The following news release has been issued by Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. Suspect has been found guilty in a court of law.
Murphy, NC— Nearly two years after 56-year-old Douglas Glenn Parker, of Dalton, Georgia was charged with the murder of his mother and sister, he pleaded guilty. On Thursday, April 17, Judge G. Carey Nelson sentenced Parker to 2 concurrent life without parole sentences, and an additional 6 years.
In June of 2012, Parker and his wife were found by Patrol Officers of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office on the side of the road under the influence of drugs. Parker and his wife were arrested by Cherokee County Sheriff's Deputies. After Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agents were informed of Parker's incarceration in the Cherokee County Detention Center, they had Parker extradited back to Gordon County, Georgia.
"We are pleased with the outcome of this case," Gordon County Sheriff Mitch Ralston said. "I commend each of the deputy sheriffs and detectives on my staff, the agents from our local GBI office, the Sheriff of Cherokee County, North Carolina and his deputies, and our District Attorney Rosemary Greene and her staff who all worked very diligently to resolve a difficult and complicated case. Our hearts go out to the family, which was shattered by these senseless killings."
Sheriff Keith Lovin commended Sgt. Harold Mashburn, Detective Robert "Todd" White, Detention Officer Rebecca White, Chaplain Allen Wildsmith and Deputy Adam May for their diligence and team work in this apprehension. "What started out as a traffic stop by alert, Patrol Officers, combined with the team effort of the rest of the Sheriff's Office, helped bring a very dangerous criminal to justice!"

Carnegie Museum of Natural HistoryIn Silence of the Lambs, Jodie Foster plays an FBI agent who enlists the help of a serial killer named Hannibal Lecter in order to catch another killer. During her investigation, she visits the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh to meet up with an entomologist. The museum is organized into 20 galleries and has exhibits on insects, mammals, botany, dinosaurs and fossils, gems, minerals, geology and several areas of anthropology. 960 1280
Palazzo CapponiIn the sequel to the chilling Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter moves his killings abroad to Florence, Italy. Hannibal becomes a curator of the Capponi Library and lives in Palazzo Capponi, a Florentine palace that dates back to the 1400s and holds some of the city's most impressive pieces of art. Across the Arno River, the gruesome balcony scene at Palazzo Vecchio was inspired by real-life killings that took place here in medieval times. 960 1280
Rosemary's BabyIn the horror movie Rosemary's Baby, the Dakota (known in the film as the Bramford) was the Gothic building where newlyweds Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse made a home and encountered their satanic neighbors. The Dakota was built in the 1880s and is located at 72nd Street and Central Park West in New York City. Known as one of the most exclusive buildings in the city, it has drawn residents including Lauren Bacall, Connie Chung and Paul Simon. The building was also the home of Beatles singer John Lennon and the scene of his tragic murder in 1980. 960 1280
Griffith ParkDespite being set in the fictional town of Haddonfield, IL, Halloween used Griffith Park in Los Angeles as the wooded backdrop for the murder of school bully Wesley by 10-year-old Michael Myers.

The UndeadIn the 1957 horror movie The Undead, 2 psychics send a woman back in time to learn about her past. She awakens as a woman accused of being a witch in medieval times. The Spadena House, also known as the Witch's House, is located in Beverly Hills and is where — you guessed it — the witch lived. Its odd-shaped roof and color make it look like something out of Hansel and Gretel, providing the perfect setting for this movie. The house is privately owned and was also seen in the movie Clueless. 960 1280
Washington, DCThe Exorcist steps, located at the end of M Street in Georgetown, are a popular tourist location for movie buffs in Washington, DC. In the movie, Father Karras is possessed by a demon as he tries to save Regan. While the demon has control of Karras' body, he throws himself out a window and tumbles down these stairs to his death. The stairs were padded with rubber so the stuntman, who performed 2 takes, was protected. 960 1280
Interview with the VampireInterview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles is the story of vampire Lestat who transforms a man named Louis into a vampire.

