St. Patrick's Day is a time of great celebration and Irish cheer, a sentiment perfectly embodied in an AICP Award-winning spec spot for Murphy's beer with transformational postproduction led by Shade Founder and VFX Director Bryan Godwin.
Watch as a CG miracle in transforms a dark-skinned bar patron into a full-blooded, pale Irishman over the course of drinking his brew. After the bartender serves a frothy Murphy's to our hero protagonist, he slowly becomes a little more Irish with each swig: he takes one drink, his skin noticeably lightens; the barkeep passes, the customer's hairline recedes; he takes another drink, his sideburns lengthen; a third drink, his moustache spirals into a curlicue shape; the bartender passes again, the man's face is bloated.
Finally, the fully transformed beer lover downs the last of his beverage and stumbles off his barstool and into the night. In order to achieve the pitch-perfect comedic effect, the facial hair transformation had to be completed not only on the original actor, but also on the man he transforms into, who was clean-shaven in the original cut

Food preservation is an important aspect of emergency preparedness. If you have a garden or simply enjoy the cost benefits of buying fresh foods in bulk, knowing how to preserve foods – via canning and pickling methods – is an important step in being environmentally conscious and not wasteful.
Plenty of foods are easily canned, ranging from homemade jams, jellies, fruit preserves, pickled asparagus, beets, carrots, apples, green beans, corn, sauces, relish, pickles and even fish!
The guides offered by Ultimate Survival Skills take the daunting complexity and intimidation out of canning.
Many questions will be answered, including:
• What is the best method for canning?
• Is using the boiling water canning method safe?
• What should I know about preserving fruit?
• What are the hazards of canning bread?
• What should I know about canning pumpkin butter?
• How can I cure fish?
• Can I make freezer jam?
• What vegetables are best to pickle?
• How can I preserve tomatoes?
• What are the basics of learning to use a pressure cooker?
And many more!
These valuable resources, ranging from learning how to can in boiling water will teach you how to safely can foods and prevent food-bourne illness, caused by botulism and other unsafe canning practices.
Not only do homemade jams, jellies, fruit spreads, preserves and lemon curds make excellent toppings for homemade breads and pastries, but also they are also excellent gifts to give friends and family!
While cured fish may not sound like the most appetizing treat, this high-protein food is excellent for emergencies and survivalists. Easily stored in a pantry, having a readily available supply of meat that does not rely on conventional methods of energy for long-term storage is exceptionally valuable.

Republican Congress won a huge victory with the tax reform bill. Once signed by Trump, it will bring huge relief to millions of taxpayers. But it's only the beginning.
This is a sign that republicans in Congress can get the job done. Obstructionist democrats cannot stop them from aiding the President. His vow to make America great again is coming true.
There is still more work to be done. America faces a deficit. We continue to spend billions on wasteful programs. The good news is, republicans are making that priority number one.
From The Hill:
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Wednesday said House Republicans will aim to cut spending on Medicare, Medicaid and welfare programs next year as a way to trim the federal deficit.
"We're going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit," Ryan said during an interview on Ross Kaminsky's talk radio show.
Health-care entitlements such as Medicare and Medicaid "are the big drivers of debt," Ryan said, "so we spend more time on the health-care entitlements, because that's really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking."
Ryan said he's been speaking privately with President Trump, who is beginning to warm to the idea of slowing the spending growth in entitlements.
"I think the president is understanding choice and competition works everywhere, especially in Medicare," Ryan said.
House and Senate Republicans are currently working on their plans for tax reform, which are estimated to add more than $1 trillion to the deficit. Democrats have voiced concerns that the legislation could lead to cuts to the social safety net.
It's time to cut back on entitlement programs. As President Trump wins more jobs back, there is less need for them. The goal has always been to put Americans back to work. They need to cut back handouts that slow that progress.
The Hill claims Trump promised not to cut these programs. But he only promised to protect Social Security. Many Americans feel they paid into his program and deserve those checks, even though it is a major source of debt. Medicare and Medicaid aren't exactly the same.
All of these programs need to be reformed. Perhaps most of all Welfare, SNAP, and other programs that prevent able-bodied Americans from working.
With the momentum of the tax bill, republicans are poised to do amazing things in the coming year. We will be watching.

I purchased the AMH voile above yesterday from Whipstitch in Midtown Atlanta. I'm going to make version A without the cuffs and maybe scoop the neckline a little more. I'm taking Serger 101 at Whipstitch this month! I'm very excited about finally learning to work this crazy machine, I think it will make my sewing so much easier and faster.
I bought the red twill from fabric.com and it should be arriving in a few days (their warehouse is like 15 miles from me, so I get my orders pretty quickly) and I've had the beignet pattern for a while. I just realized that I've already made 2 garments from each of these patterns. I made 2 of version E of the New Look pattern this summer, one beignet last spring and one this summer.
I may have been inspired by the reds and blues on the Colette Patterns packaging 🙂 It so pretty and the colors complement each other so well.

In a paper describing the assembly of clathrin-coated vesicles, authors Schmid and Ford etal, concisely define the term matricity as "the interaction of a matrix with its environment".(1) In the title of the current essay, I am using the term to connect the concept of volume transmission, introduced in the previous post, with the concept which is the subject of this post, known variously as transitional space, potential space, and the intermediate area.
