Title | Fire hazard testing - Part 11-10: Test flames - 50 W horizontal and vertical flame test methods |
Project Number | 23730 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 60695-11-10:2013 specifies small-scale laboratory test procedures intended to compare the burning behaviour of different materials used in electrotechnical products when vertically or horizontally oriented test bar specimens are exposed to a small flame ignition source with a nominal thermal power of 50 W. These test methods determine either the linear burning rate or the self-extinguishing properties of materials. These test methods are applicable to solid and cellular materials that have an apparent density of more than 250 kg/m3, determined in accordance with ISO 845. Two test methods are described. Method A is a horizontal burning test and is intended to determine the linear burning rate of materials under specific test conditions. Method B is a vertical burning test and is intended to determine whether materials self-extinguish under specific test conditions. This second edition cancels and replaces the consolidated version of IEC 60695-11-10 published in 2003 and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with respect to the first edition are listed below: - Editorial changes have been made throughout the document for the purpose of aligning IEC 60695-11-10 with IEC 60695-11-20, - Details on test specimen dimensions have been added to Clause 7, - New Sublause 9.1.4 Conditioning of the cotton pad has been added, - New Subclause 9.2.4 Evaluation of 'burned to the holding clamp' has been added, - New Annex C with examples of datasheets has been added, - The Bibliography has been updated and references added. It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60695-11-4. Key words: Test flames, Fire hazard, Fire test |

MORGANTOWN - It's been a week since West Virginia's basketball team opened its season with the worst loss in Bob Huggins' 31 years as a head coach. The Mountaineers have practiced a few times since and will do so some more before Thursday's opening game at the Old Spice Classic.
The Classic begins with a noon game against Marist in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Only then can they change the impression they made in the 84-50 loss at Gonzaga.
"I thought we'd be better," Huggins said. "I thought our returning guys would do a better job, but the honest to God truth is we started three of them who haven't played."
The Mountaineers started three transfers - point guard Juwan Staten, shooting guard Matt Humphrey and center Aaric Murray. Staten had one assist, two turnovers and went scoreless on six shots in 34 minutes. Humphrey was 2-for-8 from the floor and missed 6 of 7 3-point attempts. He had five points in 19 minutes. Murray led the team in scoring with 14 points, but he had two dunks in the closing moments.
No one else was much better. Murray (5-for-8) was the only player to shoot better than 50 percent on a night WVU shot 15-for-55 and had 20 turnovers. The Bulldogs had seven steals, 25 points off turnovers and 27 defensive rebounds to WVU's 18 offensive rebounds and generally won the hustle plays by getting to the ball first.
"We have a tendency to watch instead of playing," Huggins said. "We get beat to balls because we don't react. We just watch. We're trying to figure out a way out of it to do a better job guarding."
The 20 turnovers looked worse next to eight assists and many of WVU's shots came outside the structure of the offense.
The Mountaineers didn't do much in transition because of their turnovers and Gonzaga's scores, but Huggins didn't like the way his team played his motion offense when the opportunities were there.
"We'll be a whole lot better at the end of the year obviously because we'll have more guys learning how to pass the ball," Huggins said. "When you put the ball in everyone's hands with as many people as we play, you're betting on a lot of people to make decisions.
"That didn't work out very well for us and we're going to attempt to fix that and put guys more in position to be successful and at the same time continue to work on making the other guys better decision makers."
The motion offense essentially treats everyone as equals and gives the players chances to make passes to people cutting on drives or maneuvering to get open for shots.

Get rid of these automatic weapons already.
Words can't express how I feel right now.
Sick motherer!
I need to remember to thank Sgt. Miller (our school resource officer) on Monday just for being there every day.

Olympic Medal?!? Pfft ...
I'll just take the Cup!!!
I hope Satan has made a new set of anal beads out of whole pineapples just for this asshat!
... Hmm, I guess words can express how I feel right now.
My thoughts go out to the victims on this terrible, tragic day. All that potential cut short.
What kind of SICK RETARD walks into an elementary school with two handguns and a semi-auto rifle & just starts firing?
I'm numb.
I simply can't wrap my head around this.
I have seven nephews and nieces as you worry about those kids and that how they really had nothing at all to do or hurt those that would harm them. So sad and tragic. As really heartbreaken. Let's remember those victims and the parents, that lost them! Put them in the spotlight and not the killer or killers themselves. As these parents will never, ever get their kids back ever again!
RIP Geoff & Jim!
i guess the word here is heartbroken, sad day.
it's horrible and I feel for the families. what worries me, is the fact that I've seen so many (so to speak) of these that it's almost like it doesn't even shock me anymore.
Very sad indeed. My they all rest in peace. Strength, thoughts, and prayers go out to there families.
Thanks to Like2God for the great Avatar/Sig!

