The emergence of a new macro economy in Euro-Asia is a great challenge for academics and policy makers alike. Our book focuses on this macro economy and the monetary and fiscal policy responses. As the new environment has evolved over time, private behaviour as well as policy responses have changed. Policy makers as well as private agents had to learn the new environment. In our book we thus put heavy emphasis on uncertainty and learning. The first part of the book explores monetary policies allowing for uncertainty and time-varying behaviour of economic agents in markets, in particular in the labour market and the monetary policy responses to it. We study both forward and backward looking behaviour, learning and robust control as well as the role of financial markets for policies. The second part explores fiscal policy in the Euro-area, its sustainability, its effects on economic growth and the attempts of the Euro-area to stabilize the public debt. The third part explores monetary and fiscal policy interactions in the Euro-area countries. Since there are many national fiscal authorities but only one monetary authority this is a particularly challenging problem of Euro-area countries. Methodologically, we use modern methods such as advanced econometric methodology, learning models that allows to study time varying behaviour, and dynamic macro modelling and dynamic optimization.

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry has circulated a note on the new shale gas policy for inter-Ministerial consultations.
After receiving comments, it would be placed before the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) for final approval.
The nod from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) is crucial as the `fracking' of shale gas, as the process is called, consumes a lot of water resources at the local level.
"With shale gas emerging as an important new source of energy, India has also decided to tap this potential and has identified several sedimentary basins such as Cambay, Gondwana, Krishna Godawari onland and Cauvery with the help of various U.S. agencies. After the formal approval of the policy, these blocks will be put up for auction," a senior official said.
The Government has already authorised the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) to identify prospective areas of shale gas exploration. A multi-organisational team, comprising the DGH, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Oil India Limited and GAIL India, has been formed to suggest a methodology for shale gas development in the country.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry and the Department of Energy, U.S., has been put in place for assessing shale gas resources in India, for imparting training to Indian geo-scientists and engineers and seeking assistance in formulating a regulatory framework.
The Petroleum Ministry had also asked the U.S. Geological Survey to identify reserves, transfer technology required to tap them, and finalise a policy for exploration. According to estimates, shale gas reserves in India may be larger than proven conventional gas deposits.

Rangers designate 41-year-old Arthur Rhodes for assignment
Aug 2, 2011, 2:46 PM EDT
Texas beefing up the bullpen with Mike Adams and Koji Uehara meant other relievers had to go to make room and today the Rangers designated Arthur Rhodes for assignment.
Rhodes is 41 years old, so his lasting this long as an effective pitcher is pretty amazing, but his performance has definitely slipped this season.
After posting a sub-3.00 ERA in 2008, 2009, and 2010 he has a 4.81 ERA and 15/8 K/BB ratio in 24 innings, serving up six homers while right-handed hitters knocked him around to the tune of a .333 batting average and .633 slugging percentage.
Rhodes remained effective versus left-handed hitters, but his average fastball velocity is down two miles per hour compared to last season and 41-year-old left-handed specialists aren't exactly in high demand. Plus, he's still owed about $1.5 million for the remainder of this season, with a $4 million option for 2012 that will obviously be declined.

- metalhead65 - Aug 2, 2011 at 2:59 PM
that would be pretty funny seeing a former washed up reds player playing for the cardinals instead of the other way around for a change.

First Matt Stairs, now Arthur Rhodes? Geez… RIP my childhood.
- pipkin42 - Aug 3, 2011 at 2:02 AM
Seriously. I grew up an Orioles fan (now I sometimes look at what their newest way to lose was) in the 90s and Rhodes was a monster on those 96-98 teams. Damn.
Always liked the guy, even if he was occasionally frustrating. Godspeed.
- flavadave10 - Aug 3, 2011 at 1:23 PM
Arthur Rhodes once threw three high inside pitches to a guy, and then struck him out. Now THAT'S making a statement. The batter was SO pissed. After that, Rhodes earned my eternal respect.
- bleedgreen - Aug 2, 2011 at 3:38 PM
They should take all the guys DFA'd in a given year, and have them play the world series champs for 1 game.
- genericcommenter - Aug 2, 2011 at 6:54 PM
I remember when he was with the Orioles. Never did I think he would last this long in any role. He put together a nice career.
- bigleagues - Aug 2, 2011 at 7:20 PM
He's got a lot of life left in that arm . . . what? Oh, my bad – thought we were talking about Tuffy Rhodes.
- Chipmaker - Aug 2, 2011 at 7:29 PM
Second among active pitchers in service time to Jamie Moyer, if we consider Moyer to be "active".

Brian Hill is our state representative, and I encourage all voters to cast their ballots to re-elect him on Nov. 6. Brian does a terrific job of representing the people of our community in Columbus. In a short period of time, he has learned how the legislature works and how to get things done that benefit our area. It is not easy being a representative from this part of Ohio because you always are outnumbered by the larger cities, but in spite of that, Brian is able to be effective and work with the delegations from other regions. The result is that we have a real voice and presence in the General Assembly, and we have a respected representative who looks out for our interests. Please, vote for Brian Hill for State Representative.

