Marilyn Manson Threatens To Sue Denny's Restaurants After They 'Allowed' Him To Be Assaulted While Dining There
Posted on April 15, 2015 by Bob The Empire News Potato
ALBERTA, BC, Canada –
Marilyn Manson, the shock-rocker known for his outlandish stage shows and dark and brooding songs and lyrics, was recently assaulted at an Alberta, Canada Denny's restaurant by another patron. According to reports from the assailant, Manson had made rude comments about the man's girlfriend, and he punched him after Manson allegedly called her a 'bitch.' According to Manson's management, that's not how the altercation started.
Manson's manager claims that Manson was posing for pictures in the restaurant after a late-night concert, when the assailant 'came out of nowhere' and punched him in the face. Police reports say that at least three people were involved in the incident, but no one was charged. Manson's manager said that Manson plans on pressing charges against his attacker, but it appears now he is taking it further.
"I'm going to sue the shit out of that Denny's," said Manson during a morning radio interview in Alberta. "If I had been anywhere else, like a hotel or a private club, and someone tried to swing on me, security would have stepped in and beat his ass. At Denny's, they're too busy fucking up the drunk at the next table's order of Moons Over My Hammy and refilling my shitty coffee to worry about stopping a famous celebrity from getting punched in the face. It's ridiculous."
Manson was reportedly not seriously injured in the altercation, but is seeking heavy damages.
"Damn right they deserve to pay, I could have been seriously hurt or killed. I'm not as young and spry as I used to be, and I bruise easily in my old age. The guy who hit me, he'll get his turn in court, too, but Denny's – I'm coming for you, and all your breakfast money."
A spokesperson for Denny's corporate attorneys, George Omlet and Richard Egg, could not be reached for comment. Lawyers for Manson say they think he has a "strong case."

Google Programmers Admit They 'Don't Know Celebrities', Can't Tell Difference Between Marilyn Manson, Shia 'Labuff'
Posted on February 10, 2015 by Bob The Empire News Potato
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California –
After sharp-eyed Google users began posting thousands of comments onto the company's social media pages about a curious result to the search query "How Old Is Marilyn Manson," Google finally admitted to the fact that they have "no knowledge" of celebrities, and that they don't care to learn, either.
"Apparently, when searching for information on Marilyn Manson, users were greeted with a picture of Shia LeBuff…Labof. Of the Transformers kid," said Google programmer Myles Jones. "To be frank, we don't have the slightest idea who either of those people are, really. I seriously had to Google who Shia Labowf…Shia Lebeef…ugh, whatever – I had to Google him before I was even able to make this response. We at Google work hard to do things right, but pop culture? Celebrities? We just can't be bothered."
According to users on Reddit, people searching for information on Marilyn Manson, specifically his birthday, were given an answer by Google with the correct month, day, and year – but with a picture of actor Shia LaBeouf where an image of the 'Beautiful People' singer should have been.
"I thought it was a gag or something," said Reddit user IPFreely69. "I laughed my ass off. Then I posted it to the web as a gag 'conspiracy' – Is Marilyn Manson and Shia LeBeouf The Same Person?!, and people jumped all over it, and then all over Google. Now I'm hearing that Google, the biggest search engine and most-trafficked website in the world, doesn't know a thing about celebrities. So, I'm wondering if they really know a thing about anything. How do I know that any information they get for me is accurate?"
"We strive to make sure that all our user's searches end with the correct information, or at least lead somewhere where the correct information can be found," said Jones. "Whether it be searches for cat videos, searches for buying a new big screen TV, or searches for buying a new big set of titties, there's a lot of really complicated algorithms and programming that goes into a massive search engine. We're just a group of nerds working our asses off to make the site work. To be honest, should we really know who Shia Labuford…Shia Laroux? Shiaaa…aww, shit. Should we really have to know who Marilyn Manson is?"
Google says that they are working to fix the error made by their software team, and they don't believe any specific programmer or developer maliciously swapped information or images in their search queries.

Shock-Rocker Marilyn Manson Reveals He Was Adopted, Says Nicolas Cage Is Biological Brother
Posted on January 31, 2015 by Raoul Stockton
HOLLYWOOD, California –
During a shockingly candid fact-filled interview on WEMP-FM radio in Smithdale, Caifornia, 46-year-old shock-rock superstar and part-time actor Marilyn Manson, aka Brian Hugh Warner, revealed to host Metal Mike Monroe that he was adopted at the age of two from August and Joy Coppola, who are the parents of actor Nicolas Cage (born Nicolas Coppola) also making him the nephew of legendary movie director Francis Ford Coppola.
Manson shared personal and intimate details behind the adoption.
"There was just too much talent in the family. August Ford Coppola, my biological father, was a professor of literature, and my biological mother, Joy, was a highly regarded and respected dancer and choreographer. Nick was five years older than me, and already was showing the ability and talent of a gifted actor by the time I was born," Manson explained.
Nicolas Cage changed his last name from Coppola to Cage at an early age to avoid the appearance of nepotism, being that his uncle Francis Ford Coppola was already a legend in the Hollywood circuit.
Manson said that he became an uncontrollably evil, girl-crazed hellion when he was in his terrible-twos, and the Coppolas simply could not contain his wild streak.
"The day I turned two-years-old, my parents threw a party for me and I had got into the fridge and got one of August's beers, and before anyone noticed, I drank the whole thing, then ran around the house ripping the diapers off of all the other toddlers at the party. All the other the parents watched the scene in shocked horror," Manson stated. "So eventually I was adopted by the Warner family, and kept away from society most of my childhood due to my inappropriate youthful behavior – which I never grew out of by the way."

NFL Announces Rock 'Supergroup' Forming To Play Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show
Posted on October 21, 2014 by skullman
GLENDALE , Arizona –
Super Bowl XLVIII is already a distant memory for NFL fans, and talks of next year's halftime show started hitting the circuit months ago. With The Big Game to be held in just a few short months, rumors and excitement have grown over the announcement of the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Super Bowl XLIX is scheduled for play at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona at the beginning of 2015. Normally the halftime shows at the games feature a performance by a well-known rock 'n' roll or pop singer or group of performers. This year, the NFL has decided to go all-out, and bring in some of the biggest names in the history of music for a halftime show that could never possibly be topped.
"We honestly wanted to wait for the big S.B. 50," said Melanie Aster, director of entertainment for the NFL. "After considering it though, we knew we just had to get all these performers together as soon as possible. It is highly likely some of them may be dead by next year, so we can't take any chances."
So far, the NFL has announced that the "supergroup" will consist of Roger Daltry of The Who, rapper Eminem, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, rapper Big-Boi, country music stars Garth Brooks and Wynona Judd, pop band Fall Out Boy, metal act Killswitch Engage, white-boy rapper Marky Mark, industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, Ice Cube, shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, Keith Partridge of the Partridge Family Singers, up-and-coming rapper Hopsin, Faith Hill, 90s grunge rockers Blind Melon, Johnny Bravo from The Brady Bunch, and the New York Philharmonic.
The lineup is the most impressive one that the NFL has ever had for a halftime show, and they are extremely happy that they were able to get all the artists on board for the performance.
"It was so amazing that we were able to get this great group of performers together and they've all agreed to go out there and rock our 49th halftime show!" said Aster during a recent conversation with reporters and fans.
When asked if she was aware that some of these artists no longer perform, and that at least one is a fictional character, Aster had little to say on the matter.
"All I can say to you is that all of these people have signed on the dotted line, and the ink is definitely dry. We may even have some more surprises the night of game!"
When pressed for details, Aster had little to say, although she did elude to the fact that spectators should be on the lookout for possible wardrobe malfunctions.
"I'm not naming any names, but let's all just keep an eye on Marky Mark, okay?" Aster said, laughing.
Super Bowl XLIX will be broadcast live on NBC at the beginning of 2015.

