'Market Warriors' takes antiquing to the next competitive levelAdd to Favorites | Market Warriors
We tend to learn by watching others. That's why television is such a powerful tool. And while some networks are famous for teaching us what not to do (hi, Snooki!), PBS has a history of giving us all sorts of knowledge we didn't even know we needed. (Did you know that 18th-century furniture-making German immigrants in Pennsylvania had a penchant for painting tulips on their white pine pieces?) We'll learn even more when "Market Warriors" premieres Monday, July 16 (check local listings).
Though its DNA is decidedly "Antiques Roadshow" -- not surprising, since it comes from the same producers -- "Market Warriors" pits four expert pickers against one another in a friendly challenge to get the best deal. They'll scour flea markets across the country looking for vintage goodies in predetermined categories (costume jewelry, floor lamps, etc.), each with the same amount of cash. At the end they sell their treasures at auction to see who got the biggest bang for their buck. And, as is so often the case, we'll learn all along the way.
"We have a goal of learning about everything we are buying," executive producer Marsha Bemko tells Zap2it. "This is still a young field of study, and knowledgeable people will buy or sell things multiple times and even make mistakes along the way. We will even see their mistakes. We're learning the entire time."
And while the four pickers -- Kevin Bruneau, John Bruno, Miller Gaffney and Bob Richter -- might be new to viewers, a familiar voice, Fred Willard ("Best in Show," "Modern Family"), is the off-screen host, offering wry commentary throughout. "We are all Fred fans," says Bemko.
So at the end of the day what's in it for the pickers? A big prize? Cash money?
"We are still public television, so we aren't going to give out any of our money," says Bemko, laughing. "But there is a lot at stake for these guys. Reputation can be worth seven figures to these guys."

Medina Man Sentenced to 14 Years for Drug and Gun Crimes
Madison, Wis. - John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Juan M. Flores-Olague, 56, Medina, Wis., was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb to 14 years in prison, for distributing cocaine and for possessing firearms in furtherance of his drug distribution. Flores-Olague pleaded guilty to these charges on February 27, 2012.
From September 2010 to November 2011, Flores-Olague sold cocaine to an undercover officer on seven occasions. Flores-Olague distributed the cocaine from his home, and officers executed a search warrant at the home on November 17, 2011. During the search, officers recovered nine grams of cocaine, a handgun, a scale and $3,820 in the master bedroom. Hidden in the kitchen ceiling tiles, officers recovered three handguns, ammunition, and $49,800. Flores-Olague admitted to police that he had been selling cocaine for three years and that he sold approximately one ounce a week.
The charges against Flores-Olague were the result of an investigation by the Dane County Narcotics and Gang Task Force and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The prosecution of this case has been assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney Rita M. Rumbelow.

The Aspire V5 has a plastics body and is slimmer and with 2 kg also lighter than the competition. Acer has targeted users looking for a portable machine. In many aspects, this device is average in its class and does not stand out. The 15.6 inch capacitive touchscreen features a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and supports 10-point inputs, which is perfect for the pre-installed Windows 8. Colors are bright and crisp, and the viewing angles leave nothing to complain about. The full-sized chiclet keyboard with number pad offers a decent typing experience. In addition, it comes with an extra- large clickable touchpad with support for Windows 8 gestures.
Inside the Aspire V5 there is a 750GB hard drive, which is a decent amount of storage, and a 1.8GHz Intel Core i3-3217U ULV dual core processor. The performance is sufficient when compared to competitors of the same price range. It can handle light multimedia tasks easily, but is not suitable for hardcore gaming. But, casual social games are not a problem. Considering how thin and light the build is, battery life is a concern. Unfortunately, the Acer Aspire V5 fares much, much worse than the competition here. Overall, this is a good looking, well designed machine for an affordable price. Battery life is its main shortcoming, but if that's not an issue, the Acer Aspire V5 is great value.

Modified Mustangs & FordsFeatured Vehicles
2006 Mustang GT White Lightning
This Turbocharged Terror Runs As Good As It Looks
Nick Burch of Farmington, Missouri, is a self des-cribed "Mustang nut." His affliction dates back to his first Mustang, which was a '95 5.0L GT. Nick didn't waste any time going for the big time in Mustang performance and his first car was soon running 11.60s at 122 miles per hour in the quarter. A Kenne Belle supercharger along with a sturdy reciprocating assembly helped him do it. His next love was an '03 Mach 1. Nick tells us that he was amazed with what a set of 4.10 gears and a 100 horse shot of nitrous did to wake up the already rev-happy 32-valve engine. The eighth-mile times for the Mach 1 were good at 7.83 at 90 miles per hour.
Then one fine day Nick and a friend were having a discussion about the S197 Mustang styling and performance improvements. While happy with his Mach 1, the two friends decided to adjourn to the local Ford dealer to further study the question. While there, a salesman took the time to explain the deals available on a new car. Nick says that he was "curious," and asked what the monthly payments would be. They were calculated and the next thing you know Nick was driving home in a new '06 Mustang GT.
A month later he called and ordered an HP Performance 60mm turbo kit for the new car. It didn't take long for Nick and a couple of buddies to get the turbo installed and running right. "The fun of the new turbo kit was fine," Nick tells us, but he wanted more.
Nick started at the bottom of the engine and worked his way up, beginning with Modular Mustang Racing's MMR 900 short-block assembly. Using a cast-iron '04 Cobra block as a basis, the engine was going to be up to the challenge of the bigger 70mm turbocharger he had planned. Combined with a Lethal Performance heavy-duty fuel system and a very careful tune, now Nick has his '06 GT running hard-going 11.30 at 128 miles per hour in the quarter.
As we look at his third Mustang we can't help but notice the persistent pattern in his story. In each and every Mustang Nick has owned there is the common denominator of immediate performance improvement. In every case he didn't waste any time in expanding the car's performance envelope, making each Mustang into the specialized machine he desired. We salute Nick as the enthusiastic sort of person whose persistent passion for high-performance Mustangs drives the hobby forward.
Firm Foundations
Modular Mustang Racing
(www.modularmustangracing.com; (805) 650-1853) now offers several replacement short-block assemblies for an advanced modular engine project. Beginning at the 600hp level, these offerings all use the '04 Cobra Mustang cast iron cylinder block for maximum strength. This block was borrowed from the 32-valve Ter-minator engine, but can be used with any of the modular cylinder heads, including the Two-Valve, Three-Valve, and Four-Valve units. Moving up to the 800hp version, the cast iron crankshaft is replaced with a 4340 forged steel piece.
The 900hp assembly, which Nick has in his car, includes super stout Manley H-beam connecting rods and pistons for normally aspirated or blown applications, which are part of the customer's choice. Use whatever upper end you decide to use, with this specialized short-block assembly as a basis for your project, things are going to stay together no matter how much power you're planning on making.

