Marvel's The Punisher
Internet TV

Boxset Monday: Marvel’s The Punisher (season 1) (Netflix)

The Punisher in all his incarnations has always been something of an accidental success. A former marine, Frank Castle turns lethal vigilante following the murder of his family by criminals, becoming judge, jury and executioner to those who would break the law. He had no powers, just his military training, a heap of weapons and a skull on his chest, and he was originally a bad guy – one of Spider-Man’s many badly becostumed adversaries in the early 70s.

Spider-Man and the Punisher

But it was that almost unique willingness to kill in comics that made him such a success that he eventually got his own comic and no fewer than three (pretty bad) film appearances, where he was played first by Dolph Lundgren, then Thomas Jane and finally Ray Stevenson.

However, his success ended for a while when a 2011 attempt by Fox to produce a TV series starring the character fell through.

But let’s now flash-forward to the era of Netflix and its Marvel superhero shows. The plan from the outset was very clear: there would be four one-season superhero shows – Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist – which would then lead into a team-up show The Defenders.

The first sign everything was going off-plan was when Daredevil got a second season. It’s hard to tell whether that had been planned from the outset; however, it seems likely given

  1. Netflix awarded Daredevil another season only a week after its first season aired
  2. The whole plot of that second season is vital to the plot of The Defenders

Nevertheless, what definitely wasn’t part of the plan was the success of guest anti-hero/baddie The Punisher in that second season. That can be put down to the ‘lightning in a bottle’ casting of Jon Bernthal. Bernthal’s always been part of the supporting cast, never the lead.

He’s Andrew Lincoln’s best bud in The Walking Dead, not Andrew Lincoln.

He’s Ben Affleck’s brother in The Accountant, not Ben Affleck.

He’s the guy Andrea Anders rejects in The Class to go back to her husband (although he ends up with Lizzy Caplan so it’s not all bad).

But as Castle, Bernthal was the undoubted star of the second season of Daredevil, a brutal match for Charlie Cox’s gymnastic lead – a blue-collar grunt to Matt Murdock’s white-collar, morally-torn lawyer.

Bernthal so occupied the role that it’s hard to think of anyone else being able to play the character and it wasn’t long before Netflix and Marvel realised what they’d got and decided to break with the plan and commission Marvel’s The Punisher, with Bernthal as its lead.

The question was what form the show would take. Would it follow on, for example, from the comics’, the movies’ and season 2’s general theme of a man giving ‘the punishment they deserve’ to mobsters, rapists, paedophiles et al who seem to be above the law and escaping justice? Yet, how would a white man with a lethal arsenal shooting up cities go down in an age of the alt-right, MRAs and mass-shootings by white men who feel aggrieved by society? And how would it go down against the liberal backdrop of Netflix’s other shows: Daredevil stuck up for the poor and oppressed; Jessica Jones deconstructed superheroes, male power and sexual violence; Luke Cage asked what a black man can do for his community and others against both oppression and police shootings; and Iron Fist looked at the responsibilities of the rich towards the poor and the rest of the world.

The various trailers Netflix produced in the lead up to the show’s released seemed to suggest business as usual for Frank Castle – lots of gunfire against a rock soundtrack. And yet, oddly, that’s not what Marvel’s The Punisher is. For the most part, the show is instead the white, working class male’s equivalent of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. It’s a look at family, responsibility, friendship, parenting, class, class loyalty, what it is to be in the military and to have brothers-in-arms, the consequences of violence, and the role of government in helping the working class. And oddly, there’s very little punishment meted out.

Here are those moderately misleading and spoilerish trailers. Slightly less spoilerish review of all 13 episodes after the jump.

Boxset Monday: Mindhunter (season 1) (Netflix)

Serial killers have been such a part of modern culture (and life) for so long, it’s hard to remember that we weren’t always aware of them or even that we never always used to call them ‘serial killers’. There were, of course, the Manson murders and Son of Sam killings, but the point at which we really started to feature them in popular culture can be traced back – more or less – to one man: Thomas Harris. It was his book and the subsequent movie Silence of the Lambs that introduced the world to Hannibal Lecter and the fictional serial killer.

Silence of the Lambs was actually Harris’ third book, the first being Black Sunday, which was about terrorism and was itself turned into a movie. To research it, Harris visited the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico, where he learnt about serial killers and how the FBI was trying to catch them. It was this research that formed the basis of both Silence of the Lambs and his second book, Red Dragon, which was filmed as Manhunter.

Manhunter sees former FBI adviser Will Graham (William Petersen) brought back from medical leave to apprehend a serial killer known as ‘the Tooth Fairy’. However, he can only do this by adopting the mindset of a serial killer, something he does by visiting one of the killers he caught and who invalided him out of the profession: Hannibal Lecter.

The movie was heavily auteured by the then Miami Vice supremo Michael Mann, and reflects many of his then obsessions, ranging from the fashions and MTV-friendly soundtrack through to its love of police procedure. But it’s its superb cinematography, the central performances (particularly Brian Cox as Lecter) and the film’s mimesis that ensure it remains to this day my favourite film.

Manhunter is less well known than Silence of the Lambs, but it is arguably as important since it was the first movie to detail three things:

  • The importance of scientific forensics in capturing criminals
  • The idea of psychologically profiling serial killers – working out how they think in order to capture them
  • The idea that thinking like a criminal can ultimately make you just like them

The first gave us the likes of CSI (also starring Petersen), the second Profiler, Millennium et al, the last Luther and its ilk.

The serial killer craze is still with us, of course, but it arguably reached its zenith in terms of popularity and quality with Se7en, a modern film classic and the movie directorial debut of David Fincher, who would go on to direct Fight Club, The Game, The Social Network and other greats. He’s one of my favourite film directors and Se7en is my second favourite film.

