The Ugliest Cars at SEMA 2013
Take a walk past the hundreds of customized cars, trucks and SUVs at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas and you'll see some incredible innovation, artistry, and craftsmanship. And then there are the custom rides that wear gaudy paint jobs and are slathered in chrome. As part of our annual tradition, we find the worst of the worst.

Classic Jeep
Here's some more "good ugly." There's something very cool about an old Jeep that shows its age as well as some battle scars. Sure, the beat up brown paint on this Willys is a little dull and the wheels are plain old black steel. But this CJ2A has a great vintage vibe, and it wears old school Rancho Shocks logos, one of the pioneers of the off-road aftermarket.

Quick Spin: 2011 Dodge Journey
An Also-Ran Matures Into A Real Competitor With all of the Chrysler models receiving updates both significant and otherwise, it's understandable if you've gotten a little lost in the fray. Here's what you need to know: One of the most surprising bright lights to come out of the company's refresh bender is the 2011 Dodge Journey. While the 2011 Dodge Charger and Durango may have stolen the spotlight with their new sheetmetal, the Journey has transmogrified into a small family hauler that offers plenty of horsepower, acceptable fuel economy and a massively updated interior.

Internet Apologist
Jason Dollar has proposed a new ministry position for churches today in his post: "Internet Apologist?" While I am not sure what I think about his proposal, here is how it begins:
It is easy to suggest things, but not follow through with actions. So that is what I am going to do! I suggest that the Church establish a ministry to people who surf the Internet.
The person would be paid a salary and have board oversight and be required to surf the Internet 8 hours a day, focusing especially on forums, chat rooms, and blogs, and be a solid Christian voice there. He / she would not be a columnist but rather an evangelist. The goal would be to carry on conversations with people who talk online and to point them to the living water of Jesus Christ (John 4). As far as I know, this is not currently being done (correct me if I am wrong).

I don't think any church budget committee that I ever sat before would go for that.
"He's going to do what? Where?"
"And when will these people start to come to our church?
"Will these people he's reaching ever tithe?"

- Conference date: 12–16 May 2008
- Location: Trieste (Italy)
The existing models of baryons usually predict considerably more resonance (three or more in number) than it was found by investigation of elastic pion‐nucleon scattering. This disagreement invites further investigation of the pion‐nucleon interaction and among other things the measurement of spin rotation parameters A and R in the elastic pion‐nucleon scattering.
Recent experiments of the PNPI and PNPI‐ITEP collaborations resolved a part of twofold ambiguities of the existing partial wave analyses (PWA). These results were used in the last PWA of the George Washington University group SP06. The proposal for the additional spin rotation parameters A and R measurement in the resonance region is motivated. Such additional measurements are necessary to resolve remaining twofold ambiguities of the existing PWAs.

Millions of man-hours are spent drilling and producing the world's oil and gas. As methods of extraction increase in complexity, we have seen more tools and techniques come to the fore. However, increasing complexity often brings greater challenges—most notably the Macondo blowout in April 2010, which saw an estimated 62,000 bopd spill into the Gulf of Mexico.

Justice for Gurkhas petition - Telegraph...the Home Office last week issued fresh criteria for allowing Gurkhas into the UK, but set the bar for entry so high that campaigners say that only a few hundred veterans will ever qualify.
Phil Woolas, the Immigration Minister, has claimed that giving free access to all former Gurkhas and their families could mean as many as 100,000 people moving to Britain.

For Immediate Release
Date: 10/22/13
AUGUSTA - State Representative Lawrence Lockman (R-Amherst) has introduced a bill that he hopes will prevent another tragedy such as what happened at Roque Bluffs this past summer.
In July, two women, one of them pregnant, accidentally drove their minivan down a boat ramp and into the ocean on a foggy night. The road abruptly ended at the ramp and lacked adequate signage or lighting. Both women drowned in the tragic incident.
"I understand that they've put better signage up at the Roque Bluffs ramp, but there should still be lighting and there are boat ramps like this all across the state that are perilously close to roads where people could easily drive into the water," said Lockman, who is introducing his bill for consideration when the legislature reconvenes in January.
Rep. Lockman's bill would require that boat ramps on public property be equipped with signs and adequate lighting nearby so that drivers can easily see the hazard before it is too late.
"What happened to these two women was absolutely tragic, and I'm not confident we as a state are doing everything we can to prevent it from happening again," added Lockman. "This bill is an attempt to fix that."
Rep. Lawrence Lockman is serving his first term in the legislature. He can be reached at email@example.com or (207) 584-5900.

