Great race to run but barely any spectators and hardly any food at finish and I wasn't even that late of a time... course was very flat.... water sponges on the course was AMAZING, never had that before but was a major highlight! Finish was the best at the stadium! great memories...
I really like this race. I've run either the full or the half for 7 of the past 8 years. This year I did the full again and was very pleased with the entire event. There are many pros to this race. The early start for the full is good. Simple running the full with only other marathoners is a huge plus. The course is very enjoyable...much of it along the St Joe river, much of it shaded (though we didn't need that so much on an overcast day in 2013). Volunteers were awesome. There was plenty of medical folks on bikes circulating the entire course. The only con (a minor one) was the lack of bananas at the finish. By the time I got done and up to the stadium concourse (I ran a 4:26 marathon), there were only a stack of bagels and popsicles. I miss the old days when we could have popsicles on the field but I understand! Without a doubt, the HUGEST pro for this race is the finish...the run onto the Notre Dame campus, circling the famous stadium, then down the tunnel and onto the hallowed turf of the Fighting Irish is just awesome. My Dad played football for ND back in the 30's and so this is a very wonderful and emotional way for me to remember him. Thanks to Molly and all of her team for continuing to organize a big, complex and fantastic race day with many events and many runners.
I'm a fairly local marathoner but have never ran the Sunburst marathon because of the history of horribly hot weather on race day. This year I gave it a shot & was greeted with perfect marathoning weather, which likely boosted my rating of the marathon itself. The marathon has an early start which is great in minimizing the heat impact. This also allows marathoners to finish in the stadium while the crowd is still around as the other races start a bit later. Positives - The course is basically pretty. It runs along the river in a couple of places & 4 miles or so through a Mishawaka park, also along the river. There are several out & backs, which I like because it tends to break things up & also allows you to see that there are still people behind you. Water stations are plentiful & volunteers are great. Local spectators were sparse, but those that were out had sprinklers running & music playing. Fellow runners were very friendly & the race itself was generally enjoyable. Negatives - Race communication was frequent enough but hard to read. I couldn't find info on bag drop & other info seemed a bit muddied. Shirts & medals were really scrimped on. I'd much rather pay a bit extra & end up w/ a shirt I can wear & a medal that isn't just a piece of thin plastic. This is not a medal I'd want to display. The shirt is white & thin & not one that I'd want to sport around town or run in on a sweaty run. The finish in the stadium is great. The downside is that you finish with the 5k walkers. Kudos to them for walking a 5k, don't get me wrong at all. However, marathoners are forced to stand in a very long line of walkers just to exit the finish area. They then stand in another very long line of walkers in the post-race refreshment area. The walkers seemed to take forever picking out their post-walk snacks & then loaded up on them. Post-marathon, I need to move a little, not stand in one line after another. I resorted to cutting in line to exit & then sneaking in-between them to grab just a bagel so I could get out of there. A separate area for the walkers would have made this finish area so much better. All-in-all, this race was good while running, just ok before & after.
I was one of those people who were signed up for Madison the week before, which was cancelled. Luckily, we were able to change our flights at the last minute and run the Coeur d'Alene Marathon. Two days after that race, I'm looking for my next one and was surprised to find both cheap airfare and a fantastic weather forecast for South Bend the following weekend. Running marathons 6 days apart is not something I had planned, but the Sunburst Marathon was a good choice. The race was well organized, the weather was perfect and the finish at Notre Dame made it worthwhile. Staying at the Hilton next to the start line made the morning very easy, even with the 6am start, which I loved! The half marathoners started over an hour after the full, so they were never a factor. The whole first half of the course, we were never in the sun. The 2nd half had a few stretches of concrete and 1 block of bricks, but I can't complain. There are no big hills on this course and running along the St Joe river was nice. Even though I can scratch Indiana off my 50 states list, I would do this one again.
Great organization and this year's weather was excellent. After 87 degrees at Boston and heat that cancelled Green Bay 2:40ish into their marathon, I was still trying to earn my BQ for next April. What a relief to drive up to South Bend and enjoy 48 degrees at the start. Pros: Super easy to walk up and register the day before. Small field size with 446 finishers; you could easily hit the tangents at every opportunity. Ample porta potties at the start; there were NO lines. Ample free parking right at the registration and start. Race starts right on time at 6 a.m. Free bus ride back to the start from the stadium. Finishing inside Notre Dame's stadium is one of the best anywhere. Plenty of hydration, gels, bananas, etc. along the course. Cons: I laugh when some say the medal is substandard. Bling isn't important to me, nor the shirt, nor the Expo. Just give me a good course, good weather conditions and excellent race support and let the rest be up to me. Sure, the crowds are non-existent, but that's OK too. The course is wonky especially the back half. It seemed that quite a few of the mile markers were off as my Garmin measured miles ranging from .94 to 1.07 so just concentrate on your pace and not so much on your lap splits. And merging into the 5K walkers and half marathoners at about mile 24.5 can be annoying. Luckily I was able to maintain pace and finish strong. Thanks Sunburst and yes, I did BQ by :31 !
I started my quest for marathon #13 in Madison WI and finished it six days later in South Bend IN. The folks in Madison canceled me down to a half so South Bend became my plan B. While it was much cooler, it was still sunny and warmed up by the end. An early 6 am start helped. There was ample free parking in the downtown area, so it was easy to drive in from a nearby hotel if you want to save the expense of a downtown one. The expo was oddly outside at the College Football Hall of Fame. It seemed like they had lots of family friendly activities going on both Friday night and Saturday. The morning of the race, the Hall of Fame was open for shelter/restrooms. The course wound around with lots of turns and double-backs but there was good scenery, ample water stops, plenty of signage/volunteers to show the way and adequate road control by the local police. It was relatively flat with one sustained (but not steep) incline toward the end. Not much in the way of spectators except as you approached the finish in Notre Dame Stadium, which was a very cool experience. Post race food on the concourse inside the stadium out of the sun was also smart. The white race shirt was lame; the medal was even lamer but hey, on the other hand, I signed up five days before the race for $75. Throw in an inexpensive hotel and this was a cheap way to check off Indiana. I'm not sure I'll be back because of the date and potential for really warm conditions (seems like signing up late is a possible strategy) but I would recommend it especially if you have any sort of ND or South Bend connection (which I did).
This was my 4th marathon (RnR St. Louis, '11/ING Miami '12/Garmin Oz '12). It was a little chilly during packet pickup but race day turned out to be perfect running weather! I know that this was out of everyone's control, but I enjoyed the perfect weather very much that we had for this year's marathon! It was a little windy but for me it was just the perfect day! I did enjoy this marathon because there were a lot of good qualities however there is room for improvement and it can definitely become a much better event if some of these issues are corrected. I'll start with the pros. Pros: The expo and packet pick up the day before the race were pretty well organized. I arrived in South Bend on Friday and did not have any issues retrieving my packet and shirt. The 6 a.m. early start with just the Marathoners was perfect. I wish more races would start the full and half separately. I haven't experienced this in my running career yet but I very much appreciated the soaked sponges handed our towards the end of the race. Someone else handed our wet paper towels right before the last hill which was nice. This would have been very nice during the Miami Marathon, lol. The marathon route is pretty flat and beautiful as it runs along the St. Joseph River. The course follows the river much of the race except for the downtown portion. The course was well marked for the most part. There were several twists and turns, and if you weren't paying attention, I can see how someone could get off course but I noticed that there was always at least one person at each turn with a sign pointing you in the right direction. There were lots of police and volunteers throughout and they all did a great job of blocking traffic and making sure everyone was safe. There were plenty of fluid stations throughout the route. The water/Gatorade/GU stations were well spaced and stocked. There were also bananas given out at one point of the race. Stadium Finish / Finishing in ND's stadium was really cool!! Initially this year's race wasn't supposed to finish in the stadium due to construction but it got completed early and so we were able to finish the stadium after all. As a result of the stadium initially being under construction, marathon registrations were down and actually about half of what they normally were. At the post race finish area the treat stations were well stocked, which was good, and there really wasn't a line. I liked the cold, wet towels that they gave out. There were big cups of chopped water melon & cantaloupe and popsicles, chips and bagels. Definitely one of the best stocked post races I've been to. Okay, here are the Cons: First and foremost, the Sunburst Races NEED BETTER MEDALS. The marathon finisher medal is the most pathetic I have ever seen and very cheap. I have 5k fun run medals that blow this thing out of the water! I would like to see MORE PHOTOGRAPHERS placed at more places along the course. I only noticed photographers at one spot on the course and then at the stadium. It would have been cool to have some photos with the St. Joseph river in the background. There is NO MUSIC along the route. Please add some live music throughout the course in addition to the one man playing bag pipes. There are NO SPECTATORS along the course to cheer you on. I can count on one hand the spectators who came and we went through a lot of neighborhoods too. The few that came out though were nice and some of them kindly offered their water hoses to the runners and/or had a small stereo playing. I have run 3 prior marathons and this was probably the fewest people along the course. It would be cool to have a little MORE COURSE ON CAMPUS instead of running through residential areas that have such a lack of spectators. Please change the format of the pre-race email! It was one extremely long paragraph and was hard to read and pull out specific details. Finally, the last change that would suggest is giving out a different kind of tech shirt. How about making them green & gold tech shirts instead of see through white? This race does have a lot going for it and I would recommend running it because it is such a scenic marathon and it is a beautiful area.
Unlike last yr, temps were cooler this year. Water stops were manned by enthusiastic volunteers who ran to give you water-very nice. I suggest having some competition, costumes, more music, among the grps at the water stations to add some excitement. We always drive out the entire course to know what to expect but this time we couldn't as parts were in a park. The turn-around at mile 18 was in a park so you couldn't determine how far to go before the turnard. :( The 6am start count explain the lack of crowds along the course. Maybe a community outreach to neighborhoods along the course would get people out to support runners? No goodies in race package, only race applications a bit disappointing. Course seemed hillier (short steep ones)than shown on topo map but that could be me. The early start with only marathoners was refreshing. Start line wasn't crowded since it was a small race. I would try to get more vendors for the expo as if you needed something, you probably couldn't find it at the expo.
Very solid medium-small sized marathon. The weather was great (I didn't sign up until the week of, just in case), the course was great - very scenic and mostly flat - and the volunteers were great. I thought the post race could have been better, however. Meh food, meh medals, and an inexplicably long walk to the shuttles. Still, overall a very good (and rather inexpensive) marathon.
Good: Small number of runners makes it easy to navigate. The scenery along the river and through the Mishawaka parks is very, very pretty and lends a very good energy to the race. There are enough hills to make it interesting but it's mostly flat and fast. Bad: 1.The course is so convoluted in spots that it's enough to give you nightmares. There are times when you don't know whether you're coming or going and seriously wonder if you're off course. The finish in the stadium is nice but you have to watch yourself going through the tunnel (it's dark and the footing is a bit uneven). You should also be prepared to climb stairs to get out of the stadium after you finish. 2. This is the only marathon I've ever run where there are no timers on the course, not even at the halfway so you can compare your first and second half splits. If you are timing yourself be careful: the half way is not marked and there are always mile markers that are significantly off (this happens every year). If a runner has a mind to cheat, this is the race to do it as there are ample opportunities. 3. After almost 30 years you'd think the directors would incite civic pride by encouraging residents to form a group or two to cheer people on. Marathoners come from all over and get an impression of a city by those who come out to cheeror not. Very few spectators and few of them cheering for anyone except their one special person. 4. You pay the standard price for this marathon and get substandard returns. The directors are either cheapskates or the rental and permit costs are exorbitant. For example: In addition to no timers on the course the souvenirs are a joke. The poster is small and undistinctive, the t-shirt is white and see-through and the medal is nothing less than an insult. It's a cheap, plastic, toy-like affair that puts you in mind of a tinfoil-wrapped chocolate coin. I've paid less for races and gotten a lot more. I do this race because it's my hometown but I honestly can't recommend it except with reservations.

