INA — Rend Lake College will be hosting its Visiting Artist Series, highlighting the work of Wheat Elder.
The exhibit is slated to be in the Theater Lobby from Jan. 17 through Feb. 28.
Elder, a resident of Salem, works with oil paintings, predominantly.
"I love to paint," Elder said. "I've been oil painting for 18 years, using the alla prima, or wet-in-wet method, and am self-taught."
Elder said she finds inspiration for her art in her baby daughter and everyday things.
"The texture of a pumpkin, the play of light on a cream pitcher, a feeling of home, things that are often overlooked in the busyness of the day," Elder said. "I try to capture
and appreciate the gentle beauty of common things."
Rend Lake College is one of the most recent to exhibit her work, as she has been in juried shows nationally and internationally, such as in London, England and New York. She is a member of the Illinois Artisans Program and serves as an officer on the board of administrative counselors at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts.
"I teach a small painting class twice a month near my home and have taught for the Illinois Artisans Program workshops and Cedarhurst Center for the Arts," Elder said. "My paintings reside with customers all over the nation, and I had the honor of being commissioned to do a painting for the late Sen. Thomas Eagleton shortly before he passed away. My goal as a painter is to evoke feelings of peace, comfort and rest. I want my work to be a small piece of all those things that make home a refuge."

Tablas Creek Vineyard Review
Tucked in the western hills of Paso Robles, Tablas Creek is known for its blends of organically grown, hand-harvested Rhône varietals. Roussanne and Viognier are the two standout whites; the Mourvèdre-heavy blend called Panoplie (it also includes Grenache and Syrah) has received high praise in recent years. There's a fine picnic area here.

Police responded to a crash involving an ambulance in Saginaw Township on Monday afternoon.
Saginaw County 911 paged out that an MMR ambulance was involved in the accident around 4 p.m. A viewer called to state that the MMR vehicle was running through traffic lights at State Street and Center Road when it was struck.
Later, police at the scene told TV5 the driver of a black Pontiac Grand Prix slammed into the ambulance while it was going to an emergency call.
The force of the crash was such that the ambulance was flipped onto its side. Another viewer said the driver of the ambulance was able to get out of the rig. The driver of the car suffered minor injuries and is expected to fully recover.
State Street and Center were closed at that intersection for a short time while the scene was cleared. The intersection has since reopened.

Don't worry about the Devils' finances; Vanderbeek expects profit
With not a whole lot going on today with the team not practicing, Rich Chere of the Star Ledger has got word from owner Jeff Vanderbeek about the team's literal fortunes. While I don't like the pessimistic slant of the article, though it's understandable given the economy's slide in the past few months, it's reassuring to read a quote from the owner that things are fine for our favorite hockey team. It's also a good comeback to the critics who complain about attendance at the Rock, especially from fans of inferior teams. The team's making money and doing well, that what it comes down to, really.

Vote Alert
NTU urges all Representatives to vote "YES" on the following Amendments to H.R. 5856, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2013.
July 19, 2012
As the House considers H.R. 5856, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2013, NTU urges all Representatives to vote to reduce our unmanageable deficit by tackling Pentagon inflated spending.
Defense expenditures are at historically high levels even as there are fewer draws on the Treasury to fund war operations overseas and we face unprecedented fiscal challenges at home. As it stands, H.R. 5856 appropriates $3.1 billion more than was even requested by military leaders. This is not the sort of aggressive effort to root out waste that taxpayers expected after the last election.
Any Member that is serious about fiscal responsibility should strongly support addressing inefficient, unnecessary, and duplicative defense programs. In 2011, NTU crossed ideological lines to join with the U.S. Public Interest Research group to submit deficit reduction recommendations to the Supercommittee and identified nearly $450 billion in outdated and wasteful military outlays. To that end, we urge you to support the following amendments:
NTU is calling on Representatives to publicly support fundamentally reforming the Pentagon. Roll call votes on the aforementioned amendments and any others that trim spending or enact structural reforms will be included in our annual Rating of Congress.
If you have any questions, please contact NTU Federal Affairs Manager Nan Swift at 703-683-5700

Not only are patients wondering what to do next, but other valley residents say they fear the exposure problem may spread beyond those treated at the Endoscopy Center. This situation understandably has everyone worried.
One of the fears right now is that some of the patients possibly exposed say they donated blood and are worried blood recipients are also at risk.
Health District Sets Up Hotline in Hepatitis C Scare
Sleepless nights and worry-filled days are what Cheryl Henderson now faces after learning she could have been exposed to Hepatitis C, B or HIV. Now, she's trying to find out for sure at the Southern Nevada Health District but that too is proving to be hard.
"They are not going to do testing here. I need to go to my primary doctor," she said.
It's frustrating news layered on top of already scary news. "This is just another added expense that I don't think I should have to pay for," said Henderson.
But many are questioning how far this problem reaches. Some of the patients possibly exposed to the disease say they donated blood and are now worried blood recipients are also at risk.
In the midst of so much scary news -- some relief.
"Blood is never released from UBS unless it has completed the testing process," said Amy Hutch of United Blood Services. UBS says whether it is your first time donating or you're a regular, all blood is tested before it moves on to hospitals.
If your blood does test positive, UBS gets rid of it.
"There are always positive tests from time to time but it is very rare and we do notify the donor immediately of that," said Hutch.
UBS says even though they do sometimes get positive blood tests, they don't know if it's linked to recent exposure. But for patients like Cheryl Henderson, the frustrations are mounting, knowing the Endoscopy Center that's causing this frustration remains open for business.
"That's what amazes me. They're still open and I have to go back in August for another one because that is the only place my wonderful insurance will let me go to," said Henderson.
United Blood Services says even though they do test their blood before it is sent out, they are not a diagnostic center and you cannot go to their offices for a blood test.
The Southern Nevada Health District has information available on their website regarding the investigation and a hotline has also been set up.
Southern Nevada Health District Hotline is (702)759-4636 (INFO)

