“The only thing certain is that nuttin’s certain, and when you start from the bottom opportunities are few & far. So it’s all similar to a crap shoot, you’ll never know unless you take the chance and roll the dice. I know we all have our own paths and we could follow suite of those before us, but imma do it my way, the prestigious way. I have the dice in my hand… Gotta roll ‘em before I can climb the success ladder. Here’s where I let ‘em go.” – Prestige

Odd Future’s Frank Ocean finally extends his audio to visuals by partnering with director & photographer Nabil Elderkin to debut a video for runaway hit “Novacane.” There’s no model broad with the Hollywood smile included in the treatment; just other imagined women, geishas, adorable but aggressive pandas and an abrupt ending. But as Frank says in song, “I’m feelin’ like Stanley Kubrick, this is some visionary sh*t” and we’re left to watch the video again and again and maybe it’ll make sense eventually.

MYFOXNY.COM - Two men opened fire on the jam-packed boardwalk in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, Thursday evening and wounded five people -- one fatally, the NYPD said.
The boardwalk was packed with teenagers who were off from school because of "Brooklyn-Queens Day" and seeking some relief from teh sweltering weather.
"These kids come not to swim, they come for turf fights," said Pat Singer, president of the Brighton Beach Neighborhood Association, according to the New York Post. "It's a problem every year. All day long you see hundreds of teenagers, so of course you're going to have problems."
Two of the victims -- a man and a woman in their 20s -- were rushed in very critical condition at Coney Island Hospital, the FDNY said. The woman later died.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne described the scene as "chaotic." He said the shooting happened during a fight and that at least two gunmen were involved.
Three other victims -- all in their 20s -- were taken to Coney Island Hosipital and Lutheran Hospital, the AP reported.
The shooting happened at about 5:30 p.m. right in front of Tatiana's Restaurant near Brighton 6th Street.
Police were questioning several people, but declined to say if any of them was a suspect.
Witnesses said that after several shots were fired, mayhem and panic broke out.
Video of the aftermath of the shooting was uploaded to YouTube. It shows a person lying on the boardwalk as other stand over him, one covered in blood. Young people could be seen running away and shouting. The video also shows an NYPD scooter pulling up and officers responding.
New Britain cleaning lady accused
of stealing over $5K worth of items
By Lisa Backus
Staff Writer
PLAINVILLE — A New Britain woman working as a cleaning lady is accused of stealing more than $5,000 worth of items from two Tyler Farms Road homes in May, police said.
Monika Kiczuk, 18, of 415 Burritt St., New Britain, was cleaning the homes May 12 and May 13 when one owner noticed several items missing, police Capt. Brian Mullins said.
“They reported it immediately but the other owner didn’t realize at first that their jewelry had been taken,” Mullins said.
Kiczuk allegedly took jewelry estimated to be worth about $3,000 from one home May 12 and then may have stolen the laptops and other items valued at $2,249 from the second home on May 13.
Kiczuk was a new employee of the cleaning company when the thefts occurred.
She and her boyfriend, Michal Stasiak, 20, of the same address, then sold the items on the street or to pawn shops, Mullins said.
The pair turned themselves in to police Monday to face charges of third-degree burglary, two counts of third-degree larceny and two counts of conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary. They were each held on $100,000 bond after their arraignments in Bristol Superior Court Monday.
Stewart announces cuts; pools will remain open, July 4th fireworks canceled
NEW BRITAIN — With a severe cutback in revenue this year, city officials are working to identify services that will be cut and which ones will remain in place.
Mayor Timothy T. Stewart Tuesday announced some of the results of that work, saying that city pools will remain open during the summer season but that next month’s Fourth of July fireworks display will be cancelled.
Stewart signed off on a $217-million municipal budget last week for the 2011-2012 fiscal year but still must determine how many layoffs will be necessary and other services to be cut to stay within the spending plan. But in his announcement Tuesday, Stewart said it’s not feasible to keep the fireworks show and the “Great American Boom” that precedes it. Both normally take place at the pond around Stanley Quarter Park July 4. The Boom event includes shows, rides and a variety of vendors.
“While this event has long been a tradition that many both inside and outside of New Britain look forward to each year, we cannot in good conscience hold a discretionary event that costs the city close to $50,000 for fireworks and overtime while it’s still possible employees will lose jobs and more essential city services will suffer,” Stewart said.
The city pools — A.W. Stanley, Willow Brook and the Willow Brook Splash Park — will be spared. Hundreds of young people use the pools every summer. Willow Brook and the splash pool are scheduled to open June 18. A.W. Stanley will be delayed by rehabilitation work, officials report, but will be open this summer.
More than a dozen residents spoke in favor of the splash park at a recent Common Council meeting. The decision to keep the pools open was met with a sense of relief Tuesday by those who use them.
“That splash park means everything to these kids,” said Ana Trammell, who takes her three young children there. “For my kids, who do not go to school in New Britain, it allows them to socialize with kids from the community.”
Damany Vega, a minister at Iglesia De Dios Casa Del Alfarero, a nearby Spanish church, said upward of 100 parishioners go to the splash park on a regular basis.
“These kids would get in trouble if it were not for this park,” Vega said. “I am very excited and proud that the city listened to our concerns.”
Stewart said it costs about $175,000 to operate the pools. He said they’re remaining open because the city is seeing about $200,000 in savings from the sale of properties and the fact that 20 vacant city positions will not be filled.
Stewart noted that opening the pools also prevents young people from misbehaving during the summer months.
“The reality is that many kids could get into trouble or get hurt by mischief such as illegally opening up fire hydrants,” he said.
The pools and splash pad will be open seven days a week. For more information on specific times, call the Parks and Recreation Department at (860) 826-3360.

NEW BRITAIN – A Meriden man wanted in a double shooting in New Britain in October was captured by New York authorities over the weekend after he allegedly staged an armed robbery there, police said.
Robert Williams, also known as Robert Watson, 24, is accused of shooting two Bridgeport men after a hip-hop show at Club Venue on Broad Street on Oct. 22. The men have since recovered.
New Britain police have been holding a warrant for his arrest for months. Williams posted comments on his Facebook page that police inquiries into the shooting have left him in the doghouse with his fiance. He disappeared in November after being questioned by police.
His mother, Patty Carrion, is being held on bond while facing attempted murder charges in connection with a 1995 shooting in Meriden. She had been on the lam for nearly 15 years before she was taken into custody.
the shooting of a 19-year-old in the area of Kelsey and Williams streets last fall.
Police had been looking for Armando Bermejo, 24, with a last known address of 60 Lyons St. since early October. He was caught by Norwalk police Thursday and turned over to New Britain police who were holding a warrant for attempted murder.
Bermejo is accused of seriously wounding a 19-year-old in a burst of gunfire that erupted in the quiet neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon as residents were watching football. The victim is still recovering from his injuries.
Police believe a shooting in January that wounded a man on Oak Street may have been in retaliation for the Kelsey Street shooting. Two brothers were arrested in that case and investigators are still looking for a third brother believed to be involved in the Oak Street shooting.
Police had put out continuous alerts asking other departments to be on the look out for Bermejo, Lt. James Wardwell said. "Norwalk police received information on where he was and took him into custody," he said.
Bermejo was charged with attempted murder, first-degree assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm and criminal possession of a pistol. He is being held on $1.5 million bond until his arraignment in New Britain Superior Court today.
