Synch Wamp Home Dev And Production Site

BackupBuddy doesn't sync two sites or do incremental backups. A backup created by BackupBuddy is a copy of the site when the backup was made and if someone migrated/restored with that (full) backup then it would put in that destination location the copy of the site as it is in the backup. And naturally the same thing for database-only backups but for the database only instead of all files and folder (including database) with a full backup.
So if you/someone created a backup of a dev site, then migrated it to another location the two sites would be separate sites and not connected to each other.
A migrate and a restore are essentially the same thing but is a difference in terminology, they both go through the same processes but for a migration it is implied that the source site address and the destination site address are different. While for a restore the source site and destination site are the same (since someone would probably be restoring the site back to how it was in the backup after the site went down or got broke).

I don't have any suggestions on good systems for syncing sites like that. There might not even be a good one yet out there, though I don't know so maybe there is. Syncing sites would mean keeping track of all changes on the site and which parts to ignore etc, it doesn't sound like it would be the most fun thing to make though could be useful.

These make it possible to wear contacts again! I have dry eyes and generally wear these 12-16 hours a day with no problems at all. I used to wear Day & Night extended wear but could not actually sleep in them because my eyes would dry out and the contacts would get sticky and uncomfortable. I then tried just using those as a daily wear but half way through the day I would have to take them out. These contacts are the answer I have been looking for. I put them in and forget they are there. They are as comfortable at the end of the day as at the beginning. I highly recommend them to anyone!
Most Liked Negative Review
I would not buy this product again.
I usually wear focus dailies. Proclear sounded good for dry eye etc, so I changed. Sadly there is no difference! Not worth the extra money, I was very dissapointed.

Cadillac of Contact Lenses
By Business woman who was tired of dry eyes
from Deep South
I've been using these contacts for over 8 years and the benefits are worth it. If you work in front of a computer all day and experience dry eyes...you won't with these. Plus I put them in early in the morning and keep them in until I go to bed...never do they feel dry. Also, they do not fall out like cheaper versions of one day lenses...the fit is perfect. I would recommend these any day.

My first time diving into the 1-day contact world. I've worn contacts for over 15 years now (started with gas permeable hard contacts). I've gone through my share of different types and different brands. My most recent brand and type was the CIBA Vision Air Optix Aqua Night & Day. I love the fact that I can wear the contacts for 30 days, but I still take them out on occasion. With these 1-day contacts I can just throw them out every night.I was a little skeptical about Cooper Vision since I've never heard of them before. I was leaning towards the brands I knew and the optometrist told me I shouldn't buy into the marketing hype. I decided to try them out for a week and they felt great. These actually feel more comfortable than my Night & Days. I've also accidentally worn them straight for 2 days (kept them on overnight) and they still feel great and are perfectly clear. Great value, great product.

How to Bet on Tennis
With the way Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have dominated the men's side over the last decade, and the Williams' sisters ruling the Grand Slams on the women's side, betting on tennis may seem like a boring place for bettors looking for a challenge and for a chance at big profits.
It may seem that way, but it's not the case.
With the men's side becoming a three-man race due to the rise of Novak Djokovic and the Williams' facing new challenges both on and off the court, tennis betting is wide open right now.
Tennis may not be the most popular option for bettors, but it can provide some big profits when a big star is upset early on and the odds really start to tighten up in the later rounds of tournaments.
Tennis also offers more betting options than a number of other sports due to the ATP and WTA running tournaments simultaneously and coming together for the Grand Slams.
Tennis matchups offer more betting options that simply who will win and move on or claim the tournament title. There are also over under totals on sets, which are easier to figure out than the casual tennis fan might think.
There are also match props at some books, with odds on number of aces, faults and matchups between players.
One of the popular bets in tennis is futures, because even bettors who hardly ever bet on tennis will put in a future bet on a Grand Slam tournament. Tennis futures always start with the Grand Slams, with odds on the Australian Open the first to appear.
After the Aussie is over the French Open odds are usually available weeks or month before the actual tournament. Wimbledon odds are up at most books during the French Open and the same goes for U.S. Open odds during Wimbledon. Tennis futures are not all bets on the Grand Slams though.
There's also the Davis Cup and some of the other high profile tournaments such as the Master Series, the Tournament of Champions and the World Tour Finals.

