Xcorps Action Sports Show #41.) "HAWAIIMANA" - seg2 - The Xcorps goes BIG ALOHA with host Jason Lazo back in Hawaii covering a mix of cool action X fitness events sponsored by mega nutrition maker HAWAIIMANA producer of the HawaiiMana Challenge.
From the start the show goes BIG with wild shots of tow in surfer Garrett McNamara outrunning locomotive waves at Jaws and Teahoopu Tahiti backed by tunes from MOWER. Hang on! The scenes are mellow here too with sweet Oahu island shots of rainbow framed beaches under the waving coconut palms. So Ono!
Jason introduces team HawaiiMana training on the shore and under the water! See their unique method of building strength and lung power using just a big rock! Great UW shots of turtles and fish in their element mixed with irie tunes from reggae Electric Avenue pop master Eddy Grant.
After the break Jason goes from SCUBA to outrigger canoe and then on to the North Shore of Oahu to hang at the Hawaiimana beach crib and some surfing by team members Alisha and Davey Boy Gonsalves, Jason Miller and Oleema Miller.
Then the X cams roll down the beach to V-LAND to catch rising NSSA surf champ Carissa Moore carving and rippin! Jason meets her on the beach for a little interview. She how she gets her training and hear her fun laugh! Then it's back to Garrett towing into another massive thunder tube followed with a smooth exit rolling tight with another Eddy Grant tune - Reparation.
Jason samples some local flavor and crosses the island again to meet with open ocean stand up paddleboard master Aaron Napoleon who leads the Xcams offshore to the turbulent Molokai Channel for a look at this emerging challenging sport! It was a challenge getting these shots in the rolling big waves as Aaron paddled his 15-foot board up and down the deep blue victory at sea swells all captured for our viewers in HD!
Everyone onboard was hanging tight as Aaron paddled the huge water edited with a fresh new music video from San Diego band My American Heart. Nice fit! Jason talks with the HawaiiMana man back at the boat. See what he says about the ride!
The next segment rolls back to the shoreline to catch the voice of Hawaii fitness man Joe Teipel body surfing Sandys beach in style! Jason talks with the waterman about HawaiiMana and the island spirit of Aloha. Cool shots of the famous Halona blowhole going off here too!
The show closes out with Jason back in SCUBA gear and a beach sunset near Diamond Head talking with HawaiiMana girl Kristin Austin doing some Yoga moves. Just another day in paradise for those who join The Xcorps!
Stay tuned for more fun in the sun future episodes covering training for the HawaiiMana Fitness Challenge in Hawaii. See http://hawaiimana.com/ for more.

http://www.a3film.com - This big-screen adaptation of Land of the Lost stars Will Ferrell as Dr. Rick Marshall, a quantum paleontologist who has been discredited in the scientific world due to his strident belief in time travel as the cure for all of humanity's problems. After hitting an all-time low, giving a lecture to elementary school kids, Dr. Marshall meets an ambitious young scientist named Holly (Anna Friel), who tells him she has followed all his work and believes he's a genius. Spurred on by her enthusiasm, he finishes building the device that will allow him to time travel -- something he promptly does along with Holly, and white-trash fireworks salesman Will (Danny McBride), after Will leads them into a cave that seems like a promising place to test the new machine. They end up in a world full of dinosaurs, sand, and scary lizard-like creatures known as Sleestacks. They quickly lose the machine that brought them to this alternate universe, and if they ever want to return home, the trio must recover it with the help of Chaka (Jorma Taccone), the monkey-like friend they make in this strange place. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Xcorps Action Sports Show #45.)"SKATEPIPE"-seg4- The Xcorps HD shoot crew led by on host Jason Lazo rolled into the small southern California town of Upland to meet pool skate legend Steve Alba AKA Salba at the Pipeline skate park- home and roots to some of the best Vert skaters on the planet- for the next episode of Xcorps to be called SKATEPIPE.
This next XC show will feature Steve Alba ripping the Upland Pipe on his board along with many other talented locals catching massive air off the 20-foot tall 360-degree concrete tube. The Pipe is part of 10,000 sq. foot Skate Park, which opened to the public in 2002 and was designed by Steve Alba and California Skate parks Purkiss Rose.
One of the coolest skate zones we have shot, the Upland park is a holy zone modeled after the original Upland skate park of the 1970s-which was modeled after the original Baldy Flood Control Pipe- and contains all aspects of bank/vert skating starting with a mini-ramp take off ledge rolling into a phat metal coped half-pipe leading into a 20 foot full-pipe and ending in a deep swimming pool size vert bowl. YiKes!
Its a smooth fast speed zone and its not for beginners! Skate wheels sing there like banshee devil dogs and bone crunching freefalls happen easy! Xcorps cams captured some great action including shots from a POV cam attached to Salbas helmet. The Xcorps shoot crew-included network Emmy winner Dave Alvarez and producer Sundarajan also snagging HD shot action.
Xcorps host Jason Lazo talked with Steve Alba who lives in Upland about the killer park he helped design and his past and present career in the world of skateboarding. Jason also spoke to other skaters including a hot chick looping the tube and some ripper groms going full overhead! What will they morph into!??
Also in this episode is cool video footage of Steve Alba jamming with his band in a local So Cal club. Nice custom soundtrack to the action from Steve. Great new music videos from RIVE promotions and Suburban Noize Records rolls the action in this special Xcorps show.
Rounding out the shots in this episode will be some never before televised 16mm B&W film footage shot at a Pocatello Idaho Skatepark in 1980 by XC producer Stu Edmondson. Who knew they were skating in Idaho back then never mind a skate park!

