A Springfield man and his roommates are out of cash after a thief posing as a delivery man ripped them off at their South Shore Drive home.
The victim, who didn't want his name to be public, told CBS 3 a person dressed as a delivery driver showed up at his door and asked to come inside.
The man said he had a package to deliver and he wanted $139 in a delivery fee. The suspect asked to use the man's bathroom and on his way out grabbed a pocketbook full of cash.
The suspect had a red jacket on that said "Delivery Express" on it.
Police say residents should never let delivery drivers into their homes.

-- Robert Preidt
SATURDAY, July 2 (HealthDay News) -- Staying hydrated is
critical if you're physically active in hot weather.
But individuals have different hydration needs, so you need to
assess your personal sweat rate, according to Brendon McDermott at
the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
"Sweat rate is very simple to calculate: weigh yourself before exercise, with as little clothing as possible; exercise for half an hour and don't drink or use the bathroom for that half hour; weigh yourself again, wearing the same amount of clothing to see how much you've lost," he explained in a university news release.
If you've lost a pound, for example, that translates to about 16
ounces of fluid that you'll need to replace. Sports organizations
suggest dividing your total by four to see how much water you need
to drink every fifteen minutes while exercising to replace your
lost fluids.
When exercising in hot weather, you should be well-hydrated when
you begin your exercise and fluids should be readily accessible
during your activity. Don't wait until you feel parched before you
drink, because the thirst mechanism isn't triggered until you're
two percent dehydrated, said McDermott, assistant professor,
clinical coordinator for graduate athletic training program and
co-director of the applied physiology laboratory.
Having cool fluids on hand may encourage your to drink during
activity in hot weather. If you're playing sports or exercising for
longer than an hour, you may require sports drinks.
You can also monitor your hydration status by a tried-and-true
method: checking the color of your urine.
"It should have a light yellow tinge to it. Lemonade is much better than apple juice. And if you're delving into the ice tea realm, it's time to drink," said McDermott, who noted that it's normal to have darker urine in the morning.
After your activity, it's important to rehydrate as soon as
possible within 30 minutes, he advised.

Updated: An additional announcement from the Office of Media Relations relayed the following:
The below pursuit began at approximately 12:35 p.m. after the State Police Barracks in Weston received calls of an erratic vehicle travelling eastbound in the Weston area. A check of the provided license plate revealed the car to be stolen. A trooper observed and attempted to stop the car. The operator refused to stop and accelerated in an attempt to flee. After a brief pursuit the operator lost control of the car and crashed. He was taken into custody. The suspect suffered minor injuries. The investigation is ongoing. We will provide more information when available and appropriate.
Original Article:
One person is in custody following a high-speed pursuit that ended with a collision with another vehicle near Exit 15 of the Mass Pike.
According to Massachusetts State Police Twitter reports, an "erractic operator" who failed to stop on the Pike has been arrested near the Charles River Bridge at the Weston/Newton border. Police are currently investigating whether the car was stolen.
Other Twitter reports indicate that the suspect and the driver of the vehicle with which the suspect collided sustained minor injuries and both cars will be towed. Reports indicate the suspect was not wearing seatbelt and sustained some facial cuts from the airbag in the crash.
The Office of Media Relations for the Massachusetts State Police released the following preliminary report:
A short time ago Massachusetts State Police units assigned to Troop E pursued an erratic operator, who had failed to stop for police on the Massachusetts Turnpike, Route 90, eastbound, in the Weston/Newton area. The operator is under arrest. We have no further details at this time and will update when appropriate.

He looks about 12 years old, and his slouched over skating style suggests an old man stooped over from age and wear. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins proves looks can be deceiving. A very smart hockey man spent about 20 minutes with me right after the 2011 entry draft trying to tell me the good things about the Nuge. I was prattling on about point totals and equivalencies and he was talking about elusiveness, edges, anticipation and intelligence. Well, I might have a few faults but I do have a good memory. And now, I get it. The Nuge is special.
I'm impressed with RNH at the WJ's, he isn't getting monster ice time but is productive (goal and a post yesterday, and some sublime defensive play including a third period item that was incredible–and overlooked) and saying all the right things. I do like that line he's on, wonder if Steve Tambellini can grab those two guys for the future.
Me too! Nail Yakupov is under a lot of pressure–you can tell because his normal effective passing hasn't been consistent this week–but there's a lot of spine in this kid and it is hard not to cheer for him. I always cheer for Canada, but a well played game with plenty of highlight moments from the two #1′s (we're spoiled as fans, you know. Not in an "Oilers sure know what they're doing" kind of way, but in a watershed #1 pick cluster kind of way) will be just fine no matter the score.
I hope Yakupov has his head up, there are some stone cold killers on the blue and a couple of head hunters up front for Canada (not that Canada is dirty). The Russians usually get their defense exposed in these bigger games, that's where I'd look for weakness although imo they had a nice game against the Americans (better than Canada did, btw).
Its about this time in these tournaments that I begin to feel bad for some of these kids. If you're the goalie for Latvia, or Germany, I hope your country sends you on an all expense paid trip to a Keystone beer commercial. You deserve it, young men. In that way, the WJ's is a pretty heartless tournament.

