We have the necessary funding for the script and we looking for top quality script writing and talent . Thank you very much. Conscience Circle Productions sample page " Jack offered me a butt. I took a Winston out of his pack as he shook one up into grabbing position with an expert smoker’s flip of the wrist. He took the next one in line hands free, directly between his lips, lit his first, and then lit mine with his flame-throwing blowtorch of a Zippo. We both inhaled and blew smoke across the coin-scratched bar. “I was in a fighting hole (called a fox hole by the army and Hollywood, a fighting hole is an entrenched position for one or more Marines in a static warfare position) on Saipan at night, me and two other Marines. Three of us had point (lead Marine in a patrol or lead element in a company) in one hole. It was the most dangerous spot. It was dark, and we knew the Japs were just fifty yards or so outside our wire (the perimeter of a position, so named because most perimeters were marked with barbed wire in World War II). When the cloud cover passed in front the moon, they attacked. It was the scariest fucking thing you could imagine. They came over this hill and right over the wire. We shot the first ones in the head as they tried to cut the wires. The other Japs just used the dead bodies that fell on the barbed wire to jump across the perimeter. The bodies on the wires kept piling up so high, maybe ten deep, that the Japs attacking us had to climb up and over the top of them to try and get to our hole. We killed them as fast as they came over the top. All the while, they were screaming and blowing whistles, horns and shit, and firing at us and throwing grenades. Flares were going up all around, turning the night into phosphorous day. Mortar rounds (simple steel tubes on base plates; mortars lobbed their shells in high arcs so that the shells came down on the target even if it was behind a hill or in trees) were exploding all around our position, showering us with red-hot shrapnel. It seemed like they would never stop attacking and that they had an endless supply of men to send across our wire, over their own soldiers’ bodies and straight into our field of fire. This went on all fucking night.” Jack drew down hard on his butt, taking in a chestful of strong smoke. “I said my prayers that night, Michael. I thought for certain that I was gonna buy the farm (get killed) at twenty years old on some godforsaken island that night. Un-fucking-believable (Marine expletive).” The smoke billowed out of his mouth as he spoke of death. Now I understood why Jack had had to leave the office and go somewhere quiet, cool, and simple and drink a beer. The war had come back to him. Maybe Vijay, with his foreign accent and darker skin, reminded former Marine master sergeant Jack Cotton of the Japs, or maybe Jack, in spite of all his toughness, occasionally had a low tolerance for his own PD’s high pucker factor after all those years of combat in the Pacific. Maybe he was ashamed of his temporary weakness and didn’t want the grunts in the office to see him like this any more than they already had. I couldn’t judge Jack; nobody had ever tried to kill me night after night for five years running. “I was twenty, Michael, just two years older than you are now. You should thank God that you don’t have to see the things I saw and did and felt. I shouldn’t be alive, I should be dead. Most of my buddies were killed.” “Jack, were you in a lot of battles?” Bad question! Jack shot me a stern look reminding me that I was still one dumb rock (idiot, as in “That rock is really stupid”). “Sure as shit I was,” Jack growled. “What the hell do you think? You made it off of one island and they gave you a medal and sent you home to Mama? Fuck that! I went island to island, beach to beach, one stinking jungle to the next the stinking jungle. The only way home was dead. Even if you got shot but could still walk and hold a rifle, they’d patch you up and send you back. There was none of this thirteen months and rotate back to the world (leave the war zone and be returned to the United States) deal like they had in Vietnam. We were in for the duration, five years for me. Five fucking years in hell. I was one tough Marine, though, I’ll tell you that—one tough fucking Marine. We all were. We had to be because those Japs were tough bastards too. That, I give them credit for. Tough fucking little bastards.” ]]>

