There was a young maths geek called Archie
Who added things on his Hitachi
One added to two, two added to three,
Three added to five... Fibonacci!
I'm taking 6 months away from my day job to look after my son, Archie, who is now 9 months old. I thought it might be interesting to share my experiences.
It was a landmark week this week, in a variety of ways. I added a whole integer to my age again and Archie made the three quarter year milestone. Together we also reached the halfway point of my paternity leave, which seems to have gone incredibly quickly. We also made the first steps in handing care for our baby boy over to the professionals as he had his first day at his new nursery.
Sorting out Archie's care after we've both gone back to work has been a subject foremost in our thoughts. We've both got careers that we want to continue to pursue fully, so we knew we would need to use professional childcare services of one sort or another - whether a nanny, a child minder or a nursery school. In the end we decided on the latter as we felt the combination of multiple carers and plenty of socialization with other kids would benefit him the most.
Once we started looking into it, which we started to do when he was around three months old, we quickly realised that nursery places were at a premium - some nurseries had waiting lists of up to 18 months. And it was kind of disconcerting to find that, while we thought we were well organized, some parents had signed up their babies straight after the 12 week scan! As a data scientist, I decided to try to use the statistics of the admissions process to our advantage - while kids are born throughout the year, the intake of nursery is heavily biased towards the month of September as the older kids move into the school system. We decided to put in for our preferred nursery in September, well ahead of time, take what we could and then try to get more days from there.
Fortunately, the strategy paid off and we were offered a single day, starting in September. We accepted that, got onto the internal waiting list and have been able to add additional days as they became available. While this will cost us financially, it has got him into the nursery we wanted. It does put us in the unusual position of having a nursery place available before we really need it but we've decided to treat that as an opportunity to slowly ramp up his attendance and help him settle in (and build up his immune system).
So, on Friday, we packed up Archie's bag and dropped him off for his first day. It was peculiar to have to walk away without him and disquieting to have to start trusting other people with his care. The good news was that he settled in fine, his carers are excellent and we didn't have any major tears (from him or us). Now we just have to worry that he doesn't find nursery more fun than home!

Gardening for a Better Environment
CATSKILL NATIVE NURSERY has been inspiring gardeners since 1999 to create biodiverse and remarkably ornamental gardens using plants that are native to eastern North America.
Location 607 Samsonville Road Kerhonkson NY 12446 845-626-2758 Hours 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM CLOSED TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY IN OCTOBER WE CLOSE AT 5 PM Season The beginning and end of our season each year depends on weather. We usually open in mid-April when the snow has finally melted and close a little after the first hard frost when perennials have died back (usually around Halloween). The procrastinating gardener with an urge to plant a tree or shrub before the ground freezes can usually find us putting the nursery away for winter through Thanksgiving - please call first to make sure someone is at the nursery and we'd be happy to have you take a plant home. After Thanksgiving, we begin to hibernate and it's generally best anyway to wait until spring to plant. We accept cash, checks, credit cards and Paypal on your smartphone. Sorry, we do not ship plants, we do not have a catalog or price list, and we do not sell seeds. The only items we have available by mail are botanical prints, fair trade market baskets and aprons. |
Contact us if you would like to receive information via email about sales, workshops and special events in the Hudson Valley. You can also ask us about inventory and our landscaping services here.

'Red tape cutter' connects seniors to benefits
Senior Connections, located at 1805 N. 16th Street in Superior, is the Douglas County Aging Unit. Senior Connections provides key services such as the Senior Nutrition Program, Specialized Transportation, Information and Assistance, Family Caregiver Support, and the Memory Loss and Support Network.
Senior Connections, located at 1805 N. 16th Street in Superior, is the Douglas County Aging Unit. Senior Connections provides key services such as the Senior Nutrition Program, Specialized Transportation, Information and Assistance, Family Caregiver Support, and the Memory Loss and Support Network. Senior Connections also maintains the Loan Closet where people can borrow durable medical equipment such as crutches, wheelchairs, walkers and more.
Another service of Senior Connections is the Elderly Benefit Specialist Program. As people age, they often need help from government benefit programs to make ends meet. Understanding and accessing these benefits can sometimes be difficult and confusing. The Elderly Benefit Specialist Program is a federal and state mandated advocacy program designed to provide older adults — age 60 and over — with assistance on some legal issues. Assistance can range from information about eligibility and help in applying for benefits to troubleshooting problems that may arise.
Every county and tribal aging unit in the state of Wisconsin is served by at least one elderly benefit specialist. Benefit specialists receive in-depth, on-going training in the areas of benefit and entitlement programs, as well as other legal issues affecting older adults. An attorney provides supervision and support to the benefit specialist and works closely with them to ensure high quality advocacy and representation for all Wisconsin residents.
Pat Nelson took the elderly benefit specialist position at Senior Connections in December of 2009. A 2007 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Superior, Nelson loves being in a helping profession.
"It is truly a privilege to work with Douglas County Senior Citizens," Nelson said. "I have always had a great respect for elders and it is gratifying to be able to give back a little to the generation that has given us so much."
Elderly benefit specialists are known as red tape cutters because they can often get through to the heart of a matter quickly. Elderly benefit specialists in Wisconsin are also State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) counselors. They work quite extensively with Medicare benefits and assist many individuals review their Medicare prescription drug plan or Advantage Plan during the annual enrollment period near the end of each calendar year.
On May 10, Nelson plans to present two informational sessions to people who are new to Medicare.
Benefit specialists also work with programs that can help with Medicare costs. It is estimated that there are a few hundred Medicare beneficiaries in Douglas County who qualify for one of more of these savings programs and don't even know it. This is an important issue for Nelson.
"These programs can help with prescription drug costs and possibly the Medicare Part B premium — it all depends on the applicant's household income and assets," Nelson said. "I love it when I can save beneficiaries some money whether it be with a Medicare Savings Program, Senior Care or educating someone about the preventive benefits that Medicare now offers."
Other program areas include social security, Medicaid, food share, energy assistance, housing and consumer issues.
The elderly benefit specialist is physically located in the Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Douglas County, on the third floor of the Government Center. ADRCs, which are located in most Wisconsin counties, were created to provide a single entry point into the services that are available to elderly and disabled adults. The ADRC serves individuals age 60 and older as well as individuals age 18 and older with disabilities. The ADRC can provide options counseling, benefits counseling and referral assistance. In addition to providing the screening process to assist with future planning and eligibility for programs, the ADRC is also the place to contact if you are aware of an adult who is being abused, exploited, or in need of protective services.
Benefit specialist services are provided free of charge. For more information about the Elderly Benefit Specialist Program call Senior Connections at 715-394-3611 or 800-870-2181. You can also visit www.seniorconnectionswi.org. To schedule an appointment with the Elderly Benefit Specialist call 715-395-7533.

