Commercial dishwashers consume a lot of energy and water. When faced with rising utility and food costs, restaurant owners, especially new restaurant owners, try to save money any way they can. One way to save money on dishwashing is to purchase a used commercial dishwasher. There are several benefits to buying a used commercial dishwasher, but you need to do research before buying.
Purchasing Tips
When shopping for a used commercial dishwasher, there are several things that you want to check out with the particular unit before you decide to spend your money.
Thoroughly inspect the unit. Inspecting the unit in person will be hard if you're shopping online or at a restaurant equipment auction, but it is still highly recommended. The best case scenario is to go to a used equipment dealer with a showroom. Either way, be sure to check that the spray arm nozzles aren't clogged and rotate freely.
Look for signs of corrosion. Even with online photos, you should be able to see if the stainless steel is discolored or corroded. This is a sign that the machine has not been well-maintained and could indicate future service issues, so stay away from units that show signs of corrosion.
Call the manufacturer with any questions. The manufacturer is your best source for machine-specific questions. They can tell you what may go wrong with the used dishwasher and how much repairs can cost. The used equipment salesperson may not volunteer information that could lose them the sale.
Is it Safe to Buy a Used Commercial Dishwasher?
As long as the machine was well maintained, you should be alright with purchasing a used commercial dishwasher. However, the older the model, the more likely it is to leak water or not be as efficient at cleaning dishes, so try to find the newest model possible.
Benefits of Buying a New Commercial Dishwasher
The bottom line is that new commercial dishwashers are far superior to used. They may cost more initially, but they are more reliable and usually more energy efficient than used models. Whatever extra money you spend in purchase price, you'll most likely recoup in energy savings and lack of repairs. Here are a few more benefits to buying new:
Green Incentives. Since you're going with new, you might as well look for the best of the best in energy efficiency. There are a number of ENERGY STAR® rated commercial dishwashers that use less water and electricity than their non-rated counterparts. Your local utilities company may even offer rebates for going the energy efficient route, so be sure to check into that.
Efficiency. Along with reliability comes better efficiency, because nothing is worn out and everything is at its peak working level. Furthermore, new commercial dishwashers are more efficient than used because of technological improvements, like better spray patterns from the nozzles, that make newer models superior to older ones.
Capacity. The number of racks per hour is the most important specification on a commercial dishwasher, because it tells you how many dishes the machine can wash in an hour. You might not be able to find a used machine that suits your capacity requirements. On the other hand, you will always be able to find a new commercial dishwasher that can keep up with the demands of your kitchen.

