Geez continue, looking through this sketchbook is such a pleasure.
Those latest studies are great, sorry, nothing constructive from
my side at the moment. Just encouragement.
THanks everybody! And your encouragement's always appreciated StarEater.
Maisie: yep wtf is what they are ;D. I actually do more traditional drawings right now than digital. I got this huge stack of filled sketchbooks and like 400s pages of print paper(well, I bought a thousand so that's 500 something more to fill up) just eating away my space. Oh well, I think I'll photograph some later when my comp got fixed. Still drawing on the tablet is impossible though, can't get any good lines at all. Hmmm.. anyway, I'll post a photo of the poop stacks later.
So my most beloved laptop just completely crashed and refused to start when I was having a video chat with Ben, one of my former comrades-in-arms at school. And my mom's computer froze and BlueScreenOfDeathed as well when I was trying to resume the conversation. So yeah, the very painful effect of being struck by the unique voice and likeness of the Techno-Antichrist.
(I think it has more to do with the video cam driver being buggy THB)
And now, I have absolutely no way to actually fixing it 'cept for sending for hard drive repairs, and I might lose the 700 GBs of stuff and the hundreds of hours and dollars I put into collecting them. And the music, the tutorials my friends gave me, all the stuff I payed for, all the movies, the 200 gigs of reference pictures, all the photos of my cherished memories, and most importantly, all my old art 'n stuff....
And I'm going on a trip to Shanghai tomorrow which I have no way of canceling. And that goes all my plans for digital painting along the way. And I'll have to be forced to be torn from my most vital body part(I mean, my laptop) for 2 bloody fucking painful and hellish weeks.
Well, and I just couldn't be more upset right now.
Dont worry too much about losing stuff on the hard disc,mine break once a year with no back up s and they always manage to pull everything off, total cost about £100 including a new disc and a complte replica of your old OS and documents. So dont sweat that. They will of course look through all your porn, but theyre compute nerds, the stuff on their hard discs would curl your hair, so dont sweat that either.
Also, youd be amazed if it is gone how quickly you mourn the loss, cut it off and move on with new better work.
Your comment made me laugh a lot. You know Chuck Norris has never actually seen an explosion? Its true, hes always walking away like a boss.

Great paints! All I can say is keep up the good work
But don't be too discouraged by your computer problems, it really sucks when something like that happens but sometimes it might be a good thing to cut the navel cord between you and your laptop and enjoy your holiday. After a break you'll probably have tons of energy for a fresh start

@VK, hahaha, they can look at all the porn if they want, nothing too strange there. Yep, moving on is the way to go.
And yes, Chuck Norris is a cool guy, and cool guys don't look at mothafucking explosions.
@Lav, thank you very much. And well, I didn't enjoy the vacation but I did get tons of energy from it. Onward to, well, more drawings.
@NakedZergling, thank you.
Well, I still haven't fixed my harddrive yet, but at least I'm back from the trip.
The whole trip is probably the most miserable 10 days I've ever spent in my life. We drove around half of the country and, there's just nothing worth seeing, and all the major tourist spots are hideous as hell. Well, at least I'm not paying for the seven thousand dollars it cost.
So yeah, with how horrible everything was, I made lots of drawings. Quite a lot of these were done while driving around terrible mountain roads, so the lines got really crappy sometimes. But oh well, at least I'm satisfied with the amount. And yeah, got a hell lot better at drawing people with clothing, cars, animals and buildings.
So happy I brought along my Ken Hultgren animal book, and the Michael Hampton figure drawing book. Copying from them was quite fun.

