Actor Interview #7 – Paul Marlon
August 3, 2012 Leave a comment
Back in February 2011 I attended the Bootleg Film Festival in London and saw the feature film SSDD by filmmaker Greg Hall. It was the best film of the festival and in the centre of it was an outstanding performance from an actor called Paul Marlon (further down the page I have included a scene from SSDD where Paul gives a monologue about Conan the Barbarian, watch it, it's brilliant). I then got to know Greg and when he sent me his latest short film Bruised this year I saw once again a knock out performance from the actor Paul Marlon. I discovered that Paul was also writing collaboratively with Greg and producing as well and that they were both planning a feature film together.
In May, Write Shoot Cut screened Bruised and Paul and Greg came up from London for the screening. It was fantastic to meet them and Paul was a humble, passionate, lovely guy who spoke enthusiastically about the craft of acting and the lengths that he goes to for a character (the full Q&A from this event is at the end of the page). I have nothing but respect for them both and what they are trying to achieve with their careers.
Paul is currently crowd funding for said feature film and I encourage you to read this interview then go to their site and pre-order a copy of the DVD for the new feature thus getting your hands on a cracking piece of independent British film and helping it get made.
Paul isn't just passionate, he's talented and works hard too. Watch the short film Bruised and be blown away by Paul's performance, both physical and touching. He reminds me of Robert DeNiro or Paddy Considine (and I'm not saying that lightly). I'm delighted to host this interview and I wish Paul all the best with his career, he's someone who deserves to do well.
Please tell us a bit about yourself and what you are currently working on?
My name is Paul Marlon I am a professional actor based in Kent just outside London. I have been working hard in the industry for many years in theatre, T.V and film as well as writing and producing my own work.
At the moment I am working on co-writing Broke But Making Films forth feature film Communion in which I am also playing the main role of Father Clemence.
Who/what inspired you to embark on a career in Filmmaking?
I am never sure who or what inspired me to act. I was definitely a child who loved T.V and film. I grew up with my Mum playing funny characters to us as kids and my Dad showing me classic films like The Italian Job and Play Misty For Me. The truth was though as a kid all I wanted to do was make people laugh and loved everything comedy from Laurel and Hardy to Blazing Saddles.
Have you had to make any sacrifices and how have you coped with that?
To do anything you love comes at a cost. For me sacrifices happen every day. Whether it's being away from home regularly, missing birthdays, weddings, or just being able to have time off. The hard truth is that I have to work every hour god sends doing things I hate just to spend five minutes doing the thing I love…..Acting.
What is your ultimate goal/what drives you?
My drives come from my child like energy and incessant worry of failure. I also am a hopeless hyperactive and so have to always be busy. Though often I moan I am too busy or am being moaned 'at' for being too busy I would rather that than idol.
How do you define success?
My ultimate goal is probably linked to the way I define success. Oscar Wilde said, "If you find a job you love, you will never work again" if you get to live by this then you've won and well done. Paying the bills and leaving the house every day with a smile on your face has to be the dream for me.
How do you feel about collaboration?
Collaboration is the key to all things creative in my eyes, especially in the film business. I am nothing as an actor without someone to film me, someone to record my voice, then someone to watch me. When writing or creating a piece with others it has its moments when ideas clash, but often if you ride that storm together you can find something even better from the wreckage.
Do you have a niche or genre that you specialise in?
Do I have a niche or genre that I specialise in? Err well the mad thing about me is that my background is in comedy. I do stand up and was a Butlins Red Coat entertainer back in the day. As an actor though I often play the tough guy, the sleaze bag or the thug. To the people who know me I would like to think that's not how they see me but in all my characters I try very hard to bring a sense of realism and a heart no matter who or what they are perceived as.
What was the title of your first film (Your first first film, not the one you are happy to call your first film) and can you tell us a bit about it?
The first film I was in was a feature film called Burnt written and directed by a very good filmmaker friend of mine David Hillman. It was about nine different people all living in a squat, which was a haunted, burnt out theatre/cinema. It had its troubles and has its holes but a big shout out to David because as far as a no money, pre-digital first feature film goes, it was bloody good.
Favourite Actor?
Robert de Nero, Al Pachino, at the minute I'm enjoying Michael Fassbender and of cause the legend that is Michael Caine and the one and only Gene Wilder.
All-time top 5 movies (as of this date, we all know it changes daily)?
- Blazing Saddles
- Unbreakable
- Goodfellas
- Inception
- 44 inch chest
What is the best short film you've seen?
Virgin media short winners – Black Hole or Sign Language.
First film you ever saw in the cinema?
I saw E.T with my mum and dad and brother when it was first out. My sister was too young so had to stay with Nan and Granddad but as I was only 4 1/2 I cried my eyes out. (I've cried at it every time since).
A random/funny story of anything you have experienced in the film world?
Whilst shooting Bruised our last short I took a hit from the lead actress Clare in my left arm. The vain in my arm popped out by a clear inch and has not been the same since. (All for the love).
Favourite film related website?
Write Shoot Cut of course!
What advice would you give to first time actors?
What apart from get a proper job!!! Haha. Just to make sure you are good to all the people you work with, work as hard as you can and never say never. If you can train then train, it will give you so much as a grounding but you will learn on the job forever so don't walk about thinking you know it all. Don't think acting is an easy route, it's the hardest thing I've ever done but it can be the most rewarding.
Here is the full Q&A that Paul and director Greg Hall gave at Write Shoot Cut in May.
Check out Paul's showreel and credits on his Casting Call Pro page and find out more about Broke But Making Films on their site.

