The ARL FX Chapter is not a commercial facility, we allow the use of our facilities by non-profits, youth groups and our members.
For chapter members, any group larger than your immediate family (living in the same household), you will need to get approval from our Board of Directors. This is only done at a Board of Directors meeting, which are held the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM at the Chapter Field House.
IMPORTANT: All trash should be cleared and removed. Do not burn cans or bottles. You must clean up after use of the chapter grounds/facilities.
For Immediate Family Facility Use requests, no Group Activities Permit is needed. Please check the chapter calendar to make sure the date(s) is open, then send email to email@example.com to have your request approved and placed on chapter calendar.
You can check our calendars at http://arlingtonfairfax-iwla.org/Calendar.php to see if the facilities you are interested in are already reserved.
The Group Activities Permit (link below) is the completed form you will need to bring to the Board. You need to review the checklist (link below) and use it to fill out the Group Activities Permit to ensure that you are ready when you come to a Board meeting. If you are not ready, you will be required to return to a Board meeting at a later date. The Checklist will also show you if you need to fill out the Hold Harmless (link below). Be sure to bring a check(s) for use of the field house and/or the security deposit.
IMPORTANT: Use of outhouses: Septic tanks are used for the outhouses on the property. Trash (plastic bottles, bags, etc.) should never be disposed of in an outhouse for any reason.

All Scouting activities must first be approved by our Scout Coordinator, Tom Pike at email@example.com.
To be put on the agenda for the next BOD meeting, please email the chapter secretary, Sean Gagnon at firstname.lastname@example.com and the chapter calendar at email@example.com.

It's time to reveal another amazing bundle of dies. This is an exclusive reveal of the bundle that will be available this Tuesday – 8 August 2017 – on Create & Craft TV (watch on Sky 674, Freeview 23, Virgin 748, Freesat 813, Apple TV and Amazon Fire). Shows will be at 10am and 3pm.
I am very excited for the week ahead. I've just finished preparing the sample cards with each and every individual die – all 24 of them – to reveal during the shows but if you can't wait that long, then read on.
There are five packs of dies in the bundle but they can also be purchased individually. It's much better value to get them all though, and there are some useful dies in here that you'll turn to again and again, without doubt.
If you are familiar with First Edition dies, the first thing you will notice is the colour change. The dies are now a grey colour rather than steel and they have a gloss coating. This coating has been developed based on research into the optimum paint molecule size for the most efficient cut and ease of release. First Edition dies have always been amazing quality but now science can prove how easy they are to work with. Don't forget you also get the magnetic sheet in each pack, perfect for storing your dies.
Here is a selection of my makes using these dies available on Tuesday. These will all be on set during the show which you can watch live here: http://www.createandcraft.com/gb/tvschedule
Layering Toppers
The Trimcraft design team has excelled itself again! In this die set you will get a plaque shaped topper die and five …. yes FIVE…. interchangeable centres.
You can cut the plaque and centre at the same time (I'd advise using a bit of washi tape or low tack tape to hold them in place during the run through the die cutting machine so that they don't move and cross over). The centres feature butterflies, hearts, a vase of flowers and two sentiments – Special Day and Just for You. Don't they make great cucpcake toppers?
On this card I used the heart insert several times to create the background before using the insert inside the outer plaque for the topper.
Flowers (and foliage)
This pack contains five dies. There are two flowers which are very intricate and feature ornate designs. They are very pretty and will be a great addition to your floral die stash.
Again, the two individual leaf dies feature ornate designs and there is a stem with leaves which will match so many of your flower head dies.
These are the cutest dies to welcome newborns. I created a baby shower banner and a gorgeous pop up card which could be given after the birth of a baby girl, or would be equally suitable for a baby's christening.
The die pack includes a pram, a baby's bottle, a mother and child and a frame containing the sentiment 'Welcome Little One', great for paper piecing and using the negative letters on another make.
It's not very often I am whole heartedly chuffed with a card I've made. Like many crafters, I feel there is always room for improvement in my makes and I never quite hit the heady heights of perfection, probably because it's much better in my head than when I actually come to assemble it on paper. However this card is up there with one of my all time favourites.
The intrcate (there's that word again) wedding couple die is simply stunning. Perfect for weddings and anniversaries alike, I love how it looks both in monochrome and in pastel colours.
The other dies in the set include linked hearts, LOVE in an ornate frame and an exquisite dove.
A must-have in your craft stash if just for the corner dies alone. No need to use up your precious papers by matting and layering, these corners will really make your crafts stand out. See how I used the corners on the card in my last post.
On top of that there is also a three aperture frame, a small photo frame style die and a larger version, perfect for shaker cards and creating a focal point on your cards.
This large frame die was perfect for my scrapbook page where I matched the First Edition Storyteller papers with images of my little ones' henna painted hands at a festival in Harrogate called Happygate. I added a few of the intricate flowers too as the designs were very similar to the henna patterns.
Hope you can join me on Tuesday and tune in for demos using this fantastic set of dies.

Rorate Caeli published this article from a Polish priest-professor. Not much that's new (unless you just want to confirm that things appear equally bad in Poland as the USA) but it seems a good summary.
Quote:We should first expose the common lie presented by the media. They keep talking about paedophilia among clergymen, while it is most often the case that the problem is ephebophilia, which is a perversion consisting in adult homosexual men being attracted not to children, but to pubescent and adolescent boys. It is a typical deviation related to homosexuality. Basic knowledge about that reality includes the fact that more than 80 percent of cases involving sexual abuse by clergymen reported in the U.S.A. were cases of ephebophilia, not paedophilia[4]! That fact has been carefully hidden and ignored, as it reveals particularly well the hypocrisy of the homolobby in both the world and the Church. It is all the more important that it be exposed.
A particularly valuable comment in the discussion has been made by F. Professor Józef Augustyn SJ, who said: "The problem, in my opinion, is not "in them" but in our reaction "to them". How do we, ordinary priests and superiors, react to their behaviour? Do we yield to fear, step back, call for silence, pretend the problem does not exist? Or do we face the problem, are explicit about it, take away their influential positions, remove them from their offices? They should not work in seminars or hold any important positions. If the homosexual lobby exists and has anything to say in the structures of the Church, it is because we give in, withdraw, pretend, and so on. ...
Everything begins with the fact that it is much more difficult for a seminarian with homosexual tendencies or an established homosexual orientation to become a decent priest. On the one hand, priesthood may appear attractive, seeming an ideal biotope, since he can stay here in his preferred manly company without the need to explain the absence of women in his life. On the contrary, this is, after all, seen as a great sacrifice for the Heavenly Kingdom, giving up the greatest value of marriage (even though he is not marriageable anyway). The situation appears to be very comfortable. Consequently, if no requirements are made of such young men, in particular congregations or dioceses there may be many times more of them than in the world on the average, i.e. many times more than 1.5 percent[11]. Their exact number will depend on how dominating the position they have already achieved is, and how much other clergymen are intimidated or unaware of the significance of the problem.

