Cho Kyŏng-nan (Jo Kyung-Ran) is the author of several novels including Time for Baking Bread (1996), We've Met Before (2001), and Tongue (2007). Her works, microscopically examining alienation in modern life, have garnered both popular and critical acclaim.

Less than three months shy of her 90th birthday, Newman still works eight hours per day, six days per week at Oxford Lumber, managing the finances for the company she and her husband, Charles Newman, opened more than 50 years ago.
"She's pretty amazing," said her son, Bill Newman, president of Oxford Lumber since his father's death in 1999. "She never misses a day of work."
Bill Newman said his mother has worked at Oxford Lumber throughout the lifespan of the company, which today also operates three hardware stores in Jacksonville, Talladega and Roanoke. Despite her continued contributions, however, she would rather not receive any recognition, Bill Newman said.
"She's very humble," he said. "She doesn't want to ever be spotlighted or recognized."
It would be hard to guess Mildred Newman's stature in the company just by looking at her. Dressed in a simple white, long-sleeved shirt and grey pants Wednesday, the small, unassuming woman sat behind a desk stacked with papers and tucked into a corner on the second floor of Oxford Lumber.
Asked why and how she continues to work a difficult job, however, Mildred Newman's humility again bleeds through.
"I guess because I've done it so long it's just a habit," she said in a quiet voice. "I guess math comes pretty easy to me but I've never thought of myself as being very good."
However, she is always hard at work, managing accounts payable and receivable along with dealing with vendors, Bill Newman said.
"She lives by herself ... she goes to church. She drives and does her own grocery shopping ... she's very independent," he said. "And she handles her own retirement plan and insurance ... she's really, really sharp."
Born in Louisville, Ky., Mildred Newman started out as a registered nurse but moved with her husband to Oxford in the late 1950s and they soon opened a lumber company with their life savings.
"He had worked in a lumber yard and wanted to give it a shot on his own," Mildred Newman said of her husband.
She taught herself how to manage the company's books soon after the business opened.
She said she enjoys her work and wouldn't know what to do with herself or her time if she were to quit altogether.
"I'm better off working," she said with a smile.
Newman admitted, however, that she might finally start taking it easy one day, but she just doesn't know when that will happen.
"I feel very fortunate to be able to work this long," she said. "It's by the grace of God mostly."

The departure of Vikram S. Pandit shows clearly who is in charge of Citigroup: the board of directors. For good or for bad, boards are increasingly taking charge of corporate America. The reign of the imperial C.E.O. is over.
(Read More:Pandit Tells CNBC: I Was Not Forced Out)
No reason was given in the press release announcing that Mr. Pandit had stepped down. And while the reports of what happened behind the scenes will slowly emerge as each side spins its story, there is no doubt that this was an unexpected and abrupt resignation.
He left without the words that you usually see in such press releases about "spending more time with your family" or even language about "retirement" — and just as his compensation was beginning to rise again into the tens of millions of dollars.
(Read More: Pandit's Departing Memo to Employees)
The new show of power by the board is a remarkable turn of events. In the years leading up to the financial crisis, boards were criticized for letting chief executives rule unchecked. Remember, Citigroup was the place where Sandy Weill reigned supreme for years. It led to Charles O. Prince who lacked the ability to run the financial uber-conglomerate but also lacked a board that could appropriately supervise and monitor his actions let alone make a decision about the direction of the company. (Mr. Prince was the one, you may recall, who said in the years leading up to the financial crisis that "as long as the music is playing, you've got to get up and dance.")
Board supremacy is a general trend. In the wake of the financial crisis, the big banks have been forced to reconstitute their boards with Citigroup and Bank of America at the top of the list. But others like Goldman Sachs have also been pushed to bring in more competent people. The new directors are much more aware of what happened in the years leading up to the financial crisis, and to take action.
Not only have boards been pushed to bring in new, more active people, political and market forces are pushing boards into a greater role in the banks themselves. The Dodd-Frank Act charges boards with an enhanced duty to monitor systemic risk at financial institutions and requires the creation of risk management committees made up of independent directors for these banks.
(Read More: Wall Street's Boardroom Bloodletting)
Corporate governance advocates, meanwhile, are pushing boards to take a more active role not only in the hiring and firing of the chief executive but in the operation of the company.
The consequence is that not only do boards have more legal responsibility to run the company, they are being exhorted to do so. Boards are listening. The change is real and is amply underscored in the shake-up at Citigroup. Mr. Pandit's resignation is remarkable because it goes beyond what had been the traditional board role, which has been to stand back and hire or fire the C.E.O. Here, the board appeared to want to change the course of Citigroup's operations against the wishes of Mr. Pandit.
(Read More: Meet Citigroup's New Boss)
The lesson of Pandit's departure is thus that boards are now expanding their focus and looking to veto or change a company's direction and operations. And that it is happening at a place like Citigroup, where for years being a director was more like being a minor royal - not much responsibility, but nice perks — is doubly remarkable.
The real question though is whether boards can run companies better than chief executives can. Boards comprise part time members who don't have the same interests at stake. They are also committees and thus may lack the wherewithal to properly execute. In fact, some blame the financial crisis on the failure of boards to correctly monitor financial institutions. But that is a developing story.
For now, we're now in a new world where the boards rule and are unafraid to exert their power. C.E.O.s, beware.

