Southampton MusicThe Southampton music scene has never been stronger, and with a lot of bands making waves in music scenes across the world, we are proud of the talent that is coming from our city! Now that we are selling tickets for local shows I thought I would bring you some friends of Reskue that we recommend listening to: |
DrawingsDrawings are a three piece progressive Indie / Post Grunge band, having only been a band a short time they have a lot under their belts, with over 30 songs written, a recently released EP and some radio play we expect big things to come from the Drawings camp. However the pop route is not one Drawings seem to want to embark on, with the subject matter of their songs being based on anything from the seven deadly sins to the writings of Richard Dawkins they are well aware that they may not be to everyone's liking and prefer a thoughtful audience that appreciate the honesty of their songs. |
Our Time Down HereOur Time Down Here are a four piece hardcore band and have been friends of Reskue since the beginning, they recently released their second album through Banquet records which has been well received by critics and fans alike, with a 4.5 star review punktastic said : "It's a difficult genre to keep fresh and yet OTDH do it in fine style. The energy and freshness certainly helps, but the fact this album is so good is ultimately down to the fact there are stacks of good songs on here." Their song "Revelations" is a firm fan favourite and even has Reskue in the video, and with a definite growth in both content and delivery the new album "Live, Love, Let Go" is sure to do great things for OTDH. |
Bury TomorrowSouthampton metallers Bury Tomorrow have been winning over metal fans with an intense live show and hard working DIY ethic of constant touring, and it has paid off! They recently released a new album through Basick records and are one of very few U.K. metal bands that seem to be making a dent in the U.S. metal scene, while the U.S. seems to be plagued with cookie cutter bands that all sound the same Bury Tomorrow have come through with their own brand of metal/hardcore crossover taking elements of all of metals sub genres and putting it together to produce a well refined brutally intense sound, and it has started to make people sit up and take notice, Kerrang radio said of BT: "with the guitarist pouring serene vocal lines into tight as hell music while Dani spits out some throat - you'd be forgiven for drawing a parallel to Canada's finest -Alexisonfire...however, Bury Tomorrow are metal and they know it AND metalcore without being american, they are beautiful without being emo and will get to where they so deserve to be" |
Band Of SkullsProbably the most well known musical act to come out of Southampton in recent years. (excluding Craig David!) Band Of Skulls recently shot to fame after their debut single "I Know What I Am" was chosen as one of iTunes singles of the week. The duets and harmonies produced between vocalists Russell and Emma give Band of Skulls a very distinctive sound, and with a new song being featured on the soundtrack for the forthcoming second Twilight film their popularity is set to grow even further. However even with their growing popularity they still have some love for their hometown and play gigs to packed hometown stages in intimate venues every tour. |
KerouacKerouac are a four piece hardcore band with an intense brutal sound, but without being in danger of chugging through songs like so many hardcore bands. Intricate time changes and break downs in all the songs make Kerouacs sound instantly recognizable, and is probably the reason that despite having only recently released their first seven song e.p. and having only played a handful of shows, they have already built up a reputation for a band not to be missed. The live show is where Kerouac really shine, and as the fast paced drumming slows down to just a bassline and Thoms screams it is rare to hear all the lyrics at a show, as fans grab the mic and sing along to every word, check out the e.p. HERE and get yourself to a show. |
Burn The FleetHeaded up by the impressively bearded frontman Andy Convey, Burn The Fleet have been steadily growing into one of Southamptons most talked about bands. With a sound that is guitar driven enough to catch peoples attention but melodic enough to have girls (and boys) singing along at every show they seem to have found a perfect balance to attract a wide fanbase, and with catchy songs and an impressively tight live show you'll be singing along to them in no time. |

Probe Looks Into Pillowtex Collapse
By Brent Felgner -- Home Textiles Today, 5/2/2005 12:00:00 AM
Wilmington, Del. — —
Wilmington, Del. — Pillowtex creditors have launched an investigation into the events leading up to the defunct mill's second bankruptcy and effective liquidation, including the dealings of former CEO David Perdue and a dozen current and former officers and executives.
Among other things, the probe seeks to focus on the relationships between the mill and Oak Tree Capital Management, one of the nation's largest private equity companies, during the 14-month period between the mill's two bankruptcies.
At issue is whether the actions — or inactions — of the mill's directors and executives improperly diminished the recovery values or played to the advantage of one creditors' group over others.
A federal bankruptcy court judge authorized the examination of the management and financial dealings under the sweeping powers of the bankruptcy code, including Rule 2004. It enables the committee of unsecured creditors to conduct wide-ranging discovery and depositions of the individuals and companies named.
It will also seek to determine if Perdue had any conflicts of interest during his eight-month tenure as CEO, including whether he negotiated and received extra bonuses and perks at the same time he was negotiating for the CEO's position at Dollar General.
Purdue left Pillowtex in mid-March, 2003 — with more than three years left on his contract — to become the retailer's chairman and CEO. Several calls left for Perdue at his Dollar General office went unreturned.
"Perdue received certain significant supplemental benefits, in addition to those provided in his employment agreement, for little or no consideration during a time when the Debtors were struggling financially," the creditors' court filing stated. "Perdue also received certain cash payments from the Debtors to offset federal and state taxes payable on stock that he received as part of his signing bonus that effectively became worthless due to the Debtor's poor performance. These reimbursements resulted in a windfall to Perdue," who also kept the worthless stock, gaining a shelter from future capital gains.
Among other things, the probe seeks to uncover the relationship between Oak Tree and Pillowtex, and whether the VC company's interests were accommodated before those of other creditors.
The investigation was unopposed by attorneys for Pillowtex, although they did win a concession limiting the scope of the examination. The creditors must provide 10 days notice and receive court approval to expand the group being investigated.
"(Pillowtex) stated that it didn't believe that there was any basis for a claim of wrongdoing or of other sorts against the officers because of pre-petition activities," offered Pillowtex attorney Richard Hahn, of Debevoise and Plimpton. "We didn't object because the committee fairly has the right and obligation under the bankruptcy code to conduct some sort of investigation of the events leading to the bankruptcy. We don't question that, and we intend to cooperate with any reasonable requests."
The probe will also examine Pillowtex's accounting, sales accrual, trade allowance and sales incentive programs, among other issues.
"I think the fact that the second bankruptcy followed relatively quickly on the heels of the emergence from the first is what raises questions in their minds," Hahn offered. He said he expects a plan to be confirmed for the company by the end of this year.
Pillowtex reorganized and emerged from its first bankruptcy in May 2002, then refiled for Chapter 11 in July 2003, immediately announcing it would liquidate. At the time of its 2002 emergence, Oak Tree became a 20 percent controlling shareholder in the mill in a partial transfer of debt to equity. Three Oak Tree executives became directors of Pillowtex, and led the CEO selection process that brought in Perdue, according to court and Securities and Exchange Commission records.
Pillowtex effectively liquidated under a Section 363 bankruptcy auction in October 2003, in which the consortium GGST, LLC emerged as the successful bidder, paying $121 million for substantially all of the company's assets.
At the time, there was considerable optimism that unsecured creditors would receive substantial recoveries of their pre-petition claims. But nearly 19 months later, there has still been no distribution because of a variety of pending administrative claims, including many from alleged WARN Act violations.
We would love your feedback!

