In the massively popular Cartoon Network series "Adventure Time," veteran voice actor Tom Kenny plays Ice King, a curmudgeonly wizard who lives in a snow fortress with a legion of penguins and whichever princess he has most recently kidnapped. For Kenny, the Ice King is the latest in a long line of zany characters; during his 20-plus years in the industry, he has lent his voice to more than 200 productions, including such landmark series as "Rocko's Modern Life," "Dexter's Laboratory," "The Powerpuff Girls" and "SpongeBob SquarePants," in which he played SpongeBob.
Like those groundbreaking predecessors, "Adventure Time" has earned a loyal audience by defying the tropes typical to children's television shows. The series, created by Pendleton Ward, follows Finn, a human boy, and Jake, his magical shape-shifting dog, as they fight monsters and rescue princesses in a whimsical, post-apocalyptic candyland. Monday's episode focused on the Ice King's fan fiction adventures of Fionna and Cake — girl versions of the show's heroes in a gender-inverted story-within-a-story.
Hero Complex caught up with Kenny to talk about the villainous Ice King, the popularity of Fionna and Cake, and his prolific career.
HC: "Adventure Time" has become so popular, and not just among children.
TK: Yeah, and that's something I'm kind of familiar with from my past. It's pretty amazing how it's just blown up and in the best way, just kind of a gradual word-of-mouth way that I think is really more about the content of the show and the connection that people feel with it than anything else.
HC: Did you have any idea the show would become such a phenomenon?
TK: Well, I guess you could say a little bit, because my son, who's now 15, some of his friends had watched the original short on YouTube hundreds of times, and this is before it was picked up by any network. So there was something about that particular short and the characters of Finn and Jake, and the relationship that they had, and the banter between them, as well as the outrageousness of the world that they were inhabiting, and that tantalizing glimpse that you got of it in that short that really spoke to them. They thought it was really funny and cool and interesting, so before it was a glimmer in Cartoon Network's eye, I kind of knew about it through my teenage son. That was a few years ago. This thing has been gestating for a while, I guess like most things that seem like they came out of nowhere, there's usually a much slower build than people realize that's occurred. So that was kind of circling the airport, waiting to land as a show for a little while, and when it finally got on Cartoon Network, it's kind of been a steady build. And I see it reflected in things like the size and response of the audience at something like San Diego Comic-Con.
HC: There have been so many "Adventure Time" costumes at Comic-Con the past few years!
TK: Yeah, exactly. And that's a real bellwether that you can use for this kind of pop-cultural stuff. How many Ice Kings came to my door at Halloween this year? How many Finns, Jakes and Ice Kings came to my door as trick-or-treaters — I'm sure there's some mathematical formula you can work out in terms of how well the show is doing. But I love that it's one of those things that people are still finding out about. There are still people just getting acquainted with it that are jumping aboard and going, "Yeah, wow. I heard about it," or "My cousin was watching it," and then they go back in almost a "Star Trek" way, and just binge on it. It's really quite fun.
HC: Did you audition for the role of the Ice King? Or were you involved from the start?
TK: I did audition. The original short had a different actor playing the Ice King, not me — a guy named John Kassir, probably best known as the Crypt Keeper on the HBO series "Tales From the Crypt"; you know, a voiceover guy, one of us journeymen. For whatever reason, they were wanting to go in a different direction, so as usual with these things they were just listening to a ton of people audition. I think it was a pretty standard-issue story; I auditioned, I got called back, I came and met with the creator, and we did a couple of things. Pen [Ward] liked my approach, and the next thing I know, I'm five seasons in.
HC: How did you develop the Ice King's voice? It's so distinctive.
TK: I was trying not to voice-match the original one, which is kind of more high and reedy. I know he's old, he's cranky, [slipping into Ice King's voice] he thinks he's hip, he sort of tries to be all groovy and hip with the kids and speak their lingo. But the thing that I really got, even from the audition, and now that's been expanded upon even much, much more, is aside from like a big burlesque-y, funny, over-the-top weirdo villain, there's this core of loneliness and wanting to be friends with people, which he does not possess the requisite skills to be friends with anyone. You know, he's a control freak, he's lived alone too long, he's super self-obsessed. He actually sounds like a lot of the actors and comedians I know — kind of entertaining in small doses, but not good boyfriend or husband material, ha ha. So I guess I tapped into that.
HC: He's a very tragic character.
TK: I remember Pen Ward and I talking about that, and saying, "He's lonely." He's a guy who thinks that kidnapping a woman and keeping her in a cage and talking to her through the bars is fine. That's an acceptable form of dating. It's quality time. He doesn't realize how messed up and wrong that is. He's the kind of guy you see on like "48 Hours" investigations, or like those true crime shows. He just doesn't have any social skills and also is so insane and broken that he doesn't even have the self-knowledge to realize that what he's doing is wrong. And at the same time, he is powerful. He's not a weakling. He's not a powerless guy. He can summon up ice storms and ice balls and snow and weather and wind and lightning and all this stuff. So he's not a doofus, either. He's kind of unpredictable. I think the thing that sets him apart from the kind of villain that I've voiced on superhero kinds of shows, like Doctor Octopus in "Ultimate Spider-Man" or something like that, is that this guy is just kind of likeable and lonely and sad and pitiable. And then they've expanded largely on that, giving him a back story that I didn't even suspect at the time. Maybe they didn't either. But he kind of used to be a good guy with good relationships and empathy and kindness.
HC: So you didn't have that insight into your character's history ahead of time? You found out as the show went along?
TK: It's animation, so you kind of never know what's coming at you until FedEx brings the storyboard the night before the gig, and then you go, "Wooow, this is awesome!" You have a little less time to prepare than, say, Daniel Day-Lewis did for "Lincoln," ha ha. I was actually very surprised and continue to be at the expanding and the flashbacks.
HC: Some of the flashbacks are heartbreaking, like with Marceline in "I Remember You."
TK: Absolutely. I love that episode, and I love that the people making the show have the courage and the faith in their fan base to step outside of the usual, expected episode tropes and occasionally do one like that. There's really not a lot of yuks in that episode. It's a very sad episode. There's a lot of sorrow. I think that's great. It's fun to go in there and try to make that storyboard that you've read, and make it — at least in a vocal, oral, speaking sense — live and breathe, and hopefully invest it with all that good stuff that's on the page and in those drawings. Or I should say help it along and be one of the components that helps move it along. That's one of those ones that you're recording it and looking at the storyboard and going, "Yeah, I can't wait until the fans see this. How are they going to react?" Some people probably will be confused, some people will love it, some people won't be sure. Props to Cartoon Network, too, for letting the creators be creators.
HC: It seems that throughout your career, you've worked on a lot of shows that don't rely on the typical tropes.
