Wanda Hazel Gág (1893–1946) was an American artist, author, translator, and illustrator. She is most noted for writing and illustrating the children's book Millions of Cats which won a Newbery Honor Award and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award. It is the oldest American picture book still in print.[1] The ABC Bunny also received a Newbery Honor Award. Her books Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Nothing at All each won a Caldecott Honor Award. In 1940 a book of edited excerpts from her diaries (covering the years 1908 to 1917) was published as Growing Pains; it received wide acclaim.[2][3]
Early life[edit]
Born March 11, 1893 in New Ulm, Minnesota,[4] her mother was Elisabeth Biebl Gag and her father was Anton Gag, an artist and photographer. She was the eldest of seven children most of whom drew, sang, wrote stories and poems.[5] When still a young teen Gág's illustrated story Robby Bobby in Mother Goose Land was published in The Minneapolis Journal in their Junior Journal supplement.[6] Gág was fifteen when her father died of tuberculosis; his final words to her were: "Was der Papa nicht thun konnt', muss die Wanda halt fertig machen." (What Papa couldn't do, Wanda will have to finish.)[7] Following her father's death, the Gag family was on welfare, and many people suggested that Wanda get a steady job. In spite of these setbacks, she remained in school, graduating in June 1912. Wanda then taught country school in Springfield, Minnesota from November 1912 to June 1913.[8]
Art school[edit]
In 1913 Gág met University of Minnesota medical student Edgar T. Herrmann who became a strong influence by exposing her to new ideas in art, politics and philosophy.[9] From 1913 to 1914, with the aid of friends and a scholarship she attended The Saint Paul School of Art.[10] From 1914 to 1917 she attended The Minneapolis School of Art under the patronage of Herschel V. Jones.[11][12] While there she met Harry Gottlieb as well as Adolf Dehn, who later became her lover.[13] In 1917, she won a scholarship to the Art Students League of New York[14] as well as her first book commission, illustrating A Child's Book of Folk-Lore— Mechanics of Written English by Jean Sherwood Rankin.[15] Gág moved to Greenwich Village. At the Art Students League she took classes in composition, etching and advertising illustration.
New York[edit]
By 1919 she was earning a living as a commercial illustrator. Around this time she added an accent mark in her last name to aid in proper pronunciation (her last name rhymes with "bog", not "wag".)[16] In 1921 she became a partner in a business venture called Happiwork Story Boxes, boxes decorated with story panels in the sides.[17] An illustration of Gág's was published in Broom: An International Magazine of the Arts[18] in 1921. Her art exhibition in the New York Public Library in 1923 was Gág's first solo show.[19] She published a magazine with artist William Gropper titled Folio, it lasted one issue.[20] In 1925 she had a series of illustrated crossword puzzles for children syndicated in several newspapers.[21] Her one-woman-show in the Weyhe Gallery in 1926 led to her recognition as "one of America's most promising young graphic artists" and was the start of a lifelong relationship with Carl Zigrosser, its manager.[22][23] Gág began to sell numerous lithographs, linoleum block prints, water colors and drawings through the gallery. In 1927 her article These Modern Women: A Hotbed of Feminists was published in The Nation, drawing the attention of Alfred Stieglitz and prompting Egmont Arens to write about her relationship with men: "… The way you solved that problem seems to me to be the most illuminating part of your career. You have done what all the other 'modern women' are still talking about."[24][25] Gág illustrated covers of the leftist magazines The New Masses and The Liberator. [26][27] Her illustrated story Bunny's Easter Egg was published in John Martin's Book magazine for children in 1927.[28] A reviewer of her 1929 joint show (with Peggy Bacon) at New York City's Downtown Gallery stated: "Wanda Gag's imagination leaps out from dusky shadows and terrifies with light, an emotional source difficult to analyze…"[29] Her work was recognized internationally, including inclusion in the American Institute of Graphic Arts Fifty Prints of the Year in 1928, 1929, 1931, 1932, 1936, 1937 and 1938.[30] Gág's work continued to be shown in New York including The Museum of Modern Art 1939 exhibition Art in Our Time as well as the 1939 New York World's Fair American Art Today show.[31]
Books for children[edit]
Gág's work interested Ernestine Evans, director of Coward-McCann's new children's book division. Evans disliked the common children's books of the day, and was looking for new authors and artists to create more realistic, less idealized books. She wanted Gág to illustrate a new edition of an older book, but Gág refused, saying "I am simply not interested in illustration as such... It has to be a story that takes hold of me way down deep".[32] Evans asked her to submit her own story with illustrations. Millions of Cats appeared in 1928. It won the Newbery Honor award, a rare achievement for a picture book.[33] In 1935 Gág published the "proto-feminist"[34] Gone is Gone; or, the Story of a Man Who Wanted to Do Housework. Some educators of the time disparaged fairy tales, preferring more realistic literature for children.[35] Gág disagreed. "I know I should feel bitterly cheated if, as a child, I had been deprived of all fairy lore..."[36] To encourage the use of these stories, Gág published Tales from Grimm in 1936. Two years later she translated and illustrated Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as a reaction against the "trivialized, sterilized, and sentimentalized" Disney movie version.[37] Her essay I Like Fairy Tales was published in the March 1939 issue of The Horn Book Magazine. Nothing at All became a Caldecott Honor book for 1942. More Tales from Grimm appeared posthumously in 1947, four of her translated fairy tales were later released individually with new illustrations by Margot Tomes.
Family and domestic life[edit]
Gág liked to live and work in the country. In the early 1920s she would spend her summers drawing at various locations in rural New England, New York and Connecticut.[17] She rented a three acre farm in Glen Gardner New Jersey from 1925 to 1930 ("Tumble Timbers") and purchased a larger farm ("All Creation") in Milford, New Jersey in 1931.[38] She continued to support her unmarried adult siblings, some of whom lived with her from time to time. Wanda's brother Howard did the hand lettering for most of her picture books and she also encouraged her sister, Flavia Gág, to write illustrated books for children.[39] On August 27, 1943 Gág married her long-time paramour and business manager Earle Humphrey.[40] Gág developed lung cancer and died in New York City June 27, 1946.
Gág was honored by The Horn Book Magazine in a tribute issue in 1947.[41] Gág's papers are held in the Kerlan Collection[42] at the University of Minnesota, The New York Public Library, The University of Pennsylvania,[43] The Free Library of Philadelphia and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.[44] Her childhood home in New Ulm, Minnesota has been restored and is now the Wanda Gág House, a museum and interpretive center which offers tours and educational programs.[45] Wanda was posthumously honored with The Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 and The Kerlan Award in 1977. The Wanda Gág Read Aloud Book Award is awarded each year by the University of Minnesota, Moorhead. Her prints, drawings and watercolors are in the collection of The National Gallery of Art[46] and the British Museum,[47] and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts as well as numerous museums around the world.
Some artists who have been inspired by Wanda Gág are: Eric Rohmann,[48] Ursula Dubosarsky,[49] Susan Marie Swanson,[50] Jan Brett, Maurice Sendak,[51] and Ray Johnson[52]

