Carla Speed McNeil has been self publishing beautiful, intelligent comics for the best part of 13 years. Making her debut in 1996, her ongoing 'aboriginal sci-fi' series Finder has gone from strength to strength since its inception, attracting much praise from fellow creators, fans and critics alike.
Finder is a striking piece of work, one which succeeds in sculpting sprawling, densely populated worlds, replete with their own distinct technologies, peoples and politics. Covering a myriad of topics from the tribal to the technological, Finder seamlessly marries the shamanic with the modern, fusing the traditions of the past with the futuristic urban sprawl of speculative science fiction.
I caught up with Finder creator Carla Speed McNeil to discus her latest book Five Crazy Women and the wider Finder universe.
For the benefit of our readers who may not be familiar with your work, could you give us a very brief synopsis of what Finder is all about?
I like to say it's an aboriginal detective story, in that the series' usual hero, Jaeger, is a sort of half-Indian scout. Scouts were the ninja of the Native Americans. Finder is set in a science-fiction world where I can pile all the speculative ideas I get on top of a framework that allows me to make up things as I go, so if I want to set a horrible kidnapping story gone wrong in a domed city with piles of virtual reality and talking dinosaurs, I can do it.
You recently made the transition form publishing separate issues of Finder to online publishing. The majority of your new book 'Five Crazy Women' was posted online and subsequently released as a trade paperback. What motivated this change and how has it worked out so far?
I was content to keep on printing the issues as long as they made their money back and sold a few more with each successive issue. As long as even ten people more bought the book each time it came out, I was willing to keep on making it for those people. Somewhere around issue thirty sales went flat, and stayed flat; clearly they were not reaching new people anymore. I thought of the issues as advertising: if I could give them away at conventions and send stacks of them to shops, that was better advertising than single images in magazines. It worked-- for a while.
The internet works better.
Now that I'm off the treadmill of the recurring deadline, hey! I have time to write a whole script! I have time to figure out where the story is going-- and even to wrack my brains to make it go a different direction! I know I'm giving the readers better books now.
With Diamond now carrying fewer small press books, it seems to me that it's becoming harder and harder for independent publishers to get their comics into stores. Do you feel that online publishing, backed up by printed collections, may eventually become the norm?
It will become A norm. New approaches will arise more easily if more people are working at it, and as the water dries up, new land bridges may form.
Let's face it, most of us did loads of work for nothing more than feedback. Though it can be quite a pitfall, feedback is one thing the internet does provide plentifully.
Your new book, 'Five Crazy Women' is the eighth book in the Finder series and represents a further exploration of the themes you touched upon in an earlier issue entitled 'Beware of Dog'. Sex, relationships and desire sit centre stage in this book, with Jaeger experiencing all manner of strangeness as the reader becomes better acquainted with the female cast of 'Five Crazy Women'. Through the various characters you cover all manner of sexual fetishes and behaviours. What inspired you to explore such sexual territory in Finder?
It's as close as I could get to doing a light romantic comedy. For which I am truly sorry.
I'm always struck by the way you filter experiences and themes through your characters. In 'Five Crazy Women', each character seems to present the reader with a different slant on the same subject matter. You cover some fairly divergent sexual preferences but always maintain a very balanced tone. I get the impression you're far more concerned with exploring the 'human' element of things, getting to the heart of what makes people tick, rather than passing judgement on peoples' habits and lifestyles. Would this be a fair assessment?
I often forget writer's intent. I was glued to the screen watching THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE, which is all about protesting the death penalty, and it never even occurred to me that the writer of the screenplay might actually have intended the story to play some part in actually protesting the death penalty... Ehhh... well, it was such a well-played story, I was so caught up in the intent of the CHARACTERS that the preachiness of the film went so far over my head it left a contrail. Same with DOUBT, which is far more a morality play than an actual historical, but it took conversation with a friend and colleague to make me see that side of it. He was right, but for me the story's the thing, and the story's the people.
In science fiction, quite often the story's in the idea. The new widget or whoopdedoo or discovery takes center stage, and the only reason to have characters is to show off the idea, point by point. These characters are often quite flat and unmemorable. I loves me some Asimov, but I swear, I cannot name a single Asimov character. Clarke was better at it, but right this second I can't think of a single Clarke character's name besides David Bowman and HAL 9000.
For me the point of the widget or palmpilot or crackberry is the impact it has on the people. The people who invented it, who figured out how to sell it, who use it, and in what way... cell phones have changed the way cops pursue crime, the way families keep track of one another, the way people who still cook their food over dung fires in India manage their villages, the way detective fiction gets written. One really very simple invention and its proliferation into ubiquity has had a profound change on people, and its inventor's heritage leads backwards in some crazy directions, back to and including forties glamour queen Hedy Lamarr, who invented frequency hopping.
Yes, I could go on about this a long, long time.
I have to ask, that scene with Genie… you know the one I mean, with the nappy and the horrible mess that ensues. What possessed you to take that particular angle? I doubt many of your readers saw that one coming!
Ehhh... it takes a lot to shock Jaeger?
Seriously, Genie was funny and cute and energetic and I liked her a lot, and I could not think of a single thing that would get him out of her bed and her life, and TA DAA, internet to the rescue. He's accustomed to the fact that people do all kinds of crazy things, and he's inclined to nod and smile, but whoa. All you folks out there, think of the nastiest, harshest, most OH GOD NO thing festering in the back of your head, and consider: somebody out there is completely bored with that, and has drifted away from a message board or two devoted entirely to that thing. And to those people, the ones who are bored with the insane thing: let some air into the house from time to time. Please. Recognize that that horrible thing may be old hat to you, but to many people, it is... not a hat they will ever want to put anywhere near their heads. Fly yo' freak flag, folks, go ahead on, I do; but recognize that that thing you like is WEIRD, and motor on.
I got the idea from a horrible baby device. It's a trash can with a hole in the lid and a really, really long plastic can liner. You drop soiled diapers in through the hole in the lid. You spin the lid to seal off the bomb you dropped in. When the liner is filled with twisted-up poo bombs, you tie it off and extract from the trash can what can only be described as the most horrible link sausage in the whole history of mankind. Off to the landfill, to preserve its contents no doubt for millennia.
This pinnacle of human ingenuity is called a Diaper Genie, and it left a nastier mark on my psyche than the adult baby sites.
Damn it, Phil Foglio TOLD me not to use that joke, that I'd end up talking about it forever, and he was right...
As in real life, everyone in the book has their own little quirks. I particularly enjoyed the way you flip certain conventions on their head. Jaeger's own personal habits and tribal traditions don't always seem to make sense in the city. Are his habits and traditions based on real world examples or experiences?
What, mine? No. Friends of mine? OH HEAVENS NO, I WOULD NEVER INTRUDE UPON MY FRIENDS' PRIVACY. I get it all out of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
Jaeger seems to maintain a precarious balance between his time spent in the wilderness and his time spent in the city. He doesn't seem to be able to spend too long in a city without getting sick. In your liner notes for Finder: Sin Eater you mention that Jaeger becomes sick if he 'takes it too easy'.
He would say that he's like a shark, which, if it stops swimming, it will drown. Except sharks don't actually drown if they stop swimming, and he really doesn't know how his body works either. Frankly, he doesn't want to know. He's afraid he'll find out that he's really a construct, like a lot of the animal-headed people in the city. If that were true, he really would be a citizen of nowhere, since constructs that can pass for human are illegal.
Jaeger needs to periodically subject himself to some sort of physical shock in order to prevent the onset of this sickness. In 'Five Crazy Women' this takes the form of a brutal self inflicted bloodletting. During this scene, I couldn't help but think that Jaeger was physically purging the negative elements of the city. It's as if he'd absorbed all the filth, grime and decadence of the city. Is Jaeger's sickness a comment on city life? A case of rural existence vs. city living?
That's certainly how HE sees it. Of course, he's done it to mark the end of time spent living among nomadic hunter-gatherers, too. I hope to show him doing more of what he prefers to do-- dig things up. He spends much of his time with archaeologists and salvage merchants, and I haven't shown the readers much of that.
With Finder, I always feel like I'm steeping into a world as culturally rich and diverse as our own. You seem to have every detail sketched out in your head, from social structures right down to the way the phones work. The environments in your books seem to be just as important as the characters that inhabit them. Do you spend a lot of time developing the locations in Finder or is it something that evolves naturally as you go along?