Friday the 13thThe Blairstown Diner in New Jersey was used in the filming of the horror movie Friday the 13th. In the horror movie, the owner of Camp Crystal Lake goes into town to get supplies and stops at the diner. Meanwhile, his entire staff is being sliced up by an unseen killer back at the camp. Despite its gory Hollywood history, the Blairstown Diner is a family-friendly restaurant that serves up classic American fare. 960 1280
Burkittsville, MD CementaryThe Blair Witch Project is the story of three college filmmakers who traveled to Burkittsville, MD, to shoot a documentary on the legend of the Blair Witch but were never heard from again. The film is supposedly the students' lost footage and is very realistic. Some of the movie was shot in the real town of Burkittsville, which is located in Fredrick County, MD. The rural town is a little more than an hour from Baltimore and has fewer than 200 residents. 960 1280
The WolfmanIn the 2010 remake of the 1941 film The Wolfman, the Talbot family lives on an estate called Talbot Hall. Members of the family end up becoming the murderous werewolves. Talbot Hall is really the Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, England, which is the home of the Duke of Devonshire and his family. The estate has 35,000 acres and includes gardens, towers, stables and shops. The 11th duke has opened the estate up to the public, granting much wider access to the property. 960 1280
Piccadilly CircusThe British-American horror film An American Werewolf in London is the story of 2 Americans who end up being attacked by a werewolf.

The theater was a re-creation of the old Eros News Theatre, which is now a Gap clothing store on the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue in Piccadilly Circus. 960 1280
John Marshall High SchoolIn the popular horror movie series A Nightmare on Elm Street, some high school kids' dreams are invaded by a man named Freddy Krueger, who slashes and kills them.

The Los Angeles school serves grades 9-12 and has been used in numerous other movies, as well as TV shows and music videos. 960 1280
The ShiningBased on the book by Stephen King, The Shining stars Jack Nicholson as writer Jack Torrance, who takes a job as the winter caretaker of an old hotel. Torrance slowly becomes influenced by the ghosts that haunt the hotel and tries to kill his wife and son. The setting for the movie was inspired by the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. For the movie, exterior shots of the fictional Overlook Hotel were actually the Timberline Lodge in Mount Hood, OR. The lodge is a popular ski destination, and several other movies have been shot there. 960 1280

St. Vitus Cathedral, PragueLocated within the Prague Castle complex, Saint Vitus' Cathedral is an imposing Gothic church that holds the tombs of Bohemian kings and Holy Roman emperors. Beyond being utterly monstrous, the gargoyles nestled on this cathedral have a functional purpose -- they spew rainwater from the building's roof at an angle that keeps it from running down the walls. 960 1280

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1Locals, visitors and paranormal investigators believe St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the most haunted cemetery in the world.

Violent cries of a small child are often heard in the evening. 960 1280
Gettysburg CemeteryPhantom figures in both Union and Confederate uniforms still pace Gettysburg's battlefield and cemetery -- the site of one of the deadliest battles in American history.

Chase VaultIf you're near Christ Church, Barbados, we suggest you check out the Chase Vault, best known for a widespread legend of mysterious moving coffins.

Visit the infamous gravesite and determine if the tale is fact or fiction. 960 1280
Resurrection CemeteryOn the way to the Chicago's Resurrection Cemetery, don't be surprised to see a phantom hitchhiker named Bloody Mary, who asks for a ride to the graveyard, but mysteriously vanishes into thin air. Travelers may spot Thomas Milners and his sister Marlene on the side of the road covered in blood. The two were struck and killed by a car in 1959 while going home from a family burial. And if that's not bizarre enough, locals and visitors have claimed that they saw a vampire bride searching for her head in the cemetery. So be prepared for a few extraordinary paranormal experiences here. 960 1280

Despite President Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline, millions of barrels of oil will still be making their way from Canada to Gulf refineries, though it will be by way of railroad. According to Fox News, "The amount of oil Canadian Pacific Railway carries down through the heartland has surged 2,500 percent since 2009, to 8.5 million barrels per year from just 325,000." That number is expected to jump to 45 million barrels per year by 2020.
While the presidential candidates of both major American political parties are spending far less time on the troubled relationship between the United States and Mexico in this year's election cycle than they did in 2008, a report from Proceso magazine indicates that the descent of America's southern neighbor into utter chaos cannot be ignored forever. The Proceso exposé details the success of the "Los Zetas" cartel in infiltrating various levels of Mexico's military, law enforcement, and other elements of the nation's government, and it casts the future of that nation as a struggle between various cartels.
If you want to witness the eventual direction of "diversity" in America, you may want to take a long look at what is happening in Canada.

