Nice studies, particularly like the "Jessica" life drawing - I'd love to try something like that it looks great. Keep rockin' =)
awesome stuff man - really good to see you pounding away! I think your Austen-shapes (is this the official term for them now? it should be!) are a great application of the theory and the sketches of people on location are a really good start - looking forward to seeing more of them!
i admire your persistence p_sage. you're a very hard-working individual and it is all paying off. your technical understanding of anatomy is quite profound as well. i haven't been studying too much lately but you're making me want to get back into gear :3

Hey, p sage. Awesome sketchbook here and I love your dedication. Like everyone else, I think the Jennifer picture is terrific.
I'm also liking your studies...after seeing your straight line studies, I found myself trying to do the same thing haha. Haven't done them in a few weeks, but I think I'll start doing it everyday.
Great sketchbook.

"We make our own fortunes and we call them fate" - Benjamin Disraeli
Wow, man the volume of work you're putting it really solid.
Great technique and craftsmanship on that Asaro head.
I really love the pages of puns/stream of consciousness stuff you've been doing.
It really shows you are keeping the creative juices flowing freely. Also they
all have a nice technique...great texture and solidity.
Couple points on your 'form gestures'. I have to say, your effort is phenominal,
but I'm really afraid you're going to do yourself some harm:
1. I would really argue against repeatedly drawing the same form from the same
angle / point of view. I don't think it helps you to understand the forms at all.
Instead, draw a chosen simple geometric solid from many different angles. Start
with a symmetrical form, like a cube, to improve your ability for freehanding
foreshortened proportions. Eventually, the forms should just exist in your mind,
and you won't even need to put them on paper.
2. By repeatedly drawing the same shapes over and over all you're really doing is
developing muscle memory. That is a problem though, because, in a given one of
these forms, at most ONE of those lines is correct
the other 30-40 lines are not correct and that means you are pretty mush just rein-
forcing innacuracy rather than accuracy.
In general, you tend to use a LOT of overlapping lines when sketching. When trying to
develop ideas this isn't so bad, but when practicing...its a problem
Take your time, try to get each line in one stroke. If you miss, try a second line
on top of it. If this one is off, start again with a new form. Concentrate and force
yourself to GO SLOWLY.
Think (feel) about each line, each line is as important as a word in a sentence, or a
chord in a song. You can use a lot of them if you need to, but each one should have
good reason for being there.
Your life drawings are looking great. Especially 'Nandy'. Very confident.
BTW, Some good practice for improving line control is to do pages of just practice lines.
You did something like that earlier...with a page of all lines going paralell...try this:
put down a few tick marks randomly on a page. Try to connect them all to each other
with freehand straight lines. if you hit the mark, get out your ruler and check how
straight your line was (maybe draw a ruled line in a different color to make it obvious).
Anyways man, kudos, you're working like a mofo, just stop now and then to make sure
you're going in the right direction.
P.S. Bridgman seems to me more about design than construction...his forms aren't always
3D and don't always come together in a coherent meaningful whole.
For construction I would go with Vilppu and his various talented disciples.

