FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution has called up five players from the team's Under-18 and Under-16 squads for the team's MLS Reserve Division match against D.C. United on Saturday, March 26. The following players will be called up:
- U16 forward Yannick Kabala (Manchester, N.H.)
- U16 midfielder Dominik Machado (Attleboro, Mass.)
- U18 forward Fabio Machado, Jr. (Leominster, Mass.)
- U18 midfielder/forward Michael Rincon (Malden, Mass.)
- U16 defender Mitch Taintor (Storrs, Conn.)
Additionally, Home Grown player Diego Fagundez (Leominster, Mass.) has also been called up to the reserve team after spending the winter and spring with the club's youth squads. This will mark his first experience with the senior team after training exclusively with the youth program so far in 2011.
The five youth players are expected to see action along with current members of the Revolution in the match and will play against players from D.C. United. By playing with professionals, they will not be jeopardizing their collegiate eligibility because of a recent NCAA rule change for soccer players.
Saturday night's Reserve Division match is closed to the public, and will immediately follow the Revolution-United match at 4:30 p.m. at Gillette Stadium.

Now that the Mayan apocalypse is over, and it's 2013 and everything, what can we expect next? —Troy, Delaware, via Twitter
Predicting the future? That's no problem, folks! It's pretty safe to say that the world is going to stick around, at least for another year. How's that for starters? Need more? Here we go.
See the top 10 celeb quotes of 2012
1. That Royal Baby's Gonna Pop Out: Prince William and wife Kate Middleton haven't said exactly when Britain's future king or queen is due. However, when the couple announced their pregnancy in early December, they indicated that the Duchess of Cambridge wasn't yet out of her first trimester. So, while we're not likely looking at a spring baby, we are definitely looking at a 2013 baby. And all the fuss that goes along with that.
2. Next-Generation Video Games Will Arrive: Or, at least one will, courtesy of — if you believe the rumors — the Xbox people. Embedded touchscreens? Head-mounted displays? More streaming TV options than ever before? The rumors are already flying. Better start saving now; we hear that a new console (or two) should be coming by the 2013 holidays.
3. Brangelina's Getting Married: Well, we assume they are. No use announcing an intent to marry unless you're ready to go ahead and do it in the next year-ish. And when you're an obscenely rich couple like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, you can pretty much marry wherever, whenever, at whatever budget you want. No matter how these two say "I do," it's gonna be huge news in 2013.
4. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Will Marry — or Break Up: Something is going down with those two in 2013, and you can bet it's going to more than a new haircut. Cyrus hasn't seemed to be in any hurry to get to the altar. In fact she's said she wants a "long engagement." That could just mean that she wants to do things right. Or it could mean that, at 20, she really isn't ready for a lifelong commitment. Time, and 2013, will tell.
5. R&B Will Make a Comeback: If 2012 was the year of dubstep and dance, next year will see a rise in R&B sounds, music insiders tell me. The Weeknd, Miguel, Solange... look for their influence to permeate mainstream sounds next year. You heard it here first!
What do you think is in store for 2013?

Beaumont man shot dead at Houston's Bush Airport
UPDATE: Houston police just released this portion of Carnell Marcus Moore's suicide note that they say was written on Hotel Derek stationery:
"Here in the last hour, I yield to mercy when this could have turned bad. Jehovah found a path to my heart, that love would conquer anger. The monster within me was getting stronger and while I could not save myself I could spare others. [redacted] Peace is within sight. I ask that authorities handle my disposal – Carnell Marcus Moore"
A Beaumont man shot and killed Thursday at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport was a reserved person of few words, neighbors said.
But 29-year-old Carnell Marcus Moore wrote of death on his Facebook page earlier Thursday and, according to Houston police, apparently left a suicide note that said he was having trouble controlling his "monster inside."
Moore was killed in gunfire about 1:35 p.m. near a Terminal B ticket counter. It is unclear who fired the fatal shot.
HPD spokesman Kese Smith said an armed male in his early 30s entered the airport and fired at least once into the ceiling just inside the doors of the terminal's pre-security departure area.
Hearing the gunfire, a Homeland Security Investigations agent came out of his office and confronted Moore, ordering him to put down the gun, Smith said.
When Moore refused the command, the officer pulled out his weapon and the man turned toward him, Smith said.
The agent fired once, and Moore shot himself - apparently at the same time, according to Smith. Moore died at the scene. No one else was injured.
Tricia Bentley, a spokeswoman for the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, said an autopsy was expected to be performed on Friday.
Hours after the shooting, officers were at Moore's home in Beaumont, carrying out computer equipment, a neighbor said.
Marietta Kidd said she looked out a window toward the duplex where Moore lived and counted seven unmarked cars in her parking lot about the time school let out on Thursday. Kidd said her father owns the home and that her sister is Moore's neighbor.
Kidd, who owns a beauty salon on the same street where Moore lived, said he had been in the duplex for several years and that he never talked much.
Moore spoke of death on his Facebook page three times since Wednesday.
'When I go to meet God'
The first status update was posted nearly 24 hours before he was killed. "I recently had the chance of staring death in the face, and she was beautiful," he wrote at 1:26 p.m. Wednesday.
About 12:45 a.m. Thursday, he proclaimed that "This Life Will Crash Tomorrow!"
And about 12:42 p.m., he posted: "45 minutes and 59 seconds in God's Shadow and Time Stops."
His timeline also includes a video of a strained and sorrowful spoken word piece called "When I go to meet God."
The lyrics include: "What makes a mother's son decide that death is better than tomorrow?" and "This is not a life worth living. I already ruined it."
According to his Facebook profile, Beaumont was Moore's hometown, though he finished high school in a Georgia community south of Atlanta. He graduated from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning program at the Lamar Institute of Technology.
'He was a good guy'
Colleagues remembered Moore as an affable and kind man.
"He was a friendly guy who talked to everybody," said Tim Knobloch, 29, one of Moore's tech school classmates in 2004 and later his co-worker at a Beaumont air conditioning company. "He was a good guy."
The shooting scene was chaotic, passengers and employees reported.
Tina Gellinger, a 40-year-old Kansan who went outside between flights, was coming into Terminal B when she heard shouts to "run!"
She and others scrambled toward elevators and hid behind walls as gunfire rang out.
Nearby at the McDonald's in the food court, employee Tiffany Rigmaiden heard two shots, then shouting, then three more shots. The 23-year-old said a Transportation Security Administration agent running by told her and other workers to get down. Instead, they escaped through a back door and took an elevator to a lower floor.
According to Houston Airport System spokeswoman Darian Ward, Houston police and the FBI "interviewed quite a few people." She added that there was no "visible damage" to the facility.
The incident also interrupted flights.
Terminal B, where mostly smaller, regional jets land and take off, was shut down for hours. Incoming passengers were rerouted to enter through terminals C and E. At one point, a ground stop prevented planes from landing at Terminal B.
Mike Glenn and Cindy George contributed to this report. Guiseppe Barranco reported from Beaumont.

