Spotlight on Biomanufacturing:
Opportunities and Needs for Value Creation
John Dordick, Howard P. Isermann Professor of Chemical and Biology Engineering and director of the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, talked about a specific area in which advanced manufacturing can change the world: biomanufacturing. Success in biomanufacturing means learning from and improving on the incredible capabilities already found in nature. The biosphere can create everything from the small molecules required for the functioning of cells to single organisms (the fungal mycelia) more than a mile across. "Nature does a remarkable job of biomanufacturing," Dordick said.
A 787 jet and a cell have about the same number of parts, according to Dordick, but biologists still have vast gaps in their knowledge of how cells operate. Nevertheless, people have been learning how to adapt biological processes to human purposes since our distant ancestors began fermenting liquids and drinking them. Biological processes are used to produce fructose, antibiotics, biofuels, industrial chemicals such as acrylamide and isoprenes, and many other products. Furthermore, the discipline known as synthetic biology, through essentially a modular plug-and-play technology analogous to apps for a mobile phone, offers the hope of creating biological factories for a virtually unlimited number of products.
Dordick discussed three opportunities in particular: bionanotechnology, safe biopharmaceuticals, and personalized medicine.
Bionanotechnology brings together nanotechnology, biotechnology, robotic technologies, microscale systems, and nanoscale systems to form hybrid systems with very specific functions. It offers the hope of developing nanoscale science and engineering to produce biomolecular and chemical building blocks and assembling them in a
Seven years ago, MySpace was the hot technology company, not Facebook. Long-standing companies such as Motorola and Hewlett-Packard are in turmoil. In a world characterized by intense competition, rapid exponential improvement, and unlimited opportunities, value needs to be created faster and in ways that customers want.

By far that is the worst tandem.
i think its a valid question. not saying sanchez sucks more then everyone else, or greene does, but you put them all together...and i am not sure i could point out worse.
Kind of reminds me the Ravens in the early to mid 2000's
By far that is the worst tandem.
Easily the worst
Without question
yes everything is the worst.
I think we do, unfortunately. Cleveland, Jacksonville and Miami maybe, but their RBs far surpass ours. I don't know what other team can be thrown in, maybe Seattle, but again, much better running game.
This is a trick question because if you took Sanchez out of the equation and put in almost any starting QB in the NFL on the team the answer would still be YES!!!!!
And that is in itself an an indictement of the Jets FO!!!!!
Terrible on every front.
humpty dump
I like using objective info whenever possible. The Jets are ranked:
30th in passer rating
30th in rushing YPC
28th in receiving YPG
with no team below us in all three categories. So I think that's a yes.
and yet i continue to post to this forum. it's hopeless.
Well you totally forgot to add in the TE's and RB's too.
Yes by far the worst

Hey Warner Bros. / DC... Remember when you guys had Joss Whedon writing Wonder Woman for you and then you trashed it??? I hope that studio exec got fired.
I'm not sure Mr. Trate. I remember Jarred used to post worldwide numbers though. Thats why I brought it up. It was kind of a tradition for him to have that all the big movies listed in order of domestic and worldwide takes. I'm guessing that will start with Avengers? It was also sort of a tradition for the members to try to perdict the summer Box office winners hopefully we get some of that action this year.
Either way I'm happy to see the Box office reports on Sundays. I enjoy reading the comments from our loyal community members. :)
I like the new layout for the Box office report. But can we get worldwide numbers? I know I ask too much. :)
I'm curious as to which movie you guys think will be the worldwide winner this summer?? I'm thinking its going to be Spider-man as long as the reviews arent bad. I would say TDKR but I dont think it has the broad appeal that Spider-man has. I'm unsure about Avengers numbers. It will do well for sure but I still don't believe it will do EPIC numbers. With the exception of Iron Man, the other characters films were lucky to break 200 mill domestically. While I'm sure it will break 200 mill, I'm unsure it will break 300 mill domestically. I don't how that will translate worldwide.
Also, too bad about Lockout's numbers. I was hoping it would at least break the top 5. I guess the days of one-liner packed action movies will not be coming back anytime soon. :(
I miss the weekend box office report. It used to arrive on Sunday evening. Is that coming to and end now??
Definately a Whedon film. Too bad he is a Marvel guy. I'd love to see him do some DC work.
Its Joss Whedon. Everyone dies and the evil survives.
Higgy.... Your a god. I didnt even think about how awesome Fassbender would be for Bond. Then again he would be awesome for anything.
Still say they should have used John Stewart for a Green Lantern movie and had Will Smith play him. Sure the fans would have been upset without Hal but I think it would have appealed to a broader audience.
I for one am a John Stewart fan mostly because I grew up on the Justice League shows. Also, I find that Hal Jordan is a boring character.
I don't know how to feel about that scriptwriter..........
"Someone named Dr. Hamilton." Who reports this stuff? They have'nt a clue.

