North Carolina is about to inherit a resource that every state in the country covets an influx of young, eager, well-trained workers.
As home to five military bases, a military ocean terminal and a U.S. Coast Guard base, our state already has the nations ninth-largest population of military veterans, with 770,000. About 160,000 of them call Charlotte home, and 145,000 live in the Triangle. Their numbers will soon surge with two wars wrapping up overseas and the military realigning its forces.
A new report from the N.C. Department of Commerce found that this year, about 11,500 service members with North Carolina mailing addresses will leave the military. Over the next three years, that number will climb to more than 20,000 annually. Of these veterans, 80 percent will be no older than 30, and 90 percent will be 40 or younger.
By training, these veterans are logisticians and planners and supply chain managers. Those are the skills that make a successful business manager, says Robert Rehder, director of the Veterans Business Outreach Center, a U.S. Small Business Administration initiative based at Fayetteville State University. Weve got a lot to work with.
But to what extent will this potential be integrated into the states economy? In recent years, Rehder says, improved U.S. Department of Defense programs have helped military personnel better consider their career options before they leave the service and becoming a small-business owner is as popular as ever.
Lack of funding, planning
Rehder testified two weeks ago before the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, making the case for greater investment in programs that help veterans launch businesses. Data stretching back to World War II, Rehder says, show that 40 percent of newly minted veterans will start their own companies. About 60 percent of those ventures like all new businesses will fail, often because of insufficient planning and funding.
Rehder, a Vietnam-era Navy veteran who later served as CEO of a small maritime shipping company, understands why.
These are people who come from a situation where they are used to taking action all the time. They dont have a lot of patience for sitting around, Rehder says. We have to slow them down and help them understand the elements of the business process.
Then they can get to work.
Hakeem Moore, for example, is a retired combat veteran living with post-traumatic stress disorder. He brings more than 13 years of military service in supply chain management, operations management, executive training and leadership development for staff managers. Building on his experiences, he recently launched i-Suntari, a veterans service organization that trains and equips wounded warriors with the educational skills and capital resources to lead social enterprises focused on agribusiness. He has recently become a Forward Fellow with Bull City Forward (which Christopher co-founded) and is tapping into a broad network of support in the Triangle to help him build his enterprise and expand his impact.
Momentum building
Charlotte Bridge Home, meanwhile, specializes in finding jobs for veterans who would rather work for someone else. Launched just two years ago, the nonprofit has assembled a coalition of Charlotte area employers, from Fortune 500s to small businesses, that have expressed special interest in hiring veterans.
Charlotte Bridge Homes services include assisting veterans with resumes and networking, and setting up interviews with hiring managers. The nonprofit advocates for policy changes, including higher education accessibility and affordability, recognizing that the three main paths veterans follow immediately after leaving the service are starting a business, entering the workforce or going to college.
Throughout the state, momentum is building for veterans. In Harnett County this month, a Veterans Treatment Court opened. Designed to help keep veterans who are struggling with substance abuse problems or post-traumatic stress disorder out of prison, the court is the first of its kind in the state. On the employment front, a new state law has simplified the process for qualified veterans to obtain commercial trucker licenses. Similar laws applying to other professions are under review.
Its still early to measure the impact of much of this work. But with tens of thousands of veterans streaming into the state over the next few years, we wont have to wait too long to find out whats going well and what needs to be done to unleash their talent fully.

I have worn Desire for nearly 15 years. It is the cologne/perfume that will drive men & women simply crazy. It is simply yummy and sweat pounding sexiness in a bottle. What really bothers me is the price. I up still last year paid no more than [$] for a bottle. Late last year and now it is well over [$] a bottle which is way to much. No one was buying this that I new of and men and women at all times would ask me what I was waring when I had it on. No I would not tell them but simply say it's my favorite and I don't want the world to be waring as well. There is one other that I really love that I would not tell of either. It is still at a cost that is affordable. This is a must have for men who really want to know they smell great and that smell is sending out the bait to meet your mate, partner, spouse. I hope it comes down in price I'm on my last bottle. It will make a great gift for that someone special or that someone you want to be special. Hope this helps eveyone.Blessings,

