ONE PRIZE is an Annual Design and Science Award to Promote Green Design in Cities.
Organized by:
ONE Lab Educational Facilities at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
The renovation of building 128 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is an exciting moment for Brooklyn's renaissance. A massive
industrial facility, with an enormous open space, natural light, and infrastructure for heavy industry will be transformed
into a center for innovation, with state-of-the art digital fabrication facilities, and a combination of tenant-occupied and
shared work spaces. Our goal for the ONE Lab "Smart Dock" is to give a relatively small amount of dedicated space
both flexibility and high symbolic value, to distribute a network of smaller "docks" in the shared areas, and to have the
possibility of holding temporary events and exhibitions.
While our actual resources are limited, and the space we end up renting will most likely be the area outlined in red on
our documents, we encourage you to think "big" at some level, to engage some of ONE Labs, social, environmental,
and technical goals. This competition is at heart a competition of ideas, not a narrowly defined architectural brief.
We have placed all the competition documentation online, and it is now available for anyone to see or download.
Questions and Answers will also be posted. We encourage students, professionals, and inventive individuals from
any field to register for the competition.
See all finalists here
Video by Nicholas Gervasi and Jesslyn Guntur
ONE Lab is seeking design proposals for the Smart Dock that are both symbolic and buildable . The design should
symbolize the ideas and values of ONE Lab: Interdisciplinary learning, studio-based design, collaborative space, DIY
making, hacking. The Smart Dock should address the future of learning environments that inflects the trajectory of
experimental design schools into the new spaces of socio-ecological design in times of climate change.
Competition entries should develop strategies for the identity for ONE Lab as the educational and public component
of this vibrant center for design and science, with interfaces to state-of-the art equipment and a network of creative
and entrepreneurial affiliates.
As part of the transformation of the Brooklyn Navy Yard into a green technology and sustainable manufacturing
complex, ONE Lab, a new school for design and science, will establish a collaborative teaching facility and public
outreach center for socio-ecological design, to open in 2015.
The ONE Lab Smart Dock will located inside the Navy Yard's newly-renovated Building 128 -- an 84,000 square foot
former shipbuilding factory, which is being transformed into a high-tech center for design, prototyping, and new
manufacture. Entrepreneurs, educators, and businesses in disciplines ranging from additive manufacturing, biotech,
advanced robotics, architecture, and industrial design will work alongside one another in this unique space.
The ONE Lab Smart Dock will include spaces for lectures, events, and design studios for approximately thirty
graduate level students. It will function both as a visual reference and spatial matrix for ONE Lab, a unique
interdisciplinary research laboratory for industrial design, synthetic biology, landscape ecology, art, architecture, and
master planning, The Dock will be part of the communal core of work environments in the Brooklyn Navy Yard's New
Lab innovation facility, which will be accessible to a variety of creative people and allow them to share equipment, like
laser cutters and three-dimensional printers.
Because of its location and history, the Navy Yard facility will serve as a launching point for both theoretical and
practical work that addresses smart design and the redevelopment of industrial and waterfront sites in New York and
other cities worldwide.
The Smart Dock is to be built within the building envelope of the overall renovation and engage it in imaginative and
productive ways. It should include approximately 2,000 sf of (interior) dedicated space as well as (approx. 2,000)
additional borrowed / transformable space inside the building. The Dock should provide studio / workspace for 30
students, office space for 8-10 faculty / administrators, as well as pin up / presentation / exhibition and event space
(s). There should be some additional research facilities, as well as lounge space / furnishings. A lab/kitchen and
eating space should be part of the program. Lighting, ample data and power should be provided, and possibilities for
projection of images should be integral to the concept. Capacities for transformation and flexible use will be
encouraged. The Smart Dock will not need climate control or its own WC facilities, as these will part of the renovation
of the existing structure. Some secondary elements can be located in the courtyard, but these are not required.

"The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating man and women who are capable of doing new
things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and
discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered."

Really Rubbish Racing: "Ex Lucis Viridis ad Vexillum Caeruleum" - From the Green Lights, to the Blue Flag. We race for fun because we're not very good."
Founded in June 2011, Really Rubbish Racing is a gridfull of sim racers running the gambit from "worrying awful" to "not too bad". We like nothing more than living out our motorsport dreams through a tellybox or computer monitor. For over 3 years we've been enjoying clean, fun racing with a championship-style structure, things not often found in serious clubs or public multiplayer lobbies. For 2015 we'll be racing Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3 and various PC racing sims, most notably Race 07. There are no plans to move competiton onto the new generation of consoles. Previously we've focused on Forza Motorsport as well as ventures into Codemasters F1 series and Race Driver: Grid. All you could possibly want to know about the club can be found in the various links to the left and below, including our past seasons, which have included everything from Touring Cars, GT Endurance Races and 80's Retro Classics to Demolition Derbies, Oval Racing and full length Grands Prix, and lots more besides.

