Toastedguy was also originally known as toastedsub back in the early GGPO days. He was a ever-present and charismatic member of the GGPO community. The peak of his presence on GGPO was around 2008 to 2010. He caught so much attention that it led many people on GGPO to make nicknames such as "mexican toastedsub", "korean toastedsub" and "australian toastedsub".
In terms of skill, toastedsub has grown to become a very formidable player. He is described by Asian Assault as "...a nice guy at heart that likes to help people. If one asks him for help or advice he will help and even take you into a game and teach you things." He said to have notably had a character crisis for the last 10 years, most recently settling on using Yun and Ibuki. His signature move is that he is almost never sober.
Toastedsub also created a guide for reducing lag while playing on GGPO/Fightcade, which is available on this link here.

Ile de Ré Reflections: Beehives in the salt marsh.
I heard Australia has a new Prime Minister. Plus ça change...ReplyDelete
chm: yes, the whole election has been to depressing to comment on. In a way I'm glad I can't vote in Australia -- the choice was appalling. Abbott is pro-mining, pro-guns, anti-immigration and anti-abortion, but the Labour party has just done one of its periodic and traditional implosions. I suspect if Julia had been more prompt about going to the polls it wouldn't have happened. At least the senate is likely to be stroppy, but that will just stave off the worst in the most disruptive way.ReplyDelete
That was my impression!ReplyDelete
Have you lost your voting rights too?ReplyDelete
Fraussie: yes, years ago. I think the limit is 5 years. Once you are away from Australia more than that you lose the right to vote.ReplyDelete

Info for Near and Now
A rare gift," is how the Daily Telegraph describes the artistry that Gwilym Simcock brings to playing solo piano. "I have always enjoyed the challenge to make sure that a piece of music has a nice arc to it," says Simcock. "It should take you on a journey whether it is composed or improvised." The outstanding individuality of his playing is what led to him to become a member of the great Pat Metheny's quartet and to tour extensively with it. It is no coincidence that "Near and Now" seems so close up and personal: "Many albums are written at home and then recorded out 'on the road', but I decided to do it the other way round," explains Simcock. And so he creates music that is current, fresh, and brings a sense of real intimacy.
"Near and Now" is Gwilym Simcock's second full album for solo piano. The first, the highly successful "Good Days at Schloss Elmau" from 2011, was his ACT debut. That early album was nominated for the Mercury Prize and was an important step in establishing the Welsh-born pianist's reputation internationally. It has also stood the test of time, a fact which is at least in part due to the strong architectural sense that Simcock always brings to his work as both composer and improviser. As he says: "I have always enjoyed the challenge to make sure that a piece of music has a satisfying arc to it – it should take you on a journey whether it is composed or improvised." As the Daily Telegraph's Ivan Hewett's wrote of "Elmau" at the time: "Simcock has a feeling for the way harmony can create architecture as well as momentary colours – a rare gift."
Simcock's talent was singled out as special in his early twenties, most notably by Chick Corea: "Gwilym's an original. A creative genius." In 2006 he achieved a unique distinction when he became the first ever jazz musician to be invited to join the BBC's prestigious New Generation Artists scheme. In more recent times, since May 2016 he has been travelling the world as a member of Pat Metheny's Quartet. But that high-profile involvement is just a part of the current story. Simcock is also an in-demand composer, whose recent commissions include the London Symphony Orchestra's percussion ensemble, Sinfonia Cymru in Cardiff and a third major commission from Hamburg's NDR Big Band.
The time while travelling the world with Metheny and his all-star quartet has been put to good use. Simcock explains: "In the last six months or so, whilst away from home, I spent my spare time writing new music for a second solo album. I actually wrote much more, but quite a few of the pieces expanded." In the new album, recorded at Simcock's home in Berlin, the pianist is aiming for an "honest and personal sound," for which he cites Keith Jarrett's home-recorded album "The Melody At Night, With You" as a model. The instrument is a newly-acquired Steinway "B" from around 1900, completely custom-rebuilt for Simcock by the Klangmanufaktur partnership in Hamburg.
Each of the pieces on the album has another piano player as its dedicatee, and yet two things shine through consistently. First is the increasingly distinctive and individual musical personality of Simcock; and equally important is the sense of enjoyment which colours his whole music making process: his credo about listening is above all "to know why you are enjoying something." And playing? "To be able to make music that you know you'd want to listen to yourself."
Each piece has a different trajectory. The first piece, in three tracks, dedicated to Billy Childs, is the one which has the most compositional input, whereas the last, a tip of the hat to Egberto Gismonti, is the most improvised, the most intent on the building of texture and atmosphere. The first part of that piece is a reverie. In the joyous epilogue to the piece, Simcock describes it as increasingly acquiring "a driving feel, but not in a virtuosic way," a description which could also be applied to other joyous and lively episodes of the album. "Inveraray Air", the piece for Yellowjackets pianist Russell Ferrante is an astonishing, mighty piece of organic construction, based at least in part on just one tiny four-note melodic cell. And Mehldau? An aspect of his solo playing that Simcock enjoys is "a specific rhythmic focus, quite a rocky side."
And at the mid-point of the album, perhaps its emotional heart, is a short and beautiful 'thank you', which stands in contrast to the larger structures around it. Simcock has dedicated the transparently poetic "You're My You" to his first jazz piano teacher and mentor in Manchester from the ages of 14 to 18, Les Chisnall. "He has a very warm and giving approach to music, and that spirit is what I wanted to convey," says Simcock. Warmth and generosity are what make a happy home, and this offering, direct from Simcock's own house has plenty of both. Plus dazzling beauty, and above all enjoyment.

