Policy Brief: Building Viet Nam's Protected Area System
Viet Nam is at a critical stage in the establishment of its protected areas system. Much has been achieved over the past two decades and there is greater understanding about the fundamental role national parks, nature reserves and other protected areas play in national and local development. There are now 128 forested protected areas throughout the country. Also, 68 wetlands of national importance and 15 marine protected areas have been identifi ed. In fulfi lling their conservation functions, protected areas yield essential goods and services which provide support to Viet Nam's growing hydropower energy sector, to fi sheries and agriculture, to expanding tourism and to industry and urban development. They also have irreplaceable values for recreation, education, historical and natural heritage, and quality of life for present and future generations. Protected areas are an essential part of Viet Nam's strategy for national development.
Yet, there are serious obstacles which are hindering further progress in developing the national protected areas system that need to be overcome. A leap forward in policy and institutional arrangements is required if the benefi ts of past gains are to be realised. Further progress in safeguarding the nation's heritage and the quality of its development depends on these initiatives.

Mullican Enters Hardwood Cleaning Business
Johnson City, TN, Oct. 7, 2013 -- Hardwood firm Mullican Flooring has introduced hardwood floor cleaning products for the first time under its own label.
Called the Mullican Flooring Hardwood Floor Care System, the products are packaged as a kit, consisting of a 32-ounce spray bottle of Mullican Flooring Hardwood Floor Cleaner and a three-part, ready-to-assemble mop.
Mullican also recently introduced its first adhesives for installing glue-down engineered hardwood floors. One of the adhesives carries the industrys first lifetime moisture warranty for also protecting subflooring.
" We were excited to be expanding into areas where weve never gone before," says Brian Greenwell, Mullican vice president of sales and marketing.
"We launched the cleaning products because we believe consumers are generally confused about how to care for wood floors, which are very often a major life investment."

If, At First, The Idea is Not Absurd, Then There is No Hope For It: Towards 15 MtC in the UK Transport Sector
This paper examines the possibilities of reducing transport carbon dioxide emissions in the UK by 60 per cent by 2030 using a modified scenario building and backcasting approach. It examines a range of policy measures (behavioural and technological), assessing how they can be effectively combined to achieve the required level of emissions reduction. The intention is to evaluate whether such an ambitious target is feasible, identify the main problems (including the transition costs), and the main decision points over the 30-year time horizon. This paper outlines the first stages of the research, providing: An introduction to futures studies, including a review of forecasting, scenario building and backcasting approaches; An assessment of the UK transport sector's contribution to climate change and global warming, and; Setting targets for 2030, forecasting the business as usual situation for all forms of transport in the UK, and assessing the scale of change in terms of achieving the emissions reductions. The benefits of scenario building and backcasting are that innovative packages of policy measures can be developed to address emissions reduction targets. It allows trend-breaking analysis, by highlighting the policy and planning choices to be made by identifying those key stakeholders that should be included in the process, and by making an assessment of the main decision points that have to be made (the step changes). It also provides a longer-term background against which more detailed analysis can take place.

Odds & Ends
In this year's Dallas Observer Music Awards nominees for DJ/Electronic, one of these things was not like the other: DJ Merritt, DJ Jayson Gould, DJ Wild in the Streets, DJ Whiz T...and Tree Wave. That's right--only one (one!) nominee fell under the "electronic" category: Tree Wave, the duo of Paul Slocum and Lauren Gray, who coax ever-engaging pop music out of outdated computer and video-game hardware. After the nominations came out, Slocum e-mailed to ask that next year, electronic music receive its own category. "These are the more cutting-edge music categories and are important to the arts scene and Dallas's image as a source for innovative work," he wrote. Hmm. True dat.
Electronic artists may or may not get their own category, but in the meantime, Slocum is putting his money where his e-mail is: He has started printf(), an organization whose goal is to encourage the electronic music scene in Dallas. "After seeing all this great new media stuff going on [in Europe and New York], it's frustrating to live in a city that has a good art scene and nice museums but almost no support for new media art--especially when our lives are affected so heavily by technology," Slocum writes by e-mail. printf() has applied for nonprofit status and will coordinate with the Austin Museum of Digital Art and Houston's Aurora Picture Show to help book electronic artists to perform, lecture and exhibit in Dallas.
The first show is Thursday, May 19, featuring the French laptop trio DAT Politics. The band's video "This Way" is a kooky, hysterically head-bobbing piece of glitch-skronk that mixes live action and animation. Let's put it this way: The video's recurring images include beetles and someone dancing in a green dinosaur costume. The band plays, along with Tree Wave, at the Casket Factory, the smaller building immediately south of the South Side on Lamar building. Tickets are $8 and available pre-sale at Good Records. The show starts at 9 p.m. See treewave.com for more details.
Lizard bait: Don Nedler, owner of the Lizard Lounge, gives us this update on the thieves who broke into the club after-hours in April: "The police have surveillance video of the suspects who boosted our safe and have issued arrest warrants for them," Nedler writes by e-mail. "The video came from an attempted burglary at a club called Ebony Eyes. One of the employees there knew their names and also knew that one of them worked at the Lounge a few years ago." We'll keep our fingers crossed--and our doors locked.
Keyed up: Every four years, the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth brings 30 premier pianists to compete in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. It's a big deal. And though I personally don't know diddly about it, I knew my die-hard-classical-music mother would. So, late on deadline, I called her. "Well, Steve Cumming from WRR hosts it," she free-associates. "These are all amateur performers, but some of them go on to become professionals. You know, this blind woman once played Clair de Lune, and she didn't win, but she had the audience spellbound, and Steve plays it on WRR every once in a while. It's breathtakingly beautiful." She pauses. "I don't think I have anything else to tell you. When you called, I thought you were going to offer me free tickets." Sorry, Ma. Those'll cost you. The event is May 20 through June 5. (A few minutes later, Mom called back to tell me that Friday is Cumming's last day on WRR. Thanks for the music, Steve.)
Wanna Spune?: A few weeks ago, I lauded Denton's Spune Productions for putting together some of the city's most compelling local bills. I also managed to incorrectly spell Spune president/A&R guy Lance Yocom's name. (Sorry, Lance.) On Saturday, May 21, the artist management company builds on its momentum with a show at the Gypsy Tea Room featuring Pilotdrift, Pleasant Grove, Comet and the Snowdonnas. Dust off your shoes and get ready to gaze. Should be a great show.
Finally, Plano news that's not about steroids: Congratulations to Plano High School, which received $7,000 from the Grammy Foundation for being one of 42 high schools in the country designated as a Grammy Signature School. The awards recognize an outstanding commitment to music education during the 2004-2005 school year.

