“Double Dragon (Special Collector’s Edition)” (1994, MVD Rewind Collection) In a post-apocalyptic, partially submerged Los Angeles, brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee (future Iron Chef America Chairman Mark Dascascos and Scott Wolf) must keep one half of a magical medallion out of the hands of crime lord Robert Patrick. Screen adaptation of the then-wildly popular video game is at least ten different kinds of candy-colored, spandex-wearing nonsense, but has enough self-depreciating humor to leaven the cartoonish fights and faux mysticism. Those that remember “Double Dragon” with fondness will be bowled over by MVD’s Collectors’ Edition Blu-ray/DVD, which bundles a new, hour-long documentary featuring several of the primary players, including producer Don Murphy (the “Transformers” franchise) and co-scripter Peter Gould (“Breaking Bad”) with vintage making-of featurettes, stills, storyboards and promo materials, and the pilot for an animated series pilot.
“Waterworld” (1995, Arrow Video) Taking the fate of the world proposed in “Double Dragon” to its most extreme conclusion, “Waterworld” dunks the entire globe under water after the polar ice caps melt (ahem) and leaves the fate of its survivors to gilled loner the Mariner (Kevin Costner). Long regarded as a textbook example of Hollywood ego and bloat, Kevin Reynolds‘ expensive sci-fi/fantasy epic isn’t as bad as you’ve heard – the visual effects and action set-pieces are impressive – but it’s also draggy and self-satisfied, and Costner (a good actor) is a deadly dull hero, which leaves Dennis Hopper‘s chain-smoking villain to keep things lively. Arrow Video’s Limited Edition Blu-ray set matches the film’s scope by offering three versions – the theatrical release, the TV edit, which adds 40 minutes of extended scenes, and the storied “Ulysses” edit, a fan-made cut which restored all the footage removed from the TV take – as well as new and vintage interviews with Reynolds and other primary crew, making-of featurettes, trailers and more.
“Next of Kin” (1982, Severin Films) Rarely seen Australian thriller about a rash of grisly murders at a retirement home that target the residents, and then the new proprietor (Jacki Kerin) whose mother was the former owner. New Zealand director Tony Williams imbues the material with arthouse polish and technique which smoothes over the clunky plot machinery; though not intended as a slasher picture (at least, by Williams), the murder set pieces are decidedly nasty, and Klaus Schulze (Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel) provides an unnerving electronic score. Severin’s Blu-ray is loaded with extras, including two commentary tracks (one with Williams, the other with Kerin and co-star John Jarrett of “Wolf Creek” fame), trailers and deleted scenes, and a location visit by Kier La-Janisse.
“Audition” (1999, Arrow Video) What happens to widowed TV producer Ryo Ishibashi when he visits the curiously empty apartment of Eihi Shiina – a woman he’s chosen to date via faux movie auditions – can be described as either the nastiest of surprises or pure nightmare fodder, depending on your tolerance for paralyzing drugs, saws and lots and lots of needles. Director Takashi Miike cemented his gonzo reputation with this film (along with “Ichi the Killer” and “Dead or Alive”) though it’s is a more somber and contemplative effort than those freakouts: Ishibashi’s emotional state is afforded as much screen time as the eventual mayhem, which makes the descent into that ugliness all the more unsettling. Arrow’s Blu-ray offers two commentaries – a conversational track with Miike and screenwriter Daisuke Tengan, and a more fact-driven track by Miike biographer Tom Mes – as well as interviews with the director and his cast, English and Japanese trailers (spoiler alert on the latter) and an appreciation of Miike’s work by Tony Rayns.
“The Appaloosa” (1966, Kino Lorber) The title horse is stolen by maniacal bandit John Saxon from grimy cowpoke Marlon Brando, who endures beatings and torture by Saxon’s men, as well as a bite from a scorpion used as incentive in an arm-wrestling match, to retrieve it. Violent Western drama that turns increasingly eccentric under Sidney J. Furie‘s mannered direction, which seems composed entirely of off-kilter framing and endless sweaty, Leone-esque close-ups by Russell Metty (who also makes excellent use of the California locations, which include Lancaster, the Antelope Valley, and Wrightwood); Brando mutters at length, but the scenes that pit his Method cool against Saxon’s Golden Globe-nominated boiling-point performance have a bite that’s lacking in the rest of the film. Kino’s Special Edition Blu-ray includes commentary by Retro Magazine publisher Lee Pfeiffer and historian Paul Scrabo.
And: a brace of bad behavior in black and white from the Warner Archives Collection. “Danger Signal” (1945) features Zachary Scott as a lonelyhearts murderer who meets his match in sisters Faye Emerson and Mona Freeman. Sordid B noir anchored by Scott in full heel mode, directed by the prolific Robert Florey with photography by James Wong Howe. “Full Confession” (1939) is more melodrama than noir, but comes packed with a heavy dose of shadows, anxious voice-overs and Catholic guilt courtesy of priest Joseph Calleia, who tries to convince burly Victor McLaglen to confess to a murder and save Barry Fitzgerald from the chair. Directed by John Farrow, who shot scenes at Brent’s Crags in Malibu. And “Kind Lady” (1935) stars Basil Rathbone as a con man who takes over the home of wealthy Aline MacMahon. Worth seeing for Rathbone, ever the elegant dastard; the WAC disc includes the 1951 remake with Maurice Evans and Ethel Barrymore as predator and prey, respectively, and inveterate scene-stealers Angela Lansbury and Keenan Wynn as Evans’ accomplices.

