Post subject: Coloring/shading guides?
Does anyone have any advice or a link to any guides about choosing colors for shading?
I'm trying to wean myself off of just throwing a partially transparent multiply layer over the flat shaded pic, but every time I try to pick the colors by hand, it looks shitty. There's got to be some rules or guidelines or something behind it, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out on my own.

I could be wrong, but I gather most digital artists just create a multiply layer. You can get some great effects for ambient light and intrinsic subcoloring by selecting different colors for use as the multiply layer. If I have time, I'll throw some examples of what I mean together and edit them into this message.

Welll there's the "temperature" method, where if your main color is a "warm" one (red/orange/yellow/etc) then you choose something with a "cooler" color (blue/green/purple) for the shadows. And vice-versa, I suppose.
And that's pretty much all I know about picking colors.

You are wrong in that 'most digital artists do this'. It's frequently used for cel-shading because it's fast and can give good results if you don't use black and white! But most digital artists (not just digital comic colorists) hand-pick colors because it gives you greater control.
Using a multiply layer for shadows and a screen layer for highlights is a good fast way of laying down cel-shading but it's a bad habit to get into because it decreases the control you have in the end result.
I frequently suggest launching into more dynamic shading by trying blue or purple for shadows, and warm tones for highlights... that's how things generally are in real life, naturally. And yeah, you can even do this with multiply/screen.
smbhax mentioned the temperature method and it's a great way to add depth. It is a good trick, and definitely the easiest way to start shading with something other than a multiply layer.
Now, I'm not saying don't use layer styles at all... I make frequent use of the linear dodge, overlay, multiply, hard light, hur, color, saturate, basically any layer styles I think look neat for various lighting effects, but I use them strictly for lighting effects after I've done my shading and keep my shading to manual, hand-painted shading. I sometimes apply the lighting effect to the brush in Photoshop, which can be selected in the top bar, because this makes great highlights, for example, or I'll use a color on a multiply layer to deepen shadows, or a color layer transparent to neutralize colors that got really weird.
So, this is more or less how my shading technique works. Here, I make you a tutorial. I'm a painter, but the basic idea can apply to cel-shading too. Basically, transparent everything, pick new colors as you go, you can't go wrong with what colors you pick as long as you pick temperature contrasting highlights versus shadows because even if it looks weird you can fix it with layer styles later. Be confident because honestly, you can't really go wrong!
I also found this tutorial particularly inspiring when it came to being wilder with colors...
And oh yeah, I guess you might want this bit of advice because it does answer your question.
Draw a line across your circle and pick colors only from that line. Use one side for the highlights and one side for the shadows.
If you pick colors only in a straight line (warm to cool!) when you're starting out you'll always stick to the warm/cool ideal and always have a decent color pairing. This is "complimentary color theory". Then move on to triangles once you're confident with the basics of warm/cool contrast. You'll notice that I used three colors for shading... the first two were in a straight line across from each other and I triangulated into purple. This was a choice based on the triad color theory.
That's really basic color theory right there. Smack a triangle over a color wheel and pick what you like. Sites like this will help you visualize it and can be a handy way to launch into picking colors to start with.

Nothing specific at the moment, I'm just noticing a lot of pieces by other people that I can't really duplicate with my current methods, and it's frustrating that there's a lot of stuff I can't really seem to do currently.
Thanks for advice so far, guys, it's been very productive. I've got a lot of promising stuff to try now

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I don't have a lot of time lately.
So, an example of multiply layer. A bad one, because my brush control still sucks and I don't have the time to lay out the kind of thing Kail deserves.
As a caveat, I should point out that I use a lot of layers. I use different layers for every element of the process (pencils, ink, color, shading, highlights), and I use extra layers for effects and for the simple fact that I have no line control and often have to use a layer just so I can erase crappy work without endangering hours of labor.
That being said, here is my example of simple shading using multiply/screen. It's not as artsy as the example above, but I think it serves as an example that multiply is not simply a cel-shade technique if you have a passable eye and know what you want.
Okay, to begin, I plan my shading while I'm pencilling and still looking at my model. I do this by hatching where I want shadows (in a different color than my line pencils). Once my color layer is in, I create a shadow layer and a higlight layer on top of it.
I use different brushes depending on what I'm shading. I find an airbrush setting works well for skin, since it usually carries diffuse shadow edges. For hair, I use an air brush for general shading, and a pressure-to-thickness brush for details. And so on, depending on the surface material.
For the shadow color, I have to admit, I do not subscribe to the cool/warm philophy because it's pure bullshit. Shadows are the result of the dominant object color combined with the color of the ambient light. Highlights are the result of the directional light source and any surface (specular) colors in the object. For most surfaces, I use a 50% Black variation of the base color for the main shadow (that is, the shadow I mapped out earlier on my pencil work), and a 75% version for any secondary shadows. For every percentage point I go down in lightness, I go up one in saturation.
Highlights depend on the surface of the object. I tend not to highlight skin, because hightlights, especially hard ones, make th skin look waxy or greasy (the example above, with its blue skin and waxy highlights, looks to me like a drowning victim). Again, I use the base color as my guid, and alter the lightness and saturation to create the highlighting effect I need, more or less reversing the selection process for shading.
Again, any hard edges or errors in the shading of my example are the result of my own issues with brush control. I'm getting better, but Ihave a long way to go. They are not the intrinsic result of the multiply method.

