I really like your color palette. It's nice and warm, ties the page together, and since brown is normally associated with older times, it gives the comic a sense of being in another time. And the coloring itself is so smooth. ^_^

Thanks for the comment:) Hope you enjoy the comic.

Heyyyy-that wasn't about crayons. That wasn't about crayons at all! Now I have to go and find crayon based fan-fiction :(
Kuroni (Guest), 15 Jun 2012 08:29 pm
Question. Is this related in any way to "Goblins" the webcomic revolving around the same concept?
Turnip (Guest), 30 Jun 2012 10:05 am
Cheap swindle! The fuck? Where's the gnoll babe in the adlink? This is tauren manure!
peteranckorn, 30 Jun 2012 10:26 am
She's in the comic-just keep on read'n. I think pg 13 of chapter 2 is her first appearance(if you want to zoom straight to the good stuff ;)). You can also see more of her in the bonus chapter (see my own site-link in my profile info). All my ad links are taken from actual comic pages though-not made just to lure people in. Certainly not a swindle-whilst there is a lot of T&A in this comic I'm afraid there are a few pages where everyone is modestly dressed. I apologise for this whole heartedly ;)
Arcane Howitzer (Guest), 05 Jul 2012 06:14 pm
Smashing! I took one look at the guy in the armor, and immediately thought "Nigel Thornberry!" Did that happen to anyone else?
peteranckorn, 06 Jul 2012 07:19 am
That voice could work for him :)-Tim Curry, wasn't it?
Ajedi32 (Guest), 08 Sep 2012 02:03 pm
Oh, this looks like an interesting webcomic. Hey... wait a minute, haven't I seen this story concept somewhere before? It seems awfully similar to "Goblins".
inversia, 13 Sep 2012 10:54 am
Interchange I'll watch your comic, why don't go to see mine either? xD
peteranckorn, 13 Sep 2012 11:38 am
Sounds good-I'll take a look :)

Oh we're having the 'Goblins' conversation again? Check the archives. This is old meme. The 'Goblins' creator weighed in and said BTB was cool and everything....although I couldn't help but notice this comic has PICTURES! Other comics have PICTURES. rip. off.

Man accused of pointing gun at deputies arrested
FORESTDALE, Ala. (AP) — Jefferson County Sheriff's officials say a man has been charged with attempted murder for pointing a gun at three deputies.
Sheriff's spokesman Randy Christian says a woman called to report a domestic dispute Thursday and said her 24-year-old husband Jason Allen Hill assaulted her. She told authorities Hill also threatened their son.
Authorities say the woman drove to a substation and left the boy in his crib in her rush to get away from Hill.
Christian says deputies found the boy unattended in his crib and Hill returned to the house while authorities were there. Christian says Hill pulled a gun when he was asked to put his hands up.
Hill is being held without bond in the Jefferson County jail and it's unclear if he has an attorney.

