With another season lost to terrible basketball, Carmelo Anthony has now missed the playoffs in three straights years, after making it into the playoffs for his first 10 NBA seasons. While the Knicks are drowning in mediocrity, for some reason unknown to almost everyone, Melo wants to stay with New York for the long haul.
According to multiple reports, Anthony is unwilling to waive his no-trade clause this summer to be traded to a legitimate contender.
However, reports surfaced Thursday morning (ESPN Lies) that the Boston Celtics expressed interest in the All-Star forward. While Melo has confirmed his commitment to the Knicks organization and has not done anything to waver that trust, one has to wonder if his mentality will change if the Knicks fail to upgrade their roster this summer.
For the Celtics, this is a bit of a bewildering trade, if it were to ever happen. For Anthony to be effective, he needs to have the ball in his hands for far too long. If you have watched the Celtics at all this season, you will be able to tell almost instantaneously that Melo does not really fit this brand of basketball. Boston loves to get out and run in transition (Melo hates that), play gritty defense (Melo hates that), and give 110% effort every single night (Melo sure as hell does not do that).
If the Celtics land Melo without having to give up half of their roster, however, this should be something that they consider. With Melo on their roster, big time free agents would almost certainly follow. With Isaiah Thomas coming off the bench, a superstar down low (Blake Griffin, Demarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis-type of guy), and Carmelo Anthony at the small forward position, I'm not sure there is a team that the Celtics could not beat in the Eastern Conference.
Just sayin'....

We are very happy to be able to share FFGI's stories of change
The mission of the Fair Finance Guide International (FFGI) – to influence finance into driving sustainable practices throughout the rest of the economy – is becoming more relevant on a global scale. Over the last few years, there has been a gradual paradigm shift, as financial institutions realize the opportunity that exists in investing in development, conservation and natural capital. Likewise, bank and insurance group clients as well as beneficiaries of public pension funds are increasingly demanding investments in this realm; ultimately indicating that people want to see their money being invested in goods and services that are both socially and environmentally beneficial.
Nevertheless, sustainable and responsible finance as the norm is still a long way from being realized and has yet to meet the global demand for investment to eradicate inequality and preserve the planet's critical ecosystems. Hence, the efforts of FFGI to pressure financial institutions into contributing to this global agenda have never been so important.
In order to illustrate how the work of the FFGI contributes to current pressing issues surrounding human rights, poverty, inequality and climate change – to name a few – we worked on a series of stories of change which highlight the impact of the current nine national Fair Finance Guides (FFGs) and connect them to the bigger picture. The 9 stories below describe how the coalitions' various activities – greatly supported by their partners – have influenced financial institutions and the companies in which they invest, in turn generating impact on the ground.
The stories of change in this document all follow the same path – starting with defining the problem in question.
When the problem has been identified, the influencing activities of the relevant FFG(s) and its/their partners are described. In relation to the Theory of Change framework, these activities are the inputs of each national coalition, which will hopefully lead to a certain change in the activities or attitudes of the financial institution(s) in question.
After this, the changes in financial institutions or other actors influenced are stated and correlated with the influencing activities. Next, any actual changes in the companies invested in are mentioned as, ideally, the change in a financial institution will lead to a corresponding shift in the policies or actions of the companies that they finance.
Finally, having described the inputs and the relevant outcomes, the impact that these outcomes have had in the country concerned are described.
The Stories of Change contain the following 9 stories:

BRIDGETON, Mo. (CBS.MW) – Hussmann International shares doubled percent Friday after Ingersoll-Rand agreed to buy the company for $1.83 billion in cash and debt.
Hussmann (HSM) shares jumped 15 1/8 to 28 ½ on volume of 7.3 million shares in recent trading. The company makes merchandising and refrigeration systems, and offers products including beverage coolers and air handlers.
Ingersoll-Rand will pay $29 a share for each of Hussmann's 50.6 million shares. In addition the company will assume about $275 million in Hussmann debt.
New Jersey based Ingersoll-Rand (IR) makes construction and industrial machinery. Ingersoll shares fell 7/16 to 45 7/16 on the news.
Ingersoll-Rand expects the acquisition to add 2 to 5 cents a share to earnings for fiscal year 2000 and 15 to 20 cents in year 2001.
For the year 2000, the consensus estimate of analysts is $3.95 a share for Ingersoll-Rand. For 2001 the consensus estimate is $4.44 a share.
" The immediately accretive nature of this transaction reinforces our forecast of achieving diluted earnings per share of around $4.00 for 2000," said Herbert L. Henkel, Ingersoll-Rand's chief executive officer in a statement.