Arizona twins reunite with EvergreenHealth maternal-fetal medicine specialist
Health system remains only provider of life-saving procedure in Pacific Northwest
Friday, July 28, 2017 2:34pm
Sisters Dakota and Alexia Neal are alive today thanks to a specialized treatment their mother received at EvergreenHealth more than a decade ago while she was 19 weeks pregnant with the identical twins. Recently, the Arizona-based family traveled back to Kirkland to introduce the girls to the doctor that saved their lives 11 years ago.
In August 2005, Aaron and Kara Neal of Phoenix, Ariz., were eagerly expecting twin daughters when a routine doctor's visit revealed a troubling complication – Stage 2 Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a potentially life-threatening condition for both fetuses. At that time, only one hospital on the entire West Coast offered a procedure that could save not just one, but both twins: Kirkland-based EvergreenHealth.
EvergreenHealth's maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. Martin Walker was one of just a handful of physicians in the country with specialized training in the treatment of TTTS, which can occur when identical twin fetuses receive unequal amounts of the shared placenta's blood supply – often leaving one twin at risk of dehydration and anemia, and the other at risk of congestive heart failure due to volume overload.
Three days after the diagnosis, Aaron and Kara traveled to EvergreenHealth to receive laser photocoagulation treatment, an in-utero surgical treatment that uses laser energy to close the surface-level blood vessels of the placenta so that the fetuses' blood is no longer shared.
The procedure was a success, and Dakota and Alexia were born in December 2005 at 35 weeks, weighing 3.5 and 5.2 pounds respectively.
"It's a very serious diagnosis, and requires immediate intervention in order to save at least one of the fetuses," Dr. Walker described. "If TTTS is not treated, both twins have an 80 to 100 percent chance of dying. I'm thankful that the Neal family sought treatment so quickly after their diagnosis and that our team was able to save both of their daughters."
Kara was Dr. Walker's 50th patient to receive the life-saving laser treatment; today, he has performed the procedure for over 500 patients. EvergreenHealth remains the only health care system in the state of Washington—and across the Pacific Northwest— to offer laser photocoagulation for TTTS. Patients continue come to EvergreenHealth from across the country to seek treatment from the Kirkland-based maternal-fetal medicine team.
"My family and I are so grateful we found Dr. Walker and that our girls are thriving," said Aaron. "Being able to meet the doctor who saved their lives was very exciting for Dakota and Alexia. Since they both love science, they were really intrigued to hear about how the procedure works, too. The reunion couldn't have gone any better."
"EvergreenHealth is proud to be home to one of the most advanced maternal-fetal medicine teams in the country," said Bob Malte, CEO of EvergreenHealth. "From prenatal consultation and genetic counseling, to TTTS treatment and fetal therapy, our experts are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of expecting families and their babies. We are so grateful for patients like the Neals, whose personal connections with providers remain strong for many years after."

Q: Generate form elements based on type, with overrides With a few applications I'm building, I could use the ability to generate dynamic forms for filling in arbitrary lists of variables. For example, when running a Lua script that reads in an arbitrary file format, the script may need unique information to decode that format (e.g. separating character for a CSV). Essentially, I want something similar to Unity's inspector.
I have a HashMap that maps a Class to a Handler:
private interface Handler {
    Control handle(GridPane grid, Integer row);
}

private static final HashMap<Class, Handler> FormInputs =
        new HashMap<Class, Handler>() {
    {
        // String
        put(String.class, (grid, row) -> CreateStringInput(grid, row));

        // Integer
        put(int.class, (grid, row) -> CreateIntegerInput(grid, row));
        put(Integer.class, (grid, row) -> CreateIntegerInput(grid, row));

        // Float
        put(float.class, (grid, row) -> CreateFloatInput(grid, row));

        // Directory
        put(Path.class, (grid, row) -> CreateFileInput(grid, row));
        put(File.class, (grid, row) -> CreateFileInput(grid, row));

    }
};

When the form is created, it uses getFields() to get the list of fields from the passed Class, and when the form is constructed, it creates a simple GridPane and fills it with labels and controls.
In theory, this should work fine, but I noticed with the Path class that the class does not always line up with its intended use. A Path may point to a file or a directory, which require different settings for the browsing dialog. Similarly, a String may be used for any number of things, and may need certain validation.
What would be the most friendly approach for overriding the type check and explicitly stating which form input to use? I looked into using Decorators, but those seem to be for extending existing functions of the decorated object, whereas I want to imbue them with extra information.
edit: For further context, I would like to be able to do things like Unity's [Range()] decorator, whereby numeric classes become represented by a slider between the min and max values.
edit 2: To clarify and simplify: The Form class generates an automatic form based on a class. For example, passing it the following class
public class TestClass {
    public boolean bool1;
    public Boolean bool2;
    public String string1;
    public String string2;
    public Integer int1;
    public int int2;
    public Path path1;
    public File file1;
}

results in the following form:

I want to be able to indicate, in the class, which fields should be handled differently. Ideally I also want this to work by passing in an array of mixed variables, and I want to be able to define a custom schema, like can be done with Unity and custom inspectors.

A: The best method I have come up with involves a bit of rearranging. It only works automatically for custom classes, but it allows for some customisation after initialisation.
First, write a public interface for custom classes to implement that allows them to define a custom list of controls:
public interface FormLayout {
    List<Input> getLayout();
}

Then, in the constructor, instead of initialising a list of fields, check if the object defines its own layout:
public Form (Object objRef) {
    Field[] fields = objRef.getClass().getFields();
    if(objRef instanceof Form.FormLayout) {
        inputs = ((FormLayout) objRef).getLayout();
    }
    else {
        inputs = new ArrayList<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) {
            inputs.add(new Input(fields[i].getName(), FormInputs.get(fields[i].getType())));
        }
    }
}

Now you have a list of defined inputs that can be manipulated before constructing the form, and the ability to define a custom layout for a class.
Further work will need to be done to handle associating an input with a field so the user input actually makes its way to the right variable, but this seems to be the most reasonable approach.

