Kurt Russell Talks Future Projects, Resuming Filming on FAST & FURIOUS 7 in April, Mourning Paul Walker, and More
by Christina Radish February 14, 2014
Currently available on VOD and in theaters on March 14th, The Art of the Steal tells the story of Crunch Calhoun (Kurt Russell) a motorcycle daredevil and art thief who agrees to pull off one final lucrative art theft with his untrustworthy brother, Nicky (Matt Dillon), which will, of course, lead to nothing but trouble for everyone involved.
Collider was invited to sit down with actor Kurt Russell to talk to him about that film and, during the interview (that we will run more of closer to the film's theatrical release), conversation turned to what he'll be doing next, the passion he has for making wine, and when he expects to return to finish his work on Fast & Furious 7. He talked about how he's got both a heavy film with director Mark Pellington, called Clang, and the Western Bone Tomahawk, that he's hoping to get into production, how making wine is very similar to making a movie, and that he thinks filming for Fast & Furious 7 will resume in April, even though he does not yet know how they'll be handling the loss of Paul Walker. Check out what he had to say after the jump.
Do you know what you'll be doing next?
KURT RUSSELL: Yeah, I actually have a couple of things. There's this thing called Clang, that's a real heavy lifter. It's a Mark Pellington project that is interesting. This will be one that, as an actor, you shut the door, turn the phone off, hunker down and go to work. Also, I have another picture called Bone Tomahawk, which is a Western that I've been circling around for a long time. I hope that will get done. And then, there's another picture called Race to Nome, which I think they may shoot part of this spring, and then next fall. But, I'm spending a great deal of time right now with wine. I love making wine.
What type of wine are you making?
RUSSELL: Gogi wine is the wine that I make. It's a high-end Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. We're just opening [on Valentine's day] at the 1880 Union Hotel in Los Alamos. I've been spending a lot of time there, getting the room ready. I've gotta say that I'm at a point in my life where that's a lot of fun. It's really, really fun. I love being at the vineyard. I love learning about making wine. I love making really good wine. I love drinking it. I love people's response to it. It's so much like making a movie, only you're doing everything. Valentine's Day is my 31st anniversary with Goldie [Hawn], so we're mixing it. We're going to open this place up, and my daughter's wines are going to be there. Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy have Hudson Bellamy wine, which is going to be there, as well. It's a very good Rosé.
So, we're doing a wine-tasting format at this super cool Wells Fargo Stagecoach stop that's a 14-room hotel with a saloon that was built in 1880. We're just turning it into a wine saloon, which is fun. I've gotta say, it's touch to get out of that world. It's fun and it's endlessly fascinating. It is a lot like making a movie. There is no part of it that's formulaic. It doesn't work that way. Every year, it's different. I'm just having a great time with that. I still love making movies. I do, and I always have. There's lots of stuff that I'm looking at, right now, and have been. I read stuff and go through stuff. When they come along and I like them, then it's time to go to work like that.
Do you still have to go back and finish your work on Fast & Furious 7, when they figure out what they're going to do with that?
RUSSELL: Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen there, but I do have more work to do on that. I think that's going to take place in April, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know what they're going to do. I haven't spoken to them. I saw Vin [Diesel] at the memorial for Paul [Walker]. He was just a wonderful guy. He was the kind of guy that what you saw was what you got. He was a really good guy. The thing that was rough there was that we had some good conversations, but I sensed from them that this was a guy who enjoyed many things in his life and was very appreciative, but was also getting to a point where he wanted to begin to seriously, in an artistic sense, explore what would excited him and find out where he might go. He was literally just turning that page and just saying that he wanted to peak onto the other side, and then he was out.
It certainly makes you re-evaluate what's important in life.
RUSSELL: All you can do is try to continue to enjoy life, on a day-to-day basis, knowing that it can be over quickly. And what you do in it, you have to weigh. But when you're a person who enjoys things that can be inherently risky, even though, most of the time, they're very well controlled, there will be moments of potential disaster. They're going to be out there. Hopefully, you escape them. He didn't escape that one. That's just the way it goes. So, I don't know what they're going to do, or how they're going to deal with it. I get the feeling that some time in April is when I'm going to go to work.
At least everybody involved seems to care and is taking time to figure out the best way to handle it.
RUSSELL: Oh, very much so. I don't think I've ever met anybody who didn't like Paul. I haven't heard of a person who didn't. I don't know who that would be. If you didn't, I would wonder about that person. It's just a rough thing, especially for his daughter.