Where I go to church we have some of the best cooks! I knew someone had the talent because cooking is not my strongest forte. Every week there is a family meal on Wednesday and mouth watering foods displayed on the long table of the Fellowship Hall. The desserts are eye-popping with aromas that tantalize some of the strongest of wills.
When confronted with situations such as these; what's a gal to do (or fella)? Chocolate, not just any ol' chocolate, makes me weak at the knees. You know the kind I'm talkin' about, oh yeah. I did really good cooking my food and taking it with me, making certain I had a treat of my own. This way I didn't miss out on visiting with all my friends before the lesson of the night. I didn't even gander over at the dessert display. People do sit with you, oh yes, with platefuls of dessert and then it happens.... yummy rich, decadent chocolate that resonates with flavor and you haven't even put it in your mouth!
Game Plan time. Yes, I held to my willpower and plan. I didn't fall to the temptation even though I was yearning to. I may have not been able to be as successful the next time. I have chosen to not attend the dinner. I eat at home and get to the Fellowship Hall just about the time I'm fairly certain many of the people have cleared their plates away. This gives me several minutes to say hi and enjoy my friends and maybe meet some new ones before the lesson begins. This plan is working for me.
Most of the people in my life are supportive and are helpful. I have friends who are extremely active and burn more fat and calories than they put in and sometimes they forget, but it isn't on purpose, so a kind answer or reminder is sufficient. I have other friends who eat for all the wrong reasons and this is where they are in life. I avoid being around during snack and food times. That way I protect me and I don't offend them. I love those around me and those I come into contact with too much to want to bring an unnecessary offense to their lives or hurt them in any way. I believe they return that love.
In reading the tips today of how to reply with a kind answer on "food pushers" I have come up with a couple more ideas from that and I am building my arsenal should I ever need it.
Continuing Onward and Upward...
Here's to Sparkin' with you!
Inspired and intrigued by the challenges SparkPeople has proposed to me through the coaching program I am moving onward. I have learned I do not have to do it all at once and even with the diseases and condition of my body I can "DO" and should. I feel better and more alive. There really are no limits to a body in motion; we can move on even though it may be one small step at a time.
I have learned to listen to my body and I am learning to pay attention to it so I may continue in my exercise the next day and keep moving. A body in motion is so much better than the alternative and SparkPeople is helping me acquire a 'CAN DO' mentality.
What motivated me to improve this body of mine is the loss of being able to do all those things I so enjoy. The last straw was the inability to weed my flower beds and plant beautiful flowers and shrubs. I am striving to build my body's health in such a way that I can get back to that. Who knows, maybe I will even get back to camping. All things are possible with a "CAN DO" attitude.
A moving and healthier me is my goal and I am already seeing a difference.
Here's Sprakin'!
Learning to pace myself and avoiding the temptation to over-do on a project is a challenging journey for me. It is one I find myself not fully successful at as yet. I have not given up and I will continue to pursue a healthy balance. In fact, I have placed a timer in the one room I tend to have my little mishaps in. I am learning that the only time I truly fail is the one in which I would choose to quit trying. Since I continue to pick myself up and move forward, I am still in the running, (so to speak).
I do have my exercise room organized now; my timer is on the desk as a great reminder that the best progress is for Glo to move slow through one step at a time and the momentum of forward movement will continue with less down-time.
On the road to moving Onward and Upward.
In this virtual jaunt we have some lovely accommodations. I'm writing my blog from what I call a sunny veranda, a tall cool glass of mint tea by my side, (with an umbrella of course and a sprig of fresh mint for garnish), and reclining with my laptop propped up.
Varied were our excursions today consisting of a leisurely walk through Perth, strolling on the beach, swimming and sunbathing with the sea lions, not to mention swimming with the dolphins and visiting the penguins. Don't tell anyone but I did sneak a sardine or two in. A most appreciative penguin slid right in a gobbled it up before the others took notice. I'm not too certain about the snorkeling, I saw mostly sea weed but there is always next time. Oh the secrets those dolphins shared. Oh what's that? No, no, I can't say a word, I was sworn to secrecy; certainly can't break a confidence like that.
With all this virtual activity, I actually accomplished my warm up, stretch, got in 500 steps today, made lunch, and cleaned dishes.
Spark on!
It's been a busy week with acute pain and I'm trying to follow the doctor's orders, so that means the exercise gets cut back to light stretching. On the up-swing, I've not been retiring to bed and I am continuing to move around. Sparkpeople has been instrumental in this positive mode.
Tracking my stress level in Stress Busters is helping me discover where my stressors are. I am reminded of something I've heard termed as The Serenity Prayer where it states changing the things I can change and accepting those things I can't change. The latter is a difficult challenge for me. I need some work in that area. Oh gee! I'm not perfect. lol I lost at perfectionism a long ways back. I have finally learned that to be an impossible goal, but one to make strides towards because I can always attempt to grow and do better. Sparkpeople is teaching me that too.
I am learning the goal in this journey to a healthier me is to do it one step at a time, but never quit. Any movement is better than no movement so this body continues to be a body in motion no matter how little and slow. Go with the flow Glo!
Continuing to Spark!

