49ers have needs to fill after Day 1
Maiocco: Goldson likely to follow Walker out of San Francisco

Three of the eight longest-tenured 49ers players are no longer on the team after the first day of the new league year.
Nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga had the second-most service on the 49ers' roster behind long-snapper Brian Jennings. He was a fourth-round pick in 2004, courtesy of general manager Terry Donahue and then-coach Dennis Erickson. Sopoaga is now a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Quarterback Alex Smith, the first selection in 2005 of the Mike Nolan-Scot McCloughan era, was officially traded to the Kansas City Chiefs.

And tight end Delanie Walker, a sixth-round pick in 2006, will make more in guaranteed money from the Tennessee Titans ($8.6 million) than he made in his seven seasons with the 49ers combined ($7.7 million).

The 49ers can be expected to lose at least one more free agent on Wednesday, as safety Dashon Goldson received the royal treatment of a private jet ride Tuesday to visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Also, nose tackle Ricky Jean Francois is in Philadelphia at this moment. If a deal is not worked out, Jean Francois is expected to take other trips. The Indianapolis Colts could be the next stop on his itinerary.
Meanwhile, the 49ers are set to visit Tuesday with Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey and safety Charles Woodson, whom the Green Bay Packers released last month.
The 49ers already appear to be in line to pick up a few compensatory draft picks in the 2014 draft. And that has become commonplace for the organization. They do not overpay to retain their own players, and they look at players, such as Woodson, who have been cut and do not count as "gains" in the complex compensatory formula.
The strategy has worked over the past few seasons for the 49ers. Think about it: When was the last time an NFL team won a Super Bowl powered by high-priced free agents?
The 49ers will sign free agents -- and, yes, Dorsey and Woodson are possibilities -- but it will be at the prices that fit with their long-term model. The 49ers are thinking ahead several years. They expect to be Super Bowl contenders as long as they have quarterback Colin Kaepernick and a solid nucleus around him.
After the 2014 season, the 49ers have five players who could command huge contracts -- Kaepernick, receiver Michael Crabtree, outside linebacker Aldon Smith, right tackle Anthony Davis and left guard Mike Iupati.
The 49ers will want to retain as many of those players as they can with long-term contracts, and they do not want to do anything now that might jeopardize that.

