Mountain Lion: the Missing Manual
Many years ago, David Pogue was present at Macworld Expo in Boston when an attendee opened a new software box. The guy was seriously disappointed that all he got for his money was a CD. This turned out to be Pogue's Eureka! moment. It was also the birth of the Missing Manual series that now numbers over 150 books by a diverse group of knowledgable authors. As he says in his latest book, "It's a good thing you've got a book about OS X in your hands, because the only user manual you get with it is the Help menu."

To find the extent of treatment mismatches, Talcott's team collected data on 438 prostate cancer patients. Patients were asked to complete questionnaires that included questions about urinary incontinence and other urinary problems, and bowel and sexual dysfunction.
The researchers found that 89 percent of the patients had some level of urinary, bowel or sexual problem before starting treatment. Among these patients, 34 percent of those with one serious symptom had a mismatched treatment, as did 37 percent who had a less serious symptom. Moreover, 40 percent of those who had several symptoms also received contraindicated therapy.
In addition, among patients with significant dysfunction in all three areas for whom no treatment would be recommended, only 5 percent chose watchful waiting. In this strategy, patients are not treated but are followed closely.
These mismatches appear to occur because doctors and patients don't communicate well. Patients are often reluctant to talk about urinary, bowel and sexual problems, Talcott said. "And, sometimes patients override their doctor's recommendation," he added.
Talcott also thinks that physicians can be wedded to a particular treatment at the exclusion of others. "Surgeons believe in surgery, and radiation oncologists believe in radiation," he said. "That may be part of the problem."
To counterbalance physician bias, patients should get another opinion, Talcott said. "Patients should always get a second consult," he said. "It's a good idea to talk with a surgeon, a radiation oncologist and possible a medical oncologist."
One expert thinks that patients need to make an informed decision about which treatment is best.
"The kind of doctor that you see often predetermines the treatment you receive," said Dr. Durado Brooks, director of prostate an

About Andrew Howell
Monstieur Howell futilely attempts to capture and comprehend his subjective world in the objects imagination commands he create. The innocence of children's literature intertwines with the horror. Fairy tales and fables shroud the quotidian. Myth subsumes the trivial. Feasting on the internet, the reams of faceless information, the lurid imagery at a touch of a button. The fictional, biographical and autobiographical meld, characters chose themselves, the observer identifies and enters into the portrayal, the narrative unfurling as Monstieur's vision beautifies and taints.

IndieDB / Desura exlusive X-Rated X-Mas DemoDec 15, 2012 Demo 15 comments
The X-tra trashy playable B-Movie featuring the worst Austrian accent in English gaming history proudly presents the X-R-X-MAS Demo! This is a special...
Welcome to your ultimate nightmare:
"You`re Peter "Pete" O`Brannon, a Private Eye. Sounds faszinating? It isn`t, trust me - unless you find it exciting to hunt down cheating husbands and lost dogs while living of cheap Chinese food in shabby motels. THAT would be what Petes job is all about - but luckily for him, he has a good customer paying his bills. It`s GlobalSecure Inc., one of the biggest insurance companies on the East Coast. More exactely, it`s Samantha "Sam" Miller who runs their investigation departement on insurance fraud. She`s tough, she`s intelligent, she`s better than Pete. By far better. But due to the companies Code of Conduct and some very nasty ethic rules, she`s prevented from taking, erm, "semi-legal" steps to gain essential information and proofs. That`s where Pete steps in - for 500 bucks per day + expenses + a nice 20% share of the money the company saves with whatever Pete finds out.
Into the Dark is a playable B-Movie, a trash Experience composed out of 60% humour, 30% horror and 10% technical flaws. Enjoy!
This game is based upon the winning entry of the scariest game competition on TGC:
The first release on Gamersgate and as boxed retail product was 30th of October 2012, the official Desura Release in April 2013
WIP Gameplay Level 4:

100% gaming insanity, death of millions of poor Paypal accounts and wallets, and the time of the year when gamers have a perfect excuse to be exhausted and fall asleep at work: The Steam Summer Sale is really a crazy event, comparable to the black Friday (or fleeing from a horde of mutants).
But it´s the first year that we from Homegrown Games participate, so it´s entirely new to us. And we have really gone low with our prime rib game "Into the Dark" for that one.
However, you don´t have to buy if you own the game already on Desura:
We are handing out free steam keys to people who have bought the game on Desura on request. People who have bought the game via one of the bundle promotions are NOT entitled to claim a free steam key, however, on a case-to-case base, we may still give you a press key. Contact us for details here via PM.
We have uploaded a first UNIFIED version into the Desura Client version here. So if you run Into the Dark via client installation, it should already have performed a major update. The first testruns were promising, however, we cannot guarantee that it will work flawless, please report all bugs into our IndieDB Forums. The unified version is the same like the steam version except some ragdolling routines and the Steam achievements (of course).
So, to cut it short: If you already own the game, we thank you very much for your support. If not, use the madness of Steams Summer Sale to get it for as low as € / $ 5.99 !

