2015 Summer Rooftop Music Series - M&R Rush
M&R Rush had its beginnings in the early 70's, when a group of five high school friends from Chicago's Roseland neighborhood had a dream of making it in the music business. In 1980, "The Loop" radio in Chicago chose M&R Rush to be on their first hometown album, and the song "Rock & Roll Chicago", written and performed by M&R Rush, became the most requested song off the album. Recently reunited for special tours, M&R Rush has shared the stage with Styx, Survivor, Sammy Hagar, Judas Priest, Black Oak Arkansas, Head East and others. The excitement continues with the band's 2015 Ready...Set...Rock Tour!, playing their own hits as well as other classic rockers from Styx, Led Zeppelin, Foreigner and more!

Origins At-A-Glance
Strengths: The makeup products fare best including liquid concealer, blush, brow enhancer, and lip liner; very good makeup brushes composed of synthetic hair.
Weaknesses: Almost every skincare product contains potent irritating ingredients; no products to effectively address needs of those with acne or skin discolorations; some of the makeup products contain irritating ingredients.
Started in 1990, Origins was Estee Lauder's contribution to the (still going strong) demand for natural products. Their approach and claims all hinge on the wonder of plants and the allegedly miraculous properties they offer for skin, whether it be dry, sensitive, oily, or simply showing the effects of time. Here's the issue: Just as there are good and bad synthetic ingredients, there are good and bad natural ones. Ironically, Origins isn't all that "natural" because it uses its share of synthetic ingredients, and the plant extracts they do use include some that are bad for skin.
We have never been opposed to using natural ingredients. However, it lacks integrity when a company throws in any plant ingredient with no proven benefit for skin beyond anecdotal information, and then boasts about all sorts of improbable results. It becomes a far more serious issue when the natural ingredients in question have published research showing that they are in fact irritating or damaging to skin. That's the predicament of reviewing Origins' skin care products: almost every product they sell contains several volatile oils (another term for essential oils), all of which have their share of negative qualities when used on skin. In their attempt to appear more natural, Origins uses quite a bit of these offending ingredients, and they're often listed before the much more beneficial additives, such as antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and skin-identical ingredients.
You might be wondering why, if Origins has had such continued success, their products can be such a problem for skin? Can't women just use what they like? The answer is two-fold: yes women can use what they like, but often women like what isn't good for them. For example, smoking is bad for skin (and for your lungs), but lots of people smoke; getting a tan from the sun is bad for your skin, but lots of people spend time outdoors getting a tan; and using products that contain irritating ingredients is bad for your skin, and lots of products come to the table with these inconsistencies.
As we have explained in the introduction to the book, there is a litany of problems that take place when skin is irritated or inflamed, but fundamentally this results in the skin's immune system becoming impaired, collagenase (the breakdown of collagen) occurs, and the skin is stripped of its outer protective barrier. What is perhaps most shocking is that all of these damaging responses can be taking place underneath the skin and you won't even notice it on the surface. The clearest example of this is the significant and carcinogenic effect of the sun's "silent" UVA rays. You don't feel the penetration of these mutagenic rays, but they are taking a toll on your skin nonetheless (Sources: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2006, pages 30–38; International Journal of Toxicology, May-June 2006, pages 183–193;Skin Research and Technology; November 2001, pages 227–237; Dermatologic Therapy, January 2004, pages 16–25; American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, May 2004, pages 327–337; Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, November 2003, pages 663–669; Drugs, 2003 volume 63, issue 15, pages 1579–1596; Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, March 2002, pages 138–146; Cosmetics & Toiletries, November 2003, page 63; Global Cosmetics, February 2000, pages 46–49; and Contact Dermatitis, February 1995, pages 83–87).
