It was recently brought to my attention that I had no women in my portfolio...and I want more creatures in it...so I'm gonna kill two birds with one stone, as soon as I master the female figure.
I know the legs/calves are way too meaty, and I'm gonna make the hands and feet smaller too...but feel free to bestow female-drawing knowlege.
Keep in mind they're warriors, so I was trying to make them look beefy...
I'm gonna draw one of these (the first one probably), along with backgrounds and whatnot.
BG: Incan/Greek-ish temple. Will extend to include entire creature-thing.
BG: Outside. Somewhere. With mountains.

hey, godd start for a sketchbook!
i really like the war elephant design and the alien design in post 7.About the colours tho, try and work in a more subtle way and study from life, some of these (i'm thinking about he war elephant especially) would look great with some rought B/W values.You should check out markers.
Anyway, nice sense of graphic design, but keep working on anatomy
keep it updated!
October 20th, 2006 #16
Very nice! I especially dig the compositions of the three starting with the armored guy on a horse. I would love to see the elephant finished up similarly.
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

Pat Miller: This week at BHS - Transition time has ended
When there is significant roster turnover from one year to the next it is not unusual for a team to struggle at the beginning of the season. Successful programs, however, do not allow that transition to linger past the first few weeks.

We first took notice of Blue Canoe back in March of last year, around the time the pioneering California eco-label was introducing its bamboo line of lingerie (and Lingerie Talk was just getting started). As supporters of eco-friendly undergarments, we wished this innovative company well with their new venture and hoped that it would be as successful as their other environmentally conscious endeavors. Turn the clock forward a year and a few months and we catch up with Blue Canoe creator Laurie Dunlap to chat about the bamboo line and find out what's new for fall.
I know you began Blue Canoe by creating organic cotton swimwear pieces. When did your interest in design begin?
In my experience, there's no better way to learn than by doing. My mom taught me how to sew as a girl, but I could never find commercial patterns in styles I wanted, so I started making my own changes from patterns that were close. Later in life I worked for a couple of girlfriends who were designing a swimwear line using exotic, expensive Italian prints. One of the women was European and had a great sense of style, but it wasn't my style. So I started making my own using the exact opposite types of fabric – organic cotton that I would dye in my washing machine.
Do you have a specific design philosophy?
I like there to be something classic about the style – something timeless. I think great fit is essential. A garment that has lines that compliment a woman's body is the best design there is! I'm also a great believer in functional design – meaning not a lot of 'add-ons' and frills. I like a clean and efficient aesthetic but with a twist such as an interesting or unexpected detail.
You recently started a bamboo line of lingerie. How is this being received by your customers compared to your other lingerie?
Bamboo really opened up design possibilities for me because it's so fluid and drapes so beautifully. It inspired me to add a whole new category to the line — ultra soft lounge/lifestyle pieces. People have really responded well to it. It feels like wearing your PJ's everywhere, only better looking. Bamboo especially lends itself to pleating, twisting and the draping that is so fashionable right now.
Can you tell me a little bit more about using bamboo as a fabric? What are the benefits?
When it's grown organically, which ours is, it's a very sustainable eco crop. It grows very quickly and can yield 20 times more fiber than trees in the same sized space. Bamboo produces 30% more oxygen than trees. So wear bamboo while you drive your Prius and you can help prevent global warming! It also feels great, breathes well and keeps you cool.
What are the eco-friendly steps you take when creating your products?
The main thing is that all the cotton and bamboo we use is organically grown. That means there are no pesticides or herbicides used on the crop and no chemicals that pollute the soil. We also only use approved, low-impact, non-toxic dyes. Few people realize that fabric dying is one of the most toxic industries in the world.
We have a new eco-performance fabric that is made with the plastic that comes from recycled plastic bottles. It wicks away moisture and is quick to dry, and it also helps to limit the vast quantity of plastic that is off-gassing in our landfills for the next 600 years!
