Back in the 1970s, I was an anti-nuclear power activist. I protested in front of and in the boardroom of Wisconsin Electric. I was arrested for blocking traffic at the Zion (Ill.) nuclear reactor.
It turns out, I should have been protesting the coal-fired power plant in the Menomonee Valley. For it's now looking as though burning coal may well do us in - and much more quickly than nuclear power ever will.
A mounting chorus of climatologists warns that earlier predictions of the Earth warming four degrees Fahrenheit by century's end were too optimistic and that a rise of at least nine degrees is more likely. The catastrophes this would trigger - massive population shifts, famines, coastal flooding, fires, drought, governmental breakdown and even more dire chains of events - are no longer seen as possibilities but probabilities unless we take dramatic action now.
Our first priority must be the shutting down all our coal power plants as soon as possible and convincing other nations to do the same. Coal burning accounts for 40% of all the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. "Clean coal" plants are better than the old ones but still emit way too much CO2. Plans for massive carbon sequestration are still on the drawing boards with no guarantee of success or cost-effectiveness.
What about nuclear power? While there are dozens of applications pending for new plants around the country, serious problems about nuclear persist. Not least of these is the cost, now estimated (in two recent Florida schemes) at $12 billion to $18 billion per plant. New nuclear is estimated to cost 15 to 20 cents per kilowatt hour, compared to 1 to 3 cents/kwh achieved through energy efficiencies and conservation.
Then there's nuclear waste disposal, weapons proliferation and the nagging fear that nuclear plants and their fuel remain tempting targets for terrorists. Given current capability to manufacture the giant containment vessels nuclear requires, we couldn't expand nuclear quickly, even if we wanted to.
That's why we must go full speed ahead developing every other energy alternative that we can think of. For example, we should be investing - as the Germans are - in developing combined power plants that link solar, wind, biogas, geothermal and hydro-storage that can provide power around the clock, entirely from renewable sources.
Incentive programs like "cash for clunkers" that only lead to minimal conservation gains will have to be replaced with much more robust ones.
Maybe it will take a few more years to get China and India on board, but a Marshall Plan that slashes our own energy consumption and invests in new energy technologies is paramount and a good public investment that can put millions to work.
In Wisconsin, we should impose a moratorium on the building of any more coal plants, and as new technologies come online, the old plants should be decommissioned. The U.S. Senate should pass the cap-and-trade legislation (the Waxman-Markey bill) that the House has approved before President Barack Obama goes to Copenhagen for the summit on global climate in December.
This all will come with a price tag. Coal is still the cheapest source of energy, but the costs of an out-of-control warming world are the costs of chaos that our children should not have to bear.


Hub & Spoke worked with the Family Health Center to create a dynamic and responsive website.
Family Health Center came to us with a major concern. Their website was outdated and difficult for the staff to update. This meant they were not able to share vital materials with those needing them the most. For those not familiar with the organization, Family Health Center serves people across Mid-Missouri without adequate access to medical insurance. A majority of their patients are single mothers and children. They needed an updated, easy-to-use website, so they could better serve their patients.
We had an important task at hand. We needed to make this website accessible for both the patients and the staff. In order to tackle this issue, we set the new website up on Wordpress. This allows the Family Health Center staff the ability to easily edit and add information as needed.
Since the target audience for the website is single mothers and women, we added many elements that those two groups would find interesting and helpful. We also took this project one step further and updated the internal employee website, so they could easily access information from any location.
Family Health Center now has an easy to navigate, informative and user-friendly website. We were able to accomplish this with our experience in HTML5, CSS3, WordPress and responsive web design.


--- Turns out, the Steelers made Jason Worilds a multi-year contract offer awhile ago, sources say. His side did not accept it. I have no idea what that offer was, but I am told that offer stands and they will go no higher, that he either takes it or plays this season for the $9.7 million one-year deal he signed as their transition player.
--- A little more than a year ago, I heard that the Steelers did not make a big play to keep Keenan Lewis because they thought Cortez Allen was better. So what's the reason now for not at least making Allen a multi-year contract offer? Perhaps they no longer hold their previous opinion?
--- If Allen has a Keenan Lewis-like final contract year, the Steelers may not be able to re-sign him. If he has a poor season, they may not want to re-sign him. So where would that leave them at cornerback in 2015? As we say, there is a lot of football to be played between now and then but assuming Ike Taylor is in his final year, it would leave them with William Gay, Shaq Richardson, Antwon Blake and Isaiah Green.
--- Rod Woodson, who was a coaching intern for the Steelers last spring and summer, is doing likewise with the Denver Broncos now.
--- Let us celebrate the final session of the awkwardly labeled OTAs. Next week, we can call it minicamp because that is what they call it and it is required of all players unless excused. In other words, Troy Polamalu might even show up.
--- YOU: What's the difference between QB pressures and QB hurries? A story in the Pittsburgh paper that caters to wingnuts said Jarvis Jones led the team in QB hurries a year ago, while your story today said Heyward led the team in 2013 with 29 QB pressures.
ED: I've asked that question of coaches and never could get a proper answer other than, I believe they mean the same. The Steelers used to keep stats -- provided by their coaches after watching video – on both quarterback pressures AND hurries as separate categories. Now, they list them all under QP or pressures in their defensive stats, although in a game-by-game breakdown provided to us, they call them quarterback "hurries/pressures.'' I can assure you that Jarvis Jones did not lead them in anything last season. The coaches had him down for 11 QP, tied for fifth on defense. They had Cam Heyward with 31, Jason Worilds with 29, Brett Keisel with 26.
--- YOU: My query today involves the Steelers "Dime a Dozen" theory. We have heard this for years about the WR's. Does the team perhaps take the same approach to CB's? No 1st round pick since 1997, lower picks starting there for years—is this a prudent approach for a team that has had trouble generating turnovers for a couple of years? The WR's have at least been very productive despite their draft status. As always, thanks for all the great B& G info!
ED: Judging by the draft, you would think they thought of cornerbacks as a nickel a dozen. To draft what you think is a great cornerback, you usually have to get one in the top 15 of the first round and they rarely have been that high and when they were, they grabbed a quarterback. Rod Woodson went to them as the 10-th player overall and they were fortunate he fell that far. Chad Scott was their last first-round draft pick at the position at No. 24 overall in 1997. They have not had a Pro Bowl cornerback since Rod Woodson made it for the 1996 season, the longest drought of any position for them. Somehow, though, they won two Super Bowls and went to a third with what they had. I do not believe they think less of the position, just that they've only been adequate in filling it.