See you Soon!
Southwest Colorado is one of the most beautiful places in the country. Of course, I may be a little bit biased, but there are thousands of people who agree with me. Regardless of the time of year, there is something spectacular to be seen wherever you look. From abundant wildlife to breathtaking views, it is difficult to say what might be the best.
Winter in Ouray boasts a peaceful serenity. Snow falls for perhhaps a day or so, then the sun returns, shining brightly on the snow blanketed mountains and town. A sense of timelessness prevails, and the opportunities to capture feeling abound. Walk to the Box Canyon Falls, or the Ouray Ice Park to capture images of the Uncompahgre Gorge; ice, lines the sides of the canyon, and prisms of color glint in the crisp winter air. Ice climbers traverse the terrain in a spectacle of silent activity. From images of deer and elk grazing at the park, to the rainbow of colors in a frozen waterfall, there may not be enough memory in your camera!
Springtime in the Uncompahgres is a season of renewal and beauty. As the snow begins to thaw in the high country, seasonal waterfalls can be found virtually everywhere. The weather begins to warm and the world turns green and fresh. Wildflowers begin to blossom, and soon will envelope entire valleys in a spectrum of colors that must be seen to be believed. Yankee Boy Basin is one of the most popular areas for wildflower viewing and photography. Just a short drive from Ouray, yet worlds away, this valley has a little of everything. The Twin Falls are surrounded by shades of green with interspersing yellows, purples and reds from the flowers dotting the rivers edge. Between hills overflowing with color to the waterfall, this place is truly a photographers dream.
Summertime brings opportunities for exploration! As the four-wheel drive trails open, photographers are able to venture deep into the high country. The panoramic views above timberline give the impression of eternity. Explore old mines and ghost towns, capturing a taste of life in the early years in Southwest Colorado, as hardy settlers tamed the mountain. Marvel at the dramatic scenery as you travel over Imogene Pass, open only a few months out of the year, as the trail takes you from Ouray at 7500 feet to a peak of 13,000 feet before dropping back to 8,000 feet in Telluride. The variety of scenery, wildlife and history are sure to please any photographer.
Fall begins usually in mid to late September, and as the leaves change color, the entire landscape becomes a pallette of red and gold many a painter has tried to recreate. Drive The Million Dollar Highway from Ouray to Durango, hardly need to get out of the car to fill a memory card with images leaving you hungry for more. The Last Dollar Road travels from Dallas Divide, just outside of Ridgway to Telluride, and is one of the most beautiful drives at the peak of Fall Colors. Parts of the road travel through a grove of aspen; at certain times of the day, as the sunlight filters through the trees, with random leaves floating down from the heights, words cannot describe the surreal beauty.
It is difficult to settle on one specific time of year for capturing the beauty and majesty of the San Juans. Each season holds her own appeal, and it is up to you, the individual, to decide what you most desire. Once that decision has been made, book your next visit with us at the Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs, and Ouray will take care of the rest!

The Topaz DeNoise 5 Plug-In (Mac/Windows) from Topaz Labs LLC is a comprehensive noise-reduction program that works with Adobe Photoshop and several other popular image-editing software solutions. The plug-in employs proprietary IntelliNoise technology to remove the noise that obscures the detail and sullies the crispness of your images – without removing the detail itself.
For version 5, Topaz DeNoise adds dual-direction de-banding technology, which removes the long lines that extend across images and restores image color, detail, and integrity. The software also adds shadow-tone restoration. When noise is removed from images, a hazy color cast can appear, especially in shadow areas. The Correct Black Level parameter of DeNoise 5 returns the richness and true color to these darker tones.
Topaz DeNoise 5 not only repairs and enhances less-than-perfect images, but it also enables you to push past the usual technical limitations of your shooting. With DeNoise in your back pocket, you can confidently shoot faster, raising your ISO in the field without degrading the ultimate quality of your images. You can shoot up to four stops darker than you normally would at night or indoors, and DeNoise will reduce the low-light noise in post-production. You can also shoot indoors with a smaller aperture to keep all image elements in focus, and compensate by shooting at a higher ISO. Then reduce the resulting noise in DeNoise.
Topaz DeNoise works not only with Photoshop but also Photoshop Elements, Photo Impact, Irfanview, Serif Photo Plus, Aperture, iPhoto, PaintShop Pro, and Lightroom.
- Powered by proprietary IntelliNoise technology to optimally remove noise and recover detail. Optimally remove fixed, pattern, and random noise
- Quickly & effectively remove the noise that results from high ISO settings
- Shadow tone restoration to correct image black levels
- Remove horizontal and vertical banding noise
- Removes up to four stops of noise naturally and effectively
- Sharpens colors and edges
- Processing speed doubled over previous version
- Image size capability doubled over previous version

