Rebecca Benner named associate vice president for advancement
July 28, 2014
"Beckie's knowledge and leadership have been mainstays for the Division of Advancement for several years and her guidance for the past year in particular has moved the Division of Advancement forward," said Broschart. "I'm thrilled that she will use her expertise in advancement operations and strategic planning to enable the division to continue on the positive path she established."
"The Division of Advancement plays a key role for Binghamton University, enabling us to provide the margin of excellence our students and faculty deserve," said President Harvey Stenger. "Beckie's leadership of this vital division over the past year helped us strengthen our relationships with donors, brought a clear focus to our philanthropy efforts and guided successful initiatives that will serve the campus well for years to come."
"It was an honor to be asked to serve as vice president of the Division of Advancement during the interim and I am very proud of what we did as a team to prepare the division to recruit someone of Jim's caliber," said Benner. "The support that I had from the campus community, our volunteer leadership and from our alumni and friends had a significant impact in that success. I look forward to continuing to work as a member of this important organization that will move the campus forward on our pathway to premier."
During her eight years at Binghamton, Benner has been instrumental to the University's advancement achievements, providing knowledge, leadership and analysis for day-to-day decision making as well as long-range planning. As campaign director for Bold.Brilliant.Binghamton – The Campaign for Binghamton University, she oversaw a tremendous effort involving more than 30,000 donors. After meeting the campaign's original goal of $95 million, the bar was set higher at $100 million, and the campaign ended by raising over $101 million to enhance educational opportunities for students, foster innovative research by faculty and strengthen the University overall.
Benner came to Binghamton University in 2006, after 20 years at Illinois State University where she served as director of advancement services and assistant campaign director, moving Illinois State through its first comprehensive campaign. She has extensive background in campaign planning, database operations, foundation accounting, prospect management and research, donor relations and annual funds.

