Report: Red Sox to target free agent Harden
Dec 1, 2009, 6:27 PM EDT
A major league source told FOXSports.com that the Red Sox are serious about pursuing free agent Rich Harden.
Given the Red Sox tendency to favor upside over stability when it comes to short-term deals for pitchers, Harden always figured to be at or near the top of their list of potential pitching upgrades. Ben Sheets has to be viewed as another possibility for the team.
Harden will certainly command a bigger guarantee than John Smoltz and Brad Penny did last season, but he may well be willing to settle for a one-year deal. He could have a chance to make $10 million-$12 million through incentives next year, but it's doubtful that anyone will be willing to offer him that kind of cash in a two- or three-year deal.

One of the most obvious stories of the offseason. Harden and the Red Sox were absolutely made for each other. I'd be shocked if this doesn't happen.

Harden will really fill out the redsuk's DL list for them in "10
- CommonNow - Dec 2, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Without bats, and there don't appear to be any available, I am not the only Bosox fan who sees little hope for 2010. This is just another indicator… All of you that have issues with my viewpoint can ping me in Oct. 2010 when the sox are playing Golf…
- billybill - Dec 2, 2009 at 4:06 PM
I think the Sox want harden simply because,like Jason Bay,he is from British Columbia.As with the signings of Japanese players,the Sox would like to increase their fan base in B.C.Think of the hats, shirts,etc. they will sell there.Are any other players from B.C. available?

Harden=Penny Sheets=Smoltz That equation is old and did't add up the first time!!
What is needed….

To market in full terms of high-performance rather than price, and in order to differentiate consequently, you necessitate to watch the classic format of the 4 Ps marketing plan. That is, Price, Product, Place and Promotion obviously you recognise the deep attributes of the product, and the cost, but for place you should remember around the type of people who are willing to pay over 4x price of competing production whereas the cheap option may be sold where accent is on cost, your merchandise will be suited to places/distributors where the clients will be willing to pay for high-performance. Thank you for this article! I've just obtained a certainly open news blog about seo Test it!

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Heat Waves
Topic Overview
The National Weather Service developed the heat index to help people identify days when the risk for a heat illness is higher than normal. During a heat wave, the heat index is excessive for many days in a row. Everyone has an increased risk for a heat-related illness during a heat wave.
A heat-related illness can be more serious for:
- Older adults, who may not notice excessive heat, do not sweat as effectively, or do not feel thirsty.
- Small children, who can't transfer heat very well.
- People with chronic medical conditions.
- People taking medicines, such as heart medicines or tranquilizers, for serious psychiatric disorders or depression.
- People with weight problems.
- People with alcohol or drug use problems.
- People with mental health or developmental problems.
Other things that affect a person's risk for a heat-related illness during a heat wave include:
- Living in cities, because heat is trapped by tall buildings and air pollutants.
- Living alone.
- Not having cooling devices, such as fans or air-conditioning.

Founded in 1975, this lodge on the Tambopata River was one of the country's ecotourism pioneers, and dozens of biological studies have been completed in its forest. It accommodates tourists and visiting scientists alike in thatched-roof bungalows, and the selling point here is exposure to nature rather than comfort. It is one of the few lodges inside the Tambopata National Reserve, which can be explored on 30 km (18½ mi) of trails. Moreover, it offers exclusive access to the oxbow lake of Cocococha, which is home to giant otters, agami herons, and other rare species. The abundant wildlife provides ample reward for travelers willing to rough it. The minimum stay is three days/two nights.

Dustin Hoffman: TMZ and PETA Caused HBO to Cancel 'Luck'
Dustin Hoffman: TMZ and PETA Caused HBO to Cancel 'Luck'
Dustin Hoffman is still sore about the fact that his horse racing drama Luck was canceled before it reached the finish line.
In March 2012, HBO pulled the plug on the show after a first season that was mired in controversy over several horses that died on set. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals accused the producers of not taking proper care of their horses, and after a third died during the production of the second season, the drama, which was executive produced by David Milch and Michael Mann was canceled.
In an interview with Fox News, ostensibly to promote his directorial debut Quartet, Hoffman recalled the heartbreak of hearing the show, on which he starred as a horse betting baron, was canceled. He also blamed PETA and the tabloid site TMZ for spreading misconceptions about the treatment of the horses.
STORY: HBO Ends 'Luck' After Horse Deaths
"If you Google Paulick Report, it's a site for horse racing, and in that report is the real reason why the show was canceled," he said. "It was a collaboration between PETA and TMZ. It's interesting, sites like TMZ, they're mistaken for news. We did All The President's Men and you had to have two sources and they don't need any sources, they're gossip, but the general public believes what they say."
Hoffman continued, saying, "It still deeply wounds me, not for myself, not for the show, but the pain they caused 400 crew people to have and I don't think they lost a moment's sleep. It's completely distorted. Anyone who raises horses know they break their legs. The accusations they made were distorted. Every time we'd race the horses we'd rest them. They'd race 20 seconds, then we'd rest them for an hour."
TMZ responded to Hoffman's statements, defending its reports. "Truth is, the TMZ stories are in sync with what was reported on the Paulick Report," the site wrote on Thursday.
PHOTOS: Premiere of HBO's Luck
The Paulick Report's final statement on Luck did defend the show, accusing PETA of stretching the truth in the service of its mission.
"Despite the finality of what happened, I can't in good conscience allow the radical animal rights group PETA – and the journalists who faithfully report whatever the agenda-driven organization tells them – to have the last word on the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the three horses over the two-year period that Luck was being filmed," the site's owner, Ray Paulick, wrote last March following the cancelation. "It wasn't until the news cycle was several days old that PETA's outrageous claims of Luck using unfit, sore, drugged horses was brought into question by anyone... By then, however, the lies had been repeated often enough that people believed them."
When Luck went off the air, HBO also defended the treatment of the animals.