So true. I've always been a bit uncomfortable with celebrations of life that are, by nature, exclusionary. Mother's Day would be a good example. Being a good and loving mother is laudable – but so is being a good person who chose not to have children. Yes, celebrate the gift of unconditional love, which does not have to be attached to a person's "role" in life.
Thanks for reading and commenting. I so appreciate your response.
Good read…the last sums it up perfectly….
though I am having lots more fun being a Grandma….

Proxy Voting Policies Proxy Voting Record
General American Investors Company, Inc. Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
General American Investors Company, Inc. (the "Company") is uniquely structured as an internally managed closed-end investment company. Our research efforts, including the receipt and analysis of proxy material, are focused on the securities in the Company's portfolio, as well as alternative investment opportunities. We vote proxies relating to our portfolio securities in the best long-term interests of the Company.
Our investment approach stresses fundamental security analysis, which includes an evaluation of the integrity, as well as the effectiveness of management personnel. In proxy material, we review management proposals and management recommendations relating to shareholder proposals in order to, among other things, gain assurance that management's positions are consistent with its integrity and the long-term interests of the company. We generally find this to be the case and, accordingly, give significant weight to the views of management when we vote proxies.
Proposals that may have an impact on the rights or privileges of the securities held by the Company would be reviewed very carefully. The explanation for a negative impact could justify the proposal; however, if such justification were not present, we would vote against a significant reduction in the rights or privileges associated with any of our holdings.
Proposals relating to corporate governance matters are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. When they involve changes in the state of incorporation, mergers or other restructuring, we would, if necessary, complete our review of the rationale for the proposal by contacting company representatives and, with few exceptions, vote in favor of management's recommendations. Proposals relating to anti-takeover provisions, such as staggered boards, poison pills and supermajorities could be more problematic. They would be considered in light of our assessment of the capability of current management, the duration of the proposal, the negative impact it might have on the attractiveness of the company to future "investors," among other factors. We can envision circumstances under which we would vote against an anti-takeover provision.
Generally, we would vote with management on proposals relating to changes to the company's capital structure, including increases and decreases of capital and issuances of preferred stock; however, we would review the facts and circumstances associated with each proposal before finalizing our decision.
Well-structured stock option plans and management compensation programs are essential for companies to attract and retain high caliber management personnel. We generally vote in favor of proposals relating to these issues; however, there could be an occasion on which we viewed such a proposal as over reaching on the part of management or having the potential for excessive dilution when we would vote against the proposal.
Corporations should act in a responsible manner toward their employees, the communities in which they are located, the customers they serve and the world at large. We have observed that most stockholder proposals relating to social issues focus on a narrow issue and the corporate position set forth in the proxy material provides a well-considered response demonstrating an appropriate and responsible action or position. Accordingly, we generally support management recommendations on these types of proposals; however, we would consider each proposal on a case-by-case basis.
We take voting proxies of securities held in our portfolio very seriously. As indicated above, it is an integral part of the analytical process at General American Investors. Each proposal and any competing interests are reviewed carefully on a case-by-case basis. Generally, we support and vote in accordance with the recommendations of management; however, the overriding basis for the votes we cast is the best long-term interests of the Company.

Hello, newbie here from Tennessee. I am the proud owner of three turbo buicks, and love them. I've had two for a couple years and they are just projects, and I purchased my first 87 GN last friday. I'm looking forward to learning from other buick owners knowledge, advice and experience's.


Kids, we love them to death even though they can drive us a little bonkers. One of my daughters is very disorganized and it drives me nutty. I worked with her therapist to come up with a consequence chart. The purpose of the consequence chart is that the kid will know exactly how they will be punished based on their actions. It also is a good idea to keep you (Mom) from getting angry.
This is what my husband and I came up with for our girls. You'll need to modify it to fit you and your kids. We actually have been adding on, as new situations arise. It also has taken some of the work load off of me. Again, this is what we came up with for our family. I didn't include taking away friend time because I believe time spent playing with friends is important.
1. Talking back - You will receive corner time based on your age. If you continue to back talk 1 minute will be added to your punishment.
2. Leaving food in your room - All day dishwasher duty.
3. Biting, punching, or kicking - No screens for the day.
4. Giant temper tantrums & outbursts - chore of my choosing or no screen time (parent's choice).
5. Failure to properly clean room after being asked - laundry duty.
6. Miscellaneous items being left out after asked to put them away - chore of parent's choice.
7. Arguing - corner time.
8. Asking the same question over and over - no screens.
9. Knocking on bedroom door for non-emergencies - I will wake you up early.
10. Spitting and boogers - scrub/cleaning (parent's choice).
11. Leaving lights on and not flushing the toilet - going to bed 15 minutes early.
12. Missing school assignments - no electronics until grade is posted.
13. Missing school for no visible reason - no horseback riding until further notice and must attend school 30 days straight.
14. You won't go to bed - I will wake you up bright and early.
15. Teasing & taunting - do a chore for the person you're taunting.
17. Lying - chore and corner time.
18. Getting someone else to do your chore for you - additional chore.
Yes, my little munchkins get into plenty of trouble. I would love to hear some of the consequences that you come up with.


LIC Policy with High Returns : Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) is one of the biggest company when we talk about insurance providers in India. The company is well known as one of the first companies to introduce insurance policies in India. In recent years, the company has introduced a wide range of insurance policies specially designed to suit the needs of customers in India. These insurance policies offer various benefits and can be bought at a low cost. There are a lot of insurance policies offered by LIC that offer high returns in the market. Before we go ahead and know about the Best LIC Policies with High Returns, let us know why should you purchase a life insurance policy.
Why should you buy a Life Insurance Policy?
Insurance is undoubtedly one of the best investments that a person can make. Insurance policies provide you and your family financial protection as well as it acts as a savings scheme. However, it is important that you choose a life insurance policy according to your needs. A life insurance policy with high return works best for a person who wants more than protection from their life insurance policy. There are different kinds of life insurance policies like endowment life insurance policy, money back life insurance policy, special life insurance policy to choose etc. You can also take the help of financial websites or advisers to compare between life insurance policies to choose the best policy that suits your need.
There are several LIC life insurance policies that offer high returns. Listed below are the LIC high return life insurance policies.
New Endowment plan from LIC is a participating non linked plan that provides financial protection as well as high returns. The sum assured is payable on death as death benefit and is 10 times the basic sum assured. This plan also provides other advantages through participation in profits of LIC. The policy also provides survival benefit through basic sum assured with vested benefits.
Jeevan Anand Plan from LIC is a high return LIC policy which not only provides financial protection to your family in case of your death but also guarantees best returns on the investment made. Basic Sum Assured, vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses and Final Additional Bonus is paid as survival benefit under this LIC plan.