The jury in the Michael Dunn first-degree murder trial returned Saturday to continue deliberations.
The jury is trying to reach a verdict on whether Dunn committed murder or was defending himself when he fired 10 shots at an SUV full of teenagers, killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
The jury will returned for deliberations at 9 a.m. Saturday. They asked the judge just before 7 p.m. Friday if they could go back to the hotel and resume deliberations on Saturday.
The answer to the question, sent out to Judge Russell Healey just before 5 p.m. Friday, was yes. Any count they cannot reach a unanimous verdict could be declared a mistrial, and it would be up to the state if the state wanted to refile charges and hold a second trial.
"It sounds like they're close, so we'll just hope for the best and be in recess until we hear more from the jurors," Healey said.
The jury also asked if they could take a 30 minute break, which was granted.
Dinner was ordered in, so it appears they will continue deliberations into the evening. Healey said he had researched the history deliberations on weekends, and it appears the jury could be asked continue trying to reach a verdict both Saturday and Sunday.
As Davis' parents arrived at the courthouse Friday, Ron Davis said he was optimistic about the verdict, and thinks the jury taking its time to come to a decision is a good sign. Jordan's mother, Lucia McBath, said, "We're just praying for a just verdict.
Some court observers are beginning to speculate on a deadlocked jury, but others say it's not uncommon for a 12-member jury to go this long, particularly since they have to reach verdicts on five separate counts: first-degree murder, three counts of attempted murder -- one each for the other three teenage in the SUV -- and one count of firing into an occupied vehicle.
Rhonda Peoples-Waters, an attorney providing legal analysis for Channel 4 during the trial, said that possibilities of the jury finding Dunn guilty of a lesser charge, or even reaching a deadlock are now being discussed.
"They can come into agreement on some of the counts, and not others," she said.
For perspective, George Zimmerman's six-member jury deliberated for 16 hours before finding him not guilty. The jury that acquitted Casey Anthony case -- which lasted 27 days -- deliberated for 10 hours and 40 minutes.
"There's always the possibility that they will come back to the judge and say 'Judge, we cannot reach a decision,'" said Gene Nichols, another lawyer helping give perspective to this trial for .
Nichols has defended clients whose trials have ended with a hung jury.
"The jury will come back and tell the judge, 'We cannot reach a decision.' And when they do that the judge is going to send them back in and just say, 'Talk about your issues. Go back and give it another try.'"
If the jury still can't reach a unanimous decision, "the judge will have to declare this a hung jury and everyone would have to go home, to try this case another day."
Nichols said Judge Russell Healey will not make this decision quickly or easily because retrying the case would be time-consuming and expensive.
Nichols believes this jury will ultimately reach a verdict.
"It's not very common to have a hung jury. At some point and time jurors recognize they need to make a decision, Nichols said.
The only time the public has seen Healey so far Friday was just after deliberations began when he told spectators and lawyers they were no longer able to wait in the courtroom for a verdict since there was concern that those in the jury room could hear muffled sounds coming from the adjoining courtroom.
Thursday: Full day of deliberations
The 12 jurors spent about eight and a half hours Thursday deliberating, viewing surveillance video inside the Gate convenience store as Dunn fired 10 shots at a SUV carrying Davis and three other teenagers, and making several other requests during the day.
As the jury deliberated the first-degree murder and other charges, Dunn's defense attorney took questions from the media in a courtroom next door.

If the reach is accurate, that's 4" more then Anderson Silva, pretty crazy. The guy has some losses to journeymen and no solid wins, so we'll see how good he really is. Sometimes guys just need to turn a corner in their career, seems like his ground game was lacking a bit, but if he's as good as he's being hyped will be great to see how he does.
I look forward to watching Hyun Gyu Lim fight, in his few youtube clips, he looks like a beast on the feet.
82'' for a WW is crazy
Sherdog has him listed as a LHW. I hope he isn't the Anthony Johnson kind of welterweight and he makes weight without incident.
A 6'2" welterweight with an 82" reach, a boxing base, and four 1st round knockouts in his last 5 1st round wins?! And he trains with the Zombie?!
I think i'm going to skip down the street for a moment. Someone give me a pillow so I can yell into it... or smother me.
Big step up in competition.
82 inch reach!? This guy sounds like a monster at 170. Definitely should be interesting to see him fight
I'll be looking forward to seeing this dude fight.

