It was a night of special recognitions for the Creston/O-M state-ranked wrestling team Thursday night, during a pair of blowout victories over Perry (72-7) and Winterset (75-3).
In the first dual of the night, Winterset, now 6-4 for the season, topped Perry by a 51-28 score.
Creston/O-M, No. 5 in Class 2A on the latest Predicament ratings, had seven pins and five forfeit victories in defeating Perry. The Winterset match went even quicker, as the Panthers started the meet with six straight falls, ending with nine in all along with three forfeit victories.
Prior to the Winterset dual, the Creston/O-M team entered the gym carrying the T-shirt of Dalton Hribal, team member who died in a Nov. 23 auto accident. After that tribute, No. 1 ranked Keaton Hulett gained his career 150th victory with a hard-fought 4-0 win at 220 pounds over Winterset's sixth-ranked Blake Glenn.
Earlier in the night, three-time state champion Jake Marlin was recognized for gaining his 175th career victory, which actually came Tuesday at Lewis Central. With two falls Thursday, Marlin now has 177.
The all-time Creston/O-M career leaders are Kalab Evans (181) and Andrew Long (180). Marlin could reach Long or Evans as soon as Saturday's tournament at Centerville.
"If he would win out, he could get to 200," said Creston/O-M coach Darrell Frain. "That's an unbelievable accomplishment. The (state) record is over 200, but a lot of schools wrestle more duals than we do. To think about 200 for us, that's amazing."
In researching statistics for an Omaha World-Herald article on Thursday about Hulett, Frain discovered his No. 1-ranked 195-pounder was at 148 wins. He was set up to reach the 150 milestone in a matchup of rated wrestlers.
"For Keaton, 150 is amazing, because he started out with a lot of wins at 171 as a freshman and sophomore, which a lot of kids can't do," Frain said. "Tonight I felt really comfortable in moving him up against Glenn. I knew he could dominate on top, he just needed to get that takedown."
Hulett's second-period freight-train double leg takedown was the decisive move in the shutout victory.
Creston/O-M, now 11-1, picked up a bonus point for the reaction of Winterset's Russell Phillips after getting thrown to the mat for a 46-second fall by Trevor Frain, ranked fifth at 160 pounds.
"I turned away, but they said he swung or kicked at him, I guess," coach Frain said. "All I saw was Trev getting up smiling."
Creston/O-M nearly pulled off an upset at 152 pounds in the Perry meet, as Jackson VanKirk of the Bluejays, ranked earlier in the season, edged Panther Gavin Leith, 3-2.
Two high-ranked wrestlers did not appear Thursday, as No. 1 113-pounder Mason Miller of Winterset is sidelined by a back injury, and Perry's No. 8 138-pounder Seth Stetzel was out with illness.
The Panthers figure to get good competition Saturday at Centerville, including postseason opponent Knoxville, which has a ranked wrestler at 152. Centerville has the No. 3 195-pounder slated to meet Hulett, and it's possible that Kirksville (Mo.) has a nationally-ranked 138-pounder in Marlin's division, although Frain isn't sure he's still with the Kirksville squad.
"I saw him on the W.I.N. ratings early, then since then he hasn't been on any ratings," Frain said.

Gone are the days of "nude" pantyhose and a rotating three-piece suit set — if your office allows even the smallest smidgen of wardrobe wiggle room, there's really no reason to continue to bore everyone in the building with that ho-hum skirt suit you bought at the end of college.
For ladies who've got jobs as killer as yours and taste that's just as discerning, there's no shortage of stand-out, fashion-forward suits on the market to keep you looking like a boss (even if your business card won't back it up). From classic cuts in daring colors to truly avant-garde silhouettes, these are the work looks that made our hearts sing (when's the last time a pantsuit got you feeling those feelings?). After all, you've never fit the 9-5 box…so why should your clothes?

I don't know if they're still around, but years ago when I did alot of commercial plumbing, the Plumbing Supply and/or Air Conditioner Supply houses had a clamp-on patch for doing that on a 'live' water system.
We'd get a leak in a chill water AC system, and use them as a permanant repair 'till Winter came along and we could shut down & drain the water out for welding the leak like 'normal'.
These patches were a strap of Stainless Steel about a foot long, size specific for the pipe, with a pretty thick neopreme sheet on the inside. The lengthwise edges were rolled up over a bar (on each side)and had nuts & bolts going through every couple of inches. The neopreme was thick enough to use/seal over a leaking weld seam joing two pieces of pipe together also.
We had to use one under a parking lot one time. We dug up/exposed the pipe, patched it, then a few months later, the parking lot got re-surfaced. We couldn't find it again. Rather than dig up a bunch of new parking lot, we just left it. Far as I know, its still holding, and that was about 10 years ago.
They worked great. All it took to use one was:
Find the leak, clean the area, wrap the patch around the pipe, put the nuts & bolts through, and tighten them down.

Thats how they repair water mains usualy, same exact device. It's also a permanent solution, so you don't have to replace it later if it's instaled properly.
Here's a dumb question I see alot of guys use 6010 rods. Why? I have never used 6010. I have used 6011, 6013 alot and 7018 most, but it seems 6010 is mentioned alot. Is there something about it thats good for something special? I know 60xx is 60,000 lbs, and the xx1x is all postion, the xxx0 I think is DC only. So what makes this rod better than say a 6011??Scott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
I think it might be a territorial issue on rod usage. Down here in Florida ( or at least in my area) the rod of choice is 6011 or 7018 for most applications. I have traveled quite a bit thruogh out the country and each demographic area seems to have their own preferance. Is one really any better than the other? I can't really say as I have had good results with all types of rod, but I personally prefer 6011 as an all purpose rod over the others for general duty type welds.

