The Crucifixion of�Jesus
The Crucifixion of�Jesus
16 So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.
17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).
18 There they crucified him, and with him two others�one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth , the king of the jews .
20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.
21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, �Do not write �The King of the Jews,� but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.�
22 Pilate answered, �What I have written, I have written.�
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
�Let�s not tear it,� they said to one another. �Let�s decide by lot who will get�it.�
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
�They divided my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.�[a]
So this is what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother�s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, �Woman,[b] here is your son,�
27 and to the disciple, �Here is your mother.� From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.
The Death of Jesus
The Death of Jesus
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, �I am thirsty.�
29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus� lips.
30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, �It is finished.� With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.
33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus� side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.
35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.
36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: �Not one of his bones will be broken,�[c]
37 and, as another scripture says, �They will look on the one they have pierced.�[d]
The Burial of Jesus
The Burial of Jesus
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate�s permission, he came and took the body away.
39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e]
40 Taking Jesus� body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.
41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Nice idea. It looks like the mirror is a flexible reflective surface.
My Collections:

Polaroid-proportioned, flexible mirror frame. Perfect for slipping into a pocket, purse, or large wallet... and way cooler and less girly than a compact. Everything looks cooler when it's framed like a Polaroid, even your runny mascara.
miumina's recommendation
original and fun little mirror. would look perfect on a desk.

No one is immune to the occasional (or not so occasional) need for a mirror. As a mirror that looks like a polaroid, this seems to be the right option for those in need of a small reflector.

'Survivor' Standoff: But Who Wins?
Original "Survivor" contestant Stacey Stillman, 38, who was the third to leave the show last summer, and the TV series production company involved in some current litigation with her each claimed victory in a judge's tentative ruling on Monday, reports the Associated Press. Stillman, a San Francisco attorney who alleges the CBS reality show was rigged against her, cannot be sued for breach of contract because of her claims, said L.A. Superior Court Judge Ralph Dau. But the jurist did indicate that his official ruling would allow the SEG production company to proceed with its defamation claim against Stillman. Dau also said that a confidentiality clause in the agreement between Stillman and the show's producer wasn't undermined because Stillman made her comments after the first season of "Survivor" had aired. "I'm elated," said Stillman. "I'm just thrilled that the judge has ruled I can't be sued for speaking truthfully about illegal activities." Andy White, a lawyer representing producer SEG (formerly Survivor Entertainment Group) termed Monday's ruling "a mixed bag" but praised Dau's apparent decision to let the defamation action against Stillman proceed. Meanwhile, on the set of the third version of "Survivor" now preparing to shoot in Kenya, controversy is also brewing. The East African Standard newspaper reports that 20 square kilometers of the Shaba National Reserve have been cleared to make way for sets and accommodations, a move that has "destroyed the environment and scared away wild animals."

A U.S. Department of Education evaluation revealed that when at-risk students are taught as if they are gifted and talented, they are likely to perform better academically.
The results of the Project Bright Idea pilot program — which took place in Washington, D.C. school districts that received a high level of federal funds because of a high percentage of low-income children — parallels what's happening here in Detroit.
Within three years, 15 to 20 percent of students studied who were originally identified as having normal or below-normal intelligence were identified as being academically and intellectually gifted, up from zero the year the pilot program began.
For Detroit parents, the message is simple: Find a school that believes in student achievement, regardless of obstacles, and your child is likely to become an achiever. One such school, Brewer Academy, is right here in the heart of Detroit's east side.
According to principal Cecily Wilson: "At Brewer Academy, we charge our kids with taking responsibility for their education and success. It doesn't take them long to learn that when they walk through the doors of Brewer Academy, they need to be ready to perform and to participate in a premier educational experience. I'm preparing kids for higher education — from Howard to Harvard and everything in between.
"Our students are taught to exceed all expectations, including their own."
Its focus on technology and use of Netbooks, as well as its academic clubs and activities — from its science fair, DAPCEP, Newspaper and Mathematic clubs to its special school-wide programs including its Country of the Month, Word of the Week and poetry club to its basketball and cheer teams.
First Lady Michelle Obama recognized Brewer Academy, which was the first school ever to send an all-female team to compete in the National Science Bowl Championship.
■ 30% increase in 8th Grade Language Arts MEAP scores over prior year
■ 17% increase in 8th Grade Math scores MEAP over prior year
■ Surpassed DPS district scores in 12 of 14 categories on MEAP tests
"Our kids know that when you walk into the doors of Brewer,
you come in to get a premier education."
— Cecily Wilson, principal, Brewer Academy
When any woman walks into a classroom at Brewer Academy on the city's east side, the young men have been taught to immediately spring to their feet and provide the appropriate greeting — either "Good morning, ma'am" or "Good afternoon, ma'am." And they do not sit back down until that woman acknowledges their greeting.
I Am a Man
This simple yet highly impactful gesture is part of Principal Cecily Wilson's plan to turn her "Brewer boys" into young men. Several years ago, Wilson created the I Am A Man club to ensure "our young Black boys are viewed as gentlemen," she said.
"They said it takes a man to teach a boy how to be a man. I can't do that," said Wilson. "But I can teach you how to be a gentleman, and I can teach you how to respect a lady. These young men are respectful in every aspect of the word."
Beulah Cain Brewer, the first African-American principal in Detroit Public Schools — the woman the school is named after — would be proud.
On a recent Thursday afternoon, the students of the I Am A Man club shared a special presentation and recited the poem "I Am A Man," written by Principal Wilson specifically for club members.
Standing upright in their collared maroon shirts forming three jagged lines in the school's gymnasium, one student proudly dons a graduation cap, another holds a basketball, and another wears his Academic Games Championship medals.
Together, the students recite the poem, then individually greet their guests with a firm handshake and a one-sentence confirmation that they are destined to succeed.
The power in words…
"Hello, my name is Carlito McIntyre. I am being raised by a single parent, and I will become a productive man."
McIntyre, a 14-year-old eighth grader at Brewer, said being a member of the I Am a Man club has taught him something significant.
"I'm an athlete, I play basketball," he said. "But I'm also a 3.8 student. I want to play basketball professionally when I grow up, and my grades can help me to get a scholarship to get into college, and then have a chance to play in the NBA. Being a member of I Am A Man helped me to see that my grades are just as important as my athletic abilities."
Every year, Principal Wilson selects a different group of young men to learn the poem and make it a part of their educational experience at Brewer. When the program originated, teachers would recommend students who were struggling either personally or academically for the club. Students now ask to become members themselves without being prompted by a teacher.
"This is a group of young men who have really struggled since they've been here," she said. "One young man, for instance, catches the bus every day. The DDOT (Detroit Department of Transportation) bus. He lives across the street from an EAA (Education Achievement Authority) school. But every day, he catches the DDOT bus to come here."
"Another young man came from an EAA school. He had been suspended for three months," she said. "Now all of these young men are honor roll students. They're a phenomenal group of young men who work hard and they've proven themselves to be true gentlemen."
Say YES to school clubs
Similar to the I Am A Man club, all of the after-school programs and extracurricular activities at Brewer are purposefully tied to either personal or academic growth for the students.
Tyjuan Nicholas Thomas, a 12-year-old seventh grader at Brewer, is a member of the YES Club (Young Educators Society), Newspaper Club, Academic Games, Science Bowl and a host of other activities. He also holds a 4.0 grade point average.
The students who are involved in the YES Club are all honor students in grades 6-8 who have an interest in teaching. YES Club members are assigned to a specific elementary classroom where they work one-on-one with younger students three days per week for an hour each day. They read to the students, help with mathematics and other assignments, and intervene if the students are having behavioral problems.
"We help them to improve academically," said Thomas. "When a teacher is having problems with keeping certain students in order, they request the assistance of the YES Club and we help them out. We work with the students alone and evaluate what's going on in the classroom to help the students get better."
Thomas said he would encourage other students to get involved in multiple activities.
"It does help you out with being successful, too," he said.
His advice on achieving a perfect 4.0: "I would tell them to work hard, and do not fool around in class, unless it's a really fun activity. And if you could, ask the teacher if you can volunteer for any special activities or extra credit assignments."
The academic clubs at Brewer are not just exciting for the students. One in particular has even gained recognition from First Lady Michelle Obama. Brewer held the title of National Science Bowl Regional Champions in both 2010 and 2011, and was the only urban school to attend the National Science Bowl Championship, Wilson proudly proclaims.
"We had the first all-female team to attend the National Science Bowl Championship in Washington, D.C. The First Lady came to the championships, and she wanted to arbitrarily select any group to meet with," Wilson recalls. "When she saw our young ladies, she wanted to meet with them."
Another activity offered to students to not only engage them socially, but academically is Academic Games. Coach Durand Shepherd, the middle school mathematics teacher, led his team to three Academic Games State Championships in 2010, 2011 and 2012, and two Academic Games National Championships in 2011 and 2012 in the categories of Equations and On-Sets.
"Academic Games is a series of games designed to stimulate and test students' knowledge in a variety of subjects," said Shepherd. "Students compete in games that are related to math logic, English, and social studies."
Brewer Academy finished first in the last four seasons of the school's division and has won many championships. During the school year, the students compete once a month on Saturdays, then against other schools until March. Students competed in the state tournament in Grand Rapids last school year, and then in the national tournament in North Carolina in April.
"These teams have had a remarkable season and once again are state champions," says Shepherd.
Game time adds up
Having students participate in academic social clubs is paying off at Brewer.
This year, the school saw a 30% increase in eighth-grade language arts on the MEAP (Michigan Educational Assessment Program) test and a 17% percent increase in eighth-grade math. All middle school scores increased by double digits, and Brewer surpassed the district in gains.
"You have to get the kids to believe," Wilson said. "It took me a while to get the kids to believe that this is your education. Although your parents play a part in it, I'm educating you on a daily basis. So I need you to come and perform. Our kids know that when you walk into the doors of Brewer, you come in to get a premier education. I'm preparing you for Howard and Harvard, and everywhere in between. I can't do that if you're not focused."
Wilson credits her passionate teachers for the academic success of students, using a cross-curriculum method when teaching all lessons and being creative to ensure students are engaged.
Nancy Pryor, who teaches middle school social studies, said she uses current events and wears various costumes. For instance, when teaching students about the Civil War, she wears a hat that resembles the Confederate flag.
"I believe kids need to know what's going on around them. We talk about the politics of the city, state and nation," Pryor said.
"When I come in, they're likely to say something like, 'Ms. Pryor, did you watch the news? Did you know they just destroyed a Mayan pyramid in Belize? And sometimes I don't know. So I'm excited that they're beginning to get excited about the world around them."

