BANGKOK: Bangkok's chances of hosting a lucrative Formula One race have faded after planners banned car racing from the city's historic quarter, officials said on Friday.
The city was touted to host a landmark F1 night race in 2015, with a track mooted for the tourist area around the Grand Palace and a number of major Buddhist temples.
But Bangkok's Metropolitan Authority have stymied the proposal with a law banning "car racing" from the zone.
"The law came into effect on May 16 prohibiting car racing in inner Bangkok because that area is a conservation for culture and arts," Kriangphon Pattanarat, director general of City Planning Department told reporters.
The law has been under discussion for two or three years, he said, adding it was not specifically targeted at F1.
An F1 race would likely have brought tens of thousands of wealthy tourists to the capital as the sport looks to deepen its influence in Asia.
Opposition to the proposed race had been voiced by local residents around the potential track who said the event would have damaged their incomes and caused more traffic in the already gridlocked city.
Minister of Tourism and Sports Somsak Phurisisak confirmed the law had been enacted and car racing can no longer take place in the city's historic zone.
"Whatever is illegal we will not do," he said.
"I have been told yesterday on the new city planning law," he added, voicing hopes Formula One's governing body would consider laying on a race in another Thai province.
The move into Bangkok would have marked a new milestone in F1's drive into Asia, where Singapore, Malaysia, China, South Korea, Japan all feature on the racing calendar this season. — AFP

What happens when you ask the world's most tech-savvy developers from Silicon Valley, Nairobi, and Cairo to modify a mobile-application so that it works in the most remote and poorest areas of the world?
You get a Global Hack for Good, a technological and media event aimed at reconnecting refugee families with their loved ones, culminating on World Refugee Day (20 June, 2013).This event –– the first-ever of its kind –– rallies the global tech community around a common goal: creating technical solutions for the most disconnected families of the world.
With more than 43 million forcibly displaced people globally, and with refugee numbers growing even higher, and humanitarian crises unfolding in numerous hotspots, there is an urgent need to reconnect families who have been separated due to conflict, war, and disaster.
This event pushes the boundaries of technology while showcasing the pioneering and innovative tracing platform built by Ericsson and Refugees United. In a world faced with digital divides, illiteracy and economic barriers, there is a need to energize the global tech community and leverage their expertise and fresh ideas around technology for good.
Four Cities, Four Challenges
Building upon Refugees United's successful hackathons in London in 2012 and 2013, this Global Hack for Good will take place in Cairo, Silicon Valley, and Nairobi, concluding in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where the four winning prototypes will be presented and tested in front of selected journalists from top tier media at a later point in 2013.
Although our work spans the globe, there is no better example of the people we aim help than in Kakuma. By bringing the winners to Kakuma, we all demonstrate our commitment to using 21st century technology for good.
What is a Hack?
A hackathon is an event in which approximately 30 developers, programmers and designers join forces to solve a problem. These events are becoming increasingly popular, especially among young people who enjoy networking, competing, and putting their skills to the test. They bring their laptops, enthusiasm, and ideas and work on challenges set forth by Ericsson and Refugees United.
At each event, dedicated developers will have a weekend to solve the challenge that will be judged by a special Ericsson and Refugees United panel. The best ideas, as well as the winning idea, will be presented in October during a small event in Kakuma, a refugee camp that is accessible and safe.
How To Take Part
The Nairobi event will be held on 15th and 16th June in Nairobi.
Developers, please sign up for the event here. To be eligible participants must answer three questions to help us select the best developers.

Planet Ant Theatre

+1 313 365 4948(Box Office)
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
A prominent theater in Hamtramck, the Planet Ant Theatre is located just off the Interstate 75, near the city center. Spread over three floors, the purple-colored brick structure looks like someone's home was turned into a venue, and once you step inside, home-like warmth is what you will find. Perhaps the theater calls itself, 'Planet Ant' as a reference to the solidarity of the usually misunderstood insects and how they all work for their close-knit community together. This theater also strives to keep the community together by presenting local artists, comedians, playwrights and actors on its stage. To know more about upcoming shows, do see the website.

Stevenson, Nunn & Stubbs Are London Happy Few
Editorial Staff • West End • 20 May 2004
The play, first seen as part of the Remembrance Day Festival at the Malvern Theatre last autumn, is inspired by the true wartime history of the Osiris Players, a small group of women who came together to form an all-female troupe to take the plays of Shakespeare around a culture-starved country. While the men are fighting Hitler and the bombs are blitzing London, these hopelessly mismatched individuals from entirely different social backgrounds set off around the country in a battered 1920s Rolls Royce on their cultural mission.
Nunn, who until March last year was artistic director of the National Theatre, has since then overseen the transfer of his South Bank production of Anything Goes to the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane (where it continues to run and is currently booking to 28 August), staged Ibsen's The Lady from the Sea that re-opened the refurbished Almeida Theatre and directed Skellig at the Young Vic. He has frequently worked with Stubbs - who is currently playing Gertrude in Hamlet - including a 1999 National Theatre revival of Harold Pinter's Betrayal in the Lyttelton, a 2001 National Theatre production of Vanbrugh's The Relapse in the Olivier Theatre, as well as a 1996 film version of Twelfth Night that also starred Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham-Carter.
Prior to appearing in Hamlet, Stubbs' most recent West End appearance was in Mum's the Word that ran at the Albery Theatre from March to June last year. Amongst her co-stars in that production was Patsy Palmer, who now appears in We Happy Few fresh from touring in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black's Tell Me on a Sunday. Palmer is still best known for playing Bianca in television's EastEnders for five years. She was also seen earlier this year in the BBC TV adaptation of Trollope's He Knew He Was Right.
Juliet Stevenson makes a rare return to the stage, though she was once a regular at the RSC where her roles included Miss Chasen in Nunn's production of Once In a Lifetime, Madame de Tourvel in Les Liaisons Dangereuses and Rosalind in As You Like It. Other stage roles include the original London cast of Death and the Maiden at the Royal Court's Theatre Upstairs and subsequently the Duke of York's, and opposite John Malkovich in Burn This. More recently, she has concentrated on film and television work in such features as Mona Lisa Smile and television's Hear The Silence, about the MMR vaccine earlier this year. She has also starred in Truly Madly Deeply and Bend It Like Beckham, and her next film, Being Julia, with Annette Benning, will be released later this year.
Marcia Warren's recent West End credits include Charlotte Jones' Humble Boy that transferred to the Gielgud from the National's Cottesloe, and Arsenic and Old Lace. Kate O'Mara, best known for starring as Joan Collins' sister in television's Dynasty, tours regularly in theatre, most recently in Oscar Wilde's rarely seen The Marquise. The cast is completed by Caroline Blakiston, Paul Bentley, Rosemary McHale, Adam Davy, Cat Simmons and Emma Darwall-Smith.
We Happy Few also reunites the creative team of director Nunn with designer John Napier and lighting designer David Hersey who previously collaborated on such productions as Nicholas Nickleby, Cats and Les Miserables. It is produced by Bill Kenwright and Thelma Holt, who most recently brought the RSC's All's Well That Ends Well with Judi Dench, also to the West End's Gielgud Theatre.

