The Mardi Gras event worked out great. The planning and quick decision making of my classmates and I really had a major and positive impact on the event. I would like to say thanks to everyone who attended and congrats to everyone who help with the event. During the Mardi Gras celebration I was dancing around in my mask and cape passing out candy to those in the kirby lounge. It was definitely interesting observing people who did not know of the celebration before hand. The parents who were there were giving mixed signals, some were surprised and some were not amused.
Before the event I was involved in the planning and mask making. Also, Right before I went to the ITSS office and rented out an audio cart with great stereo that worked well in the space.

Over the past week I have been relearning my process and creating images. I feel that its a good start and the strength of imagery will get better when I figure out more ways to manipulate my brushes in a way that truly corresponds with the sketches I have produced. Here a taste of what I have made. Don't worry, there will be more sketches will used by next critique. I have made one that is particularly strong and will definitely be used in one or more of my final images.
Right now I am in the process of creating brushes in photoshop. I have also found photographs that i am thinking about using in my digital focus. Thirdly, I have been experimenting with already made brushes that I have used in the past so that my process will be more refine. My next step is to crank out a bunch of sketches from photos and from free hand.

Haven't installed the update yet, but from reading the changelog, I agree with your assessment. However, there were quite a few bug fixes in the changelog...just not the bugs that have been discussed/requested on the forums.
The nav button issue should have been caught by QA prior to the skin release, but having skinned SD myself, it's an error that could be accidentally introduced fairly easily while modifying other aspects of the skin. So, I don't think it's really that big a deal.

The Culture of Dependency is manifested!
Take the buses away, and teach the motherfucking whinging parents a well-deserved lesson.
All these "the-world-owes=me-a-life" so-called "adults" do is fuck and pump out babies, then expect everyone else to sacrifice so that they, the parents and their oh-so-precious children (brats) can be comfortable.
Fuck them. Losers. - December 16, 2007 1:59 p.m.

if the transport association were to engage me as their consultant, i will recommend at least a $50 raise. there are so many obvious reasons, and legitimate, to raise school bus fare.

To anonymous:
I think you need a new brain, anonymous, because it is obvious the one you are presently using is faulty. Either that, or the state education system has failed in its attempt to teach you comprehension.
It is redbean who has alluded to being hired as a consultant. Twice, to be exact.
I merely stated that with myself being an exception, most consultants are worthless. Not once did I suggest to being hired at all.
So there is no reason to fight, i.e. no conflict between redbean and myself.
Therefore there's no reason to go to Holland at all, unless it is to "relax" in one of Dutch's famous Bohemian and Rastafarian coffee shops, in states of "altered consciousness".
In any case, do take my suggestion seriously and replace your present brain ASAP, before you hurt yourself.
Best wishes for the season. - December 17, 2007 8:21 p.m.

If I were a defense contractor, I would hire you, redbean, as The Supreme Instigator. I'd then post you to the Middle East, to ensure that there will never, ever be a chance for peace. By doing so, as a defense contractor, I can remain magnificently profitable and stay in business for a long time.

8/02/2007 5:40pm--Both of my ISSA certifications were independent study. They were no joke though. The CFT work consisted of a good 3-4 hrs of written work a day for 2 months including case studies, exercise plans for specific persons, exercise theory essays, physiology descriptions, etc. The SPN (Nutritionist's license) I just finished was more work than the CFT. 8 essays, a 2500 word research paper using medical journals, 156 question work book (essay based also) plus a written exam. ISSA certs are a lot of work, but you will learn from them, and if not, you won't pass.
I'll have to scan my score letter for the SPN stating that I passed so I can receive a tag for it assuming it is the will of the Bullshido hierarchy. -

Style: BJJ/no-gi--I may have to look into their SPN and SSC courses. I've got a feeling that they hold no weight in the UK though and are not recognised by our governing body as Continuous Professional Development. A friend of a friend completed one of the big US certifications but could not gain access to REPs with it. This isn't a problem now but in a few years he won't legally be able to work as a PT.
I don't know if you have that in the US but we are required to earn 24 learning (CPD) points per year to stay with the governing body, REPs.
Do you subscribe to PT on the net? I know a lot of it is out there already but it's nice to have it all in one place.Last edited by spirez; 8/03/2007 2:54am at .

