A Muslim Friend's Letter to Slain Father Ragheed
"In the Name of What God of Death Have They Killed You?"
ROME, JUNE 6, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of a letter written posthumously to Father Ragheed Aziz Ganni by a Muslim friend of his who is a professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University. Father Ragheed and three deacons were shot and killed in Mosul, Iraq, on Sunday after Mass.
* * *
In the name of the compassionate and merciful God,
Ragheed, my brother,
I ask your forgiveness for not being with you when those criminals opened fire against you and your brothers. The bullets that have gone through your pure and innocent body have also gone through my heart and soul.
You were one of the first people I met when I arrived to Rome. We met in the halls of the Angelicum and we would drink our cappuccino in the university's cafeteria. You impressed me with your innocence, joy, your pure and tender smile that never left you.
I always picture you smiling, joyful and full of zest for life. Ragheed is to me innocence personified; a wise innocence that carries in its heart the sorrows of his unhappy people. I remember the time, in the university's dining room, when Iraq was under embargo and you told me that the price of a single cappuccino would have satisfied the needs of an Iraqi family for a whole day.
You told me this as if you were feeling guilty for being far away from your persecuted people and unable to share in their sufferings …
In fact, you returned to Iraq, not only to share the suffering and destiny of your people but also to join your blood to the blood of thousands of Iraqis killed each day. I will never forget the day of your ordination [Oct. 13, 2001] in the [Pontifical] Urbanian University … with tears in your eyes, you told me: "Today, I have died to self" … a hard thing to say.
I didn't understand it right away, or maybe I didn't take it as seriously as I should have. … But today, through your martyrdom, I have understood that phrase. … You have died in your soul and body to be raised up in your beloved, in your teacher, and so that Christ would be raised up in you, despite the sufferings, sorrows, despite the chaos and madness.
In the name of what god of death have they killed you? In the name of which paganism have they crucified you? Did they truly know what they were doing?
O God, we don't ask you for revenge or retaliation. We ask you for victory, a victory of justice over falsehood, life over death, innocence over treachery, blood over the sword. … Your blood will not have been shed in vain, dear Ragheed, because with it you have blessed the soil of your country. And from heaven, your tender smile will continue to light the darkness of our nights and announce to us a better tomorrow.
I ask your forgiveness, brother, for when the living get together they think they have all the time in the world to talk, visit, and share feelings and thoughts. You had invited me to Iraq … I dreamed of that visit, of visiting your house, your parents, your office. … It never occurred to me that it would be your tomb that one day I would visit or that it would be verses from my Quran that I would recite for the repose of your soul …
One day, before your first trip to Iraq after a prolonged absence, I went with you to buy souvenirs and presents for your family. You spoke with me of your future work: "I would like to preside over the people on the base of charity before justice" — you said.
It was difficult for me to imagine you a "canonical judge" … And today your blood and your martyrdom have spoken for you, a verdict of fidelity and patience, of hope against all suffering, of survival, in spite of death, in spite of everything.
Brother, your blood hasn't been shed in vain, and your church's altar wasn't a masquerade. … You assumed your role with deep seriousness until the end, with a smile that would never be extinguished … ever.
Your loving brother,
Adnam Mokrani

When my husband made me these window boxes this summer, I was already getting excited about decorating them for Christmas. I knew I wanted to use fresh evergreen boughs and some Christmas lights to add some festive touches to the front of our home. We bought the evergreen boughs at a local florist shop. The "dogwood sticks" are just some sticks from our yard that I spray painted "Colonial Red." We did want to buy real dogwood sticks but they were over eight dollars for a small bunch. DIYing them ourselves saved us a bundle!
What do you do to decorate the front of your home for Christmas? Leave a comment and a link if you like so we can all visit! Happy Monday!

Jonathan Groff Talks His New HBO Gay Series, 'Looking'!
Actor Jonathan Groff gave a great interview to BuzzFeed regarding "changing the face of gay Hollywood" and his upcoming slate of gay-centric projects, including the David Sedaris film adaptation C.O.G., which opened in theaters this weekend and is available on iTunes and VOD, and the upcoming film adaptation of The Normal Heart (directed by Ryan Murphy).
While we're excited for all of these projects, it's Groff's upcoming HBO series Looking, which centers around a group of gay male friends in San Francisco, which has had us scouring the web for details!
Groff opens up a little on what we can expect! Check out this excerpt from his BuzzFeed interview:
Looking, Groff's current gig, won't premiere on HBO until next year at the earliest. Still, some are already calling it "Girls for gay men," and while it's not as simple as that, Groff appreciates the reference.
The series was a project Groff sought out due to his interest in director Andrew Haigh, who helmed the 2011 film Weekend.
"I saw it with someone that's straight and we both were emotional at the end," Groff recalls. "And I thought, This love story is so specific and yes, it's gay, but it's so specific to these two human beings that it becomes universal. When a piece of art gets really specific is usually when anybody can relate to it."
Groff says that like Weekend, Looking is grounded and honest. It's also sexually frank in a way that few other series are, which might be what has already earned it the comparison to Girls.
"We're not showing sex to be sexy, necessarily," Groff notes. "When is the last time we've seen gay sex dealt with in a very frank and realistic way? Normally, it's very salacious and sexy, which it is, but there are complicated things about having sex as gay men that I think hopefully we'll address on our show."
When it hits the air, Looking will be one of very few series to focus so exclusively on the gay male experience. Outside of LGBT network Logo, the last show like it was Showtime's Queer as Folk, which ended its five-year run in 2005.
"I guess it's still risky, because why hasn't it happened in all this time?" Groff says. "I think about Will & Grace and I think about Modern Family, and the way that being gay has become sort of middle America… in the way that they show gay people in their specific way. Hopefully, now we can show a different side of it."
What do you think, Instincters? Intrigued by this "different side" of gay life that Looking may show?

i'm so sick of shows like this only being about just white gays and not having diversity where are the blks asians and latin guys even the middle eastern guys...i really wish i knw peopl in NYC and hollywood b/c i have an amazing pitch for a show i have a real talent for things like that i know i could write a hit show

firstname.lastname@example.com is still looking for Japanese to English translators/Timers/Type Setters/Encoders. Were able to get any raw of any current series out, so if you join us we can choose the series we wish!