If you are being chased by zombies it is handy to know how far away they are, and therefore how much time you have before they reach you. It can mean knowing when to leisurely sip your latte or gulp it down.
So get practicing judging distance.
Like an artist you can use your thumb to gauge scale and distance. Basically a zombie will look smaller the further in the distance it is. By comparing the zombie against you thumb held out at arms length, you can learn to estimate how far away the zombie by comparing it's size against your thumb.
Not sure exactly how it work, the diagram I found on the internet was in Russian.
Anyway the average Australian male is 175.6 cm tall while the average Australian woman is 161.8 cm tall. Hope that helps. Probably not.

They came alone. They came in pairs. They came in small groups. And they came by the carload. College students. Local celebrities. Artists. Professional athletes. Businessmen, a few of them shady. Suited up and dressed down.
All told, the choicest selection of black men in the city strutted by me one by one. But for one night it really didn't matter what these guys did for a living, because they were bonded by a common goal--to see some skin.
Touted by the sponsoring Mpact Promotions as the "First Annual, First-Ever Citywide Bachelor Party," the event was a fund-raiser for Unity Shelter, a haven for homeless young men ages 16 to 21. The idea was to bring professional black men together in order to save their younger brothers, and the organizers figured that a men-only party would cause a stir and make a bundle. The site was a Harvey nightclub called Club Ultimate, and the main event was a strip show.
Despite the name, proof of bachelorhood wasn't required. I noticed one guy with a tan line around the fourth finger on his left hand. Wedding band gone, he was ready to kick it. I felt as though I had slipped into the boys' locker room, where towel snapping and seedy tales of conquest and fantasy were ritual. The men laughed among themselves and, aware of my presence, talked low about the show they hoped to see.
"I want to see plen-tee of ass!" one guy said to his neighbor. He took a long swig of beer and slapped his partner on the back. "Plen-tee of ass!" he repeated.
I decided to push to the back of my mind for the evening my strong belief that performers with names like "Climax," "Hot Thang," and "Wet Dream" were setting women back 20 years. I tried to have an open mind and watch these brothers enjoy themselves. And it looked like they planned to--many clenched dollar bills tightly and sat front and center.
Dasha Jones, president of Mpact and mistress of ceremonies, sashayed around the club like a madam in a brothel, her eyes saying you can look, but don't you dare touch. Men looked at her as she flitted through the tables, restraining themselves from touching the small of her bronzed, muscular exposed back. She just smiled. "You enjoying yourself, sweetheart?" she asked one guy who appeared to be hypnotized by her deep decolletage.
"Oh, oh, yeah," he finally said, reluctantly tearing his eyes away from the view. "Everything's cool."
In addition to Dasha, there was a bevy of Lycra-laden ladies waiting tables. When one of them swished by a table, all heads turned.
"Check out the ass on that one!" a guy in a suit exclaimed.
"Man, I wouldn't mind strapping that up and taking it home!" said another.
And the strip show hadn't even begun yet.
I think only a woman could pull off a party like this. If this event had been male-produced, it would have been wham, bam, T and A all over the stage, thank you, everybody have a good night. But this bachelor party offered the audience more than just skin and sin: as foreplay it provided singers, a dance troupe, a rap group, and more.
"Man, she could talk to me all night long," said one guy about the poet spurting lines by Nikki Giovanni and showing off every curve in a tight black leather skirt.
"Damn, baby, why you got to be married?" another yelled at the comedian in the slinky, high-cut skirt and sculpted top.
As an R & B singer blazed across the stage in a lethal red dress, all one guy could say was, "I want that for the road."
Between acts was a lingerie show, a quintet of saucy sisters making their way through the haze of leering men and posing. And flashing. And teasing. My idea of sexy is not a piece of dental floss running through my crack. But these guys seemed to love it.
"I'm tired of being a bachelor," said one, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"I love black women, yes!" exclaimed another, almost toppling over the railing that separated the wolves from the sheep.
They crammed in every corner, perched on every chair, and flooded the aisles to get a glimpse of some action. Usually when guys bond, the talk eventually turns to work, sports, or cars. But not with these brothers. Instead of "Man, did you hear that new Ice Cube cut?" it was "I just want to bite those ankles." Not "How much did you lose on that Bulls/Knicks game?" but "I bet she could blow the roof off a house." And in place of "I'm up for a promotion in the legal department" it was "If I could only be the soap and towel she uses in the morning."
And the strip show hadn't even begun yet.
When it finally did start, I realized I hadn't really been prepared. Sure, I was ready for the naked bodies and the erotic dancing. But I didn't expect the strippers to bring equipment.
By equipment I mean all sorts of freaky gadgets--from the edible to the painful looking. Whipped cream proved to be a popular accessory. The guys were standing in line after one stripper sprayed whipped cream between her thighs and "forced" a guy to lick it all up.
I thought I'd seen it all, heard it all, and tried to do it all, but I found myself looking sideways in amazement as Coco, a notorious local dancer, nabbed a victim in a headlock between her thighs without missing a beat of the pulsating, heated disco music.
"Is that humanly possible?" I asked the man next to me, who also had his head tilted sideways.
"I didn't think so until now," he replied.
One lucky guy was stripped down and given a sexy bubble bath. Another guy got a taste of a human fruit basket as a stripper landed in his lap dressed only in strategically placed strawberries, bananas, and grapes. And a table of onlookers got their own show as another stripper leapt up onto their table to dance.
I walked around again to watch the reactions of the men in the club. So strong, so macho, so chicken! Some ran when the strippers came after them to drag them onstage. Some stayed and went bravely before their peers to tangle with the wild women. Some looked as delighted as a kid in an amusement park.
Many of the guys who had been making all of the macho wisecracks were quiet now. Well, not exactly quiet. They backed up a little and appeared to hold their breath, and hoped they wouldn't get pulled into the fray. Sometimes a stripper went out of her way to grab one of them--as if to prove that he couldn't handle her. Just watching this made me smile. It gave my ego an incredible boost, knowing that men can be so easily weakened. The power, oh, the sheer power of woman.
And the strip show hadn't even ended yet.

