From Walking Disaster to Kung Fu Master.
|Stephen Chow (director and star of Shaolin Soccer) is at it again with his newest action-packed and comedic martial-arts adventure, Kung Fu Hustle. From wildly imaginative kung fu showdowns to dance sequences featuring tuxedoed mobsters, you've never seen action this outrageous and characters this zany! With jaw-dropping fight sequences by Yuen Wo Ping (famed action choreographer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix), Kung Fu Hustle will blow you away! In a town ruled by the Axe Gang, Sing (Stephen Chow) desperately wants to become a member. He stumbles into a slum ruled by eccentric landlords who turn out to be kung fu masters in disguise. Sing's actions eventually cause the Axe Gang and the slumlords to engage in an explosive kung fu battle. Only one side will win and only one hero will emerge as the greatest kung fu master of all.
"...it seems to whirr every kung-fu movie ever made into the most luscious action smoothie you'll ever imbibe. David Edelstein, Slate
"Think Kill Bill meets Looney Tunes. Entertainment Weekly
"Don't miss it! Exhilaratingly hilarious! Lou Lumenick, New York Post
"...[Chow is] a one-man comedy parade...dumb fun this smart is a gift. Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Editor's NoteStephen Chow's follow-up to SHAOLIN SOCCER ups the over-the-top action quotient by about three zillion percent. The story is set in 1930s Hong Kong, with Chow as a shaggy-haired, would-be bad guy named Sing, who gets caught up in the middle of a war between the top-hat-wearing Axe gang and the hard scrabble inhabitants of Pig Sty Alley. Chow--who wrote, produced, and directed--doesn't step in as the star here for quite a while, letting the comic duties fly in a myriad of directions: a landlady in curlers (Yuen Qiu) has a yell that can flatten buildings; people get kicked across courtyards and through walls; musician assassins whip ghost sabers from lyre strings, and a mental patient in pink flip-flops named "the Beast" (Leung Siu Lung) catches bullets in his fingers. Buoyed by SOCCER's box office success, HUSTLE uses bigger production values and a dizzying amount of CGI-enhanced martial arts (imagine Bruce Lee vs. Bugs Bunny in THE MATRIX). It's full of references to other films and filmmakers, revering spaghetti westerns and '70s Shaw brothers movies a la Tarantino's KILL BILL (fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping worked on both films). It also pays sly homage to the works of Wong Kar Wai, D.W. Griffith, Sam Raimi, Jean-Luc Godard, Stanley Kubrick, and Akira Kurosawa. Raymond Wong's inspired score matches each cinematic reference with the appropriate cue as the camera circles and swoops around the sprawling sets. This is a real treat, more than a great action film or comedy, it's a great film period, and one that set box office records in the East.

Kung Fu Hustle - DVD Review
By: Nicholas Schager filmcritic.com DVD Reviews
Published on: 7/20/2007 7:28 PM
|Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer was a unique genre potpourri in which sports films, The Matrix, and science fiction anims all irreverently coalesced into a frantically funny tale of victorious underdogs. The filmmaker's signature cartoon craziness – an idiosyncratic mixture of Buster Keaton's physical comedy and Dragonball Z's lunatic action – likewise permeates Kung Fu Hustle, a similarly ridiculous medley of gangster pictures, musicals, and martial arts films. ...read the full review

Editorial misses the mark
Re "The human cost of war" (Editorial, June 3): This article contains a glaring omission of the most pertinent fact of the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. While the Ed Board contributors covered known facts and a few unverified suppositions regarding this individual's captivity, it failed to mention the most glaring and unnerving part of the process: that President Obama once again violated a law, the one regarding notification to Congress 30 days prior to making the exchange transaction.
Now the White House spin to try to cover this newest avoidance of legal process claims that time was of the essence and didn't allow for following the law as passed by Congress in order to obtain the recovery of the individual.
The Ed Board ignoring this latest violation of federal law by The White House says volumes about the lack of veracity of the opinions expressed in this editorial and The Bee policies in general.

