The subgenre of horror-westerns is not often used. In 1966, however, Embassy Pictures released a pair of this mixed breed on a groovy double feature. Joining Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter (1966) is tonight’s feature discussion, Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (1966). Both of these genre mashups are directed by William Beaudine. Once again, Dracula is portrayed by John Carradine (House of Frankenstein, 1944; House of Dracula, 1945) and you might also recognize Chuck Courtney, who plays Billy the Kid, from (Pet Sematary, 1989). From there the cast becomes a who’s who of TV and Film Westerns character actors, putting Jeff in his happy place!

Carradine once said this film was “the worst movie he ever acted in.” The Grue-Crew may have other thoughts. Check it out now and let us know what you think of this bizarre and fun blend of genres. 

At the time of this writing, Billy the Kid Versus Dracula is available for streaming from several different sources. The Grue Crew found the best resolution on the Classic Horror Movie Channel and Kanopy, but, among others, it can also be found on Tubi and Plex. The film is available on physical media as a Blu-ray from Kino Lorber.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. Up next in their very flexible schedule, as chosen by Jeff, is Beyond the Time Barrier (1960), directed by Edgar G. Ulmer (The Black Cat, 1934) and starring Robert Clarke (The Hideous Sun Demon, 1958).

📽 TobiView 📽 *WINGS OF FREEDOM* Kinostart: 28.09.1989 MJK Productions, Edel Media & Entertainment, Intergroove Media, Paragon Movies FSK 16 ▪️ Prolog: Regisseur und Autor Max Kleven drehte mit einem unbekannten Budget diese Action-Komödie. Im Kino konnte ich den Film leider nicht sehen, aber erstmals Anfang der 90er-Jahre im TV. ▪️ Inhalt: ‘White Bread‘ ist Kopfgeldjäger und sorgt dafür, dass auf Kaution Freigelassene zu ihrem Gerichtstermin erscheinen. Gemeinsam mit ‘Blue‘, der genauso schnell spricht, wie er schießt, und ‘Bean‘, der erst schießt, bevor er denkt, soll ‘W.B.‘ auf die reiche Erbin Nettie Ridgeway aufpassen. Sie ist Zeugin eines Drogenkartell-Mordes geworden, weshalb sie in höchster Gefahr schwebt. Die Aufgabe gestaltet sich jedoch alles andere als leicht. Ein skrupelloser Kokain-Dealer hat es auf Nettie abgesehen und all seine Männer auf sie angesetzt. Sie verschleppen ihre Geisel nach Mexiko, doch die Kopfgeldjäger um ‘White Bread‘ nehmen die Verfolgung auf. ▪️ Besetzung: David Hasselhoff spielt ‘White Bread‘ und Linda Blair spielt Nettie Ridgeway. In weiteren Rollen sieht man u. a. Tony Brubaker als ‘Blue‘, Thomas Rosales Jr. als ‘Bean‘, John Vernon als Mr. Ridgeway oder Valerie Swift als Cors. ▪️ Epilog: Würde ‘The Hoff‘ in diesem Film nicht mitspielen und seine Musik nicht den Soundtrack bilden, so wüsste ich wahrscheinlich nicht, dass dieser Film überhaupt existiert. Im Gegensatz zu seinen TV-Serien hat ‘The Hoff‘ bei seiner Filmauswahl nie ein gutes Händchen bewiesen. Ich bin riesiger Hasselhoff-Fan - das und die mit dem Film verbundenen Kindheitserinnerungen sind der Grund für die hohe Wertung, mit einem Augenzwinkern. 80er-Trash-Feeling pur á la A-Team, mit sympathischen Charakteren, dennoch bei weitem kein guter Film. Ohne rosarote Fan-Brille läge die Wertung sehr viel niedriger. ▪️ Fazit: Grandios Wertung: 9 ▪️ #TobisFilmwelt | #TobiView | #WingsOfFreedom | #WBBlueAndTheBean | #DavidHasselhoff | #TheHoff | #MJKProductions | #EdelMediaEntertainment | #IntergrooveMedia | #ParagonMovies | #Filmstagram | #Filme | #Kino | #News | #NurmeineMeinung | #Movie | #Cinema | #Moviegram | #Filmblog | #Movieblog | #Germanblogger | #Filmblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/CApZ-A0n4d6/?igshid=1pqr6pe1bwwq5