Secure Border Initiative:
DHS Needs to Address Significant Risks in Delivering Key Technology Investment
GAO-08-1148T, Sep 10, 2008
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6256
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Secure Border Initiative (SBI) is a multiyear, multibillion-dollar program to secure the nation's borders through, among other things, new technology, increased staffing, and new fencing and barriers. The technology component of SBI, which is known as SBInet, involves the acquisition, development, integration, and deployment of surveillance systems and command, control, communications, and intelligence technologies. GAO was asked to testify on its draft report, which assesses DHS's efforts to (1) define the scope, timing, and life cycle management approach for planned SBInet capabilities and (2) manage SBInet requirements and testing activities. In preparing the draft report, GAO reviewed key program documentation, including guidance, plans, and requirements and testing documentation; interviewed program officials; analyzed a random probability sample of system requirements; and observed operations of the initial SBInet project.
Important aspects of SBInet remain ambiguous and in a continued state of flux, making it unclear and uncertain what technology capabilities will be delivered and when, where, and how they will be delivered. For example, the scope and timing of planned SBInet deployments and capabilities have continued to be delayed without becoming more specific. Further, the program office does not have an approved integrated master schedule to guide the execution of the program, and the nature and timing of planned activities has continued to change. This schedule-related risk is exacerbated by the continuous change in, and the absence of a clear definition of, the approach that is being used to define, develop, acquire, test, and deploy SBInet. SBInet requirements have not been effectively defined and managed. While the program office recently issued guidance that is consistent with recognized leading practices, this guidance was not finalized until February 2008, and thus was not used in performing a number of important requirements-related activities. In the absence of this guidance, the program's efforts have been mixed. For example, while the program has taken steps to include users in developing high-level requirements, several requirements definition and management limitations exist. These include a lack of proper alignment (i.e., traceability) among the different levels of requirements, as evidenced by GAO's analysis of a random probability sample of requirements, which revealed large percentages that were not traceable backward to higher level requirements, or forward to more detailed system design specifications and verification methods. SBInet testing has also not been effectively managed. While a test management strategy was drafted in May 2008, it has not been finalized and approved, and it does not contain, among other things, a high-level master schedule of SBInet test activities, metrics for measuring testing progress, and a clear definition of testing roles and responsibilities. Further, the program office has not tested the individual system components to be deployed to the initial deployment locations, even though the contractor initiated testing of these components with other system components and subsystems in June 2008. In light of these circumstances, our soon to be issued report contains eight recommendations to the department aimed at reassessing its approach to and plans for the program, including its associated exposure to cost, schedule and performance risks, and disclosing these risks and alternative courses of action to DHS and congressional decision makers. The recommendations also provide for correcting the weaknesses surrounding the program's unclear and constantly changing commitments and its life cycle management approach and processes, as well as implementing key requirements development and management and testing practices.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site, and I was just browsing through and noticed these introduction posts so I though I'd put on on here as well. I'm from Arkansas, not far from Memphis or Little Rock, but still in the hills; so I'm a Southerner. One of my great grandfathers was Jacob King, in a North Carolina regiment that fought in General Lee's army of Northern Virginia. He survived the war, surrendered with Lee at Appomattox, then headed west to Arkansas and became a baptist minister. Another grandfather served in the 15th Arkansas and fought at Shiloh, then was killed later in the war. With that said, I have strong ties to the Confederacy. I have made a few posts so far, and I'm really hitting it off with the other members.(Not really) Haha, I spend a lot of time defending General Lee and Forrest; it's probably very irritating to the Yankees on this website, so I apologize for offending anyone. But I really love this site, and these people know a LOT about the Civil War. It's good to finally get to talk about battles and leaders and history and not be boring the other person out of their mind. Thanks, Casey |