I think that MS makes a good point that the owner was a "hands off guy" and relied entirely too much on various boat yards to fix this recurring problem.
This unfortunate event also highlights the need for having a backup plan for steering as others have noted.
I am almost surprised that no one has made the arm chair comment: "Why did they not scuttle the boat?" as was done on the csbb forum. I am now thinking that there is, or will be, a fairly nice boat missing only a rudder that will be available to salvage.
It seemed like the sailors were ill prepared for the voyage just on what was said. A voyage across the Atlantic. On abandoning a boat not sinking rather easily makes me wonder, did they really want to save the boat. I dont know just a feeeling. I think a more experieced captain and crew would have affected a different solution. Or even had maybe a makeshift rudder or constructed one to get then to safe harbor. Didnt appear they were in imminent danger with a hurricane bearing down on them. Reading the blog I am amazed they set off on a 22 day crossing with what looked like a very inexperienced crew.
Agree about not watching the work done by the yard may have contributed to their problems, but what good would watching do if you didnt really know what to look for. Many if us are at the mercy of marine contractors who know more about boat issues than we do.
A lot of second guessing is often done by many who are in the boating business and they after all really know better about repairs than most of us, Its why we follow thier advice because it whats they do and we all have different other professions. Because of that its hard to criticise other captains when most of them are like us are not marine professionals and have other jobs we are experts in.
Posters like Maine Sail, Jon Eisenberg,Capt Aaron, Fstbttms, I forget the rigger, are the true marine professionals who post here. We all look at their posts as probably the expertise opinions and put great stock in their views on those issues which they are experts in. I know I do, So then when I use a yard professional hopefully I have been educated by them what to look out for and I value their posts. I like others appreciate Maine Sails how to videos and have looked at all of them, and followed some religiously on my own boat. Because of his videos I have done a few electrical projects I may have let a yard professional do otherwise.
Its important to remember that the rest of us may have a good amount of expertise in other areas to bring to the table like passagemaking, boat bullding, racing sailing, cruising too.
To me it is hard to Monday morning quarterback this guys repairs or choice of who did them, as I dont have the time nor do I work in the industry and I do let others in a yard repair some of my boats issues. This also doesnt make me less than for doing that. I take on the boat projects I feel I can do well myself and that I have time for.
Mainesail said the guy relied entirely too much on the various yards for repairs. That appears to be true. I ask you in your situations, like me who have jobs other than in the marine industry, who cant spend the time repairing your own boats or dont have the expertise, we all rely at some time on these yards for their expertise. We may not have the time, or the resources nor the marine discounts on supplies or network to affect the ultimate decisions on our own boat repairs. We could spend our time working our day jobs and then do our own repairs and then have no sailing time. I am sure thats the situation many of us are in so we used others and the yards to do work for us. Its why I wont criticise this owner for his choices.

Thank you very much motherwren for that great post! It makes total sense, and is basically what my doc tries to tell me (holistic). He just never explained it as well as you. I ususally allow my ds to get on as usual with a high fever (as long as his behaviour doesn't change) but the thing that was worrying me was his discomfort and inability to sleep. What do you think your uncle would suggest in this case? I also like the idea of not eating- again, what if your dc wants to eat and asks for something? Do you think that means his system is ready to accept food? I am so not a worrier and i get my queues from my ds, but I crumble when I see him hurting.

Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight may be terribly estranged from his Oscar-winning daughter Angelina Jolie, but he's "like a second dad" to Skyler Shaye, a young actress that Voight has been squiring around town in recent months.
The blonde, Voight's goddaughter, is not only a stand-in offspring for the actor, she is also making her own international screen debut this fall in Bratz: The Movie, a live-action tribute to the scantily clad dolls. With such strong almost-family connections, an uncanny ability to pout for the camera, and what is sure to be a cult-like tween following, Skyler Shaye (saying both names, always, is a must) seems all set up to become la petit Jolie. Radar wanted to know more about this megastar in the making. Below, Skyler Shaye, in her own words.
Age: 20
Hair color: Platinum blonde
Acting chops: Played an epileptic gymnast on the pilot of Grey's Anatomy, guest starred in a few episodes of Veronica Mars, and made her cinematic debut in Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2. In Bratz, she will play "Cloe, who gets to wear cute jeans and hoodies! My character's passions are soccer and fashion. And showing girls you don't need to be in a clique to be cool."