Artist admits to shortcuts in show about Apple
CHICAGO An artist admitted Friday to taking shortcuts in crafting an often harrowing tale about Apple Inc.'s operations in China after the veracity of his one-man theatrical show was challenged by a public radio program that had based a broadcast on his work.
But writer Mike Daisey said he stands by his monologue and called what he does theater, and not journalism.
"It uses a combination of fact, memoir, and dramatic license to tell its story, and I believe it does so with integrity," Daisey said in a statement posted on his website.
Citing what he called "numerous fabrications," Ira Glass, the host of the popular public radio show "This American Life," said he could not vouch for the truth of a Jan. 6 broadcast excerpted from Daisey's critically acclaimed one-man show "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs."
Later Friday, The New York Times said it had removed a questionable paragraph from the online archive of an op-ed piece Daisey wrote for the newspaper in October.
Daisey also twisted the truth about his time in China during an interview with The Associated Press late last year. Paul Colford, a spokesman for the news cooperative, said the AP was reviewing its coverage of Daisey to determine what corrections will be necessary.
In his monologue performance, which currently running at the Public Theater in New York, Daisey describes meeting very young workers who put in very long hours and were forced to do crippling, repetitive motions at factories that make Apple products in China. Some he claimed had been poisoned by a chemical called hexane.
But "This American Life" says a China correspondent for the public radio show "Marketplace" named Rob Schmitz located and interviewed Daisey's Chinese interpreter, who disputed much of the artist's claims.
Daisey, in an interview with Glass broadcast as part of Friday's episode of "The American Life," admitted that he didn't meet any poisoned workers and guessed at the ages of some of the workers he met.
"This American Life" said in its statement that staffers asked Daisey for his interpreter's contact information while fact-checking the story. Daisey replied the cellphone number he had for her didn't work anymore and he had no way to reach her.
"At that point, we should've killed the story," Glass said. "But other things Daisey told us about Apple's operations in China checked out, and we saw no reason to doubt him."
Apple has been rebutting Daisey's allegations for months, to little effect. The Times also wrote an investigative series in January on dangerous working and living conditions for people who make Apple products in China, including explosions inside factories making iPads where four people were killed and 77 were injured.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment Friday. Daisey spokesman Philip Rinaldi said Friday his client was "not speaking to anyone about this right now."
The original "This American Life" episode, "Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory," has become the most popular podcast in the history of "This American Life" with nearly 890,000 downloads.

Streaming problem
Likes # 0
Posted January 22, 2012 at 2:53PM
I have two PCs, both connected wirelessly to the same router. One is a 2.8GHz P4 with 2GB of memory, running XP. The other is a Dual core 2.6GHz E5300 with 3GB of memory running W7 Home Premium. The latter streams flawlessly - the former very poorly, with regular video freezes. Given that we can eliminate my Internet and wi-fi connection as the causes - the W7 machine is fine - where should I be looking to try to find the cause(s) of the XP machine's poor streaming performance?

From my reading of your post you can eliminate your your Wireless router and your Win7 wireless connection as being the problem, but the XP wireless connection cannot be eliminated quite yet
Why not try a few speed tests from here on both machines alternately if the results turn out to be reasonably close then, you can eliminate wireless issues as the problem
It is always worth eliminating any bandwidth stealing utilities which start with windows in diagnostic tests on streaming issues
A handy tool to help identify the culprits is the free utility called What`s Running combined with something like Autoruns or its likes should give you the ammunition you need

What anti-virus/firewall do you have running?

Thanks guys.
TOSH: great idea - I hadn't thought of independently verifying the speed of the two connections. However, it turns out they're pretty much identical at just under 6Mbps (I was surprised it was so high).
So, on to "what's running". Fascinating stuff, although I can't claim to understand it all. One thing did pop out at me, though. On the W7 machine (the 'good' one) I have between 50-70 IP connections running. On the XP machine, there are more than 4,000!
Closer examination reveals that the huge majority of these are HPNetworkComunicator.exe. These are doubtless there because of my wireless HP printer - but why there should be so many I have no idea (other than the printer has been attached via cable for a while, as the wireless connection proved flaky, so it may generate a new IP connection every time the PC polls the printer).
However, I doubt that's the source of the poor streaming, as streaming has been bad since before I installed the HP printer.
There are also some slightly troubling IP processes that are associated with e.g. Akamai Technologies and Expert City.
Also - I can get "what's running" help to initialise - do you have any insight as to why, occasionally, some of the IP processes get highlighted in red, and sometimes in green?
Woolwell: on the XP machine, it's Avast! - on the W7 machine, it's MSE.

