Wow, 2015 is just around the
When I started in photography
things were simple. Your
communication was by phone, by
mail, and in person. Your camera
lasted for years, as did your
other equipment. You went to
your state convention, Southwest
PPA convention, and the big one,
PPA National Convention.
Between the three conventions,
we had local guilds and very
seldom we had workshops. You
learned about methods, style,
and techniques to be better in
photography from experienced
people in the industry.
We knew the speakers were
carefully chosen and were proven
to be successful and could help
us succeed. Everyone attended
the tradeshows to learn what was
new and how to useit to better
your business.
You went home, implemented the
new changes and got better each
year. Everyone in the industry
helped educate the public what
to look for in good photography
with national ads in magazines,
billboards and in stores.
Today everyone is trying to
convince the clients that
whatever fads they can come up
with is wonderful. I
was asked about the qualities of
an image included in a session
and I had to respond that when I
learned, that was called a
mistake but today, who knows.
With the faster pace world of
today we now have so much
information in such a short
We have the Internet for
information and shopping, we
have Facebook that some
use for all of their
We have texting; instant
messaging, Constant Contact,
Skype, and we learn new software
every week. We have so many
workshops and events that it is
hard to know what will help us
and what will confuse us.
Some of the speakers that are
giving traveling workshops or
studio consulting have found
it easier to sell to beginning
photographers than to make it in
their own studios. We have to be
vigilant to make sure our money
for education is not wasted but
is spent wisely.
Southwest Professional
Photographers has the
opportunity to take a leadership
role to help our members be
In the upcoming years we have
some exciting events,
opportunities and support to
offer all of our members.
We have started with a new
slogan, "USE". Southwest is to
USE, Unite, Support, and Educate
the members of the PPA Southwest
Photographic District.
We have a new logo that you will
see over the next year and we
have started our mission to help
others already.
We went to New Mexico in
November to help their
organization and PPA members got
together with PPA CEO David
Trust. SWPPA supplied a slate of
speakers at no cost so they
could have a great gathering and
get their association back on
their feet.

Outside Supply is constantly working on continually adding more information to our RV solar information guide. This will include arranging the information in an easier to follow format. Here is some basic information that should be covered in this document:
- Sizing your RV solar kit
- Choosing a battery bank size for your RV
- Battery choices and types for mobile solar arrays
- Proper mounting for RV solar panels
- Determing the amount of power your panels will produce
- Matching a power inverter to your solar setup