TK: I've been very, very lucky and just fortunate in my work life, which when I look at the dates is longer than I realize, managing to just become affiliated with shows that are very creator driven. People like Joe Murray and Genndy Tartakovsky and Craig McCracken and people like that who are very have a vision and they know exactly what their show is, and they know exactly what they want it to look like, and they know exactly what they want it to sound like. And getting it to the air in that form is not easy. There's a million ways for it to go wrong and for it to go off track. There's more ways for it to go wrong than to go right. And so I've been very fortunate, and Pendleton Ward is definitely in that pantheon of people — like Genndy Tartakovsky with "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Samurai Jack" and all of that, and now look at him, he's a big Hollywood feature director. And Craig McCracken with "Powerpuff Girls." It's been great. They're actually shows that I like and enjoy and am proud to be associated with. Which is a luxury you don't always have as an actor to be like, "Wow, I would actually watch this thing that I'm in."
HC: Is there a project you're most proud of?
TK: I'm just happy to be working. Actors are basically migrant fruit pickers, and if the crops have been pretty good for a bunch of seasons, you're just very gratified and going, "Great, I'm still keeping it going. This train hasn't jumped of the rails yet!" My fantasy job was always to be a voiceover guy in animation, and so now that I've been doing that for a long time, it's still as much of a blast as ever …. I love that this show is popular, and that these people are here, and that these characters are warping the minds of young and old everywhere. It's really fun. I've got a really good job, and I feel like I'm pretty good at it, and it's really fulfilling artistically and fun, and it works for me on a bunch of levels. You can be a successful actor without the more horrible aspects of being famous.
HC: You've played SpongeBob and the Ice King and Doctor Octopus and Zilius Zox. Do you prefer playing heroes or villains?
TK: They're both fun in their own way. I've done Iron Man and Captain America, and I've even been Spider-Man. I've done a lot of good guys and a lot of bad guys. I guess the thing that I enjoy with that is not being pigeonholed 100% as either. It's really fun to be the hero, and the great thing about the animation voiceover job is that you don't have to look like a superhero to be playing one, so that's really great. But I get to go in for a little more opportunities for plummy, over-the-top antics. The good guys are more often the straight men in their own show a lot of times, and then the villains bring the crazy. I mean, Dick Tracy was the dullest guy in his own comic strip. And all the villains were just really over-the-top, physically deformed, interesting sickos. So it's fun to play the malformed mutant sicko, too.
HC: When you're making the show, do you record with the other artists all together? Does that make a difference in your performance?
TK: Generally, yeah. To me it does. I much, much, much prefer to be in the same room with everybody, and maybe that's because all the stuff that's been really seminal for me was recorded that way. You know, "Looney Tunes" and "Rocky and Bullwinkle," all that classic stuff, "Flintstones" and "Jetsons." That stuff was all done with all the actors in a room, crushed around a mic like 1940s radio show-style. To me, that still works. Some shows do it the other way, and features definitely do it the other way. But standing in a room by yourself just reading your half of a conversation, or trading lines with a voice director or a casting director that's reading in for the other person, it's fine, it's doable, it's painless. But there's really no substitute for having a bunch of people around a mic, and riffing with each other and playing off each other. Jeremy Shada and John DiMaggio are in the room, and it's really preferable for me, personally. "Adventure Time" is recorded a little differently than some shows, in that a storyboard is projected on a TV in the room, so you're looking at least a shorthand story.
HC: It seems like your lines wouldn't make sense without that visual guide.
TK: Well, not on "Adventure Time," or "SpongeBob" for that matter. Some shows are more word-oriented or prose-oriented, but "Adventure Time" is so out there that it really helps to see what's happening, instead of just saying the words and only having a vague sense or having to have somebody on the other side of the glass explain what's happening — "The door opens, and then a demon comes out, and then another little guy comes out of the demon's face …." To me, "Adventure Time" is really about the world and the relationships. I remember as a teenager reading this Harlan Ellison story called "A Boy and His Dog" about a kid and his telepathic dog, wandering a post-apocalyptic world. When I saw that first "Adventure Time," it made me remember that. It kind of was a combination of that and "Mad Max" and "The Simpsons," in that it's a really populated world with tons of people in it, and once in a while the show will take a turn, and you'll get to see more of these people that you've really only seen in passing. It's the same way in Springfield [home of "The Simpsons"]; you see one of those posters of everyone who's ever been on the show, and you're like, "Wow this is a really well-realized world that's packed with people," and it's just kind of been added to over the years. And that's kind of how "Adventure Time" is. It's gone from just being Finn and Jake and Ice King and Princess Bubblegum to this really large extended universe of weird, interesting things. And some you've just got these tantalizing glimpses of, and then you get to go more in-depth.
HC: So the name-changing penguin gag — Gunter, Günter, Gunther — was that your idea?
TK: No, it wasn't, there was some confusion. The script had an umlaut over the U, so I'd always call him "Goon-ter." And then sometimes it wouldn't have an umlaut , and I'd just say "Gun-ther." So then I was like, "How have I been saying this word? I'm having a brain fart," and they go, "You know what, there are a whole bunch of penguins with really similar names." And I go, "Oh, there are?" And they say, "Yeah, now there are." And they all say, "Wenk." In the script, it's always written that way.
HC: Do you do any of the voices in the gender-flip episodes?
TK: Yeah, I'm various characters. Obviously there's the Ice Queen in that reality. That was kind of fun. They had me do my lines, and then Grey DeLisle parrots them back as the Ice King would, and Grey does her brilliant takes. So that has really taken off. There were Fionnas coming to my door for Halloween. There were girls making their own Fionna costumes, and it was great. I love it. And I love that she's big-boned for a change on TV.
HC: Why do you think people love these gender-swapping episodes so much?
TK: I was trying to figure that out. That episode really did surprise everybody with the gigantic response — "Please do more of these!" — and now there's a Fionna and Cake comic book series. I think the show has a lot of fans of both genders. I don't think it's really a "boys' show" or a "girls' show." I think people just love seeing that gender flip. Maybe it speaks to the lack of animated shows with strong female heroes in them. Maybe there is a shortage.
HC: Has there really been once since the "Power Puff Girls"?
TK: Exactly! Of course, that's what I immediately thought of. "Power Puff Girls" is right there, right place, right time with the girl power zeitgeist. I think a lot of those female fans enjoy seeing those strong, funny female characters. Yeah, why should all the strong, funny characters be male? But "Adventure Time" is one of the few shows that does have really strong, well-realized female characters. Princess Bubblegum, like the Ice King, I think she's progressed into something quite a bit different than she was at the beginning — much darker, way more control-freaky and bossy and sure of herself. And Flame Princess is great and a really strong character. Marceline obviously is both a fan favorite and a really strong character, and it's interesting that Flame Princess and Marceline both have major issues with their fathers, I've been noticing in the scripts. I don't know what that means. [The gender flip episodes are] kind of like getting back to "Star Trek." My kids and I just watched that episode where there's a transporter malfunction and crew members from like the alternate universe wind up on the Enterprise, and they're super evil, and they have facial hair. This must be evil, Spock has a goatee! So I think that kind of thing has always been popular. In an alternate universe timeline, what are these characters saying or doing or thinking? But it's really a brilliant gender inversion of the series. It's almost like its own series. It's kind of different enough that it actually could be its own show.
