Several things to check:
1. Set the radio to disable...no plugin selected in the config.
2. With streetdeck windowed...double check your windows volume levels. See if one is muted and adjust to see if it fixes.
3. Try from a fresh start, there have been issues with standby/resume and the radio.
4. DO NOT ADJUST fader, balance, or channels in streetdeck. This doesnt work on the T3 on the latest versions anymore. I only get front channel when in SD now.
5. You may need a different version of the via audio deck drivers. I used the ones that came off my SD DVD, but I think there is a post with links to them somewhere on this forum.
6. Do you have your cables connected between both head units properly. There is a T3 install guide on the forum. If you dont have the front and rear(labeled "real" on the cables on the harness) then you arent passing the sound from the radio/tv to the main unit properly. I messed this up the first time I hooked it up.
Let me know how it goes...

Middle Row Colin Maynard George Rushton Georgina Lax Grace Evitts Pauline Smith Dorreen Lee Gillian Park

The two photos below were almost certainly taken on the same day the photo above - the top photo shows the fifth form with their form master Mr. Jenkins. The bottom photo shows Mr Hall and Ms. Nancy Wells, the head female teacher, the head boy, Ted Laban, next to Ms. Wells and the head girl, Gail Lawrence, next to Mr Hall. The other pupils I assume are the school prefects. Clicking on the two images will produce only a slightly larger version. I'm hoping that better versions of these two photographs will eventually turn up.
There seems little doubt that the 1957 staff photo shown on the "Members of Staff" page was also taken on the same day as the three photos above - and perhaps so too was the photo shown below. If that is the case there may be other team photographs and perhaps form photographs taken in 1957 yet to show up.

This photograph appeared in the Coventry Evening Telegraph in May 2008 - it shows the school's Cross Country team in 1957 - if you click on to the image you will get a larger version but on its side! Hopefully anyone who want to look at the individuals more closely can print off the larger image. Nearly all the lads shown in the photo, if they are still with us, must now be on a pension !

(The shot appears to be taken at the school's main entrance which pupils, if I recall correctly, rarely past through.)
Some of Copthornes earliest pupils circa 1953. left to right Rodney Peake, Angela Watkins, Glenys Evans, Carol Harrison and Geoffrey Escott (the boy standing behind the girls has not been identified) . It was Carol who supplied this photograph and despite how young looking the group is she is confident they were all then pupils at Copthorne otherwise she would not have known some of them.

She was legally blind.
She could get around okay but people and things were pretty fuzzy. And in June, she came to one of my presentation skills workshops.
I'll be honest. I was wondering how to approach certain skills with her throughout the day. Oh… for example… eye communication!
How do I help her be perceived as more connected with her audience if she can't even see them!?
Through observation, I could tell she was a confident, capable woman. With her permission, we went through the group workshop without holding back. When we were practicing extended eye communication, even if she couldn't focus on her audience's eyes (she couldn't see them), we determined she could keep focused in their direction longer. This enhanced the perception of being more connected with them, which was much better than scattered fleeting eye contact.
She committed 100%. And it paid off.
The longer 'connections' made her look more confident and relaxed.
It was also a group effort. The other workshop attendees would wave their hands after a certain number of seconds to keep her accountable to the more intentional 'conversations' with them.
At the end of the day, I was truly inspired. I couldn't comprehend her challenge. She had courage to come and even more courage to commit to the skills the same as everyone else. And the group responded in support.
Since then I've had two other women with severe disabilities in my workshops. They, too, committed 100% and grew tremendously in their communication skills.
It's not easy.
Some of us may have physical challenges. Some of us may feel insecure and vulnerable every time we step in front of a group of people because of negative comments replaying in our minds from our school days. From harsh teachers or insensitive family. For some of us, it's simply outside our comfort zone.
Whatever it may be, there are no excuses.
After watching her that day, I'm convinced we can all overcome our obstacles, fears, and discomforts.
It might not be easy, but it's possible.
No excuses!

Bosch helps drivers find the perfect parking space
Stuttgart, Germany – The perfect parking space is situated close to where a driver wants to go, offers enough space for their car – and is unoccupied. To find that parking space, however, can be extremely frustrating – especially in urban areas. In Germany, the average search for a suitable free parking space takes ten minutes.

Bosch provides sensors for a range of uses in the automotive and consumer electronics industries. For instance, MEMS sensors measure pressure, acceleration, rotary motion, mass flow, and the earth's magnetic field, and act as the sensory organs for cars or smart phones. Bosch has been producing these sensors for vehicles since 1995. A yaw-rate sensor that records the rotary moments around its vertical axis is at the heart of ESP, for example, and today each modern vehicle is home to up to 50 MEMS sensors.

