Tony Award Winner Nina Arianda Will Star as Janis Joplin: Who Would Play Her Best?
SodaHead Celebs
2012/07/10 20:00:00
The concept of making a Janis Joplin biopic has been kicked around for years now. But as of this morning, there's a new version in the works starring Nina Arianda. Never heard of her? She's not really a household name, unless your household happens to love theater. She's actually a Tony-award winner for Best Actress in a Play for "Venus in Fur." Now she'll be donning tie-dye and bangles to play the gravelly-voiced rock star who died tragically at the age of 27.
But Arianda isn't the first actress who's been attached to the coveted role. In 2004, pop star Pink was set to take on the part. That version's director, Penelope Spheeris, clearly figured the singer could connect with the character. Pink's song "Unwind" was actually a tribute to her idol, Joplin. But Pink left the film and a mad search started for a suitable replacement.
But Arianda isn't the first actress who's been attached to the coveted role. In 2004, pop star Pink was set to take on the part. That version's director, Penelope Spheeris, clearly figured the singer could connect with the character. Pink's song "Unwind" was actually a tribute to her idol, Joplin. But Pink left the film and a mad search started for a suitable replacement.
Next, "New Girl" star Zooey Deschanel beat out Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Scarlett Johansson for the part. The She & Him singer spent years trying to nail the Joplin's signature voice, but she probably would have been too adorkable to pull it off. This version fell apart, too.
When director Fernando Meirelles took over the project, he made an unlikely casting choice: Amy Adams. True, she was known to sing in films like "Enchanted," but it was hard to imagine her taking on the persona of the hard-drinking, psychedelic rock star. So going with a relatively unknown actress might be the best choice. Moviegoers will be able to watch the flick without any preconceived notions of the actress. What do you think: Who would play Janis Joplin the best?
Top Opinion
Wolverineland 2012/07/10 21:29:12Nina Arianda+5My vote would be for Lily Taylor. She has that plain Jane sexiness that Janis had and I think she can sing.

- Jessi S 2012/07/11 20:40:15Nina AriandaDoes anyone remember Crystal Bowersox? From Idols? I don't know if she can act, but her voice was eerily similar to Joplin's, she was truly brilliant. She also had a vague resemblance, slight though, but her manner was quite similar. Reminded me and awful lot of Joplin on the whole. She's who I would really pick.
- middlesex1957 2012/07/11 20:05:14PinkI think Pink would be a better choice vocally but she'd have to ruin her voice to do Janis. None of the women listed here look anything like Janis. Janis was hoarse, crude and sadly very homely. She had no grace or presence and it had an affect on her health. They'll have a hard time in makeup. It's pretty tough to play someone dying that young of self loathing, alcoholism and drugs. It helps if you don't start out as vibrant and pretty as the actresses listed here.

- SOUL4REAL 2012/07/11 18:59:59PinkPink,hands down! Pink has that ruffness to her and Janis Joplin wasn't no push over. Janis was "Hot' in her day,it was a sad day when the news came out about her death. People are still talking about her, she left her "Mark" on many people. R.I.P. Janis and I know you are "Rocking" heaven!
- mustangluver 2012/07/11 18:54:39Amy AdamsNot one of them. It would be hard to find someone to do Janis. There was a girl on AI who may be able to fit the bill but i can't remember her name. Bette Midler was as close as they come in the movie the Rose.
http://youtu.be/8jHZKwzceIM - Ed 2012/07/11 18:30:00
+1Yeah, like I said - to get the Janis sound you have to smoke 2 packs of cigs a day, do 3-4 bowls of pot/day, and drink yourself unconscious at least twice a week. That's how Janis did it. It's also how she died so young. No one ought to do what it took to get that Janis gravel voice. It was the sound of the symptoms of death by drugs and exhaustion.
A lot of musicians did drugs and still do. Loved the 2 books, Going Down with Janis and Buried Alive.
+1Wow. I agree. She could do Janis easily. She resembles her, she's got a similar look and rock. Now all she needs to do is smoke 2 packs of cigarettes/day, do 3-4 bowls of weed and drink until she passes out at least twice a week and she'll develop the whole package in no time. Unfortunately it will do the same things to her as it did to Janis. They'll make millions off the movie and she'll ruin her voice and health permanently. Better thought - leave her alone.
You forgot the pills, the pills, lol and the sex.
I think she can be taught to act the part, you know not live the part. I ran into her by accident looking for another obscure female singer.
I don't think Janis ever lost her voice, smoke and all, her voice matured like everyone else's in that time and prior to that time. Remember, there were cigarette commercials and bill boards back then. It was a different culture then.
It's amazing so many people and rockers survived those years. -
Nina Arianda+1Out of those four, sure, BUT I would love to see Dana Fusch play her. She does not look like her exactly, but she has the voice, and the persona. She was in Across the universe, and she can act!! A little prosthetics, and it would be awesome. Janis needs someone worthy of her to play her part!
+1Yeah, she could definitely pull it off. Altering looks is easy compared to sounding like Janis.
Update: Dana has already played the singing Janis in the Eric Nederlander production of Randall Myler's off Broadway musical Love, Janis.

