The Nasdaq 100 index is up about 7% so far, well above the 4.6% rise in the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
Strong earnings last week from Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC), Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) and International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) have drawn still more attention to tech stocks.
But while tech stocks may look tempting right now, knowing which tech stocks to avoid will prevent a lot of pain to your portfolio in 2012.
So here are five tech stocks you should avoid, at least for now.
Five Tech Stocks to Avoid
Research in Motion Ltd. (Nasdaq: RIMM) - Though smart phones in general are doing well right now, the Blackberry is falling seriously behind the competition from Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) and those running Google Inc.'s (Nasdaq: GOOG) Droid OS. Here's a statistic that says it all: General Electric (NYSE: GE) execs essentially had no iPhones in the corporate lineup as recently as three years ago. Today they have 10,000. That's still well below the 50,000 Blackberries in use. But I predict the trend toward Apple will continue as users replace their legacy phones.
RIMM is off nearly 73% over the past year, while Apple shares have gained 25%. And just yesterday (Monday) its co-CEOs, Jim BalsillieandMike Lazaridis, stepped down. Investors were not encouraged when new CEO Thorsten Heins said he doesn't believe drastic changes are needed.
Research in Motion does have a clean balance sheet, so turnaround investors may want to take a plunge. But as a high-tech play, the company looks to tread water at best in 2012.
One more red flag: RIMM has estimated 2012 sales and earnings below consensus forecasts.
Hewlett-Packard Co. (Nasdaq: HPQ) - The storied computer maker has two main obstacles to overcome this year. At the top of the list is the slowdown in computer sales. According to data from research firm Gartner Inc. (Nasdaq: IT), the PC market actually shrank 1.4% in the December quarter from a year earlier. Add to that the sudden burst in tablet sales, and you can quickly see a combination of weak revenue and lower profit margins ahead for H-P.
H-P also suffers from a self-inflicted wound. Former CEO Leo Apotheker last year announced Hewlett-Packard would exit the PC market altogether, one of the main reasons he was ousted. But the damage remains. H-P's large enterprise clients - companies with several hundred to several thousand users - need to know H-P is in it for the long haul. Otherwise, they'll just buy cheaper PCs and hire a service company instead of relying on H-P's support.
The company still generates a ton of cash flow and has decent returns on equity. But it has $30 billion in debt compared with just $8 billion in cash. By comparison, Google has about $35 billion in net cash. Over the past year, H-P stock has fallen more than 40%.
Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) - Yahoo just can't get its act together. While key executives were napping, Google burst on the scene a decade ago and rewrote the rules of web search and advertising.
Portals like Yahoo never regained their traction. The movement in recent years to social media, where Yahoo remains a laggard, has made matters worse. Carol Bartz of Autodesk Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK) fame came in as CEO and quickly flamed out. And last week we learned co-founder Jerry Yang has left the board. It's a revolving door at the top, which definitely makes Yahoo! a tech stock to avoid.
Orbital Sciences Corp. (NYSE: ORB) - This company has some terrific technology that should help with the New Space Race. But its fortunes are still too dependent on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) direct spending. U.S. President Barack Obama has cancelled a return to the moon that would have helped Orbital in the near term.
Also, NASA had to delay plans for space taxis until 2017. Over the long haul, Orbital looks like it should bounce back as the United States and other governments launch more satellites and robotic vehicles. Moreover, private entrepreneurs will step up commercial space travel over the next few years. But for 2012, Orbital is basically dead money.
Groupon, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRPN) - Groupon set a record last year for an initial public offering (IPO) and had the largest valuation of any Internet company since Google debuted in 2004. But the online deal company has lost significant value and looks to be a loser in 2012.
The Groupon IPO opened at $20 a share and shot up by more than 50% to $31. It then fell below the offer price but has come back to break even. The company continues to lose money and will likely do so for the rest of this year. True, Groupon has plenty of cash in the back and no debt, but you can find much better tech companies out there with stronger cash flow and solid earnings. For 2012, Groupon is a tech stock to avoid.

Secrets Your Testosterone and Muscle Pills
One which went not detected until quite lately.
The primary courses:
Natural Method
Chemical Process
Something to notice about these two approaches, is that although "natural" is generally interchangeable with healthy, because we are working with testosterone, which can be a substance itself, the "chemical process" is no less healthy in relation to the natural method. Muscle pills.

