"Fodder Form Pavilion," by HuycKurlanDowling, is the only edible entry in the contest. Made from plant starches, the giant block is slowly eaten away by goats or ponies, creating a shady grotto for human visitors to enjoy.
Ed Blumer and Pete Storey designed "For Rent" under the name MTWTHFSS. The premise of their pavilion is borrow instead of buy. "For Rent" is made entirely from rented materials suspended on a crane. Visitors can relax beneath the adjustable canopy that changes shape as the crane is moved. After, the pieces are returned to the respective vendors, yielding zero waste.
Using toilet paper and cardboard tubes, Maria Mingallon's "Enneper Pavilion," transforms the rolls into an undulating organic shaped pavilion that provides both shade and shelter from rain.
The final entry also plays on the idea of clouds, and is called "A cloud, in a Tree," by SAMPLES. Suspended from one of the island's grand trees, the canopy, made from recycled boat sails, provides a suggested pavilion. Without walls, the cloud-sail gives shade, while giving uninterrupted views of the island and adjacent skyline.
The five designs will each have a chance to respond to critiques before submitting final proposals at the end of September.

Basing on the White Paper on hydel projects, the Affected Citizens of Teesta has said that the State Government's contribution of 26 percent equity share in the hydel projects through loans taken from project developers and the subsequent repayment with interest from 12 percent free power that the state is to get from the projects has dazzled the public with promises of huge revenue and prosperity.
Quoting the White Paper that taking a loan for equity contribution might not be very attractive proposition, ACT general secretary Dawa Lepcha has questioned the reasons for the random implementation of numerous projects in such haste "if the future prospect of revenue generation on which the hydel projects are being justified and glorified is in serious doubt".
He has further raised concerns whether projects would function as being projected before the loans are paid back given the volatile nature of rivers, landscapes and the receding glaciers.
He added that the paragraph from the White Paper surely does not give a promising picture.

I've been wanting to do this for years now and finally got to it. Obviously it's not historically or regionally accurate in any way, but it was fun to make. Of course, I couldn't resist having some fun with it in the spirit of Toyfare, so I made up some goofy pics with terribly unfunny jokes too.
Happy Holidays!

ISLAND DISPATCH Come Out & Support The Vikings at Rich Stadium tonight when they meet Amherst at 10 P.M. SERVING THE GRAND ISLAND COMMUNITY SINCE 1944 With The GRAND ISLAND NEWS GRAND ISLAND, NY (716) 773-7676 20 PAGES VOL. 49 • NO. 33 NOV. 13, 1992 Tentative Town Budget Aired At Hearing THE TENTATIVE general town fund budget of $3,449,673, received at a public hearing November 9, will be reduced to $3,427,173 if approved as scheduled Monday. The reduction reflects the removal of $22,500 publicity fund, turned down by voters, Nov. 3. The 1993 budget projects a tax rate of $1,845 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, up 23 1/20 from the current $1.61. Questioned and sometimes protested by some of the six taxpayers at the hearing were a number of items including the town historical budget of $1,425, an increase of $425 or 50% more than 1992. Justification of some increases were explained by Supervisor James H. Pax and Councilman Gail Lazenby. Councilwoman Marion P. Fabiano received a round of applause when she announced the annual refuse pickup and recycling program cost will be reduced by $33 per household. The highway rate of $1.76 per M will remain the same, Pax said. The cost of fire protection will be increased by 6#, from 93tf to 99tf per $1,000, sewer and water rates are prorated by district. Cost of water in 1993 will be increased from $1.70 per 1,000 gallons to $1.75, the audience was told. Calling it a "bare bones" budget, Pax said it could have projected no property tax increase except for the need to meet a $140,000 litigation payment on a lawsuit settlement. MEK The Vikes Celebrate After Exciting Depew Win! See page 13 for more Photo by Barbl Lare Land Use Study May Aid Master Planning THE LAND Use Service Cost/Revenue Generation Study, recently completed by the accounting f inn of Fiddler & Co., is currently being examined by the Master Plan Update Committee and others involved in that project. Councilman James R. Sharpe, Committee Chairman, commenting on the report, indicated he agreed with Fiddler's recommendation that "As town officials move to implement the new Comprehensive Master Plan, (hey should consider the current mix of properties and the implication of changing the mix through future development." Although other factors must also be considered in the balance of planned land usage, "the beneficial subsidy of commercial development and taxable open land must be considered," the survey claims. Sharpe, who recommended that land use be explored, said "We have tried to come up with a plan that will provide the service and programs residents want and still keep within reasonable tax limits. 1 think the land use study will help us solve that problem." The study, in part, explains it is "intended to help local officials - evaluate future land use choices by considering the financial implications of the cost of servicing versus the revenues generated by various types of development," and that 80% of the town's taxable assessed valuation is residential property, 4.5% open space and 15.5% commercial. According to the 1991-92 tax rolls, though 11 new businesses paid but $2118.37 in town taxes, they paid a total of $18,895.99 in a combination of town taxes, highway, fire and speical district fees which benefit the town at large. These businesses are Robert's Machine Corp., Fast by Gast, Ammex Corp., ARS Service, GP-50, Inducon I & 11, Hollisßoss Agency, Health Care Plan, YIP Pharmaceutical, and Grimm Associates. Only four of those are BCIDA tax abated though still pay service user fees. Copies of the 11 page report, compiled at a cost of $5,000, are available in the lown hall for examination.