Thats kinda my preference, just didn't know if the 6010 was better in some way, ThanksScott
HMW [Heavy Metal welding]
6010 Rods
We use 6010 rods up here a lot for root passes on pipe. It is a good choice because we can push the weld through the gap between the lands of the 'v' groove, the rod freezes quickly, and provides weld re-inforcement to the inside of the pipe. The hot pass - usually a 7018 or similiar is used to burn out any slag inclusions, and fill any undercut left behind by the 6010. I use it sometimes for a root pass when doing repairs to accomodate poor fit up when you can't get in there for proper weld prep. My hot pass, extra fill passes, and cap pass are ususally 7018,8018,10018,11018 etc.
I also use 6010 for welding on gauge metal lightboxes etc. when I'm outside to prevent burnthrough or distortion.
I am not a pipeline welder so if I offended anyone, I apologize in advance.
6010 is very similar to 6011. It's DC only and is a little less agressive. 6011 is better suited to dirty, painted, and rusty metals. 6011 is AC or DC and has a far less stable arc on AC. 6010 is smoother running and for most ppl. has more control over the arc. I always choose 6010 over 6011 unless it's crummy metal then I'll use 6011. Also you can take either one (6011 preferably) and quick dip the rod in water then crank your machine all the way and use it for severing plates and stuff. The water gives it a more agressive arc and alows for better cutting. It actualy works realy well for non critical stuff and quick fixes when decent cutting tools arn't availale.
Excellent questions.

"A professional knows what to do. A craftsman knows why."
Next time you run acroos this problem try sharping a drift punch, drive it into the hole until the water stops, weld around it and cut it off. We have done this many times on process water, chill water and even high pressure gas.

New Chowhound destination in Reno: 5th St. Bakehouse
I have limited experience there but this looks like one of the coolest new places in Reno.
I stopped by today and got an ice cream and a peanut butter brownie. They make their own ice cream and I tried two. One is made with jalapeno in part of the process. Instead of a sweet finish (aftertaste) there's a spicy finish. I'm not sure I like it. The jury's still out. But it shows this is no ordinary place.
I did like the ice cream made with some sort of cookie. I couldn't understand the name but it's tasty. I got a cup. The peanut butter brownie was excellent, too. All first rate ingredients.'
I didn't see any bread I wanted to try but it looks like it might be pretty good. They also often sandwiches with fresh-made bread. That's what makes the tortas at Los Palomas on Wells Avenue so good. This definitely looks like a place to explore. Other restaurants in town seem to have culinary pretensions but the it looks like 5th St. Bakehouse delivers.
The owner lived in Reno before and returned after spending five years as a pastry chef in Napa.
It was hard to find. It's next to Keystone Cue and Cushion in the same strip mall that has Fresh Mex.
Pictured below are the building exterior, ice cream and the peanut butter brownie.

re: enbell
The brownie was small and about $2, but tasty. First rate stuff. The ice cream was about $3. Together they came to just under $5.
I stopped by for lunch and tried the Reno cheesesteak sandwich and the lemon meringue pie. Both were good. The sandwich was on cibatta bread and I still liked it, which is unusual because for some reason I hate Italian breads usually. The salad with it had nice fresh black olives. It was nice they weren't canned. The lemon meringue was nice and had a good crust.
re: SteveTimko
Steve, your pics look mighty tasty as usual! The breakfast sandwiches sound kind of interesting. I've just discovered restaurants making sandwiches and burgers with potato bread and rolls. The new 775 Gastro Pub at the mall, uses potato rolls for the burgers. Very nice!, really makes the sandwich.
re: karaofreno
Thanks, Kara. I have more pictures to upload but can't find the time to get around to it.
I wonder who makes the potato bun for the 775 Gastropub? I agree it is tasty.
re: SteveTimko
shut the front door.
I"m salivating here.
looks wonderful, that's it! we're going back.
I'll have to GPS the address next time we're in Tahoe.
which will be soon since we gotta check on the baby caboose, she's in that direction
Photos of the cowboy breakfast sandwich and the banana nut bread. Loved the breakfast sandwich. The banana nut bread was pretty routine.
Hurray! Finally made it to this spot for lunch today - outstanding. My daughter and I shared the brisket sandwich with carmelized onions and the chicken sandwich with jalapeno jam. Both were tasty. I hear the Cuban sandwich is pretty darn good, too. I'll be back.
They started offering on weekends biscuits and gravy with homemade chorizo in place of the sausage in the gravy and this is the best biscuits and gravy in Reno.
Pictured are the biscuits and gravy with eggs and French toast.