Most of the Lauder companies really have their acts together when it comes to formulating state-of-the-art moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens that leave out the problematic plant extracts (and that represents a lot of products given the almost two dozen cosmetics companies under the Lauder corporate banner). Origins is the exception, and we encourage my readers who prefer to shop for skin care at the department store to explore the truly far better options from Clinique, Estee Lauder, Prescriptives, M.A.C., Bobbi Brown, or even La Mer. Even salon-styled Aveda, also owned by Lauder, with a natural theme similar to Origins, has less problematic formulas.
For more information about Origins, owned by Estee Lauder, call (800) 674-4467 or visit www.origins.com.
Origins Makeup
Compared to the makeup offered by almost all of the other Estee Lauder–owned lines, Origins falls short by virtue of including ingredients that align with its marketing image of offering natural ingredients that have the blessing of Mother Nature regardless of the risks they pose for skin. As omnipotent as Mom may be, this force of nature is a disaster waiting to happen. A secondary reason Origins isn't competing as well with its sister companies is that for many products (particularly the lipsticks, blush, and cleverly named but non-essential specialty products) the technology isn't as advanced. That lack of technological creativity combined with significant amounts of hostile essential oils will help you understand why we recommend exploring similar, but superior (and irritant-free), options from any of the other Lauder companies from Clinique to M.A.C.
If you're prone to being swayed by the promises of natural products (though Origins is not any more natural than many other lines, it just uses the most problematic plant extracts possible), there are a few outstanding gems to unearth here, and at prices that aren't unrealistic. Additionally, Origins' latest tester units, especially in their freestanding stores, are accessible and user-friendly. They include pull-out counters for added space and feature large mirrors. Combine this with a low-key yet helpful sales staff and knowing what to zero in on and you'll find shopping the best of Origins is a pleasure.

Lost Cat by Jason - Video/Photo Slideshow | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under video, previews, new releases, Jason | 16 Jul 2013 2:39 PM |
Lost Cat
by Jason; translated by Kim Thompson
160-page two-color 6" x 8.75" hardcover • $24.99
A detective is walking down the street. It is raining. He sees a "Lost Cat" poster. A minute later he sees the cat from the photo. He picks it up and goes back to the poster. He calls the number. A woman answers. He turns up at her place and gives her the cat. She invites him in from the rain for a cup of coffee. They talk and find out they have a lot in common: both are divorced and living alone.
Some days later he invites her out for a dinner. She accepts. He shows up at the agreed time. She doesn't. He calls her home and knocks on her door. No answer. He asks the neighbors. They haven't seen her. She has disappeared. He makes some phone calls and investigates, but can't find her. He gets a new client and has to start working on a new case. In his head he continues their conversation...
Lost Cat, the new graphic novel by Jason, is both a playful take on the classic detective story, and a story about how difficult it is to find a sister spirit, someone you feel a real connection to — and what do you do if you lose that person?

"Do It Yourself" Snorkel Tour
Cozumel is a top notch snorkel spot in the Caribbean and boasts incredible water clarity which is critical for a good snorkel experience. Since Cozumel is ranked in the top three as a world class diving destination, one simply has to put their face in the water to see why. And it simply stands to reason that as a world class scuba diving destination, Cozumel's snorkeling has to be awesome, too! Plus, Cozumel is an island just big enough to be an adventure but not so large that one feels intimidated going it alone to explore. So what better adventure to try than a "do it yourself" or "self guided" snorkel tour along the beautiful Cozumel coastline.
Now, If you'd like to consider getting certified to scuba dive rather than snorkel, then click here to learn more about
diving in Cozumel
. The good news is that a person does not have to know how to scuba dive in order to enjoy the exciting underwater beauty Cozumel has to offer. Cozumel is one of the few places where snorkeling is easy and very accessible not only by boat but along the shoreline as well so scuba is not necessary to enjoy the incredible snorkeling in Cozumel. The key to amazing snorkeling in Cozumel is knowing where to go!
What better way to explore the beauty of Cozumel's spectacular reefs and colorful tropical fish than by snorkeling. One can easily snorkel via a boat trip (click here for Our
Favorite Boat Snorkel Trips
) and luckily from shore as well.
