I don't know how to start painting
Wow, I thought I was the only one who's having this kind of problem.
I blame all the tutorials! Haha. But no, there's probably something wrong with me. The problem is as the person described below, I really don't know how to start painting. I'm just looking at both apple and my sketch and don't know what to choose for the first color that establishes the painting in the beginning. I've been following many tutorials but It's probably either they don't provide the information what I need or I'm missing something from them. Is there any book that explains what color should I pick first to paint depending on the situation?

How to start painting.
1) Pick up brush
2) Paint something
You'll figure the rest out as you go.
Maybe read a book later.

Unless there is an IED strapped to your brush, just start painting or just read a book and find out what to prep before painting. Sooner or later you'll figure it out.
Don't worry so much if you start off wrong, because you're going to do a lot of things wrong anyways, it's part of learning how to do it right.

If you have no critical thinking then you can't paint. There is no set formula for starting a painting.

Some of my best paintings are repaints over crap, and how I got there is a blur. Having strong traditional skills should be your first concern though, If you can't draw something, you definitely can't paint it.
February 21st, 2012 #9
Start with black paint and white paint. It's hard to have a nervous breakdown over two colours. You can represent your apple perfectly well in black and white.
When you get used to that add one of the primary colours.
When you get used to that, try painting in white and two complementary colours.
If you build up slowly you're not going to sit there at the palette with 20 tubes of paint, frozen because you're deathly scared of "picking the wrong one". You might also want to look into taking a basic painting course, they'll usually have you go through a progression much like this and get you used to your paint.

One thing I have noticed some artists do is that they lay down a very faint (glaze? underpainting?) color. Then build it up from there.
Like, they have a lot of layers to build up to the final color instead of picking a matching color right away. At least this will be my procedure whenever I feel confident enough to start a new "real" painting

Well, this is what my first attempt at painting looked like:
A few attempts later, it was beginning to look a bit better:
But you can see the real problem above: I couldn't draw, and you cannot paint any better than you can draw. So that is what I am focusing on nowadays. I'll probably try out some paints again later this year and see what happens.
Why not start a sketchbook thread and post some of you work, then the many skilled artists here can give you sound advice? I will probably achieve little more than helping you from the frying pan into the fire. But as others have pointed out, start with black and white, and move on to colour when you are reasonably comfortable with the monochrome. It's the kind of skill you pretty much learn by doing, assuming you can draw reasonably well.

Several reasons for this.
1) Warm underpainting, some of it might show through to the final layers, warm brown is a nice inoffensive colour that will not disturb anything, compared with say, lemon yellow underpainting.
2) Brown is a very cheap, very permanent earth colour. Some earths like Burnt Umber are amongst the fastest drying pigments available to oil painters. If you want it dry the next day, warm brown is a great choice.
3) Brown is usually a very dark orange, most Caucasian people are a very neutralised orange. It's a decent starting point for pictures of white people, assuming no crazy coloured lights.
btw, my initial answer to you may have come across as slightly flippant, but 90% of everything useful you learn about painting will happen when you are actually holding a brush..

Ah...you're talking about what color to make an underpainting? And as usual it depends on where you're going with it. Simply searching on "underpainting" turned this up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underpainting
It should give you some good leads for further research.

I mostly paint alla prima with opaque pigments so I start by sketching the general shapes in in whatever colour is not going to show through. Usually yellow ochre or cerulean hue because they're cheap and light.

My beginning painting teacher says, if you are painting with oils, you can start anywhere... because you can always correct it and paint over. This is the advice he gives to total noobs who are afraid to start.
As you get better and learn more, there's a lot more method to the madness, but when you are just starting start anywhere and start correcting. Most of the learning occurs when you are making corrections and adjustments - not when you accidentally do it just right.
General steps we did in my beginning painting class last semester, he had us do the underdrawing correct first, then start laying in some general values. First painting we did was black and white, so we can concentrate on seeing the values. Second was using the imprimatura layer. Again, good underdrawing, then imprimatura layer, with lights and darks, then we started adding color.
Third painting we did using more of ala prima methiods (not a real ala prima, where the whole painting happens in one sitting) but without using layers of paint and glazes, but going for the actual look right away. (I'm not sure what the correct technical term is for it. The teacher called it alla prima, for our purposes, but more advanced painters make a distinction between the single sitting or on location painting, vs something you work on few hours at the time, at home or in your studio.
Initial under-painting we called imprimatura in class: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprimatura
Most often, in classical painting we are taught they used Ocher, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Raw Umber and Burnt Umber, and is what we were asked to start with in class. For our beginning level, we were asked to make it around mid value, and what hue to use would be dependent on the general tonality of the subject. Also, you can mix the above to get the hue and value you want. On the long run, as you start using it, and learning how it behaves and how it affects your painting, you can vary things to achieve deliberate effects. On the long run, the teacher told us, you can use any color you want.... but they're not all going to give you the same results.

