.40-65 Winchester.; this old thumper is equally at home in lever actions and single-shots.
This renaissance has been a boon in some ways, a curse in others. The single-shot version of the cartridge is distinctly different than the original; bullets cast for this purpose are generally not usable in the 1886, nor is the reloading data. On the positive side, top-quality brass is readily available from Starline.
Here we will deal only with the challenge of getting ammunition that shoots in an 1886. First, what are the problems?
The major one is the requirements of lever actions with tubular magazines. Cartridges must be a certain length, and no longer or shorter, in order to feed and eject properly. The bullets must have Hat or round noses to ensure they do not ignite the primer in front under recoil. And bullets must be firmly crimped, which means the length requirement makes cannelure location critical.
The factory load for the .40-65 Winchester (also known as the .40-60 Marlin but not to be confused with die .40-60 Winchester which is a distinctly different cartridge) used a 260-grain bullet, and reloaders for 1886s should stick with that weight, at least to begin with.
The first problem you are likely to encounter is a difference between bore diameter and chamber dimensions.
Because the .40-65 began life as a black-powder cartridge firing soft lead bullets, the rifle depended on the "bumping" action of black-powder ignition to expand the diameter of the bullet before it entered the bullet, to engage the rifling. So a smaller-diameter bullet was loaded and the chamber so fitted.
If the bullet does not engage the rifling, you will get poor accuracy at best, keyholing at worst.
Smokeless powder does not bump a bullet, lead or otherwise. The obvious answer would be to use a larger-diameter bullet, but this is not always possible because the chamber may not accept it.
There are various solutions to the problem. One is to stick with loads of Unique and soft bullets. Unique does emulate the effect of black powder sufficiently to bump a bullet if it does not require too much expansion. Another solution is to find some,406-diameter bullets with a hollow base, similar to a modified Minieball. These will expand ahead of any powder to engage the rifling.
LOADS FOR THE .40-65 WINCHESTER Bullet Bullet Powder Starting Max. Source Weight Load (gr.) Velocity (gr.) (fps) Lead 260 Trail Boss 11.0 1,122 Wieland (Hayley) Lead 260 IMR 4198 23.0 1.113 *COTW Lead 260 Accurate 24.0 1,353 Accurate 5744 Arms Lead 260 Unique 14.0 1,464 Wieland Lead 260 Hodgdon 40.0 1,624 Wieland 4895 Lead 260 IMR 3031 44.0 1,959 COTW *Cartridges of the World by Frank C. Barnes
Although it is very popular with the long-range black-powder target crowd, their rendition of the .40-65 is radically different than Winchester's original. Bore diameter is .408-.410 inch rather than .406 inch, rifling twist is much faster, and bullets weigh from 330 to 400 grains rather than 260. The bullets often have a sharper nose than I would like to have resting against a primer, and the crimping groove is in the wrong place. Loading data (where available for smokeless powders) is simply not adaptable to the above-listed demands of a lever action.
It may be possible to find cast bullets with gas checks to allow higher velocities for hunting, but I have not seen any. Nor have I seen molds and gas checks available that would allow you to cast your own.
Something else to keep in mind: If you decided to embark on an odyssey of load development with custom molds and the like, factory sights on an 1886 are adjustable only so far. Increase velocity by too much and you quickly run out of adjustment room, necessitating a sight revamp. Stray very far from Winchester's original specifications for this rifle and cartridge and the obstacles mount up quickly.
For a 260-grain cast bullet, die best powders I have found are Unique, Accurate's 5744, IMR Trail Boss, IMR 4198 and 3031, and H4895. Each fills a unique niche with this cartridge.
Unique, as mentioned above, can (within limits) bump a soft bullet, and it provides velocity in the 1,200 to 1,500 fps range.
Accurate 5744 is an all-arounder, easy to use and ignite, requiring no filler and giving midrange velocities.
IMR's Trail Boss is a bulky powder intended for high-volume production of Cowboy Action loads. It fills the case, delivers moderate velocities and provides a lot of fun shooting.
IMR 4198 has been recommended for decades and is still worth experimenting with as you look for the right load for your rifle. It begins with very low velocities.
And speaking of velocity, there is great variation in measured velocities in individual rifles, with velocity delivered from my 1886 varying by as much as 500 fps from published data. Loading for an 1886 in .40-65 gives you a taste of what life was like for handloaders in the early days of smokeless powder. It's an adventure.
Finally, H4895 and IMR 3031 are extruded powders that will give the .40-65 as much velocity as it can take, if you want to load it for big game. With open sights and its looping trajectory, the .40-65 is a 150-yard deer cartridge at best, but that big, soft 260-grain bullet is a very reliable killer.
WARNING: The loads shown here are safe only in the guns for which they were developed. Neither the author nor InterMedia Outdoors Inc. assumes any liability for accidents or injury resulting from the use or misuse of this data.