Gwilym Simcock
A virtuoso pianist and imaginative composer, Gwilym Simcock is a leading artist on the European music scene. Trained as a classical pianist from his youth, at the age of fourteen he turned his attention to jazz and composition, putting his musical foundation to work in a quest for a new and original sound. That his endeavor has borne fruit is confirmed by a myriad of awards, including the UK's Parliamentary Jazz Awards and the BBC Jazz Awards designation as "Jazz Musician of the Year." Moving effortlessly between classical and jazz forms, he has been described as reminiscent of Keith Jarrett, complete with "harmonic sophistication and subtle dovetailing of musical traditions." Pianist and composer Chick Corea called him "a creative genius."
The range of his work both as pianist and composer are testament to the depth of his musicianship. His solo performances include those recorded on the albums Blues Vignette (Basho) and Good Days at Schloss Elmau (ACT) which was chosen by the most prestigious music award in the UK, the Mercury Prize, as "Album of the Year." Duos include those with such artists as violinist Thomas Gould, bassist Yuri Goloubev, and pianists Leszek Mozdzer and Michael Wollney. He co-leads the Anglo-American quartet The Impossible Gentlemen with whom he has released three albums. For the past two years, he has been the pianist in Pat Metheny's quartet joining bassist Linda Oh and drummer Antonio Sanchez. He has been commissioned to write new works for dancers, choirs, small ensembles, big bands and large orchestras and continues to be in demand as a composer and arranger.