Two Rides For The New Year: Up The Lemmon and The Brass Monkey
Monday, December 31st, 2012
One of Tucson's oldest motorcycling traditions takes place the first day of the year: It's "Up The Lemmon", when adventurous riders of all makes and models ride up to Windy Point on Mount Lemmon. Depending on road conditions a few hardy souls go all the way to the top.
This is a good ride for the three-wheeling fraternity, since there is always the chance of slippery ice snakes in the road. Data Port, and possibly Mrs. DP, will take the sidecar outfit.
Meet at the McDonald's on the corner of Tanque Verde and Catalina Highway at 9am. Come early for coffee at McDonald's.
Looking ahead just a bit, this year is the 40th Anniversary Gathering of The Brass Monkey Sidecar Rally. Sidecarists are a rare breed among the three-wheel fraternity in part because, apart from the Russian Ural sidecars, they have to rig their outfits themselves.
The Brass Monkey welcomes all riders, both solo bikes and three wheelers. If you're a solo rider this is your chance to check out the rarest member of the motorcycle fraternity, the sidecar. Here are dates and location:
Dates: February 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th
Where: Crazy Horse Campground, Lake Havasu City
Call Campground for reservations (928) 885-4033
You don't have to camp. Many riders elect to motel it, go to the campground and hang out.

Researchers asked eight male students to partake in either 30 minutes of endurance exercise or two-minutes of sprint intervals, three times a week for six weeks. Researchers measured their oxygen consumption (VO2) during and after 24 hours of exercise. Their VO2 was 150 percent higher during endurance exercise than sprinting intervals, yet after 24 hours the overall amount of oxygen consumed between athletes was nearly identical.
The study suggests that when it comes to exercise and metabolism, intensity may be just as important as how long we'rehitting the roads. For those who don't have 30 minutes to spare, two minutes of (now here's the key!) intense sprinting will boost metabolism over the next day just as much as a longer aerobic jaunt.
On the flip side, the results are based on a super small sample and only included male subjects. The abstract also leaves us wondering whatthe two aerobic exercises were, exactly, and what shape the men were in to start with. Caveats aside, there is enough science to say that aerobic exercise will help people get healthy and happy, so make sure to squeeze in some heart-pumping cardio, no matter how many minutes long.

NP Rank:
Canadian Government Wants to Push Through Mass-Surveillance Legislation
The Canadian Government is once again trying to give itself expanded "Lawful Access" powers, through which police and "intelligence agencies" would be able to collect telecommunications data on Canadian citizens at will and without the need for pesky warrants or probable cause.
ISPs and telecoms would have to build spying tools into their networks, the costs of which would be passed on to us. These tools would then be handed over to police departments and intelligence agencies for use without oversight or audit. What could possibly go wrong?
Proponents of the bill repeat the mantra of "security", even as they lobby for a series of backdoors into ISP infrastructure that would have any hacker or identity thief licking his chops.
Without presenting a single shred of evidence that Canadian police need any more power than they already have (arguable too much as it is, if Toronto's disastrous G20 summit is any indication), you are being asked to believe that handing law enforcement agencies a blank cheque to snoop through your life is actually for your own good.
This is, of course, nonsense. Passing legislation whose only benefit is police convenience comes nowhere close to justifying the dismantling of Canadians' privacy rights.
Should the government have the right to spy on you? No.
I attended the (Un)Lawful Access symposium at the W2 space in Vancouver last night, and got a sneak peek at the BC Civil Liberties Association's analysis of the proposed "Lawful Access" plan. Boy, was it interesting. The 78-page analysis is sitting here in my desk, and it was like reading something out of Brazil.
The panel consisted of:
For me, the highlights were Micheal Vonn's engaging breakdown of Lawful Access' social implications, and Christopher Parsons' chilling rundown of the technical aspects of a state-mandated, corporate-implemented surveillance state.
The tortured logic behind "Lawful Access" left me wondering if its proponents were straight-up stupid, or if they had some other motive for compromising civil liberties across Canada, civil liberties that make up the bedrock of a democratic society. I haven't made up my mind yet. Canada's own Public Safety Minister, though, seems determined to make me go with Option A...
The Internet is Not a Phone Book
Canadian Public Safety Minister Vic Toews says, don't worry. It's just like letting the cops look at a phone book.
So, Vic, you think phone book not only shows my phone number, but also who I'm calling, when I'm calling them, when I'm home, where I'm going, who I'm emailing, and what I'm buying? That's quite a phone book you got there, big guy.
So, one of two things is true:
I'm going with the second one, to be perfectly honest.
U of T associate law professor Lisa Austin is far more eloquent than I:
What did I do online this week? I corresponded with colleagues, students, professional contacts, family and friends and checked out some online discussion forums. I did research for work and for personal projects, reading many Web pages, downloading articles and purchasing books. I shopped and downloaded music and movies. Other aspects of my life are stored online, including my calendar, my task list and many of my work files. I access this from work, from home, from my smartphone and from my tablet.
What did I do on the phone? I talked to my mom and some telemarketers.
My main problems with the "Lawful Access" proposals are as follows:
As Michael Geist reminds us, once we go down the road of total surveillance, we can never really go back.
You can read the BCCLA analysis yourself:
There have been no public hearings on the "Lawful Access" proposals, and it's pretty clear why: they'd last about six seconds in a Charter challenge. Still, the Conservative government is hoping to do what the US government did: use the specters of cybercrime and terrorism to bully the courts into torpedoing the Constitution.
Canadian voters, you simply cannot allow this. The video below, "(Un)Lawful Access" discusses some of the issues above in greater detail. Visit StopSpying.ca for more resources.