MLB switching from land line bullpen phones to cell phones
Jan 8, 2013, 8:37 PM EDT
MLB and T-Mobile just announced a multi-year sponsorship agreement which makes the former the Official Wireless Sponsor of the latter. That's well and good because business is business, but it has a baseball implication too: wireless bullpen phones. The setup is going to look like this:
It'll be a joy to watch Charlie Manuel try to use one of these. You think they'd try to ease him into it with a flip phone with big numbers or something.
Anyway, the T-Mobile phones will operate on a closed point-to-point network, which the league and T-Mobile illustrate thusly:
As long as it works.
As for that: the test run is going to come in the World Baseball Classic, where Joe Torre will be using it as he manages the US team. Gonna be hard for him to program the thing to NOT automatically call Scott Proctor, but I'm sure he'll figure it out by then.

Beauty >Lennonheads Salon & Spa
529 High Street, Worthington, OH | Directions 4308540.084194 -83.018847
Mon 1:00 PM-9:00 PM,Tue-Fri 9:00 AM-9:00 PM,Sat 8:00 AM-6:00 PM,Sun Closed
I like hanging around this salon. I go here every other week just to make myself beautiful, they do a fine job of taking care of my hair in here.
Lennonheads A Pleasant Surprise... – I had a good experience here. The price was even better than expected considering the amount of hair I have (thick hair halfway down my back) and they were very nice and professional. I explained that because of the length of my hair I had a budget and they didn't treat me any differently or bat an eyelash. I got decent service for a reasonable price! I got an all over permanent color job, and it didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped but still much better than expected; it was quite close. I left still happy. I got it colored red, and was looking for a brighter, more orange-ish color as I didn't want dark auburn, and what I got is a little dark for what I was going for, but it'll lighten with time, I'm sure, as reds always do and it looks great considering I didn't want my hair lightened at this time. I'll def be going back, my friends and fam LOVE how it looks, which is a big deal, as I have YET to find a salon I like well enough to visit more than a couple times, and this one looks very promising...
Polaris Location is Closing! – I just went to the Polaris location this past week and the employees let me know that the Polaris location will be closing in a couple of weeks!
Noooo! I love the Polaris location because of how convenient it is. I've been to the Worthington location and it was ok, but they kind of made me feel like I wasn't cool enough to be there.
Best Place in Town – If you need a great cut and you're a fan of Aveda check out Lennon Heads. If you can get in with Vince, do it! He's smart, charming and skilled.
What more could you ask for?
Always a good haircut – I'm one of the pickiest guys you'll ever find when it comes to haircuts. While the salon has a great atmosphere and a professional staff, the most impressive thing I've found is the consistency of their hair stylists. I wasn't aware that Lennonheads was an Aveda salon but I was definitely glad to find that out. I know Aveda has a top notch training program. I've been to several girls at the salon, all of them were consistently good. If you're visiting the salon for the first time I recommend trying Shanna first, I go to her whenever I can since she has never let me down and she keeps her schedule flexible so she can usually fit me in at the last second (which is usually when I call to schedule.).
Funkiest Haircuts in town and great customer service!! – I moved here from Washington DC and was skeptical on trying a new hairstylist, had tried several in Columbus, OH and was very disappointed. A girlfriend recommended this place and I love this place...so nice and clean and everyone is so professional and pleasant. Love the smell of Aveda products and Vince is one of the best hairstylists there, gives the best haircuts.

Ok, so I know we are not suppose to look at the scale but I do weigh once a week on a Monday. I went to the gym and before the workout i weighed in. Much to my dismay, I was 3-4 lbs heavier than the previous week!! I had my free day on Sunday and drank a coke for the first time in weeks and handful of chips..could it be water retention because of the salt? Just not sure what is going on? Any ideas?
Altheia, I get post free day water retention frequently. It is usually back to normal 2 days after. What I have found helps a little bit with this is continuing to drink lots of water on free day.
Hi A,
I started wk 8 today. My advice is to keep reading the boards as much as you can. Everyone's body is different and they all do their quirky things. Just DO the program and, if you are pretty much true to it, you'll see the results.
I was losing 1-1/2 to 2 lbs every week for a while...then in wk 6 ... dead stop ... like you, I went into panic mode....started doing more reading on this site, posted, reviewed my journal....turns out, I needed more fiber....not enough roughage so now I eat Romaine like crazy, and secondly, not realizing it I wasn't keeping up with my water enough...unless you keep track it can really slip. So now, I fill a gallon jug every day and keep track that way.
Find what works...alot of it is YOU'RE MIND SET; if you're true to yourself and your goal, you'll get there. Good luck...hope this helps.

You Get What You Give -'... if you feel your dream is dying...hold on tight...you've got the music in you...you only get what you give.' (New Radicals)
Thanks for the reply James. I usually drink my coffee that I miss so much during the week and drink some water but probably not enough. will try that next week
Thanks myfitgoal! lol looked for your name but couldn't find. Thank you for your input. Great stuff and will continue on this journey.
Althiea, I'm Tammy from Atlanta...if you click on my pic you can see my disgusting photos!
Have a great day tomorrow...just keep going; you're doing it all right.
Not that I'm a pro at 2.5 weeks, but here's a thought... I weigh, measure, take pics every Sunday morning before I've done or eaten anything. That way, I don't get the Monday morning blues after a free day. Rather, I get to see the payoff of a full week's work, enjoy my rest day, and let the next week take care of itself.
That's a GREAT idea! I think I'll do that too! That way, the results are "unbiased"! BTW - congrats on the pregnancy! If this is your first, you have NO IDEA what love is yet! LOL
Yep, it's my first!! VERY excited!!

