I think this topic shows a clear point of separation between games & movies.
B movies are a genre in another medium(films), whereas in games I would say most of the positives (viseral action, Shoot anything that movies,etc) as well as the negatives(The story, Dailogue & delivery of it,etc) of B-movies are present in most games, hence we use a different genre subset, it's kind of like having an FPS movie (from beginning to end, not just 10 minutes! groundbreaking I know).
Genres change from medium to medium. Eventually it just shows that we should stop aping our sister medium so much or not, there's always the chance that the sequel will be better.
Personally, I had high hopes for this game.

So called "Advergames" are sometimes sort of like B games. So long as solid and bug-free enough to play. (No one wants to interact with a computer program that doesn't work right. Even if it doesn't work right in a charming way.)
The "Chex Quest" trilogy comes to mind.
|Tom Newman
A lot is based on consumer expectations. I feel there is a lot of room for "B" games, and many can be fun. A good example is Earth Defense Force for 360. This is obviously a low-budget title sold at a budget price. I knew going in that this was no competition for games like Halo, but provided a fun experience nonetheless.
The problem with most "B" games is that they are sold and marketed as "A" games, which leads to consumer dissapointment. Budget pricing, and truthful marketing can open up some room in the market for sure!
|E Zachary Knight
I think that the reason B movies have a bit of charm that allows them to find an audience is the fact that they last no more than 2 hours. People can justify a 1.5 hour crap movie easier than they can justify playing a crap game for 10+ hours.
I also agree with Devraj and Tom have said. Most of the AAA games from a narrative standpoint would be considered B movie material and any games from a gameplay standpoint that could be considered B game material are marketed as A games.
I think that in order for games to have a B game level we would need to stop taking ourselves so seriously. The AAA mentality that most major publishers have is what is really holding us back as a medium. In my opinion that is.
|Simon Prefontaine
I'm surprised no one has mentioned 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. I haven't played it, but it seems like it achieves a b-movie feel by mixing good (or at least decent) gameplay with a ridiculous narrative.
|Victor Perez
If Ive got it, the axiom here is AAA games = Good Games, No AAA games = No Good Games.. And it is true if we see the press and hardcore public opinions, but perhaps it is because we educate them for that. Game is FUN If we compare with movies well there are going to be always eye amazing movies and good movies (or the latest Clint Eastwood movie is not good?), in movies you are looking for good scripts, STORY in game we should look for FUN. And none can convince me High Budget provides FUN but help
|Gregory Kinneman
I think the issue is coming from our perspectives. The people who read Gamasutra are people who like to play games (or at least make them). As such, we consider most AAA titles to be excellent and anything below that to be inferior.
I think the question at hand is not "can we make a B game" but instead: "Can we make an AAA/A title with a low budget and poor quality and expect it to still have enough charm to succeed as a B title?" I feel that the writer and I agree that the answer is no. Yet a game designed to be a B title, such as Peggle, has a great chance of succeeding because it is designed to be a B title that looks like a B title.
I doubt many would give World of Goo a high review if it was being sold for $50, but because it's not a AAA title, and not marketed as such, people appreciate it for what it is.
|Evan Combs
A true B game is going to be extremely rare simply because games in general are not passive activities. You don't have to think to watch a movie, hell 90% of all Hollywood movies are made on that principle. This makes for a B movie to be a lot more easily enjoyable. Add to that what Ephriam Knight said about length, and it is clear why enjoyable B games are rare to come by. If a B game is to succeed I believe it would need to have some kind of established IP like Star Wars to its name.
The only game that I would consider a B level game that I enjoyed was SW:Battlefront. There was so much wrong with that game that it was surprising that it was fun to play, but it did just enough right to be fun to play.
A games gameplay has to be fun for a player to enjoy it. That is hard enough to achieve with a AAA game, and only becomes even tougher when you are intentionally making a B game.
|David Delanty
"The game features comedian Will Arnett in the lead voice role of a (parody of a) Duke Nukem-style action hero."
Wait, did I read that right? A parody of an action hero...that in itself is a parody of an action hero? Absolutely brilliant!
Though I feel that the 'B Game' has been in existence for quite a long time. A good example I can think of is Serious Sam. It was a budget title that aimed for a thoughtless, campy delivery. A lot of people praised the game for its visuals (considering the low price tag) and straight-forward action, though it didn't get a lot of recognition for story, plot progression, character development, and all the other traits that define the contemporary AAA title. While we could call this a quintessential 'B Game' many referred to it as more of a 'Tech Demo' than an actual game just because the game's intent was to license its engine.
Or so my recollection of history serves me. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I suppose one reason why 'B Movies' get such a strong following is because the viewer only has to stomach it for an hour or two. Games are generally designed for several hours of gameplay; even the casual titles. It would be difficult to have one of those games that are 'so bad it's good' because the human psyche can only take so much 'bad' before giving up on the experience completely. It can be done, of course, but I doubt the 'B-level' phenomenon will be as prominently recognized in gaming as it is in movies.
|Austin Ivansmith
To my understanding, a B movie is incredibly low budget, and the kind of thing where the producers say "We need something fast that looks like some other movies. Go shoot it in the woods, get some no name actors, and show some boobs. Teenage boys love boobs."
Now with that as your definition, I ask if you have ever played a game made by Crave or XS Games? I can imagine the same thing coming from the management: "Just get it out the door."
When a B Game is an "Earnest Failure" you get Cosmic Race or Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing. So we have had those, and they have a place in our hearts, on Youtube.
If you are putting in the EFFORT to make something that is cheesy and tongue-in-cheek, you are not making a B Game, pointed out you are making a satire, as Christian Nutt pointed out. So I don't think we ever will see a "true" B game which will get a strong following, especially not at AAA console title prices.
|Christian Nutt
50 Cent actually comes close, I think, in terms of how people are enjoying it -- at least people I know. It's definitely a guilty pleasure for them. One of the best quotes I read recently was a couple of game enthusiast journalist friends discussing it on Twitter -- one suggested playing the PS3 version (which lacks trophies) so it didn't "taint" the other's Gamerscore.
I had considered mentioning the game in this piece but I didn't get there.
50 Cent is a really laughable celebrity. The fact that he's cast as a soldier in a game makes it really hilarious. But the point still stands that even if people are treating this like a B movie and laughing at the scenario and enjoying it ironically, they absolutely wouldn't play it if the gameplay wasn't legitimately entertaining, and that's the point.
As a movie, it would be beyond ridiculous. As a game it's only ridiculous because it stars a rapper Compare Army of Two, which is about a millimeter away in terms of its ridiculousness; beyond that I think was essentially considered to be ridiculous by a lot of the press, but essentially skates by at face value anyway, in the end.
|Jamie Mann
I'd actually say that there's been a few "B" games - Serious Sam, Prey, Max Payne and Painkiller come immediately to mind, with over-the-top action and a sense of humour running throughout. Dead Space is another, more recent potential example.
In truth, this article may be looking in the wrong place - people generally don't set out to make a b-movie, but are constrained by lack of money (and/or talent). As with Eat Lead, efforts to deliberately make a b-movie generally fail - Evil Dead 3 being a prime example.
