BOSTON (AP) Fidelity Investments will eliminate 1,700 jobs early next year in a second round of cuts at the nation's largest mutual fund company, which has seen its money management fees decline along with the markets.
Combined with 1,300 cuts that Fidelity announced last week, the second round disclosed Friday will eliminate about 7% of the company's workforce of about 44,400, said Anne Crowley, a spokeswoman for Boston-based Fidelity.
Details on which jobs are to be cut in the second round haven't been worked out. But the cuts will be spread roughly proportionally across Fidelity's operations, with the reductions occurring sometime in the first three months of next year, Crowley said.
In the first round, which is taking place this month, layoff notices began going out earlier this week, affecting management positions as well as lower-level jobs at privately held Fidelity. No fund managers or investment analysts are being laid off in the first round. Crowley said Friday it is too early to say whether that would be the case in the second round.
In a letter distributed to employees describing the initial cuts, Fidelity President Rodger Lawson said recent market volatility has hurt company revenue, leading him to conclude that "many of the cost improvement plans which would have been phased in by our business units over the next three years need to be accelerated."
In addition to its more than 11,000-employee Massachusetts operations in Boston and Marlborough, Fidelity has sizable offices in Florida, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Texas and Utah.
The latest cuts are in addition to reductions totaling about 800 jobs in two rounds earlier this year after Fidelity reorganized some business units.
While Fidelity is more diversified than many of its rival money managers, it still relies heavily on money management fees for much of its profit. Those fees are based on the assets held in Fidelity's more than 400 mutual funds, and assets there have been shrinking.
Cuts also have been announced in recent weeks at smaller mutual fund firms including Janus Capital Group, which is eliminating about 115 jobs, or about 9% of its workforce.
According to Financial Research Corp., assets at Fidelity's funds lost nearly 23% of their value through October of this year, to nearly $717 billion. The total excludes money-market funds, an area in which Fidelity is the industry leader based on more than $400 billion in assets. Overall, Fidelity managed $1.4 trillion as of Sept. 30.
Fidelity has sought to diversify beyond its core mutual funds in recent years, moving into areas such as individual retirement planning and employee benefit management.

Series: Green Bay leads 95-67-7 in a series that dates to 1930. The first six meetings were against the Portsmouth Spartans. The teams have split the series the past two seasons. Green Bay, of course, won at home last year because it always wins at home. The Packers haven't lost to the Lions at home since 1991, when Lindy Infante was the coach and Brett Favre was in Atlanta.
Last time (at Lambeau Field): With Aaron Rodgers laboring on – and reinjuring – his sprained calf, the Packers won 30-20 on Dec. 28 to earn the NFC North championship and a first-round bye. Eddie Lacy ran for 100 yards against one of the top run defenses in NFL history and Rodgers accounted for three touchdowns while throwing only five incomplete passes.
Noteworthy: The Lions' calling card has been their indomitable defensive line, which was on full display in their 19-7 victory over the Packers at Ford Field in Week 3 of last season. Free agency tore that calling card into a million pieces. The Lions couldn't afford to keep defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and they grew tired of waiting for Nick Fairley to develop into a star, so they let him sign with the Rams. Even top backup C.J. Mosley departed, as he joined Suh in Miami. Detroit sent a couple of mid-round picks to Baltimore for Haloti Ngata but a relative unknown by the name of Tyrunn Walker will take the other spot.Without Suh and Fairley dominating on first down and getting in quarterbacks' faces on third down, it will be interesting to see if cornerbacks Rashean Mathis, Darius Slay and whoever winds up at the nickel will be able to hold up in coverage. The ageless Mathis has been excellent and Slay looks like a rising young player but will they be the same without Suh and Fairley providing a constant rush? Will they be as effective when it's third-and-3 more often than it's third-and-8? Losing the tackles was a huge blow but middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch is back after tearing an Achilles while celebrating a sack in the Week 3 win over Green Bay.
2014 Record
Offensive rankings: 22nd in points (20.1 per game). 19th in yards (340.8 per game). 12th in passing (251.9 per game). 28th in rushing (88.9 per game).
Defensive rankings: 3rd in points (17.6 per game). 2nd in yards (300.9 per game). 13th in passing (231.6 per game). 1st in rushing (69.3 per game).
2015 Comings and Goings
Hello: WR Lance Moore, WR Greg Salas, DT Haloti Ngata (trade), CB Josh Wilson, CB Chris Owens, C Manny Ramirez (trade).
Goodbye: DT Ndamukong Suh, DT Nick Fairley, DT C.J. Mosley, DE George Johnson (trade), CB Chris Houston, CB Bill Bentley, FB Jed Collins, RT Corey Hilliard.
Draft: The Lions' powerful defensive line was gutted in free agency. Nonetheless, they didn't make it a priority to rebuild the depth chart in the first round. They moved back a handful of picks in the first round to take Duke's Laken Tomlinson. He'll step in right away at left guard. Detroit got excellent value with its next three picks. Second-rounder Ameer Abdullah is a younger version of do-it-all running back Reggie Bush, who they sent packing, and fourth-rounder Gabe Wright will help plug the massive holes left on the defensive line. In between, third-rounder Alex Carter provides a physical corner. Fifth-round fullback Michael Burton can block and catch.
2015 Personnel in Focus
Pro Football Focus, that is. PFF has a color-coded rankings system for each team's 24 "starters," with the extra player to account for a key substitution package such as a third cornerback or third wide receiver. Green Bay has four blue/elite starters (Rodgers, Cobb, Nelson and Sitton), six dark green/high-quality starters (Lang, Lacy, Hayward, Peppers, Daniels and Matthews), four green/good starters (Linsley, Bulaga, Shields and Burnett), six yellow/average starters (Bakhtiari, Quarless, Kuhn, Hyde, Perry and Clinton-Dix) and four orange/below-average starters (Adams, Guion, Raji and Barrington). The Packers don't have any starters rated poor and they don't have any rookies projected to be starters.
The Lions have ...
Blue/elite (1): WR Calvin Johnson.
Dark green/high quality (6): WR Golden Tate, RG Larry Warford, DE Ziggy Ansah, MLB Stephen Tulloch, CB Rashean Mathis, S Glover Quin.
Green/good (7): QB Matthew Stafford, RB Joique Bell, LT Riley Reiff, DT Haloti Ngata, OLB DeAndre Levy, CB Darius Slay, S James Ihedigbo.
Yellow/average (4): WR Lance Moore, RT LaAdrian Waddle, DT Tyrunn Walker, OLB Tahir Whitehead.
Orange/below average (4): TE Brandon Pettigrew, C Travis Swanson, DE Jason Jones, CB Josh Wilson.
Red/Poor (0): None.
Silver/Not enough information (0): None.
Purple/Rookie (2): G Laken Tomlinson, FB Michael Burton.
DT Halota Ngata said: "It's exciting, man. I've never been a part of a defense like this. You have so many athletes: J.J. (Jason Jones), Ziggy, Caraun (Reid), Darryl Tapp. You just have so many playmakers all over the front on the D-line. I'm just excited to be a part of it. … I've been down in Baltimore a long time and changing to this type of defense, it's just exciting. I'm excited to do it and I'm excited to be here. Just can't wait to put the pads on to see how it really feels."
Coach Jim Caldwell, on expectations entering his second season for QB Matthew Stafford: "It puts him in position where he can anticipate what he's going to see according to formations, actions, things of that nature. I think once you get accustomed to being able to have an idea of what you might get, I think it helps you in terms of your proficiency. He can anticipate a little bit more, he can get isolations where, obviously, sometimes by using his eyes the proper way. So, there are a lot of little nuances I think that he's really starting to develop."Bill Huber is publisher of Packer Report magazine and PackerReport.com and has written for Packer Report since 1997.