Al McBean
From BR Bullpen
Alvin O'Neal McBean
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 0", Weight 180 lb.
[edit] Biographical Information
Alvin O'Neal "Al" McBean, the only big-league pitcher from the Virgin Islands, was a good one. His hard sinker and limber, resilient arm made him valuable as a starter and even more as a reliever. Throwing from various arm angles as the spirit moved him, McBean was somewhat reminiscent of Orlando Hernandez, the more recent hurler from Cuba. But what really distinguished the St. Thomas native -- whom Red Schoendienst called "the funniest man I've ever seen in a baseball uniform" -- was his love of playing for the crowd. Al had a name as a flashy, "mod" dresser too.
McBean pitched ten seasons in the majors, mostly with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was a reliever except in 1962 and 1968 when he started most of his games. His best seasons were 1962, when he went 15-10 as a starter; 1963, when he went 13-3 with 11 saves as a reliever; 1964, when he had 22 saves and 1965 when he had 18 saves. In 1967 as a reliever he had a 7-4 record with a 2.54 ERA.
His 22 saves in 1964 were second in the league (only one behind the leader).
He was in the minors from 1958-61 and again in 1970-71. Doing some starting and some relieving, his minor league record was 41-30. In his last minor league season, one in which he went 10-6 for Eugene, the 20-year-old Greg Luzinski was a teammate.
His cousin Victor McBean also played professionally.

At least the sun was out Friday afternoon despite the lingering winter-like weather conditions and temperatures still hovering below 40.
Livonia Ladywood and host Livonia Churchill, however, were able to launch their 2013 girls soccer season on time.
And it was Ladywood that was basking in the sun following a 2-1 victory over the Chargers as junior Jenna Urso tallied the game-winning goal with only 13:54 remaining off an assist from fellow junior Abigail Pelon. ...

It was an emotional episode of Dancing With The Stars…mainly for Jaleel White, but it was emotional week for him overall. I mean, with all the pressure of having to dance a Rumba, it's no wonder he blew up at his dance partner, Kym Johnson, after stepping on her foot. And here, in the true spirit of dance, he ended his interview with a dip, as he inadvertently admitted to having idolized himself as a child.
He may have conducted himself like Stefan Urquelle on the dance floor, yet reporters say after he flipped out at Kym, he shrugged, pushed a pair of glasses up the ridge of his nose, and said, "Did I do that?" And just for the record, Mickey Mouse would never raise his voice at a woman...well, for obvious reasons.

We're about to lose one major character and a supporting player this March on HBO's fantastic third season of Big Love. While we don't have a direct answer for you, Michael Ausiello dropped some very good hints in his blog and in his latest spoiler column.
According to Ausiello, he gave the following odds on which major character is dying:
- Nicki: 16%
- Frank: 22%
- Lois: 11%
- Sarah: 17%
- Roman: 13%
- Alby: 9%
- Ana: 3%
- Wanda: 9%
Now, although we got no hints on who the supporting character will be, Ausiello also told us that one of the characters that dies is a man and the other is a woman. Detectives, begin your work.
As for the less morbid Big Love spoilers, Sarah's baby daddy, Scott (Aaron Paul) returns on March 15 and Margene stars her own business selling braclets.
Margene has a 0% chance of dying and a 100% chance of getting her own business!