HC: It has a very different feel.
TK: Yeah, and a lot of that probably has to do with having actually female writers and artists having a huge hand in those episodes, which, unfortunately, is not as common as you would want in the boys club of television in general and animation in particular.
HC: So what's next for the Ice King?
TK: I can't say too much about it, but there are more revelations. You'll probably feel a little sorry for him and hate him a little less. I'm always excited kind of look into his old photo album and see what's been up with myself.
idk I'm not too keen on the genderswap eps but I'm not a fan of NPH or Donald Glover, I do love Fionna and Cake though

| 8.4°C Belfast
Insurgents have launched a rocket attack on the main coalition military base in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.
The heavily fortified Camp Bastion, which accommodates up to 4,000 UK, American, Danish and Estonian troops, was targeted at about 6.30pm local time as darkness fell on Wednesday.
A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "We can confirm that a rocket attack against Camp Bastion took place on February 27, 2013. No significant damage or casualties have been reported as a result of this incident."
Multiple explosions could be heard minutes after the IDF (indirect fire) alarm sounded inside the sprawling desert base. Forty minutes later the all-clear was announced and troops were directed to search their immediate area for unexploded ordnance and casualties.
This latest attack comes as UK forces Helmand prepare to hand over to the next deploying brigade in what is known as the RIP (relief in place). Last September two US Marines were killed and six Harrier jets destroyed after militants breached the perimeter fence and attacked through the airfield on Camp Bastion.
The Taliban said Prince Harry who was in theatre as an Apache helicopter pilot at the time, was the intended target but Nato officials said the young royal was never in any danger. Insurgents claimed the attack which resulted in a four-hour fire-fight that has become known as the 'Battle of Bastion' was in response to an amateur US-made film mocking Islam.
Last March US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta also escaped injury after an attempted suicide bomb attack as his plane touched down at Camp Bastion. A locally employed civilian worker stole a vehicle and tried to drive towards the runway while setting himself alight.
In 2007 a suicide bomber detonated a device at the perimeter gate but the vast blast walls prevented any injuries to service personnel.
Camp Bastion, an isolated 37km by 67km base is in the middle of Helmand's inhospitable desert. Its location was specifically selected so that coalition forces could see for miles from all angles. It is also protected from the air.
When it was built in 2006 it was completely remote. However, more recently compounds have sprung up in the unoccupied land surrounding the base which have been exploited by the Taliban elements.

Complete Story
In the Box: Hot Chips
By: Todd Spangler, Multichannel News
Soon cable operators will be able to fire up scads of bandwidth for subscribers, with even faster next-generation DOCSIS 3.0 gear in the pipeline. And beyond just raw speed, the technology may provide the industry a clean path to Internet protocol-based video services.
Two key suppliers of cable modem silicon components, Broadcom and Texas Instruments, are now delivering chips that can bond eight downstream channels together in a single DOCSIS 3.0 device.
What that means: The industry could soon see cable modems capable of transmitting upward of 400 Megabits per second to a single subscriber.
But the oodles of bandwidth won't necessarily be for Internet access alone. First, that's because there isn't likely to be much consumer demand for a broadband service with that kind of speed within the next several years, given the top bandwidth tiers available today are 50-Mbps downstream services from Verizon Communications and Comcast.
To wit, video over IP is one of the more intriguing applications for "8-by-4" DOCSIS 3.0 consumer-premises equipment (meaning it provides up to eight downstream and four upstream channels).
The DOCSIS 3.0 space is moving away from a "two-product market" — i.e., cable modems and embedded multimedia terminal adapters — to universal services gateways, said Peter Percosan, executive director of broadband strategy for Texas Instruments' Digital Connected Home business.
"We're moving toward a universal services gateway that handles everything: voice, video, data and other IP services," he said. "Everything that sits in the digital realm that goes out over the network comes to the gateway in the home."
Motorola has developed a DOCSIS 3.0-based transport gateway that will use eight downstream channels and allow an operator to split those between video and data to "mix and match any way you choose," said Chris Kohler, director of engineering for Motorola's broadband home solutions group. The gateway device tunes to MPEG-2 video and then encapsulates it in IP for delivery over the home network — to either IPTV set-top boxes, a personal computer or some other device.
According to Kohler, on most dual-tuner cable set-top boxes, both tuners are in use less than 50% of the time. "So it makes sense to take those underutilized resources and move them into a gateway," he said. "That's when we really see the need for eight downstream bonded channels."
Motorola has also developed a version of its transport gateway built to the specifications of Time Warner Cable's Santa Monica project, which provides a gateway with storage for personal content, such as music and photos.
In Motorola's implementation, the gateway shares content using the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) protocols and provides media sharing using Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standards.
"We've been working with major MSOs on these kinds of projects," Kohler said.
Arris has DOCSIS 3.0 gateway prototypes of its own. "Over time there will be markets for all permutations of gateways as the operators in our space are addressing multiple screens in the home," said Bruce McClelland, president of Arris's broadband communications systems group.
On the other hand, there's a school of thought that if an 8-by-4 cable modem is approximately the same cost as a 4-by-4 modem, deploying the higher-capacity device is a no-brainer.
Cisco has gateway designs, but it's also developing a cable voice modem that will use Broadcom's recently announced DOCSIS 3.0 integrated CPE chip. Cisco hopes to submit the first DPC3212 eMTA to CableLabs for qualification in the first quarter of 2009, and the unit is expected to be shipping in volume by the middle of 2010, Cisco cable solutions marketing manager Ben Bekele said.
The DPC3212 will support two phone lines and provide data rates of more than 300 Mbps downstream and about 120 Mbps upstream. Cisco is currently shipping two DOCSIS 3.0 CPE products, the DPC3000 cable modem and DPC3202 eMTA, which both use Texas Instruments' Puma 5 chip set.
While a cable operator wouldn't necessarily introduce a 300- or 350-Mbps Internet tier initially, that latent capacity would be available down the line, Bekele noted. "As long as the cost is comparable, you'll see a lot of operators gravitate toward 8 by 4," he said.
He added, however, that right now Cisco is not exactly sure how the cost of the DPC3212 would compare with current DOCSIS 3.0 models.
The forthcoming Cisco DPC3212 would be among the first to use Broadcom's BCM3380 DOCSIS 3.0 modem chip. Cisco also plans to incorporate Broadcom's DOCSIS 3.0 physical layer (PHY) component in its next-generation cable modem termination system.
Jay Kirchoff, senior director of product marketing for Broadcom, acknowledged that the company took longer than expected to deliver its DOCSIS 3.0 silicon. But, he said, the company spent the time to provide a highly integrated product, which includes the upstream power amplifier, Gigabit Ethernet physical layer and the tuners on a single chip.
