Fish projects announced
Southwest Michigan fisheries biologist Jay Wesley has announced fish management plans over the next year.
Those plans include fish stocking, habitat rehabilitation projects, creel census, fish community surveys and angler access programs.
Wesley's district covers the Grand, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph and Galien river watersheds and all the lakes and streams within that area.
Some of the highlights of DNR projects on waters frequently used by Hoosier anglers include fish surveys on Sand, McCoy and Pipestone creeks; a reduction of brown trout stocking on the Galien River; a fish survey at Benton Harbor and St. Joseph; a survey on Lake Templene; and walleye and channel cat stockings on Palmer Lake.
Here are some of the DNR's other plans:
Berrien County: Extensive habitat improvement along McCoy Creek through the city of Buchanan is planned for this spring and summer. Chinook salmon stocking will be reduced from 140,000 to 48,000 at the Port of St. Joseph to reduce predation in Lake Michigan. Brown trout stocking rates will be reduced on the South Branch Galien River to better match the streams carrying capacity.
Cass County: Shore and wading opportunities for brown trout are available at Dodd County Park on the Dowagiac River and Russ Forest Park on Dowagiac Creek.
St. Joseph County: The Type B trout regulation will be removed from Corey Lake, but this regulation change will not go into effect until at least 2014.
Barry County: A proposal to increase the muskellunge size limit from 42 to 46 inches and to potentially stock muskellunge in Gun Lake will be out for public input throughout the spring. A bass recruitment evaluation will be conducted this fall on Gun Lake. Thornapple Lake will continue to be stocked with Great Lakes strain muskellunge to maintain a brood stock population and will be stocked with walleye. The size limit of northern pike on Fish Lake has been reduced from 30 to 24 inches.
Branch County: Fish community surveys are planned for Lake Lavine, Prairie River and Fisher Creek.
Kalamazoo County: The Long Lake northern pike size limit will change from 24 inches to a 24-34 inch protected slot size limit.
Van Buren County: North Scott Lake is scheduled for a fish community survey. The South Branch Paw Paw River and Pine Creek will continue to be stocked with brown trout, and some sites will be moved. Sand Creek will continue to be stocked with brown trout. Chinook salmon stocking will be reduced at South Haven and a creel survey will be conducted there.
For more information about management activities, contact Wesley at 269-685-6851, or email him at email@example.com.
New muskie/pike regs
The Michigan DNR reminds anglers that new muskie and pike regulations go into effect April 1.
New Northern pike regulations now include the establishment of a 24- to 34-inch protected slot limit regulation on several waters. The DNR believes this new regulation has the potential to increase predation levels by larger northern pike on smaller northern pike and result in a greater number of larger northern pike on various waters.
A new provision for waters where up to five northern pike may be taken restricts harvest to only one northern pike greater than 24 inches allowed as part of the daily possession limit of five pike on those waters.
Muskie changes include limiting anglers to only one fish (including tiger muskie) per season. Anglers must have a new muskie harvest tag in possession to keep a fish, but are not required to obtain the free tag to fish for muskies.
For more information on fishing for muskellunge and northern pike in Michigan, please review the 2013 Michigan Fishing Guide.
Hunter safety class
Bend of the River Conservation Club in Niles will host a Hunter Safety/Bow Hunter Safety Class April 4-6 with registration March 24 and 28.
Class hours are 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. April 4-5 and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 6. You must attend all three days to receive a certificate. Cost is $10, which includes lunch on April 6.
Sign up will be at the club between 4-6 p.m. March 24 and 7-9 p.m. March 28. For information, call Jim Leonard, 574-387-4899.
3D Archery Hunt
The Michigan City Izaak Walton League will conduct a 3D Archery Hunt April 7 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will 30 3D targets on a one-half mile course cut through wilderness and it will entertain beginners and challenge experts. Cost is $10 for non-members and $8 for members. Lessons will be offered and breakfast and lunch available. For more information, call Jason Hogan, 219-877-5800.