uhhh.. Just exactly what did he say....? Steven Chu U.S. Secretary of Energy on Gas Prices.
Steven Chu, the U.S. Secretary of Energy. "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe,"
Some criticize the President for having no Energy Policy. I firmly disagree. I think he has a policy and it is well into effect and going strong.
President Obama's dream for this Country for Green Energy may be laudable and even I will give him kudos for wanting it. However, those dreams
are quickly turning into a nightmare for Millions of Americans that have to commute everyday to earn a living.
President Obama backed the wrong Horse and has cost us over $24 Billion dollars in his "Clean-tech" loan program so far and is expected to lose
even more in the following years.
Another issue is Ken Salazar's moratorium on new Uranium mines for the next 20 years, a source of power for advanced Nuclear Power generation plants. At every turn this administration
is either hobbling the Oil market or frustrating private investors attempts to invest in alternative energy.
So what can the President do? Well for one thing make better decisions about energy and the future of this Country. Another is change the rhetoric he and his Cabinet issues almost daily.
Such a change would help correct the futures market.
"Last week saw more than 350,000 gasoline contracts were opened (each contract represents 1,000 barrels of oil) as hedge funds and commodity investors placed heavy bets that the price at the pump will continue climbing. Traders bet $10 billion more that prices would increase, than that they would fall, which represents the third-largest skew of all time", according to Tom Kloza, president of Oil Price Information Service, as quoted by John Schoen of MSNBC.
One sure fire way to drive down the cost of oil would be catch the speculators betting on higher prices, when the real world price drops.This would force them to sell their over-bid oil on the open market and thus reduce the end cost to the consumer.
All this of course assumes he actually wanted to drop the price of gas for Americans. We must all remember what he said...
"Jun 10, 2009 ... "Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket," Obama told the Chronicle "
President Obama has no such plans to lower cost. He needs cost to go higher. The only way his dream of "Green" Fuels can be priced competitively is for Petroleum fuels to skyrocket.
So does President Obama have an Energy plan. Well yes he does and the current prices reflect that the plan is working very well indeed.
Once again the President's energy policy affects the rest of us..
Senate sends message to Obama on Keystone
"Thursday's squeaker of a Senate vote on the Keystone XL pipeline serves both as a warning to President Barack Obama that a majority of both houses of Congress supports the pipeline and as encouragement to Republicans to keep pushing the issue.
Obama had personally lobbied Senate Democrats with phone calls urging them to oppose an amendment to the highway bill that would fast-track the Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline. And as it turned out, he needed every bit of their help.
In all, 11 Democrats joined 45 Republicans to support the pipeline. Only the fact that 60 votes were needed for passage saved the White House from an embarrassing defeat."
Even though most of America wants it.. and even a Bi-Partisan group of Senators want it.. Obama brought out the knee-cappers, arm twisters and bribes and got just enough Democrats to still vote no.
So just when will the President start working for the rest of us?
So just when will the President start working for the rest of us?.
Obama will only "work" with you if you worked on funneling money to his campaign. I'm sure Bill Mahr will be getting his ambassadorship any day now.
Obama gives administration jobs to some big fundraisers
Obama campaigned on what he called "the most sweeping ethics reform in history" and has frequently criticized the role of money in politics.
More than half of Obama's 47 biggest fundraisers, those who collected at least $500,000 for his campaign, have been given administration jobs. Nine more have been appointed to presidential boards and committees.
Obama has appointed 59 ambassadors who were not career Foreign Service officers, and of those, 40 percent were bundlers.
Obama hired bundler Steve Spinner as a liaison in the Energy Department. According to internal e-mails turned over in a congressional investigation, Spinner pressed for staff members to finalize a government loan for Solyndra, the now-shuttered solar company in which another campaign bundler was a major investor. Spinner, according to the Obama administration, did not make any decisions affecting Solyndra.
So much for "hope and change". This "president" doles out taxpayer money only to those that help him. Obama is nothing but a miserable little dictator.
Maybe I can come up with a Million or so and get some face time.
Well the answer is yes and no. Oil production on private lands have gone up.
However the real story is what is the President doing for us as it turns out not all that much.
In the last 3 1/2 years under this administration:
1. Oil Leases on Federal Lands are down 44%
2. Permits and New Drilling down 39%
3. Deep water drilling permits 3 year low down 57%
4. AK drilling permits-Denied again... Could produce 27 Billion Barrels of oil.
So exactly what has President Obama or his policies done to ease gas prices... Nothing. In fact his policies specifically his Stealth Energy Policy has made gas prices higher.
This of course is his intent... After all the Government now picks winners and losers in the "Free" Market and Obama has picked "Green" Energy as the winner... at any cost.
If you think oil prices rest on the presidency, then you'll never be able to help solve the problem. Gas was cheap when Bush came into office, got expensive, was cheap again, and now is back up under Obama.
The president isn't controlling gas prices and doesn't have much ability to make major changes.
This truly is a case of supply and demand.
The USA has 5% of the world's population, yet we consume more than 25% of the world's energy.
We simply do not have enough oil and uranium to provide our own energy. We do have a lot of coal, but not a lot of oil.
Tar sands, shale, etc. are viable, but only when oil costs are high. If oil and gas come down in price then nobody will be able to make a profit processing oil from sand.
Friends, learn to adjust. If you really think gasoline is going to go to $2.50 a gallon again (at least longer than for a few months) you're in denial.
Gasoline is a deal at $4.00 a gallon, is a deal at $5.00 a gallon, and is fair at $6.00 a gallon.
You actually can do something about it: drive a smaller car, live closer to work, carpool, etc.
We can approve all the domestic drilling and pipelines we want (and probably should, but with strict environmental and safety regulations), but it's not going to make a huge difference.
Think about it: Gas is still cheaper than milk.
You have bought into the "Progressive" lie that we don't have any oil/Energy lefts so we have to bend over and take it for "Green" Energy.
The Bakken formation, Alaskan reserves and not to mention the find, accidently mind you, of the major Natural gas dome in the Gulf, any of which has been estimated to be able to supply the US needs for at least a hundred years.
Gas Prices are directly tied to the price of oil... Now I know the usual arguments are as follows:
Even if we drill now it will be 10 years before we see a drop of oil...
Even if that was correct and it's not.. If we had of started 10 years ago we would see that oil now wouldn't we?
Oil is a World Commodity and no amount of drilling will affect the cost
Oil prices are set on speculation. Two factors effect this. One is the World supply..How secure is it..How much of it will be produced.
1. World production has fallen. Not because oil fields are becoming "dry" solely but also production facilities are maxed out. Country's like Venezuela have Nationalized their Oil Production and the predictable results were inevitable. Their production is at or around 50% of past capacity and is still falling.
2. World Oil prices depends on a secure source of energy. Unfortunately much of World oil production resides in Dictatorships and/or Islamic regimes. These regimes are dependently undependable. Every time Iran rattles their sabers speculation increases. Thus oil per barrel prices rise on the expectation that oil production may be decreased or hindered.
