Police arrested five men this week as part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged drug trafficking organization based out of auto repair businesses in Hazel Dell.
Daladier Torres Ambriz, 33, is suspected of bringing large amounts of methamphetamine from Mexico to Clark County, where it was distributed by people through the shops, police said.
"Although these businesses appeared to be legitimate, they were, in fact, simply fronts for a large drug trafficking organization," said Cmdr. Mike Cooke, who heads the Clark-Vancouver Regional Drug Task Force. "Although they may have repaired a few cars here and there, the main business was trafficking methamphetamine."
The first search warrants were served at 6 a.m. Thursday at the homes of several suspects. At 10808 N.E. 96th St. in the Orchards area, police arrested Ambriz and Felix Eduardo Ambriz Rodriguez, 26. Detectives also seized several pieces of evidence, including $30,000, documents referring to cash transfers to Mexico as well as four cars that were allegedly used to deliver controlled substances.
At 3414 P. St. in Vancouver's Rose Village neighborhood, Jose B. Toscano, 20, and Jose Gabriel Aguilar, 21, were taken into custody on Thursday. Cellphones, additional documents referring to cash transfers to Mexico, a handgun and a car allegedly used to deliver drugs were seized during the raid.
Also Thursday, Beningo Blasquez Moreno, 18, was taken into custody at 3400 N.E. 66th Court in Vancouver's Bagley Downs neighborhood. Police seized about 21/2 pounds of methamphetamine, notes documenting drug transactions, a drug scale, cellphones, and a laptop computer. Detectives suspect this apartment was being used to convert methamphetamine from a liquid form to a crystal form.
Search warrants also were served at the businesses in Hazel Dell on Thursday. Units B, C and D were searched at 1103 N.E. 95th St. and unit D1 at 1017 N.E. 95th St., all small warehouses in a commercial district where police believe meth was held for daily deliveries throughout Clark County. The Drug Task Force arranged to buy meth and watched as the order was driven from the shop to the drug buy location. After the buy, whoever was delivering the drugs would drive back to the shop location.
Evidence seized at the commercial locations included six handguns, one of which was reportedly stolen in a burglary, two ounces of methamphetamine, a drug scale and drug packaging materials.
All five suspects were booked at the Clark County Jail on suspicion of delivering a controlled substance and possessing controlled substances with intent to deliver. Ambriz was additionally charged with leading organized crime.
The Clark County Sheriff's Office Tactical Detective Unit and the Vancouver Police Department's Neighborhood Response Team helped serve the search warrants.

Wangechi Mutu EXHIBITED AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY
Wangechi Mutu
Adult Female Sexual Organs
packing tape, fur, collage on found medical illustration paper
46 x 31cm
Wangechi Mutu observes: ŌĆ£Females carry the marks, language and nuances of their culture more than the male. Anything that is desired or despised is always placed on the female body.ŌĆØ Piecing together magazine imagery with painted surfaces and found materials, MutuŌĆÖs collages explore the split nature of cultural identity, referencing colonial history, fashion and contemporary African politics. In Adult Female Sexual Organs, Mutu uses a Victorian medical diagram as a base: an archetype of biased anthropology and sexual repression. The head is a caricatured mask ŌĆō made of packing tape, its material makes reference to bandages, migration, and cheap ŌĆśquick-fixŌĆÖ solutions. Mutu portrays the inner and outer ideals of self with physical attributes clipped from lifestyle magazines: the womanŌĆÖs face being a racial distortion, her mind occupied by a prototypical white model. Drawing from the aesthetics of traditional African crafts, Mutu engages in her own form of story telling; her works document the contemporary myth-making of endangered cultural heritage.
Quote from: Merrily Kerr, Wangechi Mutu's Extreme Makeovers, Art On Paper, Vol.8, No. 6, July/August 2004. posted on:

Wangechi Mutu
Cancer of the Uterus
Glitter, fur, collage on found medical illustration paper
46 x 31cm
Wangechi MutuŌĆÖs collages seem both ancient and futuristic; her figures aspire as a super-race, by-products of a troubled and imposed evolution. In Cancer of the Uterus, her figure is an ominous goddess; pasted over a pathology diagram, her portrait is diseased at the core. Mutu uses materials which make reference to African identity and political strife: her dazzling black glitter is an abyss of western desire, which allude to the illegal diamond trade and its consequences of oppression and war. From corruption and violence, Mutu creates a glamorous beauty; her figures empowered by their survivalist adjustment to atrocity, made immune and ŌĆśimprovedŌĆÖ by horror and being victims.
Wangechi Mutu
Complete Prolapsus of the Uterus
Glitter, ink, collage on found medical illustration paper
46 x 31cm
Wangechi Mutu trained as both a sculptor and anthropologist. Complete Prolapsus of the Uterus illustrates the marriage of these interests. Through collage, Mutu capitalised on the two-sided nature of her materials, conveying both the content and physicality of their sources. In using old medical diagrams, her collages carry the authenticity of artefact, as well as an appointed cultural value. In Complete Prolapsus of the Uterus Mutu contrives a racial hybrid: a puckered, prudish white face masks an ancient tribal wisdom. Mutu examines how ideology is implicitly tied to corporeal form. She cites a European preference of physique, inflicted on and adapted by Africans, resulting in hierarchical difference and genocide.
Wangechi Mutu
Ectopic Pregnancy
Glitter, ink, collage on found medical illustration paper
46 x 31cm
Wangechi MutuŌĆÖs collage process mimics amputation, transplant operations and torturous prosthetics. Her figures become parody mutilations, their forms grotesquely marred through perverse modification, echoing the atrocities of war or self-inflicted improvements of plastic surgery. In Ectopic Pregnancy, Mutu converts an image of reproductive malfunction into a stillborn expression; the mouth/vagina bloodied and empty, her scarred figure struggling to voice her identity. Mutu designs this portrait with sex-organs as face, dressed up with glistening hair and lip-gloss: a freakish pastiche of feminine ideals.
Wangechi Mutu
Uterine Catarrh
Glitter, ink, collage on found medical illustration paper
46 x 31cm
ŌĆ£There's this constant movement towards historicising Africa, turning it into this archaic place.ŌĆØ Wangechi Mutu explains, ŌĆ£ŌĆ" Part of my challengeŌĆ"is to envision, not so much blackness as a race, but the existence of African elements in culture in the future and how is that possible.ŌĆØ The figure in MutuŌĆÖs Uterine Catarrh is both shaman and cyborg. Composed on antique paper, her figure shifts between totem and technological invention, the yellowed ground giving an aura of historical reverence to the modern gleen of shiny magazine cartridge. Mutu wittily positions the figure over her found medical illustration, rendering it with a ŌĆśthird eyeŌĆÖ; a speculum portal of wisdom and vision.
Wangechi Mutu
Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumours
Glitter, ink, collage on found medical illustration paper
46 x 31cm
In Histology of Different Classes of Uterine Tumors, Wangechi Mutu readily confuses epidemiology with anthropological classification. Mutu satirically identifies her ŌĆśdiseaseŌĆÖ as a sub/post-human monster, an equally primitive and prophetically alien species. Repulsive and ludicrous, MutuŌĆÖs figure is also controversially attractive: its fur face and stardust afro an epitome of funkadelic chic. HistologyŌĆ" embodies a notion of identity crisis, where origination and ownership of cultural signifiers becomes an unsettling and disputed terrain.
Wangechi Mutu
Tumours of the Uterus
collage on found medical illustration paper
45.7 x 32.4cm
In her series Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumour, Wangechi Mutu uses 19th century medical diagrams as a basis for invented portraiture. The original illustrations, symbolic of colonial power, suggest a wide range of cultural pre-conceptions: from the ŌĆśsuperiorityŌĆÖ of European ŌĆśknowledgeŌĆÖ to the classification of nature (and consequently race) into genealogical hierarchies. In Uterine Tumor, Mutu challenges these imposed values, using physical disease as a metaphor for social corruption.
Wangechi Mutu
Indurated Ulcers of the Cervix
collage on found medical illustration paper
45.7 x 32.4cm
Pasting images taken from porn and fashion magazines over a prudish diagram of vaginal infections, Wangechi Mutu examines the perception of female sexuality. Her amalgamated portrait capitalises on the contradictions of role expectations: as western media ideal, sex goddess, and mother. Contorted in anger and crowned by black diamond dust, MutuŌĆÖs figure becomes both victim and warrior, alluding to the repercussions of female exploitation in both Africa and the west: from prostitution to sexual war crimes.
Wangechi Mutu
Fibroid Tumors of the Uterus
collage on found medical illustration paper
45.7 x 32.4cm
Encapsulating the shifting identity of African culture, Wangechi Mutu draws upon existing stereotypes to construct a ŌĆśnew and improvedŌĆÖ race reflective of traditional values, survival of historical oppression, and thriving participation in global trend. Her Uterine Tumour portrays a figure derived of cross-cultural sources: sensuous too-big lips, suntanned gam, funky glitter, and too-cool shades pasted over a found medical diagram creates a strong and tres chic character, master of his own endemiology.
Wangechi Mutu
Cervical Hypertrophy
collage on found medical illustration paper
45.7 x 32.4cm
Wangechi MutuŌĆÖs collages confront with brutal aggression; her pastiched characters become perverse amalgamations of physical and cultural ŌĆśidealsŌĆÖ. In Uterine Tumour, MutuŌĆÖs male figure is assembled of mismatched body parts clipped from magazines, each an isolated feature of epitomised beauty: chiselled cheekbones, kiss-me lips, petite ears, and smouldering eyes. Together, they become a grotesque mask of racial parody. Centred over a medical illustration, her composite of physical ŌĆśperfectionŌĆÖ becomes a model of contamination.
Wangechi Mutu
Primary Syphilitic Ulcers of the Cervix
collage on found medical illustration paper
45.7 x 32.4cm
Wangechi Mutu harnesses the fear of the unfamiliar as a tool of power. Formed from cut and paste, MutuŌĆÖs creations are hybrids of multiple sources referencing the scars of cultural imposition. Placed atop medical diagrams, they feed off their cancerous classifications, directly confronting cultural preconception and bias. Set around image of an invasive gynaecological procedure, the woman in Primary Syphilitic Ulcers of the Cervix garners her strength from the source of her molestation. Disaffected and immune, MutuŌĆÖs distressing figure is comprised of the horrific myths of our own making.
Wangechi Mutu
Ovarian Cysts
collage on found medical illustration paper
45.7 x 32.4cm
Wangechi Mutu uses collage as a metaphor for the shifting concepts of global identity. In Ovarian Cysts Mutu unites a medical diagram, an archaeological photograph, and kitsch advertisement within a glittery death-head; each element conveying disjointed and dislocated associations of Africa. Drawing from colonialism, ancient history, contemporary politics, and lifestyle ideals, Mutu creates an emblem of tribute, encompassing both a tormented past and powerful future.
Wangechi Mutu
mixed media collage
Wangechi MutuŌĆÖs Mask draws provocative comparison between archaeology and sexual fetishism. Pasted over the photo of a museum relic, her saucy model becomes a temptress of caricatured exotica. Encasing the womanŌĆÖs body and face in a cut out of a voodoo sculpture, Mutu envelops her cover girl as a product of typecast desire and roleplay: warrior-princess, s&m freak, chastity-belted virgin. Overlapping the controversial facets of cultural association, MutuŌĆÖs figure beacons as a subversive dominatrix, shrewdly co-opting the rules of hierarchy, power, and manipulation.
Wangechi Mutu
Backlash Blues
ink, acrylic, photocollage, contact paper, on mylar
198 x 119.4 cm
Painted on mylar, Wangechi MutuŌĆÖs Backlash Blues conveys an otherworldly quality: the paint and ink suspends on the plasticy vellum-like surface with an unnatural luminosity. Using a variety of techniques from airbrush to stencilling, controlled spills, and detailed brushwork, MutuŌĆÖs image poses as a composite of gesture; collaged photographic elements merge seamlessly into the painterly aesthetic. Incorporating both the organic patterns of dyed fabric and the exaggerated flourish of fashion illustration, MutuŌĆÖs wild figure exudes an apocalyptic glamour, fusing tribal ŌĆśprimitivismŌĆÖ with the exotica of radical chic.
Wangechi Mutu
My Strength Lies
ink, acrylic, photo collage, contact paper, on Mylar
228.6 x 137.2 cm
Wangechi Mutu
Ghouls On My Back Celebrate Murder
mixed media on mylar
90 x 61 cm
Wangechi Mutu uses collage as a means of both physically and conceptually bringing layered depth to her work. Using images cut from fashion magazines, National Geographic, and books about African art, Mutu pieces together figures which are both elegant and perverse. Individual body parts comprised of found ŌĆÖobjectsŌĆÖ are made to seem like odd prosthetics glued over torsos and limbs drawn in ink.
In Untitled, MutuŌĆÖs surface uses these conflicting textures to draw a wide range of connotations: from glamour models, to dyed fabrics, diseased skin, and science fiction special effects. Her goddess-like figure becomes an embodiment of the disjointed facets of modern Africa, caught in the flux of Western preconception, internal turmoil, ancient tradition, and blossoming future.
Wangechi Mutu
Mixed media collage and painting on vellum
44.5 x 47cm
In Untitled, Wangechi Mutu creates a glamorous, yet barbaric centrefold. Working in painting and collage on paper, Mutu exploits the physical qualities of her media to create a self-referential sensuality: the translucent crispness of the vellum relates easily to film, spilled paint stains diffuse as the subtle bruised texture of skin, and cut out blond hair and gams lend an appropriated lusty ideal. In picturing female sexuality, Mutu offers a futuristic totality of womanhood thatŌĆÖs both fiery and liberated. Comprised of motorcycle parts, sheŌĆÖs a machine built for speed: corpulent, sexy, with the dazzling power creation.

