Given the status, credibility, and reach of GEN, it is so important that you covered this story. Its real importance is that this is a science issue, not a women's issue. At the highest levels of science there are so many unsung heros (women in science), and they must come out of the shadow cast by male giants, consciously and unconsciously. Special mention should be given to the very active and committed men who sit on the RFS Board, including several Nobel Laureates. This eminent and influential leadership is crucial if we want and expect REAL change.
With more climate-induced droughts and insect infestations on the horizon do you think technologies like CRISPR will change a lot of people's minds about GMOs, including genetically engineered foods?

Oakland Athletics (39-26) at LA Angels of Anaheim (36-28), 10:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Oakland - Tommy Milone (3-3, 3.68) LA Angels - Jered Weaver (7-4, 3.31)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim can't conclude their series with the Oakland Athletics having overtaken the club for first place in the division, but they can certainly give their rivals something to think about going forward.
The Angels look to extend their longest winning streak of the season and finish off a three-game sweep of the Athletics on Wednesday night.
Los Angeles has won five in a row and six of seven to pull within 2 1/2 games of first-place Oakland heading into this series finale. The Angels came into the set having lost five of six to the A's already this year, but can now sweep the club for the first time since Sept. 3-5, 2012 in Oakland.
Collin Cowgill's two-out home run in the bottom of the 14th inning sent the Angels to a walk-off 2-1 victory last night. He lined a 1-2 offering from Jeff Francis over the wall in left for his first career game-ending homer.
Cowgill had three hits and Josh Hamilton added two hits and an RBI for the Angels.
"We were fortunate tonight," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "We had opportunities and we didn't get it done. We played a little sloppy in some areas."
Jed Lowrie tied the game for Oakland with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and outfielder Yoenis Cespedes saved a run with an amazing throw from left field in the bottom of the frame.
The Angels' Mike Trout doubled down the left field line with Howie Kendrick on first and Cespedes bobbled the hop in the outfield. Kendrick raced around third and attempted to score, but Cespedes gathered the ball in foul territory and threw a looping strike to catcher Derek Norris, who applied the tag as Kendrick slid home.
"You don't expect something like that," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "We know (Cespedes) has a great throwing arm. There aren't too many guys in the game that have that kind of arm strength."
Jered Weaver will take the mound for the Angels tonight looking to work past some recent issues.
Weaver struggled in a loss to Oakland on June 1, giving up five earned runs and 11 hits over six innings. The righty fell to 11-8 in this matchup with a 2.40 earned run average in 27 meetings.
Weaver then faced the Chicago White Sox on Friday and though he posted an 8-4 win, he did allowed five hits and four walks over six frames. He limited the damage to just two runs, however, and helped himself by striking out nine.
"I was battling to make pitches when I needed to," said Weaver. "My curveball was pretty sharp. It was a good pitch against that lineup. The story tonight was our offense. It took the pressure off of me."
The 31-year-old has won three of four and six of his last eight decisions, sitting 7-4 on the year with a 3.31 ERA.
Scheduled Oakland starter Tommy Milone has not lost since May 3, winning each of his last three decisions over a six-start span. He has not allowed more than three runs in any of those outings, but still posted his second straight no-decision on Friday in Baltimore.
The left-hander gave up three runs on eight hits over six innings against the Orioles, walking none but yielding a pair of homers in his club's 4-3 victory.
Milone improved to 3-3 with a 3.68 ERA on the season. The 27- year-old is 5-2 lifetime against the Angels in nine starts, including a pair of no-decisions this season.

