I've been thinking a lot about vision casting for my team at Child Evangelism Fellowship in Houston, TX. As I've been reading other material on this, I came across a statement made by Michael Hyatt (you can follow his great blog here): If your vision doesn't scare you, it's not big enough.
That statement scared me. So I stopped trying to figure out what I want for CEF Houston and began to pray about what God wants.
This is a great process for me. Having read one of Hyatt's blog posts about vision casting, I decided to follow his advice and prayerfully create a vision statement for our Houston chapter.
I wrote it as if it was already happening. And my dream for CEF Houston is big. It does make me nervous. In a way, I don't feel in control–but that's right where He wants me. I must rely on Him. This is His ministry, and I believe He wants children and their families to trust in His Son for salvation!
So, below is my vision statement. It's my daily prayer requests for us. Would you join me in praying through this?
And why don't you take a shot at creating a vision statement for your job, personal life, family, church, etc.
Child Evangelism Fellowship of Greater Houston is the city's leading method of reaching children and their families for Christ and plugging them into Bible-teaching churches.
We have 20 ongoing Good News Clubs in each of the 24 Houston-area ISDs. That's 480 clubs.
The Good News Club ministry reaches 24,000 children for Christ each year. This number is growing.
We are widely known as the city's most effective youth mission-training organization that reaches children with the gospel every summer.
We train 2,000 Christian teens to do 5-Day Clubs in greater Houston every summer.
The 5-Day Club Summer Missions Program reaches 50,000 children for Christ each year. Apartment complexes, daycare centers, and youth pastors are knocking on our front door.
The total number of children being reached by our partnered churches is 74,000 each year. This number is growing.
CEF Houston has a team of 30 Senior Ministry Coordinators, 10 trainers, 1 Event Coordinator, 1 Fundraising Coordinator, and 2 Executive Assistants.
People beg to become part of our team.
CEF Houston is listed as the #1 States-side evangelistic ministry among Christian magazines and journals.
We have an annual budget exceeding $5 million.
Question: What is your vision?

Grammy-Award-winning artist, MAC ambassador and high street collaborator Rihanna might already have many strings to her bow. But it looks like the singer isn't going to stop anytime soon, as she's reportedly purchased the trademark for her surname – leading to speculation that she's about to launch her own clothing line.
The Barbados-born pop star, who has already designed three collections for River Island and can name the likes of Karl Lagerfield and Riccardo Tisci as her friends, is set to put her own stamp on the industry following the purchase of the trademark 'Fenty'.
According to Trademark documents, Rihanna has assigned the trademark to a range of categories including clothing, swimwear, lingerie, beauty, cosmetics and nails.
We can't help but feel that since leaving Instagram, Rihanna has been very productive.

Royal Naval Dockyard Guidance Note
This document provides guidance and advice to the West End Development Corporation, property owners, occupiers, agents, planning staff and advisory bodies on appropriate design in the Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area.
The guidance notes apply to matters of design related to the development of existing buildings as well as to the development of new buildings and the public realm.
2. The Intent of Guidelines
Development regulations in the Bermuda Plan 2018 are prescriptive, that is, what shall be required. Policies within the Plan include general principles which establish the philosophy of development envisioned for Bermuda. Guidance notes contain general principles to assist in the implementation of plan policies.
These guidelines are a complementary tool to assist users as to what is appropriate or compatible in the Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area and for listed buildings located therein. They are a framework for decision-making amongst property owners, agents, and development control officials. They are based on recognition of, and respect for:
(a) The setting, views and vistas that provide the visual context of the Dockyard building assembly;
(b) The forms, features and materials producing a unique pattern of building that gives the Dockyard its distinctive identity;
(c) The essential character of each individual existing building;
(d) The accommodation of new development that integrates well into the historic setting and the specific site in which it is to be located.
(e) The Statutory Framework
Development in the Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area is governed by the Development and Planning Act 1974 and the Bermuda Plan 2018. Sections 30 and 31 of the Act give the statutory provisions for designating listed buildings and buildings in historic protection areas.
Development also includes the installation of signs on buildings, and the Advertisement Regulations Act, 1911 stipulates the nature and content of all such signs. General guidelines on signs in the Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area are contained in this document.
3. The Bermuda Plan 2018
The guidance notes are pursuant to the Bermuda Plan 2018, Chapter 9 (Design), particularly the Objectives and DSN.4 (Bermuda Image) and DSN.5 (Design principles for urban areas); Chapter 22 (Historic Environment), particularly HSC.6 (Historic Protection Areas), HSC.9, HSC.10 (Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area), HSC.12 and HSC.13 (Archaeology) and Chapter 31 (Mixed Use), particularly MXD.6. Relevant sections of the Plan are reproduced verbatim in the Appendix to this document. The Plan also provides development criteria and regulations for this area.
4. Related Guidance Notes
In matters of design in the Royal Naval Dockyard, reference (in addition to the statutory instruments) should also be made to Development Control Guidance Notes: GN203 Alterations or additions to Listed Buildings and/or buildings located within Historic Areas. This document provides guidance on procedure for planning applications and what is considered appropriate in the way of external alteration to buildings and, if listed, gives guidance on grades. However, information on typical features of buildings is not relevant owing to the distinctive building composition of the Dockyard buildings.
Of particular importance in Guidance Note: GN203 are the Guiding Principles for Treatment of Historic Buildings. These principles are derived from UNESCO-approved charters as well as the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for appropriate heritage conservation. As a tool in design, they represent the preferred approach to maintaining, repairing and replacing historic materials as well as designing new additions and making alterations. Reference to these principles will be particularly useful when the repair and replacement of deteriorated features are necessary and/or when alterations or additions to the property are planned for a new or continued use:
(a) Wherever possible, a historic building should be used as it was historically, or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
(b) The special architectural or historic character of a historic building should be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property is discouraged.
(c) Each historic building represents a physical record of its time, place, and use and therefore any changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, are discouraged.
(d) Changes to a historic building that has acquired special architectural or historic significance in its own right should be treated as part of the special character of the building and, where possible, be retained and preserved.
(e) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property should be preserved.
(f) Deteriorated historic features should be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature should match the old in design, colour, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features should be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
(g) Archaeological resources should be protected and preserved in place (Note: The Development Applications Board may require the undertaking of a Preliminary Archaeological Assessment for any proposal impacting a Listed Building or Historic Protection Area, as referenced in the Bermuda Plan 2018, policies HSC.12 and HSC.13. Please refer to Guidance Note GN 119: Archaeological Assessments.)
(h) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction should not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the Listed Building. The new work should be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment, while being distinguishable from older work.
