Is molecular cytogenetic diagnostic a solid tool to classify the several glioma subtypes?
Molekularzytogenetische Diagnostik – eine Methode zur Klassifizierung unterschiedlicher Gliom-Subtypen?
Suche in Medline nach
|11. April 2007
Objective: In the last few years many studies were published suggesting that the several glioma subtypes are characterized by specific chromosomal alterations. These are cytogenetic aberrations such as losses of the chromosomal regions 1p36 and 19q in oligodendrogliomas, gains of chromosome 7 as well as losses of chromosome 10 in glioblastomas (WHO-grade IV), including the fact that astrocytomas WHO-grade I to III show more changes of the chromosomes 7 and 10 by getting more undifferentiated and therefore more malignant. This study is aimed at finding out if these cytogenetic distinctive features and differences could be used to classify the different glioma subtypes.
Methods: 51 gliomal tumors including 12% oligodendrogliomas (67% WHO-grade II, 33%, WHO-grade III), 14% pilocytic astrocytomas, 4% astrocytomas WHO-grade II, 4% ependymomas, 8% oligoastrocytomas (33% WHO-grade II, 66%, WHO-grade III) and 57% glioblastomas were examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization using centromere specific probes for the chromosomes 7 and 10 and locus specific probes for 1p36 and and the telomere region of 19q.
Results: 48% of the examined glioblastomas showed gains of chromosome 7, 72% losses of chromosome 10 and 20% a combination of both alterations. The FISH-evaluation of pilocytic astrocytomas revealed losses of 1p36 (14%) and 19q (43%). 50% of astrocytomas WHO-grade II show losses of 1p36, 50% losses of 19q. As far as oligodendrogliomas are concerned, it has to be said that losses of 1p36 (33%) and 19q (50%) occur just as such of chromosome 10 (83%) and gains of chromosome 7 (33%). It's striking that numeral aberrations of the chromosomes 7 and 10 (+7/ -10) in oligodendrogliomas are going up when getting more undifferentiated (when approaching the astrocytic type). Oligodendroglial tumor with losses of chromosome 7 were found as well (20%). Losses of chromosome 10 combined with such of 19q appear especially in glioblastoma multiforme (21%).
Conclusions: Considering the fact that losses of 1p36, 19q, chromosome 10 as well as gains of chromosome 7 vary in the examined tumor entities as well as at the different steps of tumor progression, a tumor classification close to the morphological criteria is necessary.

The transgender Against Me! singer formerly known as Tom Gabel appeared in her first concert under the name of Laura Jane Grace Friday.
Grace was received well by the audience in San Diego, Rolling Stone reports. The punk-rock band, on tour with British group the Cult, performed six new songs, including "Transgender Dysphoria Blues," which will be the title track of the new Against Me! album.
The audience cheered when she performed another song with gender references, 2007's "The Ocean," with the line "If I could have chosen / I would have been born a woman." Grace's hormone therapy did not interfere with her voice or stamina, Rolling Stone notes, and fans interviewed by the magazine expressed support for her transition. Read the full article here.

My Test Gallery
"I love doing songs like ['Thought You Said']. Rapping is a hobby, so I definitely love to sing in pocket. It's definitely more challenging than holding a note for five seconds [laughs]. Diddy is the type of producer that knows exactly what he wants..but only when he hears it [laughs]. When I did the first take of 'Thought You Said," Diddy loved it, but he wanted me to do more takes. After the sixth one I was like, 'Puff, all you are going to do is pick the first take you heard. We are doing this work for nothing.' But Diddy wants to make sure he knows what he wants. We ended up doing 14 takes. And he still chose the first one.!' Ha!"

Meet Vivienne!
It took only a couple of months, but Farafa was finally somewhat cooperative so that I was able to get a shot of her newest infant. Turns out it's a girl! She can be seen here bouncing around on her mother's belly as Farafa is preoccupied with grooming, etc.

New infant at Fongoli!
Big news at Fongoli is that female Farafa had a new baby! She is also mother of Fanta, David and Frito (deceased). New baby seems to be doing well - very hardy in his clinging ability - and the rest of the chimp community is very interested in him (we think it's a boy but need to get a better view to be sure!).
In other news, we recently had a paper published in the American Journal of Primatology. First author is Michaela Howells, a 2005 graduate of Iowa State University in Anthroplogy. The paper stems from her Master's research on parasites at Fongoli and includes data on baboons as well as the Fongoli chimps. Here is a link to the journal:

New journal articles about Fongoli
The newest issue of the journal African Primates is online and access is free! Two articles stem from events at Fongoli. One details our work in returning Fongoli infant chimp Aimee to her mother Tia after she was taken by poachers in January 2009. The other notes a rare sighting of a guenon (monkey) not normally found as far north as Fongoli. Here is the link to the journal:

Tool-assisted hunting at Fongoli surpasses the century mark
So far this year, we've recorded 40 tool-assisted ("spear") hunts by Fongoli chimps, and the hunting "season" (i.e., the rainy season) has barely started... That brings the grand total of tool-assisted hunts by Fongoli chimps to over 130 recorded bouts since they were first habituated in 2005. Females continue to hunt more than expected, with males hunting less than expected - but with several adult males exhibiting the behavior (and one more than once!) since we first reported tool-assisted hunting in the 2007 Current Biology paper.
Below is a link to a short video showing Fongoli chimpanzee female Nickel's "spear" tool, which is included in the Smithsonian Institution's new Human Origins exhibit.

Farewell to Frito
Sadly, I was able to confirm this week upon my return to Fongoli that the chimpanzee my research team found dead in April was indeed Frito. He died at the age of 10 (or thereabouts), and you can see him in this video I took a month or so before he died. We don't know how he died, but he was found along a chimp trail between two distant water sources. Ultimately, he will be buried near Sakoto ravine where I think he found some of his happiest moments - especially in Sakoto pool. I don't believe I've ever seen a chimpanzee as happy-go-lucky as Frito. Fortunately, he is immortalized in the documentary films, 'Ape Genius' and 'Chimps: Next of Kin'. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Tia and Aimee one year later
It's been over one year since Tia's daughter Aimee was taken by poachers, confiscated by my project manager Dondo Kante and returned to her mother by myself, Dondo and Michel Sahdjakho, another research assistant on the Fongoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project. Both Tia and Aimee have recovered well. This is a brief video I took of Tia feeding on figs while Aimee just hangs around. It is the middle of the dry season, but they are in one of the small areas of gallery forest, along Tukantaba ravine here...