Cozumel's shorelines gently slope toward deeper waters and provide miles of beautiful snorkeling just a couple of steps from the waters edge. With a simple set of mask, snorkel and fins and perhaps a flotation vest if necessary, a person can immediately enjoy the colorful underwater realm just a few yards off shore!
Snorkel Stops:
Lighthouse at Tio Joe's
Playa Villa Blanca
Barracuda Bar & Sand Dollar Beach
PalMar Estate and Dzul Ha
Butterfly Sanctuary Pit Stop
Playa Uvas
Playa Corona
Step 1:
Decide how you want to handle your equipment options. For those who really enjoy snorkeling and plan on doing it for a lifetime in various destinations, investing in a set of equipment is the best way to go. Having your own equipment saves rental fees and ensures you are always comfortable and accustomed to the gear. A decent set of snorkel equipment which consists of mask, snorkel and fins can easily be purchased for US$30 - $50 in the USA. Equipment for purchase is available here in Cozumel in most of the large supermarkets and dive shops however, since everything is imported to the island, prices will be higher. Snorkel equipment rental prices range US$ 12 -$ 20 daily and many locations now will not allow you to take their equipment off premises which will limit your ability to snorkel in various places around the island. So make your snorkel equipment decision based on how much you plan to snorkel!
If a beach is offering "FREE" snorkel equipment ~ typically this means they don't have much to see in the way of snorkeling. They give it away because folks go out for a few minutes and realize there's nothing but sand and then give up the equipment.
Also, decide if you feel you need to invest in a flotation device to assist you while snorkeling. Some feel most comfortable with the self inflatable snorkel vests. These are available for purchase in the US for US$ 30 - $50 each. Rental prices for snorkel vests run US$ 8-10 but again, many locations now will not allow you to take their equipment off premises.
Step 2:
Book a
rental car
now ... Since Cozumel has few paved roads around the island, you can rent a car and strike out on your own island tour with very little chance of getting lost. As long as adventurers stay on the pavement, they eventually come full circle around the island. Circling the island via paved road can take as little as 2 hours or as many as you want depending on how many stops you decide to make along the way!
Step 3:

Just got back from our cruise and wanted to let you know how much fun we had at Chankanaab Park. My daughter, Emily, had the most wonderful dolphin experience and the $2.00 off coupon for me to get into the park worked like a charm. And, your confirmation email telling us about getting to the park was very helpful. Thank you for the experience! This was well organized and an absolutely perfect day in Cozumel for us! We (the old ladies in my family) are coming back in February, I'll be sure to connect with you again as we'll do the dolphin swim with you again.

I read about your beautiful beach club and would like some information. We have 7 in our party and would like to reserve as indicated on the INSIDER website.

The royal dophin swim was wonderful! My husband and I can't wait to come back and do it again. Thanks!
Tara ~ Ohio, USA
My family and I (my husband and two boys, ages 9 and 6) were on a Disney cruise last week. During our stop over in Cozumel we spent a few hours at PalMar Beach Club. I had booked it beforehand with lots of help from Martin. I followed his instructions and arrived at PalMar without any trouble at all, for a $10 taxi fair. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with us, with it being a drizzly, cloudy, windy day. We had planned on snorkeling but the water was too rough. We relaxed by the pool and had some delicious snacks and drinks. It was very quiet and definitely away from the congested tourist areas and cruise crowd. The staff at PalMar were very, very friendly. The beach area was very nice and looked like it would have been a fantastic place to spend a nice sunny day. I would recommend this location to anyone looking to spend a quiet relaxing day in Cozumel. If we are back in the area we will visit again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Form & Function
Form and function matter! At least they continue to matter to the design-conscious consumer looking to customize the bath space. In that most intimate of spaces, it's no surprise that savvy shoppers are searching for vanities that will make a powerful design statements. And, they're not letting go of the idea that they, too, can get organized. The key continues to be incorporating the right storage options behind the vanity style, no matter what the look is, according to manufacturers recently surveyed by Kitchen & Bath Design News.
