Hello all. My name is Jeremy Deck and I have been self-training for the past year. I started out painting photorealism (or attempted to) in high school. I primarily worked from photos for reference and have been trying to break that habit. I started out with a few Bargue studies and have been trying to translate that knowledge to the cast/still life.
I attended the Academy of Realist Art (formerly MJAS) in Toronto last spring for a short one month stay. I
I hope to return to Canada again in a few months to continue my studies.
Please let me know what you think, I would love to hear opinions from some of the amazing talent I see here on this forum. The Fortuny copy of the boy with a flute, and the still life are unfinished. Each has about 10-20 hours to go, so if anything is obviously wrong, hopefully it is already on my list of things to correct, but please point it out just in case.
I've wanted to join this forum for a while, just never did. I've been lurking though, and I am really impressed with what some of you do.
Anyways, cheers.

you sure have a good grasp how to convey a realistic view
Hello Jeremy,
I would love to see some close-ups of the still-life painting. May I ask what color palette was used? From what I can see I think the painting would greatly benefit from a looser interpretation of soft and lost edges, because right now the objects are rather flat and repelling from each-other due to the razor-sharp contours. My eyes are also searching for more reflected orange light.
~ Stephen
Thanks for responding guys. Yeah the still life isn't finished. I think the background needs some atmosphere to it and the edges need a little attention like you said, I had to photoshop a little glare out of the photo and flattened the . Hoping to get back to work on that one sometime later this week.
For my still life palette: Van dyke brown, ivory black, ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, viridian, terre verte, vermillion, rose madder, burnt umber, burnt sienna, cad orange, cad yellow, yellow ochre

Thanks for posting those, I really appreciate it I want to direct you to these two posts:
Despite the level of refinement you have taken this piece, I think it is still far more important to keep the overall effect in mind rather than perfecting each object. I gotta run right now but I'd like to know what you think about these two posts!
~ Stephen
Yeah man I think after I'm all through with my second painting of the pitcher and sugar bowl (still unfinished) I'm really going to focus on unifying the piece, like the edges and tonal relationships.
I think the thing in the first post about making a light transition in the background would be great advice for my still life. I think it lacks atmosphere, which might be all it needs to really set it off. If you or anyone has any advice on how I could treat the edges to bring the whole effect together please put it out there.
thanks again.

Here's what I would prefer to see: I would consciously decide to make the peaches the focal point, and place the sharpest edges where the white arrows are pointing (areas on the peaches of greatest value contrast facing the light source). The rest of the edges need to be loose enough to "bleed" into each other.
The highlights on the rim of the container are the most distracting; I would emphasize about a centimeter of the rim as a highlight and make the rest of it fall away into softer edges and darker value. I also added more red, does this look closer to the actual painting?
The main point I am trying to make is that the painting will not improve by adding more to it, you need to take away a lot of the minute details if atmosphere is going to have a chance to flow through this.

I agree with the above. It will be exciting to see your work when you start to learn how to subordinate. Right now, they are pretty much how a camera sees. And a camera can do it far better than you can.
good work. I'm sucker for atelier stuff. Is that figure drawing a Bargue copy or an actual model???
Darkwolf, thanks a ton for the example and I couldn't agree with you more. I have a still life that I'm in the middle of and I'm really trying to avoid getting too wrapped up in the details this time around. I'm also trying to use really large brushes to help me decide which details are necessary.
wow I'm really glad you sent that example, I cant wait to do that work on those edges. Although I feel that it may be too late to eliminate some details, as the still life is no longer set up. I'd hate to try to simplify too much without reference to nature.
Patdzon, Thanks, the figure is actually a copy by a Spanish academic artist by the name of Mariano?? Fortuny.

Beautiful work! I'm curious: what are your career goals in art?
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

Hey there seedling. Back in high school I was really into 3d animation and then I started getting into oil painting. I received a scholarship in 3d animation which I declined to pursue traditional art.
I would like to make a living off of portraiture and eventually do large compositions based on mythology and maybe history painting

