Always FREE shipping!
Free Shipping offer is limited to USPS First Class mail or FedEx SmartPost when shipping to any location in the United States. At checkout, you will be prompted to choose a shipping method for your order. Shipping costs for methods other than USPS First Class mail or FedEx SmartPost are dependent on the items in your order and the shipping method you select.
International Shipping Policy
Countries that we are currently able to ship to:
At Regular Girl, we are constantly striving to accommodate all international customers and make their purchase experience simple, safe, and professional. In some cases, we are restricted by U.S. State Department regulations, and in other cases, we cannot ship to certain countries for other business related reasons. Note: For customers in the U.S. military, we ship to all APO, FPO, and DPO addresses regardless of country.
Restricted Items
Due to International import regulations, some products may not be available for purchase. HOWEVER, we cannot guarantee that our restriction information is always up to date and it's possible that a restricted item will not trigger a message in your cart. As regulations change constantly, we strongly recommend that you check with your local authorities for information on regulations that may affect your ability to receive your order. Unfortunately, we cannot issue a refund of any kind for orders seized or destroyed by Customs unless the order is returned back to our warehouse in an undamaged and resalable condition. Refunds issued will be for the cost of the merchandise only; shipping costs will not be reimbursed. We welcome your feedback. If you find a product that needs to be restricted or allowed to ship to your country, please contact us with the product name and a link to the relevant regulatory agency policy from your local authority's website. We'll inspect the issue immediately and update our restrictions accordingly.
International Shipping Options
International orders, if approved for shipping, will be charged at actual shipping rates. Quotes will be provided in advance for your confirmation. Delivery time frames are estimates only and do not take into account weekends, holidays, or processing and packing (please allow 24-48 hours for packing). Please allow your order time to pass through customs procedures; an international order will not be considered 'lost' until 60 days from the date of shipment. We are unable to process claims until the 60 day period has passed. Please note: Before you make a purchase, please be aware of the personal purchase limit set by your country. If your order exceeds this limit, you will need to arrange for a broker to clear your package through customs.
Duties and Taxes
Duties and taxes are different in every country and many factors play a role in determining if they need to be paid. Orders shipped to countries outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes and customs duties levied by the destination country. From our experience, most international customers are not charged when they receive their shipment, however, any additional charges for customs clearance must be paid by the recipient. Customs policies vary widely from country to country and we recommend contacting your local customs office for further information. If you do get charged an additional fee, the carrier may expect payment at the time of delivery. If you refuse the shipment because of these charges, or if an order is rejected by customs due to item restrictions, or if the order is returned because the local shipper is unable to locate your address, we can refund you for the cost of unopened and resalable products (which does not include any shipping or return shipping fees) once the package is returned. Please note that packages returned by customs can sometimes take a very long time to return.
International Returns Policy
Because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) places numerous strict regulations upon the delivery of consumable items into the country, Regular Girl may not be able to process returns on international orders. If you received the wrong item or the product appears defective, please contact Customer Service at firstname.lastname@example.com we will review each circumstance on a case-by-case basis to determine if a return can be processed.
3rd Party Shipping Companies /Freight Forwarders
Using international freight forwarders or 3rd party shipping companies can be a convenient way to receive orders to your foreign address. However, please know that if you elect to use this type of service, we cannot issue you a refund of any kind or accept any return of any order handled by any outside courier. We cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss that occurs due to handling of your order by an outside courier. If you experience any kind of damage or loss when using this type of service, please contact the 3rd party company for remedy.
Address Errors
If you make an address error on your order, please note that we cannot change the delivery address after an order has been submitted. Please know that we work directly with our shippers to help resolve address issues where possible, but we cannot be held responsible for any delays, fees, or other delivery issues if you've made an error in the shipping information on your order. If such an error causes an order to be rejected, lost, or destroyed, we cannot issue a refund or replacement of any kind. If the error causes the order to be sent back to us, you may be responsible for return shipping fees, and we'll only be able to refund you for the cost of unopened and resalable merchandise only.
Violation of laws
Please familiarize yourself with your country's import restrictions before ordering. We cannot be held responsible for any delays, fees, fines, or penalties incurred by your order due to a violation of law. Items sold at RegularGirl.com are intended for personal use.
Customs Seizure
Unfortunately, we cannot issue a refund of any kind for orders seized, damaged, or destroyed by Customs unless the order is returned back to our warehouse in undamaged and resalable condition. In that event, refunds issued will be for the cost of unopened and resalable merchandise only; shipping costs will not be reimbursed. Please note that if the cost to return a rejected package to our warehouse exceeds the value of the order, we'll instruct the courier to destroy the package and we'll be unable to issue a refund of any kind.
Package loss
Although it is rare for international orders to get lost, please be aware that it can happen. International orders may take up to 60 days to clear customs, depending upon delivery method and government procedures. An international order will not be considered "lost" until 60 days have elapsed from the date of shipment. We are unable to process claims until this 60-day period has passed. Refunds issued will be for the cost merchandise only; shipping costs will not be reimbursed. Please note that we do not offer replacements or store credits. In the event that your order has been lost, you must report it as lost to us within 90 days of date of purchase. Please contact us by email, 7 days a week, to discuss your options.

Regular Girl cannot be held responsible for any laws or regulations that result in Customs applying additional cost to your order, whether tax or duties, nor any related delivery delays or seized products. However, please note that the vast majority of international shipments do not experience problems or delays, and our customers are very rarely assessed additional fees. In the event additional fees are assessed to your order, your local Customs authority may contact you directly. By ordering from RegularGirl.com, you agree to our policies above.

Summer has become about markets for me. How can I get to them and what do I really need when I am finally there? It is definitely the first peek into summer when I can go to the farmers' market and get fresh strawberries or buy a ton of cucumbers that are freshly picked. I must say nothing smells nicer or looks more beautiful.

A couple of friends are pregnant or just had babies so I've been looking out for baby presents that are a bit different. These baby blankets by Carousel Belle are gorgeous and not your average run-of-the-mill designs, I had some trouble choosing just one so here are a few of my favourites.
My hands-down favourite is this cowboy blanket. On one side is a soft cow hide design and the other is a print of cowboys rearing up on their horses, chatting on fences and doing other cowboys things.
Know anyone due a baby in the moustache growing month of Movember? This blanket could be the perfect pressie, especially if Daddy-to-be is mustachioed for charity.
This vintage-style tattoo design is really pretty with the purple spotty fleece on the back.
I just love the Frida Kahlo design.
If you like your baby blankets a little more traditional, the Red Riding Hood blanket is sweet in clashy pink and red.
I could carry on showing you these gorgeous blankets all day as there is such a choice, check out the lovely London design that would be great for a Jubilee baby and the slightly macabre Day of the Dead designs.
These are all under £20, which I think is a great price for such unique blankets. Which is your favourite?
P.S. Apologies for the big gap in blog posts recently, life took over a bit!