thanks for dropping by at my sketchbook!
Great start you have here!!
For anatomy I had a lecture with Marshall Vandruff and recommended these 2 books: "The Human Figure" from David Rubins and "Drawing from life" from George Bridgman.
They help me a lot with basic shapes and anatomy!
Keep it up!
"If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen." M. C. Escher
thanks for the crit in my book/ I noticed you crit alot
Sketchbook --I'd love some feedback!
Thanks for commenting in my sketchbook.
You're at the beginning of a long road and I think this advice from Bishop2004 is definitely worth paying attention to. It's nice to see you working on anatomy - keep going with that because it'll help a lot with your characters.
I also think you shouldnt be so worried about critiquing others yet, not until you have a bit more knowledge and experience under your belt. Sometimes generalised comments can be more destructive than useful, especially if the person lacks confidence or experience themselves. Not that I'm saying you shouldnt comment at all, just maybe think a little more about the context you're commenting in. I've seen you mention people's linework a couple of times when that's a personal working style rather than lack of control. Art isn't always about perfect clean linework so maybe thats something to keep in mind for future critiques.
I hope I'm not being too harsh and that you wont stop working and improving because you're on the right track. Keep going and good luck!
Noooo you're not being too harsh at all! I love crits like this! You're right about the line work. I suppose a lot of times I like to comment in other people's sketchbook is because I want to help but I can't always!! Since usually they're of a higher level than I am! Yesss, I think his crit was top notch, and I'm learning from his advice as much as possible! I'll be doing a warm up, then I'm doing some Andrew Loomis Head studies!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Sketchbook --I'd love some feedback!
Also I did this earlier today!
Sketchbook --I'd love some feedback!
Hiya! Thanks for commenting on my SB.
When first beginning, the best advice I can give you is to learn the basics of perspective drawing and also ... draw from life! Though it seems counter intuitive sometimes, knowing how to make a nice still life is intimately connected to knowing how to produce a good portrait. Similarly, if you plan on doing anything "from imagination", then perspective drawing is super super important. It'll give you that framework from which to work from.
All in all, if you want to improve at a fast rate... sketch often and draw what you see around you. Get your friends and family to pose for you or just draw them when they aren't looking. Sketch stuff from around your room. Don't try to spend hours and hours on any individual piece. Draw something for a bit and then move onto the next piece. Not getting too attached to your work is a great lesson to learn. If you continue to draw, you'll produce literally thousands of drawings.
A last little bit of advice when it comes to "life drawing"... worry more about what's going on in front of your paper (ie your subject matter). When you begin to understand what you're drawing, your ability to translate that knowledge to 2D will improve. Don't be afraid to produce an "ugly" drawing. It's all part of the learning process!
Hope this is at least a little helpful... good luck!
Sketchbook --I'd love some feedback!
Hi guys! Sorry I went on a mini-hiatus again! Mostly because I haven't been doing like a ton of studies for a bit because I was going through harder times, when I usually do bigger pieces that help me emotionally rather than try to become better art wise! Though the pieces actually did end up helping so I'm not complaining! XD Anywho, here are the bigger pieces (some of them not pieces, but idk):
And, here are the sketches and studies:
Sketchbook --I'd love some feedback!
I can really see your efforts into those characters. They have great expression but one thing to keep in mind is form. They look flat. Another tip is to think about line quality. When you're drawing, try to make less lines instead of scratching them into the canvas. With time, patience and practice you will get there. Just focus on absorb the fundamentals. Perspective, Proportions, Placement, Planes and Patterns. just to cite a few. Have you tried Loomis yet? If not, you totally should look at it: http://alexhays.com/loomis/
Keep improving!
Im watching
Thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, I actually have Loomis' head and hands downloaded, and the faces/heads I had up there were from practicing the different shapes, front-on! But I'll practice more from the book. Thanks for stopping by and hope you stop in again soon!