An illustration for an erotica's portfolio i made with friends.
The picture is largely inspired by the Silent Hill's universe, as the symbol on the floor and the filthy walls.
It's nice although i don't really understand why is she drawing the symbol on the floor and where the blood she drew it with came from. Anatomically, her left leg bothers me, seems a bit fat. Another thing is the background, ceilings perspective doesn't match with that of the wall (there is no vanishing line converegence), and also the light from the fixtures is missing.
Other then that it's a nice piece.

yutani is picky, the leg is fine. but he is correct about the perspective - the lines on the tops of the doors are divergant.
The problem i see here, is that the subject does not appear to be in the environment at all; other than her shadow on the floor. the lighting as far as hue and direction and intensity is not consistant with how the subject is lit. Everything in the BG has a green hue along witht the lights, but i see no evidence of that on the girl.
I like the girl a lot, but i recommend studing light to help submerge her into the environment.
Ya I agree with Nardfrog. The character art is hot and the backgrounds well drawn, but they don't seem to fit together at all.
All>You have right guyz,
for the perspective i wanted to deform a bit but for now i realize it is so divergent. And colour goes sometimes in the wrong way.
For the integration with the light, i was experimenting a mix between traditional watercolor and digital painting. As a result i hadn't the good equilibrium between the character and the background. So i will try to take advantage of your advices.
Thanks for all!
an easy way to integrate her into the environment, would be to give her a green tint, as the light bouncing off all that green would do. Then it wouldnt look like shes cut out and pasted on the bkgrnd.

A Great Gatsby Landmark, About To Be Leveled
The days are numbered for the "green light that burns all night" at the end of a Long Island dock in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. The Sands Point home, called "Land's End" has been scheduled for demolition after years of being on and off the real estate market, its asking price of $30 million being too high for those with even the richest of literary home-owning hopefuls.
The house itself could use some help from the crew at This Old House; windows are missing, the front door is loose from its hinges, paint is peeling from the walls, and the house is costing its current owners $4,500 per day to maintain. In January, Sands Point Village approved a developer's plans to demolish the house and build a set of five luxury homes on the estate's 13 acres.
The home is said to be an inspiration for the home of character Daisy Buchanan, the protagonist's love interest in the novel. Outside of the fictional, roaring 20's world, it hosted the likes of Winston Churchill and the Marx Brothers, and was originally owned by the Executive Editor of the New York World newspaper, Herbert Bayard Slope.
The current owners estimated that it would cost at least $2 million to restore the mansion to a livable condition. With a new, 3-D movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby being shot in a movie set in Australia (and the original 1974 movie being shot in houses in Rhode Island and England), the only place to find Land's End after this month's demolition might be the original novel. Generations of high school readers, though, may find it a bit tougher to forget about.

