Co-President Victor Gorelick Discusses Archie Comics' Past, Present & Future
After starting at the company in the production department in 1958 after he finished high school, Victor Gorelick worked his way up through the ranks and is currently the Editor-in-Chief and Co-President of Archie Comics. Even after all those years, he still edits the comics that come out from the company along with overseeing various special projects, like the recent "The Art of Betty and Veronica" book and the upcoming "The Art of Archie Comics: The Covers" hardcover, which comes out this fall.
In recent years, the company has found new life with the introduction of Kevin Keller, the "Jinx" graphic novels, the crossovers with "Glee" and KISS and the successful magazine "Life with Archie." And the company has no intent to slow down,with a variety of new projects in the works, including the upcoming "Afterlife with Archie," a new level of effort put into producing graphic novels and moving into digital and a publishing deal with Dark Horse to collect the original Archie comic books.
Archie is also making new moves into Hollywood, like the just-announced Archie movie and a Sabrina animated series. CBR News recently spoke with Gorelick about everything that's happening at Archie, why this is the time to perhaps dial back the crossovers and events in favor of simply telling some straightforward Archie tales and why he could — but won't — write a memoir titled "50 Shades of Orange."
CBR News: In the past few years, Archie really seems to be trying to do new things. I'm thinking about Kevin Keller, the Jinx graphic novels, some of the crossovers and guest stars, bringing the superheroes back —
Victor Gorelick: At Archie, we always try to keep up with the times. Archie's been around for over seventy years now, and with every generation, there are new things to put into these books, whether it's fashions or new technology. We've always tried to keep up with that — I give a lot of credit to our writers and artists. But yes, recently we've come up with some new things, a lot of big moves, if you will, with the books. Kevin Keller — introducing a gay teenager into the Riverdale family was huge. It was very big and very well received.
I think the least noticed aspect of Kevin is that he's an army brat, which adds something to the character and the books.
Dan Parent created the character and we were talking about how we wanted to set up his family. Even though he's been moving around a lot because his father is an officer in the army and he's moving to a lot of different place sit's still pretty wholesome family unit. He's been around a lot and experienced a lot of things and it adds a little more punch to the character. All the other characters in Archie have lived in Riverdale all their lives, their mothers and fathers have, and it's all ho-hum for them — and here's this kid who's been around the world, practically. I think that adds something to the overall picture with regard to the whole Riverdale universe.
Archie puts out comics monthly, but you've really ramped up producing graphic novels and going digital. Jon Goldwater did an interview with ROBOT 6 in which he said that the monthly comics don't make money.
Well, they're on newsstands, but you just don't see [newsstands] anymore. If you want to find Archie comics, you have to go to Barnes and Noble — they carry everything we do. You have to give credit for Jon Goldwater for all of these advances in publishing that we've been doing at Archie Comics. I think under the old management, they wouldn't have gone for doing some of these things and taking that risk: Including a gay character in the group, having Archie married, doing all these graphic novels and going digital. We've had to embrace digital comics, and digital comics have done very well. Every month, we're doing better and better. As far as our graphic novels go, we're putting out half a dozen or more every month. There's a lot of material.
Archie is putting out graphic novels, but then Dark Horse is publishing the original Archie comic books from the beginning and IDW is doing series based around individual artists.
The IDW books is a license that was put together quite a few years ago. The ones that Dark Horse are doing, those are great books. I think those are really nice books. It's preserving the history of Archie, repurposing all our old material, and finding it — which is even more difficult. IDW have done, I think, three books on Dan DeCarlo, a couple books on Samm Schwartz, Harry Lucey —
There's also the Bob Montana comic strip collections.
The Sunday Strips book is just beautiful. That's a great book. They do a good job. I'm doing a book with Craig Yoe, who did the book "The Art of Betty and Veronica," which seemed to do very well.
Are there any plans for more books focused on different artists like Bob Bolling or others?
Bob Bolling was one of the most popular artists at Archie because of his Little Archie stories, and we'll definitely do something. We've done a couple trade paperbacks of his work. The books that I'm working on with Craig, like the Covers book, it's seventy years worth of covers and we wanted to put a variety in there, a lot of different artists' work.
Do you have any favorite artists who you think were good but never quite got their due or as much attention as you think they should have?
One of my favorite artists was Samm Schwartz. He was really synonymous with Jughead. Jughead is actually one of my favorite characters. I thought Samm's storytelling was great — he was a real cartoonist. That's not taking away anything from Harry Lucey, who was a great artist, or Dan DeCarlo, but when I read Samm Schwartz's stories, he always got a laugh out of me. Sometimes it was nothing to do with the story, it was just the way he drew something. He would draw things in the background all the time. I remember a story he drew where Jughead is going to an army navy surplus store and he had people in the background driving out in tanks, carrying bazookas. [Laughs] Crazy things like that. Sometimes what was happening in the background was funnier than what was going on in the story. He was one of my favorite artists. He had a really good sense of humor.
You mentioned Dan Parent earlier, He seems to have taken on the mantle as the most prominent Archie artist today.
Dan Parent and Fernando Ruiz are two of our newer artists. They've been working here for about twenty years. [Laughs]
[Dan] is very popular with our readers. He's always been very contemporary. He writes and draws most of the stories. He really comes through. He worked on the "Glee" crossover, the KISS crossover. He gets all these tough assignments. Fernando has been working on the "Life with Archie" book — or half of it, anyway. He does a fantastic job. We have the Kennedy brothers — they all of a sudden walked in the door and everybody loves them on "Life with Archie." We've always been fortunate to have some really good artists and some dependable artists which is sometimes a hard thing to find.
You recently announced a new series starting in the fall, "Afterlife with Archie" —
Well, we're certainly going down another road! [Laughs] It's been very well received, from what everybody's seen so far. I can't give away the story of the book, but I'll tell you, the story, from what I've read so far, it makes the hair on your head stand up.
The writer of that book, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasca, is also writing the just-announced Archie movie.
That's true. We signed with Warner Brothers to do an Archie movie, and it's probably going to come out in 2015. Roberto's writing it and Jason Moore's directing it. I've been waiting for this for 54 years. I can't tell you how many times I was told there was going to be an Archie movie.
There has also been some movement with Sabrina the Teenage Witch on the Hollywood front as well.
The Sabrina animated show is going to happen. The artwork looks really beautiful. And there's going to be a live action Sabrina movie, which is going to be great too, I'm sure. Everybody likes a witch.
Do you handle these things, or is it stuff other people handle and you get excited about it?
Jon Goldwater handles most of that stuff directly. He's very hands on and gets involved. He really works — unlike some other bosses I've had, which I won't mention.
Do you have any plans for Sabrina in the comics right now?
Right now, the only thing we're doing is the graphic novels. There are no plans just yet to do a regular series, although somewhere along the line we might do a miniseries.
She was in the KISS crossover.
Yes — she did and she might be appearing in other places, too. And she's going to be in the "Afterlife" story. How could you have the afterlife if you don't include a witch?
Is there anything happening with "Josie and the Pussycats" or "The Archies?"
Jon Goldwater was in the music business before he came to Archie, so he knows a lot of people in the music business and goes out to California often. He's always meeting with people. That's how we wound up getting this movie. That's how we wound up getting the Sabrina animation and Sabrina movie. He handles most of that, and we pat him on the back. We get involved at the beginning, where lots of it is just about people learning who the characters are and what they're about. I remember when Melissa Joan Hart ,before they had the Sabrina show on TV, she and her mother were up here. I sat with them and went through comic books and they got a sense of what the character is about. That's how we get involved at this point. I'm hoping to get a part in the movie and start my acting career.
You can be Stan Lee of Archie movies.
You're the fourth person that's said that today. [Laughs] I'd rather be more like Alfred Hitchcock, where I'm sitting at the back of the bus or something. Maybe I can get a part on "The Big Bang Theory." That would be better. They've talked about "Life with Archie." That was a nice plug.
You've been at Archie for a while.
October 1958
This is a huge question, but what do you think has been the bigbest change in the company and in comics in that time? What stands out to you?
In comics, the biggest change is the fact that you need to find more outlets. There aren't outlets for comics like there were years ago. When I started working, they used to pay us based on our circulation and our circulation was almost two million copies a month. But how many newsstands do you see? Like I said before, you can find most of our books at Barnes and Noble, so you better hope they don't go out of business. We used to be in Borders Books, and when they went out of business that was a big hit for a lot of comics companies. Comic books are going digital — everybody's going digital with the books. People just don't read like they used to. People have Kindles and iPads. I have an iPad, but I won't read a book on it. I don't like to read on a computer if it's something really long. Finding new outlets for comics, that's a challenge for all publishers, for all magazines. There's not as much advertising; the advertisers are saving money on print advertising because comics don't have that circulation. Marvel is now all direct and aren't on the newsstand at all. Probably DC is going to do that, eventually.
You probably have a lot of good stories, some of which you probably can't repeat.
Yeah, if I write my memoirs, [Laughs] I can do a book called 50 Shades of Orange — but I probably wouldn't have a job after it. Over the years, I met a lot of artists, worked with a lot of great artists, many of whom are gone now. I worked with Harry Lucey, Dan DeCarlo, Samm Schwartz, Bob White — a lot of these artists, you don't even know them until the last fifteen, twenty years, but they were all really excellent artists and writers. George Gladir probably did the gags for seventy-five percent of the covers in the years he was working for the company. A lot of the artists who worked for Archie over the years were relatively unknown.
Is that one of the reasons why you do the reprints focusing on individual artists, to give them that credit and attention?
We've been doing this for a long time now, giving credit to artists, but there was a time when some signed and some wouldn't — I don't know why. Some of these artists, like Bill Vigoda, are still unknown. I looked him up on Wikipedia, and all I could find was Abe Vigoda, his brother.
You started out in the production department when you started in 1958, which isn't the same today as it was then.
That's changed a lot. When I first came here, the pages were huge 12″ x 18″ pages and everything, all the original art, went to the comic code authority. I can tell you stories about that. [Laughs] Although we never really had a problem.
I've heard stories about production departments having to redraw panels because of cleavage or elements considered too risque.
It happened at the other companies as well. We'd take things to the Comics Code Authority, and they used to have an art table set up with supplies so the artists could come down and make the corrections right there. At Archie, one of my first jobs — and I tell this story a lot — was cleaning up the art on Katy Keene.
This is when cutting and pasting involved actual cutting and pasting.
We used to buy rubber cement by the gallon. If you needed to reduce something, you had to send it out to a photostat house. All of the text pages were typeset, but we had to send it out to the linotype. The color separations were done by hand. They made zinc plates that weighed about a ton at the engraver and they were sent to the printer. The printer had to take the zinc plates and create what they called mattes, like a rubber plate or something like that, so that they could fit on the printing press cylinders. You only had three values to work with colorwise — you had 25%, 50% and 100%.
In other words, it was a whole other world from today.
I think we still have a gallon of rubber cement somewhere, but I think the people in the art department just take it out to sniff it once in a while. [Laughs]
Besides "Afterlife with Archie," what's coming up in the comics? Are there any other new projects on the horizon?
One of the things that I think we need to do, after doing all these crossovers and all of these special events, is to get back to some regular Archie stories. Instead of a miniseries, have short stories for a change. You have to get back to basics a little bit.
We get a lot of attention for one book, but it's not an ongoing thing. What keeps Archie going is the Archie characters. You're always running a risk when you deal with celebrities. You never know. We work so far ahead with these books that we could have a celebrity in a book for December, and by the time December comes, you don't know what kind of situation the person will be in. The bottom line is, with the comic books, we have to produce a good clean image for young readers.
I guess that's the big challenge. How do you keep the books interesting and relevant, which I don't say dismissively, but when Archie started there was Andy Hardy and Henry Aldrich and movies and radio shows that were similar. Now they're gone, and Archie is still around.
First of all, the parents of our readers probably grew up reading Archie comics. They're very comfortable with it. They're not afraid to have their kids read an Archie comic book. They're not worried. In fact, even we haven't gotten really any flack on Kevin Keller.
I'm glad to hear that, but I'm sure that possibility was in your mind.
We weren't worried about it, but we certainly expected something. We did get a little bit of backlash from a few people, but people are overwhelmingly for it. You heard about the "Life with Archie" issue where Kevin got married in that issue and that group complained. Toys R Us ignored them, we ignored them, and the book sold out. It wasn't Archie Comics that was criticized; it was that organization that was criticized more than anything.

