Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 12
Pony bondage is more awesome than it has any right to be edition. If I could tell you exactly what the appeal of seeing these colorful equines tangled up in ropes is, I would. As it is I would really rather just move on before I blush so hard that my face catches on fire. Which feels like a real possibility right now. Ranging from the silly to the saucy, tonight's master plan to flood the internet with trussed up ponies netted 154 escape artists in training. I know this wasn't the easiest theme in the world, and probably not as imagination sparking as some others have been in the past, but we've managed a pretty impressive turnout nonetheless, I think. Very well done, everypony. I'm clopping... er... clapping with glee. What? What do you want? When you bring your hooves together it makes a 'clop' noise! Sheez.
Moving on. Here's the daily link to the submission guidelines, which you must be sick to death of seeing by this point. Still, better safe than sorry, right? As always, feel free to drop a line at email@example.com if you have any followup questions or concerns that I can handle for you. I read every comment you write for me on the submission gatherer (I love some of the stories you guys tell!), but unfortunately there's really not a whole lot I can do to respond to each of you in the way that I'd like to. If there is a point you need my direct feedback on, please do e-mail it to me even if your picture went up just fine. I'm not dead yet, which means I'm clearly not doing enough to help out!
The Theme of the Day
Draw a pony armed with a bladed weapon. I've been informed by our gracious Overlord that lightsabers are also acceptable, and in a similar vein I'd be more than happy seeing any sort of crazy martial arts ponies you guys want to throw at me. I figure after tonight you'll be all shipped out, so have some soothing action (action, action...) to cleanse your palates. Rock on, everypony.
In a happy medical update to yesterday's whining about my owies, I managed to keep my hoof on ice long enough last night to avoid any major blistering from my adventures of late night cooking, and have since promised myself not to use anything more complicated than a toaster after 1 AM. Coincidentally, tonight's ramblings are brought to you by strawberry poptarts and sparkling lemonade. It's the two great tastes you're not experiencing! Go now! No, wait! Come back and see these ponies first, then go. Trust me, it's completely worth your while. Did you know Phoe Bondage is a meme?

147 here. I'm very unhappy with this one. I didn't have time to vector it and my lineart wasn't all that clean so I figured I do something quick in photoshop. However, I can't draw a strait line to save my life even with a tablet and so it came out quite bad.
I need to give myself enough time to vector this next one. - June 7, 2011 at 12:08 AM
- Muffinsforever said...
140 At least I got in... My computer went derp at 1 and I got into my cheap photoshop elements and slapped the back in in like 15 minutes with alot of fiddling. But I made it so small >.<
As for the blades I had a plan for that one already, don't know how ill do it, but ill do it. - June 7, 2011 at 12:08 AM
- Kentora said...
#70 is definitely my favorite!
Great job once again, everypony! - June 7, 2011 at 12:11 AM
Well, no entry for me today, I guess. I made a bunch of sketches, then spent an hour arranging them into a small comic in Gimp. Then just as I was trying to save and submit it, Gimp decided to freeze and wipe all my work. So it'll be way too late to submit it once I remake it, unfortunately.

I'm really surprised there's no "Pinkie's Epic Yarn" - June 7, 2011 at 12:15 AM
Okay, someone had better write a fic based on #60, or I might have to.
~~BlankFlankBrony - June 7, 2011 at 12:17 AM
There's a lot of great Rainbow/Applejack lasso jokes in here, but #35 is my favorite.
- June 7, 2011 at 12:20 AM
- Da Chi said...
68 is by far the best.
I'm 138 and I submitted less than 15 minutes before the deadline. Someponies really do take their time! - June 7, 2011 at 12:23 AM
- HeatWave said...
#123 here! Man... I can never get my lineart to scan cleanly, and I don't have a tablet. Gotta do things the old fashioned way.
I need to learn this vector thingie... apparently it'll help me clean up my lineart after the fact. - June 7, 2011 at 12:25 AM
- SonicRainboom93 said...
my stupid last post didnt go through i think lol ANYWAYS... number 150 here! :D lol uh.. i submitted it with about 3-4 minutes left to spare i think... idk but yeah i drew my pic in about 4 hours lol so uh.. yeah :D I LOVE ALL OF YOU
- June 7, 2011 at 12:27 AM
Great job, everypony!
It seems I'll have to go back to my old days of drawing weapons! - June 7, 2011 at 12:29 AM
- frith said...
Thank you Phoe! Late but not left behind! ^_^ (# 152) At ten pm local time I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I took a nap. Day after day of the challenge my bodies were getting longer so today it was hard to get it back on model. Those heads are HUGE!
I hope everyone had a lovely Laughter Day. At morning break I unveiled the MLP:FIM cake I'd bought at Loblaws and much cake was consumed. A mini Pinkie Pie I bought for the occasion (Laughter is her Element, or is it the other way around) I gave to our dept. secretary. She has a Pinky Pie personality and just doesn't know it. It took her over two hours to discover Pinky Pie on her desk right under her nose. X^D - June 7, 2011 at 12:30 AM
#139 here!
I'm really bad at drawing ropes (I think). So I drew a whip instead!
And I only had a couple hours, so I tried to stylize with as little work as possible. I think my effort paid off!
All the things I brainstormed earlier today are here! Castlevania, jumprope, tightrope, even a yoyo! I'm the only one who did a whip, though!
Aw sweet, weapons day is next! YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES! - June 7, 2011 at 12:30 AM
#137 (Kooldude) here with my thoughts on the pics.
#9 Woah, pretty cool
#12 Oh no (lol)!
#35 I love their expressions.
#41 I really the style.
#58 Applejack FOREVER! Somepony needs to make this a gif!
#63 *Dons Sunglasses* YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
#63 I loved this!
#68 Awww...sad (although I don't think it would ever happen.)
#70 Ooooohh, another Rarity, yay!
#093 Aww kitty kitty! I like your character choice.
#118 I agree Phoe I love the clop sound :D
#129 Eeyep.
#144 Win. - June 7, 2011 at 12:33 AM