In this tutorial you will learn how to connect and control an LED on a Raspberry Pi development board using a variety of programming languages. Detailed versions of all source code used in this tutorial are available on GitHub for your reference.
A light emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when energized and comes in an assortment of different colors. It is similar to a light bulb, but is much smaller and consumes much less power. LEDs are typically used as indicator lights in consumer electronics.
A solderless breadboard will be used to assemble the electronic circuit. These breadboards allow hobbyists to construct circuits without having to permanently (for the most part) attach your electronic components or having to deal with soldering them together. If you are not familiar with solderless breadboards, please refer to How to Use a Breadboard and Build a LED Circuit for additional information.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is the official source for all things Raspberry Pi and is a great resource for buying and learning about the Raspberry Pi. Their Help section is a good place to start if you are new to the Raspberry Pi platform. There you will find helpful guides and documentation to help you get started in setting up and configuring your new Raspberry Pi. I recommend you take a look if you haven't already.
Since the Raspberry Pi is an actual small computer running its own operating system, you can either attach your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse and use it like a simple desktop computer, or alternatively, you can remotely connect to it across a network using a secure shell command like ssh. I connect with my Raspberry Pi over a network. If you are interested in connecting yours over a network, please see the SSH documentation page for instructions.
The Raspberry Pi provides a 40 pin General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) header that contains a multitude of different interfaces and power supplies for connecting external circuitry, including Serial, I2C, SPI, and of course general purpose digital input/output pins just to name a few. Please note that all digital pins are rated at 3.3 V, versus some other boards that use 5 V like the Arduino Uno, so use caution in making sure your external circuits are designed to be operated at 3.3 V.
The programs shown here may be a little longer than some of the other "blink" like programs you may have encountered around the internet, but I want to make sure that we are following good practice and not just the most simplest. Specifically, the programs within this tutorial use loops to repeatedly turn on and off an LED with a delay in between to make an LED blink and are terminated by pressing CTRL-C on the keyboard. This action is known as a signal interrupt, and when a program is terminated in this fashion, it can create an unknown state for the board's GPIO and cause accidental damage to the board if circuits are changed or disturbed in some way while in this unstable state. I will be using constructs to catch this signal interrupt so that we may place the GPIO in a known stable state before exiting the programs.
My development board is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running the Raspbian operating system. If you are using a different model of the Raspberry Pi or a different Linux based OS that is similar to Raspbian, the vast majority of this tutorial should still apply, however, some minor changes may be necessary.
Before continuing with this tutorial, make sure your Raspberry Pi is setup and running to your satisfaction according to the getting started documentation in the Help section of the Raspberry Pi Foundation website.
Before building the circuit and connecting it to the Raspberry Pi, make sure your Raspberry Pi is shut down and disconnected from power in order to avoid accidental damage to the board during wiring. Shutting down the computer can be accomplished from the desktop (running as a stand alone computer) by selecting Raspberry > Shutdown from the main menu. If you are connected remotely over a network, use the following command within a terminal window to shut down the Raspberry Pi. Prefixing a command with sudo will run the subsequent command as a privileged user and may require a password. If a password is requested, raspberry is typically the default password for the pi user. The % symbol shown is the command line prompt character, that should not be typed, and yours may look different.
Attach the red LED to the solderless breadboard by connecting one end of the LED to one of the breadboard's terminal strips and the other end to an adjacent terminal strip. The terminal strips are the horizontal rows of terminals grouped together in sets of 5 in the center of the board. The anode (positive terminal) of an LED is longer than the cathode (negative terminal). Connect one end of the 330 Ω resistor to the terminal strip containing the LED's anode and the other end of the resistor to an empty adjacent terminal strip.
Next we will connect the LED and resistor circuit to the Raspberry Pi board. Attach the male end of a jumper wire to the breadboard's terminal strip containing the open end of the resistor. Attach the female end of the jumper wire to pin 40 (commonly referred to as GPIO21) on the Raspberry Pi GPIO header. With the Raspberry Pi oriented such that the GPIO header spans across the top of the board, this is the last pin furthest to the right on the top row.
Attach the male end of another jumper wire to the terminal strip containing the open end (cathode) of the LED on the breadboard. Attach the female end of this second jumper wire to pin 39 (GND) located in the second row of the GPIO header just below pin 40 we connected to previously. Once completed, your circuit should look like the one shown below.
The circuit is complete so you can now connect power to the Raspberry Pi and boot it up.
WiringPi is a popular C/C++ GPIO interface library for the Raspberry Pi. It also includes the gpio command line utility used to control the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins from the command line or even from within shell scripts. WiringPi does not come preinstalled on Raspbian, so we will need to install it first.
Open a new terminal window on the Raspberry Pi. If you are running in desktop mode, run the LXTerminal application whose icon (contains >_) should be visible in the main menu of your desktop. If connecting remotely across a network, login via a secure shell as shown on the SSH documentation page.
Run the following command in your terminal window to install WiringPi. The % symbol shown is the command line prompt character, that should not be typed, and yours may look different.
commands that can be typed directly on the command line within a terminal window. The pinout command comes preinstalled with Raspbian, but does not show WiringPi pin numbers, and the gpio command was just installed as part of WiringPi and shows all 3 pin numbering schemes.
Whew! With all of that out of the way, let's see if we can get our LED working. Once WiringPi is installed, we can configure pin 29 (WiringPi) to act as an output in order to "drive" our LED. This is done with the mode command of the gpio utility and tells the Raspberry Pi to configure that particular pin as an output. If for some reason you do not have permissions to access the GPIO pins, the sudo command may be required when running the gpio command.
and turn off the LED with the following command.
and also look at the gpio utility specific help on the WiringPi website for more detailed usage information. There are also options to tell the gpio utility to use BCM (-g) or Physical (-1) pin numbering schemes if you so choose.
Before we end this section, we should reset the LED pin back to an input (its default state). To do this, we use the same mode command we used earlier, but specify pin 29 as an input this time.
RPi.GPIO is a popular Python GPIO interface library for the Raspberry Pi. The Python language and the RPi.GPIO library come preinstalled on Raspbian.
Open your favorite text editor and save the following Python program as blink_rpigpio.py.
print "\nCompleted cleanup of GPIO resources."
Lines 1-2 import the libraries we are using in our program. The time library contains a sleep function we use to add delays between turning on and off our LED.
Line 4 defines a variable named redLED that is used throughout our program to refer to pin 21 using the BCM numbering scheme. This makes it much easier to understand what is being controlled when our programs grow much larger and multiple pins are being utilized.
Lines 6-7 set up our GPIO pins to use the BCM numbering scheme along with setting the redLED pin to be an output.
Lines 10-15 are the main portion of our program that turn on and off our LED with a half second delay in between that loops forever.
Lines 17-19 define a finally clause that when used with the while loop in the try clause, will reset all GPIO pins back to their default (input) states and exit the program when CTRL-C is pressed on the keyboard.
Now that our program is written, let's run it with the following command. The % symbol shown is the command line prompt character, that should not be typed, and yours may look different.
