No problem :] I can take a while to reply sometimes too. The whole Bible is pretty amazing isnt it! I like your profile pic. Have you designed any shirts for c28?
Yup, I wont try to ignore them. I need discipline though. I have to remember that us teens- especially teens- really need to try not to talk back. Sometimes I get kinda mad how some teenagers complain about how their family is meant to them. I know times are kinda hard for them. I need to remember not to complain about how anyone treats me because I have Jesus and He has been through those kind of things and didnt complain about it. :]
Im great How about your self? :)
Hi, happy panda! Thanks for writing on my forums. Ill try not to talk back to anyone in my family lol. I know its wrong, I sometimes get so mad and think that even if I keep on trying to respect them, its not going to do anything. But Im going to get a CD from my dad and it has Jesus Culture songs, so if they yell at me, I can just start listening to Gospel music and I wont even know what theyre saying. :]
Hi :)
Hey needing help to design a shirt for kingdom kings...
that great!... but i dont get it... it says its done voting... but nonw im gessing that they havnt picked the actual winners yet? um... i dunno, id like to but i dont think id be able to come up with something even half as awesome as most of the stuff here! :P ... and i kinda am swamped with studdies 0.0 ooh... i just noticed... we both use the same version of photohsop xP so how long have you been using photoshop for? Happy new year!
Pandaaaaa. It's been forever :D What software do you use??
Hey friend! I'd love your feedback on another new design I have since you give great comments! http://www.canvasthreads.com/DesignDetails.aspx?id=6890 Called "HEART OF STONE"
BAHAHAHA that video is awesome
Hi happy panda, heres a video for you XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEXzFeOrZh0
Hey I wanted to ask you about the work you do with websites and flash. I am at the begging stages of building a website and I will need some flash work done. DO you have facebook ? than I can tell you what I am looking to do. Thanks
http://www.c28.com/shopping/productdetails.asp?recordid=161314 see my comment and HEY why are you never on msn
Hey friend, I've got another new submission- this time for guys and girls called "Branches"- please check it out and leave some feedback. Thanks for your support!
No, I never heard of the "energy" thing. That is so weird! Okay, we only do it as a natural way of curing colds and stuff. Anything else sounds off the wall, in my opinion!
Nope! Never heard of that one before! That sounds weird... =/
Okay...it may be possible that homeopathy is endorsed by New Age people, but the main emphasis is on healing illness naturally. God made herbs and stuff that do help fight disease, and basically thats all my family has ever been involved in--natural methods to curing sickness. I know the creepy bunches do use homeopathy and are really big on "natural" stuff, but originally it wasnt that way. I think its only changed to that in the past few years, but I may be wrong.
You're very welcome!
hey we have a new person on c28 from the philippians and she made a thread called "newbie"lolz just leting yuh know..lolz giving yuh the 411. but anyhoo I wanted to ask if read moreyou wanted to you could post on the forum "he saw the best in me" its sorta like introductions but encouraging thread. because some people i know are looking at c28. and by bro considered joining..nd just people come on this site all the time. without commenting or joining.