Most of us view nature as a picture framed by a window-- something pretty that we look at from inside. Like a fantasy, we can go into that picture, but most of us go out and back. We don't live in nature. We live in our homes, in spaces we've decorated if not created. Manmade environments all have something to say about the people who made them and the people who choose to live in them. Environment is very much a reflection of character in visual storytelling. When I'm creating a character, or embellishing one, I always envision where they are: where would they be most comfortable, what is 'their' place? Where would they be most UNcomfortable? Which placement makes the better story? Where people live is just as fascinating to me as how they live.
There's some gorgeous art in 'Five Crazy Women'. I'm not an artist myself but I can imagine some of the fine line work took absolutely ages. You suffered some health problems whilst doing this book and you seem to have really pushed yourself to meet deadlines. Was this a particularly hard book to complete?
Oh, the carpal tunnel thing? That had been coming for a long time. All that crosshatching probably didn't help, but having two kids didn't help either-- according to the docs, carpal frequently manifests in pregnancy. With most women, it goes away untreated. Mine didn't. But its okay, got it fixed, never looked back. Anybody who needs their fingers to make a living, listen up: if you've got tingling and numbness in your fingers, DON'T WAIT. Go get it looked at. It may be nothing. But if it isn't, nerve death is nerve death. They don't grow back.
I've always thought there was something deeply sensual about the way you draw people. You seem to have a keen appreciation of the male and female form and there's a beauty to your female characters I very rarely see in comics. They're sexy without pandering to typical stereotypes. How do you go about designing your characters? Is there a particular aesthetic you're aiming for?
Ehhh... me watch butts? Boy butts, girl butts, bring on th' badonka-donks.
No, I appreciate bodies in motion. I can't keep track of athletes' names to save my life, but I'm riveted to the Olympics every four years. Swimmers, gymnasts, skiers, skaters. I am just barely enough of an athlete to feel how hard they work and how grueling their lives are and how ecstatic their performances can be. And I pick up sketchbooks by Rodolphe Guenoden, an animator and kung fu aficionado, and Jaime Hernandez' Angel Of Tarzana stories, and I get quite a vicarious charge out of the energy and vigor of their drawings.
Capturing that life in all characters, not just the ones who think just as well upside down as right-side-up, is what I hope to do and what I don't think I've ever achieved, but I'm glad they look alive and pretty and sexy to people besides me.
How do I go about designing characters.... now, that really IS a long blather. That's the fun part, I can do that all day. I can talk about it all day. I have a pile of drawings right now, talking about just that, that I may try to whomp into some kind of sketchbook or minicomic. I meant to, for NYCC, and it just wasn't gonna happen.
Okay... when I am, for example, working with a writer, and I have no preconceived idea for a character, I have to feel out the writer's ideas. I usually ask them to start with an actor or actress. Which actor? Modern or yesteryear? Early career or late? In what movie, or even what scene? What impression did that actor make on you that you want me to capture? How do you want me to change him or her-- do you want an old Jimmy Stewart, or a young Louise Brooks, or Paris Hilton with leprosy of the eyeballs or something even more out there? We start there, and make adjustments. I've got a rogue's gallery of male and female faces that I've doodled up over time, and I often send those to writers to give them a catalogue of potential actors to thumb through, and say "That. But, you know. Different. Different hair?"
It's all according to the impression the character should make. I often design characters in a very cartoony style. I call 'em weebles, manga aficionados would call them chibis. I find that if the character works at a very small size and simple style, if he or she is recognizable with a bare minimum of detail, then he or she will be recognizable as a fully detailed drawing or anywhere in between. The clothes a character would wear have to be considered, and last I do a 'portrait' drawing: the character's story, or at least his or her situation, in a nutshell, as best I can. I try to think Norman Rockwell. Groan if you will, because he's so sentimental and twee, but he was very good at encapsulating a narrative in a single image. And he did some fascinating framing...
You've worked with a number of other creators, providing art for books like 'Queen and Country' and more recently 'Frank Ironwine' by Warren Ellis. How does your approach differ when you're working from other peoples' scripts?
Depends on how visual the writer is. Warren Ellis knows exactly what he wants, and he is always very aware of an artist's strengths and weaknesses. He wants you for what you can do. Do it. He'll do everything else. Greg Rucka also knows just what he wants, but Greg claims to be not very visual. He wants the artist to come up with his or her own panel compositions to increase impact of a scene, but he never overloads a page with too many panels or word balloons, so he knows what he's doing. Jim Ottaviani does thumbnail breakdowns of his pages, so his pages always work-- though, like most good writers, he's up for whatever you come up with that might make the scene better. Every writer's different.
Oh, you mean how is it different from what I produce for myself? Good god. There's no comparison. My scripts are just screeds of dialogue with notes on location jotted in the margins and slashes to indicate how many word balloons go into any given panel. My scripts are usually written longhand. Nobody could work from what I call a Finder script but me.
Oni Press are currently publishing a series called 'Wasteland' by Anthony Johnston and Christopher Mitten. You did art for a one off issue last year. Can I ask how that collaboration came about and what drew you to the series?
Oh, Antony and I have meant to work on something together for years. Haven't heard from him in a while. I'll have to dig him up. Set up a tiger trap baited with a fancy black hat or something.
WASTELAND was a natural for me, being speculative fiction set in a post-apocalyptic Old West. Antony and I are more interested in the more distant aftermath of society's overturn. Not just what happens while the fires are still burning, but what people come up with once they get used to the rubble and rearrange it to suit themselves. Chris Mitten's done a terrific job giving the series its air of old-and-new together.
Have you ever considered writing another series in addition to Finder or would that simply be too much to take on in addition to your already sizeable workload?
Don't know yet. I've written full (intelligible) scripts. I wrote a short story for Ivan Brandon's second NYC MECH 24SEVEN book, drawn by Bruno DAngelo and Diego Sanches. They made it gorgeous, so I must have given them enough to go on. After spending so much time trying to create a world into which I could stuff every idea I liked, it's hard to extract new ideas from the framework of Finder to see what new framework could be built to house them. But I've been so much more focused on writing since I went web-only, it's probably a good time to be thinking about it.
I've always felt Finder deserved more recognition than it currently receives. Are there any artists or creators you feel deserve more attention?
Most of us have plenty of attention. What we need is a little more money.
I mean, how can I say that Steve Rude is one of the greatest anatomists of our day, when nobody outside of comics knows who he is? Or that Raina Telgemeier is brilliant but obscure when she and Dave Roman are doing an X-MEN book for Del Rey Manga? Or Dylan Meconis, who does hella good comics but is making major money showing businessmen how to communicate something memorable? Phil Foglio is a pure entertainer, so why ain't there little wind-up Agatha Heterodyne dirigibles at Mickey D's? They all deserve more attention in different ways, they're all obscure in different ways.
Oh, okay, fine. Vasilis Lolos did a beautifully atmospheric strange little fantasy set on a moving train called LAST CALL: if you love Hayao Miyazaki you'll love his book. Oni Press. Kate Beaton (www.katebeaton.com) is just FUNNY. I'm not funny, best I can do is witty. Kate Beaton does strip-style history comics, does for history factoids what Schoolhouse Rock used to do: makes 'em so you'll remember them. Nina Paley has made a full-length movie, SITA SINGS THE BLUES, about getting dumped IN INDIA. Only at film festivals so far, an inspired depiction of characters from the RAMAYANA juxtaposed with torch songs, some hella funny shadow puppet narration, and a personal memoir thrown in for good measure. Has plenty to say about love and mythology, and it's pretty pretty pretty. And Nina did it all herself. It's a tiny bit like watching the best thing you've ever seen on YouTube, except it's not over in six minutes and the camera doesn't shake. That is to say, it's very personal, very idiosyncratic, and very funny-- with lots of handmade animation.
Your new book 'Voice' seems to be pretty much in the can. When can we expect to see that in print? Can I coax you into giving us any titbits on what we might see in future Finder books?
Don't know when VOICE will see print yet; I hope no later than the fall. VOICE is a kind of prequel to the Big Backstory, which has begun on my site with TORCH. I've sifted though all the biggest questions people have asked me over the years, threw in some new ideas, and shook it all up, and lo, there was enough to pick apart into a story. A big one, anything from three to seven books, which I hope will explain where and when the events of Finder are taking place, who Jaeger is and where he came from and where he's going, how all the oddball clans came to exist and why they're all so different, and what 'happened' to the world, the nature of its not-so-recent apocalypse.
TORCH starts with another half-native kid named Jack, who will find an ad for a correspondance course which is a whole lot like the Famous Artists course, you know, DRAW TIPPY. Except the one he's found is for engineers, and it will set him on the path to becoming an engineering wizard. It will also set him up to see just how bizarre the world in which he lives is, and start asking the right questions about why it doesn't work.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this interview. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Everybody out there, make some minicomics. Minis are the best calling cards. Those are the baseline of comics. After the zombie apocalypse we can still pedal the bamboo bicycle to power the Xerox machine, and comics will live.