I know it's p sage's sketchbook, but I really enjoyed what you wrote BludHund because it speaks outside the boundaries of this particular sketchbook. As for p sage, where are the updates you crazy fellow?
A lot of study this week. Realization that 3D forms/shapes are the key. Maybe that's intuitive to most of you; but I'm finding that being able to "feel out" 3D forms in my brain and see them on paper is the key to drawing overall.
Now when talking about 3D shapes, I'm not talking about a "head" or named body parts per se; but something you could visualize as a Maya wireframe. This is discussed a lot in many places; but it really is key. How do you grasp forms?
I started off trying some of Scott Robertson's techniques
They may bare fruit at some point; but I figure there's a more intuitive way.
That's the overture. On with the show, cut the lights.
Figure drawing Wednesday was kind of fail; I did try to start seeing the forms. We had a sweet standing short pose that for some reason didn't ring up with me. I started over and got this far
Then the long pose which was disappointing. The problem was I kept having trouble getting her blocked in. The pose was very diagonal, and I kept using those instead of horizontals & verticals. Once I "hallucinated" a vertical from her neck down one side of her breast, I was able to block in. The values aren't good; but I was kind of happy with the forms in her midsection. Neck too long
Saturday was much better. Focus was on trying to see forms and measuring when needed, using only horizontals and verticals, of course.
She has a fairly large midsection; the ribcage I was able to get mostly by feeling out the form. Same with the torso/pelvis. Not as much measurement needed. Much easier. Face still gave me trouble.
So I pursued structure in different ways. From my head
a structural study of a drawing from Tite Kubo
And also through master studies, which took up the lion's share of my time this week.
Tried to take ThomasM's advice and study people from right on this site. What a great idea--the reason being that the work is contemporary and so is the media and subject matter. Studying the guys from the renaissance is great and all; but finding structural pencil sketches from many of them is tough. Leonardo may be an exception.
But before going that route, I wanted to clap my new pal Georgie on the back and follow his lead.
I know people think of Bridgman as anatomy guy; but I think he's more of a "form" and structure man. Studying his figures closely, you begin to feel the volumes... which is exciting, to say the least, for someone who is starved for 3D shape/form.
A study from TheGnoll
Also did some studies from the How to draw Comics the Marvel Way book--mostly because I used it a lot at a younger age and could never get satisfactory results. I learned to always use action lines when drawing super heroes.. the first study is leaning back.
Quick sketch (2 min)
And some stuff drawn on the train; some from observation, some from my mind. Much of it flat and not volumetric (yet).
All of this in pursuit of form. That's my focus until it is solid as granite in my mind for now. So prepare to see more Bridgmangs and possibly Gnoll or other studies of awesome CAers
Sycra Thank you. It's a nice tool that has yet to be fully exploited.
Kerah Those studies are dip pen practice; trying to join lines from the previous line. For control, concentration, etc.
TheGnoll Thank you my brother, I'm studying from the best (you)
prsnsweeney Hey man, thanks. The Cintiq is primed for some new projects.
andres333 Awesome to hear you say that, because your SB is one of the most interesting out there. Your ideas about form intrigue me, too.
AustenFM Thank you buddy. The stickers are holding up great, and they look great too. Hope your Etsy storefront and the burger joint idea work out.
Invalid User Thank you my friend. Very kind thoughts.
Vritra Flattered you would think so; your work is very good.
Jephyr X Thanks man. I do software (MS Silverlight/Business apps). Pays really well. The Cintiq is great.... as you can imagine, better than a tablet you don't put direct marks on. I keep having to remind myself not to try and make "clever" strokes like on the Intuos... and just "draw" on the surface. Works much better that way
Velocity Kendall
Marian Rowling Thank you Marian.
Danny_K, AlexTooth Thanks guys.
strybjorn Austen shapes they are, hehe. Thank you! I'm flattered you'd visit my humble dumping grounds.
teapo Thank you. Anatomy is something I've studied off and on, but don't believe I know it that well yet. It will all look better once shapes are rock solid in my mind.
AdrianNagorski Thank you!
bish0p2004 Thanks for swinging by, dude.
Raffix Damn straight there will be more Thank you!
Ven S Thanks.
Icecold I will treat it like a princess made of glass. Thank you for the visit!
ThomasM Yeah! Thank you for being an inspiration. I won't outdo you but maybe we can pace each other. Cheers!
BludHund First off, thank you for such a thorough treatment and careful critique.
Your suggestion about cubes is a good one; I'll go a step further and add "3D chest shape" to that, because that's one of the things I'm tackling next (from Bammes).
About the correct lines/muscle memory: I'm not just running these drawings through my arms and disconnecting the brain. Even with the spheres, I do try and do a single line that means a single thing. Each line in a sphere gesture is one thing. I'm always concentrating on an aspect to improve (proportion, line weight, etc). It's more about the sum of the activities for me.
I do overuse lines when drawing, and it's something I'm working on. I've realized that lines that don't clarify confuse. But it's a process, and I'm happy to work on it bit by bit.
The Nandy drawing was actually "sculpted" mostly from soft vine charcoal and a kneaded eraser.
I would have to disagree that his forms aren't 3D, or at least I would like to see forms that aren't ... because what I've noticed through study is that he doesn't make random marks. Usually there's a tick or a dash that will give you the information you need to see the form. I've been pulling apart his figure drawings this way, and finding nothing but structure. The mistakes I've made are mine, either not being careful enough in observation or getting too dark with a value (need to make sure my pen tip isn't gobbed up with ink!)
I'm thinking of going back to Vilppu at some point; but not at the moment. I found his methods unfruitful in my last attempts with him... there was no attempt at teaching proportion or measuring, which is something I believe any Vilppu student needs before starting with him.
Again, thanks.
Kerah I do weekly updates only (usually), which gives more time to do actual drawing and less time following up and posting. Thanks again, man. Jephyr has some good ideas for the first PCG group challenge.
I will visit each of your books in the next day or two... thanks again everyone.
Off to wrap ze brains around forms again
Thinking connects desire with creation.
How good are you?
The Road to Perdition
Solid update there. The Buscema study looks good, I recognised it right away. If I'd have to give a crit at this point, it would be that don't get caught up in the rendering process too soon. I know that once you get the feel for hatching, you feel like doing it all the time. Bu right now, I think, getting the underlying forms would be more important. If you can draw well, the hatching will eventually fall into place; the reverse process is a little more difficult.
Anyway, keep working hard. Pleasure to drop by.
Nice update Mr. Sage! The Bridgman is well executed, quite effective in black ink, that's some genuine eye-candy right there. keep that eye-candy coming!
Hey Sage well done with the diagonal life drawing pose. I know I struggle every time with this so I have a fair appreciation of how challenging it can be. It's funny how easily my brain gets confused just because I'm dealing with a diagonal. Nice weight and form on the mid section of the second pose. I can really feel the weight of her.
Glad you've found your way to Scott Robertson's stuff, it will be interesting to see what you make of it.
I can see you doing these shapes and not quite incorporating them into your life drawing. Hopefully you will with the Bridgman. It's tough applying what you've learnt into real life. I think the next life drawing session is going to be interesting.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
Wow your figures are gorgeous! Very 3D - I suppose that's because of all your focus on shape and form instead of line alone? Keep up the great work!
I agree with Marian - its a difficult task which you've handled well. I like the train sketches, I know how hard they can be with the movement of the train, but its a perfect time to practice and I do it a lot myself