Question Question» Hatred » Hello Deekshaey, this is my first question to you. How do you get over hat... Hello Deekshaey, this is my first question to you. How do you get over hat...
Hello Deekshaey, this is my first question to you. How do you get over hatred? How do you bridge gaps in a family that has been torn through hatred over the generations. How can you say sorry to someone who has died. How do you tell someone you loved them very much, now they are no more. I have a family which has been torn apart by fued, and I am the 5th generation facing the consequences. I want this to stop, and I want my children to be the future of peace. I worry that these feelings of hatred are so deep rooted within that I will not be able to change. I worry I will pass on this poisonous heritage to my little ones. Can you tell me how to deal with feelings of self loathing and self hatred? Thank you very much. Yours, Chidiya.
Dear Chidiya, A big hug to you.First thing I want you to know that your asking this question, reaffirms the fact that you have so much love rooted deep inside you. You are just not able to elevate it to the surface for you are dwelling in past.You may have various reasons,family or otherwise that bother you and lead you to a detrimental emotion of hate for self. First thing you need to do is forgive yourself for not being able to do something that YOU COULD HAVE in the past. Make a promise to self that you are going to compensate for it through an alternative action that could bring peace to you. Any smallest step,initiative,effort towards undoing the damage will bring the intensity of self hatred down by a degree. That action could be , picking up the phone and calling that family person with whom you always wanted to talk and bridge the gap but could not muster that courage. One deliberate push accompanied with a strong will is enough to take that first tiny step. And believe you me, human heart is still counted as the grandest example of acceptance in the history of mankind.FAMILY when we call it, can never ignore a call for love.If you really MEAN to say sorry to someone who is not physically present anymore, say it to God ( spiritual power/almighty) through your own self. Ask for pardon and tell God that you are ready to pull things together to make up for what went wrong. To ward off the feelings of self loathing, ward of anything and everything that displays the slightest hint of negativity. Bring out your talent , whatever it may be, create and appreciate yourself for your creations.Applaud your effort every day. Share it with friends to let them appreciate you too , that will re-instil your faith in self. But make sure , it should not carry any destructive emotions. Wear bright colors to feel happy and light. Groom yourself to, spend time for relaxation and recreation. Watch positive cinema and read positive literature. Initially , it may be a bit hard on you, but make sure you discipline yourself in such a fashion that gradually you succeed to make it a habit. Your children will be what you make them. But before that you will have to make yourself , TRANSFORM YOURSELF INTO A NEW YOU. Bubbling with spirit and dazzling with love and positiveness. And you are not too far from that. Give yourself one hard push NOW..!!!
Chidiya : Thanks for your answer, its very positive, and something to think about.
Chidiya : I would like the team at WASH YOUR SIN to please remove my query, and the responses - I believe my confidentiality has been breached and I do not want my words to remain here. Thank you.

Fred Aftalion
The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) and the Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie (FMC) will present the Franklin-Lavoisier Prize to Fred Aftalion on April 3, 2014, at the CHF headquarters in Philadelphia.
A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris, Aftalion devoted his life's work to chemistry. He studied under Herman Mark in Brooklyn Polytechnic's Polymer Institute in 1946. His first job in the chemical industry was as an engineer with Hercules, with which he spent five years in the United States and Latin America. Returning to France in 1951, he joined Naphtachimie, where he set up the marketing networks of what was then a new petrochemicals company.
Called in by Laboratoire Roger Bellon in 1956 to take over the management of the Société Française d'Organo-Synthèse (SFOS), he turned it over the course of the next three decades into an efficient specialty chemicals enterprise. Aftalion also served as president of Société la Vermiculite et la Perlite, now an affiliate of Elf Aquitaine, and he became a board member of Rhône Poulenc Specialités Chimiques when SFOS was acquired by that company. He is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Total Chimie and of the Maison de la Chimie.
As an author, Fred Aftalion has recorded and enhanced our understanding of our chemical heritage, as well as made known the important impact of the chemical sciences and technologies among the broader public. His book, A History of the International Chemical Industry, is a seminal work of history and a unique publication, chronicling the rise of the chemical industry around the globe and the important human benefits that it has brought. The only book of its kind, A History of the International Chemical Industry has also advanced the sense of community among the various participants in the chemical endeavor.

