The Tuileries Palace (French: Palais des Tuileries, IPA: [palɛ de tɥilʁi]) was a royal and imperial palace in Paris which stood on the right bank of the River Seine. It was the usual Parisian residence of most French monarchs, from Henry IV to Napoleon III, until it was destroyed in the upheaval of the Paris Commune in 1871.
Built in 1564, it was gradually extended until it closed off the western end of the Louvre courtyard and displayed an immense façade of 266 metres. Since the destruction of the Tuileries, the Louvre courtyard has remained open and the site is now the location of the eastern end of the Tuileries Garden (French: Jardin des Tuileries), forming an elevated terrace between the Place du Carrousel and the gardens proper.
After the death of Henry II of France in 1559, his widow Catherine de' Medici (1519–1589) planned a new palace. She began building the palace of Tuileries in 1564, using architect Philibert de l'Orme. The name derives from the tile kilns or tuileries which had previously occupied the site. The palace was formed by a range of long, narrow buildings with high rooves that enclosed one major and two minor courtyards. The building was greatly enlarged in the 17th century, so that the southeast corner of the Tuileries joined the Louvre Palace.
Louis XIV[edit]
Louis XIV resided at the Tuileries Palace while Versailles was under construction. His gardener, André Le Nôtre, designed and laid out parterres for the Tuileries gardens in 1664, but when the king left Paris, the building was virtually abandoned. It was used only as a theatre, and its gardens became a fashionable resort of Parisians.
Louis XV[edit]
The boy-king Louis XV was moved from Versailles to the Tuileries Palace on 1 January 1716, four months after ascending to the throne. He moved back to Versailles on 15 June 1722, three months before his coronation. Both moves were made at the behest of the Regent, the duc d'Orléans. The king also resided at the Tuileries for short periods during the 1740s.[1]
Louis XVI[edit]
On 6 October 1789, during the French Revolution, Louis XVI and his family were forced to leave Versailles and brought to the Tuileries where they were kept under surveillance. For the next two years the palace remained the official residence of the king.
On 9 November 1789, the National Constituent Assembly, formerly the Estates-General of 1789, had moved its deliberations from the tennis court at Versailles to the Tuileries, following the removal of the court to Paris. The Tuileries' covered riding ring, the Salle du Manège (which ran along the north end of the Tuileries Gardens to the west of the palace), home to the royal equestrian academy, provided the largest indoor space in the city.
The royal family tried to escape after dark, on 20 June 1791, but were captured at Varennes and brought back to the Tuileries. The following year, on 10 August 1792, the Tuileries were stormed by an armed mob, which overwhelmed and massacred the Swiss Guard as the royal family fled through the gardens and took refuge with the Legislative Assembly.
In November 1792, Armoire de fer incident took place at the Tuileries palace. This was the discovery of a hiding place at the Royal apartments, believed to contain the secret correspondence of Louis XVI with various political figures. The incident created a considerable scandal that served to discredit the King.
Revolutionary France[edit]
The Tuileries accommodated the Constituent Assembly, its successor, the National Convention, and, in 1795, the Council of Five Hundred (Conseil des Cinq-Cents) of the Directoire until the body moved to the Palais-Bourbon in 1798. In 1799, the Jacobin Club du Manège had its headquarters there. The Committee of Public Safety met in the Pavillon de Flore. A courtier of a later era could summon up nightmarish visions of the palace's Salle de Spectacle, or theater, where many Convention sessions were held during the Reign of Terror:
At night a single lamp illumined this huge deserted hall, peopled with terrible memories. These I would often muse over as I stopped at the spot once occupied by the chair of the president, where Boissy d'Anglas had saluted the bleeding head of Feraud, and where Thuriot had listened impassively to the outburst of Robespierre at bay: "President of assassins, once more I ask your ear !" I saw in imagination the "Mountain," the "Plain," the "Marsh," and the crowded tribunes; I fancied I could hear the shrieking clamour of the "tricoteuses" and the drums of the "sections" hastening to the attack or to the rescue of the Assembly; and I would call up one or other of the acts of the mighty drama of which this sinister hall has been the scene.
— Augustin Filon, Recollections of the Empress Eugénie, pp. 126-7
When Napoleon Bonaparte came into power in 1799, he made the Tuileries the official residence of the First Consul and, later, the imperial palace. In 1808, Napoleon began constructing the northern gallery which also connected to the Louvre, enclosing a vast square (place).
As Napoleon I's chief residence, the Tuileries Palace was redecorated in the Neoclassical Empire style by Percier and Fontaine and some of the best known architects, designers, and furniture makers of the day.
In 1809, Jacob-Desmalter, principal supplier of furniture to the Emperor, began work on a jewel cabinet designed for the Empress Joséphine's great bedroom in the Tuileries (and soon to be used by Marie-Louise). Designed by the architect Charles Percier, this impressive piece of furniture was embellished with several gilt-bronze ornaments: the central panel depicts the "Birth of the Queen of the Earth to whom Cupids and Goddesses hasten with their Offerings" by the bronzier Pierre-Philippe Thomire, after a bas-relief by Chaudet. Jacob-Desmalter completed the "great jewelry box" in 1812, with two smaller items of furniture in the same style but using woods from rainforests in China.
After Napoléon's divorce, Pierre Paul Prud'hon was commissioned to design the apartments of his new wife, Marie-Louise. For the bridal suite of the new Empress he designed all the furniture and interior decorations in a Greek Revival style.
The Tuileries Palace became the royal residence at the time of the Bourbon Restoration from 1814 to 1830. During the July Revolution of 1830, the palace was attacked for a third time by an armed mob and occupied. The Swiss Guards stationed at the palace, aware of what had happened in 1792 to their predecessors, abandoned the palace. King Louis Philippe I took up permanent residence there until 1848, when it was again invaded on 24 February.
After the coup d'état by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte in 1852, the Tuileries Palace served as the official residence of the executive branch of government, and when President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte became Emperor Napoléon III, he moved from his office at the Élysée Palace to the Tuileries.
The Second Empire[edit]
During the Second Empire, the Tuileries was extensively refurbished and redecorated after the looting and damage that occurred during the Revolution of 1848. Some imposing state rooms were designed and richly decorated, serving as the center stage of the ceremonies and pageantry of the Second Empire, such as on the occasion of Queen Victoria's state visit to France in 1855. The Second Empire also completed the northern wing of the Louvre along the rue de Rivoli, linking the Tuileries Palace with the rest of the Louvre, and thus finally achieving the huge complex of the Louvre-Tuileries, whose master plan had been envisioned three centuries earlier.
The prominent roof-lines of the palace and especially its squared central dome were influential prototypes in the Second Empire style adopted for hotels and commercial buildings as well as residences in the United Kingdom and North America.
The private apartment used by Napoleon III, on the garden side of the ground floor of the southern wing of the palace, consisted of "overheated gilt boxes furnished in the style of the First Empire", being kept at "an excessively high temperature" by the emperor. Empress Eugénie had her apartment above, connected to the emperor's by a winding staircase, with a mezzanine occupied by the treasurer of the privy purse in between, and comprising eight of the eleven rooms on the bel etage of the southern wing's garden side. This arrangement at the Tuileries was unlike at Versailles, where the apartments of monarch and consort were both on the same floor and the king's was the grander of the two. [2]