Developing resources for social enterprise
Practice No. 930
Last modified: 25/03/2011 08:55:56
Institution: University of the West of England
Recently there has been growing interest in an alternate business model, social enterprise. This is a different way of doing business that trades for a social purpose whereby the social or environmental aims of the business are of equal importance to its commercial activities. Consequently the skills required for running a successful social enterprise combine those typical of enterprise activities generally with a strong motivation and passion for social improvement. We have found that this aspect is useful in engaging researchers because at the heart of social enterprise is a strong commitment to achieving a better society, a motivation that resonates with that which typically drives the research agenda and researchers themselves. This collaborative project with Vitae has been successful in developing written and associated video materials to explore enterprise skills with early career researchers. There are plans to disseminate the resources via Vitae as part of the ongoing move to produce development resources that are freely available to HEIs as part of the research skills development agenda, this is likely to be in January 2011. -
Postgraduate Enterprise Summer School
Practice No. 975
Last modified: 21/10/2010 11:57:56
Institution: University of Birmingham
The Postgraduate Enterprise Summer School, now in its sixth year, is a week long course that has been designed to teach skills in enterprise and entrepreneurship to postgraduate students at the University of Birmingham. Topics covered include innovation, marketing, business planning, financing, commercialisation and presentation skills. By the end of the course participants will: develop a business idea from the concept stage to a fully fledged business proposition; know the steps required to set up their own business; be aware of the requirements to commercialise research in an academic environment; be able to work effectively in a team environment; and identify which role they are best suited to in a business team. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation team of the Careers and Employability Centre plans, runs and facilitates the week with some teaching input. The majority of training is delivered by other internal staff, external trainers and entrepreneurs. The University's Business School hosts the event providing training rooms and IT suites. Being intensive, all lunches and refreshment breaks need to be catered and one evening dinner is provided, as an opportunity to network with successful entrepreneurs from the region. In recent years, use of software (SimVenture) and the internet, brainstorming tools (Ketso) and profiling tools (e.g. Belbin, eFACETS) have significantly enriched the programme. -
The Talent Pool
Practice No. 974
Last modified: 19/11/2009 14:03:29
Institution: University of Birmingham
The Talent Pool provides a unique opportunity for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers at all stages of their studies to engage with external organisations and develop into the next generation of academics, business consultants and entrepreneurs. The Talent Pool offers enterprise training that creates a network of students with various skills and ambitions who are able to make time for work experience, placements, internships, consultancy contracts or the chance to set up their own business, by understanding the important skills and strategies behind business ventures. The Talent Pool can be compared with other programmes that have been used at the University in previous years, such as Medici and SPEED.