As auteured as ManhunterSe7en obviously has many things in common with its predecessor, but its biggest difference is its direction and cinematography. Fincher’s meticulously precise, calculated direction is the opposite of Mann’s flash. Everything moves at a slow measured pace, with minimal action, whereas Manhunter has frequent moments of adrenalin-rushing excitement. Mann (with the help of cinematographer Dante Spinotti) is all pastels and primary colours; Fincher’s love of black meant that he actually worked with cinematographer Darius Khondji to create a ‘silver retention‘ print of the movie to emphasis different levels of shade.

The two movies are both very similar yet hugely different.

And now, Mindhunter

As well as his movies, Fincher can also be credited with another important contribution to popular culture: the transformation of Netflix from a simple DVD library and streaming service into a prestige online TV network. For it was he who exec produced and largely directed the first season of House of Cards, Netflix’s debut in original programming. Had it been directed by a lesser person, it’s likely that Netflix would be thought of in very different ways right now and might not be anything like as successful.

Now for his latest Netflix project we have the answer to a question I never thought would ever be answered: what would have happened if the man who directed my second favourite film had directed my favourite film, too? Because we now have Mindhunter.

Yes, that was Mindhunter. Pay attention.

Review: American Gods 1×1 (US: Starz; UK: Amazon)

In the US: Sundays, 9pm E/P, Starz
In the UK: New episode available every Monday

By all rights, Neil Gaiman’s American Gods is a novel I should have in some lovingly crafted Folio Society edition, situated in pride of place on my bookshelf or on a small shrine. Pagan gods? Check. American setting? Check. Neil Gaiman? Check and double check – after all, I spent most of my university days not just avidly reading Gaiman’s comic book works, particularly Sandman, but looking like its titular character, too. This is basically a photo of my sister and me in the early 90s.

Sandman and Death

Imagine the confusion and fear among knowing bystanders when we met up.

And yet, somehow, American Gods passed me by. I’ve not read it; I’ve not even listened to any of the audio books of it. I don’t even want to, despite very much enjoying Gaiman’s work on Doctor Who and his novel (co-authored with Terry Pratchett), Good Omens. Odd, hey?

A new TV show, though – one co-showrun by the marvellous Bryan Fuller (Heroes, Hannibal, Mockingbird Lane, Pushing Daisies)? Maybe that’s more my speed now?

So, sign me up, but don’t expect comparisons with the original, only answers to the thorny question of whether it’s a good TV show or not.

The story follows the fantastically named Shadow Moon (Hollyoaks’ Ricky Whittle), a con serving a three-year prison sentence who’s released days early when his wife is killed in a car accident. Trying his best to make his way home for her funeral, he encounters obstacle after obstacle, until he comes across conman ‘Mr Wednesday’ (Lovejoy‘s Ian McShane) and his luck mysteriously changes. Maybe that’s got something to do with the leprechaun (The Wire‘s Pablo Schreiber) he also meets. At least, he says he’s a leprechaun, but he’s mighty tall, so Moon has his doubts. Probably not because of the height, though.

Discovering his wife wasn’t quite who he thought she was, Moon is tempted by an offer of employment as Mr Wednesday’s ‘heavy’, but before he even starts, he’s discovering that Mr Wednesday has some very, very odd, very nasty, sometimes completely faceless enemies.

And that’s basically the plot of the first episode, which really isn’t that inspiring a piece of work. Not much happens other than establishing that Moon is rather similar to Luke Cage in terms of personality, if a bit less indestructible and without half the charm or catchphrases. There’s also little of the fantastical about it until the end, and what there is, largely doesn’t work, Schreiber’s leprechaun (who may be from Ireland. Or Russia) being an amalgam of stereotypes about Irish people being drunkards and fighters, rather than anyone liable to lead you to the end of any rainbow. I imagine that later episodes will be where we discover the rather important central conceit of the series that there’s a war between New Gods (such as technology) and Old Gods (such as Odin) being waged in America. That sounds more interesting, doesn’t it?

But there are some things that work. Ian McShane is obviously marvellous as the scheming Mr Wednesday (“Today’s my day” – gosh, I wonder who he might be), but what really lifts American Gods out of the ordinary – at least at this stage – is the mise-en-scène. Hovering here in roughly the same orbit as season 2 of Hannibal (ie not quite as perfect as season 1 but not as far up its own arse as season 3), American Gods does have some truly lovely and sometimes disturbing visuals, as well as the equally unsettling, jazzy dissonance of Brian Reitzell’s musical compositions. As it’s on Starz, there’s also quite a bit of the Spartacus gore along for the ride, too, with some blood tableaux that are often breathtaking.

Without those, there’d be little to mark out the show from any other piece of generic fantasy, though. There’s almost nothing of Gaiman or Fuller’s wit and wisdom in any of the dialogue and where it gets fantastical, it’s often in ways that make you scoff rather than wonder.

Gaiman says that a lot of the first episode is new but still in keeping with the book, so I’ll give the show the benefit of the doubt for now and hope it gets better in later episodes as they return to the original text. There’s also a top cast of guest gods due later on (Crispin Glover, Kristin Chenoweth, Peter Stormare, Gillian Anderson, Orlando Jones, Corbin Bernsen, Jeremy Davies), which should make that task a whole lot easier.

But this isn’t the way back into either Gaiman’s or Fuller’s works that I was expecting. Still, maybe we shouldn’t expect miracles.

Mary Kills People
Canadian TV

Review: Mary Kills People 1×1 (Canada: Global)

In Canada: Wednesdays, 9pm ET/PT, Global

Euthanasia doesn’t seem like the best subject for a comedy drama, even a dark one. In fact, it isn’t, judging by Mary Kills People, in which Caroline Dhavernas (Wonderfalls, Hannibal, Off The Map) plays a doctor who somewhat illegally helps the terminally ill to end their lives even sooner in exchange for a big pile of cash.

The easy flame against Mary Kills People would be that watching it makes you want to end your own life, it’s so dull. Easy, but true, unfortunately, since the opening episode that introduces us to Mary, her family, her partner in crime (Richard Short) is something of a slog that makes you long for the sweet release of death.