Car rear-ended at Montpelier roundabout
MONTPELIER A female driver was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after her car was rear-ended by another vehicle, which fled the scene, at the U.S. Route 2 roundabout, city police said.
The woman, Susan Shontelle-Smith, of East Montpelier, was driving a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta to work around 6:20 a.m. when a vehicle crashed into her rear bumper and then fled, police said. She was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center after reporting back pain, police said. A nursing supervisor at the hospital later said she was treated and released.
The other vehicle is believed to be a two-tone or dark station wagon, police said. The male driver fled in the direction of Barre and Berlin, police said.
According to police, the woman was yielding to traffic in the roundabout at the time of the crash.

Data shows far more people are prosecuted under the country's anti-gay law than previously thought
Nearly 600 LGBTI people have been arrested in India since the Supreme Court recriminalized gay sex in December 2013, according to Home Ministry statistics.
As of October, there were 778 registered cases and 587 arrests under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which punishes same-sex relations with up to life imprisonment.
However, the numbers are thought to be much higher as some states gave incomplete data, while others, including Karnataka and West Bengal, did not submit at all.
'Why don't you just become un-gay?'
Despite protesting India's anti-gay law, marchers at New Delhi Pride managed to keep their sense of humour.
SORTEDD TV asked attendees some of the worst questions about being gay but got some of the best responses.
India's LGBTI community have shown they are not prepared to just disappear quietly since the country's colonial era sodomy law was reinstated by the Supreme Court, with hundreds marching yesterday in the capital, New Delhi
Hundreds of LGBTI Indians and their allies took to the streets of New Delhi on Sunday – the first time the capital city has seen a gay pride march since the 1861 colonial era Section 377 anti-sodomy law was reinstated.
Reports estimate that between 400 and 700 marched in the city of 22 million people, waving garlands of multi-colored balloons and rainbow flags, chanting 'freedom!' and 'I'm gay, that's OK!'
Group of transgender women held off an armed mob then cleaned up after
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised a group of transgender women who have been cleaning the streets of east Delhi where riots have been taking place.
The media has reported that the 15 women have been clearing stones and glass shards and giving brooms to residents.
Clashes between Hindus and Muslims broke out on Diwali for unknown reasons in the Trilokpuri area of the capital.
Modi tweeted, 'Good effort by Laila Shah & her friends towards Clean India.
'Such efforts are a big strength for Swachh Bharat Mission!'
They threatened to strip if the rioters did not turn back
A group of 15 transgender women held off a mob armed with swords and stones in Delhi by threatening to strip.
Clashes between Hindus and Muslims broke out on Diwali for unknown reasons in the Trilokpuri area of east Delhi.
The women stood at the entrance to their block and told the rioters that they would take off their clothes if they did not turn back.
Indian transgender women, or hijras, often use the same tactic to coerce people into giving them a few coins.
Transgender students in the Indian capital also qualify for the 25% school quota for disadvantaged children
Transgender children in New Delhi now qualify as 'disadvantaged' and are eligible for free education at public schools.
Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung said transgender students belonged to the 'disadvantaged category' under the Right to Education Act and were therefore eligible for 25% reservation under the economically weaker section and disadvantaged students for admission.
Earlier in the Games, Daley took silver in the 10m platform pairs
United Kingdom's out diver Tom Daley took gold today (2 August) in the Commonwealth Games' 10m platform.
'GOLD!!!' he wrote on Facebook, under his picture holding the Glasgow medal.
According to the BBC, the 20-year-old scored 516.55 to keep the title he won in Delhi in 2010.
Malaysia's Ooi Tze Liang took silver with a score of 433.70; Vincent Riendeau, from Canada, was awarded bronze with 429.25.
A gang of seven men who filmed themselves having sex with a doctor and then blackmailed him over it have been charged under India's reinstated colonial era sodomy law
Seven young men in the Indian city of Bangalore may have become the first to be charged over having gay sex since India's Supreme Court reinstated Section 377 of the country's Criminal Code.
Section 377 punished sexual acts that go 'against the order of nature,' and the law was struck down by the High Court of Delhi in 2009 – only to be reinstated in December of last year by the Supreme Court.
Well known gay supporters including filmmaker Onir have withdrawn their support of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for failing include its support of decriminalizing same-sex relations
The 17-month-old Aam Admi Party (AAP) was widely expected to state its support for the decriminalization of Section 377 in its much-awaited manifesto which was finally released last week.
The party's failure to do so in the party's 26-page manifesto has led to several prominent gay activists expressing their disappointment and anger.
In what is being called the last chance to legalize the lives of over 40 million people, Supreme Court will hear activists' plea after they recriminalized homosexuality last year
India's Supreme Court has agreed to reconsider the law criminalizing homosexuality today (3 April).
The Naz Foundation, a HIV and LGBTI rights charity, filed a curative petition calling on the Supreme Court to 'correct' its verdict from last year.
In December 2013, the Supreme Court recriminalized homosexuality – overturning the landmark 2009 Delhi High Court ruling that said the colonial era law banning homosexuality was discriminatory and should not be a crime.
Activists are calling on India's Supreme Court to 'correct' the verdict that led to the 'worst event to happen in gay rights in recent memory'
India's government is facing a fresh new legal challenge on its gay sex ban.
Naz Foundation, a HIV and LGBTI rights charity, filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court calling on it to 'correct' its verdict.
In December 2013, the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 2009 Delhi High Court ruling that said the colonial era law banning homosexuality was discriminatory and should not be a crime.