The Hurricanes burst the Cheetahs bubble with a win more emphatic than the scoreline suggests.
The Canes won 39-34 but a more accurate reflection of the night was the 39-19 lead with just 10 minutes to go.
The Cheetahs scored two tries in a final flurry but trailed by eight points with a minute to go and had to settle for a last minute penalty kick to get a bonus point from the match.
The Canes, trampled by the Bulls a week ago, dominated the first quarter to lead 9-0 but lost ground as the hosts settled to change ends tied at 12-all.
A two try Hurricanes burst just after 50 minutes saw the match open up and 39 points were scored in the final 20 minutes.
The Cheetahs were disappointing and struggled for most of the match, despite having an abundance of possession.
Coenie Oosthuizen, with a brace, and Willie le Roux, once again impressed, as did Heinrich Brussouw and Robert Ebersohn, but as a unit the side lacked the mongrel that had saw them win seven of their 10 league matches.
The Canes were more physical than at any stage of the season and more clinical and clever in their approach. They played field position, the forwards were prepared to do the grind and the backs made maximum use of all opportunities.
Beauden Barrett kicked seven from nine and scored a try for a 24-point match haul.
Cheetahs – Tries: Coenie Oosthuizen (2), Robert Ebersohn. Conversion: Elgar Watts (2). Penalties: Burton Francis (4), Watts.
Hurricanes – Tries: Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito. Conversions: Beauden Barrett (2). Penalties: Barrett (5).

LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM provides unique customer realizations through comfortable, detailed, and informative service. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM strives to be a responsible business in all our practices and decisions; to us this means supporting the neighborhoods where we live and do business, our local economy, and our regional food system. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM aims to support sustainable agriculture and reduce the amount of waste we produce whenever possible. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM treats our employees as co-workers and we treat our co-workers as we treat ourselves. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM is committed to meaningful, comedic, and creative engagement with our community. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM is dedicated to making the best and weirdest Ice Cream in the world.
Our story begins in the winter of 2011 with former musicians and company founders Pete Angevine, Martin Brown, and Jeffrey Ziga. They conceived the idea of an Ice Cream company as the nexus between their past creative lives and their future.
"Unique flavors we wanted to eat and a unique experience for the people we served."
They scooped their homemade Ice Cream from "The Flavor Blaster One", a customized tricycle, a mobile fun zone, joy on three wheels. They played their Music For Ice Cream. "Step on up to the Ice Cream Shop." Yes, we can ride it. Yes, we rode it here. Yes, it's heavy. Yes, we love what we do.
In the spring of 2012, they built three additional tricycles, named "Gold", "Silver" and "Black" and began extended service throughout the greater Philadelphia at concerts, festivals, farmers' markets, movies, birthday parties, weddings, office parties, and more.
In the early summer of 2012, they began distributing their Ice Cream in pint containers to select retails in the Philadelphia region.
In the late summer of 2012 on Friday, August 3rd they opened up their first shop called "World Headquarters" located in the East Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia at 2311 Frankford Avenue.
In the spring of 2013, on Saturday, April 20th, they opened up their second shop, called "Cedar Park Embassy" located in the Cedar Park neighborhood of West Philadelphia, at 4903 Catharine Street.
Today, we continue to scoop throughout the great City of Philadelphia and we continue our mobile operations throughout the streets of Philadelphia and beyond. Our catering and events staff is happy to travel as far as the customer is willing to bring us. Our pints are available in a growing number of fine food retailers.
Little Baby's recognizes Ice Cream as a universal catalyst for joyful diversion to rally a stoked local community. We are happy to connect with the rich Ice Cream history in Philadelphia and link it with our unique vision for the future.
Be Easy! Stay Cold.
Community is important to us, we wouldn't be who we are without a little help from our friends. Here are some of them.

How Groovy works behind the scenes
With your Groovy scripts, you have multiple options on how to use them:
- run groovyc on them to create Java *.class files
- evaluate the script at runtime (either from a file or from a Java String)
- make your script available as Java Class-objects through the GroovyClassLoader (no *.class files generated!)
No *.java source files are ever generated.
All the above may seem like magic and it somehow is: the magic of imaginative, mindful software engineering.
Everything starts with the Groovy grammar.
There is the notion of the 'new' and the 'old' parser. Only the new one (as of Feb.05) is described here.
The Groovy grammar is written in terms of an ANTLR (= ANother Tool for Language Recognition) grammar. The tool can handle grammars of type LL(k), where the Java grammar is of type LL(2) and Groovy is of type LL(3).
The difference is in the number of tokens that the parser needs to look ahead for recognizing e.g. "==" (2 tokens for Java) or "===" (3 tokens for Groovy). To be more correct, the problem is in recognizing the first "=" character. The parser needs to "look ahead" to derive its meaning.
ANTLR formulates the grammar in terms of "rules" that fully implement EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form) enriched with Java code blocks, special functions and some other things.
With the recognition of a rule, actions can be triggered that come as usual Java code. ANTLR dumps out Javacode representing a parser capable to recognize the given grammar. And this parser executes the embedded code blocks from the grammar - the "action".
Parser Generation and AST
ANTLR takes the Groovy grammar file "Groovy.g" to create the Groovy parser. When the parser is fed with the source code of a Groovy script, it produces the AST (= Abstract Syntax Tree) that represents that code as a run-time structure.
Byte Code Generation
From the AST, it is possible to create Java Byte Code: either for making it persistent as *.class files or for making it directly available as Class objects through the GroovyClassLoader.
This ClassGeneration is done with the help of objectweb's ASM tool. (The ASM name does not mean anything: it is just a reference to the "asm" keyword in C, which allows some functions to be implemented in assembly language.)
ASM provides a Java API to construct or modify Byte Code on a given AST.
The API for bytecode generation heavily relies on the Visitor Pattern. The main entry point for the class generation is org.org.codehaus.groovy.classgen.AsmClassGenerator.java.
It is a large class. There are visitXYExpression methods called when converting the AST to bytecode. For example visitArrayExpression is called when creating arrays in bytecode.

