|UN General Assembly announces historic commitment to fight noncommunicable diseases
GENEVA / NEW YORK/ 19 September 2011 (WHO) - The World Health Organization (WHO) welcomes the adoption today by the UN General Assembly of the political declaration on the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, chronic respiratory disease and cancer which together kill some 36 million people each year. For the first time, global leaders have reached consensus in the General Assembly on concrete actions to tackle these diseases.
Governments agreed on the need for global targets to monitor these diseases and their risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and the harmful use of alcohol. The UN General Assembly has asked WHO to develop a framework for monitoring global progress and to prepare, before the end of 2012, recommendations for a set of global targets to monitor trends and assess the progress in countries to reduce the toll of suffering, disability and premature death due to these diseases.
Global leaders committed to greater efforts to prevent and treat noncommunicable diseases and improve health care including better access to vital medicines. Success will depend on the engagement of non-health sectors such as finance, agriculture, transportation, urban development, and trade. Governments will integrate policies to reduce noncommunicable diseases into health planning processes and national development agendas.
The declaration is a clear signal that global leaders acknowledge the devastating impact of noncommunicable diseases worldwide and that they are committed to reducing it. The next step is to act on those commitments.

At the end of the exhibition it would be a good idea to turn off the air conditioner and let the glaciers melt. Is a good way to create consciousness about global warming.
@Miguel Rodriguez it says this at the end of the article. "At the end of the exhibition in September, the glaciers "will do what they would have done without the exhibition weeks ago," says Biesenbach. That is, they will melt."

Chippewas to Play Duquesne, Robert Morris and Xavier
Mount Pleasant, Mich. — The Central Michigan volleyball program will look to rebound from a 1-2 start to the season at this weekend's Robert Morris/Duquesne Tournament.
The Chippewas play the host schools first, starting with Duquesne (1-2) on Friday at 7 p.m and opening up on Saturday at 11 a.m with Robert Morris (0-3). The Chippewas will play Xavier (2-1) at 4 p.m on Saturday to close out the tournament.
All three contests will have a free audio stream through CMUChippewas.com for the first time. Fans can visit the website prior to the start of each contest for a link to the stream.
• The Chippewas received a solid effort from senior setter Kelly Maxwell, as she averaged double digit assists per set in all three matches during the weekend. Her performance at Oakland matched her pace from last season, which saw her ranked 11th in the nation in that category.
• Senior libero Jenna Coates posted her best numbers of the tournament in the final match against Villanova, and was instrumental in the team's win, as she averaged five digs per set in the contest.
• Sophomore middle blocker Angelique White was named to the Golden Grizzlies Invitational All-Tournament team last weekend after hitting a blister .412 with 45 kills over three matches.
• Duquesne brings back two pivotal members of a squad that finished 22-11 last season, including a 13-6 record in non-conference matches, in sophomore setter Mary Henry and junior middle hitter Arielle Love.
• Robert Morris returns junior setter Hannah Hoffman and others to the hardwood to help freshman outside hitter Arden Fisher adjust to the level of play. RMU finished 4-14 in non-conference games last season.
• Xavier looks to build on it's strong 2012 season (21-11 overall 10-8 non-conference) by returning key players on its offense, including junior setter Aubree Smith and senior Sarah Brown at outside hitter.

Atlanta Day 7: Chop Suey Dinner at House of Chan
On our last night in Atlanta, Ben brought me to a Chinese restaurant in the neighbourhood. He still crave for Asian food.
Deep fried wonton skin as appetizer. The restaurant was dimly lit; so, the photographs did not turn up well.
We ordered the house soup which is egg drop soup with prawns and chicken. Slightly thickish and quite a lot of meat. More on following page. Click here to continue reading
Atlanta Day 7: Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site – Part 2
After visiting the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, we proceeded to the National Residential Area on Auburn Avenue. This is still an active community.
This is the historic Fire Station No. 6 across the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. This fire station was built in 1894 in Romanesque Revival style. It stood guard over the city for nearly 100 years. It closed in 1991.
First, we visited the Reflecting Pool that surrounds the tomb of Dr. and Mrs. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Eternal Flame. More on following page. Click here to continue reading
Atlanta Day 7: Martin Luther King, Jr National Historic Site – Part 1
When driving to the Fox Brothers BBQ, we drove past the Martin Luther King, Jr National Historic Site. Since we did not have anything planned for our last day in Atlanta, we decided to visit this historic site since we were in the neighbourhood.
I was surprised to see the Gandhi statue when we walked from the car park to the front door. Apparently, Dr. and Mrs King travelled to India in 1959 as guests of Prime Minister Nehru to study the nonviolent teachings of Mahatma Ghandhi.
Dr. King credited his success to the philosophy of nonviolence he learned from the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, Mahatma Gandhi, and others.
There is a mural depicting the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. right across the front entrance of the National Park Service Visitor Center.
Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site was established in 1980. The goal is to preserve the places where Martin Luther King, Jr. was born, lived, worked, worshipped, and is buried.
One of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words of wisdom. More on following page. Click here to continue reading
Atlanta Day 7: Lunch at Fox Brother BBQ
Ben slept in because he was awake in the middle of the night. He is a light sleeper.
Ben decided to skip breakfast and go for brunch instead. He wanted to go back to the Fox Brothers BBQ since we could not eat here on the first day. We arrived at 11:00 AM; just as it opens for lunch.
We decided to sit outside under the big tent since it's not too hot.
After checking out the menu, we decided to go for the Everything Plate for USD24.95. We asked the server if it's good for two. The server told us that some people can have this alone but she reaffirmed us that it's definitely good for two.
We were to select two sides and we opted for Baked Beans and Fox-a-ronia which is a Brunswick Stew Mac & Cheese. The Baked Beans were smokey. The Brunswick Stew Mac & Cheese was unique; tomato'ish and cheesy.
Our choice of meat for the platter include Beef Brisket which was quite tender. More on following page. Click here to continue reading
Atlanta Day 6: Cheesecake for Dessert
Since we had an early dinner at Korea town, Ben brought me out for some dessert.
We walked to the Cheesecake Factory at the nearby Cumberland Mall.
It was really dark inside. Bad for taking photograph.
Ben had a Frozen Iced Mango for his drink. Tasted very mango.
The long list of cheesecake made it difficult to choose. So, we went over to the cake counter to take a look at the cakes to help us pick our order. More on following page. Click here to continue reading
Atlanta Day 6: Dinner at Seo Ra Bcol in Korea Town
After the adventure at the Stone Mountain Park, Ben drove to the town of Duluth for dinner. Duluth is a Korea town.
After driving around for a while in Duluth, we decided to have dinner at Seo Ra Bcol Korean BBQ Restaurant because we saw some Koreans leaving the restaurant. If Korean eats here, then it should be good.
7 banchans to whet up our appetite. I enjoyed the anchovies one most (sweetish) and got a refill for that.
We ordered a Black Goat Hot Pot. It's good for two. The hot pot came with two bowls of rice.