Julianne Hough Goes For Different and Daring Emmys Dress: "Ryan Likes It"
Julianne Hough looks like America's Sweetheart, but she's not afraid to take risks on the red carpet. The two-time Dancing With the Stars champion and current movie star is attending tonight's Emmy Awards with boyfriend Ryan Seacrest's family — and she's ready to introduce viewers to a different Julianne.
Julianne told Life & Style she's wearing couture for the first time in her life and she's excited about it, but she admitted her look is also "daring and very different from what people have seen me in. We'll see if I can pull it off." She said Ryan likes it, so that's probably the biggest plus. Then again, what boyfriend would tell his sweetie, "No! Don't wear that"?
We can't wait to check out her look tonight, then you can weigh in with your opinion. We're guessing it's a "wow!" look that she pulls off big-time. (We're also guessing Tom Bergeron finally wins that DWTS hosting Emmy he's deserved for years. We'll find out soon if we're right!)

Snooki's Labor Advice for Kim Kardashian
Snooki has already doled out relationship advice to fellow celebrities like Amber Rose and Rihanna, and now in her latest Celebaby Report she dishes some advice and tips on labor to mother-to-be Kim Kardashian.
The topic? How to look glam during labor ("'cause it's a bitch"), something Snooki mastered when she wore a fabulous leopard print birthing gown while delivering her son, Lorenzo LaValle.Snooki told Kim that when you meet your baby for the first time, "you have to look flawless," and offered some tips on how to pull it off. Snooki advised re-doing your makeup in the hospital, saying that during her long 27 hours in labor, all she did was put on makeup and watch cartoons.
Because "the hospital rooms are boring," Snooki told Kim to choose her makeup palette wisely. Hilariously, she also advised to bring extra eyelashes to the hospital — possibly even a whole box. She let Kim know that hospital gowns are "ugly," so make sure to bring your own! Her own leopard print satin gown made her feel beautiful while she was in labor.
In terms of accessorizing, Snooki said not to wear big hoop earrings as they can get caught in your extensions, but you can wear nice "diamond studs so you look really cute in your selfies."
Finally, she advised a pedicure at least a week before your due date, because "your feet will be in the air for everyone to see." Plus, you should make sure your mascara is waterproof, because you're going to be crying from the joy and pain, and in Snooki's words, "you do not want to look like a zebra."
Oh Snooki, we love you. Check out Snooki's hilarious video, then let us know what you think about her tips for Kim K!

A newly-discovered comet looks likely to blaze brightly in our skies late next year. Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON), is due to come within 0.012 astronomical units (AU) of the sun - just 1.1 million miles - on 29 November 2013. How brightly it will shine is still hard to determine, as there's a chance it will just boil away completely, as comet Elenin did last year.

MIDLAND, MICHIGAN – November 16, 2010 – The Dow Chemical Company has been selected by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL) as a research partner for the new U.S.-China Clean Energy Research Center (CERC) Consortium on Building Energy Efficiency. Additionally, Dow will chair the CERC Industrial Advisory Board. The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) formally approved and awarded the proposal submitted by LBNL, leader of the Consortium, to develop and implement energy efficiency technologies for residential and commercial buildings. Dow will contribute funding to the CERC Building Energy Efficiency Consortium, as well as in-kind research support and practical commercialization expertise through Dow Building & Construction, a business unit of Dow and a global leader in building science related to insulation, energy efficiency and protection against wind, rain and moisture. "Together, the dynamic economies of the United States and China lead the world in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions which are directly linked to significant energy inefficiencies in the building sectors in each country," said William Jackson, global research and development director for Dow Building & Construction and chair of the CERC Industrial Advisory Board. "The CERC Consortium's mission is to identify and implement new, affordable solutions to improve energy efficiency in homes and buildings. This initiative is critical, timely, and full of potential for China, the United States and the world. Dow's selection as an industrial research partner is not only a great honor, but an exceptional opportunity to help us fulfill the Dow 2015 Sustainability Goals relating to energy efficiency, climate change, sustainable chemistry and breakthroughs to world challenges." In October, the CERC Consortium for Building Energy Efficiency was granted $12.5 million from DOE over five years, and another $12.5 million in matching funds will come from Consortium partners in the United States. Chinese counterparts, currently being finalized, will contribute an additional $25 million. In addition to LBNL, the consortium includes seven U.S. research partners: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Natural Resources Defense Council (Beijing branch), ICF International (Beijing branch), National Association of State Energy Offices, Association of State Energy Research and Technology Transfer Institutions, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of California, Davis. "As a major corporate citizen of China and the United States, Dow is very proud to play a prominent role in the Consortium's mission of helping both countries become residential and commercial building energy efficiency leaders," said Peter Sykes, president, Dow China. "The joint U.S.-China CERC Consortium for Building Energy Efficiency will help conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while creating new business opportunities for both countries." CERC was established last year in Beijing in a joint announcement by President Barack Obama and President Hu Jintao. A protocol launching the Center was signed by U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, Chinese Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang and Chinese National Energy Administrator Zhang Guobao. Secretary Chu announced the first two consortia last month – one led by the University of Michigan to advance technologies for clean vehicles, and another led by West Virginia University to focus on the next generation of clean coal technologies. Total funding for CERC, including private and public investments in both countries, will be at least $150 million over the 5 year program. "As a leading supplier of foam insulation wall systems and related energy-efficiency construction materials in both China and the United States, Dow Building & Construction is in a unique position to help guide the research work of the new CERC Consortium on Building Energy Efficiency," said Karen Carter, general manager, Asia Pacific and India, Dow Building & Construction.