As the budget stalemate in Washington led to this week's government shutdown, a lot of animal advocates have been left wondering exactly how this unusual event is impacting our nation's animals. Yesterday we told you about the shutdown's effect on puppy mill inspections, but the federal government has many additional routine animal-protection responsibilities. We've done a little digging and outlined how the following animal welfare-related duties are being altered during this shutdown:
Horse Soring
The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is charged with enforcing the Horse Protection Act to combat the abusive practice of horse soring. APHIS oversees the inspection of at-risk show horses to ensure that they have not been sored and assesses penalties for violations. Suspension of this program during the shutdown could mean that unscrupulous trainers will take advantage of this lapse in oversight.
Animal Slaughter
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) upholds the requirements of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act related to the treatment of animals prior to and during slaughter. This has been deemed a necessary function, so FSIS inspectors who monitor food safety and humane treatment in slaughterhouses continue to perform their duties during the shutdown.
Wild Horses
Federal agencies periodically round up and remove large numbers of free-roaming wild equines on public rangelands, a policy that has resulted in tens of thousands of wild horses languishing in holding facilities. Additional gathers are suspended during the shutdown, but caretakers for the horses already confined remain on the job.
Exotic animal exhibitors are regulated by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), and unfortunately, the welfare of these animals will go unchecked for the time being. However, the National Zoo in D.C., managed by the Smithsonian Institution, has retained employees essential to the security and the care of the zoo's animals.
Animals in Laboratories
The USDA enforces the AWA to ensure minimum standards of care for animals in laboratories. While employees are on the job maintaining the animals, there is no USDA watchdog ensuring that minimum standards of care are being met.
Hunting and Trapping
All National Wildlife Refuges are currently closed to the public, meaning hunting and trapping on these lands is prohibited for the duration of the shutdown. Federal law enforcement activities will continue on public lands to preserve resources and protect against illegal hunting.

Some good news for wild horses and burros due to the suspension of the brutal roundups but not so good news for circus and other performing animals!
The Republicans already okayed spending minus Obamacare, so Harry Reid and Obama can release the money and stop the finger pointing.
Oh Whoopee, good for the GOP's Bless their non-existant hearts. WOW
Seriously, the last bill the Republican House sent to the Democrat Congress covered ALL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, except Obamacare which had a one-year delay. Obama and the members of Congress rejected it and announced today that they REFUSE TO NEGOTIATE AT ALL, because they're "winning." Yep. Our lives, prosperity, safety, etc. is all a game to them. They're jobs are not to represent American citizens. Their jobs are to remain in office. Every American should stop affiliating with either party and know the facts. We are ALL getting taken for a ride.
Suzannea, you do not know what the truth is otherwise you would not be parroting fox entertainers.
The Affordable Care Act is A LAW. There is NO ifs, and or buts about it. It is done, over, finished, complete and a dang done deal. There is NO negotiations to be had on it.
The teagroups are using the less informed Americans to propagate insanity and it is working as I see you doing their bidding.
President Obama does NOT HAVE TO NEGOTIATE A DAMN THING. Understand? It is the teabags that are causing all of this misery and now more moderate republicans are starting to circle wagons around Pelosi to vote to pass a clean CR.
Up and until this is done boehner and the cruzbags will destroy anything they can. That is treason and terroristic behavior. Maybe you should contact your teabag rep and tell them to act like adults and stop whining like 3 year olds.
Risa, You are the one that does not know what the truth is. You are one of the lowest un-informed. Please educate yourself.
Suzannea your are so right on.
Yeah, a law illegally steamrolled through!
Wait till you see how much Oblamacare is going to cost you, and everyone else with greatly increased premiums. I already know because my husband and I calculated it out. We'll be lucky if we have money left to feed ourselves, let alone our companion animals!!
Thank you for speaking up. Too many people do not pay attention to facts. Obamacare sounds great because lots of people ache for cheaper and affordable rate, but they will be disappointed. Lost coverage with two insurances on account of the high demand on them by the government. It has to be stopped and a fair plan put in place. If it means a government shut down, so be it. Please get a list of all places which are still open and which are not. You will find it is not fair and those in DC know which ones will result in a public outcry and are chosen. Instead of giving prizes to kill shelter maybe the ASPC could more actively fight puppy mills, cruelty to animals etc and help the animals.