Korean Zombie teammate signs with UFC
Korean Top Team has signed another fighter to the UFC.
Hyun Gyu Ace Lim has signed a four-fight contract to compete in the UFC welterweight division, a KTT spokesman announced today.
Lim is very big for welterweight, standing 6'2" tall with an 82" reach. He previously fought at middleweight but made the drop to welter recently and has been enjoying success at 170lbs.
KTT describes him as having a boxing base, but his ground game is also very dangerous. As is the case with most Korean Top Team fighters, he's a closer, winning his last 5 fights all in the 1st round.
He counts Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung among his team mates and the featherweight contender had this to say about Lim, Hes huge and really skilled all around. Hes probably the best all around fighter on our team, myself and Dongi Yang included! His fights are always exciting and hes had 4 straight 1st-round KOs.

Mammal Atlas
*If unable to open the PDF document, please download Adobe Acrobat Reader.
San Diego County is a hotspot of biological diversity, species endangerment, and conservation planning. Mammals, however, have been somewhat underrepresented in San Diego's innovative conservation plans, partly because of spotty information on the distribution, ecology, and conservation status of our local mammal species. The San Diego County Mammal Atlas is a highly collaborative effort to fill these data gaps. It will serve as a companion to the recently completed San Diego County Bird Atlas and the San Diego County Plant Atlas.
Project Goals
To date we have built a GIS database of over 30,000 mammal-occurrence records for about 100 species from numerous existing information sources and new field surveys.
We reviewed the accuracy and precision of existing location records to ensure their utility for mapping species distributions at a fairly fine resolution (tens or hundreds of meters). We are also testing a variety of techniques for modeling species habitat associations and geographic distributions in the county, using such environmental variables as vegetation, soils, elevation, and climate. Final range maps will depict both known and expected species distributions, and in some cases historic versus current distributions.
Focused field surveys are used to validate predicted distributions and to fill gaps in previous survey efforts.
The maps and other information are being collated into a book and CD on the ecology, natural history, behavior, distribution, and conservation and management needs of mammal species in San Diego County. Other chapters describe methods for observing, studying, and monitoring mammal populations, and recommendations for improving conservation and land management efforts for mammals in this remarkable biotic region.

Merchant Cash Advance for Web Businesses
Many businesses are increasingly choosing to start doing business online either as an additional avenue for revenue or as their sole avenue for revenue. With more and more consumers turning to the web rather than traditionally seeking out products and services within their area it is become more important for online businesses to be able to adapt to a constantly changing landscape. Alongside the general costs of doing business, online businesses often have to pay for numerous costs associated with their online resources including the costs of servers, bandwidth, and access to the Internet along with their online communications.
When it comes down to it some web businesses can find it particularly difficult to receive financial assistance during harsh times. With the instability of how business is done over the Internet, it can be particularly daunting for a business to adapt to the increasing costs of online services and equipment. In the cases where a small business loan is not possible, a merchant cash advance service can be the next best alternative.
Finding a Need vs Having a Need
When entrepreneurs look at financial assistance there is a common misconception which needs to be addressed. With the rise of investors injecting money into online businesses it is important to understand the difference between finding and having a need. Often businesses search for new uses of capital that they do not properly earn through the course of doing business. This is often referred to as finding a need for their business. Having a need involves the need naturally occurring through the course of business.
Many businesses find new online services or resources that could help make things easier on their business. It could provide their business to offer new services or benefits to their current customers in addition to new customers. While these opportunities are particularly interesting to business owners, many businesses make the flawed assumption that while it is something they need to expand into, it is not a need of the business at the current time.
At the opposite end of the spectrum are those needs that arise when a business is gaining and influx of customers but needs to be able to expand to more servers or integrate new services within their offering the account for the increase in interest. In this case, this is having a need in which a need naturally arrives for the business.
While merchant cash advance loans online can provide a business with an opportunity to expand into new areas and potentially increase their revenues, a merchant cash advance is best suited for the needs which naturally arise for a business which are absolutely vital to the operation of a business. The major difference between both uses of a cash advance involves whether revenue is possible without that funding. A business must be able to survive in order to be able to expand.
The Cost of a Merchant Cash Advance
Obtaining a merchant cash advance is not necessarily cheap. While small business bank loans are an opportunity for a business to receive a low-interest loan from an established financial institution, a merchant cash advance is a private contract based on a business's history of established credit card transactions. Rather than paying back a fixed amount over a period of time, a merchant cash advance is paid back based on daily credit card transactions from clients over a period of time. While a merchant cash advance generally doesn't involved putting up collateral, it is important for a small business to understand that a merchant cash advance is also a more expensive form of financial assistance.
A merchant cash advance involves a premium for the use of the cash advance as opposed to a straight interest rate from the bank. The premium could be a large percentage in addition to the original loan. It is important to understand your financial obligations to the merchant cash advance company prior to starting the service.