Loews Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
The combined ratio for the P&C operations, excluding catastrophe losses in prior year development, improved by nearly 3 points versus last year's second quarter. Also, the reported combined ratio improved by 4.3 points to 101.7 during the second quarter.
CNA continues to close the underwriting performance gap with its best-in-class competitors. There's more work to be done, and we look forward to CNA continuing its steady progress towards becoming a top-tier industry performer.
In July, CNA closed its acquisition of Hardy Underwriting, a specialized Lloyd's underwriter with a solid market reputation and a long history of disciplined underwriting. This acquisition will provide CNA with a key platform for international growth. Hardy's results would be included in CNA's and Loews' third quarter results.
Turning to Diamond Offshore and the offshore drilling market. Diamond had a solid quarter despite its net income being down by about $60 million versus last year's second quarter. The biggest driver of the decline was that Diamond had 5 rigs in the shipyard this quarter for the 5-year special surveys compared to none during the same period last year. It's worth mentioning that despite the drop in oil prices, the offshore drilling market continues to show real strength. We believe that Diamond is well positioned to take advantage of these market conditions, given its rig availability over the coming 2 to 3 years.Recent contracts signed by Diamond and other drillers for mid-water, deepwater and ultra-deepwater rigs indicate that demand is strong. Diamond continues to focus on modernizing its fleet. As a reminder, Diamond has 4 ultra-deepwater drillships under construction in Korea. Earlier in '09, Diamond purchased 2 ultra-deep waters semisubmersibles in bankruptcy options. And most recently, Diamond is reconstructing an older semisubmersible into a high spec drilling unit to be named the Ocean Onyx. The rig was recently awarded a 1-year contract at a rate of $490,000 per day to work in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico upon delivery from the shipyard in the third quarter of 2013.

September wallpaper
It's come around quick again but yep its that time of the month when I share one of my images with the world in the form of a desktop wallpaper.
This (or should that be next) months wallpaper is an image shot in Varanassi, India on my last visit. In fact thinking about it, it was shot about a month after I shot last months image of the Taj, so it seems kind of appropriate.
Instructions for use:
Click the link below that matches your screen resolution then right click the image and click 'Set as desktop background' or 'Use Image as Desktop Picture" on the Mac.
Painless no??

Another day, another festival – Tomatina
Today's festival shoot was Tomatina, the great tomato fight held near Valencia, Spain on the last Wednesday of August each year.
Now the day didn't go exactly as planned. Valencia is (or should be) about 5 hours from Barcelona. I had planned to get the bus very early in the morning, shoot the craziness, then come home.
What actually happened was the bus arrived over 2 and a half hours late which meant I was only able to catch the end of the festivities (which is actually when the better photos are to be had, the streets are ankle deep in tomatoes and people are just splashing around, also there's more space to move and compose things – so it wasn't a massive problem).
I take my shots, not as many as I'd hoped as people soon headed home. Then I wandered back to the bus for the return trip. Some hours later the bus then gets pulled over by the police delaying my arrival home by about an hour as well.
Needless to say it was a long day.
So I was still able to get a few nice shots that I thought I'd share with you seeing as so many people liked my Corre foc ones from the weekend.

Composition Series – Contrast
Now forgive me if I get a bit conceptual here but I think this is important and interesting too.
Contrast can take several forms in the creation of an image, the most obvious is contrast of light and that little slider we play with when processing our images (the technical term for this is apparently called 'chiaroscuro' Mitchell Kanashkevich explains more in an interesting blog post here). In actual fact this contrast is the relationship between highlights and shadows or light/dark, this contrast falls into the category of shape and form. Other contrasts that come under this category could be soft/hard, blurry /sharp, still/moving …………and the list continues, I think you get the idea.
But what about contrasts of conception? 'what are you taking about Tom..?'
Well take a concept, Ooh I don't know, 'Old', for example, the polar opposite would be 'New.' Now an image that contains the 2 extremes (both something old and something new), well that's adding a whole new level of complexity to your image. Something to make the view think about.
Let me give you an example:
Now this image shows a few conceptual contrasts the main one being the old sadhu with the new technology this for me is what makes the image, it makes the viewer wonder, 'who is he talking to?….. where does he charge it up when the batteries die?…..is it on a contract?…..'
In actual fact this shot was set up just as a bit of fun an interaction with a very interesting character, and I was fully aware of the contrast whilst shooting.