MADISON – For over a year, two Boone County pharmacies have been under investigation for selling an extremely high volume of narcotics.
A few weeks ago, the Boone County Commission signed a lawsuit with two Charleston law firms against these two pharmacies allowing attorneys to proceed forward with the investigation.
But a change of heart by Commission President Mickey Brown has led to dismissal of the suit, following a meeting of the County Commission last week in Madison.
Although Prosecuting Attorney Keith Randolph clearly disagreed with the Commission decision in the matter, the Prosecutor said he understood the Commission had a right to act as it did.
In presenting a proposal to start the investigation last year, Charleston lawyer Jim Cagle told the Commission that drug-trafficking is an "epidemic" in Southern West Virginia. At the August 21, 2012 Commission meeting in Madison, Cagle spoke on behalf of himself and fellow Charleston attorney Rudy DiTrapano.
Cagle laid out the reasons he and DiTrapano felt a lawsuit and investigation were called for. One of the primary points made by Cagle during his lengthy presentation was that "out-of-state" firms, such as chain pharmacies were more or less a partner in illegal drug trafficking.
Cagle said pharmacists have an absolute right to refuse to fill any prescription that "looks suspicious." He went on, "two components of this illegal drug trade are the users and the physicians who prescribe too many or inappropriate drugs." Cagle described some doctors as operating "pill mills" and said they have to have "cooperating pharmacists" to complete the transaction.
While targeting out-of-state pharmacies may have been a noble goal for the Commission, minds were changed when Commissioners learned that two local pharmacies were being targeted.
Brown, who said he is a friend of both pharmacies involved, also said local physician, Dr. Ron Stollings, had told him a pharmacy has an "absolute duty" to fill any prescription written by a doctor. Stollings, who is also a State Senator, was quoted as saying targeting the locally-owned pharmacies was "a mistake."
Brown appeared to take the matter to heart at last week's meeting. While he said he recognizes "there is a drug problem in Boone County, spurring an increase in crime" Brown said he did not think the two local pharmacies were guilty of inappropriate behavior.
Summing matters up, Brown said he was "misled by the Sheriff, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) and the Prosecutor" regarding the matter. Brown said he could not support continuing legal action against the two pharmacies in question.
Proponents of the lawsuit, including various law enforcement, lawyers and citizens were in attendance attempting to understand the reasoning behind the Commission President's comments.
Randolph said after the meeting, where Commissioners approved withdrawing any lawsuit and investigation on a 2-1 vote, that he did not agree with the decision. "Still, I know they (the Commission) have a tough job to do and I won't criticize them for what they've done."
Randolph did say, however, that he took exception to Brown's characterization that he and the other law enforcement officials had "misled" the Commission. "I don't believe any of us did that," he said.
Brown and Commissioner Eddie Hendricks voted to drop the legal activities while Commissioner Atholl Halstead voted "no."
In the lawsuit that has now been dropped, but was filed on Sept. 3, 2013, the county named Larry's Drive-In Pharmacy, Medicine Stop, Inc., Meds 2 Go, Inc., Meds 2 Go Express Pharmacy, Inc., Alum Creek Pharmacy, and Trivillian's Pharmacy of Kanawha City, Inc. as defendants in the case and accused them of helping to cause and contribute to the prescription drug abuse epidemic in Boone County.
"These defendants have profited substantially from their participation in prescription drug abuse," the suit states, which has cost the county millions of dollars annually and destroys the very quality of life in the community.
These "pill mills," as they've been labeled in the lawsuit, disguise themselves as legitimate pharmacies, but in reality are contributing to the county's prescription drug abuse problem in a big way.
The suit alleges the "pill mill" pharmacy defendants have not acted in accordance with the law and accepted standards of care. They alleged they have failed to establish effective controls and procedures against the diversion of controlled substances; failed to design an effective system to flag suspicious orders; failed to operate a system to flag suspicious orders; and failed to report and inform authorities of suspicious orders.
West Virginia is one of the states with a hotbed of problems related to the illegal distribution of prescription narcotics.
Law enforcement and state and federal prosecutors have gone after users, dealers and over-prescribing doctors in an effort to combat the drug abuse epidemic.
Several of the defendants, however, claim these allegations are not based in fact and that their pharmacies are highly regulated by the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy and the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
Arlie Winters, Compliance Coordinator for the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy, says all pharmacies in the state are inspected every two years.
He confirmed that the state Board of Pharmacy has a very good controlled substance monitoring program with a detailed data base of all controlled substances being prescribed.
"A pharmacy can refuse to fill a prescription, but they must have a valid reason," he said.
Winters says the Board receives and investigates several complaints about pharmacies each year.
"Many are not substantiated and some are," he explained. "Those that are substantiated may face fines, other penalties and even the possible loss of their license in some cases."
Winters said there are 750 to 800 licensed pharmacies in West Virginia.
"West Virginia's pharmacies are very well monitored," he said. "The Board, along with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, keeps a very close watch on how much controlled substances are going in and out of West Virginia pharmacies."
Winters said the six pharmacies named in the lawsuit were not under investigation or found to be out of compliance at this time.
The lawsuit says the defendants name were "on notice" about the prescription drug epidemic and that prescription they were filling were being diverted to drug dealers, but it doesn't say what agency or individual put the pharmacies "on notice" or how they put them on notice.
They do say that Boone County' law enforcement community and prosecuting attorney's office estimated that most of their caseload is related either directly or indirectly to the prescription drug abuse epidemic and those agencies expend the greatest portion of their budgets to address crimes and investigations that are related to the prescription drug abuse epidemic.
However, the pharmacies claim they are regulated by the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency and are not under any investigations or have never been notified of acting contrary to accepted standard of care by either agency.
"Would it not be fair to say that one of these agencies (the state Board of Pharmacy and the federal DEA) would have investigated us or substantiated some type of wrongdoing prior to this lawsuit being filed?" one pharmacist whose pharmacy is named in the lawsuit said.
One person in the local law enforcement community called this lawsuit "a new strategy in the fight against illegal drug distribution."
"If the community or anyone else thinks we can curb this prescription drug epidemic problem without holding pill mill doctors and pharmacies accountable they are not living in the real world," he said. "We have to go after those in the distribution chain."
However, several doctors and pharmacists say they worry that frivolous lawsuits and over-reaching prosecution will hurt patients with chronic pain and drive up costs for everyone.
"These pharmacies are small local businesses in our communities and there are agencies that highly regulated them," one local doctor said. "Let them do their job and stop these types of frivolous lawsuits that do nothing to address the real issues and problems of prescription drug abuse."
On September 6, 2006, the DEA published in the Federal Register a Policy Statement, Dispensing Controlled Substances for the Treatment of Pain. The purpose of the Policy Statement was to make clear the longstanding requirement under the law that physicians may prescribe controlled substances only for a legitimate medical purpose in the usual course of professional practice.
"In no way should this interfere with the legitimate practice of medicine or cause any physician to be reluctant to provide legitimate pain treatment," the DEA said in the statement.
The DEA goes on to say that the law does not require a pharmacist to dispense a prescription of doubtful, questionable, or suspicious origin. To the contrary, the pharmacist who deliberately ignores a questionable prescription, when there is reason to believe it was not issued for a legitimate medical purpose may be prosecuted along with the issuing practitioner, for knowingly and intentionally distributing controlled substances.
However, the defendants in this civil lawsuit claim they have never been prosecuted or investigated for deliberately ignoring a questionable prescription and follow both state and federal laws regarding the distributing of controlled substances.
It remains unclear at this time if local law enforcement or prosecutors in Boone County will continue with criminal investigations in this matter.