Sisteron ( in classical norm or Sisteroun in Mistralian norm) is a commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
Sisteron is situated on the banks of the River Durance just after the confluence of the rivers Buëch and Sasse. It is sometimes called the "Gateway to Provence" because it is in a narrow gap between two long mountain ridges.
It is from Marseille, also from Grenoble, from Nice and from Forcalquier.
Sisteron has been inhabited for 4000 years. The Romans used the route through Sisteron as can be shown by a Latin inscription in the rocks near the road to Authon. It escaped the barbarian invasions after the fall of Rome, but was ravaged by the Saracens. It was first fortified by the Counts of Forcalquier in the 11th century and later was the northern boundary of the domain of the Counts of Provence. In 1483 during the reign of Louis XI, Sisteron re-joined the kingdom of France. Around this time there were seven plagues that killed two thirds of the population. Between 1562 and 1594 the town and its citadelle was fought over by Protestants and Catholics including two sieges. During this time the walls of the town were built. The plague returned in 1630, and typhus in 1744, killing many of the town's population.
During the French Revolution the town remained Royalist. Consequently when Napoleon arrived on his march north after his escape from Elba in 1815, the town ignored him and let him through.
On 15 August 1944 French B-26 Marauder bombers and American B-17 Flying Fortresses of the 42nd Bomber Wing tried to destroy the railway bridge and the road bridge which span the Durance. The weather was unfavorable and the bridges were not destroyed. A bomber during a manoeuvre to avoid a collision accidentally dropped several bombs on the town. including a full church, causing about 100 fatalities and seriously damaged the citadel. On August 17, the French aircraft returned and destroyed the bridges.

text: Just sold my 14 raft and ordered a new Assault xxx so I could take my travel trailer fishing. I am only going to use it on rivers for steelhead fishing to transport 1 or 2 people from run to run. Ordered upgraded oars and anchor system, but not sure what else I will need. At suggestions are appreciated. Also concerned about me and passengers wearing studded boots in the raft, anybody done this with the assault products? When I talked with Scadden he told me I did not need a frame, but a bighorn from NRS would fit. Heading for the OP for a couple weeks when raft arrives and would appreciate any and all comments.

Is it me, or is ABC Daytime getting very dramatic, even for daytime drama? The life and death situations on each of the three ABC daytime soaps have me glued to my seat.
On All My Children, Kendall's life hangs in the balance as her husband and former lover/father of her baby struggle to determine if Kendall's life is more important than that of her unborn child -- Spike. They think they know what Kendall would want -- for Spike to get the best fighting chance to survive and if that means keeping him safe and sound in Kendall's womb, than that's what they are determined to do. But their decision could cost them the love of both their lives.
On One Life to Live, Todd Manning was executed! The show did a rather detailed and graphic representation of what it must be like for a death row inmate and his family as he utters his final words. Very intense. And Todd was innocent! Margaret is alive. Too bad she doesn't remember anything, although today she did say that the name Dr. Spencer Truman rang a bell. Not only is Viki at risk of losing her brother, but her grandson, Duke, just lost the battle for his life when his father chose Kelly's operation over Duke's. Isn't it interesting that Dr. Truman was involved in both storylines?
While on General Hospital, Jason was forced to realize the error of his ways in regard to loving Sam and being with Sam means putting Sam in danger thanks to Sam's new mom, Alexis, that he has torn Sam's heart apart by walking away from her. He thinks he is doing what's best for her, but is he? Plus, at long last, Maurice Benard (Sonny) is getting his wish. TPTB at GH have written a manic/depressive storyline for him, and pe prepared. He is taking it to the hilt.
So, the question for ABC daytime fans is, are you enjoying all this intensity? Or do you prefer your soaps to be more love, lust and fluff and less substance.
I welcome your comments.

Why Tint?
Although applying window film to your windows may seem like an expensive way to decorate your home, there are actually many functional and cost-saving benefits to professional window tinting. If you live in an area with lots of sunlight and receive direct exposure throughout the day, for instance, the sun could be increasing the temperature in your home. This greenhouse effect makes it difficult to keep certain rooms a standard temperature without blasting your air conditioning for the entire day.
In this case, applying a window film can significantly reduce your energy bills. Ever notice how many office buildings in large cities are covered in tinted windows? Having a window as an office wall gives the feel of a larger space, and adding a tinted film reduces sun-related heat issues.
Companies such as High Country Window Tint in Colorado Springs or Solar Solutions in New York City, offer all of the benefits of window tinting with a simple installation process.
How Does Window Film Work?
Solar film works by either absorbing the sun's rays or reflecting them away from the indoors. Some films are a darker color, and others are able to get the job done with a pale tint. Darker films can offer security and privacy benefits, if that is your purpose in an applique.
What Are The Other Benefits?
There are a couple of other great qualities of window tinting aside from security, privacy, and temperature control (or energy savings). One of the most annoying parts of having a high level of sunlight in your home is a blinding glare that usually hits around sunrise or sunset. Solar film acts like a protective pair of sunglasses that prevents squinting indoors. Window tinting also prevents harmful UV rays that aren't typically filtered out through glass panes. Finally, a protective film can also keep your carpet and furniture from fading.