Terra Madre è un progetto concepito da Slow Food, frutto del suo percorso di crescita e che oggi ha il suo fulcro nella convinzione che “mangiare è un atto agricolo e produrre è un atto gastronomico”. Da sempre Slow Food si è schierato per i piaceri della tavola e il buon cibo e ha difeso le culture locali di fronte alla crescente omogeneizzazione imposta dalle logiche cosiddette moderne di produzione, distribuzione ed economia di scala. Ed è proprio seguendo fino in fondo queste logiche che Slow Food si è reso conto di quanto fosse necessario proteggere e sostenere i piccoli produttori, ma anche cambiare il sistema che li danneggia, mettendo insieme gli attori che hanno potere decisionale: consumatori, istituti di formazione, chef e cuochi, enti di ricerca agricola, organizzazioni non governative... Divenne evidente che si poteva avere un impatto significativo solo moltiplicando e cumulando azioni locali che seguissero una visione-guida globale.
Così è nata Terra Madre: per dare voce e visibilità ai contadini, pescatori e allevatori che popolano il nostro mondo. Per aumentare, nelle comunità dei produttori e nell’opinione pubblica, la consapevolezza di quanto è prezioso il loro lavoro. Per dare ai produttori qualche arma in più per continuare a lavorare in condizioni migliori, per il bene di tutti noi e del pianeta. Per queste ragioni, costruire una rete mondiale – che disponesse di strumenti di condivisione delle informazioni e che offrisse la possibilità di imparare dalle esperienze altrui e di collaborare con gli altri – è sembrato fondamentale. Il nostro obiettivo è continuare ad avere terre fertili, dove germoglino e crescano piante e animali adatti a quei particolari ambienti, piuttosto che dopati con sostanze chimiche che li fanno fruttare o ingrassare artificialmente. Il nostro obiettivo è continuare ad avere persone che custodiscono terre, saperi e cibi che hanno il gusto della nostra infanzia.
La rete di Terra Madre è stata lanciata nella riunione inaugurale del 2004 a Torino. Quel primo incontro ha radunato 5000 produttori da 130 paesi e ha attirato – come mai prima di allora – l’attenzione dei media sulle loro problematiche. La seconda edizione dell’incontro internazionale si è tenuta nel 2006 e ha coinvolto anche 1000 cuochi – dai più celebri ai più semplici –, tutti profondamente consapevoli delle responsabilità nei confronti dei produttori di qualità. Nel 2006 hanno partecipato alla riunione generale anche 400 ricercatori e accademici, nel tentativo di riavvicinare la teoria alle buone pratiche.
Un progetto così ambizioso non si sarebbe mai potuto realizzare senza il contributo di un gruppo di sostenitori molto motivati. Slow Food ha mobilitato istituzioni pubbliche, enti locali, regionali e nazionali per formare insieme la Fondazione Terra Madre. L’associazione ha anche favorito partnership con compagnie private e reti solidali, alcune delle quali si sono costituite appositamente per l’evento.
Terra Madre is a project conceived by Slow Food, the philosophy of which evolved over the the organization’s history and crystallized at its realization that “eating is an agricultural act and producing is a gastronomic act.” Slow Food had always stood for the pleasures of the table, for the importance of good-tasting food, and for the defense of cultures facing growing homogenization as a result of today’s so-called modern rationales regarding production, distribution, and economies of scale. It was where these “rationales” were leading that brought Slow Food to realize the need to protect and support small producers, and to change the systems that put them in danger by bringing together those players with decision-making power: consumers, educational institutions, chefs and cooks, agricultural research entities, NGOs, etc. It became clear that it is only through repeated, cumulative, local action, following a guiding global vision, that a significant impact can be achieved.
Thus Terra Madre was born: To give voice and visibility to the rural food producers who populate our world. To raise their awareness, as well as that of the population at large, of the value of their work. To sustain their ability to work under the best conditions, for all of our good and for the good of the planet. For these reasons, constructing a global network—with information-sharing tools, the means to learn from each other, and opportunities for collaboration in many ways—seemed invaluable. We must continue to have fertile lands, lands on which sprout and grow plants and animals appropriate to those environments, rather than needing to be pumped full of chemicals to make them thrive artificially. And we must also continue to have the people capable of stewarding these lands, to have their know-how, so we can have food that still carries the tastes of our youth.
The inaugural gathering of Terra Madre launched the network in 2004 in Torino, and was on an unprecedented scale. This first edition brought together 5000 producers from 130 countries and shone global media attention on their crisis. The second edition was in 2006, and incorporated an additional 1000 cooks, from renowned to modest, but all aware of their role relative to high-quality food producers. Also in attendance were 400 researchers and academics, seeking to bridge the theory of their work with hands-on practice.
A project of this scope could never have come into being without a dedicated core of partners. Slow Food rallied public institutions as well as local, regional, and national bodies to collectively form the Terra Madre Foundation, further partnering with private companies and numerous like-minded networks, some of which were established specially for the event.