Actually, for a superb healthful lifestyle, both should be joined for greatest effects. Although if you do not have time they are both outstanding choices, and your well-being will be increased by both from where it's now.
Therefore let us get started.
The Natural Choice
These are most of the items when your testosterone is during puberty, in its stature.
Getting plenty
Getting plenty
Growing you amount of sexual activity
Eating well
And usually being adventuresome and energetic
To not stress, the chemical process is is a fast and easy means to boost your testosterone whilst away from home, and equally as healthy.
The only thing you must do with this system is take several nutritional supplements, often.
This can be much like girls taking oestrogen nutritional supplements, which can be essentially for the exact same state in girls.
This works nicely, because as you begin doing more of the things that are natural, your testosterone will increase even farther, and it will create a pleasant cycle of testosterone production.
Something to notice yet about nutritional supplements, is before your testosterone levels are back to normalcy, so do not worry if you are not feeling the effect instantly, it'll take several weeks of taking the.
Once you get the though, you will undoubtedly be feeling more dynamic and rejuvenated.

The Reluctant Baker: 5 Reasons Why I Don't Bake Pies
We have a resident Reluctant Baker around here, and we're going to quote him on the whole business of pie-baking. See, we're in the middle of a Pie Bakeoff, but we know that a lot of you are hesitant to bake pies. So here are our top five reasons to skip the pie in favor of cake, or to buy that pumpkin pie instead of baking it yourself - all courtesy of our resident pie curmudgeon. Can you relate to any of these?
- I don't know how to make a good crust. Crustless pies are for wimps. My crusts burn, sag, and shrink. They are heavy, too greasy, or insubstantial next to the filling. How can something with so few ingredients be so hard? But to make a crustless pie seems, well, like giving up.
- I hate peeling apples. I mean, the work of filling a pie - peeling apples, and roasting pumpkins, and chopping, chopping, chopping. And even after all that...
- Pie filling is gross. Pumpkin pie filling is really gross. It's usually like baby food - all squishy and runny. And pie filling (from a can) isn't even made from pumpkins.
- A pie is more time consuming to make than a cake and less satisfying. A cake? It takes less time to whip up in the KitchenAid - even from scratch. There isn't the one-two whammy of the crust+filling work in a pie.
- And if I did make a pie, how the hell would I transport it all the way to Thanksgiving? My last chocolate pie slopped all over my car trunk and the traces are still there. How am I supposed to get this thing from the oven to the table in one piece?
Can you identify with any of these reasons NOT to make a pie? Or do you have reasons of your own? If so, tell us here.
Now, we just don't agree with most of these; we think that a few good tips, some new recipes, and a bit of practice would be enough to win our Reluctant Baker over to the side of the pie-baker. We'll do our best to address his reasons this month; maybe even our resident pie curmudgeon will be won over in time to bake a pie for the Bakeoff!