Re: Macro recursion causes VS to die
Ok, so I know this is my fault for it coming up -- but it was by accident, honest! (:
Whilst recording a macro (named 'a'), I accidentally included the keystrokes '@a'. So when I had finally pressed 'q' and then tried to play the macro, VS consumed 100% cpu, locked up. Had to kill it and lose what I hadn't saved (not much, since I'm a nervous saver!).
Now, I notice that I can do the same in VIM -- the only difference being that ctrl-c in VIM stops the macro execution. I can't get out of the tight loop in ViEmu. Whilst the recursion was an error on my part, I can see where it might be useful to have some kind of recursion -- for example, doing something a large number of times where the user hasn't figured out exactly how many times to do it, but will rather just watch until it is done. Of course, this requirement would imply a requirement for a break key.
So, there are 3 strategies that I can see to cope with this:
1) Don't allow calling macros from within macros -- not ideal and probably inconvenient for someone
2) Don't allow a macro to call itself -- probably not that inconvenient, but how to you guard against macro a which calls b which calls c which calls a? You'd need to maintain some kind of call stack and traverse upwards at every macro call to check for circular references. Ouch.
3) Simpler, but introduces (perhaps) a slowdown in chained macros: accept a break key (something like a ctrl-C) and check for the break key having been pressed before entering any macro. This would also imply not taking over the event loop from VS -- I'm not sure how close ViEmu is tied into that.

