Our Clinical Pharmacology MSc aims to develop your research skills, your knowledge of clinical drugs and their use in the real world.
Common themes throughout this MSc programme include molecular pharmacology and toxicology within the fields of disease, the drug discovery process and drug design and development.
The programme will enable you to access leading academic and industry experts and provide you with valuable networking opportunities. Coupled with the skills and experience that you will gain throughout your studies, your employability and career prospects will be improved.
The MSc is ideal for recent graduates, medics and scientists, who would like to improve their career prospects, fill skills gaps and further their hands-on research experience.
MSc 12 months full-time or 24 months part-time | On-campus learning | September start
[Jump to: Programme Team | Assessment | Teaching]
The taught part of our MSc Clinical Pharmacology programme extends over two terms. It consists of approximately 150 hours of lectures and 10 days of practical classes in addition to tutorials, seminars and teaching.
Over the last four months of the programme, students will undertake a project involving original research. The research will be linked to the areas of interest of the college and staff but special interests can be accommodated. The project is presented in the form of a thesis.
This course will improve your employability skills. I-SEE (Individualised self-assessment to enhance employability) is a bespoke online resource developed to help identify your strengths and areas needing improvement. The self-assessment process allows you to identify development areas for employability skills like communication, IT and numeracy skills and personal attributes like creativity, organisation and timekeeping, flexibility, team working. This leads to automated, tailored feedback and signposting to self-study to assist in improving your CV. Reflection and an e-portfolio will assist in articulation of these enhanced skills/attributes during mock interviews. Some sessions are compulsory, but otherwise it involves self-directed learning. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This course will cover a wide range of topics related to basic and molecular pharmacology. It will include revision of receptor theory and intra- and inter- cellular communication. Cancer will be used as model disease and the molecular basis of cancer, how it is treated, clinical issues, drug resistance and chemotherapy and prevention. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This course provides advanced level drug metabolism and includes the importance of drug transporters in the drug discovery process, dealing with molecular toxicology and pharmacology at an advanced level. Mechanisms of drug and oxidative stress and immunopharmacology are described. External experts are invited to provide their unique expertise on a range of topics which can include toxicopathology, immunotoxicology, risk assessment and an industrial perspective on the drug discovery process. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This course will describe and review the use of medicinal compounds in man together with methods to assess and describe efficacy and toxicity. A number of exemplar disease areas and at risk populations will be selected and the drugs used to treat these conditions and populations discussed and explained. The importance of understand drug mechanisms of action and associated risk as well as benefit will be emphasised in a clinical setting. The course will consider both drugs in current use and those in development. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This course intends to develop the student's awareness of the fact that statistical techniques are integral to scientific research. Researchers must be able to specify a precise research question in statistical terms and then select an appropriate study design in order to carry out an effective research project. They must also be able to assess the adequacy of the research presented in scientific or medical literature. The same skills are also required for many MSc dissertation projects. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This course will comprise of lectures, tutorials and seminars. The curriculum will provide an in-depth look at pharmacovigilance using examples from both first and third world countries and will include detection of adverse drug reactions; causality assessment; prevention of adverse drug reactions including correct prescribing, prevention of drug errors and promotion of rational drug use; and communication of risk-benefit information to the general public. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This course will provide you with an introduction to evidence-based medicine. It will also include a description of the elements of pharmaceutical research as well as of the drug development process. Read full details in our course catalogue.
Pharmacokinetics describes "what the body does to a drug" and thus is a central feature of applied pharmacology. The course will develop an understanding of the role that pharmacokinetics play in all aspects of drug administration, distribution, metabolism and excretion and how these effects can be modelled and predicted graphically and mathematically. Such modelling is a fundament of therapeutic regimen design, drug development, clinical pharmacology and drug safety and will be considered within all of these contexts providing a broad and relevant appreciation of the importance of pharmacokinetics to the pharmacologist. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This course reviews a range of methodologies that are currently used in basic research. Experts in the various techniques describe the methodology and showcase the equipment. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This is a short introductory course to outline the basics of the commercialisation of bio scientific ideas.
The main aim of this course is to introduce you to the language of business and demystify some of the jargon that surrounds business models, intellectual property rights (IPR) and finance. This is an opportunity to understand the basics of Bio-business and the commercialisation of bioscience. Read full details in our course catalogue.
This is a 16 week project for MSc students. A list of proposed projects, based on the work currently being undertaken by lecturing staff, is distributed to the students early in the second half session. Students undertaking a laboratory based research project must attend the BT5902 short course Basic Lab Skills.
The programme will be delivered by a multidisciplinary team of world renowned and vastly experienced researchers in clinical pharmacology with each course having its own specialised co-ordinator(s) as follows:
Each course has its own continuous assessment criteria based on the progress of practical and course work as well as a written degree examination. Progression to a research project is dependent on performance in the individual courses. The MSc project is assessed with the submission of a thesis and via examination.
The teaching of our MSc Clinical Pharmacology programme is lecture based with self-directed learning, practical classes (where appropriate) and tutorials to support the lecture material. External experts are also regularly invited to provide specialist expertise. Many lectures are recorded via Camtasia and can be viewed again whenever they are needed.
The MSc makes the most of hands-on learning to enable repeated exposure to evidence-based practice using real life examples. Some of the teaching methods employed in the programme include:
On-going support is provided by the University's dedicated, interdisciplinary team of experienced researchers, who will be tutoring you. Peer support will develop throughout the course(s) as engagement with students from other countries and disciplines is actively encouraged.
Much of the teaching on this course is participatory and students are expected to consolidate all taught content by completing related tasks and activities and engaging in independent study in their own time.