Composition Series – Rule of thirds
Ok so next in this series I thought I'd cover the so called 'rule of thirds'.
Now let me first say that as far as photography goes there are very few actual rules and don't be tricked into thinking that this is actually one of them. Its not. Its basically no more than a guideline, a pretty good one mind you – but still far from a rule. Its one of the first things that any budding photographer will learn, for good reason as I hope to show.
Basically imagine a grid what it split into thirds
Now what the rule of thirds
states suggests is that images look better when important elements are placed at either the one of the 4 connecting points, or along one of the lines. In the image below I puposly placed the young monks head at one of these imaginary points (not exactly, I know but remember it's not a rule : ) )so his body ran down the imaginary line
The crop below shows how the image could look if I place his face in the center of the image. I think you'll agree that by doing this I have created a more interesting composition.
This rule applies to all types of photography from architechture to portrait and wildlife and its something every photographer should be aware of, as it really does make a difference.
Apparently the rule of thirds goes way back to ancient Greek times and has been backed up by scientific studies. All I know is that it works and it works well. Not always, however, just check out my galleries and see how I blatantly break the rule to produce some of my best images.

Composition Series – Frame within a frame
This technique is probably one of the best ways to improve photography, so forget that new lens, or a new body with 11fps, and think more about what's going on in the frame.
Having a frame within a frame (if your not sure what I'm talking about check out the examples below, you'll soon catch up) not only focuses attention on a particular area of an image but also adds physical depth to the shot. It forces the view to look from though one layer into another. This is important because lets not forget what the process of photography is actually doing, its taking a 3 dimensional subject and recording it in a 2 dimensional format.
In the example above the internal frame is created by the blue and yellow ribbons and draws more attention to the young monks face than, which is the main point of interest in this shot (for me at least).
Now the internal frame can be anything, any shape, recognisable or not. Below are a few more examples.
Now if your clever, and I know at least some of you are, the frame doesn't have to join up. For example a frame can be made up by 3 lines of a square and the 4th line is implied.
See what I mean?
So that's the basics of frames within frames, of course like anything this technique can be over used and become some kind of cliché, but that's just evidence that it works.Show Comments (1)

Composition Series – frame format
Continuing on from my previous post on cropping, I think its helpful to look at the shape of a frame and how different formats effects the feel of the final image. Until the digital photography revolution took hold the standard aspect ratio was 3:2 as that was the ratio of the 35mm film frame (36x24mm) other larger formats were, and still are, used (Hey even I had a medium format film camera some years back). Nowadays digital cameras are not limited by the size and shape of film and therefore camera manufactures are producing other formats, particularly 4:3 which fits better onto traditional printing papers.
Below is an example that shows the 4:3 ratio in colour aginst the 3:2 ratio
Now different people claim different ratios are 'better'. Personally I believe it depends on the final usage, and I'm used to and comfortable shooting 3:2, not sure I would be some comfortable shooting either panoramic (1:3 or similar) the square (1:1) ratio. While the panoramic format lends itself naturally to landscape photography, I'm unsure where else it could have a regular use. The crop below looks slightly off balance to me, although I still quite like something about it.
The square ratio is probably the most difficult format to use as most subjects just don't lend themselves very well to the rigid square shape, most objects are longer in one direction and therefore would be more suitable in a rectangular format. Heres a crop using the 1:1 ratio.
I imagine many photographers who use cameras with a 1:1 ratio will end up cropping most of there images to better suit the shape of the subject.
Shooting vertically
Of course all cameras, apart from those with a 1:1 ratio, can be shot vertically therefore giving you 2 ratios to explore (ie a 3:2 camera shot vertically gives you a 2:3 ratio, similarly a 4:3 cemera will give a 3:4 ratio). Most portraits are shot vertically as the human form lends itself to that. Also many stock photography shooters will shoot images as verticals as they will fit better on a magazine or a book cover and that's where the big money is, or was.
As you can see from one subject you can achieve many different feels to the final image based solely on the aspect ratio of the camera you're using. Obviously not everyone, if anyone, has a camera bag full of different format cameras, so I'll let you off by cropping in Photoshop just this once.
End of part 2 of the Composition Series check back next week for part 3.
Over and out.Show Comments (4)

