Sketching pencils
Drawing is an old interest of mine that I thought I'd spend some time on. Colouring or finishing drawings doesn't really interest me at the moment, sketching does.
So I wonder what kinds of pencils you people use, I've seen some really nice sketches done by some people here but I can't seem to get my lines either smooth enough or my details sharp enough.
I found http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm which seems like a good place to start, if anybody else has any tips for a good tutorial please let me know.

Smooth lines and sharp details are more a function of experience and knowledge earned by drawing a great deal not by specific materials.
A good pencil is a good pencil, though. Pick up a name brand pencil, preferably a nice range of leads; 2H, HB, 2B, 4B & 6B should do. Get a high quality pencil sharpener or learn how to sharpen with a knife and sandpaper. Hold the pencil like you think a wizard would hold a wand and draw more from the shoulder than the wrist when you start a drawing so it can be loose and energetic. It's inevitable that you'll start controlling the pencil with the wrist and then fingertips as you near those details, but do remember that good drawing is a process of moving from large general shapes toward the smaller and more precise.
If you're at all into fantasy art I recommend John Howe's Fantasy Art Workshop -- it puts a great many of the basic principles of drawing out there very clearly.
paper should also be a consideration -- most black hardcover sketchbooks have more than adequate paper, I also like drawing on artist's quality bond paper in pads.
Have fun!

if I use pencils, i tend to stick to a 2H and maybe a 4B for bigger areas, but honestly my comfort zone in sketching has always done better with charcoal (vine and compressed) or ink (micron pens 01-05ish range). Charcoal is for building finished drawings for me, while ink pens are good for forcing me to do a quick pass sketch with little to no corrections involved.

I'm currently using one mechanical pencil that I kidnapped from the significant other. I can't wait to get some more stuff.
August 7th, 2008 #5
I Just buy some good cheap pencils for now
I think it's more about the artist
altough finding your right medium helps you develope faster
I just buy mechanical pencils, HB pencils, B, 2b or just buy a cheap sketching pencils set. I buy normal pens etc but i like to try alot of different ones, who knows i might find something i really like
So just experiment

I'd probably consider the paper more than the pencil for what you are describing. There is paper with a lot more "tooth" than other papers. Many artist papers made for sketching are rough compared to copy paper, for example, and then there are very smooth papers meant for pens, markers, and inks. There are paper stumps made to help push your graphite into those little nooks and crannys of rougher sketch paper, but I've always hated stumps. I prefer a good sharp pencil and a smoother paper. It's all a matter though of finding the paper that let's you do what you want. Most artist grade pencils are very similar, but there is a wide range of papers.

A lady in my life drawing class uses one of those ordinary yellow #2 pencils to draw with.. some of the best drawings Ive seen in a while. Use whatever you get your hands on. Try different types until it feels right.

lately ive gravitated towards black ball-point pen, keeps me loose and confident, plus i find it easier to control how dark i want my lines
also i've just started a new sketchbook with oatmeal colored paper and so far i'm loving it
try different mediums and papers and find what works for you

Depends on the size and 'tightness' of the image. Big life studies, like he said -- hold the pencil loosely and move from the shoulder. Little detailed drawings, I hold the pencil the way you hold a pencil to write down a phone number.
Tools are actually pretty important to me. For big drawings, I like charcoal or woodless pencils. Would destroys sharpeners in no time, so I avoid regular pencils. For small detailed pictures, I like a very soft lead with a good point on it. Very soft leads don't keep a good point for more than a few strokes, so it's a lead in a lead holder for me.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).
August 9th, 2008 #16
It's not just me, though, a great number of art instructors through my years-ago college education and in many quality art instruction books recommend holding the pencil that way.
I don't do it for the whole drawing, though, just for the gesture, placement and shapes. My grip gets closer to traditional handwriting the closer the drawing gets to the detail level.
For real small drawings you really can't draw with your shoulder . . .