Do you find it increasingly difficult to remain true to your eco roots in today's industry, or is it easier considering the growing popularity and awareness around green thinking?
It's wonderful that organic cotton and other eco fibers are becoming so popular. Blue Canoe was kind of a lonely pioneer back in 1994 when we started. The whole company is still dedicated to our original mission of using only the best eco fibers available and now there's better availability. I would still love to see more unique, textured and chunky knit fabrics and slubs and marls. There are just not enough creative yarns being spun in organic cotton yet. Stay tuned!
What draws your customers more? The eco-conscious material and practices you employ or the designs themselves?
I like to think some of both. We were never a 'granola' line even though we were one of the first companies using organic cotton. Our fabrics have always been ultra soft and dyed beautiful rich colors. The styling has always been classic and contemporary.
Anything new and exciting with lingerie for fall?
Our Adjustable Bra, which could probably use a more enticing name. It hit the ground running and is already one of our best-selling bras. It has optional soft cup inserts, adjustable straps, and delicate lace on the neck edge and is made from our bamboo blend fabric. We also have a new robe that is super soft and features inseam pockets and comes in a sophisticated palette. It's perfect for being comfortable while still looking elegant.
Now, here's a sneak preview of some new items you'll find in Blue Canoe's upcoming Fall 2011 collection. That's the adjustable bra and hiphugger panty in cocoon in the main photo above. Below, clockwise from upper left, are: the Ava gown; the Princessline came and workout short; and the light robe.
The most overdone trend in lingerie marketing is the use of "average women" to lend a veneer of everyday realism to a brand's carefully packaged fantasies.
When done sensitively, these campaigns can give consumers a useful reference point. But they can also come across as exploitative: in almost all such cases the volunteer models aren't paid, their "average" figures are given a Photoshop brush-up, and their personal stories must pass through the filter of the marketing agency that packaged the pitch.
The people behind these campaigns could learn a lot from Lorna Laurentino, a lingerie design student at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology who has created a remarkable archive of what real, real women think about — and look like in — their undies.
Lorna's photo blog, The Lingerie Project, focuses on ordinary girls and women from all backgrounds and invites them to a) pose in their favorite intimates; and b) talk about love, sex, identity and fashion … and how all those subjects intersect. (TLP is one section of Lorna's personal blog, lornalaurentino.com.)
So far there are about two dozen individual profile-portraits in The Lingerie Project, and Lorna says she will be starting the series up again with a new batch this fall. Each of the profiles includes several professional-quality (and un-airbrushed) photo portraits and often-lengthy interviews.
Here's what she has to say about her project:
Having grown up in a family made up completely of women, I've always felt a strong connection with the female body and knew this was the creative medium I was made for.
The Lingerie Project is not only about lingerie, but also about the woman in her lingerie. I like to explore the idea of what is sexy through a somewhat feminist approach, by addressing issues concerning body image and women's status in society.
The project showcases the everyday woman with the strength to bare herself in her favorite undergarments. She takes the opportunity to have her voice heard on a public forum, discussing why the undergarments are her favorite, things that make her feel sexy, what makes her feel uncomfortable, her relationships with men, women, and society. The images are never photoshopped in any way, because every curve and dimple about a woman is beautiful.
Lorna's subjects in The Lingerie Project offer exceptionally candid confessions as they talk about past and current loves and how their self-image has evolved as their bodies change. They come across as fearless, articulate and very self-aware.
Lorna's gallery skews toward younger women, but the range is broad and diverse: from virgins to the sexually adventurous; women in love and those wounded by love; gay, straight and every other color of the rainbow; Victoria's Secret fans and luxury label fanatics.
Once you've read a few profiles, The Lingerie Project begins to feel like an anthropological study of contemporary women — there's a lot of depth here.
In one truly fascinating profile — the only one in which the subject's identity is concealed by a pseudonym — a woman poses in her favorite lacy underthings while describing in heart-wrenching detail how she found personal freedom after a double mastectomy.