For me, one of the first things that I do is to tone my canvas (I hate the white little dots that show through). This also relieves me of the issue that I don't know where to start on the canvas to place my first set of marks.
When toning the canvas, I typically use burnt sienna just because I always want a warm undertone. If I'm painting outside, I'll tone the canvas with the general sky color.
Once the canvas is toned, I start laying down some lines (thinned with walnut oil) to indicate general positions of my objects. For me, the detail comes later. I just need to block in the positions. Once the lines are down, I block in the various mid-value colors of each area. So, by the time that I'm done with it, I have a general massing of my colors and my masses.
This is a matter of practice. I used to do a lot of value paintings. Color comes later. No matter what color you use, if your values and drawings are wrong, the color isn't going to save you.
If you want to learn to get the right color, create a color chart of your mixtures and hold the color chart up to each part of the setup. Takes time and you'll get faster, but it'll show you the colors that you mixed to get an approximation of what you see.
February 23rd, 2012 #20
You don't HAVE to start with an underpainting (and, as jeff says, there's a gazillion different ways to approach underpainting depending on what you're trying to do... For instance, Maxfield Parrish had his own weird multicolored approach that looks like a four-color separation, bright red under the green areas, bright blue under the brown areas, etc...) And everyone has their own ways, that's something that will most likely evolve as you progress...
Really, just start somewhere. Anywhere. Trying simple value studies in two colors sounds like a good idea... You could also try the approach one of my teachers used: basically we focused on setting down the basic color/value shapes straight on the canvas, no underpainting, and without worrying about layering or smooth transitions. It's a very simple approach to start with, because you're just laying down chunks of color as you see them and not getting involved in layering or building things up. And it doesn't matter which colors you "start" with, because they all end up side-by-side anyway...
The point of those exercises was to work over the whole image fairly quickly, trying to set down the basic overall colors, values and shapes of the whole image, and trying to see how they relate to each other to make the image. If that makes sense.
Try a bunch of things, see what works. The first thing is to actually slap some paint on the canvas, so you're not staring at a blank canvas all day. Doesn't matter if it's wrong, you'll learn by trying to fix it. And you can always throw it out and start over. You're not working with rare gemstones here... Make a mess, make mistakes, you learn to paint by making lots of bad paintings.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
It's FF6, I'm positive somewhere I wrote a review on FF6. So look around. It's a game that's a cult classic, those who love it love it a lot. Never gets old, and has the most characters and didn't trade of development or depth as a cause. Extremely long and takes multiple turns you won't ever see coming if you've never played it before.

APD/O has such easy blasting power that from the backcourt I'm more in my element, but having played around with the stunning quality Pro No 1, it felt... it felt like it bloody rattled and was toy-like and flimsy and bla bla bla...
And so to the mystery frame...
Pulled out my old PC+ Swirly and proceeded to enjoy it more and probably play better arguably than with the previous two... I most of all appreciated the stability, better accuracy and control (than the APD), and general b-line brilliance... but with its substantial heft, I know from past experience that it's probably too much to be a realistic primary frame.
My muddled thoughts right this moment are to actually look again at those Swirly PDs+ I have... I'd drop some weight from the PC+, as well as gain some serve wallop... okay, the build quality and other aspects I so appreciate in the Pro No 1 may be lacking by comparison, but, I've long suspected XL may be the way I should go. And as well as serve prowess, I think there's a bit more 'body' to these plus-size Babs...
I don't know. I need a cup of tea...
Ive mentioned it before but a leaded up Pure Storm may do the trick. When I had the PST and PC there was not a lot in it, I though Bab had done a cracking job of the GT's, the original was a bit flexy, although serving was super with them. I think you can make the Storm a proper beast as it comes in at 312 strung, you would have 30 or so grams to play with, creating the PC you want without the unweildy heft......