My current set-up:
Yamaha RX-V1900
Monitor 60 up front
CS2 Center
PSW10 sub
no rears
I know this is not the most loved sub on here but it does a decent job filling the room. I wanted to know if it would be worth getting rid of the M60s and the sub and getting M70s instead with no sub. Would my receiver be able to drive the M70 and give me plenty of bass given the bigger drivers? Not looking to get an amp tho. I usually do 70/30 music/movies.

KNOXVILLE — The Marion County Fair Board voted Monday night to pledge $10,000 a year for the next five years to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum's "Expand the Dream" fund raiser.
The Hall of Fame is trying to raise a total of $3.8 million. Of that, $1.8 million will be used to build a new staging area and storage space for exhibits. The rest will be used to create an endowment, to ensure the longtime survival of the Hall of Fame.
"The Marion County Fair Association has always supported the Hall of Fame," Hall of Fame Executive Director Bob Baker said. "We were really excited (about the pledge)."
The Hall of Fame has never turned down an exhibit donation. Current storage space it has is insufficient to hold the vehicle and other donations it receives.
Baker said in racing circles, the Fair Board is synonymous with the Knoxville Raceway. Most donors believe that if the Knoxville Raceway is standing behind something, it is a worthy cause. The Hall of Fame has been actively seeking donations for "Expand the Dream" for months. Baker said the donation will make a difference in the Hall of Fame's fund raising efforts.
"It would be hard to do without them," Baker said.

If all goes as planned, the property on the northwest corner of Route 6 and the Interstate 55 Interchange in Channahon will be a planned unit development that includes a gas station and a hotel.
At the board meeting on Monday Chananhon trustees will vote on the annexation agreement. But the property has not yet been acquired by the developer.
"What has to happen is Bluestone has to complete its transaction with the Hammel family," Channahon Community Development Director Mike McMahon said.
Bluestone Retail Partners LLC is planning to develop just under 14 acres of the property, which is on the northwest corner of the intersection. The remaining property, on the south side of the street, is not part of the proposed development. All of the property is currently owned by the Hammel family.
The property once housed Treasure Island Mobile Home Park, which was torn down nearly a decade ago.
If the Channahon Village Trustees approve the annexation agreement at the meeting on Dec. 3, the next step is for them to consider the zoning of the property. All annexed properties come into the village as Residential 1.
The property would need to be C4, Automotive Service District, with a special use permit for a planned unit development.
The PUD would specify that there is no overnight truck parking allowed, that a portion of the property must be a hotel and that the property is allowed to erect a highway sign, something McMahon said is currently not allowed in the village code.
"There is a lot on the site plan, lot 4, that will be marketed solely for a limited hotel use," McMahon said. "Once the annexation agreement is adopted, (the developer) will have two years for that to be the only purpose.
"After two years, they can market it for other businesses."
At what cost
McMahon said trustees are happy to see development on the property that for years stood only as an eyesore at the entrance to the village. But, considering the issues the village has faced with truck traffic from nearby Pilot, there are concerns.
"Part of this project is the realignment of the Frontage Road," McMahon said. "They are going to swing the frontage road approximately 800 feet to the northwest, to align with the Frontage Road by the McDonalds."
Once the realignment is complete, there is the additional question of the possibility of a traffic light at the newly-formed intersection.
"As Bluestone goes through their process of designing the road … we would have to petition IDOT to vary from that 1,250 foot standard (between traffic signals), McMahon said. "We feel it's warranted."
The proposed development was recommended for approval by both the planning and zoning board and the Community Economic Development Commission.
"I think it's reality," McMahon said. "The board realizes that this is right off the highway.
"There's not a lot of uses that would generate the type of revenue that this one would; the reality is that the trucks are here and the village should take advantage of it."