The best game which i seen made in FPSC.
But this game engine is a little bit crappy.
Good Luck!
Basically the Engine is not the best compared to Cry3, Unreal3 and so on. But it has become quite powerful during the last 19 Updates and it now is very flexibel and suited for small teams.
Great game. Music and sounds are very atmospheric. Good luck with it.
any plan for Linux version??? or
No, not yet. The engine is basically not portable, but a spinoff with another engine could be an idea.
This looks good but why the crappy FPSCreator, and not Cryengine or UDK???
Ok, my answer was a little bit short, but I had been on the phone calling a partner. However:
The fpi scripting power is incredible. Basically you can roll out the whole game logic from FPS to Full-Scale-RPG with Notepad.
On the other hand you can apply extremely detailled lightmapping in the smaller environments. As long as you have really good 3d and 2d assets at hand, you`re technically competitable and more flexible with FPSC.
UDK and Cry 3 have a top-notch renderer, no doubt about that, and the physics calculation is lightyears ahead of FPSC. But when it comes to the Art pipeline, you need 3 times the manpower compared to FPSC.
I have developed games on Cry 3 and UDK. For indoor horror small environments and a slow paced game, the latest 1.19 FPSC beats both of them.
Very deserved. This is truly the best FPSC game I have ever seen. That is not a slight either! It shows a great deal of skill and talent!!
This game will stand up to any game on other engines as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you very much. But it will still need a lot of dedication, sweat and tears untill it`s finnished.
Highest Rated (15 agree) 9/10
I would have prefered giving Feedback to the developers on their page, but the games installer points to IndieDB, so it`s gonna be somehow public: Although I`m pretty proud that this one is from Austria, obviously not far from here, I`ll stick to facts and spare the patriotism influence. I bought this game because of the report on Austrian TV, so I knew what I had to expect - Trash, Zombies, B-Movie-Style. I love that, so I gave it a try. And the game delivers exactly what it promises: Trash, B-Movie…

Lowest Rated (3 agree) 4/10
Abysmal game. Bad graphics, bad atmosphere just terrible.

29 year old woman | Port Jefferson Station, NY, USA | Seeking men 27-38 within 100 miles
I know your out there, somewhere out there
I am a little skeptical that this online dating thing works. It skips the whole crush step and initial chemistry you may get from being in the presence of someone that interests you. Ya never know until you try so here we go... It's very simple. I want to meet someone that I have an attraction toward. I want to then realize we have the same interests and passions in life. Then I want to be pleasantly surprised with the emotional and intellectual connection that we share. I would like to meet someone that inspires me to continue to be the best person I can be. Someone that it hurts to say good night to at the end of the night because I can't stand to not be near them. I hope to fall in love one day and it lasts. I am looking for a real man. A man who knows what he wants in life and is done with games and drama. A man to me is selfless, compromising, passionate, encouraging, supportive. I know there are tons of guys out there like that, but like I said, for me it is all about the chemistry. I don't play games. I don't go out to clubs. Also very active and like to have fun. I am Down to earth and know how to treat a man. Every guy deserves a woman who is loyal, respectful , and supportive of them. I hope to one day meet someone that brings a smile to my face everytime I am with them. But I hope it for once lasts. :)

The Secret- You attract your dominant thoughts. So, instead of thinking about what you "don't" want, focus on what you DO want. For example, if you focus on NOT wanting a crazy chick, you WILL get a crazy chick. Change it around. "I want and will.."

Police our shield from danger
They stand between us and the harsh reality of crime on the streets that most people rarely experience. Anchorage police officers and Alaska State Troopers see it and live with it daily because it's their job. We pay them to protect us.
Until you are faced with life-threatening danger, and a law enforcement officer stands between you and that danger, don't pretend to know what they should, or shouldn't do to protect you from harm or death.
-- Bob Lewis
Laws apply equally to church
While a practicing Catholic, I disagree with Mary Ann Green that the Affordable Care Act forces the Catholic Church to support "choices" it "does not believe" appropriate (Letters, June 30).
Whenever any church acts in the secular world, it must obey the same civil (and criminal rules) as everyone else.
If conduct merits moral disapproval, the answer is to change the conduct and make better Catholics through evangelization, not whine about the law.
My bet is that church employees already include persons who are divorced, use contraceptives or are in personal relationships that, while legal, the church deems inappropriate. Paychecks certainly support these "choices" without the church seeking to generate political controversy.
-- Marc June
Supreme Court ruling opens up a wide range of taxing options
Although Congress may not compel us to buy broccoli, it may tax us if we don't -- at least according to the Supreme Court's holding on the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in "Obamacare." Congress now has the power to tax any definable subgroup. The possibilities are many, and they are all bad.
Take that pesky Second Amendment. Congress can simply tax your guns at $1,000 per. You would have to list them all on your tax return (recall they nailed Al Capone on tax evasion alone) and you could not bring suit against the tax until you had paid it.
Need troops for another "kinetic military action?" Tax civilians. Tax radio talk show hosts. On the flip side, tax union members and Democrats.
You cannot -- as the court has tried to do -- slap two pieces of bread on a penalty and call it a tax sandwich. It is what it is -- unconstitutional as a penalty and dangerous as a tax.
-- Pam Siegfried
Old health-care ways failed us
If you listen to the likes of Paul Jenkins, John Boehner, and our own governor, the decision by the SCOTUS on Obamacare was all bad. They all want to repeal the entire law and regress backward to a completely market-driven health care system that we have had at least 75 years to prove doesn't work.
The antiquated way they want to go back to rations millions of people to be without care, bankrupts thousands, would continue to have corporate insurance bureaucrats denying claims, dropping people when they get sick and boosting corporate profits and CEO salaries at the expense of everyone's health. Insurance companies don't care about our health.
Obamacare is a long way from perfect, but lets fix it and make it better so that it works for everyone. Repealing it is not in the best interests of the nation's physical and economic health. Change is hard, but holding on to what has failed us out of fear and narrow-mindedness is worse.
-- Paul Jackson
Some other rights to consider
Under the battle-cry of protecting their religious rights and liberties, the Catholic bishops and their allies are up in arms against the Obama administration's policy on contraceptive coverage. These religiously-affiliated hospitals, charities and universities in question are major institutions in the public arena which accept taxpayer dollars from the government, serve the public and hire from the public. (Note that we are not talking individual houses of worship here who are allowed -- and should be allowed -- to impose their religious beliefs on their (hopefully) voluntary membership.)
So, I ask, what about the religious rights and liberties of the patients, clients, students and employees of these religiously-affiliated hospitals, charities and universities?
-- William M. Cox

Bold, bright and definitely worth all the attention; - that is Girl About Town. I love my bright lips and this little bundle of boldness never fails to give me that oomph in a swipe! This is a pretty solid shade that will instantly boost your look effortlessly. I can get away with a blank face (read:no other make up) and just this on my puckers and I am all set. It is also in an amplified creme finish which brings out the richness of the color. I have pretty pigmented lips and an opaque, non-drying lipstick is my best friend! And on that note, Girl About Town is my inanimate bff!

