May is here, and although we won't miss those April showers one bit, business owners can keep it raining in the warmer weather with these May-inspired revenue generators:
- May Flowers: Many of us have used the promise of May's sunshine and beautiful blooms as inspiration to push onward through the frigid, cloudy, rainy suck months known as "March" and "April." Adding some lovely arrangements to your decor is not only a great way to cheer up your customers, but it can also help you drive some additional revenue! According to Linda Cahan, a retail design consultant out of Oregon, bright colors like yellow and red help grab and hold a customer's attention. She says that yellow is actually the first color the retina detects, which is why it captivates our awareness so effectively. So, put those brightly colored blooms to work! Draw your customers' attention to strategic places (like your dessert or cocktail menu, or marketing materials for special promotions) by surrounding it with the floral bounty of May!
- Menu updates: Spring cleaning isn't just for your hall closet! May offers a variety of opportunities for sprucing up that menu with themed specialty items! Mother's Day and Cinco de Mayo are quickly approaching, and are bursting with themed-menu potential. Why not add Angel Food cake (because mothers are angels!) or specialty mimosas (because they're angels who need to drank!). For Cinco de Mayo (5th) try out some new Mexican style desserts like Fried Ice Cream or chocolate ice cream infused with Cayenne powder for some heat.
- Special campaigns and promotions: Most people know that Mother's Day and Memorial Day (25th) happen in May. As with any high-traffic holiday, those are fantastic opportunities for leveraging the increase in transaction volume to incentivise growth in your loyalty program. But what about capitalizing on lesser-appreciated May holidays- like May Day (1st), National Star Wars Day (4th) or National Teacher's Day (6th)? Putting together unexpected promotional campaigns and offers is a great way to surprise and delight your customers! Plus, advertising a Star Wars Day promotion on your Facebook or Twitter Page is bound to be shared and retweeted. Can you say organic social media marketing?!

Port Elizabeth - Staff at the Shamwari Nature Reserve outside Port Elizabeth are enraged after a rhinoceros was found dead beside her dehorned calf on Monday, Die Burger newspaper reported on Tuesday."It's gruesome," a source at the reserve, who wanted to remain anonymous, told the newspaper."It's just fucking blood. They didn't even use a chainsaw to take off her horn. They used a machete or something to hack it out."Joe Cloete, the managing director of the Schamwari group said the killing was a tragedy.The last time a rhino was killed at the reserve was in December 2008.The rhino cow and her male calf had been shot with a tranquilliser.The source said the calf survived because its horn was neatly sawn off. The rhino were found beside a waterhole.By Monday afternoon, the calf's chances of surviving looked good, Cloete said."He is under the supervision of our vet Dr Johan Joubert and will be taken to our animal rehabilitation centre," Cloete said.Last week, the World Wildlife Fund said the number of rhinos poached in South Africa had reached a record high.Statistics from SA National Parks show that 341 animals have been lost to poaching so far in 2011, compared to a record total of 333 in 2010, the fund said in a statement.Two more rhino were killed in Mpumalanga at the weekend.The latest Eastern Cape killing would bring that number to 344.Three of the five rhino species globally are critically endangered.
Stuffing poachers... Should saw their "horn" off and see what it's like...
Shoot to kill - don't ask any questions.
To Shamwari - I am so sorry about your loss.
Shoot these f#$%ers on site!! No questions asked.
My sentiments exactly! Shoot first,then,if still possible, ask questions later!
You have to catch them too shoot them. I went to a game reserve Near Mosselbaai & where they have 3 Rhino's. They have 24/7 armed security watching them. But it is small enough to make this possible. Governments need to educate their people that Rhino horn is very similar to finger nails & has no medicinal value and perhaps they should chew and eat their nails if they need a cure
and this for a horn with no medical benefits! IDIOTS!
This should carry the harshest sentance... not the slap on the wrist these poachers get when caught, and eventually prosecuted.
They just get R5000.00 bail and are back to poaching the next day. The death sentence is the only way to stop them
This is truly very sad and totally unnecessary. I really wish that Government and the WWF would do more to protect our depleting rhino population. Hope the poachers and their syndicates rot in hell!!
What the F(&%$ is wrong with these F&^%$ people.... I hope one day they burn for in Hell for killing such a Beautiful Animal... This sh^$ must stop. Government need to put more resources into stopping these Apes from taking something so Great and destroying it.....
This has now gone too far. Surely there has to be some way of stopping this or is it that some that have rank dont want it to stop? I am sick inside to know that people can be so heartless, cruel and to let greed rule their lives. I would blow those choppers out the sky if I saw any hovering over a game reserve belonging to me that I do not know about.
I have no more words. My heart just breaks for these poor animals :(
Have recently been to Zambia and there all rhinos are followed around 24/7 by game rangers who have orders to shoot poachers on site - no trial, no questions, no process at all. At least it has stopped the poaching there, but I can't bring myself to endorse these measures.
Maybe that's the only message these thugs can understand.
Why? I ask....why? And nothing is done about it...Cut off their nose and leave them to die! BASTARDS!
Dear Asia,
South Africa
May their fingers turn into fish hooks and their balls begin to itch....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone create a site showing poachers who have been shot and killed so we can celebrate the possible escape of some Rhino.
I wish Malema was a Rhino
De-horn all the Rhinos until Asia realises it doesnt help with medicinal cures.Theres no point in poisining the horns because the Rhino will still get slaughtered before the lil Jap or Chinaman dies from the poison. Rather Rhinos with no horns then no Rhinos at all! Wake up South African Government....this affects the tourism!!
This f----g government is too busy picking out their new luxury planes to worry about rhinoes.
Our Shoot to Kill Policy with regards poachers is too good for them......
Dear Government. We really need you to take a MUCH HARSHER stance on this issue! Have you moved for urgent legislation change to allow MAXIMUM SENTENCE for any crime whatsoever relating to rhino poaching!? Are you yet to announce a HUGE FINANCIAL REWARD for any info that may lead to prosecution!? And have you done everything within your means to make it public!? As in PUBLIC!!? As in campaign campaign campaign!? Just wake the hell up and do something for heaven's sake!!!
The whole chain of those concerned are a bunch of bladdy savages. Who in their right mind would do this to a living being? It is time the 'people' stood up for our wildlife and shoot to maim and then let them die a slow and painful death - just like the animals poached. My blood is boiling.
I believe we don't actually know the total number killed this last weekend.
Another Rhino was killed by poachers this weekend near Hoedspruit. Very sad. Have the animal permits department been audited and checked for corrupt staff yet? Maybe that where the leaks are coming from?
The killing of every Rhino, be it by poachers or so called "legitimate hunters" should bring a national outcry. This is not an animal that gets hunted for its meat, because someone is hungry, it is killed and hunted because of greed. This is not something that can be solved overnight, but South Africans must be made aware that it is their National heritage that is being stolen from their children's children.
Whats this stupid governement doing bout it?? Shoot to kill!! And if any government officials are close by, stray bullets are welcome.