OPP: Going Home for Thanksgiving
by Slacker And Steve
posted Nov 19 2012 2:36PM
Today's OPP comes from Taylor...
Tyler is headed home for Thanksgiving and his parents always pester him about bringing home a nice girlfriend. He is tired of hearing it every time he goes home…plus,he's gay. He needs a nice girl with no Thanksgiving plans to go to his parent's house with him and pretend to be the best girlfriend in the world.
Slacker doesn't see this ending well. As a condition, there are people on the phone that want to gice you advice. There are other gay people that want to critisize, advise or help and he has to listen to them in order for Slacker and Steve to help him.
Steve thinks it's worth a shot. They just have to get together and get their stories straight. Like when they met, what they like to do together, etc.
This woman can't hope for a relationship from this. This is a great opportunity for an actress to advance her skills, maybe someone not going home for the holiday or maybe an "orphan" who needs a full on Thanksgiving dinner.
More than likely the guys are hoping to talk Taylor out of this idea and get him some solid advice.
What advice do you have for Taylor?
You're how old? Man, tell your folks the deal. It may complicate things for a while, but you're in your twenties. Stop acting like you know how they will repond and live YOUR life! You have so much more to gain by the freedom you will have once you open up about this in all aspects of your life. It you don't express your passions, you're denying yourself the opportunity to live life to the fullest.

Please Enter Your Comments Below
The question you have to ask yourself Tyler is what option has a higher risk of giving you regret? My thought...many think love is the hardest thing to find in life, I believe it is trust. Once lost, may never be truly found, whole, again. Deception and lying lead ultimately to hurt and loss of trust. Ultimately all lies are exposed. Can you live with deceiving and lying to your parents, on a level as basic as who you are? Or will you regret it when it is exposed? I am not saying come out to your parents as that is a separate process. As a mother, probably very close in age to yours, with a son about your age , lying about self is the absolute worst thing we could ever do to each other and would cause more pain than anything else I can imagine. Think of living life without regret, especially when it comes to your actions, words, and deeds. The rest will take place in its own time. Good luck

Recipe: Moroccan carrot and orange salad
Follow The JC on Twitter
This salad has got so much going for it. It is fresh, colourful – in an orange sort of way - and really, really good for you. The cinnamon, cumin and orange flower water dressing makes it sexy enough to serve to guests, and it is also totally more-ish. You can prepare the dressing and the salad components a day ahead, just don't dress it until you are ready to serve.
If you don't eat it all, it will keep well in your fridge for a few days.
Serves 4.
For the dressing
● ½ tsp ground cumin
● ½ tsp ground cinnamon
● 1 tbsp runny honey or agave syrup
● Juice of ½ a lemon
● ½ tbsp orange flower water (optional)
● 75ml extra-virgin olive oil
● Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salad
● 500g carrots, coarsely grated (best done with your food processor grater attachment)
● 2 medium or 1 large orange, peeled, segmented and pips removed
● 50g raisins or golden sultanas
For the garnish
● Handful of roughly chopped coriander
● 2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
● Soak the raisins for at least 30 minutes (or preferably overnight) in boiling water. If the excess liquid is sweet you can add it to the dressing. Otherwise, discard. Add the raisins to the other salad ingredients in a large bowl.
● For the dressing: mix the cumin, cinnamon and honey/agave syrup in a bowl. Mix in the lemon juice and orange flower water. Whisk in the oil and season with salt, pepper and the syrup to taste.
● Add the dressing, mix gently and check the seasoning again. Garnish with the coriander and pine nuts.

