Editors' Pick: 7 Best Foundations
We put tons of foundations up to a face-to-face challenge -- see which makeup is the reigning champ
Whether they were drugstore brands or high-end brands, the foundations on this list managed to transform us into women with flawless, radiant complexions. Some were multitasking and eliminated the need for concealer or powder. Others were just good ol' one hit wonders and worked like magic too. Bottom line: These seven foundations had a lot to prove, and totally delivered.
But, before you give them a go, keep these important expert foundation tips in mind:
• Apply foundation to the center of your face and blend outward. Always use powder sparingly, and to conceal or brighten dark circles, select a concealer with a pink undertone then gently pat it on. -- Jane McKay, makeup artist for MAC
• "Always prep with a moisturizer before applying foundation. The extra bit of moisture helps makeup slide on smoothly and evenly." -- Barbie Laurino, a global makeup artist for Laura Mercier
• Ideally, your makeup should allow your natural skin to show through, not blanket it. "To get the lightest, most sheer layer of coverage, use a damp sponge or synthetic brush instead of using your fingers." -- Makeup artist Sonia Kashuk

Good variety of lines and price levels. I want to try the Laura Geller now. The review for the Lancôme was so good, I'm tempted to try it too. Well done!

So I have to try the "Laura Geller Real Deal Foundation Stick," it looked so interesting! I had to look at this article and the worst foundations article just to see if what I use was on either list (it wasn't).

I like that you consistently give a range of products with prices everyone can afford. I didn't see my favorite foundation, however--Lancome's "Dual Finish Versatile Powder Foundation." It is never, ever cakey but just leaves me looking like my skin is flawless. It blends seamlessly. And coverage is buildable. I can't go without it.

Cool article. I would add to the list Maybelline Airbrush foundation. Use it with a stippling brush and your foundation will look - flawless-dewy but flawless. Milani mineral foundation was a surprise to me.-interesting.

In addition to cybersecurity and education initiatives, McAfee Cares supports causes that promote health initiatives, including disaster relief and the environment.
McAfee Cares' support of healthcare initiatives includes direct grants to relief organizations following natural disasters — including the 2010 earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, matching employee donations to health-related causes, and encouraging employee-led fundraising drives and activities that provide financial assistance to a variety of charities. Our support extends to nonprofit organizations around the globe, including groups that focus on children's health, cancer research, mental health, and hospice services.
McAfee supports a healthy and sustainable environment by using less material, recycling, lowering energy use, and eliminating harmful materials in our products. A third-party assessment of our carbon footprint helps guide the company in operating our business and facilities in a sustainable manner. In addition to corporate practices that reduce McAfee's carbon footprint, McAfee Cares has supported organizations that promote green initiatives, including CarbonFund.org and Ecocap (Japan), and our employees regularly donate their time to environmental cleanup projects.
Energy use — To reduce our energy use, we implemented energy-saving programs in McAfee offices around the world, including energy-efficient office lighting programs and the use of Energy Star-certified products. We also implemented power management on all corporate computers and took significant steps to reduce the energy use of our data centers. In addition, all new computer monitors purchased are LCDs, which use less energy than CRTs.
Product materials and packaging — Much of McAfee's security software is delivered to customers through Internet downloads, but some of our products still ship as packages of software and/or hardware. Producing hardware often involves the use of certain sensitive materials. McAfee has worked with our suppliers and hardware manufacturers to comply with the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. McAfee is compliant with the EU's RoHS Directive as of July 2006; the company is compliant with China's RoHS regulations as of March 2007.
Recycling — McAfee manages recycling programs throughout our global offices. These programs include recycling of paper, plastics, shipping boxes, IT equipment, and other e-waste, including hard drives, CDs, and toner cartridges. McAfee is also compliant with the EU's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive on electronic waste. In addition, we are looking for ways to incorporate post-consumer materials into our product packaging by moving toward delivering our high-end enterprise products (both software and hardware) using brown recycled packaging.
Waste reduction — McAfee aims to minimize waste generated by product packaging. Our efforts include distributing more products and updates electronically. This is a win for all stakeholders. Our customers can order, receive, and install products immediately, while we benefit through cost savings in product packaging. And we all benefit from reduced packaging waste and lower emissions from delivery vehicles. For products offered in retail outlets, McAfee was an early adopter in the software industry of smaller, less wasteful packaging.

CRESTVIEW — The NAACP's Okaloosa County chapter will conclude its weekend celebration of the organization's 65th anniversary with a performance of a play benefiting a community leader's health expenses.
"Up on the Mountain," a three-act drama about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and legacy, by Crestview playwright Anetta Nichols, will be performed 5:30 p.m. April 14 at the Crestview Community Center.
With the Crestview City Council's approval Monday night, the city has waived its usage fee for the center, assuring that all box office receipts will benefit former City Councilwoman Lillie Conyers, who served on the council from 2007 to 2009.
Conyers, who succeeded the late Sam Hayes, is receiving treatment in Jacksonville for an unspecified illness, said local NAACP President Sabu Williams.
"We're just trying to help her through some of these challenges," Williams said. "It's hard enough having to go through medical treatment and then the financial issues on top of it are so hard."
Conyers must maintain a Jacksonville residence along with her Crestview home while she receives treatment.
"Up on the Mountain" is directed by Nikki Ford and features a local cast. It is being produced in commemoration of the 45th anniversary of King's assassination on April 4, 1968.
"It was written by a young airman on the base in January," Williams said. "She wrote the play about Dr. King from his mother's perspective.
"I encourage people to come and see, and come and learn. It's a good family event. We're doing it in afternoon so we don't step on any church-goers' toes."
Want to go?
"Up on the Mountain," a play about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., will be performed 5:30 p.m. April 14 at the Crestview Community Center, 1446 Commerce Drive (behind the post office). Admission is $5.

The trial of Pamela Frye Moss for the murder of Henry County businessman William Douglas Coker was set to begin Jan. 7, with Superior Court Judge Trent Brown on the bench. A conflict with the Wilkinson County murder trial of Zachary Allen Beck, which was delayed and reset to January due to the illness of the defense attorney, created the necessity for changing the date for the Moss trial or finding a different judge.
Wilkinson County is part of the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit as is Jones County, which means they share judges and prosecutors. Both Brown and District Attorney Fred Bright, who is prosecuting the Moss trial himself, are involved in the Wilkinson County trial. Bright said because the jury was already selected, he felt the Beck trial should take precedent. He added that the state is ready in the Moss trial and Assistant District Attorney Keagan Waystack is prepared to go forward with the case.
When the date was discussed by the court at the Dec. 19 hearings, however, there was little doubt it was going to be changed because Moss' attorney Fred Hogue also wanted a continuance.
After a lengthy discussion about alternate dates, the Moss trial was reset to begin May 28, the Tuesday following Memorial Day. The trial is expected to take at least a week.

