 Schadenfreude:
noun
pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.
ORIGIN German, from Schaden ‘harm’ + Freude ‘joy.’
A gold ring found on the body of a drug addict leads the Cold Case squad to the long-closed murder case. A rich and successful surgeon loses everything after a close friend dies on his operating table. Schadenfreude. The dead man’s wife takes him to the cleaners. More Schadenfreude. The doc’s well insured wife is killed in their home. Even more Schadenfreude. The jury in the 1982 case doesn’t believe his story about a pair of intruders. Yet still more Schadenfreude. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of Schadenfreude.
It’s a new post in KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2013 but the name of the episode escapes me…
223 Full HD (1080p) Lilly screencaps from the episode can now be found in the Gallery.
  
 Lt. Stillman gets a confession out of someone right at the start of “Revenge”, the latest in the 2013 edition of KM UK’s Summer Of HD. It could a very short episode 
John’s priest (and possible brother based on the character name), who is due to officiate at the baptism of the boss cop’s grandson, is able to tell him about a 1998 confession by one of his flock. The divulging of such information would normally break the sanctity of confession but the seeker of absolution had recently died. Deceased small-time criminal Bernie Ganz was involved in the kidnap of a young boy, Kyle Bream, who was subsequently found dead in the harbour.
Stillman and the squad re-open the case. Anything involving children always pushes Lil’s buttons, and Scotty has a few issues in that direction too as we find out in later seasons. John also deals with an old family issue regarding his daughter.

  The recent update of the Official KM website brought to light a couple of public appearances by Kathryn that had got by us all. The occasions themselves passed with little note by the wider press too, perhaps overshadowed by the main events they are linked to. No information, such as basic when and where, was given about the two photos. KM UK can fill in the blanks for you all.
The website captioned the photo you can see on the left “Babies’ First Premiere!” It is amazing how many errors you can make in just three words. The apostrophe was right though, so score one for punctuation. Kathryn in her golden dress was at the annual MPTF “Evening Before The Primetime Emmy Awards” event. In 2012 it was held on 21st of September. So… not a première, and as it was 11 months ago the “babies” part is a bit of a stretch too.
Moving on to number two, eyes right. This is from another MPTF event, this one is called “Night Before the Oscars”. It is also an annual event held before a big awards ceremony. This year the Oscars were on Sunday the 24th February so this appearance was on the 23rd.
The MPTF, or Motion Picture & Television Fund is a charity aimed primarily at helping members of the entertainment industry who fall on hard times. Unlike many professions TV and movie jobs, both in front of an behind the camera,  are short term and lacking access to health care schemes available through employers. You can read more about the work of the MPTF on their website here.
The pre-Emmy and pre-Oscar event photos are now in their respective albums in the Gallery.
I’ll sneak in one other quick update, which would have been more appropriately posted in yesterday’s photoshoot addition. It’s one more photo from what we call the “Official website photoshoot”. A larger version of the image you see on the right has now joined its own kind in the Gallery.
  It’s the mid-19th century and you’ve just developed a new, faster and cheaper method of taking photographs. What else are you going to do but take photos of beautiful and talented ladies?
Tintype changed photography by making the whole process from preparing the plate through to the producing the final photograph for a customer much quicker and more cheaply than previous techniques. It brought portraiture to the masses. You can read all about the Tintype over at Wikipedia here.
So what we have here must be images of a woman from the latter half of the 1800s that looks spookily like Kathryn Morris.
Or, they are new images created using exactly the same methods used back then, and the results photographed using modern top end, high resolution digital cameras. More November 2012 than 1912. It’s probably that last one The photos certain create a very different and interesting look compared to most modern digital, and even pre-digital film cameras. A fascinating view of Kathryn I’m sure you’ll agree.
  Clearly they are 4 more in the set that included the image used by the Silver Lake Juice bar to illustrate the testimonial given by Kathryn, as I reported on back in February. Hasn’t the year gone by quickly?
The photographer is Kari Orvik, a Canadian living and working in San Francisco, who specialises in Tintypes. She works with the the Photobooth SF company supplying Tintype photos for events. You can see more of Kari’s work on her website.
You probably saw versions of these photos on the newly populated Official KM website, after I posted about it yesterday. Today we have added 4 large images to the KM UK Gallery.
 As reported here a couple of months ago, the Official KM Twitter feed had a brief moment of conciousness and posted something. At the time we noted that the Official Kathryn Morris website had gone into “Under Construction” mode for a while and returned with little content.
 Over night the Twitter feed again woke up, posting various links to the Official Facebook page. Only one worked at the time I checked and it led to a post on the People magazine website about the upcoming birth of Kathryn and Johnny’s twins.
Presumably following on from that friend of this site Kareen_T (thanks again!) spotted that the Official KM website has undergone a further update. It is clearly far from ready for prime time, with layout issues and glaring errors carried over from its earlier incarnation, but it has gained a lot of new content. I’ll be posting more about some of that in the next few days.
 The most notable item on the website is the Twins Shower page. It is a Pinterest style page with various images, including illustrations and photos. Taken from that set are the images you see around this post, including a sonagram image (right) taken back in February which is presumed to be a genuine shot of the Morris/Messner twins. The other two images (one of which is huge!) have joined the Us Magazine set, even though they were not used by the publication. They have all now been added to KM UK Gallery.