Terran infested Marines which are essentially Starcraft version of the same thing don't make Starcraft rated M. | |
kylemcauliffe15 posted... Persona 3, 4, and Nocturne. Persona 4 (for those who actually played and know) had a Persona named Mara that looked like a schlong. There's no doubt the ESRB wasn't going to let that slip by on the NA version especially knowing the numnuts out there on game forums who were making a big deal out of it ... not to mention the names and looks of some of the other Persona. Don't worry, though. I don't expect some people to think outside the box or step into the shoes of someone else ... at least not here. That would require using common sense and we don't see that often here anymore. --- She blinded me with region .... Yuki Nagato, Mafuyu Oribe, Kurumu Korono, and Himari Noihara FTW | |

Product description
The Roman Revolution is a profound and unconventional treatment of a great theme - the fall of the Republic and the decline of freedom in Rome between 60 BC and AD 14, and the rise to power of the greatest of the Roman Emperors, Augustus. The transformation of state and society, the violent transference of power and property, and the establishment of Augustus' rule are presented in an unconventional narrative, which quotes from ancient evidence, refers seldomly to modern authorities, and states controversial opinions quite openly. The result is a book which is both fresh and compelling.

Nov 27, 2011Over-acting, plodding pace, too long. You can understand why this movie is well-received by critics. The plot involves the early making of movies. But that's really a distraction. The director fawns over that aspect of the plot. And why do American actors playing French people have such strong and unauthentic English accents?
Jul 26, 2012
Mar 16, 2013It`s an interesting film, It was kind of slow at times but has a good message. I like the music and time of this movie, it adds a nice feel to it. I kind of wanted more from the movie but it`s worth watching.
Jul 10, 2013Nice, cute, Hugo is a nice film and a bit tedious and um, hilarious in itself. Its too long though and it was extended. Though its good it won a few Oscars, though its kind of odd
Dec 29, 2012A pretty film in blue-ray, and one of few movies a parent can take a kid to without the inevitable F-bomb. Entertaining but slow to the point and a bit overacted.
Jan 11, 2013
May 15, 2013I didn't read the book so I don't know if its properly ported, but the movie is... omg.
It's been years since I have to stop watching a movie and this had even Oscars behind it.
The girl is extremely painful and the main character is even worse.
I'm not trying to be troll. I'm just saying that, for me, it's an incredible bored movie. -
Jan 23, 2014Martin Scorsese is one of my all time favorite directors and this movie was good,
i liked the visuals and the plot, and i like the details about movie making and all that stuff,
however i didn't like the way this movie addresses it's audience,
it seems as the story was for kids not for adults, come on if you seen it, you'll know what I'm talking about
that's my only problem with this movie. -
Apr 25, 2013
Jun 11, 2013I didn't really like this film. It was too long and boring, lame. I didn't get the message of that movie and i didn't even bother to look for it through the internet or watch the movie again. A waste of my time.
Oct 22, 2013
Nov 28, 2013A nice movie you can watch with your whole family. The main negative parts are: Main character's acting is dull and the movie could be shorter (its 126 min.) When or If you watch it fully, you will understand how come it earned 5 Oscars.
Dec 4, 2013
Dec 17, 2011Hugo has a potentially interesting and moving story to tell, but it gets lost in what turns out to be a history lesson on early cinema with an endorsement for film preservation thrown in for good measure. It is taylor made for awards season and you can feel that in every frame of film.
Feb 13, 2012"Hugo" is tedious to start off with, which is Martin Scorsese's biggest problem when making his movies. But I give credit for his imaginative visuals and rich designs. A good movie to enjoy in the end.