Justice Antonin Scalia's conservative legacy
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died of a heart attack this weekend. But, before his body made it back to his home in Virginia, Washington was already well on its way into debate over what the death of the conservative justice means for the political process.
Justice Scalia, a social and fiscal conservative, was a Reagan appointee who joined the Supreme Court in 1986, and his influence has been resonant throughout the past three decades. What will Scalia's death mean for the highest court in the country? How will the appointment (or blocking) of a new justice impact the election?
Marketplace's Kimberly Adams joins Molly Wood from Washington, D.C. to take a deeper look at Scalia's legacy and the future of the Supreme Court.

Inform the development of the Practice Supervisor Development Programme
Research in Practice (RiP) is inviting professionals within the children and families social work sector to participate in a survey to inform the Practice Supervisor Development Programme.
The Practice Supervisor Development Programme (PSDP) is a Department for Education funded initiative. It is intended to enable Practice Supervisors to develop the knowledge, skills, personal resilience and confidence to effectively undertake their role of supervising, supporting and developing excellent frontline practice with children and families. The course is intended to reach approximately 700 newly appointed Practice Supervisors.
In order to ensure that the PSDP responds to the sector's needs and builds on existing activity, we are asking Principal Social Workers (PSWs), practitioners, supervisors, senior managers and workforce development leads across the children and families social work sector to complete a survey.
We want to ensure that learning needs, barriers and enablers to accessing Continuous Professional Development (CPD), and the reach, strengths, impact and cost-effectiveness of existing CPD is fully understood. Survey responses will inform the development of the PSDP and ensure it is grounded in the sector's experiences. The survey is an important part of the scoping phase, alongside focus groups, literature and policy reviews.
We recognise that professionals are very busy and we hope that you are as passionate as us about ensuring your voices are heard. Survey respondents can be entered into a prize draw to receive dinner and bed and breakfast for two at Dartington Hall.
As part of the scoping phase a second survey will soon be issued, specifically for those who provide CPD for practice supervisors, such as Higher Education Institutions, Teaching Partnerships and training organisations.
The PSDP is led by RiP, together with a consortium of partners including: The Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, University of Sussex and Goldsmiths, University of London.
To stay informed as the PSDP develops, please email email@example.com with the subject header 'keep in touch'.
Please note. All survey responses will be treated confidentially.

Employee engagement has come to the forefront of HR discussions as a key factor in reducing turnover, maximizing productivity, and increasing company prosperity. Unfortunately, engagement is difficult to measure as it means different things to different people. While there will never be one perfect way to assess or address employee engagement, HRIS can help you figure out what works best for evaluating employee engagement within your company.
Creating Meaningful Assessments
Many HRIS solutions provide a template for employee engagement surveys, but allow customization. Having this guideline can help to inspire ideas about which questions will provide insights into how employees directly relate and connect to the company's missions and how invested they are in their own responsibilities and contributions. HRIS makes it easy to tailor surveys for greater effectiveness.

