racing dreams

2010-06-22T18:36:00.003-04:00

RACING DREAMS is the award winning coming-of-age story about three kids who dream of one day racing in NASCAR.

Academy Award® nominated documentary filmmaker, Marshall Curry, takes us into the lives of Annabeth (11 years old), Josh (12), and Brandon (13) as they compete for the championship in the World Karting Association’s National Series — widely considered the Little League for professional racing.

Clocking speeds of up to 70 mph, these young drivers race their way through the year-long National Series that spawned many of NASCAR’s top drivers.

And at the same time, they navigate the treacherous road between childhood and young adulthood.

In intimate moments of young love and family struggle, this exciting and often humorous story has been fondly described as “part Catcher in the Rye, part Talledega Nights.”

2010-06-12T09:00:00.003-04:00

Richie Stefanacci fell in love with inlining at the young age of 6 and while many would have preferred to deny him the joy of inlining, opting instead more traditional sports – he would have none of that. From cement skate parks to indoor parks to Woodward and ultimately to the streets of Philly Richie expressed himself best through inlining, plus snowboarding and surfing.

At a young age he mastered the front flip – over rotated once at Camp Woodward resulting in a crack of his front tooth. Later he mastered the back flip and went on to 360 and grinding. Along the way he met some great inliners – not only great in talent but spirit. Inliners like Stu and Adam took in a kid and taught him all they knew about skating and life during his years at Woodward.

It was this knowledge and spirit that helped him through his 394 challenging days battling Ewing Sarcoma. Ultimately, Richie passed away at the very young age of 14 on June 12th 2007 surrounded by family and friends. But not before assuring that his cancer did not deny him the opportunity of snowboarding and inlining on a few more fantastic runs with family and friends.

Richie was all about denying other people’s unfair rules – denying the rule against inline skating in some places – denying the belief that people with cancer should stop living – Of course the reason people have these ridiculous rules is their false beliefs – they truly do not KNOW the truth – that is why we were so taken with the Denial Clothing philosophy especially their ‘know’ campaign – because once you know about inline skating and especially about Richie Stefanacci there can be no denial of the truth.

We know that through all of Richie’s family and friends especially the ones at Denial that we will some day realize a time when there is NO pediatric cancer. So kids like Richie can inline freely anywhere that their spirits take them and for this there can be no denial……. Mr. Stefanacci

I saw broken social scene live tonight and what can i say.... pretty awesome. They were a guest on the radio/online show Qtv so it wasn't a full show. Just 4 songs and a couple interviews peppered around some other guests (could have done without the guests but what can you do) but i have to say, the performance was pretty on point. This was my first full BSS experience (i've seen them before but not the full core band) and yeah, amazing. That is one full-sounding band! I've always wondered if they needed that many people performing at once. Like 2 bass players? Really? But you canNOT question that sound. Ammmaaazing. If you get a chance, check out the album. Not a bad show either. Jian's a solid host. You can check out the podcasts here.

the anatomy of a nod

2009-12-01T12:10:00.000-05:00

By Michael Hippchen
April 9, 2009

What's in a nod?

Is it a friendly hello? A non-verbal "Hi! How are ya?" Sometimes, yes.

Not just nods however, what's in a wave? Or a point? Or a wink? Nonverbal communication is very common these days, especially on bustling college campuses where there are literally thousands of people in a small concentrated area at any given time.

When I'm walking around campus, I'll see a buddy from across the hall and seek him out like it's a football route: five steps slant right, skinny Z-Post in for the handshake. Nice and firm, grip with the thumbs wait for an even brake-off point. Simple, yet complicated at the same time. Often, this handshake is accompanied with a "What's going on?" or the less interested "Good to see ya."

On the complicated hierarchy of nonverbal touches and body movements, the handshake is one of the more serious and committed. Let us now examine a few members of the hierarchy and what each non-verbal act means to the general public.

The Upward Nod. A chin-to-the-air neck jerk complimented by a slight squint of both eyes. This popular nonverbal gesture is usually done from far distances; for example, while one is at a large social gathering or walking in a large congregated area, like a college campus, an upward nod will be given and received. An upward nod characterizes respectability...to a point. It basically means, "I like enough to acknowledge your existence, but not enough to walk all the hell the way over to where you are standing to actually say hello." An upward nod is not a bad thing; if it had to be one or other it would be a good thing, basically equivalent of someone yelling, "What's up?"

The Downward Nod. A chin dip that requires darting eyes to remain in contact with the now different-level receiver. Downward nods are usually not a great thing. They basically imply, "I don't really like you, but I know who you are, so now I have to acknowledge your existence." It's a minimal amount of movement that elicits a minimal response. From my own personal experiences, I usually give a downward nod to people I know that I am not crazy about, but know that they have no problem with me. I figure if it's an enemy, I'll get no non-verbal movement whatsoever and an abrupt about-face turn to avoid any contact or view whatsoever. Beware the downward nod; giving them are almost as bad as receiving them.