Bought this today and I can't even express how much I love it. Very bright with LOTS of colour pigmentation! This would suit all skin colours, I'm an NC25 so I'm slightly on the paler side and it goes so well but I think it would look amazing on darker skins especially too. Goes on smoothly, has creamy consistency. Lasts long, I can wear it for 4+ hours and my lips will still be rich in colour. Not drying either, unlike satins. Really do, truly recommend this lipstick and I am so glad I purchased it. Pink with a hint of purple, beauuuutiful! If you're wanting a brighter colour, perhaps for a party though I even wear it when I'm just out and about, I know you'll love it as much I do! :-)

Long lasting, lasted almost my whole formal/prom (which included plenty of eating and drinking). Super high pigment colour, looks brilliant against pale skin. This is my go to lippy when I want something that's bright but not red.

My hands-down favorite M.A.C. lipstick. It's a vibrant fuschia that looks amazing when I'm pale, tan and in between. Moreover, this lipstick is highly pigmented, creamy and long-lasting; the coverage and color look superb even through eating and drinking with no touch ups. And, perhaps most importantly, it photographs beautifully.

Originally I was looking for the Petals & Peacocks lipstick from the Liberty of London collection but it was a limited edition lipstick and Girl About Town was the closest thing to it. It's a gorgeous, fabulous fuchsia amplified creme finish. I wear it with MAC's Magenta lipliner. It gives a great pop of color whenever I don't feel like wearing a classic red or simple nude.

I bought Revlon Fuschia because it's a dupe for GAT. I liked it so I decided to buy the real thing. I have Rebel but it's really dark on me because I'm dark so I thought if I get GAT, it will be the color I want. It is. I line my lips with a plum liner and top it with NYX African Queen and I'm ready. The Revlon is okay, but nothing is like the real thing!
UPDATE: My Nighmoth liner finally came and GAT + Nighmoth = HOT!
If you are a NW 44 and up, you have to get GAT!

Bach Society's Lynn, 83, led sacred-music performances
By Steven Brown | February 13, 2014
Lynn, no info, from religion folder. HOUCHRON CAPTION (05/15/2004): Robert Lynn, music director of the Bach Society at Christ the King Lutheran Church, is retiring at the end of the season. Lynn has led the society since its founding in 1982. The final Vespers program under his direction will be at 5 p.m. Sunday at the church, 2352 Rice. New & notable / PEOPLE. HOUCHRON CAPTION (05/23/2004): Lynn. ARTS NOTES.
Bach Society Houston will dedicate its Sunday performance of J.S. Bach's B Minor Mass to Robert Lynn, the group's first artistic director, who died Tuesday at 83.
Lynn was a University of Houston music professor when the society was founded in 1982. One of its missions was to return Bach's sacred music to its liturgical setting.
"It seemed to bring together all the things I've been interested in: the German language, history of liturgy and the music of Bach," Lynn told the Houston Chronicle when he stepped down in 2004.
Lynn led the group's choir in Bach's largest religious works and more than 60 of his cantatas.
Born in Colorado Springs, Colo., he earned a master's degree in organ from the Juilliard School and a doctorate in musicology from Indiana University.
As a Fulbright Scholar, he studied in Denmark with prominent organist Finn Viderø. Traveling there in 1956, Lynn was a passenger on the MS Stockholm when it collided with the SS Andrea Doria, which sank in a notorious maritime disaster.
Lynn is survived by his wife, Elaine Steele Lynn; children Lisa Bailey, Sarah Elaine Lynn, Michael Lynn and William Lynn; six grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
Sunday's performance will be at 6 p.m. at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. March 8 at Christ Church Cathedral, 1117 Texas.

Southaven girls basketball team looking for state title
The Southaven High girls basketball team reported to preseason practice with empty stomachs.
And there's only one thing that can rid the Lady Chargers of their hunger, and that's capturing the Mississippi High School Activities Association's Class 6A state championship this year.
A year after the Lady Chargers went 29-3 and lost in the 6A state semifinals to Hattiesburg, 60-57, Southaven returns all five starters with healthy appetites.
"They're a great group of kids," coach David Baldwin said. "We really thought we had a chance at winning it last year and we didn't do it. They would like to get down there and give it one more shot."
The Lady Chargers certainly have the weapons to do so. Baldwin has three seniors who just signed Division 1 scholarships on Wednesday — Jasmine Joyner (UT Chattanooga), Joanna Smith (Buffalo) and Aliyah Miller (Providence).
Baldwin described Joyner as a "defensive and shot-blocking animal." Joyner, a 6-3 center, also runs the floor well and has improved her offense. Miller is a 6-foot forward who is the Lady Chargers' most intense player. She, too, thrives on the defensive end.
Smith, a 5-8 guard, excels in nearly every area. She's athletic and can get her own shot. She has a good midrange game and can occasionally knock down the 3-pointer.
Baldwin also has two junior guards who will likely sign Division 1 scholarships next year in A'Queen Hayes and Olivia Cunningham.
"In the preseason, they came back from the AAU circuit and they were all excited," Baldwin said. "They worked extremely hard and could not wait to play another team besides ourselves in practice. Practice had gotten long and a little boring. Now, every game they're excited."
And it has showed already with a 69-17 win over Noxubee High and a 100-27 win over Hernando, games in which Baldwin was able to empty his bench.
To make sure the Lady Chargers are primed for another run at a state title, Baldwin upgraded the schedule to feature games against defending Class 1A state champ H.W. Byers, Memphis's Central High, Starkville and Shades Valley, a highly ranked team from Alabama. Horn Lake, which also lost in the state semifinals last year to Forest Hill, should provide the stiffest competition for Southaven in district play.
"I think our schedule is going to test us this year, more so than we have in the last couple of years," Baldwin said. "We're looking forward to playing this season, and hopefully with a little luck, we can get back to Jackson."