Of course, every female would respond that she would be monogamous, which is amusing considering how many women I know who cheat on their SO's…
Ah, life's little ironies…
I can see why you would feel that females cheat. What I think is: most PEOPLE cheat. Men tend to feel less guilty when they are young or be more upfront about it as they mature; and may not even consider it cheating because for a long time it's been socially acceptable in most cultures for a man to have women on the side. Although in the past it was mostly understood and not so much agreed to out loud…and perhaps historically it was only accepted for men of certain status, power or class.
Women on the otherhand, historically have never been appreciated for saying that they wanted an open relationship (except for maybe the 70s and early 80s). So women who would prefer open relationships tend to try to conform insomuch as they lie about being monogamous (which they think they need to do) or they involve themselves in a comitted relationship (which they think they're supposed to do) then cheat.
That's why as crazy as the poster who railed on about feminism sounded, he was right about one thing. Women want to be able to do what men do and not apologize for it (which it why you will get unapologetic cheaters) they know men have been doing it for centuries.
Not that two wrongs make a right. I think that was what he would have pointed out if he were normal. Instead, I think he was pissed off that men couldn't do whatever they wanted without women wanting to do the same thing…which of course, is troll-like and no longer realistic.
You guys in college probably think I'm nuts, and think that women at uni hold a lot of power — and that's confusing. But as I said in earlier posts, campus is a freer place for women, where non-traditional ideas can be exchanged and acted upon with less judgement…THEORETICALLY. After being at uni a few years, many women realise that the guys they want don't appreciate women who sleep around. The same way men realise that the women they want don't appreciate men who sleep around. This is why cheating on monogamous relationships exists: trying to get a person who doesn't appreciate an open relationship to be in a relationship with you and then finding out later that you still need that back door…
This is not making excuses for women or men. The point is here that women feel less comfortable about being upfront about monogamy and openness than say, you do CA. The madonna/whore complex is not just a catchy phrase — women deal with this imposition their entire lives. Which is why you would see them as liars.
As you also know CA, you are unique amongst men, and amongst people, in that you are honest and an open book. Many men don't have the confidence or arrogance or however you'd like to put it to be that up front — so they resort to cheating too.
This unfortunately ruins it for honest people like you and me. I am honest about my monogamy, you are honest about your openness. Maybe as traditional society begins to accept that people will date and have sex with several people first without necessarily getting married — a lot of the need for the lying and secrecy will die down. Who knows? Probably not…
But at least you and I can seek out other honest souls and find out what they really think before taking the plunge.
The modernization of "casual sex" has really bothered me. As a traditionalist, the concept of serial monogamy is dying. I'm scared to think of what relationshits will be like years from now. Since the sexual revolution and the acceptance of casual sex, it has removed the ideology of sex with love, and to an even greater scale, marriage.
Both men and women are liable to cheat equally, but in different ways. The way I see it, most women NEED closure. They need that someone to talk to. That sets the ball rolling for cheating (emotional affair to possible sexual affair). Women can be the most caniving bitches around. If a woman is in a relationshit with a man, she should only talk about personal self disclosing topics with him. Talking about it with others will eventually lead to cheating. This really challenges the notion of males and females being friends when they're attached. That's a whole nother topic that I could write a book on.
As for me, when I was in a relationshit, sure I would always be tempted. But I would never PUSH the communication as a way to not excaberate the situation. What's the best way to beat temptation to cheat? Just walk away from it. It was hard, but for my girls at the time, I did what I would want done to me. After all, why would I be with them if I was going to cheat.
As for cheating for cheating's sake, cheating really disgusts me. I've seen even the most "good" girls cheat on their mans. Some people are all talk but never actually practice what they preach. We all need strength in battling temptation.
Sex and love/marriage is a lost concept. Instead of sex for love, sex is for instinct/itchyness/horniness. Hopefully the two variables can come together again.
yes u are right
Now now Charity, you left out the part where I stated that my mother, my grandmother, and a couple of my friends cheated on their SOs. :D
I'm not denying the fact that men cheat…but as you said, it is more common and in a sense more accepted (not to be confused with acceptable) that they do it. And feminism has more than its share of issues.
My personal fave is International Women's Day…one day a year dedicated to observing women…so, by contrast, the other 364 days (365 in a leap year) must consequently be International Men's Day (and I think it's about damn time women recognized that fact :D). But I digress.
Feminism started out as a push for equality (and from thence forth for me will be referred to the Equal Rights Movement, or ERM), and then became so many branches that decided to push beyond equality (and subsequently the chauvinist backlash came about). However, the one problem with the ERM is that it was strictly limited to the benefits and not the penalties…case in point, you didn't see members of the ERM pushing to get Karla Homolka locked away in jail forever when it turned out that she was a willing participant in three of the most brutal sex torture/murders in Canadian history…in fact, Women's Groups paid for her bloody lawyer.
My point however is that ERM sought out sexual liberation and freedom, the right for women to have multiple partners without being labelled for it, and to some degree this has happened (though not to the degree that it should), but it did not seek out the right to commit adultery. In fact, adultery has been around forever, on both sides…men are just stupid enough to be caught at it more frequently. But if you look back in history, there are constant examples of women having their lovers execute their husbands. In one example, this was done by ramming a red hot poker up the bum of one so there weren't any scars…well, noticeable scars.
This is not to say that I see women as liars at all. In fact, I don't think I've ever suggested anything derogatory in a general sense, but this is how I see things. And I'm not judging it one way or another (except for radical feminism…as far as I'm concerned there is never a wall and a hail of bullets when you desperately need one)…everyone is responsible for their own actions, and I don't think cheating per se is right for anyone regardless of gender (outside of my specific example). People do it, and just like women who want to have multiple partners, bully for them.
Yet let's take a look at the traditional views that Mike has. While everyone wants their sexual liberation, it comes at a cost, and that cost is the risk of life and limb. Monogamy is not just an issue of respect anymore, but an issue of health as well, and traditional values such as saving yourself for marriage are starting to make a comeback…and not just for women. I actually know a couple of guys who are saving themselves (although part of that might be an inability to get laid, or having access to the internet and Vaseline), as well as two women. The risk seems to outweight the benefits, especially with the cost of vibrators and internet access going down. :D
All in all, cheating is not a gender specific action. The uncommon/unspoken nature of it among women however has led to the backlash against the non-apologists, who, admittedly, may not need to apologize for being a cheater, but should at least feel some remorse for hurting their partner.
Wow…I have no idea if this makes any sense at all whatsoever…I gotta start getting sleep.
Hey Mike —
I think a lot of people share your concern about casual sex. I think that there's a population of younger people who tend to be more idealistic about sex and love, while there's another population who think that youth is for "sampling" and there's another population who's trying to find some kind of balance between the two.