North Carolina hopes to launch one of its next big industries out of a tiny airport in Hyde County.
The Division of Aviation, part of the state transportation department, is drafting plans for a test range where private companies and academic researchers could try out unmanned aircraft and the cameras and other devices they might carry.
If theyre successful at getting an FAA permit for the range, officials will then ask the Federal Aviation Administration to make it one of six sites nationwide the agency will use to help determine how unmanned craft can be incorporated into U.S. airspace.
Having a test range in the state could spur research and development worth billions of dollars, said Kyle Snyder, director of the NextGen Air Transportation Center at N.C. State University, which is working with the state, other universities and private industry to find uses for unmanned aircraft.
In North Carolina, Snyder said, We could do the building, the testing, the final production, the training and the maintenance on these aircraft. We could do the full life-cycle.
Unmanned aircraft also called remotely piloted aircraft have been in use for years, most notably by the U.S. and Israeli military. Large U.S. military drones have carried out attacks during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Within the United States, the FAA strictly regulates the use of unmanned aircraft. About five dozen universities and law enforcement agencies across the country are certified to operate them.
In North Carolina, theyre used by the Army and the Marines within the confines of Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune.
The test field proposed for the Engelhard Airport would be geared toward much smaller craft than those used to carry out military air strikes; those flown in Hyde County would weigh 50 pounds or less and have wing spans of up to about 10 feet. Depending on their size, they could be launched by hand or with a catapult.
Possible uses of remote planes and helicopters, which can cost from $20,000 into the millions of dollars each, are still being imagined.
I can hardly think of a single industry where there wouldnt be a use for these aircraft, Snyder said. If youre an accountant, I probably cant help you with a little helicopter. But anybody else, I look forward to talking to you about a business application.
The technology of the aircraft is generally considered well established, though improvements continue to be made in battery life and capacity so that unmanned planes can stay in the air longer and carry heavier or more sophisticated payloads. Current research is focused on the systems the aircraft take up with them, such as digital and infrared cameras.
Civilian uses of the craft could include search-and-rescue over water, in wildernesses or in collapsed buildings; land surveying; post-disaster damage assessment; crop evaluation; forest fire spotting; livestock observation; and power-line trouble detection.
The proposed site
Richard Walls, aviation director at N.C. DOT, said the range is essentially a box in the sky where the planes could maneuver. This one, still being drawn, might be a rectangle as large as 5 miles by 2 miles, encompassing the Engelhard Airport. Remote aircraft generally fly below 1,000 feet, and when the range is in use, spotters would be on the ground to make sure the craft stay in view at all times. Companies or others renting the range would work with the airport to prevent conflicts with general aviation planes.
Proponents of the test range say it would allow the industry to grow within the state and could draw companies from outside that dont have another place to test their gear. It could also benefit students in aeronautics, engineering and aviation at N.C. State, Elizabeth City State University and other schools.
The potential is just unlimited, said Mazie Swindell-Smith, manager of Hyde County, whose commissioners have endorsed the idea.
Along the Pamlico Sound in the northeastern part of the state, Hyde is one of North Carolinas least populated and poorer counties. It has just 5,800 residents, most of them supported by commercial fishing, farming or timber production. Its county-owned airport is the least traveled in the state, though traffic picks up a bit as sportsmen come in when the fish are biting and ducks are on the wing.
Those who use the Engelhard Airport are accustomed to air-space restrictions. The airport, off U.S. 264, has three national wildlife refuges as neighbors, including 52,000-acre Lake Mattamuskeet, along with a Navy bombing range.
The buzz in Hyde County
There has been no opposition to the plan locally, Swindell-Smith said. Elsewhere, the American Civil Liberties Union and others have expressed privacy concerns about aircraft equipped with such sophisticated cameras cruising above their heads.
The FAAs primary concern is safety, making sure the introduction of a new class of aircraft into the skies doesnt create problems.
The state plans to apply to the FAA by September to create the test range. Under pressure from Congress to create a set of rules for unmanned aircraft to enter the open skies, the FAA has said it will designate its six test sites by the end of the year. Snyder said industry observers expect it will be at least two years after that before the rules are completed.
Whatever economic opportunity it presents, Swindell-Smith hopes for another windfall from the emerging remote-piloted aircraft industry. It has to do with a persistent problem in her watery home county besides poverty.
Id love to see somebody develop a better application for spraying mosquitoes.

By GARY POPP
Clarksville police arrested two women earlier this week in unrelated cases. The cases are similar, however, as each woman had attempted to steal from area business, and both were found in unlawful possession of hypodermic needles.
Ashley Burch, 29, was arrested Tuesday after she attempted to steal a Dyson vacuum cleaner from Sears retail store, officials reported.
Clarksville police were dispatched to the store about 7 p.m. as Sears' loss prevention officers were chasing Burch from the store. Officers arrived to the area of the nearby Sam Swope car dealership and were alerted by loss prevention officers that Burch had jumped into the back of a white vehicle.
Police located the vehicle and made a traffic stop on Kopp Lane.
Johan Palao, 37, of Clarksville, was driving the vehicle and told police that he had seen Burch being chased by a man running down Lewis and Clark Boulevard. Palao said he recognized Burch from America's Best Inn in Clarksville and allowed her to jump into the back of the vehicle. He also said that he didn't know Burch was being chased by law enforcement at the time she got into the vehicle.
Palao told police that once Burch was in the vehicle and saw police in the area, " ... she became very nervous and irate, and telling him to take off and speed."
Palao was cited for driving on a suspended license.
He gave police consent to search his vehicle, where police located a syringe in the door panel of the passenger door.
Burch was later charged in Clark County Circuit Court No. 2 with theft and unlawful possession of a syringe, both class D felonies.
She was released without bond Thursday.
Arrest made at Kroger
Clarksville police responded to Kroger grocery on Lewis and Clark Parkway about 12:30 p.m. the same day, after a shoplifter was detained by the store's loss prevention department.
The loss prevention officers told police Ronda Keabler, 44, of Bowling Green, Ky., was seen putting merchandise into her purse. After loss prevention officers approached her, a man she was with ran off.
The items Keabler is reported to have stolen includes cheese, tomatoes, lunch meats and Krispy Kreme pastries, which had a total value of $23. Keabler complied with store officials and waited in an office at Kroger until police arrived.
Police reported that Keabler did not have any identification with her and provided the Social Security number of another person.
She was then taken to the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex in Jeffersonville. As Keabler was being booked into the jail, a female correctional officer found her in possession of six syringes.
Keabler has been charged in Clark County Circuit Court No. 3 with theft, possession of a syringe and identity deception, all class D felonies. She was also charged with A misdemeanor false informing.
Keabler remained in the jail Friday afternoon under no bond, according to jail staff.