When we start making art, we don't start from a position of, "I want to
paint like so-and-so," or not even, necessarily, "I want to paint
well." We should start from a position of, "I have a need to make art."
This is an important principle; it gives us the strength to overcome
our own bad work, and it illustrates that our first loyalty is to our
vision, not a technique.

SUNYIT box Stevens box New Paltz box
NEW PALTZ, NY – The Hilbert men's volleyball team completed their United Volleyball Conference cross-over weekend competition with a season-sweep over SUNYIT March 9th before the Hawks suffered losses to two nationally ranked teams. Junior Adam Weaver and senior Scott Ross were consistent at the net all weekend which kept Hilbert close. The Hawks moved to 2-8 in UVC and 5-16 overall.
In three almost identical set scores (25-19,25-20,25-19) Hilbert swept their match against the Wildcats from SUNYIT March 9. Weaver and Ross each reached double-digit kills with 14 and 10 respectively. Ryan Ratajczak's 10 digs led a strong defensive presence as Weaver and Korey Schwab earned 9 digs each. David Mellerski assisted 26 balls and passed 8 digs. The Hawks finished with .204 hitting and had 10 service aces with Fred Sickau leading the way with 3.
The following day, Hilbert squared off against #6 Stevens Tech and #7 New Paltz. Both games Sunday ended in 3-set losses, but the Hawks were competitive in each set. Weaver and Ross were aggressive in the front line, both credited with 10 kills in the 25-19,25-16,25-17 loss to Stevens. The same two Hawks earned all three Hilbert service aces and Weaver led with game high 9 digs.
Stevens (9-1, 19-6) finished with 48 kills (.487) and 7.5 blocks as well as 14 services errors. Hilbert earned 26 kills (.135).
Against New Paltz (8-3 UVC, 17-5), Hilbert took a little while to get going in the first set but came back strong the next games (25-17,25-22,25-20). Weaver's .214 hitting produced 11 kills and Mellerski added 26 assists. Anthony Blasz earned the Hawks only service aces (2) in the last match of the weekend.
The Hawks have a few days off before they return to action. Hilbert will travel to Erie, PA March 21st to take on Penn State Behrend. Hilbert closes out their home portion of their schedule with back-to-back matches against Behrend (April 3) and Thiel College (April 9).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Francis: women are first communicators of the Resurrection.
Grant Gallicho April 3, 2013 - 1:19pm
As I moved through St. Peter's Square pestering every American I could find, I noticed a trend. Young Catholics kept bringing up the same concerns about their faith: how the church treats abuse victims, gays and lesbians, people of other religions -- and women. (I wrote up some of that in the current issue ofCommonweal.) I hope they've been paying attention to Pope Francis since they left Rome, because he's been addressing the last of those topics with considerable vigor.
Francis's Easter Vigil homily led with the women who discover the empty tomb. "They had felt understood by [Jesus] in their dignity," Francis said, "and they had accompanied him to the very end." Even though the women initially react with fear to what they find, their "loving remembrance of their experience with the Master that enables the women to master their fear and to bring the message of the Resurrection to the Apostles and all the others." In their dignity, understood by Jesus, they bring the good news. And yesterday morning, he preached on John's account of Mary Magdalene weeping at the empty tomb -- until the risen Christ appears and bids her to tell the rest what she has witnessed. Francis then exhorted believers to see through her eyes: "Sometimes in our lives tears are the lenses we need to see Jesus," he said. And today, during his Wednesday audience, he extended his reflection on the role of women as first communicators of the gospel.
After criticizing attempts to "obscure faith in the Resurrection of Jesus," Pope Francis turned to the question of transmitting that faith. Again he noted that women were the "first witnesses to this event." Yet, "in the professions of faith of the New Testament, only men are remembered as witnesses of the Resurrection, the Apostles, but not the women." Why? To answer that question, Francis delivered a little lesson in historical-critical method:
According to the Jewish Law of the time, women and children were not considered reliable, credible witnesses. In the Gospels, however, women have a primary, fundamental role. Here we can see an argument in favor of the historicity of the Resurrection: if it were a invented, in the context of that time it would not have been linked to the testimony of women. Instead, the evangelists simply narrate what happened: the women were the first witnesses. This tells us that God does not choose according to human criteria: the first witnesses of the birth of Jesus are the shepherds, simple and humble people, the first witnesses of the Resurrection are women.... In the church and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord, in following him and communicating his face, because the eyes of faith always need the simple and profound look of love. The Apostles and disciples find it harder to believe in the Risen Christ, not the women however!
As I read that passage, I suddenly recalled the first time I'd heard that argument -- as a sophomore at Fordham, in a course on feminist theology, taught by Elizabeth A. Johnson.
Commenting Guidelines
Thank you, Crystal. The Jesuits have been very good on women in recent years. Remember that Ignatius admitted two women to the Society in his day. It did not pan out as he had expected but the important thing is that he had admitted them. He had an openness to women. Today, in their collaborative ministry Jesuits work with many women, some of whom direct the Spiritual Exercises, which is the highest compliment Jesuits could pay to anyone: to direct the Exercises. As a Jesuit Pope Francis holds the Jesuit view on the importance of women in the Church, as he had already articulated. I would not be surprised if he expanded the role of women in the church. One has to keep in mind that in the Spiritual Exercises, St Ignatius assumed that the Risen Jesus appeared to his mother first, something which cannot be grounded in the tradition of the Church. so forward thinking are Jesuits on these important matters. There is a new Pope in town and happily he is a Jesuit. Wonders never cease.
John Page wrote,
I have now watched, several times, a video clip of Pope Francis speaking of mothers and women passing on faith in Christ Risen to their children and grandchildren. . . . But the English text leaves out donne (women) at this second point, and has only Mothers, go forward with this witness! The smiling, animated Francis seems, however, to be extending his peroration not just to mothers, but to women in general. John XXIII was often frustrated by the editing in the official Italian text of what he had actually said in Italian.
Tom Blackburn added,
I hope everyone registered John Pages comment in the dead of night (1:21 a.m.) . . . Francis would not be the first pope to be zealously protected from doctrinal deviation by those who surround him. The real test of a pope is not what he says, especially in official texts and translations, so much as the new assignments he finds for his most zealous protectors.
Heres another example. During an in-flight press conference on his way to the meeting of Latin American bishops in Aparecida, Brazil in 2007, Pope Benedict said: That Romero as a person merits beatification, I have no doubt. (Answer to Question 9). The quote can be found in John Allen's transcript of the press conference, and was also cited by Associated Press reporter Nicole Winfield. Did one of those zealous protectors, as Tom Blackburn calls them, kidnap it on its way to the Vatican website? I dont know, but when you look at the answer it provides for Question 9, the Popes statement is nowhere to be found.
Rita --My hopes are so high for Francis that I'm afraid I've been conned by his charm. I"m afraid that tomorrow he'll announce that women have to wear hats in church.One thing that fascinates me about him is that in Argentina he was known as shy and formal. Must be the Holy Spirit that has gotten into him.I fear I simply misspelled his name. Sigh.
I'm surprised no one is mentioning Pope Francis has Occupied the Vatican. The major issue of the 21st century is the obscene distribution of wealth. By his lifestyle as an Archbishop, and by the choice of his papal name, Pope Francis has shown that he gets it.
So maybe the Pope's most important appointment won't be a Secretary of State, but rather, translators with skill and integrity?
Regarding the translation lacuna that John Page has called out for us: sorry if this is a naive question, but what is the importance of omitting the word "women" in the translation? It seems as if several commenters here believe there is something nearly conspiratorial in the English translation; what is significant about the omission?
I am just hoping and praying that bishops throughout the universal church rise up and speak out in favor of women being ordained permanent deacons.
Jim, the traditional view of women restricted their role in the world to parenting (and to being receptacles for men's semen). Nowadays we know that women have a lot of other talents to bring to the world. But since they are still now excluded from diaconate, priesthood, and positions of governance in the Catholic church, there is always the suspicion that the Catholic clergy don't get it. Calling for "mothers" to be witnesses suggests that the suspicion is well founded. Calling for "mothers and women" suggests that they might be witnesses in other ways besides by parenting. Given the current sensitivity of this issue, it's an important nuance.
We might reflect on the way many of us have highlighted how women were the first ones to proclaim the resurrection and how Jesus chose them to see him first. Remember our frustration that this fact being downplayed. Now here is a pope who places this riveting story front and center. This is sensational.
Shephards at Jesus's birth? Another childish Benedict xvi, Jesus' Infancy.Do bishops do not have time to study Scripture,i.e. biblical scholars like ex.R.E.Brown, J.P.Meier.A kissing of Muslim women will follow the fight against Muslim countries like Pakistan with blasphemy law or the chicken policy of Cassaroli before John Paul II to Soviet Empire not to embarass them! Is he a man or ...woman but not like biblical Judith? Let's see..
Mr. Ciuba --A story doesn't have to be literally true to be true. If you leave out the shepherds, a truth is lost.
Gene Palumbo,Your research is outstanding on the Vatican's protectiveness of what it considers politically correct speech. It would seem the censors need close scrutiny, particularly when it comes to Francis. I am just savoring these early days of his papacy, hoping for more of the same.
Claire, thanks for that explanation - that does make sense. I do try to be sensitive to these things, even when I fail. Thanks, too, for not being too critical of my insensitivity.
Add me, a mother of six and certainly not one to disparage motherhood, to the list of those skeeved out by PF's comments on the specialness of women. I have been very surprised reading some comments from women I would consider much more "feminist" (for lack of a better word) than I ever have been--the fawning excitement that PF mentioned how special we are by these feminists strikes me as just plain weird.I'm not ready to write him off as an old man victim to the attitudes of his time and culture, but I remain quite wary anytime women are pigeon-holed into "special" roles within the Church.It doesn't take much to deduct that if the Church is a mess, it surely must be because same special women must be failing at their special role.(I grew up hearing about how women who had gotten "too big for their britches" had "forgotten their place and ruined the Church", so this is a particular hot button for me)
Some of you may remember fifty or so years ago when classified employment ads in newspapers were headed "Help Wanted Male" and "Help Wanted Female." The separation was based on the facile assertion that God or nature did not intend women to do certain kinds of work, usually the kinds that paid better.Women fought against that discrimination and eventually got help in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned the separate listings. Newspapers tried and failed to have the ban declared unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds. At this distance, the whole thing seems both nakedly punitive and ludicrous, until we recall that well-respected people were making what they thought were serious arguments for the status quo.The Church today is where our society was back then, except that the evidence for women's competence is all the clearer after fifty years' experience. If there are any intellectually respectable arguments for excluding women from positions of true responsibility in the Church, they haven't yet been made. And the ban on even discussing the subject saves bishops the embarrassment of having to try, which perhaps is the real reason for it.