Feb 27, 2012It is unbelievable how a film like this one can get so many Oscar nominations. A mix of artificial technical effects, boring script, a copy of some French films style (Delicatessen, Amelie,...) but without any humour, ridiculous characters... Once again, Scorsese over-rated, unable to tell a real story, full of banalities. Nogo recommendation

Jan 20, 2012Too long. Do film makers today believe that every movie they make has to be more than two hours to qualify as a good film? Hugo needed at least twenty to thirty minutes cut out of it. I was so bored in the middle I didn't think I was going to make it to the end of the film. It got good in the end, but it took SO long to get there.

Nov 27, 2011The cinematography is a WOW. The 3D is a WOW. The acting is above average, but the movies real downfall is in its story. The comedy wasnt funny and the story takes a 180 turn halfway through with no reason. This turn in focus is not a twist neither.

Nov 25, 2011Hugo was such a beautiful movie. The level mystery in the beginning left you wondering where this movie was going. The satisfaction of learning alongside Hugo as to where the story takes you leaves your heart touched with happiness and inspiration.
Nov 26, 2011Just a wonderful movie -- especially for those who love the silents. Great performances -- especially by two youngsters and a charming, well written story. Yes, it has a "hollywood ending," but they still have a place. Go and enjoy!
May 10, 2012
Dec 2, 2011I went in to see Hugo after seeing it advertised as a film about adventure, mystery, and possibly sci-fi. I ended up scrutinizing these overemotional actors and short-lived story lines that eventually came to mean nothing once I realized the whole thing was a setup to explore the history of early film making.
Dec 15, 2011
Jan 3, 2012What to say about this film "HUGO".Director Martin Scorsese beautifully presented the story to the screen.The story filled with Adventure and Emotion of a little boy who try to do everything to know about the secret. Awesome Screenplay and Cinematography and the hard work is shown on each an every frame of the movie. It is really one of the Masterpiece in Hollywood Movies.
Dec 29, 2011hugo was a good film but for all that said it was 10/10 and 5 star were wrong it was pretty overated. not a film i would usually enjoy but a good one.

Jan 3, 2012A different side of Marty. Feels much softer also much more personal. And the 3D thing wasn't an issue during the view. The scenes in which oldest type of film were shown with the newest type of technology were amazing. Shortly yet another great piece of cinema from Marty.
Jan 3, 2012As everyone states, beautifully done. I loved how the character of Hugo was developed, particularly his revelation about broken machines. To me, the movie did feel more about Hugo than early film. A bit too long perhaps, but some fantastic performances (the always-fantastic Chloe Grace Moretz) make it easy to get through. I plan to see it again soon.
Jan 28, 2012Extremely visually wonderful (the opening scene is such a masterpiece take), in a beautiful 30's Paris, but a bit long, a bit too much of a homage (although deserved) and, for me, with a story and main character uncomfortably showing harrypotter-wannabeism.
Feb 25, 2012Definitely not as good as I thought it would be. I wonder how it can get so many Oscar nominations and the Global Award. The scenes are not beautiful. The robot is ugly. The plot is also boring. And it's really strange all the cast speaking English while the story supposed to take place in French. Only the music is satifting and Paris in night is really extraordinary.
Feb 9, 2012This flick seems to be aimed at the minds of children who can best appreciate insignificant fantasies such as this movie is. Hugo does have strengths in its visual and technical qualities such as set design, but these are not enough to catapult it to a higher level.

Nov 24, 2011I'm not sure if Mick Ock even saw the same movie I did. He claims that the "stuff about cinema" is only 20 minutes or so, when in reality it took up the entire second half of the movie (just over an hour). Hugo is a touching, heart-felt movie, if you have the intelligence to get it.

Nov 24, 2011I am very torn about this film, as I think it contains some really bad directing by a great director. Ouch. On the other hand, once the film finds its pace and leads to its lovely conclusion I found myself deeply moved. It is not just a piece of fluffy entertainment, and yet it is very entertaining. Admittedly

Mar 6, 2012visually pleasing and a not all together unpleasing 2 hour distraction, but FAR from a masterpiece. characters are two dimensional and their interactions are unbelievable. ben kingsley's portrayal is unconvincing and sasha baron cohen is plain terrible. if it wasn't for the high production value, this movie would be merit-less.
Nov 23, 2011A major disappointment. What a mess. While it was fine from a technical standpoint, the story was completely unengaging. The result is a big beautiful mess. And these reviews about how it's a "Love letter to cinema" are laughable. The movie's about the young boy, and the stuff about "Cinema" is only about 20 minutes or so at the end of the movie, and has nothing to do with the boy's story at all.

Nov 27, 2011Very few movies hit me with emotional impact, when the movie is a visual masterpiece as well. Every visually gorgeous film I've seen, lacked storytelling, character, and depth. This movie was stunning, in every way. See "Hugo." It truly is, a masterpiece.

Nov 23, 2011Having seen over 4,000 films in my life, while I'm not a critic, I do think I can say, without hesitation or reservation, that The American Film Institute now has a new movie to place in the top 10 greatest films of all time, Hugo.