Atlanta Day 6: Stone Mountain – Historic Walk-up Trail
Our last activity in the Stone Mountain Park is to hike up the 1 mile historic walk up trail.
The reason was the gondola ride was closed during our visit.

Atlanta Day 6: Stone Mountain – Antebellum Plantation
The facts on this post is extracted from the Antebellum Plantation Map & Guide.
One of the attraction in the Stone Mountain Park is the self guided tour to the Antebellum Plantation. The Antebellum Plantation is a collection of original buildings from around the state of Georgia. They were built between 1792 and 1875.
These buildings represented the diverse lifestyles of the 18th and 19th century Georgia residents.
The above is Kingston, GA, circa 1845. This was the manor house of the 300-acre Allen Plantation. Bryan Allen was an English cotton broker from Savannah who probably built this home as a summerhouse.
The style of the building is characteristic of the late Federal period. Most of the Palladian windows still contain handmade glass. The octagonal columns outside and the overhead timbers downstairs are made of hand-hewn heart pine, adding both strength and beauty to the building.
Various rooms in the Kingston House. You can click on the photos to have a larger view.
The above is the Doctor's Cabin; DeKalb County, GA, circa 1826.
This little cabin is believed to be the oldest building in Dekalb County. It was built by Chapmon Powell, one of the country's first residents. It is typical of most American homes on the American frontier, serving as both a home and a medical office. The logs are "keyed" or locked, into place, making the corners of the cabin strong enough to withstand tornadoes.
Dr. Powell was instrumental in promoting cordial relations with the Cherokee by providing them with lodging and medical care. He also served as Dekalb County Sheriff and in the State Legislature. The house was used as a field hospital in the Battle of Atlanta. More on following page. Click here to continue reading

THE BEST IS YET TO COME: THE MUSIC OF CY COLEMAN With Burnham, Graae, Mayes & More Runs Through 8/2 At Rubicon
Rubicon Theatre Company has announced the cast and creative team for the World Premiere of THE BEST IS YET TO COME: THE MUSIC OF Cy Coleman, which began previews July 9 at Rubicon's intimate 200-seat home at 1006 E. Main Street in Ventura's Downtown Cultural District. The show continues Wednesdays through Sundays through August 2, 2009. The official press opening is Sunday, July 19 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., with a "Rat Pack"-themed post-show party with the cast and Coleman family and friends after the evening performance.
Devised and directed by Tony Award-winner David Zippel (City of Angels), The Best is Yet to Come: The Music of Cy Coleman is produced by Rubicon Theatre Company and MICHAEL JACKOWITZ in association with David Elzer and Barbara Meister. Title sponsors are Barbara Meister - BARBER AUTOMOTIVE and LORETTA AND MIKE MEREWETHER. Musical Direction is by Billy Stritch; orchestrations are by Don Sebesky; and Lorin Latarro serves as Choreographer. Performances are Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., with matinees on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Due to strong presale, Sunday evenings at 7:00 p.m. have been added for the latter part of the run with special pricing for groups of 12 or more. For tickets, go to www.rubicontheatre.org., or call (805) 667-2900 to charge by phone.
In a career spanning seven decades, Cy Coleman created a glittering string of pop standards made famous by the likes of Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand. He also wrote literally hundreds of hits for the musical theatre, which were performed in shows including City of Angels, Sweet Charity, Barnum, The Life, Little Me and Will Rogers Follies.
The Best is Yet to Come: The Music of Cy Coleman is an elegant evening of songs performed by a stellar cast, including David Burnham (The Light in the Piazza and Wicked on Broadway), Jason Graae (Grand Night for Singing, Falsettos and Forever Plaid on and off Broadway), Sally Mayes (She Loves Me at Roundabout and Urban Cowboy in New York), Julia Murney (Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway), Billy Stritch (42nd Street, Liza Minelli's Musical Director) and Lillias White (The Life, Dreamgirls on Broadway). Both Mayes and White made their Broadway debuts in Coleman shows. These powerhouse vocalists are backed by an onstage eight-piece swing band.
"The structure of the show is similar to that of The World Goes 'Round or Starting Here, Starting Now," says Zippel. The show has no dialogue but has connective staging. It uses the personality of the performers and the sequence of the songs to create a context for each number and continuity."
"For instance," continues Zippel, "the opening number is 'The Best is Yet to Come' in which each performer enters trying to top the prior one. 'Come the day you're mine,' refers to the audience. In addition to highlights from Coleman's musicals and pop standards (sung as solos and in various combinations by the performers), the show also includes a few surprises - unpublishEd Coleman works, and ends with a 'megamix' medley of Cy songs we just couldn't live without. The show will run approximately 85 minutes without intermission."
The germination for the piece began when Coleman, Larry Gelbart and Zippel were working together on City of Angels. One evening after a rehearsal, Zippel askEd Coleman why no revue of his works existed. Coleman quipped, "That's for when I'm gone."

Far from being a drag, saving for your vacation can stoke your anticipation of the incredible times to come, making the weeks leading up to your departure more delicious. Simply use these three tiny tricks to collect cash, and feel calmer and happier, before you go.
Be a one-goal gal. People sock away about triple the money when they have a single savings goal in mind (vacation!), versus several, the Journal of Marketing Research reports. With multiple aims—a new bag, a laptop and the vacay, versus only plane fare to Paris—"you'll spend too much time debating the trade-offs between your desires," says study author Min Zhao, Ph.D. "That leads to procrastinating instead of saving." Name your account "Paris or bust!" and keep your eye on the prize each time you transfer cash.