The other factor that affects cost of oil is the US Dollar...
1. Monetizing the Debt-Oil is purchased with the dollar Worldwide. Inflating the Money supply causes a decrease in the "value" or buying power of the dollar. The lower devalued dollar means it takes more of them to purchase a barrel of oil.
Mike-We have the energy reserves here within our territorial boundaries to supply a reliable source of energy for a minimum of 50 years.
I will site you one example of what happens when the American people and the Government both decide to do something about oil prices.
Remember the 70's? During the Carter administration OPEC threatened an oil embargo. Also at the same time environmentalist and the Carter administration where claiming we were at peak oil and no more would be found or produced.
The predictable results were high gas prices and gas shortages. Our economy suffered greatly and was one of the defining factors that made the Carter administration to be considered by many as a failed Government.
However, Public sentiment turned against the administration and forced them to reconsider their position on domestic drilling. Once OPEC saw we were determined to use our own resources the price of oil dropped overnight and the gas shortages ceased almost immediately.
You see Mike IF the American people and it's Government worked together to develop the resources we have it would stabilize the market, force speculation into a more neutral zone.
So can the President do something about Gas Prices.. Well yes he can. He can promote the growth of domestic drilling AND stop the rhetoric that is causing the speculators to run wild.
The History of OPEC.. are they working with us or against us and do we really want to remain dependent on Countries and entities that "hate" us?
The easiest way to see if an administration has a favorable Energy Policy is to look at the permits issued or not issued.
3 Years ago:
7 Deep Water permits where issued on average PER MONTH
2 Deep Water permits issued on average PER MONTH
3 Years ago:
15 Shallow Water permits where issued on average PER MONTH
2 Shallow Water permits issued on average PER MONTH
3 Years ago:
On average it took 60 days to approve a new permit
On average it now takes 105 days to approve a new permit
The Obama Apologist are all out saying that the President can not lower the cost of gasoline at the pump. In a sense they are correct even though then candidate Obama charged then President Bush's Policies affected the price, but then I tend to agree with most of what Obama says and disagree with most of what he does.
So can the President lower the cost of gas at the pump... Well yes and no.
Yes, the President can take actions that helps ease speculators actions and take steps that increase domestic oil, as well as, take steps like reduce or remove the Federal taxes on Gas.
No, not if the President's goal is to increase the price of gas so that his "Green" Energy program is on a more competitive level with Petroleum.
Watch the video, and you will see what a lying, sniveling, hypocritical crook Obama is.
So. Back in 2007, Barack Obama promised to do something about these $3.50/gallon gas prices, and apparently he did: we're now at $3.80/gallon gas prices. And notice how the trend lines are going? The price goes up a bit, goes down a bit, but generally ratchets up over time. It takes a full-fledged fiscal crisis to knock down demand to the point where prices significantly drop… and even that didn't take. All of which means that the price is probably going to go up in the near future, too. Call it… a Democrat tax. No, better: an Obamatax. We seem to have spawned a lot of these unnecessary brakes on the economy, lately.
Barack Obama and the negative decrease of gas prices since 2008.
There's a plan; really?
BTW, hello from "left" coast.
He said it himself the cost of energy would... SKYROCKET..
He wasn't lying this time.. He really meant it.
I find it absolutely the height of hilarity that the very same politicians that just four years ago blamed Bush for the price of gas are now getting back in front of any camera they can find and saying Obama is not responsible for high gas prices.
I heard a Japanese couple was shocked yesterday at the Capital when Harry Reid jumped in front of them while they were filming their vacation and proclaimed that the cost of gas was Bush's fault.
"Because of these new standards for cars, and trucks they're going to go further and use less fuel every year, and that means pretty soon you'll be able to fill up your car every two weeks instead of every week, and over time that saves you or a typical family, about $8,000 a year."
The typical family uses just over 1000 gallon of gasoline per year and spends approximately $3000 in fuel cost, not $16,000 Obama thinks we do.
...and Bush was the dumb one.
In some lame attempt to denigrate a former president that is no longer alive in order to make a point, Obama flat out lies (again) to the American people. Obama isn't fit to be a garbage collector, much less lead the country.
Obama is not a man. He's the village idiot and an total embarassment to this great country.
"One of my predecessors, President Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the telephone: 'It's a great invention but who would ever want to use one?'" Obama said. "That's why he's not on Mt. Rushmore."
Hayes was not only the first president to have a telephone in the White House, but he was also the first to use the typewriter, and he had Thomas Edison come to the White House to demonstrate the phonograph. "So I think he was pretty much cutting edge," Card insisted, "maybe just the opposite of what President Obama had to say there."
Baraka Obama is not fit to shine President Haye's shoes. What a sorry POS
"The US has only 2% of the world's oil reserves we can't drill our way out of this." Obama
Well once again Obama's math is just a little fuzzy...
That 2% figure he likes to site is the 22.3 Billion barrels of oil that are proven reserves. The EIA report clearly states this is a small subset of recoverable resources, because they only count oil that companies are currently drilling for in existing fields.
When you include oil shale we have approx 1.4 TRILLION barrels of recoverable oil or enough to meet all U.S. oil needs for about the next 200 years, without any imports.
So just where did Obama learn math anyway?
"Don't tell me we're not drilling! We're drilling all over the country!" – President Obama, today.
The Institute for Energy Research: "Oil leases, permits and wells on federal lands (where the President's policies have the most control were down 44%, 39% and 39% (respectively) in 2009 – 2010 as compared to 2007 – 2008."
The NYTimes' "Greenwire" blog: "Oil production on federal lands fell by 100 million barrels in 2011 from 2010...Production of natural gas on public lands and waters in fiscal 2011 dropped 11 percent from the previous year, according to Interior Department data. Oil production dipped nearly 14 percent...
And from the Natural Truth: Yes it's true that overall oil production is up under Obama, but thanks almost entirely to energy development on private property in places like North Dakota. While private energy development is surging, the White House has taken public onshore production from 2,416 new leases in 2008 down to 1,308 in 2010.
And, according to the House Natural Resources Committee, Obama's own budget calls for revenue from energy leases to fall by 72 percent before he's through.
I am still waiting for the usual Obama apologist to come out and say I am wrong... cue the crickets..........
Is Obama telling the truth???
Not even close.
Obviously our President has an addiction he is hooked on Gambling. He was out yesterday jonesing for the big roll.
Like a typical addict he keeps putting down the cash after one bad roll after another but he just can't stop.
Once again he doubles down on Solar, Wind and Geothermal in what he calls an "All of the above" strategy that includes everything but Petroleum.
Even though one failed gamble after another keeps dogging his bets. The very plant he was at yesterday only had 10 employees even though they have received MILLIONS in subsidies from the Government.
The one big problem in this intervention. They usually never work until the person goes flat broke and wants to recover.
Obama is using our money. As long as he is President he will keep using our dollars trying to hit that one big score.

