Boston Police provide safety tips for Marathon Monday
The following is a message from Boston Police Department Commissioner William Evans: Dear Students: On...
The University Board on Student Conduct is composed of 24 to 30 members of the Boston University community charged with hearing student appeals to judicial investigations. The Board is comprised of faculty appointed by the Provost, students selected by the Student Union, and members of the administrative staff of the University selected by the Vice President for Enrollment & Student Affairs.
A student who has been found guilty of a violation of the Code of Student Responsibilities by the Dean of Students may request a hearing before a panel of the University Board on Student Conduct. Such a request must be filed with the Dean of Students in writing not later than 10 days after notification by the Dean of Students of the findings of the Dean.
There shall be a University Board on Student Conduct composed of not fewer than 24 and not more than 30 persons. The membership of the Board will be as follows:
Temporary imbalances in the composition of the Board caused by the absence or withdrawal from the Board of any member(s) will not affect the validity of actions taken by a hearing panel of the Board.
Membership on the Board shall be for a term of two years except that the term for student members shall be one year. Individuals appointed to fill a vacancy on the Board shall serve for the duration of the term.
The Dean of Students will be responsible for the administrative functions of the Board. Each panel will consist of not fewer than three and not more than five members of the Board. At least one member of each panel will be a student and at least one member will be a member of the faculty. Each panel will sit for one month, but its term may be extended by the Dean of Students or the Dean of Students may create an additional panel or panels as may be necessary to assure the prompt adjudication of cases. The term of any panel will be deemed to be automatically extended to the completion of its work on any case it has commenced hearing. The Dean of Students will designate the chair of each panel.
If, during the summer or during any other period, sufficient members of the Board are not available to create a panel, the Vice President for Enrollment & Student Affairs, at the request of the Dean of Students, may designate individuals to serve as interim members of the Board for the purpose of serving on a panel.
A student who has been found guilty of a violation of the code by the Dean of Students may request a hearing before a panel of the University Board on Student Conduct. Such a request must be filed with the Dean of Students in writing not later than ten days after notification by the Dean of Students of the findings of the Dean. In his or her discretion, the Dean of Students may accept a late request for a hearing.
A student who requests a hearing will be notified in writing by the Dean of Students of the time and place of the Board hearing; he or she will be informed of the charge(s) against him or her with sufficient specificity to permit the preparation of a response to the charges(s). The Dean of Students will endeavor to commence a hearing before a panel within 30 days of the receipt of a request for a hearing by the student. (Additional time may be required for scheduling the hearing during the period from the end of classes in the spring semester to the commencement of classes in the fall semester or to requests made immediately prior to the winter intersession.)
Where related offenses are charged against more than one student, the Dean may assign a panel to hear the cases together. If the chair of the panel assigned to hear the case concludes that this may result in unfairness to one or more students, he or she may direct that separate hearings be held.
The chair of the panel will preside at the hearing and may make such rulings as he or she deems necessary for the orderly conduct of the hearing. The hearing will be closed to the public; the chair will, however, have discretion to admit parents, relatives, or friends of the student where, in the judgment of the chair, the presence of such persons will not jeopardize the decorum and orderliness of the hearing.
The rules of evidence and procedures applicable to courts of law will not be applicable at the hearing. The chair may make appropriate rulings to safeguard the integrity and fairness of the hearing. The hearing will be conducted with emphasis on common sense in attempting to ascertain the truth and reach a finding appropriate to the rights of the student and the University community. All witnesses before the panel will be expected to tell the truth. The hearing will be mechanically recorded and the student will have the right of access to a copy of the recording without cost, or to obtain a copy of the recording at his or her expense.
The Dean of Students will be responsible for the presentation of the charge(s). This may include the introduction of evidence and the calling of witnesses. The student may also introduce evidence and have witnesses testify on his or her behalf. Members of the panel may ask questions of any witness; they may request that additional witnesses or information be obtained, and the chair may grant a continuance of the hearing for such purposes. The members of the panel may take cognizance of facts or information within the knowledge of the University community or based on the records of the University. The chair may permit direct questioning of a witness by the student or the Dean of Students.
The chair may permit a witness to remain in the hearing room before or after giving testimony, and he or she may exclude any person from the hearing room to the extent necessary to ensure a fair and orderly hearing. The chair may limit or exclude the testimony of any individual to the extent that such testimony is repetitive of matters previously testified to or is not probative as to the guilt or innocence of the student. The student may be accompanied by an advisor of his or her choice; however, the advisor may not participate directly in the hearing. In the face of pending criminal charges arising from the same events, legal counsel for the student may be present to safeguard the rights of the student relating to the criminal charges but not to participate directly in the hearing.
After completion of the hearing, the panel will deliberate and will issue its decision within five days. The members of the panel will be the sole arbiters of the weight of the evidence, the demeanor and credibility of the witnesses, and the guilt or innocence of the student. Each finding of guilt must be concurred in by a majority of the panel. The specification or description of an offense may be modified by the panel to conform to the evidence, provided that the modification does not deprive the student of his or her right to respond to particular charges.