:( I wasn't able to get one done in time. Tried twice, but too TIRED and thought I was cocking it up when apparently I was doing alright but still just didn't finish.
I'll have to do double tonight/tomorrow evening after my exam. - June 7, 2011 at 12:34 AM
- DJ Rainbow Dash said...
I'm still laughing at some of these, hilarious!
favorites in particular:
48 - Morbid, but so funny
68 - Shoulda have known better, AJ.
133 - Bonus points for the DnD crossover...reference...thing.
I sat out yesterday, but maybe I'll think of something for this one. - June 7, 2011 at 12:45 AM
- FoxOfWar said...
#12 here. I guess it's really not Dash's or Trixie's day today, is it?
...now I see an unlikely alliance. Curse these pics, they drive me to more fanfic!
Bladed weapon? This is not gonna be pretty, is it? Nevertheless, has to be done. ;) - June 7, 2011 at 12:51 AM
- Y2kovu said...
#86 here, mane/tail would be better if CS5 hadn't crashed 30 minutes before work ;_;
#91's Trixie must be a DBZ Abridged fan... - June 7, 2011 at 1:00 AM
#142 this time, wasn't sure I'd make it in time. =X Took all day again, drew it up in pencil, scanned, then decided to play around with inking and colouring in Paint.NET.
Doing that one image was involved enough, it gives you new-found respect for those who do it on a regular basis, tell you what.
Also must thank Phoe for switching out my original typo'd submission with the fixed one at the last second, so thanks! =D
Incidentally, how would one go about drawing Phoe? I think I saw a quick description somewhere once but forget where.
Extra liking #41, #60, #67, #68, #73 and #139 today. #81 is so adorable it hurts, and #135 needs to be a fridge magnet or something. - June 7, 2011 at 1:00 AM
- Emerald said...
#11 here. There are way more suggestive pictures here than I thought there would be... well, but it's impossible not to like those.
Now... Ponies with weapons? But... what about the innocence? - June 7, 2011 at 1:03 AM
- Magnet said...
XD Last again at no. 153!
I love #58. That needs to be a gif.
eyup. - June 7, 2011 at 1:17 AM
- Phoe said...
Hey there. Sorry to hear you were given such problems with your piece. I got your late entry, and given the extenuating circumstances decided to toss it up for you. Hope everypony see it - it's very funny!
Figuring out how to remain cutesy and innocent while holding a weapon is just one of the many challenges I'm putting you guys through. I really want to see Lyra and Octavia in a Samurai Champloo style duel using their instruments as weapons, for instance. Would be cool, wouldn't it? - June 7, 2011 at 1:27 AM
Oh good, thank you for adding mine in there even though I was so late with it.
Now I just hope my little mini comic makes sense. I maybe should have included one more panel, but even 3 panels took pretty much all evening. - June 7, 2011 at 1:29 AM
#13 here. Made it very quickly (only used about 5-10 minutes, sorry) and it ended up as a bit confusing one. Pinkie was going to try bungee jumping, but instead she made it a freefall. But she's Pinkie. She will survive! ;)
Lots of great ones, I simply love the way #119 is drawn! - June 7, 2011 at 1:36 AM
#112 reporting in.
Whoever draw #64, you have made my day for today :3 - June 7, 2011 at 1:36 AM
- Mr. Wonko said...
24 here - next time I'll try not to forget Scootaloo's wings. (As my brother pointed out. Whoops.)
Bladed weapon? But I already drew one yesterday... - June 7, 2011 at 1:52 AM
- Smock said...
#30 and #36 are both me, I just had a little fun in paint with the second one, is all. And, it WAS a pony with a rope, so why not submit it? :p
I see #81 had the same idea, that one is awesomely drawn though! - June 7, 2011 at 2:01 AM
@Fox E:
Phoes description was "White Pegasus" as far as I know. The left one in pic 31 is supposed to be her - June 7, 2011 at 2:05 AM
No time to draw yesterday sadly :(
On a totally different note, are the thumbnails not loading for anypony else? For me, the pictures load fine, just most of the thumbnails dont. - June 7, 2011 at 2:13 AM
- FoxOfWar said...
Oh god. The idea just struck me. HARD. I mean, I'm frikken *shivering all over* just thinking about it, and my hands are getting sweaty before I even start drawing.
You didn't see anything. (Yet.) - June 7, 2011 at 2:33 AM
- Interrobang Pie said...
I didn't find any time yesterday.
Also, blades? Hmmmm... HMMMMMM... - June 7, 2011 at 2:48 AM
#74 checking in.
Didn't have much time to do this one yesterday, but I still think it came out pretty cute given the rush. I really need to figure out how AJ's hat works in perspective, though. - June 7, 2011 at 3:14 AM
Hmm, it's tough to think of another blade-related one, since I already did the sword-horn joke last time. Now I kinda wish I'd done something else for the crossover theme.