While Coachella Valley Preserve may be known for its palm oasis, it also boasts a trail with great views – Herman's Hike. The loop hike takes hikers to three oasis, two viewpoints and shows off the area's scenery to the north, south, east and west.
I recommend starting the hike at the Visitor's Center (directions below). It's a good place to get a preserve map and check on trail conditions before you head out. While the docent recommended doing the Herman's Hike loop clockwise, I decided to hike it counter-clockwise because I've struggled to find the trails at Willis Palms.
From the Visitor's Center, walk outside and turn right. You're now hiking through Thousand Palms Oasis – one of the largest groves of desert fan palms in California. This oasis has a system of boardwalks through the palms and over the water in the area. Hopefully you'll notice the numbered signs in the area. Those numbers correspond with the trail guide on the back of your map. If you read the trail guide as you hike by the signs, you'll learn more about the palm trees (like they grow up to 60 feet high), the San Andreas Fault in this area, the plants, the climate and the animals who live here.
The nature trail winds through the desert toward McCallum Grove (oasis). About a half mile from the Visitor's Center, you'll come to a "neighborhood" of sorts with at least two houses. There's also a trail split here for Moon Country. I recommend staying on the main trail to McCallum Grove. Just before you reach McCallum Grove, you'll come to another trail split for Moon Country. I recommend hiking the short distance to McCallum Grove and walking around the ponds here. McCallum Grove is a peaceful place. There is typically a good sized pond here. As you walk around the water, look for crayfish and frogs in the water and maybe ducks on the surface.
When you're done exploring McCallum Grove, return to that last trail split for Moon Country and head west.
After hiking across the flat desert, the trail to Moon Country begins to gain a little elevation in this next section. Notice the hills here and of course, the views. Follow the signs for Vista Point. It's about a third of a mile from the last trail split to a sign that marks Vista Point. Turn and walk a few steps to a nice view point of the area. Look for the tell-tale green areas that mark the nearby oasis. Enjoy the views of the nearby hills and the wash below you. You may even see a few homes.
When you're done, return to the main trail as it begins to wind through moon country. Soon the trail gets rockier as it winds through the hills. About 2.4 miles from the Visitors Center, the trail drops back to the main wash and a split. As you hike down to the wash, look across the wash to the hills across the way, you should see a trail crisscrossing up the hill on the other side of the wash. That's Herman's Hike.
At the wash, you can turn right and head into the nearby canyons, but I suggest heading across the wash straight toward Herman's Hike. The bottom of the trail had a generic sign for the preserve in 2013 – it only said Coachella Valley Preserve. However, the trail going up the hill, on the southwest side of the wash, is the Herman's Hike Trail.
Now the hike gets harder. You're about to climb some 600+ feet in the next mile. When the trail gets steep, take a break and enjoy the views. As you get higher, you'll see views of the Moon Country canyons to the northwest and even the Visitor's Center to the west. At the top, you'll get great views to the south including the Coachella Valley stretching from the east to the west.
It's about 3.5 miles to the top of the mountain at 1,260 feet high. (You can cut that by about 0.75 miles by skipping McCallum Grove and taking the shorter Moon Country Trail in the wash, instead of the ridge, but that wouldn't be as scenic.)
The plateau at the top doesn't last longer and just a few steps later, you'll find you're already hiking downhill. Watch your step and enjoy the views. Make sure you look at the ridges and canyons below you – one canyon looked very "moon-like" to me with muddy craters.
It's about another mile from the top to the next split at the Willis Loop. Take a look at your map. Hikers can turn right here to add a little more distance and come out on the far west side of the Willis Palms oasis. I wanted to see Willis Palms, but I didn't need the longer distance so I turned left here. Interestingly, the trail changed here. It went from a single-track hiking trail, to a wide road. On the map, it showed the trail changed from a hiker-only trail to a hiker and equestrian trail – maybe that's why it was wider.
As I continued downhill, I saw a couple more trail splits that were unmarked. However, I think both were old trails, because when I looked closely, they either went nowhere or they had a line of rocks across the path to mark them as closed.
Eventually I hit another signed trail split marking Willis Palms or trailhead. Well, since I walked all this way, I chose Willis Palms. The Willis Palms Trail is a skinnier, hiker-only trail again. It crossed a plateau, went over a ridge and then dropped down into the oasis. The trail down to the oasis is rocky and steep, but it was worth it. When the trail ended in the oasis, the temperature in the trees was cooler and refreshing.
Quite honestly, I lost the trail here. I'm not sure where it went. But since I had been to Willis Palms before, I knew to hike down the hill, through the trees, to the wash below. It was just a short distance from the canopy of the trees to the trail that runs along the south side of the oasis. However, as soon as I left the tree cover, the temperature went back. It was a good reminder that you need to hike here when it's cooler and bring plenty of water.
At the wash/trail, turn left/southeast. Enjoy the palms as you walk through them and by them. You may notice many of the palm trees here have burned trunks. A fire swept through this area in November 2010. It appears the fire burned the dead fronds and debris, but most of the trees survived. In 2013, the green fronds were growing on top and the trees looked healthy. Be careful walking through the trees though, you don't want to damage the fragile landscape. As for the cause of the fire, most articles say the cause was never determined.
The hike from the Willis Palms oasis back to the main road is about a half mile. At the very small parking lot, it's decision time. Technically, the trail crosses the road and winds through the desert on the east side of the road. Quite honestly, I took the road back, but hiking in the desert will be more scenic and safer. From the Willis Palms trailhead back to the parking lot is about 2 miles.
Details: The hike around the loop with the loop around McCallum Pond, hiking the Moon County ridge and taking the trail to Willis Palms is about 8.25 miles with about 800 feet of elevation gain.

The temple of Karnak is a monument made by many pharaohs. The
temple itself was mainly dedicated to the god Amun. Located on
the east bank of Thebes, the temple's construction began around
the early Middle Kingdom and continued through the New Kingdom.
As each pharaoh succeeded the throne they continually added
buildings, statues, and temples. The temple grew outward and
became a series of many temples that were combined.
A major characteristic of Karnak is the avenue of the ram-headed
sphinxes. These sphinxes were sacred to Amun and the pharaohs
placed them there to symbolize their protection. The sphinxes
lead to the entrance of two main entrances—east and west.
Inside the temple and located towards the center, a scared lake
was located on each wing of the temple. The lakes represented
creation and were believed to be used by priests who would
perform rituals. The biggest of the two lakes was dug by
Tuthmosis III and was done is a rectangle. It is one of the most
well preserved lakes to date.
The temple's main attraction is the columns located in the Great
Hypostyle Hall. There are a total of 134 columns. The central
nave is held up by 12 columns which are 70 ft tall and have a
diameter of 18 feet. The columns gave clues as to how the temple
functioned through inscriptions and carvings.
Another noticeable trait is the pylons. The pylons are massive
gateways that define the approach of the entrance. The temple
has ten and they are often referred to the First Pylon (Nectanebo
I), Second Pylon (19th Dynasty), Third Pylon (Amenhotep III),
Fourth Pylon (Thutmose I), Fifth Pylon (Thutmose I), Sixth Pylon
(Thutmose III), Seventh Pylon (Thutmose III), Eight Pylon (Hapshepsut),
Ninth Pylon (Horemheb) and the Tenth Pylon (Horemheb) .

