 This week on Fabulous Film and Friends  I'm both chasing butterflies and swatting at hornets whilst forcing my friends to watch and analyze the films of director S. Craig Zahler a filmmaker who couldn't have a more awkward professional name than if he had gone with "E. Marvin Bummington." But are his films worth discussing? We're talking 2015's Bone Tomahawk starring the mighty Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Richard Jenkins, Matthew Fox, David Arquette, Lili Simmons, Fred Melamed, Kathryn Morris, Geno Segers and in a pair of blink and you'll miss ‘em cameos: Sean Young and Michael Paré then 2017's Brawl in Cell Block 99 starring Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, Udo Kier, Marc Blucas, Geno Segers, Dion Mucciato and Don Johnson and finally Dragged Across Concrete which came out somewhere in 2019 and stars Mel Gibson, Tory Kettles, Michael Jai White, Thomas Kretschmann and “the S. Craig Zahler traveling players” who include Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, Fred Melamed, Udo Kier and Don Johnson. My guests today are my go-to series regulars who are the only pair I know who have the slightest interest in joining me in this flight of fancy, Roseanne Caputi and Alex Robertson.Okay before we wander outside of town onto the deadly trail: the synopses: In Bone Tomahawk, a murderous outlaw unwittingly leads a band of cannibalistic savages into a peaceful western town where the brutes kidnap the jailed outlaw, a deputy and the town's doctor who is also the wife of Arthur, a local rancher. Despite an injured leg, Arthur joins a rescue party with Sheriff Hunt, Hunt's old deputy Chicory, and a mysterious dandy cum gunslinger named Brooder. With Arthur's injury slowing them down, the four brave men follow the savage's path to hellish territory where they come face-to-face with unimaginable horrors that test both the team's courage and sanity. Brawl in Cell Block 99  tells the tale of Bradley Thomas who, in one day , is fired from his job and learns his wife is having an affair. He decides the only way to salvage his marriage is to go full time into drug smuggling to make the real money. A year later all is well: Bradley has a big house and his wife is pregnant but he goes in on a shady deal with some sleazy cartel types and it all goes south, forcing Bradley to choose between killing cops and killing cartel members. He chooses the latter but still ends up with in a five year prison sentence in a minimum security prison. Seems it is what it is until a messenger from the cartel comes to visit Bradley on his second day in the cooler and tells him that if he doesn't get transferred to the maximum-security prison in order to kill a high value target in Cell Block 99 that his wife and unborn child will be murdered. Bradley dutifully and mercilessly follows their orders to save his family  until he realizes all may not be what it seems.  In Dragged Across Concrete, unorthodox and vaguely shady take-no-prisoners cops, Brett Ridgeman and Anthony Lurasetti, are suspended for use of excessive force and use their unpaid leave to plan a heist. Unfortunately, their plot leads to witnessing a deadly bank robbery committed by a vicious and amoral trio of crooks led by Lorentz Vogelmann, who hired street thugs Henry Johns and Biscuit to be part of their team. With a dire hostage situation on their hands and after witnessing several murders, Henry and Biscuit begin to suspect that their hours are numbered as part of Vogelmann's crew. At the same time, Ridgeman and Lurassetti are the only ones who have tailed the gang to their getaway hideout and are the only pair who can make a difference. The two forces meet up in the proverbial abandoned warehouse and chaos ensues. How do the films stack up? 

Marcum LLP's Hartford office managing partner Michael Brooder joins the CBIA BizCast to break down the 2023 Survey of Connecticut Businesses. The survey highlights some of the top concerns for businesses, including workforce and the costs of living and doing business in the state. “These days? It's labor, labor, labor, and costs,” said Brooder. “If you look at the open jobs and the availability of people that are there to fill them, it's just that they're not there. “Let's figure out how to grow, and let's figure out how to be competitive, and let's figure out how to make Connecticut a place where people want to do business.”