No Ordinary Funeral
Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National
Director of Priests for Life, called upon all of the nation's Catholic
priests today to offer a Mass within the next few days for the "Hodari
babies," a group of aborted children who were discovered over the last
two months in the trash dumpster at Woman Care abortion clinic on
Southfield Road in Lathrup Villlage, Michigan. Through the efforts of
Citizens for a Pro-life Society, there will be a funeral Mass celebrated
this Saturday, May 3, by Bishop John Quinn of Detroit, and the babies
will then be buried.
"This is not the first time that my friend Monica
Miller has organized such a work of mercy for discarded children like
this," Fr. Pavone stated. "Her work spans the last couple of decades,
and it has been my honor to participate with her in similar funeral
services in the past."
"This Saturday's service is no ordinary funeral.
There are still too many of our fellow citizens who don't even
acknowledge that the people who will be buried this Saturday are people
at all. To mourn their deaths publicly, therefore, is not just to honor
them, but to sound a wake-up call to our nation that we are living
amidst the biggest holocaust of all time. That is why I call upon my
brother priests nationwide to bring to the attention of their
congregations this weekend that children are being buried who were
brutally, legally killed, and that the killing has to end," Fr. Pavone
Priests for Life has posted photos of some of the
babies who will be buried. See
www.priestsforlife.org/images. For more info, see
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic
pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more