More Fongoli chimp news...fire and things
I spoke on Iowa Public Radio's 'The Exchange' today about the Fongoli chimps' behavior around fire, along with some comments on Nickel's tool being showcased in the Smithsonian's upcoming Human Origins. The latter half of the show includes Dr. Benjamin Beck of the Great Ape Trust of Iowa, speaking about his chimpanzee conservation project in Rwanda as well as new developments at The Trust.

Microsoft Interoperability Strategy
ChronoZoom, the award-winning open source cross-platform timeline that captures the "history of everything," continues to make waves in the education space. This time, Microsoft Research's Donald Brinkman has teamed up with the National Council of Social Studies, the American Historical Association, LearnNC from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a collection of students and teachers, with the goal of combining the staying power of face-to-face learning and teaching tools with the unprecedented visualization that ChronoZoom delivers.
From World War I to the European Colonization of the Americas, Brinkman and team are creating classroom curriculum that leverages ChronoZoom's ability to produce digital timelines and even presentations, ultimately keeping students more engaged while empowering them to reach their own conclusions.
"There's a certain amount of messiness to history that can make it a challenge to fully understand," says Middle School history teacher Samantha Shires, who helped develop the World War I curriculum. "ChronoZoom provides a visual representation that helps my students make sense of the messiness and act as an operator of history, rather than merely a bystander."
Following recent presentations and demos at the National Council for Social Studies Conference, the team is quickly gaining interest in the program and activities from across the country. To help others get started and expand ChronoZoom's reach, teachers can download the curriculum for free and customize the curriculum to best fit the needs of their classrooms. A handy step-by-step guide from Microsoft Research is also available to help users as they begin to develop their own custom timelines in ChronoZoom.

It has been shown countless times that smoking tobacco is a serious public health problem. The rampancy of lung and throat cancer means that we need to project young adults from themselves. To think that a 12 year old could rationally weigh the pros and cons of smoking is ludicrous. Of course we need to restrict the sale of tobacco to young ones.
Because smoking, or chewing tobacco can greatly impact your health, an individual should be at an age that they can fully comprehend the risks of consuming tobacco. If an individual is going to knowingly do something potentially harmful to themselves they can say it was a choice they made alone.
There should definitely be an age restriction on buying tobacco. I think a person should have to be 18 to be able to purchase it. It is so bad for the body and allowing minors to use it would not be a good idea. They should have to wait to buy tobacco.
Many research studies have shown that the brain does not fully develop in may people until they are even in their twenties. I do believe that minors should be restricted from tobacco usage as much as is possible while also being educated on the dangers and harmfulness of tobacco. However once a person reaches the age of 18 they should legally be allowed to do whatever they wish with their bodies in a controlled setting. Secondhand smoke laws are important and they do save lives.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General: Oak Family (Fagaceae). California white oak, sometimes referred to as valley oak, is a
deciduous tree, 12 to 30 m tall, with a rounded spreading crown. The mature bark is gray, scaly, and often vertically fissured in a checker-like pattern. Leaves are oblong to obovate, 5 to 10 cm long, with 7 to 11 deep lobes. The upper surface is green and shiny; the lower surface is grayish green. Like all oaks, white oak is monoecious and wind-pollinated. The acorn cups are composed of thick, tubercled scales. The one-seeded nuts are 3 to 5 cm long, oblong to ovoid, and mature in one year. Flowering takes place from March to April. Fruits mature between August and October. Good acorn production has been reported to occur annually, but high acorn numbers occur episodically. Trees of this species may be among the largest oaks in North America.