Mid 2007 IMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with the operating system on one partition and files on another. 50 + gigs available on the operating system partition. On boot up I get a blue screen then a grey screen with the flashing question mark. Booting from the Snow leopard install DVD I get to the installation program up to where to install the operating system then the installer cannot seem to find a valid disk to install Leopard on. The screen remains blank, and cannot continue. Is this a sign of a dead hard drive? there are no grinding sounds and an hour before I was watching Two and A half Men which I I had recorded with Elgato EyeTV Hybrid. After that I had the spinning beach ball, did a hard boot and after that, the blinking question mark. Any thoughts?
Boot from the DVD as you have been but rather than trying a reinstall open Disk Utility from the Menu Bar and run verify/repair disk
I tried that, no harddrive there either
I tried that, no hard drive there either, just the dvd

Monday, June 25, 2012 at 8:02 am
While these Busters have examined all sorts of scientific phenomena, internet rumors, and other assorted "myths" -- some of which we still can't believe are true -- some of their subjects are nerdier than others. Here are our picks for the 10 nerdiest myths MythBusters has taken on so far.
10) Archimedes' Death Ray
This historical myth was so controversial the first time the MythBusters crew attempted it, it attracted the interest of America's "Nerd-in-Chief" himself, President Barack Obama. The story goes that ancient Greek inventor Archimedes invented a death ray by focusing reflected sunlight from polished bronze shields into an intense beam so intense that he used it to set fire to attacking Roman vessels. The first time the show tried it, the experiment failed, but Obama reasoned it could work if more shields were used. So, operating under "Executive Mandate," Jamie and Adam enlisted the services of an entire high school science class to redo the experiment. The beam proved hotter and more intense than their first attempt (which used only eight or so "soldiers"), but it still failed to set anything aflame. In the end, it was posited that the technique may have been used to blind Roman sailors, thus making their assault more difficult, but as a means of turning attacking ships into smoldering cinders, no way.
9) Duct Tape Survival
What exactly is nerdy about duct tape? Well, it's tough to put it in words, but there's something inexplicable about this miraculous substance's appeal to our kind of folk. I believe it takes the fevered mind of a certified nerd to look at a simple roll of grey tape, and wonder if one could make working black powder cannon, or a sailboat, or lift a car, or build a bridge... or even make a honest-to-God airplane (all these things have been achieved, by the way). A new duct tape specific episode is made whenever the MythBusters think of more new and wonderful possible uses. This recent season kicked things up a notch by stranding Jamie and Adam on a "desert island" with nothing but a pallet of the magic tape for survival (building shelter, finding food and water, signaling for help, maintaining mental focus, etc). They survived, obviously. Duct Tape is just that powerful.
8) Tesla's Earthquake Machine
Nicola Tesla has been a certified nerd icon for generations: Beyond the brilliance of his theories and inventions, his well-publicized feud with Edison branded him as the brainy outsider who fought against the dominance of a flashy competitor. He's like the smart kid whose science project was too complicated for the judges to understand, and thus lost out to the popular kid who built the biggest baking soda and vinegar volcano. Unfortunately, Tesla's brilliance began to fade into madness in his later years, and though some of his proposed inventions would later provide great material for science fiction, few of them were ever tested empirically. Enter... the Earthquake Machine. Using the principle of resonant frequencies, Tesla believed this device could destroy any solid object, and possibly even the Earth itself. It took hours of thankless work for Adam and Jamie to properly replicate Tesla's device, which they then tested on an abandoned bridge. While the structure was not reduced to rubble as predicted by its inventor, the vibrations it caused resonated much further than the MythBusters expected. Could this machine have caused the devastation Tesla claimed had he been alive to rebuild it? Probably not... but we'll never know for sure.
7) The Car Punch from Hellboy
Remember the scene in the first Hellboy movie where Hellboy stops an oncoming car by bringing his badass stone hand down on its hood, causing it to flip through the air? Sure ya do! Could it happen? Not as far as MythBusters could find out. It doesn't matter how much force you use in punching it down on its hood, a car of the type used in that scene simply won't pivot enough to flip over. They even tried to compensate for this by adding an extension to the hood, thus pushing the fulcrum back. Still didn't work. In the end, it's nothing more than an example of comic book physics in action -- scientifically absurd, but awesome to see.
6) Super Powers
This entry is something of a cheat, as it's not really an examination of a myth, and wasn't a part of an aired episode, but instead appeared on the Mythbusters website. Regardless, it's simply too nerdy to pass up. See, there was an episode which dealt with things from superhero comics and movies that could conceivably be tested and reproduced in the real world, so the matter of super powers wasn't really explored. To make up for this oversight, the gang moved the discussion to the web where Jamie and Adam focused on the feasibility of becoming a superhero by receiving the abilities of a spider, while Tori and Grant mulled over the pros and cons of gamma radiation exposure. Guess which there are more of?