Panties (typically called knickers in British English) are a form of underwear designed to be worn by women and girls[1] in the crotch area below the waist.
Typical components include an elastic waistband, a crotch panel to cover the genital area (usually lined with absorbent material such as cotton), and a pair of leg openings which, like the waistband, are often made of elastic; materials are usually chosen to be breathable. While panties were originally designed to cover the entire lower half of the female form,[2] the modern version (since the 1970s) has either no legs or, in some cases, very short ones, and has become progressively more revealing over time.
"Panties" (plural form) is usually used to denote more than one "pair of panties" (singular), whilst "panty" is used in such derivatives as "panty liner" and "panty hose". The term is applied only to female underwear, with "underpants" often used as a term for the male counterpart.
Prior to the French Revolution, women simply wore long, heavy skirts with petticoats under their dresses. A need to cover the lower regions of a woman's body didn't arise until the Regency era when the lighter, sheer fabrics of the Empire styles of dress created a need for warm undergarments. As a result, women began wearing pantaloons under their dresses - a loose undergarment derived from the ankle-length men's trousers of the same name. By the 1820s, women's pantaloons had evolved into pantalettes, or drawers, a garment consisting of two separate leggings tied at the waist. Within a few decades, the Victorian era ushered in a cultural obsession with modesty, and drawers were re-joined into a single garment, now called knickers (a name borrowed from knickerbockers, a loose style of men's breeches). By the late 1870s, knee-length knickers were widely worn by women and would continue to be popular through the turn of the century.[3]
In the early 20th century, reforms in women's fashion put an emphasis on changing women's clothing styles (including underwear) with mobility, hygiene, and personal health in mind. Women's fashion continued to relax throughout the 20th century, and knickers continued to change in style in accordance with shorter skirt lengths, slimmer silhouettes, and new materials such as Rayon. Knickers grew shorter with wider, flared legs (see Tap Pants), eventually morphing into what would become the classic, full-coverage briefs style by the 1930s.
As knickers gradually became unrecognizable from their original form, they adopted a new name in the US. By the end of the 1920s, women's underwear was referred to as "panties",[4] a term originally used as a diminutive of "pants"[5] (much in the same way that knickers originated as a term). Despite this change, use of the term 'knickers' remains prevalent in the UK and New Zealand.[6] The full-coverage panty briefs style continued to change in accordance with contemporary silhouettes and hemlines, but most modern styles would not appear until the 1960s, following the development of more daring clothing fashions (namely the miniskirt) and changing societal views of the female body.
Panties are divided into various types based on such criteria as amount of rear coverage, width at the sides and height at which they are worn. These categories are not necessarily distinct and usage may vary somewhat among brands:[7]
- Briefs rise to the waist, or just below the navel, and have full coverage in the rear.
- Classic (or full brief) features sides that extend below the hip.
- High-cut (or French cut) is designed with sides that are somewhat narrower.
- Boyleg (or boyshorts) are styled after men's briefs and may have short legs extending below the crotch.
- Control panties (or control briefs) are special and designed to offer support whilst giving a slimmer appearance. This type usually contains a stretch material such as spandex and may extend above the waist.
- Hipsters are similar to briefs, but are worn lower down the body, with the waistband around the hips.
- Bikinis sit at hip level, like the Hipsters, but the fabric of the side sections is narrower. With the string bikini type, the side sections disappear altogether and the waistband consists of only string-like material; also, the rear coverage of the bikini is not as concealing as the design of the brief. Bikini is the most widely worn style amongst women worldwide.[citation needed]
- Tangas provide a moderate to minimal coverage with back coverage that is more than a thong but narrower than a bikini. And the waistband is reduced to a narrow strip at the sides.[8]
- Thongs have a waistband similar to tangas, but the rear coverage is mostly cut away. The crotch is extended to the back of the wearer and a narrow strip of fabric fits between the buttocks, becoming wider towards the top.
- The G-string has just a vertical string at the back connecting crotch to waistband, sometimes featuring a tiny triangle of fabric.
Panties are made of a variety of materials and fabrics, including satin, silk, PVC, cotton, nylon, mesh, lace, rawhide, leather, latex, lycra, and polyester. Construction typically consists of two pieces (front and rear) that are joined by seams at the crotch and sides; an additional gusset is often in the crotch, with the waistband and leg-openings made from elastic.
In countries such as the United Kingdom (UK), Ireland, South Africa, and occasionally in other Commonwealth nations such as New Zealand, panties are often referred to as "knickers" or "undies". In Australia, they are usually called "undies". The term is not generally used in the United States (US) and Canada, where "panties" is usually favored. In the UK, the term "pants" is also used for both men and women's underwear (not to be confused with the North American usage of pants, which refer to what both Americans and the British call "trousers").
When wearing stockings, panties are worn under the garter belt. When wearing pantyhose or bodysuits, women may also wear panties underneath.