Afghan, Coalition Forces disrupt terrorist network in Eastern Afghanistan
Release No: UNRELEASED Feb. 26, 2009
Joint Press Release
Release Number 20092602-01
KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghan National Security forces and Coalition Forces killed one militant and detained 10 suspected militants in operations in Nangarhar and Khowst Provinces Feb. 25.
In Kot District, Nangarhar Province, approximately 30 km southeast of Jalalabad, Afghan special operations forces backed by a small contingent of Coalition Forces, conducted an operation to disrupt a foreign fighter facilitation network and suicide improvised explosive device operation. The individual targeted during this operation was directly involved in the IED attack Feb. 7 that killed the Goshta sub-governor, and was known to have planned several attacks against Afghan and Coalition Forces in Nangarhar Province.
After arriving at the targeted compound, an armed individual maneuvered on the force with hostile intent. The force responded, killing the militant. Three other suspected militants were detained without incident. During this operation, three women and 17 children were protected.
In Mandozi District, Khowst Province, approximately 10 km southwest of Khowst, Coalition Forces and Afghan National Police conducted an operation targeting a Haqqani network operator known to have carried out hostile actions against Coalition Forces in Khowst, including IED strikes and suicide bomber facilitation.
The combined force arrived at the targeted location and searched several buildings on multiple compounds. One armed militant engaged the assault force and suffered a superficial injury from a gunshot wound. Coalition Forces provided medical treatment to the individual and detained him and six other militants. Forces found a pistol, shotgun and an AK-47 assault rifle in one of the buildings. During this operation, 19 women and 28 children were protected.

Ray provides one-on-one sales coaching for salespeople selling all types of products / services and across all industries.
The coaching method is simple and effective. Ray accompanies salespeople on sales calls (Or listens in on sales calls if tele-sales) to evaluate their current sales performance.
Below is an outline of Ray's one-on-one sales coaching process.
This can be done as a stand-alone intervention or as a follow-up to a sales training programme that Ray presents. It can be done immediately after the training or 3 to 6 months down the line and can be customised according to your requirements.
Sales coaching criteria. (General points) This is the criteria Ray uses when going on evaluation meetings with salespeople.
Attitude and non-verbal communication. I.E. Positive, "Sales awake".
Effectiveness when meeting with customers.
Presentation of product / service.
Ask trainee to set up appointments with customers (New and existing) for me to accompany them on.
Accompany trainee on appointments for half day or full day.
Give brief summary to trainee immediately after appointments.
Conduct a brief interview with the trainee covering general information. ("What do you like / don't like about your job?" Etc.) You can add your own questions to this if necessary.
Do detailed summary and evaluation of meetings with customers / clients back at my office.
Request written input from trainee on points that they believe require improvement.
Create a short debriefing report summarising the evaluation and points to be improved.
Conduct follow-up 3 to 6 months later. (Optional) Accompany trainee on appointments to see what changes have been implemented as per their undertaking after the initial coaching and evaluation.
For outlying areas (Durban, Cape Town, etc.) I usually fly in early and then go on appointments in the morning, do a brief summary and interview in the afternoon and then do a full debriefing meeting the following day and then fly out in the afternoon. (This is for one person) If there is more than one person in the area I do appointments in the morning and do a brief summary and interview in the afternoon for one person on one day and then do the same for the other person the following day and then do a full debriefing meeting with each person the following day (Day 3) and then fly out in the afternoon.
The coaching process includes all off site work as well as debriefing with each of the salespeople and debriefing with management and providing a debriefing report.