Cutie Honey Fansubber
Need Older Raws
Group: Sailor Spork Productions
Looking for raw providers for older titles:
-VS Knights Lamune & 40 FIRE (VS騎士ラムネ&40 炎)
-Cutey Honey (original 1973 version).
We could also use translators, at least for Cutey Honey (since Lamune will basically be a remaster / edit of HECTO's old 'subbed from low quality 5th generation japanese TV source' version), but we need raws first. DVD-rips prefered, but I won't be picky. In Lamune's case, anything with no tracking lines and static would be a vast improvement...

Should we ask in a forum that might be frequented by translators... Nah that doesn't make any sense. Maybe we should throw a penny in the wishing well and wish for a translator!

There are a few cost-effective (^_^) ways to obtain translators.
1. Get a gf/bf who is Japanese.
2. Find a friend.
3. Farm them. (surprised no one has tried this)
4. Learn by yourself.
But you said that you already have a few. =O Let's not get greedy now, a few is enough for a few series. I'm sure you'll survive. Anyways, there are too many groups out there already, why add to the mess?

Topic Page: Khmer empire
(kӘmĕr'), ancient kingdom of SE Asia. In the 6th cent. the Cambodians, or Khmers, established an empire roughly corresponding to modern Cambodia and Laos. Divided during the 8th cent., it was reunited under the rule of Jayavarman II in the early 9th cent.; the capital was established in the area of Angkor by the king Yasovarman I (r. 889–900). The Angkor period (889–1434), the golden age of Khmer civilization, saw the empire at its greatest extent; it held sway over the valleys of the lower Menam (in present-day Thailand) and the lower Mekong (present-day Cambodia and Vietnam), as well as N into Laos.
The Khmer civilization was largely formed by Indian cultural influences. Buddhism flourished side by side with the worship of Shiva and of other Hindu gods, while both religions coalesced with the cult of the deified king. In the Angkor period many Indian scholars, artists, and religious teachers were attracted to the Khmer court, and Sanskrit literature flourished with royal patronage.
The great achievement of the Khmers was in architecture and sculpture. The earliest known Khmer monuments, isolated towers of brick, probably date from the 7th cent. Small temples set on stepped pyramids next appeared. The development of covered galleries led gradually to a great elaboration of plan. Brick was largely abandoned in favor of stone. Khmer architecture reached its height with the construction of Angkor Wat by Suryavarman II (r. 1113–50) and Angkor Thom by Jayavarman VII (r. 1181–c.1218). Sculpture, which also prospered at Angkor, showed a steady development from relative naturalism to a more conventionalized technique. Bas-reliefs, lacking in the earliest monuments, came to overshadow in importance statues in the round; in the later stages of Khmer art hardly a wall was left bare of bas-reliefs, which conveyed in the richness of their detail and vitality a vivid picture of Khmer life.
The Khmers fought repeated wars against the Annamese (see Annam) and the Chams; in the early 12th cent. they invaded Champa, but, in 1177, Angkor was sacked by the Chams. After the founding of Ayuthia (c.1350), Cambodia was subjected to repeated invasions from Thailand, and the Khmer power declined. In 1434, after the Thai captured Angkor, the capital was transferred to Phnom Penh; this event marks the end of the brilliance of the Khmer civilization.