Indeed, manufacturers see consumers increasingly taking advantage of the many options available, customizing their vanities and storage spaces to ideally suit their tastes and needs. Additionally, they are increasingly moving toward personalized furniture-style pieces for the vanity and other storage cabinet, with popular styles running the gamut from traditional to transitional to contemporary.
Most manufacturers agree that the biggest trend in the bath vanity is the free-standing furniture style. Sandra Luttchens, CKD, director of design and training for Omega Cabinetry in Waterloo, IA, agrees that there is "a definite trend toward furniture styling," adding that those pieces are "unfitted and more formal pieces."
Sarah Reep, ASID, CKD, CMG and director of design for KraftMaid Cabinetry,
in Middlefield, OH, explains that the vanity can look like fine furniture and even be coordinated with the furniture in the bedroom.
Apart from the master bath, the free-standing, furniture look continues to be popular in the powder room, as well. "People are interested in more fashion options for this part of the home," comments Reep.
Luttchens sees the bath vanity as a "dynamic element of a powder room." She adds: "With the multitude of furniture-inspired vanities, it is easy to create very sophisticated small spaces."
"There seems to be a race between the kitchen and bath for which room the consumer will be more willing to go to the edge of their fashion envelope on," believes Steve Stark, CKD, v.p./sales and marketing for Prestige Cabinets, Inc., in Independence, KS.
"I think," Stark adds, "the bath wins by a few lengths."
Others in the industry are likely to agree. Tristan McManaman, marketing director for Walker Zanger, in Sacramento, CA, explains that the nationwide trend toward creating spa-like sanctuaries in the home bath continues. "Many," he adds, "are furnishing their home-spa- and boutique-hotel-inspired baths to include more exotic materials, design-driven fixtures and real furniture." And the vanity is, of course, at the center of this movement.
Although many manufacturers note that consumers tend to purchase traditional designs, they also note that those traditional designs are being updated. "The consumers are looking for design first and foremost," says McManaman. He adds, "Customers are looking for strong design statements that reflect personal style and taste and luxurious natural materials."
Additionally, he says he's seeing more demand for modern styles, but maintains that traditional styles still edge them out, despite the growing movement for an updated traditional look. Phil Lee, director of sales and marketing for RonBow Materials Corp. in Haywards, CA, splits the difference, reporting that "traditional styles with a modern look" are a definite trend.
Luttchens, on the other hand, has been noticing more demand for art and drama. She's been seeing an increase in requests for contemporary, Arts and Crafts, and Island/Caribbean styling for vanities. Other manufacturers report a trend toward an Oriental, or Asian-influenced, look. Lee specifically mentions demand for "Asian, Indian and even Middle Eastern fashions."
Laurie Galbraith, design & training manager for HomeCrest Cabinetry in Goshen, IN, says that "period and Old World styles are still popular, but a new wave of modern and Asian themes is evolving."
Galbraith adds that "green products are being requested and used when they work within the consumer's budget." She also explains that "urban locations will be more inclined to select a modern look – with lots of glass and glass tiles in all decors."
Reep concurs that traditionally styled vanities are selling well. She adds, however, that the contemporary look is likely to eventually attract a wider audience with its "clean, uncluttered and easy-to-maintain" features.
James Lin agrees. As president of the cabinetry division of Fairmont Designs in Buena Park, CA, he maintains that "there are two sets of style that will always be in demand – traditional and contemporary with a clean look."
He predicts, however, that, more than anything else, a "clean look will lead the trends for now… The market is leaning toward fine lines, airy spaces and simplicity." The casual, island style is gaining popularity as well, adds Lin.