Field Guide to the Mountain View and West Fork Areas, Stillwater Complex, Montana part of Integrating Research and Education:Montana-Yellowstone Geologic Field Guide Database:MT Field Guides
The Mountain View area of the Stillwater Complex, which is exposed on the west side of the Stillwater River valley, contains a well exposed, easily accessible section through the Ultramafic series. In this area the ultramafic cumulates have, for the most part, escaped the serpentinization common in other parts of the complex. The Basal series rocks and the lowermost ultramafic cumulates, however, have suffereed extensive alteration. The hornfels and the sill/dike complex are reasonably fresh and well exposed in the Verdigris Creek area, the site of intensive exploration for Cu/Ni sulfides. The Banded series rocks are well exposed along the mine road leading to the abandoned Mouat chromite mine, although only Lower Banded series cumulates are present in this area.
Field Guide to an Archean Transect, Eastern Beartooth Mountains, Montana-Wyoming part of Integrating Research and Education:Montana-Yellowstone Geologic Field Guide Database:MT Field Guides
The eastern Beartooth Mountains of Montana and Wyoming contain a record of crustal evolution that spans almost 1000 Ma and culminates in a major episode of crustal growth 2700-2800 Ma. The earlier record is sparse and complex as a result of extensive magmatism and intense metamorphism associated with Late Archean activity. In general, however, it appears that continental material was present in this area by roughly 3600 Ma, and that a stable continental shelf accumulated quartzites, iron-formation, and lesser amounts of pelitic to psammitic units interspersed with small volumes of mafic to silicic volcanic rocks. This cycle of accumulation was apparently terminated by an episode of granulite facies metamorphism 3300-3400 Ma, perhaps as a result of continent-continent collision....About 2800-2900 Ma, a second major cycle of crustal growth began that bears some resemblance to those associated with modern continent-ocean subduction zones....The first igneous rocks produced during this cycle were andesitic or dioritic rocks, both coarse and fine grained, that were subsequently metamorphosed to amphibolite facies....This interval is restricted by the presence of a granodioritic series (Long Lake granodiorite) that was intruded late in the kinematic cycle... (2779 Ma)...and marks the lower limit for the last major episode of regional metamorphism. The last and most volumetrically important rock produced during the cycle was the Long Lake granite. This unit composes approximately 80-90% of the eastern portion of the range and engulfs all older rock types. It appears to have been intruded about 2740 Ma....This excursion will attempt to view the evidence of these two major cycles in four main stops: (1) Hellroaring Plateau, (2) Lower Quad Creek, (3) Upper Quad Creek, and (4) Long Lake. Late Archean mafic dikes (at Beartooth Lake) will also be examined.

What is the Foundation CO2 Calculator?
The EFFC and DFI have created a tool that will calculate the CO2 emissions of foundation and geotechnical works. It is designed to allow contractors and commissioning organisations alike to assess the carbon footprint of their projects.
The Foundation CO2 Calculator has been developed using verifiable, standardized data to enable accurate benchmarking of competing project proposals. Prior to its development there existed no single standardized tool for calculating CO2 emissions for these types of ground works.
The tool also allows contractors to compare and contrast different technical approaches within the same project and see what the CO2 emissions will be. Furthermore it can be used throughout a project's development to compare how it performed against expectations.
Users of the Foundation CO2 Calculator
The tool is easy to use and enables:
Foundation designers and contractors:-
evaluate the carbon footprint of your designs
compare the carbon footprint of alternative designs
compare pre-project projections of carbon emissions with post-project measurements
compare pre-project projections of carbon emissions, with post project measurements
compare the carbon footprint of one proposal against another
compare pre-project projections with post-project measurements

The other night my hubby and I went to the movie theater here in Scotts Valley to see a 9:45 pm show. We were like 5 minutes late but we figured oh well, we'll just miss the previews. Right when we walked up to the ticket window, the girl working there pulled the slider down and walked away so we opened the front door and asked the manager who was standing there if we could just come inside and buy the tickets at the concession counter where they sometimes sell them. He's normally a really friendly guy, but he got this kind of mean look on his face and said no, the theater was closed. We walked away saying to each other "That was really strange!"
Well today, we found out that the theater was getting robbed at gunpoint at 9:45 pm! And now that I think about it some more , I did see the manager taking lots of money out of the drawer and talking to someone at the counter. I have to wonder if that was the robber and that was why the manager seemed kind of grouchy and turned us away!
I sure hope they catch the robber!!!