Smart batters Air Force in 4
Army keeps No. 2 Shakey's slot
SMART leaned on Alyssa Valdez in turning back first-round tormentor Air Force, 25-23, 22-25, 25-18, 25-15, last night at the start of the quarterfinal round of the Shakey's V-League Open Conference at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Playing only her second game for the team, Valdez came through with 25 hits as the Net Spikers fashioned out their fifth win in eight games to tie their victims at third spot.
It was the first loss in six games for Air Force, which yielded 24 points off blocks and service aces.
"We started slow but picked it up starting the third set," said coach Roger Gorayeb. "As much as possible we want to be No. 1 but we still have a long way to go."
Earlier, Philippine Army snapped Philippine National Police's two-game winning run with a comprehensive 25-13, 25-23, 25-22 triumph.
Slowly but surely regaining her lethal form, Rachel Anne Daquis fired 15 points for Army, matching the output of former Most Valuable Player Mary Jean Balse.
With the victory, the Army Women improved to 7-1 just behind Cagayan Valley and moved into a solid position to grab a Final Four spot.
The Lady Patrol-lers, the last team to reach the quarterfinals after beating Far Eastern U and Navy in their last two games of the eliminations, fell to 2-6, their hopes of reaching the semifinals suffering a big blow.
Unable to build on their last two victories, the Lady Patrollers showed little resistance in the first set, before Balse and Daquis took turns in puncturing their defense in the second and third frames.
Jovelyn Gonzaga chipped in 11 points for Army, which also drew a combined 17 hits from Joanne Bunag and Michelle Carolino.
Daquis and setter Tina Salak formed a virtual wall at the net as they helped neutralize Janine Marciano and Thai Patcharee Sanmuang who were held to a combined 22 points.

Adaptation: Shooting Script (03 Edition)by Charlie Kaufman
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
One of the most talked about scripts of the year, Adaptation is the story of an orchid collector (Chris Cooper), a journalist (Meryl Streep, as author Susan Orlean), and the screenwriter (Charlie Kaufman, played by Nicolas Cage) who, in adapting Orlean's bestselling book The Orchid Thief, writes himself and his twin brother (also played by Cage) into the movie.
In the foreword, written exclusively for this Newmarket edition, Orlean reveals her own struggle to tell the story of the orchid, and her delight that "strangely, marvelously, hilariously, Kaufman's screenplay has ended up not being a literal Adaptation of my book, but a spiritual one."
In a fascinating interview, Kaufman and Jonze take readers behind the scenes of Adaptation and their other films to speak about how they collaborate, where truth and fiction diverge, the challenges of balancing various storylines, why they do not like to comment on the meaning of their work, and Kaufman's approach to writing:"I try to write in the midst of confusion and be strong enough to stay there, rather than swim to the shore of some kind of conclusion."
Finally, screenwriting guru Robert McKee's commentary attempts to analyze Kaufman's work, identifying many of his themes including "that grand twentieth-century preoccupation with the Self."
In the acclaimed Newmarket Shooting Script® series format, the book includes the complete screenplay, Orlean's foreword, the interview with Kaufman and Jonze, McKee's critical commentary, 24 black-and-white stills, and cast and crew credits.
Based on The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean, including Commentaries by Susan Orlean and Robert McKee and an interview with Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze.
From the director and writer of Being John Malkovich—a film by Spike Jonze, starring Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep, from a screenplay by Charlie and Donald Kaufman about the adaptation of the bestselling book The Orchid Thief—an exciting new filmbook in the Newmarket Shooting Script® series. This latest head trip from director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich) concerns an orchid collector (Chris Cooper), a journalist (Meryl Streep as author Susan Orlean), and the screenwriter (Charlie Kaufman, played by Nicolas Cage) who, in adapting Susan Orlean's book The Orchid Thief, writes himself into the movie. The Orchid Thief tells the story of a Florida man who schemes to clone the "ghost orchid" and sell it to people all over the world who are struck with orchidelirium, the obsession with collecting rare orchids at any price. Adaptation: The Shooting Script® includes the complete screenplay, a selection of 20 black-and-white movie stills, as well as an introduction by Charlie Kaufman.
About the Author
Charlie Kaufman previously collaborated with director Spike Jonze on Being John Malkovich, which was nominated for the Academy Award® for Best Screenplay. Kaufman's other scripts include Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Human Nature, and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Arabesques, reality-style: Ballet hits pop culture
What that meant was shattering some of the stereotypes. One is that dancers are fragile creatures, like pretty ceramic dolls. What "Breaking Pointe" does very effectively is show that in reality, ballet demands an amazing combination of athleticism, physical strength, endurance and sheer grunt work. "People don't realize how down and dirty the work really is," says Sklute.
Showing how hard dancers work was a main mission for executive producer Izzie Pick Ashcroft. "Ballet dancers have a level of discipline that most of us could only dream of," says Ashcroft, of BBC Worldwide Productions. "And their fitness level is really quite shocking." Cameras tracked the dancers for six weeks, showing them training and rehearsing day and night, sometimes caked in sweat or breathless with exhaustion.
This being a reality show, however, plenty of time is spent on inter-company romances, especially the tortured are-we-or-aren't-we duo of Rex and Allison, whose troubles threaten to spill over into rehearsals, to the great concern of Christiana, the top ballerina, who's also married to a Ballet West principal dancer (the show accurately displays how insular ballet companies are.)
And though, unsually, 99 percent of the company's dancers are straight, according to Ashcroft, there's some equal time given to the one openly gay male dancer, whose ballerina friends take him to a gay bar to find a date.
Another theme that is highlighted and played to the hilt, "The Bachelor"-style: the competition among the contestants, er, dancers. It's all about moving up the totem pole: Corps dancers want to be soloists, soloists want to be principals, principals want to protect their turf and compete with each other for choice roles.
This is no "Black Swan" - the struggle for roles is not, at least yet, literally bloody - but still, the focus on dancers competing, a sure way to make dance-focused entertainment exciting, is a little troubling to some.
"What's ignored is the drudgery of the work," says New York dance writer Marina Harss. "They have to sex it up. It's the same with `Black Swan.' It's like every moment of the day is consumed with backstabbing. When I've been in studios, it's the opposite of that. It's work. It's not about perfection. It's, `Let's fix this.'"
Still, Harss says, it's easy to see why ballet dancers would become an object of interest in a culture that values youth and physical beauty (not to mention buff, hard bodies): "Dancers are the embodiment of what this culture values: Youth, beauty, charisma," she says. "I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner."
One former dancer is very pleased about the new spotlight on ballet: Meg Howrey, a former Joffrey dancer, wrote a novel about two professional ballet-dancing sisters that came out last month. She says she's hoping that "ballet dancers are the new vampires."
But Howrey does worry that the emphasis on competition, seen especially in the dance competition shows and also in "First Position," is teaching youngsters the wrong thing about the art form. "Are we teaching people what dance is about, or merely that 10 pirouettes is better than two?" Howrey asks.

