Totally not a gimic!
Strengths: Cooks pizza faster than oven Teasing aroma prepares you for eating
Weakness: Another appliance to store
I love my Pizzazz Pizza Oven! They advertise it cooks pizza twice as fast as the oven. I'm not sure if thats quite true, but it certainly is faster than the traditional oven! I was very curious if this was a gimic. But, this is really a great product. Makes you wish more products lived up to their "idea". The only negative I can see about this product, is where to store it. I have limited kitchen space, so I have to stow this in a cabinet. It all depends on how often it is used, and how much space you have.

Strengths: Easy to keep clean. Fun to use and watch. Can add cheese while cooking
Weakness: Hard to cook smaller and thicker pizzas.
I've had this for a couple of weeks and I'm still testing it out but me and my whole family love it so far. It's really fun to use and also its cool to see your pizza sitting in front of you cooking while you hang out and watch TV. i sill haven't gotten the hang of precisley how long to cool the top or bootom to achieve the perfect pizza but i am enjoying learning.
the Di gorno pizzas seem to work best. also i like adding some extra cheese right before it's done.
definitely worth the price if you like pizza.

Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven: Perfect Pizza, Every time.
Strengths: Easy to Clean | Cooks Pizzas Faster than Traditional Ovens
Weakness: Small Pizzas are Nearly Impossible to Cook
For sub $40~, this is probably the best investment you can buy for your hungry family. Don't want to spend $30~ for a 'retail' pizza dinner? Then buy supermarket pizzas for a third the cost and cook them right up with this Pizza Oven! The taste is comparable to retail chain pizza, the cost is much lower, and the convenience of being able to cook them up right out in the open lets you get that precision golden crust that you want with minimal effort! Best of all.. NO MORE BURNED PIZZA! The only real downer to this oven is that small pizzas are almost impossible to cook with it, any pizza smaller than around 7 inches is going to hard pressed to get cooked within a reasonable timeframe, so you'd probably want to use a traditional oven for those.

Presto Pizzazz
Strengths: Its fast- makes good pizza.
Weakness: The Pizza Oven doesn't last long.
I plan to order another Pizza oven. This will be my 4th one. I like it so much that I have to buy another. For some reason They just don't work after while. I always remmebered to let the pizza run after the bell rang and remove the whole tray after the pizza machine had cooled a little. But they all quit after a while and reset didn't work. But I still want another one.

An impressionistic portrait of an iconic actor, this stunningly beautiful film is comprised of intimate moments, film clips, and Stanton's own renditions of American folk songs. As we explore the actor's enigmatic life, the fragile, romantic soul of an actor with musical leanings emerges. There are candid reminiscences from David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Sam Shepard, Kris Kristofferson and Debbie Harry, as well as uncensored, unguarded moments of wry humor from Stanton himself – who proves to be a galvanizing truth-telling, yarn-spinning survivor.

The TT Type is a full-spec thermal imaging camera designed for security and law...
To be eligible, the former service members must have been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed services, they cannot be in a gang or charged with a violent or gun crime. The program allows the participants, most of whom have pleaded guilty to drug charges, to avoid jail time as long as they abide by its strict conditions.
The idea is to help veterans with substance-abuse and mental-health issues turn their lives around by taking advantage of the social services available to them through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

House Democrats want to repeal debt ceiling
Wednesday - 1/16/2013, 11:59am EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democrats are pushing legislation to repeal the federal debt ceiling, saying the borrowing limit has no practical purpose and has come to be used for political maneuvering that can have devastating economic repercussions.
New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler said the debt ceiling is arbitrary, doesn't affect the deficit and has become a Republican means to "blackmail" the country to advance the GOP's political agenda.
President Barack Obama earlier this week said he would not negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling, saying talks on spending cuts should be separate from raising the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling and averting a possible first-ever national default.
The debt ceiling has been in place since 1939. The Treasury says it will run out of borrowing power in mid-February to early March.