BRANSON, Mo. -- Police detectives say a woman's death on Sunday in a hotel is a homicide. A maid found the 63-year-old woman's body in her room. Police say it appears the woman had been dead for more than two days.
Investigators say her husband is a person of interest in her death. Police did not release either name at a news conference on Monday morning, as they work to notify family. An autopsy is being performed Monday, but police are not releasing the cause of death at this time, saying it's an important part of the investigation.
Police say the couple from California checked into the Ramada Inn on Thursday and were scheduled to check out Sunday. The couple had recently moved to the area from southern California. Investigators say no one inside the hotel heard or saw anything suspicious related to the death.
Police are looking for a blue Dodge Durango (like the one in the photo) with California license plate 5WRF678. Branson Police Chief Kent Crutcher says, "We hope to contact family members and friends from where they're from, learn more about them. Obviously our goal is to locate the husband, not knowing if he's involved or if he's a victim himself is something we have to sort through and determine. It's too early at this point to make any judgments about that."
Anyone with information about this death or the Durango can call Detective Sean Barnwell at (417) 337-8593.Branson's last three homicide investigations, in 2007, 2008 and 2010 were all at motels.

california dreamin'
Today is just a lazy Sunday, perfect for reading magazines (I'm so excited that my Vanity Fair finally came in!) and basking in the warm spring sunlight. Earlier this month I picked up the newest copy of A MAGAZINE, a biannual periodical that chooses a fashion designer or house as a guest curator for each issue, with Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte at the creative helm.
The Los Angeles-based sisters dedicated their special volume to the Golden State, featuring past inspirations, the work of fellow contemporary artists, and their own creations on it girls Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst. A MAGAZINE curated by RODARTE is, in a sense, a love letter to the home state they know and love, and as a California native I'm happy to say that it definitely does not disappoint.
On a similar note, I recently came upon Rodarte's film collaboration with Todd Cole, which resulted in a beautiful short showcasing the design duo's Spring 2011 collection. Once again, Elle Fanning takes center stage and wistfully wanders around a deserted property in romantic dresses, youthful jumpsuits, and glamorous golden makeup. I think Fanning is a perfect muse for Rodarte's feminine, forward-thinking aesthetic, and I'm quite taken with the Mulleavy's obvious devotion to their craft and their approach to fashion as art.

Presentation Skills for Scientists with DVD-ROM
- Mixed media product
- Publication date:March 2010
- 80pages
- 12 b/w illus. 5 tables
- Dimensions: 228 x 152 mm
- Weight: 0.2kg
Scientists are rarely given formal training in presentation skills and yet are often called upon to present the results of their research. This book provides a practical guide to the creation and delivery of scientific presentations, whatever the topic. Its practical 'how-to' style leaves discussion of the background psychology of public speaking to others and focuses instead on the issues that are of immediate concern to the busy scientist. The text covers all of the important aspects of scientific presentations, ranging from audience awareness to handling questions. Links are included throughout the text to the accompanying DVD, which contains annotated video clips of speakers delivering a talk and demonstrates the common problems found with many presenters, as well as the exercises designed to overcome them. Image files of different slide layouts, colour schemes and font styles demonstrate the design issues that one must consider when creating visual material.