Linebacker Grant remains sidelined
Swelling in knees, missed time have Haslett concerned
Thursday, August 12, 2004
By Jeff Duncan
Staff writer
Saints coach Jim Haslett is starting to get concerned about the health of linebacker Cie Grant.
Grant, a second-year linebacker, missed practice again Wednesday and continues to experience pain and swelling in his knees.
He missed the bulk of last season with an injury to his right knee. Grant, a former Ohio State standout, was so concerned about the lingering effects of the injury that he saw a specialist in the offseason to get a second opinion.
Grant then hyper-extended his left knee a week ago and was sidelined for a handful of practices.
When he's been on the field, Grant has excelled in his bid to win the starting middle linebacker spot. Rookie Courtney Watson has taken advantage of Grant's absence to seize the inside track for the starting spot.
"I think it is a concern," Haslett said. "Only Cie Grant can tell me where he's at. If I think it's (the injury) lingering too long and goes into next week, then we'll figure out another route to go or something to do with him. I'm not really sure what it is yet."
ROSTER MOVES: The Saints waived-injured wide receiver Germane Crowell Wednesday and signed cornerback Fred Booker, a former LSU standout who was released last week. Crowell is still hampered by a recurring knee injury.
RETURN FIRE: Joe Horn responded to Philadelphia wide receiver Terrell Owens' comment in the September issue of Playboy Magazine accusing the Saints receiver of being a touchdown celebration "copycat."
Speaking to WWL-AM radio reporter Kenny Wilkerson during a pre-recorded interview for the station's Friday-night pregame report, Horn said he was not trying to imitate Owens' Sharpie celebration when he pulled out a cell phone after scoring a touchdown against the New York Giants last season.
"I don't hate on T.O.," Horn said. "T.O. is T.O. I loved it when he pulled the Sharpie thing. A Sharpie and cell phone are a hundred ways different from each another. I don't see how a Sharpie can imitate a cell phone. I wasn't trying to outdo Terrell Owens."
Horn continues to insist that his stunt was an homage to his children, daughter Jhia, and son Joseph.
"I did that for my children," Horn said. "Let's get the record straight. I'm not player-hating on anybody. I love Terrell Owens. Don't come out (and say) . . . something if you don't know why I did it."
Horn declined comment Wednesday.
GLOVE STORY: Cornerback Fred Thomas credits a tip from defensive end Darren Howard for his increased interception totals. Thomas has intercepted nine passes the past two seasons after getting just one in his first six seasons.
Thomas blamed his early struggles on the gloves he wore during games. He said his habit of turning the bottom flap of the glove inside out prevented him from grasping passes when they hit his hand.
"I had the opportunities to get interceptions, but I dropped them all," Thomas said. "Darren Howard used to tease me about it, and the subject of the gloves came up. I would tuck my gloves inside out, and the (Velcro strap) was always in the palm of my hand. When the ball hit it, it would slip out. He suggested that I roll them another way, so I cut that piece out, and I haven't had any problems ever since."
BROOKS QUESTIONABLE: Haslett said starting quarterback Aaron Brooks is questionable for Friday night's preseason opener against the Jets at the Superdome. A decision won't be made on Brooks' playing status until Friday morning, Haslett said. Brooks has a strained quadriceps.
"If he's injured, and he can't move around and can't play, obviously, we're not going to put him out there," Haslett said.
SICK ROOK: Defensive end Will Smith missed practice Wednesday morning because of illness. The rookie first-round draft pick is expected to play Friday night.
"He's just sick," Haslett said. "It's that time of camp where you drink a lot of fluids. Everything you drink comes back up, and that's something you fight through. He's going to be OK."
BY THE NUMBERS: 13 -- Team-leading pass break-ups by cornerback Fakhir Brown in camp. Ashley Ambrose is second with 11.

Filed under: LA Auto Show, Hybrid, Sedan, Technology, Hatchback, Audi, BMW, Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Diesel
The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
This year's awards are a coup for gas-powered vehicles, as well. Both the Toyota Corolla and Mazda3 are finalists, with jurors citing the Mazda's i-ELOOP and Skyactiv technology, which allow the handsome car to net up to 41 mpg. The Corolla, meanwhile, offers a new Eco trim, which can return 42 mpg from its 1.8-liter, naturally aspirated, gas engine.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Rounding out this year's crop of finalists is the Honda Accord, which is available in gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants for the first time. The Accord Plug-In is capable of 115 mpge, while the Accord Hybrid returns 50 mpg in the city and 47 on the highway.
This is the first time in several years that the awards haven't been dominated by electrified vehicles of some ilk. 2013 was won by the Ford Fusion, and saw two other hybrids and three gas-powered cars. 2012, meanwhile, marked a victory for the natural-gas-powered Honda Civic, against two pure electrics, a hybrid and a diesel model. 2011 saw the excellent Chevrolet Volt crowned champion, beating out an EV, two hybrids and a gas-powered model.
This year's awards will be handed out at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. We'll be on hand, live in LA, for the awards. Until then, be sure to let us know what car you think deserves the crown in Comments. Scroll down for the official press release from Green Car Journal.

UPDATE Hermon Teen + Dale Earnhardt Jr. Make A Wish [VIDEO]
Back in 2010, Jeffrey Buzzell who lives in Hermon was a 15 year old, who had a terrible kidney disease and his kidney function was hovering around 18 percent and he desperately needed a kidney transplant. The Make A Wish Foundation granted Jeffrey's wish to meet Dale Earnhardt Jr.
As you can see, Jeffrey found out his wish was to be granted at Blackbeard's, a go kart track in Bangor. Junior invited Jeffrey and his family to come down to Charlotte and go go kart racing at Junior's home, and then surprised him further by inviting him to the All Star Race and making him an honorary crew member.
Fast forward four years! We are happy to tell you that Jeffrey had a kidney transplant on February 22, 2011 and feels fine now. He is going to school at Eastern Maine Community College, and studying business management, and will be graduating in May 2014. He currently works at the Hannaford store on Union Street in Bangor, and yes, Dale Earnhardt Junior is still his favorite driver!