Anyone who has made caramel knows its sweetness really comes through when you add a little salt. The same is true of "Caramel," a romantic comedy whose humor is richer because it's balanced with a few tears.
Like the French "Venus Beauty Institute," the Lebanese "Caramel" is a comedy set in a beauty shop that needs men like a fish needs a bicycle. The employees and customers give each other manicures and bikini waxes (the titular sweet stuff is used for body waxing, not snacking) while chatting about their romantic woes.
There's not much for plot in the Beirut-set "Caramel," but it more than compensates with appealing characters and smart, subtle filmmaking. Director Nadine Labaki crafts a delicate, Chaplinesque scene in which a woman (played by Labaki) talks on the phone with her lover, while outside the beauty shop, a policeman who worships her from afar imagines he's on the other end of the telephone. And Labaki connects the women's divergent stories with witty transitions, like an edit that takes us from a surgeon stitching up one woman to another character stitching at her sewing machine.
A quiet, graceful film, "Caramel" has a realistic sense of how difficult and precious love is. Most of the women get a shot at it during "Caramel," but at least one of them blows it big time. By the end, it's not clear if any of their romantic possibilities will pan out, but the last shot tells us that even if they don't find men (or women) to make them happy, they can rely on each other: The final image shows the women, in a variety of moods, walking away from the camera and holding each other's hands.
Directed by: Nadine Labaki
Starring: Labaki
Should you go? Yup. It's smart, funny and, of course, sweet. ***

FORE Goes Beyond CAT Score
Applications for the Common Admission Test (CAT) increased this year, and while candidates from engineering continue to dominate (about 67 per cent of the applicants), their percentage has declined.
Applications for the Common Admission Test (CAT) increased this year, and while candidates from engineering continue to dominate (about 67 per cent of the applicants), their percentage has declined, paving the way for more candidates with agriculture and architecture backgrounds. However, the number of candidates from humanities has dropped slightly. About 17,000 applicants had two to three years' work experience, reflecting a trend of more working professionals seeking management degrees for career growth and development.
There is a need for a wider-based talent pool and premier B-schools are now planning changes in the CAT to ensure a broad-based representation. The CAT score is not the only indicator of managerial potential and it does not capture many significant aspects. In many cases, candidates with a low CAT score have shown exceptional managerial potential during personal interviews. Recruiters hardly look at the CAT score in making their selections and while a high CAT score ensures entry into top-line business schools and IIMs, it does not necessarily measure academic worth. Top-line B-schools often give more weight to skills such as analytical reasoning, decision-making, problem-solving, creativity, communications and other positive attributes.
FORE School Of Management
, we take into consideration abilities which are essentially not captured in a CAT type of examination, such as leadership abilities, communication skills, creativity and responsiveness to the environment. As a result, candidates who are strong in these areas have a better chance of being selected. FORE tries to make its selection process more comprehensive and balanced. The weight given to a student's CAT score is only 40 per cent, while 60 per cent is distributed between academic performance, work experience, communication skills and other personal attributes.
FORE strongly believes that students with a non-engineering background have immense potential for management positions and ensures that a fair opportunity is provided to all potential candidates to prove their merit. The admission policy of FORE encourages diversity in terms of place of residence, gender, academic background and work experience, with FORE taking students from different regions of the country and various streams.
Last year, FORE received applications from 26 Indian states and the batch finally selected was 29 per cent female - a much higher ratio than some of the IIMs possess. FORE has students with backgrounds in science and humanities, medical sciences and the armed forces, making it different from other B-schools in terms of seeking talent in a more scientific manner and ensuring that candidates with the right aptitude are selected and groomed as future managers.

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) - A Wenatchee woman suffered bite wounds to an arm and other parts of her body in an attack by a pit bull dog in her home.
Police say the dog belonged to a member of her household and was in the basement Wednesday when she went to check on it and was attacked.
The Wenatchee World reports (http://bit.ly/WxoNIo) officers with the Wenatchee Valley Human Society asked police for help. The dog was stunned with a Taser and then killed because it was so aggressive.
The 43-year-old woman is in satisfactory condition Thursday at Central Washington Hospital.

San Jacinto civic leaders are celebrating another milestone with a regional transportation commission approving $5.5 million toward the $10 million widening of the Ramona Expressway on the north side of the city.
The Riverside County Transportation Commission action Wednesday, Sept. 12, means that the city has been able to tap regional transportation and gas tax funds and some local development fees to cover the cost, without dipping into the city's general fund.
This segment between Sanderson Avenue and Eagle Road, just east of State Street, is the second of three phases for which planning dates back probably about a decade.
Construction started in 2007 on the first phase between Warren Road and Sanderson to widen the road from two to four lanes. This next phase will widen the expressway from two or four lanes to six lanes.
The third phase east of Eagle Road has no identified funding, but would widen the expressway to four lanes all the way to Lake Park Drive.
Part of this phase will replace the fractured rough asphalt eastbound near Jack in the Box and Chevron at State Street.

So this is a quick review with thoughts from the game, more complete review later. As always feel free to add your own thoughts.
- The referees continue to make incredibly poor calls. Not just against the Red Bulls but against opposing teams as well. It started with the "elbow" against New England and continued today with the "offsides" call for on the owngoal. The referees shouldn't be dictating the game and recently they have. I know that Hans Backe has already stated that there is problems with the officials. When a long time european coach gives his opinions that there are problems, it may be wise to investigate.
- The goal by Stammler was a thing of beauty. It was a rocket and I hope to see more of the same in the future. I'm happy to see that Hans is begining to give playing time to Stammler and Mendes as well as Wully.
- Bouna Coundoul showed why he's the starter. He had a great game and was able to prevent the Chivas offense from converting on some very good looks. The defense also played a great part in this prevention.
- The field work was amazing at points. The movement of the ball was incredible and I like this improvement. The team is playing small ball as well and greating fast break opportunities. The fact we didn't convert on them is a problem, but at least we're creating the looks.
- Lastly, the announced attendance was over 18,000. The team seems to have fallen back into padding the numbers with youth soccer clubs who receive group rates. I hope one day the team can consistently achieve these sort of numbers without doing this.