On Thursday night, several dozen of Sarah Palin's best friends gathered in Kennesaw to watch their heroine on the big screen.
It was an invitation-only preview of "The Undefeated," a two-hour Stephen Bannon documentary on the rise of Palin, from Alaskan mayoral candidate to governor to GOP vice presidential nominee to — well, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it?
The movie won't open in metro Atlanta until July 15. "I hope that you will be evangelists for the film," Rob Cunningham, a member of the Georgia chapter of Organize4Palin, told the crowd before the room went dark.
Cunningham outlined a modest economic plan: The Palin movie will have a seven-day run at the AMC Barrett Commons theater complex off Barrett Parkway in Cobb County. Over 35 showings, the movie must draw $10,000 — about 1,200 tickets — to be judged a success.
Cunningham said he would count on the assembled Palin fans to put out the word — and perhaps organize a few watch parties.
With that, the lights went out.
The next hour and 55 minutes can be described in six words: "And then they were upon her."
Palin the housewife and mayoral candidate is attacked by the good ol' boys of Wasilla. Governor Palin is attacked by the cigar-smoking good ol' boys of Juneau. In the 2008 presidential contest, Palin the running mate is attacked by the good ol' boys (and girls) of the media.
Look, if you adore Palin, you will adore the movie. You will not mind that, at the 65-minute mark, you have only reached the second year of her governorship — a determined and overly detailed effort by the director to counter the caricature of Palin-as-airhead.
You won't object to learning more than you'll ever need to know about oil, natural gas and Alaska's approach to mineral rights.
For instance, in Texas, if you own the land, you own everything under it. In Alaska, everybody owns everything under the land. But this is not socialism. It is "the concept of the owner state." Negotiating those mineral rights is how Palin made her mark, the movie emphasizes.
Nor will you mind the film's own caricatures — oil company executives hobnobbing with armed African guerrillas, a flashing image of two smiling businessmen with a knife and revolver behind their backs, and whiskey-swilling legislators whose nicknames give the movie a PG-13 rating.
If you do not adore Sarah Palin, then this is not your date movie. Save your money and try the one with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts.
But whether or not you are a Palin admirer, if you are a Republican, find a way to see at least the final 15 minutes of "The Undefeated." It will tell you much about what's happening now within the GOP.
As you might expect, the movie is packed with accounts of liberal and media hatred of Palin — conflated as being from one and the same source. This is not news and barely worth a mention.
But the last quarter hour is primarily a diatribe against the "Republican establishment." Images of House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky jump onto the screen as conservative broadcaster Mark Levin speaks of Republicans "putting up symbolic votes that don't have any meaning."
At the screening, the first line to draw applause was a clip of Palin suggesting national Republican leaders need to take a cue from the local female hockey team and "learn to fight like girls."
Near the close of the film, Andrew Breitbart — the Internet provocateur who usually reserves his shots for Democrats — gives a brief soliloquy on cookie-cutter conservatism in Washington and the GOP establishment's exclusion of Palin.
"I respect these men on their policies," Breitbart says. "But I don't respect them as they sit there on their hands and watch this woman be attacked, mercilessly, time and again, on illegitimate grounds. Men no longer have a sense of chivalry."
Yes, Palin is a threat to the left, Breitbart says. "She's also an existential threat to these eunuchs. That's how I feel when I go into Washington. I see eunuchs. The people who are running for presidency of the United States watch as a woman is attacked mercilessly and they do nothing. I see eunuchs."
Again, when Breitbart speaks of castration, he is speaking of Republicans.
It is hard to say which thoughts in the movie belong to Bannon, the director, and which ones belong to Palin. The voice of the former Alaskan governor is heard throughout, but it is drawn from the audio version of Palin's book, "Going Rogue," to which Bannon purchased the rights.
So there is a layer of deniability available to Palin, if she wants it.
But if the movie's thesis in fact represents Palin's thinking, then "The Undefeated" helps explain the strange bus tour that coincided with Mitt Romney's formal entry last month into the presidential contest.
And Palin's appearance on Tuesday in Iowa — one day after Michele Bachmann's appearance in the same state — for a showing of "The Undefeated."
If Palin indeed feels snubbed by the movers and shakers within the Republican Party, then her recent behavior looks less like toe-dipping associated with a 2012 presidential bid and more like a longer-term, guerrilla campaign for the heart and soul of the GOP.

