If you are a veteran or currently in the guard or reserve, the On-The-Job Training (OJT) Program offers you an alternative way to use your VA (GI Bill) education and training benefits. The following is a summary of these GI Bill alternatives.
When you are trained for a new job, you can receive monthly training benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs in addition to your regular salary. This means that if you are using the Post 9/11 GI Bill you can receive up to 100% of the housing stipend for your zip code.
VA pays veteran GI Bill participants on a scale depending on the amount of time they are enrolled in the program.
For example in 2014-2015, those using the MGIB program may get $1,287.75 a month for the first six months of training, $944.35 for the second six months of training and $600.95 for remaining training.
If using the Post 9/11 GI Bill you would receive 100% of the monthly housing stipend for the first six months of training, 80% for the second six months of training, 60% for the third six months, 40% for the fourth six months and 20% for the remaining of your training.
VA pays GI Bill Selected Reserve participants on a similar scale but at the following reduced rates; $275.25 a month for the first six months of training, $201.85 for the second six months of training and $128.45 for remaining training.
To qualify, your job must meet the following criteria:
Here is a list of well-known companies who have participated in the VA's Apprenticeship Program in the past:
You may be eligible if you are eligible for the GI Bill either under the Active Duty (Veteran) or Reserve GI Bill programs and:
So, if you are qualified for the GI Bill and you have started a new job or apprenticeship program, you should apply for this little known GI Bill benefit. In some cases, the VA will even pay retroactively for OJT from the past 12 months.
Note: You may not receive GI Bill OJT benefits at the same time you receive the GI Bill education benefits.
Click here for the latest information on the exact amounts the GI Bill will pay.
Your next step should be to contact your nearest VA Regional Office or local State Approving Agency (SAA). Your SAA will help you get started on the process and answer any questions you may have.

Four Lessons For Social Media Preparedness From Sandy
by Bryan Boettger on Oct 31, 4:14 PM
The unfortunate reality is that we need to be more prepared now than we were 10 years ago -- no matter what part of the country we live in -- in the wake of more flooding, ice storms, earthquakes, blizzards, and tornadoes. Whether a national brand or local business, you have to be prepared for how your business, your employees and your customers will be affected by Mother Nature.

Facebook's Mobile Problem Suddenly Vanishes
by Catharine P. Taylor on Oct 26, 5:02 PM
So, remember that thing about Facebook's mobile problem, way back, say, six months ago? It's gone! Like that! Courtesy of Facebook's Q3 earnings report, which surprised the world into actually buying the stock. The next day, it hit a high of $24 share, about 25% higher than it was before the announcement.

'Return On Investment' Isn't The Same As 'Great Metrics'
by Bryan Boettger on Oct 23, 11:03 AM
With so many metrics at our disposal, it's incredibly easy for a social media marketer to simply focus on metrics instead of return on investment. But few of us get paid for good stats alone. Our businesses want us to make them money. Go figure. And yet, again and again we turn to stats that mean nothing when it comes to ROI. Most companies can only guess what a Like is worth or the value of a Pin. I even had a client a couple years ago have us take OUT any metrics that showed how we contributed to the ...

Binders - Or, Stop Me Before I Meme Again
by Catharine P. Taylor on Oct 18, 1:44 PM
Before I begin, forgive me for often being more into social memes than social metrics. But although I find it fascinating that a study released today says only 6% of alleged fans of a brand on Facebook actually interact with it, I'm actually more in the mood to talk about binders. Oh, sheesh, binders? That's so 36 hours ago.

Social Can't Succeed Without Experiential
by Bryan Boettger on Oct 17, 3:48 PM
Social marketers need to be event marketers. As a social media professional, if you don't have plans for event marketing in your 2013 budget, you'd better lower your projected metrics for the year.

In Social, Is A Picture Now Worth Lots Of Money?
by Catharine P. Taylor on Oct 11, 5:18 PM
After all this, is social really coming back back to the old adage, "A picture is worth a thousand words"? Or maybe I should embellish a bit: "A picture is worth a thousand words -- and lots of money if it has an e-commerce button attached"?

Viral Isn't A Four-Letter Word
by Bryan Boettger on Oct 10, 1:46 PM
But the word "plan" is. I'm officially over talking about a "plan" for viral social engagement. This could be my Jerry Maguire moment, so prepare for either a rant or a manifesto -- you tell me which.

Why Don't We Pay Attention To Do-Not-Track?
by Catharine P. Taylor on Oct 4, 1:49 PM
I can safely say that the session on online privacy wasn't the best-attended offering at OMMA Social at Advertising Week on Tuesday. Sure, it was late in the day, but there's a part of me that thinks, in addition, it's because no one wants to talk about it. After all, when there's so much excitement around behavioral and social targeting, who wants to shut down the party? But as I listened to the panel of experts talk, it became clear to me that most of us -- this columnist included -- have some waking up to do.