The Pros & Cons of Living With Google
"Some days it feels like Google is taking over the world." In an article for The Verge Sean Hollister investigates how Google now represents one tenth of Mountain View, the city which hosts the company's Californian headquarters. Having one of the world's largest tech companies on their doorstep is a cause of concern for residents, some of whom are now referring to their home as Googleville. Having just bought the lease for a former military airport some city council members are seeing the expansionist move as a step too far – read the article in full here.
20 Teams to Compete in 2015 U.S. Solar Decathlon
The U.S. Department of Energy has selected 20 collegiate teams to participate in the 2015 Solar Decathlon at Irvine, California's Orange County Great Park. The eight returning teams will compete against 12 new teams, with partners from four international schools, to build "solar-powered, highly energy-efficient houses that combine affordability, innovation, and design excellence" within the allotted two-year period. View the full list of competitors, after the break.
Diller Scofidio + Renfro Designs Public Plaza, Restaurant for LA's Broad Museum
Alongside news that The Broad's completion date has been pushed back to 2015, rather than this fall, Diller Scofidio + Renfro has unveiled a new collaboration with landscape architect Walter Hood that will transform the mid-block parcel adjacent to the Grand Avenue museum into a pedestrian-friendly landscaped plaza and restaurant. As reported by the Los Angeles Times, the new square will establish an important link to the neighboring school and apartment, as well as the future 2020 Regional Connector subway stop. The 24,000 square foot parcel will be enhanced by100-year-old olive trees transplanted from Northern California. Watch a video about the design after the break, and find more information here.
Apple's Revised San Francisco Store Approved
Third time's the charm, at least in the case of Apple's Foster + Partners-designed flagship store planned for San Francisco's historic Union Square. After being sent back to the drawings boards on multiple occasions, the signature glass box's third proposal (which was claimed to be "more iconic" than the company's famous Five Avenue glass cube in New York City) has been awarded approval from the city.
Gehry's Grand Avenue Project Wins LA County Supervisors' Approval
After being rejected for appearing too "boxy" and not appealing enough to pedestrians, Related Companies' revamped Grand Avenue vision has finally won unanimous approval from county supervisors. The $750-million plan, which was abruptly halted back in September when Gensler's toned-down version was deemed greatly "disappointing" by the city, will now move forward with a more playful (and pricey) design by the project's original architect, Frank Gehry.
TimeLAX: A Time-Lapse Video Series of Los Angeles
TimeLAX travels across the sprawled city of Los Angeles, connecting some of the city's most iconic landmarks – Disney Concert Hall, the Griffith Observatory and John Ferraro Building – with over 200 locations that reveal the true essence of the city's fabric.

Lucid Stead: A "Disappearing" Cabin of Mirrors
In Joshua Tree, California, artist Phillip K Smith III has completed Lucid Stead: an optical illusion/installation that modifies an abandoned 70-year-old homestead with mirrors in order to make it appear transparent. The cabin was also fitted with LED lighting to "extract the distilled experience of how light changes over time — how a mountain can be blue, red, brown, white, purple, and black all in one day." As Smith stated, the project is about light, shadow, and tapping into the quiet of the desert. Check out more images and a video of the cabin after the break!
Frank Gehry to Submit Grand Avenue Vision to L.A. City Officials
After reviewing proposals from a selection of other firms, Related Companies has chosen to move forward with Frank Gehry's Grand Avenue vision for Los Angeles. The design, which abandons the fluid forms of Gehry's original scheme, has been described by critic Christopher Hawthorne as "significantly more exuberant and suggestive of L.A. culture" than Gensler and Robert A.M. Stern Architects' recently rejected proposal.

