The state of the industry with John Cavan
28 Sep, 2009
Times are rough in the snowboard industry where each day we hear of companies cutting employees, pro riders getting dropped and shops going under but what about companies working hard to survive and continuing to bring you the products you love?
John Cavan, Rome Team Manager and Filmmaker behind Kids on Shred checks in to discuss the state of the industry to answer how the economy is hitting them, illegal downloads, team impacts, twitter interviews and the million dollar Ball Park Frank question.
Shay: How is Kids on Shred holding up during these economic times?
John: Well that's kind of an interesting question, Kids On Shred Productions is kind of on hiatus for the time being….gone on holiday if you will, but We're gearing up to start work on a new film, not quite sure exactly when we're gonna get the nod to start filming full on but I've been shooting a few things here and there and we are just kind of giving everyone time to breath and grow. The economic crunch believe it or not didn't play into our decision to not make a movie this year at all, we had planned right along to take this winter off, I think it's important for the riders to get a chance to do something different, ride with new people and learn without the pressure of feeling like they have a gun to their head, we don't want things to get stale and just go through the motions. I wish I personally had a little more time to chill, but I'm glad I have a job HA!
Shay: Who are the minds behind Kids on Shred?
John: I really don't think we are pulling the wool over anyone's eyes, KOS is Rome, it's our video division and we've kind of developed it into the production of our team movies. I work very closely with the creative crew at Rome to come up with a direction that we want to go with for all videos. We are very team influenced; I go back and forth between the office/art crew and the team on the road which is ultimately the riders and the other filmers. Kids On Shred refers to a brand ideal that means a lot to Rome and that is always LISTENING to the Kids on shred. I can tell you for a fact that this isn't bull shit because anyone's ideas are up for discussion in our war room, whether it be an idea that Bjorn and his brother came up with on the lift in Snowbird, an idea our sales manager thought of at an on snow demo with some shop kids, a song our glove guy heard at a show, or an idea Laurent had while skating with friends. One thing we've kind of prided ourselves with is not being too cool for school, and I think our movies have had a little bit of everything and that's probably why such a wide variety of kids have related to it.
Shay: Who comes up with the location shots in Rome's films, are the riders responsible for scouting their own or do you scout the locations?
John: The riders come up with most of the spots, Myself and the other filmers…and probably any serious filmer for that matter are definitely sponges when it comes to spots, I have a notebook full of places I've been and places I want to check out. We use our reps as well as friends to turn us onto new places. To me one of the funnest things about being a snowboarder….and a snowboarder who makes movies for that matter is exploration and finding new zones. I have a few go-to spots, and I'm not the gnarliest of backcountry dudes so I rely pretty heavy on the team to head to the right spots. It also is becoming more and more about the ideal spot for a certain trick so that plays a big role in it too.
Shay: Any changes with the team going on?
John: Unfortunately that question you asked about the economy and KOS doesn't have the same answer for the team. Rome like every other brand in snowboarding has been deeply effected by these crazy economic times and although the number of positions at our company that have fallen victim to these times may not be as big as say a Burton or a DC when you factor in the size of our brand it's just as tough. That goes for the team to. The team is an extension of our marketing department and every department at Rome felt this crunch. We had to make really hard decisions that unfortunately really didn't come down to performance but had a lot to do with where their contracts fell in the budget. I have gone to war with all of these guys for two movies, almost any of our riders would do anything thing I asked them to do, so it's been really hard. A short answer to a question I could go on and on about is yes we had to make some big changes to our team, Max, Yan and Marius are all no longer part of the pro team, it's sucked more than any words I can type here can describe, but it's something that in the end had to happen. We're definitely regrouping and moving forward from here. I'll do anything for those three and it's been a hard pill to swallow.
Shay: Question from Twitter Interview, How do you balance being friends with the riders and being their team manager/filmer?
John: This is a great question…..and I'm not sure if I really do it the best, but I will say I am very tight with all of our team riders. Rome is a small brand so we all are expected to do quite a bit, I work pretty hard and I commit myself pretty heavily into projects. The riders want to work harder for me cause they see that I'm working hard for them. We can yell and fight with one another about things and there really is no drama. For the most part when we have to make hard decisions they know that it's nothing personal we have good working relationships. It is very hard to go through some of the cuts like we just went through though I was very and am very tight with those guys.
Shay: Anything new coming up for Kids on Shred?
John: We are in the beginning stages of our next movie. I'm not 100% sure what it'll be or when it will be released but everyone on our team can put together a banger video part. I think we may take our time a little more with this next movie and film it a little more like a skate team video, but as soon as I know and the team knows we'll let you know ha ha ha, how was that for dodging the question……Oh yeah and we're doing the TWS Team Shootout again as well.
Shay: What are your thoughts on the TWS Team Shoot Out/Ball Park Logo ad cover?
John: Ok here goes with the Ball Park thing. First of all I have a magazine background, I am very aware and very nit picky of the ethics and sanctity of the photographic image and the sacredness to a lot of people (myself included) that a magazine cover represents. That being said, people need to get over this thing. I really think there are about twenty people, that are talking about it. We (Rome, the riders, and Scott Serfas, plus all the other teams) knew nothing about Ballpark even being a sponsor until the cover was announced, it doesn't surprise me in the least that there is a logo on the cover, I think perhaps the biggest deal could be made with the graphic design by trying to make it look like it was on a dumpster when they could have just plopped it on there and called it good, probably the graphic designer was just trying to make it look a little cooler. 90% of kids that look at that cover don't even notice it. Is it kind of shitty that they put it on there, yeah, is it really worth the agro blogs NO. They didn't make LNP go twenty feet higher, they didn't make the gap look way bigger, they didn't make the night look more ominous, they simply added a logo to the cover of the title sponsor of the event that was the major feature of the mag. It by no means says "the cover is for sale". It's not the first time it's happened and it isn't the last time it's gonna happen (certain drink logos appearing on covers…). I'm not saying this because it directly pertains to Rome or one of my riders either, I just think the reality of the matter is we are in desperate times in this economy, Snowboard magazines which I love, are in trouble and they are all trying whatever they can do right now to stay afloat, if that's having a contest "fueled by Ballpark" and getting a logo put on the cover (not faked onto something that really shouldn't be done) or if Nike 6.0 wants to sponsor some big event and they work a deal where they get a banner on the cover for that issue as long as the photos are good than do it, if it keeps the mags going during these times without sacrificing the validity of them than do what you need to do. It's easy to cry about men jumping in life rafts on a sinking ship when you are sitting safely on the deck of another boat not about to drown. TWS has Annie, Muzzey and Nick looking out for the final product, Snowboarder has Bridges and Engelsman, I think any one of those five people can make the right "ethical" call as far as covers and what not go…….Just as long as they steer clear of that UFC bullshit…HA HA
Shay: What is ShredTV and what was the inspiration behind it?
John: ShredTv is like a channel of videos that are produced by Rome and friends of Rome. They can be anything from trick tips to a run at a local park and they can be made by anyone from me to Rome's interns and reps to local shop kids. This season the majority of the videos have been produced by myself and Rome inhouse, but as we slide into the production of our next full length video I hope for it to become more of an open format for great shredding vids regardless of rider ability or production crew. Short answer it's just a home for fun shred videos.
Shay: What are your thoughts on this year's snowboard films, any favorites that get you pumped for the season?
John: Oh man, I'm like a nerd when it comes to shred movies, I haven't seen them all, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the Forum movie, Pat, Jake and Eddie are all my friends and I always like what they put out, plus I hear John Jackson has the part of the year. I really liked LNP's part in Videograss along with Louif's part and actually I was really hyped on Bittner's part in there too. The thing that has me the most stoked this winter seems to be snow..I know that may sound funny but the People movie is just awesome with how much slashing and fun pow riding there is, that made me want to go snowboarding more than anything, that powder cowboys part is soo sick, and Marben, Eiki and Lucas's parts are all no joke. The Absinthe movie opening with Nicolas Muellor is all time, Gigi's section and MFM's sections are super good and Rice is just out of hand in there he's so clearly on another level it's almost kind of funny. I could go on and on but that's what comes to mind right off the bat.
Shay: You were the recent interviewee on Rome's twitter interview, how did you get selected?
John: HA HA that's kind of funny because I absolutely hated Twitter, I thought it was the dumbest thing on the planet ( I still kind of do) the team guys have all been laughing at me because once we decided that it was making a difference and kids were responding and people were communicating with the brand, I had to kind of make sure we were using it so I was on the team guys to stay on there and keep updating, which is cool because with the Rome twitter you are talking to Laurent or Bjorn or Marie or Eiki they all use it. We want to do more interaction with riders and so after the success of the rider interviews we decided we should do some product ones, last minute it was decided to throw me to the wolves first to test it out and see if kids would care about someone other than a pro rider. It seemed to work pretty well and I got a ton of questions so that's pretty cool, We'll probably have one about board tech specifically camber, maybe one about graphics, and of course some more pro interviews…If I had to do one I'm not letting Marie get away without doing one HA!
Shay: In the twitter interview, if there one question you wished you had received?
John: Man…that's a good question….I guess I would have maybe liked to say something about my influences. I am a huge fan of The Garden I think every snowboarder should see that movie. Recently I read some website making fun of people who answer with that movie as their influence and it bummed me out. The Garden has fun with friends, it has travel, it has love of snowboarding, and at the time it was mind blowing with the progression that happened in it, plus it had a super creative vibe all of these things are what I try to aspire to when I make shred movies. I can still watch it today and get hyped. I also grew up in Mass so I was lucky enough to come up with a real shop Eastern Boarder they were and still are no joke, snowboarding and skateboarding come first to them and they were/are like a family I hope that aspect of snowboarding, the real true shop, never goes away
Shay: Downloading and pirating snowboard films has increased, how do you feel about snowboard films being downloaded instead of being bought?
John: Man I'm getting hammered here with these questions one right after another HA. Here goes, there are kids that will argue that we should be giving away all our films for free or simply asking for a donation. I want to back over those kids with my truck repeatedly. They have said things about the bigger film companies like "they are the man" "they are new Hollywood" "they need to get with the times and understand that kids don't want to pay for snowboard videos" "Any kid with a lap top can make a movie these days, so no one is going to pay for them anymore" I'm the first to admit I'm kind of a snowboard video nerd, I have a ridiculous snowboard movie collection and honestly I have paid for nearly 90% of those films. Even now when I get videos sent to me by my friends I still usually buy them in shops because I'm so anxious to see them that I usually don't want to wait. The whole experience of seeing a movie for the first time and rewinding tricks back and seeing new things I love every part of that. So I have a problem to begin with with getting some version of it online, but the thing I have the most problem with is the fact that it's stealing 100% and why someone doesn't understand that that's what they are doing is unfathomable to me. Can you walk into a skateboard shop and take a skateboard and "donate" 5 dollars for it, No you can't. why on earth would you reason that you can do that with films. Maybe I'm just not cool, but another thing I don't understand is why do you upload it in the first place, does your life suck that much that the only satisfaction you can find in your miserable existence is uploading someone's work so other people can download it for free. I mean come on get a life, put down the jack rags and realize that cyber kudos from dipshitslasher69 aren't real.
What's even worse for me is this fact. I work for a brand, I don't work for simply a film production company, at the end of the day if my film is "stolen" and uploaded online and then downloaded a thousand times, Rome isn't getting the profit we would have gotten through video sales but our name and our brand is still getting out there. It sucks and I'm morally against it but it's not death for us. It is death for film companies however, they make no profit, they don't gain anything by having it out there, so it is just bad. Without making any money and when I say making money it's really a wrong statement because we're really talking about breaking even, but without getting money you can't progress, you can't afford to travel and film the things that make snowboard movies special, and when this happens than yes the statement made that any kid can edit a movie on a lap top is so true because we will be saturated with mediocre films shot in the park at Big bear and they'll all look the same. What's funny is these same little kids that write these dumb diatribes about how movies should all be free will be the same kids complaining when the shred films start to suck.
Shay: Do you feel there are any measures that can be taken to decrease downloads?
John: People aren't gonna like this, but probably the best way to decrease illegal downloads and the line of thinking that everything should be free is to stop with all of the 150 new snowboard videos a year. When I started making films I did an east coast film, at the time there were two movies in the east coast (probably two to many, but still just 2) now there's like thirty something…..Fucking eh, thirty something movies about one scene…..there's little johnnie's productions and aunt millie's films and Brutus the Barber beefcake visuals everything just gets lost and saturated, If you had the Absinthe movie and say the People movie each year and then every few years you had a brand put out a video and then sprinkle in a couple small ones, than things would be much more special, you'd feel like you have to buy that movie to see what's new and what went down. I think that using Itunes also legitimates a lot of films cause you can't really steal it and you have to have all of the music rights. I don't know , I guess the key to surviving will be adapting….I've also heard that Fully Flared re-established some shops faith in selling movies again so I guess that could be a good sign.
Shay: How was the transition moving from west to east?
John: Good question, but I'm from the east coast…I'm a masshole I lived in NH and VT for a bit and then I moved to mammoth for a few years to work for Grenade and then Mongo, I was kind of a vagabond for a bit and then Rome's Marketing Manager Ryan Runke lured me back to the east coast to work at Rome, I was excited to be back on the ice coast. No disrespect to the rest of the country but people are a little more real here, which I think is a reason why all the east coasters tend to stick together when we are out west. The saying is definitely true about the east if you can figure out how to ride here you can figure out how to ride anywhere Jake Blauvelt, the Kass brothers, Clancy, Pat Moore, and a little guy named Todd Richards have all seemed to do just fine coming from here.