Ban urges flexibility, political will in climate talks
Updated: 2007-12-13 11:22
BALI, Indonesia -- United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday called for "flexibility" and "political will" in speeding up the ongoing negotiations aimed at adopting a Bali roadmap for a future climate agreement.
"We work for success, we don't work for failure. We must succeed at this Bali meeting. We must be able to launch negotiations for an international agreement by 2009 with a clear agenda," the UN chief told an afternoon press briefing following the opening of the High-Level segment of the Climate Change Conference.
Mr. Ban pointed out that science has made it quite clear that "climate change is happening"and "the impact is real", but all that was lacking was political will in addressing such a " defining challenge of our age". "I would really urge the major economic powers to exercise flexibility and to demonstrate their leadership."
The UN Secretary-General acknowledged that the two-year timeline to conclude negotiations was tight, given the scale and complexity of the task at hand.
"We really need to expedite our process of negotiation," he urged, adding that he would "spare no effort" in facilitating the process. He said that failure to exercise political leadership and act now would be tantamount to "betraying both our planet and our children".
On the contentious subject of emission reduction targets, Mr. Ban said that agreement on specific targets need only take place at a later stage in the negotiations.
Mr. Ban stressed that due to their "historical responsibilities" with regard to climate change, industrialized countries must take the lead in tackling the problem. He said they also had the necessary technological and financial capacity to do so, and that this capacity should be made available as an incentive to developing countries.
In response to a question about the position of the United States regarding the scope of a future climate agreement, Mr. Ban said that he had been in regular contact with US government leaders and had urged them to exercise flexibility as the world's largest economic power. He said it was encouraging that the United States supported the ongoing United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process.
On Wednesday, 144 ministers and high-level government representatives along with six heads of state gathered in Bali for the high-level segment of the UN climate conference, which is expected to launch negotiations on a new global deal on climate change.
The conference, the 13th Conference of the 192 Parties to the UNFCCC and the third meeting of the 176 Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, is being attended by more than 11,000 people, making it the largest UN climate change meeting ever held.

Why This Recipe Works
by Tim Chin
Nixtamalization is a chemical process that changes the color, flavor, and even nutritional profile of corn. Using nixtamalized corn in place of cornmeal in this recipe yields a nuttier, more complex cornbread. The bread develops an especially brown and rich-tasting crust where it comes in contact with the cast-iron skillet. In fact, we like the crust so much that we sometimes even serve the cornbread upside down.