The state rooms - on the Carrousel, or east, side - of the south wing were used variously depending on the occasion. If it were an informal dinner, the household would gather in the Private Drawing Room, or Salon d'Apollon, which was separated from the Salle de Maréchaux, in the central pavilion, by the First Consul's Room, or Salon Blanc. The party would proceed through the throne room to dinner in the Salon Louis XIV. However, gala dinners were held in the larger Galerie de Diane, the southernmost of the state apartments. If it were a state ball then refreshments would be set up in the Galerie and the procession of the imperial party would be from there to the Salle de Maréchaux - occupying the space of two entire floors of the central Pavillon de L'Horloge - which was the ballroom. [2]
The little-used northern wing of the palace, which contained the chapel, Galerie de la Paix, and the Salle de Spectacle would be called into service only for performances, such as the Auber cantata performed the evening of Napoleon and Eugénie's civil wedding ceremony, July 29th, 1853, [3] or for the most important fêtes, such as the party given for sovereigns attending the International Exposition on June 10, 1867. The Salle de Spectacle was also used as a hospital during the Franco-Prussian War. [4]
The southernmost pavilion, the Pavillon de Flore, served as the backstairs to the palace. Service corridors led to it. One could get from there to the sprawling basement, lit with innumerable gas lamps, where a railway had been set up to bring food from the kitchens under the Rue de Rivoli. [5]
Destruction of the Tuileries[edit]
The finalization of the long planned Louvre-Tuileries complex was not to happen. On 23 May 1871, during the suppression of the Paris Commune, 12 men under the orders of a Communard, Dardelle, set the Tuileries on fire at 7 p.m., using petroleum, liquid tar and turpentine. The fire lasted 48 hours and thoroughly gutted the palace, except for the southernmost part, the Pavillon de Flore[6] (the gate of honor, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, also remains, as well as the foundation[7]). The dome itself was blown up by explosives placed in the central pavilion and detonated by the converging fires. Observing this, Bergeret sent a note to the Committee of Public Safety: 'The last vestiges of Royalty have just disappeared. I wish that the same may befall all the public buildings of Paris'[8] It was only on 25 May that the Paris fire brigades and the 26th battalion of the Chasseurs d'Afrique managed to put out the fire. The library and other portions of the Louvre were also set on fire by Communards and entirely destroyed. The museum itself was only miraculously saved.
The ruins of the Tuileries stood on the site for 11 years. Although the roofs and the inside of the palace had been utterly destroyed by the fire, the stone shell of the palace remained intact and restoration was possible. Other monuments of Paris also set on fire by Communards, such as the City Hall, were rebuilt in the 1870s. After much hesitation, the Third Republic eventually decided not to restore the ruins of the Tuileries, which had become a symbol of the former royal and imperial regimes. However, the portions of the Louvre that had also been destroyed by fire were rebuilt in their original style.
In 1882, the French National Assembly voted for the demolition of the ruins, which were sold to a private entrepreneur for the sum of 33,300 gold francs (approximately US$130,000 in 2005), despite the protests of Baron Haussmann and other members of French artistic and architectural circles, who opposed what they thought was a crime against French arts and history. The demolition was started in February 1883 and completed on 30 September 1883. Bits of stone and marble from the palace were sold by a private entrepreneur as souvenirs, and even to build a castle in Corsica, near Ajaccio, the château de la Punta,[9] which is essentially a reconstruction of the Pavillon de Bullant. The courtyard pediment of the central pavilion can be seen in Paris' Georges Cain square, some courtyard is in the garden of the Trocadero. Other pieces are in the Louvre, the Museum of Decorative Arts, and at schools of architecture, fine arts, and bridges and roads.[10]
Tuileries Garden and the Axe historique[edit]
When the large empty space between the northern and southern wings of the Louvre now familiar to modern visitors was revealed in 1883, for the first time the Louvre courtyard opened into an unbroken Axe historique. The Tuileries Garden (French: Jardin des Tuileries) is surrounded by the Louvre (to the east), the Seine (to the south), the Place de la Concorde (to the west) and the Rue de Rivoli (to the north).
The straight line which runs through the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe to La Défense was originally centred on the façade of the Tuileries, a similar line leading across the entrance court of the Louvre. As the two façades were placed at slightly differing angles, this has resulted in a slight 'kink' on the site of the palace a feature ultimately dictated by the curved course of the River Seine.
Tuileries Garden[edit]
The Tuileries Garden covers about 63 acres (25 hectares) and still closely follows a design laid out by the royal landscape architect André Le Nôtre in 1664. His spacious formal garden plan drew out the perspective from the reflecting pools one to the other in an unbroken vista along a central axis from the west façade, which has been extended as the Axe historique.
The Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume is a museum of contemporary art located in the northwest corner of the gardens.
Rebuilding the Tuileries[edit]
Since 2003, the Comité national pour la reconstruction des Tuileries[11][12] has been proposing to rebuild the Tuileries Palace. This effort is similar to the proposal of reconstruction of the Berliner Stadtschloss (Berlin City Palace). There are several reasons for rebuilding the Palace of the Tuileries. Ever since the destruction of 1883, the famous perspective of the Champs-Élysées, which ended on the majestic façade of the Tuileries Palace, now ends at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, formerly centered on the Tuileries but now occupying a large empty space. The Louvre, with its pyramid on the one hand, and the Axe historique of the Place de la Concorde-Champs-Élysées-Arc de Triomphe on the other, are not aligned on the same axis.
The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel fortuitously stands near the intersection of the two axes. The Palace of the Tuileries, which was located at the junction of these two diverging axes, helped to disguise this bending of the axes. Architects argue that the rebuilding of the Tuileries would allow the re-establishment of the harmony of these two different axes. The Tuileries Gardens would also recover their purpose, which was to be a palace garden.
Also, it is emphasized that the Musée du Louvre needs to expand its ground plan to properly display all its collections, and if the Tuileries Palace were rebuilt the Louvre could expand into the rebuilt palace. It is also proposed to rebuild the state apartments of the Second Empire as they stood in 1871. All the plans of the palace and many photographs are stored at the Archives nationales. Furthermore, all the furniture and paintings from the palace survived the 1871 fire because they had been removed in 1870 at the start of the Franco-Prussian War and stored in secure locations.
Today, the furniture and paintings are still deposited in storehouses and not on public display due to the lack of space in the Louvre. It is argued that recreating the state apartments of the Tuileries would allow the display of these treasures of the Second Empire style which are currently hidden.
In 2006 a rebuilding of the Palace of the Tuileries was estimated to cost 300 million euros (US$ 380 million). The plan was to finance the project by public subscription with the work being undertaken by a private foundation, with the French government spending no money on the project. The French president at that time, Jacques Chirac, called for a debate on the subject. Former president Charles de Gaulle had also supported reconstruction, saying that it would "make a jewel of the center of Paris."[7]