You should now see the LED in your circuit blinking. If for some reason you do not have permissions to access the GPIO pins, the sudo command may be required when running the python executable to run our blink_rpigpio.py program. After we have marveled at our new creation and are ready to exit the program, press CTRL-C on the keyboard to terminate it.
GPIO Zero is another Python GPIO interface library for the Raspberry Pi that comes preinstalled on Raspbian. It works a little differently than the RPi.GPIO library used in the previous section because it defines functions for specific components, such as LEDs or buttons, instead of controlling the GPIO pins generically as is done by the RPi.GPIO library.
Open your favorite text editor and save the following Python program as blink_gpiozero.py.
Like in the previous section, lines 1-2 import our libraries, however, we are using a different importing construct than we used before. This time we are only importing the portions of the libraries we are actually using.
Line 4 defines our redLED variable using the special LED() construct of the GPIO Zero library that allows us to control pin 21 with operations that make sense for an LED.
Lines 7-12 turn on and off our LED similar to what we did in the previous section, but this time it is more obvious that we are turning on and off our LED.
Lines 14-16 contain our finally clause to clean up after ourselves and exit the program when CTRL-C is pressed. The RPi.GPIO library we used previously contained a function that we used to reset all GPIOs back to their default input state. The GPIO Zero library does not have such a function so we need to close all used GPIO resources ourself, in this case, the redLED.
Run the program and press CTRL-C when you want to exit.
The C programming language comes preinstalled on Raspbian, however, the WiringPi library does not, but we installed it in the Using The Command Line With WiringPi section above.
Open your favorite text editor and save the following C program as blink.c.
Lines 1-3 load the various libraries we are using, including the WiringPi library.
Line 5 defines a constant named redLED that is used throughout our program to refer to pin 29 using the WiringPi numbering scheme. This makes it much easier to understand what is being controlled when our programs grow much larger and multiple pins are being utilized.
When exiting the program we want to reset all GPIO pins to their default (input) state in order to avoid any accidental damage to the pins. Unlike the Python programs we created earlier, C does not have a simple way to detect when CTRL-C is pressed on the keyboard to exit our program, so we have to create our own. Since exiting a program with CTRL-C is considered a software interrupt signal, this can be accomplished by creating our own signal interrupt handler.
Line 6 defines a signal_received global variable that is used in conjunction with our signal interrupt handler.
Lines 8-10 define a signal interrupt handler function that gets called when CTRL-C is pressed on the keyboard and sets the signal_received variable to the interrupt signal received.
Lines 12-26 define our main() function, which in C, includes the root level instructions that are run when we execute our program.
Line 13 enables our signal interrupt handler for use.
Line 14 initializes the WiringPi library for use. The program will terminate at this point if an error is encountered.
Line 15 sets the redLED pin to act as an output so that we may control our LED.
Line 17 creates a while loop that runs until the signal_received variable is no longer 0, that is set when CTRL-C is pressed on the keyboard.
Lines 18-21 turn on and off the redLED pin with a half second delay in between.
Line 23 resets the GPIO resources used in the program. In our case, we only used the redLED pin, so we need to set it back to an input before exiting.
Line 25 exits the main() function and returns the interrupt signal detected with our signal interrupt handler.
If you are familiar with programming on the Arduino platform, you may notice the similarity of the WiringPi pinMode() and digitalWrite() functions. In fact, WiringPi was actually modeled after the Arduino wiring system.
that compiles the blink.c C source code into the blink executable (-o) while also linking the WiringPi library to the executable (-l) and notifying us of any warnings or errors that may have occurred (-W) during compilation. The % symbol shown is the command line prompt character, that should not be typed, and yours may look different.
Once we have compiled our program, we can run it with the following command. The extra ./ in front of the executable name ensures that you are running the blink program located in your current directory.
You should now see the LED in your circuit blinking. If for some reason you do not have permissions to access the GPIO pins, the sudo command may be required when running the blink program. Once your ready to exit the program, press CTRL-C on the keyboard to terminate it.
We will continue using the WiringPi library from the previous section, but this time we will use the C++ programming language that also comes preinstalled on Raspbian.
but let's modify it to incorporate the more typical C++ constructs. The highlighted lines in the code listing below are the only differences between the C and C++ programs.
and run it. Please note that this will overwrite the blink executable created in C unless you compile to a different directory or use a different executable name.
Don't forget to press CTRL-C when your done.
SwiftyGPIO is a popular Swift GPIO interface library for the Raspberry Pi. Both the Swift language and the SwiftyGPIO library do not come preinstalled on Raspbian, so some installation is required. Also, if you are new to Swift, check out our Hello World: Writing Your First Swift Program tutorial, specifically the Swift On Other Platforms and Using The Swift Package Manager sections as we will be using them here. Note that this last section will be slightly different than what we need here due to the different versions of Swift being used.
If you have not yet installed Swift on your Raspberry Pi, please see this post by Umberto Raimondi that will walk you through the process along with providing some additional information about the state of Swift on Raspberry Pi.
Let's get started by creating our BlinkSwift project with the Swift Package Manager (SPM). The % symbol shown is the command line prompt character, that should not be typed, and yours may look different.
Edit and save the Package.swift file located in the current directory with your favorite text editor to add the SwiftyGPIO library dependency so that it looks like the following.
Then we need to fetch the new library with the following command.
Lines 1-2 load the various libraries we are using, including the SwiftyGPIO library.
When exiting the program we want to reset all GPIO pins to their default (input) state in order to avoid any accidental damage to the pins. Since exiting a program with CTRL-C is considered a software interrupt signal, this can be accomplished by creating our own signal interrupt handler.
Line 4 defines a signalReceived global variable that is used in conjunction with our signal interrupt handler.
Line 6 initializes the SwiftyGPIO library for use with the Raspberry Pi.
Lines 7-9 define a constant named redLED that is used throughout our program to refer to pin 21 using the BCM numbering scheme and terminates the program if an error occurred. Referring to redLED, instead of gpio[GPIOName.P21], makes it much easier to understand what is being controlled when our programs grow much larger and multiple pins are being utilized.
Line 10 sets the redLED pin to act as an output so that we may control our LED.
Lines 12-14 define a signal interrupt handler function that gets called when CTRL-C is pressed on the keyboard and sets the signalReceived variable to the interrupt signal received.
Line 17 creates a while loop that runs until the signalReceived variable is no longer 0, that is set when CTRL-C is pressed on the keyboard.
Line 25 exits the program and returns the interrupt signal detected with our signal interrupt handler.
that compiles the main.swift Swift source code along with the SwiftyGPIO library and then links the library into the BlinkSwift executable.
Once we have compiled our program, that is stored in the .build/debug directory, we can run it with the following command.
You should now see the LED in your circuit blinking. If for some reason you do not have permissions to access the GPIO pins, the sudo command may be required when running the BlinkSwift program. Once your ready to exit the program, press CTRL-C on the keyboard to terminate it.
Before disconnecting the breadboard from your Raspberry Pi or altering the circuit in any way, it is always a good idea to shutdown the Raspberry Pi and disconnect it from power in order to avoid accidental damage to the board or circuitry. It never hurts to be extra cautious, right?
If you are working from the desktop (stand alone computer), select Raspberry > Shutdown from the main menu. If you are connected remotely over a network, use the following command.
Once the Raspberry Pi has successfully shut down, you can safely disconnect power from the board.
and write various programs using the following different languages and libraries to make the LED blink.