The Dean of Students will notify the student of the decision of the panel and, if the student has been found guilty, of the sanction or sanctions imposed by the Dean.
Except for good cause shown, the failure of a student to attend the hearing will be deemed a withdrawal of the request for a hearing. For special reasons out of the ordinary, the Dean of Students or the panel chair may grant a postponement of a scheduled hearing if a request for postponement, supported by good cause, is received twenty-four hours prior to the time of the hearing. Either may, for good cause shown, grant a new hearing or the reopening of a hearing. Except for applications made during a hearing, all such requests shall be filed with the Dean of Students.
If, in the judgment of the Dean of Students or the Vice President for Enrollment & Student Affairs, a student is prejudiced by the University's failure to do or complete a procedure required under this code, appropriate corrective measures may be directed by the Dean or the Vice President at any stage of the proceedings. Such procedural error will not invalidate the proceeding or disposition. The proceedings of a hearing panel will not be invalid by reason of a defective mechanical recording of the proceeding.
The Dean of Students is vested with the principal responsibility for the implementation and administration of the Code of Student Responsibilities. The Dean of Students may investigate and act on any allegation of violations under the code. He or she may refer any such matter to the school, college, or unit of the University he or she deems appropriate. A matter acted on by a school or college will be subject to the procedures and rules established by the dean and faculty of that school or college. The Dean of Students will refer any matter involving academic misconduct to the dean of the appropriate school or college. Actions of the individual schools and colleges are subject to review and final determination—including determination of the sanction—by the Provost.
Upon receipt of an allegation of misconduct or violation of the code, the Dean of Students will determine whether the matter is to be referred to a school, college, or other unit or resolved by his or her office. The fact that a matter has been referred to a school, college, or other unit of the University does not prevent the Dean of Students from imposing an interim sanction pending resolution of the matter by a school, college, or other unit.
The Dean of Students may make a formal determination of findings and impose such sanction or sanctions as he or she deems appropriate. He or she will inform the student of the student's right to have a hearing before a panel of the University Board on Student Conduct if the student wishes to contest the findings. He or she may agree with the student to a negotiated disposition of the matter that may include or may be in lieu of a formal disposition. The Dean of Students will endeavor to complete the investigation into a complaint within 45 days of the filing of the complaint.
In his or her discretion, the Dean of Students may impose conditions on one or more students pending resolution of, or in resolution of, a particular matter. Such conditions may include: not entering or being in or on particular buildings or areas of the University, avoiding contact with a specific person or persons, and such other conditions deemed appropriate. Unless issued as part of a disciplinary finding, such conditions are not disciplinary sanctions. A student who violates the terms of such conditions may be deemed guilty of a violation of the code and is subject to disciplinary sanction for such violation. Any act authorized by this code to be performed by the Dean of Students may also be done by an authorized designee of the Dean of Students.

Falstaff Motorcycle Jacket
- Product Review (submitted on February 11, 2012):
- I really like this jacket. I use it more for everyday use. Some advise- get it larger if you plan to use the pads that come with it. They are unusually bulky, I removed them and use the pads from my BMW jacket or a separate armor layer. I am glad I went with the reflective delete option, it makes it more versatile to wear. It is well constructed and versatile. It is easy to misplace items with so many pockets but they are a fun addition to a very adaptable garment.

How to hang wallpaper
Wallpaper adds a stunning finish to the walls of any room, whether it's a bold, colourful patterned wallpaper or a subtle, neutral wallpaper. With wallpaper comes the flexibility of wallpapering a whole room or an individual feature wall.
Our extensive range of wallpaper offers a variety of colours, patterns and textures. Choose from styles including floral, geometric, metallic, natural and vintage. Our buyer's guide helps you choose the perfect wallpaper for your room to create the look that you'll love.
Read our Buyer's guide to wallpaper
In this guide we'll walk you through how to:
- Measure and cut wallpaper to the correct lengths
- Apply adhesive to the wallpaper
- Hang the lengths to achieve a straight and smooth finish, on walls and around corners and stairwells
- Tackle awkward areas like radiators, windows, light switches, plug sockets and door frames
- Hang wallpaper to create a feature wall
For this project we'll be using paste the paper wallpaper, which needs to have adhesive applied to the back of it before hanging. The alternatives are paste the wall paper, which means that you apply the wallpaper adhesive to the wall instead of the paper, and self-adhesive wallpaper. For pasting the wall we recommend applying the adhesive with a roller.
Buying guides
Wallpapering tools buying guide
Wallpapering can sometimes be a more complex task than you might imagine, but having all the right tools will make it far simpler and the result much neater.
Types of tools
Paste brush
You can use any 100mm or 125mm paintbrush to apply paste, but a paste brush has a thicker wedge of soft bristles, which makes it easier to use.
Paper-hanging scissors
These scissors have extra-long blades that make it easier to cut your wallpaper in straight lines.