Hello there! How would I go about making my floral design vector? (I've never done that b4...heh heh...) Do I have to make a path around every line or something?
merry christmas!!!
thank you for your upliftin comments!!!!!
Thanks for the nice comment on my first design. I can't wait to get the Inside Counts shirt when it comes out, it's great! Hope you have a great Christmas!
Congrats Christina really love your recent win! :)
Ya know what, I think you're right. haha. I might have to try it sometime. We'll see. :)
So far I haven't designed any shirts, but I want to try it. Problem is, I'm a perfectionist so it takes me a long time to do anything and I really just don't have the time right now. Someday though. :) For now, I'm content to be an observer and to wear the awesome stuff you guys are coming up with. God Bless!
its so cool that u are an active member of the canvas website! check out my design please! i'm just a kid as well and this is my 2nd design. i have taught myself how to make videos, create t-shirts, and do anything "techie" thanks for being a light for God! Matthew 5! wooo! keep on keepin on!
Congrats on your "The Inside Counts" win!! This design is definitely my favorite Canvas design and it so deserved the win! BTW A 4.4 has to be the highest score I have seen so far.
Hey, I just wanted to drop by and let you know that I totally love your designs. I just ordered a shirt with your "Saved By Grace" design. I can't wait to get it! Keep rockin, you're doing great!
Can I have your email? Cool what is your concept? I've got a few concepts in mind but I'm mainly reworking my website at the moment.
I managed to get a real cheap hosting, I could give you the details if you want, not sure if they still have the promo though :) Are you designing any t-shirt at the moment?
Christina, lol I was thinking of revamping my site actually to simplify the portfolio section in particular. Do you have a personal website too?
lol i know right! XD hey, your wall is waaay full. lol
christina! the new guy, michael/rook, is my brother. XD he wanted to see if i would recognize him but he doesn't know i know who he is yet. XD i want to mess with him some. any thoughts? :)
Hey! yeah kh2 is awesome :)
Hi Christina, Thanks for the welcome! As for my design I'm working on it now! :)
hi happy panda, God bless you alot! just passing by to show you some sister luv, i love your design are very bold and cute, may GOD bless your talent every day, take care.
ok so, when you come in my fuzzy store, just say "happy panda" and I'll give you all kinds of discounts! :)
awww thanks! yeah, I want to have a fuzzy store in the mall like the hello kitty store only better!
Hey Christina (: How's it going? Good I hope. Anyways I've been meaning to ask you for a while now if you'd be interested in working together to create the best design on c28canvas to this day haha. what do ya think? You're so talented and I know we could come up with something beyond great :P You can write on my wall or email me if you're interested. (firstname.lastname@example.com) hope to hear from ya soon. God Bless (:
Thank you for commenting on my first design here & for the suggestions! You have got some really joyful designs & may God bless you!
Yeah, I had that same debate about the cross on the can, but I liked the idea that Jesus can cover up any sin or addiction- besides, visually, it just didn't look good anywhere else!! But thanks for the comments!
Hey friend! Just wanted you to check out my latest designs, "Empty" for both guys and girls- it addresses the dangers of alcohol in a bold way- when you get a chance! Please leave some feedback! Blessings! -mkdesign
I get mad everytime I look at your shirts because I want to buy all of them!!! Seriously- I think you should start your own shirt company so I can buy all of them :)
I probably will make another fuzzy shirt soon but they got terrible scores!
thanks again for all your helpful comments!
LOL! Np. I have to say, I really like your 'Saved by Grace' design. I'm so glad it won!! XD
Hey Christina, I just wanted to thank you for the positive constructive criticism :-)
Thank you so very much, I appreciate that! Gotta love your feedback!
Hey, Panda! Got an email that I can email the psd file to you?
hey panda can you email me on how to put my design on a real shirt template? thanks my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
lol me too! XD
thanks! :) well the new pic is blond w/ a red streak. lol ya, macbeth is really bloody and violent and has ghosts and witches and everything! AND WORST OF ALL......ITS MRS BEAVINS CLASS!!!! jk shes a good teacher just...intimidating... well, i flagged your other post. thx for the email! i wanted to send you a pic of my friend and me w/ our scary makeup on and everything! lol XD <3ekah
btw, i was wanting to ask you for your email address (i don't have facebook or anything of the like) but then i wasn't sure if you were ok w/ posting it on the internet. so this is the question in my mind. <3ekah
AAH! it totally just changed ALLLL my pix! lol anyway, wudya think? :) (i'm changing the pic back as soon as you see it) i actually only did it cuz my friend and i are doing a dramatic presentation for school (at our co op) and we're doing the witches from macbeth. we're having SO MUCH FUN with this! XD i like it black but...i feel my blondness kinda defines me. (and my drama teacher will kill me if it doesn't wash out by our performance day lol) so i'll be washing this out in a hurry. :P <3ekah
lol ya, i'm seriously not stereotypical hardcore emo person, but i consider myself kinda emo cuz it means "emotional" and involves a lot of black, which i LOVE! ^^ and that reminds me, my friend and i dyed our hair black today. my dad hasn't said anything yet....haha that's great! i like the name. :D <3ekah
u totally should! mail me one! =D lol maybe so, but the giraffe is still cute! ^^ haha well, my sister and i were talking and we were like, michael (my bro) is a nerd, danielle, (my sis) is a tomboy...but what the heck am i? i told her "i'm a rainbow!!!" lol but see we decided on crazy rocker barbie because a) i'm crazy, especially with friends and on family road trips (you do NOT wanna be stuck in a van of mustos for hours on end) b)i love to rock out and dance like crazy and can be kinda emo (not depressed, just a lotta lotta black and sometimes emotional) and c) i've always been kinda "preppy" if you wanna call it that. like i'm really into fashion and stuff. and what adds to the barbie part is that i'm blond (on and sometimes in the head lol) and i get really hyper, sometimes appearing ditzy. XD so that is my long drawn out explanation. haha sooo what about you? you like...pandas? lol <3ekah
Hey girl great job back there with all those designs... tnx 4 share your art with us!!!! Blessings!
hey! i was just admiring your other designs. i'm so mad the one with the heart and the zipper isn't available! i SO wanted to buy it!!! i was looking at the one with the giraffe and i was like, "omg, not only is it cute and talks about God's creation, but a giraffe is like the most perfect animal to use for that because it's one of those animals that defies macro evolution!" XD so i really want to buy that one too...lol <3ekah
thanks for the suggestion. that's what i was gonna do especially since there's a park right here i like to walk to with my friends, but the last time i suggested that he was like, "too simple." that's another thing, it's a guy. that might slightly change it. idk thanks for your suggestion though. i'm just trying to think of a little something more...maybe we'll go to the park and he'll just have to deal. lol LOVE! : ) <3ekah
I actually don't remember getting an email for my first shirt and check, I just remember I received it about a month after it hit the store. They sent me my second shirt and check about a week after it hit the store because it was delayed. I totally understand how you feel cause I waited patiently for many month to finally receive my stuff as well.
Yes, hopefully it could get done tonight, but I think he's an east coaster and has prolly gone for the night =[ i really had hopped to get it fixed tonight, but alas it may not be so.
Nope, ya gotta get the e-mail. But on a brighter note I have been able to bring this to the admins' attention via a friend who has been talking with them for me, so hopefully it'll get all worked out soon =]
that's great! how could we do that? I could email you a screen shot of it?
Hey :D I like your designs and your advice. Could you help me by telling me what you think of my designs before i submit them??
haha thx for the advice! sounds like a plan:)
Guess what. I can't log onto vmkm -_-' i tried a few passwords, none worked, i asked for the reset e-mail, never received it. I even sent a message via the contact us page D= idk what to do...i could create a new account...but i don't want to, got any ideas as to what i should do?
i draw people, mostly cartoony-looking, and flowers, clothes, animals....i guess near about everything lol. but i dont have much time to draw anymore. i think itd be really cool to learn about graphic design like u and everyone else on canvas, but im ttly clueless on how to get started
It seems you always have great things to say about my designs. Thank you for that, and I love the fact that you are honest in your opinions. God bless.
Well thank you, I really appreciate that. Your work is very good too, I like the shirt logo that won, it deserved to win.
Ok, so I posted a quick sketch of Stitch I did in Illustrator, I'm still working that one plus another one of him, but this is my website, it has alot of my disney work on there, plus other work I have done, tell me what you think.... http://maherbahhur.blogspot.com/
cute cantaloupe pic lol! i love it!
Haha well thank you, I actually took my portfolio to Disneyland yesterday to try to get hired on as a disney character sketch artist. We'll see what happens, I will draw stitch for you, I'll put it on my site so you can see.
Hey there, Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment. And yes, actually I can draw Stitch, and I have him in my portfolio, I'll add him soon so you can check it out. Website in progress.... Thanks again!
Yup, ya were prolly better friends when ya first knew her, but that's just a guess, and i agree with the online dating thing being silly, but i can tell you for a fact that he has talked to her on the phone, and on the computer, and seen her as well, she has videos on youtube and she goes on ustream so...she is who she says she is, from what i've seen/heard from her..but still i think it was a bad move on his part but it's his life to do with as he wishes... and yes i totally agree! we should visit on AC it'd be fun ^_^
Actually i think you guys were pretty good friends, maybe still are, don't know. And you are correct i should play AC i have a lot of catching up to do XD
virtual...which made it even worse for me..at least it was the same girl he broke up with before i guess..funny thing too, you know her. i'm not big with the whole online dating thing, especially at that age, and he saw things my way for a while, but then well everything sorta went downhill... But yes God was good, and he helped me through it, and ya know i'm kinda glad to be going back to vmkm, i know it'll be different from when i left, but hopefully i can reconnect with those i, for lack of a better word, abandoned =/
yeah i know..that's what i thought too, but he chose his "girlfriend" over me, so it kinda goes to show that our friendship was not that important to him... =/ and believe me i know that it was just as much my fault as it was his, after all i kinda blew up when he began shutting me out and stuff (not the smartest thing to do)and i think that kinda pushed him away more, a rare time i let emotion get the best of me, prolly cuz it hurt me so much to see that i was losing my best friend =[ *sigh* but i suppose you're right, i should visit, there are ppl (like you) that i miss talking to, and if i can go back and not worry, then it kinda proves (to me at least) that i've truly put that all behind me, if ya know what i mean. And God has been gracious to me through that ordeal, bring up new friends, and reconnecting with old vmk/vmkm friends via IM and other games and forums, so i think i'll do as you suggest and go back from time to time, might start after my b-day passes, then it'll have been almost a solid 5 month break from there, so keep a look out lol i'll be sure to leave you a profile message when i go on X]