#78 checking in. A bit of a shoutout to the Brony that did the Wakfu crossover yesterday. They really inspired me!
Great job everypony! - June 7, 2011 at 3:33 AM

I'm surprised by the lack of Trixie compared to Applejack. Nothing wrong with that of course. #70 is still my fav, but these are all pretty good.

number 8, checking in with pinkie pie caught i ribbon xD
lol, 97 xD - June 7, 2011 at 3:57 AM
Trust me guys: this is funny for a day, but when it gets to the point where you try to get your pony fix and you end up being flooded with tiresomely repetitive bondage jokes day in and day out, you'll grow to hate it too.
*member of the forum where Phoe and bondage got tied together* - June 7, 2011 at 4:04 AM
The Fluttersauce was so saucy that I question my sexuality
- June 7, 2011 at 4:13 AM
Oh, man. There are so many fantastic pictures today. This is probably the best Training Grounds so far. I made a list of my favourites, but it included more pictures than it left out. Great job, everypony.

This is really turning into Gokaiger week for me. I think I'll draw Joe today. - June 7, 2011 at 5:01 AM

49 oh, Quagpony. *facepalms, but is laughing too*
62 I'm very happy to see Twist! I think she's an awesome little back-burner pony and you never see her in fan stuff :3
I'm 114 today! Almost didn't make it last night, splitting headache so I didn't even have the patience to even clean up the linework. I tried to make it more playful than naughty but one can infer anything they like ;) Its hard to resist the idea of taming the Dash, and Applejack is probably the only one who could come lose to doing it, heehee! - June 7, 2011 at 6:09 AM

#67 wow. Nopony's going to even see mine next to that.
/in other, horrid news, my laptop is dead. I have no idea how I'll manage to scan/submit my later entries... - June 7, 2011 at 6:15 AM
Stupid deadlines! They made me miss day 11 and now they may make me miss day 12 as well!
At least I can drown my frustration in everyone else's submission because most of them are just too good to stay in a bad mood when you look at them. - June 7, 2011 at 6:19 AM

I don't remember which day I described myself either, but in today's gallery numbers 4 and 31 went the 'draw Phoe' route. You can find a few more reference pictures sprinkled throughout the past couple of days. Have fun! - June 7, 2011 at 8:29 AM

So yes. Bladed weapon happened. Started by an idle, innocent train of thought permanently derailed by remembering a console game I hadn't played in a while - certain game also has a lot of bladed weapons.
Ponies ...and Soul Calibur. This cannot be good, can it? - June 7, 2011 at 8:54 AM

Thank you for the compliment,
With that background I did myself torment.
I thought a little land and a few trees,
Would be easy as a breeze.
But then hours later I did discover,
That I was still drawing just ground cover.
So of backgrounds I will not partake,
Until again I can spend the time they take.

#122 here. I'm really proud of this one.
This is the first colored picture I've done in a while. I usually start drawing in the night, and sometimes I don't have time to color. That and I rather use colored Sharpies (which I don't have D:) instead of colored pencils.
You know I was hoping to see someone draw Paulie from One Piece as a pony. Oh well. - June 7, 2011 at 12:42 PM

Well, mine was SUPPOSED to be a whip.. a rope whip! I know it's far from perfect, but it's my first time drawing anything like that. I'm still proud of the piece!
Now, today's is funky--I've been thinking of a good idea all day but I've finally settled on it. Hopefully I can still make something of a quality at least nearly as good as my recent work even though I had to start late.
Oh, and again, you guys are all amazing. - June 7, 2011 at 4:59 PM

Updated: January 22, 2013
They discovered there are several varieties of hugs. Those include the "side" hug. The "bro" hug where you pat your buddy on the back, and the "linger" hug where you stay a bit longer than you should.

The winner was Kappa Sigma with 35 hugs in 5 minutes. Kappa Alpha had 18.

Welcome to Groupon Nashville! For our inaugural deal, $20 gets you $50 worth of grub and guzzle at Flyte World Dining and Wine, located at 718 Division St.
If mouthwatering food makes your mouth water, the tasty smells of live music will induce euphoric synesthesia. Submerge yourself in an onslaught of sensory satisfaction with today's Groupon: $20 for $40 worth of worldly wines and buttery French flavors at Miro District Food & Drink, a sophisticated eatery nestled on the first floor of the luxurious Adelicia building near Vanderbilt in Midtown Nashville. Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
Bite-sized morsels infiltrate the grown-up table in today's deal, mounting a two-pronged assault that will storm your taste buds with deliciousness.

Today's Groupon gets you $16 worth of lunchtime grub for $8 at Paradise Park downtown. A trailer-park-themed diner is the last thing you'd expect to find in downtown Nashville, but this honkytonk hotspot proves you can't judge a kitchen by its vinyl siding. This Groupon is only good during lunch hours (10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and can't be used toward alcohol.Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
Diners flip their own flapjacks at The Pfunky Griddle, where every oversize table is topped with its own grill. Unlimited ladles of organic five-grain and unbleached white batter sizzle to golden-brown before they're sprinkled with such toppings as coconut flakes, peanut butter, and blueberries. The menu also accommodates special diets with options for gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan batter. Chef-made sandwiches—such as a blue-cheese-and-roast-beef wrap—can also be constructed with gluten-free bread upon request.
If The Pfunky Griddle's menu emphasizes homey comforts, the decor channels the great outdoors. Painted trees and blades of grass adorn the walls, and tangled branches traverse the ceiling, bringing to mind a rugged forest campsite or that time you watered all your houseplants with Muscle Milk. A skylight lets in ample sunshine on a spacious back deck.
Named by rearranging the letters of pasta, tapas are the delicious Spanish rebuttal to Italian cuisine's long-held dinner dominance. Join the fray with today's Groupon to ChaChah. For $25, you'll get $50 worth of tapas and drinks. Sit by the cozy fireplace and cylinder chandelier in the dining room or take up residence beneath the glowing orbs of light along the bar. For lovely views, dine on the enclosed patio amongst handsome pine pillars and glass-paneled walls. Grab your loquacious epicures and gregarious gourmands for an evening of succulent cuisine and imaginative drinks that'll keep you talking all night long, eventually coaxing your enemy into revealing the location of the Icarus Device. Do share your Halloween candy with your parents, because they're just going to take it while you're sleeping anyway.