Book Description:
Jane Barlow Schwartz is obsessed with one question: why did her best friend Martha stop being her best friend? The two girls, distant cousins, had shared idyllic childhood summers in the New England seaside town named for their family's founding fathers. Martha was not just Jane's friend, but her soul mate, her confidante. Then, somewhere along the line, the friendship ended. What went wrong? Was it the family feud, which their parents spoke of only in hushed tones? What did Jane's dotty great-aunt reveal to Martha on her deathbed? Did Jane do something unforgivable? When the cousins are reunited unexpectedly on a tour of the Galápagos Islands, they meet Darwin head-on. In the pristine Galápagos waters, amid blue-footed boobies and red-lipped batfish, Jane traces back through her Yankee-Cuban-Jewish ancestry to try to pinpoint the "splitting event," the moment when Martha was no longer the Martha she knew. Bearing Schine's rich wit and playful imagination, "The Evolution of Jane" sparkles with keenly comic observations on the species known as humans. Above all, it is a warm-hearted tribute to that unique adaptation of girlhood, the selection of a vert best friend.

WD mixes flash-disk cocktail in Vegas, lets clients feel up models
WD is sending out samples of its 500GB and 1TB hybrid flash hard disk drives to OEM customers and showcasing them at CES in Las Vegas. According to an Engadget report WD is sampling two hybrid HDDS with its OEMs: A 500GB 2.5-inch model with a 5mm z-height and 24GB of NAND, called the WD5000M13K A 1TB 2.5-inch drive with a 7mm …
WD need to get their act together on reliability first, we are always sending back WD drives for end users.
We won't buy / supply any more WDs, and have not done so for the last 12 months.
Only saving grace is that they have a longer warranty period than most of the other brands.
Re: Reliability
We buy many thousands of 3.5in disks from WD and I can't say that we have any complaints about them.
New connector?
"The 1TB one has a 6Gbits SATA interface and the 500GB unit has a new connector."
What does "New connector" mean? Are you saying WD have defined their own non standard connector?
"Hybrids may become known as SSHDs"
I hope not. It will always be secure shell daemon to me.
Too little to late I reckon. I'm seeing the odd deal on 256GB SSD's for around £100.
512GB SSD's are available for less than £300.
I doubt these new hybrids will be out before September...
And no doubt by this time next year the 512GB SSD's will be had for less than £200....
They'll have to price them low from the get go otherwise no one will buy them.
They should be at a point of selling 1 and 2TB 2.5" hybrids, not 500GB and 1TB.
How about use in RAID systems?
Can Hybrid drives be used in RAID systems (such as RAID 5)? How about the newer generation SSD drives for that matter? When I built my last PC I was told that putting SSDs in a RAID array will make them fail very quickly indeed.
Re: How about use in RAID systems?
If the RAID controller isn't aware of TRIM and other operating system commands for managing SSDs then they may not run in an optimised way and may even fail earlier than a non-RAIDed SSD.
I believe Linux now mostly supports TRIM in most RAID and LVM modes, but I don't know about hardware RAID controllers and Windows.
Re: How about use in RAID systems?
I assume its self managed by the drive itself and actually hides the SSD like the Seagate does, so TRIM might not actually be required.
Might be a bonus for Raid but then again its a consumer drive so will have bad points which may affect its use within a RAID.
Re: How about use in RAID systems?
Yes - but don't bother. It won't gain you much.
Yes and it will gain you quite a bit.
Failure rates are dependent on the amount of writing going on. Write amplification isn't a major issue as long as your chunk sizes are sensible.