text: Reinforced piled embankment on Road 383, Sweden Challenge The connecting road between Vibbyn and Flarken in the region of Luleå (northern Sweden) rests on a soft unstable subgrade. Over time this has led to dangerous situations for road users and the road has even been closed several times a year because of flooding. The time had come to stabilize and reinforce the base course, but then without disturbing the nature. Road 383 runs through a nature reserve and over natural waterways, so every attention has been given to preserving the natural environment. Solution The project encompasses measures to repair the road, reinforce the subgrade and improve traffic safety. Two blind bends have been straightened and two bridges – over the Lörbäcken and Brobyån – have been renovated and extended to facilitate the passage of fish. To improve the bearing capacity of the road, wooden piles have been driven into the ground along a large stretch of the route, while concrete piles have been used under and close to the bridges. TenCate Geolon® PET has been placed on top of the piles and at the base of the granular mattress to facilitate the load transfer from the structure to the piles. A layer of asphalt is then applied to complete the works. TenCate Geolon® PET is a woven geosynthetic material for soil reinforcement and base course strengthening that combines considerable strength with an extraordinarily long life span – up to hundred years: Strength up to 2500 kN/m to insure the embankment stability High stiffness modulus to control the deformation and surface settlement Long term properties to insure the performance on the lifetime of the structure Form of supply adapted to the application: Long and wide rolls with steel core to facilitate the installation Benefit Geosynthetics reinforcement in piled embankments allows reduction of construction time, granular materials saving and leads to lower environmental impacts. < Back to Cases

