Mesozoic and Cenozoic Geologic History and Paleogeography of Southwestern North America
Dr. Ron Blakey
Professor Emeritus, Northern Arizona University
Host: Bonnie Bloeser
Wednesday, May 3 , 2017
CSL 422 – 1 pm
The southwestern Cordilleran region was constructed during several distinct tectonic phases over the last 200 million years. Following late Paleozoic terrane accretion, backarc spreading, and the Sonoman orogen, the region was bordered by a west-facing subduction zone with a continental arc to the south and a marine arc farther north. During the Late Triassic and Jurassic, this early Cordilleran subduction zone evolved through several iterations that were marked by complex, poorly understood fringing arcs, ophiolite accretion, and the Nevadan orogen. By the Late Jurassic, the Cordilleran arc/subduction zone stretched from Mexico to Alaska to form an Andean-style margin. The Late Jurassic accretion of Wrangellia generated additional tectonic complications, especially along the northern margin of the region. Farther south in Mexico, the Guerrero terrane accreted in the Early Cretaceous. Following these events, rapid subduction of the Farallon Plate generated voluminous magma along the entire Cordilleran margin. Throughout most of the Cretaceous, the arc complex was marked by a prominent subduction zone – the Franciscan complex, a forearc basin – the Great Valley sequence, and the magmatic arc that included the Sierran, Salinian, Mojave, and Peninsular segments. At ca. 80 Ma, a thickened oceanic slab entered the subduction zone along the margin from the northern Peninsular segment to the southern Sierra segment creating havoc to the entire arc complex; subduction flattened, arc magmatism migrated far eastward into Colorado and New Mexico, and large fragments of the forearc were tectonically eroded or subducted. During the early Cenozoic, normal subduction gradually returned as arc magmatism swung westward across the southern Western Interior leaving behind large volcanic centers.
The final chapter of the geologic evolution began ca. 35 Ma as the East Pacific Rise intercepted the coast at the present latitude of San Diego and expanded both northward and southward to generate a transform margin; as the transform grew, subduction ended along that margin. The Pacific Plate now bordered North America and the rapidly west-moving plate pulled at the North American margin and created a vast zone of extension, normal faulting marked by significant horizontal displacement, and basaltic magmatism. The most complex interaction between the Pacific and North American plates occurred along the northern Peninsular segment where several microplates were transferred from North America to the Pacific Plate. The resulting extension, plate rotation, and northward migration along the Cordillera generated the San Andreas fault system, the Transverse Ranges, and the California Continental Borderlands. Within this complex Miocene to recent setting, a series of mostly deepwater, partitioned basins separated by sharp, narrow uplifts deposited organic-rich sediments.
This complex geologic history can best be portrayed by a series of paleogeographic and paleotectonic maps that clearly show the evolving landscapes and tectonic setting of the southern Cordilleran region.

What is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership?
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a free trade deal currently being negotiated between the European Commission and the US government. Its stated aim is to remove trade barriers in a wide range of economic sectors in order to make it easier to buy and sell goods and services between the two partners.
We want negotiators to make a proactive consumer agenda the starting point for this trade agreement
Is it a good thing?
A deal done well would mean consumers could be offered a wider variety of products at lower prices. We want negotiators to make a proactive consumer agenda the starting point for this trade agreement, one which should not deliver a reduction in standards, but focus on actual consumer issues such as making imports of personal purchases cheaper or decreasing transatlantic roaming charges.
Or should I be worried?
- In the EU we believe prevention is better than cure, that’s why we apply strict safety rules throughout the production chain. Food not produced according to those same rules should not end up on our plates.
- There are substantial differences on both sides of the Atlantic in the regulation of cosmetics; the EU bans 1,328 hazardous chemicals, while the US bans only 11. ‘Freeing’ trade on cosmetics would not be the solution.
- Under current EU laws, consumers have a series of data protections and fundamental rights which do not exist in the US. With personal data high on the agenda of a negotiated trade deal, consumers might see these essential protection standards undermined. That’s why we call for data flows to be excluded from the TTIP negotiations.
- Granting more power to pharmaceutical companies on pricing and reimbursement decisions could lead to less affordable medicines in Europe. This is being demanded by the industry, but European consumers certainly do not need it to happen.
- Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is a legal mechanism which allows foreign corporations to sue governments before special tribunals comprised of three private arbitrators if they feel their investments are ‘endangered’ by government decisions. This would include public interest policies on tobacco, obesity, minimum wages and nuclear safety policies. We want ISDS to be discarded from the TTIP negotiations.
What can I do?
Negotiations are being conducted behind closed doors, a method which does not feed trust and prompts cautiousness amongst European citizens. Transparency can help risks to consumer protections to be flagged and addressed early in the negotiating process.You can call upon your national and European representatives to demand full transparency in the TTIP negotiations now!
Join your voice for full transparency with the voice of national and international NGOs! This is the only way our demands be known and respected!
Negotiations started in July 2013 and until April 2015, 9 rounds of discussions have taken place with specific sectors-items on the agenda. The final agreement would have 24 chapters, grouped together in 3 parts:
- Market access
- Regulatory cooperation
- The website of our consumer Transatlantic forum http://tacd.org/topics/policy/ttip
- The specific blog of our European Federation of consumer associations http://www.beuc.eu/blog/
- Gives information/advice to the individual consumer and handles their complaints. So far the complaints of about 174.000 consumers have been addressed
- Represents consumers in several national and international committees
- Takes legal actions (collective and class actions) on behalf of consumers with a favorable outcome and over 4 million € have been returned to consumers
- Has significant experience in Out of Court dispute settlement as 90% of consumer disputes handled so far have been amicably settled and over 16 million € have been returned to the consumers concerned
- Has significant experience in simplifying scientific issues intended for the general public
- Cooperates with other consumer NGO’s at national, European and international level
- Cooperates with competent authorities, universities, research centers at national and European level
- Conducts studies and researches
- Publishes books, leaflets, newsletter
- Organizes conferences/seminars, campaigns, addresses speeches to target groups
- Has established a national network of over 200 schools supporting their consumer education activities
- Has coordinated for 5 years the EU project ‘Young European Consumer Competition’
- Has undertaken several seminars intended for teachers training on consumer protection issues and has developed relevant educational material
- Gives speeches to teachers, students of primary / secondary education, parents’ and other associations, about consumer protection, food and health issues.
- So far has carried out 86 national and EU projects while other 4 (1 EU and 3 national) are running.