117 Cherry St. Seattle, Wa. 98104
(206) 587 - 5737
Open: 10 - 6 Monday - Saturday, 12 - 5 Sunday
Loyalty (Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
I am happy to report there is a new female detective series (at least, I hope it's a series!) starting in the tradition of V.I. Warshawski, Carlotta Carlyle, Sharon McCone, and others. In Ingrid Thoft's debut, Loyalty, we are introduced to Fina Ludlow and her family.
Fina's part of a dysfunctional family of lawyers but she has always been the black sheep of the family. She abandoned law school and her father now has her working in the family's firm as an investigator. When her sister-in-law disappears, she's appointed by the family to find out what's happened. It's quite a ride getting to know Fina's family and following all the twists in the case.
I liked the character and look forward to getting to know Fina better. Ingrid Throft was born in Boston but now lives here in Seattle (she moved out here specifically to go to the University of Washington to get her private eye's certification – according to the back of the advance copy I read). The only thing I wish is that instead of Boston that it had been set here in Seattle. There are too many local authors writing about other places and I would love to see more books set here. We are hoping for a signing when the book is published.— Adele
July 2013 Indie Next List
"Flunking out of law school was probably the best thing that happened to Fina Ludlow. Ludlow and Associates' most interesting work was not being done by their lawyers but by their lead investigator, Frank Gillis. So Fina learns her trade from Frank, taking over his role when he leaves the firm. Private investigation is an ideal fit for Fina: she can keep her own hours, roam the streets, and carry a gun. Discreet and devious, her favorite combination, gets her through a lot of doors, that and her skill with a lock pick. Fina's family loyalty was strong but even family can stretch the rules as well as the law. When her sister-in-law goes missing and her niece locks her bedroom door at night Fina has to decide which side she is on: family loyalty or the truth. Don't miss this debut novel by an author who actually has a degree in private investigation. Thoft has created a female detective who is tough, fair-minded, determined and possessing a biting sense of humor. Hopefully, Loyalty is the beginning of a gripping new series."
— Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books and Hobbies, Oscoda, MI
"Kinsey Millhone, you've got competition. This firecracker of a series starter is a perfect summer read. It introduces Fina Ludlow, the in-house private investigator for her family's ethically shaky lawfirm. What starts as a search for her missing sister-in-law uncovers bombshells and twisted family secrets."
"Entertainment Weekly"
The Ludlows are a hard-charging family, and patriarch Carl Ludlow treats his offspring like employees which they are. But his daughter, Fina, is a bit of a black sheep. A law school dropout, her father keeps her in the fold as the firm's private investigator, working alongside her brothers.
Juggling her family of high-powered (and highly dysfunctional) attorneys, the cops and Boston's criminal element is usually something Fina does without breaking a sweat. But when her sister-in-law disappears, she's caught up in a case unlike any she's encountered before.
Carl wants things resolved without police interference, but the deeper Fina digs, the more impossible that seems. The Ludlows close ranks, and her brother Rand and his unruly teenage daughter Haley grow mysteriously distant from the family. As Fina unearths more dirt, the demands of family loyalty intensify. But Fina is after the truth no matter the cost.
About the Author
Ingrid Thoft was born in Boston and is a graduate of Wellesley College. Her interest in the PI life and her desire to create a believable PI character led her to the certificate program in private investigation at the University of Washington. She lives in Seattle with her husband. "Loyalty" is her first novel."
Praise For…
"Kinsey Millhone, you've got competition. This firecracker of a series starter is a perfect summer read. It introduces Fina Ludlow, the in-house private investigator for her family's ethically shaky law firm. What starts as a search for her missing sister-in-law uncovers bombshells and twisted family secrets. " — Entertainment Weekly
"What starts, in Thoft's dazzling first novel, as a missing-persons case for Boston PI Fina Ludlow—the search for her sister-in-law, Melanie—swells through layers of familial secrets, lies, and betrayals to something approaching Greek tragedy....Readers will be eager to see more of smash-mouth Fina, a hard-boiled throwback equally comfortable shooting from the hip or the lip."
— Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Thoft's promising debut introduces a significantly flawed but tough new PI and offers up compelling suspense, while the smooth prose keeps things moving right along….This mystery wrapped in family drama should please fans of contemporary suspense of the more hard-boiled sort."
— Library Journal
"(Fina) Ludlow has the shrewdness of her parents and siblings but she has compassion, too. Fans of the Kinsey Millhone mysteries will enjoy this engaging debut."
— Booklist
"LOYALTY's Fina Ludlow is my hero. If I were in a bad spot, I'd want her at my back. Don't miss it."
— # 1 New York Times-bestselling author Catherine Coulter
"In her debut novel, Ingrid Thoft gives us Fina Ludlow, the newest private eye to prowl Boston's mean streets. Fina returns the female detective to the heart of the hard-boiled tradition: hard-drinking, hard-loving, moody. Writer Ingrid Thoft has given her a dysfunctional extended family that rivals the Ewings of Dallas fame, which adds a dimension not often seen in the PI novel." — New York Times-bestselling author Sara Paretsky