Ruling: District failed to provide proper services for special-needs student
The undercover officer allegedly told the student he "needed" the drug to relieve tension at home.
Although the district maintains that the student knew right from wrong — the district's attorney said in February that he had a history of discipline issues and enough social skills to land a girlfriend — Tully said the extreme social situations would have been difficult "even for typical high school students."
"Within three days of the officer's requests, (the) student burned himself due to his anxiety," Tully said. "Ultimately, (the) student was persuaded to buy marijuana for someone he thought was a friend who desperately needed this drug and brought it to school for him."
The student's parents did not return messages seeking further comment.

If it wasn't working, we wouldn't be doing it. Teams are single covering Kobe right now and Kobe is making them pay. Once teams start doubling him, he doesn't have any problem handing the ball back to Nash.
The only thing I'd like to see differently is some Kobe/Dwight off the ball actions. Just like Atlanta did to us with Korver and Horford, we should be able to do the same with Kobe and Dwight.
It worked enough to get us by I'd say, realdeal. Kobe was 6- 15 in that second half. He wasn't red hot like he was in the fourth quarter at Dallas. It became extremely predictable quickly and those aren't the percentages I love. We have other options on the team and we are more effective when we diversify. I didn't love that execution down the stretch by any means, although I'm thankful that Kobe is superhuman and can still do incredible work to win the game. It was just the same thing over and over with Nash playing spectator. We can do much better than that. And frankly, I expect more out of D' Antoni than that. Mike Brown? Ok. That's what it resembled - Mike Brown ball. Nash got turned into Fisher for some reason. There's no reason to do that. Run some other plays.
We got away with it this game due to the inexplicable decision by Atlanta to have Josh Smith guarding Kobe. I don't like the trend in general though and it is extremely predictable, and it has cost us games. If this is by design by the coaching staff, that is a head scratcher.

Spring paper crafts are a great way to celebrate the season. Create a Fabulous Floral Greeting Card using PLUS America products and a variety of decorative paper. This is a great craft idea for Mother's Day - mom will love your pretty creation.
- PLUS America Glue Tape Pen
- PLUS America Mini Decoration Roller
- 5" X 7" blank card (you can use a pre-made card or make one)
- Scrapbook paper
- Coordinating card stock
- Dry embossing machine (eg Sizzix, Cuttlebug, Fiskars)
- Embossing Folder
- 3-D floral sticker
- Embellishments
Cut scrapbook paper to 4.75x6.75 and apply to card. Cut the cardstocks to size and deboss the periwinkle panel through a die cutting machine like a Cuttlebug. Cut out the center using an Xacto knife. This is where the PLUS Glue Pen comes in very handy because it curves easily around the opening. Apply this to a cream panel, then mount on a green panel as shown. Add the 3-D iris sticker to the middle, wrap an organza ribbon around the layered panels and attach to card with foam dots.
Optionally, add a brass dragonfly charm as an accent.
What's a card without an envelope that does justice to the card? Use one of the PLUS Decoration rollers and run it diagonally on two corners of an envelope. These are self inking and great for adding an extra touch. Use up leftover scrapbook paper from the card on the corners (the Glue Pen is great for small spaces).

David Garcia
David Garcia on the Jeff Probst showA few months ago I wrote about David Garcia, a lovely guy who shed 165 pounds and who blogs about his weightloss journey - and keeping it off (the hardest part of all!) at http://keepitupdavid.
Flying as a 400 pound manI interviewed David Garcia tonight (the guy who worked for Ellen DeGeneres and lost 160 pounds with the help of Richard Simmons.) for my column next week. I blogged about him several weeks ago.

