How Does The Entrepreneurial World of Seal Team 1‘s, Stack Up To The United States Navy’s, Seal Team 1

Seal Team 1, Wow! the best of the best. For many people in America and around the world this is the flash that produces the thoughts and pictures in the minds of all of us as those words are spoken, and rightly so. They are the best, at what they choose to do. A team of men and women so finely tuned that a comparison can only produce one and only one thought and that is of the finest of Swiss Time Pieces. So finely created that its workings are without question as to pre session and accrues. Seal Teams train and execute missions much like this watch. Never missing a beat. A question arises however, Seal Team member, outside of his or her team, what do they aspires to? As an individual they are successful men and women that have acquired skills. Ask yourself this question. What is the difference between Ability and Skill? Ability is what we are born with and is given to us by God. Skill is what we have acquired through training and experience. What is experience? Trial and error...mostly error, bad chooses we hopefully learn from. There has never been nor will there ever be a Seal Team member or Team born with “ability only” that can do what Seal Team 1 has accomplished. Be dropped into Pakistan and take out Osama Bin Ladin. Individual Seal Team member training, and teamwork, are only but two of a three part quest for the making of a Seal Team 1 capable unit. The third part, is experience, and that is a killer. The Seals, of Seal Team 1 have had to do a mission or missions like this before to acquire the experience to qualify for the first team. If you were a member of any of the other teams and failed, there is a good chance you’re dead. If you’re in Entrepreneurial World you’re probably broke, out of business and would like to be dead. Okay, you have passed the test and by trail and error you have been found worthy of your new position. SEAL Team 1... STOP! I forgot to tell you one more thing you have to know.

Do you remember that Swiss Time Piece we where talking about? The one that can run one hundred years without missing a beat. Why do you think it can do that? I will tell you why. Because it knows it’s a Swiss Time Piece and it has Purpose, Integrity and Honor, made by a team of people with the same values. I see it this way. While the sum of the parts are enclosed in that solid gold watch case it will do its job and never let its team members that are also enclosed in that solid gold case down. For many of us that solid gold case may be an office or a basket ball court or a football field. For a Seal Team 1 member it’s the world stage. We can never forget the reasons we do the things we do. That’s what gets us home at the end of the day. When you walk through that door and hold the people you love in your arms, does it really matter how you got there? Or just that you’re there. At night, lie that solid gold watch on your night stands, and get into bed. Slide up to your world and hold them in your arm as you smile knowing the world your world is safer and better then it was yesterday.

No Death Sentence/Life W/O Parole on circumstantial evidence

Please
Sign Our Petition
http://tiny.cc/wf0oj

Case in point, Casey Anthony, you do not try to give a person a death sentence, or life in prison “Without Parole” only on circumstantial evidence. Justification for this kind of sentencing can only be made with hard factual evidence. Governor, Senators and Speaker, every day we read in the newspapers someone is getting out of prison because of new DNA evidence being found, or a new DNA test has been invented. Well, where is the balance for people who have been convicted on circumstantial evidence? When no physical evidence exist in a case it becomes impossible to prove your innocence. Today, it would seem one rule covers all events that fall into a specific category...such as crimes that fall under "capital felony". It needs to be changed by people who refuse to give the rule of law to another RULE... instead of giving it to a thinking person. Legislation I would like you to consider. I would ask that legislation be crafted that would not allow a person convicted on circumstantial evidence to receive a life term without parole. Please make this retroactive for all persons now being held in Florida jails. Have all persons that fall into this category go in front of a parole board for a review. If they have served an amount of time the board feels is just, and they have not been getting in any trouble while incarcerated, what would be the harm in giving them their life back? It would also save Florida some money and relieve the overcrowding in our prisons. Ron Tramontano

Is actress Angelina Jolie a martial arts aficionado?