UCITS: organisational requirements and rules of conduct
Following the recast of the Directive on undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS), the European Commission intends to take measures concerning rules of conduct and organisational requirements for investment companies. This Directive reflects that intention, laying down administrative procedures, and control and risk management mechanisms for UCITS.
Commission Directive 2010/43/EU of 1 July 2010 implementing Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards organisational requirements, conflicts of interest, conduct of business, risk management and content of the agreement between a depositary and a management company (Text with EEA relevance).
This Directive is an implementing measure of the Directive on the rules applying to UCITS. It specifies the organisational requirements with which management companies managing UCITS must comply, as well as rules of conduct and rules on handling conflicts of interest. Furthermore, the Directive establishes requirements concerning the risk management process for UCITS.
Entities concerned by the Directive
This Directive applies to:
- management companies which manage UCITS;
- depositaries;
- investment companies that have not designated a management company.
Administrative procedures and control mechanism
Management companies have a duty to:
- implement decision-making procedures, and an organisational structure;
- ensure that information is transmitted to the relevant persons * in the proper way;
- implement appropriate internal control mechanisms;
- maintain records of their business and internal organisation.
Management companies must safeguard the security, integrity and confidentiality of information.
They must put in place operational accounting procedures in such a way that all assets and liabilities of the UCITS can be directly identified at all times. The accounting procedures must be in accordance with the accounting rules of the UCITS' home Member States.
As regards internal control mechanisms, the senior management of management companies are responsible for general investment policy. They oversee the approval of investment strategies for each UCITS.
Management companies must ensure permanent compliance. This consists of evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of the measures taken to address any failures of the management company in complying with its obligations. Compliance also consists of advising and assisting the persons responsible for carrying out the services and activities of the management company. This work is to be carried out by a person designated for this purpose.
Management companies shall be responsible for maintaining a risk management function at all times, independently of operational units, in particular responsible for:
- implementing the risk management policy and procedures;
- ensuring compliance with the UCITS risk limit system;
- providing advice to the board of directors as regards the identification of the risk profile of each managed UCITS;
- reviewing and supporting the arrangements and procedures for the valuation of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives.
Management companies shall put in place a procedure to prevent certain relevant persons * from:
- performing a personal financial transaction or advising another person to perform such a transaction;
- divulging information that might influence the behaviour of other persons as regards the choice of their transactions.
Portfolio transactions must be recorded in order facilitate future reconstructions of the details of the order, as must be subscription and redemption orders. These records are then to be retained for at least five years.
Conflict of interests
The following situations may lead to conflicts of interest, where:
- the management company is likely to make a financial gain, or avoid a financial loss, at the expense of the UCITS;
- the management company has an interest in the outcome of a service provided to the UCITS or another client which does not share the interests of the UCITS;
- the management company has an incentive to favour the interest of another client;
- the management company carries out the same activities for the UCITS as for another client;
- the management company receives money, goods or services illegally.
Management companies are therefore obliged to define in writing an effective policy as regards conflict of interest, which preserves the independence of the relevant persons.
Rules of conduct
Management companies must treat UCITS unit-holders * fairly. Where they have carried out a subscription or redemption order for a unit-holder, they must send the unit-holder notice containing in particular the following information:
- the management company identification;
- the name of the unit-holder;
- the date and time of receipt of the order and method of payment;
- the date of execution;
- the UCITS identification;
- the number of units involved.
Management companies are not permitted to carry out a UCITS order in aggregate with an order of another UCITS or another client or with an order on their own account.
Risk management
Management companies must implement an operational risk management policy. They are to calculate the global exposure of the UCITS once a day.

Citizens who participate in the panning process would like to feel as if the final decisions are shaped by their input. The research design for this study was a cross sectional, relationship study to determine the relationships between perceived effectiveness of public input, access and availability of information, understanding of the process, setting and timing,fairness of the process and onsite participation. The results of this study prove that the public who participate in master planning processes feel as if their input is used by the professionals who make the final decisions.

Fake Baby Bump - Movie Deal
Faking her pregnancy is the high school project
that keeps paying off for one Toppenish teenager. Gaby Rodriguez
was 17 last April when she told a high school assembly that she'd
faked her baby bump for the past six months to see how the
community would react. The project earned her international
headlines and now she also has movie and book deals her attorney
says are worth about $100,000 apiece.

Damai Lagoon Resort
There are a couple of hotels at Damai Beach we stayed at the Damai Lagoon Resort, which in my opinion was the best one.
The rooms were not exceptional, but the swimming pool was fantastic, with a mini-beach and waterfalls. The best thing is that it was always empty and quiet.

Permai Rainforest Retreat: amazing location
The Permai offers a unique stay in the tropical rainforest. There is a chioice of accomadation; Treehouse(2 people), Cabins(2-6 people) and Longhouses(dorm style). All of these are surrounded by the jungle on one side, and a lovely beach on the other. Each accomadation is seperate from one another, and it feels like you are isolated. We originally booked the air conditioned cabin, but it was pretty old and dark. So we chose the non air-conditioned room cabin, which was a lot newer and brighter. We had to use mosquito nets, because none of the windows were sealed shut. The rooms felt like they had not been used for ages, but they were perfectly bearable. The sounds of insects in the night was deafening, but very nice. There is a small pool that is fed by a mountain stream. The Permai is pretty expensive for its standard, but it was cheaper than any other place around the Damai Beach area. It was empty, apart from 2 other people, because we went in January, the tourist off-season.