text: The famous sculptor Jo_cho_ created an image of Amida (still remaining at Byo_do_-in temple in Uji, Japan) of unprecedented elegance and grace. With a round, youthful face, drowsy eyes and shallowly carved drapery, the sculpture conveyed meditative serenity and reassuring calm. The Institute's Amida closely follows Jo_cho_'s prototype. Its surface, now damaged by fire, would have shimmered with a layer of gold. His hands are held in symbolic gestures (mudra): the raised right hand disperses fear and the lowered left hand is open in the gesture of giving or "wish granting."

ST. ALBANS The St. Albans police department says a homeless man was found dead after fire destroyed a small hut on the edge of the Vermont city.
An autopsy is being conducted on the body of 54-year-old Richard Poquette to determine the cause of death, but police say the body had severe burns when it was found late Tuesday afternoon and indications are it was an accidental fire death, which may have been started by a burning candle.
Police were called to a wooded area, about 100 yards from North Main Street, at about 4:10 p.m. Thursday after a caller reported finding a body. Poquettes body was found outside the hut, which had been destroyed by fire and was still smoldering.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Ask Peter Shumlin to track the origins of his fiscal policy, and hell tell you...

Questions asked on nuclear industry role in setting council leader's rise
Last updated at 11:17, Thursday, 10 May 2012
COPELAND Tories are probing reasons why Sellafield had a senior public affairs representative on an independent panel which gave the thumbs-up to borough council leader Elaine Woodburn's £6,000-a-year rise.
The Conservative Association is formally demanding answers to questions surrounding the make up of the three-person independent panel. They were Shirley Williams, Sellafield Ltd's head of public affairs; Whitehaven solicitor Judith Crisp; and John Mackay, retired head at Thornhill School.
But because the council leader's pay increase was linked to her nuclear role, the Tories want to know why Sellafield's operators are represented on the panel which recommended the increase.
One of the questions asked is: "What processes are in place to prevent appointments which may give rise to allegations of bias or the appearance of bias?"
The association says it might refer the issue to the District Auditor if it fails to receive satisfactory answers.
Stephen Haraldsen, Conservative Association chairman, said: "An independent review panel has to be absolutely independent. It is vital for the good running of councils, and to be sure ratepayers get best value, that a council follows a strict and above board process. At a time when trust in politics and politicians is at an all-time low, it is vital that councils do everything they can to be transparent and honest.
"Copeland Council's independent review panel has some questions to answer in the interest of public confidence and good local government."
Coun Haraldsen said: "I don't think it is proper to have a representative of the nuclear industry on any panel which is supposed to be independent given the big decisions coming up. If proper declarations have not been made and due process not followed I will take this further."
The independent review panel's recommendation to give the Labour leader an increase of £6,606, pushing her annual special responsibility allowance up to £25,534, was passed by the council by 27 votes to 11.
The Tories' letter says: "The justification given by the panel for increasing the allowance were based heavily on the role of the leader in decisions relating to the nuclear industry. Therefore it seems highly inappropriate for Sellafield Ltd to be represented on the panel.
"With the possibilities relating to Mox, reprocessing, power generation, breeder reactors, waste disposal and more, the representation on the remuneration panel of a nuclear industry employee seriously calls into question the panel's independence and therefore the independence of its recommendations.
"We believe a panel which was one-third nuclear industry employees... is not independent and in fact borders on self interest."
Six questions have been put to the council:
Is there a written process for the panel to follow when coming to its recommendations? How were the posts advertised and how many people came forward? Who chose the panel and rejected other applicants and on what criteria? What processes are in place to prevent appointments which may give rise to allegations of bias or the appearance of bias? Were any declarations of interest made at any meetings and what were they? And what evidence did the panel take before coming to its most recent recommendations?
Coun Haraldsen says: "We would like to believe that the council followed a strict and above-board process but given Copeland's track record we feel these questions must be asked."
Copeland Council chief executive Paul Walker said: "Recommendations on the remuneration of all Copeland councillors are made by a fully independent remuneration panel.
"This panel is appointed with statutory requirements and any recommendations it makes to councillors are considered and ultimately approved by full council."
Sellafield Ltd said yesterday: "It is inappropriate for us to comment."

Have your say
Lets not forget Tory leader David Moore takes a £6K handout each year for chairing the West Cumbria Site Stakeholder Group, a sum set by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. So whilst the Tories are correct to point out the obvious conflict of interest, they need to learn that when they point the finger there are two fingers pointing back at themselves. The public will only have confidence in local government, regardless of the integrity of Cllr Moore and Cllr Woodburn, when the many dependencies the nuclear industry public affairs machine has set up with local councils and more alarmingly, elected Cllrs on both sides of the political divide are dismantled. This is not an issue about Cllr Woodburn, it is a much bigger issue and one that extends beyond Copeland Borough Council.