Your metaphor or analogy (whatever, I'm not an english major) of stealing a skateboard compared to downloading a digital copy of a movie is pretty poor;
1. the manufacturer PAID to create that individual snowboard – each pirated DL cost you nothing…
2. The skateboard thief is NOT going to go back into a skate shop and buy the same deck that he stole – music and video pirates do frequently buy the product that they previously downloaded. *a dl does not = a lost sale*
The fact of the matter is that filesharing technology does exist and is incredibly efficient – so the choice is yours, do you deny the technology and get on the music industry bandwagon and call for lawsuits and jail time for your FANS or do you figure out a creative and innovative way that your FANS can enjoy your product?
Oh and I felt this comment was WAY OUT OF LINE;
"does your life suck that much that the only satisfaction you can find in your miserable existence is uploading someone's work so other people can download it for free."
Is this anyway to address a FAN, a SUPPORTER of your brand? Please re-think your statement. This person is someone who purchased your product and was so pumped about it that he wants to share it with other people. Is it really that much different than this person buying your product and going around town showing it to friends? (I understand it is quite different but I think my point is still there)
September 28, 2009
Hey Martin!
Well as I understand your point to an extent (because we have all downloaded something off the internet so I'm not going to say I've never done it) BUT John's point was simply to show the process and HOW MUCH WORK goes into making a film and producing it. All the time spent filming and creating ideas in order to tie all those video parts in with art and music and just overall flow. That is what grinds most peoples gears (on the filmer/producer side) when people say DL'ing isn't a big deal it doesn't hurt anyone when in reality it does. Maybe you don't see it because you aren't the one spending those cold nights filming, taking photos and editing all the parts from the entire season until 6am 2 mornings later. People like John work incredibly hard to produce a movie that people get stoked on! And in all honesty if you are that stoked on the video, on the product don't download it! Show your support by SUPPORTING that company and buy the film! And this could be any company not just Rome!
Anyways keep it real!
Shred on and the season is right around the corner!
So happy trails all.