Ron Paul's supporters have made hundreds if not thousands of videos of him in support of his candidacy and they have done it for free, on their own time, and to show their support for his IDEAS.
What does it say about a prospective candidate that they have to make their own promotional video about themselves? And not even really about their ideas.
Ron Paul has the support of his ideas and his principles. If a movie is ever made about him, it will be about the unprecidented and enequaled contribution he has made to the cause of liberty in this country. Maybe after 8 years as our president all of america will be crying out for a movie like that.

I do think Congress Paul is a great American and has been a very good congressman. I can not support him on his quest to become President for the same reason I can not support most libertarians. His idea of we live in a cocoon and not bother with what is going on in the rest of the world is a invitation to another 911 or worst. All libertarians need to realize that there is evil in the world that will do everything they can to make America fail.

If Palin is so tough, why does she need men to protect her? And it's beyond sexist to say that men who don't protect her are "eunuchs." Like Palin emasculates men by saying their "limp", "impotent", and have no "cajones". Beyond confusing, hypocritical and, frankly, nauseating.

Just a note on how clueless and stupid liberals are. When John McCain lost, Sarah went back to work in Alaska minding her own business. But like a stupid child who plays around with a hornet until it it goes back into it's nest only to go poking around bringing it out again ready to sting, the libs had to file frivolous ethics charge one after another until Sarah could not longer function effectively as governer or financially. Had they left her alone to govern Alaska she would not be in their face now. But you asked for it and now you've got it. And if she really is this dilt the libs claim, why do they even pay her any attention? Well, we know why.

You people rare quite pathetic with your silly name calling, Gee Obama was senator, what a week before he started running for President. She was the most successful Governor in America with an 88% approval rating after 2 years in. But if you want to hold onto your, "quitter makes ya feel better blanket. go right ahead. You can even hold onto it if she becomes President if that will make your silly little brain feel better. I'll just be thanking a gracious God for giving this country another chance with such a wonderful leader.

Bird of feather, Mr. Legge?
How curious you can't see her lack of grace? One suspects that blindness may be a reflection on your own family.
Fathered by an inbred, an abomination, and without grace, as every eye can see – bodes ill for her.
The curse comes not without cause, neither does the shame…not that she doesn't attempt to appear shameless…just like "Babylon."
G-d has nothing to do with Palin. She is an affront to G-d. Look to your own soul while you have time.

Money shows up to help Palin because Big Money is behind her, a front gulling G-dless fools on behalf of fascist plutocracy, just as Big Money from Texas set up Talon News Service so Bush's homosexual lover could have a cover for being at the White House to commit abomination with the traitor who committed 9/11. These clowns are stooges of the Roman Anti-Christ's Fifth Column.

Sarah Palin is Newt Gringrich, Jr. in all respects (by the way, he is far from finished). She is a patriot for hire, a perennial candidate on the verge of jumping into a race she can not win and a media empire of books, movies and lectures that benefits only one person. Gringrich made the mistake of actually getting into the race. That brought on a whole new level of scrutiny which he clearly didn't need. I don't think Palin will make that mistake. She can milk this forever. There is nothing wrong with marketing. Look what it did for Coke.

Why is it called, "Undefeated?"
Defeated is exactly what she was in 2008. Also, she's a quitter, that should have been in the title too.

I suppose that even Mr. Deal could acquire an 88% approval rating — for awhile, at least — if this state had the wherewithal to send a couple of thousand dollars to every household. But now that Mrs. Palin no longer sits atop that wherewithal in Alaska, what is her approval rating there? I suggest that its just about as low as elsewhere. However, as she continues to demonstrate, some of the people can always be fooled all of the time.