SIMFEROPOL, UKRAINE - MARCH 07: A man walks past a sign showing currency exchange rates on March 7, 2014 in Simferopol, Ukraine. Banks in Ukraine have begun imposing limits on the amount of money individuals can withdrae per day, and both the Ukrainian hryvnia and the Russian rouble have fluctuated strongly against western currencies in the last week as tensions in Crimea have risen. The Crimean Parliament voted yesterday to hold a referendum on March 16 to determine whether Crimea shall secede from Ukraine and join Russia. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

"Now, if Republicans think that I will finish the job of deficit reduction through spending cuts alone ' and you hear that sometimes coming from them ... then they've got another think coming. ... That's not how it's going to work at least as long as I'm president," he said.
"And I'm going to be president for the next four years, I think," he added.
Officials in both parties said agreement had been reached to prevent tax increases on most Americans, while letting rates rise on individual income over $400,000 and household earnings over $450,000 to a maximum of 39.6 percent from the current 35 percent. That marked a victory for Obama, who campaigned successfully for re-election on a platform of requiring the wealthy to pay more.
Any agreement would also raise taxes on the value of estates exceeding $5 million to 40 percent, as well as extend expiring jobless benefits for two million unemployed, prevent a 27 percent cut in fees for doctors who treat Medicare patients and likely avoid a near-doubling of milk prices.
Much or all of the revenue to be raised through higher taxes on the wealthy would help hold down the amount paid to the Internal Revenue Service by the middle class.
In addition to preventing higher rates for most, any agreement would retain existing breaks for families with children, for low-earning taxpayers and for those with a child in college.
In addition, the two sides agreed to prevent the Alternative Minimum Tax from expanding to affect an estimated 28 million households for the first time in 2013, with an average increase of more than $3,000. The law was originally designed to make sure millionaires did not escape taxes, but inflation has gradually exposed more and more households with lower earnings to its impact.
To help businesses, the two sides also agreed to extend an existing research and development tax credit as well as other breaks designed to boost renewable energy production. Details on those provisions were sketchy.
Obama's remarks irritated some Republicans.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona they would "clearly antagonize members of the House."
There was no response from Speaker John Boehner, who has been content to remain in the background while McConnell did the negotiating.
Some Democratic officials said that with his comments, Obama was hoping to ease the concerns of liberals in his own party who feared he had given away too much in the current round of talks over taxes.
Obama campaigned on a call for higher tax rates on income over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples, far lower than the $400,000 and $450,000 that Biden and McConnell have set.
Similarly, the pending agreement on the estate tax would allow more large estates to escape taxation than many Democrats prefer.
By late afternoon, the two sides remained separated by a stubborn dispute over spending cuts scheduled to take effect on the Pentagon and domestic programs alike.
Officials familiar with the talks said the White House has been seeking agreement to stop the cuts from taking effect, either for a period of months or a year, and wanted to count higher taxes created elsewhere in the legislation to offset the cost.
Republicans have said they are willing to delay the across-the-board cuts, but only if Obama and Democrats agree to targeted savings from government programs to take their place.

The Vandalia Gathering
WHERE: Capitol Complex grounds
WHEN: 6 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. Saturday
COST: Free
INFO: 304-558-0220 or www.wvculture.org
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Longtime fans of West Virginia's Vandalia Gathering will probably notice a few changes this weekend when the annual West Virginia culture and music celebration returns to the Capitol grounds.It's going to be a little smaller.
"You won't see the craft vendors," said Caryn Gresham, deputy commissioner at the West Virginia Division of Culture and History. "We'll still have those great food vendors and the young gun's tent with lots of activities for the kids, but the dance stage, where people can go and clog, won't be there either, or the Liar's contest.
"All of that is being moved to the Sesquicentennial in June."
It's also a day shorter. No activities are planned for Sunday.
Not everyone is going to be happy about that, but Gresham said with Vandalia's plans to take part in West Virginia's 150th birthday celebration June 20-23, it was necessary to scale back.
Fans of the festival aren't losing a day; they're actually gaining three. Plus Gresham said the June portion would be a great opportunity to reach out to people coming to Charleston for FestivALL, some of whom may not really know what the Vandalia Gathering is all about.
She said, "With FestivALL going on at the same time, we feel like it's a great chance to show people there's a lot of things to see here in West Virginia."

By asking this question I don't mean to hurt you or anything, but have you ever thought of wearing clothes that are more womanlike? It's like, maybe you'd feel more confident or sexy if you did. I've read here about your love for polo shirts, but, to be honest, they're considered as rather asexual clothes. Sometimes it's good to wear some make up or jewerely. Have you ever tried this?