Special Correspondent
Adelaide: Adam Gilchrist, who redefined the role of the wicketkeeper-batsman, has retired from Test cricket.
The shock announcement came a day after he broke the record for the most Test dismissals and said he "might retire tomorrow or after 12 months".
The current Test against India at the Adelaide Oval will be the last time this truly great cricketer — termed a once-in-a-generation cricketer by Steve Waugh — entertains the fans. Gilchrist will retire from one-day international cricket at the conclusion of the forthcoming Commonwealth Bank tri-series tournament. Saturday's announcement will also see an end to his career with Western Australia and Perth Cricket Club. "It is with great pride and happiness that I make the decision to retire from Test and One-day cricket" said the 36-year-old, who told his team-mates on Saturday morning.
Moving to next phase
"I've come to this decision after much thought and discussion with those most important to me. I am now ready and excited to move into the next phase of my life which will, of paramount importance include much more time with Mel, Harrison, Annie and Archie."
Gilchrist recalled an earlier era with the way he played his cricket. A wonderfully uninhibited striker of the ball, he could turn a Test match in a session. He announced himself in Test cricket in a miraculous chase against Pakistan at Hobart. His high-on-the-handle batting grip was emulated across the cricketing world. Barring his recent struggles with both bat and gloves, he rarely looked careworn. Matthew Hayden said Gilchrist would be "deeply, deeply missed". "He is one of the greatest to have ever played the game," said Hayden.
"He was incredibly positive and his flamboyant nature equals the greats of Viv Richards and other calypso characters over the years. He entertained everyone globally and has done it in a statesman-like way. He changed cricketers throughout the world and is a tremendous individual."
It will please Gilchrist to finish his career atop the table of the game's leading Test wicketkeepers, having taken his 414th dismissal during India's first innings. For, he has maintained that his first love was keeping wicket. Gilchrist's singular Test match career has included the second fastest ever Test century (off 57 balls) in history against England in December 2006 in Perth. In all, he has scored over 5000 Test runs including 17 centuries and 26 fifties (at the time of the announcement). His 17 Test centuries is a record among wicketkeeper-batsmen. He has also hit more sixes than any other batsman in Test history, recording his hundredth six during the Test against Sri Lanka in Hobart in late 2007. Gilchrist captained Australia in six Test matches, including leading Australia to an historic series victory in India in 2004, when Ricky Ponting was sidelined by injury.
Gilchrist's record in one-day cricket is equally impressive. A three-time World Cup winner, he passed 50 in every final he played. In April 2007, Gilchrist lit up Kensington Oval in Barbados with 149 from 104 balls in the final. He also holds the ODI dismissal record with 454 dismissals in 277 ODIs (401 caught, 53 stumped).

Great trip, great value through Viator much better price than if I'd booked direct. Everyone should be aware of the fuel surcharge that is payable direct to the tour operator though. I was aware of it as its on the website but I'm sure some people miss it

Can DragonFly's HAMMER Compete With Btrfs, ZFS?
The most common Linux file-systems we talk about at Phoronix are of course Btrfs and EXT4 while the ZFS file-system, which is available on Linux as a FUSE (user-space) module or via a recent kernel module port, gets mentioned a fair amount too. When it comes to the FreeBSD and PC-BSD operating systems, ZFS is looked upon as the superior, next-generation option that is available to BSD users. However, with the DragonFlyBSD operating system there is another option: HAMMER. In this article we are seeing how the performance of this original creation within the DragonFlyBSD project competes with ZFS, UFS, EXT3, EXT4, and Btrfs.

Amazon EC2 Micro: Barely Faster Than A Nokia N900?
In December we published our first set of Amazon EC2 benchmarks for their Elastic Compute Cloud using Ubuntu EC2 and the different instances that were compatible. Now though we are in the process of carrying out a new set of benchmarks from Amazon's cloud that not only contains more tests, but using the official Amazon Linux AMI we tested nearly every instance type. Except what is missing are the results for the "micro" (the t1.micro API name) instance. Why? It is simply too slow and irregular.

The Top Phoronix Stories Of 2010
With 2010 now coming to an end, what were the most popular Phoronix stories this year? For those curious about the most viewed articles and news posts on Phoronix in 2010, here's a list. Exclusive information on Valve's forthcoming Linux Steam client, photographs from my adventure to the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster Site, and multi-OS benchmarks had dominated 2010.