Home surveillance systems are becoming more popular and one of them worked well for a Cumberland County man.
He caught two women on tape breaking into his home in North Middleton Township. One woman crawled through a window while the other kept watch outside. They did not know the owner was inside. When confronted, the woman ran out, arms flailing. They also did not know the owner installed security cameras that caught it all on tape.
The surveillance video is very clear and helped police get some great leads.
ABC27 talked to an expert about what kinds of surveillance systems are available.
"Cameras have come a long way from what they used to be. They are gaining popularity," said Robert Patterson, sales consultant at Shearer Security Devices on Derry Street.
The store has a wide range of surveillance systems. They range from standard definition to high definition. Many come with convenient features.
"Most systems right now if you have a high speed Internet at your home you can actually set it up so that you can remote view your camera system from where you're at," Patterson said. "Allowing for the case if you see something odd you may be able to catch a crime sooner rather than later."
There are also cameras that can tilt, pan around, and zoom in and out.
A decent surveillance system will run you at least $2,800. The cheapest system will only cost about $450, but you sacrifice quality.
"I'm sure people have seen a million times on the news hey we're looking for this particular individual can anyone help ID this person. You can't actually tell if it's a man or a woman what color of clothing they have on," Patterson said.
Many security companies, like Shearers, will come out and do a free consultation and tell you which system is best for your home or business.

Lake Tahoe South East Shore NV Travel Tips
Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals on the Southeast Shore Make the Ideal Vacation Destinations
The lakeside beauty of Lake Tahoe is legendary and has been drawing visitors for decades. Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America and its crystal clear blue waters and surrounding snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains are picture-perfect. Set 6,229 feet above sea level and measuring 22 miles long and 12 miles wide, it offers plenty of activities all year long. The California/Nevada border runs down the center of the lake and is mainly of significance as all the casinos are on the Nevada side of the lake, located close to the border at Southeast Shore.
Lake Tahoe is a popular bolthole from the big cities with wealthy Californians who want to ski in the winter and escape the heat in the summer. South Shore has plenty of shops and theaters as well as a great choice of restaurants, wine bars and casinos.
What to Expect in the Changing Seasons at Lake Tahoe Cabins
Lake Tahoe has warm sunny summers with very little rainfall. Spring and fall are beautiful seasons with plenty of natural colors. The winter is cold with temperatures barely rising above freezing during the day and guaranteed snowfall from late November through March.
Places to Visit Around Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals
The nearest city to Lake Tahoe is Carson City, through the mountain pass, a 30-minute drive away. The lakeshore is scattered with small boating communities and resorts which make for great days out. Head for Emerald Bay and see the striking Swedish-style home known as Vikingsholm and Fannette Island, the lake's only island. Kings Beach, Tahoe City, Crystal Bay and Incline Village are just some of the places to head for around the lake.
Further afield, the old silver mining town of Virginia City is a delightfully authentic town with boardwalks along the street and a host of bars, souvenir shops, fine mansions and attractions
Lake Tahoe Lodging Provides a Host of Fun Things to Do
The high season in Lake Tahoe is during the winter months when there is world-class skiing in this scenic area. There are hundreds of ski runs and numerous resorts offering alpine and cross country skiing, tobogganing, snowmobiling, sleigh rides and other winter sports.
In the summer, there is a vast network of mountain trails for hikers and mountain bikers. Sailing, fishing and paddleboating can all be enjoyed in the summer months and kayaking in the green waters of Emerald Bay is particularly lovely. Cruises are available up and down the lake and the US Dixie Paddlewheeler makes a traditional sight on the water. Golf and tennis are widely available. The mountains are also the ideal place for paragliding, climbing, abseiling and other exciting sports.
Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals Are Better than Hotels in Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is not a cheap place to stay but there are plenty villas and apartments scattered along the lakeshore. These offer far more comfort and space for a family than the cramped hotel rooms offered in the town center. Set amidst peaceful pine forests with superb lake views, they offer the peace and tranquility which most visitors to Lake Tahoe are looking for. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare snacks and meals for the family, and picnics can be packed and taken to the beach or on mountain hikes. Lake Tahoe cabins offer a cozy place to return to after a day on the slopes, with a warm fireplace and somewhere to dry wet outdoor gear.
How to Reach Your Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals on the Southeast Shore
The nearest commercial airport to Lake Tahoe is the Reno-Tahoe International Airport which is 41 miles away in Nevada. On the California side of the lake, there are three airports: Trukee-Tahoe Airport, Lake Tahoe Airport and Sacramento International Airport which is about a two-hour drive from the lake. Shuttle buses frequently run between Reno Airport and the Southeast Shore, and there are plenty of local buses and taxis serving the area.

His first single, "Verdammt, ich lieb dich" ("Damn, I love you,") was released in 1990. It sold 2.5 million copies and was at top of the charts in Germany for 16 weeks. No single had remained longer at this position permanently since 1971. Matthias Reim shared this distinction with Boney M. His first album "Reim" was released soon thereafter. By 1999, another nine albums had been released by the "Polydor" label.