For Lorna, lingerie becomes a lens through which women can see and understand themselves more clearly. And her subjects will never be more naked than they are when discussing their deepest feelings in their favorite intimate apparel.
Below, we've reprinted some individual images and brief snippets of what the women in the photos say about themselves. If you're like me, though, you'll want to keep checking The Lingerie Project to see the latest instalment.
This isn't just a cool blog, it's terrific journalism.
"I'm a princess. I get what I want and I do what I want. That sounds really bad, but it's true. Say I want a girl; I figure out her little quirks and what she likes and I play off of that. I act like I'm the shit and I seduce them. Because that's really what you have to do; act like you're royalty."
"I always go back to the vintage thing. I love the idea of diving into your innermost personality; having another part of your personality under your clothes that you don't always show to everyone."
"If a guy is checking you out on the subway or in the supermarket, there's nothing wrong with dropping your number on his lap."
"I try and love all of me, but the things that I don't necessarily love I work with. Sometimes I don't like my stomach, so I go for the high waist panties and corsets… I wish I could go through life always wearing a corset."
"It's usually a roller-coaster in my skin. You have good weeks and bad weeks. I try and do things to help my body. But I do it for me, not for anyone else. And that feels great to have that independence again. It's liberating to be beautiful only for myself again."
"I think the industry is lacking a good moderate priced intimate designer. If you want beautiful lingerie, you have to buy Kiki de Montparnasse or Agent Provocateur, and who can really spend that much on lingerie? Elle Macphearson has the right idea. Her lingerie isn't cheap but you're not only buying a name, you're buying a design."
"Women of status from 600-630 in the Middle East did not breast-feed their children. They always had a wet nurse, and the one to the man that would become the prophet, her name was Halima. Halima translates to the feminine of 'dreamer'. I picked that pseudonym because the irony runs very thick within it for myself. She was the woman that breast-fed the prophet. I have had a double mastectomy and will never have the ability to breast-feed."
"When I was little I thought breasts were so intriguing. When my sisters started developing I became so fascinated; I wanted to learn more about how they worked and what they were for. I would even ask if I could take showers with them, and I'd try to feel them up in the shower. I just wanted to understand them … but I never got them. I always wanted boobs, but I never got them. It's kind of a running joke in my family."
"I've had people tell me the idea of sleeping around is creepy or disgusting, but I personally think it's perfectly natural for humans to be together, regardless if you know them or not. That's what the human body is made for."
"I have been through so many trust issues with girls… I put so much into all of my friendships and I just always felt like I would get screwed over…but through it all I've met so many real people and I've realized that girls aren't always like that. I've formed great relationships… and I've come to realize that there's people that you keep in your life for a reason, and if they're not gonna treat you right then they aren't worth having in your life."
"I'm really passionate about being comfortable with one's sexuality. I happen to have been with men and women… Regarding my orientation, I like to answer to people lately that I am a 'wonderful question mark of love'. I don't like labels and I don't see why I couldn't be with either an amazing guy or girl."
A recent trip to Mexico and Santa Fe inspired the looks in designer Teo Griscom's fall collection, a very distinctive set built around the use of a light linen netting.
The result is a mix-and-match collection that will yield some truly unique looks you won't find anywhere else. Those are high-waisted linen briefs on top of a romper-like pullunder in the photo above — a statement-making ensemble that wouldn't be out of place on the street, or in a store window.
Teo is the founder of the idiosyncratic New York label Unforeseen Circumstances, which produces lingerie styles with a vintage feel but a very contemporary RTW vibe (which makes sense since she's also part of the streetwear label Jackson, Johnston and Roe). Teo likes to experiment with color blocking and graphic panels to come up with the label's intriguing aesthetic.
The centrepiece of her fall line isn't so much a style as it is a fabric — the silk linen netting used in the collection's crop tops and briefs, and offered in a dusty desert palette. (That's an image below from UC's moodboard, showing swatches used in the fall collection.) Next to your skin, this won't keep you warm through the winter, but it will feel super airy and fresh next spring and will create some dramatic looks when used as layering pieces.