Thanx for all the recent feedback on my work! It really means a lot! Are you on facebook?
Ah yes vmkm...kinda a long story, but to sum it up lue and i got into a fight and he decided not to be my friend anymore, and after some not so nice words between us, we parted ways...and thus, i haven't been on vmkm bc i've been staying away from him and his friends...and as much as i have wanted to go back to catch up with ppl, i fear running in to them so to speak, i don't want to fight with them anymore, and i know that they were still talking about me even after i went away...so idk,not sure what to expect if i were to go back, i don't want to bring up what happened, don't want to be reminded, and i don't want to cause anymore issues, i just want to move on, and yet i miss all the ppl i have not talked to in a long time =/
hey no prob! i love that shirt its amazing (^_^)
Lol, neither have i XD i've been playing some online games so i've neglected my wii lawlz. i'm glad to hear that you are well ^_^, i've been great, busy but that's just life lol. so what's new?
Christina Hi, i have a list of films to do and everything else i can think of... but i'm keeping them under my hat for now.. here is a secret for you.. (don't tell anyone) Why does my fingerprints look strange? because the picture not only looks like Jesus but Mona Lisa too, lol... but thanks for the comments
Hiya Panda! How have you been? It's been a while since we last talked.
Panda i know your a girl and all but YOU ARE THE MAN! YES YOU ARE! (now i know your going to say "Well Jesus is THE man" but for this 10 minuet slot I've checked with hi and everything, you can quite literally RULE! but only for this ten minuets, don't let it go to your head now =) For all the stuff you've done for my work already (and I've not even started with my better ideas for t-shirts yet) i want to write you into my will to say thanks, so tell me, tell me, what would you like? perhaps a happy panda? i can get you one if you want? God Bless Rob
Thanks for the comment. God Bless
Thank you for all the feedback on my work! I really appreciate it!
hey, thanks for the comment and the vote.
Well thank you Panda! I enjoy your designs so very much, you are definitely one of my favorite designers on Canvas. I would probably wear your whole line of stuff if I could. And just fyi, I'm gonna try to get back to some designing probably tomorrow...I finally got my internet back up on my own computer.
ohhh thank you so much!!!and if one day you need something just let me know =D God bless you always =D
Hey Panda!!! Thank you for those encouraging words and support. :) To answer your question the circle would be Jesus' scar. Now I know it is controversial whether it was his wrist or hand. I think the case in point is that he died for our sins and whether it was the wrist or hand... it is awesome that he loves us that much to die for us. Well, it's always great to hear your feedback! Praise Jesus! God Bless!
It's spanish!! ahahha but i have to admit that i'm not that bad at english.. I have learned so much...it just a matter of practice it, I get nervous when I talk to someone in person, I think i'm not going to able to understand what they say to me..ahahhaha but with the help of God, I hope someday i will talk fluently!! ahahaha
Thank you for your comment on my design, its been helpful =)
ahahha I knew there was something wrong of how i wrote jealous!!ohhhhh english is not my first language and sometimes i get very confused =(
hey panda, did you know that when you hover your cursor over the detail images on a shirt submission it zooms in a box shaped area and you can move it around to see details? You always leave comments saying something is hard to read and or hard to see. That tool helps alot, plus you've got to keep in mind that when/if printed its going to be like 50x bigger or so, and totally visible. Anyways thanks for the comments and uplifting criticisms on my work, it really helps.
ATTENTION CANVAS COMMUNITY! I just received my T-Shirt of my winning Canvas design in the mail and it is awesome!! The only problem is that (which is a big problem) it's a 2X girls shirt and it is so small!! The C28 T-Shirt sizing is ridiculous and needs to be fixed ASAP!! They hardly offer anything in 3X and judging by how small the 2X that I received was, the 3X would not be plus size. Also why don't they display plus size models on their website? Are all Christians skinny? What kind of example is this setting for us as Christians? Do I need to start a petition??
Panda - Thanks for the encouraging words. God Bless you!
hey christina! thanks for the encouraging comment on my "Love revolution" shirt! i klnow they cant print on the sleeves but if it wins i just gotta resize the design which is no biggy ;P God Bless!
Hey Christina, thanks for the comment!
happy_panda, I really enjoy your creativity. You always seem to have fresh ideas and awesome designs. It's good to have you on Canvas and keep up the good work!
uh, what does pwn stand for?
Hey there! I've been away from Canvas for quite a while and would love it if you could check out my latest designs, you always leave good comments! Blessings!
Panda m'dear, I'm in a bit of a confused daze... I've tried your advice on making a typing path with the pen, but once I get the little path on there [though, then again, I could very well be doing that wrong as well..] and I go to the typing tool and click on it, the words don't follow the path! Help would be SO very much appreciated!
oh one more thing- i just read your bio, what's messenger?
I checked and your scores are really good! I looked on the winning ones and the scores start from 2.8. I noticed that all the winning ones have the C28 style though. If thats how they pick them I don't have much hope of winning.
Thanks for the advice Cristina, I really appreciate it.-Joshkn
Panda I'm ready for critiquing!! XDXD But you have vanished =O Come back!! :'( haha whenever you can get back on messenger please =D
oh wow!! i didn't see your designs...? they did show up on my screen en till i posted my comment. you do very nice work! i like your style. and thanks again :)
well thank you. i hope your day is blessed.
I was just looking at all your designs and I can't figure out why you've only won once! I think every single one is adorable! They are all my kind of style!!
Hey Christina. Thanks a lot for your feedback! I think the text looks pixally because of the low quality of the detail image. The high res version I have is pretty crisp. I didn't see it like the girl could be viewed as the rescuer so thanks for bringing that up. Maybe I'll make a slightly different version to make my idea more clear. Again thanks so much! Oh and I love your "Everlasting Life" design. I want it.
Your design ideas rock, and you are original. Keep up the good work! Thanks for all of the positive feedback and constructive criticism you offer here on canvas. God bless you
do you have the messenger? cuz i added you with windows live messenger but I don't really know how to use it lol.. i usually use aim.. if not I will just email you XD
Ohhhhh Paaannnnnddaaaa haha I designed a shirt this morning.. and I was wondering if you might critique me before I submit it =D because.. well.. canvas's FAQ say "In order to ensure that everyone votes on the same design, designs cannot be edited after being posted on the website." and well I don't want to disobey them XD so.. do you have like.. aim or something.. or email address I could send you a link to the design if you don't mind =D
Haha =P I <3 smileys, I use them like.. every other sentence I type online usually. God bless. =D (p.s. my fav smiley is XD too!!) XD
Well that is so completely simple sounding that I feel like a complete imbecile and n00b! Thanks ever so much, your comments are really helping me grow as an artist, I do believe.
Hey Panda, thanks for all of the advice! I'm currently doodling on Photoshop 7, but I unfortunately have no clue what you mean by making the text follow any sort of text path. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Panda. Thanks for the comment. haha.. I love spicy food specially in the form of sushi...
Hey there, I'm fairly new to canvas, and as I've been going through the shirts to vote on them i seem to see you leaving a lot of comments, tons of constructive criticism and approval. Personally I think that that is awesome! I just thought that i would stop by your page and comment to you on my approval of your nice comments ;) Anyways, I hope to be blessed with your comments in the future, and I will attempt to do the same for you. God Bless. =D
I tried changing the font on my angel fuzzy shirt and I couldn't put it because it looks to much like the first one. Any idea for what else I could change?
Okay, thanks for helping me out!
Thank you thank you thank you for telling me about dafont.com!!!
Thank you for your comment! And am I allowed to re-do my design and submit it again? I thought in the rules it said it wasn't allowed but I thought I saw other people do it? Anyway, yeah I didn't take a lot of time to think about the design cuz I was frustrated lol but I definitely agree with your comment!
Hii!! thanks for the comments!! God bless you!!!
hey thanks for the comments, and thanks for the warm welcome!
Hey Christina, I'm glad you enjoyed the cartoons on my website! That cute little giraffe you made on one of your designs is just adorable. :)
Hello, You are very talented God is good! I have stores in Latin America and USA and would like to work with you and print some of your designs. Please let me know if you are interested and contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com God bless you!
Hi, Christina thank you for the comment on my ARE YOU READY? shirt. I think you did miss interpret it. First off it is not just a car it is a hearse, the car used to carry the casket to a funeral. So it is suppose to be saying Are you Ready? to die. I thought Jesus look fairly happy waving out the window with a smile on his face. But maybe not. Satin is driving and looks mad because the person who died is joining the kingdom of God. That's is how the shirt is suppose to come across. But again thanks for your comment and I hope this explanation helps you better understand the design.
oh thanks alot it is email@example.com. i appreciate it!! God bless
Hi, Just wanted to drop by and give thanks for all the feedback and encouragement you have provided to both the community and I. Your words of encouragement are not easily forgotten.
Hello! Thank you for leaving such a nice comment on my wall! It was very encouraging! :)
thats cool!! i dont mind you testing it out. lol well thanks for the tip!! i will definately try that with my next design. well have a great night
really you think im doing pretty good?? well thanks that helps knowing that im going in the right direction. lol well i have cs3 extended. mostly i have issues with when i scan in a drawing the background having to go around erasing everything so you cant see the white around the edges. and how does everyone elses always look like they were made into the shirts. like with mine you can tell its just there on the shirt. and what i vector? i appreciate you time!! God bless
hey!! thanks for the comments on my love manifeted design. yeah i didnt really even think about putting a cloak or crown of thorns on Him, when i was drawing this. thank you though any pointers you have just let me know. im trying to learn how to use photoshop and am still having troubles sometimes. im actually taking my first design class in the fall and they are using photoshop, so hopefully that will help me out soo much more. anyways thanks again! :)
Thank you so much, I am very much in love with yours as well! :)
i meant im not feeling the lanyard in the fact that i think it takes away from the design and is really unnecessary