Fun Cooking Classes in Arkansas
With the weather cooling down, Kristie and Tiffany are very excited about the next installment of the Lookout Point Cooking School. Soups—from Breakfast to Supper—will teach students all the details of making some of the Inn's favorite soups on Friday, November 14.
For breakfast soups, students will learn about the classic Ray's Strawberry Soup and the newest cousin to that, Peach Soup. Both make for a refreshing start to the day! Other soups that you can learn hands-on include Baked Potato Soup and two different kinds of chili (both traditional and chicken and white bean chili). A cooking installment at Lookout Point would not be complete without taste-testing the products and enjoying laughs over lunch!
The space for students in the kitchen is limited, and it helps to create a more helpful learning environment. Kristie and Tiffany make the time to assist each student in every aspect of creating the dishes, with useful tips and time-saving techniques. Plus, the Lookout Point Cooking School definitely helps guests make new friends!
To reserve your spot in the next installment, call 501.525.6155. The cost is $50 per person, or $40 if you are staying at the Inn. Those staying at the Inn can look forward to a gourmet breakfast in the morning before the class begins, and a luxurious bed to relax in after the class has finished. You can reserve your stay online or call our Hot Springs Bed & Breakfast for more information.

On Sunday I sat down with the directors and subjects of the SXSW in-competition documentary Pelada, about one couple's journey around the world examining the regional differences and similarities in soccer pickup games across the globe.
There's something significant about my notes situation as the credits rolled Matthew Vaughn's high-energy comic adaptation. There was only one note to be written, and it came only at the end. My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles notepad was blank, except for three words: "That was fun."
Interview: 'Trash Humpers' Director Harmony Korine
Interviews By Landon Palmer on April 4, 2010 | Comments (3)Like his films, Harmony Korine himself possesses a spontaneous, incomparable personality. I sat down for a phone interview with the filmmaker last week to talk Trash Humpers, 'mistakist' filmmaking, Ricky Martin, Jonas guts film distribution, and the nice rack on the state of Tennessee.
It's difficult to know exactly what to do with Trash Humpers. It seems irrelevant and futile to take out my critical toolbox and attempt an assessment of character development, story, and visual style for a film that so clearly intends to pursue none of these things.
SXSW Review: The Myth of the American Sleepover
Movie Reviews By Luke Mullen on March 30, 2010 | Comments (1)The Myth of the American Sleepover is a subtle, some would say simple film, that attempts to capture those impressions, those memories of moments that seemed so important at the time, chasing after them like a kid trying to catch a lightning bug.
Life 2.0 is a fascinating documentary about the world of Second Life. For those who may not be familiar with it, Second Life is a virtual world. The easiest description would be to call it a video game, and while it shares many characteristics with video games, it's not really a game. There are no goals or quests, no achievements or scores kept.
I've gotten a bit tired of John C. Reilly doing so many comedies recently. Don't get me wrong, he's a damn funny man who elevates everything he's in, but I've been increasingly afraid that a man with as strong of dramatic chops as he will continually fall into typecasting through the short-term memory of Hollywood. Enter Cyrus, the first high-profile, star-studded effort by those kooky mumblecore kids Jay and Mark Duplass.
SXSW Review: Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on March 28, 2010 | Comments (4)Are you tired of negative hillbilly stereotypes in horror films? I didn't know I was. As a southern-born gent and lifelong film geek, whether I've wanted to or not, I've continued to possess a keen awareness of how the people of my region are represented in film.
Non-fiction filmmaker Miao Wang was fortunate enough to be at a critical place during a critical moment. She was in Beijing in the months leading up to the 2008 Summer Olympics, and her feature documentary Beijing Taxi looks at the massive transitions the city goes through, as well as the major implications of the event on a global scale, from the perspective of the city's taxi drivers.
SXSW Review: And Everything is Going Fine
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on March 28, 2010 | Comments (3)It's rare when documenting a famous subject who is no longer alive to speak about himself that one encounters a subject who said as much about his own life as Spalding Gray. Steven Soderbergh, who documented Gray's last filmed monologue with 1996's Gray's Anatomy, thankfully chose the most natural and obvious approach that one should when making a retrospective doc on Gray by constructing it solely through juxtaposed snippets of the entertaining, insightful monologues that made him famous.
Interview: 'Leaves of Grass' Star Edward Norton and Director Tim Blake Nelson
Features By Landon Palmer on March 28, 2010 | Comments (2)During SXSW I sat in with 9 other online film journalists for a roundtable discussion with actor-producer Edward Norton and writer-director-actor-producer Tim Blake Nelson as they discussed their new film Leaves of Grass. We covered an array of topics, including Menander, Zionist Tulsa Jews, why Rounders is a comedy, and noodling with Keri Russell (not what you think).
Some documentaries serve as a thesis, arguing for or against a given perspective. Others are critical or historical inquiries into a given incident or situation. Still others are character pieces detailing a portrait of a unique human being. It's rare that one finds a documentary that serves all three functions, and does it well. But that's exactly what The Canal Street Madam is: one-part character study, one part argumentative thesis and one part historical inquiry. Fortunately for us, all its parts are compelling.
Officially Cool: The SXSW Midnight Bumper, A Festival Highlight
Features By Neil Miller on March 25, 2010 | Comments (2)Earlier today I was directed to the Vimeo page of filmmaker Joe Nicolosi. You may have never heard of him, nor are you likely to have seen his work. However, I've seen his work. Over and over and over again. In the form of this excellent SXSW bumper video.
As is the case every year at this time, we need to wrap things up. Much to our dismay, SXSW cannot go on forever. And while reviews will continue to post in the next week as we get caught up on screeners and anything we haven't written up from the actual fest, we're confident that we can present you with our picks for the 15 Best Films of SXSW 2010.
SXSW Review: Le Donk and Scor-Zay-Zee
Movie Reviews By Brian Salisbury on March 23, 2010 | Comments (1)If you've never heard of director Shane Meadows, I highly suggest rushing out and renting, if nothing else, Dead Man's Shoes. His films often employ a healthy dose of humor, but I don't believe anyone would characterize him as a comedy director; enter Le Donk and Scor-Zay-Zee.
SXSW: Tucker and Dale, Thunder Soul Win Audience Awards
Movie News By Neil Miller on March 22, 2010 | Comments (2)SXSW 2010 just won't end. Sure, the final films screened Saturday night and the annual softball tournament took place yesterday, but work is still being done. Here at Reject HQ, we're still watching screeners trying to find little gems that we might have missed during the week. Over at the HQ of the festival, they are still tallying up awards ballots. Today they announced the final round of Audience Awards for the 2010 edition of South by Southwest.
I knew very little about this film, or the subject of the film. Needless to say, I had no expectations. When I walked away from the film however, I didn't have to think long to know that it was one of the more enjoyable biographical films that I have seen in quite a while.
It's incredibly difficult to take a look at terrorism (especially Islamic terrorism) and laugh at it. Four Lions does just that, and does it with flying colors.
SXSW Interview: Director and Cast of The Taqwacores
Features By Brian C. Gibson on March 21, 2010 | Comments (2)This is another one of those films with an interesting subject as well a title that isn't so easy to pronounce. Neither of these facts keep The Taqwacores from being a coming of age tale that takes a fascinating look at a subculture that many people have never been exposed to.
With World's Largest, filmmakers Amy C. Elliott and Elizabeth Donius have created an exhaustive look at the world of quirky small-town America. The kinds of towns you may never heard of, despite their best efforts. Places like Strawberry Point, Iowa, home of the world's largest strawberry.

Re: Great Guns for Cycling!
Originally Posted by jeepguy32
Hi Don! Good catch! I wavered over whether or not to include the difference between single action and double action in my first posting. I decided to leave it out deliberately. I did not want to make all of this information any more confusing than necessary for someone new to the concepts. I frankly don't think the difference is that "crucial" at this level of introduction, because a good instructor (remember I said for newbies to get one of those) will explain the differences thoroughly. Plus, the vast majority of CCW focused products work exactly the way I explained. I seriously doubt that the Ruger Vaquero will become the hot ticket on the "concealed cycling" circuit.
By the way, I have deliberately left out a book's worth of knowledge because I don't wish to talk over the audience's heads. I hope this thread will prompt creative discussion and learning. If right-out-of-the-gate I start going on about terminal slug behavior of the good old .357 magnum "FBI Load" when discharged into standard mix ballistic gelatin, then all I'd be doing is spouting off for my own ego. That would conflict with what I'd like to accomplish. I appreciate your comments, though! Feel free to explain the differences in single vs. double-action in your own words. I think your contribution would be valuable to the thread. Take care! P.S. - I freely admit I know nothing of the areodynamics of a concealed handgun traveling at greater than 20 MPH. |
When it comes to streamlining the Czech VZ 52 has the advantage over any "Slab-sided" auto and would probably give it's carrier a 4.5 second advantage during a 50 mile TT compared with your more modern, but altogether chunkier revolver.

I'll be working on two projects this summer. The first of these projects is my Master's thesis, "Push-based Signal-function Functional Reactive Programming" supervised by Matthew Fluet, materials for which will be moving to my domain. The second is a project on Subtle Gaze Direction for Video under the supervision of Reynold Bailey which is counting as a co-op for me.
Master's Thesis
Currently I have nearly completed the FRP system which I will describe in my master's thesis. Remaining work includes writing demonstration and testing programs, formalizing the semantics somewhat, writing my thesis, submitting a condensed version to a conference (The ICFP Student Research Competition and IFL are current considerations), and defense.
Subtle Gaze Direction for Video
Currently the program for this project is capable of displaying a sequence of gaze direction queues in a video, using the MWM illusion. However, it does not yet have a way to integrate eye-tracking information to hide the illusion when the user's eye moves toward it. The program is currently quite poorly engineered, due to its ancestry, an NVidia® CUDA® video decoding demo. I am considering a re-write of the program to avoid these issues.

Pro style tip: H&M is played out. The new hotness for stylish European men's clothing is Scotch & Soda.
The Dutch line just opened a new retail store at U Village — their first in the Northwest — and it's set to be your go-to shop for unique, classic looks.
They're so serious about what they do that they fly every employee to Amsterdam for training so they'll be able to talk about the ins and outs of every outfit.
The new "Sir Safari Pop" collection mixes slim, elegant cuts with envelope-pushing patterns to create a look that's professional and progressive.
For a more casual look, the Amsterdams Blauw collection is perfect for Seattle winters. Quilted hunting shirts and dark indigo denim jackets will keep you chic on the rainiest of days.
But then there are regular days, when basics like silky-soft cotton blend T-shirts and preppy button-downs are executed perfectly and will never go out of style.
Unlike those YOLO bracelets.