Wednesday, March 12, 2003KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (March 12, 2003) - Lady Vol rookie right-hander Stacey Jennings registered a career-high seven strikeouts and allowed just a second-inning single to East Tennessee State as the Lady Vols grabbed the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader from the Buccaneers, 8-0, at Tyson Park. With the win, Tennessee improved to 20-8 overall, while ETSU saw its mark evened at 7-7 with the loss. The Lady Vols plated two runs in their first turn at the plate on three hits and a Buccaneer error. Sarah Fekete singled through the left side and stole second before Katherine Card doubled to center field to bring home UT's first run. A fielding mistake allowed freshman Kristi Durant to reach base and also advanced Card to third. Seconds later, sophomore Amber Rhinehart was hit by a pitch to fill the bases. Junior Lauren Mattox lined out to ETSU freshman left fielder Janine Sprague, who completed a double play by firing a bullet to the plate to nail Card. Jennings would leg out an infield single to score Durant with an unearned run. Tennessee increased its lead to 4-0 with two more runs in the second inning, courtesy of Durant's two-run double. A two-out fielding error on a ground ball from Card brought Durant to the plate with Fekete also positioned on second. Durant sliced a double into the gap in right center field for her sixth two-bagger of the year but was thrown out attempting to stretch her hit into a triple. Three hits in the bottom of the fourth yielded two more runs for Lady Vols. Following consecutive singles by Fekete and Card, a ground out by Durant pushed her teammates into scoring position. Rhinehart's tapper to the second baseman allowed Fekete to score and junior Lauren Mattox would launch a double to left field to plate Card and drive junior Tiffany McVay from the circle. Angela Brewer hit a homerun to start the fifth for Tennessee, increasing the margin to 7-0. The homer was number three of the season for the slugger. Senior Blaine Teasley and freshman pinch hitter Chemil Washington stroked consecutive base-hits before freshman pinch hitter Kristen Bass nudged her teammates over with a grounder. An infield single by Card loaded the bases and Durant would end the contest via the mercy rule with an RBI hit into center field that brought in Teasley. The hosts totaled 13 hits off the Buccaneer tandem of McVay and junior Jennifer Fraser, led by Card's 3-for-4 outing. ETSU sophomore Lindsay Lane had her club's lone hit, a single to start the second frame. McVay (3-2) allowed eight hits and six runs (three earned) over 3.2 innings, while Fraser surrendered five hits and two runs in two-thirds of an inning. --- Trailing East Tennessee State, 3-0, in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader at Tyson Park, the Lady Vols matched their biggest output in a frame all season with eight runs in the sixth stanza to pull out an 8-3 decision over the Buccaneers. The come-from-behind victory enabled Tennessee to take both ends of the doubleheader. Tennessee moved to 21-8 overall, while the Buccaneers fell to 7-8 with the defeat. Tennessee mounted a threat in the third inning, positioning runners on second and third with just one out, but came away empty-handed against freshman pitcher Julia McChain. Freshman Mandie Fishback singled into left but was erased at second base on rookie Sarah Fekete's fielder's choice. Freshman Katherine Card ripped her third double of the season off the wall in left but McChain answered by having freshman Kristi Durant ground out and sophomore Amber Rhinehart pop out. In the top of the fourth, junior Tiffany McVay drew a walk from senior Stephanie Humphrey and freshman Janine Sprague slapped a single into shallow left field. A sacrifice by sophomore Danielle Spetar advanced her teammates to second and third and sophomore Lindsay Lane stepped to the dish and cranked a double high off the wall in left to give ETSU a 2-0 lead. Humphrey was replaced with freshman Christy Anch. The reliever stranded Lane on second by having junior Rhea Holler fly out to center and the right-hander caught freshman Jessica Lonsinger looking at strike three. Ellisha Humphrey hit a leadoff double to the center field fence and Fishback followed by reaching on an error. McChain retired junior pinch hitter Lauren Mattox on a fly out and erased Humphrey at third on Card's fielder's choice. A wild pitch allowed Fishback and Card to move up but Durant would ground out to end the inning. The Buccaneers tacked on another run on a Tennessee error with two out in the sixth to take a 3-0 lead. Spetar beat out an infield single and took second on a wild pitch from Anch. Lane earned a free pass and then Holler's grounder was misplayed, enabling Spetar to score on the play. Rhinehart was hit by a pitch from McChain to open the bottom portion of the sixth and a throwing error on freshman Stacey Jennings' ground ball allowed freshman pinch runner Kristen Hays to reach third. Although Jennings was tagged out by the ETSU shortstop on junior Angela Brewer's fielder's choice, Hays scored when a relay throw over to first went awry. Senior Blaine Teasley roped a double to straightaway center field to plate freshman pinch runner Kim Anders to narrow the gap to 3-2. Ellisha Humphrey then lined a single into center to score Teasley with the tying run. After freshman Jolene Holthaus relieved McChain, Fishback and Fekete walked to fill the bases. The next Lady Vol batter, Card, worked the count to 2-0 before Buccaneer Head Coach Amy Fuller elected to re-enter McChain. Card would take the next two pitches to earn a walk to move UT in front, 4-3, as Humphrey came across. Durant then unleashed a two-run single into right center field to bring in Fishback and Fekete and prompt another ETSU pitching change. Junior Jennifer Fraser retired Rhinehart on a grounder, moving Card to third and freshman pinch runner Jessica Wilsonto second with two down. Moments later, Jennings ballooned the hosts' lead to 8-3 when she smacked a liner into left to drive home her teammates. Anch allowed just one hit and an unearned run over 3.2 innings to raise her season ledger to 4-1, with McChain (0-1) taking the loss after being charged with eight hits and six runs over 5.1 frames. Starter Stephanie Humphrey yielded two hits and two runs over 3.1 innings.

He replied "I'm here to play football not to provide intell. Don't I get a helmet and a playbook issued to me."
Jets laughed and countered with "You can leave now."
thats dumb for the jets, cost a roster spot and salary cap
He also said he was 'nauseous' with how the team treated Aaitui and then confirmed he was talking about the Jets. Not sure exactly what happened but apparently Canter is pretty damn upset.
So, is he coming back?

Play ended for the night a few hours ago. Some reports:
Ozzy is at 74K, so he's among the chip leaders for the tourney. He won a huge pot with the following action:
He raised to 1200 in MP with KQ, the SB made it 3000. Both stacks were about 35K, so Ozzy called. The flop came AT9. The SB check, Ozzy bet 5800, the SB called. The turn came J, giving Ozzy the nuts. The SB check-called about 10 or 11K. Then the SB check-called Ozzy's all-in on the river.
Takeover grinded a small stack for a little while before picking up some steam. He's at about 50K.
jennicide got up to 20K at the dinner break, but is back below 10K as of the end of play tonight.
Here are some more pictures from today:

A picture of Ozzy just before play ended for the day. You can't see all of them, but he has about 75K chips at the time.
That's it for today. Let me know about any requests for chip counts or pictures via the comments on the blog.