Cuban designer Isabel Toledo sticks to her roots
By Joy Sewing : June 20, 2012 : Updated: June 20, 2012 2:33pm
There are many pivotal moments in Isabel Toledo's nearly 30-year journey as a fashion designer.
Creating the 2009 inaugural outfit for first lady Michelle Obama was one.
Obama wore Toledo's lemon-grass yellow Swiss wool-lace shift dress with matching overcoat. The garment appeared to magically change intensity as light reflected on it, leaving viewers with different interpretations of the color.
For the Cuban-born designer who had yet to received the accolades of more well-known designers with major financial support, the day changed her life.
"Thank God for Michelle Obama," Toledo said during a phone interview. "She picked out that outfit but could have gone with anyone else. As an independent designer, that I was able to create something for that moment in history was incredible."
Obama had previously bought Toledo's designs from Ikram, a Chicago boutique that sells clothes by Narciso Rodriguez and Maria Cornejo, other Obama favorites.
Since Inauguration Day, Toledo has expanded her brand into an affordable line of shoes at Payless ShoeSource, with styles all retailing for less than $40. It launched in 2010. Her ready-to-wear collections are sold at Nordstrom.
Toledo also is a voice for independent designers who create and produce collections entirely in the U.S. and without the support of financial investors. She talks about her journey in her memoir, "Roots of Style: Weaving Together Life, Love and Fashion" (Celebra, $25.95).
"I don't give tips in the book," she said. "It wasn't about writing a story but reflecting on a story. I don't have the money, the backing or even the name. I wanted to tell kids there's another way other than 'Project Runway.' "
In her book, Toledo describes her early childhood in Camajuani, Las Villas, Cuba, a small town three hours from Havana. She came to the United States at 8 with her family and grew up in West New York, a working-class community of Cuban immigrants. In high school, she met and fell in love with Cuban native Ruben Toledo, a now-famous fashion illustrator and artist who has done a number of ad campaigns for Nordstrom. The couple married in 1984.
Toledo attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons New School of Design, where she studied fashion design, painting and ceramics. She learned to sew as a child, and her work continues to showcase her talent at garment construction.
In 1986, she presented her first collection. Then in 1998, she stopped presenting biannual collections, opting to create collections on her own schedule.
In 2006, Toledo was named creative director of Anne Klein and debuted with Anne Klein at New York Fashion Week in February 2007. She returned to her own label later that year. In 2010, she also designed swimwear for Target's new store in East Harlem. The styles featured her husband's artwork.
"I enjoy the independence," she said. "I make everything in New York. I can't grow easily, so I have to grow carefully. For me to be able to still have a voice is so important. I sell as much as I can possibly produce. I do it slowly."
Toledo employs a staff of 20, and later this year she plans to exhibit her work in Miami's Freedom Tower, where Cuban refugees passed through between 1962 and 1974. Toledo compares the tower to Ellis Island in New York and recalls walking the hallways as a young girl.
Toledo still draws on her Cuban roots for inspiration in each garment she creates.
"I'm always trying to create symbols out of the clothes," Toledo said. "That comes from my Cuban heritage. I think clothes should have meaning. Somehow, I feel that's a very Cuban thing."

