Sketchbook - Road to Improvement
One of my worst habits is not doing enough studies and because of that my art is going no where. So I'm gonna try and post something, anything each day.

Welcome to CA! An admirable aspiration to attempt to post something new everyday...
To start off, I'd say that the ear is bit big, but other than that it's a well executed study!
Good luck!

You really seem to focus on studies. I will subscribe to get to know about how to do those. I can hardly tell you what's wrong or bad on your studies, as I am just at the very beginning of art. Do you just try to draw very rough sketches of common objects and animals? That's to get the shape correctly if you need it in a real painting right? In other words it makes you paint faster, as the forms get more familiar. I see how that is important. I must do these too Your SB will keep me motivated to post more often I hope
Thank you for your pictures. They help me.

the apple looks much better than the fruit on your earlier post. I think the smooth feeling of the apple applies quite good. Some shadows are missing in the hole on the top. Maybe this would give it some more depth.

I made the same promise to myself in my own sketchbook, about posting something everyday, and I found it extremely difficult as well : P. But hey, keep at it, man. Some advice, loosen up a bit more with your gesture drawings, and try to make less lines. Focus more on the fluidity of the pose and less on the contours, and proportions (those come later). If I may recommend a book, it'd be Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing - Design and Invention. If you haven't read it you should, it's an excellent book, and will really help with drawing the figure.
Hope that helps. Good luck!

Fifty gestures that I've done today.
April 20th, 2012 #18
Been trying to squeeze in a few studies in between work and commissions. Here are some head sketches from Burne Hogarth's "Dynamic Figure drawing" and Allan Kraayvanger's "Secrets to drawing heads"
Most of these are done in pen.

Some eyes and hands I did a few days ago.
May 14th, 2012 #23
Hi MrWolf, looking good here. Keep drawing and posting, it'll pay off.
Quick note: When you draw eyes it's easy to make the lids look flat and ultra thin. Be careful about what kind of lines to use to depict them. In the upper left corner of the latest sketch page the eyelid seems to have no thickness to it at all - that might be something to pay attention to. A guy called Robolus on these forums draws eyes pretty well, as far as I can remember... might wanna check him out.
Keep 'em coming..!

41 year old woman | Rosemount, MN, USA | Seeking men 36-44 within 50 miles
Hi there. I welcome you to read my profile and get to know me a little better.
I believe that a man with a sense of humor is very sexy and appealing. I enjoy light banter and witty remarks, I am always a work in progress in this department...but realize I mostly just amuse myself. I am open to short term dating (because it is fun and you learn a lot about yourself and others) but know that ultimately I am looking for a long term relationship. I love: laughter, honesty, a great conversation over a glass of wine, cocktails on sun-filled patios, reading, music (all types), sleeping in, going to live sporting events, bonfires, poker/cards and movies. I like to spend my free time working out, I also like hanging out with friends, listening to live music at local bars and dancing (not a prerequisite for you but certainly would be a bonus for me, I will not judge you if you need a little liquid courage), I love hanging out with my sons and going to their sporting events. I enjoy camping, hiking and fishing. (even if I don't catch anything:) ) A typical Sunday morning for me is listening to acoustic sunrise on Cities 97 with a great cup of coffee. I enjoy going out a night or two on weekends but really am just as happy spending time at home. I would love to hear from you if you are looking to go out for conversation over drinks or maybe you want to take me to a sporting event but won't mind if I ask a question or two about the rules of the game (seriously....the rules can be a little confusing), you want to listen to live music but would prefer to have someone to go with, or you think life is good but know it could be better sharing it with someone else (maybe me)! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and good luck to you!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Dancing, Football, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs, Fish
Middle of the Road
I enjoy going up North, renting a cabin and just relaxing. The annual Vegas trip is a lot of fun. I would love to meet someone that I can travel with. Lots of places I have yet to experience and would love to share those adventures with someone.
I love all types of music for the most part but country is my favorite. I can bring you to the other side if you aren't already there:) You probably won't find me without a good book to read. I love to have a glass of wine and watch a movie.
I enjoy hanging out with my friends listening to music and having good conversation. I enjoy watching sports but need someone to teach me more about the rules of the games. I like to hang out at a lake, have campfires and relax.
I always have a book to read. I like everything from memoires to a good juicy suspense novel. I am one of those nutty people who gets a little crazy if I don't have a good book to read:)

