The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has won the highly sought-after Four Wheeler of the Year
award. The Range Rover Sport was up against the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, Jeep Cherokee
Trailhawk, Toyota 4Runner, and Dodge Durango Limited. This marks the third time Range Rover has
earned this honor.
Each of the vehicles was evaluated based on the following five categories: trail performance, mechanical
and empirical data, on-road performance, interior, and exterior. The competition took place over five
days in Southern California and covered 1000 miles at both high and low altitudes in daytime and
nighttime driving.
"Our testers appreciated the 510hp, nearly 12in of ground clearance, 10-11in of wheel travel at each
corner, and a 0-60mph time of 5sec flat," said John Cappa, Editor-in-Chief of Four Wheeler magazine.
"Add a traction control system that allows the driver to make use of these impressive specifications on-
and off-road, along with a plush interior with all the amenities and you have our 2014 Four Wheeler of
the Year, the Range Rover Sport."
"It is a great achievement for the very luxurious and performance oriented Range Rover Sport to be
named 'Four Wheeler of the Year,' by the country's oldest four-wheel drive enthusiast publication," said
Kim McCullough, Brand Vice President, Land Rover North America. "To win this extreme off-road
competition with the all-new Range Rover Sport highlights the work our engineers and designers have
done to enhance our already-leading breadth of capability."
All participants had to be either all-new or substantially revised from the previous model year, available
for sale to the public before February 15, 2014, and at least 1500 units must be produced for sale within
the continental US. All vehicles must use a transfer case with a dedicated low-range gear; all-wheel-drive
vehicles with no low-range are not allowed.
Be sure to look for full test results and vehicle evaluations in the February 2014 issue of Four Wheeler.

Selmer CL211 Intermediate Bb ClarinetMade of grenadilla wood, the Selmer CL211 Intermediate Bb Clarinet features a smaller bore, undercut tone holes, adjustable thumb rest, and silver-plated keys. The internal bore design of the Selmer CL211 compares to many professional handmade clarinets. The use of carefully located tapers (conical) and straight (cylindrical) sections creates a smooth, consistent scale.The Selmer CL211 clarinet enables musicians of all ages and abilities to produce a refined, resonant tone quality. The shape of the Selmer CL Series clarinet bore results in an instrument in tune with itself. Play a low G, add the register key to produce the D a twelfth above and check the pitch of both notes; they should register as in tune. Do the same with low A and middle E, low Bb and middle F, low Bn and middle F#. Critical undercutting of the tone holes refines this tuning process and enhances a full, even sound over the entire range.The Selmer CL Series makes playing the clarinet effortless. Key placement and size becomes very critical for young musicians. Small fingers can easily cover the profile and size of the ring keys. Ergonomic positioning of the left-hand little finger keys and throat A facilitates advanced technique. An adjustable right-hand thumb rest on the CL211 allows for a personalized feel. Use of professional-style tapered pivot screws on all Selmer clarinets lends a light, positive action.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This is the instrument I currently play. It is the fourth I've had ownership and I love it. I am a band director and my students gawk and wish they had a clarinet that looked and played that nice. I know it's not a Buffet and top of the line, but it works for me and my budget.
It?s a great instrument with a warm and full tone.
I Perchused this Clarinet because my Buffet E11 was stolen i was not expecting what a got the tone was great almost perfect tuning in all octives all around beautiful only complaint i had was the mouthpiece was very crappy I would get a better one when buying this clarinet
I will buy a second selmer clarinet

