I have endured great misery, cried myself to sleep, never met friends on that weekend, begged my friend to pin it up with tiny black hair clips and tried endlessly to make some aesthetic sense into the mess they create. Having suffered more than my share of bad haircuts, I found freedom. I have been liberated from the tyranny of the breed of bad hairstylists. Never had a bad haircut in the last five years.

I always walked out of Bounce, Lavelle Road, Bangalore feeling on top of the world fabulous. Long, lustrous, ultra smooth, layered, with the just the right bounce, gorgeous, below shoulder length hair that would put a Pantene ad to shame. You have to get a haircut in Bounce to feel what I am talking about. I am sure many would agree with me when I say, “No compromise on haircuts.”

Cut to Kottayam, Kerala. I guess good fortunes don’t cross inter state boundaries. After my haircut I was greeted by the same emotions which frequented my mind before Bounce – sadness and misery. I am in vogue with the season. The layers in my haircut resemble a Christmas tree. I asked for nice razor cut bangs, now my face looks like a square box. I paid close to Rs. 250 to look like shit especially during the holiday season. I reassured my mother that my hair really grows fast. Parachute advanced oil would be my trusted aide during this holiday season.

Bueno a sabiendas de que les queda aun un concierto de dar (aquel que cancelaron por la crisis en Puerto Rico), los Jonas han agradecido a sus fans el apoyo prestado por todo su tour, aquí esta su mensaje

Any Martina McBride fans out there? Her song “Anyway” came up on the mp3 player when I was about 20 miles or so (nearly there) from the basin on Thanksgiving Day, and it got me thinking. Despite the supreme frustrations we wild horse lovers endure in the battle to keep our mustangs wild and free, and despite the heartaches and breaks they inevitably bring us along the way – from the magical way they melt into our hearts from first sighting – we must love them anyway. I don’t know about you all, but I’m helpless to do it any other way.

This visit wasn’t without some personal heartbreak – Molly. But it was with so much more: the horses and me and the deer and the wind and the light and the hills and song dogs howling and hope for the future in the shape of little faces and fuzzy coats, winter-ready.

Hunters gone, I had a long-awaited visit with the pinto ponies. Stout Milagro is so fuzzy, he looked like a pony next to daddy Copper.

Oddly, he and Liberty are the same dark muley bay. Maybe a genetic connection on their respective trees.

Here we have Shadow as bonnie mountain goat and David playing it a wee bit safer. I spotted them from the county road, but the pintos were hiding a bit.

The horses – including matriarch Kiowa – were relaxed and grazing, and they paid hardly as much attention to me as to the visitor walking the trail below them …

I’m happy to report that although the vast contingent of hunters finally left the valley, the deer did not. In fact, they are much more visible now, including at least two magnificent ”granddaddies” to this young buck.

Mama Kiowa and baby Milagro; Corazon at left and Spook at right.

Mesa is still the outside man, but Ty and Corazon are right in the thick of things, to no great concern of Copper’s.

Corazon; Kiowa in the background.

Reya is the same age as Shadow; they’ll be 3 next spring.

Sisters Reya and Spook (May 1, 2008).

And baby brother Milagro (July 1, 2009). Can you see how fuzzy he is?

In the “front country” of the basin, Steeldust’s band was enjoying the last light of day … and I enjoyed the light creating halos around them …

He does seem to be sticking close to Lady Alpha these days.

Luna and Hannah

Mahogany grazing; Sable seeking attention from almost-3-year-old Kestrel (yearmate of Shadow and Reya).

A little past, a little different angle o’ light. Comanche in the background. (Aspen and Hook are still with the band.)

I took some pictures in passing, but my attention was really farther ahead: Chrome, Jif and little-man Hayden.

This image may be actual size? That’s Hayden’s teeny hoofprint in the soil of his home … Can’t express, really, what this image means to me.

It seems to me (stand by for anthropomorphization) that now-family-man Chrome is a little befuddled by the recent attention showered upon him – former bachelor that he is – well, in his vicinity. I am thankful for his care of his little shadow …

This one just makes me smile.

Little is fuzzed-up and bearded for winter … so soon … He seems to show the faintest hint of grey high on his cheeks, but right around his eyes is red. What color will the mister be? He’s so much like his daddy, Grey/Traveler.