My only gripe with traditionalists is not that sex should be an expression of love, but that they can be unrealistic in assuming that everyone does or should have the same goals when it comes to love and sex — and therefore label people who don't share the same ideas. I do not think that traditional ideas about sex, love and marriage are wrong. In fact, I see myself more as a traditionalist than not. But just the mere fact that I think it is ok for people who love each other and are comitted to each other to have sex before marriage would be an issue with some traditionalists — and so I don't label myself as such.
My serial monogamy is due to the fact that I think that physical interaction for me is only an expression of love — and that's what I want it to be. Even though I believe this, I do not fear for society and the state of casual sex because I know there are many others like me, and not everyone has to believe the same thing for a "tradition" to be carried on…
So I'm not saying that sex should be casual. I'm just saying that I appreciate the fact that there are people out there who want sex to be something other than an expression of love — and I can't expect them to be tied to the same expectations of a relationship that I would have. Neither would I want to be in a relationship with those people, because I would want the person that I am in a relationship with to have similar expectations. The problem comes when one of those people wants to be in a relationship with me, and then lies about what they believe because it is the only way I would date them.
That being said — if everyone were more accepting of people who think/act differently, I think people would lie less about how they think and act, and like-minded people would be able to find each other more easily and without any stigma. Does that make sense?
I dunno, maybe it's wishful thinking. Maybe people who lie and cheat are always going to lie and cheat — no matter what other people do or do not think of them. And cheaters would rather be with loyal people because no one likes being cheated on — even cheaters — so they will gravitate toward people who do not share their multiple partner views anyway. That's possible too. But I still think that women lie about it more than say men do because in this day and age most people still do not accept women who want more than one partner.
However, the one problem with the ERM is that it was strictly limited to the benefits and not the penalties…case in point, you didn't see members of the ERM pushing to get Karla Homolka locked away in jail forever when it turned out that she was a willing participant in three of the most brutal sex torture/murders in Canadian history…in fact, Women's Groups paid for her bloody lawyer.
I don't know this particular reference to Canadian history…however, in America, when an ERM type organization pays for lawyers for a member of their particular community that commits a crime (say the NAACP for a black person or NOW for a woman) it is not to show support for that person committing a crime, it is to ensure that the minority in particular receive a FAIR TRIAL.
No matter how heinous the crime, it is possible for a minority or a woman to be judged more harshly than a white man for committing the same crime. It is unsightly and shocking for a woman to commit such a crime — thus making the crime so famous in the first place. I'm guessing that Karla Homolka wasn't famous before these crimes, so we're not talking about an OJ Simpson type infamy. Were the murders famous before her capture? Or did they get more press after it was found out that they were committed by a woman? In America, the famous "murderess" is Lizzie Borden.
Hey CA —
I left out the part about your family because I was starting a new topic and didn't know if you would appreciate that being part of the focus, when the topic was really about whether or why women lie about multiple partners, when they all say that they would be monogamous — while men like you are open about considering affairs outside the relationship.
"My point however is that ERM sought out sexual liberation and freedom, the right for women to have multiple partners without being labelled for it, and to some degree this has happened (though not to the degree that it should), but it did not seek out the right to commit adultery…
All in all, cheating is not a gender specific action. The uncommon/unspoken nature of it among women however has led to the backlash against the non-apologists, who, admittedly, may not need to apologize for being a cheater, but should at least feel some remorse for hurting their partner…
I think the non-apologist females are a backlash to a long history of non-apology or social acceptance of male cheating. I don't think it is right on either side. Nor do I think feminists expect to have a "right" to commit adultery. I do not think it is the true and open feminists who commit adultery in the first place. Women who to some extent are in the closet about their want for sexual liberation find themselves in a position to have to lie and cheat — otherwise they would just be open about it in the first place.
I do think terms are getting confused — having multiple partners is not necessarily cheating. It's just that men are not considered sluts for having them and women still are — so they are more likely to lie about it. Not to be stigmatized or considered untouchable, it is easier for a woman judgement-wise to perpetrate being monogamous and then cheat and lie to have multiple partners rather than simply say that she prefers to have no relationship and multiple partners, or even a relationship that is an "open" one.
And women have cheated throughout history too. The point is not whether or not any women cheated throughout history. It's that for the most part, historically, women were punished or judged harshly for such actions.
At the same time women were being punished, it was understood for men either that it's part of the culture if they cheat; or that they not even be considered "cheaters," but simply men who have multiple partners and a wife. The most powerful and famous men in North American and European history had wives AND mistresses or notorious dalliances with servants and/or prostitutes, yet this did not diminish their fame or position: Kings, Presidents, Generals, Bishops, a Pope, Ambassadors…the list goes on and on.
Women on the other hand would be, depending upon the culture: stoned, beheaded, imprisoned, disowned, forfeit their right to home and property, publicly shamed, etc. etc. In some countries it is still legal to beat your wife if she cheats. Those laws have still not been taken off the books. I do not know of any men who were imprisoned, stoned or forced to wear a scarlet letter for adultery — but I could be wrong. If you know of an example, let me know…
Although women are no longer publicly flogged in the US and Canada for being sexually promiscuous, there is still a double standard. Men are supposed to have experience. Women are considered sluts. Hence, the likelihood to hide the desire to experiment with new people.
Side note: I find it interesting that it is after the sexual revolution and the ERM that we are finally starting to hold political candidates responsible for their sexual practices. Why did the press look the other way in the 60s for Kennedy, but not for Gary Hart (whose presidential campaign was cut short) in the 90s? Is it a backlash to the sexual revolution? Or now that there is equality and open relationships are available, are people being held accountable for lying? Or a little of both…?
women want what their men cant give anymore intimacy…thats where the thrill lies
i believe in that not all men are the same not all of them cheat. i dont think that it also has to do with intimacy or monogamy or any type of wood *joke* but what i have gotten from my research in puerto rico men dont cheat unless they have been treated real bad by the only girl they have truly cared for. then other women pay for that girls broken plates. but in women in PR there is a problem with obsession. true nymphos and since they become so blind and dumb they think that men are all the same they are just here and one thing only. sex. if we find the real reason why women cant find a good man its because we push them too hard and later on close them in a box that all they see is you and they get sick men need space as much as any women.
women cheating well there are some women that want to play with hearts. or some just feel insecure. some just feel that more men feels like shes wanted. thats monogamy is no good for those types. but some of them just feel intimidated at the thought of monogamy that when their guy finally admits to having a monagamos relationshit they run to another.
according to this pole it's about 50/50 between men and women who cheat, so what's the difference anway?
Cool post, I will be sure to recommend to friends!
You know what. Men who cheat are assholes, same with women who cheat. There's only one thing worse than cheating, and that's cheating and trying to blame it on something else.
That's why the idea that "it's ok for men to cheat because they've done it for centuries" pisses me off. That's just bullshit cheater talk, trying to justify something that simply cannot be justified. Same thing for women thinking that they are "getting back at men because they cheated for centuries" when they cheat. It's something a shitty person does. Period.