Central Bank celebrates anniversary with donations
In recognition of Central Bank's 125-year heritage as the oldest financial institution in Storm Lake - and Northwest Iowa - the bank has donated a total of $125,000 to a pair of local organizations.
Central Bank has committed $100,000 to the Science Center campaign in support of Buena Vista University. The bank has also pledged $25,000 to Buena Vista Regional Medical Center.
Tim Brown, president of Central Bank, has served on the Buena Vista University Board of Trustees since 1994, where he is a member of the marketing and finance committees.
"We are happy to continue the partnership between Central Bank and Buena Vista University," said Tim Brown. "Investing in a strong future for BV is an investment in our community and Northwest Iowa."
John Brown, executive vice president, earned a degree in finance and banking from Buena Vista. John Brown also played football and was an All-American wrestler at BV, where he was named to the BVU Athletic Hall of Fame.
"Central Bank is making this gift to the Science Center because we realize the importance of having a modern facility to go along with a strong science program at BV," said John Brown.
The bank has also made a significant donation to Buena Vista Regional Medical Center.
"The medical center's building project will have a tremendous impact on people's lives in this area," said Tim Brown.
Central Bank's history dates back to 1877, when James F. Toy chartered it as Commercial Trust & Savings Bank. In 1937, Albert Tymeson purchased the bank and it stayed in the Tymeson family until it was purchased by the Browns in 1990.
The bank's name was changed to Central Bank last December.
Under the Browns' leadership, the bank has grown to $185 million in total assets and employs 90 people in six locations. In addition to Storm Lake, Central Bank has offices in Spirit Lake, Cherokee, Sioux City, Washta and Quimby.
"We are proud to be the oldest bank in Northwest Iowa as we celebrate our 125th anniversary this year," said Tim Brown. "But we are more excited about what the future holds for the people of this area.
"Buena Vista University and the Buena Vista Regional Medical Center are a couple of outstanding organizations that mean a great deal to the people of Northwest Iowa. We felt these two donations gave us the perfect opportunity to celebrate our anniversary, while helping to strengthen our community."

Aled Lewis is a young, London-based designer and illustrator mashing up popular culture in style. His retro, pixellated work is a who's who of my childhood. From Guybrush Threepwood to Donkey Kong, the nostalgia's infectious. Most of the time, it's the creativity of the idea and the fun in the execution that's most striking. Besides video games, working with sites like Threadless and Woot, Aled's also an in-demand t-shirt designer, responsible for one of the most popular shirts on the whole Threadless site. I caught up with him over a pint to find out more.
How long have you been designing and illustrating for?
For as long as I can remember, really. I studied graphic design at London Met, finished in 2008 or 2009.

Throughout popular culture, virtual Easter eggs work like inside jokes. Little hidden messages and references left lying around for fans to discover, blog about and argue over (and even name their bands after). Some are simple shout outs. Some are more elaborate. Like the Konami Code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start), used in games like Contra, Castlevania and Gradius (and on websites like Facebook, Google Reader and Digg). And then there's Star Wars, with enough virtual Easter Eggs to give even a wookie diabetes.
According to Atari, they coined the term in 1979, when Adventure programmer Warren Robinett popularised the idea using a grey pixel (on a grey background) to lead players into a secret room displaying the words "Created by Warren Robinett." Obviously, others are laying claim as well.
Another aspect of virtual Easter eggs is hidden features on DVDs: an extra click here, a hidden treasure there. But enough jabbering, here's a look at a few virtual Easter eggs we find particularly enjoyable.
Pixar movies are notoriously loaded with self-referential Easter eggs. From Pizza Planet and Dinoco, to the Luxo Ball. One of the most popular Pixar Easter eggs is A113, a reference to the graphic design and character animation classroom number at the California Institute of the Arts. To date, the number has turned up in animated shows like American Dad, Tiny Toons, South Park and The Simpsons. And live action films like The Phantom Menace and Terminator Salvation. Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille), who's used the number in every one of his films and two episodes of The Simpsons, called A113 his "Nina." A reference to caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, who hid his daughter's name, Nina, in his drawings.