Oculus Rift - Game Changer Award Winner 2013
By Sherri L. Smith, Editor | November 18, 2013 04:09 am
For the past two decades, the road to virtual reality has been a series of starts and stops littered with the carcasses of clunky, expensive and impractical concepts. Until now. Since its auspicious debut as a Kickstarter campaign in August 2012, the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset has captured the imaginations of game developers and gamers alike.
Designed for immersive gaming, Oculus Rift plunges wearers into a virtual world where they can look in any direction free of a controller. The device employs a 7-inch stereoscopic 3D display split into two screens. Palmer Luckey, Oculus Rift's creator, along with his team, have been making steady improvements to the device ahead of the as-yet-undisclosed launch date in 2014. One such improvement has upgraded the headset panel to 1920 x 1080 from 1280 x 800 for a sharper image.
The Rift isn't the only VR headset on the market. Sony and Vuzix have released their own virtual reality headgear, such as the $999 HMZ-T3W headset and the $599 1200DX-VR. There are also rumors that Sony is working on a VR device to accompany the upcoming PlayStation 4. However, the Rift is selling for a more affordable $300 -- about the price you'd pay for a pair of quality headphones.

Backed by such industry heavy hitters as Valve CEO Gabe Newell and designer Cliff Bleszinksi, Oculus Rift's Kickstarter collected $2.5 million instead of its $250,000 funding goal in less than a month. Oculus VR has also secured $16 million in the first round of investor funding. The company was even able to get John Carmack, renowned game programmer, to join the team as the chief technology officer. Despite the nod from gaming big wigs and investors, Luckey acknowledges that there's still a lot of pressure.
"For the consumer version, we have to get it right -- really, really right. This is the first time in a long time that a lot consumers will be able to try VR. If we don't get it right, then a lot of people are going to lose faith in VR and say this whole comeback was BS all along."
In its quest for perfection, the Oculus VR team has turned its sights toward Android, announcing plans to launch a combination PC and mobile version of the headset. Citing the wide developer adoption rate and the toolset, Luckey has a long-term plan to build Google's operating system directly into the device. While the headset is the primary focus, the company is also looking into developing additional peripherals for an even more immersive experience.
Although the company has clearly been making strides, there are still a few kinks to work out, such as motion tracking. In addition, some people have complained of motion sickness and noticeable blurring when turning too fast while using the Rift.
"We have a few incredibly smart software engineers," Palmer says, "working on prediction models and rotation models and all kind of things that make the tracking better than anything in the industry and we're really proud of that."
While Luckey and crew work on the hardware, game developers have been busy developing and porting games onto the system. And while we've seen some big-name software such as "Doom" and "Mirrors Edge" make the leap, much of Oculus Rift's support comes from independent game makers, because "indies can move much faster and can generally take their title and adapt it to VR rather quickly."
As we move closer to 2014 and a possible launch date, Oculus VR continues to work on the Rift, giving the world tantalizing peeks into the potential future of gaming. Using a formula of technology, accessibility and affordability, Oculus Rift is literally changing the way the game is played.

After having read the Gauguin Connection, it was imperative that I would read the next in the series. Even though I felt that the first book had some flaws that I felt existed, it felt right to read on to find out what happens to Genevieve. The story starts off with her feeling lonely and rather angry at her new friends who had supposedly deserted her. She falls back into her usual routine of work and stops talking to people once again. Everything changes when Francine turns up at her doorstep, hurt and begging for help. Genevieve is once more forced to revisit her outlook on life and people and to once again learn to trust people.
Thus follows a series of events that force Genevieve to work with the very people she had thought had abandoned her. This story though quite good, seems to be a little repetitive and many points that were already introduced about our characters are repeated again. This may deter the reader a little and make them pause for a while. However, as the story progresses, it gets better and if we overlook these small things, the story is rather interesting and well written.
For a book filled with mystery revolving around art, this is well thought out and the clues are wonderful. The connection to Dante and the coded messages are intriguing for both the characters and the reader. This is worth a read for fans of this genre. It may seem slow, but is readable even when reading with pauses.