Here is a look at the 49ers' needs after the first day of the new league year:
Safety: Goldson is as good as gone, so the 49ers will likely need a replacement for the two-time Pro Bowl safety. Woodson and a strong draft class could provide the answer. Yes, Woodson turns 37 in October but he is still a play-maker who can line up all over Vic Fangio's defense. He missed nine games last season due to a collarbone fracture. In 2011, he intercepted seven passes and broke up 17 more. With draft picks at Nos. 31, 34 and 61, among their scheduled 14 selections, the 49ers can draft a safety to learn behind Woodson for a year. Kenny Vaccaro (Texas) will likely be gone, but Matt Elam (Florida) and Eric Reid (LSU) are among their other options.
Nose tackle: Sopoaga is gone, and Jean Francois might be out the door, too. The 49ers gave a $1 million signing bonus to third-string nose tackle Ian Williams to retain him through 2015. The 49ers need a starter, though. Dorsey could fit on the defensive line. The 49ers used a nose tackle on approximately one-third of their defensive snaps. The nose tackle is the first player who comes off the field when the defense goes with extra defensive backs. It is also a good year for defensive linemen in the draft, so they can be expected to select a big body or two.
Kicker: Davis Akers was released last week, and the 49ers do not have a replacement. Veteran free-agents Lawrence Tynes and Phil Dawson are among the possibilities. It might be a little too risky for a team that expects to make a Super Bowl run to go with a rookie, but the 49ers have that option, too. The most draftable kickers appear to be Dustin Hopkins (Florida State), Quinn Sharp (Oklahoma State) and Caleb Sturgis (Florida).
Backup quarterback: With Alex Smith now slated to start in Kansas City, the 49ers do not have a backup. That person could be Scott Tolzien, but he would have to earn the job in the offseason and training camp. There aren't a whole lot of great options in free agency. In the draft, Matt Scott (Arizona) and E.J. Manuel (Florida State) would be a good fits for the 49ers' new-look offense that is taking shape with Kaepernick at the controls.
Backup tight end: Walker signed with the Titans for starter's money. The 49ers will not be paying much to any backup with Vernon Davis signed through 2015. The only other tight end on the roster is Garrett Celek, who made the team as an undrafted rookie and saw more action last season than any of the team's drafted players. The 49ers can be expected to add a low-level veteran, as well as use a draft pick to bolster the position.
Those are the positions where the 49ers have their most dire needs. But there are other positions they could fortify with veterans or draft picks:
Cornerback: The 49ers were not happy with the play on the outside during the postseason, so they could look to add a bigger body. They are interested in Miami's 6-foot-3 cornerback Sean Smith, but his price might end up being too high. Nnamdi Asomugha is available at a fraction of the price of a couple years ago when he signed with Philadelphia and under-performed. And until the New York Jets do something with Darrelle Revis, his name will continue to surface. The 49ers return every cornerback from a year ago: Carlos Rogers, Tarell Brown, Chris Culliver, Perrish Cox and Tramaine Brock, who was tendered at $1.323 million for one year as a restricted free agent.
Return specialist: This might not be as big of an issue as one would think, even with Ted Ginn Jr. being a low priority to re-sign. Kyle Williams is due to return from ACL surgery at the start of training camp. Cox and LaMichael James are next in line for punt-return duties. On kickoffs, James was pretty good after taking over the job. Williams and Kendall Hunter are also possibilities. Still, it would not hurt to bring in more competition.
Wide receiver: Do the 49ers need a deep threat? That's why they drafted A.J. Jenkins in the first round a year ago. Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin are the starters. The 49ers have Mario Manningham under contract for one more season. He is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp due to his season-ending knee injury, but the 49ers can take their time. He would be the likely No. 3 receiver, unless Jenkins makes significant strides. Williams has the chance to work himself into a role. Still, the 49ers can be expected to add to the competition with another addition or two.
Backup outside pass-rusher: Parys Haralson is under contract and could serve as a backup to Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks. The 49ers also have a couple of 2012 draft choice returning, Darius Fleming and Cam Johnson. Fleming missed his entire rookie season with a knee injury. He was a constant at the team's practice facility during the season, working out to get back on the field. The 49ers visited last week with pass-rusher John Abraham, recently released by the Atlanta Falcons, so they are looking at veterans, too. Abraham remains unsigned.
Special teams: The 49ers looked at backup inside linebacker and special-teamer Lorenzo Alexander (Washington). With backup inside linebackers Larry Grant and Tavares Gooden hitting free agency, and the club not placing a tender on Darcel McBath as a restricted free agent, the club will need to add backups to run down and cover kicks.