Why is this even being covered ? At least Bachmann is a candidate. It is beyond belief why she attracts media coverage. She gets selected a VP candidate. Makes a fool of herself by not knowing certain SC rulings that she might disagree with, or what newspapers or magazines she reads. Then goes out on the stump and the only thing she says is namecalling the other candidate. Then they lose. Its just amazing to me that someone that says so little can attract so much attention.

@Ed – schoolyard bullies like you have little d@#$ks… and you're just mad that Obama is president and was elected by us stupid and clueless liberals. He will be re-elected and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Palin is nothing more than a caricature. And just like a Hannity, Coulter or Limbaugh, she is just another talking head media/wannabe dilt who will never get elected to national high office and you know it. Why don't you go back to your Cobb County soccer field and push around some little kids?

Looks like they've lowered the bar to insure success of this infomercial, doesn't it?
Palin likes to hunker down in a bunker, surrounded by her braintrust, and snipe. From the protection of her bunker she issues forth a barrage of emails, Facebook postings, twitters, tweets and peeps knowing that she is safe from unrehearsed questions that might cause embarrassment. Or, she appears on Fox where the talking heads serve up beach ball questions and stare amazed at her perfundity — when in fact, she couldn't find Cuba on a map.
What a joke!
This just may be the strategy for a presidential run: no debates, no questions from the media except from Fox or some religious broadcaster, limited personal appearances — but surrounded by her advisors in her bunker sending forth a barrage of attacks through the social media.
And, so it goes in the life of a Rogue. . . . .

I think that all of us, liberals and conservatives, need to look for common ground. There are things we agree on. For example, I agree with William Legge that all of the silly name calling from both sides needs to stop. It is one of the things preventing us from having a real conversation.

Count me among the amazed that this woman can have supporters at all, much less at this point in time. Seeing the empty theaters for this cheerleading movie about a cheerleader will be rewarding. It's just embarrassing, and ruining the country frankly, at what we look for as our new political leadership. I really miss the days where candidates actually had to debate realistic ideas and you voted based on your opinion of the results of those debates as opposed to the sound bite, gotcha politicking that goes on now to obfuscate what these people and their backers are doing while the country is being robbed blind.

Some poor liberal posted a claim from ThinkProgress that Corporate Profits are way up under Obama.
He's right. They are. Unfortunately, all the profits from the big multinationals are coming from their Chinese and Indian operations, not from here. Under Bush and Obama, the multinationals have been allowed to screw the working people of this country.
And they installed their poodle, Obama, in the White House. Nice going, liberals!

16th Karmapa on the left and 17th Karmapa on the right.
My morning ritual includes one of my favorite things. The Aeropress coffee maker. I especially enjoy French Press coffee but this method is better; Brewing time is less, there are no grounds in my coffee and the mess in very minimal.
Favorite Coffee Maker
Coffee's Big Adventure
Do you know where Coffee came from and who invented it? The legend is that an Ethiopian goatherder noticed that his goats where more "spirited" and had a "spring" in their step, after eating berries from a certain tree. "Jumping Goats". Legend continues that the goathearder reported his observations to a local monastery after which the monks would gather the berries and make a drink out of it. From there the potent berry's news spread. In the 15th century Arabs were the first to plant coffee crops. During the 17th century coffee became popular (over 300 coffee houses in London) yet very controversial ( referred to as the 'biter invention of Satan'). During this time the Arab's monopoly changed when the Dutch was able to obtain coffee seedlings. Coffee then spread worldwide by such companies as the Dutch West India Company, armed merchant ships with a strong presence in the Atlantic, where a coffee seedling was planted and took root in Martinique. Coffee plantations quickly spread in the Caribbean to Africa and the South and Central Americas. So now when we drink our morning coffee we can take a visual historical journey of these favorite little berries.
If you enjoy historical fiction I recommend reading The Coffee Trader by David Liss