(Image: Flickr member paul goyette licensed for use under Creative Commons)
25 Comments
My reasons:
1) My mother makes awesome, AWESOME pie crust with luscious fillings. Why bake my own when hers will be there for the eating? She even has the proper Tupperware for transporting them.
2) My mom didn't actually get around to teaching me how to make a piecrust. Until I corner her on that...
3) Making a roll-out crust makes me psychotic. I tend to swear violently and frighten people.
4) Said crust turns out ok, not awesome.
5) Which leads me back to Reason #1...
I'm too intimidated to make my own crusts. I buy pre-made crusts and then fill them with yummy from-scratch insides.
But being addicted to Pushing Daisies makes me want to make my own pies. Crust and all.
Your pie cooking contest inspired me to make my FIRST (100 per cent-from-scratch) pie last night and, after making my banana cream pie, I now can easily state why I have never made a pie before: there is NO COVERING UP bad execution of a recipe.
Though my crust tasted great, the custard I made was incredibly runny (i.e. looked like a creamy soup).
I'll try again...someday...but my fear of failing again keeps me from wanting to run out and try it all over again any time soon. Here's to getting over it, Foodwoolf.com
I was always terrified to make a pie (my grandma is a pie queen), but my 14-year-old sister makes them all the time, and my sister-in-law, so I was shamed into making my first one this weekend. I picked green tomato.
Apparently, I have pie-crust making my genes, because mine was fantastic! I think did well with the pie crust for the same reason I am bad at making bread. I under-knead bread, and that is exactly the kind of hands-off you seem to need to make a pie crust.
p.s. before anyone suggests no-knead bread: I have made four rock-hard frisbee loaves so far. No dice.
I have to agree with reasons 1-4. I've been known to make an apple pie once in a while, but never with dough from scratch, and I've started making bread and pizza dough from scratch but pies still scare me... Maybe I'll be inspired this month.
I don't have a Kitchen Aid. Period. No pies. I want a pie...
You don't need a KitchenAid to make a pie. They're overrated. (This coming from someone with a Pro6 in her kitchen.) I grew up making pie crust with one. I now use a pastry blender.
Regarding reason number 2...try a blueberry pie. Use frozen blueberries (I like Wyman's), and all you have to do is add sweetener, thickener, flavorings (spices, lemon juice).
I come from a long line of fab pie bakers (no soggy crusts). I have turned vegan so I have begun to experiment making crusts using coconut oil and making raw crusts as well. Check out some of my recipes at: www.testkitchenette.wordpress.com
What is the pie in the photograph?
I'd like to make that.
My reason? My husband doesn't like baked fruit pies, and hates pie crust. That pretty much ensures that I would be eating an entire pie by myself, and that is no good. So, pie does not get made in our house unless we're having guests, and that doesn't happen often. It makes me very sad, as I actually like pie more than cake.
Peeling apples for pie? Unnecessary. Skip it. Still delicious. And more fiber, so you can claim your pie is good for you!
ever seen the movie Waitress with Keri Russell, love all those pies.
I like making pies, so I'm not your target audience, at least for this thread.
But I also hate peeling or otherwise prepping the fruit. Instead, I've had a lot of luck using combinations of frozen prepared fruit (most grocers have a nice selection) and dried fruit (which also absorbs excess juice). The fruits don't have to match.
i love the flavor of pies but don't have the counter space to roll out a decent crust. so i make crumbles instead--and i think i prefer them
@ Reason #3: Canned pumpkin pie filling is indeed gross, but it is not the same as canned 100% pumpkin puree, which is what I use for my pumpkin pies.
@ Reason #5: In my experience, transporting a cake is just as much a PITA as a pie, if not more, if the cake has already been nicely frosted. I just cover the pie loosely with foil and lay it down on the passenger-side floor. Never had a problem.
One of main reasons I enjoy pie is precisely because it is always something prepared and offered to me by someone else who can do it better than I ever could!
I tend not to bake, for a bunch of reasons most of which is if I do I am the only one around to eat it and well, eating a pan of brownies by yourself is not very attractive :)
Pies are so forgiving! I plunged into making them in high school, and they are always appreciated, even if the crust is cracked or the filing a little too runny. A home made pie is just soooo much better than an Entenmann's, so you win no matter what.
Yes, it can be a lot of work, but a food processor (which I only acquired 2 years ago) makes the crust SO easy.
You're cranky about pies. But I can't say that I blame you. Sometimes, my pies turn out so horribly. I DO NOT make my own crusts. And on a similar subject, tarts infuriate I tried to make some mini pecan praline tarts last year. They hardened up so much that when I tried to pop them out, the scalloped edge of the tart dug into my finger so deeply that I thought I'd need stitches. OW. And they were hard like peanut brittle. Grrr to messed up tarts and pies. Grrr!
So I still come to this post and start drooling over that photograph.
I'd really like to know what pie that is up there? Sources, anyone? Any guesses?
I'm starving for that pie over here.
Oh don't be so negative!!! I've been making pies as long as I can remember. But, I hate making cake. I hate trying to get the icing on and then i never even want to eat it. But a pie....mmmm i could eat the whole thing!
They are not that hard! I always do oil pie crust (a.k.a. no-roll). You just mix it up with a wooden spoon and smush it in and then do crumble top. Blueberries are the easiest! No cutting!
The secret to the crust tasting yummy is to use milk instead of water and you have have have to use corn oil. All other oils don't have the right flavor.
Ok there's my deal. I couldn't stand for pie knocking without speaking up! Go pies!
I'm new here, and until this summer was alsopastry phobic. I bought pastry shells when I made pie with the apology that Tenderflake did a better job of it than I could. But, this summer I discovered a fool-proof pastry recipe from Cook's Illustrated made with vodka! Easy to roll out, tender and flaky. Yum. I now make my own pastry and it's much better than Tenderflake! I've since passed the recipe on to friends and they too have had success. Happy baking.
Less whining! More PIE!
Eh, I don't know why making a pie crust would be too hard. The only thing I can think of would be that you make it with some sort of motorized mixer- I don't have one. A pie crust is best with the least amount of mixing. Use a curdlemilk (vinegar + milk) instead of water for that flaky goodness and great flavor.
My method for making pie crust basically does not involve many tools, period. Use clean hands for mixing, which leads to periodic hand washing, but does not lead to overmixing because you can feel when all is incorporated. Then flour everything and don't press down when you roll. Done.
Now if only I could stop screwing up my no-knead breads. I want it fluffy.