Wisden obituary
Johnny Briggs died on January 11. The last reports as to the condition of Briggs's health had been so discouraging that the news of his death did not cause much surprise. Though he rallied so wonderfully from his seizure at Leeds, during the Test match in 1899, as to bowl with nearly all his old skill and success throughout the season of 1900, it was known that his ailment -- a form of epilepsy -- admitted of no permanent cure, and was liable to recur at any time. He had another attack sooner than had been expected; was compelled to go back to Cheadle Asylum; and took no part in the cricket of 1901. Five or six weeks before his death it was announced that he had again rallied after a serious relapse, but this time the improvement was of very brief duration. Briggs had a long career, but at the time of his death he was only a little over thirty-nine. Like so many other famous professional cricketers, he was a Nottingham man, being born at Sutton-in-Ashfield, on October 3rd, 1862. While still a child, however, he went to live in Lancashire, and all his cricket was learnt in the county for which, during more than twenty years, he did such brilliant work. He must have shown great promise while very young, as he was given a trial in the Lancashire eleven before he was seventeen. He played in five matches for the county in 1879, and though he met with little success his aptitude for the game was so obvious that no doubt was felt as to his future. In those early days he was played chiefly for his fielding, his quickness and energy making him from the first a special favourite with the crowds at Old Trafford. The popularity that he thus gained as a lad remained with him to the end, and wherever he went the public took the keenest interest in his doings. For two or three seasons he was not much more than a splendid field, but from 1883 his batting rapidly improved, and a little later, without much warning, he blossomed out as one of the great slow bowlers of his day. In 1885 he headed the bowling averages for Lancashire, with seventy-nine wickets for 10½ runs each, but, though this was a very fine record, his fame as a bowler really dated from the England and Australia match, at Lord's, in 1886 -- the memorable game in which Shrewsbury played his innings of 164. The opening day's cricket was interfered with by rain, and the England eleven, who had won the toss, did not finish their innings till the second day, their total being 353. When the Australians went in against this formidable number, Jones and Scott scored so freely that an even match seemed in prospect. Suddenly, however, the character of the cricket underwent a complete change. Mr. A. G. Steel, who captained England, put Briggs on as first change, and the Australians, though their score stood at 45 when the first wicket went down, were all out all for 121, Briggs bowling 34 overs, 22 maidens, for 29 runs and 5 wickets. His success caused great surprise, as he had played for England a fortnight before at Manchester without being called upon to bowl at all. When the Australians followed on, he took six wickets for 45 runs, and England won the match in a single innings. Thenceforward, Briggs's reputation as a left-handed slow bowler was firmly established and, as everyone knows, he remained in the front rank, with, of course, the fluctuations of fortune to which all cricketers are subject, till his unhappy seizure at Leeds in 1899.
He jumped to the top of the tree at a very opportune moment in 1886 -- Peate being then almost done with -- and for many seasons his only rival in his own particular style was Peel. There is no need to go into details of his work year by year, but it is interesting to note that, according to the figures given in Bat v. Ball, he took in first-class matches, from 1885 to 1899 inclusive, 2034 wickets for less than 16 runs each. He had a bad season in 1898, but in 1900, after his first illness, he came out again in such form that 127 wickets fell to him for something over 17½ runs each. During all his years of success Briggs was much more than a mere bowler. He was always a dangerous bat, likely at any time to get his fifty runs, and in the field he retained all the energy and nearly all the speed of his young days. Though the greater part of this work was done for Lancashire, he was in the truest sense of the word a representative cricketer, being picked over and over again for England and the Players, and being nearly as well known on Australian grounds as in this country. He paid six visits to the Colonies, going out with Shaw and Shrewbury's teams in 1884-85, 1886-87, and 1887-88; with Lord Sheffield's team in 1891-92, and with Mr. Stoddart's elevens in 1894-95, and 1897-98. As it happened, he went once too often, proving a sad failure for Stoddart's second team. In the other trips, however, he did himself full justice. Among all his Australian experiences the most remarkable was the famous 10 runs win at Sydney, in December, 1894, when Australia suffered defeat after playing a first innings of 586. The Australians only had to get 177 in the last innings, and at the close of the fifth day they had scored 113, with two men out. After drenching rain in the night, however, Peel and Briggs secured the eight outstanding wickets for 53 runs, gaining for Stoddart's side perhaps the most sensational victory in the history of cricket. Briggs, as a slow bowler, had nearly every good quality. His beautifully easy action enabled him to stand any amount of work; he had plenty of spin, and no one was more skilful in tempting batsmen to hit on the off-side. For a few seasons he bowled a particularly good fast ball, but in this respect he fell off in later years.

