Select Local Merchants
Solly's U St TavernRead MoreTasty food, cheap beer, and karaoke fun nights are the headlines of Solly's U-Street Tavern. Located on the corner of N T St and N U St, they are one of the most hospitable and interesting dive bars in DC. The downstairs lounge is the perfect place to kick back and relax with friends while enjoying Solly's extensive selection of local craft beers and delicious finger food. Mouthwatering eateries here include the cheesy poutine, hand-cut French fries, and Baltimore style pit beef sandwich. Thursdays are Kostume Karaoke nights at Solly's, where patrons are encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters as they pick and sing songs from the vast collection that Solly's karaoke machine offers. The upstairs lounge offers a quiet sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the bottom floor, perfect for a heart-to-heart conversation.1942 11th St NWWashington, DC US
Rock N Roll HotelRead MoreFirst things first – Washington, D.C.'s, Rock & Roll Hotel is not a hotel, but it has the Rock & Roll part nailed. A music venue and nightclub located in the H Street Corridor, the hotel consists of three floors: the first floor concert hall, second floor lounge, and third floor rooftop deck that's heated for entertainment when temperatures drop. While there is no wait service, food is served family style and can be ordered from the bar. Each floor has its own full-service bar with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Parking is limited to street parking only, so many patrons take the metro and cab it the 15 blocks to the hotel. There's no dress code and it's standing room only (so choose your foot apparel accordingly). Tickets are sold prior to the show at Ticket Alternative and TicketFly.1353 H St NEWashington, DC US
Dance PlaceRead MoreDance Place first leapt onto the scene more than three decades ago as an educational and performing arts company that toured local schools. In the years since, it has grown into a multi-faceted operation and source of both entertainment and instruction. Every weekend, Dance Place dazzles crowds with performances in modern dance, African Dance, performance art, and spoken word. Rather than hiring a sketch artist to doodle each dance step into a flipbook, spectators can learn the moves they see on stage by enrolling in one of Dance Place's programs, or by dropping into an adult or children's class. Dance Place has remained true to its roots through its continued support of local schools, and to this day organizes family-friendly performances, workshops, and school assemblies.3225 8th Street NortheastWashington, DC US
Woolly Mammoth Theatre CompanyRead MoreIt is a truth generally known that theater people are odd birds. At times, the colorful, loud, and oftentimes naked presence of these wild creatures might throw one off their guard. There was a time (ahem, the seventies and eighties) when theater was less of an experiment of story-telling and more of a parade of power chords (ahem, Andrew Lloyd Webber). At Wooly Mammoth Theater Company they have sought to change all that and to let the beast out of the cage! Buy a ticket to an enchanting and fantastically entertaining season at Wooly Mammoth. Here, they explore the new, the innovative, the odd, the bold, and the terrifying! They do it all with reckless abandon at a black box theater in Washington, DC. This is a place to share ideas and to let the imagination roam.641 D St NWWashington, DC US
DC9 NightclubRead MoreDid you know that one branding agency is responsible for naming more than three thousand letter-and-number-based entities? This branding agency is unlike any other because it only specializes in strategic letter-and-number arranging. Previous clients include: R2D2 (Star Wars), CB4 (Chris Rock biopic), PS142 (NY public school), and A1 (sauce). If you?re interested in checking out its latest success, keep reading about a great deal at DC9 Nightclub (business has increased 117% since adding DC9 to the name).1940 9th Street NorthwestWashington, DC US
DAR Constitution HallRead MoreThe young Italian tenor trio Il Volo impresses audiences with pitch-leaping vocal performances rich in three-part harmonies. Performing renditions of classic Italian songs as well as material penned by contemporary songwriters, the teenage opera singers showcase budding international appeal and the promise of a bright future that consists of crooning crowds and autographing customs slips at airports. Opening act Ethan Bortnick, a 10-year-old piano prodigy known as the youngest entertainer to headline his own concert tour and attempt to purchase a monster truck, starts out the night with original piano compositions as well as recognizable classics.1776 D St NWWashington, DC US

text: Sworming Hornet, aka Sworming Hornet Fish Head Spin™, made a big name for itself in 2004 when a famous Western Pro used the Fish Head Spin™ to take a strong second place, and a good run at first, by swimming the Hornet/Fluke Jr. combo around bridge pilings in North Carolina. These great little jig heads feature tough, chip-resistant paint, a conical keeper ring on the shank of the hook to keep plastic baits in place, and a quality ball bearing swivel to enable the blade to spin easily at any retrieve speed. The Sworming Hornet uses a top quality Mustad Ultrapoint hook that will hook and hold any bass. Sworming Hornet Fish Head Spin™ works well when fished over deep cover like brush piles, around standing cover like bridge pilings and standing timber, and along weed edges.