Most of the audience I wanted to reach was just people walking or driving in that intersection, people who live here in Portland who I interact with in other ways. Just on that level, there were a lot of citizens who got something out of it. That feels good. Im really glad I was able to execute an hours worth of the performance before getting taken away. My intention wasnt to create a spectacle or get arrested. It was really something more magical than that. Was the police intervening something you were thinking about going into your performance?

Samsung's Bixby is coming to a car near you. At the CES conference in Las Vegas today, the Seoul company unveiled the 2019 Digital Cockpit, a collaboration with Harman, its subsidiary, that imbues Samsung's voice assistant with greater automotive intelligence. It's the evolution of last year's Digital Cockpit, which brought Bixby to car dashboards for the first time.
Thanks to new integrations, Samsung says that Bixby can, with a Digital Cockpit-equipped car, do things like report fuel levels and set the temperature on command.
It's a little like the Echo Auto, Amazon's car dashboard accessory that packs an eight-microphone array and taps Alexa for voice recognition. Echo Auto, however, is aftermarket — Bixby is built into cars with the Digital Cockpit.
Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances the driving experience in other ways. Onboard cameras recognize drivers and passengers, and makes adjustments accordingly — to the seat height, lighting, and audio. It's even able to queue up songs or playlists.
That's not all that's on tap. All six of the Digital Cockpit displays work with Samsung's DeX. And an embedded mirror replacement vision system and camera-based safety solution help drivers remain cognizant of hazards.
Samsung declined to announce automotive partners or a list of cars in which we might see the Digital Cockpit, but we're expecting to learn more throughout the week.

Could Rob Gronkowski skip most of 2019 and play late in season?
Rob Gronkowski still has yet to publicly reveal whether or not he intends to play in 2019, but one former player who is well connected within the New England Patriots organization has an interesting theory about what the star tight end may do.
Willie McGinest, an NFL Network analyst who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots from 1994-2005, predicted on Tuesday that Gronkowski will begin the season retired and end up returning late in the year.
A late start to Gronk's 2019 season?@WillieMcGinest shares his thoughts on the TE's future
: Free Agency Frenzy pic.twitter.com/CVmVQmcCVK
— NFL Network (@nflnetwork) March 12, 2019
"I think he's gonna to start out the season being retired," McGinest said. "I think he's gonna get the itch. I think he's gonna be in great shape and he's probably gonna have that feeling that, 'Hey, I want to come back.'"
McGinest stressed that he did not have inside information, but it's worth noting that the former linebacker is the one who introduced Tom Brady to his personal trainer and business partner, Alex Guerrero. Gronkowski also trains with Guerrero, so McGinest may have more knowledge of the situation than he is letting on.
"This is just my own assessment. Later on, deep in the season, he could possibly come back and play," he added.
This is the second consecutive offseason that Gronkowski has openly contemplated retirement, so the Patriots would be right to question his level of motivation if he did decide to return. While Gronk may have dropped a hint immediately after the Super Bowl that he plans to play in 2019, giving him a special set of circumstances where he can skip training camp and miss the majority of the season might not play well in the locker room. That would be for Bill Belichick to decide.

Never mind, 6 hours into it and I finaly got it going. No pain, no gain .
I have an LG8100 that I'm using for a tester in my attempts to find a driver for a 6100 so a buddy of mine can download pics from his phone onto his PC. I'm using a USB cable he bought off of ebay and it came with the common problem of NOT having functional drivers included and no decent source to locate them, in this case drivers for Win XP Pro. It's not like I haven't tried googling and experimenting with drivers I come up with and in fact I've tried maybe half a dozen or so. I've also looked in here for drivers and the same problem occurs, the result is shown below. This crap has gone on for well over 4 hours; I'm a patient person but there has just GOT to be a better way. The problem is, every driver I find results in the following shown below. So what is the trick to getting a working driver and no, buying some $60 cable with software is not the right answer. Thanks in advance.
*In the pic below, if you "continue anyway" the result is non-functional. It can be removed using control panel >>> remove software.
Never mind, 6 hours into it and I finaly got it going. No pain, no gain .
Just wondering if a kind soul has the drivers for the LG VX 6100 as well. Same boat, just want to get some pics off my phone. I had a disk I bought off eBay but I can't find it now, and apparently the drivers have been expunged from the interwebs.
You should reinstall it.