(In otherwords, you can't use a 40% Michaels coupon to buy fabric at JoAnns b/c Michaels doesn't sell fabric - but you can you a Hobby Lobby coupon since they sell fabric). That is the only issue I've ever come across at JoAnn's. I've used Michaels coupons for craft and scrapbooking supplies at JoAnns though.

hi Ron. Waited a long time and took a lot! This is actually one of the elephants from the herd photographed crossing the dry lake in line. They were looking for water and, obviously, found it!

Several county residents have already received prank phone messages indicating they have failed to report for jury duty and will be fined $500 and serve a 30-day jail sentence for failing to appear, Baker said.
"We have received frantic phone calls from residents concerned about what is going to happen to them," Baker said. "Citizens are nervous that they could get arrested. It is happening all over the state. If they listen to the entire message they will find out it is a prank."
Victims are contacted via text message and/or email and are told to call a phone number to receive a message.
The phone numbers are advertised as the "Jury Duty Prank Line" on the website www.humorhot lines.com, Baker said.
Baker is urging citizens not to call these numbers and fall victim to this prank.
"These prank phone messages are creating anxiety for Cherokee County residents and creating extra work for court officials who have received phone calls from citizens who have fallen victim to these prank phone messages," she said.
The message received by the caller sounds very convincing and if the caller does not listen to the entire message, they will not be given the information that it is meant to be a joke, Baker stressed.
In the past, several telephone scams have been conducted using jury duty as a guise to obtain personal information.
Baker cautions citizens "Jury Management staff will never contact citizens by phone or email and ask for Social Security numbers, credit card numbers or other sensitive information. Do not give out such information over the phone or by email to anyone who contacts you claiming to be with law enforcement or the judicial system. Please report any such calls or emails received to law enforcement. "
Those who have been a victim of this or a similar scam and have shared Social Security number information can report it to the Social Security Fraud Hotline at 1-800-269-0271 and all three major credit bureaus, she said.
Authorities are investigating the incidents, Baker said.

Child sexual exploitation & trafficking
At Barnardo's, we believe in children. Everything we do is about lifting them out of poverty, abuse and discrimination and turning their lives around. Right now we're looking for exceptional people to take on an equally exceptional role: providing high-quality foster care for children and young people who have been trafficked or sexually exploited.
You could already be an approved foster carer. Or perhaps you have experience of working with children and young people with complex needs or those who can present behaviour that challenges. Either way, you will definitely bring an understanding of those who are vulnerable, and be able to provide them with a welcoming, safe and secure home environment.
In return, you will be part of a professional team and we will make sure that you have all the training, supervision, advice and support you need from our specialist team. Our carers also receive a generous fee.
We're with you every step of the way as together we work to make a big difference to children's lives. So, if you have a spare bedroom and no young children at home, join our team and help us cut a child free from sexual exploitation or trafficking.
We believe in embracing diversity and flexible working.