Bedtime Stories: Favorite Books to Benefit Your Growing Child

The following blog post Bedtime Stories: Favorite Books to Benefit Your Growing Child is republished from MLF

Bedtime stories are a part of almost every family nighttime routine. Reading is a screen-free, quiet activity that allows babies and children to calm down before it’s time to go to sleep. Reading stories to young children has benefits beyond a bedtime routine, though.

The American Academy of Pediatrics studied the brain function of children, age three to five, to see the effects of reading aloud. They found that the areas of the brain that promote mental imagery and comprehension were activated by reading stories. When you read to your child, it helps develop their brain in a way that will help when they begin to read and comprehend on their own.

Talk To Your Baby

Your baby really loves to hear your voice. It doesn’t matter if they understand your words early on. They are picking up speech patterns and tonal differences which help them learn and process language. Additionally, babies can sense your love and affection for them in your voice. Talk and sing to your child as much as you can and they will be learning how much you love them. They’ll also become better prepared to speak for themselves.

Read To Your Baby, Too

Reading books to your child is also important. We may just assume this is a good idea because everyone tells us to do it. But there is more to reading a bedtime story to a baby or toddler than having a calm activity before bed. Pediatricians are now including a discussion on reading and providing books with parents of newborns because it is vitally connected to a baby’s intellectual development. In fact, the AAP has even urged their practitioners to include literacy in their practice.

Scientists think that children are exposed to a broader range and more diverse set of words through picture books. As a result, they are challenged to practice imagining the images suggested through the words. Later on, children who have more practice at this will be better able to make images and stories out of words themselves.

Reading bedtime stories will help foster a close, emotionally rich relationship with your child

Bedtime Stories Bring You Closer To Your Child

There are huge benefits to your child’s development when you read books from an early age. This benefit goes well beyond an educational advantage. Regular bedtime reading will also help foster a close, emotionally rich relationship with your child. In time, it will help build a bridge toward discussion of deep ideas and important subjects that you will help him understand.

Growing a strong parent-child bond over years of snuggles and good books at bedtime is one of the best things about parenting. You may be dog-tired at times, but in 20 years, you won’t regret those 10 to 20 minutes a night you spent reading with your child.

Need a Good Book?

We live in an age where there is an abundance of wonderful children’s literature. There are always going to be more books available than we can possibly read to our child while they are interested, but it sure is fun trying to read them all!

You don’t need to buy them all. Start making regular visits to your local library and you will be amazed at the resources available to you for free. Many libraries allow you to reserve titles online in the comfort of your own home and then pick up your selections already collected for you at the main desk. This is a dream for the mom of young ones!

We’ve compiled a list of books to check out. Some are timeless classics, while others are modern. Most of these qualify as picture books. Picture books contain very few words in relation to the pictures — only about 500 on average — which means that each word is intentional, and the story is concise. This helps your child develop their language skills and encourages engagement through the pictures. A few have a larger vocabulary for older readers. The ages are approximate — these books are as ageless as they are timeless!

For children who have trouble falling asleep, picture books can also be a good jumping off point for working on visualization. The Sleep Lady Dream Cards are also a great tool for visualization.

So, go ahead and curl up with your little one and a good book. It doesn’t even have to be at bedtime to offer huge benefits to your child.

The fastest-growing real estate companies in the U.S.

http://ift.tt/2uJnQYV

Every year Inc. magazine ranks the 5,000 fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S. This year, 17 real estate companies made the top 500 cut, while 196 made the 5,000 list.

Companies who applied and were selected for the list are ranked based on revenue growth from 2013 to 2016.