Cast with cute kids, given a few decent effects and incorporating some of that found-footage business borrowed from 'The Blair Witch Project,' 'Earth to Echo' doesn't have the financial or emotional heft of Steven Spielberg's 'E.T.,' but it works well enough.
'Deliver Us from Evil' takes a very long time to deliver us from dullness. This demonic possession police procedural only gets good and wound up for its third-act exorcism.
With 'Begin Again,' director John Carney demonstrates that the disarming emotional candor and intimacy of his 2006 film 'Once' were no fluke. He is a wholesale believer in the healing power of music.

For a line of toys based on changing shape, Transformers are a pretty predictable -- and profitable -- bunch.

RALEIGH — In 1993, N.C. State womens basketball coach Kay Yow hired an up-and-comer from Maryville College named Wes Moore as an assistant coach. He would help the team reach the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament in 1995.
On Monday, Moore was introduced as the head coach of the N.C. State womens basketball team a process which he said wouldnt have been possible without his first stop in Raleigh.
Its a humbling day, I can say that, and its a proud day, said Moore, who comes to the Wolfpack from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I wouldnt be here today without (Kay Yow)s influence and support through all the years because of my experiences with coach Yow, I can come in here with my eyes wide open. I know what its going to take for us to be successful.
Moore has been successful at every stop during his coaching career, winning a combined 558 games as a head coach with a .767 winning percentage while leading the Mocs to nine NCAA tournaments.
After going over her criteria during her search for a new coach, which included academic success, recruiting excellence and an outstanding track record on the court, athletic director Debbie Yow paused before stating the final reason for hiring Moore.
His unwavering belief that we can regain our position as a perennial NCAA tournament team over time, she said during Moores formal introduction.
One of the biggest obstacles over the last four seasons under former coach Kellie Harper was one similar to many Wolfpack coaches North Carolina and Duke.
With the Blue Devils expected to be at the top of the ACC yet again next season and the Tar Heels bringing in one of the best recruiting classes in the nation and more competition coming to the conference with Louisville and Notre Dame, two teams that made it to the Final Four, Moore knows he faces a tough test.
I understand its a great challenge before us, Moore said. The ACC is one of the premier basketball conferences in the country its going to be brutal. I understand that. But there are a whole lot of reasons for optimism.
As the first male head coach of the Pack, Moore referenced the showdown tomorrow night between Louisville coach Jeff Walz and Connecticuts Geno Auriemma by saying, As far as a guy coaching women, I think the national championship game is tomorrow night.

