I planned to apply for unit 73 this year but I was not able to get over to do any looking around this fall. I was there in 2010 and saw a lot of good quality animals. I have heard/read a lot of negative reports after this past season, no animals, small bucks etc. Can any of you shed any light on these rumors?
Thanks !

Online sales growth is but one indicator that the retail landscape is tilting dramatically in favor of e-commerce.
As retailers assess the just-completed 2010 holiday shopping season, one thing is clear: without the web, many merchants would be crying in their eggnog. Overall retail sales in the make-or-break fourth quarter were up a welcome 3%, but online sales increased 13.5%, and mobile commerce more than doubled.
Online sales growth is but one indicator that the retail landscape is tilting dramatically in favor of e-commerce. E-commerce stocks were up 35% last year, well ahead of the market. Acquisition activity was intense, and venture capital companies are trolling e-commerce waters in search of deals. Giants of the Internet industry are spending heavily on new e-commerce initiatives. When Google last month wanted to withdraw $6 billion from its overstuffed treasury to purchase two-year-old Groupon, and Groupon rejected the offer hoping to do even better down the road, everyone knew that the Internet investment frenzy we witnessed in the late 1990s had returned. The difference this time is that those making investments in e-commerce are pursuing real profit growth and witnessing amazing advances in e-commerce technology.
It is in this supercharged e-commerce market that we proudly announce our seventh annual 2011 Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition at the San Diego Convention Center June 14-17. IRCE is the world's largest e-commerce event by far. Attendance at last year's show grew 33% to a record 6,437 attendees, and for IRCE 2011 we are looking to grow that number to more than 7,000.
All the elements are in place to achieve that goal. Our just-announced four-day conference agenda includes five concurrent day-long workshops (E-Commerce Technology, Search Marketing, Finance, Social Marketing and Mobile Technology) and a total of 175 expert speakers in 91 separate conference sessions covering every aspect of the competitive e-commerce market. All are bundled under an overarching IRCE 2011 theme: E-Commerce Shifts Into Overdrive, the Race Is On. All speakers will address this theme by instructing e-retailers on what it will take for them to prosper in today's fast-growing but also hyper-competitive market.
As always, IRCE 2011 speakers have been hand-picked by our 13 full-time editors based on their expertise on their assigned e-commerce topic. We reject an approach taken by some conference organizers to choose speakers from companies which pay for major sponsorships at the show. Nor are we encumbered by the requirements of association shows to select speakers primarily from their membership ranks. What attendees see and hear at IRCE are speakers that represent a market-wide mix of e-commerce experiences and strategies. Like the attendees they address, IRCE speakers are drawn from every sector of the e-commerce market. In short, our agenda has but one agenda: to equip e-retailers with the comprehensive and objective information they need to succeed in the coming year.
The Exhibit Hall at IRCE 2011 will also provide a showcase for the vast majority of e-commerce solution providers to display their latest technologies and services. With 475 exhibiting companies displaying their wares in a 218,000-square-foot Exhibit Hall, IRCE 2011 will again house the largest display of e-commerce technology on the planet. More than ever before, success in e-commerce is dependent on the solution providers you choose to enhance your web business. Given the online sales results in 2010, you can bet that 2011 will be a year in which all major players in the e-commerce arena make significant investments in tools to upgrade their e-commerce platforms. IRCE 2011 is the very best place to look for those tools.

Update, 2:45 p.m. Sept. 27: Roos Orthodontics has posted a message on its website thanking the community for its support:
The whole Roos Team is devastated by the loss of the Roos' eldest son Jackson, this week. We appreciate all the calls and emails of love and condolence that have poured in.
We will update this page with further details as and when they become available. The practice will be closed on Monday, Oct. 1 and Tuesday, Oct. 2. Jackson's funeral will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 2, details to follow.
We will also be keeping current patients updated with practice hours and information by email going forward.
Original post: A Facebook memorial page has been set up to honor Jackson Roos, the 12-year-old boy who died in a tragic zip lining accident outside his Redmond home on Wednesday.
On the page, which had more than 800 fans as of Thursday morning, Jackson is remembered as a "happy, active, loving boy" with a "tender-hearted attitude."
Jackson was the son of Julie and Bryan Roos, an orthodontist who owns Roos Orthodontics in downtown Redmond. He was in the seventh grade at Evergreen Middle School.
"Our family's thoughts, hearts, prayers, and many tears are with the entire Roos family on this tragic occasion," one contributor wrote. "Know that your son was loved, and that he touched many lives in his brief time in this world."

Prices repel vacationers
Just recently the price of regular gas jumped from $3.74 to $3.95 per gallon. Earlier this week it was down to $3.48 per gallon. I have to say, in my opinion, this is just a lot of price fixing on the part of suppliers and gas station owners in the Grand Traverse area. I believe that someone from the governor's office should be looking into this. We are the highest price in the state now. There's no reason for this other than greed and profit for distributors.
Do you really like to pay the highest price for gas in Michigan? What does it say about Traverse City hospitality for vacationers and film festival goers who come from afar to be here?
My take: It drives them away from here and to another location for vacationing and entertainment.

Irony of insurance
I find it slightly ironic and somewhat sardonic that Republican Rep. Dave Camp was afflicted with cancer, whose cost of treatment would destroy anyone financially who didn't have insurance, while Mr. Camp was against insurance for others.
He'll happily use his taxpayer-provided insurance. Rep. Camp doesn't have to worry about hospital and medication costs with his wonderful free health care.