Ballin: Can't choose between Kevin Durant's 51 and eight boards, Russell Westbrook's 40 and nine assists or Serge Ibaka's triple-double of points, rebounds and blocks. Lucky for me, they play for the same team so we can give them a collective fist pound.
Not so much: Hedo Turkoglu played 25 minutes, took four shots and missed them all, and canceled out his three assists with his three turnovers. An actual human corpse would have had the same effect on the game.
Long: This was cool.
I'm still not sure how that ball didn't rocket off the backboard, but I'm really glad it didn't.
Speaking of rocketing off the backboard: Serge Ibaka had more blocks than 18 of the 19 non-Thunder teams who played yesterday.
Also: Ibaka's 11 blocks were the third time this season that he's blocked 10 or more shots in a game, which hasn't happened since Shawn Bradley in 1996-97.
Hustle hard: Nick Collison said he wanted a YouTube mixtape of his best hustle plays set to Rick Ross music, so that's what he got.
OK, now do Brian Cardinal's best defensive rotation to some Schoolboy Q.
Word aapp: Ersan Ilyasova went for 29 points and 25 rebounds, joining Dwight Howard as the only player with a 20-25 game this season. Jon Brockman called it "Ersanity," because he makes jokes like my dad.
No: Nice try with that sissy finger roll, Ricky Rubio.
One second you're the next George Gervin, but then you're the next Reggie Miller.
Mr. Game Winnersons: Not quite as cool as a last second three, but game-winning free throws are still pretty ballin.
Other things: Here's the Jeremy Lin "Saturday Night Live" sketch if you live in the United States and haven't seen it … Pau Gasol to the Bulls for Carlos Boozer and a bottle of scalp paint is definitely going to happen, I'm so sure … LeBron James hired Arnold Schwarzenegger's old public relations strategist who did a great job with that whole covering up a child out of wedlock thing … Rajon Rondo is just a really cool guy who does really cool things … We've got The Fix coming up shortly, then nothing for the rest of the day since it's a holiday in Canada and America. Go have fun with your family or presidents, depending on location

What does an agent do for me?
To be taken seriously by any major publishing house, a recognized and respected agent must first be acquired. An agent's job does not end with getting you the deal. We have to make sure that your contract protects your interests. We have to make sure your relationship with the publishing houses in all the territories your work is sold is going smoothly. And most importantly, your agent is your guide and advocate. It is our job to know what editors are looking for, which editor would be best to submit to, and how to negotiate the best deal possible.
Does your agency charge reading fees?
If an agent asks you to pay money upfront – run! No legitimate agency will ask you for money before they make a sale. Our commissions are based on advances and royalties from sales only.
What are your submission guidelines and how do I frame my query?
The best way to attract our attention is to be straightforward. Start by telling us the title of your manuscript and what it's about. Then tell us about yourself. You don't have to have related academic credentials, or have been published previously to be represented by us, but a brief background of who you are and why you wrote your book can give us a more complete perspective of your work. Please avoid opening lines such as "What would happen if…" or "Imagine…" as this generally doesn't help to get to the real content of what you are pitching. Please also do your research around our website. Know which agent might be the best fit for your work, and how to spell that agent's name correctly. Please submit all of this in the body of your email – no attachments – and make sure it is double-spaced and in 12-point font. We like the additional tips found here at Writer's Relief. Finally, please do not drop by personally to hand us your submission. We never accept queries delivered in this manner.
I emailed a query but I never heard back! Why?
The email to use is email@example.com. We receive so many submissions a day that we just don't have the time to respond to the unsolicited queries (be they via email, phone, or mail without a SASE) that aren't right for us. If you don't hear from us within three months, please expect that you won't hear from us at all. Please don't send queries through regular mail, or leave voicemails regarding queries, unless we've already been in touch with you first. Email your submissions as per our submission guidelines only.
What if I'm already represented? Can I switch agents?
Sometimes the agent you start out with is the agent you'll have throughout your career. Sometimes it doesn't work out that way, due to a variety of reasons. If you're thinking of making a change, and would like to talk to us, we'd love to hear from you. And we'll tell you honestly if we think we're a good fit.
I am already published under my own name, but I'd like to start something else under a pseudonym. Do people do this? Does it work?
If you're known for one kind of book, but you'd like to try another, a pseudonym might well be the way to go. Sometimes authors feel freer and more creative writing as 'another' person.
What about film and television rights? Do you represent those as well? And what about foreign rights?
We don't handle entertainment rights, but we make it our business to know the best agents who do, and work individually with them on a case by case basis. Our translation rights are handled by The Marsh Agency in London, England.
Do you handle original screenplay? Do you handle illustrated children's books?
No. We don't handle either of those kinds of property.

How One Drunk Driver Sent My Company To the Cloud
samzenpus posted about a year and a half ago | from the agent-of-change dept.
290snydeq writes "Andrew Oliver offers further proof that drunk driving and on-site servers don't mix. Oliver, who had earlier announced a New Year's resolution to go all-in on cloud services, had that business strategy expedited when a drunk driver, fleeing a hit-and-run, drove his SUV directly into the beauty shop next door to his company's main offices. 'Our servers were down for eight hours, and various services were intermittent for at least 12 hours. Had things been worse, we could have lost everything. Like our customers, we needed HA and DR. Moreover, we thought, maybe our critical services like email, our website, and Jira should be in a real data center. This made going all-cloud a top priority for us rather than "when we get to it."' Oliver writes, detailing his company's resultant hurry-up migration plan to 100 percent cloud services."

It depends upon the network firewall, which may block certain protocol streams, even if the port is open. Are you trying to go directly to the source, or are you using the http proxy to get a tunnel open?

It would only get some sun from an angle and full sun when the sun is directly overhead... |
Follow-Up Postings:
I planted several willows along a stream with great variations in sulight along the route. The willows with more sun did much better but some in the low light are still alive but not exactly thriving. Hard to say from my one experience what the reasons are but there it is for whatever it is worth. |

55 years ago, my husband lived in this hotel when he had a summer job working on the McCloud River Railroad. When he turned 60, we had a family reunion here, and it was delightful. But today, under new owners, it has undergone another renovation and a total transformation! The rooms are large and beautifully decorated - totally in keep-ing with the era of the hotel - and the results are most impressive. It's a charming and peaceful place. And the breakfasts are fabulous!

Photobucket Gets a Major Redesign to 'Take Back Control' of Your Photos
Photobucket–the janky-looking, but still widely-used image-hosting site once owned by News Corp–is debuting a serious overhaul for the first time in years with an emphasis on taking control of the lifecycle of your photos and videos, CEO Tom Munro told Betabeat. With a significant redesign and new privacy controls, Photobucket hopes to best Facebook, Flickr, and the like as your default storage space to organize and share photos and soon "tell stories."
Photobucket lurched towards a comeback last year when Twitter decided to use its technology to power native photo sharing. However, consumers might be more likely to associate the service, which launched in 2003, with eBay sellers or their LiveJournal or MySpace account. (The company claims that currently Photobucket, which has 10 billion photos, is second only to Facebook in terms of uploads.) Read More

Do you want to run Apple OS, Windows and Linux on your own PC?
Then Quo Computer had you in mind when they designed and built their multi-platform motherboard called the "projectQ". The projectQ, or Z77MX-QUO-AOS for short, is a motherboard that lets you build a desktop computer that can run Apple, Windows or Linux natively.
The projectQ uses a microprocessor based on Intel® Z77 chipset for Ivy Bridge CPUs. It also supports Ethernet, Thunderbolt, Ivy Bridge, CPU and GPU. The design of the motherboard includes an array of ports for added flexibility including FireWire 400 and 800, Thunderbolt, DVI, HDMI, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.
Quo Computer previously developed a number of motherboard systems that are compatible with Apple OS. The company's new goal with projectQ is to provide their customers more flexibility to work with any operating system they choose.
The company launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the projectQ. You can pre-order one of these boards through the campaign for a pledge of $219. The price doesn't sound that bad if you are looking for building your inexpensive alternative to the Apple iMac.