Because of the cross town traffic in Semipalatinsk the heat related problem of the KTM popt up again. So Terry shared some of his bikes amaizing horse power
with Rod's bike on the other end of the rope. Now the connection of terry's fuel pump gotten worse as wel.
Almost every time we stopped Terry had to wiggle the connector under his seat to get the bike going again. The pin comming out of the fuel tank was now letting fuel trough to the outside of the tank.
With the cooler weather the KTM started again after being towed for some km's. The bike did fine the rest of the km's we did that day.
When the rain started to come down after we zipped up heading for the border the road felt like covered with soap.
Out of nothing Terry made a nice unexpected dance with his bike, which was scary to see. But he kept the right side up
. So we took it easy for some time.
When we reached the first border crossing one of us noticed the KTM was missing its licence plate.( not a good thing when you are about to cross the border) So Rod and me drove back to search for it. We knew it was still on the bike a few km's back.
Allready getting dark at this time. So Rod was lucky to find it

Read the Man Booker Prize shortlist: The Luminaries, Eleanor Catton
In the lead up to the announcement of this year's Man Booker Prize winner, we're bringing you an extract from each of the shortlisted books in turn - and next on the list is Eleanor Catton's The Luminaries...
In which a stranger arrives in Hokitika; a secret council is disturbed; Walter Moody conceals his most recent memory; and Thomas Balfour begins to tell a story.
The twelve men congregated in the smoking room of the Crown Hotel gave the impression of a party accidentally met. From the variety of their comportment and dress—frock coats, tailcoats, Norfolk jackets with buttons of horn, yellow moleskin, cambric, and twill— they might have been twelve strangers on a railway car, each bound for a separate quarter of a city that possessed fog and tides enough to divide them; indeed, the studied isolation of each man as he pored over his paper, or leaned forward to tap his ashes into the grate, or placed the splay of his hand upon the baize to take his shot at billiards, conspired to form the very type of bodily silence that occurs, late in the evening, on a public railway—deadened here not by the slur and clunk of the coaches, but by the fat clatter of the rain.
Such was the perception of Mr. Walter Moody, from where he stood in the doorway with his hand upon the frame. He was innocent of having disturbed any kind of private conference, for the speakers had ceased when they heard his tread in the passage; by the time he opened the door, each of the twelve men had resumed his occupation (rather haphazardly, on the part of the billiard players, for they had forgotten their places) with such a careful show of absorption that no one even glanced up when he stepped into the room.
The strictness and uniformity with which the men ignored him might have aroused Mr. Moody's interest, had he been himself in body and temperament. As it was, he was queasy and disturbed. He had known the voyage to West Canterbury would be fatal at worst, an endless rolling trough of white water and spume that ended on the shattered graveyard of the Hokitika bar, but he had not been prepared for the particular horrors of the journey, of which he was still incapable of speaking, even to himself. Moody was by nature impatient of any deficiencies in his own person— fear and illness both turned him inward—and it was for this reason that he very uncharacteristically failed to assess the tenor of the room he had just entered.
Moody's natural expression was one of readiness and attention. His grey eyes were large and unblinking, and his supple, boyish mouth was usually poised in an expression of polite concern. His hair inclined to a tight curl; it had fallen in ringlets to his shoulders in his youth, but now he wore it close against his skull, parted on the side and combed flat with a sweet-smelling pomade that darkened its golden hue to an oily brown. His brow and cheeks were square, his nose straight, and his complexion smooth. He was not quite eight-and-twenty, still swift and exact in his motions, and possessed of the kind of roguish, unsullied vigour that conveys neither gullibility nor guile. He presented himself in the manner of a discreet and quick-minded butler, and as a consequence was often drawn into the confidence of the least voluble of men, or invited to broker relations between people he had only lately met. He had, in short, an appearance that betrayed very little about his own character, and an appearance that others were immediately inclined to trust.
Moody was not unaware of the advantage his inscrutable grace afforded him. Like most excessively beautiful persons, he had studied his own reflection minutely and, in a way, knew himself from the outside best; he was always in some chamber of his mind perceiving himself from the exterior. He had passed a great many hours in the alcove of his private dressing room, where the mirror tripled his image into profile, half-profile, and square: Van Dyck's Charles, though a good deal more striking. It was a private practice, and one he would likely have denied—for how roundly self-examination is condemned, by the moral prophets of our age! As if the self had no relation to the self, and one only looked in mirrors to have one's arrogance confirmed; as if the act of self-regarding was not as subtle, fraught and ever-changing as any bond between twin souls. In his fascination Moody sought less to praise his own beauty than to master it. Certainly whenever he caught his own reflection, in a window box, or in a pane of glass after nightfall, he felt a thrill of satisfaction— but as an engineer might feel, chancing upon a mechanism of his own devising and finding it splendid, flashing, properly oiled and performing exactly as he had predicted it should.