Project Name: Environmental Administration and Management of the Cerros de Jesús Biological Corridor Managing Organization, country: Fundación Cerros de Jesús, Costa Rica
Project director: Floribeth Venegas Soto
Synopsis: The Cerros de Jesús encompass approximately 8,000 acres (3200 hectares) in the Tempisque River watershed and comprise part of the area of influence of Barra Honda National Park on Nicoya Peninsula, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The Cerros de Jesús Foundation (FUNCEJE) is trying to reconcile local residents' needs to earn a decent living with ecosystem conservation within a biological corridor.
Annual budget and donors: $20,000 from Costa Rica's Environment and Energy Ministry; US Peace Corps; Fundación Café Forestal; and the Global Envi-ronment Facility/Small Grants Program of Costa Rica.
Lessons Learned: Dialogue and consensus-building have been effective tools for reconciliation among various stakeholder interests.
- Solidarity and altruism with local organizations have been a principle that builds trust in the population toward the initiative.
- National policies involving incentives and disincentives for landowners have been useful mechanisms for sound administration of resources on private property.
- Community environmental management should provide tangible assets to families so they are motivated to get involved.
- Use of legal tools like endowments and activities that strengthen local organizations financially and organizationally over the medium and long term are vitally important.

Review for Lincoln Park Community Shelter, Chicago, IL, USA
I have been a volunteer at the Lincoln Park Community Shelter for over 8 years and have had wonderful experiences each time I visit to help out. Our group has been a part of the Meal group in that we purchase food, cook and serve for 35 guests of the Shelter. The Staff at LPCS is amazing, and you can really feel a sense of community with their assistance in training these guests to get job skills and housing. I have highly recommended to friends and family if they ever are looking for volunteer opportunities or charity options, LPCS is a great choice!

Michigan State added some help on defense by going out-of-state to land Bethlehem (Pa.) Freedom defensive end Colin Neely.
The 6-foot-2, 250-pounder with 4.7-second speed chose the Spartans over offers from Penn State, Minnesota, West Virginia, Rutgers, Iowa and Boston College.
"I felt like it was the best fit for me. They were the first school to offer me and they stayed loyal to me the whole time," he said on Sunday night. "I just like that they're an up-and-coming program. I didn't want to go to the best schools instead I wanted somewhere average and make them better.
Article Continues Below
"My recruiting coach (Stoutland) is one of my friends and every time we talk, it's about other stuff and not even football. I thought he was the best. Then when I went up there for a visit it was beautiful. I talked to some of the players and they said the school isn't the easiest, but it also isn't the hardest."
Neely is glad to have a decision behind him so he can focus on his game next season.
"I knew when I made it, it was a great decision. The pressure if off me and now I feel better," he said. "The thing I want to work on most is taking over football games. I just want to put the whole game in my hands and make plays every down instead of just on first and third. I want to make it on offense and defense through four quarters."
The No. 31 player in Pennsylvania told the coaches of his decision last week.
"I told coach Stoutland on Wednesday and then I talked to coach John L. Smith a couple days ago and they were both happy," he said. "Coach Smith said he just watched my film and he was thanking God I went there. He told me that when I leave here I should be an All-American, we were both excited."
What in particular have the coaches liked about Neely?
"They really like my motor and the fact that I make plays no matter where the ball is going," he said. "I'm everywhere on the field. That's what I do best, I'm a playmaker and when they need a play I'll do it."
The coaches plan to move their newest commitment around between outside linebacker and defensive end.
"I can play up, down, blitz over here and there, they feel I can play everywhere."
The all-conference prospect plans to talk to coach Stoutland soon about setting up an official visit.
"I'm not sure which game I'm going to this year, but I'm going to get to one."
Neely caught 20 receptions for 400 yards and four touchdowns and added 60 tackles and 10 sacks on defense as a junior.

Stream Princess Tutu Episode 1
Episode Summary: Duck awakes from a dream in which she is a duck watching a handsome prince dance ballet. Later, she walks early into class and discovers Mytho, a student in the advanced class, dancing alone. She has a nerve-racking conversation with him before Fakir, another student, walks in. Fakir is revealed to be domineering and condescending towards Mytho. In ballet class, we learn that Mytho is dating a girl named Rue. The teacher is a cat, yet Duck is the only one in the class to find this strange. Rue is revealed to be a talented girl in the advanced class, who most of the students look up to. After class, Duck goes to the boy's dorm to apologize to Mytho for accidentally causing him to injure his leg. Before she can work up the courage to go in, Fakir stops her and turns her away. Later that night, Duck regrets not being able to apologize to Mytho, and ponders his lonely eyes. She wishes to help him, catching the attention of the mysterious Drosselmeyer, who says to himself: "As the water flows, time has begun to move. Now, let me listen to your story!" The next morning, Fakir goes to the library. As Duck resolves to apologize to Mytho, she spies canary chicks on the dorm roof beginning to fly. One of the fledglings hesitates, and is forced to jump when a raven attacks it. Mytho leaps to catch the bird, and falls as well. To save him, Duck transforms into Princess Tutu. The bird flies away, and Mytho asks who she is. Tutu/Duck remembers that she is a duck, and runs away. The story has begun.

GEC36 Assault Rifle Replica
GEC36 RIS is a replica manufactured by G&G belonging to a GT Advanced series, which is characteristic for its very good quality craftsmanship - both on the inside and outside. The replicas appear incredibly solid and are very efficient on the airsoft battlefield - i.e. they have all that is necessary to make you happy! G&G joins other manufacturers that include in their offer a replica of a well-known and loved German-constructed assault rifle that is a part of equipment of special forces units all around the world. Therefore it puts its replica on the top shelf - by excellent imitation of the live firearm original in terms of size, weight and materials.
The replica, as the original, live firearm is mostly made from a light and durable polymer reinforced with fibreglass. Parts made from metal (including high quality aluminium) include: the outer barrel, front RIS rails, flash hider and iron sights. GEC36 features a bolt replica in a "Heavy Bolt" version - made from steel, which makes its mass much bigger than in other competitive replicas and thus close as in gas replicas to the weight of live firearm original.
The assault rifle is equipped with a long, 22 mm RIS rail on the top handle, which enables the attachment of a wide array of optical devices. Under the handguard is located a rail and inside a box are two additional side rails available for attachment at the user's leisure. The receiver material features an anti-slip, rough texture also the replica features a stock foldable to the side with a comfortable, rubber stock pad. The battery is stored inside the handguard - it can be quickly removed upon the removal of a single mounting pin.
An accurate craftsmanship, characteristic for G&G, can also be expected inside the replica. The replica features a reinforced V.3 gearbox equipped with metal, 8mm ball bearings, powered by a short, 25000 RPM Hi-torque motor.
The mid-cap magazine was made from polymer as in the live firearm original. The 110 BB magazine has latches that enable joining together of several magazines. A special construction of the receiver allows for firing of every single last BB.
Attention: Due to a slightly different shape of the latch, magazines are not fully compatible with products from other manufacturers. We recommend usage of a dedicated G&G magazine: http://gunfire.pl/product-pol-1152206627-Magazynek-mid-cap-110-kulek-do-repliki-GEC36.html
The set does not include a battery or a charger.
The set includes:
- magazine
- magazine speedloader
- cleaning rod
- manual