Gluten-free Pancake Mixes, A Blind Taste Test
It is pancake breakfast season in the San Francisco schools. I don't live there, but I get announcements for these, and have been surprised as how many of these breakfasts offer gluten free pancakes. There are so many pancake options out there, which pleases my pancake loving kids. The mixes are easy to make in small portions, it would be nice if more restaurants would offer them too. It would certainly please the sweet breakfast loving crowd. Not sure which mix to try? Well, read on and get the results of a blind taste test.
We convened a panel of 18 tasters: Eight adults and ten kids, ranging from 3-8 years old. Tasters were given bite sized plain samples identified only by letter and asked to rate the pancakes and provide comments. Small kids rated the pancakes on a happy face scale. After samples, tasters got to make their own custom pancakes with mix-ins and toppings... My kids I think got enough sugar in their 2 massive pancakes to power them for weeks!
Overall tasters were surprised on how un-opinionated they were about the samples. Most found flaws in each and things they enjoyed about each, but did not feel like there huge differences. Artfully topped, most mixes passed muster. In fact, all mixes except three received both high and low ratings. Only one received all high ratings - Bisquick.
Arrowhead Mills: This received middle of the road ratings, with some noting that it was dry. In fact, the provided recipe created a batter that was too thick to cook, so we had to loosen it up. However, no off flavors were detected.
Bisquick: This newcomer received the highest ratings overall and was the only mix that did not receive any low ratings. Tasters appreciated the fluffy texture that reminded them of "real" pancakes.
Bob's Red Mill: This mix was rated in the middle of the road, with some liking the buttermilky flavor and others disliking the strong flavor.
Cherrybrook Kitchen: This vegan, allergen free mix was the overall winner for some, yet poorly rated by others. It is a very sweet, vanilla scented mix that reminded some people of eating "cake." The resulting pancakes are substantial and with chew - again loved by some and less so by others.
Gluten-free Pantry: Another mix rated in the middle of the road. Some found the resulting pancake a bit dry, but found the flavor pleasant.
King Arthur Flour: This newcomer was rated well, with tasters highlighting the fluffy texture of the pancakes. A few tasters felt that the pancakes needed more flavor.
Pamela's: coming into the tasting this was many tasters declared favorite. Indeed it fared well, but was not the highest rated. Tasters enjoyed the taste of this mix, with it's buttermilk studded batter, but felt the texture was not as fluffy as other mixes.
Simply Organic: This mix was the only mix made with some whole grains and the recipe did not call for any additional fat beyond the egg. However, tasters felt that the whole grain taste was too strong, and the pancakes were far too dry.
Trader Joe's: This mix, purportedly made by Namaste, received all around low ratings. Tasters detected a strong off flavor and did not appreciate the texture of the pancakes.
Homemade: This mix is a work in progress. I slipped it in to get some honest feedback. Many tasters rated this highly for its taste, but the texture needed work. I reworked the recipe after the tasting and it is below. It results in a very moist pancake with a rich flavor. Aaron said he really liked the flavor, but it was still too "chewy" while Isaiah liked the texture. If you want less chew, just swap out some tapioca for some rice flour or my favorite buckwheat flour.
Homemade rich moist gluten-free pancake mix
This mix is buttery, milky and has a slight malt flavor from the molasses. Just store the mix in your refrigerator or freezer and to make it up add 1 egg and about 1 cup buttermilk to each 1 1/2 cup of mix.
3/4 cup buckwheat*
1 3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup tapioca starch
1 3/4 cup white rice flour
1 3/4 cup potato starch
1 3/4 cup powdered milk
2 T + 2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
4 t salt
1 T molasses
1/2 cup sugar
12 T cold butter but into 1/2 inch pieces
Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend well. If your food processor is not big enough, blend the dry ingredients in a bowl with the whisk. Then put a few cups of the flour with the rest of the ingredients in a food processor. Blend well, and then whisk into the rest of the flour.
7 comments:
Great Post! Try using two eggs at room temperature. Separate the eggs and whites, add the yolks to your batter, and then whip the egg whites and fold them in just before making the pancakes. It will greatly improve the texture of your pancakes. Heck, yours will probably beat the competition! Also, have you ever tried using canola or vegetable oil instead of butter? It makes a lighter/fluffier pancake as well.
ReplyDeleteNancy - I have used the egg separation trick before. The goal here was a super quick mix I can have my 6 year old whip up, but I agree that folding in whipped egg whites really is nice. I prefer the taste of butter - my heart isn't happy about it but what can I say : ). We were trying to imitate traditional bisquick, which has the fat already added. My kids can just crack and egg and add buttermilk, water or milk and be done with it.
ReplyDeleteI noted that you did not mention CeliMix.
Is this because this is a Canadian brand and not available to you?
To me - this mix comes quite close to what I remember as wheat pancakes although perhaps a bit more firm.

Hanalei Getaway Information
Hanalei, which means "crescent shaped", is the name for the northern part of Kauai, as well as a bay, a valley, a lookout, and more. The bay, which is lined by the long and sandy Hanalei Beach, is a well known spot for surfing. The spaciousness, consistent waves, and the fact that there is no coral make it an excellent destination for beginners. A further out area, known as "The Point", proves to be more of a challenge and is best suited for advanced surfers. The Hanalei Lookout (which is just off Highway 56) provides a fantastic view out over the beautiful Hanalei Valley. The 6 mile long and one mile wide valley is home to the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge.
The Hanalei Wildlife Refuge was established to protect the endangered Koloa (Hawaiian duck), Hawaiian gallinule, Hawaiian coot and the Hawaiian stilt. It also provides habitat for migratory shorebirds and waterfowl. The site incorporates 917 acres of river bottom land, taro farms and wooded slopes in the Hanalei River Valley on the northern coast of Kauai. The site is closed to public use but overlooks from Highway 56 provide opportunity for wildlife observation and photography. Fishing is permitted from the banks of the Hanalei River.