What began last year as a Hispanic cultural experiment is predicted to draw 24,000 people into uptown Charlotte on Saturday.
Thats double the crowd that attended the 2012 HOLA Charlotte Hispanic Heritage Festival. Bigger still is the number of venues backing the event, including Discovery Place, the Levine Museum of the New South, ImaginOn and 7th Street Public Market. Thats up from one museum last year.
Norsan Media, a Hispanic media conglomerate based in Atlanta, launched the festival last year as part of a push to elevate the communitys celebration of Hispanic culture.
Pamela Sanchez of Norsan Media said they expected 10,000 to attend last year, but 12,000 people turned out, even though it rained much of the day.
Charlotte has other Hispanic cultural events, including some sponsored by Norsan. Most are in parks across the city, she said.
To be completely honest, there is a feeling that some Hispanics dont feel comfortable going into uptown, whether its due to a language barrier or something else. They would rather stay on the outskirts of the city, Sanchez said.
We felt it was important for Hispanics to feel welcomed in uptown and took the initiative to change things. Closing down a street in uptown for the day is a big step toward recognizing this population.
The event will feature dance exhibitions, live music and Latin food, along with a village showcasing the culture of 10 Latin American countries.
Sanchez said Charlotte Center City Partners gets a lot of credit for the events growing support among uptown cultural facilities.
Last year, we listened and we watched, and what we saw was an opportunity to make something bigger, said Robert Krumbine, chief creative officer for Center City Partners. Whats in uptown is not here for a select number of people. Everybody needs to feel welcomed.
Uptown sites like the Mint Museum and the Levine Museum are trying to draw in a larger Hispanic audience, by using tactics such as bilingual exhibits and outreach consultants.
Tom Hanchett of the Levine Museum cited a recent Nielsen Latino market survey that showed Charlottes Hispanic population is growing faster than in any other region in the country. Thats based on 2000 to 2013 data.
There are lots of reasons for us to be involved in this event, and one of them is that the Latino population is making history now in Charlotte, Hanchett said.

15 November 2007 13:50
The massive BMW K1200LT tourer has been given a boost for 2008, with every UK motorcycle gaining the full BMW Lux package as standard.
For 2008, the basic and SE versions of the K1200LT are being removed from the UK BMW motorcycle range, leaving only the highest-specification machine, which will be available to order.
The full £15,395 package includes virtually every extra you can imagine, with heated grips, cruise control, a heated seat, central locking for the panniers and topbox, ground lighting and an ant-theft system as standard.
Other goodies include the firm's Xenon headlight kit, which gives a different look to the front of the bike, with an additional light below the main headlight unit. The two lamps act separately, as a high and low-beam, and offer 10 percent better illumination than conventional units. The Lux pack also includes a "Navigator preparation kit" – so BMW's sat-nav system can easily be added.
Despite its high spec, there are still additional options to be had, including a luggage rack, higher screen, intercom and CD changer. You can even order a cup holder!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Bennett is a GREAT school. My children love to go to school and look forward to every single day. I feel certain that the teachers and principals strive to make Bennett a safe, happy and yet challenging environment. We have been at another school but find Bennett to be the BEST. -parent Staci Archer
This school is awful! The teachers put on a nice face when they are in front of parents but are rude behind closed doors. I have observed this myself. They treat the children like idiots. Their dismissal procedures are ridiculous and unsafe. Shame on you Bennett....
All of my children have attended this school, and it has been a terrific experience for all of us. The special programs, from the GT program to, dyslexia to, the in-school tutoring, have been fantastic. The teachers and principal love children and are willing to do whatever the kids need to learn. Also, the PTA and parent involvement is good. The PTA focuses on the children and supports the school to achieve. Parents are always willing to help in the classroom and around the campus and participate in their children's education. I highly recommend this school.
My child is now going into he 4th grade at Bennett. In third grade she struggled in math. The teacher never sat down with the kids and helped them when they had trouble, plus there are a lot of bullies there and nobody did anything about it. A couple of weeks before school ended my child was brought home with one of her friends. When one of the parents walked into the room she saw child sitting on the floor crying she helped her up and asked her where the teacher was. of course she left the room with nobody else in there. My child claims that one of the kids threw his backpack and hit her in the face. Not a good school. DO NOT send your children there!
Bennett has great teachers who care about the kids!!!
The teacher 's at Benett need an eye kept on them by the parents. Parents do you really know how your children are being treated. Some of the teachers at Benett just look for any excuse to yell at a child. Do you know that at the end of school party one child did not bring his pizza money, so the teacher would not let him have any pizza. This child had to go to the cafeteria get his lunch and go back to his room and watch all the other children eat pizza. Several people offferd to pay for him but this teacher said NO!!! That is an outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We've had enough of Bennett Elementary. The rule-breakers are coddled, and the kids who excel are stifled. It's an overgrown preschool. If you enjoy hearing teachers refer to students as 'friends', and don't have problems with teachers telling your child 'I love you,' then you will love this school. I prefer my children to be taught, challenged, and treated with appropriate respect and discipline. My children are bored to tears in the classrooms, even after talking with teachers about more challenging work. My kids are used as de facto teacher's aides for the kids who are struggling. My children dread school in the morning. My son was hit, kicked, etc. daily by a student, and the principal did nothing -- because the other child has problems at home. Mine was allowed to be used as a pinata. And yes, we are moving, this summer. Really looking forward to leaving.
They treat the kids like real people. And the kids really want to be there.
I hated leaving the school the teachers are amazing, my son attended Pre-k at Bennett and learned what a 1st grader at any other school would learn. He learned how to spell his name, recognize and write all the letters in the alphabet. Also learned hot to count to 100 and how to write numbers to 100. Not only did they teach the standard reading, writing and math they taught him character and how to be respectful.
Teachers are very involved and motivated towards providing education. The principal does cafeteria duty every morning and can tell you most of the students names(not just the 'troubled' children). Rated Exemplary in state testing!