This is something that you just don't hear enough about. Survivors speak and they go from their abuse to what they are currently doing, not describing enough of the true gut-wrenching feelings that you have in the days weeks or months after you leave. Life after abuse is so positive, but truth be told, sometimes you feel like it's harder than the abuse. There are many great programs that will help you with the transition from where you have been to where you will be. The Victim Compensation Fund is a great program that will help with Mental Health Therapy, relocation and many other things, plus some cities have at least one shelter to turn to. There are many options for assistance; you just need to safely find them.
After almost 8 years since the abuse, I still deal with my after. There are still days that I apologize incessantly, cry at the drop of a hat, feel totally worthless and take the weight of the world on my shoulders. I still don't let people see beyond the mask of total happiness — if you met me, you would never know the past that I am hiding. This is the truth about life after abuse. I married my Prince Charming at 19 after a year of dating. We were married about 15 months before he became physically abusive. I became withdrawn from my family and long-term friends out of fear they would find out. I left after 3 ½ years of marriage following a huge fight.
I had no money except for an ATM card that I was just sure he would cancel quickly, no place to go and no clothes. I left with a bag that had no makeup, hair brush or deodorant – only a toothbrush and a change of clothes. I didn't really know anyone to call, besides I really didn't want anyone to know. So I drove to the only hotel in town. The hotel was booked! How in the world could a Days Inn in a town of 30,000 people, mostly farm laborers, be BOOKED?! NO WAY was my thought. I begged and pleaded for a room with no luck. I couldn't go to a shelter for fear I would lose my job if they found out, so I slept in my car that night. Ok, let's be honest, I didn't sleep. I waited for him to find me – and then went into work the next day and acted as if everything was normal. My husband worked 30 minutes from our house so I knew that I could, safely, go home at lunch without him there to get something for the next day. I didn't go home the day after I left because I didn't know if he would expect that and be there. I knew what the consequence would be for leaving.
I met someone at my gym who let me sleep on the couch until I got on my feet. For three months I hid. For three months, my abuser came to my work to 'take care of me,' bringing me little things like protein shakes, soup and money, all to entice me back into my old life. I was so secretive about my separation that people I worked with thought we were still happily married until after my divorce was final. Even through it all I wanted to make him happy. I wanted to make everything ok. I knew that I couldn't go back but that didn't mean that I wanted anything negative to happen to him or me. I just wanted to move on; I wanted a healthy life and chance to be more than just So & So's wife – I wanted to be Shana.
Most victims would say that you become the queen of appearance. You know how to smile regardless of what just happened and act like everything is fine. The months after I left were horribly hard. I thought it would never get better. I thought I would never be able to support myself, be able to pay my own bills and be a successful adult without him. I often thought about going back because that would have been so much easier, at least in that arena I knew what to expect.
I couldn't handle most loud noises. A slamming cupboard in the next apartment would make me jump and TV shows with violence would give me horrible nightmares (I still don't do well with them). I was sick to my stomach constantly worried that my work or my family would find out my secret. I didn't sleep very well; always worried that he would come to get me. There were days that I would cry – just sob – because I felt like I failed. I was getting divorced at 23 years old. I couldn't handle the reality in my mind as a complete failure. To this day I feel like that sometimes.
Two months after I left, I finally went to our apartment to move my things into storage and on that day he tried to kill me. I remember thinking that I would die by strangulation. Thankfully, he let me go and I eventually moved to San Diego where I eventually found a job. To forget the past, I drank and had little self-worth. I did anything to try and forget the past. I thought that forgetting it was better than dealing with it. Most people seem to shy away from people after being in an abusive relationship, but I ran head first into as much attention as I could. I went to therapy and tried to talk to my friends, but no one believed that the man I was married to would do anything to hurt me. I felt so isolated and only two people stuck by me through all of this.
I moved to Orange County in 2003, and it was my big chance for a future. I got a job with a temporary agency, making barely enough money to pay my bills, but everything was MINE. The best part was that HE didn't know where I lived. Until the day he called and begged to get back together, he had changed.
We had been apart for 18 months so I wanted to believe him. I made the mistake of allowing HIM to come down and spend a weekend to talk and see if there was anything left of the relationship and to see if he had changed. How perfect! I could be with him and have no violence and then I hadn't really failed at marriage, right? After spending time with him, I realized he hadn't changed. He was still the same person. I asked him to leave and he did. Over the past several years he has emailed me and contacted me on MySpace and Facebook. I've come to realize he will never stop trying to reach me.
After a while, I started working on myself, realizing that my unhappiness was not good for me. I deserved to be happy. What I went through with him was not a reflection of who I am or what I am worth. I started writing again and encourage others to write about their day and feelings and then reflect on what you have written.
I began to feel like my old self again. I started looking at dating again and I even stopped drinking occasionally. I didn't feel the need to be numb any more. In 2006, I had the amazing opportunity to become a mother through adoption. Every moment of my life became about this little girl. I knew that everything had to change but I never realized that I had pushed my past so far back in my mind. I didn't realize how much changing my life would require me to deal with things. I have been the mother to my beautiful daughter for 3 years and 5 months. Two and a half years ago I married an amazing man, a man that would never raise his hand to me. To this day, I don't like scarves around my neck, or really anything touching the front of my neck. I apologize for everything, my fault or not. I worry that my daughter will follow in my footsteps, just as I followed in my mother's. I worry that no matter how many times I say I am a SURVIVOR of domestic violence that I will have nightmares for the rest of my life.
Surviving domestic violence is one day at a time. I believe that forgiveness is important in moving on but not forgetting because this made you a stronger person. You lived through something that most people couldn't. I don't like people to pity me or apologize for what HE did to me. I want people to see me as a strong woman, a mother and a wife – a woman that survived and is thriving. A woman with a mission to help educate others on domestic violence.
Are you supposed to be terrified to leave? YES. Are you supposed to think about him afterwards? YES. Are you supposed to be able to move on and have a happy and healthy relationship? YES. There is no one way to deal with the after trauma of domestic violence but know you can do it. There are so many people here to help, so many organizations that want you to succeed!
You can do it. Each person deals with this in their own way, none of them are any better – only different.