"We make our own fortunes and we call them fate" - Benjamin Disraeli
Your studies are looking great, and I'm definitely seeing the improvement. Keep up the excellent work!
Your bridgman studies are shining through quite well, pleased to see some humor added there too
You know, I'm regressing a little back to practice on very fundamental 3D shapes to get a better grasp of things I'm doing. I skipped that step, and maybe it's THAT important.
You seem to have a pretty good grasp on anatomy and your forms are coming along very well as well, one thing i noticed in an ample ammount of your figures is that their hips tend to look a little weird.. I can't really explain why and I could be wrong. Oh well, keep it up
I love these peeps.
Wow! I really like the direction of your recent postings...moving well into form and figure...and of course in your meticulous study style (meant to be taken as a compliment!). That's interesting to think of form as a wire-frame. I see others doing that here with their line drwings...I sure it helps with visualization. Your life drawings & Bridgeman studies look great! (I just bought Bridgman's complete myself). And those Gnoll studies are sweet...love that style! I have both the Marvel books and should go back and work through them. They're all true masters at movement and perspective!! Digging that train sketch! Need to get out and do some street studies myself!!! All in all...great post...your sb is exploding man!!
Enjoy that Cintique!!

Another good week; learned a lot. Picked up an extra model session Thursday nights (gesture/short pose)... so you will start seeing more drawings.
Also picked up and tried a lead holder... I like it much better than traditional wooden pencils and fine-point mechanical pencils. Leads are much sturdier overall.
Good night Wednesday... Frederick is a good model. My approach is evolving; not as much measuring, more judging via 3D shape. Getting easier to nail proportions (xcept for his head that one time XD)
Thursday night; got there late, first time. All quick poses. First two are 10 minutes, last one was 3 minutes.
Need a smaller pad (not a board)... there are art-desks in that room, not easels & horses... made the process clunky. Haven't done these for a while. Phew. Only a couple were worth posting... the rest were bad. I will post the bad ones from next week (promise).
Liz drawing was good, too. Had to concentrate as usual... began seeing the shapes. The drawing is smaller than I usually do... the head is only about an inch by an inch. Was happy that the face looked human (mouth slightly askew)... but eyes great. Also happy about the general shapes and the drawing in general. Learned something.
Kay that's the figures for the week. One page of Bridgmang
Also started a WIP/fanart piece that I LOST THE ORIGINAL SOURCE FILE FOR The "sai" file is gone forever; luckily I had dumped out a psd before the computer shut down because of low battery. This version isn't as cleaned up as the other.
The design is all mine; conceived of it from the original flat Sinistar arcade game sprite (1982). Color coming.
Mind stuff. I've been searching high and low for shapes... for 3D forms... for a way to get my brain to install Maya or something. Kingkostas called it turning his hands "into 3D scanners". It is a hard search, but I'm making good progress.
I've been consulting everything I know how and looking for help and references everywhere. Finally today, a piece of the puzzle dropped in.
And what came out was this
Yep... I kept having trouble drawing the Bammes chest shape... too complicated! So I moved down to the David Finch "3d Vest"... easier, but still hard to conceive of. Basically, though, if I use the 3D lasso idea, I can get my mind to start feeling out the mass. YES! I've found the tool, now I must practice until my bones break
I've also been drawing stuff on the side I can't show, but may eventually be able to. Plus I started work full time this week
As kostas says... gotta "keep up"
Vritra Thanks man. You're probably right about the hatching; I just use it as a tool to help wrap brain around the forms. I need to be more careful. Thank you.
Invalid User Cheers matey!
Marian Rowling Yeah there are bits & bobs from Scott Robertson's stuff that helped me get a better handle on chest shapes this week. Not directly, but it was like the grease that got the wheel moving... lol. You're doing very well in your SB, btw. Nice hard work and progress.
Black Spot You're right it's tough; but we keep doing it because we're compelled to. The shapes are the right way; my heart feels that fact, and the sooner the brain gets the message, the sooner the real fun will start. Thank you!
lohes Thank you. Your book is still young, and yet very inspiring. Keep working as hard as you can!
ThomasM You're right, Thom. The train was bouncing, and turning. Definitely ups your concentration. Thank ya.
Sycra Thank you!
Kerah You're dang right it's important Well, just try them. Look at what kingkostas has done with them. He was as obsessed with them as I am (maybe moreso) and his stuff looks so solid and awesome as a result.
Ludic It's probably more study that is needed on the hips. Thank you for the critique.
Jephyr Hey man thank you. It's been a fun ride; luckily my brain keeps finding ways to pry open the mysteries, or I'd get some serious ulcers
Gotta start ramping up my jester mojo here... no excuses. Thanks again bro-ingham.
Kristoff Sweet! Good idea to push my values; thank you!
CRYPT Cheers.
kdiegert Check out kingkostas' thread if you like methodical. That guy is blowing up for real. Thanks man.