Benchmarks Of The Btrfs Space Cache Option
In early November we delivered benchmarks of EXT4 vs. Btrfs on an early Linux 2.6.37 kernel as our latest round of tests comparing these two leading Linux file-systems. There were some changes in the Linux disk performance with these file-systems using the latest Linux kernel code, but overall it was not too interesting. However, as the Linux 2.6.37 kernel does introduce a new mount option for Btrfs, the space_cache option, we decided to explore its performance in today's article.

Linux Gaming: Native vs. Wine vs. Windows 7 Performance
Linux gaming has a bright future ahead with the forthcoming Unigine games, successful indie campaigns, and many other Linux-native game titles being just out on the horizon. Right now though if you are a dedicated PC gamer looking to satisfy your entertainment appetite under Linux, more than likely you find yourself using the Wine program so that you can run many Windows programs under Linux. What is the performance impact though of using this method? In this article, we have a couple benchmarks comparing the performance of Wine, native Linux game binaries, and the native Microsoft Windows 7 Professional performance.

Linux KVM vs. VirtualBox 4.0 Virtualization Benchmarks
Oracle's been vigorously working on their VM VirtualBox 4.0 software and in just the past week they have delivered two public betas that bring a number of new features. Among the changes there is support for Intel HD audio / ICH9 to guest VMs, the concept of extension packs, user-interface improvements, support for limiting a virtual machine's CPU time and I/O bandwidth, 3D acceleration fixes for guests, and a great number of bug-fixes. How though is this updated Oracle/Sun virtualization platform comparing to the older VirtualBox 3.2 release and that of the upstream Linux KVM (the Kernel-based Virtual Machine) that most Linux distributions rely upon? Here are a number of benchmarks that seek to answer this very question.

Speeding Up The Linux Kernel With Transparent Hugepage Support
Last month we reported on the 200 line Linux kernel patch that does wonders for improving the desktop responsiveness of the system. There was certainly much interest (over 100,000 views to both of our YouTube videos demonstrating the change) but this patch really didn't speed up the system per se but rather improved the desktop interactivity and reduced latency by creating task-groups per TTY so that the processes had more equal access to the CPU. There is though an entirely different patch-set now beginning to generate interest among early adopters that does improve the kernel performance itself in compute and memory intensive applications and it's the Transparent Hugepage Support patch-set. Here are our initial tests of the latest kernel patches that will hopefully be finding their way into the mainline Linux kernel soon.

Ubuntu: Faster, But More Power Hungry Than Mac OS X?
Earlier this week I noted there's new Apple hardware in our labs being used to tighten up our Mac OS X support within the Phoronix Test Suite, OpenBenchmarking.org, Phoromatic, etc. However, in the middle of working on Iveland, I have been carrying out a few Mac OS X benchmarks comparing its performance under the 2010 Apple Mac Book Pro to other operating systems. With the Core i5 notebook being much faster than the past Apple Mac Minis used in comparisons like looking at their enhanced OpenGL stack and benchmarking Mac OS X against Linux and Windows 7, the results are more interesting and there's also a greater variety of testing possibilities now with the recent Phoronix Test Suite advancements. Next week there are some very interesting Apple-related benchmarks to be published, but before the weekend here are a few tests from this Apple Mac Book Pro looking at its power consumption under Mac OS X 10.6.5 and Ubuntu 10.10.

Adobe's Flash Video Acceleration For Linux Works Well
There is the first beta release of the Adobe 10.2 Flash Player now available for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linux platforms that brings a variety of improvements since the Flash Player 10.1 release from earlier this year. For Linux users this Adobe Flash update is quite important since it finally delivers GPU-based video acceleration support via their new Stage Video technology that is now supported on all platforms. Adobe's Stage Video offloads the entire video process to the GPU and in this article are some initial tests illustrating the benefits of this Flash update for Linux users.

GCC & LLVM Clang Performance On The Intel Atom
A few weeks ago there were benchmarks of GCC, LLVM-GCC, DragonEgg, and Clang. In this compiler performance comparison the releases of GCC 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and a 4.6 development snapshot were benchmarked. On the LLVM side there was LLVM-GCC 4.2, DragonEgg with GCC 4.5 and LLVM 2.8, and then Clang with LLVM 2.8. This combination of eight open-source compilers were tested on three distinct Intel and AMD systems (even a 12-thread Core i7 Gulftown), but all of which were 64-bit capable and contained relatively high-end processors from their respective series. To complement this earlier article, available now are some new GCC/LLVM benchmarks but this time an older Intel Atom CPU was used to look at the 32-bit compiler performance on a slower, low-power netbook.