The opening is a misjudged failed euthanasia of 19-2‘s Adrian Holmes that ends with Dhavernas smothering him with a pillow then leaping out of a window. That’s still more exciting and better judged than anything that happens afterwards, which is largely about the logistics of Dhavernas’ operation, how she keeps it secret from her daughter and the fact she might be attracting the attention of some people she really ought to be avoiding. Attempts to forge a buddy-buddy relationship between Dhavernas and Short are stilted and lamentable, largely being discussions about which of their patients they’d have sex with.

The show wants to think it’s starting a conversation about the morality of euthanasia, but has nothing much to say on the subject having started the conversation. Is what Dhavernas doing right or wrong? Is it ethical to have a relationship with someone you’re about to murder at their own request? Big shrugs from Mary Kills People, but isn’t Dhavernas pretty? Ooh.

To the show’s credit, it is at least exploring a novel and bold idea from a novel and bold direction. But by the end of it, you feel that the whole thing is an attempt to redo Weeds in Canada with a slightly different ethical issue, rather than to do something genuinely groundbreaking.

What have you been watching? Including Goliath, Finding Dory, Chance and Frequency

It’s “What have you been watching?”, my chance to tell you what movies and TV I’ve been watching recently that I haven’t already reviewed and your chance to recommend things to everyone else (and me) in case I’ve missed them. There’s also the Reviews A-Z, for when you want to check more or less anything I’ve reviewed ever.

Thanks to the Thanksgiving holidays in the US last week, lots of programmes were taking a slight breather and few new ones decided to stick their heads above the parapets. That means it’s been a quiet week for TMINE, with only Search Party (US: TBS) to deal with in the ‘new’ category and the regulars reduced to just Chance, DIrk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, The Flash, The Great Indoors, Lucifer, People of Earth, Supergirl, Timeless and Travelers – I’ll be dealing with them after the jump.

On the plus side, though, that did mean I could not only play catch-up with an Internet TV box-setted into our laps a little while ago, I could also watch a couple of movies.

Goliath (Amazon)
‘A legal thriller by David E Kelley! Whoopdy doo,’ I thought. Like most people, I immediately think of the likes of Ally McBeal, Boston Legal and Harry’s Law when I hear Kelley’s name; unlike most people, I also think of his reasonably poor efforts with Wonder Woman, the dismal The Crazy Ones and the putrid Wedding Bells

However, Kelley hasn’t always been king of fluffy backlash legal dramas. Back in the day, he created The Practice, a supposed antidote to the cutesy view of legal work perpetrated by LA Law; on said show, the story editor was one Jonathan Shapiro, a former Rhodes Scholar and professor of law.

Together, they’re responsible for Goliath, a legal drama that stars Billy Bob Thornton as a former top lawyer who’s fallen on hard times. Then Nina Arianda (Hannibal) turns up needing Thornton’s help with a case involving the supposed suicide of an engineer who worked for a major arms manufacturer. Before you know it, Thornton’s David is taking on the Goliath that is his old legal firm, which includes ex-best friend William Hurt, ex-wife Maria Bello (Prime Suspect) and newby lawyer Olivia Thirby (Dredd 3D), and the might of the US defence industry.

Mostly, this is a show that owes a lot more to Shapiro than Kelley tonally, being about legal clevery dickery and shady big name clients in the same way that Suits was when it started. Shapiro’s legal knowledge really shines here and Goliath goes through all manner of things you’ve probably never seen in a legal drama before (“complex cases”, using the rules of contempt to get evidence admitted, etc). It’s also quite dark, with bodies being found in car boots, witnesses being run over, police abuse and more.

But Kelley’s name isn’t on the sign simply to drum up trade. There’s a definite air of Kelleyisms to Goliath around the edges, ranging from some actual jokes through the daft names the lawyers at Hurt’s firm call each other (“The Mole”, “The Mouse”), Hurt’s facial scarring and his use of a clicker to communicate when he wants to be annoying, Thornton almost representing the forces of the un-PC against the PC tyranny of the Goliath-like enemy (Thirby has a stammer and uses the American Disability Discrimination Act to counter Thornton’s tricks; Bello is gay and has a girlfriend who also works at her law firm), to some distinctly dodgy attitudes towards women and some ethical issues to be considered, such as revenge porn and whether lawyers should break privilege to report wrongdoing by their clients. Arianda’s practice even feels a lot like the one in Harry’s Law.

Goliath is still a lot better than I was expecting, probably being the second-best original Amazon drama after The Man In The High Castle that I’ve seen. It’s also a lot tenser – I’m six episodes through the eight episode run and each episode has managed to ratchet up the claustrophobia as Thornton’s got closer to the truth and increasing danger. I’ll probably watch the final two episodes tomorrow, in fact.

But it’s still got enough Kelley daftness, is slow-moving enough and fails to make you care enough for the characters that I can’t really recommend it. If you like John Grisham-style legal dramas, though, this is certainly worth a look-in.

Frequency (200)
Since the TV adaptation is currently airing on The CW/Netflix and I’d never seen the original, I thought I’d give it a whirl just to compare and contrast, especially since it’s currently free on Amazon Prime. At its heart, like the TV series, Frequency is about a father and his grown-up child cop managing to communicate by radio over several decades and using information about the future to change the past – again, to prevent the father’s imminent death and to subsequently stop the change in history that is the mother being murdered by a nurse-hating serial killer.

Starring a whole bunch of people now famous from other TV shows (Jim Caviezel, Shawn Doyle, Elizabeth Mitchell, Andre Braugher, Noah Emmerich), it’s pretty much the same as the first season of Frequency so far, but with a few interesting changes, such as the dad (Dennis Quaid here) being a fireman not a cop and there being a 30-year time difference, not a 20-year difference. It’s a lovely idea and the film has an emotional depth that a lot of sci-fi movies lack, but I think I actually prefer the TV version, since the longer running time gives that a chance to explore a whole bunch of issues that the movie has to leave to montage moments at best, and the gender-swap to a daughter evens out the original’s not inconsiderable sidelining of women.

