Quote 52
"[…] the uncle said, 'The climate may do away with this difficulty for you. Is he alone there?'" (2.1)
The uncle says that nature (the climate) might "do away" with Kurtz, freeing up a rung on the corporate ladder for him and his nephew. Let's see: heat, darkness, wild animals, cannibals—yep, things are looking pretty dire for Kurtz. (Of course, the subtext is that the manager and his nephew might be running into some of these problems, too.)
Quote 53
[The manager's uncle]: "'Ah! my boy, trust to this—I say, trust to this.' I saw him extend his short flipper of an arm for a gesture that took in the forest, the creek the mud, the river—seemed to beckon with a dishonouring flourish before the sunlit face of the land a treacherous appeal to the lurking death, to the hidden evil, to the profound darkness of its heart. It was so startling that I leaped to my feet and looked back at the edge of the forest, as though I had expected an answer of some sort to that black display of confidence." (2.2)
The manager hopes that nature will kill Kurtz, even though, honestly, isn't it just as likely that the jungle will kill him instead? Isn't the point of evil that it's not too picky about its victims? (Well—unless you're a virgin in a horror movie, that is. Then you're probably safe.)
Quote 54
"Going up that river was like traveling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted on the earth and the big trees were kings. An empty stream, a great silence, an impenetrable forest. The air was warm, thick, heavy, sluggish […]. On silvery sand-banks hippos and alligators sunned themselves side by side. The broadening waters flowed through a mob of wooded islands; you lost your way on that river as you would in a desert, and butted all day long against shoals, trying to find the channel, till you thought yourself bewitched and cut off for ever from everything you had known once—somewhere—far away—in another existence perhaps." (2.5)
As the pilgrims travel upriver, they feel like they're heading back in time—all the way back to the prehistoric ages when wild beasts ruled the world. Want to hear our thoughts about this time travel? Check out what we have to say in "Setting."

A Mr. Johnson called me from this agency, did not tell me who he was and started in about a $160.00 debt which I have previously paid money on. I started asking him questions as he inquired about my income and he got a major attitude with me told me if I wouldn't take care of my debt he would and hung up on me. I called back because I intended to take care of the situation and apparently i called him buddy and he stated I am not you buddy and if you wont handle your debt I will, and hung up on me again, never giving me a chance to make payment arrangements. He was very rude, unprofessional and gave me no opportunity to make arrangements to pay this debt. I would not want him collecting money for me, you wouldn't get much. He just hangs up on people

FORT WORTH, Texas — Kyle Busch took advantage of a late caution to regain the lead and held on for the final 16 laps after the last restart Saturday night to win the Sprint Cup race at Texas, completing a NASCAR weekend sweep.
Busch followed Martin Truex Jr. for about 50 laps before a yellow flag for debris with 21 laps left. Busch took the lead off pit road during the caution and charged forward with a strong restart in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
It was the second time this season, and eighth time in his career, that Busch won Cup and Nationwide races in the same weekend. He was the polesitter Saturday night, and won the Nationwide race Friday night on the 11/2;-mile, high-banked track.
Busch, who also won both races at Fontana last month, led 171 of 334 laps for his 26th career Cup victory.
Truex was trying to win for the first time since June 2007, but his winless streak reached 210 races when he finished just a half-second behind Busch in the race.

