What to expect:
This 100-acre park in southern Indiana, near the Kentucky border, has been family-owned since it opened in 1946. Back then it was known as Santa Claus Land, taking its cue from the small town in which it's located: Santa Claus, Indiana, whose post office each year receives thousands of letters mailed to Santa from children around the country.
Now called Holiday World, with a theme that's been expanded to include the Fourth of July and Halloween, the park has managed to avoid takeover by the mega-corporations that have been gobbling up theme and amusement parks right and left. That's good news for families looking for a reasonably priced theme park that prides itself on a clean, friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Holiday World specializes in rides and attractions for families to enjoy together. So while two of its wooden roller coasters are ranked among the world's best, it's not overrun by thrill-seeking teens. Lines are usually comparatively short. One fee admits you to both Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, an adjacent water park. And there's more: Soft drinks, including soda, lemonade, fruit punch, iced tea, and ice water, are free all day. Combine that with free parking, and a family can save big bucks.
Children ages 5 to 8 are ideal visitors to Holiday World, even if they might not be quite as thrilled at meeting Santa at his "summer home" as their younger siblings are. In Holidog's Fun Town, an interactive area for kids and parents, they might take their first (tame) roller coaster ride on the Howler or "drive" a Jeep or antique car. They can also try out the slides, net climb, web crawl, and other activities at Holidog's Treehouse, a three-story "family play super-structure" that's billed as the largest of its kind in the country. At the Splashin' Safari water park, they can enjoy a multilevel family water-play complex designed for parents and children to enjoy together. They can slither down water slides, splash around in a wave pool, go tubing down the raft ride, and get dumped on by a giant water bucket. Children at the upper end of this age group will probably want to visit the games arcade, and the daring ones might also want to try out the park's two world-class wooden roller coasters, the Raven and the Legend, or the newer Turkey Tilt-a-Whirl, or Baluki, a water slide that drops riders into a huge purple, green, and yellow bowl. Children from 5 to 8 might also enjoy some of the shows, especially the high-diving act.
Food concessions (drinks are free), changing stations, stroller and wagon rentals, picnic grounds (just outside the gate). Inner tubes and sunscreen are free at Splashin' Safari. If you're planning an overnight stay, motels (some with a Christmas theme) are nearby, as is Lake Rudolph Campground and RV Resort (877/478-3657), which has tent sites, cabins, RV rentals, full RV hookups, two swimming pools and playgrounds, a game room, miniature golf, boat rentals, fishing, and a country store. Shuttle service to the park is included.
- Some rides in both parks have height restrictions, either minimum or maximum. For most kiddie rides, children can't be taller than 54 inches.
- If you plan to go to the water park, bring swimsuits, towels, and water shoes to protect feet.
- No outside food is permitted in the park, but you can visit the picnic grounds just outside the gate.
- If you live in the area, consider buying a season pass. You can also buy discounted advance tickets online. See Holiday World's website for details.
Holiday World and Splashin' Safari are open from early May to early October, with varying hours. Go on weekdays in June for the lightest crowds; the heaviest are on Saturdays from June through August.
Getting there:
Holiday World & Splashin' Safari are located at the junction of Highways 162 and 245 in Santa Claus, Indiana. From Evansville, Indiana, take I-64 east to Exit 63, then take Highway 162 south for seven miles to Highway 245; the drive is about 45 minutes. From Louisville, take I-64 west to Exit 63, then take Highway 162 south for seven miles and turn west onto Highway 245; the drive is about one hour.
For rates, hours, and other information visit the Holiday World website or call (877) 463-2645 or (812) 937-4401.