Thanks for the comment Pandoll. God Bless
Hi Happy Panda, thank you so much for kindly expressing what we as artists go through and how it hurts when someone posts a negative (or rude) remark on our design. On my owl shirt, I saw that someone had made a hurtful remark, and when I clicked the link to see whom it may be, I saw you had posted something encouraging and loving on his wall and yet spoke the truth in love to help him perhaps not be so negative. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!!!!! It means a lot! I'm sure not everyone will like my art, but I never thought I'd get cruel remarks! YOU ARE A BLESSING TO ME!
Hey Pandoll, thanks for all the positive comment on my latest designs. i'm glad you enjoy what i do :) i really do love your "saved by grace" design, its awesome! :) God Bless

The decision of the Italian government to send back the marines, Massimilano Lattore and Salvatore Girone, has been widely welcomed by various sections of people here in Kerala, the State to which belonged the two fishermen who were killed by gunshots. Dora, wife of fisherman Valentine, who was shot and killed on February 15, 2012, off the Kerala coast, said she was very happy with the development. The marines must stand trial in India, she said, adding that she expected them to be convicted. "I leave everything to God," the young woman, a fervent Catholic who had had her schooling but nothing more by way of formal education, told The Hindu on Friday.
However, even while welcoming the move, the former Minister and the legislator from Kollam, P.K. Gurudasan, said the decision appeared to be part of a deal struck between the Indian and Italian governments rather than a move meant to comply with the directions of India's Supreme Court. It was on the basis of some assurances by the Union government that the marines were being sent back. "This is tantamount to infringement of the Supreme Court's powers," he said.
Mr. Gurudasan insisted that the Kerala government file a review petition against the Supreme Court's verdict that had held that Kerala had no jurisdiction in the case. He said that the special court to try the case should be set up in Kerala.
T. Peter, secretary of the National Fishworkers' Forum, said the Indian government's assurance that the marines would not be given capital punishment was a folly. This had to be decided by a court of law. If the government was against the imposition of the death sentence, such a stand should be consistently applied and should not be restricted to the marines' case alone.
General secretary of the Kerala State Fishworkers' Federation V.V. Saseendran said that though he welcomed the Italian government's decision, he could not endorse the assurances that appear to have been given by the Union government, including one that the marines would not be given the death penalty.
According to External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, the assurance was given to Italy because it was not a "rarest-of-rare" case for which the death sentence could be awarded. The court, and not a Union Minister or any other representative of the executive arm of the government, must decide whether or not it was such a case, Mr. Saseendran said.
Mr. Khurshid's reported statement was a direct challenge to the authority of the Indian judiciary, he said. He added that it amounted to the government interfering in the judicial process. This created doubts in the minds of the fishing community whether there would be justice dispensed in this case.
H. Basilal, president of Vaddy-Tangasseri Fishermen Society in Kollam, said that because of the strong stand taken by the Supreme Court and the nation-wide protests triggered by Italy's earlier decision not to send back the marines, that country had given in to pressure. Else, Italy would have been blacklisted globally, he said.
G. Mohanraj, who was the official special public prosecutor in the case when it was pending before the Kollam District and Sessions Court, said the decision to send back the marines had brought him much relief. The marines should trust the impartiality and credibility of the Indian judicial system. "It is also clear that they will be entitled to all fundamental rights under Indian law during trial," he added.
While leaders of fishermen's organisations thus seemed to give out these vocal statements, at the bustling fishing harbour of Neendakara near here, from where the fishing boat on which the unfortunate fishermen had set out to sea last year, the average fisherman seemed either oblivious of or unconcerned with the return of the marines in distant national capital city of New Delhi. Many of them were at work on this hot afternoon on the seafront area, mending their nets in the shade of fishing boats as usual, getting set of another day's toil out in the sea in search of a livelihood.