- Operating your solar setup off grid
Getting started in RV solar:
Many times when we head off into the wilderness with our RV, we would like to have more power to extend our stay. There are several choices of power available to RV'ers.
These power choices include the following power options:
- Site Based Power (Grid Power) - Usually only found in improved parks and sites. Cost between $12 and $300.00 per night for sites.
- Generator Power - This is a great short term off grid power source. Running on generator has a few issues to consider:
- Fuel Cost
- Noise
- Generator Service Schedule
- Generator Bans or Schedules
- Battery Power - This is a great way to run 12 volt items in your camper. A power inverter can allow the running of 120 VAC devices in your camper. This is where a solar panel charging system can provide remote charging for your off grid RV application.
This article will focus on 12 volt solar panel charging systems for operating your RV off grid. Any time we discuss solar panels for your camper, know that areas that have less sun will require more solar to achieve same charging levels.When discussing solar panels for your RV it is best to start with the basics and work more toward advanced solar topics.
RV Solar Charging Basics
A solar panel in your RV can keep your batteries charged so basic functions like your water pump, 12 volt lights and other devices continue to run. While solar charging is not the most powerful choice when compared to running a generator, it is superior in the fact that it works without requiring any fuel except sunlight. It also requires very little maintenance except that the sun is required to rise every day to insure charging. (By the way if the sun doesn't rise, I think there may be bigger issues at hand, than worrying about your RV battery charging. LOL!)
It is also important to consider basic efficiency in rv solar applications. Use devices that use less power. Change lights to LED or use newer flat screen TV's over older less efficient tube type televisions. Also try to use less power overall. For example A light that is on may use 50 Watts of Power where a light that is OFF doesn't use any power. The less we use, the less we have to use solar panels to produce. So be vigilant about conserving your RV's power. See the section on RV Solar power Efficiency Tips.
A solar panel is best used to charge your battery bank. the more solar panels you have, the faster your battery bank will recharge. The more batteries you have, the longer your RV can run off grid. There is also considerations for other items in a solar rv charging setup like cables, brackets, charge controllers and orientation. See the section on RV Solar charging equipment.
WARNING: Many new so called RV Solar Kit dealers have popped up on the internet. They are selling home panels and low grade panels as RV grade panels. They will even claim that these panels and kits are RV grade. Be careful, trust the Go Power brand. It has been an RV Solar kit standard for over 10 years. Many RV dealers carry this brand for this reason. Carmanah and Go Power design their RV kits to be installed safely and reliably on RV applications.
A solar panel system for your RV will usually require the following elements:
- RV Grade Solar Panel
- RV Mounting Brackets
- RV Mounting Hardware
- RV Grade Solar Wiring
- Solar Charge Controller
- Battery Bank Connection
- Battery Bank
- Silicone Sealant for Permanent Installation
Installing a solar panel system in your RV may require the following tools and skills:
- DC Electrical Wiring Experience
- RV Wiring Experience
- Knowledge of Location of RV
- Volt Meter
- Cordless Drill
- Various Sized Drill Bits
- Jig Saw
- Stud Finder
- Hammer
- Level
- Ladder
The next step is purchasing the proper solar panel charging setup to match your needs. There are a few factors to consider including power sizing, physical sizing, panel efficiency and solar expansion potential.
Sizing the Wattage of your RV Solar Panels for your needs:
Sometimes the best way to size an RV solar system is to look at example systems.
RV Solar System Example 1
If you have a 100 Amp hour battery that last you around 3 Days. it would be best to recharge your battery every day to keep from over draining your battery.
So you would need to figure how many watts of solar you would need to replenish this in the solar hours in 1 day.
Lets use the 95 Watt Solar panel as the basis for our calculation. Lets also use 7 hours of sun per day.
So we use 1/3 of 100 Ah per day or 33.3 Ah. We have to replenish 33.3 amps in 7 hours = 33.6Ah/6h = 4.8 Amps. Here is the charging amounts for the Go Power 95 Watt Solar kit per day based on varying solar hours per day. As you can see one 95 watt solar kit would meet your RV power needs.
Solar Hours Amps Per Solar Panel Approximate Amp hours Added to battery 4 5.4 21.6 5 5.4 27.0 6 5.4
7 5.4 37.8 8 5.4 43.2 9 5.4
RV Solar System Example 2
If you have a 300 Amp hour battery bank that last you around 2 DaGo Power 380 Watt RV Solar Panel Kitys. It would be best to recharge your battery every day to keep from over draining your battery.
So you would need to figure how many watts of solar you would need to replenish this in the solar hours in 1 day.
Again lets use the 95 Watt Solar panel as the basis for our calculation. Lets also use 5 hours of sun per day.
So we use 1/2 of 200 Ah per day or 100 Ah. We have to replenish 100 amps in 5 hours = 100Ah/5h = 20 Amps. Here is the charging amounts for the Go Power 95 Watt Solar kit per day based on varying solar hours per day.
So we need 20 amps of charging at 5.4 amps per panel. 20 Amps / 5.4 amps per Panel = 3.7 or 4 Panels.
As you can see 380 watts of solar would meet your RV power needs. You would want our 380 Watt Rv Solar kit.
Solar Hours Amps in 380 Watt Solar Panel kit Approximate Amp hours Added to battery 4 21.6 86.4 5 21.6 108.00 6 21.6
7 21.6 151.2 8 21.6 172.8 9 21.6
Budget Versus Solar Needs:
Needing more Solar panels on your RV obviously means more Money:
The more watts of solar panels you purchase, the faster your batteries will charge and the more output in your system. However more panels cost more money, so most people get to point where they have enough solar power to meet their needs and not break the bank. Get as much solar as you can afford and that will also size your system properly. Since we must all live within our means. So if you need 3 panels, but can only afford one now, Buy the one solar kit and expand it as funds become available.
Sample Budget For Number of Watts of RV Grade Solar
|5 Watt Trickle Charger
|10 Watt Trickle Charger
|20 Watt Solar Charger with Controller
|40 Watt Solar Setup with Controller
|50 Watt Solar with Controller
|80 Watt Solar with Controller
|$500 to $550
|95 Watt Solar with Controller
|$587 to $650
|160 Watt Solar with Controller
|$700 to $800
Solar Panels Require Space:
The more solar panels you buy to add to your RV, the more space you need to install or carry them. More panels also require more wiring, larger charge controllers and also a better installation plan. In fact many larger solar arrays for RV's are designed to be set out once the RV is parked. This allows for better orientation of the panels to the sun and also allows for shaded RV spots since the panels can be moved away from the shaded area. They do not however charge the batteries until they are set out, unlike permanently installed roof mount panels. So find or make an installation plan or setup that works for you. I have included a few samples but more rv solar layout samples can be found here.
Here is a sample layout of an RV solar kit on a 20 foot RV.
Here is another sample layout of 570 watts on a toy hauler. Plenty of space left for growth on this 44 foot RV.
Wiring RV Solar Kits
Wiring your RV solar kit is always an important consideration. I wanted to include some information on the wiring setups that come with better solar kits. Quick connect MC cable setups are a must for ease of wiring and installation.
Here is how easy connecting an MC cable setup is on one of our RV solar Kits.
MC3 & MC 4 Solar Connector types:
- Array +
- Array -
- Battery +
- Battery -
You will need to determine the polarity of the connections coming from the junction box of the solar panel. I wanted to include an RV solar tip that helps you easily determine polarity of connections for years to come. This video shows the Go Power RV Solar Kit with 95 Watt solar Panel.
Expanding your RV Solar Charging System
Can your RV system Grow as your needs change. One of the things to consider is how many amps can your charge controller, wire and roof handle. I like RV solar systems that can grow to about 350 to 400 watts. This will cover many RV users needs. For much larger systems, a second solar system can be added using another base kit if more watts are required. This will give you some redudancy on systems. So if you have one system failure you still have one complete solar charging system running. It can also help with shading issue on larger coaches.
Adding panels can be as simple as a nice watertight install and using a branch connector. Here is an informational video on using these MC branch connectors to add expansion panels to a base RV solar kit.