Local ice skating rinks offered a fun solution to cabin fever and residents traveled to Brewster, Elmsford, White Plains, Suffern and Pelham to lace 'em up and take a spin around the rink.
At Ebersole Ice Rink in White Plains on Sunday, parents held the hands of their children who took to the ice for the first time, holding the wall as they crept along, while more experienced skaters sped past, skating backwards or practicing spins.
Other parents chose to stay warm with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate while sitting near a fireplace, venturing out for a few seconds to wave or take picture of their children as they skated past.

With another exciting NJAC football weekend on the books, we're going to change things up a bit and take a look at some of the most exciting and impressive individual performances from Week 7.
Simms, Joyce Lead Par Hills
Par Hills headed into its Week 7 matchup against division rival Randolph on Friday night needing a win to stay in contention in the ever-competitive American Division.
At the end of the night, Par Hills earned its fourth win of the season stopping Randolph, 33-23, according to the Daily Record.
Just as has been the case in each of the Vikings' wins this season, quarterback Tyler Simms and running back C.J. Joyce raised their level of play, securing Par Hills' spot at third place in the division and increasing its chances for a high seed in the North 2, Group III playoffs.
Simms, who has been as accurate a passer as anyone in the NJAC this season, continued his terrific play, going 10 of 15 for 204 yards and slinging four touchdowns in the win.
When Simms wasn't throwing, it was Joyce who stepped up to carry the load, rushing for 110 yards on 20 carries, and scoring two touchdowns (one receiving).
Justin Goodwin Dominates
Dodger fans have become used to seeing Madison's ground-and-pound attack dispose of opposing defenses week in and week out. In fact, that mentality is exactly what has helped Madison earn an astounding 19-straight wins, including this weekend's 38-0 domination of Kittatinny.
Leading the way for the dominant Dodgers rushing attack was junior Justin Goodwin. The Madison all-star returned to top form this weekend, carrying the ball for 207 yards on just eight carries, and scoring all six Madison touchdowns.
In the first half, Goodwin found the end zone on rushes of 13, 8 and 28 yards, before hauling in a 33-yard TD pass from quarterback Carson Lassiter, according to the Daily Record.
But Goodwin wasn't finished just yet, as the all-purpose back added a touchdown run of 53 yards, and ran a fake punt 71 yards for a score, helping the Dodgers to 6-0 this season.
Robbins Scores Four TDs
The Kinnelon football team sits at 5-2 this season after a 44-27 win over Boonton in Week 7, according to NJ.com.
A big reason for the Colts' success this season has been quarterback Sean Robbins, and this weekend may have been his best performance yet.
Not only did the junior complete 14 of 19 passes for 194 yards, but he also added 94 yards on 26 carries and scored four touchdowns, rushing to lead Kinnelon to the big win and its second-highest scoring total of the season.
Failla Does It All
The Chatham football team found itself in a somewhat of a slump heading into the midway point of the season. But Saturday's 34-13 win over Newton made for the Cougars' second straight win. And stealing all of the headlines after the big win was senior quarterback Sam Failla.
It was Senior Day in Chatham, and the Cougar senior represented in a grand fashion, finding the end zone in three different ways, including passing, rushing, and even receiving.
Failla's final stats under center were 8 of 10 for 73 yards, with one touchdown pass going to receiver Colin Brown.
On the ground, Failla carried the ball eight times for 56 yards, scoring one touchdown.
But the coup de grace came in the second quarter, when Failla split out wide and caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Thomas Guida. That touchdown propelled Chatham to a 28-0 lead, putting them in solid position in the Freedom Division.
Max Boerstoel Burns Butler
Mountain Lakes and Butler matched up this weekend for a battle of undefeated division rivals. At the end of the day, it was the Herd that looked like the class of the extremely competitive Independence Division, as they locked up
Leading the way for Mountain Lakes was receiver Max Boerstoel, who hauled in five catches for 121 yards and one score.
But that one score completely changed the momentum in this one, as Boerstoel and the Mountain Lakes offense lined up with less than 40 second remaining in the first half.
While the Butler defense may have been expecting Mountain Lakes to run out the clock and head into halftime, the Herd had a different idea all together, sending the speedy receiver on a "go route" down the sideline, according to the Daily Record.
Quarterback Pete Breslauer hurled a pass down field and Boerstal, who outran two Butler defenders, caught it and ran into the end zone for a 77-yard touchdown to give Mountain Lakes a seven-point lead at the half.
The rest, as they say, was history as Lakes earned its seventh win of the season and secured its spot atop the Independence Division.
Delbarton Dominates Mendham
The Green Wave have been rolling since Week 1, and this weekend was a lot of the same as the Delbarton football team tortured a winless Mendham team, 35-0, according to the Daily Record.
It's become commonplace to see quarterback John Shaffer and running back Jamie White rack up impressive stats on offense, while the Dennis Bencsko-led Delbarton defense keeps opposing offenses stats minimal at best.
This weekend was no different, as Shaffer threw for three touchdowns, White rushed for over 100 yards and the Delbarton defense held Mendham to just 10 first downs all game.
Shaffer's final stat line included 145 yards on 5-of-5 passing, and the three scores–two of which went to tight end Cole Riccardi–while White racked up an impressive 147 yards on just six carries and two touchdowns (one receiving).
The defense did exactly what head coach Brian Bowers expected, stifling a struggling Mendham offense as Bencsko recorded two sacks and 16 tackles overall.
Delbarton sits at 7-0 in control of the American Division.