By Victor Ho
If you don't have a loyalty program, you're not taking advantage of your happiest customers. Here's how to get started.
Marketing your small business is easier said than done. Maybe you've tried Google AdWords or created a Facebook page but were disappointed with the results or complexity. You may have considered daily deals but realized that selling products at negative gross margin to one-time customers is not a winning combination. So what's your next move?
There are no silver bullets in marketing, but I learned one important lesson from the Fortune 500 clients I consulted for at McKinsey--the power of customer loyalty. For many small businesses, loyalty marketing may be the only marketing they need, because it builds upon their greatest asset: their most satisfied customers. Bain & Company famously wrote that it costs 6 to 7 times more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. Though you probably can't invest in loyalty like a Fortune 500 company would, there are steps small businesses can take to begin loyalty marketing.
First, invest in service. Zappos pioneered the mantra that customer service is the new marketing. An American Express study showed that 70 percent of Americans would spend more with companies they believe provide excellent customer service. Service is the strength of most small businesses, so you should be able to do this well immediately.
Second, build a robust loyalty program that:
I was chatting with a friend recently who said that he wished his favorite pizza shop around the corner had a "frequent flyer program." Shortly thereafter, they rolled out a digital loyalty platform, and now that he's earning rewards, he loves his shop even more. That love is likely to translate into 30 percent more visits over the course of a few months. And what did the pizza shop owner have to invest to get this return? A few free pizzas.

