Fakers and LosersA while ago, :iconpbird12: a.k.a Paula wrote an articlewhich states clear cut facts so as to why the whole issue about someone faking their art creates rage waves through the art community!The last week has been a riot which ended up in me getting blocked by two deviants here who clearly have something to hide!I obviously care much less about the fact that there are many artists here on dA who get more famous than others considering the skill work. Some people get lucky and some don't. It's not easy getting known around this site.But the fact that people would want to fake art to get accolades makes me angrier than ever.Here are two examples on what happens when you try to confront artists whom you are suspicious about!Example 1- The "awesome":iconnatmorley:Now now Bratnorley) , you don't need to get all worked up for a single comment there do you?You obviously think we are all stupid people here who don't really see what you are doing?

Fake art - why care and what to look forI posted this last week for anyone looking for help to spot fake art. This is not law, if you don't care, feel free to move on. But if you do care that there are fakers out there, then maybe this could be of some use to you too. We have a serial faker on the loose on dA today so it sparked this little lot once more. So, the questions/scenarios asked are always the same and the responses/justifications are always the same, but give them a minute to sink in before replying and insulting.(Q1) Why do you care if someone is cheating what does it have to do with you?(A1) Well, this is a public ART site and if people are submitting art that is not actually what they claim it to be, then they are dishonest. This will annoy some people and not others. If your passionate about your work then the chances are you'll find it insulting to the artistic community as a whole. Additionally, a lot of admins of groups HAVE to deal with fakes as a daily occure

THEME: inspire yourself with my photographyWhat I mean with this is that if you're a drawer (for example) you can either draw one of my pictures or create a new one that has been inspired by any of my pictures. This works for traditional/digital painting and literature.IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND PHOTOMANIPULATION: this will be different. I will give you a theme, and you will do something with it. They will have to be human portraits.- The theme is: LUSTCATEGORIESThe contest will be divided in three: Literature traditional and digital drawing/painti

As a traditional artist myself, I know the amount of time and effort that goes into creating each and every traditional piece of art. So, can't a group of us traditional artists do a little something for each other and the larger community?Here is a fairly simple idea that a few of us have decided to begin.A Poll A DayTHE IDEA 1.The usage of polls as a way of exposing art 2.Art shall be displayed as thumbs 3.A group of us traditional artists take turns as rotation each day to bring out the under-exposed 4.Creating a special folder in favorites consisting of the deviations that have already been displayed in A Poll A Day previously in each deviants' pageGROUND RULES

Spring Brings A Colorful Procession
Of Wildflowers To the Smokies
The highly varied vegetation of the Smoky Mountains includes approximately 1,500 species of native flowering herbs, shrubs and trees. And the spring ephemerals are poking their heads up looking for sun before the trees completely leaf out.
The Smokies' wildflower season begins in late March with the arrival of columbine, hepatica, jack-in-the-pulpit , bloodroot, violets, spring beauty and trout lily. Followed by dutchman's breeches, crested dwarf iris, trillium (seen above, top), phacelia, silverbell and mayapple in April. In May we see bleeding heart, flame azalea, indian paintbrush and wild orchids.
Whether you just want to get away for total relaxation; or to enjoy some fishing, hiking or mountain biking; or take in our scenic mountains by car or train ride ...you'll find Bryson City has a wide variety of lodging possibilities for a welcome "home" at the end of the day.
New Website
Swain County Has
Gone Fishin'
Fishing is big in Swain County year 'round. In fact, it's so big that it now has its own website: GreatSmokiesFishing.com. The comprehensive guide to fishing in the NC Smokies features a map of twenty-six fishing destinations — mountain trout streams, creeks, rivers and two large lakes.
Fishing in the Winter Months - NC Sportsman magazine says, "Don't forget winter trout fishing in the mountains, where cold means hot." Read more