Issuing Engagement Surveys
Engagement surveys can generally be issued to all employees with just a few clicks. Employees can then access the surveys using self service portals through their own devices or on company equipment. This increases flexibility, as employees can fill out the survey at their convenience or at designated times as it works best with company structure and scheduling.
Eliciting Frequent Feedback
Since surveys are fast and easy to administer, HRIS can help employers to elicit more frequent feedback regarding engagement. Employees' responses may vary based on current events, so survey results have a short shelf life and must be refreshed regularly. Annual and biannual surveys just don't keep employers as up to date as is necessary.
Of course, employees will get burned out if they have to regularly answer a huge number of questions. Keep the survey very short and to the point, using only a few questions that have shown to best reveal employee engagement. Alternatively, administer the survey in a few sessions and compile the results.
Analyzing and Reporting Results
HRIS reporting features compile and report survey results so that conclusions can be drawn and employers can take action to improve areas where engagement is lacking. Engagement is generally broken down into components such as development, interpersonal connection, recognition, and rewards. If results show that many employees feel poorly about development opportunities within the company, for example, steps can be taken to improve the training programs.
Sharing Results and Action Plans with Employees
When results have been extracted and interpreted based on employee surveys, it can be helpful to share those results with employees. Seeing the same concerns and feelings echoed across the organization can boost employees' sense of community and make them feel validated.
Addressing the results and rolling out an action plan to improve employee engagement lets employees know that their feedback is valued. HRIS can help to communicate results and plans through messaging features or social feeds.
HRIS isn't a quick fix for employee engagement and administering surveys isn't a surefire way to evaluate engagement. However, with continuous effort HRIS solutions can help employers take a proactive approach to assessing and improving engagement.
If your current HRIS doesn't provide the functionality that you need to better engage your employees, we can help. Call 866-629-1227 and we'll work with you to determine which HRIS solution best meets your needs.

We thought we would use this post to focus on a relatively common plant pathogen - Kretzschmaria deusta or Brittle Cinder fungus, formerly known as Ustulina deusta.
This fungus has the potential to severely weaken trees by causing deep seated decay within the lower stem and roots.
It can be a difficult fungus to detect due to the size and location of the fruiting bodies. These tend to develop between the root buttresses at ground level forming initially as small, grey discs with a distinct white margin before maturing into black, tarmac like clumps.
We were recently commissioned to dismantle and remove a large 90 year old Lime on the outskirts of Newbury in Berkshire. The tree had been condemned by the local authority Tree Officer on the grounds of structural instability following the discovery of Kretzschmaria deusta around the base.
Although on the face of it the tree appeared healthy from the outside, the cross section of wood through the remaining stump told a different story; 90% of the wood was structurally unsound and significantly decayed.
To summarise:
The fungus forms grey then black tarmac like clumps, is easily overlooked or hidden by undergrowth and causes extensive decay in the stem base with little visual indication of the disease in tree vitality.