The Organization of American States (OAS) calls itself the "world's oldest regional organization, dating back to the First International Conference of American States, held in Washington, D.C., from October 1889 to 1890." There were several interim organizations like the "International Union of American Republics" and then the "Pan American Union" before the current OAS organization was formed on April 30, 1948, with the signing of the Charter of the Organization of American States in Bogotá, Columbia, with the organization coming into force in December 1951. There have been subsequent amendments to the protocols of the organization a number of times since then. The membership of the organization has grown as well and currently there are 35 members.

A few years ago, Tandy Wilson, chef and owner of City House, offered this tip about earning his respect as a diner: Don't tell me you're a foodie, he said, tell me you're a "regular."
We were having a conversation about overuse of the term "foodie," and how even though it can be a well-meaning label to show a person's interest in a particular topic, it also can carry the snobbish weight of those who salivate over the trendiest dishes – and then salivate over their keypads to type a Yelp review after just one visit.

The G20 Leaders Summit concluded last week in St. Petersburg, Russia, producing a 27-page G20 Leaders' Declaration document that outlines a plan for strong and sustained global economic growth. Weak growth in the aftermath of the global recession and persistently high unemployment—especially among youth—were at the top of the list of challenges.
"Creating more productive and better quality jobs is at the heart of our countries' policies aimed at achieving strong sustainable and balanced growth, poverty reduction and increasing social cohesion. We agree that strong and supportive macroeconomic, trade, investment, and labour market policies, sustainable public finance, a sound and well-regulated financial system, and resilient and effective social protection systems are the foundation for sustainable job-creating economic growth."
The declaration highlights several priorities to facilitate job creation, including "pro-growth structural reforms in product and labour markets" and tailored strategies "developing school and university curricula that support entrepreneurship."
In addition to the declaration, the summit produced a number of supporting documents, including the St. Petersburg Action Plan and a number of papers on transparency, anti-corruption, financial reform and more.

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden's 2nd Annunal Food and Garden Festival was bigger and better than last year! Urban Oasis Project was there to give gardening advice and perform outreach. Many people know about us now, and our fantastic volunteers make it all possible. Many Urban Oasis Project t-shirts were spotted around the festival...
Come see us at Edible Garden Festival at Fairchild in October 2010!
Edible Garden festival was a HUGE success! Thanks for coming!
Danny Ackell of South Beach Victory Garden gave an amazing demo; he is preparing follow-up info.
Meanwhile, click here for similar info he gave us on our Miami Food Garden Tour in July.
On Saturday, November 28, 2009, we carpooled across the beautiful scenery of the Everglades to ECHO in North Ft. Myers and visited Worden Farm in Punta Gorda afterward. It was AMAZING!!! We went with Margie Pikarsky of Bee Heaven Farm and this season's WWOOFERS who are helping her on her organic farm.
There is much to see and do in Fort Myers area, including the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, which have their own gardens and heritage plants,
as well as proven local vegetable varieties.
Our famous monthly potluck for December was a special holiday treat, at Bee Heaven Farm for the annual Farm Day, in the Redlands, Miami-Dade County's historic agricultural district. Great fun was had by all! Cesar was the firemaster, keeping a roaring tropical hardwood fire going all day, for an endless supply of glowing embers upon which delicious corn was roasted on the cob. Zucchini halves, sliced lengthwise, were grilled to creamy perfection and dunked in cantankerous chef Robert Barnum's special bagna cauda. Melissa helped with the farm stand, selling local, organic veggies and fruits, and taking an occasional sip of the delicious tropical fruit wines made by Robert Barnum. There was lots of antidesma wine to go around, as well as food! Local, organic food like (Redland farm raised) smoked tilapia and avocado canapes, a big pot of yummy collard greens accented with Piper betel leaf, avocado and tomato salad, lemongrass tea, cake with cas guava icing, so much more! Diana brought her mom, so did Bill, Scott brought American beautyberry jelly (mmm), Cindy and Richard enjoyed walking the farm. It was 55 degrees out, and plenty cold for us tropical folks! Yuhfen and David brought ratatouille and remarked how they had not yet lost their cold resistance from their former Illinois home. Ian and some of the FIU Garden Club students rode their bikes to the farm, about 15 miles! We froze at 55 degrees with layers and scarves. Glad we had that fire...
Speaking of fire, after most people left, we watched the "Art Loves Farms" young artists experiment with glass sake bottles which they turned into expressions of art and fire. Marian Wertalka documented it and will post the experience to her blog, Redland Rambles.