Q: ASP.Net dropdownlist lost selectedvalue if data added with jquery I have a scenario where I have added options in dropdownlist by Jquery.
When I do submit the form then at code behind I am not getting the selected value of the dropdownlist which I bounded through JQuery.
Please help!

A: In ASP.NET (and all other server-side languages), if you make changes to elements to the HTML on the client using client-side scripting (such as javascript/jQuery), those changes will only be sent back to the server if they are in form elements (such as <input>, <select>, <textarea>).
If you add things via jQuery, then you must record that fact in one of the controls that will be posted back to the server, and then on the server you must react to that fact and rebuild the dropdown.

The Killing of America (1981) Review
Posted by Luke Kent on Oct 16, 2016 Oct 27, 2016
A pre-credit warning tells us that what we're about to see is all real, and that none of it has been staged. Because no, you really can't make up stories like this.
In 1981, two filmmakers (Sheldon Renan and Leonard Schrader) made a documentary focussing on the escalating levels of gun crime, violence and murder in the United States. But despite the importance of the subject matter to a nation reeling from years of bloodshed, it never saw the light of day in America through a commercial release. Instead, the shock doc has lived on in infamy thanks to releases in Britain and Japan. Now, 35 years on, its Blu-ray debut is just around the corner in the UK and – for the first time ever – in the USA. Better late than never.
I find it both baffling and understandable that this collection of grim, no holds barred tales of the real life macabre hasn't been widely seen, particularly in America. Baffling in that it's as applicable today as it was back when initially released, with violent crime rates still startlingly high. But understandable because whilst seeing these crimes on a graph is one thing, watching footage of the crimes first hand is quite something else. Which is what The Killing of America features most prominently. Death, destruction, detailed accounts of terrible acts, and stark, horrifying imagery. It's not for those with a weak stomach.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Though it's dated in its storytelling devices, and even restored it visually shows its age, important historical events such as those shown tend to speak for themselves. The series of murders witnessed over the film's duration are retold through a mixture of footage from newsreels, interviews, and amateur recordings, with narrator Chuck Riley loosely filling in the blanks. Whether motivated by hatred, racism, fanaticism or otherwise, each felony is linked by violence, and that's the through-line which the film viscerally forges ahead with. But it's questionable as to whether it has any further substance or depth to offer. Compared to Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine (2002), for example, which discusses the same subject matter, it's a bit one note. But what it does discuss, and what it does show, will stay with you for a long while.
John Lennon once told us: "All you need is love". It's Lennon's lessons that The Killing of America leaves us with. And it's those lessons which we've collectively failed to learn. That a 35-year-old documentary about violence and murder can still be so relevant in the present day is both impressive and terrifying.
Rating (out of 5):
The Killing of America is released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 31st, courtesy of Severin Films.

It's too bad this isn't available in the US. This would make a great gut punch of a double feature with Ava DuVernay's The 13th.
Hearing great things about The 13th!
So I've had another dig around and it appears that it is actually finally going be getting a US release (unfortunately not mentioned in the UK press information):

I imagine around the same date as the UK Blu-ray re-release, which is October 24th 😊

The FAL Files > Discussion Forums > General Non-Firearms Discussion > Supressor questions.
View Full Version : Supressor questions.
When you have a supressor attached to a rifle, lets use .308 as an example, does the supressor overheat or start to malfunction the more you shoot through it? Can you sustain any rate of fire without problems or do you have to let it cool off? I think I remember reading about a new silencer a few years ago that was for 9mm and it stated that you had to put some grease or water in it after 15 rounds or so, I guess this was called a wet can. Do you do the same for a .308 or is this a totally different animal? How quiet can you get a .308 with standard ammo? Must you use heavy bullet slow loads for best supressor performance?
Last, how are supressors attached these days? Still screw on, or do they have quick detach types available?
the suppressors for rifles are made with stainless steel baffles. thy have no problems with performance as they heat up but you wouln't want to wrap your hand around after putting a fresh mag through it. pistol suppressors on the other hand are made with Aluminum baffles which are cheaper to make but can't withstand the high pressures of rifles. thus, you can't interchange.
th wet cans you are thinking of are still available but are typically used for pistols. the muzzle blast from a rifle would make for quite a mess. the artifical environment (wet) cans are more effective b/c they cool/slow the gasses more than air. the same way a water cooled motorcycle runs cooler than an air cooled bike. the thing with the wet cans is that they are only good for a few shots before refilling. kinda a moot point when discussing rifle suppressors.
as stated before, you will still have th crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. it won't be hollywood quiet, but you could shoot without earplugs and do minimal damage to your hearing.
there is a company producing subsonic .308. that in combination with a bolt action (no gas escaping through the chamber when cycling) would make for a pretty quiet gun.
as for attaching. threading is the most common way, but three lug attaching is available. with that you only rotate 1/3 turn.
also as stated, you'd need to get a pre-ban b/c it's considered a flash hider. you could do a bolt gun which the ban doesn't apply to.
it's quite an investment, so you may want to listen to a few before choosing. also, be sure you can get the chief law enforcment sign off before getting too far in the process.
hope this help. if you ned help finding a dealer in your area, feel free to e-mail me.
edit: i would suggest picking up the latst copy of Small Arms Review. The whole issue is dedicated to suppressors.
Thanks so much for the reply. I was actually thinking of doing this to a post ban M1A which would be legal since it lacks a pistol grip but already has a flashider.