The history of the Burbank Chorale
December 3, 2003
BURBANK: THEN & NOW On Sept. 24, 1920, the Music Section of the Burbank Women's Club made its debut at the Burbank Fall Festival. Under the direction of Charles Leroy Munro, along with his wife and accompanist Myrtle Radcliff-Munro, the program was a smashing success. What was not fully evident at the performance, however, was the magnitude of their success. The Music Section of the Women's Club, which shortly afterward became known as the Burbank Choral Club, would become the longest continuously performing arts organization in the entire San Fernando Valley.
Rotarians set to celebrate 100th birthday
February 23, 2005
It's 100, but service hasn't gotten old at Rotary International. The Burbank, Glendale and Universal City Sunrise Rotary chapters will host a birthday celebration of Rotary International, celebrating the club's first 100 years and looking toward the future for another century of success. Started by four businessmen in 1905, the organization has more than 1 million members worldwide. But it's the concept of service above self that really sets the organization apart from other service groups, treasurer Lee Stacy of the Burbank Sunrise Rotary Club said.
Not-so- average Joe
By Jeff Tully
November 11, 2006
When the Burroughs High linemen arrived for an early morning team meeting earlier this season, they had a surprise waiting for them. The players were greeted with piping-hot breakfast burritos, courtesy of senior running back Joe Wiggan. The night before, the linemen did their job in springing Wiggan for 237 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-31 nonleague win against Harvard-Westlake. "Those boys can eat, so I know buying them breakfast set Joe back a little," Indians Coach Keith Knoop said.
A running start
By Rick Assad
September 30, 2006
Bellarmine-Jefferson High tailback Jorge Chaidez can't see the future, but has terrific vision. The area's leading rusher, Chaidez is always patient, but ready to explode through the line before quarterback Daniel Radoccia hands him the football. Whenever the junior takes the field, he often plows through defenders and chews up yardage. However, although he might appear to be a one-man wrecking crew, Chaidez is not doing it alone. The running back's father, Jorge Sr., died five years ago, and his memory is never far from the athlete.
Magnante's career up in the air after move by A's
August 3, 2002
Finding a quality left-handed relief pitcher is a rare commodity in major league baseball these days. Thus, former Burroughs High baseball star Mike Magnante has enjoyed success and a fine career as a pitcher for 10 years with four major-league clubs. Late Tuesday, Magnante, 37, was designated for assignment by the Oakland Athletics, just days before he was due to be eligible to receive his major-league pension. Players must have at least 10 years of major-league service to earn a pension.
An identity of success
By By Jeff Tully
November 19, 2005
tullyBell-Jeff girls' cross-country team has found its place and will run in CIF final For most of the season, the Bellarmine-Jefferson High girls' cross-country team suffered with an identity conflict. The Guards didn't know whether they had a good team that just happened to struggle in league, or a mediocre team that experienced moments of success. It was definitely hard on Bell-Jeff having to compete in the tough Sunshine League, as it finished last. "We would finish a league meet and we would be so down because we lost another race," Bell-Jeff Coach Mike Morgan said.
Success to a tee
July 10, 2004
Jeff Tully There is no offseason for Brett Kanda. The boys' golfer from Flintridge Prep spent his junior season as a standout performer for the Rebels, winning the Prep League title and advancing to CIF Southern Section-Toyota Individual Championship. However, after the season ended, things haven't slowed down for Kanda. In fact, the golfer is busier this summer than he was during the high school campaign. But along with the success Kanda is enjoying during his three months away from school, it was his accomplishments at Flintridge Prep this past season that earned him All-Area Golfer of the Year honors, voted on by the writers and editors of the Burbank Leader and News-Press.
Relishing in their success
November 15, 2003
Jeff Tully With his right knee heavily taped and leaning on crutches, injured Burbank High running back Tanner Bennett could only watch as the seconds ticked off the scoreboard Friday night at the 55th annual football rivalry game against Burroughs. As the final seconds faded to black, Bennett -- a sophomore -- lifted one crutch, smiled and gave a loud cheer in acknowledgment of the Bulldogs' 24-17 cross-town win at Memorial Field. The win was Burbank's first against its rival since 1992, when the Bulldogs prevailed, 21-17.
On track for success
By Jeff Tully
March 12, 2008
MEMORIAL FIELD — Local athletes found the themselves in the heat of competition Saturday at the annual Burbank All-City Meet. Boys and girls' from the three local middle schools — Jordan, John Muir and Luther — took to the track and infield at Memorial Field for the friendly event. Nearly 300 athletes took part in the meet. "We didn't have a lot of records set, but we had some great results from the athletes," said one of the meet's organizers, Kenny Knoop, of Jordan.
On a successful course
December 8, 1999
Jeff Tully BURBANK HIGH -- Two years ago, a 13-year-old Moah Chang followed her father to the golf course to watch him play a round. "When I saw him playing I thought that the sport looked fun, so I started playing," said the Burbank High sophomore. That was when Chang, 15, began an obsession with the sport that has brought her success with the first-year Bulldog program. "I play every day now," Chang said in a matter-of-fact way. "It was hard at first learning the sport, but now it's fun," All of Chang's hard work has seemed to have paid off, as she has turned into a talented golfer for the Bulldogs during their inaugural season.