Machines have their place but are, for the most part, crap. If you want me to send you the guidelines for assessment then pop me a PM and I'll be more than happy to send them along. The level 2 instructor course hardly touches on dynamic stretching other than a brief definition and we aren't required to demonstrate such things for asessment.

Thank you all!
Before continuing I would like to thank my Dad for his help in planning our route and transferring it to the Zumo.
Day two, 01.06.08, from Lvov to Kiev
We woke up early and met with Oleg in front of our hostel. It was time to take some pictures of old city and go to breakfast.
Oleg told us that there is scene in LWR when Charlie and Ewan are pushing their bikes in hotel reception. Scene was shot in Lvov in front of George Hotel, so we can't miss opportunity to took some photographs of that "historic" place.
Frankly, I can't remember the scene and don't have DVDs at hand.
More photographs of the old part of the city.
After breakfast we parted ways with Oleg and headed towards Kiev. Oleg, Thank you!
Well, it was time to be stopped by police. We knew that we can be stopped anytime, and that policeman will demand small bribes. That is exactly what happened. They told us that we were speeding, driving 72 in 50 km/h zone. We didn't see any sign, and actually we were driving faster than 72. Our strategy is drive like locals and this was exactly what we were doing. One more explanation, we Croatians are Slavs like Ukrainians and Russians so we understand each other quite well. After some negotiations we paid 20$ and were able to continue. We were stopped once more that day, but Linza managed to negotiate 10$ "donation", we were getting better. Maybe it sound strange to some of you, but this is way it goes.
We met those friendly guys who were working at gas station. In Ukraine and Russia you have to pay for your petrol in advance. It took us some time, but after few stops we were able to determine how many liters we need. Good thing is that petrol price in Ukraine is 0,83 Euro/l.
This was first piece of military hardware on display along the road. As we found out it is quite common in Russia and Ukraine.
Another one.
Driving was completely crazy and we came from part of the world where drives had really bad reputation, so this was serious. Roads are generally in bad condition, and there is some reconstruction going on. There was enormous traffic jam in front of Kiev. As we latter found out, there was truck driver strike because of diesel prices. It was one of the most chaotic traffic scenes I ever witnessed.
Oleg's friend Sasha was waiting for us in Kiev. He rented a flat for us in northern part of the city.
Sasa's Skoda, unfortunately we didn't have pictures of all of us together.
It was late, so Kaso cooked us a fine dinner, and we agreed that we will visit center of the city first thing in the morning.
To be continued…
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Cold FeetLarry G. EpsteinBoston University - College of Arts and Sciences Igor KopylovUniversity of California, Irvine December, 24 2009 Theoretical Economics, Vol. 2, pp. 231-259, 2007 Abstract: Individuals often lose confidence in their prospects as they approach the `moment of truth.' An axiomatic model of such individuals is provided. The model adapts and extends (by relaxing the Independence axiom) Gul and Pesendorfer's model of temptation and self-control to capture an individual who changes her beliefs so as to become more pessimistic as payoff time approaches. In a variation of the model, the individual becomes more optimistic at an ex post stage in order to feel better about her available options.

30 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 28-35 within 30 miles
If you open my car door, I'll unlock yours.
I'm originally from NY (I've axed the accent - you're welcome) and have been in Colorado for 10 years now. I just returned in April from four months overseas, backpacking Asia solo. Now that I've crossed that off my bucket list I'm ready to start settling down a bit. I'm an independent, confident, optimistic woman, who has fun being one of the guys but loves my alone time pampering and catching up with my girls! I live for a good laugh, quality time with friends and family, fresh air and anything outdoors. In the winter I share a ski house with friends, in the warmer months I'm most likely rock climbing or: biking, hiking, camping, golfing or cruising on my cute little scooter. When found indoors I'm either painting or reading. Growing up my parents emphasized the word "well rounded" and I think today that ultimately defines me. I constantly juggle fun and work, friends and family, my scooter and my truck, beer and wine, mountains and ocean, fine arts and rugged sports, ripped jeans and black tie affairs and I do each very well!! Fast Facts: I love traveling, the unexpected and the inexplicable. I'm always smiling or laughing (often at my own expense). I'm incredibly modest and loyal to a flaw. I'm an awful dancer and singer but (unfortunately) that seldom stops me - life's too short - right?! I'm probably the nicest person you'll ever meet but I have strong head and a great ability to read people. I love spending time with those that are important to me, so I have very few acquaintances and lots of close friends. I don't sit still well but that's because I prefer to be on the go, (I'd rather play than be on the sidelines). I come from a large family, so my most favorite people on earth are my big and little brothers. I literally can't resist jumping into the ocean when I see it! I'm energetic, wildly enthusiastic and really love life! I'm looking for a nice, good, guy who's ambitious, funny, and a family man. He's spontaneous and knows what he wants in a relationship and in life. He's someone who wants a partner to push, encourage and challenge him but at the same time bring out his inner child, his fun side and remind him that butterflies should still exist