Song "Raekwon: About Me Lyrics" from Raekwon Lyrics album:
[Intro: Busta Rhymes (Raekwon)]
Aiyo, Shallah, what up? (Yeah, you know how we do it)
(Turn me up, kid, let's get it popping)
Crazy, let's go get 'em killa (Yo Dre, good looking on this coke, man)
(This shit is official)
Aiyo, it's back to business, making them diskettes, pushing sixes
Rocking wild animals on jackets are sickening
Hear me? From here to Rockaway to Cali, we flipped this
Broad day, Chef'll saute, his lyrics is crispy
Now I got Dre up in the kitchen, Rae stuck in position
Bout to flame broil his coke and get busy
What? Politics, pop collars and drive violent whips
Stay fly, hungry and wise, you know the code, honor it
Sit back, yelling it's nothing, unless his buttons get pressed
We don't stress nothing, we only get dressed
Stretched out, moving professional, frying more fish
I heard it in slurs, them niggas is blessed
While we ball to the maximum, give me the floor, for real
I show off and let my money get stretched
Take it to a new level, new bezzle, few rebels
Few wolves with medals on, you know we get test
[Chorus: Raekwon (Busta Rhymes)]
Me, nigga, me, that's who, Cash Rule
(Hah, better slow it down, niggas'll smash you, homey, uh)
Me, nigga, me, pass through, rascals
(Hah, half gorilla, half ape in them track suits, black, come on)
Me, nigga, me, capsules, birds, whips
Ounces and fifths (no licking the glass, duke, yeah)
Yeah, yea-yea-yeah, yea-yea-yeah, yeah (yeah)
I'm here, so it's there, yea-yea-yea-yeah, yeah
[Busta Rhymes:]
Here comes the, a lethal presentation taking you places you never been
Deadlier than the combination of coke and heroin
I see the weakness in most of you niggas that be hollering
So I toned it down, so these words be piercing your lower obdomen
What I meant to say abdomen, keep on listening and following
While I'm ditecting a German, hateful niggas, chicks be swallowing
And if you look funny to me, and there's a problem then
I put you under an ultraviolet light or a halogen
As if I was busy deciphering counterfeit dollars and
Hoes in like some kind of Biblical figure, King Solomon
Hah, just for the record, what we do is essential
While I captivate the masses and keep the moments eventful
Doc Dre, Bust, Shallah Rae, see the vision?
Most you niggas still in disbelief, just came into fruition now
Pop the cork up off this bottle and you pour it
So euphoric, document this moment, shit is so historic
King of kings spit blood, all on my apron
Wash a nigga face with the mack, smoke 'em like Steak-umm's
Yeah my dynasty's brolic for real, we hunt E, catch the rat
Blow his waist, float in the stream
You know we all-pro with it, anti auto-tune
Boom, my flow fire, sit by the stove, hit it
Real niggas, official as listeners, gangstas and visitors
Step in the shit, we all prisoners
Might take the hammer from you, know I'm the animal
Rock a spur fur hat, no niggas in sandals, boo
Everyday get money and dress rugged, these are the times
Keep a nine on you, blow off in public
And I will surely feed my niggas the streets
Cop the hottest things to get, and haters they can eat and then preach
And while it go down, worldwide, this the team, this the theme
Me, Dre, Rhymes, my money makers is mean, what?

Several months ago I put Member of the Month on hold but I never posted a thread about this in its actual forum.
MotM was a great thing while it lasted, but unfortunately as forum activity started to dwindle, as you'd expect so did any interest in Member of the Month, and polls started receiving fewer and fewer votes. Without support from members, ultimately MotM lost its purpose as a democratic system. I ended up having to place the deciding vote on a couple of occasions which I felt was unfair to the candidates.
Will MotM return in the future? I guess it's a possibility, but it really depends on whether we'll see an activity boost. For the time being, MotM is an unused space on the forum index, so in a week it will be moved to the Grave of the Dragon and locked indefinitely.
Thanks for reading!

Texas Governor scores just 4% in latest poll
Steve Watson
October 11, 2011
Congressman Ron Paul has been placed third in the latest telling poll to emerge from the traditional first primary state of New Hampshire, while Rick Perry could only tie for fifth, seeing his numbers plummet to just 4%.
Harvard University Institute of Politics and New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College poll placed Paul in third with 13% of the vote, making him only one of three candidates to score in double digits.
Herman Cain pulled in 20%, while Mitt Romney led the standings with 38%.
Following this weekend's Values Voter Summit straw poll win, the New Hampshire poll once again reflects the fact that Paul is maintaining his status as a top tier candidate.
Perry, on the other hand, has slumped after entering the race and quickly polling as the front runner, leading Romney by double-digit margins according to some surveys.
Perry has now seemingly slipped to the lower tier levels inhabited by candidates like Huntsman, Bachmann and Santorum.
Perry has failed abysmally in the two debates he has so far been involved in, and tonight's Washington Post/ Bloomberg debate at Dartmouth in New Hampshire, along with the next week's CNN debate, will be seen as make or break events for his campaign.
According to ABC News, the seating arrangements for tonight's debate have been based on the current standings in polls. ABC suggests that Cain will be seated next to Mitt Romney tonight, but makes no mention of where exactly Ron Paul will be situated in relation to Romney and Perry.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
The Paul campaign will be airing a new ad during the debate tonight.
The 30 second spot, part of a seven figure ad push in the early primary states, is entitled simply "Secure", and focuses on Paul's pledge to shore up America's borders.
"Ron Paul is the only Republican presidential candidate to put forth the notion that a strong national defense means ending destructive unconstitutional wars having an unclear connection to national security, ending costly state-building in regions where our presence is unwanted, and bringing hundreds of thousands of troops home to make America safer and cut overseas spending," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
"This ad will affirm Dr. Paul's standing as the best candidate to face issues pertaining to national security all in the context of refocusing our efforts on protecting America's borders and threats that might arrive on America's soil, not foreign lands," said Mr. Benton.

Pet installer and Libs
Basically in a nutshell, I made a data base with over 2000 libs that I removed from the latest Slackware Distro, What I was wondering is that maybe it could be incorporated Into the pet manager when it does the Lib/dependencies checks? That would make life so much easier for everybody who doesn't know what or how to do this.
http://www.puppylinux.ca/ttuuxxx/Libs/ <---Libs location
Here is 1 readers review that was emailed to me today
I'll keep his/her name anonymous
Thanks ttuuxxx
Dear Ttuuxxx,
Let me encourage you to continue on the path that you have started. And also please do not let other people change the course of what you want to do with your database. It is wonderful. Let me first describe my experience with puppy, before my questions and suggestions.
1) I install something.
2) find out that I have a missing library
3) go to slackware website and search by filename, which then tells me which package I need to download for that file and then I follow the instructions to install that slackware package in puppy.
4) and in the rare case, if slackware does not have it, I go to the debian website and I get it there, but in most cases slackware does the case fine.
Then let me proceed with my comments for you. I will give each one its own heading for organization:
comment 1: how does puppy interface with this database?
comment 1a: if it does so, would it have its own 'get' application. Damn it. I just don't have expertise in this. Yes... I am getting an idea now for comment 7.
comment 2: wouldn't it be nice if the petget install application would interface with this database when it does its dependency check? I have a better idea for comment 7.
comment 3: how would comment 2 be achieved and who would have the expertise (the author perhaps of petget?) to implement changes in the code of petget install application to do automatic downloads of required libraries not already present in puppy. Please see comment 7 for an alternative and a better idea.
comment 4: it is my opinion that the petget install application should be the preferred method of installing software in puppy. This being perhaps a (fact). Then this leaves primary importance to integrating petget with your database. This is my opinion. I am against manual installs. This is messy 1) because how do you remember you installed it? and 2) how do you uninstall the package? Do you agree with me?
comment 5: is their a difference between packages and files in your database?
comment 6: thanks again for the nice work
comment 7: why not have a sort of console command called ttuxxxdb, a simplified dependency install program. NOT AN APPLICATION INSTALLATION PROGRAM. Nor a modification of the pet installation process. The command would be simple and would not overun itself with features. Yes, this is my opinion and I stand by it.
so when you run 'ttuxxxdb programname' from the console, it will monitor and dynamically download all required packages for that program to run and make it then register them after it is all done downloading with the pet installation program.
So for every package that would be installed their would be for each and every one, an uninstallation link in petget and also one generic uninstall link for the all packages for the said program.
For example if php 5 was installed and 5 libraries were needed to satisfy successful running of the program, there would be an uninstall link for library 1,2,3,4,5 and an addition uninstall link for 1-5 cumalitive in the petget interface that is presently used by puppy.
Yes, this brings about the question: what if two programs use the same package? Well, 'ttuxxxdb' command would only keep track of libraries it installed. How it would detect if another program uses the same library. I do not know.
Ps. it doesn't have to have my name in it, but would be nice but i didn't do enough work for it
<-- excellent site
<-- Codec Test Files

your query is too general...ttuuxxx, or anyone else, would need more specifics. i.e. which particular library files, and what particular error messages?