A Wasted Summer; Guilty Mom Syndrom
The kids go back to school in a week. There is both relief as well regret in my heart. Relief that there is going to be a regular schedule for the kids. Regret because I feel like I did not provide them a summer to look back on and have fond memories.
I decided to try to work during weekdays this summer. Now that the kids are a bit older I thought that they would enjoy mom being gone during the first part of the day. I worked out a shift, 5am to 1pm, with modifications to accommodate my son's swim team schedule. In the past I either took summers off, worked nights or worked weekends. This left the kids with either one or both parents at home with them.
So what did the kids do this summer? Not much but sat at home on the computer, playing video games on the game console and watch TV. Their father and I decided that they should not go out and play with their friends when a parent was not home. A side note here my son received a knee full of stitches after "jumping" his electric scooter. With a teenage son it is always best to be available for such mishaps. My son, Robin did get to the pool 2-3 times a week, depending on if mom and dad was able to juggle our own work schedules. Sadly, my son, would sometimes have to wait, up to an hour, for me to get off work to come get him. When I did come home I would take a nap to catch up on sleep lost. In my own mind, by the time I got up from my nap the day was literally shot.
Looking back I really feel that this summer was a wast. A big wast of my efforts. Gone opportunities to have fun with the kids. I will not get back the time lost to build my relationships with my teens . Squandered opportunities for the kids to have the time to explore with friends and family. Lost time to build their own self-esteem, that I feel middle and high school so efficiently dismantles.
If I had to do it all over again I know I would have something different? What would I do different, I do not know. All I know is that it is difficult to parent and I continually second guess my efforts.
Waking by the sound of alarm. Falling out of my warm bed and slipping into my suit and sweats. Grabbing an banana and my backpack. Driving in the cold dark. Going through the heavy maroon double doors, down the vinyl stairs and through the dark quiet hall. As I walk through the last set of double doors the scent of chlorine welcomes me as I stand in the humid embrace of my High School Pool.
The scent of any pool transports me to an earlier time
A Free eBook in Response to the Attack on Bodh Gaya
Originally posted on Shambhala Blog:
Last month, multiple bombs exploded in Bodh Gaya, India, in and around the holiest Buddhist pilgrimage site, the Mahabodhi temple that marks the spot where the Buddha attained enlightenment. In response, Shambhala Publications offers Beyond Anger: How to Hold On to Your Heart and Your Humanity in the Midst of Injustice, a free eBook consisting of excerpts from some of our books from a variety of Buddhist traditions that encapsulate values of love and nonviolence, which we can all practice ourselves.
A chapter from the Karmapa points out the toxicity and uselessness of anger, from a basic, interpersonal level to the wider society at large.

Why I started a Blog.
Why would I start a blog? I used to think that blogging was for the self centered dreamers. I could never figure out the the reason for a childhood diary. I could never figured out the reason to have a gratitude journal, or any journal for that matter. I think about writing letters, but for some reason that seems so antiquated by today's standards. I do not keep an organized recipe box. I don't even make To-Do lists. So why would I type words on the computer for recording purposes? Well I am just not sure. All I know is now, in my middle age, I think I have some interesting things to say and stories to tell. In my own mixed up mind I am not certain what those are, but I do know that if I sit and start to type I will create something. Maybe I am needing a creative outlet. Maybe I feel like no one listens to me anymore. Maybe it is a type of therapy. Maybe I am a self-centered dreamer…..

Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Spartan Camp #232 - 50 gestures + Optional "Workspace Study"
The aim is to produce 50 gestures by Sunday the 29th of July.
- The gestures can be of anything, human, animal, cavorting capybaras.... You can draw full figures, but you can also go for heads, arms, eyes, or anything specific. All media can be used, both digital or traditional. Coloured or black/white. Quick scribbles or long studies. Imagination or referenced. Clothed or nude. Specifics are up to you!
- In addition to this, participants can choose to do an Optional "Workspace Study", in any medium.
Additional notes on this weeks' Optional Study:
The background
"Draw everything" is something you may have heard before. It is often used by members of this and other forums when asked how to improve at drawing. The rationale is simple; if you want to be able to create and draw from imagination, you need to build a visual library and practice drawing whatever you may see. Broaden your horizon! Different shapes and forms, materials, perspective.... You can learn just about anything.... and you may encounter unexpected problems.
The exercise
Draw your workspace, desk, and/or any objects lying around. Your room is fine too. No limitations! This is a small break from the optional studies related to gesture drawing, but challenging nonetheless!
Same as above. I know many artists have done this, so I'll be looking up some examples to post them here.
Edit: here's one (DA) to give you ideas, though slightly too elaborate for a spartan camp optional.
Edit2: I would say this one is more appropriate, (note; by the same artist).
As always- reference advised, not obligatory. Colour, medium, time frame, any specifics are up to you! Good luck and have fun! And feel free to ask questions!
50 poses is a challenge, but don't hurry or stress yourself reaching it! Focus on drawing, as practising is the main goal of this exercise.
Criticizing each other is highly encouraged!! Share constructive criticism, reference images and resources!! Let's help each other get better!
Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!

Interesting challenge. Since I'm traveling I might not have time to draw my workspace, but perhaps I could just draw the place I happen to be at.
Anyways, gestures:
Good start Obstfelder, is that Jack the Ripper I spot there!
I am posting work from the last 2 days, I've done some more leg studies from Bridgeman, and then today I tried to loosen up my gestures, so I took some pastel and afterwards tried to apply this to my pencils. I didn't care how the drawings looked really, just want to get more sensitive line and looseness in my work. Can't say I'm there yet but once and a while something sparked and most importantly I really enjoyed it.

Hamorhage: That's looking really good! I think you are reaching your objective of more loose lines. Great work!
Here are a couple of practices I did today. Still trying to get my lines more confident, and use fewer of them. Been drawing from Artsy poses to get costumed figures. They have more lines to work with.
Haha, Obstfelder, I love your commitment here, of course I shall match your output I like that you are pushing yourself to get more precise with less lines. you might have less pleasing results at first but these are the things that will push your art further in the end. I am kind of trying things out aswell, been using the pencil differently lately, and trying to structure my approach to drawings that last longer then 30 seconds differently. Because when I do life drawing with a model, I usually have more trouble with the longer poses. I applied what I've been trying to do in my 2 min poses to 2x 10 min drawings:
PS: Obstfelder: I just had a look at the last character of the week because I am thinking of joining next time, (the Guard one) and I looked through all drawings without paying attention to the names. Turns out I liked your the best lol, I was surprised to see your name there Nice work!

Quick set of 15 second poses. Trying to work out an efficient method that works for me... haven't exactly found it yet lol.
I plan on doing some 30 seconds and 60 seconds as soon as i can find time...
Great work guys, and thank you to anyone who gave me some feedback last week