As with the movies, it's generally best to look outside the mainstream: the indie scene is one place where there's a lot of B-movie style stuff, produced by people on a very low budget and varying levels of talent (this isn't a criticism: my own graphical and audio skills are best described as either primitive or non-existent!)
|brandon sheffield
I would argue the case of D3's Japanese offerings in the "earnest failure" category. Onechanbara actually fits the bill for me, in that they tried to make a T&A zombie game, and sort of did a bad job of it, but the end result is pleasing for people who just like to mash the X button to take out some zombies, whilst collecting new costumes and suchlike.
EDF 2017 is another, where the game tackles a broad subject - aliens attacking the earth - and makes the story as inconsequential as such a cliche should be, while allowing and encouraging the simple fun of blowing things up. The unintentionally (maybe?) cheesy dialog actually helps the process, building a package not unlike enjoyable B-movies that one might watch over beers with friends.
GHM's Michigan is another, with poor voice acting and limited action, but a compelling theme, and music that actually draws you in despite the game's obvious limitations.
So I think it's possible, but maybe not intentionally. Within the realm of budget publishers you do occasionally see those glimmers of a good idea in an otherwise poor game, and perhaps that should be the definition as applies to games, though many of them truly feel more like a "C" experience than a B.
Also: I hated the lost skeleton of cadavra, just to say, but I'm more critical of movies than I am of games!
|Sean Parton
For some reason, there seems to be this assumption that a B-movie is considered good by most people who watch it. I'd like to challenge that notion, as it seems absurd.
It is claimed that such a low score for Eat Lead and other similar games makes them bad games and at the same time not B-movies. A causal search of Metacritic for movies (oh noez guys, that site has those too!) finds classic B-movies like Army of Darkness at 57.* If B-movies are often rated so low by critics, why is the author (and many others here) holding games at such a different distinction?
We should be able to agree that B-games are games that do something well, but have other startling limitations. One of my favourite games that would probably be considered a B-game is Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Ridiculously repetitive, very simple, in many ways very tedious to go through... Metacritic average of 60. But the game is so damn fun for me and a few friends to plow through at least once.
I feel just the same with Eat Lead. Yes, there's a lot of absolutely horrible gameplay (I don't normally play console shooters, but I can tell that). But just the same, it has it's charms: some parts of the gameplay work rather well (cover usually does it's job, and shooting works moderately well), and the dialog is fantastic. As such, it's a perfect candidate of a B-movie game.
In summary, I believe the industry not only can make B-movie games, but does so regularly. And just because it's a B-movie game, doesn't mean it's bad... it usually just ends up meaning only a select few groups of people are willing to tolerate it. But for those people, the game is amazing. And that's what counts.
*I'd find more examples, but I'm not a big movie buff, so I'm not well versed in B-movie knowledge
|Christian Nutt
Yes, but we generally accept that movie critics and game critics approach their respective media quite differently. As has been pointed out, game critics tend to align much more closely with what is popular than movie critics align with the general moviegoing audience. This has been discussed frequently, recently because it hasn't been holding true for Wii/DS casual/family titles. For games like Eat Lead, it does.
|brandon sheffield
and on top of what christian says here, in movies you have a far more educated critical public. so a B-movie can be appreciated by a select group of discerning viewers, but the game audience is much more likely to like a game simply because they haven't played anything in that genre before. As Sean notes, he liked Matt Hazard, but doesn't usually play console shooters. Is that then an informed opinion? The general game-playing public can't possible be as game-savvy as moviegoers are movie savvy, given the time commitment for each.
So the environment that allows the existence of B-movies doesn't really exist for games, which I think is part of the issue.
|Stephen Chin
I think the real matter isn't whether we can make B-games. As previous posters have mentioned, there already exists B-games (titles that aren't AAA-titles but aren't instant bargain bin crud either). The real issues is the acceptance of such games as 'legitimate' and 'quality' by both consumer/player and developer as a whole. When going to see a B-movie (or really, any movie not made by a major studio), there's an expectation of low budget which in turn means people are willing to accept cheaper results as long as it's entertaining. In video games though it seems it's either AAA-title, niche/genre, or some sort of serious/artsy game. Anything that isn't one of those is generally considered average at best and not worth ones time by both the critics and the players at large, be it casual or hardcore (or whatever).
It isn't helped by the misleading transparency of video game development. It's relatively easy to 'get' various programming and art concepts and being computers, there's the cultural expectation of 'cheap/easy' which leads to people believe that AAA-title effects or gameplay or whatever is much more easily achievable. Similarly with all the games-from-garage type stories we throw around.
This lack of support for them means a similar lack of non-development resources like marketing and promotion. Companies seem less willing to talk about non-AAA titles; they just release them and critics don't get copies to talk about. At best, you get one paragraph recommendation in the occasional quirky column on a dedicated video game site. Thus it's either 10+ million budge or sub 100K budget.
Get rid of the glass ceiling between AAA/niche/etc and 'everything else', make sure people hear about them and can accept them, and I think the presence of B games and a mid-budget middle ground will be much common and acceptable.
|Jeffrey Fleming
With all this talk of B Movies it occurs to me that the game industry might do well to examine low-budget films, not for their content but for their actual production methods. Now, I understand that comparing movies and games can be seen as a lazy metaphor in writing, but the game industry itself (particularly publishers) loves to make the comparison so Im sticking with it.
The production of both movies and games require significant outlays of time, personnel, technology, and moneyeven at the low end. Film is a far more mature business and has been dealing with its own limitations for decades longer than the game industry. The B movie is functional response to those limits. Game makers can learn much about alternative financing and distribution by studying say, Russ Meyer or Larry Cohen. The production of Mario Bavas films is a case study in how to achieve visually striking results with extremely limited resources. The early days of porn are a tale of filmmakers who made movies by any means necessary while facing deep cultural and legal resistanceonly to be ripped off by the moneymen at every opportunity. Sound vaguely familiar to anyone?
The game business should know its own history but learning from its older siblings response to similar problems can be instructive as well.
|E Zachary Knight
All this talk of B-Games has reminded me of one of my favorite B-games. Final Fantasy X-2. Gameplay wise it was blast to play. I enjoyed the battle sequences quite well, but storywise it ran like a sci-fi movie crossed with a chick flick.
|Paul Lazenby
Unfortunately the Behind the Music parody wasn't funny, just dumb.
Which goes to show that you can have a good idea, and poorly execute it.
Which, in the case of Eat Lead, translates to the game itself also.
|Christian Nutt
Absolutely you can have players take games seriously that have lower budgets and production values than so-called AAA games. That's outside of the scope of my original post though, by a fair distance.
The issue is that you simply necessarily limit your audience. I think that Japanese developers take this tactic rather effectively on a fairly routine basis (Disgaea, Persona 3/4 are some good examples that are very well-known and have semi-crossed over.)
It's sort of a chicken and egg thing; but knowing your audience will take you very far here.