Syrian army pledges 4-day truce amid rebel gains
BEIRUT -- The Syrian army promised to observe a four-day cease-fire for a Muslim holiday starting Friday, while rebels claimed to have taken control of new areas in the key battleground of Aleppo.
In the announcement read Thursday on state TV, the army granted itself significant loopholes, saying it will respond to rebel attacks or efforts to bolster their positions as well as the entry of fighters into Syria from neighboring countries.
The call for a four-day cease-fire for the Eid al-Adha holiday is currently the international community's only idea on how to try to stop 19 months of violence in Syria. International envoy Lakhdar Brahimi proposed the idea, saying he hopes it will lead to a longer term cease-fire and negotiations between the sides. Brahimi represents the U.N. and the Arab League.
Rebels fighting to topple the regime of President Bashar Assad have no unified command, and rebel reaction to the idea ranged from skepticism that the government would keep its promises to outright refusal.
Abdelbaset Sieda, head of the main opposition group in exile, the Syrian National Council, said he had little faith the regime would hold its fire, but that rebels would respond accordingly.
"We are awaiting the regime side. If they accept it, we will accept it also," he said by phone.
Rebel commanders inside Syria have said in recent days that they did not plan to stop fighting.
The cease-fire pledge came amid rebel claims of major advances in Syria's largest city on Thursday, with the rebels claiming to have seized area long controlled by the regime.
The two sides have been stalemated for months in the fight for Aleppo.
Activists in Aleppo reported heavy clashes citywide on Thursday, particularly around a military airport.
Bassam al-Dada, a rebel spokesman, said in a phone interview that anti-regime fighters have taken several areas that have seen months of clashes, including the southwestern neighborhoods of Salaheddin and Suleiman a-Halabi.
Rebels also moved into the northern Kurdish neighborhood of Ashrafiyeh for the first time and were fighting in the areas of Arqoub, Siryan, Zahra and Firqan, al-Dada said.
He said rebels now control more than half of the city and were fighting for control of Aleppo's strategic military base of Nairab.
The Syrian government made no immediate comment on the Aleppo fighting, and rebel forces have often pushed into new areas in the past, only to swiftly withdraw when faced with Assad's air power.
It was unclear if the rebels have the forces to hold the new areas.
An Aleppo activist reached via Skype also said rebels had seized Ashrafiyeh, a Kurdish neighborhood where residents of other city neighborhoods had sought refuge from the fighting.
The activist, who goes by the name of Abu Raed because of security concerns, said the rebels are moving into the neighboring Al-Siryan Al-Jadideh, a Christian area.
"It was a surprise," Abu Raed said on Skype. "It was fast progress and in an unexpected direction."
Abu Raed said he had no information on people killed or wounded in the fighting, but the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 9 people were killed and 15 wounded when mortars fell on Ashrafiyeh. It said it was unclear who fired them.
Activist also reported heavy shelling and clashes in various rebel districts outside of Damascus, the capital.
Also on Thursday, the deputy head of the United Nations, Jan Eliasson, warned that there are no guarantees that a proposed Syrian cease-fire would hold but urged Syrian rebels and the regime in Damascus to observe it.
"We all have our eyes on the tragedy in Syria, and we pin our hopes now on the cease-fire that hopefully can take place," he told reporters in Geneva.
Previous cease-fire missions have failed, in part because neither Assad nor rebels trying to topple him had an incentive to end their bloody war of attrition. Both sides believe they can still make gains on the battlefield even as they are locked in a stalemate, and neither has faith in negotiations on a political transition.
Al-Dada said the regime could not be trusted.
"Our people have no truce. They have been subjected to massacres," he said.
Associated Press writers Barbara Surk, Bassem Mroue and Karin Laub in Beirut and John Heilprin in Geneva contributed to this report.

The Patriots tight end didn't have the best game yesterday, reeling in just four catches for 35 yards. But the picture above suggests that Gronk had himself a time earlier in the weekend.
Sure, those could just be scratches sustained at some point during the game, in a hand-to-hand battle for position, maybe. This is Gronk we're talking about, though. If anyone's going to get caught at a football game with two massive hickeys above his collar line, he's the guy. Not that Gronk would have been wearing a collar. The Summer of Gronk will never die.

The iron (Fe) deposit was studied in the liver tissue of healthy and chronic liver disease subjects, all of them adults aged 46 to 70. The iron quantification was made by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS). Biopsy liver samples were weighed, measured, and put under acid digestion. Simultaneously a test was performed to analyze recovery in both strong samples and bound reagents with the addition of a standard of iron. Quantification was carried out using a calibration curve (from 10 to 50 mg/L): Peak areas of 248.3 nm were measured through a hollow cathode lamp. The results of the samples for healthy individuals were less than 1,000 µg/g of dry tissue, while the range in subjects with chronic liver disease was higher, (range from 800 to 7,835 µg/g dry tissue). There is a direct relationship between concentrations of iron in liver tissue and the range of the metal deposit for which reason development of the ET AAS methodology made it possible to quantify the iron overload and estimate the values associated to the different hepatopathies.

The book "Someone Else's Yesterday" is an amazing journey, an adventure through the eyes of two people, one a Georgian, the other a Connecticut Yankee. Similarities between the two go far beyond coincidence. They think alike, look alike and even share facial scars. Their lives are so intertwined that they appear to be one. Half of this equation, Jeffrey J. Keene, is a present day Assistant Fire Chief in affluent Westport CT. The other half, John B. Gordon, Confederate general, Army of Northern Virginia, died January 9 1904. Jeff had never given reincarnation much thought, nor had he ever seen a psychic, but both these elements came together one Halloween night. That one night was to change his outlook on life and his way of thinking forever. As the puzzle pieces came together the picture created reinforced a strong case for reincarnation.
Jeff shares his insights into the workings of reincarnation along with a personal encounter with the nightmare of September 11, 2001. Experience a city in mourning during the aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Center. Travel from a touching eulogy delivered by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani at New York's beautiful St. Patrick's Cathedral to the smoldering ruins at Ground Zero. Share the struggles of the past and the hopes for tomorrow. The book weaves a tapestry of mystery and history, of love and the horrors of war. To the author the journey has been a wondrous one, sometimes funny but at other times sad and physically painful. Jeffrey Keene has no choice but to believe in reincarnation; he lived this remarkable story and every word is true.
"I regard Jeff Keene's reincarnation case as having extreme significance for the field of parapsychology. The various features--waking adult memories, birthmarks correlating with old battle wounds, and soul-group connections--all suggest to me new possibilities for validating the reincarnation hypothesis and for conducting further research. This book is a milestone." Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D., host of "Thinking Allowed," national public television series, President of Intuition Network, author of The PK Man
"Anyone who doubts life after death, or reincarnation, should read this book. I highly recommend it." Uri Geller, world famous psychic, author of Life Signs, www.UriGeller.com
"Read Jeff Keene's compelling reincarnation case history and learn how one of America's greatest battlefield heroes, Confederate General John B. Gordon, has returned to life as a warrior for peace." Walter Semkiw, M.D. M.P.H., author of Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited
"Never before have I run across such concrete evidence of reincarnation. Great book, the pictures are indeed haunting...the resemblance...very uncanny." Laura M. Wandrie, New Age Journal
"Jeff Keene's story is a must for buffs of the supernatural and Civil War historians alike." William P. Gabbard, President of Hamilton Civil War Round Table, Hamilton, Ohio

Technical diver and commercial dive supervisor Andy Torbet began exploring the ocean when he was 12 and has been at it ever since. He's explored sunken cities, elaborate cave systems, deep wrecks and reefs. We caught up with Andy just before he left for an expedition and asked what divers should do to stay dive-ready in the off-season. Here are his 7 off-season tips.
Don't have an off-season
My personal recommendation for the off-season is not to have one. Even if you dive only very occasionally, and the dives are shallower and shorter than normal or even in a pool, it will help. They will keep those essential skills from fading and make sure your kit is working and familiar. Most diving incidents and accidents happen every year in spring when people come back to diving after taking the winter off. Just a quick dive a few times over the winter will help you stay on top of your game.