Welcome to the Writing major at the University of Central Arkansas. We look forward to working with you over the course of an exciting four years. Within the Writing major, students can choose between two tracks, 1) Professional Writing and 2) General Writing. In addition, students can pursue a General Writing minor or a Professional Writing minor.
Track 1: Professional Writing Major & Minor
The Professional Writing program is designed to give students theoretical and practical experience in developing writing that works, that is to say, writing people use (to make decisions, to get work done, to get information, etc.) such as social media, Web sites, green papers, training materials, reports, and proposals for a 21st century audience.
Professional writers specialize in designing information so that it is usable quickly and easily.
Track 2: General Writing Major & Minor
The strength of the General Writing program is its breadth. Students in this track will take 36 hours of writing classes in rhetoric, composition, creative writing, linguistics, and professional writing. As a result, students will leave the program with a solid interdisciplinary understanding of the field of writing, including its creative, scientific, and professional aspects. Our recent graduates include a campaign communications advisor, the founder of an arts academy, a legislative assistant, a research analyst, a flight attendant, a number of Peace Corps volunteers, teachers of English as a second language, a music columnist, and many have gone to graduate school in law, linguistics, creative writing, rhetoric, TESOL, English, journalism and education.
Professional writers would turn this

Today's economy runs on information, and it is abundant. The downside is that much of it is highly complex, and most of us contend with information overload. Professional writers specialize in turning data into usable information. We translate complex data so people can use it, and we design information so that it can be used quickly and easily. As you can imagine, these skills are essential to every organization.
The language organizations use to identify jobs in this area include the following, for example: editing and publishing, professional and technical writing, grant writing, developing training materials, coordinating social media, coordinating digital content, designing and writing content for Web sites, Web-based training, multimedia writer, communications specialist, communications manager, writing policies and procedures, writing online help and other kinds of documentation for products and applications, information designer, and magazine writing. Students will also be prepared for graduate study in professional writing, rhetoric, composition studies, law, journalism, business and education.
This part of our program provides substantive and numerous opportunities to work with community partners in designing and creating written products for print and digital delivery using the latest tools. As a result, students leave this track with a solid record of experience as writers and designers evidenced by important connections in the community and a portfolio of work. We also encourage students to participate in as many internships as they have time for to try on life in various organization types and professional writing roles. One of these internships can be designed for course credit.

Between learning what various third world countries are currently calling themselves, debilitating bouts of senioritis, and trying to keep track of who their classmates are dating, the students at Waccamaw High managed to put together a talent show for a packed and very supportive audience to highlight some of the things they would normally get in trouble for doing in class.
Sponsored by the WHS Choral Boosters and directed by Sylvia Warr, the lineup consisted of mostly singing acts, but also included a video entry, dancing, comedy, and a girl who plays the piano with no shoes.
Luckily, though, there was no ventriloquism.
I was amazed at the number of different areas of talent from the kids, not just the singing and dancing youd normally expect, said Kevin Jayroe, the events emcee. And there were also original pieces from some of the kids that were just fantastic
Jayroe, who himself has more than 20 years of entertainment experience, brought his perpetual enthusiasm to keep things smooth and lively between acts.
The musical acts were: Courtney Beebe; Ariana Senn; Joshua Stafford; Jasmine Stafford; Alan Pritchard, along with Margaret Stacy, Sylvia Warr, and Sydney Windham on backup and Tyler Elling on trumpet; Sarah Hawkinson and Jeremy Lee; Sydney Windham; Sarah Ness and Will Ness; Trey Hart; The Brothers Will (Bryson Grove, Gabe Kohler, and frontman Will Ness); Richard Rasheed; Ian Sovine; Jack McDonald and Patrick Walsh; MaLaysha Nesmith and Darmonica Brown; Valerie Hawkins; Margaret Stacy; Stephanie Cook; and Ashlyn DeLoach accompanied by the shoeless Alexa Bombich.
Other performances were: a video presentation edited by Ian T. Kelley; dances from Stella de Haas, Nahjee Funnie and Emerson Joyner; and stand-up comedy Eric Silvestri.
Stars shone, ovations were made, door prizes were given away, and a good time was had by all.
It was a fun evening, said Jayroe, it was very well attended, the kids were great, they were kind and nice and excited about the whole thing, and I just thought it was a great event for the school.