Introduction – Cut-up technique
At an historical exhibit of William S. Burroughs "the only American writer who may be conceivably possessed by genius"(2), I was surprised to learn that Burroughs had studied medicine in Vienna, and I was fascinated to discover his grandfather's Burroughs Corporation, due to my own interest in mechanical calculators (see "The mechanization of logic", in The Laws of Thought). As a respectful tribute to Burroughs and Bowie, the current and recent essays are products of Cut-up technique.
William S. Burroughs – circa 1959
Synaptic pruning
Beginning in the earliest embryonic stage and lasting until approximately 2 years of age, new neurons and synapses are formed at an amazing rate, at times reaching 40,000 new synapses formed per second. By the end of this process individuals are left with far more neurons and synapses than are functionally needed or preferred. Synaptic pruning is the process by which these extra synapses are eliminated, thereby increasing the efficiency of the neural network. The process continues until approximately 10 years of age, by which time nearly 50% of the synapses present at 2 years of age have been eliminated. The pattern and timeline that pruning follows varies based upon brain region, but generally flows from the back to the front of the brain. Synaptic pruning is not random. Rather, connections that have been frequently used and thus strengthened through sensory and cognitive input as well as motor and cognitive outputs are spared. Those connections that have been weakly reinforced and are no longer functional, or those that are redundant with connections of adequate strength are 'pruned' away.(2)
From this we might allow the assumption that the phase space of the child mind has twice the capacity of the adult mind, little wonder that children are so profoundly playful and creative. Interestingly, the schizophrenic mind may be the product of synaptic pruning gone wrong; randomly severing rather than selectively pruning connections. In the science-fiction scene pictured below, the character David Bowman is removing memories and their connections, from HAL's brain. HAL was already schizophrenic due to an internal program dichotomy, Bowman acts as pruning gone wrong.
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a… fraid."
– HAL 9000 – circa 2001
The metaMusketeer – 5th of three
Metaphorically, three musketeers were introduced in the previous post, represented as Fluid intelligence, Insight, and Flow. The fourth, Charles Ogier de Batz de Castelmore, Comte d'Artagnan, is represented by Divergent thinking (see "Another three musketeers", in Refraction of the State of Nature). Currently, we meet their synergistic entity, the fifth musketeer, represented by Transitional space.
Generally, epistemology draws a line between subject and object. In context of interpersonal perception and communication, this model is too simple. What exists between subject and object is in some sense a zone and in some sense a permeable boundary with constant traffic both ways, and with objects often multiply represented. In addition to the inner world and external reality, "there is the third part of the life of a human being, a part that we cannot ignore, an intermediate area of experiencing, to which inner reality and external life both contribute. It is an area which is not challenged, because no claim is made on its behalf except that it shall exist as a resting-place for the individual engaged in the perpetual human task of keeping inner and outer reality separate yet inter-related."(4a)
It is important that we consider an area or space. It is not the sharp boundary-maintenance referred to as reality-testing. It is intermediate, an "illusion, which is allowed to the infant, and which in adult life is inherent in art and religion. Infants and children and adults take external reality in, as clothing for their dreams, and they project themselves into external objects and people and enrich external reality by their imaginative perceptions. More than the inner world, external reality, and the commerce between them, "we really do find a third area, an area of living which is derived from, and corresponds to the infant's transitional phenomena."(4b)
Donald Winnicott – circa 1970
"Lines drawn between the subjective, the transitional, and the objective, should be dotted, so as to indicate their permeability, rather like a cell membrane, across which all sorts of metabolites selectively move back and forth." Here Winnicott may as well be describing volume transmission (see "A messy workspace", in Refraction of the State of Nature)
The transitional object is decathected, "it becomes not so much forgotten, as relegated to limbo. It does not go inside nor does the feeling about it necessarily undergo repression. It is not forgotten and it is not mourned. It loses meaning, and this is because the transitional phenomena have become diffused, have become spread out over the whole intermediate territory between inner psychic reality (subjective reality) and the external world (objective reality), perceived as the whole cultural field – the space of play, creative symbolism and culture."(4c)
The human experience is essentially concerned with the problem of relationship between what is objectively perceived and what is subjectively conceived. An intermediate area is allowed to the infant between absolute subjectivity (primary creativity) and speculative objectivity (objective perception), based upon reality-testing. Transitional phenomena represent the use of illusion, without which there is no meaning in the relationship between objects and the perception that they are external to the mind.(4d)
Left: "The mother's adaptation to the infant's need for feeding (via the breast) gives the infant the illusion that there is an external reality that corresponds to the infant's own capacity to create."
Right: "Of the transitional object it can be said that it is a matter of agreement between us and the baby that we will never ask the question: 'Did you conceive of this or was it presented to you from without?' The important point is that no decision on this point is expected. The question is not to be formulated."(4e)
Winnicott proposes that illusion is an inherent and fundamental aspect of human minds and that no individual ever finally solves the matter, instead it resolves to become the transitional space, which is taken to be a compromised understanding of objective reality. He talks here of the child's weaning from the mother. Further, Winnicott suggests that a "theoretical understanding" of weaning, as the process of illusion-disillusionment, "may provide a theoretical solution". Interestingly though, by his own logic, the hypothesized theoretical solution must, by definition, inhabit the transitional space.(4f)
Theory of Illusion-Disillusionment
I completely agree with Winni in that full acceptance of reality never occurs, because no human being is free from the strain of attempting to relate his or her subjective and objective realities. The only form of relief from the strain, says Winnicott, is provided via an intermediate and unchallenged area of experience. The intermediate or transitional space is a continuum including the flow of play, addiction (fetish and/or substance), religious experience.