How can a pirated download not coast Rome or any other company nothing…? They lost the sale. Do you understand math? Illegal = Illegal. It doesn't matter how you spin it.
September 28, 2009
Know your crowd.
Most kids out there pirating shred flicks probably wouldn't be able to pay the 30 bucks they cost anyway.
Speaking for myself, I haven't bought (nor pirated) a shred flick in quite a while now, because they're just too expensive for me (and I have to get them shipped over-sees). Having to settle for teasers and youtube is annoying, but better than nothing.
Just my two cents.
September 28, 2009
solid interview shay (and cavan)… interesting thoughts on the ball park "controversy". hot dawg!
September 28, 2009
Jon Lerch-
Thanks for the non bashing response. I understand what you are saying about on how much effort goes into making the film. I can barely imagine picking out a team of riders, locations then coordinating all that with the weather, airlines, film crews and other transportation… actually I cant get past picking out a team. As far as the whole video and photo editing… geez it took me like 4 hours to discover I cant make a favicon icon.
The reality is that some people may not show you how stoked they are on your video because they cannot offer to buy it. Wouldn't it be better for them in this circumstance to dl, watch it, be stoked and then spread the word to friends for them also to be stoked and even generate a sale by having gotten his friend stoked on the movie? Or should he just wonder if its a good movie, think about how it would be nice if he could watch it, then go do something else and never think about that film again?
just saying man — i fully believe that if people dl it, like it and can afford it they should go to the store a buy it so that you guys can keep making more!
You obviously don't know anything about the subject. Just because someone DL's the video does not mean that they would have purchased it.. Get this-
1 man + $0 + 24 hours + 1 computer + 1 internet connection = 10 free downloaded shred movies
1 man + $0 + 24 hours + 1 computer + 1 internet connection = 10 purchased shred movies
so by that your logic; 10 free downloaded shred flicks = 10 purchased ones
how does this man purchase those 10 free flicks with $0.. thats right he wouldnt, which means the company did NOT loose a sale… Do you understand math??
I agree with you completely man and when I do have an extra $30 for snowboarding I like to stick it into my 2009 rome artifact jar because I need another board more than I do a movie. I also finding just watching utube clips and teasers gets old too… i would like to see a video company start putting out some of their older videos online for us to watch
September 28, 2009
Calling your biggest fans poor losers who can't afford to buy stuff. Smart.
September 28, 2009
Suppose I download Videograss. Does that mean that I will not buy it? No, I might buy it. I also might not buy it. Whether or not I intend to purchase the movie is not dependent on whether or not I downloaded it.
Why do you feel so entitled to MY money?
"You should all purchase my movie because if you don't, you're making me lose a sale!"
It's not YOUR decision how I spend my money.
Stop thinking about lost sales; start thinking about gaining sales.
September 29, 2009
Lets keep in mind that the snowboarding community is very much an international community and while you might be able to say that in the United States "Downloading is illegal, plain and simple" that same statement does not apply to all other countries.
September 29, 2009
Hey there, thanks for taking the time to respond to this in a clear matter, so many times the issue of illegal downloading is just a yelling match between people who have no intent to hear the other sides view. Everything I said in Shay's interview I meant…I may have come off a little harsh…kind of on purpose though to make a point. I do believe my analogy of the skateboard in a shop was pretty much right on. What concerns me is that for some reason it has become accepted as people are doing you a favor when they buy a movie…..I'm not sure when this line of thinking started or why it did, but film makers photographers and brands are providing a service….We are in a sense producing a product for the viewers enjoyment. Why then is it acceptable to simply take that product when you want it or when you want to "see if you want it" The statement "why do you think you are entitled to MY money" makes absolutely no sense to me…..
Martin and Jon' points however on international downloads raise a very good point however, I know in my own work We have done a poor job at getting our videos viewed outside of North America, I think for our next project we will be focusing quite a bit of effort on Europe, Japan, and australia. Offering a download for a reasonable price that is available at the same time all around the world, could help this.
As far as addressing negativity and not appreciating "fans" or "supporters" I think anyone who knows me knows that I appreciate anyone that watches anything I make or any snowboard films in general for that matter…I'd never try to piss off a supporter what I'm merely trying to do is raise awareness that what you are doing IS hurting our industry and hurting it a lot. The line of thinking that you are doing me a favor by buying my movie just doesn't make any sense…I can go and do something else…but what will be left in a few years when all of the larger film crews and companies that support these films go and do something else…? Movies like That's it That's All, People, The Absinthe films, even older ones like Robotfood and the Holden movies cost money to make, they don't just make themselves…Music alone for these films are expensive….If there is no hope at all of the producers getting any kind of money back to recoup some of the money that sponsorship and marketing dollars don't cover, than we won't be left with any movies that change or really inspire. I admit I could be just a crusty dude holding on to the old ways, but I don't think I really am…and I'll really hate saying "I told you so" in a few years.
Thanks Martin and Jon for taking the time to respond and once again sorry if I offended you, I just tend to answer things pretty honestly and straight forward! – Cavan

For everyone that feels like their entitled to steal someone elses work, think about the simple way the world tends to work. Typically, whatever it is you do you get paid for it. You might be a painter, a doctor, change oil, anything..it all comes down to you get paid for your hard work. If you steal the work of someone who has spent countless hours working on a video or music then maybe you should extend your services for free to anyone that can't afford it too. Come paint my house..for free. An oil change is roughly the cost of a dvd..I'd like it..for free. There you go. Now we all have no income. How wonderful it would be to all trade services and barter. But it's not the case at all. The fact that people just think their entitled to things is a problem. I would bet that some of the downloaders also are not stoked to have their hard work and EARNED money be heavily taxed and taken and given to slackers in the country too that could work but don't. You work hard…now that guy wants your money to help him out..for FREE. Lame. Think about it. I saw that you have a new bike in your shed..I can't buy one so I guess I'll just ride yours and keep it. Thanks.