If you excluded /home/ray from your remaster, it will not be on your livecd. After installing from your remastered livecd, on first boot the guest account will be deleted and new root password and user set up will be run. This is how it works. If guest was not removed and you were not asked to create a new user account on first boot, you have a corrupted remaster.
mv /home/guest /home/raychown -R ray:ray /home/raymv /var/spool/mail/guest /var/spool/mail/raychown -R ray:ray /var/spool/mail/ray
Well as they say maybe a picture will be worth a thousand words. [ pics omitted]as you can see user is "ray" but group is guest and my home folder is /home/guest instead of /home/ray . when I log into my desktop, I log in with user/ray and ray's password, but when I get to desktop and click on my home folder, I get /home/guest. Clear as mud now, I appreciate any help, I may need to just start over.
mv /home/guest /home/raychown -R ray:ray /home/ray
Thanks as, that seems to have worked for the most part, except that now when I click on my "home" icon on the desktop or taskbar dolphin opens to /home/guest instead of /home/ray. If I click on /root in the left pane,then home, then "ray", I get /home/ray with all the folders intact. How do I change the path to /home /ray? I really appreciate your time on this, Thank you.
well, that was easy enough, now I will wait to see what issues I have with programs that used /home/guest for anything. I just tried digikam and it complained about the "database", I fixed that, but don't know yet what else will complain. I am closer than I was yesterday thanks to As. Thank you As. I think I have another issue with digikam though, I will post that in the software section.
well so far all seems to be in good working order, /home/ray is back and /home/guest has left. everything seems to be working as it should. Thank you As for your invaluable assistance, I could not have done that with out your help . Thank you. I shall mark this solved.

The Outdoor lamps make your garden visible at night. The choice and positioning of the outdoor lamps must be done carefully.
Garden must be beautiful in the hours of darkness. Maybe it runs in front of living room windows, and want, reading a book, you see and what's beyond the window, through the bushes. Or you think to sit on the bench under the lilac, or will guests dined at the kiosk in the garden, and that he did not want these cases to reveal the beauty garden.
In all these situations, the light should be enough – no excess, nor less than necessary. For this reason you need to think very carefully before lighting design scheme. Electrician have to execute, but the gardener has to say necessarily views: he knows how some bushes grow and how often others will be foliage, so it's able to rekindle where would be best to place luminaries.
Most times, the place where land ends and begins grown alley is great for installation of small lamps. They shine and driveway, and surrounding plants. A good suggestion would be to mount the lamps connected to the electricity grid, so that will light the garden whenever you want, even-N series of cloudy days that follow, the solar lights would be too great feat.
Of course, solar outdoor lights are very useful, and even urge you to use them with confidence, but you must be a safe option, especially as in winter and early spring sunlight to charge batteries of the sunlamps fails. In terms of style lamps, the decision is yours. If you want a garden sober, you should use lamps "serious." If you want a garden but relaxed, you are free to spend it with grass various solar lamps that imitate stone BA, BA various animals …
In recent years, the popularity of lighting in gardens has increased dramatically. Whenever I was not impressed as an ordinary space during the day turns to nightfall a spectacle of lights! Installation of lamps in the garden draws us more to admire the landscape, spend more time outdoors, close to home and forget even for a time of concrete in the city.
Types of lighting in pictures
For gardens there are two types of light-light or diffuse spots. Diffused light is spread more widely and decreases in intensity toward the edges. If the illumination spot (focused light) beam is focused on a limited area. This produces a beam of light that highlights a particular plant or group of plants. The effect of light is due to the type of bulb or shade that limits the beam into a lampshade. For a backlight light source is placed behind a tree, a vault or a garden accessory. Thus, the object is out in relief, standing out clearly as an outline projected on a bright background.
Lighting from the bottom up is done by placing the light source at ground level, focused up into the group of plants or accessory. Try to hide the light source (lamp) as objects what to be emphasized. For standard illumination from the bottom up, the distance to the enhancement must be equal to its height. For a more spectacular light source placed in the middle distances.
Lighting from above is obtained using a diffuse or spot light sources mounted directly or obliquely, above the range or accessories. Lamps can be mounted on the wall so that light source is directed to the terrace, or spot him suspended above a tree.
Certainly, to create your own all the games of outdoor lamps that are not only effective, but useful, there are some strict rules must be followed exactly.

by Kelley Armstrong
Random House of Canada | July 24, 2012 | Hardcover
The exciting, page-turning LAST episode of Kelley Armstrong''s acclaimed, bestselling Women of the Otherworld series! Savannah Levine, a young witch of remarkable power and a dangerous pedigree, staggers away from a bomb blast in New Orleans, glad that she''s managed to rescue her half-brother Bryce from the supernatural revolutionaries who''d held him captive. But everyone and everything she holds dear is still at risk. The reveal movement has shaken the Otherworld to its core and the resulting chaos has thinned the boundaries between dimensions, allowing creatures of the deeper realms to break through and wreak havoc on supernaturals but also on innocent humans. Although she''s been temporarily stripped her of her powers, Savannah knows she has a crucial part to play in this war of survival. In fact the fate of her loved ones--of Adam, the friend she hopes will become a lover; of Paige and Lucas, her guardians; of the werewolf Pack and Jaime Vegas; of a pregnant Hope; of her brothers Sean and Bryce--and of the human world rests on her shoulders. If she can find the way and the will to defend them. Only in the final battle will Savannah find out her true capacities, and what love will drive her to do. In 13, Kelley Armstrong brings her powerful and unique saga to a deeply satisfying end: thrilling, surprising and harrowing.

