A Brief History of Brad Pitt Casting Himself as a Savior
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on January 28, 2014 | Comments (3)After the first Sunday of March, movie star Brad Pitt might be an Academy Award winner — not for his acting, but for his role as producer. His production company, Plan B, has been deployed since 2006 as a platform for making films (many that star or co-star Pitt, and a few that don't) largely outside of the franchise and sequel mentality that a name brand like Pitt would otherwise be subject to. Pitt is hardly the first example of an actor who exchanges celebrity capital for some industrial and artistic autonomy – examples of powerful actors who have used the capacity of producer to buck the studio system go as far back as Humphrey Bogart – but Plan B is unique particularly because it's been utilized as a means for Pitt to rather self-consciously define himself against any conventional understanding of his movie star image. Rather than use the production arm as a means for gritty, challenging, Hollywood-unfriendly lead roles (as Bogart did with In a Lonely Place), Pitt is casting himself conspicuously on the margins of his own work, often in supporting roles that have in common characters who somehow omnisciently perceive a bigger picture than what's available to the foregrounded characters around him. These are characters that exist inside and outside the narratives of their films simultaneously.
How 'Out of the Furnace' and 'Killing Them Softly' Make Sense of 2008's American Dream
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on December 10, 2013 | Be the First To Comment"There are now two Americas. My country is a horror show." The above summary is of an an impromptu speech The Wire showrunner David Simon delivered at "The Festival of Dangerous Ideas" in Sydney this week. Simon's work as producer has been characterized by a distinct effort to represent the "great horror show" America he mentions – the America without social mobility, the America where people are left to survive in the marginal social position they've inherited, the America without special interest groups to make a perpetual underclass visible in the media and worth pandering to for politicians' votes. The Wire, as Simon attests directly, sought to represent the conditions and lives of people who are "economically worthless," a series that lent a rare lens to ordinary people's endurance in the face of total invisibility in the public sphere. Mainstream contemporary movies and television shows have, perhaps until very recently, almost exclusively surveyed the lives of those with considerable economic worth: audiences with expendable income that can be advertised to during commercial breaks or be expected to buy most movie tickets. But Out of the Furnace and Killing Them Softly – both of which take place in 2008 and were released almost exactly a year apart – offer an incisive lens into a hermetically sealed, economically deprived, and otherwise underrepresented American underclass.
The world lost a robust acting presence on Wednesday. It was obvious looking at James Gandolfini that the big guy was powerful, but his work was often so fragile and nuanced that he had no trouble crawling into our veins. No one did vulnerable tough guys quite as well as he did, leaving his footprint on television and film screens alike. With that in mind, we put the entirety of his career to our panel of writers, asking simply: what is James Gandolfini's best performance? Their answers (and a place for your own) can be found below.
The One Where I Vote for 'Lincoln,' 'Veep,' the GLOW Girls and Two New Candidates from Scream Factory
Features By Rob Hunter on March 25, 2013 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Beautiful Girls Willie Conway (Timothy Hutton) has returned home for his high school reunion at a very confused time in his life. His long time girlfriend (Annabeth Gish) joins him on the trip as he visits with friends, strikes up a purely platonic relationship with a 15-year-old neighbor girl (Natalie Portman) and decides if he's ready to settle down and get married. The late Ted Demme has a few fine films to his name including The Ref and Blow, but this sweet, honest and funny movie remains his high point. Portman's perfect encapsulation of the untouchable teen is fantastic in every regard, but to be fair her storyline is only a small part of the whole. Willie's friends (Matt Dillon, Noah Emmerich, Max Perlich, Michael Rapaport, Rosie O'Donnell and more) run the gamut of emotional stages as some are satisfied with their lives and others are not, but all of them feel authentic. The story threads fold together so effortlessly, the performances feel so real and the Blu-ray debut is long overdue. Also, Natalie Portman. [Blu-ray extras: None]
Broken Projector Podcast: Jake Gittes Saves the Cat (with Andrew Dominik and Max Allan Collins)
Broken Projector By Scott Beggs on March 22, 2013 | Be the First To CommentFilms noir, crime novels and detective stories all have a long history of unlikable characters that we cheer for. Bad guys doing good work. Flawed heroes who always know the right line to say and the right time to offer a lady a light.