Iran Wants OPEC to Adjust Output for Libya, Iraq Oil, Mehr Says
Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Iran's Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi said some OPEC members should curtail output to accommodate the return of Libyan crude to markets and an increase in Iraqi production, the state-run Mehr news agency reported.
Iran will suggest at the planned Dec. 14 meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries that members of the group that boosted output this year in the absence of Libyan exports should scale back production, Qasemi said, according to Mehr. Iran, OPEC's second-largest producer after Saudi Arabia opposes increasing output and is seeking "fair" crude prices, the minister said, according to the report.
The comments reiterate a position Qasemi, who is also OPEC's president this year, expressed in a Nov. 11 report on the Tehran-based ministry's website. Saudi Arabia raised its output by about 1.3 million barrels a day between March and August to help offset the loss of exports from Libya during the uprising against Muammar Qaddafi. Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates also augmented output.
Libya pumped 500,000 barrels a day on average in November, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Iraq, the group's third-largest producer, pumped 2.71 million barrels a day last month, the data show. OPEC supplies about 40 percent of the world's crude.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 7/30/13
Monday we reported that free agent guard Daniel "Boobie" Gibson turned himself in to New Orleans police to face a battery charges in relation to allegedly breaking a man's jaw in a late night fight during Essence Festival. Gibson is telling his side of the story, and according to TMZ, says he was just defending his wife's honor after a man allegedly made a disrespectful remark to her. Gibson's wife is R&B singer Keyshia Cole. He called in to "TMZ Live" to explain why he turned himself in to police in New Orleans today on 2nd degree battery charges. Boobie says Keyshia was performing at the event … when some guy approached her and spouted off some very "disrespectful" comments toward the singer. Boobie says an altercation broke out and "safety was threatened" … so Boobie says he "needed to take action." Despite the allegations against him, Boobie says he did nothing wrong — adding, "I have nothing to be ashamed of or hide." We'll have to wait to see how this plays out, as Gibson continues to look for a team to sign with. Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.

Overcoming the legacy of suspicion necessitates a new beginning. Creating a conversation based on mutual trust and respect requires a faithful and true unity of word and deed. Word must become flesh. Truth must be embodied. A new kind of man must speak and create a new kind of community. That is what God did in Christ. Jesus initiates a new kind of talk. His talk is trustworthy.
A community based on trust ends in unity and understanding. That is what happened in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit was poured out on those trusting in the Lord and waiting on him. Everyone heard the gospel in his own native tongue. (Acts 2) A new kind of talk was being spoken and a new kind of community was being extended. A community that ends in unity and understanding was created.

So you have the next million dollar idea! You are finally ready
to kick your day job to the curb and start your own small business.
You are ready to be your own boss, or so you think. Do you even
know where to start? Did you know that 33% of businesses fail
in the first two years and after four years only 45% are still in
business? The primary reason that most of these businesses fail is
due to poor planning and execution of their business plan. Business
Plan? Wait, what's that?
So where do you start? You have the idea and it is going to make
you rich. Do you love doing it? This is also a place where
people go wrong. If you want to start a small business, make sure
it's something you enjoy doing. So let's talk about the steps you
should take when starting a small business.
You are probably wondering what a business plan is. A Business
Plan is a formal statement of a set of business goals, reasons they
are attainable and how your business will attain them. A Business
Plan is a little more lengthy and entailed than that, but there are
tons of resources on the web to assist you in writing a Business
Are you starting the business in your home? Do you need a
building? - You have heard it a million times, "Location, Location,
Location!" Another reason that many businesses fail is due to
location. This should definitely be something that you put time
into choosing. Yes, you may be able to find cheaper real estate
somewhere else, but why is it cheaper? Have 10 other businesses
tried this location in the past five years? Why haven't they
succeeded? What will change the location, just because it's
your business?
How are you going to start your business? Are you going to
self-finance your business? Do you have working capital, money to
carry the business and yourself through the first 18-24 months?
Many people believe that they can make the business run with their
funds but often forget about having to pay themselves.
Are you going to borrow the funds to start your own business? Do
you need to borrow funds to purchase the new location? Many banks
work with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to help
small business owners get started. Contact your local bank to see
if they participate in SBA programs.
Are you going to setup a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or just
act as a Sole Proprietor? These are questions that you should ask
an attorney. You should also register the name with your Secretary
of State.
Death and taxes are the only two things that are certain in this
life. As a small business owner, you need to register to pay and
collect both state and local taxes. These are two important things
that you do not want to get behind on doing.
Are you going to run the business alone? Is this really a one
man or woman show? Do you need help to grow your business? These
are all questions you have to ask yourself. You also have to
understand that with employees come other responsibilities. You
have to understand all of the laws that go along with hiring
employees. You must understand taxes and benefits (should you
choose to offer both).
So starting a new business is not as easy as putting an open
sign in the window. You need to be prepared and ready before you
even open the doors. But with a little time and determination, you
might just have the next million dollar idea. There are lots of
great resources out there for people looking to start a small
business. One great resource is your local community bank. At
American Gateway Bank, we have Small Business Bankers that are
experienced and willing to help you get your business off the
ground and running. Feel free to visit our Business Banking Page or any of