He could see his own self now, poised in the doorway of the smoking room, and he knew that the figure he cut was one of perfect composure. He was near trembling with fatigue; he was carrying a leaden weight of terror in his gut; he felt shadowed, even dogged; he was filled with dread. He surveyed the room with an air of polite detachment and respect. It had the appearance of a place rebuilt from memory after a great passage of time, when much has been forgotten (andirons, drapes, a proper mantel to surround the hearth) but small details persist: a picture of the late Prince Consort, for example, cut from a magazine and affixed with shoe tacks to the wall that faced the yard; the seam down the middle of the billiard table, which had been sawn in two on the Sydney docks to better survive the crossing; the stack of old broadsheets upon the secretary, the pages thinned and blurry from the touch of many hands. The view through the two small windows that flanked the hearth was over the hotel's rear yard, a marshy allotment littered with crates and rusting drums, separated from the neighbouring plots only by patches of scrub and low fern, and, to the north, by a row of laying hutches, the doors of which were chained against thieves. Beyond this vague periphery, one could see sagging laundry lines running back and forth behind the houses one block to the east, latticed stacks of raw timber, pigpens, piles of scrap and sheet iron, broken cradles and flumes—everything abandoned, or in some relative state of disrepair. The clock had struck that late hour of twilight when all colours seem suddenly to lose their richness, and it was raining hard; through the cockled glass the yard was bleached and fading. Inside, the spirit lamps had not yet succeeded the sea-coloured light of the dying day, and seemed by virtue of their paleness to accent the general cheerlessness of the room's decor.
For a man accustomed to his club in Edinburgh, where all was lit in hues of red and gold, and the studded couches gleamed with a fatness that reflected the girth of the gentlemen upon them; where, upon entering, one was given a soft jacket that smelled pleasantly of anise, or of peppermint, and thereafter the merest twitch of one's finger towards the bell-rope was enough to summon a bottle of claret on a silver tray, the prospect was a crude one. But Moody was not a man for whom offending standards were cause enough to sulk: the rough simplicity of the place only made him draw back internally, as a rich man will step swiftly to the side, and turn glassy, when confronted with a beggar in the street. The mild look upon his face did not waver as he cast his gaze about, but inwardly, each new detail—the mound of dirty wax beneath this candle, the rime of dust around that glass—caused him to retreat still further into himself, and steel his body all the more rigidly against the scene.
This recoil, though unconsciously performed, owed less to the common prejudices of high fortune—in fact Moody was only modestly rich, and often gave coins to paupers, though (it must be owned) never without a small rush of pleasure for his own largesse—than to the personal disequilibrium over which the man was currently, and invisibly, struggling to prevail. This was a gold town, after all, new-built between jungle and surf at the southernmost edge of the civilised world, and he had not expected luxury.
The truth was that not six hours ago, aboard the barque that had conveyed him from Port Chalmers to the wild shard of the Coast, Moody had witnessed an event so extraordinary and affecting that it called all other realities into doubt. The scene was still with him—as if a door had chinked open, in the corner of his mind, to show a band of greying light, and he could not now wish the darkness back again. It was costing him a great deal of effort to keep that door from opening further. In this fragile condition, any unorthodoxy or inconvenience was personally affronting. He felt as if the whole dismal scene before him was an aggregate echo of the trials he had so lately sustained, and he recoiled from it in order to prevent his own mind from following this connexion, and returning to the past. Disdain was useful. It gave him a fixed sense of proportion, a rightfulness to which he could appeal, and feel secure.
He called the room luckless, and meagre, and dreary—and with his inner mind thus fortified against the furnishings, he turned to the twelve inhabitants. An inverted pantheon, he thought, and again felt a little steadier, for having indulged the conceit.
The men were bronzed and weathered in the manner of all frontiersmen, their lips chapped white, their carriage expressive of privation and loss. Two of their number were Chinese, dressed identically in cloth shoes and grey cotton shifts; behind them stood a Maori native, his face tattooed in whorls of greenish-blue. Of the others, Moody could not guess the origin. He did not yet understand how the diggings could age a man in a matter of months; casting his gaze around the room, he reckoned himself the youngest man in attendance, when in fact several were his juniors and his peers. The glow of youth was quite washed from them. They would be crabbed forever, restless, snatching, grey in body, coughing dust into the brown lines of their palms. Moody thought them coarse, even quaint; he thought them men of little influence; he did not wonder why they were so silent. He wanted a brandy, and a place to sit and close his eyes.