Still, given it was set in 1999 (nearly 20 years ago now, guys), it’s almost like watching time travel anyway, with its reference to Yahoo! as a good stock option.

Finding Dory (2016)
The tear-jerking Pixar delight, Finding Nemo, saw a widower father searching the world for his partially disabled son, following the latter’s kidnapping. The twist? They were fish.

Here, in this sequel, their mentally challenged best friend Dory (Ellen Degeneres) comes to the fore as she remembers she had a family back in the day and despite her inability to form short-term memories, goes looking for her mother and father, Nemo and co in tow.

For about the first 10 minutes, this feels like a retread of the original but after that, Finding Dory sets its own path, introducing all-new characters and species that live in or near the marine park that Dory thinks her parents might be living in. It’s a lovely piece of work again, with some top moments of comedy and joy, but it never quite hits the emotional highs (or lows) of the original and the final act starts to descend into the silly. Admittedly, it is a movie about talking fish so silly is relative, I guess.

Something both parents and kids can enjoy, but not quite an absolute classic.

Important Steps in the Home Selling Process

Learn important steps to selling your home

Rear view of a young couple looking at a house
••• Getty Images/Glow Images, Inc

The home selling process is the same whether you are selling for sale by owner or hiring a listing agent. Certain details may vary slightly among the states, but I will use California as the example since the state usually sets the standard for much of the country. Some jurisdictional differences include the seller hiring a real estate lawyer rather than an agent and the buyer submitting an "intent offer" prior to executing a purchase contract.

To sell your home:

1) Choose a Listing Agent

  • A listing agent will represent you and have a fiduciary responsible for looking out for your best interests.
  • Interview agents and meet with at least three real estate agents. Try to hire experience.
  • Ask questions about your listing agreement, including the length of time the home will be listed.

2) Find Out How Much Your Home Is Worth

3) Get Home Ready for Sale

4) Market Your Home

  • Hire a virtual tour company to take quality photographs and put a virtual tour online.
  • Tweak marketing to increase traffic and showings.
  • Confirm that your listing is posted online. Your agent or you should saturate the Internet with photographs and descriptions of your home.

5) Show Your Home

6) Receive Purchase Offers and Negotiate

7) Open Escrow and Order Title

  • Your agent or transaction coordinator will open escrow and order a title policy.
  • Write down the contact information for the closing agent.
  • Select a date to close based on when the buyer's loan will fund.
  • Ask for a receipt for the buyer's earnest money deposit.

8) Schedule Appraiser Appointment

  • Clean the house the day before the appraiser arrives.
  • If you receive a low appraisal, ask your agent about alternatives.
  • You are not entitled to receive a copy of the appraisal because you did not pay for it.
  • If the buyer decides to cancel the contract based on an appraisal, ask your agent or lawyer about your rights.

9) Cooperate with Home Inspection

  • Ask your agent to provide you with a home inspection checklist so you will know which items an inspector will want to see.
  • Prepare the attic and basement for inspection, too. Move stuff away from the walls in the garage.
  • Also, prepare for the final walk-through inspection which takes place a few days before, or the morning of, closing.

10) Obtain Seller-Required Inspections

  • If your contract calls for a roof certification, hire a reputable company to conduct the inspection.
  • States that allow for termite or pest inspections make these reports public records.
  • The fees for all inspection reports, even if seller-mandated, are negotiable.
  • If your home was built before 1950, a sewer inspection might call for a new sewer line, but trenchless sewers are less expensive to install.

11) Delivery Seller Disclosures

  • All homes in the United States are subject to lead-based paint disclosures, not just those built before 1978.
  • If you are aware of material facts, disclose them.
  • Your title company should provide CC&Rs, but if you belong to a homeowner association, additional documentation will be required.

12) Negotiate Request for Repair

13) Ask Buyer to Release Contingencies

  • In California, for example, contracts default to 17 days, at which time, the buyer must release contingencies.
  • If you do not demand a release, buyers are not obligated to provide it.
  • If buyers do not provide a release, in California, sellers have the right to cancel the contract.

14) Sign Title and Escrow Documents

  • In southern California, you will sign escrow documents shortly after opening escrow.
  • In northern California, you will sign escrow documents near closing.
  • In other states, it is common for everybody to sit around the table, all buyers and sellers, so ask your agent for the norm in your state.
  • Bring a valid picture identification.

15) Close Escrow

  • Your property deed, reconveyance and deed of trust will record in the public records.
  • The title company will notify you and your agent when it records the deeds.
  • Depending on buyer's possession rights specified in the contract, you may be required to move on the day the home closes or prior.

At the time of writing, Elizabeth Weintraub, CalBRE #00697006, is a Broker-Associate at Lyon Real Estate in Sacramento, California.

Situations That Cause Distressed Property

Issues That Can Lead to Property Discounts

Picture of Situations That Cause Distressed Property
••• Situations That Cause Distressed Property. Image Source/DigitalVision/Getty Images

Distressed property can often be purchased below market value, so they are very desirable to property investors. Foreclosures and short sales are not the only reasons you can get a deal on a property. Here are seven situations that can lead a seller to be motivated to sell their property quickly and often at a steep discount.