The Dirt - Motley Crue
Splendour In The Grass
The most influential, enduring, and iconic metal band of the 1980's reveals everything a tell-all of epic proportions.
This unbelievable autobiography explores the rebellious lives of four of the most influential icons in American rock history.
Motley Crue was the voice of a barely pubescent Generation X, the anointed high priests of backward-masking pentagram rock, pioneers of Hollywood glam, and the creators of MTV's first "power ballad." Their sex lives claimed celebrities from Heather Locklear to Pamela Anderson to Donna D'Errico. Their scuffles involved everyone from Axl Rose to 2LiveCrew. Their hobbies have included collecting automatic weapons, cultivating long arrest records, pushing the envelope of conceivable drug abuse, and dreaming up backstage antics that would make Ozzy Osbourne blanch with modesty.
Provocatively written and brilliantly designed, this book includes over 100 photos, many never before published, for the most exciting and insightful look ever into the Crue.

Rangers claim southpaw hurler Mills
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Rangers have claimed left-handed pitcher Brad Mills off outright waivers from the Angels as possible Triple-A depth for their starting rotation. To make room for Mills on the 40-man roster, the Rangers placed pitcher Neftali Feliz on the 60-day disabled list.
Mills is out of options, which means the Rangers would also have to get him through outright waivers before they can send him to Triple-A. That's what the Angels were trying to do.
Mills has spent most of the past four years in Triple-A, where he made 77 starts and two relief appearances while compiling a record of 26-33 with a 4.68 ERA. He averaged 9.6 hits, 3.1 walks and 7.9 strikeouts per nine innings. He has also made 10 starts and five relief appearances at the Major League level with the Blue Jays and Angels with a record of 3-3 and a 7.76 ERA.
The Angels acquired him for catcher Jeff Mathis in the offseason.

Fiona Apple, Maude Maggart Duet On 'Middle Of A Riddle' (Song Premiere)
Coy love songs are not usually Fiona Apple's forte, but she's a natural on a new version of the vintage tune "I'm in the Middle of a Riddle" that Apple shares with her sister, the cabaret singer Maude Maggart. The song, premiering today on Speakeasy, is part of "Sweetheart 2014," a Valentine's Day compilation of classic love songs recorded by the likes of Jim James, Beck, Vampire Weekend, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and more.
The Austrian composer Anton Karas, best known for his zither-based soundtrack to the 1949 film noir "The Third Man," wrote the song, which he first recorded with singer Kay Armen in 1950 during a stay in the United States (hear their version here).
Apple and Maggart sing gorgeous intertwining vocal harmonies in their take on the song, a delicate, elegant rendition that hews close to the sensibility of Karas' waltz-time original version.
Listen to "I'm in the Middle of a Riddle."

He looks like a elder statesman and speaks with the charming accents of a middle European fairytale kingdom, but the whole world knows him as the Great Dane. Victor Borge's unique combination of concert pianist and sit-down comedian - an intoxicating mixture of melodies and mirth - has made him a living legend for most of the 20th century. His ability to puncture the pretensions of humanity in general, musicians in particular, whether he's lampooning stuffy conductors or grandiose concert pianists, remains undiminished, seventy years after his professional debut. As every good musician and comic knows, it's all in the timing and Borge is a master. He holds the Guinness Book of Records citation for longest-running one-man show in the history of the theater, with 849 performances on Broadway of his "Comedy in Music," which began in 1953. For the four decades that followed there was never a theater season, when the name Victor Borge didn't light up a Broadway marquee.
"Victor Borge is world-famous as the funniest pianist on Earth," declared The Washington Post a few years ago. And he gets as many laughs at the keyboard as under it. Borge has made an art of finding excuses not to play the piano--falling off the bench, swatting imaginary flies, stopping to reprimand a late-arriving audience member, suddenly remembering a joke or anecdote. "But when Borge finally does perform," reports The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, " it's the real thing: music-making of surpassing warmth and charm."
Ninety years ago, he was born Borge Rosenbaum in Copenhagen, Denmark. He started playing the piano when he was only three years old. He was hailed as a prodigy and given a scholarship to the Royal Danish Music Conservatory, making his orchestral debut as a soloist with the Copenhagen Philharmonic when he was 10. In public recitals, he was a serious musician, but at school, in clubs, and at family gatherings he played more humor than humoresque. His incredible wit combined with his musical ability established him quickly as a one-of-a-kind artist. Word got out, and by his early twenties Borge was established as one of the leading film and stage personalities of Scandinavia.
With the rise of the Nazis to power, Borge was blacklisted because of his biting barbs about Hitler and the Nazi party. He escaped from Finland on the SS American Legion in 1940, the last American passenger ship to leave northern Europe before the start of World War II. When he arrived in the United States, Borge knew no English. Yet that same year he started a year-long run on the "Kraft Music Hall" radio hour with Bing Crosby. Borge discovered a gold mine of humor in his struggle with the English language, and the immigrant's nightmare was transformed into one of the most enduring and endearing parts of the act.
In 1963 he helped to establish the Thanks to Scandinavia scholarship fund in gratitude for the heroic deeds of the Scandinavians who, while risking their own lives, saved thousands during the Holocaust. The multimillion-dollar fund has already brought more than a thousand students and scientists to the United States from Scandinavian countries for study and research.
In recent years he has added opera and symphony conducting engagements to his heavy stage and television commitments. Among others, the National Symphony, New York Philharmonic, London, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Detroit, and the Royal Copenhagen orchestras have taken a beating under his baton.
He has been knighted by the five Nordic countries and honored by both the U.S. Congress and the United Nations.
Reflecting on his success, Borge has said: "Basically there is no difference between Scandinavian humor and American humor because when you play a thing upside down you don't have to have a language to do that." His art, though, is a language all understand--the conservatory-trained and the first-time concertgoer, young people and grownups, in concert halls around the world.
"If I knew what the secret was, it wouldn't be a secret," mused Victor Borge.