RBA in Spanish House
Spanish House (La Casa) is unique among living groups at MIT. First, it is a cultural house, created to spread knowledge of Latino culture to the MIT community. We have many cultural events in which we share the Spanish language or showcase some Hispanic traditions. Also, while it is an integral part of the larger New House community, Spanish House is also its own community with its own rules, regulations, and taxes.
Spanish House is one of the two cultural houses in New House that participate in the Residence-Based Advising (RBA) program.
For further information, please visit the Spanish House website.
RBA Advising Option
- If you are assigned to Spanish House, you will be advised by a Traditional Advisor.

It appears the WHL's new crackdown on head shots to limit concussions has yet to have the desired effect.
While the league refuses to release the number of concussions suffered by players until the end of the season — totals hidden by the WHL's nebulous new injury list that limits reporting to upper- or lower-body ailments only — commissioner Ron Robison admits the number of head injuries has remained roughly the same as last season.

…it's a blog!
Hey all, and welcome to the Colby Echo's first-ever editor blog: Echoes from the Editors.
I'm often asked who we are at the Echo, how we choose our stories, our staff, and how the paper gets printed each week. Here on our blog, you can follow our journey from ideas to print, one semantic snafu at a time. We'll talk about our experiences as student journalists and also just students– what's really going on around campus. Who's talking (or not talking) and why. What issues are students most concerned about on the Hill, around our local community, and all over the world.
Our contributers will almost exclusively be editors past and present, and we'll cover all kinds of issues. One of the beautiful things about being a part of a student-run newspaper at Colby is that we have true autonomy in deciding what we cover and how we cover it, and that same free voice will carry over into this new and exciting forum.
And now.. for the question… Who is the Colby Echo?
Okay that's a big question. Let's start small. I'm Beth. Hi.
[photo|class:left|id:1225|size:300]Thats me there on the left, sitting with Taylor Tully '10, one of my good friends here at the College. If you're wondering about the gorgeous background, I studied abroad in Paris last semester, and we're sitting in the square at Hôtel de Ville. In Paris, I lived about a ten minute walk away from this spot, in the 11th arrondissement right next to the Bastille. Taylor actually studied abroad in Tanzania, but he made a quick stop in Europe on the way home to the US and so we had the opportunity to hang out. (We college students live tragically unfulfilling lives ….)
Anyway, this year at the Echo I've been honored with the position of Editor-in-Chief. I have also been completely blessed with the most amazing team of editors you could imagine. Seriously, they are the best. And they can probably introduce themselves better than I will be able to, so I'll let them say their own "hellos" on their own time.
Until then, I'll leave you with an image that more or less sums up Tuesday nights in the basement of Roberts Union, where our editorial boardroom resides and the magic happens.
[photo|id:1226|size:full]It's an image from a few years ago at this point… My guess is 2007, but while some of the faces have changed, the Tuesday night scene has more or less stayed exactly the same: we work really hard, have a great time doin` it, and produce the best paper we can each week. Occasionally, we sleep.
So, welcome to our blog, our writings, and our voices from way up on Mayflower Hill. This year, the Echo goes multimedia, so be sure to check back and see what's new!
- Beth

