Portable hookah system and hookah containment device
Disclosed is a hookah containment device that allows a user to smoke a prepared hookah while engaging in foot traffic. A portable hookah system includes a hookah and the hookah containment device tailored to mate with the hookah in a fashion to vertically stabilize the hookah during turbulent locomotion. The hookah containment device includes a sidewall adapted to form an interference fit with a hookah base, or includes within a receiving chamber means for releasably attaching the hookah within the interior of the hookah containment device.
Of the many proud traditions of Ottoman culture, few have achieved the world-wide fame of hookah smoking. Once confined to the Middle East and Near East regions, the hookahs notoriety was invigorated by Napoleons invasion of Egypt and thestream of curious Westerners which followed thereafter. Painters, such as Eugene Delacroix and Jean-Leon Gerome, when depicting Oriental styles typically included a hookah as a symbol of the depicted culture. The hookah was elevated from a regionalcuriosity to a universal symbol of sophistication.
The hookah, which has maintained a constant popularity in the Middle East, presently enjoys in American culture a unique, niched function. Hookah smoking combines community and relaxation into a single event. Rarely does one witness a groupsmokers crowded about a single cigarette, cigar, or pipe. Though hookahs are often designed with a single smoke outlet; the presence of multiple hoses, each capable of simultaneous use, emanating from a single smoking instrument is unique to the hookah. Multiple hose hookahs form the centerpieces of hookah clubs in which hookah smokers gather to unwind and converse with other community members. A hookah combines fashion, art, and function into a single device.
A basic hookah includes a base, a stem, at least one hose with a mouthpiece, and a bowl. The hookah bowl holds the hookah tobacco, frequently "massell." Massell is a mixture of tobacco, molasses, and often a flavor or fruit extract. Themolasses and fruit extract add a substantial amount of moisture to the massell that is missing in conventional tobacco. This added moisture makes massell more sensitive to the elements relative to conventional tobacco; prolonged exposure to airevaporates much of the moisture of massell and reduces its flavor. When properly protected, massell allows a smoker a more recreational, flavored smoke than the tobacco of cigars, cigarettes, pipes, and the like. An experienced hookah smoker will knowto loosely distribute massell into a pile within the hookah bowl to allow heat to evenly circulate through the pile.
The heat that ignites the massell derives from coals positioned above the hookah bowl. The coals and massell preferably never contact one to the other. A common method of placing coals proximate to the massell involves spreading a foil upon thetop of a hookah bowl, punching holes in the foil, and then placing the coals onto the foil. The heat from the lighted coals travels through the holes in the foil to ignite portions of the massell. Particulates from the massell travel in the smokecreated by the ignition down through the hookah bowl into the hookah pipe.
The hookah stem is the body of a hookah and is usually fabricated from brass, tin, or stainless steel. The stem transports the massell smoke from the bowl to the hookah base, which is a cavern containing water. The base of the hookah istypically fabricated of glass or plastic and tends to be the most expressive portion of the hookah, ranging from translucent to wildly-colored. Within the cavern of the hookah base, the massell smoke is cooled by the water within. The cooled massellsmoke then returns to the stem, though not through the same entrance by which the massell smoke enters the base. From the stem, the massell smoke travels through the hose and out of the mouthpiece.
There are presently two prominent versions of hookah structures: the Lebanese style and the Egyptian style. Although the aficionado will explain that there are many differences between the two styles, the practical layman would quickly note theobvious difference: the connection point between the stem and the hookah bowl. The Egyptian style hookah pipe tapers upward into what is generally referred to as a male connection. The Egyptian style hookah bowl includes a female connection whichreceives the pipes male connection. In the Lebanese style hookah the bowl has the tapered male connection and the pipe has the female connection to accept the Lebanese style hookah bowl. In both styles, to allow a more airtight connection a collar isgenerally added to fit around the male connection.
As hookah use increases in prominence, the need to make hookah smoking more amenable to a larger market increases in importance. One of the primary differences between hookahs and other conventional forms of tobacco products involvesportability. The user of a cigar, cigarette, or pipe can travel relatively unhindered while using his choice of tobacco product. A hookah, however, is not generally considered to be a portable instrument. It weighs considerably more than conventionaltobacco products and instruments, has a high profile that contributes to an awkward mechanical balance, is often fabricated of delicate materials, and is often loosely assembled by fit. Therefore there is a need for innovation that allows a hookah to betransported in useable position that adequately protects the hookah while simultaneously providing to a user to the ability to smoke massell from the hookah.
The system of the present invention includes a hookah that is designed to mate with the hookah receiving chamber; i.e. each component is structured to be used with the other. The chamber is adapted to stabilize the hookah of the system throughmating attachments or size. In embodiments of the system where size is utilized to stabilize the hookah, the hookah base includes a size that is approximately equal to the size of the hookah receiving chamber. In embodiments of the system where matingattachments are utilized to stabilize the hookah within the receiving chamber, both the base and the receiving chamber include one or more attachments such as snaps, protrusions, hook-and-loop fasteners, and the like. The system of the present inventionallows a user to prepare a hookah for smoking, and yet be mobile.