Since a few of you asked for smoothie recipes, I thought I'd do a post about Smoothies. I have a some hints about techniques and some "tricks" I use to make my shakes fulfilling AND filling.
First off I want to mention that my shakes are either my breakfast, or a tide-me-over-so-I-don't-eat-my-arm tool. Therefore I do try to get as much fluffy bang for my calorie buck as physically possible. In other words...low cal, but very filling. My shakes NEVER exceed 350 cals, period. Usually they are under 250 or even less, before I add the toppings (infinite possibilities there), and they are enormous. I can give you some ideas if you want to beef up your shakes but my shakes are pretty much huge fluffy containers of air, ice and poofy protein. Often they are like two shakes rather than one- they are that voluminous.
I'll make my morning/breakfast smoothie and stick it in the freezer while I have a pre-shake green drink that is really more of a juice (recipe another time) - and my coffee. If I have time, I'll eat one of the smoothies with a spoon out of a bowl- with a topping and some nut butter. If I'm running out the door for a class, then the shakes go with me in a couple of to-go containers in a cooler and they get consumed before and after my workout, depending on my hunger level. They fill me up and satisfy me. They wouldn't do the same for everyone- so modify as you see fit!
Don't get scared but my shakes usually contain some or all of the following:
- Water
- Protein powder
- Thickening Gums
- Stevia
- Sugar-Free Fat-Free Pudding (just a sprinkle)
- Fruit or even veggies (Kale, red bell pepper)
- Nut Butter (optional, and often used as a topping on a spoon)
- Flavor Extract (a few drops)
- Crystal Light (a samll sprinkle)
- Sugar-Free Torani Syrup
- Ice- usually almost as much volume as water
- extras like cooked, then frozen wheatberries, or cacao nibs
Water and ice
I use a lot of both- this is what gives me the volume. I'd say I use about 2 cups of water and a good handful of ice cubes. This makes about 2 fluffy, air-filled shakes. To make them more dense and creamy, cut back on both ice and water. Hint: If it gets too icy, add a bit more guar gum and perhaps a tiny bit of xanthan (see below).
Many people like to use a different liquid... some thoughts: milk, soy milk, almond milk, kefir, yogurt, greek yogurt, buttermilk, rice milk, coconut milk, hemp milk. Skies-the-limits.
Protein Powder
Truth be known I'm a protein powder hussy. I don't have a particular favorite and I buy whatever is on sale. My only requirement is for it to be low in carbs as I'd rather eat my carbs elsewhere (hello popcorn or fruit!). I usually have on hand at any given time: Vanilla Whey, Vanilla Soy, Chocolate Whey, Chocolate Soy, A flavored Whey (like chocolate peanut butter etc).
I love the HMR powder I used years ago. I also like Jay Robb whey (thanks Heabs for the packets!) as it's nice and fluffy. Also Skinny Mini is a favorite and happens to be soy chocolate. Many people opt to go au natural and skip the powders. I buy them because I've got it ingrained in my head that they are a good source of protein (they supposedly have all of the amino acids and other goodies that the experts recommend for muscle recovery etc) and they do fluff up really nicely.
There are a zillion types of protein powders out there- Heabs also sent me some Rice Protein and while it's good in oats and warm things, I didn't love it in the shake. Also, there's hemp protein, brazil nut protein, the list goes on and on. Peruse the health food store for ideas.
I am a huge fan of xanthan gum (XG) and guar gum (GG) for getting the right consistency of the shakes. In my experience, XG makes shakes thicker and GG makes it creamier. But it is the synergistic effect of adding the two together that makes the magic occur. Now, you should check out the links to Wikepedia that I provided so you can familiarize yourself with these gums. They originate from sugars in some way, and sometimes cause GI upset, though that's never been a problem for me. They are used in millions of products- next time you're at the store- try reading some labels (ice creams, salad dressings, powders, the works)- I think you'll be surprised how prevalent they are! Some of you may opt out at this point- that's ok!
Basically you need very little XG and twice the amount of GG. Again, this is my experience. And I don't measure them! I just sprinkle and shake. However once I measured out of curiosity and it was about 1/4 tsp of XG and 1/2 tsp of GG for one GINORMOUS shake or two normal sized shakes. A WORD OF CAUTION: There is a point of no-return with the XG however- if you add too much, it becomes a gelatinous blob and must go down the sink- OR can be saved by diluting the heck out of it and doubling the amount. Trust me folks- there's a lot of trial and error, but it's worth it in my opinion.
If you cannot or do not want to use the gums, your best bet is adding a frozen banana.
I'm currently on the fence about Stevia. After years of despising the taste and using Splenda, I finally grew to like the powdered stevia I found at Trader Joe's. However, I know there's controversy about it (as with EVERYTHING)...and it is sooooo sweet. Some people add absolutely no sweeteners to their shakes. Often the fruit provides enough sweetness.
Truth be known, I don't use much fruit inside my shakes anymore as I'd rather use it as a topping or eat it later in the day with yogurt. However, frozen rhubarb - while a bit tart - makes for a fluffy, thicker shake and I use it in all of my "fruity" shakes. I buy fresh organic rhubarb and cut it up and stick it in the freezer, where I will take a huge handful for each shake. You can use any kind of fruit- but I recommend that it is cut up and frozen.
If you do use frozen bananas, cut back on the gums or the smoothie will get too thick. In fact one of the BEST, life-changing recipes floating in the Blogosphere is Banana soft serve "ice cream" made by just putting frozen nannerz in a food processor for like 4 minutes, scraping it down- til it magically becomes "ICE CREAM"- amazing. There are some carby wondrous properties that bananas inherently possess - this is what helps them make smoothies so fabulous.
Nut Butters
The only nut butters strong enough to impart flavor when incorporated into a smoothie (ie you can actualy taste it) are peanut and sunflower. Personally, I now only consume nut butters on the spoon with which I'm eating my smoothie.
Puddings, Extracts, Evil Flavorings with terrible chemicals
I am trying to approach this with some balance. I use VERY little of each of these items-- we're talking a sprinkle or a few drops- they really do add flavor and for me, they make a difference. In a perfect world, I would use alternative flavorings. For example, instead of the Crystal Light I might try Pom juice, concentrated Cranberry or Blueberry juice. When I run out of the chocolate pudding, I'll use a cocoa or carob powder. However, sugar-free pudding flavors like Cheesecake, Butterscotch, and Pistachio are a bit harder to replace- not to mention Banana Cream! I'm not too concerned about the extracts. I use so little and they really do add flavor. For me, it works. Almond extract works great to enhance a peanut butter flavor.
Torani Syrups:
I am going to relinquish my massive Torani Collection as I run out. Really I am. As I use so little of it every time, that might occur when I'm 87. If you have any of these, you will probably want to use them, but if you don't have them- please don't start.
Extras, not including toppings:
OK here's where it can get interesting. In my opinion the extras can make or break the shake. I LOVE to have a little bit of "chew" in my shake. And cooked, frozen wheat berries (or oat groats or spelt berries- any cooked large-sized grain)- fits the bill. Also, Cacao nibs are super yummy and crunchy for very few calories. However- VITAMIX PEOPLE...Do not obliterate these guys on high speed or you will not be able to get the fun crunch/chew factor. Chia seeds can also be added but as many of you know, you can't really taste them- they get lost in the mix. You can add flax seeds and other things too. Sadly, I find that nuts get lost in the mix too- unless you chop them and stir them gently in. I'd save them for the topping in your bowl.
A word about the magic of Ice Cube Trays-
For all of those kids out there like me with an old-school fridge, ice cube trays rock the house. You can freeze anything and everything, and if it's Smoothie-friendly- all the better. I've frozen canned pumpkin and made pumpkin pie smoothies (with pumkin pie spice, vanilla powder etc). You can freeze every kind of milk in trays: coconut, soy, almond. I even freeze regular milk and have done so for YEARS, as my Mom did before me. Use your imagination and if you're headed out of town and those liquids would otherwise be tossed, why not freeze them and give them a new lease on life?
OK. I'm exhausted from hearing myself babble on about smoothies. Now I want to hear YOUR thoughts and brilliant ideas.
Oh, before I go, here's my favorite standard, every-day, go-to shake:
The PB&J Smoothie:
- 1-2 cups water or other liquid
- scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 tsp GG
- 1/4 tsp XG
- few drops almond extract
- scant splash Sugarfree Torani (crack) Peanut Butter syrup
- sprinkle vanilla sugar-free fat free pudding
- handful rhubarb mixed berries to taste: strawberries mainly, plus sprinkle of raspberries, blue- and blackberries
- 1/2 to 1 T (or more) of Peanut Butter
- sprinkle of Crystal Light in Raspberry Ice flavor to taste
- 1+ cup of ice.
Let it bring you back to the days when you wore knee socks and opened up your Scooby-Doo Lunch Pail after Mrs. Abbott dismissed you for lunch...mmmm....Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Photographs from the Archive
Photographs from the Archive
The photographs shown below are from a 1935-1936 expedition to a remote area of eastern Tibet, record the adventures of 25 year old John Hanbury-Tracy and 26 year old Ronald Kaulback. With the backing of the British Royal Geographical Society, they went in search of the source of the Salween, one of the great rivers of Asia that originates in Tibet.
At the time, on maps, the upper course of the Salween was an immense blank space. Among the first Europeans to enter this area, for two years they had no contact with the outside world as they traveled across a rough and unforgiving terrain. Although they did not succeed in reaching the Salween's origin due to impending war, they mapped 25,000 square miles and brought back specimens of plant and insect life for the British Museum of Natural History.
Their photographs bring to life impressions of local villages, the river's rope bridges, sturdy yaks, and the people of the upper Salween valley. Hanbury-Tracy, who died in 1971, published the story of his journey in his Black River of Tibet in 1938. Kaulback also published his tale, a 1938 book, Salween. Their accounts and photographs record aspects of Tibetan culture now lost through political and cultural transformation of the region. Many of these photographs, donated to the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art by Sir Bryan Frasi were included in the Museum's 2005 exhibit, Exploring Tibet: In Search of the Salween.