Nesta edição do "CBN Inovação", o comentarista Evandro Milet traz como destaque mais uma iniciativa local, daqui do Espírito Santo, que permite com que ideias empreendedoras ganhem o mundo. O destaque desta segunda (13) é o trabalho realizado pela "Brooder", um centro de valor criado, justamente, para conectar os empreendimentos do grupo a negócios inovadores e para fomentar o ecossistema empreendedor. Alexandre Rodrigues, acceleration & community da "Brooder", participa da conversa e traz detalhes do programa. A sede do programa fica na Avenida Vitória, na Capital, no Forte São João. Rodrigues destaca que o ecossistema de inovação e empreendedorismo passa por uma grande expansão no Brasil e os principais atores desse mercado são as startups. Entretanto, boa parte dos envolvidos ainda tem dúvidas sobre o mercado. O programa da "Brooder" é dividido em duas etapas. A primeira, chamada de "Garagem", é um momento de entendimento do plano do empreendedor para a startup e para conhecer a equipe que vai entregar a visão do negócio. "Na segunda etapa, iniciamos o processo de aceleração, no qual buscamos acompanhar os empreendedores para orientá-los na execução do plano e trabalharmos juntos para um novo cenário de crescimento do negócio", detalha Rodrigues. "Nós somos um centro de valor e o nosso propósito é conectar os negócios do grupo Avista a novos negócios e a empresas inovadoras. Como fazemos isso? São duas frentes e em uma delas é o nosso programa de aceleração de empresas, no qual ajudamos empreendedores a tirarem uma ideia do papel e também ajuda a empreendedores que já têm um negócio a irem um novo patamar de crescimento", complementa. Acompanhe a detalhes da conversa!

Did you know a commercial meat chicken or turkey may spend up to 40% of it's life inside a brooder? Layers, by comparison, spend approximately 5% of their first lay-cycle in the brooder. For all our poultry species, the time in the brooder is critical to the long term health and productivity of the flock with an emphasis placed on the first three days of life. These first few days, especially for meat birds, is an important time for the bird to establish healthy eating patterns and appetites. Brooding, especially as you scale up, is typically the most obvious weak link in a pastured poultry production system, and that's really counter-intuitive. You may think that taking care of a chicken inside a building is easy because you alleviate the most weather and predator risks of pasture. Inside the brooder, your job is to raise a young chick or poult with an immature immune system, get it the proper nutrition, keep it comfortably warm, and maintain the brooder environment amid constantly changing weather. And you do it without environment controls inside the brooder. In this brooder environment, there's a commingling of factors that makes the brooder time challenging. In the podcast episode, I discuss the relationship between heat, ventilation, stocking density, bedding, and more. You mess up the time in the brooder at your own risk, which is to say, this is one of the most important phases of your production that you can master, and that's why I recorded this podcast episode. In this episode... Time in the brooder by species Brooder heat Have a backup heat Ohio Brooder Rules of thumb for adjusting heat Poorly feathered birds Harden off the chicks before going to pasture Brooder space for chicks and turkey poults 1/4 sq ft per chick per week Rounded corners Feed and water management in the brooder Bedding management and types Clean, dry, and warm is the key to brooder. Ventilation and drafts predators in the brooder A note about coccidiosis Receiving Chicks into the Brooder Our friends at Fertrell did a webinar training on Receiving Chicks that covers some of the same information as the podcast episode, but it also focuses heavily on those first three days of life in your care.

Propane heaters are more efficient brooder heating options for pastured poultry producers than electrical heat lamps. Contact Spence on Facebook or on the web.

Mycologist and author Peter McCoy of RadicalMycology.com takes on the question - The question is whether or not mushrooms could be used in a brooder to help break down the wood based bedding, manure and spilled feed and maybe get a mushroom harvest. My brooder, along with others across the country are basically going to sit idle over the winter. Come late winter I go in there with some tools and clear it out. It is my least favorite day of the entire year. I'd be interested in inoculating the bedding with a mushroom and seeing what could be done. Any reduction in the amount of bedding would be a gain. If I could get some mushrooms out of it, all the better.  My thoughts were to cultivate something over the winter while the brooder is inactive and then clean it out before my first batch of broilers begins late February. Not sure if that would be a long enough time frame for mushrooms.

Managing the chicks from when they arrive on the farm until they reach about three weeks of age when it's time to go out onto pasture. Today's episode picks up right where that one left off. We talk all about transitioning birds to pasture, and then managing the new birds on pasture. There's a lot of practical and immediately applicable advice in this one. And this one also finishes up our series of shows on pastured poultry management. We've now covered all the way from choosing a hatchery to getting the finished birds processed. Today's show ties up some of the loose ends at the tail end of the process, it's all about transitioning the chicks from the brooder to the pasture. READY TO START YOUR OWN LIVESTOCK FARM?

This week our farming podcast talks about how we (the farmers) manage to get away on a vaction while entrusting the farm to capable hands. Who says farming needs to be all work and no play. There's a set of steps we undergo to ensure the farm is ready to be watched and we share a bunch of those. We share our story about a farmers market we visited while on vacation in sunny Florida.  It was interesting for us to deal with how the farmer becomes the consumer. There's a new segment this week called "Remember When"... where we talk about how we start off little chicks to grow them into healthy birds. Finally, our last segment this week is an "In the News" where we discuss how China, Russia and otehr countries have banned the import of a bunch of US raised meats because of the usage of a chemical called Ractopamine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ractopamine