(i) New additions and adjacent or related new construction should be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the Listed Building and its environment would be unimpaired.
5. Character Statement: R. N. Dockyard Historic Protection Area
The Character Statement for the Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area is a formal statement of the specific character of the area, that is, the physical attributes that belong uniquely to the Royal Naval Dockyard which, when taken together, constitute a distinct environment. The statement presents an overall picture of this distinctiveness and therefore does not itemize the full range of building types, building styles, and forms of expression
The Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area comprises an assemblage of defense works, buildings, open spaces and connecting roadways, located in an area of approximately twenty-four acres at the outermost reach of Ireland Island. The defense works, which are organized formally in three precincts known as the Land Front, the Western Rampart, and the Keep, surround a large collection of structures originally associated with naval activity. Most structures are in hard Bermuda limestone. Amongst the many buildings are landmarks of national historic significance including the Casemate Barracks, the Great Eastern Storehouse (the "Clock Tower" building), and the Commissioner's House. The present character of the Dockyard is the result of evolutionary changes in land use, culminating in institutional (Bermuda Maritime Museum), recreational and commercial uses. Despite these changes, the Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area continues to illustrate in a profound manner Bermuda's strategic role in Atlantic defense and trade in the nineteenth century.
5.2 Character-defining elements
(a) Bastions and rampart walls in hard Bermuda limestone lining the southern, western and northern extremities of the area, some portions containing gun emplacements;
(b) A hard-edged sea wall lining the eastern extremity of land, within which is a shipyard slip and a ferry-landing slip;
(c) Two projecting piers encasing a body of calmed water, affording berthing of large and small vessels;
(d) Buildings in hard Bermuda limestone within the Land Front defense works, rectangular in shape, with predominantly evenly-spaced windows, barrel vaulted interior roofing for defense purposes, and with flat or pitched exterior roofs, arranged asymmetrically;
(e) Buildings in hard Bermuda limestone located between the Western Rampart and the eastern waterfront, rectangular in shape, primarily one or two-storey, large in scale, symmetrical, with evenly-spaced wooden windows (many with segmental-arches), pitched roofs (presently of corrugated material), some with special features including towers, the assembly arranged in distinct, ordered groupings, and set back within manicured front lawns;
(f) Buildings in hard Bermuda limestone located within the Keep, comprising a dominant central building (the Commissioner's House), square in shape with a four-sided projecting verandah, various supporting structures, and fortifications structures;
(g) Smaller support structures and sites of commemoration within each precinct;
(h) Paved roadways, sidewalks and parking areas within landscaped borders and distinctive surfacing where appropriate;
(i) Green spaces for passive use;
(j) A programme of way-finding signage and specialized lighting.
6. Guidelines for Development
In the context of the Character Statement, and in conformance with Sections HSC.9 and HSC.10 of the Bermuda Plan 2018, development including new buildings and additions to existing buildings should adhere to the following design considerations:
6.1 Placement (setback)
Objective: To maintain the existing building/site relationship of the Royal Naval Dockyard
Buildings should be placed on their site in a manner that is contiguous to the building composition within its immediate surrounds and to which it will be visually related. Where buildings generally abut or are very close to roadways, new buildings should be placed in a like manner. Where buildings are located as pavilions set in landscaped open space, with front, side, or rear open or green spaces, new buildings should be placed upon the lot (or set back) in a manner that expresses the continuance of this tradition. In general, new buildings should be placed with their primary entrances and/or shop fronts oriented to the road or to open spaces frequented by the public, so as to encourage pedestrian activity. Doors and entrances should be directly accessible at grade that is, without the use of step or ramps as befits development of Dockyard as a military site.
6.2 Height
Objective: To preserve the profile and silhouette of the Royal Naval Dockyard.
The maximum height is regulated in the Bermuda Plan 2018, that is, no development shall exceed four storeys in the Mixed Use zone and two storeys in the Institutional Zone. The Development Applications Board has the discretion to approve development to a maximum of five storeys in the Mixed Use zone where the additional storey is contained within the attic or roof area of the building. Any increase in height of an existing building to these maximums should follow these criteria:
(a) the exterior design of the addition should be compatible with the existing building;
(b) the structural requirements of the addition should not involve the removal of character-defining features of the building;
(c) the addition will not block significant views or affect the character of any abutting space in the public realm.
What is considered appropriate in terms of height in the Dockyard is dependent upon the context in which a new building is to be placed, that is, whether the building will take its place as part of a row or another type of grouping, will be part of the view-scape of a visually prominent historic building, or will be a stand-alone structure, such as a cruise ship or ferry terminal. The appropriate height of a new building depends also on its proposed bulk and massing. Projections such as towers may exceed the prescribed height limit provided that their mass is vertical in orientation and they do not block important views.
There is no minimum height ascribed to the Royal Naval Dockyard.
6.3 Bulk and massing
Objective: To respect the prevailing bulk and massing of buildings within the Dockyard.
The Royal Naval Dockyard Historic Protection Area is characterized by large institutional buildings of uniform material located within formal, occasionally symmetrically-arranged settings. Their large massing is broken up with the variation presented by solids and voids, horizontal and vertical definition, variation between rough-cut and ashlar masonry, and special features such as balustrades and quoins. Roofs are commonly low in pitch and either hipped or gabled. There are many supporting structures such as gate houses and gates, walls, small outbuildings and gazebos.
New buildings should be designed is such a way that the essential bulk and massing characteristics within the various settings are not lost. New structures of similar bulk should continue to employ solids and voids of similar rhythm and dimension, and carry features, both horizontal and vertical, that help to break up the large mass. Roof pitch should not vary significantly from that which is prevalent. Care should be taken to preserve important aspects or views of buildings and the waterfront. Supporting (smaller) buildings should remain secondary and not dominate this essential character, but they should be designed so as to be compatible with surrounding development.
Additions to existing buildings should not duplicate or mimic their architectural expression, but should employ materials and massing in a like manner without dominating the original building. Additions should be offset from existing buildings and should be distinguishable from nineteenth century work.
6.4 Scale and proportion of buildings
Objective: To maintain a scale in keeping with buildings of an industrial, military or institutional bearing and to ensure a harmonious pattern of buildings within a distinctive area.
The scale of most of the buildings in the Dockyard is defined by substantial floor-to-floor heights, entrances and openings, all of which are appropriate for buildings intended for military/industrial use. Most buildings maintain a predominantly horizontal orientation while building features are used to create pleasant and cohesive compositions. New buildings and additions to existing buildings should be designed to respect prevailing proportion so as to retain a sense of unity and harmony in the overall composition. Such development should not duplicate or mimic their architectural expression, but should maintain proportions in a manner similar to prevailing development.