Martin is right when he says that downloading is not necessarily illegal in countries other than the United States. In Canada, for example, we pay levies on blank media which goes to the Canadian equivalent of the RIAA and MPAA which are supposed to then distribute those levies to the artists. This is why you never hear about Canadians getting sued for illegal downloads because the courts have deemed that, because of those levies, downloading is not illegal (however, uploading is).
That being said, I've never downloaded a snowboarding video, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that those who do are scum. The people who produced G.I. Joe are scum (I was convinced to go see that movie and wanted to blow my brains out throughout), they are the ones who make me want to download movies because I feel like an ass for having paid $10 to see G.I. Joe and want to avoid similar situations in the future. Fortunately, the snowboard video industry hasn't digressed to that level yet (where you have to lower your expectations so much that you wind up staring up at your own asshole) and I'll continue to buy snowboard videos to support the filmmakers and hope that we never see a G.I. Shred. However, if I ever wind up purchasing a G.I. Shred, then you can bet that I'll be getting my BitTorrents started to screen future purchases.
September 29, 2009
glad people (well… some) can have a normal discussion about downloading.
and i do have to admit, shred flicks are pretty pricey. i can go buy a big budget hollywood dvd that came out 6 months ago for 10 bucks. if only we could convice theaters and fellow riders to go see these riding movies in the theaters instead of gi joe, maybe they'll make enough coin off those rights to bring the prices down on the dvd's…. thats to you marc! shesh… gi joe….
ah well. don't think that will be happening anytime soon. until then, i'll check out the teasers and buy any expensive ones that really turn my crank and anything that is ten bucks! until then, turn up the good and i'll open my wallet for ya!

I must say I think your response in the Ball Park Frank(from now on know as BPF) situation is a total cop out and ass kiss to transworld. Do I understand it? Yes, why would you bash one of your biggest exposure mediums. Saying anything other than you did and actually having an opinion would be a shot in your own foot.
But I must disagree with your comment about relying on Annie and Nick and crew to maintain journalistic and moral integrity for an editorial magazine. Simply put in this tough time they are merely trying to maintain their paycheck and do as much as possible to keep money coming into the magazine anyway they can. Transworld is the biggest bully around threatening contributors, bullying photographers into giving "FREE" photos for their website, and getting all pissy when anyone isn't sucking their knob….
September 29, 2009
My comment was about pirated downloads, which are illegal, in any country. The dvds are IP (Intellectual properties) which are covered by international copyright laws. Again, an Illegal download is an illegal download. The type of download you write about I have never encountered.
September 29, 2009
Yikes….."Ball Park" I must commend you on having the balls to use your real name…You want to make sure the mag guys know just which photographer they really were "bullying"…. I mean you want to get that straightened right out….Errr wait you didn't do that…. you seem like you are really burned about something:
" Transworld is the biggest bully around threatening contributors, bullying photographers into giving "FREE" photos for their website, and getting all pissy when anyone isn't sucking their knob…."
– what does this have to do with the "BPF" I'm not going to debate you about photographers rights and all that shit, there are plenty others that are much better qualified to do that, I really have no idea about any of that stuff, other than the day to day shit of actually being in the snow with the riders and photogs. Please don't use my answer about something unrelated as a way to air your grievances at a particular mag or photo editor
As far as "Copping" out…I don't think I really did that…I blamed a bit of it on the graphic design….and I also said that I think it's a big deal being made out of nothing…I'm sorry I'm not taking your side of it and I'm sorry you'd like me to have said something different, but it's how I feel…and quite honestly it's how a lot of people feel. "Saying anything other than you did and actually having an opinion would be a shot in your own foot." – man I think I did state my opinion, and again I just don't think you liked it….. thanks for the concern – Cavan

Personally, I didn't notice the Ball Park placement on the cover. I think they may have gotten more value for their brand by simply putting a colored image saying "Presented by Ball Park Franks," but that's my opinion.
Why is action sports the only industry where we don't want outsiders sponsoring events and competitions? There's a way to grow without selling out. You don't see baseball fans freaking because billboards in the outfield are paid for by banks or beverage brands. If we relied solely on the endemic brands to keep action sports afloat, we'd be a much smaller industry.
If anyone thinks they can do a better job than Transworld (or any other shred-focused media outlet, print or online) at this time, then they should go ahead and do it. It's probably easy and extremely lucrative.
September 29, 2009
I didn't and wouldn't expect you to voice any other opinion than the one you have for the mere reason it would shoot yourself in the foot. Not a huge a cop out if you ask me but it does go against the whole Rome theme(anti corporate, non conforming, raw), but at the same time understandable and vital to your brand and your own survival, so nothing personal here. I'd probably say the same.
I believe brooke reported this past spring on Transworld not paying photographers for web contributions. http://brookegeery.com/?p=406, the only reason I related this to your meek response on the BPF shit is I believe too many people(myself included) will put up with this shit and kiss ass to guys like transworld.
Upon further thought I will commend you calling out the graphic design, bold and honest. I do think the whole logo thing hasn't been made a big enough of a deal.
Transworld and similar magazines are assumed to be editorial in nature. Part of conforming to the editorial standard is not manipulating photos in any shape or form that distorts reality(ie making a logo appear as it was on the dumpster). When you start compromising the sanctity of this nature your viewer isn't going to have a clue as to what is real and what is "enhanced". Slowly I believe this is going to lead to the demise of editorial print and magazines will end up just being 8 issues a year of whoring out product. Which I guess some companies maybe want??
And just out of nowhere I do think your thoughts on illegal downloading/piracy are valid and support you!

I don't think anyone has a problem with no endemic companies sponsoring the media and athletes. The problem more in fact has to that snowboard magazines are presumed editorial in nature and the content needs to follow editorial guidelines. Plain and simple.
Transworld did not and probably for a pretty penny made the logo appear as it was part of the scene, which it was not.
There is already a magazine that does a better job and that is Frequency.

