Of course, when we listen to the discography of Type O Negative, there's something to be said when I can't find another band that even comes close to achieving the sound they strove for. The reason for this? Well, even in the genre of death metal, there are bands that are similar to Death, so much so that a band I heard that wasn't them, I had mistaken for being them due to the sound. In the past 2 months, Type O Negative has been a band that somehow has perhaps overtaken my favorite band, Death. I finally reviewed the 1991 Roadrunner records original pressing of Slow Deep and Hard in the mail today, and of course I was expecting a good sound, and boy did I find it. Moral of the story: be careful with writing your music while drunk and don’t be afraid to adjust your craft while sober! At the same time, Slow, Deep and Hard is hardly the most cohesive album that I can think of (there’s a six minute long interlude present on this album - go figure), so some patience is required once you’re going to give this album a shot. There’s a creepy introduction that properly leads to a soundscape of Peter Steele’s angry outbursts and it’s not done without a sense of humor! Who could forget that section where Peter Steele Steele starts to yell like a drunken cowboy and those exaggerated gang shouts back him up? Metal rarely gets this hilarious, I reckon. Just listen to 'Xero Tolerance' which is another shameless rampage that structurally speaking, develops with clarity at least. Overall, Slow, Deep and Hard makes an amusing listen and generally, it's a lot of fun. That’s not to say that there aren’t any superior moments here there’s a faithful Sabbath-esque riff that the track rides on for a while and I also enjoy its trilling later half where the band goes back to playing loud and proud. It’s as if Type O Negative weren’t always sure what to do with the ideas that they’ve had and instead, would try out as many things as possible. Likewise, ‘Prelude to Agony’ is another head scratcher wasting its time with a dragging introduction and even the church organs and croons that work far better in other tunes, serve little purpose in between here. Caught between metallic fury and industrial-like ambiance, 'Der Untermensch' spends the first two minutes building little atmosphere that works in the song’s favor and not even a minute after kicking into high gear, already returns to its original state. 'Gravitational Constant: G = 6.67 x 10⁻⁸ cm⁻³ gm⁻¹ sec⁻²' is a superb finale number and while it lacks some of the up-tempo changes that are present on most tracks, it manages to compensate with its mass of down tuned sludgy guitar work that slashes with morbid effects around Peter Steele’s high-spirited vocals.Īt its worst, you end up with tunes that hardly benefit from their multiple sub-parts and it’s a shame, cause even these feature their better moments. Versatile from a musical and emotional perspective, it’s not something that you don’t stumble upon every day, but this daring opener certainly justifies its length. 'Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity' starts off with some hardcore-inspired moments of Carnivore and eventually leads to an over-the-top chorus that’s caught between the atmospheric church organs and gentle gothic croons. When things work out well, Slow, Deep and Hard becomes rather entertaining clear right off the start. Indeed, Slow, Deep and Hard consists of many ideas - that at best, work rather well together. It sounds like a weird mix, but then again, it’s not like Peter Steele hasn’t shown his versatility in his Carnivore days (think of ‘Male Supremacy’, with its raging verses and its surreal gothic-esque break). Musically, there’s obviously still some Carnivore left in Steele’s sound, yet that ranges from faster, Carnivore-esque sections of pure anger, to occasional Black Sabbath-esque heaviness of authentic gloom. Peter Steele’s raw passion shines through these heartfelt (if occasionally quirky) compositions that are full of hatred, spite and sorrow. I’ll admit that I’m by no means a Type O Negative fan (not that I’ve heard too much of this band), but Slow, Deep and Hard works well enough for me. It’s an authentic record that tells the story of Peter Steele’s desire to kill his girlfriend after getting cheated on and before you forget: this is the same band that would focus on attracting a female audience in the years ahead - believe it or not! Originally written by a drunk Peter Steele within four hours during his Carnivore days, Slow, Deep and Hard is one of those albums that’s undeniably hilarious, yet isn’t just about comical value.