Yolanda, in your skeeved-offed-ness, I'm sure you didn't mean to blame women on here for being dupes.I understand Pope Francis's appeal. Look at that smiling face. That accessibility. The fact that the man has never been entangled with the Vatican bureaucracy. That he is known for his actions rather than all the smart books he writes. There's lots to be encouraged like.But being called "special" by the RCC hierarchy should make any woman's blood run cold. Women are special cases, set apart, ie., confined, to certain uses and jobs to be determined by what male theologians extrapolating from male theologians down two millennia of religious thought say the natural order is.
It's the Vatican's rigid practice of forbidding public discussion of obviously neuralgic problems that drives me crazy. Just ignore the toothaches, kiddies, and they will go away, it tells us. Even four-year old children know that's nonsense. Sex abuse, bishops' cover-ups, married priests, woman priests, sexual morality -- just bury the topics and all will be hunky-dory! Yeah, sure. And chickens have lips. Have they no conception that they will have to answer for this silence?
Correction: There's lots to be encouraged ABOUT.
John Prior,I recall those ads well. Coming out of college, the question in interviews was still, can you type?For a bit of humor - I read once that some very large percentage of Brits (60?) had dreamed of having tea with the queen.Well, last night I dreamed that Francis came to visit at my house. I was just thrilled to be in his company though ashamed that my house was not cleaned up and neat. He stayed for a good period of time, walking around inside and outside, visiting with neighbors, etc. I remember saying excitedly, "he is the pope of the whole world." He was so unassuming.Well, for various reasons, we did not get a chance to sit down and talk one on one. He was so much in motion. As he was preparing to leave, and I was perhaps waking up, I yelled "dumbbell" to myself. There I lost a chance to present a tightly worded, well-researched summary of recommended actions re: sexual abuse for his consideration. What a wasted opportunity!I have never to my memory ever dreamed of any pope. Hope must remain.
Carolyn, what a dream! I am smiling. Something very touching about all that. Thank you for sharing it. Yes, hope must remain!
This is bizarre but I had a dream about the pope too, about a week ago (I've never dreamed about a pope before). I was visiting the Vatican with a bunch of other people and we spent the day with him, just following him around and talking to him. What surprised me about him was that he was so much an ordinary, practical, decent person.
A keeper, Gene. Into MSWord and on the hard drive. Thanks to you and Ann.
What does it mean to say the Vatican "forbids discussion"? How could they even do so? Or are we just using loose language here?
Mark==What Rome has done and continues to do is to have theologians fired from their jobs teaching in Catholic theoogy departments and withdraw their licenses to teach in Catholic schools. See Hans Kung, for instance. It can put pressure on the heads of orders to which theologians belong to forbid them to continue their reseaarch about certain matters. It can put pressure on bishops to silence theologian priests of their dioceses. It can cancel the charters of nuns' organizations and assign priests to rewrite them to Rome's liking. See the American nuns. And, of course, it can excommunicate whom it disapproves of. It used to burn theologians' books and even theologians, but it has improved on that regard.Where have you been?
Ann O.,Language will have its little jokes. Isn't it amusing that to fire a theologian and to burn a theologian mean different things?You may well be right that the Church has a more modern and humane attitude toward dissent today and would never burn a heretic alive. But I don't think I would want to put it to the test by giving back to Church leaders the power they once had. Nothing leads people faster to dark places than absolute power joined to serene self-righteousness, and whatever it may have lost of the first, the Church has as much as ever it had of the other.
John P. ==Now that you mention it, I wonder whether the origin of "fire" (as in dismissing from work) might originally have had something to do with firing/burning theologians.
Ann--You are avoiding my question: What discussion has Rome "forbidden"? You have discussed what you have claimed they have forbidden. See the contradiction?
Ann, is this the kind of forbidding you are talking about? In this Reuters story from last year, Pope Benedict calls challenges to Church doctrine on the ordination of women "disobedience" to doctrine he says is "infallible teaching."The lead in says the Pope will "not tolerate" these challenges, but what he actually would (or did) do to stifle the talk is unclear. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/06/us-pope-idUSBRE83500U20120406It strikes me that in these days of instantaneous communication through various media, it would be impossible to enforce a ban on discussion of anything. However, as you suggest, the Church has ways of making it difficult for groups and individuals to raise questions or objections to certain things without losing their place at the Table.
Mark --If you tell your child, "If you do that again you're grounded for two weeks", the form of the statement is that of a hypothetical, but the message/command is, "I forbid you to do that". Learn how language works, Mark. It's not always what they teach you in kiddie grammar classes.
AnnIndeed, I am trying very patiently to understand how your language of forbids works, but you continue to avoid answering my question. How can the Church forbid the discussion we are having? Have they excommunicated you? Me? Have we been grounded?
The Vatican "forbids" discussion by people it has direct power over (e.g., anyone holding an office in the Church, the prerequisite for which is taking an oath of fidelity; professors under a mandatum, the examples that Ann O points out, etc. etc. etc.). Another handy tactic is ignoring arguments. When has a bishop ever responded to an article or an argument posted at Commonweal? For example, I think articles like Prof. Kaveny's on the contraception mandate are worthy of a response from the hierarchy. Where is that response, that, as AnnO says, "answers one by one each of the arguments, giving ... *reasons why* they were wrong"? This never happens. I have been reading and commenting at Commonweal for years and have NEVER in all my time here, seen a counter-argument from anyone in the hierarchy on any of the material presented.
The Vatican forbids when it has direct power to do so, and ignores when it doesn't. Either way, fruitful dialog does not occur. Not exactly a stunning example of the Catholic intellectual tradition's belief in the coherence of faith and reason.
Jeanne, I appreciate your answers, and I don't wish to be seen as baiting anyone.But, practically speaking, does the hierarchy have time to answer specific groups and people at all times? Didn't Pope Benedict directly address the Austrian clerics, as outlined in the Reuters article? He DID give reasons why, as far as the Church is concerned, the possibility of women priests is not up for debate (i.e., they were not among the chosen apostles at the Last Supper). Certainly, Pope Benedict did not address the counter arguments (the reason women were not chosen was because Jesus felt people at that time would not accept them, though he did bring women into his ministry time and again), and a better Pope might do so in a friendlier and more collegial way. But at some point--and perhaps my experience with the never-ending wrangles in Anglicanism affect my thinking here--isn't it useful to have an arbiter say, "Look, right now we see no reason to reverse two millennia of tradition on this point. If the Holy Spirit so leads us, we could revisit the issue, and we trust that, if we are wrong, the Holy Spirit will reveal it to us in the fullness of time."
Jean, I see your point, but at least the Anglicans have wrangles. The Holy Spirit seems unfortunately stuck with working through humans. Having open debate (like the medievals did), where actual arguments and counterarguments are had on specific points, seems a way to let such a "revisiting" happen and to "let the Holy Spirit reveal in the fullness of time." Unless we have the sudden appearance of a holy dove that speaks, it will happen through human wrangling. The question, to me is not whether the hierarchy has the time to answer specific groups and people at all times, but whether they have the confidence to rationally answer any groups at any time. Remember, we still await a rational answer to the arguments in favor of lifting the ban on birth control from the papal commission on the topic.
Wonderful responses to Mark, though perhaps none will ever satisfy. I believe it is called creeping infallibility. And Jeanne is so right about the church exercising power of over those it can, and ignoring others. Mark, I don't think you will ever find a Vatican direct order that says, "Catholics are forbidden to discuss these settled matters: women priests, married priests, contraception, etc. etc.That's not how it works. Indirect language, Vaticanese, whatever, is an art all its own. But everyone knows, as theologians are silenced (Roger Haight, right now), what one can say and what one cannot say.An interesting example is the question whether bishops were ever told not to report sexual abuse allegations to the authorities. Nowhere is that direct language specified, and the Vatican points to Crimen Sollicitationis, (sp?), the 1922, 1962, 2001 and other documents and says, see, there is no such stipulation. However! We have any number of cardinals saying never to report to police; the example of priests who did so who were drummed out of their positions or the priesthood. The names are in my files but I don't have hours to spend getting the citations.The curia works in wondrous ways to both own and disown liability for anything. It's a brilliant tactic, learned perhaps over centuries. Mark, please smell the coffee.
Jean,You said, . . . isnt it useful to have an arbiter say, Look, right now we see no reason to reverse two millennia of tradition on this point. Why is that useful? Also: maybe the arbiter sees no reason for change, but what about all the others who see it differently? Why, on this kind of issue (i.e. were not talking about an article of the creed), should the arbiter get to have his way, get to impose his will? Why should we walk away and say, Okay, you win. Maybe another day . . . .You also said, If the Holy Spirit so leads us, we could revisit the issue. . . . But what if the Holy Spirit is leading us or is trying to right now, is doing so by speaking to us through those who say that the time to revisit the issue is now, and not some point in the future? Finally, you say, . . . we trust that, if we are wrong, the Holy Spirit will reveal it to us in the fullness of time. But what if we are wrong, now, and theres no need to wait for the fullness of time to see that because the Holy Spirit is revealing it to us or is trying to -- now, if only we had eyes to see?
Jeanne-Thanks for responding. Thats a pretty serious accusation you are making against the Vatican, though. As was Anns original accusation. Can you back it up? Can you provide an example of someone the Vatican has forbidden to discuss anything? How, exactly, did they enforce the forbidding?CarolynI am pleased to see you offer that, not only does the Vatican not have the apparatus of power to forbid discussion, it has never even stated that Catholics are forbidden to discuss... So, that leaves us with the Vatican forbidding discussion in the sense that it has not forbidden discussion, it has not explicitly said it is forbidding discussion, and we Catholics are all here discussing that topics theyve indirectly forbidden us to discussdo I have that about right?Cream and sugar?