Created in 2008, the Franklin-Lavoisier Prize is jointly awarded by the Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie (FMC) in Paris and the Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF). Named for Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and Benjamin Franklin, two of the 18th century's greatest minds, this prize recognizes unusually meritorious efforts in the preservation or promotion of the entwined scientific heritage of France and the United States.
The purpose of the award is to acknowledge commendable work in the preservation and highlighting of any aspect of our common scientific or industrial heritage in the fields of chemistry and its related applications, the promotion of the history of the chemical and molecular sciences and industries, or the fostering of closer Franco-American ties and the promotion of significant activities in the chemical sciences or industries.
FMC and CHF also seek to promote public understanding of Franco-American relations in modern and historical science, industry, and economics.
Accompanied by a monetary award of €15,000, the Franklin-Lavoisier Prize is awarded every two years by a five-member international jury. Award ceremonies will take place alternately in the United States and France.
La Maison de la Chimie was founded in 1928, in Paris, with the goal of building and maintaining a central meeting and working space to promote the popularization of science and was organized for the service of chemists worldwide. To fulfill this mission, la Maison de la Chimie provides a number of services and activities to facilitate cooperation between all those working to promote chemistry as one of the basic disciplines of science and technology.
The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) is a collections-based nonprofit organization that preserves the history and heritage of chemistry, chemical engineering, and related sciences and technologies. The collections are used to create a body of original scholarship that illuminates chemistry's role in shaping society. In bridging science with the humanities, arts, and social sciences, CHF is committed to building a vibrant, international community of scholars; creating a rich source of traditional and emerging media; expanding the reach of our museum; and engaging the broader society through inventive public events.

El Paso is "no longer the poor man of Texas," Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas, 16th District) told visiting journalists May 28.
Rep. O'Rourke credited El Paso's thriving revitalization to elected officials' "concerted effort to work together...we realized that it's the only way we're going to get things done."
(May the gridlocked U.S. Congress heed the wise words of this first-term Representative. The Democrat has introduced bipartisan legislation, co-sponsored with New Mexican Republican Steve Pearce, on crucial issues of immigration and U.S.-Mexico border enforcement.)
Meanwhile, back in El Paso, native son O'Rourke said that in all his 41 years, "This's the first time that all local entities -- the Mayor, the State Congress, City Council...are on the same page."
Such working together has resulted in "the community's investing in itself to create a great quality of life". El Paso has passed major bond issues totaling more than half a billion dollars. The most recent is a 2012 Quality of Life bond issue of $470 million. Even in Texas, that's big money.
Self-investment is self-evident everywhere in this vibrant city: the brand new Southwest University Park for El Paso Chihuahuas Triple-A minor league team, a field of dreams built in only 370 days; a planned Multipurpose Cultural and Performing Arts Facility; Hispanic Cultural Center; Children's Museum; upgrades at the El Paso Zoo and at libraries; restorations of the historic San Jacinto Plaza...
El Paso was even selected by the Rockefeller Foundation as one of 100 Resilient Cities around the world. Click here for its milestones.
Rep. O'Rourke terms El Paso "the world's largest binational, bicultural, bilingual city." El Paso's metro area population is about 800,000, and the border city of Juarez, Mexico has about 1.5 million people.
As we walked together to the newly opened Southwest University (Ball) Park, he pointed and said, "See all those houses, mountains -- that's Mexico. El Paso is where two worlds meet."
Rep. O'Rourke mentioned "When you're lost in the rain in Juarez", the opening line of Bob Dylan's "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues".
Not just like, but not unlike Dylan, O'Rourke played bass with the indie rock band Foss. And unlike Foss players like drummer Cedric Bixler-Zavala, who joined The Mars Volta Grammy®-winning band (for Best Hard Rock Performance), O'Rourke chose entrepreneurship, and then politics.
He co-founded an internet company, Stanton Street Technology, and later served two terms on El Paso's City Council before being elected to Congress in 2012.
"Like most El Pasoans back when I graduated high school, I thought, 'I'm outta here; can't get far enough away,'" he said. "But like many Generation Xers, Millennials, and others, I moved back."
He'd fled from El Paso to New York City, where he graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in English literature.
And he sure knows about writers associated with El Paso.
- Cormac McCarthy ("All the Pretty Horses", "No Country for Old Men"), "wrote some of his best works here," O'Rourke noted.
McCarthy wrote "Suttree" and "Blood Meridian" in El Paso, where he lived for almost two decades. The MacArthur "genius grant recipient" also got the idea for his Pulitzer-winning novel "The Road" in El Paso. While his young son John Francis slept, the author gazed out a window and wondered what El Paso might look like in 50 or 100 years.
McCarthy once termed El Paso "one of the last real cities left in America".
Rep. O'Rourke believes that McCarthy's comment remains true today. "El Paso is authentic, raw. And it's not pretending to be anything else but what it is."
- Raymond Carver ("What We Talk About When We Talk of Love", "Where I'm Calling From"), got his first teaching job at University of Texas at El Paso. He was dubbed "the American Chekov". Stephen King termed Carver "surely the most influential writer of American short stories in the second half of the 20th century".
- Author and doctor Abraham Verghese wrote two autobiographical books, "My Own Country" and "The Tennis Partner: A Story of Friendship and Loss", while in El Paso as chief of Texas Tech Medical School's Division of Infectious Diseases.
Dr. Verghese, recipient of the 2014 Heinz Foundation's Arts and Humanities Award, has said, "El Paso remains the landscape of many of my dreams. I suspect it always will."
El Paso remains the landscape of many of Rep. Robert Francis (Beto) O'Rourke's own dreams. He looks like a dreamy version of another Robert Francis, (Bobby) Kennedy.
As Congressman O'Rourke and I reached our destination, "Born to Run" was playing. That could be the El Paso Representative's theme song.
For more info: Rep. Beto O'Rourke, www.orourke.house.gov, 1721 Longworth House Office Building, Washington, D.C., 202-225-4831. El Paso District Office, 303 N. Oregon Street, Suite 210, El Paso, Texas, 915-541-1400. Destination El Paso, www.destinationelpaso.com, One Civic Center Plaza, El Paso, Texas, 915-534-0600 or 800-351-6024.

