Selected Works of F.W. Champion: Compiled by James Champion; Rainfed Books, 60/4, 4th Cross Street, Besant Nagar, Chennai-600090. Rs. 495.
Most Indians of the post-1947 generations may not have even heard of Fredrick Walter Champion (FWC), and much less of his Indian legacy. The anthology under review unveils FWC the man, who was first and foremost someone simply besotted with India's wildernesses and all the denizens that inhabit those spaces, and therefore the messiah of our conservation movement.
Equally, FWC emerges as a distinguished, gazetted officer of the Indian Forest Service. In the 25 five years period preceding India's Independence, his pioneering advocacy of creating National Parks in India (similar to those in the U.S. and South Africa) resulted first in the enactment of The National Parks Act, 1935 and a few years later, the creation of The Hailey National Park, today's prestigious Corbett Tiger Reserve. These latter achievements became possible through the enthusiastic support of the Governor of the United Provinces, Sir Malcolm Hailey, who later became the Viceroy of India and further influenced the Wildlife Conservation paradigm in India.
Seizing the post World War I concessions for university education in the U.K., FWC left the Indian Army and enrolling in New College, Oxford he Post Graduated in Forestry, topping the class of 1922 and returned to India to assume charge of the Lansdowne Forest Division. He met and married Julia (Judy) at Lansdowne, the daughter of Lady Frances and Major General Sir Keith Stewart, KCB, DSO, of the Garhwal Rifles. Aided by this happy marriage and job-security, FWC was to emerge within the first 10 years of service as the undisputed pioneer of wildlife photography in India, and the first to successfully pursue free-ranging tigers armed with a camera, in their natural habitat, mostly in today's Corbett Park.
Simultaneously, FWC flowered as a writer of refined, and enchanting prose which supported by his deft handling of cameras, found ready acceptance with prestigious publications such as The Illustrated London News and also by the two most exclusive out-doors magazines, The Field and Country Life. His first book, With A Camera In Tiger-Land, published in 1927 was received most enthusiastically. This was a great achievement considering that both photography and writing were merely persuasions on the side-lines of FWC's demanding profession.
Perhaps the best testimony to FWC as a writer and naturalist lies firmly embedded in one of his earliest texts, A Remarkable "Sitting" by a Wild Tiger, published by the Illustrated London News; and appropriately, this is the first chapter of the anthology. In the course of his duty, FWC had learnt of several ways to intercept Tigers (so to speak), both while on their nocturnal hunts as also in their diurnal lairs! So taking a day off once, he had mounted on his favourite elephant Balmati in the company of his wife Judy, when shortly before mid-day Judy nudged FWC to indicate the tiger, which sighting provided the following description, more vivid than any visuals can ever be: "He lay, twelve yards away from us, with his mouth open, his sides heaving, yawning occasionally, sometime rolling right over on his side and sometime holding his head up, until his eyes began gradually to close with sleep. Every now and then he opened his eyes and looked at us, but always came to the conclusion that we were harmless, if somewhat boring, intruders who were disturbing his afternoon nap. He stayed there for perhaps a quarter of an hour, during which time we exposed all the Plates we had, gradually going closer and closer until the last Plate was exposed at a little under ten yards range … One simple shot, and all the life and movement would have gone from that beautiful striped body and could never be brought back again." FWC was never to falter from that conviction.
Origin of tripwire
Remarkable as those images of the Tiger were for the sheer novelty of the endeavour, but the demanding photographer in FWC was quick to notice two technical blemishes, (a) arising from the uncontrolled effects of sunlight and shadows upon the subject and (b) the inevitable "camera-shake" induced by Balmati's breathing rhythm. It was therefore a natural next step for FWC to (i) ensure a rigid mount for the camera (ii) induce the tiger to a pre-focused spot using a bait, and (iii) last but most importantly, to innovate a light-flash of sufficient intensity, to fire synchronously with the camera shutter-release for capturing true to life imagery. And this is what led FWC to use a tripwire as the trigger in his innovation which in today's parlance and usage is termed, "Camera-Traps". Once Mr. Nesbit of New York had patented a robust flash-light apparatus, FWC acquired one and used it thenceforth. Yet, the endeavour remained failures-riddled.
"I have arranged my apparatus perhaps 150 times in this way, and I have had a tiger pass only six times. Four times the flashlight was fired, the fifth time the tiger saw the trip-wire and stepped carefully over it and the sixth time the wire broke without completing the electric circuit. Of the four times the flashlight was fired, once the shutter failed to work and another time the tiger found the wire and took it in his mouth, the somewhat indifferent picture on Plate xxx showing him actually in the act of biting it! Of the remaining two exposures, one shows the tiger going away and the other is pictured on the frontispiece and is, I consider, the best photograph I have ever obtained."
In my opinion, even in today's digital-camera world, that black and white image will rank among the best of the best tiger photographs. Jim Corbett is on record that he took to tiger-photography on seeing FWC's creations.
But what of FWC as a professional forester? Suffice to say that when the Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun celebrated their Centenary in 1961, they picked on FWC, now in the twilight of his life-span, to write for the occasion his reminiscences which forms the last chapter of the book; "Wildlife in Indian Forests". He deliberately chose "not to write about the scientific side of forestry" but rather about the denizens of the Indian jungle and their conservation-needs which according to FWC must be integral to the basic precepts of the forestry paradigm and practices. And he went on to emphasis once again, that "I had lost all desire to kill wild animals. Not that this has proved any loss to me because I have found that wildlife photography provides all the thrills and excitement of hunting without having to shed any blood at all ..."
Lest it be misunderstood that FWC was exclusively tiger-centric, let me state that the 24 pieces in this anthology range from elephants to squirrels, Indian wild dog to black bear, jungle cats to butterflies and so on. And among that photo-trove of FWC there was one classic, trip-wire image which revealed to the world for the first time, that sloth bears carry their cubs, piggy-back!
The frontispiece has Balmati and her mahout, Karim Baksh in a charcoal portrait. And at the end of each chapter is a tiny perched bird, a likeness of the Coal Tit photographed by FWC at age 17 and which fetched him six Shillings in prize money! Altogether, the anthology compiled by James Champion, FWC's doting grandson, makes compelling reading.