i like your stuff. i dont really have many critiques but to keep exploring new things that you dont normally draw and keep practicing on the things that you do draw currently. i like your style, especially in the first batch of drawings. keep up the good work,
jus mi lil sketchbookie
When i started drawing again back in highschool i was so stuck in my way using practically pencil only and not being able to sketch, id be really focused on details and try to do everything first time through.
I stopped drawing for about 2 years after that too, i started up again, just sketching and trying to better myself about 2 and a half years ago, its taken about that long to finally be able to sketch comfortably and to not be quiet as retarded and use different materials.
When i realised it had been 2 years since i started drawing again it through me, i was actually disappointed, although its only been a year since ive been drawing remotely seriously. I mean... this time last year i was drawing for my interview and since then ive got through... 4? sketchbooks and 2 of those i practically finished when i started my course.
Gah, enough self hate!
So anyway, this was my take on Lyra. This was the project the dude from Lionhead gave us!
I've got more sketches buuuut they arent scanned in!
I did a more finished painting of lyra but she ended up looking a little too ... old and not quiet as sweet as i had intended. My sketch was better.

Ok, This post will be the last of my sketchbook for a while, my digital camera, which most of these are taken with, eats batterys. And i mean eats, i was lucky to get this much out of it.
I probably wont have access to the mega uni scanner till er, 24th of april so the updates that ill give will mainly be digital studies!
Which until i started watching the anime, Major, i was doing 1 or 2 a day... damn thats a good series!
So, towards the bottom is the more recent stuff in my sketchbook. Ive mainly been doodling heads in my sketchbook, its my way of neglecting anatomy because ive at least studied how to construct a head, whereas ive no clue on how to go about the body.
So anyway, i guess you could call this an introduction... I'll try and keep on updating for those who are interested!
jzeltman - Thanks, I commented on someones character designs the other day and i realised just how much i should push my boat out more and draw things im unfamiliar with. As of late ive still only really been drawing heads, which i feel quiet comfortable with!
Last edited by Jackwhat; July 1st, 2013 at 03:09 PM.
Your first batch has a fun outlined style which I love. Nice shading and sketching overrall.
The second figure in your last post is really nice. Even though it's reclined it has a sort of snap that makes it very appealing to look at.
It looks like they've got you doing a good variety of excrcises in college.
Most of the stuff i do in my sketchbook that doesnt get ripped out is just stuff i do for myself.
Thanks for the comment revender.
An a quick picture from today, i need pushing to do more environments as most of the stuff i do is people :<
More mistakes than you can shake a stick at.
I get a bit stuck when drawing people from a reference. When im drawing from my head i go about constructing it like : http://www.anticz.com/heads.htm
However when im drawing from a reference i try and draw what i see, with only a little bit of planning... i think i should still be trying to rough it out though. Frustrating
Last edited by Jackwhat; July 1st, 2013 at 03:09 PM.
So i neglected like drawing anatomy and shit which i should be forcin myself to do, instead i doodled!
Had something buzzing around in my head for a coupla days, this aint it though... its similar in theme though. The thing in my head is like mega fuzzy and involves stuff with... bodys... which i cant hack so.. meh!

A couple of quick speedpaintings.
The first one was coming on quiet nicely and about 1/2 way through i was quiet confident in the way it was turning out. Then i pissed it all away, oh well.
Second is a study? i guess. Reffed from: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26714723/
I was more concered with the pose and anatomy rather than the lighting really, i was painting on one layer in opencanvas as well so i couldnt easily change the background afterwards, hence - red. (gradiented in photoshop)
Both of em took about, er 50mins?
I'm a little iffy about approach to take, and ive kept my linework in these so excuse the mess. As of now i sorta rough shit out before i start slapping color in... makes me feel a little more at ease when ive got outlines. Aint sure if thats a good or bad thing.
The lighting is a bit botched in these but i was mainly concered with the pose, these all took roughly about an hour each, id like to get more done in this time really.
(I saw someone saying something about photoshops autolevels and how its good if it doesnt change anything. What exactly does it do?)
Sorry for the mishmashed face on the second one, didnt spend that long getting it sorted :< still, happy that the cloth looked ok.
Any c&c is 'elpful! Help the desperado!
References, in order:
2 More pictures!
I used a reference for them both and er, first one took about 1.5hours, i got really into it. Never got around to sorting out her body though so thats a bit fucked up. Second one took about 45mins. The tigers face is a bit titsup, the nose / mouth / eye aint quiet there. :<
Not done 2 pictures in 1 day for ages, been way too hooked on anime. Major is such a fucking good series.
Keep it up, man! Nice sketches and colour studies are here. You have feeling of form and your line is energetic. Study of a sitting woman with red background is just great. Cheers!
Some of the recent stuff from my sketchbook, finally got a scanner \o/
Majority of the stuff is liek, heads because my anatomy is too sucky to do anything else and i just like doodling at 3-4am in the morning!
My sleeping pattern is reversed at the moment :/
c&c appreciated