GIPSIES LOSE 'HUMAN RIGHTS' BID OVER SITE; Councils Welcome Court Ruling
Byline: By LUCY THORNTON
A GIPSY family yesterday lost a court battle to prove they had a "human right" to squat on a public playing field.
Seven Law Lords unanimously ruled that they could never have considered the council-owned land their home.
The verdict was "a huge relief for councils everywhere", said the Local Government Association.
Councils feared a win for the family - who got up to pounds 60,000 legal aid to fight the case - could have halted attempts to evict travellers camping illegally.
Richard Bennett, chairman of the LGA gipsy and traveller task group, said: "They would have been free to turn any public land into a home, including city centre car parks and school playing fields."
Leeds city council, at the centre of the case, said it was "extremely good news". Spokesman Les Carter said: "It upholds our right to take swift action to regain possession of our land."
He called for greater powers for councils to stamp out the problem, which cost Leeds pounds 250,000 a year. The Maloney family moved on to the field in Wakefield in June 2004.
Leeds city council got a court order to evict them but the family appealed, claiming it broke the European Convention on respect for family life and home. …

A groundbreaking book providing a new take on three of cosmology#x19;s most profound questions: What, if anything, came before the Big Bang? What is the source of order in our universe? What is the universe#x19;s ultimate future? Current understanding of our universe dictates that all matter will eventually thin out to zero density, with huge black holes finally evaporating away into massless energy. Roger Penrose-one of the most innovative mathematicians of our time-turns around this predominant picture of the universe#x19;s #x1C;heat death,#x1D; arguing how the expected ultimate fate of our accelerating, expanding universe can actually be reinterpreted as the #x1C;Big Bang#x1D; of a new one. Along the way to this remarkable cosmological picture, Penrose sheds new light on basic principles that underlie the behavior of our universe, describing various standard and nonstandard cosmological models, the fundamental role of the cosmic microwave background, and the key status of black holes. Intellectually thrilling and accessible, Cycles of Timeis another essential guide to the universe from one of our preeminent thinkers. From the Hardcover edition.

Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Matt Kloskowski. Matt is the author of "Photoshop Compositing Secrets," a new book that demonstrates some excellent techniques to help you create better and more realistic Photoshop compositions.

February 03, 2012
The presidents of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia have met in the Bosnian ski resort of Jahorina to discuss ways of fighting the organized crime that plagues their region.
Zeljko Komsic, the current chairman of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, said cooperation in the fight against organized crime is of "particular interest to three countries."
The three leaders were also expected to discuss their nations gaining access to European Union funds for use in buidling regional cooperation and a change of border procedures after Croatia joins the European Union in 2013.
Serbia and Bosnia also have EU membership aspirations but they have yet to obtain membership-candidate status.

In general, it's better to do a single query vs. many queries for a given object. Let's say I have a bunch of 'son' objects each with a 'father'. I get all the 'son' objects:
sons = Son.all()
Then, I'd like to get all the fathers for that group of sons. I do:
father_keys = {}
for son in sons:
father_keys.setdefault(son.father.key(), None)
Then I can do:
fathers = Father.get(father_keys.keys())
Now, this assumes that son.father.key() doesn't actually go fetch the object. Am I wrong on this? I have a bunch of code that assumes the object.related_object.key() doesn't actually fetch related_object from the datastore.
Am I doing this right?

Lost Nation Theater, Council on Aging partneringFebruary 15,2014
Council on Aging, theater partnering
MONTPELIER The Central Vermont Council on Aging is partnering with Lost Nation Theater on its 2014 Winterfest production of Intake, an award-winning play that speaks on the problems and challenges of getting older.
Remaining performances are today at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. at the wheelchair-accessible Montpelier City Hall Arts Center. For information on tickets, call the box office at 229-0492.
Council staff members will be available at each show to shed light on and answer questions about the variety of services provided to seniors around central Vermont.
Intake was written by Marshfield playwright Margot Lasher and was honored with the 2013 Vermont Playwrights Award. The play largely explores the interactions between an 82-year-old woman and an inexperienced psychiatrist searching for signs of dementia. As the play goes on, the doctor realizes that his judgments of the woman and the aging process in general were erroneous.MORE IN This Just InThe National Retail Federation, based in Washington, D.C., recently named Rep.Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Eagle & Beagle: SandRidge Mississippian Trust I closes week strong
Eagle & Beagle
We like our portfolios to mature like a pie baking — a steady progression that ends with a delightful treat.
Too hot and the crust chars; too cool and the middle is underdone.
But individual stocks often take a varied course, wavering and wobbling to and fro. But that method also can produce a sweet result.
The benchmark Dow fell more than 200 points Wednesday, closing below 15,000 for the first time in a month. On Friday, the Dow logged its best day in five months, adding more than 200 points. The blue-chip index ended the week up 0.9 percent.
Our eagle also steered a crooked course to its 7.4 percent gain. SandRidge Mississippian Trust I slipped a couple of days, but opened and closed the week strongly.
The morale: The pie may not always be cooked the way you want it, but what matters is how it tastes.
Enough with the half-baked metaphors.
Our worst-performing state-based stock last week was Tulsa-based AAON Inc., which makes and sells commercial heating and air-conditioning equipment.
AAON shares fell 4.3 percent last week. More impressive — and more significant — was that modest loss ended a five-week winning streak for AAON investors.
Since mid-April, the shares (current price: $31.82) have grown more than $4. And the stock sits not far off its 52-week high.
Meanwhile, the company declared a 3-for-2 stock split that will paid out next month in the form of a dividend and announced that its semiannual dividend will increase 25 percent to 10 cents.
Eagle & Beagle is a weekly look at the state's high-performing (eagle) and low-performing (beagle) by Business Editor Don Mecoy.