Friday is a very big day in Las Animas. The bill that will allow the Fort Lyon facility to be reopened as a staging ground to get homeless people back into a more successful life will be signed at the parade grounds at Fort Lyon.
In existence since before 1862, when it was renamed Fort Lyon (formerly Fort Wise), the fort has served as a United States Army Fort, a sanatorium, a neuropsychiatry facility and a minimum security prison. The state closed the prison in 2011, and in 2013 proposed to use the site as a rehabilitation center for homeless people. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since 2011, Bent County officials, headed up by Commissioner Bill Long, have worked tirelessly to restore Fort Lyon and its jobs to southeastern Colorado.
Lisa Trigilio, executive director of the Bent County Development Foundation, is extending an invitation to join Bent County and Gov. John Hickenlooper as they celebrate the signing of SB13-210. The governor will be signing the bill at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 24, on the parade grounds at the Fort Lyon facility. Among the state legislators present will be State Senators Larry Crowder and Angela Giron, State Representatives Crisanta Duran and Tim Dore. Commissioners and other representatives from Otero, Kiowa and Prowers counties will attend, as well as Director of the Department of Local Affairs Reeves Brown.
After the ceremony, the Bent County Commissioners invites the public to a barbecue luncheon. RSVP to Lisa Trigilio at 456-0452 if you can attend, preferably by May 22.
What: Gov. John Hickenlooper signs bill restoring Fort Lyon to life
When: 10 a.m. May 24, barbecue to follow

Product details
Creative Minds is a six-part series of documentary interviews that brings the audience into intimate contact with leading figures in the Australian art world. They are in conversation with Robin Hughes, award-winning documentary producer, director and writer.
Sometimes controversial, sometimes moving, always intriguing – Creative Minds sits down with our Australian artistic icons Geoffrey Rush, Bill Henson, Stephen Page, Kate Grenville, Elena Kats-Chernin and Robyn Archer to discuss their life story and the influences that inform their work.
Episode 1: BILL HENSON
A rare insight into one of Australia's most successful and most controversial artists. Bill Henson's artistry has turned subjects ranging from urban and suburban landscape, to Parisian opera-goers, to nude adolescents, into images of breathtaking beauty. This program reveals his motivation, the way he works, why his work has achieved its international success and how he coped with the media storm that broke around his images of adolescents.
Episode 2: GEOFFREY RUSH
Geoffrey Rush is the only Australian actor to win an Oscar®, an Emmy and a Tony. Always the character actor, and rarely the hero, his performances are famous for their physicality. But what were the influences on his work? Geoffrey talks about Arthur Koestler, the LeCoq Mime School in Paris, and the years when going on stage produced panic attacks. He muses on hats, his most difficult co-star, and the unpredictability of success.
Episode 3: KATE GRENVILLE
Kate Grenville discusses the relationship between her life and her writing revealing the wellsprings of her creativity and her love of words. She talks about her triumphs and failures and how and why she writes. Her themes include; feminism, cultural stereotyping, rebellion, sexual abuse, marriage, family and dispossession.
Episode 4: ELENA KATS-CHERNIN
Elena Kats-Chernin was born in the USSR where her musical talent was discovered and first nurtured. She and her family eventually migrated to Australia where she studied piano and composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. After further studies in Germany she began to discover her own unique voice, a combination of modernism and the tonal music that springs from her Russian roots. Today she is considered one of Australia's most intriguing and creative composers.
Episode 5: ROBYN ARCHER
Robyn Archer has gone from a Housing Commission suburb of Adelaide to the Festival Hall in London. As a cabaret singer, she mixes high art with low culture. As a child with chronic asthma, she faced death, and dosed up on adrenaline. As a committed feminist lesbian, she credits the men in her life with creating her career opportunities. Robyn Archer believes in saying yes to everything.
Episode 6: STEPHEN PAGE
In conversation with Robin Hughes, Stephen Page, indigenous dancer, choreographer and theatrical story-teller, steps thoughtfully through his own rich life, from childhood influences and family tragedy, to his mature creative work as Artistic Director of Bangarra, Australia's premier indigenous dance theatre company.
Product Reviews (1)
Inspiring series. Found the interviews refreshing in terms of angle taken by robin's questions, not the usual fare that sees the same answers trotted out. I was captivated by the revelations, the honesty and the conversational style. Hope more are on the way!!?

Velvet Ice Cream, maker of old-fashioned, hand-crafted ice cream, turns 100-years old on May 1, 2014. Based in Utica, Ohio, the company was started by Joseph Dager and is still family-owned and operated by the fourth generation Dager family. These days, they produce over five million gallons of ice cream every year from their headquarters at Ye Olde Mill and welcome over 150,000 visitors each year for tours, tastings, and events.
A series of summer-long celebrations commence on May 1, 2014 and will include the launch of several new all-natural flavors as well as a Velvet Ice Cream cookbook. Every Sunday, visitors to Velvet's Ye Olde Mill will also enjoy free entertainment, including live music and clowns. And on July 20th, visitors can celebrate National Ice Cream Day with buy one-get-one-free ice cream cones.
Ye Olde Mills consists of 25-acres of wooded countryside and rolling, pastoral farmlands, perfect for a family outing. The grounds house an ice cream and milling museum, a restaurant, playground, picnic area and catch-and-release fish pond. That's probably why Frommer's named Ye Olde Mill as one of "America's 10 Best Ice Cream Factory Tours."
Mark your calendar for a summer visit and celebration to Ye Olde Mille for Velvet Ice Cream. And be sure to try an Ohio favorite: Buckeye Classic. This state favorite consists of peanut-butter ice cream with swirled chocolate fudge and chocolate-covered peanut butter candies. Yumm!

Simply Burgers is a small burger restaurant that serves "Simply Burgers". They carry a large menu of a lot of simple burgers made from scratch, but at a better quality than you normally see from little places like this.
I selected the jalapeno cheeseburger with handcut fries. I really liked that a small place like this would go through the hassle of preparing fries from fresh potatoes. Many have crashed and burned before doing this, so I was curious to see how they would turn out.
The place was super busy the entire time we were there. That was a good sign. The wait was probably 10 minutes and they actually served the burgers at the table. As you can see on the pictures I took, the burger looks mighty good, right? It was a good solid traditional burger. The jalapeno was actually sautéed a little bit, but it was not too spicy. I think they can serve them a little spicier. The meat was cooked well-done (their only option) was still juicy and had a beefy taste. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The fries were REALLY good. Not the fries I've had, but close. They were firm and crispy for the most part and had the good fresh potato taste that fresh fries have.
Simply Burgers make great traditional solid burgers. You have to try one next time you are in the area.

Atop the Janiculum in Rome, more than a hundred portrait busts memo- rialize soldiers and civilians who fought for the Roman Republic during the period of Risorgimento. The busts range in date from the 1850s to the 1930s, and have been subject to various efforts at restoration and repair.
Here, these depictions of the dead come alive as photographs, our gaze met by a collection of differentiated individuals, collapsing back into marble only when we notice the cracks in their noses or cobwebs beneath their brows.