Any and every place: from CO camping to Asia and everywhere in between excites me! Locally, I'm sucker for the parks, the mountains, any kind of 'ethnic' food or food trucks, red rocks and low key bars.

live music, painting, comedy shows, apples to apples, puppies, scooters, picnics, getting lost, cookies, fresh snow, sunny days, happy hours typically make me pretty happy, cowboy boots, lightening bugs, fireworks, campfires and roller coasters.
I sit at a desk all week, so fun to me is anything outside and active: rock climbing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, camping, golf, traveling, the arts, movies (on a rainy day), building forts, being silly, adventures. I'll try anything twice!

Raleigh approves AT&T deal for ultra-high-speed Internet service
The Raleigh City Council on Tuesday approved an agreement with AT&T that allows the company to begin rolling out ultra-high-speed Internet service in Raleigh and other North Carolina communities.
The deal also must be approved by elected officials in Carrboro, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham and Winston-Salem – all of which are cities where AT&T believes there is enough customer demand and local government support to warrant making the costly fiber installations that are necessary for such a network.
Gail Roper, Raleigh's chief information officer, said the city will work to help AT&T through the permitting process for installing the network of fiberoptic cables. "This is really a construction project in many ways, and we'll have to make sure we can get through our internal processes," she told the city council.
AT&T's gigabit service, called GigaPower, provides customers download and upload speeds of up to 1 gigabit. The service is currently available in only one market: Austin, Texas.
City leaders had strong praise for the agreement. "This a big step forward," Councilman Bonner Gaylord said. "It's wonky, but exciting."
The agreement was first negotiated with members of the N.C. Next Generation Network. The network, which also includes UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, N.C. State University and Wake Forest University, has been negotiating separately with eight private companies to build a "gigabit" network, in part by using existing fiber-optic lines, underground conduits and data centers.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Police say shots were fired at a good Samaritan who tried to intervene in a purse-snatching at a TriMet bus shelter in southeast Portland.
No one was injured in the Monday night shooting. Three suspects fled down a bike trail. Officers tracked them with a police dog and detained two people for questioning.
On Tuesday, the police said they had charged a 21-year-old man, David Toedtemeier, with robbery and a parole violation.

Title | Human rights and education for citizenship, society and identity: Europe and its regions |
Author(s) | Ross, Alistair |
Date | 2008 |
English abstract | |
This paper discusses how Universities, who train and educate professionals who work with children and young people, might contribute to the development of a citizenry for the Europe of the future. The paper considers strategies to help young people understand Europe, identify themselves with Europe, and feel that they can help frame the future of Europe. The identity and image of Europe in the minds of young people and their teachers may be very varied. Developing a positive sense and identity with Europe raises issues, particularly around those of European identity, which is only one among many possible identities (regional, national, identities of relationships). Europe is not necessarily the most dominant, and it is unlikely to be so. For young people, the identity of youth more may be more compelling and cohesive. The paper argues that enactive learning of citizenship will naturally involve enactive aspects of citizenship. This will focus on the involvement of young people in establishing rights in their own schools and societies, and extending rights to the third generation. Teaching Citizenship is learning citizenship through active participation – and is something that is done in partnership, educational institutions with and alongside a wide range of social organisations. | |