The State Department says this attack has "all the hallmarks of Al Qaeda," and it certainly looks that way. First, Yemen has long been an Al Qaeda hotbed--in fact, it's the ancestral home of Osama bin Laden. Second, like past Al-Qaeda attacks (9/11, Madrid, 7/7, Amman, etc.), this one was closely coordinated: a car bomb, followed by assaults with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. A group called Islamic Jihad in Yemen is claiming responsibility. It's unlcear thus far whether the group has any affiliation to al-Qaeda. But it seems pretty clear that Al-Qaeda had a hand in today's events in some capacity. Here's more, from CBN News:
Suspected militants armed with automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and at least one suicide car bomb assaulted the U.S. Embassy in the Yemeni capital on Wednesday. The coordinated attack killed 16 people, including six assailaints, officials said.
The U.S. said no Americans were hurt.
Explosions and Heavy Gunfire
Multiple explosions rang out outside the heavily-guarded facility, and gunfire raged for at least 10 minutes at the concrete checkpoints that ring the compound. The dead included six attackers, six Yemeni guards and four civilians, the state news agency SABA reported.
It was the deadliest attack on a compound that has been targeted four times in recent years by bombings, mortars and shootings.
Yemen has a checkered recent history:
In March 2002, a Yemeni man lobbed a sound grenade into the embassy grounds a day after Vice President Dick Cheney made a stop for talks with officials at San'a airport. The attacker was sentenced to 10 years in prison but the sentence was later reduced to seven years.
In 2003, two people were fatally shot and dozens more were injured when police clashed with demonstrators trying to storm the embassy when tens of thousands rallied against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
This year has also seen mortar attacks near the Italian Embassy and a bombing on a compound housing foreigners, neither of which caused casualties.
Washington considers Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh an ally against terrorism, ever since al-Qaeda's 2000 bombing of the USS Cole destroyer in the port of Aden, which killed 17 American sailors. A similar attack on a French oil tanker two years later killed one person.
But the relationship has frequently been rocky, with American officials grumbling over lax Yemeni detention policies for militants.
A group of 23 al-Qaeda militants escaped from a high-security San'a prison in 2006, amid reports of collusion between security officials and the militants. The U.S. security think-tank Stratfor said in a statement Wednesday that Yemen's security and intelligence services are deepy infiltrated by militants.
Saleh has also pursued a program letting some militants go free after promising not to carry out attacks.
Look for Yemen to continue to emerge as both a destination and breeding ground for Al-Qaeda. The country has a real "Wild West," lawless feel in some parts, just like other Al-Qaeda hotspots. Somalia and Pakistan's tribal regions are the two most egregious examples of Al-Qaeda finding shelter and local hospitality in un-governable areas.

Took a photograph of my shoes because my eye saw a lot of lines and the composition was beautiful. I'm a photo junkie so what!
In Security Cop Talk I said, "I got my E-Merica's on, I'm saying GOLD, TRUST, you don't want my foot up your asshole you asshole."
I was talking about the E-Merica skate shoes; for those not understanding E-Merica. Usually I rock that brand when I'm skateboarding (or Lakai at times), otherwise, it's a 85% chance I'll have some Sperrys on.
Yours truly,

Some people are not qualified to vote
Charley Najacht
Published: Thursday, October 18th, 2012
It's getting to the point where some kind of voter qualification test should be administered before allowing just anyone to enter a voting booth with a ballot in their hands. Way back in feudal times, only landowners were allowed to vote.
Then a democratic movement took place and we now have any able or disabled body allowed to vote in elections. That, in itself is a good thing, but it implies some responsibility on the part of the voter to be informed.
It's interesting to note that during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1868. This amendment reaffirmed state and federal citizenship for all persons regardless of race, both born or naturalized in the United States.
The amendment further stated that no person was to be deprived of life, liberty or property without "due process of law" and that no person could be denied "equal protection of the laws."

"It's getting to the point where some kind of voter qualification test should be administered before allowing just anyone to enter a voting booth with a ballot in their hands." "Just Anyone" must have a valid Photo ID per law. What "valid" reason would justify this?
October 25th, 2012 at 07:46am
Voter ID helps prevent voter fraud. We present ID at numerous places to prove who we are, why not at the voting booth? Do we want illegals, dead people, people from the adjacent counties or states voting in our local elections? I see no reason not to provide ID, we do it else where for far less serious reasons.
November 4th, 2012 at 03:12am
Has there been any evidence of voter fraud in South Dakota? Uhh.... NO. Should we go back to the days of using literacy tests made up by the racist ruling class to determine if someone should be allowed to vote? Considering that many black people were given tests written in Chinese to suppress their rights and votes, I guess that's not such a great idea, either. Any law promoted with no basis that makes it more difficult for seniors, poor people, or any other social class to vote their conscience is morally wrong in our already morally corrupt democracy, where two wolves and a sheep vote on "What's for dinner?".