How to Position Union Plus Benefits on Your Union Website
Union members are interested in learning about their benefits, and many visit their union websites to find out more.
Now, put yourself in an average user's shoes. Pretend you're interested in joining the union - or seeing what the union has to offer you because you're a member.
- Where would you find information on your site?
- How many clicks does it take to get you there?
- Does that section of your site include Union Plus benefits information?
- If only the name "Union Privilege" or "Union Plus" is listed on your site, would the average user know what that meant?
Following are 3 tips that have worked for other local unions who inform their members about the benefits online:
Develop a "Member Benefits" section on your union web site. Avoid labels that your users won't understand - e.g. Union Privilege Programs. Instead, use more descriptive text like "Money-saving benefits for union members".
A benefits section lets your members know the value union membershipbrings to them. In this section, you can provide information not only on Union Plus programs, but your other union benefits. We also recommend using our brand name "Union Plus" instead of Union Privilege and the URL: www.unionplus.org.
Within your "Member Benefits" section, you can include a list of short descriptions for all your union's Union Plus programs on your site. Use these simple automated tools for inserting benefits descriptions and your list of Union Plus benefits will ALWAYS be up-to-date.
Avoid burying the Union Plus link in an "Other Links" list or "Resources" page with many other links. Union Plus benefits are often an integral part of the reason union members sign up for and/or retain their union membership. So tying the Union Plus programs into main sections of your site will attract more users to the benefits of union membership.
Post an automated web banner on your home page - it's easy!
If you want to feature specific banners for benefits your member's particularly like, please use the following:
- Stay informed about new and updated Union Plus benefits by signing up for the Union Plus Leader Update. Sign up for the free monthly e-newsletter at www.UnionPlus.org/Enews.
Need help or have suggestions? Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Union Leader Line at 1-800-472-2005 (8:30 am - 4:30 pm ET, M-F) or 202-293-5330 in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Kobo has beaten Amazon to the punch with the unveiling of a new 7-inch tablet to compliment its eReader line-up
The Kobo Arc is a 7-inch Android device that will be looking to steal some of the thunder from Amazon's possible Kindle Fire follow-up.
Not only that, but with a price point matching that of Google's popular Nexus 7 tablet, the Arc could be the new kid on the budget tablet block.
The specs sheet certainly seems up to task. The Kobo Arc features a 1.5 dual core Texas Instruments processor backed with 1GB RAM and a 1,280 x 800 pixel resolution on the IPS LCD display.
It arrives running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, with Kobo's own Tapestries interface layered on top. You'll get access to the 600,000+ apps already on Google Play as well as the Kobo catalogue of over 3 million ebooks.
The Kobo Arc will retail for £169.99 for the 8GB version and £199.99 for the 16GB model.
Alongisde the Arc, Kobo is also concentrating on traditional eReaders with the Kobo Glo and the Kobo Mini.
The Glo is a 6-inch eReader with an e-ink display illuminated by ComfortLight - an adjustable front-light that means you'll be able to read books, newspapers or magazines in the dark.
The Glo weighs 185g and measures 10mm in thickness. There's 2GB of internal storage and even with the light on, Kobo estimate you'll get one month of battery life from the £99 Glo.
The runt of the litter however is the Kobo Mini. A dinky 5-inch eReader with swappable colours and a friendly £60 price tag.
The Glo and Mini will hit shops on October 1, while the Arc is slated to arrive on our shelves in November.

Kenya's sorrow: the U.S. connection
Absent from most of the mainstream American media was an examination of exactly what role the U.S. has played in Somalia over the past decade.
Why the U.S. does what it does in Ukraine
If you want to understand why our government is so worked up about Ukraine, a good place to start is with U.S. actions in Yugoslavia some 25 years ago.
Cuba airline bombing anniversary shows U.S. double standard on terrorism
Last Saturday, U.S. military operatives carried out raids in Libya and Somalia. Coincidentally, the raids took place one day before the 37th anniversary of a major terrorist act for which the United States has never held anybody accountable.
Kenya carnage will beef up African anti-terror efforts
Before the Westgate attack, Kenya had successfully thwarted a number of terrorist plots. The coming days and weeks are likely to see more beefed up, continent-wide efforts to counter terrorism.
"Humanitarian intervention" in Syria is a hoax
The language the administration is using to argue for an attack on Syria is morally bankrupt power politics, not humanitarianism, and would violate international law.
Mali elections go smoothly, but problems remain
In a runoff presidential election on August 12, former Prime Minister Ibrahim Boubacar Keita easily beat engineer Soumaila Cisse.

TWO men have been jailed for attacking a child porn offender and driving him from his home on a South Derbyshire caravan site.
Their victim, who cannot been named for legal reasons, ended up with a fractured skull when the vigilantes went to his caravan and he refused to hand over his camera, Derby Crown Court heard.
Ten-month prison terms were imposed on David Evans, 50, of Marston Lane, Rolleston-on-Dove, and Walter Benn, 27, now of Central Avenue, Ibstock.
They admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm on July 27 at the caravan site in Swadlincote.
Judge Jonathan Gosling said: "Because of the retribution for the offence he committed, it makes your offending more serious. You forced him to leave the site, causing humiliation on top of his injuries."
Jim Metcalf, prosecuting, said a woman had intercepted a solicitor's letter addressed to the caravan dweller, relating to a charge of making indecent images of children.
The men heard about it and called on him at his caravan.
"They asked to have a word, said they had heard that he had indecent images of children on his camera. They demanded he hand over the camera, he refused and that is when the assault took place," said Mr Metcalf.
The man was repeatedly kicked and was told he had to leave the caravan site. He went to hospital where a fractured skull was discovered as well as bruises to the face.
Chris Lacey, defending Evans, said there were about 20 caravans on the site and the woman suspected the victim 'had an unhealthy interest regarding children'.
She intercepted the man's post and had a 'eureka moment' when she opened the letter to discover he was pleading guilty to the child porn offence. The attack was not planned and Mr Lacey added: "His main concern was for young children going to the site but he acted in a way he accepts was inappropriate."

