DNA: Ancient Europeans Disappeared 4,500 Years Ago, Today's Genetic History Uncovered?
- Michael Briggs , Design & Trend Staff Writer

DNA from almost 40 skeletons discovered in central Europe is helping researchers understand complex mysteries that contributed to the shaping of the European population.
A genetic lineage of Europeans disappeared 4,500 years ago without much of a trace, leading historians to ponder what sort of event led to the alteration in genetic profiles of Europeans from there on out.
"What is intriguing is that the genetic markers of this first pan-European culture, which was clearly very successful, were then suddenly replaced around 4,500 years ago, and we don't know why," study co-author Alan Cooper, said in a statement. "Something major happened, and the hunt is now on to find out what that was."
However, after decades of studying the DNA of the skeletons, researchers believe two major events affected the continent's genetic landscape: the initial breeding by hunter-gatherers in Palaeolithic times (35,000 years ago) and a later wave of migration by farmers in the early Neolithic times (6,000 years ago.)
The team used the skeletons, which were all discovered in Germany except for two unearthed in Italy, that range from 2,500 to 7,500 years old to search for a DNA called haplogroup h, which is found widely throughout Europe but is much less prevalent in East and Central Asia. Today, "nearly 40%" of Europeans belong to this genetic group, with a greater amount in the western area of the continent.
The findings indicated that the skeletons resembled the Near Eastern and Anatolian people, suggesting an agricultural revolution led people into Europe who were then replaced by early hunter-gatherers. This change, however, was not the radical genetic alteration that shaped Europe's current population.
Instead, researchers were led to believe that the change occurred after a major event took place around 5,000 to 4,000 years ago. The Bell Beaker culture, a group that migrated from the Iberian Peninsula around 2800 B.C, may have spawned that change in genetics.
"We have established that the genetic foundations for modern Europe were only established in the Mid-Neolithic, after this major genetic transition around 4,000 years ago," study co-author Wolfgang Haak, said in a statement. "This genetic diversity was then modified further by a series of incoming and expanding cultures from Iberia and Eastern Europe through the Late Neolithic."
The Bell Beaker culture is thought to have a role in erecting some of the megaliths at Stonehenge and also played a role in the shaping of the Celtic languages along the coast of Europe. They are said to resemble people of Portugal and Spain today.
Despite the findings, Dr Spencer Wells, director of the Genographic Project, which was behind the study, said more work needs to be done to further understand European history.
"Studies such as this on ancient remains serve as a valuable adjunct to the work we are doing with modern populations in the Genographic Project. While the DNA of people alive today can reveal the end result of their ancestors' ancient movements, to really understand the dynamics of how modern genetic patterns were created we need to study ancient material as well."