While the Feast of the Ascension marks the end of Jesus’ life here on earth, it does not mark the end of his involvement in our lives. In fact, Jesus’ involvement in our lives is ubiquitous. And among other things, his involvement constantly reminds us of our human responsibility to others.
Covid-19 has underscored the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots. As the director of Saint Anne Hope Ministries, I’m witness to hundreds of have-nots. Some have lost their jobs and struggle to find ways to feed their families. Others wait in hope to return to the job they once had, so they can pay everyday bills. Still, others are anxious because salary reductions have also reduced their ability to pay their rent.
Here at Saint Anne, parishioners take their responsibility to those in need very seriously. From volunteering to serve, to contributions made to assist those in need, the generosity of Saint Anne parishioners is overwhelming.
At Saint Anne Hope Ministries, more than 300 volunteers, many of them parishioners, contribute their time at the House of Hope Resale Shop to help fund Project Hope, which is one of the parish’s outreach arms to the poor. Another 30 volunteers routinely assist to serve those in need at the Project Hope office and food pantry. Because of all these volunteers, Hope Ministries has successfully been able to help nearly 200 families, representing nearly 650 people, month-after-month despite the pandemic. With the House of Hope currently closed, volunteers who have committed so much time and effort over the years should be proud that their work has helped sustain and support the ministry at a time of great need.
That includes supporting organizations that help the ministry extend its mission — to help families in crisis find their way back to self-sufficiency. Hope Ministries Board of Advisors and Father Bernie recently approved more than $100,000 in grants to organizations helping support vulnerable populations move forward with their lives. Barrington Area Council on Aging, Barrington Giving Day, Catholic Charities, FISH of Carpentersville, Fellowship Housing, Leyden Family Services, Little Sisters of the Poor, Samaritan Counseling Center and St. Columbanus Food Pantry, will all ensure those in crisis receive immediate assistance. Additional funding to other organizations will be considered as the House of Hope reopens.
There has also been an outpouring of support from the Saint Anne community at large. Generous parishioners contribute to ensure families in need continue to have access to food, gas, utility support and rental assistance. Others have provided masks and cleaning products. Countless others have willingly asked to be on the front lines of food distribution.
Jesus is active in our lives. The Saint Anne Catholic Community provides an ongoing example of that.
Director, Hope Ministries

The sky was a beautiful blue. Its blue canopy hovered over me as I walked down the crowded street. The roads were filled with cars and the sidewalks, lined with plenty of Natives. It was the most beautiful place in the world! Palm trees swayed with the wind and the sun gave off its heated rays. Roxie pulled at her leash, tugging me deeper into the crowd. We followed many signs til we got to another four way stop.
I held the paper closer to my face to get a good look at the print; it was my new address, it was beginning to crumple a bit from all the handling. I shielded my eyes from the sun as I looked up at the sign before me. Its color had been dimmed from the over exposure to the sun. I smiled to myself before stepping down onto the crosswalk. I remember looking online for that one apartment, that perfect one. I had spent at least an hour just looking for one that had at least one bedroom and one bath. The results weren’t that great; five bedrooms and two baths. Who buys a place like that anyways? Through all the clicking and typing, I finally came up with one. It’s had small rooms that could easily fit in a large queen bed and another room for the office. The kitchen was a decent size for a two bedroom apartment; granite countertops, oven, fridge and sink. It seemed almost too perfect along with the deal I was getting.
I had called my college totally a head of time so I could squeeze in the classes for what I needed. The Waikiki Aquarium had called me few days after that, which I responded to as soon as I could. They had the perfect position for me too, a tech working with the veterinarians for a bit to gain my skill. The whole deal seemed pretty amazing, moving Hawaii and living in this beautiful paradise. So with all my planning ahead, I was able to be here, standing at the front desk of the Leasing Center, waiting to collect my key.
“Aloha, miss, how may I help you?” The young woman with a native accent said sweetly. She leaned over the desk to look at Roxie. “Cute dog you have there.”
“Oh! Thank you. I am looking for my apartment key.” I smiled at her as I pulled out a paper with all the details about my apartment.
“1229, is that correct?” She asked me as she slid her glasses into place.
“That sounds correct to me.” I said excitedly. I wanted to just leap and bound around the building. The woman went into the drawer at her waist and pulled out a silver key which she then gave to me.
“Enjoy your new apartment, Aloha!” She called to me as I waved to her on my way out.
I searched for the apartment for a long while, going up and down halls looking for the right numbers. 1229, 1229 I repeated to myself before finally stopping in front of my door. I pushed the key in and peeked into the room. It was completely breath taking! All the modern furniture all set up and ready for its new owner. I kneeled down once we were inside and unhooked Roxie from her chain that bound her. Her nose went straight to work; sniffing the sofas, then pulling her to the kitchen where she sniffed up the fridge’s crease. She seemed content with my choice and so did I!
There was a soft knock at the door. My feet seemed so light that I felt like I was just flying over to the door. With a quick twist and pull the door swung open.
“Aloha, your bags are here.” He motioned to the large pile of suitcases behind him. My eyes brightened and I beckoned him in.
“Just put them here, in the living room.” I smiled, helping him haul all the suitcases into the living room. “Thank you so much.” I said as he clapped softly and smiled at me.
“Pleasure was all mine, miss.” He dismissed himself.
I squealed to myself, my feet lifting off the ground in a repeat rhythm of ups and downs. I twisted in a small tight circle which I called my ‘happy dance’. Roxie padded around my feet, wanting to celebrate with me, this was going to be so exciting! For the rest of the night, I spent my time unpacking and getting to know my surroundings. Once unpacked, I sunk into the couch and just looked around. The walls were bright and the touch of art was put onto the walls and shelves. It was a really lovely thing to see. Roxie jumped onto the couch next me and laid her head on my lap; my hand automatically petting her soft fur. I stared into her eyes for a while before sighing.
“Want to go for a walk, little girl?” I smiled at her as I began to sit up, causing her to jump to the carpeted flooring. “Of course you want to go on a walk!” I laughed, holding up her pick leash. Then we both made our way to the door, letting the cool Hawaiian breeze cool our faces.
The sand sunk in between my toes as we walked along the shore line; the sun was resting its tired rays on the horizon. The colors were rippling towards us in small waves, rushing to the sand then gliding back to the ocean. The sight was so beautiful, but Roxie was too busy to even notice. She was too occupied in what the waves were doing. My flip flops dangled between my fingers; I swayed them back and forth. To my right the shops were still alive and open; their bright lights casting their reflection onto the damp sand. At times, the sound of surfers could be heard; they came trotting onto the beach, their hair wet and their bodies dripping. Some waved to me as Roxie and I crossed their path, their wet skin shining in the remains of the sun’s rays.
I tugged Roxie’s leash as I lead her up onto the boardwalk. It was quite beautiful up here; you could see everything, the waves crashing into the beach, surfers coming out of the water. I leaned against the railing, staring at the scene before me. Roxie pushed her small head in between the rails, looking over into the water. Her curly tail waving back and forth; I giggled softly to myself.
“Isn’t just so beautiful?” a soft voice said from beside me. An Asian woman around my height was standing close to me. Her black hair was cut short and it cupped her face, her skin was a dark tan but her face was a perfect oval. She was quite beautiful compared to my American looks.
“Oh, yes…quite beautiful.” I smiled and looked back over to the Ocean.
“I come down onto the boardwalk every night to watch all the surfers come in.” She pointed a slender finger over to the surfers coming in still. I just nodded silently. “My son is down there somewhere.” Out of the corner of my eye I saw her smile.
“A son? How old are you?” I question, double taking on her young face.
“I’m thirty! How old did you think I was?” She giggled before turning slightly towards me to look at me.
“Oh I don’t know maybe early twenties or so…I was going to say that it’s too early to have a son!” I exclaimed, laughing to myself. She giggled at my comment then shook her head.
“No, no, of course not! I got married when I was about…” She trailed off, looking into the distant. “When I was about twenty four.” She laughed and then looked to me. “What about you married?” I just shook my head and then glanced at Roxie.
“No, it’s just me and my little girl here.” I motioned to Roxie who was still busy looking over at the water.
“Hey mom,” a male voice shouted from the other end of the boardwalk. “Hey mom, dad is wondering when you are coming back in.” I turned to looked at her. She gave me an apologetic look before smiling at her son.
“I’ll be right up, Sean.” Her eyes met mine “It was very nice meeting you; I hope that I meet you here again tonight.” She paused once more. “My husband and I run a diner up there, that restaurant, you are free to come up and visit anytime you wish!” She offered before making her way up the boardwalk. She was sweet, maybe I could become friends with her to have someone I know around here. I shrugged to myself then pulled on Roxie’s leash, telling her it was time to go home.
I finally started work, which made me relax a bit more knowing I was now gaining income. It wasn’t that hard of a job, in fact I enjoyed it. The hot sun was on me all day, burning my shoulders and making me want to run into the building for cover. For the first week, they ordered me to run desk work, and tours; which wasn’t so bad, except for the annoying tourist who began to complain about everything. I didn’t want to bother with them when they got snippy with me; I decided taking the end of the tour into the building was a better idea. It gave them a chance to cool down and enjoy the AC. Though at the end of the day when all the staff began to wrap everything up, I found myself wandering over to the Sea Turtle exhibit. I would sit down on the rock bench and just lean over to watch them dance through the still water. They were like flying, rippling masterpieces. Sighing, I would get back up and help everyone close up the Aquarium.
As evening would set in and settle down on the horizon, I would hook Roxie up and slip on my flip flops, then make my way down to the beach. It was like the first time, seeing the surfers come up; all wet and shiny, the shops and restaurants all lit up and still open for customers. Every time my feet would press into the cool, wet sand, shivers would sprint up my spine, making me shiver and smile. I began meeting Lori on the Boardwalk every night, we would talk about her restaurant and then she would ask me about my American life. Bantering back and forth would lead us to about near midnight. A few times, she tried to get me to come up to the diner but I told her I had worked the next day which made her apologize. I told her I would be up to see the diner soon though. Which did sound very nice at the time but it was just too late at night.
I started school in a few weeks; I was pretty interested in finding out what was in store for me. I had really started to blend into the crowd now, I felt like I was a part of this whole island in a way. I lost all my American eating habits, like take-out food from taco bell when making dinner would be too much of a time consumer. I began to eat fish for dinner, running to the market just for a fresh fish so I could eat it. All my habits were changing; even working was becoming a new thing for me since they moved me to Vet Tech now. School now was also going to be beginning, I just felt like everything was falling into place…well sorta.

