Guest blog by Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations
*Updated 11:00 A.M. Wednesday, January 29*
After months of negotiations, the U.S. House Representatives voted Wednesday to pass the Farm Bill—legislation to set policy for many federal agriculture programs. Thanks to all who lobbied Congress with us, animals can claim important victories on two fronts in this legislation. First, the Farm Bill contains a provision to crack down on animal fighting: gruesome spectacles where gamblers wager on animals who are forced to fight to the death. Second, this legislation protects the integrity of hundreds of state animal protection laws across the country from the grievous threat of the King Amendment. The ASPCA applauds Congress for advancing its crackdown on animal fighters while handing a defeat to animal abusers in the Farm Bill.
The animal fighting language in the Farm Bill establishes the first-ever federal penalties for attending an animal fight and criminalizes bringing a child to one of these heinous events. Reflecting the language of the Animal Fighting Spectator Act (H.R 366 / S. 666), this provision creates liability for the individuals whose illegal wagers and admission fees fuel this cruelty. It also ensures that organizers cannot easily escape prosecution by hiding in the crowd when law enforcement arrives, since now everyone in the crowd will be breaking the law.
The King Amendment, named after its sponsor, Rep. Steve King (R-IA), was an incredible federal power-grab that could have prevented states from enacting many of their own laws regarding the production of any "agricultural products"—a term so broad that it can include farm animals, dogs in puppy mills, and even locally grown fruits and vegetables. The defeat of the King Amendment preserves the historic power of states to pass laws that protect the health and welfare of animals.
After today's vote in the House, the Farm Bill is headed to the Senate for consideration and passage.
The ASPCA Government Relations team has made passage of the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act and defeat of the King Amendment top priorities this Congress. We couldn't have achieved these victories without the members of our Advocacy Brigade, who sent thousands of emails to their Members of Congress about the animal fighting bill and the King Amendment.

I am so thankful for all of you that have worked so hard to get this to come about. Great work everyone. I may not be able to financially help out, but I can definitely use my voice and votes. Thanks!
Bravo to you and all of your hard work. The animals need your voices and your voices have been heard!!! I am ecstatic!
Thank so much for looking out for our loving animal they also got rights
So thankful to have found this, and to know that something is being done. My son was researching on the internet for his 4 H dog project, and had been sullen for the whole evening. Finally, with tears in his eyes he told me that and came across a title on the web "dog fight to the death", and this was through crazy amounts of internet filters. My heart is breaking that he has to know that such horrific things are done to dogs. Please, please keep up the good work on behalf of four leggers, they so desperately need advocacy!
How about the allowance of taking pictures of farm animals so as to see the abuse going on. Was that passed?
We are our animals voices & they continuously need to be heard - Thank you!
They need to pass a law to separate Companion Animals from farm animals. The USDA should not be in charge of the puppy mills. They allow them to get away with egregious acts of cruelty and end some of the suffering of untold animals.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful Cards!
These cards came out beautifully! I had them printed on the smooth paper, and the colors just look gorgeous! The pictures came out very clear, and the text was crisp and clear! I loved that I could incorporate nine different photographs in the design, however, I picked this specifically because I loved the Top 10 list idea! My only complaint about this format is that it is very difficult to get the pictures to fit in the way using the personalization mode. They don't adjust size or rotate normally, causing frustration when designing. Despite this, I've already recommend this format to a friend of mine to use for her upcoming cards!
Proud to use Magnetstreet
I love the quality of my Christmas cards, and was proud to send them to friends and family.
Excellent Quality
I've bought from MagnetStreet for the last 3 years because they have the best quality printing and paper stock.

Travel back to the Renaissance period during this half day walking tour that explores the renowned Italian city of Florence. This guided tour ensures that you visit some of the many landmarks and sites that have made Florence a global tourist hub, and one of Italy's most beautiful cities. This walking tour begins with a visit to the Uffizi Gallery, boasting some true masterpieces of art including Raphael's "Madonna of the Goldfinch" and Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Annunciation." The tour continues with a walk through the Signoria Square to marvel at the re-created duplicate of Michelangelo's statue of "David." Next is a visit to the elegant Ponte Vecchio, which translates to "old-bridge," dating back to 1345, this bridge was actually built to replace the once previous bridge structure that was unfortunately swept away during a vicious flood. Along either end of the bridge, take this opportunity to view, and purchase if you'd like, some of the many items for sale including souvenirs, snacks and jewelry. Your final visits on this tour include stops at the 14th century Cathedral Square to view the Duomo, the Baptistery and Giotto's Bell Tower. Pre-booked entrance fee to Uffizi Gallery included.