Nearly 37 million Americans claim to have Irish heritage according to a national survey conducted in 2009. That's over eight times the number of people living in Ireland today. Although it's remarkable that nearly 1 in 10 Americans might say "Kiss Me I'm Irish!" on St. Patrick's day, it's not clear if all these people actually have Irish ancestors or if they simply feel an affinity for corned beef and green beer.
So how do you know if you have Irish ancestry? Often this information is passed down through family stories, for instance my mother claims to be a quarter Irish and so I'm apparently one-eighth Irish. But can I look at my DNA to verify this?
It turns out that maternal and paternal lines can offer some clues about Irish ancestry. In my case, my maternal line, traced through mitochondrial DNA that I inherited from my mother (thanks Mom!), told me that I'm a sub-type of a lineage called H6a (specifically H6a1b). H6a is is an offshoot of the broader H maternal line and is found at low levels — 4% or less — in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Sweden… and Ireland! So, although it doesn't completely verify the story, this one branch of my ancestral tree is at least consistent with claims of Irish ancestry on my mother's side.
What is a "maternal line"?
Maternal lines are inherited through mitochondrial DNA — both women and men have mitochondrial DNA, but it's only the mother's mitochondrial DNA that is passed on to a child.
What is a "paternal line"?
Paternal lines are inherited through the Y chromosome, which only men have. (Remember that women have two X chromosomes while men have one X and one Y chromosome). Since women don't inherit a Y chromosome, they must trace their paternal line through their father's, brother's or paternal uncle's Y-chromosome data.
If instead I want to see if I have Irish ancestry on my father's side (even though my father has never claimed to be Irish!), I can investigate my paternal line, which is traced through DNA on the Y chromosome and passed from father to son. Even though I don't have a Y chromosome, I can learn about my paternal line through my biological brother's or father's DNA.
85% of Irish men belong to a paternal lineage called R1b1b2, but since this line is also common across the rest of western Europe, it doesn't definitively determine if a man has Irish ancestry. If a man has a sub-type of this lineage (called R1b1b2a1a2f2), however, it's much more likely that his DNA might actually trace to Ireland. Research suggests that many men of this line are descendants of an Irish king named "Niall of the Nine Hostages" who ruled during the 4th and 5th centuries. According to legend, Niall led one of the most powerful and enduring Irish kingdoms and it has been suggested that because of high rates of Irish emigration to North America and other parts of the world, up to two or three million men descend from Niall!
Learning about our ancestry is particularly fun when we can toast to it. Even if you don't have Irish ancestry, we wish you a Happy St. Patrick's day and encourage you to explore the hidden stories in your DNA.

Masters and apprentices...