“The rising wave of arrivals make our immigration advocacy more difficult. Their arrival has created some tensions, some questioning,” stated U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, a Chicago Democrat whose largely Latino district contains a big immigrant inhabitants. Folks have been “ready for many years for a chance to get a inexperienced card to legalize and have a pathway to citizenship.”
Asylum-seekers should wait six months for work authorization. Processing takes not more than 1.5 months for 80% of candidates, in response to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Providers.
The administration stated in September that it will work to cut back wait instances for work permits to 30 days for these utilizing the brand new pathways. By late September, it had blasted 1.4 million emails and texts reminding who was eligible to work.
José Guerrero, who labored in building after arriving 27 years in the past from Mexico, acknowledged many new arrivals felt compelled to flee their international locations. He says he needs the identical remedy.
“All these immigrants come they usually give them the whole lot so simply, and nothing to us which were working for years and paying taxes,” Guerrero, now a landscaper in Homestead. “They provide these folks the whole lot of their palms.”
Native information issues to each city. Help journalism now – each present helps
The White Home is asking Congress for $1.4 billion for meals, shelter and different providers for brand spanking new arrivals. The mayors of New York, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston wrote President Joe Biden final month to hunt $5 billion, noting the inflow has drained budgets and reduce important providers.
The mayors additionally assist momentary standing — and work permits — for individuals who have been within the U.S. longer however have centered on new arrivals.

For many years, the Latino Therapy Middle has offered assist with drug abuse to many immigrants dwelling in Chicago with out authorized standing.

“It’s such a novel scenario that we weren’t arrange for,” stated Adriana Trino, the group’s government director. “This has been an entire completely different wheelhouse, the wants are so completely different.”
Many organizations deny friction and say they’ve been capable of make ends meet.
“We’re attempting to maintain a steadiness of doing each — individuals who have been right here for years and people who find themselves arriving, and to date we’ve been capable of serve all people,” stated Diego Torres of the Latin American Coalition, which assists immigrants in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Nonetheless, it’s straightforward to search out immigrants with deep roots in the USA who chafe about unequal remedy.
A forty five-year-old Mexican lady who got here to the USA 25 years in the past and has three U.S.-born youngsters stated it was unfair that new arrivals get work permits over her. She earns $150 per week selecting candy potatoes in Homestead.

About Mercury Capri
The Mercury Capri was a two door sports coupe with a short trunk lid, later dropped for a hatchback, produced from 1970 to 1994. At its height in the late seventies, the Capri was the second highest import vehicle in North America. Capri body parts from this era are highly sought after by vintage automotive collectors, due to their styling, performance, and relative affordability. After a brief hiatus, the Mercury Capri returned to the North American market in 1991 as an import from Ford Australia. New Mercury Capri auto parts in this generation included either a SOHC 1.6 liter engine or a turbocharged DOHC 1.6 liter version.