Gossip Girl Producers Preview "Beauty and the Feast"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Gossip Girl producers Joshua Safran and Sara Goodman preview the many story lines playing out on next Monday's all new episode of the CW series in their weekly sitdown, with short clips interspersed.
There's no question about the fact that Blair's pregnant now, and the cat is officially out of the bag with Dorota, who is also with child. Elsewhere on the Blair front, Louis' sister comes to town.
Serena, meanwhile, announces that she will be staying in L.A., with throws Ivy for a loop, since she's now been thrust into playing Charlie all over again. And then there's poor Nate. Getting played.
Check out their official preview with some new footage below:

I think that Chuck and Blair have gone throught a lot.....this is a chance for Chuck to finally have a real family something he has never had.....I hope she has twins and boy and a girl....THE END.
I understand that nowadays there are methods to do the paternity test before the birth, but it would be best to ask a doctor.
That's strange because you can't do a paternity test until the baby is born, right?
So it's back to season 1 with Blair trying to figure out who the baby's father is (except back then she wasn't really pregnant...)
Why are they sooo excited about Elizabeth Hurley and Nate??? This episode looks just like Josh : Sh*t
I don't know why Sara Goodman's smiling so much, when the episode is looking a lot like a dud. but, let me give her the benefit of the doubt and say it won't suck too much
I don't know if I mentioned this before in this article and I'm on my cell so I can't watch the second page of comments but just in case and to keep everybody informed the producers told E! and TV line that the paternity was between Chuck and Louis and it would be known who the father was before the first half of the season ends. Just saying.
Blair and Chuck have gone on for 4 seasons and its too much. Its just not interesting anymore.
I think the new Dan/Blair situation is so exciting, like falling in love all over again and its beautiful!
Obviously people have the right to ship whomever they like and have their own opinion about it but I honestly find it so hard to understand the need for more Chair- we've seen it all with those two.
I have a theory that Blair is pregnant with Chuck's baby and that will be the reason for the royal split and then Chuck will prove to Blair that he has matured and is ready for her and a kid and possibly with Dan's encouragement, Chair will reunite, Blair will then have a miscarriage and eventually, probably at the very end , realise that she is with Chuck but it doesn't feel right anymore and end up with Dan.
It is just my wishful thinking but frankly it makes so much sense.
I really do think that Chuck and Blair have outgrown each other but will need one last hurrah to become fully aware of that.
Here's hoping.
I guess it will be dans baby because its obvious if its chucks baby! Chair is the best but i like dan and blair together now after the whole drama of chuck, he dnt deserve her!
Some of yesterday's last posts prove my point that these producers previews don't help anybody. Seriously, if you are going to be psychos about the show and post every 5 minutes could you at least put some effort in the spelling?
louis and blair are boring. i hate to watch it. season started dull ! blair pregnant ? wtf ? who wants eeven to see it ! it spoiled everything. i want to see old bitchy blair and with chuck happily ever after. not some tacky royal wedding. SERIOUSLY ?! get rid of pregnancy and fix it ! its not for you to wonder why... its for you to do or die ! Blair must be with chuck - end of ! no louis ! no pregnancy !

- Living to 120 and beyond Americans' views on aging, medical advances and radical life extension. 2013The findings suggest that the U.S. public is not particularly worried about the gradual rise in the number of older Americans. Nearly nine-in-ten adults surveyed say that "having more elderly people in the population" is either a good thing for society (41%) or does not make much difference (47%). Just 10% see this trend as a bad thing.
- Overall, the idea of getting older is something that 3 in 10 Americans 40 years or older would rather not think about at all. Another 32 percent are somewhat comfortable thinking about getting older and 35 percent report being very comfortable. Being older, more educated, and in better health are associated with greater levels of comfort thinking about aging. Sixty-two percent of those 40-54 years old are somewhat or very comfortable thinking about getting older; the percentage increases to 75 percent for those 65 or older. Nearly half of those 65 and older, 47 percent, report being very comfortable thinking about getting older.

(AP)-- Kansas and Arizona are asking a court to force a federal agency to quickly modify voter registration forms so the states can fully enforce proof-of-citizenship laws for all new voters.
The two states filed a request Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit they filed against the federal Election Assistance Commission and its top staff member. They asked for a hearing by or shortly after Nov. 12th.
The states want to force the commission to modify the national mail-in voter registration form to include specific proof-of-citizenship instructions for residents of Kansas and Arizona.
Officials of the states argued that they're being forced to create separate registration systems for federal and other elections.
The U.S. Justice Department is representing the commission and didn't immediately comment.

Fried Chicken with Lemongrass
Fried Chicken with Lemongrass (gai tod dta-krai) is a very easy snack dish which goes great with beer! Boiling the chicken first makes it juicy and tender.
- Rinse and boil the chicken for about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Cut the chicken into pieces, larger than bite-size (about 1.5-2.5″ long).
- Cut the lemongrass stalks into 1″ segments, and smash in a stone mortar & pestle until stringy.
- Fry the lemongrass first in the oil on medium-high heat. When crispy set aside. Add the chicken, but make sure the oil is hot before you drop the chicken in. It'll probably splatter a lot, so you might want to use one of those splatter screens.
- Remove the fried chicken and drain. Place into a pot with the lemongrass. Cover with a lid and shake hard to mix well.
- Serve. Goes well with beer!
This recipe is similar to Fried Chicken with Salt, but using lemongrass instead. Both are common beer or snack foods, usually shared with friends.
Ingredients: What You'll Need
- 2 cups chicken (legs and wings work best)
- enough vegetable oil to coat your pan 1" deep
- 3 lemongrass stalks
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
5 Responses to "Fried Chicken with Lemongrass"
Wow, never seen this before,
How much I wish I can have a bite of that!
Thanks again for sharing. Is there any sauce that suitable with this recipes? Once my friend made me some friend chicken as your recipe above and put lemon grass sauce, it tasted delicious. If you pleased, could you help me to share this sauce?
Many Thanks.
Hey, this recipe needs no salt? How does it get it's flavoring?