Bob Doyle, Columnist
Cumberland Times-News
In today's America, we face an important choice: being civil (respectful of the views/rights of others) or continuing "the culture war."
There is a remarkable book by noted Christian thinker, Os Guinness, a frequent speaker at Universities and business conferences around the world.
Guinness' book is "The Case for Civility: And why our Future depends on it," 2008, Harper One, ISBN 978-0-06-135343-7. On the back cover are statements praising this book from pastor Rick Warren, Charles Haynes of the First Amendment Center, a professor from a Jewish theological seminary in New York and a Chair of Islamic studies at American University in Washington.
This book opens with an excerpt from a commencement address delivered nearly 50 years at American University.
"So let us not be blind to our differences — but let us also direct our attention to our common interests and the means by which these differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit his planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." President John F. Kennedy, June, 1963.
Guinness in his first chapter states that in the last century about 100 million people were killed by secular regimes, another 100 million people were killed in wars and yet another 100 million people perished in ethnic and sectarian violence.
These fatalities in one century alone surpass the number killed in all religious persecutions and repressions in western civilization history. Today in America, there are great religious and ideological rifts that tend to divide us, rather than unite us.
Despite this, Guinness feels that the civility has its most fertile ground here in America. This is due to America's origin based on equal opportunity, due rule of law, representative government, freedom of religion, speech, assembly, public education and the presumption of innocence.
Guinness (who lives in Washington) sees the U.S. reduced standing in the world due to "America is not modeling the American way as once she used to." The culture war being waged on television, in newspapers, magazines, and on the Internet have diminished America.
Here is a summary of America's five big challenges according to Guinness.
I. The challenge of living with our religiously grounded differences in America is one of the world's great issues today.
II. All members of the educated class must realize that minimizing religion in American society is flawed and damaging to our heritage.
III. The development of the electronic media has created a "global public square." (It is as if all our stained and dirty clothing are on display for all the world to see.)
IV. As most of the world begins to accept the American way as modern; our way of life is now under severe stress and is now longer a model.
V. Americans must choose whether they still value the idea of our country as a force for the common good as opposed to a narrow ethic of self interest. (What's in it for me?)
I see the American "culture war" as being waged against our government (both federal and state), against people who have a different sexual orientation and against people who don't believe as most of us.
Those in the forefront of the culture wars use taunting language that invites an emotional reaction, lessening rational thought. Instead of stating realistic consequences of a new law or practice, the culture "warriors" portray extreme scenarios to fan public fears.
The use of these tactics insure that there will likely be no resolution of our differences. The "culture war" has ground progress in our present Congress to a halt. The prospects for next few years are not encouraging.
I encourage readers to respond to the above ideas by emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com .
THIS WEEK'S EVENING SIGHTS: Late this afternoon, the moon will swing from the morning side of the sun to the evening side of the sun. This Tuesday, a narrow crescent moon will appear to the left and slightly below the brilliant planet Venus very low in the 9:15 p.m. western dusk.
The orange planet Mars appears high in the southwest in the early evening. In the South, the planet Saturn can be seen above Virgo's bright star Spica. While these bright planets appear as points (due to their distances), they shine more steadily than bright twinkling stars near them.
LAST GRAZER SHOW TODAY: For four months, I have been giving presentations on the wonderful animals in our Science Discovery Center in Compton Hall on Sundays at 4 p.m. Today, we will have our last free public program in Compton 224.
"Grazers of the African Plains" describes such animals as the Springhares (of lower Africa), the graceful and elegant Antelopes, Baboons, Zebras, Buffaloes and Elephants. After a 25-minute live talk, our visitors will enter the Science Discovery Center (on first floor) to see the Cavallaro Collection, rich in African wildlife.
You are invited to bring a camera. While you can't touch our specimens, you can take pictures of your children next to a Lion, Leopard, Baboon, Antelope, Zebra, etc.
Our animal talks will resume next September with "Mammals of North America" on Sept. 9 at 4 p.m.
If you like, leave your name and mailing address on my voice mail at (301) 687-7799 and I will mail you a bookmark schedule of our fall presentations.
Bob Doyle invites any readers comments and questions. E-mail him at email@example.com . He is available as a speaker on his column topics.

Out of all thw snap traps these are the best, every Victor has a hairpen trigger and can easily go off ( witch is a good thing). I have caught more mice with these traps than any other brand.
A recent study of last meals of executed mice shows that 95+ percent of mice in my area chose a pea-sized piece of pecan pushed into the rolled metal portion of the latch. The other choice was a similar sized and located meal of fine Wisconsin aged cheddar in an adjacent dining area.
An instruction sheet and video are available that will give detailed step-by-step instructions on how to bait, set, place and dispose of the Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap.

Click here to view the instruction video »
Individuals in a rodent population search for different types of food. For mice, anything high in protein like peanut butter, chocolate or hazelnut spread is a great option. Also, nesting materials like dental floss, cotton or string are also great options. Try to use whatever bait or nesting material the rodents are currently feeding on or using to build nests.
The Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap can be reused or disposed of. It is personal preference. Check the traps frequently to ensure the trap is emptied as soon as the mouse is captured and the traps will last longer. Please note that for personal hygiene and biohazard awareness, disposable gloves should always be worn when installing or recovering any traps.
The trap can be bought at multiple retail locations and online at victorpest.com. To find a store near you, please use our store locator. Click to access the Store Locator.

Frederick E. Allen, Forbes Staff
I am the Leadership Editor of Forbes.
This week at Forbes Leadership, Robert Reiss gathered a forum of executive leaders for an illuminating talk about "How Top CEOs Succeed at Business Model Innovation." George Bradt asked, "Evolutionary, Revolutionary, or Blended Innovation: Which Is Right for Your Organization?" Dorie Clark offered "Three Ways to Foster Creativity in Your Organization." I discovered new evidence that "Most Chief Innovation Officers Are Just Window Dressing." Barbara Armstrong had advice about "Leadership and the Creative Economy: Foster the Spirit at the Heart of Innovation." Gary Shapiro predicted that "Electronics Innovation Will Protect Motorists—and Save Lives." Steve Denning refereed "Clayton Christensen and the Innovators' Smackdown" (see for yourself). Steve also ran a multi-part interview with Gary Hamel that included "Gary Hamel: What Matters Now—Institutionalizing Innovation." I talked to a venture capitalist who believes he has found the secret to "How to Create the Next Silicon Valley." And because no round-up of the latest and greatest on innovation would be complete without it, Susan Adams contributed "New Insight Into How Steve Jobs Thought Different."
This was the week we presented our annual "America's Best and Worst CEOs," along with "America's Highest Paid CEOs." We also ranked "America's Most Reputable Companies" and "The Tech Companies Hiring the Most Right Now." In news about individual companies, Adam Hartung recognized "'Core' as Killer: The Demise of RIM, Yahoo, Dell." Susan Adams looked into the question "How Can Yahoo Handle Laying Off 2,000 People?" Richard Levick caught "Avon Calling When It Should Have Been Clicking." David Vinjamuri noted that "Burger King Has Big Trouble but It's Not Mary J. Blige." Jennifer Rooney conducted an interview that got "Behind the Brand: Jon Brancheau Talks Taxis, Titans, and What's Ahead for Nissan." Carmine Gallo found a way to "Enrich Lives: Invent Your Business the Apple Store Way." And to get you started at that, Susan Adams explained "How to Get Hired at an Apple Store."
We had plenty of other valuable advice for you, too. Glenn Llopis suggested you "Earn the Trust of Hispanic Customers and Your Brand Will Dominate." Nick Morgan advised that if you're "Giving a Presentation? Don't Tell 'Em What You're Going to Say" and had an answer for you if you've ever wondered "What Should You Wear for That Important Presentation?" Carol Kinsey Goman added "Want Collaboration? Watch Where You Sit." Juliet Barbara posed "Two Questions We Should Ask More at Work." Patrick Hanlon explained how "Strategizing Who You Are Not Helps Define Who You Are," and, with similar contrariety, John Kotter admonished "New Leaders: To Make Your Mark Do Nothing." Here's a problem that's not the worst imaginable: Todd Essig inquires, "Cooler Than Your Boss? Research Says Say 'Thank You.'"
We inaugurated a whole new section of Forbes Leadership: Forbes Insights, with wisdom from the staff of our custom research division. Bruce Rogers welcomes you to it here. We keep looking for and finding new ways to keep you informed and entertained about all aspects of leadership all the time. Does your job itself do as much for you, or even, for that matter, keep you awake?
That's a serious question: See Rawn Shah's "Does Your Job Keep You Up in the Daytime?" Yes, only at Forbes Leadership.
Fred – Good for you for focusing on innovation this week. It's a basic lesson that we keep learning over and over. There is no value in sameness. When organizations converge on the same model, they must cut costs and undercut their competitors' price. When they innovate and diverge, they create value for all – including their consumers, customers, collaborators, employees, owners, and communities.
Brilliance equates to innovation and having faith and patience will lead you to greatness. Forbes has created an audience that brings powerful minds together. Thank you all for your positive and motivating comments.
We keep looking for and finding new ways to keep you informed and entertained about all aspects of leadership all the time.
Does innovation really deliver? History delivers the answer:
More than half of the Top 25, with histories as public companies, in BusinessWeek-Boston Consulting Group 2006 senior management survey on innovation scored with better profit margins and higher stock prices over the past decade.
The innovators achieved median profit margin growth of 3.4% a year since 1995, compared to 0.4% for the median Standard & Poor's Global 1200 company. And the group's median annual stock return of 14.3% was a full three points better than the S&P 1200 median over the decade.
More than 50% of survey respondents said the CEO or chairman was responsible for driving innovation. Without targeted support from the corner office, innovation efforts will get lost in the corporate culture need to respond to short-term demands.
Sooner or later somebody has to say it "Americans have become fat and lazy" – literally and in terms of what we're willing to take on. We could lead the World and restore our economy, if we focused on solving problems. Regarding job-creation, it will never come from government programs and it never has.
As a nation we have lazily become very incremental about everything, including innovation. Small steps are all we're willing to even consider. SOLVE problems with economically-viable solutions and the resulting "demand" will create jobs.
My work is here: http://www.Solutioneur.com
Solve something. THAT will make a difference.
Ah my dearest Andrew,
perhaps before we solve all the pressing issues facing American Society today, we should get our own houses in order.
Shall we begin with yours?
ever yours truly,
Hello Mr. West
your 'work' is certainly prolific…
kindest regards,
Mr. West,
Your work seems hollow and meaningless, or am I mistaken?

