The sounds of pins clattering to the wooden floors of a Southside bowling alley will soon be heard for the first time in several years.
Strikehouse Bowl, owned by Robert Dutcher, will hold its grand opening on Friday. The new business is located on Whiskey Road on the corner of Dougherty Road in the same building where Aiken Bowl was once located.
Dutcher, who was at the bowling alley Friday doing some more work, said he's excited to see it all come together. Currently, the building is in a state of "organized chaos" as Dutcher and his crew make a few last minute touches, but the fruits of their labor will be enjoyed by the public starting Friday evening.
Quite a few renovations have been done to the bowling alley. Flat screen televisions hang over the sleek new bowling lanes, new scoring equipment has been installed and new flooring are just a few of the things that have been done to improve the facility.
The bar will have red quartz counters with red-shaded overhead lights and the bottom portion is lined with corrugated metal.
"It's been a lot of hard work," Dutcher said. "I hope that it's (feedback) going to be good. I tried to keep it as nostalgic as possible."
Dutcher hopes the business will attract people of all ages and said it will have a family-friendly atmosphere.
Dutcher, originally from Reno, Nev., is an enthusiast of the sport and has wanted to open a bowling business for years. His father, Barry Dutcher, was also an avid bowler and worked as a back-end mechanic.
Dutcher wanted to open a bowling alley with his father, but he passed away before they could accomplish that goal together. About seven years ago, he moved to Aiken, and decided last year to purchase the old bowling alley.
The bowling alley was built in 1953 by Tommy Crouch to offer SRS employees some entertainment. The bowling alley became a favorite hang-out spot for many Aikenites.
The business was later owned by Crouch's son, Billy. In 2009, the bowling alley was closed after Billy Crouch passed away.
Strikehouse Bowl will open Friday at 5:30 p.m. Free pizza and soda will be available the first hour. The lanes will open around 6:30 p.m. Door prizes will also be given away during the grand opening.
Business hours will tentatively be Monday through Thursday from 2 p.m. to midnight, Friday from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Strikehouse Bowl will offer leagues, parties, private events, church or school lock-ins and after school functions.

Voters in the First Congressional District will go to the polls Tuesday to choose their representative to serve out the remainder of former Rep. Tim Scott's term.
Republican Mark Sanford, Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch and Green Party candidate Eugene Platt will appear on the ballot.
The first district has been solidly Republican for decades, but polls show the race between Sanford and Colbert Busch is close, as Sanford continues to be dogged by his personal life and the ethics charges he incurred as governor.
The seat opened up in a chain of events that unfolded late last year. Sen. Jim DeMint resigned his seat to work at the Heritage Foundation, and Gov. Nikki Haley appointed Scott to DeMint's seat.
That triggered a special election for Scott's seat, with seemingly every Republican in the Lowcountry vying for the chance to go to Washington.
Sanford and Curtis Bostic, a former Charleston County Councilman, made it to the runoff, which Sanford won with almost 57 percent of the vote.
Colbert Busch, meanwhile, was busy raising money after an easy primary victory.
The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Voters should remember to bring a photo ID.