Video On Demand Power Ranker: 'Life of Pi' Leads a Pack of Wild Movies Into Your Living Room
Features By Neil Miller on March 21, 2013 | Be the First To CommentYou may be asking yourself, what is the Video On Demand Power Ranker? It's quite simple, really. Every week, more and more films are coming to your home entertainment systems prior to hitting the shelves of Blu-ray and DVD. Sometimes even before or during their theatrical run, you can get at this films on your cable box, your Roku, your Apple TV, your iPad, whatever other tablets exist that aren't the iPad, and plenty of other devices. With that in mind, we've built a space-age supercomputer chip and implanted it into my brain. Combined with my brain's higher film-loving function, this silicon-based hyper-drive calculates which Video On Demand titles are best each week, complete with a handy 1-10 ranking. Video On Demand. Power. Ranker. Got it? Great. Let's get to it…
Box Office: 'Twilight' Gets Back On Top of James Bond
Box Office By Neil Miller on December 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn an off week at the box office, it was the battle of three holdover releases, with all of the new films dropping well down the charts. From Killing Them Softly's lukewarm 7th place finish to horror film The Collection, it was not a great weekend to be new to theaters. The films with previously built success — from the wildly passionate fanbase film (Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2) to the one with a half-century of history (Skyfall) to the one with Oscar written all over it (Lincoln) — were the ones that brought home the bank in an otherwise warm weekend.
Andrew Dominik, 'Killing Them Softly' Director: "I'm Not Interested in Ordinary People"
Features By Jack Giroux on November 30, 2012 | Comments (1)Killing Them Softly is both a surprising and unexpected return for director Andrew Dominik, whose name has been missing from the big screen for five long years. What's most surprising about the film is that it's not much more commercial than his previous film, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, a movie which didn't nearly get its due back in 2007. His latest film is, however, unsurprising in terms of theme: the power of the dollar. After Jesse James didn't light the world on fire financially, Dominik found it difficult to get other projects off the ground, so money must have been on his mind. And, according to Dominik, it was, and that's a part of how we got his new political crime picture, Killing Them Softly. Here is what writer and director Andrew Dominik had to say about the film's slightly cartoonish approach, why the crime genre is so appealing, and the trials and tribulations caused by Jesse James:
Review: 'Killing Them Softly' Provokes As It Entertains
Movie Reviews By Jack Giroux on November 30, 2012 | Comments (4)After only about five people paid to see Andrew Dominik's beautifully poetic The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the popular belief was that any director in that position would follow up his ambitious financial failure with something more commercial. While Killing Them Softly has far more public appeal than Jesse James, Dominik has fortunately made another film unafraid to polarize. Set in 2008, following the economic collapse, mobsters have been seeking easier ways to make a quick buck or two, there is no clear order left, and, in this America, as the smooth contract killer Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) puts it, you're on your own. Cogan — who's sort of the protagonist — is brought down to New Orleans after a series of robberies hit Markie Trattman's (Ray Liotta) poker games. With criminals afraid to play and spend their money, it's Cogan's job to get them back to playing, by finding the two men responsible for the latest theft, two big time losers named Frankie (Scoot McNairy, now holding the record for the most number of irritating characters in a single year) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn). This reads as all fairly simple, but there's more to this story than the trailers have been leading us to believe. Killing Them Softly is, in fact, almost more of an angry, loud voicemail left for the politicians who aren't all that different from the lost, scrambling criminals we see in the film.
Movie News After Dark: Who Will Guard The Galaxy? How Will Movies Make Money Without Piracy? Pizza!
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 28, 2012 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? According to everything that has happened in tonight's entry already, it appears to be quite inquisitive. All of your questions and more will be answered. Tonight's lead story is also tonight's leading non-story about leading men. Who will be the leader of Guardians of the Galaxy, the next big Marvel Studios project that supposedly has James Gunn in the directors chair. Deadline offers up a list of guys who you've seen on the big screen recently, courtesy of Tammy's brother Joey's cousin Suzie who knows a guy, but not that well. So there's that.
October offered up plenty of films to give this awards season a proper start. Ben Affleck once again showed he's got one of the best eyes for tension working today; John Hawkes gave another year's best performance in Fox Searchlight's The Sessions; Martin McDonagh made another wicked, original dark comedy with real bite; and, who could forget, The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer made a huge box office smash which received unabashed praise up the wazoo, especially for the seamless makeup work. While I wish Cloud Atlas did fit that description, at least for a few more years the trio's daring and moving film will go down as a box office bomb which may or may have not been ahead of its time. No matter how Cloud Atlas stands up in a few years, it was the type of ambition which served as another reminder of how important going to the movie theater is and to truly have experiences while you are there, be they good or bad. With November 2012, there are plenty of movies to have a similar experience with, from Ang Lee's Life of Pi to a triumphant new Bond movie. Keep reading to find out what other eight movies you must see this month.