An Anchorage Superior Court judge on Friday sentenced Byron Syvinski to serve 19 years for punching a 7-year-old girl in the head as he tried to steal her bicycle in his Eide Street neighborhood in 2011.
Judge Jack Smith also handed Syvinski, 33, a six-month sentence Friday for attacking another neighbor prior to the assault on the girl, Am-Marie Martin, now 9.
A jury convicted Syvsinski in July on charges of first-degree and fourth-degree assault as well as robbery. It was his fourth felony conviction.
Neighbors told police Syvinski seemed delirious when he tried to take a bag from a teenager in his driveway, then punched the teen's father, Roberto Delreal. The Delreals fought off Syvinski, who turned his attention to Martin as she sat, defenseless, on a child's pink bike in her driveway, according to a sentencing memorandum filed in court Friday by prosecutors.
Syvinski knocked Martin off the bicycle, punched her twice in the head and tried to take the bike but neighbors held onto him until police arrived, prosecutors said.
At the Friday sentencing hearing, Judge Smith said the seemingly random, "horrendous" violence that June day deeply affected the neighborhood.
"Even after she's on the ground, he continues to strike her," Smith said. "The neighbors respond, which may have been fortuitous. We really don't know what might've happened, whether it would've stopped at that point or continued at that point, because, frankly, he's out of control."
Smith noted Syvinski's drug abuse, mentioned in court documents for probation he served, which included abusing heroin, methamphetamine, Ecstasy and prescription pain medication. Prosecutors said that Syvinski was using "bath salts," a generic street name for synthetic methamphetamine, the day he attacked his neighbors.
But prosecutor Rob Henderson said the drug use did not fully explain the random act of violence that left Martin hospitalized. He warned Judge Smith that Syvinski would likely use drugs and lash out again if given the opportunity.
"Mr. Syvinski is not a person who's addicted to drugs and commits bad acts," Henderson said. "He is a bad person, he's a violent person who's addicted to drugs."
Syvinski's lawyer, Krista Maciolek, disagreed with Henderson and said the drug abuse and Syvinski's mental health issues were at play in the assaults. Syvinski's addiction grew out of prescriptions Syvinski had for back pain and trauma from his son dying in 2008, Maciolek said.
When it was his chance to speak, Syvinski -- looking heavier than he did at trial and wiping away tears at one point -- apologized to his neighbors and, specifically, to Martin.
"I'm terribly sorry for my acts, and I accept the sentence that the court hands down to me," he said. "All I can say is I apologize and I'm very sorry."
Martin's mother, Andrea Dunwoody, said the attack changed the neighborhood, once teeming with children playing outside. Afterward, the kids were afraid to come outside, she said.
Dunwoody said she hoped Syvinski received treatment for his apparent long-running drug abuse. She said she was glad Syvinski apologized and that her daughter, in fourth grade and at school Friday, had survived the attack.
"It shocked me, and I wish Am-Marie was here to hear him say he's sorry," Dunwoody said. "It doesn't take it all away but at least he did say it, so she can hear it. It's going to take a lot more for me to let go."
"It's hard to forget the things that happened. I'm very grateful that she's still here with me," Dunwoody said. "It's just a step forward. I hope he gets the help he needs before he is released, and it's time for my family to move forward."

It also helps to ensure that automated process aids and electronic systems are put in place to support the underlying business process, matching the real needs of its stakeholders.

Pros: Price. It works and is faster than IDE and non-NCQ SATA
Cons: Minor gripes: It's a Promise, not the first brand that comes to mind when you think "quality".
Other Thoughts: I can't speak for motherboard compatibility, but I've used these in a Dell Dimension 4600 and a Dell PowerEdge 600SC without incident. From a standpoint of quality and performance there are better cards out there.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SUPERMICRO AOC-SAT2-MV8 64-bit PCI-X133MHz SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card
Pros: This is an excellent upgrade for an older P4 system that doesn't support SATA w/NCQ. It gives better performance than almost any other PCI SATA cards I've tried.
Cons: It's a bit pricy but IMO worth it. Linux does not yet support the NCQ features of this card.
Other Thoughts: It would rock if they made a 4 port version of this card. Like someone else said, it's the only non-RAID 8-port SATA card out there - everything else is a true hardware RAID card.READ FULL REVIEW