Jeff Parke insists he is not worried too much about missing USA selection despite his Philadelphia Union coach John Hackworth backing him for Juergen KlinsmannŌĆÖs squad.
30-year old Parke made his only appearance for the US against Panama at the beginning of 2012 and although Hackworth feels he should be involved in the squad for World Cup qualifiers this week and next, the defender is not getting carried away.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not worried about it and not really thinking about it too much,ŌĆØ Parke told MLSsoccer.com.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs always good to get called in, so that would be a plus. But IŌĆÖm more focused right now on playing here and getting this team to winning ways and doing good things here.ŌĆØ
Hackworth said of Parke: ŌĆ£I think IŌĆÖm biased right now because I think Jeff has been so good for us.
ŌĆ£But when I read the things about the national team and some of the questions they have at center back, certainly with a very biased opinion, I think Jeff should be included in some of those conversations.ŌĆØ

Food in general can be unhealthy, fruit and vegetables are most always sprayed with pesticides and pre-made food has tons of preservatives. It does not need to be fast food to be bad for you. People that eat clean can get illnesses and so can those who eat badly. Balance in diet seems best.

Top Tips to Reduce Your Energy Bill for Winter LEEDS, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 12/11/12 -- Asda Mumdex research reveals that two thirds of mums say money and finances are the biggest concern in their life; this comes as energy bills are set to rocket this winter.(i) The current economic climate is a huge challenge for the nation, particularly cash-strapped families and mums. Asda Mumdex research shows that 64% of mums pay for bills and deal with service providers; 77% of mums in a relationship manage the household budget. With this in mind and in the wake of energy suppliers all announcing price hikes, it could be worth finding ways to reduce your energy bill now. British Gas, SSE, Scottish Power, Npower and EDF Energy have all announced price hikes-pushing up the average annual dual fuel bill by GBP 80-GBP 122.(ii) Millions of households will be affected by the changes; however, Asda Money offers top tips on how to reduce energy bills this winter. 1. Switch suppliers One of the most effective and fastest ways of reducing your energy bill is by switching suppliers. The Asda Energy Compare & Save tool could help households save up GBP 331 a year by switching providers online.(iii) 2. Get insulated There are a number of ways you can try to keep your energy bills down and one of them involves good insulation. Loft insulation, wall cavity insulation and draught exclusion can provide households with a total saving of around GBP 220 a year.(iv) Another way to prevent heat from escaping through windows is to invest in thick curtains and keep them closed. 3. Be energy efficient A simple and effective way to reduce your energy bills is to reduce your energy usage. Some 25% of an average household's energy consumption is caused by lighting.(v) It could be worth turning off lights in rooms that are not in use and using energy saving lightbulbs instead.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
With this in mind, perhaps, Rahzel M. Brown has sought to do for his huffing-and-puffing comrades what Mixmaster Mike and others have done for DJs. Just as turntablists take pains to describe their pastime as an "art form," Rahzel refers to himself as a "vocal percussionist" in his bio. He wants to be taken seriously--not as some glorified version of that funny-noise-making dude in the Police Academy movies. Last year the Roots member released Make the Music 2000 (MCA), a solo debut that sounds almost stern for an album named after a song by clown prince of hip hop Biz Markie. Rahzel's clench-fisted, steely-eyed delivery on some tracks is more Rakim than the Biz, more Bob Newhart than (Rappin') Rodney Dangerfield. And given Rahzel's reputation for stuffing a whole studio into his larynx--a talent he'll bring to First Avenue on Tuesday--it's no shock that the most exciting moments on Make are the live interludes between studio numbers.
There were plenty of human beatboxes before Rahzel, of course (locals will tip their tams to Truth Maze). But no one put phlegm skills in the underground's limelight like the Roots with their emergence in the mid-Nineties. Rahzel gained wider notoriety from 1997's Soulful Fruit compilation (Stones Throw Records), which featured the MC squaring off against turntablist Rob Swift (the match sounded like a kazoo dueling a musical saw). But Make was the first solo album by anyone selling himself primarily as a beatbox--unlike, say, Doug E. Fresh or the Fat Boys, who gathered under the proverbial lamppost to master wacky, pomo, inner-city doo-wop roughly 17 years ago.
Rahzel's creative kin might have been immune from the legal hassles endemic to mechanical beat-jackers. Yet human beatboxing was once responsible for generating the weirdest hip-hop-related legal decision in history--much better than the time a judge invoked the Seventh Commandment to rule against the Biz for sampling Gilbert O'Sullivan's 1973 hit "Alone Again (Naturally)." In 1988 the Fat Boys sued Miller Beer for copyright infringement when the company hired Joe Piscopo to dress up like the former Disco Three, "rap," and perform human beatbox noises for a TV ad. The judge sided with the corpulent three (though Piscopo and Miller should also have been prosecuted for crimes against humanity). In one of the most unintentionally funny summary judgments ever written, the court stated, "A jury could find that the 'Hugga Hugga' and 'Brrr' sounds, used as lyrics in the copyrighted work, are sufficiently creative to warrant copyright protection."
Acolytes take note, though: Beatboxing can be hazardous to your health. Just before Darren "Buff" Robinson died in 1996, the Fat Boys' hefty human beatbox was reportedly standing on top of a chair entertaining friends with his skills. He strained too hard and apparently "Hugga Hugga"-ed his heart out. Today singles like "Human Beat Box" and "Stick Em" are towering pillars of pop-music weirdness. We'll never know what other sorts of tricks Robinson had up his, um, throat.