Navy Slow to Embrace Armed Drones
Navy Slow to Embrace Armed Drones
June 03, 2008
Associated Press<!-- Uncomment this when the Jive comments functionality is available -->
ABOARD THE USS HARRY S TRUMAN - The Navy lags well behind the Air Force in the development of armed drones - the unmanned aircraft now used increasingly in Iraq and Afghanistan - insisting that its "Top Gun" fighter pilots are still smarter, better and more flexible in combat.
But the contrasting visions for the next generation of America's air arsenal point to wider debates within the military about the pace of incorporating remote-control technology into future battle strategies.
It also touches on differences in military cultures - with the Navy coming under criticism for its apparent resistance to substitute fighter pilot training and instincts with aircraft guided by operators who can be thousands of miles away.
For the moment, the Navy is deeply committed to plans for the F-35 fighter jet and developing a drone fleet strictly for surveillance and other non-weapon tasks. The Air Force, meanwhile, has used armed drones for years and appears to embody Pentagon trends to encourage drones as a way to reduce costs and consolidate personnel.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates, in a speech in April, called on the Air Force and other military officials to rethink "long-standing service assumptions and priorities about which missions require certified pilots, and which do not."
Gates added that "unmanned systems cost much less and offer greater loiter times than their manned counterparts - making them ideal for many of today's tasks."
But many Navy pilots believe the drone technology has its limits when called on to strike targets, saying that pilots cannot be fully replaced.
"I'm not worried about losing my job, let me put it that way," said Lt. Cmdr. Brice Casey, an F/A-18 fighter jet pilot, speaking after a mission over Iraq from the USS Harry S. Truman, which recently ended a deployment in the Persian Gulf.
The Navy currently uses Global Hawk reconnaissance drones and is developing a helicopter-like unmanned aircraft called the Fire Scout that can take off and land vertically on ships. But neither operate off aircraft carriers or possess strike capability.
Last year, the Navy awarded its first-ever contract for a drone that will be able to operate from a carrier. It isn't scheduled for deployment until 2025 and is also limited to reconnaissance missions.
That puts the Navy many years behind the Air Force, which first used an armed version of the Predator drone in combat in Afghanistan in 2001. The Air Force's latest version, the Reaper, can carry up to 14 Hellfire air-to-ground missiles or alternately, four Hellfires and two 500-pound bombs over Iraq, Afghanistan or other war zones.
Tom Ehrhard, an expert on unmanned aircraft at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments in Washington, predicted it would take pressure from Congress and the defense secretary to "continue to move the Navy down this path" toward an eventual armed drone. Ehrhard is a former Air Force officer.
The Air Force has taken some of its pilots out of the air to staff drones to try to keep up with increased demand from soldiers on the battlefield. But the Navy says drones are no substitute for trained pilots in the cockpit.
Unmanned aircraft are good for targeted strikes, but less effective in quick-changing, dynamic combat situations, said Navy fighter pilots aboard the USS Truman. The pilots contend that technicians piloting drones by video and computer from afar might not get a full visual sense - or the intangible "feel" - for a combat scene.
Drones also perform well in places with limited anti-aircraft capabilities - such as Iraq and Afghanistan - but could be easier targets for ground-based rockets in places with more advanced systems.
"There is a lot that I can do and relay and make decisions in real-time - based on being at the scene - that a guy is going to have a very difficult time making from one camera," said Cmdr. Bill Sigler, head of an F/A-18 fighter jet squadron on the USS Truman.
The Navy officially backs that position.
"Manned aircraft still retain relevancy in scenarios where airborne decision-making is critical to mission success," said Navy spokesman Lt. Clay Doss.
He cited close air support, where pilots provide air cover for troops on the ground, and also direct ground attack "where dynamic maneuvering and/or visual situational awareness is necessary."
The Navy will look at strike capability for future generations of its carrier drone, Doss said. But he stressed that the aircraft would not replace the Navy's fighter pilots anytime in the foreseeable future.
The Navy also worries about drone reliability and safety.
The Navy developed its first unmanned combat aircraft in the 1950s and 1960s. But the Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter, which operated off destroyers and frigates, was plagued by accidents and pilot error, and half were lost.
The Navy's current program consists of a $646 million contract to Northrop Grumman Corp. to build an unmanned jet, known as the X-47B, able to take off and land from an aircraft carrier. The first test flight is scheduled for late 2009, with a deployment date of 2025.
Since the drone won't carry any weapons, airstrikes will presumably be done by the next-generation F-35, which the Navy is expected to receive in 2015.
But Ehrhard noted a drone carrying the same weapons payload as the F-35 would have two and a half times the range of a manned aircraft without refueling, and could remain over the battlefield 5 to 10 times as long.
He called that increased reach critical as the military reduces the size and number of bases overseas, while needing to monitor remote spots around the globe.
"What the Navy doesn't want is a competitor for the F-35 program," said Ehrhard. "The F-35 program is their strike aircraft, so saying they are going to develop another strike aircraft conflicts with their own program."
Ehrhard said drones with full strike capability operating off aircraft carriers "will always be at least another generation of pilots away."