Bradley senior guard Andrew Warren (Indianapolis, Ind./Brebeuf Jesuit Prep) scored a game-high 20 points, but it was not enough to prevent Indiana State (6-6, 1-0 MVC) from riding a fast start to an 80-66 win in the Missouri Valley Conference opener for both teams Wednesday night at the Hulman Center.
Aaron Carter, who came into the game averaging just 4.3 points per game and was a last-minute addition to the starting lineup for the injured Jake Kelly, scored 11 of Indiana State's first 15 points and finished with a team-high 19. Dwayne Lathan added 18 points, while reserves Steve McWhorter and RJ Mahurin each chipped in with 10 for the Sycamores. Bradley center Will Egolf scored a season-high 14 points for the Braves (6-6, 0-1 MVC) and Dyricus Simms-Edwards also scored a season-best with 13 off the bench. Bradley sophomore wing Jake Eastman pulled down a career-best nine rebounds to lead all players.
Carter gave the Sycamores the lead for good, 8-5, by draining his second 3-pointer with 16:39 left in the first half. Early Bradley turnovers allowed Indiana State to gain some separation, but a Jordan Prosser bucket with 8:08 left in the first half pulled the Braves to within 22-17.
After making eight of its first 16 field goal attempts, though, Bradley missed nine of its final 11 shots of the half. Indiana State took advantage by outscoring the Braves 17-3 in the final 6:58 of the period for a 39-22 lead at the break.
Bradley made several runs at the hosts in the second half, closing to within 58-50 after two Egolf free throws with 5:16 left. The Braves were down by the same score and with possession when Indiana State Jake Odum stole a pass on the wing and went in for a layup to push the lead back to 10, 60-50, with 4:29 left. The Braves did not get the deficit back to single digits until less than a minute remained and the Sycamores made enough free throws down the stretch to prevent a complete Bradley rally.
After failing to attempt a free throw in the first half, Bradley made its first 16 attempts of the second half, including seven by Warren, before Walt Lemon Jr. missed two attempts with 5.7 seconds remaining. Warren stretched his streak of consecutive made free throws to 32, the fourth-longest streak in Bradley Basketball history.

Team Treefort!
Only two months until the third installment of Treefort Music Fest is upon us! Plenty of planning and announcing yet to do, but today we celebrate the release of the 2nd wave of artists for this year's festival. Feast your hungry eyes and ears upon the very full announce below. There has been incredible interest in being a part of Treefort this year and decisions have been particularly challenging.
Thank you to everyone that has reached out and submitted their talents for potential participation in this year's festival. We will be replying to all of you soon — don't fret as there are still a lot of spots that we haven't filled yet. In the meantime, get to know this big batch of immense talent coming to Boise this Spring and get fired up for another action packed Treefort season.
If you're anywhere close to Boise, we hope to see you tonight at El Korah Shrine as we gather for our annual Launch Party to further wet our appetites for the shared experiences ahead.

This 2nd installment of the video series debuted at the Launch Party! Luckily you can now find it here:
And now, without further anticipation, here it is, your…..
2nd Artist Announcement for Treefort Music Fest 2014
((( minneapolis, minnesota )))
POLIÇA began as a collaboration between fellow Gayngs' members Channy Casselle and Ryan Olson in June of 2011.
By July they had completed 11 songs, made the key additions of drummers Ben Ivascu and Drew Christopherson, bass player Chris Bierdan, and headed into the studio. After Mike Noyce (Bon Iver) lent his voice on Lay Your Cards Out and Wandering Star, the record was brought to Austin, TX to be mixed with Jim Eno (Spoon). In a few days, the LP was completed and the band Poliça was formed. On stage, the original beats composed by Olson play amongst Channy's passionate vocals & an intense rhythm section, that lead to a description somewhere in the area of electro-r&b goth-pop. /// This band has been one that team Treefort has been collectively wanting to grace one of our stages from the beginning. We are incredibly excited that that will finally happen this year as Poliça will come to Boise for the first time to play the Treefort Main Stage on Sunday March 23rd alongside The Joy Formidable and others.

A producer and DJ from Columbus, Ohio, RJD2 is undoubtedly one of the most hyped beatmakers in independent hip-hop today. He got his start making tracks for the MHZ crew (Copywrite, Camu Tao, Tage Proto), then worked his way up with a series of singles and mix tapes before unleashing his critically-acclaimed debut LP, Dead Ringer, on the uber-hip Def Jux label in 2002. Loaded with moody samples, dusty drum breaks, dialogue clips, and pieces of vintage soul jams, the mostly instrumental Dead Ringer elicited rave reviews from a wide variety of listeners, and was bound for many critic's "best of 2002″ lists. In a genre filled with ambient spacemen and droning techno fromage, Rjd2 brought a sense of song structure and vitality that was sorely missing, harkening back to a time when instrumental groups like Booker T. and the MG s got radio play (no joke). And the accolades rolled in. From industry luminaries like Chris Blackwell, to members of Radiohead and The Strokes, to ?uestlove of The Roots (who nominated Dead Ringer for the prestigious Short List awards in 2003), to DJ Shadow, Rj soon became a favorite of those in-the-know.

After Dan Deacon's transcendent Main Stage performance and wild Linen Building DJ set to close out Treefort 2013, we couldn't imagine not bringing him back again this year. As his DJ set came to a frenzied, Bohemian Rhapsodied, crowd-surfed shout-a-long peak, he perfectly captured the essence of Treefort with an inspired monologue about the importance of not moving to a bigger city, but rather to make the town you live in what you want it to be. The understanding reached between him and our community in the span of a mere evening was truly moving and I could not have asked for a better way to bring the second Treefort Music Fest to a close. Thus, we have invited him back to help kick the third edition of Treefort Music Fest off at El Korah Shrine on Thursday, March 20th. This year, in addition to performing, he will also be taking part in the new tech-orientated component of the festival — Hackfort, which you will hear more about soon. Also, you may want to download Dan Deacon's app if you haven't already.