The Antitrust Paradox
A Policy at War with Itself
October 01, 1997
Title:The Antitrust Paradox
Paperback ISBN:0029044561
Paperback Dimensions:8.3'' x 5.58''
- 479 Paperback pages
Hardcover ISBN:0029044553
Judge Robert H. Bork gives a fascinating, though demanding, review of the most important antitrust issues in the United States. The central, pragmatic thesis of Bork is maximization of consumer welfare (also called economic efficiency) and not the protection of small businesses in addressing any antitrust issue. Unfortunately, the legislative, executive and judiciary branches of power as well as the practicing bar have not always shown consistency in making, interpreting, and applying antitrust rules. The main reason for their shared sub-optimal performance in that area is the too-often absence of a rudimentary understanding of market economics according to Bork. Bork believes that law and economics are two complementary disciplines that should be taught together as part of the academic requirements or at least whose teaching could be made optional at the undergraduate level in our universities.

Louanne Kennedy, who retired at the end of August after ten years of service as provost and vice president for academic affairs, was honored as a "powerful advocate for academic excellence" at a University Club reception and roast attended by about 200 campus colleagues.
Following is a resolution presented on behalf of the Faculty Senate by Chair Michael Neubauer:
"Whereas Louanne Kennedy has served California State University Northridge most ably as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy responded to the Northridge earthquakečwhich followed her arrival on campus by only a few monthsčwith decisive, dynamic, and highly effective leadership;
Whereas Louanne Kennedy generously remained in the temporary but unforgettable 'Dome' until classes were returned to real buildings and all faculty returned to appropriate offices; and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy has been a powerful advocate for academic excellence at every level, from our newest first-year students to our most venerable senior faculty; and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy has been a determined and insistent advocate for student success; and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy has been an intelligent, courageous, and passionately committed member of the university community; and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy is visionary in her commitment to the faculty recruitment and hiring process; and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy has always had a clear sense and unerring instinct for priorities that advance the mission as well as the heart of the university; and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy has led this campus with humor, intelligence, and well-timed righteous fury as well as love; and
Whereas Louanne Kennedy's creativity, intelligent leadership, and hard work are responsible, to a large extent, for many of CSUN's recent successesčsuch as high praise when earning WASC accreditation, and the award of the prestigious Teachers for a New Era Initiative; and
Whereas the Faculty Senate has benefited from the positive, candid, and humorous interactions with Louanne Kennedy;
Therefore, be it resolved that the Faculty Senate of CSUN acknowledge the power of her presence here, and the loss her absence will bring; and
Be it further resolved that the Faculty Senate of CSUN acknowledge that words cannot reflect the depth of respect and appreciation we have for her; and
Be it further resolved that the Faculty Senate of CSUN formally express its gratitude and appreciation to Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Louanne Kennedy for her extensive contributions and commitment to the campus community; and
Be it finally resolved that the Faculty Senate of CSUN wish Louanne Kennedy the very best in her future, which we hope will continue to include CSU Northridge and its community."