Wine Notes from My Backyard: Napa Valley's Maroon 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon
Ruby color. Blackberries. Fruity tang, subtle spice, soft lingering finish. I'm enjoying this glass of cabernet outside on my patio just before sundown, as I'm observing an industrious squirrel rustling high up on a branch in my orange tree, knocking down one orange after the other. This is California in January. My lawn is covered with half eaten oranges, courtesy of local squirrels.
This wine, a Napa Valley 2012 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon by Maroon Wines, would pair well with my lentil and quinoa "meatballs" and creamy polenta, or the vegan Fettuccine Alfredo recipe I made recently for my both of my daughters and my son for our weekday dinner. There's this blanket idea that rich full-bodied reds like Cabernet pair best with meat-and-potato dishes, however, grilled portobello mushrooms served with cauliflower mashed potatoes would work too.
It's not often that I enjoy a luscious glass of wine like this Cabernet, so I allowed myself to savor a glass or two, slowly, without rushing through it, just because I need a glass of wine at the end of the day, and all of the other #momlife excuses my weary and exhausted working mommy mind tends to give. This is not an everyday sort of casual wine to treat like Two Buck Chuck, in other words. This is the bath bomb to pamper yourself kind of wine, the special occasion swirl in the glass wine, the romantic dinner at home wine, the toes in the sand on the beach with your sweetie kind of wine.
Please note, dear wine lovers, I did my best to share this wine with my own sweetheart during the twilight hours in my lovely backyard. I made offers to my friends: come over and do a wine tasting with me! The real reason why I enjoyed it alone, sadly, as it really must be shared, is because my sweetie was in bed with some kind of rotten cold/flu thing, crumpled tissues surrounding him in a blanket mound of sniffling achy suffering awfulness. I did try to suggest he taste just one glass with me (hoping he did not take any cold medicine, because you know, guys). Later, as the twinkle lights sparkled on my orange tree, and the squirrel went back to its home with a belly full of oranges, I finished the one glass and started to pour the second. My sweetie then emerged from the bedroom to the patio and decided to sip on one glass, for medicinal purposes.
The first Napa Valley wine I ever paid really good attention to was a big gorgeous goblet of Opus One (poured from a magnum bottle by a waiter at my favorite New Orleans Italian spot, Maximo's, during the time that I lived there). I was dining that night with a girlfriend and, well, we did live in New Orleans, so weekday dinners could turn as decadent as you can imagine. The couple at the table next us had uncorked a big magnum bottle of Opus One. They sent glasses full of the ruby-rich wine over to our table, since they had such a large bottle to share. As soon as we enjoyed one large sumptuous glass the size of a fishbowl, the waiter was summoned to pour us yet another glassful. Granted, this was not in Napa Valley, but New Orleans, and being a California girl, I was proud to say the wine was from my state of origin.
I'm not a wine snob, but I've enjoyed many good --and some quite amazing-- wines. I've dined in fine dining establishments and have attended dinners as the guest of celebrity chefs. I've gone to wine tastings up and down the California coast. I've also been pushed down the street late at night in a shopping cart by a drunk friend while clutching a super cheap bottle of Chablis plonk. I worked as a bartender in a wine bar on Prytania Street in New Orleans, where I once overheard someone say: I'm not a drunk, I'm a wino. I'd tend to agree.
While I've enjoyed many fine wines, I can understand how certain wines stand out and become an experience rather than just a good glass of vino. This Cabernet leans towards the experience side of the spectrum.
It's finish on the tongue is soft and tastes of warm fruit leather, gentle and comforting, and as I held the taste in my mouth awhile longer, it made me feel an uplifting sense of euphoria. As I walked around barefoot in my garden, glass of wine in hand, I took another sip and savored it. The sunlight faded and everything turned a dusky magical hue. A warm breeze rustled the bougainvillea vines. I noticed everything: the delicate nuances of the wine, the temperature of the air, the coolness of damp grass under my feet. I was at home in California, experiencing a delightfully special Napa Valley wine in my backyard.

Here are the five different rivers offering river cruises through Germany to help you understand what you might experience on each.
Don't be surprised if you fall in love with this lively, vibrant city. It has a way of turning visitors into lifelong fans. Although Cologne, which is one of the largest cities in Germany, is very modern, it also has a storied past. Its Altstadt–or Old Town–still contains many buildings from the Middle Ages.
Cologne is also home to the stunning Kolner Dom Cathedral, one of the largest in Germany. And if you'll be in Cologne in late November or December, make sure to check out its seven mesmerizing Christmas Markets, which attract nearly 2 million visitors each year.
Located in the Rhine Valley, picturesque Rudesheim is a wine making town that's best known for its Drosselgasse, a pedestrian-only, cobbled street that is lined with historic buildings, restaurants and shops. The Drosselgasse is an excellent place to enjoy live music, grab a bite to eat or search for souvenirs.
Although Germany is home to more than its fair share of picturesque towns, Wertheim is one of its most beautiful and photogenic. The streets are lined with colorful half-timbered houses, and it has castle ruins just waiting to be explored.
A climb to see the ruins is definitely worth the effort as you traverse the castle's grounds and check out its moat and bulwark. Plus, you'll also enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
This city's beautiful medieval Old Town is so well-preserved that it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bamberg also boasts a unique town hall that's situated in the middle of a river.
But a visit to Bamberg isn't just about history, this town is also known for its smoked beer, which has a very distinctive flavor. If you're a beer aficionado, make sure to check out at least one of the approximately ten breweries in Bamberg that specialize in this feisty brew.
Beautiful Dresden has been called the "Florence on the Elbe." This city has so much to see, including its Zwinger Palace museum complex, the Semper Opera House and the Dresden Castle complex.
Then there's Dresden's Green Vault, which contains, arguably, the largest collection of treasures in all of Europe. And you won't want to miss seeing the reconstructed Frauenkirche, which many consider to be the most beautiful church in Europe.
With its colorful half-timbered houses and charming cottages, Cochem is considered to be one of the prettiest medieval towns on the Mosel River. It also boasts an impressive castle, the Reichsburg, which dates back to the first millennium and looms over the village.
"The Pearl of the Moselle," Bernkastel's medieval town square is centered around the fountain of St. Michael and is also the location of the famous "Pointed House." Built in 1416, the house is well-known for how very narrow and small it is. In this charming town, wine lovers can delight in some of the finest wines produced in Germany.
This picturesque town, which is located at the confluence of the Danube, Naab and Regan Rivers, is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. It is also one of Germany's oldest towns, dating back to 179 A.D. It boasts numerous historic structures, including its 12th-century Old Bridge, and its old city of Regensburg is an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This city is situated at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz Rivers, which is why it's also known as the City of Three Rivers. Passau boasts several interesting sites, including the baroque St. Stephen's Cathedral, with its 17,000-pipe organ, and the Veste Oberhaus, a defensive fortress that was built by the prince-bishops. And its Old Town is perfect for a day of meandering and soaking up the atmosphere.