Edurne Portela, associate professor of Spanish, is studying the Basque language to improve her understanding of the Basque Country in northern Spain.
Recognizing that disciplines and research programs evolve during a faculty member's career, the College of Arts and Sciences has awarded New Directions Fellowships for Mid-Career Faculty to Edurne Portela and Robert Rozehnal.
The awards, available for full professors and for associate professors nearing promotion, provide $10,000 a year for two years to support scholars pursuing new directions in their research.
"The New Directions Fellowships continue to support exciting new research," says Donald E. Hall, Herbert and Ann Siegel Dean. "Portela and Rozehnal are developing new areas of scholarship that undoubtedly will add to the academic dialogue in their disciplines."
Portela, the director of Lehigh's Humanities Center, is an associate professor of Spanish in the department of modern languages and literatures. Rozehnal, the founding director of Lehigh's Center for Global Islamic Studies, is an associate professor of religion studies.
Portela studies political violence and its cultural manifestations, particularly the representation of memory and trauma related to violence in the Hispanic World. The fellowship supports her examination of recent cultural expressions in the Basque Country of northern Spain that reflect the violence there.A profound indifference toward violence
Since 1959, the separatist terrorist group ETA has used violence in an effort to achieve Basque independence. This violence has been applauded by a minority of Basques, ignored or condoned by a majority, and openly criticized by a few, Portela says. In September 2010, ETA announced a ceasefire and the region is undergoing a reconciliation process.
Portela, a native of Spain's Basque Country, is examining why Basque society has developed a profound indifference towards terrorism. She is studying Basque literary works and films that address this indifference in order to awaken an ethical imagination that would move Basque citizens to empathize with victims of violence, or at the very least to show more responsible civic behavior. She attempts to explain how a society torn by fundamental, internal and endemic violence grows into a paralyzing culture of indifference and how literature and film have the potential to move citizens to work for peace.
To improve her understanding of the Basque language, which is unrelated to Spanish, Portela will take classes in Basque Country with the support of the New Directions Fellowship. She hopes to write a book that will contribute to current debates about peace in the region.
Rozehnal is an expert on the history and practice of Islam in Pakistan and India, with a particular focus on Sufism (Islamic mysticism). In his new research, he will explore the Internet as a vital space for communication and community building among diverse groups of American Muslims. Combining textual analysis with ethnographic fieldwork, he aims to chart the theological, socioeconomic, geographical, gender and cultural diversity of prominent Sufi orders in the United States—both online and on the ground.
In 2012, Rozehnal conducted a comprehensive online survey of Sufi websites. In the coming year, he will do fieldwork among five distinct American Sufi communities to document how they use cyberspace to expand networks, rethink tradition and refashion identity.
"The New Directions Fellowship offers a wonderful opportunity to transition back to academic research with a new project and a new trajectory," says Rozehnal.
Rozehnal is writing a book with Oneworld Publications (Oxford, England) that will shed new light into Muslim life in America. He hopes to create a new course to introduce digital religion and cyberspace Islam to Lehigh's undergraduate students.

Very late today. Just wanna say I think Kongo gets dropped here and finished. Idk why, its just a gut feeling.
Very late today. Just wanna say I think Kongo gets dropped here and finished. Idk why, its just a gut feeling.
Fuk he was fighting tonight? .... I'm off lol
Really surprised that Graham lasted the 3 rounds, he looked dead tired after a round or so. Not sure why he wasted so much energy throwing Kongo to the ground a few times when he was tired, should have used that energy to throw some more punches.
IMO, Kongo looked really flat last night.
I don't know if it was the quick turn around in fights at his age or his tentativeness going against somebody with Graham's striking prowess(since Kongo's chin ain't Hunt's). He's certainly plateaued for some time now, and while still quite gifted, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets upset by say, Ivanov(albeit iffy) or one of the Russians(Volkov, Minakov, Magomedov)....
I expect him to get upsetted sooner or later. Yea he didn't look great but Graham didn't do anything. So that made him actually throw some leather.

BOONVILLE - Starmount swept two Wilkes County schools in this week's action to remain in the hunt for the top 2A seed in the Mountain Valley Conference.
The Rams blew out North Wilkes 7-1 last Friday before edging Wilkes Central 3-2 in an overtime thriller Monday night.
Against the Vikings, Starmount scored early and often en route to the dominating win in Hays.
The Rams opened the scoring fives minutes into the game when Luis Luna scored off a Chandler Chappell assist for a quick 1-0 lead. Four minutes later Chappell found the back of the net for an early 2-0 advantage.
North kept Starmount from scoring for the rest of the half, but five second-half goals powered the Rams.
Catalan pushed the lead to 3-0 less than five minutes into the half before adding his second 10 minutes later on a penalty kick. David Zavaleta added back-to-back goals off Luna assists in a five-minute span to extend the lead to 6-0.
Juan Noveron would score the Rams final goal of the night as Luna picked up a hat trick in assists with 5:53 remaining in the game for a 7-0 lead.
Daniel Stinson recorded five saves in goal for the Rams.
Against the Eagles, Noveron's game-winner in overtime gave Starmount a crucial 2A win in the conference.
The Rams took an early 1-0 lead just three minutes into the game when Catalan scored off the assist by David Barrera.
Wilkes Central tied things up when a Denis Hernandez penalty shot found the back of the net past the out-stretched hand of Stinson 10 minutes later.
Starmount responded and retook the lead with 23:28 remaining in the opening half when Luna scored off an assist by Catalan.
Central found the equalizer midway through the second half on a Jorge Rivera goal that tied the game at 2-2.
With 15 minutes left in the game, a red card disqualification gave the Eagles a two-man advantage for the rest of the game. But Stinson and the Starmount defense stood tall and fended off the Central attack to send the game to overtime.
In the extra session, Noveron scored the game-winner off the assist by Ruben Salazar to give Starmount the much-needed 3-2 victory to keep pace in the 2A race.
"I was pleased with our performance from start to finish," head coach Dale Draughn said. "We could have gone away and hid when we went down two players, but we did not. That shows the mentality of this group to not give up and play to the final whistle.
"I think we have found the will to win and played as a team again, which was something that we were missing in our two losses to Ashe and Elkin," he continued. "We played team ball and everyone stepped it up a notch for the entire match. I am proud of them for how they played and responded to the adversity they faced. Hopefully we can build from this."
Stinson recorded 16 saves and allowed two goals on the night for Starmount.
With the wins, Starmount pushes its overall record to 6-3-1 and 4-3 in the Mountain Valley Conference.