6.5 Exterior materials, detailing and features
Objective: To maintain the traditional image of the Dockyard
The vast majority of buildings, fortifications, walls and gates in the Royal Naval Dockyard are constructed of hard Bermuda limestone and imported granite. Some buildings are constructed of soft Bermuda stone which is normally plastered or rendered. While there are some traditional Bermuda roofs within the area, most roofing for large industrial/military buildings is presently of profiled zinc and corrugated material. Materials used in new construction should be compatible with these materials, but need not duplicate them. Stone, high quality metal, cast concrete, wood and glass will be considered compatible when used to complement the essential character of the area.
The substantial mass of most buildings, and their scale, are compensated for by detailing and features that help to break up the mass. The towers of the Clock tower Building are the prime example, but there are also deeply recessed bays, balconies, corner treatments and decorative details elsewhere in the complex. These elements may be used to creative effect to minimize bulk in new buildings, provided they are respectful of scale and proportion. However, in terms of architectural expression, care should be taken to treat new buildings as objects of contemporary expression while being compatible with the historic environment. Detailing and features should not be used to provide a false sense of historical development. Blank walls should be avoided in highly traveled public areas.
6.6 Colour
Objective: To encourage a consistent and harmonious exterior colour palette for applicable Dockyard buildings
Colour is not regulated in the Bermuda Plan 2018 although it is policy that a colour that significantly differs from the traditional palette of Bermuda colours may require planning permission. In the Royal Naval Dockyard, colour appears only sparingly, given that most structures are outwardly expressed in unadorned masonry, and are not plastered and painted. Therefore, with a few exceptions, the overall image is soft grey, with colour used simply as a detail in windows, doors, signs and landscaping elements. Where it is possible to add colour to a building, a palette of Bermuda colours in the deep-primary and earth-tone ranges, in keeping with the military/industrial character of the buildings, is encouraged. Consideration should be given to unified colour schemes for buildings which form part of a distinctive grouping.
6.7 The public realm
Objective: To provide attractive and appropriate amenities for users, and to provide a unified image of the Dockyard.
In the Royal Naval Dockyard, the public realm is one of the key defining features since many buildings are in themselves public buildings and they front on public throughways. Moreover, many buildings take prominent places near the waterfront and have a role in intermodal transport. Having a distinct identity as expressed in its buildings, the Dockyard requires paving, landscaping, furnishings, signs and supporting structures with a clear and consistent design vocabulary. Additionally, these elements should be of high quality and installed with attention to fit and comfort, bearing in mind the large number of pedestrians from cruise ships and ferries.
Where possible, and without adversely affecting the character of historic buildings, places open to the public, whether commercial or cultural establishments, or places of historic interest, should be oriented to the road or sidewalk that is traveled by the public, and newly developed areas will require corresponding improvements in public-realm infrastructure.
The principle of public access to the water's edge is paramount in any decisions regarding the public realm. Indeed, the relationship of the Dockyard to berthing for large and small vessels is one of its character-defining elements. Public uses should be provided where possible and planned in an integrated way that is compatible with the function of the space.
The following parameters should be observed when selecting and installing street and public space elements:
(a) Design should complement the character of Dockyard, recognizing its history and pattern of development over time, and not dominate or detract from it.
(b) Design should meet the needs of Dockyard in terms of pedestrian access, traffic circulation, safety, and ease of maintenance.
(c) Traditional and non-traditional materials may be employed. Where materials are not traditional, materials should be compatible with traditional materials.
(d) Where possible, furnishings manufactured or crafted locally should be employed, provided the design is appropriate to the setting. Uniquely crafted furnishings enhance the distinctiveness of a place.
(e) Where feasible, elements such as seating, trash receptacles and public telephones should be grouped together, to promote respectful use and socialization.
7.7.1 Surfacing
Though not historically "correct" in the Dockyard, special surfacing of roads, sidewalks, public spaces and crossing points adds texture and warmth to the setting. Materials can be used in combinations that help define a space, such as a street or public area, mark areas intended for pedestrian travel, and aid in traffic calming. Materials should be selected that are non-slip, enable movement by the physically challenged, facilitate drainage, and harmonize with buildings in terms of colour, shape, size, and texture. The use of too many varieties of paving surfaces within a single setting should be avoided.
7.7.2. Support
Gazebos, shelters, ticket booths, and other supporting structures should be designed using a vocabulary that is compatible with the historic setting. Consideration may be given to distinctive design of these elements within the Keep which houses the Museum complex.
7.7.3 Seating
Seating can be achieved using benches, low perimeter walls, and stone planters. Bench seating should be durable and commodious, and ideally capable of arranging so that users may socialize.
7.7.4 Trash
Receptacles for trash should be generally compatible with light standards and benches in appearance.
7.7.5 Light standards
Lighting standards should be oriented to the pedestrian to provide a slower rhythm and "pace" to streets and public spaces. The design of light standards need not be based on historical documentation, but should be compatible with the historic environment of this area. Where feasible, lighting standards should be capable of accepting banners for celebration.
7.7.6 Vegetation
Trees and shrubs should be selected to provide shade where needed while helping to define, or create a sense of enclosure to, selected spaces and streets, for example at traffic "choker" points, at the borders of open spaces, and at selected points on a street where feasible. Grassed or semi-grassed surfaces may be applied where a transition from hard to soft landscaping is desired.
7.7.7 Bollards
Bollards intended to restrict vehicular access should be durable enough to resist vehicular damage, with a width and height suitable to enable double-duty as incidental seating.
7.7.8 Public Art
Murals on public or private buildings, three-dimensional art or sculpture in public places, and specially fabricated streetscape elements can act as positive visual and social enhancements which may reflect a local theme, tell an important story, or express a point of view. However, public art should act in support of the area's historic character, not detract from it. In all cases, it should not obscure a building's character-defining features, heavily alter the ambience of a public place, block important views and vistas, or harm the natural environment. The subject matter need not be historical in nature, but should be relevant to the identity of the area.
7.7.9 Contemporary elements
To minimize the visual impact of air conditioning units, vents, exhaust fans, skylights, satellite dishes, utility structures and other contemporary service elements should be located, where possible away from public view, and should not obscure character-defining features of buildings.
7.7.10 Signs
The Advertisements Regulations Act 1911 gives the restrictions on signs. This information is summarized in Guidance Note: GN409 – A Guide to Advertisement Signs & Announcements. Essentially, a sign may announce the name of a business or institution, and the height and width of lettering may not exceed 15 inches. Signs may not be visible above the roof-line or sky-line, may not be flashing or illuminated from within the sign assembly, and may not contain the National Flag, brand names or logos.
