First work of 2012. 1 of only 3 wall mounted works I have ever made. I had the idea for the center structure of this a while back, the rest of it didn't show up inside my head until a few weeks ago.
It is assembled with a similar structure as SH633. each section is joined by a turn buckle style fastener, here you can see it is a piece of aluminum square stock with a right hand and a left hand thread machined on each end. The Bronze wheel with the square hole drives it and I tightened it all down with this hastily fashioned spanner wrench.
a partially assembled shot for scale (sharpie for reference) Enjoy.
Final work and news of 2011
Tue, Dec 13 2011 01:36
Well, the year is coming to a close and my shop is a mess, time for a good cleaning and then a break, but first things first. I just put the finishing touches on this beauty and I couldn't be more pleased with my final effort this year. I always try to be ambitious towards years end and this year was no exception.
This work went through more variations and re-workings than any that I can remember. It was on and off the drawing board for well over a year before I started any actual work.
And when I settled on a final design, I realized I didn't even have the proper tooling to build it. I had been planning to build a new CNC lathe for some time, but this design was the motivation I needed to actually get that piece of equipment built. If anyone is interested in seeing that entire process during the build, there is a slide show here.
So to make a long story short, I took the entire month of October off from making Sculpture in order to build my new Lathe, just so I could begin work on this piece.
Well worth the effort and now I have greatly expanded my capabilities for future work.
Above is a good example of why I needed to build a new machine. the top photo is a before, and the bottom is an after of how I cut the inner radius for the main spokes of the piece, I needed the inside profiles of each spoke socket to curve away to match the inner circumference of the main body. This was the only way I could come up with to get the correct radius on the curve, and my little old CNC lathe was definitely not up to the task.
I also shot some more video as I am doing some testing for some better documentation. Rather than embed it, Here is a link the my FaceBook video page.
Here is a context shot. The finished work is 19"x22"x14".
In other news, I was chosen to receive a "B grant" from the Baker Memorial fund, which is a Baltimore based fund that recognizes achievement in the arts for local artists. It is alway's nice to be recognized in your own home town and it is very flattering to be chosen. See you next year.
A New Edition
Thu, Dec 1 2011 02:47
Thought I would post my newest work. I made three of these little gems and they are directly related to some of the geometry I am using in my current large project (to be completed by the end of the year).
When I work on larger projects I am always left with the feeling I am not accomplishing anything because of the long period of time it takes to complete. So I figured I would work a smaller project into the middle of the process so I would have something to show for myself at the half way point. Much of the geometry for this is derived from that project in some form or another.
As with most of my editions, I designed it to come off the base so that it can be appreciated as a compact object.
I shot a short video
Me and a friend were playing around with video documenting some of my processes and took some footage while turning the tops of this edition. And seeing as it was from this piece, I thought I would post a link to it in case some of you were interested in seeing it. . Its not the most exciting thing you will ever see, but it is gratifying to watch the chips peel off. Process Video Link
Here is a peek at the piece that Is well underway in my shop. I have been working on it for over a month already and have a big pile of parts, but there are a few weeks to go. So look for it by the end of the year.