text: The Phreaker's Guide to Loop Lines by Lefty Carlson & Landau Ltd _______________________________________ Revised: April 5, 1985 A loop is a wonderous device which the telephone company created as test numbers for telephone repairmen when testing equipment. By matching the tone of the equipment with the tone of the loop, repairmen can adjust and test the settings of their telephone equipment. A loop, basically, consists of two different telephone numbers. Let's use A and B as an example. Normally if you call A, you will hear a loud tone (this is a 1004 hz tone), and if you call B, the line will connect, and will be followed by silence. This is the format of a loop line. Now, if somebody calls A and someone else calls B--Viola!--A and B loop together, and one connection is made. Ma Bell did this so repairmen can communicate with each other without having to call their own repair ofnice. They can also use them to exchange programs, like for ANA or Ringback. Also, many CO's have a "Loop Assign}ent Center". If anyone has any information on these centers please tell me. Anyway, that is how a loop is constructed. From this information, anyone can find an actual loop line. Going back to the A and B example, Note: the tone side and the silent side can be either A or B. Don't be fooled if the phone company decides to scramble them around to be cute. As you now know, loops come in pairs of numbers. Usually, right after each other. For example: 817-972-1890 and 817-972-1891 Or, to save space, one loop line can be written as 817-972-1890/1 (according to the Landau Shorthand For Numbers. This is not always true. Sometimes, the pattern is in the tens or hundreds, and, occaisionally, the numbers are random. In cities, usually the phone company has set aside a phone number suffix that loops will be used for. Many different prefixes will correspond with that one suffix. In Arlington, Texas, a popular suffix for loops is 1893 and 1894, and a lot of prefixes match with them to make the number. For Example: 817-460-1893/4 817-461-1893/4 817-465-1893/4 817-467-1893/4 817-469-1893/4 ...are all loops... or a shorter way to write this is: 817-xxx-1893/4 xxx= 460, 461, 465, 467, 469 Note: You can mix-and-match a popular suffix with other prefixs in a city, and almost always find other loops or test numbers. Note: For Houston, the loop suffixes are 1499 and 1799. And for Detroit it's 9996 and 9997. When there are a large number of loops with the same prefix format, chances are that many loops will be inter-locked. Using the above example of Arlington loops again, (I will write the prefixes to save space) 460, 461, and 469 are interlocked loops. This means that only one side can be used at a given time. This is because they are all on the same circuit. To clarify, if 817-461-1893 is called, 817-460 and 469-1893 cannot be called because that circuit is being used. Essentialy, interlocked loops are all the same line, but there are a variety of telephone numbers to access the line. Also, if the operator is asked to break in on a busy loop line he/she will say that the circuit is overloaded, or something along those lines. This is because Ma Bell has taken the checking equipment off the line. However, there are still many rarely used loops which can be verfied and can have emergency calls taken on them. As you have found out, loops come in many types. Another type of loop is a filtered loop. These are loop lines that the tel co has put a filter on, so that normal human voices cannot be heard on either line. However, other frequencies may be heard. It all depends on what the tel co wants the loop to be used for. If a loop has gotten to be very popular with the local population or used frequently for conferences, etc. the tel co may filter the loop to stop the unwanted "traffic". Usually, the filter will be removed after a few months, though. The wise and knowledgeable phreaker can use loops in many ways. If there is a person he/she wants to talk to, but does not want to give them their home telephone number, then they can meet on a loop. Conferences can be set up on loops. Collect calls can be accepted on loops. If a loop is unmonitered, then it can be called free from a pay phone (this has many good uses if you think about it). Therefore, loops can be a powerful tool if used correctly, and not abused. They can make a good phreak's life a lot easier. I hope that this tutorial is of use to everyone who reads it, and was enjoyable. We, here at the Landau Ltd Mansion, enjoyed writing it. Look for more articles, files, and tutorials from myself, Lefty Carlson, and Landau Ltd in the future. PS: Look out for a part 2 of this series. Of which, I plan it to include as large a list of working loops as possible. I'm not exactly sure how to do it, but if anyone has any ideas please leave me mail. Remember: Comments, critisisms, critiques, or er criteria are always welcome! ---> The End <--- _______________________________________ R. 1985/LL

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society
of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to
the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare.
Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Acad-
emy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific
and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy
of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding en-
gineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members,
sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the
federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer-
ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,
and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is presi-
dent of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of
Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in
the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Insti-
tute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its
congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own
initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V.
Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci-
ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the
Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government.
Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the
Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy
of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the
government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council
is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph
J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the
National Research Council.