This European style brown bread is hearty, complex of flavor, and most importantly, delicious. If you need a mid day "pick me up," this bread will give you a surprising boost of energy and sustain you between meals. If you decide to make it a meal in itself, this brown bread is great plain, served with gravlax (cured salmon), toasted and spread with honey butter, and was used to make the most delicious egg salad sandwich I have ever eaten. This recipe calls for a poolish sourdough starter for added flavor and to stand up to the acidity of the other ingredients that give this bread recipe a unique flavor. Please see the "Related" section at the end of this recipe for further information and alternatives to using a sourdough starter.
- The night before baking, combine 100g poolish sourdough starter with 100g whole wheat flour, 250g rye flour and 350g cold water. Stir together in a plastic or glass container with enough extra room to allow mixture to expand slightly. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow this "sponge" to ferment overnight, or for about 10-18 hours.
- The following day, the sponge should be bubbling and active. Because whole wheat and rye flour are used for the majority of the sponge, the active mixture won't look quite as airy or active as a starter using 100% bread flour. This is normal.
- If the sponge is active as described above, add bread flour, balsamic vinegar, coffee, warm water, molasses, and cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly to combine, cover with plastic wrap and allow to autolyse for 20-30 minutes.
- After autolyse period, add salt, fennel seed, celery seed and caraway seed. Mix with hands to combine.
- Turn dough out onto clean work surface, using the "slap and fold" kneading method to work the dough until it forms a strong gluten structure and can pass the widow-pane test.
- Lightly dust dough with bread flour, perform a single stretch and fold, round and allow to bulk ferment in a covered container for about 4 hours or until its volume has doubled in size. You can also retard bulk fermentation overnight at this point to develop more flavor and make the process more convenient.
- After bulk fermentation, divide dough into 3 equal loaves weighing 600-640g each.
- Form portioned dough into loaves and place in 9" loaf pans that have been sprayed with pan release (non-stick) spray. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to proof for about 2 hours or until the volume has grown to at least 1.5 times its original size.
- Brush the top of the bread with melted butter and dock using a sharp razor, making a 1/2" deep incision vertically, down the middle of the loaf.
- Bake at 350-375ºF/175-190ºC for about 40-45 minutes or until the crust is a dark brown and loaf achieves a minimum internal temperature of about 200ºF/93ºC.
- Immediately after baking, remove finished loaves from pans and set on a wire rack, allowing to cool for at least 1-2 hours before slicing.
- Once bread has fully cooled to room temperature, wrap in plastic wrap and store in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.
Alternatives To Using A Poolish Starter
This recipe benefits from the use of a sourdough starter because the natural yeast is much more resilient to acidic bread doughs (created in this recipe by the addition of vinegar, molasses and coffee). If you really don't want to use a poolish starter, mix the sponge ingredients together the night before as instructed in step one, but add an extra 50g of bread flour and 50g of water along with 2g of instant or active dry yeast. Allow to ferment overnight and continue recipe as instructed.

Looks great. Likely to try it out this weekend.

Just regular drip coffee saved from your morning pot. If you want to get fancy and intensify the flavor, you can substitute 100g of espresso.

That's so true. The husband
That's so true. The husband and wife team that own the Cedar House are pretty healthy eaters, especially the husband who's super active in outdoor sports. He likes to make a sandwich with this bread and take it on hikes with him. I also like to eat plain slices of it for sustained energy throughout a busy day in the kitchen. Hence the three loaf yield.
You can obviously enter the amount of loaves you want in the yield box at the top of this post and it will scale the recipe appropriately.
I also just finished editing the video on this so stay tuned for that.
I have made Hammelman's Rustic bread a number of times and have removed it from my bread list. I found the addition of a little rye and whole wheat flour detrimental to the taste of the bread. In one word, it was bland.
Now this recipe sounds like bland isn't an option. I like the use of molasses (though I will probably add some honey too), but the other spices and flavors sounds like it will be anything but bland.
What a beautiful crumb.
This will definitely be on my list of breads to make ...... soon.
You can accuse this bread of
You can accuse this bread of many things; bland isn't one of them.
The molasses is an important flavor component, it really gives it a unique tang. I would save the honey for drizzling on top of the toast, especially your honey. The honey that you sent me was so complex yet subtle; I think if it was baked into this bread it would get lost.
Just yesterday I had this for breakfast as toast, spread with a little room temp butter and drizzled with the honey you sent me. Paired with a good cup of coffee, probably one of the best yet simplest breakfasts one could ask for.
Just to show you...
I am an equal opportunity baker. Here is the Sourdough Brown Bread.
The only thing I regret is not making the third loaf. There is NOTHING bland about this loaf. Love the addition of the fennel and celery seeds and the contrast with the caraway.
Yesterday was an all day marathon of Brown Bread and Sourdough boule, while trying to get work done from home at the same time. Conference call,,,, slap and fold....emailing....divide and form....conference call.....check the temp...etc. I guess I have to get a job as a baker.
Time to make some egg salad so I can have an excuse to eat this bread. OK, so I dont really need and excuse...
Thanks Jacob!
Well I made these as yeasted brown breads as I am not happy with my current sourdough and haven't refreshed it in a while. I made a poolish the night before with the rye and whole wheat flour and finished it the next day. I also substituted apple cider vinegar for the balsamic vinegar.
I have to say this bread is tasty and it is also nice and soft. After tasting it, I quickly ran down to the local deli and bought some corned beef and Swiss cheese. Made a darn good Reuben. (of course the sauer kraut must be home made in a crock) I haven't tried it but I bet it would make an excellent vegetarian Reuben (substituting raw sunflower seeds for corned beef).
Probably next time I will cut the fennel that I have, in half. It is pretty potent fennel and I think it shows too well without the sourdough starter. This bread will definitely stay on my list of breads to make.
Good show Chef Jacob.
Now to try your savory bread next. ;-)
Nice looking loaves skyfish!

