Designed for students and artists who need a firm, sturdy surface for sketching and a means to carry their sketching paper with them. Two heavy clips on the large board (only one on the small) hold a sketch pad firmly in place, and, once a sketch is completed, the oversized rubber band holds the bottom in place while it is being transported.
The board is made of 1/8" (3 mm) thick masonite and is very lightweight, with rounded corners for safety. A hand hole makes carrying easier.
Replacement Large Rubber Band
Keep your artwork flat and secure with Tote Board Rubber Bands. Each rubber band measures 10-3/4" long and 7/8" wide, ideal for securing your artwork at both ends of a drawing board.

Good Board
By Miss. O
from Utah
I use this board for my figure drawing classes. It holds my 18 x 24 newsprint pad well. The things I enjoy most about this board are its dark color, smooth finish, and flat clips. The flat profile clips make it easy to slide in and out of my portfolio/carrying case without catching on the sides or zipper. I also noted that the clips are very strong, and easy to open from a sitting position (I sit on a wooden "horse/donkey" for figure drawing). All in all, it's an attractive board that does its job well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Blick Sketch Pad Boards
By Nancy
from Binghamton, NY
I have wanted a board a long time, they can run very pricey, then I found this one on Blick. I have the smaller size, just right for me. I draw and watercolor on mine with no issues. I made a make shift shoulder strap handers from large binder clips and an old strap to hold the board while standing. Works great!

Blick Sketch Board
By Joanne
from Pa
I use this drawing board to draw but also to paint pictures. I am a watercolor painter and use this board with watercolor drawing pencils and it it is extremely useful both inside and outside of my home. It is very lightweight and afforable not to mention very portable to carry around.
Comfortable size and smooth surface
By Sherie
from Michigan
I really, really like using this for my coloring. Enough surface for copy cardstock with enough room left over to rest my arm. The handy handle helps my ability to carry a lot of items in one trip.
bands are too short
By TJames
from Lexington, NC
The boards are great; however, the large rubber bands will not stretch across the boards. I am very disappointed. I have tried several times, my students have tried.
Merchant response: Thank you for reaching out! We apologize for the issues you've had with the rubber bands, and we'd like to help. One of our Customer Care Agents will be reaching out via email to assist you.
I'd buy this product again, because of the good quality.
By Picachu
from Columbus Ga.
The drawing board was of great quality value.

Okays. Just so you people know, I didn't mean to imply that transwomen didn't count as women and transmen didn't count as men. I know they do.
That question came up in response to Magdlyn saying that a person who didn't particularly identify as either gender would be categorized as hetero or homo based upon their physiology. I was asking, if that was the case, would that logic apply to transpeople as well?
Tonberry's response made much more sense to me.
In the end, your orientation is what it is, and it might change and fluctuate (or rather, what you identify as might), but it might not. Don't hope for it to change is my point, deal with what you've got.
To get more specific, I have reasons for believing that I'm not 100% straight. I definitely get aroused by
looking at
an attractive women, especially if she's not wearing much
. But I'm only interested in
doing things with
men, and have only wanted romantic relationships with men.
There is one girl who I love very much and feel a strong connection with - and find very attractive - but the thought of a physical relationship with her makes me squick a little. I'm not sure whether that's society's heteronormative programming making me feel like it would be "corrupting" her, or if it's just that I'm naturally not interested in sexual interactions with women?
So my orientation is basically towards men for all practical intents and purposes, which is why I say I'm attracted to men.