|jaime kuroiwa
It's strange that Eat Lead would bring up this topic, because I would associate this game more with the retro genre. A B game is an inspired piece of work with little funding, while a retro game is a litany of in-jokes.
The appeal of a B movie, at least for me, is that the filmmaker was COMPELLED to make the movie, regardless of budget, time, trends, etc. While some B movies attempt to copy popular genres, the standouts are the ones which clearly achieve someone's vision. It's the difference between Day of the Dead by George Romero and the one by Steve Miner.
The game industry, thankfully, is trending towards the smaller developer through digital distribution and inexpensive tools, so expect an explosion in B game development because there are a ton of people out there who feel compelled to make a game, and the barriers to entry are considerably lower than before.
The B game, like B movies, survive by vision alone. Gameplay and visual quality may play a part in its success, but those are only embellishments for an otherwise solid foundation. There is no "accident" for the B game/movie; They have achieved exactly what they aimed for.
So I think we have a disagreement with the definition of a B game. By Mr. Nutt's definition, we have yet to make a B game. By my definition, we're already surrounded by it.
|Christopher Enderle
I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say shelf life can contribute to whether or not a game/movie succeeds as B fare. Being enticed by the fan following to pick up a copy of Evil Dead is a much more realistic proposition than finding yourself a copy of the original Resident Evil. Without being able to cultivate and sustain a particular culture to say "This is B quality, these are the things that make it hilarious" it's really hard to get the same perspective on games as you can with movies.
Also, I'd say B quality definitely exists in books, but what about music?
|Jeff Haas
Two points:
1. B movies traditionally were genre pictures. For a long time, if it was science fiction, action, suspense or similar categories that appealed to adolescents, it was a "B" movie. The "A" movies appealed to adults.
Once genre movies became summer blockbusters, they became "A" movies because of their wide appeal and huge box office take.
The videogame business is almost completely dependent upon "B" movie genres.
2. Even in a low budget B movie, you can still have good timing and pacing, so the result is really entertaining. Evil Dead 1 & 2 are good examples of this. They're over-the-top and cheesy but the editing and talent behind them makes them really entertaining.
So the videogame equivalent shouldn't be full of self-referential humor...it should be an inexpensive game with a low budget that plays really well; it should have its heart in the right place and succeed in spite of the limited resources.

I would say Castle Crashers is a successful B-game. It's obviously got low-production values -- as in the art looks like something I could have drawn, almost; the story is pretty non-existent, and the voice work is, well, there is no voice work. The gameplay is pretty retro -- basically Golden Axe with worse graphics -- and yet it's a lot of fun to play. And metacritic gives it a solid green 82.
I think the trick to "B-games" is good gameplay with cheesy other elements, like art, story, or sound. That works.
P.S. I used to work at 3DO, and one thing that Trip Hawkings always used to tell us is that he wanted to make the "B" games of the industry. 3DO is bankrupt now...
|Joshua Dallman
Sexy Hiking anyone?
I've been playing B games for years. They're called shareware, indie, freeware, and home-made games. YouTube is full of B quality clips, AddictingGames is full of B quality games. And I love them. The more terrible the graphics the better.
As for The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra reference, though I enjoy B movies, I thought Cadavra was boring as hell. Game-makers can't get away with poor gameplay, and film-makers (parody or not) can't get away with boring their audience.
|raigan burns
@Ian Barkley-Yeung: in what universe does Golden Axe have better graphics than Castle Crashers?! It's not about "production values", it's about aesthetics and style -- something that CC has an abundance of. And mentioning story or voice acting when talking about games is totally moot-larious.
|Yannick Boucher
Erm.... NOT ONE among all of you guys (including Christian) mentioned House of the Dead ??! I think you're missing the obvious. As far as "B STYLE" games go, this is it !! As for B-grade GAMEPLAY, well I agree that there is TONS of that in iPhone games, web games, casual, etc.
I really don't see much of a debate or even an issue, really ! There's B-style, and B-grade. The latest Shellshock is a B-Grade through and through, for example.