I find it amazing you already know how to paint such an amazing still-life in spite of your one month stay.
Jeremy- Good to see you here on CA! I remember seeing your work over on WC in the Classical forum and being impressed. Your work is exceptional, your off to an awesome start in your studies. Do you have the "Drawing Course" book from ACR? Great resource for the Bargue plates... I copied one myself (PL 14) not to long ago, very hard work but well worth it. If I remember from your WC posts, your working in carbon. Great medium, although it just about made me want to burn all my art materials and take up knitting. I still have not got the handle of using brushes to blend carbon, my attempts come out rather cloudy. So kudos to you for such fine tonal work with your Bargue plates, I'm inspired to try again. Was your still life painted from a setup or from a photo? Very nice work there, you have quite the eye for detail, and your technique seems very well developed. Great to see you here, if you have not thought about it already, you might want to get a sketchbook started over in the Sketchbook forum. Would be great to follow along with your studies as you progress.
great work, I look forward to seeing more of it.
Hi Deck,
Thats some really great work you have there. I really like the way you have dealt with the bend of light in the glass container. Any advice on that subject would be much appreciated
Keep it up!
Jeremy Deck, great work, how long did it take you to getthe Bargues to that level?
I know this is cheeky, but could you tell me what your first drawing is of? Is it a famous piece? I would really like to see the original reference, because i just couldnt resist drawing it, and drawing from your drawing seems a bit wrong. ( I messed it up anyway, but finished it)
Hey there Jeremy, first of all welcome to the forums, like you said, lots of great people here and immense amounts of talent to boot. Your work has a wonderful soft quality to it, good stuff. Sorry to hear about your family tragedy, hope you can go to Canada soon, but have you considered studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in the mean time? At least they have an extensive collection of casts to study. Anyway, keep it up!
I'm sorry that it has been a while since I have posted. I have been spending the past 4 days or so building a new easel and setting up a new studio space. The easel should be done tomorrow and I should have an update on the peaches still life.
reidaj- Hello, thanks for stopping by. The instructors at the Academy told me that they usually don't let their students use "tools" for the bargue plates. This is only because it is just another hurdle to cross for the student when they should be foremost concerned with form and proportion, without added distractions. They said the same thing about the student's trouble with keeping it "neat" and getting that cloudy effect. My still-life was done sight-size from life. No photos.
Cryptorchild- The bends in the light should be thought of as abstact geometrical shapes of varying color mixtures. This is all about accurate
observation of smaller proportions contained withing larger ones.
Ivow- Don't sweat it. It is actually just a litho plate from the Bargue book. If you don't know what that is, just google it.
Dimitris, the head of Ariadne took about 120 hours or so, and the man with the beard took about 80-90.
Fatkid- I've got a pile of gestures lying around from when I was at the academy but I haven't had much of a chance to do much work from the model at home. I must say that the measuring with sight-size translates VERY well to a comparative measurement system. Drawing from life is the thing I am longing for most right now, the figure that is.
Pancho- Thanks for the condolences, my 16yr old brother passed in a car accident a year or so ago. He was an awesome kid.
About the PAFA thing, thier cast collection is pretty sweet. I think I might be moving back to downtown Philadelphia when I get back from Toronto this summer, so I'm going to have to think about that. But that depends on how long I stay in TO.
Talk to you later guys. Thanks for replying.

Decktilldawn, if you dont mind, do you have any advice for rendering a shiny metal surface (like the dish holding your peaches in the still life) as far as layering, etc. goes?
I've been having a difficult time with this lately.
Parker, both the sugar bowl and the shiny dish were painted fairly directly over a n inked drawing. I only really used glazes to deepen the reflection of the peach in the metal, and only lightly.
The best tip I can send your way would be to focus on shapes. First get the outline, then try to make one or two accurate divisions and keep refining from there. Each shape will have a color an value of its own, but most of it is fairly monochrome so you could do a grisaille first and apply colors to simplify things.
Here are a few pieces I did back in high school. Back then reflections in metal and glass were my main focus and I did many pieces to try to come up with a method for painting them. The frist one was my very first oil painting from 11th grade, and the motorcycle was done with a grissaille to give you an example. All oil on canvas except the last which is watercolor. Sorry but I don't have any WIP shots.

Impressive high school skills Now I would like to see you tackle small still life paintings in 2 or 3 hours max, focusing primarily on the color relationships. As with the peach still life, these paintings are placing the utmost importance on refining individual objects and carving outlines instead of trying to capture the still life as a unified whole. I think doing 2-3 hour studies will get you away from detailing and worrying about edges. Being able to suggest a spoon in five brush strokes instead of fifty will teach you how far you can push details before the spoon loses its clarity and impact.
~ Stephen
Darkwolf, thanks a lot for stopping by to post again. I still have to give an update on those peaches, I'd like your opinion on my progress with that one.
It's strange that you say the thing about the 2-3 hour still life thing, because I was actually going to try something like that in the next few days or so, something really small though. I have been doing a bit of plein air as well and I feel that though I would never leave a finished piece in such a rough state, it is helping to develop a more frank style of applying paint.
I have been looking at some of the work of artists I most admire and I am starting to come to the realization that part of my problem with painting loosely may be the size that I am working at (sight-size lately). For instance this detail from an Alma Tadema painting is much smaller than life and I would say it is probably a balance between the detail that I use right now, and what you would like to see. To me though, this amount of simplification is exactly what I would hope to achieve someday.
About the size, I really look forward to working on a piece that is much larger and not so scaled to life. Then I can feel less like I am robbing the eye of detail that at a proper viewing distance to the actual object (2x the largest dimension of the work, for the peaches thats like 3 feet) would be more than visible. I'm sure there is a knack to finding a good compromise but I think that has a lot to do with experience too.
I respect painters like Hals and Sargent very much, but I love the academics even more. I think it lies more in the temperament of the man holding the brush than in what is truly the RIGHT or WRONG way to paint. Accepting this small amount of difference in the realm of realism alone can probably stop quite a few fist fights from erupting amongst otherwise like-minds.
At the academy there were a few really talented students that said that eventually they wished to leave their works in the "first painting" stage without doing much second-painting or glazing at all for very valid reasons. The looseness of stroke shows a type of confidence that we all would like to possess someday. The instructors on the other hand, did not seem too fond of any type of mannerism by the student. Their attitude was that when you are training, you paint AS YOU SEE (while still employing selective-focustechniques). Later on the stylistic tendencies will show through NO MATTER WHAT, because each one of us is different. Even when two very skilled painters try to represent the same subject it will turn out differently in subtlety and nuance while the same larger, more important pieces of information underlie both. Harold Speed says something very similar in the book attached to both of our signatures.
If someday you can paint as well as Sargent, Rembrandt, or Hals and someday I can paint as well as Alma-Tadema, Bouguereau, or Leighton I don't think either one of us would have anything other than respect for the other. At least I wouldn't. I hope that everyone on here that seems to be put off by my somewhat-academic attention to detail knows that I am by no means where I want to be
with painting at all. I'm doing my best here. Maybe I'm not, but I'm definitely trying to.