Baseball Card Collecting: ok so im a noobBottom of Page
1 to 6 of 6
ok i have a bunch of Cal Ripkin, Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan, and other older cards that when i was a kid thought they were the best players out there, but i see theres no market for any of there cards. im in the process of scanning and posting all my cards so i can get more help. anyway where these players not as good as i thought? someone please lt me know if im crazy.
- CommentAuthorbullin82
- CommentTimeAug 13th 2007 edited
Not crazy at all. Some of the cards may be valuable, some of them may not...it really just depends. All three players have pretty significant followings and a lot of cards are sold for each of them.
- CommentTimeAug 14th 2007
They're Hall of Famers, it's not them, perhaps it's the overproduced cards of the mid/late 80's & early 90's.
- CommentAuthorYukowasnik
- CommentTimeAug 16th 2007
If you you have high grade rookie cards for any of the three - then you'll have yourself nice little collection of cards.
- CommentTimeAug 17th 2007
i have several not mint but close to it cards from the 70's and 80's and yes im still filtering through them all and will soon start the scanning process to show all lol
- CommentAuthorbullin82

Sounds good. Hopefully the pricing information will help you determine which of the cards might be worth sending off to an authenticator.

This recipe is a good one. I add some onion and a few spices to liven it up. You cut the crescent rolls in half to get the 16 servings, I usually use 2 cans because it makes a lot. Originally, I found this recipe on the Pillsbury recipe site but they call them "Donkey Balls". They are good as recipe states but I like to add some spice! This is a good basic recipe!

Zynga expands game lineup with Nokia deal
The social gaming company's 'Draw Something' and 'Poker' are coming to the Asha Touch.
Zynga (ZNGA) and Nokia (NOK) are teaming up to bring two hit games to a new range of devices.
Nokia announced on its official blog Friday that "Draw Something" and "Zynga Poker" will be coming to the Asha Touch later this year.
Zynga, which has acquired more than 300 million monthly active users (MAUs) through the release of Facebook (FB) games like FarmVille and CityVille, first entered the mobile space with the debut of several titles for Apple's (AAPL) iOS platform. Zynga games have since appeared on Google's (GOOG) mobile operating system, Android, as well as Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft (MSFT). (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
In June, Zynga announced several new games, including "The Ville," "Matching With Friends," "Elite Slots," and the company's first real-time multiplayer game, "Bubble Safari."
Despite the announcements, Zynga shares continued to decline. Traders have taken issue with the company's failing business model and lackluster guidance, the latter of which proved to be significantly lower than investors anticipated.
On Aug. 3, Electronic Arts (EA) sued Zynga over the release of "The Ville," alleging that the game borrowed key elements from EA's own Facebook title, "The Sims Social."
Regardless, consumers have not been deterred from playing "The Ville." According to the AppData leaderboard, "The Ville" is currently the No. 1 Facebook game with more than 58 million MAUs. "The Sims Social" comes in at No. 20 with 16.5 million MAUs.
Despite the success of Zynga's games, investors remain concerned about the company's future. This concern was heightened when Amazon (AMZN) announced it was launching a new development studio to design games for social networks. Amazon's first title, "Living Classics," is being viewed as a unique-but-flawed hidden object game. At the same time, Zynga's games are typically referred to as flawed clones of other products.
Zynga made a few significant hires in 2011, including Mark Turmell, the creator of two hit games -- "NBA Jam" and "NFL Blitz." This year, however, the company has found it difficult to retain top talent.