Unanswered: Does MySQL have meta-tables?
I have a number of large tables (who doesnt) and often need to pick the smallest of a subset of these. Does MySQL store any kind of system meta-table with information on the size of user-created tables? Then I could query that instead of re-counting each row each time I need to find the smallest. How is this information best accessed?
Many thanks!

Just because a table has the "smallest" row count, does NOT mean that this table is necessarily the smallest in total size.
A table with only two rows which contain "large" BLOB datatypes
could easily be the largest table in the DB.You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Life consists of two aspects. The phenomena, or that which is evident to the senses, and the pneuma, or that which lends character, substance, behaviour, or animation. The pneuma sets the form of material existence, and is not bound by the little sparks of energy that we think of as the loci of phenomena. The pneuma collapses into various states that are us as individuals.
You are not an object. You are not a body. You are not a memory or a history. You are not a creation of a artificer or artificial God. You are not the product of some mysterious mechanics. You are living meaning, not living thinking. You are here, because here is here.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — Scientists studying the Mississippi River got quite a surprise recently — a male blue crab.
Southeast Missouri State University graduate student Nick Kramer was working with three Missouri Department of Conservation scientists last month when Kramer pulled a net for a paddlefish project at Cape Girardeau. Among the fish was the blue crab, a species that generally prefers an ocean habitat.
"Part of the exciting aspect of river research is that when you use a type of gear, you never quite know what you'll get when you pull it back out of the water," Kramer said. "While adult crabs typically prefer salt to brackish water along the coast, they can tolerate and live in fresh water."
Experts aren't sure if the crab was able to swim hundreds of miles up the river, if it "hitchhiked" on a vessel traveling up the river, or if it was dumped.
Frank Nelson, a wetlands ecologist for the conservation department, said the only other record of a blue crab that far north on the Mississippi or its tributaries was in 2004, when one was found in the lower Ohio River near Metropolis, Illinois.
The latest crab was found during sampling that is part of a statewide research project in which researchers are searching for self-sustaining wild populations of paddlefish for both sport and commercial fishing.

Day 40: Saturday, 23 April 2011
Official death toll for Friday, April 22 is 112: Homs & Suburbs (27), Damascus & Suburbs (47), Deraa & Suburbs (32), Hama City (5), Lattakia (1). Today 12 more were killed, 5 in Deraa's Izraa, rest in Damascus & Suburbs. Moreover, two new members in the People's Assembly representing Deraa have resigned, so did the Mufti of Deraa.
Assad security forces killed eight more people today, perhaps by way of underscoring the "official" and "intentional" character of the Good Friday Massacres that left 112 civilians dead. While international reactions remain subdued and have been restricted to mere condemnations of the escalating violence on part of the Assads with no mention of any potential international repercussions or consequences, and as the Arab World watches on silently, the protesters continue to get more organized.
Yesterday, and before the Assads unleashed their fury on the unarmed protesters a statement was released signed by the various local committees running the protests movements all over the country. The detailed list of demands included comes as an accurate reflection of the online conversations we've been having with in-country activists for the past weeks.
Most activists would now push for the inclusion of a clear call for the immediate resignation of Bashar Al-Assad. The next logical step will be to announce the formation of a committee that can officially speak for the revolution. It is also important to see future protests raising banners and slogans endorsing the demands made by the committees.
Meanwhile, the challenge for Syrian security today was to manage the funerals in a manner that will prevent holding mass funerals. In this, they relied on the usual tactics of hiding corpses and laying siege to known hotspots and flashpoints. While, the strategy seemed to work by minimizing the number of protesters in the streets, the flipside, especially with more protesters getting killed today, is that there will be funerals for everyday of the weeks now paving the way to next Friday.
In Deraa City, security forces looted electronic and jewelry stores, behaving very much like an occupation force, thus cementing the way they are being viewed by the local residents. Tyrants as occupiers is an old theme, but one that is playing out all too visibly throughout the streets of Syria today.

Take a look at the Interactive Map below and at our current list of Special Offers as you plan your stay at our NY Hotel.
"Very pleasant place"Staff was helpful and gracious - easy access to subway if needed - doorman assisted with taxis - great service; housekeeping staff polite and considerate with sleeping in - they were quiet in the hallways - any special requests were honored. Staff at the bar said no problem for taking drinks to the room with a snack. Unfortunately did not try the restaurant - next time! Everyone was terrific - felt right at home.
"Lovely staff, great location, clean rooms"We were that English family! We came to New York to celebrate my sons 21st birthday. Kim was fantastically helpful when I told her it was my sons 21st. They decorated our room, left him some gifts, gave us vouchers for his first drink in the U.S., dealt with all our queries and were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel is in a great location - very central. The rooms are not huge, but we spent very little time in our room as we were out exploring. The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable. There is no room service but there is a shop next door which does coffees, breakfasts and snacks and there is also a very good restaurant next door but one. I would recommend this hotel as a base for any families visiting New York.