By Tessa Raebeck
Initiatives to combat substance abuse among Sag Harbor teenagers will reach all the way down to kindergarteners next year, district officials confirmed Tuesday.
The evening's board of education meeting included an update on the district's drug and alcohol abuse prevention program by Marian Cassata, a prevention consultant and the former director of Pupil Personnel Services at Pierson Middle-High School.
Ms. Cassata, along with her husband Bob Schneider, the former principal of Pierson, is active in the Sag Harbor Coalition, a group of community members dedicated to reducing the use of alcohol and other drugs among local kids. She and Katherine Mitchell of East End Counseling LLC were hired as consultants to address drug and alcohol prevention in the district last spring.
The increased attention to drug and alcohol abuse prevention comes following data from several surveys of local youth that found the rates of alcohol and drug use among Sag Harbor students are higher than average rates in Suffolk County.
Sag Harbor's drug and alcohol abuse prevention program has traditionally started in middle school, when children are believed to be at the beginning stages of coming into contact with substances. The focus on younger grades has been on other relevant health topics, such as eating well and resisting peer pressure. But an effort to address what some say is an alarming number of Pierson High School students abusing alcohol and other drugs have caused the district to change its program.
Next year, the drug prevention program in the district will involve children as young as 5.
"Next year is the full implementation of that bottom strand of the pyramid," Ms. Cassata said Tuesday.
Following recommendations made by the consultant to the board in August, the district decided to switch from its existing drug and alcohol program to HealthSmart, "a comprehensive K-12 health education program," according to the company website.
For students in kindergarten through the fourth grade, the HealthSmart program includes four units: Personal and Family Health, Safety and Injury Prevention, Nutrition and Physical Activity, and Tobacco and Alcohol Prevention, introducing substance abuse prevention to Sag Harbor kids at a much younger age than the current program.
A source familiar with the current program who wished to remain anonymous expressed concern that students will be introduced to adult topics like drugs at an earlier age and said the district needs to educate parents prior to its implementation on what their children will be exposed to under the new program.
Ms. Cassata and Ms. Mitchell, as well as members of the Sag Harbor Coalition, believe an all-inclusive program is the most effective means of delivering a consistent and effective health curriculum that will prevent kids from abusing substances.
Ms. Casata said Tuesday staff development for the HealthSmart curriculum at the elementary school level will begin in June and the program will be "up and ready to launch fully in September."
Ms. Casata told the board in August that the materials are estimated to cost in excess of $13,000 at $400 a kit and that she had already worked to secure grant money to fund the program.
According to Business Administrator John O'Keefe, drug and alcohol prevention services for the current school year, 2013-14, were budgeted at $25,000. The district has budgeted $20,000 for next year, 2014-15, slightly less because more funds were required to get the program up and running this year, Mr. O'Keefe said. Those funds cover payments to Ms. Cassata and Ms. Mitchell, as well as payment for guest speakers and "things like that," he said.
Bond Upgrade
Also at Tuesday's board meeting, Mr. O'Keefe announced Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the Sag Harbor School District from a credit rating of A1 to Aa3, the first upgrade in the district's history.
"This significant upgrade is based upon the district's strong, successful financial management practices over the past several years, which have resulted in both improved and satisfactory reserve levels," the district said in a press release.
As a result of this upgrade, the district anticipates saving approximately $330,000 in interest for the work proposed in the recently approved $9 million capital projects bond, as well as approximately $15,000 in bond insurance premiums. The district also plans to save additional money during the annual tax anticipation note borrowing.
"Really, that's work for children, because that kind of money can be freed up for programs and for important things," school board member David Diskin said Tuesday.