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Proustable, Jan 20, 2013.
w o w their haters are so ridiculous
i think tessa was the one that really asked to stop, not scott. if you look at their movements after that aborted lift, it looked like scott was ready to continue but tessa wasnt. that's why, after that aborted lift, i really think scott mouthed "it's okay, it's okay", not "i can't do it", to assure tessa that even if she didnt want to do the lift, they can still continue with the rest of the program.
Yea, I agree that it looked like Scott was about to continue, but was unsure about it . My initial impression was that they communicated that they'd skip the lift and continue, but then Tessa couldn't. That would make sense if it looked like he said "I'm sorry" after, because he looked like he intended to keep going.
It'd be really interesting to hear what they say if they had mics on. Not necessarily this event, just like, their key words and communication in general.
I agree - I am probably going to stay away from that place for a while. It just gets me angry. Honestly the only place right now that seems safe from the haters is the Tessa and Scott facebook group.
If anyone's awake, this is a Eurosport link to the gala...
Virtue and Moir are there.
bmcg, I, too, hate it when all fans get lumped together. Thankfully, only one person seems to be doing that here.
and thank you so much, Fort! That is great news!
Guys, feel sorry, I forget post about standing ovations for DW. I was so busy with thoughts about Tess
a and miss one word in my message. I am sorry my message start all this war. If someone could watch gala, please post how Tessa look like
hauntingly beautiful. Tessa was exquisite. *chills*
ETA: Now that I have found some words, I just wanted to add that Tessa seemed to be smiling and dancing to the beat in the finale. It was really nice to see that. The girl always puts on a brave face, but I am going to take this, and the fact that they skated in the gala at all, as a good sign.
and walei, I thought your post was sooo funny! thanks for that, I needed a good laugh
I hope the fsu VM thread can be like a VM bubble... just as they have one, we have can form one too. Actually, the only time I ever hear about the "negativity" is when it's reported about in here. Wouldn't it be the dream to just cut out that drivel by not repeating it over and over?...repetition reinforces and strengthens the reach of all that negativity. We do have some power here to limit its reach. I also suggest that we save a future thread title for something about a bubble, like "our bubble", or "the VM bubble", referring to not only a place to celebrate VM but also a place to celebrate the VM fan, a place that can be safe and positive, with constructive dialogue and connections made.
eta: I'm still for "love is not a victory march". Also, reflecting upon what I just wrote, diversity of opinion is important too...I suppose that negativity would come with that. Oh dear, the freedom-of-internet-speech is a tricky one.
Hello all, T/S were just wonderful in exhibition, and I was so happy to see smiling Tessa at the end!
Anyways, I just wanted to cheer you up, guys.
Some pages before we talked about Tessa and My Little Ponies ( ) and even didn't know WHAT is going to happen.
Can we just remember all the beautiful and funny moments what we have had with them and send them supportive vibrations?
Tessa just send us her beautiful smile to say:"Life is going to continue!"
Sending 100 of hugs to you all.
The second half of the gala performances. Virtue and Moir are at about 29:40 and then again in the finale.
Thank you! Its great news for me they were in gala and she was smiling!
And thanks for your post. They are such strong and optimistic people. So - lest smile and no matter, what with going, just smile and try catch every moment of this joy - V-M in competitive skating.
I'm a Natalie & Fabian fan first BUT love watching both Tessa & Scott & Meryl & Charlie. I enjoyed watching both the SD & FD & was gutted when Tessa had to stop as I was swept away by their FD. I can understand the high levels that Meryl & Charlie get but I feel that Tessa & Scott DANCE more than any other couple.
Daniskates93-I feel your pain. Leg cramp is the WORSE pain I have ever been through
Hope Natalie & Fabian and Keythlyn with Andrew will be at WCh. Pray for them all. Without this teams WCh will not be the same for me.
V-M Carmen more hot than before There is lot off sex. when there is so much sex you need break. Then sex get better
I'm glad to see Tessa was OK for the gala. Muscle cramps are no fun at all; it has to have been hard for her to continue skating, and she has my respect.
Here's a version of the gala link that goes directly to the start of their lovely "Hallelujah" Ex, after you click on the Play arrow.
Well said! We should not forget their continuous string of podium finishes. In fact they have only once not been on the podium since they hit seniors - their first year. This is a tremendous achievement.
I have stayed away from the board a bit due to travel and also negativity. I have reached a place in my heart where I only want to enjoy them for the next few skates whatever the outcome. In the light of their health and their string of achievements and in the light of their pushing the boundaries more than any one else ( in my opinion) in these difficult COP days I think they have done a remarkable job.
Go Tessa & Scott!!
Okay I know that this will never happen since its the season before the Olympics, but what if Tessa and Scott went to Igor next season? They already know him so it won't be that weird and then they could use Swan for their choreography.
Also there would be so much more drama and shade between Marina and Igor which would be entertaining.
Guys, who will go to WCh in London. Did you already bought Virtue and Moir World's T-shirts Join the "Yellow Wave"?
I think you need to buy one and show all support to V-M (and from us, who couldnt go, too )/
I think this will be great title for thread during WCh, no? I mean "Yellow Wave".
From what i read in russian press this will be unlucky. Look like Igor wish to have Meryl and Charlie back, but not T-S. Maybe SC need to ask him.
And at 4CC he left C-B along for FD and went to Bavarian Open to support Tobais-Stagnionas, he wasnt at ECh. So he couldnt find good accictent yet.
Pani, where are the "yellow wave" shirts being sold? First I've heard of this. I'm planning to get the Toller Cranston poster.
Keep speaking up, positive people! We need voices of reason and some calm here. I was appalled at the vicious nasty outpouring yesterday when I first heard of the dance result. Then I reminded myself that it's just a month from World's and that's when the baiters and trolls come out in full force. Time to draw back, as emdee wisely suggests, and try to keep some perspective.
It always amazes me that we listen to a few negative voices that manage to yell the loudest when the majority speak in calm reasoned positive tones! I know it has been said for years:"don't feed the trolls!" We should start using our ignore buttons.
And pani, you did not start this so don't apologize.
Positive thoughts for Worlds! May all skaters skate their best!
I read about it on Ilderton skating club FB page. You could see it there and read message from Alma Moir with informationa about prize, sizes, how to buy.
Have I missed where we talked about Scott not gelling his hair for the FD? It was one of the bright spots for me, for sure!
Yes, we talked about this - like about something good in this situation
Not really.
I mentioned it yesterday to lighten the mood in the midst of the shock, but nobody bit.
But now that everyone is calmer..perhaps people can start breaking down the performance (including hair).
This is wishful thinking, but sometime I do wonder whether someone from V/M's team visits this forum from time to time.
I'm quite partial to that potential title as well. It seems fitting.
Love how Scott really intensely tells Tessa "Awesome!" at the end of the gala. Could there be a more supportive partner than Scott?
Pani where have you read this? It is about time for the annual V/M thread "should they move coaches" debate
Well, I thought it looked fabulous, and was only more proof that Scott should never gel his hair again.
I love the costuming overall for this FD.
I always thought that D/W were Igor's team and V/M were Marina's? If V/M win Worlds, perhaps it's Meryl and Charlie who might want to head to Novi.
The Shibs, OTOH, definitely need to get out of Canton.
Serious use of gel and other hair products should be left to true professionals. Like Takahashi.

No Doubt's Comeback Album Delayed
Don't hold your breath waiting for the next album by No Doubt.
The band issued a statement on their website letting fans know that they've still got a ways to go before dropping any new music. The statement read, "Ideally our new record would be coming out this year but it's just not ready yet. We don't want to rush this album just to get it out. This collection of songs means everything to us and our only priority right now is to make sure that it's the best album we can possibly make. There is still more work for us to do. …"
At the end they added, "We love our fans and are doing this for your ears and want you to know how much we appreciate your patience and support," they wrote. "There have been some stories circulating about us collaborating with outside producers and artists. Please don't believe anything you hear unless it comes from us."

If within earshot of a conversation taking place in a foreign tongue, Evan take it as his que. Hearing someone rant in Italian, sing in French, or cough in German…switches a light bulb on in his head.
Usually I can it feel coming….for it is inevitable. He gets this crazy look in his eye and calmly clears his throat. He dramatically opens his mouth and out fall words so ancient in energy they make my spine hurt. A combination of 20 different languages with a hint of Pig Latin, it is truly unique. As the sole person on earth possessing the ability to speak this un-written dialect, he must be careful who he shares it with…but I'll give you a few hints as to how it works. Perhaps you can channel it as well.
Close your eyes and breathe in 1, 2, 3. Now pretend you are in the middle of a lavender field, entertaining guests and nibbling away at wild plums. A language is spilling from you, so familiar that you are presently wondering how you ever forgot it. "Verla voushe hourla ssssshwi pa? Shoue toute!! fta fta!" Ahhh, now you're getting the hang of it.
The magical flavors and colors of this orange scented Plum Dimple Cake will undoubtedly assist in your remembrance. As the days tick on by and we feel less like children, never ever let go of that youthful imagination of yours. For it will bring radiant light forth from your eyes and perhaps frighten away the crow's feet.
Light and slightly crumbly, this cake is best eaten a day after it is made.
For this Plum Dimple Cake I followed Smitten Kitchen's recipe and added a dash of cardamom. What a perfect way to summon one's imagination.