The High-Five. Dude, cool. A high-five is an honorable action that includes fun at the same time. Loud noises (slap!) accompanied by a crisp, quick extension of the arm to the highest point in the air possible is always fun. A high-five is usually a non-verbal gesture that means, "Dude, you are awesome, so awesome in fact that you deserve a high-five." High-fives are also reserved for acknowledgements of great achievement, for example, "Dude you just ate four Big Macs in 20 minutes! High-Five!" Granted, the achievement has to be cool, i.e. binge eating, throwing down a slam-dunk, break-dancing. High-fives are almost always a positive action and one of the more enthusiastic forms of nonverbal communication.

The Point. The pointing of one's middle finger can signify different things. Sometimes it means "Thanks", other time it means "It's your fault." The point is both good and bad depending on the situation. A positive form of the point often includes another of the aforementioned actions, such as the upward nod or high-five. In those situations, the point is used to signify the finding of someone one knows in one's line of sight, followed by acknowledgement.

The Thumbs-Up. The thumbs-up is one of the oldest nonverbal communication actions around. It simply implies one thing: Good. For example, a thumbs-up can either mean "I'm good" or "I'm ok", while at the same time also meaning "Good job, buddy!" If one receives a thumbs-up, something positive is happening.

The Middle Finger. The middle finger is never good. Ever. It says, "I hate you, a lot, past the point of simply ignoring you, and the point that I want to express my extreme dislike." The middle finger is often utilized while driving, a common place for aggressiveness and peeving actions that will merit the middle finger.

Remember these explanations and practice these like you would your golf swing. They mean more than some think.

nuit blanche. fail.

2009-10-05T10:02:00.006-04:00

the scotia bank nuit blanche was on this past saturday night for the 4th straight year and i have to say - pretty shitty. last year was great. lots of actual art and installations. no line-ups. just an awesome night. this year, complete opposite. the work wasn't really that interesting and/or inspiring. i wouldn't be surprised to learn there was a huge budget cut to the commissioned work because it definitely looked like it. people standing around in paper bags, or participants riding around on bikes towing couches doesn't really come off as "art." but that's just me. art is completely subjective, i know. but dressing people up in paper bags? people building "shelters" out of cardboard boxes? also, the line-ups for the work were ridiculous. on a night where you know thousands of people are going to be out, why would you organize anything that would require a line-up? last year we rode from spot to spot, saw almost everything and didn't have to wait for anything other than cars and traffic. after an entire night of disappointment, we lined up for one piece. was it worth it? no.

here are some shots from the night.

so i got a chance to check out some short films at the toronto international film festival and have a couple MUST-SEES for you.

The Armoire by Jamie Travis.

"A young boy goes missing in a seemingly “perfect” suburban neighbourhood. His best friend has no idea what happened, and slowly begins to descend into an abyss of grief, tormented by the mystery surrounding the disappearance. Soon the depressed lad begins sleeping in his armoire, haunted by the silence it holds. Through magnificent art direction, Jamie Travis brings us another sad children’s tale, eerily capturing a young boy’s struggle to hide his secrets."

Danse Macabre by Pedro Pires

"Based on a concept by Robert Lepage, Pedro Pires’s exquisitely photographed morbid ballet pushes the traditional dance film to new cinematic heights. In haunting deserted spaces, the choreographed erratic motions of a corpse evoke the final spasms of life and a last struggle with the emotional turns of the past."

send back your Sigg

2009-09-08T09:40:00.004-04:00

sigg.com/liner
article found here

When you call the customer service department of an international company, you don't expect the chief executive to be returning your call or answering your e-mail.

But that's exactly what Steve Wasik's been doing for weeks now in a massive damage control exercise aimed at placating fuming owners of the Sigg water bottle.

"In the last few weeks, we heard from thousands of people, probably approaching 10,000," said Wasik in an interview this week from Las Vegas, where he's supposed to be vacationing with his family.

Instead, he's been handling most media inquiries and responding to hundreds of customer complaints, writing e-mails himself and offering to replace old bottles for free.

This was not what the CEO had in mind when late last month he posted a letter to customers boasting that all Sigg aluminum water bottles now on the market were "certified to be 100 per cent free of BPA," a controversial chemical used to harden plastic, but suspected to pose potential health hazards.

(In Canada, the federal government last year banned BPA in baby bottles and several U.S. states are considering similar legislation.)

But Wasik's letter also mentioned how Sigg bottles manufactured before August 2008 contained "trace amounts of BPA."

Needless to say, Wasik's letter did not have the desired effect.