Fred Gallagher Showcases New Real Estate In "Megatokyo"
There are few countries that seem to have the universal allure of Japan, especially in America, where the foreign nation has earned a reputation for diverse experiences, the hottest trends, and beautiful women. Japan is especially enticing for those fans of Japanese comics and animation, manga and anime respectively, frequently labeled "otaku" and who can often be found majoring in Japanese at your local university. It's hard to imagine that any of these otaku would really mind being in Japan for an extended amount of time, casually walking down the streets of Shinjuku or admiring the costumed creatures at the Shibuya train station. But in DC/CMX Manga's "Megatokyo," two of those very devoted fans find themselves stuck in Japan and they find out that it's not quite as they imagined, but just may be what they needed. Originally serialized as a web-comic, then collected by Dark Horse, "Megatokyo" is writer/artist Fred Gallagher's first big manga series and with Volume 4 in stores as of last Wednesday from CMX, CBR News caught up with the creator to learn about the series' nuances.
"'Megatokyo' is the story of two Americans who fly to Japan on a whim and get stuck there, unable to afford tickets home," he explained. "The story should be about them and their efforts to find their way home, but for some reason each of them finds themselves wrapped up in situations that reflect their own unique – and drastically different – views of Tokyo," Gallagher told CBR News. "Piro is a quiet, shy anime/manga fan while his friend Largo is a boisterous hardcore American gamer. Between Piro's interest in a girl he finds himself growing close to, and Largo's quest to save Tokyo from destruction, the quest to earn enough money to buy tickets home seems almost to be forgotten. I think it's been categorized as a action / comedy / romance / drama / fantasy / big long complicated story, but I'm not sure even that covers it.
"The characters are based roughly on myself and my former partner and co-creator of the series, Rodney Caston. Rodney and I collaborated on Megatoyo until 2002, but I have been writing and drawing it solo since our split in 2002."
It's not hard to see how Piro and Largo were originally idealized versions of Caston and Gallagher, but with a series this complex and long running, it's easy for the characters to grow far beyond the original template. While Piro and Largo aren't quite exactly their creators, there's still a lot of Gallagher in the comic strips. "I think that anytime you create something you tend to put a lot of yourself into it. I put a lot of myself in 'Megatokyo,' and not just the Piro character. I can see elements of myself in many of the 'MT' characters. The line between myself and my characters is a gray fuzzy one, and I like to keep it that way. I often say that Piro is an idealized version of my younger self (which in and of itself is kinda sad if you think about it), but Piro is his own character. There are things he'll do that I'd never do, and vice versa."
Back in 2000, Gallagher brought "Megatokyo" to fans with his online webcomic, released Monday, Wednesday and Friday, allowing for fans to find frequent updates, and for Gallagher to quickly grow the series' mythology. Dark Horse Comics has collected the first five chapters (0-4) into a three-volume collection, and the move to CMX has yielded the strongest volume to date, Volume 4. "It contains Chapter Five and Six of which Chapter Six is some of my best work to date," contends Gallagher. "The book also contains many of the drawings, sketches and extra comics that appeared on the Megatokyo site during these chapters, as well as extra commentary and translations. The big extra in the book is a revised and expanded version of the short story 'Circuity' which originally appeared at the end of chapter 6. At 240 pages, it is the longest Megatokyo volume yet."
If you want to sample the comic in graphic novel form, and you've liked what you've seen on the website, then Volume 4 might not be a bad starting point for you, the new fan. Sure, it's nice to start from the first tale, but fans can easily fill in the missing gaps by reading the series online. "Actually, I think the material in Volume 4 is not a bad place for people to pick up and start reading Megatokyo," said Gallagher. "Much has happened since Piro and Largo arrived in Tokyo, but in Volume 4 it starts to really focus on the main characters and their stories. In much the same way that I started working on 'Megatokyo' to improve my art skills, I've also used it to learn how to write a long and involved story. It is in this book that I really started to pull things together."
Many fans were surprised to that the series was moving to CMX and wondered if there were problems at Dark Horse, but Gallagher is quick to praise Dark Horse as a great ally and good publisher. At the end of the day, it just came down to Gallagher feeling that his creative direction didn't quite fit Dark Horse's future goals. "I've had the privilege of meeting and getting to know a lot of people in the publishing industry," he explained. "Many publishers have talked to me about the possibility of working with them over the years. In talking with the folks at DC Comics / CMX, I really got a sense that the kind of work they wanted to produce was very much in line with the kind of work I want to create. Since I was on a book-by-book contract with Dark Horse for the 'Megatokyo' books, I decided to move to CMX / DC because I felt it would be a better home for my future projects. As I've said before, it was a very difficult decision to make, but now that volume four is out and I've had a chance to work with the people at DC / CMX, I feel I've made the right choice and am very happy with the results."
Fans have raved about Gallagher's artwork in "Megatokyo," with his attention to detail with both the characters and the backgrounds. Gallagher said that while some people may think he relies heavily on photo reference, the truth is he doesn't use much of it at all. "What I usually have around me are previous comics that I use for reference to keep a continuous feel. I tend to work from my impression of a location and my memories of how a place feels or how I would like it to feel, and use photographs merely to help 'tune' into it. In my previous life I was an Architect, so I've had a lot of experience working with space and the way people occupy it, as well as how buildings and spaces are put together. Usually I build backgrounds from memory, using shapes, textures and details as needed to create the right kind of space to support the characters occupying it. I used to think that my backgrounds were sloppy and way too random, but over time I've found that they have developed an almost impressionistic feel to them and a density that really works well with my character work.
"I tend to look at comics in an almost cinematic way," continued Gallagher. "I draw each frame separately and later assemble them into finished pages in illustrator. The drawings are as much a part of the development of a strip as my preliminary sketching and writing tend to be. My preliminary sketches are usually nothing more than basic scribbles — I tend to jump right in and work on the final drawings, usually completely finishing each drawing before I move onto the next.
"I tend to look at a comic page as a sequence of views, much like scenes in a movie. Putting the final comic together is sort of like editing a film. I have raw footage (drawings) that have to be cropped and assembled into the finished piece. Often, the dialogue changes drastically once the characters are looking up at me, so I tend to tweak things quite a bit as I'm pulling the final comic together… usually just a few minutes before I post."
Volume 5 of "Megatokyo" is about a year away, but that's all Gallagher is going to tell fans about upcoming events. "What's next? Well, the characters don't know so the readers shouldn't know either," he laughs. "I like to keep the illusion going that I'm really good at keeping secrets about what is going to happen in the story, but there is a good reason to do this — it helps you keep your options open. I have things planned out right to the end, but it doesn't mean that the characters are going to cooperate with me along the way. Quite often, they tend to decide for themselves what is really going to happen. When you put characters on the page and let them interact, they often surprise you, causing things to go in different directions originally planned. Allowing for this kind of flexibility improves the story and helps give it life. I often enjoy finding out what is really going to happen as much as the readers seem to. With the publication of Volume 4, the print versions of 'Megatokyo' are now much more current with the online versions. I just finished Chapter Seven, which is the chapter that immediately follows Volume 4. The web has been a great medium for releasing comics and building a community for 'Megatokyo' fans, but the books are a convenient and enjoyable way to read 'Megatokyo' and fans seem to enjoy them.
"I'm just about to start 'Megatokyo' chapter 8 next week, which is shaping up to be a very interesting chapter," continued Gallagher. "Now that Volume 4 is out, I'm looking foreword to getting out and meeting fans and doings some book signings. Sarah and I will be at San Diego Comic Con next month, with a booth full of books and 'Megatokyo' merchandise. After that, we'll be on the other side of the country for Otakon in Baltimore, Maryland."
And Gallagher enjoys giving back to the fans so much that he's made the series his priority, eschewing other work till the fans have their complete story. "When I did 'Circuity,' it was an 'omake' or extra that I did at the end of a chapter. I surprised many people by doing something that was very serious as opposed to the crazy humor that omake material usually is. I do like getting away from the 'Megatokyo' story from time to time, and I am very much looking forward to working on other stories. I do feel, however, that it's not fair to 'Megatokyo' readers to just drop things for long periods of time just so i can work on something else. This is the main reason I haven't started any other major projects yet. I don't want to work on them until either 'Megatokyo' is finished or I can produce 'Megatokyo' and that project at the same time.
"'Megatokyo' is really my first work. It's awkward and full of flaws, and I am very much looking forward to staring a new project where I can apply what I've learned doing Megatokyo to another story. To do everything I want to do I either need to work faster or there needs to be more hours in each day. Neither of those are very likely to happen."
The following art is from the aforementioned "Circuity."