The Spoils of War
North and South Brought Three Couples Together—and United They Stand
So good, apparently, that the TV saga (which spawned a 1986 sequel and concludes next week with the three-night, six-hour John Jakes' Heaven and Hell: North and South, Part III, premiering Feb. 27 on ABC) not only became the crucible for Frakes and Francis's offscreen ardor but it also enabled then-assistant cameraman (and now director of photography) Don Fauntleroy to zoom in on his future male, actress Lesley-Anne Down (who plays invincible Madeline Main). And it swept James Read (Stanley Hazard's Union general brother George) and Wendy Kilbourne (George's wife, Constance) into each other's arms—literally. Says Down, who like the other actors has been onboard for all three installments: "It was a very romantic set for a lot of people."
Back in '85, Read first locked eyes with Kilbourne at a dance-scene rehearsal. After that, he and Kilbourne, now 29, "did a mating dance of our own for about a month," says Read, 40. "She gave me a gaze that said, 'I'm here and you're not leaving.' " He didn't. The couple moved in together in 1987 and married the following year.
That come-hither stare also worked for Francis, 31, who had first met Frakes, 41, when both costarred on the short-lived NBC series Bare Essence in 1983. There, she says, "he treated me like one of the guys—which I loved." But on the North and South set, she developed "a big crush" on him, she says, and flirted, southern belle-style, with "meaningful looks, giggling and fanning." She was blushing, however, the night Frakes and Read took her and Kilbourne to a Bourbon Street strip joint to celebrate Genie's 23rd birthday. "It was so embarrassing, I was dying,' " she says. "But it was funny." Just a few weeks later, though, when Frakes proposed a weekend getaway, she balked. "I was scared," says Francis, whose lack of an offscreen love life during her original stint as teenage Laura on General Hospital (to which she returned, nine years later, last fall) "made me a little more innocent than a lot of women at 23." She suggested she and Frakes have a low-key, old-fashioned date. "We went to a McDonald's and sat in a church parking lot and talked," recalls Francis. "Our wild lives!" quips Frakes, who moved in with her a year after North and South wrapped and popped the question—on his knees—in 1987.
The courtship of Down and Fauntleroy blazed a bit more intensely. Their first day on the set, he says, "we were very chatty, and it just grew from there." Three months later, says Down, 39, "we had a sexual encounter." ("A rampant affair!" exclaims Fauntleroy, 40.) The couple still mark their May Day tryst—not their wedding the following year—as their anniversary.
There was a reason they waited so long to lie the knot. Both were married at the time—Down unhappily, she says, to director William Friedkin; Fauntleroy to Susan Ducat, a housewife. After Down divulged her affair, Friedkin filed for divorce and demanded full custody of their son, Jack, then 2. She and Fauntleroy suspended their careers to devote the next two years to the legal battle. "Having to fight for your child is worse than having to fight for your own life," says Down, who (after finally reaching an amicable settlement in 1987) shares custody of Jack evenly with Friedkin. (Fauntleroy's daughters from his first marriage, Season, 14, and Juliana, 12, spend weekends at the three-bedroom cottage that he and Down rent in Malibu.) Their wrenching experience with Jack "proved our mettle," says Down, "as partners and as parents."
Read and Kilbourne recently faced an even more harrowing ordeal: the loss of their unborn child in the final month of Wendy's pregnancy last month. "We're devastated, but we're making a slow and steady recovery," says Read, who shares a four-bedroom house in the San Fernando Valley with Kilbourne and their son Jackson, 3.
"I can't imagine a cruder thing to endure," says Francis. She and Frakes are themselves expecting a child—their first—in August. "Jonathan's going to be a great dad," Francis predicts. "One night I found him going through all these books to see what I should be eating."
Meanwhile, the three North and South couples still keep in touch. Read considers Frakes a close friend, and the two like practical jokes. After Frakes (now in his final season as Cmdr. William Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation) remarked how much he was looking forward to working outside of Trek, he arrived in his trailer on Heaven and Hell's Old West set to discover a Trek uniform in his closet. "It came with a pair of cowboy boots and a hat," says culprit Read.
But mostly the couples prefer their own company. "If Donny's doing a job, I'll always ask if there's a part for me," says Down, who look a lead role in Munchy Strikes Back for the Disney Channel because Fauntleroy was the director of photography. "There's nothing like lighting a beautiful woman through a camera," says Fauntleroy, "and when it's someone you love, it's magic."
Still, their favorite collaboration remains North and South. "It's been a momentous journey," says Down. Francis puts it more emphatically. "It was without a doubt," she says, "the best time of my life."

Oliver Mulamba collected the ball off a rebound and scored the winning goal in the 41st minute as West Texas A&M defeated No. 7 Midwestern State, 1-0, Sunday at the MSU Soccer Field in Wichita Falls.
The victory gives the Buffs a share of the Southwest Soccer Conference championship as the teams each finished 7-1 in conference play.
The teams split two matches this season as Midwestern State won 3-1 at Canyon on Sept. 21.
The victory improved WT's record to 16-2, while the Mustangs fell to 16-3.
The teams will await selection for the Midwest Region tournament.
Midwestern State, No. 1 in the region entering the weekend, lost as did No. 2 Metro State of Denver. The Roadrunners were defeated by Colorado Mines in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament Friday.
Regional tournament selections are scheduled to be announced at 2 p.m. today.
Midwestern State controlled possession throughout the match and outshot the Buffs 16-6. The Buffs, however, were able to put five of their shots on goal, including two in a volley off a corner kick in the 41st minute.
WT's Jacob Fynboe Jensen headed a shot off a corner that rebounded off Midwestern goalkeeper Jeremy Turner. Mulamba gathered the rebound and put it in the net for the winning goal.

TUALATIN -- A dog who found a new chew toy this morning received a rude surprise: pepper spray.
The dog, who punctured a can of Mace, forced a Tualatin family to evacuate their home.
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue received a 9-1-1 call at 8:47 am from a woman reporting that she, her son, and the boy's grandmother were suffering from tearing eyes and scratchy throat, said Karen Eubanks, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue spokeswoman. The woman also reported the family's basement was filled with haze.
The family evacuated the home in the 8700 block of Southwest Yakima Court. Members from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue's HazMat team arrived and determined the three individuals did not require medical treatment, as their symptoms diminished after leaving the home, Eubanks said.
Firefighters found a small, personal-sized can of Mace in the basement that had been punctured. The family then told firefighters that one of their four dogs had been acting strangely just prior to the incident, and firefighters determined the dog punctured the can, releasing the pepper spray, Eubanks said. The dog required no medical treatment and was acting as well as the family's other three dogs after getting some fresh air, Eubanks said.
The active ingredient in pepper spray is Oleoresin Capsicum, a derivative of cayenne pepper, Eubanks said. It irritates the eyes, skin and lungs when sprayed and can make breathing difficult.
Eubanks said the punctured canister was about the size of a dog bone.
"Mace cans need to be kept up out of the reach of children and dogs," Eubanks said.

