PALM SPRINGS — World War II movies often are favorites of Academy voters, and Holland’s entry in this year’s foreign-language film Oscar race, “Winter in Wartime,” has a good chance to be recognized when nominations are announced. It bears resemblance to another Dutch movie about the Resistance, Paul Verhoeven’s “Black Book,” a contender for the Oscars three years ago. “Winter” actually is a less-hyperbolic melodrama; indeed, it’s one of the most beautifully crafted movies in this year’s race. Even if it fails to snag a nomination, it deserves to be picked up for U.S. distribution because it has enough excitement to seize the attention of discriminating audiences.
The time is January 1945, and food is scarce in Nazi-occupied Holland. A 14-year-old, Michiel (Martijn Lakemeier), is bored and dreaming of adventure, itching to play his part in the Resistance. He has an opportunity when he and a friend witness the shoot-down of an RAF pilot who goes into hiding in the nearby forest. Michiel resolves to help the pilot escape, and as he gets more deeply involved in the Resistance, he places his family in jeopardy.
Michiel is disdainful of his father, the town mayor, who tries to placate the Nazi leaders, though the boy is more worshipful of his uncle Ben, a Resistance fighter who moves in with the family. Yet the strength of the film is the way in which a more complex worldview gradually reshapes Michiel’s fantasies. There are plenty of unexpected twists as the story builds to a powerful conclusion.
Director Martin Koolhoven sustains the young protagonist’s point of view throughout the film. We see nothing that he does not see or experience, yet we feel the director is showing us absolutely everything we need to see. The bleakness of the wintry setting is beautifully caught by cinematographer Guido van Gennep. Some of the suspense scenes, like the opening plane crash or when Michiel falls beneath the ice and, to his dismay, is rescued by a German soldier, are absolutely thrilling. But there also are wonderfully tender, intimate scenes including one in which Michiel’s father teaches him how to shave.
Young Lakemeier’s performance is poignant without ever falling into sentimentality. Jamie Campbell Bower as the baby-faced British pilot adds another dimension to the film’s portrayal of boys devastated by war. Raymond Thiry as Michiel’s father etches a fine portrayal, blending pragmatism with understated nobility.
Technical credits are first-rate. The score by veteran composer Pino Donaggio is a major asset. While the film has the rousing action of the best Hollywood war films, it ends on a note of melancholy that testifies to the maturity of these gifted filmmakers.

Boston Mayor: 'KJ and Hondo' are keys to Celtics beating Heat
Thomas Menino, the Mayor of Boston, gets confused and refers to Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo as "KJ and Hondo" in explaining the Celtics success against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals.
The Miami Heat stand no chance on Thursday night thanks to the unstoppable pair of Kevin Johnson and John Havlicek. Wait. What?
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino got a little confused when breaking down the Eastern Conference finals between his city's Celtics and the Miami Heat.
"There's a lot of heart on this team," Menino said in recent comments caught on camera. "Let me just tell you. KJ is great but Hondo is really the inspiration. Hondo drives that team. I'm really pleased what's happened the last few nights."
"KJ" was the nickname of former Phoenix Suns point guard Kevin Johnson, who retired in 2000 and is now the Mayor of Sacramento. Menino obviously meant to refer to All-Star forward Kevin Garnett, 21.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks against the Heat, who is often referred to by his initials "KG."
"Hondo" was the nickname of Havlicek, a Hall of Fame Celtics guard who retired in 1978. Menino obviously was referring to All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo, who is averaging 20.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 11.0 assists and 1.8 steals against the Heat.
Later Thursday, Menino, who has a history with messing up the names of Boston athletes, posted an apology on Twitter: "You know it's championship season when I flub our athletes' names! Sorry KG & Rondo, it's kind of my thing- another Menino-ism! Go Celtics!"
The Celtics have won three straight games to take a 3-2 series lead. Game 6 is set for Thursday night at TD Garden. Should the Celtics win, they would advance to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals.

Telkom has joined MTN and Vodacom in shutting stores in violence-torn KwaZulu-Natal, and has now decided to close its outlets countrywide until further notice as a precautionary measure.
“Please note that from 13 July, all Telkom stores across the country will be closed until the situation can be assessed fully and it can be established that it is completely safe to resume business activities,” the company said in a statement.
Telkom encouraged its customers to use digital self-service channels, including its smartphone app.
“Telkom understands that customers will be relying on their connectivity during this time more than ever and we have therefore put a range of plans in place to ensure network availability and stability,” it said.
“The company remains steadfast in ensuring that its connectivity services remain up throughout and as such all essential and necessary services will be running, managed and improved as needed.”


The incident occurred near Africa.
Representatives of the naval forces (Navy) Libya reported 31 killed in the Mediterranean sea. The bodies of many of them was discovered bite marks sharks. We know about the two overturned boats with migrants who sailed to Europe.
It also reported more than 40 people who went missing.
The representatives of the Libyan Navy added that at the scene were also crowded boat with other refugee groups.
“There were a lot of bodies, and we saw four or five sharks swimming between them. Large blue shark, very aggressive,” said one of the sailors.