Mark,You really expect explicit instructions on such matters from the church? I see how literal and limited your interpretations are.You truly mean to imply that there were no consequences for priests who reported abusers to the police after their bishops did nothing? The Vatican and bishops certainly have the power, and have indeed exercised it to stop others - like removal from office and the priesthood. And when you don't, see what can happen. And did.Or being silenced, like so many have been? One example: "Yves Congar, a French Dominican and the 20th century's most prominent ecclesiologist, wrote the following as part of a letter to his mother in September 1956 when the Vatican had forbidden him to teach. It appears here in English for the first time.http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1141/is_31_36/ai_62741542/?tag=co... What I am blamed for is usually very little. Most of the time, whatever problem is raised about an idea in my work is explained in the preceding line in that same work. What has put me in the wrong (in their eyes) is not having said false things, but having said things that they do not like to have said. I have touched on problems without always aligning myself to the one point of view which [Rome] wants to impose on the comportment of the whole of the Christian world and which is: to think nothing, to say nothing, except what they propose...The present pope [Pius XII] has (especially since 1950) developed almost to the point of obsession a paternalistic regime consisting in this: that he and he alone should say to the world what it has to think and what it must do. He wishes to reduce theologians to commenting on his statements and not to dare to think something or undertake something beyond mere commentary; except, I repeat, in a very small and safeguarded area of inconsequential problems...It is clear to me that Rome has never looked for and even now does not look for anything but the affirmation of its own authority. Everything else interests it only as matter for the exercise of this authority. Except for a certain number of cases dealing with people of holiness and creativity, the whole history of Rome is about insisting on its own authority and the destruction of everything that cannot be reduced to submission... Practically speaking, they have destroyed me as far as it was possible for them. Everything I believed and had worked on has been taken away: ecumenism, teaching, conferences, working with priests, writing for Temoignage Chretien, involvement in conventions, etc.They have not, of course, hurt my body; nor have they touched my soul or forced me to do anything. But a person is not limited to his skin and his soul. Above all when someone is a doctrinal apostle, he is his action, he is his friendships, he is his relationships, he is his social outreach; they have taken all that away from me. All that is now at a standstill, and in that way I have been profoundly wounded. They have reduced me to nothing and so they have for all practical purposes destroyed me. When, at certain times, I look back on everything I had hoped to be and to do, on what I had begun to do, I am overtaken by an immense heartsickness.This is not just history but history in the making, today, on any number of issues.
Congar isnt the only one. Bernard Haring is another. He explains what happened to him in his book, My Witness for the Church. A few lines on the back cover describe it as follows:
Haring details and documents his own painful encounters with the CDF, particularly the trial concerning his own writings in the 1970s. In the end, he urges, and exemplifies, a mature love for Christ and the Church, calling us to wholeness and holiness: I wrote this book to show that we can love the Church in the midst of difficulties; to awaken hope for a new springtime in the Church in the midst of wintry frost.
For Haring, loving the church did not mean pulling punches or failing to speak truth to (the CDFs) power. He cites serious flaws in the charges against him, and asks, Was this document of indictment checked over by no one? Was no one assigned to carefully check the indictment to see whether or not it dealt justly with the aims of the indicted author?Here is an excerpt from his response to one of the charges:
The next, likewise unargued, accusation speaks of a falling into an ethical relativism which derives the criteria of a virtuous act exclusively from the historical situation. As I read this charge a strong feeling of disgust came over me. How should I disprove this extremely serious charge since there is not a single item of argumentation given for it? This charge weights all the more heavily since the Doctrinal Congregation presumably is familiar with the rest of my works. From them there is more than enough to show how constantly I have turned my efforts against the charge of historicism, which is made against me here. If I have done this with greater nuance than those theologians who have neglected the historical context of the language and the ethical statements, then I may be seen as having made a significant contribution in this regard so that it is inconceivable that I should be accused of having contributed to the promotion of historicism, of relativism. Has it occurred to no one in your Congregation how weighty the word unicamente (exclusively) weights? May I request that you personally read my book Medical Ethics itself so that you may realize the enormous injustice of this accusation?
He added that, despite the negative experiences, I would not like to skip mentioning that I have found much love and recognition in the Vatican, first of all by popes, but then also by many highly placed and not so highly placed persons. I admonish the reader not to be misled into too quick generalizations. Even today I have good friends in the Vatican. Even there, there are open and absolutely selfless men. I would glad add and women, but for women the Vatican has hardly been a place of much influence thus far. This does not foster a healthy climate, and here lies one of the points in which the Vatican is not representative of the world Church.
Gene,Those are very large and very deep questions you're asking. If our ultimate reliance for faith is in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, how do we recognize and receive it? Have we sometimes the self-assurance or effrontery to limit the Spirit's freedom to ways and means that we understand clearly here and now? Does God reveal his truth only through the exalted of this world? Or can it be a more distributed process requiring less declaring and more listening? Is it a gentle breeze or a whole gale?And what are the effects of human weakness? I suppose it is possible for anyone, even a bishop, to be so overcome by vanity and self-interest that he simply will not hear the truth. What is the Holy Spirit to do? Knock him down and force the truth upon him?I don't know the answers, but I'm glad to know that I'm not alone.
Hi, John,I want to say "thanks" but at the same time admit that I'm not sure how this relates to what I wrote. If it's that you found it flawed, or wide of the mark, I'd like to hear more about that, because as of now, I'm honestly not sure that I've fully grasped what you're saying.
CarolynThe insinuation in your second paragraph, being wholly unsupported, can be considered nothing more than a libellous calumny which I think it would be wise to retract, if not apologize for, post haste.Regarding Congars alleged silencing (for which youve provided a link to nowhere), despite his difficulties with Venerable Pius XII, my understandings is that he published many influential books in the 1950s. This is a most curious example of silencing, no? Even in the letter youve excerpted, which must have been written when he was having a very bad day, he acknowledges that, They have not, of course,... forced me to do anything...One lump or two?
Mark --The Vatican doesn't have to explicitly forbid everyone to stop discussing an issue. It can and does forbid the ones who matter the most -- the theologians -- to stop discussing the matter. If a theologian persists, there are severe professional consequences, sometimes without even an opportunity for the theologian to defend him/herself.You seem to think that general expressions (which are addressed to some members of a group) are the same thing as universal expressions (which are addresedto all of the group). True, the Vatican hasn't explicitly told *all* Catholics not to discuss certain things publicly. It would be mostly irrelevant if it did so because few non-theologian-Catholics do discuss theology publicly. But the Vatican does force theologians to stop public discussions, thus stemming criticism of the Vatican, though theologians in the last few decades do seem to be getting more courageous. It will be interesting to see how much of this talk Pope Francis will tolerate.Again I ask, where have you been?
Mark, while you're catching your breath on that fainting couch, maybe you could acquaint yourself with Google:http://www.zenit.org/en/articles/theologian-yves-congar-s-heroic-silence... concern-trolling in my threads.
Ann--You continue to make that assertion and you continue to refuse to support it with even one concrete example, or to answer the question I have asked you. If it is a serious wrong to forbid discussion, it is also a serious wrong to false accuse someone of same. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander, no?Grant-Thanks for the link. I few you have not read it carefully, as it provides more support for my view than yours.Father Congar reacted to the measures with anxiety and, at times, anger, although he always obeyed. At times his reactions were excessive, and he himself recognized this in moments of serenity.... Father Congar was appointed consultor of Vatican IIs preparatory theological commission. He took part in Vatican II as an expert from 1962 to 1965. After the council, his theology gave extraordinary impetus to ecclesiology.You had to go back 50 years, and this is the best example of silencing you can put forth?I trust you will not consider having a different opinion than yours a form of trolling and that you will not be forbidding discussion from a conservative point of view on this blog.
Jean --Thanks for the article about the German priests who depart from Vatican teaching. Here's what Benedict said, for those who didn't look up the article:"The pope responded specifically to a call to disobedience by a group of Austrian priests and laity, who last year boldly and openly challenged Church teaching on taboo topics such as priestly celibacy and women's ordination."'Is disobedience a path of renewal for the Church?,' he asked rhetorically in the sermon of a solemn Mass in St. Peter's Basilica on the day Catholic priests around the world renew their vows."In his response to the Austrian group, his first in public, Benedict noted that, in its "call to disobedience", it had challenged 'definitive decisions of the Church's magisterium (teaching authority) such as the question of women's ordination ...'"By the way, note the language Benedict uses -- he doesn't talk about a *judgment* regarding the truth of a proposition, he talks about a "decision" (an act of the will) as justifying the proposition, It's as if he thinks that one *chooses* whether or not a statement is true. He's confusing a judgment (an act of the intellect) with a decision (an act of the will). I suspect it's his admiration of Bonaventure which leads him to think muddily about the will and intellect sometimes. He's certainly not talking Aquinas' language here. Also note: in the classic Scholastic language, decisions are never said to be "definitive", only judgements can define. Benedict's implicit principle here is: "what I *decide* is true *is* what is true", a highly dangerous view of what truth is. Of course, I'm sure that if he were asked about this, he would deny the explicit statement, "we can choose what is true and it will be true". But sometimes he contradicts himself.
Mark: You troll this blog almost seven days a week. No one disputes that the Vatican has silenced theologians. Do some homework.
Gene,I was responding to your comment of 3:30. I meant, although that certainly does not mean that you meant, that the guidance of the Holy Spirit is too important in the life of the Church to be left solely to those who claim to discern and declare it infallibly. The HS is a free spirit.
I am certainly encouraged by our new Pope and his enlightened outlook on women from his predecessors. My concern is: Is it enough to effect change? Is this going to be followed closely by changing the leadership make-up of the Church? On Holy Thursday, I would have liked to see 6 men and 6 women having their feet washed, not 10 men and 2 token women. Seeing women as "special" or communicating Christ to our Families - not enough. We (women) feed our families every day of every year - and yet, we are not good enough (because we don't have a "Y" chromosome) to change bread and wine into body and blood? We are not worthy of leading the Church, because that was the mores of 2K years ago. I don't buy it. I know what the catechism teaches, I know this is contrary to the whole Peter is the Rock business - I think Jesus preached with his life how much credence he gave to women and men alike. Women are not better than men - we complement one another. We are meant to work together. When the Pope starts moving in that direction - I will leap for joy.
Grant,Besides theologians, it wasn't very long ago, was it, that the Vatican was, if not silencing, which fortunately is hard to do these days, at least shushing whole congregations of nuns? But of course, they are women, and "a woman must listen in silence and be completely submissive. I do not permit a woman to act as teacher, or in any way to have authority over a man; she must be quiet." 1 Timothy 2:11-12Not an ounce of animus in that. It's just an ontological thing. Or possibly heartburn. Whatever we may think of popes and bishops these days, there's no denying they know and love their Paul.