Time To Treat Your Customers Like Cavemen
by Bryan Boettger on Oct 3, 4:43 PM
Let's party like it's 100,000 B.C. Psychologically, there are many ways we haven't changed much from that early man. The biggest failing of digital marketers is when we think of consumers as "digital consumers" instead of just "consumers."

In America, education - and especially college - is seen as the gateway to a better life. For children growing up poor in the U.S., going to college and achieving the American dream can seem elusive, even mythical.
NPR's Claudio Sanchez reports that there are remarkable young people, exceptions, who show the challenges and possibilities that do exist. It's the latest installment in our series "American Dreams."
CLAUDIO SANCHEZ, BYLINE: On the corner of 106th and Lexington in New York City, a young man with a neatly trimmed beard, broad shoulders, wearing a bright-green polo shirt, paces the sidewalk in front of an old, refurbished school building.
JUAN CARLOS REYES: My name is Juan Carlos Reyes. I am actually standing right in front of the Heritage School. It's the place that sort of opened up the doors to change in my future.
SANCHEZ: This is where Juan Carlos remembers hearing about "the American dream" - in Mr. Saltz's English class, after reading "Death of a Salesman."
REYES: That's the first time in the classroom a professor actually brought up the concept of what the American dream was. You can come from the bottom and with hard work and dedication, you'll get a nice house, a nice car, and enough money for your kids to go to school.
SANCHEZ: For Juan Carlos, though, the message rang hollow. It was 2003 - his junior year - and he was in all kinds of trouble. He had gone through a gauntlet of bad teachers and dysfunctional schools; rarely attended class; got high; ran with a tough crowd; and was written off as a lost cause.
REYES: I just wanted a job. And I said something like, well, doormen get paid like, 16 bucks an hour. And if I get that job, I can make it. And to me, I guess, that was the dream.
SANCHEZ: The first teacher he met at Heritage High School, though, disabused him of that idea. She knew what kids like Juan Carlos needed.
RACHEL RIVERA: I gave them tough love, and I gave them good love.
SANCHEZ: Rachel "Rocky" Rivera, a P.E. and karate instructor, to this day has a pretty good track record proving to kids like Juan Carlos that they're not lost causes.
RIVERA: They learned discipline, they learned respect. They learned how to get up there and be go-getters, get what they needed in life.
SANCHEZ: Juan Carlos took Rocky's message to heart, but that wasn't all he got from Heritage High. The school offered lots of academic counseling, college visits, and free SAT prep courses. For the first time, Juan Carlos says, teachers provided what nobody else had: a culture of achievement and hard work that paved the way to college.
REYES: By the time I left Heritage, I absolutely knew that I was going to complete a college degree. Something that I never pictured became a reality - seeing my mom's dreams become reality. And I teared up because it was very significant to me.
SANCHEZ: After graduating from Baruch College, Juan Carlos became senior manager in the Office of the President at Columbia Teachers College, where he's now pursuing a master's degree in higher education.
How a poor Dominican kid from an impoverished neighborhood in the South Bronx can make it to college can be seen in one of two ways, says Jim Cullen. He's a cultural historian and author of "The American Dream: A Short History of an Idea That Shaped a Nation."
JIM CULLEN: Some people would look at a story like Juan Carlos, and say he's proof that the system works. Other people look at the story of a Juan Carlos and say he's the exception and therefore, he's evidence that there's a problem.
SANCHEZ: Given the poor quality of education that the vast majority of kids living in poverty receive, Cullen says access to higher education, for them, is a matter of luck and good fortune.
CULLEN: A college degree has become, in effect, the lottery ticket of American life.
SANCHEZ: Juan Carlos agrees. Back on 106th and Lexington, in front of Heritage High School, he ponders the question that he's always asked himself: Why did he make it out of the South Bronx, when so many of the kids that he grew up with didn't?
REYES: Many would say that I am the compilation of the American dream. I mean, I grew up in an inner city of the Bronx - quite frankly, being lucky to not fall into the wrong place at the wrong time. But I don't think that it's a coincidence that eight out of 10 of my friends don't have a college degree. In fact, they don't have a high school diploma.
SANCHEZ: Where's their shot at a college education? Juan Carlos asks. Where's their American dream? Juan Carlos says these are the questions that now take up his life's work: to counsel poor, inner-city kids about the importance of a college education; and convince them that their dreams are not farfetched, but within grasp.