'Killing Them Softly' Gets Moved Again, All the Better for Awards-Baiting
Movie News By Kate Erbland on September 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAfter the box office bust and critical disappointment of their Lawless (hey! I liked it!), The Weinstein Company has pushed back their potential awards contender, Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly, to the more awards-friendly date of November 30. The film was last slated for a release on October 19, after being moved there in July, when TWC moved it off its first release date (September 21) after they announced that The Master (another one of their awards contenders) would open in limited release on September 14 and then expand on September 21. In regards to the choice, Deadline Hollywood reports (via /Film) that Harvey Weinstein commented, ""In this industry it is a very rare event to look at a weekend where your movie could open as the only wide release picture…November 30th will allow us to bring Killing Them Softly to a wide audience without competition. Additionally, the critical response to the movie has been very favorable especially on the amazing performances and November 30th positions us better in the Awards season calendar." Two points for honesty. Simon saw Killing Them Softly back during Cannes, and he called it "an artfully crafted, occasionally very funny satire dressed up in tough-guy leathers and packing a knuckle duster punch." Check out his review HERE, and give the film's trailer a look right HERE.
'Killing Them Softly' Trailer Highlights the Absurdity, Violence and Style of Andrew Dominik's Third Feature
Movie News By Rob Hunter on August 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAndrew Dominik is not a prolific director. After bursting onto the scene in 2000 with the violent biographical tale Chopper he waited seven years before releasing the critically acclaimed The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford with Brad Pitt. The film was universally praised by critics, but theater-goers have notoriously short attention spans meaning most of them moved on to something else before they even finished reading the title. (The 'something else' in this case was a one-two punch of Resident Evil: Extinction and Good Luck Chuck, so shame on you America.) Five years later and Dominik is finally returning to the screen, and he's bringing Pitt along with him. Killing Them Softly is a blackly humorous crime thriller about a pair of low-rent amateurs who rob the wrong poker game. Pitt plays a mob man brought in to find and handle the pair, and the film follows his efforts arrange for their demise while interacting with the local criminal element. The film is an adaptation of George V Higgins' 1974 novel Cogan's Trade, and while it updates the story to the modern day it keeps the Boston setting that has served the genre so well over the years. Pitt's joined by Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Sam Shepard, Ben Mendelsohn and Scoot McNairy. Our own Simon Gallagher was a big fan when he saw it at Cannes, and now the rest of us can get a taste as well with the debut of the highly […]
Rejoice! Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' Moves Up to September
Movie News By Kate Erbland on July 27, 2012 | Comments (4)Looks like The Weinstein Company is doing a little end-of-week clean-up, as Variety (via ComingSoon) has now gotten word that the production company has moved around a couple of its major awards season contenders. First up, everybody's most anticipated fall film, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, has moved up to September 14. The film was last scheduled to open on October 12. The Philip Seymour Hoffman- and Joaquin Phoenix-starrer will now open on the 14th in limited release, with an expansion on the following Friday, September 21. This puts the film against the Finding Nemo 3D re-release, Resident Evil: Retribution, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Liberal Arts. It's interesting that TWC has announced this move now, after a few days of fevered chatter about why The Master was not headed to any big upcoming festivals – like Venice and TIFF. It also removes the possibility that the film would pop up at Fantastic Fest as a big surprise. With FF kicking off on September 20, perhaps The Master will open the festival, as it's quite likely that the festival's hometown, Austin, TX (what what!), will not get the film during its first week limited run. Here's to hoping.
Movie News After Dark: Killing Them Softly, The Dark Knight Rises, Breaking Bad and The Wonder Years
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 12, 2012 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column about movies that's been kickin' ass and takin' names since the sun came up, but for some reason it still waited until late at night to bring you all the movie news of the day. It's eccentric like that. We begin tonight with an image of Ben Mendelsohn and Scoot McNairy in Killing Them Softly, Andrew Dominik's new film based on the adaptation of the novel "Cogan's Trade." They are but two of the badass names attached to said project, which includes Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta and Sam Shepard, among others. Not bad.
Cannes 2012: We Pick Who Should Have Won With the Annual FSR Awards
Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLast year, I kicked off the FSR Cannes Awards by taking the opportunity to give three awards to The Artist (three of the Oscars it won actually, if you're interested in just how much of a boss I am), and though there isn't quite the same standout type of film at this year's festival, there were some notable highlights. The rain was not one of them. This year, I saw 21 of the hundreds of films available to see, so these awards obviously only take in those that I deemed worthy of my attention (or which were possible to see given the intense mathematical equations required to see everything and write reviews of them all in timely enough fashion that all of the key information doesn't bugger off out of your head). Here are my own highlights of the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival:
Top 12 Performances From Cannes 2012: Kidman, Hedlund, and Cusack?! Oh My!
Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 29, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLast year's Cannes Film Festival featured this year's Oscar winning Best Actor performance thanks to the inclusion of the wonderful The Artist in competition, and though the films seem to have been chosen for their artistry and provocative subtexts more than any really commercial pointers (as always happens the year after the festival is deemed "too commercial"), there have been some seriously fine performances this year as well. There wasn't an Uggy this year, but there was a murdered pooch in Moonrise Kingdom, a bitey Killer Whale in Rust & Bone, and a striking performance from an armadillo in Bernardo Bertolucci's Me and You, so we'll have to wait and see who emerges with the best animal performance. Probably won't come from Madagascar 3 though…so for the time being, let's stick to the humans.
Cannes Review: Andrew Dominik's 'Killing Them Softly' Is An Artfully Crafted Take on the Gangster Genre
Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 22, 2012 | Comments (1)Andrew Dominik always had an ominous mountain to climb with his next feature, having polarized opinion with The Assassination Of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford, that most tonal and visually textured of revisionist Westerns, but with Killing Them Softly he has certainly at least avoided the black hole that tends to suck young talents perilously down into obscurity. He might not, however, have scored a huge commercial hit. Taking a leaf out of Jesse James's book, Killing Them Softly is effectively a post-gangster film, deconstructing the genre and smashing it against the oh-so-contemporary wall built by recessions and austerity measures. The label might still seem to read "gangster," with the presence of wise guys and henchmen presiding over their own lawless patches of the murky underbelly of normal society, but gone is the aspirational elements of Goodfellas and Casino in favor of a tight-belted, thoroughly modern revision of the gangster ideal. For all intents and purposes, this is the cut-price Cosa Nostra.

By John Marshall
About 40 area farmers and ranchers attended a soil farming seminar Friday at the Geary Agri-plex. The seminar was sponsored by the North Canadian River Watershed 319 Project. Debi Carnott, education/outreach coordinator served as moderatror.
Guest speaker was J. Berton Fisher from Lithochimeia. He has worked professionally as a research scientist on matters related to the inorganic and organic geochemistry of the Earth for over 30 years.
Fisher spoke about the spreading of drilling mud and drill cuttings on pastureland, sometimes called "soil farming."
The chemicals and compounds used in the process are numerous, he said. Fisher described the process of decomposition and how to monitor the applications. Applications of these materials are extensive in western Canadian County. Landowners agree to have this material spread on their land by the oil companies.
Decomposition can take years for some of these materials, Fisher said. He said most plants are resistant to these cuttings and generally do not ingest the chemicals and compounds. He also said the same is true for cattle.
Fisher urged locals to take a "wait and see" approach to land that has been soil-farmed.
"It is up to you as landowner to monitor the effects of this," Fisher said. He said no agencies are monitoring the outcome of soil farming, so the landowners are the eyes and ears for any future issues or problems that could possibly arise.

Drones are a useful tool for delivering flags to football pitches, as Albania's supporters demonstrated on Tuesday night during their national team's match against Serbia, but they remain an extreme option for same-day parcel delivery.