When they broadcast Baseball games on television, has anyone ever noticed that they'll often put blue or green screens behind home plate so they can overlay local, targeted, advertising on the television broadcast? I've often wondered why the hell Canadian Tire was advertising at Fenway Park only to realize, while watching the highlights on the sports news, that there aren't actually any advertisements there or they are different. Isn't this exactly the same as what Transworld did with the BPF? This seems to have become common and endemic in modern media. Snowboard media is no different and perhaps they are just trying to keep up… just throwing that out there.
Ball Park: Frequency is the best snowboarding magazine ever!

i agree the ballpark cover was bullshit. i noticed how lame and photo shopped it was when i picked it up on the stand. aside from the ballpark interviews….. the worst thing i have ever seen in a copy of tws. i feel for the photog as his work has been grossly distorted….. i would be curious to know if he knew it was gonna be "logo-ed up" ha.
as for the movies and piracy…. i agree. i buy every major movie every year. i am a video nerd and do enjoy them and want to see them keep coming. downloading= no production companies in the longrun. choose wisely and support real snowboards who own shops and production companies.
on the flipside.. i am a shop owner who does love doing business and keeping the doors open. i can say that the stepchild/ 32 free download is generating alot of sales for those brands. they were the first to drop their movies and kids were hyped. stepchild at the moment is the #1 selling brand so far this season….. alot of the sales conversations started with kids bringing up the movie. 32 delivered a week or so later…. but we are seeing the same results.
my shop is snowboarder owned and see myself doing business while at the same time helping other snowboarders in this industry stokes me out.
we downplay downloading dvd's to our customers….. but we walk a fine line. i do believe it's lame. it sucks. people are losing their jobs….. snowboarders are losing their jobs. some "snowboarders" could care less…… some of my customers could care less…. we try to convert them and to see the light.
shops need to not be afraid to "stand up" to thier customers….. when a kids is bummed that yan dofin isn't on rome anymore…. but were stoked that they downloaded the last rome movie…… need to be told that buying a dvd may have helped a small part in keeping yan's job off the chopping block.
long winded….. sorry. but amazing work john…… our rome rep derek hale came buy the shop and saturday to meet the shop kids and see how things were going….. another shred with a job…..
October 04, 2009
sorry for the bad grammer shay.

John Cavan is a pompous jerk. Anyone who has met him will understand, he is full of himself. Another part of Rome that is completely contradictory. What a shame…
October 05, 2009
just curious why there was never any mention of Jonaven beeing cut?
October 05, 2009
I think any "Team" Video should be free. It just makes sense. Paying thirty bucks for a team movie just seems ridiculous. I know they put in the money, but there are ways to make it more valuable to sponsors than trying to get kids to pay 30 dollars for it. No wonder numbers aren't great. Make it free, make it a download and you won't have to loose sleep over people pirating it and you can use the insane number of downloads in your sponsor deck next year. instead of 15,000 sales we had 215,00 downloads. Which do you think sponsors want to hear?
Also, as you may have guessed I have a little bit of personal grip with ROME. I have submitted footage that has been used in the last 2 movies on the premise of per shot payment and/or goods in exchange. I never got a thing, not even the respect of an email back, so yeah I HAVE BOTH THE ROME MOVIES ON FILE AND I DIDNT PAY FOR SHIT!!! THANK YOU!
October 05, 2009
I've met John and if I said he was a pompous jerk it would be because of his fidelity to the Celtics and not because of his attitude.
And about downloading… Snowboarding movies cost a lot of money to make with travel, salaries, equipment, etc. (plus they're stressful as hell to produce) and a lot of times when some of your favorite movies throw in the towel, it could have been prevented if some people who downloaded it would just purchase it instead.
October 05, 2009
"Team Video" I don't really follow your rationale it doesn't really make any kind of real world business sense. I've also worked with Cavan and Rome on both Rome films (and other films) what shots did u film? that doesn't seem like a real story……Just saying
October 05, 2009
jonovan was prob rome's worst cut in their short time as a company. a rider like jonovan only gets better over time. well said ballpark. you sound like someone i might know…….
October 06, 2009
Cavan a pompous jerk? He's probably the most down-to-earth dude in the industry.
October 07, 2009
Yeah I don't think you can put the words "pompous and jerk" in the same sentence when speaking about Cavan
October 08, 2009
Mike, I like Cavan as well. He is a cool guy that paid his dues. He has my respect. However, the industry is changing and the faster people get with it the better off they'll be. Hard copy DVD's are doomed and everyone knows it. Stop charging kids so much and increase your numbers. It's simple, practical and solution providing scenario to make it a download. Shit charge, 1.99 if you have to.
Also, I'm not going to list off what shots were miine, that would be pretty telling of who I am and obviously I don't want them to know. I don't care enough to bitch and complain to them, just a point that they get lots of footy for free and whining about people stealing from them is extremely contradicting when they are stealing from other people who were told that they'd be "working" for them. I'm over it, but yeah, would never buy a ROME movie, especially a ROME product. I don't have time or cash to burn on a company that has lost control over their rapid growth.

I recently made the decision to convert my fun bike (2011 Trek Remedy 9.9) over to 1×10. While I really enjoy the bike as it is now, on our local trails with the standard 2×10 that came with it, I found I spent a lot of time in the "wrong gear" as I felt I was either too fast for the little ring or the short steep sections were too much for the big ring.
I have an X0 2X crank on the bike, so the 120/80 BCD spiders did not give me very many options, especially to keep a nice chain line, but thankfully MRP created the "Bling Ring" for my situation; a chain line offset single ring that replaces the spider on my crank. (disclaimer: I paid full retail for the MRP parts in this article) It was very easy to install and works great. It took me a while of messing with gear ratios/calculators to settle on the 30T ring. While the standard 1×10 front ring is a 32, with the longer rides that I do and steep terrain of our area, I thought the 32T would be too much. With the 30T, I give up only my previous shortest and 2 tallest gears. There are hardly any times when I was in the 11 or 12 tooth rear with the 39T front big ring, or in my granniest of granny's (26T front/36T rear), so I figured this was a good compromise. The below chart shows the gearing on the 30T with the shortest (36T) and tallest (11T) gears, as compared to my 2×10 on the 2nd shortest (32T) and 3rd tallest (14T).
The front is a bit more complicated as I needed some chain retention. A few weeks ago I converted to the SRAM X9 Type 2 rear derailleur and it's worked very well. It does a good job of eliminating chain slap and retention on the bottom, but I still need something for the top to keep the chain from bouncing off the top of the front ring. The Remedy has a direct mount FD and a press in BB, which eliminated most of the common simple chain retention devices out there. Again MRP came to the rescue with the MRP 1X Direct Mount guide. This is a simple guide that attaches where the front FD used to. Took a light bit of filing work to get the guide low enough for my 30T ring, as MRP recommends it only for a 32T or bigger, but it worked out.
I have to say that I fell in love all over again with my Remedy. 1×10 is so simple and takes a lot of thinking out of riding. It almost gives me that single speed feel in a way. Super quiet, no chain slap, and not much to think about. Wanna go faster? couple of clicks, want to go slower? couple of clicks. No need to worry about cross chaining, chain slap, chain suck. I haven't run out of gear yet on single track anywhere. Doing some gravel road descents I have spun out, but this is the "fun" bike after all. If I'm going > 20mph I'll either let gravity take me faster or just relax on the pedals. I would highly recommend the 1×10 setup to anyone trying to take some weight off their trail bike or looking for something a little simpler.