The shops and merchants on this street boast numerous "Objects d'Art" and furnishings that are sure to create an atmosphere straight out of the 16th century. Via del Tornabuoni is considered Florence's 5th Avenue, featuring shops lined with best quality leather products, elegantly expensive shoes, and modernly stylish clothing boutiques. It is here where you'll find all the "big brand names" products as well as the posh, and potentially upcoming Italian styles. Besides the traditional shops, Florence also boast some of Italy's best open-air markets including the centralized Market of San Lorenzo, the New Market located under the 16th century Loggia del Porcellino, and the Flea Market at the Piazza Santa Croce.
Visit the beautiful region of Chianti and immerse yourself in the picturesque Tuscan scenery that you have always imagined. During the tour, you will see the characteristic fortress of Monteriggioni and Castellina in Chianti. In Monteriggioni, you will find some shops specialized in typical Tuscan products, as well as elegant cafés where you can stop and enjoy a coffee or a gelato. The tour continues with a visit to a charming wine estate where you will take part in a guided tour of the wine cellars in order to gain insight into the various stages of wine production and in a tasting of the various wines that the winery produces, paired with samples of sliced cold meats, bruschetta and salami. Subsequently, the tour includes a second tasting of olive oil and wine in another typical cellar. Please note that shared tours can have up to approximately 50 people (depending on the number of people that have signed up for the tour on the particular day), and are carried out in a number of languages. The group may be divided into smaller groups so the tour is led in one language or kept as one larger group (in which case the tour will be led in various languages). This tour includes a coach or minivan with air conditioning, expert multilingual escorts, visit to the Monteriggioni fortress and Castellina in Chianti, visit to a famous estate with tour of the wine cellars and sampling of wines, oil and balsamic vinegar, snack with sliced cold meats and typical salami, opportunity to buy wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cheese and herbs.

For your added comfort, a representative will be waiting for you at the beginning of the platform with a sign with your name on it. Your representative will help you to coordinate meeting up with your private water-taxi driver and accompany you to your accommodation.
Meet with the English-speaking guide at the hotel. See the humbler side of Venetian life, in the narrow, tightly packed streets and squares of Santa Croce. San Giacomo dell' Orio, a focal point of this quiet and ancient quarter, is a beautiful parish church founded in the 9th century and rebuilt in 1225. You will view from the outside the campanile, the Basilica ground plan and Byzantine columns mixed with new elements and decorations from Gothic and later Renaissance additions. Walk along the neighborhood's 'palazzi' lining the Grand Canal until you reach Ca'Pesaro Museum, a palace built for the Pesaro Family and masterpiece of Baldassarre Longhena. Today it features a permanent exhibition of work by artists such as Bonnard, Matisse, Miro, Klee, Klimt and Kandinsky, in addition to works by Italian artists of the 19th and of the 20th centuries. Next, your guided walk will continue to the famous Rialto Bridge, passing through the lively Rialto market. Discover San Giacomo di Rialto, the original site of the oldest church in Venice, founded in the 5th century (outside visit). From the top of the Rialto Bridge, you will have the opportunity to see the magnificent view of the Grand Canal with its stunning palazzo architecture. Your guide will then lead you through the spacious square of San Polo where, as far back as the 15th century, it was the venue for festivities, balls and ceremonies. (Includes entrance fee to Ca`Pesaro Museum). There is an optional water taxi to return to the hotel.
Board a water-based taxi for this transfer from your hotel to the airport. The arrangements for this transfer can be made by the hotel's concierge.

"Melissa Field was extremely helpful! She was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! She kept me updated on the status of everything and provided timely correspondence. She took ownership for any problems I had and remedied them. I had the most amazing time of my life in Iceland and Paris! I would not have experienced everything without the help of Kensington Tours."

"All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day. Would recommend extending this package to 15 days for any future visits. The train to Edinburgh was super! Beautiful scenery and great steak pies!"