Key stage 3 English focuses on four key strands. These are: Reading, Writing, Language and Speaking and Listening. Basic language skills, knowledge of language and Study Skills are taught, as well as relevant information about other subject areas.
Pupils have to study works by writers who lived before this century, as well as modern fiction and non-fiction material. In Years 7, 8 and 9 pupils follow a programme of work which is based on Language and Literature activities.
Audio-visual aids, art materials, works of fiction and non-fiction, and basic skills resources are used. There are computers in, or close to, all English teaching rooms and the networked computer systems are well used by the Faculty. Interactive Whiteboards have been introduced in all classrooms.
Many different methods are used which might involve the whole class working on the same assignment or small groups and individuals working on different tasks.
Great emphasis is placed on "drafting" written work. This involves your child in correcting and refining a piece of writing, often with the help of another pupil as well as the teacher.
All pupils are now taught to the standards set out in the Literacy Framework.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Kitzbühel, Zillertal, the Wilder-Kaiser - Brixental region: in Munich you are never far away from the most impressive mountains in Germany and the Austrian Tyrol. We've put together some information for you on this page about the best areas for hiking.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen: the 'Top of Germany'!
It's no exaggeration: the 2,962 m (9,718 ft) high Zugspitze is a mountain of superlatives. Germany's highest peak has three glaciers on its slopes, a unique 360° panorama with Alpine peaks from four countries and a range of attractive leisure activities.
A rack railway runs from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the idyllic Eibsee Lake at the foot of the mountain. The ascent in the Eibsee cable car offers spectacular views before the epic panorama at the summit of the Zugspitze opens up new horizons. You can reach the glaciers at 2,600 m on the Gletscherbahn cable car before the rack railway brings you conveniently back through the Zugspitze tunnel to your departure point. The perfect round trip!
Only ca. 120 km from Munich Airport.
Kitzbühel and its surrounding mountains
Enjoy a summer full of hikes, panoramic views and mountain adventures.
In the summer cable cars operated by Bergbahn Kitzbühel, you can ride comfortably above the delightful mountain scenery of the Kitzbühel Alps to just over 2,000 metres. Once there, a summer full of mountain adventures opens up.
Hiking is the most popular sport for Kitzbühel's summer visitors. The 'Gamsstadt' (Chamois city) is a true paradise for walkers thanks to its well-signed network of hiking trails. There are more than 1,000 km of well-maintained paths available. Discover colourful wild-flower meadows, broad Alpine pastures, the gentle slopes of the Kitzbühel Grasberge and the jagged peaks of the Wilder Kaiser massif – perhaps on one of the guided walking tours. Our Tyrolean mountain guides will share their knowledge with you and accompany you on the most beautiful hiking trips through the mountains – completely free of charge.
Only ca. 170 km from Munich Airport.
The Wilder Kaiser-Brixental region – Arrive. Experience. Enjoy.
Austria's biggest mountain adventure awaits you
One hiking experience pass grants you access to 6 mountain adventure parks, unlimited use of up to 12 cable cars, discounts from many SkiWelt bonus partners and use of the regional 'Kaiserjet', a bus for hikers and bathers.
What's more, waiting for you are over 700 km of well-maintained hiking trails, climbing routes or circular tours of the peaks for all levels of ability, unique experiences such as breakfast on the mountain, more than 50 rustic farm huts and inns, more than 400 km of mountain bike and eBike routes with a bike park and, of course, magnificent panoramic views of over 70 peaks towering up to more than 3,000 m.
As a golfer you have the opportunity to pursue your passion on one of our 27-hole, 18-hole or 9-hole courses. If you'd like a change, there are a further 16 golf courses within an hour's drive.
Whether you want an apartment, a B&B or a 5-star hotel, you are sure to find a suitable family-run, holiday home-away-from-home in the villages of Brixen im Thale, Ellmau, Going, Hopfgarten, Itter, Kelchsau, Scheffau, Söll or Westendorf.
Only ca. 140 km from Munich Airport.
Zillertal: leave your cares behind and improve your wellbeing at the same time
Lush Alpine meadows and pleasant temperatures awaken our desire to head for the mountains. Surrounded by numerous 'three-thousanders' - mountains over 3,000 m high - the Zillertal covers all the climatic zones of the Alps. Relaxation on the green valley floor and exercise in the so-called 'bracing climate' from 1,500 m are ideal for the whole body. Hiking and biking in the Zillertal Alps, however, is not just about reaching the highest peaks and achieving the greatest elevation gain, but also about the best possible stops. More than 150 mountain inns offer tasty treats made from regional products.
The imposing panoramic views, the fresh mountain air and the wide choice of activities will benefit body and soul and leave you feeling great.
Only ca. 180 km from Munich Airport.

- The Holy Cross baseball team, who currently sits in second place in the Patriot League standings after taking three of four games from Lafayette on April 18-19, will play in three non-conference match-ups before traveling to Annapolis, Md. to take on Navy in a big weekend series.
- The squad will first play against Brown for the second time this season, traveling to Providence, R.I. for a doubleheader beginning at 2:00 p.m. The Bears won earlier this season, 13-7. Wednesday's games serve as the 169th and 170th meeting between the Bears and Crusaders. Holy Cross has the upper hand in the series, posting 105 wins, 58 losses and five ties. The series began in Holy Cross baseball's inaugural season back in 1876. It was the first contest the team has played on record.
- The team will then make up the game against No. 21 Connecticut, which was originally scheduled to be played back in March. The Huskies will play on both Tuesday and Wednesday before traveling to Worcester, Mass. and are currently at 27-7 on the season. The game will begin at 5:00 p.m. at Fitton Field in Worcester, Mass. Connecticut is ranked 21st in Baseball America's Top-25 poll and No. 19 in the Collegiate Baseball News Poll. The Crusaders and Huskies have played in 58 total contests dating back to 1921 with Holy Cross only earning 19 wins all-time. Connecticut won in Storrs, Conn., 9-3 last year.
- The Crusaders will round out the week's action with a four-game set at Navy. There will be two days of doubleheaders beginning at 12:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, April 24-25. The games will be played at Terwilliger Brothers Field at Max Bishop Stadium. The series between the Crusaders and Midshipmen dates back to 1977, with this season's series serving as the 66th meeting between the two. Holy Cross has won 20 and lost 45 meetings all-time. Last year, the Crusaders took three out of four games in Worcester, Mass., outscoring the Midshipmen 42-27. Navy currently stands in fifth place in the league standings with a 4-8 record while Holy Cross now ranks second with seven wins and five losses. Junior Eric Oxford (Danvers, Mass.) and senior John Sills (Milton, Mass.) each had seven RBI in the series last year to lead the team's offense.
- Senior Ryan George (Seekonk, Mass.) broke the Holy Cross single-season record for saves after earning his sixth save of the season against Lafayette on Monday. He currently leads the team with an ERA of 0.92 and 37 strikeouts. He is just six strikeouts away from tying his career high of 43 strikeouts in a single season, which he marked in 2008. George also ranks fourth in the league in strikeouts, while he is second in appearances (14) and saves (6).
- The Crusaders are still the best offensive team in the Patriot League as they lead all six foes with a team batting average of .321. The team's pitching has also slowly climbed the ranks as they now rank fourth with a team ERA of 5.62. Holy Cross also has six out of the 20 top individual batters in the league as juniors Nick Ciardiello (Edison, N.J.) and Jack Laurendeau (Sudbury, Mass.), seniors Sills and Matt Perry (Sudbury, Mass.), sophomore Steve Tkowski (Bourne, Mass.) and freshman Stephen Wadsworth (Wayland, Mass.) are all listed. Ciardiello ranks first in the league with 17 doubles as does Sills' .481on-base percentage.