Dodd-Frank: Too Big to Work?
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The specific aim of the Dodd-Frank legislation was to promote financial stability in three ways: (1) improve the accountability and transparency of financial institutions; (2) end "Too Big To Fail" (TBTF); and (3) protect consumers from abusive financial practices.
|Dodd-Frank was, from the beginning, doomed to be just another device of regulatory strangulation.
Much of the nonsensical practices we see in the financial sector today, like having to be delinquent to get anybody's attention, or not being able to get your financial institution to modify your loan without a massive cash infusion because the loan is underwater, are already due to regulatory constraints. Just think of the unintended consequences of a whole new set of rules and regulations!
>> Dodd-Frank Still a Work in ProgressThe act created a whole new set of regulatory agencies, including the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Office of Financial Research, and the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. Realize that the major financial institutions had plenty of oversight prior to the financial meltdown. It's just that few saw the developing risk, and those who did were ignored. So, how will a whole new set of bureaucracies change this? Rather than ending TBTF, the law has institutionalized it. Institutions should not be allowed to get so big so as to cause "systemic" issues if they have internal issues. In fact, there is a regulation that prohibits any bank from having more than 10% of U.S. total deposits. That went out the window in the '09 financial meltdown, and all of the TBTF institutions are now exempt from it. Dodd-Frank has now carved TBTF into stone. We have a new, official category, called "Systemically Important Financial Institutions" (SIFIs). These simply are TBTF institutions. And while there may be some new rules and capital requirements on them, they are, by definition, TBTF. In another financial meltdown, while stock and bondholders may be more impacted than they were in '09, the taxpayer will still be on the hook when all of the capital is exhausted.

Reviving 'Rocky Horror'
Posted By Val Robichaud On June 23, 2011 @ 8:47 am In Features | Comments Disabled
A naïve couple trapped in an evil lair, a transsexual mad scientist, evil henchmen, an ominous secret laboratory, a zombie biker and lots of singing and dancing. "The Rocky Horror Show" is the musical that has bit of everything, including a few spare body parts.
The show, directed by Cat Austin and produced by Philip Sales, the duo behind CAPS Productions, opens June 30 at the Sonoma Community Center's [2] Andrews Hall.
Some producers go for drama, others comedy. The CAPS team found a leading man in fishnets. Other than seducing his naïve visitors, Dr. Frank N. Furter is trying to bring his dead boyfriend back to life.
Not your typical Broadway revival.
The crazed, campy production is faithful to the 1973 British play. Perhaps better known is the 1975 film version. The cult movie that pioneered cult movies, with patrons coming in costumes and reciting movie lines back to the screen during midnight showings across the country, it's the longest-running theatrical release in film history.
"We want to capture that sense of mayhem and destruction," Sales said. He appears in the show as the stately Narrator.
"Rocky" plays Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. (the "midnight show"), through July 16. Tickets are $24. There will also be two 'Thrifty Thursday' performances, July 7 and 14, with tickets are $17. An "audience participation kit" is included. In other words, watch out for flying rice. 938.4626 x1.

No, this was not an instant replay, though it certainly is turning into a highlight reel Kentucky and Aaron Harrison could get used to watching over and over again. Harrison took a pass from his twin brother, Andrew, spotted up from NBA range and watched the ball rattle in for the lead with 5.7 seconds left to lift the Wildcats to a 74-73 victory Saturday night over Wisconsin in the Final Four. "You can't be scared to miss, and you want to be that guy that wants to take the big shots," Aaron Harrison said.