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

How times have changed. Last year, Revolution looked like it was the big hit of the 2012-13 season. Now, NBC has cancelled it, according to TV Guide.
Revolution revolves around the Matheson family and others who live in a world where there is no longer any power. The cast includes Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Giancarlo Esposito, Zak Orth, David Lyons, JD Pardo, Stephen Collins, and Elizabeth Mitchell.
Following The Voice, Revolution started out very strong last year but the numbers fell as the season progressed. NBC renewed it for a full season off 22 episodes anyway and relocated it to Wednesdays at 8pm. It's really struggled in that timeslot and this week fell to a 1.2 demo rating with 3.78 million viewers — an all-time low.
Not surprisingly, NBC has decided not to order a third season. There are two installments remaining and they will air on May 14th and May 21st. The final episode of ABC's Mixology will also air on the latter date.
What do you think? Did you stick with Revoluton? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled the show or renewed it for a third season?

Chocolate candy-melts become Diego's hair, while candies and fruit leather are used to create his smiling face!
Watch Diego only on Nick Jr.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place 24 paper liners in the cupcake pans. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide evenly between the prepared pans. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean; 18 to 21 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool 5 minutes. Invert and cool completely.
Line two cookie sheets with wax paper. Place the Diego Cupcake template under the wax paper. Melt the chocolate candies in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring frequently, until melted. Spoon into a resealable bag. Snip a small corner from the bag. Pipe an outline of Diego's hair onto the wax paper and fill in with the chocolate. Repeat with the remaining chocolate, reheating for a few seconds if necessary to make 24 pieces. Refrigerate until firm, about 5 minutes.
Spoon 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag; set it aside. Tint the remaining frosting a pale tan color and cover the tops of the cupcakes with the tinted frosting. Peel the chocolate from the wax paper and place the "hair" at the tops of the cupcakes.
Snip a small corner from the bag of vanilla frosting and pipe small ovals for eyes. Place the brown candies in the center. Pipe eyebrows and pupils with the black frosting tube. Cut out the mouth shape from the fruit leather and place on the cupcakes. Add the cereal pieces as Diego's ears. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
Excelente! That's an understatement!

The quality of the paper and image was average, but I didn't expect more since the price was relatively low. On that basis, I would recommend these save the dates as a good value. However, I was surprised by how small the save the date was. The dimensions on-line were 3.5 inches x 4.0 inches. Once I received them, I realized that is really small. Be sure to really visualize the size of the cards first!

Old world meets new in our timeless collection of vintage Save the Date Cards. Printed on our premium luxe stock, these Vintage Save the Dates will make a great first impression on your wedding guests.
I will enthusiastically recommend Love vs Design to anyone I know. I can't say enough good stuff about how easy they made this process of ordering Save the Dates! We are in the design field in Manhattan, and have so much going on that we just had to hand our Save the Date off to someone to design quickly for us - but we were nervous because we are picky! All I can say is WOW! I wish the design teams I work with were as responsive as these guys. They were quick to make changes (and we had a few because we wanted to see different color combo's and we changed some text). It is perfect, and it was done so quickly, that it was such a relief to check something off my massive wedding to do list with barely any effort on my part! Their attitude and helpfulness were beyond what I ever expected. Thank you, thank you, thank you Love vs Design!
Wonderful quality
From start to finish our experience was just above and beyond. We were really torn between save the dates and the staff helped us choose which one, which color etc. They answered questions fast and by fast I mean literally right away. They were always online for the chat options to ask questions. The quality of the save the date cards is wonderful. Overall I can't say enough. High quality product and service. I would recommend for all wedding invitations, save the dates etc...just wonderful.