Wallpaper table (pasting table)
Higher than a kitchen table and just wider than a roll of wallpaper, this lightweight folding platform is perfect for measuring, cutting and pasting paper. W-leg tables are more stable than cheaper versions, but plastic ones are the sturdiest of all - as well as being the simplest to clean and store.
Plumb line/chalk line
Want to make sure you hang your wallpaper straight? Use a plumb line (a weight on the end of a string) to get a perfectly straight vertical line. And if you need to draw a straight edge on most surfaces, snap a chalk line.
Wallpaper scorer
When you soak wallpaper to prepare it for stripping, score the surface first with a rotary scorer as it helps the water to penetrate. Then just use a scraper to lift the paper off the wall.
Paper-hanging brush
The soft bristles on this brush are designed to smooth wallpaper by squeezing out any air bubbles and excess paste. Wash the bristles in warm water when you've finished to keep it fresh and usable.
Wallpaper steamer
Steaming is the fastest way to strip wallpaper. It makes good sense to buy a steamer when you have a lot of paper to strip, or need to do the job quickly.
Seam roller
Smooth the seams between lengths of wallpaper with this tiny roller - but make sure not to use it on embossed or fragile papers.
Combination smoother/cutter
After you've smoothed your wallpaper in place, simply cut around any obstructions with the retractable snap-off blade. But don't press too hard on fragile papers, or they might tear.

CloverETL is Java-based tool/framework for data integration and creation of data transformations. It is component based and follows the concept of transformation graphs which consist of individual nodes/components performing simple (or complex) operations on data. Any transformation can be defined as a set of interconnected nodes through which data flows. CloverETL can be used as a standalone application or be embedded into a larger project.
iLAP (Laboratory data management, Analysis, and Protocol development) is a workflow-driven information management system specifically designed to create and manage experimental protocols and to analyze and share laboratory data. The system combines experimental protocol development, wizard-based data acquisition, and high-throughput data analysis into a single, integrated system.
Cubes is a Python framework for online analytical processing (OLAP), multidimensional analysis, star and snowflake schema denormalization, and cube comptutation. It features a logical model that describes how data are being analyzed and reported, independent of physical data implementation, hierarchical dimensions (attributes that have hierarchical dependencies, such as category-subcategory or country-region), localizable metadata and data localization.
The CloverETL Profiler, software for data profiling, works to examine data in existing data sources and collect statistical information about said data. Through this process, the profiler eliminates the guesswork in analysis, revealing an understanding of what data actually exists and what needs to be improved. Part of the CloverETL Data Integration family, the Profiler is an added tool to the enhanced toolset. Whether employed as a standalone job or part of a greater project, the CloverETL Profiler, as named, operates with the same Engine as CloverETL, offering high performance, speed, and easy deployment in a data environment.
Kst is a fast real-time large-dataset viewing and plotting tool with built-in data analysis functionality. It contains many powerful built-in features and is expandable with plugins and extensions. It features powerful keyboard and mouse plot manipulation, a large selection of built-in plotting and data manipulation functions (such as histograms, equations, and power spectra), built-in filtering and curve fitting capabilities, a convenient command-line interface, a powerful graphical user interface with non-modal dialogs for an optimized workflow, support for several popular data formats, extended annotation objects similar to vector graphics applications, and high-quality export to bitmap or vector formats,
scikits.statsmodels is a Python package which provides a complement to scipy for statistical computations, including descriptive statistics and estimation of statistical models. The main included model categories are linear, discrete, generalized linear, and robust linear models, and, in time series analysis, AR, ARMA, and VAR. It also includes statistical tests mainly for regression diagnostics.

This looks like anatomy class with the Road to El Dorado guy's head stuck on every pose.
- murrayb said...
a smoking gun. I can't believe this sheet exists. They should make a mascot for the theme parks.
- herschism said...
I'm actually disappointed that they didn't go a 2D animated route for this movie. I liked all the concept art and the story boards for this much better than the plastic looking cgi, although I did like rapunzel's hair.
What's interesting about Flynn's character design is that they polled female disney employees on what features they found attractive and used those to construct the character. Too bad the attractiveness was almost all lost on the cgi imo. Also his character itself was bland and wasn't really believable.
- JohnK said...
>.and used those to construct the character.<<
to construct the same character they have been using for 20 years?
- Dubious Duck said...
Why would females find this attractive? Its a generic life drawing style and its not believable. This is why it is a wise decision that Disney is giving up fairy tales according to recent news stories. Maybe Disney can finally find themselves again if they experiment in more edgy films. I'd love to see Disney do Edgar Allen Poe or Stephen King.
- Dubious Duck said...
Steven he was trying to prove his point here.
"...it's kind of our medium. Or at least it was. Now it's more like a medium for gays, nerds and emos."
These model sheets create an interesting debate. Although this has been Disney's house style for their whole history even in the 1940's which is a decade that I know John K loves. Regardless the industry as of the past 10 to 15 years has oppressed any talent from reaching its fullest potential these days, which is what I think John is trying to get at.