In my earlier posts on congee and panna cotta, I wrote about how different colours in food often carry unique characteristics, flavours and connotations - that's why we're recommended to eat at least five different colours of food every day, right?
Well, I'm not sure many of us live up to that lofty ideal, but I'd like to introduce a sweet soup today made of my favourite colour: purple. It's interesting that there isn't actually much purple food around. I can think of aubergine (eggplant), but that's just the skin. I'm sure there're other purple ingredients, but it seems much rarer than other colours. Incidentally, the rarest colour in food has got to be blue, which is a rare pigment in nature.
In recent years, however, purple food has been all the rage. Think of purple potatoes and purple broccoli. I'm sure they have always been around, but the exponential growth in their popularity is staggering. Fifty years ago who would have dreamt of eating a purple potato or broccoli? The major factor in their recently popularity (apart from their catchy colour) is their exceptional nutritional values. Take purple potatoes, for instance: unlike white potatoes, they are rich in the antioxidant anthocyanin. This flavonoid has been shown to be an immune system booster and aid in the prevention of certain cancers, and more importantly, promote weight loss!
Turning to the Orient, one purple ingredient has been in constant use for thousands of years: purple rice. It is in fact one variety of unrefined glutinous (sweet) rice. It has long been prized as a superfood in China and in ancient times it was reserved for the royalty. It is extraordinarily rich in vitamins, minerals, iron, melanin and has four essential amino acids. Curiously, its use is mainly in sweet dishes, usually soaked and steamed before mixing with sugar and other ingredients. The purple rice soup I'm writing about today is one of the few liquid applications of this ingredient, and is hugely popular in Hong Kong. I've served it to many Chinese friends from other regions and they all loved it. It's really easy to make too.
Think of this as a congee made with purple rice, sweetened with sugar and fortified with coconut milk. It is important that you soak the purple rice thoroughly first otherwise it would be very difficult to cook and soften.
1. Rinse the purple rice briefly and add water to cover generously. Add 1/2 tsp salt for every 250g of rice, stir well and let soak for at least 5 hours. The salt helps to soften the grains. Caution: The rice will yield a lot of sweet soup after cooking. Don't start with too much rice unless you really want to cook a huge portion!
|I used 500g of rice this time - enough for a huuuge pot.|
2. Now add water (don't throw away the soaking water! It's full of nutrients!) and cook the rice in a large pan. The rice to water ratio should be about 1:10. Bring to a boil before turning down to medium-low and simmer for an hour with the lid on. Stir the bottom of the pan from time to time to prevent scorching.
|It looks almost black and rather dull right now. Fear not, things will lighten up when you add the coconut milk.|
|Taste the rice - it should be chewable.|
|Looking more like it now, but I felt that it still needed more coconut milk...|
|So I added another can. Doesn't it look like latte art?|
4. Season with sugar and salt. Don't be alarmed by the addition of salt. Like many southeast-asian desserts, it needs salt to give body to the sweetness. As far as sugar is concerned, err on the side of adding too little rather than too much - the coconut milk adds a natural sweetness and it will taste sweeter when cool. You can always add more sugar later if you decide that it's not sweet enough.
5. Leave to cool to room temperature. I like to add some tapioca pearls to add some texture to the soup, but it's optional. If you want to add it, do it now (not when it's hot). You will also notice that the soup has thickened visibly upon cooling. Serve chilled or hot. (For instructions on how to cook tapioca pearls, please refer to my earlier post on melon tapioca soup.)