Your POV
"I mean it (Name) you are the luckiest girl in school. Do you know what these girls would do for a secret admirer!" my best friend Sarah said as we sat down for lunch. I had just told her about my secret admirer Jack. He's been leaving presents and love letters for the past two weeks. Even though I haven't even met him yet I'm starting to get feelings for him. "I know Sarah. Which is why I want this to stay between me and you. Ok?" I said. "Alright. Do your parents know?" "No. They'd never let me hear the end of it if they found out."
"So, what's his name?"
"Have you met him yet?"
"No. If I did he wouldn't be secret anymore."
"Point taken. Hey, think you could show me one of the letters?"
"Tomorrow, I don't have one with me."
"Do they say the sweetest things?"
"Yes, and this is where it gets really romantic."
"Well. Don't keep me waiting."
I look from side to side to make sure no one is listening.
"He said he loves me."
"O.M.G. That's is soooooo cute!"
The bell rang signing that lunch was over.
~Time skip~
Finally school was over. I walk over to my locker and open it. "Hey (Name)." I hear Sarah call as she runs over to me. "Hey Sarah." I replied. I faced the inside of my locker and start to smell.....cologne? "Do you smell that?" I asked. "Smells like a guy's cologne." Sarah said. I look in my locker and next to my notebooks is and envelope. I grab it and pull it out, putting to my nose. It smelled like the cologne. "Is that from Jack?" Sarah asked. I open it and reach for what's inside. I pull out a silver chain with a hook and loop, and at the end is a heart shaped pendent with the word 'Angel' engraved on it. The chain was taped to a folded paper. I remove the tape and unfold the paper, and on it, in what looked like red paint was ' For you my beautiful angel. Love Jack' I start to blush.
Suddenly the note and necklace were snatched right out of my hand. "Oooo, what's this?" Said a familiar and annoying voice. I looked over and saw a blonde haired girl dressed like a slut, two other girls dressed the same why, and their boyfriends. "Give them back Whitney!" I demanded. I tried to reach for them, but her boyfriend pushed me, causing me to slam against the lockers. "Hey!" Sarah yelled. She tried the same thing I did, only to end up on the floor. "Nice necklace. I think I'll keep it. Oh and tell Jack he can do sooo much better." They all laughed. Whitney gave the necklace to her boyfriend so he could put it on for her. I started to feel tears build up in my eyes. "I didn't know sluts could get jealous!" I snapped at her. Her boyfriend walked over and slapped in the face. He raised his hand to do it again.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her boyfriend's wrist. Who ever it was they were wearing all black. Black hoodie, black joggers, black gym shoes, black gloves, sunglasses, and a blue scarf covering the rest of his face. But I could see a little bit of his dark brown hair sticking out from the top of his hoodie. "Who the hell-" "Give it back." Said the boy in black. "Uhhh, excuse me?" Whitney asked "Give it back." The boy repeated. "And if I don't?" Her boyfriend asked. All I heard was a cracking sound and him screaming. "YOU BASTARD YOU BROKE MY WRIST!" "That's not the only thing I'm gonna break!" All I could hear was screaming and bones breaking. The other boyfriends tried to help, but they ended up the same way. Who ever the boy in black was, he really knew how to fight. I noticed the necklace on the floor, but Whitney grabbed it. Before she could even get her hand off the ground, the boy stomped on her hand. She screamed bloody murder. "Let! Go!" The boy demanded. Whitney did what she was told. She looked at her broken hand and cried like a baby. The boy picked up the necklace and walked over to me. He put his gloved hand on my cheek. I hissed a little because of the pain. He then replaced his hand with his lips. I blushed hard. "I will never let any one hurt you." He whispered. He put the necklace in my hand and me close it. "Jack?" I asked. But he suddenly took off running down the hall and out of sight. "Oh. My. God." Sarah said. "You can say that again." I replied.

Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM
Announced Feb 14, 2005
Prime lens | Canon EF, Four Thirds, Nikon F (DX), Pentax KAF, Sigma SA Bayonet, Sony/Minolta Alpha
Ask a question in forums about the Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM.
Ask a new question
Hey, this question probably pops up a lot but I was wondering how DX users feel, or FX (60mm Micro 2.8 vs 50mm 1.8)
I am selling my awesome 50mm 1.8D lens that gives a nice bokeh effect because I felt the focal length was too long for a walking lens. Taking it to the park gave me a lot of limitations trying to compose my shots. This lens's FOV is also too narrow because I want to be able to do street photography.
The 18-105mm kit lens that came with my D7000 is a decent general-purpose that...
Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. Nice to find you all,
I have a Canon 5D, an EF 85mm f1.8, an EF 28-70mm f2.8L and an EF 17-40 F4L. I am generally very satisfied with my gear, knowing full well that in this particular case I am the limiting factor, not them. However, I do feel that my camera is pretty old now, and even though picture quality is still excellent, I do wish I could have something more modern. I shoot mostly landscapes and portraits but I would like to expand in street.
hi everyone
I am looking for a 'normal prime' for my SLT and was wondering if anyone has done a bit more research in the mid-low cost range. I bought a 35mm sony (SAL35F18.AE) and I'm not very happy with what it does. I was wondering if the 30mm sigma 1.4 was any better or anything else out there is good.
thanks for your views
Hi everybody,
I got a second hand Sigma 30mm f1.4 which is in good shape except one minor problem: it squeaks like a seal when focusing and hunts quite a bit because the friction of the focussing mechanism causes stick-slip effects. I can feel the friction is higher that it should be when I focus manually. In good light the focusing work better simply because the motor works harder. Still focus is a bit of hit and miss.
Now I had a similar problem with a sigma 50-500mm of which the af motor...
I am a new owner of a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC lens and I am trying to figure out its performance right now. I am aware that a lot of people who accuse their Sigmas of having front/back-focusing problems are actually witnessing a camera body calibration problem in phase detection autofocusing and only noticed it with the Sigma because its shallow DOF at f/1.4 exposes camera calibration issues much more than standard aperture lenses do. I decided to test my new lens on my Rebel t4i and I'm a...
Hello Everyone,I posted a similar thread on another forum but haven't gotten a response. I'll try to keep this one brief and to the point.I bought a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens a couple weeks ago, and after taking some basic test shots of my kids and dogs around the house at f/1.4 - 2.0, I'm not getting the same razor sharp results that I saw on a lot of the sample pictures people posted using their Sigma 30mm. I understand it won't be super sharp all the way across when it's wide open, but mine...
I have a crop sensor 4ti and looking at Sigma's 30mm 1.4
The 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM has been out for years and seems well loved. They just announced an update to this 30mm F1.4 DC HSM. I think the EX means it will work on crop sensor or FF and I like that flexibility though I have no near term goals of going FF.
My question is if this is worth the wait, anyone have any sense for this. The price has dropped on the existing 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM on Adorama and thats a good discount...unless the...

Thursday 5 Mar 2015
By Martin Bailey and Melanie Gerlis. News, Issue 249, September 2013Published online: 05 September 2013
Neil Kingsbury, of Northwood, London, has pleaded guilty to charges relating to the provenance of Egyptian antiquities that were consigned to Bonhams and Christie's.
Kingsbury was arrested after misrepresented items were identified in Christie's London antiquities sale of 2 May. Marcel Marée, a curator at the British Museum, saw the published catalogue a week earlier and spotted that a relief fragment of a Nubian prisoner appeared to come from the Amenhotep III temple in Thebes, across the Nile from Luxor. He contacted Hourig Sourouzian, the site's conservation director, who confirmed that the relief was missing. It was excavated a decade ago and had been kept in storage."Property of a gentleman"The granite relief was recorded in the Christie's catalogue as the "property of a gentleman". Five further pieces, all dating from between 1976BC and 1069BC, were identified as having come from the same person. The estimates were modest—from £800 to £2,000. (One further item, worth around £10,000, was not identified before the auction and was sold. This sale has since been cancelled.)Christie's was originally told that the six items had been inherited by the consignor from his uncle, who had served in Egypt during the Second World War and stayed there for a few years afterwards before returning to the UK. The provenance given in the catalogue was: "Private collection, UK, acquired Egypt 1940s; thence by descent."All six items were withdrawn from the sale, and Christie's informed the police and the Egyptian embassy.Bought in a souvenir shopKingsbury, aged 63, appeared at Uxbridge magistrates' court on 20 August on four charges. He pleaded guilty to the first three, relating to fraud by making false representations on items offered to three auctions: at Bonhams (five items, four of which were offered in one lot), an earlier Christie's sale (one item) and Christie's auction in May (seven lots). However, Kingsbury pleaded not guilty to a further charge of being in possession of stolen property (the Nubian prisoner).The prosecution said that Kingsbury had bought the items at a souvenir shop in Egypt. His lawyer said that he was of "good character" and "did not plan to commit a crime", and that he had "no knowledge that [the Nubian prisoner] was stolen property". The original source of the five other items withdrawn from the May sale does not appear to have been identified, but museum specialists believe that they too could have come from Thebes. It is not known when the temple's storage space was subject to a theft.A spokesman for Christie's says: "This case shows how our procedures, our due diligence and the transparent and public nature of our sales combine to make our saleroom highly unattractive to those engaged in the illicit trade."A spokesman for Bonhams says: "As with every item sold by Bonhams, a check had been made with the Art Loss Register and with a number of other experts and institutions, none of whom expressed concern about this lot."At a preliminary hearing yesterday, 4 September, Kingsbury's mixed plea was confirmed and he was released on bail, to appear at a plea and case management hearing in November. A trial date has been set for late February.