Hi everyone,
I have been inspired to start a sketchbook of my adventure to learn how to draw, paint, illustrate, and reproduce all these pictures and visual ideas I have in my head, by MindCandyMan's sketchbook, http://http://www.conceptart.org/for...read.php?t=870.
I am a beginner, so any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
I am going to draw everyday and post it up here. I am currently in a location that has really slow, intermittent internet, so it might take me a few days to post my new stuff sometimes, but, I will draw every day.
So here it goes...
The first page from my sketchbook included some Loomis heads drawn from looking at the book, and the a potted plant and Buddha head statue from life, and then some figure movement from imagination, using a technique from one of the books I am reading.
The second page is just drawing basic shapes and how to give them volume, some more figure stuff from the book I am studying right now, and then I drew my eye from looking in a mirror....That needs lots of work!
The third page..the two male heads were drawn from my imagination, and the other is a self-portrait, though it looks nothing like me, the heads all messed up, and...yeah...but I guess for a first attempt, at least it looks like a person. : )
P.S. Does anyone know how to get the attachments to have some space between them?

The other day my friend gave me a vase of daffodils, and I thought I would draw them. Earlier, I had been looking at some art work done in charcoal and pastel, and I really liked it. So, I drew the flowers in charcoal and then colored them with soft pastels. Afterwards, I thought the flowers didn't pop enough, so I decided to add a purple-blue background, and decided to do it with with watercolors, since I hadn't ever used them...make it a "try different media" piece...So I did a wash of red, and the dish a wash of blue over that...to get the purple...but then I decide to texture the background, so I grabbed my sponge and started dabbing at the paper...and you can see the result.
A couple things I learned from doing this:
1) fix the charcoal first because it smudged into the pastels in places and muddied the color.
2) Let the watercolor dry a little more before trying to texture it, because I ended up removing a lot of the blue layer...
3) I need to look at the flowers when I color them just as much as I do when I draw them, because I didn't really incorporate the light and shadows into my coloring...
A first effort...and getting a chance to play with different media.

Good start, it's hard to crit because you haven't posted much, but jsut keep drawing, all the studying you do will pay off in the end.
Sketchbook | Website |
@Psychobuddy: Thanks for the reply...I will keep drawing...
In fact, here are a few more things...
What I have found is the drawing comes out best if I am copying another drawing, then second best if it is from life, and the worst if it is from my imagination...not that any of them are great...but I do notice a marked difference between them.
The first is another attempt at a self-portrait. It still doesn't look like me.
The second is of a cup on my desk. It was done rather quickly.
The third is a drawing of a picture in some figure drawing book, I can't remember which one, that I looked at and drew.

So, I am going to go back and re-upload a larger version of the daffodil painting, so you can actually see it, but I don't have time right now. But sometimes today...
The following is just some exercises I was doing on drawing lines and how your lines direct the eye and creates rhythm in the drawing from the See It, Feel It, Draw It Boot Camp book by Sheldon Borenstien. He was a student of Vilppu
Anyway, not much but wanted to put everything that I am doing up here...
Here is some more...
The first is a small pastel piece I did the other day...I was walking back from a hike in the evening, and the sky was this amazing yellow color, and I tried to capture it in this...
The last three are pages from my sketchbook...working with the figure, volume, playing with a pen, etc.
That figure drawing in #4 is beautiful! You're doing a lot of work and studying different things, really good job.
So here are some more sketchbook pages...
The first page is some quick sketches I did of people and things while waiting for someone at a coffee shop
The second page is some sketches I did while following an online tutorial on Manga drawing
The third Page is some things sketched from life: my hand, jar of pens and pencils, a sticky note pad with a thing of thread on top, and then some faces from my imagination
The fourth page includes some figure drawing, the negative space one was done while watching a tutorial video on it, and the others stuff was just drawn from imagination...
@nouge: Thanks...I can't take complete credit...I was watching a figure drawing tutorial, and this time, instead of drawing along with the instructor while I was watching, I waited until it was over. Then tried drawing it from what I remembered. I really like the pose...and I find the human figure fascinating and a lot of fun to draw.
I started working on the first assignment in the
Concept Arts 101 Thread
But it is not done yet. Hopefully tonight, until then, here are few more sketchbook pages:
1#-Some people from imagination...then some basic shapes. I really need to work on those, especially cylinders.
2# The figure and the pelican( I added the hatching background) are drawn from a book I had, hand I drew from life, and the heads from my imagination...one using Loomis princples.
#3 The spheres are some more Loomis studies, the butterfly thing was just something I was doing with pencil strokes and decided to make a shape. The foot and the elephant statue are from life, and the little twisting blobs are some exercises from Vilppu's Drawing Manual.
#4 Is just some more blob exercises...It is definitely helping me to get a sense of where I need to draw the line in order to convey a particular movement...and keep a sense of volume, instead of my just haphazardly trying some thing...definitely want to work more with this...

Hi guys,
So these are the two pictures I did for the concept Art 101 Assignment #1. I don't think I followed the directions right...for the second picture, instead of just adding something imaginative to the shoe I already drew from observation and make it look like it was part of the original, I drew a completely new imaginary shoe...but hey, that is the best drawing from my head I have ever done...so I can see how learning to draw from life really helps with drawing from imagination, which was what this assignment was suppose to help you see.
On a separate note...does anyone have advice on how to fix the trail running shoe...I know the perspective is off on the grooves on the bottom of the shoe and I wasn't sure how to get the different textures to come out...the leather,the rubber, the meshy water resistance stuff, and also how to delineate the different colors with just pencil... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I do very much here you. I am terribly perplexed about creating texture. To try and help solve this I've just started grabbing Super-High Rez Pencils works and spend time trying to study the direction and density of lines used on the various represented textures...
I have also started to stick my eyes really close to these old, old Pencil/Pen Works my College Library has hanging around. (Gettin' some really strange looks from people in he process.) There is this strange, weaving pattern used on pretty much all of them. Haven't ever seen such a pattern discussed in any of the Drawing Books I've looked at.