/// Alibaba: NYSE, Nasdaq Approve Partnership Structure Proposal
October 21, 2013 | All Things Digital
The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market have each agreed to let Alibaba Group Holding's founder and senior management team have control over the board of the Chinese e-commerce giant if it seeks to list its stock on the exchanges, Alibaba said. The approvals mean fewer hurdles for a possible U.S. initial public offering by Alibaba. The deal, if it happens, could be the largest Internet IPO since Facebook Inc.'s market debut last year.

The labour market appears to be regaining momentum, with the biggest jump in jobs in four months pushing the unemployment rate to its equal lowest point since the global financial crisis.
Official figures show 37,800 jobs were created last month, the vast majority of them full-time, as the annual rate of employment growth accelerated to 2.9 per cent. The number of unemployed fell by more than 10,000, pushing the jobless rate down to 4.9 per cent. The participation rate edged 0.1 of a percentage point higher to 65.8 per cent.
The result substantially exceeded market expectations that employment would increase by 22,000, and underlines concerns that skills shortages will rapidly spread from the booming resources sector to other parts of the economy.
The result will increase the pressure on the federal government to unveil significant initiatives to boost training and workforce participation in next month's budget.
With the jobless rate at 5 per cent the labour force is considered to be close to fully employed, and an Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry survey has found that a growing number of employers are citing a lack of suitably qualified workers as a significant constraint on grow.
But according to the Reserve Bank of Australia there are few signs of skills shortages outside of the booming mining industry.
In announcing Tuesday's decision to leave the official cash rate on hold for a fifth consecutive month, RBA governor Glenn Stevens said the pace of jobs growth had eased, and although the economy would continue to create more work, areas of tightness in the labour market were limited.
"Growth in employment has moderated over recent months," Mr Stevens said. "Reports of skills shortages remain confined, at this point, to the resources and related sectors."
But the central bank is expected to keep a wary eye on labour demand and wage pressures given the nation's massive pipeline of mining-related investment, which is expected to be sustained at high levels for a number of years because of the strength of global demand for commodities.
Working in the RBA's favour is evidence that despite the historically-low jobless rate there remains a massive pool of underemployed workers that employers can draw upon.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics report has found there are about 1.3 million people who are not in the labour force but want to work, including 614,000 people who might work, or planned to get a job, in the next 12 months.
The federal government has flagged the May budget will contain measures to boost workforce participation, and Prime Minister Julia Gillard has outlined tough new "no show, no pay" laws to cut the number of jobseekers missing employment interviews.
But even with these measures, both the government and the RBA expect the unemployment rate to drop, with Treasury forecasting it to reach 4.5 per cent by mid-2012.
The tightening labour market is likely to boost wages growth, which has already bounced back to levels not seen since the global financial crisis, raising

Better before or after?

Nicole Richie has been sporting new brunette locks this winter. I love the color I think it really flatters her skin tone. Though she does look a little like a morph between J Lo and Mischa Barton.
What do you think of her new locks are you a fan of the beach blonde or brunette?

Sidelined with a strained left calf, Trevor Ariza was unable to make the trip to New Orleans on Dec. 11, when the Wizards won their first road game of the season against the Hornets, 77-70.
With his former team in town on Friday for the rematch at Verizon Center, Ariza is healthier – though he is dealing with a sore left knee – and has finally found a comfortable role on the Wizards. But he isn't trying to place any special meaning in facing the team that traded him, along with Emeka Okafor, last June in a deal for Rashard Lewis's expiring contract.
"I've been on a number of teams," Ariza said with a grin. "Treat it like it's a regular game. Not really worry about me, or individual things, but this is not an individual sport. It's a team sport. Just stick to our game plan and do what I need to do."
Ariza spent two seasons in New Orleans, helping the Hornets reach the playoffs in 2010-11 before the franchise traded Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers and began to initiate its rebuilding efforts. He played his final game for the organization on April 7, scoring just four points in win over Minnesota. Hornets Coach Monty Williams later informed Ariza of his plans to start Al-Farouq Aminu, one of the pieces acquired in the Paul deal, for the remainder of the season. Ariza sat the final 10 games and assumed that he would get dealt.
When asked about the situation last June, Ariza said: "It is what it is. I loved my teammates there. They are all great players. I did everything I can to help them. Even when I wasn't playing, I still encouraged all the players to be all they can be, to continue to work hard. I still did what I needed to do, to stay in shape, to keep my game going to try to get better. When they realized they wanted to bring Farouq along, I was all for it. It's not my team. It's their decisions to make and I'm just a player in this league."
After practicing at Georgetown's McDonough Arena on Thursday, Williams praised Ariza and Okafor for their contributions to the organization.
"They were vets. That understood how to play," he said. "Emeka was a guy that I didn't understand how good he was until he didn't play. When he was injured with us a few games, our record was different, our rebounding was different, our defense was different. And Trevor was one of those guys who can just defend, knock down timely shots.
"I was really tough on both of them, so they probably had some different things to say about me," Williams said before laughing. "But I really value what they brought to the table. You can't put a value on experience."
Ariza struggled in his first 15 games with the Wizards, averaging just 8.1 points on 34.9 percent shooting from the floor and 25.6 percent from three-point range. But his production has increased dramatically since John Wall returned to the lineup – and especially in recent weeks.
In his past 20 games, Ariza is averaging 12.1 points on 46.8 percent shooting from the field while connecting on 41.4 percent from the floor. Williams said it wasn't a coincidence that Ariza's performance has improved while playing with Wall.
"Trev is a really good complement guy and that doesn't diminish anything about his game," Williams said. "If you can set the table for Trevor, he can finish it, whether it's with a three, on the break, flashing to the basket. Trevor is a high who has a really high IQ for the game. Guys like that you don't have to do much to set them up. You just have to put them in their spots and allow their instincts to take over and he has good natural instincts. Defensively, he was the guy who I put on the toughest wing guy every single night, Durant, LeBron, Carmelo and never backed down from the challenge. Those guys were really important to our program."
Ariza said he feels better about playing the Hornets now that he has fully adjusted to his surroundings in Washington. "It's a good thing. Always good to be playing good when you face your old team."