Okey, rest of the drawings from the 10-day trip
whoa. lots of cool stuff here, and I'm in the same boat as you, I suppose - had to drop school because of money. keep up the good work, sir.
Thanks MrFrenik. Yeah, education is just fucking retardedly expensive ;__;
Suck the brains out and finish off the body. Hmmmmmmm.....Humans are yummy indeed!
For the DailySketchGroup Eater of Faces
since i always see this amazing little dragon icon up one the page i just had to post in here very nice sb. i love your traditional sketches but your digital works are super amazing. i think i can learn one or two things from watching them.
Awesome studies man! Great grasp of value and colors.
I'd love to see more original work!
Those digital studies are great and I must say very helpful for me to figure out a better way to do some stuff in my experiments hah. Keep it up!
Everything is going to kill everybody.
Hey thanks guys for the comments.
@lux: Thank you very much! Now that's quite flattering. I have so much to learn from the artists here myself.
@Patonki: Yay love you too! Moar original works are coming.
@Julius: hahhaa, danke xD
So just a WIP. Sporeman. You can see the sketch a few posts back.
Definitely gonna finish this.
Doing mostly traditional work. Gonna do a drawing update soon.
But here are some digis
Nice colours on your digitals dude, I dig those ones specially, and the doodles in the car were quite cool too ( especially the ones in wich you draw what you see from the car). If there's any advice from me , would be to export the very nice gestural stuff you do in the little sketches to the bigger ones, cause there's a bit of lack of confidence in the bigger drawings, if you try to be gestural there too, and combine that with hat you already know things are gonna be sweet for real. I'd also put more contrast into most the stuff, apart from that everything looks pretty decent man. Quite entertaining to travel throught your SB, cheers! ;D
daaaammmnnnn those flesh tones on #75 are to kill for!
Thanks a lot Suira. That's a very good point. I'll try exploring that in the next series. I use the frontal formal pose way too much.
And Patonki, thanks for popping by, you rock.
Some studies. 10 minutes each.
For CHOW
Wow man, love the sketchbook! It's been a great use of 20 minutes or so, and I'm really happy I looked at it. You draw so much man! I wish I could draw so much, but school and stuff taking up 35 hours of my week and then like 8 hours of homework and studying really limit me to evenings and weekends!
@Dylan: Hahahhaha, now you flatter me. Well, I do spend all the time I can into drawing but I don't really anything else, literally, so I guess there's the tradeoff.
@alrap:Thank you, if only I can draw on the tablet though...
20 minutes. Colors are made up
15 minutes
30 minutes
10 mintues
Well, that's like a crappy halfass 10 minutes....
From Game of thrones, 10 minutes each, I think Sansa took a bit longer though.
For CHOW again
And here, a flash of inspiration.
Cow baby trampling gives you stinking feet you know. With how those smelly bits stick on the feet, not even the second coming Jesus can get rid of 'em.
Great work! I like your figures. Keep posting.
My Blog and My Sketchbook
Thanks very much Cojac
For IOW
And I tried using RGB sliders and I fucking loved it!
It just gives so much insight into how color really works in terms of light, as opposed in terms of paint qualities like hue and saturation. It's so much easier to get vibrant colors with RGB. It might seem confusing at first, but trust me, it's way easier to see variations in terms of different components of light rather than hue and saturation.
So here's a rather stylized version of Hillary Clinton.
It's fun exaggerating the color shifts from the ref.
yeah getting to use to the rgb sliders helps load! keep up the good work!
really nice work. lots of it
after looking at the mouse study, id say sometimes its good to just to back to practicing basic shapes in perspective. the mouse proportions might be a little off, though the rendering is good
great work on CHOW robot+girl
Aaron, keep drawing my friend.
I love that angry self portrait.
Hey guys, thanks for the comments. I've been doing very few digital paintings recently, so I didn't update at all. Maybe sometime I'll take out my digi cam again and upload all the traditional drawings I've been doing.
@aks9:Yeah, you're totally right. I really need to get more practice with perspective, I have no idea how it works really. Thanks for the crit.
@Nicky:Hahaha, man, thanks a ton. That's funny as hell!
@kidult:Yep, it helped loads.
And here are some crap.
Well, here's a pencil sketch. Name's Pat, she's a woman in her 30s. Been roaming the deserts with a bandit group ever since she was young. But now, she's alone, and very dangerous.

Average global effective tax rate increases two percentage points in three years for industrial products and automotive sectors. The steady upward trend in average effective tax rates globally from 2010 (26.1 percent) to 2012 (28.3 percent) took place despite a reduction in statutory rates of corporate income tax around the world.
Tax rate benchmarking can give company executives valuable data and insight into their tax functions, helping them to evaluate departmental strategy and performance.
PwC's 2013 edition of Assessing tax, a benchmarking study for industrial products and automotive sectors, provides a detailed analysis of tax rate metrics for 316 companies to highlight related trends overall and for each sector reviewed.
This year's report begins with a special report on comprehensive tax reform. Addressing multiple perspectives on the issue, the discussion delves into approaches to tax reform, recent tax reform developments, and the opportunities and potential impacts of business tax reform, both domestic and international.
Additionally, the report outlines recent tax reform proposals, and how efforts such as the House Ways and Means Committee bipartisan working groups and the Senate Finance Committee bipartisan member meetings are helping to drive toward tax reform legislation.