Vision. Leadership. Expertise. Monster.
Who the hell is running things anyway? Is he man or beast, machine or god? Toronto, New York, London, Tokyo – BUSINESS AS USUAL invites you along for a psychotic ride through the financial power capitals of the world. Described as an art-film version of ‘The Corporation’, BUSINESS AS USUAL presents unusual representations through a more than usual character; the generic businessman. Gestures were filmed in front of stock exchange buildings in TORONTO (TSX), NEW YORK (NYSE), LONDON (FTSE) AND TOKYO (TSE) and edited as a collage-in-motion, combining location, gesture and image manipulation.
BUSINESS AS USUAL reveals the grotesquely human nature of the executive citizen and questions the threatening prevalence of global economic markets as the new world culture. (Less)

Xcorps Action Sports Show #5.) "PAINTBALL" - seg.4 The X Corps team meets at one of the largest paint ball compounds on the west coast - Mr. Paintball - to duel hard with opponents from team Vengeance in this adrenalized war games episode. Paintball is an action sport growing faster than snowboarding and is statistically safer than golf and in various forms has become part of X sports scene. The game is popular for its high adrenaline levels and can be played indoors or out though it requires one to be physically fit and mentally sharp to compete with success and not get marked.
X Corps players Roslyn, Jason, Eric and Bob gear up with PMI Piranha paintball markers and a "Don't Tread On U.S." attitude. Squad leader and pro player 'Achilles' leads the way through various combat environments from tree covered hills and trenches to room to room urban duals all powered by fresh tunes from Maverick records including a cool song by the Paul Oakenfold-Ice Cube duo.
Hear the semi-automatics pop with welts raised on X Corps players and opponents in scenes with Bob Woodard rushing an enemy truck, Eric Ducharme taking friendly fire, Jason Lazo as urban guerilla and Roslyn Bradle getting captured and slammed in jail. Feel what an ambush feels like in a training exercise massacre scene shown in slow motion involving compound Special Forces players. The horror!
Also on this show is a new video from the Maverick records band Prodigy performing 'Babys Got a Temper'. Got milk? Then XC hosts Roslyn and Jason test ride the cool new Big Boy Scooters in Santa Monica Ca. See the new V-5 full suspension 55 cc 4-stroke model perform in a race between the XC hosts. These units fold easily into a car trunk and are a blast to ride! See www.bigboyscooters.com.
The show wraps with a coming soon preview and some sick helicam footage from the Long Beach to Catalina speed H2o races. This XC episode is an American original. WhooAAAhhh!!!
This show is kicked with music from The Rolling Stones and Dr. Dre, Paul Oakenfold and Ice Cube, Prodigy, Deftones, Carla Werner and Perry Farrell.

Audio-visual installation in English, German and Japanese ASAGAO-PREVIEW.
An artist's text spoken by three women's voices in three different languages leads through a digital composition about a certain relation between the human being and nature (as a gigantic force) in a mechanized world. The artist shows the human being as an alienated and remote-controlled figure that strolls through shopping malls and finds itself exposed to nature and a world, based on urban areas - traffic - mass medias. The human body starts to float, losing individualism and independence...