Judge questions USADA, Armstrong lawyers
USADA officials say UCI's rules, as well as the U.S Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency give the American agency jurisdiction.
Sparks admitted being confused about jurisdiction, noting the agencies seem to have overlapping rules that attempt to preempt each other.
But he also noted that the arbitrators can determine jurisdiction and that Armstrong would be allowed to appeal any rulings to the Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport.
"Why would they not rule for you if it's so clear?" Sparks asked Armstrong attorney Tim Herman. "Where do I have jurisdiction when you can litigate in arbitration?"
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency charged Armstrong in June, about four months after a federal grand jury investigation of the cyclist ended four months earlier without any indictments.
Doping charges were also levied against five others associated with his teams during his Tour de France victories. Three cases are still pending and two doctors who worked with the teams have been issued lifetime bans.
USADA officials say they have up to 10 former Armstrong teammates and associates willing to testify against the former lead rider, and blood samples from 2009-2010 that are "fully consistent" with doping.
Armstrong, who was not at the hearing, says he has undergone more than 500 drug tests without testing positive. He retired from cycling in 2011.
"Mr. Armstrong agreed to play by the same rules that apply to every other athlete and we believe he should not be allowed to create a new set of rules that apply only to him," Travis Tygart, chief executive of USADA said in a prepared statement. "From the beginning our investigation has been about ridding sport from anyone in the system that uses their power or influence to encourage or assist athletes in using dangerous performance-enhancing drugs."

Special Correspondent
Chief Minister inaugurates new office of police association
HYDERABAD: Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy on Thursday assured members of the Andhra Pradesh Police Officers' Association (APPOA) that the State Government would extend all cooperation to police personnel and ensure that they had no grievances.
He was inaugurating a new office building for APPOA adjacent to the DGP's office here. He said that any development was possible only if peace along with law and order prevailed in the State and there was no way his Government would neglect them. Home Minister K. Jana Reddy and Director General of Police M. A. Basith were present.
Responding to a plea from APPOA president Anantha Ramulu about release of TA arrears pending for past 10 months and an additional weightage increment linked to service, Dr. Reddy said that he would ensure the TA arrears were released in a month. He also congratulated APPOA for constructing an office.
APPOA general secretary K.V. Ram Narasimha Reddy said the building was built on a piece of land measuring 1,000 square yards allotted when S. R. Sukumara was the DGP. The built-up area of 4,000 sq. ft. would be used by APPOA for its activities with space for a conference hall, library and staff restrooms.

short story I made for film studies today. Hope the frames are understandable. Cheers,
October 19th, 2011 #111
Figured I take another stroll through yer sb...glad I did because I'd missed this.
First thank you for the high praise...I really appreciate it. As for your work...I agree rough is good!
I understand what you mean about losing foundations...but I think sometimes when you're stylizing characters it's good to let that knowledge move to the back-seat.
The film study frames are definitely readable...I like you "camera" sense...moving our eyes low and high...close and far. Reminds me of the movement in Farrelly Brother's storyboards.
Really diggin the retro works from 99 and the wip below them!
Speaking of stylized...I like the way your finding personality and character for Mono.

I like 'em...especailly mr pig dood. _
Ok...so I was wrong. It's the Coen Brothers I was thinking about...BIG difference eh!
Looking at what I just found on-line your drawing styles differ a lot...yours being more refined...their's more cartoony. But the "camera/eye" placement sense you have...as I said low/high, in/out is what I see as a similarity.
Here's one link I found: http://www.artistdaily.com/blogs/dra...oryboards.aspx
I like the story boards of theirs on the extra features for Miller's Crossing...where they show them side by side with the actual movie footage.