Abby Egan
When I started college, I was intimidated by my peers that knew exactly what they wanted to do. I knew what I liked to do but not what I might want to do after college, realistically. So, I entered my freshman year with an undecided major...and an immeasurable pressure to figure out who I was going to be.
I rushed to declare my major as English/creative writing because I love to write. But then I decided I love kids and I'd rather be a teacher so I changed it to education/literature. But then I realized that I hate literature classes, so I went back to English/writing. And then I decided I love philosophy, so I added a philosophy minor. This past semester, I realized I love psychology classes, too, so I'm even thinking of adding a psychology minor now. What I learned along the way was 1. Find what you love, 2. Don't be afraid when that changes, and 3. Connect with your academic advisor.
An academic advisor – the person who helps you choose your classes and makes sure you're doing everything you need to graduate – is the most valuable asset you have on campus, as they are available to you for unbiased advice and guidance every step of the way. For me, this person was Mr. Elder. We met during orientation; he was this ancient old man that only spoke when the moment called for his wise input, which was usually dispensed in the form of a long-winded story with a moral ending. He has been my advisor since day one and I can honestly say I would be utterly lost without him.
But just because you're assigned to one advisor doesn't mean you can't seek out another who better suits your needs. Find the best academic advisor you can so they can layout the opportunities available to you. A good academic advisor will lead you to where you want to go but allow you choose the direction in which to travel. They are your connection to the dreams you want to achieve beyond college, even when your dreams change as frequently as mine do.
Abby Egan is currently a junior at MCLA in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, where she is an English Communications major with a concentration in writing and a minor in philosophy. Abby hopes to find work at a publishing company after college and someday publish some of her own work. In her spare time, Abby likes to drink copious amounts of coffee, spend all her money on adorable shoes and blog into the wee hours of the night.

The summer is a crazy time. For most, it means one thing – work – but it doesn't have to: Aside from internships and summer classes, there are many ways to keep up with the things you are interested in over the summer.
The point to take from all of this? Don't waste your summer. There is always something you can be doing to better your resume, your passion, your focus, your knowledge or your wallet. Don't let opportunities slip away and don't let summer pass you by – it's short enough as it is!
Mike Sheffey is a junior at Wofford College double majoring in computer science and Spanish. He loves all things music and has recently taken up photography.

Veronica Gonzalez
My name is Veronica Yvette Gonzalez. I'm 20 years old and I'm entering my third year at the University of the Incarnate Word this fall. At UIW, I major in English. I'm also a committed member and fellow officer of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society at UIW. In ALD, I was vice president from 2012 to 2013; this fall I will be a returning officer but this time as a junior delegate.
The main reason why I chose to attend UIW was because I found it possible to pursue a career in writing there. The English Department offered all kinds of classes and recommendations to help me pursue my dream career. Another reason why I chose UIW was because of its friendliness and hospitality. When I researched the school, it was totally different from other universities: UIW wasn't going to hook me up with so many classes and tell me "Good luck" – they stepped up and helped me get through the first day of school. They were very helpful and brilliant at answering every question I had.
Majoring in English was an automatic choice: Ever since I was a kid, I read lots of books and I envisioned writing my own books and signing them for my fans. At UIW, I was placed in special classes where the professors were hands-on and gave every student feedback on their essays and stories. Having an advanced start to a writing career in college is heaven! Although I am quite busy with school, I also make time to read, write, draw, paint and brainstorm ideas on what to write about.
When I heard Scholarships.com was calling for virtual interns, I immediately rose to the challenge. As a writer, I know that I shouldn't be afraid to put my writing to the test. This internship won't just look good on my resume – it will advance my dream career because I will gain so much experience as a writer!