From a couple of your figure drawings I can already tell you're improving!
But I must know what those strange semi-circle type lines you have drawn repeatedly are haha I'm so confused by them
Charlie R. Faerber
@Mental-Mouse: Thanks for the suggestion about looking at some pencil works and see if I can see how they did it, especially ones with the texture I want to achieve.
@CR Faeber: LOL...those are just some line exercise...the first and last one was learning how to see the relationship between the two different marks...keeping the angle and distance between them the same...and not just once but every time...as you can see, I wasn't able to do that...and the middle two were exercises in learning how to create rhythm to the line....and directing the eye by the lines...which later can be applied to the figure drawing...Just exercises from this book I have that I use sometimes to warm up before I start drawing....
So here are just some more sketches from my sketchbook
#1 Snapple bottle drawn from life..I know it is a bit lopsided...then two faces from imagination...
#2 I was sitting on my deck and decided to draw my legs...I started too far up the paper and ran out of room to draw the ends of the feet...That was a lesson in blocking in the general shape first...or starting with the feet and working down next time...
#3 Practice drawing my hands in different positions, and then some figure stuff from imagination and more blobs
#4 These are some quick sketches of my cat...as soon as I decided to draw him, he kept moving...just had seconds to get something down before he moved...it was interesting, but fun...made me laugh. I think I like the second one best...

So I am heading out town for a couple of days. I am bringing my sketchbook with me and will continue to draw everyday. I will post what I did when I get back.
So I am back in town...I need to scan in my sketchbook pages before I can post them...so hopefully have them up tomorrow.
I also got some of the drawing books I ordered. I was excited about that. I got Bridgeman's Complete Guide to Life Drawing and Dodson's Keys to Drawing and Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing: Design and Invention. I just started to look through them....seems to me that Hampton's book is showing a similar approach as Vilppu and Borenstien's books...I really like the Keys to Drawing...I like all the small exercises scattered through the chapter.
I wanted to start focusing on my line work more...I know my lines are pretty 'hairy'. Tonight, I just worked on drawing lines...getting a confident line instead of a 'searching line'. I think I am going focus on some contour drawings just to work on that.
I have also noticed a couple other things....how I get involved in drawing the details instead of drawing the overall form first...and also how I can get impatient and then just start drawing lines from what I think it should look like instead of looking at what I see and drawing that...if that makes sense...
I got a cheap graphic tablet the other day...and just drew a few really quick face sketches. I haven't done any digital drawing before, so I am still learning how Photoshop and Manga studio's works...how to chose different brushes and pencils, and change the size, etc. But I thought I would post them...just some faces from imagination.
Last edited by amaranthxx; August 30th, 2012 at 01:10 AM.
I can see the improvements! Keep working at it!
One way I learnt to draw longer, more confident lines was to draw from my elbow and shoulder instead of using my wrists, some good exercises would be to draw ovals, focussing on not how pretty the ovals turn out, but by focussing on using your elbow and shoulder.
I actually learnt quite abit of good drawing basics from Ctrl+Paint.com. You'll be able to better build on Bridgman/Loomis and other books after getting used to some simple techniques. (It's what i've learnt anyway... )
Anyway! Keep it up! I'll be watching you

Say "Hi" on DeviantArt!
Or.. Drop by my Sketchbook and Help me Out?
@FalconessN : Thanks for the tip about drawing ovals with the elbow and shoulder. I will practice that, and I will check out that website you mentioned.
So, I am back after a hiatus. With the site being down for awhile in September and then moving. I got out of sync with posting here...But, I am back now. Here are just some rough sketches from my sketchbook. They are pretty messy because the pencil smeared on the pages when I closed them. I didn't put fixative on them....they were just sketches.
I have some more stuff I will be posting, just wanted to get this up....more coming soon.
Last edited by amaranthxx; November 20th, 2012 at 10:40 PM.
Okay....so here some more stuff...These are some exercises I did from the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Book....The hands were done from life using a viewfinder, and the other two are from the upside down drawing exercises...They are copies of master works...
Okay...so here is some more stuff....These are two drawings I did based on pictures in some drawing anatomy book I ran across. I can't remember the name of it now. The guy is done in pencil and the woman is in charcoal.
Okay...so here are some exercises and copies of pictures from a book on how to draw Manga comics that I borrowed from a friend. It was fun to play with. Some of the faces are off...like the blond haired woman in green looks like she has an insect face, and I had to start over on the sword wielding character because I started getting the face all wrong...but enjoyed it...and had fun just messing around with adding some color.
And here is a Manga style face that I just drew from my imagination....based on what I learned from the book. I decided to make a copy of the pencil drawing and color it for fun.
Okay....so here is the last post...the following were all drawn from life...not picture references....the elephant was a little garden statue.
Hey, been a while! Studies from life are looking nice, good job!
Would like to see more real anatomy studies rather than manga stuff. If that's what you want to draw it should be easy enough to transfer real anatomy knowledge over to manga drawing later on.
In your life studies you should keep an eye on your lines. You stroke them, making them very hairy some places, like on the sleeve of the hand holding the necklace. Also, don't be afraid to try shading things deeper. You've got pretty bold lines, the shading gets lost compared to it a lot of the time.
Keep it up, you're doing well! (Oh, and I think the link in your signature is dead. I had to get here through your profile.)
@nouge : Thanks for stopping by and letting me know about the broken link. I think I fixed it. I will work on my lines...I have noticed the hairy lines too. I have been practicing a bit with just drawing lines, but haven't posted that stuff because figured it wasn't too interesting to look at, and I also working on shading...I think I hesitate with that a bit, because I don't feel I really know much about tone and value, yet. I will do some real anatomy studies...the Manga stuff was just for fun...I don't want to exclusively draw that...I want to draw real people...I picked up some anatomy books the other day...so anatomy studies coming soon.
But, here are a few more drawings...I couldn't scan them in. They were too big...~18x12...so I took pictures of them. They seem a bit dark to me, but basically you can see the drawing.
There are two quick 30 second gesture drawings on newsprint of some flowers I did when I was warming up one day. I just liked the way they turned out....
Then, there is a chair drawn from life and the egg/apple/cube still life...I don't really know how to do drapery, or folds in cloth....and then a exercise on perspective.....