As parliament has refused to try and amend the ruling themselves, a curative petition is the last option as the final appeal in the legal process.
The Aam Aadmi Party will put the legalization of homosexuality at the top of its election manifesto as it seeks to win its first seats in the Indian Parliament and break into national politics
India's fledgling Aam Aadmi Party is betting that championing the rights of women and minorities and fighting against corruption will be winning issues for voters as the party seeks to elect its first lawmakers in the nation's parliament.
Aam Aadmi was established only 18 months ago but won 28 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Legislative Assembly in 2013 – making them the second largest party in the National Capital Territory of Delhi (the Indian equivalent of Washington DC) and allowing them to form a minority government with the Indian National Congress Party.
The former chief justice responsible for the landmark judgement in 2009 says the criminalization of gay sex in effect 'offend(s) the dignity of a person'
Homosexuality is neither a disease, nor is it punishable under any penal laws, Justice Ajit Prakash Shah, who authored the judgment that decriminalized homosexuality as chief justice of the Delhi High Court in 2009, said on Friday.
The Delhi High Court's historic judgement which decriminalized gay sex was overturned by the Supreme Court on December 11, 2013. The bench ruled that it is for Parliament and not the court to repeal section 377 of the Indian Penal Code.
Some 5,000 people turned out for the first LGBT pride march in the country held after the Supreme Court in December reinstated a colonial-era law that criminalises gay sex
It was a record turnout for Mumbai's seventh gay pride parade where some 5,000 people marched from August Kranti Marg to Girgaum Chowpatty on Saturday afternoon, according to organisers.
Pallav Patankar, co-organiser of the parade and director of HIV services at Humsafar Trust, a Mumbai-based LGBT community organisation, told Gay Star News that "Mumbai has woken up to the fact that it has LGBTcitizens" and that members of the LGBT community are now more "hopeful and willing to fight it out by interfacing with politicians and speaking about queer rights" than before.
The Indian Supreme Court has refused to sack four Indian Government ministers for criticizing its recriminalization of homosexuality in the South Asian nation but has criticized them for criticizing it
The Indian Supreme Court has refused to sack four Indian Government lawmakers from their ministries for criticizing its decision to recriminalize homosexuality in India.
LGBT rights groups to file a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission of India as local police refuses to investigate the incident
It was a New Year vacation gone horribly bad for Delhi-based transgender activist Rudrani Chettri and her two friends. On New Year's Eve, the trio were in Shimla, a popular hill station destination in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, when Chettri was allegedly approached by a beat constable – a low ranking police officer – who tried to molest her. When she objected and resisted, she was beaten up by the officer as were her two friends who had tried to intervene. Her injuries are not known to be serious.
If 2013 was marked by setbacks for LGBTI rights, what can we expect from 2014?
LGBTI activists in many parts of the world will look back on 2013 as one of the worst years in memory for the cause of equal rights. In countries as far apart as Uganda and India, Russia and Australia, organizations and human rights defenders have been trying to assess the damage and work out new strategies to make 2014 a year of progress rather than retreat.
Many of the worst blows came in the closing weeks of 2013. In a long-awaited decision, the Indian Supreme Court effectively re-criminalized homosexuality, overturning an earlier ruling in Delhi.
Naz Foundation is seeking a stay on the Supreme Court's judgment
The NGO that drove the Delhi High Court to allow consensual adult gay sex in 2009 is now taking on the Indian Supreme Court.
Naz Foundation, an NGO committed to bringing down HIV, filed on Tuesday a review petition in the Supreme Court against its recent ruling that set aside the lower court's order of decriminalizing homosexuality.
The Delhi High Court judge who legalized homosexuality in India in 2009 has spoken out against the Supreme Court ruling that overturned his decision, saying he feels deeply sad for India's LGBTI community
Former Delhi High Court judge AP Shah who legalized homosexuality in India in 2009 has spoken of his disappointment at the decision by two Supreme Court justices to overturn his decision.
'My first feeling was deep sadness about those people, the LGBT community,' Shah, who is now India's Law Commission chairman, said during a interview on CNN India on Sunday.
'I was disappointed … Given the subject matter of the appeal, I thought that our views would prevail.'
Local Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jain and Christian chiefs say the court prevents India from 'going on to the path of destruction'
In a rare display of unity, six leaders of different religious hues in India have released a joint statement to commend the apex court's decision to reaffirm the country's colonial anti-sodomy law, and warn against any repeal in violation of eastern culture.
Goverment is calling on the two Supreme Court judges, who ruled the colonial-era law was still valid, to reconsider their views
India's government has told the Supreme Court to review their ruling after they shocked the world by recriminalizing gay sex.
The government filed a petition today (20 December), saying it believed the ruling was 'violative of the principle of equality'.
The Congress-led government insisted they wanted an 'open hearing on the matter'.
Gay sex was made legal in 2009 when Delhi's High Court ruled Section 377, a colonial era law criminalizing intercourse 'against the order of nature', was an infringement of human rights.
The controversial penal code 377 was reinstated in India last week and protestors worldwide came out in force to show their disapproval on Sunday
It is a week since India's Supreme Court reinstated section 377 of the penal code.
Overnight they made 17% of the world's gay population into criminals again. And, because it punishes 'unnatural' sex, they forced even straight people to only have intercourse in the missionary position or risk a jail term.
The court's decision has been met with outrage around the world, with LGBTI equality groups and public figures gay and straight lining up to condemn it.
And on Sunday (15 December) protests took place worldwide under the name 'Global Day of Rage.'