LETTER: Right to life, liberty conflicts with baring arms
To the Telegram: "Paranoia strikes deep, into each life it will creep, it starts when you're always afraid …"
To the Telegram:
"Paranoia strikes deep, into each life it will creep, it starts when you're always afraid …"
If you remember this, like I do. — yeah, I'm dating myself but it just popped into my mind when I was talking to my bride about gun control.
I've brought the subject up in earlier letters to the New Richmond News and it's not any less relevant today. I know guns don't kill people; I know most people who own guns use them responsibly. What bothers me is why do some people feel it's necessary to own assault rifles, or handguns, and why would anyone feel the need to carry a handgun around in plain sight, like at a tea party rally?
Is it because carrying a weapon makes them feel more macho, or to make a political statement or simply because they can?
It's a fact that disagreements can arise over the stupidest things, and can escalate without much warning, and if firearms are close at hand — well things can get out of control. What about the shootings in Colorado, Arizona, here in Wisconsin. If firearms were not so readily available, would a lot of these folks still be alive? What about the Kansas City football player that lost his temper, killed his girlfriend and then himself; might they still be around had he not had easy and legal access to a gun?
Nobody knows the answer to those questions, but might he have just walked away from the problem? The question that seems to stick with me, is if a person is so paranoid that he figures he has to carry a gun to protect himself — and I understand it is his right to do so — is my right to personal safety, which is also protected by the constitution, as in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, going to be trumped by the paranoia of the gun carrier.
I won't say we should do away with the right to bear arms, but wouldn't it make more sense to restrict sales to people pending passing a mental competency test, and restrict the way in which gun dealers do business, to make it harder for the wrong people to acquire weapons.
I would also like for someone to explain to me why any private citizen would need an automatic assault weapon.
George Richard,
New Richmond, Wis.

I want to get a 2 post Lift for my garage. Anyone have a recommendation and also anyone know of a company that also provides installation. Guess I am a chicken, but I am not sure I want to install my own lift and test it by being underneath my 49 Commodore to see if I did the job correctly.
See lots of bargin price lifts on the net, but none seem to offer installation.
From current research, seems like Bend-Pack is a good lift. Guess I would need either a 9,000 or 10,000 pound capacity lift for the 49 Commodore or my Expedition.

Do you know how thick the concrete is in your shop?
I've thought about these a lot. The 2 post lifts are really tough to do any type of drivetrain work.
For the cost I'm thinking a portable scissor lift would give me the ability to lift the car off the ground to a working level for about 1/2 the price and less hassle than installing a 2 post lift.
If you go with a good 4 post lift then you have the center open for work and you can even store a car underneath one as the good lifts have locking mechanisms. -
The two post lifts make me nervous just looking at them. Have you thought about the ceiling height in your garage? I've been checking out the 4 post lifts on http://www.superlifts.com . We've got a three car garage with a 12 foot high ceiling. Putting an autolift over in the third car garage would allow us to park our daily drivers in the double bay, and on the 3rd bay, hoist the parts car into the air for storage and have the Jet below where we could pull it out. Or of course, part with the parts car and let my husband have his own classic car.Take a Ride in a Hudson Jet!
I've got "the Whip" 10K in my shop. Need 12'+ ceiling height. I highly recommend it. It is very well made, in the USA. I will not risk my life beneath the Chicom junk. Whip industries is in Texas. Google them. They'll have a dealer contact you and they install. Mine was $3K installed but your price may vary. That was several years ago.
Good Luck

A clear floor asymetrical two post lift is much more versatile than a 4 poster. I have 3 of them I picked up used between $8-1200. I personally don't like the 4 post, too much iron in the way. Installation in my area is $400 excluding wiring. If you do look for a used lift check it carefully, parts are nla for a lot of the older lifts even if the name is familiar, many of these companies no longer manufacture but are importing chinese lifts with their brand on it. Also make sure the lift is single phase, the 220v in your home garage is not 3-phase. Concrete is important but a good 4" slab should be alright except maybe in Florida. Once you have a lift you'll wonder how you ever got by without one and its much cheaper than adding on to the garage to store that extra vehicle.
I'm going with boothguy's two-post for the same reason. Far less in the way, and there is much more versatility to a two-poster. I've got a 4" floor, but I plan to knock two holes in the floor where the lift will go and pour a 12" deep column that is 4" wider all around than the base of the uprights, and run long anchor bolts in the floor there. That lift won't go anywhere but up and down then. Plus, it'll hold any vehicle I currently have, including a one-ton Diesel truck!"The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot,
And whether pigs have wings..." -

Adding the extra footing sounds like a great idea. I've heard of people using these and not bolting them down - or bolting into concrete pads of questionable thickness and integrity...not a pretty sight!
boothguy do you have a picture of your style 2 post lift? -
This is "The Whip." It is also 2 post assymetric lift. The total cost installed was less than one hospital visit! I use it all the time. As far as the floor goes, I think it is a solid reinforced slab which is needed. The lift is bolted to that and then the monolithic slab sort of acts as an extension of the base. Does that make sense? I don't know but that's what the lift guy told me.
Have a nice day