The following are additional guidelines for signs in the Dockyard;
As a visitor destination, the Dockyard features many types of signs. They include directional or wayfinding signs, warning signs, interpretative signs or panels, and advertising signs which mark places of business or specific attractions. A popular sign type is the horizontal or vertical banner. The latter can be effective in marking the site of an attraction or a specific event or festival. Signs are mounted to buildings as flat, projecting, hanging or awning signs, or are free-standing (in-ground, sandwich-board, or banner on a pole or light-standard). As a general principle, sign types and styles should be compatible with the historic environment, should support the visual coherence of streetscapes and buildings, and should not present undue visual clutter.
Generally, signs should be compatible with the purpose, size and design of the building or place to which they visually relate. Maximum sign face area should be proportional to the building and should not dominate the building face. No more than one advertising sign per façade should be applied and buildings should never be over-signed. Signs should not be visible above the roofline or skyline of any property, and should not obscure traffic warning signs. The design of signs should follow these parameters:
(a) Signs mounted on buildings should be of a compatible material, should not dominate the façade, and should not obscure character-defining features.
(b) Freestanding signs should not hinder the relationship of the building to its associated landscape.
(c) Lighting of signs is permitted, but lighting should not dominate the sign assembly or be so obtrusive as to be a hazard to traffic. Neon or back-lit box signs are prohibited.
(d) Wayfinding and interpretative signs, and special banners marking festivals or events, should follow a uniform pattern in terms of materials, structure and layout.

WOYM was conceived in the mobile Facebook environment as an ongoing series of status updates, offering visual responses to the daily question that welcomes the user into the domain. In spatial terms, "What's on your mind?" is a permanent type of vitrine, an empty show case, even so strategically located at the entrance, exhibiting not so much the digital object but the impermanence such objects yield and necessitate, so that the timeline can continue to appear vacant and unexhausted of vital content. It is an electrically powered disposal unit shredding interiority into large bulks of content-without-context. While exploring the changing landscape of writing customs affected by technology, WOYM attempts to weave storytelling back into visual language taking cues from erroneous aesthetics that alter meaning in new and interesting ways.

NASA Offers Media Access To Mars-Bound Rover On Aug. 12
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA's next Mars rover, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) known as Curiosity, will be the focus of a media opportunity at 7 a.m. EDT on Friday, Aug. 12, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
News media representatives will have an opportunity to photograph the rover and interview project and launch program officials during the event at Kennedy's Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility. Curiosity will be integrated later with its descent stage, which will take it to the Martian surface. The MSL mission is targeted to launch Nov. 25 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Complex 41 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
For the Aug. 12 event, journalists must arrive at the Kennedy Press Site no later than 7 a.m. for transportation to the facility. They will return to the Press Site by 10:15 a.m. No more than two representatives from a media organization will be allowed to participate because of limited space.
The deadline to apply for accreditation is Thursday, Aug. 11 at noon. Government photo identification, such as a driver's license or passport, will be required to receive a badge. Journalists who are foreign nationals may attend only if they possess a permanently- issued NASA media accreditation picture badge from Kennedy Space Center, or a Kennedy-issued white badge with an affixed green dot. Hours of the Kennedy Badging Office located on State Road 405 east of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Journalists needing accreditation should apply online at:
https://media.ksc.nasa.gov
Reporters should call the Kennedy update phone line at 321-867-2525 on Thursday evening to confirm the event date and time have not changed.
Curiosity will use 10 science instruments to investigate whether the selected area inside Gale crater was ever habitable or provided conditions favorable for microbial life. The rover's drill will pull samples from rocks' interiors so other instruments aboard can analyze them for evidence about past environments and the presence of chemical ingredients for life. The rover's payload also includes color cameras, a laser that will analyze rocks from a distance to detect their composition, and sensors that monitor weather, water and high-energy radiation.
Individuals entering the cleanroom where the spacecraft is being prepared for launch must follow procedures for optically sensitive spacecraft. Full cleanroom attire (bunny suits) will be furnished and must be worn. Participants may not wear perfume, cologne or makeup. Long pants and closed-toe shoes must be worn -- no shorts or skirts.
Photographers will need to clean camera equipment under the supervision of contamination-control specialists. All camera equipment must be self-contained. No portable lights are allowed. Non-essential equipment such as suede, leather or vinyl camera bags or other carrying cases must be left outside the cleanroom. No notebook paper, pencils, or conventional pens are permitted. Special pens and cleanroom paper will be provided. No food, tobacco, chewing gum, lighters, matches or pocketknives will be allowed. Use of wireless microphones and cellular telephones is not allowed inside the cleanroom. Electronic flash will be permitted. The lighting in the facility is high-pressure sodium (orange).
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., manages the MSL mission. The launch is managed by NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) at Kennedy. Spokespeople from JPL and LSP will be available for questions and interviews.

Steiner Laboratories - 518625 - 06/21/2017
WARNING LETTER
Steiner Laboratories MARCS-CMS 518625 — June 21, 2017
VIA UNITED PARCEL SERVICE
Gregory G. Steiner, DDS
Recipient Title
Steiner Laboratories
1051 Olsen St. Ste. 3611
Center for Devices and Radiological Health
10903 New Hampshire Ave
Dear Dr. Steiner:
This Warning Letter is to inform you of objectionable conditions observed during the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection conducted at Steiner Biotechnology from December 12, 2016, to December 16, 2016, by an investigator from the FDA San Francisco District Office. This inspection was conducted to determine whether your activities and procedures as sponsor-investigator in the significant risk (SR) clinical studies of (b)(4) and (b)(4) complied with applicable federal regulations. (b)(4) and (b)(4) are devices as that term is defined in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 321(h), because they are intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or function of the body. This letter requests prompt corrective action to address the violations citedand discusses your written response dated January 31, 2017 to the observations on the Form FDA 483.
The inspection was conducted under a program designed to ensure that data and information contained in requests for Investigational Device Exemptions (IDEs), Premarket Approval applications, and Premarket Notification (510(k)) submissions are scientifically valid and accurate. Another objective of the program is to ensure that human subjects are protected from undue hazard or risk during the course of scientific investigations.
