The Guardian (aka The Guardsman) is a 2006 action-adventure drama film directed by Andrew Davis. The film stars Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher and Melissa Sagemiller. The film's title is introduced by a mythic tale: people lost at sea often claim they feel a presence lifting them to the surface, breathing life into their bodies while they are waiting for help to arrive. They call this presence "The Guardian". The setting for the film is the United States Coast Guard and their Aviation Survival Technician (AST) program. The Guardian was released on September 29, 2006.
Ben Randall (Kevin Costner), the top rescue swimmer at the United States Coast Guard's Aviation Survival Technician (AST) program. Due to his frequent time at work, Ben's wife, requests a separation. When on a rescue, he loses his rescue team in an HH-60J Jayhawk helicopter crash at sea. While waiting in a survival raft, his best friend, Chief Petty Officer Carl Billings (Omari Hardwick), dies. Shaken, Ben considers retiring but becomes an instructor at a Coast Guard training school.

Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher star in THE GUARDIAN, the powerful, action-packed drama that takes you inside the never-before-seen world of the elite Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. Reeling with grief in the wake of a mission gone tragically wrong, legendary Rescue Swimmer Ben Randall (Costner) is given a mission he doesn't want — training raw recruits. Once there, he knocks heads with cocky Jake Fischer (Kutcher), a swimming champ driven by a painful secret, who's more interested in breaking Ben's records than saving lives. But Ben also sees Jake has what it takes to be the best of the best. Filled with spectacular rescues in the lethal waters of the Bering Sea, THE GUARDIAN is a riveting and compelling story that dives straight into the heart and soul of real heroes, the unsung guardians ...

Clip from The Guardian. It is personally one if not my favorite part in a movie.
SEPTEMBER 2006 PRESS RELEASE Fusion CI Studios continues to make leading-edge strides in Hollywood’s highly competitive world of visual effects. When the action film, The Guardian (starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher) is released on Friday, September 29th, movie goers will see daring sea rescues amidst heaving seas with Coast Guard helicopters crashing and ships floundering through giant ocean waves, spewing ocean-spray high into stormy skies. What they won’t see is that most of that water came from Vancouver…..well, virtually. What started as a ‘trickle’ in Poseidon has become a virtual tidal wave with The Guardian. Mark Stasiuk, co-founder of Vancouver’s Fusion CI Studios, supervised a fluid fx team at CIS Hollywood to create the computer-generated wall of water in Poseidon th...

Ruaumoko is the Māori guardian of earthquakes; he is normally sleeping in an unborn state deep within the belly of Papatūānuku (mother earth). Ruaumoko is best left alone, but when awoken by the approach or prodding of visitors he will blast fire at them, follow their movements and growl.

Creating interactive work that forms a connection and resonates is often about the unseen; the bits in between, the invisible moments that take something from good to great and help build a relationship, however fleeting or transient. As our ordinary everyday sees us surrounded by more and more opportunities to interact, now more than ever we need to uncover the unseen to create interactive experiences that aren't made for the logical, ones and zeros paradigm of machines but for the illogical and beautiful nature of people. In this session Brendan will take y...
by @notthisbody and @jason_silva http://notthisbody.com INSPIRATION: Albert-László Barabási, author of LINKED, wants you to think about NETWORKS: “Networks are everywhere. The brain is a network of nerve cells connected by axons, and cells themselves are networks of molecules connected by biochemical reactions. Societies, too, are networks of people linked by friendships, familial relationships and professional ties. On a larger scale, food webs and ecosystems can be represented as networks of species. And networks pervade technology: the Internet, power grids and transportation systems are but a few examples. Even the language we are using to convey these thoughts to you is a network, made up of words connected by syntactic relationships.” 'For decades, we assumed that the components...
Since 2006, Lori Weise of Downtown Dog Rescue has been running free spay/neuter dog clinics in Compton’s East Rancho Dominguez Park. On the second Saturday of each month, about 35 dogs who have appointments are fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. Lori created this program specifically for Compton after hearing about the many strays in the area. She also learned that many locals want to have their dogs fixed, but they simply can’t afford it, or do not have transportation to a clinic outside the neighborhood. Each dog that comes in costs about $100; Lori has support from the Heigl Foundation, PetSmart and private donations to hire the AngelDogs Foundation’s mobile spay/neuter vehicle.

17 DECEMBER 2010 - 17 MARCH 2011 FREE A major retrospective exhibition of the artist, performer and composer Nam June Paik, widely considered to be one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century... Future-gazer, media activist, collaborator and thinker, Nam June Paik (1932-2006) was one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century. He stretched the idea of what art could be and what making art could be like. Working across the disciplines of experimental music, performance, TV, video and sculpture, Paik's career reflects the development of a set of counter-culture ideas that are central to artists working with technology today.

I push through the crowd
Without looking back
To leave you behind
Took all i had
And maybe i'm wrong
i might be sorry
But what kind of fool
Would hope for a change
Then write a new word
On a page that stained
and ruined by lie
You shouldn't have told me
I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
On a heart that's been abused
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
I swallow the urge
To call out your name
The need crashes in
I brace for the wave
And pray it will pass
Not take me under
'cause, I'm the guardian
I am the last defence for
My weakened heart
That still wants you
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
Of a heart that's been abused
I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