Instead of its customers applauding Sigg's million-dollar initiative in developing its "ECO-Care" liner, they were stunned to learn that older bottles were made with any BPA at all.

Sigg has never claimed its bottles were BPA-free. When asked about the chemical last year in an interview with the popular environmental website Treehugger.com, Wasik said that scientific testing consistently showed no BPA leaching from Sigg bottles into water.

But many Sigg customers purchased the expensive bottles -- they retail for as much as $30 -- specifically because of concerns over chemicals found in plastic bottles, chemicals like BPA.

In fact, the 100-year-old Swiss company cashed in on consumer fears over BPA. When the company that makes the Nalgene water bottle pulled the popular product off store shelves amidst growing concern over the chemical, people flocked to Sigg.

Don Smith, co-owner of health-food store Foodsmiths in Perth, said that during that time, his store sold "thousands of bottles a month," peaking in the spring or summer of 2008 -- before the new BPA-free liner was introduced.

"Our trust in the company has diminished," said Smith. "They could have and should have been more forthright in their disclosure. This BPA issue has blindsided everyone."

That includes Donna Davis. Extremely health conscious, Davis tries to be as green as possible, in her personal life as well as in her business, the Movement to Health yoga studio. She even sold the bottles to her students. "Now I feel like a loser," Davis said. "I feel deceived and I feel like the middleman in deceiving other consumers."

She said claims by the company that the old lining didn't leach BPA weren't enough -- they should have disclosed that the lining contained trace amounts of chemical "and then consumers can make up their own minds."

Davis is far from alone in feeling duped by the company, which portrays itself as environmentally responsible.

"I'm new in the environmental business," said Wasik, whose background has been in the beverage and fashion industries.

"What I'm learning is that our consumers hold us to a higher standard and expect more transparency."

Earlier this week, Wasik formally apologized to Sigg customers and offered to exchange any older bottles for new ones, a move that will certainly cost the privately held company hundreds of thousands -- if not millions -- of dollars. He has also tried to personally respond to as many customer complaints as possible.

"I'd say 80 per cent of my conversations have been cordial," said Wasik. "About another 10 per cent people were angry, but most of them still want to do business with us. And about 10 per cent of people say they'll never buy our product again.

"I understand that."

Smith of Foodsmiths falls under the angry-but-still-will-sell-Siggs category. He said that even though his trust in the company has fallen, at least it is trying to make amends.

Davis isn't quite so forgiving. "I probably wouldn't stock Sigg again; I'd probably stock a nice-looking stainless steel one."

Like many other retailers who sell Siggs, Foodsmiths will exchange any bottles with the old liner that were purchased at the store, saving the customer the cost of shipping the bottles.

It's too early to tell whether customers will forgive Sigg. And retailers won't cut the company any slack.

"We do sell stainless bottles as well, and we will be promoting those a little more heavily," said Smith. "We're not loyal to the company necessarily. We'll let customers dictate. Some may choose to accept Sigg's apology and some may not."

How to return your old Sigg bottle

Since August 2008, Sigg bottles have been manufactured with the new BPA-free lining. But even if you purchased yours after that date, it may still have the old liner. Look inside your bottle: the liner with trace amounts of BPA will be a shiny copper colour, while the new "EcoCare" one is a matte yellow.

- Check with the store where you purchased your bottles -- many retailers are exchanging the old Siggs for new ones (and absorbing the shipping fees as a service for their customers).

- If you're sending your old Siggs in yourself, go online to www.mysigg.com/liner. On the left-hand side, click on menu item "Exchange Program."

- Near the bottom of the page are downloadable forms specifically for Canadian customers. You'll need two: one is a shipping label, so that your bottles will get to the right part of the Sigg Canada warehouse. The second one is a return form for Canadian customers. Make sure you fill this out in full so that the company knows where to send your new bottles.

- This is not a recall, but a voluntary replacement program. The company is not offering refunds. And you'll have to pay the postage for sending the old Siggs back to the company.

- The exchange program ends Oct. 31, 2009.

one year walk/beard grow time lapse

2009-09-06T21:39:00.002-04:00

November 9th 2007 - November 13th 2008
one year on foot - 4646km through China
unlimited beard & hair growth
thelongestway.com
musical score by the kingpins ( myspace.com/theoneandonlykingpins ) and zhu fengbo

Additional info:
- I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the desert of Gobi, and then decided to stop walking for now.
- All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things.
- I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful.
- Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues.
- The songs I used in the video are 1) Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" and 2) The Kingpins - "L'aventurier" - visit the Kingpins website if you want to know more, they are very cool I think.
- This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting.
- The core of this project is in fact my website "www.thelongestway.com" where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later.

i know no car would have any kind of advantage against these trucks in this situation, but somehow i'd much rather take my chances in something that a little more up front and behind (like an engine and a trunk).