Ospreys can be seen soaring effortlessly above the island.
The lighthouse was replaced by an automated light on Little Fitzroy Island in 1973.
The isolation of Fitzroy Island has led to an unusual situation—reptiles have become the predominant predators instead of mammals. The yellow-spotted monitor Varanus panoptes, one of the largest predators on the island at 1.2m long, hunts mammals, birds, eggs and lizards. Another reptile commonly seen on the island is the major skink Egernia frerei. This sleek, bronze-brown lizard can grow to 39cm long. Major skinks feed on insects and plants and can be found among large boulders and logs alongside the walking tracks. Many smaller skinks are also found on Fitzroy Island—look for the closed-litter rainbow skink Carlia longipes, a shiny, light-brown skink with black shoulders and red sides, scurrying among the leaf litter or sunning itself on a rock.
Several species of snakes occur on Fitzroy Island, but none are known to be dangerous to humans. You might see a carpet python Morelia spilota, spotted python Antaresia maculosa or slaty-grey snake Stegonotus cucullatus. Two species of tree snake—brown Boiga irregularis and northern Dendrelaphis calligastra—are also common on the island.
There are few mammal species on the island—eastern dusky leaf-nosed bat Hipposideros ater aruensis, small swift bats, can be seen at dusk near the lights, chasing insects for food. Small native rodents called melomys Melomys sp. are also active at night.
Pied imperial-pigeon Ducula bicolor migrate from New Guinea to nest and feed in the rainforest during the summer fruiting season.
Another migrant, the buff-breasted paradise-kingfisher Tanysiptera sylvia, arrives in early November for the summer. It can be seen feeding on small lizards and snails that it catches by pouncing from a perch in mid-level branches in the rainforest.
Fallen fruits and seeds become food for emerald doves Chalcophaps indica. These solitary birds with bright green wings can sometimes be seen fossicking on the forest floor.
Flashing white against the green of the forest, sulphur-crested cockatoos Cacatua galerita feedson forest seeds, nuts and fruits. Raucous screeches ring out across the forest as sentinels birds warn the feeding flock of intruders.
Large mounds of decaying leaf litter and soil found in the forest may be the handiwork of orange-footed scrubfowls Megapodius reinwardt, a brown, ground-dwelling bird the size of a chicken. The mound is built by a breeding pair to provide a warm, safe nest for incubating their eggs. By day scrubfowls may be seen scratching around in the leaf litter on the forest floor for food such as fallen fruits, seeds, insects and snails.
Ospreys Pandion haliaetus can be seen soaring effortlessly above the island with their typical flap-flap-flap-glide motion. The glide can suddenly become a swoop as the osprey dives into the water, emerging with a fish gripped in its sharp talons.
A variety of plant communities can be found on Fitzroy Island. Heaths and open woodlands of eucalypt, acacia and turpentine trees cover the exposed slopes and spurs on the island. Rainforest grows in the damp valleys and mangroves line the creeks. Coastal plants tolerant of salt spray and low nutrients, such as casuarinas and pandanus palms, fringe the beaches.
The making of an island
Part of the granite mountain chain along the coast, the island was once connected to the mainland by a grassy plain. This was submerged as the sea level rose some 6000 years ago and the mountain we know as Fitzroy became an island.
In 1770, Lieutenant (later Captain) James Cook named the island Fitzroy after the family name of the Duke of Grafton, who was Prime Minister of England at the time the HMB Endeavour sailed. The point on the mainland opposite (Djilibiri) was also named Cape Grafton in his honour.
From the early 1800s Fitzroy Island was visited by pearling and surveying vessels irregularly until, in the late 1800s, a beche-de-mer (sea cucumber) industry operated from the island. Sea cucumbers were collected and prepared for the Asian food market.
In 1876, a quarantine station was established on Fitzroy Island for Chinese 'coolies' en route to the Palmer River Goldfields. Conditions were poor and starvation, sickness and death were common. Many coolies were buried on the island but the location of most of the graves is unknown.
In the early 1900s Fitzroy Island became part of the Anglican Aboriginal mission established at Yarrabah and was used to grow bananas, pawpaw, potatoes and cassava. Memories of family separations, attempted runaways, farming the island's vegetable gardens and attending the coral church are kept alive by the old people of Yarrabah today. The Menmuny Museum at Yarrabah contains displays about the island's mission days.
Over the years several ships were wrecked on the reefs near Fitzroy Island. The first navigation light, a carbide gaslight, was placed on Little Fitzroy Island in 1923. In 1943, a lighthouse was built on Fitzroy Island providing an important navigational service especially for wartime shipping. The remains of this lighthouse can be seen on the Summit walking track. This lighthouse was replaced by the existing light on Little Fitzroy Island in 1973. The cottages (circa 1960) were home to the lighthouse keepers until the light was changed to an automatic system in 1991. Another change saw the lighthouse function replaced by an automatic solar/battery-operated light on Little Fitzroy Island in 1992.
The lighthouse on the main island today stands on what was once the site of a radar station, established in 1942. The Number 28 Radar Station, along with coastal artillery gun emplacements on Cape Grafton, served to protect Grafton Passage. Both were disbanded and removed at the end of the World War II.
The lighthouse and lighthouse cottages are part of the national park.

Usually it offers really been noticed how the weather conditions alterations plus weaves abruptly. It can be continually a great indication to be become all set for what could comply with and also as a result we ought to be using the preventative steps earlier rather than thinking of eleventh hour actions. What with international warming up influencing the planet, unexpectedly the chilly generally seems to have actually smacked almost everywhere around the globe and also people throughout the planet are camouflaging.
Amid one of the more typical as well as favored safety measures that the entire world is thinking of are electric eco heating units that appears to have basically considered the warmth away from the international heating up feeling and also provide people who have the most efficient in warming up services in these days day time. Electric eco heaters ensure that you obtain the correct type of warmth in the area in addition to however on the exact same time make certain that it can do not discharge any sort of harmful radiations which may produce long term damages to the health and wellness. It is one of the large plus elements of this sort of home heating unit in order to supply comfortable area temperatures level with minimum hazards to health and wellness.
These space eco heat s electric powered heaters are easily among one of the more feasible home heating choices available close to, just since they are cellular, light, along with damn very simple to protect. It is amongst the trademarks of this type of warming model which makes it very easy to use, in addition to at the exact same time, assists it conserve trustworthy space heat levels without having the location. Numerous electric powered heating units take care of the process of convection, which aids in distributing out of the ambiance in your community with an also keel.
The electrical area heating device not just is mobile phone enjoyable, however also is offered in an array of shapes and sizes that can suit in line with the calls for of the region sizing and also breadth. For this reason it is a much more protect as well as more affordable decision to choose electrical eco heating units, plus with the very same time appreciate high quality that is certainly unrivaled in the event it concerns selections for heating your neighborhood the correct approaches. You need to be warned regarding what dimension from the home heating system to choose, so concerning suit the needs that you want, because they moreover operate on energy, as well as the even more you protect the resources, the far better will definitely end up being the outcomes for yourself.
Virtually all power heating units are the types which work with electric powered poles, which acquire warmed up the second you connect them in and also therefore dissipate cozy atmosphere during the entire place that you desire warmed up. It is among the most normal concept that heating units adhere to inside the in this article and from now on day which's why they are a lot far more looked for. Furthermore, you can find convection heating units, which work on the thought of dissipating heat through the room according to the extensive temperatures levels that's constant in the area. The supreme solution to pick 1 as outlined by your requirements can be your individual. So be wise once you create the alternative.


