Enjoy Retirement

Posted supplied by: John Williams (USAF RET)

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world.  It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.  Harold Schlumberg is such a person: 

THIS IS QUOTED FROM HAROLD: "I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?' 

Well...I've always had an interest in chemical engineering and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whiskey into urine.  It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling.  I do it every day and I really enjoy it."  

Harold should be an inspiration to us all.

The German - A short Film

Posted supplied by: Russ Reynard (Air Canada friend of Bill Bishop)

This is a 10 minute short film about a British fighter pilot who pursues the german ace that shot down his friend across sky and country... with murder in mind. But he discovers it's not so easy to kill a man when you have to look them in the eye
This was funded by an Irish Film Board scheme called 'Short Cuts' and was shot in November 2007. The Budget was €70K, and was used entirely on the live action components of the film - leaving a grand total of ZERO for visual effects!
It was written & directed by Nick Ryan and stars Toby Kebbell and Christian Brassington.
Nick Ryan says: "I completed all the visual effects shots, over 120 in total, entirely by myself. Dave Head modelled the aircraft (and truck), but I textured, lit, animated and composited the shots over a six month period in 2008."

I found this film interesting ... hope you do as well.  Best viewed in full screen.