Masters and apprentices...
The cycle seems broken. I honestly believe we NEED that structure. It seems to me, nothing else can fix the problem. If anyone knows of any studio in animation that has a business model built around the master/apprentice or incorporating it in any way, I'd love to know...
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Other than hiring new employees as an apprentice category under the union pay scale I don't know of any studio offhand that has an apprentice program.
I think the term for it today is perhaps a mentorship as opposed to a master, or perhaps a masterclass in an educational program. Apprentices have become interns. Whereas apprentices were paid, by today's standards, most apprentices are now interns and usually work for free.
There's nothing much that can be done about it on the studio side of things. As long as interns are willing to work for free and mentors are anyone who is willing to offer some guidance, master level or not, that's the way of the modern industry.
Make the best of it.
On the flip side, now anyone can produce animation and create their own franchise. Some are having great success. Whereas before the model of the successful independent was hard to find, now there's so many individuals and groups who are operating this way it's vastly expanded what animation is and who can access it. A very positive development considering that in the old days it was a very prohibitive and exclusive club. The art and the medium for producing it has become greatly democratized and that helps balance things out.
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Thanks for the response sir! It has become clear to me that the professional "studio" side of the field is working on a damaged model... but it feels like it was built on a properly working one. I LOVE the recognition and exposure the new medias bring to the artists, as well as the potential for earning a living, a thriving living of abundance at that. The freedom it brings to express oneself purely is great... but there is a flipside. Wisdom seems to be lacking... There's a reason why doctors don't start practicing right out of school, why they choose fields to specialize in, and serve their internships under the tutleage of a mast.. er .. mentor. During those years of study, they learn not only the tools of the trade, and techniques... but also receive exposure to the decision making processes of their mentor. The human side. The empowering side. The side that teaches how to live in that world. Our industry has the technical side completely covered.. it's the human side that's lacking. They say to lead by example... and very few actually do. You sir, are amongst the exceptions. Our industry does not seem to see the value in forming crews and working and training as crews as an asset... There is shorthand learned by working side by side with each other, that can create growth and improve quality and speed. Our field is similar to the medical industry... we are always on call, and our hours are overloaded... and the job seldom cares for your personal life. how hard would it be.. to restructure ourselves?... to re-organize ourselves. The medical field would be a perfect model of how to go about it, it compensates both the executive branches and the talent branches,and the work is everywhere.... as is the need for art. To organize through our union it would need to wish to demolish all it has known, and rebuild fresh... humans tend to not dig that change thing much though, so I'm not optomistic... Also, people would have to TEST or get CERTIFIED to practice, and an ethics code would need be created...Crowdfunding can cover the costs, if artists pull together... selfless or selfish... do we believe in the all, or do we empower the individuals... I honestly don't know which is the wisest strategy... I see the one we are in failing, I know united humans can move mountains, divided, just hills....
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Your comments are right on Marius.
My contribution to your insights would be along the lines of forget about the studios and their systems for an effective / efficient model. They're about work for hire employment and everything that goes along with it. Some good and some not as good as it should be. I do appreciate the content they create. They have the money to throw at ambitious projects but the resources that creatively empower independents are getting better. Much better!
My years in the industry along with my experiences with the studio system side of things has underscored the dysfunction. I wish there was a different word for it but that's the one I feel is best suited to describe how it works. There's little within the studios or the union or anything that involves them that would translate to any kind of meaningful and positive reform for artists and creative individuals and groups in general other than those that are entrenched there. Look at what the VFX industry is going through. There's a lot of instability in the status quo system.
When I got into the biz you were young if you were in your mid 30s. These were the days of the masters. Today you're considered past your prime at that age as more and more 20 somethings with only a few years of work behind them become mentors. Very little regard is given to a master status.
There's always the exception of course and I do see it from time to time but the real growth is in what's happening with independent projects and operations.
You are at a distinct disadvantage if you're a studio artist and are not preparing in some way for the independent market.
Salvation is not necessarily within the established studio system although they won't have you believe it. Some studio artists have never heard of Kickstarter and crowdfunding and are really out of touch with what's happening in the outside world. Sooner or later they're going to be facing it and unless they're prepared they'll have a difficult time when that moment comes.
The future for all of us is in our fan base. Even if you work in a studio you should be using your experience there to develop a fan base. A few thousand fans could translate into mega bucks! Even just a few hundred can keep you going with a relatively comfortable lifestyle and will provide more stability than studio employment can offer.
Salvation lies with your fanbase, not with a system that becomes more dysfunctional every day.
If I spent my time focusing on their world I wouldn't be here. It's not a world that appeals to me any longer aside from what's happening creatively. I'm much more intrigued by the prospects of doing my own thing and developing a community of artistic love and enthusiasm. I enjoy exploring independent projects and endeavors and leave the studio scene to corrupted bloggers and union reps instead.
Keep Creating and you'll find happiness in your art!
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Thanks Charles!
I guess I'm not really looking at studios for the answer... but just noticed a structure exists. Was curious if it was the humans behind the system... or the system... if it's the system at fault, I completely think it should be abandoned... if it's the people... I think responsibly, ... well.. in my head... a grown up cleans a mess when they enter a room, a child leaves a mess behind... I fear the guilt of leaving a mess behind.. will haunt me... so I need to keep on trying to find a way to clean the mess. I just wonder.. what if.. everyone cleans their own mess... then things.. might get done. Instead... many studio execs have fancy drinks, and many studio artists... play with toys... and the mess keeps on growing... I have this nagging suspicion, there's a way for all to win... Anyways. Thanks for your insight Charles... As a 35 year old trying to learn how to be a proper human.. I'm having a hard time finding role models I can follow... my desire for money is non-existant... i simply long for purpose. Your dedication, commitment and hard work is commendable and has been an example to me. Thanks sir, for being a hero. They aren't always liked, or right, or perfect... but they keep on fighting for what they believe to be true. Thanks sir! I'll retire to my daydreams of artist doctors, and what a world that would be... medical doctors can cure physical ailments, we can cure... soul ones....
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Thanks Marius, for your supportive words. It's odd to actually get a positive remark from someone. I'm long accustomed to this biz not giving a damn.
I think you really nailed it with that analysis. That's the way I see the animation industry in LA and their system as a whole. Very childish and lacking the professional maturity to grow, adapt and evolve for the betterment of all. I see it in the union. I see it in the studios. I see it with animation media and industry bloggers. I really see it in the artists I'm sorry to say.
That's another reason why I'm attracted to and intrigued by what's happening with creative individuals and groups outside of this crowd. It's a much more interesting and dynamic world than the studio scene and it becomes more appealing all the time. The studio scene and their systems are finite. The emerging landscape that we're seeing with all this independent activity is boundless! What's more, I'm seeing huge success with many of the projects and properties arising from this new world! It's an occasion to rejoice with something new to celebrate every day! The studio scene doesn't compare to the new dynamic that's happening! At least for me it doesn't. I'm much more intrigued by the success of independents.
I teach my students that as well. I teach them to prepare for the future by developing their content and fan base.
You've got the right attitude Marius. Focus on your creativity and in ways to give to the world. When you do the world will give back to you especially now with crowdfunding as a proven medium. Don't concern yourself with fixing the status quo. If you really want to make a statement about changing things then do it through the example of your creative productivity and in making the most of the NEW system.
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Sir, I completely understand what you are saying about independence.. I HONESTLY do... I LIVE in that world presently. It's filled with the same, unknowing wisdom lacking humans of the world... permission to speak candidly sir?
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Of course. Share your thoughts.
Re: Masters and apprentices...
My old life was about working with my peers, sacrificing for the team and finding they'd easily sacrifice me so they can continue, forgetting what I contributed and actually bad mouthing my name to make sure they cover their tracks.
It was fcking surreal.
But I was lucky I had mentors in my life who exposed me to alternatives. Although mentors can end up just being about themselves. The dynamic of master and apprentice is still stronger then any corporate gig out there. Best believe.
What I DID learn though is you can't unify unless you are a strong individual first. With a moral compass and a basic understanding of fundamentals with the will to invest hours to become a master yourself. One can achieve anything!
Re: Masters and apprentices...
When did we lose our home? Animation.. started different... dream based, hard work driven, and very passionate industry... became... lazy, sloppy, abusive, and over all.. just ugly. How did we lose it? When did adults, stop being adults and embrace being children instead? I watch in disbelief as 40 year olds and even 50 year olds... walk around happily trying to wear a role of man-child. That is SOOO dangerous for us all...and it seems it became the animation stereotype... where are all the adults?...
Snakebite, I ABSOLUTELY can relate to your statement. I stopped worrying about anyone liking me, or giving me a fair listen. I ask EVERYONE to work very hard, and sacrafice play... nobody wants to hear that. But in my head, play.. is for children. I've spent so many years doing things wrong.. and everyone telling me.. that's animation. I just feel.. like our industry could be MANAGED by adults better. Saddly, I'm not seeing adults at the helm.. and it's not just in our biz... one only has to glance at congress to see a prime example of children in adult suits. We used to serve gourmet meals... and we've let ourselves become fast food... we need to do the hard work, to become healthy or we are destined to live in this cycle.. til our children or their children find the strength to break it. It sucks... because it wasn't broken to begin with... it was broke by humans, and can be fixed by humans...
Re: Masters and apprentices...
By the way, Snakebite and Charles, thank you so much for sharing your time and thoughts, and letting me express mine freely... Charles I've always looked up to you, and snakebite life had to punch me in the face a few times before I understood you. When I first joined AN many years ago, I didn't understand why you seemed so upset.I watched that VFX video you put out recently though, and was blown away by your honesty, integrity, and with the respectful tone of love you had... reminded me of how a good father should be. You both have had a positive impact on my life, and for that, thank you sincerely.
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Thanks for reconnecting with us Marius. It's great to have you back and I appreciate that you have the wisdom and vision to see what's been going on in the animation biz and that you have the courage to address it.
There's no question as to the immaturity of the animation community. I've experienced it for myself intensely as a direct result of AN.
Know what it was 3 days ago?
April 1.
The day I was fighting for and promoting all those years so we could have an official holiday in animation to honor artists. Think it was picked up by anyone in this biz? Not a chance.
I learned a lot of very harsh and sobering lessons as a result of AN. It really hit home on October 21 2011 at the fiasco of a debate with the Animation Guild in Burbank.
By the way, take a look at the childishness we experienced that night from one of our community's leading bloggers, author and historian...
That says it all when it comes to what the status quo animation business is all about. These guys actually think of us as an enemy.
Since then I've stopped wasting time and life energy on these people. They're a hopeless cause.
Do you really want to make an impact in animation? I'll tell you what will do it.
Become successful at your art.
Are you looking for maturity, integrity, love and support?
You'll find it with your fans.
That's what I've discovered over the past year. That's why crowdfunding is becoming such a potent force in our business. Your fans will show you love and support. The animation community in LA will shove a knife in your back. They'll discredit you, slander your name, behave like immature idiots, and huddle in their cubicles and gossip like school kids.
If anyone doubts what I'm saying consider how many artists in the Guild bothered to vote on their own 3 year union contract last year. Just 1 in 5. Case closed.
Don't look to these people for anything other than creative inspiration. Most of them are incapable of anything else.
Look at what's happening outside of the animation labor oriented work for hire community. Look at how successful independents are becoming.
This is the future! This is where it's heading.
Stay positive. Maintain a good attitude. Don't get caught up in industry soap operas. It's a distraction.
Focus on your art and your creative productivity. Your fans will love you for it.
Let your light shine in the darkness!
Re: Masters and apprentices...
I hear you loud and clear sir. Honestly, it feels like this independent cycle hit before, with the internet boom, lots of artist run studios were born out of it, only to transform into the thing they were born against ... I'm hoping this time we'll do it right... I have this nagging worry though... i fear we are simply re-inventing the wheel and will follow a similar cycle to what we've seen...
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Wow, thanks man, I appreciate the good word. I was reading your post and thinking, man, sounds like some of my old posts. hahahaha But hey, even my closest friends didnt get me and I had to cut them loose.
I will say, don't lose the play. We can still be adults and responsible and play with what we do! have fun at the end of the day.
But again, what you said to me means a lot. I want to participate with people. I don't want to alienate myself, but I feel strongly about my perspectives and want to express myself as much as possible.
Evolution aint gonna happen from us being quite. And I appreciate your perspective as well. Passion like that will turn s*** around. It did for me. Its still a hard road, but one with much focus. Sometimes the truth can sting and people don't want to hear. Which I'm sure you can understand oh too well.
Thanks for the respectful tone while we shift all this out and make a new dynamic in our industries!
Re: Masters and apprentices...
The boom of Y2K time was a false start Marius. People foresaw this time and jumped into it before the technology was ready and business models had developed.
Today it's a completely different story.
Back then you still needed investment bankers and investors and capital from institutional sources.
Not any more!
In fact these sources have literally become obsolete in the new emerging system. There is nobody between you the content creator and your end user. It's as smooth and wide a path as anyone could hope for or imagine. The old system of working at the studios and master / apprentices and interns and work for hire employment - all that is going to change at some level. How so we'll see but the change is coming none the less. You see it in the troubles and cutbacks that Hollywood studios are experiencing compared to the obvious and growing success of crowdfunded campaigns and projects THAT THE CAMPAIGNERS OWN!
The dynamics are very powerful.
It's an irresistible force moving upon an immovable object.
The irresistible force always prevails!
A great thing that is happening brothers and sisters!
Re: Masters and apprentices...
yah but sir, i see it kinda as surfing.... in my analogy, money is water. in the old boom a wave came, and those that caught the wave, were poised on money's front.. the wave came,. they rode it best they could, and it passed.. new swqell is coming in... artists are poised to catch the wave.. do they KNOW how to RIDE the wave?.. not without EXPERIENCe.... in my head... I fear the worst, and hope for the best... I've talked to artists though.... :/
Re: Masters and apprentices...
This is about a new system where access to the resources one would need to further their creative endeavors becomes more directly available to us. If you compare what's happening now to the boom of the early last decade the difference is glaring.
First off, the boom is not reliant on traditional capital investment as before. And if you're waiting for this boom to bust your wait will be in vain. If anything, studios are going bust. Not crowdfunding as a resource.
Secondly, the record of successfully funded projects is obvious. You're not dealing with capital in the same way. It's much more about marketing and pre-selling and ownership and appealing to / interacting directly with your audience and customers and fans.
This is a paradigm shift that's been in the works for a long time. It's being manifested as power to the artists and to creatively motivated people.
We have control. Not investment bankers or corporate executives.
Use the system that's emerging to your advantage to affect others in a positive way with what you have to say.
Re: Masters and apprentices...
I agree with you on the differences sir, as they do exist. And I really hope I'm not coming across negative, because I'm not. I'm actually a very positive person, who is looking forward past this moment into the future to see what could be the negative flip side to this crowd-funding boom.I merely present the best/worse case scenarios based on my experiences that pop into my head: i worked for young money people as an animator at the tail end of the original internet boom, I worked for a bigger studio after, and I now work for three crowd-funded projects... and I've learned humans are humans, artist or executive. There's a complete lack of WISDOM at the top. Crowd funding will keep going, but the indie person, unless they wisen up and learn responsibility, will become an unreliable source, and I suspect NEW studio systems based upon the crowd-sourcing model, with track records will come to dominate the field again. The good news is crowd funding opens doors to the future for our beautiful art-form... whether the artists and executives will walk through together or seperate, I've no clue. Everyone seems so EAGER to stay divisive...it's like watching a beatuiful tree, but up close the branches (executives), and fruits(creatives) are fighting about who is the more important bit... while completely ignoring the leaves(the labor industry sheltering all), meanwhile the trunk is busy hoarding and enjoying all the water by itself. ARTISTS do not necessarily make good executives, and vice versa, but for either side to think that we don't need the other side... well.. seems foolish to me. I can tell you from experience animating for the studios the weekly demand was 30-45 seconds per week of animation... as a crowd-source studio animator... it's seeming to live in the 50 seconds to a minute a week mark... that, to me, does not feel like a positive change. It's a complete producer error, but I'm used to those. I want to believe hard that artists can make a change, and they can.. if they choose selfless over selfish. But they aren't... they see crowd-sourcing.. as their own personal get out of struggle free card, instead of using it to unify and unite our industry... selfish over selfless. Artists and execs are both equally guilty of choosing the first over the latter more often than not. Until the adult generations choose responsibility over fun... we're doomed to repeat the pattern. This is not me raining on a parade.. just me pointing out what I see as the problem... The only solution I can think of involves all of us uniting together. The systems aren't broken, how we use them is. We NEED to unite, all of us. There's no way all executive branches will die out, and there's no reason for them to either. They just need to do THEIR job, and not the job of creatives. It will happen eventually, the younger generations see it more clearly than the older ones. Whether we live to see it is entirely in each and EVERY one of our hands, we can make the difference.. or we can be a footnote in history. UNIFY. That's not done by dividing (artists choice), or being subservient(executives choice). That's my worse case scenario fear (which seems very likely). Best case scenario, artists grow and take responsibility for their lives, put in the appropriate time to develop out what they really wish the crowd to fund, help others of experience execute their own crowd funded projects to gain the wisdom, and when the time is right (when the artist knows all the aspects of the thing they wish to fund) they branch out and repeat the cycle... with new younger artists helping them. Eventually studio systems will grow from this, and executives and others will have their jobs again, with the bottom line not being the dollar, but the art... it can be good for EVERYONE, including the masses...It's the whole master/apprentice selfless thing. I would LOVE this system... sadly, I see more evidence for the worse case scenario playing out than the best...point is... in the end it'll all be ok.. how bumpy of a ride it will be for all of us is in all of our hands.
Re: Masters and apprentices...
Hey Marius I appreciate this great topic that you started and I understand where you're coming from with your comments.
This is the best advice I can offer at this point. Based upon my many years of fighting for the very things you're talking about.
I spent a lot of time and effort and a lot of money sponsoring industry events with food and drink for the animation community. I spent years sponsoring the AN Forums and I was at the vanguard shouting from the mountain top about what was happening in animation and passionately attempting to do something for the betterment of our community. I've been publicly calling for unity among artists since February 1999 and extolling that message since 1985 when I gave my first speech about launching an artists' revolution while teaching at the California Art Institute in Calabasas, California in December of that year.
Do you think anything I've said, written or sponsored has sunk in or has even been remembered by my peers and colleagues?
Check this out...
This is what I've learned my friend.
The animation community of artists are an absolutely hopeless cause. They couldn't unify if their lives depended upon it. Look at the VFX industry and the calamity that artists are experiencing there. With all of that turmoil they still can't get it together.
Look at the Animation Guild. Nearly 80% of its active membership didn't bother to vote on the ratification of their own union contract in August of last year.
Look at the corruption of the Guild's leadership.
Look at animation media and their failure to seriously address the very real problems that face this community especially when it comes to its chronic dysfunction about doing anything positive for itself.
Look at how many artists coming out of school are willing to work for free.
Look at how many masterful artists are being laid off at the studios.
Look at how much money is being siphoned off by studios executives to support their uselessness.
There is no hope for change from this community and the system it's embracing.
You must be the change.
Flip side...
Look at what's happening with independents.
Look at what's happening with crowdfunding. Consider how many artists all over the country are living happier lives creating for themselves and connecting with their fan base.
If you want to lead a crusade to unify animation artists then more power to you. I hope you're successful. If I were you I would focus on this...
Your quality of life. Your happiness. Your creative productivity. Your personal growth. Your friends and fans and those who will support what you do.
Life is short and you don't want to waste your years on a futile campaign for people who will not appreciate your message nor your efforts. If you really want to make a statement to the animation community, one that will really resonate with them, then become successful with your art. That's the only thing they understand and care about. That's the only way of getting through to them and frankly I don't think it's worth it. Focus on yourself and find happiness in what you do.
Your peers will hate you. Your fans will love you. Go with the love.
Maybe I'm wrong about your peers. In any case, go with the love.
Re: Masters and apprentices...
I completely understand sir.. I guess I'm bored by the soul-less finished product that the studios produce, and am UNDERWHELmed by the indie projects that have soul... and little finish... it's all so frustrating.. i got no answers, and will have to go with the just do my thing... oh the well...