DEVOPS 2018 takes place on 13-14 December. Day 2 of the conference is looking good and jam-packed with razor sharp ideas!
Tickets to DEVOPS 2018 are still available!
13-14 December will take DevOps further as industry leaders descend upon Clarion Hotel in Helsinki for DEVOPS 2018.
We've already covered the schedule for Day 1 of the industry event. With less than two weeks to go, it's now time to delve into Day 2, which will see attendees come together under the umbrella theme "A Deep Dive into Devops". For the full conference schedule and speaker intel, look no further than the DEVOPS 2018 web pages.
From actual light bulbs to light bulb moments
DevOps has been a lightbulb moment for the industry; rapid digitalisation even pertains to the light switches in our homes and offices. Day 2 of DEVOPS 2018 kicks off with E.ON's Chief Architect Global Platform taking the stage to talk about "Decentral energy distribution in a digital world". Alexander Alten-Lorenz will give an overview of what lies ahead for the world of decentralized energy distribution, which sees energy being produced closer to where it will be used.
Puppet will then take you behind the data of their 2018 State of DevOps report. Get up to speed on the 2018 State of DevOps report and receive more insight from Puppet at DEVOPS 2018! (Puppet will also be running a hands-on workshop about Puppet Bolt on the first day of the conference.)
Next, take a peek at machine learning's role in video streaming services with Elisa's Service architect Jere Nieminen, who'll recount how the company used machine learning in finding anomalies from millions of video streaming events: "Anomaly detection using ML". The Finnish telecoms company recently wrote about their strategic approach to Devops on our blog.
What's your poison: Containerization, DevSecOps, or Serverless Computing?
Day 2's afternoon tracks will blaze through three trails clearly forming in DevOps. Is containerization making dependencies history? Should the clipped compound of DevOps expand to include Security too? Learn more about navigating the Serverless realm where cloud provider acts as server.
Track 1: Containerization
Is GO the language that will help scale SysOps? Using Go in DevOps – Natalie Pistunovich, Engineering Manager – Fraugster
Going with a Mono-repo approach brings a few significant advantages compared to Multi-repo. But does this really fit in a Microservices environment, where we want services to be independent? The Mono-repo – a contradiction with Microservices? – Johannes Brüderl, Lead Software Engineer, E.ON SE
Track 2: DevSecOps
Learn how to implement security on the subscription level, develop your applications securely, securely deploy, periodically scan production for compliance and security and get single security dashboard. This is a hands-on session! Secure your Azure and DevOps in a smart way – Victoria Almazova, Cloud Security Architect, Microsoft
It only took three days for Hackers to identify and exploit a known vulnerability in Equifax's web applications. Three days is is the new norm for DevSecOps teams moving new business/security requirement from design into production. Securing Modern Applications: The Data Behind DevSecOps, Ilkka Turunen, Global Director, Pre-sales Engineering - Sonatype
Track 3: Serverless Computing
Many have started to use serverless, but they don't consider risks involved in improper serverless approach. Serverless is not secure by default! Why Serverless is scary without DevSecOps and Observability – Mahdi Azarboon, Senior Analyst, Liquid Studio Accenture
Cloud Foundry is an open source project available through a variety of private cloud distributions and public cloud instances. But how do you make the most of it? How to build the Cloud Native applications the way you want – not the way they want – Steven Mustafa, Cloud Solutions Architect, SUSE
Knowledge graphs are an alternative to machine learning. Learn how ontologies are used by e-commerce giant Zalando. And how do you get organisational buy-in? Building a Knowledge Graph at Zalando – Katariina Kari, Ontologist, Research Engineer, Zalando
Find the full schedule for Day 2 on the DEVOPS 2018 site.

Olympic Men's Figure Skating Medalist Brian Boitano was on Rachael Ray promoting his cookbook. Who know he loved to cook. A woman in the audience asked what his favorite snack was and he said it he would whip it up for her. Of course, Rachael wasn't sure if they would have all the ingredients. Sure enough, she did. Here is a quick hummus recipe packed with all the fiber benefits of beans.
Garlicky Whole Bean Artichoke Dip by Brian Boitano
1/3 c. olive oil
1 (15 oz.) can of cannellini beans, drained
1 (15 oz.) can of artichoke hearts, drained
Juice of a lemon
2-3 garlic cloves
salt and pepper
Blend and serve. This recipe is good with wheat crackers, pretzel chips, and zucchini.
- I used a smaller jar of artichokes and it turned out fine.
- I used bottle lemon juice and jarred garlic.