Scene above: Constitution Island, where Revolutionary War forts still exist, as photographed from Trophy Point, United States Military Academy, West Point, New York Please note that you can leave a comment on any of our posts at our Facebook page. Subscribers can also comment at length at our Angel's Corner Forum. SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:51 A.M. ET: STILL RECONSIDERING? – The AP has joined the list of news organizations reporting, based on anonymous sources, that Chris Christie is "reconsidering" his decision not to join the presidential race. If he waits much longer, he can join Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani in the National Society of Reconsiderers, now being formed. Because of filing deadlines in several primary states, Christie only has weeks to decide. ROMNEY, CHRISTIE, CHALLENGE OBAMA IN POLLS – A new Rasmussen poll shows Mitt Romney and Chris Christie nipping at Obama's heels. In a direct matchup among likely voters, it's Romney 44% versus Obama 42%. And it's Christie 43%, Obama 44%. But both Rick Perry and now Herman Cain are within single digits of the president. The poll is one of a number showing Romney having the best chance of defeating Obama, although not by much. GEORGE EASTMAN MUST BE TURNING OVER – Like many people interested in photography, I grew up on the film "in the yellow box." Photography meant Kodak. The first camera for many of us was a Kodak Baby Brownie. Our memories are on Kodak film, in my case Kodachrome, which many consider the finest slide film ever made. Now it is reported that Eastman Kodak may declare bankruptcy, and has hired legal advisers, although the company asserts that it is first pursuing other forms of restructuring. The rapid decline of film photography and the failure of the Rochester, New York, firm to be ahead of the digital curve have led to a precarious economic situation. A sad time for a company that is more than numbers. It is a memory. STYLE AND MONEY – Some liberal columnists are going berserk over Chris Christie's considerable girth, some declaring it a disqualification. I find it amusing that liberals are the very people who, for years, have lectured us on judging people by their appearance, on ethnic profiling, on sexist references to women's looks, etc., etc. It's been my experience that liberals are interested in two things – style and money. Substance is a distant third. The liberal commentators are proving it once again. Why, for goodness sake, Chris Christie doesn't look the part of a president. How can one accept him? I recall how libs swooned over Adlai Stevenson in the 1950s because he had some style. No substance, plenty of style. Nothing changes. September 30, 2011 Permalink WHACKJOBS OF THE WORLD UNITE! – AT 7:44 P.M. ET: Well, I guess it was inevitable. The usual suspects are out in force today, denouncing the killing of Al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, taken out in Yemen by an American drone. Anwar al-Awlaki was an American citizen who'd gone to Yemen to fight against the United States. On the left, the ACLU is arguing that he was entitled to due process. (Does that include an appearance on television's "The People's Court"?) On the right, Ron Paul, who has the nerve to call himself a Republican, is arguing the same thing. This demonstrates one of the first laws of political science, that the extreme left and the extreme right always meet. It is highly unlikely that any federal court would uphold the argument that President Obama would have to seek al-Awlaki's arrest and give him his Miranda rights. He was an enemy combatant engaged in operations against this country. I'm not sure Constitutional protections were designed for chaps like this. But it's interesting to watch the expected crowd, which never seems to fret about victims' rights, have their usual outing. September 30, 2011 Permalink WHAT WE FACE – AT 9:44 A.M. ET: President Obama came to office with the idea of "engaging" the Muslim world. That effort has resulted in absolutely nothing. In fact, the most belligerent of the Muslim countries have actually become more hostile. The worst, and most dangerous, is Iran. And what is the character of the regime there? It has now sentenced to death a Christian pastor who refuses to renounce his Christianity. The story is now growing around the world. It is possible the execution may take place within days unless it is stopped: COMMENT: We will keep you informed of developments. The Iranian regime has occasionally shown itself to be responsive to international protests, if only to improve its image and to influence simpler minds in the West. We'd like to hear from President Obama. September 30, 2011 Permalink GROWN-UPS AT WORK – AT 8:36 A.M. ET: Bill Clinton, who's been making a fool of himself on several fronts recently, has expressed the prayer that someday it will be politically impossible in America for anyone to doubt the climate-change religion. How brilliant. How intellectual. Maybe Bill should give back his Rhodes scholarship. At a time when more and more first-class scientists are raising doubts about the holy texts taught in the Church of the Global Warming, Clinton wants to shut down discussion. I'd love to know where his investments are. Now comes along an utterly fascinating development – a serious scientific challenge to Einstein's general theory of relativity. And what do we see at work? Real science. Not political science. Not trendy science. But a true scientific discussion, not led by Al Gore. The Harvard Crimson has run a fine piece that shows us how scientific claims are handled by the adults: And... WHAT? You mean we can question scientists? You mean we don't have to accept everything they say? Yeah, we can do that. Yikes! An international body? Did you know that? I didn't. Does it sound familiar to you, as in "the international consensus on climate change." We've learned that much of the "settled" science on climate change is actually coming from "international bodies." Hmm. Why do I think we're getting somewhere? COMMENT: Yup. Look at the contrast between this cautious approach, with demands for real confirmation, and the farcical nature of the global warming discussion, with Al Gore suggesting that skeptics are the equivalent of racists, and others comparing skepticism to Holocaust denial. Maybe even the trendy media will learn something from the Einstein discussion, but I'm not holding my breath. September 30, 2011 Permalink AMBUSHED AT PASSION GAP – AT 8:07 A.M. ET: All elections are won by turnout. Only those who vote get to decide who wins. So if you're suffering a passion gap – a lack of enthusiasm on the part of your supporters – you're in trouble. It's clear from a new Gallup Poll that Obama is passion deprived: And... COMMENT: Obama's problem is that, to get back his full Democratic base, topped off with zeal, would require government programs and expenditures that the GOP House will never pass. Obama's hope for victory lies, as presidential victories usually do, in the center, and there his fate depends largely on who the Republicans nominate. If the GOP goes off the deep end, the center might, although with reluctance, vote to give Obama a second term. If