He stood in the doorway a moment after entering, waiting to be received, but when nobody made any gesture of welcome or dismissal he took another step forward and pulled the door softly closed behind him. He made a vague bow in the direction of the window, and another in the direction of the hearth, to suffice as a wholesale introduction of himself, then moved to the side table and engaged himself in mixing a drink from the decanters set out for that purpose. He chose a cigar and cut it; placing it between his teeth, he turned back to the room, and scanned the faces once again. Nobody seemed remotely affected by his presence. This suited him. He seated himself in the only available armchair, lit his cigar, and settled back with the private sigh of a man who feels his daily comforts are, for once, very much deserved.
His contentment was short-lived. No sooner had he stretched out his legs and crossed his ankles (the salt on his trousers had dried, most provokingly, in tides of white) than the man on his immediate right leaned forward in his chair, prodded the air with the stump of his own cigar, and said, 'Look here—you've business, here at the Crown?'
This was rather abruptly phrased, but Moody's expression did not register as much. He bowed his head politely and explained that he had indeed secured a room upstairs, having arrived in town that very evening.
'Just off the boat, you mean?'
Moody bowed again and affirmed that this was precisely his meaning. So that the man would not think him short, he added that he was come from Port Chalmers, with the intention of trying his hand at digging for gold.
'That's good,' the man said. 'That's good. New finds up the beach—she's ripe with it. Black sands: that's the cry you'll be hearing; black sands up Charleston way; that's north of here, of course—Charleston. Though you'll still make pay in the gorge. You got a mate, or come over solo?'
'Just me alone,' Moody said.
'No affiliations!' the man said.
'Well,' Moody said, surprised again at his phrasing, 'I intend to make my own fortune, that's all.'
'No affiliations,' the man repeated. 'And no business; you've no business, here at the Crown?'
This was impertinent—to demand the same information twice—but the man seemed genial, even distracted, and he was strumming with his fingers at the lapel of his vest. Perhaps, Moody thought, he had simply not been clear enough. He said, 'My business at this hotel is only to rest. In the next few days I will make inquiries around the diggings—which rivers are yielding, which valleys are dry—and acquaint myself with the digger's life, as it were. I intend to stay here at the Crown for one week, and after that, to make my passage inland.'
'You've not dug before, then.'
'No, sir.'
'Never seen the colour?'
'Only at the jeweller's—on a watch, or on a buckle; never pure.' 'But you've dreamed it, pure! You've dreamed it—kneeling in the water, sifting the metal from the grit!'
'I suppose ... well no, I haven't, exactly,' Moody said. The expansive style of this man's speech was rather peculiar to him: for all the man's apparent distraction, he spoke eagerly, and with an energy that was almost importunate. Moody looked around, hoping to exchange a sympathetic glance with one of the others, but he failed to catch anybody's eye. He coughed, adding, 'I suppose I've dreamed of what comes afterwards—that is, what the gold might lead to, what it might become.'
The man seemed pleased by this answer. 'Reverse alchemy, is what I like to call it,' he said, 'the whole business, I mean—prospecting. Reverse alchemy. Do you see—the transformation—not into gold, but out of it—'
'It is a fine conceit, sir,'—reflecting only much later that this notion chimed very nearly with his own recent fancy of a pantheon reversed.
'And your inquiries,' the man said, nodding vigorously, 'your inquiries—you'll be asking around, I suppose—what shovels, what cradles—and maps and things.'
'Yes, precisely. I mean to do it right.'
The man threw himself back into his armchair, evidently very amused. 'One week's board at the Crown Hotel—just to ask your questions!' He gave a little shout of laughter. 'And then you'll spend two weeks in the mud, to earn it back!'
Moody recrossed his ankles. He was not in the right disposition to return the other man's energy, but he was too rigidly bred to consider being impolite. He might have simply apologised for his discomfiture, and admitted some kind of general malaise—the man seemed sympathetic enough, with his strumming fingers, and his rising gurgle of a laugh—but Moody was not in the habit of speaking candidly to strangers, and still less of confessing illness to another man. He shook himself internally and said, in a brighter tone of voice, 'And you, sir? You are well established here, I think?'
'Oh, yes,' replied the other. 'Balfour Shipping, you'll have seen us, right past the stockyards, prime location—Wharf-street, you know. Balfour, that's me. Thomas is my Christian name. You'll need one of those on the diggings: no man goes by Mister in the gorge.'
'Then I must practise using mine,' Moody said. 'It is Walter. Walter Moody.'
'Yes, and they'll call you anything but Walter too,' Balfour said, striking his knee. '"Scottish Walt", maybe. "Two-Hand Walt", maybe. "Wally Nugget". Ha!'
'That name I shall have to earn.'
Balfour laughed. 'No earning about it,' he said. 'Big as a lady's pistol, some of the ones I've seen. Big as a lady's—but, I'm telling you, not half as hard to put your hands on.'