Our review of the inspection report prepared by the district office revealed serious violations of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 812 - Investigational Device Exemptions and Part 50 - Protection of Human Subjects, which concern requirements prescribed under section 520(g) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360j(g). At the close of the inspection, the FDA investigator presented an inspectional observations Form FDA 483 for your review and discussed the observations listed on the form with you. The deviations noted on the Form FDA 483, your written response, and our subsequent review of the inspection report, are discussed below:
1. Failure to submit IDE application to the FDA, and obtain approval of the IDE from FDA and an Institutional Review Board (IRB), before allowing subjects to participate in the investigation. [21 CFR 812.20(a)(1) and (a)(2), 21 CFR 812.40, 21 CFR 812.42, and 21 CFR 812.110(a)]
Neither (b)(4) nor (b)(4) has been approved or cleared by the FDA. Although it appears that these devices are both made up of two previously cleared devices, Socket Graft (K113049) and OsseoConduct (K101718),[1] the combination of these devices constituted a significant change or modification that requires new 510(k)s (see 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3)). The change in materials and chemical composition (i.e., different calcium phosphate minerals and particle sizes), for example, could change the resorption profile of the devices, and thus could significantly affect the devices' safety or effectiveness (see 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3)(i)). As such, you were correct in submitting a new 510(k) for each of these devices.
It is our determination that your activities constitute investigations, as defined in 21 CFR 812.3(h), because you were conducting research involving one or more subjects to determine the safety or effectiveness of the devices. Moreover, FDA has determined that the investigations are of SR devices because the devices are implants that present a potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a subject as defined in 21 CFR 812.3(m)(1).
As a sponsor-investigator, defined in 21 CFR 812.3(o), you have responsibilities of being both the sponsor of the investigation who initiates the investigation and the clinical investigator who conducts and monitors the investigation. A sponsor must submit an IDE application for a SR device to the FDA (21 CFR 812.40), and shall not begin an investigation or part of an investigation until an IRB and FDA both have approved the IDE application or supplemental application relating to the investigation or part of an investigation (21 CFR 812.20(a)(1), 812.20(a)(2), and 812.42). As an investigator, you may determine whether or not potential subjects would be interested in participating in an investigation, but shall not allow any subject to participate before obtaining IRB and FDA approval (21 CFR 812.110(a)).
We note that you should be aware of these requirements based on previous communications from FDA. In an e-mail on December 9, 2011, the Office of Device Evaluation (ODE) in FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health informed you that your investigation of the Socket Graft (K113049) was subject to requirements in 21 CFR Part 812. Also, during a teleconference on December 14, 2011, ODE representatives provided further clarification on these requirements.
As you acknowledged in your signed affidavit dated December 16, 2016, and in your written response to the Form FDA-483, you failed to obtain FDA approval of IDE applications and you also failed to obtain IRB approval prior to beginning these investigations. Specific examples of this failure include but are not limited to the following:
a. In your signed affidavit dated December 16, 2016 and in your written response to the Form FDA-483, you stated that you conducted the clinical research without IRB approval, and collected data later submitted to FDA.
b. (b)(4)
c. (b)(4)
Your failure to (b)(4).
Your written response is inadequate. You assert that you did not conduct an investigation and thus "have done nothing that requires regulatory oversight or an IRB." FDA disagrees with that assessment. (b)(4).
To conduct investigations on (b)(4) and/or (b)(4) to determine the safety and effectiveness of these devices, we reiterate that approved IDEs are needed.
2. Failure to maintain accurate, complete, and current records relating to your participation in an investigation. [21 CFR 812.140(a)]
As an investigator, it is your responsibility to maintain accurate, complete and current records relating to your participation in an investigation, including various records of each subject's case history (21 CFR 812.140(a)(3)). You failed to do so. Examples of this failure include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Failure to maintain any protocols for your investigations; and
b. Failure to maintain accurate, complete and current records for your clinical investigations, such as subject enrollment logs and records, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or signed informed consent documents.
In your written response you stated that you "have done nothing that requires regulatory oversight or an IRB." For the reasons discussed above, you are the sponsor-investigator of an investigation and are subject to the regulations that include but are not limited to those cited in this letter.
3. Failure to obtain informed consent in accordance with the regulations regarding the protection of human subjects and failure to adhere to informed consent requirements. [21 CFR 50.27(a), 21 CFR 50.25 and 21 CFR 812.100]
An investigator is responsible for ensuring that informed consent is obtained from each subject using an IRB-approved version of the informed consent document prior to involving the subjects in the clinical investigation in accordance with 21 CFR Part 50 and 21 CFR 812.100. No investigator may involve a human subject in research unless the investigator has obtained legally effective informed consent from the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative (21 CFR 50.20). In addition, an investigator shall document informed consent by the use of a written consent form approved by the IRB and signed and dated by the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative at the time of consent (21 CFR 50.27(a)).
Additionally, the informed consent document must contain all the basic elements in accordance with 21 CFR 50.25. The basic elements that must be included in an informed consent are:
A statement that the study involves research, an explanation of the purposes of the research and the expected duration of the subject's participation, a description of the procedures to be followed, and identification of any procedures which are experimental.
A description of any reasonably foreseeable risks or discomforts to the subject.
A description of any benefits to the subject or to others which may reasonably be expected from the research.
A disclosure of appropriate alternative procedures or courses of treatment, if any, that might be advantageous to the subject.
A statement describing the extent, if any, to which confidentiality of records identifying the subject will be maintained and that notes the possibility that the Food and Drug Administration may inspect the records.
For research involving more than minimal risk, an explanation as to whether any compensation and an explanation as to whether any medical treatments are available if injury occurs and, if so, what they consist of, or where further information may be obtained.
An explanation of whom to contact for answers to pertinent questions about the research and research subjects' rights, and whom to contact in the event of a research-related injury to the subject.
A statement that participation is voluntary, that refusal to participate will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled, and that the subject may discontinue participation at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled.
You are an investigator because you are an individual who is conducting a clinical investigation as defined in 21 CFR 812.3(i). Accordingly, you are responsible for ensuring that informed consent is obtained in accordance with 21 CFR Part 50. You failed to ensure that informed consent was obtained from subjects in accordance with the federal regulations. Examples of this failure include but are not limited to the following:
a. The informed consent document that you used for your clinical research did not contain any of the necessary basic elements of informed consent that are required by 21 CFR 50.25.
b. The informed consent document that you used for your clinical research was not approved by an IRB in accordance with 21 CFR 50.27(a).
Your response states that you will no longer submit histological data as evidence of safety and effectiveness for your regulatory marketing applications. This response is not completely clear to the FDA, but we have concerns to the extent that it suggests you intend to continue to conduct investigations without, among other things, obtaining the requisite IDE approval and without ensuring that informed consent is obtained. Regarding this latter concern, we note that a valid informed consent process ensures that research subjects have a clear understanding of the risks of participation in a research protocol and have sufficient opportunity to make an informed decision on whether or not to participate in the study. The informed consent document you used did not include important information such as the risks associated with the investigational device. Study subjects are required to have this information prior to study enrollment. By failing to properly obtain the subjects' informed consent with the use of a complete, IRB-approved informed consent document before enrolling them in a clinical investigation of your device, you did not adequately protect the rights and safety of those human subjects.