Marine oil supplementation during pregnancy
Marine oils contain essential omega-3 fatty acids, which may prevent pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia, preterm birth and low birth weight. There is not enough evidence to support the routine supplementation with fish oil during pregnancy, however women may benefit from fish oil supplementation to increase the length of gestation.

Undergraduate Studies
Undergraduate courses offered by the Keough-Naughton Institute provide Notre Dame students with a unique opportunity to explore Ireland's extraordinary tradition in literature (in both the English and Irish languages) and distinctive historical development, including its influence on the United States.
The Keough-Naughton Institute has recently begun the first minor in Irish Language & Literature in North America through the Department of Irish Language & Literature.
The core of the program is a minor in Irish Studies which helps students develop their understanding of Irish society, culture and politics through both course work and first hand experience of Ireland; the requirements for the minor are three semesters of Irish Language, four classes in other fields such as English, History or Anthropology and a capstone essay (completed in the senior year) linking the student's major and minor fields.
Irish Studies courses are also open to all undergraduates but a certain number of spaces in each course are reserved for our minors.

The Chester High School ski team traveled to Boreal Feb. 14 for its regularly scheduled race, only for it to be cancelled at the last minute by consensus of team coaches on strong recommendation from Boreal staff indicating conditions were determined to be dangerous and likely to result in injury to racers.
The race was rescheduled as a double up, slalom and giant slalom, on Feb. 17. The team again traveled to Boreal and was greeted with much more favorable conditions and wins.

First, your doctor or medical provider will ask you questions about your child's habits, school readiness and physical activity. Your doctor will ask about potty training, dental health, and your child's diet. This is a good time to ask your doctor about your child's development or behavior concerns.
Next, your doctor will do a physical exam, which includes your child's height, weight, blood pressure, vision test, hearing test and a urine test. Your health care provider will make sure your child is developing normally.
Finally, your doctor will recommend vaccines for your child depending on your child's age. Vaccines for children entering kindergarten usually include chicken pox, MMR (mumps, measles and rubella), Prevnar 13 (pneumonia), and Kinrix (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and polio). These vaccines prevent the deaths of many children each year. Chickenpox, for example, is spread by coughing and sneezing, and spreads rapidly through close contact. While mild illness produces headache, fever and itchy rash, the severe illness can cause severe brain and lung illness and death. Prevention of serious disease is an important goal, especially for young children.
Talk to your health care provider about any other concerns you have. For example, does your child have problems with temper tantrums, potty training or sleep problems? These are common problems during early childhood. Your health care provider can provide guidance for a range of developmental challenges as your child is growing up.
Have a wonderful end-of-summer time with your children. And remember to make that appointment for your child's Well Child Checkup. We celebrate your child's first day of kindergarten with you!

The funds are being sought to bolster the ACHP's critical role in the Section 106 process.
While the President's budget is only the beginning of the appropriations process, the Administration's continued support for historic preservation is a positive first step.

Comments about Harry & David Pick 2 Chocolate Truffle Boxes:
My lady is a dark chocolate freak so I got her the 2 pack of dark truffles. She has told me these are the best she has ever had, bar none. I wouldn't know, as she won't share them with me for fear of running out. She managed to stretch them from Christmas to March - an unbelievable demonstration of will power. I'm getting her more for her birthday - I might get lucky - and get to try one. Don't try them unless you wish to be spoiled and possibly addicted to only H&D truffles. I will have to get an order for myself (and hide them from her).

"We want APEX to be the 'Intel Inside,'" said Terri Breining, chairwoman of the Convention Industry Council's APEX (Accepted Practices Exchange) Initiative at the Meeting Professionals International World Education Conference in July. Breining, CMP, CMM, president, Concepts Worldwide Inc., Carlsbad, Calif., and her colleagues from CIC announced an upgraded version of the APEX Meeting and Event Toolbox, version 2.0. It updates the more than 200 event management and business templates that interface with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, which were released in version 1.0 of the Toolbox last summer. Approximately 6,000 toolboxes have been distributed.
The APEX initiative includes accepted practices in references, terms, documents, and templates that have been written by volunteers from every segment of the meeting industry over the past five years. The release of 2.0 "is the next step in making APEX ubiquitous in the world of meeting and event planning," said Breining. She said she expects the APEX tools eventually to become so accepted that even occasional planners will use them.
The new version of the toolbox offers a bigger variety of request-for-proposal templates; an improved room list template; enhanced navigation; default event and user profiles; and six additional help file lessons.
The final work of the APEX panel, which will include accepted practices in contracts, is winding down, added Breining. "The next phase is about educating the world and getting APEX to 'live inside.'" To that end, APEX has created an Education Advisory Board that will promote and educate the industry through CIC member organizations as well as colleges and universities. Richard Aaron, CMP, CSEP, president, BiZBash Media, will be chairman of the nine- to 10-member council.
The council is developing a comprehensive data map and associated XML language for use by industry developers that will parallel the forms in the tool set. Within the next year, all the data that a facility must now re-key when a planner sends it will be mapped. Although it will take some time for hotels to adopt it, eventually the two parties will achieve an "electronic handshake," says E.J. Siwek, president, FlashPoint Technologies and chairman of the APEX Technology Advisory Council. All major hotel chains and technology companies in the meeting space sit on the council and have "recognized the huge efficiencies in electronic business processing," said Siwek.
Those who have version 1.0 of the APEX toolbox and register it by July 1 can upgrade to version 2.0 free. Users of version 2.0 must register to receive future free upgrades. Others can purchase it for $99 as a download through the conventionindustry.org site. CDs will be available in a few months.