Department of Energy's FLEXLAB Opens Testbeds to Drive Dramatic Increase in Building Efficiency
Flexible design building will test low-energy systems and components
News Source : Department of Energy's FLEXLAB Opens Testbeds to Drive Dramatic Increase in Building Efficiency
July 10, 2014 – The world's most advanced energy efficiency test bed for buildings is open for business, launched today by U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary Daniel Poneman. DOE's FLEXLAB at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is already signing up companies determined to reduce their energy use by testing and deploying the most energy efficient technologies as integrated systems under real-world conditions. The facility includes a rotating test bed to track and test sun exposure impacts, and other high-tech features.
In addition to Deputy Secretary Poneman, University of California President Janet Napolitano, Genentech Vice President Carla Boragno, Webcor CEO Jes Pederson, and PG&E Vice President Laurie Giammona joined event host Berkeley Lab Director Paul Alivisatos to speak about the power and potential of this facility to help California, the nation and the world reduce energy use, curb greenhouse gas emissions and save money.
"In the United States, nearly 40 percent of all energy and over two-thirds of all electricity consumed goes to operate commercial, industrial and residential buildings," said Deputy Secretary Daniel Poneman. "To power these buildings, Americans spend more than $400 billion every year. By making buildings more energy efficient, we can save money by saving energy and drive the nation to our low-carbon future."
"So far, Berkeley Lab's energy efficiency work has saved American families, businesses, and institutions many billions of dollars in energy bills. If all goes as planned, FLEXLAB – the first of its kind test bed designed to enable much more aggressive whole building energy savings – will add to that impressive tab," said Berkeley Lab Director Paul Alivisatos
"Berkeley Lab is already a global leader in smart-building innovations that are helping our nation cut greenhouse gas emissions," said Napolitano, president of the University of California, which manages Berkeley Lab for the U.S. Department of Energy. "FLEXLAB will allow us to cut building emissions even further, and lessons learned here will be instrumental in helping UC reach its carbon neutrality goal by 2025."
In the first test bed experiment, leading biotech company Genentech is leveraging FLEXLAB to test systems for a new building at their South San Francisco headquarters.
"At Genentech, we are constantly innovating and following the science, so we were excited to apply this approach to energy efficiency and building optimization," said Carla Boragno, Genentech Vice President for Site Services. "FLEXLAB represents a new type of experiment for us, and presents the opportunity to be first-in-class in another area of innovation. We are proud to be the leading client of FLEXLAB."
PG&E is next in line to use the facility to test the next generation of technologies – those that focus on whole building systems – for emerging technologies incentive programs.
PG&E is working with an advisory committee to identify system-scale efficiency improvements that make best sense for most businesses. It is testing alternatives in FLEXLAB, starting with innovations in building envelopes, lighting and shading.
"Compared to the usual 'widget' approach of offering incentives for single pieces of equipment, utilities are finding the next generation of energy efficiency technology – which includes single or multiple integrated building systems – is an order of magnitude more complex. FLEXLAB will help them get a handle on this," said FLEXLAB Executive Manager Cindy Regnier. "And that opens the door to new and renovated buildings that are dramatically more energy efficient."
FLEXLAB allows users to mock up facilities, such as this interior by Webcor for biotech firm, Genentech.
That's what Bay Area-based builder Webcor – Genentech's contractor – hopes to find. In FLEXLAB's pre-launch private-sector experiment, Webcor is using the rotating test bed to plan a 250,000-square-foot building, which includes a built-out space that mimics Genentech's interior office space and will test for user comfort and utility.
"We are running tests and gathering data that will allow us to maximize the Genentech building's energy-efficiency potential," said Webcor CEO Jes Pederson. "FLEXLAB could revolutionize the way we plan and build energy-efficient buildings."
Recognizing that building inefficiency is a critical obstacle to achieving U.S. clean energy and emissions goals, DOE issued a Request for Proposal in 2009 for a new kind of testing facility to address the challenges buildings face in achieving deeper levels of energy savings. Many buildings are designed to be energy efficient, but once they are up and running, can use a lot more energy than planned. To close that achievement gap and accelerate breakthrough technologies, Berkeley Lab competed and won the $15.9 million contract to build FLEXLAB, a testament to the Lab's long history of energy efficiency innovations.
FLEXLAB is a testing ground for developing new, energy-efficient and low-carbon building technologies. Berkeley Lab and its utility and private sector partners will identify, test and measure technologies of the future that will help California and the world move to a cleaner, more efficient energy future.
Opening day featured a series of panel discussions focused on energy efficiency from a business perspective. Speakers represented companies including Microsoft, Siemens, Oracle, Wells Fargo, Colliers International, and Schneider Electric.

What is the general feeling on this?
For me, I used to be 100% against it, but that was several years ago. Have times changed? *I* know that my two Britax carseats have never been in an accident, or had any other damage to them. But I'm nervous about just handing them off to a stranger.

I liked the show and the first movie was sentimental but I was never really on board for the second movie; it seemed rather pointless. After it came out and I heard the reviews I was even less excited, so I certainly won't be wasting money to own it.

I'm with postmodernsleaze...I actually didn't even watch it because of the gross overconsumerism. It was Roger Ebert's review that sealed the deal for me. I wish the movies had been more like the show.

I'm usually all for fantasy and escapism when it comes to movies, but this one was just downright insulting considering the state of the economy. I was shaking my head in the theater the whole time I was watching it. Especially when they were running around at the end freaking out about being bumped down to coach if they didn't hurry up and get to the airport. Please. This movie just kind of pissed me off. And I don't usually take things too seriously, especially when it comes to movies. With this one, I did take the ridiculousness seriously.

does anybody know a gba emulator that works on v2.6? your help will be greatly appreciated.
For 2.6 emulators/homebrew you'll have to experiment with the GTA EBOOT Loader v0.9.6. It includes some compatibility lists, so check them out... most of us here have v1.50 though, so I'm not sure how much feedback on 2.6 stuff you'll get here.
annoyed with homer's uoRIN.. it works great it's just everytime I go to the menu the sound turn off on the rom I'm playing for the rest of the time, how would I fix this?