Flora bring indigenous art to life
Page Tools
Michelle Ussher is proud of her wall drawing The Garden Inside
Walking into Michelle Ussher's studio in Gertrude Street Artists Spaces in Fitzroy a few weeks ago was like experiencing an odd dimensional shift.
The air smelt of eucalyptus. A rough shelter of hessian hung from the ceiling and the fronds of ferns curled from the corners.
This environment was transplanted last week. It's now at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art for the latest round of Primavera, an annual show spotlighting works by artists under the age of 35.
The curator of Primavera, Felicity Fenner, chose as her theme the realm of "land" and "place".
Primavera was established in 1992 and has helped uncover such artists as David Noonan and Lisa Roet. Somewhat surprisingly, this is the first Primavera to feature Aboriginal artists.
Of course, tackling the landscape in contemporary terms is a hazardous affair at best. Art began - whether Aboriginal or European - with references to locality. In Australia, it comes from early depictions of the flora, fauna and trauma of the land and was followed by the European colonial works of John Glover and others.
Fenner is quick to point out the diversity of the cultural backgrounds that her nine artists represent. The result is a mixed bag, from the beautifully rendered works of Pedro Wonaeamirri, who hails from the Melville Islands, through to the surreal tableaus of Madelaine Kelly, where the environment is under attack.
Place and land were Fenner's choice of theme from day one and she immediately recognised that indigenous art would have to be included.
"Obviously, I couldn't do a show about the land in Australia without indigenous art," she says. But this posed a problem.
"Primavera has always been designed to be a show for artists under the age of 35," she says.
Fenner went hunting, eventually finding Wonaeamirri's work in Darwin. "I couldn't believe he was only 31," she says.
The amazingly intricate works of Yukutji Napangati only just fit the parameters. Twenty years ago, aged about 14, Napangati was in a family group who walked out of the desert region west of Lake Mackay, never having encountered white people.
"They weren't sure how old she was, but the best guess is that she was born in 1970," admits Fenner, who acknowledges that being restricted to artists under 35 was "slightly annoying".
Fenner was introduced to Ussher's work via the director of the Monash Museum of Contemporary Art, Max Delany.
Ussher has been showing in independent spaces in Melbourne and Sydney since 2002, but her inclusion in Primavera looks set to establish her name in the broader art world.
Her elaborate installation, the cornerstone of which is a massive watercolour, depicts humanity dwarfed by flora.
Ad hoc camp sites are established amid this Lilliputian environment, the wee campers awe-struck by the gargantuan plant life around them.

Past Exhibitions
Hoboken, Ellis Island, and the Immigrant Experience, 1892-1924
Dates: August 3, 2014 – December 23, 2014
If Hoboken seems crowded today, with a population just over 50,000, imagine how crowded it was between 1892 – 1924, the peak period of U.S. immigration. Following the Immigration Act of 1891, which established federal control over immigration, Hoboken's—and the entire country's—demographics changed dramatically. During the next three decades, 20 million people immigrated to the United States, and more than half, 12 million, passed through the New York and Hoboken.
The Extraordinary Stevens Family, A New Jersey Legacy: 1776-1911
Dates: January 25 – July 5, 2015
"The Extraordinary Stevens Family, A New Jersey Legacy: 1776-1911" detailed the lives and careers of two generations of the family The New York Times referred to as "one of New Jersey's first families." The Stevenses were inventors and designers, engineers and urban planners, and their influence is still very much felt, and seen, in Hoboken, and across the nation.
Hoboken: One Year After Sandy, Lessons Learned about Preparedness, Resiliency, and Community
October 2013 - July 2014
Opening on the first anniversary of the historic storm, the exhibit used oral histories, images, videos, maps and scientific analyses to help explain how Hoboken responded and learned new lessons about coping with major storm surges.
I Belong: A History of Civic and Social Clubs in Hoboken
July – December 2012
Hoboken has always been a haven for newcomers. So perhaps it's not surprising that from as early as the 1700s, social clubs have sprung up as a way for people to connect with others around shared interests. From purely social groups like the Turtle Club—an eating and drinking society—to organizations devoted to civic and social philanthropy, along with special-interest clubs for theater, debate and sports, Hoboken has spawned a colorful array of clubs that reflect its citizens' diverse interests and backgrounds.
Mapping the Territory: Hudson County in Maps, 1840-2013
January – September 2013
Most of us use maps to learn how to get to where we need to go, but maps can also tell us a lot about where we have been and how we arrived at our destination. Maps can convey as much about a region as any unearthed artifact. For instance, an 1860 map of Hoboken shows boardwalks crisscrossing the undeveloped "meadows" in the western half of the city, where roads still called by their traditional names, Paterson Plank and Hackensack Plank, now run.
Driving Under the Hudson: A History of the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels
January – June 2012
Through this exhibition, we celebrated the 85th anniversary of the Holland Tunnel and the 75th birthday of the Lincoln Tunnel. Love them for the access they provide to New York City, or curse them for the rush-hour traffic that ensnares Hudson County drivers, the tunnels define Hoboken's northern and southern borders. Today we take them for granted, but when they were built, they were marvels of both engineering prowess and public works initiatives.
Yum Yum, Tootsie Rolls, and Chocolate Bunnies on Motorcycles....A Sweet History of Hoboken
January – December 2011
Buddy Valastro put Hoboken on the national culinary map with his popular TLC cable network show, "Cake Boss," but did you know that Hoboken has been a confectionary powerhouse since the mid-19th century?
Surveying the World:
Keuffel & Esser + Hoboken, 1875–1968
January - December 2010
K&E, the initials carved into the roofline of the building at the corner of Third & Adams, are the only visible trace of a company that played a significant role in America's phenomenal age of discovery and growth.
Up and Down the River:
A History of the Hudson, 1609–2009
March – December 2009
A hundred years ago, New York City threw a two-weeklong public celebration of a double anniversary: the tricentennial of Henry Hudson's voyage up the river and the centennial (plus two) of Robert Fulton's first successful steamboat crossing in 1807.
Heaven, Hell or Hoboken:
A City Transformed by World War I
September 2008 – January 2009
The designation as a port of embarkation meant national fame for Hoboken – General John J. Pershing's promise to the troops that they'd be in "Heaven, Hell or Hoboken" by Christmas of 1917 became a national rallying cry for a swift end to the war, which actually dragged on for another year.
Greetings from Hoboken:
A Postcard History
January - August 2008
Corresponding with the greatest growth spurt in Hoboken's history, 1898–1930, a simple change in postage from 2 cents to 1 transformed the medium of souvenir postcards into a national craze. Known among collectors as the "Golden Age of Postcards," the first half of that era, up to roughly the beginning of World War I, gave rise to a flourishing of creativity and communications in an age when mail was delivered twice a day in many urban areas.
Hoboken Tunes: Our Musical Heritage
July - December 2007
Frank Sinatra may have put Hoboken on the world map, but his is not the only musical career this town has fostered. Stephen Foster lived here when he wrote I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair. A few years after Sinatra, and just a few doors down from his childhood home, another crooner, Jimmy Roselli rose to fame singing standards and traditional Neapolitan songs.
From Another Time:
Hoboken in the 1970s
January – July 2007
Imagine a Hoboken before the high-rise residential towers and ubiquitous nail salons, cell phone stores, realtors and shoe boutiques. This exhibit celebrates the Museum's latest book, From Another Time: Hoboken in the 1970s, where visitors will be transported back to Hoboken in the 1970s through a series of powerful black and white photographs taken by three highly regarded photographers.