Innovation-Blocking 3D Printing Patent on Producing Parts by Selective Sintering Expires
Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing had the story yesterday at Key 3D printing patent expired yesterday, writing:
"Yesterday marked the expiry of US Patent 5597589, "Apparatus for producing parts by selective sintering." This is one of the core patents in the 3D printing world -- the patent that allows 3D printer companies to charge more for fine nylon powder than Michelin-starred restaurants charge for filet mignon. The high cost of consumables in 3D printing has been a major barrier to innovation in the field -- selective laser sintering produces a fine finish that the patent-free fused deposition modeling technique used in Reprap-style printers can't match -- and now the brakes are coming off. "This is another example of how patents do not foster innovation and progress, but achieve exactly the opposite.

what exactly makes a sidebar or footer widget enabled?
what enables widget on sidebar/footer is this piece of code:
<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
It probably means little though, so you might want to learn the whole thing up at Automattic.
Hope this helps.
Hmmm ... alot of interst on this topic. Okay, I'll bite, here's an article on the topic you may find useful entitled Add Widget-ready Sidebars to WordPress Footers.
And another article about the same entitled "Howto: A Widget Ready Footer."

Battle of the Bulge (1965)
I went into Battle of the Bulge thinking, "Alright! A nearly three-hour long epic docu-drama on the battle!"
And, unfortunately, I couldn't have been more wrong. I'm not really sure what this movie was supposed to be. When I think of the real Battle of the Bulge, I don't think of the things that were portrayed in this movie. I think of the poor slobs stuck out in the forest freezing their you-know-whats off, practically starving, and being pounded by German artillery.
I don't think of huge, and largely unbelievable tank battles that look like something out of the Revolutionary war. Funny, not until I started writing this did I find that my opinion matched some of the others out there....
...that this was a Western in war-movie clothing. To top it off, the thing is largely dull and uninteresting. We're treated to long and wholly sanitized scenes of gunfights and tank battles, which remind you (painfully) so much of the old western movie cowboy and indian battles. Right down to the over-dramatic and bloodless deaths. If I had a nickel for every schmuck who overacted his death in this movie...well, I'd have enough change for the beer I should have drank beforehand.
To top it off, from what I can tell, few of the events portrayed in the film atually happened. Sorry, guys. Sure there is a visit to the heinous Malmadey massacre, the infiltration by Nazis in GI disguises, McAuliffe's "NUTS" reply... and I suppose they got the strategic aspect of the push more-or-less correct. But the entire reliance on the tank corps. in the film, deciding the entire offensive in one battle at one location, and the introduction of so many fictional characters and situations was just a bit odd.
Not to mention that the entire operation in this movie lasts but a couple of days. Stranger still is Lt. Col. Kiley (Henry Fonda) and his sole observations. Surely not. And I can't not mention the bumbling and out-of-place comic relief (but not that comical anyhow) of Sgt. Guffy (Telly Savales.) His tank's annhiliation, but still drivable, and hey he survives without a scratch!! Um, no.
Sigh. It's just unfortunate I suppose. Battle of the Bulge seems to have been created to appease some sort of studio's need for an "action epic" rather than any kind of factual or believable integrity. I mean, at the very least you could have found someplace that *looked* like it was covered in a foot of snow. Some places in the film did, but most were just merely muddy, and a lot of spots there were still leaves on the bushes. And only at the outset of the picture do we get a feel for the cold and nasty conditions.
I will say that about the only interesting part of the film relates to (the fictional) Col. Hessler's (Robert Shaw) assistant, Cpl. Conrad (Hans Christian Blech.) His falling out with Hessler over the context of the war and how men like Hessler's character are the problem, could have given this picture a lot more depth. Unfortunately it was only briefly touched on, and his throwing down of his rifle at the end should have meant so much more.
Battle of the Bulge could have been a timeless classic, but instead winds up on my B-movie list, having more in common with Cavalry-vs.-Comanche pictures than any war movie. At least they got typecast Nazi Karl-Otto Alberty to play a role as the poor German infantry commander wrapped around Hessler's pinkie.
(P.S.) And what is the deal with the OVERTURE and EXIT MUSIC plates? Yet another aspect of the film that screams it took itself way too seriously! On actually good movies this is awesome. Here not so much.)

The German offensive in December 1944 became the basis for this all-star Hollywood take on the Battle of the Bulge. Henry Fonda is an officer who predicts the assault, Robert Ryan and Dana Andrews are Army brass skeptical of his intuitions, and Robert Shaw (his hair dyed yellow and his eyes glinting with malice) is a German officer leading the tank attack...