Preparing for Prison
Review of the business and emotional trauma of planning to be absent for a time.
Preparing for Prison
Life can bring unexpected events in our lives. Death of a family member or loved one, divorce, losing a job, illness and yes, being convicted of a crime and sent to prison for incarceration.
Felony convictions and prison incarceration has skyrocketed in the United States where each year a record number of convictions are recorded along with a record number of people being sent to prison. The 'ol USA, the leader of the free world is sending more people to prison than China, Russia or any other nation in the world. Certainly, as convictions and prison sentences are skyrocketing, so is the number of innocent people being wrongly convicted and sent to prison. Some statistics report as many as twenty two percent (22%) are innocently serving time in prisons.
Preparation for prison, innocent or guilty, requires long range planning and trying to account for all of the "what ifs" which can occur in the years of sitting in a prison cell. Trying to prepare for things which happen next month is harder enough but preparing for events four, ten or fifteen years for now is mind boggling. Single or married, children or no children, such preparation will test the limits of one's sanity. People make many arrangements for a two week vacation so arranging a life where you will not be part of is truly numbing.
Fortunately, with the number of people being imprisoned, the number of advisers, consultants and the like are entering the business methodology to assist in such difficult matters. Many ex-offenders who were white collar convictions have seen the need to provide a service for this aspect of our society. Nothing better than to utilize someone who has literally, been there and done that!
Things such as making a will or updating a will, long term rentals of storage buildings for possessions, finding power of attorneys for bank accounts or to represent you in legal matters or even with the Internal Revenue Service. Yes, the taxman wants his cut if you have any income, family or otherwise continuing. Also, documents designating medical instructions such as Advanced Healthcare Directives, emergency notification documents and ownership documents. One must plan for divorce or death of a spouse, if married, as these documents, notifications and the like will all change after a "what if" does indeed occur. Sitting in a prison cell with absolutely no ability to change or do anything is a frightening and stressful situation. It is truly an example of life going on.
Preparations such as a will or renting a storage building is a snap compared to planning for the endless amount of "what ifs". More likely than not, appeals will be underway, lawyers trying to help but requiring to be paid, kids becoming ill, spouse leaving or dying, and on and on. All of this while you are trying to adjust to remaining alive and well in the most dangerous environment known to our society. Fears of being attacked or getting sick or the numerous things which can happen inside prison is just as demanding as your life on the outside you are trying to return.
Needless to say, thinking and keeping yourself safe is the top priority but pursuing a plan to insure you stay fit so something as mundane as your pre-prison clothes fitting upon your release since you will be broke or making up the time lost to your spouse or kids will occupy the mind as well. Missing those Christmases, plays, ballgames, life's first events for your children, graduations and the like will certainly seem as important as staying alive.
Guilty or innocent, single or married, kids or no kids, preparation for going to prison consists of the many business matters and "what ifs" but also consists of the ever present emotional planning for loved ones and their lives which will go on. Luckily, there are services or people who can help you with both the business or emotional planning for a life behind bars.

Threat abatement plan for predation, habitat degradation, competition and disease transmission by feral pigs
Threat abatement plan
This plan ceased on 1 October 2015, and may soon be replaced by a revised plan.
About the plan
The Threat abatement plan for the predation, habitat degradation, competition and disease transmission by feral pigs sets out a national framework to guide coordinated actions to contain the spread of this threatening process and manage the impact on threatened species and ecological communities as listed under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
The plan recognises that feral pigs are but one of a number of other factors that can impact on nationally listed threatened species and ecological communities. Successful management of the environmental threat due to feral pigs requires an integrated approach that also addresses a range of threatening processes and other sustainability issues associated with land management practices.
Feral pigs are common and widely distributed over large expanses of Australia. While their environmental impact is not well quantified, they appear to threaten the long-term survival of a number of species of native plants and animals across Australia. Their impacts may be direct through predation of native animals or consumption of native plants or less direct; for example they have been implicated in the spread of the root-rot fungus Phytophthora cinnamomi.
Eradication, that is the permanent removal of every last pig, with currently available technology, is not possible except on islands and in some local areas. Consequently, management needs to aim for sustainable control of the damage caused by feral pigs, based on current or realistically predicted levels of resources. Knowledge about the biology of pigs, their impact, distribution, social and economic consequences, regulatory controls, management techniques and strategies and research need to be considered.
The plan recognises that community perceptions of feral pigs vary. Feral pigs are viewed as an agricultural pest, an environmental pest, an animal of cultural value, a food resource, a commercial resource, an endemic and exotic disease hazard and a recreational hunting resource. The Plan acknowledges this range of perceptions, and particularly the significant agricultural impacts of pigs. While the actions in the plan will contribute to addressing agricultural impacts, the plan does not set out to be comprehensive in that regard, as the reason for the plan is primarily to abate environmental impacts, in compliance with the EPBC Act. Some of the methods used to control feral pigs also raise animal welfare concerns. While the depth of concern and the range of groups with an interest will vary, a local or regional feral pig management plan is unlikely to be successful unless the full range of interests and concerns are identified and the relevant groups and individuals are fully consulted.
In most cases, managing feral pigs to control their impacts on biodiversity cannot be confined to conservation areas. Consequently, agricultural producers and other key groups and individuals will need to be involved for the successful development, implementation and monitoring of any management plan.
Five main objectives are proposed to manage the threat by feral pigs:
- to prevent feral pigs from establishing in areas where they currently do not occur or are in low eradicable numbers, and where they are likely to pose a threat to biodiversity; especially where they would impact on nationally listed threatened species and ecological communities
- to integrate feral pig management plans and their implementation into natural resource planning and investment at the regional, state and territory, and national level through consultation and liaison with key stakeholders
- to increase awareness and understanding of land managers and the general community about the damage that feral pigs cause and management options
- to quantify the impacts feral pigs have on biodiversity (especially nationally listed threatened species and ecological communities) and determine the relationship between feral pig density and the level of damage
- to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and humaneness of techniques and strategies for managing the environmental damage due to feral pigs.
It is recommended that, where feasible, an adaptive management approach be adopted for managing feral pigs. The aim is to increase knowledge about the responses of ecosystems and take into account people's attitudes, and consequently, to progressively improve management programs. Critical elements of this approach are stakeholder consultation, models of how control activities and ecosystems interact, experimental design, monitoring of results, and ongoing review as understanding grows.
Review status
The Minister noted a review of the feral pig threat abatement plan on 14 March 2012. He agreed that the feral pig threat abatement plan not be revised or amended and that a threat abatement advice be developed on the abatement of predation, habitat degradation, competition and disease transmission by feral pigs. A draft threat abatement advice was considered at Threatened Species Scientific Committee meeting in June 2013 and will progress to the Minister for approval.