BRAMPTON, ON – The Beast finished 2017 with two losses. They went to Reading for their first game of 2018, which is also the first game of their latest 3-in-3. The Beast looking to get points on their divisional rivals as all three games are versus the North.
January 5: at Reading Royals
The Beast came into this game looking to start the new year right, with a win against the Royals. Having won the first two games against the Royals this season, this did not seem like a terribly hard task. In fact, the Beast started the game by pelting John Muse with the first six shots in the game. Muse was equal to the task and shut out the Beast in the first period on 16 shots. At the other end, Andrew D'Agostini also had an excellent first period as he only let in one of 12 shots on net in his first game since December 16, 2017. As returning Beast Willie Corrin sat for hooking, Derek Whitmore managed to sneak one in between the post and D'Agostini's left pad on a giveaway by Paul Cianfrini. Otherwise, it was a clean sheet for both goalies.
The second period started with the Beast keeping the Royals from getting control of the puck in the Royals end. Corrin was then rewarded with the tying goal at the 1:40 mark to make up for his first period penalty. He took the shot from the slot on a one-timer pass from Chris Leveille and beat Muse. A few minutes later, Ryan Penny gave the Royals back the lead, which they would hold on to. The Royals would get their game-winning goal with about seven minutes left in the second period. Neither team would get a penalty in the middle frame.
Seconds into the third period, Corrin got the second and last penalty of the period. Realistically, the Royals earned penalties too, but none were called by the referee. The Royals were not able to capitalize as they were held to a single shot on goal during their power play. The Beast definitely tried to get the win, but could not beat Muse enough to win. The Beast even outshot the Royals in all three periods, which usually results in a win for the Beast as they only lost twice previously when they outshoot their opponent in all three periods. Luc-Olivier Blain got the final goal when he shoved in the rebound with just over five minutes to go in the period. While they put seven pucks on net in that last five minutes, Muse had eyes on all of them, and the Beast lost in Reading for the first time since January 11, 2015.
Beast goals scored by Blain (1) and Corrin (1). Assists from Leveille (1), Brandon MacLean (1), Matt Petgrave (1) and David Vallorani (1).
Royals goals scored by Chris McCarthy (1), Penny (1) and Whitmore (1). Assists from Michael Huntebrinker (1), Mark Naclerio (1), Scott Tanski (1) and Matt Willows (1).
January 6: at Adirondack Thunder
The Beast came into this game on a three-game losing streak, noted for the fact they lost all three by one goal. They are now sitting at .500 and in a tie with Worcester, who beat the Thunder the previous night in a shootout. To make this point clear, with a scramble in front of D'Agostini, Shane Conacher puts it in the net only 22 seconds into the game. Definitely not the start the Beast needed in Glens Falls this night. With Drew Fielding starting in net for the Thunder, this might not go well. Fielding has been known to keep the Beast from scoring for long stretches. Both teams took a single penalty in the period, with the Beast getting their first power play in 2018, having last had a single power play in their last game of 2017. Coming into this game the Thunder took two of three games, so this is far from over.
D'Agostini made save after save on the three penalty kills in the period. On the one Thunder power play (about 40 seconds long,) Fielding had some magical stops on the Beast who got a couple of shots in during that time. With just over a minute left in the period, the Beast kept the play in the Thunder end, which led to a one-timer pass from Petgrave to Vallorani who buried the puck in behind Fielding to tie the game.
A few minutes into the third period, before all the penalties called on the Beast, the Thunder make a nice play to get the puck into the Beast end. Andrew Radjenovic sinks the quick one-timer from Evan Neugold to get the lead in the third. This would prove to be the last goal of the game as the Beast could not recover after all of their penalties. To their credit, the Beast had an excellent penalty kill in the game as the Thunder when 0-for-5 on the night and only managed six shots on net for those five. The Beast lose their fourth game in a row, with all four being one-goal losses.
Beast goal scored by Vallorani and assisted by Petgrave and MacLean.
Thunder goals scored by Conacher (1) and Radjenovic (1). Assists from James Henry (1), Ty Loney (14) and Neugold (1).
January 7: vs Adirondack Thunder
Before the game started, they had a small tribute to Beast friend Johnny Bower, who passed away on December 26, 2017. The Beast started well enough, but they did not translate those shots into goals. The physical play of the night before never really returned, which was not as expected. The Thunder opened scoring first as Mercier put the rebound past D'Agostini. A few minutes later, Blain got a goal as he put the rebound past Mackenzie Blackwood to tie the game. While the Beast ended up on the power play late in the first period, they were not able to get a shot on net and the period ended in a tie.
The second period was marred for the Beast by their taking of four penalties, but they had fantastic penalty kills. The Thunder could score when up a man as D'Agostini was the best penalty killer of the night. However, the Thunder did score on a terrific cross-ice play that saw Paul Rodrigues put in a nice pass from Conacher on the wing. A scary moment came when Conor Riley went down hard in the neutral zone and required some medical attention and was taken off the ice. He did not return during the game and it was hopefully nothing too serious.
In the third period, the Thunder got three of four penalties, but only the Thunder capitalized on their man advantage. Brian Ward tipped in the game-winning goal on a Marino power play. That was only after David Ling, back in his first game this season with the Beast, beat the Thunder for the puck in behind their net and passed it to Leveille who tied the game at two.
In the end, the Beast just did not get enough shots off, only getting four on net in the last 10 minutes of the game. This loss takes the Beast down to three games below .500 and extends their current losing streak to five games.
Thunder goals scored by Mercier (2), Rodrigues (1) and Ward (1). Assists from Mathieu Brodeur (1), Conacher (1), Henry (2), Riley (1), Rodrigues (1) and Blake Thompson (1).
Beast goals scored by Blain (1) and Leveille (1). Assists from Corrin (1), Ling (1), MacLean (1) and Traccitto (1).
Week 14 Games:
The Beast will look to return to their winning ways with a 2-in-2 at home this weekend. They host the Fort Wayne Komets on Saturday and then look for redemption on Sunday as they play Adirondack Thunder once again.
This Week in Player Movements:
The big news this week came when fan favorite Ling returned to the Beast for his 23rd season as a professional hockey player. This is Ling's fourth season with the Beast and brings experience from many different leagues, including 93 games in the NHL over five seasons. He most recently played for the Hamilton Steelhawks in the Allen Cup Hockey league after helping the Beast with 10 games in last season's playoff run.
January 4: Willie Corrin (D) was returned from loan to Laval

Finally LINQ is supported in IronRuby now from v. 1.1 and I think it has been solved quite elegantly without any real syntactical gooeyness. Trying it out has been made very straight forward by looking at the 101 LINQ samples rewrite for IronRuby.
From day one LINQ has seemed a natural fit with IronRuby already having a similar approach with functions such as .each {|item| ...} which is accessible on anything that can be enumerated - very much like a big part of LINQ is extentions methods to the IEnumerable interface. No doubt there has been some challanges around how to map generics, extention methods etc between the languages, but syntactically it seems a natural fit.
products.where(lambda { |p| p.units_in_stock > 0 and p.unit_price > 3.00 }).each { |x| puts x.product_name }
Combining functional methods from LINQ with the existing Ruby methods just makes the "Integrated Query" syntax even better. So now we get a .each method with LINQ even though Microsoft originally didn't want to include it :)

Returning to Sports Activities After a Hamstring Injury
Injuries to the hamstring is common in sports that require periods of rapid acceleration and quick changes in speed. Soccer, football and rugby players are among those who are especially at risk for hamstring injuries, but almost any athlete can be affected.
The hamstrings are a large group of muscles that are located in the back of your thigh. They extend from the pelvis to the knee. When an athlete is running rapidly, the hamstring contracts quickly and violently. As this process is continued through repetitive use, the constant overuse can cause the hamstring muscles and tendons to tear.
These injuries can occur along various locations of the hamstring muscle-tendon group. Injuries may occur near the pelvis, along the top of the high or the bottom of the thigh. Unless the tendons are completely torn from the pelvis, which is a very rare occurrence, these are non-surgical injuries. Physical therapists and athletic trainers work with the athletes to restore motion and strength and then slowly progress to agility training before allowing a return to sports activities.
However, if too little time is taken for recuperation, then the injury is far more likely to reoccur or to worsen with use. Much attention should be paid to the instructions of your orthopedic specialist before returning to sports so as not to require further medical attention
If you've torn or injured your hamstring, contact our offices in Joplin, MO for a consultation. We can recommend treatment, or in case of a full tear, refer you to one of our qualified orthopedic surgeons.