Manufacturers point definitively toward dark stains as a popular choice for bath vanities. Many agree, however, that this trend, while still strong, is also competing with a move toward lighter paints. Lee says bolder but basic colors such as dark walnut and Colonial cherry are hot. Lin agrees, but asserts that "Espresso finish takes the lead… and black is gaining popularity."
Lin agrees: "Dark espresso finishes still take the leading role" with cabinets.
Maple and cherry species are popular choices for vanities, according to Luttchens. She breaks down the demand for finishes geographically, stating that East Coast consumers prefer medium to dark wood tones or painted finishes. Midwesterners, she reports, tend to choose light to medium wood tones. Those on the West Coast are emphasizing dark brown and a "variety of painted finishes from white to creamy oyster and accented with glazes."
McManaman points to luxurious wood finishes such as "deep mahogany and waxed teak" as popular choices in the high end. He adds: "Strong complementary color palettes such as espresso and white or oil-rubbed bronze and white are popular."
Galbraith says there is a "plethora of options from both production and custom manufacturers." She explains that while some consumers stick with "traditionally stained choices, such as mid-tones of oak and maple, others see the opportunity to do something different in their private space, such as darker maple or rich cherry."
There's not much new about Americans going after what they want. That idea continues to apply to the ever-growing demand for all designs personal. "Customization is the key word in our industry right now," concurs Reep. "Consumers want high style and designs that are unique for them. They want choices."
Lin chimes in: "Consumers are not happy with bread and butter vanities from home centers where everyone ends up with the same product. As remodeling becomes more popular, consumers are more design conscious and looking for originality."
Consumers are not just looking for a beautiful vanity. According to Reep, "Consumers are demanding more functional storage in their bath cabinetry – but not at the expense of style… There has got to be a blend of both form and function. They want more zone-specific storage." She points to the examples of tilt-out trays for toothbrush and toothpaste, cutlery dividers for keeping make-up and toiletries organized, and roll out shelving for easy access to towels and linens.
Other personalized choices continue to include varying heights of vanities. "The taller or kitchen-height vanity is a strong seller," states Galbraith. "Sometimes there might be a his-and-her height as well as a sit-down make-up area at table height," she adds. In addition, special requests for storage are also being met, says Galbraith. Providing a drawer on the bottom of the sink base, hamper baskets and make-up drawer inserts are all possibilities.
Luttchens points to even more options that are now available. "Interior solutions such as towel bars and grooming caddies to house hair dryers, curling irons, sprays and gels are popular to keep [vanity] counters clear. She adds that "larger mirrors are much more prevalent today, providing the illusion of larger, more luxurious spaces. This makes additional storage key in the vanity and linen cabinetry. Deep drawers are also important, both for bottled items and towel storage."
Stark proclaims that the days of a basic vanity are gone. "[Indeed, it has] given way to more functional storage and strong design statements." To that end, he points to "wall cabinets and tall storage, [which] are playing a bigger role in the bath."
Storage options in the bath are becoming ever more personal, and the demand is strong for options that de-clutter the bath, thereby making baths streamlined and stress-free.
Manufacturers note that privacy and neatness are key, so at the basic level Lin explains that "doors and drawers are still the choice of customers" looking to hide away their everyday toiletries, medicines, linens and other clutter.
"Storage is a huge trend in the industry right now that spans all price points and demographic groups," elaborates Reep. "People have really embraced the organizational trend. They realize that the more they can get organized, the happier and less stressed they will be."
Galbraith explains that "any type of field inserts or factory constructed unit that is specifically designed to store particular items" is part of this trend. "Toiletries, make-up and linen [storage] are all needs in bath design," she adds. One hold-over from the kitchen is finding its way into the bath, too: the appliance garage. In the bath, the appliance garage is a great place, for example, to store blow dryers or electric razors – plugged in, but out of sight.
Lin adds that he's seeing more demand for larger storage cabinets, such as 60" or 72" models. He adds, however, that the 24" through 48" bathroom cabinets are still the most popular choices made.