"It is exciting to conduct research to find answers to problems."
"It is exciting to conduct research to find answers to problems."
I taught and researched in geotechnical engineering (building on, in and with the ground) and natural hazards (such as rainfall-induced landslides and dams for flood protection) for the past 19 years at ETH Zürich, until I became Rector in 2015. I now have responsibility for teaching throughout the university and for the 19,000 students who are registered for their bachelor's and master's courses, or a doctorate.
I was completely fascinated by the ways in which enormous structures had been built to dam lakes and direct the outflow to generate hydroelectricity and control excessive flooding of rivers. It seemed to be a highly sustainable way of providing energy. The combination of creativity, critical thinking, analysis and problem solving sounded like an ideal way to spend my working life, to add value to a range of communities.
No two days are the same. Civil engineers build prototypes all the time and our work never becomes repetitive. Even when teaching courses as an academic year after year, the ongoing development of content and the students' individuality guarantees novelty. It is exciting to conduct research to find answers to problems, and to be able to share these developments in teaching and with our colleagues in practice, to help them become even more efficient or safer with their designs.
I conceived and led a landslide experiment on a field site close to the Rhine. About 30 researchers and students were engaged in instrumenting the ground and applying extreme rainfall, while measuring the response to saturation. Cameras recorded the eventual failure of 130m3 of debris, which slid downhill, with no damage to the nearby road or any of our students and local inhabitants! We learnt a great deal from analysing the data. The experience was extremely valuable for us all and has had impact too.
The ongoing increase in numbers of girls emerging from school to go to university will have an effect in the longer term, although male students still tend to prioritise mathematics, physics and engineering. Providing evidence of exciting careers in engineering that tackle the global problems facing society today will attract more young women to contribute to engineering. The most important factor is that competent and diverse teams come together to solve such multidisciplinary problems, with mutual respect.
So few women engineers studied in the 70s; we were still 'objects' of some interest and surprise. Our lecturers did not know about acceptable use of language for an audience of young women as well as men. Their general behaviour and approach to assessment was sometimes very awkward. Nowadays, women do not feel as if they are the first or the only ones. There is a critical mass, which has been extremely important for gradual and sustainable growth.
Choose a university and a course that provides you with the fundamentals and helps you to develop your ability to extend your knowledge in areas that interest you, as well as to absorb from neighbouring subjects and to contribute to the solution of multidisciplinary problems. Interacting with outstanding lecturers and your peers will help you to develop the ability to think critically. This is essential in a modern era, where the availability of information and data is accelerating almost on a daily basis.

Sharing from the start
"The Sharing From The Start initiative which involves over 2400 children is supported by the European Union's Peace IV Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body. It involves early years settings throughout Northern Ireland and the Southern Border counties forming cross-community partnerships, and the children taking part in joint curricular classes, improving educational outcomes and promoting good relations."
This week we have experienced our first session of "Sharing from the start" and enjoyed a visit from our friends at First Steps playgroup and Castletower Nursery unit. It was lovely to see the children playing together and the staff working together for the benefit of all of the children. Activities like this allow us to develop good relationships with other pre-school providers in our area and hopefully establish a strong sense of community between us all.
In our nursery we have many children.
We're different but really the same.
In our nursery we have many children
And sometimes we share the same name.
But inside, inside, inside our heart we're the same, the same.
Inside, inside, inside our hearts we're the same.