- Willamette
- Athletics
- Giving to Athletics
- Booster Regulations
Are You an Athletics Representative (Booster)?
A "representative of the institution's athletics interest" is an individual who is known (or who should be known) by a member of the institution's executive or athletics administration to:
- have participated in or is a member of an agency or organization promoting the institution's intercollegiate athletic program
- have made financial contributions to the athletic department or to an athletic booster organization of that institution (e.g., Bearcat Club)
- be assisting or to have been requested (by the athletic department staff) to assist in the recruitment of prospects
- be assisting or to have assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families (for example, helping to arrange summer and/or vacation employment for student-athletes)
- having been otherwise involved in promoting the institution's athletic program.
Once an individual is identified as such a representative, the person retains that identity indefinitely.
Who is a Recruitable Prospective Student-Athlete?
- A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade.
- A contactable prospect: Any in-person, off campus recruiting contact shall not be made with a prospect or the prospect's relatives or legal guardian(s) until the prospect has completed his/her junior year of high school
- Four Year College Prospect: Contact in any manner by an athletic staff member or any other representative of the institution's athletics interest cannot be made with the student-athlete of another four-year college institution, directly or indirectly, without first obtaining written permission to do so, regardless of who makes the initial contact.
- Exception: A member institution may contact a student-athlete who has withdrawn officially from a four-year collegiate institution.
Five Important Rules
- Only coaches and athletic department staff members are permitted to be involved in the recruiting process. Alumni, friends, and other "representatives of athletic interest" who are not employed by the university are not permitted to contact a prospective student-athlete (or members of the prospect's family) by letter, telephone, or in person (on or off campus) for the purpose of soliciting their participation in the athletic program. Willamette faculty members are permitted to engage in in-person contact with prospects, but only on campus.
- A prospective student athlete remains a prospect until the start of classes at the institution or the beginning of official team practice immediately prior to the start of classes after their initial enrollment at the institution.
- Don't do ANYTHING for prospective or enrolled student-athletes without specific authorization from the Willamette University Director of Athletics.
- If a student-athlete accepts any benefits based on his or her special consideration as an athlete or because of athletic skill, the student-athlete will lose all eligibility for intercollegiate athletic participation.
- NCAA rules applicable to enrolled student-athletes are in effect not only during the academic year, but also during the summer months. Enrolled student-athletes are bound by NCAA rules until the end of the academic year in which their athletics eligibility is completed. An even then, some actions, including providing a benefit to such an individual, may cause an NCAA violation.

Colt Group S.A.'s (COLT,COLT.L) full-year 2012 profit after tax, including the 32.0 million euros exceptional restructuring charge, plunged to 26.1 million euros, from 62.3 million euros a year ago. Profit after tax before exceptional items was 58.1 million euros, down 6.7% year-on-year, as the lower operating profit was partially offset by the movement in the tax charge and the foreign exchange gain, the company added.
Excluding exceptional items, annual pre-tax profit totaled 61.8 million euros this year, down 14.2% from the prior year's 72.0 million euros.
Full-year EBITDA before exceptional items grew 0.5% to 333.6 million euros, from 332 million euros in 2011, despite a period of investment in the transformation and growth of the business
However, Group revenue for twelve months went up 2.6% to 1.59 billion euros, from 1.55 billion euros last year, reflecting growth across all major product categories with Voice revenue stabilising in 2012.

text: John Vogel Be On High Alert! Nor' east Thinkin' The forces of nature are conspiring against you Published on: November 8, 2010 Yes, it's that time of year. No, I'm not talking about fattening a turkey (a real one, not a political one) – although a little extra grain might make good gobbling. And no, I'm not "pushing" Christmas shopping – although stores are already selling the Santa Claus spirit. So what am I talking about? Mother Nature has cocked her hammer with the onset of buck "rut" and the hormonal rush that speeds Whitetail deer herds onto roadways. This is the season when we all need to be scouting for deer before they become fender ornaments. After 30-some years of rural road driving, I've got a few miles of experience to draw from. In my rearview mirror, I've watch two deer "take wing" off the front of a Mercedes Benz. During the one week that I didn't have deer whistles mounted, I caught a doe on my right front fender. And once, while following a muffler-less truck, a doe flashed between my vehicle and the truck. I've seen thousands of "blinks" shining in the headlights along the roadsides. Thankfully, they stayed there. "Deer claims are more likely to occur in the early morning or evening hours," reports Darren Birtciel, rate analyst for Erie Insurance. "In fact, 50% of deer claims occur between 5 p.m. and midnight. Another 20% occur between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m." Wildlife "experts" will tell you that deer whistles – those little plastic wind-tunneled devices you stick on the front of your vehicle – don't work. My experience says they're wrong. I've seen too many deer stop, turn in my direction and listen. That often provides just enough hesitation on their part to keep them from moving toward the road and their eternal destination. For the miniscule cost, deer whistles are great insurance. Erie's 'play-it-safe' tips Deliberately watch for reflections of deer eyes and deer silhouettes on road shoulders, particularly when driving late at night or early in the morning. Use high-beam headlights at night when there's no oncoming traffic. If you encounter a deer standing on the road, assume nothing. Slow down and blow your horn. Some, particularly young ones, haven't learned to yield to oncoming traffic. Last summer, I almost had to get out of my car and chase a young fawn off the roadway. If you see a deer in or near your path, brake firmly but stay in your lane. Never swerve to avoid striking a deer. If a collision is imminent, hit it while in full control of your vehicle. Want 100% safety effectiveness? Do all your driving between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Your comments are welcome and wanted. Just click on "Add a Comment".

As far as I see its better damage output vs 50% Open Wounds so Woestave be great for bosses while GBD be faster clearing time getting through normal mobs.
Which is more important right now the damage output or the Open Wounds? I want to say the Open Wounds but seeing as Elite uniques are a rare occurance I'd like a second opinion.
PS sorry if this has already been discussed I did try to search. Also msg me if you need any gear or skill info on what I'm running if it makes a difference.

Re: Grim's Burning Dead vs Woestave on Merc
Hey Melk, as a player who's beaten Hell completely untwinked and unhacked (No RWM/ATMA/other 3rd party software) in SP every class, I'd have to say that a Woestave awesome and a powerful enough merc to finish the game on Hell mode (even without upgrading!). Slow Baal/Lister/Diablo/Meph = Dead B/L/D/M.
Having said that, for a skellimancer, I would go with Grim's Burning Dead because the synergy between your merc's Might aura and the higher damage output will greatly surpass the damage / regeneration prevention of OW. Even against bosses, if you also factor in the incredible elemental damage, GBD will still most likely result in quicker boss deaths. When you also consider increased life leech and attack speed, this advantage becomes even more pronounced.
Another thing to consider is that the other major advantage of Woestave, "slows target by 50%", doesn't combo with the one from your Clay Golem.
Not putting down Woestave as it is certainly an untwinked, no hack/RWM Hell viable weapon, it's just that GBD will make your runs through hell faster / more efficient / less tedious / boring.
By the way, can I assume you use skeleton mages to deal spectral damage?