Red Orchestra 2 Review
A test to the dedication of battle.
FPS enthusiasts might recall a certain period where World War shooters dominated the industry and in some way, were the modern warfares of this generation. Though, they started to slightly fade away due to the genre's deterioration from one side, and well, due to another inevitable fact; everyone was simply ready to move on into a different setting. Have you thought what could a World War-developed title offer on today's standards? Of course, bearing in mind how the industry feels maxed to the core with first-person shooters. Tripwire's Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, being a World War II-themed shooter – does it bring anything new to the setting itself, and the shooter genre in general?
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is a full-fledged follow-up to Red Orchestra: Osfront 41-45. It's from Tripwire Interactive – the same team known for modding Unreal Tournament 2004 in their WWII IP debut. The game is a World War II first-person shooter which focuses on conveying realistic gun-play scenarios and vehicle combats, in an effort to recreate one of the most brutal World War II battles – that's Battle of Stalingrad, in a completely fresh perspective.
Although Red Orchestra 2 is a multiplayer-focused shooter in essence, there's a whole campaign mode featured inside. If you're the type of gamer who prefers to play alone and wander across epic storylines, simply, this is not the game made for you. Frankly enough, the offline mode is a mere effort to serve as a training session in preparation to the vicious multiplayer.
The solo-play comprises of two distinctive campaigns. Your first go is with the Axis faction – yes you play as a Nazi in order to undertake Stalingrad from the Russian Allies. The story, told in a 2d-based cutscenes alongside some decent narration, is pretty basic at most. There are no extravagant dramatic moments. The premiere mission introduces you to the basic controls, followed with quite similar missions, and often interrupted tutors in-between. Taking over the enemy's bases and expanding your reign over the map is one of the mission's forms, while the other is as simple as defending your territory from crowds of attackers. There's no memorable protagonist here; when your controlled-soldier dies, you simply hop into the shoes of another random one, from a different or similar class.
Even though the single-player's purpose is mostly to function as a taster, it could have potentially thrived well to induce some decent fun moments. However, it's sadly ruined by the extremely incompetent AI. For instance, your squad often acts like a bloc of drunken clowns – running in front of me while shooting at the enemy, and jumping outside and inside of a window for no reason was hilarious to say the least. Your squad isn't really helpful. I can see where most of Tipwire's effort has been decanted. They obviously haven't given the solo-play much effort; it's a rather crammed feature for the sake of adding an offline mode.
The campaign left somehow a bad taste in my mouth, while it still provided me with subtle info for RO2's basic mechanics. Now the multiplayer is something should never be compared to the chaotic solo portion – although it's based on similar modes and maps. Expect every moment to be perplexing, challenging and gratifying. Death is instant; you'll have to be very cautious, and strategic; don't worry though – there's always someone on your side. The multiplayer is expansive, building on the variety of maps from the offline component, there's support of up to 64-players, with 4 different game types, including tank only games, infantry or mixed.
One thing I liked about Red Orchestra 2 is the extensive class system. However, there's a cap on the number of classes. For example, only four soldiers can step into the boot of a sniper class, or just two can be squad leaders. This ensures, however, the session doesn't end up with an army of snipers or machine gunners at once. Commanders are granted to call for assistance such the ability to force respawns, request mortar strikes, while squad leaders, who are a step lower than commanders, can form spawn points to help dead teammates reach the correspondent point instantly.