I've been having terrible leg cramps at night. I'm talking about getting 4/5 during an 8 hour sleep period. I've checked out the health forum for some answers to this problem of leg cramps & one of the solutions posted is to put a cake of Dail soap in your bed near your legs. Has anyone tried it? And if so, did it work? It seems like a really weird solution but at this point I'm willing to try anything, well almost anything...LOL. Thanks, Creekgirl My doctor's answer to this was to eat a banana every day & to eat a container of yogurt also. These things haven't helped at all. |

My husband tried this and it did work for a few months. It's pretty cheap to try so even if it doesn't work, you're not out much. |

I thought it was Ivory soap that is used, not Dial. Jodi- |
- Posted by phyllis__mn (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 15:17
Well, I use Ivory, but what the heck?????Also, you might want to try a little tonic water in the evening (has quinine in it). I've found that it really helps. |
My mom has sworn by this and tells everyone about it. She said it really works for her. She always has a bar of soap with her. She said any kind works. |
Didn't work... |
I had those and found out thru testing from my DR. it was a shortage of calicum. Please check it out as it could be PAD also --problems with circulation in the legs which could be heart related. |
This is one of those remedies that Dr. Gott mentions in his column a lot. It seems to work for some people. Couldn't hurt to try it. There used to be an OTC product for restless legs, but you can't get that now, Tonic water is similar. Sue |
Sometimes when I have a "sweaty" day I have unbelievable leg cramps. An energy booster called "Emer'gen-C" that the health store carries is a life-saver. It is a small package that comes in many flavors and is vitamins and minerals and potassium and more. Hot days I carry a couple packets in my car..easy to pop into a cup of water. I also have found a product called "Leg Cramps" (at the health food store) that contains quinine and usually stops them immediately. I do hope that you are not developing circulation problems. BTW, the soap trick really doesn't cost anything and is not a danger to your health, so why not try it! |
I have leg cramps often and take potassium supplements for them.Usually 2 or 3 99mg. tablets before I go to bed or if I wake up with a cramp,will alleviate the problem.Leg cramps can also be caused from drinking a lot of fluids during the day which causes depletion of potassium,calcium and magnesium through kidney function.Restoring these minerals with supplements may alleviate the cramps.DH has leg cramps too and takes a calcium,vitamin D supplement for them which helps.That supplement doesn't work for me though and the potassium doesn't work for him.Go figure!LOL So,you might try both to see which one works for you. |

I swear by it! I use Irish Spring because that is what we use. I can stand on my legs for hours in the heat and no cramps! The last time I had leg cramps is when I had to sleep on the recliner because of a chest cold - no soap that night! It works for me - I put it under the bottom sheet at the bottom of the bed - must be in my head, but it works! |
If the soap doesn't work, try getting some liquid magnesium (Magonate) from the pharmacy (I don't think you need a prescription). That is what we gave DD when she was small and had 'growing pains' in her legs. It worked wonderfully! |

My DH drinks milk for his restless leg syndrome but with his he says it is not cramps but a creepy crawling feeling or a tinglingly of both his arms and legs. He's had this for as long as I can remember. The milk helps some. When it's really bad he sleeps on the floor. Says that works somewhat. I think I'll tell him about the soap. It can't hurt. |
Folk remedies. Chamomile tea contains glycine, an amino acid that relaxes the muscles. Drink five cups (1.2 liters) daily for two weeks to relieve muscle cramps. Honey can prevent recurring foot and leg cramps during the night. Regularly take two teaspoons (10 ml) of honey with meals. Mustard and pickle juice have acetic acid, which helps produce acetylcholine, a stimulant for your leg muscles. Take a spoonful (15 ml) of mustard or a few ounces (grams) of pickle juice to prevent leg cramps. Apple cider vinegar is rich in potassium. Mix one teaspoon (5 ml) of honey and two teaspoons (10 ml) of vinegar in a glass of warm water and drink this mixture |
My mom laughed at me when I told her about putting soap under her bottom sheet but she was suffering so badly with cramps that she decided to try it. Several months later, she sheepishly admitted that it DID work. She hasn't had any leg cramps in over 6 months...and before the soap, she'd have cramps every couple of nights. She doesn't know how or why it works, but she doesn't care! |

I swear by this! I have slept with a bar of soap at the foot of my bed for over a year and it really has helped with my knee pain. I use any soap..so far they have all worked. People thought I was crazy when I heard about it on here and tole them about it...but they have tried it and mnost of them say it works. My sisters all do it and have good results. Can't hurt to try it! |

My sister swears by the bar of soap too. IF you are taking Lipitor for high cholesterol, it is known to cause leg/foot cramps. I was on Lipitor and foot cramps were horrible. Went off it for almost a year....no more cramps. Now doc has me on Zettia and so far, so good. Getting extra calcium, magnesium and potassium via supplements should help. In the hot summer heat your body is losing salt, so make sure to eat some salty things. |

Hi up-the-creek, When I saw the subject, I thought to come to refer to one person saying here last year or two years ago about using a bar of soap (I think that she used "Dial") in the bed to alleviate leg cramps. That she had been skeptical ... but, trying it, found that it worked ... so, continued to use it. I don't remember whether some others agreed - I think so. But you've had several people here testify to their successful use of it ... and the cost is much lower than that related to most medical procedures! Also, some found that it was of little or no value in their situation. Caution: if one/(some?) of your acquaintances has(ve) figured you to be a bit squirrelly ... ... don't tell 'em, O.K? I hope that you're off to a good start in this lovely new week. ole joyful |

Do you unwrap soap before you put it under the sheets? |
My doctor told me to try drinking tonic water before bed rather than taking quinine tablets. It's a tiny amount of quinine and in many cases all that's needed. I did try the tonic water and it was effective. |