- ardy said...
This makes Liberace look like a lumberjack.
(my profile pic is the same face I made when I saw this)
- JohnK said...
That is a very manly face indeed.
- kurtwil said...
Not sure who Murray is but the sheet here suggests stylized naturalistic posing one might see in ballet or certainly CALARTS drawing classes.
Trouble is, it's been cloned to boredom a zillion times by Disney, Bluth (saw TITAN AE for 1st time today and caught three variants of this model sheet in that 90's flick!).
Question: would audiences accept this type of design if animated in a cartoony manner (F4's Mr. Fantastic time, folks!)?
BTW, JK, out of all the flicks you've made over the years, which are you absolutely the most proud of, and might expand on should the opportunity arise?
- Lampshade said...
John, I'll be honest I see almost the same exact head shape as the pictures you posted in several webcomics and other pieces of art on the internet. It's more widespread than you think.
- Paul Penna said...
Just as a wild guess, JohnK's "proof" may have something to do with the last image. Google "Tom of Finland." You may wish to have the Safe Search filter activated.
- J C Roberts said...
That "battle" drawing is about as manly as an issue of "Honcho"
Looks like "Clash Of The TightPants"...
- Jules said...
John I've been reading your blog for ages now and you've been a fantastic source of artistic guidance, as well as creating work I enjoy you've also made me aware of many fantastic artists (Ed Benedict, Preston Blair, Art Lozzi) and appreciate and understand artists I was already a fan of (Frank Frazetta, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Kirby) so I sincerely thank you for that.
Which is why I get so frustrated about your dismissal of gay cartoonists? I'm gay myself and attempting to become an illustrator (Lord knows I still have miles to go before I'm even a quarter of the level of the people I admire). Being gay doesn't have any effect on my ability to draw.
- Esun said...
The last pic is one of the gayest drawings ive ever seen.
- Nicol3 said...
I think there's been a mix-up. These are obviously character studies for "Dumbo II: Big Pecs in the Big Top-- Half-naked Pretty-boy Acrobats Gone Wild".
My Pussy..cat.. and I approve.
- JohnK said...
Hi Jules.
I have absolutely nothing against gays or gay cartoonists - or gays in the military -and I'm all for gays getting married and having the same rights as everyone else. I am doing some work with a gay animator now and we don't offend each other.
I just made an observation that the whole viewpoint of cartooning has changed. Even straight cartoonists draw (and write) in what looks to me like a caricatured gay perspective.
It's a very general point and it's what I see everywhere. As if Broadway musicals took over cartoons.
Didn't Pixar just come out a couple weeks ago and admit it even? There are a couple other big studios who might follow.
I reserve my right to make general observations of the world, knowing that every generality has its exceptions.
I didn't say anything bad about gays or nerds or emos. But being a cartoonists is to be observant and sarcastic - at least it used to be.
- Nicol3 said...
@ Jules: Look a bit deeper. These stock, "hyper-hetero" character designs, (nippleless, big ol' pectorals, chunky thighs with a tight ass inbetween, big ass heads with even bigger ass eyes) are supposedly made to appeal to women. But they all almost mimic the likes of homo-erotic characters (like Tom of Finland) to a T.
- Moro Rogers said...
"What's interesting about Flynn's character design is that they polled female disney employees on what features they found attractive and used those to construct the character. Too bad the attractiveness was almost all lost on the cgi imo."
A unique look and personality are part of what makes someone attractive. (At least to me...There seem to be a lot of women and men who like blandness, too. But they are, y'know...mistaken.) Taking a bunch of hot guys and averaging them will not produce a hotter guy...It's like saying, "Oh, mashed potatoes are good, eel sushi is good too, and cupcakes are good. If we find a happy medium between 'em, it will be THE BEST DISH EVER!"
- SoleilSmile said...
I like Flynn and the drawings. Many tricky shoulder girdle challenges are resolved in these poses, but I can think of more positions I have trouble with.
- Carmine said...
Oh my, meeeeyow! HOT!
>to construct the same character they have been using for 20 years?<<
I have to disagree to an extent. As a gay male, I have had an interest in Disney princes growing up, the way many straight boys probably did w/ the princesses. And I think Flynn is way more whored out than any other prince/hero. He is almost presented like a "princess". Let me explain:
If you look at real life, traditionally any time a male dolls himself up, has fancy hair, is overly concerned about his appearance or cloths, he is labeled "gay", even if he isn't. I don't think it has much to do w/ actual sexual orientation, but with the fact that "dolling" yourself up and presenting your "beauty" to the world has traditionally been what females do. So when males do it, it can be seen as feminine, and many think that equals gay. The perfect example is "boy bands". What middle schooler doesn't think boy band members are "gay", even if they actually arent. Its because they are "pretty boys".