Sex Trafficking in the US
in Parents
Today Annie Abram and her guest, David Trotter, will discuss sex trafficking in the US. There are "100,000 children in the sex trade in the United States each year. In the US, sex trafficking commonly occurs in online escort services, residential brothels, brothels disguised as massage businesses or spas, and in street prostitution. Victims are frequently lured by false promises of a lucrative job, stability, education, or a loving relationship. In the U.S., victims can be men or women, adults or children, foreign nationals or U.S. citizens. While they share the trait of vulnerability, victims have diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, varied levels of education, and may be documented or undocumented." (http://www.polarisproject.org/human-trafficking/overview)
David Trotter is filmmaker, author, and speaker with a passion to help people take action on important social justice issues in our world. He is the Co-executive Producer and Co-director on two documentaries - MOTHER INDIA: Life Through the Eyes of the Orphan (www.motherindiafilm.com) as well as IN PLAIN SIGHT: Stories of Hope and Freedom (www.inplainsightfilm.com).

Human Trafficking - A Survivors Story - Laurin Crosson
in Motivation
Laurin Crosson, Founder & Director of Rockstarr Ministries says "My story is graphic, and yet sharing it has become healing for me and those who are in a hopeless place. Individuals find a balm of hope and spark of courage for their own lives. Others feel called to join me in my quest to serve those who need to be reconnected with their personhood and belief that their lives can be so much more. I am not ashamed to share the details of the lowest points in my life and the struggles I faced, nor the methods I employed to survive. They have brought me to a place of understanding the desperate place that others find themselves in. Survival was the name of the game. I am not ashamed because I found a silver thread of belief that my life could and would be different and held onto it until I found the evidence to back up that hope. Individuals who are living and working in the life have trusted me and borrowed that thread of hope until they found their own courage and I have assisted stars, strippers, and prostitutes.
Over the last several years, awareness of sex trafficking has continued to increase and its insidious prevalence has been documented to be widespread throughout the world. The women, children, and men taken into this trade are often lured or tricked into servitude through lies, deceit, manipulation, abuse, and very typically against their will. Such actions leave victims devoid of self-esteem or self-worth, yearning for a sense of purpose and justice in their circumstances. It is here that the ministry of Jesus Christ, unlike anything else, can bridge the gap between what is and what may be. Through the compassion and lessons taught by Jesus, every victim can find hope, courage, and the strength to recognize their destiny as a child of God.
The forgotten children: Sex-trafficking in America with Alexa
The majority of these children being sold for sex are girls between the ages of 7 years and 14. They are girls abducted or lured by traffickers and then routinely raped, beaten into submission, and sometimes even branded. When the girls try to run away, their traffickers torture and or gang rape them.
The ugly truth is that it is less risky and more profitable to sell a girl than crack cocaine or meth. The U.S. government spends 300 times more money each year to fight drug trafficking than it does to fight human trafficking. And the criminal penalties for drug trafficking are generally greater than the ones usually levied against those who traffic in girls. Traffickers, and especially the politely termed "Johns," are rarely arrested and prosecuted. Which explains the growing demand for vey young girls— at the click of a mouse, a "John" can purchase a girl online on legitimate websites like Backpage.com, with minimal fear of punishment.
Many of these girls who are bought and sold for sex come out of a broken foster care system. "Of the trafficking victims in Alameda County, California, 55 percent were from foster youth group homes. In New York, 85 percent of trafficking victims had prior child welfare involvement. And in Florida, the head of the state's trafficking task force estimates that 70 percent of victims are foster youth.
" born into the foster care system and trafficked at the age of 10, sold to men all over California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada. She recently shared her own observation at a Congressional briefing on how foster care rendered her vulnerable to being exploited. "In most of my 14 different placements in foster care homes, I was raped, and attached to a check. I understood very early that I could be raped, cared for, and connected to money. It was therefore easy to go from that to a pimp, and at least the pimp told me that he loved me."

Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. It involves controlling a person through force, fraud, or coercion to exploit the victim for forced labor, sexual exploitation, or both. 122 products have been identified to have forced/child labor and the beauty industry is no exception. Every 30 seconds another person becomes a victim of human trafficking. 1 in 3 victims of human trafficking is a child.