In debt to a Russian mobster, Stephen Dorff finds himself attempting to steal an ornate cross from a Moscow high rise. Partnered with two hapless Russian criminals, all seems to be going well until Russian sidekick #1 grows trigger happy and kills someone in the heist attempt. Soon Mr. Dorff and company find themselves on an elevator full of passengers, stuck on the thirteenth floor with security in hot pursuit. Their simple heist then turns into a hostage situation and all begins to go down hill as they soon learn that the hostages have quirks of their own.
It's official folks, the argument we've been having around here about whether or not Uwe Boll has actually embraced his ironic appeal is now over, as today's news is so ridiculous and not fake-able that he has officially proven himself every bit as insane as we had all postulated.
Uwe Boll is suing Billy Zane. Yes, bald headed, hot sistered, star of "Titanic" and many other films... Billy Zane.
From Hollywood Reporter:
It's that time of year folks! Saturday May 3rd, 2008 is 'Free Comic Book Day' at comic shops across the nation!
From their press release....
"One of the goals of Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is to reach out to those individuals unfamiliar with the comics specialty market, not to mention a comic book shop. So, every year those behind Free Comic Book Day launch a massive promotional campaign that heralds the event and spreads the good word of comics to potential readers everywhere."
Remember the survival horror series from the original Playstation called "Clock Tower"? Me neither, but Senator Entertainment does and they're making it into a movie. The film will be directed by Martin Weisz ("Hills Have Eyes 2"), and will center on "a girl who finds herself committed to an insane asylum and haunted by a horror she does not understand."
You may recall that Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell and Heather Langenkamp are all directing parts of an anthology film titled "Prank". Well, they did the right thing with the poster art (at the link) by plastering the lovely ladies all over it. Still no trailer or info on when it will be released, but right now it's all about Danielle Harris' cleave... so, enjoy.
Wardrobe test photos from "The Last House on the Left" remake, which is still being shot in South Africa as we speak. This one is being produced by Wes Craven himself (as his other remakes have been), so we'll have to wait and see how it turns out. I don't remember Palm trees in the first one, but hey, what are you gonna do.
Trailer for "Gallowwwalker", the zombie western film starring Wesley Snipes. In related news, he's in jail so he can't really enjoy it.
Shauna McDonald (Sarah) and Natalie Mendoza (Juno) are both returning to "The Descent 2". Not to spoil the first one, but um, I'm not exactly sure how this is going to go down. I guess they're starting the second film out by throwing logic completely out the window... good sign already.
If you live in South America, expect to start seeing a "Most Wanted" campaign focused on hunting down the last of the Nazi war criminals. Many of them fled to South America after the war, and considering they're all in their 90's or older, this game is going to start getting considerably easier. If you have information, there is a $485,000 reward involved.
Big conservative politician in Australia tearfully admits to sniffing a female colleague's chair shortly after she stands up. And there it is folks, the story that makes getting up in the morning totally worth it.
If you're going to attend a friend's party dressed as Jason, you may not want to walk through the streets with the mask and a chainsaw. This guy was followed by a helicopter and eventually ambushed by a group of armed police officers. Also, note the hilariously unrelated use of a picture of Eminem dressed as Jason in the article... nice touch. Because it's so hard to find a picture of Jason on the internet anyways.
1945: Joseph Göbbels and his wife Magda tell their six children they are about to receive inoculation shots, but the injections actually contain poison. The parents then exit the Fuhrerbunker, where an SS man shoots them both in the back of the head.

Hey, PtR, I'm a random lurker/troll who has visited several times over the years. Now that the Spurs dynasty is dead, I thought I'd go over my random trade ideas because obviously the Spurs need to start tanking in order to get the next Tim Duncan. Here are my three points on the Spurs, which should be definitely followed by the front office.
[Editor's Note: You have the right to remain unoffended. Any outrage you exhibit can and will be made fun of in the comments section. You have the right to a sarcasmometer. If you cannot afford a sarcasmometer, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been typed for you? - jollyrogerwilco]
1. Trade Timmy Dunk-man. I've heard that he's called the "Big Fundamental." With such an awesome nickname, he must have some trade value. I'd try to trade him for maybe a lower first round pick, if possible, although to be honest, when I started tuning in in the second half of Game 6, he didn't really impress me. Maybe a second rounc pick or something. Either way, he has to go.
2. Build around a young core of Splitter, Parker, and Blair. A quick look at the Spurs page on Yahoo told me that these three guys are pretty young. I saw Oklahoma City the other night, and they're a young team, too. The key is to trade everyone, including the "Manoe Genoblee" I saw on the floor against the Spurs. I heard that he was clutch, but he shot 6-14 from the floor. That's not clutch to me. I think he might have some trade value, but at this age I'm just not sure. Maybe he should just get released from the roster or something so you don't have to pay his bonus. That's how the NBA works, right?
3. Fire Greg Popovich. I haven't heard much about Lionel Hollins, but I do know the he's some nobody who coaches a random NBA team in the middle of Tennessee. Any time your coach gets outcoached by a nobody from Tennessee, he should be fired. I think that you should hire a guy like Kurt Rambis. I heard he was on the Showtime Lakers, so that must mean that he's a good coach.
Okay, guys, those are my three cents on the issues at hand. I'm going to go eat some lead paint now. Also, for anyone who's counting, I was the first poster who called that the Spurs are dead.

The New Orleans Pelicans wasted no time showing their interest in Sacramento Kings free agent point guard Tyreke Evans when the clock struck midnight, and there fast approach may have paid off. According to the latest reports, Evans could be signing an offer sheet with the Pelicans as soon as Monday night.
Any deal would reportedly be "substantial", but the Kings still reserve the right to match any offer that comes his way.
From Jimmy Spencer of Bleacher Report:
Hearing from a trusted source that Tyreke Evans could be signing an offer sheet with the New Orleans Pelicans by as early as tonight.
— Jimmy Spencer (@JimmySpencerNBA) July 1, 2013
If an agreement takes place, Evans would become one of the first players to agree in principle to a new deal.
Obviously Chris Paul is the biggest domino to already fall, so the point guard market could find some quick action early.
Free agency kicked off just after midnight, so be sure to stay tuned to FanSided.com throughout the free agency period as we keep you up to date with the latest news and rumors from around the league.