Kitchens are more interesting as rooms when they are move away from fortress cabinets to open kitchen shelves.
Think of it this way: no other room in the house has furniture lining every inch of every wall, floor to ceiling, so why should the kitchen? I think it's time to let go of the "gotta hide it" urge and allow serveware, cookware and other accessories to be displayed as well as stored on open kitchen shelves.
These ten kitchens offer a variety of ways to approach open storage. And while many of the accessories displayed in these kitchens look carefully arranged (because they are styled for photography) a more casual approach is equally valid and practical.… Continue Reading

Revolutionary Scientific Serum Introduced with Limited Time 50% Off: Sublime Beauty's "Cell Renewal | Fibroblast Serum" with Growth Factors Creates Younger Skin
Growth factors in the new Sublime Beauty® serum tell the skin fibroblasts to make collagen, key to strong, vibrant skin. Collagen diminishes as we age and is a key factor to wrinkles and sagging.
St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) January 29, 2014
Sublime Beauty® introduces its high-end product, "Cell Renewal | Fibroblast Serum" this week, and includes a 50% off launch discount and informative 6 page report.
"Many of our clients are looking for the best topical technologies and serums for better skin," says Kathy Heshelow, founder of Sublime Beauty®. "These ingredients are taking the industry by storm, working at the cellular level. We offer a 6 page report all about the ingredients."
As part of the launch, Sublime Beauty® offers a limited time 50% off discount with coupon code FIBROB50.
Loss of collagen is a key factor in wrinkles, sagging and thinning of skin. The body has lost a minimum of 15 percent of collagen production and by age 60, it has lost 45 percent.
The key ingredient in the new serum, Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media, tells the fibroblasts in the skin to make collagen.
Scientists have done good work in wound and burn healing with this ingredient, and it has been widened to now include anti-aging skincare.
Sublime Beauty® focuses on skincare issues for those 40 and above, with popular products such as the Face Whisperer® line, the new Ageless line and foundational serums like Collagen Peptide and Retinol Serum with Vitamin C.
All Sublime Beauty® products including the new Fibroblast Serum are available on Amazon, as well as a new Amazon webstore launching this week (Amazon Prime benefits available.)

For Skin Care, Body Care, and Longevity a New Snack Food is Developed with Cosmetics Experts by Robert's American Gourmet.
"Because this low fat snack also contains ingredients for the skin, hair and complexion it is being made available at cosmetics counters in department stores as well as our regular food channels," according to Robert Ehrlich, founder of Robert's American Gourmet. See www.Robgourmet.com.
"The snack Vanity Puffs made from organic rice was designed by a team of herbalists, dieticians, aromatherapists, a Zen master, and a psychologist," says Ehrlich. Vanity Puffs will be available in department stores, supermarkets, health food stores and cosmetic counters nationally December 15th.
The Company has a cosmetologist on-staff to assist in the creation of the ingredients and behavioral steps, some of which are printed on each bag, with additional tips on-line from the Robert's American Gourmet web site, Robgourmet.com. The web site also provides an open forum for patrons to share their individual experiences with others, emphasizing the importance of vitamins, minerals and individual care through healthier snacking.
Ehrlich's approach to incorporating skin care ingredients in a healthy, tasty snack, is part of his company's long-term goal of "providing social benefits along with our products," says Ehrlich who gave up a career in 1986 as a Stock Trader to pursue his interests in the food and beverage business.
"Our snacks are creating big changes in America's social behavior," says Ehrlich. "Our consumers are eating Veggie Booty as breakfast, and Personality Puffs are now a lecture topic in some high school social studies classes as a way to communicate a social message through a product."
Other products include Ginkgo Biloba Rings(R), Echinacea Shells(R), Kava Kava Corn Chips(R), St. John's Wort Tortilla Chips(R), Cats Claw Crunch(R), Power Puffs(R), and Spirulina Spirals(R), Personality Puffs, Veggie Booty and Fruity Booty, and others.
Another snack coming soon is Confidence Chips, the potato chips that help you win at life with a host of tips and guidance designed by a clinical psychologist.
Robert's American Gourmet has also expanded its distribution in retail accounts as well and has become America's #1 Smoothie Bar Snack, being in such chains as: "Jamba Juice," "Smoothie King," "Juice Guys," "Eatzi's," "Frozen Fusion," "Juice World," "Tropicana," and others.
Robert's American Gourmet is the maker of other successful natural snacks including Smart Puffs, Grateful Puffs, Power Puffs, Potato Flyers, and others. "We make life changing snacks," says Ehrlich. "Snacks that have purpose and meaning."

Hey dude, great updates again. Those arm bones are a bit on the short side though
I'd strongly suggest that you get really, really confident with a simplified mannequin construction before going too in-depth with your anatomy studies. I recently found to my cost that I haven't absorbed 99% of the anatomy I've studied, because I had no scaffolding to hang information on. I was drawing, and getting better at drawing, but I wasn't internalising the shapes, masses, planes, etc. because I didn't have that underlying framework to hold everything together.
If that makes sense
It's a bit difficult to articulate. I don't mean framework as in an anatomically correct skeleton. I mean framework as in a simplified conception of the volume of the body in perspective.
Anyway, keep at it!

You're on the right track. However, BludHund gave you some very solid advice but I don´t see enough drawings of basic geo shapes yet.
Show us (from all angles and in different combinations): cubes, cylinders, cones, and flat circles. Don't draw these from imagination but find / build the real models. Use dinner plates for the circles (and the elipses they make in perspective), cardboard boxes as cubes, empty toilet rolls as cylinders etc.
The one thing I don't agree with BludHund on is his remark about concentrating on the bones. Sure they are important, but try to start with even simpeler masses. Don't focus on the details of the bones too much in the beginning. Read "Figure drawing: design and invention" by Michael Hampton if you want to get the best book on figure drawing. It blows the competition away in my opinion, even better than Bridgeman and Loomis. Edit: just saw you've already read that. Nice!
Also: do you draw from life models from time to time? This can really help your progress. It's harder than drawing from a photograph for some people, but don't underestimate the value of being able to walk around a model and thus really understanding the form. If you are already drawing people from life: ignore this last comment.
Post #85 has some cool studies. I hope this helps, keep it up!
Ps: the plane studies from post 61 look like an awesome way to learn and detect them. I think I'll try some myself.