Poor Ayckbourn. The British playwright has turned out a string of increasingly dark, provocative comedies. Yet the few U.S. productions of his work tend to reinforce his outdated reputation as the British Neil Simon. Yes, Communicating Doors, now on display in a sprightly off-Broadway staging, is a relatively playful piece. A hooker (Mary-Louise Parker) gets called in to service an old geezer, who promptly confesses that he had his first two wives killed. She flees into a closet, doors spin, and we are transported to the same room 20 years earlier--then 20 years before that. The time-travel gimmick is fun but...

Former Redskins safety Sean Taylor to be featured on 'A Football Life'
"A Football Life," a documentary series on the NFL Network, will feature former Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor this fall, reports the Washington Post.
According to the report, the program is scheduled to air Sept. 26.
More: Washington appeals Patent Office trademark ruling on team name
Taylor was shot and killed in November 2007 after burglars broke into his South Florida home while he was home asleep with his girlfriend and young daughter.
One man was sentenced to 57.5 years in prison for shooting Taylor, another man received a life sentence for first-degree felony murder and armed burglary and three others are waiting trial.
Taylor was drafted by Washington in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft, after an All-American season at Miami. He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and the team inducted him into their Ring of Fame in 2008.

text: Criminal Minds Season 8 Review "Zugzwang" January 16, 2013 Criminal Minds, Reviews Criminal Minds returned tonight with their first episode of 2013; The peculiarly titled "Zugzwang". Not only was this one of the best episodes of the season, but a powerful and gut-wrenching episode for everybody's favorite character: Reid. We kick off tonight's episode with a very strange dream sequence involving Reid marrying his mystery woman, with the whole BAU team in attendance no less! It's very rare for this show to have such different scenes visually, so it's always nice when we have something that feels new. Well Spencer quickly wakes up and takes a nice walk to a nearby pay phone to talk to his mystery lady, and he finds out that she's been kidnapped! What follows is a riveting race against time as Reid tries to save Maeve from her deadly stalker. I didn't really care that much about the wellbeing of Maeve at first, just because we didn't know her too well from only seeing her once before, but I really did care after seeing how much it was tearing up Reid. We so rarely see Reid emotionally react to anything, so seeing him so invested in this case that he could barely think straight was very distressing. The team quickly finds out that Maeve is being stalked by a woman, and it's played by none other than Michelle Trachtenberg. Most people would recognize Trachtenberg from playing Dawn on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but now she's playing a character that's supposed to be hatable and frustrating! Maeve is again played by Beth Riesgraf from Leverage, and she did a great job, but it looks like we aren't going to be enjoying her performances anymore. I was genuinely surprised that they made the choice to kill off Spencer's love interest, and it was definitely a gut-wrenching shock to see it happen. I'm hoping that Reid can overcome this heartbreak quickly and that he finds happiness with some woman, as it seems like this guy always has had bad luck with the fairer sex. It's very daring for a show like Criminal Minds to dive so deeply into a serialized story line like this. The reason that Criminal Minds has done so well on CBS for the past eight years is that you don't have to watch past episodes to enjoy a new one. It's a great procedural, but it's still just that: A procedural. So I give Criminal Minds a lot of credit for giving us a great resolution to an ongoing story from two previous episodes. I'm really hoping we see more of this as the show goes on, as it's a great way to reward long-time viewers like us for keeping up with the show and their characters. Random Thoughts: – The director for tonight's installment, Jesse Warn, also directed two other great Criminal Minds episodes: Season seven's "Closing Time" and season six's "Hanley Waters". – How is it that all of these criminal masterminds can afford these secondary dwellings to keep their victims? Somehow Michelle can afford a nice little apartment in DC and a loft to keep Maeve and Bobby?! I had the same complaint about Ray Speltzer in the last season of Dexter.