While being featured is an accomplishment in itself worth celebrating, the success measured here might be one telling sign in a firm’s crystal-ball as evidenced by the big names who have graced the list and moved on via acquisition or public offering: LinkedIn, Zillow and Yelp were all Inc. 5000 honorees before they went public.

To be considered for the Inc. 5000, firms must be independent, not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies; for profit; and had to have revenues in 2013 of at least $100,000 and revenues in 2016 of at least $2 million.

San Diego-based 100-percent commission brokerage Big Block Realty came in at no. 31 as the top-ranked company in the real estate category with a growth rate of 8,829 percent in 2016 and revenue of $28.9 million.

“What got us on Inc. 500 in the top 35 two years in a row is twofold: 1) Our culture and 2) We go above and beyond for our agents,” said Oliver Graf, president of Big Block Realty. “We have social events, agent concierge, training sessions and so much more to help them succeed and plug in on every level.

6 ways empowered agents embrace disruption to drive success

Using technology to generate leads and win listings READ MORE

“Because we are taking such good care of our agents, the word of mouth is creating a buzz. Starting from where we started, being laughed at, being told it cannot be done, and all the door slams … to go from that to the Inc. 500 two years in a row is the ultimate grand prize for any entrepreneur.”

Real estate companies that followed Big Block include:

S2 Capital, a real estate developer that acquires and renovates multifamily properties and turns them into investment platforms, 72

Level Office, a provider of coworking office space to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and corporate satellite offices, 94

Nelson Brothers, a property management company that acquires and manages real estate assets, such as student housing and assisted living centers, that it considers opportunities for growth, 129

MZ Capital Partners, operator of a real estate investment firm focusing on multi-family assets, 147

The Garrett Companies, a developer and manager of multifamily apartment buildings, having completed 34 projects in 12 states to date, 210

My Home Group Real Estate, a real estate services company with seven locations in Arizona providing clients and agents with technology that makes the real estate process more seamless, 240

Verius Property Group, a buyer, developer, builder, and manager of residential apartment complexes, 250

Fathom Realty, a 100-percent commission virtual brokerage for rental properties across the South, Southwest and Atlantic seaboard regions, 286

Worth Clark Realty, a St. Charles, Missouri-based 100-percent commission brokerage that assists clients with buying, selling, property valuations, leasing, tenant screening, and property management in multiple cities, 296

  Digging deeper into the brokerage rankers, My Home Group Real Estate had a growth rate of 1,792 percent and sales volume of $1.1 billion. Led by former Keller Williams-trained agents, Mark Hutchins and Jereme Klevens, the company has 18 offices in Arizona, California and Washington.

New York City-based brokerage Triplemint, which closed a $4.5 million Series A funding round in February, came in at #325 behind Worth Clark.

Texas-based Fathom Realty CEO Josh Harley said he was happy to have made it into the Inc. 500 for the fourth year in a row. The company’s growth rate was 1,545 percent with revenue of $41.8 million.

Frisco, Texas-based JP & Associates Realtors, which recorded a growth rate of 773.5 percent in 2016, ranked at 586.

“We are honored to be included among America’s who’s who, privately held fastest growing companies,” said JP & Associates Realtors founder JP Piccinini. “While our company is still in the infant stages, we are very excited about the future and our continued growth across Texas and the U.S. JP and Associates Realtors (JPAR) will continue to be recognized on this list for years to come.”

Meanwhile, New York-based high-end Auction house Concierge Auctions and brokerage Hawaii Life also made the list for the fourth time in a row a bit further down.

  Straight after JPAR on the list at 587, with a growth rate of 769 percent, came The K Company Realty, based in Florida and Colorado.

Other real estate companies or those related to real estate on the list included Re/Max Titanium at 660, Caliber Real Estate at 687, Professional Realty Services International at 768, DLP Realty at 785 and Beer Home Team, at 831.

Real Estate Expert Advisers came it at 904 and Lake Homes Realty at 927.