Dec 24, 2011â
Nov 24, 2011A wonderful movie for all ages. Beautiful art direction, and score. Hugo is not what I thought it would be, but it was something better. A story about french cinema, on protecting it through the years. The movie plays out slowly but great. The opening sequence was marvelous, as it sets up for the rest of the movie. This movie should be walking away with some Oscars come February.
Dec 24, 2011HUGO is the one of the most wonderfully pleasant movies I have ever seen ... The first time I have actually felt "movie magic." Please do not miss this movie.

Dec 23, 2011A nicely written story, visually pleasing with good acting. Somewhat predictable but I wasn't much in the mood for a challenge, just sit back and enjoy the costumes, sets, colors, dialogue. Some of the characters were caricatures (the adults) and they were a bit over the top and light on dialogue but enough to propel the story forward. This will be a classic. Enjoy it with the family.
Dec 11, 2011
Although a nip and a tuck here and there might improve Hugo's overall pace, there is no denying that this love letter to the movies is something to cherish.
For all the wizardry on display, Hugo often feels like a film about magic instead of a magical film.
Visually Hugo is a marvel, but dramatically it's a clockwork lemon.

Life course trajectories of systolic blood pressure using longitudinal data from eight UK cohorts
Wills, Andrew K., Lawlor, Debbie A., Matthews, Fiona E., Aihie Sayer, Avan, Bakra, Eleni, Ben-Shlomo, Yoav, Benzeval, Michaela, Brunner, Eric, Cooper, Rachel, Kivimaki, Mika, Kuh, Diana, Muniz-Terrera, Graciela and Hardy, Rebecca (2011) Life course trajectories of systolic blood pressure using longitudinal data from eight UK cohorts. PLoS Medicine, 8, (6), e1000440. (doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.1000440). (PMID:21695075).

Background: Much of our understanding of the age-related progression of systolic blood pressure (SBP) comes from cross-sectional data, which do not directly capture within-individual change. We estimated life course trajectories of SBP using longitudinal data from seven population-based cohorts and one predominantly white collar occupational cohort, each from the United Kingdom and with data covering different but overlapping age periods.
Methods and Findings: Data are from 30,372 individuals and comprise 102,583 SBP observations spanning from age 7 to 80+y. Multilevel models were fitted to each cohort. Four life course phases were evident in both sexes: a rapid increase in SBP coinciding with peak adolescent growth, a more gentle increase in early adulthood, a midlife acceleration beginning in the fourth decade, and a period of deceleration in late adulthood where increases in SBP slowed and SBP eventually declined. These phases were still present, although at lower levels, after adjusting for increases in body mass index though adulthood. The deceleration and decline in old age was less evident after excluding individuals who had taken antihypertensive medication. Compared to the population-based cohorts, the occupational cohort had a lower mean SBP, a shallower annual increase in midlife, and a later midlife acceleration. The maximum sex difference was found at age 26 (+8.2 mm Hg higher in men, 95% CI: 6.7, 9.8); women then experienced steeper rises and caught up by the seventh decade.
Conclusions: Our investigation shows a general pattern of SBP progression from childhood in the UK, and suggests possible differences in this pattern during adulthood between a general population and an occupational population.

Pentagon to Lift Ban on Combat Duty for Women
A top Pentagon official says U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is lifting the ban that keeps women from combat duty in the military.

 The official says Panetta will make a formal announcement later Thursday, adding that this is something Panetta has wanted to do since becoming defense chief in 2011. He already has opened 50,000 military jobs to women in the last two years.

Countries That Allow Combat Duty for Women:

 Australia

 Canada

 Denmark

 Finland

 France

 Germany

 Israel

 New Zealand

 Norway

 Poland

 Sweden

 The official says Panetta is giving military chiefs until May to draw up plans for implementing the new policy, which could open thousands of frontline combat positions to women in all U.S. military services -- Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

 In the military, serving in combat positions remains key to career advancement. Women have long said that by not recognizing their real service, the military has unfairly held them back.

 Women still may be excluded from some combat jobs in the future and will have to meet strict physical requirements for every job. The Pentagon official says the chiefs of U.S. military services will have three years to study that issue.<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.voanews.com/content/pentagon-lifts-ban-on-combat-duty-for-women/1589722.html"/><meta name="syndication-source" content="http://www.voanews.com/content/pentagon-lifts-ban-on-combat-duty-for-women/1589722.html"/>

Quintessential live music with on request mexican favorites. The ambiance is perfect for a loud family establishment. Food was good for the price, still a bit much. However, the fresh guacamole made table side and the Crepas De Cajeta are well worth a return trip. Service was good, too good at times. Dishes were whisked away before everyone at the table was finished. One lone dinner ate as the others looked on plateless. Lacking a mess in-between courses the staff asked us to hold our drinks high in order to change the paper on the table. Raising our frozen margaritas (and occasional centerpiece) in name of a good time! All the tables got the same treatment that night. Those two events aside the staff was a flawless team! Recommended for a laid back evening with friends.

Picture this: a mobile chef mashes fresh guacamole, spiced to taste, alongside your table. A mariachi band, complete with blaring trumpeter and a man on the guitarron, the huge 6-string, deep acoustic bass, plays your favorite Mexican folk songs con ritmo. Mama Mexico is a cyclone of motion, not a quiet romantic spot but a fun and bustling restaurant with good skirt steaks, paella and sun streaming in from glass windows. It is a kid-friendly locale so dont freak if you dodge children running up the aisles with birthday party balloons in their hands. They fit right in. Only complaints are the prices, which do not gouge but sting a little, and fact I sometimes have to remind a fairly professional but very busy staff to bring my second drink. But you know what? I forgive them and want to return pronto. Hate the idea that the party goes on without me. Miki Matos Vega

What a fun and lively place. It is so loud and such a sensory overload that everything works and makes it fun and perfect. The food was good, Enchiladas Bandera gets you 3 different Enchiladas for $15. Not sure if the tableside guac (not that good) is worth $11 for the small portion. We only got one refill of chips. Mariachi are fun and their water service was stellar...I kept saying no more water please and I would look down and have a full glass.