I unwrap mine - I also find that I need to put a new one in every once in awhile. I was told years ago to unwrap my soaps and put it in a drawer to make it smell good - it also hardens the soap and it lasts longer in the shower. When I first started the soap, I was getting symptoms of RLS - the tingly legs - they are gone for over five years now... |
Hello All..... I sure appreciate all the input regarding the bar of soap. I tried it last night & still got the cramps. I was so hoping that it would work. I finally called my onc. doc which is what I probably should have done in the first place but I was really hoping to find a solution that didn't involve taking pills. I had just finished up a course of prednisone & he said that sometimes "in the elderly" (I'm 68) after coming off the prednisone that nighttime leg cramps develop. So that explains that! I guess to the doc I am elderly.....he's about 20/25 or looks to be anyhow....lol. He said if I wanted to try the tonic water that he didn't think it would hurt but has now put me on a med. he feels will stop them. I do take 1000 of calcium w/vit.D every day because I am very fearful of falling & breaking any of my limbs. While I was having medical problems the onc. doc took me off every vitamim that I had been taking including Evista. That was one med. that I really felt did me a lot of good because over a 4 year span I didn't lose any bone density. I am very tired of taking pills! I had to take a lot of them when having DVT, chemo, radiation & surgery. But considering the alternative to having these things & the meds. I won't complain! Again, thanks for all the input......Creekgirl |
wonder if it would work for me? i'm on a potassium restricted diet (kidney problems) think i'll try it tonight... |
Hi there, I'm new here... I have RLS, and I'm on prescribed medication that people with Parkinsons use. The first batch of pills worked perfectly, but the refill isn't working nearly as well. A neighbour mentioned that she has Restless Leg Syndrome and she SOAKS her feet in Tonic Water. I've heard of drinking tonic water but it tastes horrid to me, and it didn't stop the tingling, creepy-crawlies. I soak my feet for a few days for an hour a day and it seems to work. After a few days or so, if the tinglies come back, I'll soak again. I'll try the bar of soap as well, but when I have restless legs, the only way they stop is to go to bed! Sherry |
You can also shave the bar and put the shavings in an old sock and then use that. |
My mom who was a cook & on her feet so many hours a day-used to get leg cramps the minute she'd go to bed. Her remedy to stop them immediately? 1 tsp of baking soda in 1/2 cup of cold water-stir to dissolve most of it & chug it down! Works for me. |
I use Ivory Soap, but my sister's doctor told her to take two Tums before she ges to bed. |

Didn't work for me,and what i found out that i was getting them because of the Lovastatin the dr gave me for cholesterol.Of cours the dr didn't think that was the reason,but i did and stopped taking it.They went away in a few weeks after i stopped. So you may want to check and see if you've been taking any new meds lately. Kathi |

DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA, September 27, 2012- Volvik, the Korean golf ball company and title sponsor of the Symetra Tour's Race for the Card, awarded Mi Hyang Lee of Incheon, South Korea, with the third and final Volvik Bright and Bold Performance Award. The award recognizes the player, who plays the trademark color Volvik ball, with the lowest scoring average through the 11th and 15th events. Players had to play in a minimum of ten rounds over the five tournaments. Lee was presented a $2,500 check at the Tour's stop this week in Daytona Beach, Fla. at the Daytona Beach Invitational Presented by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
After receiving the Volvik Bright and Bold Performance check, Lee graciously donated a generous $1,000 to the LPGA Foundation.
"The award not only gives the player motivation but it also recognizes her achievement on the Symetra Tour," said Chairman Moon. "In addition, it also brings her one step closer to fulfilling her dream."
"I didn't know I won the award but now that I won, I am very happy," Lee said. "I tried to play my best at all times and I would like to thank Volvik for all their continuous support of not only myself but the entire Symetra Tour."
Lee recorded a 71.30 scoring average over 13 rounds and beat out Victoria Elizabeth who posted a 72.10 through 13 rounds. During the second series of the award, Lee notched her first-career victory at the Symetra Classic in Charlotte, N.C. and recorded two additional top-5 finishes. Her win helped her jump up the season's money list and is currently ranked No. 5 in the Volvik Race for the Card.

text: Back in July, we premiered the No Pets Allowed remix of Jay Z's "Tom Ford." As huge as that trap rework was, it's great to know that this isn't all he's doing. For his latest remix, they've gone full electro house for Calvin Harris' Ellie Goulding-featured "I Need Your Love," and it fits just as nice. No Pets Allowed kept the track just as melodic as the original, but gave the beats a tougher exterior. Gotta love the punch up on this. There's definitely something about him; keep your eyes peeled on No Pets Allowed.

When the best you can do to create some hype around yourself is use Wayne Rooney as a hypothetical example of who you could sign if you really wanted to, you might not actually be in a great footballing situation. I'm talking about Arsenal. Sorry in advance. (Not really sorry.)
I always find the he trick with bigging-up your buying power is not to say you could do something, which tells everyone that it's a potential world which might never exist, but to say that you will do something. Use strong, positive signals, not 'maybe we'll sign a pale English bloke. We'll see…' Because no matter how much you wink, that possibility isn't going to turn anyone on—you may simply appear unhinged. Also, if you really want to impress everyone, don't say that you might sign someone who spent last season looking a bit bloated. There is nothing romantic about a bloated striker. Or a bloated anything, in my opinion.
Which brings me to the thing about Arsenal and their potential new money (announced by the co-owner this week); they still can't really compete, can they. Ivan Gazidis declared that Arsenal are ready to "compete with any club in the world," but he has done a mistake. Someone tell him, quick!
It's a rubbish world where one of the only properly profitable clubs can't produce as much cash for players as their nouveau riche rivals, but can we all admit now that it is the world that we currently exist in? (my editor Richard Whittall aside, he told me he is an alien). You can't just make up a different world where Arsenal are competing with Chelsea and Manchester City for big name players, which appears to have been happening this week. It's not allowed.
No matter how much you want to believe something, repeating over and over again that it's true doesn't make it so. A life lesson for you, here. You end up boasting that you can sign Wayne Rooney, which makes you look the opposite of cool—'looc', if you will.
At Arsenal, then, some perspective is necessary. They're talking about signing Rooney, a man who requires pre-pre-season training if he is to be anything like as good as he briefly was. Don't get me wrong, this is an improvement on their previous position of selling all of their best players (though one might well be suspicious that the only reason they're no longer doing that is because they have none), but it's still not competing in a really meaningful sense of the word. Rooney is, at the moment, a second or third order talent; a player Manchester United want to sell. So are Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain, the other players Arsenal are being linked with.
By comparison, look at who Chelsea and City have already brought in. Chelsea have Mourinho and probably André Schürrle, and they're also being linked with Edinson Cavani and Hulk. City have Jesus Navas and Fernandinho and are also being linked with Cavani and Radamel Falcao, two players associated so strongly with each other because, let's face it, they both have long black hair. These are steps up from Wayne Rooney, if only because their clubs aren't waving them off with smirks on their faces and high-fiving each other as soon as no-one's looking.
And there's more on top of that. Arsenal supposedly have £70 million to spend this summer—though we've heard it all before, obviously—but even if that turns out to be the case, they're going to have to spread that money across five or six or seven players, not two or three like City and Chelsea. Arsenal don't have the luxury of tinkering; they finished fourth last season and if they have any ambition to finish higher than that next time around (which they may well not) then they're going to have to reshape their squad. £70 million to do that isn't as much as it sounds.
So back to the advice. I reckon what you do instead of saying you could sign Rooney if you wanted to ('We weren't even trying that last time!!!') is you say nothing. In an ideal world, you'd say you were definitely going to have Lionel Messi playing for you this time next month, but if you're Arsenal that can make you look silly too, so instead you say nothing. Just sign the players—seven if they have to be Wayne Rooney—and see how it turns out. Because ultimately Arsenal still can't compete 'with any club in the world' and attempting to maintain that illusion makes fools of us all.
I once tried to convince everyone I knew that I could compete with their spending. I lied and lied and lied and then I finally cracked and said I could sign Wayne Rooney. Now Wayne Rooney is my best friend. Don't let this happen to you, Arsenal.