Autonomous vehicles and personal transportation pods featured quite heavily in our recent round-up of the Top Ten railways of the future, and the JPods concept from Bill James has both. At the center of the scheme is a driverless, on-demand electric four to six seat vehicle suspended beneath an overhead rail structure, which is topped with photovoltaic panels. A user would let the JPod know the desired location via a touchscreen interface and the vehicle's networked computer system would determine the best route and motor there without further input from the passenger.

Jeter gets 4 hits as Yankees beat White Sox 7-1
CHICAGO (AP) — It started with a pregame video and ran all the way through the final out and a high-five line for the New York Yankees. This was the Derek Jeter show, and it was quite a performance for the shortstop's farewell tour.
Jeter had four hits and Masahiro Tanaka rebounded nicely from his first major league loss, leading the Yankees to a 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
"I just want to try to help us win. That's it," Jeter said. "Our job is, if there's a guy on second base and I've got to hit a ground ball to second to move him over, I'll do it. I don't think about personal statistics. I think about trying to help us win."
He certainly played a key role as the Yankees closed out an extended stay in Chicago with a pair of wins against the White Sox.
Brett Gardner had a big two-run single in New York's four-run second inning, and Brian Roberts added a solo homer in the eighth in his return to the lineup after missing a game with a sore right knee.
"Everyone contributed today," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Tanaka (7-1) pitched into the seventh inning as New York improved to 3-3 on its unusual nine-game trip to Chicago and St. Louis. The Yankees split two games against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, and then had another split in their four-game set on Chicago's South Side.
Conor Gillaspie had two hits and drove in a run for the White Sox, who had won eight consecutive home games against New York before Saturday's 4-3 loss in 10 innings. Gillaspie is batting .364 (20 for 55) in his past 15 games.
Andre Rienzo (4-1) struck out seven in five innings, but allowed four earned runs and seven hits.
"It seemed all day he was working from behind," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He wasn't getting ahead. He just wasn't as sharp as he's been in previous outings — and it cost him."
Jeter once again heard loud cheers throughout the day in what likely was his final game in Chicago. The 13-time All-Star plans to retire after the season.
"It's one of my favorite cities, and the way the fans have treated me these two series here, it's been tremendous," Jeter said. "It's something I'll always remember."
The White Sox showed a video highlighting Jeter's background before the game and presented the 39-year-old shortstop with three gifts: a baseball-themed bench made by former White Sox and Yankees player Ron Kittle, enclosed infield clay from the shortstop area at U.S. Cellular Field and a $5,000 donation to Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation.
Jeter waved to the sellout crowd of 39,142 after he received the gifts from White Sox slugger Paul Konerko, who also plans to retire after the season. He also acknowledged the home dugout, where the White Sox applauded the pregame ceremony from the top step.
Once the game started, it was all business for the captain.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Government backs London police chief over shooting probe
By Tim Castle
LONDON (Reuters) – The British government expressed
confidence on Saturday in London police chief Ian Blair, under
pressure over the police killing of a Brazilian electrician
mistaken for a would-be suicide bomber.
The family of Jean Charles de Menezes, shot eight times by
police on an underground train last month, have called on Blair
to quit after leaked investigation documents cast doubt on the
official version of events and highlighted police blunders.
But Home Secretary (interior minister) Charles Clarke said
he was satisfied with how Blair and his force had responded to
deadly suicide bomb attacks in London on July 7 and an
attempted second wave of strikes two weeks later.
"I'm very happy with the conduct not only of Sir Ian Blair
but the whole Metropolitan Police Service in relation to this
enquiry," Clarke told the BBC.
He said people should not pass judgment before the results
of an independent investigation into the shooting, which took
place the day after the failed second set of attacks.
"There are very important issues about the death of Mr de
Menezes and what happened and how it took place which rightly
should be investigated," he said. "We have a process for doing
Earlier on Saturday, police said they had reviewed the
controversial "shoot-to-kill" policy for suicide bombers after
the killing of de Menezes but left it largely unchanged.
"We have reviewed it and we have made one or two small
changes, but the operation remains essentially the same," a
spokeswoman for the London police force said.
The spokeswoman declined to detail the changes but Blair
said officers would continue to use lethal force if necessary.
"The methods that were used appeared to be the least worst
option (for tackling suicide bombers) … we still have the
procedure in use," he told the Daily Mail newspaper.
British police spent years studying how to deal with
suicide bombers but the issue became acute following the July 7
attacks in which four British Moslem men killed themselves and
52 other people on three underground trains and a bus.
Len Duval, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority
which oversees policing in London, said there was a growing
consensus for a public inquiry into the "shoot-to-kill" policy
but it was a decision for the government.
On the day of the shooting Blair said de Menezes was under
surveillance as part of a hunt for suspects from the July 21
attacks and had not responded to police challenges. The next
day police admitted they had shot an innocent man and