"We've created a design that has a very low component count," Kirchoff said. As a result, Broadcom claims, the bill of materials is much smaller, resulting in a modem whose cost is comparable to a 4-by-4 unit.
"If it's not a cost-premium, why wouldn't you buy the best?" Kirchoff said.
Motorola's Kohler, however, believes there's going to be a very long lifespan for 4-by-4 cable modems and eMTAs, which provide a theoretical maximum of 160 Mbps downstream bandwidth.
"Most of the MSOs looking at DOCSIS 3.0 data modems are going to max out around 50 Mbps service, at least in the short term," he said.
To be sure, the driving force in the future for higher-speed broadband will be video over DOCSIS, whether that's managed video content or unmanaged content going over the top, Bekele said.
Cisco has predicted that the annual bandwidth demand on the world's Internet networks will nearly double every two years — reaching 522 Exabytes annually in 2012 (the equivalent of 250 million DVDs) — and that half of that will be video traffic.
"That's going to make it more likely that operators will push the tiers higher," Bekele said. "That ability to leapfrog to eight channels definitely becomes an advantage."
At some point, there could be a 16-downstream-channel DOCSIS 3.0 device, or perhaps even more. Microtune's MT2170 tuner already supports 96 MHz of bandwidth, or 16 6-MHz channels.
Microtune cable marketing manager Cliff Anderson said the issue right now is that the demodulator chips can't process that much bandwidth yet. "But if you want to get to 1 Gigabit per second," he said, "the technology supports that."

30 million in path of winter storm moving into Central Plains
(CNN) -- Wednesday, February 20th was not the day to write a travel brochure for Springfield, Missouri. Among the hazards expected there: lightning, wind and ice. And let's throw a little snow and sleet on top for good measure.
It's all part of a massive winter storm that promises to blanket a huge swath of the nation in crazy weather, from 18 inches of snow or more in Kansas to thunderstorms and flooding rain along the Gulf coast.
In all, about 800,000 square miles in 18 states were under some form of watch or warning Wednesday related to a major storm pouring out of California and into the Central Plains and the Midwest, CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller said.
The biggest threat of heavy snow lies in parts of Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, with the possibility of whiteout conditions in some places, he said.
In Kansas, where the storm had already started, the National Weather Service was predicting as much as 18 inches of snow. The agency said parts of Nebraska could see more than a foot of snow, with drifts making some roads impassable.
Forecasters were predicting as much as 2 inches of snow in St. Louis, with the precipitation turning into sleet and freezing rain Thursday. The conditions will have "a significant impact on travel," the weather service warned.
North of where the biggest snow will fall, Chicago could receive what would be its largest single snowfall of the year -- 4 inches, Miller said. The city usually gets up to 4 feet of snow a year. So far this year, only about a foot has fallen, he said.
South of the snow belt, dangerously icy conditions are possible in parts of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, he said. That includes Springfield, where windy conditions will precede the possibility of up to 3 inches of snow and sleet Thursday, with the possibility of a quarter of an inch or more of ice to boot.
Elsewhere, severe thunderstorms moving in from the Gulf of Mexico are expected to dump from 2 to 6 inches of rain over New Orleans, Louisiana, and Montgomery, Alabama, according to CNN's weather center, before rolling up toward Atlanta.
The torrential rains could lead to significant river flooding near the Gulf, as flood watches are still in effect from last week's heavy rains.
Heavy winds, hail and tornadoes are possible, the National Weather Service says. Downpours are expected to continue into Friday.
Tuesday night, the same storm forced the temporary closure of some stretches of highway northeast of Los Angeles, stranding some motorists until highway crews and police were able to battle through the snow and clear the backlog.
"The snow came in hard and heavy," said Officer Ed Smith of the California Highway Patrol.

Why Use a Qualified Contractor?
Contractors come in all shapes and sizes, with varying degrees of experience and expertise. But when it comes to energy efficient installations, retrofits and building, make sure you choose a qualified professional who has the knowledge and training to do the job safely and effectively. You're in safe hands with RESNET EnergySmart Contractors.
- Trained Professionals: RESNET Qualified EnergySmart Contractors are experts in their individual trades and have additional training in safe energy efficient practices. When errors such as improper venting could lead to illness and even death for your family, you want to know that you're working with a trained professional who knows the risks - and how to prevent them. EnergySmart Contractors receive continuing education on an annual basis in order to stay on top of the latest developments in energy efficiency and safety.
- Effectiveness: While ordinary contractors are focused on their specific trade, RESNET Qualified EnergySmart Contractors think of the house as a set of interconnected systems. They understand how a change in one system can affect another, and they know how to avoid any dangerous mishaps.
- Save Money: A job done by a professional who is specially trained in energy efficiency will save you more energy, resulting in lower energy bills each month. Even the most energy efficient windows will still leak air if they're installed incorrectly.
- Complaint Resolution Process: RESNET has developed a complaint resolution process for consumers who believe that their contractor has acted outside the RESNET Code of Ethics. When you work with a RESNET member, you have the confidence of knowing that RESNET is standing behind you.
There are a number of things that distinguish RESNET qualified EnergySmart Contractors from all others. First of all, they have the knowledge and training to carry out energy efficient retrofits and building projects in a safe and efficient manner. Secondly, when you work with a RESNET EnergySmart Contractor, you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that they:
- Have valid licensing and insurance
- Have successfully completed RESNET approved energy efficiency training
- Have passed a RESNET administered exam
- Conduct annual continuing education courses in their trades
- Maintain a RESNET membership in good standing
Energy efficient training and exam subjects include:
- Principles of energy
- Cost effective energy efficient practices
- The house as an inter-related system
- Combustion safety
- Order that work must be carried out for optimal safety and effectiveness

Former Newtown man pleads guilty to wire fraud
Garrett L. Denniston, 62, formerly of Newtown and Boothbay Harbor, Maine, waived his right to indictment and pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven to one count of wire fraud stemming from his operation of an alleged multimillion-dollar investment fraud scheme.
"This defendant operated an investment fraud scheme by representing to investors that he ran a successful investment business and could offer them a special 'friends and family' deal investing in companies for a guaranteed return of their investment plus a high rate of interest," stated U.S. Attorney David B. Fein. Denniston could not deliver on those representations, Fein said, or on other statments he made to investors.
In reality, Fein's press release said, Denniston did not invest his victims' funds in stock options or in any other legitimate investments. Rather, he spent the money on his own personal and business expenses, as well as for other unauthorized uses. Denniston allegedly used some money for gifts to family members and spent additional amounts on airfare, hotels, restaurants, country club memberships, golf and ski outings, mortgage and rent payments, cable and telephone bills, furniture, home renovation costs and other personal expenses.
Through this investment scheme, Denniston allegedly defrauded more than 50 victims out of a total of more than $2.5 million. Individual investment amounts ranged from a few thousand dollars to nearly $500,000, Fein's release said.
Denniston allegedly concealed his fraudulent activities by preparing fake legal documents and forging signatures on those documents. At times, he also used one investor's funds to repay other investors, Fein's press release said.