7 Situations That Can Cause Distressed Property

  1. A Couple Separating or Going Through Divorce-
    If a couple who owns a property together separates, the home is often put up for sale. Since both parties are motivated to get rid of the property quickly for emotional and/or financial reasons, these types of properties are often priced to sell quickly rather than to get top dollar for the property.
  1. A Death in the Family-
    A death in the family can lead to a distressed property.
    • Two Owners:
      If the home is owned by two individuals and one passes away, the remaining person may not be able to fulfill the mortgage commitment on their own. They may put the property up for sale at a discounted price in the hope of getting it sold quickly before they default on their mortgage.
    • One Owner:
      If a property has a single owner and he or she passes away, the property is usually put up for sale in something known as an estate sale. Again the intent here is not always to get the highest price possible, but often to unload the property quickly and divide the money up among the remaining kin.
  2. Job Relocation-
    Property owners who have to move quickly due to a job relocation are motivated to sell their current residence quickly so they are not paying two mortgages. This often leads to a willingness to accept a lower offer than they would have otherwise entertained.
  1. Financial-
    A distressed property often arises due to some sort of financial strain. Whether a job loss, pay cut, divorce, medical condition, or some other financial drain, the owner is no longer able to afford to pay the mortgage, taxes, or municipal services (water /sewer, trash collection, etc.) on the property. The owner may be eager to sell before they miss a mortgage payment, so they are willing to accept a discounted price for their property to avoid doing so. Another scenario is that they may have already missed numerous payments and are working to get their bank to accept a short sale to prevent the property from going into foreclosure.
  1. Condition-
    The condition of the property often warrants a reduced sale price. Some common property conditions that can lead to reduced sale prices are:
    • Properties That Need Updating- Properties that are in poor condition will not merit top dollar, so buyers who are willing to take on these fixer-uppers can often purchase the property at a reduced price.
    • Properties That Need Extensive Renovation– Some properties need layout changes, additional square footage, plumbing and electrical work, a new roof, changes to the foundation or even a gut renovation. These properties that need more than a few simple updates are often steeply discounted because the pool of interested buyers is that much smaller.
    • Property Renovations in Mid-Construction- These are properties with renovations that were started, but not finished. For example, a developer buys a property, starts renovating, but runs out of money and is unable to complete the renovation. The developer then puts the property up for sale to attempt to recover some money from it or cut their losses. In these properties, work often needs to be completed before the property is habitable.
  2. Partnership Dispute-
    A distressed property can be the result of a dispute or falling out between two parties who own a property in a joint venture agreement. They may have to unexpectedly sell the property once their relationship goes south so an interested buyer can benefit from their necessity to sell.
  1. Bank Owned (REO)-
    Properties that have been foreclosed on and are now owned by the bank can often be obtained at steep discounts. The lender’s goal is simply to unload the property at this point. Beware because many of these properties need extensive renovations as they have been abandoned for a long period of time.

Remember that this is not an exhaustive list of distressed properties, but it should give you a good working knowledge of situations to look for that can allow you to get a good deal on a property. Look for problem properties and then find a way to solve the problem.

2017: A Major Trend Toward Miniaturization

When I look back on 2017, one word jumps out when I think of audio, video and associated gear: Miniaturization. Yes, everything — and I mean virtually all of it — is getting smaller, lighter and more compact while the quality gets better.

What Does “A Look” - Look Like?

Broadcasters and videographers use various strategies and elements of craft to effectively communicate our stories to viewers. First and foremost, the storytelling imperative requires a clear communication of genre.

Rapid Change and Smaller Size Comes to Video LED Lighting

For the past few years, development of all LED lighting has been on a roller coaster ride. A beneficiary has been LED lighting for professional video. It has gotten better, cheaper and smaller — much smaller.

Lighting: the Transition to LEDs. Pt 1

Artists have exploited light as an essential part of art since the days of the old masters. Techniques like chiaroscuro use light to model the subject, to give depth to the two-dimensional rendition. These artists had two forms of light…

U.S. Ambassador to Libya Killed

The U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed last night in a targeted rocket attack. By Jamie Dettmer.

Ben Curtis, File / AP Photo

TRIPOLI—The U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three State Department officials were killed last night in a targeted rocket attack, after riots over a U.S. film depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud. The assault came as the envoy sought to reach safety during a vicious Salafist assault on the American consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, leading to a fierce five-hour fight that saw Libyan security withdraw under the intensity of the gunfire, according to Libyan officials. President Obama confirmed the deaths, calling them "outrageous."

Libyan officials say Stevens was killed when his car was targeted deliberately as he and some staffers tried to move to safety following the initial attacks on the consulate. He is only the sixth serving U.S. ambassador ever to be killed while on duty. The attack involving dozens of gunmen from the Islamist Ansar al-Sharia group as well as other militants saw fierce clashes between them and U.S. guards and Libyan security units.

One of the American State Department employees may have died of smoke inhalation from the fire at the consulate, according to U.S officials. Another appears to have been killed in the exchange of gunfire. Gunmen, armed with semiautomatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, shot at the building and threw handmade bombs into the compound. They eventually took over the building when Libyan security units and police withdrew under the intensity of the attack, according to Abdel-Monem Al-Hurr, spokesman for Libya's Supreme Security Committee.

European missions in Libya were put on high alert today, ramping up their security arrangements and ordering staff to avoid all but essential travel, and several U.S. and European NGOs and other international missions considered whether they should evacuate staff from Libya following the killings, which have emphasized how unstable and lawless the country is becoming with the central government unable to enforce its will.

The violence in Benghazi coincided with furious protests in neighboring Egypt. About 2,000 protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy in Cairo, tearing down an American flag and burning it. Yesterday was also the 11th anniversary of 9/11 and, while the focus of the attacks in Benghazi and Cairo was on a U.S. movie ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad, the demonstrators railed also against the U.S. generally, decrying the post-9/11 U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and American support for Israel.

The president of the Libyan General Congress, Mohamed Yussef Magariaf, promised to coordinate additional support to protect Americans and other Westerners working in Libya. He pledged his government's full cooperation and this morning held emergency talks with Libyan ministers. Ironically, today was meant to have been a landmark day for the country’s fragile and violence-marked transition from autocracy to democracy with the announcement of who would be Libya’s first postelection prime minister after voting in the new Parliament.