Justin Tucker: I'm good from 70 yards
Do teammates fully trust Justin Tucker now?
Justin Tucker is feeling it. The Ravens kicker, fresh off his 61-yard, game-winning field goal last week, is confident he can hit the green of that monster par-5 in 2. Or, in football terms, be good from even farther away than the NFL-record 64 yards.
"If I pulled out the 8-degree driver — on a day when I'm feeling real fresh — I could probably hit one from 70 yards,'' Tucker told USA Today. "I hit one from 70 yards in pregame in Detroit this past Monday night.''
Tucker realizes he's not going to be regularly trotted out to try from that distance.
"The reality is a situation like that will come up once in a blue moon," he said. "But if you have that club in your bag, you never know when you're going to need to use it.''
[RELATED: Tucker wins special teams player of week - again]
Because NFL rules call for the opposing team to get the ball from the spot of a missed kick, a failed 70-yarder would give your opponent the ball at your 40-yard line. Suppose this happened near the end of a tie game. The other team could immediately try a 58-yard field goal after your miss.
Under ideal conditions, Tucker said he could kick it even longer.
"In practice, I've hit from 79 yards,'' Tucker said. "That was in Denver before our opener in September. The weather was perfect; the field was good. With the altitude in the Rocky Mountains, the ball jumps off your foot."

Now, this is not one of my favorite films ever, but, for a Quentin Tarantino film, it's very strong…mostly because of its performance by Christoph Waltz as Nazi officer Colonel Landa. It's a long film, and like Tarantino's other works, it's very stylized and very violent. But, it features performances that make it worth seeing and Waltz's performance, in particular, propels this film from standard-violent-war-movie to an excellent work of cinema. Waltz steals every moment he is on screen…unlike most Nazi characters portrayed in movies (I'm especially thinking of Ralph Fiennes' cold-blooded killing machine in Schindler's List), Waltz plays Landa with a sincerity and seeming likeability. We think "what is he after," since we never know what to expect with this quietly deranged character; his light demeanor constantly keeps us off guard. And Tarantino really does capitalize off of this stellar performance. Landa's scenes are visually elegant and the cast in scenes with Waltz seem to be pulling out all of the stops to give their best performance to match Landa's maniacal, yet pleasant chill. As for the movie on a whole, it is a new twist on the WWII years in Europe…told with a strong film and filmmaking element. For movie buffs (like myself), I did enjoy the dialogue between the characters about the movie industry and 1930s directors and actors, etc. And, whether you like that "Hollywood" angle or not, it is something that really has not been touched on in a major way before. The style is unique, as usual for Tarantino, and his brash, bold techniques add to the power and intensity of the film. If you can tolerate the violence, check this one out! It's a far cry from Pulp Fiction, but it's a strong film on its own…highlighted by exceptional performances.