Thanks Elliot. Yours look great also.
I am having a corned beef, swiss cheese, dijon mustard, butter and mayo on this bread. Oh so good.
Brown bread is challenging
Today's bake was a first attempt at this bread. It came out tasting fabulous, but the bake had it's issues. Everything went pretty much as shown in the video until the shaping and proofing. During the shaping, the dough felt stiff and wouldn't easily stretch. It almost felt dry. The top layer would constantly tear rather than form a smooth skin during tension pulls. Then, I also had trouble getting the loafs to proof, but finally figured out they were cold. I put them into the cold oven with the light on for an hour and that helped. However, I was short on time and had to start the bake before they had fully proofed. So, I got some really 'artisanal' loaves. ;-) Happily, they taste so good, the evidence will be gone soon. Then I'll get to practice again.
Hey, that's some nice looking
Hey, that's some nice looking bread. It's possible that the type of whole wheat or rye you were using has a slightly higher gluten content, so it will soak up more moisture.
Next time if your mixture looks a little dry, just add some more water during the kneading stage.
What I like to do in these circumstances (when I need more water), is I'll place a small container of water on my scale and hit the tare button to zero it out.
Then I'll add enough water so that my dough looks correct. I'll place the remaining container of water back on the scale, and record the negative readout in grams, so I know exactly how much water I added. I'll make a note in the margins of my recipe, that way I can remember what I did for next time.
Checking in since I've not
Checking in since I've not commented in a while. I've been baking a batch of brown bread just about every weekend now. In fact, I have 3 loaves in the oven right now. Debra thinks this is the best bread she's ever tasted, so that about nails it. Plus, by baking this, I return about $40 a month to the grocery budget that we used to spend on store bought bread. Anyway, it's all good. Charlie ( my starter ) is perking right along. One day I'll need to make one of those country boules again just for that crust.
Thanks again for all of the great advise and guidance. I can't wait to see how Stella moves forward. I really enjoyed the sauces video.
Almost forgot to mention. Even though rye bread wouldn't be the first choice for bread pudding, it turns out this bread is excellent when used with http://www.food.com/recipe/apple-rum-and-raisin-bread-pudding-230808
Note that I substituted almond milk for the dairy with great results.
@ Horst, Thanks so much for
@ Horst,
Thanks so much for the update! I'm glad you nailed down this bread and are enjoying it. It's still one of my favorite breads to date. So much flavor, so much versatility, whether using it for sandwiches, toast and butter, or cubing up into croutons.
Please keep me up to date on your progress, and let me know if you have any more questions.

Following damage to the aft spar of a Cessna 525 Citation CJ, Jet Aviation Zurich designed and built the necessary tools, including a wing support bench, an aircraft hoist, movable jacks and a fuselage support, to enable removal of the wings for mandatory OEM repair. Technicians glided the wings out from under the aircraft, one side at a time, and hoisted them into a handcrafted two-ton crate for transport.
"It was a big, heavy task that required more than 250 man-hours just to prepare for," said Jakob Straub, vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Zurich.
The Jet Aviation Zurich facility consists of 53,820 sq ft of hangar space and provides aircraft maintenance support to small and medium-size business jets and turboprops. The facility is an EASA- and FAA-authorized repair station offering airframe and engine maintenance, completions, cabinetry and furniture refurbishment, electrical system installation, avionics installation and exterior painting.

Wet weather couldn't tame the mohawks as hundreds of punks braved the weather in West Cornwall to enjoy the atmosphere of the second 3 Chords music festival.
Young and old attended the event, at Trereife Park near Penzance, to watch music from up and coming UK bands, punk scene veterans including TV Smith and the UK Subs, and there was even a nautical twist from Pirate Copy.
The organisers said: "We were pleased with a great turnout of both locals and people who had travelled from all corners of the UK whose enjoyment was not marred by the weather turning on the Sunday.
"The headliners of TV Smith, Subhumans, GBH and UK Subs all gave excellent sets to an enthusiastic audience and didn't disappoint."

ST. LOUIS, MO — November 15, 2004 — SAVVIS Communications (NASDAQ: SVVS), a leading global IT utility, today announced that ACTIV Financial Systems, a provider of low latency, exchange content and data management solutions, has adopted SAVVIS' Intelligent IP NetworkSM service to provide customers with mission critical market data. SAVVIS' network will provide multicast distribution of ACTIV's leading products, including the ActivFeed and the ActivWorkstation Platform.
In an industry struggling to handle the increasing message rates generated by the market activity across an increasingly diverse set of trading venues, ACTIV Financial provides its customers with the fastest, most reliable delivery of real-time market data from global exchanges, complemented by directly-sourced corporate actions and fundamental data aggregated from respected industry sources. SAVVIS' Intelligent IP Network and multicast service provides ACTIV's customer with the cost advantage of a virtual private network (VPN), the security and performance of a global private IT system, and fully-integrated multicast technology that replicates real-time data streams based on the unique data requirements of ACTIV subscribers.
Under terms of the contract, ACTIV Financial deployed SAVVIS' Intelligent IP Network service to support the following products: ActivDF ("Direct Feed"), a data management infrastructure enabling customers to consolidate and publish proprietary data and direct feeds sourced from SAVVIS network connections to major financial exchanges; ActivFeed, the company's full North American multi-cast Market Data Feed delivering options, equities, and futures data and related content; and connectivity to ActivWorkstation, a trader's workstation interface with charting, and other real-time analytics. The SAVVIS Intelligent IP Network supports all of ACTIV's ground-breaking technologies: high performance middleware and fully integrated RDBMS component applications providing customers the tools to build ultra low latency publishing systems that reduce dependency on legacy and or proprietary distribution and display platforms.
"Until recently, multicast was only available through a few limited providers or using the public Internet , which could not consistently deliver the reliability, performance, and security required by our mission-critical applications," said Frank Piasecki, President, ACTIV Financial Systems. "SAVVIS has changed the game by offering a private multicast service over its proven high-availability global network. It is an ideal delivery platform for the exchange data sources required by our ActivDF customers and ActivFeed subscribers. SAVVIS offers an end-to-end solution that manages routing, firewall protection and the fully-meshed connectivity that our customers demand."
The Intelligent IP Network Service is a key component of SAVVIS' global infrastructure that delivers a host of services to over 4,700 financial institutions in 47 countries, among them the collection and distribution of real-time market data - both direct and consolidated feeds - which drive various ACTIV products.
"Providing traders and financial institutions with real-time market data demands a complete commitment to technological innovation — and ACTIV epitomizes that approach," said Jack Finlayson, President & COO, SAVVIS Communications. "We're pleased that ACTIV has matched their applications and content management services with the advanced efficiency and security of our Intelligent IP Network Service."
About ACTIV Financial Systems, Inc.
ACTIV Financial Systems, Inc. was formed in 2002 to provide content and technology services that solve urgent problems caused by the rapid growth of message rates and trading volumes of exchange market data. ACTIV responded by developing products and services that maximize its customers' ability to apply and profit from time-sensitive securities exchange-based market information. Their product suite integrates a wide range of data, sourced from global exchanges and other high quality providers of corporate action and fundamental data and news, all available through a sophisticated data model, modern API and a high performance middleware.