Re: Grim's Burning Dead vs Woestave on Merc
Anyway, I think GBD (grim scythe, right?) is actually an exceptional weapon, not an elite one. Still, it does more damage and is faster. Good as OW is, I think I'd go for GBD.

Re: Grim's Burning Dead vs Woestave on Merc
Yeah, I looked at my reply again and it certainly does look like my own definition of the word "viable" got mixed with the definitions some other words into the blender that is my early senility.
This is probably one of the reasons why I decided not to major in literature.

A federal lawsuit filed Monday in San Francisco claims that 409 people were unlawfully arrested last Jan. 28, many at a busy intersection outside a YMCA just a few blocks from City Hall. The mass arrests followed hours of marches that included protesters trying to take over the vacant Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center.
The class-action suit, filed by one-time mayoral adviser Dan Siegel and Berkeley attorney Yolanda Huang, claims Oakland police officers and the Alameda County Sheriff's Department violated protesters' constitutional rights by conducting unlawful arrests and false imprisonments.
The suit said the protesters weren't given a dispersal order by law enforcement and that many of them were held in jail for hours but never charged with a crime.
As a result, the protesters' right to free speech, liberty and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures were violated, the suit claims.
"You can't just arrest people because they are on a march; they have to be committing a crime," Huang told the Oakland Tribune on Tuesday. "It's a system of punishing people up front."
Alex Katz, spokesman for the Oakland City Attorney's Office, declined to comment, stating that the office had yet to see the complaint.
The suit seeks unspecified damages and an order sealing and destroying arrest records.
The suit stems from a march that started peacefully enough—a midday rally at City Hall and a march on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
But hours later, the scene near downtown Oakland dramatically deteriorated: clashes punctuated by rock and bottle throwing by protesters and volleys of tear gas from police, and a City Hall break-in that left glass cases smashed, graffiti spray-painted on walls and an American flag burned.
Hundreds of protesters were arrested on charges ranging from failure to disperse to vandalism, police said. At least three officers and one protester were injured during the melee.
At the time of the march, Occupy Oakland said it planned to use a vacant building as a social center and political hub for its activities and threatened to try to shut down the Port of Oakland for a third time, occupy the airport and take over City Hall.
After the arrests, the group criticized the police's conduct, saying that most of the arrests were made illegally because police failed to allow protesters to disperse.
But police told reporters later that night that protesters gathered unlawfully and police gave them multiple verbal warnings to disband.
In October, Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said he was seeking to fire two officers, demote a third and suspend 15 others for their treatment of protesters during unspecified Occupy demonstrations.
Jordan has since repeatedly pledged that the department will practice "constitutional policing."

Really nice textures on the last one! Nice colors too.
But I think that there´s a bit too many strong highlights.
Looks great anyway! Keep rockin´ that wacom!
Flakpost: Thanks, bro. Yea, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to the tablet. But it is fun to screw around with. I'd like to get better so I guess I've got to force myself to experiment with it. I think I lack patience tho. I need to really work my way through these slower. Thanks for the comments. I'll watch the highlights next time.
Here's another speedy... kind of trying something different and a different brush. I can't really draw well with the tablet... maybe I should try to paint using a scanned underpainting/sketch first. We'll see. Just more crap to add to the pile. Not so good... I like the other one better. Alright. I'll shut up.
dude.. awsome stuff... your traditional stuffs are really crazy.. all those renderings and ideas.. the head studies look amazing. Not too sure about digital stuff though it looks a bit rushed.. meh still good.
yeah, would have been good if you were in Sydney.. hehe we could all go for some sketching..
look forward to seeing more dude!!
You should have made the anatomy pictures a little bigger, I was trying to read the notes but couldn't. I assume placing the eyes spaced far apart is a stylistic choice.
bumskee: Thanks for the post, man! Thanks for the compliments. I'm trying to do something decent. You're right about the paints. Their rushed for sure. I don't seem to have the same amount of patience that I have with my traditional stuff when it comes to the tablet. I usually get bored. I'm gonna try and work on that tho. I need to develop tablet skills as well. Thanks again for the post! It means a ton coming from such a great artist as yourself! And yea, I wish I was in Sydney with a dozen art friends as devoted as I want to be. It's gotta be inspiring, feeding offa one another and stuff. I'm jealous.
armando: Sorry I didn't scan those larger. I was just trying to give a sense of what I was doing. I didn't think anyone really cared to see my notes. I'll try and take that into account the next time. And yea, I need to watch the eye thing. It's something I've sort of just been seeing coming out in my work... I think I'm over correcting for placing so many of the features close to the center. Thanks for the crit. I'll try and correct myself!
Ok... so I had this really dynamic dragon image in my head for the past couple o' days and I could draw it traditionally (pencil/paper) but I can't draw very well with my tablet. So after about 15 minutes of trying to get the image I wanted to paint I settled for something less dynamic which is ok. I just need to focus on a more finished image. I can't bite off more than I can chew with the tablet. I do that too often. So here's a WIP of something I'm hoping to wrap up in a couple of days. We'll see. I started on it and about 20 minutes in my girlfriend showed up so we watched a movie instead. And now it's 2:43 AM and I have to sleep... work tomorrow... so here's the "so far". Look for an update on this guy in the coming days... God willing I'm not a lazy boy. Critz and comments appreciated. BTW, I know it doesn't look like a dragon... more like a dino. Eh... I'm just learning how to use the tablet people! lol We'll see what I can do about that. Thanks for lookin'!
Good stuff going on here. Look forward to seeing more. You already got a lot of nice crits, so ill just say keep rocking dude
nice work man really, youre getting a shitload of awesome crits so i dont have much else to add, i did notice tho that this life drawing http://ryanbowlin.com/Sketchbook/sb28.gif
the face to me looks kind off i think the lips are out of perspective and the nose looks out of proportion or something, not too sure...
and i think you should define the connection between the lower and upper legs by bringing the knees forward more and making sure that the parts of the leg (the lower leg) closer to us stick out more and the upper part of the leg which is away from us recedes more to give it depth...hope that helps!
cheers for the comment
and hope to see more updates soon
u got anatomy class ye lucky bastard, no excuses bwhahahahahahaa
Man! I dont have time to do a long reply, I just wanted to stop by and
say that I really happy for ya! I mean your having an anatomy class
I will kill to have one here on my country I can already see
its paying off your caracters are looking more belivable with each
update, ill drop by later during the weekend man, in the mid time
See ya and good luck!!
Hey man, your stuff is coming along nicely. Good shading and values.
Looking foward to see more.
It's still too early to comment on the WIP, but I'll say there are two things to be careful of: Right now the monster looks like it's in front of the guy, like it splatted on the picture plane; The second thing is it resembles male genitals too much, because of the ball of a shoulder. So if those two issues are revised a pretty cool picture might come of this.
Update! Gimme More!
yo zebz, i logged on and what did i see? a new zebz page...and damnit, you're making so many improvements too. one thing i'm really noticing is that you're making way better usage of the entire page. everything on the page is really flowing together well and it looks like you're not getting quite as hung up on certain parts of the page. although, i think you could probably even limit yourself more as to how much time and detail you're putting into certain areas. your gestures are coming off a lot more fluid and dynamic than when you're filling in and giving everything so much density. when your drawings are getting fully rendered they're coming off sort of rigid and stiff and fairly round, even plump, which is all taking away from the dynamism. perhaps keeping a separate sketchbook of just quick doodles and sketches would be a good idea even. but seriously, overall, this is some of the best work i've seen out of you. that page of the eye studies and heads is really really nice, your rendering is getting way solid on those without feeling timeconsuming. they still feel very quick, and i think that if you keep working in that kind of mindset, your stuff could get even better. looking forward to seeing some more soon, good to see your stuff again in general.