Melissa Garrett
I am a creative writing major at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA. I was raised in Dallas but often visited family in Pennsylvania growing up; I was very drawn to the aesthetic of Pittsburgh, as well as the nice people. Although Chatham's campus is in the middle of the city, its beautiful surroundings and foliage make it a wonderful environment in which to learn. In addition, all of the women of Chatham are extremely kind and supportive of each other. Not very many people experience single-sex education and I have really enjoyed my experience despite my doubts.
I was drawn to a creative writing major because I just love writing and being creative. I am always coming up with new ideas and putting them down on paper; this is also what made me want to be a virtual intern for Scholarhips.com because I love to write about significant events. I am in the process of self-publishing my books of various genres and have a Facebook page dedicated to my projects.
I have little spare time with all that I do around campus but I love to just spend time with friends and go into the city. I love to go out shopping for new items for my eccentric wardrobe and I also enjoy listening to metal music at local shows. Going out for a cup of tea is fun, too.
Carly Gerber
Let's travel back in time to the beginning of my senior year of high school when my guidance counselor posed this question: "Do you want to go to a university in a rural area or a university in a city?" The question seemed pretty straightforward to me...until I started visiting colleges. Luckily, I visited many types of schools and the visits gave me an idea of where I would best fit but I soon realized that the answer to my guidance counselor's question was not as black and white as I thought.
From my experience, I learned that you must be as precise as possible when describing where you want to attend college. Some people believe a city school describes any university near a city, not necessarily in the heart of the city. If you prefer one setting over the other, tell your counselor exactly what you are looking for and they will help you find colleges and universities that match your preferences.
There's also a difference when thinking about rural schools. The University of Wisconsin - Madison and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are Big Ten schools and can be referred to as colleges in rural areas; after visiting both schools, however, one will realize that they are in two very different locations, as one is in a well-to-do suburb while the other is among the cornfields of southern Illinois. I am not suggesting one location is better than another but make sure understand a college's location and if its location fits your character.
If you have the funds, you should attempt to visit many different colleges; in fact, I suggest starting as early as your freshman year of high school. I visited a university I had been accepted into, but I would have never applied there if I had visited the school before sending in the application. The simple question my guidance counselor asked me was actually quite broad. If you are met with the same query, take time to research the many universities offered so you can decide the location that's right for you.
Carly Gerber is majoring in journalism at Columbia College Chicago. She loves fashion and hopes to cover the topic for a Chicago-area magazine. In her free time, she focuses on her blog, loves making jewelry and spending time on Pinterest and Pose. She hopes to use this blog to guide and relate to its followers: college students like herself!

Anthony Guzmán
Howdy, Scholarships.com readers! My name is Anthony Guzmán, a sophomore business major and Spanish minor from Austin but most importantly, I am the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2016!
That's my typical introduction as a student here at Texas A&M University in College Station. As for how I got to this point, choosing my school was cake after I experienced A&M's family feel, tradition and dedication to financial aid. (Yay!) I study business management because I love people and intend to use my major to help others through non-profit organizations. I am also the first in my family to attend college so I'm trailblazing and taking advantage of all the opportunities that have arisen right in front of me.
But I am not always doing the nerdy college thing! I love to dance, hang out and meet new friends. I call myself athletic because I casually knock the soccer ball around and I go out for a few long runs. Also, I participate in many organizations: For example, I am heavily involved in ministry at my school's parish, which reflects my deep love for my faith.
As you begin your journey toward college, you may be tempted into thinking, "Look at all these successful college kids...they make it sound so easy" or "I'm not as bright as them." Well don't fall into that: Just over a year ago, I had no idea what, where or if I would study after high school but I was fortunate enough to find resources to help prepare myself for what was to come! So think of this guy Anthony as your friend or big brother, a resource you can utilize. Feel free to pick my brain – that is what I am here for! You are already on your way to a bright future. Thanks and Gig'em!

Hi all! My name is Abby and I'll be a junior this fall at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA). Nice to meet you!
I chose MCLA mainly because it was as far away from the city as possible: I'm from Quincy, MA, right outside Boston, so I'm well acquainted with the city lifestyle but when choosing a college, I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone. I major in English Communications with a concentration in writing and a minor in philosophy but when I'm not busy with schoolwork, I love to read, drink tea and walk around town with my camera. Most of the time, however, I run a very busy lifestyle including working three jobs, participating in two volunteer groups and testing out more clubs than I could possibly count.
I applied to be a virtual intern with Scholarships.com this summer because I saw this as my chance to use my own experiences to help incoming college students get a taste of what college is really all about. When it comes down to it, I'm just a regular girl finding her footing in the college atmosphere...just like you. Hopefully I'll be able to shine some light on what it's like to live away from home and start the next chapter of your life but the best advice I can give you would be 1. sleep is the most important thing in the world, and 2. your college experience will be what you make of it. Looking forward to sharing more with you soon!