Welcome to High Desert Blogging!
I like to blog, write, read, travel, garden, take photos of nature, and go with my husband gallivanting around the High Desert in addition to travels across the U.S. In our travels we've spoken with individuals who have lived in their cities all of their lives and never ventured out to discover their surrounding attractions.

1989 SBC Valve Stem Seals
I've got a 1989 SBC with a one cylinder fouling the plug and using oil but does not smoke. The engine has been rebuilt and runs great, don't know how many miles are on it. It takes 800-1000 miles for the plug to foul and it uses at least a quart every 2000-3000 miles.
Is there a chance it's the valve stem seal(s)?
The parts stores list both the o-ring type and umbrella style. If it is the umbrella type should it have failed so soon? I know the old style o-ring seals are crap but the umbrella type work great.
89 uses the positive intake seal and plastic exhaust umbrella and O ring.
It is possible that the seals were not correctly installed or the valve guides were not properly checked/sized during the "rebuild".
I read another post on the forum that said use the positive on both valves. Should I do this or stick witrh the stock setup?
GM started using positive seals on the Vortec heads. Mostly for emissions benefit. Older heads need some lube on the exhaust. The intake seals will determine oil use the most tho. Vacuum on intake side, pressure on exhaust, most of the time.
Check for excessive valve/guide clearence when you change seal. Just try to wiggle valve sideways with no spring load/pressure on it. Should be no movement on a lubed stem.
Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check the valves, hope it's just a bad seal.
It could also be a bad match between the intake manifold and the cylinder head, preventing a good seal at the gasket and allowing oily vapors from the crankcase to be pulled up into the cylinder through the gap.

Ladies & GentsHave you ever wanted to try one of those detox programs to fight bloating and to flush out toxins from your system for a more healthy body? Growing up, I always worried about my weight since I am not as skinny as most Asian girls are, and even went through a phase where I purchased herbal weight-loss teas. I tried & LOVED the Triple Leaf Tea's "Dieter's Green" which actually really helped me when I was losing weight.
I've read other's testimonies on the product and people seem to be very pleased with it and it's quite popular. I'm more on the skeptical side. Now, I'm a tea fan and I know that teas are very good for you and some will do the above-mentioned things, but I don't think drinking a tea alone will magically do all those things for you. Having a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise and clean-eating will ultimately really lead to the changes you want.
Anyways, on to YourTea's Tiny Tea Teatox (14 day). This company offers a completely organic range of products and its teas are based on traditional Chinese herb blends. I think they are based in Australia, because on the side of the packaging it says "created by Aussies," but the product itself is manufactured in Hong Kong (fun fact: VitaSoy is an organic product and also manufactured in HK).
✿ What I Think ✿
I really love the eco packaging; it makes me more confident in the product :3 Beautiful packaging automatically makes me think it is a better quality product :P
It says you're supposed to drink this tea twice a day on an empty stomach either half an hour before, or after your meal (for optimal results). I sort of drank it from the morning throughout the rest of the day because that's what I usually do with my other teas :P
People have different opinions on the taste; some love it, some hate it. In my opinion it tastes like traditional Chinese teas you'd get at restaurants (although it does have a more medicinal smell when you inhale it). Maybe like a black tea or pu'er tea. It wasn't really anything special. I don't add sweeteners to my teas, but it says you can add honey or lemon to it to taste if you don't like it.
My Trial Run
** For my 2 week test run, I didn't exercise or change anything about my lifestyle. **
Sorry guys, it was Finals Week >////<
✿ I noticed by the second day that I had much higher energy levels (I usually get sleepy by 11-12 at night, but after drinking this, I didn't even feel tired until 3 am O_O). I was wondering why I couldn't sleep and realized that it was the boost of energy from the tea!! No wonder it says not to take at night :0 I started to limit intake to morning and afternoons.
✿ My skin was CLEARER!! Omg. And this isn't even formulated specifically for clearer skin, but I'm serious :O I have breakouts every once in a while and it gets more noticeable during exam weeks. After I drank this tea for a while, I felt like my breakouts weren't too bad anymore :O It may be a combination of things, but I really think this helped.
✿ As for the non-bloating, I didn't see too much of a difference since I haven't been exercising and have been eating junk to fuel me through studies. However, towards the end of my two weeks, I finished finals and came home where the tea did seem to make a difference!! I lost a couple of pounds, maybe with the combination of mom's healthy home cooking and lack of junk food.
I hope this was helpful to those of you who are thinking about trying this tea out!!