The D.C. man sentenced Wednesday to 18 years in prison for a spree of burglaries in Montgomery County didn't make it hard for investigators to track him down. He left court paperwork bearing his name at one of the offices he burgled.
According to police records, Andre Antonio Henry, 30, was the suspect in a slew of burglaries of commercial office buildings in Rockville, Bethesda, and Silver Spring in which the burglar used a flathead screwdriver to pry open doors to gain access to offices.
When police arrested Henry in May, Montgomery County police charged him with 12 separate burglaries or attempted burglaries. Wednesday he was sentenced in three of those burglaries.
Henry had been on probation for burglary charges in Virginia when the crimes occurred, according to court records. That criminal history of burglaries was a factor Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Andrew L. Sonner brought up at sentencing.
"In order to protect the public we really have to warehouse you and keep you locked up, in order to make sure you don't get out and go back to doing more crimes again," Sonner said, before handing down Henry's sentence.
Henry pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary last month, and had faced a maximum of 45 years in prison, but received an 18-year sentence per his plea deal with prosecutors.
"This was a crime wave, and this crime wave is over now," said Montgomery County Assistant State's Attorney Steve Chaikin at the sentencing.
In court Wednesday, Henry said little, but shortly before being sentenced, apologized for his crimes.
"I wish I could take it back, but I can't," he said, speaking in a quiet tone.
Several of the people who worked in offices that Henry had burgled appeared at the sentencing.
Two spoke to The Gazette, but asked not to be named.
One of them was the 43-year-old woman who found Henry's name on court papers he left at the scene as she arrived that work on Jan. 2.
"All I did was come to work, and here they were," the woman said.
A few papers had been ruffled or were out of place, but there wasn't much to indicate there had been a burglary, just some indentations where he had used the screwdriver to pry his way into the office.
Henry took $6, a pin, and an electronic picture frame from that office, she said.
Another burglary victim, who works at Federal National Commercial Credit in Bethesda, found out after an employee called him while he was at a trade show. The office had never been burglarized in the 21 years he worked there, the man said, adding that the crime "shook up" his co-workers.
"It was a first, you just don't expect it," he said.
Henry stole a laptop and some petty cash from that office — and then left the laptop at the scene of another burglary, the burglary victim said.
"He left a whole bunch of clues," the man said.
"I'm glad he's in jail — I'm happy with the sentence," the woman who found his court papers said.

