Director and screenwriter Adam Bhala Lough takes the reigns for this tale of suburban mayhem that made its world premiere at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. It's the end of another work week in a typical, working class American suburb, and everyone is looking to cut loose before getting back into the daily grind come Monday. When a series of vicious and apparently random youth-related killings shake this quiet community to its very core over the course of three unforgettable days, however, an investigation soon leads the populace to find that there may be a connecting string that ties all of these brutal homicides together. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

"On land, at sea, and in the air, the story of modern warfare is the story of weapons races. This series looks at eight of these high-stakes contests. Featuring informative expert commentaries by renowned military analysts, archival footage, and illuminating graphics, it shows how technological advances have transformed warfare in today's world. Follow the weapons races as they pass through the two world wars, Korea and Vietnam, the Cold War, and the various conflicts of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, right up to the 21st century. Trace the stages of each race, from original concept and early breakthroughs to enemy countermeasures and current state of the art. Finally, learn how innovators have pushed the technological limits - of speed, endurance, maneuverability, range, accuracy, and firepower - to produce the killing machines of today."
Extremely top-heavy exotic dancer Chesty Morgan (billed on screen as Zsa Zsa, though the name Chesty Morgan appeared in all the film's advertising) made her screen debut in this wildly improbable crime story written and directed by Doris Wishman. Crystal (Morgan) is an advertising executive who has fallen in love with Larry (Greg Reynolds), a hoodlum working for a mysterious crime boss with a trademark scar on his right hand. While ransacking the home of a rival gangster, Larry finds and pockets an address book which will provide him plenty of blackmail material on his colleagues; when two of them, smart-suited and mustachioed Tony (Harry Reems, whose name is misspelled "Harry Reemes" in the credits) and one-eyed Captain Hook suspect Larry is holding out on them, they kill him and set out to find the book. However, Larry already gave it to Crystal for safe keeping, and when she learns her man is dead, she sets out to find Tony and Hook and get revenge. Inexperienced with a gun, Crystal kills her enemies using the weapons nature gave her -- she smothers men with her massive 73-inch bust. Deadly Weapons was a commercial breakthrough for Doris Wishman, who had been making low-budget sexploitation films since 1960; Wishman and Morgan would team up again for Double Agent 73. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Near Future of Military Gear
Here's a first look at the immediate future of military gear -- two of the coolest and most interesting U.S. military weapons technology that will possibly be used on the battlefield in the next few years. Plus, the beginning of military robots that join soldiers in the field of battle. HK XM25 IAWS This is a 25mm individual airburst weapon (commonly known as a grenade launcher) made by Heckler & Koch. It is basically a different version of the prototype XM29-OICW (a weapons project that was canceled). The XM25 uses a TA/FC system (Target Acquisition/Fire Control), which allows the firearm's projectiles to detonate when they reach their target. The distance to a target is calculated by pointing the firearm towards the target. This distance is then quickly programmed into the projectile, and after being fired, the projectile round detonates at the precise predetermined distance. Because of this impressive targeting system, the weapon boasts a very high kill rate. The weapon boasts a range of 500-700 meters (or about 1600 feet to about 2300 feet). The weapon also has the ability to "evade" physical defenses by the enemy. For example, if an enemy is hiding behind a boulder, the projectile fired will go around the boulder and provide a direct hit. Talk about a smart weapon! As of 2009, the weapon was being field-tested in the Middle East. The current projected date for the weapon to officially go into production is 2012. Boeing MATRIX Weapon System Laser weapons are an integral part of most any science fiction movie, TV show, book, or video game. But what about laser weapons that actually exist? Laser technology for use in weapons has been experimented with for several years, with the Air Force's Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser being produced in the 1970s. But just recently, Boeing reported its successful tests of two different laser weapons. Its anti-air laser weapon, called MATRIX (Mobile Active Targeting Resource for Integrated eXperiments), shot down five unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The weapon targets and destroys an air vehicle using a high power laser beam. Another laser weapons system, called the Advanced Tactical Laser, has been successful in destroying ground targets from the air. It was the Air Force who gave Boeing the money to develop the MATRIX system. With this news, it appears laser weapons from science fiction stories are not so far from becoming reality. SUGV This small utility vehicle is just what the doctor ordered for combating terrorists on their own turf. The SUGV (Small Unmanned Utility Vehicle) is a robot vehicle made by iRobot based on the design of the PackBot (which is currently being used in the fight against terror in the Middle East). The SUGV, weighing less than 30 lbs., will be carried by one soldier and activated when needed. It has a built-in camera, to that allows its driver to view the unit's line of sight by wearing a small eyepiece. An Xbox game system controller is used to drive the unit, which provides for easy operation by soldiers of younger generations. It has the ability to traverse over just about any kind of surface, including going up a staircase. It can carry a maximum payload of 6 pounds. The unit's purpose is to go ahead of soldiers' positions and identify, and possibly eliminate, any danger. The unit will come in handy most when soldiers must enter buildings and other structures in order to exterminate enemies -- the SUGV can go ahead of them and locate the position of enemies. If danger is detected (ie, enemy personnel) it can fire gas grenades so the team of U.S. soldiers has an advantage before it even encounters the enemy. The camera will also be able to identify the presence of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), which have wreaked havoc during the war on terror. With the advent of the SUGV, robots will finally be joining humans on the battlefield. The SUGV may not be a Terminator, but they will no doubt provide exceptional benefits for soldiers in combat. The units will start to see action in 2011.