Kapri: thanks man this is really helpfull advice. To answer I am reading through michael hampton chapter by chapter pausing to focus on that chapters important topics. At the moment I am strictly trying to stick to using c and s curves for gestures (started applying last night)
I did a still life of my digi cam yesterday and have been feeling that I need to do more shapes. Hence my flow chart thats has shapes as one targets for the month. This week will be dedicated to that specifically. As for drawing from life, I do from time to time. I really need to do more. Last month I used a ton of photos and not much life so I think I will focus on that to this month. Thank you for that sound advice man. Really hits home because its been stuff I felt I have been lacking.
August 7th, 2012 #94
thanks for the kind words on my SB, and glad I could nudge you in the direction of imaginative works a bit.
But you've inspired me to do more life studies! lol
Nice head studies man, that tracing is something I'll definitely try! I need it.
Keep up the studies dude, they're so useful.

Good work dude, that's how you do it! Keep pushing this stuff out man, you'll be rocking it in no time. AND, keep working at that colour, it's getting better, but there's still room to improve. Nevertheless, you know what you gotta do, keep going man!

hey dude, well, i see that you're studying a bit of everything ( drawing, painting, anatomy, values, colors, characters, enviros, etc ) but i suggest you to be more specific in your studies in order to improve faster ! for now you should draw a lot from life and study anatomy, and that's all, until you can draw the main body shapes from any angle, then, you'll see that learning values will be easy when you'll be able to draw well and see in volumes, so you're gonna improve even faster, etc ! that was my 2 cents, keep it up dude, and thanks for stoping by my sketchbook !

kikindaface I know what you mean. I feel like I don't have the right direction I have been to jumpy and haven't focused on just one thing. Although I am making a conscious effort to do more life studies. Another big issue is pushing things to a finished state.
I know of these flaws and yet I still fall into them. I need to take more time to do these studies also. And find interest in even the most mundane subject matter.
August 8th, 2012 #99
This sketchbook is coming along nicely.
I have the same problem you mentioned with the sticking with something till finish. If you are able to try your hand at painting traditionally, acrylic or oils, because it takes longer to get a painting to the same point as it is digitally, I find I dont get as bored of an image as quickly and it sort of teaches me patients.
Just my thoughts, dont have to listen to them
Keep up the studies regardless!

Hey Pete,
Looking good, but I've got a few suggestions for ya if you'll take em.
In that fifth image (the side-by-side comparison of the woman) the head doesn't really feel like a form in space, feels a little flat. If you're having trouble, remember to draw through the form and build from there. Also, take another look at the area right above the bellybutton. At the moment the overlapping you have going on shows a twist in the torso, but if you look reaaaaal careful you can see that the lower part (the hip section) is overlapping the upper part (the rib section) on both sides, not just the right side.
I'd show you what I mean, but I am just...awful with a stylus and nobody wants to see that. Keep it up bud!

Hey Pete! Great to see all the hard work you got it here. You've got lots of energy and drive! Please have fun in doing those works and try not to overwork or force yourself lol. You're doing great.
August 10th, 2012 #102
Jaik Yeah I totally want to Paint. I need a better setup and money for the materials. My set up not is probably really bad. Dinky ass desk with barely any arm room to move..But I manage.
Tim Murphy: Dude you are totally right!!!! Arrrrrgh! I realize that after you said something and after reading through Design and invention I feel even worse about that ha ha. Le'Sigh! Badk to the drawing board! Thanks for the tips.
LongJh Thanks man!
Ok Here is the stuff I have been messing with The last few days.
The Hampton studies I really need to try and apply moar! A face which needs some serious work. A few Still Lifes which I need more of also (NOTE PRACTICE SHAPES!) an imagination drawing. Nothing special and HANDS in PEN!
August 10th, 2012 #103
Thanks for welcoming me here. Bring on the studies you say? Shit, after browsing your sketchbook you better believe I'll be bringing'em! Seriously, you've got an inspiring sketchbook here. Skimming through here has been highly motivating. Clearly you've been hard at work with the studies. I can definitely see progress. You must be drawing with your whole arm now and not just your wrist cause your lines look a whole lot more confident; nice clean strokes.
I like those last pieces you did with ink. Lets see some more of that. At your rate, you'll be great in no time. I'm going camping for the weekend, but when I get back I'll update my sketchbook. I gotta get my sketchbook to look like yours, haha! In the meantime, keep posting!
August 10th, 2012 #104
Jonathan L. Thanks man! But no praise here dude. I am far from someone you should look at to aspire your book to be man. As for drawing with my whole arm, I still find I am using my wrist but I am becoming more aware of when it happens which is good.

great hand studies! looking like a big improvement. keep going im sure you will get better fast! try loomis for simplified body construction, hes always worked the best for me, very easy to understand.
Remember to draw the nose when drawing faces, With ur value studies seperate the values into different boxes. The value thing is really important keep at it. Do loads of gesture studies and then combine those studies with what u learn from loomis etc to do it from your head. great stuff keep going
August 11th, 2012 #109
Excellent studies so far Hampton is a very good source of reference and vanderpoel if you haven't seen bridgman stuff or peck check out those books also I recommend imaginative realism and color and light by james gurney.
Also continue with anatomy and also practice more with values and experiment with different brushes from photoshop and increase your visual libary as well good fortune

Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. You have some nice hand drawings but it looks like your faces could use more work.
August 12th, 2012 #111
Great studies here! Don't have anything to crit now, because it seems to me that you are doing the right things here.
Just keep pushing out those studies! Oh and also thanks again for the idea of drawing the planes on the photo, hehe. Keep it ups!