OXFORD, Ohio –The Miami University field hockey team used a four-goal second half to break a scoreless tie and earn a 4-1 victory over UC Davis on Tuesday. Junior back Ali Froede scored the first two goals to lead Miami to the win. The RedHawks improve to 5-4 on the season, while the Aggies fall to 1-5.
"We knew that (UC Davis) was good on defense and good in goal, so we were going to need a lot of opportunities to score a couple of goals," said head coach Iñako Puzo. "Before the game I was a little afraid of how my team was going to react to resistance from UC Davis, because I knew we would get that resistance. I think my team came away with a victory because they reacted well, kept working hard and never gave up."
"I thought it was about never giving up," added senior goalkeeper Sarah Mueller. "We had to play our best for 70 minutes and feel we ended it as we started off, without any lapses."
Despite Miami outshooting UC Davis, 12-2, and having an 8-1 advantage in penalty corners, the first half was scoreless. Senior forward Emily Gruesser and freshman midfielder Carla Romagosa each had great chances off penalty corners, but each was stopped by Aggie goalkeeper Danielle Herrington.
The RedHawks finally broke free in the 44th minute. After earning a penalty corner, senior midfielder Jordan Long found Froede for a tip-in to put Miami on the board. Less than four minutes later on another penalty corner, junior midfielder Gabby Goldach found Froede on a similar play to make it 2-0.
In the 61st minute, junior midfielder Valentina Neira brought the ball deep into the circle. She passed it backwards to Gruesser who wound up and found the back of the net from the top of the circle. UC Davis got on the board in the 63rd minute, but Miami completed the scoring in the 69th minute when Romagosa passed the ball to Long on the left side of the circle after an initial shot by senior forward Alyssa Logan was saved.
"UC Davis was a good team that put up a fight," said Froede. They have a great goalkeeper that really put us on our toes. But we kept getting opportunities in our circle and did not give up, even if the opportunities were not going our way."
Miami outshot the Aggies, 26-9, for the contest. The RedHawks finished with a 15-3 advantage in penalty corners. Dechant led the way with five shots, including three on goal, while Mueller made four saves in goal.
Miami returns to action on Friday when it heads to Bloomington, Ind. for a pair of contests. Miami will take on host Indiana Friday at 3 p.m. The RedHawks conclude the week with a neutral-site contest against eighth-ranked Penn State on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Vhan's Sketchbook.
Thanks for checking my sketchbook! This is my first one here on the forums, and I hope that I can get as much advice here as I can to get better. I have been working a little bit in a 3D program when I find the free time, but I spend most of my extra time with a pencil-n-sketchbook. My new favorite is chineese brush painting, I JUST started!

A little side note, those two "chineese brush paintings" are my two VERY FIRST!
February 15th, 2008 #3
You're very good with the human body. Maybe on the woman you can add a bit more musculature. Not all women are perfectlt soft with no muscle what so ever. So define the muscle abit more like on the leg thats crossed.
Your Chinese Brush paintings are very good for your first. You just keep working and put up more! He he.
Good work!!
(Also sorry if my advice is something you don't want to hear. I'm really more of a photographer but I draw some and I am a woman....so it does annoy me sometimes when men draw women perfectly soft with no muscle showing where there should be.)
February 15th, 2008 #4
Thanks Glynn,
Perfect woman-isn't exactley my style either so I enjoy the advice!
Thanks for stoping by! I'm going to try and update my SB next monday!

Heya.. anatomy wise I feel that you'd benefit much more from studying the overall body proportion using a simplified human form (e.g. http://fineart.sk/photos/figure/026.JPG ) instead of the detailed skeletal studies.. stuff like how wide the rib cage is in proportion to the hips or head to shoulders for example.. rib_study.jpg has some flaws that would be easily fixed from knowledge gained from the general study of proportion.. that being said, I think your bone_study.jpg is pretty good tho..
using grids in portrait drawing is a useful method as well to train your eyes in seeing proportion errors.. analyse the parts in relation to each other - and not just using the grid to perfectly make a carbon copy of a picture.. analysis is key.. understand the structure of what you're drawing, and soon with lots of practice you'll be able to draw it off the top of your head..
Looking forward to more updates, cheers!
February 18th, 2008 #6
Thanks for stopping buy! I'll have to check that link out from somewere else, as my school has it blocked by sonicwall...bleh.
This is the only thing that I could draw this weekend due to a english research paper on violent video games!
Its not the best, expectually the face. But in the picture he had a pretty unique stance so it was a challange for me to get it right with that puffy coat, and the fur lineing. Overall there is a lot of conflict in my perspective, and that doesn't help either...I'll proabley work in it a little more in the future and post it again in the future!
February 25th, 2008 #7
I haven't had any updates, because I have been gone for allmost a week, but I promise to get some stuff posted again pertty soon!
February 27th, 2008 #8
your drawing keeps improving. plz produce more coz i recon u are geting closer to geting proportions right
February 27th, 2008 #9
Thanks for the comment phoenicorn, I'll be drawing as much as possible, but unfortunatily "as much as possible" isn't as much free time as I would like!
I'll work with it, right now I have actually been doing some work in my much negelected 3d program (I'm running lightwave) maybe I'll post a few of those up here later.
Chanses are good I'm just going to compleatley drop chineese brush painting, I'm trying to do way to many things as it is right now!
Ps- I'm really hateing charcoal! how can anybody use this stuff!? lol
February 27th, 2008 #10
hey thanks for stopping by my sb. your off to a good start here. i would suggest doing more anatomy studies and drawing more from life. try to make sure you get all the proportions and structure of the form right. i'd also suggest putting lighter lines down first until the picture is nearly finished because if you have to erase lighter lines will vanish much easier than really dark lines. possibly focus on taking a life drawing class. or just draw from life as much as you can. this website will also help you w/ poses and whatnot.
also i'd also suggest picking up either bridmans or a loomis book on the human body. both are really good for reference and to learn more.
To live is to create, to create is to live. Without art and music, I do not know how I would get by in my day to day life.