Sword Knife Is it possible to buy an authentic damascus sword or knife?
If so, how much would it cost?
Yes. True swordmakers still make them today. I was at a Rennaisance Festival, the proprietor of Angel Swords was an American trained by a Japanese family in the way of Japanese swordmaking. He had several Damascus steel blades- Absolutely gorgeous!! One was a full set of swords a Samauri would have owned, back then it was between 10-15k. Probably a little bit more today.

What are you using to open your bills now? Your finger? Your teeth? A butter knife? Wouldn't you rather annihilate envelopes with the style and grace of a samurai? Samurai weren't always the space-traveling, laser-wielding, mech-piloting adventurers they are today. In the past, they used to fight with swords and stuff. But seriously, we all know samurai are honorable, cool, and historically awesome. They wore armor and fought with swords and trained their mind as well as their body. They were the super heroes (and heroines!) of feudal Japan. And now you can have a little part of their legacy help you at work. The Samurai Sword Letter Opener features solid cast metal parts with antique bronze finish, real silver and gold accents, and samurai motif details. The grip is wood with the traditional katana wrap and feels powerful in your hand. Envelopes stand little chance against you now! They will simply cower like the meek harbingers of injustice you've always known them to be. There's even a wooden saya and stand to display your treasured weapon when you're not slaying processed trees with it.

If you ar reading this article is because we have one thing in common. We ar both Assassins Creed's fans and we would love to have those swords back home. But we have some doubts about the origins of this swords and we want some facts.
INFO
I decided to write this article, because a couple of days ago a client of mine asked me " Hey, whats the real difference between this video game sword and somw medieval swords? Which one would you use in combat? JAJAJA its just a question dont out that face?"
In some way i decided to compare this swords and knifes to the ones used during reanissance and medieval ages.
I dont want to bore you with lots of useless info but i believe that almost any fan of the video game most know that the main difference between the medieval longswords and the ones used on the renaissance come from the exchange between the arab world and the occident. In fact befor the 15th century almost every sword made in europe where "staright balde" swords, the ones used during the reanissance where not so staright and som of them where thinner.
The ones we see in the video game come from renaissance replicas, expecting for the so called Hidden blade or Extension Knife which was invented untill 17th Century.
What about Tha Assassins Creed's II Swords And Knifes?
You will find there are 4 different Assassins Creed Swords on the market.
Firt we have the ORIGINAL Sword of Ezio which is a very light Sword 1lb/14 oz made of high carbon steel.
The we have Sword Breaker Dagger, you know the one you can use to destroy the other guy's sword.
We have 3 types of knifes Assassin's Creed II AUTHENTIC Extension Knife (hidden Blade), Assassin's Creed Fighting Knife & Belt,Throwing Knives.
Which of these items would i buy if i had just enought money to buy one.
Many clients choose the Sword of Ezio for obvious reasons, but i prefer to buy the Assassin's Creed Fighting Knife & Belt. Why??? Well if you take a close look to it you will see it looks an amazing. It is shorter and you can put it everywhere you want and most of all it is not as expensive as the Ezio One, in deed it is 20 USD cheaper and it is as cool as the other one.
It's a nearly impossible feat to not find at least one thing to like about A.R.E. Weapons. They cut slithery, bar-brawler-like figures, and yet they mean so well that they're not unlike the unkempt greaseball who takes a break from working on his chopper