Yes, there have been times when I've wished I could do it all myself. Times I've dreamed of snipping through those blond and amber tendrils bound only by the vast horizon of my will, wholly immune to the whims of that hand which guides my every move. Such bondage! Tell me—what able-bodied creature does not crave an accomplishment to call his own? What noble steed has not dreamed of charging into battle with a sword clutched in his hoof rather than with a cumbersome knight straddling his back?
Granted, I am just a pair of scissors. But do I not have a soul? Do I not, like she who grasps me, have two arms? I would happily give them both for a voice with which to lament my pitiful condition. I have much to be thankful for—this much is true. My blades are sharp; my reflexes strong. Alas, my strengths are not entirely my own.
But when we work in tandem, her and I—when her hands fuse to my handles and I respond to the touch of her fingers before they even squeeze … well, that's when the existential dread falls away like so many clipped tresses to the floor, replaced by an overwhelming sense of duty, adventure, even—dare I say it?—pride.
Together, we are no less than trail scouts, blazing through chaotic thickets in the name of civilization. Together, we have conquered the stubbornest of cowlicks and disciplined the most uneven of bangs. We've felt the hard rain of spray bottles pound upon us as we marched around the ear line and ascended toward the highest summits of the scalp.
I have listened for—and hear even now!—a chorus of blow-dry minstrels that sings of our conquests. The tales of our triumphs have spread to the farthest-flung corners of DiGiovanni Beauty Salon. Those who enter from the outside world may not know my name, but when they ask for my stylist, who does she fetch from the blue well of barbicide? No one but I!
To conquer the unkempt. To restore order to a world entangled in chaos. These are my goals. Yes, I am just a pair of scissors. But my blades are sharp, my reflexes are strong, and my victories outnumber the hairs on the most fertile scalps my arms have traversed.
VeganAroma's owners, Sabina Torrieri?dubbed a "health food guru" by Daily Candy?and chef Grace Augier, know that any specialty diet, and healthy eating in general, can be extremely difficult to maintain while eating out. So they created VeganAroma in order to help diners get access to healthy foods that are 90%?100% organic.
The duo actually takes healthy eating a step farther by following the raw-food diet, which relies on uncooked fruits, whole-grains, and leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and superfoods to nourish the body and help aid digestion and weight loss. Some of the food is never heated above 116 degrees so as not to destroy important enzymes and nutrients. Cooked vegan entrees are served up as daily.
The plant-based meals are yeast-, dairy-, and 95% gluten-free (excluding sandwiches) and handcrafted using vitamin-rich ingredients, such as kale, quinoa, and cashew cheese. Juices, served up individually or for 3- or 7-day juicing detox cleanses, are made fresh from leafy greens. Desserts such as raw cheesecake and chocolate macaroons satisfy any sweet-tooth cravings, as highlighted by the Urban Times, which raved about the chocolate-mousse pie.
The "ARTernative vegan caf?" also attempts to better the community by displaying a colorful collection of locally made artwork. It spreads the word about raw eating through regular cooking classes and offers wellness programs that teach healthy lifestyle habits, such as how to floss using celery strands.
In honor of Women?s History Month, Groupon is celebrating an inspiring group of women: business leaders whose companies and brands enrich their communities. Thanks to the dedication and ingenuity of these leaders, local communities across the country are stronger and more diverse.