Over the last several weeks, reports have been swirling around that Apple will be announcing its upcoming smartphone, the iPhone 5, in September. So far, the company hasn’t made any indication that that will happen, and chances are it won’t divulge any details until Apple CEO Steve Jobs is standing on the stage showing it off. Even so, that hasn’t stopped the reports from coming.
One of the more recent rumors suggests that Apple has contracted with a manufacturing company to build 15 million iPhone 5 units. That figure is staggering and suggests that Apple has high hopes for the upcoming smartphone.
Such high hopes are understandable. Even without all the details known at this point, there’s little chance that the iPhone 5 won’t sell exceedingly well. Simply put,Apple’s smartphone is poised for success.
Read on to find out why:
1. The production tallies rarely lie
Although there is no way to prove that Apple requested 15 million iPhone 5 units, the reality is, there’s a good chance it did. Apple has a long track record of accurately predicting demand. With each new iPhone release, the company typically accommodates the vast majority of requests within the first few weeks of launch. Given that history, if Apple ordered 15 million units, there’s a solid chance that it will sell that many iPhone 5s (and then some). And 15 million units is an impressive figure.
2. 4G could be a winner
Recent speculation suggests that Apple is considering offering 4G connectivity in the iPhone 5. If the company does so, there will be no wonder why the iPhone 5 sells well. When it comes to Web connectivity, 4G is the future. And Apple is the company that likes to capitalize on the future. Once it explains the benefits of 4G-namely, faster connectivity speeds-it won’t be long before consumers and enterprise users jump at the chance to ditch 3G in favor of their 4G-equipped iPhone 5.
3. It has been a long wait
In the past, Apple has released its new iPhone models in the summer. However, it doesn’t appear to be following that strategy this year. So, by the time the iPhone 5 finally launches, it will have been a long wait for iPhone customers who are used to seeing a new device every 12 months. When there are long waits, demand starts to build up, priming the market for a sales deluge.
4. AT&T could be a cash cow
It’s important to keep in mind that iPhone 5 sales need to be considered over the life of the product’s availability, not just its initial few months on store shelves. Realizing that, if AT&T gains the regulatory approval it needs to acquire T-Mobile USA, Apple could benefit greatly, since the company’siPhone will be available to tens of millions more customers who are chomping at the bit to have Apple’s smartphone in their hands. With T-Mobile’s help, Apple’s iPhone 5 sales could explode.
No Competing Mobile Device Can Slow It Down
5. When hasn’t it sold well?
Let’s face it: Apple’s iPhone has always sold well. And if the reports are true and Apple will be offering a nicely improved iPhone 5, there’s no reason to suggest its next release won’t follow suit. History must always be one’s guide when they forecast the future. When it comes to Apple’s history, the iPhone has always been a huge success.
6. Apple’s marketing will be top-notch
Part of the reason for the iPhone’s success over the years has been Apple’s marketing. As soon as it announces a new smartphone, Apple takes to the airwaves, showcasing the new device anddiscussing its finer points. Along the way, consumers get excited. This time around, expect Apple to do the same with the iPhone 5. And when it does, expect the same excitement to result. With Apple’s marketing, the iPhone 5 will be far more likely to succeed.
7. Android competitors can’t stop it
There are several smartphones on the market right now that are appealing to consumers. And many of those devices are Android-based smartphones. Even so, none of those devices can compete with the iPhone. Apple’s smartphone features the best design, outstanding software and a price that consumers like. To some customers, it’s the complete smartphone package. Apple’s iPhone 5 will be launching in a market in which it will likely be the superior option, as well. And as long as that’s the case, there’s no reason to suggest it won’t be a winner.
8. RIM isn’t appealing to the enterprise as much
Over the years, Apple’s iPhone has slowly but surely made strides in the enterprise. Part of that is due to attitude changes among IT decision-makers and the increasing crossover of consumer electronics products to corporate IT. But the iPhone’s increasing enterprise adoption also has to do with RIM’s troubles. The mobile company, which admittedly still has a strong corporate presence, has lost its way as of late due to poor product designs and ineffective product strategies. Save for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the company’s solutions haven’t been as appealing to enterprise users as they have in the past. When the iPhone 5 launches, it will likely be even more compelling for enterprise users (after all, each new iteration has been more corporate-friendly). That alone could help make Apple’s upcoming offering trump the BlackBerry in the enterprise.
9. The iPad is helping to sell more iPhones
Apple’s iPad 2 is viewed by some as a competitor to the iPhone, since the device functions in a similar way. But the tablet is also helping Apple’s iPhone sales. After all, if an Android handset owner buys an iPad and likes what she sees, she might be far more likely to buy an iPhone 5 when her smartphone contract is up. Just as the iPhone helped sell iPads, Apple’s tablet will undoubtedly help the company sell more iPhone 5 units.
10. Timing is everything
Currently,it is believed that Apple will announce the iPhone 5 in September and possibly launch the device either that month or in October. In either case, the company would be releasing the smartphone at the right time. Each year, the holidays are a key time for technology companies, and every firm tries to capitalize on the heavy shopping season. By offering the iPhone 5 in September or October, the iPhone 5’s novelty wouldn’t have worn off by the holiday-shopping season, thus helping Apple’s smartphone top the shopping lists of consumers around the globe.