New DVD BULGE has all the FAT put back in!,
Justin Playfair (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battle of the Bulge (DVD)The issue of the DVD today has yielded a few surprises. There is some interesting material included in the DVD with the Theatrical Trailer, Interviews with the Director and Robert Shaw and also a short Black and White film is shown on how it was filmed including footage of the German military advisor who insured an accurate detailing of uniforms, events, etc. in this basically fictitious account of the famous battle of world war 2. Now what needs to be said is that this is a polished transfer of the widescreen film. The overture is put back and all of the extras that were usually cut. Including the "Panzerlied" gathering of tank commanders that is sometimes missing from television broadcasts as well as the "save the son but shoot the father" scene. The musical score by Frankel is one of the best made in a war film presentation in a full orchestra by the New philharmonic. They have restored the original soundtrack to the DVD and it is impressive for a movie that was made in the 60's... Read more

Restored to its Former Glory on DVD,
Kevin R. Austra (Delaware Valley, USA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Battle of the Bulge [VHS] (VHS Tape)THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE is a great war movie. It contains everything you could hope to find a cinematic military classic: Action, tank battles, outstanding pyrotechnics, superb cast, and wonderful soundtrack. Before I continue I want to make it clear that movie THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE should not be confused with the historical Ardennes Offensive. THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE is essentially an action-packed cowboy and indian movie with the Americans as the cowboys and the Germans as the indians. If you watch the film with this understanding you will enjoy it much more.
For the first time, possibly ever, the complete film is presented on DVD in wide-screen. Scenes that have been missing for decades have been restored to the film. Now you can see Lt. Col. Hessler marching between the parked rows of tanks, Hessler's introduction to the English-speaking commandos, the Belgian sniper scene, Charles Bronson's confrontation with Robert Shaw in Ambleve, and the lieutenant (James...

This review is from: Battle of the Bulge [VHS] (VHS Tape)BLU-RAY REVIEW
I am updating this review (Dec. 9, 2008) to address the Blu-Ray edition of this movie which I feel is worthy of praise. In addition to a very impressive 1080p high definition picture which has nice contrast, vibrant colors and a fantastic level of detail (just witness the Christmas tree and flags in the first scene between Henry Fonda and Robert Ryan), the Blu-Ray also boasts a scene specific audio commentary featuring Director Ken Annakin and actor James MacArthur.
The two are obviously very good friends and the commentary strikes a nice balance between technical details, preproduction and filming background and friendly chatter. I found it enjoyable.
The Blu-Ray also transfers over the two vintage featurettes and theatrical trailer found on the DVD, but the addition of the audio commentary and the superior high definition picture makes this an easy recommendation for an upgrade from the subpar DVD format.
I read the concerns over "fogging"n some of... Read more

Summary: Battle of the Bulge could have been a timeless classic, but instead winds up on my B-movie list, having more in common with Cavalry-vs.-Comanche pictures than any war movie. At least they got typecast Nazi Karl-Otto Alberty to play a role as the poor German infantry commander wrapped around Hessler's pinkie.
One Response to Battle of the Bulge (1965)
Forget it Patton, We don't need you afterall. We rolled a bunch of oil drums down a hill and destroyed the whole German army.

Hurricane Patricia, the Strongest Storm in Recorded History, Will Hit Mexico on Friday
The Category 5 hurricane could put 4 million Mexico residents in danger.
The Category 5 hurricane could put 4 million Mexico residents in danger.
Ten years after Hurricane Katrina, we revisited the horrific story of the inmates who were stuck in the hellish Orleans Parish Prison.
VICE News spoke with those still suffering from the effects of the hurricane and investigated what's being done to bolster New York's coastal communities and protect the population from future storms.
There was a moment a couple of days ago while being blasted in the face by a 50 mph concoction of dust, manure, and hail that I thought, Enjoy yourself, you're on vacation. I was storm chasing in the Midwest. This was the result of an unhealthy ap…
I wish I could say "Hurricane Sandy developed this guy's film" or some such punched-up header, but as whimsically dreamy as these images are, that likely isn't the case.
Yes, a bunch of people who head out to the middle of a desert in Nevada every year to do a bunch of drugs, dress up like gay aliens, and light a bunch of shit on fire have formed what appears to be an extremely efficient charitable organization that helps…
If the theory that homosexuals caused Sandy turns out to be false, the only other top fallback suspect has to be global warming, right? And that shit is supposedly only getting worse by the day.
In Hurricane Sandy's wake, blacked-out New York City's biggest charging station was like a 21st Century bonfire.
There are a great many reasons why we love disasters, and none of them have to do with enjoying the suffering of others. So take some comfort. We're not into disasters because we're secretly evil villains; we're into disasters (in large part) to connect t…
With Hurricane Sandy getting out of our hair, the Pentagon is calling for a full-fledged, disaster-ready robot squad.
A freak occurrence, two storm systems colliding, has thrown the East Cost into turmoil. The term "Franken-X" is now routinely deployed to denote anything that has been stitched together from a foreboding amalgam of parts. But this time the term rings true…
Hurricane Isaac has just finished popping in to say "Hi!" to the Gulf Coast, and has undoubtedly destroyed many people's worldly belongings. If you lived in its path, what would you have saved?