A commission leads to an interesting pair of works.
These are my latest creations ( There are three here). The pair you see above are a variant on the one here just below. The one below was a commission for a collector who liked my TI 524422363 so much he wanted me to dream up something with a similar organic, yet vortex-ish flavor.
I always welcome a challenge and rarely get to revisit an idea so soon after completion so I jumped right on the opportunity and dreamed up the work you see here above. The other two are a variation on this one, born out of my dislike of wasting good metal.
You see, the copper center ring for the commissioned piece (seen here above) was a bit tricky to cut, as copper always is. So I decided it would be prudent to do some test cutting in Aluminum, which is much more forgiving. It helped work out the bugs in the program and avoid any potential copper wasting mistakes. But, it left me with two aluminum blanks that were the same shape as the copper. Rather than waste them, or save them until the distant future when one day I designed something I could use them in, I thought it would be interesting to play with the idea of variants. Essentially keeping the composition and the center piece the same as the original, but redesigning and tweaking the lines on each of the other components. Rather than a conical center shape to hold all the splines, I went with a rounded shape, I revisited my treatment of the center opening and tweaked the design of the splines themselves.
Lastly, I decided I could also make the spin off pair different from each other using color. The pair are geometrically the same, But I employed different materials and anodizing to produce two very different looks. Brass verses copper on the insides, and the Blue and Orange Anodizing. I had often wondered how material selection effected the outcome of my works and this was a great chance to have a real world example. I normally run various combinations through my head as I design, It is great to be able to realize a few of them rather than just picking a single winner.
One of the benefits of anodizing over just using a colored metal is that it provides the opportunity to machine the color back off to accentuate certain geometries. In this case I was able to highlight a beautiful little detail produced by the pattern cut into the ring. A bit hard to see in the photos but if you click through to the full size image on my web page you can get a better look. Comments as usual are always welcome.
The Pollack Krasner Foundation
One other bit of good news. I was notified just a week or so ago that I have been chosen to receive a grant from the Prestigious Pollack-Krasner Foundation. The Grant is designed to give financial assistance based on both merit and financial need. This is the second time I have been awarded one of these most sought after grants, a rare honor indeed. If you are an artist struggling to make a go at establishing yourself, visit the website and see if this is a grant that might work for you. www.pkf.orgTI 524422363

Every once in a while, I get myself into making something and it just seem sthat everything that can go wrong, will and is going wrong. But when I press on through it, the product at the other end is a wonderful mixture of good intentions and adjusting to the circumstances at hand. This piece in particular exemplifies the term, happy accidents.
I take everything in stride (or at least I try to), but I am always amazed at how strange accidents seem to clump up. Between having my house struck by lightning which damaged the CNC controller and speed sensors in my Lathe. Not to mention fried various other lights and electronics through out my house, cracking a bearing in my CNC Mill (completely unrelated), Which knocked out a second machine for over a week, Snapping a few expensive bits relearning the joys of working in copper, and a few other smaller things not worth mentioning, I still managed to make this sculpture while adjusting and adapting to the ever changing tooling and set ups at my disposal. I hope that does not sound like I am complaining, I am simply trying to relate the circumstances that influenced many of my design choices while making this work.
So to start out, I had been playing with the idea of doing a more free form piece for a while, meaning not planning so much, and instead, began by picking up pieces of metal, and started cutting to see where it lead. Naturally my eye drifted to this gorgeous piece of copper I had sitting around and I worked from there. As I alluded to above, Copper is as difficult a material as there is to machine due to it being very soft and very sticky (as far as metal is concerned) It requires lots and lots of cutting oil to keep the tool from binding and I was reminded of this rather quickly as I started this project.
So just when I would start to settle in on a final design, be it lightning or another break down, I would have to stop, rethink what I was doing, and adjust, which lead to a number of design changes that I think in retrospect worked out for the better. The process for this one was much more fluid and dynamic than usual and though a bit more uncertain and stressful, more rewarding in some ways. In the end, I had to bypass some of the fried circuits in my lathe so that I could operate the burned out parts manually, I did a few operations the old fashioned way, and design around the rest. It was lots of fun.