"The city's coolest, quirkiest retro jazz group!" -The Dallas Observer, 2011 | |||||
The Singapore Slingers | |||||
The Slingers are a true orchestra, complete with a string section of 3 violins, viola, cello, and string bass. The drummer also doubles on vintage xylophone and bells- more examples of period instruments. The rhythm is driving, with tuba and banjo propelling the orchestra along. Their repertoire is immense, featuring fox trots, waltzes, marches, one-steps, rags, tangos, and rhumbas. They even venture into the exotic- castle walks, the maxixe, and of course, the oriental fox trot. The orchestra's members range greatly in age, proving this music is truly timeless. The selections performed by the orchestra are not a forgotten artifact or a museum piece, but a live, breathing testament to the great music of yesteryear. This is music that appeals to all generations, young and old alike. The orchestra takes great delight in performing for their audiences, and they hope to play for you sometime- at a dance, a concert, or perhaps your very own affair! | |||||

Corrothers was convicted Thursday night of killing Frank and Taylor Clark and wounding Tonya Clark in July 2009 in the Clark's home off Bell River Road.
Corrothers was out on parole for six weeks when he killed the Clarks, apparently over drugs and money. He has served 10 years in prison on four counts of armed robbery.
Defense attorneys tried to convince the jury that Corrothers' bad childhood, living in poverty and without a father figure, set him on a path that led him to the courtroom facing the death penalty. The state told the jury it was just excuses and that Corrothers should be held responsible for the choices he's made. (May 20, 2011)

