WEST ALLIS - Pandemic nesters rejoice: Milwaukee's Home and Garden Show is back for its 96th year, and ready to inspire homeowners who have become a little tired of their all-too-familiar spaces.
After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the nation's longest-running home and garden show opens Friday at the Wisconsin State Fair Expo Hall. More than 350 vendors and exhibits will be on display for the show's 10-day run.
Show organizers say homeowners are hungry to transform their surroundings.
“Over the last two years, people have had a lot of time to think about their indoor and outdoor spaces,” Amanda Falk, show director of the Home & Garden Show, said.
“Whether it was creating pseudo home offices, classrooms or backyard respites, the pandemic forced us to reimagine our spaces," she said.
This year's show is whimsically dubbed "Gnome Sweet Home," paying homage to a classic garden staple in a new age of home decorating and consumer needs.
The pandemic, as the pandemic does, changed homeowner priorities. The show seeks to reflect that, said Mike Ruzicka, president of the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors.
While during the early days of the pandemic many nesters sought to make the indoors bearable, the focus has now shifted to creating more livable outdoor spaces.
"Outdoor living, even in Wisconsin, the emphasis on it has grown dramatically," Ruzicka said.
"The landscapers have been a lot busier. People are going beyond just a patio or a picnic table ... they move their kitchens and living rooms outside."
Jerry Schmitt, buyer for Wisconsin-based Stein's Gardens and Gifts, said sale are being driven by individuals' ideas of their homes rather than by specific looks or trends.
"It's about creating feeling ... there's probably no right way or wrong way to do it ... everybody is their own designer," Schmitt said.
Specific new trends for 2022 include solar panels and solar-powered decorations, exploration of environmentally-friendly products like rain barrels and natural pesticides, gnomes, small indoor and outdoor plants and waterscapes.
"Everyone wants a water feature," said Dean Pepito, founder and owner of Wales-based waterscape company Aquatica. "They want to create their own sanctuary in their backyard."

The show's theme this year is "Gnome Sweet Home," a salute to gardeners' bearded friends.
Aquatica is showcasing a 2,500-square-foot gnome-themed water garden. Guests can also participate in a scavenger hunt with "Gnorm" the Garden Gnome, and winners will be eligible for garden-themed prizes. The Wisconsin Garden Railway Association created a tiny village, fit for a gnome, inside a model train layout.
Gnomes may be back in style, but they're nothing new. As early as the 1600s, gnomes were a staple in yards in Europe.
They represented good luck, and presided over vegetables and flowers alike as guardians against evil spirits.
There are several different origin stories for gnomes and similar creatures around the world, Gnomes as we know them today were first produced in Germany in the 1800s.
Little rosy-cheeked men with beards and pointy red hats have since immigrated to United States' gardens, looking after our backyard landscapes
At Minor's Garden Center, a Milwaukee garden-needs icon for 73 years, gnomes are back in style.
"It's a huge category," said Brian Uebelacker, general manager and product buyer for Minor's.
"Back in the day, you had your basic four or five gnomes," Schmitt said.
"Now there's no limit ... You can't go wrong with a gnome."
The Home and Garden Show will take place March 25 through April 3, but is closed Monday and Tuesday, at the Expo Center at Wisconsin State Fair Park, 8200 W. Greenfield Ave. in West Allis.
Full hours, which differ daily, can be found here.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $6 for seniors (purchased on site) and children 12 and under are free. Veterans, frontline workers and emergency personnel are also free.
Parking is available through Gates 1 and 4 in the park, and costs $10 per car, $5 per motorcycle.
Wheelchairs are not available on site.