Rooms were spacious and clean. Room on the 6th floor was suprisingly quiet. Parking is availabe under hotel at a reduced rate.
"Excellent choice for East Side locations"Close to subway and easy ingress/egress to LGA or JFK; rooms smaller than the Hilton on 6th Ave but big enough, clean and quiet; the staff could not be more accommodating and the cookies you get upon check-in are fabulous.

BSOD - After extended idle period - Win 7 Ultimate 64 8GB RAM
I have a homebuilt PC running Win 7 Ultimate 64 with an i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. I built the system using a refurbished ASUS P7P55-M mobo. The system works fine and will run about 95% of the time under constant use. However, if I leave it for an hour or so, it will BSOD. After the BSOD, about 50% of the time it runs a hard drive consistency check, but otherwise seems no worse for wear.
I've attached SF zip file as requested and I'm hoping someone can help me decipher this.
I'm trying to avoid a new mobo and CPU...
Thanks a million for any/all help!

Chkdsk was running with no errors. I was unable to install Seatools due to BSODs during install. However, your suggested cause turned out to be true when I noticed an error that indicated a corrupted MFT. I ran TESTDISK and it told me that my MFT and MFT Backup were both corrupt. Since I was ready to install Windows 8 anyway, I decided to try that.
I installed Windows 8 in Custom mode, which saved all my old files and settings in the WINDOWS.OLD file. I ran TESTDISK again and it still indicated a corrupt MFT. I re-ran the Windows 8 install, this time reformatting the hard drive before installing. This time, TESTDISK indicated no corruption. The system now appears stable and I have been exercising the heck out of the drive to see if I could get it to break.
Thank you for your help and the suggested place to look!

The Red Devils have made something of a mixed start to life under their new manager following his appointment as the club's new boss back in May.
Manchester United have struggled to produce consistent performances in the top flight so far this season and currently sit sixth in the table as they look to claw their way back into the top four.
Mourinho has been tasked with guiding the Red Devils back into the Champions League in his first campaign in charge.
Scholes says a top-four finish this season is a minimum requirement and feels that the Red Devils must establish themselves as genuine title challengers next term.
Asked what would be a good season from this point for Manchester United, Scholes told The Daily Mail: "Definitely finish in the top four.
"This time last year I would have said that was still a failure. But from what he's had to rebuild, a top-four finish would be acceptable.
"Winning two of the three cup competitions would be very good and constitute a really good season.

text: Eateries fall into two main categories: you can eat in a restoran (restaurant) or konoba (tavern). Restaurants are more formal affairs, catering mainly to tourists and offering Croatian cuisine plus a choice of popular international dishes. In contrast, a konoba serves typical regional dishes; many offer a marenda (cut-price lunch), and at those you are likely to see locals as well as tourists. Central Dalmatian specialties are mainly seafood-based. Rižot (risotto) reflects the region's historic ties with Venice, as does brodet (fish stewed in a rich tomato, onion, and wine sauce). Fish are divided into two categories: "white" fish, including brancin (branzino, or sea bass) and san pjero (John Dory), being the more expensive, while "blue" fish, including srdele (sardines) and skuša (mackerel) are cheaper but less frequently on offer. In restaurants, be aware that fresh fish is priced by the kilogram, so prices vary dramatically depending on how big your fish is. A popular new trend in dining are the wine bars that have popped up all over Dalmatia featuring the region's best local wines, cheeses, and prosciutto. Some offer a wide selection of original tapas, and almost all are eager to educate their clientele about local wines and provide suggestions.