When I went in to see Marylin K. Jones I didn't have the highest expectations to say the least. I was hesitant to believe that any dentist could fix my teeth with the long time abuse they have taken. Never the less I gave her a chance and she knocked all my expectations out of the park. I can smile with pride again, something I haven't been able to do for a long time.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
I have been a long time patient with Dr. Jones and thought it might be time to share my experiences with any potential patients.

My cousin recommended Dr. Jones to me and let me just say I am very impressed. The waiting room was very clean and organized which, based on my experiences with previous dentists in the area, was a breath of fresh air.

When I had broken my front tooth, I was so embarrassed. I needed to be seen quickly. Due to many wonderful reviews for Marilyn Jones, I set up an appointment at her office. They were able to see me quickly and I liked that. It wasn't long before my broken tooth was fixed and I was fitted with a porcelain veneer.

nice values on those eyes! great pencil rendering!
Some Sketchbooks you should check out! --->
(expect this list to change alot)
Oh my god. What have I done...?
You know I was surprised pretty much myself It would be oh so easy if I always would be that motivated. And that was a "not consensual collaboration" where you did the much bigger part. My strokes changed it a lot but they seemed so minimal when I turned off the base layer... And a black canvas doesn't motivate me near as much as your drawing did... the start is the hardest for me and now I skipped that part
It was among my first attempts using a pressure sensitive big hard brush intensively. And it had a deep impact on me.
I wish I could draw like that any time but something changed inside me. And now I totally want to draw portraits - even more than before!
Hm... Profile sheets use side and front view, for portraits 3/4 view is better. But of course, it would be boring (and harder) to use it every time. that wasn't my critic, just I think you shouldn't have criticized devastatio's _anatomy study_ because it was in front view. But too many words were written regarding this little thing already.
It's a nice idea as well, please put some nice piercing on it if you deciden on that option Nice = what fits him and your taste. It doesn't necessarily to be a totally modest oneor just let his lower half to be naked, with his hairy king-kong.
Do you mean the package without any information about the sender - who was able to squeeze a tiny but pretty deep red rose bud with impressive surviving skills into it? I knew it was you. You really needn't to try so hard, I will be around forever, or at least till you keep this thread alive. I'm a hedonist who tend to do things that are good for her, that's why.Did you get the beer that I have mailed to you?
Nice eyes. With your usual messy render (I mean you have no normal hatching technique - I don't have it either, I usually shade with not sharp pencil, it's so much quicker though not necessarily better but I'm a lazy one
But you have some nice details even it's not so totally clear.
And you should watch your irises, they have to be round in front view and even a slight deformation looks odd.
You tend to draw irises too big... and a "double pupil". The whole pupil should be black.
Oh and the light part of the iris is in the opposite of the highlight spot.

wow plissken. those eye studies are exquisite :3 you really did a good job on the values and your method of crosshatching brought out the form quite well

You favor a tonal way of drawing. You should do some sketching at twilight, trees against the sky or buildings against the sky. It'll teach you about silohuette, how to make your whites look like an expanse of light, and how to make your darks come forward or recede, and many other wonders.