If somebody asked me 'do you like the Flamingo Land Coast proposals?' I could answer in one word.
If they asked me 'what do you think of the project?' I would need a lot more information before I could reply.
Some of this information is evident in the drawings submitted by Flamingo Land Coast to the Council in early January (which did not include the 'artist impressions' that hit the press earlier this month). The drawings presented (drawn last August) are rudimentary, giving sufficient information to enable the Council decision to demand an Environmental Impact Assessment to go with any Planning Application.
This Council decision, called a 'Screening Opinion', is well worth reading (all documents are available via the Council Planning web-site). It left me wondering if Flamingo Land Coast are slightly mad. Who would spend a fortune trying to build a spaghetti railway in the middle of town? Perhaps the technology has changed since my day and rides are now silent and so safe that people don't scream; perhaps they are soundproof capsules that work by magnetic levitation; perhaps I misread the drawings and what I thought was a ride is no more than a sculpture on the hillside. There is no legislation about appearances as such, but there is plenty on noise as nuisance.
Years ago, I shared an office with some architects who worked for housing developers in Camden Town. They had a terrorist approach to getting planning permission, if I can say that: they would produce two schemes for the same site, one being particularly overdeveloped i.e. far too many flats for the site and the other being what they wanted - with a nice cardboard model to boot. Then they would submit them both as a planning application at the same time. They always got what they wanted! Perhaps Flamingo Land Coast want just the glass building - without the tower - without the ride - and without the greenhouse in St Nicholas Gardens.
We will have to wait and see what the Environmental Statement has to say for itself but is not everybody shaking their head in disbelief? The 'commercial leisure facility' as Arup nicely call it in one of the reports, is for visiting families and as we know the word family today means car. What on earth will FLC come up with for that problem? They could park
on the beach at low tide if they could get as far as Valley Road, but I can already see drivers angrily doing a three point turn just after Morrison's....
What perplexes me is why Flamingo Land Coast is the only contender for the former Futurist site. Surely developers would be lining up with projects for flats or aparthotels over-looking the sea with shops at ground floor level or why doesn't the council build some flats? Consequently I have been forced to do some homework about the site to try to understand. Please bear in mind that I am not a native of Scarborough (nor a geologist) and stand to be corrected if necessary.
In 2010 the Council had a Sheffield architect prepare some ideas for discussion. Two schemes were drawn as far as I know, one of which retained and renovated the Futurist cinema, the other scheme cleared the site and proposed a new hotel, but it also showed several small buildings higher up the slope. I believe the council was considering demolishing the King Street offices. It was a mixed development, just the kind of thing that makes towns.
By 2014 preparations were underway for demolishing the Futurist. A Geotechnical and Environmental Assessment was undertaken, particularly concerning itself with the land above the Futurist including the southern end of King Street. The findings confirm the analysis done following the landslip which brought the collapse of The Holbeck Hotel in 1993. This showed that the South Cliff is what is called glacial till (a mix of clay and gravel) to a depth of 30 m in places, above unstable rocks.
Prior to the establishment of Scarborough as a spa town the sea had been eroding away the foot of the cliff causing the cliff to become unnaturally steep. Over geological time the slope would have weathered down to be at a natural angle which would make land slips less likely.
What we see behind the Spa Pavilion is an engineering attempt to reduce the likelihood of a landslip there. Even though the geology behind the Futurist site is the same, it is much less steep and now less so, following work there, as a lot of material was removed from the top, below King Street.
The first geotechnical investigation behind the Futurist seems to have been done in 2008, yet another in 2014, a third smaller one in 2015 and of course that relating to the recent work to the slope that began in 2017.
Now, the slope has a series of monitoring devices going right down to the underlying rock measuring any movement and in particular groundwater. It is considered to have been a saturation of the ground that led to the landslide in 1993 and nearer town there are increasingly more drains specifically designed to carry away excess water.
Nevertheless the coastal land in much of Scarborough can still be described as unstable due to the nature of the underlying rock and if a spaghetti railway or anything else is built behind the Futurist my intuition tells me that the engineering solution to support it would be onerous and better avoided. Would anybody insure it?
I didn't intend this, but my thinking has led me to a proposal for any and all development on the site. It is based upon the geological reality (opting for prudence), the proximity to the Conservation Area and a taste for natural continuation of the form of the roadside development further along South Bay. In my view too much attention has been given to the Futurist site on its own (no doubt because it is there that much energy has been expended). For me, development needs to be considered between the Cliff Lift and Bland's Cliff as an entirety.
My proposition is that the steep land of St Nicholas garden is combined with the newly worked slope behind the Futurist site to make a brand-new 21st-century garden. This is the land most vulnerable to slip. The garden would therefore have no structures as such but would have a new layout of paths and steps linking King and St Nicholas Streets to the sea. Some buildings could be up to 5 stories along Foreshore Road and not impede views across the sea from the upper town.
What kind of buildings is not for me to suggest: my proposal is purely what I consider to be an appropriate urban layout for the context and there may be similar ideas out there that I know nothing about. There may be totally different ideas too and now is the time to dust them down and make them public.
What I do suggest is that if anything at all is built in this area it is the town that decides and defines what goes there instead of the town being a victim of speculative development.

That's why there is concern that the upcoming expansion of the Panama Canal may have negative effects on our local ports. The new third lane of the Panama Canal, scheduled to open in 2014, will allow larger vessels through. West Coast ports may see a loss of cargo as more shipments go through the canal to East Coast ports that are closer to the cargo's final destination.