Lorde Calls Out Stalker/Paparazzo On Twitter, Claims She Is Afraid Of Him!
A New Zealand-based photographer named Simon Runting must feel a little embarrassed today. 17-year-old Lorde went on her Twitter account Saturday to publicly humiliate the paparazzo.
The singer-songwriter started her public shaming by posting a photo of Simon Runting (seen down below) and writing, “this man has been stalking me, photographing me and refusing me privacy. i am scared of him. he frequents central akl.”
She then continued her assault by posting scary, long-range photos Simon snapped of Rihanna standing outside her hotel room.[more…]
But wait, there is more! Lorde wanted to make it clear that young women in Hollywood shouldn’t have to accept this.
“i refuse to stay complicit and i refuse to stay passive about men systematically subjecting me to extreme fear. i understand that this comes with the territory. i do not understand why I should be complacent.”
It’s not just Lorde who hates this Runting character. Rihanna also complained about the photos he took of her last year, “I hate these n***** more than Nazis.” She wrote on her Instagram account back in October.
Simon is known as “the world’s least discreet paparazzi photographer.” I guess that makes him King in Paparazzi land. You think rookie paparazzi photographers have posters of Simon on their wall? Just wishing that one day they will be as hated as he is.

Making Of 'Garage'
Hi all! It's a pleasure for me to give you an overall view of this project!
I started this image last summer. During to the vacation, I decided to take a model from a short I was developing and use it to study lighting and shading with a cartoony look.
I wanted to create an ambient, alien look. The principal character is from another world (the one with the big feet that you can just see under the garage door) and I wanted to communicate that with little details here and there.
As usual I asked Giovanni Lo Re (a really good friend I used to work with in Italy) to make a little sketch of the scene and to design the objects.
After collecting some reference images (especially from other 3D artists) and after some emails he ended up with this drawing (Fig.01a) and was a really good starting point!
Then he sent me some detailed drawings of the tools and the car (Fig.01b & Fig.01c).
Modeling was pretty straightforward - it was all poly modeling and a lot of little pieces!
For the car, after the body was finished (Fig. 02a) I started modeling the interior and the details (Fig. 02b).
As to the environment, I modeled every object separately and then imported them as references. I wanted to find a good camera angle, similar to the one of the drawing. In the end I decided to turn the wall on the right side about 45 degrees to have more space and get a nicer shot (Fig. 02c & Fig. 02d).
Texturing & Shading
For texturing I used the 3DTotal Textures collection. These textures are amazing and it is a huge library! Many times I just started browsing through them without any idea of what I was looking for until I found something that fitted the scene.For the wall I took the base layer from Total Textures V01:R2 - General Textures ", some dirt from Total Textures V02:R2 - Aged & Stressed and Total Textures V05:R2 - Dirt & Graffiti and mixed them in Photoshop following the UV layout (Fig.03a).
Total Textures V1:R2 General Textures
Total Textures V2:R2 Aged & Stressed
Total Textures V5:R2 Dirt & Graffiti
I then did the same for the tires (Fig.03b).
For the sky Giovanni started with a base from the Total Textures V15:R2 - Toon Textures and continued adding details, painting clouds and little planets.
For the car paint and tires materials I decided to go with layered materials. This gave me the ability to add dirt, scratch and all the little details I wanted with minimum effort. The textures mostly came from Total Textures V05:R2 because they're full of dirt masks. After importing them into Photoshop I reduced the details to make them more cartoony and I made a lot of masks to control the layering.
Total Textures V8:R2 Vehicles
Total Textures V15:R2 Toon Textures
The shaders were quite simple: lots of fresnel effect for the glass and metal and then simple shader trees layered with a mib_color_mix node (Fig.03c).
Lighting & Rendering
At the beginning I wanted to try the new Mental Ray pass system, but after a while I liked the raw render from Maya so I decided just to use a beauty pass, an occlusion pass, and one pass for light fog, as well as some masks. I ended up with 16 passes (Fig.4a), mostly masks, because I wanted to be able to do separate color correction while still producing an image ready for animation without hand-drawn masks or retouching in Photoshop.
Lighting was really fun but also time consuming... I think I spent most of my time on this and on compositing. I rendered a lot of different versions with different colors and light rigs (Fig.04b) going back and forth between versions until we found a good combination of mood and details.
I used a technique I saw in a DVD from Jeremy Vickery (www.jermilex.com) on the use of Ambient Occlusion to simulate bounce/fill lighting. All you have to do is to connect the output of the AO to the ambient color of all the shaders in the scene (Fig.04c). You have to think about it like this: the light color is going to light the non-occluded parts, while the dark one is going to light the occluded ones, so avoid pure black and pure white! I also put some orangish tones in to warm the image up.
After establishing the key + fill I started adding bounce lights for the sunLight and a lot of rim light to separate the objects from the background. This is a screenshot of the scene and a list of all the lights in the scene (fig. 04d). I also added some reflectors with a white surface shader to give that cartoony look to the reflections on the glasses.
This was the first time I'd tried to use Nuke and I really learnt a lot! I rendered some passes as 32bit floating point openEXR (beauty, zDepth) to have more freedom and the rest as 8bit iff.
Nuke gives you the possibility of creating new channels from images, so I used the colorID passes to put new channels into the pipe in order to be able to select the various objects with just one click through the whole script. This was especially useful while doing color correction. Height passes and the light fog helped me to improve the atmosphere while the vignetting allowed me to concentrate the attention on the car, which was supposed to be the most important spot of the image. In Fig.05a you can see a screenshot of the whole script with some explanations!
I'm really happy about writing this tutorial and sharing what I've learnt with you! I think that this has been a little like a production workflow because we had to get feedback from each other by mail ... sending progresses and trying to understand each other just by reading. Maybe if we had been able to work side by side we wouldn't have done all those tests, but I think that this has been a nice research piece and I'm just looking forward to starting a new project,
If you have any questions, feel free to write to me!
Thank you to everyone!

