Code Name: Johnny Walker
2014
\"Johnny Walker,\" as the US Navy SEALs dubbed him, was more than your average wartime interpreter (or \"terp,\" as soldiers often call them). Or he would make the suspect think he had passed the interrogation with flying colors before casually asking him, using the suspect's real name, to reclaim his false papers. The author remains anonymous for the safety of his family here and in Iraq.Walker grew up in Mosul, quick with his fists and a slingshot and sensitive to the slights and injustices that abound in a poor, corrupt land ruled by a dictator.

THE GOTHIC ROOTS OF FOUND FOOTAGE
by
Barnett, David
in
Walker, Johnny
2016
\"It's not quite reality,\" muses [Josh]. \"It's like a totally filtered reality. It's like you can pretend everything's not quite the way it is.\" Although The Blair Witch Project is considered the start of the trend, [Johnny Walker] points to one of the classic \"video nasties\" of the Eighties as the true beginnings of it - the infamous Cannibal Holocaust, a 1980 Italian exploitation movie which Walker describes as a \"hybrid\" - part found footage, part conventional movie framing - the \"documentary\" based on the film supposedly shot by an ill-fated expedition into the South American jungles. \"The market has become a little saturated recently,\" he says, \"and perhaps the two Blair Witch movies will book-end the trend, certainly for mainstream audiences. I imagine there will still be found footage movies made, but they'll need to do something different and original to get such a high profile as Blair Witch.\" That said, as Dr Walker points out, we all carry around more video technology in our pockets than the amateur filmmaking crew had in their entire arsenal for the first Blair Witch movie. In other words, perhaps we're all potentially a found footage horror story waiting to happen, which is something of a sobering thought.

Peninsula servers test skills in Waiters Race: Competitors had: to pour beers, carry trays over obstacles
2016
\"I've been working there for about three years and carry trays all the time,\" he said. \"I was surprised the pour took a little long, but I knew I could run through the course.\" Venture's Stephanie Kimbraugh won the women's competition. She was followed by [Schlesinger]'s Kelly Harris and Hoss's Deli's Debnes Samuels. \"They were amazing competitors,\" Kimbraugh said. \"I'm a little surprised, but we're carrying martinis at Venture all the time so I'm a little used to it.\"