My wife tried playing Multiplayer mode and got frustrated so she handed over the controller and within seconds I blew away another player with my AK-47! I was stoked to get an achievement out of it too!

We can now create crew on Rockstar social club. Do you want to create a crew for the people on NHC only?
That would be awesome.
Preordered Max Payne 3. I am so ready. I don't get paid until the Friday after it comes out but I'm not too old to give dad the puppy dog eyes and get what i want, it seems. He knows ill pay him back anyway.
I'm kinda done with Skyrim right now. Put 120 hours in that game, give or take. I should buy a different game.
Maybe I'll buy Silent Hill: Downpour, even though I didn't hear much good about this game. I'm a sucker for horror, and SH seems the way to go at the moment.
Can anyone recommend a kickass 2012-2013 survival horror game? Ofcourse gonna buy GTA V as well.. Can't own a game collection without the newest GTA in it.
Guns don't kill people. Physics kill people!
I'm on right now if anyone wants to play GTA.
Any psp gamers in hurr. That's all I play. Old psx isos and snes roms. Also a few homebrws like mine craft n others.
My 16 gb ms is stocked on my psp!! Ugh I need a 32
Finally, I think I'll buy Max Payne 3 but if I do this, I'll sell COD MW3. How much do you think I can have for it ? I want at least 30 $.
Assassin's Creed III can't come out any quicker....I'm getting so bored with the games I have!
Trading in ffxiii-2 for Max Payne credit. But only because its the 360 version and we wanted it on ps3. That should save me some money for either hitman absolution or some arcade games.
Is anyone else excited for Borderlands 2 or am I the only one?
I loved the first borderlands. My Lilith was modded up crazy. Two second phase recharge. I'm definitely getting the second game after I finish the dlc for the first game.
I was so bummed out because when I played it, I beat the game with Mordecai and sort of got over the game. What bummed me out was that I thought only Mordecai could use guns so I didn't bother with the others to find out that BRICK could use them as well. DAMN IT!
Gonna create the Crews for NHC and B&R later today, so look for a link to join in here sometime today or tomorrow. I gotta get good emblem images to use.
On Rockstar Social Club, like Alexandre was mentioning earlier. They did an overhaul of the Social Club website for it to be more functional and to allow for cross-game Crews.
Your Crew carries over to GTA V. I joined the GameInformer crew earlier.
Also I have another referral contest link...simple as picking one of three options this time!
I'm gonna order The Darkness 2 and NBA 2K12 tonight when I get home. Played the Darkness 2 demo yesterday, and it seemed pretty brutal and bloody. My kinda game, though never really wanted to play the first Darkness. I'm not sure about NBA 2K12, but I heard it's pretty good. I love Basketball, so this games should be enjoyable. Both weren't that expensive, I'm paying around $80 in total. Pretty good deal in my opinion.
I already did the No Homers crew. I invite you Kupo For the crew's logo, it will be good if someone can make one because I'm not really good for that. If someone is interest, just do it and when I will see it on the wall of our crew, I'll be able to put it for the logo
I never played any DMC game. Honestly, I don't even know what the goal is in those games. I know it's dark and the guy you play with is called Dante, I think. But that's it.
Are you saying that Devil May Cry can compare to the brutal violence and horror from Darkness 2 and/or the best Basketball game out today?
I know there's this HD collection out. I'll check some reviews and stuff on these games and maybe I'll but the collection some. Cause if DMC is as bloody and violent as you are possibly suggesting, count me in!
Also though, a deep and great story wouldn't be missed either (like for example Silent Hill). I don't wanna give the impression that I only care for violence and blood in games..
DMC is basically a scrapped Resident Evil game. It's got more survival-horror atmosphere in the first game than most people expect.