Everyone knows that Chesapeake Bay is in trouble -- fewer are aware of persistent and dangerous contaminants polluting our water long before it gets to the Bay. Rivers of Worry asks the central question: "Is the water safe for human health?"
The scenic Severn River on the Bay's western shore is a typical urban-suburban waterway. Many enjoy the lifestyle -- fishing, boating and swimming. But because of high fecal bacteria counts after a hard rain, officials advise everyone to stay out of the water here and across the state for at least two days -- children among those at highest risk. The dangers are highlighted by the story of a resident who acquired a life-threatening infection from fecal bacteria after splashing in the creek behind his house.
On the Eastern Shore, public and private wells are the source of drinking water for all the Delmarva Peninsula. Depending on the area, water samples show a range of natural and human-caused contaminants: nitrates, pesticides, herbicides, arsenic. Most are found only in trace amounts, but little is known about the possible health effects of their accumulation or interaction.
Intense efforts and resources have been dedicated to clean up and restore the Potomac – known as "The Nation's River." In spite of waste water upgrades, raw sewage is still being discharged during major storms into the Potomac and its main tributary, the Anacostia River. Cost of fixing outdated infrastructure - billions. Meanwhile, researchers on the Potomac suspect that "emerging contaminants" like pharmaceuticals and anti-bacterial chemicals are causing deviations and disease in fish.
While the effort and costs of addressing water quality may seem overwhelming, they are exceeded only by the price of ignoring the health of our most vital resource – water.

Gail Mitchell's Cat Mat
Every selvage quilter has her own signature style, made up of her choices of selvages, how wide she makes each strip, and how much of the printed fabric she reveals. Gail's style is awesome; using practically no printed part of the fabric, those color windows really stand out! I love it. Her kitten loves it too.
Visit Gail's blog at: http://www.quilt-knit-run-sew.blogspot.com/.

Why Today's Cool Kids Might Skip Abercrombie and Fitch
Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries is still feeling the heat after a quote from an interview he gave to Salon magazine way back in 2006 brought so much bad press to the company last week.
In light of Jeffries' half-apology, posted on A&F's Facebook page, it's easy to understand why many are outraged.
"While I believe this 7 year old, resurrected quote has been taken out of context, I sincerely regret that my choice of words was interpreted in a manner that has caused offense," Jeffries writes.
"A&F is an aspirational brand that, like most specialty apparel brands, targets its marketing at a particular segment of customers. However, we…are strongly committed to diversity and inclusion….We are completely opposed to any discrimination, bullying, derogatory characterizations or other anti-social behavior based on race, gender, body type or other individual characteristics."

- The Artist
- From the mid-1920s to the early-1940s, Art Deco art was ubiquitous. Many of America's most famous architectural landmarks, such as New York's Chrysler Building and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, still bear the stamp of modernist design. In this century, Disney artist Mike Kungl has helped revive the classic style with his widely acclaimed artwork, infusing it with a vitality and relevance, attracting the attention of Hollywood and art collectors from around the world.
A dedicated lover of art deco, both from its original period and reintroduction in the 1950s, Kungl is best known for his contemporary interpretations of nostalgic images. His vintage style is filled with a radiant color palette and a stylish streamlined twist, having studied the great graphic designers and architects of the 20th century, as well as traditional artists that informed his own aesthetic. He is not only passionate about his painting, but also dedicated to creative process, drawing inspiration from many different places and artists. "There is no artist living or dead that I haven't drawn inspiration from. We all rely on one another to keep our industry alive," he said. It's this passion that makes fans and collectors extremely loyal to his work, at the same time constantly spurring him on in new directions.
Beyond his original art, Kungl has also created work for Disney Fine Art. In 2006, Kungl was selected as an official interpretive artist of the Disney Fine Art program, published by Collectors Editions, and has built a loyal following of fans who love his fresh take on Disney. Combining his unique artistic style, which he has termed "21st Century Art Deco," with classic Disney characters and stories, Kungl has built upon Disney's artistic legacy by applying his unique Deco twist his collection of Disney works which are renowned and collected around the world - "You're used to seeing classic Disney characters out of the classic movie scenes. Well, if you look at some of the Disney work that I've done, it really is Mickey on a motorcycle in a vintage format or an art deco-style, something you haven't seen before." He also contributed to Disneyland Paris, designing images for what is essentially the downtown part of the park. Huge murals and bas reliefs grace the biggest featured building. To be seen every day by Disney fans from all over the world, to raise an entire environment to an artistic experience, is an honor not lost on Kungl. It has led to him traveling all over the world for shows in galleries and events from Paris to Tokyo and back home.
The California native knew he was an artist by the time he was four, when he used the family sofa as his canvas and his mother's lipstick as his paint. Eighteen years later, Kungl found more appropriate canvases, having graduated from the Spokane Falls College of Art and returned to his home in Southern California. With a graphic arts education in advertising, he began plying his trade at Cochrane Chase Livingston, creating and producing award-winning logos and package designs for Fortune 500 companies like Panasonic, Johnson and Johnson, Toshiba, Sony, Warner Bros. Television, Bank of America, and Nissan Motors. Soon, Kungl turned in his pens and brushes for a computer and opened his own freelance design, illustration and art director firm, creating logo and package designs, illustrations, advertising, 3D animation and multimedia CD games.
After two decades of commercial success in advertising, Kungl left his firm and turned his attention to fine art full-time. Finding himself attracted to original 1930s posters—specifically that of the Normandie by European graphic painter A.M. Cassandre—and drawing inspiration from American industrial designers Raymond Loewy and Henry Dreyfuss. Unable to purchase the original but wanting to own something similar, Kungl began creating Art Deco and Modern-influenced art, prints and posters. Deeply influenced by these designers' dramatic take on the styles, Kungl elaborates on his attraction to Art Deco - "Art deco is a movement that took place between 1920 in 1945. (The aesthetic is) very streamlined. Graphic. Simple. Elegant. And Bold. I think I just gravitated towards that just by nature...When I was going to college and started studying art history, these things became relevant as to what my native self gravitated towards."
And yet Kungl has created a look that is uniquely his, utilizing nostalgic images of old photographs and vintage ads to bring a vitality and freshness for a distinct art deco style all his own. Starting from a sketch, he then uses ink to fill in and create curves that integrates his everyday objects. Kungl likes to incorporate chrome and metallic elements into his work to give them an Art Deco feel, and his goal in creating each piece is to have fun designing his work and for his audience to be as entertained as he is - "(I) produce work that I'm personally going to have fun designing and painting," he said. "When it's complete, my goal is having the audience be just as entertained looking at it as I was creating it."
His own spin on the Art Deco/streamline movement evolved quickly into his new career, never suspecting that success on the West coast would lead to recognition on another. Soon into his new career, the California artist was selected to create the official artwork for Miami Beach's 25th annual Art Deco Weekend. Ever since, his career has skyrocketed. In fact, the Miami honor is just one of many in a succession of developments that highlight Kungl's growing reputation as a well-known collectible artist across the country. In addition to a burgeoning following in the United States, Kungl's works are widely collected around the world with sales of his images increasing throughout Europe, Japan and Australia. His work is featured regularly in magazine articles, books, and on television.
Today, Kungl is among the world's finest working artists in the Art Deco tradition. He works in his high-tech studio shaping and refining each of his meticulously crafted images, creating vintage art, prints and posters with a modern flair that is uniquely his own. He also designs ceramics such as plates, mugs, coasters and other home decor that has led to him being recognized as a collectible artist. As a result, his art can be found in private, public and corporate collections, and at retailers around the world. In addition, he has done work for many well-known companies through his design studio, and his art can frequently be seen on television shows including Ashton Kutcher's Beauty and the Geek series, CSI, Gilmore Girl's and CBS' Big Bang Theory. His client list features some of the biggest companies in the world, including - Warner Bros., Toyota, Toshiba, Superior Coffee, Sony Pictures Television, Seagate, Sara Lee, Resorts Hotels and Casino, Ralph's Supermarkets, Radius Monitors, Polly's Pies, PhotoShop WOW Books, Panasonic, Nissan Motors, NBC Universal Television, Miro Displays, Marvel, Lotus Software, Leader Technologies, Johnson and Johnson, Interplay Entertainment, Ingram Micro, Hasbro Games, Global Scuba Network, Dreamworks Entertainment, Disney Fine Art, City of Miami Beach Florida, City of Laguna Beach California, Buy.com, Bank of America and Acme Archives.