Thom Powers and the rest of New Zealand pop outfit The Naked and Famous are REALLY busy right now. My first attempt at an interview was rescheduled when I caught Thom checking out of a hotel in London. The night before, the band won the Philip Hall Radar Award at NME Shockwaves. And they were already on their way to Cambridge when I interrupted. When I spoke to Thom again the next day, he was in Bristol, 10 minutes away from another soundcheck.
From the UK, The Naked and Famous are off to the rest of Europe. Then the States. And besides Flight of the Conchords, they're already the most successful band to break out of New Zealand (Split Enz?). Here's what Thom had to say anyway. Their debut album, Passive Me, Aggressive You, is out now (but not fully).
Every time I read your name I get The Presidents of the United States of America stuck in my head. I believe it comes from a Tricky song?
Ha ha… Yeah, Pre-Millennium Tension, 1996. From a song called 'Tricky Kid'.
How was the NME Awards show? Judging from your Twitter updates, things got pretty out of hand?
Heaps of fun. Big shock. I didn't even know why I was there. We just kind of got invited at the last minute.
One of your tweets was, "Dear aggressive drunks, you are everything that is fucked. Ever". What happened? A real life case of Passive Me, Aggressive You?

Warp Films
Most of you know him as Moss, Dean Learner, Thornton Reed or Saboo. But Richard Ayoade's been directing for years, working on hip (read: weird) music videos for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Super Furry Animals, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys and The Last Shadow Puppets. He also directed AD/BC: A Rock Opera (with Matt Berry) and episodes of Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. Submarine, due out in the UK March 11, is Ayoade's debut feature.
All the Ayoade music videos I've ever seen don't make much sense. So a 97-minute feature film - you'd assume - would force him to tie up a tight, comprehensible narrative that even someone as un-cool as me could understand. In the end, it's the combination of Ayoade's odd, non-nonsensical style and the regular constraints of feature film that makes Submarine work so well. Really, the story's a perfect fit for Ayoade's unique style.
Based on the novel by Joe Dunthorne, the film tells the story of Welsh teenager Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts), a young boy dealing with all the regular (and not so regular) pangs of growing up. Desperate to lose his virginity, he scours his classmates for the most likely-to-say-yes. Then he meets Jordana Bevan (Yasmin Paige), an odd but cute-looking pyromaniac way beyond expectations.
Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys, The Last Shadow Puppets) wrote the music for the film. And there's a strange sense of 'Turner-ism' running through the whole thing. Roberts looks (and dresses) a lot like Turner. Paige even looks like a young Alexa Chung. And together, punctuated by Turner's voice singing the songs, Oliver Tate and Jordana Bevan look like an awkward, teenage version of the couple.
Overall, the film's a perfect blend of mundane and fantastical. It's like Wes Anderson meets Adrian Mole and Alex Turner (in Wales). Ayoade's style is light and heavy at the same time. And the film stirred up all those deeply buried teenage insecurities and emotions I thought I'd let go of so long ago. Afterwards, I heard some people calling Submarine "bleak" and "typically British." Instead, I found it hopeful and uplifting. A strong debut by a talented young filmmaker.
Oddly, the poster says "Ben Stiller presents." He's billed as an executive producer, been to all the premieres, done all the interviews and even makes a small cameo in the film on a TV screen as a fake soap opera star.
Camp London, February 23
Live, Suuns make complete sense. Fuelled by intensity and the grimy, basement surroundings, their dark mantras sound powerful and hypnotic. The kind of stuck rhythms zombies could dance to. Watching frontman Ben Shemie thrash his guitar, attack his amp and climb the peeling grey walls of Camp London, I kept thinking, "90s grunge (with a new-age feel)."
People keep throwing the word minimalist around to describe the hyped new Montreal four-piece. And on their debut album, Zeroes QC, you can hear it (or rather, can't hear it). Suuns use restraint like an instrument, lending an unsettling, almost ethereal quality to their music. But live, they're way more explosive.
Max Henry hops from keyboards to bass, Joe Yarmush swaps from bass to slide guitar, Shemie switches from sane to nuts and Liam O'Neill's got a bag of tricks on drums. After a quick encore, Suuns hop off stage, push their way through a frozen crowd and disappear.
Sub Pop
You really have to stop what you're doing and listen for this one to make sense. The album title (I assume) is a tongue-in-cheek dig at fist-pumping hardcore loyalists. But on a deeper level, it's something I've thought about a lot. As in, "that bridge will be here in a hundred years, I won't." Mogwai's version is much funnier.
Like I said, the album's hard work to get into. It's attention seeking. A whirling daze of post-punk, atmospheric pressures and mostly-instrumental annunciations. Fuzzy distortion and feedback-infected, gentle dreaminess. Who else would write a (surprisingly) uplifting instrumental track with euphoric, orbital melodies and call it "White Noise"? Anything but.
It's a musical landscape, no... skyscape (spacescape?). And I'm sitting on the Board of Shaman's magic carpet with travel sickness, arguing with Tony Harrison...