@Lav - thanks, yeah the last one is colored in Painter. The drawing is multiplyed over the color layer. I used simple brush with noise applied to whole image and blurring here and there. Glad you like it.
BTW - maybe some of you folks would love to buy my older traditional media works which are currently for sale here.

text: Arnold Kling and Michael Cannon believe that the idea of the physician as a lone independent craftsment is out-of-date. The authors contend that healthcare quality would improve and costs would drop if physicians adopted a more corporate environment. Larger organizations, such as the Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente and Veterans Affairs all benefit from economies of scale and a team-based medical approach. Nevertheless, physicians generally are loath to accept this organizational structure, because they do not want their own authority and decision-making abilities undermined by a larger corporate structure. Below are some excerpts from their article " Does the Doctor Need a Boss? "

A divorce is a lawsuit to dissolve a valid marriage. A divorce case may be contested or uncontested. A contested divorce is one where the parties cannot agree. A judge ultimately will decide the issues that are contested. An uncontested divorce is one where the parties have settled all issues relating to the grounds for divorce, custody of children, child support, maintenance and division of property. An uncontested divorce can also be granted if the defending spouse fails to appear in court after being served with a Summons with Notice for Divorce.
What are the grounds for divorce in New York?
- Abandonment for one year or more
Abandonment can occur in any one of three ways:
- Literal Abandonment—when a spouse simply leaves the marital residence without reason for one year or more;
- Lock-Out Abandonment—when one spouse locks the other spouse out from the marital residence for one year or more; or
- Constructive (Sexual) Abandonment—when one spouse refuses (without reason) to have sexual relations.
- Cruel and inhuman treatment
When one spouse mentally or physically abuses the other to such an extent that it is unsafe for the abused spouse to remain in the house.
- One spouse in prison in excess of three years after the marriage
This ground is unavailable if the imprisoned spouse was in prison at the time of the marriage.
- Adultery
Sex outside the marriage. This ground is unavailable if the other spouse permitted or previously forgave the adultery. The adultery must have occurred within the five years of starting the divorce action.
- Lived apart pursuant to Judgment of Separation
If one spouse has previously sued for and obtained a Judgment of Separation and the parties have lived apart under the terms of the judgment for more than a year.
- Lived apart pursuant to a separation agreement
- "No-Fault" Divorce
When there has been irretrievable breakdown of the marriage for more than six months and all economic issues of equitable distribution of marital property, spousal support, payment of child support, the payment of counsel and experts fees and expenses, as well as the custody and visitation with the children of the marriage have been resolved by the parties or determined by court order.
In a divorce case the judge has the power to make any and all orders or judgments relating to equitable distribution of the properties of the parties, custody of the children, visitation, and child support and maintenance.
I want to file for divorce:
- Determine on what grounds you wish to seek a divorce.
- Document the assets you brought to the marriage and have accumulated since the marriage.
- Consult with an experienced matrimonial, divorce or family lawyer.

my son is going to be 3 on the 11th, and he still sleeps in the bed with me and seperately with his father at his house. he slept alone a few times, but now it just seems that he can't break the habit!! and yes it is partially my fault because i accepted it and i admit i love it, it's the best feeling ever!!! but what should i do?!
please tell me this is somewhat common with other toddlers!
Lots of families choose to have a "family bed" and cosleep long term. If it's working for you perhaps there's no need to change.
If he loves it and you love it what is the problem? Just to conform to what everyone else does? Bed sharing is not my thing,but I slept with my mom until I was like five lol.
Don't rush somthing neither of you want
September, 22 2011
thank you guys!! i knew what i was doing, and hes happy that way, im just not sure when i should start weening him towards his child independence or if he should just do it naturally himself.
If you like it, and your LO likes it, and everyone is actually getting sleep in the same bed, then I agree, no need to worry about it!

I agree with PPs - you are happy, your son is happy - why change things?
Owen 03.27.06 ~&~ Paige 08.15.08 & Claire 06.11.11
I always wondered if it is the right thing but we all sleep well for the most part so why not??
We do the same. LO is 2 y.o next month and we love co-sleeping with her. My mother co slept with my sister until she was about 10-11 years old!! (that's when she met her husband lol if not I bet my sis would have still slept with her! b/c she was so scared to be alone in a room)
The less you care, the happier you'll be.
"When I look into your eyes, its like watching the night sky or a beautiful sunrise.."
I love you 03/30/11
Happy co-sleepers here too.
We'll change it if there comes a time that it's not working for everyone. Until then, loving the snuggles and the sleep!