|Raymond Grier
Though I'm a little disappointed at the amount of attention this article received as opposed to many others, I feel obligated to point out the missing piece of the puzzle.
The first paragraph of the article touched on what's missing. The earliest most classic B movies were unintentional but they were also not considered B movies at the time they were made. Traditionally a B movie was taken seriously by the viewers, not just the makers, at the time it was released. These classics weren't considered B rated until they were supplanted by better quality productions in following years. It is only the last 2 decades that we have considered it possible to make a B movie intentionally and, as someone else pointed out above, these are parodies and not true B movies.
To find a true B game one must look to old classic games that were great when they were released but are both laughable now and yet still playable.
|Dave Beaudoin
What I'm seeing from all this discussion is the basic idea that in order to "succeed" in making a B movie or game the most important thing is that as a creator you have to do the core thing well. That is, you have to make a technically "good" movie or a well designed game. As long as we're still looking at movies for inspiration in this discussion, it is also important to consider that many of the classic B movies were not only cult hits, but actively changed the direction of cinema. Movies like Evil Dead, Bad Taste, and El Mariachi directly influenced some of the biggest block busters to come out of hollywood. I think these sort of niche movies, which were technically excellent but may at first blush appear to be too strange to be accepted by the mainstream have more in common with games like Katamari Damacy. I would tend to consider the first Katamari (at the very least) a B Game in the sense we're talking about. It featured an utterly ridiculous cast of characters and an over the top premise but also thoughtful and well designed game play. Maybe by focusing on the "bad" part of the game we're not looking in the right places for the elusive "B Game."
|Blayne Williams
The whole time I was reading this article one game was screaming in my mind as the perfect example that this is phenomenally difficult, but fully possible.
GOD HAND for the PS2.
First, this is literally a B Game as it was a discount title from the get go and clearly made on a budget. Enemies are palette swapped and reused, graphics are of a low standard for the release date. The story is over the top, ridiculous, and at times flat out offensive to a number of minorities. The gameplay is entirely unforgiving, punishing the player for all but the most skillful execution. It is also incredibly repetitive, simply increasing in difficultly as the game goes on. IGN gave the game a 3/10, stating "God Hand quickly becomes a boring, annoying and frustrating game. "
Despite all that, it sits at a 73% on MetaCritic with and 8.5 average from users and 75% on GameRankings, VideoGaiden declared it one of the best videogames ever, and I personally replay the whole things ever 3-6 months. The gameplay, story, and presentation is only enjoyable to a very specific demographic, but to those specific people it is phenomenal. The game didn't sell overly well and can be found on eBay for a mere 10-20 bucks.
You should really check the game out as I feel it is the perfect example of what you are considering.
|Jamie Roberts
It's surprising that only one person so far has picked out the fact that the stories in almost every game rely on B movie material. In my opinion most of the current glut of games will be designated "B" games far down the line, when we have moved away from stereotypical sci-fi/fantasy tropes. B movies bring on the cheese, and most videogame stories have cheese in spades already. They just have a much lower standard to live up to.
|An Dang
I'm not sure if this game falls into the category of "B Game," but it is one of my favorite games of all time: Earthbound.

A new Eurobarometer study on tourism revealed that almost three quarters of Cypriots failed to go on holiday last year because of economic concerns.
According to the report, 'financial reasons' was the reason given by 69% of Cypriots in response to a question on why they did not go on holiday in 2013.
Cyprus was one of 12 countries with at least 50% of their respondents citing this reason and had the second highest percentage, coming after only Greece's 74%.
Also among the top four were Bulgaria and Serbia both with 66%.
The report noted that Cyprus' percentage had increased by 13 percentage points compared to the previous year, the second highest increase following only Serbia's 17.
Amongst the Cypriot asked if their plans for 2014 getaways had changed compared to previous years, 33% said they would still go on holiday but planned to spend less. Greece's figure stood at 39% and Cyprus' percentage was shared by Slovenia and FYROM while the European average was 20%.
Cyprus is also top of the list of four countries where over a fifth of people have not yet made any decisions about their 2014 holidays: Cyprus (31%), Malta (27%), FYROM (23%) and Estonia (22%).
However, it is not among the four countries where over a fifth of respondents say they will not take any trips at all this year, the highest proportions being in Estonia (25%), Turkey (24%), Hungary (22%) and Portugal (22%). As for holidays within the EU, more than half of the respondents in 12 EU countries, including Cyprus, say that they are planning this kind of holiday.
Luxembourg (76%) has the highest proportion of respondents who intend to travel to another EU country, followed by Malta (72%), Belgium (68%) and Cyprus (68%).
"Fewer than half of the respondents from Cyprus (34%), Malta (40%) and FYROM (45%) mentioned recommendations from friends, family or colleagues as important when making their travel plans," the report said
It said that less than a quarter (23%) of Cypriots also considered personal experience important.

Top Prospect Gets Absolutely Leveled: 20 Game Suspension?
Tomas Kuhnhackl (Pens Draft Pick) absolutely leveled Ryan Murphy of the Kitchener Rangers (Canes 1st Rd Pick). The verdict: 20 game suspension. What are your thoughts on this hit? If this happened like 3 or 4 years ago, I think it might just be a 1 game suspension and fine, maybe. But was it really a necessary hit. He went to pick up the puck, missed it, and the guy flies at him at full speed. Jeeeeez, poor guy. Here's hoping for a healthy recovery for Murphy.

"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"Y'all did an amazing job on our cards! I could not believe How fast they got to me as we'll! The quality Is awesome too! I was so proud to send them to My friends and family! I am impressed with Tiny Prints And I will be using them ALOT!!! :)"
"Had second thoughts but when the card came it was absolutely beautiful. The pictures are a good size and they allowed me to showcase my 2 children and all their activities. My only complaint is that the box for my christmas 'letter' was a little small. The card stock is very thick and luxurious and made an impact when delivered. Everyone thought that the card was stunning. This is my third christmas with tiny prints and always wonder if they can get better. Every card has been different from the other and they have never failed to impress. thanks!"
"I have used tiny prints for about five years...always pleased. This year my photo was delayed due to photographer so I opted for New Years card. ...and paid extra postage for fast delivery. All went well."
"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."