The Affordable Care Act's requirement that employers notify employees about the health insurance exchange by March 1, 2013, has been postponed indefinitely. The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury have postponed this requirement until the Secretary of Labor issues regulations about the notice and those regulations become effective. It is anticipated that the requirement for distribution of the notice will be in the late summer or fall of 2013, which will coordinate with the open enrollment period for the exchanges.
The exchange notice required by the ACA must include the following information:
What This Means for Employers
It is likely that the Department of Labor will issue a model notice that would satisfy the above requirements. Once the model notice is issued, Bernstein Shur's Affordable Care Act Team will recommend whether employers should use that model or draft their own. For now, employers are relieved of the obligation to provide new and current employees with the notice, until further guidance is issued.
We will continue to keep employers apprised of developments related to the implementation of the notice requirement, as well as other issues related to the ACA.

PoochMPI Toolkit for Mathematica debuts
updated 05:35 pm EDT, Tue August 8, 2006
Pooch for Mathematica
Dauger Research and Advanced Cluster Systems have announced the PoochMPI Toolkit for Mathematica, enabling Wolfram Research's Mathematica to be combined with the easy-to-use, supercomputer-compatible Pooch clustering technology of Dauger Research. This new technology extends the power of clusters: "Pooch has long provided users with fastest and easiest path to parallel computing", said Dr. Dean Dauger, President of Dauger Research, Inc. "Today we've truly run Mathematica in parallel, enabling its power to be combined with Pooch's ease of use and reliability. This creates one of the most powerful cluster solutions ever and a milestone for which we're proud." Inspired by the supercomputing-standard Message-Passing Interface (MPI), the PoochMPI Toolkit creates a standardized way for Mathematica kernels to communicate with each other directly. It is scheduled to be available by the end of September.
The company contrasted the solution with typical grid implementations that are master-slave or server-client, saying with PoochMPI all the kernels can communicate with each other directly and collectively the way modern supercomputers do.
"PoochMPI for Mathematica takes Wolfram Research's gridMathematica to levels never experienced before." says Zvi Tannenbaum, co-founder and CTO of Advanced Cluster Systems, LLC. "We're thrilled by the possibilities. This opens up whole new worlds for Mathematica programmers to explore, limited only by their imagination."
As they do for cluster codes, Pooch and MacMPI provide the support infrastructure to enable this supercomputing-style parallel startup and inter-kernel communication. Within the Mathematica environment, this creates an "all-to-all" communication topology, which practitioners have found to be required to address the largest problems in scientific computing since the first large supercomputers.
In addition to locating, launching, and coordinating Mathematica kernels on a cluster, the PoochMPI Toolkit provides an API that closely follows the MPI, enabling Mathematica kernels to be harnessed together the way supercomputers are, according to the company.

After several years of promises made and recommendations sent, a new line between Sriperumbudur and Guduvanchery with a spur line to Irungattukottai, Avadi was announced in the Railway Budget 2013-14.
Welcoming the budget announcement, several residents and industrialists said that it would make travel to the fast-developing Sriperumbudur-Irungattukottai industrial belt much easier.
When completed, the new line will also help significantly decongest train traffic at Chennai Central station, as all south-bound trains can then be diverted from Avadi to Sriperumbudur.
Industrialist V. Rajkumar of Irungattukottai said that it would also help freight movement.
The line will also be crucial for an integrated dry port and multi-modal logistics hub coming up in Mappedu, Sriperumbudur. The dry port will enable major industries with establishments in and around the area to use Chennai port's facilities.
Residents recalled that this budget recommendation was made in 2010 by Member of Parliament T.R. Baalu.
Sources in Southern Railway said that an initial survey has been completed for the new line. "We found that we will require 385 hectares of land to lay the 73-km line. The land acquisition cost is estimated to be around Rs. 350 crore," a source said.
Once the necessary sanction for the project, including environment clearance is obtained, a final location survey will be conducted, land classifications will be found and major and minor bridges will be marked.
The project will take at least four years to be completed, as the land acquisition process alone will take around two years, the source added.
Though seven new trains have been announced between Chennai and other parts of the State and country, the budget has left some commuters, particularly those to north India, disappointed.
Arjun Singh who frequently travels to Rajasthan said that they needed more trains to Jodhpur from Chennai.
Residents of Royapuram also complained that the government was yet to take concrete steps to develop Royapuram railway station as announced in last year's budget. A.T.P. Bose, co-convenor of the Rail Passengers Rights Tribune said that if the Royapuram heritage railway station was developed into a terminal, trains bound to the eastern and northern parts of the country could leave from there.
Representatives of disabled associations like S. Namburajan said that budget announcements were not being promptly implemented.
Accessibility to platforms and boarding trains continues to be a problem for many persons with physical disabilities. The escalators, lifts and Braille stickers that were announced in the budget have to be implemented soon. "Other commuters occupy many coaches dedicated for the disabled.
The government should also provide an identity card for disabled commuters that are accepted by services such as railways," said Mr. Namburajan.
Many youngsters welcomed the announcements to provide free wi-fi facilities on several trains and the proposal to introduce an educational tourist train 'Azadi Express' that would allow youngsters to travel to places connected to the freedom movement at subsidised fares. S. Samuel, a human resources professional said it would help him work while travelling.