Struggling to find sketching time/opportunities in my busy life... So tonight I drove around a few blocks from home to sketch a house... Should do this more often!
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Catching up again
So to catch up....
Friday night: Three little friends
been raining all week and I am starting to go stir crazy... I want to get out to sketch!
Saturday: Quick sketch while spending a day with a friend
Extremely quick sketch while spending quality time with a 'best' friend. Lots of things encoded into this sketch which makes it special even though the sketch in itself is nothing special.
Monday: Sketchers diet starting again!
I want to try and lose a few kilos before Xmas (and then put them back on again... I know!) so time to lose it the best way I know how!... yes... back to my old food diary - sketch everything before/as you eat it.
I find it incredibly therapeutic to sketch and eat at the same time. My diet might be pretty dull (protein shakes and lots of plain steamed veg) but it is so colourful.
I won't bore you all with every page but I plan to sketch everything I eat this week so that I get strict about the food (this weeks food also includes a high tea on Saturday so I will have to work extra hard!!!)
Monday night: Communist architecture and music
Like last year I am starting to really get into the ABC Classic countdown - this year it is 20th century works.
This afternoon post 4pm(when the live countdown for the day finished - Mahler 9!) I started catching up on the sessions that I have missed out on and was listening to Shostakovich Symphony 10 (which I don't know... I do like some of his other symphonies) so tonight while trying to re-listen to it online I sketched a great communist building (of a different era but still a connection)
Today Tuesday: Same old stuff!
I draw the SAME things ALL the time... I know! Boring for you but for me I get so much enjoyment from drawing and splashing paint around that I do not really care too much. Everytime it is different.
This week I am obsessed about follwong ABC radio's Classic 100 of the 20th Century. Each day I will record one piece in my sketchbook

111125 No escaping my 'liz-ness'
During a trip to the UK a few years ago a number of people commented that my work was a bit like Matthew Rice's. I eventually got one of his books and while looking through it thought that is was a little like a 'neat Liz' sketch. A little while ago I tried to copy one of his sketches
It was then that I realised that I did have a distinctive style.
I tried again tonight...I wasn't trying to do an exact copy... If I really tried I could do a neater and more more uniform version...but not on a Friday night when I am totally exhausted after a draining week. Quite a fun exercise and strangely relaxing for me. You can see that I am not too concerned to get the proportions right... But there is no way that I can escape my own personal style is there!
111125 This weeks sketches
A bit hard for Monday morning
A little unexpected adventure on the way home from church yesterday morning meant that I had a visit to a tyre place on the agenda this morning.
My brain was really struggling to divide the circles into 5...sometimes your sketching brain needs some warming up first....
BTW, I am continuing to enjoy my S&B Alpha book. I will do some real tests soon...
Tuesday: A TOY
A very rushed sketch tonight... want to get back to sketching the Spanish weekly challenges
Wednesday morning: For Simonetti
last night a photo of these treats was posted on my facebook page by Luis (Simonetti)- the sketcher who is soon going to leave the land of the pasteis de nata for a world sketching - - suppose he has to get a full dose before he leaves?
Of course I had to draw it this morning over breakfast. An important subject to test in my new Stillman & Birn Alpha sketchbook
Thursday: Hot and Cold
A page celebrating the fun weather we have been having lately. Last year I recorded similar changes in early Nov but this year is it late November!
a few dress patterns I have come across in recent days... if any one has some good blogs for me to start following let me know. I DO need to start sewing some of those fabrics I bought in the last few years

111121 Quiet weekend but busy Monday morning
Actually I will start with Friday lunchtime - a quick but expensive sketch
went into the $2 shop and saw a cute notepad with Australian notes...of course I had to stick one on my page and try to draw over it... bit of a crazy thing to do (I think the $10 note would have been better since it is lighter and more uniform in tone) Of course there is no mistaking this for the real thing as our money is plastic!!!!
Going through my sketchbooks too quickly...It is a bit of a worry...but I need to start sketchbook No. 45 tonight. #44 only lasted me 3 weeks and one day...and I don't feel like I have been doing THAT much sketching...but obviously I am. Last year the 120 page sketchbook lasted me minimum of 5 weeks.
This page (doing the same old thing over and over again) is the first in a Stillman and Birn Alpha Sketchbook. I am quite excited at giving this a go- the Gamma book which we were given at the Symposium, with the cream paper just didn't feel right for me but I can tell that this bright white paper is going to be nice. Stay tuned for my explorations with this paper – I know that there are some limitations with watercolour (like there are with my normal sketchbook paper) but it is SOOOO lovely to draw and write on!!!!!
111119 Testing out my Alpha Sketchbook - A new sketchbook paper is a great excuse to do a standard Liz-sketch... (I did a cup of tea sketch last night as well but I will refrain from posting that)
Nothing at all wrong with this paper on this sketch. LOVE the tooth of the paper ti write and sketch on!!!!
Visiting my new niece - Very quick sketches in between a nurse of my new niece (two weeks old today!) Of course she is gorgeous and it is so nice to have a baby girl around (so many boys born in my circles in recent years) Didn't get a chance to sketch her today...but I will some day!
Time to put my books back on the shelves -cricket on the radio and cicada's starting their evening chorus after a hot day is the perfect background for a long overdue tidy up... (I have so many books that putting my books away can become a big shuffle depending on what I want to have in easy access)
A little unexpected adventure on the way home from church yesterday morning meant that I had a visit to a tyre place on the agenda this morning.
My brain was really struggling to divide the circles into 5...sometimes your sketching brain needs some warming up first....