Dave Dub
Dave Dub's The Treatment is hip-hop at its bare bones. It's the philosophical twin of wrecked stoner-rock bands like Sleep, a group Dave frequently shared unlikely billing with, in the early 1990s hometown of San Jose CA. That's how bad his psychedelic hell-ride weirded out the rest of the "San Hopeless" rap community (also the original home of Stones Throw itself). Later, he'd ooze into opening slots for black metal and punk bands, even joining a punk band shortly before recording The Treatment.
Despite plenty of communication with the proto-Stones Throw crew Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf, there was never any official deal, and Dub confined his particular brand of madness to cassette tape only.
From '92 on, he says he abandoned even caring about commercial rap and detached himself from the genre. In '99, he abandoned the U.S.A. and split to Jamaica to ride out Y2K. He came back illegally and secretly, reuniting after almost a decade with his original collaborator and current producer Tape Mastah Steph.
Steph convinced him to go back not just to the roots but down to the actual dirt itself and record an album with nothing but what they used back in the day - an SP-1200 and a vintage Ensoniq EPS. The result was The Treatment, Dub's full-length Stones Throw debut—a horror film as refracted through the mind of a man who's seen it all and knows too much.

NICOSIA (Reuters) - Cyprus's new President Nicos Anastasiades vowed on Thursday to work for a swift conclusion of a bailout for the cash-starved island, ruling out debt or deposit "haircuts" for the Mediterranean nation threatened with a financial meltdown.
Economic turmoil engulfing Cyprus, one of the euro zone's smallest economies, could test the European Union's mettle in a crisis threatening to spill beyond the tiny island's shores and unravel nascent recovery in the bloc.
Cyprus has been waiting for an economic bailout from the EU and the International Monetary Fund for the past eight months, hobbled by its banks' exposure to debt-crippled Greece and fiscal slippage.
The disbursement of aid has been held up by concerns the island could barely afford a bailout bill which might equal its domestic output, and worries in some countries, particularly Germany, that Cyprus lags in financial transparency.
"We are seeking the solidarity of our (EU) partners, and within that framework we will negotiate for the conclusion of a loan agreement the soonest possible," Anastasiades said in his investiture speech to Cyprus's parliament.
Aid to Cyprus is expected to take center stage when eurozone finance ministers meet in Brussels on March 4. A deal is anticipated at the end of March, a senior euro zone official said.
In one of his first appointments, Cyprus will be represented by new finance minister Michael Sarris, an economist with good contacts in Europe, as well as in the U.S., where he was a senior manager for the World Bank for three decades.
Conservative Anastasiades, 66, swept to victory in a presidential runoff on February 24, armed with a strong mandate to conclude desperately needed aid from the EU and the IMF.
Cyprus sought aid last June, after an EU-sanctioned decision to write down Greek sovereign debt blew a 4.5 billion euro - or 25 percent of GDP - hole in balance sheets of the island's two largest lenders which then turned to the state for support.
The island has itself been shut out of international financial markets for almost two years because of the implied high interest on its traded debt - even though that has tumbled in recent weeks to an 18 month low of 9.20 percent on a 10 year benchmark bond on Thursday.
Amid the worst recession in 40 years, the bank aid figure has since snowballed, and the island could need up to 17 billion euros in aid for both its banks and for fiscal needs, almost equalling the size of its economy.
"We are not seeking special treatment, but we are asking we be treated fairly," Anastasiades told lawmakers.
Cyprus has an executive system of government. Investiture takes place in parliament, in the same chamber where Britain formally handed over sovereignty to the former British colony in 1960. Anastasiades's term is for five years.
Talks with lenders have been overshadowed by concerns the bailout could be too big to ever pay off, giving rise to speculation of how to make it manageable, including debt or even deposit haircuts, or paying back less to investors.
"I want to be absolutely clear. Absolutely no reference to a haircut on public debt or deposits will be tolerated. Such an issue isn't even up for discussion," Anastasiades said.
But doubts persist. ECB lawmaker Benoit Coeure told Reuters on Wednesday that depositors in Cypriot banks should not be forced to take losses across the board as part of a euro zone rescue, but did not rule out making the biggest depositors share some of the burden.
Investor service Moody's said on Thursday that while the election of Anastasiades boosted chances of a financial deal, it did not alter its own probability of the island defaulting.
The recapitalisation needs of the island's domestic banks remained uncertain, and Cyprus's debt burden could rise dramatically to unsustainable levels, Moody's said.
"There is a 50 percent chance that the sheer size of Cyprus's anticipated debt load will eventually compel authorities to pursue every avenue for debt reduction, including private-sector losses on Cypriot debt," Moody's said in a statement.