Just wondered if the streaming is being scanned by the anti-virus and how much resources those programs are using. This may be a red-herring.

Thanks Woolwell. I can't be 100% certain, but I think the streaming problem was apparent from before I switched from AVG to Avast.

Ian, where does the streaming problem occur? Is it with BBC iPlayer on the web, BBC iPlayer desktop application, YouTube, or everywhere? If it's browser-based streaming that's affected, then does the same problem occur in more than one browser?
When the video freezes, do you see the little circular animation centre-screen to indicate the player's buffering data?
To start you off with some practical advice, it may be worth you running a fuller set of tests - BBC iPlayer Diagnostics would be ideal as apart from the regular speed-checker, it's also incorporates three streaming tests. Compare the results from both PCs and let us know what you find.

Posted January 23, 2012 at 11:34AM
S-S: thanks. It's everywhere - anything I try to stream suffers the same. However, I wasn't aware of the iPlayer diagnostics, so I'll definitely give those a try.

Posted January 24, 2012 at 9:11AM
How did you get on with your streaming tests Ian?
If again you got roughly the same results on both PCs then here are a some things to try (in the order listed):
1) For Flash-based videos, such as YouTube, or the browser-based iPlayer etc, right click in the video window, choose "Settings..." and experiment by toggling the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" option.
2) From the right-click menu, choose "Global Settings" -> "Advanced" tab. Click the "Delete All" button to empty the cache and remove any custom settings.
For suggestions 1 and 2 I'd recommend restarting your browser after making any changes.
3) Right clicking again will also show you the Flash version at the bottom of the menu. If the Windows XP one is older than the one used on your Windows 7 PC then you may want to consider upgrading it from HERE.

S-S: many thanks. Yep, I tried the iPlayer tests, but they revealed nothing that helped. So, on to your next set of suggestions. Very many thanks.

So I like this, because it's kind of unique with the shoulder pads but easy to wear everyday. It is very low cut, but I have a small chest (34-A) so it looks nice on me. The pads are a little weird, they're not perfectly pointy, probably because the material used (rayon) wouldn't fall that way). Overall, really like this piece!

Racism, Blindness and Paralysis Could Not Stop the Unrelenting Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Wednesday, July 23, 2014
Director Adam Kahan discusses his documentary, "The Case of the Three Sided Dream," about multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Kirk was not only a musician but was also a fighter for racial equality and for fair treatment of disabled persons (he was made blind as an infant by a wrongly administered eye medication). He also started a political movement to get more jazz, which he called Black Classical Music, on television. At the apex of his career Rahsaan suffered a debilitating stroke, which left half of his body paralyzed, yet he continued to play, record and tour, with the use of only one hand, literally until the day he died. "The Case of the Three Sided Dream" is playing July 26 at Rooftop Films Brookfield Place (formerly World Financial Center).
Guests:Adam Kahan

I'm glad Rahsaan's life & music are getting some exposure. He should be better known. He made playing 3 instruments much more than a gimmick. I've had "Blacknuss" & "Bright Moments" playing in my head throughout this interview!
On his preferring "blind" to "sightless," it reminds me of meeting an Israeli woman who explained her condition to me in Hebrew w/a phrase that translates as "I don't see" rather than "I *can't* see." It made me think about this & other "disabilities" differently.
A great project celebrating and one hopes reviving wide interest in the wonderful, unique, immortal Rahsaan, one of the great life forces in American music -= 'black classical music' as he called it - a one-man energy field. I had the great pleasure of seeing him several times at Newport - with Mingus and later on his own - but never more memorably than one night in a blizzard in Quebec City in 1992 (?) when a couple of hitchhiking friends and I stepped out of the driving snow into a warm and well-lit jazz pub with a small stage behind a horseshoe bar, upon which, to our shock and delght, was perched the late great Roland Kirk, in a chair, with his tenor and stritch and manzello and beels and whistles, in the midst of one of his astonishing harmonic rotary-breathing solos, as the crowded Quebecois bar crowd listened in rapt, silent amazement. Like a dream, but better, with a Kirk soundtrack.
One of the true greats. Besides having gotten to hear and see him perform, I also had the distinct pleasure of meeting him on several occasions when he was shopping at the Sam Goody record store on West 49th Street. I worked there in my first job after (not graduating) college.
Rahsaan draped himself, literally, with a whole world of stories.
Please talk about the whistling procession led by Rahsaan when interrupting the Merv Griffin show. His "protest" led to more jobs and exposure for jazz musicians on network television.
As a young promotion man at Atlantic records in Toronto, I made the mistake of saying to Rahsaan's assistant, "does he want me to do anything else/" at which point Mr Kirk rightly started yelling at me and said he was putting a voodoo curse on me. (I don't know about the curse, but from then on I always directed questions directly to a blind person when dealing with them)
The next night he was playing Montreal and my promo man there called me and told me that RAhsaan had pulled out a gun in the elevator and started waving it around. Quite shaken, he told me that you haven't lived until you have ridden in an elevator with a blind man waving a gun.
Eccentricities aside, he playing never failed to inspire.