<![CDATA[ The Chef's Tango Magazine Writers Needed The Chef's Tango Magazine will be a new-on line magazine which is part of The Chef's Tango group of events beginning May 15th at the MGM Grand Hotel at Foxwood's Resort and Casino in Connecticut. Please visit our website, Thechefstango.com. The event itself is composed of a culinary competition, a gourmet trade show, a sensational dinner, a dessert spectacular and a black-tie ball. The event price is $150.00 per person. The VIP admission is $250.00. The Chef's Tango will have a retail arm, conduct affiliate marketing and several other elements, including an on-line magazine, that will continue throughout the year. The Tango will be held annually in Connecticut and will open in three other American cities in 2010-2011 with the expectation that those additional sites will be annual as well. Other cities will be added in subsequent years. The Chef's Tango Magazine needs writers who will submit original articles of around 600 words accompanied by original photos/drawings/videos (with appropriate waivers, where necessary) on a quarterly basis at first and, subsequently, on a monthly basis. This is a full-color, upscale magazine directed to an upscale reader. Writers will be given space for a brief biography including contact information. We hope that most writers will be professionally engaged in the activities they write about. The reader demographic we seek lies at the intersection between the serious food preparer (chefs, merchants, manufacturers) and the serious food consumer. They both expect in writing what they expect in food: creativity, taste and presentation. They expect to be approached intelligently. We need experienced writers; for instance, a professional bar tender who caters to an affluent clientèle, knows cutting-edge drinks, can write about them effectively and seeks broad personal exposure. Please send a resume and an article on your subject ready for publication. Any images/photos must be in the public domain or accompanied by a waiver permitting unrestricted use. If The Chef's Tango prints your article, we will send you $100. The magazine will appear on the website.

<![CDATA[Executive Assistant - $35,000 plus full employer paid benefits THE KIND OF PERSON WE SEEK: Attitude and aptitude trump training or experience. We do not need you to have prior experience in any particular area, or any particular college degree (or even a degree at all). But we want to know you’ve spent time working hard and learning well. You can be a recent graduate with little work experience, as long as you were not lazy when you were in school. You must be: • Very good at reading, writing, and editing English. • A clear thinker and problem solver. • Broadly educated – liberal arts degree is a plus. • Organized – you will be in charge of keeping things from falling through the cracks. • Comfortable around both people and computers. • Eager to learn – We don’t expect you to already know how to do what needs to be done. We expect you to be able to figure things out, and ask for help when you can’t. • Helpful by nature. • Idealistic. Cynicism is not a virtue in our environment. THE NATURE OF THE WORK: The work is varied. Some tasks are routine. For example, the job starts at 8:00 AM because there are some things that must be done every day between 8 and 9 in the morning, and other tasks begin at 4:00 PM and can usually be completed by 4:30, but might run longer if there are problems. The rest of the work will be project based. You might: organize a conference, maintain a mailing list, collect data, build a website, promote its visibility, write articles submitted by others, research and write reports, and so on. Who knows what will come down the pike? Familiarity with the following will help: WordPress/Blogging, HTML (CSS), MS Office (Excel, Word, Powerpoint), Search Engine Optimization, SQL, and Photoshop. Expertise in everything is unexpected, but a willingness to learn is essential. Take a look at: <a href="http://www.NoShortageOfWork.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.NoShortageOfWork.com</a> This is one of our non-commercial ventures. We will want you to help edit, contribute, maintain the site, and manage some of its events and spin-off projects. Here is an example of a project: Five minutes of audio excerpted from a radio interview needs to be combined with a PowerPoint slide show and converted into a YouTube video. We don’t need you to know how to do this before the project comes along, but you are the kind of person we seek if you say, “This is a juicy project,” do a Google search on how to do this, then roll up your sleeves, and by the end of the week you’re proudly showing off your first cut. If you are the kind of person who wants to put this project out for bids, then this isn’t for you. THE PERSON YOU WOULD WORK FOR: You will work as an assistant to Brooke Allen. He has a background in mathematics, finance, and trading and he runs a proprietary trading desk at the U. S. subsidiary of a Canadian Financial Services firm.