WESTON, VT. — The grand dame of Vermont Antiques Week, the 55th annual Weston Antiques Show gets better with age, enchanting showgoers as the show kicked off four days of antiques shows — all within a 45-minute drive of each other — at the Weston Playhouse October 3 with a preview, and continuing through October 6.
Thirty dealers spread out throughout the playhouse, filling rooms downstairs and on the main level, on stage and even across the theater seating.
Peter Pap Oriental Rugs, New York City and Dublin, N.H., took the opportunity to redecorate the playhouse to stunning effect. A half dozen or so large rugs were draped over the theater's chairs while another nine rugs hung on the back wall and two massive tapestries nearly filled the side walls. Highlights included a Persian Serapi, late Nineteenth Century, 9 feet 6 inches by 13 feet 8 inches; Caucasian Kazak, fourth quarter Nineteenth Century, 4 feet by 6 feet 8 inches; and a Persian Sauj Boulag, third quarter Nineteenth Century, 4 feet 9 inches by 7 feet 2 inches.
Exhibiting for 13 years here, Henry T. Callan Fine Antiques, East Sandwich, Mass., was delighted to sell a trio of Vermont samplers preview night that were noteworthy for their talented stitching as well as being made by three girls in the same family in Windsor, Vt. The samplers were made in 1829, 1837 and 1838.
"Good dealers, good fun and faithful customers," Callan said by way of explanation of why this show attracts such a loyal following among buyers and dealers. He noted he has buyers who fly in every year from Texas and Omaha, Neb., to buy.
One of the longest-running dealers in the show (since 1970s) is Ester Gilbert, who used to do this show with her mother and now does it on her own. Eye candy in her booth included copperware, a fine fireplace surround and an Erzgebirge, Germany, Noah's Ark with many hand carved animals, early Nineteenth Century. A basket held a cluster of wooden kitchen tools.
Another longtime veteran of the show, since 1978, Charles and Barbara Adams Antiques, South Yarmouth, Mass., had its usual fine selection of Rockingham pottery, including a pair of dogs holding a basket in their teeth; but also offered a fine country cupboard, a 48-star American flag and a framed advertisement for "Non-Explosive LAMP! For Burning Kerosene Oil" that extolled its security to life and property as being of "inestimable value to all."
Showing at Weston since 1990, DeWolfe & Wood Books, Alfred, Maine, offered fine books, including Louisa May Alcott's first book, Flower Fables, with an autograph on paper glued to inside cover, and a small but choice collection of blue spongeware.
Mad River Antiques, LLC, North Granby, Conn., offered a great-looking, early Nineteenth Century blanket box with a strong, golden-hued grain painting and well-done cutouts on the front and sides; a rare mid-Nineteenth Century American nautical sandpaper painting, based on Nathaniel Currier's 1847 lithograph, "Naval Bombardment of Vera Cruz," and a Nineteenth Century bail-handled pantry box with a great original blue painted surface.
New to the show this year, Ponzi's Antiques, Trumansburg, N.Y., offered a classical mahogany drop leaf with wonderful stenciled column in an old finish, circa 1820–1835; a great rocking, arrowback child's settee in its original reddish-brown paint with hand painted decoration around the arrow and arms, circa 1810–1830, and a walnut and rosewood inlay hanging pipe box with sunburst inlay in the back and match holders on the side and drawers having fine inlay throughout, circa 1840s.
Also making its debut at the show, Hare's Ltd, Palmyra, N.Y., exhibited several fine miniatures, including a young boy with whip, circa 1840, and a naïve portrait on ivory of three children, circa 1810. Also on offer was a painted group silhouette on laid paper, circa 1775, English or German.
Debbie Turi, Roseland, N.J., created a striking collage of great signs on one wall, from a white oval "Stop" with black lettering, "No Thoroughfare Dead End Street" and "Parrakeets [sic] for Sale." Apropos for the fall season, she displayed a few Halloween collectibles also.
Hermitage Antiques, Harrison, Maine, offered a dressing table, circa 1820, in wonderful original painted surface; a John Bliss & Co. sextant; a tiger maple tall clock, circa 1820, New Hampshire; and a nice Boston area banjo clock, circa 1840.
Highlights at New England Home Antiques, Wethersfield, Conn., included an early Eighteenth Century, paneled lift top chest with interior till and drawer and retaining traces of red surface; a sublime lacquered coverlet dated 1859 in each corner; a Sheraton single-drawer drop leaf table, circa 1835–40, with a top of highly figured tiger maple, New England; and the document box of Captain John E. Barstow (1822–1904)
Paul and Karen Wendhiser, Ellington, Conn., featured a Hamilton & Jones stoneware water cooler with elaborate cobalt decoration, circa 1870, a folky For Sale/Apply Within wooden sign, a sterling belt buckle of a feathered serpent and a full body copper horse weathervane with zinc head, early Twentieth Century.
Martin J. Ferrick Antiques, Addison, Maine, showed a diminutive graduated four-drawer chest in figured maple and birch on an arched bracket base and a Chippendale slant front desk in flame birch with double sunburst carved interior from a Camden, Maine, estate.
Among standouts at The Red Horse, Bridgewater, Vt., were a fruitwood tripod table in original finish, English, circa 1860, a folk art corner cupboard with a dollhouse front, a pair of ivy wall sconces, circa 1890, a small and early decorated Christmas tree and nicely figured mahogany rectangle table with a tilt top. Having a great form was a lead statue of a boy with pipe, English, circa 1860.
A naïve but well-executed work of art at White & White Antiques, Skaneateles, N.Y., was a still life on academy board, circa 1880s, in original frame, while a small but fine folk art bust, circa 1880s–90s, had a great patina and form. A delightful Queen Anne slant lid desk, circa 1750s, in walnut with white pine and poplar was another standout.
Sparkling bright at The Silver Vault, Woodstock, Ill., were an Old Sheffield plate coffee urn, English, circa 1800; an Old Sheffield plate wine cooler, English, circa 1810; a plated biscuit barrel, Sheffield, circa 1870, Atkin Brothers; and a coin silver covered tureen, Charleston, S.C., 1847.
Among fine pieces of furniture at Hanes & Ruskin Antiques, Old Lyme, Conn., were a pair of Connecticut Queen Anne side chairs with carved crests, spoon backs, and Spanish feet, made in Lyme, Conn., as well as an American school Nineteenth Century oil on canvas still life and a rare Seth Thomas ship's strike contained in a walnut case with an inside bell and a porcelain face. Apropos to the show was a paint decorated Vermont Federal chest, dating to 1790–1810 that had never been repainted, with only a few touch-ups.
Robert Perry Antiques, Orchard Park, N.Y., sold a beautiful walnut chest from Pennsylvania, marked 1804, on preview night. Other fine pieces seen included a turning wig stand, Pennsylvania, circa 1880s, and a child's bamboo turned chair, circa 1800.
Barometer Fair, Sarasota, Fla., had plenty of barometers to choose from, such as a four-dial rosewood wheel or banjo barometer with swan neck pediment, a rare and unusual large diameter wheel barometer with swan neck pediment having a 12-inch diameter wheel, and a rare and early stick barometer of finely figured mahogany with a dial engraved in the manner of George Adams of London. The dealer also offered a fully functional organ that folded up into a suitcase for easy carrying.
Martin Chasin Fine Arts, Fairfield, Conn., filled several cases in his booth with Eighteenth Century Irish glass and Eighteenth Century English silver, and hung on the walls fine period prints, mostly English.
Highlights at Dover House Antiques, Louisville, Ky., included a Federal fancy paint decorated settee, probably New York, circa 1820; a ship diorama, Flora, with carved waves and a rare night sky, early Twentieth Century, a collection of 45 pieces of stone fruit in a wire basket and a Sheraton hutch table in maple, probably Connecticut, circa 1830. Among fine paintings were Otis Cook's "The Grey Barn," and Clinton Loveridge's "Cows."
John & Robin Sittig, Shawnee-on-Delaware, Penn., showed an unusual Christmas tree stand with lights, circa 1930; a Baltimore original paint decorated fancy chair, circa 1830.
Americana dominated in the booth of Witt's End Antiques, Wallkill, N.Y. Highlights included a circa 1760–80 slant lid desk in maple, having four drawers and a fitted interior on bun feet; an Eighteenth Century Queen Anne Connecticut River Valley, flat top high boy in early red painted surface, with original brasses; and a pine two-door dry sink with shaped backsplash and unique curved corners. One of several folky touches here came in the form of an early Twentieth Century curlew on a driftwood base, 16½ inches tall, signed Bundick.
W.M. Schwind, Jr, Yarmouth, Maine, had an interesting and diverse booth that ran from a Maine "sand" drawing, circa 1850 to a yellow Tiffany flower brooch to a Jennings & Bettridge papier mache tray table with original painted decoration and on original stand. Also offered were two signed watercolors by Dahlov Ipcar that were original illustrations for her One Horse Farm children's book published in 1950.
An arresting display at the end of the hall upstairs in the playhouse was thanks to Robert T. Foley, Gray, Maine, who hung bright yellow paper on the exit door in front of which he displayed a trio of critters: a fish trade sign, a pigskin footstool and a whippet dog figure. Inside the booth, even more treasures awaited, from a set of six Windsor chairs by Samuel Grogg, a New Hampshire native and Boston cabinetmaker to a classical mahogany and tiger maple five-drawer chest with paw feet, circa 1820, as ell as a great folk art trellis.
Eye candy at Baldwin House Antiques, Strasburg, Penn., was a rare "Pioneer" Gendron Paige pedal car, circa 1913, from Ohio, that was one of the earliest models of American pedal cars by Gendron. Other standouts were a tiger maple semi-high chest, circa 1830, Northern Shenandoah, Va.; a lovely pair of Cupid wall sconces with paint decoration, circa 1920, probably French or Austrian; and a decorated tall case clock, Anson Downs, Conn., circa 1830, with a 30-hour wooden movement.
Folk art was definitely the theme at Pioneer Folk Antiques, Ellsworth, Maine, which boasted such charming pieces as a circa 1940s double-sided "Cabbage Potatoes" painted farm stand sign, a circa 1920s–40s hooked rug showing a pair of ducks accented with striking hues of apricot and magenta, a circa 1940s oil on board painting of seagulls in flight and a circa 1940s carved rabbit in original surface paint, mounted on a modern base.
Marc Witus, Gladstone, N.J., offered a carved and painted wooden horse pull-toy, a Winona Council sign with a Native American theme and a punched tin lantern with sunburst patterns.
David and Donna Kmetz, Douglas, Mass., had its usual choice display of fine paintings in elaborate and lovely frames. Highlights included Maine landscape painter Wesley Webber's "View of the Valley," renowned Old Lyme, Conn., painter George Matthew Bruestle's "A Connecticut Farm," in its original period frame and New England landscape specialist George Owen Jr's "Grazing in a Pasture," 1864.