Those that have installed these units, are they really as easy to install as the instructions say or is there a little trick that I need to know about? I already installed the cree cans. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nothing special |
I encountered some cans that used coat-hanger type wires to hold up the original trim baffle. Rather than remove them as Cree suggests (I didn't want to make the installation irreversible), I just bent them out of the way, against the sides of the can, so they wouldn't touch the heat sink on the CR6. Basically, you (usually) remove the socket, insert the CR6 into the socket, extend the 3 pivoting things, and push it into the can. Or you can not extend them and turn it 1/3 turn once it's in place. Easier than the instructions make it look. |
Polar thanks for the video. I see you did not use the turn method. Have you tried both and found this to be easier? Sure seems very simple. |
Turning the lamp clockwise helps ensure that the prongs are fully extended. |
Installed the units today and they look great. No problems with flickering or humming when dimmed. Also, I would estimate they dim to around 10-15% if not more using the lutron dimmer model DVSCCL-153P. We are very pleased. I will post some pics tonight. |

Nice, glad you got them in with no problems and that they meet your expectations. |
I installed one today to see how they look. Our cans are 6" Halo IC. Very easy. Only thing that annoyed me is that here in Kalifornia, the version of the CR-6 has a GU-24 connection on the back. So you have to cut the wires to the Edison style socket and splice in the (provided) GU-24 socket. Not a big deal - except if you are trying a few and want to see how they work in different rooms. Makes things slightly non-reversible. The CR-6 works really well though. Definitely brighter than the 65 watt Sylvania bulbs that it replaced. Dims well too - but not quite as dim as the incandescents. During dimming, does not turn orange at low levels. And of concern to me, only a very low level of RFI (radio frequency interference.) In this respect, the Philips LED bulbs that I have tried are extremely quiet. The Home Depot Ecosmart A19 LED bulbs can be noisy. |

I have the Ecosmart 6" LED downlights with edison base and was planning to use the 6" Halo cans (H750ICAT). Can I simply cut off the Halo 2-pin connector and splice in an edison socket? |
If you can find or make the proper E26 pigtail connector. |

DW and I disagreed on the sheen level for our new rift sawn oak floor. I went with her choice, semigloss. Now done, with 3 coats of oil based poly. Too shiny for me in general, and of course the shine makes anything less than perfect flatness show up. What is the best way to tone it down? Would a 4th coat, using satin, be too many total coats, and would it fix the sheen (with one additional coat)? Or can the existing semi-gloss just be buffed with something to knock down the sheen level? This is kitchen, LR, library, halls, MBR. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Another coat of lower gloss will work, make sure it is compatible with what is already there. You could also use very fine steel whorl on a floor polisher to de-gloss the surface. You may need to screen the surface for another coat of finish anyway. |
We refinished our red oak floors with a satin finish. We have a large area rug. 5years later when I lift the rug to clean I notice that the surrounding floor looks glossy whereas the covered floor still looks satin. Maybe the wear and year has made it buffed? I don't know. Just a thought. |