Lewis Hamilton may have lost out to Fernando Alonso at the Canadian GP, but the Mercedes driver enjoyed his battle with the Ferrari man...
Lewis Hamilton may have lost out to Fernando Alonso during the latter stages of the Canadian GP, but the Mercedes driver enjoyed his battle with the Ferrari man.
Having started second on the grid next to Sebastian Vettel, Hamilton managed to hang onto that position until the 64th lap when Alonso dived on the outside in the DRS zone.
Hamilton tried to fight back a few laps and they made contact, but no serious harm was done and Alonso went on to finish second behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel with the Mercedes man claiming the final podium position.
The 28-year-old Hamilton, who has won three races in Montreal, admits he enjoyed going head-to-head with Alonso.
"I have a great time here every year," he said. "I think a small part of the wing came off it was really close, we had a great battle, he [Alonso] is a fair driver and had a great drive. We just have to keep pushing so we can get closer to these guys."
Hamilton, though, admits he would've loved to finish ahead of Alonso on Sunday.
"It's a bit disappointing," he said. "It's not been a very mellow weekend. It would have been nice to have held on to second but Fernando was generally just quicker but it is an improvement in the Constructors Championship."
After being given instructions by his race engineer, Hamilton responded with a "just let me drive".
"I was being chased down by Fernando which is like being chased by a bull and when you are at your max that's when you can crash so you don't need any more distractions," he said.
"We are constantly improving the car, over one lap it feels good and in a race it does but then the tyres get too hot so we need to do more work on that."