Mecca, Saudi Arabia. A landmark that overlooks a landmark best describes the Fairmont Makkah Clock Royal Tower hotel.
Those traveling to the holy city of Mecca can enjoy their stay in a luxurious setting since Fairmont believes that a comfortable stay will make people feel more at ease while on pilgrimage.
"We entered the market after an intensive study [which revealed] that the average time for the people coming for umrah [a pilgrimage to Mecca outside the hajj season] is not only one-and-a-half days or two days like it used to be, [they] now [travel for] nearly three days," Fairmont hotel manager, Abdel Aziz Eid, told reporters last week.
Located adjacent to the Grand Mosque in Mecca, the Abraj Al-Bait complex consists of seven skyscraper hotels and Fairmont occupies the royal clock tower, which is the third-tallest building in the world, with a giant clock that is visible from up to 17 kilometers away.
The proximity and easy access to the Grand Mosque in Mecca are the most distinguishable features of the 76-storey hotel. Guests can take one of the 76 state-of-the-art elevators to the ground floor, which is connected to the Abraj al Bait Mall and the terrace of the mosque itself.
In April it may be relaxing to take a stroll between the hotel and the mosque, but it is a stark contrast during Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, where every corner of the Grand Mosque in Mecca will be occupied by worshippers.
To make guests more comfortable, Fairmont has planned well in advance for the peak season, offering two extensive prayer rooms. One of the prayer rooms on the second level is open all year, overlooking the Grand Mosque in Mecca. The second prayer room on the 29th floor is especially open during the peak seasons including the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, which occurs during Dhu al Hijjah, the last month in the Islamic calendar.
Each prayer room is equipped with a speaker broadcasting prayer calls as well as the imam's voice leading the prayers.
A Room With a View
A beacon in the heart of the holy city, the five-star hotel has a large variety of rooms catering to different preferences.
Each room offers one of three views, a view of the mosque, a view of the Kaaba and a view of the city.
Based on the size, the types of rooms offered are a twin, deluxe, triple, king and suites. Fairmont suites occupy 38 percent of the building.
Should guests prefer something more exclusive, they can opt for Fairmont Gold, which offers a private check-in and check-out service and a 24-hour butler service.
Fairmont Gold guests have the privilege to relax at the VIP lounge, that offers beverages all day, which is perfect for those who just want to sit back and sip Arabic coffee. Breakfast and snacks are also available in the lounge.
Fairmont Gold also has five floors reserved for state officials and other high-profile government officials from around the world. The suites as offer a recluse for the guests. Besides a team of butlers to cater to every need, the full view of the mosque as well as special dining and massage rooms, guests will enjoy the extra privacy and security offered.
"We are receiving many top guests from all over the country. Most of them come alone just for Allah even though they are usually surrounded by strict security guards," Fairmont senior head butler, Hossam Morsi said.
To ensure privacy, the floors have their own meeting rooms for intimate gatherings.
Variety of Dining Choices
Other than lavish rooms, all the guests are guaranteed to enjoy the hotel entertainment.
"What's the entertainment in Mecca? It cannot be baseball, ballet or opera – it's food," the hotel manager said.
While other hotels offer just one restaurant for all the guests, the Fairmont boasts an extensive gastronomic portfolio.
There is the standard 24-hour in-room dining. They also boast two cafes, Mazaq and Mirkaz, which are perfect for afternoon breaks or short meetings with colleagues. Skilled sommeliers also offer the best teas and coffees to match the patisseries at
They also boast two cafes, Mazaq and Mirkaz, which are perfect for afternoon breaks or short meetings with colleagues. Skilled sommeliers also offer the best teas and coffees to match the patisseries at Mazaq, while Mirkaz is for the coffee lovers.
The finest cuts of meat are found at The Grill steakhouse.
Miscellaneous international cuisines from Asia, North Africa and the Mediterranean are served all day in a casual manner at Atyaf.
Another restaurant, Aja, also offers mixed Asian cuisine and specializes in Indonesian and Malaysian dishes, including nasi goreng, or fried rice. Considering that around 20 percent of the guests are Indonesian, Fairmont goes the extra mile to make them feel right at home.
Indian delicacies are offered at Mazedar, while high-end Turkish cuisine is available at Lezzet. Al-Dira, meanwhile, offers a Lebanese buffet.
The hotel is also home to the first five-star Saudi restaurant in the country, promising an unforgettable experience for guests tasting their dishes for the first time.
The hotel also can accommodate meetings and conferences with over 3,200 square meters of flexible function space including three ballrooms and eight meeting rooms.
The ballroom is extremely versatile because it is not just for festive events. It can also be turned into a dining venue for a giant group of umrah performers if booked in advance.
Business aside, relaxation is paramount. Fairmont offers separate male and female health clubs, which include a children's corner, jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms.
Overall, the hotel offers state of the art facilities combined with world-class service so that guests can enjoy their stay in Mecca in luxury and comfort.