What's blocking Big Bertha, Seattle's tunnel boring machine. Has it run into something…?
What's Blocking Bertha, Seattle's 5-Story Tunneling Machine?
Godzilla is back in the news and there's word that a massive boring machine appears to have hit something it can't get through under Seattle.
But before we get carried away about creatures beneath our cities or hidden chambers holding eggs that will hatch monsters, let's focus on what we know about what's happening in the Northwest.
"Transportation crews still don't know what exactly is blocking the path of 'Bertha,' the giant boring machine that's drilling the new Highway 999 tunnel under Seattle. The machine was stopped on Friday after encountering an object 60 feet under South Main Street."
SeattlePI.com says "the latest trouble started … when Bertha's five-story tall cutter head felt some resistance, then stopped."
As The Blaze notes, since Bertha "is designed to tunnel through rock and soil without issue, it's puzzling as to what could have stopped it."
Today, we're hearing from The Seattle Times that it will likely take about two weeks to figure out what's blocking Bertha. It adds that:
"The leading theory is that Bertha hit a boulder, but the soil around it is too soft to hold it snugly and allow the rotary cutter head to crack the rock apart."
What to do?
According to the Times:
— Either pull Bertha back to allow crews to get around it and then, using power drills and hammers, break up the boulder (assuming that's what the problem is).
— Or, "work from above … to drill down and break up the object or to lift it out. That likely would require a protective wall or pit to be installed, holding back sand and groundwater."
But if the problem involves something more mysterious … suggestions are welcome in the comments thread.
Bertha is cutting a nearly 2-mile tunnel that will replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct — a double deck roadway along the city's waterfront on Highway 99. She's the world's largest tunneling machine, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Bertha weighs 7,000 tons, is 57.5 feet high and 326 feet long. You can follow her progress (once it resumes) here and on Twitter.
What's Blocking Bertha, Seattle's 5-Story Tunneling Machine?
It has uncovered the vault that stores Obama's real Birth Certificate, College records, Selective Service Draft Cards and applications, Social Security Number applications, Passports, etc. They will probably leave it there and dig in another spot.

Indeed, it had appeared the game would fizzle out into another 0-0 draw, but when Steven Naismith felled Fabio inside the penalty area as the Brazilian headed goalwards, referee Massimo Busacca pointed immediately to the spot. Rooney stepped up and did the rest.
Sir Alex's men had arrived in Glasgow without first-choice centre-backs Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, but the back four of John O'Shea, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling and Fabio, a combination that had never previously taken to the pitch, repelled all Rangers could throw at them. That wasn't much.
Playing at Ibrox, that famous cauldron of partisan ferocity, Rangers might have been expected to show more adventure. But the home team's ambition amounted to little more than sporadic counter-attacks, meaning Sir Alex's men are now just one match away from becoming the first team to navigate the Champions League group stage without conceding a goal.
The Reds enjoyed plenty of possession in the early exchanges and Paul Scholes probed for openings from the first whistle. The 35-year-old, a veteran of more Champions League games than the entire Rangers side put together, dropped deep to collect the ball from the back four and ping long passes into enemy territory. He orchestrated the move that led to Dimitar Berbatov's unsuccessful penalty appeal in the second minute and found Giggs on the left flank shortly afterwards.