In today's rough economic climate many vehicle owners are looking to save as much money as they can, and that would include getting as long a tread life out of their tires as possible.
Advances in tire technology have led to several tire models getting much higher mileage than they did just 10-20 years ago. In fact, some tires may get more miles than the actual vehicle they are put on.
Naturally, there can be a tradeoff for higher mileage and longer tire warranties, and that may be performance. With inherently harder tread compounds, softer sidewalls and higher UTQG ratings, they often reduce high performance handling and cornering power. But let's face it, drivers looking for a 100,000 mile tire are not the same drivers looking for new tread on their Chevy Corvette.
We've reviewed all of the various tire brands and models to come up with our list of the ten longest lasting maximum mileage tires. All of the tires listed have tread warranties of 80,000 miles and up. They are not listed in any particular order.

National Grid has operated an apprenticeship programme for over fifteen years, designed to give young people the skills and experience to become fully qualified engineers.
National Grid is an international electricity and gas company and one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the world. It employees approximately 10,400 people in the UK.
It currently has advanced apprenticeships in the UK electrical and gas transmission areas of its business. The number of apprenticeships available is largely dependent on business requirements but is usually around 40 per year.
The company currently offers an advanced apprenticeship in engineering maintenance gas transmission and an advanced technical apprenticeship for the electricity industry.
An apprenticeship typically lasts three years, depending on the programme.
"But, these are just guidelines," says Will Large, National Grid's technical programmes manager. "Our apprenticeships are based on the achievement of a specified set of outcomes. This means that the length of the programme may be reduced for apprentices who have previously gained relevant knowledge or experience that can be formally accredited."
Candidates apply via the National Grid website [new window] using an online application process. This becomes available in September, ready for those that are awarded places to begin the following September. It entails an application form that asks for basic details and a situational judgement questionnaire.
Candidates must have five GCSEs (grades A-C) including a minimum of a grade B in maths and be aged 16 or over at the start of the apprenticeship.
"We also take into consideration how far away candidates live from the base location to ensure that they can get to and from work easily," says Large.
Once the applications have been received, the company conducts telephone screening interviews with potential candidates. Successful candidates at this stage are invited to an assessment centre, which includes an interview, a manual dexterity test, a climbing assessment (where applicable), situational judgement test, a test for colour blindness and a qualifications validation.
National Grid's apprenticeship programmes comprise of the following elements:
Training delivery is a combination of formal and informal tuition, experiential learning, distance learning, computer-based training, projects and assignments.
Apprentices attend an off-the-job induction programme for the first four weeks of the programme. This is designed to welcome apprentices into the organisation and help them to make the transition from education to the workplace. They are then given a site induction before commencing work at their allocated base location.
Mentors are assigned for each apprentice for the duration of the programme to help them settle into their role and put their formal training into practice. Mentors are encouraged to meet with apprentices on a weekly basis while they complete their on-the-job training.
Each apprentice is given an individual learning and assessment plan, detailing the programme's content, estimated timescales for achievement, training venues, review periods and the name of their mentor. The apprentices' progress and all aspects of the training are reviewed every ten weeks against the plan.
Apprentices are given a performance rating at each review, where they are classed as working below, on, or above target.
Those that maintain a minimum of an "on target" rating receive a salary increment after a minimum of nine months and may receive a non-pensionable bonus payment of £250 for sustained "above target" performance in any year of the programme. Now that's motivation!

Shop the Trend: Anchors Aweigh
The weather might only just now be turning spring-like, but we're already thinking ahead to warmer days. Specifically, we're thinking about days spent on the beach, weekend getaways to seaside towns and evening sails off the coast (or at least after-work cocktails overlooking the Hudson, for those of us stuck in the city).
Spring and summer are the perfect time to sport a nautical-influenced look, and the current crop of anchor-adorned items are perfect for ushering in the warm weather. So whether you're planning on sailing the high seas or staying landlocked, any of these 10 pieces will be a welcome addition to your spring/summer wardrobe (and pair perfectly with your other sea-minded staples—stripes, anyone?).

Have you read The Unbearable Nonsense of Craft Beer - A Rant in Nine Acts by Alan and Max yet? It's out on Kindle as well as Lulu.
Maureen Ogle said this about the book: "... immensely readable, sometimes slightly surreal rumination on beer in general and craft beer in particular. Funny, witty, but most important: Smart. The beer geeks will likely get all cranky about it, but Alan and Max are the masters of cranky..."
Ron Pattinson said: "I'm in a rather odd situation. Because I appear in the book. A fictional version of me. It's a weird feeling."
Thanks for the plug Alan. Stay tuned for reports from Denmark (still no armed conflict over Hans Island?), Northern Italy, Bavaria and the Slovak Republic. Some of these places only for a few hours, but I will try to drag home enough bottles to make it through until the Norwegian Christmas beer season starts in a month or so.

SBTRKT stitched together an Essential Mix for the BBC with cuts from Pearson Sound, Flying Lotus, Radiohead, Fantastic Mr. Fox, a Deadboy remix of Drake, Joy O — basically all the sort of dubstep/psych-step/two-step/step-step/garage wonkery you'd expect a producer with his post-everything sensibility to spin out.

I've enjoyed spending time in cemeteries since I was child. This site makes me happy to know that people are always remembering those that have come before us. I enjoy getting exercise and just generally being outdoors via walking the cemeteries. It's also great to help folks find their past through volunteer efforts. I often think of it as my good deed for the day. I generally have no connection to most of the postings I've created. My family are featured under my virtual cemeteries listings. My ancestors had the family names of Baker, Bauer, Creamer, Crisman, Edmond, Elgert, Everhart, Fandrei, Fisbeck, Gebhard, Hinzman, Jones, Kuhn, Kukuck, Millet, Riddle, Ridge, Roscrons, Schoen, Scott, Springer, Shoup, Streich, Von Gro, Wilde, Willert, Wolff.
Please feel free to contact me if you have corrections, additions or would like a transfer. If you have a family connection, please feel free to contact me. If you are happy with my services as a volunteer, please leave flowers on one of my loved ones files in remembrance. Thanks!