Most of the LIC policies are returning almost in a similar fashion only. I think hardly 5% – 6% on investment.
I think endowment policy will be the best for you. You need to invest 5000 monthly for 25 yrs & at the end you will be getting 41 lacs.
You could expect something like 14 to 15 lacs after 25 yrs. For exact amount you need to talk to a LIC Agent.
I want to take a policy which provides cover to life worth 5000000. along with tax saving . along with good return. kindly name the policy with monthly or annually premium?
My age is 27, I want to buy a pensain plan so which plan will be best for me.

phantasy star
Nintendo, Nintendo DS
Phantasy Star Zero [DS – Beta / Concept]
PS0 is the new chapter in the Phantasy Star Online series of games, that was released for the Nintendo DS the 25 december 2008 (Japanese version). When SEGA started to work on the game, various prototypes and different character designs were tried before to choose the final one. In the earliest stage of development, they recreated the Forest area from the original PSO Dreamcast on the DS, with Boomas and the famous Dragon. It seems that initially items / mesetas were dropped on the field when an enemy was killed, instead of coming out from the final-box that appears only after all the enemies are died, as it is in the final version of the game. Probably SEGA decided to remove the single-enemy drops because of the limited graphic capabilities of the portable console (with too many 3D objects on the screen, the game could have slow down too much). In other concept arts and screens, we can see a "more stylish" design for the characters, that looked more like the one from the original PSO. In one of the artworks there are even some "flamed-head" enemies with guns, but there are no enemies like that in the final game. All these images were show at the Phantasy Star Zero Christmas Party that Sega organized to promote the game on the 25 December 2008.

32X / Mega CD, Mega Drive / Genesis, Sega
Phantasy Star IV [MD/G – Beta / Unused Stuff]
Originally, Phantasy Star IV was to have been designed for the Sega CD system, and would have been vastly different from its final incarnation. Features like 3-D dungeons (such as those featured in the first Phantasy Star), full motion video cutscenes, voice acting, and much more were planned. Unfortunately, poor sales and lack of support for the Sega CD platform caused a change of plans midway through development. Most of these features were scrapped from the final design, and the end result was a cartridge game that bore little resemblance to the original plans. [info from Wikipedia]
Some unused items and techniques can still be found in the game's code: we can read more info about these at PS Algo!
Feeve was used during the debugging or the making of Phantasy Star IV, as a test to see if techniques worked properly. There is really no evidence to support this, save that the technique cannot be gained by playing the game normally.
The Blood Axe, the Spiral Slasher are strange items that were made inaccessible as part of normal game play, but never actually removed.
Two planet maps, one for Motavia and one for Dezoris, are coded into the game, and can be viewed using an edited saved game. Sega simply chose to not allow players to have access to the maps.
Thanks to Klinger Bea Arthur and Robert Seddon for the contributions!

New Phantasy Star (V?) Genesis: unreleased? No, it was Sorcerer's Kingdom]
The scan that you can see in the gallery below is from on an old gaming magazine, in which it was assumed that the screenshot published in the page was from a new game in the Phantasy Star series of RPG. This "New Phantasy Star" for the Genesis / Mega Drive was never released.. because it was never a Phantasy Star game to begin with. Thanks to Oath we found out that this image is probably from another Genesis RPG, called "Sorcerer's Kingdom", developed by Treco Corporation and released in 1992. If you compare the original scan with the other 2 Sorcerer's Kingdom screens, you can notice that the main character sprite is almost the same and the trees are identical.

Q: How can I view a reference or cheat sheet of the basic bash syntax, in the linux terminal? Every time I need to do a little bash scripting involving if statements, checking for empty variables and non-existent files et.c. I find myself hitting google for some simple bash manual or guide.
Often these are way too long and complicated to quickly answer the question I have at hand.
So, I was thinking that there must be some command or man page that covers the basic bash syntax (for things like if-statements, checks for empty variables, non-existent files etc) in a short and accessible manner. I'm sure I just havent found out the command (man bash doesn't seem to be it).
Where can I find that?

A: man bash covers every aspect of bash syntax, e.g. for if statements, string is zero and non-existent files, just search ( hit the / key and enter the following ) for  CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS.

A: *

*man bash is the canonical Bash reference.

*help help gives you help on the help Bash builtin, and how it gives you short help messages about other Bash built-ins, such as help for.

*Greg's Wiki is the best place to find to-the-point, terse, and sometimes even entertaining reference material for pretty much every aspect of Bash.

*If you want a quick way to look up syntax, you could version control .bash_history. There are just too many commands, different parameter syntaxes, sed and awk line noise and other stuff to ever remember all of it, so it's nice to have a "well groomed" personal reference with tags to look up in.

A: Since there are plenty of such things online, here's a suggestion for you; I use this for all kinds of things.
Create a directory $HOME/notes.  Add a subfolder, bash.  If you don't have a $HOME/bin, create one, add it to your path using whatever method you prefer (for example: in ~/.bashrc).  Then put a simple script in there, cmdref.sh:
#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$CMREF_DIR" ]; then
        CMREF_DIR="$HOME/notes"
fi

cat "$CMREF_DIR/${1}/${2}.txt"

Symlink it for convenience, ln -s ~/bin/cmdref.sh ~/bin/cmdref; I like to do this so you can edit the cmdref.sh source and an editor will still recognize the filetype by the suffix.
Copy paste whatever into various files in ~/notes/bash -- e.g., you could have a file arrays.txt, loops.txt, etc.  As long as this is just for your own personal use, you're not violating copyright.
You can now use that from the command line, e.g.: cmdref bash arrays and that cheat sheet will be printed to the console.  Note although the files are .txt (again, using appropriate suffixes is useful for editors, file browsers, etc.) you should not use cmdref bash arrays.txt since it's appended in cmdref.sh (the only thing the script does is convert paths and add the suffix).