Vouchers have new champions on the Hill
GOP lawmakers are busy lobbying peers over using federal money to send children to private schools.
News, Analysis and Opinion from POLITICO
GOP lawmakers are busy lobbying peers over using federal money to send children to private schools.
"Millions are still struggling" despite Friday's big job numbers, House Speaker John Boehner says.
GOP leaders in the House and Senate each say the other chamber needs to pass a bill to end the logjam.
'He's got a tough job over there,' he said of the Senate leader. 'I got a tough job over here.'
It will be the first time the head of the Roman Catholic Church has addressed a joint session.
Joe Biden is among those not committed to attending his address to Congress.
The 'fight must be won in the United States Senate,' the speaker said.
He faces huge fights on immigration, national security, highway funding and taxes.
"It was the speaker's responsibility" to notify the administration about Netanyahu's invitation, Derner says.
It's been a tough January for Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi.
House and Senate Republicans are already facing primary threats.
"Our relationship with Israel is too important to use as a pawn in political gamesmanship," they write.
Nancy Pelosi and Chris Van Hollen were key opponents of a tax on 529 plans.
The resolution could authorize further legal action against the Obama administration over its moves on immigration,
The House speaker says he extended the invitation as a branch of the federal government that is equal to the White House.
They had to pull a bill last week to ban abortions after 20 weeks, and they are now having trouble lining up the votes for a border-security bill.
What Boehner's invitation to Netanyahu says about Washington's mess.
Boehner must placate traditional Republicans unafraid to buck the right.
She says it's 'out of the ordinary' to invite a foreign leader to address Congress without consulting the minority party.
House Speaker John Boehner announces that he's invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to a joint session of Congress about...
The speaker didn't consult with the administration before inviting Netanyahu to address Congress about Iran.

Where to find wooden barrels in NJ
I'm looking for an inexpensive source for wooden barrels for a strawberry barrel(s) and perhaps for potatoes.
Anyone have a good source in NJ (Trenton area even better)?
Gotta jump on board here too... I was about to post this same question. I found a complete Jim Beam whiskey barrell about 6 years ago at Wal-Mart in Mount Olive for $30. It came complete with about a gallon of whiskey still inside. Last year the metal straps finally rusted through and I haven't found a replacement since.
So I found my barrel.... finally. Condurso's in Montville still has 3 left. Out of the 4 I got the one in the best condition, but depending on the purpose they could be ok. If they are to be used for rain barrells they will probably need some minor repairs and to be submerged to swell up so they stay watertight. The price was a little more than I expected at $82 but still reasonable.