Ghostcrawler has left the door open to these class and item balance issues being fixed (if Blizzard decides to pursue such fixes) in either a hotfix or through an upcoming patch. Chief among these changes are an increase in warlock DPS, a decrease in rogue DPS, a change in protection warriors to limit their utility in PvP, and refinements to Icecrown Citadel weapon procs.
When looking over this laundry list of areas to change, it's important to remember that Ghostcrawler is not promising a fix, and that he and his team are not ready to share specifics. He has not promised you the pony, so don't be mad if some of these changes don't happen.
Ghostcrawler's full statement after the break.
From Ghostcrawler:
As many of you have suspected, we think rogue damage is too high. We will be making hotfixes to lower the maximum damage output of Assassination and Combat rogues. The Combat nerf will be slight. Both specs should still do just fine on damage meters (assuming skill, gear etc.) but shouldn't be beating out other specs to such a large degree.
Other things on our radar that you might see soon -- none of these are promises and we have no specific changes to announce yet:
- Warlock damage in PvE is a little low.
- Protection warriors have too much utility and damage for PvP. (We don't want to hurt their tanking in PvE of course.)
- We are considering adjusting (not replacing) the Elemental 4 piece Tier 10 set bonus.
- We'll continue to refine and look at the Icecrown weapon procs.
- Other stuff (yes, we've heard your concerns), but these are the big things we are focusing on at this time.
We usually don't make such general announcements before we're ready to share the specifics, so we'll see how this works out.

I fished up the 9 patch binding today and have it fresh out of the dryer. Remember how much I didn't want to quilt this baby? Well my sweet blogging friend Christina ( The Sometimes Crafter) saved my life and did it for me on her long arm. She did such a good job, she quilted it in a loopy pattern that fits the retro 9 patch perfectly. I told her thank you but I still feel like I should go clean her toilets and empty her dishwasher. I'll let you know if she ever decides to start a little quilting business….I'll be her best customer for sure.
My brother is my new designated quilt holder-upper. Unfortunately it takes double the time to get a good picture because half of them look like the picture below. I threatened him with putting his picture on the blog, and he didn't believe me, and so I did.
This quilt looks fantabulous across the bottom of my bed. I give it a week before there are unidentified stains scattered here and there, but that just gives it more character right? Hope you all have a great weekend, our new Goodwill store just opened so I will be barging my way through the store throwing as much used crap in my cart as possible just to join in the frenzy.

This is lyrics to a song I have written since the bout with HELLP Syndrome and how I feel about my loss of my daughter.
No one knows how it really feels
It's not a dream but it's actually real.
Deep down inside it's a silent cry,
Only God can hear and only God knows why.
I talk to Him of all the pain,
There are some days I think I could go insane.
He comforts me with all His love,
And He is there with her up above.
It's a silent cry,
Having to say goodbye.
Leaving you in God's own hands,
And not sure that I understand.
Having to say goodbye,
Is always a silent cry.
There's not a day goes by I think of her,
An Angel that He didn't want to let go of that's forsure.
I can't wait till my life is through,
So I can spend eternity with her and You.

Drinking Closer to Home by Jessica Anya BlauThursday, February 3, 2011
I was asked to review this book for TLC Book Tours. I will admit, after coming off the Hunger Games novels this was a very different book. The author, Jessica Anya Blau, has created a very real family who definitely has their share of very real problems. Make no mistake, this is an adult book. It deals with adult issues like addiction and sex and at times it was a tough read. However I definitely appreciated that the author didn't sugarcoat things and I came away from this novel having both laughed and cried. While I wouldn't say that this book is for the faint of heart, it is a really good read with very real characters. I definitely enjoyed it.