Rangers score 4 straight in 4-1 win over Senators
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Derek Stepan felt as though he shed a huge weight.
The U.S. Olympic center broke a 13-game goal drought and added two assists in the New York Rangers' 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
"It's a big relief," Stepan said. "I don't know, for whatever reason throughout the year you go through these little dips and valleys and you have to find a way to just get through it.
"It's like the old saying of getting a monkey off your back."
Scoring a goal will help Stepan's game, but he was quick to point out that the two assists were just as important.
"It definitely helps with confidence," said Stepan, who hadn't netted a goal since Dec. 20. "Confidence is a tricky thing in this sport. When you seem to find a little bit of it you have to try to build off that momentum."
The Rangers have won of five of six to help their playoff positioning, and New York is looking to continue to improve during its best stretch of the season.
"We've been talking about it as a group that points for the rest of the year are huge," Stepan said. "This one was no different."
After falling behind 1-0 in the first period, the Rangers (26-21-3) got goals from Brad Richards, Rick Nash, Stepan and Mats Zuccarello.
Cam Talbot gave Henrik Lundqvist a rest and made 27 saves for his 10th win of the season. Talbot improved to 6-0 in Saturday games.
Marc Methot scored the lone goal for the Senators (21-19-9), who received 26 saves from Craig Anderson. Ottawa had an eight-game point streak snapped (6-0-2) and fell to 1-3-2 at home in afternoon games.
The last time the Senators won at home in the afternoon was Nov. 9 against the Florida Panthers. That was also the last day that Ottawa was in a playoff spot.
"I don't know what it is," Senators forward Clarke MacArthur said of the daytime woes. "To even talk about it is just an excuse. We have to be ready. The other teams come in here ready at 2 so we have to find a way to be better."
Giveaways proved costly for the Senators as the Rangers turned two into goals.
"It happens to all of us once in a while," Methot said. "Unfortunately, it happened a few times."
Zuccarello took advantage of a turnover by Chris Phillips near center ice and broke in alone on Anderson. He caught Anderson moving to make it 4-1 with 3:10 left in the game.
While the Senators were managing to hold on despite sluggish play, Stepan's goal late in the second proved to be the back-breaker.
With 11.5 seconds remaining, Erik Karlsson went to pass the puck back behind his net but he put it directly on Stepan's stick. Stepan beat Anderson short-side to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead heading into the intermission.
"It was a momentum swing for sure," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. "Instead of getting out of the period down one, you're down two. It gives momentum to the other team going into the room, and now you have to work even harder coming out of the room to start the period to get something going."