On July 11, 2013, Governor Brown signed into law AB 116, urgency legislation aimed at providing additional relief to California's recovering housing and construction industries. AB 116, which became effective immediately, provides an automatic 24-month extension for certain unexpired subdivision maps approved after January 1, 2000, and establishes an extension process for earlier-approved maps. While the Legislature has extended unexpired subdivision maps several times before, the process established under AB 116 is more comprehensive than previous extensions.
Under the new law, subdivision maps approved after January 1, 2000 and unexpired as of July 11, 2013 are automatically extended by 24 months. For earlier-approved maps, cities have the option to approve, conditionally approve or deny a 24-month extension, depending on whether the map is consistent with the applicable zoning and general plan. AB 116 allows cities to levy a fee, or impose a condition that requires the payment of a fee, when issuing a building permit for an extended map. In addition, AB 116 reduces, from five years to three years, the period of time that a city is prohibited from imposing new conditions on an existing permit.
Holders of subdivision maps seeking extensions for maps approved before January 1, 2000 must apply at least 90 days prior to the map's expiration. Upon a submission of an application for an extension, AB 116 automatically extends the map for 60 days, or until the application is approved, conditionally approved, or denied, whichever occurs last. Should an application be denied, the subdivider has 15 days to appeal the decision.
Finally, AB 116 extends by 24 months any legislative, administrative or other approval by a state agency relating to a development project in a subdivision affected by AB 116 that has not expired as of July 11, 2013.
California's housing and construction industries are showing signs of life, but with statutory time limits looming and builders at risk of losing their approvals, cities should prepare for the extension requests that are sure to follow.

Thunder dominate Nuggets 106-89, take 2-0 lead
OKLAHOMA CITY The Oklahoma City Thunder are more than just Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Way more.
A game after scoring a combined 72 points, Oklahoma City's All-Star duo got plenty of help from the rest of the Thunder to build a commanding first-half lead and beat the Denver Nuggets 106-89 in Game 2 on Wednesday night.
The first-round playoff series shifts to Denver on Saturday night with Oklahoma City leading 2-0.
"Everybody chipped in tonight," said Durant, the NBA's scoring champion the past two seasons. "That's what we're going to need."
Durant scored 23 points and Westbrook added 21, but everyone else contributed to a dominant early stretch that propelled Oklahoma City to a 26-point lead early in the second quarter.
Ty Lawson scored 20 points to lead Denver, which could only get as close as 10 in the fourth quarter before Oklahoma City put the game away.
"We gave them too many minutes, too many possessions of they were totally in control," Denver coach George Karl said. "They were energized, they were more physical, they were quicker, probably smarter. ... The hole was just too big. When it looked like we could get it under 10, a 3-ball would go in or an offensive rebound would break our heart."
The rematch of a series opener that went right down to the wire and featured a controversial non-call on a goaltending on the Thunder's go-ahead basket with 65 seconds left couldn't have been much different than Game 1.
Oklahoma City got a balanced performance, with James Harden providing 18 points and Serge Ibaka adding 12 points and 12 rebounds. Kendrick Perkins had 11 rebounds as the Thunder piled up a 41-19 edge on the boards by late in the third quarter.
"We've done it all year," coach Scott Brooks said. "You don't win the games we've won just having one or two guys. I really believed those guys were going to step up and score some points."
Nene and Raymond Felton added 16 points apiece for the Nuggets.
Denver made a brief rally to get within 86-76 after consecutive layups by Lawson and Felton with 8:33 to play, but Brooks called a timeout to get Westbrook back in the game and stop the comeback.
Oklahoma City held Denver without a basket for 3 minutes to get started on a 14-5 run that put the game away. Westbrook hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key, then stuck out three fingers on each hand, blew on them and stuck them down to his sides as if holstering them.
Durant let out a scream after leaping to slam down Daequan Cook's missed 3-pointer on the next possession, and the celebration was on.
But not for long. The Thunder are only halfway to their first playoff series win since relocating from Seattle, and there's more work to be done.
"If come with the wrong mind set, not focused and not prepared right, it'll be tough for us to win - especially in Denver," Durant said. "But I don't worry about that. I think we prepare right, our coaches do a great job, we go out and play hard.