hey can i join im studying the same stuff. is there a skype group for this? or do we just post here?
hey can i join im studying the same stuff. is there a skype group for this? or do we just post here?
Care, the more the merrier! Just add those of us who've already provided our skype IDs and mention you're from the newbie thread on concept art and you'll get added to the group there.
I'm laurie.ashton.farook on skype.
And I'd like to add that I'm impressed that there's no dilly dallying around, it's straight to business without wasting time. So so so happy.
My sketchbook: Rank Amateur Attempts *cough* Art
Critique at will. And have a great day!
Just add 'harkaibijar' to your skype contacts and I'll add you to the group. Once in the group you can just add everyone there!
And Hiddles, get on Skype - it's your study group, and we've got 4 people in this skype group already!
I'd like to join because I think I need some direction in my studying. Not sure how long I'll stick around once school starts, but we'll see what happens.
Check out my sketchbook! Socially acceptable opportunity to yell at a teenage girl!
Hey! I'll like to join in, I was in a study group some months ago where I practiced some of values and such. But I forgot the name, and also I want to work on anatomy, so if you let me I'll join in!
You chat by skype?
Also, one nice book I'm now reading and try to practice is Figure Drawing - Design and invention by Michael Hampton
And I think that Bridgeman's book are pretty awesome, I like more the bridgeman style than the loomis way.
And also a great page to some basics is www.ctrlpaint.com
Of course you can join! Just add 'Harkaibijar' and I'll add you to the group conversation where you can add everyone else. Nice to have you on board!
I probably should get skype as well now. Seeing as how most of the group is hopping on there. Isn't there a charge now though for conference calls?
Can I still participate if I don't join the skype group?
Check out my sketchbook! Socially acceptable opportunity to yell at a teenage girl!
Skype or no Skype, just join us! All are welcome!
It's Eid today and family is in town for the next week, so I may be a little late doing the assignments and I may not check in that frequently, but never fear, I'm still here and will check in and get the assignments done when I can.
My sketchbook: Rank Amateur Attempts *cough* Art
Critique at will. And have a great day!
nice on the brigeman link!
@M-Min, only charges if you get like 100 something people in the call.. it's a pretty stupid number, whatever it is. I've had uncharged calls in the 15-20 people range though. With so many people doing video tutorials and others listening to music, it's more for the instant text responses and sharing of what we're doing than it is about making skype calls at the moment.
We're currently up to 7 people in this skype group! (including myself). Still missing the leader of the study group however *cough* Hiddles *cough*.
Hey guys, I joined CA ages ago with great intentions but I haven't posted as often as I should have.
I think a study group is a great idea, just wondering of I can join?
I'm reading through that one as well! Liking it so far. Another book I found helpful is See, Feel, Trace, Draw It by Sheldon Borenstein.
@OldManPsylus thanks for the info. their website's not very clear on what's free and what's not. i've never used skype before so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
skype name's : cynnex
Hello little ones!
If there's any teens among you (13-19 years old), we'd love to have you pop in on the Teen Challenge!
For those of you that get a bit intimidated with this whole "challenge" thing, it's more about having fun and actually doing some art, than winning. You don't even have to submit your piece for the poll if you feel it's not good enough! The important thing is drawing a lot and getting solid feedback.
As I expect to start seeing this week's assignments trickle in, I guess I'll start things off!
Before you ask, shading and/or coloring was not in the assignment.
Idea: We might want to, when critiquing assignments, go to the author's SB to comment. That way this forum doesn't get completely flooded when turn-in day rolls around. Just make sure that when you turn in work here, that you also update your SB with the assignment
Last edited by OldManPsylus; August 21st, 2012 at 12:43 AM. Reason: clarification
@ All new members ! Welcome ! Look forward to your art
@Egg0 Thanks for the link and I'll be sure to add that book recommendation to the list ! ;P
@OldManPsylus Sorry >//< I don't have skype but I will try to have an account set up by the end of the week and those studies are looking great and good idea !! It would be a good idea to maybe follow a link to the sketchbook page that the post assignment is on.
I'm working on mine hopefully have something to show for tomorrow ;D

My Sketchbook:
I am a long time member of the forums, but have so far been lurking, in awe, wishing I was half as good as some of the people on here.
I used to have such passion for drawing and painting when I was younger, when I was blissfully ignorant about how poor my drawings were. I really want that desire back to create art, and I would love to be a part of the study group.
I hope it's not too late to join?
What format will you all be using? Will you be sketching digitally or on paper? Does it matter?
Have you been using the skype group? Would it be worth getting a log-on for it?
i guess i kinda cheated on this one a little bit but eeehhhh
1.Too late to join the study group? Never! Though depending on your schedule it might be a little tough to complete the first assignment. That's alright though, no harm done if you don't get that in on time.
2.The world of concept art is very quickly becoming an almost purely digital medium. That said, this is just a study group, you can use whatever medium you like! (You will need some way of sharing your progress)
3. We currently have 9 people in our study group's skype. I have personally found it extremely useful for getting instant feedback and getting to know my fellow artists. I would say, like these forums, it is an invaluable tool to have at our disposal - especially seeing as it's completely free.
Hope to see you stick with us, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun . Don't forget to add 'harkaibijar' when you do get skype so I can add you to the group!
Of course your not too late This study group is open to everyone and I understand where your coming from, the only way to improve is to keep drawing, and many are discouraged by others but you should be encouraged to improve ^^ Many people give up because they think they will never be at a level as the ones they admire, but those you admire are just the ones who never gave up
Both formats are acceptable and we do have a skype group going not all members are required to join, I'm not on there yet but I will be hopefully getting an account soon.
Welcome and hope this study group will get you motivated to start drawing again ^_____^