Sorry for the delay between post. I don't have a scanner and I have been borrowing a friend's to post here, and I have been so busy that haven't gotten over to use their scanner very much. I just started taking a beginning drawing class. I am three weeks into it. So far, I really like it...just starting out with drawing the basic shapes, and adding cross-contours to create form, and this past week we started talking about rhythm. I don't have everything I have been drawing, but I have a couple of pictures. They are just basic; that is all the teacher wants us to do right now...keep it simple...get a foundation, not worry about everything like perspective etc. I think next week we are going to start looking at tone. So, here are a few of the images I have managed to scan.
The first pic of the toothbrush, etc. and the trashcan is just practicing basic shapes.
The second pic of a rock still life is practicing cross contours.
The third pic is practicing cylinders and cross contours. I got some feedback on it...about altering the direction of the cross contours to make it appear branches are going away and coming towards, and to loosen it up a bit with more gesture, and not have 'Y's'...so I am going to do it again...putting into practice some of those suggestions....
The fourth was still basics shapes and cross-contours, but also working on adding some rhythm to it...
And I did start working on some skull anatomy studies, but they were pretty bad. But, I am going to keep working at it.
Just some practice with tone.
So I have been away for awhile...here are some of the things I have been working...I started taking the Basic Foundations online class at the new Portfolio Art School. I have been learning a lot....I need to practice more to get all the principles into my drawings, but I can tell a difference...So here is some stuff to share...
1) The pear was my first completed piece working with tone and value....I find my core shadows are too hard sometimes...need to work on softening them...
2) The house was my first attempt at perspective. I got so focused on that, that I didn't really give the house much form...and it was rushed.
3) The two drapery pieces...not very good, but my first two attempts....I went too dark too fast on the one on right, my first try, and the one on the left, I made the lines too uniform, and there were multiple light sources, and I haven't worked with that yet, and it kind threw me with the light and shadow...again did it too fast.
4) The Still life with bottle, eggs and box... I like this one... I went slower, took breaks, only thing is I think it could be more organic, less rigid, and some of the perspective on my cross-contours on the box seem a bit off.
5) On tree, I think the core shadows need to be darker and stand out more, especially in the bottom of the trunk where it kind of blends...I thought I fixed it but the scanner didn't pick it up.
I find with the tree and drapery that I sometimes am not clear on where the cast shadow goes...and how that sometimes covers up the highlight of the next fold...I just need to practice that more...
Any critiques or advice welcome...Thanks!
So, I have been busy with moving, etc...and I haven't had an internet connection since the beginning of February. But, finally got internet again and my scanner back, so I will be posting again. I am going to try to post every other day, but draw everyday.
So, here is to renewed commitment, and here is some of the stuff I have been doing the past few months...starting with some perspective stuff, and then some different sketches+
So here are some still life of rocks I did...I didn't do complete drawings of them...I was just trying to get the position and basic lines in...so they don't have much form to them...I wasn't practicing that...I just wanted to work on position.proportion and lines...

Hedge funds ready to sell real estate
Some are likely to begin selling off the property they have been renting recently.
By Thomas H. Kee Jr.
Interest rates and price are inversely related and that means, of course, that bonds will come under pressure if interest rates rise. Bond prices react immediately to market moves because bonds are a liquid market, that means bond fund investors are already feeling the pain of higher rates today, but higher rates will also apply to the housing market.
The difference is that the housing market is not an efficient market, at least not nearly as efficient as the bond market or the stock market. Housing reacts like a snail sometimes, but that does not change the inverse relationship between interest rates and price.
Although individuals may still be clamoring to buy property, institutional investors have already started to back off, and some of them are strongly reconsidering their real estate holdings. Just a couple short years ago the largest banks and financial institutions in our country were forced to sell massive amounts of real estate (and MBS too), and because of the high risks at the time and the often low quality of many of those assets they were forced to do this at a fraction of what they were worth.
As a result hedge funds, who were the buyers of these assets, have massive amounts of real estate on their books, and they have been renting that real estate to generate income in many cases. This has been widely known for quite some time, but what might not be known yet is their interests in selling those assets; this will especially be true if they perceive the values to reverse lower.
Hedge funds are paid based on performance, and many of them have 'written up' the value of their real estate properties to reflect not only the fair value versus their purchase prices, but also to reflect the trickle-up that has happened afterwards in real estate prices on a nationwide basis. They have purposefully kept those properties off of the market until now, but that can change on a dime.
In the bond market we can estimate a price decline of about 4% if interest rates moved from 2% to 2.5%, so a similar relationship can be ascertained for real estate for this example. Again, the real estate market reacts slowly, but it still is impacted by changes in yield.
Starting almost immediately the hedge funds who determine that interest rates have indeed bottomed and yields are indeed going to continue to increase will be faced with the unenviable task of selling those properties. They will do this to prevent loss, and because they know bonuses will not come unless they record a gain some of them could be compelled to act quickly.
Beware of a flood of inventory as a result, and beware of larger than expected price declines in real estate in the year ahead. Real estate and real estate stocks are likely to come under severe pressure. PulteGroup, Inc. (PHM), Lennar Corporation (LEN), KB Home (KBH), and Toll Brothers Inc (TOL) should all be avoided by long-term investors as a result, but these stocks are also likely to be extremely volatile in the days, weeks, and months that follow so traders may have a field day with them. Stock Traders Daily has real time trading reports for each of these.
They all should be combined into Troll Brothers. The FED saves the banks who screwed homeowners. In return depositors and savers get .5%, that's 1/2 of 1%, for letting them lend money at 3-4% and also get charged fees to boot. I'm glad I dumped my stocks last week in anticipation of this disaster.

Greater Goods
Washington DC
- Location: Washington, DC
- Website: greatergoods.com
Greater Goods on U Street opened last November and is already the Washington City Paper's #1 Eco Store (2008 reader rankings). Greater Goods specializes in environmentally-friendly products and services, including the installation of tankless water heaters, home automation kits and light switches...
We appreciate the wide range of items at Greater Goods, including waste-reducing biodegradable trash bags, grocery bag dryers (for reusing them), water-saving showerheads, aquabarrel rain boxes (to capture runoff water), and energy-saving solar chargers and drying racks.
In addition to products and installation services, Greater Goods currently offers greener living classes including specific classes on Energy Efficiency, Waste Conservation and Green Your Home 101.
The store's website shares DIY guides, like its DC Recycling Guide and will soon expand to offer its products for sale online. Greater Goods will also recycle certain items for free if you bring them to the store: printer cartridges, cell phones and spent rechargeable batteries (from power tools, laptops, cell phones, appliances, etc.). The store charges 50 cents for each compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) you want to recycle.
Greener Goods is also open to suggestions for its products, classes, and services. Got any ideas?
2 Comments
Oh, I didn't realize they'd take batteries; I have recyclables from my Makita drill that have died, I'll drop them off on my lunch hour.
Greater Goods advertises CFL dimmable bulbs that actually work, although the wattage is kind of low. Even so, actual CFL dimmables that work and don't just flicker would, truly, be great! So I recommend checking them out for your energy-effiicent dimmable bulb needs.
Greater Goods also has a very cute roof garden above the front door -- mixing their early 20th century storefront with early 21st century innovation!
Speaking of gardening, there's a great water-efficient and easy-to-install system that I use called Raindrip, and I wish that Greater Goods carried their line. It's a watering system that attaches to your outdoor hose bib. It uses a timer, a lot of 1/4" black plastic hose and little drippers to drip water on the soil around your plants, whether they are in the ground or in pots. If you are in an apartment or house where you have an outside spigot/hose bib and want to keep plants watered without being wasteful, Raindrip is great. In the DC area the parts seem only to be at Merrifield Gardening Center out in Virginia (you can get the Raindrip "patio kit" at Logan Hardware, but no larger kits and no parts). I wish Greater Goods would carry a couple of their kits, as well as a handful of the parts, as the system is awesome. It is water-saving, affordable and made in the USA. Hooray!

A Biomimetic Smart Control of Viscous Drag Reduction
Viscous flow drag represents the largest contingent of the entire drag that aerodynamic and hydrodynamic devices are subject to. Inspired by the functions of sharks skins, riblet surfaces have been studied and applied to wall structures to reduce turbulent flow drag. However, whilst structural similarity has been obtained it lacks true mimicry. This paper presents an approach of drag reduction using "Smart Surface", a new propose composite surface that combines the riblet with an elastic coating. The "smart surface", inspired by the self-adjustable skin of marine animals such as the dolphin, is designed to modify the traditional riblet technique and enable it to "sense" and interact with the flow by adjusting the wall structure according to the flow condition. Considering the factors of manufacture feasibility, durability and drag reduction performance in previous studies, the physical model of "Smart Surface" is designed. The preliminary establishment of corresponding prediction model has been discussed and calculated. Further work in the aspects of experimental and numerical study of this research is prospected.