After 25 years in existence, most grind house era films do not stand the test of time. Fact is, they're budgets and lack of acting ability make them out to be kind of silly and cartoonish. They become a caricature of their true intent. Combat Shock is not one of those films, however.
Director Buddy Giovionazzo's post-war miseryfest is a snapshot of desperate time in our country's history. The film doesn't include any gratuitous sex or nudity. It doesn't have any crazy monsters or supernatural activity. It's not a jump/scream/laugh flick. Combat Shock is nasty reality. And its grounding in reality is what makes it so damn memorable.
Frankie is a former POW and Vietnam Vet who is back in the states with very little to go forward with. He and his wife have one child already, which is highly deformed (due to Frankie's chemical weapon exposure) and another on the way. There's no food in the house (barring some rotten milk), no money for groceries, and Frankie has to head back to the unemployment line. Along the way, he encounters the worst of the worst (pimps, prostitutes, junkies, and fuck-ups) as he watches his world deteriorate. An impoverished, hopeless situation (coupled with Vietnam flashbacks) drives Frankie beyond his thresh hold and it results in one of the most memorable third acts and climaxes in sleaze cinema history.
The movie isn't necessarily intended to be frightening in the conventional sense. Rather, Combat Shock is an exercise in human endurance. It's honestly, one of the most depressive and miserable films you'll ever watch-but I don't mean that as an insult. It's realistic. They didn't make Staten Island look that run down and filthy. It was a dank, unkind place on it's own. While Giovionazzo's budget was miniscule, it didn't take much money to portray what kind of atrocities happen in the Vietnam War and what the reprecussions were for returning vets. You can practically wipe the grime off of Combat Shock-it almost stinks. By no means should you go into watching this flick with the idea of seeing typical grind house fodder. It definitely falls into that 80's NY film category (along side Maniac, Street Trash, Toxic Avenger and others) but it's distinction is it's ability to be less of a genre film, and more of a black-hearted drama. It's agonizing to watch Frankie carry on through his day when you know full well that this can only end in disaster. (I'd heard stories from it's release, where audiences on the Deuce were up in arms over going to see (what they thought was) a "war movie", but instead got their emotions assaulted by seeing a film that could've very well been their own life's story.) Frankie's too proud to take money from his wealthy father, who's standards he could never meet. Yet, he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of finding a stable job that would be suitable enough to take care of his family with. Essentially, Frankie has been backed into the corner and the only way out is a nihilistic path that finalizes in bloodshed.
The ironic thing about this film being re-released when it has, is that the film is now more relevant and current than ever. Consider the shape the country was in at the time and consider where we're at now. What Buddy Giovionazzo did,was capture the disdain of the American people and show what could happen if the disgruntled said "fuck it" and turned on their world. Really, Frankie is the perfect representation of discontent and the movie is a standout among its peers. Combat Shock has made Giovionazzo a cult figure among fans of grind house cinema and it is with good reason. To make a micro-budget film over 25 years ago, and to have it maintain it's relevancy, is no small feat. But to make said movie and have it resonate with its viewer long after it's finished, is a stroke of brilliance. Troma's given Combat Shock a beautiful clean up and there are some great extras on this 2-disc including a great documentary and some interviews with Buddy and the star of the film, his brother Rick. (Sidenote: Begrudgingly, I have to applaud Troma with treating this film with such respect, considering how pathetic and stagnent that company has become over time). It's a fitting treatment and tribute to a fantastic film.

Kluwe Released from Contract with Vikings
Posted on May 6, 2013 at 11:35 am
You had a feeling it was coming; now it's official. Vikings punter Chris Kluwe has been released by the team. Announced by his personal twitter account with a pithy: "So long Minnesota, and thanks for all the fish," Kluwe had expected a change after the Vikings drafted punter Jeff Locke—a player worth one third of Kluwe's $8.3 million contract.
It remains to be seen if Locke takes up his predecessor's activist role on the team.

Lions in the wild
Chris R-UK wrote:
The shot is a little overexposed but you were lucky to see them.
Were they on a side road? Evey time we saw lions in Kruger there was a long traffic in both directions with people trying to get into position to see them. We did have one walk across the road right in front of our vehicle.
Our cub sightings where 3 in one group, 7 in another. Kittens in both groups (less than a month old) and 18 cubs in another group (below), about 4 months old, (road 100). We had a total of 158 lion sightings, 28 Cheeta and 15 leopord.
How long did you spend in the park and where did you stay?
We where in the park for 6 weeks and stayed at Pretoriouskop, Skukuza, Satara, Oliphants, Lower Sabi and Crocodile Bridge. We already have reservations to return in for 6 weeks again in November of this year
Getting rid of the Nikon though....too much PP.

text: I got an accuwedge in my last Midway order, it was cheap so why not, like under $5. I am new to the world of the AR, so I was wondering is this necessary? They claim to improve accuracy by reducing slop between the upper and lower, but I don't know? I have read both yea and nay. The one point I read that I did like was to keep the upper a little more firm as to keep the scope mount from moving. Set me strait. Again It was cheap no big loss either way.

As much as I love the clothes side of dressing up for a night out, it's the finishing touches when it comes to hair and beauty that can really make or break an outfit.
We all know that a new 'do' can completely overhaul your look, but if - like me - you find doing your own hair a complete faff (I swear I can't do *anything* that involves my hands being above my head) then it's safest to leave it to the experts.
Luckily TONI&GUY know us laydeez need a bit of support when it comes to styling for a night out, so they have a specially designed Fashion Fix service where you can pick a catwalk look which they'll replicate in just 30 mins. The best bit? It's just £25. I know I'd rather spend £25 on killer hair than yet another H&M dress.
There are a lot of styles to choose from....
But I highly recommend the 'Retro Americana' that I'm rocking here...
A glam bob without the commitment! As seen at shows such as Tata Naka and Fam Irvoll.
Take a look at how it was created in this nifty video...
Oh and did I mention that you also get a label.m styling product to take home with you?
The super speedy service is available at participating TONI&GUY and essensuals salons nationwide. You can find your local TONI&GUY here.
Of course once you've got your hair did, you just need somewhere to show it off! Which Late Night London bar you choose is up to you of course, but you DEFINITELY want to make the most of the free Veuve Clicquot offer we have running at the mo. Book a table for four at a Late Night London bar and your free bottle of bubbly will be waiting for you when you arrive.
New hair + free bubbles = the perfect weekend, non?
Happy partying!