As a long time fan, I'm frankly a bit pissed off. Giraffey I agree, it seems odd to have spent so long building up someone we hadn't seen at all only to kill them off like that. Jennifer N Andrew Schreffler I agree and really hope she's not accually dead. CapnFoo This is ridiculous. One of the reasons why I love Criminal Minds so much is that not every episode has a happy ending. It's just not realistic to have them catch the bad guy in every episode or save the victims life every time. These characters need to go through heartbreak in order to develop. This is very similar to when they killed off Hotchner's wife. That episode was fantastic and has added so much depth to that character. I expect the same to come for Reid. beninabox How are they going to deal with Reid? It's bad enough when extroverted socially skilled macho characters lose loves. Reid would be permanently scarred, become really withdrawn. And because of his own role in it, a guilt (reasonable or not) that won't quit. Talk about PTSD!! I'm afraid the writers won't really be able to cope with the effect on him and will either find a way to paper it over or write him out of the show, last scene being a padded cell. CapnFoo I think you underestimate how strong of a character Reid is. In the show, he has already dealt with a bad drug addiction, and was raised by a schizophrenic. He sees death everyday and although this is a lot to deal with, I doubt they will paper over it or write him off the show. Emma The ending made me angry. I love this show, but I think this was my least favorite episode that they've ever made Jessica Arrieta Cantillo An excellent episode, I connected to it from beginning to end. It was very heartbreaking finish, but felt that this would be the conclusion months ago, and I have not lost hope that Reid happy with a woman, just spend some time. I do not believe in that kind of idyllic love story presented Maeve and Reid, I prefer a mature woman, unlike him, let him mature, and its complement is not a carbon copy of Reid. lili I don't believe she's dead. I can't believe it! Reid deserves love! Besides, I don't think they would bring in an actress from another show just to kill her off after a few appearances. Also, she told Reid something at the end and we never understood what that meant. I think she survived!!! Jamiem The quote was referring to the Thomas Merton quote she had written in The Narrative of John Smith book she gave to Reid. The quote was: "Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone. We find it with another."I don't know if she lived or not, but I sure hope so. Either way, the ending was great, if gut-wrenching, and whether she survived or not, it certainly makes for good TV, so I see why they did that. TISA AT THE DIANA ASK REID U WILL DIE FOR HE SAID YES BUT SHE WHISPER NO THEN SHE MENTION THOMAS DIANA WHO THOMAS SHE SAID HE KNOWS LOOK AT EACH OTHER SHE SAID THAT'S THE ONE THING THEYCANT TAKE FROM US REID KNEW.REID WOULD DIE FOR HER AND SHE DIE FOR HIM SHE WAS SAYING GOODBYE Caryn Rae Kight Ya know, there wasn't an end quote. Therefore it can't be the end! Jack Davis That's because everyone was so devastated that they were at a loss for words. Ola When hotch's wife died and the whole series finally called " to hell and back" both of those episodes were horribly tragic and yet there was always an ending quote. I hated this episode with a passion, why build up to something just for to kill her in the end? So you get a lot of views and critics for this episode but what are you going to do next? Reid isn't hotch, at least hotch and his wife were separated they tried and had some time together but Reid didn't. All he got was one look at her before she died. The writers screwed up big time with this. if Reid doesn't end up going psychotic, or a twisted character in the show i have no clue anymore. but i do agree that she is dead because in caption for the next episode is that the BAU go another crime scene while Reid deals with the loss of his girlfriend. Jack Davis If there had been ANY hope of Maeve's surviving, Morgan would have been radioing frantically: "I need a medic up here!"…or…"I need an ambulance here." And maybe an ambulance or EMTs should have been at the tail end of the BAU convoy, seeing as they knew it was a hostage situation. Anyway, the unseen damage to Maeve's head must have been so severe that no one even bent down to check her pulse. Once again, Breen Frazier delivered superlative writing. Sheila Frenchman I've been watching this show for the 8 seasons it's been on and each one is better than the last, too bad about Maeve but this is what keeps you watching, what will happen next… Tom Bryant I thought the episode was awful. It is getting tiresome how that everyone in the team has to either be shot or have someone they love get killed or their child kidnapped or an ex-wife killing herself. I think the actor has already told them he's leaving and this is the only way they can think of to give him an exit. Paula Cheryl Roesch The actor just signed a brand new 2 year contract. He isn't leaving. Rockhound0508 I thought it was one of the best EPs of CM. Painful and so emotionally charged! Jenna Let hope the writers' write a better storyline for Reid than they did for Hotch. It seemed like Hotch picked himself up the next week after Haley death as though she had no baring on his life. Not to mention bring up a child on his own made no impact on his work schedule. TISA THAT WASN'T FAIR I FEEL FOR REID AND SAD WHY U KILL HER OFF LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF REID I MEAN THEY DIDN'T HAVE THEIR FIRST DATE YET I WAS SO PISS WHY DO THAT TO HIM.WHY THAT'S MY QUESTION WHY Debbie I set my alarm so I don't miss the new episodes. I watch the reruns just about every evening. I have each season's DVDs. And I don't know if I'll watch next weeks episode. I thought this would be a great season with Spencer and now I'm just angry. Ola This episode was amazing….until the last 30 seconds. They ruined the series for me with this stupid excuse of an ending!!! Why? Reid is an amazing character but up until now he had no relation ship in the series, and when he does everyone is happy for him. A finally was common among Criminal minds fans, we wanted to see him with a girl at his level and she fit the part perfectly. So again i ask you why? He barely even got to meet her left alone only seeing her for the first time before she died. I'm really hoping that she isn't dead, and that's why their was no ending quote as per usual… but i think it's a lost cause. The second episode hints at her death and reid taking time to try and sort through it but can he? I think reid character is going to change dramatically, i though he was leaving but he isn't so either he become mentally unhinged or he's going to be a darker character from now on. The writers really fu*ked up with this episode, they would have done better had they left her alive. One crazy ending isn't going to increase the shows notoriety instead if you kept the love interest alive, that would have kept the views higher as fans would keep coming back to see what happened with reid and his girlfriend. They were the fresh air this show desperately needed but now i'm afraid it's going to be the sore in it's feet. You serious ruined the show for me in this episode and now i'm scared for what reid will become. If my predictions become true i won't watch this who again and simply believe that it ended the episode before this. You shouldn't have screwed up so badly, either fix it and make her still alive or don't fuck up reids character!! he's my favourite and now u ruined him! 🙁 beninabox Aside from it being a pretty cruel ending, have the writers though about how they're going to deal with the aftermath? Reid is going to be a total basket case for a long long long time. Definite permanent damage. They can't un-ring this bell unless they do something really cheap. alabama worst ever episode why in the world would they do that?????

I always want to tell the stories. But i still not a good storyteller. Or maybe i am but in others way. So, here is what i will tell you about my thoughts on this dress.
|Wedges UP, Dress Zalora, Shirt F21
Maybe you don't need to think really hard to find out about life.
Maybe you don't need to look too far to know what you want.
Maybe you don't need to care too much what people think.
Maybe you just need to know how simple life is.
You don't need to push your life so hard.
Maybe you just need to open your eyes to look it.
Life is not blind.
Love also.

There is a trick to creating the perfect Hindu wedding video. For Rini and Sai it was in combining the spiritual elements to their Hindu wedding along with a feel-good fun-factor. Their day had a grandiose setting which felt altogether more intimate and personal. Starting the day at silly o'clock in the morning, it was a non-stop day which was immensely fun. This was our first attempt at creating a Hindu wedding video and like with all our wedding films, we prepared ourselves for all the little details which any couple lovingly spend on. Never before had we filmed a ceremony which was so rich in detail so we had to keep our wits about us at all times. Even though filming the ceremony was exhausting you get a real buzz from all the non-stop action!
Along for the ride was the wonderful Sheraz who was awesome on the day and is an awesome photographer to boot. Throughout the day it felt as if Rini, Sai, Sheraz and I were some sort of quirky little family. Even though the occasion was dipped in tradition we culdn't help but all laugh and crack jokes at every opportunity.
Mathurini and Sai didn't want a traditional Hindu wedding videographer for their day. So they put a great deal of faith in our ability to create something beautiful and personal to them. The result has left a wonderful friendship from this very special occasion.

Some people set their systems to 32K per disc at the SAN, then get Oracle to do 1MB direct reads and wonder why things don't work well. It seems that many suppliers can't go higher than 1MB per disc (at least, whenever I've been on site asking what the maximum is, I've invariably been told that it's 1MB). This means a typical 1MB read will activate two discs - but since many S/As then decide to put a filesystem stripe on top of the SAN stripe, who knows what else can go wrong.

Brothel Books was the short-lived publishing arm of The Poetry Brothel. The Poetry Brothel has long been a proponent of bringing poetry to the masses–-exclusively, and with absolute discretion. Likewise, The Poetry Brothel's publishing arm, Brothel Books, published the most intimate, most charming, and most crafted works we could find by The Poetry Brothel's poets across the globe.
The poems that we want are those that touch our nerves and our hearts and make us want to throw your book across the room because it's so damn good. Poems that are aware of, instructed by, and in awe of what has come before them, both historically and in terms of literary tradition. Poems we like are often obsessed with myth, foreign languages, and our fathers. Bring orange groves to New York City, the epistolary language of turn-of-the-century Paris to an email exchange, or a fight with your boyfriend to pre-Roman Gaul. Poems that import and export imagery, but handle it carefully. We want to publish poets who are honest with themselves and the world about who they are, such that they can just as easily go with or without a mask. We want the poems you would hide from your mother if you could, but you wouldn't. There must be a brazenness about even the most quiet works. Still, we don't want poetry that steps on you. It ought to step over you while you pretend to be asleep, so you can't help but look up its skirt.
Poems that take linguistic and personal risks feel more important to us. The ground covered by a poem willing to say, literally, anything in order to relay the poet's unique experience provide more, in our opinion, than poems that employ safe conventions and are only willing to exist within a accepted set of social morays. Fearlessness, in other words, or fearlessness imbued with sincere vulnerability, interests us deeply.