I don't mind admitting that I watched the entire season of Bravo's Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. A new addition to the reality tv crop, each episode saw contestants challenged to produce art according to prescribed criteria, with limited time and media available. The only constant, reliable material was the experience – technical and otherwise – of the artists. It behooved them to summon something personal.
What was awful (and riveting) about this process was not that it favoured works of intimacy and investment, but that these were proffered under duress: childhoods were plumbed and vulnerabilities paraded in frantic bids to supplement the resources at hand. The clamour boasted all the awkwardness of an overlooked friend showing up at your door with a Christmas gift. You panic and discreetly discreetly tear the house apart – you're the artist, and home is your psyche.
In Joshua Barndt's upcoming installation, mining a home for a gift isn't a metaphor for artistic practice; it is the practice, and presumably a metaphor for something else. When the group show Atrophic Existence opens on Saturday night, the artist will have transported all his belongings into a pile at Show and Tell gallery; his work is called The World Is a Mountain and Everything Gets Buried. He explains his intentions in a teaser video: "I've always thought that all this city needs is a mountain. So for this reason and many more too, I'm building one…of…all my personal belongings." Taken at face value, a necessity shines through here, a compulsion to offer something of one's own, more earnest than what we we started out with.
But maybe things won't be as they seem; there's still another two nights before the opening. While we wait, we can get a head start thinking through relevant conceptual issues: how the work might function as a negative sign for a compromised experience elsewhere; whether the honesty of Barndt's 'all' should figure in the success of the piece. Of the role of configuration, and how the gallery shapes things, centrifugally and centripetally. How, positioned in a show that considers the theme of urban decay, this work might tread the line between intervention and perpetuation.
And much more besides, but I'll stop. Not because continuing could steal any thunder, but because the work itself will surely derail what I thought was important. With so much focus on the materiality of things, we'd be well advised to expect the power of form and presence to change everything.
Atrophic Existence opens Saturday, Dec 11 at Show and Tell Gallery.