Reading this, I am reminded of the flow of work, of sxolí or skolí, and of intellectus and prima principia (see Intellectus Principiorum, in Nous Kairos).
If an adult insists upon our acceptance of the objectivity of her subjective phenomena, then we diagnose her as insane. Conversely, common experience between members of a group in art or religion or philosophy or science, is the result of unclaimed (non insistent) communication, and group acknowledgement of individual corresponding transitional spaces.
"Transitional objects and transitional phenomena belong to the realm of illusion which is at the basis of initiation of experience. This early stage in development is made possible by the mother's special capacity for making adaptation to the needs of her infant, thus allowing the infant the illusion that what the infant creates really exists. This intermediate area of experience, unchallenged in respect of its belonging to inner or external (shared) reality, constitutes the greater part of the infant's experience, and throughout life is retained in the intense experiencing that belongs to the arts and to religion and to imaginative living, and to creative scientific work."(5)
Electron phase space or nipple?
It would seem that humans can never wean from Winnie's transitional space, it is the zone of mind, the probabilistic phase space in which we envision complex systems self-organization and evolvution, it is the idea space in which creativity and madness and genius reside, it is the state of (human) nature. I shall guess that mathematics and geometry are transitional space in pure form, little wonder then that physics shows reality as fundamentally indeterminate.

Änglagård: Hybris
Tomas Jonson – mellotron, Hammond organ, solina, clavinet, pianet, korg mono poly, piano, church organ
Jonas Engdegård – electric guitars, nylon and steel acoustic guitars
Tord Lindman – vocals, electric guitars, nylon and steel acoustic guitars
Johan Högberg – bass, bass pedals, mellotron effects
Anna Holmgren – flute
Mattias Olsson – all percussion, and effect-flute
Okay, here is the long awaited (at least by me) Änglagård review.
To those deep into the progressive scene, Änglagård is legendary. For most others the response is… "Who?" So here is a bit of history. By the end of the '80s, prog seemed to be on its death bead. Genesis and Yes had gone pop, Rush was more "New Wave," King Crimson was missing in action, and Fish had just parted company with Marillion (who had been the standard bearers of prog since 1983). To many of us it seemed as if progressive rock might go the way of disco. Then at the dawn of the '90s, in far off Sweden, the Renaissance began.
In 1991 Keyboardist Pär Lindh formed the Swedish Art Rock Society, along with Anekdoten and Landberk, but none of them alone had the impact of Änglagård, and their 1992 debut album, "Hybris." The whole idea was to get back to the original concept of progressive rock (or art rock as I always heard it referred to back in the day), and specifically the symphonic style. Not only was Änglagård up to the challenge, they practically schooled the original masters in the process. Regardless of the historical significance, this album is just extremely good.
"Hybris" is a return to late '60s / early '70s instrumentation and styling, but with the energy and intensity of the times (think grunge). Technically these musicians are second to none, and the compositional skills are equally impressive. True symphonic rock was brought back in all of its glory, and given a new flavor. If the attempt had been made in Great Britain, or North America, it might not have sounded so fresh. This music is definitely Nordic. The fact that I can't understand the lyrics doesn't bother me in the least (though I am curious). It's just that good.
"Jordrök" opens with some beautiful grand piano, the likes of which haven't been heard since Tony Banks in his prime. It then goes into highly disciplined King Crimson dissonance. Then we are treated to gentle flute, and acoustic guitar, and then pipe organ. There is no one place to settle here. "Vandrigar i Vilsenhet" is pretty firmly in classic Genesis territory. "Apocalypse in 9/8" should definitely come to mind. The other pieces have some aspects of Camel and even Jethro Tull. However, there is no mistaking a signature sound, and it is pure Änglagård. So, there really is no point in making any further comparisons.
As I said, "Hybris" has been hailed as a masterpiece in prog circles for a long time now. After this, symphonic progressive rock got a fresh start. The main problem has been that Änglagård albums have been out of print. On the rare occasion someone wanted to part with it, you may have been lucky enough to find one on eBay for a nominal sum. I happened to land into a situation where I was essentially a music critic, and had other avenues to pursue. After many years of waiting, they have finally released a re-master of Hybris. Epilog (their second, and only other studio album) will follow soon. The copy I had wasn't bad, but the re-master sounds incredible. There is also a bonus track (I think that is mandatory now on all re-masters).
Whether you care about the significance of "Hybris ' or not, it is essential listening. This is some of the best, most challenging music ever recorded. Now that it is available again, get a copy. Knowing this enigmatic group, they could pull the plug once more.
H.T. Riekels
Here is a review submitted my my dear friend Ivan Melgar-Morey, from Progressive Archives
I remember having bought "Hybris" "LP" in the 90's (Very expensive), but as most arrogant and pompous Progressive Rock followers from the 70's (well, I'm the second generation, started listening Prog at the age of 12 in the late 70's) thought that the genre had died in 1978, so never gave the album a chance.