What good is being able to control our dreams?
This week in my Bioelectricity class, we discussed electrical stimulation and extracellular fields. We learned about how voltages far away from electrical sources in the body (eg the brain and heart) are directly linked to voltages across cell membranes.
We learned that in 1924, a German physiologist and psychiatrist Hans Berger recorded the first human electroencephalogram (EEG). From our discussion in class, it was evident that EEG activity for awake humans is quite similar to EEG activity during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. An intriguing correlation arrises as lucid dreaming, the act of controlling ones dreams or at least being aware of dreaming, occurs during the REM cycle of sleep.
My question is what does controlling our dreams mean to us as humans? Beyond treating those who suffer from night terrors, is there some correlation between the ability to control our dreams and having more control of our brains during our awake phase? Since people are able to "teach" themselves to lucid dream, does that mean we can use our brains in other ways that we don't yet know of? Or should we allow our dreams to remain "free..."
We can even talk about different forms of dreaming. Shilo Shiv Suleman shows in her INK talk (http://www.ted.com/talks/shilo_shiv_suleman_using_tech_to_enable_dreaming.html) an iPad app that enables the user to enter a fantasy world of dreaming. She says that this form of dreaming is missing from todays youth.
In Daniel Wopert's "The Real Reason for Brains" he says that brains exist solely to control movement. Does this mean that dreaming has no meaning? (http://www.ted.com/talks/daniel_wolpert_the_real_reason_for_brains.html)
Lastly, we can even ask what exists between the lines of dreaming and consciousness? Antonio Damasio shines light into this question in his TED talk "The Quest To Understand Consciousness" by looking at the living brain. (http://www.ted.com/talks/antonio_damasio_the_quest_to_understand_consciousness.html)

Kyung LeeApr 1 2013: Hi Jonathan,
I remember reading about dreams as randomly chosen memories in our brains. So if we think about certain things for a longer period of time, they are more likely to appear in our dreams. Exploring what/how we dream can be valuable in the sense that it helps us understand our brain better. Control of dreams will require extensive understanding of how our brain works, and it will definitely be of our advantage to be able to do so.
Apr 1 2013: Hi Kyung!
I completely agree with you! Dreams allow a passage into one's subconscious mind. What we learn and retain during the daytime, manifests themselves in our dreams. This must mean that our brains reprocess information that we collected during the day. "I'll sleep on it" is a very common saying for those that need more time and a clearer mind to make a decision or understand a concept. Similarly, it is said that if you read before bed, or review a to-do list for the next day, you will wake up the next morning with a clearer, more organized thought process. Therefore, a lot happens in our brains while we rest!
Being able to interpret and control our dreams opens a doorway into understanding in more detail, how the brain retains, processes and organizes information, even how to help those that have problems with retention or processing, like Alzheimer's and autism patients, and people with ADD/ADHD or learning disabilities. Understanding how their brains work differently or similarly helps get us closer to developing greater medicine and providing people with the faith and reassurance that everyone is equally equipped and capable to do great things.

This is the second video from the MOV guys. Im my opinion they make some of the most high quality skim stuff out there. They also have a blog that you pay $3 a month for and they release videos you can only see there. It's really an awesome idea and im more then happy to give them my $3. Can't wait for this full length to drop. Looks EPIC.
I know I'm a bit late on this one but I wanted to just leave up Snow's edit for as long as possible. Gabriel is one of the few dudes out there that can make blading looking good. Always enjoy his stuff, good choice Brian and Hakeem.
Last weeks Friday's Fail of the week was about how bad the weather has been lately in SF. It seems like its been raining for days on end with little tiny breaks of amazingness here and there. For instance right now its perfectly sunny out but its pouring down rain. Also check out what good old mother nature did in the back alley at my place. I'm actually kind of worried because they are expecting an earthquake to happen this week, because of recent events like those dead animals in SD. So knock on wood, and now more than ever I really can't wait for that shorts at night weather we have all been missing.

The West Coast of New Zealand's South Island features a wonderful and diverse marine environment.
This forum is run by local people to examine ways to protect our marine habitats and ecosystems on the West Coast.
A wide range of representatives make up the forum, including: community members, fishers, tangata whenua, conservation groups and local authorities.
The forum will discuss the Coast's role in maintaining New Zealand's marine habitats and ecosystems in a healthy, functioning state beyond 2020. Its objective is to implement the Marine Protected Areas Policy by establishing in consultation with communities, some recommendations on a network of Marine Protected Areas for the West Coast.
The forum has now completed its considerations and has presented a recommendation report to the Minsiter of Conservation and Minister of Aquaculture and Fisheries. It undestands that the Ministers are seeking advice from their officials on these recommendations.