James Harvey Hogg 32250827
I am hoping you can help me.
You transferred James Harvey Hogg 32250827 to me.
But today I see someone else has a James Harvey Hogg 136561516 memorial also.
Each memorial has James Harvey Hogg buried in a different cemetery, but with the same cemetery stone photo, Saint Joseph Cemetery and Mount Allen Cemetery. Before I have Find A Grave combine the two memorials I need to know which cemetery is correct. Would you have time to help me figure this out please.
Thank you.

looking for info on Rosana Wolbach wife of Cinncinatius Wolbach, parents of Uriah Wolbach.
I have written info from Clora Belle Wolbach that she and Uriah were married in 1891 and had a daughter Mabel May Wolbach B:May 7, 1892. My info from Clora Belle is that Uriah was struck by a baseball and killed on July 3, 1892. Clora and Uriah would be my ggrandparents and Mabel May my grandmother.
Census puts Uriah as born in Hanover Pa and living in Kansas. I have visited his grave in Wallace Ne
Would greatly appreciate any info that you might have. Shirley Bailey

From the developer of iShoot, the #1 iPhone game in early 2009!
Join two-time gold medalist shooter Kim Rhode in hunting animals like deer, bears, and wild turkeys in this fully 3D free-roaming hunting game. Earn points to unlock additional weapons and locations by completing tasks such as killing two animals with one shot or killing twenty animals in a row without missing a single shot.
Because this is just a game, you can get away with things you can't do in real life… like take down grizzly bears with an AK-47 or even a rocket launcher. Or you can make things harder by defending yourself from an angry bull moose armed only with a pistol. A bonus location, The Killing Fields, contains hundreds and hundreds of animals, making it the perfect setting for a rocket-powered rampage. Enjoy hunting with no limits!

One thing I get asked again and again is how I turned my little shoe-money side-project into an amazingly rewarding and profitable business.
Well, it's just that. I've always treated my blogging like a business. And you can too!
I was lucky enough to have a background in both publishing and advertising, and a degree in business as well, so I had a head start. The rest I learned the good old fashioned way, with seven years of trial and error, hard work, and occasionally even a few tears.
Over my blogging journey I have created my own collection of nail polishes with Revlon, been the official blogger for LÓreal Melbourne Fashion Week (twice), sat front row at New York Fashion Week, been nominated for Cosmopolitan magazine's Fun Fearless Female awards and the B&T Women in Media awards, and named one of Anthill's 30 under 30 entrepreneurs. I guess you could say, I know my stuff!
Now I've turned my biggest blogging and business lessons into the 6 week Secret Bloggers' Business Bootcamp (eCourse), that I know will help any blogger, old or new, to go pro with their blog, and start turning their hobby into their career.
No matter how much traffic you have, you always want more. Here I reveal the simple strategies I've used to grow my traffic from 0 to 160,000 monthly readers using a combination of simple SEO, email and social media.
Learn all the different ways you can make money from your blog right now (there are more than you'd think!), how to pick the best ones for your blog, and I'll also include some real facts and figures on how much you can make, and/or should charge.
Who wouldn't want to make money in their sleep? And for bloggers, learning how to do this is one of the major differences between blogging for a hobby or blogging for a job.
I'll show you how to hone in on your personal brand values, how to define what makes your blog (and you) unique and special, and how to use that to grow traffic and profits.
If you really want to "go pro" with your blog, you need to create a digital product. Not just to increase your income, but also to increase your list and readership too.
The best person to sell you and your blog, is actually you! But selling can be hard, scary and sucky! So I'll teach you my tried & tested methods that take the ick out of selling.
Exclusive access to our private Facebook group where you can ask questions, share wins, and grow your support posse of ladies killin' it online!
- The 12 different ways you can monetize your blog, and which ones will work best for you!
- 7-years' worth of monetization training, tips and advice from a multiple 6-figure blogger (that's me!)
- Our exact social media strategies (including exactly what we do every day that built us a 110,000+ following in Pinterest in just 12 months)
- Exact email scripts and strategies to make selling ads on your blog a breeze
- Customisable designer templates for your Media Kit
- Easy ways to get your favourite brands to notice your blog, and how to turn them into life-long PAYING clients when they do.
- Exclusive training – How to create, sell & market a successful eBook in just 2 weeks!
- 24/7 support and advice from our blogging community and staff
- BONUS - I breakdown my blogging journey from the start, year-by-year including what I did wrong, what I did right, and exactly how much I earned (and how!) as well!
- Plus much, much more!
- Anyone who has a blog and loves it like crazy, and now wants to take the next step.
- Anyone thinking about starting a blog, who wants to skip over the first few months or even years of trial and error, and get straight to the good stuff.
- Anyone who wants to turn their passion project into a profitable one.
- Anyone, who blogs about anything, on any topic, who is ready to go pro!
There are a million and one blogging courses out there (I counted), but not a single one of them is focusing on the real business side of blogging. The stuff that will help you to not just grow your readership, but to also bring in a steady stream of income so you can turn your blog from your hobby into your business.
No one seems to want to talk about how much money they make, and how. Or how they REALLY get their traffic. But I will!
When does it start?
When ever you like! Once you have joined the Bootcamp you can start at any time.
How is the course delivered?
Each week we will release a new set of content chock full of worksheets, do-it-now action points, scripts, checklists, templates and much, much more. And we'll send you an email when we do!
What is the difference between the Bootcamp/e-course and Ready, Set, Blog?
The Bootcamp (e-course) is an intensive 6-week online course that focuses on the business side of blogging (that is branding, monetization and traffic), Ready, Set, Blog is created for people who really need to learn the basics of blogging first like finding their voice, setting up a user-friendly layout, and other key blog-foundation topics.
How much time will it take?
Allow around 3-5 hours a week to work through all the content and worksheets, and possibly a little extra to start applying some your awesome new learnings to your blog. But don't worry if you get busy or a bit behind, there is a catch-up week in the middle, and also, once your have purchased the course, you have lifetime access, so you can always come back and re-do anything you missed.
What if I get stuck?
That is what I am here for! I will be answering questions via the comments section on each module, and also in the private Facebook group, and don't worry there are no wrong answers, and no stupid questions, we are here to help. As are the other amazing bloggers in the course!
What if I don't have a blog?
Not a problem! Beginners are more than welcome, but be warned this is an intensive course. We do not cover anything about starting a blog, but even people without blogs have said this course is amazingly useful to them and will definitely give you a fantastic leg-up once your blog is up and running (basically you get to skip over the years of trial and error and get straight to the good stuff!).
But I'm not very techy?
Don't worry, that is not what this course is about. I will be recommending a few plugins and programs here and there that I've found really helpful, but nothing too complicated, and definitely nothing you have to try and figure out if you don't want to.
Will you cover how to set up a blog?
No, we are 100% focused on what to do with your blog to make it as successful as possible once it is up and running. You can however find more information on how to get started over the Mastermind
What if I don't love it?
If it's not for you, we'll happily refund your money up to 7 days after the date you signed up.