Now the secret is out: BLM’s next “issue” is the incredible proliferation of over-populating wild ants! No end in sight! How WILL they manage this new “problem”??

Evening with a view …

So thankful …

I took this photo of the moon during my visit with Hayden and Co., song dogs setting up a chorus in the background. Not sure it could have been more perfect.

At that point, I didn’t yet know about Molly.

In the morning, before sunrise, it was 15 degrees in the basin. The morning star was glittering like a droplet of  ice on the eastern horizon while the sky grew steadily lighter. In the dim light, I had a sighting that made my heart leap: Duke. It was hard to see him because it was not yet exactly light and because of the distance, but he looked a little off – still. More on him to come.

Mornings in the basin will make you believe in something other than yourself … and if you already believe … it will reaffirm your faith in something humans will never take away. It is still. It is clear. It is hopeful. It is magic. You can almost hear the collective breath holding, waiting for that first light on the far ridges across Disappointment Valley, waiting for a long column of light to illuminate, first, Filly Peak, then widen and lay down its path across Round Top and Flat Top.

Steeldust and his hangers-on were single-file from the pond to the base of the hill. Far away.

I was looking for horses to put between me and the camera and the hills, surrounded by that sublime light. Did I mention how cold it was?

Hollywood and his girls and his youngster found me, grazing quietly in the pre-dawn light down a line of hills below the road. I hadn’t spent much time with them lately, so I put my down coat on top of my jacket and 14 other layers, wrapped my ear-band around my head, readied my gloves, put extra batteries close to my heart … and waited and watched the creep of light.

Have you ever watched – really watched – sunrise? It can’t be described. Especially, maybe, in the great – intimate – expanse of the basin; there are just too many places to watch the rising sun touch hills and ridges and swells with that sweet golden light. And before I knew it, sunlight had replaced shadow surrounding Holls and the girls and Sage. I zipped up and started walking. Baylee, watching me waddle toward them, thought – apparently – I was the abominable snowwoman – or Michelin Woman? – come to life.

The “Bundle Woman” cometh.

Piedra apparently eventually recognized me, but Baylee’s expression didn’t change much in the other photos I took. Steeldust’s band didn’t know what to think last fall, either, the first time I wore my down coat, until I started singing to them … the only audience that can withstand my “singing.”

Sage still treats auntie Baylee like a playmate … and he still seeks reassurance from mama.

Hollywood

Sage’s winter coat is brown again. He looks like a little Mouse.

Relaxed

I hadn’t seen Grey/Traveler’s band the day before – and I hadn’t seen Bounce’s since the weekend before last - so I decided to head on to look for them and see if the golden light would hold.

Saw the silver boy and his band … and as I approached the Round Top intersection, I saw horses nearly straight ahead. It took a second to identify them against the light … and it took a second after that to pick out Liberty, grazing close to Gaia. I didn’t have to look for Molly; I knew she wouldn’t be there. Even expecting to see what I saw, I couldn’t stop the tears from coming. There’d be no heartbreak if there wasn’t first love.

Gaia and Liberty

Bounce

Whisper and Alegre

Maybe a little surrogate-mothering going on …

Liberty is our third orphan since I started the documentation of the Spring Creek Basin herd. My introduction to Twister was when he was already orphaned, possibly during the roundup. Shadow’s dam, Ceal, died sometime over the winter of 2007-08. Liberty is 6 months old, and she’s a tough little thing. I think she’ll be OK.

I walked from them back over to Grey/Traveler’s band.

He is my healing magic.

Cuatro was hanging out, napping on his feet, a short distance from the band. Then he decided to put on a show:

Such a big trot for a little boy!

Flying!

He must have learned this move from his muley pals.

He hit the brakes, and Terra came up out of the arroyo. Two Boots never looked up from her grazing. She’s a veteran mama at the ripe young age of 2. Watching Cuatro, it suddenly became apparent to me that his sire has to be Twister; he looks just like him.

Grey and Houdini

Terra and Cuatro

Iya (April 27, 2008) and Terra (May 1, 2009); La Sal Mountains in the background. They were born the same color; look how dark Iya is now!

Fuzzy, furry silver boy!

Thus emotionally armed, I went back to find Duke.

He looks all right … but he is thinner than when he had Raven and Corona – and, briefly, Kootenai.