Japan conversation robot ready for outer space (Update)
The world's first space conversation experiment between a robot and humans is ready to be launched.
The world's first space conversation experiment between a robot and humans is ready to be launched.
China's Shenzhou-10 spacecraft has completed a challenging mission to manually dock with a space module and its three astronauts are expected to return to earth on Wednesday, state media said Tuesday.
Three Chinese astronauts on the country's longest manned space mission on Sunday succeeded in manually docking their spacecraft with a module orbiting Earth, state media said.
The US space agency announced the appointment of eight new astronauts on Monday, and a record half of NASA's first astronaut class since 2009 are women.
A robot freighter bearing 6.6 tonnes of cargo docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, the European Space Agency (ESA) said.
Three Chinese astronauts Thursday entered a space module after carrying out a successful docking manoeuvre, state media said, two days after the launch of the country's longest manned space mission.
A Chinese spacecraft blasted off to begin the country's fifth and longest manned space mission, taking three astronauts to an orbiting space lab from where they will give science lessons to youngsters.
China was to launch its longest-ever manned space mission Tuesday, with its second woman astronaut among the crew, as it steps up its ambitious space programme, a symbol of the country's growing power.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield announced Monday his retirement after a five-month mission to space that captivated the world with his Twitter microblog.
China is to send its second woman astronaut into orbit on its longest mission yet, space officials said Monday, as the country works towards building a space station.
China's astronauts have braved the tension of docking with a space station and performed delicate tasks outside their orbiting capsule, but now face a more down-to-earth job that is perhaps equally challenging: ...
A record 6.6 tonnes of cargo were hurtling towards the International Space Station after being blasted into orbit by a European rocket from French Guiana on Wednesday.
China will launch three astronauts into space this month to dock with an experimental space-module, state-media said Monday, marking the latest step towards the country's aim of building a space station.
While astronaut Buzz Aldrin enjoys movies about space, he doesn't always think they get it right.
Every day, 400 kilometres above our heads, there are astronauts living in space. Their home is the ISS, the frontier outpost of human exploration, and a workplace like nothing on Earth. With spacewalks and ...

Coral Reefs in Hot Water is a short video displaying computerized data collected on the number of reefs impacted by coral bleaching around the world.
In this video segment, adapted from a student video produced at Northwest Indian College in Bellingham Washington, Native American elders discuss the impact of climate change on salmon populations and the importance of restoring balance in the natural world.
This video addresses acidification of the ocean and the ecological and economic implications of the resulting pH change on marine life. It includes information about how ocean acidification resulting from increased absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere is affecting ocean species such as sea urchins and oysters. Scientists from the University of California at Santa Barbara discuss their experiments with sea creatures in acidic sea water. There is an associated lesson plan and classroom activity that has students test the effects of CO2 on water pH.
This video segment features subsistence fishing and harvesting in the Northwest US. Segment was adapted from a student video produced at Northwest Indian College in Bellingham, Washington.
This animation illustrates how the hardiness zones for plants have changed between 1990 and 2006 based on an extensive updating of U.S. Hardiness Zones using data from 5,000 National Climatic Data Center cooperative stations across the continental United States.
This beautifully filmed and produced video describes the changes that global warming is already bringing to Northern Canada and Greenland. Local people describe changes to ecosystems, impacts on culture and life styles, and the challenges of melting permafrost. Ship captains describe changes in navigational channels and fjords. Scientists describe changes in albedo and permafrost, as well as increased pollution transported from outside the Arctic (the Grasshopper effect).
This video features changes in the land, sea, and animals that are being observed by the residents of Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories, Canada â many of whom hunt, trap, and fishâbecause of their long-standing and intimate connection with their ecosystem. Scientists interview the residents and record their observations in order to deepen our understanding of climate change in the polar region. Background essay and discussion questions are included.
This interactive shows the impact of a changing climate on maple syrup sap production. Students can explore the changes in production under two different emissions scenarios.
This static image from NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory Carbon Program offers a visually compelling and scientifically sound image of the sea water carbonate chemistry process that leads to ocean acidification and impedes calcification.
This 3-part interactive and virtual lab activity examines the life cycle of the sea urchin, and how the increasing acidity of the ocean affects their larval development.