6 Games We Want To Hear More About At E3
With E3 just around the corner, more and more games are being scheduled to appear at the expo. We here at A-G have taken the time to come up with a list of games that we are anxious to hear more about come next week. A few of the games on our list have already been confirmed to appear, while a couple others have just been hinted at. With so many games likely to make an appearance at E3, narrowing down our selections to 6 wasn't an easy task. So once you finish reading through our picks, go ahead and leave a comment telling us what game you're excited about seeing at E3.
The Last of Us
Naughty Dog's new IP, The Last of Us, was revealed during last year's Spike VGA event. Since then, hype for the title has done nothing but go up. While the game has had a few trailers and snippets of news released over the last few months, the truth is that there hasn't been a whole lot of information released about the post-apocalyptic title. We know that Joel and Ellie are the two main characters, and that they are sticking together in order to try and survive in the beautiful yet deadly world that Naughty Dog has created. The story seems like it will be very mature and raw, genuinely reflecting what it would be like to be in a situation like that. What we have seen of the voice acting so far seems solid, which isn't a surprise given how amazing the voice work is in Naughty Dog's flagship Uncharted series.
While it's unsure what Naughty Dog has planned to show at E3 regarding the game, we can be sure that some new things about it will be revealed. I'm personally hoping for more details on the story, although not too much to where it spoils the game. More details on the infection that has seemed to plague the population would also be welcome. When it comes down to it, any new information about this fantastic looking game will make me happy, so no matter what is revealed, I should be intrigued. Unless, of course, they reveal that the game will be pushed back to next year. That would make me angry. Naughty Dog doesn't want to see me when I'm angry. *Feebly tries to rip shirt apart*-Redfield
Tomb Raider
Gaming tends to go in cycles. One franchise will rule until another usurps it. For the first time in seemingly forever, we have a franchise that returns to claim its crown from the great pretender. Tomb Raider isn't just an Uncharted-beater; it may well go on to be the pinnacle of action-adventure games this generation.
Judging by the recent pre-E3 trailer, Lara Croft will go to the depths of hell and back to get off of the island she has been stranded on. This isn't your typical Tomb Raider fantastical realm either. Going by the trailer alone, it seems as if Crystal Dynamics has taken a gritty concept, covered it with dirt and thrown it down a hill. The graphics still look stunning, even this late into the generation, and the set-pieces are fantastic with Croft avoiding a plane whilst sliding down a hill being the highlight of the aforementioned trailer. If a playable demo is available at either the Microsoft or Sony conferences (or the incredibly unlikely event of it being at Nintendo's conference- it is not scheduled to appear on the Wii U) then you'll most likely hear the sound of jaws hitting the floor and gamers ogling their screens, this time not in salivation for the First Lady of Gaming but, rather, the game itself. – Bradley
Rainbow Six: Patriots
It takes a special kind of daring to risk bringing a fresh view to a stagnating genre. The first-person shooter market has placed itself at an impasse. The industry is too easily satisfied with generic FPS games. And the problem with those generic FPS games is that they're still selling. Selling well. Why bother to break from a proven formula and endeavor to greatness when mediocrity will fulfill your intentions? Why bother to take the risk?
Well apparently the makers of the non-traditional and slightly controversial new installment in the well-aged Rainbow Six series think it's worth it to take that risk. To breathe new life into a domain that has become complacent about the quality of its productions. Patriots will guide the player along the path of Rainbow Squad as they are tasked with confronting a dangerous threat to society. Not a nation that has attempted to expand their territory. Not a people differentiated by social ideals. Not hostile aliens hell-bent on wiping out humankind. But the people who work in the office next door. People who are at once friend and foe. A brother and an enemy, fighting for a different path.
Maybe I just have a little admiration for anything that stirs up social controversy.- Eileen
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Over a decade since the series' last entry and almost two decades removed from the release of one of the greatest tactical strategy games of all time; XCOM Enemy Unknown shall invade PC and console systems again.
Throughout the years, people have clamored for a true sequel or revisit to XCOM. There have been plenty of games with similarities, plenty have tried to take on the role of the new XCOM, but very few have come close to being in the same conversation. The expectations are high and they know it. That's why Firaxis Games, headed up by MicroProse co-founder Sid Meier, is in charge of this XCOM update. They're tasked with creating a game that is supposed to look and play better, but still retain the spirit of what made it so great eighteen years ago.
With so many games pushed out of 2012, including the first-person shooter entry, XCOM is looking to be one of the few games I am eagerly anticipating seeing more of at E3. It should only be the best strategy game ever. No pressure… – Mike M.
It's late at night. You're trying to find something to watch on TV. You stumble across a crazy-looking monster and look down to see the SyFy channel logo and it all seems to make sense… Then there's those movie/TV games. You know, the ones that come after some show has hit it big and someone thinks they can cash in on the awesome.
Wait, someone is making a TV series AND a game? A futuristic alien battle over Earth with a weekly TV show tied into it? Riding around on four-wheelers, battling huge space creatures, and kicking back for a little R&R while the actors get shot at… I like this.
So the story isn't new. That's not a first. People have been reusing stories since Shakespeare. Almost no one goes out on a limb anymore. But Trion Worlds is going out on two limbs and wrapping them together in a potentially harmonious portrayal of epicosity with Defiance. Yes, most of those words may have been made up. But it's on SyFy. So it's okay. – Morgan
The Last Guardian
The Last Guardian grabbed plenty of attention when it was announced as the next great game from Fumito Ueda and his studio Team ICO, creators of the beloved PlayStation 2 games ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. Ueda's even said that "there's a bit of each of those [games] in there." Of course fans were pretty excited about that, but since then news hasn't been all that positive.
Originally planned for release in late 2011, The Last Guardian has seen multiple delays and slow progress, with seemingly little chance of a solid release date being set. And in December 2011, Fumito Ueda announced his departure with the studio, which led to the public and the press collectively throwing up their hands and assuming that this would be the killing blow on a project that had been suffering for far too long – a completely warranted response. In February 2012, however, Shuhei Yoshida, president of SCE Worldwide Studios, mentioned the enlisting of Sony Santa Monica to help out and assured everyone that the game was still making (slow) progress, with Ueda still very much involved. And now no one knows what's going on.
So, why did we choose it? Well, 2012 is an important year for The Last Guardian, because the truth is, its window is closing. Unlike the other games on this list, our interest in The Last Guardian rests not solely on that of the game, the pedigree of the studio, or the man behind it. It's just as much about the drama that has surrounded its development. Its been like six years. We want to see if they can pull this thing together, and we want to play it. We'd like E3 2012 to at least bring an official release date. – Nick

When you approached T.I., London grammar, and Fall Out Boy to do this, what was their initial response to it?
Dean used to purposefully break up a line and take its grammar apart—anything to make it less clear, Thomson says.
Her grammar is fine—Ann is a stickler for grammar—and her anecdotes make sense in that they have a beginning, a middle and an end.
early 14c., gramarye (late 12c. in surnames), from Old French gramaire "learning," especially Latin and philology, "grammar, (magic) incantation, spells, mumbo-jumbo," "irregular semi-popular adoption" [OED] of Latin grammatica, from Greek grammatike tekhne "art of letters," with a sense of both philology and literature in the broadest sense, fem. adjective from gramma "letter," from stem of graphein "to draw or write" (see -graphy). An Old English word for it was stæfcræft.
Form grammar is from late 14c. Restriction to "rules of language" is a post-classical development, but as this type of study was until 16c. limited to Latin, Middle English gramarye also came to mean "learning in general, knowledge peculiar to the learned classes" (early 14c.), which included astrology and magic; hence the secondary meaning of "occult knowledge" (late 15c.), which evolved in Scottish into glamor (q.v.).
A grammar school (late 14c.) originally was "a school in which the learned languages are grammatically taught" [Johnson, who also has grammaticaster "a mean verbal pedant"]. In U.S. (1842) the term was put to use in the graded system for "a school between primary and secondary where English grammar is taught."
The rules for standard use of words. A grammar is also a system for classifying and analyzing the elements of language.