I had said quite a few times Comic Relief gets better year by year for charity, that may not have been the case here, while the generous charity money was record-breaking, the comedy was not that funny. There were some highlights, but you just got the feeling that maybe they are finding it tricky to come up with new and hilarious stuff, but it is still worth watching. Hosts were Davina McCall, David Tennant, Jonathan Ross, Claudia Winkleman, Fearne Britton, Alan Carr and Graham Norton. The parts of the show that stuck out were: the performance of "I Just Can't Get Enough" by The Saturdays. Harry Hill's TV Burp with highlights from the last few weeks. The Sarah Jane Adventures starring Elisabeth Sladen, Daniel Anthony, Tommy Knight and guest Ronnie Corbett. Mastermind with John Humpheries, Davina specialist subject Big Brother (scoring 8) vs. David specialist subject Doctor Who (scoring 14). Outnumbered starring Hugh Dennis, Claire Skinner, Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez. Victorian Dragons' Den with Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse doing their impressions of the Dragons (and Evan Davis) in front of the five real Dragons, Peter Jones, Duncan Bannatyne, James Caan, Theo Paphitis and Deborah Meaden. The performance of "Lean On Me" by Annie Lennox. David Walliams and Matt Lucas in two sketches, with Catherine Tate, and Robbie Williams. The final French & Saunders spoof film, Mamma Mia! starring Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Sienna Miller, Philip Glenister, Alan Carr, a swede, Miranda Hart, Lucas, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc. The celebrity climbers of Mount Kilimanjaro, Gary Barlow, Cheryl Cole, Chris Moyles, Kimberley Walsh, Ronan Keating, Fearne Cotton, Ben Shephard, Denise Van Outen and Alesha Dixon. The performance of "Puncture Repair" by Elbow.

The letter by Edward F. Chandler, in your issue of Jan. 17, favoring the arming of citizens against criminals is as sound as it can be. The right of self-defense is the first of all rights, and the duty of self-defense when criminally attacked is the first of dut ies.

Sunday, March 12, 2006
Lately, I've become increasingly aware that almost every time I go to Howelsen Hill, someone is making history. Or at least, everyone but me is making history.
On Friday, Steamboat's Lisa Perricone placed fourth in the NCAA slalom championships. Great job, Lisa -- Steamboat is proud of you. Put your name in the record books, you've earned a place in the history of skiing at Steamboat Springs. That's no small accomplishment.
Throughout the winter, past, present and future Olympic ski jumpers, snowboarders and freestyle skiers have been displaying their talent at the little ski area in downtown Steamboat Springs. When I see a Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club coach leading a pack of pint-sized athletes around Howelsen, I find myself looking at the innocent faces and wondering whether I could pick out the one who will someday challenge for an Olympic medal at the age of 17.
Watching the NCAA cross-country skiing championships Saturday morning, I began to get an inferiority complex.
"When am I going to make history?" I asked myself. "Is it too late for me?"
Then I looked down at the sleek black camera in my hands and realized that all of us who take photographs in the early part of the 21st Century also are making history. We just don't tend to be aware of "history making" as we go through our daily lives. History is only that collection of events that happened more than 25 years ago.
Or is it?
In case you haven't heard, film is dead. That means that if you still load your camera with film, you are among the last of a breed of documentary photographers who use acetate treated with light-sensitive chemicals to record the world around you. Every image you make is potentially that much more significant because it represents a soon-to-be-abandoned technology. Keep shooting film until you no longer can.
If you carry a digital camera around in your pocket, you are among the pioneers and early adopters of a new way of preserving brief moments in time.
This time that we live in is an era of transition that won't come again.
Certainly, there are many serious photographers who are reluctant to give up film. They know that once it is gone, they'll never be able to fully recapture the luster of a silver print.
But it's only a matter of time until the economics no longer support producing the materials used to make photographs the old-fashioned way. Kodak has announced it will stop making photographic papers for black and white prints. Konica-Minolta, unable to keep up with the accelerating pace of change in the industry, announced this winter that it was abandoning its photography division.
The camera I was privileged to be carrying Saturday belongs to the newspaper. It is a digital marvel with a shutter capable of capturing slices of time as fleeting as one eight-thousandth of a second. The Nikon D2Hs can fire eight times every second for as many as 50 images before it needs to take a time out. Another way of expressing the same thing is to say the camera is capable of making history 48 times in 6 seconds. Furthermore, if I'm feeling profound, I can attach 60-second voice memos to each picture.
Whew! That's a lot of history. If we aren't more careful with these digital cameras, we'll end up making so much history that people 50 years from now won't take the trouble to admire it.
Exposing film to light, then taking it into a darkened room to dunk it in smelly chemicals is an honorable way to make photographs.
But, there's nothing quite like the instant gratification of shooting digital images. And there's nothing quite like the freedom and spontaneity one experiences making photographs without having to feel guilty about "wasting" precious film.
I have this persistent feeling that today, right now, will someday be looked back upon as the golden age of still photography -- that quaint era before everyone simply grabbed their still images off their pocket video cameras and printed them off the television.
I guess we'll just have to let history be the judge of that.

text: Although I am all for the Monsto sized sensor, I'm somewhat confused as to what sort of usable aspect ratio you can get from the Monstro for theatrical or television productions. I can certainly understand how Monstro sensor sized would be beneficial if you're shooting with anamorphic lenses but will traditional anamorphic lenses even cover a full-frame Monstro sensor? Otherwise, what sort of realistic aspect ratios can you work with? Once you crop the frame to a 16:9 or 1.85, what are you really gaining over the Epic-X?