Our Assignment
We need to protect the freedoms in which Linux was born and grew up.
I've been with Linux Journal since it was a gleam in Phil Hughes' eye, back in 1993. Phil's original plan was for something he called "a free software magazine". I was one of the friends Phil recruited to think and talk, mostly by e-mail, about how to make the magazine happen. The project was pretty far downstream when Phil sent the whole thing sideways with five words: "There's this kid from Finland...." That was the first I'd heard of Linus, or of Linux. But Phil was one of the world's experts on UNIX (having fathered many UNIX publications in previous years), and he was convinced that Linux was exactly the free operating system the world was waiting for. He was right.
And so Linux Journal was born, in March 1994, just as Linux itself arrived at version 1.0. Its first Editor in Chief was Bob Young, who knew almost nothing about Linux when Phil recruited him. ("He was selling circuit boards or something from a booth in the back of a tradeshow", Phil said.) Not long after that, Bob left to start a Linux company of his own, called Red Hat.
The first piece I wrote for Linux Journal was an interview with Craig Burton for an insert called Websmith. Craig sought me out, because he wanted to alert the Linux folks to LDAP, which he said was throwing a monkey wrench into Microsoft's plans to do for networked directories what it had done for desktop operating systems. Craig was right, and the wrench worked.
I started writing full time for LJ in 1998, covering the open-sourcing of Netscape's browser (now known as Firefox) and the creation of its new parent, Mozilla.org. This coincided with the birth of the open-source movement and the dot-com explosion, for which Linux itself was ground zero. The biggest IPOs of 1999 (a record IPO year) were Red Hat, Andover (which had earlier acquired Slashdot) and VA Linux (which later acquired Andover). Linux Journal also had offers at the time to sell out, but Phil turned them down. If he had said yes, some of us (especially Phil) would have scored big, but Linux Journal would have been long gone by now.
Back then, most of the staff worked in our Seattle headquarters. I worked remotely from California or wherever else I happened to be, and would fly in every couple months for meetings and work, and enjoyed it totally. We hit all the Linux tradeshows, plus O'Reilly's OSCon and Emerging Tech conferences. LJ was hot stuff, and so were our advertisers, most of which were venture-funded dot-com players. Then, when the crash hit in 2000, most of those advertisers vanished, leaving nobody to bill, sue or get on the phone. And then, after the attacks on 9/11/2001, companies everywhere dropped all kinds of discretionary expenses, including travel and advertising, and that hit us hard too. (I got an extra whammy by losing every one of the speaking gigs that were lined up at the time.)
Then, over the next few years, the Web became a "content delivery platform" for literally millions of blogs, sites that were "publishers" in name only, and "social networks", such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and the rest. So, while Linux Journal eagerly covered open-source CMSes (content management systems) like Drupal and WordPress, it also had to compete in a world filled with abundant low-grade "content" or worse: editorial matter scraped and republished, often without attribution, from legitimate sources (including Linux Journal), just to game Google and other advertising systems. That Linux Journal is still alive, and thriving, is testimony to amazing leadership and fortitude by Carlie Fairchild (our Publisher), Jill Franklin (our Executive Editor) and everybody else on our masthead.
But that's just us. There are bigger battles going on that I want to take this anniversary opportunity to talk about. One is over the future of journalism. The other is over the future of the Internet as an environment for developing and deploying Linux and other open platforms like it. Both are battles over the same organizing principle.
First, journalism.
For the past year and a half, I've been a visiting scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at NYU. My main work there has been helping professor Jay Rosen (who stars on Twitter as @JayRosen_NYU) with Studio 20, which is defined as "a consultancy that gets paid in problems". In academic terms, the class is clinical: students work on real-world problems with real-world publishers. During my time there, Studio 20 students have consulted Fast Company, Pro Publica, The Wall Street Journal, Quartz, Pando Daily, Syria Deeply, ABC News, TimeOut New York, Atavist, Al Jazeera America, DFM Thunderdome and others. Here are a few of the learnings I've gathered over the course of that time, both from the class and from experience with Linux Journal and other media:
The future of journalism is what Jay Rosen calls networked, Andrew Leonard calls open-source, and Dan Gillmor calls We the Media. Everybody with a stake in the output contributes input. While this comprises a kind of model, it is far from being a complete system. The media between individual contributors—telephony, texting, e-mail, blogging and postings on "social" and other media—are all fluxy and provisional. You use whatever works today, which might not be what worked yesterday or will work tomorrow. The old system was as solid and vertical as an office building—and mostly happened inside of buildings filled with paid staff working on finished pieces for publishing or airing at specific dates and times. The new system is all scaffolding, all the way down, with very few people getting paid for the work they do.
Most professional journalists who had work when the Web was born are out of the business, or under-employed within it. Many work for little or no money. Crazy as it may seem, they keep working because they believe the world needs what they do. (Rollo May once wrote that writers differ from other artists in this one significant respect: they suffer the illusion that the world really needs to hear what they have to say.) In this respect, journalists are a lot like Linux kernel hackers.
The portfolio of helpful skills for journalism today goes far beyond writing, photography, video and the ability to dig into a subject. I was amazed to hear new graduate students in journalism, when asked what skills they bring to the table, say stuff like "Ruby, Python and PHP". When we went around the room introducing ourselves on the first day of Studio 20, I heard only one student say "writing" and one say "investigative reporting". The rest all talked about their skills with software tools and services.
"Direct response" advertising is all the rage in digital media. This stuff might be called advertising, but it is instead directly descended from direct mail, better known as junk mail. It works on the assumption that surveillance-fed "big data" mills can give individuals an ideally personalized "advertising experience". For whatever good it does (such as keeping publishers alive), it is also why the most popular browser extensions and add-ons are ones that block ads and tracking. It also models spying for the NSA. In The Intention Economy, I call it a bubble, and I stand by that claim. If you want to know more about why it is doomed, read Don Marti, our former Editor in Chief, who is doing the world's deepest and most prophetic thinking and writing on the topic.
The subscription model is stronger than ever. Interesting fact: when Linux Journal went all-digital (dropping print), we lost a few subscribers but gained many more. This was, and remains, a Good Thing. But it's also one aspect of another thing....
We no longer own our stuff. We just have limited rights to use it. This is true of music, movies, books and countless apps on mobile phones and tablets. In a de facto sense, it's even true of much of the hardware we depend on, every day. Look at what it actually says in the terms and conditions you accept when you buy your smartphone or tablet, and the software that runs on it—even the stuff that costs nothing. Also look at who is snarfing up your usage data and what's being done with it. (If you can tell at all. Most of it is behind walls you can't penetrate.) Then consider this fact: there are few generic white-box phones or tablets. The existence of those in the computer market made both Linux and the Internet possible.
The commercial world has turned into a forest of silos. Every "loyalty program", every subscription system (ours included), and every Web site and service that requires its own login and password is a silo. Every one of these silos exists for the convenience of those who maintain it, and every one compounds the inconveniences suffered by the individuals who need to maintain countless separate "relationships" contained inside all these silos. Implicit in this "system" is the assumption that a captive customer or user is more valuable than a free one.
Next, the Internet.