The fall set from Unforeseen Circumstances will begin shipping next month and can be found at boutiques such as Lille, Journelle and Jumelle in Williamsburg.
Here are some more images from the new collection, shot in a Tribeca antiques shop to give the whole set an old-world feel.
There is more than one way to approach sensuality. Sure, there is the obvious push-up bra and corseted hourglass and there is also the bondage route of aggressive and brazen sexuality. Then there is the softer take, subtler in its approach but equally if not more all encompassing of the senses.
Perhaps the most recent example of this is La Perla's Fall/Winter 2011 conception, called The Roaring Collection. As the name and the pieces themselves suggest, the collection is inspired by a decade when inhibitions of the past were replaced by revelry in prosperity and by an era of sumptuous indulgences. The luxurious sensuality that La Perla has become known for is still well embedded in the new designs but the direct relation to the decade through use of Art Nouveau lace, fringe, maribou feathers and animal print creates an air of drama layered with a Gatsbyesque intrigue.
In some ways, this collection is more subdued than the scintillatingly seductive collections from La Perla's past. In others, it's equally if not more provocative. Vintage tuxedo-inspired loungewear hits the mark by bringing together both the current tuxedo trends that dominated the runways this fall and the reliable muse that is the 1920s. Design details such as patterned lace, fanciful frill details and nude paneling carry with them a nostalgic and emotive sensuality, if not their own subplot — a blend of the dawning of a new age and a romance with the past.
Have a look at the lavish styling in the photoshoot for La Perla's latest masterpiece!
If fashion labels have a honeymoon period — that golden time when people are besotted with everything you create, the media fawns obligingly, and you can't keep up with new orders — then Zinke Intimates is in the middle of a glorious honeymoon.
The hip indie label's summer set of bra tops and bloomers for Free People was a huge success and Zinke's fall collection, the roadtrip-inspired Souvenirs (which we previewed earlier), is such a triumph of style and color that it'll be near the top of everyone's best-of list at year's end.
Founder/sisters Arin Robinson and Jessie Zinke were profiled recently in Women's Wear Daily — always an important rite of passage! — and Zinke items have been featured this summer in such fashion bibles as Brides, Marie Claire and InStyle.
At the CurvExpo trade show in New York last month, it was hard to have a decent chat with the Zinkettes because their booth was always swarmed with buyers gushing over next year's spring collection and Zinke's colorful upcoming swim line. And how's this for a compliment? When I asked Nikki and Maayan of The Lake and Stars — arguably New York's most admired designer lingerie label — what they had seen at Curve that appealed to them, they blurted out in unison: "Zinke!"
One look at the distinctive Souvenir collection proves that the accolades are well-earned. It's fun, romantic and simple enough to appeal to a broad audience of trend-conscious fashionistas who want stylish but wearable intimates.
Two things set this collection apart. First, the color palette is risky — no blacks, no nudes! — but perfect for fall. Designer Jessie Zinke is fearlessly creative with color, and gives us a seasonal array of hues like gravel, spice, lake, lilac and harvest gold that seem borrowed from the American landscape itself. There is nothing on the market that looks like this collection.
And there's one item in the collection that has the hallmark of a classic: the Bright Lights stretch silk bralette (above), with its contrasting colorways and three front hook-and-eye closures anchored by an elasticized band. Zinke isn't the first label to use this kind of hardware or fabric, but their design has such a timeless contemporary feel that it should be a favorite for years to come.
(Interestingly, most people I've talked to point to either the very sexy All Things Nice lace jumper or the cute and comfy Chelsea romper as their favorites in the Souvenir collection, proving only that tastes vary … and that this collection is filled with gems.)
Zinke is one of a handful of young labels (still barely two years old!) that is redefining contemporary American fashion lingerie. We've seen next year's line and the very surprising Zinke Swim collection, and all we can say at this point is: if you thought the honeymoon was sweet, wait till you see what comes next!
Here are some of the nicest looks in Zinke's fall collection:

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to neck exercising devices and, more particularly, to neck exercising devices having a stand-up frame with a plurality of weighted objects suitable for exercising the human neck while standing in an upright position.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The prior art is noticeably lacking in devices useful in specifically exercising the human neck.
One of the known devices utilized in the prior art for exercising the human neck, involves the use of a series of straps of cloth material which is sewn or otherwise secured together to form a hat-like pocket for cradling the head of the person whose neck is to be exercised. Portions of the straps are arranged to depend from the hat portion of this prior art device so as to extend substantially below the neck and shoulders of the person performing the neck exercise routine but not, typically, below the waist of such user, the ends of such straps terminating in loops for anchoring suitable weighted objects thereto.
Use of this prior art neck exercising device is accomplished by placing the hat portion over the head of the person whose neck is to be exercised, affixing one or more weighted objects to the looped portions of the depending straps and thereafterwards moving the neck up and down and side to side. With the weighted objects providing a constant pull or "force" which is transmitted to the user's neck via the depending straps and the hat structure formed by the sewn straps, the neck is exercised along with the muscles of the human body which are associated with the movement of the human neck.
Another means utilized in the prior art involved no device, but simply the use of the hands of the person. By placing the palm of the hand against the head and pushing and resisting the neck movements, the neck was exercised along with the muscles associated therewith.
A yet still further prior art neck exercising method involved the use of the head and neck muscles to lift a portion of the weight of the human body up from the floor or a wall. This is accomplished by placing the neck in intimate abuttment with the floor or a vertical wall and allowing the body to be moved by forcing the neck muscles to "lift" a portion of the body away from and towards the wall or floor in a back and forth fashion. Of course, such a neck exercising routine or regime did not involve the use of a device.
All of the prior art methods discussed above, which are the only ones known to the applicant herein, are deficient in a number of aspects. First, with respect to the hat and weighted objects apparatus, the user cannot comfortably stand up and exercise his neck because the weighted objects contact his body which is in some cases intolerable and in other cases, simply a nuisance and a source of irritation. To eliminate this body contact with the weighted objected, the user had to sit down and position his neck forward of his body and above the opening between his legs, and the weighted objects dangling from the hat/strap combination were targeted for positioning between the spread-apart legs.
Second, with respect to the manual methods of exercising the neck, there is no provision for consistently and uniformly repeating the same degree of resistance or force as applied to the neck and its muscles. Additionally, the degree of movement of the neck and its muscles are severely restricted and fail to provide the necessary and desired freedom of motion necessary to fully exercise the neck and its associated muscles.
For these important and significant reasons, and others as hereinafterwards further discussed and enumerated, the present neck exercising device was created.
With respect to the present invention disclosed more fully hereinafterwards, such may be fundamentally described as a neck exercising apparatus which is directed to be used primarily for freely exercising the human neck while the person is standing in an upright position. Basically, it is a neck exercising device including an upright frame means capable of surrounding the upright torso of a human being, including a pair of handle means for manually gripping the frame means, a plurality of flexible ropes one end of each of the ropes being securable to one of the weighted objects, guide means secured to the frame means for guiding each of the plurality of ropes, means for securing the ropes to the weighted objects, and means for securing the unattached ends of the ropes to the head of the person using the neck exerciser.
It is one object of the instant invention to provide a means for exercising the neck while standing in an upright position.
Another object of the instant invention is to provide a portable means for exercising the neck so that it can be easily transported from one location to another.
A yet still further and primary object of the invention is to provide a neck exercising device which is suitable for therapeutic recovery from injuries to the neck and its associated muscles.
One object of the invention is to provide a neck exercising apparatus which is economical and convenient to manufacture.
A yet another object of the invention disclosed herein is to provide a neck exerciser which can provide for precise adjustment of the degree or magnitude of the forces applied to the neck during the exercise regime.
Another important and significant object of the invention is to provide a neck exerciser for increasing the strength of the neck and its muscles.
It is one object of the invention to provide a neck exerciser which will also support the person engaging in the neck exercising routine to prevent the person from possibly falling during the routine.
Another significant object of the instant invention is to provide a neck exerciser which is capable of being easily and quickly dismantled for storage during periods of non-use.
Another object of the invention is to provide a neck exerciser with a full range of distributive neck motion so that all degrees of neck rotation can be quickly and easily accommodated.
Other objects and features of the invention will become readily apparent as the disclosure and description of the invention continues herein, and by reference to the numerous illustrations and drawings which illustrate one preferred embodiment of the invention and the use thereof.