RFAOH co-directors, Shinobu Akimoto and Matthew Evans are pleased to invite international "artists on-hiatus" to apply to our 2nd call for participation in our ongoing project, Residency for Artists on Hiatus (RFAOH).
Residency For Artists On Hiatus is a virtual yet functioning residency available to artists who, for one reason or another, are NOT currently making or presenting art. The residency exists in the form of a website, and the participants are selected based on their proposals of "on-hiatus" activities (or non-activities). To be eligible to apply, artists must have previously created an independent body of work and have exhibited in a public context. Selected artists will be represented on the RFAOH website by a dedicated page on which they are asked to post periodic reports throughout their residency. A modest stipend will be awarded to successful applicants to assist in their on-hiatus endeavours. At the conclusion of their residency, residents are expected to submit a written report on how they benefited from or were otherwise influenced by this opportunity.
For a DIY project with such modest beginnings, our first year brought us amazing collaborations and responses that developed beyond our expectations. The scope of our inaugural participants' on-hiatus activities ranged from meditation to being a full time professor of architecture, from organic gardening to applying to an MBA programme or explorations into various leisure activities for leisure sake. While stepping back from their art practices yet maintaining some life-line to their artist identity, all our residents uniquely perceived, approached, and used this opportunity. Their inspiring posts and final reports may be read on the RFAOH website. We also sincerely thank Mr. Tehching Hsieh for accepting our invitation to sit on our advisory board, as well as those who brought us opportunities to present RFAOH worldwide.
Given the currently topical discussions around the institutionalization of art practice and artist's identity, we are excited to host the 2nd cohort of residents, and continue our discourse surrounding the role of art within the greater culture at large. To know more about Residency For Artists On Hiatus and its first year of operation, please visit our website. http://residencyforartistsonhiatus.org. Detailed information on how to apply can also be found at http://residencyforartistsonhiatus.org/application.php.
The deadline for applications is September 15, 2014.
Residency For Artists On Hiatus continues to seek a host organization who may promote the residency through their own website and assist in funding the programme. The amount of the stipend paid to the residents as well as the format of the final publication will be contingent on this funding. Should you be interested in supporting RFAOH, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or go to our support page to see how you can help.
Object-human relationships can be perceived in many different ways. The object can become humanized and fetishized and the human on the other hand, can be objectified. In this show Aimée Burg, Tamar Ettun, and Mónika Sziládi bring their own take on the interdependences between bodies, minds, and the objects surrounding them. The combination of the works in the show explores the charged relationships we have with the objects we use every day; whether in terms of religious, ceremonial, mundane, or psychological interdependencies. The impact of these relationships on our lives ranges from the very physical, through mental and emotional experiences, to metaphysical and spiritual attributes.
Aimée Burg's comprehensive installation revolves around the notion of rituals, play, and the suspension of time, while incorporating repetitive and meditative tasks using metaphoric objects from everyday life. Her re-interpretation of mundane items utilized in our home, kitchen, and with our family and friends, resemble archeological artifacts that preserve ancient ceremonial events. The installation's dynamic presence plays with the relevance of "time" by bringing the past into a sci-fi-like future.
In her recent series of works, Tamar Ettun explores the concept of empathy through "neuron mirroring." Originally defined as "mirror neuron" it refers to a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another. Her works in the show comprised of sculptures, a video, and photographs, are a reflection of a longer process which traces the correspondence between objects and bodies, as well as sculptures and movement. As she often states, in her works the body becomes sculptural, and the objects, performative.
Through a photographic process Mónika Sziládi creates unique digital collages that are constructed from scenes she shoots at networking events, conventions, and meet-ups of various subcultures that engage through social networks. In her most recent assemblage of works "Left to Our Own Devices," Sziládi emphasizes moments of the complex psychological exchange we develop with garments, technological devices, costumes and toys, or other people we surround ourselves with.
Curated by Roya Sachs
Unconscious Lens
August 27 – 30, 2014
Opening Reception: Wednesday, August 27, 6-9 pm
BOSI Contemporary is pleased to announce the opening of Unconscious Lens, a group exhibition curated by Roya Sachs, featuring works by New York based artists Najib Aschrafzai, Rosanna Bach, Mike Fernandez, Gabriele Giugni, Alison Nguyen, and Anh Thuy Nguyen.
The show revolves around Freud's theory of the Unconscious – the source of our most instinctual desires that are repressed and released in our dreams. Each artist attempts to explore the different realms of the Unconscious and Conscious world, by demonstrating the different visions, techniques, and concepts of their optical lens.
Najib Aschrafzai's (b. 1968, Caboul, Afghanistan) Dada-influenced project takes a rather organic approach to the Unconscious, by representing the unpredictability of our emotions through collage. One is brought to question the confusing lines between our dreams and reality.
Rosanna Bach's (b. 1990, Geneva, Switzerland) use of analogue experimentation in her large-scale double-exposure series brings to light poetically melancholic juxtapositions of nature and the human body.
Mike Fernandez's (b. 1985, Lima, Peru) video and photographic works create a subtle and intrinsic duality between human and animal behaviour, encouraging the viewer to re-evaluate their identity.
Gabriele Giugni (b. 1980, Rome, Italy) evokes his perception of the Unconscious through the use of light boxes and silhouettes, allowing you to enter the mind of individuals through the positions and movements of their body. By focusing on individuals within the crowd, it enables him to isolate their trajectory and create an intrinsic link between the observer and the subject.
Alison Nguyen's (b. 1986, Wilmington, Delaware) in-camera multiple exposures create vastly evocative, lively, and gestural textures in her photographs. Treating the film negative as an entire image, Nguyen's improvised, intuitive approach explores the complexities of what theorist Walter Benjamin termed the "optical unconscious."
Anh Thuy Nguyen's (b. 1993, Hanoi, Vietnam) Faceless series enters a painterly-esque dream world, by using multiple exposures and capturing blurred faces. Through these the viewer is left with a ghostly separation of a dream-like state, and a reality. Her photographic and chemical experimentations reveal only certain spontaneous aspects of her identity, and appropriately repressing the rest.
The opening night, 27th August, will include a unique performance at 7.45pm, of La Mamma Morta, an aria from Umberto Giordano's Andrea Chenier, performed by opera singer Mithra Mastropierro and dancer Katherina Tsirakis. Contextually, the opera first premiered in 1896, one year after Freud's first big publication, Studies on Hysteria. Katherina is the subject in Rosanna Bach's photographs, bringing her works to life through the performance. Its purpose will be to stress the dual existence of the Unconscious dream world, which Mithra sings about in the aria, and the reality of the Conscious world, which Katherina's movement and physical presence will represent.
The University Museum and Art Gallery is excited to announce its exhibition of "Picasso Ceramics" from the Nina Miller Collection, which provides a unique opportunity to study the sculptural qualities and three-dimensional aspect of Pablo Picasso's work, never before seen in Hong Kong. From World War II to the end of Picasso's life in 1973, the Spanish artist created thousands of carefully sculpted and, often, colourfully glazed, objects that give testimony to his artistic diversity, ingenuity and enormous creative powers.
The exhibition includes more than 100 ceramic works, both Picasso's Madoura editions and unique individual pieces, as well as lithographs and posters designed by the artist, and images by renowned photographers depicting Picasso in his studio and home. Coming from one of the largest collection of the artist's ceramic ware in the world, this is the first time that the London-based Nina Miller Collection is ever seen publicly.
BOSI Contemporary is pleased to announce The Loss of So Many, a solo exhibition by David Mellen. The exhibition will feature works that question the idea of dimensionality and how a canvas can become a vehicle for more than just two-dimensional representation.
Combining the sculptural and the painterly in Red Lies Body, Meter, Still Stand, and Into the Throats of Birds, Mellen creates a trapeze act between the flat and the three dimensional, between the placeable and the unidentifiable. The physical malleability of the sculptural parallels the impressionable subject matter.
Drawing inspiration from Samuel Beckett's quote from the Endgame: "There's something dripping in my head…A heart, a heart is in my head," Mellen's work allows us to access our own individual personality. Mellen's paintings create complex algorithms of illusory and invisible correlations between visual interpretations and inner monologues. Endgame, a term referencing the final stage of a chess game when there are only a few pieces left on the board, corresponds to the intellectually prevalent game between the exhibition and the audience, between painting and viewer. The paintings' titles characterize known physical and emotional attributes that are then contested by their visual gestures.
The Loss of So Many, like a chess game, demonstrates the complexity and never ending way to explore different endgames within our own humanity. Like chess pieces, these paintings serve as signifiers which allow the viewer to explore what drives us, breaks us, consoles us, what it means to be human on the way to the pursuit of happiness. These images, both abstract and familiar, are devised by the artist to make us rife with connotations of the physical and immaterial space of our everyday life, and the things we lose in between.
David Mellen (b. 1970, Chicago, USA) attended the American Academy of Art. He exhibited his work in his hometown of Chicago until 1994, when he moved to Europe. He has exhibited both internationally and nationally, including a solo exhibition at Frey Norris Gallery in San Francisco and group exhibitions in New York and Chicago. Mellen has also been featured in international exhibitions in Paris, Brussels, and London, in institutions such as Kursaal Exhbition Center, Belgium; Centre de Cheques Postaux XV, Paris and APT Gallery, London. Mellen lives and works in Connecticut.