Confused about bootcamp and Parallels
I am about to add Windows 7 to my iMac. I also have Parallels to add.
My confusion is whether (1) to do a partition of my iMac hard drive first and load Windows 7 to that partition, and finally then to load Parallels or (2) to load Parallels first and then add Windows 7 to it as a virtual machine.
I did not find in the Parallels' manual a discussion of what to do when you have Windows 7 already on your iMac, only how to add Windows 7 once Parallels is in place.
I may be confused even as to my terminology above.
I don't think it matters which order you install them in since partitioning will completely isolate each part of the hard drive, so the OS X part won't be effected by windows at all.
What do you need to use windows for? It might turn out so you only need parallels or only need bootcamp.
I use Windows for a stock trading program as Schwab doesn't make a Mac version for one of their trading platforms.
I have found on previous attempts that restarting the iMac to get to Windows is time consuming. With Parallels I can have an open window into Windows 7.
Still, I am confused. If I load Windows so that I use BootCamp to use Windows, and then add Parallels, will Parallels find and let me get into that Windows 7, or does Parallels make me load Windows a 2d time, in other words does Parallels find Windows 7 is already on the iMac? Again, I am confused about whether to add Windows 7 before Parallels or not.
You will have to load Windows 7 onto bootcamp and parallels separately.
If you have Windows already installed via Bootcamp, Parallels, as well as VMWare Fusion will be able to use the installed copy of Windows as a virtual Machine. You will then have the choice to boot directly into Windows if needed, or just load it up in a VM.
I think there's an inconsistency here? I do or do not need to load Windows twice?
Never mind, I was wrong. Sorry about that, apparently you can install windows on bootcamp first, then parallels will let you use it as a virtual machine.
Do you have Win 7 already on your machine under Boot Camp?
If yes, then just install Parallels - it will detect the BC partition and offer to create a virtual machine from it.
If no, then do you need to access your hardware natively under Windows (i.e., the graphics adapter for hard core gaming or video editing, 3D rendering, etc.)? If all you are doing is running productivity applications, you may not need Boot Camp.
If you don't need the native hardware access (and most users do not), then first install Parallels - it will then prompt you to use the Win7 disk to create a virtual win7 machine under Parallels.
either way, you only need to use the Win7 disk once.
Hope this helps but your original post was unclear about what you have and what you need.
I too use some old legacy PC only programs. One that will never see a Mac version as the niche market is too small to justify a new version for OSX given dual and virtual booting options. These are technical/scientific datalogging programs and are very light on resource usage - storage space, ram, CPU cycles, graphics.
I looked at Win7 and it looks like an install is about 9-16 gb. And it needs lots of memory running it virtual can have speed hits on those programs plus OSX programs in some cases. Since Win7 prefers something like 2-3 gb to feel snappy leaving less for OSX.
My old legacy program is maybe 50 mb and the simple data files are a few hundred kb. Tiny. The virtual XP needs only ~0.5 gb of memory to feel peppy.
So I loaded XP into Parallels. I forget the size of the latter but a stripped XP is under 0.7 Gb. Some versions are much lower if you take the time to strip things away and turn off never to be used features and services.
Now I run the logger stuff in XP virtually. In it's own desktop "space". And there is zero noticeable lag or resource hogging or excess hard drive space being used. You can't tell in OSX if the virtual stuff is running. And you can't tell in virtual XP that you did not boot up in XP for real. Nice, and no blue screens and glitches.
I suggest you look at your needs to see if simpler might be better. If you just need to check your accounts and so forth Win7 has so many features, services, drivers, and resource needs that will never be used.
What I read on the Parallels forum has confused me more.
A post in May says ( and I summarize a bit) "I have a Bootcamp partition. I want to use Parallels to access the partition while in Mac OS X without losing the ability to restart and go into a native version of Windows 7." [end of quote]
An answering post on July 26 to that is as follows; "Try this (using Parallels Desktop 5):
File -> New... -> Skip Detection -> Windows 7 -> Custom -> select Processors (probably half what you have), select RAM (probably half what you have or at least 4 GB less than your total) -> Boot Camp Partition -> select the disk and which partitions are for Windows 7 -> Shared Networking -> Virtual Machine -> select name and location." [end of quote]
Wow…do I have to do that if all I want to do is be able to have Windows 7 where I can reboot and go to Windows or use Parallels and also be able to go to Windows7?"
Why not use the Mac version of Schwab's software? They seem to have one. Oh wait that dates back to the days of dialup…
It would be cool to have a Mac version all synced and tweaked for iPhone and laptop...

CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö A Churubusco man is facing three charges after allegedly attacking his neighbor because of loud music.
Joshua Leffel, 25, was arrested for criminal mischief, battery causing bodily injury and residential entry after a dispute with a neighbor in a nearby apartment on Maple Lane.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö It sits in the kitchen of the Thomas Marshall Home on East Jefferson Street, in Columbia City ŌĆö a big, red, wheeled contraption that takes up close to two cubic yards of space. Its place in the Whitley County Historical Museum is a far different one than its original place at the end of a counter in a piece of Americana.
The machine is a commercial coffee grinder that originally sat in the Coesse General Store. Originally built in Phildelphia by the Enterprise Company, the huge grinder was a focal point of the store.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Parkview Whitley HospitalŌĆÖs Family Birthing Center welcomed its 400th baby of the year Tuesday, marking the first time the hospital has delivered 400 babies in a single year.
Brandon and Kailee Weaver welcomed their third child, Nash, just in time for the holidays. Little Nash joined the Weaver family just in time as his father, Brandon, who is a member of the United States Marine Corps, is preparing for deployment in the coming days.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö ┬ŁParkview Whitley Hospital, along with the rest of the Parkview Medical System, has imposed a series of visitor restrictions that will stay in effect until further notice.
These restrictions are in reaction to a particularly virulent form of influenza that medical authorities, including those at the Center for Disease Control, have labelled ŌĆ£H3N2.ŌĆØ
PIERCETON ┬Ł┬ŁŌĆö Fourth graders at Pierceton Elementary School gave up a school gift exchange this year to help others in need.
The fourth graders in Bill RhodesŌĆÖ and Michelle BallŌĆÖs classes have donated shoeboxes and small items to go in them.
Students packed the shoeboxes to be sent to children for disaster relief and in Third-World countries.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Minor league baseball is alive and well in Fort Wayne. So says John Nolan, the on-air broadcaster for the Fort Wayne TinCaps. Nolan spoke this week to the Columbia City Rotary Club about his background and how he came to be the broadcaster for the local minor league baseball team.
ALLEN COUNTY ŌĆö Officials are continuing to investigate the death of a Churubusco woman who was found dead on Christmas Eve morning.
At approximately 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, police were called to the area of U.S. 33 and Hildebrand Road, halfway between Churubusco and Fort Wayne, with the report of a deceased woman in the roadway.
The woman was identified as 44-year-old Andrea Danielle Balser, of Churubusco.
BalserŌĆÖs cause of death remains under investigation. Those with information are asked to call the Allen County SheriffŌĆÖs Department at 499-3000.
When the holiday celebration is over you don't have to let the good taste go to waste! There are a few creative ways to recreate new tasty dishes with remaining food. Here are some tips and tricks to makeover holiday leftovers.
Early morning motorists Friday were greeted with a slick coating of ice on roadways after meager nighttime precipitation turned icy with temperatures in the low- to mid-30s.
Streets, parking lots and highways were particularly hazardous.
Allen County police were warning motorists to stay off I-469 around Fort Wayne due to treacherous conditions that resulted in numerous personal injury and property damage accidents.