Bad news everyone! Back in 1999 when The Simpsons began a long descent into crapville that it has still yet to surface from, he brought about Futurama. A fresh and clever show set in the future, it was ultimately too smart to remain on television. It's been cancelled before, but it managed to revive itself. Pity that this time, it really is the end for that witty show. Again.
Looks like the days of Geralt are numbered. Having fought King-slayers and all manner of monsters through two games already, it looks like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may be his final adventure. But it's one that developer CD Projekt RED is hoping will end the series on a high note.
There's a strange sensation in the air. A feeling of impending DOOOOM, that lingers in the atmosphere. Australia has gone quiet, and reports are coming in that there are bundles of empty clothing everywhere in Durban. Nah, I'm just screwing with you all. Much like an ANC promise before the elections, the 2012 Apocalypse that so many Kool Aid drinkers spoke about, has failed to materialise. Something that certain games share a common trait with.
There's a new world of gaming just on the horizon. As influential as big budget titles have been over the last decade, it seems that a new field is emerging, one comprised of smaller teams, budgets and crowd-sourcing initiatives. Assassin's Creed 3 is the result of one laborious process however, a three year development that cost millions and had hundreds of staff members working on it, something that creative director Alex Hutchinson refers likens it to being "the last of the dinosaurs".

Mae's Sketchbook
Edit 6 nov 2012: I suspended this thread at the end of 2011, with the intention of starting a brand new one. In the end I just stopped posting here, and always felt a bit sorry for it. I have a lot to catch up, a lot of new material to share, and probably a lot of useful advice and pointers that I have been missing. So I thought I might as well start from where I finished off.
Here: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthr...k-again/page10
Old Presentation:
Hello, my name is Mae, actually usually my work covers all sorts of genres, but I thought that here I would concentrate mainly on my more erotic illustration. I thought it would be nice to start out with sharing some very loose sketches (most of these are done in a couple of minutes..sometimes less), the ones I use to quickly work out what could work and what not, to be taken to a more detailed and complete form. I have plenty of these, so they are in no real order, and I will add on as I go (or as I scan the older stuff). Any comment or feedback welcome, thank you for checking them out!

well, not much to say, I like your more or less stylized work, but my favourite is the first one. I like the face. I hope you will share some more pics where the expression on the face adds much to the sexy body...

thank you...actually that is interesting, I am focusing lately on the action, but you may be right, there is nothing better than an expressive face.
Ah, I just noticed that attachments are preferred, I'll try and edit my post.

@ muzzoid: yes, some things I do are life drawings. Actually one of the best experiences I had was doing a workshop where there was a model who held very dynamic poses just for a few seconds, and one had to capture the essence of her movement or body expression. Anyway in some cases, that's exactly what I try to convey here with the "quicker" sketches.
and as full body goes, here is one from the onryo series.
@ Lateman, Dan Valkar, FightingSeraph : thank you! that certainly encourages me to dig up some more stuff to show here! I certainly will later on...

I love the angular, elegant look of your figures. They remind me of Klimpt, Schiele, people like that. Do you paint/ink/colour any of them to completion? I really like your style, I think they'ld make great paintings.
I wouldn't have said any of them were explicitly erotic - except maybe "pull2". You grab a load of erotic photography and render it into your style. I'm sure that you can find erotic photography on the internet. If you want erotic, I'ld say exaggerate, look for the most humourous direction you can go in and go right to the edge of that humour and stop just short, or else go really explicit, bring it right to the edge of explicitness and the boundaries of taste and stop just short. Eroticism implies a kind of tension, a lean towards excitement that could easily be something else? Or maybe I'm just rambling.
Keep up the good work, I'm subscribing.

Donalfall, you certainly guessed my references, I have always admired the Viennese painters, I used to have both Klimt's and Schiele's posters up in my room. Actually some of the stuff in my sketchbook (the real one, made of paper) I haven't scanned or posted yet are mildly more erotic, so more of that coming soon, but in a way I see what you mean. In fact it's the hardest thing to do, find one's own personal twist on the genre (on any genre). After all eroticism is mostly in the mind (whilst a drawn nipple is just a circle, it's the semantics you assign to the circle). And that's exactly the purpose of this sketchbook, sharing my findings and receiving opinions.
As for fully painted pictures, yes I do take some to that stage. In fact I do lots of quick sketches then choose what go on to the second round.
I'll post now a pic done with markers (tria, tombow etc), in the onryo series.

@ bakatron: thank you! That's exactly what I try to do.
@ Autumnal Dream: well, I'm doing my best to keep it up, which for me is no small feat, I assure you. I hope to find some time in the next days to do some more detailed stuff, but I can't promise anything. Anyway sooner or later I will post some fully "fleshed out" pics. There are loads of older works I could post, but the spirit of this sketchbook is sharing drawings as I go.
@ donalfall: cheers! that's interesting, to see what strikes a chord and what not.
Anyway, today's random stuff
August 11th, 2008 #17
I dig the colored ones, they're more (sometimes totally) finished than the pencil sketches and it gave them some extra power well, there are times when strong and clean lines are needed (the babe with the gun) and pencil sketches have their place too.
edit: well, I'm aware that the praised pic in #12 is really sketchy, it would be even better with cleaner, tidier lines. but it doesn't diminish its values