Raised on a diet of Conan the Barbarian, Dark Crystal and Krull, Galway City local and "strict vegetarian" Michael Craughwell fell in love with fantasy weapons as a kid of the '80s. When he saw Mad Max, a light bulb flashed. "Everything in Mad Max was made out of junk. And I could get junk", he told a room full of kids and crying babies at his local library.
In 2007, Craughwell was commissioned to make a life-sized replica of the Buster sword from Final Fantasy 7. When he posted the pics and videos online, the Internet did the rest. Or as he puts it, "a whole subculture of people crawled out of the woodwork and started contacting me." Nowadays, Craughwell spends his time making giant swords to order, swords likely to have British health and safety authorities foaming at the mouth. We contacted him to find out more.
So how did you get into making crazy swords? Did you always fantasise about being a blacksmith?
I'm not a blacksmith, but I guess you can't stop people wanting me to be. I always envisioned/hoped/dreamed I'd be some guy making medieval weapons in a hellish post-apocalyptic future. I started making weapons out of old junk. At some point it became easier to just make things from scratch than to find stuff that was already kinda weapon-shaped. Watching Mad Max 2 = pointy pants. Lord of the Rings = half mast.

Effervescence Records
French punk rockers Forus mix shredding modern influences like Protest the Hero and A Wilhelm Scream with straight-up melodic skate punk and a foreign accent that takes me back to a time when Millencolin were still cool. But despite the 10 tracks, it's still not a full length...
We is a new digital EP compiling Forus' output so far: six tracks from their 2008 EP Aaron's Revolution, three tracks from their 2009 split Coalition and "The Bottom Line" (Forus' contribution to Bells On Records' 2010 Belvedere tribute). A smart move, really. I mean, who's even heard of 'em outside of Bayonne, right?
Overall, the sound's melodic to the nth degree. The playing's ultra-technical - from drum speeds that rival Fullblast, to fiddly, metal-inspired riffs and duelling guitars, to brain-slapping tempo changes and sudden stops. Vocally, the band's still developing. Finding their voice as captivating songwriters. Their edge. But with a few years under the belt and a real full length in the pipeline, things are looking good.
With his receding hairline, flannel shirt and glasses, Ben Ottewell's the least 'rock star' muso in rock 'n roll. But his voice is pure gold. His gravelly, wounded-knee melodies are what drew me to Gomez - and kept me there. Now, like fellow Gomez guitarist Ian Ball before him, Ottewell's decided it's time to unleash his first solo album on the world. Six years in the making, the record's called Shapes and Shadows. And I couldn't think of a more perfect name for the dreamy, patchwork collection of personal songs, written whenever he could steal a moment.
How long have you had these songs rolling around your brain?
The oldest tune on the record is 'Blackbird'. I started writing it about six years ago, on the same morning I wrote 'How We Operate'. The newest is either 'Lightbulbs' or 'All Brand New', both written in winter 2009. So they have been rolling around my brain for quite some time. It's great that they finally found a home.
Are they more personal than your Gomez output?
Yes, and I think that's the whole point; to reflect something more personal musically and lyrically. Although some of these songs are co-written (with Sam Genders), they're closer to me than they would have been on a Gomez record.
Who was the first person you played the finished record to?
My wife and twin boys.

Contender Films/Entertainment 1
Reading Welsh weed smuggler Howard Marks' cult autobiography Mr. Nice, my first thought was, "This would make one hell of a movie!" So it didn't surprise me when I found out one was due in 2010, starring Rhys "Spike" Ifans as Marks. What did surprise me was the film's hush-hush release. And by 2011, I'd totally forgotten about it. Until I walked into HMV and there it was...
Dressed up like Liam Gallagher, Rhys Ifans definitely looks the part. And who doesn't love Chloë Sevigny? But other than that, director Bernard Rose and co. have cocked things up big time. You see, the thing about Mr. Nice is, it isn't just the weed. It's an adventure. A thrilling crime drama told with eloquence and style by a natural, charismatic storyteller.
So straight away, the animated DVD menu of Rhys Ifans blowing smoke out his nose and mouth and the blue weed leaf bullets in the Extra Features section struck me as surprisingly cheap and tacky - they might as well have colour-coded the packaging red, green and yellow.
For me, the appeal of Marks isn't the amount of hash he smoked, smuggled and sold. It's his romanticised image as this moralistic, weed-only outlaw. The Robin Hood of stoners. There's this deep emotional struggle to his story, full of pain, suffering and, of course, good times.
My main problem with the film is how quickly it breezes over things. Marks' amazing exploits have been turned into such a dreary, voiceless, dream-like series of events they make you wonder what all the fuss was about in the first place. Ifans is good enough as a charming, '70s, rockstar dealer. But overall, Mr. Nice is bitterly disappointing.

A well-executed, if fairly usual impressionist painting right? Wrong. The canvas is actually human skin, and the model has been encased in acrylic paint to create a '3D' take on a classic style. Taking the street show idea of painting skin and posing as a living sculpture way beyond its natural conclusion, 23-year-old Washington-based artist Alexa Meade paints people. Or as her website explains, she "perceptually compresses three dimensional space into a two dimensional plane".
Either way, the end result – a transient combination of installation, painting, photography, performance, sculpture and video – is pretty unbelievable. Even as I type this, over my shoulder, someone in the office is going, "No ways, I don't believe it!" We spoke to Alexa to find out more.
Why people?
I paint directly on people because I'm interested in exploring the tensions between being and permanence.
Being and permanence?
I like the idea of creating something that will be destroyed immediately upon completion. Once the performance is resolved, the model rips off the acrylic mask and all that endures is a photographic print documenting the time-based event. I don't sell installations or anything with a painted surface. The only thing you can own is a photographic index of my representational painting.