Great stuff! ~573 expression is superb!
That brown-monotone goblin guy that's standing atop his fallen enemy is quite good, in my humble opinion.
I enjoy the Beast as well - great updates! Some of them really are quite insane, if I think about them too much.
@Carnifex: you got me there.One of those idiotic mistakes you don't even see until its "finished" thanks for stoppin' by :)
@Sirio_Brozzi: damn right man, damn right.Realized only when carni posted what stupid mistake i made.thx for stoppin' by ;)
@MonkeYoakum: the neck area was the last thing i "studied" before drawing this one.Bridgeman explains it in a very efficient way.The DoF effect is just a cheap blur/sharpen filter applied in some areas.Thanks for the visit :)
@Zebz: hehe thanks man, nice to hear that from ya ;)
@m0uS3r: thanks you very much.Will pay a visit soon ;)
@Camara: hehe yeah, in the end i started enjoying that moleskine :D thanks for stoppin by man, the impressive improvement is in YOUR thread, not in mine :D
@Dreamworker: grazie Paolo :)
@AnthonyFoti: thanks a lot :)
@Mr-Joe: no work yet, going to start uni (painting-illustration-comics) soon.I don't paint cause i suck at painting.I'm working on it (kinda) but it takes time and it frustrates the shit outta me.thanks for stoppin' by :)
@Scott James: thanks man, could say the same thing 'bout you ;)
@funfetus: thank you very much man :) wish i could do better at painting too...stay tuned, i'll get there some day ;)
@RaistlinTheDark: thanks man :)
@kaktuzlime: you must be kidding me dude, i'm the jealous one here :) thanks for stopping by, i'll make sure i repay the favor soon ;)
@spudstudios: thanks a lot man! :D
@Discoskull: cool thanks man ;) wonder what that last sentence means tho, the "insane" word seems to appear pretty often in these pages, wonder why.
ok peeps.Very lame update.Another one of those "bad" periods.I'm pretty busy with getting uni sorted out driving licence, and stuff.These are the "best sketches from these days.I've been doing some doodles from hogarts book on heads, but nothin' really worth posting.
first page of my new SB, and a lame moster (reminds me of one of those lame power rangers villains).Trying out a prismacolor pencil, pretty cool actually.
Sweet work bro, I'm busy right now to make a long post,
but hot dam!! you lines are getting
better by the minute!!
keep those prisma colors flowing ;)
hmm I'm starting to think you take hallucinogens to come up with the creatures the way you do :D very nice concepts, but on the second one, I think the eyes are kind of distracting.
hehe,that's definately the eyes. the feet are pretty scary imo,so you should rework the body in that manner-more jagged and hardened shell if you feel like it. take away the eyes completely,or make them small and evil ( ;) ) and put a big piece of shell for a head. (marko's juggernaught - style,y'know?)
Hi Ryan :)
I like the first sketch, it can be a good start for an illustation. The second one is little confused and flatten, anyway nice to see you again with pencil
ciao :)
Gnoll, i was taking a break from a sketch i've been fiddling with and this is one of the largest sketch threads i've wandered upon recently. I remember coming across it months ago when in was probably half this size. It's awesome that you've so dilligently updated it and i notice definite overall improvement, your stuff looking alot more decisive in execution, so having been humbled by your prolificacy i'm going right back to sketching. Thanks for the breath of fresh air!
Great updates!!!The lobster warrior guy is fantastic!And that prismacolor pencil has beautyful lines!
I'd say lobster man is power rangers, not that first monstruosity. :3 Like how the two arms look melted together, good stuff! Ciao.
@maxetormer: thanks fer the bump mate, talk to ya soon ;)
@OldNoobie:i won't comment the first part of your post.Lets say i draw most of my sketches without usign any kind of drugs :D you're right about the eyes.
@Carnifex: thanks for the comment, and agreed on the design issues.
@Dreamworker: thanks man.Unfortunately these prismacolors don't last much at all.Since you gotta sharp them quite often i can uuse uone pencil for just like 3 drawings before they become too short.I'll buy more soon :D
@KLEVR: thank you very much for the nice words man, lookin' forward to seeing what sketch you've been workin on ;)
@Camara: thanks man.Looks like you're the only one that likes version one of the lobster dude.But i guess me n you are big fans on the whole "humanoid animal" theme hehe :D
@Sirio_Brozzi: hehe yeah, i was talking about the lobster guy.I used to love power rangers when i was a kid.Probably thats one of the things i've got my whole monster-lovin' mania.
ok peeps.I drew the last lobster dude without any planning at all, and i was just interested in putting animal features in a humanoid body.Wanted to recall textures and all the odd bits, but i ran out of ideas, so those legs were lame, as well as the eyes and pretty much all the rest.I tried again, this time with a lil' more planning and with your suggestions in mind.Pity i ran out of scape on the bloody page lol, so i had to come up with some kind of "legs+tail" that didn't take up too much space.Oh well, this is the last lobster i'm gunna do for now, anyway.Gotta get back to normal sketch rhytm soon, but all the burocratic bullshit to get in uni n other stuff are bothering me atm.
I enjoy quite-a-bit. That lobster guy rocks, of course; but nothing can mess with the shell-loincloth.
And no worries; I meant "insane" in the best, most artistic sort of way! It was a compliment, for sure.
the first lobster man looks great..only the eyes were weird..i prefer the eyes of the second lobsta mobsta hahaha..keep the crazyness comin'
this is going really well as usual :) keep posting! very interessting sb
I like the two last ones a lot! So many heavy lines that they almost steal effect from each other but great designs and details.
Nice lobsta yo. :03 Keep drawing us some lobsta mobstaz. Is that a bad scan(?) Ciaos.
Fantastic sketchbook!!! Me liking thee style alot! ;)
Very inspiring too!
Haha lobsta mobsta is awesome....hmm you can imagine pack of em in some rpg video game chasing you with their maces shouting "Lobstaaa Mobstaa.." with watery murky voice...:^^:
Keep up the hard work! 5 stars from me...!
@Discoskull: ok, i'm glad i'm insane then :D thanks for the visit :)
@Dan Valkar: will do, thanks :)
@armetage: thank you, nice work in your SB ;)
@smuli: aye, i gotta try n control the lines, but i get confused sometimes.More practice is what it takes, i guess.
@Sirio_Brozzi: actually, i think i'm done with lobstaz for now hehe yep, that was a bad scan :)
@Blaz: haha glad to see people actually think that kind of stuff while looking at my stuff lol you'd better keep those 5 stars for someone that really deserves them hehe...not enought hard work in here :)
ok peeps, shitty update again.Not much going on actually, haven't been drawing much.At least, not much deserving posting hehe :)
Please guys, stay off from videogames, they are EVIL.
Especially GOOD games, like Final Fantasy XII and Bioshock :D
hope school will get me motivated again in november, but for now, lets just consider this a "slow" period hehe
At this rate, you will win the "Lobster Master" title :D. Really did enjoy your last updates and the previous lobster designs rocks. That last one reminds me to Yoda but with a twist, probably Yoda's cousin??? Who knows...
Anyways, keep it up man, great concepts and designs here.
wow, totally forgot about how hard working you are! This is insane! Cant believe you can manage to draw this much :P
Saw some of your concepts for Lifeblood, darnit, your lines are getting better and better! I could only dream to achieve the same confident flow and quality on my linework. You make me wanna go grab my ol' pencil and start drawing old school again :P
Cheers to you Ryan, your gonna make it BIG someday!
great job man!
You are improvin' your skills a lot! I like the alien stalking the human, it has a good movement and natural poses. :) Still posting, dude!
nice nice! beast is my favourite!
awesome sb man. love your style.
really like the pic and stance. y'know you should use those great games to inspire yourself to greater designs :) ah,who am i kidding,i wouldn't be able to do that myself,can't even keep my own book going as it is :P
@Maestro Andres: lol yes, yoda's weed addicted younger brother hehe thanks for the visit :)
@WolfBane: "hard working"? and you're saying it?! LOL cheers to you man, and hope you're right :)
@anjin: grazie Anjin! ;)
@VanDog: thanks man, glad you liked that ;)
@MeTaL-Mike: hehe, straight to the point, huh? thanks for the asspat :)
@Carnifex: ye ye ye sure, thats the official excuse for playing games...truth is, the contaminate your design library more than inspiring you, and they suck away time i could spend practicing things i really need to learn hehehe :D thanks for the visit ;)
ok, just another bump.Had to put the table cause i ran out of space on the sheet, again.Gotta start planning these things better :)
i'm the juggernaut bitch! :p
I like a lot your sketchbook, always improving your skills.
Lovin' the sketches as usual. I feel your pain. Video games have been eating my life this year. So many great games and so little time!! ARGH! If you're on Xbox Live let me know and maybe we can hook it up online!
Sweet action and interaction!!
great stuff! gotta push those anatomy studies though, and maybe use some reference. but youre most certainly on the right track.
Ciao Gnollissimo! :0 I really liked the sketch of the alien nailing that guy, its fun. That gob1.jpg painting of the goblin face is tight too, I'd say get some darker shadows in there if you can, and some more subtle highlights, looks good, keep doing those. :3