No problem, I look forward to watching you progress
If you want to give it a try, here is how I'm doing color studies with my teacher with the intention of breaking away from sight-size and a limited palette:
The still life set-up: A handful of small objects in close proximity on a cloth backdrop. To make things more interesting, everything in the still life is high chroma and reflective, but not transparent to make things simpler. This is under its own artificial light.
Easel and palette set-up: Stand 5-7 feet from the still life, painted on the smallest canvas you are comfortable with. Before starting, pick an interesting area of the still life, crop it and zoom in. I like to crop away perfect geometric shapes so I can focus on the abstract. Between yourself and the easel, put a tall wire rack or table to lay your full-color palette, solvent, box of rags, etc. The table encourages painting with your arm fully extended and constantly taking a step back to make comparisons. The easel/palette set-up is under its own artificial light.
With colors, we are primarily trying to push chroma to the fullest extent in which the study will still hold together. We start with a block-in to cover the canvas, trying to apply the most accurate local color for each object from which to refine further. Doing studies in this manner intensifies the strengths of chroma and value, so that by working under natural lighting conditions these effects and interactions can be more easily understood.

Jeremy, your copy of that Alma-Tadema painting is amazing, i love the rendering of the plate that the eggs rest on, and the hands are great too....how big is this piece?
I think you make some great points regarding academic styles vs looser/impressionist wasy of representation, I never really understood why people got into heated arguments about such matters. Personally, I dont think I've disciplined enough to pursue well done academic studies, so msot of my work looks very loose, but i think part of it is my lack of command over oils at this point, definitely something i would like to pursue in the future.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Oh man, thats not a copy. LOL, I just posted that to make reference to his work as an example of what I would like to achieve. I'll agree with you that the whole thing is pretty amazing.
I feel bad, sorry to get your hopes up dude!
I should also say that your work is awesome. I was just checking it out.
Darkwolf, sorry I didn't see your post sooner and coincidentally I have been working on a small still life with pretty much the exact setup you recommended. I really like what you say about painting with your arm fully extended as I've been trying that out a lot for this one. large sweeping strokes seem to show so much more confidence when produced this way. I am also using a limited palette that consists of Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue, and Flake White. I'm going to try to post a progress photo of that one when I get my camera back sometime tonight.
Later guys.

Might I just say that this is brilliantly said.

I ordered this a few weeks ago but it looks like I need to get a new one made with a 21+ torso.

Hi Michael,Do you have the weight on this pack?Thanks
Weight is exactly 12.8 ounces, and its possible to trim off excess length of the straps to save .5-1 ounce.
Price drop $135
What's the volume. Nice pack..BTW
From the dimensions you list, it'd be ~20L, not counting the roll top and the exterior pockets?
With the use of the roll top and pockets it will be around 1500ci or 24-25l.
$125 price drop
$115 it can ship priority Monday!
$110... And am throwing in a long handled ti spoon.
That is a nice pack.FWIW I don't think it'd be a prohibitive amount of work for Chris or someone else to rip a few seams, pull the straps, and move them 2" higher. You might end up with a slightly less clean pack, but it'd fit you.
I asked him and he said it would not be a good idea actually. I'm just getting a new one built.
How low would you drop? I realize making a low offer is sort of insulting, but this pack would be a "want" not a "need."I am at email@example.com

I was very satisfied with FTP uploading at archive.org. I was able to see exactly how much of the upload had been completed. I was able to see the rate at which the upload was progressing. And, perhaps most important of all, I was able to resume an interrupted upload. In other words, if I had uploaded 90% of a file when the connection was lost, all I had to do was reconnect and upload the remaining 10%.
The programmers at archive.org have eliminated the best way of uploading, uploading via FTP. They have decided to force everyone to use an inferior, cruder method.
The programmers at archive.org want you to be completely dependent upon and at the mercy of Adobe Corporation; in other words, they want you to use the Flash uploader.
When using the Flash uploader, there is a progress indicator that gives only a very rough idea of how much of the file has been uploaded. There is nothing to indicate the rate at which the upload is progressing. There is no way to resume an interrupted upload.
The Flash uploader is much more primitive than uploading by FTP.
When attempting to use the non-flash uploader, this message appears:
"Unfortunately we do not have upload progress feedback while files transfer during this (non-flash) method."
And, of course, there is no way to resume an interrupted upload.
Unbelievably crude.
But the incompetent programmers at archive.org will probably tell you that the non-FTP methods of uploading are "way kewl" and have lots of nifty blinking lights.
When the programmers at archive.org removed the best way of uploading, they didn't make it easier to upload. They made it harder. They probably resented that the best way made their ways seem so clunky by comparison. And they felt that they needed to make it appear that they were earning their paychecks by making some sort of an "improvement".
It seems that they have no interest in making things easier for contributors to archive.org and that they are only interested in making things easier for themselves.
I have uploaded over 200 videos (feature films and television shows) to archive.org. Since the programmers at archive.org have used their time to sabotage FTP uploading, I will be unable to upload any more videos.
How's that for a title? Lawyer Raymond Burr (seeming very much like Perry Mason) brilliantly defends Angela Lansbury, who seems certain to be found guilty of murdering her husband, who was Burr's best friend! Instead of spoiling it for you, I'll just say that a couple of surprises lie ahead for him. It's a wonder this film was allowed to become p.d. Don't miss it.