Loop Trolley project threatened by federal lawsuitThursday, 31 October 2013 03:33 Published in Local News
There's more trouble for the much-delayed Loop Trolley project. A federal lawsuit filed Tuesday aims to derail the $43 million dollar project on the grounds that the transportation development district set up to fund it is unconstitutional.
The lawsuit claims that giving nonresident property owners votes based on acreage owned violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Residents were given a single vote.
Construction of the streetcar line between the University City Library and the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park is already more than a year behind schedule and the Federal Transit Administration has warned that the area could lose the $22 million "urban circulator" grant it was awarded in 2010. Developers say that would doom the project.
The suit names the Loop Trolley Transportation Development District, the Loop Trolley Company, the Metro Transit Agency, the cities of St. Louis and University City, St. Louis County and the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission.
Pakistan: 3 percent of drone deaths were civiliansThursday, 31 October 2013 02:39 Published in National News
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Pakistani government said Wednesday that 3 percent of 2,227 people killed in U.S. drone strikes since 2008 were civilians, a surprisingly low figure that sparked criticism from groups that have investigated deaths from the attacks.
The number, which was provided by the Ministry of Defense to the Senate, is much lower than past government calculations and estimates by independent organizations that have gone as high as 300. The ministry said 317 drone strikes have killed 2,160 Islamic militants and 67 civilians since 2008.
The attacks, which mainly target suspected Islamic militants near the northwestern border with Afghanistan, are widely unpopular in Pakistan because they are viewed as violating the country's sovereignty and killing too many civilians. The Pakistani government regularly criticizes the drone program in public, even though it is known to have secretly supported at least some of the strikes in the past.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif pressed President Barack Obama to end the attacks in a visit to the White House last week, but the U.S. considers the attacks vital to its battle against al-Qaida and the Taliban and gave no indication it was willing to abandon them.
The latest strike occurred around midnight Wednesday, when missiles destroyed a vehicle in Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal area, a major militant sanctuary, Pakistani intelligence officials said. No one was killed in the attack, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
Defense Ministry officials could not be reached for comment on their civilian casualty figure, and the statement posted on the Senate's website did not give any indication why the number was so much lower than past government calculations and outside estimates.
A U.N. expert investigating drone strikes, Ben Emmerson, said earlier this month that the Pakistani Foreign Ministry told him that at least 400 civilians have been killed by the attacks in the country since they started in 2004.
Emmerson called on the government to explain the apparent discrepancy, saying the figures provided by the Foreign Ministry since 2004 indicated a much higher percentage of civilian casualties.
"If the true figures for civilian deaths are significantly lower, then it is important that this should now be made clear, and the apparent discrepancy explained," Emmerson said in an email.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, based in London, has estimated that drones have killed at least 300 civilians in Pakistan since 2008, while the Washington-based New America Foundation put the figure at 185. These estimates are often compiled based on media reports about the attacks.
Pakistan's overall death toll is lower than some other totals, although not to the same degree as its figure for civilians. The New America Foundation registered 2,651 people killed in the same period, while the Long War Journal website has 2,493.
The danger of traveling to the remote tribal region targeted by the strikes makes it difficult to compile an accurate number of civilian casualties.
The U.S. rarely speaks publicly about the CIA-run drone program in Pakistan because it is classified. But some American officials have insisted that the strikes have killed very few civilians and that estimates from the Pakistani government and independent organizations are exaggerated.
Amnesty International called on the U.S. to investigate reports of civilians killed and wounded by drone strikes in Pakistan in a report released earlier this month that provided new details about the alleged victims of the attacks, including a 68-year-old woman killed while farming with her grandchildren.
Mamana Bibi's grandchildren told the London-based rights group that she was killed by missile fire on Oct. 24, 2012, as she was collecting vegetables in a family field in North Waziristan. Bibi's relatives testified before members of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday.
The Amnesty report also cited witnesses as saying that a volley of missiles hit a tent where 18 men with no links to militant groups were eating after work, then a second struck those who came to help the wounded on July 6, 2012 in North Waziristan. Pakistani intelligence officials at the time identified the dead as suspected militants.
In its latest statement, the Pakistani government said 21 civilians were killed in 2008, nine in 2009, two in 2010 and 35 in 2011. But it insisted no civilians have been killed since then.
Amnesty researcher Mustafa Qadri said he was skeptical about the government figures because it conflicted with their research and indicated a failure of the state to adequately investigate alleged civilian casualties.
The London-based human rights group, Reprieve, called the government's civilian casualty figures inaccurate, based on higher numbers it said were submitted to the Peshawar High Court by the top official in North Waziristan earlier this year.
An Associated Press study in early 2012 of 10 of the deadliest drone strikes in North Waziristan over the preceding 18 months found that of at least 194 people killed in the attacks, about 70 percent — at least 138 — were militants. The remaining 56 were either civilians or tribal police, and 38 of them were killed in a single strike.