Attention Deficit Disorder Does everyone have ADD
I received a notification from a blogger whose site directed me to a symptom checker about ADD or ADHD or whatever it's called. For some reason this compelled me to write about this learning disorder. It reminded me of my experience with Attention deficit disorder.
I am "old school"and back when I was growing up there was no such thing as Attention deficit disorder, although in retrospect I had every symptom. When I was 8 yrs old I banged my head on the wall while in bed in order to fall a sleep or I banged my legs up and down in bed continuously in order to sleep. I never told anybody I was to embarrassed.
Nevertheless years later at age 27 I was diagnosed with Attention deficit disorder and prescribed Ritalin. For some years it worked great and my career accelerated. I could read and actually comprehend what I…

Autism and the different Spectrum Levels
What motivated me to write this piece is personal experience. I don't have Autism but someone close to me does. Someone that has recently come in to my life and someone I care deeply about. I have been trying to learn about this debilitating disorder and have learned much, however what I have learned has generated as many questions as answers. Until recently I had no experience dealing with this disorder, and it is incumbent on me to learn as much I can if I want to be of help. So I share some of what I have learned.

- 1 cup fresh asparagus, cut small
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped small
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, cleaned and cut into thin strips 1/2 cup flaked crab meat
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or other mixed seasoning) 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray or rub oil into a 10 inch oven-proof skillet. Put skillet on stovetop burner set to medium-high heat. When skillet gets hot, add asparagus, mushrooms, onions and bell pepper and cook until just tender but still somewhat crisp. This will take about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add the crab meat and stir to combine ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, water, and Italian seasoning until mixture is well blended, then stir in the mozzarella cheese. Pour this mixture over the crab and veggies in the skillet, just shaking the skillet a little to combine; do not stir.
Put skillet back on stovetop over medium heat and cook just until eggs set up around the edges, about 5 to 6 minutes, then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
Bake in 375 degree oven until top is lightly browned, eggs are completely set, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 minutes, then serve by cutting into wedges.
Serves 4 to 6 people depending on whether this is served as a dinner, breakfast, or lunch, and whether or not you're serving with sides.
Depending on what type of diet you're following, you can choose low-fat cheeses. Also, be sure to check any sort of seasonings you use to make sure the ingredients fit your diet. As for the eggs, if you are eliminating egg yolks from your diet, egg whites works perfectly fine, as well. You'll need 16 egg whites to equal 8 whole eggs.