When I read about Will Bingley and Anthony Hope-Smith's new illustrated, graphic biography of Hunter S. Thompson, my first thought was, "How much more to the story could there possibly be?" Even the title put me off. Gonzo. We get it. But after a quick chat with the graphic novel's co-creators over a couple of pints, I was enthusiastic. These guys are the real deal.
Hope-Smith rattled off a list of dream inkers and letterers, Bingley confessed that if he had to sleep with a man it would be Bill Murray and together, they make an awesome pop culture-consuming duo. This time, it's about giving Hunter S. Thompson a new voice and dispelling the cartoon persona that they admit Thompson himself is to blame for.
So why Hunter S. Thompson? Is he a personal anti-hero?
Will: He is... For starters, he's an amazing person. Secondly, we felt that he'd been misrepresented, particularly with the movies and bigger US papers. His broader image is that pure kind of gonzo thing, which is a massive misrepresentation of him. So we figured we could go in and tell a more interesting story.
Anthony: He is very much perceived as a caricature persona, which, admittedly, is a persona that he came up with for himself. But it meant people didn't take him as seriously as they should have.

Howard Moon stumbles through the tundra. The icy blizzard whips his face. "So alone… Wind, my only friend", he calls out, stooped in complete isolation. "I hate you", whistles the breeze. If he had an iPod, he'd be listening to Suuns.
Joe Yarmush (guitar), Ben Shemie (vocals/guitar), Liam O'Neill (drums) and Max Henry (bass/keyboards) describe January in Montreal as "a dark time". "We were just trying to stay alive", explains O'Neil. And that's how I picture them: holed up the snow, stringing together their dark, moody, icy post-punk debut Zeroes QC.
Starting out in 2007, in Montreal, the original band name was Zeroes. But after some early concerns, they settled on Suuns. I caught up with the band ahead of their February European tour. Check out their MySpace page for dates.
So what's the story with the "Mexican Ramones", did they actually threaten to sue or did you just change the name in case?
BS: Lets put this to rest. Nothing happened with The Zeros. They were very cool and accommodating. They had no problem with our original name. Those guys are the real deal. We ended up changing the name because there are other bands out there with all sorts of variations: Zeroes, The Zeros, Orez, whatever. It was too complicated. And we were warned of a possible threat from another less cool Zeros.
Was it important to still squeeze the name Zeroes in there somewhere, even it was just the album title?
JY: Yes. The album title references our past. We lived with the name for long enough that we didn't want it to slip into the void.
BS: It was important, mostly because we'd built up our reputation locally and we're proud of our independent accomplishments. But we don't really care anymore.

Whoever said the meek shall inherit the earth was close. Off by one letter, in fact. See, once upon a time, geeks wore black-rimmed glasses, high-waisted trousers and pocket protectors. Like Steve Urkel. Nowadays, in the Google age, it's the geeks that rule the world. The likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Eric Schmidt have cash to burn and feet to protect. So why shouldn't fashionable footwear reflect this New Balance of power?
If you've been paying attention, the Star Wars Adidas Originals range has been getting pretty insane lately. From Jabba the Hutt to Princess Leia and Chewbacca. And in December, Adidas unveiled their new George Lucas-endorsed range of kicks for 2011, including AT-AT pilot El Dorados fat tongues, Emperor ZX-8000s with Dark Side blue lightning and a pretty unmissable pair of Imperial Guard-inspired hi-tops. Here's a look at five pairs of nerd-drooling designer sneakers we found lying around the Internet (and couldn't resist sharing).

There's no point reviewing this one. If you're not a fan, you're not interested. And if you are, you've clicked the link at the bottom and hit order already. It's worth it just to see their logos side by side on shiny vinyl.
The let down: there's only two songs! Which translates to less than six minutes of actual music. So like I say, it's purely a labour of love. One for the collectors.
Bouncing Souls cover Hot Water Music's "Wayfarer," released on their 2008 compilation/b-side album Til the Wheels Fall Off.

There's a buzz building in Camden, heard as far off as Boston and downtown Beirut. Yep, things are happening blindingly fast for new London band Tribes. Get this - they've been going for just over a year, haven't even released their first full length, just joined Facebook and have already played with the Pixies. And now they're off to Tokyo, to play with Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Strokes.
But first they've got XOYO tonight and the NME Awards show at Shepherds Bush Empire on February 9, with their old pals Mystery Jets. I caught up with Johnny Lloyd (vocals, guitar), Jim Cratchley (bass), Migeul Demelo (drums) and Dan White (guitar) backstage before their sold out XOYO show with Foreign Office and Paradise Point.
So how are you guys enjoying 2011 so far?
JL: It's been great to see ourselves in the NME a bit. And to do that BBC Radio Maida Vale thing. We had a great time. And we're really excited about the show at XOYO tonight.
How many bands to watch in 2011 lists did you make?
DW: We're on a couple but I find lists like that a bit misleading, to be honest.
JC: They're all very different.
DW: And you seem to be able to buy your way on 'em. Everyone that seems to have a massive record deal's on there.
JL: We were on the NME one, that's the one that counts.
JC: Because they actually listen to the music.