The findings of a recent retrospective study may alleviate some of the concerns patients and physicians have had about Revlimid and the risk of secondary cancers.
The study found that the risk of developing a secondary cancer as a result of treatment with Revlimid occurred mainly when a patient had been treated with oral melphalan at the same time as Revlimid.
Revlimid (lenalidomide) did not appear to be associated with an increased risk of secondary cancers when administered together with

The year 2013 is likely to be remembered as a very good year when it comes to research related to multiple myeloma.
Previous years have witnessed research shedding new light on existing myeloma therapies, as well as additional research about potential new therapies.
But, in the past, most of the important new therapies that were being researched were from existing classes of therapy, making them less likely to offer dramatic improvements in the treatment of the disease.
In 2013, not …

Each year, The Myeloma Beacon publishes many news articles summarizing the latest research findings about multiple myeloma. As in recent years, 2013 was a year filled with important multiple myeloma-related news.
During 2013, a new drug, Pomalyst, was approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma; researchers presented new findings about other potential new treatments; experts learned more about the factors that influence a patient's prognosis and reported improvements in survival over the past decade; the role of stem cell transplantation and …

At the 2013 annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), which took place in December, there were many oral and poster presentations about Pomalyst, the newest drug approved in the United States and Europe for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
Many of the presentations were about studies of Pomalyst (pomalidomide, Imnovid) and dexamethasone (Decadron) in combination with a third drug, such as Velcade (bortezomib), Kyprolis (carfilzomib), clarithromycin (Biaxin), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), …

More than twenty presentations about studies involving Pomalyst were presented at this year's meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), which took place last month.
Several of these presentations were about the Phase 3 clinical trial that found Pomalyst (pomalidomide, Imnovid) plus low-dose dexamethasone (Decadron) significantly improved overall survival of relapsed and refractory myeloma patients compared to high-dose dexamethasone alone (see related Beacon news). This is the study that led to the approval of pomalidomide …

Francine Stock: Break in transmission
Francine Stock is an ace interviewer; I am not. Sabine Durrant is unwell and I am a late replacement, having barely started Stock's debut novel. We meet at a soulless hotel near Broadcasting House; I drag her off to a hotel more conducive to the instant, in-depth conversation the conventions of 'the interview' demand; we get lost, she's ridiculously nice about it; a taxi driver points us in the right direction; we eventually find it, start talking... and my tape recorder breaks down.

Women of the world, unite!What was Hillary Clinton doing while Monica Lewinsky bared all on television last week? As it turns out, she was delivering a speech to the UN on Equality for Women in the build-up to today's International Women's Day. How could she have failed to read the warning signs from her own private life about these high-minded politics? There she is, addressing the needs of women internationally, when she must realise that sometimes the only thing women have in common is their bad taste in men. The concept of sisterhood won't heal Hillary and Monica's differences, and if two women from the same nation, culture and class can't see eye to eye, what hope is there of rallying women internationally behind the shared cause of women's interests?

The difference a day made: Darcey BussellIn January 1989, I passed my driving test. I was 19 and it was such a major breakthrough for my independence. The Royal Ballet schedule made it difficult for me to have driving lessons. You can't book them after a show because it is too late and even if you could find someone to teach you, you'd be too tired - and you don't want a lesson at the crack of dawn, before rehearsals, because you're too tired from the show the night before.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

Paella Splendida
Paella Splendide
3 cups Bomba or Aborio rice
6 cups chicken broth
3 chicken thighs, with skin and bones, sprinkled with salt and
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into slices, sprinkled with salt and
1 large red onion, chopped
2 red peppers, cored and sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 mediums tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons saffron
4 ounces capers
4 ounces pimentos
8 ounces artichoke hearts, (canned or frozen hearts which have been thawed)
1 tablespoon smoked Spanish Paprika
12 prawns
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Place a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat, rub saffron between your hands and into the pan, use a wooden spoon to stir saffron around in the pan until you can smell its' fragrance. Pour chicken broth into pan and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn off heat and allow broth to sit.
Heat a paella pan or large skillet over high heat and place sausages in pan (any casings removed). Chop up sausage with wooden spoon to bite sized pieces and brown. When brown, remove sausage from pan using a slotted spoon, leaving the oil from the sausages in the pan. Put sausages on a large plate or platter and cover to keep warm.
When cooked, remove chicken pieces from fat and place them on platter with sausages, covered.
Arrange the chicken thighs, breasts, sausage, attractively on top of rice and vegetables.
Imbed clams in mixture.
Top with prawns.
During this final cooking process the rice becomes tender and flavorful, the meat is reheated and the seafood will cook. It is desirable for a caramelized crust to form on the bottom of the rice mixture.
We use the chicken thighs for the sake of tradition, using only boneless, skinless breasts will save a lot of time and it is easier to eat.
Serve with a cold Spanish white wine, we like the Santiago Ruiz from Riaxs Baixas.
When making paella, hope for leftovers! We like to remove any seafood before storing leftovers in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning the paella can be heated in an oiled skillet and topped with poached eggs for delicious brunch fare.