NEW sketchbook 2006
My CA Sketchbook Thread from last year.
+My Website+
fellah: Thanks, man. It means a lot, you stoppin' by! Your work is very inspirational! I hope you comment again sometime!
Rodrigo: Yea, I'm still struggling but I think I'm growin' too. I try to do so much at once and I don't think enough when I draw, y'know? But I'm trying to keep stuff in mind more often... I just have to develop the discipline to do that. Thanks for the critz, tho. Always appreciated. And yea, anatomy class is pretty tough but I've got it and you don't! I'd better improve, huh? You keep the good stuff comin' over in your thread. You're little sketch group makes me so jealous of you freakin' Aussies. Er...
Max: Yea, anatomy class has been fun thus far! Lots of work! Thanks for the post! I'm trying my hardest to improve. I've got lots to do before I can catch up to you and all the other amazing people postin' here. Eh... I'm sucha slacker. I feel like I'm constantly fighting an uphill battle, y'know? All in due time... as always. Thanks for the encouragment, bro. You rock my balls off.
Diego: Thanks! Keep postin' on your thread as well! I'll have to stop by and check 'er out.
armando: Maybe I was wanting for it to look lake male genitals? lol Actually, you're right. I was thinking that when I was working on it. I appreciate the crits man. I'll take 'em into account when I get back at it. I haven't touched it since the last update. I have a tendency of doin' that. Most of my time has been on other things. I'll get at it tho. Thanks, man. BTW, do you have a post anywhere with your work? Just wanted to see some!
Flaskpost: Yer wish is my command!
Cburt: Thanks and thanks. Comments and critz from you are much appreciated and I couldn't agree with you more. I tend to overdue it away to often and just need to speed myself up... less noodling around would help loosen me up just there. I'm really workin' on the looseness... you'll see in this update.... I'm really trying to focus on developin' the gesture and my eye to hand skills. I need that fluidity. But, yea... I'm trying! I'm glad you're seein' some improvement up in here. I'm seeing a bit myself so it's encouraging and giving me that extra umph to really kick it up a notch and work more than ever. I feel so productive these days. That said, I can't wait for your posts... gimme some of that hot sheeet, bro. I wish you were somewhere close, I'd really dig on sketchin' with ya. Someday, someday. Right?
Now for what you've ALL been waiting for! More crap from me! Things have been going well... busy but well. I've been trying to pull myself away from drawing doodles exsclusively and try to do some stuff I can use for my portfolio and also stuff that will help me develop more. As I've said before, I struggle with looseness and gesture.... so I'm workin' on at, you'll see. Also been trying to do a bit of studies and life work for more training. I'll go through one by one, I guess and say a bit about each. I still have the occassional noodle but I'm trying to improve on many things at once really. I need growth hardcore! It's a slow process but we've all proved that this crap works so lets keep it up. So if anyone has advice, bring it on, please. I have quite a bit of work to do, that's for sure. You'll be able to tell what I'm really focusing on by the stuff I'm including below... just check it out and I'll stop gurglin' at the mouth. Thanks in advance for the comments and critz.
Ok... doodles...
Again.. doodles with some gesture-y crap towards the bottom. I tend to not think enough when I draw... this goes for doodles too. So when you crit them remember that I'm ususally just doodlin' and not thinking.... so tell me to think more when I draw... I'm an idiot. Uh....
Some gestures attempts from a samurai book...
Horrible first attempts and life gestures in forever... from internet photos... again, tend to not think when I'm laying down lines and it gets me in trouble... I feel like I'm rushing to get 'em in quick and they look like crap.
Working on figures in perspective and a little interaction. Trying to keep it simple but something I've been needing to work on for a long while. Also messing with composition/camera angles. Need to do much more of these sort of thumbnails. It helps. I learned a lot from this page.
Class doodles
Anatomy drawing notes and quick drawings from life... concentrating on pelvis, ribcage, and spine.
Quick charcoal life portrait of my roommate, Pravesh.
Went to the mall and did some gestures but everyone was walking... it pretty much sucked. I need to keep doing this tho. I just feel like I'm getting no where, messily throwing down random lines and then trying to sort through it afterwards. My visual memory is appauling as well. Did some with an ink brush and some in pencil. Their crap... help if you can.
This is an SP I'm working on from life... 18X24... Charcoal... hopefully after some time tonight I'll have the kinks worked out and this'll be finished.
And there you have it. See ya on the flipside... man scanning and getting this crap takes TIME! Eh... must rest... lol God bless.
Hey big update. love the faces dude. perspective.. that word freaks me out.. something I need to work on, you seem to be doing fine, placing figures according to perspective is so damn hard.. meh... love the stitched head. heh
people walking past.. very quickly.. it is annoying or when they suddenly turn around or shift weight. from my short experience, a pen usually is the best meidum, and often you don't get a second chance at drawing that line you missed so try and get them right first.. meh ignore little details, concentrate on proportion, weight/balance. Sometime you get like 10~20 sec to scribble what you see, so..something like one line drawing..? Form does this well, he's the one line man.. heh.
charcoal drawing is coming along nicely.
Yeah, I have a sketch thread, I should probably put one of those banners like everyone else. Looks like your doing what you need to do. For life sketching it's helpful to have something to test, like planes of the head, all you need is a glimpse of a person to test the relevance of the planes of the forehead, or the truthfulness of proportions. You mentioned that you throw your lines down without thinking, but knowing the meaning of your lines is one of the most important things, it clears up your thinking. Before you put a line down you should have an idea of what you want to draw, especially when the subject is moving around.
Bumskee: Thanks for the post! Yea, perspective scares the daylights outta me as well. And no... I'm not handeling it so well. lol I've got so much work to do. Eh. Thanks for the gesture pep talk as well. I need it! Hopefully I'll get my rear in gear and get s'more done soon. As for the charcoal piece... well, I pretty much have been destroying and rebuilding it... see below... lol
Armando: I know... I'm suckin' hard, bro. Thanks for the critz. I'm gonna try my best to really think things out better. I just get either zoned out or rushed/scatterbrained. Gotta get cool. Maybe I should drink a bit when I draw or something. lol
Small update... I'm really struggling with this guy for some reason. If you think the last one looked a bit better, you're probaby right. I started in rendering a bit in areas and it's more refined looking as well. But I started that much to quickly. It didn't look nearly enough like me. I think this one is better. I'll know better tomorrow once I get a fresh eye on it. I'm sending this image to my GF too so she'll be able to fill me in.
I really just didn't pay much attention to the basic stuff at the start and was drawing more from my head than the mirror. I wiped out a lot and tried again for about an hour. Looked horrible. Couldn't get it. The lines were all wrong, I couldn't get it to look correct for the life of me. Took a break for an hour or so. Was gonna go to bed but it was staring me down, telling me to just give up and start a new one. But I knew that with some work I could maybe make this mother work. lol So I took off my glasses and squinted in the mirror and instead of concerning myself with the contour/line so much I focused on the shapes of bright light and dark darks. I basically just took those shapes and shaped the face using those light and dark planes... and it worked fairly well! I did a little bit of line work in a few areas but for the most part I just blocked in some simple values. Some of the other drawings are coming through but I think I like that a bit. So for tonight, the drawing at least looks quite a bit more like me and the general stuff has been refined a bit. The next time we sit down with it I'll go over the little stuff, start refining, rendering, texture, etc. Make it more finished... there are still loads of work to do but I feel as if I've really pulled this one outta the dumpster. lol So just smile with me as I endevour on. I alwas suck at drawing anything larger... so used to getting down and dirty detailed in my sketchbook. Haven't drawing much with charcoal in a while either. Anyhow... here is the WIP as it stands now. This drawing better be pretty cool when I'm done or I'm gonna scream. Ha! At least it'll be something to submit for my BFA portfolio. That's really all I need... something good enough to put in there. lol Ok. Enough with the babble. If you guys have suggestions or critz feel free. I've gotta get to bed... it's almost 4 and I've got Anatomy Drawing at 9AM.
Damn it Zebz, looks like you're really working your ass of lately I love the anatomy class sketchbook stuff. Especially the head page. It's an amazing skull sketch and the proportions study is very informative - keep em comin'