Pre-Purchase , Cash Shop, stress test , the three major problems with GW2?!?!?!?
really is this the only three problems that haters can think of for GW2!!
GW2 is a very different MMO, how do I know?? I don't, but its not based off Speculation its based off the information available.
1) W v W v W , servers are matched against each other every 2 weeks, after 2 weeks they change so you are constantly fighting against familiar strengthed Servers.
A) If you are matched against Familiar strengthed Servers, doesn't that mean if I have 90% of players that is Millionaires and buys tons and tons of Cash Shop items, they will also be matched up against other Servers that have 90% of players that is Millionaires that buys tons and tons of Cash Shop items.
So eventually, Millionaires makes Anet Milionaires then we get more expansions and more in game goodies....how is this bad
2) PVE, its Co-op mode, everyone helps each other, all loot is separate, all mining and harvesting points are separate
A) so if you buy tons of cash shop items....you get more influence and karma, and that provides you with???? more cosmetic gear!!!!
3) Structured PVP, Players with money buys tons of items from Cash Shop, the amounts that only the poor can dream of
A) in Structure PVP , everyone is level 80 so............everyone is on equal footing, how does Cash Shop help me??
A) GW2 has no Gear Grind ...........
So what the hell is Cash Shop gonna do for me that makes it Pay To Win ?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

. I certainly wouldn't call myself a hater.. Just a skeptic (after playing SWTOR and the new WOW) and an unconvinced one after reading some GW2 content. I really want this game to succeed and be fun but Im also thinking this game may not be for me. . The biggest gameplay turnoff is the lack of death penalty. The devs claim they are removing death penalties because dieing isnt fun. For me I like a significant swath penalty (eg xp loss or even better a corpse run) because it makes the rest of the game more exciting. When Im Adventuring in a new, higher level environment I want to feel like my character is in danger and there's a reason to want to stay alive. Without a death penalty I am nonchalant about seeing that herd of hostile birds or that giant with the massive hammer. To me, I agree that deaht is not fun, but the death penalty isn't in the game to make death fun - it's in the game to make all the alive time more entertaining and involved. The devs don't seem to understand this. . I'm also less than convinced that they've abolished the holy trinity. Seems to me that they've given everyone a heal and replaced the healers heals with all the buffs. The devs say healing will be more "proactive" and less "reactive". I always choose a healer because they're most challenging. Replacing my healer with a bard who always casts the same buffs before things get hairy is not my idea of a challenge. I'd rather have the capacity to react and save desperate situations instead of conrtributing one of the 4 heals and hoping that my passive buffs will finishoff the job. Then again that's why I usually play healers instead of bards or shamans. . I'm also really turned off by the f2play model. I have a job and I want to pay an MMO company to provide me with enough entertainment that I don't want to go buy a movie ticket because the MMO is unbalanced or lacking content after 2 months. . I'm going to give it a chance, I'll probably leave when an MMO that punishes me for my deaths will once again restore that feeling of a great and potentially sacrificial adventure. . Edit: apparently my space breaks are not showing up as they are in this iOS browser.. Fucjing Steve jobs lol. I attempted to indent space breaks but it'll likely remain a text wall.

It's all or nothin'!
Buttpuddle, I think you need to read some articles that weren't posted five years ago. The "Healing and Death" page is extremely outdated. A death penalty (armor damage) has since been added. Buffs don't last longer than a few seconds so your bard/shaman analogy is irrelevant. Also, several classes are now able to specialize in healing the party. You still can't outheal incoming damage, but you can support the party with healing in addition to buffs.

you forgot hype....that's what's wrong with GW2, Hype!
Originally posted by Bunks
When you compare the HYPE that SWTOR and TSW have with GW2, I really can't see the similarity.
SWTOR = Bioware, Star Wars, The Old Republic. The hype was in the name not in how the game is played
TSW = Non Scifi, Non Fantasy, a combination of both in Modern World. The Hype is in the concept, and what ifs
GW2 = Anet, Non-trinity gameplay, Dynamic Events, W v W , Dodge mechanic, Dungeon with traps, Home instances, personal Stories that branches and evolves your home instance. The Hype of actual gaming mechanics.