I figure most of you can figure out how to build cube shelving...so I assure you that is not what we are going to do today! I am modifying the "typical" cube shelving so that it might be attached to the wall and trimmed out for decorative purposes. Let's face it folks... if it isn't nailed to the wall, it is going to be climbed on and WILL fall over and land on your child...or your cat...or you? We know what you do when we aren't looking...stop climbing the walls!

Here's the theory: engineers go to university, get a degree then start their career. We say think differently. Join our Higher Apprenticeship scheme and while you're working towards a graduate-level education, you'll also be getting invaluable real-world experience. By the time you finish the scheme, you'll have achieved at least a Foundation degree – and be ready practically to start taking your development way beyond that.
All the way through your Higher Apprenticeship, you'll be working alongside real engineering professionals. You'll get a firm foundation in engineering principles, before going on to mentored placements in different areas of the company, typically lasting four months each.
Working across everything from civil engineering, defence services and naval marine to fans and manufacturing, you'll enjoy on and off-the-job training, a competitive salary and opportunities to progress within our Engineering function. Roles available in this area include Technician, Technologist, Manufacturing Engineer, Service Engineer and Supplier Quality Engineer. How far you go in any of these roles is up to you and your ambitions.
UK (Derby, Barnoldswick, Bristol and Hucknall)
Get paid
At Rolls-Royce, as well as training you for a well-paid career, we'll pay you a competitive salary from day one of your Apprenticeship. How much depends on your role and location, but you'll start on around £11,875 a year.
From the moment you join Rolls-Royce, you'll be a valuable member of the team and we'll make sure your work is well-rewarded.
Get qualified
Throughout your Apprenticeship, you'll go to college to study for nationally-recognised qualifications, for example, NVQ/SVQs Level 4 or 5 in Engineering Leadership, among other qualifications. You may also be able to continue study beyond your apprenticeship for more advanced qualifications like an HNC, HND or Foundation degree dependant on business requirements.
Get experienced
All our apprentices go on our Outward Bound Professional Programme to help develop some of the other important skills you'll need at Rolls-Royce. Through exciting, fast-paced activities outdoors and in the classroom you'll improve your teamwork, self-confidence and communication skills. You'll push yourself in new and different ways. And your experiences mean you'll come back to work an even stronger member of our team.
- Do a real job in an advanced engineering business
- Learn alongside world-class engineers
- Earn valuable qualifications – with the potential for funded studies to Master's degree level
- Get paid a real wage
- Get career support from day one
- Enjoy a competitive pension, and 33 days' holiday per year (inclusive of Bank Holidays).
Our Apprenticeships involve a fair amount of academic work. For that reason, we'll need you to have already achieved a certain level in your education:
- A-Level – Grades A* to C in Maths, Physics/Chemistry and one other (achieved or expected).
- GCSE – Grades A* to C intermediate 1 A or 2 A-C in Maths (Higher paper), English Language, a relevant Science or Technical subject (not Combined Science).
Scotland and alternatives to A-Level:
- SQA Higher National Diploma
- Scottish Highers in Maths and Physics (Band A–C)
- Key/Functional Skills level 3
- S/NVQs at level 3, level 4 and level 5
- BTEC National Certificate/Diploma in an Engineering related subject including
- Further Maths – Merit
- HNC/HND/SQA Professional Development Award in an engineering-related subject.
Enthusiasm for engineering
Beyond your academic qualifications, we'll be looking for evidence that you're genuinely interested in and enthusiastic about developing a career in engineering.
For instance, we'd like to hear about how you like to tinker with cars, bicycles or motorbikes; or about an engineering project you've done at school, or an engineering club you've been involved with. Whatever it is, we need to know you've thought things through and are fairly sure that this career is right for you.
Analytical and motivated
Importantly, you'll be analytical, methodical and good at solving problems – as well as articulate, driven and a fast learner. We'll also be looking at where you might have demonstrated your drive and motivation; for example sports, languages, organising a significant event, Duke of Edinburgh or charity work.
Team skills
We're also very keen to take on people who love working as a team. Because, despite the size of our company, we all enjoy working with other people. So, we'll be interested in how you've worked in a group, whether that's at school, with your family, in a sports team, at work, in voluntary organisations, such as the Guides, Scouts or Cadets, or as part of religious or community activities.
Stage 1: Once you've decided which Apprenticeship is for you, you'll need to find an appropriate vacancy and apply online.
Stage 2: If you are applying to a role in the UK and have submitted your online application, you will immediately receive two emails – one to acknowledge that you have submitted your application, and the second email inviting you to take some online assessments. You will then have ten days to complete them – but before you do, try out some sample question by visiting http://Rolls-Royce.cut-e.com
You will need to complete all of the assessments provided for your application to be considered. We have also compiled a number of frequently asked questions to support you.
Please note, not all emails are compatible with our systems so please check your spam/junk folders to ensure that you have received both emails.
Stage 3: If your application is successful, you'll be invited to our assessment centre. The day consists of ability tests, interviews and a group exercise:
- Ability Test - as the tests you completed on-line were unsupervised you will be asked to re-sit one of them when you come in to see us. You may wish to re-visit the on-line practice questions at http://Rolls-Royce.cut-e.com
- Group Exercise - we will ask you to participate in a group activity that will allow us to observe how you work with others in a team environment.
- Motivational Interview - we would like to know a bit more about your practical achievements. Think about a time you've made, designed or planned something and be prepared to talk us through what you did and what new skills you learnt.
- Technical Interview - we would like to gain an understanding of how well you are able to learn and understand information that relates to our business. We are also interested in your understanding of Rolls-Royce and the different sectors in which we operate.
- Competency Interview - you will be asked to give examples of times you've demonstrated some of the competencies that are important to us.
Stage 4: If you're successful at the assessment centre, you will be contacted within one week and told the good news.