AEC Hackathon
A first for the AEC Industry, the AEC Hackathon is a non-profit event that brings together teams of Silicon Valley technologists and industry stakeholders to help shape the future of our built environment. Formatted as a traditional "hack", the AEC Hackathon provides a playful, exploratory environment where disruption, innovation, and creative ideas are brought to life.
The focus of the event is not on technology for technology's sake, but to hack into traditional processes and workflows of the AEC industry to generate innovation. This can be eventually be applied into global solutions.
The event will take place in San Francisco and Silicon Valley from November 8 to November 10. For more information on registration and complete details, click here.
Architects Tackle LA's Water Scarcity
Water scarcity is a profound challenge for designers of the built environment. Beyond looking for water sources and creating sustainable ecosystems, how can we begin to create cities and buildings that will help us to celebrate and mitigate hydro-logical concerns? Hadley and Peter Arnold, co-directors of the Arid Land Institute (ALI) at Woodbury University, have decided to tackle this problem around Los Angeles. With the support of the World Water Forum and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, they recently developed a high-resolution geospatial model to strategically identify and quantify the potential for improving storm water capture within urban areas.
VIDEO: Norman Foster on Apple's Cupertino Campus
It has been a long road for Foster + Partners's team since first taking on the design for Apple's new campus in 2009. Four years later, despite the criticism and budget concerns, plans for Apple's corporate headquarters have been approved by Cupertino's planning commission. A recent video from the Cupertino City Council reveals some insight into the design decisions, including statements by Sir Norman Foster. As Foster states in the video, CEO Steve Jobs called him "out of the blue" in 2009 and said, "It's Steve: Hi Norman, I need some help."
Solar Decathlon 2013: SCI-Arc & Caltech Create California-style, Zero Net Energy Bungalow
DALE, short for Dynamic Augmented Living Environment, is this year's U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon entry for the SCI-Arc/Caltech team. Made of two movable, prefabricated modules that open to allow the outdoors in, DALE celebrates the active California lifestyle through its dynamic architecture.
DALE learns from two classic California precedents: the super-sized suburban tract home and the compact, sufficient bungalow; amending one and expanding on the other to become a new Southern California typology. At 600 square feet, it is a micro house with an unprecedented flexible interior that results in the program of a house three times the size.
Unanimous Approval for Apple's Cupertino Campus
UPDATE: Although having already cleared a preliminary vote, the Apple HQ was given unanimous approval from the Cupertino council yesterday. One "largely perfunctory" vote remains for November 15th. Detailed images, after the break.
Richard Nieva (CNET) reports that plans for Apple's new corporate headquarters have been approved by Cupertino's planning commission (the final, deciding vote will be in
May November 2014). The "spaceship", designed by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Kier & Wright, will cover 2.8 million square feet, host up to 14,000 employees, include "a 600-seat restaurant with four-story glass sliding doors", be surrounded by over 6000 trees, and – to top it off – come with a price tag close to $5 billion.
Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie
Journey through a three-dimensional landscape of striking architecture in this career-spanning exhibition of Moshe Safdie's work. Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie surveys the renowned architect's career from his formative period in the 1960s and early 1970s to his recent projects around the world, exploring his aesthetic language of transcendent light, powerful geometry, and iconic forms.
Using sketches, models, photographs, and films of twenty-five projects, the exhibition portrays Safdie's architecture not only as visual art but as a medium for advancing social, political, and cultural goals. Along with the exhibition, there will be a talk with Moshe Safdie at the Skirball Cultural Center on Sunday, October 20, 3:00pm. Click here for more information.
Philip Johnson's Crystal Cathedral Born Again
Johnson Fain and Rios Clementi Hale Studios have been selected to transform Philip Johnson's 1981 Crystal Cathedral, originally a Protestant mega-church, to make it more in keeping with its new, Catholic identity.
The Cathedral, which had filed for bankruptcy in October 2010, was bought in early 2012 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. Earlier this month, the architects were chosen for the renovation: Johnson Fain will focus on the interior, while Rios Clementi Hale Studios will oversee the masterplan of its 34-acre campus.

Ban calls on Israel, Palestinians to help truce efforts
Published on Nov 19, 2012 6:02 AM
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - United Nations (UN) leader Ban Ki Moon on Sunday called on Israel and Hamas to work with Egypt to reach a ceasefire in their mounting conflict.
Mr Ban said in a statement he was heading for the region to support ceasefire efforts but his office did not say whether he had left or what his itinerary would be.
The UN secretary general said he was "deeply saddened" by reports that up to 10 members of one Palestinian family had died in one Israeli air strike on Gaza and "alarmed" by the firing of rockets from Gaza into Israel.
"This must stop. I strongly urge the parties to cooperate with all efforts led by Egypt to reach an immediate ceasefire. Any further escalation will inevitably increase the suffering of the affected civilian populations and must be avoided," Mr Ban said.