THE FIGHtING SPIRIT FILM FESTIVAL 2017
Fighting Spirit Film Festival 2017
Having attended the first Fighting Spirit Film Festival last year, I was very much looking forward to attending this year's event and to witness its growth. As before, the festival put on a number of films throughout the day, which I shall describe shortly, but the festival had also expanded its short film programme and organised a competition whereby the audience and selected judges could vote for their favourite shorts on the day.
The festival kicked off with a special charity screening of Ip Man: Final Fight. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend this particular film as I was travelling up from Bristol but having seen Ip Man: A Legend is Born, I imagine the film, directed by Herman Yau, is a very solid martial arts film and not the exploitative cash-in that people might be expecting.
I was able to get to see The Karate Kid - the original version starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita. Funnily enough, I had never seen this film - much to the incredulation of everyone I mentioned that to on the day - so what better way to finally get round to seeing this now-cult movie, than on the Big Screen?
It turned out to be a lot of fun, although Macchio's Daniel comes across as a total prat that it's difficult to feel too much sympathy for him when he's getting bullied. However, the final tournament scenes are really exciting.
Later we were able to see the first UK screening of RE:BORN, a Japanese action thriller starring Tak Sakaguchi (from cult favourite VERSUS). The film's plot bears similarities to the likes of The Man From Nowhere and Headshort, and has a tonne of action - maybe too much. There is a scene of carnage in a forest which just goes on for way too long, for my taste.
The day's features were rounded off with a classic, 36 Chambers of Shaolin, starring Gordon Liu. This is one of my favourite martial arts films, and contains one of the greatest training scenes as Liu works his way through each chamber, developing his skills more and more. Again this was a great treat to see on the cinema screen.
The features were only part of the picture, however. Arguably the bigger draw was the short film programme and meeting many of the film-makers who were in attendance on the day. There were two programmes - a more family friendly one in the afternoon, and then a more violent-orientated one in the evening. Both had some exemplary shorts to offer, and these are my pick of the best...
SOHO JIMBO - Chris Cheung blew me away with his playful take on the martial arts duel in his previous short, Handuken. Soho Jimbo ups the playfulness with a great mistaken identity concept.
EXPRESS DELIVERY - Beau Fowler both directs and stars in this great fight scene. A man only known as Swifty finds himself in the trunk of a bounty hunter - he has to discover the man's identity before the clients arrive. This is a very well shot and executed fight scene which messes with your allegiances.
I AM NOT THE DEVIL - Not only is this a well put-together action film, but it contains one of the best horror concepts I've ever come across. A professional thief infiltrates an illegal underground auction where girls possessed by demons are being sold to the highest bidders. Of all the films on show, this is the one I hope gets expanded to feature length the most.
BLINDSIDED - Eric Jacobous and his team are just on a different level to everyone else out there. Blindsided follows in the footsteps of Rope-a-Dope 1 and 2 and delivers what is best described as an unofficial Daredevil episode, if Daredevil lived in Los Angeles. Eric plays Walter, a blind guy who comes to the aid of Gordon, a shopkeeper being threatened by the Kung Fu Mafia we saw in the previous films. The fight co-ordination is just electric.
PORTRAIT OF A MARTIAL ARTIST - When you strip away the myths and fiction and fantasy of martial arts, this is what you are left with - pure spirit and potential. Xue Yhang is a Martial Artist and Self Defence practitioner, coach / instructor, and the film documents his training and philosophies about martial arts.
THE REAL TARGET - This is a film with its eye on becoming a feature - its one of three films connected by various characters. In this film, a group of secret agents are trying to prevent a deadly weapon being sold at a black-market auction. It's a lot of fun and would make a great feature film.
SHADOW WARRIORS - One of the shortest films on show but still manages to tell an entertaining story about two masked vigilantes who are after the same target and discover a startling revelation about each other.
DEAD END - another film containing a startling revelation, this time between two partners in crime who have managed to escape from a heist-gone-wrong, only to turn on each other.
KOWLOON KILLERS - Leif Johnson knocks it out of the park with a film which harks back to the Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema. Two undercover cops are ambushed in a supermarket in Kowloon - but who set them up?
CAIN AND ABEL: CURSED EARTH - This is one of those films with a convoluted backstory but if you can stay with it its a very entertaining film. It reminded me of a lot of Japanese anime with its concepts of beings with great power living on Earth.
LAST CHANCE: A very short and not sweet tale of a woman being bullied in the gym and being forced to give an ass-kicking. Good choreography and editing make this a petite delight.
Blindsided, Kowloon Killers and Express Delivery were the winners on the day but the festival's short film programme really showcased the burgeoning talent in the film industry and especially those who have a keen interest in martial arts films. It certainly bodes well for the future when hopefully we shall see some of these film-makers producing feature length films of their own.
Next year, the festival is planning on taking place over two days. This is a great decision and a clear indication of the festival's success and growth. I personally can't wait to see what they come up with.