AUSTIN -- For many the traditional Thanksgiving meal poses a dilemma -- eat what you want or eat sensibly. Many of us may find it hard to turn our backs on the traditional turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and -- did we mention -- dessert. Health experts tell us there are options out there that are still pretty tasty without all the calories.
As customers stocked up on some last-minute Thanksgiving items at the Crestview Minimax it was clear for some -- eating healthy -- wasn't on the shopping list.
"I try to do it throughout the year," said Gary Anaya, an Austin resident. "But during the holidays I think everybody cheats a little bit. You try to stay healthy, but you know it's very, very hard and tempting. What do you do?"
Health experts say there are ways to survive the caloric onslaught. Try a low-salt ham or even fish as the main source of protein.
"If you are going to have the turkey -- turkey is a great source of protein -- I would do the white meat and take away that skin and limit the dark meat," said Laura DeStafeno, a Registered Dietician at St. David's South. "Any time you see fat on meat always, cut it away because it's saturated fat."
DeStafeno says the average person will consume about 3,000 calories on Thanksgiving. She says a third of that comes from liquids such as eggnog, alcohol or sugared sodas.
"Most of the time people drink about a thousand calories at Thanksgiving," she said.
DeStafeno says someone truly interested in eating healthier should divide their plate into three sections.
"Half of your plate being non starchy vegetables," she said. "A quarter of you plate -- of that circle -- should be some sort of carb choice. Then a quarter being some sort of lean protein."
DeStafeno says she doesn't like to tell someone they can never eat a certain food, but she does strongly suggest moderation. It's a lesson 84-year-old Helen Scheer says she learned a long time ago.
"It helps you not to gain weight, and it's good for your body," said Scheer, an Austin resident. "It's healthy, so I eat a little at a time, and I take some home and I eat some more the next day."
As for desserts, DeStafano says pies and cakes that are sugar free can make a significant difference, but she says to be sure to follow the directions or their taste may make you a little less thankful.

Remember when we thought Arizona legislators would give it a rest? They're back in action (again). Tuesday many of you joined us for the morning vigil, meetings with legislatures and finally sitting through a dreadfully long hearing (it went pass midnight!). Thank you keeping up the fight. Your voices ARE being heard.
Here is the the lengthy list of anti-immigrant bills that the appropriations committee passed on Monday:
- SB 1308: States can create separate birth certificates for children who meet a new definition of a citizen and those who do not, denying birth certificates to Arizona children born to undocumented parents.
- SB 1309: Creates a new definition of citizen, defining children as citizens of Arizona and the U.S. if at least one of their parents was either a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent U.S. resident. Again, denying citizenship to Arizona children born to undocumented parents.
- SB 1405: Would mandate hospitals to check the immigration status of all non-emergency admissions and emergency patients, and contact ICE if patients do not have proof of citizenship.
- SB 1407: (Schools; data; noncitizen students) would require schools to identify and collect data on undocumented students.
SB 1611: (Immigration omnibus) Undocumented people will be unable to drive (car will be confiscated if caught), rent a car, buy a car, register for school (elementary through college), home school, live in public housing, obtain a marriage license in Arizona, etc.
I know you're just as tired as we are of their political games, but we can't stop now. Tuesday's appropriations committee hearing was the first step in a long process, and the bills' ultimate fate is still unclear, which means we must continue the fight! They still need the support of a majority of the full Senate, a House committee and the full House before reaching the governor or becoming law.
Please send them a quick fax and give them a call to make sure they know their constituents won't accept bills that will only further divide Arizona and distract us from the real issues that are affecting the lives of Arizonans.
Tell your legislators to "Vote no against SB1308, SB1309, SB1405, SB1407, SB1519 and SB1611." These bills won't move Arizona forward and are wasting our tax prayer dollars.
The following legislators voted against these awful bills:
Olivia Cajero Bedford, Democrat
The following legislators votes for these bills:
Sylvia Allen, Republican
(to her credit, she voted against SB 1611)
Don Shooter, Republican