Tourism in Bell County is centered around the historical aspects and natural beauty of the mountains. Adventure Tourism is honing in on the outdoor activities tourists can experience while visiting the Tri-State area by filming a commercial.
Jon Grace of Adventure Tourism has only filmed footage for a few days, but the project has been going on for months.
"I had in my head how I wanted each segment to look, so I messaged different folks who participated in each respective activity and asked if they'd help with the commercial," said Grace.
The commercial will contain local citizens enjoying horseback riding, hunting, ATV riding, hiking, fishing, kayaking, golfing, mountain biking and motorcycle riding throughout Bell County.
Grace says this type of promotional work will also have a lasting impact on the economy from state and national park revenue increases to more subtle things like gasoline taxes.
"It's extremely difficult to find a company that is looking to expand, but we want to make sure we use every approach possible to give Bell County a leg up. Hopefully, we can grab an executive's attention and make them look into making Bell County a home for their company, which will in turn create jobs and promote economic growth," said Grace.
Grace also plans to make a promotional DVD to be distributed to different media outlets to encourage visitors to come to Bell County.
Footage can be viewed on the Adventure Tourism Facebook page and website at www.bellcountykyadventure.com. There are plans for the commercial to air on televisions stations in the near future.

Pakistan suffers 'record' child measles deaths
KARACHI–More than 300 Pakistani children died of measles last year, a staggering increase on the previous 12 months and a result of three consecutive years of flooding, officials said Tuesday.
The United Nations' World Health Organization said 306 children died of the highly infectious illness last year, 210 of them in the southern province of Sindh, where the worst floods occurred in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
The WHO said 64 children died of measles in Pakistan in 2011, 28 of them in Sindh. It was not immediately able to provide statistics for earlier years.
"Most of the affected children died due to post-measles complications such as pneumonia, post-measles encephalitis and diarrhea," said WHO spokeswoman Maryam Yunus.
The UN body said most of the cases occurred between October and December in northern districts of Sindh, but was unable to provide a breakdown.
"Most of (the) children who have died because of suspected measles are reported from the districts affected by the floods for (the) last three years," said Yunus.
She said WHO investigations had shown that malnourishment was a major reason for such a high number of deaths of children in Sindh.
"Floods, displacements and food shortages have played a major role behind these deaths," she added.
A Pakistani health ministry official said more than half the deaths in Sindh occurred in the last three months of the year, with 50 children dying in December alone.
The official, who did not wish to be named, told AFP that the number of deaths in 2012 was "a record high".
Pakistan on December 31 started a new measles vaccination drive in the worst affected areas, which will run until January 9, officials said.

it isn't as simple as saying you either have it or you dont. it's limiting to have that mindset. if one finds the straight arm may suit his or her game better and wants to transition to it from a double bend, then i see nothing wrong with that. if it causes some pain or difficulty, the best thing to do is to learn what's causing it and fixing the problem, instead of reverting to what you know. one can guess, but can't possibly know which method is better unless both are given a proper go.
it can be taught, and it can be learned. dimitrov went through a pretty noticeable change from double bend to a straight arm not too long ago.
straight arm forehands don't have to be natural right away. i used a slight double bend semi western (from an even more extreme double bend full western) before consciously trying out the straight arm semi western and eventually strong eastern. it wasn't any more difficult to learn the second mothod than the first. both where difficult at first but produced different benefits after i got the hang of it.
to the OP, i'm wondering how you're forehand is doing now. have you found which variation you like better? did you go rogue and adopt a berasategui double bend instead?

Opening a shop, good idea?

Open A Store!!!
The first thing is to do a business plan. You will need to know your customer base and who is the competition in your area. How much does the customer base spend on tennis equipment per month/year, also how much money does your customers make in a year. You will need the manufacturers to sell you the equipment at wholesale and also letters/email stating that they will sell you the equipment at that price. There might be other places that won't sell you equipment because they have contracts that will not let them sell you the equipment in the same area. Also the manufacturer on what you want to carry might make you order a lot of stock to get the discount on materials. That is just the tip of the iceberg... I did a business plan for my small business management class in college and it was 30 pages. There is a reason most start ups fail within the first three years in business. All the best if you go through with the business idea.

Carry no more than 4 of each model racquet, some balls, and shoes.
Have any of you opened a shop? What's your experience been?

I have been using this religiously twice a day for around two weeks now and oh my god what a difference this has made!
Obviously combined with a three step but this is what I feel the most difference from. It is not drying, non irritating and I can really feel it working!
I soak a cotton wipe and gnetly swipe all over my face and let cool. It doesn't feel very drying at all and immediately I always touch my face to feel the softness. I follow up with DDMG and moisture surge and get quite grumpy if I forget this. I've also dragged myself out of bed to do this late at night to ensure I keep up and my skin is speaking for itself it is positively glowing!

quick exfoliation that gives great clear skin
Perfect for those with combination or oilier skin types.
Don't use this as a toner where you pat the product into the skin and you won't find it drying at all . Instead, dip a cotton pad with some of the lotion and then quickly swipe across the skin of the face, avoiding the delicate eye areas. It not only help to remove any residue traces but helps to exfoliate dead skin cells and help keep the skin oil free for longer.
My skin is always brighter and with no patches after using it for 4 days and I find that I'm more in love with the product now than I was 15 years ago when I first started using it.