The Interior Ministry also said Wednesday that "terrorist" attacks have killed 12,404 people and wounded 26,881 others since 2002, although these figures were disputed by some senators. The government has been battling an insurgency by the Pakistani Taliban, which seeks to topple the country's democratic system and impose Islamic law. It was not clear if the figure involved only attacks on civilians, or also attacks on security forces.
A roadside bomb killed five soldiers and wounded three others Wednesday in the South Waziristan tribal area, the Pakistani Taliban's main sanctuary before the army conducted a large ground offensive in 2009, said military officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with military policy.
Also Wednesday, a bomb exploded in a market in southwestern Pakistan, killing two people and wounding at least 20 others, said police official Ahmad Raza. The attack occurred in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province. The province is home to both Islamic militants and separatists who have waged a low-level insurgency against the government for decades.
After unity, Obama faces Democratic pushbackThursday, 31 October 2013 02:35 Published in National News
WASHINGTON (AP) — Just two weeks after President Barack Obama saw his Democratic Party put up an unyielding front against Republicans, his coalition is showing signs of stress.
From health care to spying to pending budget deals, many congressional Democrats are challenging the administration and pushing for measures that the White House has not embraced.
Some Democrats are seeking to extend the enrollment period for new health care exchanges. Others want to place restraints on National Security Administration surveillance capabilities. Still others are standing tough against any budget deal that uses long-term reductions in major benefit programs to offset immediate cuts in defense.
Though focused on disparate issues, the Democrats' anxieties are connected by timing and stand out all the more when contrasted with the remarkable unity the party displayed during the recent showdown over the partial government shutdown and the confrontation over raising the nation's borrowing limit.
"That moment was always going to be fleeting," said Matt Bennett, who worked in the Clinton White House and who regularly consults with Obama aides. "The White House, every White House, understands that these folks, driven either by principle or the demands of the politics of their state, have to put daylight between themselves and the president on occasion."
Obama and the Democrats emerged from the debt and shutdown clash with what they wanted: a reopened government, a higher debt ceiling and a Republican Party reeling in the depths of public opinion polls.
But within days, attention turned to the problem-riddled launch of the 3-year-old health care law's enrollment stage and revelations that the U.S. had been secretly monitoring the communications of as many as 35 allied leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel. And with new budget talks underway, Democratic Party liberals reiterated demands that Obama not agree to changes that reduce Social Security or Medicare benefits even in the improbable event Republicans agree to increase budget revenues.
The fraying on the Democratic Party edges is hardly unraveling Obama's support and it pales when compared to the upheaval within the Republican Party as it distances itself from the tactics of tea party conservatives. But the pushback from Democrats comes as Obama is trying to draw renewed attention to his agenda, including passage of an immigration overhaul, his jobs initiatives and the benefits of his health care law.
The computer troubles that befell the start of health insurance sign-ups have caused the greatest anxiety. Republicans pounced on the difficulties as evidence of deeper flaws in the law. But Democrats, even as they defended the policy, also demanded answers in the face of questions from their constituents.
"The fact is that the administration really failed these Americans," Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., told Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner at a hearing this week. "So going forward there can be just no more excuses."
In the Senate, 10 Democrats signed on to a letter seeking an unspecified extension of the enrollment period, which ends March 31. "As you continue to fix problems with the website and the enrollment process, it is critical that the administration be open to modifications that provide greater flexibility for the American people seeking to access health insurance," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., wrote.
Another Democratic senator, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, has called for a one-year delay in the requirement that virtually all Americans have health insurance or pay a fine.
Democrats who have talked to White House officials in recent days describe them as rattled by the health care blunders. But they say they are confident that the troubled website used for enrollment will be corrected and fully operational by the end of November.
The spying revelations also have created some tensions between the administration and Democrats. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and until now a staunch supporter of the NSA's surveillance, called for a "total review of all intelligence programs" following the Merkel reports.
She said that when it came to the NSA collecting intelligence on the leaders of allies such as France, Spain, Mexico and Germany, "Let me state unequivocally: I am totally opposed."
With Congress renewing budget talks Wednesday, liberals have been outspoken in their insistence that Democrats vigorously resist efforts to reduce long-term deficits with savings in Social Security or Medicare. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who usually votes with Democrats, has been the most outspoken, saying he fears a budget deal will contain a proposal in Obama's budget to reduce cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security and other benefit programs.
Obama, however, has proposed that remedy only if Republicans agree to raise tax revenue, a bargain that most in the GOP firmly oppose. Moreover, leaders from both parties as well as White House officials have signaled that budget talks are looking for a small budget deal, not the type of "grand bargain" that would embrace such a revenue-for-benefit-cuts deal.