I would encourage you to read up on this bill yourself at https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb19-1032.
There are many different things to talk about concerning this bill and this whole area of politics but for me, the biggest thing that stands out is "or excluding the relational or sexual experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individuals." Personally, I don't want to know about anyone's "sexual experiences"! That is none of my business! I don't want to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom! I get chills just thinking about it. Let me bring this pulpit back on track. This is a good example of some very serious and important subjects that ought to be remembered when it comes to what makes a law.
At the same time, I don't know if you have heard but single-use plastic straws are becoming illegal in more and more places throughout the USA and the world. Washington D.C. recently just enacted their ban on the hollow menace with a fine of up to $800, but don't worry you are safe until July, for that is when the "grace period" is over. Up until then, the straw police will simply give you a warning for being a sucky criminal (I think my wife just got another gray hair). I understand the premise behind such laws. We do have a God-given responsibility to care and rule over this earth well (Genesis 1:28; 2:15) and we should take this stewardship seriously but I can't help but feel this ban on straws is going to go down in history with other human remedies such as blood-letting and the Salem Witch Trials. May God have mercy on us but may history not!
With all of these different types of laws and potential laws being discussed it really gets me wondering if there is difference between one law and another. In our country, throughout history and even within Scripture (1 Samuel 14:43-45; John 8:3-4) we can see examples of some laws being overlooked because of certain circumstances. From our human perspective, we do perceive law to have varying degrees of severity. I don't think there is one of us who can say we have never broken the speed limit before (probably only those who have never driven before could say such a thing). At the same time, we all would probably say that to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs should definitely be taken seriously, much more so than going a few over. Both are laws in our country and both have punishments assigned for breaking them. Yet, one we highly consider and the other we consider when we see a vehicle with red and blue lights. This is man's perspective on our own laws.
God's law is a clear line in the sand that we should never dare to cross. In it lies protection from sin and the effects of it,which will always hurt us and those around us. What about the laws of men though? How should we approach them? Well, Scripture gives us the answer to that.
Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
The call of the Christian is to submit under the authority of earthly governments, except for when they contradict God's higher law (Acts-20; 5:28-29). We, as Christians, ought to be the best citizens a nation can have and we are blessed to live in such a nation and the USA. In this country "we the people" have the ability to affect our local and national laws. So, while we submit to man's law (the ones that do not contradict God's) we at the same time can push to try to repeal and keep bad laws from going into effect. If we desire to be a nation of just and righteous laws than the people of God must be active in the lawmaking process. For absence ensures defeat. Take a moment to consider God's purpose for government by reading Romans 13:1-7.