I really abhor biased and colored posts like this, no offense.
If you want to really make it equal then your comparison should be like
GW2 = ANet, GW sequel, being different from existing MMO's, 'not like WoW'.
Especially those last two have MMO gamers who've grown bored to death by existing gameplay and features, due to overplaying them for years, slobbering to the point of brainless ecstacy.
Besides that, there were other points that SWTOR and TSW had that triggers hype, but I can't be bothered to even mention them. Point being, there's valid and concrete points as well as hyperbole and emotional points to the hype of each of those 3 games, as well as a TERA, PS2, ArcheAge, Firefall etc. I suggest you be more objective next time.
Originally posted by cutthecrap
What i meant was, for GW2 the hype is in the Dynamic Event, the non-trinity and how its different and you will see many talk about that aspect over and over in blogs, youtube videos and press beta videos. What I listed for GW2 was all what anyone talk about.
Yet When I was following SWTOR, everywhere you turn, you hear about how This is The Old Republic, its Bioware and their story telling, its Star Wars how can it go wrong. Rarely do you actually hear about the combat, the gameplay. It always comes second.
For TSW, I lost track in the forums, I tried to follow it but there was not enough information available. And with the demo shown in PAX east 2012, you actually have people buying the Lifetime subscriptions when Many posts that they are only buying because its different , its no longer fantasy or sci-fi but more of an combination as their biggest reasons.
Tera is definitely shaping up to be a good game as well, but because its actually already launched in Korea, not alot of Speculation to be done. If you want to see any Gameplay videos, look around for Korean Videos. Everything you need to know is already available, therefore it isn't HYPE, its reality. The only main difference is in the language.

Talking about confirmed Mechanics is Hyping it
Talking about how Cash Shop will not affect GW2 is hyping it
Talking about how Pre-purchase is all optional is hyping it
So basically, posting any thread in GW2 forums talking about GW2 , discussing about GW2 , regardless of whether its information thats been confirmed or stated outright and shown in videos. As long as you are talking about GW2 you are HYPING it.
So what the hell can you do if you just want to discuss it!

SWTOR got hyped also for its story aspects, the class quests, decisions that supposedly had influence, the cover mechanic (well, you mentioned the dodge mechanic, I disagree with both), TSW gets hype for the classless system that allows to you create your own builds from 580 available skills, the atmospheric ingame environments, its interactive skill combo system, level-less system with statless gear, its interesting dungeons and its different crafting system.
Like I said, hype is hype no matter the game. There's some valid foundation to it as well as emotional and irrational stuff. GW2 definitely has both too.

I have had a good deal of hands on with GW2 and yes it is very different and yet familiar at the same time in a good way...
From what i was able to do and see in one very active weekend the one thing i know for sure is that the game is not overhyped and what anet says is in there is there...
My intent was to rip into the tradeskills since the media blokes always manage to come up short on them and i soon found out why they come up short on tradeskills for myself, this game kept me so busy adventuring and having fun in kryta with both a ranger and engineer that the tradeskills become an after thought and i mean like after the beta was over afterthought here..
GW2 is a bold evolution in mmo gaming and while i dont know what the content over level 25ish is like i look very forward to finding out, the funny thing is it appears that you could level all the way to 80 in one area if you for some reason wanted to due to the way your character has an "actual world level" and an "effective area based level" which means all low level content is always available at the appropriate and challenging level for instance even if you are a level 70 if you return to queensdale your effective level will be level 4..
The haters do not know what they are talking about and should be ignored as with any game there is valid questions and concerns but i trust anet to address them as time moves on...
Many players getting their hands on in this game will help ease many of the lies and misconceptions that the haters and trolls have brought forth..