I have observed that pre-2000s, practically every Disney hero/prince has been kind of generic or much more under-sexualized than their female counterpart, except maybe Aladdin. I can remember always thinking they held back from making them as pretty as they could or should be, that they were careful to present them as non-threatening to the males watching. Look at the beast when he transforms, Tarzan's face, Prince Phillip, Phoebus,even Hercules. They all have what seems like a consciously toned down "prettiness". Handsome, sure, but pretty, not really. Aladdin is maybe the exception, and Prince Eric, but even he seems slightly generic.
Fast foward to the 2000s and things are changing. Straight men aren't as ashamed of being "pretty boys", hence the "metro-sexual" revolution. You get more "pretty" boy characters, like Jim Hawkins in "Treasure Planet". I think the rise of Anime also had something to do with it, since every male is presented as pretty. Add to that the fact that corporations seem to see this as a new market, and thus are exploiting men the way they've done w/ women for centuries, and you get where we are today. Traditionally for a male to be pretty it was feminine, ie, weak. Men in the old days had to be handsome and nothing more beyond that. Today, they are freakin pretty as hell. Is it gay? I don't know, maybe a straight female should answer that. I just know its a double edged sword: Who doesn't like the T&A, but objectification can be bad as well.
- Guy said...
I wonder if people will still be sitting around complaining in five more years.
- SoleilSmile said...
I'm a straight female and I like my guys pretty. I had to tone down my male lead in the eyes so more of my readers can relate to him, but I made every other guy in my comic just as drop dead gorgeous as the girls.
Yes, it is good practice to to conform for the sake of story. However, designing a dumpy or overly rugged guy a girl wouldn't look at or fear who gets the stunning girl at end of the story is where I draw the line.
Baseball caps, stick legs with scarab beetle bodies and slouching-- INDEED! That does NOT get the girl in my world!
- JohnK said...
Hi Ashanti
do you like them all to look exactly the same?
What if, in live action, there was only one male star and only one female - and they were both bland and struck 'tude poses all the time?
- C said...
What bugs me is that Disney seems to use the two kids from The Little Mermaid over and over and stick slightly different features on them. I wish they'd make more distinctive male leads, like Ichabod Crane. Distinctive female, too. If anything, girls get it worse. I like Aurora and Megara, but they don't look much different from the others.
- Pete Emslie said...
The fact that Flynn from "Tangled" is the end result of a team of females creating an amalgamation of their favourite male actors just makes me cringe in despair. It suggests that only the likes of Johnny Depp and that vampire dude from "Twilight" need apply.
Whatever happened to REAL men that used to make ladies' hearts go all aflutter? Ruggedly handsome guys like Gregory Peck, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, and John's fave, Kirk Douglas? (I'll also add my favourite, James Garner to that list). Frankly, I can't recall ever seeing an animated feature romantic hero that fits that mold - why is that? The only exception I can think of was not human, but animal: O'Malley from "The Aristocats", voiced by Phil Harris with a certain rough-around-the-edges Sinatra-esque roguish charm. But I can't think of any human equivalent.
By the way, Will Finn had some excellent thoughts on the "emasculation" of cartoons in a post he wrote regarding a rather mediocre and ill-conceived contemporary Flintstones image, all in pastel colours geared towards Mother's Day. Will says:
"However, THE FLINTSTONES (1960) was, initially at least, a marked alternative to the classic territory of contemporary cartoon rivals, such as (coincidentally) Disney's SLEEPING BEAUTY (1959), with it's typically rarified elegance, balletic motion, central female protagonist(s) (and antagonist!), and floral color scheme. As if to delineate their own separate territory, THE FLINTSTONES was deliberately primitive, blunt, broad and rough, visually as well as conceptually. In a word: masculine, like the sitcom it was largely inspired by. Which in turn was not devoid of a strong, sturdy feminine influence, but in both cases, masculinity was essentially a (the?) dominant theme."
I suspect John can well relate to that same sensibility as Will.
- C said...
Someone stop this guy! He keeps appearing!
- SoleilSmile said...
Mr. K, I don't see anyone here complaining about female characters looking the same---ESPECIALLY in the body.
I'm not griping as a feminist. You know I love to draw pretty girls and look at them too. However, I feel that some of the arguments are imbalanced. Especially in regards to male body types. Aside from your Doyle and a few other exceptions, when many men draw the handsome character, they totally forget that men can have full legs and a pelvis too. It took me years to figure how to draw men as well as my girls because I couldn't find the !&$# center of gravity which is essential to my line of action! You know how I found it? Drawing my fellow yoga classmates and ballet dancers like Roberto Bolle. It's rare to find that body type without the guy being greased up, hairy and aggressively posed, which makes me look the other way. You'll really only find the approachable, strong pretty-boy kind of design at Disney.
To be continued...
- SoleilSmile said...
Sure, there's Bruce Timm, Dreamworks and Alex Toth, but they have those damn SKINNY LEGS on all of their males characters, or bulky legs that are barely movable but mostly skinny. How in hell are those coffee stirrers supporting the rig cage and shoulder girdle?