the GOP has a superb candidate, I think Obama might familiarize himself with moving companies. September 30, 2011 Permalink BULLETIN: ANOTHER MAJOR AL QAEDA FIGURE HAS BEEN KILLED – AT 7:44 A.M. ET: From The Hill: COMMENT: That is good news, and we don't hesitate to praise the Obama administration for pursuing security policies, based on those initiated by President Bush, that led to this success. We might also single out Leon Panetta, who was made head of the CIA when Obama took office, despite doubts about his lack of intelligence experience, and who has served admirably. He is currently standing up for an adequate defense budget, in the face of mindless budget slashers who only see numbers. Of course, the zombie left will probably see this incident as another sign that Obama has abandoned them. I hope they're right, or, er, left. September 30, 2011 Permalink SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 10:09 P.M. ET: OBAMA IN POLL DUMPS – President Obama's approval rating is back in the 30s, according to Gallup. A rolling poll taken over three days has the president at 39% approve, 51% disapprove. We should point out, though, that the president's weak approval rating doesn't necessarily translate into good news for Republicans. The president still beats almost every named Republican candidate in post poll matchups. The Republicans are still looking for the specific individual who can defeat the president, however unpopular he may be, next November. PALIN DELAYS AGAIN – Yawn. Sarah Palin now says she won't be announcing her decision on whether to run for president in the next few days, as many had expected. She said during the summer that a decision should be made by the end of September, which is tomorrow. Now that's been pushed back. Very frankly, I'm not so sure many people care at this point. I've always liked Sarah, but she's declined continuously in Republican and national polls, and her "decision process" has become a big bore. If you have to delay that much, how serious are you about the job? We're talking about the American presidency, not an episode of Celebrity Apprentice. If Palin hadn't resigned as governor of Alaska, she'd be in a far stronger position today, a serious officeholder rather than a personality. MAJOR CULTURAL NEWS – A northern California (natch) teacher has banned "bless you," said after someone sneezes, from his classroom, saying it's disruptive and an outdated practice. He's even tried to lower students' grades if they say it. Parents have complained and the teacher says he won't actually lower grades, but will find another way to punish students who say "bless you." The fact that this goofball remains a teacher tells us something about educational practice in some areas these days. CRONY CAPITALISM – The recently fired CEO of Hewlett-Packard is walking away with a golden parachute of $13-million, even though the market value of the company plunged by $40-billion in 11 months. At a time of economic stress for tens of millions of Americans, this is bound to create outrage, and to be seen as another example of "crony capitalism," deals made at a certain level of American business that require excessive payments to executives, even failed executives, while those below can barely make ends meet. This is the kind of behavior that creates enormous, understandable anger, and erodes support for the free enterprise system. Crony capitalism is a curse that can eventually lead to backlash and severe regulation. September 29, 2011 Permalink OH, SUCH GREAT NEWS – AT 9:50 A.M. ET: The reality is that very few revolutions go well. Libya's is in doubt. What else is new in the Mideast? From the Jerusalem Post: Yeah, those Nazi divisions were pretty good also. Just what we need in the Mideast – guys who probably think Iran is the livin' end. Looks like Obama has done it again. COMMENT: Didn't Obama promise us change we could believe in? Do you believe in what's happening in Libya? No, I didn't think so. September 29, 2011 Permalink OBAMACARE HEADING FOR THE O.K. CORRAL – AT 9:19 A.M. ET: It looks like we may find out if Obamacare lives or dies – at least legally – right in the middle of the presidential campaign. It is heading for the Supreme Court. From WaPo: That's absolutely appalling, and sheer demagoguery. Comparing Obamacare to the Voting Rights Act is an attempt to scare people into thinking the opponents of Obamacare are trying to roll back civil rights. "Scare" is the name of the game for the Democrats in 2012. COMMENT: The White House must be awfully confident of the outcome in the high court. I'm not so sure. The key decided, if the Court takes the case this term, will be Anthony Kennedy. The four conservatives – Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Chief Justice Roberts, will almost certainly oppose Obamacare. The four liberals – Ginsberg, Satomayor, Kagan and Breyer, will almost certainly uphold it. Anthony Kennedy is the swing vote. I don't think that, even if the Court upholds the program, it will become any more popular. Indeed, there are already indications that Obamacare will cost more than it will save, and will not really improve the health-care system. I hope the Court rules against, in part because that would require Congress to start over, at least with part of the legislation, with more Republicans present than there were when the original law was passed. September 29, 2011 Permalink NOW RUDY? – AT 9:02 A.M. ET: I'm a big fan of Rudy Giuliani, one of the best mayors New York City ever had. (Problem is, no mayor of New York ever rose higher.) I'm not such a fan of Rudy's presidential aspirations. He handled his 2008 campaign horribly, and now we're told he's seriously considering jumping in again, with an eye on New Hampshire. COMMENT: I just can't see this working. Rudy's glory days ended ten years ago. He hasn't, in the years since, done anything or suggested anything, that he can point to as a qualification. He didn't fare well in the 2008 primaries, even in Florida, which has huge numbers of transplanted New Yorkers. Had he run for governor of New York in the last ten years, and won, he'd be in a very different position today. It is true that neither Nixon nor Reagan held office when they were elected to the presidency, but Nixon had been vice president, and a presidential nominee, and Reagan had been governor of our largest state. As much as I admire him, I don't see Rudy making much of a difference. Time has marched on. September 29, 2011 Permalink HERE WE GO AGAIN – AT 8:41 A.M. ET: Would you believe that, two days after Chris Christie made it clear (in my view) that he isn't running for president, it's reported that he's seriously reconsidering. This comes from the New York Post, part of News Corporation, which also owns Fox News. Fox, which has been reporting that Christie definitely won't run, is considered close to Christie. I don't know about the Post. So we report this simply as a news story: COMMENT: Well, that's a good story. Now we'll wait to see if anything happens. One of the things they teach you in screenwriting class is to avoid "quick conversions," where characters suddenly change overnight. Of course, an election campaign isn't a movie. Or is it?