Where can you get a three-star experience at one-star prices? Which hot new restaurant merits the scorching hype?
The answer to all these questions and more can be found Tuesdays at 11 a.m. on Kliman Online. From scoping out scruffy holes in the wall to weighing the merits of four-star wanna-bes, from scouring the 'burbs and exurbs to hitting the city's streets, Todd Kliman covers a lot of territory.
Winner of a James Beard Foundation Award in 2005 for the country's best newspaper column about food, Kliman is food and wine editor and restaurant critic for The Washingtonian. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, The Oxford American, and Men's Health, among others, and he has been selected four times for inclusion in the Best Food Writing anthologies. He is the author of The Wild Vine, a literary exploration of two entwined mysteries: an obscure grape that rose to prominence, only to disappear, and its biggest present-day champion, a dot-com-millionaire-turned-vintner on an obsessive quest to restore the legend of an antebellum southern doctor.
Bangkok 54, Arlington
My most recent meal at this checkerboard-paletted hole in the wall on Columbia Pike was a quick one, consisting of just three dishes—two of them as good as anything I've eaten in the past six months. Irregular slices of freezed, then slow-roasted tofu coated in a dry sauce of chilis and dressed up with tiny leaves of fried basil doesn't sound particularly prepossessing, but I've never had a tofu dish I've loved more. If you're a meat eater and make a point of swearing off any and all dishes that feature tofu, then you need a policy re-think. A red curry was every bit its equal—the heat and lushness of the sauce knitting together a plate of perfectly cooked shrimp, thick squares of tender, roasted butternut squash, toasted cashews and a mound of judiciously prepared brown rice.
Vermilion, Alexandria
The honesty and simplicity of chef Tony Chittum's make-it-local-or-make-it-from-scratch approach has never been in question. But these days there's a newfound coherence in his plates, a clarity that brings even his heartiest, most soulful plates into tight focus. The desserts, with Tiffany MacIsaac in the fold now as guru of sweets for all outlets in the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, have never been better.
Pearl Dive Oyster Palace, DC
This jumping fish house in the 14th St. corridor is Jeff and Barbara Black's fifth place, and by far their most fun—in the room and on the plate. The other surprise? The excellent value—a reminder that among the benefits of a mini-empire is the ability to leverage high-volume purchasing into cut-rate deals. Don't miss the marvelous twist on mariscos, a seafood-laden salsa with fresh-fried chips.
Komi, DC
The best, most sensual, most fully realized restaurant in the area remains Johnny Monis's lair of a place, a sparely appointed East Dupont townhouse with—check it—no menu.
Eola, DC
Daniel Singhofen scrapped his a la carte menu this past April, replacing it with a $65 five-course tasting menu. The move seemed premature, given that the chef had yet to establish his Dupont Circle townhouse restaurant as a landmark dining destination, one that had endured many seasons and fads. But Singhofen and company appear ready to make the leap. Courses are imaginatively conceived without straining for effect, and the execution is clean and precise without lapsing into austerity. Best of all, Singhofen imbues these sophisticated dishes with a quality more precious than all the tricks in the molecular gastronomer's toolkit: soul.
R&R Taqueria, Elkridge
Best Mexican food in the area, and it's not even close. And—it's in a gas station. Worth the drive to Elkridge.
Ripple, DC
Ex-New Heights chef Logan Cox has taken his sauce-painted bowls and fascinating juxtapositions north up Connecticut Ave., making this modestly done Cleveland Park dining room one of the most intriguing places to dine at the moment. His rabbit loin transforms a typically dry, stringy meat into a kind of luscious barbecue, and his vegetable composition plate—that stale relic of the early aughts—is so good, it could stand alone as a (light) entree.
Liberty Tavern, Arlington
The menu at Liam LaCivita's brawny ode to Americana is rife with abundantly portioned plates of meat and pasta, but it was two comparatively light non-meat plates that impressed me most on a recent visit—a Portuguese-style swordfish with escarole, white beans and housemade sausage in a clam-and-saffron broth, and a simply grilled branzino surrounded by black pellets of squid-ink-soaked fregola nero.
Fiola, DC
Fabio Trabocchi's edge-of-Penn Quarter restaurant has put its tentative beginnings behind it. The dishes emerging from the brick-framed, herb-potted kitchen find the prodigiously talented chef moving further and further from the controlled elegance of his work at the late Maestro. They also find him cooking with a renewed confidence and conviction. The best of these plates—an astonishingly flavorful ragu of wild hare with thick bands of papardelle, a double-cut, prosciutto-wrapped veal chop with toasted hazelnuts that accent the sweetness and nuttiness of the meat, a bowl of tender meatballs in a tomato sauce that frankly puts most Italian grandmothers to shame—marry rusticity with refinement. Desserts—including a fabulous cone of sugar-dusted bomboloni, with pots of apple marmalade and cinnamon gelato—remain a rousing finish.
Fishnet, College Park
Ferhat Yalcin, a former GM at Corduroy, has opened this appealing fish house not in Penn Quarter, or Clarendon, or Bethesda, but in a tiny store front on a quiet back street adjoining fast food-drenched Rte. 1 in College Park. That's the first bit of daring. Of greater reward to the bargain-minded diner, Yalcin departs from the fried whiting atop white bread model you find at places like Horace & Dickey's, offering instead a changing daily lineup of fresh fish—including, at the moment, wild king salmon, bluefish, hake, calamari and mahi mahi. You choose whether you'd like it grilled or fried, and select one of several housemade sauces (aiolis or tartar). Initially, the sandwiches came on a ciabatta roll that was too big; now they come on Kaiser rolls that are slightly too poofy. The fish is the thing—marvelously fresh, generously sliced, and carefully prepared. There are fish sticks, too, and they might be the best fish sticks you'll ever eat. The daily soup—made from trimmed bits, and built from a homemade stock—is a must-get. Excellent fries and coleslaw, too.
Hi my family wants to go for an Indian dinner, and i was wondering if you could tell me what's the best Indian restaurant in Bethesda/ Rockville area ?
Thanks for your help. Rohan.
Passage to India is the best in Bethesda and Spice X-ing is the best in Rockville.
And both are owned and operated by the same guy, Sudhir Seth.
Another option for Bethesda, though I'd put it behind P to I: Haandi. And in Rockville, you might also want to consider Bombay Bistro.
Recently we ate at an incredibly expensive chef centric restaurant for a special occasion and ordered limes with our sparkling water. The waiter brought over a plate with a half a lime cut up into wedges.