Cornus (Dogwood)
Beautiful blooms, foliage, fruit, and bark
Cornus (Dogwood) make excellent ornamental plants for either their beautiful large clusters of spring blooms in shades of white, pink, or yellow, or for their attractive foliage (some are evergreen!) and brilliant winter bark. Available in a wide variety of forms, including trees, shrubs, and groundcovers (Bunchberry), Cornus are versatile and tend to be easy to grow. The lovely blooms are followed by red, purple, black, or white bird-attracting fruit, depending on type, and the various leaf colors and shapes mean there's something for every garden.

from Jay Z – Takeover Lyrics on Genius
Getting your jewels stolen is one of the biggest insults imaginable among rappers. This line implies that it has happened to Nas, a claim which Jay furthered on "Super Ugly" with the lines
This nigga never sold asprin, how you Escobar?
Had to buy your chain back the last time you got robbed
Also Prodigy was robbed for his chain during the first HNIC "Keep It Thoro" video, and again at the Y.B.E. videoshoot.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this installment of the Lighting with Flash series, photographer and Strobist.com publisher David Hobby demonstrates using strobes to freeze action while capturing the strength and grace of a dancer in motion. After working through the lighting challenges of a dance studio, David sets up a white, seamless background and shoots some test shots, adjusting the flash units to create a white "blow-away" background that will enable the photo to be easily composited. Next, he photographs the dancer, working with her to capture a relaxed expression as she leaps and strikes various poses. After the action shots, David lights and shoots a portrait.
So, the ambient exposure for in here is say--is all but black at 250th at ISO 400, f5.6, so if we shoot in that environment, everything that we do will be lit by flash. So that means we can probably shoot at a quarter power, which means faster recycling times and faster pulse times. So, let's go ahead and setup the backdrop if we could. All right so, we're going to slide the paper on and assemble the whole thing horizontally on the ground, just because it's such a pain to walk it up a little at a time, clamp it off, and then stand it up, move it back, and then put sandbags on it.
So, there's a hot spot of light coming right there. I wonder where that's from. That's from a mirror. Not there. It can't be there. Is it, really? Look at that, so the sun is going to go that way. The hot spot is going to move that way. That's potentially a problem, because she's going to be coming across here. Now boom, all of a sudden she is at blind and what, 500th of a second at F 11. Oh yeah, okay.
So, we have an hour. So that light is going to go that way and down. The hot spot is going to come up over here. It should be okay, but we may have to go over that. So, one goes on like this and one goes on like this. And that gives here a lot a security right there.
You got that, John? Thank you. So, we're going to use this film diagonally, so we're going to have the most length possible, because that gives us the ability to shoot with a longer lens, which makes the background bigger. Think of a background being behind someone with a wide-angle lens. But another thing is it's going to get Stephanie almost like a little path that she can run across here. So, it makes the room wider for us in both dimensions, where we want it to be wider. I wouldn't mind it being higher, but these are-- So, this is, I want to say 9 feet, right above is a guess, and that's our limiting height.
So, it may actually affect where we put her and where we put the main light. I'd mind having that main light tucked in above those registers and stuffs. All right, are you set there? Okay. So, let's just fold this in a relatively straight line, and then we will clamp the folds, and tear it. Dave, can you meet me halfway? All right, thank you! Scissors are not in the budget. There we go, thank you.
So, I am going to put clamps on this, just to give a little bit of weight at the bottom, so it'll hang straight. All right! Let's try to walk it up. So we're going to walk it up down at that end and come up this way. We're going to hit the ceiling, so I guess take it down and come up. I think we have to miss this. I think we have to miss it to the front. We don't have any air flow in here, do we? So, I am going to move this paper, and let it come back towards you. And what I hope that we'll see is the sun moving pretty quickly. And the sun is going to move that way, so the hot spot is going to move that way, and it should move off the paper pretty quick.
It's going to be white, so it's not terrible. Okay, is that as high as we can get? Is that as far back as we are going to go? Yes. Hmm. Okay, there puts her about right there. So, the limiting factor is going to be the width of the paper still, as far as her being able to spread out. Another thing about white, if we get into background problems, worst case, if you get fingers sticking out background paper, you can always just like Photoshop it, have white behind and erase it, but I would rather not do any more of that than I have to.

Born in Houston, Texas and split life equally between Ohio and Texas. Graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. After 23 years in Packaging Sales, Management and Manufacturing (foam products for the likes of Dell, Compaq and HP), I moved to Santa Fe to join twin brother, Jeff, in the real estate profession. I have four terrific kids, and a passion for golf, gardening and art. Areas of Expertise Homes and land in the Highway 285 corridor, in particular Eldorado and all parts of Santa Fe. Mission Statement The customer is always right...or nearly so. Ultimately, the client's satisfaction is paramount. Therefore, all roads that lead to such, including those less traveled, are those that define my direction. Why I Love Santa Fe The quality of light, sky, air and all of the common elements indigenous to this area are particularly appealing. The mountains speak to me, and the high desert climate is far superior to what I've experienced. The sum of all the parts is indeed my good fortune. Best Advice to Clients Patience is a virtue. Even when our moments are challenged, know that the air will clear eventually.

Hook Jockeys
by Rachel Devitt | March 14, 2014
Before they were famous pop singers and global R&B stars, the artists on this playlist were just a golden voice emanating from the unstoppable hook of a runaway hit song. Aloe Blacc is the latest to jockey for our attention with a killer hook: After years of earning underground respect and critical acclaim as a just-under-the-radar soul singer, he burst onto the main stage as the voice of Avicii's "Wake Me Up." Similarly, artists like Dido, Future, Janelle Monae and even Pharrell Williams, who were already somewhat established in particular genres or behind the scenes, made the leap to the mainstream by lending their vocals to "Stan," "Loveeeeeee Song" (among others), "We Are Young" and "I Just Wanna Love U," respectively. Others, like Bruno Mars, Anthony Hamilton and Mary Lambert, made their debuts on the pop charts on the merits of their vocal contributions to the hits "Nothin' On You," "Po' Folks" and "Same Love," respectively. And still others never quite parlayed their hook jockeying into superstardom, but still managed to carve out a niche for themselves in pop music history by voicing an iconic song's chorus (we're looking at you, Shawnna and -- so far -- Skylar Grey). Press play for these and other classic, memorable, can't-quit-'em hooks.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Government proposes to make knowledge generated through State funding in the information technology sector available to the public through a suitable non-restrictive licence.
The draft IT policy, at the same time, stresses the need to create awareness of copyright. "The Government understands the need for creating awareness of copyright, patents and trademarks. Awareness programmes will be developed for the general public. "The Government shall provide orientation programmes to its law enforcement agencies to understand the intricacies of the laws under the relevant Central IT Act to curb unauthorised copying of copyrighted works.
"It is important for the Government to strike a balance between the interest of copyright owners and society. There are several new initiatives that are working on innovative legal frameworks for sharing knowledge resources on less restrictive conditions. Considering the social value of freely available knowledge resources, the Government will support efforts to build free knowledge."