My Sketchbook:
Thanks for having me, and for adding me to the Skype group!
Some really nice starts there, well done!
I created a sketchbook for my contributions http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=247862
I need to find out how to scan properly, the details are totally lost.
Finished mine! Might do another arm or two for tomorrow. I botched one of the ones I had originally planned to share. Link to my sketchbook in my signature.
Check out my sketchbook! Socially acceptable opportunity to yell at a teenage girl!
Arms out of an anatomy book i have, legs from the CGcookie tutorial cause the book didn't have a good turnaround for them.
Yea, the CGcookie ones are more about being able get the right proportions and being able to shade the right areas. They're for the most part right on, but they do have a muscle or two out of place if you're really interested in the raw anatomy of it.
I'm not sure how much a concept artist would ever need to know the absolute exact location/name of every muscle in the body. Just the ones that dictate how we move, and how our skin receives lighting. To that effect, I think the CGcookie tutorials are great. They simply down a little bit of the muscle and tendon structures so that they're easier to remember, but keeps your proportions correct.
Leg bone structure looks good, its important tho to realise how far the bone on the left of the knee sticks out. its basically visible as the edge of our leg. The calf muscle looks a little less ovally on the back view of the leg. also the tendond goes down the middle rite down to the foot.
Im not sure about this but i swear when the arm is in side view the bones cross. I will check it out and get bak to you. muscles look good.i would say the tricep long bit looks a bit thin.
no need ot name everything unless it helps ya. i would watch the proportions the side leg looks a little thin compared to the other legs.great positioning tho.
On the arms i think the flexors should be bigger or more round.
nice bone structure. great shading. hard to see whats going on tho
Very nice simple but clear. proportions looks great, legs missing the front muscles on the shin.
Heres mine sorry its very bad... no time this week. 1 thing i did learn.
Biceps = two muscles
triceps = three muscles.
Who would have guessed.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if I have time to upload these to my sketchbook so I'll prob do that tomorrow if that's alright.
Also my sketchbook and my scanner aren't the best of friends so sorry if the scans are a bit wonky.
I started drawing the bones of the leg first so they're a bit stiff (no pun intended)
Then onto the muscles.
I couldn't find reference for a side view of the arm.
And finally the muscles of the arm.
I have to say this was really fun, looking forward to the nest assignment!!!
Also is it alright if we critique things relevant to the study group in this thread? That way we can keep all the assignments and crits in one place so it's easy to look over later on and people looking at this thread but not participating can observe and learn too.
I'm easy with anything though Just a thought.
Yeah that's a good idea, I fine with that
Looking great I had fun with this, I did some studies from Bridgman, I did a couple pages so I uploaded it to my sketchbook (it's not online yet though as it needs to be approved to by a mod @___@ ) Hopefully it won't be too long. Going to try and do one more study but might have to upload tomorrow =___=
'Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them...'
~Tom Hiddleston~
My Sketchbook:
Looking great! I like that you keep your proportions consistent. Thats definitely something that's difficult to achieve (Consistency is not my strong point!)
The only thing I can really crit is that the bones of the leg seem just a little bit thin but other than that, great job!
Good work! Very comprehensive! I would watch out for measurements and proportions though.
Sometimes our brains can trick us into thinking that the distance between points is greater or shorter than it actually is.
The best way to overcome this, I think, is to measure things relative to each other. As in, measure the tibia in relation to the femur, etc.
The proportion of things will work out over time if you measure things against each other.
Hope that makes sense
Nice use of colour! I really like the shading on the bones. Just be sure to watch the balance of the legs.
They seem to be leaning a little to the right in the middle and right drawings.
Looks good! The only crit I have would be to maybe make your lines more confident but that's a technical issue that will sort itself out with time and practice
Another nice use of colour to differentiate the muscles!
At first I thought the legs were a bit short but I think thats because I was measuring them against the arms or something. When I covered the arms and looked just at the legs it seemed fine. Well done!
Also if anyone is interested I found a little online game that helps you learn the bones of the skeleton. You can check it out here.
They have a game based on the muscular system too.