HARVEY BIRDMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW: A videogame about a lawyer who’s also a “third-rate superhero” — or maybe it’s the other way around — gets a good review: “Like Space Ghost Coast to Coast, a lot of the plaintiffs/defendants/other lawyers/judges turn out to be Hanna Barbera villains or heroes. The two shows have a similar sense of humor, which is to say, hilariously badly awfully greatly funny and non sequitur. . . . As Harvey Birdman, you’re required to gather evidence, interview witnesses, assemble your case, and finally go to trial in an effort to prove your goofball clients innocent. And of course, it’s all total insanity, so you have to play by totally insane rules.” So it’s realistic, I guess . . . . Video preview at the link.

STATEWIDE – Moose hunting season started on Monday, there are some new changes.
The first, there are a few areas east of Bangor added to the September hunt.
Also, downeast district 27 and 28 are now reciprocals so anybody who has a permit in either of those zones can hunt that entire area.
Experts say this moose season should be a good one.
“Seems to be a little bit of an up-tick in the moose population far north where this hunting season is primarily, and so that’s good news for moose hunters this year,”Maine moose biologist Lee Kantar said.
Kantar says if any moose hunters need a refresher on the rules and regulations they can visit maine.gov/ifw for more information.

Tesco has pulled the plug on its multi-million pound development in the town.
The proposed Milton Creek site is one of more than 100 new stores across the country which have been scrapped by the supermarket giant.
Plans to build a bridge so pedestrians could walk from the High Street to a new Tesco Extra, as well as an extension to The Forum shopping centre towards the railway line, have also been withdrawn.
The announcement comes after the chain announced yesterday it had suffered its biggest-ever fall in profits.
As a result it says it now plans to sell its Fresh & Easy chain in the US and will focus on revamping existing shops, opening up convenience stores and improving its internet business.
Progress on the Sittingbourne plans had been on hold due to the Highways Agency raising concerns about traffic problems created by the new development at the Key Street roundabout.
John Timothy, regional corporate affairs spokesman, said the changes in customer shopping habits, downturn in the economy and failure to secure planning consent meant it was no longer viable.
He said: “Having spent many years trying to bring this forward, we are disappointed that we have not been able to follow through with our proposals.
“We will actively explore alternative uses for the site and will be working with Swale council to consider how best this land can be put to use.
"In the meantime, we remain committed to serving our customers through our Metro store in The Forum.”

Acrobat Eddie Marsh is in the army now. His first act is to become friendly with Kathryn Jones, the colonel's pretty daughter. Their romance hits a few snags, including disapproval from her father. Eddie's also plagued by fear of having an accident during his family's trapeze act in the army variety show, which also features a gallery of MGM stars. Written by
Daniel Bubbeo <email@example.com>
Put out as a morale-booster/propaganda movie the whole romance story was designed for two purposes: first, to show, through Eddie Marsh (Gene Kelly), that everyone had to cooperate and work together for the war effort and, second, to provide a framework for cameo performances by many of the studio stars. These performances were either lifted from existing, but not released films, or were done in the studio and spliced into the "camp show". This is especially obvious during the "Honeysuckle Rose" segment performed by Lena Horne. See more »
Thousands Cheer. Rah! Rah! For World War 11 Effort ***
Predictable World War 11 yarn where Gene Kelly falls for Katherine Grayson. He is not too thrilled with the army and her father is his commander.
The movie is greatly patriotic which of course was needed during the war years.
Grayson's mom is played by Mary Astor who left her father years before because of his devotion to duty. Naturally, Grayson would like to see them reconcile.
The second part of the film deals with a cavalcade of MGM stars putting on a show for the troops. The singing is good but the sketches with Frank Morgan, Ann Sothern, Donna Reed, and Marsha Hunt are ridiculous.
Of course, the film resolves itself with Kelly going off to war and Grayson singing as beautifully as ever.