Singing connected with movements and action is a much more ancient, and, at the same time, more complex phenomenon than is a simple song.
I've learned that ayahuasca works in levels, a little like peeling an onion. It is complex and something you really have to experience to understand.
China's economy became more complex. By now there is a large number of small- and medium-sized companies that work quite differently from big, state-owned enterprises. They don't follow any long-term business plan and don't rent office space for years to come. They start out and need an office right away, for a week, a month or half a year, and they want to be among other entrepreneurs like themselves.
The Sunnis continue to see themselves, possibly for nostalgic reasons, as the most influential group and want a stronger central government - quite unlike minorities in other countries. The circumstances here are far more complex than many people in Washington imagine.
I'd like to be able to do complex math in my head. Any kind of adversity and I become very anxious, but if you're a robot, you have good equilibrium. I wish I was cooler under pressure, like a robot.
I started working with synthesizer players, and I had to find new instruments. I needed a more complex sound, so I went to a surplus place and got a bunch of hard plastic stuff and stainless steel stuff, and that stuff worked. So from that point on, from the 70s on, I've made instruments.
Mastery... is to work toward simplicity; replace complex technology with knowledge, hard work, and skill.
The hardest thing in the world is to simplify your life; it's so easy to make it complex.
A statue of Apollo in a museum does not seem naked, but attach a tie to its neck and it will strike us as indecent ... The text is one of the components of an artistic work, albeit an extremely important component ... But the artistic effect as a whole arises from comparisons of the text with a complex set of ontological and ideological esthetic ideas.
Certain supplementary restrictions imposed on the text compel us to perceive it as poetry. As soon as one assigns a given text to the category of poetry, the number of meaningful elements in it acquires the capacity to grow and the system of their combinations also becomes more complex.
Artistic simplicity is more complex than artistic complexity for it arises via the simplification of the latter and against its backdrop or system.

I started to notice that simpleness is divine. I think we all start trying to use very complex harmonies and rhythms and all that because of a certain kind of ambition. But I was always trying to create something simple.
Children are the boldest philosophers. They enter life naked, not covered by the smallest fig leaf of dogma, absolutes, creeds. This is why every question they ask is so absurdly naÃ¯ve and so frighteningly complex.
The highly complex, almost mathematical, nature of music creates for it an ironclad protection against the microbes of dilletantism, which penetrate much more easily into the fields of painting, literature, and the theater.
Dogma, static positions, consonance - all these are obstacles to catching the disease of art, at least in its more complex forms.
By complex ways, by looking deep into the dark well of the human soul, full of filth, somewhere at the very bottom of it Chekhov at last found his faith. And this faith turned out to be faith in man, in the power of human progress. And man became his god.

What we call matter is only a complex of energies which we find together in the same place.
Mountaineering is a complex and unique way of life, interweaving elements of sport, art and mysticism. Success or failure depends on the ebb and flow of immense inspiration. Detecting a single rule governing this energy is difficult - it arises and vanishes like the urge to dance and remains as mysterious as the phenomenon of life itself.
I had this big complex because I didn't go to college. There was a whole era where I got linked to everybody. People that I had never met. I was like, "How? I'm home alone reading chapter 12 of a book."
Tips can make someone a better writer but not necessarily a good writer. That's a larger package - a matter of character. Golfing is more than keeping the left arm straight. Every good golfer is a complex engine that runs on ability, ego, determination, discipline, patience, confidence, and other qualities that are self-taught. So it is with writers and all creative artists. If their values are solid their work is likely to be solid.
Mysteries simply are a feast for an active mind. And while in my lifetime I've seen science make extraordinary inroads into solving the most complex questions of life, after all this time I admit that I am thrilled that there are some things that forever will remain a mystery. For example, do I wear a toupee?
Even one word, or certainly one sentence, should be able to describe the basic characteristic that the scene has, or the character has, or the story has. And then you begin to detail that one spine, and you have offshoots from that spine, and it becomes more and more complex, but all of it stems from that one-word, one-line theme, which can give the character, the scene, or the play its uniqueness.
What is important is that complex systems, richly cross-connected internally, have complex behaviours, and that these behaviours can be goal-seeking in complex patterns.
Simpler explanations are, other things being equal, generally better than more complex ones.
We know by now that if we make technology the predestined force in our lives, man will walk to the measure of its demands. We know how leveling that influence can be, how easy it is to computerize man and make him a servile thing in a vast industrial complex. . . . This means we must subject the machine - technology - to control and cease despoiling the earth and filling people with goodies merely to make money.
And to use something as elegant as a tree? Imagine this design assignment: Design something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, makes complex sugars and foods, changes colors with the seasons, and self-replicates. and then why don't we knock that down and write on it?
Genes are not simple triggers. No one is hardwired to commit murder or any other crime. Our actions are always the result of stupendously complex gene-environment interactions, and environment is likely to remain the more important influence by far.
The ecology of the valley was complex beyond our understanding, and it began to die as we went on manipulating it in ever more frantic ways. As it went dead and empty of the old life it became a place where no one wanted to live. In our right minds we want to seek out places that reek of complexity. Our drive to industrialize soured and undercut the intimacies that drew most people to country life in the first place.
It is our duty to preserve huge tracts of land in something resembling its native condition. The biological interactions necessary to insure the continuities of life are astonishingly complex, and cannot take place in islands of semiwilderness like the national parks.
An atmosphere of beliefs and conceptions has been formed by the labours and struggles of our forefathers, which enables us to breathe amid the various and complex circumstances of our life.