Our monthly potluck and meeting was November 14, 2009 at the home of someone who has been gardening organically for 40 years, and teaches organic gardening, Joyce DiBenedetto-Colton. This is a photo of her garden! We had a special bonus Taiwanese dumpling making class taught by Yuhfen Lin and David Brookes who taught us how to make the dumpling wrapper as well as the filling. Yum! Thanks to all of them.
Approximately 30 people attended, with lots of new faces, and yummy food, much of it homegrown. Joyce explained some of her gardening techniques, showed different soil amendments, her compost pile, and her worms! Thanks again Joyce!
Urban Oasis Project participated in 'Go Green: Planting the Seeds, Growing the Future' festival at the Belafonte TACOLCY Center (6161 Northwest 9th Avenue) in Liberty City on Saturday June 13 from 10-2.
In its third year, this festival, free and open to the public, is a joint project of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and the Belafonte TACOLCY Center in Liberty City. The mission of the event is to celebrate nature, cultivate an appreciation of plants, and inspire healthy and sustainable living. Included in the activities were gardening demonstrations, environmental exhibits, a panel discussion on urban gardening and green jobs, and information on health and nutrition.
We made new friends in the food desert of Liberty City, and signed up people who want us to help them make a food garden at their homes. Our first garden recipient was there, and wants to get a garden club going in Liberty City.
Come see us or e-mail admin@urbanoasisproject to volunteer for more outreach events!
HSC's Conversation Cafe Series: Urban Food DesertsSummer Topic: Increasing Access to Healthy Foods in Low-Income Neighborhoods
Mr and Mrs. Major of Liberty City, senior citizens with a love of gardening, were not physically able to get a get a garden going, although they could maintain it once planted. Urban Oasis Project volunteers got to work removing weeds, overgrown vines, and rotted wood from the space where they had gardened in the past. We fixed it up, adding new soil, putting walking planks between rows, and planting seeds in the new, revitalized garden! Mr. Major chose from the seeds and seedlings we had, and we planted them. Soon, they will be enjoying tomatoes, cabbage, collards, arugula, parsley, cilantro, cucumbers, peppers, squash, and more. Art will be stopping by to check on them on Sundays on his way to the weekly volleyball game at Earth n Us Farm in Little Haiti.
When we finished, Mr. Major thanked us many times. He is 75 years old, and and he used to feed a lot of people in the neighborhood from his garden. He said that now he will feed lots of people from his garden again!
We gave him a "Happy Gardening" card signed by all of our volunteers: Maria Chercoles, Tiffany Lum, Liz Esparza, Art Friedrich, Antonio Guadamuz, Anthony Olivieri, Cesar and Melissa Contreras.
Thanks to all for your hard work!
The Major family sent us this e-mail:
"Thanks a Million!
Because of your goodwill to others, my husband is once again getting off the couch and going outside to tend his garden. Just watching it on a daily basis gives him something to look forward to. This is a blessing for both of us and I hope he will volunteer to help someone else. Whatever comes from his garden will be shared with someone less fortunate. God bless all of you and yours. The Major Family."
Urban Oasis Project members attended the premiere of A Chemical Reaction , a film about the dangers of chemical lawn maintenance, on November 6th, on Miami Beach.
Organic cuisine was served, and filmmakers Brett Plymale and Paul Tukey were there, and they share our vision of no chemical pesticides in home lawns. Paul Tukey commented,