i agree man keep it up.
lol man i can totally relate...doing gestures from life in public spaces is something ive struggled with a lot too man...just keep doing it i guess there isnt really a secret recipe for those kinds of drawings other than to keep up the hard workWent to the mall and did some gestures but everyone was walking... it pretty much sucked. I need to keep doing this tho. I just feel like I'm getting no where, messily throwing down random lines and then trying to sort through it afterwards. My visual memory is appauling as well. Did some with an ink brush and some in pencil. Their crap... help if you can.
ThirdEye: I am, dude, I am! lol It's cool that people are noticing! One of my professors singled me out the other day in a conversation. We were discussing how he worked/started finished peices and sketching and all that. I was telling him about my struggles and he basically said he thought I was doing the right thing, "During our breaks and such you're always sketching. Most drawing students only draw in class and they think that's enough but it's not, it's not healthy." He was really encouraging me. It's cool. And some of my fellow students have made some comments too. It's been an encouraging week! Heck, my GF is even starting to get a bit irritated that I spend so much time on art! lol It's a good week! lol I crashed last night tho. I pulled a few all nighters this week, getting limited sleep, drawing a whole lot (still not enough if you ask me) and last night I was supposed to be somewhere but I took a "quick" nap at 6:30 PM and before I knew it I woke up late for work at 7:15 AM. lol Ok... so maybe I need to chill out a bit. Crash and burn. It's encouraging though. I feel like I've really started to slay that laziness giant. I've never loved to draw more in my LIFE! AH! Love it. Thanks for the comments, Third Eye.
Rod: Yea... I'll probably hit the mall or something up again this weekend. I feel like I can conquer this gesture thing. I'm trying to gesture full environments and such. I'm training my eye alot, seeing how different intersecting points relates to others, etc. Rather than just focusing on one element like a chair, or a head, or a building... like tying up the entire composition and refining those portions later. I feel like I'm becoming more like an artsy artist these days. On top of my skills adapting, I'm starting to ask all this artists questions of myself and my work... man... watch out... I'm getting all crazy. Thanks for the encouragment tho. We need a good OC... I know I say that but I'm never at the PC anymore. Which can be good... Ramble. Sorry. Keep cookin' yer stuff too, bro.
Should have an update soon. I'm at work now... maybe tonight sometime. Tonight is a designated date night and since I've been neglecting the woman a bit this week I'll reluctantly leave the sketchbook at home. The things we sacrifice for pretty girls.
Good stuff here.
First thing that popped in to my eyes was your rendering skill. You can really push contrast into your pieces. I don't so often have that kind of patience. Your live SP looks good. It is rather hard learning drawing from the mirror. I have tried couple of times but tossed every time.
As critics I would say that your face anatomy could be more accurate. If I were you, I would draw heads with only lines without rendering or putting too much time on those studies.
Keep on.
i think your studies on anatomy and proportion would procceed a lot faster by not relying on your excellent rendering ability to carry the piece. get those contour lines down faster, and be stingy with them. make them count. before you make that line, ask yourself, is that really the line i want to comit to? great stuff.
So this is what you look like. I was starting to think you were the guy on your avatar (kidding) good work man. Your ear might be needing a litle work but other than that your off to a good start. Did you did some general outlines before hitting the details? A rough sketch of some sort? (I do not know the exact term) I've had loads of trouble with ears when I started and after I followed a private drawing class, I started to get better. By the way what are you studying in? I'm curious because I'm reorienting myself and I'm looking to go back to school in an artistic area.
Other than that keep your passion and stick to the basics! Everything start's with the basics.
Sketches. Crits are welcomed!
CHOW Time!
I think you do what youre destined to do, if you follow your heart and you follow your path, then youll always be safe with anything that you do, including art.
Serj Tankian -singer with System of a Down-
Hello CA faithful! Nice to see some replies, thanks alot! So encouraging to get responses in these threads. The more the merrier!
maknien: Thanks! I really love to render, it's a long process sometimes but I think it's my favorite thing to do. It's just sort of mind numbing type stuff. Watching the image sort of start to get all fleshed out on the page, I really love that. But I need to hold myself back a bit. I get wrapped up in it far too much. Thanks for the critz as well. Hopefully these SP and other head studies/anatomy class will help me a bit. Check back and see!
antquin: You're exactly right. Alot of my stuff would look better if I'd just really focus on that line first. The gesture is most important part and their inaccuracies can't be masked my nice renders. Although, I think that if I can get the hang of the accurate lines and such the renders will really help. If I can just get that aspect of it down better I think my work would improve by like a 5 steps at least. lol Long road yet. But that's sort of where my concentration is lying now. Just seeing lines and how different points relate. I'm also wanting to think more compositionally since I often just draw one object and then another. I think we'll see some maturity in my work come out this school year. Lets hope. Thanks for the critz. I'm going to be trying my best to apply them. I think that's a big piece of truth to chew on.
neoknocker: Yea, I'm not Bob Ross. Just a faithful devoted follower of his cult. lol Thanks for the comments and critz. I'm trying! You do the same! I spun through your thread briefly (I'll leave a comment sometime soon, promise!) and it looked quite nice as well. Keep it up! And yea, I usually sketch an understructure/gesture type sketchy drawing first and then just let it build itself so to speak. Like push and pull the image a bit to get what I want. I'm starting to develop more of a style/technique but it's forever changing... all in do time. I'm studying for a BFA with a concentration in Drawing right now. It's more about traditional skills really. Like fine arts aspects. It's good for me tho. Good luck with your school pursuits! It's been worth it for me.
Small update... kind of a non-productive weekend. Friday night was date night which killed that evening of drawing. Saturday I spent working on freelance graphic design logo projects like this cheesy little guy I did for a youth conference thing... It's an inked sketched vectorized into Illustrator...
So then, Saturday night I went with a friend to see Coldplay which was an amazing show. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to see a spectacular live show. It was great. I'm lookin' forward to U2 this December... mmmm... so many great shows I've seen this year. Been a good music year for me. Good stuff. So anyhow, yea then Sunday I slept a good while and did laundry and doodled a small amount while visiting my parents. Now I'm home after a stop at the GF's and tired and not drawing... Like you all really needed to know that. I felt like I needed to make an excuse. lol I guess I could have just said I've been busy, huh? lol Ok... here's some stuff to chew on.
Doodles of classmates in the dark while watching a video... tough stuff.
During breaks in drawing class I tried to gesture the surroundings quickly. I want to try and do stuff like this more. Not worry so much about it looking pristine, just capture the thing on the paper... y'know? Trains my eye I think and makes me think more about relationships of other objects, etc. Random. Look for more of this sort of stuff. Blasted oversized sketchbook... wouldn't allow me to scan all of it. Sorry. So it's partial.
All these gestures had me itchin' to draw something more fun and from my head. I started really trying to quickly sketch out a page of random crap from my head. This hasn't been completely mucked up with rendering yet but I'm sure it will over time. Here it is o far. Lines are fairly light. I used a 2H and had to darken the image a bit in PS. Again, you're missing a portion of the image as well. I think the gesture practice is paying off. These lines and anatomy are a bit better... still needs some work in areas but an improvment overall maybe? We'll see. I'll keep workin' on lines, promise! I just need to have something to noodle on when I'm tired of gesture and anatomy practice... who knows... I might tire of this soon. I talk too much.
And here's a photo of a vine charcoal drawing from class. We were supposed to use straight lines to basically find the lines in the figure. I started off kind of not wanting to do it but my half butt job actually started to turn out kind of nice. My classmates seemed to really like it. Actually looks like the girl too. Not much rendering here...
Thanks fer' lookin'. God bless. Keep creatin'.
- Ryan
Lookin at ur stuff makes me miss school a bit. I remember I was drawing and working all the time when I went.. and improved by the end of the year a crapload.. but now that its been a year and a bit.. i forgot how to draw
Your stuff is pretty sweet.. ur renderings in pen are impressive. I can't really crit anything b/c everything that stands out the most has already been said, and in time you will only get better, especially with all the school work you will be doing
Do you know if you have to make a 'Final Project' for graduation at all? or is it just like.. regular classes, and perhaps each one (or a few) will have a 'Final Assignment' type thing? Just curious really.
Cheers bro-ziff
Zebz...great stuff. I love your loose style of sketching. Just keep rockin and posting updates for us.
Looking good. Keep on riding the momentum.
cool stuff, zebs. i'd like to see a bit more variety on facial features. keep on rockin'.
Hey man, first time i've been by...i should've stopped in sooner! Before we get to the art, just wanted to say that I caught Coldplay when they were in NY the other week and it was one of the greatest shows I've ever been to...just an amazing band. I also have tickets to U2 when they're in town, so looking forward to that naturally as well. Back to the sketchbook--This is a great body of work, and I admire the way you're attacking your craft. I especially love your studies. pickleyum made a good point about your facial features though...it kinda does seem that the same faces pop up in a lot of your sketches. Anywhoo, keep at it.
2nd book eh? don't remember the other but this ones got some nice lookin stuff in it. I like the last life drawing, for rendering life stuff you might try making things farther back in space darker as opposed to only shadow cores, I like trying to do a bit of both!
awsome update dude, coldplay???? hmmmm meh I have never been to a live show, I am probably missing out on something.. I really wanted to go and see Black eyed pea but..yeah..
Love the class drawings, I wish I did that when I was at school, draw stuff, but then again I hardly went to any classes hehe.. wasn't much of a student I guess. your lines are looking good, feeeeeel the form~ what's a vine charcoal?? is that different to willow? just curious that's all. Life drawing is nicely done, the foot sort of got lost though, the hard occassional lines works well.
nice job with illustrator. cheers dude