I've been making Maangchi's kimchi for a couple of years now. I've taught quite a few Koreans how to make this too as I've not met many who know how to do it themselves! I always make a big batch of the spice mix and use it with just about everything else I cook – the umami levels in it are through the roof.
The recipe is here.

The schedules of the Pasquerilla and Richland performing arts centers, both in Richland Township, are filled with dance, music, theater and comedy.
Michael Bodolosky, executive director at Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on the campus of Pitt-Johns-town, who is in New York City previewing shows, has learned not to fill his season with shows before seeing what new acts he can discover midseason.
He has added six new acts to his schedule and is bringing back some audience favorites.
"It's a diverse season with a lot of offerings for everybody," Bodolosky said.
All shows will begin at 7:30 p.m. except the season finale, which will begin at 7.
Dance troupe Step Afrika! will perform Feb. 12.
The group is the first professional company in the world dedicated to the tradition of stepping, which is a distinct dance tradition created by African-American college students.
In stepping, the body is used as an instrument to create intricate rhythms and sounds through a combination of footsteps, claps and spoken word.
Bowfire will return to light up the stage on Feb. 20.
The group's "All Star Show," featuring the finest lineup of fiddle and violin virtuosos ever assembled on one stage, will take the audience on a musical journey, moving seamlessly from jazz and classical to bluegrass, Celtic, rock, gypsy, world, Texas swing and Ottawa Valley and Cape Breton styles.
The fast-paced show also will include step dancing, tap dancing and singing.
Winter Jazz 2013 will feature the a cappella musical group Rockapella performing "Motown and More" on March 22.
The event, which benefits the Blackington Endowment for the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center, will include the sounds of Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, The Commodores, Hues Corporation, The O'Jays, Martha and the Vandellas and The Temptations.
Bodolosky said this will be the first time Winter Jazz has featured a group rather than a single artist.
"We wanted to try something different," he said.
"This is their new show, and it's excellent."
The name Rockapella is a combination of rock and a cappella, and the group sings original vocal music and a cappella covers of pop and rock songs.
Its sound has evolved from high-energy pop and world music toward a more rhythm-and-blues style.
Two of the season's newer entries will have free admission.
U.S. Air Force Band and the Singing Sergeants will perform April 1, and the Ringgold Band and Messiah College Jazz Ensemble will perform April 18.
"Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis," Bodolosky said.
The Air Force Band helps to create bonds between the United States and the worldwide community through world-class musical presentations and ceremonies.
The Singing Sergeants, the official chorus of the Air Force, is one of the world's most versatile and traveled choral organizations. It features 18 professional airmen-vocalists recruited from the finest colleges, universities and music conservatories to serve as active-duty musicians in the Air Force.
The Ringgold Band was organized in 1852 as the Independent American Brass Band of Reading. It changed its name to the Ringgold Artillery Brass Band in 1853.
The band upholds the time-honored traditions of concert band music as well as provides music to satisfy any audience.
The Messiah College Jazz Ensemble is regarded as one of the foremost college jazz ensembles in Pennsylvania and surrounding region. It plays a variety of music ranging from traditional big band to funk.
Bodolosky is friends with the conductors of both groups.
"They're both going to Erie for the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association convention, and this is the perfect place for a stop off," he said.
A theatrical production of "Fiddler on the Roof" will be presented on April 7.
The universal story of hope, love and acceptance is filled with a rousing, heartwarming score that includes "Tradition," "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," "If I Were A Rich Man" and "Sunrise, Sunset."
When River City Brass Band brings "Big Band and Doo-Wop Brass" to the arts center April 12, the audience will be taken on a trip down memory lane as the band celebrates the music of America's most famous bands.
Special guests will be Johnny Angel and his musicians.
The DePue Brothers, who play violin, will perform April 19.
The four brothers play a vivid blend of bluegrass, classical and rock music.
Another new entry in the season will be Kenny Vance and the Planotones and The Fabulous Hubcaps, which will double-team onstage on April 28.
Kenny Vance and the Planotones redefine oldies with vocal authority and freshness, its material influenced by the music of the '50s and '60s.
The Fabulous Hubcaps is one of the nation's most sought-after oldies and classic rock show bands.
"They both perform oldies and doo-wop," Bodolosky said.
Popovich Comedy PET Theater will return with its performing pets on May 2.
The show is a family-oriented blend of the comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich blended with European-style clowning, juggling and balancing acts.
The Four Freshmen will bring their distinct harmonies to town on May 10.
The quartet has had a profound influence on American jazz and pop singing for decades.
Juke Box Heroes Live will bring stars to life on stage May 17.
The Mahoney Brothers encompass 50 years of musical magic in one night singing the hits of Elvis, The Beatles, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond and everything in between.
Local high school performers will have the spotlight when "Showcase of the Stars" is presented at 7 p.m. May 18 to end the season.
The area's best high school musicals will come to life on stage as students perform selections from their 2012-13 musical season.
Information: 269-7200, 800-846-2787 or wwwupjarts.org.
"Electrify Your Strings," a music educational phenomenon that fires up students and teachers by injecting a high-voltage dose of rock into a school's music education program, is new to the schedule at Richland Performing Arts Center.
Mark Wood, an original member of Trans-Siberian Orchestra for 13 years, conceived the program.
After two days of practice with Wood and his band, Richland music students in grades 5-12 will be rocking in concert with the band at 7:30 p.m. April 2.
Wood, a world-renowned musician, composer and electric violinist, will be joined by his wife, Laura Kaye, as vocalist and their son, Elijah, as drummer.
"We thought it was a great program," said Scott Miller, executive director of Richland Performing Arts Center. "He contacted us since he's on a national tour and will be passing through Johnstown."
"The concert will be open to the public."
Musical selections will include Wood's own compositions and arrangements of classic rock and contemporary music, such as Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train," Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" and the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
The concert will benefit music education at Richland.
Richland's regular season will continue with the Recessionals Jazz Band, which will jazz up the stage at
7 p.m. March 23.
Born on the streets of New York City, the group is a highly celebrated ensemble that specializes in traditional jazz, including New Orleans standards, gospel, spirituals and early New York City-Tin Pan Alley standards.
"This will be for people who enjoy jazz," Miller said. "When you say jazz, this is what you think of."
Proceeds from the show will benefit Richland Theater Boosters.
"On the Town," the classic American musical composed by Leonard Bernstein, will be onstage at 7 p.m. March 1-2 and 2 p.m. March 3.
The story follows three American sailors on a 24-hour leave in New York City during wartime 1944.
The musical introduced several popular and classic songs, including "New York, New York," "Lonely Town," "I Can Cook, Too" and "Some Other Time."
"School House Rock – Live!" will be the Richland Junior High School musical at 7 p.m. April 26-27.
The play follows the story of a nerve-wracked schoolteacher who is anxious about his first day of teaching and sees characters who show him how to win over his students with imagination and music.
Songs include "Just a Bill," "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly" and "Conjunction Junction."
"This is for grades 7-9," Miller said.
"We have it every year. It's a good part of our theater program – to get them hooked younger."
Students in grades 7-12 will perform a musical tribute to Broadway's greatest shows in "Way Off Broadway," at 7 p.m. May 19.
Musicals showcased will include "42nd Street," "Phantom of the Opera," "Miss Saigon," "Les Miserables" and "South Pacific."
"This will be songs in concert," Miller said. "There will be some acting as a prelude to the songs, but it's more of a concert atmosphere."
After the Summer Performing Arts Academy 2013 is held June 16-29, "Disney's Little Mermaid Jr." will be performed at 7 p.m. June 28-29.
The classic musical is the story of beautiful young mermaid Ariel who longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above.
It will feature the hit songs "Part of Your World," "She's in Love" and "Under the Sea."
"This is the Broadway version for ages 11-18," Miller said. "We've had kids from all over the area – Cambria, Somerset, Bedford and Blair counties.
"We're getting more from the Pittsburgh area who might come to stay with their grandparents.
"Last year, we had some from Washington, Indiana and Westmoreland counties. We're starting to branch out."