Since 1938, the keepers of the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden have cultivated more than 85 acres of floral displays with a mixture of science and art. The gardens are lush with plants valuable to scientists and educators, and the tropical landscapes designed by William Lyman Phillips are like ever-evolving canvases, blooming and fading as the seasons change. Most of the palms, cycads, flowering trees, and vines were collected from the wild, but the grounds also harbor endangered plant species.
Guides give English and Spanish tram tours as well as walking tours through specific parts of the gardens, or visitors can explore the displays at their leisure, wandering through the 16,428-square foot two-level Tropical Plant Conservatory exhibit, which blooms with orchids, fruit trees, and rare palms. Cascading waterfalls punctuate the stream flowing through the 2-acre Richard H. Simons Rainforest, where visitors admire the diverse plant life and reflect on the worldwide threat of rapidly vanishing rainforests. The Wings of the Tropics exhibit features thousands of exotic butterflies with tropical fish and rare plant life. Butterflies are released twice daily and the Butterfly Metamorphosis Lab lets kids experience them up close. The water gardens combine tranquility pools with waterfalls, sculpture, and lily pads to evoke a sense of calm.
When the University of Miami's Lowe Art Museum began in 1952, the school could comfortably display its entire collection in three unused classrooms. Those days are long past. Today, the museum stands as Miami's most comprehensive collection of western and non-western art. The permanent collections feature pieces drawn from across human history, with notable works including Claude Monet's Waterloo Bridge and a recently acquired face mask from the Dan people of Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia, forged from wood, cloth, and fur. A sizable trove of Native American artifacts includes pieces from the Southeast such as a beautifully embroidered bead shoulder bag. Other exhibits include paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, and photographs from the Middle Ages through the present, including the Samuel H. Kress Collection of Renaissance and Baroque art, as well as pottery, sculpture, and metalwork from ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, dating from the first millennium BCE through the 4th century CE.
A few miles away, the tower of the 1939 Old Police and Fire Station rises above the street, gazing down on an unusual blend of sleek, depression-era modernism and Mediterranean revival ornateness. Founded in 2003, the Coral Gables Museum Corp. completely renovated the old municipal building. Spanish touches were added—the new Fewell wing and a 5,000-square-foot plaza—and the space was opened in 2011 as a museum dedicated to the civic arts of architecture, urban design, historic and environmental preservation, and sustainable development. Today, it holds regular art and design exhibitions, educational events, and concerts.
No one would think Angelique Millis ever suffered from weight problems—it's hard to imagine that the slim, well-toned fitness professional and renowned health columnist was at one point 40 pounds heavier and five dress sizes larger. After mustering the courage and self-discipline to overcome her struggles, she decided to dedicate her life to helping others improve their lifestyles and achieve their weight-loss goals—no matter how big or small—in a realistic, measurable manner. Hence, she became professionally certified through the National Federation of Professional Trainers and the National Strength Professionals Association and founded Elite Fitness Connection.
Today, Millis and her staff aim to motivate, educate, and inspire their clients with assessments, one-on-one and small-group training sessions, and nutritional guidance. Factoring in each individual's lifestyle, current capabilities, and dietary habits, the team customizes exercise and nutritional programs to cater to each client's desired goals. They also take regular measurements to quantify progress along the way. During the intense yet supportive personal-training sessions, trainers vary each total-body workout to keep muscles from getting bored and throwing paper airplanes all over the room. For more of a communal atmosphere, they lead small-group Fit in 30 classes, where they spend a half-hour helming cardio- and resistance-circuit routines designed to melt away fat and chisel bodies into finely toned edifices.
On the surface, Susan Hilferty appeared to be living the American dream—a promising position as a pharmaceutical rep, plus an upcoming marriage. But for a woman who grew up studying at The School of American Ballet and dancing on stages including Lincoln Center, selling pills felt empty at times, and Hilferty found her need for physical expression growing stronger. While visiting a friend in Los Angeles, she took her first pole-dancing class, and almost immediately, her life took a new direction.
Though she faced resistance from friends and family, Hilferty saw in her classes how pole dancing transformed women—giving them new confidence, encouraging them to overcome insecurities, and helping them heal from past traumas. She called off her wedding, continued taking classes, and eventually opened Pole Fitness Miami. Today, she and her team of trained ballerinas lead pole-dancing and dance-based fitness classes at two locations. Ranked on CBS Local Miami's list of Best Places For Unique Workouts, the boutique surrounds saunterers with purple walls, subdued lighting, and gauzy curtains to create a sultry atmosphere. Additionally, Hilferty and her crew help students obtain pole-dance certifications, as well as arrange pole-dance parties so groups of damsels can strengthen their bonds or celebrate becoming volunteer firefighters.

Porsche 's only turbo engines are found in the 911 Turbo , the Cayenne Turbo , and the Panamera Turbo , but that all may change soon. Porsche is planning on replacing natural aspiration with turbocharging in a series of other models, including the model set to carry the previously rumored four-cylinder engine .
These new turbo engines will have the advantage of delivering more horse power, as well as reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The car will also be equipped with a turbo engine that will sound completely different, which certainly matters when comparing sports cars.
In an interview with Dutch magazine, Autovisie, a Porsche technician offered a few more details on this upcoming technology: "Turbos are purely for improving the performance and are still only used on the top models. But the combination between smaller engines and turbocharging is a very promising way to lower the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Because of these two factors we will be offering turbo engines in models below the top series in the future. A four-cylinder boxer engine with a turbo is conceivable. But as before, the name 911 Turbo will only be for the model with the highest level of performance used."
We'll see if we can dig up more information to pass along, so stay tuned!