Too drying
Can't believe this is suitable for dry skin when it has alcohol in it. Definitely not for dry skin. My skin was so red and flaky the next morning
Rating: Jul 1, 2014 7:08pm
This a very mild exfoliant. It contains 0.5% salicylic acid, which is an effective exfoliant at the right ph. If you have moderate to severe acne, you'll probably need a product with a higher amount of salicylic acid (e.g. 1-2%). However those with sensitive skin or those who can't handle higher amounts of salicylic acid may prefer this product. This has a toner consistency but is a little bit thicker than some toners. After cleansing, I like to pour a dime sized amount of this into my palm, which I rub on my face before using a cotton round to wipe it off. I find this product gentle and it doesn't sting my skin. Its not hydrating but its fragrance-free and alcohol-free so it doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. This is the best Clinique toner because it's alcohol-free. Those with more dry skin may prefer thr Clinique moisture surge mist as well.

I have a major problem with redness & recently had a bad reaction to a product that caused my skin to become extremely dry, flaky, tight & even painful in some areas. I visited my lovely Clinique rep & she directed me to this product. It does not contain alcohol & is not drying on the skin. I have been using it twice daily & my skin is improving. It has a thicker texture than other toners & feels silky on my skin. I feel it really adds something to my cleansing routine. The only thing I wish was either that it has a stopper or pump to control the amount dispensed.
A little goes a long way.
Ideal for
Anyone with sensitive, aggravated, dry, flaky and/or redness issues with their skin.

good for sensitive and dry skin
I have very sensitive skin. Tried multiple brands before but the toner always leave my skin too dry, or if unlucky, I can get skin burns. For that reason I always choose Clinique when my skin condition is bad, it is always neutral and gentle on the skin, allowing it to heal. It does not have much exfoliating effect though, so I tend to use a proper exfoliating mask/serum on a regular basis.
If concern about it being too mild, use regular exfoliating products on top :)

I have noticed some of the earlier reviews here seem to be directed at the Clarifying Lotion 1, which contains alcohol.
This version does NOT contain alcohol, irritants, scent and is NOT drying. It deserves 5 stars allround.
It contains salicylic acid, aloe, millet glycoprotein, light moisture binding agents, and soothing agents.
The product has a toner-lotion consistency that absorbs well (just careful not to pour too much onto the cotton pad or spill any), removes cleanser/makeup residue, skin feels clean, refreshed, soothed, hydrated, smooth and silky.
I have combination skin prone to blackheads and cystic blemishes that is also severely dehydrated. This version of Clinique's chemical exfoliators works best for my skin type as it does not cause problems, strip or irritate.

seems to work ok
i've used different clinique clarifying lotions before and found this one to be less harsh in terms of the feel and the smell but not sure if it's really working as well as the other ones? someone told me it contains aloe vera and so far i haven't had a reaction to it so hopefully it's working

verry gentle
i have been using this for the last week and i realy like it.
it has been fine with my sensitive skin i have had no reaction with this prouduct i always feel nice and fresh once used and my face glows i have used the other clarafying lotions before no 1&2 and have had no luck they have lsft my skin too dry and red but this mild version is the best if you have dry/sensitive as it contains no alcahol or irratents in it
used twice a day after extra mild liquid facial soap and before ddml

In the age of the overproduction of sports and of stage-managed "moments," rarely does a connection between an athlete and his fans feel authentic. Sure, fans "know" their favorite athletes: what their mansions look like, which starlets they date, what they say on Twitter. But these sort of athlete-fan interactions seem tested before focus groups, directed by teams of public-relations consultants rather than inspired by authenticity. That was not the case Wednesday night at the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 1, when local boy Jake Ellenberger came out from the bowels of the aging Omaha Civic Auditorium. As his walkout song played -- "Coming Home," of course, by Diddy-Dirty Money -- the adoring Cornhuskers who packed this venue erupted. This was the city where Ellenberger grew up, the place he returned to in 2005 as a US Marine Corps veteran, and the place where he now was an assistant wrestling coach for University of Nebraska-Omaha, which had won three straight Division II national ...

Olsen (1-3, 6.08) went five and two-thirds, allowing just a single run on Shane Victorino's third home run of the season. He gave up six hits and two walks, striking out six.
Garrett Mock and Kip Wells followed with two and one-third innings of scoreless relief, and Tavarez got two groundball outs before finally striking out Victorino to end the game. It was Tavarez' first save since May 28, 2006.
Anderson Hernandez was the hitting star, going 3-for-4 with two RBI. Ryan Zimmerman extended his hitting streak to 18 games, longest in the majors this year, and longest in the five-year history of the Nationals.
Mock and Wells walked three guys between them in two and one-third, but didn't give up a hit.