We're Not Going to Origins! And Other Kickstarter News!
Posted on 06-10-13
Cue the Lost Ark theme... Do you see what I see? First, a quick note about Origins. We had been looking forward to seeing you there, but unfortunately we won't be there this year in a booth. Our brother Tim Peaslee will be running demos, so be sure to say hi to him when you're there. We can't do a proper booth this time around because we simply can't spare the labor right now. Why can't we spare the labor? Friday, June 7th, we received two 40ft containers full of Bones! For those of you keeping track at home, those containers were filled with over 470,000 models. We're still looking for the last container to be delivered next week, but we have enough to start shipping now. What's next? We've unloaded the containers (we have the bruises to prove it). We're getting those models organized into our system and firing up our fulfillment line this week. We know we're behind our estimated ship date of March, so we've added a second shift for fulfillment so we can process the packages very nearly 'round the clock. We're doing everything we can to blast through these pledges so you can receive your Bones as quickly as we can manage it. Thanks for your continued patience and support. Where's My Kickstarter Stuff?
Posted on 05-06-13
Time to update and try and answer the question: Where's my stuff?
First, our Canadian customers. During the run of our Kickstarter campaign, we promised that we'd get you your stuff without you being nailed with a bunch of customs fees. To that end, we've had to apply for non-resident importer status to Canada. This way, we absorb the cost of the customs fees, and you get local delivery of your pledge packages. Unfortunately, we're caught in a bureaucratic morass of red tape. We were led to believe that we would be finished with this part of the process in December 2012, but we've been there for months now. Happily, we've received word from our customs broker that we're very close to having our application finalized, and as soon as we have the all clear, you'll start receiving your things. We're terribly sorry for the delay, but this was the only way to do it without saddling you with the import fees. tl;dr: We're stuck in red tape, but the end is near, and we start duty-free shipments to Canada soon. Now, everybody else. You know we've been partnering with a company in China to manufacture your Bones figures. They sent us the first of several staggered shipments for fulfillment: five shipping containers with the Vampire boxed sets. We've received and processed those containers, even renting more storage space to hold it all. We also broke down a number of those vampire boxes to process add-ons that were included within the Vampire box. Then we started fulfillment, and we blasted through several thousand pledges much more quickly than we anticipated. Now we're waiting on shipment two from China. These containers include many of the larger add-ons. We have documentation that we will receive them any day. As soon as we do, we'll continue fulfilling the orders that include the items that arrive in this wave of containers. We didn't expect to go so fast�with the first wave, and China took longer to ship wave two than originally promised. On the bright side, if past performance is any indication, there won't be a huge turnaround time between our receipt of the Bones and shipping them to you. Once we get to your order, our system will send you an email with tracking information for our US customers and a customs confirmation number for our international customers. tl;dr: We've shipped all we can and are waiting for more stuff from China so we can send out the rest. We'll email when we fill your order. There isn't anything we would rather be doing that sending you your stuff, and we will be resuming that process as soon as humanly possible. We appreciate your continued patience and again thank you for your support. Sincerely, Ed Pugh CEO, Reaper Miniatures ReaperCon Only a Week Away!
Posted on 04-11-13
With Reaper Con only a week away, we just wanted to remind you of a few important things.

If you buy the four day pass, you get the Reaper Con swag bag for free! Parking is going to be a little tough this year, so we're encouraging everyone to park at the Hilton and use our shuttle service.

We've got tons of guest sculptors and painters this year, namely: Aaron Lovejoy Alison Bailey Anne Foerster Bob Ridolfi Bobby Jackson Chris Lewis Derek Schubert Gene Van Horne Jason Wiebe Jennifer Haley Jennifer Kaufman Jessica Rich John Bonnot Julie Guthrie Kevin Williams Laszlo Jakusovszky Martin Jones Michael Genet Michael Proctor Nic Daniel Pat Keith Rhonda Bender Sue Wachowski Tim Collier Tre Manor And, special guests: From Hasslefree Miniatures Kev and Sally White.