Max, a former champion living in Arizona, was healthy and happy before his owner was forced to give him up.
As the deadly snow storms that have already hit the Great Plains illustrate, winter is coming. It won't be long before much of the country is buried under a blanket of white.
This is the time of year equine rescues, sanctuaries, and community hay banks serving needy horse owners stock up on hay for the entire winter. The ASPCA assists these groups through grants made possible by our members' compassion and generosity, ensuring that horses don't suffer and starve.
One such group is the Arizona Coalition for Equines (ACE), which received a $3,000 grant from the ASPCA in November 2012. These are just a few of the lives ACE was able to touch with that funding:
- Slammed by foreclosure on her home and forced to move after the death of her mother, a woman living on disability ran out of money to feed her two horses. She turned to ACE for a helping hand, saying she would rather feed her horses than herself. ACE responded with a month's worth of hay and settled her unpaid feed bill, giving her time to get back on her feet. Her horses remain in excellent condition.
- A disabled veteran on a fixed income asked ACE for help when his horse became unable to walk. Sometimes feeding his horses before himself, he was desperate to get veterinary care but unable to pay the upfront costs. With ACE assistance, a veterinarian did a complete examination and diagnosed thrush, a front hoof abscess and a possible pelvic injury. Treatment provided immediate relief.
The greatest success story belongs to Max, a 30-year-old former champion show horse (pictured) who had been owner-released to a commercial stable due to financial hardship. His former owner was devastated when he went to visit Max months later and found him close to death—he had been left to starve. The man reached out to ACE, which rescued Max and covered the cost of his foster care until a new forever home was found.
As you budget your holiday spending and pick out the perfect gifts for everyone on your list, please remember the horses—as well as the cats and dogs—who are out in the cold this winter. If you haven't done so lately, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA today. You'll assist animals like Max who are bracing for winter and waiting for our help.
When ACE rescued Max from a commercial stable, he was emaciated and starving from severe neglect.
I think that the owners of that facility should be denied food and see how they like it!
The problem with turning the conditions back on them is that it makes us no better than them. The important thing is to care for the animal and improve its quality of life. Let God take care of the rest.
These people & facilities should be held accountable. The name &/or names should be put onto a public list & be constantly updated. (Everyone says there are no jobs, here are some to be created). A picture of them the perps would suit too. Why not embarrass them - these are crimes & inexcusable. Do the crime, pay the time. As for their business, they should be evaluated for a specific amount of time & the findings also be made public. After a specific time period of checks these people shouldn't be dropped off the radar. There should always be random & unknown visits - this should apply to all types of business involving animals. If the service they advertise & sell can't be supplied & kept at what should be national/state standards then it should be dissolved/sold. We pay taxes for some really lame things not to mention even research. Many laws are antiquated or lame. I'd be happy to pay taxes for these people to be put away & hopefully deal/learn from the consequence. They shouldn't just sit there either, they should have to work for their existence - food, etc. The best scenario - they are made to live out at least a week or more the same way these poor animals do by their hand. That would be justice.
Cheri, I find your answer most acceptable. Another manner in which these animals can be helped is plain out stealing them, rejuvenate them and then find a forever home. I have stolen three, though that is not near enough. I can't do too many more, am too old to climb/cut fences or fend off watchdoge.
Are any of you willing to take my place? I am 70 now, and can't do more. PLEASE!!
if i had a big house i would put my horses in the house and not let them go hungry
The place where Max was giving to if they didn't want to take care of him why didn't THEY call the ASPCA, damn I so getting to hate humans. We are the most selfish and cruel creatures on the planet.
How could anyone with half a brain feed horses all around one that is starving and not give it at the very least a flake of hay?? It is just beyond my comprehension to believe that someone would be that ignorant. Thank God that the owner stopped by to see the horse and thank God that there are organizations out there that can rescue them.