study's are good!
That wolf eye looks amazing .....i have strange felling that someone watching me
Plissken you're my hero!
Hey plissk, good to see you still at this, though how you get anything done with all this writing is beyond me.
I would have you do more studies though. Pointed studies to get a better grip on lighting and anatomy
Thank you very much. Glad that you like the drawing and the painting.
Thank you for your detailed review of my pencil eye drawings. When I did
these studies, one simple thing happened, I shut my mind off, I was just purely
eyeballing and copying those drawings from the book. I was absolutely not
thinking about anything, nor the shadows, nor the iris or the pupil, so I guess
that explains in short so much mistakes. The pupils should be absolutely in
the center, now I know that for sure. Wrong placement of the eyebrows, I also
get that. Contrast, I could do more of that, but I was already putting to much
pressure on my poor pencils, so I guess I just could not go more darker with
the pupils. Bottom line, I have learned a thing or two about eyes, while doing
these drawings. Thanks to you and your help I got even more out of those studies,
than I was hoping for.
So your weak spot is starting the painting, laying down the basics, but you are
doing fine after painting the details in. We will find some solution for your problem, for
example, I will do the igniting sketches and paintings and you will be doing the
finishing steps on them. We will work in synergy. I have no idea what is a pressure
sensitive brush, cause I just grab what I got and I paint. I never liked to play with
the pressure sensitivity, plus I think that my poor cheap pen does not support some
pressure sensitivity settings. Well anyway, I am glad that I have motivated you to do
some portraits your self.
Hatching technique? huh I forgot about that. I was just working purely instinctively.
Those eye drawings were totally not detailed but I am glad if you like them. You and
Bethany analyzed those drawing perfectly, so I guess that I can say that those drawings
went through the sushi machine. Light part of the iris is on the opposite of the highlight
spot will try to remember that.
Thank you for helping me all the time to get better.
Yes, the beer and the flower was from me, I am happy that you like the present.
You think that they are exquisite? wiiii, I am happy. Thank you.
Hello and welcome. I am honored for such an experienced member to post on
my drawings. To make my whites look like an expanse of light I do not really
understand that but I will try to do some sketches of trees and buildings against the
sky, that is if I will have the chance for that. Does that have to be a live study, or
I can do a photo study?
Thank you very much for your support and for viewing my drawings and paintings.
Glad that you like them budy. Thank you.
Gore, violence and sex has been delayed a bit. Not cancelled, just delayed.
Thank you for your support.
Michael Jackson also had a strange feeling that someone was watching him.
And look what happened to him now....
Hello, thanks, you just make my motivation to grow.
Hello, I am so glad to see you again, help of a such great artist as you are
will surely help me much in my improvements.
Well, I just watched the people around me, here where I live and I saw that they
are spending a tremendous amount of time on facebook and some chatting systems,
so I am, instead of doing those things I am using that time for concepart, to write
messages and to draw or digital paint. I also quitted playing any games lately.
My full concentration is on art. Day and night I am thinking about my drawings
and about my ideas that I have in my head.
Thank you very much for your visit. If you would have some time, you could
give me some specific tutorials or paintings to do?
Thank you everyone for supporting me.

Wow, the new portrait is much better than the previous one, I so totally don't feel the "let's show the boy how one should do that" urge so I won't overpaint this one (if anyone read and happened not to get it: I know my face drawing skills are just starting to bloom ) The neck seems to be a bit thin/undecided though.
Smoke and fire! I love smoke and fire... I can't draw them either Tricky elements. I can imagine your suffer, I experienced something similar when I wished to draw some mammatus clouds for you for some reason.
I'm sure one need bigger brushes, scratches aren't smokey, but it's just one little thing... I will try to draw something like this soon. Or lava. I love lava.
{oh the almost forgotten lost souls... I totally keep my promises, I'm just... slow. And new ideas attract me more. And fire is tricky. But they will come when you don't even dare to hope in them.}
No boob? I should draw some then.

Wait Plissken!
This isnt a damned brush!
This brushe achives everything you need to get one of the great masters of the univers!
Ok, no joking now.
I really suggest to just try out different brush settings, like ONLY opacity to pen pressure, only brush size, ...
This already makes this "boring" brush to a naked dancing lady!
Your heads and portrait is looking really good. There is great improvement over the time.
Four your portrait i would suggest to make a different dark in the background because the hairs are having the same color as the background and thats really a shame!
Keep it up my friend!
PS: Look at my sketchbook icon! I just made one of these imba animated super dupa ones! ;D

Hey there,
I missed one update yeah? so ill reply to them both, in this post. I took a good break and now back for more arts.
Update # 778:
if this is the case : Dont play Dead Space it sucks! i was wrong! *evil grin* i would rather play 'super mario' or 'minesweeper'. Now go draw some good stuff, its much better. :pI will most probably try out Dead Space , but there will be no
updates from me for about a month or even more.
About the eyes; Bethany did a superb review and theres nothing much for me to add here. as she mentioned; be really careful with the size and the position of the pupil. Also, you need some details to the Iris to make it believable. Problem with drawing eyes is, you need to shade them properly to make it look believable. My suggestion to you is buy some fashion/hairstyle mags as they have lots loads of references. I did my eye study using an old hairstyle mag. it really helps to keep all the tiny details in your mind and apply it to your drawing from imagination.
About the wolf eye painting; I think you nailed most of the tiny details here mate. My only addition would be to make some strong highlights on the rim of the bottom eyelid. but this is a proper good job mate!
Anyways, thanks for mentioning the books mate. will try to get them later when i get to painting.
Update # 789:
Now this is a superb update. I see you started drawing some interesting heads.Nice expressions and variety too. only thing you need to do is be more careful with the proportions. this youll be able to do with more and more practice. i think you have seen enough in my sb; man! those wonky faces!
but you are ding way better than me so be proud. This doesn't mean you can sit on your a*s and do nothing for a week. so just keep coming my friend
The imaginary armor pieces; i always enjoy these stuff so heres a *high five* from me. the extreme perspectives are super cool. you usually do them really well. my only suggestion here would be to use more contrast between dark/light because most of these stuff are made out of metal.
The digital painting from the movie 'Spider'; great job here. way way better than the last time. His left jaw(small portion of the neck too) is swelled. looks like he got a small punch from Mel Gibson. but its a very small thing. probably unnoticeable. keep doing these. you'll do better with each new one you do.
About the smoke painting;
WRONG WRONG! its looks damn cool to me. well most of the artists dont want to see realistic smoke( or other atmospheric effects) in digital paintings. if we want to see such realistic stuff we could take a good look at a real photo yeah? we would like to see something artistic, and i think you did it well, at least for a start. i know nothing about digital painting but, I think what you are lacking here is some crispy strokes. Anyways i have seen artists painting smoke effects just with the default brushes. just dont forget to change the brush settings and add more sharp details too. ill try to find some good tutorials for this. ill be making and update today and ill pass my findings across to you, at that time.Damn smoke ruined my evening, tried to use only the
default brush, totally went wrong, I
just cannot achieve the effect that I desired
with this f*cking worthless brush
Well, overall, great update. This is what i would like to see and makes me happy. So let me buy a drink for you.