Composition Series – Cropping
Today marks the begining of a new series of blog posts about composition, not sure how many posts I'll be adding to this series – just see how things pan out. Well first off is the subject of cropping.
No matter how you look at it, cropping is a real skill.
Its not a new technique and was done long before Photoshop came to life, and is, at least for me, an important part of processing an image. Often when I shoot I think the composition is great, but after a few tweaks in Lightroom (where I do all most all of my editing and processing) I sometimes find that a different crop really enhances an image. Othertimes I shoot with the idea that the final image will need to be in a different format, to the 6×4 that my 1Ds MKII creates.
Its important that you don't get too caught up in the whole cropping during processing malarkey, try to shoot as close to the crop that you want to end up with, don't just think 'Oh..I'll fix it in lightroom' – that's just lame and its not helpful to think in such a back to front manner the image must come processing.
Below is an image of a young Thai monk standing in colourful ribbons. This is the original uncropped version with 4 shapes superimposed to show 4 different crops. All of would create a nice image (my personal favorite is the panoramic, although not always suitable) not that there was anything wrong with the original, it could nicely be used as a double page spread for a magazine. Its just cropping gives you an extra element to explore to improve the aesthetics of your image.
Let me know what your thoughts are on cropping or what you'd like me to cover in this series.Show Comments (2)

Office 2007 does have MSIs but doesn't support using them directly.
This is part of a move by MS to change the way software is deployed. A big problem with group policy deployment of software is that it can really slug network performance if you push out an MSI at machine startup to a large number of PCs.
You can silently install Office 2007 (and all the recent MS products) - you just have to put the right config.XML file in the same location as setup.exe and it will install silently (or in any way you want). Put the MSP files in the updates folder and they get installed as well (and this is how you customise the setup process)
For the future, you need to start using "Business Desktop Deployment" - details at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/l.../bb490308.aspx and when you've worked out how to do it, please let me know :-)

We've been having quite a discussion about Adam Morrison's tears after the horrible loss to
UCLA. I only have an inkling of how he felt, having lost important games at all levels of baseball and softball play, from Little League all-star into college. An inkling. I'd need a press pass to qualify to be anywhere near the level of game that Adam, J.P. and the rest of the Zags are routinely involved in. I can't remember crying. In fact, you can count the times that I've cried as an adult on one hand, twice involved the death of loved ones and once each as I dropped my kids off at college for the first time their freshmen years. It bothers me when I hear men talk about crying. Are they trying to show their galpals that they're sensitive? Or vulnerable? Do femmes like that sorta thing? It seems wussy to me. Bottom line? Men should be able to show strength and consideration without turning on the waterworks.