Occupational Hazard
I have no idea what being Korean American is all about or what it means or what the implications are. But, I love spicy food and I've come to learn that there is no problem too large that cannot be solved with tons of drinks, crazy friends and a karaoke room. This was taught to me by Korean Americans.
I think being KA has been weird for me because I was adopted at five and grew up in a tiny town not very fond of Asians in general in the midwest (is this a very familiar story, or what?!). I returned to Korea when I was 19, where I was heartbroken for the first time in my life: I had hoped to meet my birth mother, but it just didn't happen. Since then, I have written about that experience, talked on panels, and volunteered with Korean adoptee mentorship programs, international orphanages, and foster-care programs in the US. However, I've never been able to address, really, why I did all of those things — went through all of those efforts. I dunno. Maybe, I just wanted to understand why it's so complicated/weird/fun/lovable/interesting to be Korean American. I love literature & have been writing for most of my life. I'm taking a respite from corporate life to pursue writing fiction for the next two years in graduate school hoping to explore this some more & would love to hear the experiences of others.

Cepaea nemoralis in Frederick County, Maryland
Starting in the summer of 2009 and continuing into the following winter, I wrote several posts about our surveys of the introduced European snail Cepaea nemoralis in Maryland (see, for example, this post and this post). While our survey was underway and later during the preparation of the manuscript, I was secretive about the exact location of the snails. The paper, co-authored with Tim Pearce and Jim Sparks came out recently in the March issue of American Malacological Bulletin. You may download a pdf version of it from here.
And so the location of our Cepaea nemoralis is no longer a secret: there is a nice map in the paper. Also, as we mention in the paper, a list of our collection stations with GPS coordinates is available upon request.

I just want to move dirs. I looked successively at mv, cp and rsync, since each tool in turn didn't seem to have the option to remove directories from source after copying them. For instance, mv needs files, not dirs, when src and dst are on different devices:
"inter-device move failed: src to dst; unable to remove target: Is a directory"
Perhaps the simplest way to do this is by using an additional deletion cmd, although I'd prefer not to use it, since that increases risk of data loss.

Ok Penny is a big 15hh. cob that when she has her full feathers looks like she should be pulling a wagon. But she a has a great jump on her(shes 18 and still enjoys jumping overa meter)
But the other day we were at a pony club showjumping training rally and before we went in I heard some people saying stuff like"Why the hell did she turn up on that thing?" and " Shes cracked to think she'll get anything done with a carthorse like that" and " Why's a carthorse at pony club?" too quote a few. And this was coming from the MOTHERS AND FATHERS!. We ahdto warm up on our own as the instructor was dealing with 2 very nervous riders with mad ponies. All the kids of them were jeering at me (they had little sportponies that were so hot and fast) and their ponies were husling Penny. She was so good and didn't do anything but I told some of the riders that if they came near me again I would use me whip on them!(not messing I have a very bad temper)
But I jumped the highest in the class,half the little "real jumpers" either messed up the course or bucked their little terrors of riders off. But as I came out of the arena one othe mothers came up to me and said(I am quoting here) "That's a lovely 5 year old you have there. It's a pity its a cob though. I've come across many in my time and once they turn 6 their jumping skill just keeps going downhill by about 10cms per year!"
In reply I said "Really?! Wow! I never knew that. Pennys like 18 so if it goes down 10 cms per year she must have been jumping about 2.20meters when she was 6! That interesting to know. Thanks"
You should have seen her face. My friends and favourite riding instructor were listening and they just couldn't stop laughing!
But why are some people just so bitchy?! I know not all people are like this but some people like this just give pony club a bad name for being bitchy. Like I am 14, why say these things to me about my pony which I have a great bond with which everybody says is totally clear. But she was about 40? WHY?!
It's ok if you give up as long as you come back later to try again.

Try not to let this sort of thing affect your enjoyment you and your pony have, he sounds lovely. As to why people are like this, you'll most probably never know, but one thing for sure it's got nothing to do with you. It's their problem that they have with whatever it is and they take it out on others. Rise above it, it's their failing not yours. Hope that helps a bit. x
Yes thanks. I do try to rise above it but who can stand by while every body has a go at your horse just be cause it isn't a sport pony.

I left pony club after one visit cos of the nastiness I overhead over my heavy cob - exact same attitude
-couldn't believe it - even worse was them walking away when we approached to make friends - so I just potter around on my own unfortunately but that's what life throws at us - upsets me sometimes when I think of it - I was 45 years old at the time with my first ever horse and totally new to horses - was just wanting some horsey friends - that was 7 years ago and I've still no confidence to go anywhere - would so loved to do LeTrec before me or the horse pegs out
[This Reply has been modified by the Author]
It must be difficult I know. Put some ear muffs on . If you've got somebody/your friends with you stick with and chat with them, and distance yourself a bit from others that say nasty things. If it really is very horrible, I would ask an instructor or adult to have a chat with these people to ask them to show a little more respect.
Ya I forgot to say that my dad went over and ate the head off them for "trying to crush the dreams of a little girl!" LOL I got my temper from him anyway! All they said was theat they were just telling me straight that I might aswell give up hope of a jumping carrer as long as I had Penny.
I'm glad im not the only one that has this happen to them though it's horrible and made worst by the fatc this was said by a 40 year old lady who has "been in the business" for 30 odd years.
And I think I will pick up some ear muffs SuzyA. Can you recommend any good brands? Luckily these people don't turn up to the rallies much as "they don't find the instuctors up to standerd anymore. They only came to this one as it was run by a famous rider(famous round here where I am in Ireland anyway) So I don't have to put up with them much anyway.

People have this image of a cob pulling a cart, and just can't get it out of their head, when in fact a cob can turn its hoof to pretty much anything, and as they're so intelligent they pick things up really easily as well.
You can tell I love cobs, can't you haha ??
I've had my old girl, an Irish cob, for something like 12 years now, and she's my horse of a lifetime - ok, not so hot at dressage, but she was an amazing jumper (retired now) and had a turn of speed that would leave a lot of others behind if we were out hacking together and had a gallop over a field.
And the pony club thing - sounds like the well known "pony club mother" to me - I think they've spent such a lot of money on their little darlings well bred pony, they're terrified that some other child on a common cob will come along and show them all up, which of course very often happens!!
I know it's difficult to ignore them, but whatever you do, please carry on enjoying being with your pony, it sounds like you get on really well together :o)
The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man - Winston Churchill
Yes and the fact Penny backs up that image pretty well doesn't help! Honesly i think she was bred to pull a gypsey wagon she lookls like those tradition ones that sometimes are in the parades round here. All feathers flying and huge manes. Yes I heard her say to someone that the pony was new and cost a nice tidy sum of 3,500. We are in a ressesion love? Penny is on free loan. I love showing people like that up though. I'm sort of evil like that..........