If you intend to conduct FDA-regulated clinical research in the future, proper informed consent must be obtained for all human subjects who participate in the research.
The violations described above are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of problems that may exist with your clinical studies. It is your responsibility as a study sponsor and as a study investigator to ensure compliance with the Act and applicable regulations.
Within 15 working days of receiving this letter, please provide documentation of the corrective and preventative actions that you have taken or will take to correct these violations and to prevent the recurrence of similar violations in current or future studies for which you are the study sponsor and/or clinical investigator. Any submitted corrective action plan must include projected completion dates for each action to be accomplished as well as a plan for monitoring the effectiveness of your corrective actions. Failure to respond to this letter and take appropriate corrective action could result in the FDA taking regulatory action without further notice to you.
Your response should reference "CTS # (b)(4)" and be sent to:
Attention: Sheena Green, MS
Division of Bioresearch Monitoring
Building 66, Room 3520
Silver Spring, Maryland 20993-0002.
A copy of this letter has been sent to FDA's San Francisco District Office. Please send a copy of your response to that office.
The Division of Bioresearch Monitoring has developed introductory training modules in FDA-regulated device clinical research practices, which are available on the FDA website. The modules are for persons involved in FDA-regulated device clinical research activities. These modules are located at the following website address: http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn/.
After you respond to this letter in writing, please contact Bill Riemenschneider at 301-796-9682 or via e-mail at Bill.Riemenschneider@fda.hhs.gov to set up a teleconference to discuss the regulatory aspects of your path forward as a clinical investigator and as a sponsor.

Woman Killed, 3 Injured at Chabad House Shooting
A shooting at a synagogue outside San Diego where worshippers were celebrating the last day of Passover on Saturday left one woman dead and three others injured, authorities said. The suspect has been identified as 19-year-old John Earnest, San Diego County Sheriff William Gore said • Full Story
22nd of Nisan, 5779 - April 27, 2019
A shooting at a synagogue outside San Diego where worshippers were celebrating the last day of Passover on Saturday left one woman dead and three others injured, authorities said. The suspect has been identified as 19-year-old John Earnest, San Diego County Sheriff William Gore said.
Earnest entered Chabad of Poway and opened fire on worshippers, police said. The weapon appeared to be an AR-15 rifle, Gore said.
Gore said an off-duty Border Patrol agent believed to be inside the synagogue shot at the suspect as he fled. The sheriff said the agent didn't hit him but struck his car.
Gore said Earnest is being investigated for a possible role in a nearby mosque arson last month. Earnest did not have a history with police prior to Saturday's shooting.
San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit said the 19-year-old suspect called police to report the shooting and a California Highway Patrol officer heard it on a police scanner, saw the suspect and pulled him over. Nisleit said the suspect got out of his car with his hands up and he was taken into custody without incident.
Witnesses told CBS San Diego affiliate KFMB the suspect showed little emotion as he was taken into custody.
Gore said a woman died from her injuries. A girl and two men are being treated at local hospitals. Gore said they are in stable condition.
Earlier, a source told CBS News that a rabbi was among the people who were shot.
The shooting came exactly six months since a shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue killed 11 people in the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history.
President Trump, on the way to a rally in Wisconsin, said "at the moment it looks like a hate crime." He also tweeted about the off-duty Border Patrol agent who stopped the suspect.
"The Poway I know comes together," Poway Mayor Steve Vaus said at a news conference Saturday. "We always walk with our arms around each other and we will walk through this tragedy with our arms around each other."
The Poway sheriff's department sent out a tweet saying the shooting occurred just before 11:30 a.m. Saturday. According to the Chabad of Poway Facebook page, the synagogue was holding a Passover celebration scheduled for 11:00 a.m.
Officials say San Diego County deputies were called just before 11:30 a.m. Four patients were admitted to Palomar Health Medical Center Hospital around 12:30 p.m., spokesman Derryl Acosta said.
A handful of police cars were parked outside the synagogue in the city of Poway, just over 20 miles north of San Diego. Crime tape surrounded the street in front of the building.
Passover began on April 19 and was ending Saturday.
In Pittsburgh, a truck driver who authorities say expressed hatred of Jews has been charged in the Oct. 27 rampage at the Tree of Life synagogue. He's pleaded not guilty.

Record number of women will serve in Iowa Senate; fewer elected to House
Sunday, Nov 8 2020
Second in a series interpreting the results of Iowa's 2020 state and federal elections.
The non-profit 50-50 in 2020 dissolved early this year after working for a decade to increase women's representation in Iowa politics. Although our state has elected a woman governor, a woman to the U.S. Senate (twice), and will have women representing three of the the four Congressional districts for the next two years, we have a long way to go toward parity in the Iowa legislature.
When lawmakers convene in Des Moines in January, women will make up one-quarter of the Iowa Senate for the first time. However, the number of women serving in the House will drop below one-third of the chamber.
Final look at the 2020 Iowa House landscape, with ratings
Politics watchers from around the country are watching Iowa's U.S. Senate race today, but arguably the battle for the Iowa House is more important for our state's future. Democrats need a net gain of four seats for a majority or three seats for a 50-50 chamber that would block the worst excesses of the Republican trifecta.
The 2020 playing field is even larger than usual, in part because Democrats finally have the resources to compete with Republicans in the battleground House districts.
I enclose below a brief final look at each House district, with the latest voter registration figures (as of November 2), absentee ballot totals (as of November 3), campaign spending by both parties, and recent voting history. This post from early October has more background on each campaign, which influenced my ratings.
Democrats have good prospects to win control of the chamber, with many potential targets. If Republicans cling to a majority, it will probably be with only 51 seats.
Democratic Iowa House candidates report record-breaking fundraising
Tuesday, Oct 20 2020
Democratic activists are highly motivated to take back the Iowa House majority, judging from the latest round of campaign finance reports for legislative candidates.
Iowa has never seen anything like this kind of fundraising for state House races.
28 Iowa House races to watch in 2020, with ratings
Tuesday, Oct 6 2020
It's been too long since Bleeding Heartland took a comprehensive look at the Iowa House landcsape. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to gain control of the chamber, where Republicans have held a 53-47 majority since they stopped ballots from being counted in the closest race from the last election cycle.
Thanks to our state's nonpartisan redistricting system, at least a quarter of the House races could become competitive, and more than a dozen will be targeted by both parties and some outside groups. This post covers 28 House districts that could fall into that category. One or both parties spent significant funds on twenty Iowa House races in 2018.