Spas >Olde Victorian Inn and Spa--French Quarter
914 N Rampart St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7011629.962276 -90.066445
Neighborhoods: French Quarter - CBD, French Quarter
A frilly French Quarter bed-and-breakfast. – The Scene
Guests are greeted with hot tea or chilled lemonade, which only hints at the pampering to come. This unique bed-and-breakfast houses Miss Celie's Spa Orleans, first opened in the 1880s to pamper socialites. Though the French Quarter lies immediately out the front door, treatments are difficult to leave behind; they include manicures, pedicures, hair styling, detox linen wraps, past-life regression massages and anti-aging facials.
The Details
Not designed for overly masculine sensibilities, the four guest rooms are decorated with ruffles, lace, teddy bears and period furnishings. Mornings begin with aromas of fresh-baked breads, biscuits, coffee cakes, eggs, bacon and home fries. You may choose to bunk down for a few nights, or to have the innkeepers take charge of a special occasion. Wedding parties can take advantage of house linens, crystal and china, as well as have every detail arranged, down to the Victorian lace-like cake.
A spa too? – This was the best idea anyone in New Orleans has ever come up with. A B&B and day spa all in one place. The rooms have been getting raves from Frommers and Fodors for years, but wait until they see the spa. Small, inviting and very relaxing. My massage was the best deap tissue work finished by a hot towel wipe. YUMMY. And I never felt rushed like they needed to get through and on to the next person. Well worth the stay at the B&B, and even more worth a visit if your not staying.
Absolutely Delightful! – My husband and I had our wedding at the Olde Vic and all I can say, is it was pure magic thanks to Keith and Andre.
Keith and Andre welcomed us into their stunning home with open arms.
Everything from our room, Chantilly, to the wedding and reception dinner was exquisite. My husband, a finicky eater, loved every dish. Definitely try their 914 5 course meal!
Their suggestions for places to go, eateries and entertainment were top notch! Not once, did we have a less than spectacular meal!
Their breakfast was delicious! I only wish I was able to sample more of their vast menu!
I highly recommend a stay with Keith, Andre and their beautiful family!
Great for First Timers – My husband and I had never been to the BIG EASY. We were so lucky to find the Olde Victorian Inn on the net. Keith & Andre and their four-legged staff helped us with everything: dinners, tours, jazz. The breakfast was amazing. Each morning was a culinary surprise that left us full into the afternoon. The courtyard was lovely. A young couple got married there while we were staying. In New Orleans skip the big hotels and get some B&B charm. Romantic!