Ok heres a BIG update, ive not been doing much for a while now, got into Wow again and just lazed around towards the end of my holidays, hell now that im back im still being way too lazy.
Anyway, i could go into a lot more detail about what ive been upto but i really doubt anyones interested in that.
Past few days ive been drawing a lot more... maybe more than before, reason being is that im at my computer. I dunno what it is but I feel really at home at my pc desk with my music on / able to load up webpages... just keeps my mind busy without being in a stuffy room with myself and my head for company.
So, mainly doodles but ive started on the Loomis book... with a little more focus on learning, might not be the most interesting things to look at but if you can give me some C&C it would be much appreciated.
Last edited by Jackwhat; May 29th, 2006 at 09:13 PM.
A quick ear study! :o
Another update for today, I really have a hard time making my people look like those that im referencing, at least... in a short amount of time. I guess if i perservered theyd look a little more like themselves.
Oh well.
Wow REally cool studies!
amazing colors and your anatomy is really cool particulary that faces .. really cool.
My SB- Destroy and enjoy! !http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...77#post2294577
My portfolio http://ledd.carbonmade.com/
Nice studies, your digital work is not shabby either. Just keep practicing! That's what I'm doing now, I've been neglecting it alot lately.
Last coupla pages, first one made me think id leik mega regressed but i tried to crack on and fill it with pap anyway to hopefully get it outta my system, second one is a character i was knocking around with, theres some issues with it at the moment but ill carry on and try to iron them out. I was trying to keep clean good lines too but i guess that doesnt really show.
I think ill get around to coloring my second guy and ironing out his powarfist thingeh cuz at the moment im not entirely sure where i wanna go with it.
Color update of the previous picture, trying out a different way of doing things and its turning out really relaxing.
The metal is looking pap but ill work on that, its also unfinished overall, especially the face... Good fun!