Denniston has been detained since his arrest Sept. 19, 2012.
Judge Arterton has scheduled sentencing for June 11, 2013, at which time Denniston faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Connecticut Securities, Commodities and Investor Fraud Task Force and the Greenwich Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Kerry L. Quinn.
The Connecticut Securities, Commodities and Investor Fraud Task Force investigates matters relating to insider trading, market manipulation, Ponzi schemes, investor fraud, financial statement fraud, violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and embezzlement. The Task Force includes representatives from the U.S. Attorney's Office; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation; U.S. Secret Service; U.S. Postal Inspection Service; U.S. Department of Justice's Criminal Division, Fraud Section and Antitrust Division; U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC); Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP); Office of the Chief State's Attorney; State of Connecticut Department of Banking; Greenwich Police Department and Stamford Police Department.
Citizens are encouraged to report any financial fraud schemes by calling the toll-free number, 855-236-9740, or by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

In gay rights cases, spotlight will be on Kennedy
When the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments Tuesday and Wednesday about same-sex marriage rights, Justice Anthony Kennedy will be scrutinized for his every word, sigh and twitch.
Since the earliest whispers of the issue reaching the nation's high court, it has been Kennedy's vote that both sides figured they must court most. The former California federal appeals court judge is considered the center of a court otherwise equally divided between liberals and conservatives.
And if there is an issue likely to splinter liberals and conservatives, it is gay marriage.
"To look at the larger question here, whether the court is ready (to decide the central issues in same-sex marriage), the question is -- is Kennedy?" said John Eastman, a conservative law professor and head of the National Organization for Marriage.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear the legal challenge to California's Proposition 8, the 2008 voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage. The justices are reviewing a federal appeals court ruling that declared the law unconstitutional because it stripped away a previous right of same-sex couples to marry in the Golden State.
On Wednesday, the court will hear arguments in the challenge to the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal benefits, from Social Security to tax status, to gay and lesbian couples. A federal appeals court struck down the law last year in a New York case, concluding the federal government cannot deny benefits to same-sex couples in states that legalize gay marriage.
For all the attention on Kennedy, legal experts say there are so many scenarios for the court in both cases, from issuing a sweeping decision on gay marriage to resolving the cases on narrow procedural grounds, that all nine of the justices bear watching. Four of the court's members, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, have no judicial precedent on gay rights thus far.
Many legal experts are tracking Roberts, who surprised conservatives last year when he cast the deciding vote to uphold President Barack Obama's health care laws. But for the most part, the justices are expected to split along traditional lines.
"Are there any wild cards?" asked Jane Schachter, a Stanford University law professor. "I doubt it, among that group."
Kennedy's role in the two cases surpasses ideology. He has authored the two most recent Supreme Court decisions supporting gay rights, perhaps the key precedents in arguments over whether gay marriage bans are constitutional.
In Lawrence v. Texas, Kennedy in 2003 wrote the 6-3 majority opinion striking down a Texas anti-sodomy criminal statute, saying the law targeted gays' private conduct and served no legitimate government purpose. To much notice, Justice Antonin Scalia dissented, warning Kennedy's reasoning could eventually be used to argue for same-sex marriage.
And in 1996, Kennedy wrote the majority opinion in Romer v. Evans, which found unconstitutional a Colorado law that denied anti-discrimination protections to gays and lesbians.
In briefs filed in this week's marriage cases, lawyers for same-sex couples and the Obama administration rely heavily on Romer and Lawrence to urge the Supreme Court to find gays and lesbians should have a legal right to marry. And therefore they rely heavily on Kennedy's precedent.
"Romer and Lawrence were the only two cases advancing gay rights in American history, and they were both written by Anthony Kennedy," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of UC Irvine's law school.
While Romer and Lawrence are being heavily debated for their potential influence on the same-sex marriage cases, there is another Supreme Court precedent at the heart of the legal arguments. It is the court's 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia, which found bans on interracial marriage unconstitutional.
Lawyers for gay marriage opponents have argued in their briefs that the same-sex marriage cases are distinct from Lawrence, Romer and Loving. In fact, they argue that Loving is different because it involved heterosexual couples who could procreate, one of the key reasons they say same-sex marriage bans are justified.
"The fundamental right to marry recognized by this court in Loving ... was tied to the unique procreative capacity of opposite-sex unions," former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III wrote in one brief.
To legal experts, the Supreme Court's reliance on those key, historic cases may depend on whether the justices are ready to resolve the gay marriage controversy now, with so many states still bitterly divided on the issue.
"A common refrain is that the Supreme Court should only issue decisions that are durable," said Marc Spindelman, an Ohio State University law professor. "It looks like the winds of change are moving in one direction now. But it still might be too soon for the court."

Change Agent Book
"Change Agent, is a TIMELESS MASTERPIECE!"
-S. Turner, Atlanta, Georgia
"This book is a needed word for everyone! Thank you for your obedience."
-L.G., Shreveport, LA
Every person has a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether you are a CEO, housewife, student, manager or church leader, you have a circle of influence. Os Hillman's new book, Change Agent, helps you understand how to be a person of influence and why God is calling men and women to be change agents in culture. Hillman provides in-depth understanding of why America is losing its moral compass and what must be done to recapture it. He helps individuals understand the processes God uses to raise up His change agents in culture as found in biblical biographies like David, Daniel, Esther, and Moses to name a few. He also profiles modern-day change agents and how they have shaped culture and what we must do to have greater influence. Age, social status and financial resources are not necessary requirements to be a change agent. Hillman shows you how you can be a change agent right where you are. Hillman also says that "culture is shaped by the 7 mountains of cultural influence – business government, media, arts and entertainment, family, education and the church. "We thought we could shape culture just by getting more Christians in the culture. This has proven not to be true. Culture is shaped by a small percentage of leaders operating at the tops of these cultural mountains. Consequently it requires us to have greater influence at the tops of these culture shaping areas." Hillman features a chapter on each of the 7 cultural mountains and describes where we are and what we must do to influence these strategic areas.
Craig Hill of Family Foundations International shares his thoughts on Change Agent.
Al Caperna, CEO of CMC group shares his perspective of Os Hillman's book Change Agent.