5 Things Learned In Game 3 Of The NBA Finals
Five things to take away from the San Antonio Spurs' 113-77 win over the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night:
Role Players Dominating NBA Finals
In a NBA Finals featuring multiple first-ballot future Hall of Famers, the story of the series has been the phenomenal play of the role players for the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat.
Spurs Spank Heat In Game 3, 113-77

Don't Bet Against Heat After Loss
It's rare, but the Miami Heat does lose an occasional game or two. They just don't do it in consecutive games, at least not for the last six months. And when the Heat does respond to the loss, it's usually in an overwhelming manner.

Smoothes & Softens
Three Layers of Lavish Lip Balm
Rosebud's second most popular product, this balm is formulated to protect and moisturize the lips, as well as cuticles and elbows from the drying effects of weather. The aroma of strawberry shortcakes attracts the young and old, alike! This balm was formulated by G.F.Smith's grandson, Allen R. Smith, Jr., in the early 1970s. The tin was designed by G.F.Smith's great-granddaughter, Linda Pruitt Michielli who has just recently formulated and designed the newest product, Minted Rose.
Contains a blend of Essential Oils (Aromol) and cotton seed oil in a special petrolatum base.
Since 1895, this world-famous salve has been lauded by fashion magazines, make-up artists, and celebrities as their number one preferred lip balm. In addition to being a wonderful lip moisturizer, natural-looking lip gloss and lipstick base, it is still a family favorite to aid in the relief of chapped and dry skin, blemishes, diaper rash, and detergent burns.
This is the original and only Rosebud Salve.

The scent can be strong, but it fades quickly. The feel of the salve stays on for longer than Blistex and others. I've found that I have to apply less throughout the day. I've also noticed that I don't rush to apply it when I get up in the morning. With other products, my lips have felt chapped first thing in the morning. I would buy the strawberry one for everyday use, but I'm happy I purchased the set. I keep one by the bed, one by my makeup, and one in my purse. I use them all.

I've enjoyed purchasing Smith's Rosebud Salve in the past. I was excited to try this tin "on sale," but have been disappointed because I can't open the individual balms! So bizarre. I can get the lids to twist slightly, but I can't pull them off. Like they're too tight. Maybe this batch is just a wonky one, but I literally can't get the lids off, can't use, very bummed. I do love this brand, but I wouldn't buy again from here.

Comments about Rosebud Perfume Co. Three Layers of Lavish Lip Balm, 1 set:
I go through lipbalm like crazy... I have tubes stashed around the house, in each bag, at my office... so, the thought of trying this classic balm at this price was irrisitable. The lip balm itself is wonderfully soft and lubricating without being goopy or waxy. It lasts long, as well, so I actually use less of it. The flavours are classic, charming, just hinting at rose + mint or just at rose. The strawberry is so subtle but wild. The flavours, however, are not over-powering, but gentle, and don't affect the taste of things. I use the strawberry at night since it contains lanolin and it keeps my lips soft all night. My lips are much softer and less prone to chap or split. Where has this stuff been all my life?