|Velocity [FPS]:
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
|Propulsion / Powered by:
|Gearbox version:
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
v3 Gearbox
|Type of fire:
Single, auto
|Diameter of bearings in GB [mm]:
|Lenght [mm]:
The length of the replca is measured between the two most distant points of each other. Different models have several of these values, because of its design allows to increase or decrease it length (eg. folding stock or extended flash hider).

This is a value that includes the weight of the replica, magazine and other accessories that are include in set without a battery, charger, cleaning rod, etc., etc.
|Magazine type:
Mid-Cap magazine
|Magazine capacity [pcs]:
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
Yes, adjustable
|Blow Back:
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.
|Made of:
Metal + plastic
|Battery included:

current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery

Bangarang!Want more stuff like this? Then again, time works differently in Neverland. Posted February 16, 2017 by Kelly WooThis Lost Boy wants to be found again.Dante Basco, who played wisecracking Rufio in the 1991 film "Hook" opposite the late Robin Williams, has been trying to make a follow-up movie about his character for some time. Like us on Facebook. Now, he's opened a Kickstarter campaign to raise $30,000 for a short film titled "Bangarang" that would explore Rufio's origin story.As the Kickstarter's page says, the short would be a prequel set in the modern day focusing on a 13-year-old Rufio "before the mohawk, before Neverland, before he was The Pan." The tough Filipino foster kid finds a ragtag group of friends as he tries to "escape his ill fate, find his happy thought and fulfill his destiny."It's unclear how the story is set in the modern day, since "Hook" was set in 1991.
He entered a VHS video competition. It's always been that, and we always laugh, because if you look at the staff of "Robot Chicken," my first sold scripts were dramas with Geoff Johns as my writing partner. I actually think it'd be fun. It's a tightrope that you walk, and as long as you're aware of it, you're allowed to do a little more with it.Matt and Zeb, how long have you guys worked together?Wells: Off and on, for 10 years now. I'm friends with these people, and I know that's a dangerous thing and people say not to do it, but I like going to work and smiling every day. Then it comes to us, and we're reading it, giving notes, or reading it in the booth doing it. Ask Warren Buffett: "All right, Warren, what's your secret?" He goes, "Well, just make more right decisions than wrong ones." I swear to God that's what he says. I know that Vince [Gilligan] wouldn't do anything that would damage the overall brand that he's worked so hard to develop on a stunt-cast kind of thing. Whoever is more stubborn wins.Senreich: When you know someone for as long as we've known each other, it doesn't feel like there's ever a wrong way to play it out. You could. So the bottom line is, I would do it in a second. Sometimes an actor saying, "This doesn't feel right to me either." That's happened with Bryan, it's happened with Yvette [Nicole Brown]. And having sequences where the superheroes go shopping and do household chores was a really good idea.What did the success of the first season give you permission to do with Season 2?Wells: It was seeing how well exploring the humanity of the characters ended up working. It happens. It was beyond flattering. Then you're like, "OK, I had that in the back of my head that that might be wrong. It's just fun to walk through that.Zeb Wells: And it was important to us that you didn't have to know a bunch of comic book superhero references to find the jokes funny. It's really fun.Senreich: We saw how pairing certain characters together worked or didn't work, in certain ways, and what conflict built from their politics and their boyfriend-girlfriend relationships.Does animation give you an advantage in discussing controversial topics that live-action does not?Senreich: Yeah, I think you can get away with a lot more animation than you can in live-action. In fact, to me, the best storytelling is not universally loved by every single person. It's like, "That's not supposed to happen in the Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, watching an animatic for one of our shows!"Cranston: That happens to you when you watch animated porn, too. We're not positive. It allows you to over-dramatize certain relationships to get to that point you want to make.It just allows for you to push the envelope a little bit more, but it's dangerous to go too far. It's been a nice romantic interlude.Cranston: Matt is really one of the bosses — and he brought on Zeb to take over this show, and even though the guy who brought on the guy doesn't agree with everything, he gave the power over to Zeb to say, "You know what? There are times when I'm directed to punch certain things, and I go, "Oh, yeah, I see! And I'll say for men, too. You're the showrunner, so go and do what you think is best." That's pretty remarkable.Wells: We try to run it like a relationship, where it depends on how passionate either one of us is about something. Then I think, "Well, what if it's just a brush-by? If you work hard, you have a better chance of producing something that you're proud of. Posted February 16, 2017 by Scott HuverSure, you're following all of the Marvel- and DC-related comic book superhero shows, but if you're not watching "SuperMansion's" League of Freedom, you might be missing the funniest — and maybe even the most poignant — take on the cape and costume crowd.As the stop-motion-animated series returns to Crackle for a second season of misadventures from the over-the-hill, dysfunctional crimefighting team, co-creators Matt Senreich and Zeb Wells ("Robot Chicken") joined leading voice actor and executive producer Bryan Cranston for a press roundtable tackling an array of predictably silly surprisingly deep subjects.What do you bring of yourself to this character?Bryan Cranston: I don't need boner pills! We wanted the characters to be funny in their interactions and have very human conflicts, and have that be the basis of the comedy.Matt Senreich: You have these insane superpowers, but that's irrelevant. It's "SNL" using action figures. It's like, very odd selection of people who have worked with "Robot Chicken."But this lets you tell a story where you actually can sit down, and it puts us back to our roots where we're like, "OK, we can actually find characters, we can go into their history, we can deal with their relationships," and that's something that we've always loved to do.Wells: For me, there's an animatic for a later episode, and it's a scene between Jillian [Bell] and Bryan. That always mixes in fine. And that's no different. Art business is a little different. We think this is the strongest choice. He's just really upset." And then I have to figure out why.It's because he's losing his sense of relevance. Zeb comes from the comic book world and was working in comic books for a while. What does he want? The more you humanize superhero characters, the more they're relatable. I do believe in the people that I work with. We think, OK. If it's keeping Matt up at night and I just think it's a slightly bad decision, I'll just let him have it. Are those ripe? I don't want to work with people I don't like.Titanium Rex is searchingfor relevance as he gets older. But the idea of a household full of superheroes who are perhaps past their prime and trying to hold on to what's left of their dignity and abilities appeals to me. If it's just two guys in a market. And to me, I think you water down the efficacy of the work itself.Is there