"Most diving accidents happen in spring when people come back to diving after taking the winter off."
Diving's not physical, but it's also physical
Diving is not primarily a physical performance sport but it is still physical. Recent medical investigations supported by incident reports have shown that your body is put under pressure even on simple dives and the more physically robust we can make ourselves the safer we are.
Why fitness matters
Ask yourself this: if two divers had identical diving skills, experience and attitude would you rather dive with the fit one or the out of shape one? Which diver do you think would have the greater chance of having a problem and which would you rather count on? Being physically fit can help in nearly all situations and is particularly important in some situations, from finning against a strong current, towing a casualty on the surface or just hauling oneself out of the water in a less than ideal condition.
"Being physically fit can help in nearly all situations."

Take care of your body
It's worth keeping a basic level of activity going in the off-season to keep you healthy for the new season. I know a lot of divers who go hill walking in winter just to keep their bodies active. But it's also a time to look at doing some work on those problem areas you've been putting off (because you were too busy diving). Perhaps it's a sore shoulder or a weak knee. Make sure you start the new season in the best shape possible. That way you can dive more, enjoy it more and be capable of more.
Core strength is key
Diving kit is heavy so spend some time working on your strength, and especially core strength. I've seen a number of dives cut short because someone injured their lower back getting kitted up. You can spend the spare time in the off-season getting into the habit so when you start diving again these exercises have become part of your routine.

Maintain and take stock
I don't have an off-season, but the winter is less busy so I use that period to service equipment, look at what needs replacing or go over the last year and see what I could can change or improve for next year. It's an opportunity to take stock and look to improve.
Stay inspired
Keep yourself inspired. The off-season is also a good time to start planning projects or booking those courses you want to get done. Get the paperwork side of things done when the weather is bad to make full use of your time when it's time to start diving.

In my humble opinion, there's nothing funnier than watching Nicholas Cage chew scenery in a fantasy picture, which may explain why I'm happy that the viral website for "Season of the Witch" is finally online. I'll gladly watch you swing swords, Mr. Cage, but I'm still waiting for an apology for "Ghost Rider".
If you're one of the lucky individuals heading to Austin, Texas for the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival this March, you might want to check out the horror titles currently scheduled to play this year. "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" will be there, and I'm insanely jealous.
Hey! Do you remember last week when I filled your delicious mind with information regarding a little film called "After.Life"? Well, in case you were wondering, Anchor Bay has scheduled the film for release this Spring. I'm excited, so I know you're excited. Besides, it's hard not to like a film that features both Liam Neeson and Christina Ricci. Isn't it?
Somebody told me yesterday that I should watch the new trailer for Philip Ridley's demonic horror picture "Heartless", and I must say I wasn't disappointed. Plus, it's got demons, as well as a guy who can see demons. Amazing! What will they think of next?