Recent New Mexico Reviews
Just driving up the road to the estate is a an adventure. Depending upon the time of year, the landscape can look stark and you just KNOW there are coyotes and other critters hiding behind the pinon trees! In the spring, you'll see blooms on the desert plants. In the winter time, when you look upwards, you'll see beautiful mountains covered in snow. I felt like I was seeing Ansel Adams' view when he photographed mountain scenes. When you approach the Hacienda, you already know you are somewhere special. The side porch beckoned me, and I spent every morning thereafter drinking my coffee and meditating. What a wonderful place to watch the sun come up! Entering the Hacienda, I realized I was in a sacred space. Not just because the home is decorated so beautifully, but because I could see the world through the windows. And at night, you see gorgeous sunsets that are unbelievable. I never realized there could be so many colors in a sunset. On one visit, it rained and rained. I cannot describe the rainbows that came afterward. Each had its own aura and personality and range of colors. As I mentioned, the home is enchanting. But, what I found interesting and unique is the different color scheme in each bedroom/bath; a few of the rooms had their own fireplace. Every bedroom has a story to tell and is welcoming and very comfortable. The kitchen is wide open and spacious. And through its windows, you see the courtyard with its large fountain and sitting areas. The courtyard invited me to become a part of it, and while listening to the water flow, I realized I felt content and complete. As I mentioned before, this is a very special and sacred space.

Turns out I was holding my breath a little towards the final extension. Haven't had a problem since.
Guy Who Pays the Bills and Gets the Death Threats Style: MMA (Retired)--
I wasn't holding it in completely, just towards the top of the rep I'd, for some reason, purse my lips and blow it out slower... weird I know. No idea where that came from either... maybe 7th grade band practice or something random.
Anyway, Cullion... my diet's locked down fucking tight these days. That burrito is my cheat meal, once a week, and I eat split it in half and eat it 3 hours apart. I've only had two.
I'll have to post before/after pics in a few months. I was 190 when I started, I'm 183 now measured first thing in the morning.

On Mario's new lovesick ballad, How Do I Breathe, the young crooner explains how hard it is to take in oxygen while pinning away at a certain female. Although Mario is too young to settle down for good, and not breathing is just plain stupid, he isn't too young to make certified hits. "Over the years in this industry, I feel like I've grown to a point where I'm comfortable in my own skin, and this album truly reflects that," Mario explains. Look for his highly anticipated and long-delayed album, Go, in stores this July.

You can find used C-Map's on Ebay. I found one for the area from Charlotte harbor to Key West for my Nav6000. It was under $25. We use paper charts when navaguessing, GPS is only for second opinion. We usually have 3 or more handheld GPS units for us to review and argue over who's is most accurate.
I installed a Raymarine 630 older color chartplotter in my Cal 9.2. It can relay seatalk data from the other instruments to popup windows for reference. Its nice to have the real depth displayed to compare to the chart's depth reference especially when the TVA drops the lake in the winter.

LAGUNA BEACH – Jonas Bevacqua, co-founder and creative director of the Irvine-based clothing company LRG, was found dead in his home on Bern Drive in Laguna Beach on Monday morning, the Orange County Coroner's Office confirmed. He was 34.
The cause of death for the well-known urban-style clothing designer has not yet been determined, Supervising Deputy Coroner Kelly Keyes said. The Laguna Beach Police Department did not provide details but said that the death does not appear to be suspicious.
LRG – short for Lifted Research Group – both supports and is supported by a community of musicians, artists and athletes who have donned the company's clothing. According to LRG, the company's clothes have been worn by celebrities from Kobe Bryant and Reggie Bush to Kanye West and John Legend to Quentin Tarantino and Tom Arnold.
Entrepreneur magazine reported the company had sales of $5 million in 2002 and $150 million in 2006, earning it the No. 5 spot on the publication's 500 fastest growing companies.
LRG co-founders Robert Wright and Charlie Moothart in a statement posted on the company's website Tuesday night described Bevacqua as a "visionary" who served as a "friend, partner, father, mentor and very caring person."
"Jonas was a star who burned brightly in the sky and who is gone too soon," the statement read. "There is a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. He will always be loved and missed by his friends, family and those he inspired."
Those sentiments were shared among online followers as news spread of Bevacqua's death.
"A true fashion pioneer,'' wrote an admirer on Twitter.
"RIP Jonas Bevacqua. Your accomplishments and trend setting ways inspired many,'' wrote another.
The early years of Bevacqua's life were spent in Long Beach, but when he got into high school, his family moved to Laguna Beach. These two cultures were very different to him – the streets of Long Beach and the beaches of Laguna – and it helped shape him. He took to skating and surfing rather than team sports.
His family is a veritable melting pot. Bevacqua, who is U.S-born Vietnamese, was adopted along with six others by Helen and Joe Bevacqua, who also have one biological son. He has a black brother and sister, Filipino brother and sister, half-white-half black sister, half Jamaican-half-Spanish brother and a white brother.
"I grew up in a pretty unique environment and was exposed to a lot of different things," Bevacqua told the Register in 2009. "I didn't feel there was a clothing company to bridge the gap among all these different things that we were into – that spoke for that melting pot of what was going on. That's what LRG was all about."
After high school, he tried out college.
"I did two semesters but probably showed up like three times," Bevacqua said.