Regular exercise may help women live longer, regardless of their genes - Medical News Today
In the United States, the National Center for Health Statistics estimates the life expectancies of males and females are 74.5 years and 80.2 years, respectively. For healthy aging, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that physical activity is key.
To find out whether physical activity had an advantage over genetics in promoting longevity, researchers at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science at the University of California San Diego and other institutions conducted a nationwide study.
After analyzing health data of more than 5,000 older postmenopausal women, the researchers found that higher levels of light, moderate, or vigorous physical activity correlated with a lower risk of all-cause deaths. The findings expanded on prior studies that have shown that more sedentary time carries greater health risks.
These associations persisted across varying levels of genetic potential for living longer.
“[The] findings support the importance of higher physical activity (PA) and lower sedentary time (ST) for reducing mortality risk in older women, regardless of [their] genetic predisposition for longevity,” the researchers wrote.
Their prospective study was recently published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity.
From 2012 to 2020, the UC San Diego researchers analyzed data on the physical activity of more than 5,000 ambulatory women ages 63 and older.
Lead author Alexander Posis, MPH, a doctoral student in the San Diego State University/UC San Diego Joint Doctoral Program in Public Health, explained the significance of the OPACH study to Medical News Today:
“Our study used pre-existing data from the Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health (OPACH) study, which is part of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) that started in the early 1990s because women had not been included in many epidemiologic studies and clinical trials.”
– Alexander Posis, MPH, lead author of the study
The OPACH study focused on associations between physical activity, cardiovascular disease, and injury risks. The data generated allowed researchers to look at physical activity and the risk of mortality, cancers, cognitive decline, and physical disability as well.
Other research using the OPACH study found associations with physical activity (PA), sedentary time (ST), and mortality during an average follow-up of 3 years. However, no one had explored any possible genetic influence on these associations.
The UC San Diego study aimed to use a follow-up of 6 years and adjust the results with a “weighted genetic risk score (GRS) for longevity.”
OPACH participants wore an accelerometer 24 hours per day for 7 consecutive days.
The device measured the amount of time the women spent moving or being still and the intensity of any activity.
The researchers defined total PA “as movement resulting in energy expenditure.” They categorized PA intensity and ST minutes using predetermined cut points applied to the accelerometer counts.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have linked multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or genetic variants, to longevity.
The UC San Diego cohort developed a weighted GRS based on three SNPs strongly associated with long life. This metric compared survival to age 90 versus death before age 90.
Covariates, or characteristics among the study’s participants, included age, education level, body mass index (BMI), self-reported health status, and other details. Participants’ race was also a factor but was limited to white, Black, and Hispanic ethnicities.
The study also analyzed chronic conditions present before or after participation, including cancer, depression, frequent falls, and cardiovascular disease.
Of the 5,446 women in the present study’s sample, 1,022 passed away during follow-up.
The authors determined that 36% of the total population had a high GRS, 33.1% had a medium GRS, and 30.9% had a low GRS for longevity.
The researchers firstly found that physical activity, of light or moderate-to-vigorous intensity, was associated with a lower risk of death while higher ST was associated with a higher risk of death. Interestingly, these associations persisted regardless of one’s genetic predisposition for longevity.
Interestingly, the low-GRS individuals were younger, more active, and had higher physical functioning scores than the other GRS groups. Those with low GRS were also “more likely to be of Black race/ethnicity than the medium and high GRS groups.”
“Our study showed that, even if you aren’t likely to live long based on your genes, you can still extend your lifespan by engaging in positive lifestyle behaviors such as regular exercise and sitting less,” Aladdin H. Shadyab, PhD, the study’s senior author and assistant professor at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science, said in a news release.
Historically, women have been significantly underrepresented in clinical trials. Using data from the OPACH study was a step forward in inclusive research.
However, the resulting lack of male participation created a limitation on the UC San Diego study’s findings.
“Based on the design of our study, we were not able to make any inferences on men. But we hope that future studies will examine these associations in study cohorts that include men as well as those in younger age groups,” Posis told MNT.
Dr. Scott Kaiser, a geriatrician and director of Geriatric Cognitive Health for the Pacific Neuroscience Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, CA, told MNT the work is a “well-done study [… with] a lot of great data.” However, he cautioned that the current study is an association study and not designed to prove causality.
“I think this just supports an increasing amount of evidence that our genes are not our destiny […] It shows that there is a stronger association between longevity with physical activity than [with] genetics,” Dr. Kaiser said.
Noting that the present study focused on only certain markers of longevity, Dr. Kaiser added that researchers need to determine other such factors. For instance, he said that the SNPs used to calculate the GRS were more common among people of European ancestry.
Dr. Kaiser said the term “sedentary time” might not be appropriate. It does not account for people who are unable to walk but can still engage in other physical activities such as chair exercises.
“It’s whether you just have some consistent physical activity versus somebody who’s overall physically inactive,” he said.
Dr. Kaiser hopes the public will understand that genetics do not trump a healthy lifestyle for reducing disease and mortality risk.
“When it comes to healthy aging, exercise is about the closest thing we have to a miracle drug,” he said.
“The whole take of this [study] is that even if you could go to your doctor and get a fancy genetic test to see whether or not you have markers of longevity, it doesn’t matter as much as whether you get up off the couch and exercise on a regular basis.”

Fry's Electronics appears in trailer for Jordan Peele's 'Nope' - SFGATE
Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya walk through the aisles of Fry's Electronics in a new trailer for Jordan Peele's "Nope."
Fans of horror master Jordan Peele are eagerly anticipating his latest sci-fi thriller, “Nope,” and Bay Area viewers were all over the new trailer released on Thursday when they discovered the filmmaker had brought a favorite local retail chain back from the dead (at least for the big screen).
“Nope” follows Otis Jr. (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald Haywood (Keke Palmer), siblings at the helm of a deserted California ranch where their late father trained horses for Hollywood movies prior to his mysterious death. But when objects start to fall from the sky and other strange events occur, they attempt to cash in on the unexplained phenomenon and record evidence of suspected extraterrestrial activity with the help of — who else? — Fry’s Electronics employee Angel Torres (Brandon Perea) and skilled filmmaker Antlers Holst (Michael Wincott).
“This could be an opportunity. I’m talking rich and famous for life,” Palmer says to a dubious Kaluuya as they walk through the aisles of the now-defunct store in the trailer.
“There’s plenty of videos of flying s—t online,” Kaluuya responds.
“Ain’t nobody going to get what we going to get,” Palmer insists. “The money shot. Undeniable proof of aliens on camera.”
Check out the full trailer below:

Founded in Silicon Valley in 1985, Fry’s Electronics announced it would close all 30 of its existing locations in February 2021, and filming for “Nope” was underway later that summer. The store in the trailer bears the unmistakable (and apropos) 1950s sci-fi theme of the Burbank outpost, though it’s unclear whether the movie was actually filmed there or if the interior was replicated on a Los Angeles sound stage. (SFGATE reached out to Universal for confirmation but did not hear back by time of publication.)
I'm glad NOPE will act as a time capsule - capturing the majesty that was once FRY'S for posterity. Goodbye, you strange beautiful electronics stores. pic.twitter.com/rHd1KFnHtR
It’s not the first time one of Peele’s films has had a striking Bay Area connection. His critically acclaimed hit “Us” showed off the dark side of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, while the score featured Oakland rap duo Luniz’s “I Got 5 on it.” And last year, Nia DaCosta’s remake of “Candyman” produced by Peele starred Oakland-raised actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
“Nope” premieres in theaters July 22.

“Ain’t nobody going to get what we going to get,” Palmer insists. “The money shot. Undeniable proof of aliens on camera.”

Founded in Silicon Valley in 1985, Fry’s Electronics announced it would close all 30 of its existing locations in February 2021, and filming for “Nope” was underway later that summer. The store in the trailer bears the unmistakable (and apropos) 1950s sci-fi theme of the Burbank outpost, though it’s unclear whether the movie was actually filmed there or if the interior was replicated on a Los Angeles sound stage. (SFGATE reached out to Universal for confirmation but did not hear back by time of publication.)
I'm glad NOPE will act as a time capsule - capturing the majesty that was once FRY'S for posterity. Goodbye, you strange beautiful electronics stores. pic.twitter.com/rHd1KFnHtR
It’s not the first time one of Peele’s films has had a striking Bay Area connection. His critically acclaimed hit “Us” showed off the dark side of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, while the score featured Oakland rap duo Luniz’s “I Got 5 on it.” And last year, Nia DaCosta’s remake of “Candyman” produced by Peele starred Oakland-raised actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
“Nope” premieres in theaters July 22.

Terraria 1.4.4 update finally adds equipment loadouts - PCGamesN
The Terraria 1.4.4 update Labor of Love is finally adding one much-requested feature, allowing players to save their equipment loadouts to quickly switch gear

The Terraria 1.4.4 update is truly a Labor of Love, it seems – equipment loadouts, another much-requested feature, are confirmed for the next major Terraria patch. The option to quickly change out your gear loadout on the fly is one that Terraria players have been asking about for a long time, and the next update to the crafting game will finally give them that option.
Terraria programmer and lead developer Yorai ‘Yoraiz0r’ Omer shared the feature in a post on Twitter. Yorai says that the new gear loadouts allow for “more fishing and fighting, less inventory management!” In addition, players will be able to allocate distinct vanity options to each loadout, so you can match your fashion to the various activities you’re intending to undertake in.
Crucially, this includes your accessory slots as well as your armour pieces. This makes it very viable to set up the exact trinkets and gear you need to optimise for whatever you happen to be doing. For example, you can now kit out one loadout with your fishing line, angler earring, and tackle box to maximise your fish catching potential, while another loadout might feature the paint sprayer, extendo-grip, cement mixer, and brick layer to help with construction.
This will undoubtedly be hugely welcome among fans of the indie game, who have previously had to manually swap all of their equipped gear out when switching from exploration to fishing or combat, each of which usually requires its own set of armour and accessories. The ability to change your gear out on the fly will make general exploration a lot faster, and should make undertaking regular activities like catching the fish of the day feel much less like busywork.
It also might free players up for more cosmetic experimentation, too. One popular technique to get around the inventory space required to carry multiple gear sets is to put a second set of armour into your ‘vanity slots,’ which overwrite the visual appearance of each equipped gear piece with your chosen vanity ones. This frees up inventory space but means that you will always look like you’re wearing the armour set you’re keeping stored in the vanity slots.

In the replies to the original post, players ask whether this addition is “The Thing” that lead developer Andrew ‘Redigit’ Spinks has been teasing, to which he responds, “That’s the other The Thing.” It seems like there are still plenty more secrets in the works then – rather disconcertingly, Spinks says he is now also contemplating the possibility of adding “poo blocks” to the game.
Also confirmed to be on the way to the co-op game as part of the 1.4.4 Labor of Love update are a wolf necklace that evokes The Legend of Zelda, and an update to the endgame Ankh Shield accessory that has fans split on how it should be implemented.