Universally hailed as a thrilling new figure in music for his edgy, lo-fi debut back in 2002, The Headphone Masterpiece, Cody ChesnuTT is a soul troubadour whose frank, socially conscious ruminations on life continue to challenge popular notions of what modern soul music can look and sound like. /// "If you combined equal parts James Brown and Otis Redding, a splash of Hendrix and a dash of old time swagger, you might come close to figuring out just what Cody ChesnuTT is made of. In his own way, he's found out how to blend hip-hop beats, soulful jazz stylings, silky smooth vocals and a sprinkling of Motown showmanship into a performance that feels almost… nostalgic. Cody's pure love for the show and the art of the song truly comes from his heart, bursting at the seams with passion and care." — Spinning Platters
((( bay area, california )))
Iamsu!, the 23-year-old producer and rapper with a mop afro and playful laugh, enjoys the challenge of bridging two worlds. Known both for his grounded storytelling and command of West Coast party music's slapping palette, he's a thoughtful introvert and high-energy leader all in one. Along with his crew HBK Gang, he's offering listeners a new brand of positive, pro-individuality rap that might be mistaken for preachy if it weren't so fun. /// "Richmond rapper-producer Iamsu! was a shoo-in for SPIN's Real Hottest MCs list earlier this year. The young star has been steadily bridging Bay Area ghetto-flamboyance to laid-back Los Angeles vibes with an emphasis on all things ratchet (or trap, if you prefer)." — Spin, June 2013
((( brooklyn, new york )))
Tony Simon, a/k/a Blockhead, has been making and releasing utterly distinctive, funky and emotive music for 15 years. Blockhead grew up in downtown New York City. As the son of an artist, surrounded by visual culture, he early on found that his passion was for music, for the sonic. A fan of a whole range of sounds, especially hip-hop, Blockhead steadily built a tremendous collection of tapes and later CDs from innumerable artists, a quiet accumulation of knowledge and know-how. After a brief stint as a rapper, he realized his calling was behind the boards and not on the mic – and from there he began to produce beats. Since making that decision, he's kept pretty busy: carving a niche as a quality underground beatmaker that people call when they want something special. Very pleased to bring him to Boise for the first time for Treefort 2014.
((( austin/dallas, texas )))
"San Marcos, Texas' finest This Will Destroy You hate it when people call them "post-rock." They prefer "doomgaze." So do I, actually. The self-appointed term cleverly conjoins "doom metal" with "shoegaze," accurately depicting the brooding heaviness and gauzy melodicism that distinguish This Will Destroy You's music. TWDY also probably loathe comparisons to fellow Texans Explosions in the Sky, but damn it, similarities between the two bands do exist. Both groups favor lull-explode dynamics marked by placid passages that build to meaningful crescendos. Thankfully, TWDY imbue said dynamics with great poignancy. Bring earplugs, preferably wrapped in a hanky." DAVE SEGAL, Portland Mercury
((( san francisco, california )))
The DWARVES are Rock Legends. Birthed in the garage rock revival of the 1980's over 30 years ago they continue to confound and confront audiences all over America and the world with searing live shows and masterful new records.
Coming to prominence as one of Sub/Pop's first signings the DWARVES reputation for live madness earned the fear and loathing of grunge era crowds and the shock and awe of their peers. Between 1988-92 they performed live with many of the most popular bands of the era including Nirvana, Green Day and the Offspring to name just a few. The Dwarves will headline the WavePOP Showcase at The Shredder on Thursday, March 20th.

Justin Ringle is a native of Lewiston, Idaho. He attended the University of Idaho in Moscow in the early 2000s. During that time, he was part of a thriving underground rock scene centered around UofI college radio station KUOI 89.3 FM playing in formative bands Two Play Color, Echo Ave and others. Soon after moving to Portland, Ringle took his music in a new, more folk-driven, direction and brought Horse Feathers to life. In 2006, debut LP Words Are Dead was released by Lucky Madison Records. The following year, he signed with Kill Rock Stars. By early 2008 they released House with No Home, which became one of the highest-selling debuts in Kill Rock Stars' history. Horse Feathers have released a couple more records with KRS since and now are working on a fifth album. With the band's deep ties to Idaho, it's great to finally get them here for Treefort Music Fest this year.
((( portland, oregon )))
As 2013 came to an end, Sallie Ford and her longtime band The Sound Outside announced the end of their run working together, a relationship that started back in 2007 before Sallie and her music jumped from obscurity to touring with The Avett Brothers and regular headlining tours through Europe and Stateside that they've been sustaining the last several years. The boys of The Sound Outside have moved on, but Sallie wasted little time putting together a new all-girl band that now features Cristina Cano (Siren & the Sea & Albatross), Amanda Spring (Point Juncture, WA & more), Anita Lee Elliot (Viva Voce, Blue giant, Calico Rose & more). Treefort 2014 will be getting one of the first tastes of this new chapter in the Sallie Ford rock 'n' roll journey and we couldn't be more excited about it.
((( brooklyn, new york )))
"Brooklyn quartet Milagres caught our ear with their 2011 debut Glowing Mouth, a funked-up psych-pop set prone to flights of poetic fancy grounded due to singer Kyle Wilson's bedridden state at the time. But it is motion that informs their forthcoming album Violent Light, due via Kill Rock Stars on February 25, 2014 (February 24 via Memphis Industries abroad). The new LP takes its title and themes from Wilson's sojourns to New Mexico in order to visit with his grandfather, a scientist who worked on both the Manhattan Project and the hydrogen bomb. Their discussions about nuclear physics were set to the spiritual and elemental backdrop of the American Southwest." — SPIN