Hi there!
I'm using Matala theme for my blog. The trouble is that on the corner with post date I still may see just a code specifying the date format.
Here how it looks -> http://artforjoy.com/date-corner.png
The strangest part of it is that if I change the code in any part of functions.php from unspecified
get_the_time() to
get_the_time( 'M' ) it shows me that M or anything I write there!
But if keep it empty no matter
get_the_time() or
get_the_date() it shows full date or month whatever.
Can anybody help me, please? =3

Hard on the heels of the Eee PC 900 comes the 901, now sporting a shiny new Intel Atom processor
At first glance, there's little to separate the latest 901 version of the Asus mini-laptop from the 900 model that was released less than two months ago. So now the casework is subtly restyled, giving gentler rounded corners, and the finish is glossier, where the previous model was satin. But the important difference lies in Asus' choice of processor. Out goes the 900MHz Celeron, and in comes 1.6GHz of brand new Intel Atom.
Lifting the lid, we have the same 8.9in screen, a useful step up from the 7in of the original Eee PC 701, allowing the display to fill out the lid space more naturally.
Like the 900 its brightness and contrast are rather limited and there's still a sparkly patina which further obscures fine resolution.
Looking around the chassis, we have the same array of ports and sockets - ethernet, USB, audio in and out jacks on the left side; VGA monitor out, two USB and multi-format card reader on the right. The only change here is the DC power socket which has moved from the rear position to the right side.
We did find the trackpad a little easier to use now. While the actual trackpad is still lacking in correct pinpoint precision, requiring some care to resize windows, for example, the click buttons are now much softer, improving the general feel here.
NEXT PAGE: the Atom processor, Wi-Fi and performance > >

Hard on the heels of the Eee PC 900 comes the 901, now sporting a shiny new Intel Atom processor
The new Atom processor is designed especially for low-power devices like the Eee PC, and can be under- and overclocked on the fly. So while the nominal speed is 1.6GHz – an impressive-sounding figure for such a tiny system – the 900 can be dropped to 1.2GHz to further improve battery life. And when a little extra power is required, there's a Super Performance mode, accessible from the bottom menu bar, or through a dedicated button between the screen hinge and keyboard.
There are five buttons here: the leftmost one will switch off the screen, the second resizes screen resolution, the third controls processor speed as discussed, while the fourth is set as a quick launch for Skype. Both these last two buttons can actually be reassigned to other functions using Instant Key from the system's Settings page. And the rightmost button is a power switch, which calls up onscreen options for Task Manager, Standby, Restart or Shut Down.
Wireless capability has been upgraded to 802.11n, although while we could connect to an 802.11g home router easily enough, we experienced problems in joining any of several office networks.
Our review sample was the Linux version, fitted with a total of 20GB of solid-state storage. Divided into 14.4GB and 3.8GB of usable space, the operating system resides on the smaller of these two drives, leaving the larger for all your personal files. Additionally, Asus is offering up to 20GB of free online storage through its YOStore application included with the OS.
In general use, the Eee PC 901 performed well, even if it was not as snappy in its interface as the lightweight operating system, 1GB RAM, and faster processor would suggest.
Perhaps most important after the change of processor, a larger 6600mAh battery is fitted as standard, and this bodes well for extended unwired use. In our initial tests this gave us around 5 hours 30 minutes of battery life.
See our Laptop Advisor website for expert reviews of today's best laptops, plus read our essential advice to make sure you choose the right specs
The Eee PC 901 remains an attractive proposition for computing on the move. With its larger battery and lower-power processor, it's not far from achieving a full working day's use without the use of mains power - and that ought to be the goal for any ultraportable that has aims to be a dependable netbook.