Reportedly, Lady Gaga, has revealed to members of the stage crew that she wants to get married to her rumored boyfriend, Luc Carl. She has also expressed her wish to have a fairytale wedding. To make her wish come true she has chosen the British Castle. She plans to buy the British Castle for her wedding. A source revealed that Lady Gaga said, "We finish the European leg in London just before Christmas and the timing is perfect for the wedding." Among her other wishes are a horse drawn carriage, Elvis Presley's horse shoe ring as her wedding ring and to perform a raunchy act for her hubby. "No expense will be spared in her quest to make this dream come true," a source said last month. It's her childhood dream and she's particularly interested in castles in the north of England or Scotland," said Lady Gaga.Read more »

Lady Gaga Urges Repeal of Gay Military Ban
Singer Lady Gaga released a video on Friday urging members of the Senate and her "fellow Americans" to help repeal the military rule banning openly gay people from serving in the armed forces. In her most overt political stance to date, Gaga, 24, described herself as "a voice for my generation" and urged her millions of fans to help overturn the policy which allows gay men and women to serve in the military as long as they keep their sexual orientation private. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on Tuesday on whether to begin debate on the annual Defense Department authorization bill, which includes language aimed at ending the Clinton-era "don't' ask, don't tell" policy. The vote is expected to be close. The U.S. House of Representatives has already voted to repeal it. In the black and white video, which is over 7 minutes long, Gaga sits in front of an American flag wearing a demure dark tie, white blouse and dark blazer. "I am here to be a voice for my generation," Gaga, 24, said in the YouTube video. "Not the voice of the generation of the senators who are voting, but for the youth of this country -- the generation affected by this law and whose children will be affected."Read more »