Great posts so far guys! I'm going try some comments/crits, sorry if they don't make sense feel free to ignore me lol.
Zombie_chinchilla try not to go over your lines too much. I'm not sure if you're using a timer but maybe give yourself longer on each pose.
Cumquat I really like your full body poses, especially number 49. Can see the movement - if that makes sense lol. I must try this.
AdrianNagorski Your portraits look a bit flat, like they're missing the backs of their heads. The heads on your full body poses are a lot better.
I did the optional one first. Will get the poses done this weekend when I go tourist hunting and Olympics watching.
Here's my workspace.
I didn't time myself for this. The perspective is really off.
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
In a bad mood? Take it out on my sketchbook! All constructive critique welcome!
Website Tumblr Deviant Facebook
@Obstfelder: I like the efficient line stuff. I tried to do some of that earlier today.
@Hamorhage: Exaggerated legs, huh? Looks good. I need to work on anatomy some more too. I haven't done much on it since when it was the drawing topic. The gestures are looking pretty great too. The thin dark line + thicker lighter areas is working well.
@AdrianNagorski: You're getting some nice detail on the wrinkled faces, but the underlying geometry is off. For now you may want to block things in with some initial guidelines and check their perspective. The full bodies have good line weight, but it's off on some of the faces.
@Cumquat: Nice gestures. Looks good. Are these from imagination, or if not then what are you using for reference?
@Zombie_chinchilla: Looking alright, but try simplifying the shapes more. Your linework will also look a lot better if you don't pet your lines. Even if a stroke isn't totally accurate, it'll look a lot better if you do it once and with confidence. Look at Trozax's stuff, for instance.
@Trozax713: nice and loose. :-)
@Animare: Nice workspace. I have some of those stuffs too.
Workspace stuff? Sounds like fun. I'll set aside some time for that tomorrow after I spend some time sketching at the farmer's market. I think I may try some outline stuff this time.
Here's some gestures from life, from today and yesterday (mostly today). My girlfriend has been doing some figure modeling for me as well, but she's shy. :-)
Just got in from holiday last night and bashed some of these out. 45-60 sec gestures. I do feel like I loosened up but feel like I need to do more short gestures again to really master throwing the form down accurately.
This morning's farmers market sketches and the study of my workspace:
Hamorhage: Thanks! I've been participating for a few weeks now, and I think the challenges are a good motivator. Your last gestures have some very nice flowing lines. watch out for proportions though, second to last one has an oversized head.
AdrianNagorski: Good linework. I think you need to be more mindfull of the values when you do the shading. It looks as if the light/dark relationships in the faces seem too hard and rough. The rendering of the apple has some really good color.
cumquat: Good of you to join in! Some solid gestures, and the faces are looking really good. Maybe try and do one or two longer ones in a larger size?
Zombie_chinchilla: Looks like you know what you are doing, but maybe work on getting more efficient lines.
Trozax713: The figures are maybe a little too simplified and it's difficult to get an impression of the poses. If you want to go that simple try to use a much thicker brush and vary the opacity of the strokes.
Animare: Nice workspace, and very nice lines. Must have taken you quite a bit of time
SmallPoly: Thanks! Great work on the gestures. I really get a good sense of the clothes and faces. And the workspace study is looking sweet.
J8stine: A lot of good gestures in there. The feet and hands are a bit lumpy. You could try and pay some extra attention to the lines in those.
Here are some gestures I did over the last few days. Still trying to do the minimalistic line approach, and struggeling with the 30 second drawings. The 5 minute ones are getting better though
Didn't have time for drawing my workspace as I've just came back home, but maybe later today.
So I tried some more, some 30 sec, some 60, and two 2 mins. I tried to improve my line work, but I can still use some practice. It goes against every fiber in my being to not pet the lines, but I think I've got it.

Did some more gestures this morning. I'm going to try the workspace study tonight.
Zombiechinchilla try to loosen up a bit with your gestures. It might be a good idea to try and do them at a smaller size - thumbnails almost.
AdrianNagorski ; this might help with your portraits. I plan on trying this excercise soon myself. Basically this guy modelled out the basic head form - ovoid for the skull, face plane and a triangle for placement of eyes and mouth. He rotated it in 3d then used it as a base for a ton of head rotations. You can use your own head as reference but it's great practice and it will help you understand the 3D form better.
hey Obstfelder thanks ! I'll be sure to do some for the next spartan camp. Your long poses are looking great btw.
Hey SmallPoly those gestures are looking fantastic. All from life ? No mine are not from my imagination (I wish ! ). They're from this site online where you can pick male/female, nudes and set a time (these were 1's). It's great for gesturing especially when you can't get out to life drawing. Though I might take a page out of your book and just cafe sketch for one of these spartan challenges.
I think this was it; http://www.lovecastle.org/draw/
okay, this is as far as I got with my workspace study. Thank you all for the comments and encouragement. I know it's a little bit late, but it's still the 30th in my timezone, and this is the soonest I could get home .
Thanks. Yeah, those are from life. The first batch is from a coffee shop that has a good view of an intersection, so there's always people standing relatively still waiting to cross. The second is from the local farmers market. I like the lovecastle site. I've used them a few times before.Hey SmallPoly those gestures are looking fantastic. All from life ?