If you too are starting to see the harsh signs of winter on your skin… then sit back and let me show you the cheap and cheerful products I am using to keep my skin in tip-top condition in the cooler months… and all products listed are under $35! THAT SHIT CRAY!
Blackmores Natural Vitamin E Cream (AU$9.95) is a rich moisturising cream that protects skin. It has no artificial colours or fragrances and contains vitamin E, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil and vitamin A. I slather this on my face when it needs an instant injection of moisture (you can even use it like a face mask if you don't like heavy creams left on your face) and I apply liberally onto my dry spots before going to bed (i.e. around my nose).
Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil (AU$19.95) is a natural skin oil that helps to improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, wrinkles and dry skin. A combination of potent active ingredients and 100% natural formula make it highly effective for other skin concerns including ageing skin, dehydration, and uneven skin tone. I swear by this product, I use it daily all throughout the year (not just winter). It helps to moisturise dry skin and contains essential fatty acids that are critical for skin health, but aren't able to be reproduced by our skin. The lipids found in Rosehip oil are similar to those found in your skin; therefore, it absorbs easily, leaving no oily residue. This is of particular importance to people who think applying an oil will give you oily skin… MUCH THE OPPOSITE. It actually helps to balance oil flow in the skin.
Sukin Botanical Hydration Booster* (AU$23.95), a 100% natural elixir, rich in argan oil and immortelle formulated to help improve skin elasticity and deliver bright, radiant skin. Great for an instant hydration boost when you have been travelling in dry air conditions or work in harsh air conditioning all day (ME!). Contains a lot of skin-loving essentials oils such as Jojoba Oil, Ylang Ylang and Argan Oil.
Sukin Hydrating Mist Toner (AU$9.95) an alcohol-free, skin hydrating mist combines German chamomile and rosewater to help soothe, tone and cool tired skin. Use after cleansing (I use it as a toner) or whenever your skin feels tired or stressed. Perfect for hot days, long flights or long days in an air-conditioned environment.
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Lotion (AU$7.99 / $10.99, 375mL / 750mL) contains rich cocoa butter to help even skin tone, while smoothing away roughness and penetrating deep into the skin where dryness starts. The specially formulated lotion is enriched with vitamin E and conditioning moisturisers to leave skin soft and supple, without leaving an oil slick all over your body. I love that this lotion instantly absorbs into the skin so you're not slipping and sliding around. Oh and the pump top is oh so convenient!
Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid (AU$15.95) is an ultra rich and creamy whipped lanolin lip treatment with organic lemon oil to naturally exfoliate, leaving lips fresh, soft and moist. The citric acid in the organic lemon oil acts as a natural exfoliator on dry, dead skin. I apply this to my lips before bed every night and wake up with soft, supple and non-scaly lips every morning. I don't think I could do without this wonder product in Winter. It is literally my lip lifesaver!
Baby Lips in NEW! Mango Pie (AU$3.95), a lip balm that gives 8 hour hydration and is super hydrating thanks to shea butter, centella and vitamin complex. And for those of you who don't know, centella is a herb that is an effective remedy for various ailments, one being skin conditions. Cheap and effective, GET ON THAT SHIZ! Mango Pie and the NY Fashion Week limited edition in Berry are both my favourites.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream (AU$34) is a light-textured cream giving 24-hour hydration, it helps to retain moisture within the skin, leaving skin feeling comfortable and well-balanced. The hero ingredients, Antarcticine and Imperata Cylindrica both have super hydrating properties to shield your skin from the harsh cold climate and to retain the moisture in your skin. I swear by this moisturiser. I recommend it for all skin types. Try it… trust me you won't be disappointed.
The whole idea is to be pumping in as much moisture into your skin over the cooler months to make sure that your skin stays plump and glowing. If you didn't know, essential fatty acids are key to keeping your skin and hair healthy, so as well as applying hydration and moisture onto your skin make sure to pop 2 – 4 Fish Oil capsules a day to maintain your body's omega 3 fatty acids.
So Hautees, any tips for maintaining healthy and hydrated skin throughout Winter? I would to hear your tips and product recommendations.

A new master's degree from Texas A&M International University's College of Nursing and Health Sciences will ready graduates for upper-level administration roles within the Nursing profession. The degree is approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
The Master of Science in Nursing Administration begins this Fall at the Dr. F. M. Canseco School of Nursing. Completion is possible in three years with a total of 36 semester hours.
Natalie Burkhalter, Canseco School of Nursing associate professor, said Nursing Administration is a high-demand area with diverse employment opportunities for qualified graduates.
"This master's degree truly empowers the nurse to make budgets, manage HR functions in healthcare settings and train staff. Graduates can work in labs, hospitals, nursing homes and other medical centers. Annual incomes average over $75,000 with other possible career benefits including bonuses, flexible working hours, and more," Burkhalter said.
Burkhalter said the Nurse Administrator often manages other nurses within a unit or department, coordinates nursing care of patients and manages resources for patient needs.
"For example, a Nurse Administrator can regularly assess staff's delivery of quality assurance standards, plan staffing schedules and budgets and recruit new nurses. In a hospital setting, they frequently liaison with hospital senior management and the nursing team. They are also keenly involved in policy development with other medical staff and are expected to create policies/protocol to govern the delivery of the expected standard of nursing care."
The TAMIU MSN-Nursing Administration degree includes theory and clinical hours. Courses include "Diversity and Social Issues in Health Care," "Healthcare Law," "Quality and Outcome Management," "Healthcare Financial Management" and "Health Care Laws and Ethics," among others. Graduates are also required to complete a Capstone Clinical Practicum.
TAMIU's program is fully accredited by the Texas Board of Nurse Examiners and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.