Perception of improvement after orthognathic surgery: the important variables affecting patient satisfaction
- Jan Rustemeyer,
- Ziyad Eke,
- Andreas Bremerich
- … show all 3 hide
We evaluated which factors affect patient satisfaction and if patient expectations were fulfilled after orthognathic surgery.
Questionnaires consisting of 14 questions were given 1 year after bimaxillary osteotomy for class-III correction to subjects. Six questions were answered using an 11-point rating scale based on a visual analog scale (VAS; 0 = poor; 10 = excellent). Also included were seven closed-form questions with yes/no answers, as well as one open question for 'further remarks'. Sagittal and vertical cephalometric parameters were determined on postoperative cephalograms.
Seventy-seven patients (37 females, 40 males; mean age, 23.4 ± 4.9 (SD) years) responded. The intention to undergo surgery only for aesthetic improvement was noted in 11.9% of patients; only improvement of chewing function in 15.5%; both in 71.4%; and none/don't know in 2.6%. Postoperative satisfaction was rated (in means) with 8.13 ± 1.97 on VAS and correlated significantly with the opinions of friends and relatives. Facial aesthetics was rated 5.6 ± 1.2 before surgery and 8.1 ± 1.5 after surgery (p = 0.04). Preoperative chewing function was rated 5.65 ± 1.8 and 8.03 ± 1.51 after surgery (p = 0.014). TMJ disorders or hypoesthesia had no negative impacts. Cephalometric analyses revealed a significantly lower SNB (75.3° ± 2.7°; p = 0.033) in patients rating lower than grade 7 for overall satisfaction. For SNA and ArGoMe, no significant differences were observed.
The most distinctive factors for patient satisfaction after orthognathic surgery were chewing function and facial aesthetics with respect to the lower face. Function, aesthetics, and even psychological aspects should be considered equally when planning surgery.

Concept lamp blows bubbles for lampshades
December 20, 2012
The counterpoint is obvious – the most fleeting of "lampshades" married to that most long-living of light sources: the LED. The Surface Tension Lamp by FRONT continuously blows soap bubbles which, as they inflate and eventually burst, creates a dynamic lit environment.
According to FRONT's math, its Surface Tension Lamp will create approximately 3 million different lampshades over the course of the tens of thousands of hours of the LED's working life.
"A bubble is brief, and bursts at your touch," says FRONT's description of the project. "But while it lasts, it catches the light and reflects the room like a multi-colored temporary structure."
For a better sense of the lamp in action, see the video below.
Sources: FRONT, booo, via Architizer
only downside I can see is sticky soapy gloop getting all over everything...
also doesn't seem to put out much light for a lampAdrien
How often do you have to refill it with bubble solution?Slowburn
This would probably work better in an enclosed jar, a bit like an oversized lava-lamp. That could mean that the soapy liquid gets recycled many times, and doesn't cause a mess.bergamot69

Liverpool defender Steve Finnan has announced his retirement from international football.
The full-back made 50 appearances for the Republic of Ireland since making his debut against Greece back in 2000.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Republic team, with the World Cup in 2002 being the highlight of my international career," he told Liverpool's official website.
"But I'll be 34 when the next tournament comes around so it's the right time for me to step down.
"There will be a new manager coming in soon who will have his own ideas for the future with younger players having the chance to stake their claim to be in his plans."

If a Tree Falls is a rare behind-the-curtain look at the Earth Liberation Front, the radical environmental group that the FBI calls America's 'number one domestic terrorist threat.' With unprecedented access and a nuanced point of view, the documentary tells the story of Daniel McGowan, an ELF member who faced life in prison for two multi-million dollar arsons against Oregon timber companies. The film employs McGowan's story to examine larger questions about environmentalism, activism, and terrorism.