Amazing product. It's not lipgloss, so it wears off pretty easily and doesn't have much color, but as a moisturizer, this is just amazing. and I like these three the best! just awesome.
Love this set!
By jrsmom13
from Roseville, CA
I use this lip balm at night before I go to sleep and wake up with moisturized lips. Great solution for my dry lips, especially during the cold winter months. You do have to apply it with your fingers, and it does have a very soft consistency (which is probably the reason it's not dispensed through a lipstick container like most lip balms), so it limits me to home use as I'm worried that toting it around in my purse will prove problematic if it melts during the warmer months. Inconvenient container aside, the lip balm itself is very moisturizing, and this set includes three pleasant-smelling scents and a very generous amount of each scent, so I would consider this set a great buy!
Great lip balm!

AMES, Iowa – Healthy communities need vibrant small businesses, according to Jim Patton, director for Iowa State University Extension's Region 7, covering Hamilton, Humboldt, Webster and Wright counties.
Patton's view of community reaches far beyond town, city or county borders; he's talking about the regional community. In Region 7, ISU Extension is partnering with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to stretch that community border region-wide.
R7 from Iowa State University Extension on Vimeo.
The area's SBDC is housed in the Webster County Extension office, where Patton also is headquartered. That connection led to the SBDC securing a grant to set up a reference library in the extension office in each of the four counties in Region 7. Each library has 58 manuals, specific to small business type.
"With the layoffs of Electrolux in Hamilton County, we've had a lot of interest. We've had as many as five or six of these manuals checked out weekly," Patton said. Each library also includes a conference area, and SBDC staff members are setting up regular times to meet with clients in each office.
To maximize the partnership, ISU Extension and SBDC also are developing succession planning workshops for small business sellers and buyers, and other small business education programs.
Patton is one of 20 regional extension education directors. The positions were created a year ago as part of ISU Extension's restructuring plan to facilitate an issue-based approach to delivering ISU Extension programming and resources. Patton works directly with county extension council members to meet their legal obligations as an elected body. Together they are identifying new ways to work across county borders, provide educational programming that addresses significant issues and evaluate the results of multi-county and regional efforts.
To learn more about ISU Extension programs, contact Patton at 515-576-2119 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the ISU Extension website, www.extension.iastate.edu.

Intel celebrates 40th anniversary of the Intel 4004 processor
Intel have cracked out the bubbly (and surely, some expensive scotch) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Intel 4004, the world's first commercially available microprocessor. The release of the 4004 triggered the start of the digital revolution. Most people have never even see a processor, but devices that contain them have been integrated so deeply into our everyday lives, they have become pretty much indispensable.
Intel have thrown some numbers around that are very impressive, comparing the Intel 4004 to the second-generation Intel Core processors. Compared to the Intel 4004, today's second-generation Intel Core processors are more than 350,000 times the performance and each transistor uses 5,000 times less energy. Impressive? Just a little.
Next year sees Intel CPUs being developed on Intel's next-generation 22nm manufacturing process and are set to deliver even more energy-efficient performance as a result of Intel's breakthrough 3-D Tri-Gate transistors that make use of a new transistor structure.
NVIDIA to deploy World's first ARM-based CPU/GPU hybrid supercomputer
NVIDIA have just announced that the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) is developing a new hybrid supercomputer that, for the first time, uses energy-efficient, low-power NVIDIA Tegra ARM VCPUs, together with high-performance NVIDIA CUDA GPUs. BSC is in the planning stages and hopes to roll out the new ARM-based supercomputer, with a near-term goal of demonstrating two to five times improvement in energy efficiency compared with today's most efficient systems.
BSC's ultimate research goal is to establish exascale-level performance while using 15 to 30 times less power than current supercomputer architectures. This so-called EU Mont-Blanc Project will explore next-generation HPC architectures and develop a portfolio of exascale applications that run efficiently on these kinds of energy-efficient, embedded mobile technologies.
As ARM gains more support around the world with ARM-based initiatives, NVIDIA have also announced plans to develop a new hardware and software development kit. NVIDIA's new kit, with hardware developed by SECO, will sport a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 ARM CPU accelerated by a discrete NVIDIA GPU.