Zell followed Quistis' finger across the cobblestone square to the elderly man sitting upon the bench beside the boarded bridge. Upon their first visit to Winhill, Quistis had formed a lasting friendship with Jarvis Trent, being as she'd bested him in a game of Triple Triad. Apparently the only other person who'd ever beaten the old timer in a game of cards had been Laguna.
"Let's go see what he's up to," Quistis continued casually, though Zell noted that she was patting her skirt pocket where she kept her deck of cards.
"You go. I think I'll go see if I can find Matron."
Cool blue eyes assessed him. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it." Zell gave her a reassuring smile. "I'm fine Quisty, I promise."
Quistis studied him for a minute longer before relenting. "I'll be up soon."
Zell nodded and walked up to the house. The front door was slightly ajar. He entered. "Matron?"
"Zell?" A dark head poked out from the top of railing. "Hey!"
"So you guys made it." She scrambled down the stairs, beaming. "What's up? You guys made great time. Where's everyone else? I'm so glad I could be here too!"
"Me too." He returned her grin, feeling his spirits rise. "Quistis went to go visit that old Jarvis guy and Seifer's still in the car. We cast Sleep on his so he'll be waking up soon."
"How is he? Matron's been out of her mind with worry. I'm pretty sure she blames herself."
"He's really weak," Zell answered honestly. "He's changed a lot and he's pretty much swimming in guilt. It's kinda weird actually."
Ellone considered him with inky eyes. "I was surprised when Matron told me you were helping Seifer. I figured you guys hated each other."
Zell shrugged and shuffled his feet. "Well we became friends kinda...I guess. I mean he really is different. Not so much of an asshole you know? He apologized to me anyways."
Dark eyebrows rose. "He did? Holy, he really must have changed. Well I figured as much anyways." Ellone sighed. "Poor Seifer. He's been through a lot."
Yes, poor Seifer indeed. That was half the problem wasn't it? That Seifer was still suffering and there wasn't much he could do about it. "Is Matron around?" Zell asked, changing the subject. He'd rather not talk about Seifer, not if he didn't have to. It was much too confusing.
"I saw her heading for the back garden. Why don't you go see her and I'll find Laguna. I think he left some stuff back on the Rag."
Zell nodded and they left the house. Ellone headed into town while Zell circled around the house to the quaint back garden. A slight breeze winded, rustling through the tall trees and wildflowers. Zell caught a snatch of scant whispering. He skirted through the bushes and flowers, the faint murmuring growing a tiny bit in volume. He was unable to make out the words or even the speaker. He came out from around a thick-trunked, gnarly old tree and two familiar figures loomed into view.
Matron sat upon an ornamental stone garden bench, looking like a snippet from his memory, in a black dress with long, unbound hair. Her dark eyes, eyes of a Gypsy Queen Cid used to say, swam with a glistening liquid. Soothing though hoarse, her voice matched her hands. They trembled as they stroked through sunlit, fine hair. Before her on his knees, fair and once proud and was her Knight. Like the child he had once been long ago, Seifer's head was buried in her lap as muffled, raspy-stutter chokes rose.
A crushed Knight at the feet of his Lady.
It was something he never imagined he'd see.
Zell swallowed and his throat was heavy.
Suddenly it was that now nothing was important, not with Seifer giving in to months of stabbing sorrow. Seifer who had once been proud and arrogant, who had scoffed at those weaker than him, was now reduced to weeping in the lap of his Lady...of his mother. It was horrible to behold. But this scene was one that dug into Zell's mind. He wouldn't forget how Seifer looked at this moment.
If Zell hadn't been certain before, than this scene surely solidified it...he knew that what he felt for Seifer was beyond friendship, hate and sympathy. His feelings were beyond proper and even beyond the limits of himself. All the confusion he'd felt these past few whirlwinding days, they slowly sank away, like stepping out from soggy clothing. That was all baggage, weighing him down when really, things were simple.
Zell took an unsteady step backwards, still unnoticed. His heart was beating overly-noisy and it rang in his ears. Couldn't they hear it? It was so much more louder than Matron's quiet words and Seifer's hushed cries. His mind spoke up then, whispering that he was trespassing upon a moment that he wasn't meant to see. This was for Matron and for Seifer, not for him. If Seifer knew that he'd been seen, he would loathe himself.
It felt like a dream, blurring and surreal, as he stumbled from the garden. Had he truly seen what he had? Dreams were odd like that, where things happened that wouldn't ordinarily and scenes changed in seconds without thought. Where people proud crumpled so easily into the dust. The past, made up of jumbled memories, really could be a dream. It always came back didn't it? A mother is always a mother, just as a child, no matter how old, is always a child. Different names for the same things because in the end what mattered?
You healed me.
Seifer's words from that first meeting inside the Tomb. Only a few days ago and yet...a lifetime ago.
Zell wanted to comfort Seifer and the urge was sudden and so fierce he felt his mind reel. Why was it like this? From that one meeting to this. He couldn't really heal, not anything that was so broken. But he wanted to try didn't he? He did and that was the stupidest part.
"'S Matron's place," he muttered at his cheek absently. He leaned against their rented car and felt nameless things.
In the distance he could see Quistis with Jarvis and it appeared that she'd been unable to resist one card game. There were children playing and bunches of flowers everywhere. Hadn't someone said that the Winhill Flower Festival was this week? The town square seemed busier, the bustle of the marketplace from away, louder. It felt like he was watching the world through a pane of glass. It was always easier to watch, to observe, than to be part of. To think.
Zell didn't want to think anymore. His thoughts ran circles round him and he never had any solutions. So what was the point? He couldn't heal, he couldn't comfort and everything he did was a fluke.
That wasn't something he expected hear, Seifer apologizing. It had been startling and enough to do him in. Such a simple thing. It was still simple. It was sweet, like crying upon a mother's lap. Was that enough grounds for affection? Was it worth it?
Zell blinked hard. Quistis was walking up the driveway. How long had he been standing there, visiting Lah Lah Land?
"You look like you're a million miles away."
"Just thinking." His words came out a croak. He cleared his throat. "How was your game?"
She grinned sheepishly. "You saw that huh? I couldn't help it, you know how weak I am when it comes to cards. I lost a Catoblepas card and the Carbuncle card I won from Squall though."
Slowly, he could feel himself approaching Earth again. "Two cards? That's pretty shitty for you."
Quistis waved a hand, unconcerned. "Jarvis is pretty crafty but I'll win them back, that's not a problem. So have you found anyone?"
Zell hesitated. "I found Elle. She went to find Laguna."
Quistis saw his hesitation. "And?"
A crushed Knight at the feet of his Lady.
"Matron's in the back garden. Sef-Seifer's with her." He hurriedly glanced away, horrified that he'd had to force out Seifer's name.
"I see." Though Quistis wasn't one to miss a thing, she said nothing. "Let's give them some time alone then. We could stop by the hotel. I'll check in all our things and you can talk to Squall."
He smiled and it was real. "Thanks Quisty."
Fujin smirked as she pocketed the two Energy Crystals she'd received after defeating a Ruby Dragon. They were a bitch to fight, those shitty dragons but the loot was a good deal. All in all, fighting in the Tomb was alright, now that she'd ditched Selphie and Irvine. They'd made a fuss since this was only her third time inside the Tomb but she'd insisted. Now that Selphie and Irvine were a couple or something nauseatingly close to that, Fujin had no desire to be around them. She only liked one half of that pair anyways. It was stupid, the way they kept glancing at each other and holding hands and the sickening way they worried about each other after a battle...
Gag me with a spoon, to quote Dolon Schlickter from the Balamb Bait Shop.
Being in a relationship sucked Wendigo ass. Big time. Fujin knew since she had a boyfriend once. The guy had been a first class assclown. And then there was Seifer who was too dumb to take a clue and notice her. Bah. To hell with that all shit. She didn't need some loser by her side to define her personality. Boys were retarded. And on that note, so were girls. People in general were thick as shit. The only one who knew anything about anything was herself. She was cool because afterall, if you weren't pleased with yourself then no one else would be. She could handle it, being alone. She preferred it actually. She was a SeeD now, she had cash and that was all that really mattered.
Fujin consulted once more with the crumpled map of the Tomb Selphie had given her. Ahead of her lay the heart of the Tomb, where Seifer had stayed. Fujin headed forward cautiously but the path before her was free from monsters. When she and Selphie had come here this morning to gather up the remainder of Seifer's things, Fujin had noticed that the crumbling, stone walls were covered in the ancient Galbadian script of centuries ago. Unknown to everyone except Xu, who also shared her love of linguistics and etymology, Fujin had studied a lot of ancient languages and scripts and knew enough to read. She was curious as to what had been carved upon the Tomb's walls.
Slithering near the Unknown King's casket was a lone Blobra. Two hits took care of the slimy, blue creature and then Fujin was able to set about her task. It took her half an hour to get through just one side of the wall and by then she had enough of an idea to know that the complete picture was far from pretty.
After getting settled into their hotel room, Quistis patted Zell's shoulder reassuringly. "I'm going back to the house," she told him. "When you finish with Squall, come over and we'll talk to Ellone and Laguna."
Zell nodded and Quistis left. Using the room's TCL, Zell opened up a link to Balamb and waited for Squall to answer. He mentally went over what he was going to say and after five rings, Squall's arid voice came through the line.
"Hey Squall! Man, what's up?"
Zell rolled his eyes. A hundred years with Rinoa could pass and still Squall wouldn't change. "Yeah okay, don't sound too excited there."
Squall cleared his throat, speaking as though he had to force the words out. "Zell. How are you? Why are you in Winhill?"
He sat down on his bed. "Quistis and I are here. Don't worry, Fujin, Selphie and Irvine are still in Deling working on the situation in the Tomb."
"You guys met up with Fujin and Quistis?"
"Selphie bumped into Fujin on the bus and then Quistis came to visit us so we decided to, you know, hang out for a bit."
There was a silence. "Laguna, Edea and Ellone are in Winhill now. Do you know anything about that?"
Zell hesitated. "That's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about." He fidgeted and said hastily, "So erm...how's Rinoa? How's the Garden?"
Squall allowed him to evade the subject. "Everything's fine Zell. You guys are all okay, right?"
Zell was impressed. Squall's concern was nice to hear. "We're all doin' alright but there's a...you know, situation I guess, that I need to talk to you about."
"Alright." Squall's voice was impassive, devoid of even the faintest curiosity.
Zell paused for a moment to gather his thoughts and then started to talk. He began with seeing Seifer from the restaurant window that first evening and followed through with everything that happened since. He narrated himself hoarse, making a point to defend Seifer and speak of how much the ex-Knight had changed. The only thing he omitted were his developing feelings but that wasn't any of Squall's business.
Squall didn't interrupt him at all and let him speak as he would. If nothing else, Squall was an excellent listener.
When Zell finished speaking, there was another silence, this one rather long. Jumping to his feet, Zell began to pace as Squall assimilated everything he'd told him.
"I never imagined you'd take Seifer's side," Squall finally remarked.
Zell's lips curved wryly. "Yeah you and me both."
"And Quistis backs you fully?"
"The problem of Ultimecia needs take priority over all else and I commend the way you've taken action. Naturally the Garden fully supports your efforts." Squall paused. "However, I hesitate to accept your conviction upon Seifer's supposed personality change. I don't trust or believe in Seifer and I feel that I'm more than justified. Do you agree with me?"
"Well yeah," Zell replied reluctantly. "But if you saw the-"
"But I haven't," Squall overrode. "And I'm warning you Zell, no matter how he acts or what he does, do not forget his past actions and what he's capable of. I have little faith in his complacency and I'm not overlooking the fact that he is possessed. Possessions, especially ones involving such a powerful entity, have been known to induce the host into odd behavior completely unfamiliar to their natural way of being. I don't think I need to remind you of all the documented cases of possessions we studied in Cadet Enchanted History?"
"No but Squall I think-"
"It's not that I don't trust your judgment," Squall continued, as though he hadn't spoken. "It's Seifer I don't trust. And while I'm sure some part of him has changed, I'm not above accepting the possibility that he may revert to his old ways."
"That crossed my mind," Zell confessed. "And both of us hadda put up with the most of Seifer's shit but Squall he really is a lot different. Now he's all hopeless and guilty, he looks like shit too. I used to hate the hell outta him and now I don't know. I never thought I could feel something other than hate for him. Ultimecia is tearing apart his mind. Literally."
"I don't doubt that," Squall conceded. "All I'm saying is to exercise extreme caution and don't forget who you're dealing with. If Seifer does anything questionable, no matter what the circumstance, I will personally hold you responsible Zell. Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
Zell suppressed a sigh. "Perfectly."
"I trust both you and Quistis implicitly but Seifer's actions have not diminished in my mind. He came under Ultimecia's control once before and it could very well happen again, no matter how he's changed. I ask that you to act with precision and leave the bulk of the exorcism to Matron. I won't have either you or Quistis in danger. Understand?"
"I understand," he said. "I'll be careful Squall but I'm not gonna hesitate to help Seifer if he needs it. Everyone deserves a second chance and that includes Seifer."
Surprise tinged Squall's voice. "I see. Well then I really have nothing more to say. You're more than capable of dealing with the situation at hand and should you need assistance, you know where to find it but with Matron and-" Here he coughed. "Laguna on hand I doubt if you'll need our help."
"We'll be fine," Zell reassured. "You're not upset that I kept you in the dark for so long are you? Me n' Selphie weren't sure how you'd take the news."
"Personal feelings have nothing to do with Ultimecia's eradication," Squall informed him testily. "As long as you took the time to verify facts and strategize thoroughly then I have no reason to complain."
Zell rolled his eyes. "That's my job."
"It is. Anyway, I need to go but I'll be in touch soon. I want to speak to Quistis later on."
"Yeah okay." He flopped down onto his bed. "Thanks for understanding Squall."
"Just be careful."
The walls of her confinement were made of pinkened membrane. It shifted and rot before her, pulsating in thick, juicy swallows. The juice that bled from the membrane was red and it puddled at her feet in swelling twists. Thoughts and memories solidified thrust into the pale flesh with an obscenity that was sexual. Thin ribbons of blue and plum patterned the pulp and seemed always ready to slide forth and entwine her. She loathed the squishing tissue with a ferocity that was new and bold to her person.
She was encompassed thoroughly and that, beyond the anatomical revulsion, was what angered her the most. Unable to leave, unable to even exist, she was held in the decaying mind of an equally decaying child like a common prisoner. She, Sorceress of Time and Space, Commander of all that is Ago, Forthwith, and Beyond, she Ultimecia, was reduced to nothing more than a parasite in the mind of a drained, ineffectual failure.
It was degrading.
A Queen she had been, a ruler with the world at her beck and now she was reduced to cowering in a brainy cell. From far beyond, she could sense her creations that the boy had junctioned onto himself. Her Eight Guardians were now serving this worthless Knight. The humiliation of it all was past bearing and when she would break free, her rage would destroy anew. The child, those vile SeeDs, Edea, she would abolish them all. She only needed to strengthen, to bid her time carefully and once she rose again, it would be terrible to behold. She would make certain of it.
Spindly fingers clenched and with searing patience, Ultimecia quelled her wrath. It had no place here. If this boy would not to behest onto her, so be it. He had failed once before. She needed him not, she only ever needed herself. It would not come to pass, failure twice. She was better than that. This captivity, no better than a junctioned GF really, was not permanent. Now she was stronger and still she could grow. The boy was slowly depleting and by the time Edea prepared her affairs, there would be nothing left of the boy...save for her.