Today, it was announced that Swatch is acquiring Harry Winston's jewelry and watch business for a whopping $1 billion. On first glance, this seems like a pity. The folks that headed the charge to make the watch a disposable fashion item have scooped up a company that's devoted to precision craftsmanship, horological excellence, and products that are made to last for generations, not seasons. Things can only take a turn for the worst. Right? Well, not really. First off, Swatch has been in the habit of acquiring luxury brands for a little while now. Hell, they own Omega. And, c'mon, Omega's still doing just fine. But here's the other, crucial, thing: Yes, Harry Winston's watches are well-crafted, and from exceptional materials, to boot. But a lot of times, their creations are less about, you know, being a watch, and more about being a strange piece of (very expensive) art. Just check out the model above. Not exactly challenging the Submariner for a place in the annals of understated timekeeping history. And you know who's great with pushing style over function? Swatch. So perhaps we have a match made in marketing heaven, here: two purveyors of something very similar, just on different ends of the price spectrum. Maybe Swatch is the partner Harry always deserved. Or maybe this is a signifier of the impending end of all things thoughtfully made. But we doubt it.

From Barnes & NobleAt an age when most men retire from the military, Hnida became its newest recruit. After the Columbine tragedy devastated his Colorado community, he needed to make a difference. So this general practitioner, whose practice was mostly pediatric, found himself in the sandy trenches of Iraq.
What he learned was this: to bond quickly with his fellow doctors, and to use his wit to make it through each day with a forced banter. He joked about the bad food, the military lingo, and the sweltering heat. He developed little daily rituals to bring him luck. He didn't try to make sense of the war, but he did begin to comprehend — at least in part — why his father drank so much after his World War II combat experience.
Most of all, Hnida worked his tail off treating very young men. Most of them he saved. Some he kept alive so they could return home to say their final goodbyes. With every decision a critical one, he hoped and prayed he was doing everything right, and worked on those soldiers as if they were his own children.
Just three months long, Hnida's stint was nothing compared to the twelve- and eighteen-month tours other soldiers are pulling. His memories are enduring, his new outlook on life remains, and the embrace of his family when he returned home never felt so sweet.
—Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run

(Rise of the Black Knight?) I started working on the metallics of the Knight Lancer with the intention of making the armor parts a split dark green/black (a darker version of the Forgotten Knight). Then I noticed this happened. Usually we black over this to start the next color, but I'm really digging what's going here.

Battletech veterans will recognize this pose. I really need to revamp my blogger layout, because tiny photos really don't do this kit justice.

Before we move on to the Knight stuff, photos of a gaggle of themed Crypteks have been fermenting on my hard drive since... well, since that Tomb Stalker post. Then there's the Roboute model, some more Mechanicus stuff, and so on. No, I'm not going to do any ork stuff, ever. I despise the damn orks.

This Falcon, after much cutting and scraping, was lit using Poweredplay Gaming's lighting products, which, true to their word, are easy to mess around with and install. If I have a complaint, it's that they don't (yet) have a coin-battery cell that fits into FFG's Slave-1: Cringe-inducing, isn't it?