any chance we're going to see Walter White on "Better Call Saul"?Cranston: I don't know. He won that competition, and I just stayed in touch with him 'cause I thought he was a talented fella. Let's get that out there! Had it never happened, I'd still be a working actor and be fine, and not know what you miss.I don't think life or this business owes me anything, so you reap what you sow. If you don't, you won't. I don't know." We don't even register that we knew each other three years before we see each other again. And that goes both ways. Then some suggestions, and they'll take two or three different ways of doing something.Wells: Or if we were unsure about something … We have two playwrights. If you see those things in real life, you're going to be taken aback. Let's go on that track!" I'll do certain things or make certain sounds that the guys will respond to and go, "Oh, that's good!" Early on, as we were feeling through the character, I think it was Zeb that said, "I don't know, it just feels better when he's really angry. We've just been goofing around, ever since. He's more upset at this point."And then, there are times when I bring in my own personality and they go, "Oh, that's good! What does he feel? I have not been approached by it. And it's really simple. I was probably 25, at the time, and Zeb was 20. It's as engaging as live-action development.Did you have to learn a lot about the superhero culture, tropes and references for this?Cranston: I've never been a comic book guy, so I look at it just from the justification of the character's emotional sense. Who does he want to be around? It's about always knowing where that limit is. Then, I don't know how we solve it. So I'm certainly the recipient of that good fortune, and I'm appreciative of it. He feels it slipping away, so he's desperately clutching onto these things. We were really able to take the brakes off and do high-stakes superhero adventures. It's different for men. Senreich: We were afraid to ask him. With the second season, we could push the drama a little bit and trust that the characters we'd created and that the actors helped us create would make those situations funny.So if you look at Season 2 on paper, some of the episodes would sound more dramatic and that the stakes are a lot higher, but they're all just as funny because we still have this band of idiots. The more they have a vulnerable point, whether it's emotionally or their superpower, or whatever, we relate the superpower or the loss of a superpower to their emotions. You go, "That's it?" He goes, "Yep, that's it." Wow. You, ironically, have become more relevant later in life, Bryan.Cranston: Try telling that to my wife! This is what we try to do at work. There's more opportunities for men. What is he losing? Do you feel that way when you thought about what the projects were going to be?Cranston: It's a nice, difficult position to be in. We wrote the part, and in the script, it says, "A Bryan Cranston type." We had our buddy, Seth Green, play the part for the temp animatic, and we realized that voice wasn't good. It doesn't have to be revered by everybody. Yeah, the bar was raised with the quality of writing on that show, and you want to see if you can match that anywhere you go, and I do. I want to make this show with you." It just took off from there.Cranston: For me, if it didn't have an interesting story to it, I wouldn't be sitting here. That's life.It's actually very honest. I want to make sure that what I do has specific purpose, and not just throwing a dart at something to keep busy.This is an example of just that: that good storytelling doesn't have to be in the form of the classics. You're running the show. If you think it's wrong as well, then let's sit down and change it." And you have to be open to that. When you go back to Tom and Jerry, it plays a lot better. He just turned to us and lectured us on how we're very chicken and we should just reach out to Bryan.To Bryan's credit, we sent him the role and within 24 or 48 hours, we got a call back. The real problem is when we're both equally passionate. It's about humanizing them and grounding them in a way that we can all relate to.Matt and Zeb, what made you think of Bryan for this role? It's a little different. If Vince wanted me to be on the show, I'd be on the show.What's been the unique pleasure of doing this show, distinct from the "Robot Chicken" experience?Senreich: For me, "Robot Chicken" is a sketch comedy show. There are certain topics that are too far, so it's about where is it too far and how do you make it funny while at the same time not, and also teaching a lesson while going through a situation like that. He was like, "I don't want to just play this part. And then, when Robot Chicken started up, I brought him on to write with us, and that was since Season 3. And we were watching an animatic, and I got choked up watching it. That made it easier for me.It doesn't matter if it's animated or live-action, you're still developing a character, you want to be consistent with that character and you're contributing to the storylines. You have to be open to the happy accidents and discovering that stuff, where it doesn't feel as alive, and you're missing out on great stuff.Bryan, your "Breaking Bad" co-stars Aaron Paul and Betsy Brandt told me recently that if there's any downside at all to be a part of that series it's the high level of work that you got to do, making it hard to decide what to do next. You know, it's similar to doing live-action, in the sense that when an actor takes on a character, it's a marriage of words and ideas to what the actor's sensibility is, and you find where that is. There really is. We've known each other longer.Senreich: I found Zeb when I was working at a magazine called Wizard, back in the day. Make more right decisions than wrong ones.And it's like, yeah, I think all of us try to do that every day. I come from the comic book and action figure world, where violence is funny in animation. Who is he afraid of?
Bayona ("A Monster Calls").

Like us on Facebook. Details of Cromwell's character were not revealed, but it's easy to picture him as a weary, but sage scientist or a righteous animal rights activist seeking to protect the InGen dinosaurs on Isla Nublar. Cromwell is an animal rights activist in his real life; he's a longtime vegan and has advocated against farm animal cruelty after starring in 1995's "Babe."And Colin Trevorrow, who directed the first movie and co-wrote the sequel, previously said, ""The dinosaurs will be a parable of the treatment animals receive today: the abuse, medical experimentation, pets, having wild animals in zoos like prisons, the use the military has made of them, animals as weapons.""Jurassic World 2" is set to open in theaters June 22, 2018.Want more stuff like this?
At the time, she told Variety that she wasn't driving in the flick, but would be spending time with Statham's character."I had always had a secret hankering to do 'Fast and Furious,' because I love driving cars," Mirren told the trade at the time. But conversation briefly turned to Evans's "Fast" role, in which he played Owen Shaw, the younger brother of Jason Statham's character, Deckard Shaw, and whether or not the "Fast" foe could return to the series someday.While answering that query, the actor spilled the beans about Mirren's part."People come around from comas, so who knows?" Evans told Yahoo! Movies about his new role as haughty villain Gaston in Disney's upcoming "Beauty and the Beast" remake. Movies. But their British connection — and Mirren's reference of scene partner Statham — heavily implies the actor is correct.Fans will find out for themselves when "The Fate of the Furious" hits theaters on April 14.[via: Yahoo!