Dr Teresa Morgan
Nancy Bissell Turpin Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History
I have been a Fellow and Tutor at Oriel since 2000, having studied classics at Cambridge, theology at Oxford, and violin and viola at the Royal Academy of Music.
My research focuses on the cultural history of the later Greek world and the Roman Empire and the early history of Christianity. In Literate Education in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds (CUP, 1998), I explore the role of education in the expanding, fast-changing, socially and culturally complex worlds of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the early Roman Empire. Popular Morality in the Early Roman Empire (CUP, 2007) uses proverbs, fables, gnomic sayings and exemplary stories to argue that below the level of philosophical schools, there was a web of remarkably coherent moral ideas in use in the society of the early principate. I am now working on a study of faith in early Christianity.
I teach Greek and Roman history from the eighth century BCE to the fourth century CE. Among my particular interests are theoretical approaches to the writing of history, the history of sex, sexuality and gender, the history of religions, papyrology and all forms of social history.

The Daily Fix: Stainless Steel Smudges Be Gone!
Feb 10th 2010 8:30AM I was told by the appliance store to never use glass cleaner due to the ammonia in it. It can cause rusty looking spots. The stainless wipes I have came from a friend who is in the heating ands cooling business. I only use them a few times a year because the directions tell you to wear rubber gloves when applying due to the toxic chemicals. I think I will try WD-40. Nothing to lose.

Discounting and Expropriation Risk
AbstractThis paper investigates the association between discounting and risk of expropriation and provides the theoretical conditions that make a positive association consistent with rationality. Moreover, using a national representative sample and a representative sample of the 50+ in eleven European countries, we show that discounting increases with expropriation risk. The two surveys give direct measures of discount rate as well as measures derived from households consumption decisions and provide proxies for expropriation from government and expropriation from criminal offenses.

BACKGROUND: This study was undertaken to determine whether use of the direct renin inhibitor aliskiren would reduce cardiovascular and renal events in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, or both.
METHODS: In a double-blind fashion, we randomly assigned 8561 patients to aliskiren (300 mg daily) or placebo as an adjunct to an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin-receptor blocker. The primary end point was a composite of the time to cardiovascular death or a first occurrence of cardiac arrest with resuscitation; nonfatal myocardial infarction; nonfatal stroke; unplanned hospitalization for heart failure; end-stage renal disease, death attributable to kidney failure, or the need for renal-replacement therapy with no dialysis or transplantation available or initiated; or doubling of the baseline serum creatinine level.
RESULTS: The trial was stopped prematurely after the second interim efficacy analysis. After a median follow-up of 32.9 months, the primary end point had occurred in 783 patients (18.3%) assigned to aliskiren as compared with 732 (17.1%) assigned to placebo (hazard ratio, 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98 to 1.20; P=0.12). Effects on secondary renal end points were similar. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were lower with aliskiren (between-group differences, 1.3 and 0.6 mm Hg, respectively) and the mean reduction in the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio was greater (between-group difference, 14 percentage points; 95% CI, 11 to 17). The proportion of patients with hyperkalemia (serum potassium level,≥6 mmol per liter) was significantly higher in the aliskiren group than in the placebo group (11.2% vs. 7.2%), as was the proportion with reported hypotension (12.1% vs. 8.3%) (P<0.001 for both comparisons).
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of aliskiren to standard therapy with renin-angiotensin system blockade in patients with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for cardiovascular and renal events is not supported by these data and may even be harmful.