Jim C needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 95 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Vinculum Research
Vinculum Research is marketplace website where business/ equity analysts will sell their research about publicly traded companies to investors who need help or ideas on what to invest in.
The site will allow investors to buy these reports, comment on the them afterwards and rank and review the analysts.
One of the most important parts of this site is the credibility, integrity, and stability- there are a lot of other websites that sell reports, but are very shady and fly-by-night. As well, the logo may show some hints of fun and competitiveness.
Vinculum is latin for bond or glue or binding - the analysts are the glue who bind the investors and small public companies together. As well, Vinculum is the mathematical symbol that's a bar placed over a number to show that it repeats indefinitely. (see Wikipedia)
As stated above, as we are a platform who sells financial advice, the logo needs to convey trust, credibility, integrity and stability.
There are four stakeholders in this: investors, analysts, small public companies, and partners.
The investors are typically retail investors, usually male, in their 30s to 60s, who want to win in the stock market, so are somewhat to extremely competitive. They are looking for good ideas and analysis on where to put their money.
The analysts can be from anywhere, and are the bedrock of this company. They are freelance and need to be certain that they will find a lot of people who will buy their reports and give them good feedback. They are very analytical.
The small public companies are customers, but their cooperation would make writing reports on them easier.
The partners are typically brokerage houses, who will only associate themselves with credible websites.
The logo needs to convey trust, credibility, integrity and stability.
The logo must be of given in multiple sizes ranging from the very big to very small, must be given in color, black and white, and gray scale, and have a transparent background.
The file formats we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

After 85 years, the world's most famous movie theater will finally be living up to its name.
Chinese TV maker TCL has paid more than $5 million for the naming rights to the venerable Grauman's Chinese Theatre opened in 1927 by showman Sid Grauman.
The Hollywood Boulevard landmark will now be called the TCL Chinese Theatre, helping the Chinese company raise its profile. The theater is used almost weekly for red-carpet premieres, and draws nearly 4 million visitors a year.
"This is one of the landmarks of North America," said Hao Yi, vice president of TCL Group. "It can be a bridge to link the cultures of China and North America."

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – The King University softball was able to avenge a pair of losses earlier this week as they capped play at the Pioneer Classic with a 5-1 win over UVa-Wise. The Tornado rolled through the tournament with a 5-0 mark to improve their overall record back to .500.
Hannah Light tossed a perfect top of the first inning before the Tornado (7-7) jumped on the Cavaliers in the bottom of the frame. Chrissy Melcher started the inning with a single through the left side, and after an out Fallon Thomas ripped her second home run of the tournament, a bomb to right field to give King a 2-0 lead.
UVa-Wise (4-3) got one run back in the second inning in a groundout, but Light stranded runners on the corners.
The Tornado added on to their lead in the third inning as Samantha Cole started the frame with a double to left field. After advancing to third on a wild pitch, Melcher drove her in with a double to left field. Melcher later scored on a single up the middle to push King's lead to 4-1 after three innings. King added an insurance run in the fourth, and that was all Light need to earn her sixth win of the season.
The senior only allowed the one run on three hits, and struck out 10 in the complete game victory. Melcher went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and one run batted in to pace the Tornado offense. Thomas followed, going 2-for-4 and driving in three runs.
King opens Conference Carolinas play on Saturday when they travel to Erskine College. The doubleheader is scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m.

The overall goal of Jim McNamara's research is to provide a sound biological basis for understanding how the face normally grows and how facial growth can be altered by experimental and therapeutic intervention. His past research involved studies of both normal and experimental alterations in the growth of the facial region in a non-human primate, using the rhesus monkey as a model of human craniofacial development.
More recently, McNamara has focused on clinical studies of the effects of orthodontic, orthopedic and surgical interventions on the growth of the face. He also serves as curator of The University of Michigan Elementary and Secondary School Growth Study, one of the largest longitudinal studies of untreated individuals in the world. This unique collection allows the study of facial development from the early juvenile period to middle age in the same group of untreated subjects, providing a basis of comparison for ongoing clinical investigations. His chief collaborators are Tiziano Baccetti and Lorenzo Franchi from the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Florence.

Obama: Women still face outdated policies at work
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the economy hasn't caught up to the new reality that women now make up about half of the workforce.
Obama says in his weekly radio and Internet address that women earn about 77 cents for every dollar men earn. He says women face outdated policies that hold them back, and that hurts their families and the broader economy.
Obama is calling in Congress to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.
In the GOP address, Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan says there's an economic comeback in states led by Republican governors. He says it can happen nationally if the country follows their lead.

Editor's note: This is the last in a four-part series about agriculture and immigration reform.
MIDDLEBURY — When I asked Honorio how he got to the United States, he responded with one word.
"Corriendo," he said. Running.
Two and a half years ago, when most 17-year-olds in the United States were getting ready for the prom or searching for their first summer job, Honorio was trekking the Arizona desert alone, in search of a better life.
Editor's note: This is the third in a four-part series about agriculture and immigration reform.
MIDDLEBURY— More than 150 Mexican farm laborers on Saturday came to a mobile consulate event hosted by the Mexican government in Middlebury. For the event, diplomats from the Mexican consulate in Boston came to Vermont to help Mexican nationals in the area get passports and other government-issued documents.
Editor's note: This is the first in a two-part series on Vermont agriculture and immigration reform.
NEW HAVEN — Addison County dairy farmers talking last week with Congressman Peter Welch said a new immigration bill is vital to meeting their labor needs, as farms increasingly rely on immigrant workers.