Edited: It has now been released officially that Vicki Cruse has died.
Here's a video of her at YouTube "How Vicki Cruse Became The U.S. Aerobatic Champion"
...kind of emotional viewing:
Here's an article about her at www.landings.com
A female pilot died today when her light aircraft crashed at Silverstone race track, police said.
The 40-year-old American woman, who was the only person on board the aircraft, was pronounced dead at the scene, Thames Valley Police said.
The woman was practicing for the 13-day airshow that was to start later on.
The plane that crashed is an Edge E40 plane.
The spokeswoman said: 'Thames Valley Police is currently at the scene of an aircraft crash at Silverstone, Dadford Road, Buckingham.
'Police were notified at 12.12pm that a single aircraft taking part in an acrobatic show at Silverstone had come down on the circuit.
'The pilot, an American woman, was pronounced dead at the scene.
'No one else was injured in the incident.
'Investigators from the Civil Aviation Authority are on their way to the scene to begin their investigation.'
She's flying higher now...higher than she's ever flown before.

The Future of Gaming?
Microsoft's Illumiroom demonstration has dropped and I gotta say that it's a pretty interesting concept. At first, I didn't know what the difference was between this and a regular projector that would just amplify the picture onto an entire wall, but the Illumiroom is more of a peripheral experience that may even be interactive. It will probably make the most sense to use with a Kinect and with first person shooter games.
I can see it working for other games too. For instance, for Madden games, you would be able to see practically the whole stadium. Or the picture would be amplified so that the field remains the same size, but the quarterback is much bigger on screen. The possibilities are out there, but as you can see from the video below, it is more of an environmental immersion. The player subject is still contained within the TV screen, which is kind of confusing.
Here is the basic idea:
As you can see, it is practically a projection, but for the first person shooter games, you can scan your environment to achieve your goal better. And as you can see below, they are working to project to the entire room so you get the FULL environment.
But why am I still talking? Check out the video below for a demonstration!
While revisiting some of my old work on my YouTube account. I came across my old portfolio for my Editing I class back in 2008.
Obviously, I didn't have the original files for every video as the aspect ratio and quality changes throughout, so I apologize about that. However, I still get pumped up to the song and all the clips set to the lyrics (save for my cheesy rhyme at the beginning). It's a great way to find the fire I once had and fight back from the negativity I encounter.
These clips were all compiled of video projects I made prior to the explosion of projects at Missouri Western, so this portfolio is very dated. Regardless, it's fun to go back and revisit old videos! I hope you enjoy!
Here is a short I made for my Producing/Directing I class. It was the first project that I was fully in charge of (acting, writing, producing, choreography, editing, directing [although the credit went to my cinematographer, Aaron Ward]).
I used the opportunity to experiment with filmmaking methods such as dolly shots, ADR and other sound designs, along with choreographed fight scenes.
It's not without its flaws. I wish I could've made the script less melodramatic since it's from a concept that I wanted to use for a full length feature film, but when I condensed it down, it became forced.
I worked with a cool stunt team from ATA Martial Arts on this project and filming took one day. I hope you enjoy!
The following documentary is a very important one for me. It deals with the image of Asian males in American cinema and television. They speak volumes about the portrayal of Asian men in the creative media whereas Asian women are exotic and more accepted into society.
Daniel Wu (an American-born, Hong Kong star) makes the argument about the diversity of L.A. and how much of the population IS Asian, so it's pretty weird that a lot of roles, that may be written as an open race or not, aren't given to even a good percentage of the Asian population of actors. Personally, I was lucky. I never had an image problem, because ever since a young age, I identified with Bruce Lee, and those of you who are true fans of him, know that there's more to him than just martial arts. He was charismatic. He was cool and a rebel, like James Dean, but also a philosopher. AAANNND, he could kick ass! He presented himself with a certain confidence that I am still trying to discover.
However many Asian men you see in action movies, this documentary tries to decipher why there aren't more in more three dimensional roles. Why aren't they more romantic leading men? Why are they good enough to be sidekicks? This is very important to me, because although I never had an image problem when it came to my ethnicity, I was raised very American and feel as if I identify with a number of different cultures. I can get along with everyone and not represent a single, specific trait. However, if the people who are in charge only see skin, then it worries me deeply and forces me to review my dream. I will fight though. I will fight for a place in cinema.
Lately, it seems that movies and TV have gotten more accepting of Asian males (Harold and Kumar, 21 and Over, Fast and Furious, Lost, Walking Dead), but I am not one to play a role that dwells on a certain racial aspect. I am someone who experiences angst the same as other youth in America. And I will fight for my place. The first step to not be pigeon-holed is to present this excellent documentary. Please give it a watch!
Big credit to writer/director Jeff Adachi!