He threw out everyone who seemed to think to input something to the machine without him. The "cutter" I wrote was a person who operated the laser cutting machine. I opened the result in Inkscape and gave to it red stroke to make it visible. Press DEL and you have only the XY plane polylines:Īll curves are actually tens of joined straight lines: Then turn the projection straight sideways and select all but those lines which are in XY plane: A tilted watching direction shows that a big part of the sides of the surface triangles have vanished there's left only the basic skeleton: It removes all surfaces and leaves a bunch of polylines which float in the space. Do like I did, get a free demo of TurboCAD Deluxe and open the STL file. It's not especially difficult if you use a simple enough program. If you are interested in fighting a little more with a CAD program, you can try to simplify those extrusion shapes there. Actually only the left half of the shape was drawn because the shape is symmetric. The curves are not perfect, but they are drawn fast. I bet the laser cutter wants them.ĪDD: just to test the drawing process over the PDF I drew one shape in Illustrator with the pen. Screenshot is so light computer load that you can draw on it in Inkscape.ĭrawing it is also the way to get non-overlapping contiguous paths. You can get the screenshot for example from SketchUP. As well you can use a screenshot as your model. If you get the XY plane projection to Illustrator as I did, you can lock it and draw with the pen tool your own version. The downloaded shapes are quite simple so I recommend you to redraw them. In Inkscape I did not get anything useful from either. The PDF version worked a little faster than the SVG version. In Illustrator it was possible to select lines and delete them. Any attempt to make a single shape with the Shape builder freezed Illustrator. They freezed Inkscape and made Illustrator slow. The XY plane projection contains thousands partially overlapping straight line segments. Here's a piece seen from tilted direction: The STL is actually a 3D surface made of thousands of small triangles. I thought at first that saving the projection as PDF or SVG (both are possible), opening it in Illustrator or Inkscape and deleting unwanted lines does the trick. As a result, STL files contain no scale information, and the units are arbitrary.If one opens the STL file in a cad program and watches the model in XY plane, he can see something which is at first quite promising: All STL coordinates were required to be positive numbers in the original specification, but this restriction is no longer enforced, and negative coordinates are commonly encountered in STL files today. Binary files are more common since they are more compact.Īn STL file describes a raw, unstructured triangulated surface by the unit normal and vertices (ordered by the right-hand rule) of the triangles using a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without representing color, texture, or other common CAD model attributes. It is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and computer-aided manufacturing. Many other software packages support this file format. STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems.

We’re talking about the first batch of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card to hit Japan in 1999. A man once sold this card to pay for his daughter’s education. As time goes by, the first edition of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon becomes more expensive. It’s also one of the most famous Yu-Gi-Oh! cards ever to be released. This is the first edition of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card.

Not even Tyler, who became a cancer survivor. There are rumors floating around that Tyler was given two to three copies of the card, although no one has confirmed this. He was diagnosed with an abnormal form of liver cancer called Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma. The card was created at the request of the Make-A-Wish Foundation for Tyler Gressle. In terms of Yu-Gi-Oh! rarity, Tyler the Great Warrior could be one of the rarest Yu-Gi-Oh! cards to exist. For a while, this card was on sale in Akihabara for 400,000 USD at a discounted price, however, there were no reports of anyone buying the card. Not only that, it has the autograph of Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!, on the card. It was the prize for the winner of the 2001 Asian Championships Tournament. Put aside Yu-Gi-Oh! card prices, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is still a sight to behold. Signed Japanese Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon - 421,000 USD In terms of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards worth money, the 1999 Tournament’s Black Luster Soldier is the most sought after. It was created out of stainless steel and it was the prize for the 1999 Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament. That’s a lot of zeroes and for good reason! This card is the only one of its kind in the world. As the rarest Yu-Gi-Oh card in the world, it has been reportedly sold for 2,000,000 USD. The Tournament Black Luster Soldier is one of the most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh! cards around.

Finally, the client checks the server certificate, generates keys, and sends the “Client Finished” message.įigure 1: Graphic of a TLS “Handshake”. The “Server Hello” message also contains the server’s key share, its certificate, and the “Server Finished” message. Next, the server replies to the “Client Hello” message with the chosen key agreement protocol. This handshake starts with the “Client Hello” message along with the list of supported cipher suites and also a guess of which key agreement protocol the server is likely to select. During an interaction, a client and server start with an encryption “handshake” that relies on your certificate ( Figure 1). TLS protocol relies on certificates and keys.