Basic science in the United States is a serious trouble.A decline in support of most elements of basic research began with the economic crisis of 1967. Since then, recurring crises have added to the problem.
In the '70s urgent technological problems (e.g., energy, environment) have competed for manpower and money with a subject that delivers few votes and whose repayments to society appear remote. Almost everyone agrees that basic research is an important activity, but when budgets must balance or an important water project be funded, the science constituency is rarely there.
The public, given half a chance, shares the excitement of intellectual discovery with the scientists and shares, with the government, a faith in its social value. The executive branch, I believe, lacks a true perception of the long-range problems or the required imagination and courage to do right. Many members of Congress lack detailed information and the necessary time perspective. The scientists have clearly failed to make their case all around.
Typical of the attitude of some legislators is that another convenient cut into the basic research budget would merely result in the "deferral of marginal activities" or induce a "pause in growth." I want to argue that the present trend, superimposed on the long slide since 1967, has brought the activity to the danger point of irreversible contraction and imperils the long-range future prospects of survival of a society inescapably based on technology.
To argue factually I use, as an example, my own subject of high energy particle physics. I believe other disciplines can tell similar stories.
High energy physics concerns itself with the study of the structure of matter and energy -- it seeks the most elementary constituents out of which all matter is constructed. We deal with such exotica as quarks and neutrinos. The things we call elementary change with time. The predecessors of today's particle phsysicists successively solved the fundamental problems of the atom (from 1900- 1950) and the atomic nucleus (1930-1960) and, in so doing, laid the foundation for the dramatic revolution of post-World War II technology.
The progress in nuclear physics was made possible by a series of inventions -- particle accelerators, which began, in the US, with the invention of the cyclotron by E. O. Lawrence in 1930.
The 20-year period after World War II was one of great accomplishments, thanks to a stable and adequate rate of funding growth. This made passible increasingly more powerful accelerators and sophisticated particle detectors. A vast and unexpected richness was uncovered in the subnuclear domain. The US was clearly the world leader although extensive facilities were built in Europe, the USSR, and Japan. Now, due to our own strong foundation and a resurgent European contribution, 1980 is a period of imminent synthesis of a magnitude unequaled since the 1930s. Parallel progress was made in biology, astronomy, and the other basic research disciplines.
The decline in funding of high energy physics, which began in 1967, has resulted in a 30 percent decrease in dollars of constant purchasing power. In terms of the percentage of GNP (gross national product), funding for all of physics decreased by more than a factor of two. At the same time, the complexity and cost of the research has been increasing.
There resulted a dramatic contraction of facilities. Accelerators were retired at Argonne Laboratory, Berkeley, Harvard-MIT, Princeton, and Caltech. There remained three diversified centers: Brookhaven in New York, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago, and Stanford in California. These supply the accelerator facilities for about 80 US universities. Today, because of budgetary restraints, the accelerators are being operated at less than 50 percent of full utilization in spite of a capital investment of well over $1 billion.
Our problems are intensified by competition from Western Europe. In the mid-'70s European funding for high energy physics passed that of the US. European high energy research now enjoys a support which is twice that of the US for roughly the same GNP and population base.
While their population of PhD physicists in this field is approaching 2,000, the US number has been stationary at 1,100. The loss of young US scientists is probably the most catastrophic result of the funding squeeze. Since it is totally unreasonable to ask the creative scientist to put many years of his or her life into research which will be done sooner and with more powerful equipment in Europe, second best can quickly become second rate.
The US laboratories have attempted to overcome this problem by bold innovation to develop new opportunities and reduce costs. The addition of superconducting accelerators at Fermilab and Brookhaven and the design of a new type of linear collider at Stanford are examples. However, these efforts, which involve developing equipment at the far frontier of technology, have naturally met unexpected problems. In the present climate of funding, boldness is discouraged and the programs run the risk of delays and discouragement.
The present fiscal crisis (1981 Federal Budget) threatens a further decrease in real funding. The loss in real purchasing power from 1978 through 1981 (President's Budget is about 12 percent or $45 million. It must be noted that the contraction of the past 13 years has reduced flexibility to a bare minimum. About 70 percent of the operating support now goes for salary-related costs and 15 percent goes for electrical power. This leaves very little for programmatic options.
The leverage of even a few percent change is exceedingly high. There now is serious consideration in the US physics community of a further contraction of the scope and base to two laboratories. This would destroy geographical balance and, worse, deny US physicists the diversity of facilities which the science requires.
To insure the success of our innovations and the viability of three laboratories and to raise utilization to 50 percent would require an increase of about 15 percent over the President's 1981 budget for high energy physics. An increase (over the next few years) of 30 percent in real purchasing power would enable us to capitalize on our ingenuity, begin to recapture the young investigators, and to compete successfully on the world scene.
This would cost about $100 million or .015 percent of the federal budget. A proportionate restoration for all of basic research would add 0.25 percent. Of equivalent significance would be a mechanism for stabilizing support, of insulating it from the next fiscal crisis. This is crucial in view of the long-term nature of the pure research activity. An accelerator takes seven years to build, experiments average three years, and the training of professionals takes five years after the doctoral degree.
The forthcoming crises facing society are generally perceived. One sums the facts of depleting natural resources, planetary constamination, and the reasonable expectations of developing nations. When these problems are extrapolated to the 21st century, it is clear that humane solutions will require radically new technologies, deployed with a much greater understanding of both social and natural constraints. However, it is not at all clear that we have enough understanding of nature to devise these new technologies. If we neglect the basic research endeavor, we are in grave danger of a collapse of technology-based society.
The foolishness of undersupport of basic research is compounded by the fact that there is a continuing repayment to society in technological "spin-off." The social uses of pure research are indeed long term. But inventions, incidental to the carrying out of the research, create goods, services, taxes, conveniences , and life-prolonging devices which more than pay for the costs of the research.
The interaction of basic research and industrial technology is complicated. But basic research engenders a state of mind and a standard of quality. There is a strong inference that the weakening of traditional US leadership in advanced technology, surely a major factor in our stagnant economy, is related to the 13-year slide in funding of the research sector.
A vigorous and imaginative recommitment to support of basic research is economic and social sanity and an expression of faith in the future of our society.

Hardware refers to the computer's physical components, like the monitor, keyboard, memory chips, motherboard and hard drive. Software is the set of instructions which tells the hardware to accomplish a task, software uses hardware for four basic functions: input, processing, storage and output.Hardware components must communicate with both data and instructions among themselves.
A computer user interacts with the computer in a way that the user and the software understand, like entries made from the keyboard and the mouse.
Although, software must convert those instructions into a form which hardware can understand. All of the communication between hardware and software, or between software and other software is reduced to a yes or no, inside the computer this is represented as two simple states: on and off.
The technology of storing and reading only two states is called binary, and the number system which uses only two digits, 0 and 1, is called the binary number system.
A 1 or 0 in this system is called a bit, or a binary digit. Because of the way the number system is organized, grouping is usually done in groups of eight bits, each group is called a byte.
With a computer, all counting and calculations use the binary number system. Counting in binary goes like this: 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, and so on. all letters and characters are converted to a binary code before being stored on in a computer. An example is the uppercase letter A in binary code is 0100 0001, and the number 25 is 0001 1001.