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 shoulder of lamb, weighing about 1.6kg, lightly scored

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. In a small bowl, mix the molasses with the cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. Scatter the onion over a casserole dish or a deep roasting tin. Place the lamb on top of the onions. Pour the glaze over the lamb. Rinse the bowl out with about 200ml water, then pour it around – not over – the lamb.
- Cover the dish with a lid or the tin with a large piece of foil. Roast the lamb, undisturbed, for 3 hrs, then remove the lid or foil and continue to roast for 30 mins to give the lamb colour. When the lamb has had its time, pour off the juices, remove as much fat as possible, then pour the juices back over the lamb.
- Just before serving, gently toss all the salad ingredients together. Serve the lamb with its sauce, the salad and some warmed flatbreads.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, January 2010
Comments, questions and tips
Oh dear, where did I go wrong? I cooked it as instructed but it was awful! The meat was too dry to eat and the juice was bitter and looked like black tar, had to soak the dish for ages to get it off! I know my cooker is a bit fearce so I had it at 120c but it must still have been too hot! The dog will be eating lamb for a few days and we ended up with a takeout curry!!
My family loved this recipe. I didn't have pomegranate molasses, so I pureed and strained the seeds and juice of a large pomegranate (reserving some for the salad) and cooked in a small saucepan until I had 4 tablespoons worth of concentrate. After cooking the lamb for required time, I poured off most of the liquid in the baking pan and reduced it by cooking over high flame for a 10-15 mins to serve with the lovely tender lamb. Next time I would add less than 200ml of water which was added to the baking dish at the start.
I added some fresh mint, couscous and toasted walnuts to the watercress salad to bulk it out a bit.
Slight variation- very delicious - squeeze a lemon and rub over lamb shoulder before covering with mixture of
4 tbsp pomegranate molasses ( made from a bottle of Pom, sugar and lemon juice)
1 tbsp olive oil,
1.5 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
4 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
All 11 (adults and kids) loved it!
Made this for a dinner party last night. Amazing! Everyone came back for seconds. One thing I would say though is that I had two pieces of shoulder and doubled up all the other ingredients and it was only just enough for 7 (admittedly with two helpings!) so if you want to be sure you have enough make sure you have fewer people or more lamb.
I made it with the jewelled cous cous, absolutely scrummy and very recommended.
Absolutely right about Sainsburys. Even the small Sainsburys here in Helston keeps it along with Moroccan preserved lemons.
Although sugar molasses or honey may make an interesting dish, Pomegranate Molasses is quite a different product. More of a concentrated cordial, full of complex flavours and aromas. It is worth having and can be used in all sorts of lamb and chicken dishes. It keeps forever and needs no refrigeration!
I made this using three small cuts of lamb shoulder. I left out the cumin as I had ran out and placed the lamb on a bed of potatoes as opposed to onions. Put it in at lunchtime, went back to work and came home to a delicious aroma. I actually let the lamb rest and then cut it into cubes and made a pitta bread sandwich with salad and houmous. Very nice indeed.

Stephen A. Smith rants on ties in hockey, which don't exist anymore
Monday's daytime SportsCenter thankfully didn't spend the entire morning on the Harlem Shake, but they did deliver inanity in spades once again. This time it was resident debating expert Stephen A. Smith comparing the impressive streaks of the Miami Heat and the Chicago Blackhawks.
no commentsDennis Rodman defends Kim Jong-un, gets grilled by George Stephanopoulos
There exists this strange phenomenon in which some of America's biggest enemies are, rather accidentally, also big fans of American culture. Osama bin Laden had a thing for Whitney Houston and enjoyed Pepsi and Coke. Saddam Hussein was apparently a big fan of "Little House on the Prairie." Kim Jong-il was seemingly obsessed with the American film industry.
Those three are dead, but one of America's prime living enemies, Kim Jong-un, is apparently a big basketball fan. And as a result, former NBA star Dennis Rodman now has more first-hand knowledge of the North Korean leader's personal life than arguably anyone else in America.