If you have never tried it before, the task of trussing, or tying meat together, can seem a little daunting. Sure, there are ways to get it done, but as with most things, there is a right way to do it. Chef Jane Ward explains that once you get the hang of it, it is really a simple thing to do. Essentially, it is just using a few feet of kitchen twine used to make a series of knots that are tied down the length of the roast, looping around underneath it, then connecting back where the original knot was made.
Tying a roast keeps meat in a round shape while it is cooking. In doing so, it cooks more evenly.
Around the holidays many people incorporate stuffing in their meats. The process of trussing a meat is the best way to ensure that the stuffing will stay in place.
For a practice using this trussing technique, try Ward's recipe for Crock-Pot Pot Roast. You won't only prepare a hearty meal this holiday season and you'll also have the opportunity to show off your new kitchen skills.
Trussed Pot Roast
Two 3-pound beef chuck roasts
3 to 4 feet of kitchen twine
1. Open the roasts down the middle without cutting all the way through and stack them on top of each other.
2. Loop the twine around the top of the two roasts and double knot it.
3. Take the twine and hold it about 2 inches down from the knot with your thumb and loop it around the roasts sliding it back under itself where your thumb is making a slip knot. Continue to make these knots all the way down the roast.
4. When you get to the end string the twine underneath the roast and pull it taut. Knot it around the first knot you made and snip off any extra twine.

North Jefferson News
BIRMINGHAM — A Pinson man who identifies himself as a "sovereign citizen" will serve time in federal prison for financial fraud.
Donald Joe Barber was given a two-year sentence by U.S. District Judge Inge Johnson on Monday. Barber, 64, was convicted in April of mailing a "bonded promissory note" to his mortgage company to satisfy payment. According to a statement from U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance, "Barber presented the fraudulent $10 million note as if it were a valid financial instrument drawn on a secret U.S. government account."
Barber will serve his federal sentence after he completes those he's currently serving on other state charges. After his release, he will serve two years' probation.
The sovereign citizen movement is a losse-knit group which claims that federal, state and local governments have no authority over them, and refuse to recognize U.S. currency. The movement is classified by the FBI as an anti-government extremist group.
"Members of the Sovereign Citizen movement embrace an unfounded, mythological history of the United States to claim that they live outside the authority of government and its laws," Vance said in her statement.

HGTV Message Boards
HGTV Design Star
Vern's statement says it all
As the judges were debating the designers' bus challenge, Vern said something like, "Anne does beautiful every week. The viewers love beautiful every week." Then, they then dismissed her. I have never seen anyone ask for more spaces that are only artistic, with no function.
It has been obvious that HGTV doesn't care about what the viewers want, but Vern put it into words.
I think there was more to it than that - Anne also had time management problems and this was what, the second or third messy bed she showed? Yes, given enough time and help I'm sure she could turn out a beautiful space, but there needs to be more to it than that. I in no way want another Antonio, but Anne seems to do what any competent design professional can do - there is nothing special or dramatic there. And - she does seem to have melt downs rather easily - this would, IMO, make her a tiny bit difficult to work with. I deal with problems on the job site every single day, but a melt down face is NOT the one I present to my clients - it's MY job to assure them that everything will be fine.
David was pretty specific when he told the contestants to think outside the box. Vern's comment could also have been taken as "Anne can pull a room together but she really isn't very creative". I have made this comment before on other posts dealing with different topics but I do believe it is a matter of context:
A non professional pulling together a series of "tasteful" rooms in the currently proscribed style is to be commended. A pro giving you slight variations on the same style over and over is either playing safe or has limited scope. Neither which are called for on a televised contest.
There is nothing new in soft gray neutral Alexa Hampton type styling. It's all over Pinterest, Houzz, ect. She has taste, but does that equal "star"?
While it wasn't Anne's best design, it was head and shoulders above one of the other chosen three. Never going to watch Brooks. Anne had great tips. Tiffany looks hers up on craft websites and I can already do that so I won't be watching her either.
I didn't like Anne's meltdowns and the fact that she consistently couldn't finish her rooms. I love Jerabi and Tiffany. Brooks is not star material. Interesting that they haven't gotten any of them to "pitch" their own show thoughts.
You all have valid points about Anne. As soon as I saw that she wasn't going to switch things up, I knew she was in trouble. Plus, I'm not impressed with any of the designers this season.
I just find it frustrating and disappointing to hear that they know what the viewers like, but do not care. I miss the great programming and wish they start running some quality shows again.
I couldn't watch this last episode and still haven't found that full episode. I've watched every other video that is so very easily found. [dig] So I had been looking forward to us actually having a show I'd like to watch.I like her style etc. I have liked Tifanies too.
I will say this though that designers styles are something that stays with them.Let me illustrate Emily as example.I was for her before and wanted to watch her shows and read her work online. I lost interest maybe because it's my age factor ideas or I just want to see something else once in awhile. Her style no matter what theme there is to me seems always the same. The same type chairs and couches used.The same kind of design in art work and pillows. There seems to be no other style. Though how would I know if I stopped watching her shows or reading her blog.?
I think Tifany would be okay for what I would like to see. Hate to jinx it by hoping.
Anne did the same boring design every week. Every week she had a disheveled bed in her room. I was getting bored with her and her 'I'm so great' attitude.
I think the judges like people who think outside the box. they are going for more artistic designs these days.