What do the Germans have to do with this?
My favorite gun is the M61A1 20mm gattling gun at 6000 rounds per minute in the F-4E.

When the Navy dropped the DASH Program they sold the drones to the Germans. Other than that, nothing.
There was nothing wrong with the DASH Program. Yes, they lost some drones but many of the destroyer skippers wouldn't let the crews fly enough to stay in practice. Many of the crews didn't pull the required operational checks to make sure they were flight worthy. The destroyer skippers wanted a real helo so that they could fly over to the carrier and suck up to the Admiral. They didn't see the DASH as helping their promotional chances.
I worked on those drones and we flew the **** ot of them in Vietnam chasing small boats and such. If I could have found a couple Ma Deuces to mount on the drone we would have been the terror of the South China Sea.
Did you know you could sink a small boat with a gallon can of hydrolic fluid by dropping it from a couple hundred feet.

Seriously, I wouldn't trust a single word published by the Associated Press.
I would also like to know what a Navy pilot would have to say about the feasibility of landing these drones on a carrier deck. My
would be that there are some lag time/response time issues that perhaps weren't discussed, or (more likely) were ignored by the leftist urinalist responsible for this hit piece on the Navy.
There are some Navy/Marine Corps jet-jocks on this board; maybe one or more of them will chime in, but as far as I'm concerned, the needs and missions of the Navy are different than those of the Air Force, and this particular MSM hit piece seems to want to gloss over those glaring differences.
When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual.

I agree 100 percent about the AP.
If you can land a drone helo on a pitching destroyer deck, a carrier is a piece of cake.
Actually they tried to use pilots to fly the drones and they couldn't do it because they got disoriented standing on the ground and watching the helo in the air. They kept trying to fly it as if they were sitting in the drone.
The drone was cheap compared to an airplane. The drone cost $100,000 ready to fly while the torpedoes we carried were over a million a piece. The Navy's attitude was if you dropped a million dollar weapon and killed a $500,000,000 submarine, they didn't really care whether you got the drone back or not.
As far as the Navy lagging behind, who else was flying offensive drones in 1960?

I just keep thinking about the army drones that we had flying in Iraq. Every few days, they would come out with a new piece of "intelligence" that they wanted us to investigate. The rocket tubes in a field were actually irrigation pipes. The farmer burying an IED was actually digging an irrigation ditch. The pickup with an IED in the back was never at the house they told us it was.
Basically, we wasted ridiculous amounts of time chasing down these false leads, sometimes stopping productive missions to do so. We received ZERO usable intelligence from these drones in our entire tour.
So, I have some sympathy for the Navy. Do drone operators really get a good feel for the battlefield? Can we really trust their judgment?

Heidi Klum Wears Mondo's 'Project Runway' Dress
Heidi Klum, 37, slithered into Guerra's black and white design for the event at Grauman's Chinese Theater, and she was all smiles while flaunting the sexy open back and revised (now sleeveless) silhouette.
In the October season finale episode of 'Runway,' Klum was adamant about loving the flamboyant design and wanting to wear it. Her opinion was shared by Jessica Simpson, guest judge for the Fashion Week episode, who said she was "obsessed" with Mondo's dots.
Eventually, the panel came to a consensus as the two other judges, fashion insiders Michael Kors and Nina Garcia (who called Guerra's line "overwhelming") leaned toward championing the subtler collection of Gretchen Jones, a Portland designer with a much earthier style.
Mondo may be having the last laugh now. "As I was packing to come back to Denver my cell phone rang and a bright, cheery, 'Hello' greeted me, with a German accent," he tells People.com. "I wasn't sure who it was, but the next thing I knew, the voice on the other end was asking me, 'Do you have my dress?'"
Next, Guerra scheduled an immediate fitting, then flew to his home in Denver and dashed to a fabric store. "The next morning, I came back to my studio and made the dress, shipped it overnight for early morning delivery," he recalls. "I knew she had received the dress, but was she going to wear it?"
Yes, she did!
Season 8 champ Gretchen Jones recently made a quirky video for Marie Claire magazine, and reflected to TV Guide about her 'Runway' competitor: "What Mondo and I represented were two very different aesthetics and perspectives. And I felt really grateful that Nina and Michael understood where I was coming from. I think they really understood me, not only as a designer, but what I represented in the fashion world. They were [the ones] I really was trying to reach. I knew it was going to be a battle from the minute I met Mondo, and I know both of our futures are bright."
Check out Mondo and his infamous dotty dress in this clip from 'Project Runway' season 8:

Mondo's looks were fresh and fashionable. Has Heidi worn grentchen's clothes yet?

Heidi Klum, 37, slithered into Guerra's black and white design for the event at Grauman's Chinese Theater, and she was all smiles while flaunting the sexy open back and revised (now sleeveless) silhouette. I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via age'lessmate.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king.

Heidi hasn't worn Gretchen's clothes yet, but the new manager wore one of her outfits to the Grand Opening of the new Dress Barn in that new strip mall just outside Paris, Texas.

Too bad she didn't stand up for him in the judging. Mondo was the winner, he is a designer. Gretchen belongs in long psychoanalysis. Her overgrown conceit about herself is really pathetic.
- Saturday 13 NovemberBy yappy
Obviously you didn't watch the finale. Heidi and Jessica were adamant in supporting Mondo. Not for the first time, Micheal Kors brow beat the other judges into submission. Gretchen could have sent potato sacks down the runway and Micheal would have made sure she one. He has done this in past shows, he picks his favorite designer and no matter what he ensures they win.
- Sunday 14 NovemberBy big d
Yeah you definitely didn't watch the finale. Heidi and Michael Kors almost came to blows. I've never seen anyone stand up to him like that before. She also had to fight Nina who I otherwise like. I wonder if you are aware that Heidi is executive producer and helped create Project Runway. She is very well entitled to her opinion and I don't see her 'overgrown conceit'.
- Sunday 14 NovemberBy themeeker
Well, to be fair, it was Michael and Nina against Heidi and the idiot Jessica Flintstone. Jessica's opinion is crap, so Heidi was outnumbered. I hated Gretchen's stuff, but I'm not a fashion expert. Nina and Michael are (supposedly).

That dress looked a lot better on the model who wore it on Project Runway...sorry Heidi.
- Saturday 13 NovemberBy Adele
I believe it's the missing sleeves that make you feel that way. The dress is much more striking with the long sleeves. There's definitely nothing wrong with how the dress fits Heidi. Go Mondo and Michael C! I'd buy Michael C's clothes in a second if I had the money.
- Sunday 14 NovemberBy thegrrrr8est
Yep. The sleeves made the dress. Just goes to show, a designer should stick to his vision and not listen to the critics. I wonder how long it's been since Kors actually designed a dress instead of just putting his name on the label.
- Sunday 14 NovemberBy themeeker
I don't think Mondo sacrificed his vision by removing the sleeves. The dress is basically his design tailored to the customer's taste. Mondo is awesome and look at all of the exposure he's getting. I think this is great for him.

Heidi look great in Mondo's dress.

I think they should have left the arms on, it made it more sophisticated. Heidi you wanted that dress and you got it. I think Mondo will go a long way and Heidi will push for him. Hope to see your clothes Mondo.
- Saturday 13 NovemberBy lin
love Mondo and all of his designs! Wish he had won instead of Gretchen. That was pretty cool of Heidi to wear his dress!
- Saturday 13 NovemberBy kris
Mondo was clearly the winner of this season's Project Runway. I do not think that I will watch the next season. Mondo was clearly robbed! Thumbs up to Heidi for supporting Mondo!
- Saturday 13 NovemberBy KMISSY
Bravo for Heidi and Mondo. He was clearly the winner. His designs and flare for color were fantastic. Gretcen's clothes have all been seen before, in 1960....