No chain?
Is this some sort of coded message?
The chain is an extra 8k yen.
save your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mr bemon.....fuck you! perhaps it is time for you to go to work!
well, let's see ... he just got about $12k selling 6 of the 30 gid 2-headed guys. so no, he probably doesn't need to go to work anytime soon.
I'm pretty sure it was an edition of 20
BTW, the prices that these sell for is just DUMB!
So were there 10 unpainted? Or was the whole edition 10?
these were pulled at the same time as the "rubbed" painted gids
it breaks down to the same numbers 30 dolls made except the mix
parts & solid black which i understand were less than 10 each
here is a very rare pic of the artist who created the sculpt from
the film version of the 2 headed monster. his name is Wah Chang
and he worked on so many puppets & stop motion it is stunning!
coronet3 by b-eaK, on Flickr
here is a sneak peak at an article on Monsters that talks about the full circle of the 2 headed Beast.
the concept & sculpt look very weird next to the FMOFL cover or the SVHC doll but hold the test of time in their ugliness...
BEAST by b-eaK, on Flickr
20 painted and 10 blank.
Here we go again...
Did anyone even bid on the last one?
6,000yen seems like way too much as a starting price when you compare it to the starting price of a full figure. I could see these getting a little more interest if they were painted heads bagged or it had a cain.
Not sure... I'm not even sure what to make of these (except that as much as I love Bemon this is definitely something I wouldn't even consider for a second). I totally agree, why not go for more than just the ball (I liked the previous bemon balls, especially black ball / chain / leather strap).
Painted heads, with a bottom cap would be awesome. Much better idea than just the spike ball.
All I can say is that after your question I kept an eye on the second ball...
that went away for 18500!!
I do like the colors on this one but wish Bemon would have painted a run of the Kougai thing instead. It just seems like a pretty silly way to blow a lot of cash.
Right but if people are willing to pay that?? How can he not. 224 dollars literally for that is crazy. I wish I had that kind of cash.
hmmm, one might wonder if these include something more.........
thats what I was thinking
Don't get your hopes up.
...at least 1 of the 3 hp one-off bemon chainballs sold at yja is on gid vinyl
Why do these "Bemon" balls, have a seem? That's a lot of money to take a chance with...
When I see these Bemon balls I can't help but think of a group of japanese CEOs buying these as their way of spending crazy money on something ridiculous and banal. A kind of stick-it-to-the-man statement, for themselves. Like, one of them is all like Patrick Bateman, but the rest can't see it over their expensive whiskey and mountains of Gorilla-jus with nag heads swapped in. They still think he is trash for liking zollmen so much. All of them keep trowing money in heaps at these, just waiting for the next thing to rave about.
I dont know, at least that fairy tale makes me feel less like a poor SOB, that will never own these.
I'm not sure I understand... would you want to own one of these?
I dont know, I dont know what I want anymore. Not the ball, but the 2 Headed monster is a really cool sculpt.
It's not going on my wanted list anytime soon, thats for sure.
Yeah, the 2H is one of my all time favourite sculpts too. I also liked some of the previous chainballs (black or silver with the leather straps) but these? I really can't see the appeal, if they were tickets I would've loved to see a camo 2H but as single one off balls they feel too little to bother (besides the price...).
Separate names with a comma.

Questions You Might Have About Sofas
When you choose to buy a futon it is more useful to buy a frame that has its own bed mattress. You generally get a much better deal when you buy the frame and bed mattress together, instead of looking for a bed frame and futon bed mattress independently. However, if you currently own a futon frame then, obviusly, you d be much better to buy a different futon bed mattress. In that case, choose the futon bed mattress with the very best quality basing your choice on the functions you require. Firstly, the futon bed mattress have to fit your bed frame precisely.

Modern living arrangements, at least for lots of people, are little and restricted. We don't all have limitless space and square video footage. We don't all have guest bed rooms and additional beds and home furnishings. For lots of people, living in a house or in an adequate, however tight residence is a truth. This indicates that at any time we can incorporate the function of something with the function of another, that's a good idea. And this is precisely what convertible sofas do. They incorporate the function of a couch, or sofa, with the function of a bed. Having the ability to transform from one to the other is what justifies the name. Some individuals call convertible sofas by other names. Growing up we always just called ours a hide-a-bed. I have actually heard others refer to them as different things as well, however the main point is that no matter what you call them, they do the same beneficial thing. Now that we know what we are discussing, we can take a better take a look at why we could want, or not want, to use among these bad children.
Platform beds are not that cheap however they are worth their costs. Make a sensible decision and buy a platform bed. Hardwood material are the finest specifically in a situation where the bed will have to accommodate many individuals who have higher weights.
Sofas set the style of the room they are in. Comfort and style of your sofa always depends on what material you go with. Softer microfiber materials, like luxurious or chenille, adds convenience to your sofa while crisp and smooth products have a neater and tidier look. Consider the total design of the room before choosing between a modern or a contemporary microfiber sofa. Threats such as untidy children, eating on your sofa, or a light colored material, makes sofa covers a great idea. Having an extra cover could save you money and humiliation as opposed to having to replace your sofa after a while. Covers are not that pricey and could be useful if you alter the color pattern of the room and simply have to get a new matching sofa cover rather of purchasing an entire new sofa.
There are various producers who design dresser and they can even supply you a wonderful variety in addition to the color. The rate is low-cost and budget-friendly for each class. You could have always wanted to refurnish your residence with good home furnishings and dressers however one should not spend over to decor the house, however this is quite possible with the large range of dressers readily available online at budget-friendly and low-cost prices. Many people typically assume that low-cost dressers suggest that the product utilized in the dresser is not of good quality however this is a mistaken belief as they are the very same dressers created by renowneded producers however they are low-cost priced since they could either have a wonderful discount rate. The dressers typically created with 2 to 3 columns makings them much shorter than chests which end at waist height.