I have a two post lift that I installed myself. Lifts my 49 four door as well as my 2001 mercury full size car and my Safari van (loaded with tools). One at a time! As pereviously stated,The floor thickness and integrity ar VERY important. I would be suspicious of any residential garage floor. I have seen many that had thick sides, but were less than 3" thick in the centers. Drilling one hole will tell you what the thickness is. Also stay away from cracks and expansion joints. With the use of a potable shop crane and a 3/4" hammer drill, I did the whole job myself. I'm over sixty and a weakling! It's all a matter of balance. I bought mine from Affordable Equipment in Orlando Fl. About $1,400.00. I picked it up at the warehouse with my Safari van and a flatbed open trailer. it comes in two bolted together units and is loaded with a fork lift. I used my portable shop crane to unload it and erect it. It took me less than 8 hours to unload and install it with absolutely no help. Running an electrical line overhead from the panel took an extra two hours.
There are two basic types of two posters. The lower weight rating (like mine) has a diamond plate steel "speed bump" on the floor between the posts. That is a chase to run cables and hydraulic lines through. This lift is plenty tough enough to do the job but if you anticipate using a roll around transmission jack..well it could pose a problem. The next higher weight rating has the cables and hydraulics in a cross bar above the towers. That leaves the floor clear and makes the towers much stronger by tieing them together at the top.
This lift gives the most access to the underside of the car. I've used it for everything from front suspension rebuild to rear end swaps. A two poster makes it a bit difficult to open the drivers door, so Paul Large Type might opt for a four poster.
Common sense must be used when using any lift and most assuredly a two poster. If the lift is installed correctly, it will not fail, but the car can slip off the pads if not properly supported by the pads. I always double check as soon as I get the wheels to clear the gound.
I wish I had gotten mine years ago. The last two years have let me do many more things than i would ever attempt on a creeper and jack stands. I do have a few more bumps on my head though! -
Thanks for all those inputs! My Pole Barn has a 4" thick concrete floor. The floor is re-inforced with rebar. I have no ceiling height issue as the Pole Barn is 17' high, so the lift with the clear floor feature sounds like the right way to go. I will have to think about the advantages / disadvantages of the 2 post versus the 4 post. Seems that the 2 post would be better for doing brake jobs and suspension work, and the 4 post would have an advantage for transmission removal ( except you have to take the transmission out through the inside of the car on a 49 Hudson ). Asymetrical seems to be better to be able to open the drivers door while the car is on a lift. I am concerned with some of the comments about breaking up the concrete and adding additional depth to the mounting area.
Guess I will google "The Whip" and see if there is a dealer in my area. I am ready to pay the extra $400 or so for installation.
GARY ( happychris ) -
If your floor has rebar re-inforcement as long as you hit the 4" mark I think your going to be ok.
If you did want to dig out and pour new footings I think adding additional rebar to tie into the existing floor would work though I'm no concrete professional for sure.
Just having rebar in your floor is better than most residential floors! -
I don't have any pictures, I have one Rotary that came out of a ford export facility that was closing down, very little used, bought 4 and let 3 of them go to friends- a very good lift. They had a bunch of them that all looked identical but had different weight ratings, I think it was inflated for marketing purposes. I'm sure Rotary is the biggest seller in the US and has good support. Second lift is a Nussbaum made in Germany, the guy I got it from said it was $5000 in 1990, very nice piece, I hope it never breaks. Last one is a Benwil, made in Japan, well made but a little exotic on the engineering. I think they are out of business at least in the US and I've had to rig it a little to keep it going as I can't find any parts for it. I installed all of them myself, just need a couple stout guys and a hammer drill, make sure the columns are square and plumb. The asymetricals are better balanced even though it may not appear that way. The force is all down, you'd really have to try to get one to rip a floor up. Much more likely to have a car fall off the lift so get one with functioning arm locks. They used to make a lot of lifts in Texas that were the cheap alternative before the chinese wiped everybody out, they were a bit on the crude side but worked fine and were strong. I would definitely avoid any thing that was screw driven, probably not many left around though. I'd rather have a good used lift than a chinese one, more form a political standpoint than anything else. Enough rambling- go get a lift, it will change your life- at least in the garage.
I've got mine against one wall. I had it installed as wide as possible which I think was 144in. The wider the better. I can either pass around the other side, or between the post and car, or under the car. No problem any way. My vote is for ease of use is 2 post for everything.
Good Luck