When I first bought Tonka a Piebald Gypsy Cob from the riding school which was closing, the nasty remarks I got like, " you must not complain as it will be ashame if you have not Tonka asked why they thought no one would buy a Gypsy Cob and as I would talk to others not just Full Livery Owners so thought had him on loan, then another "never mind you can get a better horse in 12 months" then the famous or infamous problem brought on by a new girl working at the yard putting all horses out together geldings and mares and the one TB mare owner complained that my "Horrible Piebald Cob" had molested her mare plus another 12 mares could not stop laughing. What is even funnier is the one owner who was nasty about Tonka a few years later bought a Tonka and said what a horse did not know what she had been missing all these years. Then people went all funny on me because I took a rescue ex-racehorse on a 17.2h Chestnut Mare with what do you want with a horse like that at your age (60 at the time). Now have a Belgian Warmblood Mare and have nasty comments about Mares and she is too much for me and I want a plod a good Cob. This comment amused as Tonka my old Cob looked a plod but could go from stand to gallop, clocked doing 36 mph, and his trot was most other horses canter, his jumping not good but once frightened the life out of me jumped 7ft from stand, was good at dressage could do it after watching better at it than his owner, understood word commands. Another nasty was aked where I went on holiday and when I said Porlock, Somerset, the one person said did not like it down there as it was them and us and you did not talk to anyone unless they spoke to you first as it was very much Lord's of the Manor, could not help myself when I said I did not have any problems as my Great Great Grandfather was Lord of the Manor at Pluckly in Kent you should have seen there faces, one of my friends said they could tell what I was saying was the truth the answer was yes and they had gone bankrupt with the south sea bubble. I cannot help also winding some of these characters up and will take the you know what.

This sort of behaviour really annoys me ! Why are some people just so small minded and stupid !! Your cob sounds absolutely lovely, if they have'nt got anything positive to say then they should keep their thoughts to themselves. I actually think jealousy plays a big part in all of this and a lack of confidence on their part. There is nothing worse than a spolit little brat, I just feel sorry for their ponies !!

Brideshead Revisited
by Evelyn Waugh
Lady Julia Flyte Timeline and Summary
- Charles passes Julia on her way to Brideshead as he and Sebastian are leaving from his first visit to the estate.
- Anthony describes Julia as intelligent, beautiful, and a fiend.
- Charles officially meets Julia when he's hurrying to Brideshead under the impression that Sebastian is dying. She informs him that Sebastian merely broke a small bone in his foot. Charles is captivated by her similarities to her brother.
- Julia comes to visit Charles and Sebastian at Oxford, bringing Rex Mottram with her. She and Rex invite the boys to a party.
- In the aftermath of the Ma Mayfield fiasco, Julia says she was bored at the ball and the men should have taken her with them – after all, she's always wanted to see Ma Mayfield's.
- When Charles tries to broach the topic of Sebastian's alcoholism with her, Julia is flippant and uncaring, calling her brother "boring."
- Julia is with the others at Brideshead over the Christmas holiday, just after Sebastian has returned from Europe with Mr. Samgrass and Lady Marchmain is trying to stop his drinking. Again she responds to her brother's alcoholism with casual annoyance. Charles concludes that she cares more about the family's reputation than his health or happiness.
- Julia receives a tortoise from Rex with her initials placed in the shell in diamonds.
- Rex later reports that Julia realized Samgrass was lying about Sebastian and called him on it in front of her mother.
- After Rex discusses his wishes to marry Julia, Charles explores her character. He claims he is so interested in her because she is so like Sebastian. When he first met her, she was 18 and trying to decide whom to marry. Rex's darker side appealed to her.
- Charles then recounts the way she and Rex met. He was having an affair with Brenda Champion and Julia was staying nearby with her Aunt. After they met, Rex pursued her relentlessly.
- One night, after flaking on hanging out with Julia, Rex spends the night with Brenda. Julia finds out. When Rex comes to make amends, they end up engaged. Julia explains that the only way she could justify her anger at Rex for sleeping with Brenda is by being involved with him herself.
- Julia and Rex start hooking up until Julia has a moral and religious crisis and cuts him off. So Rex gets it from Brenda Champion instead. Julia goes to her priest to explain why she needs to hook up with Rex premaritally, but he won't give her permission to do so. So she says screw it and starts up the monkey business with Rex again.
- When Rex can't get permission to marry Julia from Lady Marchmain, he gets it instead from Lord Marchmain.
- Julia gets him to convert to Catholicism, and then has to explain to him that, because he's already been married, they can't tie the knot in a Catholic ceremony. So they have it done in a Protestant church instead.
- Years later, Julia explains to Charles her reasons for marrying Rex: she was already deeply involved with him and wanted to make an honest woman of herself. She adds that Rex isn't a complete human being.
- Julia hears that Charles is in England again and contacts him, reporting that Lady Marchmain is dying. She asks Charles to fetch Sebastian back to say good-bye to his mother.
- Aboard his ship back to England from America, Charles and his wife Celia hang out with Julia. While Celia is bed-ridden with seasickness, Charles and Julia catch up.
- Charles believes that Julia's beauty is more complete than ever, in large part due to the store of sadness she possesses.
- Julia fills Charles in on her life. She and Rex tried to have a child, but it was born dead. Rex didn't care because it was a girl. Julia reiterates that Rex is not a whole person, and adds that he doesn't really love her (nor she him).
- The two of them share an obvious ability to communicate beyond words with each other.
- Julia explains that she's lost her religion.
- The two of them begin their affair. Before parting ways, they make plans to meet in London.
- Julia continues her affair with Charles. Ultimately, they decide to both get divorces and marry each other.
- Charles joins Julia at Brideshead.
- When her brother Brideshead arrives, Julia learns of his engagement to Beryl. Bridey insults her and her now loose morals, as she's "living in sin" with Charles while still married to Rex.
- Julia, upset, makes her way outside to the fountain. She confesses to Charles that she believes what Rex said to be true.
- Later, while they argue about religion, Julia gets suddenly angry at Charles for his attitude and hits him twice before crying and apologizing.
- Julia spends time with her sister Cordelia when she comes to visit Brideshead Castle.
- Julia has a talk with Charles about his having forgotten Sebastian. She doesn't like him deeming Sebastian the "forerunner," as she worries she herself is just a forerunner to another love.
- Staring at Julia one night, Charles decides that she has regained what first drew him to her that night on the ship, the "store of magical sadness" that seems to say, "Surely I was made for some other purpose than this?"
- Julia stays at Brideshead with Charles, Bridey, and Cordelia while Lord Marchmain lives out his last months there. Her father explains that he plans to leave the estate to her and Charles, on account of his disdain for Beryl. Julia doesn't have a problem with this and doesn't think Brideshead will either.
- Julia fights with Charles regarding her father's Last Rites. She thinks he should have a priest at his death bed. Julia wins out, and Lord Marchmain even gives the sign of the cross before he dies.
- Afterwards, Julia breaks up with Charles. She explains that, in order for God to forgive her, she has to make a sacrifice – and she chooses to sacrifice the happiness she could have had with Charles.
- In the epilogue, the lieutenant-colonel reports that the estate still belongs to Julia.
- When Charles visits Nanny Hawkins, she reports that Julia is with Cordelia abroad, helping with the war efforts.