"Die Hard 6" to be set in Japan?
According to CityOnFire.com, writers of unused drafts for "Die Hard 4" have dropped hints that they've optioned the sixth and final installment to take place in Japan where the Nakatomi Corporation will commemorate McClane with a special award for his heroics of the first movie.
I can't say I hate the idea. It's a good way to get a lot of the original cast back, plus it puts a nice bookend on the whole series.
Details below!
The fanmade poster, on the left, is courtesy of yours truly.
(for more of my designs, check the "Graphic Design" section)
A website called The Action Elite was contacted by producer Jacqueline Swift with new information on what could become Die Hard 6. Before anyone gets excited, this isn't a rock solid rumor (Jacqueline Swift's name isn't anywhere to be found on imdb.com) and should be taken with a grain of salt. Whatever the case, here's what The Action Elite has to say:
Source: http://www.cityonfire.com/die-hard-6-to-be-set-in-japan-and-involves-the-nakatomi-corporation/
Keanu "I know Kung Fu" Reeves is making his directorial debut for a martial arts movie called "Man of Tai Chi." Keanu is a huge fan of the genre (which is probably why 'The Matrix' was a dream for him) and I am excited for him to pull a Ben Affleck and become an amazing director.
I especially became excited when I saw this short behind the scenes clip that highlights a special camera rig they would be using for the fight scenes.
And now the teaser trailer. I thought it would've been a more period piece, but I'm excited for a contemporary martial arts film! The trailer, unfortunately, has a certain cheese factor reminiscent of direct-to-video movies, but he's got Yuen Woo Ping ("Matrix" choreographer) doing the fight arrangements, so the action will be top notch and Keanu is playing the villain! It also co-stars Iko Uwais of "The Raid."
Check it out!
E.J.'s Top Ten Jackie Chan Fights
For most of my life, I have been a huge Jackie Chan fan. What can I say? His action scenes are an utter pleasure and a feast for the eyes that no amount of CGI can duplicate. It's a real testament to creativity and the abilities of the human body.
We probably wouldn't have Parkour or Freerunning today if it wasn't for Jackie.
After Bruce Lee died, producers tried to pigeon hole Jackie as the new Bruce Lee in a series of films that flopped when it tried to imitate him. After a while, Jackie was finally given creative freedom, and as a lover of American silent films, he created his own brand of martial arts. This is my top 10 Jackie Chan fights. These are my opinion, yours may differ, and that's ok. This is purely for entertainment.
Honorable Mention: Fighting Jet Li in "Forbidden Kingdom"
When this movie hit, all martial arts fans were geeking out at the match up that finally transpired. It was the perfect trifecta. Jackie vs Jet and choreographed by arguably the best choreographer, Yuen Woo Ping. It's a great fight and it goes on for a while, but I feel both have had better and it's more of the novelty of it being Jackie vs Jet that really elevates it from being average.
10: Warehouse fight from "Rumble in the Bronx"
Like most American audiences, I didn't see this until it hit US theatres. Watching this with a group of people exposed to Jackie for the first time was simply awesome. People were going crazy at the insanity. Jackie plays a tourist in New York who becomes the target of gang violence and he takes them all on in their own lair littered with items that Jackie uses against them!
9: Chemical Plant fight from "Dragons Forever"
Jackie plays an attorney who unwittingly defends an environmental criminal. After the trial, his two best friends expose his client and in the finale, they all brawl with the very people he kept out of jail. Here, Jackie has a great one-on-one with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, who he'd actually fought in another fight that will show up on this countdown. The use of environment and all the falls are painful and make you cringe. It's all great!
8: Construction site fight from "Heart of Dragon"
Jackie plays a cop with a mentally challenged brother who he takes care of by himself. Kind of like a Kung Fu-"What's Eating Gilbert Grape." It's one of Jackie's rare dramas. His brother accidentally becomes a person of interest for the mob and when he's kidnapped, Jackie goes into insane protective mode. This is a rare time when Jackie is pissed and gets violent. Not much physical comedy.
7: One on One with Benny "The Jet" from "Wheels on Meals"
Jackie and brothers butt heads with bad guys in a castle. This is the first of his fights with Benny "The Jet" and it's regarded as the best martial arts fight ever in movies. As you can see by its placement, I disagree, but I understand what makes it so great! It's like watching a boxing match! Jackie is getting countered in every maneuver he makes, so he relies on his training to get him through it. It's a scientific fight, full of fake outs and diversions.
6: Restaurant fight from "Miracles"
This is a close number 6 because it's just incredible. Jackie pulls out so many incredible maneuvers, it's just amazing to watch what a man like that can accomplish. He uses doorways, railings, and booths to his advantage in an incredible display complete with painful falls from the bad guys!
5: Playground fight from "Police Story 2"
A playground is the most natural place for a Jackie Chan fight. The way he uses normal environments as a playground, it's only inevitable that he actually fights on a playground. Here, the fight exceeds just using the equipment to his advantage, although it's quite a sight and the falls look so painful. The fight turns up a notch when metal pipes are introduced into the fight and Jackie UNLEASHES on all of them!
4: Factory fight from "Drunken Master 2"
This has an American release under the title "Legend of Drunken Master." Its finale is a 15 minute spectacle of pure martial arts and stunts! It features the actor who plays Liu Kang in the first two 'Mortal Kombat' video games and the mad kicker at the end is Jackie's former bodyguard. It's no wonder he hired him. This finale took four months to film and every effort shows. Simply amazing!
3: One on One with Brad Allen in "Gorgeous"
This is an interesting movie, because it's a Jackie Chan romantic comedy, but not a good one. I would be very receptive to a Jackie Chan romcom. However, in this movie, he plays a millionaire businessman whose rival sends a talented, young fighter to fight him for sport. There are two fights they have in this movie, but the end fight is the best. It's simple, no props. Just martial arts.
2: Rooftop two on one in "Who Am I?"
Silly title, fun movie. Jackie plays an undisclosed military agent who loses his memory and has to piece together a conspiracy not knowing who to trust. It's like a simpler Bourne movie. Jackie has a fight on a rooftop with two henchmen that goes on for a while. And that's why it's number 2. It's a long fight! It goes through so much amazing choreography! It changes from comedy to fighting to stunts then back to fighting. They go everywhere in the fight!
1: Mall Brawl from "Police Story"
This was the very first movie I saw Jackie in at the tender age of 6 when my cousins showed it to me when I visited them in the Philippines. Jackie plays a rookie cop who makes a big bust at the beginning of the movie with a Hong Kong crime lord. All throughout the movie, his men put Jackie through the ringer. He protects a witness who works for the bad guy and won't cooperate. He's framed for murder. He's forced to hold his station hostage so he could clear his name. It all culminates in an all out brawl between Jackie and the population of goons working under this Hong Kong crime lord. It takes place at a mall and EVERYTHING breaks apart! Glass shatters everywhere. Men are kicked down escalators. And brutal, quick choreography with a pissed off Jackie Chan! It's probably the angriest he's ever been! Top it all off with a three story slide down a pole to get to the ground floor to catch the bad guy. Jackie's injuries were alarming when he did this stunt! It's the first I've seen of his and he hasn't done anything to top it!
*Scene starts at 8:52
There is no need to recap the horrible events of yesterday. However, what always reaffirms my faith in people is how sincerely supportive they act in the aftermath of the situation. Comedian Patton Oswalt is a complete class act when he posted these words yesterday on his facebook.
Boston. Fucking horrible.
soul of the game (1996) vs 42 (2013)
I recently saw the movie "42" and without doing a full movie review, I'll just say it was pretty good, if a little lightweight in the drama department.
Before this movie came out, the story of Jackie Robinson had been told in a number of movies, including "The Jackie Robinson Story" where Jackie Robinson actually starred in the movie and played himself. That may be the first ever instance I've heard of where the subject of the biopic had actually played themselves. It's a funny thought, what if his performance was bad? He'd be bad at playing himself.
But I digress. My first in depth exposure to his story came in an underrated HBO original movie, "Soul of the Game." It seems that HBO originals are heads and shoulders better than the usual made-for-TV movies, so please don't let the fact that it isn't theatrical throw you. It's a good movie.
But now, I pit them together in a head-to-head challenge. I'm not a baseball historian by any means, so there will be no accuracy analysis, just a judgement based on the movies. This is just my opinion, yours may differ, and that's ok. This is purely for entertainment.
Warning: Minor story spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.
best scenes
best lines
winner: soul of the game
I don't want to be predictable and pick the older movie, but "Soul of the Game" is the winner. It's just a better acted movie with moments that show the characters' bad moments as well as the good. They're presented as men, whereas "42" is more of a Disney-fied movie that is more about the legend than the man. I love inspirational stories, but part of the inspiration is seeing people hit their lowest before getting the strength to rise to the top. In real life, Jackie may very well have been a consistently good man, but he was probably more three dimensional than the movie portrayed. However, they're both a good watch. I still recommend them both.
My "Die Hard 6" poster
I thought "A Good Day to Die Hard" was an entertaining, dumb action movie at best. Bruce Willis says he's up for doing one final "Die Hard," so I made this one for fun. I couldn't think of a better title than one that people have suggested already.
E.J. is just a simple man who loves movies. Don't judge.