At 10:48 am on 17 April in Beijing, Greenpeace made a bit of history: we joined the first batch of around 50 rooftop solar PV projects that connected to the grid in China.
And to our surprise, we learned that our modest five-kilowatt solar system is actually the biggest rooftop solar power project currently in Beijing.
Our "system" is 65 square meters of solar panels at the new GP China warehouse in Shunyi, on the outskirts of Beijing. At full capacity on a day with clear weather, these panels will generate around 25 kWh of electricity. To give you a sense of scale, an average urban Chinese family consumes less than 10 kWh per day.
Geeky screenshot of the production monitoring system – the panels produced 61KWh in a little over two days, "it's a powerhouse!"
After the hurrahs, and true to Confucius teaching, we reflected on the lessons we have learned so far, and what it will take to unlock the future in China of rooftop solar – also called distributed solar.
The good news
We installed our solar system just six months after a decision by the central last October that allowed distributed solar installations to connect to the grid for free. We wanted to test out the opportunity and see how long it would take a small producer to do that. We've now demonstrated that it's doable within a reasonable time. For us, the approval process took only a month and a half, and installation, when we did it, only a few days. Our small solar success highlights a much more significant milestone in solar sector development in China – the enabling of on-grid distributed, or rooftop, solar generation.
Greenpeace is a front-runner in the renewable way outside China also. Recently, Greenpeace offices have installed solar in Senegal and India. Rooftop solar offers households, small organisations and businesses the choice to be powered by renewable, especially when getting clean energy from electricity utilities is a problem, as it is in China and many other developing countries in Africa and Asia.
Greenpeace Germany is at the other end of the spectrum. There, renewable campaigners actually set up an independent company, Greenpeace Energy, an established renewable utility, and a recognized innovator in the German renewable industry.
Unleashing solar
2013 is a turning point for solar energy in China. The current crisis of overcapacity in solar PV production is actually speeding up China's transition in domestic energy to renewables. To preserve jobs and ease the restructuring of the solar industry, the government has set ambitious renewable targets for its domestic market. The solar target for 2015, revised four times in two years, has soared from five GW to 35 GW, including a target of 10 GW for rooftop solar.
Making it possible to connect to the grid is a crucial first step – but a few key ingredients are still missing to really unlock the future of rooftop solar in China:
Feed-in tariff stability
Small producers are still at a significant disadvantage, only able to sell their surplus electricity at 0.35 yuan / kWh (5.65 US cent/kWh), well below the feed-in tariff (FiT) of 1 yuan/kWh for large concentrated-solar farms.
Innovation in solar financing
Get citizens involved in energy decisions
China needs to find answers to all of the above to create an attractive price and market for solar power. These same ingredients enabled Germany to connect its one-millionth solar PV installation to the grid in 2011, with solar producing 10 percent of Germany's total electricity in 2012.
And given this is China, let's see how quickly we could reach this.

Andrew Rannells is Sassy and Sexy on 'Girls' – The Daily Swoon
The countdown to the season two premiere of 'Girls' on HBO continues with Andrew Rannells, who plays Hannah's snarky gay ex-boyfriend Elijah. And though he's kind of a jerk sometimes, we can't resist that smile.
Rannells plays Elijah, Hannah's ex-boyfriend from college who came out of the closet right after they broke up — ouch, right? But as much as Elijah can be catty and snotty, he ultimately is a good friend to Hannah, and someone who continues to maintain a special place in her life. We'll see more of their relationship develop in season two.
Rannells comes from a stage musical background, with his critically-acclaimed role in the Broadway musical 'Book of Mormon,' written by 'South Park' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. He also stars in the Fox TV series 'The New Normal' as one half of a gay couple with fellow sexy man Justin Bartha. That series was created by Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind 'Glee' and 'American Horror Story.'
If you want to know a little more about Rannells, you can follow him on Twitter. We've included several photos below for your browsing enjoyment, and one very special GIF from his small role in last year's indie comedy 'Bachelorette,' in which he plays a stripper. So, you know, enjoy THAT.

Utilizing Your Space
Once you've made your decision about what to grow, keep an eye out for key words like bush, compact, space saver, and dwarf to limit the size of the plants you bring home. Think about choosing varieties that can be grown upwards on support rods or poles to save space or if you are extremely limited on ground space, you might want to invest in a container garden. You can grow vegetables in flower pots, pails, buckets, wooden boxes, window planters, washtubs, large food cans or almost anything that can have holes punched through the base for drainage of excess water. Many of your favorite salad ingredients grow very well in containers of all shapes and sizes and different varieties can even be grown together in the same pot, so you shouldn't feel limited in choosing what to grow. Cucumbers, eggplant, green beans, green onions, leaf lettuce, peppers, radishes, tomatoes, carrots and squash are just a few of the tasty veggies that flourish in containers. You can even bring your garden inside by planting small things like herbs in containers on your windowsill. This gives you the option to keep growing fresh plants even in wintertime.