Costs of winding up RL club revealed
Last updated at 11:22, Thursday, 05 April 2012
WHITEHAVEN Rugby League Club will be out of administration in three months' time.
But final reports released this week show that the costs of winding up the old club proved higher than its worth. Fees charged by administrators RSM Tenon alone racked up to nearly £40,000 whereas Whitehaven RLFC was sold for £27,500 after entering administration in 2010.
Legal fees for the sale amounted to more than £14,000 and it also cost £3,800 to value the club's assets. RSM Tenon has written off half its own costs because there was nothing left to cover it.
Outstanding debts totalled £329,818 but going into administration meant these were effectively wiped out.
The following amounts were owed: £70,876 to trades and expense creditors, £22,500 to employees, £22,517 to club directors, £117,425 to banks/institutions, an estimated £80,000 to the Inland Revenue and £28,000 which was an advance from the Rugby Football League.
From the debts, the only money to be paid was £976.18, a sum to the Government which in return met employees wages and holiday pay from the Redundancy Payments Scheme. The Government itself received a dividend of 4p in the pound, adding up to £976.
Whitehaven RLFC was sold by the administrators to 'Whitehaven 2010' comprising former chairman Dick Raaz and directors Ralph Calvin (the new club's chairman) and Michael Wood. Included in the sale price of £27,500 was £20,000 for goodwill, £6,000 for plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings along with £1,497 for stock.
RSM has written off practically half of its own administration costs of £39,530. The rest has been realised from assets. Some £11,846 was owed to the club at the time it went into administration.
Whitehaven RLFC will be formally dissolved in three months' time.