The Owen County Sheriff's office has become the center of an investigation of problems that are believed to be causing multiple illnesses within the facility.
Employees at the sheriff's office first believed the cause of illness to be mold, mildew or asbestos.
The Department of Labor tested the facility July 8 after receiving a complaint from the Division of Compliance. The facility was tested inside and out. According to a report from the Department of Labor, no unusual circumstances were found.
The Owen County Leadership Alumni met March 3 to discuss an agenda that consisted of cleaning up the downtown area and building a Web site that will inform those looking to come to Owen County on how to begin a successful small business.
The Leadership Alumni consists of a group of about 70 people who have graduated from the four leadership classes. Leadership is an eight-month program that covers everything from agriculture to entrepreneurship.
After two people were arrested for possession of heroin in Owen County, Owenton Police Chief Terry Gentry is concerned the use of heroin may be on the rise in Owen County.
The two arrests were made within days of each other.
Eugene F. Wolpert was arrested on Feb. 28 and charged with first-degree possession of heroin.
The second suspect, whose name is part of an ongoing investigation was arrested on March 2 and charged with first-degree possession of heroin.
Gentry said two different kinds of heroin were found.
When Trisha and Betty Richardson began their catering business last year, they never dreamed it would lead into opening their own restaurant, the Farmhouse Grill.
Trisha and Betty Richardson are both natives of Owen County and took their first steps toward opening a restaurant when they began Your Menu Catering in 2008.
When the location became available on Roland Avenue, the two jumped at the chance to start their own restaurant.
State Sen. Damon Thayer gave the Owen County Republican Party an update Thursday of what he has been working on during the 2009 legislative session, including the cigarette and packaged-liquor tax increase.
Thayer, R-Georgetown, was recently re-elected as senator for the 17th district. He also serves as chairman for the Senate Committee on State and Local Government.
Thayer thanked the Owen County Republican Party for supporting him during his campaign.
For Owenton Mayor David "Milkweed" Wotier, the search has ended for a new deputy city clerk. Veronica Chapman was officially sworn in March 3.
The deputy city clerk position became open after previous deputy Laura Aldridge was sworn in as city clerk.
Wotier said there were at least 30 people who called or inquired about the job.
Chapman, a 33-year-old Owen County native, said she felt like she would be well suited for the job because of her office experience.
To win the 31st District title, the Owen County Rebels would have to defeat a pair of rivals that have not been friendly as of late.
Over the past couple of seasons, Gallatin County has had the upper hand against Owen County.
Henry County has been tough on Owen County, beating the Rebels twice this year at the buzzer. The second time came back in January when the Wildcats sank a 40-footer at the horn to win the All "A" Classic.
The Rebels' climb to the top started Feb. 25 against Gallatin County.
The Owen County Justice Center is taking shape. The center is planned to reflect the design of the current courthouse.
The plans presented at the project development board Monday are a starting point to fine-tune the layout.
The plans feature three courtrooms, one each for district, circuit and family court. The family court, which takes up the entire second floor, will remain vacant until the budget is available for a family court judge.
Each week, 27 classrooms in Owen County receive copies of the News-Herald. Teachers from the primary school through the high school use the papers each week to correlate everything from articles to classifieds into their weekly lessons.
This week is National Newspapers in Education week. Each teacher who receives copies of the News-Herald is sponsored by individuals or businesses.
Sharlena Young, a fifth-grade teacher at Owen County Elementary School, uses the copies she receives for several different subjects, including government and economics.
"It was crazy."
Those were the thoughts of Rianna Gayheart after Owen County captured its second straight 31st District Championship Friday night.
Owen County defeated Carroll County 38-30 in double overtime to capture the title.
The Lady Rebels had a shot to win at the end of regulation when Lauren Lowe got off a shot at the buzzer from just across half court. The ball hit the back of the rim and then seemed to hang there until it fell off.

It's been a struggle to start off conference play for the North Carolina Tar Heels. They currently sit at the bottom of the ACC standings after dropping the first three conference games of the year.
Carolina has some nice wins on their tournament resume, but they also have some bad losses where their weaknesses have shown. If the Tar Heels want to make a run at the ACC or the NCAA Tournament improvements have to come now. They can't afford anymore bad losses to hurt their stock.
In breaking down the Tar Heels struggles during the first half of the season, I found three things UNC basketball must improve on, or it will continue to be a long season.
Free Throw Shooting
This one is obvious. The Tar Heels have struggled mightily at the free throw line this season and it's cost them. Entering their game against Boston College, the Tar Heels are shooting 61.7 percent from the free throw line. That puts them at 340 out of 351 in college basketball.
That won't win you many games come tournament time.
The Tar Heels struggles at the line are evident. They have just two players shooting over 70 percent at the free throw line, and five players shooting over 60 percent.
If you want to win conference and tournament games, free throw shooting is key. The brutal free throw shooting by the Tar Heels have cost them a few games that they would love to have back. In their six losses this season, the Heels have shot 67 percent from the free throw line. In conference play they have shot just 55 percent from the line.
Making improvements at the free throw line starts with being aggressive and getting to the line. That's something they have struggled with as well. In their six losses, the Heels have made it to the free throw line 11 or less times in three games. This is very unlikely of a Roy Willliams coached team.
It's time to be more aggressive by driving to the lane and creating contact. If this continues to be a problem, it's going to be a disappointing year in Chapel Hill.
One major area the Tar Heels must focus on is their poor defense they have displayed in recent games. At times this season, we have seen this team play great defense. Some of those times have led to big wins over ranked opponents.
But when the Tar Heels aren't playing good on defense, they will struggle.
This doesn't mix well with the Tar Heels lack of scoring lately, which is creating a recipe for disaster that we are witnessing first hand. The Tar Heels have big bodies inside but still struggle with giving up second chance points to opposing defenses.
Another area is the pick-and-roll. The Tar Heels struggle to guard that and opposing teams are making them pay. I've seen at a bunch early on in conference play and it will continue as long as the Tar Heels cant guard it.
The interior defense has also seen its fair sure of criticism as well. Having players like Brice Johnson, JP Tokoto, Joel James, Kennedy Meeks and James Michael McAdoo shouldn't lead to a team struggling on the defensive end of the floor.
Perimeter Play
This goes for both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. The Tar Heels perimeter game has struggled lately, especially in conference play.
The problem with North Carolina is its lack of shooters to threat opposing defenses. That all starts on the perimeter for the Tar Heels. While Marcus Paige has been good at times this season, recently he has struggled. If Paige struggles to score, the Tar Heels will struggle to score.
With Leslie McDonald back a few weeks ago I figured it would add another scorer to the Tar Heels lineup. That hasn't been the case at all. McDonald is averaging just 9.7 points per game in 7 games, but has looked lost at times in this Tar Heel offense. McDonald playing better would certainly give the Tar Heels a boost on the offensive end of the floor.
Much like the defense section I posted earlier, the Tar Heels really need to step up on the defensive end. Opposing guards are having their way with them and it doesn't seem to be sending a message to the team.