Shop Talk
Retailers, consumers and prices
Target pops up, but this time with a focus on price
Target is a big fan of the pop up store, setting up miniature versions of itself for a few days so shoppers can buy its wares, often in cities where it does not have a large presence.
A year ago, right before the financial storm hit Wall Street in September, it set up "Bullseye Bodegas" in Manhattan, where it showcased exclusive merchandise by 22 designers.
This year for the holidays, Target will open 3 Target To-Go stores Dec 11-13 in New York City, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. They will offer 50 "wallet-friendly gifts" like toys, home decor, beauty and fashion. Target's fashions from Rodarte will also be sold in the pop up stores a week before the collection hits its stores nationwide on Dec. 20.
"This holiday, we wanted to give our urban markets a little slice of Target," said Shawn Gensch, vice president of marketing. "Target To-Go gives time-starved city dwellers a joyful, convenient and affordable holiday shopping experience."
The bodegas are coming! The bodegas are coming!
The drink cooler is lined with linens. The fridge is stocked with jeans. The soup cans don designer labels.
It's Target's take on the local New York City bodega as the discount retailer prepares to open four "Bullseye Bodegas" in Manhattan.

MADISON, Ga. — Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has announced a floor covering manufacturer is planning to expand its plant in Morgan County and create more than 200 new jobs.
Deal announced Thursday that Mannington Mills is planning to create 219 new jobs as it expands its Plant in Madison — about 30 miles south of Athens. Deal says the company is planning to invest $50 million in the expansion.
The company manufactures vinyl, rubber and porcelain tile, hardwood, laminate, carpet and more.
Officials say the company is essentially doubling the size of its facility and expects to quadruple its manufacturing capacity. The company expects to break ground by the end of the year.
The company plans to fill new positions by January 2015.

A computer forensics expert says it's easy to recover deleted text messages, photos, videos and more from discarded phones, making their former users vulnerable to thieves.
The most embarrassing or sensitive text messages and photos that ever crossed one of your discarded cell phones - even the ones you deleted - could be in someone else's hands, a computer forensics expert said.
"I don't know if there is such a thing as a totally secure phone," said Patrick Paige, a former computer forensics detective who cofounded of Computer Forensics LLC.
Extraction devices that can recover even deleted data can be bought online, some for as little as $8. Beyond the invasion of privacy, the data can be especially useful for identity thieves.
A reporter purchased several used cell phones from a thrift store and gave them to Paige for analysis. Within minutes, he found photos, names, phone numbers, text messages and videos.
"This person's identity, I could probably steal pretty easily," he said.
So what should people do with their old cell phones to ensure their privacy?
"I'd break it in half," he said. "Yeah, that's what I would do. Snap it in half."
If that seems too extreme, he recommended performing a factory reset that wipes most information from many phones, removing passwords from apps and removing the memory card before getting rid of your phone.

^ She certainly has it coming.
My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.
OK, well the NNN awards allusion to the 'holy trinity' was misleading. I'm happy. Just wish it was Phi Phi! Ugh. Guess we are stuck with her until the end.
Just realized that next week should be the final episode of the season, correct? Usually, the top 3 start the episode, someone is eliminated half-way through and the other 2 LSFYL for the crown (usually).
Chad's depiction of PeePee in the Bitch Ball puppet challenge may be my favorite minute of this season.
The orange spray paint, the snaggle tooth, the shade about PeePee's failed "The Help" joke, some more shade ... then the spot-on, dripping in sarcasm "I'm sure America is just going to love you," complete with a pinch to puppet PeePee's cheek. I fell over. Loved seeing that side of Chad, and loved seeing PeePee's "that's not me" reaction.
That the girls were reaching into a glory hole to draw their puppets. I'm wondering whether that will be The Soup's clip, or the intro with Ru making a dozen naughty puns about dogs and bitches while introducing the theme?
Goodbye Latrice. But, it was time ... big girl hasn't really done anything noteworthy in a long time, her only bright spot being the duets challenge victory that Willam was 90% responsible for. Chad was far better last night, and schooled Latrice in the LSFYL. Done deal.
Wonderful runway "goodbye" words from Latrice, as well as some sweet mending words to the other gals in the Untucked episode.
PeePee really did do well - in all respects except for being a decent person - this episode, so I can finally agree with the praise she got on the runway. But, if she wins this.
Dita Von Teese in the pink box lounge. Very funny bit, good for a giggle. But, really, I don't buy it "as presented."
I would be shocked if Sharon didn't win, also shocked if Pee Pee isn't the one eliminated halfway thru. I think both Sharon & Chad show a lot more originality in the challenges. Maybe it's because I like Chad's fashion taste more than P P's but I hated the dog park Nikki Minaj look. And I loved the Cruella De Ville runway look. I would have put P P's overdone look in the bottom 2. If she had been there, Latrice would have buried her in the LSFYL.
I wish Chad & Latrice had supported Sharon in that she wasn't lying about P P. Maybe she would have woken up to reality if more than one person would have called her out on her backstabbing ways, like when she told Jiggly to do the magazine challenge seriously instead of funny. And Chad should have confronted her about her ragging on her age. BTW P P complained about Sharon's wish for a cruise but she always thinks someone is sabotaging her if she doesn't get her choice, like with the dogs. Someone had to have the bloodhound, so why not the most unpleasant person? And I have NEVER seen her offer Sharon any help. She has a very twisted view of herself.
I also thought the right people won the 2 challenges. Chad was hysterical with the puppet & Sharon's look in all 3 challenges was spot on.