david ebony's top ten
Barbara Ess at Curt Marcus
In one photo, great expanses of beautifully nuanced black dissolve to a pinkish sky at top center, which illuminates a golden lake. A pair of long, sleek legs diagonally traverses the composition from the lower right toward the center. While the rest of the figure is unseen, the occupant of this sensuous landscape is undoubtedly in the midst of a wonderful dream.
Another dreamlike image shows a girl in a party dress that seems backlit by celestial light. But things can be more unsettling, particularly in the pictures of suburban homes that seem about to be engulfed by fierce storms. One of the most poignant pieces is a multipanel work which hints at a personal meditation on the interconnectedness of art, nature and the photographic process. Here, filling one wall, is a group of nine rectangular images of spotlit organic forms accompanied by a single oval self-portrait.

Stopping The Spread Of A Deadly Childhood Bone Cancer

In a critical step toward finding a way to stop metastasis, researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center say they have discovered an agent that prevents this type of cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice with the disease.
The new agent stops or inhibits "ezrin," a protein vital to the spread of osteosarcoma, say the researchers who presented their findings today at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2012. If proven effective in human studies, their ezrin inhibitor might potentially treat adults whose cancers are fueled by over-expression of this protein, and could be a life-saver for children with bone tumors.
"If we can prevent metastatic disease in osteosarcoma, we will significantly improve survival and quality of life for these patients," says the study's senior investigator, Aykut Ãœren, M.D., an associate professor of oncology, and of biochemistry and molecular & cellular biology at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The molecule they discovered represents the first-in-class ezrin inhibitor, he says. "In addition to its potential clinical application, an ezrin inhibitor will be an extremely valuable tool in the laboratory as we work to better understand how ezrin works."
Ezrin is present in many types of cells in the body including cancer cells. It controls how the cell interacts with its environment, how the cell moves and how it survives in new locations.
In osteosarcoma, the tumor cells that produce high levels of ezrin are more aggressively invasive, Ãœren says. "Ezrin also helps cancer cells survive when they reach the lungs. If an osteosarcoma cell with no ezrin spreads to the lung, it can't grow there. Having too much ezrin makes it easier for cancer cells to move to the lungs and, once there, it gives these cells a growth advantage."
Osteosarcoma most commonly develops around knee and shoulder joints in children and is "relatively easy to treat the tumor on the limbs, but when the lungs are involved, patients usually die due to pulmonary insufficiency," he says.
If successfully developed, an ezrin inhibitor may be useful in preventing the spread of other tumors, too. Breast cancers, colon cancers, melanoma, ovarian carcinoma, brain tumors, and soft tissue sarcomas all show evidence that too much ezrin may mean poor survival outcomes for the patient, says Ãœren.
Ãœren and his research team are currently testing several novel compounds in other disease models, including rhabdomyorsarcoma (tumors of the skeletal muscles). They also are making derivatives of several compounds to further increase effectiveness. Some of these new derivatives are also presented the same annual meeting of the AACR today.
"Although we feel we have made a great discovery towards establishing a novel targeted therapy, we are far from our ultimate goal of using this in humans," Ãœren says.
Other investigators on this work include Jared T. Murdoch, Sung-Hyeok Hong, Gulay Bulut, George W. Kosturko, Lauren E. Drebing, and Jeffrey A. Toretsky, all of Georgetown Lombardi. The authors also wish to thank Milton Brown and Mikell A. Paige for their contributions.
The study has been funded by a peer reviewed grant support from The Children's Cancer Foundation® of Baltimore, Md. and the Department of Defense.
Ãœren, Bulut, Kosturko, Toretsky, Brown and Paige are named as co- inventors on a patent application that has been filed by Georgetown University related to technology described in this abstract.