Every piece of furniture in my house has come from an estate sale, thrift store, or antique store. Or Craigslist. Really, buying new furniture in Cleveland isn't the smartest choice, considering you can get really great quality vintage/antique stuff for so much less than buying new from even cheapy furniture stores like Ikea and World Market.
So, the art of the estate sale. Most sales open Thursday or Friday. If there's a sale I find that has amazing stuff, I will try to flex my time at work and go on the first day. When a sale says "numbers at 9, opens at 10″ or something like that, it means you go pick up a number and that is the order in which you will go. It makes much more sense for you to wake up early and get a good number (most house sales will let 15 or 20 people in at a time, depending on the size of the house) then go when it opens and be stuck with number 112 and wait two hours. Alex and I spotted this Danish modern chair we NEEDED for our living room. We went to the sale ridiculously early (like left our house at 8am when numbers were given at 9:30), got number 2 and 3, and discovered number 4 also wanted the chair. Alex scoped the house out while we waited, knew where the chair was, and grabbed it. Had we not arrived so early, number 4 would have had our chair.
The downside, however, is that most estate sales attract a number of dealers who stock the resale vintage shops all over the city. They will be there extremely early for good sales (sales with lots of mid century, shabby chic, high end, digouts) and you can basically forget about getting the good stuff if you aren't.
So where do you find out about these estate sales? Most companies list on this website and some are listed on Craigslist, particularly sales that are ran by a family member rather than a hired company. By the way, those sales are often AWESOME because the family member doesn't know how to price stuff and often has no idea what they have. They're risky, though, because they don't really have pictures of the stuff so you don't know what you're getting into until you get there. Also, they almost always take cash only (not even checks) and I always find myself running short on the cash I need. Most professional estate sale companies will at least take personal checks and many take credit cards but charge an additional fee.
Happy hunting, peeps.

"Perfect for grandchildren's school photos. Just what I wanted and needed. I find the storage unit on the back perfect for my many grandchildren's school pictures! All the photos fit neatly and look uniform."
– K. Moriarty, about DOUBLE for 5x7 frames
"Beautiful Product I can't say enough about these beautiful frames - they are a truly professional-quality product that makes hanging groups of photos a snap... I look forward to the fun of switching out my photos to match seasons and holidays."
– Mary B., about her Medium frames
"Best Frame for the Money I would have expected to pay twice the amount I did for such a professional matting and framing solution. From installing the art into the frame, to the installation , with provided hardware, this is a elegant framing solution that looks as professional as they come... Can't say enough positive things about both the product and the service. Three cheers and five stars!"
– David T. about Large for 8x10
"... No longer am I stuck looking at the same photos year after year. In less than a minute I can change the photo from the storage slot in the back. Being a photographer , and always wanting to frame more photos, the Change of Art concept was the answer."