Police Seize Witnesses' Cell Phones After Beating a 'Possibly Intoxicated' Man to Death
Police Follow Up Beating A 'Possibly Intoxicated' Man To Death By Seizing Witnesses' Cell PhonesMay 13, 2013
Tech Dirt - How many law enforcement officers does it take to subdue one intoxicated man? In Bakersfield, CA, it takes nine: seven sheriff's deputies, two CHP officers and a police dog. It also appears that being publicly intoxicated and resisting arrest in Bakersfield is punishable by immediate death in the same county.
At this point, consider everything regarding the beating to be "alleged." After all, we don't have any conclusive evidence of what happened, despite two people filming it (and a handful of eyewitnesses) because law enforcement made sure every recording of the event (except one -- more on that in a bit) was seized as "evidence."
Also, keep in mind that David Silva, the thirty-three year old father of four who was allegedly beaten to death by nine law enforcement officers, was only allegedly intoxicated and violent. Evidence of his crime(s) disappeared along with the footage of multiple cops swinging batons. (I suppose this will be verified when the autopsy results are made public, presumably featuring a full toxicology report.)
Here's an eyewitness account of the beating:
At about midnight, Ruben Ceballos, 19,was awakened by screams and loud banging noises outside his home. He said he ran to the left side of his house to find out who was causing the ruckus.The phones used to record the incident were seized by law enforcement as "evidence." As it's highly doubtful the sheriff's department is looking into charging a dead man with a crime, the only "investigation" possible would be a look into the actions of the officers at the scene. This also means the only criminal activity captured on film would be the officers'. Turning over the only copy of evidence to the perpetrators is generally considered to be a terrible idea. But when you've just witnessed nine law enforcement officers beat a man into unconsciousness (and eventual death), your normal citizen is probably going to think twice before telling another officer, "No."
"When I got outside I saw two officers beating a man with batons and they were hitting his head so every time they would swing, I could hear the blows to his head," Ceballos said.
Silva was on the ground screaming for help, but officers continued to beat him, Ceballos said.
After several minutes, Ceballos said, Silva stopped screaming and was no longer responsive.
But the witnesses held out as long as they could. The incident happened around midnight. The two witnesses who had recorded the event (a male whose name hasn't been released and Maria Melendez) were called back to their apartment by the sheriff's department. This was at 3 AM. At that point, the officers demanded they turn over their cell phones. They refused to do so without being served a warrant. The officers then detained them in the apartment, telling them they couldn't leave without turning over their phones.
Three hours later, the male turned over his phone, stating he needed to be to work in a couple of hours. The officers detained Melendez for nearly nine hours. The search warrant finally arrived around noon and Melendez relinquished her phone. The two witnesses were told they could pick up their phones the next day. When the unnamed male went to recover his, he found the timeframe had now changed to "months, even years" before he could get his phone back.
Two bits of evidence have made their way into the public, unimpeded by sheriff's deputies with endless amounts of time to waste and rights to violate. The first is a 911 call reporting the beating made by Salinas Quair, Melendez's daughter. This call alerted law enforcement to the fact that the (alleged) beating had been recorded, triggering the intimidating roundup (and detainment) of these witnesses.
There's a man laying on the floor and your police officers beat the [explicit] out of him and killed him," said the woman. "I have it all on video camera."The second piece of evidence, a security camera recording, was turned over by an individual who (unsurprisingly) has refused to go on camera or reveal his or her name.
The woman continued:
"I am sitting here on the corner of Flower and Palm right now and you have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight Sheriffs. The guy was laying on the floor and eight Sheriff's ran up and started beating him up with sticks. The man is dead laying right here, right now."
Here's KERO TV's (Bakersfield) description of the recordings' contents.
The grainy black and white video appears to show the alleged victim, David Silva, 33, lying on the ground. Another person is then seen walking up to Silva and attempting to pick him up. Both men appear to scuffle, and after a few minutes, Silva is seen being struck with an object.If you click through and watch the footage, at about 4:05 an officer can be seen taking a two-handed swing with a baton. Shortly thereafter, more officers arrive. One of the first to arrive also takes a two-handed swing with a baton. In all, nine baton-swinging officers showed up. A spokesman for the Kern County Sheriff's Office reassures everyone that the officers felt no need to deploy any of their other weaponry, as well as undercounting the number of respondents.
Other cars are seen arriving at the scene with lights flashing on top of them. Several other men are then seen in the video, also striking Silva more than a dozen times with objects. Silva is then seen being taken into custody.
KCSO Spokesperson Ray Pruitt told 23 ABC it took 5 deputies, 2 CHP officers and a K-9 to subdue Silva.His count is off.
Pruitt said officers were forced to use their batons to arrest Silva but no tazers, pepper spray or guns were used during the altercation.
Here are the names of the Sheriff's Department personnel involved in the incident, as released by the Sheriff's Office.
The office did identify the officers involved in the arrest as Sgt. Douglas Sword and deputies Ryan Greer, Tanner Miller, Jeffrey Kelly, Luis Almanza, Brian Brock and David Stephens.That's seven from the sheriff's department. The names of the two CHP officers have not been released. That's nine altogether, plus a police dog.
One has to wonder, though, how the officers were "forced" to use their batons. Perhaps some force was needed to subdue Silva, but with nine officers responding (and swinging), you'd think the tide would have turned in law enforcement's favor long before Silva lost consciousness. And how much "resistance" did Silva actually offer, considering the first officer on the scene was responding to a call from Kern Medical Center security who reported Silva as "passed out?"
End result: a man loses his life for being intoxicated. Nine officers
Not content to limit its wrongdoing to a beating, deputies then barge into a home without a warrant and detain two citizens against their will, one of them for nearly nine hours, until the warrant they should have needed just to get in the door at 3 AM finally shows up at noon.
Now, all of the inarguable evidence is in the hands of the same people who would prefer it just went away. It will be tough for them to get away with simply deleting the recordings, but stranger things have happened to evidence that implicates law enforcement officers but has ended up in the possession of law enforcement. The recording can be termed "unrecoverable" or have inexplicably large gaps in the footage. Or the phone may be damaged during "processing." Sometimes, the evidence just vanishes conveniently and a lengthy internal investigation will unwind at a glacial pace until everyone loses interest.
There's a law enforcement problem here, and the problem is with the brand of "enforcement" that bypasses the law entirely. David Silva's death at the hands of police officers conjures up images of similar methods being deployed to subdue a schizophrenic homeless man in nearby Fullerton, CA. Kelly Thomas was beaten by several officers, resulting in a death by "mechanical suppression of the thorax." This one was caught on tape (via security camera), as well as captured more intimately by a microphone worn by one of the officers.
The people who witnessed this beating have nowhere to go. They can't trust the police and they've seen those who recorded the event quarantined in their home until they complied with the officers' requests to turn over their phones. If not for the constitutional violations committed by "law enforcement," the footage would already be publicly displayed. The longer the Sheriff's office delays in releasing this footage, the worse it appears. If this went down as described, there's no way law enforcement can hope to salvage some respect by attempting to downplay or justify the actions of these officers.
Even if Silva was putting up the fight of his life, he was intoxicated and was outnumbered 9-to-1. Any reasonable person would expect a suspect to be subdued before it got to the point where it became life-threatening. But any hopes of a reasonable outcome were discarded the moment that first two-handed swing connected.

Hi Everyone!
As you may be aware, our original program scheduled for May 11, 2010 was to be a topic on "20th Century Military Records" to have been presented by Marian Schuetz. Due to a personal emergency, Marian was unable to present the program. I apologize for this unanticipated change. I will see what scheduling I can do in the future to have a program on military records.
This blog served a great purpose in allowing me to get the changed program information out to all of you. Many of those who came to the program knew that the original program had been changed and were therefore not surprised. For some, it was still a surprise! But hopefully, a pleasant surprise with a different topic.
Knowing that Marian would not be able to present her program, I quickly nominated myself to present a substitute program. Because of the season we are entering and because I have just done some of this research in the Fall of 2009, I chose to present a somewhat "ad lib" dual program on "Tools to Take for Cemetery Research" and "Contributing Cemetery Information to the FindAGrave Website".
We had 55 people in attendance for this quickly put together substitute set of topics. In part one of the presentation I shared with the those in attendance the "things" they should consider bringing with them when embarking on doing on-site cemetery research. This is my "personal" list. Each of us may ultimately create our own "list" of items to bring with but I wanted to share what things I not only brought the last time but what additional items I may bring the next time I do on-site cemetery research. Take it from me, there is no worse feeling than to be in a cemetery doing research only to discover that you never thought of bringing "this" or "that" when you were on-site. In an urban cemetery setting or one close to home, this may not be such a problem. But if you are in a truly "rural" cemetery setting, in which you may be a long way from any convenience items, then pre-planning in advance on what you will bring with is even more important.
I would encourage those that read this blog to leave any comments on items they may bring to do cemetery research that may not be on my own list.
Here is my list of "must have" items to have at the cemetery:
- Hat (Baseball or Wide-Brimmed)
- Comfortable Walking Shoes
- Waterproof Boots (especially if you are going early in the morning)
- Long Sleeved Light Shirt (sun protection)
- Long Pants (sun protection and working on the ground)
- Rain Poncho or Waterproof Jacket with Hood
- Sunglasses
- Camera/Video Camera
- Fresh Batteries for cameras
- Instruction books for cameras
- Walkie-Talkies (if two of you are going, or even more)
- Instruction books for walkie-talkies, especially if you may want to change channels.
- Medications (personal)
- Small First Aid Kit (Blisters, Cuts, Abrasions, Pain Relief)
- Sunscreen
- Insect Repellant
- Drinking Water (plenty, with ice)
- Energy bars
- Sandwich
- Cooler with ice
- Maps provided by cemetery office with graves marked
- Large orange safety cone for marking the grave when found so you see it easily when returning back from the car.
- Tall orange flagged ground stakes, also for marking graves so you see them easier when you return from the car.
- GPS if you may already have GPS coordinates for gravesite.
- Cemetery workers – they know their way around. Don't be afraid to ask them!
- Use cemetery provided section marker guides to help you know you are in the right area of a section. Expect that these will not be readily seen and may be below ground.
- Waterproof tarp (8 feet by 8 feet) to spread out or fold up and kneel on.
- Knee Pads
- Pressurized 2 gallon water container with spraying wand (like you use for pesticides)
- Long handled floor cleaner with sponge mop head for wiping the headstone after spraying it. The long handle eliminates your bending down plus gives you scrubbing leverage.
- Sharpened wooden sticks to use as tools to remove dirt embedded in chiseled letters on headstone.
- Mirror to reflect off of worn chiseled in headstone inscriptions thus giving you a better chance to determine what is actually inscribed.
- Sod cutter
- Hand grass shears
- Whisk broom
Remember, the above items ar those that I have brought to the cemetery. It is good to have them in your car, but you may find you will not necessarily bring them all with you to the actual discovered gravesite.
I also use a "laundry cart" that I purchased from Target for about $30 to put any of the above materials into that I will pull behind me to bring to the gravesite. This is a fairly large, steel wire basket fold-up cart that has 2 large rear wheels and 2 smaller front wheels. You will need to put some kind of cardboard on the bottom so that long-handled thin items such as a sod cutter will stand up in the cart without falling through the large wire openings of the basket design.
I definitely encourage anyone to leave comments on this posting on things they bring to the cemetery for their own research that may not be on my own list. I am always open myself for anything new to bring with to make your research experience more pleasant, enjoyable, safe and productive!!
My own experience also taught me to consider the following actions when you are going to the cemetery:
- On a good day with a lot of luck, give yourself at least 20 to 30 minutes per grave site you want to find, clean up and photograph.
- Ask at the office before you go out looking for a site whether they have records of a headstone being placed. They may tell you the site you seek is contained within another family site. You may still see no identification of the gravesite if the person's name was not chiseled into any existing monument. They are there but they are not identified!!
- Think about going twice if the weather will be extremely hot or will be dangerously unstable with storms!
- Mid-October and later may not be good because of leaves. Trust me, there are a lot of leaves on the ground at this time in many cemeteries with mature trees!!
- Consider uploading your findings and any pictures you have taken to FindAGrave! They seem to be a great organization. Many researchers visit this site often looking for names.
For the second part of my presentation I showed those in attendance all that is FindAGrave. It is a wonderful site that you can visit and join yourself at www.findagrave.com.
I want to refer all of you to the posting I did on this blog on March 27, 2010 regarding FindAGrave and my choice to actually become a contributing member of the site. This posting will provide you with what I presented at our program.
I chose to participate in order to upload photos of the headstones or monuments of my ancestors. But understand, if you know the cemetery location of a deceased ancestor, you too can choose to participate with this site and upload your birth, death information for your deceased ancestors without uploading any pictures. Your research would then be out there to possibly receive contact information from other researchers making a connection to a mutually shared ancestor. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UPLOAD PICTURES!
So for those of us that have a great amount of lineage data in our lineage based programs, you can upload that material to this site. To make your participation more productive, you should only consider uploading material for which you know of the cemetery burial location. Just having birth and death date information without knowing the cemetery location of the deceased is somewhat counterintuitive to upload to "FindAGrave"!
We ended our program by 9:30 PM. I guess I must have done OK in presenting this material because I am still alive and writing this summary for all of you to enjoy!!
I thank all of you who told me that I had done a good job, maybe good enough to consider that I present more programs in the future! I do have some ideas in mind for more things I would like to personally share. So keep looking at our future schedule of programs to see if my name makes it to the list.
It appears all 55 participants had a good time and it sounds like all of you walked away with a little more information as well as maybe being inspired to visit the cemeteries of your ancestors and pay them homage. There is a touching moment you will experience when you stand above a gravesite that until then was just an entry in a lineage data base. You may be the first visitor in a hundred years! It is true that you may say a few words to this ancestor that is below your feet that may have been there for hundreds of years. If it is a direct ancestor connection, then you can thank them for your being on planet earth!