We offer a 5-year integrated Pediatrics/Genetics residency program (in conjunction with the Department of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) leading to board eligibility in both disciplines. Please see our Pediatric Residency Web site to get more information and learn how to apply.
The University of Pennsylvania and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia offer a unique opportunity for training in human genetics. The program integrates experiences at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), and other clinical and research opportunities available at the University of Pennsylvania.
This training program, which is under the co-sponsorship of the Departments of Pediatrics, Genetics, Medicine, and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Pennsylvania and the Division of Human Genetics and Molecular Biology at CHOP, is designed for physicians who have completed training in a clinical specialty such as pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics-gynecology, or other relevant specialties.
For the MD trainee, the first year is devoted to training in clinical genetics. Although the schedule is individualized according to a person's prior experiences, interests and training, the usual rotations include:
During the second and third year of the training, residents focus on research activities and continue to participate in genetic clinics. At the end of the training, the resident should be competent to diagnose, clinically manage, and counsel patients with chromosomal anomalies, inborn errors of metabolism, adult genetic conditions, and other genetic syndromes. S/he should have a thorough understanding of the use and interpretation of genetic and metabolic laboratory tests that are essential to pre- and post-natal diagnosis and management.
The graduate will be eligible to take the American Board of Medical Genetics examinations in the relevant disciplines and should qualify for faculty appointment in an appropriate department in a major medical school. Foreign medical graduates must have at least two years residency training in an accredited program in the United States. USMLE exams 1, 2 and 3 must be completed and scores forwarded with your application for all applicants.
Patients are referred from the Northeast region of the United States to the Clinical Genetics Service and Biochemical Genetics Service at CHOP and the Adult Medical Genetics Programs at HUP for diagnosis, counseling and care. Patients are evaluated in the outpatient clinic setting and as in-hospital consultations. Additional patients are counseled in other specialty clinics. All clinics are staffed with trained geneticists with various subspecialty interests. Weekly Genetics Grand Rounds (CME accredited) are mandatory for the clinical trainees and cover topics in clinical, prenatal, biochemical and adult genetics. These rounds have served as a forum for an interchange of ideas and have been the source of much collaborative research.
During the second and third year of training, 75 percent of the resident's time is devoted to research. The resident may choose from many research opportunities in the following areas: molecular genetics, cytogenetics, somatic cell genetics, cancer genetics population genetics, biochemical genetics, gene regulation, prenatal diagnosis, teratology, embryology, differentiation and developmental genetics, and immunogenetics. S/he is expected to complete a major research project as the primary investigator. The opportunity to participate in an additional (fourth year) highly specialized research project may also be available.
To apply for the residency, applicants should send the following information to be considered:
Send all documentation to:
Ian Krantz, MD
c/o Regina Harvey
Room 1002 Abramson Res. Bldg.
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
3615 Civic Center Blvd.
Philadelphia, PA 19104
For residency applicants who have a preferred laboratory mentor, please indicate in your letter or statement.

Griekspoor AgriNxt Conference Gives a Lot of Things to Think About Kansas Viewpoint Wichita conference offers variety of perspectives on future of agriculture, multitude of thoughts for producers Published on: December 10, 2010 I spent all day at the AgriNxt Conference in Wichita hearing multiple speakers address issues that impact the future of agriculture in Kansas and America. There are a bunch of things to think about, but among the top ones are a presentation from Keith Miller, president of the U.S. Meat Federation talking about challenges to gaining access for export markets, Joseph Glauber, Chief Economist with USDA, talking about the economic outlook for ag and a whole bunch of people talking about renewable energy. We face a challenging world. And the presentations that were there today reminded me that we, as Kansas ag producers, have an increasing obligation to tell our consumers why our product is safe, nutritious, humanely produced and environmentally sustainable. A couple of the presenters reminded us that in much of the world, these aren't even questions. Is there anything to eat? is the big question in many places and organic, sustainable, GMO-free, or whatever is a long, long way from the table. What it served to remind me is that American ag procducers are dealing with a whole different audience domestically than many of their competitors. What we are really looking at is access to the high-end markets, the people who can afford to ask questions and make demands. How much do we want to give up in quantity that feeds the world to provide what this sliver of the market considers higher quality? That will be an interesting question to address as we move forward.

By Ray Routhier email@example.com
Staff Writer
PORTLAND — Within five minutes of meeting Linda Shary, Andrew Kiezulas had discussed his efforts to remain sober, his fascination with World War II, and the pros and cons of time travel.
Linda Shary chats with Andrew Kiezulas of Portland. He agreed that "there's too little personal stuff, where you care about what someone has to say." .