Not since SINCE ALAN KAPROW AND THE FACTORY has anyone experienced an art happening like Michaels Alan's THE LIVING INSTALLATION
Experience this mind-blowing event where Michael will turn 10 live models, all acting out "Alice in Wonderland", into living sculptures.
He plays with linearity, expands your mind with visual puzzles makes drawings inside drawings inside paintings. He decorates the models with paint, fabric, paper and objects to create a world that is nothing less than fantastical.
Alan and musician Tim "Love" Lee provide the soundtrack.
Michael Alan's LIVING INSTALLATION has been staple in NYC for over 20 Years and The Huffington Post Calls it "A MOVEMENT IN NYC ART CULTURE!" This community project has created live art objects in venues like the Whitney and the New Museum.
The event will take place in a 3000 square foot space at Succulent Studios, with drinks, coffee and food and will be the closing of the Installation Group show.
Mike has been featured in the Village Voice, The Huffington Post, The New York Times and many more.
This event being his 11 year anniversary and the first time he has performed in 2 years, should prove to be the most extravagant yet.

SUCCULENT STUDIOS 67 West St. | Greenpoint Brooklyn | 5th floor | Suite 522
The University Museum and Art Gallery of The Hong Kong University will be showing an exhibition of artworks by 27 Austrian artists in China titled "Refuse the Shadows of the Past: Five Years of Austrian Art made in China" from the July 4 to August 24, 2014.
This commemorative exhibition celebrates the fifth anniversary of artistic creation and transformation by Austrian and other international artists working in China with a concentrated focus on the 'Chinese' past and present. Five years also mark a longer existing program of internationalisation, initiated by the Austrian government to allow artist to work around the world.
This summer, the University Museum exhibits a selection of works that have been shown in Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing and Ningbo in the last 5 years, and include video works by Hannes Böck, Thomas Weber Carlsen & Jan Krogsgaard, Sylvia Eckermann & Gerald Nestler, Johann Neumeister, Moritz Neumüller, Audrey Salmon, Bernhard Staudinger, Sylvia Winkler & Stephan Köperl and Heimo Wallner. Objects, installations and book works by Allan Au, Franz Amann, Anna Hofbauer, Ralo Mayer, Rainer Prohaska and Gerlind Zeilner as well as collages, drawings and photographic works by Lukas Birk, Karel Dudesek, Georg Frauenschuh, Tina Hochkogler, Heimo Lattner, Thomas Pakull, Anton Petz, Ida & Bianca Regl, Roswitha Weingrill and Andrea Witzmann.
Each exhibited artist developed his or her own method of artistic practice in a new environment, by working and living in China and not just visiting her. Thereby, they did not form part of a programmatic cultural exchange, but participated in a residency programme that allowed them to develop an approach driven by personal curiosity and subtle translations. The closest comparisons are the pictograms of the Naxi tribe, which have been communicating with images rather than with letters. Similarly, these artists communicate with, various materials, sounds, and forms to reach the visitors' imagination.
Among the twenty-seven artists represented, Heimo Wallner features Mao Tse Tung's selected works volume 2 with personal illustrations composed into an animation video, in order to draw and write a large map which shows historical and today's connection of China. Roswitha Weingrill presents collages with mosaic intarsia showing female and male heads carved out of Chinese art school books.
This exhibition has been organised in collaboration with the Austrian Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macau and the Embassy of the Arts of Austria.