It's Thirsty Thursday y'all! Everyone loves a good glass of wine after a long day, right? Here's to a brilliant way to incorporate fruit and wine all in one!
Wine Smoothie
Smoothie mix
1 cup of white wine
Mix ingredients together in a blender and marvel at this new creation. This drink is heavenly for all you wine lovers out there. Personally, I'd like to grab a Snuggie (yeah, I still have and use one!) and catch up on some DVR or watch a movie while I sip on this delight. So simple and you still have the rest of the bottle to down!
After sipping the wine smoothie, munchies are a necessity. The other night my boyfriend and I made a delicious appetizer to accompany our wine cocktail and precede our steak dinner, Bacon Shrimp Jalapeno Boats.
Bacon Shrimp Jalapeno Boats
2 large jalapenos
1 package of cream cheese
Fresh cooked shrimp
A few strips of peppered bacon
My mouth is watering at the thought of these babies! Cut the jalapenos in half and remove all seeds and insides to resemble a little boat. Add as much cream cheese as you'd like to fill your jalapeno boat, since we aren't huge fans so we used a little less. Top with 3-4 shrimps depending on the size of your jalapeno and wrap the filled boat with peppered bacon using toothpicks to keep in place. We threw these on the grill, but if you don't have that option you can put them in the oven for 17 – 20 minutes at 400 or until the bacon is cooked to your liking. You can easily alter to recipe depending on how many you plan on serving.
I got a little excited about the dinner and forgot to photograph the finished appetizer in all its glory, but I added one to my plate that can be seen in the picture above at the bottom right. So good, y'all! Until next time, stay thirsty!

Dana White confirms Ultimate Fighter's return to Wednesdays in 2013
After declining ratings this past year, FX will be moving The Ultimate Fighter reality show back to Wednesday nights, where the show aired for many years on Spike TV.Dana White confirms Ultimate Fighter's return to Wednesdays in 2013 - MMA FightingThe 17th season of Ultimate Fighter, which is currently being filmed in Las Vegas with Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen as coaches, is expected to air on Wednesday nights, starting in January on FX.
The show moving to a better night was announced by FX Executive Vice President Chuck Saftler back in October. Malki Kawa, the manager of Jones, said the move would be to Wednesday in an interview with The Fight Network. Subsequently, MMAFighting.com confirmed the new date with Dana White.
In doing so, the show is moving back to the night it ran on Spike for many years. The show moved to Fridays at the start of 2012, with the move from Spike TV to FX. Even though moving to a significantly higher rated network, and having the fights air live for the first time in the show's history, ratings fell to the lowest level in the show's history.
*Well that is a kick in the balls to the new Wed nights on Spike w/ Bellator!

If there's one thing that Google should do to improve Android, it's developing a better Android Market. Google's app store has a lot of limitations, it still doesn't have a desktop interface, applications are priced in multiple currencies, and it's not easy to find new applications.
Android Developers Blog announced that people from 18 additional countries will be able to buy Android apps. The new countries are: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, and Taiwan. Google says that paid apps will be available over the next two weeks. Android Market's paid apps will be available in 32 countries and Google promises to bring them to even more countries in the coming months.
Now that many other companies develop Android app stores, Google has to improve the Android Market if it doesn't want to see too many Android phones without the market.