A person is expected to be responsible for his or her behavior at all time. Conduct that is in violation of the state, county and municipal laws or ordinances or the university regulations relating to the use of illegal drugs may involve the individual in student conduct procedures regardless of the action that may be taken by civil authorities. Changes in Wisconsin state law and/or in local ordinances may require changes to this policy.
Unlawful behavior or misconduct
Use of illegal, synthetic or counterfeit drugs or misuse of prescription drugs is not permissible as an excuse for unlawful behavior or misconduct.

- Use of illegal, synthetic or counterfeit drugs and/or prescription medication not prescribed to the individual

Student Conduct Process
Students in alleged violation of the policy will be subject to the student conduct process. If during the conduct hearing sufficient information is provided for a finding of responsibility, the student conduct administrator will administer a brief drug use screening. Based on the responses to the screening tool, students may be mandated to complete a drug assessment with the substance abuse counselor, or other educational outcome(s). Drug assessments are not stand-alone sanctions, but they supplement additional educational sanctions levied by the student conduct administrator.
Sanctions for Drug Policy Violations
Marquette has established clear and specific minimum sanctions that result from violations of this policy. The sanctions are applied consistently and fairly. In every case in which the student has violated the drug policy, the sanctions will consist of a sanctioning level (probation, suspension, expulsion), an appropriate substance use intervention and a monetary fine. The following are minimum sanctions that correspond to various levels of severity and may result from a failure to follow the drug policy:
|1st Offense
|2nd Offense
|Category A
|$100 and University
|$200 and Suspension
|Category B
|$200 and University
|$300 and Suspension
|Category C
Depending on the specifics of the cases, the following may also be assigned:
- Random drug testing

I was dx with my syrinx sometime around 10 years ago. At that time, I went to the Chiari Institute for advice. My syrinx is not due to CM, it is due to a car accident. I was told without further trauma, it is so small it would be unlikely to result in paralysis, which was my biggest fear. At that point I kind of quit researching and tried to forget about it.
I'm now 34 and I feel like I'm 90. I stay hot all the time and often run fevers. My neck and back have what feels like the worse sunburn-like pain you can imagine. I just want to sleep all day and struggle to get out of bed. I have a headache 24/7. I recently lost 130 pounds through weight loss surgery hoping that would help me feel better, but it did nothing. I've had test after test and nothing can be found. If I feel this way at 34, I'm terrified of what I'll feel like later on.
Anyway, I don't know why but it just dawned on me that all of these symptoms could be due to the syrinx?? I've just blocked it out of my mind so long because I'm so afraid of it. Thoughts? Do you guys have similar issues?

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: New England's Connecticut Valley farmers began growing tobacco under tents in about 1901, using a variety of Cuban tobacco. High tariffs protected American tobacco from competition with Cuban and Sumatran tobacco. This resulted in a tobacco boom between 1890 and 1914. Connecticut Valley shade tobacco became the highest-priced leaf in the country, and remains highly sought after for use in cigar wrappers. Tobacco leaves under these nets is lighter colored and milder in flavor than tobacco grown in full sunlight. Even with farm machinery like the truck in this postcard, growing and harvesting shade tobacco is hot, painstaking, and difficult work.