Canna Flame seeds for trade!!!!
Hey everyone,
I picked my first pod of Canna Flame seeds. I only have enough to trade with a few people right now, but I will have more soon, ( pods on the cannas are ripening).
Canna flame is a medium height canna with large yellow flowers spotted red. It grows true from seeds. It was entered in to the canna internation trial in the Uk last year. I got seeds from my friend Keith Hayward of Hart canna.
Here is a picture of it.
If you are interested in trading canna seeds please e-mail me email@example.com
I have enjoyed your past post here, but regrettable suggest you double check your seedling of C. ÂFlame which was grown in the canna trials in the UK. You will find that C. ÂFlame is a garden hybrid that does NOT breed true or produce offspring true to type. This seedling is not C. ÂFlame and should not be referred to as such. It is only a seedling of that cultivar. I am sorry to point this out.
Regards, Kent
Following your last post, you apparently have another agenda. No question that in the past; all growers have dealt with canna virus along with a multitude of other issues. If you bothered to completely read my old profile you would have seen that I retired from the commercial business over 6 years ago and simply continue to grow a few cannas and occasionally post comments relative to the importance of an issue; I consider important. In your post you mistakenly suggested that your seedling was true to type. This is NEVER the case in typical canna hybrids. Knowledgeable professionals already know this. The canna world is full of misnamed cultivars resulting from this. In some cases it is simply an honest mistake or lack of knowledge and occasionally the individual has other motives.
We all await your phone call inquiry and just for the record, I made the call before my post!
Regards, Kent
Hello Kent.
You have accused me of having another agenda. I don't! However, I could say that you have another agenda also and that maybe you dont want me to trade those seeds.
In addition, why are you awaiting my response? You already made the phone call and have the answers, or else you would not have posted. I made the phone call and I dont have the answers!
Furthermore, no one had the exact information until a few days ago when you saw the picture i posted and then proceeded to make your inquiries. And still there is alot to be questioned.
And Fatbaldguy, your jumping to conclusions and assuming that I am attacking Kent. For you information, I was not. Just inquiring. (You have stated you dont want to have contact with me therefore you should not reply). I am simply clearing up your misconception.
Kent was trying to help you to explain something important.
I do not see he has an agenda. You might apologize to him as what you said is harsh and untrue. Kent helped me in my early days of growing, and I am ever grateful to him. Do not burn bridges with someone from whom you can learn a lot. And I hate to see people 'fall out' over a misunderstanding.
As for seeds of hybrid cannas, as Kent is explaining, they do not grow seedlings true to their parents. It is ok to say that 'Flame' is the pod parent the seeds came from, but also state that any seedlings will not be the parent or called 'Flame', as they will be new hybrids.
I don't know which 'Flame' Keith sent these seeds, but if it is from Chiltern's .. which I thought it was .. this seedling is not that as it has a small orange flower and this seedling does not. An example of how names get confused.
Good to see you all here :-)
Hello Alice,
Just as the Tropical Series grows true from seeds, I was told that canna Flame grows true from seeds. I know the difference between growing true from seeds and hybrid seeds from a pod parent. I dont think I need to apologize to anyone. Kent told me exactly what he wanted to say and as he wanted to say it and I told him back exactly what I thought.
OK, but that 'Flame' is not the true from seed that it is supposed to be. And I do not believe Kent should have been a victim for his input. But ok. We are all entitled to our opinions, as you are to your's, also. And I will not say more.
All best to you :-)
Thanks for your help and the information Alice. It was appreciated. I will think about what you said.
I had reasons for the things I said. This is the end of my posting on this topic also. Its not going anywhere. You are right, we all have different takes on the issue. Whether i am wrong or not, I will know in time ( I have some experimenting to do). I wont be responding to any more posts on this issue.
Thanks for the effort Alice!
For anyone interested in seeing the true C. ÂFlameÂ, they can view it at the link provided;
You will need to open the file in the upper left corner labeled "Trial Photographs". There are at least 4 photos of ÂFlameÂ. As you can see, there is absolute no similarity to the seedling shown in this post. This is the typical result of growing any hybrid canna seed.
Attached is a partial copy of the email I received from Keith Hayward who conducted the trials.
"Kent; Siam's picture on Garden Web shows that Flame doesn't come true from seed.
I sent him seed collected from my Flame, which is mostly red/orange blotches with yellow edges to the petal."