Stevens was a noted Arabist and became ambassador in June. He had served in Tripoli as the deputy ambassador before the rebellion that ousted Col. Gaddafi last year. He was the Obama administration’s liaison with the Libyan opposition during the rebellion.

Libyan government officials acknowledged the connection between the Benghazi violence and the protests in Cairo. "There is a connection between this attack and the protests that have been happening in Cairo,“ said Hurr, the Libyan security spokesman.

Watch a clip of the movie 'Innocence of Muslims,' which sparked the attacks.

In Cairo protesters replaced the U.S. flag with the black flag of Islamic militancy. Mohamed al-Zawahiri, the brother of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, was among the protesters in the Egyptian capital, where demonstrators chanted “Obama! Obama! We are all Osama!” The younger Zawahiri was released from an Egyptian prison jail earlier this year after serving 10 years on charges of militancy.

Earlier on Tuesday, scholars at Egypt’s influential Al-Azhar mosque condemned the film ridiculing Prophet Muhammad produced by an Israeli-American real-estate developer in California, Sam Bacile, and promoted by among others Florida-based Christian evangelist Terry Jones, whose burning of a Quran sparked riots in Afghanistan in 2011. The condemnation and news about the movie moved like wildfire across Islamist Facebook pages. Salafi preachers took to Islamist satellite channels to add their fury.

The two-hour film of a symbolic "trial" of the Muslim prophet has not been shown yet, but a 14-minute trailer of the movie was posted on YouTube both in an English version and another dubbed into Arabic. The movie, Innocence of Muslims, depicts Muhammad as a fraud and a womanizer. Bacile told reporters that he doesn’t know who dubbed the film. Terry Jones said that the film shows “the destructive ideology of Islam,” adding that the attacks in Benghazi and Cairo demonstrate that Muslims “have no tolerance.”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement released hours after the attacks that while deploring “any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others,” there is “never any justification for violent acts of this kind." Her statement was issued before confirmation of the ambassador’s death.

Libyan officials seemed embarrassed that they had been unable to hold back militants from storming and wrecking the U.S. consulate in Benghazi—in contrast to the Egyptian security forces, who were able to prevent the U.S. embassy buildings in Cairo from being penetrated. But they say that in Cairo the protesters did not come heavily armed and ready for a battle. “The Libyan security forces came under heavy fire, and we were not prepared for the intensity of the attack," Libyan security spokesman Hurr said.

Wanees Sharef, a Libyan government minister, said the militants in Benghazi arrived with the clear intention of causing the maximum amount of damage and that a government brigade that battled with them had no choice but to withdraw and allow them to take over the building.

Libya's interim government has struggled to impose its authority on the country since the ouster last year of Col. Gaddafi. There are estimated to be about 200,000 militia fighters in the country, and militias remain a law unto themselves. Benghazi has been the scene of other attacks this year on Western targets, including an attempt to assassinate the British ambassador. The International Red Cross building came under a grenade attack, and earlier in the summer a small handmade bomb was hurled at the U.S. consulate.

Ultraconservative Muslims in recent weeks have unleashed a wave of sectarian violence across Libya, involving bombings and the destruction of historic mosques and shrines revered by Sufi Muslims, saying they aim to rid the country of all Sufi landmarks. They’ve also started to turn their attention to women, posting flyers at universities and private schools insisting male and female students are segregated. While Salafists, followers of the Saudi-inspired ultratraditionalist approach to Islam, were not key in the ousting of Gaddafi, they have grown in strength and audacity in recent months, as in other parts of North Africa, recruiting from revolutionary militias and among the young who increasingly feel the Arab Spring has failed to deliver.

Portrait Photography

Portrait photography is one of my favorite types of photography; I think its because I have always loved studying artist pantings and how some of these incredible artists captured the light but mainly (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood) captured the person, their inner soul in oil.

I remember a few years ago, we went on a holiday to Crete and my wife had her portrait sketched by a young guy and it was incredible how he captured my wife's personality perfectly, the detail was perfect, he caught on canvas the smile and look that I knew so well and only someone truly skilled could see.

Photography is all about seeing the person as they truly are, it involves not just looking but really seeing that person through the lens of the camera.

To be a real artist with the camera, you have to study the person in an instant and help the camera create the image that you see in front of your eyes, it quite often requires you moving to maybe a different side of the shot or helping the subject look in another direction.

Many people say they hate having their photograph taken because they feel they never look good in photographs, (I must admit I'm the same) but this is due to people not capturing the personality of that individual and not studying the person before firing the shutter.

I recently took some photographs of this beautiful Bride (Jessica) and I found it incredible how she would look so different depending on where I stood to take the photo (Images shown here) this is so true when taking portrait photos or wedding photographs.

So many of my Brides say how they have never had such amazing photos taken of them, one such Bride said “I cant believe its me, I look lovely” this is down to composure, looking for the light and being a part of the photograph before you fire the shutter.

So learn to look and not just see and you will find that you too can capture the real person in the portrait.

    Eggplant is a member of the nightshade family and supposedly toxic to goats. I am not sure I would feed it if they were not already used to eating such plants. You could plant the seeds and compost the rest.

Chris Brown-Frank Ocean Brawl: History of Animosity to Blame?

by at . Comments

Was the Chris Brown-Frank Ocean fight really just over a parking spot? Or did a shared history of animosity between the musicians and their camps trigger it?

If you missed it, Chris was listening to artist he represents at an LA-area studio last night; when he went to leave, Ocean and his people blocked him in.

Chris Grins
Frank Ocean Image

Chris reportedly went to shake hands with Frank, only to be attacked by one of Ocean's entourage members, and things went downhill from there.

Soon enough, a brawl involving six people broke out; Ocean told cops (and Tweeted) the fight started over a parking space, and that Brown punched him.

"Of course, we are going to investigate," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said, noting that it may lead nowhere.

"It is our understanding that it does not rise to the level of an alleged assault. As a matter of fact, it could be a minor scuffle over a parking spot."