Los Angeles is taking a progressive look at public transportation and railLA is leading the way, bringing together the forces of the Los Angeles Chapters of the American Institute of Architects and the American Planning Association (APA). Today marks the launch of the railLA exhibition, LA Beyond Cars: A Global Perspective on Rail and Public Space. Locals and visitors alike are invited to view new ideas for establishing sustainable public transportation in a city laden with cars.
The multimedia experience takes a look at numerous ideas from around the world that consider a future beyond automobiles for the car-centric city of Los Angeles. The exhibit will run the entire month of August for any who happen to be in the City of Angels this summer. Those who are not fortunate enough to view the experience in three dimensions can see some of the transformational ideas online at railLA's Vision Blog.
railLA is growing as a coalition of experienced professionals, passionate citizens, and business leaders working together to ensure Californians benefit from the nation's first viable high-speed train network. Following the opening of the exhibition, there's a panel discussion looking at Transformational Transportation on Friday July 30th.

Liberty News
LaHaye Ice Center to host Christmas show
For the last five years, Liberty University's LaHaye Ice Center has drawn large crowds for a seasonal favorite: the Christmas on Ice show, featuring local talent, including Liberty's synchronized skating team.
This year's show, "A Storybook Christmas," will take place at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3. The event is hosted by the Lynchburg Figure Skating Club and features performances by members at all skill levels, from age 7 to 49, including competitive skaters and an Olympic hopeful.
The show will bring traditional stories to life on the ice, said Yvonne Nelson-Reid, director of the Lynchburg Figure Skating Club.
"The Christmas on Ice show is a wonderful celebration of the spirit of Christmas and a tradition now shared by many Lynchburg families," she said. "There is nothing like enjoying a cup of hot chocolate, fabulous music and talented ice skaters to get you in the Christmas spirit."
Since it opened in 2006, the LaHaye Ice Center has increased the popularity of skating on Liberty's campus and in the community. The center offers public skate sessions, lessons and a chance to watch Liberty's hockey teams compete against some of the top in the nation. The center is home to several Liberty club sports teams: five men's and women's hockey teams, a men's and women's figure skating team and the women's synchronized skating team. The rink is also used for the popular intramural sport of broomball.
"The donation of the Ice Center by Tim LaHaye to Liberty University has been such a wonderful gift to the community," said Nelson-Reid.
She said the club is honoring this by offering free admission to the Christmas show for all Liberty students.

Cristhian Bahena Rivera: Arrest of undocumented immigrant in Mollie Tibbetts' slaying may play into 2018 race With two words, the lead investigator in the death of a 20-year-old Iowa college student may have ratcheted up the debate over illegal immigration going into the last three months of the 2018 midterms. During a news conference Tuesday, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Rick Rahn said the man accused of killing Mollie Tibbetts, who went missing in July while jogging in Brooklyn, Iowa, is an "illegal alien." Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico.

Creamy Mussels with Smoky Bacon and Hard Cider Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 4 1/2 pounds mussels, scrubbed and debearded
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 12 ounces hard cider, preferably a drier style
- 4 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 1 bunch tarragon, stems discarded, leaves chopped
- Large handful of fresh parsley, stems discarded, leaves chopped
- Salt and pepper
- Bread
Pour one tablespoon of the olive oil into a large pot set over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon, and cook until the pieces are crispy, three to four minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to some paper towels. Try to leave as much of the fat behind in the pot as possible.
Add the garlic to the oil, and cook for a few seconds, and then add the mussels, cider, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Use a wooden spoon to stir everything around, and then cover the pot and turn the heat to high. Steam the mussels until almost all of the mussels have opened, shaking the pot from time to time, three to four minutes. Using the slotted spoon, transfer the mussels to a very large bowl, leaving the liquid behind. Discard any of the mussels that haven't opened.
Reduce the heat to medium-high, and stir in the crème fraîche. Cook at a boil for two minutes, and then add almost all of the bacon and herbs, leaving a little of each for a garnish. Stir well, and then season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the mussels between four large bowls, ladle on some of the sauce, and garnish with the remaining bacon and herbs. Serve the mussels with good crusty bread.