Turn a visit to Mount Baker into a weekend getaway at the Mountaineers' Mount Baker lodge.
If you've never seen Mount Baker in the summer, here's your chance. Most of the trails melt out by mid-August. Even inexperienced hikers will have plenty of chances to explore the trails. And by staying at the lodge, you'll have more time to explore.
The lodge is just 3 miles from Artist Point, accessible by car. The point offers stunning panoramic views of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. During summer, the wildflowers are prolific, and in early fall, there are plenty of blueberries ripe for the picking.
The lodge is dormitory-style lodging. You'll need to bring your own bedding. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday and dinner on Saturday are provided. Guests are expected to help with meal preparation or chores.
The lodge is open to the public. Most weekends are available, and a few weekdays. For adult nonmembers, the fee is $86 for the whole weekend, $56 for nonmembers 14 and younger. Mountaineers members get a discount on the fee. Check http://bit.ly/12v4UnP for a full schedule and cost scale.

Welcome to the website of SGF. Please explore this site and learn about the airport.
Figuring out how to "get a job" at the airport is complicated. That's because there isn't any one organization that does business here — there are airlines. Rental car agencies. Restaurants. Gift shops. National Guard ... the list goes on and on. Each company has its own hiring policies and procedures.
The infomation on this page focuses on the larger organizations that operate at the airport beginning with the City of Springfield.
The city owns and operates the airport. "Airport" is defined as the land, buildings, runways, and other infrastructure. The city is, in essence, a land lord — it operates the airport infrastructure and leases space to other businesses. Airport job openings with the city are listed below. Contact information for other companies is listed in the gray box.

I know the horse part is wrong in a lot of places but I have to learn the anatomy of horses. I would want your thought about the style though: is it effective? Is it 'new'? is it boring? And all the other random thoughts you could have about that, and about fantasy style concept drawings. ------------------ http://www.jmringuet.com Back to top arniemgmemberMember #Joined: 25 Dec 2000Posts: 107Location: Pensacola, FL, USA Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2001 5:25 pm that is really good. how did you do it?

You'll have to state what it is your trying to achieve first before we can answer any of your questions. I think you can push the values further. The hair on his head and the tail looks weird cause its so graphic in comparison to the fur on the body of the horse (they don't seem to go together well). The copyright message is too close to the Centaur's leg creating a tangent and tension (could go smaller as well). Are these the types of comments you were looking for?