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso, May 4, 2010 —
A mid-morning ceremony in Ouagadougou, May 3, 2010, marked the beginning of Flintlock 10, an annual exercise that focuses on improving military interoperability and capacity-building of participating militaries from Northern and Western Africa, Europe and the United States. The exercise is conducted by Special Operations Command Africa's Joint Special Operations Task Force – Trans Sahara and will run through May 23.
"The overall objectives of the exercise are to build and enhance the military interoperability of select African, European, and U.S. forces at the operational and tactical levels," said Ambassador J. Anthony Holmes, U.S. Africa Command's deputy to the commander for Civil-Military Activities. "To build enduring relationships and trust with each other that will enable us to find mutual solutions to some of the issues that breed discontent and extremism and share ideas and methodologies that can create an environment in which hope and opportunity have a chance to flourish."
Flintlock is part of an annual exercise program USAFRICOM conducts with African partner nations in Northern and Western Africa. This exercise program strengthens security institutions, promotes multilateral sharing of information, and develops interoperability among the partner nations of the Trans-Sahara Counter-Terrorism Partnership. As part of this program, Flintlock helps to achieve USAFRICOM objectives for military-to-military training and multinational regional cooperation.
"Flintlock 2010 represents a remarkable opportunity to seize in response to the threats posed by terrorist organizations in the region," said Burkina Faso's Defence Minister Yero Boly. "We hope this military exercise will strengthen the new wave of cooperation in the field of defense and security in the region and that will improve the capacity and the confidence in formulating planning and preventing crisis."
This year's exercise consists of activities and events in locations in several different countries throughout the region.
It will include the establishment a deployed Joint Special Operations Task Force to conduct real-time coordination with all participating nations. A Multi-National Coordination Center will be established here which will serve as a focal point for multi-national information sharing as well as the planning of synchronized operations. The MCC will conduct academic training for all participants, culminating in a command post exercise involving instruction, scenario development and a control group to enhance the participants' ability to work collaboratively toward solving a shared regional crisis involving illegal activities which disrupt stability and security.
The tactical portion of Flintlock 10 will consist of small-unit combined training and activities involving U.S. and partner nation militaries throughout the region. The exercise will also include Medical and Veterinary Civic Action Programs that will be conducted to provide the populations in rural areas health information and medical care.
"I believe what's important for us is what we are going to gain from the strengthening of our military capabilities," said Minister Boly. "It's a great opportunity for our armed forces to share experiences and knowledge with armed forces of partner nations."
An important objective of this exercise is to promote the interoperability of the militaries of partner nations. Future operations in the region will involve the combined multinational militaries of several different nations. The interoperability of African nations will be critical to successful African peacekeeping operations and provide regional stability in the greater security efforts on the continent.
" The goal is to improve the ability of our collective forces to achieve this interoperability by overcoming potential tactical and technical incompatibilities while operating throughout the large expanse of the Trans-Sahara region," said Ambassador Holmes. "Ultimately, we will enhance each other's capabilities to communicate, coordinate, and operate against those elements that strive to destabilize the governments and harm the peoples of the Trans-Sahara."
To this end, Flintlock 10 includes more than 1,200 participants and observers from 16 nations and the African Union.
But true interoperability is more than just compatible systems and procedures; it's also developing a cadre of professionals who know how to work with each other.
"I anticipate learning a great deal from my African and European partners as we work together throughout this exercise in the spirit of cooperation," said U.S. Army Colonel Kurt Crytzer, commander of Joint Special Operations Task Force - Trans Sahara and U.S. commander for the Multi-National Coordination Center. "This exercise is designed to build and foster relationships among our nations working through a myriad of issues, significant and unique to the region. Getting to know each other, listening and learning from each other and mutually supporting each other go a long way to understanding the different challenges we face."
Through exercises such as Flintlock, the United States provides military training opportunities to foster relationships of peace, security and cooperation throughout Trans-Saharan region.
"My goal is that we all grow from Flintlock and we return to our home stations being better leaders than when we arrived," said Crytzer. "I have no doubt I will not be disappointed."