|Hero of Might and Magic
|Complete all main quest and side quest objectives in all Campaigns
Contains Spoilers! Read on at your own discretion.
IMPORTANT NOTE If you purchase the game from the trial version, go to the dashboard, then back to the game, then start a brand new game. This should solve the problem people are having with Hero of Might and Magic glitching
You will have to complete:
Main quest objectives
The side quest objectives are: Noted by silver swords/dialog box
Side Quests Guide
Irrolan 11 side quests
2. Sir Nathanson: After you battle Varkas go two steps to the right and there is this guard, guarding a chest.
All 4 Puzzle battles
Holy Griffin Empire 13 side quests
2. Defeat Fillion: In the section where you first avoided guards. Shows up after you beat the mission where you have to hit both gate switches at once.
3. Defeat Sir Gerhardt: After you complete the arena, he is to the right of the arena
4. Rematch at the arena: After you corner Count Carlyle you can go back to the entrance of the arena and do this.
Second Battle:
Third Battle:
All 4 Puzzle Battles
2. "X marks the spot": After you beat Sir Skeleton, talk to him and he will say something about treasure and the phrase "X marks the spot"
3. Defeat Farnir Greenvine: from the bounty giver go down and left, then up toward a spooky looking building. Farnir is on the left in front of the building.
4. Solve Dusty's riddle: In the catacombs below and to the right of the bounty giver. Once inside the catacombs, just go up.
6. Defeat Golobulus: After you get past the dragon part of the main quest (you will see what I mean by dragon part when you get there) go to the next area on the right, and in the lower right corner in front of a cave is this man…creature…thing.
Both Puzzle Battles
2. Defeat Talnir: After you win your story battle in the Screaming Hag Inn, he shows up below the inn and to the right
3. Hit Moody and Gut: Right past the Pit Fiend buying shrine, to the North of the Screaming Hag Inn
4. Defeat Pit Fiend: After the path to the left of the Screaming Hag Inn opens up follow it until you cross 2 bridges. Pit Fiend is on your right.
5. Defeat the Bounty Giver: After completing all bounties (could be all for game or campaign, I had both done) talk to the bounty giver and demolish him.
Both Puzzle Battles
2. Defeat Guard 2: eventually you will come to a part with a man with silver swords guarding a cage, defeat him.
3. Defeat Guard 3: SPOILER: Right after you battle Nadia's father as Aidan you will have a chance to save and whatever before the final boss battle. Once this happens head back from where you came to find this guard right past the cage with the prisoner that you have hopefully freed by now.
4. Defeat Guard 4: SPOILER: Right after you battle Nadia's father as Aidan you will have a chance to save and whatever before the final boss battle. Once this happens head back from where you came to find this guard right past the cage with the prisoner that you have hopefully freed by now. Once you defeat his guard keep heading down the tower one more section to find this guard.
Achievement should unlock after the Epilogue and the credits start
|Legend of Battles
|Reach Level 10 in online multiplayer mode
You gain levels online by collecting experience, which you get when you win, but less when you lose. Your winning streak also has a big effect on amount of exp gained per game, but you can get to level 10 by constantly losing games.
You can boost all 3 online achievements. Go to the achievement trading thread HERE to find fellow boosters.
They they can all be done without boosting.
See Team Player achievement description for tips.
|Online Hero
|Win a battle in 1 vs. 1 online mode
Just win one battle. This achievement also unlocks if your opponent quits out once the match begins.
See Team Player achievement description for tips.
|Bounty Hunter
|Complete all bounty side quests
This is throughout the entire game, over the course of the 5 campaigns, not just one campaign.
See THIS thread for the bounty quest guide.
Helpful hint You can find the exact location of a bounty that you are in the area of by going to your map, scrolling down to your bounty, and looking for a hi-lighted bag with a dollar sign on it. You can only see the exact locations of bounties you are in the area of.
|Collect 'em All!
|Unlock all special units
In each campaign you will have the following units:
Guide for Special Units:
|Fusion Fanatic
|Triple fuse an attack formation in battle
See Sir-Links-a-Lot achievement description for a step by step guide.
|Treasure Hunter
|Collect all artifacts of each single player campaign
General Tips
Go HERE for the in depth artifact guide.
|Unstoppable Army
|Reach a Hero level of 10 and max out all units to level 5 in any Campaign
At the end of the Holy Griffin Empire campaign I had 2 special units at level 5, one at 4, one at 3, and one at 2, as well as all basic units at level 5. Then I went to the Sword Master buying station (far right area, upper right corner, behind Sir Randy in a statue) to level up, enemies attack as you walk around. The enemies are around level 8, but net 450 exp and about 1000 gold.
Basically build as many spearmen as you can first turn, second and third turn focus on fusing spearmen formations. There usually isn't a fourth turn, but rinse and repeat if necessary.
|Young Hero
|Win a battle in the Sylvan campaign
The Sylvan campaign is the first campaign you do, so this should be the first campaign achievement you unlock. Tutorial does not count.
|Create a link of 5+ formations in battle
Note: If you do not have a second controller you can boost these online as well
|Skilled Strategist
|Complete all Battle Puzzles in each Campaign
Battle Puzzles are battles where you are given one turn (3 moves) and you have to kill all of the enemy units. For every single puzzle you will need more than 3 moves, so combos are your best friend.
|Team Player
|Win a battle in 2 vs. 2 online COOP mode
Simple, win a game in 2 vs. 2 online multiplayer.
Player 2 (winner)
The point of this setup is that Player 1 will only have 25 health and Player 2 will attack fast. Player 1 should delete as many units as possible in whatever columns Player 2 tells him/her. This makes it so Player 2 can attack quickly, and efficiently. This should maybe take 3 turns if you get lucky from the start.
|DLC: I Am the Boss

Hey Guys!
I am wondering if you have received an email saying that "Your file was appearing in multiple warez sites and for a fee of $49, your items will be removed from all warez sites and the same could be done in 72 hours. However, they need your Personal info, Physical Address and phone no.
Anyone tried this? Is it legit?
This is pure scam my friend. Don't fall for it and trow it in the bin.
Why do they need all these info? Delete.
Hi good morning,
i think is not a scam, I have received a similar email about one of my files. I have checked the links and my file is there. There is a lot files from other users.
They need all your personal information because I guess they send DMCAs, and this information is necessary to send a DMCA . I usually send my own DMCAs and not give my information to anyone.
Sherman if you have an username please report it to support.
The person who sends the emails through GraphicRiver profiles, simply offers its services to send the DMCAs for you.
But you may never know if this person put the files there in the first place. You better don't trust him and send out the DCMA by yourself.
Bebel said
But you may never know if this person put the files there in the first place. You better don't trust him and send out the DCMA by yourself.
Yes, I know that. Yoy have to be very careful.
If someone wants to know which page is, send me an email from my profile. Maybe there will be something of you there.
Scam in my opinion, that person could deliberate put your scripts on the web, and then offer his services to remove them, DMCA is really slow when comes for such things, and requires a lot of personal informations from YOU the author, not from someone from the web, so again, I strongly believe it's a scam.
Best option? Fill the complains by yourself to DMCA (as I do), and wait for a response, usually it's a positive one.