Playing FFG's fantastic X-Wing game got me thinking about fighters, so with the itch to build one firmly in place I set about making some air support for the Ultramarines. Of course, currently the only air support around that's strictly Astartes is the Storm Raven/Raptor, Thunderhawk, and the reprehensible Storm Talon. Oh well.

Well, really, the factory never closed, but I took a break from doing things for a while, an when I felt like it again, I opened up some new projects.

Fridays From the Frontline
May 2, 2014 | 0 comments
Hello and welcome to Friday From the Frontline, Clear Admit's weekly perusal of the ponderings of the b-school blogosphere. This week, we welcome a new contributor to the FFF blogging family, and hear updates from current students about exciting campus events and activities.
Brian Scott is an American about to embark on the MBA journey at INSEAD Fontainebleau. He's launched a blog to document the experience by giving an interesting and informative account of tips he's learned for INSEADers looking to work in the States, post MBA. JourneyofalowGMATer has a post on additional books to read, in order to enhance the classroom experience. 2YearsatHBS gives an account of Harvard Business School's annual Newport Ball. While being glamorously attired at a castle-like resort in order to mingle with classmates is an exciting event, there are limits to being able to sustain that excitement. Rush Vallabh, Cambridge MBA '16 has a guest blog on a masterclass in "Googleyness". Christina F. has a guest post on the London Business School site with a fun list of spring activities to do in London.
And that's all the news for this week's edition of Fridays From the Frontline. As the East Coast of the United States dries out from the deluge of recent rain, we hope to enjoy pleasant weather ahead. We also hope that applicants continue to update us with information about statuses and future plans, and that current students also update their blogs with the latest from their campus and classroom lives.
Want to join the Fridays From the Frontline community and see your blog featured regularly in this column? Just follow this link and add the FFF badge to your blog and then email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your URL so we can make sure to add you to our weekly roundups.

The number of DOffs needs to be connected to the amount needed to do the missions they make.
If they make missions that require 5 Prisoners, 5 Conn Officers or 5 Diplomats or 5 Sensors Officers or 5 Colonists then we should be able to have 5 of each type of officer (there are 51 types in the game now on Tribble). If we aren't allowed that many then don't make missions that require that many of the same type of DOff.
Easy solution, just make a barrack for the extra crew. So you can have extra space and switch doffs with whatever you need.

In South Dakota, Jews Live Surrounded By A Christian Society
On Wednesday, Nov. 6, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments for and against offering prayers before public meetings. Depending on the outcome, the Rapid City Common Council might face a lawsuit for its practice of starting meetings with predominantly Christian prayers.
In a five-part series, SDPB is taking a look at various religions in the state and how followers view Christian practices that are woven into government institutions. For today's Dakota Digest, Victoria Wicks speaks with followers of Judaism in the Black Hills, a very small minority in an area with a large Christian majority.

Stylish Teal Clothing and Accessories
This elegant (and suddenly omnipresent) jewel tone is a brilliant way to jolt an understated wardrobe, particularly when you pair it with gray, saffron, or violet.
The Appeal of Teal
Last year the Pantone Color Institute (the authority on everything color related) declared turquoise the shade of 2010. But at the fall 2011 fashion shows, that turquoise had evolved into a richer, more autumn-friendly teal, as seen on the runways of Fendi, Gucci, and Marc Jacobs. There's no one perfect teal; it comes in a range of lush tones, from the peacock blue shown here to the deep, aquamarine-like shades on the following slides.
And while black is always a reliable mate for teal, dynamic color pairings—with gray, saffron, and violet—really make a splash.

Fixing Crysis
After playing Crysis I can honestly say that I was disappointed. While the nanosuit and the weapons were pretty cool, the poor AI and the annoying introduction of the un-named, uninteresting and near unkillable alien species made me want to cry. Throw in some sub-par vehicle sections and the endlessly frustrating zero-gravity maze and you have one of the first games that I uninstaled before even finishing, but that was Crysis

