Movies made in Seattle and Washington
The trailer for the new movie, “Laggies,” just came out, in which the city of Seattle plays a starring role with Keira Knightley and Chloe Moretz. Locals will recognize many backdrops in the movie, from the Aurora Bridge to the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum. Shelton grew up in Seattle, and “Laggies,” like most of her movies, has a laidback Northwest vibe. You can see the trailer below, but first, here’s a look at other movies also filmed in Seattle and Washington. Vancouver has often masqueraded as Seattle in recent years, but Seattle and the Northwest have a rich history in cinematography all their own. Here’s a look. And here’s [...]

Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc., the GTA’s Leading Pavement Maintenance Contractor, Announces Advantages of Power Sweeping During the Summer
Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. (http://www.SureSealPavement.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s leading pavement maintenance and repair company, is announcing the advantages of power sweeping during the summer.
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) July 18, 2014
Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. (http://www.SureSealPavement.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s leading pavement maintenance and repair company, is announcing the advantages of power sweeping during the summer.
“Summer is the best time to power sweep and rid pavements of all the dirt from earlier seasons, and power sweeping is just a great way to clean up the pavement or any other outdoor surface,” says Lance Bradshaw, president and CEO of Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. “It allows for all laneway and parking stall lines to be refreshed with a fresh coat of paint.”
Bradshaw explains that many more benefits stem from a summer power sweeping, with increased curb appeal and a longer pavement life being two of the top benefits. In addition, loose debris actually deteriorates the pavement, and that in turn cuts down the visual appeal and the lifespan of a pavement or surface.
“Power sweeping actually helps line marking. A cleaner surface is ideal for line marking and makes the lines more clear and visible,” he adds. “Proper line marking helps improve the flow of traffic and improves driver and pedestrian safety, and actually improves tenant relations by having clear lines of separation in parking lots.”
“Drivers and pedestrians should remember that power sweeping and line marking are part of a standard pavement management plan,” Bradshaw concludes. “At Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc., we offer complimentary pavement inspections and assistance with developing a pavement management plan.”
Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. is a 20-year-old pavement maintenance contractor that services commercial, industrial, retail, office, and corporate property owners and managers throughout the Ontario region. The company provides both new construction and repair of asphalt pavement surfaces, including parking lots and roadways. With its headquarters in Brampton and an operations facility in Toronto, Sure-Seal Pavement Maintenance Inc. serves the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon, Barrie, Markham, Newmarket, Aurora, Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Richmond Hill, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa.

McDonald's And KFC Bought Rotten Meat In China: Report
BEIJING (AP) — McDonald's and KFC in China faced a new food safety scare Monday after a Shanghai television station reported a supplier sold them expired beef and chicken.
The companies said they immediately stopped using meat from the supplier, Husi Food Co., Ltd. The Shanghai office of China's food and drug agency said it was investigating and told customers to suspend use of the supplier's products.
Dragon TV said Sunday that Husi, owned by OSI Group of Aurora, Illinois, repackaged old beef and chicken and put new expiration dates on them. It said they were sold to McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants.
The report added to a series of food safety scares in China that have battered public confidence in dairies, fast food outlets and other suppliers.
McDonald's Corp. and Yum Brands Inc., which owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, said they were conducting their own investigations.
"Food safety is a top priority for McDonald's," the company said on its microblog account. The company said it pursues "strict compliance" with consumer safety laws and regulations and has "zero tolerance for illegal behavior."
A third company, sandwich shop chain Dicos, said in a statement that it stopped using sausage patties supplied by Husi. Dicos is owned by Taiwan's Ting Hsin International Group, and the company website said it had 2,000 outlets in China as of September 2013.
The Shanghai office of the State Food and Drug Administration said it was working with police to investigate Husi.
"At present, the company has been sealed and suspect products seized," the agency said on its website.
McDonald's sealed 4,500 cases of beef, pork, chicken and other products supplied by Husi for investigation and Pizza Hut sealed 500 cases of seasoned beef, the city government said in a statement.
A woman who answered the phone at Husi's headquarters said no one was available to comment. The official Xinhua News Agency cited a company manager, Yang Liqun, who said Husi has a strict quality control system and will cooperate in the investigation.
The Communist Party secretary of Shanghai, Han Zheng, called for "severe punishment" of any wrongdoing, according to the city government statement.
KFC is China's biggest restaurant chain, with more than 4,000 outlets and plans to open 700 more this year.
The company was badly hurt after state television reported in December 2013 that some poultry suppliers violated rules on drug use in chickens. Yum said KFC sales in China plunged 37 percent the following month. KFC launched an effort to tighten control over product quality and eliminated more than 1,000 small poultry producers from its supply network.
In a string of product scandals over the past decade, infants, hospital patients and others have been killed by phony or adulterated milk powder, drugs and other goods.
Foreign fast food brands are seen as more reliable than Chinese competitors, though local brands have made big improvements in quality.
The high profile of foreign brands means any complaints involving them attract attention, while their status as foreign companies with less political influence means Chinese media can publicize their troubles more freely.
Scandal-weary consumers on Monday expressed mixed feelings.
Chen Lu, 24, an employee of an Internet company, was eating a chicken burger and fries at a McDonald's in central Shanghai that was half-empty at midday, a time when most restaurants are crowded.
"My boyfriend called and told me not to eat McDonald's one minute after I ordered this chicken hamburger, but what can I do? I've already ordered and I am in a hurry," she said.
"I am worried about my health," she said. "I will try to avoid it, at least for a while. I am pretty disappointed in this brand."
Another diner, Liu Kun, a 24-year-old student from Nanjing who was visiting Shanghai, said he was not concerned.
"The incident won't change me eating here," Liu said. "There have been negative reports all the time. McDonald and KFC are the leaders in the industry."

The high profile of foreign brands means any complaints involving them attract attention, while their status as foreign companies with less political influence means Chinese media can publicize their troubles more freely.
Scandal-weary consumers on Monday expressed mixed feelings.
Chen Lu, 24, an employee of an Internet company, was eating a chicken burger and fries at a McDonald's in central Shanghai that was half-empty at midday, a time when most restaurants are crowded.
"My boyfriend called and told me not to eat McDonald's one minute after I ordered this chicken hamburger, but what can I do? I've already ordered and I am in a hurry," she said.
"I am worried about my health," she said. "I will try to avoid it, at least for a while. I am pretty disappointed in this brand."
Another diner, Liu Kun, a 24-year-old student from Nanjing who was visiting Shanghai, said he was not concerned.
"The incident won't change me eating here," Liu said. "There have been negative reports all the time. McDonald and KFC are the leaders in the industry."