Born: February 21, 1917 | Died: 1965
Tadd Dameron as a composer and arranger was the man who in the 1940s and '50s was among the first to use the sometimes raw and undisciplined devices of the then- new style of jazz called bebop in well-developed arrangements for big bands and small groups. Perhaps more than any other musician, Dameron added form to the then-emerging style of bop.
Born in Cleveland in 1917, Dameron grew up with music all around him, his mother first taught him to play piano, not to read, but by memory. But, it was Dameron's older brother, Caesar, a saxophonist, who got his brother interested in jazz by listening to the records of the big bands of the 1930's like Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, and the Casa Loma band that was playing unique arrangements at the time....

incredible volume of work, really nice effort, but i gotta say i agree with archipelago - it's not about the number of drawings you do, it's about practicing every day and learning to become better.
I think most of your stuff looks so similar because you mostly draw the same face over and over again - probably because you know it and can do it really fast so you can draw lots of them. there's your problem right there. the key to learning how to draw is to learn to look at things differently. with everything you draw, try to pretend you know nothing about it so you have to really look at your subject all the time. you should spend at least 80% of your time looking at your subject, you should be analysing it literally between each line you draw!
a good book for this is "drawing on the right side of the brain", because it aims to change the way you look at everything. it's a bit long-winded, but has very very good exercises. helped me a lot!
the second piece of advice is construction. you seem to be following the "copy" approach to drawing, which is taught a lot in art schools but really all it does it teach you how to take photographs with a pencil. have a look at Loomis books (available for free online, since they're decades out of print) and see how he constructs figures and environments out of primitive shapes in perspective. once you've got that down your drawings from imagination will improve incredibly
lastly, it's hard to tell if this is a problem for you, but it sure was for me so i'll mention it: slow down. you seem to be drawing incredibly fast and scribbly, maybe cuz you've seen much more experienced artists draw that way. they do it because they know what they're doing, and because they do a lot of really important steps in their heads to save time! if you slow right down and think about every line you draw and analyse every mistake you made, you can improve a lot more by just doing 1 page a day. you'll also see your lines improve towards stronger, longer, more confident lines.
oops, that turned out to be kind of a long post, I hope some of it makes sense!
all the best

quick still life
A quick 20-30 min still life after my lamp lol. What an achievement, I drew a lamp. by the way I am now copying Dile for the studies and such. Next up: Pages of leg and arm studies! The only down side is I feel like every time I try to memorize something I lose a bit of my creativity :/ I have to balance the studies out with just random imagination drawing
December 14th, 2010 #128
Masterstryke - thanks for the advice, if I work under black lines they tend to have a multiply effect on whatever Im doing and slowly all my shadows turn pure black haha... im not sure whether I want to finish that but, I kind of like it so why not
Neon Duck - Yeah I tend to focus too much on other people's improvement and not enough on my own. That way it gets no fun really fast, because I'm not actually thinking about what I'm drawing I'm just trying to make it look like the other person's - this is why I think I did not learn much the whole time I was drawing faces, because I never actually thought of what I was doing I was just copying... then I worked out a formula so thats why all of them look the same. Also, thanks for the book ref As for the scribbly drawing, it's how I imagination draw... it works well with paper but not so well with digital since digital goes to pure black much more quickly. There's construction type lines and then there's the flowy imagination lines that I use sometimes, i don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but it's difficult for me to just think of a shape in my head and draw it, there needs to be something, some kind of randomness or noise, already there for my brain to make the connections.

leg studies 1
Leg studies... no ref for drawings, but I did look at some real legs to try to figure out the muscles. I E I didn't copy the poses / angles of the legs, but tried to decipher the muscle placements from photos. I think I'm going to do some straight studies right out of my book now.
December 15th, 2010 #130
Leg and arm studies
Some leg studies right out of my book and a bunch of arms + chest studies out of my head, but occasionally reffing the book to check where the muscles are. These ones are not as good as the other leg studies cuz it's too late and I could not think straight or learn too well haha,,, so lines got messy and 3d thinking was hindered
Uhh, my anatomy book confuses the HELL OUT OF ME. they got an amazing life artist to do it, but throughout the book he literally goes through every single bone in the body and every single muscle... and it really confuses me when im trying to draw it so all I can really do is simplify and guess as to the details. any suggestions for an alternative?
December 16th, 2010 #131
skull studies
used ref for the ones marked ref... other ones aren't that good but I am trying to figure out the structure rather than just copying it from every ref angle

Liam's Second ever zbrush!!!
This time I was trying to regurgitate what I had 'learned' about the arm from my studies. Unfortunaltely, all I could remember was about 4 large muscles and the rest I just fudged until it looked right. Which means it probably doesn't look right to people who actually are good at anatomy lol.
December 16th, 2010 #135
Also I did this today, I had the idea floating around in my head for a little while but decided to put it on paper today... there's a piece of glass between them in case you cannot see. I know the woman's pose is really awkward but I can't find a way to fix it even though I moved and redrew stuff XD... My crosshatching will most probably be painted over, I just did it because I miss and enjoy crosshatching hehe, just did it for fun =P

One more from last night
Trying to finish something every day. Spent a while (about maybe 2 hours) on the line art, even though I didn't finish lawl. My idea was to make a dude who had such a big gun that he needed an exosuit just to walk around with it. Alas, the gun was an afterthought and is neither big nor threatening.
started out quite fun and moved along hastily, but as I worked things got slower and slower Im a bit sad I couldn't finish it before bedtime, which means I probably won't :/

Spent a significant amount of time on this today. About maybe 5 hours? Probably less, I think I did this faster than my usual stuff. Kept it more loose this time! According to spiffy the claw arm looks awkward and stupid for the pose, I never saw its awkwardness but I was staring at it a long time, so one tends to miss mistakes like that.