He'll have to change his tombstone again
Blago-appointed Illinois Sen. Roland Burris has to go. I thought I'd found a Saturday Night Live skit when I clicked on his news conference the other day...he was sweating, squirming, denying and jabbing his finger in the air..."I am a man of integrity!"
This guy reminds us of why we distrust dang politicians so much. They should never have allowed a disgraced, about-to-be-impeached, Governor to appoint a Senate replacement in the first place.
See, a week or so ago Roland Burris quietly filed an affidavit to correct the testimony he had given to the Illinois House impeachment panel last month. Why? Maybe because a Chicago newspaper reported that one of Burris's three conversations with the governor's brother was recorded by the FBI.
Before his appointment to the Senate he told us he had no contacts - well, maybe one - with Gov. Blago or his representatives about the seat.
Now, in the amended affidavit, Burris says there were six contacts, including three with Blagojevich's brother Robert that sound pretty shady.
From Chicago Tribune: "Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan led a growing chorus of Democratic officials Monday calling for a deeper investigation of U.S. Sen. Roland Burris' explanation about how he was appointed by now-ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Burris has maintained there was nothing inconsistent between his testimony before state lawmakers and a recently filed affidavit outlining more extensive contact with Blagojevich insiders than he had previously disclosed. But Illinois Republicans pressed their call for a perjury investigation by the county prosecutor ...[...]"
Sure looks like he perjured himself to me.
Back when Blagojevich called a press conference to announce that he had selected Burris to fill Obama's seat, reporters pointed out that Burris' law firm had once contributed $14,000 to Blagojevich's campaigns. If that ain't "pay to play" I don't know what is!
Burris should do the honorable thing and resign. Maybe he hasn't yet added "Senator" to his list of accomplishments on that tombstone in Chicago he had built as a monument to himself. Bizarre...that should have tipped people off right there.
Anyway, Democrats are happy. Burris is a serial loser...couldn't win when he ran for Mayor...couldn't win when he ran for Senator...couldn't win when he ran for Governor three times. Not to mention his being appointed by Blago taints him big time.
Now Dems can concentrate on strong Democratic challengers like Lisa Madigan, Jan Schakowsky, Jesse Jackson Jr., among others.

The Mrs. and I are visiting our daughter and her husband this weekend. We spent some time this afternoon pulling the remainder of fenceposts which snapped off during a recent tornado.
This involved removing a fence panel back in the alley so we could pull a truck in there to pull the concrete-embedded posts out with a chain.
This evening, we made an abortive attempt to go see the movie The Dark Knight. Lines were just too long. When we returned to the house, we had to let the dogs out, but Justin and I went to tack up the fence panel first.
Once done, we had to walk down to the end of the alley and back around front to get back in the house. As we approached the end of the alley, a large dog suddenly began barking and charged us. I drew my Kahr PM40 from a Don Hume OWB holster under my shirt, pointed it at the dog, and shouted, "BACK!" The dog stopped short. I heard a metallic noise, and asked Justin if the dog was chained. He said it was. (His young eyes are better than my older ones) I reholstered, and we continued on our way.
Later, in the house, Justin said, "It's kind of SCARY how fast you got your gun out."

Researchers are working tirelessly and new advances are constantly being discovered, yet every day, tens of thousands of our loved ones lose their battle with cancer. Sadly, we're losing nearly the same number of people today as we were 40 years ago. With researchers working independently, we're simply not finding solutions quickly enough.
What if we could share, integrate, and analyze our collective historical cancer research data in a single location?
The Project Data Sphere initiative provides an easy-to-use platform built to share, integrate, and analyze comparator arms of historical cancer trial data sets so we can learn from them and accelerate research. The Project Data Sphere platform is available to researchers affiliated with life science companies, hospitals, and institutions, as well as independent researchers.
The true power of this platform will come from an ever increasing volume of data and the continuing engagement of a diverse global community focused on finding solutions for cancer patients.
Imagine what will happen when the entire cancer community joins efforts.