According to McManaman, consumers are paying more attention to storage cabinets than they used to.
"We're seeing storage as separate entities in the bath, creating room for bath furniture, and/or built into the architecture of the room," he reports. He concludes that "integrating storage units into the vanities is also a very popular trend."

Good Towels - some problems These towels are super soft and a great size. I didn't realize how worn down my older towels were until these arrived. They definitely need 2-3 wash/dry cycles to tame the fuzzy lint. Out of 11 sets of towels (22 large towels, 22 hand towels, 22 wash clothes), three large towels have unraveled in the interior towel looping. One washcloth became 'unseamed' after a wash cycle (hand stitched the seam back up, works fine now), and four towels have had fraying along the edge binding. Some careful snipping with sharp scissors have made the problem areas neater, but it was disappointing to have these problems when the towels are otherwise so nice.

Softest towels I've had :-)! I've had other so called luxury towels in the past, but these towels are absolutely the softest. They are also very absorbent without being too heavy. I have only washed them once (before using), so I can't really speak to how well they will wear. There was no pilling and no threads coming loose from the wash. They were a little more expensive than I've paid before, but the extra expense is definitely worth the luxury!

very soft, beautiful color; not thick/dense Some of the reviews comment that these are not "luxury" quality: if you're looking for thick/dense towels, then you may be disappointed. They are, however, very soft, attractive and well in the range of what I was looking for. I am picky about colors to in my Edwardian home. The bathroom walls are sage and buttery cream with warm oak-colored floors. I wanted a muted shade that would not be overbearing. The sage is pretty close to being grey, with just a bit of sage tone. I did not want towels that were so dense/thick that they would take 3 hours to dry either hanging in the bathroom or in the clothes dryer. These are not very thick but are very soft, which is what I was looking for. I washed and dried them. There were a couple of loose threads around the edges, but no fraying or funky shrinkage. I have enough confidenct in them to order another set today.

Popular Types of Quilts
Out of all the bedding made, quilts may be the most diverse. Quilts are produced in all kinds of colors, patterns, sizes, styles and types. If you're looking for a quilt but don't know where to start, take a look at the popular types of quilts below to learn more about this beautiful kind of bedding. Amish quilts: These beautiful quilts reflect the Amish way of living and feature solid colors, deep hues, geometric patterns and very little embellishment. Amish quilts contain the highest quality of construction and stitching, and, sometimes, the wonderful stitch patterns (scrolls, feathers) contrast with the simple backgrounds of their quilts. Applique quilts: These quilts use a French needlework technique where fabric pieces are sewn onto another piece of material to create a design. Applique is used extensively in the quilting process and is not to be confused with patchwork. Patchwork pieces are joined together; applique is sewn on top of the whole piece. Baltimore album quilts: Baltimore album quilts came from Maryland in the early 1800s. Each block in the design of these quilts is appliqued differently, often in ornate floral patterns. Bangladeshi quilts: These quilts are made with layers of Saree cloth. Saree cloth is silk cloth used by women of India to wrap and fold around the body as a garment. The cloth is usually 40 to 60 inches wide by 6 yards long. These quilts are used as bedding or as decorative pieces. Bargello quilts: Bargello quilts are created with offset squares in an up-and-down geometric "V" pattern. The small squares of different fabrics and the colorful designs make these quilts true works of art. Hawaiian quilts: Hawaiian quilts are not pieced, and they usually showcase a large, symmetrical applique in the center of the quilt. Most often the background is white or another solid color. Patchwork quilts: Patchwork quilts are constructed of many small pieces of fabric which are put together in an improvised or irregular pattern. This is a well-known quilt style, and examples of historical patchwork quilts are found in many museums. Ralli quilts: Ralli quilts, sometimes known as rilli quilts, are traditional quilts made in India or Pakistan. There is an abundance of embroidery as well as applique on the patchwork patterns. Star quilts: Star quilts are created with a large star shape, or several star shapes, dominating the pattern. Wedding ring quilts: Wedding ring quilts are crafted in a design of interlocking rings. This pattern goes far back in history: in the fourth century it was used to decorate drinking cups in Rome. Wedding ring quilts are highly popular and make wonderful wedding gifts. If you're looking for a gift to please an engaged couple, you can't go wrong with a wedding quilt. Bedding always makes a significant gift for the bride and groom, and a quilt with coordinating Egyptian cotton sheets can be even better. View All Quilts Back to Guides Directory View All Quilts