Similar to several film noir movies I have watched, Raymond Burr training for the Perry Mason TV show. A nice twist in the second half of the movie. After watching every episode of murder she wrote, it was a nice change of pace to see Angela Lansbury as a nasty piece of work. and she was pretty good looking as well

Very enjoyable. Raymond Burr is a little restrained for my taste, almost flat. He was never a favorite of mine. But he was OK. Angela Lansbury on the other hand was fabulous. I love her in these kinds of parts. Nice film nori viewing. The sound is not that great...keeps going in and out.

Subject: Good story, good acting
This is a wonderful movie, which I enjoyed very much. Raymond Burr and Angela Lansbury were both excellent, as were supporting players Foran, Dehner and Pyle who all guest starred on the Perry Mason series in later years. When this film was made, the beautiful Angela Lansbury was only 25 years old. Raymond Burr, handsome and intense, was 33. I downloaded the 512kb Mpeg4, which was fine for audio and picture. Thank you for making this available. I thought I would never have the opportunity to see this film and was overjoyed to find it here.

Subject: This is one of my favorite PD movies.
An absorbing story and top notch performance from the actors, make this movie enjoyable. Although not a mystery per se, the story does contain plot elements which keep the viewer in suspense to the end.
This one should be remade. It is much better the drivel which is common in cinema today. 5 stars for this well played drama which keeps something up its sleeve to the end.

Subject: Great Story!
This is a very enjoyable story of love and intrigue, with a fascinating twist at the end. A real potboiler, although the sound at some points was not quite as clear as would be desired; even so, this film is definitely worth watching, and Lansbury is quite beautiful in her role.

Subject: Stepping Stones
Both Burr & Lansbury were superb in a great noir film. It is easy to see this film influence Burr's casting as Perry Mason shortly afterwards and Lansbury;s darkness foreshadowed her role The Manchurian Candidate.

Subject: I too liked this one!
Interesting plot with Landsbury as a femme fatal and a very good one at that! Burr was also entertaining as the duped lover. You know what they say about pay back! I'm sure Burr's role here landed him the Mason spot. This is lots of fun!

Subject: Lost Angela classic
No one has mentioned the cool Angela Lansbury role here, which is notable, since both this movie and Life At Stake could possibly have helped her garner her dark role in Manchurian Candidate. Since this was before Perry Mason, it is an invalid argument to say that he's just playing Perry Mason. Besides that, he's got a libido in this film, which Perry didn't have much of. You can also see this movie on your Roku player (Moonlight Movies). Excellent forgotten film.

Subject: Good movie.
billbarstad is a little too hard to please. This movie IS good.
The actor's are all good in their parts. (I will say though, the artist is a little young to be paired with the woman he is paired with.)
I thought the defense attorney's summation at the trial was unbelievable and melodramatic. And, the main plot of the story is "soap opera".
But, overall it was good. The movie moves along quite well and it is not over long like many of these PD films.
I don't think you will be disappointed.

This was one of the better ones. One that wasn't trying too hard to be "noir". The story was interesting thoughout.

Subject: First Rate, Minus
This film is First Rate; but it seems to have been treated as something less, because it was not very well preserved, yet close enough to make the grade of an excellent half of a Friday night matinee at home, alone with Tabby Cat Mieux. You should not regret spending your hour with PMM -- and seeing that it's where Raymond Burr finally found his forte, the experience is well worth it indeed. Not going to say a word more!

pretty good! enjoyable to see the femme fatale angela in all her glory!
billbarstad -
Subject: Ho hum
Raymond Burr plays a very Perry Mason character in this unremarkable melodrama. I watched through to the end just to see how the twist in the plot worked out. I wasn't surprised.
I downloaded the MPEG1 file. The video track is fine, though there are many missing frames. The audio track varies, but is of poor quality overall.

Raymond Burr's career on televison in "PerryMason".

Great movie, not as good as D.O.A. but on the same noir. A little long that's why I give it 4 stars.