Is actress Angelina Jolie a martial arts aficionado? Not sure. But she sure did have something quite smart to say recently about the martial arts and how they can help normally aggressive boys. "A lot of people who study martial arts know that if you have children who have any kind of aggression one of the best things to do is certainly not to ignore it, but to actually put that child into a martial arts class so they understand their own body, to learn discipline., to learn their own strength and then to harness it," Jolie told EW. "My boys wrestle all the time," she adds. "They're two boys, but they've been in martial arts classes for a while together and now they bow to each other, they know when to hit the mat [i.e. when they want to quit], they know when to stop wrestling. They have respect. But they're boys -- without that they're going to want to wrestle, to try things and test themselves. It's a primal thing. But to keep it in an organized way where it shows respect and discipline is fantastic." Get Your Child Started ...

Fairness/Mercy

You should realize that there is a great reward of personal satisfaction in being first just, next fair, then patient, then kind. And then, on that foundation, if you choose and have it in your heart, you can take the next step and really show mercy; but you cannot exhibit mercy in and of itself. These steps must be traversed; otherwise there can be no genuine mercy. There may be patronage, condescension, or charity--even pity--but not mercy. True mercy comes only as the beautiful climax to these preceding adjuncts to group understanding, mutual appreciation, fraternal fellowship, spiritual communion, and divine harmony.

Mr. April: Contest Judge of the Month!

Mr. April: Contest Judge of the Month!

Welcome to this month's expose bringing you the inside story on Judges and Readers of the Top Screenwriting Contests in the country. Everything you ever wanted to know about these mysterious creatures but had no way to ask.

These bunnies are willing to bare it all for me, a fellow judge, working producer, screenwriting teacher, friend and colleague, so I can bring you the scintillating scoop on who is reading your contest script and what they really, really want. Use this unique peek into their minds so your next contest encounter will turn these Juicy Judges to putty in your hands.

Then turn the tables! It's your chance to vote for your favorite PlayJudge of the Year. Each writer who nominates the winning PJOY, receives a 10% discount on the BIG IDEAS Screenwriting Seminar, held around the country. You'll learn to create your most successful script before you ever type "Fade In." One weekend takes you from "What to Write?" to "Ready to Write!" and gives you the tools to complete your script faster than you dreamed possible.

And now, Mr. April, a manly manager, with a surprisingly softer side, exposed in this revealing centerfold.

Mr. April's Vital Statistics
I have been a judge in a handful of competitions over the last five years including Scriptapalooza. I don't want to do too many of them, but I like to read fresh voices.

His Reel Life
I am a manager who started my own company. We represent writers and actors predominantly and looking to work with more directors. I pride my self and the company on development of writers as well as creating goals, strategies, and interesting projects for the marketplace in film or television.

Mr. April's Turn Ons
I am always first and foremost interested in the characters on the page. Right now, horrors thrillers, and action films are getting made easier, but I do have a soft spot for Romantic Comedies.

Mr. April's Turn Offs
It is always disappointing to start a script that does not grab you from the first few pages. Screenwriting is a tough medium, but at the core has to be a compelling story that forces me to turn the page. Also, it is tough for me to read a piece by a writer who doesn't go to the movies and understand what types of films are getting made right now. Being educated in film is a prerequisite to being a writer in the field.

His Favorite Position&to Read In
I don't get to do this much except on the weekend, but reading on my laptop outside at my local coffee shop. Nothing beats that.

The Dirty Little Secret Mr. April wants to Share
Great writing is one thing and almost the most important facet of a screenplay, but a close second is a logline and a hook. Films are getting harder and harder to make, so you better be able to tell someone quickly what to expect before they read it. If not, they might never get to it. Have passion for your project, but be practical. Also, know that every word you write is not magic or in stone because screenwriting is a team sport. Many people are involved in getting a film made, and everyone wants to have input, so let's face it, we need all the allies we can get. Good luck out there.

Barri Evins is a successful film producer and a sought after screenwriting teacher. As a producer, she has sold pitches and spec scripts to Warner Brothers, Universal, Disney, Fox, Nickelodeon, New Line and HBO. Her innovative screenwriting seminars teach the same techniques she uses with Academy Award nominated pros to help budding writers get further faster. Her weekend intensive, BIG IDEA TO BEAT OUTLINE, is offered around the country. Students of Barri's approach have won contests, gotten representation, optioned books and sold a pitch in just four hours for six figures. A BIG IDEAS book is in the works.