Was it the beginning of something good, or the beginning of the end?
I have seen you at your best,
I have seen you at your worst

We always think of you first
And in those times in life when things begin to fade
Always remember the friends that you have made
Whether you're Dmom or the Pretty Pink Sugar Princess

This article is about me and my family. We really appreciate the support. I also ask that anyone with an opinion speak up. Please try and help us be heard. We have attended multiple council meetings, and got no where. I believe that there is power in numbers, and we could all really benefit from it. So please, if you support us, please call your council person, and try and speak out at the council meetings. This could have happened to anyone in town, and I am certain that it will happen again to someone else.
In addition to the article I would just like to shed some light on the poor record keeping at the DPW. We had 3 floods at our home. I ask anyone to try an ORPA request a report of any kind. All you will get is a few pages from a dispatch log stating the day, time, who went out, and in our case the words "our problem" written in it. The second time (a month after the first time) we had them at our home they guaranteed it would not happen again. They stated that they had to put a camera in the line to figure out what the issue was, and confirmed that there indeed was an issue. They also assured us that they would monitor and maintain the line until it was addressed. They then promptly retreated to their truck and left. The only record again was a dispatch log entry stating that it was their problem. There was no follow up at all, and no maintenance records for my street between the second and third flood which took place 10 months later. After the third flood they finally did a camera inspection. They found a system of roots completely blocking the line which took an hour or so to cut through. The camera could not even enter on first attempt. At the time of entry it came to my attention after that they had not pressed record on the camera until they cut out the blockage, leaving no documentation on the tape. I have since requested from the town on multiple occasions a report outlining their findings, and blatantly they refused. So again, no record. I am uncertain but I am sure if you requested from the town any records of the day there may be a log entry stating when and who and that there was an inspection, but probably doesn't go any further than that. Totally unacceptable in this day and age for there not to be better record keeping and or reporting. There needs to be a reform in RP that has to start with the DPW. We are all at risk.

Whether they're wielding Thor's mighty hammer, slinging the huntsman's sharp ax,or cradling his baby girl, Chris Hemsworth's arms get the job done. And they get it done beautifully. Happy birthday, to you, and that guy you're attached to!

Jersey Shore
Are Sammi and Ronnie the Next Jersey Shore Couple to Get Engaged?
Snooki and Jionni have been happily engaged for a while, and now wedding bells are in the air for JWOWW and Roger Mathews. It was only a matter of time before our Jersey Shore faves found love and began to settle down, and we can't help but wonder, who's next?
Sammi Sweetheart tweeted that she was "so excited" to see JWOWW get engaged on last night's episode of Snooki & JWOWW, teasing "this better be good!" Never one to miss out on a chance to dish his latest one-liner, Roger tweeted back in response: "[You're] next! I set a pretty high bar for Ron to top I think. (That wasn't even a short joke)."
Roger's proposal to Jenni was certainly exciting and sweet, but could he be right about Ron and Sam? He is friends with Ronnie, as the two often tweet back and forth, so maybe he's put a bug in his fellow guido's ear!
It makes sense that Ronnie and Sam are next in line to take that big step as a couple. Despite a rocky past full of fights and break-ups, they've seemed to grow and mature a lot together over the past few years. And if we're honest, we can't imagine The Situation ever settling down, and though Pauly D has said that he'd like to someday, it'll probably be a while until then. Vinny recently reunited with his girlfriend Melanie Iglesias, but we're thinking it's far too soon for him to consider proposing.
Snooki has said that she doesn't think 24-year old Sammi will get married until she's much older, but who knows? Crazier things have happened, like former party girl Snooki devoting her life to becoming a much more conservative mama!
Do you think Ron and Sam are next to get married? Would you like to see Ron propose? Share below!