Indiana Tour: Summer Fun for the Kids + Ways to Save
Wednesday, May 18, 2011
The summer is upon us…well, technically it's still spring, but preschool is about to let out and I have 3 months of empty days to fill with fun activities for my family. What I love about summer is that there is so much to do…and plenty of opportunities to do it affordably. Of course we'll spend lots of time hanging out at home and playing at the many parks nearby, but here are a few things that are also on my summer agenda, along with tips for saving. Leave a comment if you have additional suggestions. For some more ideas, follow Bargain Briana's Staycation Fun in Indianapolis and In Good Cents' Summer Fun in Indiana series.
• Story Time is a great opportunity to break up the week, keep reading skills fresh and get out of the heat. Usually there's a story, some songs and maybe a craft. You can check out Borders, Barnes and Noble or your local library for variety of options for story time. Many local libraries also offer a summer reading program with prizes.
• The Track – What better way to kick off summer than with a trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We missed practice this year due to a wicked cold that landed upon our house, but we still plan on attending community day on Wednesday, May 25. Click here to learn more about it.
• Connor Prairie – I've never been to Connor Prairie, so I'll be experiencing it for the first time along with my boys. I am most interested in seeing the Lenape Indian Camp and the William Conner Homestead, but I have a feeling the kids will probably enjoy the Animal Encounters Barn most. But, I have no doubt everyone will enjoy 1859 Balloon Voyage. (I instantly get visions of clicking my heels together!) Admission is $14 for adults and $9 for children 2-12. Balloon rides are $15 a person and do not include general admission.
To save – check your Entertainment Book for BOGO admission coupons. Or head online to Visit Indy for a $2 off admission coupon. You can also pick up a $5 discount Balloon Voyage coupon from Ricker's BP stores. (See the list of participating stores HERE.) You can redeem your coupon on the day of your visit. Each coupon is good for up to six guests. There are also special group rates and customized balloon packages available. Finally, don't forget to pack some snacks, drinks and/or a lunch to save even more. Also, make sure to check back here because I'll be giving away admission passes and balloon ride tickets.
• The Indianapolis Children's Museum is probably one of my favorite destinations in Indianapolis. It's nationally recognized for its size and variety of activities for children of all ages…and with 472,900-square feet on five floors and more than 100,000 artifacts, there really is so much to do and see while you're there. There's also a new exhibit scheduled to open this summer. The National Geographic Treasures of the Earth opens June 11 and in the spirit of exploration, they'll be hosting a museum-wide, mobile, family scavenger hunt with the chance to win a family trip to Washington, D.C. Click here to learn more about the contest and to enter. Adult admission is $16.50 and children over 2-17 are $11.50.
To Save – There are a variety of ways to save at the Children's Museum. Through the end of May you can get coupons for a child's admission or membership from the Museum's website. They also offer group rates, discounts for AAA members and periodically issue coupons in Reach Magazine. But, if you ask me, a membership is the way to go. It's especially nice if you have young children because you don't feel like you have to stay all day to get your money's worth. You can go all year long, stay as long as you like and get free rides on the carousel. Parking is free and you can bring your own snacks, lunch and drinks to save even more. Also, make sure to check back here because I'll be giving away admission passes.
• Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo – I have heard nothing but good things about the Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo. Here's what their promo piece says: "Consistently rated one of the 'Top Ten Zoos in the Nation,' the Children's Zoo features opportunities to feed giraffes, get nose-to-nose with lions, stroll through a mob of kangaroos and so much more. In addition, you'll enjoy a ride in every corner of the zoo, from the Treetop Safari sky ride, to an Australian Log Ride." Adult admission is $13, children are $8.50 and two and under are free.
To Save – While there aren't a whole lot of options for scoring discounted tickets, you can get a FREE child's admission with the purchase of an adult admission when you bring a specially marked Diet Pepsi can. More than 1 million cans distributed throughout Indiana and the deal runs through Oct. 9, 2011. And, of course, if you plan on visiting more than once, a membership is the way to go. Also, make sure to check back here because I'll be giving away admission passes.
• Day Out With Thomas – I really have no idea what to expect from this adventure other than the fact that we'll get to ride a train…which will be enough for my 3-year-old. From what I understand, there are lots of kid-friendly activities leading up to the actual ride and the kids get to have their pictures taken with Sir Topham Hatt and of course Thomas the Tank. The event takes place in Connersville June 17-19 & 24-26 and tickets are available online for $18. Group tickets are available for $14.
• Train Rides at the Indiana Transportation Museum – If the trip to Connersville is a little much for you, the Indiana Transportation Museum in Noblesville's Forest Park might be a good choice for the train lover in your family. I've never been, but it's on my agenda for the summer. Here's what their website says: "The Indiana Transportation Museum is an operating museum that gives visitors the chance to see how trains operate and to ride trains similar to those that most Americans used to travel long distances before interstate highways and jet planes." Museum admission is $3 for adults and $2 for children 2-12. Train fare varies according to the trip. Click here to see a schedule.
• Tours – For those who might be interested in organizing a group event, there are lots of places that offer tours. A few that come to mind include Kelsey Farms ($75 for no more than 15 kids), the fire/police station, airport and local restaurants. The Kelsey Farms tour is great. The kids get to see the cows being milked, get to feed and pet a calf, do a short craft and enjoy an ice cream sundae at the end.
• Bowling – Kids can bowl 2 free games a day at participating bowling centers all summer long. Registration will open by Tuesday, March 23. Once you register, you will also have the opportunity to purchase a family pass for just $24.95, which will allow for adult family members to enjoy bowling throughout the summer as well.
• Dairy Farm – We really enjoy visiting Trader's Point Creamery in Zionsville. They have a variety of tour options, but we enjoy just walking the grounds, visiting the farm and seeing the cows in the pastures. They milk the cows every day at 4:00 and have a restaurant where you can enjoy fresh ice cream or a tasty meal. You can also arrange for a private, guided tour for 12 or more people. The cost for this is $6 a person.
• Bounce Houses – The Bounce Spot is what was formerly known as Bouncer Town. Now under new ownership, I'm told it's much cleaner and offers a higher feeling of safety. As a cool bonus, their exit is staffed and monitored with their safe check in/check out policy…so, no child will be permitted to exit without the adult they entered with. That's pretty cool piece of mind.
To save – Group rates are available for parties of 10 kids or more and you can visit their website for savings such as coupons for $5 weekday admission. Also make sure to like them on facebook for updates, and finally, check Coupons4Indy for even more coupons.
• Incredible Pizza Company – This has become one of my favorite rainy day activities. When you're dealing with preschoolers, it can be incredibly affordable. Kids 3 and under eat for free and most of the games are only 30 cents to play. Half the time you don't even need to actually start the game. My son just likes to pretend and often runs off to the next game before the time is up any way. There are also a handful of kiddy rides for the kids to take advantage of. Parents can partake in the all-you-can-eat buffet for $8, but you can skip the meal all together to save even more.
To save – The Entertainment book has a couple great coupons, but you can also head online to their site for specials and coupons, or sign up for email alerts to stay in the know. I got a coupon good for a FREE $10 game card with the purchase of an adult buffet just for signing up for the emails.
• Open Gym – We attend Wright's Funtimes at least once a week, sometimes twice. It's a great opportunity to let the kids run wild while we parents sit back and catch up with each other. It's relaxing for us and allows the kids time to burn energy with the sports equipment, trampoline, ball pit, zip line and more. The cost is $5 for members and $10 for non members. A yearly family membership costs $30. Other options for open gym include the Greenwood Community Center, which is open MWF mornings for around $2; and The Gathering Place, which offers open gym during the school year, but not the summer.
• The Zoo – Next to the Children's Museum, our membership to the Indianapolis Zoo is one of the best investments for our family. I particularly like having a membership so that we can go several times throughout the year and plan to stay for only a couple hours. The best part of going to the zoo all year long is that we get to see all the beautiful gardens transform with the seasons. Plus different animals like to come out during different seasons. In-Season adult admission is $15.25; children over a year are $10.25 and parking is $6.
To Save – A zoo membership is the best option for saving. Not only does it pay for itself after just a few visits, but it also affords you free parking. Another great way to save is buy packing your own snack, drink and lunch. The Indianapolis Zoo also offers a 20% discount to all members of the military, active, retired or veterans, up to four tickets per visit year-round. Finally, AAA members and members other AZA accredited zoos can receive a 10% discount good for up to four tickets per visit.
One Response to "Indiana Tour: Summer Fun for the Kids + Ways to Save"
Just a note about The Bounce Spot. I just found out they started a free community bounce night on Thursdays from 4-7.