Ever had bullets whizzing through your personal space?
I bolted out of a Tulsa movie theatre in July of '91 surrounded by the sound of guns a blazing -- it was all "very loud & very close." I had gone to see the Tulsa premier of Boys in the Hood -- a film about youth culture, gangs and the life trajectories of black and Hispanic kids in south central L.A. I went to a south side Tulsa theatre to watch the film. The movie is a surprising warm, almost poetic meditation. Directed by then baby-genius John Singleton, the film was getting good reviews for its grim, intimate look at LA's badlands. But "Boys" showings had sparked fights and a little bit of light gun play in some of the East and West Coast venues where it had been running days before.
While in the movie house, my Tulsa "Boys" showing was unremarkable. It was the immediate post movie thing -- a short ride in hell -- that was unforgettable. My buddy and I walked out to the theatre parking lot and heard gunfire, dozens of people running in every direction and hysterical screaming that I have not witnessed since. My own reaction: a conflation of bemusement and irritation topped off with a little bit of fear.
I'd never been in a setting where gunshots rang out at random. And weirdly, it wasn't possible to see the shooters, so you didn't know where they were -- you didn't know how close you might be to the fools doing the firing. My "event" doesn't remotely compare to the nightmare that the Batman audience experienced in Aurora -- but, my friends, believe me, you wouldn't have wanted to experience it.
I don't think anyone was injured -- but I never saw, read or heard anything about what happened that day in Tulsa in the summer of '91. I wasn't a media guy in those days -- was running a struggling consulting biz. And the woman of my life was in a death bed at St. Francis. So I never wrote it up or reported it. Maybe someone reading these words did?
Tulsa's Daily Show
Unfortunately, several thousand people in Tulsa experience the optics and audio miasma of gun play several times a month. There are spots west, east, and in north T-Town and along the 61st-71st & south Peoria corridor where the grinding machinery of drug cult logistics and shadowy gang warfare are always in play.
And, as attentive UTW readers surely know, this monstrous game produces a killing or two during most weeks in Tulsa. None of this has the crystalline theatrics, YouTube kinetics or panoramic news coverage of Virginia Tech, Arizona, Columbine, Aurora or a typical day in Detroit, but this "one or two" deathly duet is just as real, just as disturbing.
And folks, it's not just the dead, their loved ones and the physically injured who take the hit. The renowned social/child psychologist and writer Robert Coles has documented the outsized health and mental damage that children who live in trauma "precincts" take in books like the five-volume Children of Crisis series and his three-volume The Inner Lives of Children.
My Man Mr. Zorg and The Coming of the
Super Gun
There's a gun like no other in the great 1997 science-fiction/fantasy film The Fifth Element. Directed by the French auteur Luc Besson, the film is a visually striking, but campy adventure set in the 24th century and a vehicle for Bruce Willis and the alluring Milla Jovovich.
The often very evil Gary Oldman plays Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg: a fulsom multi-planetary crook/ruthless pirate. Zorg demonstrates the new weapon during a "work" session with his henchmen, who are trying to recover an exotic object -- the Fifth Element, which is simultaneously wanted by Oldman's evil customer and Willis/company. The gizmo is needed to save planet Earth from certain destruction. Oldman's super gun fires hundreds of smart bullets every minute -- bullets that actively track victims.
You might think Oldman's shooter is just a fantasy. Don't. Imagine a gun with an extremely powerful "scene" processor and bullets that are essentially tiny, highly agile drones guided by infrared sensors and AI software -- sensors that can guide each and every bullet to a live target -- that is, to anything that has a permissible temperature and a pulse. I'll bet anyone that technology of this kind is hanging out, in prototype form, in a DARPA lab or elsewhere.
When this stuff tops past the prototype stage, should non-military folks -- especially run-of-the-mill crazy people -- be able to order one up from Amazon?
Wouldn't it be a damn awful day indeed if super guns became widely available to whacked-out people like Jared Loughner, John Muhammad, Seung-Hui Cho, Anders Behring, Timothy McVeigh or Mr. Holmes, the suspected perpetrator of the Aurora/Batman killings?
After Aurora, What To Do
I know we're all supposed to just "buck up," understand that nothing can or will be done, and creep back to our lives. I haven't wanted to do that these last few days, and I'm imagining I'm not alone.
Say this with me: Freedom to own a gun doesn't mean you can also have a tactical nuclear device, a scud missile, an assault weapon or biological toxins;
Tell the damn NRA and their apologists that gun policy and gun violence is too damn important to be the sole province of their membership and fellow travelers;
Join in calling for a society-wide debate on ending our monstrously dysfunctional war on drugs with its peerless connection to gun violence and horror;
Send word to the President and to Olympic wiz Mitt Romney that curtailing ownership of monster guns and mitigating gun violence are back on the table;
Petition Congress to look at a new ban on assault weapons, high capacity ammunition drums and accessory devices -- and prohibit, in advance, consumer access to super guns, weaponized drones, "do your own" bio weapons and other Frankenstein fright-ware;
Call for a full embrace of community policing in Tulsa -- a return to neighborhood beats, slow-go cops, bike patrol and wider TPD use of on-the-ground tools like the two-wheeler Segways -- already in restricted use in T-Town;
Push for a fevered look at the intense neighborhood engagement and confidence-building approaches championed by people like former Tulsa Police Chief Drew Diamond and writer/policing scholar David Kennedy in his highly imaginative 2011 book Don't Shoot: A Journey To End Violence in Inner City America.

B- A+F Student Body: My school is filled with mainly males, and they're are only a few females. Most of the student body at my school is also part of the working class so they go to school then rush off to work.
Online Courses: I like the fact that my school doesn't have online courses. If they did it would make it hard for students who are just entering the field to understand what is going on and you lose the hands on aspect. You also wouldn't know if you were doing the project correctly or not.

We have stayed there several times and with it's proximity to the "Centro" it's a great value. The rooms and bedding are basic but always clean and the AC blows hard and cold! A small dipping pool...

The New Talent Grand PIX & The Audience Award
At PIX's award brunch Friday the New Talent Grand PIX Award was given to the Swiss director Ramon Zürcher. With his German film 'The Strange Little Cat' Zürcher was chosen as the most promising new talent in the competition, among ten other debutating directors.
Thursday night the votes from the audience competition were counted and it was the Belgian drama 'The Broken Circle Breakdown' by Felix Van Groeningen that stole the audience's favor.
This year's Jury Members are: Agnès Wildenstein, Kleber Mendonça Filho and Ragnar Bragason.
10 Debut directors compete for New Talent Grand PIX
CPH PIX has a soft spot for new talents. The talent competition programme New Talent Grand PIX is therefore reserved for new directors. The award is worth 15,000 Euros and is intended to help the director make his next film. The award is presented by an international jury, which rewards a clear vision and personal signature.
In line with tradition, the 10 films in New Talent Grand PIX come from far and wide, both in terms of geography, style and genre.