Now where was I?! Oh yes... these shoes are awesome... We must all buy them now... There we go!!
Seriously though, despite the crushing blow to your bank balance I really do believe these pleated death-traps are worth it... You can, quite literally, throw anything on over these suede booties, from an intricate cocktail dress to a t-shirt dress and rest assured in the knowledge that you'll turn heads no matter where you go... And hopefully not becasue you've just lost your balance and toppled down a flight of stairs...! I say get them before they go and add a little feminine flounce to your weaponry...
If you do have any suggestions for sections you'd like to see me add to the blog or well any thoughts at all then please feel free to let me know... I do love me some feedback...
I shall be posting some photos from the trip to Belgium soon including a couple of my favourite holiday purchases (once they're eventually taken) so do stay tuned!!

Elasticity and Phase Behavior of DPPC Membrane Modulated by Cholesterol, Ergosterol, and Ethanol Biophysical Journal, Volume 89, Issue 4, 1 October 2005, Pages 2481-2493 Kara J. Tierney, David E. Block and Marjorie L. Longo Abstract Giant vesicles formed of 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and sterols (cholesterol or ergosterol) in water and water/ethanol solutions have been used to examine the effect of sterol composition and ethanol concentration on the area compressibility modulus (Ka), overall mechanical behavior, vesicle morphology, and induction of lipid alkyl chain interdigitation. Our results from micropipette aspiration suggest that cholesterol and ergosterol impact the order and microstructure of the gel (Lβ′) phase DPPC membrane. At low concentration (10–15mol%) these sterols disrupt the long-range lateral order and fluidize the membrane (Ka∼300mN/m). Then at 18mol%, these sterols participate in the formation of a continuous cohesive liquid-ordered (Lo) phase with a sterol-dependent membrane density (Ka∼750 for DPPC/ergosterol and Ka∼1100mN/m for DPPC/cholesterol). Finally at ∼40mol% both cholesterol and ergosterol impart similar condensation to the membrane (Ka∼1200mN/m). Introduction of ethanol (5–25vol.) results in drops in the magnitude of Ka, which can be substantial, and sometimes individual vesicles with lowered Ka reveal two slopes of tension versus apparent area strain. We postulate that this behavior represents disruption of lipid-sterol intermolecular interactions and therefore the membrane becomes interdigitation prone. We find that for DPPC vesicles with sterol concentrations of 20–25mol%, significantly more ethanol is required to induce interdigitation compared to pure DPPC vesicles; ∼7vol. more for ergosterol and ∼10vol. more for cholesterol. For lower sterol concentrations (10–15mol%), interdigitation is offset, but by <5vol.. These data support the idea that ergosterol and cholesterol do enhance survivability for cells exposed to high concentrations of ethanol and provide evidence that the appearance of the interdigitated (LβI) phase bilayer is a major factor in the disruption of cellular activity, which typically occurs between ∼12 and ∼16vol. ethanol in yeast fermentations. We summarize our findings by producing, for the first time, "elasticity/phase diagrams" over a wide range of sterol (cholesterol and ergosterol) and ethanol concentrations.

Alcohol induction of interdigitation in distearoylphosphatidylcholine: fluorescence studies of alcohol chain length requirements Biophysical Journal, Volume 67, Issue 5, 1 November 1994, Pages 1888-1895 E.S. Rowe and J.M. Campion Abstract Although it is now well established that the fully interdigitated phase is induced in saturated like-chain phosphatidylcholines (PCs) by a variety of amphipathic molecules including alcohols, no systematic study of the properties of the inducing molecules has been reported. To elucidate the stereochemical features that lead to the alcohol induction of interdigitation in PCs, we have investigated the induction of interdigitation in distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) by a series of alcohols. Our previously established DPH (1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene) fluorescence intensity method has been expanded (P. Nambi, E. S. Rowe, and T. M. McIntosh (1988), Biochemistry 27:9175–9182) and used to determine which of the alcohols induce interdigitation and to determine the threshold concentrations for each. We have found that each of the n-alcohols up to heptanol and several branched alcohols are capable of inducing interdigitation in DSPC; octanol and nonanol do not appear to induce interdigitation by these criteria. The threshold concentrations for interdigitation for each of these alcohols up to heptanol were found to be correlated with the membrane: buffer partition coefficients. The mole fraction of bound alcohol at the threshold concentration was similar for each of the alcohols up to pentanol. These results are discussed in terms of a general mechanism of the formation of the interdigitated phase. Abstract | PDF (834 kb) |
Role of Unsaturated Lipid and Ergosterol in Ethanol Tolerance of Model Yeast Biomembranes Biophysical Journal, Volume 102, Issue 3, 8 February 2012, Pages 507-516 Juan M. Vanegas, Maria F. Contreras, Roland Faller and Marjorie L. Longo Abstract We present a combined atomic force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy study of the behavior of a ternary supported lipid bilayer system containing a saturated lipid (DPPC), an unsaturated lipid (DOPC), and ergosterol in the presence of high ethanol (20 vol %). We find that the fluorescent probe Texas Red DHPE preferentially partitions into the ethanol-induced interdigitated phase, which allows the use of fluorescence imaging to investigate the phase behavior of the system. Atomic force microscopy and fluorescence images of samples with the same lipid mixture show good agreement in sample morphology and area fractions of the observed phases. Using area fractions obtained from fluorescence images over a broad range of compositions, we constructed a phase diagram of the DPPC/DOPC/ergosterol system at 20 vol % ethanol. The phase diagram clearly shows that increasing unsaturated lipid and/or ergosterol protects the membrane by preventing the formation of the interdigitated phase. This result supports the hypothesis that yeast cells increase ergosterol and unsaturated lipid content to prevent interdigitation and maintain an optimal membrane thickness as ethanol concentration increases during anaerobic fermentations. Changes in plasma membrane composition provide an important survival factor for yeast cells to deter ethanol toxicity. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1260 kb) |

In this study we introduce a mesoscopic lipid-water-alcohol model. Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations have been used to investigate the induced interdigitation of bilayers consisting of double-tail lipids by adding alcohol molecules to the bilayer. Our simulations nicely reproduce the experimental phase diagrams. We find that alcohol can induce an interdigitated structure where the common bilayer structure changes into monolayer in which the alcohol molecules screen the hydrophobic tails from the water phase. At low concentrations of alcohol the membrane has domains of the interdigitated phase that are in coexistence with the common membrane phase. We compute the effect of the chain length of the alcohol on the phase behavior of the membrane and show that the stability of the interdigitated phase depends on the length of the alcohol. We show that we can reproduce the experimental hydrophobic thickness of the bilayer for various combinations of lipids and alcohols. We use our model to clarify some of the experimental questions related to the structure of the interdigitated phase and put forward a simple model that explains the alcohol chain length dependence of the stability of this interdigitated phase.