Each Saturday on the Politics Now blog, you'll find a list of stories that caught the eyes of The News' political reporters. Here's a sampling of what they were reading the last couple weeks:
"Sources: Cuomo tried to keep New York public labor heads off DNC delegate list," by Maggie Haberman, Politico. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has not been shy in his battles with public employee unions. But for someone who will need labor's support should he be serious about a 2016 national run, this story depicts a Democrat who does not play well in the sandbox with others.
The Legislative Correspondents Association show was held a couple weeks back –- an annual politician-mocking gig put on by some current and former reporters who cover the state Capitol. Politicians get their turn, too, and here is the video put together by Sen. Michael Gianaris, the Queens Democrat in charge of trying to take back the Senate from Republicans this fall. Most Senate Democrats may not be willing to publicly state their anger with Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo for signing a redistricting bill intended to help Republicans, but this video makes the point -– in rather not-so-subtle ways. Note: if you don't want to hear a profanity, turn your sound down when former U.S. Sen. Al D'Amato appears.
"White House visitor logs provide window into lobbying industry," by T.W. Farnam, Washington Post. President Obama, more than any other president before him, vowed to "change the political culture that has fueled the influence of lobbyists," Farnam writes. But access to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and senior administration officials is still clearly available.
"Republicans in NY: lame in lower house," by Ken Hall, Times Herald-Record. Buffalo developer Carl Paladino, as he is also doing in Western New York, is getting involved in a race for the State Legislature in Albany. Paladino is backing Colin Schmitt, one of two candidates "of the new GOP generation" seeking the 99th Assembly District seat.

The overall goal of my research is to more clearly image the structure of the Earth's crust and mantle using seismic waves in order to better understand dynamic processes inside the Earth. Our recent work has focused on two topics: the continental lithosphere and its interactions with the deeper mantle, and mantle flow and melting processes in subduction zones. These studies blend analysis of observed seismic body and surface waves - often gathered through temporary field deployments of seismic stations - with numerical modeling of mantle processes and prediction of theoretical waveforms.
I graduated with a BS in geology and geophysics from Yale in 1983 and received my PhD in geophysics from MIT in 1989. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (Columbia University), I joined the faculty in the Department of Geological Sciences at Brown in the fall of 1990. I was a Royce Family Professor of Teaching Excellence from 2004 to 2007.

"We are deeply saddened by this turn of events and the sanctions administered by the OSSAA," said Leroy Qualls, superintendent of Sequoyah schools.

BioInformatics - A unique experience at UNO
Bioinformatics is an exciting and rapidly growing field that uses computer technology and information science to study biological information and structures. Specifically, it is the science of developing computer databases and algorithms to facilitate and expedite biological research, particularly in genomics.
There is an immense and growing need for scientists and managers in the field of bioinformatics, especially by the emerging and established biotechnology companies that are taking advantage of the DNA sequence of the human genome. The data provided by the Human Genome Project has required an increase in tools needed by researchers to analyze and document data in areas like functional genetics and structural biology. Further research will lead researchers to gain insight into understanding disease processes and creating novel treatment strategies. A degree in bioinformatics would prepare a student to be a vital part in one of these areas.