A few years ago, I went to a lecture about ÄNGLAGÅRD here in Lima-Perú, and had the chance to see a video recorded in Progfest 1 where they even played "The Musical Box", and was incredibly surprised, their music and sound was simply perfect, better than most 70's bands.
ÄNGLAGÅRD (Garden of Angels), has the peculiarity tat despite being from the 90's, they refused to use instruments that didn't existed in the 70's, I even heard they spent a lot of money in mellotrons. Plethoric of magnificent Keyboards and Mellotrons, is hard not to place ÄNGLAGÅRD CD's in the same section of the greatest bands of the 70's like GENESIS, YES or ELP.
Even when most people love "Hybris", many criticize their approach as derivative and "Retro Prog" (A tem I despise), that's absurd, they play outstanding music, with great skills, they don't clone any band, and from my perspective they are absolutely original, because nobody sounds as ÄNGLAGÅRD……………..What else can we ask?
It's clear that "Hybris" has influence from Yes, Genesis but specially from King Crimson and even from Focus, but ÄNGLAGÅRD took this influence and worked with it in their own unique way, avoiding to do simpler works as the Neo Prog Bands or cloning some great tracks. You can notice the influence of the mentioned bands but is almost impossible to affirm they are copying a determined song, they did their own original stuff, inspired in classic Prog' bands.
Jördrok (Earthsmoke) starts with an unbelievably beautiful piano section, totally dark and melancholic, but also haunting and scary, almost as announcing the Crimsonian explosion that will follow, precise flute touches, lots of Mellotron and Baroque Organ sections by the excellent Thomas Johnson (Who was born long after the invention of the Mellotron but plays it with great ability) complete this incredible opener, but I don't continue, because words only offend the perfection of the track.
"Vandringar I Vilsenhet" (Wanderings in Confusion) epic that starts with a soft flute followed by a dark organ reminiscent of Bach, again hard passages softened by the sweet flute of Anna Holmgren. This is the first song with lyrics in Swedish, which of course are impossible for me to understand, but who cares about lyrics and words when music talks so loud and clear, Tord Lindman's voice is delicate and acute but absolutely unique and appropriate for the music.
"Ifrån Klarhet Till Klarhet" (From Strength to Strength) starts with a circus tune, again followed by a shocking crimsonian section and Tord Lindman's voice, this time lower and less feminine than in "Vandringar I Vilsenhet". For the first time I can listen a passage clearly reminiscent of early Genesis with a flute that sounds almost as in Musical Box, great versatility of Anna Holmgren who has a style closer to This Van Leer than to Peter Gabriel, but easily adapts her style according to the needs of the song also must mention Johan Högberg who does a terrific job with his bass.
"Kung Bore" (King Winter) is the closer of the album, starts with an a acoustic guitar section followed by keyboards and the whole band using a style that I can hardly identify with any main ÄNGLAGÅRD influence, has a bit of Crimson, Focus, Yes and Gabriel Genesis but none of them specifically, and that my friends is what influence should be, only inspiration but not a simple and cheap copy. In this track Tord Lindman proves what a versatile vocalist he is, using different ranges, the whole band is again perfect and I won't try to describe all this track because it's an impossible task, I can only say is that it's less dark but more nostalgic than all the previous and almost perfect.
In my version of 2000 (almost sure), you can also listen "Gånglåt från Knapptibble" (Marching tune from Knapptibble) as bonus track, and it's a paradox, most King Crimson sounds as Sanskrit to me due to their extreme complexity, and this song is at least as complex as any "Lark's Tongues in Aspic" track, but I love it, maybe because despite the absolutely ultra elaborate complexity, there's some sort of warmth strange for a technical Swedish band.
Until a few months ago I could only say try to get a cheap old copy at E-Bay or ask a friend to lend you one because it doesn't exist anymore, but today you can find a magnificent remastered copy…………………….BUY IT…..Would be a crime not to do it.

DAY 019: Musical cells
September 9, 2008 | Tuesday
CHARLES HOOD HAS got a stay of execution. The man and I have something in common: legal representation. His case helps my case. He will now be moved away soon. He is now in a cell with a camera mounted in it because he has come close to his execution date. His stay has been expected (the judge and district attorney were sleeping with each other during his trial), but one facing an actual date of execution cannot help getting anxious, I think.
Maverick is also being moved out and William Murray (Scooter) is being moved in next to me. Scooter is scheduled to be executed on the 17th, in only a week's time. Musical cells. I'm glad for Charles and have now seen firsthand my attorney's dedication. He pulled this man from the execution chamber's eager welcome. Rare is the attorney who accomplishes that, and I'm fortunate that he's on my side. Yes, I do believe that God watches over me. Thank God for Richard Ellis and Tina Church*.

Cornel Lucas
16 November 2012
The Times
Photographer at Pinewood Studios who after some tips from Marlene Dietrich became expert in capturing the glamour of film stars
The only portrait photographer to be honoured with a Bafta for services to the film industry (in 1998), Cornel Lucas was the in-house photographer for the Rank Organisation during the 1950s when that company came closest to emulating the star-burnishing practices of a Hollywood studio.