Keo.co.za brings you the latest from the Springboks' end-of-year tour.
Beast misses training – Beast Mtawarira sat out of Monday's training session due to a knee injury incurred in the Boks' defeat to Scotland. The decision on the prop's availability will be made later in the week.
Should Mtawarira fail to pass fit, CJ van der Linde will be considered as a replacement. This would lead to Coenie Oosthuizen coming onto the Bok bench.
The team for Saturday's Test is due to be named on Tuesday.
Poms buzzing ahead of Bok clash – England No 8 Nick Easter says his side is feeling confident about the coming tussle with the Springboks. England beat Australia two weeks ago, and despite a lacklustre showing against Samoa, he felt there were positives.
'We'd created chances but had not nailed them,' Easter wrote in his Daily Telegraph column. 'We did in the second half. In many ways, we'll get as much from this as we did from Australia. We'll have to bring the best of both performances to beat South Africa.
'I've played against them five times and lost the lot. England have lost their last six against them. Trust the Scots not to do us a favour. It'll be a wounded Boks who come to Twickenham. It'll be a full-blooded affair. It always is.
'We want to finish on a high note. It would put a dampener on the autumn if we don't manage to do that, difficult as it will be. We've got to make the most of these moments, all the more so as this is the last chance we get to clock a win against the southern hemisphere before the World Cup.
'There's a buzz in camp. We're very much up for it.'
Matfield regrets poor tactics – Springbok captain Victor Matfield said his side employed the wrong approach and that contributed to a crushing loss to Scotland. The Boks tried to run the ball, even though atrociously stormy conditions prescribed a percentage approach.
'There has been a lot of talk about us needing to be more expansive in our approach and maybe we paid too much attention to that,' said Matfield. 'These weren't the right conditions to play expansively, and we made too many mistakes in our own half that Scotland were able to punish instead of us getting the ball down into their territory and playing from there.'
Bok coach Peter de Villiers defended his decision to sub goal-kicking machine Morne Steyn for Pat Lambie in the second half. Lambie went on to miss a crucial kick.
'If we look at the Morne Steyn incident in isolation then it might have been a mistake, but if you look at the bigger picture towards next year's World Cup then you have to say that the players need to get experience of playing in these conditions,' De Villiers offered.
Poms take aim at Boks – Despite a disappointing showing against Samoa, England are feeling confident about the coming clash with the Springboks. Manager Martin Johnson wasn't satisfied with the performance against Samoa, but said the fact that England ground out a win was important.
'We had to keep our composure and keep on playing and it was a good experience for them,' said Johnson. 'I think we've clearly taken steps. This week was a new experience – not all of it good, but in a sense it is good because things like not finishing, going behind in the second half, are all ultimately good experience.
'We've got one big shot at the world champions next week. Everything about us has got to have a little bit more intensity and accuracy. If we'd got that against Samoa we could have scored two or three more but we didn't.'

Side-by-side, the Marines and sailors of Camp Lejeune celebrated 26 promotions to the rank of chief petty officer Friday morning at the base's theater.
With more in attendance than the number of available chairs, the ceremony began with the selected sailors marching toward the stage bellowing Anchors Away followed by the recitation of the Sailor's Creed, which nearly everyone in the audience also chimed.
"Every bit of effort I put into my career leading up to this point was well worth this moment," said Navy Chief Petty Officer Brian Motley, 37, of Hubert. "You may hit speed bumps and challenges along the way but after 17 years, for this to happen is phenomenal. To be here right now is a dream come true."
The selection process for the chief petty officers began with a test in January.
If the sailor did well enough on the test, their service record book was then reviewed by a board of master chiefs. The packages are screened and the best applicants are selected. Once the sailors are selected, they begin a six-week program of academic, physical and mental training by a current chief petty officer to wear the rank's golden anchors with honor, Motley said.
"When I found out I was selected for chief, I nearly lost it," Motley said. "You anticipate the results for so long, but when they came out, it was huge for me. I was excited and anxious at the same time. It's difficult to get selected."
For Motley, the best part of the training came when the master and senior chief petty officers shared their sea stories, which made the lessons realistic and understandable, he said.
While the training included extensive physical activity, it was more about developing leadership skills on and off the pavement, Motley said.
"The hardest part of the whole process was mentally preparing myself to be a chief," Motley said. "As a petty officer first class, I thought I knew what chiefs do, but you really don't know. This was a very eye-opening experience for me."
The chief-selects also took part in community relations projects, such as car washes and fundraisers.
They also were taught about career development boards, which are when you sit your sailors down and help them navigate the Navy and be as successful as possible, Motley said.
It took more than the pinning and ceremony for Motley to fully comprehend the magnitude of his promotion, he said. It took the narrator reading the Chief Petty Officer's Creed for it to sink in.
"Wearing these anchors means I get to carry on with years of tradition, honor and loyalty," Motley said. "They're heavy for sure. I plan to wear them proud."
Chief Petty Officer Jordan Brown was Motley's sponsor.
"I remember the day that I was pinned a chief," said Brown, 35, of Jacksonville. "This is a tradition. It's heritage. Being up there as their sponsor, you get to be part of making them a chief. I'm so proud of them and everything they have accomplished in the last 6 weeks."
It wasn't just Motley who learned new things. Brown learned something too, she said. She learned patience most of all, but also learned that everyone needs to be mentored and taught new things.
"Before the ceremony, I couldn't help but think of the ones who have come before us," Brown said. "This ceremony brings everyone back and rekindles their pride for being part of the Navy. These new chiefs are now part of another family, a great family."
When the Marine Corps and the Navy host special events like this it's about the building of relationships, confidence and respect all the while celebrating the core values of the Navy, which are honor, courage and commitment, according to Ed Moreno, the Naval Hospital's command master chief, 46, of Cape Carteret.
"When leaders are up there being recognized it isn't necessarily for them," Moreno said. "Today is about the families and those that support these sailors. It's for all sailors to realize that without these sailors we wouldn't be able to accomplish the mission. ...It's also to remind everyone that your character and professionalism both in and out of uniform is what makes the Navy better."