Not surprisingly it's the area that most women feel self conscious about with a new survey revealing a staggering 85 per cent of women worry about the size and shape of their posterior.
The study also discovered that clothes shopping caused 55 per cent of women to feel self conscious and 62 per cent of women didn't know how to dress their behind this party season.
With celebrities such as J-Lo and Kim Kardashian sporting a curvier figure it's no surprise that women are seeking cosmetic surgery to enhance their bottoms.
Buttock lifts and body sculpting are just some of the top procedures used to gain a curvy backside as well as liposuction which has seen a 64 per cent rise in popularity since 2009 according to leading cosmetic surgery provider, The Hospital Group.
Interestingly the study also found that women's bottoms now have four different shapes including the tomato, the potato, the pear and the nectarine.
The tomato shape, which is "bigger, plumper, rounder and squishy", now makes up 45 per cent of women's bums followed by the potato shape which is seen on 30 per cent of women and is wide, long and frumpy.
Other bottom shapes include the pear which is narrower at the top and almost twice the size of the fullest part of the bottom and the perfect derriere is the nectarine which looks like two bowling balls pushed together.
For those worrying about their looks The Hospital Group, one of the UK's leading cosmetic surgeons, offer an array of body-enhancing treatments such as breast enlargement and tummy tucks, as well as non-invasive procedures including BOTOX™, fillers and cosmetic dentistry.
David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group said: "Changing the way you look can often improve a whole person's outlook on life giving them greater confidence and higher self esteem.
"The Hospital Group offer a number of cosmetic surgery procedures to help women shape up and get body confident.
"Liposuction and sculpture will help tone the bottom and give it a smoother, curvy shape, while breast augmentation can help to create that hourglass figure.

text: UIAA General Assembly successfully concluded in Porto, Portugal 14 Oct 2009 The UIAA General Assembly on Saturday approved a code to serve as a beacon of mountaineering values, spelling out ethics of sportsmanship, respect for cultures and care for the environment. Doug Scott, the famed British mountaineer who achieved the seven summits, worked diligently on the document. He hopes it will guide alpinists well. "The Mountain Ethics Declaration, the updated statement on best practices in mountaineering, is very timely," Scott said, "especially to help those climbers in areas where there is no strong consensus of opinion as to the best way forward." The declaration addresses mountaineering issues such as the responsibility to assist others in need, the factual reporting of ascents and the use of supplementary oxygen in high altitude climbs. It also has a rich history. The document builds upon work of American climbers and the UIAA Mountaineering Commission, called the Mountain Code. That code was updated and approved at an international meeting of leading climbers in Innsbruck, Austria in 2002. The resulting document from that gathering was called the Tyrol Declaration. The UIAA Mountain Ethics Declaration, mountaineers at the General Assembly meeting said, is intended as a living document. The organisation expects to make continuous improvements. In addition to Scott, accomplished mountaineer John Nankervis of the New Zealand Alpine Club has been a key player in working on the declaration. He shall continue involvement with the polishing of the document. The Mountain Ethics Declaration will now go back for editing and inclusion of amendments agreed upon by the General Assembly. The final version will be released and published on the United Nations' International Mountain Day, on December 11, 2009. The General Assembly at its meeting Saturday also approved the UIAA's 2010 budget. This coming year's budget is designed to finance a revenue-generating strategy for the organisation. This strategy, in turn, is expected to allow the UIAA to expand its services to member federations and the mountaineering community. The court is a new body intended to settle internal conflicts within the UIAA. Moreover, the court's establishment is part of the professionalisation of the organisation. The General Assembly elected Bettina Geisseler of Switzerland SAC to be president of the new court, as well as two other court members, Robbert Leopold, of the Netherlands' NKBV, and Jordi Pons Sanjines, of Spain's FEDME. The General Assembly also agreed to welcome two new alpine associations to the UIAA. The Dominican Republic (Asociación Dominicana de Escalada y Montañismo) and the Mongolian Mountaineering and Climbing Federation are the new members. David Jones was elected as the new representative from Africa to the UIAA Management Committee. He belongs to the Mountain Club of South Africa. This year's annual UIAA General Assembly meeting was hosted by the Portuguese Alpine Club. |