"Tender, sweet, rich and buttery." This is how it was described in one of my favorite blogs, Cafe Fernando. It was too tempting, I couldn't help but give it a try. It is, well, as described!
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 cup of dried apricots, diced
1/4 cup of pistachios, roughly chopped
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (85 gr)
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 large egg yolks, lights beaten
For finishing:
1 large egg lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon milk for glazing
1 tbsp granulated sugar for sprinkling
- Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 400 F (205 C). Line a heavy baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add the dried apricots and pistachios, tossing until evenly distributed and coated with flour (this allows the dried fruit and nuts to be evenly distributed among each wedge). Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two table knives until the largest pieces of butter are about the size of peas.
- In a small bowl, stir the cream and egg yolks just to blend. Add this all at once to the flour mixture. Stir with a fork to begin combining the wet and dry ingredients and then use your hands to gently knead the mixture together until all the dry ingredients are absorbed into the dough and it can be gathered into a moist, shaggy ball.
- Do not overknead: This dough is sticky but benefits from minimal handling. Set the rough ball in the center of the prepared baking sheet and pat it gently into a round about 1 inch thick and 7 inches in diameter. Don't be tempted to make the round any flatter.
- With a sharp knife or pastry scraper, cut the round into eight wedges; separate the wedges. Brush the scones with the egg-milk glaze and sprinkle (liberally) with the sugar. Bake until the scones are deep golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a wedge comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Slide the parchment onto a rack and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Best served fresh, these scones will keep for up to a month, wrapped well and frozen. Thaw at room temperature and then warm in a 325°F (170°C) oven.
Source: Cafe Fernando (recipe adapted from Fine Cooking's Holiday Baking special issue Winter 2004)
How to Make the Perfect Scone. Quick tips from Cafe Fernando:
- First of all, before adding butter or any kind of liquid into your flour mixture, always toss your dried fruit and nuts with the flour, so that they will be evenly distributed among wedges.
- Chill your butter. The butter should be cold and firm, so that when you cut it into the dry ingredients it forms pea-sized pieces. This will make the scones light and tender. I always cut the butter into small cubes and keep it in the freezer for 15 minutes before adding it in. I even chill the flour mixture together with the bowl (in the refrigerator).
- Minimal handling is key! Scone batter should be mixed just until the ingredients hold together and the dry ingredients are incorporated. Kneading converts the protein to gluten. Do not over-knead or your scones will be tough and heavy.
- For flaky, layered scones, use a folding technique. Gather the dough into a ball, fold it in half and in half again and again.
- Do not pat the cut edges of the scones. Patting with your fingers melds the edges and the scone will not rise as nicely or have a flaky, layered structure.
- Also, keep an eye on the scones when they are baking. Do not over-bake like I did! Over-baking for even a minute or two will dry your scones out. As soon as the edges begin to turn brown, remove them from the oven. Place the scones on a wire rack immediately (the hot pan will continue to dry the scones).

Fantastic product; puts a razor edge back on the knife/axe in just a few strokes. Small enough to live in the top of the bag. Highly recommended.

I've always wanted one of these, but was in two minds whether or not to get one. My friend lent me his DC4 to have a play with to sharpen my blades. Well, I'm very impressed. I went and purchased one from Woodlore. Now it's a part of my EDC kit. Just to be able to touch up your knife in the field, it's awesome. The DC4 is well worth getting; I'd even go as far as to purchase another DC4 just in case I lose this one, or put in another kit bag as a spare.
Rated: 5/5

I've owned one back at home in England for a few years, but since moving to Australia for a while I wanted another out here. It's a great stone, small and portable and gives my knives a good edge when out and about. The only negative I have, and this was with my stone at home, is that after a few years the glue between the stones deteriorated and they came apart, hence the 4/5 stars, otherwise it would be 5*. I removed the old glue and epoxied them together again. Highly recommend getting one overall.

I bought this item to use in conjunction with my Fallkniven F1 and I'm very impressed with the quality of the whetstone and the Woodlore sheath provided. As the instructions point out, the whetstone will appear quite coarse until it is bedded in with some use. I've already used the ceramic side to put a good edge on my blade after use. Highly recommended item and service.

Picnic Lemonade
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
Great for taking along on a picnic, or to the beach on those hot summer days! I only made a half recipe in the pic I posted but it is easy to adjust to however many servings you need. I noticed the bigger lemons at the market I have been seeing lately give off a lot of juice, so you may only require 1/2-2/3 as many, but the juice total you measure should be the same.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups fresh lemon juice (about 24 lemons)
- 1 3⁄4-2 cups sugar (to taste)
- water
- Stir together lemon juice, sugar and water (enough to make 1 gallon), stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Pack into jugs or decanters.
Most Helpful
Delicious! I used some fresh lemons and some bottled lemon juice. I also scaled the recipe down. Thanks!
Made this for the 4th. It was very good lemonade. My lemons were very juicy so I didn't need the amount of lemons listed. There wasn't a drop leftover. Thanks Sue L. Bullwinkle.
Made this with REAL brand bottled lemon juice. It still was great, but I can imagine how Wonderful this would be with fresh lemons! Will definately make again. Complimented our Easter meal perfectly.

text: Nicolas, is very hard to discuss opinions and that was your opinion. I respect that, even if I can't understand in what you based this opinion. In my opinion, if you provide an environment where softwares can cooperate in the configuration layer (which is software's personality) and define some standards and policies for chaos minimization (which is reflected by this driver handling centralization from your example; we are not talking only about HW drivers), the ecosystem of integrated applications and ways to work will increase everyday, leveraging richer user experience and friendliness. You may have even tools that help you clean the chaos. My opinion is based mostly in observable evidence on what happened in the Windows world (the good parts), and a bit of intuition.