Karen Long is no stranger to entrepreneurship, having worked at fast-growing startups in everything from biotech to wine. But with her newest company, Nuelle, she faced some hurdles that she's never encountered before.
Nuelle is a device that is designed to encourage arousal for women who experience problems with their sex drive at various stages in their lives. Long says she started the company after conducting extensive user research, in which many women shared that they lacked alternatives to hormone therapies.
"This was where we saw one of the greatest unmet needs in health care," says Long, who saw an opportunity to create a device-based alternative. After assembling an all-female executive team that included obstetrician Leah Millheiser and former Art.com senior vice president of marketing Lesa Musatto, she set forth for Sand Hill Road to secure the company's first big check.
Long expected that it would take some time to find the right set of backers, but she didn't anticipate her all-female team being referred to by a male partner as "the Charlie's Angels." Nor did she expect that she'd face the kind of blatant dismissals that she did: She was regularly laughed at in pitch meetings, and was told by several venture capitalists that she must be exaggerating the data, as "it doesn't happen to my wife."
Long did succeed in raising capital from New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Correlation Ventures, and is readying for her next round after releasing the first product. NEA's health investor Josh Makower noted in a recent interview that the fundraising process for Nuelle was a unique and challenging feat, despite the extent of the problem and the market size.
Fortunately for Long and other founders, some reports are finding a rise in institutional investment in women's and children's health. Seed fund Rock Health looked specifically at digital health startups and noted a steady increase since 2011. Five years ago, when the firm started recording data, no companies in this category raised more than $2 million. By the third quarter of 2015, nine companies had already raised $84 million. The same report found that about a quarter of women's health companies that raise venture capital have female CEOs, which might seem low, but it is higher than the 7% average for health-tech startups.
But as with any space, some categories are trendier than others from an investment standpoint. Fertility and reproductive health is gaining traction. Women get their period monthly for decades, which puts it in a different category to pregnancy-related products that are only used for a small window of time. Some examples are Glow, a fertility tracking app (incidentally, started by six men); Thinx, maker of period-proof undies; Lola, a tampon delivery service; and Looncup from Loonlabs, a smart menstrual cup.
In light of this trend, some who follow the space say that women's health is no more challenging than any other area of health technology. "From what I am seeing, fundraising in general is hard, and even harder in the health care landscape," says Carla Brenner, founder of Health Tech Women. "I would not single out women's health."
"Finer Points Of Problems"
But in interviews with Fast Company, many founders of women's health companies shared harrowing stories that highlighted ongoing cultural resistance from the venture capital community.
Some, like venture capitalist Tammi Jantzen, have chalked it up to the lack of female investors. Recent studies have found that about 7% of venture capitalists at the top 100 firms are women. As Jantzen noted in a recent op-ed, some of the "finer points of problems," such as childbirth injuries, women's sexual health, symptoms of menopause, and even early childhood health have largely been missed by the mostly male venture capital community.
Julia Cheek, founder of an at-home testing company for women called Everly Well, says that conversations with male investors took a turn for the awkward when she shared plans for a breast milk nutrient test. Cheek believes that this makes it inherently harder to win funding. "There are just fewer investors who have industry expertise or are actual consumers of the product," she says.
Even male entrepreneurs of women's health companies shared similar tales. When fundraising for his pregnancy wearables startup, Bloom Technologies, Eric Dy says he heard some investors dismiss the space altogether because they're "not familiar enough with it."
At one point, Dy considered passing on the baton to a female CEO who might make a more compelling case. But he was cautioned against it, as investors told him they had seen female executives of similar companies get rejected on the basis that it's "just their own personal experience." Lesser entrepreneurs would have given up, he says, but the turning point came after his team received a startup award from Richard Branson. It also helped to start personalizing the narrative as much as possible to highlight the physical and emotional toll of pregnancy complications for families. "You have to find ways to get them emotionally invested," he says.
A "Niche" Market
Despite the fact that women account for half the population, many of the founders I spoke with say they also heard that their product is too "niche" to generate a sizable return.
That might be legitimately the case with some startups, but other investors feel that it's unfair to paint the category with a broad brush. Bessemer Venture Partners' Steve Kraus has heard that criticism before, despite that "his most successful deal ever" was in women's health: a now-public fertility company called OvaScience. "It's hard for some male investors to understand women's health issues," he says. "To say that it's not a big enough market is ludicrous."
But it's not all doom and gloom for budding women's health entrepreneurs. Long says she'll frequently get together with other founders to share best practices and war stories. These support networks are increasingly vital to her company's growth. "I haven't felt much competition from other women's health companies," she says. "We know that we all have a better shot if we help each other."

MoodPanda.com and World Mental Health Week
Bristol based Web Site MoodPanda.com is helping the efforts to raise awareness of mental health as part of World Mental Health Week (October 10 - 14th) One in four people experience some kind of mental health problem during their life.
Bristol based Web Site MoodPanda.com is helping the efforts to raise awareness of mental health as part of World Mental Health Week (October 10 - 14th)
One in four people experience some kind of mental health problem during their life, and being able to talk about it is something that is important for us all.
Whether it's fear or embarrassment about talking to someone we know about their mental health problem, or our own mental health problem, reluctance to talk about it helps no one, and sharing your problems can help towards an improvement.
Founded in Bristol last year, MoodPanda.com is a free Web Site and iPhone app, built specifically to allow people to track their own happiness, and to keep a graphical history of their wellbeing along with a record of the things that influence how they feel.
This fun approach to focussing on happiness is an effective way to raise awareness of the issues, and to give a forum for people to do something positive.
Tens of thousands of people have been tracking their happiness on the website over the past year, supporting each other in their problems, and for many it is not just a fascinating thing to do, it has led to some positive effect on their mood. One of the site's users, "DP", said "Being able to track my mood has given me insights into my own psychology that ultimately have led to an improvement in my quality of life"
Reducing the stigma of mental health issues is invaluable in improving the well being of those affected by them, and we hope that MoodPanda.com is one small step towards doing this, as well as providing a space for a fun, supportive community of Moody Pandas!
You can join MoodPanda.com now for free - see how your mood changes as Winter approaches, keep a record of your happy memories, make someone smile, and help be part of a community that really care.

Into the Light: Lawrence Daws and Queensland's Legal Landscape
Into the Light: Lawrence Daws and Queensland's Legal Landscape exhibition told the story behind the Supreme Court's treasured mural painting, which hangs on the third floor of the Queen Elizabeth II Courts of Law building in George Street, Brisbane.
In 1981, eminent Queensland artist Lawrence Daws was commissioned to create a large-scale painting that visually traced the Supreme Court's fascinating history - from the dark days of penal settlement to the more enlightened times of the late 20th century.
The mural, titled The Development of Justice in Queensland, was painted at Owl Creek - Daws' renowned artists' retreat and studio on the Sunshine Coast. The 10 metre long mural is, in effect, a depiction of Queensland's legal landscape. It contains obvious historic references as well as the artist's more concealed symbolism.
The Supreme Court Library Queensland is fortunate to own the entire archive of preparatory material for this major work, including Daws' sketchbooks, small 'test' paintings, documentary photographs, correspondence, plans and research notes.
This wonderful archive was donated to the Library in 2009 by then Supreme Court Judge the Hon Margaret White AO and Dr Michael White QC and is the focus of this exhibition.
The archive is unique as it reveals the creative research and decision-making process of one of Australia's leading artists. It also provides an invaluable insight into the history of justice in Queensland, including portraits of key judicial figures over the decades.
The exhibition was curated by Brisbane-based author and curator Timothy Morrell, in collaboration with Lawrence Daws and the Supreme Court Library's Heritage and Education Programs team. Read Timothy Morrell's essay on the Archival Material for the Lawrence Daws Mural to find out more about this amazing painting and the story behind it.
Read a recent article on the exhibition in Proctor - Queensland Law Society's magazine.

A slow start.
I missed my first flight yesterday due to weather and my backup flight was full. But I found the most comfortable couch in the quietest part of the airport and made some sleep happen. Last night while I was people watching, an American girl sat next to me and I heard her talking to someone who was obviously more sentimental than her. Phrases like "it's only a year" and "ok I love you too. Ok bye. Ok. Ok. Alright. ...

The Australian Navy's Appleleaf-class underway-replenishment oiler HMAS Westralia , shown here earlier this year, returned from her last overseas deployment in April 2006 and was decommissioned in September, following the early conversion and delivery of her replacement, HMAS Sirius . One of a class of four merchant tankers, the Sirius was formerly named Delos before being purchased by Australia in 2004 from Tsakos Energy Navigation Ltd., of Athens, Greece, for 50 million U.S. dollars. The contract for the design and modifications necessary to convert her to a naval vessel was also issued in 2004. Between July 2004 and August 2006, the Sirius underwent conversion to become a naval auxiliary. In addition, the fifth Armidale-class patrol craft, HMAS Pirie , was commissioned on 29 July 2006, while the 13th and 14th units of the class, to be named the Gleneg and Marysborough respectively, have been ordered and are expected in service by 2009.

Susan Sarandon, na FAO, em Roma - 15-10-2010 - IMG_1420
Susan Sarandon
A text from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Sarandon (born October 4, 1946) is an American actress. She has worked in films and television since 1969, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1995 film Dead Man Walking. She had also been nominated for the award for four films before that and has received other recognition for her work. She is also noted for her social and political activism for a variety of liberal causes.
Early life
Sarandon, the eldest of nine children in a Roman Catholic[1] family, was born as Susan Abigail Tomalin in New York City, as the daughter of Leonora Marie (née Criscione) and Phillip Leslie Tomalin (26 September 1917 – 26 March 1999), who worked as an advertising executive, television producer, and nightclub singer during the big band era.[2][3] Sarandon's father was of English, Irish and Welsh ancestry, and her Italian American mother's ancestors emigrated from the regions of Tuscany and Sicily.[2][4][5] Sarandon attended Roman Catholic schools.[1] She grew up in Edison, New Jersey,[6][7] where she graduated from Edison High School in 1964. She then attended The Catholic University of America, from 1964 to 1968, and earned a BA in drama and worked with noted drama coach and master teacher, Father Gilbert V. Hartke.
In 1969, Sarandon went to a casting call for the motion-picture Joe, with her then-husband Chris Sarandon. Although he did not get a part, she was cast in a major role of a disaffected teen, who disappears into the seedy underworld.[clarification needed] (The film was released in 1970). Between the years 1970 and 1972, Sarandon played Patrice Kahlman on the short-lived soap opera A World Apart, and on Search for Tomorrow, in the role of Sarah Fairbanks. She appeared in Fleur bleue (The Apprentice) (1971) and also appeared in Lady Liberty (1971), by Mario Monicelli, opposite Sophia Loren.
In 1974, she co-starred in The Front Page, with the comedy duo Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and Lovin' Molly with Anthony Perkins. She appeared in the cult favorite musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). That same year, she played the female lead in The Great Waldo Pepper, opposite Robert Redford. In 1978, Sarandon played the mother of a child prostitute, who was played by Brooke Shields, in Pretty Baby.

Her most controversial film appearance[citation needed] was in The Hunger in 1983, a modern vampire story in which she had a lesbian sex scene with Catherine Deneuve. The film was a critical and commercial flop but gained a cult following.[citation needed] Sarandon played one of the leads in the 1987 dark comedy/fantasy film The Witches of Eastwick, opposite Jack Nicholson. Sarandon starred in the 1988 film Bull Durham, which became a huge commercial and critical success. In 1989, she co-starred with Marlon Brando in A Dry White Season.
Sarandon received five Academy Award nominations, for best actress, in Atlantic City (1980), Thelma & Louise (1991), Lorenzo's Oil (1992) and The Client (1994). In 1995, she won the award for her performance in Dead Man Walking.[citation needed]
Additional performances in film include Little Women (1994), Compromising Positions, Stepmom (1998), Anywhere but Here (1999), Cradle Will Rock (1999), The Banger Sisters (2002), Shall We Dance (2004), Alfie (2004), Romance & Cigarettes (2005), Elizabethtown (2005) and Enchanted (2007).
Sarandon has appeared in two episodes of The Simpsons, one as herself ("Bart Has Two Mommies") and another as a ballet teacher, "Homer vs. Patty and Selma". She has made appearances on comedies such as Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Mad TV, Saturday Night Live, Chappelle's Show, 30 Rock, and Rescue Me.[citation needed]
Sarandon has contributed the narration to some two dozen documentary film, many of which dealt with social and political issues;[citation needed] in addition, she has served as the presenter on many installments of the PBS documentary series, Independent Lens. In 2007, she hosted and presented Mythos, a series of lectures by the late American mythology professor Joseph Campbell.[8]
Sarandon joined the cast of the adaptation of The Lovely Bones, opposite Rachel Weisz, and appeared with her daughter, Eva Amurri, in Middle of Nowhere; both of the movies were filmed in 2007.[9][10]
In June 2010, Sarandon joined the cast of new HBO pilot The Miraculous Year. She will play the role of Patty Atwood, a Broadway director/choreographer.[11]
[edit]Personal life
Sarandon began a relationship with fellow college student Chris Sarandon, in 1964, and they married on September 16, 1967.[12] After their separation, Sarandon discussed their relationship in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine in 1978, in which she stated "I no longer believe in marriage."[13] They divorced in 1979 and she retained Sarandon as her stage name.[14]
In the late 1970s, Sarandon had a two-year relationship with director Louis Malle, who directed her in Pretty Baby and Atlantic City.[12]
In the mid-1980s, Sarandon dated director Franco Amurri, with whom she had a daughter in 1985, actress Eva Amurri.[14]
From 1986 to 2009,[15] Sarandon was in a relationship with actor Tim Robbins, whom she met while she filmed Bull Durham. They had two sons — Jack Henry (born 1989) and Miles Guthrie (born 1992).[14]
Sarandon and Robbins often worked together on the same social and political causes. In 2006, Sarandon received the Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Award.[16] She was honored for her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, an advocate for victims of hunger and HIV/AIDS and a spokesperson for Heifer International. Sarandon also participates as a member of the Jury for the NYICFF, a local New York City Film Festival that is dedicated to screening films for children between the ages of 3 and 18.[17] In 2006, Sarandon and 10 of her relatives (including her then-partner Tim Robbins and her son Miles) travelled to Wales to trace her family's Welsh genealogy. Their journey was documented by the BBC Wales programme, Coming Home: Susan Sarandon.[5] In 2006, she also received the "Ragusani nel mondo" prize, since she had recently discovered her Sicilian roots, in Ragusa, Italy.
One of her favorite hobbies is playing table tennis. She is involved in a New York Table Tennis Club, Spin; a club that she frequents when she doesn't film.[18]
[edit]Political activism
Sarandon is noted for her active support of progressive and left-liberal political causes, ranging from donations made to organizations such as EMILY's List,[19] to participating in a 1983 delegation to Nicaragua sponsored by MADRE, an organization that promotes "social, environmental and economic justice."[20] Sarandon has also expressed support for various human rights causes that are similar philosophically to ideas found among the Christian left.[21]
In 1995, Sarandon was one of many Hollywood actors, directors and writers who were interviewed for the documentary The Celluloid Closet, which looked at how Hollywood films have depicted homosexuality. In 1999, she was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In that capacity, she has actively supported the organization's global advocacy, as well as the work of the Canadian UNICEF Committee.
Susan Sarandon in April 2007
During the 2000 election, Sarandon supported Ralph Nader's run for President, serving as a co-chair of the National Steering Committee of Nader 2000.[22]
During the 2004 election campaign, she withheld support for Nader's bid, being among several "Nader 2000 Leaders" who signed a petition that urged voters to vote for Democratic Party candidate John Kerry.[23] After the 2004 election, Sarandon called for US elections to be monitored by international entities.[24]
Sarandon and Robbins both took an early stance against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with Sarandon stating that she was firmly against the concept of the war as a pre-emptive strike.[25] Prior to a 2003 protest sponsored by the United for Peace and Justice coalition, she said that many Americans "do not want to risk their children or the children of Iraq".[26] Sarandon was one of the first to appear in a series of political ads sponsored by TrueMajority, an organization established by Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream founder Ben Cohen.[27][28] Also in 2003, Sarandon appeared in a "Love is Love is Love" commercial, which promoted the acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
In 2004, she served on the advisory committee for the group 2004 Racism Watch.[29] She hosted a section of the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2005. In 2006, she was one of eight women who were selected to carry in the Olympic flag at the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, in Turin, Italy.
Along with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, Sarandon took part in a 2006 Mother's Day protest, which was sponsored by Code Pink;[30] she has expressed interest in portraying Sheehan in a movie.[31] In January 2007, she appeared with Robbins and Jane Fonda at an anti-war rally in Washington, D.C. in support of a Congressional measure to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq.[32]
In the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Sarandon and Tim Robbins campaigned[33] for John Edwards in the New Hampshire communities of Hampton,[34] Bedford and Dover.[35] When asked at We Vote '08 Kickoff Party "What would Jesus do this primary season", Sarandon said, "I think Jesus would be very supportive of John Edwards."[36]
On March 12, 2011 Susan spoke before a crowd in Madison WI during a protest[37] of Governer Scott Walker and his "Budget Repair Bill".

A work of suspense and psychological tension set in the world of international humanitarian aid, Checkpoint is the latest bestselling novel by the founder of Doctors Without Borders, Jean-Christophe Rufin.
The four men accompanying Maud on the aid convoy are very different from the clichéd image of the humanitarian volunteer. One by one, they reveal the secret wounds that have brought them to this conflict zone and, mile by mile, the true nature of their cargo.
Prize-winning author, Jean-Christophe Rufin offers up a powerful psychological literary thriller that asks vital questions about the role of humanitarian action in today's world, bringing to light the most fundamental dilemmas of our age. As a new kind of violence insinuates its way into the heart of Europe, this novel asks whether it is more effective to take up arms against the enemy or attempt to counter violence with benevolent acts and enlightenment ideals.
Jean-Christophe Rufin
Jean-Christophe Rufin is one of the founders of Doctors Without Borders and a former Ambassador of France in Senegal. He has written numerous bestsellers, including The Abyssinian, for which he won the Goncourt Prize for a debut novel in 1997. He also won the Goncourt Prize in 2001 for Brazil Red.

Betty's Sopapilla Cheesecake
|For cheesecake filling
|Cream cheese
|16 Ounce, softened
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Vanilla extract
|1 Teaspoon
|Cooking oil spray
|1⁄2 Teaspoon (for greasing)
|For crust
|Crescent roll dough
|16 Ounce (Two 8 oz. refrigerated cans)
|For topping
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|1 Teaspoon
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), softened
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
1. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish with vegetable cooking spray and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.
3. In a medium sized bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
4. Unroll and lay dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Press the dough evenly.
5. Top the dough with the cheese mixture and spread evenly.
6. Then, unroll the second package of crescent roll dough onto the (clean) countertop. Just like with the first roll of dough, using your fingers, press the dough, being sure to join any perforated sections.
7. Once you have a completely joined sheet of crescent dough, lift the sheet of dough and place it directly on top of the cream cheese mixture in the baking pan, to cover the cheese mixture.
8. For topping, in a small bowl, combine the softened butter, sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
9. Using a teaspoon, evenly dot the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture over the top layer of crescent dough.
10. Pop the dish in oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes (but check on it sooner), depending on your oven, until puffed and golden brown.
11. Remove from oven and drizzle with the honey.
12. Cool completely. You can refrigerate the cheesecake once it has cooled completely.
12. Cut with a pastry knife into wedges and serve.
