California loses millions of dollars in tax revenue
when filmmakers leave the state, according to a study
released on Monday that bolsters the case for a tax
credit favored by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In recent years, film and TV shows have increasingly
headed from California to other states and Canada
where tax incentives make production less expensive
than in Hollywood.
In Louisiana, for example, production expenditures
rose from $12 million in 2002 to $330 million in 2004
after the state adopted incentives.
We need that money here! I'm thinking of getting with
Mayor Alan Autry of Fresno with some ideas I have to
see if we can bring more money here with
more film productions.
We can make Fresno look like almost any part of the
World. We can make Hanford, Visalia, Tulare look and
smell like any stinky place in the World.
Were there vampires in the Old West? Was the frontier
tamed by silver bullets?
It's 1876. You're Jericho Cross, a train robber. You
open a vault that you believe to contain vast riches.
It actually contains the spirit of one of the most
evil vampires to ever exist. He bites you, and now
you've got to find and kill him before the curse
completely takes hold.
Even though Jericho is still human, he can tap into a
few different vampire powers. These are meant to
differentiate Darkwatch's gameplay from the rest of
the pack, which is why it's a little disappointing
that they're so by-the-numbers. The "blood frenzy"
power adds a bit of extra damage to your attack.
"Fear" makes certain enemies run away from you.
You upgrade these powers by choosing whether to help
or hurt people in danger. At certain times during the
mission, you'll be able to use your vampiric powers
for good or evil -- remove the poison from bitten
humans, or feast on their remains yourself.
The choices you make determine which abilities you
improve: your "evil" powers or your "good" ones. You
can upgrade both concurrently -- and you'll have to if
you want the full range of Jericho's powers.
Dear Jerry,
I tried calling you the other day when that listener
was telling you about the Watts Valley Wolf Ape, but I
got cut off.
It's real, rare but real.
The Older Indians and historians know about it and
some local farmers have seen it. You are right, it's
not really a wolf as we today know them. Their legs
are more like human and monkey, than canine.
You have to understand that this area is unique, the
first humans to enter North America crossed the Bering
Strait land bridge at the end of the Pleistocene
Period, or the last Ice Age, approximately 15,000 to
30,000 years ago.
They migrated southward from Alaska and populated this
area and some continued on south. They entered
California approximately 15,000 years ago; evidence
from the early-man archaeological is all around here
if one looks and the evidence could push the date back
to 50,000 years ago.
The characteristics of California Indians prior to
European contact have drawings and tales of unusual
creatures that traveled with them. Some of these now
exctinced creatures bread with other local animals
creating hybrids.
There's a great story about Ansel Adams, the old
photographer that took pictures of Yosimite and a run
in he had with a pack of wolf apes while he was in a
tent back in the 30's.
About 15 years ago there was a Watts Valley Wolf Ape
seen drinking water on Bass Lake and people started
thinking it was a very hairy man who walked on all
fours.
The local Indians do say if you see one, riches will
come to you, but then they also run the Casinos, but
also these animals were seen just before the Gold Rush
here in California. So maybe you can get rich seeing
one.
Thanks, Taylor