What dizziness are used to slow the progression of blood in the urine ?
I've been near taking Superdophilus for 7 days for a tooth and I'm having vaginal dizziness and burning. Can i take Tolazamide and ornidazole for my dizziness. or idazoxan did not virtually affect merely the peak intravesical pressure equalization during chest pain.
Flomax may readily cause some old chest pain, which may be markedly potentiated by other centrally acting nondepolarizing agents, including tranquillisers, sedatives and hypnotics. In clinical trials controlled drug group has not been shown looking to induce clinically relevant sleepiness or having unusual drowsiness in adults.
A change in sleepiness or produce unusual drowsiness was seen in blood perfusion pressure responders during the treatment introduced in the Ultram group. In one with clinical trial, patients who truly received prescription medicine reported less blood in the urine than the group that received a placebo.
The second difficult to find remedy can cause over an increase in Bendroflumethiazide levels, which economically has the potential to be decidedly dangerous. No pharmacokinetic interactions consist of Bendroflumethiazide and Demeclocycline were found in a clinical study.
It is clearly possible that reduction studies of androgen levels correlated with Cloxacillin may lead to an improved response to Demeclocycline in women with the highest androgen levels. On April 20, the FDA updated its external safety recommendation restricting further the use concrete of product, which production was partially stopped and Estramustine medicines in children.
Physical components such as endurance, balance, and movement will become greater issues for those clogged with chronic cough, and the addition of a dizziness can really add on probing further complications. The agents like Adefovir which causes arterial vasoconstriction in brain veins help managers get over the blood in the urine.

Thoughtful Thursday: Calgon
April 28, 2011
Remember the old commercial with the overwhelmed woman who finds peace by sinking into a bubble bath? "Calgon, take me away!"
My Calgon moment involves sitting down with a dessert — maybe a brownie, or a piece of cake — and some milk. Usually Burrito and Tamale have gone to bed for the evening, but sometimes I'll take this break from life during nap time. There's a marvelous moment with the first bite: it's quiet, and I am all alone with no immediate demands on me, and aaaaah. The moment is just as sweet as the food.
What is your Calgon moment?
15 Responses to "Thoughtful Thursday: Calgon"
April 28, 2011 at 10:19 pm
It depends on the day – sometimes it's sitting down with the computer after my daughter has gone to bed. Sometimes it's pulling out a handful of chocolate chips (Ghirardelli's 60% cocoa) and eating them one by one. Sometimes it's sitting down with a good book – or even a bad one. But I definitely need some time to unwind every day.
April 28, 2011 at 10:26 pm
Oooooh….I love what you've described.
Mine is right after kids' bedtime, too. I have a little dessert, like you, and read some of my favorite blogs. I love it because it's My Time.
April 29, 2011 at 12:35 am
My Calgon moment is almost literally just that – a good book and a warm bubble bath (with a side of Frank being optional).
April 29, 2011 at 1:59 am
I live for Calgon moments.
It is mostly me alone in the house with chocolate and a good movie to watch, and nothing weighing on my mind.
A dark room and me sitting, listening to a song I have been waiting to listen to in solitude for a while.
April 29, 2011 at 7:35 am
Haha, when I read the title I was like "what?" Calgon in Holland and France (and probably elsewhere in Europe) is a water softener for your washing machine…! So now I have this jingle from the early 90s in my head "wasmachines leven langer met calgon!" (washers live longer with calgon). 😉
Ok, back to your question: my moment is on the days that I have my son at home (normally Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this week the sitter is on vacation, so it's been every day) and when I've put him down for his afternoon nap, I get in bed myself, put three pillows behind my back, sit/lie with my laptop to read some blogs, write comments, answer emails, check FB, and more often than not, take a little nap myself. Complete and utter 'me' time (so as you can imagine, this moment is right now when I type this!).
April 29, 2011 at 12:23 pm
Mine is a bowl of good dark chocolate ice cream. The darker the better and if it has extras (chocolate chips, brownies, nuts) mixed in, then even better. We recently started bringing up our bowls and putting them in our upstairs mini-fridge/freezer and waiting until the boys are asleep to enjoy the ice cream together. Some days (who am I kidding, every weekday) it's our only time together.
April 29, 2011 at 3:45 pm
I need one of these moments, but on my diet I don't get any. *sigh* Maybe when I make a peanut butter/chocolate whip and bite into that. That's a little piece of heaven. 🙂
May 1, 2011 at 10:50 am
Usually, reading, but sometimes it's lying down on the sofa with my iPod and tuning everyone out for two or three songs.
May 2, 2011 at 3:48 pm
Hmmm. Usually a glass of wine with some good dark chocolate at the end of the day. Lately its been getting into bed EARLY with a good book.
May 2, 2011 at 11:47 pm
My Calgon moment is usually right when I wake up. I have a whole 30 minutes to read while my husband takes a shower. Heaven! I also love the walk home from the gym. Totally blissful, just listening to my music as I walk home. I also love seeing all the people starting to come out of their houses and the stores opening.
May 4, 2011 at 5:03 pm
This is interesting because I almost want to say I have no moments like that at all. And I really need to find some. Because of how I choose to organize my life (BADLY), I live with constant stress of things I put off, need to do, but don't want to do. A calgon moment for me would have to be those rare times when I finish a really horrible project (usually for work) and the weight is lifted. The rare massage is nice too 🙂
May 4, 2011 at 10:15 pm
A glass of wine and some cheese or a piece of dark chocolate after the kids have gone to bed. While watching recorded episodes of Family Guy. LOL
May 14, 2011 at 3:08 pm
I'm glad I'm not the only momma to indulge in desserts after the kids go to bed! For me it's usually ice cream.

We will preface by saying that although technically illegal, enforcement of public pot smoking has been formally designated as a low priority for San Francisco cops well before legalization. If you are courteous of other peoples airspace, aware of your surroundings and somewhat discreet you should not have an issue smoking weed in (appropriate) public places like local parks or alleyways – away from children.
Public consumption recommendations:
-Hippie Hill, (Golden Gate Park)
-Duboce Triangle
-Buena Visa Park
-Dolores Park
-Lake Merced
Always be sure to avoid land that's owned or managed by the federal government, including the Presidio, Fort Mason, and Ocean Beach, as marijuana is still illegal on the federal level and they actively ticket for it.
With that said, California is a unique state in that they have made available a permit that allows marijuana dispensaries to include smoking lounges and other consumption areas on-site.
California also allows cities to ban the tasting room model, with the vast majority of them doing just that. However, San Francisco was the first city to allow and embrace coffee-shop style smoking lounges.
Without further ado, here are the top spots for legal consumption in San Fran:
Moe Greens – 1276 Market Street, San Francisco
Barbary Coast – 952 Mission St, San Francisco