Uniquely Local
Loews Philadelphia Hotel: The History of our Building
The Philadelphia Savings Fund Society (PSFS) was the first savings bank in the United States. During the 1920s, the Savings Fund began to outgrow its headquarters, the increasing volume of banking business and growth in population made it necessary to expand and in 1929 the bank commissioned the construction of a 36-story, 491-foot skyscraper that would provide for the banking and office activities of the Society.
In the midst of the Great Depression, the building was built and equipped at an estimated cost of $8 million and was opened in stages between 1932 and 1933. The $8 million cost was an overwhelming amount during the depression. Today, the building's materials and features would be near impossible to afford.
The PSFS building is considered one of the most significant buildings of the 20th century. The building revolutionized urban landscape. The structure was the world's second skyscraper to have central air-conditioning. The public referred to it as "weather in a box." The public was convinced that central air conditioning was harmful to their health, so for one week, the engineer spent 24 hours a day in the building to prove it was not harmful.
The architects, George Howe and William Lescaze, made certain every detail of the building was perfect. From the marble and granite from 32 different countries to the rare woods used throughout the hotel. Cartier designed clocks were on each floor making a dramatic statement. In 1969 the local AIA voted it the most important building in the city in the last hundred years. By 1979 it was put on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the fortune of PSFS began to change as a nationwide economic downturn and deregulation of the banking industry led to a banking crisis. The company had expanded operations and acquired the name Meritor Financial Group. PSFS remaining the flagship of the parent company.
In 1989 and under heavy pressure from the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC), Meritor agreed to sell fifty-four suburban branches to the Mellon Bank Corporation for $335 million. Mellon also purchased the right to use "PSFS" on its area branches. On December 11, 1992, Meritor Savings Bank closed its doors for business. The PSFS building became just another of the thousands of real estate properties in the hands of the FDIC.
In 1997, hotelier Jonathan Tisch and Philadelphia mayor Ed Rendell announced in the PSFS boardroom that the PSFS building would be converted into a Loews Hotel. Conversion into a hotel began in 1998, and the Loews Philadelphia Hotel opened in April 2000. The hotel takes full advantage of the historical features of the building. The once three story banking room is now a beautiful banquet space that has preserved the historical features, such as the banks safe, Cartier clocks, and original marble. The Loews Philadelphia hotel contains 581 luxury rooms situated in one of the most significant and historical buildings in the country.
The famous PSFS sign
Having the PSFS sign on the roof of the building was the first time any advertisement was integrated into a building's design. At the time the sign was put up, such acronyms were unheard of. Throughout the great depression the sign remained lit 24 hours a day. This reassured its customers that their money was safe and secure during hard times. Years later the decision was made to only have the sign lit at night. However, in 1990 the bank was placed into receivership and the federal government made the decision to turn off the lights permanently. This decision outraged the public, which caused the sign to be turned back on in a matter of days. To this day the sign still illuminates the Philadelphia skyline.
The 33rd Floor
The 33rd floor of the PSFS building was once set aside for the highest echelons of business. The top floor soon established itself as one of the most powerful business settings in the country. The floor was so exclusive and powerful that many of the PSFS top executives never even stepped foot upon the top level. According to urban myth, the elevator operators would get out of the car on the 32nd floor, to have the passengers go to the 33rd floor alone. As the elevator door closed the operator would yell "you're on your way gentleman!"
The historical features of the prestigious floor have been well maintained as part of the hotel. Today the original designs remain in place as well as the unique style of the building remains obvious to this day.

The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, or PURA, released the ruling Wednesday. It approves a proposal by the three investor-owned gas companies in the state to connect about 280,000 new customers to gas over 10 years.
The typical homeowner would face no up-front connection costs. Instead, their monthly bills would be hiked 10 percent for 10 years. Average-size businesses would see their bills rise 50 percent per billing cycle over a decade.
Family-owned heating oil businesses say the expansion would hurt their companies.
PURA will accept written comments on the draft ruling until November 12 and expects to issue a final ruling November 21.

It was absolutely divine omg ieprfiweopriweoprpwrwgg and I counted the cost of the ingredients and it cost like, less than 50p to make a really big glass. I will never ever buy pre-made smoothies again!
So I kinda neglected Maths today but at the same time I basically finished Unit 1 Chem so it's all good. Been through two legacy papers… they're pretty much the same as the new ones, if not somewhat easier actually. So yeah I'm in a pretty good mood today. Also we're having chicken for dinner. Gotta love chicken.
Is it weird that I now look forward to getting on the treadmill in the evenings? It's addictive, seriously.
Just did 20 minutes running on the treadmill, then a heck of a load of sit ups! Woo! Really proud of myself, and haven't been snacking at all today!
The Apprentice sucks though, just sayin'. I used to enjoy it so much but now that I've grown old and cynical (lol) I can see that they just pick a bunch of people who look funny on TV, certainly not the brightest business minds of the UK. Otherwise we're in deep trouble. (I admit though, last year's winner, Tom - I loved him all the way through, haha)
Ok I just went on youtube and saw a featured video called "Beasts of the southern wild" but I read it has "breasts of the southern wild" and I was just like wtf o_o it's like that weird ad I always get on my email… "win one ridiculously large coupon!" which is odd enough on it's own but I ALWAYS read it as "ridiculously large tampon"… There's something wrong with me.
Off to showerrrr. Not even gonna think about revising for tomorrow's chemistry mock it's a hopeless case
No more snacking, more exercising. I'm gonna do this! And this has nothing to do with the fact that I've been revising Healthy Living for my French exam… lulz
to brush (against); (subject) to touch upon
"Cela effleure à peine le sujet." This barely scratches the surface (of the topic).
Although Mr Oakley seemed to be wholly against this and recommends sticking to 'cela touche à peine'. Mind you I think I did confuse him by misspelling it as 'affleure' which of course.. makes no sense. Sigh.
Okay, so I'm pretty proud of myself. For a number of reasons. Firstly, I'm actually eating relatively healthy food and have successfully resisted eating a packet of crisps tonight. Secondly, when I went to get said healthy food, I noticed that the dishwasher needed emptying and did it without being asked to (yes, this is big for me). And finally, I just marked that Biology past paper, and I got… 96%!!!!! BRING ON THE A*.
Just did a Biology past paper that was supposed to take one and a half hours in 45 minutes. So either my revision's just been goddamn perfect or I'm a goddamn idiot, we'll find out after I've marked it! But, first things first, gotta get some food… yay for wanting to eat everything in front of you and yet be on a healthy diet simultaneously.
i found an old diary entry from about 3 years ago, when i was on a major diet, and in it i'd made a note of what i'd eaten that day. porridge, an apple and vegetable soup. you know what i've eaten today? pizza, sausages and chocolate cake. my, how things have changed. but i definitely don't regret losing all the weight, one of the best decisions of my life! and it means of course that now i can afford to eat crap. woohoo. and more crap tomorrow, yay for party food. i'm nervous but pretty excited, i'm not usually an awkward host but i just worry it'll be boring… ewurwerpouweirojwerw it'll be fine :) and after spending an hour waxing my legs, i now remember why i don't often wear dresses.