STOP SUSAN WILLIAMSStarring: Susan Anton, Ray Walston, Michael Swan, Marj Dusay and Albert PaulsenBeautiful young newspaper photographer Susan Williams was after the men who killed her brother, a reporter for the same newspaper that she worked for. He had been on the verge of exposing a fiendish international conspiracy to set off a nuclear bomb near Camp David while the world's leadeers were attending a peace conference there. Masterminding the plot was importer Anthony Korf, whose evil henchmen, Gold Tooth and Ti, tried to kill Susan in virtually every episode.
THE SECRET EMPIREStarring: Geoffrey Scott, Tiger Williams, Carlene Watkins, Peter Breck, Pamela Brull and Mark LenardIn the 1880s, Cheyenne Marshal Jim Donner was trying to track down a group of gold-shipment-stealing desperadoes when he stumbled upon the entrance to the hidden underground city of Chimera. The people of Chimera were visitors from another planet, living in futuristic splendor marred only by the dictatorial rule of the evil Thorval. Struggling to free their people from Thorval's tyrannical reign were the Partisans. Donner tried both to help the Partisans overthrow Thorval and to stop the gold robberies on the surface.
THE CURSE OF DRACULAStarring: Michael Nouri, Stephen Johnson, Carol Baxter, Antoinette Stella, Mark Montgomery, Bever-Leigh Banfield and Louise SorelCount Dracula was living in present-day San Francisco and teaching a course in European History at South Bay College. One of the advantages of his teaching post was that it brought him in contact with attractive young students who could be turned into vampires. Seeking to destroy Dracula was Kurt von Helsing, grandson of Prof. von Helsing, a former nemesis of the count.

Talk about some silly shit..
From Huffington Post:
LOS ANGELES -- A man wanted for 13 years on attempted murder charges in Los Angeles was captured in Colorado after someone called police to report he was urinating on a wall outside a KFC restaurant.
Miguel Sanchez, 59, initially gave officers a false name when he was arrested Wednesday, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department. After he was fingerprinted, police discovered his identity and that he had a $2 million warrant in California.
"Kentucky Fried Chicken called and said he was peeing on the wall," said Colorado Springs police Lt. Dan Lofgren. "On the run for 13 years, and then they get caught for being stupid."
Sanchez is accused of stabbing someone multiple times after an argument in 2000, then stabbing a second person before running away.
Los Angeles police Sgt. Albert Gonzalez said the crime was classified as domestic violence, and that one victim was male and the other female. He declined to provide more details.
Prosecutors filed four felony charges against Sanchez in 2000: two counts of attempted murder, one count of aggravated mayhem and one count of assault with a deadly weapon, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.
Gonzalez said LAPD officers were working on extraditing Sanchez from Colorado.
How in the hell do you successfully manage to keep yo ass out of jail for 13 years... THIRTEEN FREAKIN' YEARS!!!! Only to get snatched up for pissing on the side of a building?! Couldn't just step inside and piss, huh?..
But, hey. One less mofo that's attempted a murder (or two) on the streets.

SKF Bengaluru - taking Care of every individual's special abilities
Just because you cannot read does not mean that you cannot tell stories. This is the point of view from which SKF's collaboration with Samarthanam Trust takes off. No matter what challenge or impairment one has, it does not need to define them. It is the abilities – what you can actually do that defines an individual.
The participation from SKF enables interactive workshops to help the physically challenged in the community to communicate with confidence, face interviews, pep up their personality, and infuse an element of fun and light into their lives.
SKF employees volunteeringSince 2009, SKF Bengaluru has sponsored over 100 students ranging from 15 to 52 years of age, to successfully graduating MS Excel and spoken English courses both by volunteering and with the help of external trainers.
SKF employees join as facilitators to hold periodic workshops and knowledge sharing sessions with the objective to focus on the individual abilities of the participants and enhance their strengths. SKF also offers situation role plays and personal development training to help the students harness their abilities. In the end it is a lot about to be prepared for so called "new age jobs", often carried out by using computers and phones.
After graduation many participants have acquired job in call centres, handloom shops, as receptionist or teaching at public schools.
About Samarthanam TrustSamarthanam Trust for the especially abled was established in 1997 by three visually impaired graduates, with a strong will to empower other challenged with a life of opportunities, for which they themselves had fought so hard.
Today, Samarthanam supports not only the physically challenged, but also children from underprivileged parts of society. Some of the activities run by the trust today are:
- Free hostels and facilities for about two hundred children.
- "Computer Cell" – teaching visually impaired children to use specially developed software to gather information.
- Free residential high school – Today with a capacity of about 100 students
- Sports and leisure – the students of Samarthanam are keen participants in both chess and cricket, the visually disabled cricket team has toured both England and Pakistan.
- Arts and culture
- Dry waste recycling programme – to contribute to the mitigation of the growing global environmental issues.
- Midday-meal programme – providing meals to children in 52 schools in urban and rural suburbs of Bengaluru.

For those seeking a gift for the car buff on their lists this Father's Day, the new board game Carnology might be just the ticket.
In the game, players progress around the board by identifying pictures of cars made from 1901 to 2012. Not all of the pictures show the entire car; some show just front ends and others show close-ups. The cards are separated by decade.
The game's creator says identifying cars on road trips with his dad was the inspiration for Carnology.
The game is available at www.carnology.com for $29.95 plus $5 shipping to most U.S. locations.
Thanks to Bring a Trailer for bringing this to our attention.