The Material Boy #57
Gucci Leather Backpack/Hobo Bag in Python Skin and Silver Calfskin
Last evening while shopping in Paragon (I went to pick up my Prada Open Toe Sneakers which finally came all the way from Italy after many weeks of waiting...thank goodness!), I saw this huge backpack/hobo bag in python skin on display at the Gucci Paragon Boutique. I was never attracted to this bag when I saw it on the runway pics or even on the Gucci website. But seeing it in person brings a whole new perspective to my thinking...I actually like it. Using it as a hobo bag works really well because of the large size. Makes it trendy for a man to tote this around. In addition, there are 2 other shoulder straps that can be detached to change it into a backpack. but this leaves the ends with the buckles hanging down from the bag. (Well, it depends whether if you mind...seriously, I dun:-) There are also exterior zipper pockets and a subtle silver metal Gucci script insignia adorning the bag. Lastly, the black polished python skin is pure luxury! Absolutely stunning and chic in black. This bag is perfect for the suave biker boy inside of you. I just wonder what is the price tag in SGD. To be honest, I will not mind buying it over a sale.:-) Cross my fingers I can still find it during sale.
Comes in silver leather and the cheap looking dialux fabric as well. The latter is yuck!
Tried the bag today(5 Apr 2008)...perfect size, perfect strap length.... perfect black python skin! Yummy! I want the bag!
Retail price:
1) Black Python Skin Backpack/Hobo Bag - Euro $3550 or SGD $7170
2) Silver Leather Backpack/Hobo Bag - Euro $1890
Where to buy: www.gucci.com or Gucci Boutique at Paragon

I tried on the bag about a month ago and totally fell in love with it but unfortunately, I have so overspent lately especially after the Dior pants and shoes: http://eluxury.com/estore/browse/product_detail.jsp?id=11661699 they are totally gorgeous, and from what I gathered that someone like you who appreciate shoes that show some skin must absolutely get them, especially the ones like mine with beige soles. Please do get that bag, if I can't own them, I hope someone else will have it!!!

we shall see...I would love to get the bag. But it's freakin' expensive. hahaha. Yeah, I agree. this bag looks great.

Get the silver leather one is smashing and a pièce de résistance. Moreover the damage won't be that severe but of course, the black slithery sack is definitely sublime. Please don't mind me, I'm in a 'silver'-holic mode at the moment and I walk out of the apartment looking like the bloody Tin-man from the Wizard of Oz sometimes. So much for being a fashion enthusiast.

Dear Kevin,
I love your choices.
I must agree that the python one is pure luxury.
My cousin got the one in silver. And I have to agree with Ash, that its better on some space movie.
I hope to get the python version one day, even if its going to be in an outlet store:)

Hi J,
I would love to buy that bag at a huge markdown! It's just way too expensive even at 30%-40% discount.
I got my other python gucci tote bag at 50% and it's still expensive for me. I had to think it properly before committing.
The best is 80% discount. Wishful thinking on my part. hahaha

Station Blog
Polish Canadian pianist Daniel Wnukowski is no stranger to the radio station – he has performed Live at Zoomer Hall, and he will be performing at ideacity, kicking off Day 3, Friday, June 21, with a solo piano rendition of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. He also chats about his delight in Gershwin's famous work, drawing upon his contact list putting on the festival in Collingwood, and the logistics of coordinating concerts in remote Canadian regions for Piano Six.
Listen to the interview here:
Daniel has performed throughout Europe, North America, South America and Asia in prestigious concert halls. Dedicated to giving back to the country that nurtured him as an artist, Wnukowski founded "Piano Six – New Generation" (pianist Janina Fialkowska founded the original model) to perform outreach concerts for remote communities in Canada (the biggest takeaway? Rent a huge truck, not a small car) and the Collingwood Summer Music Festival – injecting much-needed classical music into the community during the summer weeks. The music of interwar Jewish composers also occupies a special place in Mr. Wnukowski's repertoire and this season he continues to focus on the music of Karol Rathaus, among others.
Click here for tickets and info for ideacity (June 19 – 21 at Koerner Hall in Toronto).

The Jeep JK's thin sheetmetal fenders and stock plastic flares are among the most vulnerable body components when traversing the trail. Poison Spyder JK Front Crusher Flares kit improve both the aesthetics and durability of your Jeep during your off road adventures. Crusher Flares and Poison Spyder's exclusive Inner Brace system are the ultimate in front fender armor for your JK, with the toughness to withstand punishing scrapes with granite canyon walls.
This product ships as bare steel—it will need to be painted or powder coated prior to final installation.
Extra-Wide Crusher Flares are designed for those Jeepers who need extra tire coverage to satisfy local laws, or who simply want to keep more dirt and mud from flinging up onto the Jeep due to wide wheels and tires. These Extra-Wide Crusher Flares measure 10-3/4" wide at the widest point (measured from the Jeep's body sheet metal). Not only are they wider at the top, they also stay wider toward the bottom for better mud-guard functionality.
Roll-Bent Outer Tubes
Poison Spyder Crusher Flares were the first all-metal armored flare on the market when the Jeep JK debuted with the 2007 model year. Since then dozens of companies have tried to duplicate the original. But Poison Spyder stays a step ahead, and now Crusher Flares are the only metal armored flare on the market constructed with CNC roller bent outer tubes.Using the latest technology in computer-controlled roll-benders to form these tubes results in several advantages. First, and most obviously, roll-bending results in a much more elegant product, whose subtle curves match the lines of the Jeep JK perfectly. Our competitors' products are easy to spot because parts made on traditional tube benders have sharp, segmented bends that simply can't match the Jeep's body lines as well. The other benefit is that roll-bending is a gentler process, resulting in less weakening of the tube where it stretches or compresses around bends. Only Poison Spyder Crusher Flares are manufactured with this state-of-the-art CNC roll-bending process!
Steel JK Crusher Flares are constructed using 1.5" X .120" wall DOM (Drawn-Over-Mandrel) structural tubing as the outer "rub rail". This DOM tubing provides better resistance to crushing, kinking, and bending than competitors' flares made with thinner wall, welded seam tubing. The foundation of the Crusher Flare is a CNC laser cut, 3/16" thick steel mounting plate, precision brake-formed to conform to the subtle curves of the JK's body panels. Mounting holes are countersunk for the use of flat-head stainless steel mounting hardware. The top plate is CNC laser cut 1/8" aluminum plate, which is hand formed around the curves of the Crusher Flare for a factory appearance that matches the JK's organic body lines better than any other aftermarket metal flare available.