Mum: The wholemeal bread's in the fridge.
Me: And you're telling me this because…?
Mum: You're being healthy aren't you? Aren't you?

DissonancePosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Fifteen Minutes is a set of sixteen miniatures for solo violin. The twelfth miniature is called Dissonance. It enlists an assistant to play in unison with the violin on kazoo.
Dissonances, traditionally speaking, are intervals that produce conflicting overtones. In this piece, since the instruments are in unison until the very end, the dissonance is not intervallic, but rather timbral and cognitive.
Danielle Belén performed Fifteen Minutes in recital last Saturday, and her husband, Ryan Vaughn, made his kazoo debut. He's posted a video of his splendid performance here:
Couldn't be more delighted than to see a loving relationship expressed through a mild dose of Dissonance.

So I've been drifting around here for a while and am finally sucking it up and starting the sketchbook thing.
I've been drawing on and off for as long as I could remember but let myself get defeated, and end up starting over and over. I want to come back to art for good. I'm still not completely sure how when I suffer from some crazy brain fog but that's where this thread comes in. I'm using it to have something to be accountable to.
Anyway all comments and feedback welcome especially anything about regaining focus.
Besides the painting and the first scribble the rest were from today.

Today's stuff...scribbling ideas for chow. Yea...and some stuff right before my most recent punk out.
Hi. Good start. I would suggest trying to loosen up while you are drawing, instead of doing short, hatchy lines try to do longer ones, it will help you maintain the energy in your drawing.
Thanks for the advice...I'll try it out!
Bleh...enormous rut. I'm pretty sure I draw worse now than I did when I was in grade school. I have no ideas. And I seem to be lacking any art sense I may have had. I'm afraid to give my input on anything I see because I don't trust my own judgment...and I find myself pointlessly ranting on a aforum...good times. Oh well...more scribble...that was pretty forced.
And some more
So I've been slowly(very slowly) working on a 360 faceplate for my boyfriend, he loves The Crow. I figured I'd post a progress shot. I've also tacked on the first faceplate I painted a few years ago.
Cool paintings. ^^
I like your little creatures. Who are they, what do they do? Asking questions like that might help you if you are stuck for what to draw. If you are still stuck you can always try writing down objects and animals and all sort of things on paper, putting them in a jar and then you pull a couple out and that is what you have to draw . . .
Welcome to the group! Very glad to see you decided to stick it out for the long haul. First off it seems you rush yourself a bit too much. In post #2 it seems like the last 2 drawing you had a lot more of focus invested into them. If you feel that your work is sufficient enough to your liking stop and take a deep breath and recollect your thoughts. It will make you tense up big time and just further hinder you.
To respond to your comment about being in a rut... get out and do some life drawing or do what Blythe mentioned. This will give your imagination fuel to play with these shapes and forms and understand how they work so when you are drawing from scratch you have a spring broad to draw something really freakin cool.
Cool faceplate paintings! Keep posting away and feel free to ask me what ever kinda art questions you got.