UOC-MP, UOC-KP & UAOC reps+officials discussed reuniting Ukrainian Church
Expand Messages
- Unedited machine translation
02/07/2013 thirty-eight past three p.m.
Uzhgorod: representatives of the UOC-MP, UOC-KP and UAOC along with officials discussed the program of reuniting Ukrainian Church
Round table "Ways of overcoming religious division and unification of the Churches in Ukraine" was held in Uzhgorod on June 27 with the blessing of the Primate of the UOC MP Metropolitan Volodymyr (Sabodan). The representatives of the UOC-MP, UOC-KP and UAOC, as well as government officials signed a joint resolution, which offered a program of restoration of church unity in Ukraine, said "Relіgіya in Ukraїnі" .
The round table was Uzhgorod Ukrainian Theological Academy UOC of Saints Cyril and Methodius and the Carpathian University Augustin Voloshin. UOC-MP at the round table were teachers Uzhgorod Academy, Volyn Theological Seminary of Theology of the University of St. Lugansk.Archangel Michael and the Kiev Theological Academy and Seminary. The state was represented by Head of nationalities and religions of the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration Yuriy Guzinets and chairman of the committee on the preservation of the historical heritage and spirituality of the Public Council under the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration Marian Tokar.
After a series of presentations and discussion, the meeting adopted a resolution in which it noted that the presence of several major Orthodox Churches in Ukraine "is not conducive to spiritual and national unity of the Ukrainian nation, complicates the approval processes for Ukrainian statehood and harms the development of the Church of Christ in Ukraine."
In a resolution addressed to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, public authorities, higher education institutions and the media, the program contains a general vision of overcoming the schism in Ukrainian Orthodoxy.
The document begins with a detailed description of the "tradition of the Kiev font" that is Ukrainian identity of the Church, which, in the opinion of the participants, is the apostolic origin. Among the recommendations of the round table can distinguish the preparation of "scientific and theoretically study the historical and cultural unity of the Orthodox Churches in Ukraine" and the establishment on the basis of the International Academy of Theology "collegial permanent summit on ways to overcome the division of the Orthodox in Ukraine."

Criminal Background Checks – A wise man once said, "Prevention is the best medicine." It's too bad that most homeowners only take that adage as far as checking out who they are hiring to work on the interior/exterior of their home. Your home is your castle and "prevention" should also mean knowing exactly who you allow inside your home and what their past history is.
Like any profession, painting contractors cover the whole grade spectrum. The best ones are hard to find; and the bad ones make up these startling statistics:
These next statistics come as no surprise. According to Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) crime report, in 2011 alone:
Now these statistics beg the next question. Would you knowingly let a criminal work inside on your house, sometimes even unsupervised? Chances are the answer is a definite NO! Well if you don't get a criminal background check on whoever you have work inside your house, there is a 10% chance of that actually happening.
If you've ever watched TV shows about bad contractors, you'll likely also know that many incidents between painting contractors and homeowners go unreported.
That's why it's even more important to:
As a homeowner you can protect yourself by purchasing background checks with online sites such as www.backcheck.ca. But the reality is a painting or renovating contractor comes with many employees making this extremely difficult.
At Home Painters Toronto, we believe this responsibility should NOT fall on the homeowner. That's why every employee we hire must pass an extensive criminal background check – a check that is performed on a yearly basis. With Home Painters Toronto, the only worry you'll have is choosing the perfect shade of paint; and even that we will help you with that if you want us to!
But that's just the beginning of what you can expect from Home Painters Toronto. At Home Painters Toronto, you can expect:

Evaluating Conditions in Major Chinese Housing Markets
NBER Working Paper No. 16189
Jing Wu, Joseph Gyourko, Yongheng Deng
"High and rising prices in Chinese housing markets have attracted global attention, as well as the interest of the Chinese government and its regulators. Housing markets look very risky based on the stylized facts we document. Price-to-rent ratios in Beijing and seven other large markets across the country have increased from 30% to 70% since the beginning of 2007. Current price-to-rent ratios imply very low user costs of no more than 2%-3% of house value. Very high expected capital gains appear necessary to justify such low user costs of owning. Our calculations suggest that even modest declines in expected appreciation would lead to large price declines of over 40% in markets such as Beijing, absent offsetting rent increases or other countervailing factors. Price-to-income ratios also are at their highest levels ever in Beijing and select other markets. Much of the increase in prices is occurring in land values. Using data from the local land auction market in Beijing, we are able to produce a constant quality land price index for that city. Real, constant quality land values have increased by nearly 800% since the first quarter of 2003, with half that rise occurring over the past two years. State-owned enterprises controlled by the central government have played an important role in this increase, as our analysis shows they paid 27% more than other bidders for an otherwise equivalent land parcel."

I'm always on the prowl to make simple and easy valentines for my kids classmates and this year I decided on these mini clipboards. They are a super simple DIY project that requires very little supplies and can be used later for a cute photo or other notepad paper.
Let's just say I'm definitely not the wittiest person so I came up with 'let's clip together' in reference to the binder clip. But honestly I like to think of it as a play off of 'let's get together, yeah, yeah, yeah' -Hayley Mills was a favorite of mine growing up.
Back to the project. This DIY mini clipboard valentine is perfect all by itself but you could add candy or a cute little paper pad or a fun photo.
I used 1x4 scrap wood but you could go bigger, 1x6 would be nice or even 1x8. Just be sure to sand well as with anything.
These small binder clips we already red, you can get them in all different colors or spray paint the clip portion to match your project.
I'll show you down below how to make a mini clipboard valentine
- 1x4 scrap wood (or larger)
- binder clips
- 1/2" lath screws
- drill
- sandpaper
- clear poly
Step 1: Cut scrap wood pieces to size. I used 1x4 cedar scraps cut to 6" then sanded well and sealed with clear poly.
Step 2: Mark the center of the wood board and at least 1/2" from top edge. Unfold binder clip metal clamps as pictured. Drill lath screw down into wood to hold one side of metal clip in place.
Print your valentine message and attach a little candy.
Hope you have a beautiful Valentine's Day with love all around!

text: Out in L.A. today, the ESPN Radio affiliate had Frank Wycheck on and said that Tennessee was leaning towards Vince Young. I think Tennessee is trying to float the rumor so that NYJets don't lobby to move up to draft Leinart, thereby getting Leinart to themselves at #3. I only caught a recap of the interview so it is a little unclear as to Wycheck's current role on the team. Either way, it would appear that the trade down scenario for Houston is being met with major resistance.

We spent a few days with the team and I came away wanting to give up what I do and join the Singer mission. If they come across as just the type of people you'd like to knock about with, then the video has succeeded.
There was a classic moment when we were shooting the walk-around with Maz explaining the technical side of the car and you can just spot Rob lurking in the background. He scuttles off with some rags. To clean his 17-inch wheels. He couldn't stand the way the grime was dulling the light on them, so he just rolled his office chair into the workshop and started polishing them. And this wasn't sickly preciousness. At the circuit he just told me to drive the danglies off it and stood there with a Bisto kid grin and drank in the spectacle.
Enough from me. Please watch the video and enjoy what is now on my motor car bucket list.