"'Greetings, grapple fans' were the words that introduced Saturday afternoon wrestling on British commercial television when all three members of this trio were boys. These memorable words were spoken by a silky-voiced commentator called Kent Walton, who commentated on wrestling between 1955 and 1988.
When discussing improvised music, there are three frequently-used analogies that usually come to mind: having a conversation, making love, or wrestling. Wrestling seems particularly apt when thinking about the music of Hession/Wilkinson/Fell, as the group does tend towards a playful, grappling style. This irreverence is conducive to making good music and it speaks of their ease with each other's playing that they can throw each other around and pin each other to the canvas, musically-speaking.
This recording was made during a reunion tour for over 20 years of playing together, and it is their first for Bo' Weavil. They have recorded for a number of labels in the past; Fell's Bruce's Fingers imprint and Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace, but this is their first in many years. Here's hoping it's the start of many more."-Bo 'Weavil

Just a quick one. Just got back. Thought I would give you a nudge.
Pa thought we should get out today, he said it would do us good. As we pulled up outside Asda… he got the look! So he offered to take me to lunch. After popping into the giant superstore for a few things and spending £90 we walked over to the Cafe.
Now this Cafe has an Art Gallery attached. This pleased me very much, because I love to look around the lovely exhibitions they have there. They also make great homemade cakes which pleases your Pa. The gift shop also full of original gifts too. After all Christmas is coming!
Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre in Cwmbran has been going for a few years now and is one of our favourite places for tea and a snack.
They were in the middle of setting up the next exhibition today. It is called Portal Series 10. There is a private viewing on 11th of September 12pm to 2pm and then I assume it will be up and running.
I was a bit disappointed not to be able to see the new exhibition. However….. as I had to walk through the room to go to the toilet I caught a glimpse of some of the pieces that were being set up. (It is ok no one saw me). Lovely Stuff………
Must go back! Well worth another look.
I picked up the blurb for you and it says that is
"an exhibition of work of recent graduates exploring weave, textile, ceramic ,jewellery and photography questioning the motives, processes and preoccupations within contemporary applied art".
Sounds good to me.
Llantarnam Grange has a web site. (http://www.lgac.org.uk/) worth a look .

I made this dress using the new Elisalex Pattern from By Hand London with only a few changes. The pattern is a scoop neck, princess seam dress with a tulip pleated skirt and sleeves.
I didn't have enough of the geometric print so I used some cotton sateen for the side panels and I think it looks cool.

Police in appeal after cyclist injured
3:15pm Saturday 27th October 2012 in Local news
Police are appealing for a vital witness to come forward after a cyclist was seriously injured in a collision.
The cyclist, a 65-year-old local man, is currently "very poorly" in Airedale General Hospital near Keighley after he collided with a silver Renault van on Skipton Road, Embsay, at around 12.15pm on Thursday.
Investigating officers believe the driver of a small blue Mercedes car which overtook the cyclist just prior to the collision may have information.
Traffic constable Dave Clayton, of Skipton Road Policing Group, said: "The Mercedes had nothing to do with the collision but may be a vital witness."
Anyone who can help is asked to call police on 101.

DIY Shower Curtain from Ikea Sheets - Part I
Added by:
2 Girls And A Pin
I have seen beautiful tall shower curtains pop-up everywhere. But since we are living in a rental property, I couldn't allow myself to buy an expensive curtain that later may not be needed. So I decided that I will make one for under $20. It also had to be light enough so it wouldn't require a rod that needs to be screwed to the wall. After going to Joann's and looking through fabric, I figured that I would spend more than $15 just on the fabric alone and they didn't have the color I wanted, so I would still have to dye it. So off I went to think about what should I do while strolling through Ikea when suddenly I came upon cheap Ikea twin and thus was the idea of using the Ikea sheets was born.