It's unlikely that fossil fuel power stations that capture and store their CO2 emissions could supply eastern Australia's electricity more cheaply than renewable energy technologies like solar and wind power. That's according to a study based on hour-by-hour analysis of electricity demand by Ben Elliston, Iain MacGill and Mark Diesendorf from the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Although renewables are often seen as expensive, these findings highlight that they can be competitive after accounting for the impact of burning coal and gas on our climate. "Our studies, and those conducted by other research groups around the world, find that it is possible to operate reliable national and subnational electricity systems on predominantly renewable energy generated by commercially available technologies and that these systems are affordable," Mark told me.
Ben is a PhD student, supervised by Iain and Mark, and together the three have sought to answer key questions about renewable energy. Is it possible to supply a whole electricity grid's needs with these technologies, or are some 'base-load' coal or gas power stations needed to fall back on? And if it is possible, would it be affordable?
To answer these questions, Ben designed a computer programme to simulate running an electricity supply system. His program can go through a year's hourly data on electricity demands, wind and sunshine over the region in a fraction of a second. "Everything else follows from this, provided of course one asks the right questions," Mark noted.
Over the last two years they have published work exploiting that programme, first showing that it's possible to reliably supply 100% of eastern Australia's electricity using renewable energy. Wind and solar power supplied most of the electricity, but output from these technologies varies due to changes in weather. But rather than filling gaps with fossil fuels, they showed existing hydroelectric power stations and gas turbines burning biofuels could be used to meet the grid's reliability standard.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Soft and generous fruit, its tannins enveloped by a warm and ripe juicy fruit layer. The wine is already delicious, showing sweet tannins and a subtle touch of wood."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Although it begins with austerity, its acidity and tannins dominant, the palate opens beyond its youthfulness after a few moments. It becomes dark and powerful, certainly still dryly tannic, but the fruit is generous, and the final taste is of beautiful, ripe fruits.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A powerfully ripe wine, with pure black currant flavors over soft, polished tannins. The wood balance is exemplary, offering just the right lift. Touches of cinnamon and vanilla give an extra dimension."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Elegant notes of Chinese black tea, blackcurrants, licorice, and flowers emerge from this excellent, medium-bodied, supple-textured Margaux."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Barrel sample. A very smooth, rich wine, with a slight touch of pepper from the alcohol. The tannins are huge but submerged by ripe fruit. There's almost Napa-like ripeness, but also delicious acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Blueberry, licorice and sandalwood, with a solid core of fruit. Velvet and mineral. Lots going on. An impressive wine from tiny yields. 75 percent Merlot and 25 percent Cabernet Franc."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "From the same stable as Mouton Rothschild and d'Armailhac, Clerc Milon, despite the relatively high percentage of Merlot (44%) combined with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Cabernet Franc, is dense, rich, tannic, and backward. Surprisingly muscular for this offering, which often exhibits..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An intense, tight wine, with stalky black currant fruit. It exhibits delicacy and elegance rather than power. Fresh fruit with an attractive smoky element make this a wine that is going to develop further, and it has a fresh, vibrant finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..

The Pisgah Staff sees experiential education as an asset to traditional education, not a replacement for it. We tailor design experiences for the classroom to align with what is being learned through textbooks and lectures. This allows students to put into action various concepts and solidify connections by experimenting with these theories. It is proven when students engage in a mental and physical activity together, concepts are retained longer.
Here are some examples of classes we have designed experiences for:
COM 220 Group Communications (Todd Allen)
Want to learn about groups by being in a group?
Special designed activities allow students to see and experience first-hand how elements such as conflict, group formation process, motivation, communication, group climate and leadership effect group performance. On Tuesday, students learn about the concepts from book and lecture. On Thursday these concepts are brought to life.