A couple minutes later the chef stopped by to talk to us and saw the limes on the plate and got very upset saying that it was crazy to provide a half lime since limes were currently $0.98 a piece. The chef then went and chastised the waiter.
Realizing the meal was several hundred dollars, are chefs, even at the highest level, watching every cent that closely?
Oh, yes, indeedy -- they're watching their bottom lines these days with the hawk-eyed vigilance of IRS investigators.
The first line of the check of my recent meal for two at Elisir was -- "Water charge $.58"
I'm sure there are some people out there who would say, well, what does it matter when you're paying $150 for two? To which I say: Yes, exactly. Why, when you're charging that much, do you want to give the appearance of nickel-and-diming the customer?
It gives me the same sort of feeling as seeing rich people rinse out their Ziplock bags so they can use them again.
I think Elisir's policy is the most egregious of these sorts of crimes against the diner. But you also have Graffiato charging $5 for a bread basket -- and not telling diners ahead of time.
I remember running into some friends one night when I was on my way out. They were slathering the excellent ricotta spread over slices of the excellent raisin-walnut bread while enjoying a bottle of wine and waiting for their first courses to arrive. "It's good, isn't it?" I asked. They nodded happily. At which point, impish sort that I am, I decided to pierce the good mood and ask whether they knew it cost five bucks. Down went the blinds.
I love the new 100 best restaurants list, but although Minh's made the list, I can't find the write-up. did I miss it or was it omitted?
And your interview of Michael Dirda was fabulous. From a steel mill family in Lorain to Book World and beyond. One of the best Washingtonian pieces in a long time!
Thanks! I had a great time doing it. Michael has read so widely, and thought so much about the things he's read, that it's thrilling to spend time with him.
We're going to continue the conversation, it appears, and I'm very happy about that -- very happy to have made a friend as a result. I think my bribing him with future lunches may have had something to do with it, but hey ...
As for Minh's ... It's there, I promise -- in the "Tried and True" section ...
I recently booked a holiday date for me and my boyfriend. An early dinner at Graffiato followed by drinks (the ala carte option) at Columbia Room. My boyfriend is a bartender, so I'm sure he will thoroughly enjoy Columbia Room, but I'm starting to second guess my choice of Graffiato.
For dinner, I want a cozy, romantic experience much like the Pink House in Savannah (Dimly lit basement, our faces illuminated only by the flickering candles on the table; our bodies warm from the tableside fireplace).
Obviously, Graffiato will not offer the experience I am looking for. Is it truly worth it "just to check out"? Or are there better restaurants (in downtown DC) where I can find this "cozy date" atmosphere I am looking for?
I'd go with Proof instead, if I were you.
It might be the most dimly lit restaurant in the city -- so much so that waiters dispense credit card-sized flashlights to assist you in reading the menu. It's very cozy, very intimate, and has a sort of tossed-off sophistication that's very appealing these days -- and also very hard to pull off. It pulls it off.
And it's eating better than ever, too. Superlative foie gras (seared and served atop a cherry-studded short cake), a beautifully delicate branzino in a saffron broth, and a knockout plate of spaghetti and meatballs (foie gras is the crucial ingredient, lightening the meatballs without also making them taste like bready filler).
One of the great attactions of dining here is the wine list -- even if you're not opting for a bottle. A wealth of great and interesting wines you're simply not going to find anywhere else, and the restaurant makes them available in two-ounce pours that encourages you to experiment and try something you wouldn't ordinarily.
Go. And follow up with us with a quick report, okay? ...
Todd -
Thanks for these chats. PG County - what do you recommend? Appreciated your mention of Fishnet in College Park. What else could you point me to?
I look at PG County as "the hole in the donut" with dining options all around, MoCo, DC, Balto and Annapolis.
Prince George's suffers by comparison with its much-more affluent neighbors, but if you removed it from this area and dropped it down in, say, Nebraska or Illinois, it would be fought after by developers.
There are a multitude of reasons why it's been ignored for so long. When the county was majority-white, in the late '60s and mid-70s, it had the stigma of being rural and poor or working-class. Today, it's majority-black, and markedly more affluent, but the perception of it has not changed.
I love hearing developers and others use their buzz/code words when describing the area. "Population density" is one of them. The reason development has lagged, in other words, is that the area doesn't have the concentrated pockets of people that other jurisdictions have. There may be some truth to that, who knows? But I think it's telling that racism is seldom brought into any kind of public discussion on the subject. To discuss the myriad complicated and surprising ways that that racism manifests itself -- and the myriad ways that that racism affects business and development -- is an important step in the process ...
Anyway ...
Besides Fishnet, in College Park, there's the very good Ichiban (in Bowie) for sushi, along with some good preparations of Szechuan and Cantonese fare.
There's Henry's Soul Cafe (soul food) in Oxon Hill and Bangkok Golden (Thai) in Ft. Washington.
Also in Oxon Hill: the excellent bakery Desserts by Gerard, owned and operated by Gerard Huet, a former Watergate pastry chef (he does sandwiches, too, including a really good one with curried chicken salad and apples).
Franklin's Restaurant and Brewpub (comfort food and microbrews) in Hyattsville is a good neighborhood restaurant and a fun place to kill a couple of hours besides.
Hyattsville also has a new Busboys and Poets and the wonderful new Shortcake Bakery.
Da Rae Won in Beltsville has good Korean Chinese cooking. Pasta Plus, in Laurel, is one of the area's great neighborhood Italian restaurants. The Red, Hot and Blue in Laurel is the best of the several locations in the area.
Bobby's Burger Palace, in College Park, puts out a very good burger and very good thick shakes.
National Harbor, in Ft. Washington, has loads of restaurants, including a Rosa Mexicano. I'm not high on anything in particular here, but it's an attractive place to come and spend the day and have a nice if not too high-stakes meal.
Anthony Bourdain may have to go to Rome for great Cacio e Pepe, but I had an amazing one at Fiola the other night, simple, but very good.
I love going to restaurants a couple nights before Christmas in DC, no crowds and you can get in anywhere you want!
I had an amazing one there, too.
One of the things that's amazing is that it's such a simple dish -- no luxury ingredients, nothing remarkable about the presentation. Cheese, pepper, pasta are the foundational elements. What could be more basic? you think. Yet you come away from the table knowing there's no way in hell you could pull that off yourself at home.