The situation in Gaza between Israel and Hamas has been escalating everyday. The two parties are on the brink of causing a world war, and the full scope of the situation has never looked as bad as it did on Wednesday. An exchange of rapid fire between Israel and Hamas was so bright and explosive that it could be seen from space.
A German astronaut, tweeted two images which were taken from more than 200 miles above the Earth while he was at the International Space Station.

— Alexander Gerst (@Astro_Alex) July 23, 2014
The space station was hovering over Israel and Gaza, and showcases the rapid fire rockets, that have been lighting up the entire region. So far during the bloodbath, more than 680 Palestinians have been killed. Israel won a partial reprieve from the economic pain of its Gaza war on Thursday with the lifting of a US ban on commercial flights to Tel Aviv, as fighting pushed the Palestinian death toll over 700. A truce remained elusive despite intensive mediation bids. Palestinians said residents of two southern villages were trapped by tank shelling, preventing evacuation of casualties. Read More.
This is an image from the Nasa site, showing all the parties involved with the conflict.

S'more stuff--finished early in bio so I sketched the local skeleton (about 10-15 min for the whole sheet) and some gestures from later (2, 3 min each?).
Alsooo started v2 of a little project. I'm gonna add color, crop it correctly etc later, but if there are any megahuge errors please play my fresh eyes. The balance is a little.. funky, but I actually kinda like the sense of motion that it gives it.

I really like your self portraits! The gestures are cool, really nice sense of light in those. I didn't even recognize they were from posemaniacs until I saw the pose on the right. I must have drawn that pose a thousand times, it's burned into my mind forever...
Try out this and this instead, they have the same function of posemaniacs but with real people.
And in your painting with the bird I believe the bone at the base of the girl's forearm should be pointing right, not left. Try that pose out in a mirror to check.
Welcome to CA, keep up the good work!

I actually think the sculpture study is fantastic, and so are the gesture drawings. I dont see an issue with the values at all. I think the ones that have a somewhat flat values are the color images actually, and even then they are not bad either.
Very strong start, I like what I see

@Vertical; Thanks so much for the welcome, the comments, and those awesome websites! I avoid using posemaniacs when I can, but my only other chance to do gestures is for the 3 short-poses they do once a week at the local art college.. bleh. And that's only in spring and fall! I'll definitely be using those sites, thanks. < 3
And I'll check the arm--thanks for pointing that out. o: Not sure if I follow, though..
@Pleon; Thanks a bunch! Good to hear. < 3
I will keep working away. *salutes*
Did some hand sketches during class today, and drew skully a couple more times too. I'm happier with some than others, but I'm just gonna put them all up anyway. Maybe someone can find a pattern in my work that I need to fix or something (a common mistake in the bad ones, etc). Sorry for the bad scanning quality. D:
Hands are sooo much fun. < 3 All the fat and the creases and details.. though my hand kept crampin' from having to keep it balled up and whanot for the poses... xP
April 1st, 2011 #6
More stuff!
Some basic Bridgeman studies--
A couple 30 second gestures; references from one of the websites Vertical linked me too. Thanks again!
A 5-minute charcoal sketch from life--
And an old acrylics painting, done just to test out the paints (one of my first). I've got some more recent stuff I'd like to put up, but unfortunately, none of it fits into my little scanner. ]; I'll try to get some up soon though.

Thanks simply! I really enjoy the rush of gestures. They're a lot of fun. <3
So, my computer caught a horrible horrible virus and was out for two weeks... something on that level has never happened before.. and I wish from the bottom of my heart that it never happens again. Without further ado, continuing on this sketchbook journey!
I'm studying COLOR THEORY right now, but am gonna scale it up to more general COMPOSITION soon. If anyone has any good books/lectures/websites/practice exercises etc to recommend on those topics, please do! I'm attaching some thumb studies I've done from masters, with written analysis as well--if you've got anything to add, again, you're more than welcome to.
Also got--'nother sculpture study (wip, but let's call it done), and reposting some stuff from the first post.
April 19th, 2011 #9
Not much today--just another study from a statue, plus the steps.
The "color" version really bugs me.. what materiel is THAT suppose to be? Ugh. Planning probably helps when you draw, huh.
So some good news: I got accepted to a nearby art college's summer program! I'll get to work from a live model a lot. <3
Some kinda good news: I'm going to DC next week! I'll get to visit the National Gallery of Art, but I won't be able to bring my study materiel with me on the trip, and I'm going with family, so I can't really focus on art-related sites completely. Still, kinda good!
April 21st, 2011 #10
S'more stuff--a figure done just for fun, B&W from reference colors from imagination. I'm rather happy with how it came out, but the reds look so blotchy.. plus, the size you're seeing is the actual size. I need to start drawing on a larger scale. PX
Also got some Bridgman studies and gestures to put up--I'll do that later today.
Leave a comment! <3

Really good studies, colours look a bit oversaturated on that last one though, try toning them down a bit.
I love these peeps.