We took the day off for my flatmate Cate’s birthday (it was last March 7, a Thursday). After we had buffet lunch at Starz Restaurant, we headed to S.E.A. Aquarium which currently boasts as being the world’s largest aquarium.
The S.E.A. Aquarium is actually a part of MEMA (Maritime Experiential Museum and Aquarium). Before you get to the aquarium, you’ll see the museum part first. It’s an interesting museum, not the boring kind, and you are allowed to take pictures. At certain stations they also take your picture for you and sell it to you. They sold it a promotional price of S$10, so Cate bought it, even though we also had another group picture with the same camel on my camera.
I blogged about the museum part in detail before, at this link.
The S.E.A. Aquarium is located a floor below the museum portion.
|At the entrance|
Right after the entrance, this was the scene that greeted us.
|Under the sea|
There was a portion with a glass floor and you could see the sandy bottom, sort of like a glass bottom boat.
But if that’s not close enough for you, you can actually hold a starfish with your bare hands.
Inside there were lots more glass tanks.
|This was what convinced me of their largest aquarium claim|
I was so fascinated by this giant glass tank, most especially with a giant stingray because a school of fish kept following him around wherever he went, like he was their school bus or something. You can see them below him in the picture below. Why is that, I wonder?
|Stingray school bus|
This reminded me of the movie Finding Nemo. Wasn’t there a fish who acted as a school bus there? No wait, he wasn’t a school bus, but their teacher. Look:
|Stingray school teacher|
At that point I decided that I wanted to find Nemo in the aquariums as well. So I went about searching for him in the aquariums.
I found Dory.
But nope, no Nemo. I am so sorry, Marlin. 🙁
Speaking of which, joke time!
|If Liam Neeson had voiced Nemo’s dad,
Finding Nemo would have been a very different story.
And here’s another joke we made when we saw them scrubbing the corals clean while a janitor fish looked on.
|Janitor fish: Hey man, are you trying to steal my job?|
Aside from creatures in aquariums, the place also had some pose-worthy backgrounds like these:
|The beach behind me looks real but it’s not|
My favorite pictorial subjects, though, were the jellyfishes. I found them to be strangely mesmerizing.
I will end this post with this picture taken in the souvenir section of MEMA:
|True story! 😉|
Tickets are available for S$29 each at this website. (We got ours for free, though. Yey!)