The Detroit Tigers are one of the most talented teams in Major League Baseball including perhaps the best hitter in baseball Miguel Cabrera, who is worth the price of admission alone. As the Tigers make the push in 2014 towards the World Series, find tickets for a game at Comerica Park this season at TicketNetwork.com!
|Seating Capacity:
|2100 Woodward Avenue
Detroit, MI 48201
Since 1901, Detroit Tigers baseball has been a staple of the Motor City. Along with other Detroit sports franchises – the Red Wings, Pistons and Lions – the Tigers help make up one of the greatest sports towns in the country.
Every season, the team competes in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, the American League Central Division. Over the years, the Tigers have had some tough games versus the likes of the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals. But, of all the teams in the Central Division, it's the Detroit Tigers who can say they have the most World Series championships, with four to their name. Their latest World Series title came in 1984 behind the double-play combination of Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker. They, along with pitcher Jack Morris, helped lead the Tigers to the win in Major League Baseball's biggest series.
Detroit Tigers baseball has always been about winning. Five times the franchise has won over 100 games in a season, with the best in recent years being 2011 when the Tigers won a total of 95 games. They went all the way to the World Series that baseball season before losing to the St. Louis Cardinals. Just six years following that appearance in the World Series, the Tigers returned to the "Fall Classic" once again in 2012. Unfortunately, they fell short once again, this time to the San Francisco Giants.
The franchise continues to build towards a World Series crown, this season they will be lead by triple crown winner Miguel Cabrera as well as ace pitcher Justin Verlander.
If you are a Detroit Tigers fan or just a baseball fan in Detroit, TicketNetwork.com can help connect you to Tigers tickets this season. Find the perfect seats for you, your friends or your family for a great day at Comerica Park!

Heartbreaking Crime: Violent Acts Across America

Several shocking incidents of violent crime are being tried in courts across the country.

John Santaella March 06, 2014 at 10:15 AM
Tony, I know people who are out of work. They've been out of work for a while now and are not considered unemployed because they are no longer looking for work. I know how the labor dept uses its figures. People who are no longer registered with their states unemployment bureau are not listed as unemployment. Our unemployment rate is much higher than the announced rate. Unemployment however has nothing to do with this thread which deals with crime. When you can't counter an argument you bring up the ''but what about''. 'But what about' is not an argument form. It holds no water nor do you who are full of holes. Now, do you wish to tell me how the FBI uses its figures? I'm all ears and willing to listen. Are you telling me the FBI does not report crime?
Tony March 06, 2014 at 10:51 AM
John I totally agree with you on the unemployment issue so then why are false reports being issued telling us the UE is down to some 7.whatever percent and your right its because they don't add in all the facts I'm willing to bet we're closer to 11 or 12 percent! If not higher! Now people out of work looking to survive and nowhere to turn... where do you think they're gonna go???? Right to the streets so they can steal and kill for what they need. Look whats happened to our CPS for the last 15 years our taxes have gone up to cover education because we want to be the best...Bullshit take a look at how many schools closed in the past 3 years! Parents working 2, 3 jobs to make ends meet Who's watching/raising the kids? The streets that's who! Whats our local, state and federal governments doing? NOTHING because none of it affects them and it never will. These so called leaders that we have get more in pension then some people will get in a life time. As for the FBI reporting, no I'm not saying they don't report crime I do however question the accuracy/reporting of any stats put out by our government entities (at all levels) because they lie, they cheat and they cover shit up

A 72-year-old Tacoma man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Pierce County Superior Court to second-degree assault and malicious harassment in a road-rage incident with gay-bashing overtones.
Judge Thomas Larkin sentenced William Zesbaugh to six months in jail.
Zesbaugh was arrested in January after a traffic dispute turned violent on North Pearl Street in Tacoma.
According to court records, Zesbaugh was driving near the state ferry terminal when a car carrying two women pulled in front of him.
Thinking the women had cut him off, Zesbaugh began following their car very closely and honking his horn. He ran into the back of the women's car when it stopped for a stop sign, the records show.
"When the victim approached the defendant's car and asked for his insurance information, he went to his trunk and took out a 'Club' steering-wheel lock," court records show. "Realizing he was going to strike her the victim held up her arm to block the assault."
Zesbaugh hit her at least once before a state ferry worker intervened, the records show. The woman suffered a deep gash in her forearm.
He then put the "Club" back into his trunk before telling the woman, "I know you're lesbians. I should beat the crap out of you," the records show.
One of the women is a lesbian, the other - who was hit by Zebaugh - straight and married.
In court Tuesday, Zesbaugh said, "I just lost it."
Larkin told the defendant he has "issues you need to work on" then ordered corrections officers to take him away.