How to Avoid Estate Tax Traps
Laura Saunders of The Wall Street Journal has a timely article related to how a couple can get the most from the federal estate tax exemption after the second spouse dies. Under current law, married couples can leave an unlimited amount to each other at their death. However, unless some estate planning takes place, when the second spouse dies, they could loose the $5.12 million exemption of the first spouse that can be transfered to the estate of the second spouse and therefore not be able to shelter from taxes a maximum amount of $10 million in their estate.

The rash of eczema is different for each person. It may even look different or affect different parts of your body from time to time. It can be mild, moderate, or severe. Generally, people with eczema suffer from dry, sensitive skin
Many people have atopic dermatitis (which is often called eczema). Eczema is an itchy, red rash. It can appear all over the body.
I hope to shed some light on the clinical aspects of atopic dermatitis, or eczema. I'm going to talk about the treatment of inflammation including the use of topical steroids and the calcineurin inhibitors Elidel and Protopic. I'll also talk about treating itch and sleep disruption and infection. I hope to help you make sense of all the medicines used to treat this disease.
We all know that eczema is not infectious – one of the UK National Eczema Society's messages for very many years. Damaged skin is vulnerable to infection, however, and infected eczema is one of the most common issues raised with the UK National Eczema Society's helpline. In this article our information team looks at why this might be and what we can do about it.
Community members have expressed concern after reading recent media coverage relating to the methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. Here are some basic questions and answers about the organism.
Excerpted from a presentation by Joanna Hamilton, at the 2010 National Eczema Association Patient Conference. Mrs. Wyoming 2009, Joanna shares her experiences as a parent of children with eczema.

Published: 6/14/2013 8:39 PM | Last update: 6/14/2013 11:37 PM Eckert steps down as HHS track coachLongtime program boss had wealth of accomplishments but not recent success.Bret Eckert, who has guided the Hutchinson High track and field program to four state championships over the last 15 years, says he was issued an ultimatum this week: Resign or be fired.Eckert chose on Friday to resign.
However, Eckert said he will think long and hard about leaving Hutchinson if the right teaching opportunity and coaching position in track presents itself. "I'd be stupid not to," he said. "If the opportunity is out there, I am going to take it." Eckert's track teams have enjoyed their share of success since he took the job in 1999. The boys track team won Kansas Class 6A crowns in 2000 and 2004, while the girls teams captured state crowns in 2003 and 2004. Add to the mix a state runner-up showing by the boys in 2003, in 2005 by the girls and third-place finishes by the girls in 2002 and the boys in 2009 and that triumph becomes even more magnified. "In 2009, we did the best we could have done," he said. "We couldn't have won state that year. Track is that way. You know about as well as you can do. There are some years when the best you can do is finish third." The Hutch faithful would welcome that kind of finish these days. For what ever reason, the program has not come close to competing at the state level over the last four years. There have been some individuals who fared well, but nothing that compares to the glory days of a decade ago that Eckert helped to orchestrate. "That's what people see. That's the perception," said Armstrong, adding that judging the success of a track program goes far deeper than where it finishes at state. "It's about getting kids out for a sport. Track is about numbers. Track is a difficult sport. It's hard to get kids to go out and train the way you need to (in order) to be successful as a program." The numbers hadn't slipped exponentially. Eckert said he finished this season with 82 athletes on the track team. There were about 90 athletes in the program the last time Hutchinson won a state championship. What has dipped is the kind of athletes that are running track at Hutchinson. In its heyday, the Salthawks had athletes who specialized in track - kids who would go onto run at the highest level of collegiate sports. While Hutch had 21 athletes qualify for the Kansas Class 6A meet last month, most of them were good high school athletes and not necessarily track athletes. Most competed in other sports through the year and ran track to stay in shape for those other sports, Eckert said. "We worked just as hard this year as we did in 2009," he said. "I did everything I did in 2009. If I'm not working hard, I feel like I'm cheating the kids." The spring is a challenge because most big-class schools, Hutchinson included, offer seven sports. That makes it nearly impossible to get every good athlete out for track, Eckert said. "The kids are pulled in a lot of directions," he said. "They have a lot of options. How do you get kids to come out for a team so they can spend six hours at a track meet, waiting to run a race that lasts 30 seconds? How do you get parents to do that? It's a challenge." That's always been track's lament. It will be that way if he chooses to go to another school to coach track. There is an opening at a school in northeast Kansas that Eckert chose not to name. And he has an interest in that vacant position. "Track is my passion - it always has been," he said. "But the idea of being closer to home - closer to my family is my real motivation for considering it." Eckert, who grew up in Effingham - about 42 miles northeast of Topeka - said he became aware of that fact in February that he wanted to be closer to his parents. He was free for dinner and spent the next few minutes trying to arrange get-togethers with friends, but each was busy entertaining his parents. "It hit me then that I can't do that when I want to," he said. "I've always lived a long way from them. I want to be able to drop in and have lunch with them if I want to." Armstrong said he has not yet begun considering Hutch's next track coach. He'll look over his list of coaches already on staff to see if there is one ready for the job. If there isn't, he'll go outside of the community to fill the position.
"We will evaluate our applicants and figure out what we need to do," he said. "We appreciate the work and the time that coach Eckert put in over the years. We're hoping we can bring back some of that success to our track program. We're looking forward to the future."

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - Prosecutors say they will pursue a premeditated murder charge against Oscar Pistorius as the Paralympic superstar openly wept in court Friday after being charged with shooting his girlfriend to death.
Pistorius was formally charged at Pretoria Magistrate's Court with one count of murder.
Reeva Steenkamp, a model and budding reality TV show participant, was shot and killed at Pistorius' upmarket home in an eastern suburb of the South African capital in the predawn hours of Thursday, sending the country reeling.
Pistorius stood with his face in his hands as he broke down in tears on his first court appearance.
The magistrate delayed Pistorius' bail hearing until next Tuesday and Wednesday and ruled that the 26-year-old Pistorius would be held at a Pretoria police station until then.

Art student challenges ownership
"Senior Joanna Patterson has an eclectic collection of stuff and she wants the Elon population to borrow almost everything.
For her senior exhibition, Patterson, a BFA artsenior, is exploring the conventional notions of property and ownership by allowing people to "shop" at a permanent location at 201 W. Trollinger, a gallery space and home to the Arts and Letters Learning Community, as well as pop-up displays all over campus and a catalogue".