Have your say
Only SL hope is for a strong enough personality to bang heads together and form the West Cumbrian Mountain Men as a merged entity...but I can't think of a suitable personality...maybe Town could use the new stadium on alternate weekends as a first step.
Debts of nearly a third of a million?? It does beg the question why on earth are they ploughing millions in to a new stadium when the business model clearly doesn't work. Professional and semi professional rugby league in the UK cannot continue under the current franchise format as clubs are continually having to be bailed out by the RFL (just look at Bradford Bulls last week and they regularly play in front of crowds of 10,000+ at Odsal). I know that the new stadium has been chosen as a 2013 World Cup venue, however, it is unrealistic to assume that Scotland, Italy and Tonga will bring any supporters so the crowd will be made up solely of locals and will be sparse at best. West Cumbria has a proud history of rugby league, however, I believe that it's just a matter of time before administration rolls round again.

Pounds: State of the regionWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | email@example.com
North Toledo elevator company Wurtec ceremonially broke ground April 14 for a new expansion, which will more than double the size of its current facility. As reported by Toledo Free Press Staff Writer Tom Konecny, Wurtec's primary work involves designing and building the tools, parts and products contractors use to install elevators; the firm also builds elevators for residential use.
The company has added 10 jobs in the past year, and as we do with any business that invests in our region, we extend a warm thank you to them for not just maintaining their presence but also growing it.
Steve Wurth, company founder and president, said, "A lot of the opportunities we're finding are international-based. It's probably our biggest growth sector. We're just going through a really busy time here. It's exciting for us as a small company to be able to do things like this."
The Wurtec news came the same day as keynote speaker Tom Murphy told attendees at the 12th annual State of the Region Conference that, "Globalization is changing the way we do business today. Toledo, you're in a revolution here whether you know it or not."
As reported in an online story by Toledo Free Press Senior Business Writer Duane Ramsey, Murphy, a former mayor of Pittsburgh, said, "You need to think of Toledo, not as it is today, but as it can be in the future. You have to understand what your strengths are and use them to compete."
Murphy said Pittsburgh invested in its cultural community and reclaimed the waterfront. Those are both lessons we should well heed.
Bowling Green State University's Center for Regional Development reported on the state of the region's economy in 2014, saying that 6,600 new jobs have been created in the region since 2009 for 1.18 percent employment growth. However, that figure is still well below the national average growth of 4.66 percent.
It's a complicated recipe but it is not a secret. We have the ingredients. We just need more kitchens like Wurtec feeding the region's local — and global — future.