UM Global Motorcycles, one of the latest motorcycle companies in the fast expanding Indian two-wheeler industry, plans to make a rather strong statement at the fast-approaching Auto Expo 2018. The American automaker is planning to come up with a range of new motorcycles that will include a scrambler and a cafe racer. Both of these upcoming UM motorcycles are based on the Renegade platform. Not just this, the company might also come up with the UM Renegade electric bike, which was showcased at the 2017 EICMA last year. Details on the launch are unavailable at the moment, but the company will likely use the Expo to gauge the interest that the new bike will generate among the show-goers.
The UM Renegade Electric bike is powered by a 30 kW electric motor that outputs a maximum power of roughly 50 bhp. This electric motor is sourced from Italian company Tacita Electric Motorcycles. With the Government of India planning to support the launch and the usage of electric vehicles in a huge way, launching this electric motorcycle in India could prove to be really beneficial to the bike maker.

After the slow and steady hit single "I Love You Like A Love Song", but sadly (as of yet) "Hit The Lights" hasn't met the same love. So they have gone ahead and chosen the fourth single and it's "My Dilemma." That song has been one of my favez since the album came out so... I am ready!
"My Dilemma" is different from the other songs in the sense it's a bit slower and it's not as repetitive, also it's about a bad boy, unlike the previous singles. I love the faux-rock feel it has while still being Top 40. Like I said, I've been in love with this song so I'm happy. I also think this is one of the few songs she's able to pull off completely live.
"You eyes have told a thousand lies but I believe them when they look in mine" is probably my favorite lyric from the song. It's so good!
This is also great news because Hollywood Records artists never get second singles (which she got), third singles are unheard of (which she got) and fourth singles have never even occurred yet, can your flop?
There's no YouTube clip that has the actual audio, sorry, y'all are gonna have to go buy it on iTunes!

Bellport-based Perfumania Holdings Inc. said Thursday its revenue at stores open at least a year rose 10.7 percent in November, bouncing back from a 10.4 percent decrease in the same month a year earlier.
Revenue at stores open at least a year are considered a key measurement of retailer health because they exclude results from stores that opened or closed within the past year.
The company said its net revenue grew 9 percent to $25.7 million over the four weeks ended Nov. 26 even though it closed more than 20 stores. The specialty fragrance retailer ran 347 stores in the latest period, down from 370 a year ago.
Shares of Perfumania Holdings rose 8 cents to $19.51 in afternoon trading.

But her success has been hard-won and has left her with debilitating paranoia. When a string of young co-eds starts to show up dead with suspicious Biblical verses left on their bodies—the same verses that the man she suspects kidnapped and murdered her sister twenty years ago had sent to her—she begins to question if the killer is trying to send her a message.
It is not until evil strikes Gabriella's own family that her worst fears are confirmed. As the clock begins to tick, every passing hour means the difference between life and death to those Gabriella loves...