Snowpiercer (Korean: 설국열차; hanja: 雪國列車; RR: Seolgungnyeolcha) is a 2013 South Korean science fiction action film based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette.[1] The film is directed by Bong Joon-ho,[4][5] and written by Bong and Kelly Masterson. The film marks Bong's English-language debut; approximately 80% of the film was shot in English.[6][7]
The film stars Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt, and Ed Harris.
In 2014, an experiment to counteract global warming causes an ice age that kills nearly all life on Earth. The only survivors are the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a massive train, powered by a perpetual-motion engine, that travels on a globe-spanning track. A class system is installed, with the elites inhabiting the front of the train and poor inhabiting the tail.
In 2031, the tail inhabitants prepare for the latest in a series of rebellions. Guards arrive periodically to deliver protein blocks for food, and take some of the children. During the guards' next visit, Curtis Everett leads the tail inhabitants in revolt, forcing their way through several train cars to the prison section. There, they release prisoner Namgoong Minsu, the man who built the security system that controls the doors dividing each car, and his clairvoyant daughter Yona. They offer him uncut Kronole, a drug that both he and his daughter are addicted to, as payment for unlocking each of the remaining doors.
One of the cars is filled with armed men. Under the orders of Minister Mason, the men battle Curtis' forces. Curtis' side prevails, and he captures Mason, but he is forced to sacrifice his second-in-command, Edgar, to do so. Mason agrees to lead the group through the high-class cars in exchange for her life. In the school car, the teacher points out seven frozen rebels through the window. She and a henchman then draw machine guns, slaughtering many of Curtis' followers, and executing his mentor Gilliam. As revenge, Curtis kills Mason.
Curtis, his few remaining followers, and Namgoong and Yona continue through the train, discovering the extravagance in which the elites have been living while the poor wallowed in squalor. One of Mason's henchmen, Franco the Elder, kills the rest of Curtis' followers, before the henchman is himself seemingly killed. Curtis resolves to complete his mission, accompanied by Namgoong and Yona. The trio moves through the remaining cars where the elite indulge in food, partying and Kronole; Namgoong steals much of this Kronole from the inebriated revelers. As they arrive at the Engine door, Namgoong suggests they use the collected Kronole, made from explosive chemical waste, to blow open the side of the train, and escape into the outside. Namgoong explains that every year, the train has passed a crashed plane buried in snow, which has become less buried with each passing year, suggesting that Earth is warming, and that survival outside is now possible.
Curtis explains why he must confront Wilford, creator of the train and its hierarchy. When the tail dwellers first boarded the train, they were deprived of food, water, and supplies, and in crowded conditions, forcing them to turn to cannibalism. Before the introduction of the protein blocks, Curtis had kidnapped an infant Edgar to eat him, and killed his mother, before Gilliam cut his own arm off and offered it in Edgar's place. Namgoong resolves to use the explosive, but the engine door opens, and Namgoong is shot and wounded by Wilford's assistant Claude, who forces Curtis inside. Curtis confronts Wilford, who explains that the revolution was orchestrated between himself and Gilliam as a means of population control, necessary to maintaining balance aboard the train for supplies, but Curtis was too successful and Wilford's own losses too great, so he executed Gilliam as punishment. The aging Wilford says that he wants Curtis to replace him as the train's overseer, while in the tail, Wilford's henchmen execute all but 26% of inhabitants.
Meanwhile, Yona and the recovered Namgoong fight off the irate partiers and Franco (who survived the previous fight). Yona knocks Claude unconscious, gets inside the engine room and pulls up the floor to reveal that Wilford is using the tail children as slave labor, to replace the train's failing components. Outraged, Curtis sacrifices his arm to block the train gears, freeing one of the children, Timmy. Yona recovers the explosive from Claude and ignites it, before retreating into the engine with Namgoong. The damaged engine door fails to close, and Namgoong and Curtis sacrifice themselves to shield Yona and Timmy from the resulting explosive fire. The explosion sound wave causes an avalanche in the surrounding mountains that strikes and derails the train, destroying many of the cars. In the aftermath, Yona and Timmy step outside into the snow. In the distance Yona spots a polar bear, revealing that life exists outside the train.
Additionally, Alison Pill appears as a teacher on the train Snowpiercer.[66][67] Vlad Ivanov as Franco the Elder, one of Mason's henchmen.[68][69] Adnan Hasković as Franco the Younger, an executor of the army led by Mason.[70][71] Clark Middleton as the Painter, who's often seen drawing other passengers or key events, visually chronicling underclass life and death.[72][73] Tómas Lemarquis as Egg-head;[74][75] Stephen Park as Fuyu;[76][77] and Paul Lazar as Paul.[78][79] The creators of the graphic novel, Jean-Marc Rochette and Benjamin Legrand, have cameo appearances in the film.[80][81][82]
"When I first came across Transperceneige, the first thing that grabbed my attention was the unique cinematic space of a train. Hundreds of metal pieces moving like a snake carrying people squirming inside gripped my heart. And the people were fighting against each other. They were not equal in this Noah's ark that held the last survivors as they were divided into cars.
In the winter of 2005, Bong found Jean-Marc Rochette's French graphic novel series Le Transperceneige at a graphic novel shop near Hongik University and finished reading the entire series while standing in front of the bookshelf where he found it.[84][85] He was fascinated by ideas of people struggling on the train for survival, and how every section is classified in social stratification. Bong showed the series to his friends, fellow director Park Chan-wook and producer Lee Tae-hun, who loved it as well.[86] Albeit praising the original graphic novel, he soon realised that a film like Snowpiercer needed an original take, Bong stated, "[...] I had to come up with a completely new story and new characters in order to create a new, dyamic Snowpiercer that was packed with cinematic exhilaration." [87]
In the following year, Park's production company Moho Films acquired the copyrights to the original story of Snowpiercer for Bong, and in the following year of 2007 the copyrights to the story extended. On 15 September 2010, the first draft of the screenplay for Snowpiercer had been completed and in December, the second draft of screenplay for completed and modified alongside Park.[88] On 4 October 2010, Bong, whilst at the Vancouver International Film Festival, had initially entertained the idea of shooting the film in Canada due to it having "[...] a great infrastructure for filmmaking, and Korean expatiates are involved in the film industry a lot." [88] During the pre-production in South Korea, around the January and October period of 2011, Bong wanted a film studio with a 75–100 meters long space to fill with four train cars connected together. Therefore, Bong and his production team travelled to Europe for a studio scouting and ended up with two studio choices: Barrandov Studios in Czech Republic and Korda Studios in Hungary. In August 2011, a Czech producer hired by the production team began negotiations with two film studios for availability; Barrandov Studios was chosen eventually for the film studio and production service provider of Snowpiercer.[89][90]
On 18 January 2012, Kelly Masterson was hired to rewrite the script, before it went into production this spring, due to Bong seeing his screenplay work on Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and being impressed with the tonality of darkness and acuity in the story.[91][92] Bong and Masterson had originally envisioned a romantic story for the protagonist; however they jettisoned that idea in subsequent drafts of the screenplay.[93] On 8 October 2013, at the Busan International Film Festival, Bong acknowledged the challenges in adapting such a story to fit the apparent constraints of cinema, to which had to omit certain scenes from the graphic novel, "[...] I had to capture that long story in a two-hour film, so rather than cut out some scenes from the comic, I just rewrote the whole story to fit this time frame." [94][94][95]