This restaurant is fantastic. The nachos are fantastic and the guacomole is made in front of you. The ambience is great and really relaxed. The food is superb. This is my second visit to NY, the first time I came over this was the best restaurant we went to and on this visit this was the one thing I had been looking forward to. It is quite a small place but the staff are very friendly and you get entertained by caballeros. I would definately go back again and I recommend this restaurant to EVERYONE!!!!

One year ago, when signs were starting to point to a recession, my colleague John Reeves and I compiled a list of the previous recession's top 10 stocks to discover any patterns that would help our investing this time around. That list provided a number of fascinating insights, some of which we had expected, while others surprised us.
While their names may have changed from a year ago, the general lessons remain the same.
Our screen looked for domestic and Canadian stocks that were valued above $250 million and traded on major exchanges -- stocks the individual American investor would have been likely to actually buy.
Drum roll, please ...
The top 10 performers since the start of the last recession are listed below, with their performances during the recession listed in the fourth column:

Data from Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.
* Duration of recession, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Every one of the top 10 stocks was either a small or mid cap. This shouldn't be surprising, as small caps not only outperform during recessions, but are also overrepresented among the highest-performing stocks in general.
Last year, we were surprised that three of the top 10 stocks hailed from the energy sector -- conventional wisdom, after all, holds that energy companies would be hurt by falling demand during a downturn. This year, two energy stocks remain on the list, while technology stocks have the most representation.
Given that these computer-related firms were pummeled during the Nasdaq crash, it wouldn't have seemed the most likely area for investors to have bet on. For instance, look at the pre-recession (January 2000 to February 2001) returns for those three companies:
- Apple: -64%
- Priceline: -95%
- McAfee: -75%
The collapse of the Internet bubble made it a brutal time for many high-tech companies, so investors were justifiably panicked. But those that sold or were too afraid to buy missed out on incredible long-term growth stories.
But back to that table above. What are the major lessons from the top 10 stocks since the last recession?
1. Today's "high-tech" companies
Just as three of the top 10 recession stocks hailed from a beaten-down sector (technology), we shouldn't be surprised if there are a select few financials that will outperform over the next eight years. Apple and Priceline posted losses in 2001, so, based on a casual glance at their financials, it was undoubtedly difficult to separate them from the countless tech companies that went bust. Similarly, there will be winners amid today's beaten-down financial stocks, but to pick the right ones, you'll need a rock-solid understanding of the business, accounting statements, and management team.
2. No time for timing
It's very difficult to accurately time sector bets. During downturns, many investors flee to "recession-resistant" industries and firms -- for example, well-run conglomerates like General Electric (NYSE: GE ) , utilities such as Exelon (NYSE: EXC ) , and beverage makers like PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP ) . It's not necessarily a bad idea to allocate somewhat defensively, but the cleverest investors don't throw all their money into a small number of industries with the expectation that they will be able to reallocate to bull market favorites right before everyone else does.
Over the past year, each of the aforementioned defensive stocks and industries underperformed Home Depot (NYSE: HD ) , McDonald's, and AutoZone as well as their respective industries -- home supply, restaurants, and auto retail (of all things). In addition to the unlikely energy and tech winners from the lists above, this surprise underscores just how unpredictable the market is in the short term, and thus how difficult it is to make accurate sector bets, much less to time them appropriately.
3. Still no time for timing
It's also very difficult to correctly time individual stock picks. Professors Barber and Odean confirmed this point in a massive study of more than 66,000 household brokerage accounts. The duo concluded that "overconfidence can explain high trading levels ... [which is] hazardous to your wealth."
According to their extensive data, as trading activity increased, performance declined, with the most active traders underperforming the average household by 5 percentage points annually!
In the cases of Apple, Priceline, and McAfee, investors who sold out at a huge loss or were too afraid to buy missed out on enormous gains over the following several years. And in eight of the 10 cases in our table above, penny-pinchers who waited until the end of the recession for a slightly cheaper entry price never got one.
That's why when John Bogle recently visited us at Fool HQ he remarked that the first question each of us must ask ourselves is, "Am I an investor, or am I a speculator?" Speculators waste their energies trying to forecast short-term price movements. Investors recognize that it's impossible to know when the market will turn, so they focus on minimizing transaction costs and buying great businesses to own for the long term.
How to invest in recessions
The list above, along with the examples of the savviest investors (Buffett, Marty Whitman, Chuck Royce) suggest that the smart thing to do right now is to continue to invest in great companies at reasonable prices. The market could remain volatile and even irrational in the short run, so it makes sense to gradually add money (assuming you don't need it for the next three to five years) to the strongest companies across a variety of sectors.
That's our philosophy at Motley Fool Stock Advisor, where we focus on selecting stocks that we'd be comfortable holding for the long term. Despite launching in the midst of the last bear market, our average pick is beating the S&P 500 by more than 29 percentage points.