John T. McChesney
Once James J. Hill had formed the Everett Improvement Company, he needed someone in whom he had the utmost confidence to run it. The man he chose was John T. McChesney. In his early 40s at the time, McChesney had been a bank president, mayor of Aberdeen, South Dakota, and head of the syndicate that organized Chattanooga, Tennessee, before he came to Everett in late 1899. Like his boss, McChesney never owned or operated an Everett wood products plant, but he was enormously influential in the development of the city’s industrial base. With Hill, he recruited leading lumbermen to Everett. Though the Everett Improvement Company, he offered them sites on Everett Improvement Company property at little or no cost. The North Waterfront, like other sections of Everett Waterfront, was soon filled with lumber and shingle mills and Everett flauted its reputation as the “City of Smokestacks.”
McChesney’s organizational genius was not limited to the lumber industry. Among his many activities he founded the American National Bank, served as its president, and constructed a splendid brick structure on the southeast corner of Hewitt and Colby avenues to house the bank. He also built the Everett Theater next to the bank, and the Improvement Dock on the bayfront. Additionally, he was active in organizations such as the Cascade Club, Rotary Club, Everett Elks, the golf and country clubs of both Everett and Seattle, and Seattles Rainier Club.
When McChesney died in September 1922 he left a wife, three grown children, and 10 grandchildren. On the day of McChesney’s funeral, Everett’s mayor W.H. Clay asked that all flags be flown at half-mast and all businesses close their doors for the first five minutes of the service. Clay requested this as a tribute to a man he described as “our distinguished citizen who has been foremost in the upbuilding of our city from its very early history and the real leader for many years in its industrial growth.”

I mucked around with this and finally went back to the original Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s version. He has a new version that uses a tincture of the cinchona bark.
I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like a good idea. I have tried it and prefer it to this recipe. Check out the new version here, but this original isn’t bad at all! I probably don’t use quite as much lemongrass. This with 209 Gin is unbelievable!
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup chopped lemongrass (roughly one large stalk)
- ¼ cup powdered cinchona bark
- zest and juice of 1 orange
- zest and juice of 1 lemon
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 tsp. whole allspice berries
- ¼ cup citric acid
- ¼ tsp. Kosher salt
- ¾ cup of agave syrup for each cup of liquid
- Combine ingredients, except agave, in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once mixture starts to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Strain through a fine sieve, coffee filter, cheese cloth, Pur Filter or all of these until your liquid is as clear and free of sediment as possible.
- Once you’re satisfied with the clarity of your mix, heat it back up on the stove top or microwave, and then add ¾ cup of agave syrup to each cup of your hot mix.
- Stir until combined, and store in the attractive bottle of your choice.
You now have a syrup that you can carbonate with seltzer water. Tonic water is ¾ oz. Quinine Syrup to 2 oz. soda water.
To assemble a gin and tonic, use ¾ ounce of syrup, 2 ounces of gin and 2 ounces of soda water over ice.


SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown announced Monday he has signed legislation requiring California drivers to stay at least 3 feet away when passing bicyclists.
The proposal from Assemblyman Steven Bradford, D-Gardena, is intended to better protect cyclists from aggressive drivers. It states that if drivers cannot leave 3 feet of space, they must slow down and pass only when it would not endanger the cyclist's safety.
The law will go into effect Sept. 16, 2014. Current law requires a driver to keep a safe distance when passing a bicyclist but does not specify how far that is.
At least 22 states and the District of Columbia define a safe passing distance as a buffer of at least 3 feet, according to a legislative analysis of the bill.
Bradford's bill, AB1371, was sponsored by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, an avid cyclist who was injured in 2010 after a taxi driver abruptly pulled in front of him. It also drew support from several cyclist groups, such as the California Association of Bicycling Organizations.

(preliminary) Brain Dynamics is an introduction for graduate students and nonspecialists from various backgrounds to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences.
The approach in this book is through pulsed-coupled neural networks, with at their core the lighthouse and integrate-and-fire models, which allow for the highly flexible modelling of realistic synaptic activity, synchronization and spatio-temporal pattern formation. As a more advanced topic, pulse-averaged equations and their application to movement coordination are discussed. The book closes with a short analysis of models versus the real neurophysiological system. The second edition has been thoroughly updated and augmented by an extensive chapter that discusses the interplay between pattern recognition and synchronization. Further, to enhance the usefulness as textbook and for self-study, the detailed solutions of all XX exercises throughout the text have been added.