Untucked should have been called Unbearable this week. I wanted to throttle Phi Phi to make her shut. the. fcuk. up.
ETA I was sorry to see Latrice go. i loved her spirit. Plus she did two of the best LsFYL's ever.

I LOOOOOOVED the "conversation" between the dogs in the Interior Illusions Lounge--hilarious!
Bitch, I am from Chicago!
Willam looked fab as trophy girl during the NewNowNext Awards show. Girl got to do two of her favorite things -- change into multiple fashions and self-promote -- in an efficient, nifty 90-minutes.
Got to also give props to Kelly Osbourne, who was pretty good as host. She is getting better at this "reality personality and host" career.
Jiggly Caliente "as Naya Rivera" was ... odd. Sharon Needles falling on stage was ...
WTH is up with this little girl being the featured STAR throughout? Creepy, especially during the come hither LYFYL v. Willam.
Speaking of creepy -- Perez Hilton. The weight loss has helped push his face into Maria Shriver territory, and I don't care to see his torso -- whether chubby or emaciated.
Yeah, we don't want her in NYC and certainly not on LOGO. She can go back to the Ozarks with that scary-assed mother of hers.
He looks like he aged about 20 years! He could be a Boca Raton retiree.Speaking of creepy -- Perez Hilton. The weight loss has helped push his face into Maria Shriver territory, and I don't care to see his torso -- whether chubby or emaciated.
[Er, right, Fergus? Confusion would be understandable, what with the "god-awful", "creepy", and "Bride of Chucky" references.]
I'm so disappointed. I got up this morning thinking I was going to get to watch the finale but instead I'm getting a rewind edition online. Was the finale on TV last night? I don't get that channel so I have to watch on Tuesdays online.
^ Yes! [SPILLER]Shangela finally won!![/SPILLER] Whee.
Nah, it was the clips show. Nothing huge to report, except that Pandora Boxx is still frigging hilarious. She, Channel and Mariah did the "top runway looks" portion. Channel was barely serviceable, and Maria had some nice dry-funny quips. But PB was ... so many great one-liners, including one re: Sharon Needles' "Botox/nosejob" look -- something like "oh, look, it's Madonna two weeks before the Super Bowl realness".
Nothing else was truly reportable, but I'm a bit worried about a would-be throwaway comment from PeePee during her "you're on the show!" Skype session. She snipes, "well, you might as well fit me for the crown right now, because I'm winning it!". Please don't be foreshadowing that they will play as she'd being crowned next week. Please
Not a spoiler (no inside information here), but speculation on the crowning:
SpoilerI'm starting to buy into the mindset that there will be two winners. Ru's saying "I'm breaking ALL the rules, and it's during the finale. What else could it be but dual winners? Edgic would say the two are the queens who've bloodied and bruised each other all season-long -- Sharon and PeePee -- but I'm hoping for a "besties" winners duet with Chad and Sharon ... as a "whole" they merge two wonderful worlds of drag into one perfect queen.
Beefcake. We all know that reality shows are edited to add excitement and drama (usually to draw more viewers), so I think to the contrary...PeePee won't be the winner. Can't wait to see the finale though.

I think Sharon Needles deserves the title but my sentimental favorite is Chad Michaels. It's hard for me to judge where PP should end up because he's so unpleasant & bitter that I can't be unbiased. I would have to the curb long ago.
As for PeePee, I just don't see her taking the title. The top 3 in past seasons are way better than her.

Both passengers and public authorities have increasing requests and demands on the quality and regularity of the rail transportation. Passengers expect a good quality of service. Public authorities also need to better follow and financially reward the production contracts and commitments.
Punctuality is also a concern for train operators who need to produce a zero default service in order to beat the competition (road, air transportation). Therefore, they need reliable measurement tools in order to monitor their activity and to negotiate with public authorities.
How BearingPoint brings value
BearingPoint has developed a specific methodology and tools, which enable follow-up and measure the actual rail production, together with passenger flows. This enables the measurement of:

My favorite version of Jane Eyre is a mini-series I saw on PBS or A&E years ago with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke. My least favorite is probably the Orson Welles/Joan Fontaine one.
Just got back and I'm really pleased with the adaptation. I thought it captured the spirit and feel of the book beautifully. And I thought both leads were brilliant. I might have liked to see them age Fassbender a little -- I always think of Rochester as older than that -- but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing about either of them.

Original recipe yields 3 dozen cookies
- In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together until evenly blended; set aside. Beat the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped nuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
- Scrape the dough onto a sheet of waxed paper, and form into a log. Roll tightly in the waxed paper, and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Unwrap the dough, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place the cookies onto baking sheets, spaced 1-inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