On 13 January 2012, Chris Evans began negotiations to star in the film adaptation, and was later confirmed as the film's male lead after Bong was recommended by the casting director of the choice of Evans.[96] On 17 January 2012, Tilda Swinton and Jamie Bell were confirmed to be in talks to join the project.[97] Swinton first met Bong at the Cannes Film Festival, where she was of the mind that she did not want to make any other films, a decision she takes after each film: "And that one (and only) condition in which I will make another film is that I will have some fun.[98] So we started to play with the idea of what would amuse us about this." Bong and Swinton experimented with voices, mannerisms and the general appearance of the character of Mason.[99] On 18 January 2012, John Hurt was confirmed to have been cast, with Hurt stating, "All the film crew refer to [Bong], with great reverence, as 'Director Bong'. I love the fact that I am working for Director Bong." [100] On 2 February 2012, Octavia Spencer had joined the cast of Bong's project in the role of a "passenger on the train who joins the revolt in order to save her son.[101] Ed Harris spoke of his love of all three films of Bong Joon-ho and wanted to work with him, "I want to do this. I don't care what he's asking me to do because he's a really great filmmaker." [102] On 27 February 2012, Ewen Bremner had joined the cast of Bong's film in the role of "a man looking to rescue his kidnapped son [...] Bremner will be a father who offers to help." [103][104][105] On 3 April 2012, Luke Pasqualino was confirmed to have joined the cast of Bong's Snowpiercer.[106][107]
Bong states that it took four years to develop the project, with an additional three to produce with Park.[14] Stating, "Today, I feel I have overcome a terrible disease, like cancer cells had occupied my body during that time.", as well as expressing an interest in making smaller films in the future.[108]
Bong filmed Snowpiercer with anamorphic 35mm film photography as well as using 1.85:1 aspect ratio.[109][110] On 16 April 2012, Principal photography had officially begun in Prague, Czech Republic, at the Barrandov Studios on gimbals on its interconnected sound-stages after preparatory filming in the production occurred at the end of March, with a said budget near to $42 million, which was the largest film budget of all time for any film with Korean investors.[111] On August 2011 the studio was determined as the shooting location and on October 2011, Bong and his production team moved to the Czech Republic.[112][113][114] During the period of November 2011 and April 2012, the key members of the crew were secured and confirmed, those being: Ondrej Nekvasil, Eric Durst, Julian Spencer and Marco Beltrami. The preparatory production began in Tyrol, Austria during mid-March for one day to shoot some snowy scenery on the Hintertux Glacier, which made for excellent conditions and perfect weather.[115][116]
Roughly ninety percent of the film was shot on set. Bong's original wish was to shoot the film entirely in Korea, but a studio large enough to accommodate a set of such scale was difficult to find, thus Barrandov Studio was the ideal place of shooting instead, requiring the construction of a 100-meter replica of the title train.[111][117] In choosing Barrandvov Studio, Bong explained, "All the artwork, huge train sets and the gimbal were greatly completed and fully operational. Shooting at Barrandov Studios will never stop with a perpetual engine." [118] Bong's usage of the studio allowed his team and himself to carry out meticulous experiments to contrive perpetual movement by staging the film on a giant gyroscopic gimbal, which can roll from side to side or bend realistically, to give three-dimensional feel to the train [119]
Flash SFX, the team involved in the construction of the gimbal stated, "The main challenge of physical effects work was that of inventing and developing a system that would perfectly simulate movements of train in motion. We managed to create a massive gimbal system supporting train cars with a total weight close to 100 tons. It was capable of simulating all sideway motions and vibrations of the train, including perfect make-believe curves of railroad tracks." [120]
On 14 July 2012, principal photography officially wrapped in the Barrandov Studios after a 72-day shoot,[121][122] with post-production carried out in South Korea, and Bong started editing the film for its release.[122]
The visual effects company Scanline VFX worked on Snowpiercer.[123] Primarily the company worked mostly on the exterior shots of the film: the frozen city, the Yekatarina Bridge, the Frozen Harbour landscape in the sushi lounge, the "Frozen Seven" sequence, the industrial park in the shoot-out sequence and the post crash environment/avalanche at the end of the film.[124] Already having multiple designs, storyboards and basic concepts of the train cars, it set in motion the development of over 60 different versions of the various wagons for the train Snowpiercer, thus, "[...] we [had] a good idea of the vision of director Bong, we saw what he liked, and what did not work for the movie.", said visual effects supervisor Michel Mielke.[124]
Visual effects designer Eric Durst spoke of the Aquarium Car being an intriguing challenge of lighting, with the differentiation of a water-based environment on one side and a frozen-based landscape at the other. Durst and his team, including director of photography Alex Hong, had light "travel through water trays on top of the aquarium structure".[123] Himself adding, "These refracted the light spilling on the actors, replicating the way light would react in an actual aquarium environment." In the task of creating that world, Mark Breakspear and his team in Vancouver spent a great amount of time at the Vancouver Aquarium to study " the fish, the lighting environments, the way the light refracted through the water and glass, along with how it distorted the fish as they passed."[123]
One of the most challenging effects, on the train, was the length of the train, and the number of cars needed to be handled. Mielke had a "very complex rig" created and built to provide the animators involved in the creating process with enough capability as was possible, he stated, "The rig managed that the train automatically followed the rails, that the motion of the wagons where simulated depending on the rails, that the wagons could be changed easily and so on." [124]
Parallel to principal photography in Prague, the first designs of visuals spanned from May 2012 up until the final shots of early March 2013, with team of over 70 artists developing over 186 VFX-shots with almost 50 being full of computer-generated imagery.[124]
Costume designer Catherine George explained that Mason was initially inspired by a Smithsonian photograph that production designer Ondrej Nekvasil had found of an older lady amongst a room full of dead birds at the Museum of Natural History, who was a real person from Swinton's childhood.[125] In designing Mason's costume, George found images of women from their late 60's and early 70's, adding that, "[...] a certain type that I remembered growing up who would wear their fur to go into town and scoff at people who were less better off, a bit of a Margaret Thatcher type, really." [126] George also designed Mason's suit to look "a typical conservative politician shape and style" with the purple adding a royal quality to the attire.[126] She had "collected pictures of dictators wearing elaborate uniforms and crazy hand-made medals" to experiment with the designs of such a character.[127] George later admitted to the similarities to Ayn Rand, although not intentional.[127] George and Bong travelled to Swinton's home in Scotland with "a couple of suitcases of clothes, wigs, glasses and teeth" to play around with ideas.[125]
On creating individuality for the passengers in the tail section, George had the designs come from random materials they would use to fashion practical clothing, "The tail section clothing was pieced together from different garments and repairs were made on top of that. They had to improvise with any materials that were left on the train." [126] For the design of Curtis, Bong and George wanted him to be anonymous but at the same time recognizable. The design was difficult as George had to conceal Evans' muscular physique and muscle mass thus, "We had to cut out the sleeves of his under layers to help him look leaner." [128]
George personally designed the costumes for Nam and Yona, who wear the "darker-coloured intense black".[127] Taking inspiration from photographs of train engineers from an early industrial period and vintage French railway jackets, it was designed while she looked at utilitarian clothes due to Nam previously being a train engineer before his imprisonment. George also designed many of the tail section costumes, including Nam's, using Japanese Boro fabric.[126]