Board of Education says little about battle over unflattering letter
• Three of seven board members return calls for comment
By Joe McGehee
Staff Writer
The Rock River Times (TRRT) attempted to contact all seven members of the Rockford Board of Education seeking comment regarding District 205's failure to disclose an unflattering letter written by former Rockford Auburn High School Principal and current Freeport High School Principal Dr. Patrick Hardy. District 205 has yet to release the letter, despite the Public Access Council's (PAC) two denials of filings for the use of exemptions to keep the letter private.
Of the seven board members to receive calls, only three were reached for comment. Harmon Mitchell, Jude Makulec, Robert Evans and Alice Saudargas did not return calls made by TRRT as of press time.
David Kelley
When reached for comment, Board of Education President David Kelley said he was aware of the efforts by TRRT to acquire the letter. However, when asked if he was aware of the district's filing for the use of three exemptions—and the PAC's denial of the first two exemptions—Kelley said: "I don't recall. We usually get a status update."
Regarding District 205 spending $741,141.32 with Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP, between September 2009 and September 2010, Kelley replied, "We use them for a lot of legal issues that are beyond the capabilities of our in-house legal department."
Jeanne Westholder
Jeanne Westholder, Board of Education secretary, returned TRRT's call more than a week after the initial attempts to contact her.
"I've heard about it [TRRT's attempts to obtain the letter]," said Westholder. "But, I honestly don't know how I even know about it anymore. I'm aware of it, but I don't know how I'm aware of it."
When asked about the letter, Westholder repeatedly said, "I can't confirm or deny the existence of the letter." However, Westholder had confirmed receiving the letter in an Oct. 6-12 article, "District 205 battles to keep unflattering letter private."
With regard to her knowledge of the PAC rejecting two of the three use of exemptions filed by District 205, Westholder said, "I can't answer that; it's a legal matter."
Westholder, however, was aware of District 205's spending for legal representation with Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP.
"I'm aware of how much money we spend on legal fees," Westholder said. "It's been quite expensive, but the appropriate expenditures of money to represent District 205 is necessary."
Lisa Jackson
Lisa Jackson, Operations Committee member, had little to say regarding the issue. Jackson was aware of efforts by TRRT to obtain the letter, but had no knowledge of the district's filing for the use of three separate exemptions.
When asked about District 205's spending with Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP, Jackson said, "I don't recall that number, really, off the top of my head."

Obama announces plan to cut government waste
Monday - 6/13/2011, 1:59pm EDT
By JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama announced a new effort Monday to eliminate government waste and named his vice president to lead it.
Obama signed an executive order that creates an oversight board to work with federal departments and agencies to cut waste and improve performance. Vice President Joe Biden will meet regularly with Cabinet secretaries to chart progress.
Monday's announcement comes as the White House grapples for ways to both boost sluggish economic growth and chip away at the deficit.
"As we work to tackle the budget deficit, we need to step up our game," Obama said in a video announcing the Campaign to Cut Waste. "No amount of waste is acceptable _ not when it's your money, not at a time when so many Americans are already cutting back."
As examples of "pointless waste" and "stupid spending," Obama cited daily publication of the Federal Register despite the fact that it's available on the Internet and has been for years, duplication among federal websites and thousands of surplus federal buildings he hopes to begin selling off.
He said some of the cuts aren't big, but that no amount of waste is acceptable. The administration has identified $33 billion in savings for this year alone "and we're not finished," Obama said.
Biden said that eliminating fraud and waste is just one goal. "We hope to be instilling an entire new culture that not only our administration but every succeeding administration will in fact pursue," he said in the video announcement.

How do you make real looking fur in studio. I have couple of items I can use in studio that have fur trimming on them but I can never make them look real so I don't use them but really would like to.
thanks for any help
It's typically done with displacement, bump, and specular maps.

is there a tutorial that can help with this
sweetmaryphotos - 23 December 2012 09:28 AMHow do you make real looking fur in studio. I have couple of items I can use in studio that have fur trimming on them but I can never make them look real so I don't use them but really would like to.
thanks for any help
You might try our new baby, the Look at my Hair plugin: http://www.daz3d.com/shop/look-at-my-hair , which is currently on sale.
More information also on the official blog site: www.furrythings.com where is also available a library with Presets for most common figures, growing daily thanks also to user submissions.
Take a look also at the links in my signature for galleries, renders and additional info. Cheers.
Alessandro's Store
The biggest part of it is the displacement map. You want a fine-grained noise with steep valleys, and then use the min/max displacement values to determine the length of the fur. This approach will work in pretty much any renderer. If you're rather not try making your own noise map, and you own Santa Baby or deWinter, you could use the displacement map for the Fur surface in those products.
If you use DAZ Studio to render, and are looking for a canned solution, another option to consider is the Furify Shaders package. (There are also a couple examples of this shader set included in a some of the SuperSuit 'style' add-ons, like the one with the Barbarian outfit.) These shaders use Shader Mixer nodes to create a procedural noise map for the displacement. (Hence why they only work in DAZ Studio, as Shader Mixer is specific to Studio and the 3Delight renderer.)
Another option that has just been released is the Look at my Hair plugin for Studio. This can be used for both hair and fur, and gives you a great deal of control over how it will look. But control comes with a price, in that you have to take the time to style the hair/fur yourself, instead of just slapping on a surface shader and running with it. Depends on how much flexibility you need. LAMH requires Studio to create your hair/fur presets, but can be rendered with any rendering engine if you choose the OBJ export option. (If rendering in Studio with 3Delight, you're better off leaving it set to its default export of RenderMan splines.)