Ripsi ReaModel Female Boston, Massachusetts, US
My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/ripsirea
Mayhem # 611369
About Me
Lindsey is my real name. I am a college graduate with a BS in psychology. Right now, I am just drifting and dabbling. Modeling, at this point, is only worth it if you have fun doing it. I am thrilled to work with a photographer with direction and prospect for great, unique pictures. A sense of humor and a personality would be extremely beneficial to the chemistry of the pictures. If I am not having fun, you can usually tell. I love laughing, and this is just about experiencing and constructing pictures that make you feel.
I've been on this site for a hefty amount of time, and honestly, I feel like the value of photography has been trampled on. The longer I am on this site, the more amateur the pictures became. I understand if you are first starting out, but when there is no progression...I don't understand the point of being here. I am all about becoming better, even though this is all in fun, and the day I take a step backwards will be when I delete my profile.
The best way to contact me would be to just send me a message through MM. I am available for shooting if there is minimal traveling for me, and I am currently located on Cape Cod. Pretty flexible as of right now.

Welcome from the Artistic Director and Managing Director
We're excited to have you with us as we set the stage for a season of massive humanity. At PCPA we remain passionately engaged with the work of today even as we lift our eyes to the future. As a conservatory theatre we have a singular commitment to excellence, manifest in a dual form – stellar artistry created for our community today and a great investment in training the artist for the future. Reveling in and revealing what's happening today, while shaping and sharpening ourselves for tomorrow.
This season at PCPA we'll share great stories about how we identify what's really important in our own lives and in our connection to others. The things that matter in the ties of family and faith that bind, our ubiquitous problems and universal hopes, our world shaking words and the love for which we'd risk everything. If our stories and our connection to one another doesn't matter – what matters? What could matter more than understanding ourselves, our family, our community, our world and then translating that apprehension and empathy into connection and positive action? Figuring that out, imagining how to do it, is part of what makes the reflective power of art so important in our individual and corporate lives. We think you'll get glimpses of that on the stage today.
How can we hope to know, respect, value and support one another if we don't hear each other's stories? We're excited to use art as a bridge that can create a real avenue across our otherwise inherent ignorance of one another's beauty, struggles and hopes. This season we hope to expand our circle and venture into deeper connections that we can rehearse in the theatre and play out in the world – seeing, knowing, loving. Massive humanity, that's what it's all about.
PCPA dedicates this season to the incomparable advocacy and generosity of Royce Lewellen. His support and leadership for the theatre's important role in the Central Coast community and his significant role in the creation of the PCPA Foundation's organization and endowment fund, have exemplified his vision of sustaining Pacific Conservatory Theatre in perpetuity. In gratitude for his four decades of unswerving support, all of us who work on the stage or behind the scenes dedicate our work this season to his honor.

Mission Statement
PCPA is a professional conservatory theatre, committed to reflecting and transforming our diverse community with the art of live theatre.
We believe that the theater has a vital role and responsibility in the community to enrich cultural literacy and improve the quality of life.
We commit to serving our current audience, cultivating our future audience and training the next generation of theatre professionals.
We aspire to adhere to the best theatrical traditions and to set new standards of excellent artistry, ethics, and professional practice for the future of the theatre.

Dave Spencer Is In BIG Trouble! [VIDEO]
While sitting at my desk yesterday afternoon, I saw a flash of light fly by my door. Ok, maybe not a flash, but nonetheless… There he was, in all of his 6 ft 5 inches of bike-riding glory, Dave Spencer, cruising thru the hallways of the station on the worlds biggest bike.
While, I momentarily got distracted by the enormous bike, I quickly realized he was missing something very, very important. As any good mother would do, I then had a "come-to-Jesus" talk with Mr. Spencer.
Take a look for yourself and see how that went…
So, maybe he's at least tried to find a helmet. Y'all let him know where to find a helmet for that big ole head of his, ha!

Introducing my Boxer to a Kitten, what is the best way?
I have a 4yr Boxer and I am looking to get a little companion for her. We have had a cat before, I took in a stray cat right before I got Penny and they did real well (sadly I had to give her to a family that had a yard and was out of the city so she could go outside, she hated being inside)Anyway. Penny and I also go to my dad's house where he has a "few" cats and Penny does well there too. Both instances the cats where there first. Now it is the opposite. It has just been Penny for a while and I want to make sure I bring in a kitten right. This kitten is 10 weeks old and already has experiences with dogs and from what I am told does great with them. Getting one from a family member who is moving and can't take them to their new place. Any tips would be appreciated!!!!!

Introducing a new cat to a house dog can be difficult. Start by having the kitten to be familiar with your home. You can place your pets in separate rooms and feed them separately. Later on, you can move their bowls each day increasing the "closeness or nearness" of their food bowls. But make sure your dog is on leash. It would be long before they become accustomed to each other so you need to be patient.

I dont know if I would put their food bowls anywhere near each other. Just to be on the safe side. My 2 Huskies are great with my 2 cats but I dont feed them in the same room, the cats eat upstairs and the dogs, down. Always make sure your kitty has a place to go.....sort of an escape rout. I wouldn't leave them alone together either, when you go out, if your dog is not in a crate I would keep the kitten in a bedroom till your back. Dont force them on each other, and please make sure and keep a close eye on all interactions

what worked for me was dog in kennel .
cat in kennel next to dog at bed time .
if they are sleeping near each other in the morning problem solved . if not let dog out for people time then back in kennel for cat and people time . repeat as necessary ever day until they learn . i tried this for a month the cat did not like dog . cat went to new home . the dog was here first . new cat the training took three day . they sleep together in dogs apartment at night.
good luck