Oklahoma City police have arrested a 51-year-old man after a group of children and an adult told officers they saw him urinating off his balcony and touching himself.
David Romines, 51, was arrested on eight counts of lewd acts with a child, according to police.
Witnesses told police they saw him about 8:45 p.m. Saturday on his balcony in the 500 block of North Council Road with his pants lowered.
Witnesses said Romines asked a 9-year-old girl to "come upstairs and be friends." The child told police that Romines said, "You don't have to be scared. It's alright; I'm safe."
According to a police report, there were six people present, including a 30-year-old woman and five girls between the ages of 9 and 13.

Great set of shorts for the price. Will now become a part of a set with a Jersey of similar color.
Good purchase for the money.

I have used Canari shorts for years and always enjoy wearing them. My only negatives are that the shorts do not come with a string for the waist. Also do not put these in a clothes dryer or emblem will wear off.

A great "value" buy.

Comfort fit and great looking color.
I like them kinda..
By ptb
from MI
I am neither a fussy guy nor a bike short, spandex type. However, I needed to add some comfort to my rides after using a couple "liner" shorts under my cargo shorts I decided to try these Canari shorts. I first used them as "liner" shorts under my cargo shorts - they work perfectly. One day I stepped out of my home and onto my bike without my cover-ups, the cargo shorts. The padding works well. However, the padded portion of the shorts seem to "stick" to the seat and the rest of the short fabric seems to slip down or for lack of a better word "swim" at the hips. When trying to readjust the short the padding at the back snags or otherwise catches onto the nose of my seat.I bought the medium I am 5'8", 165 lbs., 34" waist I think maybe the sizing runs large. Like the padding thickness, do not like the swim effect of the fabric but that said I liked the price and probably would buy them again and use with or without the cargo shorts.
Very Nice Pair
By Mel
from Bellmore, NY
Like most, I like these shorts more after I factor in the low, low price. Like my other Canari shorts, the waist runs true to size but the legs run slightly loose. Compared to my Canari Velo Gel shorts, these feel slightly thinner, they lack a drawstring and they droop a little in the rear. Yet, when I factor the purchase price I give them 4 out of 5 stars. Furthermore, I desperately wanted blue shorts and these were all I could find. Nonetheless, they have extremely effective padding, they wick sweat away efficiently, and don't chafe. So, though I was cornered, so to speak, I am happy with them.

A 35-year-old woman was killed Saturday morning in a motorcycle crash on Hefner Parkway in Oklahoma City.
The crash happened at 11:45 a.m. near NW 50th Street where the male driver of a motorcycle and the woman were thrown from the bike, police said. The man and woman were headed to a poker run that fundraiser for breast cancer research when the driver lost control and slammed into a cable barrier.
The woman was pronounced dead at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center, police said.
Police did not know the relationship between the man and the woman and did not release their names.

Is the MTA Responsible For Our Littering? (No.)
Man, do New Yorkers love to blame the MTA for everything.
Recently, the Brooklyn Paper reported that, in an effort to keep Master Splinter and his rat friends at bay, the MTA removed trash cans from the 7th ave. and 9th Street F/G subway station. Following this Great Trash Can Exodus, straphangers are now reportedly hanging on to their trash as they exit the subway station, at which time they proceed to toss that shit on the sidewalk or street.
And who's at the center of blame for this? The MTA.
Via the BK Paper:
That frustrates residents and business owners who say the MTA's "pilot program" — which operates under the principle that less trash cans leads to tidier places — is about as logical as chopping down trees to make Prospect Park greener.
Other business operators say straphangers who weren't big litterbugs before have started stashing trash in weird places, causing a sometimes-funky smell and giving the street a less-than-appetizing appearance.
Hear that? The MTA has made non-litterbugs transform into totally careless slobs.
Now, as a typical New Yorker, I also hate the MTA with 99% of my life force, but blaming them for this shit is just ridiculous. Yes, perhaps it's a teensy bit inconvenient to have to hold onto your eco-bio safe homemade coffee cup an extra ten extra seconds until reaching the trash can that's right outside the subway station, but that's no reason to just say "eff it," and throw your shit on the sidewalk in front of Dizzy's Diner.
I'd rather not have super-rats growing in our local station, thank you very much. I mean, earlier this month some little girl in Colorado almost died of bubonic plague, which she contracted from a rural squirrel. If a suburban rodent has bubonic plague, imagine what these little Slope-side fuckers have. Look, I know life in Park Slope is super hard, but let's put on our big girl panties (or manties) and deal with it in the name of being black death-free, ok?!