Toplu: Landscapes of New Turkish Suburbia
Isabella Canon Room, Center for the Arts, through March
"I have a long-standing interest in the cultural landscape of residential areas. My previous work includes an extended project on the suburban landscapes of Midwestern America. I looked at delineations and borders - how residents and planners defined their spaces against the perceived chaos of the outside world.
I first traveled to Turkey in 2003 and have returned many times since. In this landscape, I began to see many parallels to my previous work played out on an exaggerated scale. In 2008, I began photographing the rapidly changing landscape of these far-flung, densely populated regions on the suburban outskirts.
I was initially struck by the Toplu Konut, developments of large scale mass-residences. In these photographs, many are still under construction - plopped down into empty fields at a startling pace. Others are tidy high-rise condominium clusters that are self-contained with their own restaurants, schools, shops, swimming pools, tennis courts, and playgrounds. Within their walls they are meticulously landscaped and manicured. Toplu, the title of the exhibition, has the dual meaning of 1. mass, common; as well as 2. tidy or neat.

What kind of gardening tips will you find here?
Well, to be bluntly honest, you'll find tips on gardening and gardening advice that I couldn't decide where else to put!
After all, many of the gardening tips that we gardeners carry in our arsenal of knowledge are pretty general.
For example, my first entry to this section of the website is about protecting your plants from frost and freeze damage.
That's information that applies to just about every type of plant you might grow. So it doesn't really belong in a section of the website devoted to tomatoes, or blueberries, or any other specific crop.
But I think you'll agree that protecting your plants from frost is certainly important information. It's information that belongs somewhere on a website about gardening.
And that's exactly the type of info you'll find in this section of the website -- great gardening advice, and great DIY tips for gardening. The information that you find here might be a bit difficult to categorize, but it's information that's important. It's information that will hopefully contribute to your success as a backyard gardener.
And if it took you a bit of searching to find what you were looking for here in this catchall category – sorry!
But having found it, I hope you'll feel it was worth the search!
Frost Protection
Providing frost protection for your plants may be necessary if you want to maximize your growing season. Learn how to use tools like floating row cover and wall o' water to prevent frost damage.
Know Your Last Frost Date
Knowing the last frost date for your area is important. Your gardening schedule will be partly determined by the date of your average last frost. And fall gardeners need to know the first frost date, too.
Garden Soil pH
Having your garden soil pH in the proper range for the plants you're growing is important. Soil pH defines whether your garden is composed of acidic soil, alkaline soil or somewhere in between.
Testing Soil pH
Testing soil pH – it's important! Do you know your garden soil pH? Do you know whether you have acidic soil or alkaline soil? You can find out without hiring the services of a soil testing lab.
How to Lower Soil pH
Need to lower soil pH in your garden? You have several options available to you. Which option is best depends upon several factors. But moving your garden soil pH lower may be as simple as adding fertilizer or mulch.
How to Raise Soil pH
Raising pH is easier than lowering it. And though there are other alternatives, amending your garden soil with limestone is probably the best method of achieving a pH increase.
Garden Soil Preparation
Garden soil preparation involves getting organic matter, nutrients and pH where you want them. Getting your vegetable garden soil just right will pay dividends, making your efforts in improving garden soil worthwhile.
Chill Hours
Understanding chill hours – what they are and what they signify – can be a very useful tool for a gardener. Every fruiting plant has a chilling requirement. And every geographic area has an annual average of accumulated hours of chill time.
Types of Fertilizers
Gardening tips about many types of fertilizers, what the fertilizer numbers (or fertilizer analysis) of NPK fertilizers mean, and information about natural fertilizer such as seaweed fertilizer.
Using Manure as Fertilizer
Using manure as fertilizer can be great for your garden. Whether you're using cow manure fertilizer, chicken manure fertilizer or horse manure fertilizer you can make your plants very happy with manure fertilizer.

Bally hits ICE
It's shaping up to be a huge 2012 for Bally Technologies. The company is thrilled to be showcasing its world-class games, systems, and interactive products at the ICE Totally Gaming show in London.
Highlighting Bally's display will be its fabulous new licensed products, including Michael Jackson King of Pop, Grease, and Betty Boop's Fortune Teller.
The impressive Michael Jackson King of Pop on the new Pro Series V22/32 cabinet comes complete with a custom surround-sound chair that provides an unrivalled player experience. Offering everything from mystery wilds bonuses to free games bonus events featuring Bad, Billie Jean, Beat It, and Smooth Criminal, this game is highlighted by a U-Spin Platinum Record Bonus.
Operators, industry insiders, and players are already talking about the debut of King of Pop on casino floors this summer. The game has garnered wide-spread media attention and earned rave reviews from casino operators and analysts who cover the gaming industry.
Roth Capital said that Bally had the best overall showing at G2E in October, with exciting new wide-area progressive products and increased content for its ALPHA 2 platform, and UBS stated that Michael Jackson King of Pop had the most buzz.
Grease, inspired by the 1978 American musical film about two love-struck teens in a 1950s high school, is Bally's first double-play game, featuring two, 25-line games – enabling the player to play two games at once. And Betty Boop's Fortune Teller, the new companion game to the hit Betty Boop's Love Meter, offers an unprecedented 15 bonuses at any bet and U-Spin and U-Choose bonuses.
Not only will Bally display branded games, the Company will showcase a wide array of new play mechanics and deep game content. Several titles will be show on the new Pro Curve cabinet, the industry's first cabinet with a curved LCD screen. Games on the Pro Curve, such as Code Red, Midnight Diamonds and Playboy Playmate Party, look and feel like a traditional reel games, but are actually video slots.
Additionally, Bally will be taking its iDeck to the next level in 2012. The iDeck touch-screen button deck replaces the traditional button deck. New games like Fish'n for Loot, All That Jazz, and Total Blast showcase the way iDeck takes player interactivity to new heights, allowing players to use the interactive deck to shoot items on the game screen much like a video arcade.
The new Bally Interactive division will be displaying several of its award-winning custom mobile apps, mobile websites, Internet games, and play-for-fun games at ICE.
Bally Interactive offers a deep library of provide casino-gaming content, including popular licensed brands. Visitors to Bally's ICE exhibit will see a number of Internet games, including Cash Spin, Vegas Hits, Cash Wave, and Playboy Hot Zone. Like Bally's land-based games, its interactive versions offer enhanced bonusing, proven play mechanics, progressives, and other outstanding features.
ICE attendees will see first-hand why many of the world's top casinos use Bally Mobile apps to allow guests to make restaurant reservations, book rooms, find games, contact casino personnel directly, access property maps, and more. And several Bally play-for-fun games, including Cash Spin, Code Red , Playboy Hot Zone, Vegas Hits, and Cash Wizard will be on display at the show and are available now at the iTunes store.
Over the next year, Bally will integrate its mobile and Internet solutions with its core casino patron, slot-management, and business-intelligence systems to give gaming operators a "single view of the player" and enable casinos to deliver a powerful experience to their patrons whether they are on the casino floor, at home, or on the move.
"This is a very exciting step in the evolution of Bally Technologies," said Richard M. Haddrill, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "As gaming expands outside the casino floor, our technologies will enable casino operators to reach their patrons wherever they are, bringing the casino to the players, and bringing players back to the casino."
And at ICE, Bally Systems will display its award-winning products, including iVIEW Dsiplay Manager (DM) with the Elite Bonusing Suite. These trailblazing products allow for unprecedented floor-wide events and bonusing.
Also on display will be the award-winning Service Tacking Manager (STM). STM is a browser-based dispatch system that interfaces with handheld smart devices such as the iPhone and iPad for faster routing of casino-floor personnel to customers. When a service request is generated through the system, such as a machine malfunction or patron pressing the service button, casino personnel closest to the patron are immediately notified, increasing the efficiency of casino operations and customer satisfaction.
"The focus of our ICE exhibit will be on showcasing solutions that offer highly entertaining experiences to casino players, while delivering a strong return-on-investment to operators," said Bally Technologies' President and Chief Operating Officer Ramesh Srinivasan. "We will be showcasing our new world-class licensed brands, lots of fresh compelling game content, several trailblazing new play mechanics, and new floor-wide bonusing applications that deliver a truly differentiated experience across the casino floor on games from any manufacturer."