Desormeaux, a two-time Preakness winner, was removed as the rider of 30-1 long shot Tiger Walk by owner Kevin Plank's Sagamore Farm and trainer Ignacio Correas, and replaced by Ramon Dominguez.
Tiger Walk finished eighth under Dominguez in the 11-horse field.
The 42-year-old Desormeaux failed the test at Belmont Park, and was taken off all three of his scheduled mounts. He has not been suspended, but the New York State Racing and Wagering Board is conducting an investigation.
According to a rule in New York that went into effect April 27, every jockey named to ride is required to undergo a test for alcohol consumption.
''This was a team decision and sometimes things happen for a reason,'' Sagamore Farm general manager Tom Mullikin wrote on the farm's Twitter account. ''We're trying to run a professional operation & can't have any distractions this weekend. We spoke w/ Kent and wished him well.''
Dominguez is a two-time Eclipse Award winner as the nation's leading jockey but is looking for his first Preakness win. He's now 0 for 10 but has finished second two times, with First Dude in 2010 and Scrappy T in 2005.
According to the Racing Form, Desormeaux failed a Breathalyzer test at Woodbine in July 2010 and was removed from his mount, Hold Me Back, in the Dominion Day Handicap. Hold Me Back won that race with Tyler Pizarro aboard.
Desormeaux is a three-time Eclipse Award winner with more than 5,400 wins, including Kentucky Derby and Preakness victories aboard Real Quiet in 1998 and Big Brown in 2008.

Good news! The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has endorsed and will campaign for Democratic Congresswoman Shelley Berkley in her tight race against incumbent Senator Dean Heller (R):
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Hoping to line up a few more Senate allies before those looming negotiations over a "grand bargain" on deficit reduction, which could include cuts to Social Security, one progressive group has decided to back Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley in the Nevada Senate race. - Huffington Post, 10/31/12This is great news for a number of reasons. Berkley will have extra grassroots cash and action to help her get out the vote, especially in areas like Clark County which has had a huge Democratic voter registration this year. With Sheldon Adelson pouring in tons of his own money to help Heller secure his victory and because of his personal vendetta against Berkley, his former employee, over their opposing views towards unions:
Their path from confidants to mortal foes began in the mid-1990s when, as Adelson's corporate lawyer, she vocally opposed his efforts to open the Venetian hotel-casino as a non-union shop. She also says he tried to force her to run for Congress as a Republican. He wrote in the local newspaper that she betrayed his attorney-client privileges and said he'd have to engage in corruption to get his project approved. - Politico, 10/21/12It's also a great sign that PCCC has come to Berkley's aide because Berkley has vowed to oppose any cuts to Social Security and Medicare:
We will have a Grand Bargain to deal with after the election and we need as many Senators as we can to oppose cuts to Social Security and Medicare. With Berkley in the Senate, we can rest assure that those cuts won't happen. If Heller remains in the Senate, he will vote for draconian cuts to the safety net. In case you forget, Heller did vote for the Paul Ryan Budget which turns Medicare into a voucher program:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Berkley, D-Nev., is running against U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., who has twice voted for Ryan's GOP budget plan, which would transform Medicare for future retirees under the age of 55 into a private insurance reimbursement system. - Las Vegas Journal-Review, 8/14/12
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
The latest Survey USA poll shows Heller ahead by 6 but unless your names are John Ralston or Mark Mellman, I wouldn't put too much stock in that poll or a lot of the polling that shows Heller with a big lead:
Private polling isn't always superior to public and media polling, as the Washington Post's Jon Cohen writes in a smart piece slated for Sunday's Outlook section. But there are reasons why the polls conducted for campaigns may once again be superior in a state like Nevada, where the demographic makeup of the electorate is evolving quickly.With Berkley, we can achieve two goals. 1. Maintain and increase our numbers in the Senate. 2. We will have another vote on our side to prevent any cuts to Social Security and Medicare as part of the Grand Bargain. Ralston Reports shows Berkley has the edge in early voting, all she needs is everyone else to vote for her on election day. A vote for Berkley is vote to preserve and strengthen the safety net. Let's help her win on Election night:
Hispanics make up an increasing percentage of the Nevada electorate. In 2004, they made up 10 percent of the electorate, according to exit polls, and that rose to 15 percent in 2008. In 2010, Hispanics ticked up a percentage point as a share of the Nevada electorate, to 16 percent, despite a nationwide decline of a percentage point, back to 2006 levels. In 2006, Hispanics made up 12 percent of Nevada electorate.
Furthermore, as a new report on Friday underscores, Nevadans are increasingly more difficult to reach in phone polls. Nearly 35 percent of Nevada adults in 2011 lived in households that only have a cell phone, whereas most public polls in this year's presidential and Senate races call exclusively or mostly landlines. And the rapid rate of landline abandonment -- fewer than 28 percent of Nevadans were cell-only in 2010 -- suggests that polls that ignore or undersample cell phones this year could suffer from increasing bias.
And, as Ralston writes, the Democratic registration advantage in populous Clark County is expected to be even larger this year than in 2008. That makes overcoming Obama's 12-point margin of victory in 2008 -- or Reid's 6-point win in 2010 -- a daunting proposition for Republicans. - National Journal, 10/13/12