He’s still limping, but he’s completely mobile, and he’s putting weight on his injured leg (right hind). See all that sky behind him? This is Spring Creek Basin’s version of “top of the world.” The difference between here and the Pryors is that here, if you step off that edge … well, let’s just say it really is an edge, and I really would recommend NOT stepping off!

Love his handsome face.

He’s a crazy horse to be walking up and down mountains (to and from water) on his healing leg, but he’s a tough boy!

Love, always.

Thankful days don’t wait for calendar dates. No matter what’s going on, I – and you, I bet – have things in your life for which to be thankful anyway. I think the ponies don’t know how much they give of themselves to all of us who admire them so; it’s the least we can do to ensure their continued protection – any way we can.

One of the first pictures I took of Molly – that’s Kreacher in the background – and still one of my favorites of her.

It’s an assumption … but it’s based on this:

Liberty is with Bounce’s family now …

Molly was a wise old girl who lived her considerable long life in Spring Creek Basin. She was rounded up in 2007 but had the fortune of being released back to the wild. She was aged by the contractor then at “older than 20,” and although the contractor wasn’t terribly accurate with his aging skills, I’d believe it of her.

She didn’t have much use for humans – for good reason, I’d say – but she was a kind and gentle mother, and she gave her last foal, Liberty, an excellent chance of survival.

Rest peacefully, Molly-girl, in your heaven.

Resolvi não colocar imagens neste artigo. É melhor que você vá até o site e veja por si mesmo. Neave é um site criado pelo designer londrino Paul Neave  que dispõe de treze inusitadas, interessantes e diversificadas maneiras de se passar o tempo ocioso, se divertir ou fazer o que mais você descobrir ser possível. É provável que você se surpreenda, não só com a criatividade de Paul Neave, como também com a sua própria. A seguir um resumo do que se pode encontrar no site:

1. Flash Earth coloca à sua disposição imagens de satélite da Terra adquiridas através de múltiplas fontes, incluindo a NASA e a Microsoft.
2. Planetarium vai lhe mostrar um belo céu estrelado pelo qual você poderá rodopiar à vontade, identificar constelações e, quando tiver curiosidade, passar o mouse por cima de uma estrela para saber seu nome, sua constelação, sua magnitude e sua distância de nós.
3. Games disponibiliza remakes de jogos clássicos como Space Invaders, Tetris N-Box, Asteroids, Snake, Simon, Jogo-da-velha, Hexxagon e Frogger.
4. Imagination fará com que linhas de luz e fumaça saiam da ponta do seu mouse em um fundo preto, formando texturas e desenhos interessantes.
5. Fractal te levará em uma viagem de zoom eterno que segue os princípios de um complicado conceito matemático (sobre o qual você pode tentar saber mais aqui e aqui)
6. Television é uma televisão sem contexto. Entre color bars e chiados você assistirá a trechos randômicos de uma coisa qualquer.
7. Strobe te fará ver tudo de uma forma diferente da que você costuma ver. O Mushroom não recomenda que você dirija nem opere máqunas perigosas logo após a experiência.
8. Anaglyph dará utilidade àquele óculos 3D que você roubou de algum filme ou ganhou junto com aquela revista de dinossauros quando tinha dez anos. Com ele você poderá desenhar e escrever em três dimensões, girar e aproximar/afastar sua imagem. Se você não tem um óculos 3D, faça um: vale a pena.
9. Bounce deixa bolinhas coloridas de diferentes tamanhos na sua tela. Coloque uma música ou fale algo (requer microfone) e as bolinhas vão pular de acordo com o som.
10. Light segue o mesmo princípio de Bounce, exceto que, nele, o show é de luzes.
11. Dandelion consiste num dente-de-leão virtual que você pode soprar (requer microfone) e sacudir eternamente, pois ele sempre se renova.
12. Webcam é um conjunto de gravações interessantes feitas pelos internautas através de suas webcams com alguns efeitos que o site disponibiliza. Além de assistir, você pode se divertir com os efeitos fazendo, você mesmo, gravações (requer webcam).
13. Voting questiona e estuda o ato de votar. Nele, você se deparará com perguntas estranhas (e potencialmente engraçadas) como:

Armpit hair?

• Long and dangly
• Short and matted
• Fashioned into a small hat

que exploram fatores como a influência que a construção da pergunta exerce sobre sua resposta.