President Obama had hoped to have his Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor confirmed by the time the high court's new term begins in October.
He may as well forget about that now.
The time bomb that had been silently ticking under the confirmation process blew up on Monday. That Ricci, et al., v. DeStefano, et al. -- involving 20 New Haven firefighters (19 white, one Hispanic) denied promotion after the city threw out a test because no African-Americans passed it -- was going to be controversial was no surprise. That the court was most likely to rule against the Second Circuit panel, of which Sotomayor was a member, was also no surprise: The questions during the arguments telegraphed which way the justices were leaning. Finally, that Republicans were planning on using the decision against Sotomayor during the hearings was also a no-brainer.
What is something of a surprise is how problematic the confirmation process looks to become for the judge -- based on the language used by the court in its opinions. And the dissenting opinion, in its fashion, may be more problematic for Sotomayor than the majority one. That's because in the 5-4 decision, the judges in the dissent ended up agreeing with the lower court, but disagreed with the Second Circuit's (unsigned) reason for rejecting the firefighters claim:
The dissenters [Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Steven Breyer, David Souter and John Paul Stevens] would uphold the discarding of results from a test with a disparate impact where "the employer has good cause to believe the device would not withstand examination for business necessity." Depending on how this standards were applied, it could perhaps be sufficient to avoid a de facto quota system, and Justice Ginsburg made a point of claiming (albeit not very persuasively) that her standard would, in fact, avoid that result.
In any event, even the dissent's more lenient standard is a departure from that endorsed by Judge Sotomayor. As Justice Ginsburg wrote in footnote 10, "the lower courts focused on respondents' 'intent' rather than on whether respondents in fact had good cause to act." In other words, Judge Sotomayor refused to demand even that New Haven have "good cause" (never mind a strong basis in the evidence) to believe that it was vulnerable to a meritorious suit for disparate impact discrimination, before depriving the white firefighters of promotions they would have received had they been black.
Supporters of Sotomayor can argue -- quite accurately -- that her conclusion ultimately was little different than that reached by Souter, the man she seeks to replace on the court. Legally, that is the case. However, nomination processes don't stick within the letter of legal decisions. Rather, they are political situations, where the rules are anything but cut and dried.
As a result, Republicans were already looking for ways to stretch out the process. Now they have something concrete with which to go after Sotomayor (and, implicitly, the president). Aside from arguing that the judge was wrong in the basic decision, they can look at the dissent and say that her's didn't even measure up to their breadth of analysis.
Democrats have enough numbers to get Sotomayor confirmed, but the process will undoubtedly be tougher -- and more drawn out -- than the administration had hoped.

Press Release
ACLU Benefits Lawsuit Update
November 9, 2006
(Anchorage) - On Monday, November 7th the Department of Law filed its Petition for Review with the Alaska Supreme Court. The petition presents two issues for review before the Alaska Supreme Court. First, the Department of Law requests that the Supreme Court review the Superior Court's decision dated October 30th and November 2nd ordering revisions to the regulations previously adopted by the Commissioner of the Department of Administration. It is the Department of Law's position that the superior court's request for a rewrite of the regulations encroaches upon the authority of the executive branch in adopting regulations. Second, the Department of Law asserts in the alternative that the court erred in finding the adopted regulations to be unconstitutional.
On Tuesday, November 8th, in compliance with the order issued by Superior Court on October 30, 2006, revised November 2, 2006, the Department of Law filed three copies of draft regulations pertaining to the implementation of employment-related health
insurance and survivor benefits to state employees who are in same-sex, "committed" relationships. These modified regulations are in draft form and have not been adopted by the Commissioner of the Department of Administration.

As a lip balm addict, I reserve the right to buy any new lip balm that, erm, takes my fancy.
When I saw this Jill Stuart Fruit Lip balm in all its glorious packaging, I had to buy it! I actually have the previous Limited Edition release of lip balms from Jill Stuart but they were lovely – this new version is even better.
I love the look of this jar! The lip balm comes in 2 shades, white/clear and pink.
They say:
An ultra-moisturizing lip balm softens and nourishes lips while topping them off with a high gloss shine. Sheer wash of color gives lips a delicate tint, playing off the natural color of your lips. Housed in an elegant jar with a stunning silver cover, it adds a touch of sophistication to any makeup collection.
The top of the lid has this delicate design and a gem on to- it's quite a sturdy thing, you can chuck it into your bag like you would with any other lip balm…
The lip balm is the shape of a fruit…I can't put my finger on it though!
This lip balm has a beautiful texture – I don't like overly glossy lip balms normally, but this is just gorgeous! It has a super soft texture but leaves a glossy, flattering pink sheen on the lips that lasts, and really hydrates.
It just feels lovely and looks lovely…perhaps the nicest lip balm texture I have ever tried.
I paid about $18 for this which I thought was quite cheap for a Jill Stuart product.
I don't mind using this product up, after all I can always fill it with another product afterwards.
This is such a lovely product – it smells nice, it feels nice, and looks nice. It's funny will Jill Stuart, usually I find the idea of the brand is better than the actual products but this one is a winner.