When the Pro Bowl rosters were announced last night, I was busy consuming my third Christmas meal over two days. Typing this was difficult because my fingers have swelled to twice their normal size (#bloglife).
I had many questions about the rosters, but I narrowed it down to six. So come with me and let's complain together, and split hairs in many different directions together.
Why are Pro Bowl roster spots awarded based on career accomplishments?
This is why actually watching the Pro Bowl is one of the worst ways you can spend your time. That and the fact that the Pro Bowl isn't football, but I digress.
To deem Jeff Saturday worthy of a Pro Bowl roster spot based on his 2012 play is an insult to the very nature of an all-star game. On its most simple level, any all-star game should include the best players at every position. Sure, there will always be snubs and questionable decisions, which gives guys with computers stuff to write/bitch about (why, just scroll down). But here's what we know to be true about Saturday: although he's had a sterling career that may one day conclude with a replica of his face in Canton, he wasn't even the best center on the Packers' roster.
He was benched last week in favor of Evan Dietrich-Smith, a decision that was made based on performance. Hell, even Saturday is fully aware that he's aging, and he was part of an offensive line that's allowed Aaron Rodgers to be sacked 46 times.
Why do we think Matt Ryan is so awesome?
Look, I like Matt Ryan. I like him a lot. Honest.
But there's just an overwhelming stench of meh to Ryan that's primarily permeating from several bad starts. Yes, every quarterback is allowed to have a stumble or three, but these were just too, um, unPro Bowl-like.
Usually I'm very much a numbers kind of guy, which is a side effect of fantasy sports I suppose. It's also a product of my hatred for hackneyed lowest common denominator terms like "clutch" and "winner" which are used to describe quarterbacks. But although Ryan certainly deserved strong consideration, his ultimate inclusion is likely a product of a focus on the wrong numbers.
Most notably, I fear Ryan earned his trip to Honolulu at least in part based on the quarterback wins statistic, the most meaningless and completely arbitrary metric there is when we gauge the effectiveness of a QB. Why would that matter at all when a Pro Bowl team should be comprised of the best individual performers, and whether or not a game is won on any given week is often far removed from the quarterback's hands?
There was also likely an over emphasis on passing yards, a useful but still poor statistic because of the skewing influence of game scenarios (if a team is consistently playing from behind, there will be far more opportunities to accumulate yards). Ryan currently ranks fifth with 4,481 yards, while Drew Brees — who's also been the subject of much snub concern today — ranks first with 4,781 yards.
But much of my distaste for the Ryan selection is based on week-to-week case studies. Specifically, this:
- Ryan will be the first quarterback off the bench for the NFC even though he was dreadful against New Orleans in Week 13, and at the time they had the league's worst pass defense. He averaged only five yards per pass attempt while completing only 54.5 percent of his passes. The latter number was a season low, and a significant drop from his overall completion percentage of 69.0 this year.
- Despite winning, there were two other glaring instances when Ryan was awful against mediocre competition. The Raiders have only recorded 11 interceptions through 15 games this season, but three of them came off Ryan in Week 6. Then there was his five-interception game against the Cardinals, which was accompanied by a 40.5 passer rating, his lowest rating since his second career start.
While it's still difficult to remove Ryan, Tony Romo is quite worthy of his spot.
If we're including a Falcons receiver (and we should), why Julio Jones over Roddy White?
I'll repeat a line from above, and just insert a different name: I like Julio Jones. I really, truly do.
But this one is a little confusing, although I'll admit it's also the most hair split-y of all my qualms.
White was more consistent, posting seven +100 yard games to Jones' four. And of the booming games from Jones, only one of them has come over the past seven weeks, while conversely White has excelled during the late stages of the year when the importance of games and the consequences of losing inccrease (five of his 100-yard games have come after Atlanta's Week 7 bye).
White's consistency has led to much better overall numbers too, as he has 1,309 receiving yards at a pace of 87.3 per game, while Jones has 1,142 yards at a pace of 76.1 per game, and his only advantage is touchdowns (he has 10, and White has seven).
And while we're ranting about receivers, ummm really, Victor Cruz?
Again, the Jones-White debate is like picking between [insert really attractive supermodel] and [insert stupidly attractive supermodel]. 'Tis the nature of the Pro Bowl discussion.
But the Cruz pick is truly baffling, and is a reflection of flash over substance.
Over the last two weeks as the Giants have been clawing for a playoff berth — a fight that will likely fall short — Cruz has totaled 36 receiving yards. And despite booming games with 179 yards (Week 2), and 131 yards (week 7), his overall per week average is still a nearly replacement level 69.3 yards. That's because he's logged six games with less than 45 yards.
Dez Bryant, meanwhile, hasn't gone a game without a touchdown since Week 9, a stretch that's included 10 scores even though he's been playing minus one finger. Having all of your fingers in their proper working order is pretty important while trying to catch a football.
You should remember that whole lack of finger function bit when you see that Bryant's 12 overall TDs puts him behind only James Jones, and he's averaging 18.7 yards per game more than Cruz. It's all pretty senseless.
Why do you care how much a players' team has or hasn't won?
There's been a lot of rabble rabble on Twitter and elsewhere since the announcement of the Pro Bowl rosters last night about the amount of Chiefs playoffs included. There will be five Chiefs on the AFC team this year (Jamaal Charles, Dustin Colquitt, Eric Berry, Tamba Hali, and Derrick Johnson), meaning that if they lose this week, a two-win team that could hold the first overall pick next April will field more Pro Bowl players than the Colts, a playoff team.
The qualifications of those five players is a separate conversation. My question, though, is this: why the hell does it matter how many games an individual's team has won?
I expect Casual Joe Football Fan (real name, because his parents are awful people) to be upset about this. But you're reading a football blog right now, so there's at least some hardcore oozing through your pores. You should know, then, that being selected to the Pro Bowl is an individual accomplishment, and it's not linked whatsoever to team records. A player who goes to the Pro Bowl is deemed to be among the top two-to-four players at his position, depending on the specific position.
The level of suck demonstrated by the Chiefs throughout the season doesn't matter. The level of awesome demonstrated by Hali et al in comparison to their peers does.
Why are players guilty until proven innocent?
An accusation is just that. An accusation.
When the Pro Bowl rosters were being considered, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was innocent of PED use, as his appeal was going through the proper channels. We've now learned that Sherman has indeed been deemed innocent due to leaking urine and a damaged cup that negated his positive test result.
I can only assume that the potential for a suspension and therefore a tainted season is what kept Sherman out of the Pro Bowl. That's the only possible explanation for excluding a player who was behind only J.J. Watt in a metric that best measures a core function of defensive football when the quarterback is attempting to complete a pass…
Note that @rsherman_25 is 2nd in dropbacks disrupted (22.0). Sacks plus INTs plus passes defensed/batted. Watt leads at 35.5.
— Mike Sando, ESPN.com (@espn_nfcwest) December 27, 2012
Sherman is also tied for the league lead with 23 passes defensed, while his seven interceptions put him behind only Chicago's Tim Jennings, and he's forced three fumbles.
He's very good at making sure that opposing wide receivers and quarterbacks are pretty bad. Yet he'll be doing what the rest of us do when the Pro Bowl is on TV.
Anything else. Absolutely anything else.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
5 But if you will not heed these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation. | 5 But if you do not obey these commands, declares the LORD, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.' " |
6 For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: "'You are as Gilead to me, as the summit of Lebanon, yet surely I will make you a desert, an uninhabited city. | 6 For this is what the LORD says about the palace of the king of Judah: "Though you are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon, I will surely make you like a desert, like towns not inhabited. |
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, each with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choicest cedars, and cast them into the fire. | 7 I will send destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut up your fine cedar beams and throw them into the fire. |
8 "'And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, "Why has the LORD dealt thus with this great city?" | 8 "People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another, 'Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?' |
9 And they will answer, "Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods and served them."'" | 9 And the answer will be: 'Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.' " |
10 Weep not for him who is dead, nor bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he shall return no more to see his native land. | 10 Do not weep for the dead [king ] or mourn his loss; rather, weep bitterly for him who is exiled, because he will never return nor see his native land again. |
11 For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josi'ah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josi'ah his father, and who went away from this place: "He shall return here no more, | 11 For this is what the LORD says about Shallum son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but has gone from this place: "He will never return. |
12 but in the place where they have carried him captive, there shall he die, and he shall never see this land again." | 12 He will die in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again." |
13 "Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing, and does not give him his wages; | 13 "Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, making his countrymen work for nothing, not paying them for their labor. |
14 who says, 'I will build myself a great house with spacious upper rooms,' and cuts out windows for it, paneling it with cedar, and painting it with vermilion. | 14 He says, 'I will build myself a great palace with spacious upper rooms.' So he makes large windows in it, panels it with cedar and decorates it in red. |
15 Do you think you are a king because you compete in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. | 15 "Does it make you a king to have more and more cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He did what was right and just, so all went well with him. |

Am anticipating the 10pm news on Channel 3. At 6, they showed a news story about the Monona Terrace bathroom improvements, with a camera shot inside one of the johns. But, oooooops, there was some poor sap sitting in the stall with his pants down around his ankles. Really. Am wondering if they'll "clean up" their video for the 10 pm news. Let's see.
Who edits these stories for our local TV stations???

The GDF Suez-operated Bonaparte floating LNG (FLNG) project has missed another of its deadlines set earlier in the development planning.
When the Timor Sea FLNG project received environmental approval from the Australian government in 2012, GDS Suez said that front-end engineering and design studies would begin in 2013. In September 2013, GDF Suez advised that FEED would start during this year's first quarter.
That date has now become "in 2014." No reason has been given for the delays, but the project remains in the pre-FEED phase at the moment.
Bonaparte FLNG General Manager Jean-Francois Letellier says the final investment decision is still scheduled for 2015 enabling the project to be brought on stream in 2019.
Previously GDF Suez has said the FEED contract is a contest between the KBR-Hyundai Heavy Industries consortium and a group comprised of Technip and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.
The Wood Kenny Group was awarded the pre-FEED subsea concept definition study. Tenders for geotechnical and geophysical site investigation closed this month.
The Bonaparte FLNG project will be supplied with gas from Petrel, Tern, and Frigate fields, which lie in the central Bonaparte Gulf straddling the offshore boundary between Western Australia and the Northern Territory about 250 km west of Darwin.
The FLNG proposal is for a vessel 400-m long and 70 m-wide capable of producing 2.4 million tonnes/year of LNG.
GDF Suez has 60% interest in the project with Santos Ltd. holding the remaining interest.