With continuing reference to all of the drawings herein, and, more specifically now to FIGS. 1, 4, 7-9, inclusive, there is shown the present invention, a neck exerciser, generally indicated at 9 in FIGS. 8 and 9, which includes, generally, a free-standing exercise frame 10, a helmet 70 with a plurality of anchoring hooks 57, 61, 63, and 65 thereon, a plurality of weights 30, 34, and 36, a plurality of cables 37, 38, 39, one end of each of the cables 37, 38, 39 is operably connected to one of the anchoring hooks 57, 61, 63 and 65 on the helmet 70 and the other end of which is operably coupled to one of the weights 30, 34, and 36, and cable guiding eyelets 27, 28, 31, and a cable guiding pulley 40 anchorably secured to the frame 10.
The frame 10, as clearly shown in FIG. 1, includes a pair of vertically-disposed, U-shaped members, generally indicated at 11 and 12. Each of said U-shaped members 11 and 12 consists of three tubular metal elements. The U-shaped frame member 11 includes a U-shaped element having a bottom portion 17 which is designed to rest firmly on the floor, and a pair of substantially parallel sleeves 13B, 14B, with at least a pair of apertures 77, 78, respectively, in the uppermost ends thereof. The sleeves 13B, 14B are slightly larger in inside diameter so as to freely receive a pair of extension arms 13A, 14A, with a plurality of apertures 76 arranged in spaced-apart vertical relationship. The purpose and function of such apertures 76 will become increasingly clear as the description and operation of the present invention proceeds further hereinafterwards.
A pair of horizontally-arranged crossbars 23, 24 are secured through appropriately aligned apertures in the sleeves 14B, 15B and the extension arms 14A and 15A, respectively, and the undercut, threaded ends thereof terminated and secured in position by a pair of nuts, of which nuts 25 and 26 are typical. The purpose and function of this pair of crossbars 23, 24 are to assist in the formation of a free-standing frame 10 by maintaining the U-shaped members 11 and 12 in a spaced-apart relationship at least the width of the standing body of the person using this neck exerciser 9.
The vertical height of the U-shaped members 11 and 12 can be adjusted by raising or lowering the extension arms 13A, 14A, 15A, 16A, and aligning the various apertures respectively contained therein with the corresponding apertures 77, 78, 79, 80 contained in the sleeves 13B, 14B, 15B, 16B and passing a pull-locking pin, such as indicated at 75, thereinthrough.
A pair of tubular metal crossmembers 19, 20 are secured to the uppermost portions of the extension arms 13A, 14A, 15A, 16A by aligning the apertures contained therein with the apertures in the pair of tubular crossmembers 19, 20 and passing the threaded crossbar 24 therethrough on the outermost ends thereof and nutting them, and a pair of eyelets 27, 28 with threaded extensions thereon which are passed through the aligned apertures in the crossmembers 19, 20 and the uppermost portions of the extension arms 13A, 14A, 15A, 16A.
With special emphasis now on FIG. 2, there is shown in enlarged detailed form a section taken along Plane A--A of FIG. 1, the precise method whereby the crossmember 19 is secured by means of an eyelet 27 having a threaded stem portion 46 associated therewith which is passed through a plurality of aligned apertures in the crossmember 19 and the extension arm 13A and nutted using nut 45. A plastic cap 47 is stretched over the open end of the tube forming the extension arm 13A to prevent debris from entering thereinto. Such a cap is typical to place over the tubing ends for this purpose. As can be readily seen from the Figure, the cable 29 is arranged to be guided by eyelet 27. The purpose of joining these various members together is to form a strong, yet lightweight and rigid frame member 10. The forwardmost extremities of the crossmembers 19, 20 are curved upwardly to form a pair of handles 21, 22 which are used by the person exercising his or her neck to manually grip same with his or her hands to steady themselves during the neck exercise routine. Such use is clearly shown and described in FIGS. 8 and 9 of the drawings herein.
Three cables 37, 38, 39 with loops in the uppermost ends thereof are passed through guides, such as the eyelets 27, 28 and the pulley 40, to weights 30, 34, 36 at the opposite ends of the cables 37, 38, 39. Additional eyelet cable guides 31, 35 are utilized in conjunction with eyelet cable guides 27, 28, respectively.
Cable 38 is, alternatively, guided by a pulley 40.
Turning now to FIG. 3, there is shown in enlarged fashion, a view of a portion of the present invention taken along Plane B--B of FIG. 1. As seen herein, there is shown the pulley to which is secured via an eyelet swivel to a U-bolt and backing plate 42 which is secured about the crossbar 23 and removably locked thereabout by the nuts 43, 44 engaged with the threaded portions of the U-bolt and backing plate 42. A pulley wheel 41 is provided to guide the cable 32 which supports a weight 36. A pin 37 is provided to ensure that the cable 36 does not disengage from the pulley 40.
With special emphasis now on FIG. 4, there is shown a helmet, generally indicated at 50, which includes a crown portion, a forwardmost portion, generally indicated at 69, a rearwardmost portion, generally indicated at 70, and side portions, which are generally indicated, respectively, at 71, 72, a plurality of eyelets 57, 61, 63, 65 with threaded arms and plates 64, 66, and helmet anchoring interfaces 59, 62. A chin strap 51, 56 is adapted for snapping into place at 54 and is anchored to the helmet 70 at 52, 53. FIG. 5, which is a view taken along Plane D--D of FIG. 4 illustrates, in detail, the method for anchoring the eyelet 61 to the hard plastic outer casing of the helmet 70. FIG. 6 is a view taken along Plane C--C of FIG. 7 illustrating the method of attaching eyelet 65 and its associated base plate 66 to the hard outer casing of the helmet 50. Vent holes 67, 68 are provided to ensure the comfort of the neck exerciser user.
With special reference now to FIGS. 8, 9, there is shown a person actually in a standing, ready-to-use position with the invention 9. As shown, the person places himself within the frame 10 standing in an upright position. The vertical height of the frame 10 is adjusted by pulling the locking pins 75 out of their engagement with the sleeves 13, 14, 15 and 16 and the extension arms 13A, 14A, 15A, and 16A, respectively, and the apertures in the extension arms 13A, 14A, 15A, and 16A arranged to be aligned with the apertures in the sleeves 13, 14, 15 and 16 as desired and then re-inserted so that the extension arms 13A, 14A, 15A, and 16A can be locked at the desired height.
Following this, the cables having the weights 30, 34 and 36 attached to the lowermost ends thereof, are passed through the eyelets 31, 35 and pulley 41, and other eyelets as needed and the uppermost ends, which are terminated in small loops, are attached to the eyelets 57, 61 and hooks 63, 65 which are affixed to the helmet 50.
While standing in this upright position, and manually gripping the two handles 21, 22, the person moves his head from side-to-side and front-to-back in order to exercise his neck. In so doing the weighted cables are kept in alignment and the person is able to precisely exercise his neck, a feat which, heretofore, was not practicable. The weights can be increased or decreased as desired for the most beneficial effect on the user.
While there has been described in detail herein a particular embodiment of the present invention, such is not by any means intended to be limited to the particular embodiment given as a illustration of the principles of the instant invention, but such is intended only to be limited by the spirit and scope of the claims appended hereto.