Justin Bieber to Meet 11-Year-Old Girl With Rare Medical Condition
Bieber Fever has sparked a medical breakthrough, at least in the case of Megan Ham. The 11-year-old girl is afflicted with a rare disorder known as Lissencephaly, which effects only 1500 children globally. The little girl is severely neurologically impaired and has had up to 70 seizures in a single day, and she can't walk or talk. Up until recently, she didn't express emotion, and her parents were told she'd live to be 2, if that. However, she began to show sparks of emotion, a smile and kicked her leg upon hearing the music of Justin Bieber.
Grab a tissue, Beliebers, because this one is heartbreaking and heartwarming, as it demonstrates the power of music. Megan discovered Biebs by accident. As his music popped up on the radio, she became to respond. When she sees or hears him, science falls by the wayside and she is expressive.
Megan's teachers say the music keeps her happy and comfortable, and she has some communication with her family, thanks to Bieber.
The story of Megan, who resides in the Pacific Northwest, has reached Biebs, who tweeted his love, support and a promise to see her in person when he makes it to her area.
OMG, we have to hand it to JB. He will make this little girl's life and that of her family by meeting her. He really is an angel, that Biebs.
Check out his tweet. We cannot wait until he tweets a photo of them together. We send our thoughts and love to Megan, as well.
MEGAN you stay strong for me and I'm gonna make sure we meet when i come to Portland. Love you and Thank You :) - kptv.com/story/18712884…

Welcome to Female Contemporary Art: a diverse portfolio of works by taiche.
My artwork is eclectic in style and theme and ranges from cute through dark, from political to satire, from realist to abstract. My style is influenced by mood and subject: I paint an image how I see it. I embrace my diversity and the fact that I am able to paint a subject in more than one way.
My hobby became a professional concern in 2008, and my work style and portfolio have been growing steadily since then. I showcase my works as custom orders on Etsy and have an extensive range of goods available as Print on Demand Gifts on Redbubble, Zazzle and 3DRose. Just search for taiche.
I held my first solo exhibition in June 2009 at the The Culture & Art House, Akyaka Turkey.
My second solo exhibition was in June 2011 at the The Culture & Art House, Akyaka Turkey.
My third solo exhibition is scheduled for June 2011 at the The Culture & Art House, Akyaka Turkey.
I am a supporter of equailty in every sense and every year I have donated works to be auctioned for charitable events. To date I have supported the cause of the Derbyshire Rainbow Fringe Festival and Rainbow Routes. These works, acrylic on canvas, were exhibited during the Festival September 24th to October 3rd 2010 and auctioned as part of the Festival proceedings in October 2010 and 2011. A further four works were donated for charitable causes in 2012. I am currently working with Rainbow Routes with respect to "The Rights of The Child" Project. I will be illustrating a workbook aimed at 5-14 year olds. The remit is that the illustrations should be colourful and accessible and will be provided in both book format and CD to UK schools.
In August 2012 I was commissioned by the Kaptan June Sea Turtle Conservation Foundation of Dalyan, Turkey to illustrate an educational book for on the lifecycle of the endangered Loggerhead Turtle. The book will be published in 2013.
Tracey Harrington-Simpson is a member of PINK POETRY inc.Love Those Breasts and supports every effort to increase Breast Cancer Awareness.
I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it. My artwork is a gift as unique as you are!

Evilgoo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
MagnetIQ (\mag-'ne-tik\)
We are an organization that specializes in digital advertising in a wide variety of formats. There have been a lot of acquisitions and this environment (social network) will be one of our first attempts at integrating our cultures. We are a fun group with a sense of humor and like clever and unique design elements. The name MagnetIQ is meant to symbolize the coming together of ideas and agencies and will serve as a place for employees to post questions and have them answered by anyone in the network. Have fun with the logo and be creative we want this to be something all of our users will like to have fun with and we don't want it to seem corporate as we really want to encourage adoption.
Our target audience is our internal employees. This needs to be something they can relate to and something that will strengthen the tie between the agencies. It will be the single most important influence on uniting companies and individuals from a variety of backgrounds.
I don't want to give a lot of direction here. Keep it colorful but not crazy. We want it to look professional but also not boring. We don't have specific colors that we need to incorporate so feel free to try some combinations. We are fine with including the brand name, but it would be nice to have a visual representation of MagnetIQ (\mag-'ne-tik\). Use IQ if possible to tie in knowledge, thinking, brains etc. Please don't feel limited by this description, you guys are the experts.