John, you know I love you and your work, but let us girls have our eye candy. I know that heroes are supposed to be imperfect to be relatable, but Tangled is a girl's world. Therefore, you have GIRL'S FANTASY. Square jaws, determined brows, soft kind eyes, well groomed longish hair, broad shoulders, narrow torsos and full legs. Yum! It's only fair (and makes sense to draw with mobility). The male audience has enjoyed the same hour glass female for years! Lighten up. Now let's enjoy our respective stock eye candy in peace.

I definitely agree that its imbalanced. In theory a pretty male character who is written as straight should only be gay to us gays. We're the ones who would look at him in a gay way. Its like saying the same old pretty, dainty females are gay because lesbians like them. Its like straight men are threatened by depictions of men being pretty, which I don't really understand. I think sometimes straight men forget there are other points of view in the world, like that of straight women, gay men, or gay women.

I liked the older version of him better, where he looked like a bear. He was kinda cute that way. Too bad they had to make him "attractive" - By making him into just another bland smartass.
Rapunzel is also really bland, even worst than him - She looks like a Barbie doll! I get that they have to sell toys, but this is going a bit too far.
- Pete Emslie said...
Sorry, SoleilSmile, but I think you're missing the point. The problem with these recent Disney animated heroes is that they really AREN'T the square-jawed types you describe as girl's fantasy figures. It's ironic that Flynn was supposedly inspired by his namesake, Errol Flynn, in that the Disney animation team say they were going for a more roguish, swashbuckling type. Yet, instead of looking like Errol Flynn, with his square jaw, cleft in chin, and pronounced creases along the cheek line when he smiles, they ended up softening and homogenizing all the features on Flynn Rider and giving him the same peaches and cream complexion as Rapunzel! I'd argue that Errol Flynn and his fellow swashbuckler types back then, such as Tyrone Power and Douglas Fairbanks Jr, though considered the "pretty boy" actors of their time, were still far more ruggedly handsome than their counterparts today.
If you look at the compilation of recent Disney animated heroes in that image that C posted above, you can see that these guys collectively are like the animated equivalent of Nsync - all baby faced metrosexuals. Is that really what women today go for, rather than the chiseled features of Errol Flynn or Tyrone Power? I'm sorry, but I just don't get it.
By the way, I agree with your complaint that Disney girls are no better. Personally, I'd like to see more variety there as well. Again, I go back to classic beauties from the glorious past: doe-eyed Audrey Hepburn, the full pouty lips of Brigitte Bardot, the exotic eyes and high cheekbones of Sophia Loren. Yes, there is so much more variety in female beauty than what we are seeing in animation design, I agree.
- SoleilSmile said...
Hi Pete. I can half way admit that I am missing the point. The reason why, is that the exfoliated pretty is Disney's house style and I don't see why they should deviate from it. Spumco has a house stock style with its girls so does WB with it human charactesr. All the studios do.
Perhaps the argument shouldn't be against Disney for simply following through on its ideals, but other studios for not being brave enough to make it big with a style of pretty boy of their own.
By the way, in my comic, Hermes and Giermo both have 5 o'clock shadows ( when I can remember to draw them) and I often leave the stubble on Giermo in the form of short cat whiskers. Silly I know, but it's an homage to an old boyfriend who would always miss a spot after shaving :)
Carry on!
- Dennis Cornetta said...
I must have missed the reason why everyone is pissing and moaning about those drawings.
But anyway, nice anatomy and figure sketches!
- SoleilSmile said...
Agreed, Dennis. They are great studies. The shoulder girdle is so very tricky and this rough model sheet is a great help.
Thanks for posting Murray and John!
- kurtwil said...
Watching a ton of old Popeye cartoons revealed how simplified most animated males (and females) have become, probably because reducing line mileage became a major factor in productions from the 1940's onward.
Pete E and John K have shown a more "manly" (and womanly) look is possible with relatively few lines.
Sometimes Anime does offer Males who aren't metrosexual clones, but their limited animation doesn't help their look build personality.
- JohnK said...
I thought "studies" were drawings you did while you were learning something new.
These look more like "memorizeds".
- damsel said...
Um, I find this post homophobic and incredibly offensive. I don't really get your point here by linking Tom of Finland art either. I love Tom of Finland personally.
I figured you were just showing an appreciation for his work but now I see your real agenda. Quite a shame. Good day sir.
- SoleilSmile said...
You're right, John. However, these rough models will help a lot of beginners. I have a friend who is trying to learn how to draw men through the How to Draw Manga series. As you know, those books make the body look stiff as all hell. These Glen Keane roughs are quite a step up. I've been trying to teach my best-friend line of action for years and since men are more subtle in their stances than women, posing can be very tricky!
Be patient will ya? Not everyone can live in LA with it's vibrant animation artist community. Fine artists live elsewhere, and most of them cannot draw with form or use construction lines.
Thanks again for posting!
- Mr. Semaj said...
I wonder if people will still be sitting around complaining in five more years.
At the rate this blog is going, most likely.
- SandraRivas said...
That movie was so extremely awful and ugly to me.