Americans still not eating enough fruits and vegetables, according to two recent studiesMarch 19, 2007
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research in Baltimore analyzed NHANES data (National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys) to determine trends over time for fruit and vegetable consumption among American adults. The answers are not encouraging. Despite campaigns and slogans, Americans have not increased their consumption, with 28% and 32% meeting USDA guidelines for fruits and vegetables, respectively, and less than 11% meeting the current USDA guidelines for both fruits and vegetables.
The study included 14,997 adults ( ≥18 years) from 1988 to 1994 and 8,910 adults from 1999 to 2002 with complete demographic and dietary data. Approximately 62% did not consume any whole fruit servings and 25% of participants reported eating no daily vegetable servings. There was no improvement in Americans' fruit consumption during this period and there was a small decrease in vegetable intake.
In the article, Tiffany Gary, PhD, states, "Low fruit and vegetable consumption with no indication of improvement between 1988 and 2002 as well as consumption disparities across ethnic, income, and educational groups should alarm public health officials and professionals. With two thirds of the U.S. adult population overweight or obese, the implications of a diet low in fruits and vegetables are extensive... New strategies, in addition to the 5-A-Day Campaign, are necessary to help Americans make desirable behavioral changes to consume a healthy diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables."
Previous studies have shown a disparity in the diets of blacks and whites, as well as a more serious disparity in the incidence of heart disease, cancer and stroke. A second article published in the April issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine examined whether the diets of non-Hispanic blacks have improved relative to the diets of whites.
Also working with the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) I (1971-75); II (1976-1980); III (1988-1994); 1999-2000; and 2001-2002, researchers found that little progress has been made in closing the gap between blacks and whites. In fact, the authors point out that the results are remarkable for similarity of trajectories in all race-gender groups. The quantity of food, total energy intake, energy from carbohydrate, and energy density increased, and energy from total and saturated fat and cholesterol intake decreased across the board. These results suggest a population-wide shift in intake of energy and macronutrients over the 3-decade span of the four surveys and may reflect changes in diet that were adopted by all race-gender groups.
Dr. Ashima Kant, PhD, Queens College of the City University of New York, concludes, "Dietary intake trends in blacks and whites over the past several decades appear to be similar - suggesting that previously identified dietary risk factors that differentially affect black Americans have not improved in a relative sense. The differences observed need to be confirmed with biomarkers, but would seem sufficiently strong to warrant intensified study and action to better understand the sociocultural or environmental factors that anchor these persistent differentials and identify approaches to effect change while building on strengths of current dietary patterns where possible."
Emphasizing the need to encourage proper diet, Linda C Nebeling, PhD, MD, RD, FADA, of the National Cancer Institute, NIH, states in a commentary in the same issue, "The majority of U.S. adults continue to consume fewer than five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Increases in public awareness of the importance of and recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption are yet to be accompanied by increased intake, demonstrating the need for a reinvigorated effort to promote fruit and vegetable consumption. On March 19, 2007 'Fruits & Veggies-More Matters' will be launched. This effort will build on the strong public-private partnership begun in 1991 by the 5-A-Day for Better Health Program."