Peter Swanson
Name: Peter Swanson
Age: 35
Profession: Filmmaker. After fleeing southern Illinois, flirting with unemployment in St. Louis, and spending four years working at a Catholic Charities group home in Minneapolis, Swanson now devotes himself full-time to his filmmaking. "It's like playing God, rearranging time and space," he says. Swanson's natural instincts and a degree in cinema art have helped spin his films into Warholian cult classics. Occasional showings of the campy, horrorfest Liz's Picnic still draw fans to cable access. The Last Musical in Sodom premiered at Walker Art Center, Blood Club debuted at First Avenue, and three films will be released on local TV channels this month.
Type of closet: Streamlined-functional from the Art Deco age. "This apartment building is named after Norma Shearer's film Marie Antoinette, because it was completed in 1938, the same year the movie came out."
Closet dimensions: 9' x 4' x 2'
Occupancy: Multiple personalities. Swanson shares digs with his partner of six years, an accomplished harpsichordist. Like Hitchcock, Swanson's companion always puts in an appearance on film. "Here's the pastor's cassock he wore in Lutheran Possession Head Horror," Swanson announces, pulling a black robe from the inner depths. What about that robe with the fake blood? "That belonged to the pastor's wife."
Average usage: "Brief flashes of time . . . seconds, really. Of course, I have to move my computer chair to open the door, so it's a deliberate choice to go into the closet. But throughout the day I'm always throwing something in or pulling something out."
Color: Gauze ("Bride of Frankenstein gauze," adds Swanson.)
Organizational style: Cinematic. Props and costumes from films past and present jostle with mundane and sub-lunar attire. "This dress is for Liz vs. Space, the final chapter of my trilogy," says Swanson, fondling a bilious green confection. And among the cable-knits and flannels hangs a poster of Raquel Welch from One Million Years, B.C. "Now that cave girl knows how to dress--she's wearing a fur that can eat."
Most recent acquisition: A black T-shirt emblazoned with a full-color Godzilla breathing fire on downtown Tokyo. "The real Godzilla," says Swanson. "Not that knobby, scaly, pop-eyed dreck in the current movie."
Future yard-sale bargain: Swanson maintains a Bizarro-world relationship with yard-sales. "Everything in my closet is a yard-sale bargain. That's where I do most of my shopping."
Comment: "In the age of video, you can be broke and still make a film."

For the second time in three days some residents of North Overlook Drive in Greenville awoke to burning cars.
Authorities say an East Carolina University professor is the target of what they're calling arson. The first car that was set on fire; however, was actually a student's car.
Whoever did it painted this message on their sidewalk: "wrong house, sorry."
Two days later the car of the targeted ECU professor was set on fire. Greenville police are working with Greenville Fire and Rescue on this case.
Neither a motive nor a suspect in this case has been determined.

Keith Bearden and Dustin Ingram are pretty silly guys. Both had an abundance to offer when it came to discussing the ins and outs of the filmmaking process, but
If this plot seems familiar, thats because its been done before, and the characters dont do much to break-out of stereotype (the strict, nagging girlfriend; the wild spirit girl who embraces youth; and the ruffle-no-feathers boy stuck in the middle)
We talked about the challenges of filming on location in rural upstate New York, how to tackle those tricky class differences between the two towns, and getting yourself pumped up for intense acting scenes
In the spirit of An Inconvenient Truth, documentarian Brian Hill has created Climate of Change, a film that covers four continents examining individuals
I thought it was particularly interesting to hear Shapiro talk about how his documentary filmmaking experience affected making his first
Given its dark subject matter and very, very slow pace, Lola seems like a pretty unlikely contender for theatrical release, but would do well at other festivals where audiences are up for the punishment and rewards of tiny foreign films
It has been 15 years since Rwanda was torn apart by a horrific genocide, and though the country has recovered remarkably well, old wounds still run throughout the country
Theres nothing wrong with an old man flying his house to Paradise Falls via balloon, but it likely (and hopefully) wont inspire anyone to do the same. Metropias fictional telling
Van? Check. Location? Check. Masks? Check. Gun? Check. Vic and Danny had it all planned out. Kidnap a young woman, hold her for ransom and take off with the loot. But all that changed when they opted to take Alice Creed
Call me a prude, call me a cynic, but I was so not convinced by this film's arguments about true love and eroticism and whatever other pie-eyed nonsense they were throwing at me
Going into the Tribeca Film Festival, I was under the impression that Michael Winterbottoms The Killer Inside Me would be considered the most brutal film being shown. While that still may be the case, Andrew Paquins Open House certainly gives it a run for its money.
Zoe Vision and Banger Films have announced that Beyond the Lighted Stage will hit theaters in June, with exact cities and dates to be announced later. The band will also be kicking off a 40-city tour at the end of that month
Planet Earth is suffering. From deforestation in Africa and strip mining in Appalachia, to those simply too lazy to recycle empty soda bottles, businesses and individuals are constantly wasting precious natural resources and polluting the air with carbon dioxide and other emissions. Fortunately, there are people trying to do something about it.
Its silly but not stupid and it doesnt have a deep meaning, but undoubtedly conjures up some serious emotion. See Meet Monica Velour to get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside not the dirty kind.
The wonderful thing about My Brothers isn't just that the family relationship worked, but is the linchpin of Fraser's tender and lovely film. Last week I talked to Fraser and his three lead actors
Taking place in a blank kind of American Anywhere, between two nearby towns rife with class tensions, Meskada has a few good ideas marred by any number of mistakes
There are very few things worth risking your life for. Initially, BMX riders were in danger of breaking a bone or suffering a concussion
When walking into a film directed by Jeff Tremaine and produced by Johnny Knoxville, you expect to get something shocking and gruesome a la Jackass, but this isn't the case with Birth of Big Air
William Vincent, played by James Franco, is a mystery. When we are first introduced to his character, he is riding a bus from San Francisco to New York after just missing a plane to Tokyo
Films about decent men tempted to stray by beautiful strangers are nothing new, and neither are stories about love and lust in the big city, but the same old themes get a nice modern spin in Monogamy