The place was crazy! My first London underground rave. Dubstep and other flavours, minimum lighting and a lot of drunk crazy people. The craziest? Skrillex (aka Sonny Moore ex-From First to Last). I kept picturing blood pouring from the sprinklers and ravers turning into vampires.

Jeremy Fish loves a good story. And every seemingly random character and spooky animal crest he creates fits in somewhere - from skull-carrying bears and gun-slinging owls to smoking whales and silly pink bunnies. Born in New York in 1974, Fish moved to San Francisco, California in 1994 to attend art school and fell in love. Nowadays, he wouldn't live anywhere else. Known to his friends as the King of North Beach, he works like a maniac on a diet of coffee, beer and the "occasional well done burger". I caught up with him between shifts.
You've been interviewed a lot. Surely there's one golden Jeremy Fish nugget you've waited 'til now to share with the world?
That I'm a nice guy.
Okay... Where did the name King of North Beach come from?
Umm, my friend Lizzy, I think. I used to joke with her about it. Now I actually hope to one day be the king of the greatest neighbourhood in the world. I think Aesop (Rock) refers to me as the K.O.N.B. as well.
The bio on your site suggests a mad, bearded hermit fuelled by coffee, churning out new work like a human art machine. Is that the reality?
Right. And how do you take your coffee?
Espresso and a 'lil cold milk - because I'm lukewarm.

Koefte DeVille - Mad Sin © Nondo
We shuffle into the Garage sheepishly, noticeably under-dressed without a Mohawk between us. UK band Coffin Nails are on stage, preaching to the converted. In this case, a rabble of colourful psychobilly Mohawks, customised leopard-print jackets and studded faces. The female members of the congregation look haunting, in '50s, vampire Bettie Page getups.

Coffin Nails look the part and their take on things sounds pretty legit. But thanks to a combination of fat dick jokes and stupid lyrics, the "gravest band in the world" come off cartoon and comical. Not exactly what you're looking for when it comes to dark and sinister.
When Coffin Nails are done, Mad Sin appear from the shadows to set themselves up. The change over's the quickest I've ever seen. Because at 10:00pm, the Garage turns back into a pumpkin: the psychos get kicked out, the cobwebs get dusted and the staff brace themselves for another club night. Bizarre, I know. Usually, I'd imagine Mad Sin wiping the sleep from their eyes at 10:00pm, ready for their morning bottle of whiskey.

For an enormous dude, Koefte DeVille's surprisingly agile, popping shirt buttons as he kicks his leg up high above his head and bashes his face with his tambourine. Still, by song two he's pouring sweat and out of breath between songs. But when the band's in full swing, he doesn't miss a note - his personality and stage persona dwarfing his giant frame.
In the middle of the crowd, fat, sweaty, bald dudes with no shirts on punch at thin air. By now, Mad Sin have whipped up the fiercest, most unappealing-looking prison moshpit this side of a Ted Nugent show. They're gonna be sweeping up teeth tonight...
© Vipa
"In case you're wondering what happened to our drummer Andy, he got a hearing loss," says DeVille with a stunned, unsympathetic look on his face. "Apparently, we're too loud for him. Ha ha... This is Matthaeus," he concludes, pointing at the band's hard-working new drummer, who raises a stick in salute. Guitarist Stein just stands there, like the corpse of James Dean.
At the end, bassist Valle is denied his usual pyrotechnics by UK Health & Safety. And instead, he settles for a solo standing on DeVille's head. Suddenly, the lights are on and angry-looking staff are herding psychos out the door. It seems unreal. In an hour's time there'll be no traces left. Still, I knew they'd be good - they've been going since 1987 - but Mad Sin were incredible.