Limit user space
How do I limit the space a user can save/store files. Say I want each user just to have 500MB of space. How/where do I define that.
I'm running a Ubuntu 7.10 server, fresh install, with Apache, PHP and MySql.

Enable filesystem Quota to limit disk space usage for users and/or groups.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
New Users: Read This First

This is the purpose of quotas and as easy as it gets
I am on a journey to mastering Linux and I got a bloody long way to go!!!

Use virtual filesystem with "dd"
example set user1 home folder for 20MB
~$:dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/user1/user1-disk.ext3 count=40960
Make ext3
~$:mkfs.ext3 /home/user1/user1-disk.ext3
Add into /etc/fstab
/home/user1/user1-disk.ext3 /home/user1 rw,loop 0 0
mount -o loop=/dev/loop0 /home/user1/user1-disk.ext3 /home/user1
- Copy size larger than 20MB sure you will get error message "no space left"
- run ~$df -m
- run ~$mount
- 03-28-2008 #6
Now we're talking. But what if I have a lot of users? More than 50.
- 03-28-2008 #7
It's easy! go for quota ...

OK, I'll give it a try during the weekend. Thanks a lot.

A Missing Coach, A Lost Package
An intro scenario for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is now online |
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Published 23 November 2009 |
Be wary when you set out from the relative safety of your smug home, outside the palisades and fences protecting your town. What lies outside those walls is cruel and unforgiving. The area between towns and cities is little more than a seething mass of anarchy, violence, bandits, and beastmen. If you're lucky, you'll run into one of them at a time.... If you're not, the next Warden to fill your boots will hear the same warning.
– Oscar Heilman, Roadwarden Captain.
Excerpt from a lecture to newly appointed wardens.
Something is definitely wrong. Vaerun the High Elf Envoy is expecting an important package that was supposed to arrive on the last coach. Birgitta the Roadwarden's partner Rutger was escorting the package. The coach, the package, and Rutger are all a day late...
A Day Late, a Shilling Short (pdf, 3.1 MB), the exciting introductory scenario that debuted as part of the recent Emperor's Decree Pre-release Event, is now available for download under the "Resources" section the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay support page.
The short demo booklet is designed to make it easy for a first-time GM with access to the Core Set to set up, prepare, and run a short adventure for some friends. Though not playable without a copy of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, this sixteen-page pdf file conveys a grim and perilous world of strife. Check it out, and see the adventure that helped make the Emperor's Decree Pre-release Event such a smashing success!
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a roleplaying game that sets unlikely heroes on the road to perilous adventure, in the grim setting of Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy world. Players will venture into the dark corners of the Empire, guided by luck and Fate, and challenge the threats that others cannot or will not face.
Thank You! First material is online and what material - the famous demo adventure. :)
@Rakshasa: Believe it's a typo. The same passage is in the booklet but it reads "snug home".
I never thought of a home as being "smug" before. Is it a rules term?
First of all. It's great that you have started to make material availabe online. But I still woul like to see a demo video session.
Buy I somewhat agree with Magelore here:
"The sticker shock on this five pack of books makes me unwilling to just buy them on faith alone."
And after all I think Jay owes us a session demo video :-)=)
And while I'm making unreasonable requests, can I point a wobbly stick at the excessive hyphenation in this document? Be-fore, expe-rience, vil-lages ... as a graphic designer these really stick out like a sore thumb for me. Some hyphenation is inevitable, but some of these hurt! ;)
Sorry to be picky, the adventure is otherwise beautifully designed and I know tight deadlines mean that text is often just left as it's typed, but going through and fixing these typographical uglies would really take the quality up that extra notch.
Just to clarify - I'm just talking about converting 2E characters to 3E. While I would love to see 'The Thousand Thrones' campaign updated for use with the new system, for example, I don't imagine it's going to happen anytime soon.
Correct. Hopefully I'm speaking for all the people currently running long term campaigns, who would like to bring them into the new (3E) edition. Certainly no need to convert this adventure back to 2E—characters going since '87 have had their share of simple beastmen encounters, I can tell you! ;)
I think you converted the wrong way. The request was to bring 2E characters into a 3E game.
Re: Converting it to WFRP 2e, I'd say this much:
1. Any Warhammer GM worth his salt can estimate the target numbers on the skill checks given how they are related in the module.
2. As for combat, apply the Chief and Brute template to the Beastmen and you're done.
3. For the social encounter, use the 2e system to run a number of skill checks in succession, track successes and failures and let each result influence the next roll. Google "skill challenges" how to mimic such a mechanism, and you're done.
However, before doing any of that, read the adventure and then decide for yourself if it's really worth that effort. Pity that it falls flat as a testdrive of the new edition. A nice web enhancement for people intent on buying the box, though (hoping that it doesn't replicate stuff that's already in it).
Please ignore this if it's already in the core package, but I'd like to put in the request—for those of us with long-running WFRP campaigns—for some info on converting 2nd edition characters to the new edition. My players have characters they've been playing since 1987, and they're not going to give them up in a hurry, that's for sure!
Can't wait to run this at one of my Christmas gaming parties!!! Come on box set, fly to me now, FLY!!!!
The demo adventure looks really nice! The artwork is also amazing; I hope the core box has a similar quality (I still haven't received my copy of the game).
I'll use this one in my WFRP campaign.

Can I play my old unreal levels in U.T??
9th Dec 1999, 03:22 AM
Most yes. There are a few that have their own scripts that need to be recompiled to work with UT. I'ld contact the person who made the map to do that. But most maps should work without a hitch.
13th Dec 1999, 03:00 AM
You also need to have proper paths otherwise the bots wont move.
type paths build then paths define into the log window.
warning this will take f'ing ages!
13th Dec 1999, 04:19 PM
What did you expect from "paths build"? Instant paths? Nah, much easier and you get more control on doing it on your own. Besides most, if not all, of the old Unreal levels are already path noded. They have to be if they want the bots to work right.