Cub Swanson Hungry for Dominant Wins Following UFC on Fuel TV 7 Decision
I knew he was going to be a tough guy, but I just know that Im sharper than that, Swanson told Fox Sports after his unanimous decision victory. I was really frustrated about that, and I know I have to do better. I did enough to get the win, and Im proud of that, but I could be better.
Poirier did appear to be the tighter -- though not necessarily the more effective -- striker during their featherweight bout at Wembley Arena in London. However, Swanson managed to connect several times with hard, looping shots, notably clipping The Diamond with a sweeping uppercut in the first frame.
Im a lot more accurate than that. He did a pretty good job of holding back just enough, said Swanson. I give him credit. He was a lot trickier than I thought. My hats off to him. He was talking some trash, and I was like, My apologies, but I won it.
Swanson consistently stuffed Poiriers takedown attempts through a competitive first 10 minutes between the world-ranked 145-pounders. In round three, it was Swanson who shot for a takedown after Poirier began to find his range. While the decision resulted in Swanson winning the final round and the fight, the Jacksons MMA product was nevertheless injured in the process.
When I took him down, I landed on my head and my thumb at the same time. Im glad I didnt knock myself out, said Swanson. I bent my thumbnail back, and it started bleeding pretty good. That really hurt, but its cool. Its part of the job I chose.
The hard-fought victory should move Swanson further up the featherweight ladder, inching him one step closer to a rematch with reigning champion Jose Aldo. Swanson was initially supposed to face Dennis Siver on Saturday evening, but the German withdrew from their bout, leaving Poirier to fill in. Though a meeting with Siver would certainly make sense at this juncture, Swanson said he will be ready for whomever the UFC throws at him.
I think [Siver] should fight another guy first. I could see [myself fighting Chan Sung Jung] or [having] a rematch with [Ricardo] Lamas, said Swanson. Im trying to dominate these opponents, not just win. Im going to go back in the gym and work it. Im hungry.

Theater Review: Powerful portrayals make Hamlet'By Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | February 25,2013Provided Photo
Queen Gertrude (Kerry Noonan) caresses her son Hamlet (Jordan Gullikson) in the Champlain Theatre production of Hamlet.BURLINGTON Shakespeares Hamlet is in many ways as much about theater as it is about people. Not only are actors playing roles on stage, those characters are playing roles as well, as Joanne Farrell pointed out in her program notes for the Champlain Theatre production.
On Saturday, the Champlain College-based theater completed a two-weekend run of Hamlet at the Burlington schools Alumni Hall, directed by Farrell, that featured professional actors and faculty members as well as a few students. The closing performance, unusually attended by a large number of Burlington area theater professionals, proved both flawed and powerful.
Hamlet, one of Shakespeares greatest and most familiar tragedies, tells of Prince Hamlet, who returns home to Denmark upon the death of his father, King Hamlet, only to find his mother, Gertrude, married to his uncle, now King Claudius.
Through the ghost of his father and some cooperative actors, Hamlet proves to himself that Claudius indeed murdered his father. Feigning madness for time and advantage, Hamlet seeks justice and revenge. Before all is told, nearly everyone is destroyed even Hamlets beloved Ophelia.
What gives Hamlet its great dramatic power is the authenticity and humanness of its characters. All are severely flawed human beings, save perhaps Ophelia. Even Hamlet can be blamed for driving Ophelia to suicide.
Throughout, the drama and intrigue are accomplished through artifice: theater. In addition to Hamlets madness, Claudius feigns innocence and love for his stepson to Gertrude; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern feign friendship to Hamlet; and so on. Only Ophelia remains true.
Champlain Theatres often compelling production resulted from deft directing and some deeply rewarding performances. Jordan Gullikson was Hamlet. The Burlington-area professional not only delivered a performance that was natural, but he convincingly brought the audience through Hamlets emotional turmoil. There was no ham in this Hamlet.
Powerful and beautiful as well as heart-wrenching was Natalie Battistones Ophelia. Among the most poignant scenes were Hamlets rejection of Ophelia, and Ophelias later mad scene. These moments, without any overdoing, were about as emotion-filled as theater gets.
The productions ham could be found in Eric Ronis portrayal of Polonius. The veteran and accomplished actor played Ophelia and Laertes father as a clown, and gay as well.
There are humorous and even witty moments in the script, but Ronis performance had the audience in stitches, even guffawing seriously detracting from some very important moments in this tragedy.
Most of the performances were solid, though not always fully dimensional. Some of the less-experienced actors were either stiff or difficult to understand. (When will actors learn that they are incomprehensible when yelling, shrieking or moaning? And it kills any sense of drama.) Still, with Farrells expert direction, the story was told effectively.
The physical production, with a contemporary setting, was limited by the brightness of Alumni Hall, more of a lecture or concert hall. Still, the imaginative stage design (uncredited) and Eric Pearsons lighting and ambient music went a long way in creating the appropriate atmosphere.
Hamlets tragedy was told with passion.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