DARPA Director Arati Prabhakar: "We're not going to have much of a future...if we don't use innovation to change that cost equation."
Defense Department leaders who are worried about significant budget cuts and the accompanying uncertainties about the military's future are certain of one thing: They need more and better technology to make their long-term plans viable.
"There are areas where our adversaries will overcome our current technology overmatch, and we can adjust to that," said Lt. Gen. Keith Walker, deputy commanding general for futures and director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center, at the Defense One Summit in Washington on Nov. 14. "And then there are areas [looking toward] 2030 and 2040 that we need to adjust for just how different it will be."
Science and technology are at the heart of the future of defense, but they do not always receive consistent funding. During more than a decade of war, change has come through adaptation facilitated by the Pentagon's checkbook. But without the wartime flow of money, innovation must take over as a driver for change, Walker said.
In the Air Force, that will mean more reliance on drone programs and a smaller, more agile force, said Eric Fanning, acting secretary of the Air Force. Fanning said another round of sequestration could result in cutting as many as 25,000 people from the Air Force ranks and shrinking its fleet by 550 aircraft.
"We need to increase [spending on] technology; we need to focus on making drones more survivable for contested environments," Fanning said. "A lot of people think that as you draw down your armed forces, you can draw down your agility...but really in a small force, you need to be able to move them around and have more agility."
At the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, where some of the military's cutting-edge science and technologies are developed, the pressure to do more with less creates opportunities for innovation but also demands a look at broader defense policy.
"DARPA is not immune" to the uncertainty of sequestration, said DARPA Director Arati Prabhakar. "I think the really big issue is the need to fundamentally rethink the cost of the national security equation. We're not going to have much of a future...if we don't use innovation to change that cost equation."
Prabhakar highlighted work being done to support troops in the field, including the development and fielding of mobile apps that speed the delivery of data for a more complete operational picture. In recent years, much of DARPA's work has centered on current conflicts, but by its nature, the agency is poised for more forward-looking efforts.
"Some of it is what we would think of as conventional requirements, working to get that capability to the warfighter as fast as possible," she said. "Some of it is looking into [the next generation] and stepping through to what's on the other side. We have to continue to push the technology frontier. That is literally our job."