NBA AM: The Next Tier Of NBA Free Agents
Posted By Steve Kyler On April 9, 2012 @ 9:26 am In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
The Would-Be Free Agents: There are going to be a several top shelf free agents in July, and teams will clamor to get after them. But after the dust settles on the likes of Deron Williams and Steve Nash there are a few guys headlining the next tier of players that could matter a little more, mainly because they are obtainable at a lower dollar value.
Here are some of the guys to consider:
Kirk Hinrich, Atlanta Hawks – $8.0 million – Unrestricted
Kirk likely isn't a starter anymore, but he is still capable of starting in a pinch. However when it comes to savvy on the ball defense; tough and gritty leadership and the ability to hit big shots, Kirk still has it.
Kirk is not going to be overly expensive, and while the Hawks may try and retain him at a lower price. It's far more likely that Kirk Hinrich is wearing another jersey next season. With a price tag likely in the $5 million per range, for what Kirk is as a player, he could be a great value especially for a veteran team looking for a solid backup.
D.J. Augustin, Charlotte Bobcats – $3.2 million – Restricted
D.J is a bit underrated, mainly because he is on a terrible Bobcat team. You can spin that two ways. If DJ was so good, why are the Cats so bad? Or is it that D.J.'s talents go underutilized because the Bobcats are trying for the lottery?
D.J. is likely going to be a restricted free agent, but given how frequently the Bobcats have shopped him in trade, the odds that Charlotte is matching a hefty offer for D.J. are pretty slim.
You are not likely getting D.J. Augustin for peanuts, but a real offer in the $6 million per year range may have the Bobcats thinking twice, especially if the deal is frontloaded or incentive heavy.
O.J. Mayo, Memphis Grizzlies – $5.6 million – Restricted
The Memphis Grizzlies have tried to trade O.J. Mayo more than a few times, not because they don't like or value O.J, they just know with $62 million in salary commitments next season that keeping O.J. long-term is going to be tough.
If the Grizz could do a new deal with O.J. at or around the salary number he is at today (roughly $6 million) they'd do a new deal today. But with O.J.'s asking price expected to be much higher that's where Memphis starts to blink.
A deal that starts in the $8 to $9 million range will likely have the Grizzlies blinking. The question is will anyone offer that?
O.J. has scored in double figures 38 times this season and scored above .500 from the field 17 times.
O.J. is far from an All-Star, but he has proven that he can be a high volume scorer if given the opportunity. The question is what's the number that makes Memphis blink?
Nick Young, L.A. Clippers – $3.7 million – Unrestricted
Nick hasn't exactly 'owned' it in LA with the Clippers. He has not played bad either. As an unrestricted free agent this summer Nick is going to have his choice of situations without having to worry about offers being matched.
Nick is a very capable scorer; he has scored in double figures 42 times this season including 14 games with 20 or more points and a 35 point outing versus the Trail Blazers in February.
Nick's maturity and professionalism are often questioned, but so far in LA he has been a solid contributor and a deep playoff run with the Clippers could really help his value.
With an expected price tag in the $6 million per year range, that might be a bit more than the LA Clippers can afford as Nick gave up his Bird Rights to be traded to the Clips.
Unless Nick agrees to a deal using the Mid-Level exception or basing a deal off his ending $3.7 million deal staying with the Clippers seems like a long shot.
Louis Williams, Philadelphia 76ers – $5.2 million – Early Termination
Assuming Lou opts out of his deal, he could be one of the top players on most teams' free agent board. He is a phenomenal player that's underpaid based on his in-game performance and if he opts out, he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
The 76ers have $55 million in salary commitments next year so Williams could opt-out simply to demand a new deal from the 76ers. Philly will have room under the luxury tax to pay him, however that $55 million is owed to seven players, so the 76ers will have to make some choices.
The new 76ers owners have hinted that the team may opt to amnesty Elton Brand to create cap room to go after a would-be free agent, so there is that consider.
Dropping Brand's $18 million opens up plenty of room for a new deal for Lou, but as an unrestricted free agent he'll have his choice of situations.
The Lou Williams situation is worth watching because he could be one of the best free agent acquisitions in the class especially if the major guys like Deron Williams and Steve Nash come off the board.
Courtney Lee, Houston Rockets – $2.2 million – Restricted
Shhh. The Houston Rockets really don't want you to notice that C-Lee is killing it when he plays big minutes.
Courtney is averaging almost 40% from NBA three (.393) and he is scoring solid double figures in more games than not. Courtney is a solid perimeter defender and his offense has really improved over the last month and half.
The truth of it is that Houston will likely match almost any reasonable offer on Courtney Lee, so landing him in free agency may be tough to manage unless someone offers a silly frontloaded contract.
The Rockets have just $40.8 million in salary commitments, which includes the non-guaranteed $6.6 million owed to Samuel Dalembert. His deal has a $1.5 million buyout so the Rockets are looking at ton of flexibility.
With the emergence of Courtney as a starting-caliber player, it might be more likely that Houston re-signs Courtney and trades veteran Kevin Martin, however with Martin continually hobbled with injury is there really a big market for his ending $12.4 million contract?
Carl Landry, New Orleans Hornets – $8.5 million – Unrestricted
When healthy Carl Landry is a monster. The problem is Landry hasn't been healthy very much this year. Carl has missed 25 games this year after missing six last season.
Carl has never played in all 82 games in his five NBA seasons.
The Hornets have just $36 million in salary commitments so doing a new deal with Carl is more than possible under the cap.
Carl will be an unrestricted free agent so he'll have his choice of situations. When healthy Carl is a monster, the question is how much is he really worth on the open market, especially in a draft year featuring more forwards than you can shake a stick at.
Chris Kaman, New Orleans Hornets – $12.7 million – Unrestricted
Chris Kaman isn't the next Shaquille O'Neal, but he is an extremely serviceable starting center and he'll be an unrestricted free agent in July.
While teams like Portland and Houston have eyes for Roy Hibbert and Brook Lopez, both are restricted free agents and their home teams can match whatever they are offered. Kaman as an unrestricted free agent can go where he wants.
The Hornets have talked about a contract extension with Kaman, but it seems more likely than not that Chris is going to go shopping and as one of the top unrestricted centers he could be had for a lot less than it's going to take to pry a Roy Hibbert out of Indiana.
Kaman likely isn't going to fetch the $12.5 million he was owed before the trade kicker he received this year, but a deal in the $10 to $11 million range is likely and there are a number of teams that could make that figure work.
Spencer Hawes, Philadelphia 76ers – $4.1 million – Unrestricted
Like Kaman, Hawes is going to be in demand because he is unrestricted and can choose his next situation. Philly will have the ability to re-sign him using his Bird rights and with the possibility of the team using their amnesty provision on Elton Brand, Hawes may be Philly's player to lose.
Philly can offer a fifth year which other teams cannot, so the question is who sets the price?
Hawes was owed $4.1 million this season, given the way he's played when healthy he's likely going to command significantly more in July.
Teams can talk contract extensions and new deals with their own players without restriction.
Players on non-rookie deals such as Chris Kaman could reach an extension agreement up until June 30th. On July 1st players become free agents and can begin talking with other teams, however new deals cannot be signed until July 11th.