US minesweepers engines removed as dismantling continues
MANILA, Philippines—The USS Guardian dismantling operation continued on Thursday after the grounded US Navy minesweeper's four engines were removed and transferred to a barge by the lead crane ship Jascon 25, the Philippine Coast Guard said.
Lieutenant Commander Armand Balilo, chief of the Coast Guard's public affairs office, said the US Navy-contracted salvage team had "successfully removed one of the Guardian's two diesel generators, as well as the two cranes at its fantail."
In a text message to the Inquirer, he also disclosed that "the team would continue removing today the pipeline shaft and other materials in the ship's engine room and the vessel's gas turbine generator."
Noting "wind speeds of 11 to 15 knots and swells of up to 1.2 meters" in the Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea, Balilo said "the weather has been very good and favorable to continue the ship dismantling operation."
Early this week, the Commodore Enrico Efren Evangelista, head of Task Force Tubbataha and commander of the Coast Guard's Palawan district, said the salvage team had dismantled about 50 percent of the Guardian.
The salvage team is "expecting calm weather in the next three to four days so work will continue on the USS Guardian," he added.
Aside from the PCG, the task force includes the Philippine Navy, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Tubbataha Reef Foundation and local government units in the island-province of Palawan.
The 68-meter USS Guardian ran aground on the reef on Jan. 17. Salvage work began on February 22 but was suspended at least four times due to bad weather.

As of Friday, March 1, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
CONYERS -- A man convicted Thursday for a bank robbery at Wells Fargo Bank was sentenced Friday to two consecutive life sentences plus an additional 10 years in prison.
Michael Odle was found guilty in Rockdale Superior Court in the Sept. 2, 2011, robbery and was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Robert Mumford. Because of Odle's extensive criminal history, including four prior convictions for robbery with a deadly weapon in Maryland, he will not be eligible for parole.
"We hope Odle's conviction and sentence will send a message to armed robbers and career criminals," said Senior Assistant District Attorney Dabney Y. Kentner. "They would do well not to prey on the innocent citizens of Rockdale County."
Testimony and other evidence presented at trial established that Odle, 38, pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the tellers at the Dogwood Drive bank and demanded that they put money in a bag. Odle ordered several customers in the bank to get on the floor at gun point.
Officers of the city of Conyers Police Department apprehended Odle and his accomplice minutes after Odle left the bank. Police recovered all but $200 of the stolen money.
Kentner and Supervisory Assistant District Attorney Alisha Adams credited the city of Conyers Police Department with the successful prosecution. Officer Shyra Hardwick initially spotted the car in which Odle and his accomplice, Daniel Gustavo Honzu, 32, were traveling on Gees Mill Road. Honzu pulled the car into a parking lot and both Honzu and Odle got out of the car. Honzu then surrendered to Officer Hardwick, but Odle ran into a densely wooded unpopulated area with thick underbrush.
CPD officers set up a perimeter and combed the woods searching for Odle. The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office assisted in the search. CPD officers Sgt. Kristen Moore and Sgt. Guy Sanders found Odle lying on the ground in an attempt to conceal himself from police.
Color video from the bank's surveillance system showed the clothing the robber wore, including a cloth mask that completely covered his face. Odle shed his outer clothing while on the run in the woods, but police recovered the clothing in the wooded area, including the cloth mask and a pair of gloves.
Honzu, the driver of the getaway car, pleaded guilty last June. Former Chief Judge Sidney L. Nation Sr., sentenced him to 15 years, with the first 11 to be served in prison.