Since its founding in 2005, Charlotte School of Law has become a big presence in the city. Nearly 1,500 students go there, making it the largest law school in the state, by far. And as of this fall, theyre swarming around uptown taking 10 floors of a high rise.
Whats lesser known is that Charlotte School of Law is the states only private, for-profit law school. And while its students pay about as much in tuition as those at highly-ranked Wake Forest, Charlotte graduates have a much tougher time finding jobs that pay enough to cover the debt.
(For WFAEs audio of the story, click here.)
The faculty and deans at Charlotte School of Law get a little starry-eyed when they talk about the kind of graduates they hope to produce public-minded, ready-to-hit-the-ground-running, working on behalf of the little guy.
Isaac Sturgill could be their poster child. Hes a 2012 graduate of Charlotte School of Law and currently a staff attorney in the housing division of Legal Aid of North Carolina in Charlotte.
Sturgills shirt and tie are rumpled from a day in court helping people in low-income housing defend their rights. He passed the bar on his first try last summer and parlayed his enthusiasm and experience working with clients in the law schools extensive clinic program to beat out more seasoned candidates for this Legal Aid job.
I came to work and they gave me my first three files and I asked if I could be excused to go get sworn in at the courthouse, recalls Sturgill. Ive been pretty busy ever since.
But while Sturgill is the kind of graduate Charlotte School of Law is aiming for, hes not the norm.
Employment data for the class of 2012 show just 45 of 234 graduates got work in the government or public sectors and most of them found only part-time, short-term positions. Nearly 10 percent of the class found no work at all. The rest split between working for a small law firm or a business often in jobs that dont even require a law degree.
In fact, barely half of the Charlotte School of Law Class of 2012 got a job that required passing the bar. Graduates of North Carolinas other private law schools fared much better.
The challenge is the legal profession always has biases to highly-ranked schools that have strong alumni bases, says John Lassiter, president of Carolina Legal Staffing.
Since Charlotte School of Law started graduating students a few years ago, its only added to the glut of lawyers looking for work. And in a competitive market, a degree from a prestigious school will get you further than one from a new, unranked institution.
In time, Lassiter thinks Charlotte School of Law will develop the reputation and alumni base to give its diplomas more weight, locally. But at the moment, hes placing a lot of new grads in the legal equivalent of manual labor temp jobs reviewing reams of documents and checking boxes: not the kind of work someone spends three hard years and thousands of dollars to get.
But people get more pragmatic when they walk into a difficult economy and our marketplace here has 9.5 percent unemployment, says Lassiter.
Pragmatic, because at $40,000 a year, Charlotte School of Law grads come out with a hefty burden of student loan debt. Thats on par with tuition at 36th-ranked Wake Forest and not far from the $50,000 a year it costs to attend the states most prestigious law school Duke.
But not everyone can get into a top school and not everyone who goes to law school wants to be a lawyer, says Charlotte School of Law Dean Jay Conison.
We provide an opportunity for students who might not have a chance to go to a school like Wake Forest or Duke because they may not have a high LSAT score or their GPA may not be as high, but they have the potential to be successful lawyers, to be successful business people, to be successful problem solvers, says Conison.
One critic calls that little more than a beautiful story.
Elie Mystal is a pretty polarizing guy in legal circles and editor of a widely read blog called Above the Law. He says virtually all law schools public, private, for-profit or not charge way too much at a time when getting a law job is so tough.
Charlotte School of Law is one of three owned by a Florida company called InfiLaw, which is backed by the private equity fund Sterling Partners. The trend among such institutions is to tout themselves an alternative for the underserved, as InfiLaw emphasized in an email response to questions. They typically accept students with much lower grades and LSAT scores and they accept a lot more students than most schools.
Being big gives Charlotte School of Law the money to put toward special programs likes classes to help students pass the bar, Conison says.
We can deliver more and better services to serve these students, says Conison. We can do everything we can to support them and do everything we can to maximize their success with law school, with the bar and their careers.
However, Conison concedes the schools latest bar results are disappointing: only 58 percent passed, compared to the state average of 71 percent.
In auditoriums where fall classes are underway, Charlotte School of Law students are hard at work. Many say they came here because its the only law school in this part of the state. They rave about their professors and the training they get at the schools clinics.
Their professors many of whom graduated from top law schools rave about the freedom and support they get from the school.
I never felt like I was not going to be able to gain employment by going to Charlotte School of Law, says third-year student Lasaundra Spencer, who has a job lined up when she graduates next spring. As a matter of fact, it kind of fueled me to want to prove to people that I can come to this school, I can do the work, work hard, network, do the things that I need to do and still get a job.
In a national survey of 2011 law graduates, 52 percent reported salaries between $40,000 and $65,000.
But how much will that job pay? High-salary spots at top law firms are virtually out of the question unless you went to a prestigious school. National survey data show most recent law graduates earning $40,000 to $65,000 a year. Meanwhile, if they went to a private law school, they owe at least $125,000.
Above the Laws Mystal says people should think very seriously about why they want a law degree.
If youre that dead set on going to law school and staying in North Carolina, you should go to the absolute cheapest law school you can get into, get your degree, pass the bar and then hustle for a job, says Mystal. Unless you go to Duke, youre gonna have to hustle for a job and so, you might as well hustle for a job with as little debt as possible hanging over your head.
Which in North Carolina, means another unranked law school this one public. The North Carolina Central University Class of 2012 had a harder time finding law jobs than their Charlotte peers, but having paid tuition of around $11,000 a year, theyre also under a lot less financial pressure.