I was recently contacted by Brian, the owner of "The Niche Trading System" who let me know about his newly created system and the success he has had with it in the binary options NADEX market.
He has created a truly robust system and trading plan for people to become successful in trading binary options. As most of us know, becoming a professional trader doesn't happen overnight as many people have discovered.
This NADEX specific system covers what every trader needs to know – including money management, risk management, and specifically targets the law of compounding interest. One of the questions he is frequently asked is if the system was built to be able to trade from markets in consolidation to markets in full trends and highly volatile markets, and the answer is YES!
So go take a look at his page when you get a chance to see if this system is right for you. You never know, it might just be the best $97 you have ever spent!

Substance abuse is linked to readmissions for mood disorders
Research Activities, June 2009, No. 346
About 21 million American adults suffer from mood disorders, including major depression and bipolar disorder. When people with mood disorders are hospitalized for treatment, between 20 and 50 percent of them return to the hospital within a year. Researchers at the Rutgers University Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERT) analyzed Medicaid claims data from five States and found that nearly a quarter of people with major depression, bipolar disorder, or both conditions were hospitalized from 1999 to 2000. Thirty-six percent of those who were hospitalized also had received diagnoses of alcohol or drug abuse.
Twenty-four percent of the people hospitalized with mood disorders were rehospitalized within 3 months after they were discharged. Half (50 percent) of those who were rehospitalized also had received diagnoses of drug or alcohol abuse. People with mood disorders who abused drugs had an adjusted readmission hazard rate that was 58 percent greater than those who did not abuse drugs, and people with mood disorder who abused alcohol had an adjusted readmission rate that was 46 percent greater than those who did not abuse alcohol.
The authors suggest that people suffering from major depression and bipolar disorder, who also abuse drugs or alcohol, might be able to avoid hospitalizations and rehospitalizations if their substance abuse, mental health, and medical care services are better integrated so that they receive appropriate care.
This study was funded in part by a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS16097) to the Rutgers University CERT. For more information on the CERTs program, please visit http://certs.hhs.gov/index.html.
See "Substance abuse and hospitalization for mood disorder among Medicaid beneficiaries," by Jonathan D. Prince, Ph.D., Ayse Akincigil, Ph.D., Donald R. Hoover, Ph.D., and others in the January 2009 American Journal of Public Health 99(1), pp. 160-167.

X-ray microanalysis was used in the qualitative and quantitative study of titanium carbides obtained by deposition of thin titanium films on steel substrates using reactive r. f. sputtering of a pure titanium target. The samples are subjected to high vacuum annealing at a temperatures between 200 and 1000°C for 60 min. The morphological analysis by SEM shows that all films exhibited a dense microstructure. The EDS pattern of X-ray microanalysis shows that the non treated samples mainly consist of titanium. The concentration of Ti decreases progressively with the annealing temperature therefore the carbon and iron concentrations increases, this is as result of atomic interdiffusion between the substrate and the thin film. In the highest temperatures of annealing we note the diffusion of the elements of substrate towards outside layers even for those having weak concentrations. The relationship between mechanical properties and the reaction is carried out by Vickers micro-hardness measurements.

Brooke and Jaron photo via TMZ
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, who is probably best known as the mother of his twins and as a frequent visitor to various rehab programs around the country, is apparently dating Jaron Lowenstein of Jaron And The Long Road To Love.
Yeah, this might not end well.
According to TMZ, Brooke and Jaron have known each other for about a year but only recently started dating.
Apparently they met at a party last year when Brooke and Charlie Sheen were attempting to reconcile. Realizing it was a pointless endeavor, Brooke gave her number to Jaron. The two kept in touch but only recently decided to give dating a try.
Let's hope for Jaron's sake (and her twins, of course), that Brooke is finally free of the drugs and finished with rehab.