"As a Christian we are called to be change agents. We are to be used of God to point people to Christ and let Him do the changing. If people are being changed, society and culture will be changed as well. Os Hillman does a great job of showing how we can be change agents of the Lord Most High in the realms of our life.-David Green Founder and C.E.O, Hobby Lobby
|"The Holy Spirit is very serious about calling forth an aggressive army of God to transform our society. One of the tangible indications of this fact can be seen in the remarkable mushrooming of superb literature on the subject. Os Hillman's Change agent is the latest and arguably the best transformation textbook now available. Let's regard this as our Operations Manual for pushing back the enemy and inviting God's kingdom to penetrate our society! Let's all get it, read it, digest it, and act on it! We can truly be change agents!" -C. Peter Wagner, Chancellor Emeritus
President, Global Harvest Ministries Founder and Chancellor Emeritus, Wagner Leadership Institute
"The book Change Agent provides both a map and the indispensable radar upgrade needed so that our days of "blind bombing" in prayer, evangelism and social activism can get recalibrated in expectation of hitting the target and having the impact we all intuitively know our message should carry. Os' latest book lays a foundation for personal and institutional impact that is both practical and paradigm jarring!"-Lance Wallnau, Lance Learning
"This book has tremendous insights for the new generation of change agents
"I am convinced that God is calling Christians to engage both people and social structures with His transforming Gospel. Over the years Os Hillman's books have inspired, challenged and equipped me for this task in my own business life. I would highly recommend 'Change agent' to every Christian who is serious about engaging strategically in God's call to a ministry of transformation and influence in all of the various spheres of society."-Graham Power, Chairman, The Power Group of Companies, Founder of the Global Day of Prayer & Unashamedly Ethical, Author of Transform Your Work Life
|"The Bible says to pray 'your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.' But what does that look like and what are Christians to do in the face of the dramatic moral decay of society today? Os Hillman answers those questions with a comprehensive blueprint for change agents. First, he grounds the reader in a biblical worldview framework for society. But, before he says "charge into the battle", he takes the reader through the refining process of character preparation. Finally, he paints the picture of how change agents can extend the kingdom on earth through the 7 Mountains of society. In this book, Os has given Christians an essential tool to equip them for God's call on their lives in one of the most tumultuous periods in history."-Dr. John Mulford, Director, Regent University Center for Entrepreneurship, Professor, School of Global Leadership and Entrepreneurship, Former Dean, School of Business
"Master story teller, Os Hillman, has written a book here that should be read by every layman in the country. It presents a good overview of the issues facing our culture today and what we as Christians can do about it. Also a great small group study for people who are willing to rethink many of the culture concepts they have been living with."-Ralph Palmen, Former President, Pinnacle Forum America
|"This book is very timely written as the world groans for the "sons and daughters to arise" as Change Agents to bring solutions to lives, society and nations. There is a prophesy that shall be fulfilled by a passionate group of Kingdom-minded leaders: "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" Revelation 11:15. I believe this book casts a vision for believers to impact our world as change agents in the seven mountains or kingdoms of influence. It will challenge and motivate the readers as it provides a track for understanding God's processes in the making of great leaders who as catalysts shall become Change Agents.-Pat Francis, Ph.D., Senior Pastor, Kingdom Covenant Center, Toronto
|"Os Hillman takes us on a fascinating journey of understanding our unique calling as God's Change Agent. He clearly identifies the steps that you will have to go through to impact your sphere of influence for Christ."-Kent Humphreys, Ambassador, FCCI / Christ@Work
"This book will liberate thousands of people who are in spheres of influences where they sense the call of God on their life and yet no one ever released them to the marketplace to be just what they were called to do…be a Change Agent. This has absolutely, truly blessed my socks off! I am excited for the readers who will glance into their destiny through this book. Outstanding!"-Dr. Cheryl A. Hill, D.Div. , President, God's Green Africa
|"Os Hillman's book offers a great explanation of where God's Kingdom has come from, where it is at, and where God is leading. Hillman does a masterful job of depicting heroes of the marketplace and other mountains while explaining how we all can become change agents.I recommend this book for all those who have prayed, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done."-Al Caperna, Director, call2all Business Network, CEO, CMC Group
"Not only does Os Hillman provide an honest and comprehensive view of today's culture, he shows us how we can significantly impact it by becoming God's change agent. Think you can't make a difference? Think again. This book will both challenge and encourage you to live a life greater than what you thought possible."-Larry Julian, Author of God is My CEO, God is My Success and God is My Coach
"Many marketplace leaders and others are tired of going to conferences and reading books that load them down with information. This book not only provides great biblical teaching in a relative and easily understood manner, it also provides great tools that can be immediately applied to bring change agents into their destinies and actually see transformation in their cities."-Ford Taylor, President, FSH Consulting Group, Co-founder Transformation Cincinnati/N. Kentucky
"More than any other, the concept of '7 Mountains' has captured the imagination of Christian leaders internationally. It would be important for us to hear what Os Hillman has to say. "-Landa Cope, Founding International Dean of the College of Communication for Youth With A Mission's University of the Nations
"I believe Os Hillman's book is part of a 'trumpet call' the Lord is making to His Church, especially in the West. Change agent is a call to action for Christians to put God's will and his kingdom ahead of selfish agendas. Transformation starts from within and this book inspires total surrender to God's will for our lives at the foot of the Cross, especially in areas of influence. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God wants us to 'blossom' for him wherever he has planted us. Os' latest book is a wonderful encouragement for us to live radical lives for Jesus Christ."-Gerard Long, President, Alpha USA
"In his book, Change Agent, Os Hillman combines extensive research, anecdotal referencing, and his personal experiences to deliver another profitable book to the Body of Christ. Those who desire to be a part of reforming our society will find this to be compelling reading."-Johnny Enlow, Pastor of Daystar Church in Atlanta, Author of The Seven Mountain Prophecy
"Os Hillman is one of the most recognized and respected marketplace leaders in the Christian Church today. He is a successful entrepreneur himself so he is especially qualified to teach us some of the practical and important principles of Christian entrepreneurship. I strongly recommend this helpful and encouraging book to you."-Paul Cedar, Chairman, Mission America Coalition
"Os Hillman has produced a profound and practical book that both informed and inspired me. This work will be a tremendous resource for those with a passion for cultural transformation. Well done!"-Wes Lane, Former District Attorney, Oklahoma City and author of "Amazingly Graced"
"Change Agent empowers everyone who desires to cause change. Written with a wealth of experience, this book should be a required reading for everyone who calls themselves a ministry and marketplace leader. I wish I had this book as a young man. Thank you, Os, for leading the way!"-Robert Watkins, President, Kings & Priests International
"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? – Psalm 11:3, This is the cry of many in our modern-day society, as we have seen the critical foundations of the seven cultural mountains destroyed right before our eyes. In his book, Change Agent, Os Hillman gives us reasons as to why and how these foundations have been destroyed, as well as very practical solutions regarding what we can do now to rebuild our society on solid biblical principles."-Craig Hill, Founder and President, Family Foundations International
"In recent years, we have heard about God's Last Days mandate for real, societal transformation. We have seen the glorious evidence of this societal work in pockets here and there. We have heard this mandate preached about at conferences and in churches. Os Hillman's important book, "Change Agent" will not only bring clarity and definition to this mandate, but it will blow the clarion call for what is the message of our generation! Os' book is filled with deep, biblical insight that will challenge and inspire you to move from the ordinary to the extraordinary. I believe it will soon become a leadership manual for change."-Paul L. Cuny, President, MarketPlace Leadership International, author of Secrets of the Kingdom Economy

MOSCOW - Russian officials gave mixed signals Tuesday over whether they needed to increase security at key sporting events like the World Athletics Championship and the 2014 Winter Olympics after explosions at Boston's marathon killed three people and wounded over 170.