Hey man , great sketchbook !
I see you've already pointed out your own mistakes. That's a really, REALLY good thing (:
Keep doing dem studies, you're definitely getting better any second you're drawing :p
And ..thank you very much for your feedback in my sb !!

very nice studies, good anatomy going on. in regards to your perspective still lifes, if you keep in mind a level horizon line it will be easier. try placing two objects (i use an eraser and a die i have lying around) and aim all of your lines towards them as vanishing points, it really helps considering most of the time the VP's are off the page
Thanks for dropping by my sketchbook too, as always

Thank you all for the comments. I will try and get back to you guys this week.
Here is the sad excuse for work I did this weekend. I got caught up finishing season 4 of Breaking bad. Now that that is done This week I think I will focus on some faces. Expressions especially. Even if I do not have the construction of a head accurately yet expressions can still be placed on basic circles in preparation for the head.
On a side note I picked up Color and light and Imaginative realism for some read through out the week.
Some randomness, Then a portrait fail, some skulls from Anatomy for the artist, and a banana still (I NEED TO push my values and study more.)
August 14th, 2012 #118
Some heads from last night. Got some serious construction methods to go over and apply. I understand the basic construction of a face. but still the faces look like crap.
Looks like some application is in order. Need to take time to apply this to life drawings.
on a side note. I notice a repeating pattern in my studies. I am going to have to break this real soon to progress. My pattern of study but no real lif application. Got to get away from photo crutches.
(Edit I forgot this. It was to big to scan)

More head studies for today. Got 12 of them. Wasn't trying to rush but I definitely felt more comfortable with front views and profile. I will have to work on lots of other angles.
Any crits would be appreciated.
August 15th, 2012 #120
Damn Pete you got a great work ethic, you are on your way! I really like these last portraits
they got great character in them. I suggest maybe goin back into them with a softer graphite like 4b or higher to get some real darks in there and give them more range in value. Or you could just do new portraits too
keep grindin on

The children, who hail from Akhnoor in Jammu and Kashmir, are on an Army-sponsored four-day tour of Hyderabad
Sorting them height-wise, the students were made to stand in a line. Their specially tailored bright uniforms, caps and overalls were adjusted with thorough precision.
The Army personnel were so meticulous that they took over 15 minutes to make everything look picture perfect for a group photograph at the Mehdipatnam Garrison here on Friday. The 23 students and two teachers from Akhnoor town, Jammu and Kashmir, who were part of the Army's 'Operation Sadbhavana' tour, were clearly impressed by the soldiers' attention to details.
Many of them were inspired and wanted to join the Army. "I will definitely join the Army when I grow up," said Class 8 student Rinku Kumar. As part of the tour, which aims to facilitate "an exposure to the rich cultural diversity and varied traditions of other parts of the country and progress achieved under conditions of peace and stability", the students were on a four-day tour of Hyderabad. They visited a host of places including Salarjung Museum, Charminar, Golconda Fort, the Hussainsagar lake and other prominent tourist locations.
"We were also taught about the historical importance of the monuments we visited," said the students who got the opportunity for a helicopter ride at the Hakimpet Air Force Base and a chance to visit the Artillery Centre too. The contingent is also expected to meet Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan and also visit Ramoji Film City (RFC) as part of their tour.
"It's a good initiative taken by the Indian Army. This is for the first time so many students have travelled out of their villages. The exposure through such tours is immense," said Ramesh Kumar Sharma, a teacher accompanying the group. Major Varun Vaidya of 4/9 Gorkha Rifles, which organised the educational tour, said such visits would help youngsters in J&K learn about development in other places of the country.

NEWS: Dumb Florida, Dumb Jocks, And Love In The Big Apple
Florida lowered FCAT language requirements to keep two thirds of the state's kids from failing. Half failed anyway.
New York's most senior gay public servant was married today:
Christine Quinn, New York's highest-ranking openly gay official and the leading candidate to be the city's next mayor, married her longtime girlfriend on Saturday, walking down the aisle to Beyonce's "Ave Maria."
Quinn, the speaker of the New York City Council and a vocal advocate of same-sex marriage, wore a full-length, cream-colored gown designed by Carolina Herrera and a hair comb fashioned with family heirlooms.
Quinn's wife, New York lawyer Kim Catullo, wore a cream silk evening suit designed by Ralph Lauren. Catullo, who like Quinn is 45, walked in to Bruce Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind."
Cuomo, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly were among the 275 guests.
Fourth-rate NBA player Dominique Jones really dislikes gay people.
In the Hardin County school system, straight teens are punished for wearing LGBT-supportive apparel; the Southern Poverty Law Center sues.
In Michigan, representatives and senators sign awards for "women of accomplishment" -- unless those women are lesbians.
"Family values" legislator dons bikini, gets hot bod pictured in Maxim.
"The 20 Biggest Consequences of Same-Sex Marriage"
Nick Stahl, lost and found.
Some producers say they have marveled at how fast the opinions of television viewers have changed, even as gay rights activists have marveled at how voters across the country have shifted on gay marriage.
"What this is about, really, is how far America has come, not how far television has come," said Christopher Lloyd, a co-creator of "Modern Family."
Shonda Rhimes, the "Grey's Anatomy" producer, recalled having to "go to the mattresses with broadcast standards and practices" at ABC in 2006 to insist on preserving a steamy shower sequence with three female doctors. That sequence was just a fantasy in the mind of one of the male characters — but now six years later, in the show's version of reality, two female doctors are married. "Nobody even blinked" at the relationship, Ms. Rhimes said.
The only outcry she recalled came when one of the doctors, Arizona, flirted with a man. "It was from lesbians who said, 'How dare she sleep with a man!' "
Any Towleroad readers following the NBA playoffs? Know this: The Onion's sports coverage is no joke.
OK, that Florida drawing made me laugh.

As for Jones, he has not exactly made an impression for the Mavs, it would not be surprising for him to be traded away soon. If he thinks that starting a crusade against the Gays is a good idea for his career path, he really is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Speaker Quinn looked lovely in her gown - much trimmer and prettier than she normally looks. Wouldn't it be amazing if next year New York City ended up electing a married lesbian as mayor? Not sure the blue collar folks would go for this, though. But it would be a hell of a statement about how far the LGBT community AND marriage equality have come if this happened.

Look at the demographics of the Florida public school student population and the FCAT results won't surprise you. Like many places, people send their kids to private schools if at all possible. We also have a huge homeschool movement here. Down the street from me is a private school that black people started because they don't want their kids in the public schools either. So guess who that leaves? It leaves the kids who aren't properly parented, who started school unable to read or do math and who haven't progressed much since then.
School vouchers are not the problem here. The problem is that lumping well behaved, smart, and ready for school kids in with kids who can't or won't learn doesn't improve the latter, it drags down the former.