Skelly the Skeleton Girl Baby Shower (18 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Every once in awhile you are presented with the opportunity to do something completely unique. That's how I felt planning this baby shower. My dear friend pretty much just said "surprise me" with the theme! A planners dream!!! So the search began with finding the perfect theme for this special lady. She is a unique individual and deserved something original, so after looking at her tattoo for the hundredth time, I decided to create a Skelly the Skeleton Girl baby shower. With her favorite book permanently inked on her arm it seemed like the perfect and most unexpected theme!
The party colors were taken from Skelly the Skeleton Girl book's cover (Jimmy Pickering also wrote and illustrated Skelly & Femur that was also on display). Keeping in the Skelly spirit, I chose purple, orange, and black.
For decor, I recreated images from the book using a projector and then cut out colored sections of paper to create the characters. I did so with permission from the author to use his images with a promise not sell them. (Yes, I REALLY asked! And yes he REALLY responded!) I also used the characters in a few food items. The tablescape apothecary jars contained "Skelly Kisses" and "Femur Treats." These were created by scanning the images, reducing their size and printing them onto sticker paper. Next they were cut out and stuck to the bottom of Hersey's Kisses and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. "Skelly's Spooky S'mores" were created with ghost marshmallow peeps, graham crackers, and Hersey's bars served on a "toast it yourself" platter. Other desserts served were mini caramel apples, poisonous parfaits, purple cake balls, candy corn bark, and pumpkin bars. For appetizers, there was antipasto with garlic bread, a cool pasta salad, and some darling cream cheese cucumber and tuna horseradish tea sandwiches. For drinks, wine, lemonade, soda, and water were served in fabulous skull head glasses. These were a huge hit!
The cake was the focal point of the tablescape. Skelly's friends embellished the entire top layer with Skelly herself walking her pet bat on top.
While enjoying the festivities, guests were asked to fill out a library card questionnaire. Since the guest of honor is looking to add more books to her baby's library, we asked guests to write down their favorite book a child OR their child's favorite book. Library cards were then bound into a mini book for mommy to refer back to when she is needing ideas to expand the family's book collection.
Upon departing, guests were offered chocolate covered pretzels and their choice of Bath & Body Works pumpkin or plum lotion.
It was truly a good time by all!

At Strong4Life, created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, our doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts create fun, easy ways to help your kids eat, move and live healthier. From picky eaters to passionate gamers, we have a slew of simple tips by experts who understand, because we're parents, too.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Physicians at Children's Rehabilitation Associates have family-centered care in mind.
For patients with movement disorders like spasticity or dystonia, Children's offers intrathecal baclofen therapy and management. We use the medication baclofen to manage these disorders that are often associated with cerebral palsy and brain injury. This type of therapy uses a pump and catheter system to deliver baclofen to the spine, which can be more effective than baclofen taken orally. Our physiatrists assess and identify potential patients that could benefit from ITB pump therapy. The decision to use this treatment will be made based on the patient's level of spasticity or dystonia and previous response to other types of therapy.
The goals of intrathecal baclofen therapy are to:
To evaluate effectiveness and identify the potential benefits of intrathecal baclofen pump therapy, our doctors evaluate patients in one of two ways:
Our physiatrists work very closely with neurosurgery as the patient transitions to rehabilitation. After implantation, the pump must be refilled anywhere from every three weeks to six months, depending on the dosage. Children's performs this refill procedure in the office without sedation. Because baclofen withdrawal can be serious, it is necessary that parents keep all baclofen pump refill appointments.

Kapri Bibbs is a name people are learning all over the country.
Bibbs has rushed to greatness this season, setting Colorado State records along the way, with his most profound performance yet coming yesterday afternoon.
He played so well, Bibbs has been recognized for a national honor, per a CSU staff member.
According to Drew Hill, who is the Director of Player Personnel for the Rams, Bibbs was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation Offensive Player of the week for his great game on Saturday.
Their website reads, "Walter Camp, 'The Father of American football,' first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation – a New Haven based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team."
Besides selecting an All-America team at the end of the season, they also pick offensive and defensive Players of the Week each week. Bibbs became the first Colorado State player to earn the award per CSU Media Relations.
The redshirt sophomore ran the Nevada Wolf Pack's defense ragged, racking up 312 yards on 30 carries, as well as four touchdowns. The numbers are awe-inspiring, yes, but it was how he did it that was amazing.
In the first half, he only gained 52 yards, as the Colorado State offense tried to find a rhythm. They finally did after the break, much due to Bibbs' remarkable running.
On the team's first drive out of the locker room, Bibbs took two runs 28 yards, tripping himself up on one and taking the other into the end zone for his first score. His second came on an electric 59-yard scamper, which saw him run into a blocker and come to a complete stop at the line of scrimmage before turning on the jets. The third touchdown was a one-yard plunge through the line, the final score was something special.
With his team up 14 points and looking to run out the clock, Bibbs ran the ball 85 yards – CSU's longest play from scrimmage all season – and cemented the 38-17 victory. His 312 rushing yards are a new Colorado State school record, besting Tony Alford's 310 yards in 1989, and his four touchdowns tied a Rams record.

In what is certain to be one of the most bizarre stories you will read this week, the UK's Independent details how the religious authorities in Saudi Arabia are making a concerted effort to demolish ancient Islamic Holy Sites. While this may seem inexplicable at first, ultimately it may just come down to a power play by an oppressive religious regime not wanting any competition. The religious clerics would clearly rather their people worship them in all their grandeur than let's say the actual people that founded the religion. Just seems like another attempt to cut people off from their history and culture, at which point they become easier to control.
The real inexplicable thing is; where is all the rage throughout the Muslim world about this?
From the Independent:
Just outside the western walls of the current compound are mosques dedicated to Abu Bakr and Umar, as well as the Masjid Ghamama, built to mark the spot where the Prophet is thought to have given his first prayers for the Eid festival. The Saudis have announced no plans to preserve or move the three mosques, which have existed since the seventh century and are covered by Ottoman-era structures, or to commission archaeological digs before they are pulled down, something that has caused considerable concern among the few academics who are willing to speak out in the deeply authoritarian kingdom.
Neither the Saudi Embassy in London nor the Ministry for Foreign Affairs responded to requests for comment when The Independent contacted them this week.
Ten years ago, a mosque which belonged to the Prophet's grandson was dynamited. Pictures of the demolition that were secretly taken and smuggled out of the kingdom showed the religious police celebrating as the building collapsed.
The religious police go to enormous lengths to discourage people from praying at or visiting places closely connected to the time of the Prophet while powerful clerics work behind the scenes to promote the destruction of historic sites.
A pamphlet published in 2007 by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs – and endorsed by the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al Sheikh – called for the dome to be demolished and the graves of Mohamed, Abu Bakr and Umar to be flattened. Sheikh Ibn al-Uthaymeen, one of the 20th century's most prolific Wahabi scholars, made similar demands.
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