Professor Emeritus, WSU
Last September saw significant amounts of flooding along and near highway 52, including the cities of Pine Island, Oronoco, Hammond, and Zumbro Falls. Also western Wisconsin experienced flood damage including the city of Arcadia. These are federally declared disaster areas, allowing those with a loss to their home and personal property to deduct the loss on either the 2010 or 2009 tax return.
There is a big difference in the amount of loss allowed in 2009 and 2010:
In 2010 the loss must be reduced by 10% of adjusted gross income plus $100, and the taxpayer must itemize deductions. The excess loss causing a Net Operating Loss is carried back two years.
In 2009 the loss is reduced by $500, the 10% of adjusted gross income is waived; the taxpayer is not required to itemize deductions and the amount of the loss may be added to the standard deduction. The excess loss causing a Net Operating Loss is carried back five years.
Reporting the loss as a 2009 loss will be advantageous for most taxpayers with a loss, especially those with less major damage, say a flooded basement, or a person who was renting and lost personal property, or if the government will buy out your home and you have a personal property loss. There is one major restriction and that is the amended return must be filed on or before April 18th, 2010. If you do not have final figures for your loss, just get something filed by April 18th, you can file an additional amended return at a later date correcting the figures. It would be better to underestimate your loss initially, if you are just getting something filed by April 18th.
In western Wisconsin those with flood damage in late September in the counties of Buffalo, Trempealeau, Jackson, etc., your FEMA number is 1944. In Minnesota along the Zumbro River your FEMA number is 1941.
I would urge those with uninsured damage to contact a professional tax preparer as soon as possible. If your professional preparer needs words of encouragement, or advice, they may email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. IRS resources; 2010 publication 547, see page 13, 2009 pub. 536 and 2009 form 4684 at http://www.irs.gov . If you know someone with flood damage from the September flooding in these areas pass along this article.
Currently Im working with those with a flood loss in Pine Island, Hammond, Oronoco, Zumbro Falls, etc. I have met some very wonderful people, many of them displaced, but having a much clearer understanding and love for whats important. Those with flood damage in these areas of Wisconsin and Minnesota did not receive any FEMA funds; not only keep them in your prayers, but assistance is most welcomed.

We soak our chicken in Cornell sauce and then baste it (brush it on ) as the chicken cooks. Is it okay to use the sauce that the chicken has been setting in prior to putting it on the grill? Thanks, Paul |
Follow-Up Postings:
No. You shouldn't use the marinade on the chicken. |
No, definately not. Raw chicken marinade should not be mixed with cooking chicken. Throw it out and use fresh marinade for basting. |

MARCIO FARACO By MARTY LIPP Published June 5, 2006 InteriorSunnyside
Art historians will preach that the creative heyday of Impressionism is long gone, but its popularity continues as many like their art pretty. Likewise, the quiet explosion of bossa nova was 40 years back, but a new generation keeps the spirit alive. Marcio Faraco does not create bossa technically (he doesn't use the requisite samba rhythm), but he certainly takes cue from bossa godfather João Gilberto, who experimented to see if softness would make more people listen. As talented a songwriter as Faraco is, he was overlooked in Brazil and went into self-imposed exile in Paris, languishing in music's minor leagues. Landing his majors contract in his late 30s, this second album continues Faraco's successful exploration of various styles, even using a chamber orchestra. Interior shows his auspicious debut marked the overdue arrival of a performer who is hard to pigeonhole, but easy to like.

red and blue flags
i have turned purplemy jaw
is falling off my head
and crushing the nerves in my neck
like a mother bird cooing to her chicklets' bonesmy blood
is turning to tea
a few of its leaves like driftwood in my heart
beating with me
as tumors
my liver won't filtermy ears
must smell like the ocean
for my hair has turned to seaweed
humid, the brainmy nose
is in my neck, too
but it's an infectious swamp
i want to pluck out all its black trees
and feel the satisfaction of stinging
let the mucus skithe lines in my palms
are melting
on the carpet
and across the roommy stomach
is growing cacti
and i can feel the tumbleweeds rolling
rolling rolling
across the prairie
that is my membranemy pelvis
has swallowed ice
it is sore from impact
from my lust for you
i lie down and feel only whale harpoonsmy eyes
have forgotten my face
they feel like snorkeling goggles
they won't be blue tomorrow
when i look at the suni feel small enough
to the point where i could rent the 28" TV
and feel the leather in those cars
fall asleep to their trademark hip-hop
and drink tea with Geiko the Geckomy wrists
are so cliché
and i'm so afraid
that if i bend them back at all, they'll tear
ember the bus girl
still has scars "where they all intertwine"my latissimi dorsi
has forgotten its job as a tuxedo

grotesque and naked

are fiercely running

it tingles like fireworksmy knees
fell off when i threw up
in my chair
USS kneecaps

''Daredevil'' (actually, the full title, redolent of typical Marvel Comics hyperbole, was ''Here Comes...Daredevil, The Man Without Fear!'') made its first appearance in April 1964. Matt Murdock was blinded as a boy when he was struck by a ''radioactive cylinder.'' The gunk made the rest of his senses hyperacute, and even gave him a seeing-eye radar sense -- except in the color department, apparently, for this crime-fighting devil's earliest costume was...yellow. By No. 7, there was a panel saying that he wanted to make his costume ''more comfortable...more distinctive!'' Duh -- red!
Murdock grew up to be a successful Manhattan lawyer, partnered with his tubby college buddy, Foggy Nelson. Early issues featured much Stan Lee-penned dialogue about Matt's ''handicap'' and Foggy disclaimers such as ''Don't let his blindness fool you, Karen! He's still the smartest, most courageous fella I know! He doesn't even seem to mind not seeing!''
There's an ''Official Comic Adaptation'' of the movie -- ignore it (a) if you don't want to know the plot and (b) if you like visually exciting comics: It's a hemmed-in promotional item. Now then: ''Essential Daredevil Vol. 1'' collects his first 25 issues in cheap black and white, all of them snappily written by Lee but with distinctive art only thrice -- No. 1, featuring Bill Everett's hard-boiled figurations, and Nos. 12 and 13, sinewy collaborations between Jack Kirby and John Romita. ''Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller Vol. 2'' contains, in blazing color, the essence of the ''Daredevil'' movie. Writer-artist Miller boosted the comic's sagging sales in the early '80s, set up the epochal love/hate relationship between the redhead and Elektra, a ninja assassin, and generally bestowed upon the book a grandly tragic air. Film director Kevin Smith contributed to '''devil'' lore, writing eight issues in the late '90s (collected as ''Daredevil Visionaries: Kevin Smith'') that turned the hero's long-lost gal pal Karen into a victim of AIDS, while Brian Michael Bendis currently does a smashing job on the monthly ''Daredevil'' comic, retelling the origin of the character via naturalistic dialogue and knotty twists such as having Big D's identity revealed in the tabloids. And Ben Affleck thinks he gets too much attention from the rags...