Jay Bilas seems fun. He tweeted out this picture Friday night in advance of GameDay's coverage of the UCLA/Arizona game.
We don't often see ESPN analysts tweeting pictures of themselves, let alone with an entire cheerleading squad, let alone wearing a white tuxedo. It is nice to see Bilas is not taking himself too seriously and is obviously having some fun. Work hard. Play hard. Swag. Jay Bilas has gotta go to work.
no commentsCould Keith Olbermann Actually Return to ESPN???
"He didn't burn bridges here, he napalmed them."
That quote from an ESPN spokesman described Keith Olbermann's departure from the Worldwide Leader. From 1992 until 1997, Olbermann's time at ESPN was memorable for launching two platforms, Radio and the Deuce, co-hosting the 11 p.m. ET SportsCenter with Dan Patrick and plenty of funny "This is SportsCenter" promos. But that time was also known for many internal battles between Olbermann and management as described in two tomes, "Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN" co-authored by James Andrew Miller and Thomas Shales, "ESPN: The Uncensored History" by Mike Freeman, and by Dan Patrick on his syndicated radio show.
no commentsCraziest buzzer beater of the year produces crazy reactions all around
There's viral buzzer beater videos, and then there's HOLY $#!& DID YOU SEE THAT BUZZER BEATER?!?!?! videos. This falls in the latter category. It's already traveled around the globe a few million times and landed at the top of SportsCenter. To get you caught up, New Rochelle beats Mount Vernon in a New York Class AA tournament sectional final on a half court shot from Khalil Edney. Here's what stands out from the clip:
1) The MSG Varsity announcing crew of Keith Irizarry and Kevin Devaney Jr. did an incredible job with one of the wildest scenes imaginable in a basketball game. To consider all that happened in those final 3 seconds, and then stay on top of the action, decisions, replays, and madness taking place is a job well done.
2) It's not quite this memorable scene, but you don't see both teams celebrate victory at the end of the game 30 feet away from each other every day.
3) The officials count the basket after a not-so-lengthy discussion and then SPRINT towards the locker room. Amazingly, without a monitor, they got the call right down to a tenth of a second.
4) Did we learn nothing from Michael Ruffin's boner?

Remember during the Daytona 500 coverage last month on Fox when Erin Andrews took a stroll down pit road to find Danica Patrick for an interview only to find 50 Cent? And remember that awkard attempt at a kiss from Fiddy that Erin shut down? It was the rage of the internet before the race began.
Well, Erin Andrews is taking the blame saying it was her fault for that awkward moment. TMZ caught up with her at an airport (it seems TMZ's people are always staking out airports) and she explained Fiddy went one way for the kiss and she turned another while Fox's producers were screaming for her to get Danica for the interview. She explains here in this video.
no commentsCablevision-Viacom spat could have far-reaching implications for sports media
A new antitrust lawsuit could set the table for cable companies to shake loose the bundles of channels being sold to them by sports content providers.
This week, Cablevision filed suit against Viacom in federal court in New York, charging that Viacom's practice of "block booking" its channels constitutes a violation of antitrust law. Block booking refers to a tactic that is commonplace among sports media such as ESPN and Fox, too - bundling together packages of channels to sell to cable companies, rather than negotiating separate deals for each individual channel.

Cluster bomb's 'humanitarian' alternative
As with landmines and napalm, cluster munitions are decidedly politically incorrect, and there is a concerted international effort to ban them. Problem is, they're highly effective, and countries that actually fight wars, like the U.S. and Russia, are loath to give them up.
However, a "humanitarian" version of the "cluster bomb" may head-off some objections to their continued production, or at least provide cover for those who want to keep them in the inventory. Billed as safer alternative to cluster munitions, Sensor fuzed weapons (SFW) contain independent self-destruct features based on altitude, time elapsed, … Read more

An excerpt from Pro Bono: The 18-Year Defense of Caril Ann Fugate by Jeff McArthur (Bandwagon Books). An account of how her trial lawyer – who believed in her innocence – continued to represent her for free until she was paroled in 1976. In 1959, 19-year-old Charlie Starkweather was convicted of murdering 11 people. He was sentenced to death. Caril Fugate, his 14-year-old ex-girlfriend was convicted in a separate trial and sentenced to life.

An interview with writer Erik Larson conducted by Donna Seaman and published in the recently released book True Crime: Real-Life Stories of Abduction, Addiction, Obsession, Murder, Grave-Robbing and More. Among other books, Larson is the author of The Devil in the White City, Thunderstruck, and In the Garden of Beasts.
What sort of writer devotes himself to portraying scrupulously the vilest of criminals in works of intensely researched creative nonfiction? You might expect a brooding sort, with an aura of menace and obsession. How about a tall, fit, impeccably attired, articulate and bemused man as quick to spar as he is to joke? Enter Erik Larson.