The Tuesday Toss: Contenders And Others
By Evan Lepler
Deceptively, the final score was 24-16. It wasn't that close.
On Saturday night at Breese Stevens Field, 1,200 of the best fans in ultimate were dealt a powerful punch in the gut, and the hometown team they cheered for was left looking for answers, humbled by the speed, precision, and overall brilliance of a dynamic opponent finally hitting its stride.
The Raleigh Flyers' rollicking rout over the Madison Radicals was the rare concurrence of surprising and inevitable. The visiting Flyers had been hyped as a SuperTeam throughout the season, but had struggled to fulfill the lofty expectations. The Radicals entered the evening undefeated but relatively untested, leaving them vulnerable and unprepared for their biggest game of the year.
Even if Raleigh possessed more talent, the thinking went, the combination of Flyer inconsistency and Radical home-field prowess would lead to a competitive interdivisional showdown. Instead, the Flyers overwhelmed the Radicals immediately, dealing them their largest deficit and worst loss in franchise history. Raleigh scored 12 of the game's first 15 goals, at times toying with a Radicals' roster that could not match up.
From Raleigh's perspective, it was refreshing. It was a glimpse at what the Flyers thought they could be. Even without Jonathan Helton, the offense was dominant. Jonathan Nethercutt and Jack Williams dazzled with their versatile, unstoppable two-man game, combining for six goals and 12 assists. Mischa Freystaetter and Jacob Fairfax commanded respect as towering downfield targets, totaling seven goals between them. Bob Liu and Brett Matzuka were crafty, squirrelly, and patient, calmly and relentlessly connecting with the open guy. Together, Liu and Matzuka completed 103 passes with zero throwaways. Kiron Allen, Terrance Mitchell, and Jacob Mouw continued to excel as solid and reliable role players, capable of moving the disc and feeding the stars.
Defensively, Raleigh pressured Madison into a tornado of turnovers. Noah Saul, Shane Sisco, and Joey Cretella flexed their speed and experience. Hunter Taylor, David Richardson, and Mike Pannone simultaneously patrolled the deep space and pressured the unders. Matt Ellis and Johnnie Lynch added youthful spunk, mixing exuberance, hustle, and fearlessness to make plays against the veteran-laden Radicals.
By the end of the night, Raleigh had reaffirmed why it had been so highly regarded, and that despite losses to the Dallas Roughnecks (by three), Austin Sol (by two), and DC Breeze (by one), the Flyers remain a daunting championship contender. At 6-3, with four of their final five games at home, the Flyers are almost certainly assured of a playoff berth. While they trail first-place Dallas by a game and a half, they have already proven they can win on the Roughnecks' home field.
Game Of The Week Archive
Meanwhile, Madison—and the entire Midwest Division by proxy—endured a painful and alarming wake-up call. The Radicals, who have gone 76-7 against their divisional foes, fell to 1-7 vs. teams from outside their division. Similarly, the Midwest Division dropped to 0-4 in regular season interdivisional play, which was introduced to the AUDL in 2017.
The sample size and eye test have reached a breaking point where ignoring the evidence is irresponsible; the Midwest Division needs to step up. Obviously, this starts with the Radicals, who, despite Saturday's shellacking, remain the heavy favorite to emerge from this region. They have 10 weeks to build, tweak, and improves themselves in anticipation of a return trip to Championship Weekend, which they will once again be hosting.
Perhaps Madison's worst loss ever will be looked at as a blessing in disguise. Maybe this is exactly the humbling experience that the Radicals need to take a hard, honest look at everything they are doing. And while upcoming games against the Indianapolis AlleyCats, Minnesota Wind Chill, and Chicago Wildfire are not guaranteed victories by any means, the Radicals' should have the flexibility to tinker and experiment throughout the next couple months. Their goal, which has been articulated here in the past, has to be bigger than simply winning Midwest games. They need to foster a new explosiveness that will allow them to handle the speed and talent from elsewhere around the league. Otherwise, the Final Four struggles will emerge again, spoiling another promising opportunity.
The Radicals were missing a few key O-line cogs on Saturday, as Kevin Brown, Avery Johnson, and Thomas Coolidge were absent due to injury or illness. With the college season now concluded, Madison expects to welcome former Radicals' Chris Wilen and Jeff Maskalunas back from the University of Wisconsin roster in the coming weeks. This quintet could certainly increase the team's collective quickness and straight-line speed.
But will it be enough? And if not, what else can the Radicals do?
This is a team that has prided itself on creating a system where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. But they have also relied on standout performers to elevate their games in key moments. Now, they no longer have Jay Froude, Abe Coffin, or Brian Hart, all who were able to change games with their athleticism. Their aging O-line, with five guys in their thirties, has lacked sizzle. Peter Graffy may simply be a very good player and not the superstar that can singlehandedly carry a team for quarters at a time. New additions like Tarik Akyuz, Kyle Weigand, and Anson Reppermund have been decent role players but nowhere near the All-AUDL conversation. The strategies that have repeatedly stifled Indy and Chicago have not worked nearly as well against Dallas, San Francisco, or Raleigh.
The Radicals have reached an intersection. One way or another, Saturday's embarrassing loss will serve as a turning point. Remember how Toronto got destroyed by DC early last season? The Rush's 32-21 loss prompted an introspective organizational review, and the team rallied back from a 1-2 start to win 12 of their next 13 games, including an epic performance against the same Dallas team that had beaten them handily the year before at Championship Weekend. Toronto earned buckets of praise for the tremendously clutch and high-level play, culminating with a narrow 30-29 loss to the loaded San Francisco FlameThrowers in the finals.
That's the roadmap for Madison to try and emulate. Maybe the Radicals can add a key free agent or two to bolster the roster, a la Toronto picking up Darren Wu and Justin Foord in years past. More likely, the Rads simply need to focus on maximizing their considerable potential. To do that, changes to the status quo may be required. Individual roles should shift or evolve. Some players simply have to raise their game.
In 75 days, an AUDL champion will be crowned at Breese Stevens Field. If the Radicals can learn from the Raleigh game and make some dramatic adjustments, it could be them. Otherwise, it will be another long Wisconsin winter for the loyal Radical fans who dream of seeing their small-town team hoist ultimate's greatest prize.
The Full-Field Layout
Writing while traveling is always a challenge, and this particular Tuesday after College Nationals finds the author in transit following an ultimate-filled Memorial Day Weekend. After an exhilarating and exhausting four days under the sun in Milwaukee and Madison, here's an abbreviated look at what else transpired throughout a seven-game Week 9 in the AUDL:
Keenan Plew and Keegan North were too much for Chicago, as they combined for six goals and 11 assists in Indy's 26-21 victory over the Wildfire. Rick Gross added seven goals, Cameron Brock and Levi Jacobs each scored three times, and the AlleyCats improved to 7-1 to leapfrog the Radicals in the Midwest Division.
Chicago managed only two breaks in 48 minutes, and Indy led wire-to-wire to win its sixth game in a row. The AlleyCats will try to keep it rolling in their first meeting of the season with the 4-2 Wind Chill, which is scheduled for this Saturday in Minnesota and will be broadcast live on Stadium.
Are the Nashville NightWatch actually contenders to challenge Atlanta and Austin for the third South Division playoff spot? It appears so, after the NightWatch overcame an early 2-0 deficit to dominate the Sol 27-21 on Saturday night for Nashville's third consecutive victory. The NightWatch led by as many as eight and used a 12-6 rally in the middle quarters to create separation from the Sol, who disappointingly could not build upon their strong home win over Atlanta from last week. Nashville's surge is certainly related to improved depth, as the NightWatch had eight players with multiple goals and eight players with multiple assists despite a pair of offensive anchors not even being availabe to play. Tyler Conger and Stephen Poulos were the team's top two completion leaders in last week's win over Tampa Bay. Without either of themagainst Austin, Mac McClellan and Jacob Flowers stepped in and completed 99 of 100 throws.
It turns out that New York's buzzer-beating win over D.C. on May 5 did not signify that the Empire's struggles with the Breeze are over.
DC jumped out to a 6-1 lead in Saturday's rematch, setting the tone for a 29-21 pounding to snap New York's three-game winning streak. It was a mighty impressive showing for the Breeze, who won handily despite missing their Coach Darryl Stanley, who was leading the University of Maryland team at College Nationals. DC employed a balanced attack, with nine different players registering multiple goals and five distributors sharing the team lead with three assists apiece. Joe Richards, playing his first AUDL game since April 7, led the defense with three blocks to go with two goals and two assists. Both teams lost key players during the game. D.C.'s Rowan McDonnell played just one point in the second half after pulling his hamstring, and New York's Beau Kittredge only played eight points before pulling his calf muscle in the first quarter. McDonnell says he's 50/50 for this coming weekend, while Kittredge thinks he'll be out 'probably a few weeks.' The Empire were also without Jeff Babbitt, who hurt his ankle at the end of the first half against Philadelphia on May 19. The loss dropped New York to 3-2 and tightened up the East Division race for second place behind Toronto.
The Rush remained perfect, and thanks to Raleigh's win over Madison, left Toronto as the last undefeated AUDL squad in 2018.
One week after leading the Rush with six goals against the Breeze, 18-year-old Dutch rookie Ben Oort paced Toronto with seven scores against the Phoenix, a quarter of the team's offense in a 28-23 victory. Philly kept it close and was within two early in the fourth quarter, but Toronto's 6-2 run secured the five-goal win. O-line mainstays Cam Harris and Andrew Carroll combined for five goals and 10 assists, while Philly's Sean Mott and Mike Arcata answered the Rush duo by totaling 10 goals and 11 assists together. The Phoenix had to be pleased that they were competitive in Toronto, but still suffered their third consecutive setback.
Unfortunately for Philly, the losing streak swelled to four on Sunday afternoon as Ottawa pummeled them 30-18. Philadelphia actually led 3-1 early and only trailed by three at the half, but the Phoenix fuel tank looked empty as the Outlaws cruised 17-8 in the final two quarters, including an 6-0 run that transformed a 17-15 nailbiter into a 23-15 rout. Derek Alexander dished six assists, while the Loiseau brothers, Karl and Laurent, each contributed four goals. Alec Arsenault offered a strong all-around performance, with three goals, two assists, and three blocks, accumulating a team-best +7. Ottawa sits at 2-4 in the thick of a five-way clump of East Division teams who all have two or three wins heading into June.
Out West, the Los Angeles Aviators overcame a four-goal third-quarter deficit to improve to 6-0 against division opponents, surpassing San Diego 25-23, the Aviators third win over the Growlers on the season.
Late in the fourth, San Diego had the disc with a chance to tie the game at 24, but Jeff Silverman's third D of the game helped set up Tim Beatty's fifth assist, which gave LA a two-goal cushion and helped the Aviators escape. For the fourth time in the team's last six games, Sean McDougall led the squad in plus/minus (+7), while Zach Theodore tallied six goals despite playing most of his points on D. Sean Ham and Travis Dunn led the Growlers with five goals and five assists, respectively, but the Growlers dipped to 4-4 on the year, with 6-2 LA responsible for three of their four defeats. Both the Growlers and Aviators will face 3-4 San Francisco at home this weekend in a pivotal road trip for the FlameThrowers.
The North Carolina ultimate community need not go holiday shopping anytime soon. They earned their fair share of sweet memories and gold medals this past weekend.
As Raleigh Coach Mike DeNardis said on Twitter, "Not gonna lie, this weekend was straight up frisbee Christmas."
After Mike DeNardis, David Allison, and Jonathan Nethercutt coached the University of North Carolina to three pool play wins on Friday and Saturday and then walloped the Radicals on Saturday night, the multitasking masterminds helped engineer three more victories on Sunday and Monday, as UNC surpassed Washington 15-11 in quarters, Oregon 14-13 in semis, and Pittsburgh 14-10 in the final to win their second college title in the last four years.
Now it's up to Denardis and the Flyers to make Christmas last all year long.
Considering the success of North Carolina youth ultimate (three YCC titles in the past four years) and UNC's college program, it feels like it's only a matter of time before it translates to the professional level too. The pipeline of talent continues to churn out skill and athleticism, and the Raleigh Flyers will look to capitalize on their resources in the coming months and years ahead.
As we sit here in late May 2018, no local community has created youth feeder system as strong as the North Carolina Triangle under DeNardis, Nethercutt, and others. As DarkSide showed all weekend in Milwaukee and the Flyers displayed on Saturday in Madison, their ceiling is mighty high.