It's a story that has gained national attention for two years: the case of Marine Corporal Cesar Laurean who sits in a jail charged with the death of his pregnant fellow Marine.
Laurean is charged with the brutal murder of Lance Corporal Maria Lauterbach, who authorities found burned and buried in Laurean's backyard in 2007.
The case for now is at a standstill as the state and defense pour over the 6,000 pages of evidence as well as disks to prepare for trial a trial both parties expect could take place as early as next spring.
We asked both the District Attorney and Laurean's Attorney, Dick McNeil, if they thought this case could come down to a plea deal where Laurean could receive less jail time.
Only about 3 percent of cases go to trial each year in our state.

Plasma Users Group Takes Stand on Health Reform and Medicare
The American Plasma Users Coalition (A-PLUS) comprises patient advocacy groups representing people with hemophilia, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and other conditions who rely on plasma-based products to remain healthy. NHF is a founding member of the group, which formed a few years ago to coordinate advocacy related to health reform. We continue to meet regularly to discuss health reform implementation, and other federal and state issues that affect our communities. For example, last month:
• A-PLUS drafted principles outlining our priorities regarding essential health benefits, services that all health insurance plans offered in the exchange must cover. The principles focus on the need for individuals to have access to specialists, the full range of therapies and all appropriate sites of care. A-PLUS will use these principles to evaluate and comment on essential health benefits regulations and in advocacy with Congress and the administration. The principles are available here.
• A-PLUS sent a letter to the Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, the so-called "Super Committee" that is charged with recommending policies to reduce federal deficits this fall. Our letter focused on three issues that are rumored to be under consideration by the committee: reclassification of treatments currently covered in Medicare Part B into Part D; reduction of Medicare Part B reimbursement from Average Sales Price (ASP) +6% and a proposal to eliminate first-dollar coverage in Medigap insurance policies. We oppose each proposal and described the negative effects that these policies would have on our community. The letter is availablehere. To learn more about the Super Committee, click here.

By Rocco Morales

Promoter Dan Goossen is shooting for Las Vegas or Oakland as the site. Taylor is not being taken lightly by the Ward Camp, as they believe he was competitive for eleven rounds in both the Froch and Abraham fights, although they have noted (but will not divulge) a certain weakness in Taylor which Ward plans to exploit. "Taylor's problem was that he stopped improving following winning the title," said Ward. "I will not repeat this mistake and will fight to continue improving and to stay champion."