Blog category: Seasonals
It is now the beginning of March, Christmas and the New Year break are distant memories and the shops are full of Easter eggs and hot cross buns.
There are clear signs that spring is near, snow drops are blooming, daffodils aren't far behind (although the mild December confused some enough to bloom back then), we have had the first drought warnings of the year with the threat of a hose pipe ban and Early Bird is now brewed and available in our pubs.
Our spring seasonal really signifies the end of the cold winter months (no more dark beers round the fireplace) being a lighter refreshing beer with oodles of East Kent Goldings giving it hints of blossom and freshly cut grass (one of the downsides of spring).
Of course if you cannot find it in the pub it is also available in bottle to enjoy as you celebrate the lengthening of the days and the promise of a long hot summer.

If I could figure out a way to collect on this bet, I'd wager that the souls of the dispatched piglets hang around and wait for the joviality and high spirits that accompany the funeral rites of their reunited brothers and sisters.
BTW, remind me to never let anybody see me drink milk in Avoyelles Parish.

The Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive
Find out how your class can help children in need by collecting pajamas!
The annual Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive was a huge success this year, with more than 80,000 pairs of pajamas donated by teachers like you and your wonderful students!
The kindergarten classes of Andrea Maurer, Leslie Bowling, and Rachel Fessler in Brea, Calif. (shown here), collected 67 pairs of pajamas this year for children in need.
For every pair of pajamas donated, Scholastic also gives the Pajama Program a matching donation of one book.
Pajama Program is a nonprofit organization that provides new books and new pajamas to children in need, many of whom are waiting and hoping to be adopted.
Since 2009, Scholastic Reading Club classrooms have collected and donated nearly 250,000 pairs of pajamas to Pajama Program through the Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive.
Learn more about the program and how your class can participate next year.

|Semester 2 Credit Value:
|ECTS Credits:
In the developing world there is a lack of good teachers for most subject areas. The main reasons for this include:
? In certain areas (IT and biotechnology for example) graduates wish to work in industry rather than teach;
? In developing countries it is often the case that it is more desirable to live in urban as opposed to rural areas. This therefore leads to a lack of (good) teachers in rural/remote areas, particularly at the primary level;
? The remuneration paid to teachers is often less than paid in other professions;
If reliable, efficient and uniform education standards are to be achieved in the developing world then alternative pedagogies that rely on technology and automation could be the answer. Technology is available and being used by young people, such as the Internet and other media in order for young people to gain knowledge. The aim of this course is to introduce educational technology to students in order for them to investigate how it could benefit teaching and learning. The main aims are to:
? Predict our understanding of pedagogy and learning in the future
? Predict the direction that technology may take in the future.
Original Summary:
This module takes the student on a journey of discovery where they learn the predictions and thinking of some of the worlds leading authorities on the future of education, science, learning and life.
This module is based on essays by the world's leading scientists on their predictions for the future. From cosmology to genetics, from psychology to education, from happiness to sadness, we look at the next 50 years for all of us.
The lectures and seminars provide a theoretical and contextual framework for the whole module. The students then are motivated to go and devise different pedagogy through project and lab work using available technology.
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
|When Set
|Aural Examination
The project reports and the ability of the students to present their findings will allow the ability of the student to be assessed, both in terms of being able to present their ideas and findings in a well defined process as well as to be able to present their ideas on paper. This will assist their presentation skills which will be valuable in the International technology markets. It will make students think more clearly and demonstrate their understanding of the use of educational technology.

a girl with abnormally large tits, generally a friendly term said jokingly. She doesn't show them off though, and is very modest. Titzilla's a pretty good friend to have around. She's kind of a spaz though. But you like her anyways.

The Big Bad Banks: The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves
First, we see our government low-balling the expected returns for the Tarp investments in banks so that an additional tax on banks can be justified—including banks that never receive the investments and excluding nonbanks that did. Now proprietary trading is verboten even though there is no evidence that it had anything to do with the crisis. The same goes for hedge fund and private equity. Have we totally forgotten about the making and securitization of subprime mortgage loans? I would say the war on banks is getting curiouser and curiouser, but I've already used that line to describe this new wonderland.
Every politician wants to be perceived as a populist these days. They want to be perceived as anti-establishment, and I guess nothing is more identified with the establishment than the Federal Reserve. So, throwing Ben Bernanke—the guy who, along with Henry Paulson and Tim Geithner, saved the country from a second great depression—under the bus will be perceived to be good politics. I guess Geithner will be next. Taking irresponsible actions to atone for responsible actions is apparently the new norm for our leaders. Have they no shame?
Once upon a time, mainstream leaders tolerated populists nipping at their heals and pretty much ignored their irrational policy prescriptions. Of course, there was a time when populists had a policy prescription, such as a silver standard rather than a gold standard. I don't see one now, other than to be against everything the government and the Fed try to do to stop the panic and restore health to the economy. "Just say no" makes a better slogan for teenage temptations than for economic policy. Thinking people would examine the issues and make distinctions between remedies that are reasonable and those that make no sense. Of course, thinking is suspect these days, a sign of softness.
Maybe bank bashing is the best way to encourage bank lending to support economic growth. Maybe tax increases are the best way to stimulate the economy. Maybe punishing Gentle Ben Bernanke for his good work will produce some good that I can't conceive of. Maybe having government accountants second guessing monetary policy will improve policy. Maybe politicians following the mob will be taken for leadership. Maybe.

Erie Admirals lose in NPSL's national semifinals
RICHMOND, Va. -- Erie Admirals S.C.'s improbable run through the National Premier Soccer League playoffs ended Saturday night.
After winning their first three postseason matches on the road against higher-seeded teams to earn a spot in the NPSL's final four, the Admirals succumbed to No. 1 RVA Football Club's four-goal outburst in the second half of a 4-0 national semifinal loss at Sports Backers Stadium.
"They were a very, very good side," Admirals owner/head coach John Melody said of RVA. "They're one of the best teams I've ever seen in the NPSL."
The fourth-seeded Admirals (9-4-3), who had a six-match winning streak and eight-match unbeaten streak snapped in the season-ending defeat, fell two wins short of capturing the 5-year-old club's first national championship in their third final four appearance.
The Admirals fell to 1-2 all-time in the semifinals, as they also lost 4-2 to Jacksonville United FC in 2011 after beating Rocket City United 4-2 in 2009.
Erie earned a chance to face RVA with wins against FC Buffalo and Detroit City FC, then the No. 1-ranked club in the nation, in the Midwest-Great Lakes Conference playoffs in Detroit two weeks ago.
The Admirals, who were the lowest-seeded team in every round, followed that with a 1-0 win against the Quad City Eagles in the Midwest Region final in Bettendorf, Iowa, last weekend.
After an evenly matched start against RVA, the Admirals spent the final 25 minutes of the first half in the defensive end. RVA, which reached the three-goal mark for the seventh time in 10 matches this season, consistently pressured the Admirals with quality scoring chances, including a shot off the post in the 38th minute.
The Admirals, led by veteran goalkeeper and Mercyhurst University alumnus Danny Mudd, withstood the offensive barrage to keep the match in a scoreless tie heading into halftime despite having defender Samuel Oki in the starting lineup. He was injured in practice Friday and was unable to play.
"We had to shuffle the whole pack, which is tough at this point of the season," said Melody, whose club was outshot 10-2 in the opening 45 minutes.
Erie also started the second half with promise, as former Mercyhurst standout Billy Colton's header slipped by the post. But on the ensuing rush upfield, RVA finally snapped the scoreless tie with Kharlton Belmar's goal in the 50th minute.
"We had two decent chances before they scored," Melody said.
RVA (9-0-2) took a 2-0 lead on Josh Grant's goal in the 57th minute. Then RVA sealed the victory and a spot in the title match on Belmar's second goal of the evening, scored off a corner kick in the 72nd minute, and Gene Daniels' score in the closing moments. RVA will host either the 2009 champion Sonoma County Sol or defending champion FC Lehigh Valley United Sonic next Saturday at a time to be determined.
The second-seeded Sol and third-seeded Sonic faced off in the second semifinal late Saturday night in Rohnert Park, Calif.