2001 Ford F-150 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
New SuperCrew is best light-duty crew cab available.
The F-150 is available in every imaginable pickup truck configuration. Depending on what you want, it can be short or long, tall or low. It can act like a serious work truck, an off-road toy, or a luxurious everyday vehicle that doubles as a highly capable weekend tool. There's even a hot rod.
It comes in a myriad of bed lengths, two different body styles, and now three distinct cab configurations. This means the overall length and wheelbase can vary tremendously, the latter from 120 inches to 157.4 inches.
The newest variation is the SuperCrew, which features luxurious rear-seat accommodations and four full-size doors. Crew cabs have become the big fad in compact and mid-size trucks the past couple of years, but with the exception of the tried-and-true super-long heavy-duty models, this new full-size Ford crew cab is by far the most comfortable of the new trucks. Overall length is kept short by using an ultra-short bed that measures just 5 1/2 feet; though the bed is a compromise, it relieves the driver of the daily burden of maneuvering a pickup that's as long as an aircraft carrier. The SuperCrew is equipped like a luxury sport-utility, with power-adjustable pedals and optional moonroof, rear-seat entertainment system, and a handsome leather interior.
As for the rest of the 2001 F-150 line, power-adjustable pedals are standard on all Lariat models and optional on XL and XLT trim lines. Antilock brakes (ABS) are standard throughout the F-150 line, and remote keyless entry is now a standard feature on XLT models.
Three engines are available: The standard engine is a 4.2-liter V6 engine that generates 202 horsepower. The optional 4.6-liter V8 produces 220 horsepower. The 5.4-liter V8 produces 260 horsepower. There are 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions available.
Body styles include short and long cargo beds; Regular Cabs, SuperCab four-door extended cabs, and SuperCrew four-door crew cabs; flat (Styleside) and fendered (Flareside) bed styles. Two- and four-wheel drive models are available. And there are three trim levels: XL, XLT, and Lariat. With colors and options thrown in, the model matrix is huge.
The F-150 is a stylish truck, with much more attention paid to aerodynamic performance than either the Dodge or GM pickups. It is rounder, friendlier and looks much more like a car than the Dodge or GM. That may be part of the reason it outsells all other pickup trucks by a considerable margin. The current Chevrolet and GMC trucks are still pretty new (they were redesigned for the 1999 model year), but their conservative styling doesn't look as modern as the Ford's. The Dodge Ram looks long in the tooth, by comparison. The F-150's aerodynamic hood falls away very rapidly from the base of the windshield so it's easier to see what's immediately in front of the truck; that's handy for maneuvering off road, for parking, and when maneuvering in tight city traffic.
In some ways, the Ford F-150 interior is superior in flavor to the GM and Dodge trucks. The F-150 takes its interior design cues from the company's successful passenger cars, such as the Ford Taurus and Lincoln Continental. The designers adapted these cues to the pickup's large cab. The curves, surfaces, textures, instrumentation and graphics inside the Ford F-150 are more adventurous, more modern, and better executed than the competition, big and bold but not outsized for a big vehicle.
The F-150 XLT has dual air bags with a passenger-side deactivation switch. It comes with air conditioning, a back panel cover and rear storage tray, dual map lights, map pockets, an upper vinyl applique, courtesy lamps, color-keyed carpeting and headliner, complete instrumentation including a tachometer, an auxiliary 12-volt power point, power windows and locks, an electronic AM/FM stereo CD/cassette system with four speakers, cloth split bench seats with recliners, armrests, and manual lumbar support on the driver's side, speed control, tilt steering wheel, remote keyless entry, and speed-dependent interval windshield wipers.
Compared to full-sized cars, pickup trucks come with ample amounts of head, leg, hip and shoulder room. They offer a lot of interior space for the money. Even the F-150 XLT regular cab, which comes without the rear seats and without the extra rear doors, offers plenty of room to stretch out. The XLT's cloth seats have a recline feature and a lumbar support on the driver's side for even more driving comfort.
All pickups share another trait: a relatively high ride height, even on 2x4 models. That can be a blessing when you're trying to see out over the traffic ahead, but it's a curse when trying to load equipment into the bed, nor does it help when trying to go around corners. Bed heights on the two-wheel-drive models are three inches lower than on four-wheel-drive trucks (32 inches vs. 35 inches on the SuperCrew, for example), a huge difference when loading heavy items.
The 2001 SuperCrew Lariat we drove had handsome leather seating surfaces. Getting into and out of the rear seats was easy. The rear seats are comfortable and offer good legroom, allowing passengers to slide their feet under the front seats. Rear-seat comfort is such that and adult should be able to ride back there for longer trips.
SuperCrew's rear seats fold down (and are split 60/40), offering a nearly flat cargo space. It's a great place to put cargo or for big dogs. Small storage compartments behind the front seats add utility.
Driving Impression
Two-wheel-drive F-150s use conventional steel leaf springs at the rear and a coil spring independent front suspension. This yields a pretty solid ride when it's unloaded, but quite a good ride when you're hauling a refrigerator over bad pavement.
The 4X4 versions use a torsion bar front suspension.
Power steering is over-assisted to make it easier to park and maneuver in tight quarters. We find the brakes on Ford trucks to be average in stopping power and average in fade characteristics.
Although the optional 4.6-liter V8 engine is rated at 220 horsepower and 290 foot-pounds of torque, we don't think it's as good a performer in many respects as the small V8 engines from GM and Dodge. It's a good, solid engine, with millions of examples on the road, and it sounds good at full throttle, but we find it a little duff for all-around street use, and we would certainly find it wanting if we had to haul anything heavy or tow a trailer up a mountain road. For any customer contemplating those kinds of duties, the 5.4-liter V8 engine is a much better choice.
Ford's F-150 is still among the most car-like of the full-size pickup trucks, with slick looks, pleasing performance, a comfortable cabin, and a proven powertrain.
Ford's new F-150 SuperCrew is the most comfortable of the light-duty crew cabs currently available.