AMA Research are pleased to announce the publication of the 11th edition of the report: 'Domestic Bedroom Furniture Market Report - UK 2012-2016 Analysis'. The report includes up to date information on recent trends and issues that continue to impact on the market.
The market has followed an interesting path in recent years, with a relatively static performance in the middle of the decade followed by a downturn in the market in 2008 and 2009, in common with many other consumer durable markets. Sales since then have been broadly stable in value terms, although volumes have continued to decline.
In the case of the bedroom furniture sector, the market has been more badly affected than the kitchen sector, perhaps because of the higher profile of the kitchen in consumers' minds or the continuing promotion by the national retailers involved in that market. The bedroom market tends to be driven to a greater extent by need, rather than desire, as in the case of the kitchen furniture market for example, although both sectors have suffered in recent years.
The market has been difficult and highly competitive and the report examines the various aspects underpinning different sectors and driving change in the industry and assesses the likely future prospects for the sector through to 2016.
Alstons (Cabinets), Andrena Furniture, Bebecar (UK), Canburg, Carlton Furniture, Charles Barr Furniture, Chartley Furniture Design, Corndell Furniture Co, Crown Products (Kent), Daval Furniture, Dean House, Ercol Furniture, Eric Bates & Sons, Flexa Furniture, Gautier, H. Morris & Co, Hammonds Furniture, Hulsta Furniture (UK), Kingstown Holdings, Neville Johnson, Paragon Interior Furniture, Sharps Bedrooms, Spacemaker Bedrooms, Stompa UK, Strachan Furniture Makers, The Symphony Group, Thuka Furniture, Whiteleaf Furniture, William Ball, Willis Gambier (UK), Woodberry Bros and Haines, Wren Kitchens and Bathrooms.
The UK Bedroom Furniture market was estimated to be worth approximately £575m (MSP) in 2011, representing approximately 12% of the overall Domestic Furniture market. Following substantial growth in the early 2000's, the market became more difficult and as the decade progressed experienced significant declines in 2008 (4%) and 2009 (6%). As a result the share of the overall furniture market has declined since 2002.
The onset of the housing crisis towards the end of 2007 and the impact of the global credit crunch, resulting in the world economic recession, reduced levels of consumer confidence. Other pressures within the domestic furniture market have included the rapid penetration of low cost imports from the Far East and Eastern Europe, which has driven down prices and margins.
Other constraints include increased competition from a number of high profile players, including IKEA, Argos, Shop Direct, together with threats from newcomers, such as Tesco and Asda. Growing competition in a declining market is also reflected in the increasing number of liquidations in the sector, both at manufacturer and retail level, although no major retailer has failed, since MFI, a market leader in this sector, went into liquidation.
Many of the UK fitted furniture suppliers are vertically integrated companies, involved in the design, manufacture and installation of their own furniture and often marketed through their own retail outlets or via concessions in other stores
Whilst imports have increased significantly in the last decade and currently account for around 69% of the bedroom furniture market, most fitted furniture is manufactured in the UK. However, not all imports are in the budget sector, since Germany, Italy and Denmark accounted for 13% of imports in 2011. This compares with China, whose exports of bedroom furniture to the UK were increasing annually until 2011 and reached £136.4m in that year, representing 34.3% of UK total imports in this category.
Modular furniture continues to be popular and the trend towards smaller houses and households will sustain this trend, as demand for clever storage solutions continues to grow. Solid wood furniture or finishes remain in high demand in the medium to upper sector of the market, however, the variety and range of contemporary styles in alternative woods is also increasing, as is the demand for painted finishes.
Most of any future growth within the bedroom furniture sector is expected to come from the lower end of the market and in the short term this sector may gain at the expense of the medium to higher priced end, driven by companies such as IKEA, Argos and Tesco, with their ranges of affordable and innovative products, together with the expanding variety of cheap imports available in other outlets. Internet and catalogue retailers will increase their share of overall sales, and most types of outlet will increase the proportion of their products sold via the Internet.
In general, it appears that short term prospects for the next 5 years are likely to prove relatively difficult for the overall furniture industry, with forecasts showing little or very modest volume growth. The bedroom furniture market is forecast to show slow but increasing growth in the next few years, reaching a value of £650m in 2016, compared to an estimated £575m in 2011.

Hail to thee, Sexy Adventurer! Aching Dreams 2nd Session is a Hentai Fantasy based Dating Sim.
All of the art is completely original, with loads of hard work invested in the story and characters.
Travel to Ancient Serenia, date the women, train your stats at the guild hall, and buy new weapons at the shop. Immerse yourself in a five hour plot heavy game!
The success of Aching Dreams 1 has prompted us to make a pay for sequel. AD2 is NOT a free flash game, but there's a lot of free stuff to enjoy! Jeanne's story is free. You can buy the rest of the game for 10$.
EDIT: AD3 is in production. Check it out at hentaicook.com