As an Internet Deals reporter here on Examiner, this writer is used to uncovering plenty of tech gadgets on sale or coupon codes for HDTV systems or Blu Ray players and the like to pass on the savings tips to readers. Sometimes, however, I've learned that a good part of the best deals on technologically based items can be found directly in the iTunes App Store, Amazon's App Store and the Google Play Store. I'm talking about free apps, and the latest one that's gotten action on my mobile devices is called CalQ, a mathematics game that I realized could genuinely help parents teach their children how to improve their arithmetic skills at no cost. (Find the iOS version on iTunes and the Android version on Google Play.)
After getting the gist of the gameplay, which is described pretty succinctly in the opening few informational screens after downloading the app, the user can keep trying to best their own scores by rapidly figuring out the correct combination of positive and negative numbers to add, subtract or multiply together to come up with the target number that represents the proper product or sum. With each correct answer, blocks of numbers fall away and make room for new ones, as the player's score increases accordingly.
I've played the popular app myself several times, which is quite a feat for this non-gamer. Later, I gave my 11-year-old daughter a quick lesson and helped her play it for the first time. Although she pronounced it difficult at first glance – after all, she's a visually illustrative artist who is more used to Temple Run 2 and Bouncing Slime apps, but still has an aptitude for math – I plan to continue to expose her to the app, because it's a whole lot cheaper to utilize free learning games like CalQ to teach kids math than to pay for a summer stint of lessons at places like Sylvan Learning Center, in hopes of helping them retain the lessons they've learned throughout the semesters of school.
My 13-year-old son, surprisingly, enjoyed playing CalQ quite a bit after his first try at the game. He called it a challenging game that can help his brain, perhaps due to the fact that the player must exercise fast calculation techniques because you're racing against a clock. And it's great because the user isn't relying on an Excel spreadsheet, Google's great search box or a mobile device's calculator to figure out the correct way to solve each rapid round. Instead, they are depending on their own minds to come up with a solution. Talk about synapses snapping!
Any gaming app that is fun and educational enough to get the kids away from Grand Theft Auto V, Naruto or Call of Duty – even if it's only for an hour at a stretch – is definitely worth the space on your smartphone, tablet or computer. And if it helps them become all the more prepared for the coming school years, that's more than worth the price of adm

College Hockey:Some surprises among ECAC Hockey's top scoring teams
Welcome to the blackout edition of This Week in ECAC Hockey. Not because of Rensselaer's Black Friday — that was a few weeks back. Nor is it because of last week's capitalist post-Thanksgiving orgy.
Instead, it's because my block was left as powerless as a Dartmouth advantage for a solid 13 hours Monday night and Tuesday morning … right in my compositional sweet spot. So here comes some improvisational journalism!
Didn't see that coming
One month ago, who would've predicted Cornell, Colgate and Harvard to lead the ECAC in offense? The Big Red lost a lot of scoring strength to graduation, the Raiders were coming off a historically bad year and Crimson sticks have been seemingly snake-bit for the last half-decade.
So where did all these goals come from?
Cornell, with 25 goals in six league games (4.17 goals per game), has benefited immensely from the puck-potting prowess of one Brian Ferlin. The big, 6-foot-2, 200-pound freshman hasn't exactly come out of nowhere — the Boston Bruins thought highly enough of him to draft him in the fourth round last year — but then in another sense, he really did come out of nowhere: Jacksonville, Fla., isn't exactly a fertile breeding ground for icers.
Ferlin has made a seismic splash with five goals and five assists in his first six league games (11 points in nine games overall), leading the conference in league scoring and points per game (1.67). Junior defenseman Nick D'Agostino actually leads the Red in overall scoring (6-6–12), and five other players have already notched multiple goals through nine games of overall action.
Travel partner Colgate is flying high on the wings of another player from a non-traditional hockey market: senior Austin Smith of the Lone Star State is hotter than August in Odessa, filling the net with 15 goals in 14 overall games. His 21 points and 1.50 points per game are the best overall figures in the league to date, and he's not slacking against conference foes either with eight strikes in six outings.
Unlike Ferlin at Cornell, however, Smith is practically carrying the Raiders' offensive load so far. He has accounted for a solid third of Colgate's overall goals, and nearly half (eight of 18) of the league scores.
Down Boston way, the Crimson have enjoyed a consistent attack borne of a deeper lineup than many — myself included — originally gave them credit for. Senior Alex Killorn leads the way, of course, with five goals and 10 points in eight games overall and 3-4–7 in seven games of ECAC action. Killorn is supported by seven other multiple-goal scorers (overall), and 18 different Crimson players have earned a point in league play alone. Of additional note, Harvard leads the league in goals in any period with a dozen in seven second periods.
Fatigue? What fatigue?
Yale leads the league in team defense — surrendering six goals in four games (1.50 goals against per game) — but the way Union buckles down as games wear on has been truly impressive.
The Dutchmen, who are right behind Yale with 1.60 goals allowed per league game, have given up eight goals in five games. All well and good, right? Well how about this: Of those eight goals, six were endured in the first period. In five second periods played against ECAC competition, Union has allowed one goal. Ditto the third. How long until new strength and conditioning coach Dan Gabelman — a protégé of Mike Boyle and former practice-team goalie at Boston University — is getting bigger and better offers, I wonder?
Tigers tame, but tired
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Princeton is still trying to earn its stripes. The Tigers have taken a league-low 7.4 penalty minutes per game — always a good sign — but have still surrendered a league-high 24 goals in seven games (3.43 goals against average).
Combined with a mediocre 2.14 goals per game on the attack and 11 third-period goals against, you've got the makings of a 2-5-0 start.
Goalies Sean Bonar and Mike Condon have been subpar, seeing roughly 29 shots per league game but each saving fewer than 90 percent of those bids.
Withering Green?
Dartmouth looked good. The squad is staffed with proven veterans, anchored by a well-respected goalie and guided by one of the true icons of the national coaching fraternity. They started the season 3-1-0, dropping a nail-biting 2-1 decision to Yale but beating Brown, Quinnipiac and Princeton.
But then what? A 1-4-1 skid? How did this happen?
For starters, 11 goals in those six games aren't good enough when simultaneously allowing 20. That's called a negative differential. Going 2-for-16 on the power play isn't so hot, either, but somehow that's an improvement: Dartmouth was 0-for-15 with the advantage in its opening four games.
Senior James Mello's save percentage is mired at .892, and his team is allowing more shots than it's taking at this point. Dartmouth has to hope that its last game of the semester — on Dec. 11 against Sacred Heart — will allow the goal spigot to open once more. Otherwise, the 2012-opening five-game road swing might put the Green very much in the red.