Crap--my greatness weakness, subtlety. I try to watch saturation levels, but I guess I don't really know what I'm even looking for. ..Which means more studies from life, right? PX Thanks for the crit!
And on that note, my totally subtle totally not draw from this photograph warm-up, one collage of Bridgman studies, and then some gestures.
Bridgman is soo amazing. Not only does he always have a super sense of mass and weight, but his figures always feel elegant and rhythmic. ;__;
April 22nd, 2011 #13
Wide range of studies you have going on here :] Your attention to texture in the digital pieces is admirable. The hands/fingers in post 10 are a bit stubby, you might want to revisit them because the rest of the piece is really well done. Keep it up :]
"A drawing is not necessarily academic because it is thorough, but only because it is dead. Neither is a drawing necessarily academic because it is done in what is called a conventional style, any more than it is good because it is done in an unconventional style. The test is whether it has life and conveys genuine feeling."- Harold Speed

So, stuff for today! A superquick skintone study from last night, a silly and cliché warm-up from today, a stylized doodle of one of my characters from a while back, and today's big project.. a study that was supposed to be focused on cloth/the girl's dress. I ended up mostly working on the hair, though.
I'll finish the study tomorrow, but right now her face is really bugging me. Like creepy, uncanny valley kind of bug. For some reason, I keep thinking of a frog.. anyone have any crits?

You should post more. That's my critique.
Okay, I'll try a bit harder, although my thoughts can be taken with a grain of salt. Your figure sketching style has probably changed since April, but I would suggest trying to simplify the figures some - draw them with fewer, straight lines and whatnot. Not because "that's the way to do it", of course, but just to try something a little different. I know that I often get locked into drawing one way, and it's good to shake things up a little. Try doing 30 second gesture drawings for a while, maybe?
Very nice work either way! I like how you've managed to work texture into a bunch of your paintings. Not a very easy thing to do!
August 18th, 2011 #24
@nicky; will do, thanks!
@toffers; D"8 thank you so much.
We're all students here.
@clean; XD posting more, I can do!
Mhm.. actually, one of the reasons I was gone for so long is cuz I was just spent a month at an art program where I drew from the figure 6-9 hours a day. It was a fantastic experience, and my figure drawing style has developed since then, but I agree that it's always good to try new exercises and I'll do some gestures later today in that style you recommend. Thank you. ^__^
Speaking of that art program, if I can ever find the CD the photos are on, I have a collection of new drawings and some sculptures to show you guys...
Meanwhile, here's a WIP for a portrait that's just been going downhill since I started on it, and an emotional venting piece about anxiety. I'll post s'more studies/etc later today, too.
Thanks for all the support, everybody! ;-;

Christ, there really are some beauties here. Love the way you use colours, the way you handle flesh on your portrait studies are brilliant. ;A;
Good to see you're putting in some stuff from imagination too, I always think it helps you know where you're retaining information from your studies and what not.
Now, you're way above me in terms of craft, so I can't really give good critique. Just keep on painting/drawing/studying. I love your stuff so far so I'll definitely be creeping up everynow'er then.

that I then filterraped. Maybe I shouldn't draw when I'm sleep deprived... >___>"
and then an updated wip of my ongoing cloth/hair study. I've learned tons about painting fabric working on this, but this just feels like the Painting That Never Endssss. ;__; I think I've spent at least 10-15hrs on it so far and it's still not done! Ugh.

@LtPlissken; Thanks man! They're fun.
Blahhh. I just did four hours of torso studies, and I feel like all I did was (a) melt my brain and (b) realize how little I know and how much there is. @__@" I'm gonna go do a longer painting of a torso now as a kind of wrap-up piece, and I'll post that tomorrow.
For today, at long last, the final of the cloth study--I'm not too happy with it, but I learned a lot, so I'll consider it a success--and my warm-up from today, and a really old portrait because I'd feel bad just posting one picture. 8D"
Hope you guys like and seeya tomorrow!

lol i cant just keep the same set, so i decided to base my new set over this ugly ass helm off of heroic feng!
Really diggin' this. Simple, the shoulders/helm go well IMO. And the weapons I like because they are huge. Not the best, but massive which is fun.
@endersblade: I agree, working on my conq set aswell The helm is great, and I hate most head items ingame. Blue set is the best imo, green is kinda meh and I wont reach red anyways :P
They're the only ones with that model, as far as color goes. Whenever I'm not busy I'm going to farm for the mace from ICC 5mans