Using Your Watercolor Materials
Learning how to use watercolor materials effectively can help you get the most out of watercolor painting. Many people try this art medium because it is relatively easier to master than working with other paint media. Watercolor paints dry very fast, which allows you to travel with your supplies and capture any scene in a short amount of time. Watercolor painting can be a very relaxing hobby, especially if you learn a few useful techniques.
Before you begin your painting, you should spend some time planning how you will execute it. Unlike working with acrylic or oil paints, watercolor paints are used from light to dark. Think about where you would like to have the lightest shades and where you will place the darker ones. Planning your piece doesn't take long and will prevent you from making frustrating mistakes.
Different watercolor materials such as paper and brushes also have different effects depending. The whiteness of the paper you use will be visible through the paint, so it's important to consider how bright you want your painting to be. The brighter the paper, the more brilliant your paint will look. This is great for dramatic pieces, but not if you want to paint a relaxing landscape.
If you are a beginner try larger brushes. You might be tempted to paint with a small brush on a small sheet of paper when you are just starting out. However, having a larger work area can help you develop better skills. You will have more freedom to experiment and you can analyze your work as you go about it. It's much easier to learn using large brushes and big sheets of paper. Once you are comfortable with using the brush to achieve the effect you want, you can easily work on paintings of all different sizes.
Try gripping your brush in different places. The way you hold your brush and the pressure you apply to paper can produce very different results. This way you can learn how to perfect your strokes to achieve the desired effect. You can take a blank sheet of paper and use it to practice, so that you know how to use your brush correctly when you are painting.
Experiment with using your watercolor materials in different ways. The most important thing in mastering watercolor painting is learning how your supplies and watercolor paints respond to different techniques. For example, various colors respond differently to water. Some colors can be very difficult to lighten while others begin to lighten as soon as they come into contact with water. The size of the brush as well as how you hold it also makes a big difference in your work. If you are a beginner, it is highly recommended that you practice as much as you can, so you can learn what techniques work best for you.

Stealing Picasso $31.42 Harry Broome dreams of being a famous painter. And when a sophisticated French beauty buys all the paintings at his first exhibition, he knows he's on his way. But in the art world nothing is as it seems. Before long, to pay his debts and save his reputation, he is trapped in a plot to steal Picasso's Weeping Woman from the National Gallery of Victoria. She is the gallery's greatest acquisition, and when she goes missing the city's many treasure hunters come out to find her: a corrupt tycoon who knew Picasso, a gay escort obsessed with Michael Jackson, a bent barrister, a gang of bikies, a hit man, the gallery director, the Minister for Police. The Weeping Woman is priceless and life is cheap. Stretching from pre-war France to contemporary Australia, with a captivating cast of eccentric characters and a superbly engaging plot, Stealing Picasso tells of an art theft - which is based on a true story - and a forgery and their extraordinary repercussions. |

Mystery of Picasso $25.46 Like a matador confronting a bull, the artist approaches his easel. As he wields his brush, the painting dances into being before our eyes. Pablo Picasso, the most influential artist of the 20th century, is making art, and famous French director Henri-Georges Clouzot (Diabolique, The Wages of Fear) is making a movie. This entirely new kind of art documentary captures the moment and the mystery of creativity; for the film, the master created 20 artworks, ranging from playful black-and-white sketches to widescreen color paintings. Using inks that bled through the paper, Picasso rapidly created fanciful drawings that Clouzot was able to film from the reverse side, capturing their creation in real time. When the artist decided to paint in oils, the filmmaker switched to color film and employed the magic of stop-motion animation. By contract, almost all of these paintings were destroyed when the film was completed. Unavailable for more than a decade, "The Mystery of Picasso" is exhilarating, mesmerizing, and unforgettable; it is simply one of the greatest documentaries on art ever made. The French government agrees; in 1984 it declared the film a national treasure. |

His Most Famous Painting (Impression Sunrise Or Impression, Soleil Levant) - Claude Monet
His "Impression Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant)" is counted among the most famous paintings in the world. Made in 1872, this painting gave the 'Impressionist' movement its name. This oil on canvas painting, measuring 48cm x 63cm (19" x 24 3/8"), gives a view of the Le Havre Harbor in France.
"Impression Sunrise" is, as mentioned above, instrumental in imparting 'Impressionism,' its identity. Although, it was painted somewhere around 1873, it is registered as an 1872 creation. Monet had once explained the title saying, "Landscape is nothing but an impression, and an instantaneous one, hence this label that was given us, by the way because of me. I had sent a thing done in Le Havre, from my window, sun in the mist and a few masts of boats sticking up in the foreground....They asked me for a title for the catalog, it couldn't really be taken for a view of Le Havre, and I said: Put Impression."
The debut exhibition of "Impression Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant)" was held in 1874. Louis Leroy, a critic inspired by the painting's name, wrote a negative review on it in Le Charivari newspaper titled, 'The Exhibition of the Impressionists,' thereby unknowingly christening the movement as 'Impressionist.' "Impression Sunrise" was once stolen in 1985 from the Museum in Paris, Musée Marmottan Monet. It was recovered in 1990 and was again put on display 1991, where it continues to stay until date. Not many references of this theft are available.
Monet was exceptional at both, his creative thoughts as well as his technique. In "Impression Sunrise," he canvassed the sun illuminating at par with the sky. There is no definite lineation involved. The whole picture is a riot of colors, applied with loose brushstrokes to give an 'Impression' of a sunrise. Claude brought the effect with the help of a variety of colors and different color temperatures, instead of exploiting their unique intensity or contrast values. The blurred colors "Impression Sunrise" draw a passage of time in the landscape captured. Monet used oil paints, as they dry slowly and allow the painter to mix and blend colors, while helping attain the required levels of viscosity and dilution on canvas, as and where required. Monet though, did not travel a lot, but whenever he did, he liked to paint in his journey. He claimed that he just painted what he could perceive in nature, which "Impression Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant)" vouched for.