As stupid as he is, there are plenty of 'Americans' who ignore morals or law. He's entitled to spout off as much as anyone, exposing his own self-loathing (plenty o' folks in DFW aren't fooled by his faux macho drivel). We're free to call him on it. It's those quiet types you have to look out for, not the mouthy ones.

It's Sabbath, says ultra-orthodox Jews
The world's largest computer chip making firm Intel is at loggerheads in Jerusalem with ultra-orthodox Jews after it refused to stop work on Saturdays in line with the latter's religious observances.
More than a thousand ultra-orthodox Jews, donning traditional black hats and long coats, marched to protest against Intel's rejection of their demand to stop work in deference to Sabbath — the Saturday religious holiday when Jews are not supposed to work. "Shabbes! Shabbes!" they said, chanting the Yiddish word for Sabbath. Some protesters were injured when security personnel subjected them with pepper spray.
Prepared for the demonstration, Intel ringed its compound in the Jerusalem industrial estate with barbed wire. The protests followed lengthy, but fruitless negotiations between the organisers and Intel, which declined to employ only non-Jewish workers on Saturdays.
In its riposte, the company threatened to stop production in Israel if protests did not abate. "If there are continued protests or delays in manufacturing at the Jerusalem plant, the company will be forced to close it and may also decide to leave Israel in the end," Maxine Fassberg, general manager of Intel Israel, was quoted as saying.
The Israeli ultra-orthodox have in recent months escalated efforts to enforce the Saturday work ban. They have been battling police in recent weeks to stop parking lots from functioning on the weekly holiday.

Perfect for a country kitchen or summer themed scrapbook layout, the Graphic 45 French Country Collection is filled with all kinds of classic French symbols, patterns, and icons. The classic colors and vintage look to this collection are also great for decorating a kitchen or even creating your very own family cookbook.
Included in this collection is one packet of medium sized scrapbook papers, one packet of smaller scrapbook papers, two sheets of stickers, and a continer of cute chipboard buttons.

I love the fun sunflower motif that moves through this collection. Sunflowers are great for summer and look great in kitchen decor...and nothing says country more than sunflowers! There are also stickers with French words and sayings, images of the French countryside, and papers that highlight the colors and patterns that make the French countryside so iconic and stylish.
I also love that Graphic 45 has tons of ideas on their website and blog, so if you're struggling for an idea or are just looking for some inspiration, the brilliant minds behind Graphic 45 are there to help you out!

Bananas Explodé
(I'm preparing bananas flambé in front of several customers. Suddenly, one of them speaks up excitedly.)
Customer: "Wow, that looks so cool! Are you using gasoline?"
Stupid Customers, like the rest of us have to eat and drink. Sadly like the rest of us, they sometimes eat with the rest of us. For every waiter, server, drive-thru operator, coffee shop barista, and restaurant manager who has had to deal with fake allergies, vegetarians who don't know the meaning of the word and idiots who have yet to understand the concept of clearly listed ingredients, we salute you!
(I'm preparing bananas flambé in front of several customers. Suddenly, one of them speaks up excitedly.)
Customer: "Wow, that looks so cool! Are you using gasoline?"
(I'm a rather busty female and I work in a grocery store. An elderly man walks up to my register with his cart.)
Customer: "Well, I see you got new jugs!"
Me: "Excuse me?"
Customer: "New jugs. I quite like 'em. Better grip. Oh, yeah, much better grip."
Me: *stares wide-eyed*
Customer: *places two bottles of prune juice on the counter*
Me: *relieved* "Oh, yes. They redid the bottles on those. New jugs."
Customer: "Mmmm. Prune juice. I quite like it. Keeps me regular."
(A mother and her son are sampling several kinds of ice cream, trying to decide what kind of ice cream cake they want. Note that all flavors are clearly labelled with their contents.)
Customer: "Are there nuts in the pralines 'n' cream ice cream? My son is allergic to nuts."
Me: "Yes, pralines are nuts. You did not tell me he has a nut allergy. How's your son, is he okay? Should I call an ambulance? Do you need help?"
Customer: "So, about my cake…I'm still not really sure what flavors I want. How can I order my cake now? My son's face is getting itchy."
Me: "You should probably just go ahead and take him to the hospital. Can I call someone? Do you want to use my phone? How's your son doing?"
Customer: "Yes, I should probably go to the hospital, but then, how will I order my cake? I want this cake. What should I do?"
Me: "Take a card and call us with a phone order later. You should get your son some help!"
Customer: "But, about my cake…"
(She finally takes him to the hospital. Luckily, it is close by!)
(A guy sits down at the bar and asks for a virgin bloody mary.)
Me: "One virgin mary, right away."

Customer: *nods*

Santa Maria hijacking
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (January 2011)
On January 23, 1961, a group of Portuguese and Spanish opposition movement members seized control of the Santa Maria, a 609-foot-long (186 m), 20,900-ton Portuguese luxury cruise liner. Also known as Operation Dulcinea, the code name given it by its chief architect and "leader" Henrique Galvão, it was a rebel terrorist operation against the Government of Portugal. The action has also been referred to as "piracy", although it does not fit the international definition of piracy involving an attack of one vessel on another for private ends.
Owned by the Lisbon-based Companhia Colonial de Navegação, the ship was the second largest ship in the Portuguese merchant navy at the time and along with her sister ship, the Vera Cruz was among the most luxurious Portuguese-flag liners of that time.
The ship was primarily used for colonial trade to the Portuguese overseas provinces of Angola and Mozambique, in Africa, and migrant transportation to Brazil. The ship's mid-Atlantic service was also viewed as rather out of the ordinary: Lisbon to Madeira, to Tenerife, to La Guaira, to Curaçao, to Havana (later San Juan), and lastly Port Everglades. The average trade for this gray-hulled ship was mostly migrants to Venezuela and the general passenger traffic.
Hijacking [Pirating][edit]
On January 23, 1961, the ship had 600 passengers and 300 crew members. Among the passengers were men, women, children, and 24 Iberian leftists led by Portuguese military officer and politician Henrique Galvão.
Henrique Galvão was a Portuguese military officer and political foe of Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar, the head of the Estado Novo regime. Galvão had carefully planned the hijacking with the intention of waging war until Salazar was overthrown in Portugal and the overseas territories were subsequently offered independence. He planned on using the hijacking as a way to bring attention to the Estado Novo in Portugal and the related fascist regime in Francoist Spain.
The rebels boarded the ship in La Guaira harbour (Venezuela) and in Curaçao, disguised as passengers, bringing aboard suitcases. The suitcases had secret compartments to hide their weapons. The rebels, along with Henrique Galvao, seized the ship, ceased all communication, and killed one officer (3rd Pilot Nascimento Costa) and wounded several others in the process of taking complete command over the ship. The rebels forced crew members, along with the captain of the ship, Mário Simões Maia, to take the ship on a different course.
The whereabouts of the ship remained unknown for several days, until a massive United States search effort by air and sea uncovered and communicated with it in Mid-Atlantic. Thereafter, a fleet of United States naval vessels, including not less than four destroyers (some of which contained USMC infantry belonging to "G" Company, 2nd Battalion of the 6th Marine Regiment out of Camp Lejeune, NC) under the command of Rear Admiral Allen E. Smith short-circuited Galvão's plans, when his forces surrounded the "Santa Maria" some fifty miles offshore of Recife, Brazil. The following day, Admiral Smith left his flagship the USS Gearing and proceeded via launch to the "Santa Maria" to engage in negotiations with Galvão.
Because of an anticipated change of Presidencies in Brazil (the incoming President being more sympathetic to Galvão's political interests), it was not until the very next day that the Santa Maria, surrounded by United States naval vessels, entered the harbor of Recife. There, Galvão and his 24 leftist terrorists surrendered the Santa Maria, 600 passengers and crew of 300 to Brazilian authorities in exchange for political asylum.
Galvão later announced that his intentions were to sail to Angola, to set up a renegade Portuguese government in opposition to Salazar. Galvão's stories of these accounts were translated into English and into a book as Santa Maria: my crusade for Portugal (New York, 1961).