As the Supreme Court takes a look at the legality of same-sex marriage, a lot is riding on their decision in Las Vegas as legal gay marriages could mean an even bigger wedding business in the Valley.
Right now it's only a small percentage of the ceremonies performed at Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel on Las Vegas Boulevard near Charleston, but Brian Mills says when same-sex marriage becomes legal nationally it will mean a big boost in business.
"We are very excited about the prospect of same-sex marriage becoming legal here in Nevada," says Mills. "It's something that's been a long time coming and we as the only gay-owned and operated wedding chapel in Las Vegas have been at the forefront of welcoming same-sex couples to Nevada for a very long time."
Mills says a law change could take their business to a whole new level, and he's says, socially, it's about time. Viva Las Vegas says about 10 percent of its business is current same-sex commitment ceremonies.
Even if it becomes legal, Mills says not all chapels and ministers will perform the ceremonies for religious and/or personal reasons. But he says they are ready at Viva Las Vegas for the change.
Ernie Yuen, the President of the Southern Nevada Association of PRIDE, Inc. gave this statement to FOX5:
"Marriage equality is critical to the State of Nevada as it is not right for the residents of Nevada to be faced with discrimination as well as the economic impact that allowing weddings would have on the state. Pride's mission is to bring awareness and to educate to our community. Achieving marriage equality will happen by educating the public about allowing individuals who love one another to have the same opportunity to develop a family and life with one another while being afforded the same protections and rights that opposite sex couples are afforded. Our National Anthem ends with the words "and justice for all." Isn't it time we live by the words that we pledge? In Pride!"

DIRTY BIRD LAND – In the aftermath of the victory over the Chicago Bears, the Falcons were not rejoicing like they'd won a big game.
It was more a business-like tone in the locker room after the game.
Coach Mike Smith was in a good mood, but noted that several mistakes were made.
Pro Bowler Roddy White wasn't too impressed with the victory that pushed the Falcons to 4-1 for the first time since the 2004 season.
"We just did enough to win I think," White said.
The biggest play for the Falcons might have been the 62-yard kickoff return by Eric "The Whizzer" Weems. He received good blocks on the return from tight end Keith Zinger and cornerback Chris Owens.
"That was key for us," Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said. "Eric did a great job all night. That was a great play by Eric."
The offense got out of a funk when it went to the no huddle in the second quarter.
"It was the spark that we needed in the first half," Ryan said.
PINK SHOES: Ryan wore pink shoes against the Bears in support of the American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer awareness program.
"They felt pretty light," Ryan said. "Nike did a great job of creating some light pink shoes. It's for a great cause. I think
it's a great initiative . . . I was happy to be a part of it.
THE RUN GAME: Falcons running back Michael Turner only had 30 yards, but they were well-earned. The Bears appeared to have a copy of the Falcons' playbook.
The Falcons rushed 23 times for 68 yards overall.
"The Bears had a very good plan to defend the run, but we just kept chipping away at them," Falcons coach Mike Smith said.
DAILY DOUBLE: Free safety Thomas DeCoud had two interceptions and got some praise from the coach.
"Thomas was playing the ball very well in the air," Smith said. "He went through his reading of the route progression and he played the ball. It's good to see Thomas, a young player, third round draft pick, second year in the league, make plays like that. These young guys continue to progress."
BURNING THE BLITZ: White's 40-yard touchdown catch came when the Bears were blitzing and in Cover Zero (No safeties). Tight end Tony Gonzalez, wide receiver Brian Finneran and White were in a trips right formation.
Gonzalez and Finneran made good blocks to create a lane for White, according to White.
"We kept battling," White said. "There were too many three and outs, especially early in the game. It seemed like they knew what we were doing and they kind of had our number. We couldn't break the funk. We needed one big play. That's what we kept saying in the huddle. Somebody make a play. Somebody make a play, right here."
THROWING A NO-HITTER: The Falcons' line has not allowed a sack over the last four games.
They have only allowed two this season. Three of the five starters were on the line in 2007 that allowed 47 sacks. Some of those were from Joey Harrington holding the ball and from ex-head coach Bobby Petrino's designed "unblocked looks."
But the Falcons' offensive linemen don't want to talk much about the sackless streak.
"That's like when a man's throwing a no-hitter, you can't talk about it," center Todd McClure said.
During the streak, Ryan has dropped back 123 times without being sacked. He's helping them out by getting the ball out on time and throwing it away if he has to scramble out of the pocket.
Ryan was last sacked by Jason Ferguson with 9:06 left in the third quarter against Miami in the season-opener.
"I thought our guys up front did a nice job," Smith said.
CATCHING THE DRAFT: Good luck up in Buffalo to former Falcons Chris Draft. He had a sack in the Bills' victory over the New York Jets.
The St. Louis Rams cut him when he didn't want to take a pay cut. He's a "F.O.P." – friend of the program. He helped us out with our rookie symposium story over the offseason and is a tireless worker in the community.