MORE ARTS! Done this evening. Since I did not do a line art for this, I will post my super messy and crappy pencil sketch. I guess if anybody is here (lol I see tumbleweeds in my sketchbook) you could give me a crit or way to improve on my pencil sketches? I currently really suck at them :/ Usually I can make them legible in photoshop but it would be nice to have a base so it doesn't take so long to make a work.
February 15th, 2011 #149
For your sketches, maybe try to conserve your use of lines more and use your sketches to focus on the general forms and getting some solidity down? I think right now some of the basic shapes in your figures in your sketches come across a little bit hard to read because it seems like you just dive straight into detail piece-by-piece without really getting your basic forms put down solidly first for the figure as a whole. If you're just making a sketch with the intention of fleshing it out digitally, do you really need to go to that level of detail, especially if you know you're a scribbly kind of sketcher? (Not a bad thing!) If you still feel compelled to get everything down in a sketch beforehand, at the least try to consciously think about your lines before you put them down and slow down a little bit to give yourself the opportunity to think before you've already gone crazy on the page.

The Prayer That Unlocked My God and My Soul
Everything changed
Everything changed
When Texas pastor Zac Allen and his wife, author Jennie Allen, known for her Stuck: The Places We Get Stuck and the God Who Sets Us Free DVD series for women, stumbled across the blog of an American girl named Katie, they had no idea their lives would be changed forever. Katie had given up everything to follow God's call in Uganda.
Inspired by her example, they prayed a prayer that would change their lives, pledging to do "anything" that God desired of them.
They surrendered all that they had, and all that they were ... and asked Him to do with them as He wished.

Hilda Koronel returning to Cannes
It will be a sentimental journey for the actress, toast of the French fest 35 years ago
It has been 35 years since she last walked the red carpet at Cannes, and Filipino actress Hilda Koronel is on cloud nine as she prepares to return to the world's biggest film festival this month for the world premiere of the digitally restored version of Lino Brocka's 1975 masterpiece, "Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag."
Last time Hilda was there, she had gone for another Brocka film, "Insiang," which screened in the Section Parallèlle or Directors' Fortnight in 1978.
"Maynila," restored through the efforts of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) and Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation, will be shown alongside Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "Cleopatra," Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" in 3D, Alain Resnais' "Hiroshima Mon Amour," Patrice Chéreau's "La Rein Margot," Francesco Rosi's "Lucky Luciano" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo," among others, in the esteemed Cannes Classics section.
In an e-mail interview, Hilda, now based in the United States, told the Inquirer: "I'm very proud and excited that 'Maynila' was chosen to be screened with movies like 'Cleopatra' and 'The Last Emperor.' It's a tremendous honor. We should all be proud as Filipinos."
She has made all necessary arrangements to travel to the south of France later this month, with the help of FDCP.
"I'm looking forward to watching 'Maynila' again. It will surely bring back a lot of wonderful memories and I am certain that my husband, who is going with me, will enjoy it very much as well."
Hilda is now married to Filipino-American lawyer Ralph Moore Jr. "He loves watching my old movies, even the ones without subtitles," Hilda said.
Viewing list
Among Ralph's faves are Brocka's "Hayop sa Hayop" and "Angela Markado," Danny Zialcita's "Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan" and "Palabra de Honor," Laurice Guillen's "Tanging Yaman" and Mark Meily's "Crying Ladies." Ralph has also seen Hilda's recent big-screen comeback, Olivia Lamasan's "The Mistress."
"Insiang" is on top of her husband's viewing list, of course. The movie made Hilda the toast of Cannes in 1978. "Going back there will be fun, nerve-wracking and a bit sad," she confessed. In the very least, it will be a sentimental journey.
"I still remember how Lino would help me get ready [for public appearances]," she recounted. "He did my hair for that famous newspaper photo with Farrah Fawcett."
Hilda is referring to the front-page feature in the daily France-Soir, which ran a big photograph of hers beside a smaller pic of Farrah.
"Lino helped put my outfit together as well, with Filipino designer Christian Espiritu," she recounted. "I think the French really loved my white terno, so the photo landed on the front page. The terno was beautiful and elegant—everyone else opted for casual wear, or was mostly undressed!"
Still relevant
She and Lino had traveled to Cannes to drumbeat interest in the film. "Lino was very popular in the whole of Europe, not just in Cannes. He loved screening his films there and they just adored him. He worked hard to promote his films and bring glory not just to himself, but to the country."
Hilda feels strongly about revisiting Cannes, if only to honor her late mentor.
"[This restoration] is important to all of us. The social issues Lino discussed in our film are still relevant today," she said. "I will always be proud to have been part of his cinematic legacy. We do make a lot of great movies, but today's young people are not aware of them."
She hopes that "Maynila" costar Bembol Roco, who is vacationing in the United States, can make it to the festival, too. "I haven't seen him in ages."
She is certain that this will be a trip to remember. "When 'Insiang' went to Cannes, Lino and I secured a place in Philippine cinema history. No one can take that away from me," she said. "Now, 'Maynila' will be screened there … it just warms my heart."

Sarkozy just happens to be the guy sitting in the hot seat now that the socialist policies of every president since Charles de Gaulle have finally taken their toll. Unfortunately for Sarkozy, he's facing re-election in the spring. The French can either re-elect Sarkozy, whom they don't personally like because they find him hyperactive, somewhat grotesque and overly involved in petty matters, or they can do the same thing that's led to France's failure to date. That is, elect the friendly, funny, "aw shucks" Socialist Party candidate who only has personal qualities going for him.
Rather than get softer, Sarkozy needs to use the credit downgrading as an opportunity to take an even harder line in favor of limited government. Stop talking and start swinging the ax like the killer in a bad slasher film. Start by decimating a few levels of French government. Flatten that baby like a crepe. Set the example with the political class and make these so-called elites go out and start real businesses. Have people with kids take financial responsibility for them rather than supporting them from cradle to grave. Limit immigration to those who can contribute economically or professionally as ascertained by a points system like the one in Canada. Those who want to import their entire families from another country can move back there if they're that homesick.
And businesses in France are paying enough taxes, as are the people. The problem is that their taxes aren't sufficient to support the nanny state, so get rid of it. Anyone who doesn't like it can move to Scandinavia, where apparently socialism still "works" for those who love paying exorbitant taxes.
This is France's big chance, its Overton window -- the moment when previously unforeseen possibilities suddenly become possible because of an unexpected and significant event. It's the ultimate shot at setting France on course with a bold new model, not just a rebooted version of an old, failed model. Until that happens and the root of the collapse is addressed, the problem won't begin to disappear.

Budget cuts devastate health care providers
Activists say the cut to therapeutic monitoring is especially detrimental, because patients won't know the effectiveness of expensive cocktail treatments.
"It is very disappointing," said Shannon Wagner, the executive director of Being Alive San Diego. "I think that support services for people living with HIV and AIDS will be dismantled because of the cost of care. I think the effects of not having education programs for people living with HIV and AIDS is also dire."
State officials said Wednesday that the governor was forced to make the cuts because the budget approved by the Assembly wiped out necessary reserves.
"The governor referred to this budget as 'good, bad and ugly.' These unquestionably fall into the category of ugly reductions," said H.D. Palmer, deputy director of the state Department of Finance. "He acted with reluctance, but out of necessity."
Staff writer James P. Sweeney contributed to this report.

|Canada's National Amateur Radio Society
|"We're ALL about Amateur Radio!"
Radio amateurs take pride in the fact that they have a high standard of operating ethics, and are largely self regulating. However, there are cases where the strong arm of Industry Canada may be the only way to resolve a particular situation.
The following questions and answers have been prepared in cooperation with Industry Canada to help Canadian amateurs deal with enforcement cases.
Please do everything possible to resolve a situation peacefully within the amateur community. If however you are faced with a situation requiring action by IC in your area, please read ALL the following questions and answers carefully before approaching your District Offices with a complaint.
Q - What is Industry Canada's mandate to enforce the Radio Regulations?
A - As per paragraph 5(1)(n) of the Radiocommunication Act "the Minister may, taking into account all matters that the Minister considers relevant for ensuring the orderly establishment or modification of radio stations and the orderly development and efficient operation of radiocommunication in Canada, do any other thing necessary for the effective administration of this Act".
Q - How does Industry Canada decide when enforcement is necessary ?
A - SIZE="3">The amateur radio frequency bands are authorized for the use of all amateurs on a shared basis. Therefore, Industry Canada will not become involved in attempting to sort out situations that appear to be personal quarrelling between different groups of amateurs.
Q - What can amateurs do to encourage Industry Canada to take action?
A - SIZE="3">Industry Canada is prepared to institute enforcement action in any situation where it can be demonstrated that there is flagrant and/or repeated abuse of regulations/standards.
Therefore, if amateurs believe compliance action by Industry Canada is required, in order to demonstrate to the department that this is a valuable use of public resources, they should contact the local IC District Office with the following information:
1) distinctly indicate which regulation or standard is not being respected.
2) provide a summary of the measures that have been undertaken to date by the amateur community in an attempt to correct the non-compliant behaviour.
3) provide justification that demonstrates that the situation in question appears to be a flagrant and/or repeated abuse of regulations or standards and therefore it will likely only be corrected through direct intervention by Industry Canada.
Q - Where is the Industry Canada District Office nearest to me?
A - See RIC-66 available on the Industry Canada web site.
Q - How do Industry Canada inspectors enforce the regulations?
A - Radio inspectors may use certain tools such as a "Notice to Appear" or a "Summons" to deal with summary conviction offences to help resolve harmful interference and administrative predicaments expeditiously.
The department's ticketing process, under the Contraventions Act, is another tool that can be considered by the inspector. Both are designed to educate and encourage the accused to comply with the appropriate laws or regulations and, ultimately, act as a penalty for failure to do so.
Tickets may require the payment of fines whose amount depends on the severity of the offence, but can run to hundreds of dollars.
Information about fines can be found on in a document entitled "Administrative Fines" on the Industry Canada web site at:
Q - What is the procedure used by Industry Canada to enforce regulations?
A - Detailed procedures are described in Industry Canada document IPC-3-24-13 entitled "Notice to Appear and Summons for Summary Conviction Offences Contravening the Radiocommunication Act"
A copy of this document in pdf format can be downloaded from the Industry Canada web site at:
Q - It often seems that Industry Canada does not have the resources to deal with amateur violations. Is this a fair assessment of the situation?
A - Industry Canada responds that compliance action is carried out by local District Offices and the time that they can devote to such activities varies according to local resource availability and immediate priorities. As can be imagined, any potential enforcement action, amateur or otherwise, can involve many hours of investigative activity by Industry Canada staff.
Q - Where can I get further information about surveillance and enforcement?
A - Contact the Industry Canada Amateur Radio Service Centre at the following address:

University of Texas Arlington
Reef Fest aims to help save coral reefs
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Media Contact: Sue Stevens
ARLINGTON - Researchers from a University of Texas at Arlington Department of Biology lab that focuses on coral reef biology are organizing a fundraiser for coral reef research and conservation. The event, Reef Fest, is part of a nationwide series designed to raise awareness of the current state of coral reefs and the need to conserve these important ecosystems.
The local Reef Fest will be held from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. Saturday, August 23, at Rahr Brewery, 701 Galveston Ave. in Fort Worth and will feature a concert from four local bands and a raffle of goods and services by area businesses and artists. The event will also provide educational outreach, with exhibits about coral reefs and informational booths from organizations taking steps to involve the public in both coral reef conservation and other environmental issues. There is a $15 cover charge for the band and free beer will be available. All profits from the event will be used to support the Texas Flower Gardens Banks National Marine Sanctuary.
The Reef Fest Fund is an official project of the International Year of the Reef 2008 and is sponsored by organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and the National Coral Reef Institute (NCRI). Originally taking place in South Florida, it has grown with groups like the researchers in UT Arlington's Mydlarz Lab independently organizing events around the country. Visit www.iyor.org for information on the International Year of the Reef.
The Myrdlarz Lab, headed by Assistant Professor Laura D. Mydlarz, is working to characterize how corals fight infections and what effect climate change has on coral disease resistance. The researchers, including post-doctoral associate Laura R. Hunt, who organized the local Reef Fest, graduate student Elizabeth S. McGinty and undergraduates Anh Pham, Jandira Lima, and Sandra Victor work on projects pertaining to coral immunity and disease. The group has just returned from the International Coral Reef Symposium held in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in July.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

... a lovely place to pull over and have ours. We had a 360 degree view. Along with all the blue, blue sky, we had chosen a wonderful stopping place. Continuing on our way on the Wildlife Trail, we stopped at a ranger station and asked about seeing buffalo. He suggested that we drive a mile up the road that was right across from the station (ROCK road!!) and he thought that there were buffalo in the area. As it turned out the rock road wasn't too bad at all, and we ...

It turns out we stopped at a local ranch of a couple from Wisconsin so while the kids played in their big front yard we talked to the retired owners who had lived in Saukville and their relatives who just arrived from Wausau for the upcoming Harley festival at Sturgis which begins next week. ...

My dad had already driven it earlier in the morning and had the buffalo surround his car, so he took us back to that spot and they were still there. There were a bunch of them too. We also saw a cute little deer jumping around in circles in a field, lots more buffalo including a herd running down a hill and then in front of our ...

IMO All The Whey makes some of the best protein on the market for the price, quality, and flavors of what you are purchasing. I started using their Isolates about a year ago and have yet to buy from any other company thus far.

I have never had the Isolate for this flavor, but I recently finished a bag of chocolate peanut butter cup blend and the review above is spot on for it as well. Great mixability, and it might be the best tasting batch of protein I ever had. Great in water and even better in milk. I bought some choc pb cup Dymatize Elite Gourmet protein during the New Year's sale and it doesn't even compare. It's not bad, but it definitely doesn't taste like an awesome snack like the ATW stuff.

Twin Falls Cottages: Less kExpensive than a Time-Share
In addition to the lodge, Twin Falls Resort State Park has 14 secluded cottages available for rent. The photo is of the one we stayed at on our recent visit to Twin Falls.
The cottages, scattered along a heavily wooded ridge, all have stone fireplaces with wood provided, electric heat, and televisions. They come fully equipped for housekeeping with linens, cookware, dishes and utensils. The cabins have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, bath, and a deck overlooking the woods in the back. A hiking trail leads through the woods from the cottage area to the lodge and swimming pool.
I'm not generally one to complain, but our cottage could have been a little better equipped in the cooking department, however we did find the essentials needed to cook one dinner which we enjoyed in our cabin. Also, the hardwood floor could have used a good cleaning and waxing, the furniture could have been a bit more comfortable, and there was a smell of woodsmoke from past fires in the fireplace. Although we found the facilities to be less than we would have desired, we still found them adequate for our two night stay.
I took note of the fact that our rental price was less than the cost of the annual maintainence fee on the last time-share resort Karen and I toured. And there was no initial long-term commitment and no exchange fee. In that regard, we consider state park cabins one of the most overlooked and underrated vacation facilities in America. It could be a great way for a family to enjoy an affordable resort vacation with all the comforts of home - depending on how comfortable your home is.

(AP) NASCAR's penalties against Penske Racing for a failed inspection last month at Texas were unanimously upheld by a three-member appeals board Wednesday.
Roger Penske said he'll appeal to the final level, chief appellate officer John Middlebrook. The former General Motors executive last year reduced penalties against Hendrick Motorsports crew chief Chad Knaus after the initial appeals board upheld his punishment.
Penske declined to discuss much of the case made Wednesday because the team will argue again before Middlebrook. But he's previously said the team was working in a gray area of the rule book when NASCAR confiscated parts from the rear suspensions of the cars for defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano.
NASCAR docked both drivers 25 points, fined the crew chiefs $100,000 each and suspended seven Penske team members.
The appeal was heard by Paul Brooks, former NASCAR senior vice president and president of NASCAR Media Group; Brandon Igdalsky, president of Pocono Raceway; and Dale Pinilis, operator of Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem.
Presenting the case for NASCAR was Sprint Cup Series director John Darby.
Penske had six people on hand for its presentation, which was headed by the team owner. Also present was senior executive Walt Czarnecki, who is listed as the car owner for Logano, team President Tim Cindric, competition director Travis Geisler and crew chiefs Paul Wolfe and Todd Gordon.
Geisler, Wolfe and Gordon are among the seven suspended for the infraction. They were allowed to work at the track while waiting for the appeal to be heard, but it will be up to Middlebrook to decide if they can attend races while waiting for the next phase of the process.
Associated Press