The provincial government is raking in roughly $12 million a month from its tax on legal services but spending only slightly more than half that on legal aid.
In response to a freedom of information request from an unidentified law firm, Victoria provided for the first time collection data on the seven-per-cent tax.
It said the money collected for all of 2009 (the last complete year before the introduction of the HST) totalled $144.8 million.
For nine months in 2013 — from April, when the PST was reintroduced, through December — it reported reaping $116.4 million.
In January and for parts of February this year, the ministry of finance continued collecting apace, scooping up $14 million.
The numbers sparked an angry outburst from B.C. lawyers, who have complained about the controversial levy since its introduction two decades ago by the NDP.
The bar is upset that both the province's political parties have used the levy to siphon money into general revenue rather than earmarking the funds collected by lawyers for much-needed legal aid and other justice-related services.
They find it particularly galling the government is raking in more than $140 million a year while spending only about $80 million on legal aid when the courts are clotted with the unrepresented and there is a recognized need for more services to help the disadvantaged.
Moreover, the B.C. Chamber of Commerce produced a report some years ago showing the tithe is a drag on the economy.
"With the HST gone, the provincial tax on legal fees again has the legal profession singled out as the lone profession taxed in this manner," fumed Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. spokesman Bentley Doyle.
"The tax money should be devoted to legal aid for citizens. It is paid by citizens. This is a big part of the problem, especially in the post-HST era."
The tax was introduced in 1992 by finance minister of the day Glen Clark, who implied the money would be used to fund legal aid.
That turned out to be silver-tongued sophistry rather than a cast-in-stone commitment: The money was never designated to support legal aid.
The Opposition Liberals throughout the 1990s loudly complained about the situation, insisting the tax should be specifically labelled for legal services.
However, when they gained office in 2001 they did not change the policy, arguing times were tight, and instead slashed legal aid spending by 40 per cent.
"While I criticized the former government for failing to keep the political promise it made when it introduced the tax — to spend the money on legal aid services — during five years as opposition justice critic I never once said if we became government we would dedicate the revenue stream," former attorney general Geoff Plant said.
"Nor did I ever promise to maintain legal aid funding."
As a result, the levy has remained a nasty, stinging burr under the bar's saddle.
The trial lawyers staged an unsuccessful 18-month service withdrawal that ended last summer, aimed at increasing legal aid funding by rerouting the tax from general revenue.
Lawyers will renew that demonstration next month in an effort to pressure the Liberals into spend more on legal aid.
These numbers will fuel that fight by bolstering their resolve and buttressing their argument that Victoria is using the legal profession as a cash cow while the system becomes more and more threadbare.

Changes could come next month
The NFL is planning to toughen standards in cases of domestic violence soon, according to a source with knowledge of the process, and is making it a priority by soliciting advice from experts in the field about a wholesale overhaul of its policy and practices.
News that the league was considering a policy change was first reported by The Washington Post.
More from ESPN.com
Roger Goodell should relinquish disciplinary duties in the wake of the Ray Rice suspension fallout, writes Dan Graziano. Story
Another day, another missed opportunity. By harping on consistency of punishments, Roger Goodell again missed a golden opportunity to stand in front of the cameras and tell the world how seriously the NFL takes domestic violence, writes Kate Fagan. Story
The source confirmed that changes are imminent and expanded on that by saying the NFL is consulting with outside groups to revamp its approach on everything from education, training, assistance and enhanced discipline, which likely would be formally included in the personal conduct policy.
The league plans to move quickly on announcing and implementing the changes, possibly as early as next month.
In February, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was arrested for assaulting his then-fiancee. Soon after, a surveillance video from an Atlantic City casino was leaked that showed Rice pulling an apparently unconscious Janay Palmer from an elevator. The two have since married.
Rice entered a program for first-time offenders, which will allow him to avoid trial as long as he completes the requirements.
In July, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued a two-game suspension to Rice, which outraged many fans and drew the attention of congressional representatives and even Maine governor Paul LePage, who wrote a letter threatening to boycott the league.
The response to the Rice suspension was eye-opening.
Rice spoke from the Ravens' training camp and apologized to his wife, and said after his own treatment process he plans to become involved in the issue of domestic violence and work with groups to raise awareness.
The NFL didn't have a formal policy on domestic violence specifically, although it has human resource programs for rookies that include an awareness component on the issue. Unlike recreational and performance-enhancing drugs, domestic violence hasn't been written into the collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association.
The league could still choose to involve the players' association, but given the contentious nature of some negotiations, that likely would extend the process. The league has not contacted the players about any proposed changes, according to another source.

Fez for Sock Monkey
PatSeptember 10, 2001
Has anyone made a fez for a sock monkey? I have some felt- and have searched high and low for some directions - but can't find any - have found many sites with sock monkey directions - and they all mention a fez can be used instead of a cap - but no directions!! Can anyone help?? Thanks!
Pat - If you're adventurous, take a look at the site below. It tells how to make a fez for a man, but the instructions tell how to make it for any size. Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Fez Pattern and Instructions