Ammunition for the US Health Care Debate: JAMA Compares US and Canadian Health Care Systems
Nov 30, 2009
Last month's
Journal of the American Medical Association
had an interesting comparison of health care in the US and Canada. It shows that choice--that American bugaboo--is not limited in Canada. It's worth passing on to those who are wavering on whether to support health care reform in the US.
The conclusion is that although government-sponsored plans like Canada's are frequently publicly portrayed as limiting choice, there is clear evidence that for Canada's health care system, less choice in insurance coverage (although guaranteed) has not resulted in less choice of hospitals, physicians, and diagnostic testing
Note: I've copied this from the on-line edition of JAMA which is not readily available to the lay reader.
Health Care Choices and Decisions in the United States and Canada
By Joseph S. Ross, MD, MHS; Allan S. Detsky, MD, PhD
Media speculation about the scope of proposals for health care reform in the United
States has led many Americans to be "very concerned" that changes will limit their
choices in the future. Health care choices are made on 3 levels: insurance plans,
sources of care (physicians and hospitals), and clinical decisions (diagnostic tests and
treatments). In this Commentary, the extent to which Americans currently are able to
exercise choices is discussed. For context, the US environment is compared with that in Canada, partly because the Canadian health system, with much greater government
involvement, is often publicly portrayed in the United States as limiting choice.
Insurance Coverage
United States
All US citizens, other than those aged 65 years or older and the very poor, make the choice to purchase private health insurance (or not). It is estimated that nearly 47 million individuals have no coverage. It is unknown how many choose not to purchase coverage, cannot afford coverage, or cannot obtain coverage. Uninsured persons are severely limited in all other health care choices. They must either receive charity care or pay for care out of pocket, possibly incurring substantial debt or bankruptcy. The choice of insurance plan is also often limited; 96% of US
Metropolitan Statistical Areas have insurance markets that are highly concentrated, consolidated among only a few companies. Employers who offer health insurance also frequently limit choices. One plan is often established as preferred and made less expensive through lower premiums and co-payments. Few working adults can afford to purchase plans outside of their employer because other plans' costs and risks are neither subsidized nor pooled. In addition, loss or change of jobs often results in loss of insurance coverage or substantially higher payments to retain existing coverage.
In contrast, insurers have the choice to accept or deny individuals coverage for innumerable reasons, often related to prior or current medical conditions. They may even deny coverage among those they insure for specific care related to preexisting conditions.
All Canadian citizens and landed immigrants are eligible to receive health insurance through the government-sponsored plan administered by their province or territory. Because the application process is simple, without screening for current or preexisting health conditions or means testing, unenrolled individuals who seek care are routinely enrolled by clinical practices and hospitals, removing the need for charity care. Insurance coverage is not tied to employment and so does not change with loss or change of jobs. The Canadian government mandates that all provincial plans cover "necessary care," including most physician and hospital services. However, there are private insurance plans to obtain coverage for services that are not covered by some provincial plans, such as pharmaceuticals, private rooms in hospitals, dental care, home care, physiotherapy, and chiropractic care.
Hospitals and Physicians
United States
The choice of hospital or physician is often made by an individual's insurance plan. Whether structured as a health maintenance organization, preferred provider organization, or otherwise, most plans attempt to limit costs by designating hospitals and physicians, offering either discounted coinsurance or additional benefits to promote their use. Receiving care "out of network" requires that individuals pay substantially larger co-payments.
Health insurance plans often require individuals to choose a primary care physician on enrollment who arranges referrals to specialist physicians. Forty percent of sicker adult Americans report difficulties seeing a specialist, 40% because of long waiting times, 31% because of a denied referral or waiting for a referral, and 17% because they cannot afford private insurance.
Choice is also influenced by availability of care. The United States ranks last in international comparisons for patients finding it somewhat or very difficult to obtain care on nights or weekends without going to an emergency department.5
Canadians may choose to receive care from any physician or hospital anywhere in Canada. Typically, a family physician provides primary care and makes referrals to specialists. There is no limit to the number of different physicians a patient can see. If patients are not satisfied with the care of one physician or hospital, they may change to another. Specialists generally require a referral from another physician (not necessarily the family physician) to be reimbursed for a "consultation" but can evaluate any patient and be reimbursed for an "assessment." Individuals may present to any hospital emergency department and request specialty care,which is scheduled as long as the emergency physician, who has no incentive not to, agrees.
Diagnostic Testing and Treatments
United States
The common presumption is that there is access to every new diagnostic test, procedure, medication, and intervention in the United States. However, insurance plans make use of formularies that restrict medications. Generally, at least 1 medication in any pharmacologic class is offered among "first-tier" medications, for which co-payments are the least expensive. Choosing less expensive or generic medications is also facilitated by requiring prior authorization for brand-name medications when a generic alternative exists or by offering 1 medication in a class at a lower co-payment after contracting with the manufacturer to obtain a discounted price.Similarly, although many routine, less expensive services are not restricted, prior authorization is often used to limit the use of expensive health care services such as magnetic resonance imaging or experimental interventions.
In international comparisons, US waiting times are consistently shorter for elective surgeries and procedures. However, even though physicians and hospitals generally are able and willing to provide care quickly and efficiently, insurance plans are not necessarily similarly willing to fully reimburse charges. Often, it is not until after the procedure and utilization review that patients become aware of the substantial portion of the payment they must incur.
Virtually all health care services available in the United States are also available in Canada. There isregionalization of specialized services, such as surgical, oncology, or imaging procedures. For services unavailable in all parts of Canada, such as gamma knife surgery, governments will reimburse care received in the United States, but patients are required to apply in advance. In contrast with common perception, Canadians' use of elective health care services in the United States is not common.For care in Canada, there is no utilization review and all services are covered in full without co-payment. Physicians and hospitals are paid promptly by the government. Patients receive no bill and fill out no forms. However, as opposed to prior authorization, the use of expensive health care services is limited by supply; there are fewer facilities per capita that provide this care. Provincial and private drug plans use formularies similar to those in the United States.
Waiting time is less a health care issue than a political one. Both federal and provincial governments haveresponded to media-facilitated public pressure to reduce wait times for specific services, such as hip and knee replacement, cataract surgery, cancer surgery, and emergency care through strategies that resemble pay for performance.Moreover, there is provincial variation in reliance on private facilities that charge individuals directly for common diagnostic services (eg, blood drawing, imaging); some provinces have allowed (or tacitly encouraged) these facilities, allowing patients to choose to pay for some routine care to receive it sooner.
The Bottom Line
Government-sponsored plans like Canada's are frequently publicly portrayed as limiting choice. However, there is clear evidence that for Canada's health care system, less choice in insurance coverage (although guaranteed) has not resulted in less choice of hospitals, physicians, and diagnostic testing