Shutdown logic using .NETPosted Monday, 29 June, 2009 - 15:32 by kvark in
I'm porting my C++ GLFW-based game engine to BOO & OpenTK.
One of the major problems I encountered is implementing Shutdown logic. This logic is designed to destroy all objects that use GL context-depending data to be actually destroyed in GameWindow::Unload() method, just before the context itself is destroyed. In C++ I just had smart pointers that did all the job perfectly, except that I had to do my own reference counting. How can one implement shutdown logic in .NET properly?
Right now Garbage Collector tries to destroy my Shader objects after the GameWindow closed, causing exceptions to rise on GL.DeleteShader. The same with textures & VBO's. One of possible solutions is to perform try-except on any GL resource freeing. Is there a more proper way?
The trick is that you cannot delete OpenGL resources from the finalizer thread. The solution is to implement the IDisposable pattern for all resources - check out the code from a recent thread for a possible implementation.
Question: are you sure you need to deallocate resources on shutdown? If you don't plan to actually reuse the context, you could just exit without cleaning up: OpenTK will delete the context, which will in turn free all allocated resources. The OS will take care of the rest when the process is torn down.
Of course, you'll probably have to implement IDisposable anyway, to take care of resource deallcation while the game is running (e.g. on level changes), but deallocating everything on shutdown sounds like overkill.
Thanks for pointing me to the close topic.
I've read some docs criticizing IDisposable (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/idisposable.aspx) and decided not to mess with it for now.
Answer: No, I'm not sure. I know that OS will delete all context-related stuff on context closing.
BTW, the context is not destroyed properly in my app (using OpenTK-0.9.8-1 & Boo):
Destroy event fired from window: Windows.WindowInfo: Handle 3212484, Parent (null)
GameWindowExitException caught - exiting main loop.
Restoring priority.
Disposing context 131072.
Destroying window: Windows.WindowInfo: Handle 3212484, Parent (null)
Input window detached from parent 3212484.
[Warning] Failed to release device context -1442770760. Windows error: 1412.
Hm, can you please file a bug report about this error? Never seen it before.
Edit: the error code doesn't really make sense, it means "Class still has open windows." . We are not even trying to dispose the class at this point!
Just to mention: in the log the context is disposed before window is destroyed.
This seems to be correct behavior as window actually holds the context...
Thanks. It seems that the render (OpenGL) context is destroyed correctly. The warning refers to a potential device context leak, which is relatively harmless nowadays (in theory you could run out of memory or DCs if you *really* tried, but this is unlikely in practice).
Still, I'll try to reproduce and fix this.

Concrete milestone lowered in to place for new Moreton Bay Rail Link
- From: Quest Newspapers
- December 17, 2012
Giant concrete girders were lifted in to position on the new Kinsellas Road East bridge last week in a milestone for the $1.147 billion Moreton Bay Rail Link.
The steel-lined and concrete-filled girders are a key visible part of the first major construction project for the new rail link.
Photographer Chris Higgins and on-site engineer Emma Jackson covered the arrival and installation of the giant girders.
GALLERY: Historic day for rail link
When completed, the bridge will provide one lane in each direction, cycle lanes, a pedestrian footpath, a new roundabout at the intersection with Mango Hill Boulevard and a new road connection at Kinsellas Road East with Anzac Avenue.
The bridge is being built to the east of the existing road and will one day connect with the North South Urban Arterial, a proposed link between Bald Hills to Mango Hill.
It is expected to be completed mid year with construction of the rail corridor, including the tracks, structures and six new stations, to start in the second half on 2013.
The new rail link is expected to be completed in late 2016.

Smaller shipyards could collapse in industry upheaval
China's shipbuilding industry is set for an upheaval likely to lead to the collapse of smaller, privately owned shipyards, according to a leading analyst with a Norwegian bank.
Thor Andre Lunder, offshore equity researcher for DnB NOR Markets in Singapore, said that with overcapacity among mainland shipbuilders, 'it is likely small yards will disappear rather than consolidate'.
He doubts the two large shipbuilding groups, China State Shipbuilding Corp and China Shipbuilding Industry Corp, would be interested in consolidating the industry. CSSC already owns shipyards in Shanghai and to the south of the Pearl River Delta, while China Shipbuilding owns facilities north of Shanghai in the Bohai Sea.
Different sources estimate the number of mainland shipyards capable of building ships for big export markets at 1,500 to 3,500.
Mainland shipyards saw a resurgence in orders after the worst effects of the financial crisis started to ease last year. Figures from the China Association of National Shipbuilding Industry show mainland shipyards won orders totalling 9.5 million deadweight tonnes last July, the highest monthly total since the crisis began in August 2008. But Lunder said the number of new building orders had recently started to tail off. He forecast that shipyards would 'struggle for the next two or three years' while 'margins would be squeezed'.
He thinks that China's shipbuilders will try to build everything from small dry-cargo ships to 420,000 deadweight tonne iron ore carriers, and larger shipbuilding groups will diversify. This will include building large 'drillships' - ships fitted with drilling apparatus - that can cost US$500 million, and sophisticated floating, production and storage tankers for the offshore oil industry.
He said China would consolidate its position as the largest shipbuilding nation, competing with South Korea for orders of large vessels.
Figures from the shipbuilding association said China had 46 per cent of new orders in the first half of this year, compared with Korea's 38 per cent. 'It doesn't matter whether owners build in South Korea or China so long as there is sufficient supervision' of the work, Lunder said.
He said mainland shipyards traditionally had a lower cost base than their Asian and European competitors, which combined with financial support from provincial and national governments and banks, gave them an edge.