Los Angeles County officials voted today to spend roughly $300 million on a major redesign of its voting system in anticipation of the 2020 presidential election, even as an independent consultant investigates a glitch in the existing process that led to nearly 120,000 voters being left off polling place rosters last week.
"While not a panacea for all issues and concerns, ... this new voting model and the systems that support it will significantly reduce the likelihood of error and disruption in the voting process and will increase our ability to appropriately and quickly triage such occurrences," Logan said.
The snafu affected the voter rolls at 1,530 of the 4,357 precinct locations. A total of 118,522 voters' names — roughly 2 percent of registered voters — were omitted from the lists, according to the county.
Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas took a moment to remind Logan that people don't like the idea of provisional ballots.

Is your water balanced? Don't know? Bring us a sample, and we can help you!
Make sure your filters are clean before your party. If they are several years old, it's time to replace them.
While there is no perfect temperature across the board, for most people, a temperature range of 100°F-102°F is good for a hot tub soak. While 104°F is the standard maximum temperature, it is probably too hot for your hot tub party.
If you have pregnant guests, make sure they talk to their physician before getting in a hot tub.
Set out plenty of non-alcoholic drinks such as juices, smoothies, sodas and bottled water.
It's a good idea to save the alcohol for after the hot tub soaking. First, you don't want glass bottles anywhere near the hot tub, and your guests will feel the affects of the alcohol much sooner if they are also sitting in hot water.
Make or buy your favorite Super Bowl snacks. If you're partying outside or in an outdoor room, keep the snacks to finger food. This makes it easier for your guests to eat.
Make your guests feel more comfortable with plush, cozy towels. Have extras for everyone – this helps for guests who are getting in and out of the tub.
The game of the year is a festive occasion and calls for a large television and great speakers. In addition, consider adding some candles or hanging lights for a great atmosphere.
Now it's time to sit back and relax. Enjoy the game, the half-time show and your friends and family!

Today's Cocopotamus Santa's Addiction ("a.k.a. Christmas everyday") peppermint fudge truffles (from NYDC Chocolate, LLC, Albuquerque, NM) were coated with white peppermint sugar, making it "a real snowball."
Dark chocolate fudgey centers were bursting with just the right amount of natural tasting peppermint.
I think Santa would approve of these individually wrapped, festive holiday truffles, from a company that knows how to have fun. Ho ho ho indeed. And, fortunately for me, I bought these before they were sold out at SweetE Organic (Mill Valley, CA).

Explainable AI-based physical theory for advanced materials design
by Tokyo University of Science

Through this model, the team could visualize magnetic domain images effectively and were successful in the inverse designing of nanostructures with low energy requirements.

Microscopic materials analysis is essential to achieve desirable performance in next-generation nanoelectronic devices, such as low power consumption and high speeds. However, the magnetic materials involved in such devices often exhibit incredibly complex interactions between nanostructures and magnetic domains. This, in turn, makes functional design challenging.
Traditionally, researchers have performed a visual analysis of the microscopic image data. However, this often makes the interpretation of such data qualitative and highly subjective. What is lacking is a causal analysis of the mechanisms underlying the complex interactions in nanoscale magnetic materials.
In a recent breakthrough published in Scientific Reports, a team of researchers led by Prof. Masato Kotsugi from Tokyo University of Science, Japan succeeded in automating the interpretation of the microscopic image data. They achieved this using an "extended Landau free energy model" that they developed using a combination of topology, data science, and free energy.
The model illustrated the physical mechanism as well as the critical location of the magnetic effect, and proposed an optimal structure for a nanodevice. The model used physics-based features to draw energy landscapes in the information space, which could be applied to understand the complex interactions at the nanoscales in a wide variety of materials.

"Conventional analysis are based on a visual inspection of microscope images, and the relationships with the material function are expressed only qualitatively, which is a major bottleneck for material design. Our extended Landau free energy model enables us to identify the physical origin and location of the complex phenomena within these materials. This approach overcomes the explainability problem faced by deep learning, which in a way amounts to reinventing new physical laws," Prof. Kotsugi explains.
When designing the model, the team made use of the state-of-art technique in the fields of topology and data science to extend the Landau free energy model. This led to a model that enabled a causal analysis of the magnetization reversal in nanomagnets. The team then carried out an automated identification of the physical origin and visualization of the original magnetic domain images.
Their results indicated that the demagnetization energy near a defect gives rise to a magnetic effect, which is responsible for the "pinning phenomenon." Further, the team was able to visualize the spatial concentration of energy barriers, a feat that had not been achieved until now. Finally, the team proposed a topologically inverse design of recording devices and nanostructures with low power consumption.
Scientists from TUS have succeeded in visualizing slight changes in microscopic images and understanding the mechanisms that have been difficult to analyze visually. Furthermore, they have succeeded in inverse designing nanostructures with low energy consumption. Credit: Masato Kotsugi from Tokyo University of Science, Japan.
The model proposed in this study is expected to contribute to a wide range of applications in the development of spintronic devices, quantum information technology, and Web 3.
"Our proposed model opens up new possibilities for optimization of magnetic properties for material engineering. The extended method will finally allow us to clarify 'why' and 'where' the function of a material is expressed. The analysis of material functions, which used to rely on visual inspection, can now be quantified to make precise functional design possible," concludes Prof. Kotsugi.