Posted February 16, 2017 by Katie RobertsOscar winner Helen Mirren is adding some serious pedigree to the cast of the eighth "Fast and Furious" flick, "The Fate of the Furious," and now, fans know who the celebrated British actress will be playingActor Luke Evans, who last appeared in the "Fast" franchise back in 2013's "Fast & Furious 6," recently chatted with Yahoo! "He's in a military hospital because he's the most wanted man in the world, but he's got a very powerful brother, and he's now got a mum as well, who's played by Helen Mirren."Mirren playing the mother of the villains — but not necessarily getting behind the wheel herself — jibes with what the actress herself said about her part in an interview last fall.
Posted February 16, 2017 by Katie RobertsOne of the biggest changes audiences will notice in Disney's upcoming live-action remake of animated classic "Beauty and the Beast" is that the film spends much more time developing Belle's backstory than the 1991 original did. I think that happens a lot with women, and a lot with young girls."For more from Watson, check out her interview with Entertainment Weekly. Breaking the washing machine is symbolic of not just them breaking something she spent hours working on, but them really trying to break her spirit, and trying to kind of push her and mold her into a more acceptable version of herself. The new version of "Beauty" turns Belle into a quirky inventor, assuming some of the traits that her father, Maurice (played by Kevin Kline in the new movie), displayed in the first film. They're deeply suspicious of intelligence … "Beauty and the Beast" opens on March 17. Part of the motivation behind her inventions — like devising a rough prototype for a washing machine, powered by a donkey walking in a circle — is so she can spend less time doing chores, and has more free time to read.But when Belle dares to use her machine to help other little girls in the village, and starts teaching them to read, too, the townsfolk react by smashing her invention to bits. It's a jarring scene, Watson told EW, because it can easily be applied to women today."They don't think women should read, and it goes further than that," the actress explained. And according to star Emma Watson, that was an important part of the reason why she wanted to play the role.In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Watson explained how much it meant to her to imbue Belle with more of a personality, delving deeper into the origins of her awkward relationship with the people in her provincial village. and they don't like anything that's foreign and unknown that might be beyond their realm of experience.

Posted February 16, 2017 by Katie RobertsWhat are parents to do when their daughter gets into a prestigious university, but they can't afford to pay the tuition bill? Nah. Or will they get busted long before then? It seems that the latter is the likelier option, but it looks like it will be a hilarious ride either way."The House" hits theaters on June 30. Take out a student loan? Desperate for a solution, the duo is approached by their neighbor, Frank (Jason Mantzoukas), who has the idea to open up an illegal casino in his house, promising they can earn four years' worth of tuition in a month.Of course, Scott and Kate get in way over their heads with the scheme, suddenly finding themselves running a fight night and strip club in addition to the casino (and accidentally chopping off part of a cheating patron's hand). But it's not all unwelcome chaos, either: Kate gets to wield a flame-thrower (Poehler has never looked more badass — or more delighted), and Scott clearly has a ball donning expensive Italian sunglasses indoors.Can they keep up the business long enough to make enough cash for Alex's college fund? They should open an underground casino instead.That's the premise of "The House," starring Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler as Scott and Kate Johansen, who lose their daughter Alex's (Ryan Simpkins) college fund.
When asked during a Q&A whether the situation was "getting close to a deal, or is it a first date?" the director replied, "It's kind of a first date."News first broke on Wednesday that Gibson was among a handful of candidates Warner Bros. Stay tuned to see how this shakes out.[via: YouTube, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Justin Kroll, h/t ComicBook.com] had been circling for the gig, with Deadline reporting that the actor-turned-director has had "conversations" with the studio about possibly directing the follow-up. to helm "Suicide Squad 2."Gibson responded to a series of reports stating that he was being courted for the job while appearing at a screening of his latest film, Best Picture nominee "Hacksaw Ridge," in Santa Monica on Wednesday night.

Reporter Justin Kroll later tweeted that Gibson is the studio's first pick ("if Mel wants it, it's his," Kroll wrote), and that Gibson has been wanting to work with "Suicide Squad" star Will Smith for years, going back to early development of the 2016 WB flick "The Accountant."