Star Trek Online has been out for a year now, and no MMO in recent memory has made such a huge improvement in its first year. STO went from disappointing for some Star Trek Fans, to a great online version of the Trek Universe in less than twelve months. If you tried STO last year and haven't played since many of the improvements have been implemented, or never tried the game out; here are ten reasons why you should play Star Trek Online.
The Foundry
Currently going through testing on the "Tribble" test server, the Foundry is going to change Star Trek Online in a big way. This tool allows players to craft their own missions and share them with everyone else. Star Trek fans have always been creative, and there are already some extremely impressive missions created using the tool. It won't be long now, and you'll be able to live out your favorite Kirk/Spock slash fiction in the game.
Featured Episodes
STO is currently in it's third "season" of Featured Episodes. Every Saturday a new episode becomes available, and they're really structured like an episode from one of the TV series. The current season deals with the Romulans and Remans, and the missions just keep getting cooler and with better rewards. A word of warning, however, there are currently so many people play Star Trek Online that the server has become a bit unstable on Saturdays with everyone trying to do the new episodes at once.
Diplomacy was one of the big things missing from launch, and it's one of the things that kept people from feeling that the game was really Star Trek; as it was mostly combat back then. Last year, they added Diplomacy missions that are great fun. Sure, running to DS9 to get a Jum Jum Stick for Kirayoshi O'Brien is just a fetch quest, but solving problems on Vulcan and mediating disputes between warring Cardassian captains is exactly the sort of diplomacy you see in the series and the missions handled them well.
New Sector Space
One if the big improvements in Season 3 was a revamp of Sector Space. It now really looks like you're flying through space. If you get lost, you can still turn on the astrometrics, but you don't need to and it all looks great. They also reduced the lighting in Sector Space so ships look much more like they're really in space with most light coming from the ships themselves.
Improved Crafting
Crafting on Memory Alpha was initially a bit boring and didn't give out that great of rewards. That's changed when they revamped the crafting system to be a bit more involved, but more rewarding at the same time. They also improved the crafting rewards, with Voyager's Delta Flyer shuttle becoming a crafting mission reward (you can currently buy the shuttle from the C-Store).
Real Klingon Content
At launch, the Klingon faction was pretty much entirely PVP focused. That's changed in the last year. There's a lot of Klingon PVE content now and the Klingons can even take part in the new featured episodes. If there's one section of the game that's seen the most improvement, it's really the Klingon faction. With them taken care of, now we need playable Romulans.
Mission Replay
This is a minor feature that was added, but a lot of people wanted it and it's actually pretty cool. By going to your Ready Room, and accessing the Mission Logs; you're able to replay any mission that you've previously completed. This is handy if you missed anything in an earlier mission and want to go back to do it.
One of the other big changes that got the community all excited was the addition of mini-games such as Dabo on Deep Space Nine. It's not just the gambling that the player base was jumping up and down for, but they managed to get Chase Masterson to reprise her role of Leeta for the Dabo game.
Graphics Changes
Cryptic has been making big strides with the game lately, especially in the graphics department. In addition to the afore-mentioned Sector Space; they've also been working hard to make the game look more like Star Trek. One big example is a recent upgrade to Earth's Space Dock. Not only was the exterior changed to look more like it should, the inside was designed as well.
Ship Interiors
While every ship had a bridge at launch, they didn't have ship interiors. That changed last year with the ability to explore your ship, and some further upgrades to them are on the wish list (such as being able to launch a shuttle from inside your ship). They've also added new bridges, and how could any TNG fan not get excited when beaming onto the bridge above?

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to sign free agent guard Vince Carter to a three-year, $12 million deal according to Yahoo! Sports. Memphis, which is over the salary cap, is able to sign Carter by using a portion of the mid-level exception.
Carter, 37, will replace the likely outgoing Mike Miller on the wing for the Grizzlies next season. While not the pure sharpshooter that Miller is, Carter converted 40 percent of his long-range attempts in his last two years with Dallas while filling in creative gaps when needed. This move is more than replacing one spot shooter for another. Beyond his ability to space the floor for the Grizzlies' stars, Carter is also a skilled pick-and-roll player, a decent playmaker off the dribble and a strong, able perimeter defender. His is the game of a former star repackaged into that of a role player, which should help to jazz up the Grizzlies' offense.
Memphis head coach Dave Joerger did a fine job of increasing his team's tempo of execution last season while folding more complex offensive functions, though schematic tweaks can only go so far when the wing positions are manned by specialists. Courtney Lee was a big help last season if only because he could do a touch of everything. Carter is a similar player with far more offensive skill, and along with the returning Quincy Pondexter (who played just 15 games last season due to a broken foot) should greatly expand the utility of the Grizzlies wing corps. They'll provide a fuller complement to Memphis' stars in the coming season, and in Carter they have a creator through which to channel spurts of second-unit offense. Good on the Grizz for addressing the Miller void with a player capable of serving the same function and more.
Grade: B-plus. Giving a three-year deal to a 37-year-old wing player might seem like a risk, but Carter's game (which yielded 17.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per 36 minutes just last season) has aged gracefully enough to justify the investment. Plus, Carter's deal will only be partially guaranteed in its final season, allowing Memphis to benefit from his game in the interim while hedging against the 39-year-old Carter in 2016.

From Our Editors
The best part of any comic book is when the heroes and villains face off. At Denver Urban Avengers, participants get to experience those thrills firsthand. Donning the costumes of their favorite heroes, villains, or characters of their own creation, contenders race through a scavenger-hunt style course through a city in peril. Then, at a series of checkpoints, they must perform a superpower-themed feat in the battle between good and evil. Afterward, the first three teams to finish receive their due honors and awards are handed out to best costumes on both an individual and team scale. The whole thing caps off with an X-Ray Vision Dance Party, lead underwear optional. The race also gives you another reason to feel like a superhero: a quarter of each registration fee goes toward fighting cystic fibrosis.