there is gigantic difference between your penicl and digital stuff. this old lady looks great! She merges a bit with the background. Thats ok when you whant to put specific element out of focus, but in this case she should popup form the background. Somke stuff looks ok, exept the fire, I thing that this fire is burning at too high a pressure? It looks a bit like a flame that you see in a gas cooker. It seems to me that at this point of combustion, tongues of fire should have a more organic shape. Anyways you are doing great work with those updates, keep posting I try not to miss any more , cheers
I've been passing by your sketchbook over and over for the last couple of days and trying to think of something to say that hasn't been said over and over already. So...
The thing that strikes me about your artwork (and yourself for that matter) is that you are sincere. Passionate too, but sincere in what you draw. The emotion imbedded in all of your work is real, although it might not have a purpose all the time, and that is downright exciting. I'm not really sure what purpose telling you that has, but its a feeling I get everytime I visit.
You're making tracks my dear. Keep hiking.
Mister Snake , that portrait is very good , u made character and strong emotion ,and maybe some movement, i like it too much ...other pencils is good and in your style ,and yeah someone said no gore , no blood, no sex ...u are changing style or u are in "red" period
Hey Plissken, stopping by to make sure you're doing well. For whatever reason my subscription thing in my control panel didn't inform me of your last update, so I didn't know you were still updating. I'll have to check that out!
Painting with the default brush is probably the best way to get better at painting, though. When painting in photoshop that's really the only brush that I can use (often with shape dynamics jacked up for size, also). Don't focus on rushing through your painting, but layer your shapes opaquely. Big shapes to little shapes, general to specific, etc. etc. The more solid shapes you get into your painting before blending the more form you'll build (SOLID SHAPES YEAH!). I know you probably know all of this, but once again- the reminder is for both of us. Fucking love the learning experience man, keep killing it.
I'm looking to collaborate with some people on something, if you're interested in doing sketch exchanges or something please hit me up. We could create worlds!

Holy shit, It's been some time since I posted here; and I have to admit that you have made a lot of improvement all this time. That breast study from last year was both tragic and titillating; and that jab at facebook kinda reminds me of some of Ralph Bakshi's movies, and some early Newgrounds cartoons (Namely Goldilocks by Em Kaah).

Your getting some amazing advice in here man, and well deserved too, I've seen you giving a lot to this community lately.
Digitalis are getting so much better, but careful to watch your edges tho, sometimes there are to many soft edges, so some contrast would help define form.
So pleased to see the traditional sketches too, keep those coming!
Cheers bro,

i like that right smoke a bit more.. tho it can use some softer edges on the hard highlights.
its like the clouds im painting now with oils.. they totally new for me. just look at some good refference photos'.. study them.. look at them.. become them.. taste them.. eat them.. smell them.. have sex with it..
its not something u will master fast or directly.. just make more of them with the same brush and u will see u will progress fast and eventually master them.. just behold u patience.. and have sex with clouds!! that would do the thrik..
Cheers for the Post Rob.
very nice updates indeed.
Good work on that last portrait of still spider. She looks very old and worried about death to me.
The armor designs are motivating. And I would say more, but i dont want to swallow your time. Because I am pretty good at swallowing. wait...
my subconscious does not stop begging my conscious to draw.
hmm does that mean im a slave to my subconscious?
at least it doesnt beg for crack. ha.
Big improvement on this post! Just make sure that all of the planes/angles of the face match up

cool update! i like the armor sketches a lot.
as for the fire, default brush can be a bitch i guess... adjusting the flow and opacity helps a bit but not that much i guess. I think the image is missing some more orange / more light since the heart of the fire seems pretty intense with all the white yet the surroundings are rather dim.
keep it up and get that new update out soon!

and as for the smoke, just try doing a photo study
of smoke I guess; it's hard to make smoke right at first but
just keep practicing and you'll have it down in no time.
Nice variety of heads; just keep practicing with planes, eyes, noses, etc.