New 3d image "Gas Man"
I made this guy as part of Seedlings #2 Assignment on her "game industry" link/thread! I'll admint that I didn't spend my polygons as well as I should have...but overall I kinda like it! Feel free to crit!
thesadpencil-thanks for stopping by! and for the website too! I can't really take a life drawing class untill I get out of highschool, so I'll look into that at collage...but do you have any advice on a place I could hang out to draw from life? Resturants? Playgrounds? the Lunch table at school, any ideas on ideal spots would be nice. In my town there isn't a bus, or subway tough! I got a human anatomy book "Anatomy for the artist" but, apparentley is isn't as good as bridmans, I'll see if I can't find one of those the next time im at the bookstore!
March 6th, 2008 #12
N'other dump
Just some more random stuff I did. A couple of charcoals, but I don't think I'll be doing very many more of those, I just don't like the medium, and I don't see any reason to forse myself to like it at this point. A sketch of my DS, to get a handle on the tech side of drawing, and a REALLY bad figure study, that the only reason I'm posting is because later I can see more inprovement!

looking good.
Keep up those anatomy studies, and drawing from life; that's the best way to improve quickly. One thing that's fun and great practice is to hang out w/ a sketchbook at coffeeshops and draw the people sitting down, or ordering drinks. Parks are good too, or really any public place where people congregate. The tricky part is picking people who aren't going to move as soon as you start drawing...
The 3D stuff is a great start, but I think you might have better luck if you start with some good reference images and try to work in perspective view as much as possible (I find that working too much in the ortho views can lead to boxiness in the model, and other weird proportional issues.). Another thing I would recommend is closely studying the way light interacts with different materials such as cloth, metal, etc... This will really help when it comes to texturing your models, and creating the materials.
March 6th, 2008 #14
yeah man i'd agree with voxelfog good, your off to a great start! As boring as it sounds stick to reference pictures, people etc etc and copy them as much as possible. Make referencing your friend. After scribbling a thousand times you're bound to get better =)
Just draw your ass off. Whatever you do, don't -- stop -- drawing...
March 6th, 2008 #15
Really? For some reason I thought that useing too many photos for refrence (for 2d drawing) would stump you if you did it too much! thanks for getting that cleared up for me guys.
March 20th, 2008 #16
Nice start. However, while using references is great. Do NOT use them 'as much as possible.' Drawing from photos is a good substitute if you don't have access to much life drawing for one reason or another but you should always make room for drawing from your mind. Because at the end of the day, that's where your stuff will come from. Build your skills and memory with references, but these should only be to aid your drawings not to form them.
March 24th, 2008 #17
O, ok, thanks for clearing that up!
thanks PG, will do. thanks for clearing that up for me.

Vhan, thought I'll stop by and help ya, First I'll start off saying I'll like you samurai. I see your focusing on you anatomy. But I see proportion problems you need to work on. Look at Riven Pheonix vid (seems like he took all his lesson down but you can purchase em). Think of the body in basic shapes, but always, ALWAYS, be aware of proportions when doing them. The more your aware of proportions the easier it comes to you. Also practice proportions using photos will help, be 100 percent aware of them. Using lines, use rulers if you have to. Then move on to gestures and life drawings.
Good Luck!

Thanks for stopping by!
Ok, thanks, Looks like I'll be working with static poses for a while...
April 1st, 2008 #20
OK, updates comeing soon, nothing too impressive, but enoughf to keep me going. I'm going to go ahdead and drop some of my modeling because when I get to collage I won't be useing lightwave, and I'm gonna have to figure out maya, so I'll be focusing on my drawing now!
April 2nd, 2008 #21
Ok, some more of my random work. One page is just some random "goth" oriented things that I just drew to try and get myself more fammilliar with drawing without reference. Same with the wierd "tree house" thing. A charcoal study on male body musles, and that other really cool clean looking one of the samurai armor, yea, thats not mine origionally in case you cant tell i stole that from Soul Caliber
I'm also gonna pose a samurai I have been working on in the crit forum, so if you don't get enoughf criting me here tear me aprart there too!
April 2nd, 2008 #22
I deleted this post because my resolution was all funky, so lol, work on it later.