My Rating
Our Tour guide Amber Newman was excellent, very informative, flexible and read the needs of the group the itinerary was well planned allowing us to visit all the places we were interested in seeing with a good balance of organized and free time small group allowed great flexibility. We just loved the combination of flying and busing around optimizing our time in seeing and doing rather than long road trips. Highly recommend

I am a big tea drinker and this tea rocked my world upside down. I will admit I was pretty hesitant to try it--coconut, lemongrass, ginger and vanilla seems like a strange combination. But somehow, it all comes together perfectly.
I haven't been wowed to the point where I had to come here and buy anything yet that I recieved in my BirchBox...until now! =]
The smell from this tea was amazing. I loved the teabag and the large pieces of woods and citrus zest that were visible. However, despite steeping for 5 min, the tea itself was quite pale and weak and had little flavor. I was somewhat disappointed, but I have other flavors to try.3

Cristiano Ronaldo
Nelson: The simple game of soccer unites a divided worldAcross Ukraine, Nigeria, Iraq and Syria, the world slips backward into chaos. Increasingly, as the Irish poet W.B. Yeats wrote almost a century ago, the centre doesn't hold, innocence is drowned and anarchy seems loosed upon the world.
Simeone's crew take aim at Champions League crownDuring his playing days for a variety of clubs and most memorably the Argentine national team, Diego Simeone once described his style as like "holding a knife between his teeth." No refined string-puller; nobody's idea of a Pirlo or an Iniesta. A good, tough, uncompromising midfielder. Capable enough, anyway, to break deity Diego Maradona's international-appearance record for La Albiceleste, to play in three World Cups and gain a reputation as an all-in, all-the-time sort. Indomitable. Relentless.

Pakistani Madrassa Names Its Library For Osama Bin Laden
A sign now outside the small library at a religious school for girls in Pakistan's capital says the room has been named for a martyr — Osama bin Laden, whose al-Qaida terrorist network was responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that killed more than 3,000 people in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
"For us he was a hero of Islam," a school spokesman tells Agence France-Presse.
The school in Islamabad is run by "hardline cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz, the imam of the city's Lal Masjid (Red Mosque)," according to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper.
In 2007, that mosque was the site of a week-long standoff between armed militants and Pakistani security forces. It came to an end when government forces moved in. More than 100 people died. Afterward, there was a wave of suicide bombings, assassinations and other violence across Pakistan as militants struck back.
Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs in May 2011 during a raid on the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where he had been hiding for several years.
Earlier this week, Fresh Air interviewed New York Times correspondent Carlotta Gall about her new book — The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan, 2001-2014. Here's how the show described that book:
"Highly critical of Pakistan, it offers new information about how Islamabad has helped the Taliban in Afghanistan, and how Pakistan's intelligence agency may have helped Osama bin Laden hide out in Abbottabad, Pakistan."

Spring has arrived in Tallinn and it's certainly a welcome change for locals and visitors alike, although to be true , winter never really showed up in our medieval town this year. The birds are chirping, the flowers are popping up and everyone's feeling rather chipper. Restaurants in the centre are already putting chairs and tables out on the sidewalks and the city's lovely ladies are also dressing the part.
Always looking for ways to improve and bring more excit ing things to explore for our reader, we've put together a feature on the picturesque Viimsi area - located just a short distance to the north-east of Tallinn. You can discover more about it and fi nd some compelling reasons to visit on page 35. We also have a feature on the hip and happening Kala- maja area of Tallinn, home to cool cafés, some great bars, a weekly fl ea market, boutique shopping and a great deal of fantastic events. Read all about it on page 21.
As always, we have a jam-packed guide filled with all the newest bars, restaurants and old favourites, as well as a great big events list to make your stay more enjoyable and entertaining. Welcome to Tallinn!

We have a number of high-profile clients who pay us, and pay us well, to keep them out of the media – they simply don't wish to appear in the media, and we are paid monthly retainers to ensure that happens. They are concerned about negative, harmful media coverage and a major part of a crisis PR firm' s work is keeping stories out of the media. It's often very far from easy, as a reporter's job is to pursue stories and angles of interest.
This weekend, I, along with the rest of the world learned that I that David Rohde, a NY Times Reporter, had, thankfully, escaped from his kidnappers. I was amazed this story hadn't run anywhere despite the fact that many in the media world knew about it. Thank goodness he's home safe, but I wonder why the media didn't report this story. Would they have reported it had it been someone else's child, say, a Republican politician, or a celebrity ?
I found this quote from today's Huffington Post quite interesting: I wonder now if a great debate will break out over media ethics in not reporting a story involving one of their own when they so eagerly rush out piece about nearly everything else. I imagine some may claim that the blackout would not have held if a smaller paper, not the mighty New York Times, had been involved.
As a student of the media, I look forward to reading more in the days and weeks to come. Food for thought.