Brown was named as the suspect in the battery report, and the victim wanted to prosecute, which seems crazy for such a random, minor altercation.

Te two performers have a history of warring with words, however.

In June 2011, Chris got into it with Odd Future star Tyler the Creator, Tweeting criticism of him (presumably), e.g. “All this demonic music is wack as s**t."

Tyler's reply? “Why Is Chris BrownTalking So Much Shit? Weird.”

Chris' reply: “Never mentioned @fucktyler or any of them N*****! General statement and your hype man hodgy caught feelings! #n*****sthatfeelguilty.”

That's when Tyler's Odd Future bandmate Frank Ocean got into the beef after Breezy compared him to songwriters James Fauntleroy and Kevin Cossom.

“I f*** wit Frank Ocean! Reminds me of a young James Fauntleroy or Kevin Cossum,” Chris Brown tweeted, drawing Frank's ire ... and a harsh reply.

Frank Ocean replied: “i f***s wit chris brown, reminds me of a young sisqo or ike turner. i just dont like underhanded comments. thats all im saying.”

And on the feud went with the pair trading insults. Fast forward to 2012, when Chris was asked by a reporter about Frank Ocean coming out as bisexual.

“No homo,” Chris replied, which caused many to believe he was being homophobic. He's made gay slurs in the past, but denied he was in this case.

“My Opinion on the whole Frank Ocean subject is ......... Love who u wanna love. It's ur decision. People stop searching for BS,” Chris tweeted later.

Nothing along the lines of the Rick Ross shooting here, but probably enough bad blood/resentment to turn an otherwise innocuous situation ugly fast.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you!

    It is exciting to be at the forefront of an emerging and growth marketing channel. There are so many questions abut where SMM will end up, how will it be valued in the overall online marketing mix, what will its place be in the full marketing mix. Consolidation, platform, measurement, titles/professional development path – so many questions and it is exciting to be a part of defining the answers.

    I think the standouts above are the differences between product & technology vs. talent / creative acquisitions.

    It’s one thing investing in IP to build a platform, and entirely another to offer ‘full service’ inclusive of the ideation and execution of Social Media campaigns.

    If you really want a little gleam to set off the room, consider using satin finish paint for the trim.
    Flat paint is the best choice for hiding rough spots and surface imperfections,
    which makes it perfect for ceilings and walls.

    your deck could be cracking or rotting resulting in the potential for a serious injury and subsequently a lawsuit.

Police issue warning after spate of burglaries in Chesterfield

Share this article
Have your say

Police are urging residents to make sure their homes are secure whenever they are out, asleep or in the garden after burglaries in Chesterfield.

The most recent happened in Somercotes sometime between 7am and 5.30pm on Tuesday, June 3.

Two iPads were stolen from a house on Welbeck Close, and it is believed the offenders may have got in through an insecure window.

In Chesterfield, a set of keys were taken from a house on Holland Road, Old Whittington, sometime between 1pm and 6pm on Friday, May 23. It is thought the offenders entered through an unlocked door.

Community Safety Inspector Russell Dakin said: “We tend to see more of this type of incident, where thieves take advantage of insecure windows and doors, especially as the weather starts to improve.

“These sorts of burglaries can be prevented by taking common sense measures such as locking doors and closing ground floor windows when going to bed, going into the garden or even when just leaving the room.”

Jerome rues gearbox issue

Share this article
Have your say

A DEJECTED Jérôme D’Ambrosio was left cursing the gearbox failure which forced him to retire after just one lap of the final European race of the 2011 season.

The Marussia Virgin Racing driver, in his debut year in Formula One, suffered the problem in the formation lap at the Italian Grand Prix.

D’ Ambrosio, who qualified in 22nd position on the grid on Saturday, said: “A really disappointing end to the weekend. I was really looking forward to the race and then during the formation lap I realised that I had no second gear. I started the race but the car was undriveable, so I had to come back into the garage and retire.

“It’s a real shame because today’s race looked like a close one but we just have to move on and get ready for the next race, as the initial signs from the upgrade have been positive.”

John Booth, team principal of the Dinnington-based outfit, said Virgin will hold an inquest back at their technical base over the next couple of days to try and find a solution to D’Ambrosio’s gearbox problem.

Meanwhile, his team-mate Timo Glock brought the car home in 15th place. The German racer avoided the multi-car incident in turn one and drove a steady race.

“Timo had an absolutely outstanding start and picked his way through the chaos in the first corner to end the lap in 14th position,” said Booth. “From this point on, unfortunately we didn’t quite have the pace to stay with Heikki (Kovalainen), however Jarno Trulli’s early stop meant that at least we were racing him.

“We perhaps could have pitted a little bit earlier on the first stop, but overall we didn’t quite have the pace to stay in front. Nonetheless, the very fact that we are back racing with Team Lotus shows the improvement we have made for this weekend.”

Sebastian Vettel stormed to a pole to flag victory to take an iron-like grip on the title race. The reigning world champion sealed his eighth victory in 13 outings and finished almost 10 seconds ahead of runner-up Jenson Button. Fernando Alonso also finished on the podium while Button’s McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton came fourth.

Jet terror, but Colin calms his kids

HOLLYWOOD star Colin Firth was among stunned air passengers yesterday as armed
cops raided a flight into London.

The Brit, 51, was jetting back from the Oscars in LA with his wife and young
sons when two people attacked each other at 30,000ft over an alleged theft.

Cabin crew on the British Airways jet could not contain the fracas and radioed
for an armed police response unit.

But Firth stayed ice cool and calmed his two sons Luca, ten, and
eight-year-old Matteo and his wife Livia, 42.

Jodie Kidd

A BA source said: “Passengers were in meltdown when it spiralled out of
control. It was scary for flyers who feared for the safety of the flight.

“Colin Firth showed his usual cool and was more concerned at the
well-being of his wife and kids.