Kiran and his Seemandhra Cabinet colleagues, barring Balaraju and Dokka, submit their affidavits
With several Seemandhra legislators yet to get their turn to express views on the A. P Reorganisation Bill in the Assembly and Council owing to disruption of the proceedings, their focus has shifted to ensuring that all those opposing bifurcation submit their 'affidavits' in writing to the presiding officers.
While Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and his Seemandhra Cabinet colleagues, barring P. Balaraju and Dokka Manikya Varaprasad submitted their affidavits on Wednesday expressing their opposition to the proposed bifurcation of the State and rejecting the AP Reorganisation Bill-2013.
More than 80 MLAs and over 50 members in the Council expressed their views in the House so far while the session would end on Thursday after a week's extension. Though the Chief Minister wrote a letter on Tuesday seeking three more weeks to let every member give his/her view on the draft bifurcation Bill, there was no response from the President's office so far. If the legislature session draws to a close on Thursday itself, the affidavits to be submitted to President through the Speaker and Council Chairman would be equally valid. "They are as good as giving opinion on the floor of the House," said a senior Seemandhra Congress legislator.
Of the 75 members in the Council, over 40 submitted their affidavits opposing the bifurcation Bill and two to three members were either neutral or would offer conditional support based on amendments proposed. The remaining few members opposed to the Bill would submit their affidavits on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Seemandhra TDP and Congress legislators in both the Houses gave a notice to the presiding officers on last Friday and Saturday seeking to move a resolution rejecting defective bifurcation Bill and return it to the Centre. This was stoutly opposed by the Telangana legislators who demanded the withdrawal of the notice resulting in disruption of both the Houses.

Buying Interest in Stocks: Improved, But Still A Mixed Picture
The NYSE TICK assesses, at roughly six second intervals, the number of NYSE stocks trading on upticks minus those trading on downticks. By cumulating the one-minute NYSE TICK values, we can gain a longer-term sense for whether buying (trading on upticks) sentiment or selling (trading on downticks) sentiment is dominating. The cumulative TICK line (bottom chart; blue line above) bottomed with the ES futures (pink line) and, since then, has moved steadily higher as stocks have consolidated. This buying interest is showing up in my indicators; on Monday my Demand Index (an index of the number of NYSE, NASDAQ, and ASE stocks closing above their volatility envelopes) was 98; Supply (an index of stocks closing below their envelopes) was only 6.
As noted in my indicator review, the large majority of issues have rebounded from their lows; on Monday, for instance, we saw 80 NYSE stocks make new 20-day highs and 52 make fresh lows. At the market bottom, over three-quarters of NYSE issues made fresh 20-day lows. In spite of this, the money flow indicator for Dow stocks (top chart) continues to remain negative, as the four-day moving average (pink line) remains well below the neutral zero (blue) level. Money flow is very sensitive to the distribution of large trades transacted on upticks vs. downticks. So far, it continues to tell us that traders in size are hitting bids in Dow stocks more than they are lifting offers. It will be necessary to get those large traders on board if the recent market firmness is to develop into a full-fledged uptrend.

Do you really think the Dow can be up 400 with size hitting the bid? And small lots taking?
I don't trust any readings based on block trades as the black boxes and dark pools obfuscate everything. - 10:02 PM
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
No question that dark pools pose a challenge to any volume-based market assessment. Also, note that it's the 4-day MA of flow that is negative, not the one-day reading when the mkt was up 400.

This Blond Baby's Now a Macho Reality Star — You'll Never Guess Who!
It's Joe Giudice!
Believe it or not, this blond tot is Joe Giudice, husband of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice. "Yes that blonde boy is Juicy Joe...." Teresa tweeted when posting this photo. Joe notoriously doesn't get along that well with his brother-in-law, Joe Gorga, and he often finds himself in the middle of a ton of family drama on the show. However, during Season 6 he and Joe Gorga have actually patched things up, and Joe Giudice has mostly stayed low key, focusing on his fam in light of his legal problems. Were you surprised to find out who it was, or did you have a hunch all along?

The first 'Edge Of Tomorrow' trailer launched on Apple, YouTube and the Mega-Interwebs today and judging from the response in social, it more than lived up to the first-look intensity expectations of fans around the globe…
Oscar nominee Tom Cruise (the "Mission: Impossible" films, "Collateral," "Jerry Maguire") and Emily Blunt ("The Devil Wears Prada," "The Adjustment Bureau") star in Warner Bros. Pictures' and Village Roadshow Pictures' sci-fi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow," under the direction of Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith")…

Search 'Edge Of Tomorrow' on TomCruise.com
The Story…
Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.
But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
The international cast also includes Bill Paxton ("Aliens," HBO's "Big Love"), Kick Gurry (Australian TV's "Tangle"), Dragomir Mrsic ("Snabba Cash II"), Charlotte Riley ("World Without End"), Jonas Armstrong (BBC TV's "Robin Hood"), and Franz Drameh ("Attack the Block").
Ooh this looks good…