Can't Help It: The last few days in Orlando have been a chaotic mess. Damage control has been the buzz word of the weekend as the Magic try and put the goo back in the goose and quell the firestorm head coach Stan Van Gundy unleashed on Thursday when he revealed that he knew his star player wanted him fired.
As we covered on Friday, the story being painted isn't exactly what happened.
But what's coming out of Orlando since Thursday is starting to clear the air a little and illustrate what's really going on.
Magic president Otis Smith flatly denied that Magic star Dwight Howard ever asked him to remove Stan Van Gundy.
"He never asked me; I didn't have that knowledge," Smith said.
Van Gundy said Thursday he knew Howard, the Magic's franchise player, had asked that he be fired. Smith said both parties were to blame for the public dispute.
"If he did ask he's wrong, and for Stan to address it in public, that is wrong," Smith said. — ESPN's Lisa Salters
What's real here is that Howard has not been talking much with Otis Smith and that Howard has been interfacing almost exclusively with Magic CEO Alex Martins.
Smith has been removed from the process with Howard.
Sources close to the process said that Magic director of player development Adonal Foyle ran the teams' trade deadline, interfacing with other teams on the Magic's behalf.
Otis Smith's contract gives him right of approval on all transactions, so he was in the loop on what was possible but his role in day to day has been radically scaled back.
ESPN's Marc Stein hinted at Foyle's new role this weekend, however according to sources it's larger than a grooming role.
Something else to track here, though, is the future of general manager Otis Smith. Sources close to the situation tell ESPN.com that Howard's recently retired backup, Adonal Foyle, is held in the highest regard by Magic officials and is being groomed for a future role of front-office prominence.
But it's not immediately clear, like a lot of things happening in the Magic Kingdom these days, whether that would come at Smith's expense. – Marc Stein ESPN .com
Sources close to this situation say that it won't be just Stan Van Gundy who is gone when the Magic's season ends; it will also be Otis Smith as well.
The Magic currently sit at 33-23 on the season which puts them in 6th place in the East. The magic play host to the Detroit Pistons tonight in Orlando and are a half game behind Indiana for the third seed.
The Pacers host the Toronto Raptors tonight, so the odds of the standings changing today look slim.