BOZEMAN - A man is behind bars accused of pointing a loaded gun at another man at a Belgrade casino over the weekend.
Kevin Ebright, 57, is charged with one count of assault with a weapon and one count of criminal endangerment. He is being held in the Gallatin County Detention Center.
At around 8:22 p.m. Sunday, Belgrade police were called to the Lucky Palms Casino on East Main Street for a report of a disorderly man. When they arrived, they found two men holding down Ebright who still had the .32 caliber semi-automatic pistol clenched in his hand, court papers state. According to court documents, police took the gun, which still had a loaded magazine inserted and a bullet in the chamber of the gun.
The bartender told police that Ebright came into the casino and was being rude to her, called her names and refused to leave. Two other people came over and Ebright began to leave but then came back and began throwing his hands into the air like he was going to fight, the bartender told police.
When he came back, Ebright and another man began punching each other, the man said. He got up and turned around and that's when the man said he heard someone else say that Ebright had a gun. The man turned around and said he saw Ebright pointing the gun at him.
"He was going to shoot me," the man told police.
That man and a second man were able to wrestle Ebright to the ground, while one of them stood on Ebright's right hand, preventing him from moving the gun, court papers state.
Gallatin County Justice Court Judge Bryan Adams set Ebright's bail at $75,000, pointing out that Ebright brought a loaded gun into a bar.
"I do have a concern for the safety of the community because of that," Adams said.
Ebright's preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 15.

I searched but I couldnt find an answer to this Q. Do you have to order online or can you go to a pharmacy and buy the necessary needles and syringes. I'm thinking I'll use 23g to draw and 27 or 28g, 1 inch to inject E3D (not subQ). Are these the right sizes and can I buy the needles and syringes at a pharmacy?
EDIT: Oh yeah this will be for 50mg Cyp.

Orlando Antigua is in his fourth season as an assistant coach with the Wildcats after spending one season with Calipari at Memphis. When he joined the Memphis staff in 2008, the Tigers were the winningest program over a three-year span in NCAA Division I history, recording 104 victories from 2005-08. So what did Antigua do? He helped coach the Tigers to a 33-4 record and a spot in the 2009 NCAA Sweet 16. For the fourth straight season, the Tigers took the regular season and tournament titles, going undefeated in C-USA three of the four years. Prior to his brief stay in Memphis, Antigua worked at his alma mater, Pittsburgh. During his five years at Pitt, he helped lead the Panthers to an overall record of 132-40 (.767 winning percentage) and a Big East Conference mark of 55-27 (.670 winning percentage). Pittsburgh recorded five straight 20-win campaigns and won 10 or more league games five consecutive years. The Panthers had just as much success in the postseason during Antigua's years. The Panthers earned NCAA Tournament bids all five of Antigua's years and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in 2004 and 2007. Antigua's first stint with Pittsburgh was his collegiate playing days from 1991-95. A four-year letterwinner and two-time team captain, Antigua ranks in the top 15 on the Panthers' all-time 3-pointers made (14th with 117 treys), blocked shots (14th with 78 swats) and career 3-point percentage (seventh at 38.6 percent). A 1992 Big East Conference All-Rookie Team pick, Antigua helped lead the Panthers to an 18-16 record and a National Invitation Tournament berth as a freshman. The following year, Antigua's Panthers went 17-11 and earned an NCAA Tournament bid. In 1994, he was named the United States Basketball Writers' Association Most Courageous Athlete, an honor presented annually to the college basketball player who displays courage on and off the court. Antigua graduated from Pittsburgh with a degree in social sciences in December 1995. After graduation, Antigua was selected to play for the world-renowned Harlem Globetrotters, becoming the first player of Latin American descent to play for the squad. Nicknamed "Hurricane" for his dazzling moves, Antigua played with the Globetrotters for seven years until 2002. Antigua also played in the Puerto Rico Superior Basketball League for eight years, and in both 1994-95 and 1997-98, he was a member of the Dominican Republic national team. Because of his dedication to the community, Antigua was named one of the nation's top 100 most influential Hispanic Americans by Hispanic Business magazine. A Dominican Republic native who was raised in Bronx, N.Y., Antigua recovered from a 1988 Halloween incident where he was shot in the head near his left eye. Undeterred by the incident, Antigua quickly returned to the playing court two weeks later and went on to play three seasons at Pittsburgh with the slug in his head. Doctors initially ruled out removing the bullet as being too risky, but Antigua began suffering severe headaches. Antigua's family also went through a period of homelessness. The oldest of three brothers, Antigua was credited with keeping the family together while housing was secured. Fluent in Spanish, Antigua and his wife, Dana, have two children; a son, Orlando Anthony, and a daughter, Olivia. |