Like George Hurrell in Hollywood, Lucas was prized for his ability to convey the glamour and beauty of his subjects. When he started out he would photograph his subjects hurriedly on set. "Those film stills were very difficult," he said. "The actor and actress would be playing their hearts out and then it would all go cold and the poor photographer would have to run in with a plate camera and say, 'Can I have a still, please?' You were Cinderella and your only hope was to get friendly with the stars."
Cornelius Lucas was born in Highbury, North London, in 1920. He started taking photos with a Kodak Box Brownie given to him by his mother, developing and printing in the bathroom at home. He attended elementary school until 14, thereafter studying photography at polytechnics in Norwell and Regent Street while working as a laboratory assistant. His brother, who worked for a film library, once drove him over to Twickenham Studios and the boy wandered around the sets, spotted Gloria Swanson and Anthony Asquith, the director, and was "enraptured". At 15 he got a job at George Hunter's Labs, off Tottenham Court Road.
When war broke out, he applied for fighter pilot training in the RAF. He was turned down for being under age but was told that he could join the experimental photography branch at Farnborough School of Photography.
He was familiar with the work of Hurrell in Hollywood, but perhaps the greatest influence on him was Cecil Beaton. He wrote to Beaton and was invited to tea in Pelham Crescent where a white-gloved butler showed him into the drawing-room. Beaton showed him some retouched negatives of his portraits "I asked him, 'Do you think I should make photography my career, Mr Beaton?' He replied: 'It's overcrowded. I wouldn't.' When I went out into the fog, in the flicker of the gas-lamps in the street, I thought, 'Sod it! I'm going to make this my career.' "
After the war he was taken on at Denham Studios and his big break came when he took some portraits of Marlene Dietrich in 1948. Dietrich was well known for being extremely demanding and controlling when it came to her photographic image, and the 25-year-old Lucas did well to accommodate her. "She was adamant that her key light had to be in a certain position. She told me she had discovered the advantages of this '12 o'clock light' one day in Berlin after a show when she slipped out to a photo machine to get a passport photo. She could actually tell from the heat whether the light was right for her. She was a perfect technician."
The following day she examined the rough proofs through a magnifying glass, selecting five and marking them with Xs for removal and Os for retouching.
Dietrich and her American director liked the pictures and made their approval known. About nine months later, Lucas was given a long-term contract by Rank to photograph its artists.
His studio included a fountain, a dressing room for his subjects, a team of assistants to do hair and make-up, an electrician and a couple of props men ("my thieves one and two").
Partly because he hated being on the other side of the lens, Lucas showed great sympathy, even compassion, for his subjects, sometimes even resorting to mild deception. For example, Kay Kendall, the wife of Rex Harrison, fretted about sitting for him because she didn't like the way her nose appeared in photographs. "I told her my camera had attachments for distortion on the lens, and she believed me."
Once the plates had been taken the negatives were retouched by pencil, using various softnesses of leads, on the emulsion side of the plate. "We were the plastic surgeons of our day because we made women look ten years younger than they were," Lucas said.
His other female subjects included Brigitte Bardot, Jean Simmons, Joan Collins, Anouk Aimée, Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Claudia Cardinale and Virginia McKenna.
He also photographed the leading British matinée idols of the 1950s, such as Trevor Howard, Jack Hawkins, Dirk Bogarde, and Stanley Baxter, as well as Hollywood actors and directors filming at Pinewood, such as Gregory Peck and Rod Steiger. When Steiger arrived for a session he said that his psychiatrist had told him to behave exactly as he felt and proceeded to stand on his head. After a while Lucas said: "Rod, I don't suppose we could get on. I'll join you upside down later." As Lucas later wrote: "All aggression gone, he agreed and was a most responsive sitter."
Occasionally, Lucas would go on special assignment and once found himself performing the role of a paparazzo (although the term was not yet coined).
In 1955 Diana Dors attended the Venice Film Festival and urged Lucas to hire a motor launch and be positioned at a particular point at a particular time. She arrived on a gondola in an area packed with boats and suddenly removed her coat to reveal a mink bikini. The next day Lucas's photograph stole the front pages of many newspapers.
He enjoyed a brief romance with Yvonne De Carlo after photographing her for her latest film. Later, the teenage actress Belinda Lee was being groomed as a Rank starlet when Lucas photographed her in 1954. They began dating and were soon married, but after five years together their careers forced them apart and they were divorced. Lee was killed in a car crash in 1961.
In 1957 he met his second wife, the actress Susan Travers, when he photographed her for Rank. They were married two years later. "I have known a number of exceptional and beautiful women in my lifetime, but Susan has more than enough grace and beauty to inspire any artist," he said.
He left Pinewood in 1959, just as the studio era was ending, to open his own studio in Flood Street, Chelsea, where he expanded from portraits into advertising and fashion photography.
Lucas published three books of his photographs: Heads and Tales: The Film Portraits of Cornel Lucas (1988); Shooting Stars: Camera Portraits by Cornel Lucas (2005); and The Red Shoes and Ballet Studies (with Jack Cardiff, 2005). He exhibited internationally and his work is held by the National Portrait Gallery and the National Media Museum of Photography in Bradford. His portrait of David Niven adorned a British postage stamp in 1985.
He is survived by his wife Susan and their four children.