I did not expect to to find a web browser based game that could hook me for as many hours as this game has. It has a pretty well thought out story, provides good laughs, and good H scenes.
While the character sprites may be two dimensional, the characters themselves show more depth than that at times, making you care about them, getting the player more invested in the scenes; including the H scenes. (H scenes are better when they involve characters you know)
The RPG elements work fairly well, offering a challenge, and forcing you to think about your choices. However, this is also the games drawback. The outcomes of your choices can be frustrating; outcomes of choices are not always logical, being affected by your BASICS stats in ways that are left for the player to guess, as well as being affected by the roll of the die. Sometimes, selecting the same exact choices with the same exact BASICS stats can have two different outcomes. Lastly, when it comes to completing or failing to complete a quest, often the only difference between the two is the message at the end, leaving the player confused as to why they failed, when the same things happen when you successfully complete the quest. Other times, there are only minor differences in events.
Still, in my humble opinion, this game is worth the $10 to unlock the full version. I would recommend playing it on the Hentaicook website. The version there seems to be a little newer. When you right click and press "rewind" to go back to the beginning, the game doesn't re-download all the files, it just restarts, and the spacebar works to skip past text, like in Aching Dreams 1. While you can play the full version on NewGrounds, I was only able to access the unlock options on the Hentaicook website. (Just don't rewind during a mission, it broke my saves)
On a final note, it would be a time saver to have instructions on how to purchase the game, either in the game itself, or in the game's description.
Here's a copy of the instructions for purchasing the full version, just so they are easier to find:
To buy, register at andrograde.com, buy the required coins for the game (1100), login in the actual game, and use those coins to unlock the game permanently. If you have problems with these steps, contact [email protected]
Thanks for the review.

Why do we have limited days? I just want to continue what I'm doing, without losing my progress...
There are two reasons the game has limited days. First, it provides a plausible story to the player: relationships usually take a couple of weeks to come to fruition. Giving the player unlimited days would create a scenario in which all women were dated at some point in the player's progression. That point would require an explanation on how these women reacted to that fact, or if the player's character could keep it a secret (see the film: How to be a Player (1997)). I didn't want to shift the focus of an impending doom castle into a focus where the player is being... a player.
Secondly and mainly, it provides difficulty. If the player had unlimited days, he wouldn't have to make any good decisions. A good decision is when the player chooses the right equipment to bring into training. We want the player to make decisions like this. A bad decision is when he loses all of his HP in training, and must rest for three days. If we penalize the player three days out of his thirty, there's a sense of loss. A sense of loss provides challenge.
I am glad that you asked this question. You, my dear fapper, stand much to benefit from understanding difficulty. Difficulty can be beneficial to us. Losing a game signifies that the player must do something differently in order to win. In this case, you might learn that time management is important, or not everything is free. Thirty days are a restriction. Learn restriction.
The next Aching Dreams will have a different spin on the day system. It's a zombie survival game. You have an unlimited number of days, but you are limited by your actual skill to survive. You might last anywhere from 30 to 70 days.
Rated 5 / 5 stars November 25, 2013
I have purchased the full version played through it multiple times (all on easy XD) and have enjoyed it, it was definitely worth the money. One question on your home site I cant go to the blog it says 404 page not found and was wondering what the news is on the third one. Also I know I said one question but I missed the fund raising off ads3 and was wondering if you will be offering the extra for a marked up price after the release.
I'll fix the blog link, thanks for pointing it out. News of the third one will be posted later on. If you missed the fund raising, I might hold another one later on.

No, Grant's statement is probably right. "Engineer" is a protected term. He's only entitled to call himself one if he's licensed to be an engineer by (presumably) California.

Well, the reason that he said it was he was soldering a crystal to a stick, which in turn would be soldered a string connected to a rheostat. He was having some difficultly with making the stuff stay together.
I think the statement was meant to ironic, considering his electronic/robotic skills, engineer or not.

Completely off topic: That's always been a major pet peeve of mine. I was a pretty good engineer for 20 years before I took the stinkin' exam. And passing didn't make me a better one. I really don't know why I bothered except that the company offered free tuition to the refresher course. I'm not sure why I'm keeping it up-to-date now that I've retired, either.
Completely on topic: I'm with Henrik on the line wrap thing. That's a case of BREAKING something that didn't need fixing.

I don't think so. Professional Engineer is a "protected term" and requires licensing, but an engineering degree is sufficient to call yourself an engineer in these parts (not counting that train operator issue the Kaptain mentioned). My first job out of college was as an official US government "0855 Electrionics Engineer" and I didn't need a PE.
Of course, other countries may have different rules.
Back on topic, that is the worst wink ever!