Long leaving Iowa State, intends to transfer to Penn State | TheMat.com - USA Wrestling
Andrew Long will leave Ames and head to State College. Photo by Tony Rotundo/Tech-Fall.com
AMES, Iowa – Former Iowa State wrestler Andrew Long intends to transfer to Penn State to continue his collegiate wrestling career it was announced Wednesday. Long was the 125-pound runner-up for the Cyclones at the NCAA Championships in March. He finished the season with a 27-7 record.
"We gave Andrew a series of steps he needed to accomplish to rejoin our team," Iowa State head coach Kevin Jackson said. "During that process, Andrew decided that he could best address those issues in a place where he would be starting over. We will honor his decision and support his efforts to address his personal issues."
Long was dismissed from the Iowa State wrestling team in June after violations of team rules. He is currently enrolled as a student at Iowa State.
"I want to thank coach Jackson for his support while I have been here," Long said. "We were working on a process through which I would be able to join the team for the second semester. As I worked through this process I came to the conclusion that I needed a chance to start over somewhere else. "
why was he kicked off the team?
Hiptossing a police officer... for the second time.
I've got to say it's admirable the way Jackson (and the ISU athletic department) has handled all of the wrestlers who have wanted to transfer elsewhere.
Touted wrestler Andrew Long could be headed to Penn State - Breaking News | Centre Daily Times -
Former All-American transfers to Penn State - Iowa State Daily: Sports - Former All-American transfers to Penn State: Sports

Omg! Penn state nittany cyclones! 2 recruiting classes!
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
Or the Cyclions. Not an unfair thought, really. Especially if Machiarolli (sp) had stayed there.
I really wonder how much money is available for Long to make it a feasible option.

Groves High School - Long known as "the pride of the Westside", Groves High School has a rich community tradition that dates back to its founding in 1958. Established to serve the young people and families of West Chatham County, the school is named for Robert W. Groves, a prominent business and civic leader in the county. Besides his powerful role in business and his many commercial and community activities, Groves took particular concern for the youth of the area and their educational needs.
Groves High School is home of the Fighting Scottish Rebels football and basketball teams. Campus points of interest include the Woodville-Tompkins Annex, where the automotive and construction programs are offered, and the Cumming Field, named to honor Second Lieutenant Britt C. Cumming a World War II veteran who was killed in action.
Mercer Middle School serves grades 6th through 8th and is a part of the Savannah Chatham County School System (SCCPSS).[20] Originally called Mercer Junior High School, Mercer Middle School first opened on September 4, 1962, and was the first climate-controlled school in Georgia.[21] Mercer was named for George Anderson Mercer, an attorney who served as the president of the Board of Education from 1883 until his death in 1907.[22]
Garden City Elementary School was built to serve the consolidated student population of the former Benjamin Sprague and Martin G. Haynes elementary schools.[23]