“It was far more dramatic than anything at the Oscars.”

Cabin crew tried to break up the row before calling cops at Heathrow for an
armed response unit to board the flight on arrival.

Passengers, including model Jodie Kidd, 31, were then kept in their seats as
officers with guns stormed the plane after it landed.

Cops last night said no arrests had been made, but inquiries were ongoing.

Victory for Common Core Opponents in Missouri Appellate Court

In a big victory for opponents of Common Core, the Missouri court of appeals dismissed the State’s appeal, leaving in place a lower court decision that blocked Missouri’s membership in the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (“SBAC”).  The ruling, issued on November 17th, dismissed as moot an appeal by Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, and thereby upheld the lower court’s decision that Missouri’s participation in SBAC was a violation of the Compact Clause of the U.S. Constitution and numerous federal and state statutes.

Victory for Common Core Opponents in Missouri Appellate Court

The Compact Clause challenge to SBAC was first conceived and implemented by Missouri attorney, D. John Sauer, of the James Otis Law Group, based in St. Louis, who brought the action on behalf of state taxpayers.   The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, MI, filed a friend of the court brief supporting the lower court decision in that case.

Since then, the Thomas More Law Center and the James Otis Law Group have joined forces to bring similar challenges to the constitutionality of the Common Core testing consortia in several other states, including North Dakota, South Dakota and West Virginia. Erin Mersino, TMLC senior trial counsel, has worked alongside Sauer in developing the three additional lawsuits.

Richard Thompson, President of the Thomas More Law Center, commenting on the collaboration between the two firms.  “John Sauer is an extraordinary attorney.  We are privileged to work alongside John.  In this truly cooperative effort, several other attorneys have donated their time as local co-counsel: Arnold Fleck, of Bismarck, ND, Jeffrey Kimble and Ryan Kennedy of Robinson & McElwee, PLLC, in Charleston, WV, and Robert J. Rohl of Johnson Eiesland Law Offices, PC, in Rapid City, SD.”

John Sauer obtained his law degree from Harvard Law School where he graduated magna cum laude. He clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia before becoming an assistant U.S. attorney. He eventually entered into private practice and recently founded the James Otis Law Group. Prior to his law degree, Sauer attended Duke University before attending Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. He subsequently received his Masters from the University of Notre Dame.

Thompson, commenting on the appeals court ruling, said “The effect of the court of appeals ruling is to leave in place the first and only state court ruling that tears down the Common Core edifice constructed by the federal government.”

Shortly after the lower court decision holding SBAC unconstitutional, the Missouri General Assembly passed House Bill 2, later signed by Governor Nixon, which expressly prohibits the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) from using funds to pay SBAC license fees or membership dues. An opinion from DESE General Counsel stated that the language contained in H.B. 2 specifically prohibited the state from participating as a member or as a licensee of SBAC and recommended that Missouri’s membership in SBAC be terminated immediately.

As a part of its continuing efforts to help parents combat Common Core, the Thomas More Law Center developed a Test Refusal and Student Privacy Protection Form and a Common Core Resource Page as a general reference and guide.

Almond 'Nutella' Tart
Lettuce Soup. Perfect for using up that half bag of salad leaves

I tried this Lentil & Nut Loaf tonight. What a little gem! Cheap, super nourishing and needing no super cookery whizzery skills to make. I found it on Pat Parkers Facebook group, posted by Emily Brown. Thanks for a great recipe.

Lentil & Nut Loaf

Priced at Asda January 2018 using mySupermarket
100g red lentils, 500g/75p, 15p
600 ml water
Stock cube, pack of 10, 4p
A carrot, about 120g, 50p/kg, 6p
A large onion, 200g, 3 for 57p, 6p
80g crunchy peanut butter, 65p/340g, 15p
85g stuffing mix, 19p

Serves at least 4
Total cost £1.09, 27p each (4)
Total nutrition 893 calories, 79g carbs, 43g fat, 35g protein
Each serving (4) 223 calories, 20g carbs, 11g fat, 9g protein

Put the lentils, stock cube and water in a saucepan and simmer the lentils for about 12 minutes. DO NOT DRAIN. Add the peanut butter and stuffing and mix it all very well.

Lentil and nut loaf mix

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and carrot and fry them gently until very soft.

Onion and carrots cooking

Now combine the cooked vegetables with the cooked lentils and add half a teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Check the seasoning, but it should be alright.

Uncooked mixture

Pile it all into a loaf tin and bake at 180c for a good half an hour. Enjoy hot or cold, either is good. We had ours with sweet potato chips and coleslaw.

Cooked mixture

I loved this. It’s simple, delicious and versatile. Vegan too if that interests you

The obvious things to flex are the vegetables. Add more of them; roast a general mix of root vegetables before mixing them in; use fennel and celery: swede and parsnip: make it all mushroom, ordinary or a mixture. Or shred some greens – kale, savoy, Brussels or spring greens: use spring onions from the garden; beetroot and fennel. Whatever you fancy using or have in.

Stuffing mix is just seasoned dried breadcrumbs with some herbs, so easy to swap for breadcrumbs and use some herbs, or not. You could use gluten free bread if you need to avoid gluten.

Swap the red lentils for brown, green or puy lentils, or chick peas, mash them a little if you like. Add some oats, or other cereals, in place of some of the stuffing.

For the stock cube, swap it out for home made chicken or vegetable stock, swap it for Marmite, miso, Bovril or an Oxo cube. Or just use the salt and pepper.

Add some sweet chilli sauce, chilli jam or straight chilli. Use curry powder, pastes or individual spices.

Make a spicy tomato sauce to pour over. Or serve with bottled tomato or brown sauce. Use any chutney on the side. Mix brinjal pickle with mayonnaise or yogurt and serve with a blob on the nut loaf. Lovely stuff!

I haven’t tried  this myself, but the cold loaf is lovely used as a paté with or without cream cheese (not vegan then, obviously)