Olympia, Wash., July 1, 2009 — The State of Washington and the Colville Confederated Tribes have entered into an agreement in which the Tribe will impose its own cigarette tax in lieu of state and local taxes.
Under the agreement, the Tribe will collect a tribal tax equal to 100 percent of the combined state cigarette tax and state and local sales taxes, or $2.44 per pack. The compact was negotiated by the Department of Revenue and signed by Tribal Chair Jeanne Jerred and Governor Chris Gregoire.
Under the compact, the State agrees to not impose its taxes on non-Indians buying from Tribal smokeshops in exchange for the Tribe administering and enforcing the terms of the agreement. Additionally, the Department of Revenue, the Liquor Control Board, and the Tribe have signed a memorandum of agreement detailing protocols for enforcement.
This is the 23rd compact to be negotiated between the state and the state's 29 federally recognized tribes since enabling legislation was enacted in 2001, although one with the Yakama Nation was terminated due to non-compliance.
The Yakama Nation and the State are in litigation in federal court. The Governor is authorized to negotiate with all 29 tribes in the state and the Department is in discussions with the Shoalwater Bay Tribe and the Lower Elwha Tribe.
A list of participating and eligible tribes is available here.

#TVlove – The Americans, Season Two Trailer
My biggest viewing regret of last season was not watching The Americans. Now I have to wait for it to finally come out on DVD, and will be cramming in anticipation of the season two premiere on FX February 27th. What peaked my interest? The buzz is part of it. And I do love Keri Russell ever since her Felicity days. But I have to admit, reading the rumors about her real-life romance with co-star Mathew Rhys makes this a must-watch for me.