The playing field has changed somewhat since Bleeding Heartland last reviewed the House landscape in March. A few new contenders have declared; click here for the full list of general election candidates. In addition, some races look less competitive or more competitive now than they did six months ago.
Forthcoming posts will examine themes in television advertising for or against Iowa House candidates and late spending in these campaigns.
Final look at nine Iowa Senate races to watch, with ratings
Few Iowa politics watchers doubt that Democrats will gain ground in the state House today–the only question is how much will the Republican majority shrink.
In contrast, the Iowa Senate landscape could shift in either direction. Republicans now hold 29 seats and are unopposed in Senate district 1, where independent Senator David Johnson is retiring. They are also outspending several Democratic incumbents in districts Donald Trump carried in the last presidential election. Democrats currently hold 20 Senate seats, but they could add to their ranks today, despite a difficult map and a couple of bad breaks over the summer.
Here's how the key races look going into election day, based on voter registration totals, recent voting history, absentee ballot numbers, and where Democratic or Republican leaders have made large expenditures.
GOP outspending Democrats in almost every competitive Iowa Senate race
Saturday, Oct 20 2018
As was the case two years ago, Democratic candidates are at a financial disadvantage in almost all of the Iowa Senate districts both parties are targeting.
The disparity adds another challenge to a party already facing a difficult path to gaining ground in the upper chamber. Republicans currently hold 29 of the 50 Senate seats and are guaranteed to pick up the district independent Senator David Johnson is vacating.

Since the files_upload requires bytes, path I have no clue how to go about it.
I always get this error

2009, ★★½, Comedy
The Hangover (2009, Todd Phillips)
22 January 2010 Andrew Wickliffe	2 Comments
Huh. Either blockbuster comedies are getting better or I'm getting stupider. The Hangover is actually a rather neat narrative–it's kind of like Memento if Memento wasn't like a concept episode of "Miami Vice." There are some questions of the film's sexual politics–apparently going to Vegas and carousing with strippers is okay for certain married men to do, but not others (the more callous the man, the more permissible), but whatever. It's not like there's a joke about physically abusing spouses or anything.
Oh, wait, yeah, there is.
But it's hardly anymore despicable than its peers and it does have that neat narrative structure, kind of like a film noir, only sunny and a gross-out comedy.
I'd heard a lot about Bradley Cooper, but he really doesn't seem like much other than a less creepy, more greasy version of Ralph Fiennes. A more commercial Ralph Fiennes. He's fine and he can get some of the jokes done, but it's Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis who deliver actual laughs. Cooper's role could have been a standout, but he's just not dynamic.
Helms and Galifianakis, while funny, don't exactly deliver a lot of solid acting either (Helms isn't believable as a dentist–he's the "Office" guy, nothing more) and Galifianakis is doing a bit. So, strangely, Heather Graham comes off as the most professional actor in the film. She's utterly fantastic.
Phillips is an okay director. Not sure if he needed Panavision for anything but his ego, but who cares?
Directed by Todd Phillips; written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore; director of photography, Lawrence Sher; edited by Debra Neil-Fisher; music by Christophe Beck; production designer, Bill Brzeski; produced by Phillips and Daniel Goldberg; released by Warner Bros.
Starring Bradley Cooper (Phil), Ed Helms (Stu), Zach Galifianakis (Alan), Heather Graham (Jade), Justin Bartha (Doug), Rachel Harris (Melissa), Mike Epps (Black Doug), Ken Jeong (Mr. Chow), Jeffrey Tambor (Sid) and Mike Tyson as himself.

"Huh. Either blockbuster comedies are getting better or I'm getting stupider." I like this remark, I feel the same way. I recently saw the Hangover and Up in the Air and had some serious laughs in both cases.
I lasted about ten minutes through The Hangover, then shut it off. 🙂

The Mechanic Blu-ray review
The mighty Jason Statham stars in this violent remake of the 70s Charles Bronson movie, The Mechanic. Here's Duncan's review…
By Duncan Bowles | June 5, 2011 |
The love affair between myself, Jason Statham and Lionsgate has been a steady, constant and passionate part of my life now for several years. With Lionsgate handling such UK releases as The Bank Job, Crank: High Voltage, Transporter 3, and currently both Blitz and The Mechanic, it's provided me with many a muscular fix and its loyalty to our home-grown action star should always be acknowledged.
My adoration of the man they call Statham, meanwhile, has been noted at length on this very website, but all that aside, The Mechanic was already an appealing concept, with its hit man theme, promise of action violence, solid support cast in the form of Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland and Tony Goldwyn and all at the helm of one Simon West. West's film career started outstandingly with Con Air, ably followed by The General's Daughter and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, a solid trio that then saw him leave the big screen for the better part of the last decade to work in TV.
Now, at the expense of repeating the words of Simon's cinematic review of The Mechanic, I can't emphasise enough how much we love Con Air. It's not just one of the best Nicolas Cage films, it's one of the greatest action movies ever made and, for me, one of my favourite films of all time. I was blown away when I first saw it at the cinema, permanently putting Simon West on my radar as I loyally followed the start of his career. He even managed to make a decent blockbuster out of the usual computer game-to-movie poisoned chalice, with Tomb Raider (though I may be in a minority with that opinion).
So, with West back to big screen action, directing Statham to punch, shoot and destroy, it's fair to say that my expectations were above average, but thankfully, The Mechanic is great fun.
The most important aspect of the film to point out is that, unlike the constant trickle of action from the triple Statham franchises of The Transporter, Crank and The Expendables, The Mechanic (there's a whole lot of 'The' in his movie titles) is much more of a thriller in its pacing and use of set pieces. This might prove a little disheartening at first, as, after an initial opening that sees submersible Statham, shirtless Statham and an ingeniously comical assassination, all in less than three minutes, the film then gives way to the narrative.
Initially this caused me to have a panicked thought: what if The Stath's search for more grownup action movies, means he's less likely to shoot multiple bad guys to death in the face? Mercifully, the answer was not at all, as The Mechanic wisely chooses the slow burn approach, with the entire last half of the movie devoted to some particularly gruesome and blood-soaked encounters.
Heads and bodies are smashed against walls, stabbed, thrown under moving vehicles, thrown off buildings, rammed by moving vehicles and generally Stathamed to death, in one case, even sexed, though not to death. But I have no doubt that it's an ability he actually possesses. He even provides an instructional voiceover throughout the film on how best to kill people, which is something missing from most people's lives, I'd wager, and made me wonder if there wasn't a potential business plan in making a Jason Statham day to day guide to living.