Ezra Satok-Wolman-I Am Hydrogen Necklace and Brooch
At Design Interviews
Interview with Ezra Satok-Wolman : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : The "I Am Hydrogen" concept is inspired by the idea that everything in the Universe began as hydrogen, the basic building block of all matter. This idea is presented within the context of the neoplatonic philosophy of macrocosm and microcosm. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : The aspect I focused on the most was applying the "phyllotaxis" pattern to the surface of a torus. I wanted to present the concept of "Macrocosm and Microcosm", suggesting that the same patterns were present throughout all levels of reality and the the cosmos. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : This particular piece is apart of a series that has been building for several years. This is the first time I have used the reflective materials and plan to continue to find ways to exploit its brilliant properties. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : The concept started being developed in 2011, withe the first piece produced the following year. That being said, months of work went into the design alone. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : This particular design was a personal project. It is an extension of my longstanding fascination with the Golden Ratio, and something I had envisioned for years before actually setting out to make it. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : While all of the jewellery I produce requires an element of design, I work as a jewellery artist, creating pieces for the purpose of expression, rather than solely for commercial reasons. I do not currently work with any companies, or sell my designs. That is not to say that I won't design for a company in the future, but as it stands my work is all in house. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : This particular piece is part of a series and therefore was influenced by the preceding pieces in that series. The rest of the pieces can be seen on our website, www.atelierhg.com .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : My target customer for a design like this would be a collector looking for a special piece. This is a unique handmade piece of jewellery that you won't find elsewhere. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : This design uses a highly reflective thread to produce the pattern on the torus. When lit from certain angle, the material illuminates in a brilliant flash. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : The name comes from a song that I have always loved of the same title. The song was definitely instrumental in my creative process. While I am sure it means different things to different people, to me it is all about the creation of the elements and life itself from the "Primordial Soup" that existed shortly after the big bang and the period known as "Ionization". .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : Model making was the design tool that served me the most through the course of the project. There are times when trial and error is the best way to find the right solution. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : I am quite partial to the reflective "phyllotaxis" pattern. I previously made a version of this piece that "glows in the dark", but the effect created by the pattern on "I Am Hydrogen" when hit by direct light is just amazing. When I have exhibited this piece previously, people are constantly taking pictures with their cellphones because of the effect the camera flash has with the thread in the photos. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : My wife and partner Jennifer worked on this project with me. I wanted to use a hand braided silk for the necklace, and Jennifer is very talented at the traditional Japanese Kumihimo braiding technique. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : While I do use technology in my work, this project was rooted in classical technique. The metalwork was done entirely by hammer, and the embellishments used were all applied by hand. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Ezra Satok-Wolman : I have been participating in design competitions for a number of years. What I liked about the A' Awards was that it was a cross-discipline platform for design, bringing together the best and brightest from around the world. This type of competition is what challenges, inspires and pushes artists and designers to produce their very best work every year. .

Eli Manning completed 23 of 39 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown and didn't throw an interception for the first time this season as the New York Giants picked up their first victory of the year 23-7 over the Vikings on Monday night.
Meanwhile, the Josh Freeman era in Minnesota is off to a rocky start.
Minnesota didn't score offensively against a team that entered the game allowing a league-worst 34.8 points per game. Marcus Sherels 86-yard punt return touchdown was the only score of the night for the Vikings. Adrian Peterson carried just 13 times for 28 yards while Freeman threw 53 passes for a team he's been a part of for less than two weeks.
Needless to say, the result wasn't pretty for the Vikings.
Freeman completed just 20 of those 53 passes for 190 yards with an interception. His passer rating for the night finished a lowly 40.6.
Josh Brown kicked three field goals for the Giants and Manning connected on a 24-yard touchdown pass to Reuben Randle in the second quarter. Peyton Hillis also added a 1-yard touchdown run in his first game with the Giants as Brandon Jacobs and David Wilson were sidelined with injuries.
Not surprisingly for two teams entering the night with just one combined victory, the game was sloppy. There were five fumbles combined and just 463 yards of combined offense.

My kids and I decided to have an adventure this weekend and we walked to Day in the District. Our first destination was the Amon Carter and by the time we arrived, at quarter to ten in the morning, there was already a long line of people waiting to get in to the museum. The morning was beautiful and clear and we sat on the steps of the museum gazing at the sunken garden looking towards downtown waiting for the museum to open. Once it opened we received our wrist bands for admission to all the participating institutions (great idea) and went in, greeted by volunteers and staff eager for their day to begin. After viewing the print exhibition and then seeking out every bronze horse sculpture we could find in the other galleries (and thank you to the guard who directed us to many points of interest ) as well as nibbling on a few cookies while walking by the gift shop, we crossed the street to the Fort Worth Community Art Center. There, we viewed exhibitions by local artists and my kids delighted in making small cardboard houses for Fort Worth's Preservation of the City exhibition, although they were a little miffed that they had to leave their houses since they are so used to taking their creations with them but they endured (thanks to Nicky for helping them out with their houses, they loved it) and we headed to the Cowgirl Museum.
Along the way they had many questions about the Fort Worth Science and History Museum and they could not understand why we couldn't go in, despite my lengthy explanation that construction was still in progress and despite the obvious evidence of workers clearly moving earth and hauling materials to and from the structure. But I reassured them that we would in fact visit when construction was completed and wouldn't that be exciting! Dull stares. To my kids this process is taking far too long. When we arrived at the Cowgirl museum, we were greeted again by staff and volunteers and directed to various places and just missed a play or choir of some kind. My kids liked everything about the museum, the teepee, the chuck wagon, the mechanical horse you can ride in one of the exhibition areas, my daughter loved the bedazzled riding outfits in one of the displays and this was the one museum I really had to drag them out of, they could have played there all day! Luckily the large city bus parked outside the museum was enough of a draw to get them out of there. My daughter and I had already developed some blisters on our heels from our poor choice of footwear so the bus provided a break for our feet and was great fun to ride in as well. By the way, every museum had band aids! And we definitely needed them.
The bus dropped us off between the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern, our next two destinations. We headed to the Modern out of habit and for more band aids and to grab some lunch since it was getting late and three rumbling bellies needed some sustenance. After saying hello to everyone we know at the Modern, we briefly glided through the galleries. My kids know the work in the galleries very well and weren't interested in lingering but pointed out their favorite works as we meandered which is always a fun game for me to overhear. Before leaving the Modern we had to visit Richard Serra's Vortex and make some noise. My kids never get enough time in and around this piece. We took our time listening to everyone else's voices and sounds echo in the Vortex before heading across the street.
We sat outside the Kimbell for a moment to look at all the people strolling down Darnell Street and watch people take pictures in front of the Juan Miro sculpture. Once inside the museum, we followed the flow of human traffic upstairs and wondered towards the paper skull, my son was really looking forward to being inside the skull but the line of people was daunting enough to turn our sights elsewhere. At this point in the day there were so many people and so many activities that we were somewhat overwhelmed and the pond beckoned. We slipped our shoes off and cooled our tired, blistered feet in the pond while watching the costumed coyotes from a play traipse over the Kimbell's lawn.
In that moment of calm, dangling our feet in the pond, (I am always a little hesitant to do this because I consider the entire structure of the Kimbell Art Museum a work of art and to do something as carefree as dip your feet in cold water feels …sort of…. well, wrong!) I thought to myself how wonderful the day was, bright, sunny and pleasant. My kids had made it through many museums with great museum behavior and I marveled at how many families came out for Day in the District. Every museum we entered we were greeted and welcomed. I was struck with how efficient and easy everything operated considering there were hoards of people. Mostly, I was thankful for the day, for all the people who put on plays or played in bands, for all the volunteers who helped at the various museums and for all the museum staff members who gave up their Saturdays with their families to work. And I thought it was a great partnership between all the museums and the transportation department. Lastly, I thought it was a very worthy event to hold for the Fort Worth community. Our only regret was that we didn't get to go to the Log Cabin Village. By 3pm my kids were ready for a nap (I was ready for a nap) and we were down to our last set of band aids and still had to walk home, which just seemed a bit too far when you are hot and tired, even though we were only four blocks away from our house.
My kids and I took a few pictures during our day and these ones below were taken while we were sitting outside the Kimbell gazing towards the Modern. We have many photos like this in our family archives, aimed the wrong way, feet, limbs, shadows, ground… and ultimately, this is a record that next time we go on an adventure we will choose more appropriate footwear!