Cornel Lucas, photographer, was born on September 12, 1920. He died on November 8, 2012, aged 92

British Lions podium success in New Zealand
The British Lions, the GB entry into New Zealands fast, furious and tactical sport of Team Superstocks Racing, have beaten all expectations by grabing podium success with a very respectable 3rd position overall in the coveted Enzed Team Superstocks Championship.
The triumph is all the more remarkable because Team racing is not a discipline practised in the UK, so for all the drivers it was a case of being thrown into the deep end and learning on the job.
The team consisted of Frankie Wainman Jnr, Stuart Smith Jnr, Tom Harris, and Mark Taylor, with Mick Harris as the reserve driver.
The achievement marks the end to a remarkable year of success for British drivers in New Zealand, where Frankie Wainman Jnr made history by taking the New Zealand World Championship title for a record third time.

Technical Details

Pros & Cons
Even though the Grizzly G0561 Metal Cutting Bandsaw, 7 x 12-Inch is compact in size it is still a large capacity tool with the ability to cut a variety of materials. Here are some of the most helpful pros related to this metal bandsaw:
- This horizontal band saw is designed to provide a versatile cutting experience with its ability to cut round stock at 7 inches or rectangular stock at 7 x 12 inch.
- The Grizzly G0561 is built to be completely mobile with its small footprint (13 x 38 inches) and case iron wheels. This is great for the workshop with limited space where it isn't possible to leave the saw out in the open at all times.
- The solid cast iron construction (bed, body frame, and wheel) makes this a heavy piece of machinery that is certain to stand up to most abuse in the workshop environment. Plus, it gives a finish in powder coated paint to increase the ability to maintain its clean looks.
- It is built with an automatic shut-off feature for extra safety while the bandsaw is in use. The shut-off feature works by automatically switching off the blade after completing each cut of metal or other material.
- To increase the usable lifespan of the blades and achieve the smooth cut, the Grizzly G0561 includes a coolant system feature. The coolant tank has a capacity of 2-1/2 gallons and is easily operated using the coolant hose to control the amount of fluid allowed to flow.
- The Grizzly G0561 is equipped with a quick-positioning vise to make it possible to easily get control of the clamping jaw. This is useful when working with a variety of materials that can benefit from a change in the vise position.
The Grizzly G0561 Metal Cutting Bandsaw, 7 x 12-Inch is a very strong and easy-to-use piece of machinery, but has some minor flaws, including:
- The coolant system has the potential to spray everywhere, even when on one of the slowest settings, but this issue is easily resolved with a few minor adjustments to the reservoir. Plus, the instructions aren't very helpful when it comes to the coolant system.
- It can start to run quite loud, especially in the area of the drive pulley.
- This horizontal band saw might sit too low for some users (it is in the region of 22 inches off the ground).
At 300+ pounds the Grizzly G0561 is a heavy piece of machinery, but perfect for the small to medium sized shop. With its high-quality features like the quick-positioning vise, coolant system, robust motor, automatic shut-off, and hydraulic feed control, this saw is easily able to slice through the most common materials to leave each piece of metal with a smooth and sharp cut.

|Jim Whatley was
early merchant, timberman
By Jack M.
James M. "Jim" Whatley was born on November 15th, 1860, on the homestead of his grandfather William Whatley, which was inherited by his father Phinias W. Whatley, and like all of the heirs of Phinias, Jim was brought up in a regimen of hard work, remaining with his parents as long as they lived, and was thirty-five years old before he married and founded a home of his own.
Opportunities for Jim Whatley to obtain a proper education were few and far between, with book learning being confined to what was taught by local schools; however he did not require as much tutelage and training as other people might have needed, because Jim possessed a natural knack and flare for business. He enjoined his first commercial enterprise when he was only fourteen years old, when he and his brother Phinias went into the mercantile business on their own, so well did the brothers understand business procedures that they proved formidable competitors to their father. This was a tremendous undertaking for the two brothers at their age, because their father owned stores in both Eden and Summerville, but the brothers operated their store under the name of P.W. and J. M. Whatley.
They had continued this partnership for over twenty years, when suddenly they agreed to disagree, and dissolved the partnership with each going into business himself in 1879.
Meanwhile, they had purchased the old homestead from their father that the heirs of J. M. Whatley still retain today, but the residence in place replaces the original one that was destroyed by fire. J. M. "Jim" Whatley built the newer store across the road in 1879, with the building that is still stranding opening officially to transact business in the fall of that year.
Both the house and store with the original shelving and counters still intact, are located on Highway 774, just off Highway 8 in the Eden community, with the building not being wired for electricity until a renovation in 1986. When first built, the mercantile consisted of four rooms with wings added to the sides, and the rear extended to accommodate bulk items such as animal feeds and seeds and fertilizers.
People who recall shopping at the store remember that it also contained the Eden Post Office, was used at times as a voting precinct, and that one side of the main room featured items of wearing apparel; the other side, food.
Some merchandise, such as leather goods hung from the ceiling, and while strolling through the main interior of the store, a typical customer's nose was treated to a variety of pleasant smells, ranging from the aroma of fresh milled flour, leather goods, and green coffee beans, to pungent home remedy whiffs of camphor and turpentine.