Jamie Oliver: '30,000 napkins a month' stolen from restaurants
in Media Watch
It's not just table linen that's going missing, either - even the toilet flushers have been vanishing. Have you ever liberated a little memento from a restaurant? From The Guardian You might think that, along with fish forks, silver chargers and butlers, the demand for napkins would have dropped considerably over the past century. But you'd be wrong. Jamie Oliver is today complaining that each month 30,000 napkins are pinched from his restaurants. This is a staggering number. And it's not just the napkins. Oliver had installed Thomas Crapper toilets on account of them looking "wicked", but since the flushers started going walkies he's had to weld them on. READ MORE

The smelliest are often white, soft washed-rind cheeses, which are brushed with liquids or smeared with bacteria as they ripen.

As restaurateurs strive to attract a younger crowd, they've ditched the pile carpets, soft tablecloths and plush velvet booths for crowded communal tables, clattering open kitchens and pounding Rihanna music.

Great shop and great people. Polite and do not pressure you to choose and spend. quite honest and base on your spending pocket, they actually recommend looking over some options that are beneficial to you.
I was recommended by my co-worker for my engagement ring. I checked the designs and prices all over atlanta. bought the best one that i could afford, and they were gracious enough to replace it with a cutom design that my fiance chose after my proposal and before the wedding.
Strongly recommend it.
Very RUDE behavior with Customer. He is not interested in your Business, JUST YOUR MONEY. BAD PEOPLE. My sister had recommended them for some jewelry appraisals that I needed to get done. She had done some a week ago with them. So I asked her to call them and ask when I could go to get mine done. They said they were free at the time, and I could go right then, which I did. When I reached there, he made excuses that my jewelry needed cleaning and he was busy with other work at the time, so he asked me to leave it there and come back 6 hours later. I denied, and he said then I would have to take an appointment and come back. He gave me a time for the next day at 10:30am. In the jewelry business, you are never to leave your jewelry alone with some. Especially not everything at once. The next day, I reached there, this time they were busy with a few customers and I had to wait for a while, which was not a problem. Then the lady at the front desk asked me to give me all 5 pieces I had for appraisal at once. For which I denied as I did not know where she was taking them. The owner, KAMBIZ, came from the back, took one of ht e pieces from her hand and threw it in my box, and said "WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR BUSINESS." Before I had the opportunity to respond, he told me to leave and not to have any business with him. In the jewelry business, you are never to leave your jewelry alone with some.

Amazing Customer Service – Every time I spot by to view their wonderful collection I'm always greeted and helped immediately! They take the time to answer my questions and give great advice for my jewelry needs. I wouldn't take my jewelry anywhere else! I brought a necklace in that needed a new chain and they fixed my old chain! It looked brand new! I was amazed by such detail work they can do! Also, the BEST thing is the PRICE! They are honest and upfront with everything! I love going there!
Fabulous Custom Work and Terrific Attitude – These guys are the best. I had a custom-made ring that was made poorly by another Atlanta jeweler. I took it Farsi to have it re-made, and they succeeded completely where the other jeweler had failed. Kam (the owner) used an amazing computer-aided system to design the ring and show me what it would look like before the wax was made. He patiently made adjustments to the design while I watched until it was exactly what I wanted. Jim (the bench jeweler) then executed the design with precision and care. They made me feel comfortable and welcome during the whole process. Plus their prices are extremely fair compared with others in town. I live in Midtown and never thought I'd go outside the perimeter for jewelry work, but that has all changed now. It is completely worth the short (10 minute) drive from intown Atlanta. Farsi is my jeweler for good!
Best jewelery store in Atlanta – I had Farsi jewelers make the ring of my dreams. I created the ring on line and took a picture to them. My ring looked better than I expected! They were EXCELLENT!