Can somebody point me in the right direction please? I have been searching for a plugin/widget for while now the will let me do the following:
- set up a grid of thumbnails/photos - have a list of categories down a side bar - which will let me isolate certain photos using the categories
something similar to this: http://www.unitedcarpetsandbeds.com/carpets
Thank you in advance!
What you need is an eCommerce Plugin ( WooCommerce, Jigoshop, Easy Digital Downloads ), with a product filter or faceted search functionality
Thank you sevenspark, very much appreciated
Me again. Checked those plugins and they look good. However, is there a plugin that will allow me just to display a grid of images without the ecommerce functionality? In this case I don't have a need for it.
If I create an image gallery is there a plugin I can use to create an category menu that will filter out certain tags?

Question about in-boom furling & in-mast furling
Hello everyone,
I did a quick search about this and couldn't find what I was looking for. It would seem that in-mast furling has become vastly more common than in-boom furling. There must be a reason and my question is what is that reason? I have no intention of installing either on my boat, I was merely curious.
Of course if my assessment is wrong someone please correct me on that.
Thanks in advance.
s/v KIVALO
Re: Question about in-boom furling & in-mast furling
In boom is more expensive.. but honestly I'm not sure why. Makes more sense on a number of fronts, perhaps they have more issues feeding into/out of the mast track?? Easier to roll out a sail than actually hoist it?
Re: Question about in-boom furling & in-mast furling
I've always thought that in boom seemed to make so much more sense than in mast but having now some experience with in mast and having looked at the size of in boom furlers I'm tending to favour in mast. Furling into the mast gives you a relatively thin tube of sail, into the boom it gets a hell of a lot chunkier.

Peruvian Horizon Alpaca Scarf
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Accessories/Scarves and Shawls
Archaeologists call the period between 1475 and 1532 Peru's Late Horizon. Most smaller civilizations had become part of the Inca Empire, which dominated the region in the pre-Columbian era. Architecture, ceramics, and textile arts flourished. The gold and red geometric pattern of this soft baby alpaca and silk scarf is inspired by a woven sling from the Late Horizon period.
Peruvian Terrace Alpaca Sweater
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Men's Clothing/Sweaters
Terrace farming has been part of the Peruvian landscape since at least 900 b.c. It makes even the steep Andes farmable, which, scholars agree, contributed to the success of pre-Inca civilizations like the Chavín, Moche, and Huari. This ancient striped landscape of rock, soil, and crops is the inspiration behind our textured sweater.
Available sizes: Medium, Large, XLarge
Peruvian Dove Alpaca Cardigan
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
The native doves of Peru appear much like their northern cousins, but when they take flight, their brilliant wing patches appear as shining crescents of bright white feathers. The doves' callcoo-coo-leehas earned this Peruvian bird the nickname cuculi. Inspired by this familiar but beautiful local bird, the long and lovely Peruvian Dove cardigan sweater wraps you in gossamer warmth. With a delicate and subtly asymmetrical grey and white pattern, the open collar can be pulled in close for a shawl-like effect, or worn open and loose for a dramatic and flattering drape. This superlight alpaca sweater is hand-finished in the Peruvian Andes by a company dedicated to supporting local Andean communities and craftsman.
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge
Peruvian Reverse-painted Butterfly Box
(Based on 16 reviews)
Category: Home & Garden/Home Décor/Home Accents
The art of reverse painting on glass was brought to Peru by settling Spaniards in the 15th century. Local artisans emulated the style found on mirrors and other Spanish household objects and, in time, added so much of their own inspiration that the technique became recognized as a Peruvian craft tradition. There are a dwindling number of Peruvian artists who still practice this unique and romantic art. Here the artisan captures the ethereal beauty of butterflies on the hinged lid of a handcrafted wooden jewelry box.
Peruvian Reverse-painted Glass Tray
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Home Décor/Home Accents
In reverse-painted glass, the details of a design are applied first, followed by highlights, then backgrounds. When viewed from the opposite side, the effect is a rich and layered design. Conquering Spaniards brought the technique to the New World in the 15th century, where Peruvian artisans adapted it and made it a national art form. This divided tray is a perfect catchall for a hall table or vanity.
Aster Alpaca Sweater
(Based on 8 reviews)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
In the Andean Altiplano of Peru, artisans have been knitting with soft, lightweight alpaca fiber for centuries. Aymara and Quechua artisans in Peru use an alpaca blend to create a dark brown cardigan with a blue and turquoise pattern of asters flowing from the hem and sleeves. A single bloom graces the back of the sweater. Made entirely on hand looms, the sweater is embellished with hand-knit scalloping at the cuffs and hem, and hand-painted ceramic buttons. Light, soft, easily packable, and wrinkle resistant.
Available colors: Blue, Pink
Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge
Kantuta Flower Alpaca Cardigan
(Based on 1 review)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters

Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large, XLarge
Jauja Alpaca Cardigan
(Got it? Rate it.)
Category: Clothing/Women's Clothing/Sweaters
The Peruvian town of Jauja briefly flourished as the capital of Spanish Peru. The Inca riches that Pizarro and his men found there even lead to the legend that Jajua was a land of luxury. "Pais de Jauja" has become a Spanish expression for a mythical land of leisure and excess, but today the real Jauja is a quiet colonial town with fewer than 20,000 residents. The lacy patterns on our alpaca-blend cardigan are inspired by the Baroque and Rococo architecture of the 1564 Jauja Cathedral. Features a hidden front zipper.