SEATTLE - Activists and fast food workers in Seattle joined a global movement Thursday by going on strike and demanding corporations raise the minimum wage to $15-per-hour.
The global day of action was planned across 33 countries and more than 150 U.S. cities.
The group of about 60 activists with Working Washington in Seattle walked from Cal Anderson Park to the IHOP restaurant on Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood where they demonstrated and joined a couple of IHOP workers who walked off the job.
"It's important. It's worth not getting paid today. I make minimum wage $9.32 an hour and I have two kids. It's tough," said Larkin Potts.
The group plans to visit various fast food restaurants and establishments where they'll meet up with striking workers. Their final destination is a large rally at Westlake Park at 4:00 p.m.
Strike goes nationwide
NEW YORK — Hundreds of fast food workers walked off their jobs in dozens of U.S. cities on Thursday -- reportedly forcing at least a few locations to temporarily close or re-staff while mostly managers filled-in -- as sympathetic protesters in several dozen countries joined in a united call for wages of $15 an hour and the right to form a union.
No violence was reported early Thursday. Restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and KFC are being targeted. The strike, targeting the $200 billion fast-food industry at a time of intense competition, is aimed at directing consumer attention to the low wages of most fast-food workers. The one-day campaign continues protests launched 18 months ago.
Strikers claim that managers opted to briefly close down a Burger King in Dorchester, Mass, where a some workers were striking, but Burger King spokesman Alix Salyers insists that store was never closed. While McDonald's officials insist that no McDonald's restaurants have been closed anywhere due to the strike, protesters insist that several have.
In New York City, dozens of workers stood outside a McDonald's nearby Penn Station demanding higher wages and the right to form a union. Protesters partially blocked some entrances to the restaurant where they stalled, but did not halt, sales.
Naquasia LeGrand, 22, of Brooklyn, says this was her sixth strike since 2012. She has worked as a cashier at Kentucky Fried Chicken for three years in Park Slope, an affluent neighborhood in Brooklyn. She makes $8 an hour and pays $1,300 a month for her apartment. She says fast food workers all over are struggling to survive. "We live in New York City--a multi-billion dollar city," she said. "These corporations are taking everything from us. They are making all this money. It's only right that we (workers) come together."
Dijon Thornton, 22, a cashier, has worked at a Wendy's in Harlem for the last year and a half. On Thursday morning, he walked out of work as the store was readying to serve breakfast. For him, the decision was about asking for respect, in the form of better pay. He says that paying him $8 an hour is like "spitting in my face."
The strike's organizer says that the fast-food giants have the money to pay reasonable wages. "At the end of the day, there is more than enough money to pay these workers $15 an hour," says Kendall Fells, the 34-year-old organizer of Fast Food Forward, who marched with protesters in New York on Thursday. Two-thirds of the the workers are women -- and most of them have children, he says. "They're just trying to support their families and makes ends meet."
Fast Food Forward is financed by Service Employees International Union, a union group with more than two million members.
In Europe, Lorenz Keller, who works for the Swiss trade union Unia, said that members from his group were protesting outside several McDonald's branches in Zurich and would soon start actions in Geneva.
Banner-waving activists in New Zealand were the first to hit the streets Thursday, as they protested outside a McDonald's in Auckland.
In the Philippines,young protesters held a singing and dancing flash mob inside a McDonald's on Manila's Quezon Avenue during the morning rush-hour.
In Japan, where protests were planned in 30 cities, co-organizer Manabu Natori failed to find a Ronald costume in time, but was encouraged by the public response to a protest for a higher minimum wage, held outside a downtown Tokyo McDonald's.
"We do this kind of demonstration every month, but there was a huge difference today as people don't walk by but stop to listen," said Natori, 41, a staff member of the National Confederation of Trade Unions, a left-wing labor federation.
About 80% of McDonald's global restaurants are independently owned and operated by small business owners, said Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem, a McDonald's spokeswoman, in a statement. "McDonald's respects our employees' right to voice their opinions and to protest lawfully and peacefully. If employees participate in these activities, they are welcomed back and scheduled to work their regular shifts."
One U.S. Chamber of Commerce official says the protest is a sham. "These union-produced, made-for-media protests have repeatedly failed to gain support from more than a handful of actual workers," said vice president Glenn Spencer, in a statement.
For workers and organizers of the strike, the media attention on a global basis is huge.
"The Occupy Movement is not dead," says Witold Henisz, management professor at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. "I'm forecasting a period of tension and political activism over what's fair and what's right."

Dec. 10, 2010 -- Oral contraceptives account for just 1% of the estrogen found in our drinking water supply, according to a new report in Environmental Science & Technology.
Reports of intersex fish, including male fish with some female characteristics, led to widespread concerns about female hormones leaching into the nation's water supply. Some suspected that estrogen from birth control pills excreted in urine may be a significant contributor, but the new study exonerates birth control pills as a main source of estrogen in our drinking supply. Instead, agricultural sources such as livestock waste, soy and dairy foods, and other pharmaceuticals are among the main culprits.
"When you take a birth control pill, whatever is excreted goes through a treatment plant, so only a very minimal amount reaches the drinking water," says study author Tracey Woodruff, PhD, MPH, an associate professor and director of University of California-San Francisco's Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment. Unlike human urine, cow urine is not treated before it enters our water supply.
This is not to say that hormones in the drinking water are not contributing to human health problems, including breast cancer, early puberty, and other reproductive issues, she says.
"There are a lot of other sources that we should be concerned about," Woodruff says. Hormone replacement therapy and other drugs also contribute hormones to the drinking supply, she says. But "improvements in drug delivery systems so we use lower doses can help minimize the amount that gets into our water supply."
Woodruff and colleagues analyzed the main sources of estrogen in the drinking water supply. They found that waste water treatment systems remove most of the estrogen found in birth control pills so it never reaches the drinking water. Soy and dairy products and animal waste contribute far more estrogen to the water supply than do oral contraceptives.
What's more, it's not just women who excrete hormones in their urine. Men and children excrete hormones in their urine, she says.
Kirsten Moore,president and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based Reproductive Health Technologies Project, a national nonprofit group advocating for contraceptive and reproductive choices, says "the good news is that estrogen from birth control pills is not the big concern that some media reports have made it out to be."
"There is reason to be concerned about the estrogenicity of drinking water, but the role that birth control pills play is minimal," Moore tells WebMD.
Cleaning up the water supply should take priority. "We would like to see more solutions in place like improving water treatments to eliminate some of the sources of estrogen that are making it into the water supply."
Jeff Stier, a senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative think tank, points out that this study does not tell us anything about the potential health effects of trace hormones in the water, and that it needs to be viewed through that lens.
"This is not a study that says that traces of estrogen in drinking water causes human reproductive health problems," he says. "There is no body of scientific evidence which leads to the conclusion that trace levels of hormones in drinking water are a contributor to human health problems, be they from pharmaceuticals or other sources."