And the people I work around with in Disneyworld all praise the movie, as if they had never seen anything like it. Seriously I had one guy that literally jumped to the ceiling when I told him I didn't like it and gave my reasons why.
- Michael said...
Yeah, I don't really understand why you would compare a passionately studied, thoughtfully composed, uniquely styled, and ultimately well-drawn Tom of Finland illustration with a bland Disney model sheet. Unless you meant to suggest that the Disney character was somehow similarly sissy (ToF men are about as masculine as it gets - minus the hair lacquer and mascaraed mustaches) or weak design is akin to gay design (gay meaning lame or any other negative) but you wouldn't do that, would you, Unca John K.?
- ChazXanderN said...
I'm gay and the douche-faced, swimmer build, disney men have never been something I was inclined to. The ripping friends however, yessir.
- kurtwil said...
Some of the Disney Prince artwork at Deviant Art shows what "Murray" looks like fully shaded, rendered, and "endowed with maleness".
Pete E. makes a very valid point here.

The funds are part of $255 million in federal money currently available for the Honolulu rail transit project this fiscal year. The project to date has $320 million available in federal funds under the Full Funding Grant Agreement. That agreement, signed last December, guarantees the project a total of $1.55 billion during the next six years.
"This shows the continued commitment of our federal partners to providing Honolulu with a safe, reliable and efficient transportation alternative to some of the nation's worst traffic congestion," said HART CEO and Executive Director Dan Grabauskas. "These funds will be used to reimburse the project for design, engineering and other costs associated with building Oahu's 20-mile rail system."
The rail system includes 21 stations at key education, employment and retail destinations, including The University of Hawaii - West O'ahu, Leeward and Honolulu community colleges, Honolulu International Airport, Downtown Honolulu, Pearl Harbor and Ala Moana and Pearlridge shopping centers. The first 10 miles of the rail system from Kapolei to Aloha Stadium is expected to open in 2017, with the full 20-mile line opening in 2019.

For cyclists who don't want to stop at the water's edge, a new water bike is gaining some media buzz with its crowdfunding campaign to bring the project to the masses.
Project founder Judah Schiller has been raising awareness by riding the Bay Cycle -- which is essentially a bike mounted on pontoons -- across the San Francisco Bay and New York's Hudson River.
To get your bike on the water, you'll need a kit called Shuttle Bike, made in Italy by a small manufacturer called SKB, that can be worn as a backpack and can be used to convert any bike into a self-propelled water bike in about 10 minutes.
The Bay Cycle project "is really about opening a new aquatic frontier in biking, and why not?" Schiller says in a video. "Within about 10 minutes you can have your bike on the water using your own pedaling power. If the water gets choppier, it actually becomes more like mountain biking."
CNET reports that the Bay Cycle project intends to raise funds to buy Shuttle Bike kits to sell in the US, while the Indiegogo campaign suggests research and prototyping new designs, in addition to raising awareness of bike commuting over water.
But it is really practical? Outside magazine writes that "hopping into a sea kayak -- provided you've got somewhere to stow it on the opposite shore -- [is] a more appealing transbay commute." Plus in some cases, you'll need to keep an eye on commercial ship traffic, which could get hairy. Still, Gizmag writes that "judging by the BayCycle video, riders can work up to impressive speed."
Schiller plans to organize large groups on the water and plan races, and will get a tattoo in the honor of whoever donates $25,000 to the project.

Church structures and administration and the technical requirements for building churches all changed during the 19th century. The century began with cautious church building on classical lines and ended with the highest level of church building since the Middle Ages, inspired in particular by the Gothic cathedrals.
Better production and craft techniques meant that churches acquired a lighter form and became richer in detail. The cogging joint technique was still dominant, but the timber was worked more and churches often had both interior and exterior panels. Almost 40% of the surviving churches of this period have a simple, long church design, and about 30% are octagonal and 30% cruciform churches.
Up until 1850, the parish structure changed little, so that most new churches were built as replacements for old ones. An already noticeable lag in church building was further heightened by the economic upturn and continued population growth of the mid 19th century. Even many of the 17th and 18th century churches were now too small. The new Church Act of 1851 required churches to have room for 3/10 of the population of the parish. This, and the establishment of new parishes, led to an explosion in building activity. During the second half of the 19th century, 623 new churches were built and 390 old ones were demolished.
In order to achieve this formidable task, some of the country's foremost architects, such as Linstow, Nebelong, Grosch, Nordan and Schirmer, were engaged as national advisers. The Ministry of Church and Education issued sets of drawings that local church builders could use or adapt as needed. In this way, church building helped to spread international architectural ideas. The Gothic style was chosen as the undisputed sacred ideal, but detail elements were often borrowed from the popular timber-building style of the day, the Swiss Style. The white, timber-built Neo Gothic church thus became the very prototype of a Norwegian church.

The first time I used this stuff, I knew things just got real, as they say.
Well that's technically not exactly how they say it, but you get what I mean.