"For all of their affinity for murky, sludgy sounds, Pontiak roars away with remarkable precision, pulling off that men-as-machine ethos quite convincingly. Maybe it's a sibling thing?" – San Francisco Bay Guardian /// Pontiak is three brothers that grew up and live on farms in Virginia. Their lifelong closeness yields uncommon musical understanding, creative collaboration and personal camaraderie. Their singular combination of impressive work ethic and boundless creativity pays off on their new album INNOCENCE. From the explosive title track to the mellow groove of "Wildfires," these 11 songs are some of the most absorbing and melodic material the band has produced, without ever losing their signature heft. INNOCENCE will be released Jan 28, 2014 on Thrill Jockey Records.
((( berkeley, california )))
Berkeley, California based producer Thriftworks offers his own uniquely original take on forward thinking electronic music, weaving eclectic samples and explosive modern bass that continually pushes the envelope while taking the art of beat-crafting to new heights. Garnering much praise from fans and critics alike with his steady stream of new material, Thriftworks is quickly becoming known as one of the finest up and coming experimental producers with his outside the box sound and unclassifiable style. Thriftworks' use of deep low-end and wall to wall synths seem to channel something ancient and mysterious, offering up an intoxicating musical high with an invigorating breath of fresh air. These sounds activate the senses, enrapture the mind, move the body and leave audiences begging for more.
((( berlin, germany )))
Although Berlin based producer Robot Koch has an international reputation as being "One of Europe`s finest producers of the beat generation" (Low End Theory), he is much more than just a beatmaker… "(Post)-Dubstep infused Electronic HipHop" is far too constrained a label to understand what this producer is all about. Robot Koch is also the mastermind behind the critically acclaimed band Jahcoozi (BPitch Control), Robot Robinson with John Robinson and works as a producer and composer for both indie and major artists worldwide.
((( brooklyn, new york )))
Seducing the world via his own brand of dream-soaked pop and lushed out R&B, Antonio Cuna, aka Sweater Beats, is a force to be reckoned with. Since the release of his single "MLLN DLLR" on Bondax's Justus Recordings in 2012, Cuna has gathered support from Diplo, Annie Mac, Para One and more with his unique tracks and bootlegs. His skillful synth work and vocal manipulations translate bedroom music to the club, and his DJ sets are as diverse as they are emotional. Sweater Beats' debut EP for Symbols ("That Feel") sees Antonio ditching samples in favor of original vocalists, and the finished product is a glimpse of what R&B might sound like in the year 2020.
((( syracuse, new york )))
Perfect Pussy are one of the boldest and most intriguing projects to surface in recent years, garnering widespread critical acclaim following the release of a four song EP, titled I have lost all desire for feeling, in early 2013. Veiled beneath layers of exquisitely abrasive noise, frontwoman Meredith Graves' lyrics are disarming, brutally honest and poetic, possessing a feverish intensity that can only be matched by Graves' electric stage presence. Hailing from Syracuse, New York, the band is comprised of members from the local punk and hardcore community. Perfect Pussy recently signed with Captured Tracks, who will be releasing their debut LP Say Yes To Love on March 18th, just 5 days before they land in Boise for Treefort 2014.
((( boise, idaho )))
The story of TEENS has been fairly well entwined with the story of Treefort. The first Treefort Music Fest in 2012 was borne out of a period of the Boise music scene that brought a fresh wave of young artists out of the woodwork and on to the national spotlight to varying degrees, the most notable being Youth Lagoon, but also included the likes of Atomic Mama, Shades, Owlright, Wolvserpent, and others. The last two years, TEENS' Treefort sets at The Red Room have been legendarily wild, and according to legend, the venue narrowly escaped crumbling down upon their rocknroll steam train. Word is is that TEENS will play their final show for the foreseeable future at Treefort 2014. Brace yourselves.
((( zurich, switzerland )))
Disco Doom is the Zurich based band of Anita Rufer, Gabriele De Mario and Flo Goette. It's mainly two guitars, vocals and a bass playing with different drummers and with sometimes some keyboard. In the last years Disco Doom toured extensively throughout Europe and the United States opening for Built to Spill or touring on their own in the US and in Europe. Their new album Numerals will be released February 11th on Exploding in Sound Records in the US and February 7th on Defer Records in Switzerland/Europe, followed by a full US tour and appearances at SXSW, Treefort and other Stateside festivals. This new Disco Doom record is incredible and we feel very lucky to be hosting them at Treefort 2014 fresh off of its release.
((( portland, oregon )))
Duck. Little Brother, Duck! take the upside down genre of math rock and turn it on its head once again. The band made their entrance into the Portland scene with fifteen sprawling tracks in the spring of 2010. Survival Is Not A Workout is a smartly-crafted full-length that travels a rough terrain with tracks like 'L. Ron Hubbard (We Did One Of These At The Mall)' and 'Steve Jobs (All Is Fun Until Someone Gets Stabbed)'. The band followed this release up with their first cross-continental tour (with Girlfriends) that summer where they left audiences, at the very most, with mouths agape, and at the very least, confused.
Truly wish we could talk about each and every one of these artists in great detail, as we are excited about each and every one of them. We'll let their music do the talking though. Click on band names below and start diving into their worlds, get to know them and we will get you a schedule soon to start making your tough decisions. Happy hunting!

Physical Inventory & Store Planning for Apparel & Shoe Stores
Shoe and apparel stores, more than many other forms of retail, depend heavily on their associates to assist customers and finalize sales. Yet floor sales personnel engaged with customers must also keep an eye on the continuous need to keep shelves stocked and racks replenished.
It's no wonder that 25% of all out of stocks are:
just paces away in the backroom, collecting dust instead of dollars at the cash register
That's why RGIS provides physical inventory counts with market-leading accuracy, immediately identifying in-store out of stock instances while freeing high-value sales associates to serve buying customers.

making mobile checkout possible
enhancing loss prevention
providing merchandising insight to get the most out of every square foot
RGIS makes it easy and low-risk for global and national retailers to test a store first to see the benefits on a small scale before expanding RFID across stores and deeper into the supply chain.