According to old store ledgers dating back to 1897, people could purchase thirty pounds of flour for $1.00, twenty pounds of bacon for $1.60 and twelve pounds of coffee for $2.00. Drugs could be bought here, as well as furniture and musical instruments.\par }{\plain Fifty years later, in 1929, on the occasion of the celebration of his fiftieth year in business, J.M. Whatley offered Sugar, good granulated, 10 pounds for 58 cents, Pure ground coffee at 20 cents per pound, 45 pounds of lard for $5.25, and a 24 pound sack of flour for .85 cents.
Customers paid their bills by cash, by work (Mr. Whatley paid 50 cents a day or $10.00 a month for labor), or trade. Ledger entries show the major source of payment as seed cotton, with Mr. Whatley owning and operating his own gin. One of his sons, Henry Grady would lose a hand and portion of his forearm in an accident relating to the gin's operation, and this would not be the only tragedy to befall this young man.
When the customer's cotton crop came in and was ginned, Mr. Whatley would apply the cotton crop's worth against the farmer's yearlong bill at the store. Ledger entries show that one customer was credited $5.50 for a yearling, and another $22.00 for sixteen hogs.
From his youth up Jim Whatley had bought and sold timberland, owning at one time over 50,000 acres, and the Whatley Heirs still retain over 3,500 acres in their possession. When the Buchanan interests started building the Louisiana & Arkansas rail line into the Jena area to service their sawmills at Trout and Good Pine, he did all he could to promote its construction, even donating a house in Jena for the engineers to use as a residence and engineering offices until its completion. He was one of the original sponsors of the organization of the Town of Jena, helping J. Bing Wright organize the Bank of Jean in 1910 while serving on its original Board of Directors. He also served as President and a member of the Police Jury.
Besides serving in political and monetary capacities, being engaged in business endeavors in merchandising and timber, Mr. Whatley was also a very able farmer. A corn crop was grown in a field next to the store, and Mr. Whatley always wanted his crops to look especially productive. Mr. Burly Corley, who at one time, was employed by Mr. Whatley relates the following tales. When the corn crop was beginning to come up they would fertilize, and "lay the crop by" when the corn was about 14 inches tall. Then when it was about waist high he would have his field hands add additional fertilizer to about a half dozen of the rows nearest the road, causing these rows to look as high as an elephants ear, and loaded with ears of corn, conveying the appearance that the whole field was like that, and the sight always impressed passers-by.
Mr. Corley also recalled that there was a salesman named Mr. Dean who would call on Mr. Whatley for orders for merchandise with which to stock his store. Mr. Dean had apparently rubbed Mr. Whatley the wrong way relating to some past transaction, with the result being that Mr. Whatley told Mr. Corley not to order any more merchandise from Dean under any circumstances, but Mr. Dean knew how to get back in Mr. Whatley's good graces. On his next call to Eden, he drove up in front of the store and got out of his car. He immediately walked over to the fence in front of the cornfield, climbing up on the fence where he could peer out over the field of corn, and declared loudly to Mr. Whatley and Mr. Corley, who were sitting on the store's front porch, "If I could raise corn like that, I wouldn't waste my time running a store, I'd go to farming full time." That statement had the desired result.
Jim Whatley ordered over $1,000.00 worth of groceries from the salesman that very day.
In the spring following the Fiftieth Year celebration tragedy struck two of Mr. Whatley's sons. An emergency airfield had been built the preceding fall in the Tall Timber Community, adjacent and east of the Tall Timber Lumber Company housing by Tall Timber Company employees Allan Brown, Jack Schneider and Ed Ford.
An itinerant "barnstormer" pilot, probably a refuge from World War I, had flown in from Alexandria, and was giving the locals airplane rides with the pilot's name being W. J. Davidson and hailing from Wharton, Texas. The plane in question was a Curtiss Travel Air 2000, fairly new and probably a 1927 model, and had the distinction of being the first airplane to land at the newly completed field.
The plane was a two seater, bi-wing and resembled a Fokker d. VII of World War I vintage. This particular plane had been modified to haul two passengers instead of one, had a Curtiss OXX-6, 100 hp, Vee engine, with a cruising speed of 85 mph, powering it, and was considered one of the best aeroplanes at the time, because its principle designer was J. Walter Beech, who, aided and abetted by Clyde Cessna and Lloyd Stearman, who would go on to be immortalized in aviation history. Later, the pilot would maintain that he had been licensed three weeks ago in Texas, and the plane had been fully inspected at that time also.
On this particular day the pilot had been taking paying passengers up all day and into the afternoon on ten-minute flights. Lewis Humphries, a Jena resident, had gotten off work at the Melba Hotel, owned and operated by Bill Benton, Sr., and headed for the air field to catch a ride. He and his boyhood friend Theo Walden got in line, but didn't have the proper change with the pilot's cashier telling them they'd have to go get change for a $20 bill. As they left, Jim Whatley drove up with his two youngest sons Grady and Lamar, and having the right change, they readily climbed aboard the plane and got strapped in.
While the pilot was revving the engine prior to take off, a gentleman who would become one of the Jena area's top mechanics was standing there watching the plane's take off preparations and as the plane lifted into the air, he turned to a by-stander and said "That plane's engine isn't running right."