L.A.'s new mayor and new film czar are grabbing headlines all over California with a stepped-up campaign to persuade lawmakers to give more tax incentives to movie and TV companies, which have been leaving for more generous states and taking thousands of jobs with them.
This is good and bad. Good because the issue of runaway production needs attention. Bad because too much of the attention is going to the efforts of Eric Garcetti, the mayor, and Tom Sherak, the studio executive now serving as director of the Mayor's Entertainment Industry and Production Office.
The more this is seen to be about the hip young big-city mayor and the Hollywood big shot, the more ammunition it hands to opponents — such as The Sacramento Bee's editorial board, which warned a few days ago that state legislators may "swoon" in the presence of the "glitterati" and too eagerly sign off on "Tinseltown tax breaks."
While Garcetti is to be applauded for making the strength of the Southern California entertainment industry a top issue, the focus of this campaign must quickly move beyond political and industry leaders and stars.
The focus needs to be on the Southern California workers who depend on movie and TV production for their livings. Entertainment is said to account for a half-million jobs in Los Angeles County. By a count late last year, runaway production has cost 90,000 jobs and $3 billion in wages in the past decade.
The local loss of production includes head-turners like "The Tonight Show's" planned move from Burbank to New York when Jimmy Fallon takes over from Jay Leno. One of New York's production tax credits seemed designed specifically to lure "Tonight."
California's $100 million a year in production tax credits is a fraction of New York's. The push is on to raise that amount and expand the qualifications to include more blockbuster films.
The argument against film and TV tax credits is that many industries need help, that lawmakers shouldn't pick winners. But this isn't picking winners, it's helping an industry that long ago picked sunny Southern California for its home, and helping the tens of thousands of people here who have come to rely on this vital industry — and associated industries — for their livelihoods.
Sacramento needs to see and hear from them and realize this isn't about the glitterati.

First of all, let me say: Love the new James Bond movie, "Skyfall." Love D-Craig as a bitter, narcissistic, outdated, substance-abusing Bond. Love Bardem as the villain. Love the babes, especially some woman named Berenice Marlohe who I'm going to leave the future Mrs. Markley for. Love stuff blowing up.
And let's face it, the only measure of a good Bond movie is a pretty simple equation of babes + villain x car chases. Who cares what it's about?
Nevertheless, in watching "Skyfall" I kept getting this weird feeling that I'd seen almost every component of it in several other films, which led me to think that the screenplay to "Skyfall" was the product of some kind of crowdsourcing. I've definitely identified two components for sure, but I'd love to hear from anyone who picked up on others.
[Warning: spoilers ahead, but, I mean, it's a Bond flick, so what do you care? How is it possible to spoil it? If I tell you the helicopter crashes into the house at the end, will you really be surprised? Would you watch the helicopter come onscreen after seeing James Bond find some dynamite that he doesn't know how to use in this particular situation and not say to yourself, "Oh, he's going to set that dynamite on some propane tanks to blow up the house and send rubble spewing into the blades of the helicopter." Would you really not?]
First of all, instead of the secret Russian satellite program as I expected, Skyfall turns out to be the childhood estate of one James Bond where apparently his parents were killed. Therefore, Skyfall is simultaneously his Rosebud and his creation myth.
Oh, and were we talking about creation myths? Because rich, dead parents are not the only thing he has in common with Batman. Javier Bardem's villain (Mr. Silver or something—who was paying that much attention) is basically like a gay version of Heath Ledger's Joker. Don't get me wrong, I totally loved it, but he even has the grotesque facial injury.
This plays into the plot when Silver purposefully allows himself to be apprehended and then has like a 27-point escape plan that includes Joker-esque near-psychic forward-thinking. Does this sound familiar at all? It's like the "Skyfall" screenwriters just cribbed the entire second act of "The Dark Knight."
Oh, and the bio-metrically enabled gun that can only fire when the hero is holding it? Ever seen a little Sly Stallone/ Rob Schneider classic called "Judge Dredd"!
Then there are other elements that I know I've seen elsewhere while not quite being able to pinpoint a specific film. The low-tech showdown in a run-down old mansion with booby-trapped floorboards and light fixtures? The avuncular landlord played by Albert Finny guarding that estate with a shotgun? The komodo dragons eating an Asian bad guy? Shit! I know that's happened in something I've seen (Maybe "Lincoln"?).
Help me out, movie people. Let's reconstruct the entire "Skyfall" screenplay based on what its writers borrowed from other movies.