This was a combination of information retrieved by a number of different users on EagleOutsider and elsewhere. I just compiled it together for this post. If you have any information that should be added, add it to the comments and I'll update the post.
With the 1-3 start in the ACC, (hopefully 2-3 after tonight's Maryland game) many posters have expressed concern that next year's recruiting class will not help solve the major problems with BC's squad which for many is front-court depth and interior defense.
If you are not familiar with our recruiting class, the two players joining BC next year both play small forward:
Committed Players
Alex Dragicevich, 6-foot-7 Small Forward - Transferred from Notre Dame
Alex is known for his shooting and has been sitting out this year as a transfer. He's been able to practice with the team however and should be ready to contribute in the 2013-2014 season.
Garland Owens, 6-foot-5 Small Forward
Garland is known more for his athleticism than his basketball skills. He can jump out of the gym and is a player that is supposed to be able to guard the 2, 3 and 4. Here's the recap on him.
Both should contribute at some level next year but many are hoping for some more commits for this class in order to better compete for a tournament bid next year.
Sam Donahue, 6-foot-1 Shooting Guard (Recruited Walk-on)
This is a guy I forgot in the first iteration of this post. Sam Donahue is a recruited walk-on that BC has picked up. He is supposed to be one of the best shooters in New England and a legitimate D1 talent passing up some lower mid-major offers. He should provide depth at the guard position and at the very least, competition in practice.
Here's his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHUrjfvBKkk
Potential Recruits
While both of these players should be able to contribute to the rotation at some level next year, many are asking for another big body or two to be recruited for this year. This post is meant to get a list together of the players that BC is currently looking at to fill out their class this year. Here are the players I've heard they are looking at:
Travis Jorgenson, 6-foot-0 Point Guard - Decomitted from Missouri
Travis is a PG with a high basketball IQ. While he is not the most athletically gifted player, he uses the most of his ability and also possess a nice 3 point jumper. He is supposed to be more of a floor general type and is currently running the point for New Hampton, a team that also features Noah Vonleh (and formerly Olivier Hanlan.)
After de-committing from Missouri, BC is solidly in the mix for the PG. Here is Travis on his recruitment on ZagsBlog:
"I like the relationship with Creighton," he said. "I like the way they play, fast tempo. I love BC, because they've been getting better every year, and all the coaches at Georgia Tech are really nice. I'm just trying to figure out the best situation."
Highlight Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRU2G8DYUeU
ESPN: 44th PG, 73 Rating
Rivals: 31st PG, 138th overall
Competition: Creighton, Georgia Tech
Rashard Kelly, 6-foot-7 Combo Forward
Rashard is the starting PF for Massanutten Military Academy, which is the #1 ranked prep team in the country this year. He has apparently grown two inches in the past year and has embraced the move from SF to PF. While still learning down low, he's supposed to be athletic and a good rebounder. He's also been lauded as a hard worker.
Right now, Rashard is debating whether to stay in the 2013 or take a post-grad year. The general opinion is that BC is the choice if he decides to remain in this class. BC Garland Owens is also his teammate and has apparently been telling him he needs to come to BC.
Here's the latest articles on Kelly: http://news.fredericksburg.com/sports/2013/01/21/prep-basketball-former-charger-excels/
"They want us to come in next year and try to change the culture around the system," Kelly said of B.C. "Right now they have a lot of shooters and they don't really go at it. They're kind of soft. If I go there, they want us to mix up the culture and bring in, not that rough lifestyle, but we're not afraid of anything."
In addition to coaches like Cheeks, the 6'7, 220-pound Virginia native also has one of his friends and teammates recruiting him. "[Class of 2013 small forward] Garland [Owens] is telling me Boston College is a perfect fit for me; he's one of my closest friends at Massanutten," Kelly added. "He tells me every day how I need to come to Boston College. He's persuading me quite a bit."
Kelly plans on deciding whether he'll commit and go to college next year or reclassify and take a post-grad year in the spring. Although there are no schools in particular he hopes gets involved with him, he would like more ACC and Big East programs to recruit him.

Rivals: N/A
Competition: Post-Grad Year, Old Dominion, George Mason, Delaware
Karem Kanter, 6-foot-7 Power Forward
Karem just recently re-classified for the 2013 Class. He is a big body who can play inside and out. He plays for the New England Playaz AAU team and is the younger brother of Utah Jazz forward Enes Kanter. He has an offer from BC and Pittsburgh apparently just offered.
Here is the article on his offer from BC: http://www.newenglandrecruitingreport.com/news/article/2902/Big-Day-for-Kanter.php
And a quote from an ESPN article:
Kerem Kanter reclassifies: Back in December, during the BasketBull Hoops Fest, Wilbraham & Monson forward Kerem Kanter landed scholarship offers from Boston College and Pittsburgh.
On Friday, through Twitter, he announced he would reclassify and join the Class of 2013.
"I just thought it was time to move up," said Kanter. "I felt like I will be ready by the time next year comes."
Kanter, the younger brother of Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter, says he will decide on a college sometime in April. The 6-foot-7 forward is still working on visits, but intends on taking several before he makes a commitment. He listed Miami (Fla.), Auburn, Tulsa, and Drexel as other schools involved in his recruitment.
Kanter has been impressive this season for Wilbraham & Monson with his footwork and ability to score around the basket. Due to the size of the Titans, Kanter has also been able to step away from the basket and show off his shooting touch.
He joins Kamali Bey as WMA seniors still on the board.
Highlight Videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CCPlrnhnH-Q
Rivals: N/A
Competition: Pittsburgh (main competition), Miami, Auburn, Tulsa, Drexel
Darryl Reynolds, 6-foot-8 Power Forward
Darryl seems to be the fall-back big man option right now for BC. He is an interior presence who is a banger and rebounder. He currently plays at Worcester Academy since transferring from Lower Merion in Philadelphia.
The latest article on him from NEHoopNews and his quote on interest:
Boston College (who was in attendance), Providence, and Arizona State have all shown interest at some point, according to Reynolds. He currently holds offers from St. Bonaventure, Rhode Island, Fairfield, along with several oher A10 and mid majors.
"I'm new to the scene," said the 6-foot-8 forward. "I'm not worried about the whole college thing. I'm not going to make my decision until April."
"There's a lot of schools floating around. None of that matters, I just need to keep playing my game."
Highlight Videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyOHSQv8DYo
ESPN: 73 Rating
Rivals: N/A
Competition: Probably ours if we offer soon. Offered by half the A-10
Class Distribution
This was the in the comments and wanted to address class distribution. The BC Eagles currently have 10 scholarship players with Van Nest as the only senior that will be off the team next year (and Daniels transferring to Drake earlier this year). With the incoming freshman and transfer, here's how the distribution looks for next year right now.
2014-15 BC Eagles Scholarship Players
Juniors (7)
Ryan Anderson
Dennis Clifford
Lonnie Jackson
Alex Dragicevich
Eddie Odio
Patrick Heckmann
K.C. Caudill
Sophomores (2)
Olivier Hanlan
Joe Rahon
Freshmen (1)
Garland Owens
So for this year they should have 3 more spots available for prospects for both this year and next. It will be interesting what Donahue looks to do as there a few 2014-2015 prospects like Kaleb Joseph and Matt Cimino that are very interested in BC and are top notch talent. This will also all change if we have anyone leave next year that's currently on scholarship.
The Synopsis
Recruiting is probably not done for this year's class and there is hope that a freshman big man will be backing up Anderson and Clifford next year (along with Odio and Caudill, whatever we get from them) Personally, I'm hoping for BC to land Jorgenson and one of Kelly or Kanter for next year to go along with Dragicevich and Owens.
Who knows, they may even take another player if one of the current players leaves. So let's hope the staff can get some commitments this Spring.