Quality of Life: Aliza Nisenbaum, Claudia Cortinez + Carlos Vela-Prado, Daniel Bejar, Ethan Breckenridge, and Reka Reisinger
Curated by Allison Galgiani
In collaboration with the Rema Hort Mann Foundation
June 19 – July 19, 2014
Opening Reception: Thursday, June 19, 6-9 pm
Bosi Contemporary, in collaboration with the Rema Hort Mann Foundation, is proud to present Quality of Life, a group exhibition featuring Daniel Bejar, Ethan Breckenridge, Claudia Cortinez + Carlos Vela-Prado, Aliza Nisenbaum, and Reka Reisinger, all past recipients of the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant. The meaning, significance, and success of an individual life defies a single definition, and each artist contends with these themes in their own way, demonstrating the complexity and never ending way we seek to quantify a life well lived.
The artists in this exhibition, whether directly or obliquely, reflect, challenge, or illuminate the way in which we measure or choose to define the quality of life. Whether spurred by the unyielding American mandate—to live better, to prosper and succeed, or driven by a spiritual inclination towards a more enlightened state, the concept of "quality" is a rubric used to measure something intangible. Delving into issues of nationalistic propaganda, personal identity and false idolatry, the artists explore what it means to be human; the things that drive and console us, and the histories we contrive to prove that there is meaning despite the chaos. The exhibition captures the indefatigable spirit of life and the artists' own concepts of humanity, through various signifiers and conventions both familiar and devised by the artist themselves.
Daniel Bejar's work is informed by his identity and response to the proliferation of media and propagandist messages that consciously and subconsciously permeate our surroundings. In his "Rec-elections" series, Bejar focuses on the tendency of political candidates to rely on clichéd and vague terminology in order to secure support, taking advantage of the public's knee-jerk reaction to nostalgic and idealistic views of the "American Dream." What initially seems to be a cynical outlook, the pieces themselves do not drip of contention for these mottos, but rather resolutely reaffirm the fact that we still desperately want to believe them.
Daniel received the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant in 2013 and holds an MFA in sculpture from SUNY New Paltz and a BFA from the Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL. His work has been exhibited internationally and was recently selected for the 5x5 Castelló 13 International Contemporary Art Prize in Castelló, Spain and the upcoming "Crossing Brooklyn" exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Other exhibitions venues include El Museo Del Barrio, SITE Santa Fe, Artnews Projects, Berlin, and the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Daniel currently lives and works in Brooklyn
Ethan Breckenridge's "prisms" are perfectly contained representations of life, captured under glass. Like miniature biospheres, Breckenridge has created the ideal environment for his plant specimens to live and grow. Each microcosm will develop and thrive, but is simultaneously universally reliant on someone to cultivate it. Rife with connotations of survival and those elements that we can or cannot control in our own life, the prisms speak to a desire to create order and semblance to an otherwise chaotic life mechanism.
Ethan was a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Recipient in 2010, and received his MFA from Columbia University and his BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. He has shown both nationally and internationally, including solo exhibitions in San Diego, Chicago, and New York, and group exhibitions in London, Rome, Lisbon, Los Angeles, and New York. Ethan currently lives and works in New York City.
The collaborative photographs and sculptures by Claudia Cortinez and Carlo Vela-Prado are presented as archival documents of a moment in time isolated from the present and the past. New York's Governor's Island's unique history and relationship with Manhattan creates a liminal space, where artifacts act as the only connection to an ambiguous past. While inspired by real objects, Cortinez and Vela-Prado's sculptures are almost entirely fabricated, aged and photographed to act as a proxy for the real, and left up to the viewer to decide what is authentic and what is imagined.
Claudia was a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant Recipient in 2013, and she works collaboratively and independently. Together they were recipients of the 2013 Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Governor's Island Residency program. Separately, they have exhibited in and around New York. Both artists received their MFAs in sculpture from Yale University, and both are currently based in Brooklyn.
Aliza Nisenbaum's paintings give equal weight to her own and her shared history, taking cues from art historical conventions of portraiture and still-life, while also very much rooted in the contemporaneous moment. Working with undocumented Mexican immigrants, Nisenbaum listens to their stories of their experiences and sacrifices they endured in the hopes for a better life. Each of her works possesses the living spirit of her subjects and this pursuit.
Aliza was a recipient of the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant in 2013.
She was born in Mexico City and received her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005. Recently she has exhibited in New York City, Detroit, Chicago, Dublin, and Mexico City, and will have a solo exhibition at White Columns, New York later this year. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
During a number of trips across the United States, Reka Reisinger documented her visits to tourist-approved destinations by photographing a cutout of herself in real places. The life-size cutout inhabits the memories of these journeys—as she travelled, her avatar was the recipient of the experience. Focusing instead on the documentation and capturing the memory, she realized that she was entirely removed from her experience of a time and place. The viewer experiences these memories as she did—removed and distant from the actual experience, raising implications of how we choose to record and measure experience and success in our lives.
Reka Reisinger was the recipient of the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant in 2012 and received her MFA in photography from Yale University. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, including exhibitions at MoMA PS1, Sculpture Center, Exit Art, and the Art + Commerce Festival of Emerging Photographers. Reisinger was born in Budapest, Hungary, and lives between New York and Hungary.
About the Rema Hort Mann Foundation
For almost twenty years, the Rema Hort Mann Foundation has been dedicated to the support of life and art, inspired by the memory of Rema Hort Mann, whose own life was cut short at the age of thirty due to stomach cancer. The Foundation has made its mission to fund the continued support to cancer victims and their families through direct support with the Quality of Life grants, and promising visual artists through the Emerging Artist Grants. The Rema Hort Mann Foundation is a small organization that continues to have a large impact and play a vital role to the populations that it reaches.
A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will go to benefit the Rema Hort Mann Foundation.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with texts by Allison Galgiani and Laura Cottingham available for purchase at the gallery or online.
I will come up with an artistic idea along any one issue or theme you require. This idea will be yours to use and develop as you wish. I will aim to make the ideas original. By this I mean that I will not conciously copy somebody elses idea. I can't however be held responsible for leaking of ideas from outside my brain which get lodged in my subconcious without my knowledge or the fact that the idea may already exsist wihout me having being exposed to it. All I would ask is for my name to feature on any publications, web etc which features the idea.
The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold
- Aristotle
It is a pleasure to announce "Initial Deviations," an exhibition of works curated by Kara Brooks at Palisades. The exhibition intends to bring together the Bushwick community not only by featuring local artists, but also by taking place in a multipurpose venue.
The three artists in "Initial Deviations" investigate mental images, waves of events and emotional expression through repetition. The subject matter gains velocity as it evolves in the process, resulting in an abstraction of the original idea. Instead of fearing the multiplication of these deviations, the three artists embrace the transformation, allowing the viewer to experience the original subject in a constantly changing form. As a grouping, these works illustrate the fragility and malleability of memory.
Solomon Alexander Chehebar's paintings uncover figures amongst a expressionistic frenzy of colors on canvas. Instead of focusing on a specific event, he uses a variety of paints and textures as a therapeutic means, putting forth the embodiment of his individual experience.
The faces depicted in Claire Lachow's works are her endeavor to remember strangers she encounters. While Lachow intends for faithful portrayals, her recollections are as mercurial and unstable as her media of choice – ink and water.
In this series, Brian Stremick fantasizes about lands that he has never been to before and attempts to transport he viewer to a landscape that he charted himself. Much like the condensation of memories, his conté crayon drawings take their form what has occurred in the past – over time the straight horizon begins to wobble and become a series of random occurrences brought on by the hand.