Killer application
In marketing terminology, a killer application (commonly shortened to killer app) is any computer program that is so necessary or desirable that it proves the core value of some larger technology, such as computer hardware, gaming console, software, a programming language, software platform, or an operating system[citation needed]. In other words, consumers would buy the (usually expensive) hardware just to run that application. A killer app can substantially increase sales of the platform on which it runs.[1][2]
One of the first examples of a killer application is generally agreed to be the VisiCalc spreadsheet for the Apple II series.[3] Because it was not available on other computers for 12 months, people purchased the $100 software first, then the $2000 Apple they needed to run it.[4] BYTE wrote in 1980, "VisiCalc is the first program available on a microcomputer that has been responsible for sales of entire systems",[5] while Creative Computing 's VisiCalc review was subtitled "reason enough for owning a computer".[6] Another is WordStar, the most popular word processor during much of the 1980s.[7] The next example is another spreadsheet, Lotus 1-2-3. Sales of IBM's Personal computer increased rapidly a few months after Lotus 1-2-3's release. Once the Internet became more widely available to consumers, email was seen as a killer app that drove people to purchase computers, even though email is a genre of applications rather than a single "app."
The first recorded use of the term in print was 1987, in PC Week 8 Sept. 107/2. "Everybody has only one killer application. The secretary has a word processor. The manager has a spreadsheet."[8]
The definition of "killer app" came up during Bill Gates's questioning in the United States v. Microsoft antitrust suit. Bill Gates had written an email in which he described Internet Explorer as a killer app. In the questioning, he said that the term meant "a popular application", and did not connote an application that would fuel sales of a larger product or one that would supplant its competition, as the Microsoft Computer Dictionary defined it.[9]
Selected applications for computer systems[edit]
- AmigaOS: Deluxe Paint
- RISC OS: Sibelius[10] (before 1998)
Video games[edit]
The term has also been applied to computer and video games that cause consumers to buy a particular video game console or gaming hardware over a competing one. Examples of a video game killer applications are:
- The first generally agreed example of a "killer app" in gaming is Space Invaders, released for arcades in 1978 and ported to the Atari VCS (Atari 2600) console in 1980, quadrupling sales of the then three-year-old Atari 2600 platform.[11]
- Star Raiders, released in 1979 on cartridge for the Atari 8-bit computer, was considered to be a "killer app" for a computer platform.[12]
- Donkey Kong was the killer app for the ColecoVision console in 1982.
- The video gaming website GameTrailers considers the Super Mario Bros. games to be the killer app for nearly all Nintendo home consoles, Tetris as the killer app for the Game Boy, Grand Theft Auto III for the PlayStation 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube, and Wii Sports for the Nintendo Wii.[13]
- Computer Gaming World stated that The Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Phantasy Star II on the Sega Genesis, and Far East of Eden for the NEC TurboGrafx-16 were killer apps for their consoles.[14]
- Sonic the Hedgehog, released in 1991, was hailed as a killer app as it revived sales of the (by then) three-year-old Sega Mega Drive / Genesis.
- Myst and The 7th Guest, both released in 1993, are considered to be killer apps for their influence on CD-ROM drive sales, leading to widespread market adoption of the format.
- Final Fantasy VII is considered a "killer app" that the original PlayStation had along with Metal Gear Solid. These were immensely popular exclusives for the system. Earlier killer apps included Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Gran Turismo and Crash Bandicoot.
- Pokémon Red and Blue would be classified a "killer app" for the seven-year-old Game Boy as a craze evolved around the series in the late 90s, and it was only available on that platform.
- Pokemon Gold and Silver were released at the height of the Pokemon craze alongside the Game Boy Color, and fueled the sales for the console all the way to the release of the Game Boy Advance two years later.
- GoldenEye 007, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 are considered killer apps for the Nintendo 64, with Super Mario 64 being one of two launch titles for the console and the main factor behind the platform's initial success.
- Quake is considered the killer app for 3dfx's Voodoo Graphics 3D accelerator card for home computers.
- Halo and Gears of War are considered to be the killer apps for the Xbox and Xbox 360.[15]

Blake Shelton isn't really a small-town Oklahoma boy anymore. Now he just plays one on TV. As the only country singer among the coaches on The Voice, he's always trying to teach those fancy showbiz types how the guys do things down South, whether he's playing up his let me tip my Stetson, ma'am charisma, chugging from a bottle of sarsaparilla, or delivering his best Hee Haw-worthy one-liners. (His favorite kind of turkey to shoot? Wild Turkey.)
So it makes sense that the best tracks on Based on a True Story, his eighth studio full-length, find him acting as Nashville's cultural ambassador to Hollywood though he's still out to prove that he's ''backwoods legit.'' That's how Shelton puts it on the silly but fun blast-it-from-your-truck sing-along ''Boys 'Round Here,'' where he makes like Jerry Reed, talking through his rules for how to be Southern (rule No. 204: Never, ever do the Dougie). Elsewhere, the classic-rock boot stomper ''Small Town Big Time'' has him in Los Angeles, teaching his buddies back home how to pronounce ''Rodeo Drive.''
Luckily, his pickup lines should translate well to corny uncles on both coasts: ''My eyes,'' he croons on ''My Eyes,'' ''are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you.'' Shelton's plenty charming on the funny songs the take-this-job-and-shove-it anthem ''Still Got a Finger'' might be the best but on the serious ones, his cheeseball act can make you cringe. His idea of a romantic night on the '80s-guitar-fueled ''Doing What She Likes''? Lighting watermelon-scented candles by her bed. And would his real-life badass wife, Miranda Lambert, really let him pour bubble bath into a hot tub on the mellow pedal-steel jam ''Lay Low''? He's gonna break the Jacuzzi that way!
Shelton's just not a gravitas kind of guy, and the outdated production only makes it harder to take his songs seriously, especially with the talk-box-style guitar effects and the ill-advised use of AutoTune. So it feels a little strange to hear him sounding so straightfaced about his love of shooting on the sober ballad ''Granddaddy's Gun,'' which could be the NRA's new theme song. He makes his plugs for the Second Amendment ''It backed a burglar down when Grandma took the safety off'' but his argument here is mostly sentimental, like when he remembers Granddaddy telling him that a woman's a lot like a rifle: ''It's all how you hold her.'' Well, if those watermelon candles don't work on his lady, at least he can seduce his gun. B-Best Tracks
''Boys 'Round Here'' a redneck-pride rocker
''Still Got a Finger'' a day-job kiss-off