Umami water.
Sounds like some sort of eel-based sushi distilled into a new type of water (or dare I say alcohol?) And yes, it exists.
This past Tuesday I had the fortune of listening to the White House pastry chef, Bill Yosses. I decided that if I ever made it to being First Wife of some president (hey I'm at Harvard, maybe it'll happen) I am immediately going to have daily cooking lessons with all the White House chefs.
So besides playing with glass blowers and candy gel (both 100% applicable to my life), I got to try this legendary water. Everyone was given two cups. He asked us to taste the first one and we proceeded to swirl and swish the waves in our mouths. Then he asked us to do the same and contemplate the difference of the second. Nearly everyone liked the first. My friend Marissa commented that the second tasted bitter. She was partially right in that there was a difference in taste in the second, but in actual fact the key difference was umami.
The injection of umami taste molecules into the second water created subtle, fuzzy sensations on my tongue and I noticed my mouth beginning to salivate. It was an extremely cool experience but I'm pretty sure umami (unagi?) water isn't going to go big anytime soon.
Maybe Michael Jordan's secret water stuff might.
Umami is the taste response to salts of glutamic acid – like the infamous MSG. Processed meats and cheeses have these savory components as well. The binding of these amino acids to G-coupled protein receptors initiates a "cascade" signaling process in the tongue and sends signals to the brain. Think of one person telling another about your secret crush, and then how the secret spreads like wildfire – exponentially increasing to the point that your secret crush isn't so much a secret anymore (#fifthgradeangst).
Although my focus for my imaginary and maybe way-way-way in the future documentary is smell, taste is equally as interesting to me because it is a physical sensation on the tongue that defines the larger makeup of flavor – almost like stretching vs. working vs. tweaking vs. pulling vs. lactic-aciding (I made that up, yup) a muscle. But with the tongue, it feels sour vs. sweet vs. bitter vs. salty vs. umami. Then there are the "mouthfeels" produced by other chemicals too – like fats and tannins of wine. Contrary to popular belief, the taste sensations are not localized to one particular area, so swishing whatever you're eating around your tongue (without swallowing it!) has a huge effect.
Random doodling:
Click here for a brief intro to tastes and how they scientifically function.
A fascinating German study came out that found that obese kids have highly insensitive taste buds compared to their slimmer companions: "especially [with regards to ] salty, bitter and umami. They also struggled to detect the difference between salty and sour, and between salty and umami."
The main question at hand is whether or not the lack of tasting ability makes a child more prone to becoming obese, or if the lack of ability stems from the child's obesity and epigenetics. I believe it could actually be deeper than both suggestions – perhaps the emotional dependency on food that many obese children develop is coupled with tasting ability on a more subconscious level in the brain. I wonder if the "numbing" emotional effect food gives is metaphorized in the tongue itself.
On the note of emotional frequencies and influences on taste – one researcher thinks there potentially can be a "hormonal fingerprint" that will determine tasting ability in the present moment.
"For example, the hormone leptin is associated with hunger, fat storage and the ability to taste sweet things. Obese people may be less sensitive to its daily cycles. Also, if the level of insulin circulating in the blood stream remains consistently elevated for long periods of time, as it does in many obese people, it could weaken the cells' receptors to the hormone, which in turn could mute taste sensitivity."
One last suggestion is that obese kids "habituate" to tastes – almost like drug-addiction and threshold effects.
Regardless of what the true cause is – this study clearly points to the healthy mechanism of mindful eating as a means to cope with obesity. The meditation on taste forces the consumer to cultivate an awareness of their taste sensations, and like anything in life, this can be trained and improved. So rather than seeing this whole taste bud article as a limiting factor from birth, it's actually an encouraging piece of information.
Random thoughts – what does tongue scraping have to do with all of this?