Bielefeld University is one of Germany's strongest research universities within a focussed spectrum of transdisciplinary fields encompassing not only the humanities and social sciences but also the natural and technological sciences. One confirmation of this is given by the Excellence Initiative with which the German federal and state governments are promoting top-level research in Germany. Bielefeld University has been hosting a Centre of Excellence on Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) and a Graduate School in History and Sociology (BGHS) since 2007. CITEC is receiving 6.5 million Euros a year; BGHS more than one million. Following the first two phases (2006 and 2007) of this the most renowned and strongly funded research programme, these two institutions contribute to making Bielefeld one of the successful universities. It ranks third place in North Rhine-Westphalia.CITEC - Cognitive Interaction Technology
Technology that understands
The vision guiding scientists working at CITEC is to build technology that understands. Future machines should adapt to human beings rather than - as before - human beings having to adapt to machines. And these range from everyday tools to robots. Machines have to meet the basic preconditions of interacting naturally with human beings and adapting their abilities flexibly to changing surroundings. These are the basic principles, and pioneering research on cognitive interaction technology is the necessary way to achieve this. One aspect is the search for the fundamental architectural principles of cognitive interaction between human beings and machines. This challenge can only by met through interdisciplinary cooperation between the greatest range of different disciplines. CITEC brings together scientists working in the Faculties of Biology, Linguistics and Literary Studies, Physics, Psychology and Sports Science, and Technology.
High-Profile Doctorate
Individuality, creativity and personal initiative - at the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology these attributes are strongly emphasized. 160 doctoral candidates of history and sociology study and research here together under one roof. They profit from the broad thematic variety BGHS has to offer. The staging of media potrayals, social changes, and historical and political processes of change are some of their main research fields. However, uncommon dissertation intentions are also welcome here at BGHS. For example, the relationship between the church and dancing or the functions and symbolism of tattoos.
The graduate school considers itself as a researching community of doctoral candidates and professors. That is also what the bottom-up principle stands for, which emphasizes personal initiative and codetermination of the doctoral candidates. They organize workshops and conferences of their own and have an influence on the content of teaching. This is how a culture of creativity and exchange is established, in which young scientists can lay solid groundstones for their future careers.
In the third phase of the Excellence Initiative in which the German federal and state governments are promoting science and research at German universities, Bielefeld University has won through to the second review stage with a proposed Cluster of Excellence drafted predominantly by sociologists and historians. A final decision was reached in June 2012.

Chattanooga Lady Mocs Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Auburn
Auburn Arena - Auburn, Ala.
Wednesday - Dec. 19, 2012
Head Coach Wes Moore
Thoughts on the game:
This is a team that averages about 72, 73. I can't be too disappointed with the defensive effort. But offensively, we worked so many days on this press and for us to come out here and to just be intimidated by it...hesitate against it, instead of attacking it. At some point it comes down to knocking some shots down. You would like to think we could have got it inside some more. With that zone and the press, we came down and had open looks. Unfortunately, when you are 4-31 from the 3-pt. line, you are in trouble. Maybe we shot too many threes, but I thought we had good looks. It was just one of those nights. You've just got to get yourself in the gym and work on it. You can't hang your head. Like I have said before, you have to work on it. Maybe we will be able to do that over the break."
On the play of junior Ashlen Dewart:
"We were trying to go inside to her. Ashlen had a good game. Let me say this, Ashlen was sick all day. She was throwing up and everything else. She showed a lot of heart going out there and battling as long as she did. She was effective. We needed to get it to her more. We cut it to seven in the second half and Ashlen played a big part of that, but that we as close as we could get."
More on the game:
"22 turnovers and 10 assists, that is not good. But if you are not knocking down shots, you don't have the opportunity for assists. You have to give them credit. They gave us different looks. They make it hard on you to run your stuff. At some point, you have to play basketball. You have to make good decisions against the press and knock down some shots."
On stopping Auburn's momentum:
"We used a couple of timeouts in the first half, which I don't like doing normally, but we had to. They kept making runs, but you have to get some stops and make some shots. It is hard to stop a run when you are not scoring at the other end. The scary thing is...this is the style Appalachian State plays. We are going to see it some more. We are going to have to handle the press and knock down some shots better than we did tonight."
Final thoughts:
"It was discouraging. You feel like if you play well, you have a shot at it, but we just didn't play well. It is hard to blame a kid for missing shots. All we can do is get in the gym and get better."