DOWNEY – Veteran actor and stuntman Deep Roy still remembers the first time he tried celebrity chef Baba Ji's cooking.
"Baba and I met long, long ago. When I tasted his food — I loved it," said Roy who's starred in dozens of Hollywood films, most notably as the Oompa Loompas in the 2005 hit "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
"I'm so happy that myself and Baba have found a nice, nice place in Downey for one of the best Indian-Mexican places Downey will ever see."
Hoping to capitalize on the growing nightlife springing up in Downtown Downey, Roy's Indian-Mexican fusion restaurant Cowboys and Turbans will open its next location this Saturday at the Downey Gateway food court.
Cowboys and Turbans, located at 8240 Firestone Blvd., replaces Fresh Cutt Carving Grill, which closed unexpectedly in October.
"It's going to be great, I'm looking forward to this," said Roy, who is partnering with Ji, manager of the dine-in restaurant. "I'm a sleepy partner, but not that sleepy. I'll be there as often as I can."
While slightly nervous about the location at first, Roy said Ji convinced him Downey was the right place for the partners' second restaurant.
"I used to be scared, but Baba showed me the location — we're on a restuarant row — and the people are nice, Downey is an up and coming area," Roy said. "We want to bring a classy place where people can sit and eat drink wine or have a beer then eat some good food."
Along with some traditional Indian cuisine, Cowboys and Turbans will serve cultural combinations including masala fires, lamb tacos, mango chicken tikka pizza, and tofu malasa burritos.
"Indian food has a lot of onion, garlic and cilantro — it goes along with Mexican food really well," said Roy, who says the name ties Indian imagery in with American and Mexican themes. "Turbans are worn by Indians, Hindus and sheikhs…cowboys makes you think of Texas, New Mexico — but we're all Americans that live in a wonderful country."
Roy continued: "It's a great name, a great concept, and good quality food."
According to Ji, the restaurant will officially open this Saturday at 5 p.m. Roy says he'll be present to meet guests and introduce the food to this new audience.
"We want to make the Downey people feel welcomed," Roy said. "I will be there to greet the people — this is not fast food, it's healthy food in a happy atmosphere."

Reconsider airport update plans: Panel
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Feb. 27
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture has called on the Government to "reconsider" its present plan on the modernisation and restructuring of the Mumbai and Delhi airports keeping in view the current domestic and international aviation scenario.
"The present plan will only create monopoly in Delhi and Mumbai. Without a proper assessment it will be myopic to conclude that there is no immediate need of Greenfield airports in Delhi and Mumbai. The Ministry has turned a blind eye to the paradigm shift that is occurring in South East Asia and East Asia where the focus is on development of green and brownfield airport together," the report that was tabled in Parliament on Monday states.
The Government has chosen a consortium headed by the GMR group to modernise Delhi airport, while the GVK group has been shortlisted to develop Mumbai airport.
The Committee has called for review of strategy despite an assurance given by the Ministry that Airports Authority of India (AAI) will be better off. "During 2006-2024 the present cash flow would be Rs 1,286.5 crore whereas if status quo is maintained then there could be a negative present value of cash flow to AAI at Rs 99.89 crore," the report quotes Government officials as saying.
The Committee has also asked the Government to reconsider the decision to close down the existing airport at Hyderabad after the new airport there is commissioned.