I have been making this recipe for years as it is delicious. I got the recipe from my mother in law and it is my husbands favorite. She always used shortening instead of margarine and pecans instead of walnuts chopped fine. I have made them with butter flavor shortening which I really prefer. I also made them with butter but really prefer the shortening. My husband is diabetic so this is his "treat" at Christmas. His mother passed away many years ago so I feel sure it brings back good memories.
I was so happy when I found this recipe! My mother made these every year for the holidays for as long as I can remember.I have searched her recipe boxes and couldn't find this recipe. She is now in a nursing home and asked me to make refrigerator cookies for her as a treat. After making numerous recipes from other cooks and not quite getting the cookie she remembers,this recipe has put a smile on my Mama's face! If you are looking for an original icebox cookie,this is the one! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Allegheny County officials have a big bash planned for the reopening of Lake Saturday, with free activities for adults and children from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Festivities begin at 10 a.m. with bike rides led by Pittsburgh Trail Advocacy Group and a 5K Fun Run & Walk around the lake, giving folks an opportunity to admire the impoundment as it was meant to look when it was built on Pine Creek in 1936. that had accumulated over the years.
The reopening ceremony set for 11:30 a.m. will feature County Executive Dan Onorato, Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Fourth District, and other officials who helped secure funding for the project.
Although the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contributed $5 million, the county picked up most of the tab, which also covered launch improvements and the dredging of Irwin Run pond this past spring.
Lack of adequate rainfall has kept the lake so low, the free canoe rides originally slated for tomorrow's "lakefest" may have to be scrapped, and it could be weeks before folks can get onto the water, said Steve Smallhoover, the county engineer who managed the two-year, $21 million lake restoration.
As of Friday morning, the county hadn't officially canceled tomorrow's float trips, but Smallhoover doubted they would occur.
"The lake is at least six feet below spillway elevation and not suited to boating," he said. "It's not just about water levels. It's about filling in the surface area of the lake."
Lakefest organizers said there are so many activities planned for tomorrow that folks will have too much fun to lament low water.
"Not getting onto the lake---if that winds up being the case--won't be a big deal," said county spokesman Kevin Evanto.
Few folks are more excited about the reopening of the lake than Gary Rigdon, chair of Friends of North Park, a stewardship and advocacy group that has served in an advisory role throughout the lake's restoration.
"It's been a long time coming and it cost a lot of money, but it's really worth it," said Rigdon, of McCandless. "After watching the lake get shallower and more unsanitary each year, it'll be great to have deep, clean water."
His group will lead hikes through the park tomorrow beginning at 1 p.m., and a scavenger hunt at 2:30 p.m., and will share a booth with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council.
Lee Stauffer, secretary of the Allison Park Sportsmen's Club, is also delighted the lake is about to reopen. It means his group can once again sponsor Don Wagner Memorial Kids Fishing Day, a popular annual tradition.
"When the county closed the lake, we couldn't find another suitable location," said Stauffer, of Shaler. "This year, we put $1,000 worth of trout in the pond above the boathouse at Rochester Grove, and 82 kids showed up."
"It'll be good to get back to the lake next year."
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission also plans to resume its annual trout stockings for opening day, and while it has begun to stock warm-water species, such as crappies, those populations will take time to establish. Structures installed in the lake will help fish to colonize.
The county is advertising fishing at Marshall Pond tomorrow and has waived the admission fee at the North Park pool, where a disc jockey will play music.
The Corps' Bobber the Water Safety Dog will be on hand from noon to 3 p.m., along with Mike the Balloon Guy, face painters and local vendors.
In keeping with a picnic mood, Roadside Ribs of Bridgeville will sell $5 pulled pork sandwiches, $3 grilled hot dogs, $1 beverages, and $2 ice cream treats. Turner's Iced Tea, Doterra, 5-Hour Energy, and Dick's Sporting Goods will offer giveaways, while Zoot Island will perform calypso, reggae, salsa and classic oldies music.

College basketball betting heats up on Thursday with three major conferences starting their tourneys, plus plenty of other action.
The Big East Tournament began Tuesday with its massive 16-team field. Defending tourney and national champ UConn has wins and covers the last two days over DePaul (81-67) and West Virginia (71-67 OT). The tourney No. 9 seed can wrap up a March Madness berth when it meets top-seed Syracuse as 7-point 'dogs at noon (ET).
Sixth-seed South Florida is also a bubble team and meets No. 3 Notre Dame at 9:00 p.m. (ET). That spread will be available shortly.
The Big 12 is also down to its quarterfinals. Tourney No. 9 Texas A&M got a nice 62-53 win over No. 8 Oklahoma on Wednesday as 1½-point dogs. The reward is an encounter with top seed Kansas at 3:00 p.m. (ET). That spread is pending at press time. The best conference tilt is No. 6 Texas (+1) against No. 3 Iowa State at 9:30 p.m. (ET). Iowa State should make the NCAA tourney either way, but bubble Texas needs a victory.
ACC aching to get going in Atlanta
NCAA tournament locks are North Carolina, Duke, Florida State and Virginia and all have first round byes until Friday. North Carolina State and Miami are bubble teams with 9-7 records in conference play.
The Thursday slate starts at noon (ET) with tourney No. 8 Maryland (-4½) taking on No. 9 Wake Forest. After that is No. 5 NC State (-13) vs. No. 12 Boston College. The night games start at 7:00 p.m. (ET) and it's No. 7 Clemson (-2½) against No. 10 Virginia Tech, followed by No. 6 Miami (-6½) vs. No. 11 Georgia Tech. Maryland in 2004 is the last team besides Duke or North Carolina to win this tourney and it was Wake Forest (1996) before that.
Note that NC State is just 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven games as a favorite. Two of those ATS losses came against Boston College despite wins of 76-62 and 56-51. Virginia Tech was just 4-12 SU and 4-11-1 ATS in the conference, although a better 2-1-1 ATS in the final four.
Miami and Florida State is the most intriguing of the potential Friday games. It's a great in-state rivalry that extends from the gridiron to the hardwood. Florida State is also looking for revenge after a 78-62 beating in South Beach on February 26. Miami also covered the road meeting despite losing 64-59.
Big Ten battle begins in Indianapolis
NCAA tournament locks are Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana. The first four have first round byes and will begin play on Friday. Purdue is very likely in and Northwestern is firmly on the bubble.
The Thursday schedule begins at 11:30 a.m. (ET) with tourney No. 8 Iowa (+1½) against No. 9 Illinois. Coming 25 minutes after its completion is No. 5 Indiana (-13) vs. No. 12 Penn State. The two night games beginning at 5:30 p.m. (ET) are No. 7 Northwestern (-2) against No. 10 Minnesota, followed by No. 6 Purdue (-9½) vs. No. 11 Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are playing their first-ever Big Ten conference tournament.
Indiana finished its conference schedule strong at 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS, while Penn State was just 1-6 ATS as a double-digit 'dog this season. Northwestern could catch a break with Minnesota center Ralph Sampson III questionable with a knee injury.
Glancing ahead to Friday, conference No. 4 Wisconsin should get Indiana in a couple of national top-15 schools. Wisconsin won the only meeting between the teams, 57-50 as 8-point favorites in Madison on January 26.
SEC starts things off in Big Easy
NCAA tournament locks are Kentucky, Florida and Vanderbilt. They all get a first round bye in addition to bubble team Tennessee. Mississippi State is another bubble team, while Alabama is very likely in.
Thursday action from New Orleans starts at 1:00 p.m. (ET) with tourney No. 8 LSU (-2½) facing No. 9 Arkansas. That is followed by No. 5 Alabama (-9) vs. No. 12 South Carolina. The night tilts commence at 7:30 p.m. (ET) and it's No. 7 Mississippi (-4) versus No. 10 Auburn, with No. 6 Mississippi State (-5) vs. No. 11 Georgia in the nightcap.
Alabama played well down the stretch at 4-1 SU (3-2 ATS) despite second-leading scorer Tony Mitchell (13.1 PPG) getting suspended for the season. Mississippi State could be getting its second wind after surviving at South Carolina (69-67 OT) and then beating Arkansas (79-59) in its final two games. The Gamecocks had lost their previous five.
A potential Florida and Alabama matchup on Friday is very intriguing. Billy Donovan's guys rolled over the Tide 61-52 as 3-point road favorites on February 14. However, the Gators are reeling a bit heading in, losers of three in a row and 4-straight ATS.