Anti-abortion ads to run during Super Bowl
Posted By Liz Somers On January 22, 2012 @ 6:58 pm In chat room,News | 1 Comment
Activist Terry Randall, a long-time Republican, is running for president [1] as a Democrat so he can run anti-abortion [2] ads [3] during the Super Bowl [4] on Feb. 5.
The ads are graphic and according to the FCC Telecommunications Act networks must air the campaign [5] ads and cannot alter the content. Grand Junction [6] is on the slate for one of 13 markets in which the ads will be aired.
Randall got the idea after a blogger [7] — Sophia Brugato — created #10forTebow [8] on Twitter to urge readers to donate $10 to pro-life efforts for every touchdown Tim Tebow [9] scored. The blogger [7], who if I read this correct from a CNN report, got pregnant as a senior in high school, elected not to have an abortion [10] and chose motherhood. The blogger [7] has since received death threats and hate mail.
What are your thoughts on this on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade [11]?

Jilly Cooper sets her latest, the 800-page Wicked!, in a failing comprehensive. Joanna Briscoe saddles up for a long ride.
Celebrated for her saucy tales of England's horsey upper classes, now Jilly Cooper has turned her wicked eye on - the education system. And there's no sex till page 170. Has the mistress of the shire-romp gone soft? Rachel Cooke finds her on vintage form.
The cry of AvadaKedavra still echoed down the corridor like an agitated bird in search of a window to freedom.
Jilly Cooper, speaking on an ITV documentary tonight about the bond between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, says: "Obviously, there is a very strong sexual pull. They love the same things. They love the countryside and they adore dogs."
We all have a secret passion for entertainment that isn't cool. Here, one former cabinet minister revels in Abba; one crime writer reveals he reads all of Jilly Cooper's bonkbusters; and Jon Snow shares his hankering for a particular singing nun
Zoe Williams:There are mild laughs to be had from the decoration of Jilly Cooper. Most of these should be provided by the idea of the Queen having read Riders or Polo or, especially, Rivals.
They have been sniped at, belittled and patronised for years by the literary elite, but like the wronged wives of their books, Jilly Cooper and Joanna Trollope, the queens of popular fiction, have had enough.
It is usually applied to the airport novels of Jackie Collins, Harold Robbins and Jilly Cooper - with their breathy descriptions of sexual antics. But the term "bonkbuster", which yesterday gained official recognition as part of the English language, actually originates from the less salacious pages of the Guardian.
The sap is rising as never before in Jilly Cooper's latest Rutshire romp, Pandora, and we can't get enough of it
Crime author Ian Rankin talks to Rosanna Greenstreet and declares his love for Jilly Cooper's Rivals