In this state, if you advertise yourself as an engineer, put it on your business card, or anything of the sort, the state board will come after you. Regardless of your education or expertise. I get their quarterly newsletter in which they report on doing just that. There's a loophole for engineers working for companies, where they are required to work under the "direct supervision" of a PE. They don't bother enforcing that, however. It might be humorous to see them going after Boeing if they found one of the many "Chiefs" wasn't a PE.
Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt.
Your location is listed as near Grover's Mill. If that's in New Jersey, then you are incorrect. If it's not NJ, then never mind.
From the New Jersey State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors regulations:
13:40-3.1 Licensure requirement; issuance and display
of certificate; advertising
(a) A person shall not use the title "professional engineer,"
"engineer" or its substantial equivalent or otherwise represent
to the public that the person is licensed to practice engineering
in this State unless that person is licensed by the Board.
13:40-3_2 Licensure exemptions: acceptable measurements
by professional engineers
(aJ The following persons shall be exempt from the licensure
requirements of N.J.A.C. 13:40-3.1:
3. An employee or a subordinate of an individual holding
a valid license issued by the Board or an employee of a
person exempted from licensure by (a)1 or 2 above, provided
that this practice does not include responsible charge
of design or supervision;
4. An officer or employee of the Government of the
United States while engaged within this State in the practice
of professional engineering or land surveying for that
Thanks geonuc. "Engineer" is one of those terms that has an official meaning that is sometimes different from the common usage. (See any discussion of the term "theory" for a perfect example. ) There are engineers with a PE license, engineers with a degree but no license, the people who operate locomotives (who certainly must have some specialized certification) and the dreaded "tack the term engineer onto any thing you want" type of engineer (i.e., domestic engineer). If you're looking for an engineer, be sure to specify exactly what you are looking for.

These posts have been split off the software upgrade thread. There were a couple of transitional posts I left behind.
That makes me think of this Utah Phillips song.
Partial definition:
An engineer is someone who can take the dreams of a PhD Theorist, and turn them into reality; sometimes with much cursing of said Theorist in the process.
actually, it is an experimentalist that turns the dreams into reality, then the engineer makes them useful
My wife always says "Nurses and Engineers have schizophrenic children."

In most states you can't get a PE license until you have 5 years of experience anyway. What are you until then?
They can do for a shilling what any
fool can do for a pound!
No I dont understand it either.
I'd never hear this saying before, but have an idea of what it means.
Quite a bit of an engineer's job is optimization. I can over-design a deck for my house, but a PE can tell me how strong the beams really need to be. My deck will cost a pound to the engineer's shilling, because my structure will be overly conservative in design.

Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt.
In the UK we really messed up a couple of centuries ago so anybody can be an engineer. To get to be a chartered engineer you need a degree in engineering plus industrial experience and a sponsor to confirm your professional attitude but having done that there is no exclusivity under the law. In germany the equivalent is Dipl. Ing and to be in charge of an engineering project you have to be one in Germany. It's too late now to put it right. (End of rant)
That is pretty amazing that those two professions "hook up" so often. I am really going to ask my wife what she means by that.

As I was 20 years out of college when I took it, I found that exam much tougher than the branch exam I took six months later. The EIT exam is (or was at that time) a general exam given to all types of engineers, including lots of stuff I'd forgotten because I simply hadn't needed it. Thank FSM for the refresher course and even more for the book that came with it, which I took to the test.
At the Mechanical branch exam, I was worried about having to handle HVAC related questions -- not my field at all. I needn't have been. Although fully half the questions were HVAC, you only had to answer half the questions to complete the test!
Net effect of getting licensed on my career: None whatsoever.
Net effect on my life: Loss of time taken up by two tests and associated refreshers, and $75 every two years for maintenance. I'm sort of sorry I bothered.
I think there's a new name instead of EIT now, but I don't remember what it is.
ETA: The EIT is now called FE, for Fundamentals of Engineering. Apparently it's now closed-book, unlike when I took it, and is tailored to specific branches. Linky. I don't know what you call someone who's passed it these days.
Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt.
I was really surprised by this thread (as an engineer) as I was completely unaware of such requirements. Even though I worked for a while in the US.
The wikipedia article linked earlier says that qualifications in the UK include "having a driving license, being physically fit, and not being color blind". That is setting the bar pretty high