Purging to clear
Published: April 15th, 2009
I know that I have asked this before and have tried everything that was suggested as far as different purge compounds, but I still haven't seen the results I would like to see.
Any other ideas on how to go from a white colored PC to a clear PC fairly quickly without too many cloudy parts.

Hi, This depends also on the
This depends also on the mould that you have. Are you using any hot runner system. Usually with HRs it takes a bit more to preform the colour change.
Anyhow, the idea is to create as much shear as possible inside the barrel. So you can for example reduce the temperature of the heater bands and increase the injection speed. I usually make like this to preform colour change w/ PP for caps and stuffs like that, where typically you need a fast colour change.
If you are using a hot runner, after cleaning the barrel, you have to increase the temperatures of the heaters on the HR maintaining the low temperatures and fast injection speed (pay attention on the injection pressure and compare it with the max. injection pressure that your HR supports to avoid bad surprises).

The world's best resource for Chinese grammar is now available.
I'm very excited to announce the launch of:
The Chinese Grammar Wiki
This project has been a long, long time in the making. As the name suggests, it's a resource for Chinese Grammar. It's by far the best resource for Chinese grammar on the Internet, in fact.
The project has been led by John Pasden for his company AllSet Learning. In his own words:
I realized that there's no single resource on the entire internet which does a good, comprehensive job of covering the grammar of Mandarin Chinese. There are some decent books, but the only decent online resources offer only fragmented help with grammar.
Creating a resource for an entire language's grammar has been a massive undertaking, and so I've gotten a good start on it over the past year with the help of some excellent reference books and four especially hard-working interns. We've done it as a wiki not to open it up to anonymous edits, but to make it easier for interested parties to get involved, and because I think what Wikipedia is doing is very much the same thing that's still needed for Chinese grammar (on a smaller, more niche scale).
The Grammar Wiki content belongs to AllSet Learning, but it's freely available to all through a Creative Commons license. I'm really hoping that learners all over the world will find it useful, and that some of them will even want to give back to the project by serving as an editor.
A comprehensive Chinese grammar resource
All in all, it's huge. It covers Chinese grammar in massive detail from a variety of angles. Some features:
- You can look at Chinese grammar structures arranged comprehensively by level of difficulty.
- All grammar points are shown with a standardised structure.
- You can look at the grammar of all parts of speech in Chinese, with detailed explanations.
- The whole thing has example sentences galore, checked by native speakers.
- Dozens of Chinese textbooks plus ChinesePod's lesson archive are indexed in the Chinese Grammar Wiki, so you can easily incorporate the Wiki's content into your studies.
This is going to make a huge difference to people studying Chinese everywhere. It's a fantastic free resource, and is a must-see, whatever your level of Chinese is.

Designed to meet a range of day care needs for individuals, families or wider communities, Family Centres are central to the government's provision of effective child care services.
The study of family centres - monitoring their objectives, examining key challenges faced and evaluating approaches to practice - is fundamental to the delivery of effective, evidence-based services. This book details and evaluates expert research into the developing role of family centres in the light of current political and social trends including, the Every Child Matters legislation. It outlines the different user groups serviced by family centres; the various combinations of services provided and the contribution that these are making to positive outcomes for children; major tasks facing family centres such as optimising access to services; and important partnerships between family centres and other services such as education and health care. Based on the evidence, the authors highlight key messages for future development.
A vital addition to the literature on child care services, Improving Children's Services Networks is essential reading for social care practitioners and students, government policy makers and planners.

Keep baseball kids healthy Recently a Fayette baseball parent wrote a very good letter to the paper and its readers explaining the necessity for warming up young players properly and watching pitch counts in order to maintain healthy arms. I would like to take this just a bit further. In today's world many parents are concerned about the competition that their child faces in their child's chosen sport, and in order to carve a "secure" niche for their child they forget some of the precautions that should be taken with young athletes. While the damage that may be done to young arms may not be seen for several years, it nevertheless can materialize and thus end the career of a young athlete. The Hughston Clinic recently reported a rise in rotator cuff injuries, especially among the 13- to 14-year-old athletes. Elbow injuries are also on the rise. The act of pitching a baseball is very stressful to the body because it is an unnatural motion. Growth plates can be affected. The years of puberty can be hard on a young athlete's body. Watch those pitch counts, and watch the types of pitches a player learns and practices. An article in The Physician and Sportsmedicine, June 1999, listed the recommended ages for learning various types of pitches. They recommended that a curve ball not be taught before the age of 13 or 14 to avoid injury. (There is a 2-year deviation to this suggested age, depending on the skeletal maturity of the athlete.) The article also lists a maximum number of pitches per game and per week for various age groups. For 8- to 10-year-olds, a maximum of 52 pitches (+/-15) per game should be thrown. For 11- to 12-year-olds, that goes to 68 (+/-18). For 13- to 14-year-olds, they go up to 76 (+/- 16). And for 15- to 16-year-olds, we are still under 100 pitches per game, 91 (+/- 16). You can see how important those pitch counts are. Little League Baseball continues to research the safety aspects of the game and to regulate pitching by the athletes in their programs for the purpose of maintaining healthy bodies. We want all players to enjoy the sport and stay healthy. It just takes a little guidance from an adult who is equipped with the proper knowledge. Linda North Little League District Administrator