Striped bass anglers at Smith Mountain Lake are relieved a local hatchery will be operational by Spring, stocking the popular game fish once again.
The Vic Thomas hatchery in Brookneal (Campbell County) is the main hatchery that stocks striped bass at Smith Mountain Lake, and other lakes in the region.
Earlier this year, the hatchery's manager retired which left an opening. Due to statewide budget cuts, a hiring freeze within the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) left that position vacant, along with several other part-time positions and seasonal workers.
Captain Todd Keith, a professional striper fishing guide at Smith Mountain Lake, is anxious to get the hatchery open once again.
"If we don't have the right amount of fish each year, people are going to maintain their killing or harvesting. So it's going to hurt us down the road," says Keith.
During a typical year, 200,000 to 500,000 striped bass are placed in Smith Mountain Lake. The process starts early, that's why it's essential to get all the staff in place.
The hatchery in Brookneal relies on the collection of fish known as broodfish. The broodfish are mature fish used for the production of eggs.
Broodfish are collected over a few weeks in the Spring, then put in the hatchery.
The small fish, produced from the broodfish are then placed in Smith Mountain Lake during the first few weeks of June. They are only around 3 inches in length.
In early February, a request for seasonal workers and hatchery superintendent were approved and job announcements were posted on the state website. David Whitehurst with the Department of Game and Inland fisheries says he hopes to "have the seasonal workers hired soon, so they can be trained to run the hatchery." "The hiring of the full-time hatchery superintendent may take a little longer," says Whitehurst.
Until the Vic Thomas hatchery is open for business, anglers like Todd Keith are urging everyone to be conservative when it comes to taking home striped bass.
"Let's ease back on the harvesting of these fish and take it easy until we know what is going to happen, says Keith."
If the lake isn't stocked this year, anglers may not notice a difference until 2013, when the fish supply is much lower.
However, Whitehurst says if everything goes as anticipated, stripers will be stocked this summer.