Posted on 03-20-13
Alyssa Faden over at Torn Armor RPG is running a Kickstarter campaign for a fantasy skirmish board game. Alyssa is a friend of ours. Her company employs some really talented people with excellent pedigrees for fantasy world-building. The artwork is solid, the models are cool, the price is affordable, and the gameplay looks pretty fun.
We liked Torn Worlds enough to throw in some Clockwork Dragons as a stretch goal. First 500 people at the $75 level for Torn Worlds gets one of our Clockwork Dragons thrown in with their pledge. If you missed Julie Guthrie's and Bob Ridolfi's dragon the first time, this could do the trick for you. Even without the dragon, what it comes down to is that we love supporting these indie projects. The more diversity we have in our industry, the more our industry thrives! As they say, "All boats rise with the tide." So we backed their project. If you have a minute or two, go and take a look at the Torn Armor Kickstarter. They're a good group of people with what looks like a fun game on their hands. ReaperCon T-Shirt Art and Figure Are In Hand
Posted on 03-14-13
I'm really excited about this one. Some of you may have already seen her in our preview gallery, but for those who haven't here's our latest ReaperCon Sophie design:
She's been sculpted for us this year by the excellent Derek Schubert. Sophie will be availabe here at ReaperCon, in the swag bag you get for registering, and in our online store for the duration of the con. So, really, there's no good excuse to not get one for yourself. Speaking of Sophie, here's Tim "Talin" Collier's rendition of her for this year: She's going to be on your con t-shirt, if you pre-ordered one. Full color on black. It's pretty cool. And the only way to guarantee one in your size is to pre-register for the con. Last thing: in order to get all the t-shirts printed in time, we're going to be shutting off pre-registration for ReaperCon a couple of weeks. So if you're on the fence about going or about not going and registering just to get your hands on the swag bag and t-shirt, you're running out of time. See you at ReaperCon in a few weeks! Releases, ReaperCon, and Bear With Us!
Posted on 03-04-13
In all the hustle and bustle of getting the ReaperCon Classes online last week, I completely forgot to post a batch of releases here on the front page! You'll find some great monsters in the Dark Heaven release, and some terrific character models in the Pathfinder. Check them out!
Dark Heaven Legends 03645: Kelpies (2) by Patrick Keith ($11.49) 03650: Fire Elemental (Medium) by Bob Ridolfi ($6.99) 03651: Storm Dragon Hatchling by Kevin Williams ($6.49) Pathfinder 60146: Kassata Lewynn by Julie Guthrie ($5.99) 60148: Sandru Vhiski by Derek Schubert ($5.99) 60149: Winter Witch by Patrick Keith ($8.49) 60150: Kaer Maga Duskwarden by Bob Ridolfi ($6.29) I also wanted to take a moment to remind everyone, that even though you guys totally decimated my class supply, we still have pre-registration tickets available for ReaperCon. Pre-registration is the only way to guarantee yourself a shirt in your size as well as one of our famous swag bags. And here's another poorly kept secret about the ReaperCon tickets: if you get one of the tickets, even if you have absolutely no intention of attending, we'll send you swag bag and t-shirt to you when the con is over. Unless you love the thrill of the hunt on eBay, there's no better way to lay your hands on the limited edition con stuff we're offering this year. Last bit of business. We're having an unprecedented surge in internet orders. Seriously. We're buried. This is a good problem to have, but the gang down in the internet fulfilment station, who pride themselves on a 24-48 hour turnaround on orders, are beside themselves. It's taking us up to 7 days to get some orders turned around, emails answered, phone calls returned, that sort of thing. Please bear with us! We've got some new processes working and we're getting caught up as fast as we can. ReaperCon '13 Classes Online
Posted on 02-19-13
Here you go: http://www.reapermini.com/ReaperCon#classes
Classes are online. Peruse them at your leisure. The mad rush for purchasing goes down at 11AM CST this Friday. And as always, don't fret if the class you want sells out quickly (it will). We always reserve two tickets to sell at the door during the Con. |

The Environmental Science minor offers students the opportunity to achieve scientific literacy in the broad field of environmental science which focuses on the complex interactions of humans and the environment.
The Environmental Science minor fosters a sense of place and a sense of social responsibility informed by an understanding of nature, the history of life and humanity, and the complexities of human-environment interactions. The Environmental Science minor complements a wide range of majors, from education, business, and communications to sociology, psychology, history, creative writing, global studies, and the arts. Building on core classes, students choose electives in areas of personal interest and can focus on exploring environmental issues from the perspectives of biology and chemistry, the earth sciences, or health, with many field-based options. Students may focus on marine science by including courses offered by the Marine Studies Consortium. Exciting opportunities for travel study and study abroad to remote tropical environments (Guyana) are also available.
This course provides an interdisciplinary focus on the interactions between humans and the environment. Topics of consideration include an overview of ecosystems; population growth; species extinction and preservation; air, water, and soil pollution and control; agriculture and world food production; and preservation, conservation, and sustainable resource management. Specific case studies will be considered as well as the view of different cultures toward their physical surroundings.
Topics in geochemistry, crystal structure, and the molecular nature of minerals and ores introduce students to the physical nature of soils and rocks. Plate tectonics and continental drift provide a holistic model of the evolution and dynamic nature of the earth's geology and climate. A survey of planetary geology widens this model to include consideration of other planets. A student project is required. This course meets for four hours weekly in order to integrate laboratory experiences.