Biography is the new black. Or the new Jilly Cooper. Or something. The old way of writing biographies was to do loads of research into your subject, and then, decorously and respectfully, write an objective and footnoted account of the subject's life. The new way, it seems, is to do loads of research and then just make it up.
We showed desk therapist Donna Dawson the desk of novelist Jilly Cooper
Jilly Cooper's latest novel, Score! (Bantam Press, £16.99), tells the story of the filming of Verdi's darkest opera, with tensions between a villainous conductor, a charismatic French director and a volatile cast of stars erupting in murder. How to Survive Christmas (Bantam Press, £9.99) is a blackly comic light-hearted guide to coping with the festive season.

If looks sold books, then Thomas Harris, Wilbur Smith and Jilly Cooper should step aside to allow Jake Arnott his rightful place at the top of the bestseller list. Doesn't matter he's a novice writer; doesn't matter he's no young prodigy. He's 38, so what? Those eyes, that look: part brute, part boy.
It was October 14 1993. At the time I was a hybrid, a mixture of food writer and artist, and was in India making a series for Radio Three about the old spice routes. That day I had been swimming with a very charming Bombay film producer, in a pool shaped like India. Later I met Bombay's answer to the novelist Jilly Cooper, who is rather a gossip, and while we were chatting she said: `Sooo. You went swimming with the murderer!' She told me that the producer had apparently pushed his first wife off the balcony and got away with it. She agreed he was terribly charming, a very nice man, and said that his second wife was very happy - although she did stay away from balconies.

Who are the best dividend stocks for the next five years? That's a good question and I also look for stocks with promising fundamentals.
I do desk research and fundamentals are the most important source of information which I can use.
Today I've created a nice forward orientated screen of dividend paying large caps with doubledigit earnings growth forecasts over the next five years and low valuation figures as well. I did not select the stocks by a long dividend growth history.

Updated: July 25, 2012, 4:58 PM ETESPNBoston.com

"I'm going back to my normal ways," Johnson told the newspaper after a photo shoot for Zico Coconut Water. "My normal ways, when I was at my best, when I got fined, look at the production those years. Usually things don't go right when you try to change the way you do things. I'm back ...

In regard to Drops' creation, the Windy City rapper/producer stated, "I made it because Summertime is coming up and I needed something to play in the car with the windows down." Well, he can consider his mission accomplished; this joint's slow-rolling rhythm section, powerful bass and ominous synth riff are perfect for blasting at illegal volumes from your ride, and Inglish's deadpan, braggadocious bars complement the beat's street-ready vibe. So, Booth readers, is this going to be the soundtrack to your next afternoon drive? Those who answer in the affirmative should watch our pages for more fresh song releases leading up to the May 23, release of Chuck's Droptops LP.

zachermaj I found the Always Inn to be a fantastic place to stay, homely and inviting, close to the railway station and only a walk away from the Niagra Falls. The whole area is beautiful, full of old, charming houses and B&B, green and peaceful. My bedroom had a huge, comfortable double bed and a private bathroom, air con and DVD player. The owner made me feel very much at home, which was very nice after hiking and tenting for a while. The price was reasonable too, especially comparing with my hostel I just stayed in in New York. In short-a great place to stay! Eva

rosie.upso I loved my stay here. It is owned by a family, and it is a lovely environment. I truly enjoyed it. They kept it clean and were very helpful. The only issue is that it is a long walk from the falls.... like 20-25 mins depending on how slow/fast you walk. This was not advertised correctly. But despite this I really enjoyed staying here

floozy2 Nice hostel, very comfortable with wonderful lounge area, TV, movies, pool table and so on. Also great large kitchen- unlike so many hostels in N America! About 25 mins walk from the Falls- but its a nice walk along the river. Nice staff who make the effort to welcome you and help you out. I would use this hostel again.