I have some pictures that I hadn't uploaded to the site yet.
The first batch is from yet another visit to Kamakura on August 5th; Danny's friends from Israel had arrived and they were going there so I came along. We also met up with Japanese friend of Danny, Aya. In the evening we went to an Izakaya in Shibuya.
Then there's another picture in the "huge insect" series. This time, a 6cm long dragonfly decided to pay my balcony a visit.
And the last two pictures are from last Saturday, when the people from my lab (and some other lab too) organised a beach-barbecue-fireworks party. That was lots of fun. :-)
Appreciate the recommendation. Let me try it out.

Study shows economics of recycling
By Tara Nelson
A study completed by the Bellingham-based RE Store suggests that their "hybrid" method of deconstruction, reuse and recycling can be as – if not more – cost effective as conventional demolition services.
The study was funded by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) given to regional non-profit organizations to study the economic viability of building deconstruction.
Calabro, an environmental protection specialist with the
EPA's northwest regional office in Seattle,
said the grants are offered as part of the EPA's
Resource Conservation Challenge, a program that promotes
energy efficiency and the minimization of construction
"Construction waste and debris is a significant portion of the solid waste stream," Calabro said. "It's obvious that a recycling and reuse program would be better environmentally because those materials would not be going into the landfill but also economically for the consumer who can purchase those materials at a discounted rate."
The RE Store's deconstruction crew used the grant to compile a series of case studies of four Whatcom County buildings, one of which was the former PACCAN building in Blaine.
Jason Darling, RE Store outreach and marketing manager, said the nearly 10,000-foot building located at 183 C Street was chosen as a project because of its size and relatively young age.
The study found that approximately 70 percent of the building was salvageable and contained almost 50,000 pounds of reusable material, which included high-quality plywood, lumber, aluminum doors and windows.
"The lumber we got out of the PACCAN was just amazing," he said. "Every piece was as straight and true as you could possibly dream of. We also got a lot of insulation that we were able to resell."
In addition,
crews found a number of large metal desks and office chairs
left behind from previous tenants that could easily be
reused or recycled.
The total value of building materials salvaged from the PACCAN building was approximately $8,500, the study found. The materials were transported to the RE Store's retail outlet in Bellingham for resale.
Out of the four total projects, RE Store deconstruction crews dismantled approximately 13,625 square feet of building, salvaging an estimated $28,000 worth of reusable materials and saving approximately 244,000 pounds of materials from being disposed of in a landfill, according to the study.
The cost of the RE Store's deconstruction service with disposal fees for the PACCAN building was $10,228, compared to two quotes from conventional demolition firms of $9,850 and $10,500.
Part of that cost difference can be recouped through tax incentives, Darling said.
"The RE Store, because of its status as a non-profit, is also able to offer our clients the added benefit of a tax deduction for the total value of their donation of salvaged building materials," he said, adding that one of his clients recently reported he broke even.
Darling, however, said many of the RE Store's customers are considering other, non-economic factors when making the decision to shop at the business's retail outlet or hire its deconstruction services.
"More of our customers see the value in being an environmental steward," he said. "They see the value beyond just the immediacy of here and now. It's called voting with your dollar."
Erin Marden, manager of the store's deconstruction division, said those non-economic factors include less noise pollution on surrounding neighborhoods, reducing the need to manufacture new building materials, and the often unique character of re-used materials that can add novelty and distinction to a home.
"(One of the benefits) is the vast factors of the resources saved and toxins never produced, by reducing the need to make new materials," Marden said. "The amounts of intense energy and toxic compounds are immense in the manufacture of building materials. The deconstruction process takes longer, but has less impact."
Darling said part of the RE Store's mission as a non-profit organization is to conduct research and that the information found in the study will be sent to regional and industry-wide publications in construction, demolition and recycling fields.
"It feels really good to be contributing to the growing body of statistical evidence that supports the viability of what we're doing," he said.
RE Store is located at 600 West Holly Street in Bellingham
and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday through Saturday and from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. They
can be reached by calling 647-5921.
The store's second annual Rockin' at the RE Store fundraiser is scheduled from 6 to 10 p.m. September 15.
event is to help raise a down payment for the store's
new location and will
include music, food, games and auction.