Great game by the Falcons! Let's keep taking care of business and bring it to the Cowboys this weekend!
October 19th, 2009
10:18 am
first, and what a tough win last night
October 19th, 2009
10:22 am
Oh, I guess I was first! The only first I'll be interested in is the Falcons finishing first for the season, after a Super Bowl win. To do that, we must play one game at a time. With this leadership team in place, I believe we can do it.
October 19th, 2009
10:24 am
Great win boys! We've got "Big Mo" on our side and (as an old high school coach used to say) "Ain't no-mentum like momentum!"
On to Big D – let's beat those Cowboys!
October 19th, 2009
10:40 am
Stunning performance by the Defense. Hung tough, the secondary did make mistakes, but luckily not enough to cost us the game. maybe no huddle could become a pattern as the O seemed very out of sync up to that point. I hope this game does not bring to much attention to the Birds and we can keep off the radar just a bit longer.. it is nice to be the underdog and come in swinging.
Oh, and like last week.. it says something for the drive of our O line when you again see the hustle of our lineman down field blocking after a pass. Coach Smith has to just love that!
October 19th, 2009
10:41 am
I can't wait for the Cowgirl fans to start talking smack! Time to show the boys how men play ball. GO FALCONS!
October 19th, 2009
10:44 am
DOL Im going to have to agree with Roddy in that the offense only did enough to win. For the most part they were fairly unimpressive. But the key was they did enough- a signature of good football teams in the NFL. The defense was impressive. I want to throw a shout out for Jamaal Anderson. I have definitely been of the thought that he was a bust (and still think he is at DE) but he is a potentail force a DT. Last night on a huge sack of Cutler (Im not sure who ended up getting the credit for it) Anderson ran right through two Bears completely collapsing the pocket. Very very impressive. If fact the entire defensive line is playing extremely well right now. I think Smitty and the staff are really onto something with the combination of Abe, Babs, JA, and KB. The defensive line was the perhaps the most impressive unit all night- matched only by the special teams. I'll be back shortly with another thing I've been thinking about. Go Falcons!
October 19th, 2009
10:50 am
The comical announcers kept saying that the Bears lost because they blew too many opportunities in the red zone. Well the Falcons "D" was laying some wood down in the red zone. Da Bears were sloppy because they were scared of getting hit in the mouth! Funny how the media chose to over look the hits by our defense. Ask Forte about those hits..
October 19th, 2009
10:58 am
That bye week sure gave the Bears defense time to game plan against our offense. Wow, we were clueless until we went to the no huddle offense. Don't know if going no-huddle was a coaching "adjustment" or just dumb luck. Either way, a takeaway lesson for the coaching staff should be the importance of making game plan adjustments on the fly. I think we've got 3 more opponents who will be coming off their bye weeks. Smitty and staff — hope you keep a tool box full of adjustments handy in the coming weeks. Nice win.
October 19th, 2009
11:05 am
Holy cow…. our D knocked the snot out of Forte on those two plays. Lofton just destroyed him on the first one. Kudos to the D playing the pitch on the second… most defenses would've left that wide open.
October 19th, 2009
11:23 am
The adjustment was getting the ball out in the flats; the Bears were selling out on pinching the middle of the field. So much for that – it didn't work.
Oh yeah, when did sitting on the ball become legal posession? The refs were way to quick on calling "down by contact"; the only Bear around Forte's first fumble was Forte and, I guess, since his butt was touching the ball the refs ruled possesion. Perhaps we should have stuck the ball up the ref's rear end and let him possess it for a few seconds.
The Bears fans were chanting "Lets go refs" – it musta worked.
October 19th, 2009
11:25 am
I agree with Roddy White that the team did just enough to win. However, there was a time – in the not soo distant past – when the Falcons didn't even do that.
Last night's win was big.
October 19th, 2009
11:31 am
just twitted you: Depending onextent Brian Williams injury, will we go out for DB help (free agents or trade) or will there be a Tye Hill sighting?
I would luv to have OAK DB Nnamdi Asomugha if OAK is looking to have a fire sale, but he is too expensive and may cost at least 1 draft pick (likely a 1st rounder).
October 19th, 2009
11:35 am
AV, I think 3 of our future opponents will also be coming off the BYE week:
DAL – this week
WSH – Nov. 8th
NYG – Nov. 22nd
October 19th, 2009
11:59 am
I don't feel good…….RALPH!
October 19th, 2009
12:01 pm
Be careful….Mr. Ledbetter will get upset at you ….
Abraham and Bierman pinching on the corners and the push up the middle did not allow Chicagos QB to step and follow through hence the ball was sailing a little….
October 19th, 2009
12:06 pm
Good Tough Win for the Falcons. However Chris Houston is a serious liability on defense. I've been watching him for the last few weeks and he continues to cover receivers down field WITHOUT TURNING HIS HEAD AROUND!!! We won this game but if this is not corrected asap expect a lot of teams(Saints) to expose this to the Maximum. I sure hope the Falcons coaches see what I see and correct it before its too late…
October 19th, 2009
12:10 pm
I'd also like to praise Jamaal Anderson. He hasn't really developed into the DE we needed – but he has been pretty good at getting a push from the middle.
Glad to see his hard work paying off. Go Falcons!
October 19th, 2009
12:12 pm
The defense is improving each week. I hope Williams injury isn't too serious, but it didn't look good. Let's hope the Falcons treat the Cowboys and their fans to another home loss in that fancy new stadium next week. GO FALCONS!!!
I see Vick had another huge game this week.
October 19th, 2009
12:16 pm
Enjoyed the story as always! However, I am a little disappointed.
You haven't gave kudos to the GA Dome crowd last night that assisted with the false start penalty as the Bears were basically on the goaline which significantly made the last play more difficult.
October 19th, 2009
12:34 pm
Chris Houston should go bus tables at Houston's…Gawd he's awful!
October 19th, 2009
12:57 pm
My 2 cents…………
1.Jamal Anderson is a WAY better DT than DE…Beast against the run
2. Chris Houston is terrible IMO,How can you cover a guy and never turn you head to locate the ball. Johnny Knox ate his food and left the dishes. Knox is one of the better rookie receivers i've ever seen.
3.Sum one put Baby oil on Turners gloves before the game, he goes from never fumbling to fumbling every game.
4. Grimes is small but he may be our best overall corner, besides Williams.
5.DeCoud is becoming my favorite Falcons player, even before his performance last night,he stood out to me. BALL HAWK, great tackler,plays with attitude, and is good in coverage…TD got this one right
6.Weems has cemented himself as our return man. never thought a guy from Bethune Cookman and most recently the practice squad would have this type impact. This guy is always in the right place.
7. It takes a while for rookies to become contributers but our 09 draft class doesnt look so hot. Perry/Moore constantly hurt, Owens cant beat out Houston and grimes, Sidbury -the jury is still out,Middleton/Walker- no comment
Good win now lets kick sum cowboy azz
October 19th, 2009
1:00 pm
Brian Williams out for the season. Moore and Norwood hurt AGAIN.
October 19th, 2009
1:08 pm
What happened to all of the stuff the trainers were doing to reduce injuries??? If it's the same hamstring for Moore he might as well hang it up for the year.
October 19th, 2009
1:09 pm
Matt Ryan is scared to be great hes alot better then how he played last nite.
October 19th, 2009
1:26 pm
I guess you've never heard of Mathis. The CB for the Jaguars. He went to BCC just like Weems.
October 19th, 2009
1:31 pm
You also have to consider that even though they aren't starting now the rookie class of this year isn't bad. If they were starting that could mean one of "TWO" things
1. They are special players or
2. Who we have isn't and we have to start our rookies.
Just learn patience. Today's society doesn't show that. I would rather we do with these rookies the same thing we did with Nicholas and he's become a pretty good LB as the season progresses than just to throw them in the fire. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
October 19th, 2009
1:32 pm
Bad news guys:
CB Brian Williams DONE FOR THE SEASON ( Torn ACL). Any chance we see Chris Owens @ Dallas?
-REEcently ROE…YO!
October 19th, 2009
1:38 pm
Uggghhh…did we really lose Brian Williams for the season??? That hurts big time….I mean that could be a season-turning injury for the Falcons unless a trade is made. Man…
October 19th, 2009
1:46 pm
The Falcons did ok last night. They could have played much better and had opportunities to score more points. I hope the Falcons correct their weaknesses and mistakes in time for their matchup against the Saints. The Saints are the top team in their division and are scoring machine, registering a ton of points each week. The Falcons may have to score 60 points to beat the Saints, which they can. The Falcons MUST however eliminate their early 3-outs because they will have to score on almost every posession in order to beat the Saints or the good teams like the Patriots. Good News though. ALL of the Falcons problems or weaknesses are correctable. The Falcons MUST score like they did against San Francisco to beat anyone on their schedule. That is how they need to play each and every week. If not, the Falcons wont win when they get into the playofs because you will always face good teams in the playoffs and the Falcons will play a good team capable of beating them. I believe this CAN be the Falcons year if they stay humble and continue to improve. If they feel they have arrived and try to beat teams on talent and past accomplishments, the Falcons will fail in the post-season like they did last year against Arizona. The Bears game could have been a lot more explosive in terms of offese on both sides because the Bears could have scored more points AND the Falcons could have scored more points. The final score of the Bears game last night could have been 40-37 with the Falcons on the winning side. The Falcons squandered many opportunities to score and played pathetic football. The Falcons red zone defense saved them last night along with their special teams play. I think the Falcons are happy, fortunate and relieved to come out of the contest last night against the Bears with a win. Those pesky Bears just wouldnt quit last night and it made it a tough win for the Falcons.