VANCOUVER -- The NHL lockout showed little sign of progress, so Mike Commodore decided to take action.
But his decision to sign a 25-game professional tryout offer with the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs was not just an effort to salvage a season.
"I need to be playing, in my opinion, if I want to have a good chance of continuing my career," he said while the Bulldogs visited the Abbotsford Heat for a pair of games last weekend. "So here I am."
The 33-year-old Sherwood Park, Alta., native was among a long list of unrestricted NHL free agents who were left in limbo when the previous NHL collective bargaining agreement expired Sept. 15. Teams raced to sign younger core assets before the old CBA expired, but took a pass on older UFAs until new financial parameters, notably the salary-cap maximum and contracting rules, are established.
"Obviously, they were looking to lock up guys long-term with the expiry coming up," Commodore said. "But for guys like me, there wasn't a real rush, and then the lockout started."
Commodore split last season with the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning. He is in his 13th pro season and has played for almost as many teams in that span.
Since being drafted by New Jersey in the second round (42nd overall) in 1992, he has logged 484 career NHL regular-season games with the Devils, Calgary, Carolina, Ottawa, Columbus, Detroit and Tampa. He has also suited up in 53 playoff games.
He won a Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2005-06, played for the Calgary Flames squad that fell in seven games in the 2003-04 Stanley Cup finals to Tampa Bay and was a member of Canada's world championship-winning squad in 2007.
Commodore finds himself back in the league where he spent the last lockout, after spending 2004-05 with Calgary's former Lowell Loch Monsters farm club. The 6-4, 225-pound blue-liner considered playing in Europe this season, but opted for a loop he knew.
"I'm playing in front of people that I would like to see me play -- NHL scouts, GMs and stuff like that," he said. "I'm just trying to put myself in the best situation."
Commodore finished even in the plus-minus department as Hamilton split a pair of games with the Heat. Playing his first game since last spring, he went minus-1 in a 5-1 loss, while racking up eight penalty minutes, all on minors. In the second game, he was on the ice as rookie Brendan Gallagher scored the only goal the Bulldogs needed in a 3-0 upset of the league-leading hosts.
In the process of trying to earn another NHL job, Commodore is showing Montreal Canadiens prospects like Gallagher and Jared Tinordi, both 20-year-old rookies, what it takes to have a long pro career.
"It's different," Commodore said. "It's fun. I was 20 once too, playing in the American Hockey League (with the Albany River Rats) my first year, and I remember older guys that were on my team and how they treated me. By no means do I think I'm old. But for hockey, I've been around for a little while.
"It's just funny to listen to the guys talk. It's nice to be around some young blood and some fresh players. I'm enjoying it so far."

Cyrano is a larger-than-life, almost mythic character, and the role calls for stamina, feeling, a voice both bluff and expressive and huge physical endurance. Even given a terrific script, it's a tough order, but Bill Christ fills it with heart and aplomb. As Christian, Ryan Shively is less expressive than one would wish. Libby West is charming as the young Roxane, but this character is supposed to transform from a lighthearted, sometimes silly girl into a woman capable of mature love, and West doesn't quite make the transition. Tony Church is very interesting in a tiny role, and there are lots of small pleasures among the rest of the cast, but there are also some glaring weaknesses. One expects a uniformly strong ensemble in a company of this stature.

Obama's Nominations Blocked Again In Senate
Originally published on Fri November 1, 2013 4:46 am
By Ailsa Chang
Senate Republicans have once again blocked President Obama's nominees. Despite a deal in July to let several of the president's picks go through, the rancor has returned with a fresh batch of appointments. Two nominations failed within less than an hour on Thursday, and Democrats may once again threaten to change Senate rules so Republicans can't easily derail another nomination.