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons#151;their love, their sacrifices, their lies. A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.

Add a CommentThis is on of the best books I have ever read. It has the whole real life feel to it and the history is amazing.
This is one of the best books i've read in a while.
Beautiful and heartbreaking, this novel brilliantly captures the relationship between Amir and Hassan which is full of complexities. It also reflects the shifting realities of Afghanistan from a poor, generally overlooked nation, to one at war with the USSR, to a nation which is discussed commonly in the supermarket in the United States. Never an easy read with plot turns and descriptions that may be horrific or extremely upsetting for some readers, it ultimately reflects the single Afghan phrase that emerges repeatedly in the novel: life goes on.
Difficult to read, impossible to put down. This story pulls at your heart strings.
Good book.
This is the book that brought me back to reading after years of neglect. Heartwarming with wonderful characters, a great storyline, and a beautiful ending.
One of the most moving books I have, and will ever read. I can't even find words to describe it. WAY better than the movie, too.
This is a great choice for any book club. Every character is identifiable. It is a great book on family, friendship, and culture. It was very emotional and triumphant.
I read and pondered about the emotions circling the characters. It's heart breaking to see them suffer for a long long time. This book is a must read. Be aware that the book is waaaayyy better than the movie.
A beautiful, haunting, and heart breaking novel. The first book I have ever read that made me cry. A real page turner, and a highly praised book that totally lived up to the hype. This is story of betrayal, sorrow, guilt, hope, and redemption. Highly recommended.

Add a SummaryWhen Amir and Hassan were young boys, Amir witnessed something horrible and did not step in to stop it. This causes him horrible guilt and ruins the friendship he had with Hassan. Years later, he has a chance to redeem himself, by returning to Afghanistan. But her realizes that this country is not the one he remembers from his childhood.
The story of friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul, Afghanistan and the act of cowardice that haunts one of them until he is able to atone for it, years later.
Two boys grow up together in Afghanistan. Amir is the son of a wealthy man, and Hassan is the son of their Hazara servant. Although the boys are initially inseparable, when Amir fails his unswervingly loyal friend, their friendship falls apart. This book follows Amir's life in the aftermath of this failure, during his quest "to be good again".
This is a book about a child growing up in Afghanistan under the Taliban rule.

"What a tight little sugary cunt she had!" the soldier was saying.
pg. 202 "There is only what you do and what you don't do," I said. Rahim Khan laughed. "You sounded like your father just now. I miss him so much. But it is God's will, Amir jan. It really is." pg. 231 "I feel like a tourist in my own country," I said, taking in a goatherd leading a half-dozen emaciated goats along the side of the road. Farid snickered. Tossed his cigarette. "You still think of this place as your country?" pg. 244 Maneuvering the steering wheel with his mangled hand, he pointed to mud-hut villages along the way where he'd known people years before. Most of those people, he said, were either dead or in refugee camps in Pakistan. "And sometimes the dead are luckier", he said.
"Sad stories make good books."
"There is a way to be good again."