Marks is a city in Quitman County, Mississippi. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 1,551. It is the county seat of Quitman County.[1] Marks was named for Leopold Marks, a Jewish immigrant trader of the late 19th century whose market became one of the earliest centers of business in the area.[citation needed]
Marks is located at 34°15′18″N 90°16′22″W / 34.25500°N 90.27278°W (34.254918, -90.272784).[2]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), all land.
Marks is notable for being the starting point of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Poor People's Campaign in 1968.[3]
The town of Marks was named after Leopold Marks (1851-1910) who left Germany to avoid conscription by the German army. He landed in New York in 1868. He knew no English and arrived with only $0.27 in his pockets.
Nonetheless, Marks was Quitman County's first representative to the state legislature and served in that capacity for eight years. In 1875 he married; his wife, Pauline, was born in 1852 but her year of death is unknown.
Leopold Marks realized the potential of the Coldwater River region and the dense forests and the fertile banks of Cassidy's Bayou when he bought a small trading boat and peddled goods up and down the river area. He opened his store and began to buy land at $0.40 per acre. He also peddled jewelry across the county until he reached Friars Point.
Prejudice at first kept him from obtaining the land grant that he sought. He was shot at several times. (Source: page 77-78 "Jews of Early Mississippi" published by University Press of Mississippi) He skirted the issue by forming the Marks Townsite Company and did manage to get the grant.
He encouraged the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad to come into the area by giving the railroad company, without cost, the right-of-way through his plantation plus 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land. Leopold Marks' son Henry donated land to the town to be used as a cemetery.
The official "founding" of the town is considered to be May 12, 1907; on May 12, 2007, the town celebrated its centennial.
As of the census[4] of 2000, there were 1,551 people, 579 households, and 387 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,509.9 people per square mile (581.4/km²). There were 643 housing units at an average density of 625.9 per square mile (241.0/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 34.62% White, 64.67% African American, 0.06% Native American, 0.19% Asian, and 0.45% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.39% of the population.
There were 579 households out of which 33.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 32.0% were married couples living together, 29.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 33.0% were non-families. 29.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 13.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.55 and the average family size was 3.16.
In the city the population was spread out with 28.7% under the age of 18, 8.4% from 18 to 24, 26.8% from 25 to 44, 16.7% from 45 to 64, and 19.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 35 years. For every 100 females there were 81.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 73.1 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $20,521, and the median income for a family was $27,153. Males had a median income of $25,100 versus $16,985 for females. The per capita income for the city was $11,104. About 26.1% of families and 30.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 39.9% of those under age 18 and 27.7% of those age 65 or over.
The City of Marks is served by the Quitman County School District.
Delta Academy, a private school, is in Marks.[5]

Funny you should bring that up.
Background: I've just spent that last several days trying to find an operating system that would play x264-encoded films (720p & 1080p). I have been using FC8, xine 0.99.5, and an NVIDIA 8500GT using the NVIDIA 180.27 drivers, out to a 1360x768 Samsung LCD TV, and for the most part, it has done well. I've been noticing some slight stutters in the video, so I wanted to see if anything else out there did better.
I tried Vista 32- and 64-bit, and Unbuntu 8.10 32- and 64-bit. Vista played the codec pretty much flawlessly using XBMC and the NVIDIA 181.20 drivers. Ubuntu...well, that's a sad story. I was at first much impressed with it, but no matter what I tried, I could not get a player (mplayer, xine, XBMC, MythTV) to play the x264 content without noticable video tearing. I tried running them normally, running them with real-time priority (chrt -r 99), even tried the VDPAU version of mplayer. For me, they were unplayable.
I then went back to my FC8 system, and built the mplayer-vdpau executable there. I played the same two movies (Iron Man 720p, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 1080p) using both my software-only xine, and the mplayer-vdpau. I really did expect the VDPAU player to give me better video, but it too caused video tearing of the same movies that xine 0.99.5 plays without tearing!
I'm coming to the conclusion that VDPAU is only useful for machines with underpowered resources (CPUs, memory). If you have power (my machine is a Core 2 Duo overclocked to 3GHz w/ 2GB DDR2 memory + the NVIDIA 8500GT video card), then empirical evidence suggests that software rendering is actually going to give you a better video experience.
Just thought I'd throw my recent experiences and my $0.02 in.

I mean, ur good at drawing cartoony things, but the more realistic ones are more than awesome too!
November 17th, 2010 #5
You have a light, whimsical style. I hope to see more!
1 question though, in your 2nd last picture, I'm not quite sure what the character is supposed to be. She has a very young face but her body is of a grown woman, and is she resting on a cliff which also looks like a giant hand cradling her?
November 17th, 2010 #6
Thank you Jetle and kayness.
About the girl-woman ... I'm addicted to surrealism and symbolism and sometimes mix them.
In most of my drawings (not the cartoony one) there is a hidden message or thought. You know the woman is still little fragile girl
November 17th, 2010 #7
thank you for the comment on my sketchbook! You're right about the colours, I will try to use more different colours and not only shades.
I really like the compositions of your pictures, there's a lot of harmony there. I'd only try to go a little darker with the shadows, so that you would gain a wider range in values. Looking forward to see more from you!