Carrier Studio | Art Panels, Art Trays, Paperweights and One-of-a-Kinds
What do you get the person who has everything? A really cool piece of American art! That's what! Tonight we are featuring Carrier Studio's Art Panels. We love Angie's Art Panels and all of the detail that goes into them. Angie share's her story below:
"I believe that the true value of hand crafted is the love, magic, and soul imparted into the item by its maker. Growing up in Eastern Tennessee, I watched and learned as my mother and father made many of the items we used during our lives. I felt their love everyday using quilts that were made by my mother, growing up in the our house fabricated by my father, and the food served, which was grown by the family. Although the mountains that surrounded us were beautiful, growing up in a rural area gave way to plenty of idle time, I think this is were the love of creating things started.
Life since then has taken me down several different roads and through a few different cities, but when my family and I moved to Greenville SC four years ago, I fell in love with an area called the Pendleton Street Arts District. Over thirty artist had already opened studios to work and sell their art. After visiting, I purchased and renovated an old mill house and opened Carrier Studio. An area that once housed all of the cotton mill workers and their family now houses all of these wonderful artist who also are hand crafting a life. Here at Carrier Studio I create original works of art which get reproduced onto various products. All of the products are currently create one by one in the studio and are marketed through my website and various galleries and retailers. I feel that making the reproductions myself makes each piece unique and a little bit of that magic gets to travels home with my customers.
I have spent many years of my life feeling like I was striving to obtain a goal, thinking that is where happiness would be waiting. Now I realize that the happiness is in each and every moment that I get to do what I love. I feel very fortunate as I leave my house each day and head to my studio to create to my hearts content!"
Angie's art panels, Paperweights and Art Trays can be purchased from her online store. Seriously, there's no better gift for the person who has everything than a really awesome piece of American art!

Record Store Day 2012
Saturday, April 21st, fans began lining up at six in the morning to be the first to step foot into Los Angeles' own, Origami Vinyl. The date also marked Record Store Day, a time when audiophiles the world over come out to show their support for the indies, majors and music patrons both large and small. Origami Vinyl paid special tribute by keeping it all in the family and hosting a daytime show two doors down at The Echo, the neighborhood's premier indie venue.
Generic Surplus and eskuché Headphones gave buyers an extra perk by offering a free tote bag with purchase or a coveted white label single from LA's Stones Throw Records. The line to Origami stayed consistent as the sounds of Henry Clay People, Big Black Delta, Races, Zammuto and others boomed from inside The Echo. Guests were also treated to an eskuché listening lounge where the decks were on heavy rotation as bands and fans spun their latest wares and tried out the newest technology from the elite headphone brand. Check the link below for photos and remember to support your local record store on this special day and the weeks in between.

Felicia Day inspires me.
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking it's the geek girl thing. But, it's not. I mean, okay, she's a geek babe and that's awesome -- but it's not the geek girl in me she inspires.
It's the once struggling actress who gave up and went and got herself a "real job".
By way of history, allow me to explain. I know how the industry works from a lot of different perspectives. I've been an actress, agency assistant, casting assistant, and agent. I've also produced and directed small indy films, as well as doing pretty much every job possible in a theater co-op.
Most actors go about the business in much the same way. Get an agent, get a manager, get pictures, try and get auditions. Take class, work whatever job you can for a flexible schedule and then do whatever you can in that "3 minutes in the room" during an audition to "get the job"
Not Felicia Day.
In a business where most people wait and see, Felicia's out there creating her own work. Instead of waiting for "pilot season" and hoping to get a series, she created "The Guild". She's created a web presence and a Twitter following by getting out and talking to people. By promoting herself and the people she works with.
Syfy announced today that she'll be starring as a werewolf-hunting descendant of Little Red Riding Hood in the new Syfy Saturday Original Movie, Red. (thanks @kiala for the tip)
Starring. That's big, people. On cable or not. Starring is big. I means you have a name in the industry.
She's made that name for herself.
Literally. Ask yourself how you know who Felicia Day is and I'll bet, if you track it back, it's due to something she did.
No one's handed her anything and she doesn't take any of it for granted.
And, through it all, she's managed to be a pretty down to earth and accessible person.
Dang it. Felicia. Do you have any idea how irritated I am at you right now? ::grin:: I hate getting misty eyed!

I've been a little busy lately with getting signed up for classes, working two shifts at my job and taking a summer course so I don't have to take English at Tech. That's why I haven't been commenting or posting as much the last 2 or 3 weeks. I really like the Derrick Dixon pick up by the Raiders last week, since he's a player maker and I kinda have a thing for secondary guys. If I could be any player football I would be a DB (probably a CB). Also interested in this Ivan Thomas kid, not on the tall size, but has power and speed which is always valuable. His upside to good, but you never know how this stuff works out.
My favorite player, other than Tom Brady, recently got arrested and is a suspect in a murder case. He was a trouble maker at Flordia and I guess never let go of his past. Things really started to escalate once the Patriots gave him 40 million dollars. Obviously he won't be able to live up to his contract. Looks like former Red Raider Danny Amendola is going to really have to pick it up for my team this year.
My final thought is about this recruiting class and even though we are ranked in the Top 25 in every major recruiting website, I wouldn't expect them to stay there. A lot of their recruits are 3 stars and the teams below them just don't have the same number of recruits as Tech, and if they keep up their recruiting pace, will pass Tech. However, some high stars that are considering Tech won't decide til later (*cough* KD Cannon), so we might stay up to this rank.