Dr. Arthur Warren Waite
Dr. Arthur Warren Waite was a consummate fake. Everything about him, including being a dentist, was a fake. A gold digger par excellence, he married into the Pecks of Grand Rapids family with a plan to murder the entire lot and inherit its considerable fortune.
by Robert Walsh
Look at the photograph and ask yourself 'What kind of man was he?' Handsome? Attractive? Smartly dressed? Perhaps very plausible to anyone who didn't know him very well? Maybe he looks superficially charming with a witty, entertaining, debonair approach that men admire and women find difficult to resist.
Dr. Arthur Warren Waite had all of these character traits. He was also a textbook psychopath who figured that if all his in-laws should pass away his wife would become a very wealthy woman and, not long after, Waite himself would be a very merry widower.

Carl Wanderer's precipitous drop from a highly decorated World War I hero to a philandering murderer – who might or might not have been either a pedophile or a closeted homosexual – shocked Chicago and ushered in an era of widespread cynicism and urban violence.
by Benjamin Welton
The past always seems better – more assured, more comfortable, more secure – from the vantage point of the present. This is partially a time issue. We in the present cannot truly see the future, so a sense of "what's next" lingers over us with various degrees of anxiety. Nostalgia, which derives from a Greek language compound meaning a painful longing for a homecoming, is an easy retreat for the fearful as well as the ignorant. Even those who should know better utter such phrases as "it was better long ago."

Private Henry Tandey
Private Henry Tandey, England's most decorated World War I hero, took mercy on a wounded German soldier and let him live. On the eve of World War II, Tandey found out the life he spared was that of Corporal Adolph Hitler.
by David Robb
It was an act of mercy that led to the greatest crime of the 20th century and perhaps the greatest crime in human history – the Holocaust. This horrible act of mercy was committed on a battlefield in France in 1918 by one of the bravest men in British history – a young soldier named Henry Tandey, who would go on to become England's most decorated hero of World War I.
Private Tandey had fought at the First Battle of Ypres in Belgium in October 1914, was wounded two years later during the Battle of the Somme, and again at Passchendaele in November 1917. That same year, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his determined bravery at Vaulx Vraucourt on August 28, and the Military Medal for heroism at Havincourt on September 12.
A year later, he was awarded the Victoria Cross – Britain's highest award for gallantry – for his conspicuous bravery at the Battle of Marcoing. But it was there, on September 28, 1918, at this little village in northern France, that Tandey's horrible act of mercy changed the world for the worse in ways that no one could have ever imagined. It was a moment of compassion that would cost the lives of millions of people.

Each year in the United States corrections system, roughly 200,000 men, women, and children inmates are sexually abused, sometimes by fellow inmates, too often by the very guards charged to protect them. This is the story of one woman rape victim who stood up for herself.
by Avi McClelland-Cohen
Each year in the United States corrections system, roughly 200,000 men, women, and children inmates are sexually abused, sometimes by fellow inmates, too often by the very guards charged to protect them. Despite the disturbing prevalence of this sort of violence, only recently has legislation, such as the 2003 Prison Rape Elimination Act, been introduced to curb this epidemic.
In 1996, Michelle Ortiz joined the statistic of those sexually abused in prison when she was raped by a male corrections officer at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville, Ohio. The guard, Douglas Shultz, entered Ortiz's cell on the night of November 7, forcibly touched her, and issued a threat: "I'll get you tomorrow, watch."
Ortiz reported the assault to Paula Jordan, the cottage manager at the reformatory, but Jordan was dismissive. She told Ortiz that Shultz was "just a dirty old man," and that he was being transferred out of the reformatory. The next night, however, Shultz kept his word; on November 8, he returned to the cell where Ortiz was sleeping and raped her.

A forensics first occurred in 2008 in Tasmania when DNA harvested from a leech led police to a robber.
by Liz Porter
On a late spring afternoon in 2001, two intruders broke into a house in bushland outside the small town of Launceston, in the Australian island state of Tasmania.
The men had apparently heard that the place was a soft target: It had a safe, which suggested money, and firearms – and it was occupied by an elderly couple. Donning black hoods and arming themselves with sticks, the men broke in, finding pensioner Fay Olson alone and terrified.
Forcing her to open the safe, the men stole $500 and a further $50 from the 70-year-old's handbag. Then, grabbing a belt and tracksuit pants, the men tied their victim up and left.

The People's Will, organized in 1879, employed terrorism and assassination in their attempt to overthrow Russia's czarist autocracy. They murdered officials and made several attempts on the czar's life before finally succeeding.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 3 Answers 1 vote Best answer 1) at lvl 35 2) at lvl 39 in the daytime 3) Maximum bond in Pokemon Amie Source answered Oct 13, 2013 by Pikamaster selected Oct 13, 2013 by Charizardtrainer123 Thank you very much np Charizard Sylveon also (apparently) needs a Fairy move in its moveset during level up. Why is that does it have any fairy moves in its move pool I just want a Sylveon. Eevee learns Baby Doll Eyes via level up. Again, this is apparent. Maybe it doesn't need a Fairy move, but I read it somewhere which also mentioned maximum bond on Amie, so I think it's worth keeping Baby Doll Eyes on Eevee just to be sure. Yeah true. Amie.... Gamefreak went way overboard with the French Theme... for sylveon only 2 hearts in happiness and with a fairy move Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Fletchinder evolves at level 35. Tyrunt evolves at level 39 during daytime. To evolve Eevee into Sylveon, you need maximum Affection AND Enjoyment in Pokémon-Amie. This is best accomplished by spamming Poké Puffs until your Eevee won't eat any more, play mini-games to increase it's hunger, then repeat the process. It will take roughly an hour to max all stats. Your Eevee also needs to know a Fairy Type move. If you breed an Eevee, it will learn a Fairy Type move at level 9. If you catch one in the wild on Route 10, it will have a Fairy Type move if it is exactly level 19. If you catch a wild Eevee at a higher level, it will learn a Fairy Type move at level 29. Furthermore, Eevee is compatible with many Fairy Type move TMs. If your Pokémon-Amie stats are maxed, Eevee will evolve into Sylveon on the same level he learns a Fairy Type move. If you teach it a Fairy Type move with a TM, level it up once after. answered Oct 19, 2013 by Melvin Ishtar Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes i have a sylveon, all you need is a fairy type move (baby doll eyes) or (charm) and two hearts at least in Pokemon amie.