Last Friday Art Walk kicks off on Jan. 25 and will continue monthly through downtown Maryville every last Friday of the month.
Last Friday is a tour through businesses and venues along downtown Maryville's streets to look, listen, feel and see what the fine arts community in Blount County is up to. Katie Gamble, a Maryville artist and the event organizer, said it will be similar to First Friday, a Gallery Crawl that happens monthly in Knoxville. The special evening, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., will showcase different kinds of art at various stores, clubs, restaurants and retail shops in downtown Maryville.
"It's called Last Friday with the idea of 'Do you know what happened last Friday?' We aren't calling it a gallery crawl because not all the businesses participating are galleries," said Gamble. "So we are naming it Last Friday Art Walk."
Gamble, who is serving as FAB exhibit chair, said she hopes the event grows and becomes something people plan their time around each month. "I want people to think, 'Oh it's the last Friday of the month. We've got to go down and see what's new downtown,'" she said.
The First Friday events that happen on Market Square each month in Knoxville were the inspiration for the Last Friday Art Walks.
"For me, I don't miss a First Friday. All the potential clients are out; it's a good way to meet other people," Gamble said. "I'd like to see that happen here. Maryville needs something oriented toward the arts, and our downtown area is being revitalized. People don't realize how charming it is."
To get the venture going, Gamble took the idea to the board of directors of Fine Art Blount, which has just recently opened a gallery in the Harper Building, below Dandy Lions.
"We have a rotating monthly exhibit. I told the board that one of the things I thought would make the gallery successful would be to start a whole gallery crawl and get everybody involved. Thankfully, they thought it was good idea."
With FAB's support, Gamble put the shoe leather to her dream. "I started going door-to-door downtown, talking to business owners and people who are part of FAB. I think this is going to be good not only for all the artists in town looking for new places to show work, but it's going to be good for businesses," she said.
"I don't want this to die out. I'm going to see this through," she said. "I've got it scheduled for the next year."
Gamble said that while Maryville artists are enthusiastic about the event, artists from other areas also want to participate. "The artists are thrilled," she said. "They're really excited because we don't have enough galleries and spaces. This gives all kinds of possibilities for showing work."
Participating businesses downtown will each host a exhibit reception for their featured artists, which will change each month, Gamble said. Some businesses will have "featured Last Friday specials" such as dinner/drink specials running just during the time of the event.
Downtown businesses also are excited about the event because it will bring the community downtown each month. "It was a no-brainer for businesses, and I've encourage businesses not participating in the gallery aspect to open just for the commercial aspect of it," Gamble said. "They (customers) will mosey in if the lights are on and the doors open. The last Friday of the month, there should be a lot of activity downtown."
Realtor Dan Mizell has been a proponent of downtown redevelopment and said the art walk is a good idea. "We need to create walking traffic downtown, and we have a wonderful art group in this area that a lot of people just don't know about. They can use that exposure," Mizell said. "It's a win-win for everybody. It will bring people into the downtown area to see art on exhibit in different businesses, and people will go into businesses they haven't been before and see wonderful art."
Heath Claiborne, owner of the Capitol Theater, said when he first heard about the Last Friday Art Walks, his thought was that he could be an instant participant. "We've been here so long, and there really hasn't been any venues for art. We have artists who want to show their art in my place, and we don't have enough room. This will let locals know where the artists are," he said.