OK, so can I be perfectly honest... I did not save all the other stuff. You know that stuff that gets on the fridge for encouragement, but when the cleaning lady comes it miraculously finds its way into the circle file.
I kept some things but those were always given to my parents so that they can keep it because they are good like that.
Well, I got my first love note from Chi-Chi today. She wrote it all by herself. She even made sure that she spelled "mommy" correct.
Oh and can I say that it is my first true only for mama and not for anyone else who could have picked her up from school on the list kinda art.
until we meet again,

Oxalic acid dihydrate is heated by the VARROX-vaporizer.
Due to the heating action the oxalic acid liquefies and vaporises. The oxalic acid vapour fills the hive and all the bees and surfaces are then covered with a thin layer of oxalic acid crystals.
These fine crystals are well tolerated by the bees, but have a deadly effect on the Varroa.
MELLONEX is used for the control of the young wax moth (Galleria mellonella). MELLONEX consists of granules which contain the active substance Bacillus thuringiensis var. aizawai. It is harmless for the bees.
Shortly after consumption of the treated combs, the wax moth larvae stops feeding and dies soon thereafter. Small larvae are more susceptible than bigger larvae, therefore, it is advisable to treat during early stages of infestations.
MELLONEX leaves no residues in honey and combs.
The taste of honey does not change.
The FAM-Dispenser was developed by the Swiss Bee Research Centre Agroscope Liebefeld-Posieux (at that time FAM Liebefeld).
It is proved for the application of acid formic to control the Varroa mite and is distinguished for its simple handling and its efficacy.

Endorsements for Fire and Fragrance
Lou Engle: Co-Founder and President, TheCall
"The leaders who move history give articulation to that which is already silently rumbling in the collective conscience of the masses. When that articulated word is released, bones rattle and great people movements begin to shake the earth. My friend Sean Feucht is one of those leaders. The gift of God upon him has kindled a flame that a generation created to praise, pray, and practice justice in the earth is lighting their candle to, and the lamp of that Burn is lighting the world. The young man's story is truly a sign and a wonder in the nations. Don't read this book if you don't want to be a burning man or a burning woman."
Pete Greig: 24-7 Prayer and Alpha International
London, England
"This is a great book by a great guy with a great message. It is a timely word for those seeking to live lives of convergence: between Heaven and earth, between sacred and secular, between nations, and between the movements of prayer and mission. Get it, read it, and help spread the virus!"
Charles Stock: Senior Pastor, Life Center Ministries International
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
"TIf you would like a glimpse of the future of world missions, read on! From Eternity Past into the endlessness of the Future Kingdom, God's relentless, jealous pursuit of the heart of man is the story of all ages. It fuels our burning passion for His presence, our worship, and our missions. Sean and Andy are the real deal, heralds of a new model and a final phase of world evangelization. Read this book and get ready for the next 10 to 20 years as 'musicianaries' introduce the sounds of Heaven to nation after nation, from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same!"
Beni Johnson: Prayer Pastor at Bethel Church, Redding, California
Author of The Happy Intecessor
"Sean's book reveals that worship is our greatest tool and weapon in the Kingdom. There is an atmospheric shift that takes place in the earthly realm when we worship our Creator. This book shows us first hand how the fire and presence of Heaven can bring a supernatural impartation enabling us to spread the fragrance everywhere we go! Thanks Sean!"
Shawn Bolz: Senior Pastor, Expression58, Hollywood, California
Author of Keys to Heaven's Economy and The Throne Room Company
"Sean Feucht is a revolutionary leader who is helping to define the DNA of a new movement in Christianity. I have been watching his life and what he is raising up through his calling of worship, intercession, missions, and revival, and I am so excited about this book because it's a representation of that very life he is living. It is a call to action, and it's a call for you!"
Wesley and Stacey Campbell: Revival Now Ministries and Be A Hero
"The search for the face of God ends with a revelation of His love for all humankind. Out of the encounter with His presence is birthed a compelling love for the whole world, and an automatic desire to give everything to see His desire fulfilled (John 17:24). Sean and Andy have both touched this fire and gone to the nations, so they speak with authority to a new breed in the final frontiers of the global missions movement. Fire and Fragrance will cause you to burn with the same passion that motivated Jesus to leave His Kingdom for earth. It is a dangerous read - if taken seriously, it will change your life."
Joy Dawson
"It's a joy to endorse my dear friend Andy Byrd's co-authorship of this book, Fire and Fragrance, because I know the intrinsic worth of his character. This man writes out of his consistent passionate relationship with the living Christ. The contents throb with vitality and challenge because Andy is making God's priorities his priorities. This book gives us insights into the fire of God's glory. I love it.
P.S. It may be too hot for some!"
Ray Hughes: Selah Ministries
Author of The Minstrel Series
"The first time I taught on worship evangelism was in Pittsburgh in 1983. During the teaching I stated that "God would release a 'musicianary' movement that would shake nations with the sound of His heart." I believe that the shaking has begun. To see "musicianaries" like Sean now rising up with the sound and vocabulary of God's heart excites me beyond words."
Cindy Jacobs
Generals International
"One cannot read Sean Feucht and Andy Byrd's Fire and Fragrance without becoming passionately in love with God. It tears apart complacency until it is shattered and fuels a passion to see the nations worship our King. This is a much-needed book as God loves the world (John 3:16) as well as individuals. The good news is that a burning heart will never leave you anything but consumed by God - and it absolutely torches the devil!"
Banning Liebscher: Jesus Culture Director
Author of Jesus Culture: Living a Life That Transforms the World
"In every generation God raises up voices who not only instruct His people but call them to live radically abandoned to the cause of Christ on the earth. Sean Feucht is one of those voices. God is using Sean to release the cry for revival in the nations of the world, and a movement of worship, prayer, and missions is arising that is full of fire. It is not just a movement of events or gatherings but is genuinely birthed in the hearts of believers who, in pursuing the presence of God, are becoming the fulfillment of their prayers. Sean not only has the anointing to call a generation to live wholeheartedly before the Lord, but he has the anointing to impart this lifestyle because of His own hunger and passion for God and global revival."
James W. Goll: Encounters Network, Prayer Storm, Compassion Acts
Author of The Seer, The Lost Art of Intercession, Praying for Israel's Destiny, and many more
"In every generation there arises new, fresh voices that speak to their times, their peers, and even to nations. Sean Feucht with Burn 24-7 is one of those penetrating voices crying out in the wilderness to make a way for the Lord. Your faith will be stirred to a flame as you read the testimonies of one who believes in the pursuit of God's presence with radical abandonment. Let your heart burn warmly within as you partner with Sean and others to win for the Lamb the rewards of His sufferings."