Jungle Heat Hack v1.2.4 is released!
We had a hard time fixing bugs, but finally all the hard work paid off:
The Jungle Heat Hack version 1.2.4 is now available for download!
A quick introduction
I think you already know what Jungle Heat is, else you would not came up with our site. But if there's someone out there, who has never heard of this awesome game yet, here we go: Jungle Heat is a free-to-play military based game. Your mission is to fight yourself to the top of the players. To do so you have to build up your own jungle fortress by upgrading your command center, defenses, mines and the most important your army. By attacking other players you can even speed up earning gold and oil. Jungle Heat is listed on the Android Play Store, Apple App Store and soon also on Facebook!
Why should I need a Hack?
No one said, that you need to cheat diamonds, gold or oil. The game is fun to play without manipulating anything. But if you come to the point where you have to play all night long or where you need to buy diamonds to complete an upgrade, is pain in the… No it's actually not! Because you could try out our tool.
Jungle Heat Hack, how should this work?
We don't want to go to deep in this to keep the Hack undetected and not to lose our backdoor connection. But what we can say, is that one of our guys managed to exploit a loophole in the system. Using this loophole we were able to set up the connection to the database containing all of the secret data. SQL (Structured Query Language) databases are sorted in columns and rows. In this case the Jungle Heat IDs are in one column, the amount of diamonds in one, and so on. So the job of the Jungle Heat Hack is to watch out for your entered ID and to modify the value for example of the amount of gold to your desired number.
1327 Downloads
Compatible with all Windows Editions from Windows XP until Windows 8
Small Instructions
If you are skeptical on how to get and how to use this hack, please look at this small paragraph. First you need to download the files, to do that click the download button above. Everything is compressed inside a Zip-Archiv, just extract it to any location, it doesn't matter where. After that run the hack tool, enter your game ID and select your amount of diamonds, gold and oil. By hitting Start the entire process begins. If you haven't yet registered your license, a window will show up, where you need to get your own license code. After the activation was successfully, the connection to the database will get established and the changes are going to take effect. Now start up the game on your Android or iOS device and enjoy being unbeatable!

Holiday Camera Buying Guide
December 17, 2012 | Posted By: Eric Pearson | Categorized in: Shopping
Photographers come from all walks of life, and each has different needs for their photos. Whether you are looking for a serious camera for your professional photographer friend, or smartphone lenses to help the guy that keeps sharing his crappy Instagram photos, we are here to help. Here are some of the hot items this season that will make any camera aficionado drool.
For the serious shooterCanons new 6D has built in WIFI and GPS connectivity. Add that to a list of other impressive stats like the companys new Digic 5 proccessor and a 20.2 megapixel sensor and youve got a serious player in the full frame market. You can pick it up at B&H Photo for $2,699.00.
Nikons D600 has made waves in the DSLR market and its easy to see why with its 24.3mp full frame sensor, a 5.5 fps speed (a full shot faster than the 6D) and 1080p video capture. You can pick this up at Adorama for $2,496.95.
Its hard to pass up mentioning the Sony A99 in this category. Sonys might not be as popular as the Nikons and Canons, but this one is leaving a positive mark on the pro DSLR space with it 10fps shooting, an uncompressed video output and 24mp full frame sensor. You can pick this up at Sony for $2799.99
For the casual shooterCanons PowerShot G12 sports the companys Digic 4 processor and a 10mp sensor. It also offers a 2.8 inch vari-angled LCD and optical image stabilization. You can pick this up at B&H Photo for $349.95.
The Nikon J1 is a wonderful entry level option. It records full 1080p video, shoots 10 frames a second and has an excellent autofocus system. The mirrorless systems are here to stay and the J1 is a good move into the genre. You can pick this up at Sears for $396.95.
Sony has a few great options here too. The Alpha NEX-6 mirrorless camera shoots video, can take up to 10 frames per second and comes with a 16-50mm lens to capture images on its 16mp sensor. The RX1 is probably one of the best point-and-shoot cameras on the market. Its pricey (on par with the pro DSLR bodies) but its sports a full-frame sensor in a lightweight, beautiful design. You can pick this up Sony NEX-6 at J&R for $998.00, and the Sony RX1 at B&H Photo for $2,798.00.
EssentialsThe Lensbaby Spark will help the photographer on your list have an affordable tilt-shift lens at their disposal. And, its very small and portable, unlike a standard tilt-shift. You can pick this up at Amazon for $79.95.
The Black Rapid RS-4 camera strap is a unique way of wearing your camera. Worn diagonally across the torso, this strap is adjustable and allows you to quickly bring your camera up from your hip to capture every last memory. You can pick this up at B&H Photo for $53.95.
Looking to use that new DSLR for video? The Cam Caddie video stabilizer is a must. Attach any camera to its base and start turning your home movies into something Spielberg himself would happy with. You can pick this up at B&H Photo for $32.95.
What good is all this equipment if you have nothing to carry it in? Lowepro offers a few new bags in their lineup that are more than suitable. The Passport Sling will carry a small amount of gear and some personal items as well. The Flipside Sport 15L adds a little more space for more lenses, a flash or other accessories and also has room for an optional 1 liter liquid pack. Whats nice is its camera compartment is removable, turning the bag into a regular pack. You can pick this up at Adorama for $39.99
Cool gadgets and giftsFor the coffee drinkers on your list theres the Canon and Nikon lens mugs. Made to look like the real thing, these mugs will surely attract attention around the office. You can pick this up at ThinkGeek for $14.99.
The Expedition wooden tripod is something every Ansel Adams fan will want. This German-crafted beauty will be the envy of every photographer on your next photowalk. You can pick this up at Photojojo for $290.00.
Need a tripod in a hurry? Carry around the bottle cap tripod and turn any bottle into a small tripod to support your gear. You can pick it up at Photojojo for $10.00.
Smartphone shootersFor the smartphone photogs, the gadgets are endless. But here are a few standouts that will please any hipster. The magnetic lens set offers three lenses that attach to your phones lens with a metal ring. The set includes a fisheye, telephoto, wide angle and macro lenses to help take your Instagram pics to the next level. You can pick these up at Photojojo for $27.50.
Gorillapods GripTight phone stand will give your smartphone some sturdy legs and add tack-sharp focus to your smartphone photos. You can pick this up at Adorama for $29.95
Looking to create an interesting timelapse video? The Camalapse can make one with its rotating base that supports your iPhone. You can pick this up with the Gilf iPhone holder at Photojojo for $45.00