Can two become one? That is just one question asked this intimate and impressionistic look at by the art and life of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV founder Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and his partner, Lady Jaye. Their aspiration to unite bodies and art is a paean as much to creation as it is to love.
Delinquent girl gangs invade MUBI! Oh yes: We're featuring the Stray Cat Rock series of low-budget, high-ingenuity Japanese pop-exploitation. This is the one that started it all, directed by B-genre master Yasuharu Hasebe (Retaliation) and featuring pop stars Akiko Wada and Meiko Kaji.
From 1808 to 1984: French New Wave director Éric Rohmer always worked to capture the quintessence of his film's characters and their era. We move from Germany's romantic past to bracingly contemporary Paris in this rich, fresh and epoch-defining gem led by the utterly enchanting Pascale Ogier.
This week, a double feature contrasting two sides of beloved New Wave director Éric Rohmer. For one of only a few period films he made, Rohmer went to West Germany to adapt a 1808 novella by Kleist! Yet the film is a sumptuous joy, delving into past romantic relations just as complex as those today.
Shot fast on the heels of Nosferatu, using the same crew, star, and location, Woyzeck is a tight Herzogian psychodrama of civilized insanity and murder most foul. Filmed largely in long takes, it showcases possibly Kinski's best performance: subtle, human, and ready to explode.
The greatest photographer of the 20th century? Quite possibly. This ode to Henri Cartier-Bresson, touring through his photos of Parisian streets, the Spanish Civil War, and beyond, makes the case simply but convincingly: filming Bresson himself, showing us the brilliant work singing its praises.
What more can be said about John Ford's immortal classic, when all you need to do is watch? Its DNA is everywhere from Kurosawa to Firefly, but the original rip-roaring, sharp-eyed, quick-drawing adventure is still a masterclass. And when the camera dollied in on John Wayne, a star was born.
An ethereal musician behind which lay so much pain and instability: that's the mystery of this documentary on Texan troubadour Townes Van Zandt. Extensive and wonderful archive footage tell one story, the tales of friends, family and admirers something else. And then there's the great, great music.
French director Stéphane Brizé recently turned heads when his The Measure of a Man picked up the Best Actor prize at Cannes for star Vincent Lindon. Catch up on this auteur and his leading man with this 2009 collaboration, a heartfelt romance whose nuanced, incisive screenplay won Brizé a César.
Our final rare film from Jacques Rivette is generally considered a failure—but what a failure! Two 1970s greats—Maria Schneider and Joe Dallesandro—collide in a bewildering, free-wheeling experimental drama that sent the director into a breakdown and left the film unjustly unreleased for years.
Our epic Herzog series enters its last round! Revisiting F.W. Murnau's classic, Herzog made a unique, elemental take on Dracula: a haunting vision of life, death, and superstition, aglow with color and finding pity for Kinski's deathless wraith. With Isabelle Adjani, the carnal queen of Euro-horror.
One of America's greatest, but perennially under-funded and under-appreciated filmmakers, Charles Burnett, the director of the lyrical L.A. ghetto portrait Killer of Sheep, here focuses with skewering vision on police and race relations. Made twenty years ago, the era still feels much like our own.
Here's a treasure from the vaults: the directing debut of Billy Wilder, a comedy made in France in between his flight from Germany and his arrival in Hollywood. Starring Danielle Darrieux (Madame de…), it shows Wilder's sweet-and-sour sensibility, mixing romance and cynicism, comedy and drama.
Our hothouse Radley Metzger double bill climaxes with Camille 2000. Criticized as purely pornographic in the newly X-rated world of 1969, this erotic tale (adapted from Alexandre Dumas) is also a campy melodrama, a chic piece of 60s pop art, and a provocateur's test of the new freedoms of cinema.
Presenting our most risque double bill: Radley Metzger! The death of censorship left a brief hope that erotic films could be legit cinema, and Metzger was a celebrated, scandalous practitioner. This 1970 gem doubles as sly meta-commentary. Warhol called it a masterpiece. Where you land is up to you.
The next subject of our Summer Concert Series is this smooth-voiced pop singer, who's best known for the opening theme of Midnight Cowboy but whose legacy is so much bigger. Featuring interviews with Randy Newman, Yoko Ono, and more, it's a tribute to an underrated musician's place in pop history.