In a celebration of interfaith understanding and unity, the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in Beachwood is presenting an exhibition focused on the life of Pope John Paul II.
"A Blessing to One Another: Pope John Paul II and the Jewish People" will open Friday, May 18, and run through Sunday, Aug. 5.
Pope John Paul, a native of Poland, was a world traveler who extended himself to believers of many faiths.
During his reign, he worked to improve Catholic and Jewish relations. In 1979, he became the first pope to visit the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, where Nazi guards tortured and executed many of his countrymen during World War II.
In 1986, he visited the Great Synagogue of Rome, becoming the first pope to make an official visit there. And in 2000, after visiting the Holocaust memorial in Israel, he touched the Western Wall in Jerusalem and placed a message there.
The message was a prayer for forgiveness for violence and discrimination against the Jewish people.
The exhibition features photographs, personal artifacts and videos documenting John Paul's history with the Jewish people.
Visitors can write prayers that will be taken to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
The exhibition's photographs and artifacts are on loan from museums in the United States, Poland, Italy and Israel.
They include the red cap John Paul received in 1967 when he became a cardinal and vestments he wore at an inter-religious prayer service in Assisi.
In 1969, before becoming pope, he visited St. Casimir, a Polish Catholic church on Cleveland's East Side. He was known then as Cardinal Karol Wojtyla.
For more information about the John Paul exhibition, visit maltzmuseum.org or call 216-593-0575. The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage is at 2929 Richmond Road, Beachwood.
Jesse Owens' story featured: A new PBS documentary tells the story of Clevelander Jesse Owens, a black track star who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin -- a triumph that stung Adolf Hitler and his racist regime.
"American Experience: Jesse Owens" premieres at 8 p.m. Tuesday on WVIZ Channel 25. It will be aired again on the station at 8 p.m. Thursday and 5 p.m. next Sunday.
The documentary traces Owens' life from a poor kid growing up in Cleveland, where he ran track at East Tech High School, to his glorious victories in Berlin.
Despite his extraordinary talents and achievements, Owens suffered the daily indignities of a man born into an oppressed race.
At Ohio State University, where he ran track, he was forbidden to live on campus. And on his first night back in the United States from Berlin, he and his wife were turned away from hotel after hotel in New York City.
Finally, a hotel rented him a room, but the couple had to use the service entrance.
On a running track, Owens was a hero. But once he slipped off his cleats, he was a target for racist hatred.
Still, as the documentary shows, he kept his dignity. "Jesse Owens was able to carve out his own path and sustain himself, his family and his legacy during very troubling and limited times for black men," says the documentary's producer/director Laurens Grant.
Asian Festival returns: The third annual Cleveland Asian Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 19-20 at the Asia Plaza shopping center, 2999 Payne Ave., and surrounding streets on Cleveland's near East Side.
The festival features Asian food, cultural performances, martial arts demonstrations, free health screenings and fun games, including inflatable sumo wrestling and an egg roll eating contest.
Headlining the entertainment this year are the "Instant Noodles," dancers who gained national recognition on MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew," finishing in the top five.
Instant Noodles has appeared on U.S. and Taiwan television shows and has competed in dance contests throughout the world.
The festival is free. For more information, visit clevelandasianfestival.org.

Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage announced Friday that he has declined the opportunity from IndyCar officials to host the 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series finale in place of the canceled event in China.
IndyCar announced Wednesday that its race scheduled for Aug. 19 in Qingdao, China has been canceled, and that it was seeking another event to fulfill its 16-race schedule. In a statement, the Texas track said that IndyCar reached out to Gossage to see if his facility had an interest in hosting the season finale in late September or early October, but that he had decided against taking up the offer.
"We appreciate IndyCar reaching out to us for that opportunity, but there were numerous issues and obstacles to overcome to successfully promote the event like the past 23 IZOD IndyCar Series events we have hosted here," Gossage said. "Our focus during that fall period – ranging from operations to marketing – is squarely on the Nov. 1-4 AAA Texas 500 NASCAR tripleheader weekend, especially with it being a key Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race. We couldn't justify dividing resources between the two events to make it happen and it would be an injustice to both due to the scheduling."
Texas Motor Speedway played host to last Saturday night's Firestone 550 won by Justin Wilson. The IZOD IndyCar Series has run annually at Texas Motor Speedway since it opened in 1997 and two races were held at the facility from 1998 to 2004, including the season finale on six occasions (1999-2004).
IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard subsequently released a statement saying: "We appreciate Texas Motor Speedway exploring the opportunity with us. We continue to speak with various tracks to find the right venue for our potential 16th race."

Recommend Filler for Tear Trough Without Causing Hollowness?
- Asked by Theresa Anne in Richmond, VA
- 4 years ago
I have been getting Botox for brow and eye (outer & under portion) for wrinkles and have been very happy with the results.
My treatments last well into 5 months. However, now I have that "hollow" look under my eyes that are also dark looking, but mostly in the corner by the tear glands & under.
I had eyelid surgery in 1996 and it has looked wonderful until the hollow look started. Which is a better filler for me? Juvederm or Evolence?
Options for filling the tear troughs under eyes
Both Juvederm and Restylane work well in this area. Evolence is a great product for nasolabial lines, but the eyelid area often requires that the filler go into a deeper layer. I do disagree with the comment that Restylane is superior because it doesn't cause as much swelling; in the immediate term, it has more uncrosslinked HA which would lead to more swelling, though this is not usually a clinically significant issue. Both products create volume by holding on to water.
Fillers for Tear Trough
This hollowness is often the result of removing too much fat during a lower lid bleph. To correct it I use deep fillers such as Radiesse or Evolence. If it's severe a superficial filler, such as a hyaluronic acid filler, may be needed in a layered fashion.
Of course I'm the "Phat Doc" and love micro fat grafting for a more permanent solution.
Recommend filler for tear trough without causing hollowness?
Dear Theresa,
I agree with the previous 2 postings by my colleagues.
A hyaluronic acid filler is preferable because of its ease, duration and, if needed, reversibility. At this time Restylane has shown to be superior as it does not retain as much water and cause as much swelling as Juvederm. This does NOT mean that Juvederm is inferior to Restylane EXCEPT that in this location Restylane offers a better fit.
Hope this was helpful.