LONDON (CBS.MW) - U.S. stocks were marked higher in pre-open trading on Monday, taking support from the move up in European equities and amid continued expectation that dealers are unwilling to end a strong quarter on a down note.
That said, volumes were thin.
Microsoft MSFT, +1.45% traded around the upper end of $25.80s in euro trading in Frankfurt, up some 20 cents. It was last adding to gains and up 1.4 percent at $26 on Instinet. The software maker stock could see gains if Microsoft were to up its dividend, according to a cover story in the financial weekly Barron's.
Real Networks RNWK, +2.76% surged 11.2 percent to $7.05 on Instinet, up from gains around $6.90 eariler, dealers at Madoff Securities in London said. The company was expected Monday to announce Vodafone (VOD) has agreed to offer the online media company's multimedia technology to its Vodafone Live subscribers in certain markets. See more
In Europe, the German DAX Xetra 30 index rose 1.1 percent to 3,261 as auto stocks took off. The powerful IG Metall union suffered a rare setback and called off a strike this weekend, which means production is back on for the sector.
French engineering group Alstom ALS, +1.04% proved an exception in Europe on a profit restatement announcement. ALS dropped 3.8 percent in Paris. It said losses have been significantly understated in its Alstom Transportation unit. Alstom said its U.S. unit was found to have engaged in accounting misdeeds, including the non-recognition of costs incurred in anticipation of shifting them to other contracts, and the understatement of forecast costs to completion.
Tokyo stocks saw a slight decline on Monday, finishing the second quarter with a 14 percent rise. See story on Asia markets.
In the U.S., the key economic data ahead is the Chicago PMI index. The overnight was weaker, with SBC Communications, Honeywell and Hewlett-Packard taking losses. See story on U.S. markets.
In early tech action, shares of EMC EMC, +1.81% were some 5-6 points higher off a $10.30 Friday close, dealers said. Broker Credit Suisse First Boston lent overnight support, telling clients it expects EMC will report revenue in the mid to high-end of its $1.425-$1.475 billion guided range for the second quarter, slated for release July 16.
"We expect Symmetrix 6 sales will show solid sequential growth, which should lead to market share gains and contribute to continued gross margin expansion," the broker said.
Chip stocks may see some attention after trade group the Semiconductor Industry Association said total May sales were up 7.4 percent over the month on higher average selling prices. Sales were up 11.3 percent over May 2002. The May sales were above the 10-year historical average.
"After a weak month of April, which was likely affected by SARS and the Iraq war, May rebounded nicely and we believe that the quarter to date appears to be tracking toward a typical quarter-to-quarter growth rate," UBS told clients.
Shares of Intel Corp. INTC, +1.96% were up as much as 3 percent at $21.18 on Instinet. The stock was upped at Citigroup, which also cut National Semi NSM, +0.00%. ADRs of German chipmaker Infineon Technologies IFX, +2.09% were up 3 percent and chip equipment stocks were seeing some small gains.
LSI Logic LSI, -0.07% said it expects sequential revenue growth of 9 percent for the second quarter from its first-quarter total of $372.8 million, a forecast that's at the high end of its previously disclosed range. The Milpitas, Calif. chip technology firm now sees a pro forma loss for the quarter of 6 to 8 cents per share, 4 cents better than its prior outlook
The S&P 500 stocks SPY, +0.99% were up 0.5 percent and the Nasdaq 100 tracker QQQ, +1.27% was up as much as 1.2 percent.
Key QQQ components outside Microsoft and Intel were seeing pushing gains. Cisco Systems CSCO, +0.67% was up 1.2 percent.
Corixa CRXA spiked 19 percent to $8.62. The company and GlaxoSmithKline GSK, +0.24% said Bexxar has received Food and Drug Administration approval for the treatment of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. GSK was little moved in London trade.