Son Charged in 82-Year-Old Mom's Murder Years After He Claimed She Left with a Friend for California
Matt NahamJun 10th, 2022, 5:03 pm
Sylvia Frens
Authorities in Grand Junction, Colorado believe they have solved the murder of an 82-year-old woman who was reported missing by her family on May 29, 2018.
The Grand Junction Police Department on Wednesday announced the arrest of 54-year-old Richard VanderVelde on the accusation that he murdered his mother, Sylvia Frens. For years, there were no new lead as to Frens' whereabouts, but there was suspicion as to VanderVelde's involvement.
On May 19, VanderVelde was found in Florida and taken into the custody of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office as a fugitive from Mesa County sought for first-degree murder, jail and court records show. VanderVelde was released from a Pinellas County lockup on June 3 at 7:46 a.m. and taken to Colorado to face charges in his mother's death.
A 2018 story from The Daily Sentinel noted that VanderVelde was considered a person of interest at the time, and his use of his mother's debit cards and vehicle did not go unnoticed. He was also reportedly pawning her belongings.
Richard VanderVelde pictured in 2018.
"Initial investigation found evidence that Sylvia's son, Richard Vandervelde, who was living with Sylvia at the time of her disappearance, had been using her debit card between February and June of 2018," the Grand Junction Police Department said in a press release. "Transactions indicated the card was used from Grand Junction, CO to Charleston, SC. Vandervelde also took over $10,000 of cash out of Sylvia's bank account and was found to be in possession of her car."
Authorities say VanderVelde continued using the victim's debit card. A June 5, 2018 traffic stop in Missouri, during which VanderVelde allegedly provided a false name, led to an interview. VanderVelde allegedly told Grand Junction detectives a story about his mother leaving for California with a woman named "Barb" for a funeral.
"During the interview, Vandervelde claimed Sylvia left with a friend for California in April but did not disclose any further information about where Sylvia went, or when she planned to return. He also stated that his use of Sylvia's debit card was authorized by her. Unfortunately, the interview did not produce any fresh leads," the department said.
After three-plus of years of investigating Frens' disappearance, Grand Junction investigators finally discovered the victim's remains — reportedly in a trash bag inside a manhole. The discovery was made in March 2022 as authorities searched the property of Frens' former residence. VanderVelde lived at the residence at the time Frens disappeared. Police said in the press release that an autopsy found Frens was the victim of a homicide and "had injuries consistent with blunt force trauma to the head."
VanderVelde now faces charges of first-degree murder, tampering with a deceased human body, crimes against an at-risk adult, fraud-identity theft, theft, motor vehicle theft, and abuse of a corpse.
"I cannot even express how much I appreciate the diligent efforts of the GJPD these last four years," her daughter Shari VanderVelde said in a Facebook post thanking the department. "My sister and I are finally getting some closure and it's bc the detectives on Sylvia's case never gave up. Thank you to the entire team from the bottom of my heart."

11-year-old African elephant named Bets dies unexpectedly at Fresno Chaffee Zoo in California
Fresno Chaffee Zoo(FRESNO, Calif.) -- An 11-year-old African elephant died unexpectedly over the weekend at a zoo in Fresno, California.
The female elephant, named Bets, died at Fresno Chaffee Zoo late on Saturday, just 36 hours after staff noticed she was "not behaving normally" and her health began to "rapidly" decline, according to a press release from the zoo.
The cause of death was unknown, pending a necropsy and pathology reports, the zoo said in the release.
"We consulted with zoo veterinarians around the country to devise our treatment plan. Bets had staff with her to monitor and care for her," Dr. Shannon Nodolf, the zoo's chief veterinary officer, said in a statement Sunday. "We did everything we could in a short amount of time."
Bets arrived at Fresno Chaffee Zoo in May 2015, where she shared a space with three other African elephants. Her remains and tissue samples will be analyzed for scientific study in hopes the findings will allow veterinarians to learn more about her health, according to the zoo's press release.
"We're extremely saddened by the loss of Bets. This is a great loss to Fresno Chaffee Zoo and our community," the zoo's CEO, Scott Barton, said in a statement Sunday. "The team continues to work to understand the underlying cause."
Elephants are known to live long lives, but they have considerably shorter life spans in captivity than they do in the wild.
A six-year study published in the journal Science in 2008 revealed that wild African elephants in Kenya's Amboseli National Park lived more than three times as long as their captive counterparts living in European zoos.
The researchers found obesity and mental stress to be likely factors to their untimely deaths.

Voices of Youth at the MCA
Community Education Events Youth
Marissa Reyes explains the TCA and how we teach youth what it means to engage the public.
It really is about, how have we sort of equipped our 25 Teen Creative Agency members to think about the museum as a space in which they can invite young people to have an experience with contemporary art and culture and ideas. And we—so over the course of the year, these 25 teens have gone through a journey of getting to know the museum, and to understand, who are the voices and perspectives that are represented in the museum, and how can their presence and their voice add to the ways in which we sort of reach out to our publics? And so over the course of the year, they're understanding the museum, the artists, what it means to engage the public.
And then for 21Minus, they then put out a call for proposal from other youth artists in the city to propose projects and to engage the museum public. And our 25 teens curate those projects. They work with those—this year it was over 75 youth artists. They worked with those 75 youth artists to shape those projects.
And for one day in June, the museum is taken over by these amazing youth artists. But it's not just for the teens; it's people—museum visitors, grown-ups are also around and engaging with the artists and with the works of art. So it's just—it was cool.