This is actually the kind of overreaction that I'm talking about, and which I find annoying in the current batch of over enthusiastic new GW2 fans: needless dramaqueening, extreme statements and reactions. Nobody's saying that GW2 shouldn't be discussed and that it's ALL hype and nothing founded in it.
You're the one making extreme statements, like saying that other MMO's was all baseless hype with no foundation or features in it, and saying that all hype around GW2 is 100% grounded in facts and features, or saying that GW2 shouldn't be discussed. I mean, chill, seriously

Eighty-eight year old Chhotelal Bharany is a relic of the past, as rare and precious today as the antique paintings, sculptures and textiles from his collection that the National Museum in Delhi is showcasing in a month-long exhibition. Bharany had donated these to the museum in 1976 but it's only now, 38 years later, that they have been unveiled to the public.
The exhibition brings to light his extraordinary contribution to the history of Indian art, and more important, that of his father, Radha Krishna Bharany, a pioneering art dealer and collector. Chhotelal was only 16 when Radha Krishna died, and he inherited his father's business and collection, but more importantly his knowledge, discerning eye and love for antiques.
"My father had a divine madness," says Bharany. "He was a sharaabi (addict), his sharaab (intoxicant) was these paintings," says Bharany. "After his death, we had boxes and boxes of paintings, but no cash." Once he even sold his wife's jewellery to buy a set of Radha-Krishna paintings in the Kangra style from the ruler of Nadaun province in then Punjab. "My maternal relations were furious – are you going to leave these pieces of paper for your children to feed on, they asked." After Bharany Senior died in 1944, his widow was forced to sell the set to Diwan Bahadur RK Jalan (whose collection still graces Quila House in Patna). Ironically, a few years later, Jalan died and his son, whose fortunes had declined, offered to sell the paintings back to Bharany.
We're seated in the small back office of Bharany's, the exclusive jewellery showroom in tony Sundarnagar Market which Chhotelal opened in 1962 and is run now by his sons, Mahesh and Ramji. Though Bharany no longer deals in art, the rare Mughal and Pahari paintings and beautiful Kashmiri shawls, Baluchari saris and Kantha and Pulkari embroidery spread all over the store is evidence of his extensive collection.
It's a far cry from Bharany Senior's small shop near Amritsar's Golden Temple, which was a mecca for scholars and collectors of Indian art in the early 20th century. Ananda Coomaraswamy, the pioneering Indian art historian, was a regular visitor to his shop. Among Bharany's other notable buyers were Karl Khandalavala, art historian, collector and chairman of Mumbai's Prince of Wales Museum (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya) from 1958 to his death in 1995; MS Randhawa, who set up the Chandigarh Museum; and Rai Krishnadas, whose collection formed the core of the Bharat Kala Bhavan museum in Benaras. Other regular buyers were Sir Kasturbhai Lalbhai (founder of Arvind Mills), BK Birla, Sir Dorabji Tata, Alice Bonner (Swiss sculptor), Svetoslav Roerich (Russian painter), WG Archer (British ICS officer and keeper of the Indian section at the V&A Museum), NC Mehta (ICS officer who donated his collection to Ahmedabad's LD Institute of Indology), and Nasli and Alice Heeramaneck (New York-based collectors).
Exquisite and historically important pieces first sold by Bharany are today scattered in museums worldwide, from Cleveland, Philadelphia and Washington in the US, to Ottawa in Canada, Cambridge, Oxford and London in the UK; Lahore in Pakistan and, within India, Chandigarh, Allahabad and Mumbai. When they have come up for sale in international auctions, they have been snapped up for thousands of dollars. In many ways, what we know of early Indian art today was shaped by objects the Bharanys procured. "Without his [Radha Krishna's] sagacity and aesthetic sensibility, his adventurous spirit and his industry, we might not be admiring the styles of painting that became familiar under such rubrics as Basohli and Kangra," writes Pratapaditya Pal, the Padmashree-awarded art historian and former curator of Indian art sections in several American museums, in his essay A Passionate Eye: Textiles, Paintings and Sculptures from the Bharany Collection. In fact, it was the publication of this book in April that induced the National Museum to put up the exhibition, reveals Giles Tillotson, the editor of the book who has also curated the show.
"You can't imagine how cheap things were in those days," says Bharany. Coomaraswamy had bought paintings worth Rs4,000-Rs 5,000 from RK Bharany between 1906 and 1913 – each priced Rs5-Rs30. He reveals that a friend, artist Ramgopal Vijaivarghia, once found that a plate a man was eating puris from in a Jaipur shop was actually a beautiful Bundi painting. "We were very conveniently located in Amritsar, for all the objects that were coming out of the princely kingdoms. There were runners who went to villages and rajas looking for paintings, sculptures, shawls – anything," he says.
Does the dwindling interest in and knowledge of traditional Indian arts bother him? "I won't talk about the pros and cons of the Antiquities Act, but because of its cumbersome rules for registering artworks, the interest isn't there anymore. And once you kill the love, you kill every initiative of the person," he replies.