Links: Quit Joshing around
Hamilton's struggles must end
Published: Jul 27, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Fantasy Source experts read far and wide in order to keep on top of everything in baseball. Here are some of the stories that interested us this week. If you see something you think is worth sharing with our readers, tweet @DavidAArnott or email us.
Hamilton keeps sliding. There's no telling what's going on with Texas' Josh Hamilton. Part of the problem with analyzing his struggles over the past two months is he's always been an unorthodox hitter. Since starting his career in 2007, Hamilton is ninth among all qualified hitters in swing percentage -- the percentage of pitches a batter swings at -- and has been a better hitter over that time than anyone else ahead of him on that list. The closest guys are Pablo Sandoval and Vladimir Guerrero, two other idiosyncratic free-swingers. This year, Hamilton has swung at a higher percentage of pitches than anyone other than Delmon Young and, as a result, has seen fewer pitches per plate appearance than luminaries such as Yuniesky Betancourt, Rod Barajas and Jeff Baker. I don't have a satisfactory answer, but at this point, after a 40-game slump, it's just a matter of time before Hamilton busts out of it and goes back to hitting like the superstar he's been for several years. (Hardball Talk)
Lester seeking more. Hamilton's closest analogue among pitchers is probably Boston's Jon Lester. While Lester has been far from terrible this season, he's clearly not the same pitcher he was the past couple years, as his strikeout numbers are sagging. (FanGraphs)
Shining Starling. Interested in picking up Starling Marte, the Pirates' new everyday left fielder? Here's some quick background. In 431 minor-league plate appearances this year, he hit 12 home runs and had 21 steals. If he retains both power and speed in the majors, he'll have immediate fantasy impact. (MLB.com)
Cubby shut down. If you were thinking of trading for Matt Garza, here's hoping your fantasy league has an August trade deadline. The Cubs shut him down until after the MLB trade deadline passes because of a nagging triceps injury. (Sporting News)
Hanley on the way down. At the start of the season, it looked like the Marlins had an All-Star left-side of the infield. Now, Hanley Ramirez has been shipped to the Dodgers. SN's Stan McNeal tried to find out why it all went wrong in Miami, and if that's fixable in Los Angeles. (Sporting News)
In case you missed it on Fantasy Source:
Battling Bailey. Bill Bender: "The Sunday start against Pittsburgh could be one that puts the Reds in the driver's seat for the NL Central title. A strong start there would both garner a seat-shaking ovation and solidify Homer Bailey's place in mixed leagues." (FREE | Pitcher Ranks, 7/27)
Amazing A's. George Winkler: "Haven't we been here before? In fact, didn't they just make an Oscar-nominated movie about the A's starring Brad Pitt? And what exactly is Scott Hatteberg doing these days?" (Week Ahead, 7/27)
Revisiting the Ballpark Power Index. Brad Pinkerton: "In terms of hitter-friendly homes, Ichiro Suzuki just upgraded from a studio apartment to a mansion. Yankee Stadium, which is actually closer to the size of a New York studio apartment, entered the season ranked No. 1 -- the most hitter friendly -- in our annual Ballpark Power Index." (Hit and Run, 7/25)
Roster Dumping and Dempster. Eric Ferguson: "With the trade deadline just days away, teams all around Major League Baseball are evaluating their chances of competing this season and deciding whether they're buyers or sellers. Some teams have an easy decision to make. The Cubs, Astros, and Mariners are already looking forward to October tee times. On the other hand, the Tigers, Yankees, and Braves (maybe) are loading up for the stretch run and beyond. Then there are teams like the Rays, Blue Jays, and Phillies, who can't seem to decide which camp they fall into (although it shouldn't be that hard in Philadelphia's case). A lot of fantasy owners face a similar fate." (Deep Thoughts, 7/24)
Trades a'Plenty. Pinkerton, Matt Lutovsky and David A. Arnott talk about MLB's major trades so far leading up to next week's trade deadline, and the fantasy implications for players on the move. (FREE | Podcast, 7/24)