Adelaide making progress under new boss
Josep Gombau remains confident his Catalonian revolution of Adelaide United will make the club an A-League force this year.
Gambau helped oversee the progress of some of the finest football players of the modern era during his time as a Barcelona academy coach and is now bringing a touch of the Camp Nou to Hindmarsh Stadium.
The Reds slipped to their first defeat of the season on Saturday when they went down 1-0 to Central Coast at Bluetongue Stadium.
But despite the loss it was a highly encouraging performance against the champions with Gombau's insistence on building from the back and playing through midfield a stark contrast to the more direct fare served up by Adelaide sides in previous years.
Key to the side's approach are former Barcelona trainees Sergio Cirio and Isaias who both produced eye-catching performances against the Mariners.
Gombau said he was satisfied with the Reds' progress in his three games in charge and backed Cirio and Isaias, who played for Espanyol in La Liga, to keep improving.
"Cirio plays very well, he can play as a winger, midfielder or a striker and Isaias is a very calm and composed footballer," Gombau said.
"Cirio can play the three positions, No.7, No.11 and No.9 very well. In Spain he usually played out wide, but I am very satisfied with what he can do for the side, he works very hard."
Gombau cut his teeth as a coach at the age of just 16 when he became the full-time coach of Amposta, a local Catalan side that plays in the fifth tier of Spanish football.
It was there he attained his professional coaching qualifications and came to the attention of Barcelona who recruited him in 2003 to work at the club's fabled Le Masia academy, which lists Anders Iniesta, Carlos Puyol, Lionel Messi and Xavi Hernandez as former graduates.
In 2009 the 37-year-old was appointed technical director of Barcelona's international academy in Dubai, before moving to Hong Kong where he enjoyed a successful three-year spell with Kitchee.
And now he's determined to bring a taste of the Camp Nou to the A-League and urged the Adelaide supporters to be patient.
"We obviously want to win and when we lose it can make the fans that don't understand what we are trying to do upset," he said.
"They look at the result and may say we don't play well or create chances. But we are on the right path to something very good that will arrive soon.
"Day by day we are more comfortable with the ball at our feet. Our goal is to play the one style with every player in the team being happy to play this way."

Getting event data from EventBrite in Windows Phone using AgFx8/7/2012 | Tags: windows-phone
Please, tell us what you think about this news by voting
source: depblog.weblogs.us
So you will already know that anything linked to online data should be retrieved using AgFx! Now if you have that, let me show you how you can use this for retrieving event data from EventBrite ( an online service to host an event calendar and maintain attendees data ). EventBrite is a cool online service that also comes packed with a great API that will allow devs to integrate it in their own apps.
Before I continue I must point out that there is also a clean .net wrapper available, called EventBrite.Net but like I stated above, I'm more hooked on AgFx so I didn't used the wrapper.
Before you can do anything with the EventBrite API you first should get an API key through their website here. After that you are set to go! With that API key you can than start using all API methods that are described on the EventBrite API documentation here.

Creative Transitions at John HardyPrint
WWD recently broke the news that creative director and former part owner of John Hardy, Guy Bedarida, has left the company. This parting of the ways was reported to be a mutual agreement between the executive and the brand. Bedarida had led the creative team since 1998.

Senator Craig Johnson: Third Track Costs Keep Rising
Senator Craig M. Johnson blasted the MTA/ LIRR for once again ignoring the wishes of Main Line communities by continuing to go forward with its controversial Third Track Expansion project, even as its projected costs continue to increase.
MTA officials now estimate that it would cost $1.5 billion to complete the project. As recently as March, Third Track was projected to cost $1.3 billion. Last year, it was pegged at $1 billion.
This increase comes with no information on how the MTA plans to pay for the Third Track. The project is part of the MTA's 5-year Capital Plan, which was intended to have been funded in part by revenue from the now dead congestion tax proposal for lower Manhattan. Senator Johnson opposed congestion pricing, as he opposes this project.
"The price tag on Third Track keeps going up, the justifications for this project continue to shift, and revenues keep drying up. The only thing that remains constant is the opposition from the vast majority of those who live in the communities this project will cut through," Senator Johnson said. "Given all of these factors, the MTA/LIRR should be reevaluating their game plan, but yet everything indicates that they intend continue to pursue this wrongheaded project."
Among these indications, the MTA has posted a job listing on its Web site for a "director" to guide the project through the regularity process and "manage public outreach."
Senator Johnson said the MTA/ LIRR's apparent unwillingness to reexamine this project has made it even more important that his legislation, The Main Line Community Empowerment Act, (S.7037), becomes law.
The measure would allow the construction of the Third Track only with the approval of two thirds of the town and village governments from the communities that the track will run through. Any vote would come only after the affected governments (the Village Boards of Trustees in Bellerose, Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Garden City, Mineola and Westbury, which represent the incorporated communities, and the Town Boards in Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay, which represent the unincorporated areas) hold public hearings that will give residents a chance to gather information and voice their opinions on the project.
The bill is currently in the Senate Transportation Committee.