I see women all the time in awe of other people's relationships. Honestly, it is not that difficult to find a wonderful man. However, it does require three important things. One of the three things is the ability to know what to reject. The second criteria is the ability to know what to accept. The third thing is your ability to deliver.
Women get wounded only when they deviate from their initial criteria of terms that they have identified for their ideal candidate. I have been guilty. It's true that women often say no car, no job, no house equals no me. However, somewhere in the female construct emotionalism can make one say that one toxic statement. This statement is I see his potential.
The word "potential" is a very unstable word. Potential always means that someone is currently not in a mindset and/or space that maximizes their abilities. Whenever a woman says that her lover has potential she is essentially putting herself in the position to be a life coach. Being a life coach is one of those iffy situations. Your efforts may be successful. Once you help him turn his life around he may be forever grateful. However, too often women who are in the life coach capacity get dumped when the male is in a better financial and mental capacity.
The most important criteria in finding a good man is knowing what to accept. You can't accept your Boaz if you are still dealing with someone who you have given a billion chances. Knowing what to accept often means waiting. Waiting means that you will encounter several counterfeits. Additionally, knowing what to accept often means letting your existing situation go. If you do not bend, your mental clarity and energy will be right when your ideal candidate comes along.
This goes directly into delivery. You will not be able to deliver if you are bogged down by the heartbreaks of yesterday. This is why the wait process is essential. Yes, a man can assess excess baggage. A man who is into you only wants to know about you. This process entails having good energy that is light and not heavy. You can't have a fun and light energy if you have not healed from past situations.
All of the women who I know in wonderful marriages had one important characteristic. This characteristic is that they were a stickler for the type of man that they allowed in their life. None of these women had a build your own bear workshop mentality. By this I mean they were not in the business of propping a man up. From day one they assessed their characteristics. All of their husbands are intelligent, receptive, hard working men. These men know how to be men and in turn complement their lives.
This article does not come as a message to beat you up. Even the women in successful marriages endured bad relationships at one point. However, the point is that they reached a breaking point of no more. Once they got to this point they stuck to their criteria. This in turn ensured a happier and more vital life.

Martin Zwilling made a phenomenal statement at the close of 2013. He said, "I believe the days of the 'job work' mentality are thankfully waning, with more people looking to get satisfaction by making the world a better place, rather than just brain-numbing work to fund enjoyment elsewhere."
I too, have seen a large influx of entrepreneurs since the economic recession of 2007. Rather than discussing the reasons for such, I'd like to explore, what I call, the perfect business to start in 2014. What is this business I speak of?
Drop shipping/e-commerce
Wikipedia defines drop shipping as, "Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer."
What I'd like to do now is share the main reasons for this being the perfect business model.
Reason #1 – Inventory
The Wikipedia quote above mentioned that this model doesn't require an inventory. I know firsthand the challenges with inventory based business models.
Reason #2 – Low Barrier To Entry
Barrier to entry is an economics term for how much it costs to get into a business. It's low because there aren't very many costs to get started. Some costs you might expect include:
- Domain name
- An SSL
- A platform to build the website with, like SimpleWebStores.com or BigCommerce.com
- A business license and a state sales tax ID #
- Marketing costs
- Web design work (unless you have a good eye for design)
- Drop shipping fees
- Payment processing fees
Once you've got these things in place, you're off to the races. I'd now like to showcase some entrepreneurs who have experienced success with it.
#1 - Magda Mallory
Magda used to be a reseller for a big health supplement company. When that program was ended, she decided to go into business for herself. She started http://trustsupplements.com/ which offers a wide range of natural health supplements. Some of these include: vitamins, green tea products, sports supplements, and fat burning supplements.
#2 - Joe Hupp
Joe Hupp runs a Renaissance costume website called http://www.renaissancemodel.com/. This site offers clothes and accessories that span styles from "Medieval Maiden" to "Dashing Pirate." He targets an audience that is looking for costumes for Renaissance fairs and other similar events.
The site is intuitively organized into Men's Costumes, Women's Costumes, Children's Costumes, and Accessories, and it is then broken down into smaller categories so that site visitors can find exactly what they need. There is also a search bar at the top of the site that helps with this as well. RenaissanceModel.com features a prominent newsletter sign-up form that promises exclusive discounts and new product updates for subscribers.
#3 - Adam and Liz Morgan
They saw firsthand how expensive it can be to accumulate storage of food. As a result, they created http://householdfoodstorage.com which aims to make food storage affordable. They've got a great selection of freeze dried and dehydrated fruits, vegetables, dairy, grains, and legumes.
#4 - Robert Anderson
Robert has his head on tight when it comes to business. He's teachable and has an unmatched work ethic. It's no surprise that he's been successful in selling personal protection items, such as stun guns, sprays, personal alarms, and more. His site is http://www.alldefenseproducts.com.
Consider getting into the drop shipping/e-commerce business. If Adam, Robert, Magda, and Joe can be successful with it, then there's no reason you can't be as well.

The German-born designer is renowned for his attachment to the pampered pet, who often travels around with him on his private jet."You know, personally, I don't even think I'm that famous," said Lagerfeld. "Now, Choupette really is famous. She has become the most famous cat in the world. I even get propositioned by pet food companies and things like that, but it's out of the question. I'm commercial. She's not. She's spoiled to death. Obviously."INSIDE KARL'S LONDON PARTYThe Chanel creative director goes to great lengths to ensure that Choupette - which means "sweetie" in French - is sufficiently attended to at all times while he's working: she has three maids, and pays a visit to the vet for a check-up every 10 days. "I don't take her," he told The Independent. "I don't want her to be furious with me."Lagerfeld is thought to paying the ultimate tribute to his cat, by naming a new Chanel bag after her - a rumour which has yet to be confirmed by the fashion house.

Pizza cutter can save you time and money
I love when I can re-purpose things in order to save time and money.
One of those things is a pizza cutter. Of course we use it to cut our pizza but did you know it can also help when it comes to mincing your herbs?
Yes that is right and it is a lot easier and less dangerous to use that pizza cutter to mince or finely chop your cilantro, parsley or whatever you need to mince.
As far as getting the smell of garlic off of your hands. How about rubbing a lemon and salt mixture over those stinky garlicky hands.
Once you do that your hands should smell a lot fresher. Just be careful not to have any cuts or dry hands because that lemon will make your hands sting.