Gotan Project - Tango 3.0 Deluxe Limited Edition (2010/FLAC)

I have been listening to this album many times and I can understand the mixed reviews. Many people are disappointed with the new Gotan Project album. In my opinion most of them were awaiting for something new and innovating, because the band was very innovative from its beginnings. Lunatico set the bar quite high. However, I see Tango 3.0 as a consolidation of their work. They know what they do and this album is really well-crafted. You will not discover any new sound (in the end it is tango, everyone knows how tango sounds). Furthermore, some of the songs in Tango 3.0 remember us to their previous records "La revancha del tango" and "Lunatico".

To graduate from the Honors College, you must successfully complete a freshman seminar, the Honors Core Curriculum, two honors colloquia, and a senior project or thesis. Many other honors course options are available but not required. Refer to info for current students to see which courses are offered in upcoming semesters.
Honors students must maintain an overall grade point average of 3.33 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).
Freshman SeminarAll new Honors College students must take the freshman seminar (1 credit) in the fall semester. This course will orient you to the Honors College and Ball State. It is supervised by an advanced honors student and offered on a credit/no-credit basis only.
Honors Core CurriculumSix honors core courses substitute one-for-one for courses that all Ball State students must take in the University Core Curriculum. Honors College students in most majors need no additional courses to fulfill the University Core Curriculum requirements. Required honors core courses are:
Honors ColloquiaHonors College students must take two upper-division honors colloquia (2-6 credits total). These special classes, available for a maximum of 15 students, explore topics not normally offered, or not offered in depth, in the Ball State curriculum. Some colloquia are offered year after year, but many may be offered only once while you're at Ball State.
Senior Project or ThesisThe required capstone experience for each Honors College student is a senior honors project or thesis (3 credits), which is normally completed in the seventh or eighth semester. This is an individualized opportunity to work in-depth, one-on-one with a professor of your choice on a topic that is meaningful to you. The project or thesis is usually—but not always—within your major or minor, and the form it takes depends upon your abilities and interests.

We've had the 3000 serious soundbar for a couple of weeks now and everything has been fine. Last week I started to notice static/crackling coming from the main soundbar and one time the wireless sub made a constant rapid thumping noise. I'm more concerned with the static/crackling. It seems to happen mostly at night after the unit has been used for many hours. What is going on? I'm getting ready to return the item because it is extremely annoying.
On a side note, if I change channels it will go away and when I come back to the channel I was on it will be okay, but then will start up again after a varied amount of time. I don't have the time to diagnose if it happens if I leave it on the other channel because I want to watch my programming. And no, just to preempt it, it is not just one channel on my satellite. This also occurs when watching DVD's/Blu-rays etc.
I'm at my wits end.