Current volunteer opportunities for the Sioux Falls region
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Sanford Health. Below is a list of current volunteer opportunities at Sanford Health in the Sioux Falls region.
Would you like to get a feel for what it's like to work in a medical setting? If so, being a G.I. Aide would be great experience. Volunteers in this area assist in discharging patients, cleaning carts, replacing linens and help support staff.
The main purpose for this shift would be to escort patients from the GI Center to GI West. Other tasks may also include cleaning rooms, making beds, folding linen, stocking supplies and making food trays for patients.
Gift Shop volunteers provide "retail therapy" by touching the lives of patients, families and staff that come into the gift shop. Volunteers will assist gift shop staff in maintaining outstanding customer service by generating sales, merchandising, ringing transactions, taking phone orders and delivering flowers or gifts to patients' rooms. Gift shop profits are used to support scholarships, patient care, programs and medical equipment here at Sanford USD Medical Center and Sanford Children's Hospital.
Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation assists individuals in the recovery from surgery, injuries and illnesses. We help patients develop mobility, strength, balance, activities of daily living, problem solving, swallowing, speech, memory and leisure. Volunteers in Inpatient Rehabilitation assist staff with patient therapies, cleaning and clerical support.
Volunteers help enhance the patient and family experience on the Medical/Oncology unit. Volunteers may greet patients and family, answer phones, answer call lights, deliver flower to patient rooms, accompanying patients walking, passing waters, and assist in discharge.
The Sioux Empire Medical Museum is the only medical museum in the region and is open to the public. The museum is located on the Medical Center Campus and volunteers answer questions and provide information to visitors. If you like history you will be a perfect fit for the volunteer opportunity.
Enhance the patient and family experience at the OB Clinic. Volunteers may greet patients and family, give direction to waiting area/restrooms, inform OB Clinic nurse that patient has arrived, and direct patient to elevator/parking at discharge etc. Duties could also include supervision of a child while mom has lab work, etc.
Sanford has four outpatient therapy areas. Volunteers in these areas assist therapists in patient treatment. This may include, but is not limited to escorting patients, cleaning equipment, stocking items/equipment, and light clerical duties.
This is an excellent opportunity for volunteers interested in Pediatrics or Child Life. Volunteers will assist Pediatric Staff in playing and monitoring pediatric patients, washing toys, reading to patients, and rocking children. Volunteers will also provide supervision during free play time and occasional assistance with planned playroom activities. Volunteers may also assist in admissions and discharging patients.
When children are hospitilized at Sanford Children's we have a school teacher who helps them keep up on their studies. Volunteers are utilized to assist school age patients with educational activities. Volunteers will interact with school age patients (5-18 years) at bedside or in a classroom at Sanford Children's Hospital. Subject specific tutors are also needed to be "on-call' for Spanish, Physics and higher level math.

Opponents of health insurance reform continue to spread myths, including peddling the bogus notion that the health reform bill is "socialism" and a "government takeover of health care." The fact is the reform legislation builds on our existing private health insurance system--with its key components drawn from both Republican and Democratic reform ideas--and provides the largest health care tax cut in American history.
MYTH: Democrats' health insurance reform plan is socialism and a government takeover of health care.
FACTS: The Democrats' health insurance reform legislation expands private health insurance in America, and is based on increasing choice and competition -- providing for new marketplaces (called "Insurance Exchanges") where the uninsured, small business employees, and the self-employed will be able to choose among a variety of private insurance plans.
Many will receive tax credits to help them afford the health plan they choose. Indeed, our plan has striking similarities to the plan put forward as the Republican alternative to the Clinton health care plan in November 1993.
- As President Obama has pointed out: "The idea of an exchange is not a government takeover; it is how the market works, which is if you have a lot of purchasing power you get a better deal. … We should be able to give small businesses and individuals who are self-employed, who aren't able to get insurance through a large employer, that same deal."
- As Politics Daily columnist Jill Lawrence has pointed out, "Private insurance companies would not only survive under this bill, they would get millions of new customers. That doesn't sound like socialism."
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates that there would be 24 million Americans obtaining their health insurance on an Insurance Exchange by 2019 - all of them enrolled in one of the private health insurance plans offered on the Exchanges.
- A central component of this reform plan is the largest health care tax cut in American history, providing families and small businesses tax credits that will enable them to be able to afford a private health insurance plan offered on an Exchange. Indeed, according to CBO, more than 50 percent of the plan's cost is for these tax credits.
- Our plan has striking similarities to the plan put forward as the major Republican alternative to the Clinton health plan in 1993 - S. 1770, Health Equity and Access Reform Act of 1993, introduced by Sen. John Chafee, Republican of Rhode Island. This GOP bill had many Republican co-sponsors, including Senators Bob Dole of Kansas, Orrin Hatch of Utah, and Robert Bennett of Utah. It had such common features with our proposal as calling for expanding health coverage by including a shared responsibility requirement for both individuals and employers, setting a minimum benefits package, and including measures to make the health care system more efficient. And now it's socialism?