The meme is shared by folks who claim not to care about movies or about the political statements that out-of-touch actors will make at the podium, even though the very act of sharing indicates that they care much more than they'll admit.Actually, in 89 years, the Oscars have never been canceled, though they've been postponed briefly after such events as the assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981. With the ballots due on Feb. (He never has been, which says something about the BAFTAs' blind spots.) Neither was Isabelle Huppert ("Elle"), currently the only Best Actress Oscar nominee with a shot at stopping "La La Land"'s Emma Stone.About the only time the BAFTAs may have influenced the Oscars was back in 2002, when Russell Crowe won the Best Actor prize for "A Beautiful Mind" but then punched out a BAFTA ceremony producer whom he blamed for cutting short his acceptance speech. But scrapped altogether? They know that, for the trophy to be so highly coveted, it has to measure excellence by more than just ticket sales alone.Even so, the notion that the Academy goes out of its way to pick obscure movies that regular people don't buy tickets to see is especially untrue this year. They may see this year's progress, including the Best Picture nomination for "Lion," as an incremental step, not a giant leap.And while this year's Oscar winners are almost certain to mention Trump from the podium, the movies themselves don't necessarily have much to do with contemporary politics. 13. And while the Academy would surely like for some populist smashes to be among the nominees in order to increase rooting interest and TV viewership of the ceremony — indeed, that's why it expanded the Best Picture category to include up to 10 nominees in recent years — the Academy also knows that the Oscars are not the People's Choice Awards. 26 awards show.All nine of the nominees — even "Moonlight," which is the lowest earner, with $20 million — are in the 85th percentile of domestic box office receipts among all of 2016's theatrical releases. Oscar voters made sure that boorishness wasn't repeated stateside by giving the trophy to Washington for "Training Day."Myth 3: The relatively low box office of this year's Best Picture nominees suggests that Academy voters are out of touch with popular taste.Reality: It's true that huge blockbusters like "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" or "Titanic" are more the exception than the rule among Oscar winners. Sure, there are themes in "Hidden Figures," "Fences," "Moonlight," "Lion," and even sci-fi drama "Arrival" that may echo current issues, but the only nominee that addresses current events directly (specifically, the foreclosure crisis) is "Hell or High Water," and it does so in the context of a cops-and-robbers thriller.For all the backlash that's arisen in recent weeks against "La La Land," it's still the front-runner for most categories, and the only politics on its mind are cultural politics (the future of jazz, the cookie-cutter sameness of mass-appeal studio filmmaking).The likeliest scenario sees "La La Land" winning Picture, Actress, Director, and Original Screenplay, while "Moonlight" wins Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor (for Mahershala Ali) and "Fences" wins Actor and Supporting Actress. In other words, a split between the escapist (and predominantly white) musical and the poetic African-American dramas.You could try to make ideological sense of that, or you could acknowledge that this year's Oscars might actually be as much about merit as about political correctness. The five-award sweep for "La La Land," or the Viola Davis victory for Supporting Actress for "Fences," don't mean much, since everyone already expected similar results at our own Academy Awards.Casey Affleck's win for Best Actor for "Manchester by the Sea" means even less, since his chief Oscar rival, "Fences" star Denzel Washington, wasn't even nominated. All nine are profitable, and the fact that none of them has done Marvel-sized numbers should disappoint no one or suggest to anyone that these films lack popular appeal.Myth 4: This year's nominees are sops to political correctness, an overreaction to last year's #OscarsSoWhite controversy.Reality: Things don't work that fast in the film industry, where it can take two years or more for a feature to go from greenlit idea to theatrical release.As many observers noted last year, the Academy Awards come at the end of the process; it takes decision-making at the beginning of the process, in Hollywood's executive suites, to put more inclusive films into the pipeline in the first place. There's too much money at stake and too many viewers watching worldwide, so, not a chance.Myth 2: The British Academy Awards (BAFTAs), handed out over the weekend, are an important predictor of the Oscars.Reality: There are a lot of Anglophiles in Hollywood, but it's not clear that any of them will be influenced by the the selections of BAFTA voters.No one even cared about the BAFTAs until 16 years ago, when they moved up their calendar to take place before the Oscars. After all the guild awards and prizes from groups that are Not the Academy, this is the vote that finally matters. And as far as inclusivity goes, Hispanic and Asian and other viewers are still waiting to see movies about people who look like them. That there are a wealth of black acting nominees and movies about the lives of African-Americans this year seems fortuitous, but there's no guarantee that it will happen again next year, or ever.There are also just two or three movies among the nine ("Hidden Figures," "Arrival," and arguably "La La Land") that have female protagonists. Posted February 16, 2017 by Gary SusmanIt just got real.Final ballots went out to Oscar voters on Feb. "Arrival" will probably cross the $100 million line before the Feb. Myth 1: There's a growing movement in Hollywood to cancel the Oscars this year, as a way of protesting the new presidency.Reality: This movement exists only in conservative memes, spread by wishful thinkers who'd like to see Hollyweird's biggest annual spectacle of self-congratulation vanish. The biggest hit among the Best Picture noms, "Hidden Figures," has earned $132 million, while "La La Land" is close behind with $126 million. 21, five days before the envelopes open at the ceremony, it's time to sort through all the noise — four Oscars 2017 myths, debunked.

In partnership with Porter Anderson, I write and edit The Hot Sheet, an industry newsletter for authors. 6. 8. 5. In 2016 alone, it's believed Amazon Publishing released more than 2,000 titles. In 2014, AmazonCrossing surpassed all other US imprints and publishers in releasing translated fiction. The most popular Prime feature remains free two-day shipping in the United States. Ebook sales at Amazon increased by 4% in 2016 (again, as estimated by Author Earnings), despite Big Five ebook sales declining. KU's biggest US competitor is Scribd. 4. Eight of the top 20 Kindle sellers in 2016 were from Amazon's own publishing imprints. In 2015, it published 75 translated books, 50 more than the next biggest publisher, Dalkey Archive Press. Prime memberships are now believed to account for $7 billion in revenue each year, and a recent survey showed that Prime memberships are popular with the more affluent. Audible's customers are estimated to have listened to 2 billion hours of programming in 2016, double the 2014 figure. Barnes & Noble's sales declined by 6% in 2016, and sales from mass merchandisers (Target, Walmart, etc.) also declined.

Kindle Unlimited (KU), Amazon's ebook subscription program, is estimated to represent about 14% of all ebook reads in the Amazon ecosystem (according to Author Earnings).

Nielsen's Jonathan Stolper said at Digital Book World, "Price is the most important and most influential barrier to entry for ebook buyers, and the increase in price [at publishers] coincided with the decrease in sales." Any talk about digital fatigue, the consumer's nostalgia for print, or a preference for the bookstore experience isn't supported by the sales evidence—which Author Earnings' Data Guy was eager to point out.

Audiobooks are the largest area of growth for the book publishing industry, and Audible is the No. Furthermore, Amazon is the largest publisher of literature in translation. Prices are variable and depend on whether the customer is an Amazon Prime member. When it comes to print book sales for the major publishers, Amazon represents roughly 50% of the pie; wholesalers, libraries, and specialty accounts are 25%; Barnes & Noble is in the teens; and independent bookstores are about 6-8% of the print book market.

Ostensibly, they're trying to locate some of David's more problematic memories, which they do, but it also taps into an ability David has to see what is going on in the present, just elsewhere. Now, we know that David has some form of dissociative personality disorder, and there is a lot of this episode devoted to the "voices" that David hears and the question of whether or not they're real, imagined, or from some other timeline (like when he heard Amy at the end of the episode). I have a theory, though, about this star story: that David is actually talking about a time Professor X brought him into Cerebro, the giant mutant-finding device that Xavier designed to track down similarly gifted individuals.Cerebro is often visualized as a large spherical dome, so if it was dark enough, it would look very much like the night sky, and when it finds mutants, they light up, like stars in that same sky. They had a friendship before they were institutionalized, which included fun things, like trying new street drugs together. Yes, I feel comfortable saying that. The font is perfect and the whispering voices are creepy and strange. David takes all of this rather reassuringly, in a calm and elegant way.Afterwards, he told her all he wanted to do was hug her.