Mosa Mkhize– Mosa is the International Affairs Manager at SASA
Following the conclusion of the protracted negotiations that lasted for more than ten years, the South African Development Community (SADC)–European Union (EU) Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) provisionally entered into force on 10 October. This after the SADC EPA Group (comprising Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland) and the EU finalised their due ratification processes that were prerequisites for implementation.
In short, the EPA enables SADC EPA member states the opportunity to export agricultural and industrial products to the EU on a preferential basis. In return, the EU has access to the SADC market under relaxed terms of trade for various products. This milestone therefore signifies the beginning of a new era between the partners as they seek to promote regional integration and broaden inter-bloc economic cooperation, which are some of the objectives of the EPA.
A new era
For South Africa and the EU, the entering into force of the EPA replaces the trade provisions of the bilateral Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA). The EPA can be considered to be an improvement of the TDCA to the extent that South Africa will have increased access into the EU market for sugar, wine, ethanol, flowers, fresh fruits, some dairy products, fruit juice, canned fruit and yeast amongst others.
Some of the benefits that will be derived by South Africa and the EU include the EU protecting 105 of South Africa’s Geographical Indications (GIs). These include 102 wine lines and three agricultural product names, namely Rooibos, Honeybush and Karoo Lamb. South Africa will protect 253 of the EU’s GIs, which consist of 120 wine lines, 7 beers, 22 spirits, and 104 agricultural product names (special meats, cheeses, olives etc).
EU Market access for sugar
New agriculture market access (including sugar) will enter into force from 1 November this year, following the EU and South Africa exchanging letters to confirm the protection of each other’s GIs. From then, South Africa will have duty-free access for 150 000 tons of sugar into the EU (on a pro-rata basis for the rest of 2016). The provisional entering into force, both SADC and EU member states, are sure to reap the benefits that have been secured through the EPA.

Serine/Threonine-Protein Phosphatase 2A
Since Krebs and Fischer (1956) discovered that the activity of an enzyme (glycogen phosphorylase) can be regulated by a reversible phosphorylation, much attention has been paid to the enzymes catalyzing these covalent modifications: the protein kinases and protein phosphatases. As opposed to protein kinases, it has taken much more time to understand the action of protein phosphatases, mainly because of their complex molecular structure and broad substrate specificities. Nevertheless, protein phosphatases are equally important in controlling biochemical pathways, adding reversibility and sensitivity to these processes.
While the first kinase (phosphorylase kinase) was isolated soon after the discovery of the concept of reversible protein phosphorylation, the biochemical isolation of the first phosphataseneeded about 20 more years: ethanol denaturation (accidently...

Amsterdam has a great tradition on considerable investment in green areas at large scale urban expansion. In the years 1940 – 1950, 50.000 houses were built in districts like ‘Bos en Lommer’ and ‘Buitenveldert’, with comprehensive park landscapes in between: the parkwedges of the city. More then seventy years later, the pressure on the parkwedges is increasing, due to the colossal construction and climate related challenges. Karres en Brands is part of the annual programme of Architecture Centre Amsterdam (Arcam), that addresses the Parks of Amsterdam and their (re)development.
Together with three offices, Flux Landscape, BOOM Landscapes and Lama Landscape Architects, we examined the question how a productive parkwedge can be an attractive scenery and simultaneously offer an economic and ecological surplus. Karres en Brands is assigned for two parkwedges, the ‘Amstelscheg’ and the ‘Diemerscheg’. The results of this research will be presented at the exhibition and in the manifesto. The manifesto unites the results of the four design teams and provides 10 clear guidelines for the future of the parkwedges. The fist copy shall be handed to the aldermen of Spatial Development and Sustainability, Marieke van Doorninck. After the presentation the exhibition will be festively opened.
Join us at the opening of the exhibition and the launch of the Manifesto of the Parks at Friday the 13th of December, starting at 16.00!