Linda Shary with her sandwich board is offering free conversations in Monument Square.
John Patriquin/StaffPhotographer
All because he saw Shary sitting at a table in Monument Square behind a sandwich board offering "Free Conversations."
Shary, a Portland actor and director, had about 16 conversations with strangers during the city's First Friday Art Walk in early October. The chats were the focus of an interactive performance piece she created and staged. She handed folks a conversation "menu" with a range of topics, and then guided them through short conversations and small talk.
At a time when more and more conversations seem to take place in cyberspace than in person, the question of whether technology has diluted the quantity and quality of personal interaction is being raised more and more. Books, news articles, classroom discussions, and art have all explored the idea, as tweets, text messages and Facebook posts increasingly make face-to-face contact seem outdated and unnecessary.
Many academics, writers and artists agree that people today seem to be hiding from personal contact. They may be enabled by new technology, but technology is probably not the sole cause. Politics, violence, and other big-picture societal problems likely play a role.
Less face-to-face contact, or even less small talk, might lead to bigger problems for society, many contend.
"Talking about the weather, or daily tasks, helps bind us with other people and makes us feel part of a community," said Kevin Sweeney, chairman of the English department at Southern Maine Community College. "Sometimes the small details are the most interesting things, and can lead to talking about the big things in a meaningful way."
Shary, who is in her 50s and works as a private school administrator, got back into acting and performing recently after years of working in business and raising her teenage daughter.
Since August she has been staging intimate, site-specific, interactive outdoor pieces with help from a $1,500 Maine Arts Commission grant. The first two involved a series of 10-minute plays written 48 hours before being performed, while the third piece was the one focused on conversations, in Monument Square.
Shary got the idea for her free conversations after reading about Minnesota-based artist Taylor Baldry. Baldry has done an exercise he calls "The Conversationalist" in about 30 Minneapolis parks and public spaces over the past two years.
"I guess I've been surprised with how eager people are to connect face-to-face. I saw people sharing the kinds of stories I would never imagine people sharing with a total stranger," said Baldry, 30.
During her Monument Square "performance" on Oct. 4, Shary handed passers-by conversation "menus," which were divided into "entrees," or subjects to talk about for up to five minutes, plus "lighter fare" topics that could be discussed for up to one minute.
The entrees list included: time travel – future or past, advantages and disadvantages; superhero powers – best ones and why; favorite foods – what's good for you and what's not; and a few others. The lighter fare discussions were "either/or" debates about tea and coffee, dogs and cats, or spring and fall.
Shary's menu also included conversation guidelines – turn off cellphones, listen, pause occasionally, laugh as needed, and thank each other.
Kiezulas, 32, a student at the University of Southern Maine, was attending the First Friday Art Walk with his girlfriend and some friends. He sat down at Shary's table and asked her what she was doing.
He agreed that "there's too little personal stuff, where you care about what someone has to say."

FDA & CDC WARNING: Limit Fingerstick Devices to Just One PatientPosted: Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Fingerstick devices along with insulin pens should never be used with more than one person.
In the war against the transmission of blood borne pathogens such as the hepatitis B virus, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended last week that fingerstick devices should never be used with more than one person. They issued similar guidance for point-of-care (POC) blood-testing devices such as glucometers and instruments for insulin administration.
The two federal agencies said the shared used of blood lancing and POC testing devices has led to a steady rise in reports of blood borne-pathogen infections -- mostly involving hepatitis B virus -- during the past 10 to 15 years. Such communal bloodletting occurs in settings that range from public health fairs to physician offices, but the problem is most serious in long-term care and assisted-living facilities.
In addition to stipulating a rule of one fingerstick device for one person, the FDA and CDC recommended that when clinicians obtain blood samples to monitor blood glucose levels, they should rely on fingerstick devices that automatically disable themselves after a single use -- those in which the blade retracts, for example. These single-use, auto-disabling instruments are also known as safety lancets.
The new recommendation applies to fingerstick devices that are approved for obtaining blood from multiple individuals. The FDA stated that it would soon take action to have these items labeled for use for only a single person.
Insulin Pens Also Should Not Be Shared: The FDA and CDC did not take as tough of a precautionary stand on POC testing devices such as blood glucose and anticoagulation meters. They recommended that these devices should be used with only one person "whenever possible." However, if it is not possible to dedicate a POC testing device to a single patient, clinicians should properly clean and disinfect the device between every use, as described in the product label.
The same concerns about preventing the spread of blood borne pathogens extend to insulin administration. Insulin pens, which contain several doses of insulin that patients can administer to themselves, should never be shared, according to the FDA and CDC. When clinicians assign them to patients, the devices should be labeled for single-patient use.
Whenever possible, multidose vials of insulin should be limited to a single person. If not, the vials should be stored and prepared in a dedicated area away from the patient care environment and potentially contaminated equipment. Insulin should always be administered with a new needle and syringe, which likewise should never be used to administer insulin to more than one person, and then "disposed of immediately after use in an approved sharps container."
Physicians should wear gloves for any task that potentially exposes them to blood or body fluids, and they should change gloves between patient contacts, even when they work with patient-dedicated POC devices or single-use, self-disabling fingerstick devices.
More information about the warning is available on the websites of the FDA and the CDC.

Over 55 people from the Indian, Nepalese and Pakistani communities gathered on Sunday to kick off Saheli Boston's Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being Initiative. The event was organized and planned by Saheli to introduce the organization's new initiative on raising awareness about mental health and emotional well-being in the South Asian community. This initiative is chaired by Saheli Board member Dr. Kumkum Pareek Malik and Co-chaired by Neelam Wali. Saheli Boston is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting South Asian women, children and families in the New England area."We want the entire community to be part of this," said Dr. Malik. "Mental health and emotional well-being is a community need, and it is a key area in everyone's life.
This roundtable was specifically designed to host the finals of the Rackspace Cloud – 1M/1M Startup Challenge.
In previous years we suggested purchasing Virginia Land Preservation Credits. A dollar of tax credit could be purchased for 75 or 80 cents, saving a significant amount of money on state taxes. In recent years, however, some of these credits were challenged. Some of the people who purchased them had to redo their tax returns. Now, 88 cents is one of the best prices available. You still have to pay short-term capital gains on what you save. As a result, we are not recommending them this year.
In December 2009, Tristina Elmes owed more money than she could pay in taxes and found herself in tax court. The IRS wanted to collect as much as they could as quickly as possible. During an IRS summons, Elmes chose to plead the Fifth Amendment because she didn't trust the IRS in its fishing expedition.