It would seem that Motorcyclist magazine has identified a huge Harley brain-fart. It's one of those stinkers that doesn't show it's "Na Na, told-ya-so" smell until years later. In their article, Born Again Buell, MC Mag shows us just how innovative, tenacious, creative and crafty Eric Buell is. And it's time for some indirect nose-thumbing.
Harley dumped Buell back in 2009 and herein lies the ground-zero in the fart timeline. Buell seemingly has always been an out-of-the-box thinker. Of the models Harley produced under the Buell badging, the Ulysses was pretty cool. So was the Buell Blast. How many folks learned to ride (and continue to do so, perhaps) on a Blast during their MSF Basic Rider Course? There could have been a lot more cooler models as well, had Harley unleashed the magic of Mr. Buell. Instead, it seems they suppressed what could have been by too much oversight; sort of like an overprotective parent not letting a kid do fun stuff.
The details of the split with Harley notwithstanding, what Buell is doing today is what likely has some ancient Harley higher-up types grumbling.
As highlighted in Motorcyclists mag's article, Buell is cranking out his 1190RS sportbike at a state-of-the-art facility in Wisconsin and from accounts so far, it's a contender. It's what Eric Buell said, however, that we can assume get's Harley's attention: EBR (Eric Buell Racing) is preparing to throw together a couple more bikes, and ADV variant of the 1190 and some others, not specified.
Now granted, EB himself said in the article, he's appreciative of his years at Harley and talks very upbeat about the company. And that's indeed classy, considering the situation in '09. Harley does indeed make some sweet bikes, firmly entrenched in the cruiser/touring bike markets.
But let's take some "what-if's" for a spin. What if, EBR decides to crank out a sport-touring bike? What if they start working on a full-fledged bagger? What if his 1190RS or perhaps another sportbike model starts winning big-time races? Back in the days of Harley vs Indian, what happened on the racetrack directly equated to showrooms sales. And Harley isn't cranking out any sportbike anytime soon, right?
Ok, right now at least, it's apples and oranges. EBR does their thing with light, fast and fun sportbikes. Harley doesn't. We get that. But Harley could have been looking at their own sportbike built by Buell, right? Heck, why not get back into racing something other than flat-track?
It's indeed arguable that it's starting to smell like a brain-fart at the Harley HQ. Time will tell whether or not they'll be punching drywall in the board room due to a lack of foresight. Certainly, Harley had their reason to dump Buell, perhaps recessionary in origin, perhaps not. Maybe, Harley just stopped liking Eric Buell. Or, maybe their ego's got in the way. Or, was it the fact that they couldn't stomach any type of bike sitting in a Harley showroom that even looked like an Asian marque? There's some evidence to this latter hypothesis, just ride up to a HD dealer on a Kawasaki or Suzuki. They'll hardly give you the time of day unless they see a check book and a trade-in.
Harley is likely going to end up eating some crow for dumping Buell. And even if EBR's namesake remains overtly appreciative and all smiles when discussing his tenure at HD, it's fun to think that behind closed doors there's some payback smack-talk going on.

Beatles author Mark Lewisohn told Beatles Examiner April 10 that a second reprint of the extended edition of "The Beatles: All These Years, Volume 1 – Tune In," which has been unavailable since selling out late last year, is at the printers. "It is being printed now, and will be available soon," he said.
But he advised those who want it to not delay. "Most of this reprint is already sold on pre-orders, with just a few further copies available beyond that," he said, adding that "further reprints will depend purely on demand. Hopefully there will be more, but it isn't certain at this point."
The extended edition originally came out in November, a month after the abridged version, and it quickly sold out, as did an instant reprint. The early sales of the abridged version caused it to make a brief appearance on the New York Times bestseller list.
In March, Lewisohn's British publisher Little, Brown announced the extended version would be reprinted again. "We are delighted to announce that the extended special edition of "The Beatles: All These Years (Volume One: Tune In)" is now available for fans to order once more, following its initial print-run selling out last year," said publishing director Tim Whiting.
Despite widespread disappointment that Crown Archetype, the U.S. publisher of "Tune In", chose not to publish the extended edition in America, not even in e-book form, Lewisohn said in February that the longer version of his book would become available again. The book must be ordered on the Amazon.co.uk site. The ordering price of the hardcover extended edition is £80.64 ($134.94 USD). Third-party vendors have asked nearly $500 for the book. The e-book version of the expanded edition, available in two separate files, is still for sale, but only to UK-based devices.
In its 944-page shorter version and 1,728 page extended edition, "Tune In" is the first volume of "All These Years", a projected three volume biographical history, the most comprehensive ever written about the Beatles. It covers their lives through Dec. 31, 1962, just as they were about to hit the world stage.

Rehabilitation Nursing's Responsiblity in Shaping the Future U.S. Health System
Whenever illness or injury occurs, everyone wants to receive the best possible care. Recently, The Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance System released the National Scorecard on U.S. Health System Performance 2008. This report reveals that compared to international performance benchmarks, the U.S. system once again falls well below acceptable standards (it was awarded an overall score of 65 out of a possible 100). In terms of efficiency, the United States ranks 53 out of 100 on measures identifying inappropriate or fragmented care, avoidable costs, inadequate delivery of recommended preventive care, variation in quality and costs, and insufficient use of information technology. According to this report, the United States spends twice per capita what other industrialized countries spend on health care and is projected to soon spend $1 for every $5 of national income (Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System, 2008). So why are we in such a negative predicament? What can realistically be done to immediately begin reversing these trends?
Although the United States falls short on many performance measures, access and efficiency of care remain two major stumbling blocks. In addition, the United States now unfortunately ranks last out of 19 countries for mortality responsive to medical care and actually fell from 15 to 19 during the past 2 years.
While change cannot occur overnight, inaction and apathy are not options. Healthcare providers, insurance providers, legislators, and consumers alike must accept accountability for our healthcare situation and work more productively to find solutions. Blaming or pointing the finger are not productive solutions and will just perpetuate the downward spiral. Data-based decision making is essential as we move in a more positive and uncharted direction.
When reviewing the many elements that need improvement, it is apparent that rehabilitation nurses serve in a leadership position and are role models for finding ways to move health care forward. Within rehabilitation, the team approach forms the structure for each patient's coordinated, individualized, and follow-up care—qualities that are frequently lacking in the general healthcare environment. The result of this unified approach is much more patient-centered and timely care with discharge planning that is consistently tailored according to realistic patient and family needs, capabilities, and resources. For instance, recovery after stroke is a complex process. It encompasses the interplay of the pathophysiologic and psychological processes directly related to the stroke (including the associated comorbidities), the effect this health condition has on the stroke survivor and his or her family, and preventative problems (e.g., falls, skin breakdown, contractures). Given our multiple success stories involving a myriad of patients with acute and chronic problems (i.e., traumatic brain injury, cancer, amputations, multiple sclerosis, stroke) who transcend what appear to be insurmountable obstacles, rehabilitation professionals need to share their outcomes more consistently with the media, legislators, insurance providers, and the general public.
This is not a time to be timid as a professional group. As we all know, rehabilitation nurses are able to see the strengths and possibilities for our patients and their families rather than the obstacles and limitations. We concentrate on promoting independence and the highest quality of life, but also frame our approach with a blend of increased patient access to needed services, evidence-based practice, tenacity, flexibility to redirect resources as needed, and creativity as we provide coordinated care. In addition, as a professional organization and practice group, rehabilitation nurses are more sensitive to best practices and early emphasis on rehabilitation as appropriate, expanding the scientific base and evolving skills associated with our practice, and the importance of timely and comprehensive documentation of what has been accomplished and what remains to be achieved. Just as we consciously cultivate a greater sense of confidence, partnership, accountability, creativity, resource building, and caring with our patients and their families, so too must we expand those actions that energize our colleagues and other stakeholders. The dividends could be improved quality and efficiency of care, positive patient and family outcomes, and enduring effective partnerships.
Rehabilitation nurses may not have all of the answers to redress healthcare delivery inadequacies; however, as indicated by the articles in this issue, rehabilitation nurses possess a broad array of expanding skills and knowledge that enhance care delivery from basic proficiencies to cutting-edge practice. Moreover, with the journal now online, greater numbers of health professionals and other stakeholders will have easier access to what is occurring in the field of rehabilitation.
The U.S. health system needs to take an objective look at what is working well and immediately redesign those areas of critical deficiency. It is time to learn from the past and look toward the future. We need to clearly articulate measurable and achievable outcomes that demand accountability and effective partnering of all stakeholders to develop the quality healthcare system that we all want and deserve. The foundation of our practice consistently illustrates that rehabilitation nurses can transcend boundaries and will always strive to facilitate the highest possible performance.