10Some People Need to Just Not Talk
And right now, that person is Jessica Biel.
In a recent interview, Jessica made some comments about her financial worries that pissed a lot of people off (and by "a lot of people," I mostly mean me and a couple other bloggers):
Biel told Radio 1: "Since I was so young when I started I didn't think about it. I just liked it, it was fun. But as I got older and started to become an adult and then had to get a car and have to pay for insurance and all those things… it's a huge worry."
The 28-year-old added: "For example, I haven't worked at all this year. I haven't made a film so I haven't had a pay cheque and I won't do anything until September and I don't know if I'll do anything after.
"It's always up in the air constantly. My life is very much a question mark when the next pay cheque is coming in and even when it seems like you make enough money, you sometimes don't know when the next cheque is coming in."
Really? You are a movie star. You were on 7th Heaven. You are banging Justin Timberlake. There is absolutely no need for you to cry about your money woes, and if there is, then maybe you need to doing cocaine cut with stardust and filling your swimming pool with pirate gold, because that's the only way I can figure you'd be in financial trouble.

Basing on the way you write Emily, I can see how unhappy you are with yourself and your life. You rant meaningless things most of the time.
I agree! And maybe she spent all her money on all those hideous clothes she has been wearing lately. Especially that unfortunate yellow suit.
i liked this post emily! i really love a lot of the stuff you write :)
WTF is wrong with you whiners? – emily is absolutely right! boo hoo, cry me a river, money bags biel. y'all, she's trying so hard to show us "common folk" she can be just like us, but what a load of crap.
Well…. think about it. Sure Biel used to star on a TV show and has been in some movies, but she is a shit actor. I wouldn't call her a movie star. She is not a star. She isn't getting the rolls and she's right when she says she hasn't been working. And like most people (myself included), my "money" is tied up in investments (mortgage, retirement plans etc). I don't have tons of cash to throw around, even with a steady pay cheque. I can see how it would be tough for a shit actor like Biel who hasn't worked in over a year and hasn't been getting ANY income. She is living off whatever little pittance she got from the shit roles you took in the past.
Look, she's got REAL issues! We just won't ever understand.

The Rock Island County Board is trying to decide the future of the Rock Island County Courthouse. The debate has been going on for years and now the issue will be on the ballot.
The Rock Island County Courthouse has been in disrepair for dozens of years. There is a leaky roof, mold, an enormous heating bill and sometimes pieces of the sandstone on the outside of the courthouse fall off. Fixing the problems will either require an extensive renovation or a brand new building, which will cost millions of dollars. So, the issue is going to a vote. However, what exactly will you be voting on?
"People will vote on the ability to let the public building commission to expand their powers to the full effect of the act," says RICO Board Member Don Johnston.
What that means is the county building commission will be able to find ways to pay for a new or renovated courthouse.
"All the building commission is there for is to give us a financial way to solve the problem," adds Johnston.
Right now, the commission only has power over the courthouse and jail, but the vote could also change that.
"It actually expands its powers to other facilities the counties may need, other than the criminal justice facility," says RICO Board Chair Phillip Banaszek.
Voting to expand the public building commission's power does not give the group complete control over the project.
"What that means is they still have to come back to the county board," adds Johnston, "Any project or action the building commission takes has to be initiated or approved by the county board. It doesn't give them exclusive powers to build anything."
Building a new courthouse or renovating the current one is badly needed.
"We're not in compliance with a lot of codes, and there are some ADA problems," adds Banaszek.
There are also problems with the county building, especially with roof repairs.
"Those are the kind of decisions over time we didn't make and now we're paying for it," says Johnston, "Frankly a lot of it is our fault as the county board."
Putting the issue on the ballot re-starts the process to find a solution not only for the courthouse, but possibly for the administration building too.
"This is just the first step, when we get past this point than we get into the plan, the design, the needs assessment and go from there," says Banaszek, "We can start talking money too."
Voters will head to the polls on April 9th. If they decide not to expand the building commission's powers the project will still move forward. The county board will have to find another way to get the off the ground.

Sunday Scavenger HuntPosted by Josie on Nov 12, 2012 in Fun, Kai, Moments, Parenting | 2 comments
Wellies on, folks. Fetch clipboards and pens. Pack a bag with chocolate buttons to bribe them with half way round when they lose interest. Plan a route and make up your list of things you're likely to see in your little space of the world (it's a good feeling to get home with all the boxes ticked) and have a big pile of cake or the equivalent waiting back home to reward your grubby, small adventurers with.
Kai knows our neighbourhood pretty well so drew us a map of where he thought we should go. Getting him to draw his own version of our 'treasure list' helped to give him a mental map of the things we were looking for so he stood a better chance of remembering them on our way round (it also killed some time while I had a shower. Ha.)
We decided on a BONUS sheet too – good to add to if you reach a bit of the walk where you treasure items are a little unforthcoming. Ours was leaves of different colours, with spaces to stick down leaves of each colour as we spotted them (pack sellotape).
Next time I want to do a sounds list. Get them to listen for bird song, dogs barking, a car horn, the wind whooshing, wet branches dripping. I'd have liked to have had a list of a few more wildcards too – writing down the most interesting thing we saw that had been thrown away, writing down an unexpected sound we heard, or a word we saw written down. (*steers Kai past our urban graffitti*).
It was a beautiful morning for us. I hope you have as much fun as we did.
One hour, and one VERY illusive bug later (turns out bugs do NOT like damp November days) … RESULT.
Happy treasure hunting.
(NB. Not Hitler's dog. FOUR DOGS. Four ticks. Yikes)

Just a little over 2 weeks to go and once again we have not seen any official Suns draft coverage on suns.com .
Maybe this franchise should first learn to respect their fans again before they ask for patience to stick with the team. When we drafted Amare and Barbosa we got daily workout updates and videos and interviews with the players. Now we get nada in the last 8 years.
Reading suns articles by Paul Coro is a time waste too. There are maybe 2 or 3 articles per year that are worth reading. Either he has no passion for the team anymore or they don't give him much information anymore.