thank you both shinin and fightingseraph, it's actually quite fun just adding a little bit of colour to the sketches, and it's refreshing doing something by just picking up a marker. It's less precise, you can make a muck of it (but who cares, they are just sketches)
For instance, yesterday I was colouring in this next post of mine out in the garden, and a gust of wind turned the page which hit the tombow in my hand. Ehm, I then tidied it up in photoshop....
back later with more stuff

something different
Thank you Angry Filipino...it's interesting to see how tastes vary from one to another. Anyway I promise I'll put up more erotic stuff, in the meantime I'm posting something different, some of my commercial stuff, as I thought that in someway it had a connection with some of my work on display here. (plus it's more in the "finished" vein, which could be a change)
September 3rd, 2008 #28
she's lovely too she has much charm. she's a Cinderella-like character to me. "it's me... simply beautiful"
I like most of your works, angular or not, agressive or innocent I like variety, though I have my taste too, of course, I'm not digging the most hardcore ones and I prefer nipples and a nice face (I mean the girl is nice, cool or kind)

quick concept art
A couple of concepts for some short stories, I might elaborate on these with more detailed stuff
p.s. thank you shinin for your pointers and opinions!
September 14th, 2008 #30
Another elaboration, but it's still at a very initial stage, I'll probably play around with things, change something, add etc.
The good thing that in the meantime, characters, settings, storylines and general imagery are springing to mind. And references I can look up, both visual and plotwise.

And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
(Genesis 45:7)
The victory of Jesus over sin, death, and the devil wasn't for Himself but for us. He battled on our behalf and gave us the victory; now we've become more than conquerors. That's true success; it's winning for others; helping them achieve and become what God has destined for them to be. Realize that what you make happen for others, the Lord will make happen for you. Win for others.
We find such an example in David, who battled Goliath, not for self-aggrandizement but for the common good of all Israel. When he first heard the giant cursing, he asked a question: "What will be done for the man who defeats the giant?" He was told among other things that he and his house will be free of taxes in Israel. Young as he was, his eyes sparkled at the thought of his entire family being exonerated from tax forever!
Aside from championing the cause for the entire nation of Israel, he was determined to win the battle against Goliath so his entire family would benefit. Thus, his victory was both for his immediate family, and for the entire people of Israel.
Learn to win for others. Don't just make it through life thinking only about yourself. Make your world a better place. Be a problem-solver so others may gain and have a better life through your ingenuity, innovations, and the ideas of the Spirit that come through you. See the challenges around you as opportunities for victory, for indeed they are! Ask the Lord to grant you the knowledge and wisdom to solve problems for yourself and others.
I have the supernatural wisdom and ability to do the impossible, because the Greater One lives in me! I recognize life's challenges as my opportunities to win and make my world a better place. I'm a champion for my generation, and a problem-solver. Through me, lives will be saved, transformed and preserved today, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Keywords: Cottage
We fell in love with Captiva after a short visit to the gulf coast in 1998. We had just build a vacation home in Breckenridge, Colorado but after finding Captiva we decided that we love the warm weather and the beautiful beach more more than the cold. We quickly sold the mountain property and purchased our lovely Life's a Beach cottage located in the heart of the island. We have never regretted buying the cottage and love to spend as much time as possible in Captiva. This island is a wonderful place and the beaches and sunsets magnificent.
We are sure you will fall in love with Captiva and Life's a Beach too.
The Owner purchased this cottage in 1998
Captiva is the most beautiful tropical island in the US.
The one thing all our quests comment on is that they feel like they have left reality and stress behind and truly felt like living in paradise for a while. Leave all your worries on the mainland and enjoy our beautiful island and our relaxing cottage.
My wife and I arrived on Friday and stayed until the following Saturday. We loved the house and location. Any issues that we had, were resolved almost immediately. It's a great location, short distance from the beach and close to restaurants. Being down on Captiva was nice and quiet. Be ready to relax. This has become our new vacation location. The best time of year too was the shoulder season. It was a little warmer, but we had maybe 10 people within 200 yards on the beach during the busy times of days.
We had an absolutely wonderful holiday in Life's A Beach. Couldn't ask for a more relaxing and comfortable environment. Walk to absolutely everything. Gorgeous beach and nice people! We will definitely go back to Captiva and to this property in particular. It was perfect for our family with two mall kids. Thanks for everything!
A great little place within easy walking distance to all the attractions(beach, village store, restaurants). Great outdoor seating areas with plenty of shade. Inside is cozy if you have a lot of people but we made it work with no issues. We love the area and will be back again! A great family location with lots to do.
The Life's a Beach Cottage was absolutely perfect. It was exceptionally clean and made for a very comfortable stay. As with any beach rental, the umbrellas were a bit worse for the wear (we're going to break down and buy an Otentik sun shade - which we saw on the beach there in Captiva!) The televisions / sound could maybe be upgraded but, in a way, it was nice to not have the temptation to stay inside. (Can you tell I'm reaching for things to criticize? It was really wonderful). Our kids loved the hot tub (in the middle of July when it was like a million degrees out - go figure...) and we loved the location within easy walking distance to pretty much everything on the island. Loved it! Thank you!!!
I agree with all that has been said about this house. The outside spaces, both front and back, are wonderful with wooden decks, not just bare ground like many of the similar houses in the village. We had 2 adult couples which suited the house fine. I personally think that the inside living area would be a little tight for 6 unrelated adults, but the large outdoor spaces make up the difference.
It is one of the best equipped rental houses we have stayed in, with great beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and a beach wagon.
The mosquitos and noseeums were almost non-existant which was very surprising for a house with such beautiful lush vegetation. The hot tube was great.
We rented through the realty company without any contact with the owner...everything was as smooth as could be. The washer and dryer are outside under an overhang next to the house, but it is no problem.
Overall a great little house that I recommend wholeheartedly.
We loved Life's a Beach! We are a family of 6 plus a toddler and we were perfectly happy here. The property is very private and lushly planted with native trees and shrubs. We enjoyed the hot tub and the outdoor rooms as well as the cozy cottage. So easy to stroll down to the beach or ride bikes into town. Captiva is a wonderful get away and Life's a Beach is a lovely way to see it.