A vadose zone recharge well works like a condensed drainage pit.
Adapted from the concept of dry wells that collect and disperse stormwater runoff in parking lots and other large paved areas to the underground, vadose zone recharge wells are dug in the unsaturated zone of sand and gravel material above the groundwater table, commonly known as the vadose zone. From there, reclaimed water percolates through clay, sand, gravel, and silt layers laterally and vertically into the groundwater aquifer (see drawing).
"While they require less space and are more cost-effective than surface infiltration basins, the wells can't be rehabilitated like other recharge technologies," says Floyd Marsh, water resources manager and practice leader for the Phoenix office of Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam Inc. Well lifespan is estimated at five to 10 years.
Therefore, the water that's injected into the wells must be treated to very high levels—preferably Class A+ quality—to prevent clogging from particulates such as total suspended solids and total organic carbons. In addition to slowing infiltration, these materials lessen the well's effective life.
"The reclaimed water has a high nutrient load, which allows bacteria already in the soil to flourish," says Gary Small of Phoenix-based HydroSystems Inc., which specializes in developing recharge solutions. "Disinfecting and filtrating at the surface helps to ensure that the water injected into these wells is of a very high quality."
To achieve this objective, the project team recommended a filter that has 98% particle removal efficiency and provides a cost-effective solution with a small footprint.
Instead of a membrane, the AFR Series-8 internal backflushing filter from Eaton Filtration of Portage, Mich., uses a stainless steel wire mesh screen to filter suspended solids and micro-organisms down to 2 microns. Filters used in Surprise, Ariz.'s project will remove 5-micron particles at a removal efficiency of 98.6%.

Happy New Year!
January 7, 2013
Dear Parents, Students and Staff,
When we began the 2012-2013 school year with a strong showing of Red and Orange Pride at the Convocation, I knew it was going to be a great year – and it has been! As we headed into the holidays, we had already weathered financial worries, seen the passage of Prop 30 to ease some of those issues, dug in deeper into the implementation of Common Core State Standards, seated spectators in the new bleachers at LGHS, watched our SHS Marching Band in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and saw our Nova students win the Division II - Alternative Program Volleyball Championship!
Los Gatos – Saratoga High School District is a great place to learn to work – and that's due to the commitment and passion our teachers bring to work each day, not to mention the papers graded during the wee hours and weekends, and the strong community support we enjoy. You are all educators and role-models, whether you're in the classroom providing instruction and support, working around campus, making sure things run smoothly, making sure your kids have the support at home to learn and thrive. And, as I watch our students give back to the community and those less fortunate through programs such as the Family Giving Tree, Toys for Tots, the Second Harvest Food Drive, and Kiva, it's evident you're all incredible role-models. Thank you!
George De Wilde advises us "Time for work - yet take much holiday for art's and friendship's sake"and I echo his thoughts. You accomplish so much for our students and in support of each other and I hope you took time to rest and enjoy traditions, friends and family. Thank you for an incredible semester and the privilege of working with you!
I look forward to a great new year!
Bob Mistele, Superintendent

Daniel Vasquez: Boost Mobile lowers monthly unlimited plans for on-time payments
Boost Mobile is rewarding customers of unlimited talk and text plans who make their payments on time – by reducing monthly charges to as low as $30 a month.
The $30 mark for unlimited plans is one of the lowest I've seen from a major carrier in Florida. This is how it works: With the Talk & Text Unlimited Plan, it pays to make on-time payments. For every six on-time payments, customers will watch their monthly payment shrink by $5 per month, starting at $45 a month and eventually dropping as low as $30 a month. Even better, payments do not need to be consecutive to qualify for these saving milestones. How is that for a break?
This limited-time offer is available in all Boost Mobile retail locations throughout South and Central Florida from March 29 through May 31. The company offers three phones to choose from, LG Rumor Reflex, Motorola Theory, and Sanyo Innuendo from Kyocera. The cost of the phones range from $59.99 to $79.99.
And the savings are grandfathered: Customers who activate on the offer during the promotional period will continue to keep the promotional plan as long as the account is active.
Boost Mobile offers kiosks at various major retailers throughout Florida, including at Walgreens, RadioShack and 7-11. To find a Boost Mobile store near you, visit the Boost Mobile Web site.

Thread: My first sketchbook...
February 13th, 2010 #1
My first sketchbook...
I've been looking at lots of sketchbooks for about a year now and I finally decided to start my own. Right now I'm working as a part time graphic designer. I've been really pushing myself more this past month to further improve on my painting and drawing skills. As I'm getting older I realize that I need to be at a certain level and I don't feel like I am. I started a blog of my drawings about a year or two ago but no one looks at it or gives me any feedback. That is also another reason why I'm starting a sketchbook. The truth is, even though I've been working hard, I've been feeling a little depressed and discouraged because I feel like I'm not improving fast enough and I notice that some people don't need to work as hard as me and they are still a million times better. I just don't think that's fair and I don't get why it takes me longer to remember and understand things. I'm hoping to reach out more to the conceptart community and to hopefully get some encouragement and feedback. The illustrations below are pretty old but the sketches and painting studies are pretty recent. Hope you enjoy and I hope to learn and improve on here. If you would like to visit my website as well, you can go to my site here.

A rough painting I did today...
This is a rough painting I did in the early afternoon. It's nothing special. Just a painting of a spoon. I probably spent about an hour on it. I didn't really feel like finishing it because there are other things that I want to do. Enjoy and comments and crits always welcome. This was done in Photoshop.