That's funny because I've always thought of Centaurs being heavy horses/men, very strong and very 'barbarian type'. Your idea is quite interesting. As I'm trying to do pure commercial concept work it's very good to get a feedback on how people respond to something. Back to top MozemanmemberMember #Joined: 07 May 2000Posts: 217 Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2001 11:03 am Hey black_fish I really like your drawing. There are some issues with the anatomy, in particular the arms and legs, but it's a nice pose and I think it portrays the strength and power that you are going for. ------------------ Mozeman Moser Brothers Animation Forum Back to top JezebelmemberMember #Joined: 02 Nov 2000Posts: 1940Location: Mesquite, TX, US Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2001 11:05 am I always pictured centaurs as being strong and muscular. Mainly because that's sort of how a horse is to begin with. But I would think that just as with humans, centaurs can come in all shapes and sizes. Your centaur has a lot of soldier-like qualities, I really like that. One thing that I think is a little weird though is that the man half is so small in comparison to the horse half. Horses are quite a bit larger than men Looks good, post more of your work! -Beth ------------------ Take off your clothes. It's OK - I'm an artist. [url=http://div.dyndns.org/FOO!]http://div.dyndns.org/FOO![/url] http://div.dyndns.org/beth/photography Back to top black_fishmemberMember #Joined: 31 Jul 2000Posts: 333Location: Los Angeles, California Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2001 3:52 pm About the anatomy problems: I think what make the horse legs bad is in part due to my shading which is quite wrong. The shape isn't that good but the shading makes it worse. For the arms: I screwed up the elbow area I think (going to fast) and I overexagerated the tendons in the forearms (but that's Bisley's fault ). Other than that it seems allright. Am I wrong? Is there something else? Please correct me about the anatomy of the horse or of the guy if you can. Your help is appreciated. (I know this drawing is done, but I want to make the next one better ) Back to top SemperememberMember #Joined: 20 Oct 2000Posts: 206Location: Spain Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2001 4:40 pm I agree with Jezebel. It´s more a centaur from a "pony" than from a horse. This detail is for me a lot more important that the way the hair looks. Your character would have more strenght if you make he seems bigger... he´s the same height than an average human. And the body of your horse is too condensed, almost caricature like. It should be wider and longer if you want an aggresive character... And talking about the horse body it´s obvious that we have a great mistake at the back-right leg. Not talking about anatomy, if not about volume. It fails as siluete. Another things that personally don´t like is the too angular anatomy, specially in the arms. Lines don´t flow. Lines collide. It feels too mechanic, unnatural. I like more rounded and soft surfaces. But this is a personal taste. I like a lot the way you finished the work, but you were a bit "rough" with the copyright thing !!! Hope have help you a bit. Do you have more conceptwork aroud here ? I will be happy seeing it ! See ya! Back to top ToasT 01memberMember #Joined: 03 Jan 2001Posts: 74Location: Johannesburg - South Africa Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2001 10:35 pm The style is definatley not new but its a cool character des. none the less, its kinda an orc torso with a horse mixed in for good measure - like you cant see that ( doh ) but the only bad thing esp. as far as character design goes is that you havent created the same look at the top ( big, muscular tattoos etc... )on the botom i think this is more the reason you think the horse part doesnt work its not really drawn badly its just missplaced - even im confused now ( good work id like to see more ) Back to top RinaldomemberMember #Joined: 09 Jun 2000Posts: 1367Location: Adelaide, Australia Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2001 10:45 pm Nice drawing! I always pictures them as slightly more elegant and refined. but still fairly muscular. not bulky tho. solid muscle but not a lot of it. (not a lot in comparason the ammount you're putting in). problems have already been mentiond that I agree with. the horse half should be bigger IMHO. It would have been interesting to see if you could figure out a way to join between the horse and torso in terms of muscles but putting armour bit in there is a nice comprimise. what Sempere said about the anatomy being too angular in places. you might be doing it on purpose but it lacks some solidarity in places IMHO. places like the wrists especialy don't apeal to me. the connection between the foreare and upper arm muscles look a bit wrong as well. hehe, but it is quite bisley. more a personal thing I suppose mmmmmm....more please Back to top black_fishmemberMember #Joined: 31 Jul 2000Posts: 333Location: Los Angeles, California Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2001 10:50 am Thanks for your comments guys and I mostly agree with what you said. Now I can see what's not working Hmmm I should have made the horse body bigger that's true. I guess I just drew this guy like a normal guy who happens to have the lower part of a horse, not like a horse who has the torso of a man, if you see what I mean. I also agree on the angularity thing: I like angular shapes, even for muscles, and it's totally a matter of taste. But it's true that I could have made it better in the arm area. It doesn't really wirk overall. For the right back leg: I don't think there is a huge mmistake there since I used a reference photo but there is a mistake in the shape and the muscles there because I don't really understand the horse anatomy. But there's definitely a mistake. Anyway this is a fairly quick drawing, about 3-4 hours from start to finish, and it's suppose to be 'commercial' so not very original but very 'in your face'. That explains some of the flaws. Thanks again for your useful comments. Semepere: the copyright thing is big because I posted that on my website. I don't know if it's really a 'repellant' for rippers, but... And head up to my website if you want to see more: ------------------ http://www.jmringuet.com Back to top beekay-memberMember #Joined: 24 Jan 2000Posts: 64Location: california Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2001 11:43 am wow, i really like this piece... the linework is very clean and nice... what type of paper did you use? bk Back to top black_fishmemberMember #Joined: 31 Jul 2000Posts: 333Location: Los Angeles, California Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2001 2:23 pm The paper is: Brand: Fox River Name: Confetti Color: Tan You can find it at http://www.kellypaper.com/ Back to top u2artmemberMember #Joined: 17 Nov 2000Posts: 133Location: FL, USA Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2001 3:07 pm Hi, alot of great things have already been said...If I repeat, just ignore it... The anatomy in the forearm isnt so much as wrong, as it is flat and has no volume, straight lines read as flat, unless you use the correct line weight in the right areas. Theh anatomy is off in the forearm, but doing that could have fooled most people. You can cheese anatomy as most people do, by giving volume and conviction in your anatomy. The shoulder nearest the viewer is slightly wierd too, again it's flat...That graphic on his arm should really follow the form, and not be flat, it destroys all feeling of form in the shoulder. As for reference, I would never say "it cant be wrong because I used reference", not that you did, but too many people use that as an excuse...it is the persons fault if they chose crappy reference, or dont know enough about an object to draw it from reference. It looks really graphic though...really commercial, line weight is nicely varied though, and I like that you drew and painted and used markers, if you went into it digitally, it could only get better with a nice drawing to start from. Hope to see more Art Back to top black_fishmemberMember #Joined: 31 Jul 2000Posts: 333Location: Los Angeles, California Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2001 4:08 pm Thanks for your comment Art, greatly appreciated, and you're right. I really have to find a method to work quickly and at the same time keep track of all the little problems you pointed out. It's true that my shading on the arm is weak... I don't know what happened but enough with this arm Just one thing: about the reference I meant that I followed what I had, namely a little picture, and I wasn't able to correct it because I'm not good at horse anatomy (or at human anatomy ). I could have looked for better reference but that's about the only book I have about horses, and I didn't want to delay my drawing the time to go buy a book or find something on the net (with my crappy 56k). I'm seriously trying to work fast, something I'm not used to, so I cut short on the reference Thanks again guys for the comments, they are a real eye opener - in a good way.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court declined Wednesday to put a temporary hold on a controversial provision in the new health care law requiring employers to provide health insurance coverage for contraceptives.
Two businesses challenging the act -- the nationwide chain of 500 Hobby Lobby Stores and Mardel, a chain of Christian bookstores -- contended that the law violates their religious freedom. Their legal battle is continuing over the merits of their claim. In the meantime, they asked the US Supreme Court to put a temporary hold on the law, which takes effect January 1, 2013.
On Wednesday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who handles emergency appeals from the courts where the companies are based, declined to grant an injunction.
In a brief written opinion, she said the Supreme Court has never addressed similar freedom-of-religion claims brought by for-profit corporations objecting to mandatory provisions of employment benefit laws.
"Lower courts have diverged on whether to grant temporary injunctive relief to similarly situated plaintiffs," she said, "and no court has issued a final decision granting permanent relief with respect to such claims."
If the two companies ultimately lose in the lower courts, the justice said, they can still appeal to the Supreme Court.
Lawyers for members of the family that owns the two businesses, based in Oklahoma, told the court that the law will expose them to "draconian fines unless they abandon their religious convictions."
While they do not object to the provision of insurance coverage for all contraceptives, they do object to coverage for "certain drugs and devices that they believe can cause abortions," their lawyers said.
Dozens of similar lawsuits over the contraceptive provision are working their way through the federal courts. The Obama administration has delayed enforcement of the requirement until August for qualified religious institutions, and some will be eligible for a permanent exemption.
But no such delays have been granted to businesses that object to the law's requirements on religious grounds.