I lost a day this week. I thought it was only Tuesday so this is a bit late. Small Footprints decided to focus on Plastic bags. Before I share this week's challenge, I did follow up in searching for butcher paper to replace the food saver bags in my freezer. I found them, but I didn't purchase them.
What is the point of buying paper, of which has its own environmental impact if it's going to be coated with plastic? I don't know what the answer is. I could look at the problem as one of finding something reusable. That wouldn't be real hard, a bit pricey, but not hard. I could use glass mason jars like Small Footprints does or take her suggestion and buy stainless steel containers that might stack better. But if I am trying to keep my footprint as low as possible it takes resources to make those stainless steel containers. Glass then would be the best option I can think of.
Now that I have shared my latest disappointment, how about a challenge that ties in nicely with Plastic-free July?
This week's challenge is all about the plastic bag.
Plastic bag use has been called a pandemic (an epidemic of infectious disease that has spread through human populations across a large region). These ubiquitous bags cause a lot of problems for the environment. Here are some facts:
- Approximately two million single-use plastic bags are used, worldwide, each minute.
- According to the BBC, only 1 in 200 plastic bags in the UK are recycled.
- A 2011 article in Rolling Stone stated that American shoppers use more than 500 plastic bags, per consumer, per year.
- There are about 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in every square mile of ocean.
- Plastic bags remain toxic even after they break down.
- It costs 2-5 cents to manufacture one bag. It costs 17 cents to clean them up.
Let's commit, or recommit, to banning them from our lives!
I had to stop in the grocery store Monday to price something for my son, at the checkout I heard a conversation that dampened my mood. The woman in front of me had just purchased a single item, a loaf of bread. This was a commercial brand which meant it was in a plastic bag with a metal twist tie. The cashier asked if she wanted a [plastic] bag to put the bread in. The customer thought about it then said no. Nice right? But then she added that she thought she had enough at home to make it through the week. She then turned the conversation to how she can't imagine what she would do with out them because they are so useful. Ugh I wanted to say something but decided I should probably keep my mouth closed. This woman wasn't going to be swayed by anything I had to say.
This week's challenge is:
This week, ban plastic bags. Carry a reusable bag, use a box, or simply carry items loose. Say NO to plastic bags and don't allow them into your home.
If your home is plastic bag free, please refuse to buy anything which is packaged in plastic (I know … it's truly a challenge … but I have confidence in you).
Look around your home for plastic items and then, research non-plastic alternatives. If you are ready to replace the item, please do. If not, make plans to do so when the time comes.
I've got carrying my bag down, I never leave home without at least one.
How am I doing with this year's Plastic-free July? Not nearly as well as I would like. This month I had to purchase a few things which I could only get if I bought them wrapped in plastic. The first was a bag of organic apples. Being without one of my favorite fruits is hard, so I broke down and bought one bag. At our store there is no option either a bag of apples or no apples.
Then came a request from my daughter-in-law. She's having a baby shower Sunday and asked me to make onesies from her Pinterest boards for her husband. No problem. The onesies I finally found were encased in cardboard but had four pieces of tape. Where I ran into a problem was in having to buy fabric paint. In the end I settled for fabric paint markers. I went with the smallest package I could find but I still came home with five plastic markers and a plastic sleeve.
The little ones asked me to get tortillas so they can have sandwiches when they are here. Guess what, the only options available come in plastic. I know you probably know how to make your own. I do too, but I don't have a stove so that option isn't open for me.
It's now 17 days in and my plastic total that came into my house was:
- 5 markers and a plastic sleeve
- a tortilla wrapper
- bag from apples
- 4 pieces of tape.
As for looking to replace things around my home, the food saver is tops on my list but that will take a bit of time. Mason jars are rare here second-hand, they are grabbed up as soon as they arrive which leaves me with buying them new.
There really isn't much plastic left in my home. What I can think of would be:
- plastic cup for washing my hair (not putting glass in the shower)
- plastic spray bottle for vinegar in the shower, same situation as the cup.
- My juicer has a lot of plastic on it, I'm considering selling it as I make more smoothies than juices
- My laptop and cell phone of course are plastic, are there alternatives to plastic cases?
- The two shutters I found and have on either side of my window
- A few pens and markers
- Lots of pill bottles I save for quarters (laundry) and to save seeds in.
- Some of the children's toys are plastic, it's hard to get around that.
- My clock radio which I pull out to listen to music has a plastic case
- With music I still have quite a few CDs, plastic
- My deodorant comes in plastic.
- My vacuüm is made from plastic
- My broom and dustpan which I've had for decades have plastic on them
There are a few other thing in my sewing supplies which are plastic such as my rotary cutter and a few of the quilting tools. I'm sure I am leaving something out, but it's getting better.

How to develop sensitive outcome measures of exercise over inactivity at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and functional levels to show positive effects of exercise?
How to develop experimental models for use by the human population?
Given that physical activity is an inexpensive treatment that could have substantial preventive and restorative benefits for cognitive and brain function, how can such interventions be studied and how can they be implemented on a population-based scale?
How will technology (e.g., novel equipment, improved environment) facilitate and motivate people to exercise on a regular basis? Specifics should include how technological innovation will make exercise more attractive and compelling for cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems improvement (e.g., aerobic and resistance exercise).
How can we change community design in rural, suburban, and urban settings to facilitate and encourage as well as promote exercise in younger and older populations? What are the recommended strategies for such enhancement?