Audiences under the age of 40 may remember Bob Hope only as the old wisecracker leering at Brooke Shields on countless corny TV specials, or as a guy who played golf with presidents. Those who caught his career only during its long twilight may not realize how thoroughly he dominated all facets of show business for decades, or how much of a debt of influence he's owed by some of today's top performers. Here are five areas where Hope, who died July 27 at age 100, set the standard.
The Oscars
Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, and Steve Martin have a long way to go if they want to match Hope's tenure as host of the Academy Awards. He hosted the show some 18 times between 1940 and 1978, more than anyone else in Oscar history. Hope liked to grumble that his emcee gig often left him the only person on the podium who always went home empty-handed; he opened the show one year by welcoming everyone to the Academy Awards, ''or, as it's known at our house, Passover.'' Actually, Hope won five Oscars between 1941 and 1966, though none was for his acting. They were all honorary citations, including the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1960, all for his service to the industry. At least no one has won as many honorary Oscars as he did.
The USO Tours
These days, it's almost de rigeur to see stars heading out on USO tours to perform for the troops; indeed, without the USO, Coolio probably wouldn't still have a career. But long before Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, Robin Williams, and Mariah Carey showed their love to the G.I.s, Hope was there, even when it meant putting himself in harm's way. ''I guess I have my critics everywhere,'' he said, when a Saigon hotel was blown up just before his arrival. From his first tour in 1941 to his last in 1990, he logged some 3 million miles and entertained some 10 million troops. For his efforts, Hope was named an honorary veteran in 1997 and had a naval support ship named after him. In later years, especially during the Vietnam War, opposition to the conflict at home (and often among the troops themselves) widened the generation gap between the gung-ho Hope and his audience. Still, his humor was topical without being divisive. As he told a military audience in 1966, ''Technically, we're not at war. So remember that when you get shot. Technically, it doesn't hurt.''
The Movies
Hope liked to joke about the how little respect he earned for his film career, but he had a strong following among both critics and audiences (he was a top 10 box-office draw from 1941 to 1953). Decades before Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson (or Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, or Robert Redford and Paul Newman), Hope and golfing pal Bing Crosby invented the buddy comedy in their "Road" movies. Among Hope's best, besides ''The Road to Morocco'' (1942) and ''The Road to Utopia'' (1946), are 1952's ''Son of Paleface'' (an even funnier sequel to his 1948 Western spoof ''The Paleface''), 1946's ''Monsieur Beaucaire'' (a spoof set in ancien-regime France, and Hope's favorite among his own movies), and 1955's ''The Seven Little Foys,'' a rare dramatic role for Hope as Eddie Foy Sr., a real-life vaudevillian of the type Hope himself started out as.
The TV Specials
According to the Bob Hope archives at the Library of Congress, Hope made some 284 specials for NBC from 1950 to 1996; including his radio years, he had an unbroken contract with the broadcaster for more than six decades. The shows held to a reliable formula: topical jokes, a parade of college football players, and sketches where Hope would jostle with fellow old-timers (George Burns, Jack Benny), crack wise with then-current TV stars (say, Kirk Cameron or Tom Selleck), and ogle starlets (frequently Brooke Shields, though he'd sidle up to anyone from Raquel Welch to Ann Jillian). The specials were always dependable ratings winners, and they singlehandedly kept alive Hope's vaudeville tradition into the videocassette era. He was even hip enough to win a cameo on ''The Simpsons'' in 1992, where he crowned Lisa as Junior Miss Springfield. ''Actually, they made me look fairly good,'' he told Entertainment Weekly. ''Well, anyway, they made me look younger. Dolores [his wife] thought I never looked better. I played myself, but I could have used a little more time to get into the role.''
The One-Liners
Hope was one of the first comics to get by with no gimmicks other than his persona, his whipcrack timing, and his verbal wit. Comics from Drew Carey, whose self-deprecating deadpan is a descendant of Hope's, to Conan O'Brien, who openly swiped Hope's lecherous growl, have acknowledged his influence. Woody Allen, who began selling jokes to Hope as a teenager, told the New York Times in May: ''I just see an enormous skill and hilarity to his delivery, and his persona, and the character that he developed over the years, and the superbly flippant style that coped with every situation.'' In his comedy, Hope tackled everything from politics to golf to his own life. His harmless leer allowed him to sneak sex jokes past the censors that might have tripped up other performers. During a 1940 radio broadcast, Dorothy Lamour told Hope that she was just pulling his leg. He replied: ''Dottie, you can pull my right leg, and you can pull my left leg, but don't mess with Mr. In-Between!'' He and his writers amassed a file of 89,000 pages of jokes, or more than a million punch lines, which he donated to the Library of Congress. He had enough jokes to tell his entire life story in one-liners, which he did just this year, in ''Bob Hope: My Life in Jokes.'' ''I consider myself very fortunate,'' he once said. "I owe everything to my family and my make-up man. My wonderful family keeps me going and my wonderful make-up man keeps me from looking like I already went.''

thanks, will give that a try.
Yes, I use all raw vegetables. You can blanch the broccoli in boiling water for a few seconds to give it a bright green color. I normally don't bother unless I'm having company. If you want to blanch it, just shove it in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then shove it in ice water for a minute or two to keep it from cooking.
I just toss it with a creamy dressing. My all time favorite dressing for this salad is Hidden Valley Ranch that you make at home with the seasoning mix. Use real mayonaisse. The bottled dressings just don't cut it, but can be used in a pinch.
They call me "Nana"
thanks, will give that a try.
I make a broccoli salad with prepackaged broccoli slaw, pieces of chopped broc, coleslaw dressing and granny smith apples. I got the recipe out of a Kraft foods magazine several years ago. I love the magazine (free) and you can get a lot of good recipes online. The last issue had different seasonings to put into hamburgers. The caesar burger has been a hit.
The dried cranberries with the broc. salad sounds really good. Sometimes I use them in a grilled chicken salad.
I think we're going out tonight...
always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
Tonight we are having bbq beef on rolls, coleslaw, and fresh pineapple.