Another update!
Someone on eatpoo took the time to overpaint it while i was doing this soooo im going to be updating it again when i get around to it. Been drawing for a fair few hours today and im hungry so ugh, laters.
Last edited by Jackwhat; June 1st, 2006 at 08:01 PM.
Ok, took some of the guys advice, i was too vain to go the whole length as I didnt want to scrap my lines, still i guess ive learnt something :<
Thats it for the night i think, will probably doodle some more later.
Just a quickish speedpainting, sorta inspired by hpx and others, wanted to keep to biggish brushes but didnt towards the end.
Weak will!
Gunna do quiet a lot of speedpaintings with the focus being more on lighting and keeping my brushes nice and big cuz i sorta lack at the moment.. i think.
I'd really appreciate some comments on this to give me better direction because im at a bit of a loss :<
Keeping with the... keeping shit simple theme heres another. Im glad how this one came out although from the nose onwards it sorta goes downhill, ugh ill keep it up.
Is it good practice to be using Greyscale to get a feel for value instead of color? Should i practice both? I should i get a feel for it in greyscale first?
It's great practice to use greyscale to get a feeling for value instead color! You get less distracted by different color hues that may or may not be the value you actually want.
Eventually you would move into color "color theory" (as I guess it's called) and your prior knowledge of value with greyscale with help out there a lot. Idiot_Apathy, for instance, has awesome color abilities, and check this out, we can see in greyscale stuff that his value skills are pretty darn spiffy as well.
I was looking for stuff on color theory a while ago, i remeber seeing a really good guide ages ago but i couldnt find it again. If i remeber correctly there was a picture of a rat/women and it was talking about the different values and moods, was really indepth.
Thanks for the pointer, browsing his thread now \o/
Could learn something about the amount of texture he gets into his pictures
For my artcollege project we had to design a seacreature, I think we are pretty free to do some crazy shit but i sorta bailed and did a varient sorta thing. I like the idea of gargantuan things, something insanely huge so im a big fan of the whale shark, only mine will be about 75 metres in length! So without keeping it just to one thing i shoved a manta ray in there too because .. they look fucking cool, not sure how it would work in reality. A shark/whale with huge wing like things, dunno if i want it flying or swimming yet.
Oh and ill try and update with more substance from now on, no more 1 picture posts, it'll be 2 (ideally more ) or 4+, unless i want a bit of feedback i guess.
These were my first attempts at something underwater and it shows in the first one more so than the other, i fell foul of the colorpicker a lot on the first ones because i couldnt get some areas of the water right, the brights/darks were ok but the inbetweens were a weird blue/tur...cant spell that color :p
(these are still sorta early in my head... im gunna sketch the stuff out so itll look more feasable, as is its basically reffed photos with little differences I cheated. First the ray second the whaleshark, both easily found on google, google.)
So, here the lovely is!
Love the studies you've done. Your colour work has really come on in leaps and bounds as well.
The last two look nice. Very ethereal.
Keep posting!
Thanks mull but im going to be a bit angsty and say otherwise, i really dont feel like my colorwork as come along that much... im finding it hard to eye color quiet a lot and have been coloring picking
As much as i want to get my skills up to par and study color and anatomy theres something else that really frustrates me. That is my lack of design sense, whenever i try and think about a cool suit/armor/headgear/shoulderpads/machines/beasts i get mentally constapated and cant shit anything out onto paper... I think too much about functionality and end up doing the same old shit. I wants to be creative! :<
Enough self hate and on with the recent drawings. Heres a few quick speedies, a quick "color picker" picture and a few pages from my sketchbook.
Since ive been coloring lineart ive been a bit more concered with how light works, so i thought id have a quick look at the loomis book for that.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A state senator wants to pass legislation that he hopes will mean fewer problem police officers patrolling the streets of West Virginia.
Sen. Bill Laird, a former Fayette County sheriff, said he plans to introduce an expanded version of a bill he introduced last year that would require police departments to report problems with officers to a central database.
The legislature's joint judiciary subcommittee discussed the issue at an interim meeting Monday.
Laird, a Democrat, said he wants to give the Law Enforcement Training Subcommittee of the Governor's Committee on Crime, Delinquency and Corrections the ability to investigate potential problem officers as well as decertify them.
"Just a few people can reflect poorly on the profession," Laird said.
State Police 1st. Sgt. Curtis Tilley, who heads the subcommittee, told legislators that officers in West Virginia are only decertified if they have been convicted of a jailable offense.
Courts have deemed decertification similar to taking away property rights, Tilley said.
"We've been told as a committee that we need to have proof that the action was committed," he said. "The problem we have as a committee is in obtaining that proof.
"There's nothing that requires that actions be reported," he said. "We only find out if it's public record or through the news media."
But Laird noted when lawmakers made rules for the committee, they said an officer's certification could be revoked for "conduct or a pattern of conduct unbecoming to an officer or activities that would tend to disrupt, diminish, or otherwise jeopardize public trust and fidelity in law enforcement."
"That does not seem to be a bright line. That seems to be pretty pliable," Laird said. "It seems from the language of the legislative rule that you've got the authority, but it seems you might be reluctant to pull the trigger."
Tilley said that the committee doesn't have the staff or ability currently to investigate officers and find out whether they should be decertified. It's up to individual departments to make the subcommittee aware of a situation, he said.
The committee has decertified at least six police officers in 2010. Just seven officers were decertified between July 2005 and the end of 2009.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The Dominus 2009 exemplifies the finest qualities of Cabernet Sauvignon from an ideal vintage. The nose, at once powerful yet restrained, is dense and filled with pure dark berry fruit and hints of sandalwood. On the palate is a harmonious blend of fresh plum and focused minerality with tannins that are firm, round and elegant. Spherical in quality, this wine is complete from start to finish. A sublime vintage.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot
"The 2009 Dominus saw about 40% new oak compared to the 20% for Napanook. A seamless classic, it offers a symphony of red and black currants, Asian plum sauce, lavender, and underbrush. Sweet Christmas fruitcake characteristics emerge from this magnificent Dominus that finished at 14.5% natural alcohol (slightly higher than usual). The seamless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol, the brilliant length and overall compelling complexity and richness make it one of the great classics from this historic estate. It should drink well for 20-25 years. " 97 Points The Wine Advocate
"The 2009 Dominus has closed down quite a bit since I last tasted it. Today, all of the glorious fruit of the vintage is hiding behind a serious wall of tannin. The 2009 still possesses gorgeous inner perfume and plenty of sweetness, but little of the sexiness that will emerge over time. From time to time, the utter genius of the 2009 shows a glimpse of its potential. There is little doubt the 2009 will be a jewel once it awakens from what might very well be a long slumber. This is another wine that begs for patience. The 2009 is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot." 97 Points Vinous / Antonio Galloni
"Good ruby-red color, more saturated than the Napanook. Knockout floral lift to the aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, blond tobacco, almond and mint. Suave, savory and extremely precise, with penetrating flavors of dark berries, licorice, minerals and cocoa powder. The petit verdot component acts as an amplifier of aromas and flavors, notes winemaker Tod Mostero, "like a good seasoning." Medicinal in a Bordeaux way. The finishes shows outstanding length, noteworthy juiciness, and firm, noble tannins. A great vintage for Dominus." 95 Points International Wine Cellar
"Delightfully harmonious given its intensity, with complex aromas of savory herbs, flowers, ripe and dried currant and berry, crushed rock and cedar flavors. Well-proportioned, focused and persistent. Very youthful and vibrant. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2014 through 2030." 93 Points Wine Spectator
"I like the ripe fruit on this, with Armagnac prune and currants. Full bodied and round, with lovely tannins and a long finish. A combination of the 2006 and 2008. This has the potential to be better than the 2008, we will see what happens." 93 Points James Suckling
"While this is not the best Dominus vintage, it does show elegantly smooth tannins, dryness and earthiness that accompanies the blackberry and cassis fruit. It's curiously soft, which might limit its ageability. Shows an uncanny similarity to the 2000. " 90 Points Wine Enthusiast
Dominus is produced by Christian Moueix and winemaker, Tod Mostero, from the historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville. Their goal is to produce a Bordeaux-blend red wine with elegance, complexity and balance that conveys a sense of place.