Special Correspondent
Says in return UK is open to investments from Indian companies
CHENNAI: The scale, breadth and diversity of Indo-British relationship makes it unique, according to Mike Connor, British Deputy High Commissioner in Southern India. "But we cannot afford to be complacent. We could do better," he said.
Mr. Connor was speaking on opportunities for economic partnership between India and the UK as part of the series of Ambassador's talks organised by the Centre for Security Analysis at the GRT convention centre. Before his appointment in August 2005, he was closely involved in the conceptualisation and design of the Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO). His call for greater liberalisation was clear. "Yes, the process needs managing, but there can be no going back," he said. India and Britain, he believes, are ideal partners.
The two countries share a vibrant secular democratic tradition, business culture, legal, banking and financial structures, even passions for curry and cricket.
"The trade and investment partnership is strong," Mr. Connor said adding that the UK was the third largest investor in India over the last 15 years.
His advice today to UK companies is that they have to be in India if they are serious about trade and investment. However, Mr. Connor said there were many roadblocks to FDI in market sectors which the UK considered its strength. In financial services, he pointed to the limits on shareholdings for foreign joint venture partners, ceilings on foreign shareholding in banks and the prevention of Lloyd's of London from operating in the insurance sector.
In legal services, he called for India to allow law firms to practice, and in retail he urged India to remove caps so that UK companies could invest in logistics and agriculture.
To facilitate investments in infrastructure, he commended the work of IFSL and Partnerships UK who offered public private partnership (PPP) training for government officials and the private sector. In return, Mr. Connor said, the UK was open to investment from Indian companies. Fifty per cent of all Indian investment in the EU is into the UK. Apart from Tata Steel, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and others, many mid-cap companies have used the UK as a platform for their international expansion plans.
He stressed the need for wide and long standing partnerships between research and development communities in the two countries, and highlighted the quality of the UK's scientific and technological skills base in cutting edge technology – from inventing HTML, cell phones, GPRS, and fibre optics to the iPod.
He also announced that the UK had committed nearly £25 million over five years to strengthening research links through its Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI). Last year South India accounted for the largest proportion of the awards given under this programme.
The bilateral trade between India and the UK is worth over £8 billion and rising. "The mix of ambition and opportunity is a win–win situation for both India and the UK," Mr Connor said.
"We need to train ourselves to look beyond our comfort zones, look at newer areas of partnership and collaboration". R. Sheshasayee, Managing Director of Ashok Leyland, said India needed to address trade policy frameworks in order to be convinced whether the country was not giving away opportunities out of fear of lack of ability to compete.

My big stuntman has also been out and about on his bike, but Mum never gets to take photos of him!
You have to be quick to get those shots!
erm, err, erm...I'm owning up. I didn't take them, my friend did. My camera is very sloooooow these days so I hardly ever get a decent moving shot!
He's getting pretty good at these jumps and tricks I must say, it scares me to watch him! One day he's going to be old enough to go off to the woods and do them like his big brother. I can imagine the pair of them trying out some Jackass style stunts.....arrrrrgh!
OMG, I had a fit just looking at the pictures!!!LOL! When did he get so big?
It is scary but to be honest they been on wheels ever since they could, they were riding without stabilisers at 3 years old which I didn't think much of 'til they started school and most of the other children were still learning, so i don't tend to worry as much as maybe I should!Originally Posted by Kate, post: 251475

31 January 2013 22:58 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Here is Thursday's end of day Americas oil and chemical market summary from ICIS.
CRUDE: Mar WTI: $97.49/bbl, down 45 cents; Mar Brent: $115.55/bbl, up 65 cents
NYMEX WTI crude futures sold down on sentiment that the recent gains had been overdone and also was driven by a downside correction in gasoline (RBOB) futures. A rally on Brent in response to geopolitical worries and an improved demand outlook pared the WTI losses.
RBOB: Feb: $3.0258/gal, down 1.29 cents/gal
Reformulated blendstock for oxygen blending (RBOB) gasoline futures prices settled lower as the February prompt contract expired at the close of today's session. RBOB futures had steadily increased by more than 30 cents/gal since 16 January.
NATURAL GAS: Mar: $3.339/MMBtu, up 0.4 cents
Futures contracts on the NYMEX natural gas market settled slightly up, after a volatile session where prices see-sawed up and down several cents. Prices had been boosted by cooler near-term weather predictions and a positive weekly gas report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), though longer-term demand fundamentals remain weak.
ETHANE: higher at 26 cents/gal
Ethane spot prices were higher, decoupling from crude and other energy commodities.
AROMATICS: toluene up at $4.25-4.27/gal, mixed xylene wider at $4.50-4.65/gal
Prompt n-grade toluene reportedly traded up at $4.26/gal FOB (free on board) during the day. The reported trade was up form $4.22-4.24/gal FOB the previous session. Meanwhile, prompt mixed xylene (MX) discussions were at wider during the day as offers firmed. The prompt MX range for the day was further apart compared with $4.50-4.60/gal FOB the previous day.
OLEFINS: Feb ethylene down at 64 cents/lb, PGP offer down at 75.625 cents/lb
US ethylene for February traded down from deals done at 65.25-66.00 cents/lb on Tuesday. Polymer-grade propylene (PGP) for February was offered down from a deal at 76 cents/lb the previous day against a bid at 74 cents/lb.