Great studies! That black and white portrait looks great, so does the smoke. I never really tried doing detailed smoke, but after this I think I should! Keep up the fine work!
The closest I've come to painting a large amount of smoke like that was clouds... and that was such a huge challenge. Smoke has a different.. soul to it, I guess. Often more sinister of feeling to it than the fluffy happiness of the clouds I painted. Quite a challenge, so I'd love to see any future approaches to painting smoke if you decide to keep pursuing it :]

Nicholls St. beats Texas-Arlington 79-77
THIBODAUX, La. (AP)—Anatoly Bose scored 27 points, including going 6-for-10 from beyond the arc, to help Nicholls State hold off Texas-Arlington 79-77 on Wednesday night.
The Mavericks pulled to within 73-69 on Marquez Haynes' layup with 48 seconds left in the game, but Bose hit 3 of 4 free throws to seal the game for the Colonels (18-10, 11-4 Southland Conference).
Ryan Bathie added 20 points and Fred Hunter had 10 for the Colonels, who maintained second place in the conference with one game remaining against Lamar on Saturday. The Colonels are riding a three-game winning streak.
Anthony Vereen paced the Mavericks (16-12, 9-6) with 22 points, Haynes added 18 and Brandon Long finished with 13.
The Mavericks blew a six-point halftime lead, as the Colonels opened the second with a 22-8 run to take a 53-45 lead with 8:13 remaining.

Texas Tech Red Raiders
Photos: Five burning questions for the Texas Tech Red Raiders' 2012 season
Photo: Dave Einsel/AP
Question: Can Texas Tech's Eric Stephens break the 1,000 yard mark? / Why it's important: If Stephens is going to break the 1,000-yard barrier that no Red Raider running back has been able to in more than a decade it's going to come this year right after a very positive rehabilitation from an ACL tear. This is a money year for Stephens. If he plays, Stephens will exhaust his NCAA eligibility at the end of this season and go to the NFL Draft so the coaching staff and the running back would be smart to elect to go for a redshirt season if the running back is not 100 percent.

Children or Husband first?
It depends based on the situation, and the age of the children and whether or not immediate needs are being factored into the discussion.
Pose a scenario?
~ Dee
LCMS Pastor's Wife and Mom to my Half Dozen
'03, '05, '06, '08, '10, '11
"Jesus didn't mean for us to be decaffeinated." - Donnabelle
The bible says Marriage (Husband) right after God. Then the children. Though my husband knows if there's a speeding train coming for the family, I'm going to push my babies out of the way first.
Husband first. But, once we became parents part of his needs are making sure his children are taken care of and vice versa--so in an instant where I have to choose between meeting a want of his and a need of the childrens, the needs come first. If they both have needs--then DH and I would discuss what decision to make.
To elaborate now that I have a minute:
There is no such verse in Holy Scripture.
However, Holy Scripture does tell us we are one with our spouse. Logically, when an immediate need is not present with the children, we should put our other half first, even above our own wants. Immediate needs are a different story, so there is no "cut and dried" answer here. I think it is very easy to over-simplify this statement, when in reality there are a whole lot of different scenarios that play out in our lives and different levels of wants and needs for spouse and children. Every day, we have to weigh those wants, prioritize true needs, and act in love always seeing to honor God in our family and marriage.

"Jesus didn't mean for us to be decaffeinated." - Donnabelle
This is what gotquestions says
I think you have to learn to balance. You have to make strong relationships with everyone in the family and make sure they all know they are a priority. Sometimes that has to be more conscious than others.
It is sometimes hard--it is sometimes easy, but hopefully the marriage is strong enough that it cane be discussed.
I honestly can't think of a time where I felt like I had to choose DH or my kids
Well put, Dee.

Urge for Going written by Joni Mitchell, sung by Tom Rush.
I suffer from this urge every September. The autumn is my favourite time to travel.ReplyDelete
So, do you act on it or stay home, Pamela?ReplyDelete
Love the photo of those birds and the song, Nan. We often get that urge, too.ReplyDelete
Not sure if I'd ever want to leave Hawaii, Kay!ReplyDelete
Hello from a big Tom Rush fan! I've been following him since he performed years ago in Harvard Sq. He's still got it! His current shows are so funny and wonderful. "Urge for Going" still brings wanderlust to my soul and tears to my eyes.
I saw the largest goose formation the other day when we visiting our youngest for family weekend at college. Had never seen anything so large.
The book that you recommended by Sarah Stewart - The Gardner - was very good and is on my list as a must read for my class.
Cape Cod Kitty, thank you so much for writing. I'm kicking myself because I didn't go to a local show a while back. :<(
Jodi, Gosh, I think it is The Library that I reviewed. I own The Gardener and have meant to write about it. They are both wonderful books.
Now that I am a grandmother, it seems that I am often late in replying to your most-appreciated comments. But I read them as soon as they come in, and I will write as soon as I can. Please do come back and check. I love these blogging conversations. A little addendum - I've just spent quite a long time catching up with dear notes you left me months ago!! I do hope you can get back to read them. And I'm trying to be much more prompt now!
Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