VIDEO: Sneak Peek at John Leguizamo, Billy Joel, Kim Cattrall and More in PBS's AMERICAN MASTERS: THE BOOMER LIST
From the time of its birth, the baby boomer generation (1946-1964) has significantly and uniquely changed our world. 2014 marks an important shift in American culture, as the last boomers turn 50. American Masters: The Boomer List, premiering nationwide Tuesday, September 23, 9-10:30 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), tells the story of this influential generation through the lives of 19 iconic boomers-one born each year of the baby boom-including New Age guru Deepak Chopra (b. 1947), singer-songwriter Billy Joel (b. 1949), fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger (b. 1951), author Amy Tan (b. 1952), actor Kim Cattrall (b. 1956), environmentalist Erin Brockovich (b. 1960) and artist David LaChapelle (b. 1963). Click below for a sneak preview of the documentary!
Intimate interviews by filmmaker/photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (The Black List,The Latino List, The Out List) focus on these individuals' exceptional achievements, struggles and identities, sharing the experiences of these extraordinary Americans and the history they lived through and often created. Subjects illuminate the key movements and changes that shaped the world during the baby boom years, discussing the environment; arts and entertainment; science; civil, LGBT and women's rights; law; politics; public service; sports; the military; technology and media.
"When I learned about this year's boomer milestone, I came up with the idea for The Boomer List," says Greenfield-Sanders, whose past films include About Face: Supermodels Then and Now andAmerican Masters - Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart. "The film captures the boomer generation's dynamic spirit through 19 distinct 'American Masters' who had a profound effect on our world."
"The Boomer List is a celebration of this generation's impact on American culture. It is impossible to encapsulate in just a few words, but thanks to the talent both on camera and behind the lens, this remarkable film offers an incredible chorus of voices that somehow captures the zeitgeist of this era," says Michael Kantor, executive producer of American Masters.

That was my late father's naturalization certificate, the day he became a U.S. citizen. If you ever wonder why immigration is so important to me, it's because my family is a family of immigrants: my father from Greece, my mother from El Salvador. And while I was born in Chicago, I spent my early years in El Salvador as well, and faced many of the challenges all immigrants face today (except, notably, a fear of deportation).
I can't describe the pride I felt when I found this fading piece of paper, ran my fingers across the seal, saw how my father would've looked to me when I was four. Let's just say I had a moment. So this debate is personal to me. Very much so.