Note: A lot of you are having issues downloading the free PowerPoint. I apologize! I added the covers to my TPT shop. Please try downloading them there. I've added many editable PowerPoint documents before, but never through Google Docs. Try at my TPT shop, and let me know if it works. I don't have any other solutions. Sorry!
Okay, I don't know if you all saw the calendar today, but I certainly did. August 1st. It's like my body knew that yesterday was summer vacation and today was…NOT! I woke up feeling anxious, realizing I have a bazillion things to do before the beginning of the school year. I know you all are right there with me.
So, what does an anxious teacher/procrastinator/monogram/chevron lover do in times like these? Make more binder covers, of course. Why? Oh, you know, because a pretty binder will solve all the world's problems this upcoming school year. Ha. I wish.
But, they are so pretty. I have no idea what I'm going to do with these. Seriously, who needs 7 different shades of monogrammed binder covers? Anyone? Maybe I just like seeing my initials in fancy letters.
Well, if you are a procrastinator like me, or if you want/need these, please feel free to grab them below. All you'll need to do is download the font below, open the PowerPoint, and get busy!
Here is a quick step-by-step tutorial:
- Download Monogram KK font (free for personal use)
-Open up my editable PowerPoint file
-Create a text box over top of the circle, and write the first and middle initial of your name using the Monogram KK font. Leave a space in between the two letters. You will want these two letters to be the font size 115. (See below)
-Create another text box over top of the the two letters above. Center the text box, and then write your last initial. You want this font size to be larger (I recommend 239 font size).
Now it will look like this…your new look is complete!

All of the Ananke moons are retrograde, which means that they orbit Jupiter in the opposite direction from the planet's rotation. Their orbits are also eccentric (elliptical rather than circular) and rather highly inclined with respect to Jupiter's equatorial plane. All of these characteristics support the idea that the Ananke satellites began as a captured asteroid, rather than forming as part of the original Jupiter system. None of the Ananke members is massive enough to pull itself into a sphere, so they are probably all irregularly shaped.
Thyone has a mean radius of about 2 km (assuming an albedo of 0.04). At a mean distance of about 21.2 million km from Jupiter, it takes about 627 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Thyone was discovered 11 December 2001 by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt and Jan T. Kleyna at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii.
How Thyone Got its Name:
Originally called S/2001 J2, Thyone was named for the mother (originally named Semele) of Dionysos by Zeus, the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter. Her story is similar to that of Lysithea, namesake of another Jovian moon: Zeus promised to do whatever she asked after he impregnated her, and Hera (Zeus' wife and sister) tricked her into asking Zeus to come to her in the same way he appeared before Hera. So Zeus presented himself accompanied by lightning and thunder, which literally scared Thyone to death. Zeus sewed her fetus into his own thigh, so he could carry the child to term. At the appropriate time, Zeus undid the stitches and out popped Dionysus.
A name ending in "e" was chosen in accordance with the International Astronomical Union's policy for designating outer moons with retrograde orbits.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Creating Dilettante Chocolate Covered Fruit is a craft we have mastered at Dilettante. Dilettante's Chocolatier family brought this candy making method to the Pacific Northwest many years ago introducing the dragee method of confections to the west coast. Premium dried fruit is liberally covered in two types of rich gourmet milk chocolate. At Dilettante, we use premium Northwest dried cherries, blueberries, apricots, strawberries and coat the fruit twice using premium chocolate blends of dark, milk and white chocolate.
Using the dragee (pronounced draw-jay) method of candy coating, dragee pans (special revolving kettles) are used to coat the premium dried fruit in Dilettante's gourmet chocolate blends. Revolving pans coat the chocolate confections perfectly like, resulting in a lovely decadent chocolate morsel.

Dragees are chocolate covered candy made in special revolving kettles. The term dragee is French in origins and describes the method in which we coat our dried fruits, nuts, and espresso beans. Dilettante chocolate covered dragee candies use fruits and nuts. Chocolate covered fruits and nuts are chocolate covered candy free from compound coating and only use the highest quality chocolate. These dragees are the chocolate connoisseur's ultimate snack.
Here at Dilettante, third-generation Master Chocolatier Dana Taylor Davenport uses master formulas that are selected from the notebooks of Dana's grandfather, Earl Remington Davenport and his great-uncle, Julius Rudolph Franzen, Master Chocolatier and Pastry Chef to the crowned heads of Europe.