The track and field championship, which takes place in Moscow on Aug. 10-18, is seen as a dress rehearsal for the 2014 Olympic games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
One top sports official said security was being beefed up but others said Russia's take on Olympic security was already very robust.
Officials will speak with the organizers of the Boston marathon to find out what more security precautions are needed, Mikhail Butov, secretary general of the Russian Athletics Federation, said Tuesday.
"Our security measures are tough as they are," Butov told The Associated Press. "But when it's clear what actually happened (in Boston), we will draw our own conclusions."
Federation President Valentin Balakhnichev told the Interfax news agency that the Boston bombings on Monday revealed "problems" in ensuring security at outdoors events and expressed concern that it may inspire "other organizers of terrorist attacks."
Police and security services in Moscow are gearing to up for "all possible emergencies" even though the athletics championships will be held in a confined space indoors at the Luzhniki Stadium.
"Safety, safety and safety is our priority," Alexander Polinsky, the head of the events department at the Moscow City Hall, said according to Interfax.
Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko described the attack in Boston as "a grave signal."
"Naturally, we're beefing up security measures," Mutko said in remarks carried by the R-Sport news agency. He defended the tough security measures Russian officials put in place at sporting events despite complaints by some foreign officials and athletes who consider them excessive.
Alexander Zhukov, head of the Russian Olympic Committee, said there would be no need to enhance Sochi's security after the Boston bombing, saying that "security measures in Sochi are already quite serious."
The Interior Ministry said in a statement Tuesday it has fully deployed the police force that would be in place during the Sochi Olympics and has conducted regular checks of all Olympic venues to make sure they are fully protected.
The ministry said it has paid particular attention to monitoring labourers who have worked at the Olympic construction sites. It added that security regime in Sochi will be further tightened starting June 1, but didn't elaborate on details.
Security precautions in Sochi were high and visible at international test events in January and February. Some athletes were bemused by what they described as unprecedented security measures, including patrols of guards with assault rifles as well as constant credentials checks.
From the entrance to the cable car at the foot of the mountain to the slopes at the top, security guards and volunteers checked credentials every step of the way. During a single journey, it wasn't unusual for a badge to be meticulously scrutinized at least a dozen times. Guards with assault rifles and German shepherds patrolled the sports venues in groups, although they tried to keep a low profile.
In February, Dmitry Chernyshenko, chief of the 2014 Sochi Organizing Committee, insisted that the security measures would be exactly the same during the games.
Some analysts have warned, however, that beefed-up police presence and rigorous security checks wouldn't be enough to fend off terror threats.
"They rely on forceful methods to ensure security, but that doesn't give a full guarantee," said Alexander Konovalov, head of the Institute of Strategic Assessment and Analysis, an independent think-tank.
He said international terror groups could be encouraged by the carnage in Boston to plot against the Sochi Olympics.
"The terrorists' strategy is to create a sense of panic and leave an impression that they can strike any target, no matter how tightly it's protected," Konovalov said. "The Olympics would make a highly desirable goal for terrorists, offering the maximum publicity. The media effect and panic would hugely multiply the impact of even a small explosion."
Sochi is in southern Russia, a region that has been destabilized by an Islamic insurgency that has spread after two separatist wars in Chechnya.
The Caspian Sea province of Dagestan, about 500 kilometres east of Sochi, is the current epicentre of the insurgency, where bombings and shootings targeting police and other officials occur almost daily. In recent years, however, militants focused on fighting authorities in the North Caucasus region and refrained from hitting the rest of Russia like they did in the past.
Ivan Melnikov, a lawmaker who sits on the board of the National Anti-Terror Committee, acknowledged that terrorists could be tempted to strike Sochi.
"Undoubtedly, the Sochi Olympics may face such threats," he said, according to Interfax, adding that Russian security agencies have the "resources to ensure security at the highest level."
Vladimir Isachenkov and Yelena Yegorova contributed to this report.

In what can be described as "a musical tour" of Cape Town, Design Indaba is putting on a host of musical experiences set in multiple spacious and intimate venues across as many musical genres as you would care to name, over three days.
"After last year's joint venture with Spain's Sónar festival, we set about thinking of ways to re-imagine a music festival for this year," said Design Indaba founder Ravi Naidoo. The result is the event's inaugural Design Indaba Music Circuit.
As with previous Design Indaba music events, the diverse line-up of acts includes long-established and rising musicians, producers and DJs. The deciding factor behind curation is that their art must be unique or pioneering in their chosen field of music and wholly representative of the "sound of South Africa".
Each venue has been handpicked as being true to its core audience. So whether it is absorbing the spectacle of South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela sharing the stage with American jazz-fusion rock pianist Larry Willis in the intimacy of The Mahogany Room jazz bar (tickets limited to 50), or getting sweaty on The Assembly's dance floor to 10SUI (UK), Spoek Mathambo, Haezer, Gazelle and Niskerone, the Design Indaba Music Circuit will cater to every musical taste.
Members of the public can buy presale tickets online at designindaba.com/music, or at the door.
Music Circuit Programme
Wednesday February 27 Rock 'n Roll at Aces 'n Spades
The first public event on the music circuit is a free gig at Aces 'n Spades (62 Hout Street, Cape Town CBD) at 8.30pm. Swamp-rockers The Dollfins perform alongside retro-rock stars Taxi Violence and current darlings of the experimental-indie scene Beast.
Thursday February 28 Live DJs at Jade Champagne Bar & Lounge
The party moves to Jade (39 Main Road, Green Point) at 8.30pm, starting with a set by Jade's resident DJ, and followed by the electro-rap stylings of Jam Jarr and the indie-electro groove of DJ Tommy Gun.
Live music at Zula Sound Bar
On Thursday at 8pm, over at Zula (98 Long Street, Cape Town CBD), things get eclectic with singer-songwriter Joshua Grierson, The Nomadic Orchestra (think: gypsy wedding party band) and The Brother Moves On (Johannesburg art collective that also makes music). Later Canadian-born South African lyricist Zaki Ibrahim blends beats with Mr Sakitumi's world-renowned sense of electronic sound composition, before DJs Fletcher and Honey B take the stage for a vision of where bass-driven dance music is headed in 2013 (and beyond). Tickets cost R100. Online ticket sales are open.
Friday March 1 Live jazz at The Mahogany Room
South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela appears on stage with American jazz-fusion pianist extraordinaire Larry Willis at an intimate set at The Mahogany Room (79 Buitenkant Street, Gardens). This once-in-a-lifetime jazz maestro's jam session starts at 7pm (doors open at 6.30pm). Tickets cost R200. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Lounge session at The Waiting Room
The same night The Waiting Room (273 Long Street, Cape Town CBD) plays host to the sounds of techno-house DJ Floyd Lavine (recently returned from London) and Anthea Scholtz (lady techno DJ with a smooth touch). Pieter-Jan Pieters, who will also be speaking at Design Indaba Conference this year, is here from Belgium to construct sounds for feet to dance to as part of DJ duo Obscure. To end the night Hyphen drops heavy bass on fans of drum 'n bass. Entry is R50 a person and doors open at 8.30pm. There is limited capacity at the venue so buy tickets now.