News: UPDATE: J-Boog's Rep & Lil Fizz Explain Domestic Violence Arrest
Wednesday, Jan 6, 2010 10:20AM
Damuer Leffridge, a representative for J-Boog, has spoken out about the former B2K member's arrest for domestic violence this week.
Leffridge, who is chief of operations of Boog's Popular Records, said no violence took place.
"Me and Boog are like four or five streets apart," Leffridge said in an interview. "We're like the only black dudes in the neighborhood, amongst a lot of wealthy Caucasian people. And they don't want to hear all that loud music and stuff. Jarell and them, they keep up a lot of noise -- this just the truth. And when him and her were screaming on each other on a Sunday afternoon, talking crazy, one of the neighbors decided to call the police. The reality is, the police came and they couldn't get in the security gate. So they chose to jump the gate. Boog doesn't always pay attention to the buzzer, so he doesn't know when people are outside sometimes. So police was outside for a while trying to get his attention. The police said that if [Boog and his girlfriend] hadn't been so hostile they would have let them stayed, but because they were both screaming they chose to break them up and take him instead of taking her." (VIBE)
Fomer B2K member Lil Fizz revealed how the singer's girlfriend reacted after the arrest.
"His girl called me after the incident happened, and she didn't know what to do," Fizz added. "She didn't even know where the phone call to the police came from. So she was like, 'Can you get over here ASAP, they just took him, they just arrested him, we just had an argument. I don't know what happened. They trying to say it was domestic violence but he didn't put any hands on me or anything.'" (VIBE)
Reports of the arrest spread online Monday (January 4) evening.
J-Boog from B2K -- aka Jarell Damonte Houston -- was arrested for domestic violence at his L.A. home yesterday -- TMZ has learned. Law enforcement sources tell us Boog was arrested late afternoon for "corporal punishment on a spouse" as well as for outstanding warrants relating to an allegedly bad driving record. (TMZ)
Speculation suggested the victim was his child's mother.
When the police were called, the showed up 6 or 7 squad cars deep. J-Boog isn't known to be seeing anyone besides the mother of his child, so we assume this is the women in question. WOW, First Teddy Riley, now this... 2010 must be the year that R&B dudes get their BEATDOWN on.... (Dime Wars)
No further details have been released as of now.

I have decided to creating my own personal segment on Denver Stiffs (even though this will most likely be the only time I ever do it). I just had a few things I felt needed to be said about the Spurs game.
1. I am extremely impressed and proud of the fact that Arron,Ty & even Nene shined and didn't back down from the chance to play the NBA-best Spurs (21-4!!!!!) on national TV. They all had good games especially AAA who made big shots, got some great rebounds (in the first half) and passed really well.
2. Tonight it was easy for me to see that Melo still loves playing for this team and loves being an underdog-type superstar. Even if he isn't sure about it right now, he loves playing in Denver and he loves being a Nugget (Every time we play the Lakers that feeling is definitely in full effect).
3. This game was easily one of the most positive games of the Nuggets season so far even though it was a "loss".
4. Expect this game to set the Nuggets on fire, the confidence they should get from it and the will to win (and win with a statement) should rise from here on in, and just wait til the Nuggets play in SA next week.
5. Someone to expect to heat up from this game forward (and especially against the Spurs next week) is Gary Forbes, he felt personally responsible for the loss (@GForbz3: Tough loss tonight. Feel like I let my team down tonight wit some critical plays... Never will that happen again...). Knowing his confident nature and explosive scoring ability, watch out for him in the next week.
By The Way, anyone who hasn't seen Combat Chuk's video FanShot of Melo react to the news about the Nets, go watch it now. I think it's time to tell him that it's either Knicks with no money or Nuggets with millions (especially due to the fact that he has said how important signing the extension is).

Sick and tired of Obama team not fact-checking Headlines they write for @Buzzfeed articles.. bit.ly/SJOw2o cc: @jpodhoretz #tcot #p2—
el SOOPer (@SooperMexican) October 09, 2012
Pressure from Commentary magazine's John Podhoretz and others forced the correction of a BuzzFeed headline which claimed a "testy" vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan had "walked out" of an interview with a local reporter — but only after the Obama campaign had jumped at the chance to spin the story their own way, "amplifying" a few details along the way.

@jpodhoretz @BuzzFeedAndrew agreed — it was Ryan's staffer and not Ryan who ended the interview.—
Daniel Drezner (@dandrezner) October 08, 2012
Ryan's spokesman, Brendan Buck, told BuzzFeed that the reporter had already gone over his allotted time "when he decided to ask a weird question relating gun violence to tax cuts. Ryan responded as anyone would in such a strange situation. When you do nearly 200 interviews in a couple months, eventually you're going to see a local reporter embarrass himself."