This stylish semi-flushmount ceiling light is an excellent choice in overhead lighting. The decorative, custom-printed giclee shade features an exclusive pattern. The stem is composed of stacked crystal balls which are complemented by a coordinating finial. Chrome finish canopy and accents add extra visual appeal. Acrylic diffuser ensures warm, even lighting. U.S. Patent # 7,347,593.
I purchased the fixture because of it's simplicity--with just a little bit of glam. Three of us have tried to get it to level, all have failed, so it just looks wobbly. Very disappointed.

Kits for building a 30ft sailboat?
Does anyone know of any kits (comprising fiberglass hulls & decks) for building a 30ft sailboat? I know you can buy plans to build from scratch but such projects need 4 or 5 years of work. For example, an expert like Larry Pardey needed, I believe, 4 years to build Taleisin from the Lyle Hess plans that can still be bought today. Likewise Paul Gartside sells plans for a 30ft cutter said to need 5000 hours to build. I just don't have that amount of time, not to mention the skills. I know that years ago you could for example buy a Westsail 32 in various kit forms. Does anyone know if there are any modern day equivalents? Thank you all.

We all need to do our part to be more eco-friendly, and dogs and cats are no exception! Of course, owners are the ones who make the decisions, but an increasing numbers of pet products on the market promise to be better to – and demand less from – the earth. So, when you're out shopping for your pet, do what you can to pick out environmentally-safe supplies and accessories. As a bonus, most earth-friendly products are also pet-friendly!
· Toys: It's always good to provide your dog with an assortment of toys, both plush and made from other materials, such as rope or rubber. Opt for toys made from recycled or natural materials.
· Beds: Giving your pup a cushy place to lay his head shouldn't cost you your peace of mind. Today, it's easier than ever before to find beds that incorporate material made from recycled products (like old water bottles) or renewable materials like bamboo.
· Scratching stations: Kitties love to dig their claws into something – and you don't want that something to be your furniture. Cardboard cat scratching stations are an eco-friendly way to let your cat have the satisfaction of a good scratch, without sacrificing more valuable home accessories. Or find an option made from recycled materials.
· Toys and catnip: Toys made from natural and recyclable materials are often safer for your pet and better for the environment. To give your cat an extra-appealing treat, choose a toy that can you can stuff (and re-stuff) with catnip. To keep the eco-friendly theme going, choose Sojos 100% Organic Catnip; we make sure it's hand-harvested and carefully dried so that cats get the fullest enjoyment out of it.
For both dogs and cats, grooming supplies also come in eco-friendly versions. Look for biodegradable shampoos and conditioners, as well as other products, like paw salves or ear cleaners.

Try "Harvey Cedars Marina"
I used to work at Todt Sailing Center in Spray Beach (formerly Furie Sailing), but it closed a number of years ago and the land is now part of Spray Beach Yacht Club.
I believe Harvey Cedars Marina (in Harvey Cedars, about 8 mi. north of Beach Haven) rents sailboats.
You won't find anything over 20' in Barnegat Bay -- it's mostly 4 feet deep. Harvey Cedars Marina probably has beach cats, sunfish, and small dinghies. If you go over to "the mainland" (say, Toms River), there may be some other possibilities.
Island Surf & Sail rents windsurfers, wakeboards, and kayaks and gives kiteboarding lessong; I don't think they have sailboats, but they might be able to give you more accurate information than I have.