Middletown votes budget today
MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS Residents will return to the polls today to vote on a proposed school budget.
Residents can vote from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Middletown Springs Firehouse on a proposed budget of $1,994,899 for fiscal year 2013-14. The budget is an increase of $58,276, or 3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,936,623.
On Town Meeting Day and by a four-vote margin, voters defeated a proposed budget of $1,998,890, which was an increase of $62,267, or 3.2 percent.
Despite the increase in the budget, the tax rate is projected to drop 2 cents, from $1.64 to $1.62, due in part to the towns common level of appraisal rising from 91.2 percent to 95.85 percent.

Recently, I'm finding that my ping will drastically vary depending on which server I'm on. Specifically, I'm generally averaging around 30 for the UK, which is perfectly fine, but bizarrely will average a stable 100+ (not lagging or spiking) for the Netherlands at the same time. I can literally connect to a Netherlands server, see that my ping is a steady 100+, immediately leave and join a UK server to see that my ping is 30.
Edit: I should also mention that occasionally my ping is fine on the Netherlands. I don't believe this problem is exclusive to the Netherlands either, likely other locations as well, but unfortunately I can't state this for sure.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

An international team of experts reported today that evidence linking hormone-mimicking chemicals to human health problems has grown stronger over the past decade, becoming a "global threat" that should be addressed.
The report is a joint effort by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme to give policymakers the latest information on chemicals that alter the hormones of people and wildlife.
Much has changed since 2002 when WHO and the UN released a report that called the evidence linking endocrine-disrupting chemicals to human health impacts "weak."
The panel of 16 scientists from 10 nations in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia found that endocrine-related diseases and disorders are on the rise. There is now "emerging evidence for adverse reproductive outcomes" and "mounting evidence" for effects on thyroids, brains and metabolism, according to the report summary.
"Over the past decade, we know much better that chronic diseases, ones related to the endocrine system, are increasing globally," said Thomas Zoeller, a professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and a co-author of the report.
Such diseases include male reproductive problems, pregnancy complications, certain cancers, obesity and brain development. Many factors can cause such diseases, but the report concludes that given how fast some of these are rising, environmental chemicals are likely playing a role.
Fetuses, babies and young children "are not just little adults" and are the most vulnerable to hormone-altering chemicals since their bodies are still developing, the authors wrote.
Zoeller said the goal of the report is to update world leaders on a topic that is complex and, at times, controversial.
A decade ago the biggest threat was thought to be persistent organic pollutant chemicals – such as DDT and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These chemicals – now banned in the United States -- traveled the globe, persisted in the environment and caused severe population declines in some wildlife species.
Such contaminants still pose a threat. However, less persistent but more ubiquitous chemicals found in everyday products – such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates – now are increasingly linked to human health problems.
"These chemicals are what we call 'pseudo persistent," said Tracey Woodruff, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and a report co-author. "They don't stay in the environment long but people are exposed to them all the time so it's the same effect as if they were persistent."
The report points to previous regulations, such as the 2000 U.S. restrictions on chloropyrifos, as an option to protect people. After the pesticide was banned from residential use, children's blood levels in New York were cut in half within two years. Also, lead bans greatly reduced children's exposure.
To avoid prolonged exposures in the future, the panel reported that perhaps countries should "ban or restrict chemicals in order to reduce exposure early, even when there are significant but incomplete data."
"Frankly, for BPA, the science is done. Flame retardants, phthalates … the science is done," Zoeller said. "We have more than enough information on these chemicals to make the reasonable decision to ban, or at least take steps to limit exposure."
But government agencies and industry groups remain unconvinced.
The American Chemistry Council, which represents chemical companies, has repeatedly questioned the validity of studies linking two of the most pervasive endocrine disruptors -- BPA and phthalates.

The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra
"Arturo O'Farrill's Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra is one of the best jazz orchestras in existence, a powerhouse outfit whose precise section work is enhanced by thrilling soloists." – The New Yorker
"Mr. O'Farrill has honed the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra to handle dizzyingly complex music with earthy joy." – The New York Times
"[T]he Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra [is a] remarkable New York institution." – The New York Times
"If there is such a thing as a first family of Afro-Cuban jazz, the O'Farrill clan has a right to claim that distinction." – The New York Times
"Mr. O'Farrill is a magnificent player... sharp, splashy, and driving." – The New York Times
"The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra sounds great with precision brass and saxophone work…. a warm, cohesive sound…." – The New York Times
"The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra fuels dancing and joy." – The Gilmore Festival
"This is the finest band I have ever performed with in my life. They make me feel as if I have returned to Cuba." – Bebo Valdés
There exists a large and unique repertoire within the big band genre that requires musicians who are knowledgeable about Latin rhythms, clave, and African-based percussion instruments, as well as modern jazz and swing.
Pianist, composer, and educator Arturo O'Farrill founded the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra (ALJO) in 2002 to perform compositions of masters such as Machito, Tito Puente, Chico O'Farrill, Astor Piazzola, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, and others, and to keep this culturally rich tradition alive by continuing to commission new works.
The ALJO performs nationally and internationally to critical acclaim and presents an annual New York performance season at Symphony Space on Manhattan's Upper West Side. In 2009 the orchestra won a GRAMMY Award for Best Latin Jazz Album for its release Song for Chico.
O'Farrill founded the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance (ALJA) in 2007 to serve as a non-profit organization committed to advancing the performance and educational aspects of this uniquely pan-American art form.
We invite you to be a part of our family and learn about our music and tradition.