Strengths: Looks cool, pretty welds, rides great, EBB just works
Weaknesses: Stickers. Downtube clearance issues.
Bottom Line:
It isn't completely perfect though....
I wish the stickers were clearcoated b/c they tear easily.
The biggest problem I had was with downtube clearance -- I had to modify my fork to clear. I think they may have remedied this with newer models. When I bought my frame, gussets were an option, so 80mm is the max travel that can be used. This, however, is not a problem for me, as 80mm is my preference.
The paint color (Superdust) looks cool, but the paint doesn't compare to the IF. This is not a surprise at all, so I wouldn't count it against the Ventana.
The EBB works well, has not budged and is a clean solution. No complaints there.
Whether it's design or the 29 inch wheels, I can't say, but this bike rides better than any hardtail I've tried. It's so smooth over terrain that I swear it reminds me of riding full suspension. There isn't a trace of harshness, contrary to conventional wisdom about Al frames. To top it off, this is probably the stiffest frame I've ridden, with tremendous efficiency and control.
The combo of a stiff frame, 29 wheels and perfect geometry adds up to bike that makes you feel invincible. This is the only hardtail that is as fun to ride as a FS with greater efficiency and quickness than any FS could ever hope to match.

Apologies for not joining sooner. Time does get away from one, as I did attend TeslaCon 2. More importantly, what a marvelous weekend TeslaCon 3 was. Thank you for a most memorable trip to the Moon. Looking forward to the continued fun in just over 10 months!
NOTE: as of the end of July 2012, all of the discussion forums above are referring to the 2011 event.
Lord Bobbins is recovering from surgery at the moment, so some postings on www.teslacon.com may be delayed.
Do not forget the chocolate bars and graham crackers with those toasted marshmallows!
I hope all is going according to plan. Just giving a look see, Stingy Old Boy! Your wife is still alive and well as you saw her for her reprieve. Make good on your end of the bargain and I won't make your country a smoldering pit to melt those tasty heated marshmallow-y delights over.
The next Steampunk Garb & Prop Day will be Saturdnay, Feb. 11, 2012. Location is 2705 N Shepard Avenue, Milwaukee, WI. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. Bring your creativity, ideas, works in progress and your sense of fun and adventure. We aloways have a good time hanging out and helping each other.
Greetings Gentlepeople!
The Art Walk and Tea at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee yesterday (01.14.12) was a fun time for all of us. Got to know some neat new people and enjoyed a delicious tea. For more description and a link to my Facebook page where the pictures are posted check out my blog: http://steamphoenix.wordpress.com/
How splendidly decent of the doctor to allow you to join your husband for the New Year's celebrations. I regret that I will not be in attendance due to some pressing matters at Bisham Abbey.
It appears that there has been some setback in the development of my engineer's aether flyer and I must be there to make certain the right parts are delivered this time.
Wishing you and Lord Bobbins a delightful and Happy New Years. May things turn out as Lord Bobbins hopes they will for the voyage to the moon. I look forward to joining that trip.
Lady Terresa Hoby
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have convinced my gracious host to allow me a temporary leave from his delightful company and will be at Bramberly Hall on New Year's Eve. I have given my word that I will return to him the following day because I know how important the gem is to the successful launch next November of the rocket to the moon. If I break my word and do not return, he will not give Hastings the gem that is essential to the guidance system.
Looking forward to see you at Bramberly in 2 weeks.
Bella Bushnell Hunley
Lady Bobbins

Ayoreo people
Ayoreo parrot feather ornament worn
down the back, AMNH
|Total population
|4,300 (2009)[1]
|Regions with significant populations
|1,826 (2002)[2]
|Ayoreo language
|traditional religion, Christianity[1]
The Ayoreo (Ayoreode,[4] Ayoréo, Ayoréode) are an indigenous people of the Gran Chaco.[5][6] They live in an area surrounded by the Paraguay, Pilcomayo, Parapetí, and Grande Rivers, spanning both Bolivia and Paraguay. Ayoreo combine hunter-gatherer lifestyle with farming, depending on the season of the year. There are records about a kind of shamanism (nainai, shaman).[7][8]
The Ayorea people are known by numerous names including Ayoré, Garaygosode, Guarañoca, Guidaigosode, Koroino, Moro, Morotoco, Poturero, Pyeta Yovai, Samococio, Sirákua, Takrat, Totobiegosode, and Yanaigua.[1]
They speak the Ayoreo language, which is classified under Zamucoan, a small language family of Paraguay and Bolivia. A grammar and dictionary have been published for the language, and 20% of the Ayoreo are literate. Tsiracua is a dialect of Ayoreo.[1]
There are several subgroups, for example Totobiegosode were isolated, but many of them have been eventually relocated forcibly, while some remnants still keep avoiding contact.[9] Some groups still live uncontacted (or in voluntary isolation),[10][11] being the only extant uncontacted tribes in South America not living in the Amazon.[12] The Ayoreo are threatened by deforestation.[13]
In 2010, an expedition in search of new species of plants and insects, organised by the Natural History Museum in London, was suspended when concerns were raised that Ayoreo people might be encountered and disturbed.[14]
Political representation[edit]
In Bolivia, the Ayoreo people are represented by the organization CANOB (Central Ayoreo Nativo del Oriente Boliviano). In 2002 an Ayoreo organization was founded in Paraguay, UNAP (Unión Nativa Ayoreo del Paraguay). CANOB has its main office in Santa Cruz de la Sierra whilst UNAP has its headquarters at the frontier between the Campo Loro and Ebetogué regions.[15]