Synopsis: From the director of The Pirates of the Caribbean comes Rango, featuring Johnny Depp in an original animated comedy-adventure that takes moviegoers for a hilarious and heartfelt walk in the Wild West. The story follows the comical, transformative journey of Rango (Depp), a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in? When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt – a lawless outpost populated by the desert's most wily and whimsical creatures – the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt . . . until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be.

Step 1: Motivation
I already had a few hand-built bookcases, like these, but I needed more space, and I wanted them attached to the wall.
Step 2: Cost and tools
I spent $100 at Home Depot getting 3 standards (the rails), 15 brackets, 5 10 in x 48 in shelves, and screws (I used 2 in and 1 1/4 in).
Stud finder (I prefer using a magnet)

I'm a musician myself -- a keyboardist to be exact. It hurts to see that you put hardware stuff on top of your keyboard! lol
I don't know that I did. Can you better explain?
Ace Hardware Triple Shelf Brackets
As for drywall anchors: the best I've found are the ones that look like giant wood screws. They go in with a drill driver (again, fast!) and accept a wood or sheet metal screw. The cast-metal ones are a bit stronger than the plastic ones. I've recently seen some heavy-duty variants at Leow's that are purported to be good for 150 lbs. each.
Hope this helps.

When students at McDonald Elementary School were recently given an assignment to disguise a turkey so it would not get eaten on Thanksgiving, 4-year-old Bella Goude came up with a way to ace the project and honor her uncle, Larry Barrineau who is battling pancreatic cancer. Bella is pictured with her disguised turkey she named "Mr. Awareness!!", "Captain of Team Larry". What started as a simple project spread and became a school-wide cancer awareness day on Tuesday. Most students wore purple that day and Bella's classmates made the sign, which is pictured, in honor of her uncle and others who are battling the disease. Bella's teachers are Norma Briggs and Sandi Wilder.

- As described
- Designed to fit
Best Uses
Product fits well and holds several plants. Only reason that I don't list 5 stars is that Garner's does not provide replacement liners for this product. The product comes with 2 liners (2 half liners) that fit into the basket. Have been unable to find the specialized liner anywhere else. For the life of me, I don't understand why they would sell the product without the replacement liners.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Drains perfectly
Best Uses
I was able to fit 6 pepper plants in this and they are growing nicely
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Colorful
- Fantastic
- Looks great
- Screws Rust
Best Uses
- Beatification
- Herb garden
Hanging tomato gardening and floweri8ng plants to attract tbhe bees.
It makes the garden look complete.
I enjoyed it soo much I purchased another one.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Perfect Compliment
- Important Learning Curve
Best Uses
- Accessory For Planter
Perfect accessory to the 4-arm planter. However, we had to drill holes in the deck boards to secure the hanging planter, as the mounting hardware included with the planter did not work as described. Be sure this basket planter is in place & stays exactly level during the entire process of securing the 4-arm planter.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Love It
Best Uses
- Growing herbs
Completed the hanging garden set
I have the hanging veggie growing with tomatoes in them along with a hanging flowering ,plant to attract nthw bees for pollination.
Com.pletes the garden. and makesit look professional.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Large enough for lots
- Center too open
Best Uses
It is difficult to make your liner completely enclose the planter at the bottom, making it hard to keep the soil in.
- Basket fits legs well
- Visual fill in at center
- Must take legs off to add
- Needs two liners
- Put on while assembling
Best Uses
- Added visual appeal
- Added weight to center
- Add flowers to feeders
- Transplant posies to it
two liners work quite well ... tried one and it was a lot of work and would still like to do it over. It really does add to either hanging plants above or even adds flowers to hanging bird feeders. Lots of potential.
This is a nice addition to the hanger, the coir comes in two pieces one for on either side of the pole. They do seem to retain moisture much better than other coir I have used.
Dresses up the 4 arm planter
The provided liner did not have the needed 5 holes; one for the main pole, and 4 for the four legs. So, the liner is useless, making the basket useless