In creating Claude's yellow coat and dress, George was mindful of the fact it was the first colour of brightness in the tail section scene and well as the property of yellow being the most luminous colour in the spectrum.[126] She expressed, "It's the colour that captures our attention more than any other and in colour psychology yellow is non-emotional and lacking compassion." Camera testing occurred before deciding the final colours as well was observing how they'd interact, with the back drop of darker costume colours.[126]
Director Bong and his illustrators created various pieces of concept art for the train cars of Snowpiercer, led by Czech production designer Ondrej Nekvasil, who was brought onto the production team to help realize those visions.[87][129] Nekvasil approached the atmosphere of the train section it as if it were a "dark, monochromatic [...] life", emphasising poor living arrangements, to which he found inspiration from poor areas of Hong Kong and elsewhere to put in the set designs. In order to make the colours appear "used" and "dirty", Nekvasil and company started with colourful props that were subsequently washed out and forcibly aged to create a feeling of "really used property and space", while creating a back story to justify the appearance.[129]
When designing the train, Nekvasil and director Bong hit upon the idea of the train not being designed by one man in one specific moment; the idea that "these various train cars were built in different periods of Wilford's life".[130][131] Another idea was the logical scale of the train itself, though Bong entertained the notion of it being beyond a logical scale, Nekvasil stated, " [...] if it's 20 feet wide, it'll no longer seem like a train." [131] Dimensions and sizes were discussed, and the design sized finalised was "slightly bigger than a typical train", though enough to allow space for camera movement inside the train. The design was difficult due to distance limitations, as Nekvasil said, "... the biggest stage we had, which was about 300 feet long, was not big enough to fit everything." [131]
Instead than overly relying on CGI, Nekvasil's production design team constructed twenty-six individual train cars and used a giant gyroscopic gimbal in Prague's Barrandov Studios to simulate the movement of an actual train when shooting.[132][133] Director Bong stated that the gimbal was used on the third day of shooting, explaining, "Sometimes we felt carsick on set." due to realistic effect of the gimbal.[132]
Snowpiercer premiered at the Times Square on 29 July 2013 in Seoul, South Korea,[134] before screening at the Deauville American Film Festival as the closing film on 7 September 2013,[135] the Berlin International Film Festival as the part of Berlin's Forum sidebar on 7 February 2014,[136] opening the Los Angeles Film Festival on 11 June 2014,[137] and the Edinburgh International Film Festival on 22 June 2014.[138]
On 9 November 2012, The Weinstein Company acquired the distribution rights to Snowpiercer from CJ Entertainment, based on the script and some completed footage, with a plan for wide release in North America, as well as throughout the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.[139] It was released in the US on 27 June 2014 in just eight theaters in selected cities.[140] This delay was caused by Harvey Weinstein, an owner of The Weinstein Company, requesting 20 minutes of footage be cut and opening and closing monologues be added. Bong refused to cut it. American fans anticipating the film were outraged, spawning the Free Snowpiercer petition campaign (founded by cinematic activist Denise Heard-Bashur) demanding the director's cut of the film to be released in the US.[141] Eventually Bong succeeded in getting the film released in an uncut form;[142] however Weinstein retaliated by relegating the film to Radius-TWC, which meant the film only received a limited release in art house cinemas.[143] On 3 July 2014, it was announced that thanks to the positive reviews and buzz the film would get a wider US release and play in over 150 theaters.[144]
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in various countries, including France and Korea, over the Spring and Summer of 2014 first, before the movie was finally debuted in North American theaters. The film was eventually released on home media in North America on 21 October 2014.[145] Very shortly after, it became available on Netflix for streaming on 1 November 2014.
Since its South Korean opening, the film has earned US$86.7 million worldwide.[146] As of April 2014[update], it is the tenth highest-grossing domestic film in South Korea with 9,350,141 admissions.[147] The film holds the domestic record for the fastest movie (domestic and foreign) to reach four million admissions, which it achieved in its fifth day after premiere, and another record for the highest weekend figure (from Friday to Sunday) for a Korean film, with 2.26 million viewers.[148] The film took in a total of $171,187 on its US opening weekend, averaging $21,398 per theater.[3]
Snowpiercer received widespread acclaim from critics, audiences, and at festivals all over the world, particularly for Bong Joon-ho's direction, the film's cast (especially Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho and Tilda Swinton), visual scope, social commentary, Hong Kyung-pyo's cinematography, and Ondrej Nekvasil's production design.
Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 95% of critics gave the film a "Certified Fresh" rating, based on 164 reviews with an average score of 8.1/10, with the site's consensus stating, "Snowpiercer offers an audaciously ambitious action spectacular for filmgoers numb to effects-driven blockbusters." [149] Metacritic, another review aggregator, assigned the film a weighted average score of 84 (out of 100) based on 36 reviews from mainstream critics, considered to be "universal acclaim".[150]
Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave the piece an "A" rating, stating, "Snowpiercer sucks you into its strange, brave new world so completely, it leaves you with the all-too-rare sensation that you've just witnessed something you've never seen before...and need to see again." [151]
A.O. Scott wrote, in his review for The New York Times, "Planetary destruction and human extinction happen a half-dozen times every summer. It's rarely this refreshing, though." [152]
Andrew Pulver of The Guardian scored the film most positively, writing, "Snowpiercer works brilliantly, the sum of extremely disparate parts that adds up to cinematic excellence." [153]
Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out New York scored the film five out of five stars, writing, "Sprung from a 1982 French graphic novel and bearing its era's trickle-down tensions, Snowpiercer is a headlong rush into conceptual lunacy—but you'll love it anyway." Rothkopf praises Joon-ho, stating, "[...]Bong grabs onto the grungy conventions of postapocalyptic adventure with relish. He serves up claustrophobic action scenes (one largely shot in the dark) and ominous, messianic overtones as the band of rebels makes its way forward." [154]
Lou Lumenick of The New York Post gave the piece high acclaim, writing, "Don't miss it—this is enormously fun visionary filmmaking, with a witty script and a great international cast." He added, "The beautifully designed train is one of the most memorable in screen history [...]" [155]
David Denby of The New Yorker spoke highly of the piece, stating it to be, "Violent, often absurd, but full of brilliant surprises, while Bong keeps the center of the action moving toward the front of the train, a considerable feat of camera placement, choreographed mayhem, and cohesive editing," and praising Nekvasil's production design, "Bong and [Nekvasil], provide them with a series of sybaritic astonishments." [156]
Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter wrote a highly positive review, commenting, "Snowpiercer is still an intellectually and artistically superior vehicle to many of the end-of-days futuristic action thrillers out there." Speaking highly of Bong's film-making, Tsui wrote, "Bong's vivid depictions—aided by Ondrej Nekvasil's production design, Hong Kyung-pyo's cinematography and Steve M. Choe's editing—are exceptional." [157]
David Thomson of The New Republic remarked that "The most bracing and liberating thing about Joon-ho Bong's Snowpiercer is not just its lyrical forward motion, but the exuberance with which the film revels in its plot predicament." He furthers praises Nekvasil's "progression of design set-pieces" and Tilda Swinton's performance, saying "She is the life and soul of this riotous party, and you will be sad to see her disposed of, no matter that Mason's ghastly manner has earned it." [158]
James Rocchi of Film.com wrote that, "If the film has one element that never flags or falters, it's Evans." [159]
Scott Foundas of Variety wrote, "An enormously ambitious, visually stunning and richly satisfying futuristic epic from the gifted Korean genre director Bong Joon-ho." Foundas added that Beltrami's original score was "among the generally impeccable craft contributions [to the film]." [160]