Way to go "Birds". Keep on pluggin' along. It's a long season….

4th Quarter – TOUCHDOWN punt return, why the heck one of Falcon's coach pointing finger where our punt returner stepped out of bound by few inches. He helped offical to blow whistel when he was half way down the field. Someone tell Falcon's coaches to keep their hand in pocket. Dang it!
October 19th, 2009
2:05 pm
I liked the D timeout coach Smitty took. They played Hard after that. Also the fans with the Smitty hard hats was good. But lets give it to ALL the Falcons fans who were so loud they could hear them in LA and not Lower Alabama but LA californication. way to go 12th man. I was also glad to see the "players" talking about what they needed to fix like they had lost a game. TD and Smitty has changed this team in all the right ways. Proud to be a Falcons fan
October 19th, 2009
2:07 pm
OK boys and girls this was a great team performance, we know we have great weapons on offense but we won't get anywhere wihtout playing as a team. Last night was the beginning of the true evolution of the Falcon's rise it is incredible how the team has grown before our eyes. The defense looks solid and aggressive – granted we need to continue working on the secondary – but the talent is there to do so. Enough about Jamal Anderson, he is a DT and a good one, he was all over the ball yesterday, disrupted the run and by the way and tipped the last pass last night in coverage. We are building something special in the ATL. Have the CB practice hard and Michael turner to secure the ball better and we have a very very TOUGH TEAM to beat. The DIRTY BIRDS are here to stay.

rickypr I take on exception with your post. These are not the Dirty Birds because they would have folded last night. These are the high flying Killer Birds with a purpose.

2:13 pm
First- I come here to read about football not for the grammar. I suggest those of you that have this backwards go somewhere else and quit posting on this blog. If you have some football related news then by all means post, but otherwise go whine somewhere else. Second- the Brian Williams injury hurts bad. If he is out for the season that spells potential major trouble. Hopefully it could also spell a Tye Hill sighting. I seem to remember a corner last year who was held back by the coaching staff for quite a while and then when he finally got in the game proved he to be our best corner- let's just say I'm hoping this story repeats itself with Hill. Third, teams are really looking to stop our run so I hope these next couple weeks The coaches let Ryan take over and open up the run. Thus far this season Turner's holes have really opened after Matty and the birds have come out throwing aggressively. Ryan's great and knows his stuff and the Falcons are at their best when he is running the show (for ex. the no huddle). Lastly, I don't think I can say enough about how impressed I was by Jamaal Anderson at DT and DeCoud's season thus far. Go Falcons!
October 19th, 2009
2:13 pm
I expected it would be a tight game, but heck yeah…the defense stood their ground! I heart Tony G.
October 19th, 2009
2:23 pm
First of all kudos to the DL line. They were the story last night. If you don't think so just ask Matt Forte he will testify.
Secondly, i hope Tye Hill is ready cuz i just heard on 790 that BWilliams is out for the season.
Thirdly, is it possible to tie chris houston's facemask over his right shoulder and attach it to his belt so he has to look for the BALLL!!!!!!!
Lastly someone tell Romo to look out for these numbers on sunday 95,55,71,and 98 he going to see them all day
October 19th, 2009
2:32 pm
The offense always sputters when Jerious Norwood is not in the game. He is our X factor. Defenses have to spot him when ever he's in the game, leaving one or two holes open to run or pass. When he's not, well you cover Gonzalez and White and spy on Turner. I think it would also help if we had a quarterback who could/would scramble more. There are times when Ryan could run to get a couple of yards instead of throwing it out of bounds. Keep your head up Ryan. The holes are bigger for you than they ever were for MV. Take the five they give you, then get 20 on the next.
October 19th, 2009
2:33 pm
Came over here to offer the Falcons a well deserved congratulations on a timely vicory last night. Here's hoping for at least a 10-6 season this year.
There are some issues to be addressed though: got start thinking about drafting Turner's replacement because he doesn't look like he has more than 2 years of high level productivity left and Norwood is probably done for this year as well. I just am not comfortable with the running back picture long term.
Tight end Tony Gonzeles has been a life safer but his fast approaching his expiration date , so you got to think of his replacement too.
And last but not least, can the braintrust find a cornerback over 5′7"? Dallas is going to burn these guys like a short oder cook in a skid row diner next week and Tony Romo is not the second coming of Dan Marino.Imagine Drew Brees versus theses guys.
So let's enjoy the season but plan to get better personnel for next year.
October 19th, 2009
2:34 pm
This may come as a surprise to some people; but I think that when Jerius Norwood returns from his injury AND by the time the Falcons have made it to week 12 of the regular season; THE FALCONS WILL HAVE THE BEST TEAM IN PRO FOOTBALL. That is only a prediction it is not a statement of fact. I like making predictions and I like being right most of the time. If I'm right again this time, the Falcons may have themselves a superbowl contender, like they had in 1998.
October 19th, 2009
2:35 pm
Also as impressive as it is that Turner has tree trunks for legs, he needs more speed after he receives the ball. Have him work with a track coach that specializes in 100 yard dash. Cut his weight by 20 lbs. and the speed will help him avoid more tackles than he would have to break.
October 19th, 2009
2:44 pm
Love the Falcon's.
October 19th, 2009
2:44 pm
Norwood is injured a lot because other teams have noticed what we have. They are head hunting. When he was tackled and on the ground another Chicago Bear player hit him on the back. I guess he was continuing the play, but it didn't look like it to me.
October 19th, 2009
2:51 pm
This was a classic example of a bend but not break DEF. The key to its success was stopping the run, and ironically, that trend began when we made JAnderson the starting DT. His presence has made a tremendous difference in both our run DEF and interior pass rush. His size, height, strength and athleticism has allowed our coaches to do a lot of things we weren't able to do before with our DT's.
DT JBabineaux seemed to have disappeared after the Miami gm, but playing next to JAnderson seems to have revived him. We seem to be continuing a trend that started last yr. We're giving up a lot of yardage, but not a lot of points. We're playing excellent redzone OFF and DEF. Next wk, we go at it against the Cowgirls, and as we all know, put pressure on Romo and he'll self destruct.
October 19th, 2009
2:54 pm
Falcons doing good, some key games we gotta win coming soon which includes Saints. We got to stil work on running game somewhere since Turner is all power but doesnt have bursting speed out backfield.

Iv'e been one of the people to talk badly about Jamaal Anderson, But I will admit he had a pretty good game last night against the Bears. He seems best as a run stopper. The Falcons are getting better at the saftey position, now going forward, if we get our corners to consistently make plays the sky is the limit. We might need one more back that's quick enough to get around the corner besides Norwood. That kid Norwood is going through tuff times. I really like our Oline.. Go Falcons beat the Boys.!!