PALO ALTO >> Whether to move a flight path from one side of Santa Cruz County to the other was the center of debate at Thursday’s public meeting at Palo Alto City Hall.
For more than four hours, FAA representatives and the Select Committee on South Bay Arrivals, a group of appointed politicians, heard comments from about 130 residents of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
Most were there to either support or condemn DAVYJ, a proposed flight path over Santa Cruz’s Westside and the ridge between the San Lorenzo Valley and Highway 17. Planes flew there for decades until March 2015, when the FAA created SERFR, a flight path crossing Capitola, Soquel and Happy Valley.
More than 3 million noise complaints have been lodged since then, due to a change in how planes descend, which requires braking to stay inside Class B airspace, the restricted airspace surrounding San Francisco International airport. The FAA has begun working to change Class B airspace, which will take effect in 2018, and allow a quieter, gliding descent.
By its last meeting Nov. 17, the committee will vote on each of 22 possible solutions listed in last week’s draft report and make a final recommendation to the FAA.
Daniel Peduano, a resident of the Santa Cruz Mountains, was one of dozens who spoke in support of DAVYJ. He said the noise from SERFR has “smashed” his way of life, and was disappointed that DAVYJ was mentioned only briefly in the draft report.
“The whole rest of the report is this huge laundry list of other issues,” Peduano said, urging the committee to focus on fixing SERFR.
“Three million comments say it’s broken,” Peduano said.
Santa Cruz County resident Ruth Segal said the committee was formed “to fix the SERFR mistake” and not to solve pre-existing noise problems in other areas. Her emotional plea drew applause from the audience, which was quieted by Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian, the committee’s chairman.
“I’ve been watching the arc of emotional intensity of this conversation and as we get closer and closer to the 17th and as we get nearer and nearer to making our decision, it’s entirely understandable that people are getting anxious,” Simitian said.
He said it’s clear from emails he’s received that communities are pitting against each other, and people are name-calling. The committee needs to unite in its recommendation to ensure success, he said.
“Let’s all hang together or surely we will all hang separately. And surely we don’t want to do that,” Simitian said.
Jan King was one of several San Lorenzo Valley residents who spoke against DAVYJ. Others from the San Lorenzo Valley told the committee that they only heard recently about the proposed change.“Our valley has not been fully engaged in meaningful discussions to solve the problem,” King said. “Some concerns I have are, why when implementing NextGen (the suite of flight path changes), did the FAA feasibility studies determine that SERFR was the optimal path and why can those studies now be disregarded?”
By the committee’s next meeting Nov. 3, the FAA is expected to release a report comparing the noise levels between SERFR and DAVYJ.
Select Committee on South Bay Arrivals
What: Last two meetings of political committee to address airplane noise over Santa Cruz County and the Bay Area. A vote is scheduled Nov. 17.
When: 2-6 p.m. Nov. 3 and 1-4 p.m. Nov. 17
Where: Palo Alto City Hall, 250 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto.

Well, at least we can see sense sometimes. Not complete sense, I have to say, but it’s a start. Nobody very nearly beat Chris Weitz to the top spot for the direction of these movies. So close. People seem to have this misguided idea that these films are a cunning plan, and while that is certainly true, to some extent (the extent of the New Line boardroom), everybody, including New Line, seem to be forgetting something. In order for these films to work- at the very least, in order for these films to rake in the cash that New Line is making them for, a good director is everything. The writer is useful, to some extent, but lest we forget Springtime for Hitler. The script can be abysmal, atrocious, any number of adjectives, but without a good director, the film is nothing.
Directors are there to ensure the film matches the subject material. They give the feeling to the scene, essentially, as without the director keeping his interpretation above all others, there would be thousands- the sound recordist would have his, the cameramen would have theirs, lighting, set building, CGI department- hell, even the actors. So it’s important that one person keeps all this under control. And it’s even more important that that one man has the right interpretation. Nobody wants to see a flop at the box office. Not even me- if a film is a flop, then I am proven right and the film world really is going down the pan. Especially if the film is as important as this. £80 million is not a small amount of money. And so New Line has to be much more careful than it is being. In the beginning, Chris Weitz was the original director. Then, suddenly, he wasn’t, due to “challenges”. And now he is again? Are we sure we want someone as changeable to direct, NLC? A man who originally pulled out because he felt CGI in this day and age was not up to the task is the director again, and you’re letting him loose with £80 million?
That doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.

Pallets of compressed “railroad tie” shaped blocks
Color Fusion™ STORMY NIGHT
Engineered Strand Woven Bamboo
The driving force behind the EcoFusion products is the idea of creating a beautiful floor that is more durable and environmentally friendly than any hardwood or bamboo product in the world. Perhaps the most important aspect in the manufacturing process is the fact that EcoFusion controls the raw material from harvest to final production. Although others may also make this claim, EcoFusion is truly THE ONLY 100% vertically integrated bamboo product imported into North America. This allows our ISO 9000 Certified facility to control the quality from start to finish without relying on raw materials from the open market.
Our unique manufacturing process is similar for both strand woven bamboo and strand woven hardwood. The bamboo starts with carefully harvested stalks that are shredded into “strands”. These strands are dried and coated with a unique adhesive compound that is free from any added urea-formaldehyde or other harmful VOC’s. The coated strands are then layered into a mold and compressed into long “railroad tie” shaped blocks without the use of heat. These long, dense blocks are then carefully kiln dried in a kiln fueled by the waste material gathered by cutting the original bamboo. The cured block goes through several additional “drying” and conditioning steps prior to being milled into flooring planks to ensure the product is stable in climates throughout North America.
In order to create the Color Fusion™ dye-infused strand woven bamboo, the bamboo strands are first dyed with a unique “coloring” process using all natural plant-based pigments. In order to ensure that there are no pigments that escape due to water runoff, the factory developed a process to re-use all the colored pigment left over from each individual production run thus ensuring zero waste. This patented process ensures the environment surrounding the factory is unharmed and the resources of the factory are conserved.
The EcoFusion strandwood Eucalyptus is also made in a similar fashion, though the source of the raw material is different. The wood used to make this unique flooring come from well managed Euclyptus plantations that supply plywood mills. We use new and post industrial fall-off to press our strandwood logs. The scraps are sorted and carefully treated to make them chemically inert. The wood strands are then coated in a similar adhesive compound that is free from added urea-formaldehyde and other harmful VOC’s.
Overall, the strand woven process allows ECOfusion to provide products that take nothing away from the earth. And since bamboo is 100% renewable and cut by hand, no damage is done to any ecosystem, no forests are harmed and no land is destroyed. 100% of all raw materials are utilized in the manufacturing process creating a truly “green” manufacturing environment.