On the one hand, Godavari Sugar Mills Ltd will use the viagra cheapest fiber to make ethanol. The project hopes to be able to scale up from demonstration size to commercial size within a few years, processing about 5,000 tons of the best place best price on cialis bagasse within four years, but they don't state how much ethanol they plan to propecia mexico make with it. GSML also wants to make items like paper, cardboard, textiles, water-soluble adhesives, cements, dyes – even L-lactic acid – and other items from the waste to help make the facility viable. In other words, they don't feel they'll make very much from ethanol production. It's the high-grade cellulose, lignin and www.peseta.org hemicellulose derived from bagasse that will be the money makers.
Getting as much product and profit from sugarcane in both its edible and nonedible forms is the exact way we can make crops stretch and hopefully reduce the amount of the earth's resources used to make various products.

I love ideas that deal with two problems at once. Here's it's dealing with waste and our need for green energy.
I read recently of a Hawaiian power plant that has converted to using people's garbage (food matter) to produce power. An excellent story.
Now sugar may be used for fuel - wonderful. Especially as India is just try! viagra and diarrhea a growing nation - both in population and demand for a modern lifestyle. It's going to need all the viagra discounts help it can get power-wise. This would be a major step in the right direction.

Due out this fall, the next installment in the popular Skylanders franchise will feature characters that have swappable tops and bottoms.
Pricing not available
The sci-fi shooter isn't close to selling as fast as titles from existing franchises like Grand Theft Auto, but for a nonsequel, it's humming right along.
Destiny is a victim of the hype machine created around it. It's a refined console shooter that feels great during the action, but goes stale during just about every other component of the game.
The video game made by the team behind Halo is off to a strong start -- but questions still remain.
The minds behind Halo, one of the most successful game franchises ever made, hope to strike it again with a massive new game being bankrolled in part by Activision Blizzard.
The first-person shooter won't be available for the Wii U but is headed to the Xbox One and PS4, says the game's developer.
For the first time, the game giant will launch a top-tier console title on a tablet at the same time it's coming out for consoles made by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Skylanders toys will, of course, join the fray.
Microsoft and Sony announce new game console features, Alienware demos a PC that acts like a console, and the new Skylanders Trap Team game doesn't even require a console -- just a tablet.
The video game maker sails past expectations as it gears up to deliver the sci-fi shooter Destiny, its most expensive title to date.
Former Panama dictator claims his likeness was used for "economic gain" by Activision in the 2012 first-person shooter.

Boise, ID (Sports Network) - Joe Southwick threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns as the Boise State Broncos buried the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, 60-7, in non-conference action at Bronco Stadium.
Southwick completed all but four of his 23 pass attempts for the Broncos (3-2) and survived three sacks as the team won for the third time in the last four outings. Seven different players scored touchdowns for Boise State, including Matt Miller who caught five passes for a game-high 107 yards.
The Golden Eagles (0-4), who haven't won a game since December 2011, were led by quarterback Allan Bridgford who hit on 18-of-30 pass attempts for 143 yards and a score, but he was also picked off twice in the lopsided defeat.
Shane Williams-Rhodes got the scoring started with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter when he crossed the goal line on a 10-yard run for the Broncos. Kicker Dan Goodale added a 33-yard field goal early in the second for Boise State to give the hosts a double-digit advantage.
The lone score for Southern Miss came shortly thereafter when Bridgford combined with Marquise Ricard on a five-yard touchdown pass play, but from there the game belonged to the Broncos as they ripped off 50 unanswered points.
The run began with a 42-yard touchdown strike from Southwick to Geraldo Boldewijn, followed by another Southwick TD pass, this one to Williams-Rhodes from 14 yards out. With just over a minute remaining in the first half, Jay Ajayi hit the end zone on a four-yard run, but a failed PAT left the hosts with a 30-7 advantage at the break.
Southwick threw his third TD of the night to Miller, an 18-yard effort with 10:10 remaining in the third frame. Goodale added a 26-yard field goal and backup quarterback Grant Hedrick contributed a two-yard TD run later in the third to make the score 47-7.
A six-yard TD run by Jack Fields and a seven-yard score by Charles Bertoli finished off the night, although Goodale did have a PAT blocked following the final touchdown.
The Broncos, who held USM to just 2-of-13 on third down, generated 545 yards of total offense in the meeting.
The Golden Eagles entered the weekend tied with New Mexico State for the longest losing streak in the nation at 15 in a row. The Aggies bowed to San Diego State on Saturday night, 26-16, which means both teams remained tied for the longest slide heading into the month of October.