Using my Vox AD50VT with a Fender Deluxe Players Strat (excuse the clams). I really like this amp model. It's got plenty of sweet, usable gain.
The only effect used on this clip is some delay from the amp. No pedals used here.
I'll make more clips of my other favorite model, the UK70 (Marshall).
Holy Crap! Great tone, Robert - and a VERY hip lick @~0:51 into the vid. I always dig your playing.
Damn man! I have that amp (in pieces cause I took the speaker out to put in my Crate V18, plus the internal speaker out stopped working, but anyway) I always liked the Boutique clean and OD patches. You really make 'em smoke though! That's a MIM strat yes?
Thanks Robert, whats the best blues tone setting you can get out of it?
For not a lot of bucks these amps rock, I bought one after viewing one of your reviews, keep it up Robert.
Now I really want to add another amp in my room!!!
Sounds great... I recently bought a Vox Tonelab LE and I love the classic vibe it has. Vox knows their stuff when it comes to classic tone - unlike most other amps/pedals that seem to be following the high-gain trend.
Great clip as always Robert... I bought my Vox based on your earlier clips of this amp, and it has served me well beyond what I thought it would be caple of.


Are you still uncomfortable about shopping online? It is easy to be concerned about such a fast-growing area of commerce. However, you don't have to be nervous because you're about to get educated on this. The following article will help you discover the world of online shopping.
Comparison shopping and bargain-hunting are integral parts of online shopping. The Internet makes it easy to shop around and find the best deals. If your shopping for the best price, only consider the prices from sites where you feel comfortable making a purchase. No matter how good a price is, ordering from an untrustworthy place is not favorable.
Coupon codes are a great way to get savings when buying things on the web. Many retailers offer discounts and coupons for certain items. By doing an Internet search, you can often find a coupon to use at the time of your purchase. Search for the store name along with the word "coupon" to get excellent discounts. This is perfect for saving money online.
Compare products from one store to another online. Unless you want a specific brand or model, you should compare different products. Pick the one that has everything you need and don't forget to look at the prices. Check out your favorite online retailers since they have new products available regularly.
Be certain you have good anti-virus and anti-malware software installed on your computer before you begin online shopping. Hackers frequently target main shopping retailers in order to break into your accounts and obtain personal information. Pay attention to any red flags that your software indicates about specific sites and notify the webmaster of any shopping website where you notice suspicious goings-on.
TIP! When shopping frequently online, ensure that your anti-malware is current and powerful. Major shopping sites are frequently targeted by hackers and other shady types who try to steal your personal identification or get into your accounts.
If you decide to buy something online, don't give them any information if they ask for your personal Social Security number. Not one site needs your social security number. A site that asks for a social security number is more than likely a scam. Take off and find a better store to buy from.
Do not give your SSN when shopping online. No site needs such information in order to sell you something. If they are being asked during your transaction, then red flags should waving at you for attention. Just back out of the site and locate a better one.
TIP! There is no reason to provide your SSN when shopping online. There is no website that needs this number for you to make a purchase.
Do you feel like you are spending too much money on expedited shipping services? If so, consider switching to standard shipping, and be patient. You are sure to be surprised by how quickly standard shipping delivers your goods to your door. This option will also help you save a lot of money.
Before purchasing from any online store or seller, check customer ratings and reviews. These comments can let you know what type of experience to expect for a particular retailer. If someone has had a lot of negative ratings put out there against them, then they need to be avoided.
TIP! When considering purchasing a product from a new retailer, you should first check out customer reviews. This will help ensure that you will receive what you are expecting to receive.
If you do lots of online shopping with a given store, think about registering with the site. This not only saves time when it comes to checking out, but many other money-saving benefits. For instance, your account can be set up for receiving emails on special deals before the public knows about them. Additionally, with a registered account you can keep track of each order and make any returns easier.
Carefully look at the page in which your desired item is on. Check over the specifics like how large the item is and see if it includes the features you're looking for. Remember that the product photo may not be exactly like the item you receive.
If you're trying to find good coupons, you should sign up to get a newsletter from the stores of your choice. Often you'll find that store allow people that are signed up to get the best deals instead of new recruits. These stores will continue to offer special deals to their loyal customers. This can result to significant savings over time.
TIP! Signing up for email newsletters from the online stores you buy from regularly is a great way to score coupons and other special deals. Many online retailers reserve their best offers for those who have recently signed up for their newsletters.
Are you more confident after reading this article? Understand the world of online shopping is evolving continuously; therefore, you need to be aware of these changes. Keep all the information described in mind so that you can have a much better time. An educated consumer is a safe consumer.

Slow category navigation on Sony Android TV via Video app
rooob
Fri Sep 27, 2019 3:52 pm by rooob
I have this setup:
- servio 2.0 running on iMac Mojave accessing a WDMYCLOUD NAS
- Sony KD55A1 running Android 8.0
After installing the first Bravia Android Oreo version (and subsequent update) the stock Video app connected to serviio is extremely slow to navigate the categories supplied by the serviio server. You go through the folder till, i.e., Last video played and than try to go back and it takes ages only to show the folder.
Obviously I thought about a bug in Sony software (and it could be since it is still fast through a Sony BDP S5100 player), but than I realize that using a different DLNA server (twonky supplied directly by WDMYCLOUD nas) it is still very fast in the navigation (although with fewer functionalities).
I've tried to reinstall serviio, resetting the creation of metadata since the new video app is displaying thumbnails also for folder to non avail...
Any suggestion? anyone as reported it?