Liman is directing "Edge of Tomorrow" from a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth, based on the acclaimed novel All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Erwin Stoff produces, along with Tom Lassally, Jason Hoffs, Gregory Jacobs and Jeffrey Silver. The executive producers are Doug Liman, Dave Bartis, Joby Harold, Hidemi Fukuhara, and Bruce Berman, with Kim Winther and Tim Lewis serving as co-producers.
The behind-the-scenes team includes Academy Award®-winning director of photography Dion Beebe ("Memoirs of a Geisha"), production designer Oliver Scholl ("Jumper," "Independence Day"), editor James Herbert ("Sherlock Holmes," "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows"), costume designer Kate Hawley (upcoming "Pacific Rim"), and Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Nick Davis ("The Dark Knight").
"Edge of Tomorrow" is the first motion picture to be shot at the recently christened Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.
"Edge of Tomorrow" is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures. Opening domestically on June 6, 2014, the film will be distributed in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow.
The new Tom Cruise movie, #EdgeOfTomorrow looks like it could be pretty awesome. If it's half as good as Oblivion it'll be amazing.

i've been using an mpc for a few years now and its always been a solid piece of equipment. i really like how its self-sustaining, that i don't need to use a computer or anything to put together sequences and make a beat.
my point is, i've been seeing a lot people using the maschine claiming it can do things the mpc can't, it runs its owns software, its an overall better instrument yadayada. is this really something worth investing time to check out? is just a good live performance type of equipment?

Tropical Storm Hermine lashed South Texas
RAYMONDVILLE - Tropical Storm Hermine gave a wet and windy punch to Texas on Tuesday but left only minor scrapes in the storm-weary Rio Grande Valley, which is proving resilient this hurricane season after taking a third tropical system on the chin.
Hermine lost steam after crossing into Texas with tropical storm strength. A peeled-back motel roof in the coastal farming town of Raymondville and scattered power outages were about the worst leftover from the gusty, drenching storm that came and went quickly after creeping up on Texas and Mexico in the warm Gulf waters over the long holiday weekend.
"I think we're lucky. It could've been worse," said Art Nelson, sizing up the hulking aluminum shed that collapsed on a farming plow at his John Deere store in Raymondville.
Mexico didn't get off as easy. Hermine knocked out power for several hours in Matamoros and damaged about 20 homes, whose inhabitants were among 3,500 people who evacuated to shelters.
About 1,000 families were still in shelters Tuesday morning. Authorities in Mexico said there were no reports of serious injuries or death, which was welcome news after 12 people in Mexico died in flooding caused by Hurricane Alex earlier this summer.
Texas also had no reports of serious injuries, and evacuations orders weren't necessary even in the most low-lying regions. It was another sigh of relief for the flood-prone Rio Grande Valley, which got lashed by Alex at the start of the summer and soaked by another tropical system in July.
So damp is the area that only last week did Hidalgo County finally put away its last water-pumping machine. But much of the 5 inches to a foot of rain from Hermine fell harmlessly in the Gulf, and flooding was limited to only minor nuisances.
The storm made landfall early Tuesday in northeastern Mexico with winds of up to 65 mph (100 kph), arriving near the same spot as Alex. But Hermine was expected to cover more of the U.S. than Alex, which swiped Texas in June as a Category 1 storm before plunging southwest and breaking up over Mexico.
Forecasters expect Hermine's remnants to spread as far north as Oklahoma and Kansas. Flash flood advisories remained in effect for counties in path of the slowly dissolving storm.
"This is going to be much more of a memorable storm than Alex," National Weather Service meteorologist Joseph Tomaselli said.
In Mexico, authorities had released water from some dams to make room for rain. It added more anxiety in the northeast cattle-ranching region where residents already live under the fear of a bloody turf war between drug cartels. Hermine struck around the same area where 72 migrants were killed two weeks ago in what is believed to be the country's worst drug gang massacre to date.
By Tuesday afternoon, lights were gradually turning back on for about 50,000 people who lost power. Practically all of Raymondville had been in the dark after Hermine blew out signs, snapped utility poles and skinned the roof of the Best Rest Inn motel.
Melodie Tamyl and Roy Tamez were in their second-story room when their ceiling began bowing up and down. They opened the door just in time to watch the wood awning flip violently backward.
"I told (Melodie) that we've got to get out of here right now," said Tamez, 52. "The whole roof is about to go."
The couple returned Tuesday to find half the roof over their room gone and their bedding soaked and soiled with ceiling tile and mud. They picked through soggy clothes and food, salvaging what they could.
Hermine made landfall barely a day after becoming a tropical storm. That left many south Texas residents with little notice, but also gave the storm little time to build up steam.