Polls have now closed to those voting in the Parramatta and Holroyd Council local government elections.
The polling places in the two council areas were open from 8am to 6pm today.
Electoral commission workers will now start counting ballots and some results should be available from this evening.
Some voters expressed a lack of interest in council politics at poll booths in Parramatta central business district.
Many said they only voted to avoid paying the $55 fine for failing to vote.
Council election campaigns in both Parramatta and Holroyd were controversial this time around with candidates being accused of not living in their electorate and participating in improper fundraising events.
More to come.

Encompass Elements Installs Major Differentiator in Scodix
The Scodix S Digital Press is a digital enhancement press that offers a value-added benefit to printed materials by adding tangible dimension and texture
"We could have sent out the postcards with just a picture, because it's a nice picture, but when you add the Scodix to it, it adds a whole new dimension," says Narewski. "It makes the product more realistic with its touch and feel. The glass on the watch looked like glass."
For a new customer, an innovative publisher of comic books and graphic novels, Encompass Elements is creating a few thousand distinctive covers. The hand-drawn artwork on the covers is highlighted with Scodix effects that encourage viewers to touch the raised tactile elements and spend longer admiring the details. One project will be sent to existing customers and the next project will be to create the publication for bookstores so the covers attract attention on bookstore shelves.
"There isn't anything like this out there," enthuses Narewski. "You can't add quite the level of detail or texturing that you can with the Scodix. It really does open up a new look and ability to texture printed products."
Encompass Elements, whose customers include companies in the pharmaceutical, automotive, and financial industries, direct marketing agencies, colleges, and non-profit companies, expects to gain new business with its ability to enhance projects and make them more impactful. "With Scodix, we're looking to expand to high-end packaging," says Narewski. "Scodix will enhance the shelf value of commercial products."
Scannapieco is also enthusiastic about the new technology. "Scodix is an offering that is going to lead us into new revenue streams and increased growth," he concludes. "It is a major differentiator cementing Encompass Element's leadership role in the marketplace."

This topper has completely changed the way my husband and I sleep! We have a 5 year-old, king size, no flip, pillowtop mattress that has desperately needed replacement for the past 2 years. Since it is a no-flip, we have developed 'grooves' in the areas where we both normally sleep. Financially we just have not been able to afford a new mattress. We were so desperate for better sleep, that about 6 months ago we flipped it anyway and had been sleeping on the bottom side! When our mattress pad recently had a dryer incident, we came to Overstock to replace it. For the price of a quality mattress pad, we were able to get this foam topper and a standard mattress pad to cover it. The difference was immediate and dramatic. No more arms/hands falling asleep & tingling at night, no more back aches and most importantly sleeping without waking (or sometimes even changing positions!) for the entire night. Yes, some complain about it being a little warm to sleep on and I would agree. We are both rather 'hot' sleepers as well. However, I honestly have to say that the other benefits FAR out weigh a slightly warmer night's sleep. Buy one now, and give one as a gift to someone you know who looks sleepy!!!
I a very pleased with this matress topper. I find it very comfortable and am sleeping better. I aired it out as instructed and I don't notice any odors. I like that it has the "bumps" that seem to make it cooler. I think you could use it the other way (smooth side up) if desired. I tried a thinner topper before and there is a BIG difference between the inexpensive 2" topper I bought locally and this 3" topper. It feels so much softer and I don't feel like I compress it all the way. My hips and shoulders don't hurt from sleeping anymore. The only problem I have is that my older sheets are not deep enough so I had to use my old elastic corner straps to keep them on. I don't yet know how it will perform over a long period of time but it's looking good...
I was very nervous because the price was so low and the shipping was free and it was 30 plus pounds but I had the best nights sleep I have ever had. I had a feather bed topper before and tossed and turned. I have a Queen size bed and this topper actually makes my bed feel and look bigger. It is so comfortable, I didn't wake up once and woke up before the alarm clock this morning refreshed. The cheapest topper I found anywhere that is 3 inches thick. It stays in place and I can't wait to go back to bed ha ha. The only thing wrong with it is my cat tip toes on it because he's not used to it yet. This made my mattress feel better than brand new. I would highly recommend this product !!!!
I wanted a topper for a 10 yr. old mattress on a king-sized bed to make it more comfortable. It is so sumptuous and large I could hardly get it on the bed. LOL It met all my needs and makes me feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud.
I really like the waffle pattern on the foam. It is not as warm as other foam toppers I have used. Great product for the price.
Bought two of these toppers for our guestroom beds. The mattresses were about 10 years old so wanted to make the beds more comfy. Read the reviews about this product and nobody had anything bad to say and neither do I. It has made such a difference to those mattresses. After taking it out of the packaging it went to its original shape in about 4 hours. There was no smell to it. I am really happy with them and would recommend them especially if you have an older mattress and want to increase the comfort level.
After 10 years of use, our 20 year "warrantied" king size chiropractic pillowtop mattress was starting to get 'grooves' where we each sleep. When we called the company, they said the warranty didn't cover the pillowtop and that that was to be expected... so much for warranties! Sleeping was getting more and more uncomfortable. I decided to check out overstock for a possible inexpensive fix since we weren't ready to plunk down another $1200 for a bed. I saw this mattress topper and decided to give it a try.. It arrived super fast! It's important to let it 'air out' for 6 hours to a day when you first get it. It is made of foam, which is petroleum based so give it time to release any extra gases. When I put it on top of our mattress, I had to trim the corners so the mattress cover would fit well... no big deal. That night, and every night since (6 months ago), it feels like we have a new mattress! I didn't realize how long it had been since we had a deep sleep until we got this topper. Thank you for making this available at a reasonable price!
I ordered this for my daughter`s bed. She loves it. It`s better than a new mattress.
Old mattress was lumpy and created pain to sleep on-THIS topper made it feel like new again and I can SLEEP. Wow, 3" of wonderful foam. Followed directions with item and they worked perfectly-put on mattress the minute it arrived. THANKS SO MUCH!
Only fabulous. Like sleeping on a cloud. If you have a back problem as I do this is the one for you. I sleep more soundly with way less back pain in the a.m. It just takes a couple of days to get used to the odor of the firm and then you're golden.