What a roller coaster of a weekend! Thanks a lot to @SillySausage, @Raigore and @GoDATP for being a pleasure to drive with. I think we made a great crew, and I look forward to more iRacing exploits together in the future! Well done to the other crews who finished, and commiserations to those who had their chances taken away. Also, a quick thanks to those who supported and helped us along the way. Here's some personal highlights from me.
Being cautious (since you know, it being a 24 hour race and all), a gap opened momentarily to my left, and somebody unsuccessfully went for it. A good 40 minutes later, and our car was back on the track. We were very down on pace and none of us wanted to face 24 hours of limping around getting lapped by everybody. So we called it, and all went our own ways.
...Until iRacing announced they would run another race to compensate for their server issues in the other splits. So we got the band back together and gave it another crack. I managed to get pole in our split, and had a good start to lead the first lap. I soon settled into third, making good fuel mileage out the of the battling top 2's draft, until I got spooked by a slow GT3 in the bus stop - the only major mistake our whole crew made all race!
That's also 4 consecutive iRacing enduro starts where I've ended up backwards in the first hour. Oops. We lost a lap from the damage repairs, so we were on the back foot from nearly the start. The next 23 hours were a blur. All of us pounded around without major drama (apart from Silly's network issues late on), making up ground with our remarkably consistent, balanced, and sometimes race leading pace. We gradually found ourselves in a gap battle for P3 with the Yellow SROC Ferrari late in the night, which could continue to slog on for the rest of the race.
Hats off to @Raigore for that final stint, it was truly brilliant stuff. Even though it didn't go our way on the final lap, the grit and balls he showed will surely go down in RSR folklore. The round of applause from teamspeak after we crossed the line from those glued to the streams was well deserved, and gave me chills.
So you mean extend the subscription AND buy another track? In principal yes but someone's going to have to talk to my wife for me.
Great race this weekend, a pity some damage saw us down on top speed for 23 hours of it or I'm sure we would done much better.
The start and finish numbers don't tell the full story, the starting position of 22 and finishing position of 21 don't show the fight of coming back from 40th so props to @Darksi @Ben Watkinson and @javoresku as we were all pretty evenly matched.
Sorry to disappoint you, but if I remember correctly, you need to buy the Nordschleife AND the Grand-Prix track to get to race the combined layouts.
Umm, probably not the best place to ask, but why do we have two different "Funny" emotes in the post reactions?


FLINTON — The Glendale wrestling team not only gets big contributions from its stars, including returning state runner-up Brock McMillen, it also gets key wins from the unheralded guys.
Two of the unheralded Vikings — Baine Seilhamer and Ethan Cavalet — played major roles against Northern Bedford on Tuesday night.
Seilhamer, a sophomore, rallied to pin Case Donaldson in the first bout, and Cavalet, a freshman, came through with a first-period fall in the next-to-last bout to spark the Vikings to a 53-27 win on senior night at Kitko Gymnasium.
With the win, the Vikings, ranked third by the Mirror, hiked their record to 13-1.
Donaldson came out on fire against Seilhamer at 145, scoring two sets of nearfall points in the first period to take an 8-0 lead. In the second period, though, Seilhamer reversed, scored two nearfall points and put Donaldson on his back again.

Auto-CIM notifies users when CNC production is complete or needs further input.
CIM-Tech will demo Auto-CIM at WMS Toronto at booth 1426. Kenny Belfatto to present at the Cabinet Design WMS Conference Session on Nov. 2 at 10:30 a.m.
ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — CIM-Tech.com will demonstrate Auto-CIM, the key to easily converting 3D solid models to machine-ready 2D drawings, at the 2017 Woodworking Machinery and Supply Expo (WMS) in Toronto, Canada Nov. 2-4. Auto-CIM automates the "Design to Production" process for one machine or several at the same time. The software will notify users when production is complete or needs further input. By removing the need for CNC technicians to manually process each part, it drastically reduces programming time.
Prom says that one of the most appreciated features of Auto-CIM is that it has the ability to notify CNC operators by email during each step of the processing. It will message the user with relevant notifications to ensure that the required processing has started, any deviations or errors that may have occurred and when the Auto-CIM process has been completed. These notifications allow operators and managers alike to stay connected to the programming process and know that the CNC machines are receiving the files needed to increase throughput.
2)	Auto-CIM then exports the individual drawing files, and creates a custom CSV file for importing into Router-CIM Automation Suite.
3)	Then Auto-CIM creates jobs, assigns tool paths, and produces machine-ready CNC code without human intervention.
4)	Auto-CIM notifies users when the processing is complete, finds errors or is waiting for next-step input.