In an interview with Spain's El Público, I discuss the latest reversals in the case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn: Why is the District Attorney trying to secure a reduced-charge guilty plea? Why did the prosecutors use a televised "perp walk," and why this is a common practice even though it clearly violates the presumption of innocence? What is likely to happen to the young hotel maid in light of questions about the truthfulness of statements she made to immigration authorities? (Incidentally, the interview incorrectly identifies me as a former chair of the ABA's Committee on International Law. In fact, I formerly chaired this committee at the New York City Bar Association.)

4 Bartlett pears, about 8 oz. each
1/2 cup Holland House® Marsala Cooking Wine
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
Vanilla ice cream
Toasted pecans (optional)
Not crazy about the sauce but the combination of pear and cinnamon makes it delicious.
Made this recipe exactly as written with leftover Marsala wine from Chicken Marsala. We did not have ice cream so served with cool whip instead.
3 Ratings
This recipe was divine AND was easy!! My husband and I loved it! I substituted apple juice for the wine since I didn't have any wine on hand and I also substituted cloves for nutmeg (just as a personal preference). Will definitely be making this again!

Arizona Diamondbacks
Wade Miley gets work in during D-backs' 9-0 loss in spring finale
The Good:
The Diamondbacks wrapped up their spring/exhibition season on Saturday afternoon. They suffered a 9-0 loss to the Reds, but starter Wade Miley didn't seem to suffer any setbacks in his final start. He threw six innings, allowed nine hits, four earned runs while giving up two walks and striking out three. He threw 96 pitches with 63 going for strikes.
Manager Kirk Gibson said before Miley's start that he expected him to get through the game and be healthy for the team's opening week of action. The D-backs shut Miley down earlier this spring when he was experiencing some "dead arm." The left-hander is expected to begin the year as the team's number four starter.
The Bad:
The D-backs allowed 16 hits in Saturday's loss and only recorded 5 hits themselves. That's two games in a row against the Reds that the D-backs have failed to put much offense together.
Reliever Heath Bell also didn't look sharp. He pitched just 2/3 of an inning but gave up four hits and two earned runs with one strikeout.
� Randall Delgado also put in some work in the loss. Heading into Saturday's game he was still battling for the fifth sporting the starting rotation. Saturday he threw 2 1/3 innings and gave up three earned runs on three hits. He's been battling Patrick Corbin all spring for the final spot.
Up Next:
The Diamondbacks will enjoy an off day on Sunday before they host the Cardinals on Monday for opening day at Chase Field. Ian Kennedy will make the start for Arizona and will be opposed by Adam Wainwright for St. Louis. First pitch is slated for 7:10 p.m.
Opening day lineup: Parra, Prado, Hill, Montero, Goldy, Kubel, Pollock, Pennington, Kennedy
The D-backs also announced that former Diamondback and Cy Young award-winner Brandon Webb will throw out the ceremonial first pitch Monday.