Learning from An Experiment
I’ve many drawings of groups of people I’d like to work up into paintings or prints but have been having trouble getting started. Composing pictures of a group is a new and tricky territory, especially when you’re personally interested in telling a story or conveying a social hierarchy or relationships between characters. I sulked over some of my efforts, before remembering that I can’t be the only person to have been troubled by this before. I remembered the wise words of the Gentle Author, who after feeding me and watering me on a bleak day, accompanied by the restorative power of a black cat on my lap, advised: ‘ you must study and learn from the best, only the best, of your field’. So on my occasional civilised Friday evenings sketching sessions at the National Gallery I’ve been on the look out for advice from some of the masters. This painting An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump by Joseph Wright of Derby (1756) never fails to astonish me and every visitor that steps into room 34. It tells the story of a scientist demonstrating a vacuum to a family, with members of all ages gathered round. In basic terms, the fate of the cockatoo (presumably the family’s pet, its cage open to the right) echoes the cycle of life around the table, from innocent children, an excited boy, young lovers, a steady father, to an old man contemplating his own mortality. We have joined the family at a pivotal moment.
I am constantly bored by many modern painters that work from photographs slavishly. Looking at this painting reminds me that something beyond realism, something richer, can be achieved through observation and careful study that can never be captured by a lens in a single instant. Wright’s skill is much more than his technical ability. The true realism in this painting is not just the Caravaggio-like play of light and shadow, skin textures, fabrics or details. Rather, it is the relationship between its characters. I tried to tease it out by sketching the painting.
There is an enormous storm of tension and energy in the room. Virtually every figure is directed towards the bird, yet all are different in their poise and expression. The light from a single flame, hidden behind a glass, ties the family together. If you were to follow each of their respective gazes, there would a tangled web across the room. Only the father and son to the left, and younger sister, are truly watching. The lovers are distracted with each other, the scientist looks out towards us, the viewer, inviting us into the claustrophobic room. The middle-aged man and girls form an intimate and protected ring, the oldest man is lost in thought contemplating a skull. The bird appears to cry in appeal to the audience.
These three are difficult to capture, mainly because of the elaborate arrangement of their limbs. The girls’ hands are especially delicate, the older sister’s draped around the younger’s neck, and the younger’s in return gripping the elder’s sash. The elder’s left arm protects not only her face, but her entire body, from the event. I like that the older man’s body can be seen virtually all the way around the two of them like a protective cocoon. The girls are not unlike my sister and I, I tend to be more emotional about things but I’m fairly sure Eleanor would be brave, if not stubborn enough, to watch the whole thing through.
These two are exquisite. Newly engaged, they only have eyes for each other. I love their shared knowing look. Her black lace choker shows of her milky white neck, it seems a sensual choice of colour against the conservative pale blue. His right hand is hidden, I like to think it is folded under the left and tucked away, perhaps reaching for her hand, out of view. These two sitters married and were later painted by Wright in 1770, here are Mr and Mrs Thomas Coltman below.
There is so much more that could be said about the Experiment and Mr Wright but I’ll leave that to the art historians. But for now I’ve much to muse on and many ideas to try out for myself.

Some kind of historic area in Phoenix. I guess it's original, but it's still very out of place, since Phoenix didn't exactly spring up in Victorian period the way San Francisco did. Take my word, this makes no sense out here.
Sometimes I feel like every store needs this. I have found myself often unable to ask for directions in large cities (New York, London, et al.) because I don't speak, y'know, every language on Earth.
Obviously, this is a remark on the massive Spanish-speaking population in SoCal. But it's odd because this is an otherwise stodgy eyewear shop. Where do they get off with cheeky social commentary?
I'm in LA now, and figuring out how to get places. I've already underestimated the massive scale of the city and how spread out it is. I've looked up how to travel to certain faraway neighbourhoods and it seems downright absurd that I would take two buses and a train to get from A to B. Maybe it's true, i do need a car.
The final day in Chicago, I find myself, as I often do, roaming the streets of a foreign city with little goal or intention, save to photograph the geometric randomness observed in the unity of sun and stone and glass. Chicago is suitable for such a charge.