Works great
By Jimjr
from Clifton, Co
I had 3 of the rain gauges in the last five years. They work great and you can see the amount of rain fall each day. The only problem and that is do not leave them out when the weather starts to freeze. It will crack the bottom but other than that it is a great product.

I would like for it to be large enough to hold at least 5 inches of rain.

About Me Midrange Shopper
It was terrible,it came in 3 pieces and theywould not screw into each other. I could noteven glue them together. So I just use it onthe one extension. It was cheaper to do thatthan send it back which would have cost memore than the guage.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Beautiful design, fragile holder
By Rev. Cheesehead
from Wisconsin
So disappointed. The aluminum posts are strong enough, but the threads that attach them together are lousy. The slightest wind breaks the post apart at the seams.
Very nice!

Low capacity.Would have liked one that would hold 5 inches. I am still satisfied with the purchase.


text: CES is over but the products that were presented are just hitting the markets or in some cases, aren't available yet. One of my perennial favorite product categories at CES is headphones and there were some distinctive sets introduced. Anyone can make headphones and make them loud, but Kidz Gear takes a different approach. Instead of trying to make them loud, they make them safe for kids' sensitive ears. After all, damage to the ear canal can be bad enough for old rockers like Pete Townshend, but for kids with their whole future ahead of them, it's an even bigger deal.

Very easy. Remove the screws on the back and lift the back up. The handle assembly lifts right out. The only difficult part is removing the electrical connection. I used needle nose pliers to pry them off. Be careful about over tightening the screws in the plastic door.

Village chief, widow dead in 'crime of passion'
More News from Jhunnex Napallacan
More News from Inquirer Visayas
CEBU CITY, Philippines—An affair between a village chief and a widow ended on Thursday in what the police described as a "crime of passion."
Rey Oybenes, chief of Barangay Mabini here, killed Rohama Luague, a city employee, on Thursday and dumped her body on the edge of a cliff in Balamban town before killing himself inside a government vehicle, police said.
The body of Luague, 32, a widow with three young children, was found with a gunshot wound in the chest at 1:10 p.m. Thursday on the edge of a cliff near the Transcentral Highway, which connects Cebu City and western coast of the province.
A tree stopped her body from falling off the cliff in Sitio Boli, Barangay Cansumoroy, Balamban, about 64 kilometers west of Cebu City.
Witnesses saw a man, who turned out to be Oybenes, dragging a body, which turned out to be that of Luague, from a gray Toyota Hilux without a license plate. Oybenes dumped the body on the edge of the cliff.
About two hours later, a street cleaner found Oybenes' body inside the pickup, which is among the vehicles distributed by Mayor Michael Rama to village chiefs in 2012.
Police said Oybenes removed government markings from the pickup and its red license plate.
Found inside the vehicle were a .45-cal. pistol, two loaded magazines, a loose bullet, P48,000 in cash, jewelry, ID cards of Luague, a woman's underwear and the original license plate of the pickup—SKV 566.
Two police officers—Senior Supt. Mariano Natuel, acting Cebu City police chief, and SPO3 Arvie Ricardo Banate, Balamban police investigator—said Oybenes committed suicide after killing Luague and dumping her body.
Police said the two had a five-year relationship. Luague was the widow of PO1 Noriel Luague who was killed in a police operation in December 2007.
Luague ended the relationship in January but Oybenes hung on. Luague had confided to colleagues at work in city hall that Oybenes had been sending threats through text messages.
A source close to Luague, but who refused to be identified, said friends had advised Luague to report the threats to the police but she refused.