Wood: Less focus on price means more options, innovation
Home Inside FCNews Wood: Less focus on price means more options, innovation
Feb. 17/24 2014, Volume 27/number 21
By Ken Ryan
(Second of two parts)
More than ever, hardwood floors are making a distinctive statement. Featuring wider widths, longer lengths, tremendous graining and color variations, today's hardwood floors are very much a fashion product.
Numerous hardwood suppliers exhibited their latest, trendy products at Surfaces 2014, looking to seize this market opportunity with eager-to-buy consumers.
Today's consumers are savvier than those of years past, and more willing to take risks with their purchases, according to Laurie Sanfilippo, marketing manager at Ark Floors. Therefore, suppliers like Ark are striving to be more "adventurous" with products that excite consumers and allow dealers to make money. At Surfaces, Ark exhibited five new products including Padauk chestnut, an engineered product in the company's Artistic Collection of distressed, handscraped, wider-width planks that range from 4 3⁄4 to 6 1⁄2 inches wide. Booth goers were shown classic American looks as well as exotic species in a mix of solid and engineered constructions. The company also touted its new French Collection that features a sculpted, distressed surface texture and wider width planks.
Sanfilippo said today's younger consumers are drawn to a product's design and may not be as concerned with its source or how much it costs, as long as they are happy with it. "There are people who are going to want to buy U.S., and that is not going to be our market. Our market is people who will want to buy something beautiful—meaning above entry-level exotics."
Bamboo Hardwoods' signature product at the show was a strand-woven, handscraped bamboo from the Hybrid line, which is created by combining strands of bamboo into an organic pattern and then compressing them under significant pressure. The result is an extremely dense and hard floor with superior resistance to denting.
David Keegan, COO, said dealers can make 30% to 35% profit on Hybrid. "This is no commodity bamboo product. Finally people are not looking at price point, they are looking at aesthetics. Consumers love the look of this bamboo and it is not out of their budgets. Plus, retailers can make good money on it."
Boen Hardwood Flooring
Wider widths and longer planks are all the rage in hardwood these days, and few companies go wider or longer than Boen Hardwood Flooring. Its new engineered line, with boards 12 to 15 inches wide and 86 inches long, come with a floating Välinge click system. "The hardest part is properly displaying these SKUs because some retailers don't have room for them in their showrooms," said Dennis Hrusa, managing director at Boen.
Taking a different approach than it has at past Surfaces, CFS decided to install new products in its show space. "By doing so, it makes the room look so much bigger," said Phillip Key, vice president of sales and marketing of CFS.
One product that stood out was a 9⁄16-inch handscraped engineered Asian walnut (acacia) with distinctive graining and chisel techniques. Hand-rubbed stains provide depth to the grain, and because each plank is individually scraped by hand there is a distinction between them, meaning no two are alike.
In addition to this unique visual, CFS is also trying to win over dealers with a one-price story for its new lineup. "I'm a sales guy and I like it easy," Key said. "With one price point, it's an easy story for dealers to tell."
Coswick, which specializes in traditional hardwood flooring and European-style floors, made its debut at Surfaces in hopes of meeting with distributors, part one in a plan to establish a network. The company showed distributors a brushed oak and country oak collection, among others.
The Belarus-based company's European-style products are available in a two-layer tongue and groove construction.
"We're strong in Eastern Europe and No. 1 in the Persian Gulf," said Vladimir Ianovski, president. Coswick also has a market presence in Switzerland, France and Germany. "It's time to grow in the U.S.," he said. "We see good signs here."
Coswick recently earned Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody certification. The scope of certification includes the entire range of the company's products—solid and engineered, wood wall panels and all moldings.
DuChateau Floors
The manufacturer of wide-plank hardwood flooring (standard sizes are 9½ inches wide by 8 feet long and 5⁄8 inch thick) is in the early stages of extending its successful Atelier Series of luxury flooring, which was developed exclusively by Tom Goddijin, the company's master craftsman. Goddijin, who experiments with traditional processing methods to achieve unique flooring styles, is moving his practice from Holland to San Diego, which will allow DuChateau to bring its products to the U.S. market much quicker—an average of four to six weeks, according to Scott Petersen, director of operations.
DuChateau also disclosed it has partnered with home furnishings supplier Somerset Bay Home to launch a European oak flooring line to match 10 signature Somerset Bay Home colors.
Home Legend downsized its booth from 5,400 square feet to a 1,600-square-foot space divided into separate 800-square-foot areas. The company's introductions included a new acacia line offered in 5¼ inch widths.
The new offerings are also available in birch and Brazilian cherry and come in three constructions: HDF click-lock, engineered tongue and groove, and solid tongue and groove. "You can classify it as a good, better, best [program]," said Jamann Stepp, vice president of sales.
Many hardwood flooring companies talk about their sustainable practices, but Horizon took the movement one step further by constructing its booth—for which the company won a Best of Surfaces award (see story on page 1)—out of reclaimed timbers and railroad trestles from an abandoned Ohio rail yard.
"It's all about first impressions and the 'wow' factor," said Alex Shaoulpour, president of Horizon, speaking about both the booth and its new products.
Horizon's product launches were Villa Tuscana Cambridge Estate, Ferno and Saddle Creek. "The overwhelming positive response from our distributors confirm these styles are the newest trends for 2014 and a perfect fit for their markets, which inspires us to develop innovative floors every day."
Horizon's products feature an open grain finish that allows floors to live and breathe in a healthy home environment. The natural oils penetrate through the wood pores to enhance the look and create a durable, long-lasting floor.
"We develop products [our customers] can make money on," Shaoulpour concluded. "For us, our customers' success is our success."
Korus Wood Flooring
Korus, which announced at Surfaces its entry into the residential market, is known for its acrylic impregnated hardwood flooring. This specific type of product is made from natural wood that is infused with acrylic resin to create a stronger, tougher floor.
Korus' engineered construction uses five plies of marine-grade Baltic birch, glued with marine-grade adhesive, and topped with a 1⁄10 inch-thick acrylic impregnated real wood wearlayer.
The company is launching 54 SKUs, including a reclaimed oak hardwood it believes will appeal to dealers looking for differentiation. "We have a lot of colors and wood species working together," said Jason Brubaker, director of sales and marketing.
Korus reported that its representatives met with a number of prospective customers at Surfaces. As an incentive, the company gave away 50 retail displays as part of its residential kickoff, which Brubaker said was a successful promotion.
Bill Friend, a vice president and co-owner of Strategis International, which oversees the Trillium brand, said the company tried to do "too many things" with wood in the past. So it is now focusing on what it does best: strand-woven bamboo. "We want to be the bamboo guys in the U.S.," he said.
At Surfaces, Trillium showcased Manhattan Grey, a wire-brushed bamboo that Friend said could generate significant margin for retailers looking for a differentiated offering. "Flooring used to be a boring product," he said. "Twenty years ago, you had two [wood] choices: maple and oak. Today you have so many options it's become a fashion product. I think bamboo could very easily be 10% of wood, and there's margin dollars there for dealers."
WE Cork
WE Cork displayed its Serenity Collection of cork flooring with a high definition, three-pass, digital print technology that reproduces the essence of wood or tile on a cork substrate. The floor is finished with the company's patented Hot Coating, giving it an oil-like, satin luster.
The digital print technology allows for customized visuals such as blue jeans or cobblestone, both of which were installed at the booth. "Dealers were overwhelmingly positive; they love the unlimited commercial applications," said Ann Wicander, president of WE Cork.