Prevent Ankle Sprains with Ankle Braces for Basketball
Ankle sprains can take a long time to completely heal. With a high chance of rolling your ankle while playing basketball, it becomes increasingly important to protect and fully support your ankle. The typical ways ankles are injured during basketball usually occur when a player jumps up for a rebound and lands on someone else's foot on accident or missteps as they come down. Another common occurrence is when the foot gets caught between other player's feet and the foot is held in place while the ankle is being twisted in another direction. Lastly, it may occur due to ankle instability due to quick cuts on the court. An ankle brace can provide adequate support for a previously injured ankle or for prevention purposes. There are a variety of ankle braces based on what you are looking for whether you need more support due to a current injury or something lighter for prevention purposes but still gives the support needed.

Comics, design, and so on. | |
Written by Jacob Covey | Filed under T Edward Bak, Lizz Hickey, Art Chantry | 11 Jun 2010 10:33 PM |
I wish I had time to Flog all that I'd like to Flog but until I manage to write some decent design-related posts (as if anyone wanted my take on the history of the illuminated Bible up through the Wolverton Bible), here's a quick bit of editorializing promotion for a few talented people:
• There's a new interview with Andy Smith over on James Morrison's Caustic Cover Critic book cover blog (which is a good place to hang out if you care about such things). Andy is a UK illustrator who does a lot of distinctive book cover design work. He also makes silkscreened comics by way of a kids-book format (one illustration per page/spread). The work is lively and really satisfying to hold. Frequently his books use typography as a narrator's voice but also as a kind of character and setting. I'm always impressed with people who can pull off messy, loose drawing styles with total confidence and Andy manages to do it with deceptive sophistication. These are comics meant to be a joy and they are.
• Last weekend I had the chance to put up Mome artist T. Edward Bak in our guest room and I really enjoyed talking with him about the research for his in-progress graphic novel about the life of G. W. Steller. With all the self-indulgent Kickstarter projects that feel like sad panhandling, Bak's book is a standout for what makes that site a great resource. Anyone who wants to support comics as a legitimate form of reportage/biography should fund this project on principle alone. Bak is doing a remarkable amount of background study to make this book not just some accessible story of an easy-to-glorify character but one that presents a new perspective on a legendary naturalist explorer. Sign on here.
• Then there's Lizz Hickey. I love the artwork of Lizz Hickey so if she wants to make a comic book out of copperplate etchings, then I can get behind her need to raise money for such an expensive endeavor. I'm not going to try to describe her work. She's unique, very unique.
• T. Edward Bak and I were also talking about the Facebook posts of Art Chantry. Chantry is an icon of contemporary graphic design and a wealth of popular culture knowledge (especially of the blue collar variety) as it relates to design. He's had a big impact on me over the years and his lengthy and entertaining Facebook posts are well worth enduring whatever makes Facebook supposedly evil.
• And speaking of Chantry, Mikey Burton did this smart poster for one of Art's speaking engagements. Mikey does some great design work and I was excited to talk to him recently about xerox transfer process but all he did is tell me I should quit it because it gave him spontaneous nosebleeds. What a killjoy.

POMONA, N.Y. - - The Wilmington University baseball team used the early and often mantra on Monday afternoon as the Wildcats swept the only two Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference games they had this week, taking down Nyack 10-3 and 13-2, at Provident Bank Park.