Plans for the future
"The best thing he can do is support the ambitions of each of our campuses. If you look at UT Arlington, we obviously have ambitions of being one of the best in the nation," said President Karbhari following a visit with new UT System Chancellor William McRaven.
Jesters as commentators
Understanding what makes political caricature funny to some but not to others is critical today, said Ritu Khanduri, a UT Arlington cultural anthropologist and author of an analyses of Indian caricature through the ages.
National leader
Dr. Kenneth Reifsnider, a member of the prestigious National Academy of Engineering, will lead the new UT Arlington Institute for Predictive Performance of Advanced Materials and Structures.
The fight that keeps flowing
Robert Fairbanks, UT Arlington professor of history, says a 1930s controversy over the Trinity River ended longtime friendships, resulted in vicious attacks on prominent civic leaders, brought about several lawsuits and destroyed one of the city's key planning organizations.
Linguistic justice
"Language is always a vehicle for social justice. Righting wrongs. Native American language revitalization sustains the life force of communities," wrote UTA Linguistics Professor Colleen Fitzgerald in a Huffington Post op-ed.

Azure Ray, 'Drawing Down the Moon' (Saddle Creek)
Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor dissolved Azure Ray in 2004 to pursue projects that closely recalled their band's sad, soothing sound, and this reconvening offers few surprises. Mannered, wistful melancholy abounds: When pulses quicken (as on "Don't Leave My Mind" and "In the Fog"), Azure Ray can prick ears. When relying mostly on their beautiful voices, as with "On and On Again," they become Indigo Girls for the indie-rock set. "We do the best that we can" is a telling lyric -- Drawing is occasionally eager and unstoppably pleasant, but just as often drifts as dazzles. BUY:iTunesAmazon
Interpol, 'Interpol' (Matador)
At the core of every great Interpol song hangs a hook so barbed it could draw blood, no matter how heavy the surrounding goth atmospherics. But somewhere between 2004's Antics and the mostly tepid 2007 major-label debut Our Love to Admire, the noirish New Yorkers lost the monster sing-alongs and danceable rhythms that made early tracks "PDA" and "NYC" so captivating. That trajectory continues on their fourth album, as the group continues to drift where they once focused intently. Which isn't to say that all is lost: "Barricade" reminds you of how much Carlos D.'s hip-swiveling bass lines will be missed now that he's left the band; and how the album's dynamic range could've been widened.
Words of Wisdom: Superchunk
"Hold on," says Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster, eyeing a black stretch limo in front of a bougie downtown Chicago hotel. "I need to make sure it's long enough." The Taste of Randolph festival, which Superchunk are headlining tonight, has sent the luxury ride as a courtesy, but for an act entering its third decade as a standard-bearer for indie stringency and modesty, the gesture is as embarrassing as it is flattering. Singer-guitarist Mac McCaughan winces. "Can we grab a couple of cabs, maybe?" In a perfect world, this band that's long since mastered the art of blending punk ferocity with pop songcraft would take stretch limos to the corner for milk.
!!!, 'Strange Weather, Isn't It?' (Warp)
Bits of darkness invade !!!'s first album in three years, and it's a dangerous supplement for a band whose foundation is winking, boisterous funk. When the slink doesn't get too murky, as on "AM/FM" and the cheery "Steady as the Sidewalk Cracks," the nighttime vibe pays off. When the fun gets left behind ("Hollow," "Jump Back"), little remains except a pleasant-but-purposeless bass groove. The sonic expansion is admirable, but perhaps a trip to Miami -- instead of Berlin, where some of Weather was recorded -- might've been a better atmospheric adjustment. BUY: Amazon
Cotton Jones, 'Tall Hours in the Glowstream' (Suicide Squeeze)
The best parts of this boy-girl duo's second album sound like some obscure '50s act, the kind that ought to list "reverb" as a band member. "Song in Numbers" and "Man Climbs out of the Winter" stare gorgeously through Roy Orbison's Ray-Bans, deliberately dating themselves with vintage ghostly keyboards and distant drums. There's a hint of Animal Collective's retro-future haze during Glowstream's fleshier moments, like the lovely "Soft Mountain Shake," but mostly it's content to channel gauzy pop days gone by. BUY: Amazon
Maps & Atlases, 'Perch Patchwork' (Barsuk)
This Chicago band's skittish energy recalls Talking Heads and TV on the Radio, lightening any dark subject matter with twitchy bursts of color. Early EPs were lumped in with math and prog bands, but those impulses recede on this debut full-length: Clearly there's some showing off on "Carrying the Wet Wood," with intricately intertwined fretwork and drumming, but it's all in service of sing-alongs, tied together by Dave Davison's pinched, inimitable voice. When friendly flutes invade skewed pop ("Perch Patchwork") and a drum line becomes the primary instrument ("The Charm"), genre tags seem pretty inadequate. ?BUY:?iTunes??Amazon?
Kele, 'The Boxer' (Glassnote)
Kele Okereke follows Thom Yorke's path on this first solo set, stepping away from a hugely successful band to spend more time addressing the aesthetics of the dance floor. Bloc Party fans won't be shocked or dismayed, though: Boxer just ratchets up the electronic vibe of 2008's Intimacy, stretching even further sonically while maintaining Okereke's earthy, hyperpersonal songwriting. Assisted by Spank Rock's DJ/producer XXXChange, Okereke style-jumps skillfully, from spare and heartfelt (the gently Björk-like "New Rules") to Big Beat-indebted (the Chemical Brothers tribute "Rise").
The National, 'High Violet' (4AD)
The vaguely optimistic slow dance "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks" closes the National's fifth album, and you can almost see crepe paper falling lazily off the gym wall as it fades, like a welcome exhale, after 45 minutes of gorgeously crafted tension. Simmering more than itstrikes, High Violet coaxes you into baroque indie darkness rather than shines bright pop lights. It's a familiar journey, with subtle differences: Matt Berninger's expressive, wounded baritone once defaulted to a murmur or a shout, but on the swooning "England" and the massive, shuddering "Terrible Love," he finds a comfort zone in between. Maybe "comfort" is the wrong word, because Berninger's noirish lyrics feel more harrowing than ever. But the National inevitably make that bleakness sound incredibly seductive and impossibly cool.
Jónsi, 'Go' (XL)
On his solo debut, Jónsi Birgisson -- Sigur Rós' spectral voice and six-string skyscraper -- embraces a lithe, lush pop his main band is too monolithic to accommodate, and it's revelatory. Though still recalling Sigur, Go moves more quickly, from the flute-happy "Go Do" to the giddy "Animal Arithmetic." (And, yes, many songs are inEnglish, which doesn't dampen the sense of mystery a bit.) It's not unlike Thom Yorke's sideline trip The Eraser: Each retains an inimitable singer's sound but adds oxygen-rich breathing room. BUY:Amazon
Midlake, 'The Courage of Others' (Bella Union)
Boy, midlake's Tim Smith wasn't joking when he said that his band's third album -- and first since breaking bigger with 2006's breathtaking, Fleetwood Macinspired Trials of Van Occupanther -- was inspired by the affected antiquities oflate-'60s/early-'70s British folk rock. At first blush, The Courage of Others sounds like a too somber, self-serious simulacrum of a borderline-silly genre -- music made by the sad sacks on the sidelines of the Renaissance Faire who only watch as everyone else jousts and quaffs mead. But these new old-sounding songs gradually burrow into your consciousness, despite lacking the occasional cheery hooks that made Occupanther so alluring. Courage gambles on an extended mood that's maintained by intricate acoustic guitar plucks, downcast vocals, and copious amounts of flute.