Last week I mentioned that the MCL on my spinning leg was sore. I believe it's from doing broken leg sit spins - the position I take causes a lot of pressure on the inside of my skating knee, and it probably aggravated my MCL. While it's healing, I've started working diligently on my back sit spin.
At Nationals, I did not receive credit for a backwards entry feature in my back sit/forward sit combination. Coach B thinks that my back sit wasn't low enough, so it didn't count. Well, I am determined to fix that, so I am focusing on lowering my spin so my thighs are parallel to the ice.
Here is where I am at right now.
And I hope to add a twist to my back sit spin this season so I can gain an additional level for my spin. This is the beginnings of a back twist. It's not 100% there yet because I need to turn my head and torso more, but it's a good start.
Happy Friday,

The Making of the NBIF Television Commercials
When the fine folks at the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation approach Hemmings House to partner with them on a series of three commercials that celebrate New Brunswick's past and present world of innovation and general awesomeness, we immediately cracked open our creative whiteboard markers and got to work! It didn't take long to realize that we had a wealth of cool ideas to pull from. There are SO MANY cool stories of innovation in New Brunswick, past and present. Heck we could have done a hundred of these little films. We are really proud of these three commercials and proud of our creative and innovative heritage. We were really stoked as well that the NBIF team allowed us to exercise our own innovative film making techniques on these films, kinda fitting eh? There are some cool stylistic references that we borrowed from in these commercials ranging from Wes Anderson's 'Life Aquatic' to Red Bull Media House's 'Art of Flight'. Check out the behind the scenes film as our team brings a great team together, builds an epic set, and gives birth to three really neat commercials. If you are from New Brunswick you are going to be proud of what our province has invented over the years, if you aren't from New Brunswick I hope these films encourage you to take a look at what cool things were invented in your home town!
And if you have an innovative idea, check out www.NBIF.ca in case they can help make your brilliant idea become a reality!

Cardinals-Padres Preview
It's well known how bad the San Diego Padres' offense is but less so that the St. Louis Cardinals are baseball's second-lowest scoring club.
Surging right-handers Lance Lynn and Tyson Ross figure to be eager to face these offenses in their matchup to open this three-game series at pitcher-friendly Petco Park on Tuesday night.
San Diego (46-59) owns baseball's worst offense, averaging 3.1 runs with 72 homers – the third-lowest total in the majors. The Padres' .218 batting average is baseball's worst and only the 1972 Texas Rangers (.217) finished with a lower mark since the divisional era started in 1969.
St. Louis (56-48) boasted the NL's top offense a year ago with 4.8 runs per game, but that figure is down to 3.7 in 2014. The Cardinals have homered a league-low 68 times.
Games at Petco Park average 6.1 runs – baseball's lowest figure. That figures to play to the advantage of Lynn (11-7, 3.05 ERA) and Ross.
Ross owns the NL's best ERA in July at 1.03 while Lynn is not far behind at 1.75.
Lynn's three-start win streak ended last Wednesday when he yielded two runs over 6 1-3 innings in a 3-0 defeat to Tampa Bay. He struck out seven and threw 118 pitches – his second-highest total.
"He did a great job of keeping us in that game," manager Mike Matheny said. "Threw a lot of pitches but really fought to keep us in."
Lynn is 1-1 with a 5.73 ERA in two career outings against the Padres – both in St. Louis. Will Venable has faced him the most among San Diego hitters, going 4 for 7 with a homer.
Ross (9-10, 2.65) is seeking his first career three-start win streak after limiting the Chicago Cubs to one run in six innings with a career-high 11 strikeouts last Thursday in a 13-3 road win.
"The power fastball-slider combination was there," manager Bud Black said. "It's devastating."
That combination has resulted in Ross' 58.6 groundball percentage that is second in the majors to Houston's Dallas Keuchel.
Ross has never started against the Cardinals, allowing an unearned run in three innings of relief over three appearances.
St. Louis is hoping Matt Holliday can continue his surge as it searches for offense. Holliday has found his power stroke of late – hitting half of his 10 homers in his last 11 games, including two this weekend as the Cardinals took two of three on the road from the Cubs.
Matt Carpenter, among the NL's leaders with a .320 road average, went 6 for 13 with four runs scored in that series.
San Diego welcomed back second baseman Jedd Gyorko for Monday's 2-0 loss at Atlanta – the 16th time it was shut out. Gyorko, who went 1 for 3 and is batting .164, was out since June 4 with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
Third baseman Yangervis Solarte will make his home debut after being acquired last Tuesday in the deal that sent Chase Headley to the New York Yankees. Solarte went 0 for 4 against Lynn earlier this year for New York.
The Cardinals took four of six from the Padres last year.

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 protects migratory birds between the United States and Canada by making the act of hunting, capturing or selling protected birds illegal. The Act also protects feathers, eggs and nests. The Act protects over 800 species as of 2015.
It's possible to obtain permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to participate in activities otherwise prohibited by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, including taxidermy and falconry. The FWS also issues permits to people who use protected birds for educational purposes or scientific research. An airport may obtain a permit to eliminate geese near the facility for safety reasons.
The FWS made several revisions to the original 1918 version of the Act in 2006, including adding 152 protected species, eliminating 12 species and updating the scientific names of several species. The agency performed these updates because the original Act accidentally omitted some species, while other species changed geographical distribution. A court order gave the mute swan temporary protection in 2001, but the changes in 2006 removed its protection because this species is human introduced and non-native.
Species covered by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 include the bald eagle, American black vulture, downy woodpecker, mourning dove and red-tailed hawk. Some game birds are also covered by the Act, but the FWS determined that hunting these species is appropriate if hunting the species is a long tradition and appropriate for population maintenance. The Act lists over 170 species as game birds, but people can only legally hunt 60 species.

So glad to have HH back in action. Seeing this made me feel like I'm home...and it also reminded that I saw something at a store today that I thought "I have to go back and get that for Brigetta's bday b/c it'll be perfect for her KITCHEN." They didn't have a lot of them though so we'll have to hope that there's one still there waiting just for you and your cute kitchen. Can't wait to be standing in your kitchen soon :) and btw, I had no idea that you love plates so much--I had SO many beautiful sets before we moved and you know I would have given you whatever you wanted...bummer! love you friend

Here at drinkstuff we always like to do our bit for charity. So in light of England's final group match against Ukraine (and hopefully not their last match of the tournament), what better than a football themed dress down day? We had football shirts, England flags, painted faces and painted nails! The big bosses put company money forward to sponsor any staff member that dressed up in a football theme and we have raised £150 for the charity Unicef!
Come on England!