Dual Sport fairings from Britannia Composites

Good timing on this subject, so I think the best thing is to do a complete blurb on everything we have recently been testing, with the new KTM 950/990 fairing as the catalyst for the exaustive testing process !
Existing Britannia Lighting options for the past 6 years
We have used Hella 90mm units with the OEM 65w Halogens and offered 35w HID upgrades on one or both lamps. Following expert advise we stuck with a specific low beam projector and a 'free flow' High beam unit and the wiring harness is configured so that the low beam remains 'on' when the Hi is switched, so you get both lights on Hi. This was a crucial decision, because it brings into play the importance of both lights complimenting each other so that they are not trying to do the same 'job' when on together. Equally important was the need to get maximum light from existing power outputs from most Dual sport bikes. So, my thinking was that most bikes spend their time with the low beam on and the extra 15w of the Hella halogen could be coped with easily. When the High beam is switched, there is a surge of another 65w, but the thinking was that bikes running at higher speed on Hi beam would cope for the period of time the Hi was on. This has been very successful with no real problems with electrics except on the 450 class bikes. The 35w HID conversions have been very popular and have taken the 'worry' out of using too much power. In 2013, 80% of all our fairings are sold with HID on one or both lights.
Problems and/or downsides over the past 6 years
1) Halogens get very Hot !
2) HID low beam sometimes have problems 'firing up', if battery on bike is weak.
3) Delay on Hi beam 'firing' up for the first time when cold.
4) Bulbs often do not last as long as they would in automotive environment.
Our testing conclusions in late 2013 and the future
So, I decided on a thorough, objective test on as many lights as we could get our hands on and to make it even better, by inviting some others to make their judgement as well. So, 5 guys in all, two of which are very experienced off road riders who consider 90 miles an hour on forest road, at night, to be the 'norm' !!
First off was the HID's which ranged from the Hella units we currently used at both 35w and 50w configurations, right up to the Baja Designs 8" HID, even though these would never fit into a fairing ! In particular, I wanted to establish whether the concept of a 'role specific' combination of two lights was still the best, so we had some Bi Xenon units as well.
Conclusion :
1) Lamps that 'dip' are no where near as effective as two separate lights. They are a compromise where neither the Low , or Hi requirement is effectively covered and really just a way to get two functions from one lamp. The low beam pattern is particularly compromised.
2) As a stand alone low beam lamp, nothing gave the accuracy and width as well as the Hella lamp we already use, but the 50w was understandably much better.
3) Hi beam units were all good at throwing the light into the far distance and the 8" Baja designs unit was 'exceptional' and whilst we can't use it in a fairing, it's clearly the one we were going to measure everything else against !
LED's - The answer to everybody's lighting need ! Hmm, maybe one day !
There are virtually no options available for a street legal LED low beam that isn't designed for a Bus/Semi and weighs as much as an artilary shell !! So, from what I can gather, the option is to try and 'dim' the LED so you don't blind everyone coming the other way. As far as I'm concerned, this is a non starter for anyone with an adventure bike as the concept of 'dimming' your light with a thousand oncoming headlamps in the pouring rain, is not an option ! So, it was back to the HID's for the low beam role and in all 5 observers opinion, the Hella low beam projector with 50w HID could not be bettered, on or off road. The light is even, wide and has a sharp cutoff, so that everything in front of you right up to the level of the rear mirror of a small car, was bathed in light.
So, the challenge was now on to find the best unit to match with the Hella projector and this is where the LED's could start to play a part. Now it might surprise you to hear that of all the LED's we tried, only the Squadron matched the HID's for distance penetration and this unit is drawing a massive ( for LED) 42w to do it. Although the penetration only 'matched' the 50w HID, the evenness of the light was better than any of the HID's. Only the 'unusable for us' 8" HID was better and then only slightly. For the doubters out there, I can tell you that when the Hella 50w HID was on with the Squadron LED, you turn any of the 18w LED offerings on as well and not know that it had been turned on
The overall conclusion
There is little doubt that LED is the lighting of the future, but the 'hype' of 18w units replacing HID is really just that - 'hype'. Don't get me wrong, an 18w unit can be as good as a typical OEM high beam offering and they are not that expensive, but thye are not in the same league as the high end HID lighting and not in the same league as the 42w squadron.
Perhaps the most important issue learnt from this testing is that it's not just the amount of light that's important, but how it's focused and where it's pointed ! This issue particularly came up with the two offroad 'nutcases', where they expressed that where one light overlaps the other, you get a 'hotspot' of light that pulls your eyes towards it which is not good. In particular, it's important that the Hi beam drills well into the distance, whilst the low beam looks after the 'less important' nearer area. You could see this happening where in some combinations, the 35w low beam was better than the 50w version, because it kept you looking ahead, because the nearside was slightly less lit up.
So, keeping in mind that we only do dual sport fairings, where road riding is important (not 'off road only'), we will be sticking with our Hella HID low beam on all our fairings next year, but may offer 50w as well as 35w versions. We have decided to fit the Squadron LED as the HI beam for the upcoming 950/990 fairing, not just because of the light, but also for the instant ON/OFF and slightly lighter weight + it looks cool in the 'stacked' light configuration !
We also have a Squadron LED fitted into a Lynx for the Hi beam that is being tested in our new KTM 950SE Lynx kit and if this shakes out OK, then it will be an option in early '14.
The squadron ain't cheap, so we will also be looking at another lower powered LED to match up with the 35w Hella HID for an upcoming KLR fairing.
Cheers and happy Holidays