Wilmington (24-13, 11-6 CACC) swept their fourth consecutive CACC doubleheader, keeping a firm grip on third place in the standings. Nyack (17-17, 7-7 CACC) dropped to fifth in the CACC standings with the pair of losses.
The Wildcats scored in all but two innings in the first game, picking up 10 hits and scoring consistently to open up a 7-1 lead after the first six innings. They tacked on two more in the eighth and added a run in the top of the ninth to close out the scoring.
Every batter in the Wildcat starting lineup recorded at least one base hit in the first game, while first baseman Adam Soley was the only batter to tally two hits. Soley led off the third with a home run, batting 2-for-3 with two RBI's and two runs scored in the series opener. BJ Janney led off the game with a triple for his only hit, coming home to score on a Joe Harbach sacrifice fly for the game's first run. Janney finished 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.
Designated hitter Bryan Miller also collected two RBI's on the afternoon, doubling home Mike Godwin and Jordan Oncay in the top of the sixth to make it 6-1 at that point in the contest.
Justin DeLong improved his season record to a team high 6-2 after pitching seven innings. He struck out eight batters in the win, allowing three runs on six hits. He is not fifth in the CACC with 48 strikeouts on the year. Rob Gore threw a scoreless eighth inning before Tyler Fries came on to close out the contest with a scoreless ninth inning.
Ryan Lally shut down the Nyack offense in game two, only allowing an eighth inning run to scratch across the plate. He picked up six strikeouts in the outing, giving up the one run on four hits in eight innings of action. Freshman James Fallers came on for the ninth to close out the game and the doubleheader sweep.
The offense was more heavy hitting in game two, as they recorded a three run second inning to take the lead and put the game away with an eight run seventh inning. The Wildcats knocked the ball around, totaling 17 hits in game two.
The Wildcat got three consecutive hits in the second, started by Matt Lopes double to lead off the inning. Brandon Payne singled, but was caught at second attempting to steal a batter later. With Lopes on third, Kyle Hitchens singled to start the scoring with the game's first run. Janney singled to left field, bringing Hitchens home before Harbach singled in Janney for the 3-0 lead.
That would be more than enough for Lally and Fallers in game two. The offense stayed hot, however, as the Wildcats tacked on single runs in the fourth and fifth innings before putting it away with eight runs in the seventh. The eight runs came on six hits in the inning and aided by four Warrior errors.
Janney, Oncay, Lopes and Hitchens each collected three hits in game two. Lopes smacked two doubles in the game while Oncay also hit a two-bagger. Harbach and Payne also added two hits to the cause, while pinch hitter Frank Samluk capped the hits by going 1-for-2 in relief at shortstop.
Wilmington, winners of 11 of its last 12 game, looks to stay red-hot as the Wildcats get a chance to play at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies, on Tuesday against NCBWA No. 17 West Chester. The game is the championship of the 12th annual Bill Giles Invitational for local NCAA Division II schools. The first pitch is set for 3:30 p.m.

In February 2013, Congress passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, because of advocates like you. Now we need to make sure all that effort pays off for vulnerable children, victims, and survivors of human trafficking.
Right now, Congress is deciding where limited amounts of money should go. We're not asking for new money. We just want to ensure that anti-trafficking programs are not cut.
U.S. government funding to fight international and domestic modern-day slavery accounts for only 0.003 percent of the federal budget. These programs support services for trafficking survivors, strengthen law enforcement and prosecution, and fund prevention programs both domestically and internationally.
This small amount of funding will ensure that the gains that have been made through the passage of the TVPRA are sustained.
Call your members of Congress today. Urge them to support strong funding to fight modern-day slavery.
To find your elected officials, please enter your ZIP Code. If you live in a split district, you may need to enter your full address.
Hello, my name is ____________ and I'm a constituent from ___________.
I'd like to ask Senator/Representative ____________ to support strong funding to fight human trafficking, as called for in the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. I support funding the law at last year's levels.
Thank you.