Blythe: Most of the odd little creature scribbles were trying to work toward the C.O.W. Unicorn Hunter. I rambled off a pretty elaborate concept and was trying to sort out the mechanics of such a creature. Still have it rolling around in my head. Thank you.
Kaffinated:I definitely rush. I feel like I'm in a race against my memory and loathing...something has to hit paper before I forget or get frustrated, which tends to lead to crumpled paper. Horrible way to go I know. Thanks for the input!
Ok so here are some short timed sketches using posemaniacs. I think I should stick to 5 minute ones for now...30 seconds and even two minutes seemed a bit too quick right now. I think it's been taking me a little longer to wrap my head around what I'm looking at. Though maybe pushing is the better alternative...I'm not sure.
Them cars are some nice looking cars! good perspective to em and the ladies too. 2 little things i did notice though front wheel on last car looks a lil twisted and maybe some shadows would be nice so there not floating in space
Fly: Thanks...the wheel is a bit funky.
Ok, so first is a drawing I've been ignoring for a while that I decided to fiddle with a bit tonight. Then there's a few sketches for a piece I just cant seem to work out. It's supposed to be a couple killing themselves together, this is a request based on some song lyrics, and I'm not sure I'm capturing the mood. The one I actually obtained models for after doing the first cheesy sketch but I think I like the more somber feel of the last rough. Opinions?
I really like the dynamic of the girl and the dragon and I really don't want to pass any judgment on it until I see more shading. One thing I will say, it seems like her breast is too perfectly in place, and it might look better (more natural?) if it was a bit less firm, sort of draped onto the bed, if that makes sense.
Anyway, I really like where you're going with that other drawing—I'd love to see the last one more refined.
Also, thanks for turning me on to posemaniacs!
A good tip about how to regain and maintain focus: I call it immersive momentum. You have to just be completely involved with your cause, your direction, and your goals so much that it becomes impossible for you to stop, and in the serious case that you are forced to take weeks or long periods of time away, you can just pick it up again. Just get into it, full force. Once you find yourself slowing down, it's almost always because your mind is bored and you need new things to work with, so draw something new, go somewhere near and sketch, try a new medium or study a style
You've got good stuff here. Try and achieve the same results without drawing so many lines over each other. Think about the line entirely before you draw it, how it moves, connects, turns, the weight to it and then draw it out. If it isn't as good as the way you envisioned, then just erase it. It's much easier to erase and re-draw 1 line than many

good work man!
IanE Thank you for the advice. I think I'm starting to get the idea just not holding as long as I'd like yet still to easy to fall out.
joseph-fb Thanks.
Ok so I'm actually taking a stab at the Icarus CHOW. I have absolutely no idea how to tackle the catapult...have to work on that. Also a bit stumped for what the wings should be completely made of. Ah well...at least I started something.
For the wings, I'd stick with what was available at that time period, and I'd say the most prominently sturdy rig for that kind of application would be very much so like ship sails, maybe combined with some sort of iron work to attach to the body. You'll probably find a lot of info and inspiration by looking here and also here.