Nobody likes it when they kill people off on "Downton Abbey".
When actor Dan Stevens decided that he wanted to leave the show in 2012, writer Julian Fellowes had little option but to kill off his character, Matthew Crawley, at the end of season 3. Viewers hated it, not least because that episode was transmitted on Christmas Day in the UK – hardly a fitting end to a day of warm festivity.
Even worse, Matthew's death meant that his widow, Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery), had to go into mourning for several episodes at the start of season 4. Fellowes wisely kept everyone alive for that season and, if UK press reports over the last couple of days are to be believed, he's going to do the same in the upcoming season 5.
Actress Lesley Nicol told the Daily Star Sunday: 'There aren't any plans for any big characters to die this year. There has been such a big fuss in the past, especially with Matthew Crawley. I think it would be very unwise to do any more deaths because the viewers don't like them.'
And then the Mail Online reported that Fellowes himself has confirmed that there are no plans to kill anyone off.
No plans, of course, doesn't mean that it won't happen. Unless all of the major actors have been signed up for season 6 – which is unlikely – then one of them could decide to leave at the end of season 5. The consequences of an actor departing depend, rather quaintly, on whether their character is above or below stairs.
It's easy to get rid of a servant, as Fellowes did at the start of season 5 with Miss O'Brien (when the actress who played her, Siobhan Finneran, decided to leave the show). A servant can realistically go off to another job. It's much harder to get rid of one of the aristocrats without killing them. The Earl of Grantham, for example, is highly unlikely to just up sticks and leave the estate where he's lived for his whole life – especially leaving his entire family behind him. (Fortunately, actor Hugh Bonneville seems to have no desire to leave the show any time soon.)
But if all the actors stay on board, it's much, much better for Fellowes not to kill anyone off. Over its first four seasons, "Downton Abbey" has produced storylines big (the First World War) and small (Lady Rose's coming out ball). Viewers much prefer the small, genteel, reassuring stories – they complained in their hundreds when poor Anna Bates (played by Joanne Froggatt) was raped during season 4.
Quite right too. "Downton Abbey" is a very English place where everyone – characters and viewers alike – wants to feel warm and safe. Which means that slaying people is, well, just not cricket.

9.15 pm, Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Firing was first reported from Leopold restaurant in Colaba, Mumbai. And
this time, terror had a face. There were five young terrorists between 20-25,
armed with AK-47s and grenades. They began shooting indiscriminately. Police
later claimed these five were out of a group of 12 terrorists that entered Mumbai from Gujarat on one of the many Gujarat Fisheries boats that come into Sasoon Dock.
The police said they used an inflatable raft from Sasoon Dock to enter Mumbai shores via Gateway of India.
That is where they got off and dispersed in different directions. Initial
reports put the firing as gang-war. Eyewitnesses said some of them spoke Arabic,
and they included Nigerian or Somali mercenaries.
9:20 pm, Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Next, it was the turn of Nariman House, near the Bootleggers Pub in Colaba.
Two men on a scooter hurled a grenade at a nearby petrol pump which,
fortunately, missed the petrol reservoir but destroyed the facade of the petrol pump.
After which, the two terrorists ran into the Nariman House -- a building owned by the religious Jews' 'Chabad' movement
-- behind the petrol
pump. They kept a low profile there till
the morning of Thursday, November 27, till it became known that an Israeli rabbi
was among at least three to eight people being held hostage by them. "Ask the government to talk to us and we will release the hostages," the militant, identified by the India TV channel as Imran, said, speaking in Urdu in what sounded like a Kashmiri accent.
"Are you aware how many people have been killed in Kashmir? Are you aware how many of them have been killed in Kashmir this week?"
9:24 pm, Wednesday, November, 26, 2008
Another group of two gunmen meanwhile attacked the passenger
hall of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) with AK-47s and grenades. As many as ten lives were lost here.
Hordes of
media persons could be seen jostling for space as the area was cordoned off with
no media being allowed near it even as an encounter went on inside. Hundreds of
commuters were stranded as trains were cancelled. The train service would only
resume on Thursday, Nov 27 morning. The photo shows the luggage of passengers scattered on a blood splattered platform.
9:30 pm, Wednesday, November, 26, 2008
And then it was the turn of Taj hotel where they opened fire and hurled grenades
at the people. Evacuation and rescue operation continued through the night.
Blood soaked guests could be seen carried out into the waiting ambulances.
Bellboys could be seen rushing the injured out on luggage trolleys. Five minutes
later, at 9:35, it was next the turn of Trident hotel. Some cars were blown up
high in the air and other vehicles were also damaged in the blast which followed
the firing in the hotels. Windshields of cars parked nearby lay shattered in
tiny smithereens, even as fire could be seen raging out of the lobby.
9:30 pm, Wednesday, November, 26, 2008
A taxi blast rocked Vile Parle leaving three dead. Police suspected that in some cases explosives may have been kept in vehicles as some of them were blown to smithreens.
10.45 pm, Wednesday, November, 26, 2008
There was a blast in a taxi in Wadi Bunder in which the driver of the taxi
Wednesday, November, 26, 2008
At 10.15 pm: Terrorists came in a hijacked Skoda outside the Cama & Albless hospital
and fired randomly, both inside and outside the hospital, leaving five people dead
in their wake, including one police Inspector, two Constables and two watchmen.
At 10.30 pm, there was a gun battle outside Metro cinema hall where Additional Commissioner Ashok Kamte and encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar killed.
By 10:50 pm, the police confronted the two Skoda-driving terrorists at the Girgaum Chowpatty area,
and shot them dead.
Thursday, November 27, 2008
The famous dome of the Taj hotel, which is a landmark of the Mumbai skyline, was engulfed in thick smoke as the encounter went on and area reverberated with blast sounds and staccato of automatic weapons. Army and other forces engaged the militants in the main lobby.
Fire was seen coming out of the main dome and flames soon spread to other domes as well. The entire top floor was in the grip of heavy fire and severely damaged during the seize which claimed lives of several of its customers.
The flames were seen coming from windows of the top-floor as fire-fighters tried hard to evacuate the trapped and douse the flames.