Fatty liver disease means that you have fat deposits inside your liver. These deposits may keep your liver from doing a good job of removing toxins from your blood. People who drink too much alcohol may also have fat in their liver. When the fatty liver does not come from drinking too much alcohol, it is called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Healthcare providers divide fatty liver disease into two types. If you just have fat but no damage to your liver, the disease is called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). If you have fat in your liver plus signs of inflammation and liver cell damage, the disease is called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
About 1 in 10 to 1 in 5 Americans has NAFLD. About 1 in 50 to 1 in 20 has NASH.
Fatty liver disease is sometimes called a silent liver disease. This is because it can happen without causing any symptoms. Most people with NAFLD live with fat in their liver without getting liver damage. A few people who have fat in their liver develop NASH.
If you have NASH, you may have symptoms. But it could take years for them to show up. Sometimes liver damage from NASH causes long-term (permanent) scarring and hardening of your liver. This is called cirrhosis.
Symptoms from NASH may include:
Severe tiredness
Weight loss
Yellowing of the skin or eyes
Spiderlike blood vessels on the skin
Long-lasting itching
NASH that turns into cirrhosis
could cause symptoms such as retaining extra fluid, internal bleeding, muscle wasting,
and confusion. People with cirrhosis over time may develop liver failure and need a
liver transplant. They are at risk of liver cancer.
Healthcare providers don't know the exact cause of fatty liver disease. But they think that obesity is the most common cause. Obesity in the U.S. has doubled in the last decade. Healthcare providers are seeing a steady rise in fatty liver disease. Children and young adults can get fatty liver disease, but it is most common in middle age.
Risk factors include:
Being overweight
Having high blood fat levels. This is either triglycerides or LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
Having diabetes or prediabetes
Having high blood pressure
When these risk factors happen together, they cause a condition called metabolic syndrome. People with metabolic syndrome often have fatty liver. They also are more likely to have heart disease.
Fatty liver disease can happen without causing any symptoms. It's usually diagnosed when you have routine blood tests to check your liver. Your healthcare provider may suspect fatty liver disease if your test results are abnormal. This is especially true if you are obese. Drinking too much alcohol and having an infection may cause your liver tests to be abnormal.
Your provider often makes the diagnosis by using imaging tests of your liver. Ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may show fat deposits. If your provider isn't sure about the diagnosis, you may need a liver biopsy. A liver biopsy involves putting a long needle through your skin into your liver. The needle removes a small piece of liver tissue. The tissue can be looked at under a microscope.
Here's how your healthcare provider makes the diagnosis:
The diagnosis is NAFLD if you have fat but no inflammation or tissue damage.
The diagnosis is NASH if you have fat, inflammation, and liver damage.
You may be developing cirrhosis if you have a type of scar tissue in your liver called fibrosis.
A special blood test can give your provider an idea of how diseased your liver is. This can often be done without a liver biopsy.
If you have NAFLD without any other health problems, you don't need any special treatment. But making some lifestyle changes can control or reverse the fat buildup in your liver. These may include:
Losing weight
Lowering your cholesterol and triglycerides
Controlling your diabetes
Using medicine, such as over-the-counter (OTC) medicines
Not drinking alcohol
If you have NASH, no medicine is
currently available to reverse the fat buildup in your liver. Sometimes the liver damage
stops or even reverses itself. But for other people, the disease continues to get worse.
If you have NASH, it's important to control any conditions that may contribute to fatty
liver disease. Treatments and lifestyle changes may include:
Exercising more
Taking medicine to reduce cholesterol or triglycerides
Taking medicine to reduce blood pressure
Taking medicine to control diabetes
Limiting OTC medicines
Not drinking alcohol
Seeing a liver specialist
You may need to take certain medicines if you have NASH. These include vitamin E and pioglitazone, a diabetes medicine. These have side effects so discuss them with your healthcare provider. Researchers are studying other treatments such as fish oil.
The main complication of fatty liver disease is that NASH can become cirrhosis. Cirrhosis means permanent scarring and hardening of the liver.
Call your healthcare provider if you have any symptoms that mean fatty liver disease is getting worse. These include fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, weakness, retaining extra fluid, and bleeding.
If you have fatty liver disease, learn as much as you can about your condition. Work closely with your medical team. Because many medicines can harm your liver, always tell all of your healthcare providers about any medicines you are taking. These include OTC medicines, dietary supplements, and vitamins.
Other ways to manage fatty liver disease include maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and continuing to not drink alcohol.
Be sure to ask your healthcare provider about recommended vaccines. These include vaccines for viruses that can cause liver disease.