There's no greater joy than raising a child. Here's how to do it with a planet-friendly, healthy-kid bent:
Follow Mothers & Others New Green Diet, which will help you reduce exposure to synthetic pesticides, guard against certain cancers and high dioxin intake and increase your child's intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes and fiber. Also, heed fish advisories. See Healthy Child Healthy World's Safe Fish List.
Test peeling, chipped or cracking paint (especially on window sills and doors) for lead. See Detecting and Removing Lead Paint for more details. Another way lead exposure can happen in the home is through lead pipes, so test your water, too.
The EPA has begun a campaign for Smoke-Free Homes, based on findings that infants exposed to secondhand smoke have increased health problems.
These include household cleaners, drugs, toiletries, cosmetics, toxic glues and solvents. Keep them out of the reach of children. Buy or make non-toxic, unscented household cleaners using our Recipes for Safer Cleaners and look for low-VOC (volatile organic compounds), less-toxic home furnishings and paints.
Use Integrated Pest Management to control pests. For information on least-toxic alternatives, contact Beyond Pesticides/NCAMP.
Call your water company for test results on your public water supply, which is called a Consumer Confidence Report. You may want to have your tap water tested for lead, which can leach from pipes and solder in water mains (see #2, above). There are other possible contaminants to test for, as well. In most cases, water filtration will clean up any problems.

Local International Relations Expert Weighs in on Libyan UprisingBy Daniel Cherry | Published 22 Aug 2011 08:04pm |
As rebel forces continue to gain control in Libya, a Mississippi International Relations expert weighs in. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports how the change of command in North Africa could affect Mississippi.
Rebels control most of the Libyan capitol of Tripoli. Dr. Glenn Antizzo is Co-Political Science Chair and International Relations expert at Mississippi College. He says it's hard to tell which faction of the rebel group will gain power.
"Some are secular. Some are Muslim, and the glue that held them together is now gone. So what happens next? Are you going to get Jeffersonian Democracy? Probably not. Are you going to get something that resembles democracy? That remains to be seen. There's really no history of it."
Dr. Antizzo says there is a very high probability of continued U.S. involvement in Libya as the country continues to transition power. But he does say, through all the turmoil, there might be a bright spot for Americans.
"I think it's going to, believe it or not, going to bring oil prices down. You don't have instability and warfare that could potentially disrupt the flow of oil from that region. We don't get a whole lot of oil from Libya ourselves, but Europe does. And anything that increases the international supply will bring prices down."
Crude oil prices are volatile right now, but experts say as Libyan production resumes prices could start falling.

• A round, oil-absorbing shape with indentations to keep that perfect fit.
• A round shape with moisturizing amino acid to prevent dryness.

Studio Conran Creates Branding for Petit Pois Cakes
London-based Studio Conran has created the identity, branding and packaging for new independent food company Petit Pois. The company's cakes, which are the brain-child of dynamic duo Ashley Maddox and Harry Eastwood, are made using vegetables instead of butter and some of the sugar. The product will launch in Selfridges Food Halls on March 15, 2011.
Appointed in January, Studio Conran was briefed to create a visual identity that conveyed a distinctively honest, natural and mischievous brand identity that interacted with the customer in a playful way, whilst reflecting the healthy yet stylish characteristics of the Petit Pois cakes.
Each cake has just the thinnest layer of icing and is topped with a little green marzipan pea to indicate that it's genuinely good for you. The design team created a logo which reflects the straightforward nature of the cakes—a simple green circle symbolising the cake's pea sits in the centre of the circular logo. The logo was integrated successfully into the packaging through the use of the green stripe running through the centre of the logo, which ties back to the idea that the pea symbolizing 'the craftsman's mark' is at the heart of what Petit Pois does. The logo's placement on the box with the green stripe running out from under it gives it the appearance of a rosette with a ribbon running over the box, adding to the playful nature of the presentation.
The retro rainbow palette adopted by the Studio Conran team for the packaging provides a happy balance between the organic and the eye-catching with each coloured stripe representing a different fruit or vegetable used by the company in their recipes. The packaging also includes a playful inner tray, which reveals the 'hidden vegetable ingredients' in a light-hearted and engaging way.
"The cakes themselves are obviously the star of the show but we've introduced vibrant, distinctive pantones in to the packaging that match the colours of the vegetables that Petit Pois use in their cakes. The packaging is fresh, contemporary and immediately recognizable, which is the least these delicious cakes deserve." Flo Bayley, Studio Conran.

More than eleven years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York City, the city's medical examiner has begun sifting through debris in search of human remains.
The medical examiner's office said the work began Monday and is expected to take ten weeks to complete.
Around 60 truckloads of construction debris have been collected around the site over the past two and a half years, according to city officials.
They said DNA testing will continue until every possible identification can be made.
More than 2,700 people died at the World Trade Center in the 2001 terrorist attacks. So far, more than 1,600 have been identified.

It starts small, but makes a big difference.
"There are some Sundays where I've gotten up and gone running and seen a bunch of trash and we've gone back out there later with some plastic bags and just tried to grab, you know, two that we can," said Guinn Garrett, a volunteer.
Volunteers like Garrett grabbed about 30 bags of trash Wednesday in downtown Charleston.
Organizers of the marsh cleanup event say the area under the Ravenel Bridge was flooded with trash.
"I'm really surprised of how much garbage is still left out there," said Marty Morganello, with the Charleston Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. "We barely scratched the surface."
For two hours, volunteers were up to their knees in water and mud in the marsh. They collected everything from tooth brushes to car batteries, and organizers say it's just in time for the Cooper River Bridge Run.
"It was perfect timing," explained Jennifer Scales, with Keep Charleston Beautiful. "Surfrider came to us, and we know the Bridge Run is right around the corner. We would love knowing that the many thousands of people coming over this bridge in Charleston, for the first thing they see is for it to be clean."
The City of Charleston's Keep Charleston Beautiful and the Charleston Chapter of Surfrider Foundation hosted the cleanup to remove litter from the area.
"I think litter prevention is really important," added Garrett. "A lot of people don't realize that the water that's on our land ends up in our waterways."
Wednesday's cleanup will not only help keep the marsh clean and safe for wildlife, it will help maintain the beauty of the area, but the work isn't done yet.
"You can't take two steps without seeing a bottle," Morganello said. "It's like it was an old dump at one time or something."
Another cleanup event has already been planned for next month.