The pilot had essentially completed the junket with the two Whatley brothers aboard, and was circling to land, when the engine coughed and died, with the plane going into a spiral and crashing. In a matter of seconds the plane exploded and the Whatley brothers, unable to free themselves, were cremated on the spot with the pilot making one futile attempt to set them free, but because of the intense heat and burns he had already suffered, was unable to do so. He was carried to Alexandria where his wounds were treated, and not considered life threatening. The Whatley brothers were well known, as was the family, and their tragic deaths cast a vale of gloom over the entire countryside.
Sometime later a sense of normalcy returned to the Eden community, with Mr. J. M. "Jim" Whatley continuing to operate his many enterprises, merchandising being the principal one, because making money to him was serious business.
One story told was that a woman came in to settle up her monthly bill. She lacked a nickel having enough to settle the bill entirely, and he generously told her, "That's all right, I'll just carry it over to next month's bill."
Jim Whatley always wore a white shirt, dark trousers and a hat if he went out of doors. He would open the store early every morning, but would shut and padlock the doors at twelve noon, and t then stroll across the street to his country home for lunch. Mrs. Whatley never knew how many to expect, as he often brought salesmen or paying customers home to eat, consequently Mrs. Whatley had three women that helped her with the cooking and management of the huge house.
The Whatley House was, and still is something to behold in its elegance.
It is described as L- shaped, with door transoms, balusters, 15 rooms, 11/2 stories, three hip dormers on the front, columns, extended eaves, encircling porch and a central hall.
After lunch, Mr. Whatley would sit on the front porch of the house so he could watch the store. If a customer came to the store he would walk across the road and open up, but if no one came, he stayed on the porch.
James M. "Jim" Whatley concluded his final transaction on this earth on June 11th, 1941, with his gin still operating, and over 100 hands employed on his farm. His heirs shut the doors on the store shortly after his death, never to open up for business again. James Monroe "Jim" Whatley probably would NOT have liked that...

Hello João,
What exactly is that you're struggling with? (e.g., How to show the date range?)
Best regards,

The construction spending report for June showed only a 0.1% gain, largely affected by the unexpected decline in single-family homes. Spending on single-family homes dropped 0.3%, after gains in May and April. Nevertheless, year-on-year single-family construction spending displayed an increase of 12.8%. Multi-family units showed much greater strength in June, up 2.8% for the month, and up 23.7% year-on-year.
Consumer spending continued to rise throughout the month of June, with a gain of 0.2%, but failed to compare to the 0.7% spike in consumer spending seen in May. Moving into July, Americans' self-reported spending averaged $91 for the month, similar to the last few months. This number, although slightly lower than the July 2014 average, is higher than every other July average since 2009.
Employment reports have been abundant over the past week, starting with Gallup's U.S. Job Creation Index for July, which maintained a record high of plus 32 for the third straight month. This score was a result of 43% of workers saying their employer is hiring new workers and expanding its workforce size, and 11% of workers who said their employer is letting workers go and reducing its workforce size, percentages that remained the same as in June.
On the flip-side is the Job-Cut report by Challenger, which reported a sizeable 105,696 layoff count in July. The number of layoffs for the month was majorly affected by an announcement by the Army that it is cutting 57,000 jobs over the next 2 years. Computer & electronics also reported heavy layoffs, at 18,891, contributing to the outsized July layoff count.
Despite the reported layoffs, jobless claims remain remarkably low. Initial claims for the week of August 1 came in at 270,000, and the 4-week average dropped 6,500 in the week to 268,250, more than 10,000 below the month-ago trend. Continuing claims for the July 25 week declined by 14,000 to 2.255 million, and the 4-week average did the same, dropping 18,000 to 2.239 million. Both initial and continuing jobless claims continue to report numbers at or near historic lows.
Payroll numbers, while not amazing, are solid enough to keep the possibility of a September rate hike alive. Non-farm payrolls rose 215,000 in the month of July, as was expected. Within non-farm payrolls, trade & transportation payrolls rose 60,000, professional & business service rose 40,000, retail jobs rose 36,000, and manufacturing, which is usually weak, rose 15,000 in July. In other employment news, wages are up 0.2% for the month of July, with a year-on-year rate of 2.1%. The labor force participation rate, which showed a sharp drop in June, held at 62.6% in July, and the unemployment rate remains unchanged at 5.3%.
Mortgage Rates
Mortgage Rates for most loan programs have remained unchanged over the past 2 weeks. Compared to the week of July 22, the 30-year fixed, high balance, FHA, FHA 203k, VA and USDA loan programs have shown little-to-no change. The 30-year fixed continues to hover around 4.000% (4.040% APR), averaging approximately 1/8 percentage points lower than this time last year. Among the remaining loan programs, the 15-year fixed and Manufactured FHA programs displayed very slight increases, and the Manufactured Conventional and Jumbo programs dropped 22.2 basis points and 11.5 basis points, respectively.
Stability in rates has helped to boost mortgage activity recently as well. Home purchase applications increased by 3.0% in the week of July 31, and are 23% higher compared to this time last year. Refinancing applications have also shown growth, up 6.0% in the last week of July.
Freddie Mac's weekly mortgage rate survey reported that the national average rate for 30-year fixed mortgages dropped below 4.000% over the last couple of weeks. Freddie Mac chief economist Sean Becketti commented on the drop in rates, noting that "uncertainty about the economy helped drive down Treasury yields early in the week, and thus mortgage rates fell 7 basis points to 3.91 percent, the lowest level since June 4th."