A teenage boy from Lincoln, UK died in an explosion after using hairspray on a 3D printer, igniting flammable flash paper.
17 year-old schoolboy Tom Taylor died in a tragic accident after flash paper from his family's online magic business ignited. Taylor had used hairspray on a reportedly "low-end" 3D printer bought just several months previously.
The teenager was working on a school art project when the explosion occurred. The verdict of the inquest was an accidental death, and the coroner asked for lessons to be learned.
Senior coroner for Lincolnshire, Stuart Fisher, made a statement:
"It appears Tom's use of hairspray on a 3D printer in a small office resulted in a significant build up of propane. Unfortunately, either an electric spark or the hot plate of the 3D printer ignited the propane and caused a flash of super heated gases. The initial ignition then ignited flash paper which was stored in very close proximity to the 3D printer. The result was a devastating fire in which Tom tragically lost his life."
Inquest Hears Taylor's Explosion Tragedy
The inquest heard how Taylor tried to escape through the back office, but collapsed after inhaling fumes. Attempts to rescue him failed and he died from smoke inhalation. His body was recovered from the home where his family lived and ran their online magic business, "MagicNevin".
Fire investigator Ian Woods explained the role of flash paper in the explosion. The inquest heard that UK guidance states that the highly flammable paper should be stored in a robust container, away from living areas. It should also be destroyed after two years.
The hearing was told that there was no evidence of Taylor's family following this guidance. However, the family will not face prosecution given the circumstances of the tragic accident.
The officer offers a word of advice worth taking into account. He said: "We believe Tom used hairspray on a 3D printer after watching a video online. This is an extremely unsafe practice which I advise against wholeheartedly."

Product Information
Hi Viz, quilted down like gilet.
Reflective prints and trim front and back for optimum visibility. Invisible zipped rear double vents. Reflective zipped lower pockets. Two way centre front zip. Machine washable.
Reasons to wear Hi-Viz;
• It gives drivers a valuable 3 seconds extra reaction time - the length of a standard size dressage arena for a car travelling at 30mph
• It means helicopter pilots can see a rider up to half a mile sooner and so avoid flying straight over the top of horse and rider
• In the unfortunate event that you are thrown from your horse in open countryside, emergency services will see you much clearer
• Others using the countryside will see you too!
With thanks to the British Horse Society

Today, I called Tech Support because the computer program wouldn't let me open files for my online classes. After an hour, and being walked through the downloading process multiple times. There was a pause and he said "You're a F*ing idiot." and hung up. It still won't work. FML
Today, I had a pretty big erection while getting checked out at the airport. The security guard was scanning my potentially "dangerous" erection for at least one long minute in front of my wife, kids, and 20 people behind me. FML
Today, I was at the extremely crowded gym when someone came up behind me and shouted in my ear scaring the living shit out of me. I jump into a karate pose in front of everyone. No one was behind me. It was a new song starting on my headphones. A trainer asked me if I needed an ambulance. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I could join my friends in getting lessons in self defense. My mom told me that I didn't need them because my face was a better weapon to repel anyone. FML

Abvent Artlantis Studio 22.214.171.124 Multilingual MacOSX | 656.93 MB
The new, physically correct Artlantis 6 rendering engine, with its legendary simplicity, allows you to create visualizations of an incomparable beauty and quality. To create stunning images, Artlantis 6 now includes its own built-in physical engine, emphasizing physical rendering quality, precision, material accuracy, and energy consumption.
White Balance
White Balance allows you to adjust the dominant color of a scene to the ambient lighting. Simply set this new parameter to automatic color mode or select a reference color, which will be recognized as white in the 3D scene.
Ambient occlusion
This new option in Artlantis allows users to display a global ambient occlusion to create virtual shadows in small areas where natural light doesnt go. It brings more depth and relief to both interior and exterior scenes.
White model
During calculation, white model rendering changes all surfaces to white except for those that are transparent. Lights maintain their color for sophisticated environments.
Choose among many pre-set modes (indoor, outdoor, low light) and different definitions (speed, medium, quality), to quickly set the best results!
Artlantis offers two illumination methods: Automatic Light Adjustment and ISO/Shutter. By choosing the Automatic Light Adjustment setting, the lights and neon power used in the scene are automatically adjusted to the sky and sun illumination
IES Lights
By default, Artlantis offers 8 IES pre-set profiles. Artlantis 6 now allows you to import downloaded IES profiles from manufacturers websites. These files are used to simulate realistic illumination of your projects. For even greater flexibility, Artlantis 6 allows you to easily edit the brightness, color, direction and opening angle.
Artlantis now fully compatible with HDRI files, for the background and for the global illumination. The enhanced sky function in the engine settings increases the photorealism of the images.
Neon shader
In addition, neon lights have been completely updated for this version with considerable gains in terms of quality and calculation speed.
Site insertion
When using the site insertion feature, Artlantis 6 offers a new and simple projection process with more accurate calculations. After aligning the XYZ axis in the 2D view and in the preview window, the model is easily positioned on the background image. A revolutionary integrated tool allows you to add transparency to a foreground image directly in Artlantis to enhance the quality of your projects.
Integrated Alpha Mask Editor
This revolutionary tool allows you to add transparency to a foreground image directly in Artlantis to enhance the quality of your projects.
Laser projection
With a simple click on the reference plane in the preview window, you set the position and orientation of the projection of the laser. A red line projected 360 in the model allows you to automatically position the objects or textures.
Catalog & Media
Accessing the Artlantis Media Store is now done with a single click. To customize your catalog, Artlantis 6 lets you freely create your own folders at level 2. New selection features allow you to view recently used media, shaders and objects already in the project or those added to the selection. Thanks to the drop-drop tool, you can insert random media from the selection into the project with every click of the mouse.