It's not uncommon to be blinded by your own opinions when it comes to cars. Kids are very open to new ideas and things, and they're far less judgemental. Sometimes kids have the ability to force us to see things that we, as adults, would probably overlook. It's true and you know it too.
This QOTD is very simple. Did you do the homework that I gave you yesterday? Yes? Oh, excellent! Please turn it in the comments.
My husband and I questioned our son and here are his answers. He answered in NZSL, but I translated into English.
"What do you like the most about cars?"
"They take me to school and places to hike and take photos."
"What do you hate the most about cars?"
"They look the same."
Just to clarify the last answer, he was talking about new cars that are common like Civics and Corollas.
Unsurprisingly, we agree with him. Not bad for someone who like motorcycles and quad bikes more than cars.
Were you surprised with the answers from your kids or young relatives?

ByJoe -Shmoe- Tallahassee FL
Wonderful TV. Just got the idea on the wall yesterday evening. No complaints. Should you be running your cords through the drywall pertaining to appearances then I might recommend using the Straight talk samsung Ultra Slim Wall structure Mount. You dangle the TV like a photograph on the wall. This mount doesnt list this TV to compatible but it works well on mine. The actual inputs for the Television set are straight over back instead of simultaneous with the wall while on the LED-type sets the reason it isnt stated as being compatible with your mount. If you run your cabling within the drywall anyway at all like me it doesnt matter. Its nearly as slim as the Guided sets and it looks great

CONS: I am a world-class Christmas shopper. When I'm in "the zone", my vision is nothing but cascading zeroes and ones, as if I see things on a more basic level like something out "The Matrix". My essence becomes in tune with both the moon and the tides and when it's all said and done, I emerge triumphant, arms filled with gifts and knowing that for at least one day a year, I'll be able to satisfy a woman.
But for some reason, the Mall St. Matthews totally knocks me off my game (even on those visits where I'm not suffering from alcohol-induced brain damage). Maybe it has less to do with what they have, and more to do with what they don't have.
First and foremost, what happened to the oversized chess board? For years, the reason you went to the Mall was to impress ladies with your ability to dominate unsupervised children at chess, while tens of local shoppers cheered on each brilliant move. (Of course, the only thing to do was cheer on losers like me as back in the day the Mall consisted of little more than a Radio Shack and a homeless dude selling stolen copies of Highlights magazine.) I think I speak for most men in Louisville when I say that if not for that chessboard, I would have never lost my virginity.
Also gone is World Bazaar, the best source for totally random yet completely awesome stuff. I always felt that I could walk into that placed blindfolded, grab any piece of wicker bulls**t, and know that on Christmas Day, I'd look like a really thoughtful dude who knew a few things about home décor, but really just got lucky with some wooden elephant thing that sort of looked like Ganesha, the Hindu Lord of Obstacles.
You know what else is gone? Dawahares, NRM Music, and the Hungry Pelican, which is significant because I've worked at all three of them at various points in my life. I'd like to offer any number of crazy conspiracy theories as to why they are gone, but it's probably just because of A) my inability to sell, or even care about women's shoes, which may have cost Dawahares much needed profits, B) my unyielding belief that Zeppelin rules which could make it very difficult for a customer who just wanted to buy that crappy Quad City DJs cd , and C) I might have once dropped a used band-aid in the hush puppy batter and didn't notice until it was too late.
On this day, the lack of a Hungry Pelican was particularly painful as I could have really gone for a greasy fish sandwich. Damn, that place was awesome. It tasted like how I imagine it would taste if Tim Tebow scored a touchdown in my mouth.

Scientists at the University of Florida in Gainesville have developed an airport baggage scanner that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to help uncover explosives in checked airline baggage. The new system compares the specific colors of UV light absorbed as bags pass beneath the scanner along the conveyor belt. The new technology works with existing airport X-ray conveyor belts and, according to its developer, is able to scan 100 percent of luggage for explosives with 95-percent accuracy.
TAG Aviation (UK) has become the first UK operator to receive CAA authorization to use Apple iPads as Class 1 electronic flight bags. TAG pilots are replacing paper documents and charts with iPad apps such as Vistair DocuNet (a document management and distribution program) and Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck (terminal charts and other aeronautical documents). TAG Aviation is planning to seek regulatory approval for paperless cockpits in other countries where it holds air operator certificates, including Switzerland, Spain, UAE (Bahrain) and China (Hong Kong).
A good few years ago I was a flight attendant on a charter trip out of Boca Raton, and we had a body to transport north of the border. The deceased man and his family were Jewish, and under Jewish religious law you have to be buried within 24 hours. Still in shock, the family was making these arrangements swiftly to get their loved one's body back to Canada for burial.
Airbus has taken steps to resolve what remains the bane of air travelers' lives: lost baggage, which it estimates is a $2.6 billion problem annually. Better still, its new Bag2Go program raises the possibility of passengers being able to let their bags travel independently and arrive in a timely way at their final destination. Through a partnership with German baggage maker Rimowa and communications group T-Mobile, the airframer has tapped radio frequency identification technology to create a so-called intelligent suitcase that can be dispatched and tracked from the passenger's smartphone.
Gama Aviation's Middle East division has selected the Web Manuals Sweden electronic flight bag (EFB) app for the iPad. Web Manuals promises customers such as Gama (Booth 1155) to improve control of its documentation, legal compliance and "operational agility." Flight crew at Gama Aviation will get instant cockpit access to all relevant manuals and other documents.
A TSA inspector at McGhee-Tyson Airport (TYS) in Knoxville, Tenn., confiscated a loaded .38-caliber handgun from a woman on March 21 after removing it from her carry-on luggage. The TSA officer noticed the weapon as the bag passed through the X-ray screening machine. The weapon's owner was carrying an expired gun permit and told officials she had forgotten she was carrying the weapon. The TSA confiscated 16 firearms from people attempting to board aircraft at TYS last year.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wants to know how a male U.S. citizen boarded and flew aboard an Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul, South Korea, all the way to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with a smoke grenade in his checked baggage.
The man, whose journey originated in Japan, was arrested at LAX wearing a bulletproof vest and flame-retardant pants as he tried to check in for a domestic flight to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS).
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) expects to issue a final rule designed to further consumer protections against tarmac delays of more than three hours and expand other passenger rights initiatives in April, a department spokesman told AIN this week.
Dart Helicopter's Apical Industries has received EASA approval for its Tri-Bag Emergency Float System on the AgustaWestland A119/AW119 Mk II. The system includes two forward and two aft bags and a baggage compartment reservoir option. It is available with or without external life rafts and is compatible with ground-handling wheels. With bags deployed, the helicopter can be water towed at speeds up to 10 knots.