Setting a Stone with Cold Connections
In the jewelry world the term cold connections usually describes mechanical joining techniques that are used to fasten together parts that cannot be soldered. In many cases, cold connections fall into a "layer-this-onto-that" approach. Cold connections are more than a roster of techniques - they can trigger new ways to think about design. By combining function, engineering, and aesthetics, cold connections lead us to fresh ideas. The pendant described here has only four parts but it uses three kinds of cold connections.
3 Minute Read
In the jewelry world the term cold connections usually describes mechanical joining techniques that are used to fasten together parts that cannot be soldered (i.e., using a "hot" connection). The leaders of the pack are probably rivets, followed by tabs, screws, and knots. It's worth noting that prongs and bezels also belong in the cold connection category.
In many cases, cold connections fall into a "layer-this-onto-that" approach. Drill matching holes in a piece of wood and a brass sheet, then clamp the two parts together with a rivet. There is nothing wrong with that approach but it misses the real importance of mechanical connections. Cold connections are more than a roster of techniques - they can trigger new ways to think about design. By combining function, engineering, and aesthetics, cold connections lead us to fresh ideas. The pendant described here has only four parts (a stone, a brass backing, and two brackets), but it uses three kinds of cold connections.
What you will need:
- Sawframe and blades
- Steel block
- Pumice or Scotch-Brite®
- Chain-nose pliers
- Small drill bit
- Needle files
- Sterling and brass sheet, 20 gauge
- Patina solution (commercial or homemade)
First, find a beach stone exactly like the one shown here. Obviously, I'm kidding. Throughout the project, pay more attention to the concept than the particular shapes I'm using. You might use a pottery shard or a marble - the whole idea is to let the materials influence the design.
Identify two axes on the stone and mark them with either a pencil or with a couple strips of tape as I did here. This helps you keep track of orientation as you fit and refit parts. Note that I marked the top (A).
Make a pattern for the brackets with thick paper (like a file folder). Sight down over the stone and trace the outline onto the paper. Draw a box around the hole to make the outer edge of the bracket. Repeat for each axis, then cut out the shape with scissors. Test the opening against the stone and trim as needed to make a good fit. Mark a center line along the bottom edge of both pieces, one from the top down and the other from the bottom up. These two slots will be the same size as the thickness of the sheet.
Apply a piece of sticky-backed label paper onto a sheet of sterling and trace the patterns with a sharp pencil or fine-tipped pen. Saw out the two bracket pieces and smooth the edges with a fine needle file. Polish to the finish that best complements the piece.
Press the two bracket parts together in the form of an X. If you've cut accurately (and I know you have), the parts will snap tight. This is the first cold connection.
Draw, then saw out from brass sheet, the piece you want for the back. In my example I've made a rectangle that will allow the stone to sit near the top. Set the bracket unit in place and mark the locations of the legs. Drill and saw one, then set the bracket in position to test the next hole. Repeat, checking each hole as you go. It's a lot easier to redraw your marks than to repair a hole in the wrong place.
I chose to make a shallow box by bending up the edges of the brass sheet. My plan is to patina the surface with a crusty green color that will complement the dark stone. This design makes the most of cold connections because it would be difficult to patina the brass after the stone setting was soldered in place.
File the edges to remove the sawing marks, clean the metal with Scotch-Brite®, then set the brass sheet over a steel block. Strike at an angle with a rawhide mallet to bend the walls up.
Clean again with pumice or Scotch-Brite®, then finish. In this example I used green patina solution, but any patina can be used.
Give the bracket a final polish, then slide the legs through the brass sheet.
On the back, splay the legs in two directions to lock the bracket into place.
If you're counting, that's cold connection number two.
To set the pebble, bend a couple arms of the bracket outward so you can slide the stone into position. Bend the tip of each bracket arm back to its original position. Cold connection number three.
Bend a loop at the top and attach a cord.

On April 4, 2015, Walter Scott of South Carolina was stopped by a North Charleston police officer for a burned out blinker on his car. It was Saturday morning. Scott had no prior criminal history and was unarmed. At some point Scott exited his vehicle and according to the police officer Scott reached for the officer’s Taser. The officer drew his weapon and fired multiple shots, killing Walter Scott. The officer said he feared for his life and was justified in using deadly force.
That’s the way things stood until three days later when a video tape by an anonymous witness surfaced at the New York Times and other media outlets. The video clearly shows Scott running away and the officer calmly taking aim and firing multiple shots into Scott’s back. The officer then handcuffed Scott, ran back to where the office had fired his gun, picked up an object and then dropped it beside Scott’s body. The video was turned over to investigators and Officer Michael Thomas Slager was charged with first-degree murder for the shooting death of Walter Scott. Michael Slager is white. Walter Scott is black. This is a nightmare story that is all too common.
Between May 1, 2013 and April 4th, 2015 there were 2,178 citizens killed by police officers in the United States according to an extensive search of public news accounts. These media accounts include police homicides, justified or otherwise, murder/suicides involving police officers and their family, DWI accidents involving officers under the influence of alcohol or drugs, police assisted suicides of mentally ill persons and other such catagories. A more detailed analysis of this database
is pending and will be published here when completed. But there are a few quick facts off the top that you should know.
In 23 months news accounts reported 2,178 civilian fatality incidents at the hands of the police. That means there are about 94 per month or around 3 police homicides per day. Fatalities are almost entirely men, 2,044, with only 135 woman killed and 6 whose gender was undisclosed.
The identities of 565 victims were undisclosed to the media. The average age of the known fatality victims is 36.9 years. Latino’s make up 18.7% of the general population and were 17% of the fatality victims during the past 23 months. Whites make up 77% of the population but only 48.1% of the victims. African-Americans make up just 13.2% of the general population but 492 of the victims of police related fatalities, or 30.5% of the total. If there is a perception in the Black community that they are disproportionally targeted by police, these facts only confirm their fears.
The vast majority of law enforcement officers are good, law abiding men and woman who put themselves on the line to protect us. So, it may seem impossible that any officers could wantonly direct deadly force towards otherwise law abiding citizens of color without legal justification. The Scott video is graphic evidence that it does happen. You can see for yourself here, but a warning: video is disturbing.
A full and fair discussion of racism, the law and the American Justice system is overdue. The urgency is now. People are dying.
We want our rights, and we don’t care how…we want a revolution, now. (Marat Sade)