No, this is not a sponsored praise-fest (if you've followed me for a while, you know that basically goes against everything I stand for), just probably the best beauty purchase of my year.
Part of the reason I'm extra excited about this besides the fact that it has totally changed and simplified my whole skincare/makeup routine, is because perfecting your skin is so important. To me, it's probably the most important aspect of a makeup routine. If your skin looks good, you can pretty much get away with anything else.
Because it is so very unique and amazing, there is lots more to share beyond my love it or hate it verdict.
So I created a video below allll about this stuff to share all the details about it (what makes it so unique) as well as a demo so you guys can see how well it covers. So be sure to check that out because it's so much more info than I could ever put down in words.
Well, we all know I could, but you'd still be reading well into next week. ;)
So a description in a nutshell... It's the most multi-tasking bb/cc product I've ever tried. It has the same coverage as a full-coverage foundation, yet looks really natural. It has taken the place of my moisturizer in the morning, as well as my foundation, so to say it has simplified my routine would be an understatement.
Here's a few facts about it:
- Full Coverage
- SPF 50+ (physical sunscreen, non-chemical)
- Anti-Aging Serum (peptides, niacin, algae, vitamins A, C, B, E, hylauronic acid, and hydrolyzed collagen along with anti-oxidants and exotic natural botanicals)
- hydrating moisturizer

I don't know whether I should call it horrible or terrifying, to be honest. Today at 1:45 AM someone has tried to enter my apartment - I live in a ground floor, and all my windows and my door are literally facing the garden. I've heard someone (I've been able to distinguish three voices), talking very excitedly and, soon after, they were literally pounding on my door and opening the mail slot to see if there was any activity inside. Whomever it was, they wanted to gain access to my apartment or else, they were high on something and pretty violent. Something that surprises me is that my motorcycle is parked outside, and they haven't touched it... Which makes the entire situation weirder and scarier - this was not a burglary, but someone who came here with a malicious intent. I just don't know what they wanted.
The thing that shocks me the most is how laissez faire the police have been, to be honest. I have told the emergency operator that they were pounding on the door and the walls as we spoke (the noise was loud enough for her to hear it), and they were talking and moving around in the garden as I was speaking to her; her answer has been "have you looked outside to see who it is?". Well, of course not! These people are fucking crazy! They have said that they would send someone, but after 10 minutes of this I have had to call again, because no one had come - the operator's answer has been basically, wait until we can come and stop being a nuisance. Cheers mate! Those people whomever they were, have been outside for a good 15 to 20 minutes. By the time the police have given me a paltry phone call 50 minutes later to tell me that they'd surveyed the area and they were long gone, obviously no one was there. Thanks for your efficiency! I couldn't have worked it out myself even if I'd tried with all my might.
So, a group of violent people could try to gain access to my apartment during the night yet again, and the police don't give a shit. I have to wake up very early every day, and I am terrified of what might happen if they decide to come at 4 o'clock instead of 1:45 AM the next time, if there is one (and I am praying to God there isn't because that was fucking scary). So, what am I supposed to do, end up in hospital fighting for my life or dead for them to decide that this is a fucking emergency?!?!!!
Also, the thing that surprises me is that there wasn't any response whatsoever from my neighbours - were they too scared to turn the lights on? Are they catatonic? Those individuals were making A LOT of noise! They were pounding on the door and walls, for Christ's sake! What the hell is wrong with people? Would they have reacted at all if someone had entered my apartment and decided to murder me? This is unbelievable...
Well, I don't know what to do. I feel like shit at the moment - it's 3:18 AM and I have to go soon, so wish me luck.

I can't stop wearing Man Rays. It's fab in this Florida sun. Also Red Racer lipstick is incredible. I got all four lipsticks but should have got another Red Racer backup. Knowing Mac it will soon go into the vault of obscurity only to be repromoted when we least expect it. I tried Crew but I couldnt understand it. Is it a blush? Is it a highlighter? Shrug.ReplyDelete

"One death on our railways is one too many and we need to stop this troubling increase in railroad fatalities," said Gov. McCrory. "We urge everyone to put safety first and use caution when approaching railroad crossings, avoid trespassing on the tracks and always yield to oncoming trains."
Last month, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) partnered with local law enforcement, railroad police and other officials in Fayetteville to conduct the first of several "Crossing Safety Blitzes" planned for the coming months.
Other safety blitzes will be held in May, June and July in Charlotte, Greensboro and Dunn, respectively, at some of the crossings with the highest number of train-car collisions in the state. The May 7 blitz in Charlotte will coincide with International Level Crossing Awareness Day.
In February, Rail Safety Roundtable was held with the state's railroad leaders to discuss ways to keep motorists from bypassing crossing gates and pedestrians from trespassing on the tracks. These efforts complement NCDOT's ongoing "Be Rail Safe" program aimed at preventing accidents and injuries on North Carolina's railways, as well as its other safety, education and training programs.
North Carolina has more than 3,300 miles of railroad tracks used by passenger and freight trains as an important means of transporting people and goods throughout the state.