Arsenal once again suffered defeat at the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and this time the Gunners ended the game with nine men.
Gabriel Paulista and Santi Cazorla were sent off for the visitors as Chelsea comfortably crossed the winning line.
The Brazilian star Paulista was arguably the best player on the field for the Gunners until he was sent off. The former Villareal star was matching Costa's physicality and was commanding in defense. However, the best turned worst and a silly decision to kick Costa eventually ended Gabriel's game and ruined Arsenal's day.
Arsenal did create a few chances in the game but once again poor finishing did not help. Wenger remains the real culprit and the fact that the Gunners did not sign a striker in summer is still haunting them.
Arsenal's next fixture in the Premier League is against high flying Leicester City who are now the only remaining unbeaten side. Here are Arsenal ratings vs Chelsea.

Time: February 18, 2013 from 7pm to 9pm
Location: Dustin's House
Event Type: monthly, meeting, meet-up
Organized By: Isidore Ducasse
Latest Activity: Feb 16, 2013
Export to Outlook or iCal (.ics)
Think Atheist holds monthly meetings (typically the third Monday of every month, but that is subject to change) to discuss topics of interest and simply enjoy the company of other free-thinkers! The site founder, Morgan Matthew, will be in attendance, as well as site administrators, Cara Coleen, Isidore Ducasse, and Robert Karp.
Below is our agenda for Monday. Click on it to see it in full view!
I have been in the process of securing a religious member of Mensa to come and speak to the group. It often seems that atheists feel they have a monopoly on intelligence. So it might be valuable to the group to listen to an "officially intelligent" person (hence the Mensa membership) discuss reasons for adopting religious beliefs (this will not be a debate). Our speaker will be available for March's meeting (March 18th). More information will follow on that later.
As for this month, as a precursor to March's meeting, I plan to speak on the connection between intelligence and atheism, as well as some interesting stuff on autism and atheism. We will be meeting at Dustin's house (in the general Baltimore area). Please send me an email and I'll give you his address and phone number.
Note to anyone considering coming to a meeting for the first time: Please don't be shy about coming to a member's home, or requesting the address. We ask that you request the address via email so we don't have to post peoples' personal information on the site. We'd love for you to come out; we're a nice bunch of people. :-)

While I've been an enthusiastic supporter of Windows Phone 7 since Microsoft announced the new smartphone platform back in February, it's time for a reality check. Yes, Windows Phone 7 offers excellent competition to the current industry favorites Apple iPhone and Google Android. And yes, I do think it will establish itself as one of the key mobile platforms going forward. But Windows Phone 7 isn't an acceptable enterprise smartphone solution, at least not in its initial release. This will change over time. But I think it's important that you understand where this new platform falls short from an enterprise perspective.
Before we get to that, allow me to at least provide some good news. Windows Phone does provide a number of features that should be useful to information workers of all kinds and will form the basis of a broader enterprise push in a future update. For example, Windows Phone ships with support for multiple Exchange Server accounts (including those non-Microsoft systems based on Exchange ActiveSync, or EAS). Indeed, Windows Phone's email client (which is named after Outlook but fortunately bears no relation, technical or otherwise) is my current favorite on any mobile device, an email triaging wonder.
Windows Phone also provides a decent Office Mobile client, albeit one that is actually missing a few features from Office Mobile 2010 for Windows Mobile. And it ships with a terrific SharePoint Workspace client, providing seamless, over-the-air access to multiple SharePoint servers and the documents they contain.
And that's about it. What Windows Phone 7 is, really, is a "phone that consumers will buy and bring to work," as a Microsoft representative told me recently. It is, in other words, very much like the iPhone in that it targets consumers first and foremost, and does the minimum to be acceptable at work. This is the way the world is going. Although I've expressed my fears over the so-called consumerization of IT here in UPDATE before, allow me to reiterate a key theme: Businesses think they're saving money by letting workers use their own phones with work-related data and resources, but the resulting lowering of the guard might ultimately come back to haunt them.
(Side note: According to Microsoft, 82 percent of Windows Mobile phones are actually purchased by end users, with only 11 percent purchased directly by the employer. You have to think the first percentage is even higher for consumer-friendly devices like iPhone and Android and will be too, eventually, for Windows Phone 7.)
Windows Phone does offer a few security-related features that could mitigate some of these concerns. You can configure a policy to require the user to protect their phone with a 4-digit (or longer) PIN, for example, if they access your Exchange Server. Applications are sandboxed from each other to prevent electronic attacks. And the devices can't be configured as portable hard drives for PCs, so they can't take part in any wholesale theft of data.
But the Windows Phone story falls apart in the details. Yes, Windows Phone 7 supports a number of Exchange policies. But unlike Windows Mobile, which supports the full range of Exchange policies, Windows Phone 7 (for now at least) supports only a subset of those policies. Microsoft calls these the "core" set of EAS policies.
I'm trying to secure a final list of what is and what is not included in Windows Phone 7. At a minimum, this platform will include the following EAS policies: Password Required, Password Expiration, Password History, Allow Simple Password, Minimum Password Length, Idle Timeout Frequency/Value, Device Wipe Threshold/Codeword Frequency, and Remote Device Wipe. Microsoft says it will bring more policies (and other functionality) to Windows Phone 7 over time, thanks to its built-in Windows Phone Update feature. No word yet on timing, but I suspect that what gets added first will be prioritized based on feedback.
Dig a bit deeper and there are other concerns. Windows Phone 7 works with Exchange Server 2003, 2007, and 2010, but only with SharePoint 2010. And you'll need Forefront Universal Access Gateway (UAG) if you want to access SharePoint 2010 content from outside the corporate firewall. Using SharePoint Online? You're out of luck: It won't work until Microsoft updates that service to utilize SharePoint 2010.
One issue Apple ran into with corporate customers is that none were interested in using the public iTunes Store to deploy their internal applications to the devices. So Apple created a software solution that allows businesses to deploy their internal applications. Microsoft, meanwhile, requires that Windows Phone 7 apps be deployed through its own iTunes equivalent, Windows Phone Marketplace. Currently, there's no alternative, rendering this platform almost completely useless to businesses that want to create custom apps. Microsoft's plan is to provide a solution in the future, hopefully similar to what's available today on Windows Mobile via System Center.
Put simply, Windows Phone 7 is a wonderful platform for end users. But for the enterprise that wants to really manage what happens on the devices they deploy to end users, the initial shipping version is going to fall a bit short. And in all the hoopla around the release of this product, this is an important detail that often gets overlooked.