nice cars. You have a gift with faces and human anatomy. Your last sketches look better than the first ones. Practicing has definitely improved. Keep it up!
I'd rather leave this blank
Pay a visit to My little sketchbook!
I agree that you have improved. Next tackle feet.
Currently doing the Start Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
IanE Thanks for the reference links...definitely helpful. Great idea about the ship sails too.
heavyflashThanks for the kind words.
Black Spot There's a foot! Hehe, thanks.
Some more scribble updates. Still having a hard time. Head trauma definitely has a negative impact on arting efforts.
I like the female figure above your big toe. It's got good dynamic action and form (and no feet). I like the last one down to just past her waist. She actually has the body of a real woman and not some over muscled stick insect. Take the sock off and let's see your toes.
Thanks for visiting my sketchbook.
Currently doing the Start Up course, so my SB is going to be lonely
You have a good start! I think your poses studies look very good. May be, as the other sugested you should try to use clear lines when you sketch.Keep up the good work and btw-don't give up!!!
Keep em coming! be more confidant in making your marks when drawing. I know you got it in you!!
"Good composition is sort of like pornography. You know it when you see it. "
Blythe Kaffinated Amazing Action Ape Hadesdream
Good work! I see a lot of improvement already.
I would suggest that for the figure studies you concentrate more on the underlying structure, use simple shapes, circles, cylinders whatever works best, instead of concentrating so much on the outline. The outer shape comes /last/. It will help your figuers look more lively. Also try to get a really rough sketch of the entire figure down first, within in the first 30 seconds say, and then move on to the specifics. This way you have a better chance of getting the proportions right.
Black Spot Thank you. I'll work on more feet soon.
Kaffinated Confidence is scary...more to come though.
AgentAlpha Thank you! Yea I'm totally struggling to scrap the sloppy lines.
Blythe Thank you. I tried messing with that a bit today, not anything I'm willing to share yet though.
Here's a sketch I did today waiting in a doctors office.
Hey Hades,
I would suggest doing some blind contour drawings of the figure. There are many benefits to it despite the final results (which always end up disfigured ).
Doing blind contours should help you see the form more clearly, as well as build up your hand eye coordination (helping you with your confidence), plus its just plain fun to do.
Keep at it
SSG #48 Blythe*Kaffinated*Amazing Action Ape*Hadesdream
Amazing Action ApeThanks! I actually tried a few blind contours today. Haven't done any since college. Good fun indeed!
Ok so the first batch of scraps is from last week. Did stuff from The Human Machine, posemaniacs, and a few photos. The second page is some scribble from physical therapy today. So drew the chick from a magazine while waiting, and my hand while covered with heat and ice packs. I'm really struggling to break the bad line habits.
Here's my scribble for IDW#75 Dream Splicer. I'm not submitting it though. I feel extra awkward with photoshop lately possibly because I've been avoiding it like the plague. I'm pretty terrified of color in general unless I'm oil painting.
hey hadesdream,
nice to see that your doing some studies, and the xbox paintings are good, but maybe not good for the xbox lol. oh well, anyways so far your getting an ideal outline of the human anatomy, i would suggest keeping everything to a simple lines than trying to retrace each line. i hoope that helps u in a way. anyways, i like the cars that youve posted, god loves them cars. lol best of luck

SWsoft Partners with Yippi-Yeah! to Bring Europe's Number One Control Panel, Confixx, to Virtuozzo-Powered Virtual Private Servers (VPS) for Low-Cost, High-Powered, VPS, Reseller Functionality
S. San Francisco, Calif., October 15, 2002 – SWsoft, Inc., leader in hosting automation and enterprise server software (www.sw-soft.com), today announced the release of its new ResellerControlCenter™, regarded as the most comprehensive solution for hosting service provider (HSP) resellers. The company also announced a partnership with Yippi-Yeah! to sell Europe's leading hosting control panel, Confixx, to hosting providers and resellers as a standalone product for dedicated servers and with SWsoft's Virtuozzo™-powered virtual private server (VPS) technology.
The new ResellerControlCenter plugs into the HSPcomplete hosting automation solution, giving hosting resellers a complete hosting automation solution that uniquely:
"Resellers no longer need their own datacenter, hardware, bandwidth or automation system to become an HSP, as our ResellerControlCenter allows them all the benefits of a hosting business - only without the work," said Craig Oda, VP Business Development, SWsoft. "We allows our HSP customers with datacenters a system similar to Alabanza, providing an infrastructure to support numerous HSPs and their resellers."
"HSPcomplete has provided a much needed value-added reseller channel that is automated and integrated into my existing hosting business," said Joe Shiekron, CEO, Eryxma Networks (www.eryxma.com). "I now have a value-added reseller channel that enables me to reach out to more SMBs."
Due to excesses built-up during the Dot-com boom, the Web hosting industry is now scrambling for more efficient processes and additional sources of revenue.
"The reseller channel will continue to play an ever-increasing role in the future of the hosting industry," said Mandy Davis, Operations Manager, Netcraft (www.netcraft.com). "Technologies like HSPcomplete provide an infrastructure for a multi-tiered reseller channel that is attractive to the HSP, reseller and the hosting customer."
Virtuozzo and Confixx: Low-priced, high-powered VPS-control panel combination
SWsoft and Yippi-Yeah! have agreed to launch Confixx in the U.S. at a special promotional price of $ 159 per physical server until December 31st, 2002 (English-language only and promotional pricing not available in Europe), for unlimited control panels and virtual private servers (called virtual environments — VEs). Each physical server can be configured with unlimited domains running within each VPS or as a dedicated server without Virtuozzo.
"With 6,500 servers running Confixx, it is one of the most widely used hosting solutions in the world," said Serguei Beloussov, CEO, SWsoft. "Confixx is a solid control panel technology which, through the help of this partnership, will become as popular in the US as they are in Europe. The Confixx hosting control panel running inside a Virtuozzo virtual environment is the only solution that provides customers the maximum number of features at the industry's lowest price point."
"We looked at other VPS solutions and found the technology from Virtuozzo to be clearly superior in terms of reliability, performance and features," said Oliver Brandl, CEO, Yippi-Yeah! "Adding Confixx to Virtuozzo will enable HSP resellers to sell to millions of SMBs across the globe."
"Confixx is a feature-rich and user-friendly control panel that I run on over 500 servers," said Thomas Strohe, president, marketing, product development and new business development, Intergenia AG.(www.intergenia.de). "The combination of Virtuozzo and Confixx Pro yields me far more money per server than traditional dedicated servers."
Fast Start Virtual Private Server Program
"At this pricing for Confixx we've already received extremely positive feedback from HSPs who plan to use Confixx as the default interface to dedicated servers and Virtuozzo-based VPS services, not just as an interface for resellers," says Alex Plant, director of marketing, SWsoft, Inc. "We now have the best price, proven technologies and better features than anything on the market."