During the month of February we saw record amounts of rainfall over NWFL. According to the legend on the above map we saw between 10-20" over NWFL, SEAL, and SWGA!
That decreased our drought situation from Moderate to Severe...
Down to No Drought/Abnormally Dry.
Of course with rivers running high and the light of spring at the end of the Winter tunnel everyone wants to know what we can expect during the month of March.
As it shapes up now March looks to be cool for the 1st half, but the second half should be warm enough to keep us close to average. Rain is also expected to be close to average.
At the beginning of March we typically average 69º for a high and 46º for a low. Meanwhile at the end of the month we average 74º and 54º. Also, we average 5.63" in a typical month.
The good news is the rivers are now going down and we got some very benficial rain. No major events are on the horizon. But stay tuned... you never know when Mother Nature will throw us a curveball!

From the Bay News 9 website, the Coast Guard in St. Pete had a busy day unloading a large amount of cocaine seized from Panama...
In St. Petersburg, Coast Guard officials said they were offloading more than $12 million worth of seized cocaine at the agency's St. Petersburg sector last weekend.
The cocaine was seized in two cases by crews on the USS Halyburton in waters northeast of Panama last month, officials said.
On Feb. 7, a maritime patrol aircraft spotted a 40-foot go-fast vessel near Panama. Coast Guard officials launched a smallboat, which followed the vessel as it released several packages into the water.
The go-fast fled toward Panamanian waters, but Coast guard crews recovered three bales that tested positive for cocaine, officials said.
Then, on Feb. 14, a maritime patrol aircraft located a go-fast vessel releasing bales in the water near the previous location. The Coast Guard recovered 12 bales of cocaine, and the Colombian Navy arrested the alleged smugglers.
The contraband was transferred to the cutter Resolute for offload at the Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg. From there it is expected to be kept in an evidence lab and then destroyed.

Can't wait till July 29 for the "Jersey Shore" season-two premiere? Well, MTV News debuted an exclusive 13-minute clip from the new season during the MTV Movie Awards pre-show.
Starting with a short recap of some of season one's juiciest moments, fans can take a look at the setup of the new season and check in and see where the Shore-mates have been since the end of the last one. As an epic snowstorm descends on the Eastern Seaboard, the castmembers decide to head South to Miami, where they intend to bring their fist-pumping action to the topless beaches. Snooki reveals that "when she was done Snookin' for love, she found an amazing gorilla juicehead," with whom she's enjoyed a two-month romance. But she says she's open to getting in trouble, as long as the drinks are flowing down in Miami. "I feel like I'm going to be like a tornado — going from place to place destroying things."
After Snooki's juicehead helps cover her in self-tanner — which she astutely points out that President Obama has raised taxes on — she and JWoww depart in a black SUV to make the trek down to Florida for season-two fun.
Meanwhile, "brothers from another mother" Pauly D and "The Situation" hope to arrive in time to enjoy their pick of the plush Miami digs, but the duo make a detour in Myrtle Beach, where they load up on fireworks. Unfortunately, Pauly's SUV gets stuck in the mud, and although they pass the time launching bottle rockets into the sky as an SOS for AAA, it ultimately takes two tow trucks and a new pair of Nikes to get Pauly and Sitch back on the road again.
In another vehicle, Sammi "Sweetheart" announces unceremoniously that she and her season-one fella, Ronnie, have parted ways, and the two mutually agreed to be single. (We look forward to seeing how well that works out.) Ronnie in particular seems ready to be unfettered by long-term female companionship, although one of his well-wishing buddies warns him about "double-baggers," girls whose attractiveness is so questionable that they require the guy to wear a bag over his head "in case hers falls off."
Finally, there's Angelina, the self-professed "Kim Kardashian of Staten Island." She announces that she's looking forward to season two because she's hoping it will give her a chance to "show everybody the real Angelina — not just the bitchy side." That said, she freely admits that "the bitch of Staten Island is back and f—ing ready to party!"
While Pauly and Sitch struggle to free themselves from the South Carolina mud, Snooki and JWoww arrive at a bar in Savannah, Georgia, where they try out local delicacies and turn down romantic advances. As they dine on fried pickles, a guy approaches with a pair of shot glasses and joins them for a drink. Snooki suggests that the guy "f—s his sister for a living," but JWoww is a little kinder, saying he does not know how to hit on girls. If their opinions seem a little cruel, take comfort in the fact that the guy eventually offers his own version of iconic Jersey fist-pumping, which more or less earns all the criticisms that they volunteer about him.

Season two of "Jersey Shore" premieres Thursday, July 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Be there!