Thread: another busy day
another busy day
Marlborough Firefighters had to contend with a three car motor vehicle accident on the highway, a reported structure fire and a reported natural gas leak in a home...all within an hour and a half!
The accident occured on I 290 Eastbound. the Driver of a Plymouth PT Cruiser had not been paying attention to the slowed traffic up ahead (traffic from 290 exiting onto I 495 North and South.) He rear ended a Mercury Sable at high speed, pushing it to a 10 wheel dump truck. The PT cruisder then struck a Chevy Blazer, flipping it from the middle lane to off the side of the road, then the PT Cruiser came to a stop. Engine 2 and Rescue 1 were dispatched. Acting Lt. Dan Auger of Engine 2 requested mutual aid from the Northborough FD (Northborough Engine 1, Rescue 1 and Ambulances A1 and A2), Marlborough Engine 1 was special called as well as Patriot Ambulance P2 and P6. A total of 6 patients were extricated between the three vehicles, all were taken to UMass Medical Center in Worcester. Engine 3 was detailed to HQ to cover.
Just as Rescue 1 and Engine 1 cleared the accident scene, there was a report of a structure fire at 14 Kirby Street. Marlborough Engine 3 and Ladder 2 responded from HQ, with Rescue 1 and Engine 1 responding from I 290 On arrival, Acting Lt. Al Lizotte reported a fire in the basement bulkhead area that hasd been knocked down by a neighbor using a garden hose. Apparently, the homeowner was mowing the lawn and placed the gas can in the basement of the home. His two year old child had entered the bulkhead and knocked over the gas can. Theh vapoerrs found an ignition source in the water heater, then flashed. The child was cuaht in the flash and received minor burns, the father had smoke inhalation from rescuing the child. The father and child were taken to UMass Medical Center for evaluation.
During the Kirby Street incident, Engine 2 cleared I 290 and went to HQ to cover. Just as Rescue 1, Engine 1, Ladder 2 pulled into quarters and Engine 2 cleared HQ, Fire alarm received a 911 call reporting a heavy odor of natural gas in a residence on Elm Heights Terrace. The full 1st alarm assignment of Engine 2, Engine 1, Rescue 1 and Ladder 2 was detailed to the call. First due Engine 2 reported that the odor had dissipated with no readings on the meter and cancelled the balance of the response.

dc.description.abstract | Members of the family Chlamydiae cause a wide range of diseases. Chlamydia trachomatis and C. pneumoniae are most commonly associated with human disease. C. psittaci and C. pecorum are largely animal pathogens, although C. psittaci can cause pneumonia in the elderly and immunocompromised. A vaccine against these pathogens is desirable, but although multiple vaccine regimens have been examined, none have proven truly effective. Studies were conducted to evaluate the use of recombinant vaccinia virus (VV) vectors encoding chlamydial proteins as vaccine candidates using a guinea pig model. In the first study, guinea pigs were immunized with varying amounts of attenuated VV encoding either the M6 protein of Streptococcus pyogenes or chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) from E. coli. The purpose of this study was: (1) determine how much attenuated virus can be given intranasally to guinea pigs without causing death; (2) characterize the humoral and secretory antibody response to both the viral vector and M6 protein; and (3) develop a protocol for animal manipulation, and sample collection and storage for use in future research. The results obtained indicate that 10⁹ PFU of attenuated VV can be given intranasally to guinea pigs. Serum IgG was detected against VV proteins, as determined by immunoblotting. Antibodies against M6 could not be similarly detected in serum, or by direct enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). IgG could not be detected by immunoblotting against either VV or M6 in saliva. The purpose of the second part of this research was to evaluate the potential efficacy of a vaccine using the C. psittaci guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis (GPIC) strain proteins IncA and TroA. Guinea pigs were immunized intranasally with either PBS, control vaccinia virus, rVV:IncA, or rVV:TroA. Three weeks after immunization animals were challenged by ocular infection with C. psittaci elementary bodies (EBs). Eye swabs were taken following challenge and titered to determine the chlamydial load. Results indicate that rVV:TroA provides no protection against chlamydial challenge. Titers from rVV:IncA immunized animals appeared to be somewhat lower than those of the controls on day 4 post-challenge. This difference, however, proved not to be statistically significant. A single immunization with rVV:IncA or rVV:TroA was thus shown not lead to a protective immune response in guinea pigs under the conditions tested. | en_US |

Installed an ARB compressor a couple months back but just got to cleaning up the install, so here are some pics.
I made this bracket to bolt to existing studs on fender well. Also used existing hole for the relay.
Ran wiring along existing loom on firewall.
Hooked 12v constant to terminal in fuse block, ground to battery ground on fender wall and ran the switch wires through the loom near the steering column.
I had to take apart the whole damn dash to get to the location where I wanted to put the switch. Next to the A-TRAC and AUX
Here is the switch location I chose. The only blank spot I had for a toggle is now occupied. I did have to trin off the backing material used for Toyota toggles and open up the hole very little vertically.
I think it turned out great. Works wonderfully. Thanks to my cousin Jimmy for the hook up at 4Wheel Parts.

Is this the real 'it' for Brett Favre?
By Kevin Seifert
Brett Favre is inactive for the Monday night game against the Giants. Backup Tarvaris Jackson will start in his place.
DETROIT -- Has
Brett Favre
thrown his final NFL pass? That's a postgame question we'll have for Favre, who won't play Monday night against the
New York Giants
because of a sprained SC joint near his right shoulder.
The Vikings have three games remaining after tonight, and ESPN's Ed Werder reported the team is giving serious thought to placing him on injured reserve. Doing so would eliminate the spectacle of a 41-year-old quarterback trying to heal quickly enough to squeeze in one or two more starts before heading into retirement.
That decision wouldn't necessarily be up to Favre, but we'll see in a few hours if he thinks it's a possibility.

A reliability-based output feedback control methodology is presented for controlling the dynamic response of systems that are represented by linear state-space models. The design criterion is based on a robust failure probability for the system. This criterion provides robustness for the controlled system by considering a probability distribution over a set of possible system models with a stochastic model of the excitation so that robust performance is expected. The control command signal can be calculated using incomplete response measurements at previous time steps without requiring state estimation. Examples of robust structural control using an active mass driver on a shear building model and on a benchmark structure are presented to illustrate the proposed method.