What are secondary headaches?
Secondary headaches are those that are due to an underlying structural problem in the head or neck. This is a very broad group of medical conditions ranging from dental pain from infected teeth to pain from an infected sinus, to life-threatening conditions like bleeding in the brain or infections like encephalitis or meningitis.
Traumatic headaches fall into this category including post-concussion headaches.
This group of headaches also includes those headaches associated with substance abuse and excess use of medications used to treat headaches (rebound headaches).
What are cranial neuralgias, facial pain, and other headaches?
Neuralgia means nerve pain (neur= nerve + algia=pain). Cranial neuralgia describes inflammation of one of the 12 nerves that supply the motor and sensation function of the head and neck. Perhaps the most commonly recognized example is trigeminal neuralgia, which affects cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve) and can cause intense facial pain.
What causes tension headaches?
Comment on this Read 4 Comments
While tension headaches are the most frequently occurring type of headache, their cause is not known. The World Health Organization estimates that in the developed world, 80% of women and 67% of men will experience this type of headache. The most likely cause is contraction of the muscles that cover the skull. When the muscles covering the skull are stressed, they may become inflamed, go into spasm, and cause pain. Common sites include the base of the skull where the trapezius muscles of the neck insert, the temples where muscles that move the jaw are located, and the forehead.
There is little research to confirm the exact cause of tension headaches. Tension headaches occur because of physical or emotional stress placed on the body. For example, these stressors can cause the muscles surrounding the skull to clench the teeth and go into spasm. Physical stressors include difficult and prolonged manual labor, or sitting at a desk or computer for long periods of time concentrating. Emotional stress also may cause tension headaches by causing the muscles surrounding the skull to contract.

You can find numerous 15 to 18 inch mature vintage vogue toys available today that its simple to be mistaken. You'll find several variables which you must look into before picking out a substantial-size Berenguer la newborn dolls vogue toy – the accessibility to designs, apparel and add-ons, jointing, version dimensions, plus much more. Here is what you should know to choose the BEST vintage vogue toy for you!
Tyler is a designer to get a modern-day vogue home. Tyler is ideal for the enthusiast, and has contemporary trends needing a toy presenting the very best of casual clothing and contemporary fashion. Tyler additionally "classic" getups in her Cinema de la Setting set. Additional figures contain Esme (African-American) Sydney (senior) and Mei Lei (Oriental). Tyler, like Gene, has layouts readily available for stitching.
Gene is the best-ruling substantial-measured vintage vogue toy. Launched in 1995, you can find several variants of Gene, plus figures including Madra Trent (man), Lord (her opponent) and Purple Seas (African-American). Gene is an excellent vogue toy for enthusiasts who value outfits of the 1940s and fifties, and that collectors who are supporters of timeless pictures, can be Gene is a "film star."
Alex has more of a "dolly" sense than several of another vogue toys, since the top of the toy is somewhat bigger as opposed to heads of several of another toys. Alex features a wonderful, modern-day clothing. Additional figures contain London (African-American) and Jade (Oriental). As-is quite Madame Alexander garments, the apparel is extremely comprehensive, and also the toys are receiving total-connection in 2013.
Event by Barbara Wakeen can be a smasher using a modern appearance and sense. Event's tale puts her as a style photographer. Cassie is one more "younger" smasher in the point. Event has more of an "ingenue" appearance than both Gene or Tyler (some enthusiasts believe she's the ideal selection to get a younger-appearing toy or marginally younger enthusiast).
Brendastarr has got a whole revise in 2003! She's presently being generated by John Tonner. Her plastic is sleeker, she's thinner (like in the face area) and her apparel may showcase the finest of 1940s vogues, using deluxe and wonderfully scaled garments. The primary Brenda toys still haven't attained shops, therefore we will need to learn how Brenda ties in along with her more-period rivals this season.

Cat is somewhat larger-than many of the additional vogue toys profiled here, at 18″. That makes Cat perfect for stitching–the larger-size is simpler for many seamstresses to manage. In addition, Cat is an alternative vogue toy using a wonderful ingenue sense. Cat wears equally classic and contemporary vogue, however, I believe that Cat lights in her classic use. Yet another fantastic vogue toy from John Tonner.
Really trendy, really youthful, with teen-age vogue in the vanguard, the Seventeen toys are fresh from Ashton Drake this season. Created by John Tonner, the toys come in the nature of Seventeen journal that has been a popular of youthful teenaged women for years. A great option for an old kid or teen enthusiast, along with the enthusiast who loves younger trends.

The bewildering Minitopz PC from Artopz
The Romanz is built from brushed bronze with blue accent lights
Article Summary
We've seen some weird and wacky PC designs in our time, but few are as surreal as the Minitopz range from US firm Artopz Technology. The fusion of art and computing is entirely a subjective one, so we won't cast too many opinions on the actual design, but what is intriguing here is that the Minitopz range has chosen the humble desk lamp as the subject of its hybrid.