News: DMX Rides Rick Ross' Maybach Offer, "I'm Not The Average Artist"
Friday, Jun 17, 2011 6:06PM
Incarcerated rapper DMX may be the next artist headed over to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group as the former Ruff Ryders leader now reveals a deal is on the table.
According to X, Ross is interested in having him sign on the dotted line.
"Rick Ross' peoples wrote me a letter while I was in here," he revealed in an interview. "Yeah like 'Yo we got a home for you. We'll pick you up in a limo. Just come to Miami. Just come, we got you.' ... I'm thinking about it. It was a good feeling. I respect him as an artist, and I would like to work with him. But he got the whole Illuminati thing going on. I got fans who write me like 'I'm glad you're not a part of that.' And I don't know what it's really about entirely. So it might be like a good thing." (VIBE)
X said he needs time to examine Ross' crew before fully considering the deal.
"I have respect for him and he expressed interest that he wanted to work with me while I was out," X added. "So I definitely want do a song with him, but I don't know about the record label thing. I would have to see what his camp is like and feel people out. I'm not the average artist." (VIBE)
The troubled rapper is expected to be released from jail within the next few weeks.
Earl "DMX" Simmons is serving a year-long sentence for violating probation that began back on December 16th. X will be released early on July 1st under supervised watch until August 12th. The judge ruled that Simmons possibly suffered from bi-polar disorder and was admitted into the Flamenco Mental Health Unit at the facility. (Hip Hop Wired)
Last fall, X's ex-wife Tashera Simmons said the rapper was the target of a conspiracy.
"He only had three weeks left [of probation], and they set him up," Mrs. Simmons said. "Because he was in a rehab that they put him in because he was driving dirty, and they gave him permission to go do a show. How do you give someone that's supposed to be in a rehab permission to do a show? It was a set-up, and then X, I can't even believe that he even took a drink knowing the situation." (Street Disciplez Radio)

I love living in Savannah for so many wonderful reasons: the mild weather, the beautiful architecture, the friendly people and easy access to delicious, fresh seafood. Georgia blue crabs are a family favorite. While they are simple to catch and cook, it can be a challenge to retrieve the meat.
Crabbing is fun. The simplest method is to tie a chicken neck to the end of a fishing line and submerge it in the water. Once the crab "bites" the line you slowly scoop it up with a net.
For those with access to the water, investing in crab traps can really pay off. Just bait the traps, set them in the water and check on them after a few days. This can yield a larger crop with little effort.
I visited my friend Tiffany for an afternoon of crabbing, cooking, cleaning and eating these feisty little crustaceans. After we secured a large batch, we were ready to reap our rewards.
Cooking crabs is just as easy as catching them. Start by simply bringing a large pot of water to a boil. (I always add a couple of tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning to the water.) Add the live crabs to the boiling water and cook for a few minutes. When they turn red, they are ready to be removed and cleaned.
Cleaning a blue crab:
1. Prepare a place. I recommend an outside area that is a near a sink. Set up a table covered in newspaper for easy clean up.
2. Remove claws and set aside to open later with a nut/crab cracker. Discard extra "legs."
3. Turn crab on backside. Pull back the breastplate and discard.
4. Remove the top shell that is directly above the breastplate.
5. Remove the face of the crab and scrape away the internal organs. Doing this under running water is helpful. Be sure to remove the yellow, feathery gills and throw them away.
6. Break the crab in half and you will see the white meat. Remove this and place into a bowl—if you can wait!!
7. Enjoy!!
The following crab cake recipe is my husband's favorite. It is very simple and really complements the flavor of the crab.
Edwards Crab Cakes
1 pound crab meat (I prefer the white lump. Reserve the claw meat for stew.)
1 egg
1 tablespoon prepared, spicy or Dijon mustard (choose according to your own taste)
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Dash of hot sauce
1-1½ cups of breadcrumbs
Drain your crabmeat in a colander and dry with a paper towel. Mix the first seven ingredients together and form into patties. Put on a cookie sheet, cover and chill for a few hours. Remove from refrigerator and roll in the breadcrumbs. You may fry them on top of the stove or place them back on the cookie sheet, top with a little butter and cook in the oven at 350degrees for 7 to 10 minutes.
I hope that this spring you enjoy the bounty of our Earth.
As always, thanks for reading.
Properly yours,

Albany - - It's been a long road for a couple displaced by Hurricane Katrina. They picked up and moved to South Georgia after they lost everything. When they got here, they enrolled at Albany Technical College.
Friday, they were rewarded with degrees.
This young couple has been married for five years now.
"I went to her senior prom," Matt Geiken says.
They've shared many milestones. Friday, they shared another.
"It's something he's been wanting to do before he was 30 and finally got to do it," Janice Geiken says.
He got to graduate from college. It means a lot for Matt Geiken. He and his wife were displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
"Just being set back like that, losing a job, losing a home, I wasn't sure I'd be motivated to go back to college again," he says.
But he found a home at Albany Technical College. His wife Janice already had two other diplomas. She went back to school for a third.
Friday, there were seats with their names at Albany Tech's graduation. Both of their parents came to support.
"Seeing those kids grow up and losing a part of that childhood along the way. They don't need you as much as they once did but that's what we all hope for our children," says their mother Lynn Geiken.
She prays that they'll succeed, despite any odds that come against them.
"Right when I get up here from Katrina I wanted to kinda pick up and keep going," Geiken says.
And he did. They both did...together.
Four hundred students graduated from Albany Tech tonight at the Hyper Gym at Albany State.

Deer Uses Final Moments of Life to Attack Hunter
Dec 3rd 2008 11:34PM I live in the country, I have always loed watching all the wild life around me, BUT... lately there are a tremndous amount of deer around especally. These animals are so tame, they actually come toward cars. This has caused for many many more of them to be killed and serious injuries to drivers. This increased number of dead carcasses has attracted more dangerous wild life to the area such as bears and wolves. For the first time in my life, I am rooting for the hunters. Without them these populations would go rampant, diseases amonst them, let alone the human damage. I must admit tho, I do get a little tickled when I see that in some cases the animals do get a little revenge, lol. And I really liekd the idea of strapping antlers to hunters, see how many would still go, lol lol