The Secret Service recently created a "smart card" that could help identify law enforcement officers who need to fly on planes or enter federal buildings while armed.
The card was developed after a recent General Accounting Office (GAO) investigation revealed that investigators used bogus police ID and other phony documents to access secure areas of several airports, as well as to enter 19 government buildings basically unquestioned.
The GAO investigation also resulted in the Federal Aviation Administration beefing up its requirements for allowing law enforcement officials to board planes while armed.
The smart card would contain a microprocessor encoded with a digitized photo of the law enforcement agent, and personally identifying data such as height and weight. The card would then be ran through a scanner, which the Secret Service says would operate much like an ATM.
The cards would be nearly impossible to counterfeit, as the degree of encryption on their computer chip has not ever been breached. The Justice Department says that the cards are among several security measures that it is considering.

Teaching Interests
Protein-phospholipid interactions; regulation of protease cascades; blood clotting; polyphosphate
A number of important biological processes, including apoptosis, the complement system and blood coagulation, are controlled by protease cascades. A key regulatory feature of such cascades is the modulation of protease function by highly specific protein cofactors, and interestingly, these cascades often can only take place on membrane surfaces. Although much is known about the general catalytic mechanism of serine proteases, far less is known about the roles of protein cofactors and membrane surfaces in regulating protease function. In our lab we are studying serine proteases in the blood clotting cascade with a goal of understanding the contributions of protein-protein and protein-phospholipid interactions to catalysis. Very recently, we have discovered that polyphosphate (a polymer of inorganic phosphate) potently modulates blood clotting and inflammation. How it does this is not well understood.
We are currently focusing on the following research questions:
- How do the serine proteases of the blood clotting system assemble together with specific regulatory proteins on cell surfaces and other membrane surfaces?
- Why are membranes required for efficient proteolysis by these enzymes? What role do specific phospholipid types play in modulating the activity of blood clotting proteases?
- What are the mechanisms by which polyphosphate modulates blood clotting and inflammation?
- As a spinoff from these basic studies, we are working to develop:
- Improved hemostatic agents to treat surgical and traumatic bleeding
- Novel antithrombotic/anti-inflammatory agents
- Improved diagnostic tests for identifying persons at risk of thrombotic disease

Allura Leggard and Hannah Jungck, Pierson High School students who compete on the East Hampton girls track team, will have their names carved in the record books at least until next season after helping to set two new school relay records during a dual meet victory that gave the program its first winning season in 15 years.
According to head coach Yani Cuesta, the last time the program finished .500 or better was 1999. The Lady Bonackers on May 6 knocked off visiting Westhampton Beach, 79-71, to cap a 3-2-1 regular season, good for third place in League VI. The triumph over Westhampton was the third consecutive win for East Hampton, which had previously beaten Bellport and Rocky Point.
"The win against Westhampton was incredible," said Cuesta, who is a teacher at Pierson. "All the girls worked really hard to keep improving. This couldn't have been done without their hard work, and the work of our coaching staff. I am elated for the girls."
Leggard, a Pierson freshman, anchored the winning 4×100-meter relay team and along with her teammates, Gabbie McKay, Amanda Calabrese and Cecilia Blowe, set a new school record of 51.67 seconds, beating the previous mark of 51.8 seconds set in 1998.
Jungck and her 4×800-meter relay teammates, Liana Paradiso, Alyssa Bahel and Dana Cebulski, improved their own school record by a remarkable 7.3 seconds, winning with a time of 10:28.5.
Cuesta was set to enter as many athletes as possible for next week's Division Championships, which will take placer on Monday, May 21 at Connetquot High School. Entrants will need to have posted one of the top 18 times in their event to compete in the field, which will be announced today, May 15.

If you choose to have a breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery, you and your breast surgeon will discuss some of the different types of reconstructive breast surgeries we offer at the Breast Care Center. First, you must decide on when the breast reconstruction will occur. These options include:
Reconstructive breast surgeries are complex surgeries that require the expertise of breast surgeons and plastic surgeons that specialize in breast cancer surgeries. At the Breast Care Center, our plastic surgeons have performed hundreds of these procedures. They include:
The FLAP surgeries: Breast reconstructions performed using your own skin
There is a category of breast reconstructive surgeries known as autologous tissue reconstructions. These are breast reconstructions performed using your own skin. Also known as FLAP surgeries, because they use flaps of natural skin and the patient's own fat to reconstruct the most natural look and feel of the breast.
The skin flaps preserve the natural blood supply, fat, nerves and skin. Because your own natural skin is used, you should be able to have natural sensations in your breast, once the surgery has healed.
Our breast and plastic surgeons perform the following flap surgeries:

hello, everyone! i'm new to the mothering forums and excited to be here. husband and i have been ttc since june. period is due tomorrow. i took 3 tests today and they all came out very clearly positive! here's the rub, though: the tests have most likely been stored improperly. i recently moved overseas and had some bulk pregnancy tests shipped with my personal items, via sea cargo, to my new home, which happens to be in a very hot climate. in all likelihood, the tests were exposed to some pretty high temperatures. husband picked up a few new tests for me on the way home from work today, and i will take them in the morning. my question is, do i have reason to get excited and hope that my 3 positive tests are the real thing, or is there a high chance they are false positives due to their storage? i've been trying to google this question and i keep finding conflicting information. some say that it's possible to get a false positive this way, others say it's extremely rare to get a false positive at all and such storage can cause a false negative, but not a false positive. any and all advice or thoughts are very much appreciated! thank you! :)
wife to mr. m. since july 2011. pregnant with baby m., due in may 2013. furkid mom , muslim , writer , photographer , knitter, nerd.
Endlessly happy wife to Steve, Homeschooling Mama to DD Jordin - 1/20/04, DD Riley - 12/10/06, and DD Lillian our first 7/10/08, DD Zoie 6/3/11 and new bean in June 2013
Congratulations on your BFPs!
I am a biologist and now work in the diagnostics industry. Extreme temperatures and humidity are generally bad for test components, which can definitely lead to false negatives but is unlikely to lead to false positives. Also since the chances of changing the sensitivity of any one test are pretty low (sure the manufacturer recommends a certain storage condition, but they need to be close to 100% accurate under those conditions which means there is a wide margin of error where the test is likely to be 90% accurate), I see the chances of all 3 tests you took being false positives as incredibly low.
Of course the only way to know for sure is to take a fresh new test, but I expect it will confirm the ones you took.
well, ladies, you were right! got the blood test confirmation yesterday evening--baby m. is on the way! :) thank you for your support and well-wishes!

A network for historic guitars and vihuelas
The greatest private collection of antique 7-string guitars (with photos and detailed descriptions) collected by 'russian gipsy' Ivan Bariev is presented on the site as follows
(unfortunately the text on this site is in Russian only):
Russian luthiers –
Foreign luthiers (Stauffer, Scherzer, Weisberger, Bittner, Chenk etc etc) -
To his big regret Ivan himself plays a little 6-string guitar only … just like me! :-)
Views: 129
It is great to see all these guitars. The instrument that I have looks very like the Kraznoshekov (my best attempt: I only know the alphabet) from 1875.
Gypsies and gypsy culture suffers a lot of prejudice all over the place and it is heartening to see gypsy culture in a positive way. Nevertheless I'm sure that there is a perspective on 19th century Russian guitar music that is other than forceful, loud, fast.
Thanks Stuart!
In the culture of Russian Gypsies the 7-string guitar has sacral meaning, almost like icon for all Russians. That's why this collection is widely supported by the Gypsy Community of Russia where Ivan Bariev is one of the leaders.
In the video devoted to the presentation of this collection which take place in Moscow in 2007 уou cаn see some of these guitars (and hear the sound):

A good recipe. Important to note that horseradish in the jar already contains vinegar- may wish to leave out the vinegar in the recipe for this reason.

During the Summer of 2007, Professor Mike McInnis of Oregon State University's Agriculture Program at Eastern Oregon University had several of his Rangeland Ecology & Management students write informational papers on noxious weeds. A few of the articles were published in our local newspaper, The Observer. Below are the links to said articles, which contain a great deal of information and detail on weeds of particular importance in Union County.

1.) The World Heavyweight Championship was 18 seconds long
2.) The biggest match on the card, Rock vs Cena, was boring
3.) The only two matches I enjoyed were CM Punk vs Y2J and HHH vs Taker
So yeah sorry I didn't enjoy and 18 second match. Sorry I don't think that a three star match, and I'm being generous, should be the main event. Also let me again apologize for not thinking that two matches are worth 60 fucking dollars. Yeah my standards are oh so fucking high because I refuse to say that a crap card with crap matches sucked. People like you are what the problem is on this site. You enjoyed Wrestlemania 28, congratulations, but because I didn't you tried to attack me for it. Now when you respond to this one how about you try to do it without attacking me and we can have a back and forth?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus On Acting, Parenting, and Going Green
Julia Louis-Dreyfus on parenting
Louis-Dreyfus displays a hint of dread when she mentions empty-nest syndrome. "Henry is already 16, so it's coming. The child of a good friend of mine just went off to college, and it's been an extraordinary adjustment for her, as big as bringing a newborn home. … It's so thrilling to see your kids evolve into thoughtful, active, independent people … but what do you do without them?"
Nancy L. Brown, PhD, M.A., Ed.S, a Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute child development expert, says Louis-Dreyfus will almost certainly not go through earlier generations' empty nest experience, defined by "questions of who am I ... and what do I matter if I don't have others' needs to fulfill?"
The reason? "Today's generation of kids -- the [high school] juniors and seniors and those just going off to college now -- have been raised so differently from previous generations, who basically left home at 18 and never looked back. They've had their lives scheduled from the start, from playdates to activities to classes. And while they are amazing kids -- well-educated, fun, articulate, smart -- they are not nearly as independent as we were when we were their age. They are not accustomed to managing every aspect of their lives, and they want and need their parents to remain on call, often for years."
The result is that most parents no longer feel that abrupt departure and loss of involvement. "We're seeing this phase, which has been coined 'adult-escence' or extended adolescence, last between the ages of 18 to 25," Brown says. "Tell Julia she just might one day say to her 25-year-old son: 'Please, go! It's time for you to move out!'"
Julia Louis-Dreyfus on The New Adventures of Old Christine
Louis-Dreyfus knows that, when it comes to kids and television shows, neither stays around forever. When Seinfeld ended after nine seasons, she faced the plight of reinventing herself -- and shaking off the successful-sitcom "curse," the notion that audiences would never accept her in any role but that of Elaine. After joking about the curse on her pal Larry David's show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and then seeing Watching Ellie fizzle after one season, Louis-Dreyfus knew where she needed to go next. "I figured it was time for me to play a mom. It was territory I knew and had yet to mine."
The pilot for Christine fell into her lap in 2005. It was perfect for her, she thought, and critics and award-givers have applauded her insight. She won the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series in 2006, 10 years after winning it for her work on Seinfeld. She plays a divorced mother who is relearning how to date, how to be a single parent, and how to deal with an ex-husband who is very much still in her life. It goes without saying she plays it for laughs.