Arizona Muse, Freja Beha Erichsen Shoot What Appears to Be the Spring 2012 Chloe Campaign (Updated)
>> Over the weekend, rumored girlfriends Freja Beha Erichsen and Arizona Muse were snapped doing a photo shoot outside the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, wearing head-to-toe Chloe. Muse was sporting her newly chopped shag — "The thing that kind of started me was that bob — and I felt like it was time for a change," she told Into the Gloss of the new haircut — in what appears to be the upcoming Spring 2012 campaign shoot.
UPDATE:Chloe has confirmed that Erichsen and Muse are indeed the faces of the Chloe Spring 2012 ads. [@Chloe_fashion]
Freja Beha Erichsen to Be Replaced For Spring 2012 Chanel Campaign
>> After five consecutive Chanel campaigns — ending with the Fall 2011 set styled by Carine Roitfeld — it sounds like Freja Beha Erichsen's reign has come to an end. Roitfeld and Karl Lagerfeld reteamed over the weekend at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, where Lagerfeld shot Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls for the Spring 2012 Chanel ads, which are "all about athletics and the sea. . . . It's very modern sportif and in black and white," according to the designer. He is now headed to Rome to shoot Fendi's Spring 2012 campaign with Arizona Muse, who will pose on the city's streets at dawn and dusk. She replaces Anja Rubik, who has been the face of Fendi for the past four seasons. [WWD]
Chanel Gets Into Face Tattoos and Pink Eyebrows
Just when you thought face tattoos would forever be the realm of Mike Tyson, Chanel comes along and makes them not only haute, but also elegant and even . . . pretty? For its upcoming Cocomation campaign, the fashion house released these cool making-of photos with surpassingly beautiful Lagerfeld favorite Freja Beha Erichsen getting the iconic locked-C logo applied under her eyes in temporary tattoo "tears." Freja has several other extremely cool looks for the campaign, including pink eyebrows and a bombshell Marilyn Monroe look. It might just be the edgiest Chanel campaign yet. See the rest of her looks below.
See Rumored Girlfriends Freja Beha Erichsen and Arizona Muse Together in New Editorial
>> Arizona Muse and Freja Beha Erichsen inspired rumors of a romantic relationship during the couture shows last month, and over the past few months, they have been captured embracing by Terry Richardson and featured together in two different Karl Lagerfeld-lensed editorials. Now, they pair up again for Mario Testino and Vogue UK's September 2011 issue in a shoot inspired by the Dutch Masters which Alexandra Shulman says "earns its place among Vogue classics." Beha Erichsen also serves as the magazine's September 2011 cover girl.
Freja Beha Erichsen Gets Catty For Chanel's Fall Campaign
Freja Beha Erichsen is no stranger to starring in Chanel ads — this is her fifth season modeling for the brand — but this Fall calls for even more significance. Karl Lagerfeld shot the ad but the twist comes in with Carine Roitfeld, former Vogue Paris editor, as the stylist. Take a look at the first set of leaked ads, featuring Freja decked out in a feline-inspired 'fit, complete with face masks, pointy ears, and lace.
Freja Beha Erichsen Goes Feline in New Chanel Fall 2011 Ads
>> The tour de dress-up continues for Freja Beha Erichsen in a couple of newly-released Chanel Fall 2011 ads. The first leaked set of images showed Beha Erichsen in a Chanel eyemask or a lace veil and panties, but now the campaign goes more playful — Freja as cat, with Chanel's signature camellias as her ears — definitely the mark of campaign stylist Carine Roitfeld on the brand.

A Preview of the Carine Roitfeld-Styled Fall 2011 Chanel Ad Campaign
>> The Fall 2011 Chanel ad campaign has the same photographer as always — Karl Lagerfeld — and Freja Beha Erichsen back for her fifth consecutive campaign, but thanks to new campaign stylist Carine Roitfeld, the set of images — previewed at the Cannes Film Festival and shot at a photobooth in Paris — has a decidedly edgier feel than seasons past.
Karl Lagerfeld Premieres Series of Magnum Ice Cream Commercials Starring Rachel Bilson and Baptiste Giabiconi
>> Last night, Karl Lagerfeld hit New York to debut a series of commercials he directed to promote the European ice cream brand Magnum in the United States. The three minute-long spots feature Rachel Bilson — portraying a fashion model, an art student, and a ballet dancer — as well as Baptiste Giabiconi, but Lagerfeld himself makes no appearances.
A waiter carrying a Diet Coke-filled stemmed glass on a tray followed Lagerfeld around the premiere party last night, as did his bodyguard Sebastien Jondeau. So why did Lagerfeld team up with Magnum, even though he admits he doesn't eat sugar? "I like advertising. I love my job in fashion. I love my job as a photographer, but making films was something I hadn't done. If I was isolated in one job, I would get bored." Besides, he adds: "I would eat ice cream if I could. I made advertisements for Dom Perignon Champagne, and I don't drink alcohol. After all, I'm a dress designer and I don't wear dresses."
Bilson, meanwhile, estimated that probably had around 25 Magnum bars during the course of filming, which was done over three days in Paris on a soundstage and at the Folies Bergere. Lagerfeld said that he was given creative freedom, with the advice that the films' content should be "nothing very sexual," and the budget for a crew of at least 80 people.
When asked whether there was anything he would not lend his name to, Lagerfeld replied: "I hate the idea of the politically correct, because it is very demode, but I would not make advertisements for something related to meat. Meat, no; fur, yes. I don't think I would do advertising for condoms, even if it has the same name here [Magnum]."
As for the rumor circulating that he is working on a fragrance called "Paper Passion," intending it to smell like books, Lagerfeld said it's not happening. And his next film to debut is a 30-minute movie, "The Tale of a Fairy," starring Freja Beha Erichsen, Anna Mouglalis, Amanda Harlech, and Kristen McMenamy, and to be shown during the Chanel Cruise 2012 presentation in Cap d'Antibes.