Door to Airport Lowest price, quality service, owner Allen is super, always on time by Safety Man in Winter Garden - 11/17/2010
I needed a ride from my business to Orlando airport for a 5 AM Saturday flight. I called all the big names that came up on my Google search. They all had high prices ranging from $69 to $129 for a one way shuttle.I did a search through Dex Knows and Allen's company Crown Royal Transportation came up. I called, Allen answered right away and he gave me a super low price of $40 for a one way trip from Winter Garden to the Orlando airport.Allen was on time, the cab was clean, he got me to the airport on time.I recommend Allen and Crown Royal Transportation.They have the best 24/7 service and the lowest rates in town.

Atlantic University is an American institution of higher education in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It is associated with an Edgar Cayce organization, the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.). Its offices are in the A.R.E. headquarters.
The university was founded in 1930 as a four-year university, but closed two years later due to the Great Depression. It was restarted in 1985 as an M.A. program in Transpersonal Studies, conducted mainly through distance education. The first class graduated in 1989.[1]
A few courses are offered as residentials, either at A.R.E. headquarters or at other locations in Virginia. The program contains six tracks: applied spirituality, consciousness, creativity, general studies, leadership and conflict transformation, and transpersonal visual arts.
The school is nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council and licensed to operate by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Although nationally-accredited, Atlantic University is not a Title IV institution and therefore does not offer Federal Aid.