And I'm with you on pre-X-mas dining; it's a great time to hit a restaurant that otherwise is booked solid in prime time.
Hi, Todd.
I'm actually anxious about the Jewish Deli coming to DC.
As someone who grew up in NY and noting for a really long time that it has notably been absent from DC - I'm worried that it will just be a superficial entrepreneur trying to capitalize on a Jewish Deli but in actuality it being little more than a sandwich shop/deli with a couple of "Jewish" items thrown in.
I sure hope they do it right!
I'm not anxious.
Hearing "artisanal" and "deli" in the same sentence, I agree, is initially unsettling, but as the owner of Kenny & Zuke's in Portland pointed out in a recent Wall Street Journal piece on new-breed Jewish restaurants, what he and others are doing is what deli owners did a hundred years ago -- before everything went mass-market in the post-war era and deli owners started buying their products from big conglomerates.
DGS Deli is going to be getting its bagels, bialys and breads from Mark Furstenburg's new bakery, Bread Furst, and will be making its corned beef and pastrami in-house. All its pickling will be done in-house, too. And Barry Koslow, who ran the kitchen at Mendocino Grille and at Tallula, is a talented chef.
Now, obviously, you can have a lot of great elements in place and still a restaurant doesn't quite come together the way it's supposed to. One thing that will be vitally important to DGS is a proper vibe. I don't mean that it should sound a nostaglic note. I mean that the food shouldn't be the only zesty thing about eating there. I realize that a craft cocktail list designed to rope in young singles is a prerequisite of every ambitious mid-level restaurant these days, but the atmosphere, here, is going to have to manage a tough balancing act. It can't be too cool and mod. Much more like klezmer, less like slick techno.
Just to react to a post from an earlier chat with a MUCH BETTER RECOMMENDATION.
Bon Mi on I Street is really disappointing. The bread is all wrong and the fillings are not much better. However, there is a place just next door called Axian.
It has really wonderful Noodle Soup and BiBimBop. I hesitate to share this with everyone because I don't want them to get too busy. I promise I am not affiliated in any way with this place.
I do however think that it may be some of the best Korean food in the City (not really saying much, but this place is good). The cooks make all of their sauces and the soup from scratch. They also have regular deli sandwiches that I have never tried, but really no point in going there if you are not going to try the Korean offerings. What are your favorite lunch only spots in DC right now, Todd? Give Axian a try.
Will do. Thanks for the tip.
If I'm limiting myself to places that are ONLY open at lunch, I'd have to say:
* Mangialardo and Sons on Capitol Hill for the really good Italian subs
* the Greek Deli on 19th St. downtown for gut-busting portions of Aegean comfort food
* The Best Sandwich Place on L St. downtown (I like the fresh-carved, hot-from-the-oven turkey breast sandwiches)
* Zola Wine and Kitchen, which is one of the best-kept lunch secrets in Penn Quarter, if not the city -- good sandwiches, fresh-made salads and terrific desserts.
So Todd, what is your favorite hangover food?
Just figured this time of year might be a good time to ask. I think mine would be pho, just a simple one with lots of good broth.
I mean, if it can work for a cold -- they call it the Vietnamese penicillin, after all -- then why not for a hangover?
I also like chilaquiles for that role -- topped with a fried egg -- and a big helping of doro wat.
Do you recommend Bistro Provence in Bethesda ? I work a block away, but had heard bad things about the service from coworkers. Has it improved or should I stick with Black's / Jaleo / Raku / Vace?
I guess we need to define what kind of service we're talking about. We're not talking about inattentive bad service, or careless service. We're talking about service with a little bit of hauteur. Would that be enough to dissuade you from a (probably) good meal?
My recent experience was better in that regard than some of my previous experiences had been. Of course, one waiter can make all the difference there. But still ...Don't we accept, to some degree, that at a French restaurant there's going to be a bit of what we in America would call attitude and in France they would not call anything at all -- much less think to comment upon?
Can you recommend good butchers in Northern Virginia? Looking for other options beside the Organic Butcher. Thank you
How about Let's Meet on the Avenue, on Mt. Vernon Ave. in Delray?
It channels the spirit of the old-time neighborhood butcher shop in its size and feel, but gears itself toward well-informed young professionals who go weak in the knees when they hear the terms "free-range" and "hormone-free." Fresh-cut bacon, tri-tip, local veal.
The owner, Steve Gatward, also makes his own sausage, and will even special-order a whole pig if you want.
Hi Todd,
I just found out I'm pregnant over the holiday weekend - my husband and I are thrilled, but of course in the "not telling anyone" phase. I know that all of the pregnancy-related dietary restrictions (no raw anything, no unpasteurized cheese) are going to make dining out a little tricky. I know your wife just gave birth to a little one - how did she handle all the restrictions? Are there any restaurants that are particularly accommodating? Thanks!
First of all, congratulations. It's an exciting time, I know. Also an anxious time.
My wife can make adjustments on the fly like nobody's business, so I'm not sure she's a good one to study. Restrictions don't faze her. At one point, while she was trying to become pregnant, she met with an Eastern medicine specialist, who made significant changes to her diet -- changes I would never have never accepted. Or: not accepted without constant comment about what I was being forced to eat and give up.
And then of course there are the changes to the body that, in some women, make certain foods intolerable. Shellfish is one. The mere smell of mussels made my wife turn a dismaying shade of green. I was at dinner with her one night at Beck, and had promised there would be no mussels on the table. Didn't matter. The table next to us had ordered them, and the steam drifted over.
Giving up lunchmeat wasn't hard for her. Nor was wine (though she did occasionally ask to "nose" a glass of white Burgundy). But giving up sushi was a bit of a sacrifice, since it was such a staple of her diet. A couple of weeks ago I took her out for a sort or sushi blow-out meal, complete with sake, to pamper her. She said she'd been waiting for that night for nearly a year.
I found most restaurants to be very accommodating with a pregnant diner -- altering dishes if need be, and taking the time to guide her through the menu and what could and could not be ordered.
If I can offer some advice? Let them know at the time you make the reservation that you're pregnant, in this way giving them a good bit of time to prepare for your arrival. ...
I'm off to lunch everyone. Have a great New Year's Eve, and enjoy this quiet-ish week with your families and friends ...
Be well, eat well, and let's do it again next week at 11 ...