The Work
The main thing to know about our work is that it's really our work. We plan, design and code everything in house. We don't outsource. If we don't know how to do something, we'll either learn how or we won't do it. Our clients rely on our expertise so we're committed to being 100% responsible for our work.
We're relentlessly focused on results.
We also make our clients business goals our priority rather than the latest fad in design. Don't get us wrong; we love beautiful, modern design and exciting experiences – but success for our clients takes top priority.
Case Studies
We do our best work and get the best results when we get to settle in with a client. These clients represent the ones who work with Paramore as partners rather than merely vendors. These case studies are just examples from a few clients that should give you a pretty good idea of what we can accomplish for you.
Work by Industry
After more than a decade of being in business, we've gravitated to a few key industries with Travel & Tourism as a solid leader. Each of these projects represents a key milestone for our clients.
We've had the pleasure of working with some pretty awesome clients through the years. Some have national or even international presence. Some served only focused communities. Some needed only design and development or only media. All of them taught us something and all of them got the best we can offer.
We're experts at what we do, so we like working with partners who are experts too.
To alleviate any misconceptions, we're not all designers. We've got planners, thinkers, calculators, talkers, listeners, and overall, hard workers. While we may not do everything, we do pretty much all things needed for digital design, development and media. And, we excel at them.

Thanks for your comment, Sandra! I thought it was interesting that students in Byron Center cited academic ability as a big factor in discrimination. How do we encourage students to be accepting of those with different intellectual gifts, without eliminating all academic competition?
Very true, Sandra! I was fortunate enough to be one of the "smart kids" in school. Unfortunately, I became quite the show-off, and this didn't win me many friends. In retrospect, I should have been placed in a class with more advanced students, so I would have to work harder. I also like your idea of students mentoring others. That way, they can learn to enjoy the successes of others, not just their own.

Kelsey McLennon has lived in Wauwatosa with her two siblings and parents for her entire life. When not busy with school, she enjoys dancing, running, and spending time with friends. She is a sophomore at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School, where she is involved in track, cross country, Latin club, and Irish club.
Tosan in Ghana
This semester my sister Maddie (whom many of you may know) is studying abroad in Ghana, a country in western Africa.
Do You Know Where You Are?
I know that my last blog post is about the same exact thing as this one. I'm not going crazy. But since then, my sister has posted again on her blog, and I think the most recent post is really, really cool. So if you saw my post before and liked her blog, you'll love this. If you saw my post before and didn't like her blog, you need to read the latest post. And if you have no idea what I am talking about, follow the link below. Basically whichever way you look at it you need to read her latest post.
It's so shocking and sad to think that some people cannot identify the country in which they live on a map, simply because they have never had access to one. Or, that kids might not do their best on a life-altering standardized test because they don't have any real experience with typed-up papers and worksheets. It makes me so grateful for the education and resources that we have right here in Wauwatosa. Wait, did I just say I am grateful for tests? Maybe I am going crazy.

Changes in natural killer cell subsets in pediatric liver transplant recipients
2012; 16 (2): 176-182
NK cells are important in the immune response against tumors and virally infected cells. A balance between inhibitory and activating receptors controls the effector functions of NK cells. We examined the fate of circulating NK cells and the expression of the NK cell-activating receptors in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Blood specimens were collected from 38 pediatric liver transplant recipients before transplant, and at one wk, one, three, six, and nine months, and one yr post-transplant. PBMCs were isolated and analyzed for the levels of NK cell activation receptors NKp30, NKp46, and NKG2D in the CD56(dim) CD16(+) and CD56(bright) CD16(+/-) subsets of NK cells. We demonstrated that there is a significant decrease in the percentage of circulating NK cells post-transplant (pretransplant 7.69 ± 1.54 vs. one wk post-transplant 1.73 ± 0.44) in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Interestingly, NKp30 expression is significantly increased, while NKp46 and NKG2D levels remain stable on the NK cells that persist at one wk post-transplant. These data indicate that the numbers and subsets of circulating NK cells are altered in children after liver transplantation.