On Friday, Watkinsville Police arrested Talmadge Pat Hanley, 55, of Hog Mountain Road, and charged him with two counts of felony theft by shoplifting, according to Chief Lee O'Dillon's weekly news release.
The charges resulted from an incident last Wednesday, and another incident on Friday, where several collectable coins, valued at $2,500, were taken from Attic Treasures. Hanley is accused of selling the coins at area jewelry stores, O'Dillon wrote.
Police were able to recover all of the stolen coins.
In the news release, O'Dillon also noted the following incidents:
- At 7:05 Wednesday morning, a large deer ran into the path of a westbound 2013 Kia Sorento on Experiment Station Road near VFW Drive. The 62-year-old driver was not injured and only minor damage was done to the car.
- A 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer struck the back of a 2012 Subaru Outback forcing it into the rear of a 2003 Buick Park Avenue on Thursday at 5:38 p.m. The accident happened on Experiment Station Road at North Main Street. One person was slightly injured. A 24-year-old Watkinsville woman was charged with following too closely.
- At 7:45 a.m. Friday, a 1999 GMC Sierra pulled from a private driveway on Cedar Drive into the side of a 2009 bus. No one was injured. An Athens man, 35, was charged with failure to yeild to the right of way.
Watkinsville police responded to a total of 32 calls within city limits between Nov. 12-18, 2012.

Just thought I would come out of lurk mode and offer my first design up for crit, and a quick introduction. I'm a designer from Canada (over 15 years and counting), a father of two, and a pop-culture nut. I'm amazed at the creative community that's fostered here -- lots of talented folks!
Anyway, my wife is a huge Supernatural fan (I'm relatively new, myself -- just finished a marathon and finally watched all the episodes I missed in a 5 season trench run in the evenings, LOL.) Here's a shirt I made for her two favourite lads:
I tried to come up with some sort of gimmick (clever tag line) but I thought it'd be better served it just the names.