( ST. JOSEPH, MO. ) Friday is the first day of August and we are starting off the new month with some light rain showers. The chance for rain showers will continue into the morning hours for much of the viewing area. Chances will decrease after 10 am, but clouds will stick around. Temperatures will still reach the low to mid 80s this afternoon under partly sunny skies. Winds will be out of the south at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Skies will remain partly cloudy overnight and lows will bottom out in the low to mid 60s. Saturday will clear up and there will be plenty of sunshine as the weather pattern starts to change. The cool weather that dominated in the beginning of the week will move on out and temperatures will start to rise. Highs on Saturday will be in the mid 80s with winds out of the east around 5 miles per hour. Copyright 2014 Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. All rights reserved.

The two neighbouring nations are equally passionate about music. India and Pakistan, having shared a common history, have both grown to evolve their own musical styles and have also taken to the nuances of the other country's music forms and singers. The most popular form of music that connects music lovers across the two countries is the qawwali. In a traditional qawwali, one may sing songs in praise of Allah or the enlightened teachers of Sufi, or may even dive into intoxication and use the language of romance in the form of a ghazal to express one's love and longing for the divine. Kafi is another genre of Sufi music that leans more towards the meditative form of singing, using the words of kafi poets such as Bulleh Shah and Shah Hussain.
One of the most popular exponents of kafi is Pakistani singer Abida Parveen, known for her deep, soulful voice, which really seems to be speaking to the Almighty. Thousands of miles away, born on the same land but separated by a border, Kavita Seth belts out a melodious voice that, similar to Parveen, has become synonymous with Sufi music. What is interesting is that both women have been applauded and welcomed all over the world for their powerful renditions of Sufi music.
With changing times, Sufi music, however, has evolved dramatically. Pakistani Sufi rock band, Junoon, formed in the 1990s, brought a modernised Sufi music form to reel in a new younger generation. Achieving widespread popularity, both in Pakistan as well as in India, the music remains the same—filled with soul and aimed at divinity. So what is it about Sufi music that bridges the perceived gap between two nations, which have almost always been at loggerheads? The answer is simple—seeking the truth, destroying the ego and embracing humility and peace has long been the goal of every rational human being. At the heart of it all, music interprets emotions, and as we know, these are universally alike. Even beyond Sufi, both countries have a passion for soulful music.
What makes the shows of Zindagi channel more appealing is that they have original soundtracks sung by renowned artistes like Abida Parveen, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shafqat Amanat Ali and Ali Zafar. In times where TV producers acquire rights to popular Bollywood music, it will be refreshing to hear original compositions on TV. We find this ground-breaking in more ways than one.

Cebu Pacific: Off-loading of luggage in Caticlan-Manila flight done for safety
ILOILO CITY, Philippines—Budget carrier Cebu Pacific has confirmed that the luggage of some passengers from its flight from Caticlan to Manila last Sunday was off-loaded.
In a statement Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific vice president for marketing and distribution, said some pieces of luggage on Flight 57 896 were off-loaded due to the airport's weight limitation, which was implemented as a safety measure.
"The bags were loaded in the earliest available Kalibo-Manila flight on the same day and have been delivered to the owners. We regret the inconvenience this may have caused our guests and we hope for their understanding as their safety is our primary concern," Iyog said in the statement.
There was no mention whether the off-loaded luggage included those belonging to the group of show-biz couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto.
A brawl between Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist Ramon Tulfo and several men including Santiago erupted at the NAIA Terminal 3 in Manila on Sunday.
The brawl reportedly started after Santiago confronted Tulfo while he was taking pictures of Barretto complaining to a Cebu Pacific staff about their luggage that was off-loaded at the Caticlan airport.

Great earbud for the money
Pros: Kicking bass and smooth signature
Cons: break-in required
I bought this at the Sony Store and regretted by purchase for the first two days. They were very dull sounding. I found myself searching for eq setting to get some high frequency response. But on the third say I noticed the treble opening up. Previously select EQs became to bright. These will never be Grado-revealing, but the highs opened up to reveal a nicely balanced earbud. I won't even mention the bass because that was always fabulous. If you like impactful powerful bass, these are your earbuds. And once they open up, they have a highly listening, if warm, presentation. Good detail and a satisfy overall signature for lovers of warmer phones. These are very nice earbuds and I am...(read more)