Injecting DW Liquid ROS into the well increased the production of stripper wells up to 15 barrels per day from 1 barrel per day.
MARTINEZ, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ — DisinfectWater, working with an independent private oil service firm from Texas, recently conducted a field study on four different low producing oil wells (stripper wells) in Texas.
These wells were generating only one to two barrels of oil per day. Using several different methods of injecting DW Liquid ROS into the well, the production increased up to 15 barrels per day for five days and then dropped to 10 barrels per day for two weeks. The service operator then injected five gallons of DW Liquid ROS per day into the well casing.
The well continued to generate 15 barrels for every 12 hours of operations. Hydrogen sulfide was eliminated in the gas phase and liquid phase. Paraffin and asphaltenes, known to be a problem in the system, were minimized. DW Liquid ROS changed the surface structure of paraffin and asphaltenes so that it would not form a deposit and create clogs in the systems. The produced water from the operation was tested for iron, bacteria, and hydrogen sulfide. The results showed no detectable levels of iron, bacteria, and hydrogen sulfide. It was observed that the produced water looked cleaner than the water being produced prior to treatment.
Stripper wells are defined as oil (or gas) wells with an average production of 15 barrels or less per day of oil or gas equivalent. The average production from a stripper well as stated in a study conducted by the National Stripper Well Association (NWSA) is one to two barrels per day.
In the U.S., it is estimated by NWSA that there are over 770,000 stripper wells operating that contribute 11.3% of the U.S. oil production and 8.3% of U.S. gas production. Most of the stripper wells sit on untapped resources. It is estimated between 50-70% of the oil beneath the stripper well cannot be removed for three reasons — pressure, permeability and paraffin.
As these fields begin to produce oil or gas at the wellbore, the pressure begins to drop, resulting in lower production. With the amount of thermal energy (heat) entering the wellbore, you see a drop in production related to permeability. The oil in the well begins to cross its cloud point threshold, and paraffin crystals start to precipitate as the oil moves from the pore space to the wellbore opening.
If a well's flowrate is high enough, the continuing thermal mass of the oil entering the wellbore can keep the paraffin in solution, so that the buildup on the wellbore is kept to a minimum. If the flow rate decreases, the paraffin will create a thick deposit in the wellbore which will further decrease the flow of oil. An additional factor in reduced production is the biofilm in the wellbore and formation. The biofilm will provide additional sites for paraffin to deposit. A biofilm generates a sticky material called extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The EPS attracts the paraffin crystals, asphaltenes and iron sulfide to form a deposit on any surface.
DW Liquid ROS is a new technology that uses reactive oxygen species (ROS) to form a strong oxidizing agent that quickly reacts with hydrogen sulfide, iron sulfide, biofilm, and bacteria. It is also very effective as an emulsion breaker and micro-flocculent in the treatment of produced water. It can be used to destabilize paraffin and asphaltenes.
DW Liquid ROS is a green technology and is environmental friendly. DW Liquid ROS generates a high concentration of hydroxyl radical ions that react to form mineral oxides that are inert.

Reclaiming the public : Hannah Arendt and the political constitution of the United Kingdom
McCorkindale, Christopher (2011) Reclaiming the public : Hannah Arendt and the political constitution of the United Kingdom. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
My thesis seeks to reconcile British public law with an entity strangely alien to it, the people themselves. In other words, this is an attempt to re-discover the 'public' element of public law. Hannah Arendt, the primary theoretical focus of my work, challenged the people to recognize themselves as part of the problem of 'modernity'; the problem, that is to say, of political apathy and thus the emergence of forms of government repugnant to the human condition; to consciously reinvent themselves as politically engaged citizens; and to thus reconstitute traditional structures of authority, sovereignty and law. This is an onerous task, most salient in times of revolution, and so it is to the tumultuous climate of 17th century England that I look for evidence of these ideas (albeit briefly) emerging in the English (and, laterally, British) context, before considering the reasons for their failure to establish a firm foothold on the constitutional terrain, and the lessons this might have for the public, and public lawyers, today. For Arendt law was the means by which we 'belonged' to a community, and the means by which we 'promised' to maintain a public space within that community in order to participate and confer authority to government. It is this underdeveloped aspect of her work which I will first explore, and then put to work in the context of the British constitution.