YO, if your issue is "i can't buy jeans because my waist tiny and my thighs thick," these are the jeans for you. I have never found a pair of jeans that fit the way I wanted them to: hugs waist, fits thighs n butt, and skinny at the ankle. You can move in them like they're leggings but they're definitely jeans. No pockets in the front but it's OK because that's only a pain when jeans *pretend* to have pockets, you know what I'm saying? they have back pockets and that's all I need.
Waist: 28in
Bum: 40in (at most outward point)
I bought a medium and they're snug but def in a hot way and they've stretched a bit after a couple wears, as jeans do.
These jeans show off the thickness in a v fitting way. You're gonna look great.

I bought the camel color in a size medium and it was a perfect fit. I was worried since I my butt is pretty prominent, but it fits perfectly and I don't feel like I'm suffocating when I sit down.

I got my black easy jean in an XS and it fits great. Very skinny and tight, which is good, but also stretchy so you can comfortably fit into them. They are a little long for me though, but it's nothing that really matters.

I am a 25" waist and ordered the small. Just go by the sizing chart and you will get the perfect fit! I noticed I have room if I were a 26" waist which is exactly what the size chart says for small. It is so difficult to find pants that hug my waist and AA does it with all their high-waist jeans. It is heavenly!

I love these jeans and im pretty curvy so i was surprised they looked good. They are very snug but flattering - only downfall was the length... as a tall girl i didnt expect the ruching that happens due to the length. Nothing a quick fold up cant fix though ladies... A must buy x

Body measurements: 33-23.5-35
Size: Small
These jeans fit perfectly, the waistband is snug against my small waist and the jeans stretch smoothly over my hips. Thick stretchy material, very form-fitting, very comfortable and flattering. I bought the medium wash colour and plan on purchasing the black and grey versions in the future. Highly recommend.

I LOVE these jeans! I have a curvy figure(size 14) and find it difficult to find high waisted jeans that actually sit on my waist because my butt is so big, and these ones do! I got the camel color in a size XL, and the shade is beautiful, and also has not faded after multiple washes! They never sag out on me, and the waist never loosens or gets saggy. These are the PERFECT jeans for curvy girls!

I bought the navy blue easy jeans about a little bit less than a year ago and they are easily my favorite pair of high waisted jeans. However, they are a bit pricey for how much they've worn out since then. After recently moving away for college and using the cheap laundry mat, I've noticed that the hem of the jeans and the butt area are extremely worn out and a lot lighter than the rest of the jeans. I've tried washing them inside out and now the inside looks warn out as well because of the thin denim. Besides that they are pretty decent! But i wouldn't pay 80 dollars again.

I bought them yesterday in L size black. In general, I wear T.38/40 EU. I just love them so much. They suit me perfectly and the quality is awesome. I do not regret to spend any euro on this pair of jeans. The model is great to wear with American Apparel body.

if you're wondering whether or not the high price is worth it for these jeans, it is! these are perfect. i've only had them about a week and i've worn them almost every day. they are the best fitting jeans, they're comfortable, and they look good with anything. i have them in the dark indigo wash and luv them

I bought this jeans in light blue and it started getting REALLY loose after wearing it 4 times. a lot of my other jeans have not been like this but those are from other companies and cheaper. i was really disappointed because it was true to size at first but started getting REALLY big. I even tried to shrink it with hot water but it did not work AT ALL. i was truly disappointed and i will NEVER buy jeans from AA again.