Homer Stryker Field at Mayor's Riverfront Park
From BR Bullpen
- Location: Kalamazoo, MI
- Left Field Wall: 306 ft.
- Center Field Wall: 395 ft.
- Right Field Wall: 330 ft.
- Seating Capacity: 4000 (approximately)
[edit] History and Development
In 1895, The city of Kalamazoo purchased land along the Kalamazoo River for city improvements. The land lay unused for 30 years, until the city developed it into Riverfront Park in 1925. In 1929, thanks to a generous donation of $250.00, the first baseball field was built at the Riverfront Park. It was not untill 1949 that the first bleachers were built and the park could become the host of professional baseball.
In the early 1950's, Riverfront Park was the home of one of the nation's first women's professional baseball teams, the Kalamazoo Lassies, as well as several semi-professional and amateur teams. In the Spring of 1958, the first lights were added to the park, and in 1963, the bleachers were replaced by grandstands further modernizing the ball field at Riverfront Park.
In 1967, the park was renamed Sutherland Field in honor of Mayor Louis W. Sutherland, who had been instrumental in the development of baseball in Kalamazoo.
[edit] 1995-Present, Kalamazoo's Modern Baseball Era
After years of being unused, the 1990's saw a Sutherland Field which had become overgrown with weeds and was being used by the city as a place to deposit their collected leaves and brush. In 1995, Kalamazoo's City Commission approved the building of an improved sports complex at Riverfront Park. The complex, which included Sutherland Field was renamed Annen Park after Mayor Ed Anned Jr. who was central to the development of the project. Renovations to the park were completed in 1996, and the complex re-opened as the home of the Kalamazoo Kodiaks of the independent Frontier League. The Kodiaks were far from successful on the field, and the annual attendance for 1998 was a meager 41,331. The team left Kalamazoo following the 1998 season.
In 2001, the park was cleanded up and reopended as the home of the Kalamazoo Kings of the Frontier League. The following year Annen park was renamed Mayor's Riverfront Park to honor all of the mayors who had served Kalamazoo and helped to develop baseball in the city.
That year, the Stryker family donated the funds to build a club house and make improvements to the field. In turn, the field was renamed Homer Stryker Field in honor of Dr. Homer Stryker, founder of the Stryker corporation.
In 2003, a new concession was added along the third base line and a fan services and souvenir building was added along the first base concourse. A left field deck was added to allow a second rentable picnic area.
In 2005, the Homer Styker Field at Mayor's Riverfront Park became home to the Frontier League Champions as the Kalamazoo Kings took the title.
[edit] Teams Calling Mayor's Riverfront Park Home
- 1926 Kalamazoo Celery Pickers- Central League, Michigan State League
- 1949 & 1951 Sutherland Paper Company National Semi-Professional Championship Teams
- 1950- 1954 Kalamazoo Lassies- All American Girls Professional Baseball League

In joining the 'Your Paper, Your Way'-initiative, Current Plant Biology decided to invite all authors to submit their manuscripts as single PDF files, including all figures, figure legends, and references. Of course, all scientific papers need to include the following key elements: title, abstract, introduction, materials & methods, results, discussion (or results and discussion combined), references, and figures and figure legends. Contributors can use whatever layout style suits them best, however, including references. All we ask is that the paper has all the key elements, is legible, and that all figures are of sufficiently high quality to permit proper review.