Thanks for coming by my book. I have to disagree a little bit with Perin. When you're starting out, you should just focus on practicing good "seeing." Take time and just really examine your subject. Only after drawing a ton of poses and human anatomy this way will you eventually be able to draw from your mind - the ultimate goal.
But to get there you have to draw from ref, so use it would be my advice.
For an example of exceedingly good seeing - check out Emily G.'s book. Crazy.

April 4th, 2008 #26
Good "seeing" huh...Yea, I can see that, and my lack of it. BTW, when I was looking at you SB your second picture, the one of the woman. If you happend to get that out of an anatomy book, then we have the same one.
And my drawing of that woman, on the black paper in white pencil, I think THAT is the same picture, and we both drew it...so I can see some major differences in our ability to see...wow...thats awesome...
Edit: its actually the 5th picture, the one were you said "dog ate my SB" Lol.

hehe, yup, that's the same anatomy book. That book has some really well lit photos of male and female models so keep drawing from it. Maybe draw every single photo out of it, but first actually measure everything. It's slow and cumbersome, but it will help. It's the technical practice I'm just starting for myeself, actually.
My Sketchbook:
April 4th, 2008 #28
Measure everything? I haven't treid that one yet, but I can see how that would help with gettting a little mental idea of porportions.
Lol, I'm going to be kepping up with you SB from now on, and try to work myself up into your level, or at least compare myself with you, anyway.
Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go study a few of your drawings, and compare them with mine
April 8th, 2008 #29
Ok, more of a rant than anything here.
Ok, so I have recentley decited that I was actually going to [wow check this out...wait for it..!] Actually take some time on my pictures, step away from my "rapid studies" and try to see a idea out from start to finish...
Unfortuneitley, I'm a noob so that means that I am extremely slow at doing this, so bear with me (I'm talking days here) =gulp=
Maybe this way I can actually get some things in my SB that are actually WORTH looking at
So, I'll be drawing "ideas" now, instead of "things" and hopefully the end result will not give you the urge to rip your eyes out, drown in your own blood and send me packing to deviantart in discrase.
-Thank you so far & I hope to get some things started soon...even if it is rather slow...
April 8th, 2008 #30
Good start, by recomendations would be, as you said, take more time to do your drawings, and second, try to make them "cleaner". Almost every sketch is blurred, and I think it is whatever you are using to actually draw them. Stick with a good old thin pencil for your studies. For my sketches, I usually use a mechanical pencil, since I can get in fine details with them.

|All Children's Hospital Takes Top State Honors For KidShapers Weight Management Program
All Children's Hospital Takes Top State Honors For KidShapers Weight Management Program
(July 15, 2005) St. Petersburg, FL – A program developed through All Children's Hospital to address the growing problem of childhood obesity has received top honors among hospitals statewide. The Florida Society for Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing presented its President's Award to All Children's KidShapers program at its 39th annual Mark of Excellence Banquet Wednesday night (July 13, 2005) in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
The FSHPRM President's Award recognizes a program that showcases the best of healthcare public relations and marketing in the state of Florida. One winner was chosen from 77 Mark of Excellence honorees in nine different categories ranging from Crisis Communications to Internal Publications. All Children's KidShapers program qualified for consideration by winning a Mark of Excellence in the Health Improvement & Community Partnerships category.
"We're very proud of this program," says Joel Momberg, Executive VP for All Children's Hospital Community Relations & Foundation. "The medical needs of overweight children have been a major health care concern throughout the country. We've found that the medical community and the families of the Tampa Bay area have really embraced our new innovative approach to weight management."
KidShapers, a weight management and fitness program for families, was developed by All Children's with input and guidance from a community-wide task force including representatives from the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the Pinellas County Health Department (Steps Toward a Healthier Pinellas) and the Pinellas County School System as well as staff from a variety of All Children's Hospital Departments. The objective was to provide a family-centered, behavior-based pediatric weight management program for overweight and obese children ages 8-12. Two approaches were mapped out under the KidShapers program umbrella; group sessions based at All Children's St. Petersburg campus and an individually based program to be offered at physician offices. Both are being piloted in Pinellas County, with intent to evaluate and expand the program to other areas currently served by All Children's Hospital.
Judging for the President's Award was based on planning, technical quality, cost effectiveness, overall excellence and results. Members of the Colorado Society for Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing evaluated the entries and assigned scores. All Children's KidShapers program was the only entrant in the state of Florida to receive a perfect score.