Not sure if this will be a part of every episode (I haven't watched ahead), but damn is it neat.What Happens in This Episode (Mostly)?Much like the pilot, which was structured around a series of interrogations or therapy sessions — some at the hands of doctors at Clockworks (where David was institutionalized), some as childhood therapy sessions, others at the hands of a villainous Division 3 agent (Hamish Linklater, missed dearly) — so too is this episode.David is taken to Summerland, the group's base of operations, and asked to do "memory work" with some of the other mutants, which is kind of a "Star Trek"-y mind meld, mixed with Scientology auditing (you grab onto metal cones and pray). But he hasn't shown up yet. Meanwhile, a group of paramilitary thugs, now known as Division 3 (which explains their cool logo from last week), are on the hunt for David and the band of misfit mutants. What is even more fascinating is that, later in the episode, he describes his father taking him to look at the stars. So once again I'm going to recap this week's excellent episode (once again written by series mastermind/all-around genius Noah Hawley) in the form of a series of questions.Let's get to it!Where Were We?When we last left "Legion," David (Dan Stevens), a supernaturally powerful psychic, was on the run with a group of renegades led by Doctor Bird (Jean Smart), along with his body-swapping love interest Syd (Rachel Keller, who it turns out is the beating heart of the show), and a host of other weirdos. At the end of the episode, the other Summerland inhabitants are shocked to see the CAT scan machine fully transported out into a courtyard — David's doing, of course.David makes an attempt to leave the facility, knowing that Amy is in trouble. "Why can't I see his face?" David asks, while inside his memory spectrum. The fact that David could hear them talking is even more telling — he was reaching out to those other mutants and communicating with them, possibly boosted by Cerebro's computing power, but most likely because he's incredibly gifted himself.What About Syd's Big Confession?The other biggest moment in the episode, at least in my eyes, was Syd confessing that a lot of what happened in the back half of the previous episode actually happened to her, and not David. Something tells me that the true story of how they wound up in Clockworks is going to be super fun, and that she'll continue to make appearances in some kind of altered dreamscape (or something) throughout the rest of the season.Wait, Was That a Weird Naked Person Covered in Swastikas?I think it might have been.Bonus Question for Next Episode: Where Is Jemaine?We know that Jemaine Clement, the insanely talented New Zealand actor and comedian from "What We Do in the Shadows" (he was also the giant crab monster in "Moana"), is a part of the cast, playing Dr. There is an uncommon amount of flashback time given to young David being read to by his father, whose face is shrouded in shadow. But "Legion," based on a specific corner of the "X-Men" universe, is also arguably the most confusing (in an agreeably abstract sort of way) show on television. Maybe next week! Bird's goofball husband. He's transported, psychically, back to Clockworks, where his sister Amy (Katie Aselton) is frantically looking for him. Just like I feel comfortable wearing jeans to formal events. This leads David and some of the others to physically enter his memories, whether it's a time when he and Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) were doing a new drug called "vapor" (released via a frog-shaped nebulizer) or a moment when he was visited by The Yellow-Eyed Devil, the grotesque monster that haunts him.An additional wrinkle is introduced when David goes under for a kind of wiggly CAT scan, administered by Summerland kook Cary (the wonderful Bill Irwin). Eep.So, What About His Father?Ah yes. Another interesting element of this episode, which I would be remiss to forget about, is the fact that David and Lenny were pals before being locked up (or whatever) in Clockworks. Syd stops him, saying that he still needs training. (Remember their "Freaky Friday" body swap?) As it turns out, it was Syd who ended up killing Lenny at Clockworks and getting recruited, at least initially, by the Summerland folk. Oh, and they probably have a mutant on their side too — his name is The Eye (Mackenzie Gray) and he's got a really bad perm.What About That Title Card?Can we talk about how cool the title card is? (David's father is reading him a gory children's book hilariously titled "The World's Angriest Boy in the World.") While the question of David's parentage is an intriguing mystery for viewers of the show, the hardcore nerds out there (myself included) and casual comic book fans know exactly who his father is: Professor Charles Xavier, the leader of the X-Men (played by Michael Fassbender and Patrick Stewart, respectively, in the increasingly nonsensical movie franchise).On the show, his face could have been obscured because they're waiting for a big reveal or they'll simply never get around to showing the character or addressing that element of the story at all. That was a deeply affecting, human moment, that all of the narrative fireworks can't diminish. When he asks her how she knows Amy will still be OK, Syd shoots back, "Because she's bait." As the show closes, we see Amy, now in the presence of The Eye (and some eels or leeches or something). With what is certainly the coolest show on television. (His father was an "astronomer," he says.) David says that he looked up at the stars and the stars spoke to him.
The actress recently discussed her experience on the show so far with TVLine and EW, and she acknowledged the strange position she's in.Die-hard "Calzona" shippers are loath to see anyone else potentially winning the heart of Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), and unfortunately for Dominczyk, that means some fans aren't too happy with her. It hasn't exactly been an ideal start.There's going to be tension, especially as the doctors have to deal with her for Phase 2 of her teaching methods in the upcoming episode, Dominczyk told EW."It's going to take a little bit of arm twisting to get there," she said. … "Not many of them like Eliza."In spite of the real and fictional hostility, Domincyk seems to be enjoying her stint on the show. It's a fact she's well aware of but doesn't let bother her."'Calzona' fans are crazy," Dominczyk told TV Line. It's been super fun playing her," she told TVLine."Grey's Anatomy" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. The hospital's attendings are wary of her, and for good reason. Posted February 15, 2017 by Stephanie Topacio LongLife as a "Grey's Anatomy" guest star isn't easy, especially when you come in to play a not-so-popular character.For both Marika Dominczyk and her character, Eliza Minnick, the greeting hasn't been exactly warm. Not only did she replace Richard (James Pickens, Jr.), she was responsible for Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) being suspended. She doesn't know when it will end yet, but her hope is later rather than sooner."I hope Eliza sticks around … ET/PT on ABC.[via: TVLine; EW] "I really appreciate their passion. And I'm so happy to be a part of it, even if it's on the [negative] receiving end."Meanwhile, Minnick is getting an even harsher welcome at Grey Sloan.
He and Kimmel play off each other well, and Molly is a good sport for taking part in their antics."The Great Wall" hits theaters Feb. Posted February 15, 2017 by Stephanie Topacio LongMatt Damon recently stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to promote his upcoming film, "The Great Wall," and he did it in an unexpected way: claiming he is the father of the late-night show host's unborn child.Damon and Kimmel took the joke to absurd extremes, putting together a hilarious video that involves a confrontation at the doctor's office, an appearance on the talk show "Maury," and even Kimmel's pregnant wife, Molly. 17, and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. Damon taunted Kimmel for being an "Emmy loser" and claimed he's lacking, er, important baby-making equipment.The video tells us nothing about Damon's work on "The Great Wall," but it does serve as a great reminder of just how darn likable the actor is. There was also plenty of entertaining trash talk along the way. ET/PT on ABC.
"My first reaction was, like, I don't know that person! like Milo Ventimiglia's facial hair.After showing off a '70s-style mustache as Jack Pearson on the hit NBC series, Ventimiglia decided to go clean-shaven again. Ventimiglia spent years playing Jess on "Gilmore Girls" with a mustache-free face. His decision surprised fans and co-stars alike. His new (old) look might take some getting used, but we bet that everyone will soon be too distracted by Jack's dramatic story again to care about dearly departed mustache."This Is Us" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.[via: People] In fact, Mandy Moore, who plays his onscreen wife, told PeopleStyle that they've all been texting about it."We have like a gigantic cast text chain, and we're like, Who is that young man?!" Moore said. Posted February 15, 2017 by Stephanie Topacio LongThe "This Is Us" cast has important things to talk about … That is not my husband, that is not the person I fell in love with!"Even though some of his co-workers may barely have recognized him, the look isn't so unfamiliar.