GANGSTAGRASS with Special Guests The Walkaways, and Wes Tucker & The Skillets
"A mixture of bluegrass and hip-hop that might repel some purists on either side of the country-and-rap divide, but will knock the socks off just about everybody else."
– The Wall Street Journal
Low down honky tonk meets block rockin' beats as Artisphere brings back the unique musical fusion that is Gangstagrass. Gangstagrass was born from the musical mind of creator Rench, who was reared on pure bluegrass and country at home while break dancing at his grade school yard. This Brooklyn-based band mixes bluegrass and rap and has quite possibly forged an entirely new and modern genre of utterly American music. Though the band name may not be readily known to some, many already know their sound as their song "Long Hard Times To Come," which is the theme song that opens every episode of the FX hit Justified and was nominated in 2010 for an Emmy as the "Best Theme Song."
Joining Gangstagrass is beloved DC roots-rock group, The Walkaways, and the local funk inspired Americana group Wes Tucker & The Skillets.

Sat Mar 29 / 8pm / $18 / Dome Theatre
Sultry, seductive and infused with that inimitable samba swing, the music of Luísa Maita embodies the modern spirit of Brazil. Inspired by the bustling urban life found in her native city of São Paulo, Lero-Lero has a contemporary vibe with influences from alternative pop and downtempo electronic music melded with an acoustic foundation deeply rooted in samba, bossa nova and MPB. Fans of Bebel Gilberto, Céu and Seu Jorge will find much to love in Luísa Maitas tropical, forward-looking sound, and her sensual yet soulful voice begs comparisons with everyone from Billie Holiday and Sade to Feist, St. Vincent and Cat Power. Hailing from a country overflowing with musical talent, Luísa Maita rises above the fray as one of the most promising young singers of her generation.
After the release of her first album Lero-Lero in the US, NPR's All Things Considered called Luísa "The New Voice of Brazil."Her first North American tour in 2010 was well-received with reviews in The New York Times, The Washington Post and Boston Globe. In Brazil, the album made the list of best albums of 2010 – in both Veja and Rolling Stone Brasil. In July 2011, Luísa received the award for Best New Artist in the twenty-second edition of the renowned Brazilian Music Award.

The three-time Grammy-nominated Cuban music group Tiempo Libre is on a mission to share their musical heritage with as wide an audience as possible, reinterpreting and reinvigorating traditional Cuban music with a youthful, modern sound and forging a new style born from the meeting of their Cuban roots and their new American experience. Equally at home in concert halls, jazz clubs and dance venues, Tiempo Libre's Miami-based members are true modern heirs to the rich tradition of the music of their native Cuba. Classically trained at Cuba's premier conservatories, today the group is a hit in the U.S. and abroad, celebrated for its sophisticated performances of timba, a joyous mix of high-voltage Latin jazz and the seductive rhythms of son.
In only a three-year time span, Tiempo Libre was nominated for three Grammys-once for Best Salsa/Meringue Album, and twice for Best Latin Tropical Album. The Miami New Times named them the "Best Latin Band of 2008." Their latest album, My Secret Radio, and the inspiring story behind it, has been featured on Fox News' Real American Stories, CNN en Español, PRI's The World, Mega TV's Bayly and in Mother Jones and People En Español.

"BélO's versatile guitar work and slightly raspy, soulful voice have made a fan of me."
—John Oseid, Condé Nast Traveler
"BélO is a socially-minded, Haitian-born singer-songwriter powerfully delivering jazz and world beat inflected reggae in French and Creole."
—The Huffington Post
Haitian artist BélO has been hailed as one of Haiti's musical ambassadors to the world. He uses his music to expose societal and environmental issues Haiti faces while displaying a great passion for his homeland. A socially conscious singer-songwriter with a sophisticated sound, BélO has received numerous awards, including "Best Male Artist 2007" by the Haitian Music Awards and the prestigious "Prix Radio France International Discoveries of 2006." BélO's sound is a beautiful mixture of jazz, worldbeat, rock, reggae and Afro-Haitian traditional rhythms known as Ragganga.
Since the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, BélO's primary focus has been to create awareness for his country through performances around the world. The belief that surviving hardship makes us more resilient is what inspired Haiti Debout, his latest album. BélO has also always been very committed to social and environmental causes in Haiti and around the world and has performed and conducted seminars at many venues across America sponsored by Center Stage, a public diplomacy initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