Prosecutor: Officer left infant to die in hot car
"He allowed her to essentially cook in that car, hoping and praying that she would never be found," said the prosecutor, referring to Phillips as a "deceptive, double-sided man."
The first witness, Wright's cousin, Donna Leggett, testified that she had helped Wright with the baby's care and that she suggested that Wright approach Phillips about providing his share of financial support.
"I told her she (needed) to stop stressing and take the father up for child support," she said.
The courtroom in Prince George's County Circuit Court was crowded with Wright's family and supporters, many of whom dabbed their eyes and wept quietly.
Phillips, who was assigned to a vice squad, has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the case, police said.

Bri Bri wants to learn
Used to doodle many years ago in school. Last year I decided to quit my job and take my life in a new direction. So I started drawing :>
I'm currently at college learning different fine art basics and techniques like, how to mix paint..... I wish to learn all I can and push myself as much as humanly possible. It's a journey I know I'll enjoy.
If you have the time to crit me when you see mistakes, or have any advice whatsoever, I would be extremely grateful, thanks. I desperately want to grow and learn.

Some 60 second poses with brush pen. Is it best to keep the line flowing? Capture the pose in as few lines as possible? I'm not sure what is the best approach for this exercise. Should I be trying to capture the gesture without looking at the paper? Would that even have any benefit? Hmmmm....

Here are 3 of my first ever paintings in order they were done. All acrylic.
My teacher told me I should choose nature to begin with as it's rather forgiving. ( easy to hide mistakes ) or just easy.
I've go so much to learn with painting. Takes me forever to mix the colours and I seem to be a little 'obsessive compulsive' when I lay it on. Little strokes here, little stroke there.... Need to learn to relax and just throw the paint on. Main thing is.... I enjoy it
Last one was a 1 hour oil reduction exercise. I like this technique a lot.

Some sketches of a dream I had last year. ( cheesy I know ) Was into Lucid dreaming but could never be arsed to write about my dreams. Would rather draw them.
two 3 min speed drawings of Jack from 'Lost'.
Some of my first decent drawings done from head last year. Bit wonky here and there. Need to do some anatomy studies. Barbarian has like a 12 inch waist. Supermodel Barbarian?
Last pic was a doodle i did for a t-shirt print for a festival i went to at Loch-Ness in Scotland called, 'Rock-Ness'. Was my first doodle since I left school many year ago. Made me think about drawing for real.