Zinc & Copper Pendant
Introduction: Zinc & Copper Pendant
This is what you get when you hammer air gun BB's in to a penny and then polish off the copper to show the zinc.
To do it:
Place several BB's between two pieces of aluminum tape. Lay a penny over the tape and cover it with another piece of tape.
Hammer the BB's into the penny. Remove the penny from the layers of tape.
Place the penny on a piece of wood and use the head of a carriage bolt to hammer in a convex shape.
Solder a nail to the back side of the penny and mount it in a drill press. Spin in round and use progressively finer sand paper to shape and buff it. Finish it off with polishing compound and a cloth.
De-solder the nail from the penny before you drill a hole in one of the divots.
Make a jump ring for it to place it on a chain.
Okay, I'm working my way through this one pretty slowly. Got about a dollar's worth of misshapen pennies in the corner of my shop. But I've finally gotten one that is pretty and polished.
I've modified your process quite a bit at this point, and I'm also doing a different design. Instead of just a huge cluster of BBs, I've got them placed in the pattern of the little dipper. I'll be sure to post a picture when I'm done.
But since each divot is pretty important, I don't really want to drill a hole in one. I was thinking of soldering the jump ring to the top of the back of the penny. This is my first experience with jewelry. Is that a terrible idea? If not, when I solder, where should I position the break in the jump ring for maximum durability.
You... are my new favorite Internet person since....well... ever. I'm already grabbing up my tools to start making two of your projects for my wife, and I've been awake MAYBE ten minutes! You rock, my friend, thou art mine Instructables guru.
I only wish I could repay the favor with any of the weirdo things I am ALWAYS building.... But you, sir, have an unabashed fanboy.
Thank you for giving an incredibly(read: no bank account, no car, no assets, when we say."We have nothing" it means, you know, "We don't eat today") poor but creative guy hope that there ARE,ways to do things.
Cheers, man, and thanks!
Really appreciate your comment. Words like those keep me posting. Good luck with your projects. You know where to find me if you need any help. Brent
I haven't been able to get the nail soldered to the penny. Not sure if my technique is lacking, or if there's a particular type of soldering wire needed to bond the steel nail to the copper or what. Any tips?
P.S. I'm aware that many users have already asked you for a soldering tutorial, sorry to repeat the question yet again. I just came across this today, and I thought I'd try to throw it together as a last minute Christmas gift for a friend.
Thank you
As long as you have enough heat, solder, and flux you should do fine. Let me know if your still having problems after watching that video. Good luck.
Thanks, that helped a lot. It took me a few tries, but I got it right eventually. This was my first time doing anything remotely like this, and it's not very much, but I'm happy with it. Thanks for posting this and answering my questions. I look forward to attempting more of your projects in the coming weeks.
I would like to follow this up by saying that I came across your soldering video. I thought it might be helpful, so I'm posting the link here below for anyone else who comes across this great instructable. Thanks again.
Love this idea! Your very talented and inventive. would love to see more things you make. I'm going to try this one soon.
Hey Mrballeng,
Love your work, we think along the same lines. Someday I'll find time to post my stuff. Anyway, I thought this was a really great idea for a short project, and I wanted to post what I came up with. I apologize for the poor picture, my camera is not meant for macro work. I haven't put it on a chain yet, but I ran a piece of hemp through it, just for demonstration purposes.
All the best,
No problem! I know how much fun it is to see that people are actually using your idea. I only wish I'd taken a picture after I finished the necklace. Gave it away this afternoon though, it's now adorning the neck of a pretty girl. As a side note, these make great pendants for beaded chokers.
please excuse my stupidity, but it's late and I love this idea, I just have one question, when the copper from the penny comes off the little holes/indents still have it right?
Your exactly right. The sand paper doesn't reach the indentations made by the BB's so the copper is left behind.
I think you'll be alright. I once made a copper wire ring that turned skin green after two days. This isn't up against your skin so snug and you probably would'nt wear it more than a few hours at a time anyway. Thanks for the comment.
you can spray it with clear coat varnish on both sides - I am highly allergic to metal, but love to wear jewelry, and it works well for me (or clear nail polish)
Also, What's the back look like, did you sand that as well or just leave it? And where do you get your chains?
The back looks like the tails side of a penny with a little solder on it. I left it as is. It give people something extra to look at to show them it used to be a penny.
I think this chain came from the jewelry section at target.
I love the look of the copper in the polished zinc. I'm going to try making a design by embossing crossed lines with a needle like you did on your leaf pendant. Please keep posting your great ideas!
You are so creative! I agree, where do you come up with these ideas?Do you just look at things & see them differently?
Either way, I love this. I was a Cub Scout leader for several years & I know my scouts would have loved to make this. My own 2 boys are teenagers now,but I know they are going to want to make this when they see it! Thanks!
Where do you come up with these?? I love this, and I even have most of the stuff around to make it with! I'm just utterly speechless over this one...
You would giggle if you'd seen my husband and me walking through Lowe's last night, looking at all the different metal pipe fittings and so on! I grabbed a couple of copper pipe sections for a dollar each to make pendants from, and now I can't wait to get started!! :D
Thank you again for all the inspiration, as well as the reassurance that this really can be done!
Don't forget to post pictures! And if you get stuck on a step, I'm just a click away. Good Luck. Thanks for the complement.
I thought this up for the cub scouts to make pendants for mothers day. They used BB's, pieces of wire, and screw threads to make the indentations. I helped them on sanding off the copper.
do the bbs need to be hard steel? or can they be ceramic or something like that? also, im in need of a flat, hard, anvil-like surface, and my dad is tired of me chipping the garage floor. any suggestions?
It would be loud but you could get a worn out brake disc rotor from an auto shop. They may just give it to you.
Ceramic would just shatter, but any metal alloy should be ok. For an anvil, just use a club hammer or a sledge hammer in a vice. Use safety glasses too just to be on the safe side.
WOW- just WOW! Thanks for making jewelry-making accessible to us club-fisted neanderthals!
Great photos, great process.
I'd call for a "true" instructable, but it's pretty easy to follow from the photos alone...

My favorite post also came from The Women In Biz with the post "Harassment in the Workplace!"
"What an amazing post! Before I became a SAHM, I worked for the same company for almost 19 years. During my career, I had to deal with harassment from one specific woman for most of my career. I often wondered what I had ever done to make her not like me, and then I realized that it was not me, it was her. She was threatened by me because I was younger and knew more about her job than she did, despite her years there. Sadly if she had realized the truth, which was I never wanted what she had and all that I ever tried to do was help. Thank you so much for sharing!"