We like to promote National Running Day on The Morning Call's Health blog because it's an activity that most of us, even those who don't run, can do to improve our health.
There are countless days, weeks and months to recognize all sorts of maladies, those who suffer from them and those who work to ease their suffering and eradicate their illness. Those commemorations all are worthy and deserve respect.
But this is a day that's hard to resist. It wisely comes at a beautiful time of year. And it doesn't require much more than some decent footwear and a will to get moving. It also promotes an activity that could stave off some of the illnesses being commemorated.
For some, running comes naturally, something that keeps the body fit and helps the mind unwind. For those who are not naturals -- I count myself in this club, and at times, parts of my workout look very much like walking -- it can be a grind, although the reward is still there.
Then there are those who don't run. This event is for you, too. You can use this day as a launch point to begin taking steps, literally, to improve your health. So what if all you can do is walk? Take some steps and see what you can do -- of course, make sure you consult your doctor first if you have any concerns.
Here are some tips from Prevention magazine for beginners.
If you're thinking about trying it, the Lehigh Valley Road Runners have a free 5k in the Lehigh Parkway in Allentown at 6:30 p.m. this evening. It's a mostly flat, cinder trail so it's a great place if you're a beginner. Other opportunities to join a group run locally are out there too.
Think you're too old for this? This woman might say otherwise.

This should be a good year for me...
I'm hoping that this year will turn out to be a good one for me. So far it's been pretty rough. Law school is not fun. I don't care which law student or lawyer you talk to, if they tell you that law school is fun, they are liars. But it is pretty rewarding... as long as you can get a job after you graduate.
Other than law school, my wife and I just found out that we're going to have a baby. I guess that won't really affect this year as much as it will affect next year for me. This has already changed the way I'm looking at things. I was planning on buying a nice computer next year, since I've had mine for about 3 years now and it's getting a bit outdated. However, I think I might have to put that money towards a new camcorder and other various items to prepare for the kid. I am hoping for a boy, since Kiley hates baseball. That way I'll have somebody to watch the games with me.
Speaking of baseball, my St. Louis Cardinals are in the World Series and just won a game last night to put them up 2-1 in the series over the Detroit Tigers. This might not be important news to most of you, but it's a bit step for me. As a long-time University of Utah fan and Utah Jazz fan, I have never seen one of my teams win it all. I know the U of U football team won the Fiesta bowl a few years ago, but that wasn't quite a National Championship, and the Jazz have only reached the NBA finals a couple of times but got beat by the Bulls on both occasions. So this is big news for me.
In other news, I'm really hoping to get a job at a law firm for next summer. It's quite a competitive process and some of the big law firms will pay up to about $2500 per week here in Las Vegas. I interviewed with a couple firms and I'm not too positive I'll get either position, but it would be a dream come true if I did. That would sure take some of the financial pressure off. The important thing about getting a job at a good firm for next summer is that most firms make offers to their summer associates to come back and work after graduation. That would be the ideal way for me to start out my career as an attorney.
I know this has been a pretty long post, but it's been a while since many of you have heard from me, so this should catch you up on everything. That is all for now...

I'm Back
I know most of you don't care, but I'm back in the world of blogging. This time I think I'm going to keep it simple. I'll probably just post a few times a week, when I get the time. I got the idea from Keltose, and I think it's a good way for my friends to keep up on my life without having to call everybody. So check back often for updates...

Jenny's Instagrams
{read Jenny's interview about her life as an artist on The Getty Museum's online magazine}
진미 became Jenny
서울 became Seoul
as she swallowed the past whole.
left-handed became right-handed
faith became formula
as she swallowed the past whole
mother became stranger
brother became ashes
as the whole past swelled deep inside her
the past became present
as light moved from left and right
and the past could no longer remain whole
In 1974 I moved from Seoul to Bakersfield. This year, this 2013, I find myself finally realizing the significance this move has had on my life, my essence, my entire being. I think I've tried to underestimate the significance, to try and swallow and thereby ignore whole, the harshness of the reality.
Through a series of unfortunate and fortunate events, I'm finally at a point in my life to embrace it and examine it in many ways, most of all through art. And when I think about it, there is harshness about the experience, but also incredible a story of beauty and wonder. My story.
I've been doing lots of explorations in the studio. During these last few days, for some unknown reason, I've been doing a whole lot of free motion stitching. Not sure how long this obsession will last. For me, obsessions come in little waves. And I've learned it's a good thing to just ride them out and see where they take me.
So this free motion stitched face is my latest exploration. Before it looked like this ...
it looked like this. And before I started this, I used ...
this earlier sketch as a point of reference. And this sketch was being made while listening to Cat Steven's beautiful version of Morning has Broken.
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird ...
Here are a few additional pieces I've free motion stitched.
This last one actually sold recently and so it's no longer with me. Sort of sad but happy that it's going to someone who adores it.
So I've been asked are all my works for sale? Well, some are and some aren't. One of these days, it's my goal to try and upload some of my originals onto my etsy shop (which has been vacant for a long long time ... just not enough time in the day) ... but in the meantime, what usually happens is that when a person likes what they see on my IG or FB feed, they let me know. And then we go from there. So if there's something that speaks to you, by all means, feel free to write me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'll let you know if it's available or not. And one of these days, like I said, I'll load a bunch up in more of an official manner on etsy or something like that.
Some faces and a body.
Graphite and watercolors on paper: This face was inspired by Sara Jimenez.
Graphite on priority mail envelope: I like that some feel that this one is of a male while others feel that it is of a female.
Watercolor on paper: I like the large, loose strokes of working without a pencil.
Graphite, white acrylic, collage, and red string on matboard: I almost added a word but didn't. I still could.
Graphite, white charcoal, and collage on matboard.
Graphite, white charcoal, and collage on matboard: Taking baby steps practicing how to draw the body. I'd like to learn how to draw a face proportionally connected to the body.