Page from sketchbook...
I decided to practice drawing animals from memmory. This is what I came up with. I'm not completely satisfied with the more rendered sketch from below. What do you guys think? I guess I could have worked on it more but my laptop is dying so I need to plug it back in.
February 15th, 2010 #4
some nice stuff here.
you asked for some feedback on the last sketch. it's creepy enouph as is, but looks alittle odd only having an animal head and the rest humanoid. is it a sort of frankenstien creation, stitched together pieces, but with animals? i think you could push the idea abit more in the rest of the body. maybe even break up the face with pieces of the horse mixed with a person. like a normal persons face with big horse teeth and eyes, idk.
anyway, post more
February 15th, 2010 #5
Another update...
vearitas - Thanks for the comment. I wasn't necessarily focusing on the concept of the drawing. When I'm drawing in my sketchbook, not everything is meant to be a good concept. It's more just for practice in drawing and seeing if I'm capable of drawing what I want from imagination. But thanks for the comment. I never really thought about it that way before.
What I meant was I wasn't really satisfied with the way I painted it.
Anyway, this is another update. The painting of the digital camera is something I did a while ago but I felt like posting it. I worked a little more on the sketch I made from yesterday. I think the main problem I had was that I really didn't know what color I wanted for it in the first place so I ended up really struggling with it. I decided to stop working on it because I want to move. I didn't get to do much drawing because I've been trying to build up a web design portfolio so I really need to do that. Comments and opinions always welcome. See ya.

hey, nice sketchbook dude! I can totally relate about getting depressed with art...it hurts to see people younger than me who are so much further along. But...I guess it's just something you have to work through.
You asked me about rendering though, so this is what I know...the first thing you do is divide your subject into light and shadow, using only two values. Once that looks right, you can move to half tones and dark darks. It's super important to keep the values organized; you're supposed to know which parts of the painting are in light and in shadow at all times. And make sure when you go lighter or darker it's a conscious decision.
I hope that helps anyways...there are definitely threads floating about that explain it much better than I could.
February 18th, 2010 #8
Looks like your best rendering is coming through on that image with the Cartman key chain. You can't help but improve through doing studies of different materials in different lighting conditions.
Jason Manley's color theory had a section about doing studies using only black objects on a white background, and vice versa, some with colored lights. I am sure that is the type of thing they do at the atelier to get perfect color and value rendering.
Keep it up, there is obvious improvement on this one page!
February 19th, 2010 #9
another painting...
septomin, BRANDONJONES -- Thanks for commenting on my sketchbook. Yea I watched Jason Manleys color theory video stream about a couple of weeks ago. It was def helpful and I should probably rewatch it. It was a lot of information to take in at once. I think the reason why the Cartman keychain was rendered well was because it had really strong lighting. My still life's lately have had very subtle light.
Anyway, I didn't have much time to sketch today. I've been in the process of learning Actionscript 3.0 and also working on a website to build up my portfolio. I tend to notice that Dreamweaver has a lot of little glitches so I'm not sure if I'm going to continue using Dreamweaver. I might switch to text mate. I'll see.
I ended up doing a painting of my driveway. It's not finished yet but I was trying to block in the shapes first. I don't tend to paint outdoor scenes as much because they aren't as convenient when I could easily put an object in front of my to paint. I should do more of them. I think the reason why I don't necessarily is because I'm afraid because there is so much stuff sometimes to look at and to paint that I get overwhelmed and I'm afraid the painting will turn out bad so I get discouraged.
February 19th, 2010 #10
Hey man thanks for stopping by my sketchbook, and for the helpful advice!
Interesting stuff you have here, I will keep an eye on yours, too.

More progress...
I ended up working more on this painting. I'm making some progress but I've having some trouble painting certain details on the bushes. When I paint them, they look like globs of paint right now but I think my values look accurate. I don't get what I'm doing wrong. Any advice. More to come soon...

some hand studies and something from imagination...
I have been doing some hand studies lately so I decided to post them. I also am trying to paint this goat like creature for fun. I still don't feel confident rendering form from memory yet and yes I know what you are going to say. Paint still lifes and landscapes, etc, etc. and yes I've been painting a lot more than I ever did but I'm still struggling a bit. I have def learned a lot but I feel like I'm busting my ass and yet I see people who are younger than me and they are an exceedingly higher level. I really wish someone told me that I should have been doing this stuff since High School. Sorry for venting. Comments and suggestions?

Haven't posted yesterday so I have a lot of stuff to upload today. I have about 11 pages from my sketchbook that I scanned in. God posting this stuff takes a while. Does anyone else get annoyed that you have to fill out so many little things before you can finally upload your file. I find it highly time consuming and annoying. Just let me post my shit without asking me categories and sub categories and shit. Anyway enjoy! Unfortunately no painting this time
February 23rd, 2010 #15
Nice start to a sketchbook, although the first few cross-breeds are a disturbing insight! Hehehe..
On a serious note, some good investigation work and it's obvious you are really serious about getting the muscles and body structure 'right'. I think that's crucial, even more so when you're trying to successfully blend creatures together and have them remain believable.
I checked out your site too, some interesting work there. Keep drawing to maintain and improve - and don't get so down on yourself! I think you're in the right place if what you say about developing is really your aim. If nothing else, this forum encourages you to draw regularly, there is no better way to improve.

We're only 27 days in – how are you coming with your new year's resolutions? Hopefully you haven't given up, and if you haven't made any just yet it's certainly not too late. Did you make any resolutions for work?
Glassdoor decided to take note of pending 2014 new year's resolutions in their Q4 Employment Confidence Survey. Take a look at what your fellow American works resolve to do this year in their workplace:
Top 5 Workplace Resolutions for 2014?
- 32% Get a raise
- 22% Look for a new job
- 20% develop leadership skills
- 20% utilize all vacation time available
- 19% engage work related training
More resolutions . . . .
1 in 5 respondents resolve to set clear performance goals in 2014 (21& Men, 13% women)
1 in 10 respondents resolve to head back to school (15% women, 7% of men)
1 in 10 respondents resolve to network with peers more (Total of 13%)
3% of employees resolve to get another employee fired in 2014
L&D Minute
Almost 30% of respondents in Glassdoor's survey had a desire to develop skills & embrace additional work related training. Why? Obtaining, developing, & refining skills are an element of survival in today's world of work. Many put forth effort do this with obtaining education, certifications and possibly engaging new tasks or new areas of work.
Here is an AWE challenge just for you! Challenge yourself this year to learn, develop, or strengthen, 12 or more of the most desirable workplace skills. That's right, a skill a month – here we go!
- Written Communications: expressing yourself clearly, using language with precision; constructing a logical argument; note taking, editing and summarizing; and writing reports; vocabulary, etc . . . .
Recently, European researchers (University of Kent) surveyed graduate recruiters in efforts to rank some of the most desirable workplace skills for today's employers. Nine companies felt that communications should be a #1 skill of focus for soon to be graduates. But don't think this evaluation starts after the interview.
Employers see an initial opportunity to assess these skills in job seekers by reviewing the content in applications, cover letters, & resumes. Remember your written word is an extension of you!
Take a look at these truly invaluable points about communication in the workplace, brought to us by two Inc.com contributors. Save them, print them out, and make these visible to you. They can be a source of support in working towards better written communications within the workplace for all of 2014.
The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said. - Peter Drucker
WBI Spotlight
Save the date: In March we will see the release of the 2014 WBI U.S. Survey. 94 contributors supported this year's survey and the campaign reached its target campaign funding, and more (thanks in part to an anonymously generous donor)! Find out how you too can support the Healthy Workplace Bill.