Beautiful Bodrum
Bodrum is peaceful seaside city in Southern Turkey. All of the houses are stark white, so one is immediately reminded of Greece. Here, these little homes dot the hillsides which descend down to the tranquil shores. Even in winter the water is warm and comfortable. The streets are loaded with tourist shops, exciting looking pubs and clubs (however they were depressingly empty during our stay). We enjoyed our mornings sipping cappuccinos with our feet in the sand; it ...

The city was famous for the tomb of Mausolus, the origin of the word mausoleum, built around 350 BC. It was part of ...

Meaningful Photo
Started Aug 5, 2013 | Discussions thread

I think of every photo as a portrait - an effort by the photographer to portray a subject to an audience. The success of that effort depends on the reaction of the audience. You just made it unmistakeably clear that your image is a big success, even though you can see technical issues in it. The connection that the image makes for you, you to your father as he views a connection to his father, overrules any technical issues.
There are many of us who'd give anything to be able to take a photo of Dad today, and all of us can understand the value to you of this photo.
Sometimes the technical issues just aren't important.

Gummersbach Things to Do
First mentioned in 1109 this church was actually built much earlier in 850. It belonged to the Severin monastery in Cologne. The first church was replaced in 1050 by a smaller but more solid construction. In the following centuries the tower, the transept and the aisles were added. From those times the tower and the northern aisle in Roman style are still there. Later additions were made in Gothic style. Of the medival paintings only the ceiling painting of the choir remains.
Inside the church you may see some remarkable things, but unfortunately when we visited on a Saturday afternoon the church was closed as a wedding had just taken place.
In 1109 a church was first mentioned dedicated to the Saint Severin, today's protestant church.
In 1580 the reformation took place and the catholic that were left were then looked after by the Dominicans in nearby Marienheide. Only in 1839 the catholics erected on a hill outside the citywalls a chapel dedicated to St. Franziscus of Assisi. In 1860 there was an official parish consisting of 95 towns in 5 communities namely Gummersbach, Gimhorn, Marienheide, Bergneustadt and Wiehl. In 1889 a church in the neo gothic style was erected and in 1895 a tower. In 1973 the church was already out-of-repair and torn down, except for the tower which was renovated. In 1975 a new church was built.
This building dates back to 1700 when it was built for the bailiff, who was the judge and legal representative of the local souvereign. The bailiff's office was moved to Bergneustadt in 1419 but returned in 1638 once again to Gummersbach. It was the seat of the judge until mid 19th century.

Gummersbach Nightlife
Walking through the pedestrianised part of the town center I noticed that there is a cinema which shows various films.
Nearby you will find cafés and a Brauhaus, so all you need for a night out.
Gummersbach Transportation
I came to Gummersbach by train from Koeln (Cologne). Gummersbach is on the Koeln - Marienheide line. It took one hour and 10 minutes as there were about 3 longish waits at stations along the way for trains coming from the other direction. There are plans to build a second track.
Other plans are an extention past Marienheide to Meinerzhagen. That part should open in 2013. After that they plan to revive the stretch Meinerzhagen to Bruegge in Westfalen, where you could change on the train to Luedenscheid or onto buses.
Currently, there is no railway station at Gummersbach as the old one has just been ripped down. Under the old roof on the platform you will find a ticket machine.
A few dozen meters from the railway station you will find the bus station where you will find several lines taking you to nearby villages and also local Gummersbach lines.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Chris Young focused on improving at the plate
After five-plus big league seasons, D-backs center fielder Chris Young has been lauded as one of the elite defenders in Major League Baseball. His range, speed and glove have long elicited praise and accolades from his teammates and peers.
As Young enters the 2012 season, his focus will be on improving at the plate and silencing the critics who have been underwhelmed by his often inconsistent offensive numbers.
In 2011, the 28-year-old hit a lowly .236 with 20 home runs and 71 RBIs. Still, Young has set the bar high for himself going forward.
"I am not going to put it outside of my abilities to say that I can't be a .300 hitter with 30 or 35 [home runs] or whatever you can say," Young told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday. "All I can do is continue to work on it and hope it all comes together for an entire season not just for a month here and a month off."
Young expressed the importance of controlling his number of strikeouts while continually putting forth quality at-bats.
"I am trying to becoming more consistent, especially with my bat, and my approach has changed a little bit," Young said.
The one main area in which Young hopes to flourish is creating higher run-producing numbers.
"What really wins the ballgames are the RBIs -- the runs that you are actually producing," Young stated. "How many stolen bases are you having where you were on first base and steal second and the guy hits a single and you score so the runs scored aren't important, the RBIs are important."
With the offseason addition of outfielder Jason Kubel and manager Kirk Gibson's comments suggesting Young may have more days off to rest and stay fresh during the season, the D-backs' center fielder recognizes the importance of proving himself on a daily basis.
"As a player, it's tough to just accept it and want to take a day off," Young explained. "I take a lot of pride in being out there in the field every day. I love being an everyday player and it's something that I've worked towards and you feel like you can help the team win every day, no matter if it's with the bat or the glove."
Despite the added outfield competition, Young had nothing but the utmost praise for Gibson's managerial style.
"Gibby's been amazing since he's been over here, ever since Day 1," Young said. "He's been learning his players, learning what we respond to but still keeping his morals intact with the type of manager he wants to be."
Gibson expects his players to respect the game of baseball and play it with the same gumption that he did.
Chris Young's never-say-die work ethic and hard-nosed approach to the game embodies the very qualities that Gibson teaches and holds dear.
If Young can translate those attributes into results with the bat this season, the Diamondbacks' offense will be booming.