($80, fiio.com.cn)
We looked previously at FiiO's impressively full-featured E17 (along with its companion piece, the E9 desktop headphone amp). The E10 is a rather different beast; a tiny, minimal, USB-input-only DAC/headphone amp, meant (like the HeadStreamer) for use with a desktop computer. Like the HRT, the E10 is 24/96 compatible; unlike it, it's got a S/PDIF output so you can also use it as a digital format converter to drive another DAC, there's a handy fixed-level analog line out (on 1/8-inch minijack, like the headphone output) and it includes a nice little analog volume pot. There's even a high-low gain switch, as well as a switchable bass boost should you be the sort of person who likes that kind of thing. Basically, it's more of the usual from FiiO — a ton of features and pretty good performance to boot, for very little money
At this price, something has to give, and here it is: Unlike the NuForce and HRT units discussed here, the E10 doesn't use asynchronous USB transfer mode, relying instead on a good old adaptive mode connection. As we said up top, adaptive mode continues to be used in many well-thought of (and even reference-class) devices, so this absolutely shouldn't be cause to dismiss a sub-$80 DAC/amp.
Especially one that sounds as satisfying as this little guy does. To my ear, the E10's a bit warmer sounding than either the HRT or NuForce unit — even without the bass boost engaged (more on that in a second). That said, it's tight in the low end, and smooth on up the frequency spectrum, though perhaps with a little less overall clarity than the NuForce. It's a nice sound for rock and pop music, and if you're looking for extra kick for headphones that already do OK with your computer, this may be enough upgrade for you.
I did find myself needing to switch over to the high gain setting to get good levels out of the Sennheiser HD-650 and both sets of HiFiMan planar magnetic headphones; this made things just a tiny bit more hissy than I'd prefer (listening to Marianne Thorsen and the Trondheim Soloists' recording of Mozart's Violin Concerto no. 4 in D major, for example, there was a bit of haze around the end of unaccompanied violin passages), but the unit is plenty usable for most material. Still, if you're doing a lot of listening to music with quiet passages and you have difficult to drive headphones, you may just need a little more horsepower than the E10 can provide. And the E10 is, mind you, very impressive for the price.
The bass boost toggle is, to my ear, overly broad and boomy (the idea is much better implemented on the more expensive E17, with its adjustable bass and treble controls), and with any sort of dense music in can make things boomy and cluttered rather quickly, especially if you're using the E10 at the high-gain setting. I preferred it in the off position in almost all cases — generally, bass boost seems more useful to me as a feature for out-and-about use. Still, it does have its adherents — and in particular it could see it making a nice complement to noise cancelling headphones, so perhaps it'd be a nice feature if you're using the E10 with such cans to provide music in an office setting.
As some other reviewers have reported, the minijack used on this unit isn't of the most secure design, and when used with headphones with heavier jacks (think a 1/4-inch termination with a 1/8-in adapter, we had some intermittent slippage (the E10 is small and lightweight enough that a thick headphone cable will drag it around your desk). Given the otherwise quite impressive fit and finish of the unit, this is a tad disappointing, though with more minimally cabled headphones you likely won't run into problems. Still, this is enough to be annoying, and hopefully it'll be corrected in future updates to the unit.
If you're curious about upgrading your digital audio setup — say you've picked up a pair of quality headphones recently, and you're finding that the onboard amp in your PC isn't cutting it — there's probably never been a better time to be in the market for a little DAC/headphone amplifier combo. There are dozens and dozens of units available for even the tightest of budgets, with the three units we've just looked at represent some quality choices at a few likely price points. The HRT's a great value if you're comfortable with its software volume control and don't think you'll need a line output or forsee a need to interface with an external DAC.
Should you be interested in something slightly more flexible, the choice between the FiiO and NuForce units is a bit more difficult. The E10 is certainly a good value at it's price point, and featurewise the two devices stack up quite similarly. Sonically I'd give the uDAC-2SE a slight edge — it's a bit cleaner and more refined, but it does cost almost three times as much, and the E10 is a very good sounding unit in its own right (and there are probably headphones that would be well served by the bass boost). Another thing to keep in mind — the E10's fixed-level line out might make sense if you're looking to add a DAC to an older receiver, while the uDAC-2SE, with its variable preamp output, would make a better front end for a desktop system that includes a pair of active speakers. You'll really want to listen to both, I'd say.
And in closing, a portable high-rez geek note: The original uDAC-2 was problematic for me in use with the iPad — sometimes it was recognized, more often than not it was rejected. Obviously I can't blame the device, since it wasn't really designed for that application. Interestingly enough, however, the SE worked with my iPad2/Camera Connector Kit/Tekkeon in-line USB power supply setup from the first try, so as a multipurpose device it's definitely worth a shot if you're the kind of person who could use a mobile high-rez playback option.
I couldn't get either the FiiO or the HeadStreamer working with an iPad and Camera Connector Kit, though others have reported success with the HRT device — and if it did work, this is one situation I in which I could see the volume control paradigm making a lot of sense, since you'd never have to reach into your pocket or bag to adjust output levels while using your iPad (the touchscreen is tactile enough for anybody's needs).
Is the iPad problem you observed with the FiiO and HeadStreamer related to insufficient power and resolved by a USB battery power supply such as the Tekkeon TekCharge MP1550 used in your article from 12/8/11, or did these devices fail even with extra power?
Apologies if that wasn't clear. Unfortunately, they are both unrecognized or rejected by the iPad even with an inline power supply — I had high hopes, but of these three I could only get the NuForce unit to work. This is on an iPad2 with the most recent iOS updates.
Thanks for the clarification. Audio and computer/tablet issues are getting complex (again, I suppose), and it isn't easy, or at least convenient, to audition multiple options, especially when internet purchasing is so predominant and local dealers are disappearing or already long gone. True high end auditions are still possible locally, but I never could afford that category of product anyway, and there isn't much profit margin for brick & mortar dealers selling budget high end items. I'm using Vortexbox and Logitech Media Server (LMS) on a Linux appliance for FLAC files, playing either via VLink/PS Audio Digital Link III in my living room or a Squeezebox Touch/receiver setup in my bedroom. Though I have a large iTunes library, mostly Apple Lossless and accessible wirelessly at home, I don't really use much anymore. An iPad that I need for work is about to enter the mix..., I currently use my Android phone and a laptop or desktop pc to control the LMS. Even without the iPad, I face more OS options than I can stay on top of, from software or hardware compatibility perspectives.
@MBerk and @chemrat my iPad2 on iOs5 works flawlessly with Fiio E10 with:
1) External power supply Duracell Pocket charger ($20)
2) 4 port USB hub ($6) http://www.iogear.com/product/GUH285/
3) USB Y cable for external HD ($6)
And it sounds Amazingly sweet! Better than with my MBP.