"You should be be really concerned about lawn chemicals here in South Florida, where the water table is just a few feet below the surface. You put it on the lawn today, and you
drink it tomorrow."
In Hudson, Quebec, a town ordinance banning lawn chemicals was passed. Chemlawn sued them in Canada's Supreme Court, and the townspeople won!
Since then, many others have followed. See what a small group of committed citizens can do: movie trailer and official website here.
Melissa Contreras was a guest on Topical Curremts on October 20th, at 1:00 pm, 91.3 FM. Archived show will be available www.wlrnradio.org.
This garden was made for a single mom with 5 young children. On of the kids has cerebral palsy. She is bravely leading her family as she gets up for work as a bank teller every day, gets 5 kids ready for school, works all day and comes home to help 5 kids with homework, makes dinner for everyone, keeps the clothes washed and the house clean, and then has to bathe some of them, take care of special needs, and then finally get herself ready for another day of the same. She makes just a little too much money for government assistance, but comes up short with an $1100 rent bill every month. We hope her garden will help with some of the food bill, and get the kids excited about gardening for life. These children were thrilled to get a garden, and helped us make it while Mom was still at work. If you would like to offer any special help for this proud family, their greatest need is food at the moment. Real food, not artificial food-like substances sold in the local convenience stores in this urban food desert. Maybe you would like to donate your CSA share if you go away for a week, or share some of your own garden's produce, or fruit from your trees. Maybe you will do a little extra holiday baking, and we'll take her one of those special pies your grandmother taught you to make. E-mail us if you want to help this valiant young woman and her kids.
Update: We visited Garden #2, the plants are up and it is doing great! The kids, without Mom telling them, water the plants every day. They are so excited to see their garden grow. We planted a longan tree for them as well, and the kids are taking good care of it. These kids will know where their food comes from and be empowered to grow fresh, nutritious vegetables and fruit in a food desert where junk food is often the only "food" found for purchase. We were so proud to see these kids take charge of their garden on their own. What a great family activity!
We were at the Miami Health and Safety Fair at West End Park, 250 SW 60th Ave, Miami, FL 33144 from 10-3 on Saturday May 9th. If you would like to volunteer for future events, to help staff the table and encourage people to plant edibles in their landscape and create food gardens, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
We had a potluck dinner at Melissa's house at 5:00 pm afterwards. We brought things made with our garden produce.
August 1st Meeting and Potluck (Gardenluck) dinner was great! We saw many new faces! Thank you to our hostess, Yvrose Valdez, for the space and the tour of her amazing yard, her urban oasis, a shining example of what we represent. Yvrose has nearly every square inch of her yard planted with food-producing plants for people, butterflies, and wildlife. The mockingbirds and tree frogs we observed were quite happy. Her yard is 1/4 acre, much of it occupied by the house, and still she manages to produce much of her own food.
As promised, here is more info on the Fairchild Challenge Green Cuisine category I judged:
Trina Sargalski, a fellow judge and author of Miami Dish, a local food blog, did a great job on documenting the event, with all details, text, and photos, so click on this link to see it:

We reached out to many new gardeners, many of whom joined our e-mail list. Welcome!
Thank you for listening to our local NPR station, WLRN, 91.3 FM. On Oct. 20, 2009, I was a guest on Topical Currents. Other guest was Sam van Leer of www.urban-paradise.org. Please see below and explore the rest of our website. If you have questions, or would like me to post more info, please click on "Contact Us" under "Navigation" on the left of this page.
I mentioned 2 books highlighting methods for closer planting distances to grow more food in a small space:
Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew: Makes planting easy, especially good for beginners. Fringe benefits include teaching real world math skills to kids. A Simple system that adapts to all levels of experience, physical ability, and geographical location.Grow all you want and need in only 20% of the space of a conventional row garden.
Save time, water, work and money!
How to Grow more Vegetables* by John Jeavons: Great system, especially made for helping people feed themselves. Bonus: available in many languages. In my house, we have native speakers of 2 languages, so this is something we can share. GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming approach is low-cost and non-polluting. It maximizes agricultural yields, builds soil fertility, and minimizes inputs of water, energy, and nutrients in organic fertilizer form. Ecology Action has demonstrated results in helping communities in the U.S. and worldwide to grow plentiful and nutritious food without depleting precious natural resources, and by using sophisticated, yet low-technology approaches to farming and marketing. Ecology Action's work is centered at its Common Ground Research and Demonstration Garden/Mini-Farm located in Willits in northern California. The site was chosen due to its difficult growing conditions, including poor soil quality and hilly terrain, to best demonstrate the effectiveness of the GROW BIOINTENSIVE approach and its adaptability to diverse climates and cultures. The garden serves as one of the oldest, long-term sustainable agriculture research projects in the world.
Both are good, I use both. Click on the links above to go to their websites to order books and get lots of free info as well. Just remember that the rules are different here in South Florida. Our climate is unique, our "soil" is often rock or sand. Don't try to grow asparagus, walnuts, or other trees or perennials which are not suited to our climate. DO grow annual vegetables, nearly all do well here from October through April. DO grow tropical fruits and perennials suited to Zone 10. Visit this page for South Florida specific info.
About what kinds of soil to use in your garden:
There a many ways of doing things, experiment, adapt, find what works best for you. Soil or planting media options:
http://www.fairchildgarden.org/livingcollections/gardeningandhorticulture/soilsandmedia/ Look under "media components" at bottom of page.
http://www.squarefootgardening.com/index.php/General/is-commercial-premixed-soil-just-as-good.html (uses vemiculite, we think perlite is better)
http://www.squarefootgardening.com/index.php/General/proportions-for-making-mels-mix.html (uses vemiculite, we think perlite is better)
http://miami-dade.ifas.ufl.edu/pdfs/master_gardener/Raised%20Bed%20Garden%20Book.pdf (Page 9 of this .pdf book addresses soil.)
On WLRN, I mentioned using "Organic Compost" as a soil or planting medium in your raised-bed vegetable garden. This is sold in approximately 40-lb. bags at garden and home store retailers. (Like the big orange one.) Because I think it is better for people to start now than to wait for perfection, I recommend this easily purchased option, which retails for around $1.50 per bag. NOTE: We have just discovered that some bags of this compost are not fully finished, which mean that the compost will utilize any nitrogen in the mix to continue breaking down. This will cause a nitrogen deficiency (yellow older leaves and poor growth) in some plants. Solution: mix in some slow-release, high nitrogen fertilizer. This comes in organic form as blood meal, cottonseed meal, grass clippings, alfalfa pellets (bunny food). If you decide to use commercial fertilizer, make sure it is in "slow release" form, like Osmocote, Dynamite, or others. Never use water-soluble powders like the blue Miracle Gro solution. This leaches out of the soil immediately, and into the water table. Not good.
A few words about compost: Ideally, you would make your own compost, and I hope you are doing that. I make my own, but I use it for a soil amendment because I just can't make enough of it! Some municipalities have free compost, like the City of Miami, and if it is available (check first, they do run out), and you can get a truck to go get it, and have shovels to put it in your vehicle, by all means use it. (Art puts a tarp down in the back of a RAV 4 and shovels it in.)
I called the company that makes the "Organic Compost" mentioned above, and asked where it comes from. They said it is composted cow manure from small to medium-sized farms in Georgia. Yes, it has a carbon footprint, but a not-so-big one. It also does not come from 20,000 animal CAFOs in the Midwest, which have more problems than a large carbon footprint.
We collected gardening tools, seeds, plants, pots, and made new friends with our presence at Fairchild every Thursday night in April.
Thank you to volunteers who helped staff the table, and to the nice folks who took the time to bring us supplies for use in gardening projects.

Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.

Thai and Mexican are two of my favorites. I have a small dog a papillon. I am an animal lover. I enjoy riding horses and one day would love to have a horse ranch out west. I cannot be with someone who is not an animal lover. I like motorcycling, golfing, tennis, boating, horse racing, auto racing, fine wine, travel. For music I prefer trance/progressive and house. I really love music. My ideal day is a nice hot sunny one where there is day drinking involved, water activities, good friends and food.

I listened to the Comcast representative call on soundcloud recently, and although it was infuriating, I couldn't help but start laughing out of sheer disbelief. Other things that seriously aggravate me may lead to me laughing in exasperation, but I don't think of "exasperation" as necessarily including laughter. Is there a word for this kind of laughter, or for anger that is so intense that it causes laughter?

This could be a form of manic laughter, which happens when someone is just too revved up that the laughter spills out of them.
If the exasperation that boils over into laughter is scornful or mocking, it could be called sardonic laughter.
But when it's the kind of thing you see in cartoon caricatures of evil characters, then it's maniacal laughter.
Hysterical laughter. You are beyond yourself at such a moment, presumably.

If it were me, I would focus on the first name. Try to find a first name which you think sounds striking with Bambrey. Your daughter will be referred to as _______ Bambrey much more often than she will be referred to by her first and middle names. Maybe a first name beginning with a B - alliterative names can often sound striking or special (like a storybook character).

2004 Chevrolet Blazer Q&A
2004 Chevrolet Blazer Question: replace seals on or around transfer case
my chevy blazer keeps starting on fire when the transmission fluid boils out of the transfer case - Visitor
Answer 1
The first thing to do is to have a repair shop identify the exact source of the leak to determine the repairs necessary. Could it be engine oil leaking from valve cover gaskets or transmission fluid leaking on to the exhaust that is causing the fumes or smoke. The area will have to be washed down and if the leak is difficult to find, a dye may be needed to be put in the oil, this dye has florescent material in it that can be viewed under an ultra violet light to pinpoint the exact source of the leak and then give you an accurate estimate. - patrick mannion

Thread: Nearly Done?
May 1st, 2012 #1
Nearly Done?
A quick character sketch. I would normally call it finished at this stage but I want to push this one further and don't know how.
Either that or I'll use it as a sketch for a more complex piece - I'm not very good at that, I usually abandon sketches and never take them it further because I don't know WHAT to take further.
She's called Kara. The daughter of an infamous witch, she's trying to break away from her mother's shadow. A young woman with a lot of potential, she's eager to prove herself and a little sadistic.
I would really appreciate any advice on how to finish/improve this!
I was thinking about detailing the outfit more but I'm unsure of how to do so effectively without taking attention away from the face.

For some reason her nose looks like it's a little squished to the right for some reason. I can understand the nose being stylistically small, but the face looks off somehow. I think it's because her nose and mouth aren't as wide as her eyes are.
May 2nd, 2012 #3
Id soften up some of the edges, and give her some form shadows. Ive done a bit of a paintover to illustrate. I wouldn't worry about detailing the outfit if the face is what you're wanting to focus on. Simply show the effects of the light, and you're good to go.

Maybe the contrast on my monitor is too high but I don't think it needs to be darker. Looks pretty finished to me. Only thing I see really is her right eye seems a bit too far displaced and her nose could use just a little adjustment. Are the whites of her eyes supposed to be green?
May 2nd, 2012 #5
Her eyes are about 4 inches behind her lips. How does that happen?

I think the eyes are a bit off in placement. I don't think I fixed it in the paintover but just some idea of where it could be.

Her hair seems too big for her head, and the shading on her breast looks a bit weird since it's so much redder than the rest of the skin. It also looks like only that breast has a push-up bra. Still, it's a nice portrait.
May 6th, 2012 #8
Ok thanks guys!
I've made a few small changes and I think I'm happy with it.
I moved her right eye (it definitely needed it), added some 'push' to her left breast, adjusted her nose a little, oh and gave her an ear... and I feel like it's much better so thanks so much for all your advice.
I do agree with Blankstate that it doesn't need to be darker. I experimented adding shadows but they just didn't look right with the red secondary light source.
The whites of her eyes are supposed to be darker than if she were human and that's why they're green I thought they would pick up on the background and all that.
arenhaus, I'm not sure what you mean or how to fix it
Still, I think I'll call this one finished, unless I look at it in the morning and realize I must have been drunk when I was painting tonight.
May 7th, 2012 #9
Hey, this isn't perfect, but it might help a bit.
Edit: Just noticed her boobs are off-centre too. Draw a line from where her clavicles meet and you'll notice they're way off - it becomes more apparent in my redline, where you can see the neck more clearly. So, that's another thing to think about.

May 7th, 2012 #10
Thanks Kveldvaahiim that helped loads!
I've redone the shoulder and neck area, moved the boobage, a few other little things and I'm happier. I agree the hair is very big on her head but it's supposed to be big and fluffy. I've taken some away on her right so it looks less like a helmet, but I would prefer to leave it big and just assume she's done a LOT of backcombing.
I seem to have a habit of making hair way too big though and it's something I need to work on.
I think I'm ready to leave this and go onto the next one.
Thanks so much again everyone.