But also taking a hit in that report--a group of self-proclaimed crime fighters, led by "Phoenix Jones."
Several weeks ago, the play-by-play of much of what went wrong during last year's "May Day" protests was released.
It was researched and written by a former deputy police chief from the Los Angeles Police Department.
There's plenty of fingerpointing--but it's "finding number 28" that had an outraged Phoenix Jones nearly flying out of his superhero suit.
"It actually didn't really say anything is the worse part...it just points fingers without really making any claims," Jones said.
Phoenix Jones and one of his crimefighting partners, 'Rachet,' stopped by the KOMO Newsroom--to talk about their outrage.
The 'May Day' report claims that the 'Rain City Superhero Movement' was allowed to be a part of the melee at the Federal Building on Fifth Avenue back on May 1st, and that their participation resulted in "allegations of assaults and crimes."
Jones said he's flabbergasted by a lack of specifics.
"You just did a whole year's report to figure out what really happened and in your official report, you're gonna go with someone said? It's kinda absurd," Jones said.
Jones said during the height of the protests, police officers were standing down, and that's when he and his fellow self-appointed crime fighters "stepped up."
He said police were simply not doing anything during the chaos.
"There's what's right, and there's what's wrong. We stand for what's right. They can write whatever they want on pieces of paper, and if they have real proof they've back it up. If I broke the law, point out where it is and arrest me for it. If not, don't write words like allegations and say I cause crime that I don't cause. It's ridiculous," he said.
The independent review of the violence that rocked Seattle's business district found that Seattle police officers were confused over who was in charge -- and when they could actually use force to stop the crimes they were seeing.
A recommendation in the report says that police should work with the city attorney's office to piece together legal strategies to stop the superheroes from "creating crime and interfering with law enforcement."
In October 2011, Jones, whose given name is Ben Fodor, was investigated for four counts of assault after he allegedly pepper-sprayed a group of people near First Avenue and Columbia Street.
Fodor told investigators he had used the pepper spray in an attempt to break up a fight that broke out nearby.
A few weeks later, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes cited problems with proof in the case and did not believe a jury would find without a reasonable doubt that Fodor intentionally spray-peppered the entire group at the scene.
Despite that decision, Holmes called Jones, "a deeply misguided individual," who has been warned that his actions put himself in danger," and "demonstrates that innocent bystanders can also be harmed."
Jones said he and his fellow caped crusaders are still on patrol, and will be again next Wednesday, May 1st, if any new problems erupt during protests.

GRAND BLANC, MI -- Last week, Grand Blanc City School 4th- and 5th-grade students wrote letters about why people should vote.
Students in Vickie Weiss' class read that nearly 90 million Americans would not vote on Nov. 6, and Weiss says, "My students were astounded by that."
In an email to The Flint Journal describing the letters in the students' composition books, Weiss wrote, "I think it would be powerful for an adult to read how a 10-year-old thinks voting is so important!"
So for Election Day, we're sharing abridged excerpts from each of those student compositions. You may notice a few grammatical missteps and spelling nuances, but the message seems to be clear -- Get out and vote.
Here are those excerpts, followed by the author's name:
Everyone should vote...I hope you agree and vote so that we won't end up with a dummy for president.--Micah
Another reason is that America is a free country. You can vote. People in Iraq or Iran can't. Thier ruler tells them so and so, and what he says, goes. They can't do a thing about it.--Gracie
My question to you is, why don't you vote? Is it because of where you live, you can't show ID at the poll, you can't get to a poll because you don't have a transport, or is it that your just lazy?...I'm sorry for what I have said in this letter, but I think eligible voters should vote. --Baine
Another reason you should vote is that it shows your loyalness to this country and your patrisim to this country.--Ryan
You may think your canidate that is running will win without you, but the election needs your vote. The election is calling, answer the call.--Hannah
I urge you to go out and vote because it is your civil rights. You should not take it for granted because not so long ago many Americans like African-American, and women were not allowed to vote. Also, to vote is to show your patriotic duty to your country.--Dylan
There are more than Obama and Romney you know. So learn about others you might like, THINK!--Molly
You should vote for a few reasons. One reason is if you don't vote, you can't complain if your favorite candidate lost. You had the opportunity to vote for him/her but you didn't.--Andrew
People need to vote. Every vote counts! The people who don't vote should have a good exscuse for not voting....Our country needs to take pride in what is going on...--Elizabeth
It is your responsibility because your an American citizen. Also, many people don't get to vote in other countries. You should take this opportunity while it lasts.--Kendall
It is very important for everyone to state there opinion. If I was old enough to vote I very much would want to. I want my thought to be consiterd. Also you can't complain about the new presadind, expecily if you did not vote.--Jenna
First of all, if you are voting then hip, hip, horay for you! You are making the right choice because your ballot might help us get a good president to lead our country...So, for all those people who weren't planning on voting, go vote on November 6th for the candidat you like and be proud wearing an "I voted" sticker.--Nikita
I don't understand why you don't want to vote anymore. Did something happen to you? Did someone do something to you?...In conclusion, why don't you want to vote? If there's a problem, can you fix it? What's the problem?--Alex
If you live in the U.S.A. should vote for who should run it. Also it's your responsitaility to vote as an Amarica citizan. Also many people do not have the change to vote. So if you can you should vote.--Isabella
Well, number one, when you vote it sets an example to your kids or family to vote. Number two, when you vote you are showing great patritizom.--Stasia
If you don't vote you will have no say in who should run the country. Also you would be both abusing and taking your rights for granted.--Eryn
You must go to the polls and vote. I don't care if your child has a soccer game or something...DO NOT stay home! Come and vote at the polls before it closes....PLEASE VOTE!--Nita