Religion | Shia Islam |
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (Arabic: محمد سعيد الصحاف Muḥammad Saʿīd Al-Ṣaḥḥāf; born 1940) is a former Iraqi diplomat and politician. He came to wide prominence around the world during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, during which he was the Iraqi Information Minister under Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, acting as the spokesperson for the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and Saddam's regime.
He is best known for his grandiose and grossly unrealistic propaganda broadcasts before and during the war, extolling the invincibility of the Iraqi Army and the permanence of Saddam's rule. His announcements were intended for an Iraqi domestic audience subject to Saddam's cult of personality and total state censorship, and were met with widespread derision and amusement by Western nationals and others with access to up-to-date information from international media organizations. In the US he was popularly known as Baghdad Bob, in the UK as Comical Ali, and in Italy as Alì il Comico.
Before the Iraq war[edit]
Al-Sahhaf was born in Hilla, near Karbala to a Shi'ite Arab family. After studying journalism[1] at Baghdad University he graduated with a Masters degree in English literature.[2] He planned to become an English teacher[1] before joining the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party in 1963. In the early days of the Ba'athist regime he read out regular announcements of recently executed Iraqis on state television.[3] He served as Ambassador to Sweden, Burma, the United Nations and Italy, before returning to Iraq to serve as Foreign Minister in 1992.[1] The reasons for his removal as Foreign Minister in April 2001 are unclear, but his achievements in the position were often claimed to be less satisfactory than that of his predecessor, Tariq Aziz. At least one report suggests that Uday Hussein, son of the President Saddam Hussein, was responsible for the removal.[1]
During the Iraq war[edit]
Al-Sahhaf is known for his daily press briefings in Baghdad during the 2003 Iraq War. His colorful appearances caused him to be nicknamed Baghdad Bob [4] (in the style of previous propagandists with geographical aliases - some of them alliterative, such as "Hanoi Hannah" and "Seoul City Sue") by commentators in the United States. He was nicknamed Comical Ali (a wordplay allusion to Chemical Ali, the nickname of former Iraqi Defence Minister Ali Hassan al-Majid) by commentators in the United Kingdom; commentators in Italy similarly nicknamed him Alì il Comico.
Al-Sahhaf said that Americans and British were attacking civilians: "They bombed civilian neighborhoods and those cowards used cluster bombs." [5] He denied that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which is consistent with what later investigations concluded. Allied forces did, indeed, use cluster bombs in civilian neighborhoods, whether by accident or design. His last public appearance as Information Minister was on April 8, 2003, when he said that the Americans "are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender".
He gained something of a cult following in the West, appearing on T-shirts, cartoons, and in internet phenomena.[6] In the UK, a DVD documentary was sold about his exploits and televised interviews, called "Comical Ali".
Post-war life[edit]
On June 25, 2003, the British newspaper The Daily Mirror reported that al-Sahhaf had been captured by coalition troops at a roadblock in Baghdad.[7] The report was not confirmed by military authorities and was denied by al-Sahhaf's family through Abu Dhabi TV. The next day al-Sahhaf himself recorded an interview for the Dubai-based al-Arabiya news channel.[8] Al-Sahhaf said that he had surrendered to US forces, had been interrogated by them and released.[9] He was reportedly paid as much as $200,000 for the television interview, during which he appeared very withdrawn in contrast with the bombastic persona he projected during the war. Many of his answers consisted of a simple "yes" or "no". He refused to speculate on the causes of the downfall of the Iraqi government and answered only "history will tell" when asked if video clips purporting to prove that Saddam Hussein was alive were genuine, amid speculation at that time that Hussein had been killed during the war.
His fame quickly evaporated as the war continued into the insurgency phase; from the middle of 2003 onward, he faded from the public spotlight, and was no longer a figure in the war.
Although questioned by American authorities, al-Sahhaf was released, and there has been no suggestion of charging or detaining him for his role in the Saddam Hussein government. He is now living in the United Arab Emirates with his family.[citation needed]
When asked where he had got his information he replied, "authentic sources—many authentic sources".[10] He pointed out that he "was a professional, doing his job".