No problem - this is the aim of the forum to comment each other and to help
About the shadows I'm still to shy to use strong shadows everybody says that And must work on it really.
I have some really weird old drawings Maybe it will be fun to see them :
So that' s the old ones and here is a portrait with reference from yesterday:
November 25th, 2010 #9
Thank you for the comment on my sketchbook Your surreal work is really awesome, quite imaginative For the portrait: if you're aiming for realism, you might want to check the size of the eyes and the distance between them. Other than that, I think it is a very good piece Keep up the good work

and some quick doodles I will try to animate one of them later.

Great sketchbook! I like the colors in the third painting in post 1.
Your latest doodles are adorabe. I'd loved to see them animated.

Hi, thanks for sweeping by my sketchbook. Your fantasy creatures are quite unique and it seems that you have a good idea of which aspects of your art needs work. Try to spot errors with your construction lines and correct them before they become an issue later on. For example, if the creature is grounded then find his center of gravity to give it some weight. Even if one feet is in the air, the other foot will be planted firmly on the ground. A leaping character on the other hand, you can twist or bend the body a bit more to get away from the notion of needing to draw things vertically. Of course, with discretion because it all depends on your intentions.
Your creatures are quite unique to your style of art, keep it up. Cheers.
Insert very insightful quotes here ...
- get back to work!

Nice sketchbook! Your faces seem to be pretty good proportionally speaking. For the black and white digital painting, her eyes seep to be too large. Watch out for the sizes of the hands in relation to the rest of the body, and the sizes of the fingers in relation to the palm of the hand. If you do anatomy and proportion studies of hands and faces, it will help. Also you could do some self portraits from a mirror and studies of your own hands. I hope that helps!
Here's my sketchbook!

This updated and revised version of Dr. Mertz's stunning collection of everything related to the civilization of ancient Egypt is brought to life through Lorna Raver's informative and entertaining narration. Presented as half textbook, half historical fiction, Raver finds a solid balance between the two genres. Her voice brims with mystery and the unknown as she, along with the listener, travels along the path that Mertz has meticulously paved from the earliest glimpses of the remarkable civilization to the very latest discoveries. Raver is solid and unwavering throughout, sounding as though she's enjoying the information she so clearly presents. She brings fun and excitement to a field that many consider to be overly analyzed and studied, offering a learning experience through an abundance of speculative fiction sure to capture the minds of even the youngest listeners. Simultaneous release with the William Morrow hardcover. (Dec.)Copyright 2007Reed Business Information

Yet another astounding title out the doors of the Black Isle factory.
Torment boasts a thoroughly enjoyable story line, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't be guessing how it all ends up with any degree of accuracy. This game has very few weaknesses, and predictability is certainly not one of them!
Torment's graphics and sound are paradise. Gorgeous, hand-drawn backgrounds look sumptuous, even if they're overcome with dark, moody, colors.

1916-01-28 Jack Dillon nd-l pts 10 Billy Miske, Grand Opera House, Superior, Wisconsin, USA - USA
1916-01-28 Jack Dillon nd-l pts 10 Billy Miske, Grand Opera House, Superior, Wisconsin, USA - USA. Referee: Harry Stout. Billed for the 175lbs championship, the Superior Telegram reported that both men weighed in at 170lbs and that the contest was fiercely fought. Although Dillon, relying on body blows, was the more aggressive of the pair, Miske proved a tough nut to crack and he caught the champion time and again with straight punches from both hands. In summing up, the general feeling was that Miske had won by two rounds to Dillon's one, with the remainder even.
When Dillon fought Vic Hansen at the Phoenix AC, Memphis, Tennessee on 14 February, despite it being a mere eight-round no-decision affair the Memphis Daily Appeal reported it to be an advertised championship fight with the ringside weigh-in set at 170lbs. Whether or not either man was inside 175lbs barely mattered after the contest went the distance and Dillon was awarded the press verdict.