"Something you must experience if you're a fan of awesome!"
"Great fun! [A] happily retro multimedia extravaganza!"
-The New York Post
Writer, Director and Producer, Jason Neulander, and his collaborators have created a live-action graphic novel in celebration of 1930's radio serials, comic book culture, Star Wars and every other adventure story you loved as a child (or adult!).
The premise is simple: a period adventure story (with no small share of laughs) featuring Pulitzer-winning reporter Molly Sloan, her intrepid assistant Timmy Mendez, and a mysterious librarian named Ben Wilcott as they face the most serious threat Earth has ever known: an impending invasion of sludge monsters from the planet Zygon.
The telling is what makes the experience of The Intergalactic Nemesis so incredibly unique: while three actors, one Foley artist, and one keyboardist perform all the voices, sound effects and music, more than 1,000 hand-drawn, full-color, hi-rez, blow-your-mind comic-book images blast from the screen, all performed LIVE.
When The Intergalactic Nemesis Live-Action Graphic Novel premiered in 2010, more than 2,100 people turned out. Shortly thereafter, it was featured on NPR and Conan O'Brien. About to launch into its third touring season, the production has performed in more than 80 venues around the US, UK, and Canada, including a run at the New Victory Theatre on Broadway and sold out performances at the Kennedy Center. This one-of-a-kind all-ages show is not to be missed.

The Lifecycle Retirement Income Fund seeks high total return over time primarily through income, with a secondary emphasis on capital appreciation. The fund invests according to a relatively stable asset allocation strategy and is designed for investors who are already in or entering retirement. The fund invests in several underlying equity and fixed-income funds offered by the TIAA-CREF Funds. Currently, its target allocation consists of an equity/fixed-income mix of 40%/60%. The fund may deviate from these target allocations by up to 10% depending upon current market conditions and outlook.

Morningstar is an independent service that rates mutual funds and variable annuities.
For each fund/account with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's/account's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Where applicable, Morningstar's performance rankings are based on linked performance that considers the differences in expense ratios, while actual performance data shown does not reflect such differences.
The top 10 percent of funds/accounts in a category receive five stars, the next 22.5 percent receive four stars, and the next 35 percent receive three stars, the next 22.5 percent receive two stars and the bottom 10 percent receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund/account within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Morningstar proprietary ratings on U.S.-domiciled funds/accounts reflect historical risk-adjusted performance, are subject to change every month. They are derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

Comments about COLUMBIA Men's Lhotse Mountain II Interchange Jacket:
I hate ordering things online without knowing the size as I'm 6'1", 175 lbs (38-40 chest)and I'm always stuck with needing large for length and medium for width. Ordered the medium and it fits great - snug without being constricting and the sleeves are a good length too. So far I've haven't had much of a chance to use in extreme weather, but in when it has dropped below freezing it has been very warm. I the rain, the water has just beaded off. I also really like the ability to just use the down jacket on its own. Very warm and looks great. Pocket placement is perfect on both jackets. Definitely happy with my purchase, especially since I got it on sale.

Comments about COLUMBIA Men's Lhotse Mountain II Interchange Jacket:
This jacket is so warm, yet I don't seem to get overheated if I have it on in the car. The sizing was right on. The only thing I haven't decided if I like are the wrist cuffs - they can make it more difficult than I would like to take the jacket off.

DIY China Cabinet
23 comments:
Popped in from YHL...... absolutely love it! I am sincerely regretting sending my very similar china cabinet to the thrift store a few months ago when I moved into my new home. I didn't think it would match the modern decor but how sad am I now to see that with a bit of hard work, an outdated cabinet can match any decor!!! Congrats on an amazing job and LOVE the china set!
ReplyDeleteFound you from Young House Love...the china cabinet looks wonderful! Can you tell me how you sanded in some of the nooks and crannies that were on the detailed portions of the cabinet? We inherited my husband's ancient bedroom furniture for our guest bedroom, and I would love love love to paint it white, but everyone keeps telling me I'm crazy and it's not possible because there is too much detail. I'd love to know if you had a special trick or if you just went for it!
ReplyDelete- Lynne12 August 2010 09:51
Popped over from YHL. I think everyone else has already said everything I was thinking. I'm not a blue fan yet I think that particular shade on the textured wallpaper is quite lovely.
ReplyDelete Wow! Absolutely beautiful cabinet and china! I found your blog link on Young House Love and went on to read a few more of your posts. You fiber work is beautiful. I also noticed you have a painting by Sara Caracristi. I love her work too. I have a gallery in Winnipeg so I'm always looking at artists & artwork online. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI saw your cabinet over at YHL and I had to come over to your site to see more. You guys did a wonderful job. I really love the finished look and the wallpaper is just devine. Great job and inspiration. I will have to come back again soon to see what you are up to.
thanks for sharing!
Erikatanis: i'm so tickled! i found your site via YHL while hunting online for advice on painting the interior of our china cabinet. one of my considerations was whether to use my favorite eggshell blue since our cabinet will house our VILLEROY & BOCH AUREUS CHINA! i absolutely loved hearing your story, and we registered for it with a very similar mindset. kudos on such a fabulous undertaking and gorgeous result! and many thanks: this is JUST what a needed to see, and it's fun to know that someone else out there is delighting in their aureus china *and* cabinet too!