Fightwriter: Jones-Green
By Graham Houston
Forward planning is nothing new in the fight game. Roy Jones Jr. has a plan. It is to give Danny Green a boxing lesson in Australia on Wednesday and then meet old rival Bernard Hopkins in a "rematch of the legends" fight in 2010. Hopkins is expected to coast home in his tune-up fight against Enrique Ornelas on the Versus Network on Wednesday, and same-day coverage of Jones-Green will be part of the show. It is a perfect way to lead into a Jones-Hopkins megafight. There's just one small problem. Green might not be the pushover that I suspect Jones believes him to be . . . Click here for more

Wright-Brewer clash off
Amid conflicting reports regarding reasons for the cancellation of the Winky Wright vs. Grady Brewer Pay-Per-View show scheduled for December 11, Winky Wright has issued the following statement. "I am really disappointed the show can't happen as I was training very hard and really wanted to get back in the ring. I was so looking forward to fighting in Puerto Rico in front of all the Puerto Rican people who are boxing fanatics and really know and appreciate the sport. I still am a bit shocked the show was cancelled by the promoter in Puerto Rico, but I want to make it perfectly clear it was not because I asked for millions of dollars to fight. We had done everything possible to make this show come together and I knew the financial considerations I needed to make in order for it to happen. Unfortunately now this is not the case, and I will look to find another alternative so I can fight as soon as possible. I hope that we can work something out so that I will be fighting in the early part of 2010, as I am anxious to use all the hard work and training I have already put in for this show. I just hope everyone has a great holiday season, and look for me to fight again soon after the New Year."

Jones: Green is no Lacy
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. admits he is expecting a much tougher fight on Wednesday against IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green than he got when he easily defeated former IBF 168 pound champion Jeff Lacy in August. "It's a bigger guy coming at me, a stronger guy, a much quicker guy," Jones stated. "Jeff Lacy was just a kid who really didn't have an idea what he got himself into, so that was more child abuse."
Green, meanwhile, thinks that he has been given no chance of winning against Jones by many, but plans to prove them all wrong when he steps into the ring on Wednesday at the Acer arena, Homebush, Sydney, NSW, Australia with a expected live gate of 20,000 and a global television audience. "Do I think he's underestimated me? Yes. I think everyone's underestimated me," commented Green.

Ikehara upsets #13 Yamaguchi
By Joe Koizumi
JBC#3 hard-punching flyweight prospect Shigetaka Ikehara (19-1, 15 KOs), 110.25, decked an upset victory when he started fireworks from the outset, floored WBC#13 formerly three-time world challenger Shingo Yamaguchi (24-7-2, 10 KOs), 110, with a vicious body shot and finally halted him at 2:06 of the third round on Monday in Tokyo, Japan.
It was a sad swan song of Yamaguchi who had failed to win the world belt on three occasions—losing to WBC 108-pound champ Yosam Choi by a tenth round TKO in 2002, to WBA 112-pound ruler Takefumi Sakata by a unanimous nod and to WBC 112-pound kingpin Daisuke Naito by an eleventh round stoppage both in 2008. Miserably Yamaguchi, handled by ex-WBA champ Katsuo Tokashiki, was overpowered by the younger Ikehara all the way, though he attempted to fight back in the second. The third witnessed the underdog Ikehara dig a wicked shot to the midsection to have Yamaguchi kneel down and then furiously swarm over the fading veteran as the fight resumed. The ref mercifully declared a halt to save the loser from further punishment. (more…)

Q&A: Tim Coleman
When Balimore, Maryland native Tim Coleman (16-1-1, 4 KOs) last fought in front of a nationally televised audience he nearly upset unbeaten James De La Rosa back in October of 2008. In fact the ring announcer initially announced Coleman as the winner in error but quickly corrected himself and announced De La Rosa as a close decision winner. Since the loss to De La Rosa, Coleman has strung together two victories including a rematch with veteran Martinus Clay. The two had a draw in 2007 but Coleman won the rematch by way of a wide margin unanimous decision. Coleman will once again get an opportunity in front of a live national audience to show that he's ready for contender status when he takes on former world title challenger Mike Arnaoutis (23-3-2, 10 KOs). The bout will take place this Thursday at the Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom, in New York, New York and will be a scheduled for 12 round main event for the vacant USBA light welterweight title. The Versus network will televise. Fightnews spoke with Coleman as he closed out his training camp. Coleman spoke on his new trainer, dropping down to junior welterweight, and why this fight is a must win for him. (more…)

IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green is confident that he will destroy challenger Roy Jones Jr. when they clash on Wednesday at the Acer Arena, Homebush, Sydney, NSW, Australia. With a capacity attendance of 20,000 fight fans Green has promised not only to defeat Jones but make Jones' first professional fight outside the USA the biggest mistake he has made in his professional career.

I don't want to just defeat Roy Jones Jr. I want to destroy him!"