Meet Princess Sujei, a Female Mexican Wrestler with Passion, Pride and Determination
Meet Princess Sujei, a Female Mexican Wrestler with Passion, Pride and Determination
When someone thinks of the most successful wrestlers in Mexico, the mind conjures images of modern day giants, men with superhero physiques and costumes to match. However, it might come as a surprise that one of the most famous wresters in Mexico does not fit this description.
Her name is Princess Sujei and she is an enmascarada - meaning she always appears wearing a mask. She trains for hours everyday to be at her peak condition for the carefully choreographed battles. She is the ruler of the Mexico Arena, a place she describes as the greatest school of feminine wrestling in the world. However, don't tell the Princess that wrestling is merely pretend.
Princess Sujei has a metal plate in one foot and once badly broke her ankle during a match. Her scars are proof that wrestling is a contact sport, and not harmless acting. Yet, it is not the physical demands of the sport that Princess Sujei had to overcome.
"I dreamed about being a wrestler, but I never imagined I would get this far. When I started training I was the only woman amongst 25 men."
Wrestling is a world dominated by men, nevertheless Sujei believes she has proven her worth by showing the men that she is more than capable of competing at their level, both inside and outside the ring.
Masked wrestling is hugely popular in Mexico, but in the past women fighters faced a struggle for recognition, but not Sujei, this Mexican wrestler has shown that wrestling superstardom can be attained through handwork and a will to succeed.
"I am doing something I love, I am exercising and I am winning. When I go to work I wear my mask, but when I leave the ring it's just me, a normal person again."

Managing Gout In The Lower Extremity
Initial attacks of gout often affect the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ). Accordingly, this author discusses the differential diagnosis of lower extremity gout, keys to managing acute attacks and how to get a handle on the disease's metabolic causes. He also discusses current and emerging pharmaceutical options for treating the disease.
Gout is a metabolic condition characterized by excessive levels of serum urate. The consensus is that a serum urate level above 6.0 mg/dL, the saturation point of urate in biological fluids, is the cause of gout.

Helping Patients Fly Into The Sunset At The End Of Life
I have been an unemployed podiatrist for four months since my retirement in December 2008. After almost 34 years of loving my work, I turned the practice over to my partner and a new associate.
Retirement was the carrot I chased for so many years. The first weeks were like magic and then I got bored.
I checked the job board at the hospital to see if my skills matched any positions. They did not. There seemed to be no call for used podiatrists.

Platelet Rich Plasma: Can It Have An Impact For Tendinosis And Plantar Fasciosis?
The use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections in the treatment of fasciosis and tendinosis about the foot and ankle is a fairly recent and evolving concept. The idea behind such injections is quite simple and has been well studied in the literature.
The concept is that there is a loss of inflammatory response and chronic scar formation with fascia and tendon injuries. The proper terms for such injuries are fasciosis and tendinosis rather than the more commonly used terms of fasciitis and tendonitis. In fasciitis and tendonitis cases, there is good blo

A Closer Look At The Future Of Total Ankle Arthroplasty
While total joint replacement has been successful in the shoulder, the hip and the knee, we have not seen similar success with total ankle replacement in the past.
Initial reports on total ankle replacements were promising in 1979.1 However, long-term follow-up studies painted a different picture as many failures and poor survivorship of the implants led many authors to abandon the procedure in favor of arthrodesis as it had more predictable results and fewer complications.2-4

Hartnell College Child Development Centers Accredited by National Organization
March 29th, 2004
The Hartnell College Child Development Centers have been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the nation's leading organization of early childhood professionals.
Both facilities - located at the college's main campus (411 Central Ave.) and at Hartnell's East Campus (1752 E. Alisal St). - will celebrate the accreditation as well as the Week of the Young Child at a special open house on Saturday, April 24, from 1-4 p.m.
"We're proud to be accredited by NAEYC, and recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards," said Linda Taylor, director of Hartnell's child care development centers. "Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our programs are getting the best care and early learning experiences."
Taylor explained that the facility on the main campus was reaccredited, and the new facility at Hartnell's east campus was accredited for the first time.
The child development centers at Hartnell provide free preschool for up to 180 children per year. The three-hour-per-day programs provide three and four year old children an enriching curriculum based on State Department of Education's pre-kindergarten learning and development guidelines.
Commenting on the accreditation, Mark Ginsberg, executive director of NAEYC, said, "By earning accreditation, the child development centers at Hartnell College have become leaders in a national effort to raise the quality of early childhood education, and to help give all children a better start."
NAEYC created its accreditation program in 1985 to set professional standards for early childhood education, and to help families identify high-quality child care and early education programs.
For more information, call Linda Taylor at (831) 755-6946.

LG's 60PN6900 may be the top-of the range plasma for the company but misses out on many features present in the LCD range.
Pricing not available
The Panasonic S64 series of plasma TVs, limited to two screen sizes and select retailers, represents as good as value as the ST60 and S60 models.
Pricing not available
The LG 60PH6700 offers plenty of extras and a mostly good picture but the plasma competition is a little too fierce.
The Samsung F5500 plasma offers great features and very good picture quality, but its performance suffers significantly under the lights.
For those who can afford it, the Panasonic TC-PZT60 comes closer than any TV yet to picture-quality perfection.
Pricing not available
The Panasonic VT60 has one of the best pictures of any TV we've ever reviewed, and matches the best-ever in dark rooms.
Samsung's best-performing TV ever, the PNF8500 series pushes the plasma picture quality envelope, especially in bright rooms.
The Panasonic TC-PS60 plasma TV's low price, high-end picture quality, and bare-bones Smarts make it one of the best values we've ever seen.
The company's 2013 plasma lineup is pared down, but at least it still exists.
Pricing not available
The LG PA6500 is a decent plasma television if you'll have nothing less than 1080p for cheap, but it's not the best value at this level.