After seeing a rather traumatizing video (no matter what side of the divide you're on), I decided to clear my head (and yours) with some music videos.
Australian singer Lenka dropped this charming video for Valentine's Day. If you like indie visual design and/or bangs, you'll love this vid. Look for an OKG review of her new album, "Two," soon.
Young the Giant released an enigmatic (but awesome; wait for the end) video for ace single "My Body." The band looks like it's a blast to see live; catch them next Wednesday, the 9th, at Opolis.
The Kill Van Kulls (featured in this OKS) go surfing in the '70s. Yep.
In previous years, Norman Music Festival has done an incredible job of bringing acts to town that would rarely, if ever, come here. Of Montreal, Dirty Projectors and The Polyphonic Spree are were headliners that sparked an "oh, man, I can't believe that they got them" excitement.
This year's main stage doesn't feature an artist like that. With the exception of Ty Segall, four of the five national touring acts on the main stage have been in the metro before (two of them in Norman!) within the last two years:
• The Walkmen: Meacham Auditorium, October 2009
• Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears: Diamond Ballroom, June 2009
• Peelander-Z: The Conservatory, October 2010, among other concerts
• Foot Patrol: Opolis, May 2010
Here's the full Saturday main stage schedule, in reverse:
9:30 p.m. — The Walkmen
8 p.m. — Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears
6:30 p.m. — PeeLander-Z
5 p.m. — Ty Segall
3:30 p.m. — The Fortune Tellers
2:30 p.m. — Foot Patrol
1:40 p.m. — The Non
12:50 p.m. — Penny Hill Party
Headliner letdown aside, I'm relentlessly stoked that The Non finally made it to the main stage, but I'm baffled that they're opening for The Fortune Tellers on the bill. The Fortune Tellers are an on-again/off-again band based in the metro and, uh, Greece.
I'm also surprised in a good way that Penny Hill is opening the main stage (and a band, I'm assuming, as the "party" bit). Good for her!
Headlining other stages: jam band dude Keller Williams on the Jagermeister Stage, Mississippi indie-rockers Color Revolt (not to be confused with Colourmusic) on Sooner Theater Stage, and Austin indie-pop group White Denim at Opolis.
But the most exciting headliner of the entire festival is on Thursday night at Opolis, as Norman indie-rockers The Neighborhood are re-forming. Philip Rice (now of Visions of Choruses), Matt Duckworth (now of Stardeath and the White Dwarfs), Blake Studdard (also Visions of Choruses) and Eric Mai threw down some of the best rock that the metro has heard in recent years, and it was a shame that it fizzled out a couple years back. And now they're back for at least one show, and perhaps more. This is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, headline of the festival.
NMF4 is scheduled for April 28-30. The Gazette will be there, tweeting and blogging away, just as at SXSW.
The Love Language is here!
And I don't just mean physical touch, words of affirmation, etc. (I mean, that's here, too, if you want to discuss it, but …) The sunny pop band's stop at Opolis tonight will be its third metro jaunt in the past year, as Stuart McLamb and company recently supported Telekinesis and Local Natives. If you haven't caught them yet, you must not want to; but if you've yet to witness, hightail it out to Opolis.
Norman pop/rock band Ape Angel will open the night.
The Neighborhood
12:30 a.m. Friday, Norman Music Festival
Opolis, 113 N. Crawford
After arriving too early at Blackwatch Stage for Unwed Sailor, I also arrived too early at Opolis for ManMade Objects. Instead, I caught the end of Saturday Sirens' frantic set. They were really pounding on their instruments and voices. It was a pretty impressive ruckus with a lot of movement.
After thoroughly enjoying Standridge's music, I returned to Opolis to actually catch Man-Made Objects (right). Their tunes fell in the space between psych and shoegaze, which made for a woozy, mind-melding experience. The band didn't move around much, but they made up for their lack of motion in dissonant volume. Fans of reverb and My Bloody Valentine should perk up their ears.
Ryan Lawson's folk/country amalgam is unique for several reasons: he doesn't have much twang (like folk), he strums a lot (like country, and his vocals knob is perpetually set to "holler." He falls in the space between the genres, and his singular vision is always exciting and interesting. His set at Sooner Theatre Stage was no different. He entertained the audience with his excellent tunes and charming stage presence, despite putting up with some unnecessary shuffling of other people's equipment during the front end of his set. It was a joy to just kick back and enjoy some foot-stompin' good tunes.
It was also a joy to see Laura Wiederhoeft and Kyle Reid at Sonder Music. I'll listen to anything Kyle Reid does — so this set was guaranteed on that front — but it was also Wiederhoeft's (Off Boyd Jazz) last Oklahoma set before a move to Wisconsin. This can't-miss set lived up to its promise, as Wiederhoeft (vocals) and Reid (acoustic guitar) trotted out originals by both, jazz standards and even a Reid instrumental on cigar box guitar (his latest venture). The originals were the most riveting, with Reid's instrumental being a jaw-dropping highlight. Wiederhoeft's voice was sultry and inviting as usual, shining brightest on a Reid-penned tune about (what else?) the craziness of being in love. It was a thoroughly calming and enjoyable set. Wiederhoeft will be missed.
Because I knew I was going to miss Penny Hill Party on the main stage, I stopped back in at Opolis to watch Penny Hilary ("I am Penny Hilary, my band is Penny Hill," Pitchlynn said) acoustic. Her loose, meandering songs quite impressed me, exciting me for a 7" record that she said was coming out on Nice People this summer. Although her modus operandi included a flowing, easy pace, her best songs tightened up the formula a bit, allowing for immediately memorable melodies.
Norman Music Festival 4 is officially in the books. It came, it saw (metaphorically), it conquered (also metaphorically).
It had a lot of new things: a third day, more stages, new locations for old stages, a weird laser-tag thing, a Friday day stage and more. Many of these changes had pros and cons.
The addition of Thursday to the slate gives the fest the ability to grow into a heavy hitter, but this year, it made things spread a little thin on Friday and Saturday. It felt as if some of the bands were stacked toward Thursday to entice people to go to the new thing: Opolis blew it out with tons of talent on the first night, then had an abbreviated day on Saturday.
Still, despite this enticement, Thursday attendance only hit 3,500 (35,000 people attended Saturday, with 9,000 hitting up Friday). This could have been due to the distance between stages, lack of advertising (several people told me they didn't know it was on Thursday) or the fact that people are busy during the week, but only toward the end of the evening at Opolis did the night really feel festival-esque.
Still, I like the move, and I hope that people get adjusted to a Thursday/Friday/Saturday schedule. I think that as the fest grows in prominence, talent will fill out all three days. The same is true of the new stages; as the festival grows, stages will both be able to fill out their schedules and secure only the best of the best. I sincerely hope that there is at some point a cap to stages, however, lest NMF become like SXSW and get far, far too big to maintain quality.
On that note: Laser tag? What the heck?
The new location for the Main and Jägermeister stages was excellent planning. Main Street was much less crowded, which was necessary. Last year felt like human pinball, and it was quite uncomfortable. The new stage locations make a lot of sense and open the festival up. Super high-five for that.
Speaking of location, putting Dust Bowl Market across from Opolis was a neat move. I liked it there. Whether or not it's been there in the past, I have no idea; I've only recently been getting appreciative of crafts.
The one big complaint I have with the fest is that I still have no idea what it wants to be. There was an upsurge of Austin bands this year (Football, etc.; White Denim; Black Joe Lewis), which could have been due to money constraints or a decision to focus on regional and local talent. The Walkmen are from New York City, which doesn't help either theory. Is NMF a local music festival? Is it going to try to be full of national acts, like Austin City Limits? There has always been a huge amount of local acts, and the presence of Montu so late on the Jägermeister stage provides ammunition for the idea that this will be a continuously local thing.
This confusion is partly due to a lack of clarification in their ad campaigns, and partly because it's still being worked out. And really, I don't care which one it is; I'd love to see an all-local festival, and I'd love to see The Mountain Goats, Sufjan, Radiohead and the Pixies all kicking it in Norman. I doubt the fest will swing to either of those extremes, but it would be nice to know which direction it's heading. This knowledge would make judging its success and growth easier: I tell a person that the local aspect is the big deal instead of the headliner, there will be less expectation placed on national headliners.
If the headliners are the deal, then NMF should take pains to get bands that would not ordinarily come to Oklahoma. If organizers want it to be a festival about exposing Oklahoma to the outside music world, we need to make a splash every year. This year's headliners weren't a splash: if you search "Norman" at Pitchfork.com, a listing of 2010's headliners comes up, but no 2011 lineup. Seeing as we don't really know if the headliners were intended to be a big deal or not, it's hard to judge the effectiveness of this year's fest.
It was a boatload of fun, however. That can't be knocked. I'm looking forward to NMF5. —Stephen Carradini
I'm no fan of cloning, but only because it doesn't actually do what I want it to do. When I say, "I wish I could clone myself," I really mean that I wish I could replicate/duplicate myself. Bill Watterson, genius creator of Calvin and Hobbes, understood this and created some of the best strips of the best comic series ever about it (scroll down to the sixth strip).
The reason I need a replicator tonight is that there are five local concerts I want to attend tonight. I need duplicates.
The one I'm going to be hitting for sure is the one I've been looking forward to for weeks/months: Brine Webb and The Nghiems' double-CD release show in Norman. I've been stuck on Webb's gripping tunes for weeks now, and I'm thoroughly excited to see them played live. Also, he and The Nghiems are planning to accommodate Thunder fans by having The Nghiems play during halftime, and Webb play after the fourth quarter. As a pretty rabid Thunder fan, I'm stoked about this.
The one I'm most depressed about missing is Feathered Rabbit, Junebug Spade and The Gentle Art of Floating at Belle Isle Brewery. Both Feathered Rabbit and The Gentle Art of Floating are on my to-see list — the former because it's a new Kyle Mayfield (O Fidelis, Junebug Spade, Larry Chin, everyone else in Oklahoma City) project, and the latter because they throw parties, not shows. Alas, I will have to wait yet again.
If the Webb show gets done early, I'll traipse my way over to Opolis, where Kite Flying Robot, Chrome Pony and Guardant will be throwing an end-of-school dance party. I have been known to dance wildly at Opolis.
Before all this started getting crazy, I had planned on going seeing Ryan Lawson, Ali Harter and O Fidelis at Bad Granny's Bazaar, as all three are OKS faves. If you like acoustic country/folk, this is your show; these are three of the best in the metro at it, and rare is the show where they all play together.
And I just heard that Anty Shanty, 318 Main Street in Norman, will be hosting Skating Polly, Luna Moth and Shitty/Awesome as part of Second Friday Art Walk. I still haven't been to a show here yet, despite my desire. Must everyone play on the same night?!
As for non-local artists, Jamey Johnson will be stopping at Diamond Ballroom for those who are into straight-up country. It doesn't get earthier than Johnson these days, so if that's your bag, this is your gig. Red-dirt Austinite Brandon Jenkins will play Joy's Palace, 300 E. Main Street in Norman, also as part of Art Walk. Finally, Avenged Sevenfold ,Three Days Grace and Bullet for My Valentine will be rocking faces off at Zoo Amphitheatre.
Saturday is less stacked, but still a difficult choice, as The City Lives' final show is at The Conservatory; The Boom Bang, Copperheads and Purple Church make ears bleed at Opolis; and new band Bona Fide Villains (ex-Sweetwater) play Sauced.
Don't ever let 'em ever tell you this town had nothin' for ya.