man united needs to sing an african player that would do it for me the next season just one african player pleeeeeaaaaseeee
Chicharito has great tenacity
Never gives up on scoring, no doubt, the best signing of season 2010/2011
Never gives up on scoring, no doubt, the best signing of season 2010/2011
Schalke wa very disappointing considering what they did to Inter. Great game by Chicharito. The kid just wants to keep scoring. Ready for the second leg, and hoping Schalke doesn't do to us what they did to Inter at their place.
Wow Barca have really pissed the footballing world off if the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and even Liverpool fans are coming here to support us in the final (should we reach it).
Thanks guys it means a lot, well do our best!
Thanks guys it means a lot, well do our best!
It's because they never get through fairly. Chelsea and Arsenal is a given because they have lost to them in unfair circumstances but from Liverpool fans? lol I don't know, i think they like to support a good performance when they see one :D
Really good game. Was watching it live and it makes people ecstatic to see their team score 2 goals in 2 minutes. Felt bad that Schalke 04 weren't playing as well as they did previously, would've been amazing to see an in-form Schalke 04 play an amazing Manchester.
i think we have chnaces aginst baraca if we can only stop messi .. giigs will destroy them come on utd
Man U was superb dominating the whole 90mins,Ryan giggs played like a 20-year old player.Rooney is now getting better at each match.But the best player should be awarded to Manuel Neuer,he was such an excellent goal-keeper I really hope Man U would sign him for next season to replace Edwin Van Der Sar who will retire next season! Kudos to Man U for securing a place for the final with Barcelona at Wembley
the way nani and valencia play is different wen can c valencia creating chances for team mates were nani go for glory.!! thats the main difference between nani and valencia. valencia has always been a get boost on right wing... and i think nani shld nt cry for goals nw... !
I think Manchester United will go through the final in Wembley....I am confident with that....Glory Glory Man Utd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....show the rest of other teams that we are the greatest team ever!!!!!!!!!!!
With park u get wat u pay for. but i thought Carrick and Fabio were terrific! It's amazing how Carrick saves his best for t champions league cause his standard in t premiership is way below par. Fabio is also showing that he is a force to be reckoned. T future is definitely bright for United. United 4 life.

Twitter API timeline question...
oh brother... get error when try to post a question here...
question re Twitter API user timeline:
how do I get user avatar?? I cannot believe that when you request a user timeline it doesn't come with a url to the user's avatar....
this is what I get if I request ONE tweet with this url
$tweets = $Twitter->get('https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=NewYorker&count=1'):
WHY is the user avatar not included here? it's included when you run a search.... why not when you request a user timeline?
man, I don't get this, this should be a no-brainer.... so how do I get user avatar?
urls posted here also don't work.. get exact same msg about upgrading to 1.1...
(man, I guess these guys have never heard of a "falling back" transition period or anything like that....;-)
thank you....

Hey man, me again
The URL to the user's avatar is included in the response - about midway down the file you posted is this:
Code:"profile_image_url": "http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/553327850/Eustacewbutterfly_normal.png",
There was a transition period, but it ended on June this year, when v1 of the API was discontinued. If you check the accepted answer on that StackOverflow question you linked to, there's a note about the urls no longer working:
Update: Support for this method has been removed from v1.1 of the API. Recommended practice going forward is GET /users/show and cache profile_image_url locally in your service/app.

man, you must think I'm a jerk.. I was confused with this JSON, http://mayacove.com/dev/tw/one_tweet2.txt
which I got the other day, I don't remember how, b/c I can't reproduce it now.. (no url for avatar here...)
that worked..... thank you very much... :-)
(there are two urls: http & https, which one should I use?)
another question: I have been reading a lot of about Twitter's guidelines and requirements for displaying user timelines (they're very strict.. these guys really do protect their brand..) they say things like you have to indicate if it's a retweet and if it is, display the user's name and LINK to their TW profile page... (oh brother..)
I'm confused as to how you can tell whether or not a tweet is a retweet...
is this it? "retweeted": false,
if it's a retweet, then this would be set to "true" and the name of the retweeter would be posted?
(meaning I have to check when I'm looping for whether this is set to true? have yet to see one that is a retweet....)
one more question (for now... oh brother, the more I do here, the more q's I have..)
it's also a requirement to post the "action" buttons (reply, retweet, favorite...)
I don't know how you create those buttons (there are no instructions like there are for "follow" buttons for example.. can't find anywhere.. (have successfully created a "follow" button...;-) (I can't just "firebug" these action buttons.. urls are "#".....;-)
thank you again very much, FB!! :-)

All your cards in one place!
By Abby

About Me Classic Dresser
Comments about English Leather Credit Card Case:
The biggest gripe I have about ladies wallets is there is never enough space for credit cards! And they're hard to get out of the wallet when you want to use one. I bought this for myself... it can even be used solo for a quick trip to the grocery store. And your drivers license fits on the front...no more digging for it.
Nice for the price.

The price is great for this item, plus a free one included! The only problem I have is the card pockets/ slots. While taking my card out or placing it in the plastic it easily rips. Though, perhaps taking time gently removing cards and placing them gently in could help avoid the problem.
An excellent value

This item has plenty of space for all my needs, not just credit cards but social security, driver's license, library card, medical insurance and everything I need. Plenty of room!

About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
Now that gift giving has changed, purchasing cards as a gift means we are collecting all sorts of restaurant, dept store, any commercial outlet, I at present have 15 cards all ready to use. this wallet keeps them separate and easily identifable in my purse.
Choose the black color if interested.
By Disappointed Dee
from Saint Paul, Minnesota
I am using the black one now which look good. The brown ones... no, no, no (it's ugly). I just wish the plastic slips opening for credit cards were located on the top not the bottom. It easily rip off if you are not careful putting back the card. It has a zipper anyway why have the opening in the bottom? I would recommend the black ones but not the brown ones.
If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied with a product, you may return it for a prompt refund.