Arizona Cardinals
NFL Draft: Breaking down QB Ryan Nassib
I asked for a little help Wednesday on Twitter as I was going through my notes on Thursday's prospect, Ryan Nassib, who is a very interesting quarterback in this year's draft class.
You see, there are a couple of highly-regarded NFL talent evaluators, Russ Lande and Greg Cosell, that have Nassib as the top quarterback prospect in this year's draft.
Then there are other guys, and I fall into this group, that just don't know what all the hype is about.
Nassib shows some good things at times -- some really good things, actually -- but he never puts it together consistently.
The Good
Short/Intermediate Throws
When you watch Nassib throw the ball in the 1-15 yard range, you see a guy that looks like he has a howitzer attached at the shoulder.
The ball comes out clean with a tight rotation, meaning he throws a very catchable ball, and goes to a spot where his receiver can grab it and make a play after he gets the ball in his hands.
He shows a good ability to read the defense and get the ball out quickly to a spot, even when that spot may be in a tight window.
Nassib has the ability to get the ball out when there is trash around him, showing an ability to move up or out of the pocket and make an accurate throw.
He has a little John Skelton in him at times, in the sense that he doesn't always change velocities when he is throwing the ball. That gets him in trouble when he's throwing to spots and not to receivers, but that is something that could be correctable with solid coaching.
More so than anything else, Nassib is incredibly accurate in the short/intermediate passing game, as he shows a comfort level with those throws. In the five games I charted nearly 25% of his passes were "Bruce Arians" throws, between 11-20 yards in the air, and he completed over 60% of them.
Pocket Sense
When you watch Nassib work in the pocket against a four-man rush he looks very comfortable. His feet are always moving, allowing him to be mobile within the pocket, move up to avoid the rush and get the ball out.
When he's right, Nassib generally is hitting the last step in his drop and getting the ball out to his receiver, taking pressure off of his offensive line to hold their blocks for an extended period.
Nassib can become a little too deliberate at times with his reads, but he keeps his eyes downfield and feels pressure (even if it isn't always there), moving in the pocket and not just standing still.
The Bad
Working through reads
This may be a West Coast Frankenstein Offense he comes from, but Nassib generally is not working off multiple reads, and instead goes to read one or two and gets rid of the ball.
When I talked about his ability within the pocket, I noted that he can be deliberate at times and that generally was when he was working deeper into his route progressions -- at least that's how it appeared to me.
Nassib gets a little ahead of himself at times and misses open men in an effort to get rid of the ball instead of moving to his next read, leaving a lot of the "chunk" plays on the field in favor of living to play another day.
This may be a good thing in a West Coast Offense, but in Bruce Arians' vertical attack, this won't work.
The Ugly
Getting Vertical
I've noted that Nassib showcases a strong arm and a comfort working in the intermediate range of the passing game, but when he tries to get vertical, something happens.
You watch Nassib throw on short routes and his arm strength looks like it would lend itself to getting the ball deep and being a weapon in a vertical passing attack, but when he's asked to push the ball down the field into tight windows his velocity drops and his accuracy goes away.
When he tries to put something behind his deep throws it looks more like he is shot putting the ball down the field, rather than throwing it.
Nassib is an interesting quarterback prospect, and one that is so divisive because of his unique shortcomings.
Are these flaws mechanical? If so, his other abilities would definitely lead me to believe he could be an option in the Arians offense.
He needs to learn to throw with a change in velocity/trajectory to different planes of the field, but his ability to put zip on those 15-yard passes in tight windows makes you think he'll be a weapon.
The term "lacks functional arm strength" is what worries me the most about Nassib.
Can he become not just competent, but effective throwing into those deep windows consistently? If not, I don't think he'd be a fit in Arizona, but with Carson Palmer in place for at least one season -- and I am saying he will be the man for two -- that means Nassib will have time to work with Arians and Tom Moore to figure those things out.
He'll likely come off the board at the bottom of round one or top of round two, and could be the "stash" type of QB talent that Arians will be looking for in order to transition from the Palmer era.

This was simple enough on my windows PC to rip a DVD as the DVD reader was set to read dvd's from any region, but I know that my iMac is not. I am in europe ( thats dvd region 2) and have dvd's from North America I would like to convert to play back on my ipad/apple TV. I know that apple would want me to pay again and again and again for the same thing, but is there a way to convert my DVDs from both region 1 and 2 without compromising the number of 'dvd region' setting options the mac allows? you have 5 attempts before the mac locks onto only 1 specific dvd code. I hate that the mac cannot be made dvd region free :-(
I have looked at handbrake, but am unsure if I put in a non-region dvd for conversion if it counts against the number of 'attempts' my mac keeps in determining what region the dvd player ultimately locks onto.
This awful feature of an un-lockable dvd drive prevents me from enjoying my movie collection on my mac :-(

The packaging was nice, the band looked spectacular, the cigar....not so much. the draw on it was brutal, to the point where my face hurt, and i couldn't cut off anymore without destroying the cap. the flavor was almost no existent for the first 1/3 of the cigar, then there was a little flavor, but by then my face hurt so bad from trying to draw off the cigar in an attempt to taste it i couldn't really sample it, then the draw got really tight again, i ended up throwing the cigar away a little past halfway, which was almost an hour and 45 minutes into it, the only detectable flavors from the cigar itself was spice, lots and lots of spice, i would say go ahead and try one if you absolutely have to, but your money is best spent elsewhere.
Although I'm not much for extravagant packaging, this is a very good stick. Medium in body, a woodsy-sweet smoke with an even burn. A little pricey, I would forgo the packaging and the bandana for a better cigar and pricing.
It's a nice cigar, but not worth the high price. $7-7.50 each is fair enough for this [the largest and longest size], but I would never pay more. I am a Camacho maduro lover [the old ones from Christian Eiroa] and this one just is not a full flavored one...maybe a notch down to a strong medium. It was good and had an even burn but the last 2" were bitter although smokeable. Even so, I nubbed it. I bought a fiver...hopefully the others will be a bit stronger.