My third son, Jonathan, is a high school junior. Darn smart kid, he's getting all sorts of daily mail from colleges all over the US. Good ones, great ones, many I've never heard of.
Piles of college mail arrive every day, all offering the same thing. Smiling students — sitting under trees, playing Frisbee on The Quad, attentively following a fascinating lecture in a small-classroom environment, challenging them to achieve more at their school. Higher Education has its own tired cliches, just like the legal profession's columns, gavels, handshakes, skylines, and smiling lawyers.
Here are two of the mailers that arrived in today's pile:
Which one interested you? Today, for the very first time, something grabbed my attention. The one below, an oversized postcard from The College of St Benedict / St John's University.
Finally, a school that understands that they're in the business of Marketing, not just Education.
I'm not going to notice how highly ranked you are, or what your faculty-to-student ratio is, or how beautiful your campus is — until you grab my attention and tell me a story.
Here's the front of the postcard:
Crazy, right? College classes on a raft?
I'll bet you'd like to flip it over and see what this is, why they're floating in the middle of nowhere. How they got ON that raft – did they swim there?
Good marketing tells a story. It grabs your attention, intrigues you, separates itself from the pack, then tells you a compelling narrative. It makes you want to learn more. It makes you remember them. And that's hard.
But that's when it works. Someone at St Benedict knows what they're doing. They knew their first challenge is not getting thrown out with that day's junk mail. And on that score alone, this mailer is a big success.
They have an entire section dedicated to Raft U. It's a great hook. I like these guys. I like this school. But I didn't ten minutes ago. Now I feel like I know something about them, something I like.When you go to the website, the raft is not on the home page, which is a shame, but a quick search turns up a bunch of links to "Raft U." Click here for the link. Or go here to take the tour. The online banner ad is here in the margin.
How often do actually they hold classes on this raft? I'm guessing the answer is "Almost never." But that's not the point. The point is, I wouldn't have looked at St Benedict's mailer until they forced me to.
Does YOUR firm's marketing grab your audience's attention? Force them to read your website?

Update - Jonathan just showed me two more oversized postcards that grabbed his attention, a clever two-part series from Kenyon College, below. One has an illustration of Kenyon alumnus Paul Newman, with his story on the reverse, and another caricature of Albert Einstein, which has been personalized with Jonathan's name in the headline. Nice job, Kenyon.

Summer's New Wave: When You Reach the Final Page of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Don't Despair: There's a Tidal Wave of Other Noteworthy Books Coming out This Summer. Keep Cool with These 47 Picks
Article excerpt
That master chronicler of New York's sexually indiscreet bourgeoisie, Candace Bushnell, plays to her strengths in Trading Up (July). This time, the Sex and the City author portrays the shopping and dating habits of one Janey Wilcox, an upwardly mobile lingerie model whose taste for expensive clothes and wealthy men leads to her downfall--and a reassessment of her priorities.
* The three thirtysomething heroines of Jane Green's Babyville (May) grapple with something scarier than singlehood: motherhood. Julia wants a kid, but her boyfriend doesn't; careerist Maeve has no plans for her uterus, but a fling leaves her pregnant; and married Samantha finds that her baby boy is almost too much to handle.
* In The Other Woman (May), Eric Jerome Dickey's latest meditation on fidelity and betrayal, a young man and woman struggle to stitch their marriage back together after both of them have affairs.
* Like Jesse Ventura, wrestler Mick Foley has ambitions that don't involve smackdowns of leotard-clad opponents. Tietam Brown (July), Foley's raw debut novel, is the tale of a troubled high school student who must deal with the problems foisted upon him by a reckless father.
* Margaret Atwood is back with Oryx and Crake (May), a tightly plotted futuristic tale of survivors struggling to get by in a world devastated by environmental and scientific catastrophe.
PLUS Alisa Valdes--Rodriguez, The Dirty Girls Social Club (May; see review, page 82); Cristina Garcia, Monkey Hunting (May; see review, page 82); Suzan-Lori Parks, Getting Mother's Body (May; see review, page 78); Amanda Green, Family Trust (May); Elinor Lipman, The Pursuit of Alice Thrift (June; see review, page 70); Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill (July); Joyce Carol Oates, The Tattooed Girl (May); Douglas Coupland, Hey Nostradamus! (July)
Ashecliffe Hospital, the setting for much of the action in Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island (May), is a strange place indeed: A barefoot woman escapes from a locked room; a shadowy group may be conducting secret psychiatric experiments; and someone is using cryptic codes to communicate clues to U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels--who may be hiding some secrets of his own.
* Stephanie Plum, Janet Evanovich's wisecracking bounty hunter, returns in To the Nines (July). In pursuit of her latest quarry, Plum heads to Las Vegas, where she must evade three mobsters who want her dead.
* In Clive Cussler's White Death (June), written with Paul Kemprecos, supersleuth Kurt Austin and his pal Joe Zavala take to the seas to fight a sinister corporation.
* Fletch author Gregory McDonald returns with Flynn's World (June), his first Inspector Flynn novel in almost two decades. The irrepressible Boston police inspector tries to avoid getting fired while protecting a professor.
* Andrea Camilleri brings back Inspector Montalbano for The Snack Thief (May), in which Italy's Philip Marlowe attempts to solve two murders and a mysterious disappearance.
PLUS Lee Child, Persuader (April); Tony Hillerman, The Sinister Pig (May); James Patterson, The Lake House (June); Ted Bell, Hawke (June); Janette Turner Hospital, Due Preparations for the Plague (July); Walter Mosley, Fear Itself (July)
For his latest book, the Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly worked as a caddy for some great golfers, including David Duval and Jill McGill, and some not-so-greats, including Deepak Chopra and Donald Trump. Who's Your Caddy? Looping for the Great, Near Great and Reprobates of Golf (May) is a hilarious report straight from the clubhouse.
* If your favorite sports nut runs out of things to debate, The Mad Dog 100: The One Hundred Greatest Sports Arguments of AU Time (May) by Chris Russo with Allen St. John will serve as the perfect inspiration.
* In Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game (June), Michael Lewis explores the nefarious influence of cash in professional sports. …