The survival of the Syrian government represents a major failure of the empire project to recolonize and dominate energy rich Middle Eastern and North African states.
In an abrupt change from months of anticipatory triumphalism, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius admitted that Syrian President Bashar Assad will not be leaving power any time soon. This is a radical departure from the NATO script and that of their stenographers in the corporate media. We've been fed a mix of articles over the past months predicting Assad's imminent demise, filled with speculation on how post-Assad Syria will look after he's gone. (Image)
Reuters reported the Fabius remarks on January 24:
"Things are not moving. The solution that we had hoped for, and by that I mean the fall of Bashar and the arrival of the [opposition] coalition to power, has not happened." Read the rest of this entry »

Robert Louis Stevenson: KidnappedCHAPTER 23. CLUNY'S CAGE (continued)When we came to the door he was seated by his rock chimney, watching a gillie about some cookery. He was mighty plainly habited, with a knitted nightcap drawn over his ears, and smoked a foul cutty pipe. For all that he had the manners of a king, and it was quite a sight to see him rise out of his place to welcome us. "Well, Mr. Stewart, come awa', sir!" said he, "and bring in your friend that as yet I dinna ken the name of." "And how is yourself, Cluny?" said Alan. "I hope ye do brawly, sir. And I am proud to see ye, and to present to ye my friend the Laird of Shaws, Mr. David Balfour." Alan never referred to my estate without a touch of a sneer, when we were alone; but with strangers, he rang the words out like a herald. "Step in by, the both of ye, gentlemen," says Cluny. "I make ye welcome to my house, which is a queer, rude place for certain, but one where I have entertained a royal personage, Mr. Stewart -- ye doubtless ken the personage I have in my eye. We'll take a dram for luck, and as soon as this handless man of mine has the collops ready, we'll dine and take a hand at the cartes as gentlemen should. My life is a bit driegh," says he, pouring out the brandy;" I see little company, and sit and twirl my thumbs, and mind upon a great day that is gone by, and weary for another great day that we all hope will be upon the road. And so here's a toast to ye: The Restoration!" Thereupon we all touched glasses and drank. I am sure I wished no ill to King George; and if he had been there himself in proper person, it's like he would have done as I did. No sooner had I taken out the drain than I felt hugely better, and could look on and listen, still a little mistily perhaps, but no longer with the same groundless horror and distress of mind.

Soap Bubble as a Display Screen
Scientists have developed the world's thinnest screen from soap bubble. This screen can display images whether flat, textured or 3D. This screen has been developed by Yoichi Ochiai from the University of Tokyo.
Although the soap films vary in transparency and reflectance but the scientists have controlled these properties by using ultrasonic sound waves coming out of the speakers to change the surface. They skillfully controlled the texture of an image with the help of a single projector. They showed the video demonstration of different pictures and short videos.
In order to produce 3D effect, scientists combine several screens. A holographic projection has been shown by displaying alternate images on each other. As the film is made up of a mixture of colloids, which are difficult to break, so it is easy to nudge the screen and interact with it.
Alexis Oyama, a member of the team, said that this display could be useful to people such as artists and exhibitors to give an image a realistic feel such as the feeling of the Earth's display in the air as the screen is transparent and this has been shown in the video demonstration. "Museums could display floating planets by using this technology," he says.
The system will be presented at Siggraph 2012, a conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques, in Los Angeles in August.