Enfim, vale muito a pena conferir o Neave, a não ser que você esteja estudando para algum vestibular ou tenha algum projeto importante para entregar no trabalho por esses dias, pois o site tomará uma parcela razoável do seu tempo. Confie no Mushroom.

I recently had yet another chance to travel to Sydney and stay for a while whilst working. Sydney’s weather didn’t treat me too well but apart from that, it was a good time had by all, I shopped, partied, hung out with friends and family, explored new places, met some amazing new friends, and set some awesome things up that you’ll see in the future. Aside from all that I got two days of shoots in for the lovely Asia Power’s 2009/2010 summer capsule range…

Asia’s range is pretty amazing and speaks for itself, they are beautiful pieces, and Shara did nothing but make the garments even more amazing on working the camera and been a good sport when it came to the weather and the difficult and dangerous terrain of the location.

This was a long and tedious shoot, the longest I’ve shot, and also the first of my full daylight on location shoots. It was cold and windy, hot and sunny, but we made it through the two days of shooting. Big thanks go out to the girls Allyce, her sister Brianna, Asia and her sister Stephanie for been the best assistants holding my lights and moving them around and helping with adjustments and stopping them from falling slash blowing off the cliffs, even though the girls nearly went over the cliffs with the lights a few times themselves.

Over all it was a great shoot I had fun it was a little bit of a differed style for me with the strenuous amounts of colour but I love trying new things. It was great working with Asia for the first time and Working with Allyce and Shara once more it’s always a pleasure and am glad that they have learned how to put up with me for now.

So here are the shots enjoy…

The first post from Steve Atherton – GolfTEC VP of Research and Development and PGA Master Professional – in response to last week’s poll. (Follow Steve on Twitter: @AthertonPGA)

Well, we had a good response to last week’s poll on bounce and how it affects your wedge game. 82% of you hit the nail right on the head. Bounce mostly affects how cleanly you strike the ball from varying lies.

That’s the short answer, but you may still have questions about bounce. To give you a better understanding of bounce and how it affects your game, I’ve provided a brief explanation below.

What is bounce?

Bounce is defined as the angle (in degrees) between the leading edge of the club and the part of the sole that rests on the ground. The more bounce, the higher the leading edge of the club will sit off the ground. The most common bounce measurements for wedges would be in the neighborhood of 4-14 degrees. So that’s what bounce is, but there’s a more important question…

What type of bounce should you be playing for your wedges?

Unfortunately there is no cut-and-dried answer to this question, as some of the answer lies in what you feel most comfortable with, and that can be different for everyone. However, here are some basics to start from:

Play more bounce if:

1. You play in soft, fluffy sand or lush, thick fairways

2. You attack the ball with a sharp, downward-angle of approach

Play less bounce if:

1. You play in hard, firm sand or tight, dry fairways

2. You sweep the ball at impact

Keep in mind that you don’t have to match up the bounce in your lob, sand, gap and pitching wedge. It’s very common to have different bounce with each of those wedges. Just use the above suggestions and work from there. If your course has dry, firm fairways but soft sand, you might play a gap and pitching wedge that have little bounce, a SW with more bounce, and a lob wedge with little bounce. Also consider the type of shots you most commonly play around the greens at your course. If you typically have lots of shots to tight pins from tight lies, less bounce will help. If you have more shots from thick rough around the greens with the ball sitting up off the ground, more bounce would be the way to go.

Fiddle around with different wedge lofts AND bounce combinations until you find a set of wedges that gives you the confidence you need!

What’s your question for me?

So those are a few of my thoughts on bounce. Next up: YOUR questions. That’s right, I want to hear from you. In the comments section below, ask me any question you might have about your golf game. I’ll then choose one and personally answer it in a later post. Now, I know you may be hesitant to ask a question in the comments section. But seriously, just give it a try.

I’m looking forward to answering your questions and helping you play better golf.

I just did it for the lulz

Time for a big post now, full of house tracks sure to make you bounce like the character above, Zebedee from the Magic Roundabout who as you can see has a lower body made entirely of springs, so he’s probably somewhat an expert on the activity.