Rebel (Sketchbook) Huge Update December 26th!
Hey everyone,
I've been planning on putting up a sketchbook here for a while just to get feedback on progress. I'm constantly sketching, or, trying to get used to it. I started off my artistic career by not sketching enough. I went right to the final. Bad idea. Now I can't sketch very well at the prime of my time, so I've been sitting down and sketching like you wouldn't believe. I know that a good sketch ultimately means a better finish. So...here's to hoping I can get used to it.
Here's some recent sketchdumping. I think it should be fitting to start a sketchbook with sketches, right?
I'll be updating with works in progress and the like. Let's hope I don't abandon it...hum. ;P

Welcome. At least to the sb section
Nice studies. Keep doing them!
I'm not very fond of your colouring. Try not to save all of the lines from your sketches when colouring. As in this one http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...InTwilight.jpg
btw. I think you doubleposted, might want to get that fixed

A current work-in-progress. Big mechanical hand on fire ftw!
Any tips?
May 28th, 2006 #12
It's obviously in a very early stage but one thing I think you could of done was given it a much more, I guess "exciting", perspective. Think about how they might of shot this scene in a movie. As it is now it has a middle ground and a background, but no real foreground.
Might be a bit late to change anything but eh, something to gnaw on for the future.
May 28th, 2006 #13
Wow, beautiful stuff, love the emotion of those paints. As for the WIP I agree w/ snowfall, It needs something in the forground, maybe a big piece of scrap metal in bottm left or right?
May 28th, 2006 #14Originally Posted by Snowsfall
I would agree with you 100% if I wasn't a lazy bastard
I just might add something in the foreground, you're right. To balance it out. Thanks a lot.

great pencil rendering, especially that cloth study at the very beginning.
I agree with the crits already provided
Have you tried creating many images to express an emotion/feeling/vibe more than a physical concept?

Not much new, except my tablet. I recently switched from a 4X5 wacom graphire to a 12X12 wacom intuos2. Lineart has been no problem recently, but coloring on the other hand has been.
This is a practice run with it, there's still lots more to the picture, so it's a WIP.

I am in a 'wait and see' mode and prefer to allow it to play out and see where it goes. For some, any thing short of Daniel Bryan being the WWE World Champion won't work."
WWE Using Legends: "According to recent internet speculation who ISN'T going to wrestle at WM30? The speculated list of those old timers returning to wrestle at WM30 in Nola and those returning to the Royal Rumble is somewhat comical. WWE needs to use old school/veteran stars to draw eyes to the TV and sell tickets/PPV's and to then facilitate young stars getting the 'rub' or benefiting by the number of new viewers that tune in to a given show. It's not rocket science but it is about advancing young talents who are sticking around.""
Kurt Angle Returning to WWE: "Because I was asked on Twitter, etc I'd love to see Kurt Angle finish out his career in WWE with a select number of high level matches and a Hall of Fame Induction. That could be another high level attraction at WM31."

Violence against women and girls appears all too often in headlines across the world. But along with the cases that make the news are many thousands of other incidents occurring every day, on every continent, and in every country. According to the World Health Organization, gender-based violence kills as many women between the ages of 15 and 44 as does cancer. Its toll on women's health surpasses that of traffic accidents and malaria combined.

Decomissioned a ship purchased via token...didn't know I couldn't reclaim

[quote=MattMiracle]You do realize that they are on a holiday break right ....[quote]
And that is why i'm trying to make it not out of hand, but keep getting flamed for it......
I DID cancel my sub because of this, but I will likely resub if/when I get the ship back. The delay is frustrating, but the amount of flames coming my way is completely uncalled for. The response I have gotten for daring to post my issue on the forum I think has actually made me MORE upset than the actual issue.
I'm trying to be patient, but getting flamed for airing a grievance is making it difficult.
I do agree there needs to be more "warning" when dismissing ships or anything else that you will have to "buy back" to reclaim. I could see this more like the DOff missions where it states that the mission may remove a DOff from your roster (Extreme, Dismiss, or Execute missions).
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck. You can always come back after 1/17 and play for free (keep that in mind)
Thank you.
I really never intended this issue to start a flame war, but it has on the small scale in here, and in the forum of my fleet. I really don't think i'm being unreasonable here, asking for my item back. I dont want free cpoints. I don't want another unrestricted token to do what I wish. I don't want free stuff. I just want my original item back.
Cancelling my sub and leaving the game may seem a bit drastic, but that's not 100% this issue but rather a culmination of many issues.