LG Electronics Inc. reported a lower-than-expected 48.5 percent drop in quarterly net profit and cut its 2005 sales target, but analysts saw its key mobile phone business driving a recovery in earnings. Third-quarter earnings were hit by squeezed profit margins on mobile phones, a weaker performance in its flat-screen venture and costs linked to spinning off its telecom equipment unit to form a joint venture with Canada's Nortel Networks Corp.
Analysts said the South Korean firm's mobile phone division, which accounted for 43 percent of revenue in the third quarter, should improve on strong demand for high-end phones from clients including Verizon Communications Inc.
"Considering new handset line-ups expected in the coming months, the positive trend for the handset business is expected to continue into the fourth quarter," said Seo Jung-ho, a fund manager at Daehan Investment Trust Management.
LG said it expected strong phone sales in the fourth quarter, but forecast slower sales in its display division due to falling prices of some products and transfers of its production bases overseas. It cut its forecast for total 2005 sales to between 23.6 trillion to 23.8 trillion won (approx. U.S. $22.5 billion to approx. $22.7 billion), down from 28 trillion to 30 trillion won (approx. $26.6 billion to approx. $28.5 billion) it projected in January.
LG, also the world's top producer of air conditioners, earned 156.9 billion won (approx. $149.7 million) in net profit for the quarter ended Sept. 30, falling short of analysts' forecasts of a 220 billion won (approx. $209.2 million) profit. That compared with a profit of 304.4 billion won (approx. $290 million) a year before. The net profit rose 4.2 percent from the previous quarter's 150.6 billion won (approx. $143.2 million).
Its results were hurt by a goodwill write-off worth 89 billion won (approx. $84.7 million) after LG spun off its low-margin telecom equipment business. However, operating profit nearly doubled from the second quarter to 279.9 billion won (approx. $266.2 million) on record mobile phone sales. Third-quarter sales were 6.02 trillion won (approx. $5.72 billion), below analyst estimates of 6.04 trillion won (approx. $5.74 billion) and 6.11 trillion won (approx. $5.8 billion) a year ago.

I’ve talked before about how it is important to have a plan, and have a process to go with that plan.

What determines if you are burned out? By definition, burn out is physical or mental collapse caused by overwork or stress. (Unless you are Mike Davenport - here - LOL)

WHO Issues New Scientific Brief Outlining Transmission Modes Of SARS-CoV-2, Acknowledges Possibility Of Spread Through Aerosolized Droplets, From Asymptomatic People
NPR: WHO: Aerosolized Particles Unlikely To Be Significant Source Of COVID-19 Transmission
“The World Health Organization has issued a new scientific brief that summarizes what’s known about the different ways the coronavirus can transmit. The 10-page brief, posted Thursday, considers all the ways researchers think the coronavirus may be able to spread: through close contact with droplets expelled when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks or breathes; through the expulsion of small microdroplets that have the potential to spread over greater distances; and through contaminated surfaces. The report also looks at the possibilities for the virus to be transmitted from mother to child, from animals to humans, and through contact with urine, feces, and blood…” (Huang, 7/9).

Originally from Dunedin in New Zealand now based in Berlin – Germany Freddy Fudd Pucker is the dark-folk musician Tom Young.
Freddy Fudd Pucker
Hurtling from the speakers like a scalded cat Freddy Fudd Pucker delivers music of momentum. A scathing lyric pulls no punches as it casts a wary eye on the world around, whilst the instrumentation is of equal consideration. Combining string strumming that can only but lead to RSI, along with toe-tapping percussion, whilst adding distorted samples and loops gives the out-put its intrigue.
Although predominately played at breakneck speed, Freddy Fudd Pucker provides compositions of developing melodies and when slower tracks appear, these touches are highlighted.
It is of little surprise that Freddy Fudd Pucker is a constant feature on the road in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, where the music is best suited because of the instant connectivity with the audience. That isn’t to say this can’t be enjoyed at home, but it works best with a group as despite the visceral nature, the listener can’t help but get up on their feet and want to join in with a mass dance and party the night away.
Despite the continual live performances Freddy Fudd Pucker does still manage to find time for recording and a new LP is scheduled for release later this year. From the forthcoming album is Blood Diamond Mind, that surfaced a few hours ago.

Sunken Seas the ambient drone outfit from Wellington in New Zealand is Ryan Harte (Vocals / Bass), Luke Kavanagh (Guitar / Backing Vocals), Jack Hooker (Guitar) and Samuel Lovrich-Fitzpatrick (Drums).
Sunken Seas have a couple of releases behind them and deliver music of the moment with a sawwing buzz of guitar reverb. Whilst there is a differential between their debut LP Null Hour and the follow-up EP Cataclysm there is a thread to follow as the droning mesmerics of the material wafts around the room in a flux of merging sounds. The music bubbles with societal discontent and is an imagery of change. The oppressive industrialisation sears its way into the head allowing the listener to contemplate the visuals that are created. Turn down the lights, turn up the volume and let yourself drift inside the sound that is Sunken Seas.
Somehow appositely, given the melting pot of fracture and coalescence that is the signature sound of Sunken Seas, from the various notes I have found it appears the band emerged from Tiddabades and have recently undergone another line-up change since their latest release, so it will be interesting to hear how the formulation of the new line-up will sound in future recordings.
Cataclysm – EP – Sunken Seas is available on iTunes*

Graveyard Love is the alt-electro vehicle for Hamish Black from Auckland in New Zealand to deliver his perspective of the angsts and travails of life.
The material encapsulates the imagery Graveyard Love is seeking to excoriate. Blending electro-pop and industrial distortion there is a bleak isolation to the sounds, whilst simultaneously the listener is given the sense of lancing a festering wound as the extrapolation of the music whilst bleak has an under-current of hope, which for its very opaqueness shines brightly in the minds-eye.
Given my regular comments that a song should be over in three minutes, it may come as a surprise that even getting towards four minutes on the longer tracks I just wish they were longer, as like a good scratch, there is a need to have just one more go and so it is with the music which burrows away into the head.
Whilst there is some evidence of samples on some tracks it is in the main fresh and well written original music which Graveyard Love bends to creative the brooding atmospherics.
Another fine introduction through Monkey Records.

The Wyld a raprock trio based in Mount Eden in New Zealand is Joe Pascoe (Guitar / producer), Mo Kheir (vocals) and Brandon Black (vocals / production).
I am wreathed in smiles as I find another cohesive rap / hip hop undercurrent which has found space to grow and the grin gets even wider when I find it emerges from New Zealand. The trio filter the dross to, deliver music which flows with invective and musical competence to leave a clear fluidity of sounds that buffer the head from side to side in a valedictory salute.
I oft bemoan the world of want to be ‘ghetto’ music with its perpetual racism and misogyny positing there is a legitimate ground on which to play and whilst I was able to find in My Peoples a cousin relationship , I find a direct progeny with The Wyld, so it is with some excitement that I take this opportunity to introduce a band who have a handle on the realities of the 21st Century and choose to neither portray themselves as victims or protagonists and for that very fact are the more powerful and relevant.
The grained guitar enables the material to gather relevance and barbed wire wrist cuffs whilst the electro structures are Meccano kits of spanners and bolts, holding it all in to shape as the vocals deliver viper flicks.
A new EP – Abstract – is set for imminent release and my advice is – get there as soon as possible – for the best of hip hop – The USA has been superseded by New Zealand.

We live in a world driven by technology. Let’s face it we all love our gadgets and some more than others.
However, we are moving into an interesting time and place where technology and computers are giving new life and new joy to pre-existing technology.
As the industrial revolution seems to continue onwards the so-called fourth industrial revolution is changing the world around us and chips and bytes are working close with gears and cogs. All around us clever, sometimes even pointless innovation is taking place. Things we need solutions for are becoming a reality and things we never even knew were needed are being invented to perform tasks we never knew we had to do.
High Tech Aircon
Let’s face it, the world is in love with aircon and climate control systems. In many ways, these heating and cooling systems haven’t changed in decades and maybe never will. A series of flaps, vents and control valves allow us to cool a building or room down or heat it up to the ideal ambient temperature. Technology is helping improve on this and not just by switching it off and on.
Tech today can define the ideal temperature of a room for optimal human performance or ensure air cooling or heating is optimally performed. Detecting is a room is empty or full, for example can determine the level of hearing or cool a climate control system should produce. Old school technology has given a high-tech performance boost.
No more cold showers
There is nothing worse fist thing in the morning than having to brace for that first blast of cold water from the shower. To add to this, you need to find that ideal setting for the perfect shower and you just can’t seem to get it right.
Thank goodness for clever technology because this is now a thing of the past. The shower itself has hardly changed in decades, sure there are power showers and different water-saving showerheads but the cold-water syndrome has always been there. Today digital showers are all the rage and these clever systems can warm up the shower before you enter and set the shower to the perfect temperature for your early morning washdown.
The self-park car
Parking up a car park and then having to walk to your door or the entrance of a building is a modern-day pain for many people. Well, this is no longer the case (or soon will not be) as the self-park car is here. This is an amazing concept that allows you to drop yourself off at the entrance to your building and then at the click of a remote send your car off you go and park. Then once you are done in the building simply click the remote or tap your phone again and your car is waiting for you outside and the aircon or heater have also been set perfectly for you.
Life is becoming so much easier today and computers maybe won’t take over the world but they can sure make a difference in the way we do things

Hall, 32, appeared in 20 games for the Bolts this season, scoring 0G-4A-4PTS while averaging over 10 minutes per game.
He also had a brief stint with the ‘Canes (after Tampa put him on waivers the first time), failing to register a point in six games.
Hall was traded back to the Lightning on Tuesday (Carolina got Marc-Andre Bergeron in exchange), and promptly put on waivers. Again.
In case you’re curious about Hall’s role/style of play, he was sitting second among all Tampa Bay forwards in shortanded time on ice per game (2:11) and ranked fifth among all forwards in hits prior to getting moved.
He’s also fairly handy in the faceoff circle, winning 56.4 percent of his draws.
As for Winnipeg, they got former 20-goal scorer Santorelli, who has failed to make much of an impact after his 41-point outburst two seasons ago.
The 27-year-old had played in 24 games for the Panthers this season, scoring 2G-1A-3PTS while averaging 11:06 TOI per game.
Santorelli was actually placed on waivers yesterday but still played in Florida’s 3-2 shootout win over Tampa Bay, playing over 13 minutes while recording one shot on goal.