It was a present from my mother in law. Every time I use it, I call her to thank her. It's my perfect, go to, knife for everything. My only complaint is it won't last forever.

Ratings for Dr. Dan R. Spinato
After two treatments, I needed to up my weights at the gym. My vision also improved. The Oasis System chair is amazing. I also learned that nine of my supplements were not necessary and reduced them to three Standard Process through Dr. Spinato. I have been to many 101 level chiropractors. I am trained in emotional healing, so I now recognize dedication and gifting. Dr. Spinato has both. His evaluation is targeted and informational. His treatments are delicate and effective. Balance is key in life. I am 100% confident in this level 707 Dr. Spinato.
I've been seeing Dr Spinato for 7 months (several visits a month the first few months ; a few times a month after that) for a long-term problem with my neck and upper back/shoulders and tinnitus caused by nerve inflammation in my neck and around my ear. After seeing two other reputable chiropractors who did their best to help me, I found Dr Spinato online when doing a NUCCA search. He has helped me more than any other chiropractor. The most significant change is that I am not having chronic pain anymore in my neck and upper back. For the first time in years, things are starting to shift and heal in my neck and back. Like all healing that is genuine, it takes some time but it has been steady. Dr. Spinato pays attention to your specific issues and is personally commitment to healing you. He is the real deal, highly skilled and dedicated to helping his patients get out of pain and find the source of their pain so they can truly heal and not just need ongoing treatment as a band aid.
I have been going to Dr. Spinato for over twenty years. I was not a believer in chiropractic medicine when I started, but after the medical community couldn't help I was ready to try anything. Needless to say, he helped! I love going in to the office in pain, and walking out pain free. The best part - treatment is for you...he is NOT one of those chiropractors who want to see you three times a week for the rest of your life. Treatment is based on what you need. He is fabulous at his job.
I have had chronic neck problems for over 30 years. A few months ago it became unbearable - I'd wake up in the night from the pain. My mother recommended looking for a "NUCCA" chiropractor, as it had helped her. I googled and found Dr. Spinato. I have been treated by chiropractors my whole life, yet remain a sceptic, suspicious when things become a little too "new age". I was pleased to find Dr. Spinato's approach quite practical and logical. There was an immediate improvement in my condition after the first treatment, and, now nearing the end of therapy, consider myself healed. I highly recommend Dr. Spinato.
Dr Spinato specializes in the NUCCA Procedure and it really helped me think more clearly and my Blood Pressure came down. I truly believe in Dr Spinato and the NUCCA procedure.
My children and I have gone to Dr. Spinato for about 10 years. We love him. He is very gentle. He has helped us through sports, construction jobs and general well being.

How about deer and ducks? Really!
I know we're only into the first official week of summer amid triple-digit temperatures, but believe it or not now is a good time to plug into this year's deer and duck hunting adventures. A little forward planning often goes a long way when opening day finally dawns.
While roaming around the Hill Country the past few days, I've been checking on feeders and deer stands on a couple of ranches I've been hunting on for a number of years. The first stand I pulled up to was not only loaded with yellow jackets, but all sorts of droppings from everything from raccoons to rats. It seems that one of the windows was left open from last season and the critters had taken full advantage of the open shelter.
I'm not that gung-ho on hunting out of stands with windows and doors and comfortable chairs, but inevitably that's what I end up doing a good bit of time during deer season. And over the past few days, I cleaned up a couple of my favorite stands. I also removed the classic Texas deer hunting chairs from a few stands. You probably know what I'm talking about. These are retired office chairs. They are comfortable and have been the scene of many naps. But if left in the blind from one season to the next, hunting chairs tend to go south in quality. That's why now is a good time to take your favorite hunting chairs home for a little maintenance. A little oil to remove squeaks about is the best you can do.
Something else you might consider is buying new chairs for the blind. Used office chairs can be found at garage sales and used furniture stores. Now is a good time to buy. As we get closer to the season opener, prices will increase.
Right about now is also a good time to buy deer blinds at a reduced price. Ditto that for feeders. Actually you can buy now and move them out to the lease just to stay ahead of the game.
Another option is to build a couple of blinds and set 'em up so the deer become acclimated to them. Blinds come in all shapes and sizes. But based on many hours of sitting on stand in the Pineywoods, I've figured out that the best and most comfortable blinds are homemade. Some are glorified tree houses. The thing about factory made blinds is that there is always a glitch with them. For example, the windows are usually too high. Or they are too small. Many are not too sturdy. They squeak, and if you buy a cheap one, it'll usually fall apart. Build your own and it'll likely last many seasons.
Something that I've noticed lately are the prices on deer and duck hunting gear. Duck decoys are half priceat places like Academy. Ditto that for turkey and deer decoys.There is no better time than now to buy a duck call and begin practicing. You can buy a CD and duck call and master the art of fooling ducks while driving down the road. You can do the same thing with turkey calls.
If you pay attention, you'll see some pretty good sales on deer rifles and shotguns. If you buy a new gun, now is the time to head to the range. Remember the rule that practice makes perfect. There are a number of good shooting clubs in the Southeast Texas area. The One In One Hundred gun club near Lumberton is popular. It offers areas to shoot both shotguns and rifles.
Ditto that for gun shops with ranges like Leger's Gun Range west of Beaumont. This is where you can buy a gun, get some ammo, head out back and start shooting. If there is one thing that most deer hunters don't do enough of is shooting. All guns and ammo are not created equal. If you're thinking about getting a new deer hunting rifle, now is a good time to put a favorite combination of gun, scope and bullets together. One thing is certain about deer hunting – accuracy is a must. And that can only be obtained with lots of practice.
One other thing. If you've got kids that will be hunting for the first time next season, now is when you need to get some practice on the range. School is out and a little late evening gunplay at the range can really keep the interest of kids on the right track.