NEW YORK Medical professionals who favor a proposed ban on large-sized sugary drinks likened soda companies to Big Tobacco at a public hearing Tuesday, saying the plan would protect the public, while opponents accused the city of playing Big Brother and wondered what tasty but unhealthy foods might be targeted next.
New York City's health board heard hours of testimony on a proposed rule that would limit soft-drink cup and bottle sizes at food service establishments to no larger than 16 ounces.
Medical experts spared no rhetoric in hailing Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal as a way to protect the public from a soft-drink industry they said pushes carbonated calories on children and employs the same well-financed lobbying tactics as Big Tobacco.
One doctor said before the hearing that the calorie-packed beverages increase the risk of diabetes, and are responsible for a big share of the "massive suffering and premature death" linked to obesity.
"Soda in large amounts is metabolically toxic," said Walter Willett, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health. "It's obvious that this is the right thing to do."
A 20-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola has roughly the same calorie count as a McDonald's hamburger, but Kelly Brownell, a psychology, epidemiology and public health professor at Yale University, said it is easier to over-drink than over-eat.
"You don't feel as full when you consume calories in liquids," he said. "These beverages are the single greatest source of added sugar in the American diet."
Critics ridiculed the idea that city officials should regulate portion sizes.
City Councilman Daniel Halloran III called the proposal a "feel-good placebo" that would hurt profit margins at small businesses while failing to improve anyone's health.
He questioned whether a limit on the size of steak was around the corner.
Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesman for the American Beverage Association, scoffed at the notion that soda makers were similar to tobacco companies.
"There's no comparison," he said. "Cigarettes can kill you. ... Soft drinks are a treat to be enjoyed in moderation - they can play a role in a healthy, balanced and active lifestyle."
Another critical councilman, Oliver Koppell, called the ban "a clear overreaching of government into people's everyday lives."
"This infringement on the rights of New Yorkers leads us to ask what will be banned next?"
Joy Dubost, a nutritionist who works for the National Restaurant Association, said the proposal wasn't backed up by scientific evidence.
"It's not reasonable to blame or cite one product," she said, adding that the proposal "produces a false sense of accomplishment in the fight against obesity."
Several critics questioned why the city was making a proposal on sugary drinks a priority when some city schoolchildren have no physical education classes.
The proposal requires only the approval of the Board of Health - appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg - to take effect. But opponents could still sue to block the ban, or they could convince legislators to step in and block the proposal.

HARTS CREEK - A search for a stolen ATV Side-By-Side that was conducted by the Mingo County Sheriff's Department ended in a remote location of Logan County, and produced positive results.
According to information provided by Mingo County Sheriff's Department Cpl. Norman Mines, a Polaris RZR that had been reported stolen during a string of burglaries that spanned from Maher to Marrowbone was recovered from a home on Harts Creek in Logan County. Also discovered during the search of the premises was another ATV that had been reported stolen from Boone County.
Mines told the Daily News that he does not believe the homeowner, who is handicapped, is connected to the thefts, and said he assisted in providing information to law officers concerning the identity of the person/persons who brought the stolen goods to his home.
The investigation into this case, as well as several others that are believed to be linked to other burglaries reported in Mingo County, remains open and the officer is confident that arrests will soon take place. West Virginia State Police troopers from the Logan Detachment assisted with the search.
If anyone has any information or knows the whereabouts of items stolen from these locations, they are urged to contact Mines or another member of the sheriff's department by calling 304-235-0300. The informant's identity does not have to be disclosed to provide a tip. The officers are only interested in the information.

Calcium channel blockers help treat chest
pain and increase oxygen supply to the heart by:
Calcium channel blockers may be used
to control symptoms and treat complications of a
heart attack (such as arrhythmias). They may also be
used if you cannot tolerate a beta-blocker.
Calcium channel blockers may help
reduce the severity and frequency of chest pain when beta-blockers cannot be
used. But unlike beta-blockers, these medicines have not been proven to reduce
the risk of a heart attack, future heart problems, or death.
Side effects vary depending on the drug
but may include:
Do not stop taking this medicine without first consulting
your doctor.
Verapamil may cause a skin rash or breast
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects.
(Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
In general, the long-acting forms
(taken once a day) of calcium channel blockers are preferred over the
short-acting forms (taken 2 to 4 times a day).
Verapamil and
diltiazem may make
heart failure worse.

Wednesday Night is Games Night at The Daventry Vaulters
Please arrange your games here for the Meetup.
There's now about twenty of us on a usual Wednesday night. Members will bring their own games which you can join in on, and there's usually loads of Bloodbowl going on too. We're always happy to teach the rules before we play. Everyone is friendly and welcoming so new people are always welcome. Games will be played and a good time will be had by all
See you soon!
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

Beaver Brook (Merrimack River)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coordinates: 42°39′32″N 71°19′06″W / 42.6589°N 71.3184°W Beaver Brook is a 30.7-mile-long (49.4 km) river located in New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the United States. It is a tributary of the Merrimack River, part of the Gulf of Maine watershed.
Beaver Brook rises in Chester, New Hampshire, and flows south into Derry, passing through Harantis Lake, Adams Pond, and Beaver Lake. Continuing south, the brook forms the boundary between Londonderry and Windham, then flows through Pelham.[1] The brook crosses the state line into Dracut, Massachusetts, and reaches the Merrimack River in the city of Lowell.
Most of the brook's course is through gently hilly terrain that is rapidly being converted into suburban land use.