As a carrier for the NewspaperWood veneer panels, Vij5 was searching for a stable construction with a nice detailing to complement the material rather than to predominate it.
The solution was found in a remarkable steel construction designed by Floris Hovers. By cutting away material in the corners of the steel profiles, it is possible to bend the legs into shape. The three designers sat down to design the tables together and this is how the flower table, the side table and the coffee table originated.
The sizes of the panels are inspired by the sizes of tabloid newspapers. The table tops are created using grey board 'multiplex' as carrier, covered with a layer of NewspaperWood 'veneer'. With this, the material remains recyclable. As a finishing, the panels are coated with a water-based lacquer.
NewspaperWood is a new material invented by Mieke Meijer, developed together with the Dutch designlabel Vij5 and now part of a new NewspaperWood company.

8 Reasons For Staying Single
These days, there's no real social pressure to get married right out of high school or college, you can easily get laid without saying "I do," and most people are waiting until much later in life to tie the knot, anyway.
Still, that nagging question keeps popping into your head: Should I settle down? Should I ransom my freedom? Should I embark on the great search for my soul mate and willingly kiss my single days goodbye forever?
While only you can answer this question, here are a few reasons for staying single (at least for the time being).
1- You can take the time to find the right woman
One of our reasons for staying single is that you can afford to wait for your true soul mate (if one even exists) to pop into the picture. You can take the time to casually wade through the barracuda-infested waters of the dating pool and set your hook for the prize catch.
In other words, by holding out for Miss Right (instead of Miss Always Right), you can avoid the mistake of a lifetime and marry for love — and not out of desperation.
It's sad to say, but too many guys get hitched for the wrong reasons, like they've reached a certain age, all of their friends are getting married, and they haven't been successful at dating and this woman is the first to show interest.
This reason for staying single allows you to take your time playing the dating game, and increase your odds of beating the divorce statistics.
2- You can focus on your career
Our No. 2 reason for staying single is that you can enjoy the opportunity of building your career without draining the tons of energy a permanent relationship entails. You remain free to put in long hours, work on the weekends or do whatever else you have to do to be successful. This is especially true if you're working in any kind of time-demanding field, such as medicine, law or entrepreneurship.
The upside is, once your business hits the big time and you're cranking mucho dinero , you'll have hordes of women throwing themselves at you. That being said, you probably still won't even have time to think about marriage.
3- You can do what you want, when you want
When you're single, the world is your oyster. You can pick up and go anywhere you want, do anything you want, any time you want. No one is in the background nagging at you to do chores, go shopping, or "grow up."
You're absolutely free to hang out with your buddies, party until dawn and find plenty of time for your personal interests and hobbies. Best of all, you have the luxury of being all by yourself, if you feel like it.
Having sex with different women, making mad money and other reasons for staying single...

Color Block It! Furniture & Accessories
Color is the essence of happy modern style. This palette of color blocked furniture and accessories fits the bill perfectly with hues like mango, dark turquoise, and chartreuse. Gender neutral, color blocking is a smart and versatile strategy that can make small spaces feel larger or create cozy areas in cavernous ones.
Whether your color tolerance is low or high, add a bit of happy modern by incorporating a color blocked element. It can be as small as a throw pillow or as large as a rug.

I am loving the Parson's File Cabinet!
There's a fine line between color blocking and bad quilt-square-Cosby-sweater-80's. If you've ever shopped area rugs on overstock.com you know what I'm talking about.
Can any comment on the negative review for the Parsons' File Cabinet within the link? The customer says it is equivalent to building your own file cabinet from scratch with a lot of dowels and screws that need to be glued.
Whoever posted the child sized $100 stupid filing cabinet needs to realize there's a difference between "color blocking" and "a block that is a color."