The Barn
Raised in a Family of Florida Shade Tobacco Farmers, the Author Fights To Save a Piece of That Past
Kay Davis Lay
From the Print Edition:
Pierce Brosnan, Nov/Dec 97
"Today, they are tearing down the old tobacco barn." Putting that down on paper in March 1984 was meant to freeze the day in my mind. And to help hold on to memories of it. It was a place where we'd all worked our hearts out every summer. I'd been just five years old in 1946, but had practiced stringing fig and hydrangea leaves so I could work with the other children and grown folks. In the summers, there were anywhere from 20 to 40 people, black and white, counting the barn crew and those out in the field we called a "shade," because it had cheesecloth to protect our unique kind of tobacco--a type that's used to wrap cigars.
As the sound of the crowbars pulling out nails and blows of the sledgehammers loosening tierpoles proceeded, a vile taste came in my mouth. I looked at my husband, Bob, in desperation and said, "We have to stop them!"
We hurried out to the barn, where two workers, Nathaniel and John McNealy, were dismantling the familiar old landmark--perhaps to use the timbers elsewhere on the farm. I never asked the purpose. Bob suggested they hold off till we could talk to my brother, Forrest Davis Jr. Convincing my brother to leave the barn was the easy part. Deciding what to do with it was the hard part, as was accepting the reality that I was to become the "caretaker" of a monstrous, 160-foot-long relic (which my father, Forrest Davis Sr., had built in 1942). A relic of a crop Gadsden County, Florida, had just as soon forgotten.
In August 1975, the International Trade Commission refused to impose a tariff on foreign-grown shade tobacco. It meant the death knell for a crop that had been grown in our county for more than a century and a half. A crop on which some 18,000 people had depended for a livelihood. Almost everything connected with tobacco became obsolete. Farmers were frantically turning to mushrooms, tomatoes, peaches, plant nurseries, even kitty litter mining.
The county was undergoing a complete transformation away from the beautiful old barns, cheesecloth shades and tenant quarters of a plantation-like past. The Gadsden town of Havana (named for the Cuban capital) was becoming an antique dealers' paradise.
Nothing exactly wrong with that. It just seemed sad that a whole generation of young people were growing up without even knowing that Quincy, Florida--some 20 miles northwest of Tallahassee--was once the "Shade Tobacco Capital."
As more and more local barns collapsed or were blown or torn down, it felt to me like old friends dying. I grieved for each one--but surely our three barns (two of which dated from the 1800s and were moved to the farm in the 1960s) were going to survive. Especially this one.
So, during the spring of 1984 I bluffed along, with just an old sun hat and a sling. Even keeping the weeds around it at bay was a battle. My husband, a 62-year-old heart patient, let me enjoy my new hobby. Forrest and his family had a peach orchard and U-Pic stand to run.
In his heart, I think my brother loved the barn. I know my then-78-year-old mother did. For in its prime, when shade tobacco was king in Gadsden County, Olean Shuler Davis had gladly taken care of firing (heating) the newly hung sticks of leaves at night, tended the mules that were vital to plowing under the cheesecloth, ran a little store where she served cold drinks and homemade sandwiches and cakes, and kept all seven of us "workers"--my parents and the five kids--in clothes and meals, as well. To all the hands, which included neighbors' children, she was a mother figure. Under hers and my dad's supervision, two sons had risen in Future Farmers of America; one, Forrest, became the 1950 Star Farmer and the other, Hal, became a National Officer the same year.
The barn had been photographed by Life magazine, Country Gentleman and any number of newspapers worldwide. Lord knows, if any barn in the county was special, this one was. Perhaps that might mean some grant monies for its preservation as a historical or significant property. The first call for help was to the Gadsden County Historical Society, but its president regretfully told me it had no resources or funds to help with such a project. He steered me to a fellow tobacco farmer, T.W. Touchton, who had opened an Indian artifacts museum. This led Bob and me on an enjoyable side track (there were to be many). His lasting gift was our first taped interview on the growing of shade tobacco.

Hoops: Murray Smith leaves Summit Christian, close to Lake Worth jobby Jeff Greer
Longtime Palm Beach County basketball coach Murray Smith has left Summit Christian.
Smith is close to taking the head coaching job at Lake Worth, where former coach Mike Cavanagh resigned after the 2011-12 season. Lake Worth Principal George Lockhart, who was away on business earlier this week, must approve Smith as the coach before the move is official.
JR Gamble, Summit Christian's athletic director, will be Summit's basketball coach, according to several sources. Gamble posted a classified advertisement on FHSAA.org asking for opponents for Summit's upcoming season.
Smith's move isn't surprising — his departure coincides with the graduation of Farad Cobb and Brandon Williams, two Division I signees. The Saints won the 2011 Class 1A state championship, and reached it two years prior.
He won back-to-back titles at Cardinal Newman in 1999 and 2000.