Drop the Lime’s most recent release Set Me Free has been remixed by Reso and Zombie Disco Squad to name two of many. Harvard Bass’s effort is by my favourite, it’s a very stabby house remix with a nice breakdown and drop. I can’t get enough of this at the moment…

Drop the Lime – Set Me Free (Harvard Bass Remix)

Keeping in sync with the stabbing, bouncy house vibe. Here’s a remix from CrashBleepBang favourite Riva Starr. And once again there’s a nice build up and drop into some very bouncy synth stabs

Reekay Garcia – Back To The Beat (Riva Starr Remix)

This next one is very interesting and sure to kick off a crazed gypsy dance-off in whatever situation it’s played out in. Balkan Beat Box make the original track, one which Diplo has sampled before, but I just can’t remember where. I don’t know too much about them, but they are a brass ensemble who play gigs in very exotic places like Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Beer Sheva (I don’t know where that is). Anyway, this is a remix by INSPKTR and it’s sweet.

Balkan Beat Box – Bulgarian Chicks (INSPKTR Bootleg)

Malente and Dex are up next and following on from the gypsy theme. The German producers who team up quite often, who make some very interesting music have made another very bouncy house tune. They’ve sampled some gypsy style horns and vocal stabs. Very nice stuff, check out all their stuff, including the Jan Driver Remix of their track Lions, which you can cop over at the brilliant you can call me pelski blog.

Malente & Dex – Gipsy Kings (feat. Analogik)

I posted the Noob and Brodinksi collaboration Peanut Club a while back. Here’s the Momma’s Boy Remix. As I’ve said before, eyes open for Sound Pelligrino releases they tend to be very sick.

Noob & Brodinski – Peanuts Club (Momma’s Boy Remix)

This is one that’s been on quite heavy rotation on the blogs. So admittedly i’m quite late posting this one up, but I couldn’t give fuck really. Dubbel Dutch has consistently made tunes that I like, remixing people’s tunes and making his own. He is definitely a favourite of mine, although I do tend to use that word a bit too much. This one is a remix of Daniel Haaksman, I like the percussion in the beat and the nice warped vocal samples, very good work.

Daniel Haaksman – Kid Conga feat. MC Miltinho (Dubbel Dutch Remix)

This next one made me very happy when I heard it for the first time. Trust me this is not what you expect, but You will recognize almost instantly where the sample was used and by who and for what song.

Najat Aatabou – Just Tell Me The Truth

So I hope i’ve collected together a nice little group of tunes for you to all bounce around to. Hope you enjoy em

Finally finished editing all the photos and work that has backed up from the last couple of months, it’s so easy to get distracted and work on other things and soon enough one thing after another isn’t finished.
Anyways, this is a little shoot I did for friend and designer Allyce McDonald she designs pretty amazing stuff, and you should definitely keep an eye out for her name and her stuff. Rest assured you will see more of her stuff up on my blog here, and flickr here in the coming month, as I am heading down to Sydney for more work which just might include a couple of shoots with her, and a couple of shoots from up and coming designers so keep your eyes peeled…

Cheers to the lovely girls Shara and Allyce, for modelling, stylising, make-up, and putting up with us for most of the day, and showing me a little bit of a good time in a city i’m not so used to anymore.

So check it out…

Anarchie und Chaos bei Bounce, so wie wirs mögen:

Ungefähr zwei Dutzend Berner Rapper haben gestern das DRS Virus-Studio gestürmt. Kein Wunder: schliesslich hatten wir ein ganzes Quartier zu Gast…die vierzehn Jungs der im Spätsommer gegründeten Crew «Ds Quartier» haben innerhalb von zwei Monaten zwei «Mir hei Hunger»-Mixtapes rausgehauen (Downloads hier). Und ihr Hunger ist immer noch nicht gestillt, wie sie im Bounce-Interview beweisen, wo sie sich humorvoll, aber auch ziemlich aufmüpfig präsentierten.

Dass einige der Jungs erst vor Monaten mit rappen begonnen haben, ist auf dem Tontäger stellenweise nicht zu überhören. Aber Die Energie und der Enthusiasmus, den die Jungs um Rey Manolo an den Tag legen, sind vielversprechend. Wir bleiben drann. Die ganze Sendung inkl. Kampfansage an die Berner Rap-«Vetterliwirtschaft», einer genialen Jodel-Einlage (vom Herren im YB-Schal! siehe unten=) und Live-Rap gibts hier zum Gratis-Download.

Hier der superoriginelle Werbetrailer zu den beiden Mixtapes – vom Herren, der bei Bounce gejodelt hat:
