Deliverables....
I think I'm finally finished! I thought I should address the fact that all of my works cited are electronic. I am waiting for a few books to come in the mail, and I'm obviously planning on finding some more research. At this point, I've only been looking online. I do have quite a bit of info though. I think I've got everything included in my paper...we'll see!

Positive Feedback
While doing research and looking for black widow experts I came across The American Arachnid Society, and their head "expert", Jerome Rovner. I wrote him an email and explained what I was doing, and he gave me contact information for a man named Chuck Christiansen, founder of Spiderpharm.com. Jerome told me he knows more about black widows than anyone else in the world, and supplies their venom to pharmaceutical companies. I emailed Chuck, who got back to me almost immediately with a bunch of scientific articles that show molecular makeup of the venom and antibodies. So exciting! That's exactly what I needed so that I could model them close up. Things seem to be coming together...

Continued research....
I'm continuing to write my paper and figure out where to get some more research for my thesis topic. I visited Barnes and Noble, because I figure I should buy some books on the subject and not just borrow them, but they didn't have anything I needed. I'm going to try a few other book stores tomorrow. I'm waiting for some email replies and seeking out experts on the subject of spiders and poisonous venoms. I'll keep everyone posted on any new happenings....

Storyboard troubles and Current Progress..
Sorry that my storyboards are so small! I'm working on a way to be able to click on them and make them bigger, if anyone has any suggestions let me know!
My current state is RESEARCH...there's a lot of specifics I don't know about, so I'm currently researching books I can buy and experts I can get in touch with....I'll post when I find something!

Widow's Peak Logo
I've made a logo for now, it shows where I am visually in my project. I don't want this to be my final logo, because I want the spider that is in the logo to be one that I modeled eventually. The text is visually in the shape of a mountain, which refers to the campsite. Any input and more ideas would be appreciated!