Again has Montalvo, the palatial home of Sen. James Duval Phelan, on the foothills of our western mountains, swung wide its portals for distinguished guests. Sen. Phelan entertained at luncheon on Friday, the honored guests being Hon. William T. McAdoo and Mrs. McAdoo, charming daughter of President Woodrow Wilson. The luncheon was served on the veranda, after which the guests wandered about the beautiful grounds or enjoyed the art treasures of the mansion. (San Jose Mercury News, Oct. 24, 1915)

J. D. Farwell, D. C. Bell and Arthur M. Free, acting as a committee representing the people of Austin Corners, Saratoga and Los Gatos, appeared before Mayor James Rolph and other officials in San Francisco Friday to protest the establishment of a tubercular hospital by the city and county of San Francisco at Nippon Mura. Sen. James D. Phelan has already entered a strong protest against the hospital. (Evening News, May 31, 1920)
89 years ago
James D. Phelan passed the last weekend at his villa, Montalvo. Mr. Phelan, during his trip around the world, purchased many wonderful objects of art, and he is now busy unpacking the 30 boxes which have just arrived. He also has hundreds of pictures and postcards of that tour. He is spending most of his time at the home of his sister, Miss Mary Phelan, San Francisco. (Evening News, Oct. 2, 1922)

San Francisco–Helen Wills Moody today branded "perfectly absurd" the suggestion she would jeopardize her amateur tennis standing by accepting a $20,000 legacy bequeathed to her in the will of the late James D. Phelan, former United States Senator. The legacy was one of numerous bequests revealed when the former Senator's will was filed here, disposing of an estate estimated at $10,000,000. The will said the gift was "in appreciation of her winning the tennis championship for California."
"It couldn't possibly have anything to do with my amateur standing, and I think the suggestion is in extremely bad taste," said Mrs. Moody today. "I am very sorry that any such controversy should arise. There should be nothing said about it whatever. I am sure Sen. Phelan would not have liked it." (Trenton Evening Times, Aug. 16, 1930)
Peggy Conaway Bergtold compiled this report.

Are you rewriting the same goals on your to-do list year after year because you never get around to them?
Are you frustrated with your situation because nothing you do seems to work in your favor?
Are you using all the crystals, candles, herbs, oils, spells, affirmations, and prayers you can find and still not getting what you want?
Are you tired of feeling insecure, alone, and disappointed despite all your efforts to make a change in your life?
You don't know what to do and how to do it and that's causing you not to get the results you want. Your physical efforts aren't working. Your spiritual efforts aren't working. You know there's something you just can't seem to figure out but you don't know what that is. Here's where SUPERNATURAL comes in.
SUPERNATURAL teaches you how to combine consistent action with the power of intention to manifest your desires.
SUPERNATURAL is a self-paced online course with a video and activities that you can access immediately. By the end of this course you will have ICED all your goals and be ready for the next challenge.
What's ICED? That's the signature system that SUPERNATURAL uses to teach you how to work alongside the Divine to co-create and manifest your desires.
Enrollment is always open and ready when you are.
Short answer - nah. This course will provide various ways to connect with the Divine in ways that resonate most with you but not in a way that is religious or system-specific. There are other places to learn specific rituals and spell-work, if you're into that.
If you're tired of your own bullshit, to be honest. If you want to achieve anything at all and can't figure out why you never do anything, you can't afford not to be here. The fact that you even asked this probably means you're trying to talk yourself out of doing something (else!) you probably need to do. Go enroll now, boo.
Not for this course, no. However, if you would like to join the private Facebook group to learn and discuss with like-minded folks, you're more than welcome to do so but it is not required.
The course is set up for you to work at your own pace, and quickly or as slowly as you need to. You will receive a video lesson, full transcript of the video for your reference, a slide deck, and a workbook with 40 pages of activities to assist you on your journey.

Schickel to Sichuan
Having so much enjoyed my first visit to Loveland to see the work of William Schickel, I went back for a second visit in the same week. This time on a date with Meg.
William Schickel and local Cincinnati artist David Day designed the poster above. In the interest of saving money, Schickel did studies for paintings on the backside of posters like these.
I noticed new details like the WS logo stamped near his signature on some pieces.
Meg and I stopped by Plaid Room Records and picked up several records, one which included a hammer dulcimist.
Following many recommendations, Meg and I went to Sichuan Chilli for dinner. Anthony Bourdain piqued our interest in Sichuan cuisine during Parts Unknown episode 3, season 8.
The food was incredible and far too much for me and Meg to finish ourselves.
Our date closed with a stroll through the CAM International Market.