Ski areas report robust holiday businessBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | January 03,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Skiers at the Stratton Mountain Resor during the Christmas holiday week.The states ski resorts are basking in the afterglow of the first major holiday of the ski season one that received a boost from two well-timed storms that dumped more than two feet of snow over the Green Mountains.
The Christmas and New Years holiday period was one of the best in years with several resorts reporting record business, Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, said Wednesday.
The percentage increase in business over last years holiday period, which was not a good year, was anywhere from 20 to 50 percent higher, Riehle said.
Just off the charts, he said.
Killington Resort, the largest resort in the East, reported a double-digit average increase in business levels over the holiday period compared to last year.
We were up 14 percent across the board, Killington spokeswoman Sarah Thorson said Wednesday. She said that includes lessons, food and beverage, retail, rental, lodging and skier visits.
It wasnt a record-breaking holiday at Okemo Mountain Resort, but an excellent holiday all the same, said Okemo spokeswoman Bonnie MacPherson.
Although exact numbers werent available, MacPherson said business was way up from the previous years holiday period.
Even before the recent storms, she said lodging reservations were already at 90 percent capacity.
The first major storm right after Christmas gave Okemos snowmakers a bit of a rest.
We were really scrambling prior to the holidays with snowmaking, MacPherson said. Going into that week, we had gone through 115 million gallons of water in our snowmaking system and wed logged over 500 man hours staffing snowmaking.
It was also an excellent holiday at Bolton Valley.
The fresh snow really helped boost business. Bolton Valley spokesman Josh Arneson said in an email. Overall, for the week we were ahead of budget and way ahead of last years numbers.
Not only did the storms make for ideal skiing conditions but that same snow fell down country in markets where the resorts draw many out-of-state skiers. The ski industry refers to that as the backyard effect, which puts people in the frame of mind to head north and put on their skis.
Compared to a year ago, that state of mind, along with more open terrain, helped business over the holiday at Mount Snow in West Dover, the states southernmost resort.
Certainly was an improvement, said Mount Snow spokesman David Meeker.
After last seasons snow drought, Decembers snowfall was a welcome change for the states ski industry.
Andy Nash, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, said snowfall this season is running well ahead of last year.
Nash said the state received 30.7 inches in December compared to 37 inches all of last season and just 6.9 inches in December a year ago.
Riehle said the recent storms covered the entire state.
I dont think Ive ever seen a snowstorm quite like this ... from Jay Peak all the way north to Mount Snow in the south, everybody got just about the same amount of snowfall, well over two feet, he said. Nobody got left out.
For businesses that piggyback on the success of the ski resorts, it was a profitable holiday as well.
Johnny Boys Pancake House on Killington Road came close to setting a record, serving 832 meals on New Years Eve and New Years Day, said owner LuAnne Petrone.
The Christmas holiday wasnt too crazy because its still home for the holiday and then this past weekend was fabulous, Petrone said.
Riehle said ski resorts hope to ride the momentum from the recent holiday. Up next is the Martin Luther King weekend followed by the Presidents Week holiday in February.
Winter tourism adds $500 million a year (2009) to the states economy in visitor spending, according to the Department of Tourism and Marketing.
Last year was an off year for the ski industry coinciding with the lack of snowfall.
The states 18 ski resorts recorded 3,903,171 skier and snowboarder visits during the 2011-12 season down 10.5 percent from the 4,365,906 visits the previous season, which was the best season since 2004-05. Nationally, skier visits last season were off 16 percent from the previous year.