Sibu Beauty - Moisturizing Body Cream - 6 oz.
Sibu Beauty - Moisturizing Body Cream - 6 oz. (177 mL.)
Sibu Beauty Moisturizing Body Cream gives you skin that's soft to the touch. This body cream contains sea buckthorn seed oil, fruit oil and even whole pureed berries to soften, hydrate and protect your skin. It has a super light formula that absorbs quickly, so your skin stays silky soft, not greasy. The healing attributes of sea buckthorn oil, combined with the luxurious emollient properties of shea butter and meadowfoam, provide softer, healthier skin. Sibu body cream is fast acting to naturally protect your skin from everyday exposure to the elements.
Not All Sea Buckthorn is Created Equal: Sibu only uses wild-crafted, Himalayan sea buckthorn. The particular variety of sea buckthorn they hand-harvest, known as Turkistanica, not only has the highest nutrient profile of all sea buckthorn varieties, it also has the highest omega-7 concentrations averaging 37% to 40% of the berry.
The T7 Difference
Sibu's Turkestanica Sea Berry (Sea Buckthorn) is an omega-7 powerhouse unmatched in its nutrient profile. Packed with over 190 bioactive compounds, it thrives in the extreme alpine environment of the Himalayan Highlands to provide you with unmatched health and beauty benefits.
Nature's Perfect Omega-7
After hundreds of years of quiet use, word of the astounding benefits of omega-7 fatty acid has finally reached the US. Touted by Dr. Oz for its incomparable nutritive and restorative properties, this rare but powerful "MUFA" (or monounsaturated fat) is popping up in media and in clinical study results across the country.
Omega-7 fatty acid (also called "palmitoleic acid" in most scientific and clinical publications) can be found in animal and plant sources, including macadamia nuts, cold- water fish and sea buckthorn berries. Sea buckthorn contains a much higher concentration of this valuable fatty acid, up to 40% as compared to 17% in macadamia nuts. While this omega has numerous skin and health benefits, it is also known for its ability to support a healthy weight, cardiovascular health and gastro-intestinal health.
Cardiovascular Health
Your entire cardiovascular system benefits from increased access to omega-7, particularly palmitoleic acid. The positive benefits to cardiovascular health fall into two categories: it may help (1) reduce the amount of bad cholesterol traveling through your arteries, and (2) help smooth their passage, which in turn helps artery walls stay strong and resistant to tearing.
Skin, Hair & Nails
Omega-7 provides key building blocks for skin, hair and nails. It helps combat wrinkles, dryness, loss of skin elasticity and other symptoms of malnourished or aging skin. It also helps skin function properly by supporting numerous skin functions, including:
Weight Management
Taken internally, omega-7 fatty acid signals the body to stop storing fat. Clinical studies have shown that, not only do users melt away fat, but they also keep it off for longer periods. This amazing compound also helps the body maintain insulin sensitivity and fight off the imbalances that can result in metabolic syndrome. Insulin sensitivity plays a major role in helping the body convert glucose into energy, rather than storing it as fat. Research shows that omega-7 imitates a hormone in the body that helps regulate systemic metabolic activity.
Gastro-Intestinal Health
Omega-7 has a soothing and smoothing effect on all the body's sensitive internal linings. These linings (the mucous membranes that line the GI tract, stomach, upper respiratory tract and genital area) help nourish and hydrate internal organs and combat stressors, including excessive stomach acid or chronic inflammation. In addition to soothing inflamed and irritated membranes, the body needs this powerful fatty acid to plump up those sensitive linings, just like it uses them to plump thin, stretched skin cells.
Sibu Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sibu's omega-7 purified?
Other companies are now selling an animal sourced omega-7 and calling their extraction process "purified." This is a marketing term for highly processed with chemicals, solvents and high heat. Sibu sea buckthorn is minimally processed at low temperatures to protect the omega-7 and other fat soluble nutrients found in sea buckthorn. They consider their omega-7 pure, not "purified."
Does Sibu omega-7 have palmitic acid?
Yes, it does, but it's not bad for your health as the many who are selling a "purified omega-7" would want you to believe. Consider this, Sibu's omega-7 internal supplement contains less than 1% of the World Health Organization's recommended daily intake. You'll find palmitic acid in much greater quantities in dark chocolate, olive oil and anchovies. Human breast milk contains up to 40% palmitic acid!
Where does Sibu get sea buckthorn from?
All of Sibu's sea buckthorn berries are hand-harvested above 12,000 ft. from the majestic Himalayan Mountains. The harsh climate, extreme temperatures and tough soils of this area help create the most nutrient dense sea buckthorn berries in the world!
Is Sibu sea buckthorn organic?
Better than organic! Their sea buckthorn berries are all wild-grown, just as mother nature intended, far away from the polluted environment of mankind. Although their berries are not "certified" organic, the Himalayan valleys where they harvest have been producing berries for thousands of years without the use of pesticides, fertilizers or heavy machinery. This is as organic as it gets.
Is it necessary to continue taking fish oils when using Sibu supplements?
The primary omega in all Sibu supplements is omega-7. Their supplements also have a plant-sourced omega-3 called ALA or alpha-linolenic acid. Fish oil supplements provide omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA. Both fish oil supplements and Sibu sea buckthorn supplements can be taken together if desired.
What is the timeframe to consume Sibu Liquid Supplement/Pure after opening?
Refrigerate after opening and consume the entire bottle within 30 days.
When is the right time to take Cellular Support Gel Caps and should they be taken with food?
The time of day is up to you. Pick a time when you know it will be convenient and you'll remember to take them. Taking your gel caps consistently and on a daily basis is key to achieving the results sea buckthorn can provide. Although you can take them with or without food, many Sibu customers prefer to take them with food. Research has shown that ingesting sea buckthorn with food can help the nutrients in your meal better assimilate in your body.
Is it appropriate to increase sea buckthorn intake on initial servings?
You will see results with the recommended dose mentioned on the packaging for that specific product. However, some people benefit from higher amounts depending on issue and age. Adults can safely triple the recommended dose for a "loading dose" or start with the recommended dose and increase dosage over time to find your optimal dose. No matter what dose you start with, it will take 4-6 weeks to start seeing noticeable results. This is the time it takes for the body to create new skin tissue and for it to rise to the surface.
Which skin type/skin issue do Sibu skincare products work best for?
Sibu's skincare line is especially effective for irritated, red, blemished and sensitive skin.
Which is better? Cleansing Face & Body Bar or Balancing Facial Cleanser?
The Cleansing Face & Body Bar is ideal if you're addressing irritated, sensitive or problematic skin. It can also be used on the entire body. The Cleansing Bar provides better therapeutic and repairing properties. The Balancing Facial Cleanser is ideal as your go-to cleanser to remove excess oils, toxins and impurities. It is also a great make-up remover. It is not recommended for people with sensitive skin as it has exfoliation beads which can irritate sensitive skin.
Which is better for skin? Sea buckthorn seed oil or fruit oil?
For external skin support use sea buckthorn seed oil. This works on the outer layers of skin to help repair, soothe and rejuvenate. This is a light oil that quickly absorbs and goes on clear. For internal use supplement with Sibu's sea buckthorn fruit oil. Sea buckthorn fruit oil has the scientific studies backing up the many skin benefits when it is taken internally, not when applied externally. Warning: if you apply sea buckthorn fruit oil topically, it will temporarily stain your skin an orange/red color.
What product is recommended to help acne?
How long until results can be seen?
How long will Sibu skincare products last if used daily?
Their skincare products are designed to last about 30 days if used twice daily. This does not apply to the larger sizes of Sibu's Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil (30 ml.), which will last 2-3 months.
Are Sibu products safe to use during pregnancy?
While many women take Sibu supplements during pregnancy, it is always recommend to speak with your health care practitioner if you have any concerns.
What's the difference between Sibu and other sea buckthorn or omega-7 brands?
Everything! There are many unique steps they take to insure they are providing the highest quality sea buckthorn products available.
About Sibu
The journey to create a successful company can be as arduous as scaling a Tibetan mountainside, but well worth the view from the top. Bruce McMullin founded Sibu in 2003 after series of events led him to Calcutta, India where he crossed paths with an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs. In passing, this expert mentioned a powerful holy fruit, the Sea Buckthorn berry.
From there McMullin's quest took him to new heights, figuratively and literally, as he journeyed to some of the most remote locations of the Himalayas to find the superior source of Sea Buckthorn that is the foundation for all Sibu products. In addition to being a successful entrepreneur, Bruce has a thirteen-year history of philanthropic efforts worldwide serving as executive chairman of Choice Humanitarian.
Sibu Story
Sibu is proud to offer an exclusive line of health & beauty products that will improve the way you look and the way you feel. But they are also sensitive to the constant stress on the environment due to chemicals, overflowing landfills and irresponsible management of forests and other valued resources.
For these reasons, Sibu Beauty is also proud to announce a range of sustainability initiatives which respect the earth and the resources it provides. From their easily recycled plastic and their partnership with the Forest Stewardship Council, to their fair trade harvesting practices in Tibet and philanthropic outreach, Sibu Beauty want to make a difference for your health and for the planet.
Sustainability & Fair Trade
In Sibu's endeavor to keep you looking beautiful, they also strive to protect and respect the earth's fragile resources. So they've implemented processes to use precious natural resources responsibly and with minimal impact on the beloved planet. Sea buckthorn berries are a naturally sustainable resource growing wild at the source in Tibet.
Sibu's trade practices promote equal and sustainable relationships between their company and the villagers who harvest and process their berries. This includes fair wages, processes that are environmentally sustainable, and healthy, safe working conditions.
Against a backdrop of pristine Himalayan mountain peaks, Tibetan villagers cut a trail through the thick morning fog past ancient monasteries, journeying to the wild groves of sea buckthorn. Just as sea buckthorn berries are revered for their life-giving health properties, they are also venerated as a life sustaining financial resource. Often, entire families work in some capacity in the chain of harvesting and processing. The brief harvest season can provide enough money so that villagers can sustain themselves during the harsh winter months in the Himalayas when resources are scarce. There is an air of celebration to the harvest and processing season. Perhaps it's because workers are paid a fair wage the same day as the harvest and processing. To date, these dedicated, hard-working villagers have received consistent salary increases each year. From the harvest to the shelf, Sibu strives to run a responsible business with reverence for both people and the planet.
Giving Back
You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give.
In 2001, Sibu Beauty founder Bruce McMullin established the Tashi Foundation, a non- profit philanthropic organization designed to provide financial and resource support for the impoverished people of Tibet, where Sibu sea buckthorn berries are exclusively harvested.
Bruce has been involved with Choice Humanitarian since 1996. Bruce and his wife Jean have taken their children on expeditions to Kenya on two different occasions. They have also been on two or three additional expeditions with the "Yehu Bank" where micro credit loans are made to women in Kenya.
Bruce has been a member of the "executive committee" of Choice Humanitarian and has been on numerous other committees in Choice. Additionally, Bruce has been the country director for Kenya.
Bruce and Jean have been the host and hostess of the "Choice Gala" for a few years where money is raised for the humanitarian effort.