Electro/Afro-funk at The Assembly
Also on Friday at 8.30pm, the music circuit presents The Assembly (61 Harrington Street, East City Precinct) and a who's who of the local electronic music scene — gone global. From the United Kingdom, the "first lady of breaks", 10SUI, brings her feminine charm and electronic soul to the dance floor. Spoek Mathambo (also speaking at Design Indaba conference) takes over to show us why he is our current hottest global music export.
Haezer later displays his musical mash-up skills, before the finely tuned synth-pop Afro-disco that characterises Gazelle truly gets the dance floor loaded. To end the night Cape Town's best-loved drum 'n bass hero Niskerone sees the party through to its conclusion. Entrance to this event is R100 a person. Online ticket sales are open.
Expo Events Arena
On Friday evening from 6pm to 8pm visitors to Design Indaba Expo will also experience a taste of the music circuit as the Events Arena plays host to several live performances by a selection of artists and bands. Tickets to the Expo cost R70. Opening hours are from 10am to 8pm.
Wednesday February 27 to Friday March 1 Design Indabar
In addition to all these events is a series of shows hosted on the evenings of Design Indaba conference on the grassy knoll opposite the Cape Town International Convention Centre, at the pop-up-bar-meets-mobile gallery that is Design Indabar. These shows feature a host of South Africa's premier musical talents – including The Plastics, AF.Botz, Lady M, Wild Eastern Arches, Kimon, Mix 'n Blend, Mann Friday, Bilderberg Motel and Toby2shoes — and are exclusive to conference delegates and Design Indaba Expo exhibitors.
Artists on the music circuit 10SUI (UK)
Not every DJ/producer gets props from original break beat kings the Stanton Warriors, so when they dole out praise people take notice. They have accredited 10SUI with "adding feminine charm and electronic soul" to the dance scene. Not content to sit back and indulge in the praise of her peers, 10SUI traverses the globe evolving her skills in the music industry and pushing her chosen genre forward with impeccable remixes, fresh productions and slamming DJ sets. She takes to the decks at The Assembly on Friday March 1 at 9pm.
Gazelle turns traditional African music on its head by mixing it up with funk, disco, electro and great outfits. This modern-traditional crossover genre known as "LIM POP" has left a permanent mark on the African music scene and set the global stage alight with its truly unique South African sound. Combine that with Gazelle's spectacular stage theatrics and you have an unforgettable experience. Take a trip down the rabbit-hole to the exciting unknown at The Assembly on Friday March 1 at 1am.
Hugh Masekela (SA) & Larry Willis (USA)
At 73, "Bra Hugh" shows no sign of slowing down and will be putting on an intimate performance at The Mahogany Room. He will be appearing with noted American jazz pianist Larry Willis to perform songs off their latest album, Friends. An audience with South Africa's favourite jazz musician Masekela — trumpeter, composer, band leader, lyricist, two times Grammy-winning artist and arguably South Africa's most noted cultural ambassador-at-large will be an event never to be forgotten.
Zaki Ibrahim (Canada/SA) & Mr Sakitumi (SA)
Canadian-born South African singer-songwriter Zaki Ibrahim creates music thick with poetics and steeped in a delicious mixture of earnest emotion and social commentary. It is not uncommon to find her writing a new album, an accompanying theatre production and a short film — all at the same time. Zaki's multi-dimensional talents as a storyteller, performing artist, director, choreographer, fashion icon and individually talented vocalist have set her apart from her contemporaries on the South African entertainment scene. Be transported to new and forgotten territories when she joins Mr Sakitumi (also known as Sean Ou Tim, of LARK, Goldfish, Freshlyground and Max Normal fame) on stage at Zula Sound Bar on Thursday February 28.
DJ duo Obscure featuring Pieter-Jan Pieters (Belgium)
Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Pieter-Jan Pieters's final-year project "Sound on Intuition" consisted of five instruments that translated people's movement into sound. An arm-waving motion became a wavy sound; a person reaching up, a high note; the tapping of a foot or finger, a rhythm; its tempo, a heartbeat. He will be performing as part of a DJ duo named Obscure, as the third set of the night at Long Street's The Waiting Room on Friday March 1.

As a horror fan, I consider myself spoiled by the wealth of television series that are giving the genre its due attention. Two of the most intriguing upcoming projects are Showtime's literary mash-up Penny Dreadful and Fox's small town thriller Wayward Pines, created by M. Night Shyamalan and Chad Hodge. Intriguing doesn't necessarily mean good, mind you, but there's certainly less clear expectations going into these series than those that came attached to Hannibal and Dracula. While we've gotten a look at a few teasers from Penny Dreadful, the series' first still has been released, along with the first ever look at Wayward Pines.
If you were hoping these images, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly via BloodyDisgusting, would give us any insight into the show's secrets, you're as out of luck as I am. But if you were wondering what Timothy Dalton looked like in a dapper top hat and long jacket, you're in luck. The Penny Dreadful shot above features stars Josh Hartnett, Harry Treadaway, Eva Green and Dalton all standing around a body on a "Bring out your dead!" cart. It's unclear who is on the cart, but I have a pretty good guess.
The period drama will bring together such ghoulishly classic literary characters as Victor Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Creature, Count Dracula and Dorian Gray. Perhaps the cart body is one of the corpses used to bring the Creature's body together. Or maybe it's a body whose blood has been completely drained. Or maybe, just maybe, it's a regular ass corpse. Maybe I didn't have such a good guess. The series, which also stars Helen McRory, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper and Reeve Carney, will debut later this year. Here's the latest vague teaser Showtime released.
Now, onto Wayward Pines, based on the bestselling novel by Blake Crouch. In the style of eccentric series as Twin Peaks, the series will follow Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) as he descends upon the town to find two missing federal agents named Kate and Bill, and immediately gets into a car accident that totally upends his life. He can't communicate with the outside world and seems to lose everything that proves his identity other than his memory. Ethan's wife Theresa (Shannyn Sossamon) and son Ben (Charlie Tahan) go on their own search for the missing Ethan. Also starring Terrance Howard, Melissa Leo and Greta Lee, Wayward Pines is the kind of city that provides more questions than answers, but we can only hope that at least the writers understand what the answers will be. If they try and introduce a lighthouse of mirrors and a watery temple, I'm going to lose my mind.
And here's that first still, which is a plain Jane shot of Dillon talking to Leo while Siobhan Fallon looks on in the background. I guess it's worth noting that it's 8:25, just in case this is also a town where clocks don't work.
Audiences will have to wait until July to catch Wayward Pines' premiere on Fox. No twist.