Claiborne said he has never seen a lot of traffic downtown looking for art. "I'm really excited. For the first time, there will be people specifically looking for places to view art.
Claiborne is adding a different twist to the Art Walk as he offers his theater for film projects.
"I will have my own art work and new creations for each walk, but I'm also excited to contribute my private theater as part of the crawl as well. People will be able to view classic or independent movies or short films people have created locally in the theater."
Southland Books owner Lisa Misosky, who sponsored Art Mart at her store for several months on Saturdays during the summer, said the event unites all local people interested in art, including Southern Studios Stainglass and Fine Arts Blount. "It gives artists a venue to be able to exhibit their stuff. It is what we've been doing with Art Mart, and we're glad to be a part of it," she said.
Stacy Austin will headline at Southland in January and Corrin McIntyre will be featured in February.
Brackins' Blues Club owner Mark Brackins said Last Friday could bring people downtown. "It's great for artists with the exposure, and it's great to bring people to see what's going on downtown," he said. "The more people you bring downtown to see it, the better, especially blues lovers."
Gamble said several individuals asked how people are going to know which businesses are going toparticipate. Each walk will have one business acting as "host" for the evening.
"FAB will be the host for the first walk and will provide a map with all the businesses participating. The public will know and be able to mosey down each street and make sure they don't miss anything," she said. "Whoever hosts the art walk in the future will be responsible for that map."
Gamble said the Last Friday Art Walks are going to help downtown Maryville. "I really think this is great. Everybody likes to look at pretty things. What better way than to go to a beautiful downtown area? Maryville has such a great variety of artists and people downtown," she said.
The art walks will give FAB an opportunity to bring attention to programs the group spearheads, said president Kim Slater. One such program, ArtReach, works with at-risk youth and teaches workshops in art education and art appreciation at Everett Learning Opportunity Center, Slater said. "We do an actual art project that they do from start to finish. It takes two to three hours and they have the satisfaction of finishing a project the same day."
The group also helps with outside the classroom. "Painter and sculptor Carol Smith has also done work with stroke patients at Blount Memorial Hospital," Slater said.
Slater said she hoped the Last Friday Art Walks play a major role in the continuing revitalization of downtown. "I think it will increase traffic and interest and get people down there after hours," she said. "Once they're down there, they'll stay to eat and shop and see the many things downtown has to offer."
FAB is in a growing phase, and Slater said Last Friday will give them good exposure in the community. "It could let the community know what we're all about," she said. "We have a lot to offer, such as workshops and events, and we have a lot of talented artists. We are here to increase awareness of the fine arts in our community."
The art walk will include a wide variety of art work and artist, Gamble said, including painters, photographers, a wood-turner, stained glass artists, music, dance and other performing arts.
"I have one graduate student from Maryville College who is going to be building an outside installation sculpture. He is going to be building this big sculpture out of 'found' objects. It's a mountain of a thing you can walk around and observe, and it's freestanding - no glue.
"There will be live music, sculpture, photography. Hopefully, we'll get poetry reading and dance," she said. "Amy Moore Morton has agreed to open her studio for people to observe the dancers practicing at Van Metre School of Dance, home of Appalachian Ballet Co."
The East Broadway entrance to Preservation Plaza also will be open for artists interested in having a small venue, and it will be available for people wanting to perform or display work, Gamble said.
All that is needed now, said Gamble, are the crowds. "Come down and experience it. You're not going to know 'What Happened Last Friday' unless you come," she said.