NHK balloon camera aims to make bird's-eye shots easy
February 23, 2012
For those who dream of one day shooting aerial footage without the bulky cranes and cables to hold everything aloft, Japan's NHK may have just the thing: a tethered, balloon-mounted, four-axis gyro-stabilized camera rig that weighs in at about 2 kg (4.4 lb), can soar up to 300 m (984 ft) and takes its commands from the re-purposed remote control for a toy helicopter.
Once airborne, the camera can "pan, tilt, and zoom as usual," NHK's Tsuyoshi Sekiguchi explained to DigInfo. "In addition, the gimbal works to keep the direction fixed, so even if the camera shakes, it stays facing the same direction, and the image is stable. To put it simply, four gimbal axes are controlled, and they have gyros, and the direction is kept constant using the gyro values."
Although versatile and easy to set up, the balloon platform does have certain limitations. Like most lighter-than-air craft, its large surface area makes it susceptible to strong breezes, so the NHK rig is limited to operating at wind speeds of 7 m/sec (about 15 mph) or less. The balloon's top payload is about 4 kg (just under 9 lbs) so only smaller cameras can go aloft for the time being. The engineers did add a safety mechanism that brings the rig safely down should its tether get cut, so at least worries about losing everything are minimized.
As the video below shows, the rig is fairly adept at damping unwanted motion, especially at more modest elevations. "The height actually used for a bird's-eye view is about 30-50m (98-164 ft) because that's the most practical altitude, so we've designed this system to work stably at that height," Sekiguchi added.
Currently there's no word on price point or availability, but NHK claims ease of use and cost reduction were two big motivations for the design, so if all goes well, we may be seeing a lot more of this technology at games and big events in the not-too-distant future.

I want one of these!Carlos Grados
very nice and desirable, but one word comes to my mind: WIND. (and helium price, btw)marosini
Not the design I would build but I wonder what the maximum load would be if you filled it full of hydrogen.Slowburn
I wouldn\'t connect it to a baloon at all... why not a quadracopter rig instead? For movies or promotional video shoots outdoors... for indoor major sporting venues the balloon would work with no worries of wind... they fly these blimps indoors at games today.GadgetGeek
re; GadgetGeek
Passive lift is far more reliable.Slowburn

CBI joint director O P Galhotra is related to Congress MP Naveen Jindal, an accused in one of the "illegal" coal block allocation cases. He has conflict of interests and thus should not be allowed to handle coal scam cases, revealed senior advocate Prashant Bhushan before the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
"He (Galhotra) has been handling almost all cases in coal block scam and he is instrumental in the closure of several cases by CBI. Fair investigation is not done here," Bhushan, counsel of NGO Common Cause, contended and sought the court to pass an appropriate order for his removal from the case.
Interestingly, CBI counsel appearing before a bench headed by Chief Justice R M Lodha, admitted that Galhotra is relative of Naveen Jindal and thus has recused himself from handling Jindal case. ``It will be a stigma for him if he (Galhotra) is removed from all other cases," the CBI counsel argued.
Taking note of it, the bench, also comprising justices Madan B Lokur and Kurian Joseph, asked CBI to inform it by Thursday the status of the officer in these cases. "Seek instruction from CBI about the officer and tell us tomorrow," the bench said and deferred the hearing till tomorrow at 3pm.
"Our effort and exercise is to have fair and impartial investigation. Why should anything be done that shatters the public confidence," the bench further said.
Talking to dna, Bhushan said, "In many cases, after the probe when the investigating team sent them to Galhotra with an opinion to file charge-sheet, he over ruled that and Galhotra's decision is approved by the director."
Interestingly, CBI sources said, Galhotra had monitored the questioning of former coal minister Dasari Narayana Rao in connection with the alleged irregularities in allocation of Talabira-II coal block in which Aditya Birla Group chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla and former coal secretary P C Parakh are accused. CBI is also probing Rao for alleged criminal charges along with Naveen Jindal's firms.
During the course of hearing CBI counsel submitted that a status report is filed recently in which out of 168 cases against companies, PE is completed in 157 and rest are on the verge of completion. The agency is probing against 101 PSUs (75 state and 26 Central). In addition investigation is completed in 30 out of 43 coal blocks.
The agency had recently closed probe in 22 allocations which the apex court had referred to CVC for re-examination. The companies booked by agency so far include AMR Iron and Steel, JLD Yavatmal Energy, Vini Iron and Steel Udyog, JAS Infrastructure Capital Pvt Ltd, Vikash Metals, Grace Industries, Gagan Sponge, Jindal Steel and Power, Rathi Steel and Power Ltd, Jharkhand Ispat, Green Infrastructure, Kamal Sponge, Pushp Steel, Hindalco, BLA Industries, Castron Technologies and Castron Mining and others.