In store, I tried on dark wash indigo and it fit me perfectly. I purchased another pair of jeans (light wash indigo) without trying it on and assuming it would fit the same way. Both pairs say they're xxs but light wash indigo fit me like an xs or s. The length is also different.

I love high-waisted pants but has troubles finding ones that fit my pair shape. These pants are stretchy and really comfortable. They are forgiving around the hips too. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for comfortable high-waisted pants.

Being tall, slim, and curvy at the same time has made it impossible to find a good fitting jean, until now. At 5'10 and 36-25-36 all jeans I've tried on are too tight at my butt/ hips, but gaping at my waist and my ankles. These on the other hand fit like a dream! I've gotten rid of all my other poor fitting jeans to make way for more of these. I was nervous spending this much money on a pair of jeans but they are worth every cent. Lets hope they last. :)

I bought a used size M from a friend (who had worn them just a few times) in fairly good condition. They have been the most comfortable, flattering, versatile pants I've ever had. I got them maybe 8 months ago or so and I've noticed the seams near the crotch are getting progressively more and more thin and threadbare and there are lots of pills around that area as well. I wish I had taken better care of them because I'm upset that they're falling apart! Definitely buying a new pair.

How I upgraded my site to Drupal 8 on the train
Well, November 19th was destined to be a momentous day and since I had started almost eighteen months ago, I thought it might be high time to actually convert my site to Drupal 8.0.0.
But the only time I seem to be able to sit down and look at non work things is during my commute. On a train. With very… ummm… spotty internet connectivity at best. But what the heck. So luckily I have a local development copy of my site and a copy of the drupal git repo which was up to date.

Satchell, 6-foot-4, 265-pounds, was a two-year starter in high school. He played in the Kentucky-Tennessee Border Bowl after his senior season. Satchell plans on taking his official visit to campus during his spring break in March.

Packing Kid-Friendly Lunches: 10 Alternatives to PB&J
Year of the Tiger Bento: If you really want to spend some time and surprise your little one with a fantastic lunch, follow Happy LIttle Bento's lead with this tiger themed lunch. Our kids are definitely in the stage of not liking it when their food touches on a plate, so a bento box is perfect and fun for lunchtime. Skip the sandwich and fill the boxes with veggies, cheese, nuts, popcorn and a little treat. • 2 Ploughman's Lunch: Disassemble that sandwich and instead give the kids slices of bread, pita, or crackers with some good quality cheese, some dip, some meat and some sliced tomatos or cucumbers and let them assemble them at school. As they get used to it, add goat cheese, hummus, radishes and some mustard. • 3 Biscuits are a great alternative to regular bread and more kid-size for sandwiches. Pack them with their own butter and jam, or fill them with regular sandwich toppings to ease your child into eating something new. • 4 Chicken Soup or any soup really. At the moment, Dora Soup is a favorite but they'll eat homemade soup too as long as it doesn't have pepper in it (it freaks them out). A nice mild chicken soup is perfect in a thermos when it's cold outside. Plus some teachers will heat up soup for the little ones (at least our kindergartner gets that royal treatment). • 5 Fun Fruit Salad gets some fiber and a healthier dessert into lunch and with spring and summer around the corner, fresh fruit will be easier to come by. BOTTOM ROW • 6 Leftover Pasta: We recently discovered that the older one will eat sausage and loves pasta so we're trying some leftover pasta with extra sausage for protein in her lunch. She likes getting a tupperware container and a fork in her lunch--it makes her feel grown up! For more ideas, check out oodles of noodles, 4 things to do with leftover pasta. • 7 The Spanglish Sandwich: It's a take on a classic BLT and might have enough familiar ingredients to not freak the kids out. • 8 Different Bread: Try opening up your child's palate to rye, fresh no knead bread or a thick country style loaf. Even if it is still pb and j inside, they'll be expanding their horizons. • 9 PB and Fruit Sushi: A great way to mix up the traditional pb&j and introduce them to at least the shape of sushi (we have dreams of the kids trying it, just trying the real thing) and incorporate more fruit into their midday meal. • 10 Lots of small snacks can replace the need for a sandwich and can introduce kids to new flavors in small packages. For more inspiration for cooking for kids, check out On Cooking with Kids: Cookbooks.