wikiHow to Sync a PS3 Controller
Four Methods:Syncing to a PlayStation 3Syncing to a PCSyncing to a MacSyncing to an Android DeviceCommunity Q&A
This wikiHow teaches how to connect your PS3 controller wirelessly to your PS3, as well as use it to play PC, Mac, and Android games.
Syncing to a PlayStation 3
1Turn on the PlayStation 3. Press the Power button on the front of the console. The PS3 cannot be in Standby mode.
2Connect a Mini-USB cable to your controller. You'll find the Mini-USB port on the back of the controller.
3Connect the other end to a USB port on the PS3. You'll find two or four on the front of your PS3, depending on the model.
4Press the PlayStation button on the controller. You'll find this button in the center of the controller. This turns the controller on.
5Wait for the controller lights to finish blinking. Once a single light is on, your controller is synced with the PS3. The light that is on indicates which controller you are using (P1, P2, etc.).
6Disconnect the USB cable from the controller. You can now use the controller wirelessly.
- Bluetooth wireless functionality is only available on official Sony DualShock 3 controllers.
7Charge the controller if it doesn't stay on. If your controller turns off after unplugging it, it may be out of charge. Keep it plugged in for a few hours with the PS3 on to charge the battery.
8Reset the controller if it still won't sync. If you still can't get your controller to sync with the PS3, you may need to reset it:
- Turn over the controller and locate the Reset button. You can find it along the top of the backside, near the L2 button.
- Use the paperclip to press the Reset button. You should be able to feel it click.
- Try connecting and syncing the controller again.
Syncing to a PC
1Connect your Bluetooth dongle to your computer (optional). If you plan on using your PS3 controllers wirelessly with your PC, connect a Bluetooth dongle to an open USB port on your PC. Even if your computer already has Bluetooth support, using a separate dongle is recommended since only PS3 controllers will work with it after setup.
- Allow Windows to install the default drivers automatically after connecting it.
2Connect all of the PS3 controllers that you want to sync via USB. Make sure you connect all of the controllers that you plan on using before you start the setup process. Allow Windows to install the default drivers.
3Visit the SCPToolkit download site. This is a utility created to allow the PS3 controller to appear in games as if it were an Xbox 360 controller (which is fully supported in Windows).
4Click the ScpToolkit.exe link. This will begin downloading the installer.
5Run ScpToolkit.exe. This will begin the installation process.
6Check the I agree box and click Next.
7Click Install to begin installation.
8Click Yes if prompted by Windows.
9Click the Run Driver Installer button. This appears at the end of the installation process.
10Click Yes if prompted by Windows.
11Click Choose Bluetooth dongles to install.
12Check the box for your Bluetooth dongle. If you have multiple dongles installed, make sure you're selecting the one you want to dedicate to PS3 controllers.
13Click Choose DualShock 3 controllers to install.
14Check the boxes for each DualShock 3 controller.
15Click the Install button.
16Start a game that supports controllers. If you're using Steam, look for "Full" or "Partial Controller Support" in the game's Details.
17Configure your controller in game. Each game will have a different controller configuration process. In many games, you won't need to configure anything and can begin playing with the controller immediately.
- The pairing process will not be necessary in the future. Simply turning the paired controller on will sync it with your PC.
Syncing to a Mac
1Power down and unplug your PS3. If you have a PS3 nearby that you normally use your controller for, turn it off and unplug it to prevent accidentally turning it on while you pair the controller with your Mac.
2Click the Apple menu on your Mac. You'll see this in the upper-left corner of the screen.
3Click System Preferences.
4Click Bluetooth. If you don't see this option, click the ⋮⋮⋮⋮ button to return to the main System Preferences menu.
5Click Turn Bluetooth On (if it isn't).
6Connect the PS3 Controller to your Mac via USB. You'll need a Mini-USB to USB cable. You can use the one that came with your controller or any other Mini-USB cable.
7Let the controller charge (if necessary). If the controller hasn't been charged for a while, you may want to let it charge for about 30 minutes before proceeding with setting up the Bluetooth connection.
8Press and hold the PlayStation button for 2 seconds. You should see the lights start to flash on the top of the controller.
9Unplug the controller and wait for it to sync. It may take a moment, but the PS3 controller will appear in the list as "Connected."
10Enter 0000 as the passcode if prompted. If your Mac prompts you for the device's passcode, type 0000 and click Pair. This usually isn't required on newer Macs.
11Set up your controller in game. Now that the PS3 controller is connected to your computer via Bluetooth, you can use it in any game that supports gamepads. You may have to manually set the controller buttons for game functions; this varies from game to game.
Syncing to an Android Device
1Root your device. In order to connect a PS3 controller to your Android, the Android will need to be rooted. This means you have root access to the system files, which is locked for most devices. The rooting process is complex and different for every device.
- Gaining root access is only recommended for advanced users, and has the potential to brick your device.
2Open the Play Store. Once you have root access, you can install the app that will allow you to pair your PS3 controller with your Android device.
3Search for "sixaxis."
4Tap the Sixaxis Compatibility Check app.
5Tap Install and then Open. The Open button appears after installation is complete.
6Tap the Start button. If the app is able to gain root access and initialize your Bluetooth, you'll be able to install the Sixaxis Controller app and pair your controller.
7Download the Sixaxis Pair Tool for PC. You'll need this program for your first pairing in order to determine your controller's MAC address. This program is only available for Windows. You can download it here.
8Connect the PS3 controller to your PC via USB. Plug the PS3 controller into any available USB port on your computer and allow Windows to install any default drivers.
9Run the downloaded setup program. You can leave the settings at their defaults.
10Run the SixaxisPairTool program. You'll find this in your Start menu after installation is complete.
11Click Yes if prompted by Windows.
12Leave the window open with the MAC address displayed. You'll need to change this in a moment, so leave the window open.
13Return to the Play Store on your Android. You should still see your search results.
14Purchase the Sixaxis Controller app. This app requires a purchase, which is why you should run the compatibility test first.
15Tap Install after purchasing.
16Tap Open after installation is finished.
17Tap Pair Controller.
18Type the MAC address displayed on your Android into SixaxisPairTool on your PC. Type the address you see on your Android screen into the Change Master field in the SixaxisPairTool window.
19Click Update. This will change the MAC address of your PS3 controller to match the master address of your phone.
20Disconnect the controller from your computer.
21Press and hold the PlayStation button for 2 seconds. This will turn on the controller and sync it with your Android. Look for the solid indicator light on the controller.
22Configure your controller in game. If the Android game you are playing supports gamepads, you'll be able to use your newly-paired controller. You may have to configure the controller before using it.
Community Q&A
Can I sync my PS3 controller to my PS3 without the cable?wikiHow ContributorOn the back of your controller there should be a small hole on the upper part closer to the side that contains the D-pad. This hole contains a Reset button that can be depressed with any long thin item such as a fork prong or a small screwdriver. This should cause the controller to search for nearby PlayStations to sync with.

- Replace your controllers. If your controllers seem to be the source of the trouble, they may be defective. Try borrowing a friend's controller and syncing it. If it works fine, chances are you'll need to replace your own to fix the problem.
- Check your PS3 firmware. If your PS3 is rarely connected to the Internet, bring it online and check for firmware updates. In some cases, these can fix connectivity problems left over from older, out-of-date updates.

Plutora Blog - Test Environment Management
Jenkins and Plutora integrateReading time 2 minutes
Plutora is pleased to announce our new Jenkins self-service adaptor. Jenkins has become the default enterprise standard for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). With the release of our new Plutora Jenkins adaptor, we bridge the gap between best-of-breed release and environment management capabilities and release automation.
Our Jenkins plugin supports enterprise teams across the world in strengthening their DevOps enabling capabilities. Best of all it takes 10mins to setup the integration.
Typical use cases for the Plutora/Jenkins plugin include (not limited to):
1: Test/QA teams can perform self-service 'code and release deployments' to test environments when it suits their testing schedule.
2: Teams want to track all changes to the state of a test environment include configuration and build versions to ensure testing is valid and prior run test cases are invalidated.
3: DevOps orchestration nirvana, linking test and release tracking with auto deployments from a single view.
Now, Plutora integrates with Jenkins, to bring you easy-to-set-up, one-click environment creation on the fly.