Our next rare film from New Waver Jacques Rivette is what Jonathan Rosenbaum describes as a fusion of a female pirate adventure, mythological fantasy, Jacobean tragedy, experimental dance film, and personal psychodrama, for a wildly risky film that now seems unimaginable today.
Thai auteur Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's gorgeous, languid, Sundance-playing drama. Its lackadaisical melancholy is perfectly embodied by Japanese film star Tadanobu Asano, who buries himself in the exquisitely muted colors of legendary cinematographer Christopher Doyle. Watch for Takashi Miike's cameo!
We conclude our highlights from the Locarno Film Festival with this stellar Swiss co-production. An audacious debut, it (ad)ventures into the Portuguese countryside to explore a man's life (shot across a gorgeous landscape) in ways that go beyond the boundaries of normal documentaries.
For our final two selections of films being shown from the Locarno Film Festival come from the Swiss Panorama section, highlighting the best of recent Swiss productions. In Esen Isik's feature debut, the Turkish director explores the tensions and passions of those who live on Istanbul's margins.
A lightweight favorite films from Locarno last year is Russian-born Pierre Léon's slim, comedic adaptation of Dostoyevsky's "The Double." Its charming insider cast includes auteur Serge Bozon, Truffaut's enchanting granddaughter, film historian Bernard Eisenschitz, and New Wave secret Jackie Raynal.
Up-and-coming director Benjamín Naishtat prize-winning third film is an audaciously stark and powerful tale of the Argentine frontier. In this small film with impressive ambition—and stunning black and white cinematography—Naishtat cleverly envisions a crucial moment in his nation's history.
Each August the Swiss town of Locarno hosts a festival showing some of the year's best discoveries. We celebrate this year's edition with favorites, intimate and provocative, that recently premiered there, beginning with Columbian director Oscar Ruíz Navia's follow-up to his acclaimed gem Crab Trap.
This month, we pay tribute to Jacques Rivette, the best kept secret of the New Wave, whose free-form tales of conspiracy and game-playing inspire clandestine fervor. He followed his masterpiece Celine and Julie Go Boating with this phantasmal noir, starring the great Juliet Berto and Bulle Ogier.
After the discretion of Wendy and Lucy Kelly Reichardt surprised us with her own take on the Western genre: intensely focused, fascinatingly observant, and loaded with portent. It continues Reichardt's rich partnership with Michelle Williams, but it is Bruce Greenwood as Meek who steals the show.
We're showcasing a new restoration of stalwart American independent Kelly Reichardt's debut, which premiered at Sundance this year alongside her latest film, Certain Women. A fugitive drama, its dedication to outcasts in the American landscape would become a hallmark of this very special director.
After 12 years away, Kelly Reichardt returned to independent filmmaking with this small scale but beguiling portrait of two men, no longer young, not quite old, trying to resume a friendship. With a lush Oregon setting and precise social detail—a director hallmark—she made a road movie in miniature.
We're devoting a 4-film series to Kelly Reichardt to celebrate the new restoration of her debut, River of Grass. Our tribute begins with the movie that opened this independent, socially inquisitive American sensibility to a larger public: her powerful first collaboration with Michelle Williams.
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the passing of a legend: Fritz Lang. Easily one of the most iconic films ever made, his classic future shock is still thrilling: a propulsive sci-fi epic, a mind-blowing visual symphony, and a time-honored gateway to the marvels of silent film. Restored in HD.

Odds of Getting In
The odds of getting in are pretty good; there's not a lot of competition out there for this career. It may, however, be difficult to find a class near you.
If there's nothing in your area, you may be stuck going the formal route, studying somewhere like the American College of Building Arts and majoring in forged architectural ironwork. Other majors at art colleges to consider include art metals, welding technology, blacksmithing, and collage.
Okay, so the collage degree won't actually help you become a great blacksmith, but you'll probably bring home a lot of cool stuff.
Long story short, blacksmiths who know how to blacksmith and have somewhat reliable access to a forge and materials are already blacksmiths. There's not a lot of "getting in" from there.