Last week, the 4th annual GigaOM Structure conference was held in Northern California and GoGrid was part of the show in many ways not only as a sponsor but also active in a variety of panels. This was our 4th Structure conference that we attended and 3rd that we have sponsored…so I guess you can say that we have been there from the start and support the efforts of the GigaOM team. Structure is GigaOM's "flagship conference on Cloud Computing and Internet Infrastructure" and we have seen the conference grow from a single day to this year's two day sold-out conference.
What struck me and my colleagues most about this show is the professional and technical level of the attendees. This was not a show of cloud or IaaS "tire kickers", these were people and businesses who knew their stuff about cloud computing and who were bringing value to the cloud (not diluting the term "cloud" like we are seeing in the mainstream media, in TV commercials and elsewhere). This was a partnership-making event. You could just feel the deals being drafted out in the hallways between sessions.
(image source: GigaOM)
But Structure 2011 was also an educational event, with carefully chosen speakers and panels providing thought-leadership ideas and commentary to a captive audience. I'm not going to discuss each and every session in this article, simply because GigaOM already has that covered. However, because GoGrid was an active in the event, I did want to provide a brief recap of two sessions that we were part of:
- "Dedicated, In More Ways Than One: The IaaS Panel"
- "The What, How and Why of Secure SaaS Delivery – GoGrid and Orange Business Services Discuss the Hosted Private Cloud as the Enabler"
The IaaS Panel was hosted by Paul Miller, Founder of Cloud of Data. On the panel with Paul was our very on John Keagy, Executive Chair and Founder of GoGrid; Chris Pinkham, Co-Founder and CEO of Nimbula; and Duke Skarda, CTO of SoftLayer. You can watch the full panel discussion in the video below.

ROCKFORD, IL---In a game for the record books, the Rockford IceHogs handled the Chicago Wolves Friday night with a 7-3 Illinois Lottery Cup victory at the MetroCentre.
Forwards Brett Sterling and Eric Kattelus and defenseman Jim Vandermeer scored for Chicago (35-27-5-4), which surrendered a franchise-record 58 shots to the IceHogs. Milwaukee set the previous mark of 56 on Feb. 10, 1995.
With the loss, the Wolves (79 points) dropped into 10th place in the Western Conference playoff chase with five games to play. Milwaukee and Rockford (81 points) are tied for the eighth and final playoff spot.
With playoff implications weighing heavy on both teams, scoring started early and happened often. Sterling lit the lamp first with an unassisted strike that trickled past Rockford goalie Carter Hutton at 8:30 of the first period.
The lead held until IceHogs right wing Ben Smith rocketed a cross-crease feed over the top of Wolves goaltender Matt Climie. Smith's power-play score at 17:43 would be his first of three on the night.
Rockford (38-31-2-1) scored three times in the second period to take a 4-2 lead after 40 minutes. Kattelus' deflection of a Brad Hunt shot on the power play had cut the IceHogs margin to 3-2, but Smith scored with 45 seconds left in the second to regain the two-goal lead.
The IceHogs scored three more times in the third period before Vandermeer's slap shot on the power play closed the scoring with 29 seconds to play.
Climie (22-23-3) stopped 40 of 44 shots before being replaced by Joe Cannata (11 saves in 14 shots) at the start of the third period.
The Wolves return to Allstate Arena at 7 p.m. Saturday as they welcome the Charlotte Checkers. For tickets, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or visit ChicagoWolves.com.

A Warrenville woman was detained for shoplifting for a third time after creating a scene in a North Augusta convenience store when approached by a store employee.
Cristine Faith Anderson, 26, of Turnbull Street, was charged with shoplifting and placed in the Aiken County detention center, where she remained Wednesday afternoon.
The incident happened at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Sprint store on Jefferson Davis Highway in North Augusta, according to a report by the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
A store employee told officers she saw Anderson enter the store, walk around and place items into her purse. The store employee called law enforcement, approached Anderson as she walked toward the counter and asked for the merchandise.
Anderson "became irate and told her she didn't have anything," according to the report.
Anderson then "started yelling and asking (the employee) not to contact police," and started throwing the items from her purse onto the floor, according to the report.
Anderson tried to leave and fell while pushing the employee out of the way, according to the report. The employee held Anderson while other employees locked the door until officers arrived, according to the report.
Officers were unable to speak with Anderson because she was crying so much, according to the report.
Officers got permission to search a bag belonging to a man who was at the store with Anderson and found a syringe along with some other items, according to the report.
Inside Anderson's purse, officers found several items belonging to the store and numerous credit cards "belonging to listed others," according to the report.
Anderson told officers she intended to steal the items until the man told her not to because they had money, according to the report.
She has additional shoplifting charges on her record with the Aiken Department of Public Safety and the North Augusta Department of Public Safety, as well as charges of grand larceny and burglary in North Augusta.
Anderson was arrested, and the man was released. Both were placed on trespass notice for the store.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.