Re: Slow category navigation on Sony Android TV via Video ap
Hi, I also have the same issue. There seems to be a kind of incompatibility with sony android devices. My Bravia TV and Xperia Phone suffer this issue with the stock app. Maybe a profile topic? I use the generic DLNA Profile
Fri Nov 01, 2019 2:24 pm by atc98092
I don't think it's an Android issue. My Nvidia Shield runs on Android, and I have no problems with slow navigation when using Kodi or MrMC. It might take a few moments to load each category when I select it, but that is usually based on the number of titles that have to be loaded.
Fri Jul 03, 2020 1:17 pm by gobater
It is definitely a Sony Android TV issue. I can navigate through the server with BubbleUpnp but the "Video" app supplied with my Sony Android TV and my Sony Xperia Mobile Phone is very slow navigating (it takes minutes to show the categories)
Fri Jul 03, 2020 4:58 pm by atc98092
Yeah, I've heard that numerous times about the Sony Android TV OS. Just not very responsive. The only solution is to use an outboard device instead of the TV apps. I stopped using the built in Samsung apps years ago, because they don't hold a candle to a Roku, Fire TV or Shield player. There's nothing that can be done to improve the performance of the TV apps.
Tue Jul 07, 2020 5:47 pm by gobater
I am sure there is something "special" in Sony's implementation of DLNA protocol that does not play well with Serviio (nothing related to App speed).
I don't know about Samsung apps (I only had an old F series which was quite responsive), or Roku, but don't know why I should need another box instead of using the features of my TV? I have tried other apps (like Kodi) and even if much more responsive, they do not manage sound as well as my stock App does.
The TV is recognized as a "MediaRenderer" by serviio and gets assigned the default "Generic DLNA profile". Changing to a profile with the "SonyDLNAMessageBuilder" improves quite a lot navigation speed, but it is still slow, at least the first time. I can play a little with the profiles but it seems that a customized "MessageBuilder" could help. Where can I find some information about the "special" message Builders? (Samsung also has its own)
I could try to get and provide a PCAP trace if it would help.
Tue Jul 07, 2020 6:12 pm by atc98092
Huh, I had never noticed that <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder> label before. I have no idea what it does. It's only used 12 times in the Profiles file: once for the generic, and the rest Samsung, Sony and Panasonic. In my experience creating the Roku profiles, it's not something that was ever used. It's mentioned on the Support page about building profiles, but there's no explanation about what it might do. I did a quick web search, but found nothing of interest.
The most important reason for using a profile designed for the player is for better compatibility. I can't say if that might make it more responsive, but stranger things have happened before. But if you're using a Sony TV you'll most likely get the best experience using one of the Sony profiles.
Thu Jan 14, 2021 8:26 pm by gobater
Today I updated my TV to Android 9 (Pie). Sony has now a new "Media Player" Stock App instead of the old "Video" app.
I have also installed Serviio 2.1 in my NAS and navigation seem much faster in my TV (using the generic profile).
Don't ask me what has changed...

Entertainment Bollywood 04 Jan 2018 Anushka granted leave of absence

Anushka granted leave of absence
THE ASIAN AGE. | NOYON JYOTI PARASARA
Published : Jan 4, 2018, 12:30 am IST
Updated : Jan 4, 2018, 12:30 am IST
Not just SRK, Zero director Aanand L. Rai too was glad to give Anushka some time off.
Anushka Sharma is trying to find the right work-life balance. As she travels to South Africa with her husband Virat Kohli, as the first lady of Indian cricket, her own shooting schedule remains firmly in her control.
The actress currently has two movies under production, her own Pari and Shah Rukh Khan's next, Zero. Pari is scheduled to release in February, while Anushka should commence shooting for Zero when she's back.
Interestingly, while everyone was left guessing about her wedding plans, Anushka seems to have planned it to the T. "She had informed the team quite some time back about her plans. And now they're waiting for her to get back to shooting," a source reveals. "In fact, SRK hasn't taken up any work because he doesn't want to get caught up in shoots and not be available when Anushka is getting back to the sets." The Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi's friendship seems to be as strong as ever, and the little jig Shah Rukh broke into at Virushka's reception is only proof.
Not just SRK, Zero director Aanand L. Rai too was glad to give Anushka some time off. "Anushka, in fact, wanted to return a couple of days early just so our schedule doesn't suffer. But we took a collective decision, and told her she should enjoy this period to the fullest. She can get back to work when she's done with her vacation," says the director, who is using this pause to promote his movie Mukkabaaz.

The technology I use to create my work is quite different from the traditional mediums known in art.
Yet, I will explain how extremely close my techniques are to a traditional approach. I simply use the computer as a tool, just like a photographer uses his camera, or a painter his brush. For me, the computer is my camera, brush and canvas.
It opens a whole new world of possibilities for me as an artist to work with a medium that is so exciting and new.
Each work is created with 3D-software. I fuse the latest technology with traditional techniques. Instead of making sketches, I always work from imagination. When I start sculpting in 3D-software I let the idea evolve in a natural way. Sometimes a work takes a completely different direction. Often it almost becomes an exact blue-print of my mind. Sculpting in 3D-software is like working with clay or stone. Just like a sculptor or model-maker I slowly create my ideas from scratch. I work on a Wacom-tablet and with my pen tool I create my sculptures displayed on my computer monitor.
I can work weeks, even months on a sculpture before I consider it finished. From there on I can take two directions; import my digital 3D-sculpture in rendering software and start creating a digital painting which, when finished, will be printed with archival inks on museum quality cotton paper. Or, I let a professional 3D-printer create a real sculpture from my digital file, which then will be hand-painted with acrylics. Both directions go through a whole creative process and take a considerable amount of time. I also make use of antique materials like glass domes to display my sculptures. I like that particular feeling of decay in my work.
Results from the 3D-printer, printed in high resolution ultra fine detail.
When I create a digital sculpture, the work only exists in virtual reality. I can rotate it, zoom in, work on it in the utmost detail but there is always the inventible distance between me as a living person and a computer screen. But when my digital creation becomes 'real', that is such a thrill.
The painting approach I choose is a meticulous process of building-up thin layers of transparent paint.
It all starts with a high poly sculpture I make in 3D software.
Although everything is made in a digital environment I still use very traditional skills to create my art. What I create on my computer is extremely close to real sculpting and painting techniques.
Finished sculpture under antique glass dome.
Process of a 3D-printed sculpture.
Process of a digital painting.
Like with a 3D-printed sculpture, it all starts with a high poly sculpture I make in 3D software.
The finished digital 3D-model will be imported in 3D-rendering software. With rendering software I can set-up a studio-like environment in where I add a camera, lights and textures. It usually takes a lot of adjustments and experimentation before I am happy with the right atmosphere of the scene.
When everything is ready I render the whole scene, that means that the computer will make a 2D-image from the 3D-scene I created. The rendered 2D-image will then serve as a basis for further digital painting, texturing and adjusting until the work is completely finished. The final digital painting will then be printed in the highest possible quality with archival pigments inks on museum quality cotton paper, so called 'Giclee' or 'Pigment print'.