Amazing cottages on the beach. Fantastic place to stay!
5 on January 21, 2015
This is a very special place that quickly takes the city out of one's nerves and supplants one gently in to a state of relaxation and serenity with sounds of light ocean breeze, melodic sounds of surf and birdsong. We stayed in bungalow 4 (furtherest from the restaurant) and had as much privacy as we wanted, yet were only steps away from nightly entertainment, great food and drink. Five nights in any one location normally is the longest we want to stay; Lava Lava is now the exception as five nights is not near enough. Staff will pamper, the bungalow is thoughtfully planned and equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the outdoor shower is an absolute indulgence for the senses and soul. Quality abounds and mother nature beyond expectation takes care of the rest. We cannot wait to return ~

We stayed in the cottage furthest away from the restaurant and it was the most private and secluded. Tucked away in the Kiawi trees and beach goers (public beach) tended to not set up in front of this cottage as they did in the 1st too. Plus we were further away from the nightly music.... which was pleasant, but not so loud. HUGE outdoor shower,, very private and the linens in the bed were first class. Each evening at 5pm, we were delivered a small appetizer and cocktail for the both of us, and they supplied a complimentary fruit and banana bread in the evening for next morning. You are REALLY just steps from the ocean. We Paddle boarded every day...one day twice. Swimming was Awesome, there is an abundance of coral, turtles and fish to snorkel over. I would return here again and have highly recommended if to my friends.

Imagine waking to breakfast in bed (that was left in your fridge), drinking Kona coffee & watching outriggers paddle by from your own beach front cottage steps from the sea! Unbelievable charm in every detail from the outdoor shower area to wifi, pillow choices, evening hors d'oeurves & breakfast fruit delivered to the "hale" each day. We swam with turtles & a manta ray right in front of the restaurant! Gorgeous beach walk in either direction with many photo ops! We sat on our own lanai each evening drinking our Gilligan's Girl & Huggo's Mai Tais listening to great, live music overlooking the entire bay! The restaurant right on the water with an unbelievable menu is outstanding. Staff is well trained and professional but also engaging. Truly a magical experience not to be missed! Stayed an extra night! Hated to leave......
4.6 on November 06, 2014
We stayed for two nights in the Hale Nalu Cottage and truly enjoyed ourselves. The cottages are steps from the water and right down the beach from the Lava Lava Restaurant and Bar. The cottage was clean and pleasant, and the early afternoon snack and early evening appetizers were a wonderful extra perk. The option of the indoor shower or the completely private and enclosed outdoor shower was a great touch. Staff were pleasant and friendly. The blue tooth speaker in the room was great for us to hook up our personal music players, and the live music in the evenings from the restaurant was very enjoyable. Kings and Queens Shops were in comfortable walking distance, allowing for shopping and other eating selections. Sunsets, the sound of the waves, birds in the trees, all blended to provide a fabulous experience. We will return!
5 on August 06, 2014
This location was outstanding. We enjoyed the outdoor shower so you had a true tropical experience. The entire staff, check in, housekeeping, wait staff and managers were so helpful, kind and fun! The bed linens were dreamy. The pupus were good and something always different. A perfect place to relax so close to the beach. We will be back for sure!
4.6 on January 26, 2013
Enjoyed the stay. The only thing I would suggest is a routine daily cleaning by staff of rooms for new towels, etc.
4.6 on September 15, 2012
Relaxing and beautiful cottages. My family loved spending time on the outside lanai of Hale Nalu. The view of the ocean was breath taking. We also enjoyed the happy hour drinks and pupu that was personally brought to out cottage. It was a nice touch.

Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
eh letdown why? its gonna have specs more like a computer and plenty of ram and power i dont see why its a letdown.. ps3 was a letdown with insane low memory even back then...
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
It just doesn't seem like a full generational leap for some reason for me. It seems more like Wii to Wii U to me for some reason - maybe because games currently look so good on the PS3, IMO.
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
Be positive!
At least now when they port console games to PC, it won't take as long, and will also be more compatible.
The PS4 is pretty darn close to my desktop PC. :P
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
I don't understand this either. Sony focused on showing games instead of the HW and some people think, that it was a letdown.
Not only did they look great and were actually running at 720p/1080p and not sub 720p like most of the games right now, but you could see the advancements in physics and scale of the whole world around. Not to mention they didn't even show all of them.
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
Barely keeping up with current gen PC's doesn't seem worth it to me?
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
In a closed environment like a console affords there are no constraints imposed by resource hungry OS's or API's. Look at what is being produced on the PS3 and 360 almost 10 years into their life cycle, it's amazing. And this time around they have really got the balance right in terms of CPU\GPU and the way it is designed to work as one big computational cluster should the dev require it is way out there! It is a pure gaming box in a way that no PC could ever be given the current technology.
Looking at the specs for the PS4 it is just a developers wet dream. I find nothing in there to be disappointed about.
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
See, I look at Bioshock vs Bioshock infinite, and I can see the frame rate demands are a bit too much for current consoles, but it's not the leap that PS3 was over PS2, and again, that wasn't the leap that PS2 was over PS1...
Is it just me or do the returns we get every generation seem to become limited? Consoles are good enough for most styles of gameplay and their threat is from mobile or even gaming on demand services rather than each other.
This is bad news for the enthusiast and hardware markets, but great news for gamers. Take a look at sites like NVNEWS. Even before the summer blowout sale (lol, that's officially what I'm calling last summer), this site was becoming more and more of a hangout and less of a place for technical discussion. I've seen that all around the web. Yes, there are still active communities out there, but they certainly don't seem to be growing. This is because "good enough" hardware has become a commodity. You can build a really good system for cheap that plays pretty much anything with amazing graphics and very playable frame rates. The same is obviously applying to console systems looking at the Wii U and the PS4.
But, some of the best games that I've played recently haven't even been 3d or pushing the edge on graphics. I'm LOVING Mark of the Ninja. It's just fantastic. I played through both Shank games before that. And Bastion not long before that. On the other side, the wife and I DO both really like Boarderlands 2 and Dead Island. They are both fun, have a ton of depth, and look quite nice to boot.
Yay for talking about games at NVNEWS!
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
Ray Kurzwiel writes about how the law of diminishing returns and the law of accelerated returns are actually complimentary. All the way back to punch card machines a technology has appeared, accelerated hit a wall, only to be replaced by a new technology within a decade.
I suspect we're there with silicon. That or, in a world with finite resources that chooses to invest in yesterdays fuels rather than tomorrow's computers like the car will become 3-4% more efficient every year, leading to smaller, lighter devices year after year
The most likely result is we're heading towards the uncanny valley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley
Where things get so close to real it starts makes us feel revulsion towards the character. The simpler the character, the easier it is to like. Mario = easy to like. Max Payne, takes a little more work. The cast of GTA V takes a massive budget and years of effort.
My younger sister is 15, and watches other people commentating on people driving tractors and trucks together online. Maybe as I edge closer to 30 gaming has changed, and the concentration in the gaming market is because
1) I only have time to buy and play 3 or 4 games a year
2) Kids of today like f*cking weird sh*t
Either way. Bioshock infinite looks awesome. PS4, not so much. I spend most of my time on Fifa 13.
Re: Playstation 4 = Complete let down!
Playstation 4 is expected to be an average performance PC at best.
The Playstation GPU is expected to have a similar power with a Radeon 78xx series card while the AMD CPU is nothing that spectacular either

FCC revives emergency communications plan
By John Dunbar
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission approved a new framework for the creation of a nationwide emergency communications network Thursday amid concerns that the ongoing economic crisis may make it difficult to attract investors.
This is the agency's second attempt to create a set of rules for the network, which would use public airwaves and private money. The first attempt flopped earlier this year when it failed to attract a bidder.
The new framework includes more detail and makes the plan more attractive to private companies in several areas.
The proposed network would be used by police, firefighters and other emergency crews responding to disasters or terrorist attacks.
The basic concept is unchanged.
The agency would auction a swath of airwaves - made available thanks to the transition to digital broadcasting - to a private bidder. That spectrum would be combined with a roughly equal portion of airwaves controlled by a public safety trust.
The private investor would build a wireless network and lease access to emergency responders while selling wireless service to commercial users for profit.
In March, a similar plan failed to attract a minimum bid of $1.3 billion. Potential investors said the proposal was too vague and too risky to serve as the basis of a multibillion-dollar investment.
Ideally, a new network will help solve the problem of public safety organizations not being able to communicate with one another. It also would avail emergency personnel of many of the advances in wireless technology that are accessible to commercial users.
The FCC says a national network could cost between $6 billion and $7 billion, but private sector estimates are more than double that amount. Construction of such a network would be years away even with FCC approval.
To make the plan more appealing to investors, the agency would reduce the minimum bid for a national license by nearly half and relax requirements on how quickly the bidder must construct its network.
The plan also allows bids on regional licenses rather than requiring only a single, national license.
The FCC could vote on final rules by the end of the year with an auction taking place sometime in mid-to-late 2009.