AMD launches its first 16-core Opteron processors
While suited toward a different crowd for the most part, AMD has made efforts to steal a bit of the limelight strongly shining on Intel and its Sandy Bridge-E/X79 platform by kicking out a big announcement of their own at the same time.
Adter several weeks of being delayed, today finally sees the launch of AMD's first 16-core Opteron server processors, the Bulldozer based Opteron 6200 series (formally known as Interlagos). According to John Fruehe, the director of product parketing at AMD, these new processors are said to be 25 to 30% faster than their 12-cored Opteron 6100 predecessors.
The new Opteron 6200 family of processors includes 6262 HE, 6272, 6274, 6276 and 6282 SE models, running at clock rates of between 1.6 and 2.6GHz with pricing starting at $523 US and going up to $1,019 US. Power draw from the new processors starts at 85 watts and goes as high as 140 watts. The chips are compatible with existing server sockets to make upgrades from older 12-core chips a breeze.

Intel's Sandy Bridge-E / X79 arrives!
The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived and we can now feast our eyes on the horde of goodness that revolves around Intel's latest top tier performance platform, the LGA 2011 socket based Sandy Bridge-E and its respective X79 chipset.
With the launch now behind us we have our full detailed reviews online of both the top dog processor in the new Sandy-E line in the form of Intel's Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition, as well as our first full X79 motherboard review, putting arguably the most impressive X79 motherboard up on the test bench first - ASUS' mighty ROG series Rampage IV Extreme.
And if you stay tuned, a little later today we'll also be publishing our first Quad Channel memory review suited for use with the new platform.

AMD FM1 and FM2 packages are incompatible
Below, we have a picture of the AMD accelerated processing units in both FM1 and future FM2 packages, which the latter will be based on the next-generation Trinity APU. In the picture below, "Llano" FM1 APU is on the left, "Trinity" FM2 is on the right.
Both packages are pretty much identical, with the difference between them a set of blanked pins in the sub-central portion of the pin array. The FM2 package sports 904 pins whilst the FM1 package has 1 more at 905 pins. One pin is blanked, whilst a pair of blanked pins are arranged further away from the central cutout.

Leaked Sandy Bridge benchmarks, doesn't impress for gaming
Intel's new Sandy Bridge-E flagship processor, the Core i7 3960X has been thrown through a handful of benchmarks by Chinese website Inpai.com. The benchmarks put the i7 3960X head-to-head against the Sandy Bridge-based i7 2600K.
Intel's Core i7 3960X will be the bees knees of the Sandy Bridge-E series, featuring 6-cores and 12 threads clocked at stock clocks of 3.6GHz and 3.9GHz when using Turbo Boost. The chip uses a maximum TDP of 130W, features 15MB L3 cache and launches on November 14.

ARM brags their next-gen chip brings PS3 level performance, challenges rivals to an ARM wrestle
ARM have just announced its next-generation mobile GPU, the Mali-T658. ARM have said that this design is set to offer ten times the performance of their current Mali-400 MP which is found in smartphones such as the amazing Samsung Galaxy S II handset.
T658 is ARM's second GPU using an architecture it calls Midgard. Midgard is designed to support both 3D workloads using modern APIs, with support for both OpenGL ES and Microsoft's Direct3D 11, and computation workloads using OpenCL, Microsoft DirectCompute, and Google RenderScript. Compute tasks get some love, with Midgard supporting full IEEE 754 floating point.
The first Midgard design, the T604, was announced last year, and was licensed by companies such as Samsung and LG. The new T658 is quite the powerhouse, with each core having four arithmetic pipelines, and one each of load/store for texture, doubling the number of arithmetic pipelines found in the T604. Up to eight cores can be integrated into a single GPU, again representing a doubling in performance relative to T604, which allows up to four cores to be ganged together.