Bayrider skiffs are what the North Carolina natives call the Maserati of all skiffs. As this fact catches on with boaters in other parts of the country, they will too. The secret to this is the unique hull design. The hull incorporates performance- designed skeggs that give it unparallel stability in cornering. Not only do we have some of the widest gunwales on the market, but now fiberglass inner-liners come standard in all of our models. These not only look good, but add vertical strength integration and make cleanup an absolute breeze. |

location of this hotel is fab the quality of service is excellent too. The communal and garden areas are exceptionaland well maintained. It is recomended... to take half board, as there is nothing in the immediate vacinity but the hotel food is wonderful and has many varieties to suit all tastes. However the rooms, all be it large are not that comfortable and there is a kitchen area which is of no use and has no self catering facilities, this area could be put to better use, however the overall experience was good and i would consider returning to this hotel. von einem Hotels.com-Gast am 21.04.2011

If you can't wake up with the help of an alarm, you're probably sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation is why most of us need the alarm in the first place. It means we're not ready to wake up when society demands it because we haven't gone to sleep early enough the night before. Sound a bit to obvious to be considered as knowledge?
Try this prescription instead of the latest sleeping pills:
Maintain a firm nighttime schedule that allows at least 7.5 hours in bed. Make your sleep space pleasant and comfortable, and keep your bedroom as dark and cool as possibly for maximum comfort and sleep quality. Exercising at least 20 minutes on most days should also help fatigue your muscles, further enhancing the quality of your sleep. It would be wise to avoid exercise within 4 hours of bedtime; the surge in hormones could throw off your sleep cycle. And on weeknights, at least, try to minimize your alcohol and caffeine intakes, because both can impair the restfulness of your sleep.

Reviews by atsprings:atspringsNorth Carolina 3.63/5 rDev -2.9% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 750mL corked and caged bottle into a Hopus tulip pours a crisp orange that is topped by a nice frothy off white head that slowly diminishes to a ring and leaves decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is a nice kick of grassy citrus hops. The taste is a large amount of bitter citrus hops blowing away almost all traces of malt flavor. The beer is a bit on the heavy side, but the smooth carbonation eases things a bit. This is certainly one for the hophead in me, but I do prefer more balance than this one offers. Serving type: bottle 01-03-2011 00:31:43 | More by atsprings More User Reviews:ricke49Oregon 3.28/5 rDev -12.3% look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5 This beer provided an outstanding foamy, pillow-like head. The smell was oily hops and the taste and mouth feel was very oily as well. Could have used a bit of balance in my estimation. A decent DIPA, but a little over the top. Maybe a bit of time to let the hops cool it as little would be a good solution. Serving type: bottle 11-19-2013 01:43:51 | More by ricke49 Ryan011235Ohio 3.18/5 rDev -15% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25 Poured into a Lost Abbey glass on 3/28/13 Bottled on: 02/27/13 A) Clear. Surprising clear even. Dulled and faded tobacco; dark for a DIPA. Two finger head of loose foam drops to 1/4th inch and leaves delicate lace meanderings. Slow rising bubbles. Thicker lace farther down. S) Spritzy, herbal hop aroma; it has a botanical gin quality to it. Sweet candy citrus fruit, quarts of hop oils, pine, tea leaves, sugary grapefruit, sweet cracker and hints of sugar cookies. Perfume-like. T) Tastes every bit as oily as it smells; perhaps even more so. Dank oils and pine resin. The herbal components throw me though - it's a cross between candy fruits, perfume and aerosol spray. Bombastic amount of rolling, grainy malt. I don't think it is pilsner malt, but it does have a more neutral, clean aspect that I associate with pilsner malts in an IPA. The finish scrapes against bitterness which leaves me with the same feeling of brushing up against poison ivy after a stroll in the woods (editor's note: I have no idea what was going through my mind when I wrote that). M) Full, slick body and feel. Carbonation is moderate when sparring with the size of the beer. Not terribly boozy. D) It's like hiking on a different trail - some of the same pretty stuff you're used to seeing but with some new sights and smells (editor's note: This is why I don't review anymore; that description is ridiculous).

It might be a bit simple, but it's still delicious. A dark golden brown color with a strong pine scent. Taste is bitter and sweet. Though I know a lot of hop heads don't like sweetness in their DIPAs, this is something I love. This beer reminds me a bit of Southern Tier Unearthly, which comes in for a lot of criticism as cloyingly sweet. This isn't quite as good as Unearthly, but if you like your DIPAs to be a bit like barleywines, this is a nice option. Serving type: bottle 11-02-2013 00:29:33 | More by Qbdoo |

Tallest skyscraper wins preliminary City Council vote

Tallest skyscraper wins preliminary City Council vote
Inquirer staff writer Jeff Shields writes:
A zoning change that would allow the tallest building in Philadelphia to rise next door to the Comcast Tower gained unanimous approval at a City Council committee this morning.
The Council's Committee on Rules approved a zoning change that would allow the American Commerce Center, a 1,500 foot tower above office space, a hotel and retail, to rise at the block bordered by Arch, Cuthbert, 18th and 19th streets.
Over strong opposition by residents of the neighborhing Kennedy House, who said the zoning allows for a much more intense development than was intended for the area, the committee voted 9-0 to recommend the change to full Council, which could give final approval Dec. 11.
City Councilman Darrell Clarke said the project would have to submit a plan of development to the Planning Commission and return to Council for final approval