Guns Don't Kill People, Obama Voters Kill People
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On February 17, 2013 @ 1:44 pm In The Point | 33 Comments
Gun control works. That's why Chicago, which came out for Obama, and has strict gun control laws, is trying to set some kind of gun violence record, while Salt Lake City and Fargo, where guns are legal, isn't.
It seems as if guns don't kill people [2]. Obama voters kill people [3].
According to police data reported by the Sun Times, Chicago experienced a shooting every 3.57 hours in 2012.
The Sun Times reports that the number of murders in the city of Chicago for 2012 was 506, or more than one per day and nearly 10 per week.
The number of shootings however, was almost five times the number of homicides with police reporting 2,460 for the year.
There were 366 days in 2012 or 8,784 hours. That means that Chicago experienced a shooting every 3.57 hours.
Gun control will do Chicago about as much good as trying to reduce the number of hours in the day. The problem isn't guns, it's people. Specifically the types of people who vote for Obama.
Gun violence isn't a hardware problem. It's a social problem. As the drug war has already shown us, trying to wipe out a product will not stop the social problem.
Liberals make this same exact argument when it comes to drugs, but take the opposite tack when it comes to guns. But that may be a clash between drug culture on the liberal side and gun culture on the conservative side.
But as Obama pivots from Newtown to Chicago, and from Adam Lanza, who is the atypical face of gun violence, to the Chicago gangs who are the typical face of gun violence, it might be time to start discussing gun violence as a social problem.

The alacrity with which the Central government has prepared guidelines to regulate e-rickshaws under the Motor Vehicles Act is hardly surprising. On July 31, when the Delhi high court took matters into its hands and banned e-rickshaws, the Centre had only itself to blame for the regulatory vacuum that existed till then. The high court was responding to a PIL calling for banning these battery-operated vehicles after an infant died. The infant had fallen into a hot frying-pan when a rashly-driven e-rickshaw hit his mother throwing her off-balance. In the absence of regulations, the high court was not moved by emotional appeals that e-rickshaw drivers, whose numbers have proliferated to 50,000 in Delhi in the past two years, were being deprived of their livelihood for no fault of theirs. Since 2012, e-rickshaw drivers, complaining of harassment by the police, have been petitioning the Delhi and central governments to give them legal cover. In April, the UPA government classified them as motor vehicles, without creating a separate framework, thereby increasing their vulnerability. Many car-owners who find these slower but non-polluting vehicles — which serve as a crucial feeder network to public transport — increasingly getting in their way have also joined the chorus against e-rickshaws.
The Congress's failures gave the BJP an opportunity to rectify the regulatory muddle. Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari responded in grand fashion on June 17, playing populist to the hilt, promising legalisation, easy loans, registration and easing of norms. Perhaps, smarting from the allegations soon after that Gadkari's relatives had stakes in companies manufacturing e-rickshaws, or the bureaucratic inertia that impedes quick decision-making, nothing was heard since. The new regulations will ensure that e-rickshaws display registration plates, drivers carry licences, passengers are limited to four in number and speeds to 25 kmph. It is also important that the government simultaneously notify traversable routes and the standard structural designs. By curbing wattage and standardising vehicle measurements, concerns about e-rickshaws overloading up to eight passengers and over-speeding can be addressed. The complaints of power officials that e-rickshaws are stealing power or drawing from domestic connections to avoid commercial rates indicate the need for public charging points and more importantly, comprehensive policy changes.
Noiseless, smokeless, cheaper and faster, e-rickshaws are beginning to replace cycle-rickshaws, a source of employment for thousands of poor migrant labourers, on Delhi's roads. Auto-rickshaw drivers will feel the pinch too. The road safety argument that the high court employed while banning e-rickshaws also raises the question of whether creating regulations under the Motor Vehicles Act will make them any safer. The transport and traffic police department have miserably failed to ensure road safety. Road accident fatalities are showing a rising trend for the past five years with cars, trucks and buses involved in most accidents. The high court would do well to ascertain where Delhi, and by extension, other cities stand in terms of developing people-friendly transit systems. In February 2013, Delhi announced the first phase of a transit-oriented development programme centred around metro corridors that visualises the lion's share of road space in a 300-metre radius around metro stations for footpaths, cycle-paths, feeder systems like rickshaws and buses. Despite such pronouncements, the reality on the ground is that our regulators, the traffic police and the transport department, find it easier to penalise the two-wheelers and the rickshaws rather than the cars for traffic violations.