Intel's next-generation processor architecture, Haswell, gets leaked details
Ivy Bridge isn't even here yet, and we're seeing details on Intel's next-generation processor architecture, Haswell. Haswell will be a brand new architecture based on a 22nm fan process which will be matured by Sandy Bridge's successor, Ivy Bridge. This is Intel's "tick-tock" product development model, where we see a "tock" being a new x86 architecture, and a "tick" miniaturizes it to a newer silicon fabrication process.
If Intel's 22nm process all goes to plan, Haswell has an ETA of Q2 2013, with Ivy Bridge taking the lead from Q2 2012 until then. Haswell will feature an all-new socket, LGA1150, which means it will not be compatible with LGA1155 boards. The reason behind this is that Intel have implemented drastic changes in the pin map of the package.
There has been a major change with the component arrangement in the platform that is affecting Haswell's pin map, more specifically, it's Haswell's higher bandwidth chipset bus, rearranged PCIe pins (with FDI pins), rearranged power pins, and miscellaneous pins. It also throws away the separate power domain for the integrated graphics controller.

Sandy Bridge-E chips spotted on British Retailer website
A British retailer has listed two hexa-core Intel Sandy Bridge-E chips on their website, the Core i7-3930K and Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition. The i7-3960X is priced at £850.79 (inclusive of taxes) which coverts to roughly US$1,361.
The unlocked Core i7-3930K sits at £477.59 (inclusive of taxes) which is around US$764. Earlier this month a Chinese retailer listed these chips, at different prices. The Chinese retailer had the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition at the equivalent of US$1,227 with the Core i7-3930K sitting at roughly US$912.
The British store is $150 cheaper on the Core i7-3930K, but still a long way from the $583 price point that the chip is meant to be. Then we have the British store quoting a price of $130 higher for the Extreme Edition-flavored Core i7-3960X. Whichever way you look at it, we'll be waiting for proper pricing and its not long to go. This is also what happened when the competition is bulldozed at launch.

A Taste of Ybor 2013
Gulf Ridge Council, BSA
Saturday, November 9, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM
One of the Gulf Ridge Council's more popular events returns Nov. 9 at a new location in Tampa's Ybor City. The Ritz Ybor opened in 1917 as the Rivoli Theater. Renamed the Ritz Theater in 1945, the building was listed in the Register of National Historic Places in 1973 and part of the National Historic Landmark District in 1989. The building was renovated and reopened June 26, 2008 and is one of Tampa's special events venues.
Come and watch cigar rollers create Tampa's most familiar product the way it was done for many years. Dance to the moving sounds of a live band, enjoy fantastic food and delicious drinks, and make a bid on a favorite item in the silent auction and get caught up in the live auction. It all gets under way at 7 p.m. on a new day, Saturday, Nov. 9 at a new location, The Ritz Ybor. We hope to see you there.

Charles Bargue drawing school project(critique please)
Hey I'm new to conceptart.org, and don't really know how to go about this so I'll just wing it. This is a school project, I was tasked with copying a Bargue drawing to the best of my abilities. I'm in the later stages and I'm looking for ways to improve the project. I sort of want artist and people with fresher eyes than mine to point out mistakes or improvements that can be made. I'm sure I missed some. I included the original copy for reference.
Sorry for the crappy photo. My scanner ain't working at the moment, so again sorry.

Yeah, pretty hard to compare and contrast with a low quality image like this, but:
- yours looks a tad thick, but oh well
- a touch softer on the shading at the center of the knee cap
- more/stronger shading on both sides of calf muscles
- better defined inner ankle bone
- a bit darker on the upper surface of the block
- assuming you're already using the darkest tone possible on the darkest tones
a scanned in comparison would be awesome! Overall, not too shabby!

Thanks, and yeah, the too thick part I have noticed consistently throughout, and have made changes. Thanks for the great feedback.

Your contour's are off. Look at the plate and see how the edges recede, giving the feel of roundness to the upper leg. Actually, you've got that same effect going for the entire leg. His ankle is flat in the front and lacks depth.
When you do a study like this you have to try and imagine the contours of the form, working the shadows with that in mind.
The toes don't extend out enough. They're too bunched back, & the fourth toe doesn't show touching the base.
Believe me, I know what it's like to do barque's plates (see Sketchbook).