Recent Juvederm Reviews
Treatment for hollow eyes
The best injectable for around the eyes is an HA filler such as Juvederm. You need to be very careful with injections around the eye since the skin is so thin and unforgiving. I see several patients every month who come to me after seeing other injectors who left lumps around their eyes. For the HA fillers we do have an injection that will dissolve the lumps in most cases. For other fillers, such as collagen, there is not dissolving agent. Good luck with your injections.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
Tear Trough and fillers
All fillers are used as an off-label, non FDA approved indication in this area. There is only so much of the hollow that can be filled in without gettting to close to the eye. There are risks to this procedure and it might be safer to use the hyaluronic acids such as Juvederm or Restylane so that the product might be dissolved by the use of an injection of hyaluronidase if there is an acute problem.
Web reference: http://www.thenyac.com
Botox and Restylane for tear troughs
If you are getting Botox under the eye area it is possible that this is making the hollow look worse. I only use Restylane for tear troughs. Juvederm takes on too much water and is too tricky in this area. You might try skipping the undereye area with Botox and see if this helps.
Tear trough filler of choice
I have had good results with both Restylane and Filler, however, my top choice would be Restylane. Restylane tends to swell less in the tear trough area and is more predictable (tends not to migrate).
Good luck.
Neither, Use Restylane for Tear Trough Hollows
Hi Theresa,
Stick with Restylane for filling of the tear trough hollows as Juvederm sometimes can attract a little too much fluid and result in unwanted puffiness in this delicate and unforgiving area.
Choose your injecting physician most carefully for injections in this area!
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Restylane is your best bet for hollow eyes
Treating the hollow area under the eyes requires a great deal of skill. However, many patients get excellent results with the correct treatment.
Any filler will add volume under the eyes. The issue is which type of volume enhancement is the best option. In my opinion the best option for under the eyes is Restylane.
Juvederm is any excellent filler. However, in some patients Juvederm tends to swell. This can happen with Restylane as well, but that is much more uncommon.
The big advantage of Restylane (and Juvederm) is that it can easily be dissolved. No matter how skilled the cosmetic surgeon, some patients need a touch up and that is easy to do with Restylane and Juvederm.
Evolence is collagen based. For that reason it can not be dissolved. If there is anything that you don't like about the treatment, you would need to wait for the product to dissolve on its own.
Hope this is helpful.
Filler for the tear trough area
Juvederm and Restylane have worked well for my patients. I do not have any experience with Evolence. I like Juvederm and Restylane because those can be removed using hyaluronidase. So, if you don't like the look there is recourse. With Evolence I don't think you can reverse it.

West Meets East: Director Gareth Evans on The Raid
It's the final day of Glasgow Film Festival 2012 and I'm up with the lark to speak to Welsh director Gareth Evans, the man responsible for the most talked about film at this year's event, before he catches a flight back to his adopted home of Indonesia. The film in question is The Raid, a fat-free, high-octane martial arts flick that only a few hours earlier tore the roof off the GFT as it closed FrightFest, GFF's blood splattered genre movie weekend. When I meet a bright-eyed Evans, he's still flying high from the ecstatic response. "It killed," beams the Welshman. "We've seen it a couple of times with different audiences and there are these certain moments where Iko [Uwais, The Raid's star] and I kind of elbow each other and we're like, 'oh, that bit is coming up soon, are they going to react?' And when they do we just giggle like kids."
Evans made his feature debut with 2006's little-seen Footsteps, but in 2008, after failing to find a footing on the British film industry ladder ("I didn't really do enough to get myself known here, it was my own fault"), he left behind the green, green, grass of home when his Indonesian partner secured him a gig on some documentaries back in her home country. Their subject was pencak silat, Indonesia's indigenous martial arts. The experience changed his life. "It was like six months of falling in love with silat," he tells me. "The idea of actually working out there seemed to make sense. It was an easy move to make." One of the students featured in the silat series was Uwais, Evans' future leading man in The Raid and his 2009 sophomore film Merantau. "It sounds super clichéd but he had a real screen presence about him, even when he was just warming up with the rest of the team. I knew I had to work with him."
The Raid wears its cinematic influences on its sleeve, borrowing from the likes of [REC], Die Hard, Assault on Precinct 13 and classic Bruce Lee movies, but at no point does it feel derivative. The simple setup – a squad of rookie cops enter a Jakarta tower block, filled with drug dealers and killers, with the aim of taking down the crime lord who controls the city's underworld from his penthouse flat – offered Evans a streamline plot from which to hang some of the most impressive onscreen fights in recent memory. Perhaps what makes the picture so fresh is that its director achieves this breakneck action without having to resort to the shaky cam style that's become de rigueur in Western filmmaking.
"Sometimes what [other filmmakers] do is they'll shoot for coverage rather than make specific shots for the fight," explains Evans of the practice of shooting a scattering of shots (wide, over-the-shoulder, close-up etc.), with the final sequence being constructed in the editing suite. Evans' approach is more rigorous: fight choreography dictates the shots. "We made a video storyboard of the entire fights, so every single shot that we used is chosen because it's the shot that we want to use to show off that sequence. By the time we're in preproduction we've got a template we can use of every shot movement-wise, props-wise, lighting position, make-up continuity, everything." The result is lucid editing and framing that's the antithesis of Michael Bay's headbanging frenetics.
Hollywood has certainly taken note of The Raid's success at festivals around the world. As is Tinseltown's way, an English language remake will soon go into production. Evans is surprisingly upbeat about this prospect. "I genuinely feel like there's a lot of room for improvement in terms of the central concept," he says with refreshing honesty. When asked if he'd be interested in directing the remake himself he doesn't miss a beat. "It has to be a fresh pair of eyes coming towards it, and they have to be given that freedom to run with it too. We didn't have anyone looking over our shoulders when we were making it – it was literally whatever we wanted to do."

The Chicago Tribune employs a guy named Steve Rosenbloom as a sports columnist. He is paid to create all manner of Rosen-themed content. The Rosen-blog, the Rosen-vlog, the Rosen-rant, on and on ad infinitum. This week his rant subject was a half-baked conspiracy theory, suggesting the on-air anti-umpire diatribes of Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson breed contempt for the Pale Hose and, in the long run, cost the team ballgames.
There are few things in the world more satisfying than the thought of Hawk Harrelson suffering but this suggestion is nothing short of insane. Even more insane: implying team ownership might reprimand Harrelson in an effort to curb his umpire criticism. What kind of a world are we living in, I mean really?

MORRO BAY, Calif- Humpback whales eat krill and other small fish, the do not eat people. But it is still a little scary when you are in the middle of whale feeding frenzy.
That is what happened to Shawn Stamback and Francis Antigua as they were diving in Morro Bay. "When we got in, the whales were about a quarter of a mile away," Stamback said to Grind TV.
You can see a large school of sardines in water and the group, who had charted the dive with SloDivers, told Grind TV they just wanted to get shots of humpbacks in the distance and where just passing time in between dives.
The encounter happened near Souza Rock on Saturday. The video starts off with the whales in the distance. Then, the shot switches to underwater, where you see a school of fish come out of nowhere. When the diver resurfaces, a humpback whale comes crashing out of the water and almost swallows him up.
Shawn Stamback of SLO Divers described the shocking moments to Central Coast News. He said when he saw the whale jump out of the water, he thought he was either going to get eaten or swatted by the tail. Although he was laughing about the whole situation after, he said it was a really intense moment that caught him off guard.
Luckily, no one in this encounter got hurt. But Stamback gives a warning to divers, saying if you see a whale, don't get into their way while they are feeding.
The video has quickly become viral on YouTube, with more than 600,000 hits since it was posted on Saturday.