Navigating the modeling and acting industry can be difficult at first. It's helpful to understand terminology and basic roles of the industry, and understanding the difference between an agent and manager is a key factor. To help, we have outlined the roles of both and agent and manager below.
The agents main goal and focus is to submit talent or models they represent for jobs or castings. Agents receive casting notifications and create relationships with industry professionals to place the talent they represent in jobs. Agents will take anywhere from 10 - 20% from each job they submit you for and you book.
You may have multiple agents dependent on your contract with them. If your contract is exclusive, you are not permitted representation from another agency. You may also have a regionally exclusive contract which may mean you are not permitted another agent in California but may also have a different agent in New York. As a general rule, if you have multiple agents, they should not be in the same region or market.
A manager takes on different responsibilities than an agent. While they are still permitted to submit you for jobs like an agent, they assist more with your development and shaping of your career. A manager works more on the promotional side of your career, and often will help you obtain an agent.
A manager will lead your development process. In other words, they get you ready to present to the industry. Development may include such tactics as getting you in physical shape, taking test shots, finding the right style and look for you, sending you to modeling/acting classes and introducing you to industry pros. A manager works closely with your agent and will help to oversee your scheduling.
A manager will also take a commission from the jobs you book while under contract with them. Just like your agent, their commission may be 10-20%. So if your agent takes 10% and your manager takes 15%, 25% of the money you make from each job will be taken out of our earnings. While you do not have to have a manager, it is common to have both an agent and manager.

Interest in issue bring residents to council
During the special meeting of the Amite Council held Monday, January 26, the Amite Town Council agreed to have a study done on Highway 16 for the possibility of four-laning the area from South Second Street (Jr. Food Mart) to South Duncan. Even though this was a resolution for a study, it brought over 30 people to the Amite City Hall on Tuesday, February 3, which is a rare oddity. Amite residents very rarely attend town meetings. Many of these in attendance were local business owners that came to protest the possibility of four-laning.
After two public hearings, Mayor Reggie Goldsby opened the regular meeting and allowed public input. Amite Chamber member Heather Williams-Cavaretta and President Mike Case were the first of many to express comments opposing the prospect.
Cavaretta stated that the Chamber had been informed that many of the downtown businesses are incredibly upset about the possibility to four-lane Hwy. 16 and that they are not in agreement at all. "This might go against our goals, which ya'll have supported, to bring businesses here," stated Cavaretta.
Ken Anderson, with his wife Madonna, of Dunn's Printing was the first business owner to speak out. "We have been fighting a losing battle with drainage for the 20 something years that we've been here. That should come before four-laning," stated Anderson.
He also made a comparison to downtown Hammond. "There are some areas that are parallel parking that when you open your door, you open it into traffic. The drainage issue is major. I just can't understand this idea. I want someone to explain how it will work!" stated Anderson.
Johnny Cooper of Cooper's Bakery was the next concerned business owner to speak out. "The day it comes, I move!" Cooper stated. He explained that on any given morning that his business is open, he has a long line of customers. "Really think about this. To me traffic is commerce, no traffic, no business," he added.
"There has been a many a time that traffic will be stopped, due to the train, that people have gotten out of their cars, came in and purchased something, went got back in their vehicle and went on. I've been here about 25 1/2 years. And I can't survive if this is approved!" Cooper ended.
Bill Irwin of Tangi Barber Shop, located on NE Central Ave. next door to the vet clinic, was the next to speak. He stated, "At this time there is ample parking for my business and many others, I'd like it to stay that way. We're all connected. Please take a better look at that."
Mike Petitto of Spitale's Restaurant was the final business owner to speak out. "My business is different from all of the others here. It thrives at night. People here can't parallel park. Our parking is not always a given. The town doesn't want this. Why would ya'll do this? Study Mulberry, where there's another option, do like Hammond. It may cost a little more money . . . We're getting progress, don't wreck it," stated Petitto.
He also added that since the increase in sales tax from Walmart it seemed to him that the council had, "forgotten that before Walmart moved in it was us business owners that were paying the bills with our taxes."