When people go "scot free," it means they get away without paying. But where did that phrase come from?
It originated in Scandinavia in the 11th century. Scot is a word for tax and we all know what free means, even if there aren't many things in life that are. It's hard to believe that taxes date back that far, but maybe not so hard to believe some people have always been trying to get out of paying their share.

Yep looking to 2013 already.
by, 09-17-2012 at 01:51 PM (1329 Views)
I am a very frustrated Twins fan right now. I am looking at what could be a complete overhaul, or a spending spree for 2013. I am not sure what to root for. As of this second you have to look at what the Twins could throw on the mound next opening day roster.
De Vries?
Duensing? (Please no)
Blackburn? (Please no)
So lets look at diving into free agency this off season, and see who I can peg off the list. I am going to just shoot out the top 10 names and my opinions of what I think, and knowing the Twins for years what they might think, and lets put together a SP rotation.
Greinke-- $21 million a year, I don't think I would do it, I am pretty sure the Twins will not do it. I would consider a 4 year $80million, but he is going to get way more than that.
Peavy-- I like Peavy, He would get about $18 million a year. I am pretty sure this is too steep for the Twins as well, although I would also try for a 4 year deal around $75million, he is going to get more than that.
Kuroda-- He is too old, his value is too much for the Twins for a 2 year player, he will get about $15M a year.
Dempster-- Not a fan, going to be paid too much $15M a year
Lohse-- Former Twin, always consistent, I like him, he has found a comfort zone in the NL, I think he will get overpaid, I don't think the Twins are interested in $14M a year
Sanchez-- Talk about a down year for a highlight player, whoever signs him is going to take a gamble, I don't think the Twins are gambling $13M a year
Jackson-- same name that came up last 2 years for the Twins, value is at $11 M, if they haven't gotten him yet, I don't think he is coming.
Colon, Saunders-- I wouldn't take either of these guys, already in down parts of careers.
Feldman, Lewis-- both World Series guys, both have a 2.2 WAR, both would be getting paid around $9M a year. Neither of these guys were really impressive this year for the Rangers, Feldman is still relatively young, if I were to take stab it would be for him, even though he is throwing up a +5 ERA so far this year.
So those are the top 10 Free Agents on the board, do you see any one of those guys in a Twins uniform? I really don't. I am going to throw out 3 names that are past the top 10 that I would take a chance on. First:
Villanueva- 19th best SP in free agency, he has pitched for the Blue Jays, and anybody who pitches in that division gets about a .5ERA nock off, pitching anywhere else IMO. 3.42 ERA in 14 starts, 118 IP, his value is $6.4 Million a year. About a K, an inning. This guy is 29, and I would take a chance on somebody like this.
Dice K- I know what you would think, we don't need another injury bug, but the deal is, if we are going to gamble on somebody, which we do every year, I say lets give him a chance. He is 32, coming off injury, he didn't put up good numbers right away, I think he is coming back strong, reports are good, I would even overpay, to take a chance at him. We need a top of the rotation guy, he could be it at a discounted price.
Pavano- I really think Pavano wants to stay, I would not pay an extra penny of his expected worth, which is tough to say because of injury. I don't think it is a big chance on him, I mean look at the 3 years previous he has had 200 IP, if we can get him at a (I like the organization, I want to stay) price, I don't think that is a problem as long as he is recognized as a number 2-3 guy.
So after all of that searching, and by the way here is the list in order, to take a look at and have your own opinion. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.asp...,2140,305,1904
At this point all I can say is this is what I would do!?!
I would take the biggest chances on Villanueva and Dice K, lets say we got those guys. I would say Baker wouldn't be ready to go opening day, I would give hope that Gibson may be, we will be optimistic, so then you would have the void of one of these guys, (Pavano, Hendriks, Deduno) I am just putting one of them in there. It could look like this.
Dice K
How much would that cost the Twins next year to have that starting rotation, then having Baker coming back off of injury, and pay him the $9.25M next year, which I don't think will happen, but I think the Twins will try to resign him for less, and do so. Is $25.5 to little to say that could happen, is $25.5 too much to completely revamp the starting lineup? The Twins spent $24 on SP in 2012. What can you expect, if you find an Ace, that is $20 for one pitcher, if you look at this we added 3. You take Span off the books, which you may be able to swap one of those guys for a pitcher if that is what he gets traded for. I am not sure, but I think this is what I would do. To be competitive next season you are going to have to spend money, if you don't completely gut everything including the managers, and start over if you can.