FALLBURG, N. Y (Aug. 26)
Israel is "plagued" by a juvenile delinquency problem similar in many ways to the one experienced in American cities, Dr. I. Solomon Rosenberg, Israel Deputy Minister of Welfare, told the Greater New York Mizrachi Council, meeting here this weekend in conjunction with the Mizrachi national executive committee.
The great influx of immigrants in recent years, causing vast environmental changes, plus the fact that high school education is not free in Israel, are among the causes underlying juvenile delinquency in Israel, Dr. Rosenberg declared.
However, he said, delinquency develops more slowly in families with strong religious background, such as the Yemenite immigrants whose "background is among the most primitive and integration into modern Israeli society most difficult."
Introduction of Reform Judaism in Israel, the welfare official declared, would weaker the unifying religious traditions existing among the immigrants "by accentuating a feeling of difference among them; would serve to tear them asunder and permit accentuation of social, cultural, physical and educational differences which exist."

You've totally lost me here ... how do you speed up a beta when there are unknown number of bugs that have to be resolved before a release can happen? A beta's duration is as long as it takes to be stable ... Personally, I think this last beta period was one of our best ones yet ... considering the negligible number of bug reports following the release, we did exactly what had to be done in teh beta to make sure that the end result was as stable as possible for the testing pool we had ... Don't start trying to set arbitrary dates on when a beta should start, or end ... you'll just screw with what is already a very effective development model ... If you are so bored that you need to organize something, come up with a list of what we hope to accomplish for v7.3 and use that for a guideline for when the beta will start ... What major items do ppl have planned for v7.3? Once those items are completed, then we go into beta for v7.3 and beta lasts until we've gotten her to the point that she's as bug free as she can be without more extensive/broader testing ... If those major items are done on the 1st of April, I'll happily declare it the shortest development cycle we've had to date and go beta ... if it takes until the 1st of September, so be it ... but its not going to go beta until its ready, and its not going to be released until its ready ... and setting some arbitrary date is going to do one of two things: a) pressure developers into making mistakes that will make us look bad, or b) stiffle development while one developer figures "no way I'll get it done by then, so why bother" ... ... and that isn't to throw in the users that are going to say "but you said ... "

Let me understand the teaching of your precepts; then I will meditate on your wonders. My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. —Psalm 119:27-28
Salvation is more than a legal exchange affecting our position before God. Salvation also includes the exchange of deep, loving affections and love. As God communicates His enjoyment and affections for us, we in turn respond in a similar way. An intellectual understanding of the legal aspects of salvation is essential, but it is not the full counsel of God. We will never have more passion for God than we understand that He has for us. We will never be more committed to God than our understanding of His commitment to us.
Lord, I want more than a head knowledge of the salvation You have so graciously given to me. May my heart be gripped by a revelation of your passion and love for me.
The Holy Spirit must quicken our knowledge of God's passionate love
as the way He has chosen to impart it to our hearts.