Jay Caruso (@jaycaruso) October 08, 2012
@jaycaruso @buzzfeedandrew @buzzfeedben @cuffymeh @jpodhoretz Because it makes a better headline for Reddit & Tumblr users to pass on.—
di butler (@dibutler) October 08, 2012
Come on, @buzzfeedben and @buzzfeedandrew. Headline is still inaccurate. I apologized for my poor behavior. Now do the right thing.—
John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) October 08, 2012
@jpodhoretz @BuzzFeedAndrew Ryan says "thank you" and removes mic, mid-q. Can't we to back to fighting over interesting stuff?—
Ben Smith (@BuzzFeedBen) October 08, 2012
Whether or not a headline change is "interesting stuff" is up for debate, but Podhoretz' point about false memes getting started is dead on. The president's team wasted no time making sure the original headline was spread far and wide.
1. Write false headline. 2. Tweet false headline 3. False headline gets RT'd, reddited, etc. 4. Fix headline when caught 5. Tweets remain.—

For now, the BuzzFeed headline has settled on "Paul Ryan Gets Testy And Ends Interview." No rush from Team Obama to correct the record, though. Weird, huh?

Paranormal Activity 4 Goes Big With IMAX Release
By Kristy Puchko on October 09, 2012
This October marks the fourth year in a row that Paramount Pictures has terrorized audiences with a new entry in their wildly successful found footage franchise Paranormal Activity. Already the series that focuses on the demonic exploits that plague one doomed family has earned more than $575 million worldwide. To be sure their latest installment, Paranormal Activity 4, scores with audiences, Paramount brought back Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (of Catfish fame/infamy), the cheered co-helmers of the surprisingly sharp prequel Paranormal Activity 3, to continue to grow the world of these freaky films. But to give their box office ...

The Bottom Line
There is a quite compelling simplicity in Katy Perry's third single from the album Teenage Dream. "Firework" is a straightforward, economical self-esteem anthem. The song wastes no time in getting to the point and gives razor sharp focus to its message. As a result, it is a perfect pop record being catchy, highly melodic and designed to make every listener feel good. Effervescent pop singles rarely get better than this.
- Simple, powerful, inspirational words
- Katy Perry's unadorned voice
- Catchy melody with a danceable beat
- No significant negatives
- Written by Katy Perry, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, and Ester Dean
- Produced by Stargate, and Sandy Vee
- Released November 2010 by Capitol Records
Guide Review - Katy Perry - "Firework"
According to Katy Perry speaking about the inspiration for "Firework," her then fiance Russell Brand showed her passages from Jack Kerouac's classic On the Road that spoke about liking people who are buzzing, fizzing, full of life and never say anything commonplace. They shoot across the sky like a firework. The quote from Jack Kerouac is as follows:
"But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
"Firework" may certainly lack the eloquence of a brilliant prose writer, but it does generate its own point that anyone could be like Jack Kerouac's "yellow roman candles" if they open the doors to let themselves express what is inside. Dance-oriented producers Sandy Vee and Stargate add an oomph to the beat that will make the song sound powerful in clubs. The lack of adornment to Katy Perry's voice here adds to the simple message of the glow within every individual person.
Katy Perry has emerged this year as one of the top female artists in pop music around the world. The first two singles from Teenage Dream have both gone to #1, and "Firework" may follow them there. Her unique personality adds to the authenticity of this potent slice of inspiration for anyone who might consider themselves ordinary. Time for you to "shoot across the sky."

Roanoke City Public Schools is in the early phases of developing a new strategic plan.
The school system does this every five years.
Planning will kick into high gear this summer and the plan is expected to be finished before the end of the year.
One thing the district plans to do during the planning process is evaluate what progress was made on the last plan and what can still be improved.
One of the big goals of the last plan was to get graduation rates up and that's something the district achieved.
The graduation rate in 2010 was 67.7%.
The graduation rate in 2013 was up to 80.35%.
Superintendent Rita Bishop says she is happy to see the rate increase, but it's something she wants to see increase further.
Another big focus of the 2009-2014 plan was to create more partnerships with local groups like the City and Virginia Western Community College.
That's something Bishop says has changed immensely in the last five years.
To be a successful district, Bishop says, "You must have those partnerships and so everyday we work on those partnerships. We are constantly talking about who the new partners are."
One goal that was not met from the last plan was to be fully accredited all five years. Bishop anticipates the district will continue that as a focus for the next five years.
There are some new issues that Bishop hopes to see tackled in the new plan.
One is putting technology in the hands of students.
A concern for the district right now is preparing students to take standardized tests online.
Since some students have limited access to technology, Bishop hopes the school district can provide more opportunities for them to use it in the future.
She would also like to see the summer enrichment program be part of the next plan.

Last time I checked, economic research was not an NCAA sport, but nonetheless here's some good news from that field.
Three-time UCLA graduate Elinor Ostrom, along with UC Berkeley professor Oliver Williamson, has been awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Economics. Professor Ostrom's most famous works (if econ professors' articles are ever famous) address the management natural resources such as commonly held property. She graduated from UCLA with a BA, an MA, and a PhD in Political Science.
UCLA graduate William Sharpe won the Nobel Prize in 1990. To my knowledge, five UCLA professors and another five UCLA alumni have received Nobel Prizes.
Maybe we should hang Nobel banners in Pauley to remind TV viewers that UCLA isn't just a basketball school! : )