new website.
I started a new website! It's still bare bones, but I'll probably get there one day. Right? Anyway, check it out here!
I started a new website! It's still bare bones, but I'll probably get there one day. Right? Anyway, check it out here!
It's about time, right? I'm creating a bunch of new product (COLOR!), designing a brand new website and feeling like a million bucks. I'm shooting for early May for the launch, but hoping to make that happen sooner. Patience is a virtue I do not have, but I'm working on it.
Let's get this party started! The 10th anniversary of the Detroit Urban Craft Fair starts tonight! Come say hi!
Hey there. So, yeah, it's been a minute. I'm starting to get my act together. Sorta. The biggest change around here is that I started drawing again. Turns out, the peoples seem to like it. I'll be selling my new birch rounds (and prints!) at the Detroit Urban Craft Fair. If you're local, you can RSVP here. There will be a whole bunch of awesomeness. After the fair, I plan to open an online shop. I know some of my virtual friends have been asking, and I thank you for your patience. This is all long overdue, but I'm getting there.
You can follow my progress on Instagram. You can also view more of my birch rounds in my portfolio.
He's two! Man, it's true that they grow up fast. Those grownups weren't lying. I didn't think Laura and I were going to be able to top last year, but what you are about to see is sweet, sweet victory. I am so pleased with how this party turned out. It's adorable, fun and has the greatest pops of color. Laura's home has the perfect, neutral palette to really let the decor shine.
These hats were really fun to make. We used this template again from Oh Happy Day and I just randomly hand-cut the spikes for a little extra fun.
Aren't you just dying over how cute these dinosaurs look in handmade party hats? I am.
Laura glued plastic dinosaurs to the top of baby food jars and spray painted them in orange, teal and lime to match the party. We filled them with "dinosaur eggs" and each guest took one home along with a bag of dinosaur cookies. Adorable and yummy, a great combination.
I love the way my dino illustrations look cutout. They brought the party to this mantle for sure.
I have to be honest, I really had no idea that those "prehistoric rocks" were edible. Laura's Mom started to eat some and I instantly freaked out that she was going to choke. Turns out, they're chocolate. Hilarious.
The cake was made at a local bakery to match the invite I designed. And those adorable dinosaur cookies were made by Laura and her mom. They are becoming cookie decorating professionals.
I think what really made the party extra special this year was Samuel. He understood what was happening more than last year and was so excited when he entered the room. He kept saying, "I got ba-woons" and "I feed T-Rex". It melted my heart.
So, what do you think? You want to have a dinosaur party now, don't you? I thought so.
These dinosaurs are ready to party. Next Saturday, my friend Laura's son, Samuel, will turn 2. We are celebrating in style. This is just a taste of how cool this party is going to be. Last year, we decked out his first birthday with an adorable woodland theme. I have to be honest, I didn't think we could top it, but how freakin' cute are these dinosaurs in hats? The answer is VERY. I had so much fun creating the T-Rex illustration and the invites (top image).
Get excited. This party is going to be awesome. I'll share the entire party next week. Yay!
So, it happened. I entered my 30s this past Friday. The truth is that I'm OK with it. When I turned 29, I had a moment of panic. How could it be possible that my next birthday would be my 30th? As if I were timeless or something. However, as the year progressed, I became more and more comfortable with with the idea. I mean, it's not like I have a choice, right? We all age. Obviously. I would take this age over being 20 any day. The amount of insecurities I felt at that time were ridiculous. It's not as if all of a sudden I have none, but everyday, I feel more and more confident in the person I am. It's nice. Bring it on 30. I'm ready for you. I truly believe it's only going to get better.
Black & white image found here. Design by me.
Hello, you. I decided to start a new column. It's called "make this". Yay.
The details are simple. I'm not a chef and barely even a cook, but I have a new found love for being in the kitchen and decided if I found/created a recipe I like, than certainly you can make it, too.
Today's recipe is majorly basic and I'm probably late to the party, but are you putting cardamom in your coffee? No!? Well, tomorrow morning, do yourself a favor and try it. I'm addicted. You'll have to use some trial and error to figure out how much you like, but for myself, I found that the more I use the better it tastes.
There is a legit recommendation of how much to use here.
Happy drinking!
It seems I'm late to the party. Everyone was posting their reflections and resolutions yesterday. But hey, I've always preferred to be fashionable.
So, let's get down to business, shall we? Here are some goals (in no particular order):
1. Coffee. Write. A Page a day. Get dressed. I suppose some explanation is required here. Basically, I need more structure. Now that I am only working (in an office) a few times a week, I often have trouble getting the day started. So, this is my new plan... I will write every morning. First thing. The idea is simply to write whatever comes to mind. Next, I will do my #apageaday2013 "drawing". I will fill one page (of this gorgeous notebook) with a drawing, pattern, doodle, whatever. I just want to spend some quality pen-to-paper time and step away from the computer. Lastly, get dressed. This is obvious, but I say it because I often spend the day in my PJs. Sometimes, I change into daytime PJs (which turn into nighttime PJs) and I want to stop doing so. I think the simple act of getting dressed will help get my day started.
(Note: You can follow my #apageaday2013 journey on instagram here.)
2. Replace bedtime TV with reading. I already started! I'm currently reading this and so far so good.
3. Blog. Last year, I started worrying too much about blogging everyday and having a specific schedule. Well, that clearly didn't work out. This year, I simply want to care about the content. Quality over quantity.
4. Put myself out there. I quit my job in 2012 and I need to continue to build my freelance clients. Part of the reason I love Detroit so much is that if you want to be a part of something, you can be a part of it. There's no "it list". I want to become a bigger part of this community and collaborate and create.
5. Finish my online portfolio. Because frankly, it's quite ridiculous that it's not done already.
6. Open my Etsy shop. I have ideas people and in 2013, they will be brought to life. I also want to be a part of this. I can do it!
7. Cook and bake. I started doing this quite a bit (for me anyway) at the end of last year. I want to continue to learn and try new things. I also want to share this new found love with friends and family. I'm starting this weekend with my first official dinner party.
8. Start a record collection. Simply because I've always wanted to and because it's more romantic to listen to records.
But really, I just plan to take it day by day and try not to be so hard on myself if each one isn't perfect.
Hello, 2013.
The Heidelberg Project is a hidden gem in Detroit. Well, it's not exactly hidden, but it's definitely off the beaten path. A few weeks back, my friend had a visitor from Greece/Germany who wanted to see it. I was more than happy to take him. I have been a handful of times, but it had been years since my last visit. It's always nice to rediscover something in your own city.
You can read all about what The Heidelberg Project is here and if you ever visit Detroit, make sure you pay it a visit. There's nothing else quite like it.