It has happened twice now that a Knott County judge-executive is behind bars at a federal prison on a charge of buying votes, and for the second time no one has begun proceedings to remove from office a convicted felon while he continues to draw a salary funded by the taxpayers.
Something is wrong with this picture.
Former Judge Donnie Newsome kept his position as judge-executive during his entire sentence on vote buying, and his successor, Randy Thompson, is now doing the same. Thompson's office told WYMT-TV last week that he has no intention of resigning, despite his current internment in a federal prison in Pennsylvania.
According to the Kentucky Constitution, once an elected official is convicted of a felony, he or she must be removed from office. It is in black and white. There must be an action taken. That hasn't happened so far in Knott County.
The people of Knott County are again forced to pay the salary of a man who can no longer do the job, and by law is no longer permitted to do so. And this could happen in any Kentucky county, and it's something that never should.
As we understand it, state law places the onus on an elected official, the commonwealth's attorney, to begin proceedings to ouster a county official convicted of a felony. Our question is why? Why is that official not immediately removed from office?
In Judge Thompson's case, he was convicted by a jury of his peers, and a lengthy appeals process failed to overturn that conviction. His only avenue now is to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, a body who hears less than 1 percent of the cases filed.
Why is he now allowed to remain in office even for a single day?
We urge our state lawmakers to take a closer look at the laws regarding officials convicted of a felony. Perhaps a review of those laws could better determine how convicted felons are able to remain in office, even though they are no longer allowed to vote or run for office again. It seems, based on the past two administrations in Knott County, that Kentucky is in need of an update.

Voice actress Tara Platt loves creating new worldsWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Having a conversation with actress Tara Platt is fascinating and fun, though it can be hard to keep up with her.
Platt's mind and ideas move at highway speeds, and she's constantly adding new thoughts to the ones she just expressed. She doesn't want to leave anything unsaid — appropriate for such a successful voice actor.
A former Michigan resident, Platt is a highly regarded vocal talent in Hollywood, with dozens of video games and animation projects to her credit — in addition to her work as a film and television actress, author, producer, writer, Feng Shui consultant and beyond.
"When I was a little kid, I was pretty sure and determined that I was gonna be a neurosurgeon. I love that I got that in my head," Platt said with a laugh in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. She was, around 3 at the time. Then the young Platt was taken to see plays by her mother, and at a performance of "Annie Get Your Gun," she was hooked.
"The chorus was a bunch of little kids playing the Indians, the singing Indians. And I remember as a little kid going, 'That is the most amazing thing ever! I want to be one of those Indians, and have so much fun and sing and dance and play!'"
"Play" is the operative word. As a kid, Platt had to move around a lot with her family. (She eventually moved to Chelsea, Mich. when she was 14, where her parents still live.) As a result of the constant uprooting, Platt found she had few friends to play with. So she'd invent her own worlds to have fun in.
"I constantly was craving play. I wanted play. I'm an only child, I didn't have any siblings to play with, I was always the new kid, nobody liked me. I thought, 'Well, this sucks! I want somebody to play with.' And so, for me, it was always about creating and forming that sense of play."
That sense can be found laced throughout Platt's work. She honed her craft through years of training at Rutgers University and the London Academy of Theater, as well as living in New York and working off-Broadway. Eventually, her passions drove her — almost literally — to California.
"An agent from Los Angeles saw me in a play that I was in, and really liked me and liked my work. So, they started courting me. And so, over the course of a year, we sort of decided that that following pilot season — which traditionally started January-ish — they wanted me to come out to Los Angeles and start auditioning for pilots."
She didn't make the trek alone, though — she had started dating fellow actor Yuri Lowenthal in New York. "And he didn't want me to come cross-country by myself — very sweet of him. And so he ended up driving cross-country with me, and when we got to Vegas, we eloped."
The two are still married now, 10 years later, with years of success as vocal performers behind them — a career path that began in their early LA days as they looked for work.
"We found quickly that our training in acting was really able to carry us in voice-over, because that's really the heart of what voice acting is, it's about the acting, because you take away all the visual elements," Platt said. "You take away all those visual elements and if you can create something with your voice, and it's viable, it'll work."
"Naruto," "Halo," "Final Fantasy," "Infamous," "Rave Master," "Persona" and many, many more franchises have featured Platt's voice work. She and Lowenthal have even collaborated on a book about their experiences — "Voice-Over Voice Actor: What It's Like Behind the Mic," which they also published themselves.
That kind of do-it-yourself attitude is prevalent in the pair's work, especially for their own production company, Monkey Kingdom Productions, founded in 2004.
"Monkey Kingdom Productions basically came out of both Yuri and I's need and drive to be creating our own content. And whether we had a specific company to be doing it or not, we would be creating content, because we're passionate about telling stories. And there's things we wanna do that either we're not working on because they're not casting us, or it's just a story in our head that has to get out."
The company produced its first film shortly after forming, and work is progressing on its second, a mockumentary called "Con Artists." They also make a Web series called "Shelf Life," now in its third season, starring Platt and Lowenthal as superhero action figures. And through all their work, one can sense that feeling of playfulness a young woman first felt growing up.
"If you try and bring your passion and where you're coming from in the world into everything you do, you not only will be a happier person — because you're surrounding yourself with the things that are making you happy — but, hopefully, people will know if they want to respond to that," Platt said.

MOBILE, Ala. (Dec. 4)-The New Mexico State men's basketball team collected its first road of the season with a 58-52 victory at South Alabama. Sophomore guard Daniel Mullings led the Aggies (5-4) in scoring with 13 points.
Freshman center Sim Bhullar contributed 12 points off the bench for his third double-digit game of the year. Senior forward Bandja Sy recorded his second career double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds, a career-high mark, along with a vital steal in the last 20 seconds of the game. Sophomore guard K.C. Ross-Miller had nine points including two free throws to seal the game.
In the first half, the Aggies started strong and scored 15 unanswered points to take a 17-4 lead with 12:50 remaining in the first half. NM State extended its advantage to 17 points, 23-6, at the 8:08 mark. The Crimson and White defense was overpowering and held South Alabama to 2-of-14 shooting to start the game.
The Jaguars responded and added pressure that led to an 8-0 run, and they trimmed the Aggie lead to six, 25-19, with 5:00 to play in the first half.
The Aggies led South Alabama, 31-25, at halftime. Mullings had a game-high nine points at the break, while Sy added eight. As a team, NM State shot 51.7 percent from the field (15-of-29).
The second half was tightly contested with the Jaguars cutting NM State's lead to two points, 33-31, on a 3-pointer with 15:34 to play. The Aggies kept South Alabama at bay, and the Jaguars didn't get back within two again until the 2:00 remained, 54-52. Senior forward Tyrone Watson was fouled with 1:28 left, and he hit 1-of-2 free throws to give NM State a three-point lead, 55-52.
After a scoreless possession for each team, South Alabama had the ball with 33 second remaining, and the Aggie defense held tough with Sy stealing the ball. Ross-Miller then proceeded to sink a pair of free throws with 16 seconds to give the Aggies a 57-52 lead. Sy finished the game with a free throw with five seconds on the clock.
The Aggies have a break for final exams and then travel to Albuquerque, N.M., to face in-state rival New Mexico, Dec. 15.