My Book o' Sketches - Jun 29, 2011
Hi! I'm starting my sketchbook (and getting more involved with the internet world of art) in hopes of improving my 2d work for my portfolio. I'm a computer animation grad so most of my time in the past few years has been spent on 3d art instead of 2d. I'm hoping to get more into life drawing/figure sketching (work on the basics, etc), and also create some solidly stylized character/environment design.
So yes, I'm open to critiques, suggestions, etc, (especially on what comprises a well rounded 2d portfolio) ... I'm looking to improve.
Errr, here's some stuff to start this off with for now:

Your character designs are excellent. They really show a lot of life. Your environments are lacking in comparison (though you didnt post as many examples). Environments will improve from doing some studies either from life, or study from photos. I like to work from movies with nice landscapes or interesting compositions (LOTR, No country for old men, The Good the Bad and the Ugly etc...)
nice work. hope you continue posting

Awesome start to your SB! *subscribed* I don't think you'll have any trouble getting work as a 2d artist once you get a portfolio together. Especially since you have the 3d skills as well. Please keep on posting.
PS Pick up a copy of "The Daily Zoo" by Chris Ayers if you can. "The Art of Kung Fu Panda" book would be right up your alley as well. Both are full of top -notch stylized character designs. Some excellent enviros, too, in the panda book.

Your colors are well thought. I can't seem to find any critics. I only wish to see more.

Thank you everyone!
Having a thread to continue my work is inspiring me to draw more ))
@ a_mckeown: Thanks for the advice I have way less experience making/drawing environments, and a tendency to avoid using drawing references....some things I hope to remedy. Enviros are a weak spot, I'll have to check out some nice ones, I never thought to look at movies, however.
@ Traveler: I don't have either of those books yet but I know I love love the work especially in the Panda artbook (especially Nico Marlet's designs), also I've looked through the "How to Train your Dragon" book and I may like it even more.
So here is some new stuff from yesterday (the owls and deer)
And my friend convinced me to upload some 3d work (and maybe some other older stuff later) so I'll throw up a couple of 3d characters I did. The last one is a self caricature model I did for school. The old lady is a thesis character (Mabel).

WOW just wow, i dont even know where to start... the shape design on your characters is absolutely perfect, very creative and appealing. your drawings just have so much form to them. even the little alligator feels 3d even though it's on paper!! just the way you use lines has this great flowy and hearty quality to them... i've never seen 3d art with such a nice color palette too, like the colorization in mabel's skin is great. love how her ears and nose are reddish
keep up the excellent work, i really do enjoy it a lot : )

what the...
seriously strong start to a SB... mine is 11 pages long and you have more decent material here than in the whole of mine! :o
I really like the stylisation and concept works you have for characters and animals. The 3D work is great too of course, but its not really a field I know anything about. Definitely subscribed!

Truly amazing work! I want to see more!

A Bothell naturopath is appealing his license suspension after the Department of Health accused him of treating patients with an experimental vaccine, never telling them it wasn't FDA approved.
Now, a dozen of his patients told KING 5 they can't receive their treatment, which they credit with saving their lives.
I didn't want to do anything, Lois Lawrence said.
Her cancer diagnosis came at the worst time. Her grandson was three months old when she learned Multiple myeloma could kill her before his first birthday.
I looked at my grandson in that little car seat and I thought, 'I wonder how long I'll get to see him,' Lawrence said.
That was 13 years ago, and Lawrence has yet to undergo chemotherapy or radiation. She credits Dr. John Catanzaro for saving her life with a cancer vaccine he developed.
He told me it was experimental, Lawrence said. He told me it was not FDA approved.
But the Department of Health accuses Dr. Catanzaro of keeping that a secret from two patients.
In documents filed in January, the DOH suspends Dr. Catanzaro's license, and his cancer vaccine, claiming he never told those patients the FDA had not approved the treatment.
The documents also claim he didn't keep adequate patient records, and argue there's no proof the therapy even works.
But tell that to Sandra Orman.
The size of an olive at the base of my brain, she described. It's shrinking. And that's really exciting.
A brain tumor brought her to Dr. Catanzaro's clinic four years ago. Like Lawrence, though, Orman's no longer able to receive the vaccine.
At 81, Lawrence's husband, Dale, still works three days a week to pay for the treatment.
Gives us some hope that we'll be together for quite a bit longer, he said.
His wife counts her years as a cancer survivor by her grandson's age. A prayer, she believes, Dr. Catanzaro answered.
I really don't think I'd be alive and a lot of other people wouldn't either, Lawrence said.