Back to Cockatoo Island
Wet and freezing cold... but I had a really wonderful day hanging out with Manly artist, Erin Hill and her sketching class at Cockatoo Island.
And then a detour on the way home
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
A new sketchbook started
After toying with some crazy and expensive options for my 2 week break over summer (Xmas-New year shutdown period here in Australia) I have decided to do something TOTALLY RADICAL...
I am going to stay at home!!!!
I feel that I haven't done my best work here in Sydney - my best work, when I get in the groove, seems always to be when I am away on a big trip – so I am going to make staying home into a big trip!
I am a little afraid that I will just veg-out at home watching the cricket and not doing much so I have started a dedicated trip prep in order to plan lots of exciting adventures! So stay tuned...
(BTW the graphic on the title page is a map of Sydney Harbour)

111112 Rome to Tasmania
Dreaming of past trips and planning future ones...... I was all keen on Tasmania on Saturday (impulsive Liz) but practical Liz who did a budget this evening has other ideas. Perhaps I should save my pennies for next years symposium....
Saturday, November 12, 2011
A vitrual model of Ancient Rome
look what I just discovered!!!

No lines!!!!
A shockingly different cup of tea sketch as a result of a radical work doodle today
I always keep a sheet of recycled paper under my keyboard for writing notes, taking phone messages and doodling. Today while waiting for something to print I picked up my waterbrush and somehow without thinking too much ended up with this wee tea cup on the page. I include the whole page for context and a close up in the top right corner,
I have been planning to do a tea cup sketch without any lines for a while now... looks like I did it today!
My sketch from last year- the first time ever I painted without lines....
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
111108 I got my USK Singapore Book!!!!!
Here it is... I got my copy of Urban Sketchers Singapore's new book in the mail today. It is truly amazing and me and BB are about to make a cup of tea and sit down to enjoy it. Lots of inspiring sketching and interesting info to read. Here BB points out to me photos of friends he has met - Paul Wang and Tia Boon Sim but there are other friends work in there- Don Low,Parka and more.... what an amazing and inspiring group of sketchers- the sheer quantity of sketching done in a short period of time is staggering. And of course we all know about the quality! Got to have a try at that splashing!!!!
Venice Breakfast
going through some photos today and came across this photo of me taken by Eza last Spetember...breakfast in Venice.
...ah! Eza miss you and sketching with you so much!!!!

111104 Prep for a challenging but self imposed sketching assignment
111104 Prep for a challenging but self imposed sketching assignment, a photo by borromini bear on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
You can read all the silly notes if you want... But I am going to a cousin's wedding tomorrow and really want to do some sketching.
Trying to work out which will be the best dressy bag to use – I think I will go for the red bag. I am not sure how much sketching I will do but doing this page and posting it is a way of making me commit to TRYING to sketch. Planning to get to the church early to sketch outside and then inside. The rest of the time I will probably end up being socialable. I am a little scared about even the thought of sketching at a wedding....
Was nice to sketch my bags again... And this is the FIRST bag swap since I bought my new bag back in June!

The Digg Effect Analyzed
Submitted by admin on Mon, 2006-09-11 01:19What is Digg?
Digg is a user driven social content website. Everything on digg is submitted by the digg user community, and after that other digg users read submissions and digg what they like best. When a story receives enough diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of digg visitors to see.
The obvious effect on a website after a front page digg article is the huge increase in visitors and traffic. All those digg readers can saturate the site completely, causing the site to buckle under the strain. The Digg Effect is the term given to this phenomenon.