Chuffy155 weeks agoVery nicely done. No need for a tag line, it stand up on its own.
My preference - either no distressing or a more subtle distressing than the one you've done. Any chance of a close up? We know what a t-shirt looks like. ;)
RangersFan155 weeks agoI agree with Chuffy that it could use more subtle distressing, but IMO it definitely needs SOME. Just seems more fitting with the show.
RangersFan155 weeks agoOh and by the way, I really like the design. Forgot to say that. =P
It's awesome seeing a spn shirt on the forums, and I like the design, but perhaps it is too similar to the "Winchester Bros." shirt sold by the CW?
Maybe not though. It's really late here, and I should probably go to sleep.
Thanks for all the comments!
@snellby: Oy, I hadn't seen that one (and here I was thinking I was clever, LOL). I'd say there are some similarities to be had, and differences as well to be sure.
Back to the drawing board. :)
Sorry. :C. I really like your design much better than the official one. The typography and colors are great. The only reason I mentioned it was because there was some controversy a few weeks ago about original designs and such.
I hope to see more of your designs in the future. :). This is a really swell place.
Chuffy155 weeks agoI would say the design is different enough and were I choosing, I'd prefer Manny's design.
I spend a good while scouring the net after I think of an idea for a design before I start work on it. A recent piece of work I did took a good 8 hours to produce. That's a lot of time wasted if it ends up being compared to someone elses work, or worse accused of plagiarism (as has happened here a few weeks ago).
1. Come up with an idea.
2. Write it down (important! lest you forget).
3. Scour the net, google image search, various t-shirt sites and Art sites to check no-one did it already.
4. Start work.
5. Complete it before someone tunes into your brainwaves and has the same idea.
I think I'm gonna go make a Top Hat from tin foil. :)
No worries, Snellby. Better to know, right? :) Regardless, it's good to hear positive feedback in spite of my duplicating of efforts, LOL!
Today's Back to the Future tee reminded me of an old design I had done about a year ago (another logo type of shirt). I might post it sometime once it's passed, so people don't get overdosed on BTTF designs.
Cheers, all!
@Chuffy: All good points. I think I didn't scour #3 enough. However, considering it's from the CW there's no excuse on my part. :D
yannmanu03155 weeks agohow do u create a shirt....computer website or paper. Please help so shoot me up and email [email protected] Also that is so SICK!!!!!!!!
Temporary image until the DNS issue is resolved.
beware1984155 weeks agoIt's so tough to give up on a design just because a concept is already out there. I have so many designs that I later find have been done (usually poorly) but I'm too worried about the blowback to move forward with them. Just something I gotta deal with I guess.
Honestly, now that I'm awake, I'd say go with it anyway. It's a great design, much better than the CW's, and I'd just love to see a Supernatural design get printed. :) I'm sure the rabid fan base would love it as well.

Ada —
Grace Christian Fellowship recently donated a check to the Ada House of Hope for the sum of $25,000.
For the 20 years that the House of Hope has been in existence, the church has been supporting the vision behind House of Hope.
"Our church is proud to be a part of the vision and ministry provided by the House of Hope," said Spencer Cody, media minister at Grace. "When our church learned of the need, the Grace leadership went to work immediately to ensure that we keep the House of Hope going strong in our community.
"I learned that the House of Hope reaches out and effectively promotes the awesome value of a baby's life, ministers to hurt and broken families, and builds people up in Christ while never charging a penny to those they help.
"In my opinion, I am sure that the churches, organizations, and businesses in our local community will also help the House of Hope reach their financial goal because they are such a blessing to us."
House of Hope can be found on Facebook as Ada House of Hope. Information on meeting times at Grace can be found on its website at www.GCF-Ada.com

A neglected and dirty Bossier City Park called "Field of Dreams" has some parents calling the area a complete nightmare. Paige Sharpley was in the area and looking for a place for her kids to run and play, "I was either going to go to the one on Swan Lake or this one, but this one just has so much more room," said Sharpley, but what the Bossier mom saw when she arrived, surprised her. Faded paint, graffiti, trash, and rusted metal is everywhere in the park. The neglect is something she isn't used to seeing at a Bossier City park, "It doesn't look like the rest of the parks, most of them are nice and this one is just down, it doesn't look normal," Sharpley explained. One of two filthy water fountain spouts is broken at the park and it's not the only thing broken: the swing set, the railing on this pier, and parts of the playground need fixing. 19-year-old Jasmine Lampkin visited the park often as a kid and she remembers the park looking better back then. "The playground was definitely a lot nicer and there was more color on the playground and there was no graffiti at all," said Lampkin.
KSLA News 12 asked Bossier City Spokesman Mark Natale why the park looks so neglected, "It's not a funding issue, it's more of an awareness issue," said Natale and explained the Park and Rec department hadn't received any complaints about the park's condition until KSLA News 12 brought it to their attention. Now Natale says they are on it, "An assessment has been done regarding some of the discrepancies that are out here at the park and those will be addressed as early as today," he said. As far as what needs to be done, Sharpley has a simple solution. "I think they need to re-do a whole new playground, I think they need to rebuild it all,"
Natale encourages the public to let them know when there is trouble at any of the parks within city limits.