Fans of Archer can also take glee in The Stath's choice of a black turtleneck for a mission, though the shade of black is unspecified.
The stunts and action are refreshingly grounded and free from the lazy clutches of CGI and noticeably so. I've lost count over the years of how many behind-the-scenes documentaries proudly claim to have avoided using CG, only to have the finished shot either look like it was tampered with, or for me to have assumed it was that way.
It's great to see Simon West back where he belongs, adeptly juggling thrills, humour and performances, utilizing the clever contrast between Statham growling and scowling, against Ben Foster's unhinged angst. The two actors make a fine pairing, as the reluctant character of Arthur Bishop takes an apprentice assassin under his wing, a move which results in the bulk of the film's tension, as Foster's Steve McKenna constantly feels on the verge of self-destruction.
Elsewhere, Tony Goldwyn provides the obligatory (if you live in our home) "He did it!" chorus, as a man who may, or may not, be entirely trustworthy. I do wish Hollywood would stop casting such incredibly notorious screen rotters time after time. If you put Tony Goldwyn in a film with twists and turns, then the audience will be pouring judgement on him from the outset, regardless of his character's merits. If anything, casting should play with stereotypical typecasting. It worked wonders for Christopher Walken in Man On Fire and Sean Bean in Flightplan (even if my brain still suspected them of foul play as the credits rolled and they'd been nothing but lovely throughout).
No doubt, for most people The Mechanic is a three star film, but for me it was a step above. I even quizzed my less Stath-biased other half on the rating it should receive and she agreed whole heartedly.
At ninety-three minutes, it's well worth anyone's time and marks a welcome return to the big screen for Simon West. Here's hoping that West's follow-up, Medallion, which sees him reunited with Con Air stars Nicolas Cage and M.C. Gainey, proves just as entertaining.
The Disc
The Blu-ray transfer looks great and shows every individual hair that makes up Statham's stubble with frightening clarity. The original film grain is still intact too, especially in low light, in keeping with its cinematic quality.
The 5.1 soundtrack punched out with ease, resulting in the volume being lowered at times, especially towards the end of the film, where the action seems to double in explosions and gunfire.
The only features are a handful of the usual deleted and extended scenes and a behind-the-scenes featurette, which is far too short (at just under eight minutes), especially given West's enthusiasm for the film and the great footage of both Statham and Foster throwing themselves down the side of a building. It merely provides a whistle stop glimpse into some of the main stunts that I could've seen plenty more of.
Disc:
The Mechanic is out now on Blu-ray and available from the Den Of Geek Store.

The Great White Northeast: Alpine Touring in Tremblant
Aaron BIble
So, where are you from?" the friendly Canadian says, staring inquisitively at my telemark equipment.
"Colorado," I say.
"So…what brings you to Tremblant then?" he asks with a chuckle.
"Avoiding avalanches," I say. I was also thoroughly enjoying the culture and hospitality, not to mention the exchange rate, that my Canadian neighbors had to offer.
Having spent the last 20 years of my ski bum career planning my days around avalanche safety, I'd come to Quebec because I could tour here without worrying about the dangers of Colorado's big open bowls and terrain traps. It was refreshing to know none of the slopes around me would slide—my biggest worry here in Quebec was whether or not I would freeze to death. So I just kept skinning.
Arriving in the small, tailored resort village of Mont Tremblant almost felt as if I had pulled up in Vail. But no, this is very much Canada, replete with ice skating rinks, sled dogs and world-class Nordic skiing. Long a favorite summer training ground and competition site for U.S. triathletes, Mont Tremblant, nestled in the sprawling winter oasis of the Laurentian Mountains in Quebec, is now making a reputation for itself as an uphill skiing mecca.
That should not sound so odd: The resort's founders fancied themselves uphill skiers—a tradition that dates back to 1938, when Joseph Bondurant Ryan, a wealthy Philadelphian, and his radio personality pal Lowell Thomas, climbed to the summit of 2,871-foot Mont Tremblant using wooden skis and seal-fur skins.
Legend has it that Ryan was so smitten with the views and the golden glow of the sun hitting the mountainside, he decided it was more valuable than the gold ore that lured him to the region, and he vowed to open a ski area with a Euro-style mountain village. A year later, he installed a single-chair lift and broke ground on what would become the first large-scale ski lodge in the area. Apparently having a radio journalist as a ski buddy paid off, as news of the resort spread quickly.
The low-key vibe and good nature of the Canadian tourists and locals who call Mont Tremblant home take the sting out of the fact that the place feels a little bit like a company town, owned and operated by Intrawest with a high-end, car-less village. At least the French signage lends a European flavor to a tiny town featuring high-end hotels, retail and a casino that are only a quarter century old.
Today, the ski hill itself, which is also the highest peak in the Laurentians, boasts 96 groomed trails and 14 lifts spread across 665 acres with 2,100 vert. And while these stats may not sound overwhelming by big-Western-resort standards, the smaller scale makes the resort ideal for touring. The area embraces uphill skiing: Well-marked AT routes wind through the trees around the mountain, and due to the slope angle, the low elevation, and the fact that they get consistent—but not massive—dumps of snow, it stays entirely avalanche free.
The mountain has capitalized on these favorable conditions, gorgeous woodlands, and the growing skimo trend to attract more uphill skiers from the States and beyond. Tremblant's annual Festival Rando Alpine (Alpine Touring Festival) celebrates the high-cardio-output pursuit with three days of organized tours, clinics, races and more. On my visit, we toured up to the rustic Refuge de Trappeurs cabin in the Versant Soleil area of the mountain for an authentic fireside fondue dinner and headlamp descent.
"Tremblant's first intention was to support and regulate the sport, which has steadily been gaining in popularity on-mountain," said Jean-Francois Gour, marketing director of Station Mont Tremblant. "Supporting the practice of alpine touring has in fact drawn a number of new and passionate skiers to Tremblant and led to the creation of the Alpine Touring Festival, which this February will be celebrating its fourth edition."
Need more convincing? An uphill day pass only costs $10 bucks CDN, and once you reach the top, you are welcome to ski down any of the groomed runs and off-piste trees. I recommend heading for the top of the Edge Lift and hitting the gladed and less-skied Sensation Haut routes back down.
Under a backdrop of some of the most breathtaking mountainscapes and alpenglow you'll experience anywhere in the world, the freezing temps also keep the snow in a perpetual, crystalized state, ideal for both up- and down-hill laps. And, as I discovered, it pays to leave your Colorado backcountry snobbery behind and head east to one of the great up-and-coming ski touring destinations in North America.