Had to design something in college and use Photoshop. First I had to learn how to use photoshop. I had a friend who wanted a design for his bands album cover, so I used my college assignment for that, kill two birds with one stone. Gotta say i really enjoyed photoshop when i got used to the interface.
So much so that I bought a Wacom tablet when I was done and hope to do some digital painting when i get time.
All done from head. Not sure about the procedure..... Second design I drew out with pencil, then painted with Gouache then scanned into pc, then used photoshop. Seems like a long way for a short cut.
My mates band chose the first design.

you've got the right idea. dedicate a lot of your time to studying with references and getting basics of anatomy down. pick up bridgeman's guide and make it your bible. you can also view various andrew loomis books online via this link, which are equally important. i recently quit my job of 6 years and dedicated my life to pursuing art, so i feel your pain
if you want another sketchbook that chronicles accomplishment, check out mindcandyman. brilliant.
go go go goooo
The Following User Says Thank You to sourgasm For This Useful Post:
April 9th, 2009 #14
sourgasm: Ah thanks man, for the useful advice, links and encouragement. Yeah I'll order that Bridgeman book. Wanna draw from life as much as possible. Been doing some life drawing at college ( 2 hours a week ) and I absolutely love it.
The art demon has possessed me, I swear. I'm even drawing and painting in my sleep, I shit you not
Mindcandyman. Yeah before I Joined this site I looked at a few sketchbooks. Each one from start to finish in one sitting. Off the top of my head
Algenpfleger, Mr Delicious. Trevor, Hurri, CcSears and of course the legend that is Mindcandyman. These guys inspire the budding artist more than they will ever know.
I'll swing by your sketchbook when I get the chance.
April 9th, 2009 #15
those are all great sketchbooks. look up cole eastburn ellis (colepoopface) too. he made getting into ca.org atelier his goal, quit his job and then made it happen. i actually did the same thing, so I'm constantly pushing people who believe it can happen- because it sure of shit can.
if you do a quick google search, you can probably find a weekly life drawing session in your town. they generally take place at colleges and run about $10. if the model sucks, which happens a lot at that level, you can always just move around the room and do a shit ton of gestures.
anyway. good luck! i'm going to keep stopping by and check what you're up to
April 10th, 2009 #16
Hey BriBri
sketchbook's looking good man, I'm so excited for you to see all the progress you're making.
Keep working baby!
April 11th, 2009 #17
sourgasm: Belief indeed, is a very powerful thing. Thanks again for the encouragement bud.
Kihatsusei: Thanks sweetheart! You get practicing too!
OK... so here's some drawings i did last night. All from reference. Lets call them, observational studies. Trying to get some sketches down in quick time( No more than 5 mins each). Just trying to build confidence in line and accuracy. When I feel confident enough I'll move onto digital.
Imagine I may get a quicker response if I ask here. Can someone plz tell me how to add text to each image? For some reason I don't see the option Maybe I'm totally blind.

More drawing from last night. Maynard from the band Tool. Reference used. Another observational study. Started with ink then moved onto charcoal. Took just over 1 hour. One pic is artificial light with accidental camera blur ( which looks quite cool I think ) and the other, natural light. I like the different effect the two light sources have. Gonna do some anatomy studies soon.

`ej : Hey, thanks a lot buddy
Wanted to try and use my imagination a little. Chose a pose from posemaniacs and tried to draw a character of sorts. Didn't wanna spend too much time laboring over it. Figured, the more I draw, the easier it will get. ( I hope )
Crits greatly appreciated!

Lassabella : Hey, thanks
15 min life drawing. Quite happy with this. The hand is pretty poor. Need to draw more hands and learn to lay some tone in quickly.
15 min life drawing. She was unhappy at having to model for me after a hard day at work......
Think I captured this slightly Not too pleased at the drawing though. Need to keep practicing.

Really enjoyed drawing from imagination with the last guy in armour, so thought I would have another go. Didn't fancy drawing from imagination as I thought it would be frustrating. Well it's fun so here's a concept I came up with for a little story I have running in my head. No reference used. I can spot a few mistakes here and there, ( like robot left hand ) but these will get fixed when I develop it further.

Ok. So I want to start drawing from life as much as possible. Thought I would visit the pets corner area of a local park and draw some animals..... Got there and there was a sign saying it was closed and all the animals were now re-homed...... In desperation I looked to the fields, and at a distance of approx 200 yards I spotted some wild rabbits. So.... Here's some rabbit gestures.
Determined to draw some animals a little closer than 200 yards... I went to the Sea Life Center at Loch Lomond. There I spent ages trying to draw the otters. They just never sit still!! Sat through feeding time amongst the screaming kids...

those 15 life drawings are looking pretty sweet. drawing animals from life is really, really hard. good job on even getting more than a couple tries out of it
line confidence comes from repetition, so just keep at it. the brain is a bitch like that. it'll be very stubborn until it believes that there is some kind of useful muscle memory to be gained from the process, at which point it'll break and give.
stoopit brain.

Good stuff in here!
I really love your canvas painting of your niece, though I think it looks better at the first picture .
Keep it up!

Although the physicians involved in the case believed that cancers of the mesothelium were impossible, their examination of the patient in this case caused them to conclude otherwise.