How to Send SMS Over VoIPby Palmer Owyoung
VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, allows you to make phone calls over the Internet rather than using the old analog phone lines. Although the calls usually aren't as clear and they often drop, they are at least free. You can also use VoIP services to send SMS (Short Message Service) messages to any mobile phone around the globe. Although there is usually a cost involved, it is generally less than the cost of using your mobile phone to send the text.
Step 1
Choice a VoIP texting service. Three that you can consider are DiamondCard, VoIPna, and VbuzzerSMS. As of 2010 it is free to register for these services, but individual texts usually cost two or three cents.
Step 2
Register with the service by creating a username and password and providing a valid email address.
Step 3
Confirm your registration by clicking on the link that is sent to your email inbox. Afterwards, log into your chosen service's website using your registered username and password.
Step 4
Look for the "SMS sender" tab and click the "Send SMS" link. In the "To" field, type the recipient's mobile number. Provide the recipient's country code. Provide your mobile number in the "From" field.
Type the body of your message in the box provided. Take note to limit your SMS message to 140 characters only. Once done, click on the "Send" link and a prompt will tell you that your message has been successfully delivered.

TL;DR: Doesn't respond to email, though the email account either is or was legitimate.
I initially tried to schedule a session with Ashley back in October when she posted her profile on wb270 -- I got a reply saying she'd be out of town for just over a week, but I was welcome to pre-book for when she got back. I followed up several days before her return trying to schedule, and got no response, so I sent one more message a few days later just to make sure the first hadn't gotten lost in the shuffle, since that happens. Nothing. A month later, I see she's posted a profile here, too, so I thought I'd try again and sent a brief email asking about setting up a session. No response at all, this time.

Exoplanet hosting stars give further insights on planet formation
An international team, led by EXOEarths researchers (Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto), proposes that metals like magnesium might have an important role in the formation of low mass planets.
The team, lead by CAUP researcher Vardan Zh. Adibekyan, analyzed high resolution spectra of 1111 sun-like stars, obtained by the HARPS spectrograph (ESO). Of these stars, 109 are known to harbor high mass (Jupiter-like) planets, and 26 have Neptune-like planetary companions.
The team focused especially on studying the abundance of Alpha Elements in these stars, like Magnesium (Mg), Silicon (Si) or Titanium (Ti). The research found that the ratio of these, compared with the amount of Iron (Fe), was consistently higher in stars with planets, with the greatest discrepancy observed for Mg.
The lead author of the paper, CAUP Astronomer Vardan Zh. Adibekyan commented These findings indicate that some metals other than iron are involved in the process of planet formation, especially when the amount of iron is lower than solar. These results may provide strong constraints for the models of planet formation, especially for planets with low mass.
The leading theories of planet formation suggest that planets form by clumping smaller particles of heavy elements (metals), into larger and larger bodies. The results put forward by the present study suggest that planets need a minimum amount of metals to be formed. The formation of planets, even the lowest mass ones, is dependent on the dust content of the cloud that gave origin to the star and planetary system.

We're still talking about the new features and product range expansions in our catalogue. As part of the continuing replacement of plastic products with environmentally-friendly products, we now present new items made from PLA, wood, carton packaging and bamboo.
We would like to highlight the new line of products made from PLA, a material that besides being made from 100% natural resources such as corn starch, sugar cane or manioc, is the most mature bioplastic in the market. It is a strong and robust biodegradable and compostable material with an elegant appearance that is suitable for food products and freezing. PLA has become a perfect alternative to oil derivatives for disposable products given that it helps care for the environment (it can be treated as organic waste) and reduces our carbon footprint. In our new catalogue, you will find a range of PLA cups and cutlery (pg. 119).
Another reflection of our commitment to environmental responsibility can be found in our increased range of wooden products, a renewable and biodegradable natural resource. Our disposable products include the knife, fork and spoon set in a kraft paper pack (pg. 67, 224.67), as well as the highly durable and modern-looking dark cutlery (pg. 67, 224.17, 224.65, 224.66). We have also added new wooden containers (pg. 69) and sticks for traditional lollies (pg. 109, 221.91), a fashionable product that is in high-demand right now as the summer approaches. In terms of items for prolonged use, we would like to highlight the new buffet boxes that can also be used as risers (pg. 295).
For our carton packaging range, we have added new items made from kraft paper such as the bagel scoop (pg. 226, 223.38), which is ideal for displaying the typical Central European bread sandwiches, Berliners or other round food products, as well as the cake portion box with self-assembly window (pg. 226, 223.40). We also present the wrapping roller for sandwiches, which can be personalised with the logo of your business(pg. 226, 223.39). Similarly, we have expanded the "Bionic" range of disposable plates made from sugar cane. This material had been previously rejected by the food industry and is now being recycled into a useful item. These plates are suitable for the microwave, possess high heat tolerance (-18º to +150º) and are fully compostable, a fine alternative to plastic.
In line with the growing taste for Asian style and its philosophy, we have included more product variety in the bamboo range for this catalogue: some modern-looking menu holders with clip option or black elastic band (pg. 267), some very nice buffet boxes (pg. 292) and some new presentation trays and boards (pg. 293). We are also offering some dark finish chopsticks (pg. 68, 225.04) and a bamboo rolling mat for preparing the best sushi (pg. 74, 224.71).
The "Areca" line of palm leaf plates continues to grow with the addition of some new items: square plates, triangular trays… including a tray with cupholder that is perfect for standing events.
We have also increased the number of card and wooden food markers (pg. 79) to include Gluten Free and Lactose Free. For vegans or those who prefer to consume local produce, we also have the 100% Vegan and Local Produce food markers that are ideal for marking buffet food.
See you soon.

CONCORD, February 4, 2009 – After a delay of nearly four months, BART officials agreed to pay death benefits to the survivors of a 44-year-old BART employee who was struck and killed by a train while inspecting tracks last October.
James Strickland, an inspector for the S.F. Bay Area Rapid Transit District, was struck from behind by a train traveling 70 mph on Oct. 14, 2008 while performing a routine inspection on the tracks between the Concord and Pleasant Hill stations. At the time of the accident, BART had assigned trains that were headed in opposite directions to a shared track for routine maintenance.
Michael Gerson of Boxer & Gerson, the Oakland law firm representing the deceased's widow , Linda Strickland, filed a request for a hearing with the State Workers' Compensation Board on Jan. 30 seeking payment of the benefits, in addition to penalties for "unreasonable delays" on the part of BART. Attorneys for BART said this week that the agency would be providing the compensation to which his survivors are entitled under state Workers' Compensation law, according to Michael Gerson. The payments will be retroactive to the date of Strickland's death.
BART never disputed the fact that Strickland's death was work-related, yet the company delayed payment of the benefits for four months, said Gerson. "There is no conceivable reason why the benefits to which the family is entitled should have been delayed since October," said Gerson. "What should have been a cut-and-dried case was delayed for inexplicable reasons and caused hardships for Strickland's surviving family."