Debt Collection Lawyers Among Those Who Will Be Scrutinized by Consumer Financial Agency
Posted Oct 24, 2012 8:14 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued its final rule for oversight of debt collectors—and lawyers didn't get an exemption.
The rule allows the CFPB to send field examiners to law offices of debt collection attorneys to review procedures and compliance, the National Law Journal reports.
Any firm with more than $10 million in annual receipts from debt collection activities will be subject to the agency's authority beginning on Jan. 2, according to the NLJ, the New York Times and the Washington Post. About 63 percent of the debt-collection industry is affected.
The CFPB did narrow a definition, however, in response to a letter (PDF) by the ABA Business Law Section's Committee on Consumer Financial Services, the NLJ story says. "The Bureau agrees that not every occasion on which an attorney seeks money from a consumer client constitutes debt collection," the rule states. Rather, the CFPB has supervisory authority of debt collection efforts by those "whose principal business activity is debt collection."

System In 20 Words Or Less: The 2010 draft and one international signee transforms the system with a trio of ultra-high ceiling teenage arms.
Five-Star Prospects
1. James Taillon, RHP
2. Stetson Allie, RHP
Four-Star Prospects
3. Luis Heredia, LHP
4. Tony Sanchez, C
Three-Star Prospects
5. Rudy Owens, LHP
6. Bryan Morris, RHP
7. Starling Marte, OF
8. Jeff Locke, LHP
9. Diego Moreno, RHP
Two-Star Prospects
10. Colton Cain, LHP
11. Zack Von Rosenberg, RHP
Nine More:
12. Mel Rojas, Jr., OF: This third-round pick is a big, athletic switch-hitter with plus speed and some power potential, but is very raw.
13. Zack Dodson, LHP: He's a lefty who has potential for three solid offerings, but projects as back-end starter.
14. Alex Presley, OF: Presley is a diminutive outfielder who can hit, but he doesn't profile well for a corner due to a lack of power.
15. Gorkys Hernandez, OF: He's one of the best defensive outfielders in the minors, but will he ever hit?
16. Chase D'Arnaud, SS: D'Arnaud collapsed at Double-A in 2011, but he still offers a decent approach and speed.
17. Andrew Lambo, OF: This former Dodgers prospect has seen his stock fall due to poor performances and drug suspensions. The Pirates believe in the bat, and a good showing so far in the Arizona Fall League is creating optimism.
18. Nick Kingham, RHP: This 2010 fourth-rounder is big and projectable, but he's more of a thrower than a pitcher for now.
19. Josh Harrison, INF: An ex-Cubs prospect, Harrison can put a bat on the ball, but like Presley, he's tiny and offers few secondary skills.
20. Quincy Latimore, OF: He's a compact athlete who had minor a breakout year with 19 home runs and 100 RBI

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on October 11, 2012 at 4:29 PM.
The National Steel Bridge Alliance is offering a five-day course, presented by the National Highway Institute, on LRFD Analysis and Design of Skewed and Horizontally Curved Steel Highway Bridges October 22-26 at the University of Richmond, Va.
Led by Michael Grubb of Grubb & Associates, Inc., and John Yadlosky of HDR, Inc., the course applies the principles of LRFD to the analysis and design of skewed and horizontally curved steel highway bridges. It provides a combination of discussions and workshop exercises focusing primarily on skewed and horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges, and the accompanying Reference Manual also includes design examples for horizontally curved steel box-girder bridges. For structural applications, the curriculum follows the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design specifications, 5th Edition, 2010 (AASHTO LRFD Specifications).
Upon completion of the course, participants will receive 31 PDHs/3.1 CEUs and be able to:
- Describe the bridge superstructure analysis, design, fabrication and construction process for skewed or horizontally curved steel I-girder superstructures and for horizontally curved steel box-girder superstructures in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Specifications
- Illustrate the application of the AASHTO LRFD Specifications to the analysis and design process for skewed and curved steel-bridge superstructures, taking into account erection and construction considerations
- Demonstrate understanding of analysis and design specification requirements for skewed and curved steel girder bridges through the completion of participant exercises and guided walkthroughs and the review of design examples

Nomura recently published its Global FX Outlook 2012 report. In it, Senior Political Analyst Alastair Newton lists his top ten geopolitical issues that will drive markets in 2012. And he makes no secret that Eurozone and U.S. policy decisions will by far be the most significant drivers of 2012.
"Throughout 2012 we expect markets to continue to be buffeted by politics and policy," said Newton. "Indeed, so great is the current political uncertainty – and related risk – in Europe and in the US that we anticipate having to update our outlook at least once and perhaps several times before January is over."