ALTAMAHAW — R.D. Smith's climb through the pack became as much about passing the cars in his path as racing the weather in the sky.
The Burlington driver reached the front in time, with the wet stuff looming, to win the rain-shortened Late Models feature Friday night at Ace Speedway.
Eighty-six of the 100 scheduled laps were completed before the rain intervened.
Smith steadily overcame a starting position of 10th in the 13-car field and led the final 19 laps to collect his second victory in a row, third win of the season and the first-place prize of $2,000.
With the wind picking up and a downpour seemingly imminent — not to mention his race team keeping track of the weather — Smith knew go-time was arriving at a sooner-than-expected rate.
"One of my guys, he was watching the radar," he said. "He told me there was rain in the area. He thought we needed to move a little bit quicker than I had planned to."
Snow Camp's Gary Causey, one of the race's four leaders, placed second. McLeansville's Dustin Rumley finished third, followed by Burlington's Dean Fogleman in fourth and Pelham's Barry Beggarly in fifth.
Rumley and Fogleman rallied after getting swept into an opening-lap mishap that peeled away the right-front fender on Fogleman's No. 71 Chevrolet and left several other cars damaged.
Smith's No. 16 Ford needed about 30 laps to crack the top five running order.
Afterward, as the rain pelted crews in the pits, Smith, who sits atop the division points standings, said he tried to maintain a patient mindset while working out of the early hole created by his underwhelming qualifying performance.
"The car was just steady," he said. "We weren't dominant fast or anything. But we were able to just pick them off one by one. They kept coming to us, and it just kind of fell our way."
By the 50th lap, with lighting crackling in the distance, Smith was stalking Pelham's John Moore for the lead and sensing a shrinking window of opportunity.
His team, technology at their fingertips, relayed growing concerns about the weather. On the 68th lap, he delivered the winning pass on Moore.
"My guys are a little bit savvier than they look," Smith said, smiling. "We're on top of things maybe a little bit more than you might think. We were watching all that.
"John Moore was especially tough. For a few laps there, I wasn't sure if we were going to get him or not."
Misfortune struck Moore on lap 85, moments before the rain came in full. The right-front tire broke off his No. 4 Chevrolet, shooting sparks and sending the tire bouncing around the track's fourth turn before eventually dribbling into the pit area.
Moore was in line to be the runner-up until that dose of tough luck dropped him to a 10th-place finish.
Much earlier, Burlington's Robert Turner had the makings of a promising night turn sour. His No. 13 Chevrolet ran in the top five from the start, led two laps and was operating in second position when a crippling engine problem occurred on the 25th lap.
In qualifying, Fogleman's run of 15.914 seconds became the quickest lap, ahead of Causey (15.973), Turner (15.994), Rumley (15.998) and Moore (16.028).
Smith's best lap of 16.160 seconds slotted him deep in the field at the start and required him to navigate traffic while climbing the running order.
"We just were able to keep a lot of grip in the car and just kind of get them one by one," he said. "The car stayed under me all night and had good forward bite."
-- In the 30-lap Modifieds race, Speedy Faucette recovered after being swept into one of this bruising event's many skirmishes and ultimately emerged as the dramatic winner of a wild experience.
A pass of Jerry Scott with less than two laps remaining allowed Mebane's Faucette secure his first career victory in the Modifieds division. And with six caution periods and subsequent double-file restarts — a rugged four of them were stuffed into the final 10 laps — it required an abundance of resilience.
"I felt like a ping pong ball the way they was bouncing me around," said Faucette, the former two-time champion of Ace's Late Models class.
Corbett Ridge's Jerry Scott, digging for what would have been his third win in a row, placed second. Mebane's Roy Cook came in third among the nine-car field to pick up his best finish of the season.
Faucette, driving the No. 10 car, led 12 laps until a chain reaction on the 20th lap — Randy Butner's No. 71 car knocked Scott's No. 88 into Faucette as the pack stacked up in turn four — dropped Faucette toward the rear of the field.
Scott, the race leader early and then again late, appeared determined to deny all comers.
Walnut Cove's Burt Myers, the decorated champion from Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, charged on the outside during a restart with 10 laps remaining. Scott's car steadily squeezed Myers's No. 4 higher and higher down the straightaway before contact in turn two knocked Myers out of contention.
With five laps left, Pfafftown's Butner looked poised to work past Scott. But Butner's pursuit hit a roadblock when the front bumper of his No. 71 car smacked off the rear of Scott's car. That contact left Butner displaced and immediately spun out by Faucette, who was on the move again and following closely in third position.
Two laps later, Burlington's Gary Young Jr., apparently irritated by Myers' pass on the outside during another restart, responded by wrecking Myers. That brought the race's sixth and final restart, which Faucette used to pull off the winning pass on Scott.
Gibsonville's Brian King, who entered the night with a division-best four victories and two points shy of Butner in the points standings, was absent.
-- Friday night's other winner at Ace was Mocksville's A.J. Sanders (25-lap Mini Stocks). Sanders, the Mini Stocks' points leader, started from the pole position, stayed out front and led every lap for his first victory of the season as the eight-car race went without the interruption of a caution flag.
-- The 40-lap Limited Late Models race and 20-lap X-treme Cars race were called off due to the rain.
Here are Friday night's results from Ace Speedway:
