Tonight: Dirt Farm's Ben Claassen, and anti–Valentine's Day poetry
Galaxy Hut hosts a Dirt Farm Valentine's Day featuring new works by satiric comic-strip artist Ben Claassen, whose works appear in City Paper and the Examiner. The Arlington venue, which already features his paintings on the walls, is replacing them with a bunch of new paintings. The night also features music by The Torches and Third Channel, and Baltimore stand-up comedians Mickey Free and Ellie Beziat. 8 p.m. $5.
For the haters. Mothertongue Anti-Valentine's Day Slam features a night of spoken word at Black Cat. 8 p.m. $8.
What would you do to make it? How far would you go? Is the enterprise of American capitalism working? In Civilization (All You Can Eat), six professionals living in the city fight to make it to the top. Jason Grote's satiric play opens at Woolly Mammoth Theatre. Tickets online.

I've used a spray on lacquer that leaves a matte finish. Apply it in light coats, ie do not lather it in large amounts. Light coats allows for a proper drying and looks good in the end. Test your spray on a piece of basswood if you are not sure of your product. Hope this will help. RH

So do we think the iwatch is really going to happen? Personally I just don't see it.
iOS 8, which should be shown off this summer and ship later this fall, is codenamed Okemo, and one of the tentpole features could be HealthBook, a new app that will monitor your fitness activity and health information from the iPhone 6 and iWatch as centrally and easily as Passbook currently collects your tickets and cards. Mark Gurman, 9to5Mac:
The software will be capable of monitoring and storing fitness statistics such as steps taken, calories burned, and miles walked. Furthermore, the app will have the ability to manage and track weight loss. [...] The application will be able to track a person's blood pressure, hydration levels, heart rate, and potentially several other blood-related data points, such as glucose levels, according to our sources.
On the list of things Apple's unique approach to problem solving could benefit most, health sits near the top. Slowly, inexorably, they've been putting all the pieces together. All that remains to be seen is if it's ready for primetime this year. Of course, this would put iOS into direct competition with all the fitness apps in App Store, including Nike's, which counts Tim Cook as a board member. It's possible other apps will be allowed access to the same sensor information, and could potentially offer features outside Apple's focus, but Apple is going to enjoy the first, best level of integration on the devices. And that's a huge advantage, especially for the mainstream Apple targets.
Go read the rest of Gurman's report, then come back and let me know what you think. Big screen aside, is health and fitness the silver bullet you'd need to put the iPhone 6 and iWatch on the top of your most wanted tech list?

So do we think the iwatch is really going to happen? Personally I just don't see it.
That what was said about the iPhone and iPad. Never say never :)
My understanding is that it's actively being worked on at Apple.
Cool. Well your gut feeling is a lot more accurate than mine I am sure. I guess I just really don't know what to expect.
Funny you say. That i was the opposite with the, iphone. i was early on in the napster world and all i was thinking was they need a hard drive machine to store all my songs. Then a soon as the ipod came out i thought. Truth is they should make a phone and a camera and have a killer device. Everyone was saying the same thing on the net back in the day so when the iphone hit, my thought was "it's about time. This has been a no brainer for a few years. What took so long." Now the ipad. I was with you. Didn't see it. I'll be honest unless an "iWatch" is made and looks like a Cartier, IWC, Rolex, Montblanc, Piaget etc, i'd never wear it. The tech watch look doesn't appeal to me. I wear a watch solely for style reasons. The one place i can see it being useful is in the context of working out, like gps tracking, heart rate, monitoring etc, Basically like high end sports watches. But then again i buying one of those isn't gonna happen from me. I'm not saying it won't happen or that people won't buy it. Speaking solely for myself, the ideas and rumors i've seen thrown out so far haven't peaked my interest in an iwatch.
From a health monitoring perspective, I think the iWatch must be considered the key for all of this to come together. I don't think Apple would just make a 'me too' device like a watch - albeit a smart watch - because most people don't want another watch, even if it does relieve you of pulling your phone out of your pocket to check messages etc. What's the benefit? So the watch must the the secret sauce. Strapped onto your wrist, with the blah blah sensors looking at your arteries to report all sorts of cool biometrics, it suddenly becomes the killer feature that encourages more people to want/need a 'watch'. I can imagine iBeacons near the chocolate bars - No! Don't eat that!

Yup. Personal technology getting even more personal. Apple's reason for being.
I would say for me personally I'm more concern about the iPhone 6 & iOS 8 thats on the Top of my list for right now

That is great they are adding a health aspect to iOS. Can't wait to see what they have planned.

Definitely want more battery life instead of more features right now. I don't really care for a bigger screen but it's inevitable when you have to put in a larger battery.
So they are going to do the same thing as Samsung did and limit iWatch functionality to new devices only? I thought it of Samsung, and will think it if true of Apple. This is incredibly short sighted.
Now, if certain features of the iWatch will be compatible with the iPhone 6 only, that I can see and understand.
Sent from the iMore App
I wouldn't be surprised if any new products works best with other new products, but also have some functionality with older ones, less with really old ones (based simply on capability.)
There's no way the iWatch will work with a device that isn't equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 and M7 chip inside.
Personally I don't see this being "big news". Although healthier options are becoming the thing for Americans, I just don't see this sort of integration really being a big deal for the average consumer. I do think their are users out there who will love this and actively use it, but the average Joe.. I just don't see it.
I do think it's kind of cool however. But maybe that's because it's tied to this apparent iWatch. I think that's what will make it enticing but even then... I don't know. Someone see themselves integrating this into their daily lives?
Biggest thing I'm excited for is iOS 8 and the physical features of the iPhone 6! :-p
Hopefully iOS 8 shows more functionality and performance improvements than just adding a health feature. iOS 7 was a great start and I'd hate to see it lose momentum.
Sent from the iMore App
So if it spurted out Big Macs, it'd be more mainstream? :)
If you replace Macs with iPads, then you have yourself a product. :-p
Looks like the M7 was just the beginning of a chipset revolution. Coupled with the potential uses Touch ID presents, it looks like Apple is poised to change the focus of the smartphone spec wars away from screen size and resolution.

Although I'm not as excited for these health/fitness functionalities as I do for the possibility of a larger iPhone and a more developed iOS, I still think this is a great move for Apple and I know a lot will benefit from these functionalities.
I also liked how confident Cook was about what their next step will be for sensors. Heck, maybe Apple will finally be the one to bring these functionalities closer to the mainstream.
Yeah, I'm particularly excited by sensors, because they silently do their job in the background and somehow enhance our lives, reporting what we need to know. More and more the 'smart' in smart phone becomes smarter, analysing our sleep patterns, food habits, and, if we want, making suggestions. Sensors in the toilet communicate what comes out of our body, because, as we know, 'everything comes down to poo', and suddenly our anxiety levels will either go up or down. But we will know that, because the sensors will report it, play some soothing music and massage our wrist (dependent upon the actual wearables we own). We also know it is inevitable. Someone just needs to put the pieces together and make it easily accessible.

If I think about all of the people that I know who own iPhones, I see an incredibly small portion of them being interested in a health orientated watch regardless of whether it syncs to the phone or what it measures.
Then there are the people who already own a decent watch, myself included. I wouldn't want to buy a smart watch which, in order for it to provide accurate results would presumably have to be worn as frequently as possible, rendering other owned watches useless.
I think their best bet would be to avoid the whole watch bracket it has somehow ended up in and use their expertise with miniaturisation and sensors to build a simple, screenless and most importantly small (metallic?) wristband that can be worn alongside a watch, measuring and recording what it needs to, without duplicating functionality. It could incorporate some small lights to alert you to things (battery levels, unusual readings) which could also appear on your phone (notifications/in app) and maybe a vibration motor. That would also allow the product to have a far better battery life and also a smaller battery leading to a smaller size and shorter recharge time. Also this could be produced and sold cheaper than some form of watch combo.
Just my opinion but I think that would be the better route to take based on myself and the iPhone users that I know.
I am willing to bet that MANY many people will see the iWatch (and of course the aftermarket iWatch accessories) as extremely worthy of replacing their current Timex or Casio, though probably not a watch that costs more than a Fabergé egg (for reasons of pride and expense justification more than actual fashion sense or practicality, I'll bet). I haven't been waiting for an iWatch any more than I was waiting for an iPad, but once it was born and it improved over time the iPad became everywhere; I'm quite certain the same will be true for the iWatch. Maybe not the first generation though early adopters will go googoo over it, but in five years you won't be able to walk down a city street without seeing them EVERYWHERE. I can't wait. If it works with the 5S I will probably get one as soon as it breaks through the placenta. :)

I probably should have been clearer in my first comment.
Most of the iPhone users I know simply aren't interested enough in monitoring their health as to want one of these.
I can't imagine that the price will be low enough to draw those that are on the fence into buying one on the off chance that it will be something they will like or want.
There is obviously a decent market of those who are interested enough in their health but I wouldn't have thought it was big enough to warrant Apple into spending the R&D and production costs.
That said, people can speculate all they want but nobody will know for sure until it's announced.
I'm sure whatever new product(s) they release this year will be successful but I would be surprised if it is a "Smart Watch". A minimalistic sensor laden wristband would be my guess if they are doing anything for a wrist but who knows!
Sent from the iMore App
You have see the 50 million or so fitness trackers out there now, right? So someone (many someones) thinks people are interested.
With a good enough price, and Apple secret sauce, I think it could be a big hit. Through in a little bit of notifications from your iPhone and it could be a blockbuster.
If it were a wristband (or an option to have all the sensors without the 'watch' element), and assuming it had a killer feature set, would you wear it on your other wrist? Personally, I think I would consider that more convenient.
Sent from the iMore App
for me a watch is there for style. It's a fashion accessory. Like a dress watch you wear with a suit. Any watch that looks like a casio or something more tech or digital (like a sports watch) isn't fashionable and i wouldn't wear with any frequency and especially not with most of my clothes. I don't think it would be my thing. Maybe if it was cheap and a sports watch i could use it for jogging but i wouldn't suspect it would be cheap. I don't think i'd ever wear two devices. I personally don't even wear one most of the time.
(Note: This post duplicates one I just left on the discussions thread about the iWatch)
I have long believed mobile devices should address two major purposes: to serve;and to protect.
Existing smartphones and tablets serve well. They meet entertainment, knowledge, productivity and even some health service needs well.
But they are lousy at protecting, and I think this is what Apple intends to fix with what I have notionally called the "iWatch Guardian".
I expect an iWatch able to provide basic protection on its own. Pairing it with an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad would add bonus features to the essentials covered by the watch.
The iWatch Guardian would have both WiFi and cellular connectivity, enabling constant Siri connection.
What would it do? Well, just one example, impacts.
The Guardian would know your vital particulars, and use them to look after your interests. If the watch recorded an impact to your body, for example, it would know that at age 30 you would likely shrug that level of impact off, but at 80 years, it might be life-threatening, and act accordingly. It could just ask the 30-year-old if he was OK, but take action calling 911 if an 80-year-old didn't reply right away to a similar query. As the A7 chip does now, it would know if you are walking, in a car, or on public transport. It would know and be able to report a bike or car accident, including location and the response it was getting from you. Your medical information, stored in the same secure A7 compartment that has fingerprint data, could be shared with properly-identified first responders.
Sensors in the Guardian could perform a variety of tasks: verification of pacemaker performance; glucose or heart-rate monitoring; the taking of medications, etc.
The tasks that could be performed by an iWatch Guardian are almost unlimited, once you begin to think guardianship. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors? Why not. Dermal sensors to warn of fever? Sure.
Why a watch for this? Because you strap it on and it is always on your body, unlike the iPhone, which often is away from your body.
Paired with another iDevice, the iWatch Guardian could conduct more sophisticated compilation and presentation of information than would be possible on the watch alone.
That's my start on where I think Apple may be headed.
It sounds great but if they proprietary lock down acess, hello Siri, it'll keep falling behind the curve based on Apple's goals/plans and where on that list it fits.
I hope it is true though. The hydration, etc parts are intriguing. Step counting is useless to me but a true activity monitor with the extra bells wrapped in a high quality package (I'd expect nothing less from them) would be appealing.
Biggest problem for me: won't work with non-iOS and I'm now downgrading my tech experience by switching back to iOS. :-)
I would fully expect to see more than just health related functionality. I would love to also see this thing integrated with iBeacons. Driving on the toll road? Hit the express lane and glance at your watch to see the charge go through. Dining at your favorite restaurant? Your watch just calculated the bill split and tip for everyone and paid your share with your standard tip percentage. Since it knows the calorie count of the taco salad you just ate it adds 40m of walking to your evening schedule and Siri calls your wife to tattle on you...
This is all very cool but I hope there's more to iOS 8 than this. I want to see touch id on iPads, and 3rd party app integration. I'd love to see user accounts on the iPad controlled by touch id. Improvements to notification center and actionable notifications. My hope is Apple has separate engineers working on this health related stuff and the core software/human interface folks are working on iOS 8.
As cool as all of this is, we all know the media and public will be focused on two things: what iOS 8 and the new iPhones look like.
This should be low on the list of things that need sorting out on iOS. Default apps, a sharing menu that can compete with android, better notifications are all much more important than this health stuff which at best is niche and at worse a samsung level of gimmickry
Those are geek needs. Geeks are the minority. Health is a mainstream thing.
I do think this could be pretty cool. As an owner of a FitBit, I would like something more integrated.

What's more important than health?
i don't know, family, friends, your job, money, lots of other things. life is too short to be counting calories all the time and being a slave to the gym. all this health BS is just a fad right now and its made to scare people into buying those types of goods and services. underneath all that it's all about making money. they could probably care less about the actual well-being of the consumer.
I think with all this health bull****, it's a passing phase and to make people paranoid about fitness is the wrong approach to mental health. If your head is constantly thinking about your weight and stupid steps taken how many miles you've walk who gives a sh**. All I want to know is I'm breathing I'm eating healthy and working out an hour a day will keep me fit, what happened to the days of a doctor check up every six months and a clock. Common people you are all week if you need to re-assure yourselves with all this technological jargon, it's like the Nintendo Wii !! "novelty" give the companies what they want! Your money for stupid gadgets!. Remember Novelties wear off?, and it's back to square one for the laymen.
I'm not that interested in wearables as they are now. When I'm able to slap a fully fledged phone on my wrist...then I'll lay my money on the table.
With regards to health and fitness, all people need to do is cut ALL the crappy food your body doesn't need out of your diet.
Eat the food that's GOOD for you and....

I really hope ios8 comes with a dark skin/theme.
All I have to say is for a watch to be something comparable to the iPhone or iPad. It needs a reason for people to put it on. Once you put it on another reason never to take it off. All smart watch players are coming into a world where the majority of people don't wear watches anymore. If you wear a watch try taking it off for a week. The feeling of freedom makes putting the watch back on something that doesn't seem necessary especially when it's only function is to tell time. A while back the scenario would have been different most people wore watches and so having a watch that was able to do more than just tell the time would be worth it. If the watch does something that takes away the need for it to be done on the phone or iPad increasing battery life that is a reason right there. What is the thing you hear most smartphone and tablet users complaining about? battery life. it's the reason mophie juice packs and all the other portable chargers exists. So if with an iWatch I go from charging my iPhone once a day to once every 2 or 3 days. It's a reason to both spend more than $100 and to wear it. When the iPhone was announced lots of people had feature phones so the transition was inevitable. When the iPad was announced the benefits were clear at the very least email and internet anywhere on a screen bigger than our smartphone. The iWatch at least for me I just can't come up with what is the killer feature that makes it more than a want but a need?
I think the iWatch will come out running like a bunny with the first go around and knock people's socks off like the first iPhone and the first iPad did. And I'll admit I immediately felt the urge to have the first iPhone as soon as I held it, though I wasn't instantly convinced with the first iPad. After several generations however, both the iPhone and the iPad are ubiquitous along with their many copycat devices. After a couple of iterations, I think the same will be true for the iWatch (or whatever Apple decides to call it) and it's many copycat devices. And yes we have the Samsung and Pebble smartwatches, but the new Apple device will compete in a new way. Health being the tip of the iceberg albeit a very pointy tip with lasers coming out of it.

Apple won't necessarily compete with Nike, etc. with Healthbook. Right now, third-party apps interact with Passbook by putting there info into the app. health book could very likely work the same way, by aggregating your vital statistics. Would be nice, too, because I have several apps that only keep track of some of the things I want to- none keep track of everything I want to...
any one know exact date of iphone 6 arrival ?

Gen-i Offers Globys' Splitview Billing Solution
Globys, a provider of customer experience solutions, today announced that Gen-i, a member of the Telecom New Zealand Group, has deployed Globys SplitView among its business customers.
Branded through Gen-i as "Cost Manager Mobile," Globys' SplitView solution essentially divides a user's bill between personal and business expenses and then distributes the associated invoices.
The solution includes an online interface for defining policy rules among a company, group or specific individual and helps businesses recoup an employee's personal costs, while allowing employees to fully use their business device as they see fit.
For example, a telecom manager may define personal charges for the sales team as any data charges in excess of $20 per month, contact to anyone outside of client and corporate directories, and any weekend use. The solution's automated technology then applies the cost rules each month and invoices are divided and distributed according to corporate and personal liabilities.
"With the growth of enterprise mobile usage and data-intensive devices, the ability for Gen-i to offer our business customers an efficient way to manage the cumbersome process of split billing is highly valuable," said Joe Caccioppoli, Gen-i head of Product Marketing, in a statement.

Group text is all the rage and Google wants in.
Google has launched a new app group-texting app for iPhone which allows you to put your contacts book into groups and message them en masse.
The Disco app, and corresponding website Disco.com, is a product of Google's in-house Slide start-up and, strangely enough, is only available for iPhone rather than launching on the Android platform.
The application which allows users to have an IM-like discussion with multiple members through text-messaging joins contenders like Fast Society, Beluga and GroupMe which offer a similar service.
The bare-bones application, which capitalises on an increasing interest in group messaging presents users with an IM-like experience and even allows users to pull numbers in from their Facebook friends and add them into the mix.
You'll need to register your own number, and anyone you add to a group will be notified by text message. This is an interesting one. Group-texting seems to be taking-off at the moment, despite the range of free internet-based IM options so it'll be interesting to see how things go from here.

WARSAW — Size matters. Columbia City Eagle Head Coach Randy Hudgens summed up the opening football game Friday when he said, "Our margin for error is not very big when we play a 6A team."
For the Eagles' errors — an interception returned for a touchdown, an 82-yard punt return, a lost onside kick, and another interception deep in their own territory — all added up to a 33-14 season-opening loss to the homestanding Warsaw Tigers.
"Near-misses on offense and just-misses on defense are not things we can afford to do when we are a smaller-roster 4A school," Hudgins said.

Members of Congress, staffers, and Facebook developers will convene for the first-ever Congressional Facebook Developer Hackathon next month to examine ways social media can interact with legislative data and communication with constituents.
"As social media increasingly plays a central role in all areas of our everyday life, it is essential that Congress fully incorporate these platforms into its daily operations," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., in a statement. The event will take place on Dec. 7.
Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Congress has a "duty" to embrace new technologies to help make government more transparent.
"Americans have a right to petition government, and new online technologies are giving that right exciting new possibilities," he said in a statement. "We welcome the help and advice of industry leaders like Facebook, as well as individuals and academics who have innovative ideas on how to do so."
The Hackathon is open to the public and Hill staffers, with more information available on Cantor's website.

Florida horsemen warn Calder over purse agreement
The Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association has warned Calder Race Course that it will withdraw its consent for the track to import any simulcast signals on July 25 unless the track comes to an agreement with the organization on a purse contract for Calder's ongoing summer meet, the horsemen's association said.
The horsemen's group issued the warning in a letter sent to Calder on Tuesday, according to the association's executive director, Kent Stirling. Last week, the horsemen's association sent letters to the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering as well, saying that Calder should not be allowed to operate its casino without the purse agreement in place.
The warning is the latest escalation in an ongoing dispute with Calder over purse distribution amid Calder's clash with neighboring Gulfstream Park, which is running head to head with Calder this summer for the very first time. So far, Gulfstream, which has the more prominent brand name among horseplayers, appears to be winning the battle, with slightly larger fields and at least double the amount of handle on its cards.
Calder has been running without a purse agreement with its horsemen since opening its meet in April. The two sides have clashed on policies regarding shipping and stall space.
Horsemen have the right to block a track's simulcasts under a federal law. The Florida horsemen's association said it would not block the distribution of Calder's simulcast signals to out-of-state sites, limiting the ban to incoming simulcasts only.

Video:Photography: Aperture Overviewwith Chris Davis
Aperture is an adjustable opening on a camera lens, which works like the iris in your eye. Learn more how to adjust aperture and how it affects photos with this helpful About.com video.See Transcript
Transcript:Photography: Aperture Overview
Hi I'm Chris Davis for About.com. Understanding how a cameras aperture functions will impact your overall photography. Let's take a look at how the aperture works.
How to Adjust Aperture
The easiest way to adjust your aperture is to place your camera into the aperture priority mode. Generally this is represented by the letters Av.
What is Aperture
Aperture works by controlling the size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken. It is measured in f-stops which is merely a number that represents the size of the aperture opening. The larger the opening the more light you are allowing into the camera. Where it gets a little tricky, is that f-stop numbers get bigger as the aperture gets smaller. It may seem a little backwards but an f-stop of 2.8 is much larger than an f-stop 22.
How Photos are Affected by Aperture
Once you wrap your head around that concept. It's actually a fairly simple setting to understand. You can adjust your aperture up or down. Moving from one f-stop to the next doubles or halves the size of the aperture opening depending on which way you make the adjustment.
The most immediate impact you will see by changing the aperture will be the depth of field of your photograph. Depth of field describes how much of your image within the photograph is in focus. A shallow depth of field, will result in one portion of your subject in focus with the foreground and background blurred. A large depth of field will result in most of your image in focus.
In this first photo an aperture setting of f-22 was used. You will notice that most everything from the front to the back of the scene is in focus. This second photo the frame remained the same, however, the aperture was set to an f-top of 4.5. Notice how the background has become blurred highlighting the subject.
Aperture for Photography Styles
In general for landscape photography you will tend to use a small aperture setting. This will increase the focus from the foreground to the horizon.
Portrait photography, however, tends to use a large aperture to produce a blurry background. This will keep the main focus on your subject.
A quick way to remember how aperture effects depth of field is that a small f-stop number will create a small depth of field, and large f-stop number will create a large depth of field.

Here are the latest Detroit Red Wings news and rumors for July 16, 2012:
• If the Columbus Blue Jackets pull the trigger on a long-rumored Rick Nash trade, GM Scott Howson has said he wants "NHL forwards" back (and his reported request of young superstar Jeff Skinner from the Hurricanes definitely hints at that thought.)
But do the Red Wings have anyone that fits the bill? Valtteri Filppula, with one year left on his current contract, could be an option; other possibilities include Justin Abdelkader (currently a restricted free agent) or veterans like Danny Cleary and Johan Franzen, though the latter's massive contract would make him hard to deal.
The most intriguing name, though, according to Sean Gentille? Gustav Nyquist, who might have the talent and potential to catch Columbus' attention. — The Sporting News
• The Red Wings appeared to land a pretty solid 2012 draft class, despite trading their first-round pick to land Kyle Quincey. But how long will it take Martin Frk, Jake Peterson and the rest of Detroit's picks to be NHL-ready? — Hockey's Future
• Speaking of Red Wings youngsters … Teemu Pulkkinen turned in a solid developmental camp effort and will be back with Detroit in September for training camp. All indications, though, are that the gifted forward will spend next season in Finland before joining the Wings' organization for the 2013-14 campaign. And Pulkinnen says this coming year is "so important" in his future. — Free Press
• From the young to the old: Dominik Hasek "will play and will excel," according to his agent. The 47-year-old netminder previously said that he would try to make one final go of it in the NHL, and now he just needs to find a team. — Rotoworld
• Has Detroit lost its luster as a destination for NHL free agents? Recent events seem to indicate that may be possible, but Red Wings GM Ken Holland remains steadfast in his belief that Hocketown still has plenty to offer. — The Morning Sun
• Missing out on Ryan Suter ensured that Detroit would have to give plenty of ice time this coming year to second-year defenseman Brendan Smith. That's just fine with the youngster, who thinks he can step in and perform well over a full season. — Detroit News

Who is the most powerful Texan in Washington? The answer is usually pretty impressive. Over the years, the state has sent to the capital three presidents, three vice presidents, three House Speakers, a Senate majority leader, three House majority leaders, and a Supreme Court justice.
Today the mantle has fallen to Senator John Cornyn. Though the state's senior senator, Kay Bailey Hutchison, has been in office a full decade longer, her failed run for governor battered her reputation and left a cloud of uncertainty around her future. Several House members have high profiles—Ron Paul, Pete Sessions, Chet Edwards, Jeb Hensarling, Joe Barton—but none have the stature of Cornyn, who has, in a few short years, become one of his party's most prominent spokesmen.
Tall and white-haired, with the bearing of the state Supreme Court justice he once was, Cornyn has become a go-to television Republican, appearing regularly on the news programs to dispense his particular style of Concerned Conservatism. Even railing against the Obama administration, Cornyn never seems angry; he only seems … concerned. He has a habit of flexing his forehead while speaking, drawing together his eyebrows in an expression of gentle worry that gives everything he says a vague air of condolence, as if he's just come from a funeral. In an era of tea party rage, he has found a niche as the kindly face of the Republican brand.
Not that he's any less conservative than his brethren. During his first term, he stepped out on several wedge issues, co-sponsoring amendments banning flag burning and gay marriage and stealing some of the limelight during the Terri Schiavo affair. As the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Cornyn is currently in charge of his party's effort to retake the Senate, which is based almost entirely on staunch opposition. He is not above taunting the president on his Facebook page, which he updates regularly and which 13,479 people "like" as of this writing (far more than Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell's anemic 1,414 but far fewer than John McCain's robust 622,342 and Barack Obama's steroidal 11,354,849). I spoke with Cornyn in late July, the day after the Senate passed the financial reform bill along mostly partisan lines (he voted against it) and several days before he would vote against confirming Elena Kagan, President Obama's Supreme Court nominee.
The Senate has often been described as the "world's greatest deliberative body," but it's hard to imagine anyone calling it that right now. How well does it function today?
One of my favorite descriptions of the Senate is the first hundred pages of Robert Caro's book Master of the Senate. It chronicles the different roles the Senate has had in our nation's history. Sometimes it has been where the leaders of the country—Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, and Henry Clay, just to name a few—have come from, but that was at a time when the presidency was not the focus of federal power as much as the Senate was. I've only been here since 2002, as you know.
How has it changed since then?
When I got here, it was a very different place. George Bush was president; we had 51 Republicans in the Senate and the majority in the House. Now, after a couple of disastrous elections in 2006 and 2008, I'm a member of the loyal opposition of the minority party. I think the Senate is so polarized right now because the party power is so lopsided. Anytime either party looks like they can basically go it alone, there is always that temptation to do it.
Let's talk about the financial reform bill. You voted against it and called it an "aggressive power grab" by the Democrats. But don't the American people want some power grabbed back from the Wall Street banks that drove our economy into the ditch in the first place?
Well, I certainly support reforms that would prevent bailouts and prevent this concept of "too big to fail." Unfortunately, I didn't think this bill accomplished that. It also overreached and put a firm regulatory stranglehold on Main Street, credit unions, community banks, and other folks that didn't have anything to do with the financial meltdown. It also had

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - University of New Mexico redshirt freshman Kelli Cornell has been named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week as announced by the conference office today. The San Clemente, Calif., native was rewarded for her performance in a 1-0 victory over TCU on Oct. 3 in the Lobos MWC opener. The award is the second for Cornell and the fifth overall for New Mexico this season.
"It feels great to win this award," said Cornell. "It's exciting because we are doing really well as a team. It was great to get the first win of conference and to win this award. It was a great addition to a great effort by our team."
Cornell faced 17 shots and made three key saves. TCU came in to the match averaging 2.18 goals per game and was held to nil by Cornell. The win puts Cornell in a tie for fourth place all-time at UNM for wins (9) in a single season and the shutout puts her in a tie for third place all-time for shutouts in a single season. Cornell leads the conference in goals allowed average (0.48), shutouts (8) and is ranked second in save percentage (.833).

Did everyone eat a shit ton of food yesterday? Are you getting amped up for leftovers today? Well, celebs had their feasts yesterday too, with some looking a bit better than others'. Of course, MUCH of this food was catered and you can tell. Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner tried to pretend they had home cooking, but their Instagram followers weren't fooled and called them out on having chefs/caterers for the big day, LOL. Justin Bieber's dinner looked like the most un-fun thing ever. Just looking at these is making me hungry.

Hi Guys,
I wanted to know of there is any racing fans or any people involved in racing in the horse forum community. I absolutely love horse racing (there are some aspects of it that I really do not like as well) and thought it would be fun to start a discussion about it. I am just a spectator of the sport (and a photographer, but not a professional one hehe :)) My dream one day is to become a racehorse trainer. I know that's not going to happen, but hey I can dream :P. Anyone else a racing fan or involved in the sport?

Spatio-temporal variability of hyporheic exchange through a pool-riffle-pool sequence
Gariglio, Frank P.; Tonina, Daniele; Luce, Charles H. 2013. Spatio-temporal variability of hyporheic exchange through a pool-riffle-pool sequence. Water Resources Research. Accepted paper. doi: 10.1002/wrcr.20419.
Stream water enters and exits the streambed sediment due to hyporheic fluxes, which stem primarily from the interaction between surface water hydraulics and streambed morphology. These fluxes sustain a rich ecotone, whose habitat quality depends on their direction and magnitude. The spatio-temporal variability of hyporheic fluxes is not well understood over several temporal scales and consequently, we studied their spatial and temporal variation over a pool-riffle-pool sequence at multiple locations from winter to summer. We instrumented a poolriffle- pool sequence of Bear Valley Creek, an important salmonid spawning gravel-bed stream in central Idaho, with temperature monitoring probes recording at high temporal resolution (12- minute intervals). Using the thermal time series, weekly winter season seepage fluxes were calculated with a steady-state analytical solution and spring-summer fluxes with a new analytical solution that can also quantify the streambed thermal properties. Longitudinal pool-riffle-pool conceptualizations of downwelling and upwelling behavior were generally observed, except during the winter season when seepage fluxes tended towards downwelling conditions. Seepage fluxes near the edges of the channel were typically greater than fluxes near the center of the channel, and demonstrated greater seasonal variability. Results show that the interaction between streamflow and streambed topography has a primary control near the center of the channel whereas the interaction between stream water and groundwater table has a primary control on seepage fluxes near the banks of the stream.

When it comes to choosing a subject to paint, one of the most
convenient is the face you see in the mirror every day. But
self-portraiture comes with a complicated set of questions—how do you
see yourself versus how do you present yourself? What are you trying to
communicate with the work? Who will see it and why? Perhaps the most
important questions of all: What are you as the artist hoping to get
out of the process?

I'm waiting for next sick game from You :D
Hey ruMpel, now that Valve has made Half Life 1 available for Mac (which likely took a considerable amount of code changes), do you plan on making this available for Mac, too? I guess since it's a standalone game now, it has a different code repo (now its own trunk, not just a branch), but I'd totally love to see a Mac-compatible version.
they would pretty much have to recode the game, so no
I mean, it already uses OpenGL, so the graphics rendering wouldn't be much of an issue (whereas some games I know of and love used DirectX and are therefore stuck with Windows, which is really sad).
yeah, but the rest would need to be recoded as well.
Shouldn't take too long to recode it if you're an experienced programmer...
I can't find any internet servers, could anyone tell me if this is something on my part or is it a problem with the game itself? I downloaded it on Steam by the way.
No known server browser works for Cry of Fear at the moment, and I don't know if it ever will...
Damn it.
Highest Rated (56 agree) 9/10
The best horror mod I've ever had the pleasure of playing. I spoke with Andreas in a notable interview a few months back and ever since have held an enormous respect for the man and what it is he sees in his projects, in his "horror", and in himself. Cry of Fear has finally launched and with it comes a turning point in open source gaming, modding, creative expression and a revitalization of the almost dead psychological modern horror that we have come to see in Jacob's Ladder, Silent Hill, Afraid…

Lowest Rated (51 agree) 5/10
Don't get me wrong on this one, regardless of anything I might have stirred up before now, I wanted to like this mod. But you have to realize, yes, it was in development for quite a long time, I've heard 4 years, and they've obviously got talent, but they just didn't use that talent properly, to be brutally honest. I'm not going to complain too much about the jump scares, because you DO need to throw a few at the player, if you want that horror atmosphere to mean anything. But there's such a thing…

Watching Our Wasteline: Holiday waste reduction and recycling notes for year's end
The Orange County Solid Waste Management team wishes our readers a very happy holiday season! The Solid Waste Convenience Centers will close early at noon on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24. They will be closed on Dec. 25, and reopen Dec. 27. They will also be closed Jan. 1. The Solid Waste Administrative office at 1207 Eubanks Road will be closed Dec. 24-26 and Jan. 1.
If we do have a "White Christmas" (or snow on any other day) visit the "Inclement weather" page on our website at www.orangecountync.gov/recycling/weather.asp for updates, or call our office at 919-968-2788. The phone recording will reflect any changes in the schedule due to weather or the holidays.
Curbside recycling will not be collected on Christmas Day or New Years' Day. Service will shift to the following Saturday: Dec. 28 and Jan. 5, respectively. Garbage cans and recycling bins can both overflow this time of year, so do your best to keep it tidy by adhering to these recycling rules:
--Have your bins out by 7 a.m., or better yet the night before. Our drivers hustle to get their routes done during the holiday season, and with more people out of town, curbside recycling can be collected quickly. Drivers may be covering different routes and may drive the route in a different order so don't count on the trucks coming at the "regular time."
--Empty and flatten cardboard boxes, 3 feet by 3 feet or smaller, 10 or fewer at a time. Gifts and decor may arrive in boxes filled packing material, but boxes can't be recycled that way! Remove packing material, break the boxes down flat, and stack underneath, inside or between your recycling bins to prevent blowing. Corrugated cardboard is banned from landfill disposal in Orange County, therefore it must be recycled. Most apartment complexes have cardboard Dumpsters, and our 24-hour recycling drop-off sites or solid waste convenience centers will take as many boxes as you have at one time. Bring any Styrofoam, bubble wrap or air-paks to local packaging stores such as UPS for them to reuse.
--Prepare accepted items properly. Curbside and apartment recycling is collected single-stream now. All paper, cans and bottles can go in one bin or cart. Include non-metallic wrapping paper, gift cards, newspaper, junk mail, school or office paper, newspaper, magazines, phonebooks, cereal boxes, milk, juice or other food cartons, any clean, dry paper that tears. Of course you can reuse wrapping paper. No crockery, tree ornaments, Pyrex, mirrors, drinking glass or light bulbs in recycling bins or carts, please. Never ever leave plastic bags at the curb or at apartment cart sites.
--Use the drop-off sites properly. Put all recyclables in the Dumpsters. If they're full, try another site. Don't leave recyclables on the ground, and never leave trash at the sites. That's illegal dumping!
The Orange County Landfill closes at noon on Dec. 24 and reopens Dec. 26 at 7 a.m. as usual. If you're having an oyster roast, remember to recycle your oyster shells at the County Landfill 1514 Eubanks Road from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to noon Saturday. They will be returned to the coast to become habitat for growing new oysters. Deep frying turkeys, latkes, and other holiday foods can result in lots of extra used cooking oil. Bring that to the Orange County landfill hazardous household waste collection for recycling into biodiesel. Operating hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. to noon Saturday. Bring un-served food to the IFC Community House at 100 W. Rosemary St. in Chapel Hill.
All three towns offer Christmas tree recycling at the curb as part of regular brush collection. Remove all decorations, including tinsel, and follow your town's rules regarding length and girth of tree for collection. You can also drop your tree off at Solid Waste Convenience Centers (except Bradshaw Quarry Road) during operating hours or better yet, just toss it in the woods to become part of the landscape again.
There are more ideas than ever for how to have a "green" holiday that is not just fir trees, holly and mistletoe. Many crafty ideas cost less money, bring you closer to your local community and have a gentler impact on the earth. A set of articles penned over the past few years by Sheryl Eisenberg for the Natural Resources Defense Council provide great guidelines on gift giving, entertaining and teaching children about consumption, and can be found at http://www.nrdc.org/thisgreenlife/.
Here are some ideas from the "waste-free" school of gifting.
--Give the gift of time, as in several hours of respite for parents or other caregivers.
--Give friends and family a walking tour of your downtown, neighborhood, or favorite natural area.
--Give tickets to a theater show, musical performance or other local creative event.
--Give money on someone's behalf to their favorite charity.
--Give an experience by teaching others (or paying for lessons) how to knit, cook culinary delights, compost, build a frame, play a musical instrument, or other special skill.
--Give wish lists to loved ones so presents are things that are truly needed and really liked.
Check out local options for green or upcycled gifts at A Remix Art Gallery (aremixartgallery.com) at 105 E. Main St. in Carrboro, next to Jade Palace or Twig (www.twigliving.com) in Village Plaza in Chapel Hill near Whole Foods. Other ways to reduce waste include:
--BYOB! Bring your own bag when you shop or visit bearing gifts. Plastic bags are not recyclable in the county's recycling program so do not put them in curbside bins, carts at apartments or at drop-off sites. Recycle clean, dry, empty plastic bags or dry cleaning bags at local grocery stores.
--BYOB! Bring your own bottle to refill with water, and a travel mug to your favorite religious service or coffee shop.
--BYOB! Bring your own box for leftovers when eating out to avoid wasteful take-out containers.
--Wrap presents in useful items such as a towel, cloth bag or scarf.
--Recycle cups, tubs, buckets, toys and other non-bottle plastics labeled #2, #4 and #5 in the purple Dumpsters at staffed solid waste convenience centers.
--"Do not rent, trade, or sell my name or address." Say these words every time you order from a catalog or purchase a gift subscription over the phone. Write the words next to your name and address every time you fill a warranty, membership or subscription form to prevent your name and address from being spread to mail order lists.
--Use the website www.freemymailbox.com to get off delivery lists for mass mailing, catalogs and phonebooks.
Happy holidays!
Orange County Landfill will be closing in 201 days.

Transcendence opened last weekend and is pretty much the very definition of a bomb. The $100 million production opened with just $11 million. With poor reviews, no buzz, and the summer season just around the corner, it's sure to sink fast and needs an overseas miracle to have any hope of recouping its respective expenses. Usually when a big film fails this badly, fingers are pointed and blame is assigned. But in the broad scheme of things, it can be argued that, aside from making a bad film (which cannot be predicted from the outset), no one involved with the production and marketing of Transcendence did anything wrong.
With its top-billed star as the only "opener" in the cast (Morgan Freeman is an asset, but he's not a face-on-the-poster star), the film was viewed as a test of sorts for Johnny Depp's "all-by-myself" star power. As it turns out, Depp's pull wasn't enough to get people to see Transcendence. Over the last eleven years, he's had a flurry of big hits, but nearly all of those big hits (Alice In Wonderland, the Pirates sequels, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc.) were prepackaged properties that didn't depend on Depp alone to make the sale. Even Public Enemies, his biggest domestic hit that didn't involve make-up or wigs in a Tim Burton/Gore Verbinski universe, was a Michael Mann gangster film that co-starred Christian Bale coming off The Dark Knight.
Transcendence was exactly the kind of film pundits claim that Depp should be making (playing a normal human being who uses his normal voice in a non-Tim Burton/Gore Verbinski film set squarely on planet Earth in the present day), yet it registers as among his lowest openings of the post-Pirates period. He makes Pirates 4 and critics scream that he's a sell-out. He makes The Rum Diary and no one shows up. Could it be that Johnny Depp was never much of a movie star, but rather the most valuable of added-value elements when allowed to go zany in a prepackaged would-be blockbuster? Transcendence had little to offer beyond Johnny Depp playing a normal guy who gets turned into a computer. If you're someone who enjoys his larger-than-life weirdness, you're not going to be thrilled with monotone-Johnny. The hook was literally "come see Depp as the opposite of why you like him".
The rest of the cast, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, and the like are not responsible, as they aren't movie stars in that "make me see a movie I otherwise wouldn't see" kind of way. And what of those who funded and distributed the film? Well, Alcon Entertainment co-financed Transcendence with China's DMG Entertainment, and the film opened in China this weekend as well (its earned $28 million worldwide). Warner Bros. (a division of Time Warner Time Warner) distributed the film domestically while Summit International actually covered much of the budget by selling overseas distribution to independent distributors. So if much of the budget is actually covered before theatrical via "pre-sales", then the loss is spread out over various entities, minimizing the risk for any one party. Warner Bros. gets a black eye, but they'll be fine.
More importantly, should we be penalizing Warner Bros., Alcon, and DMG for spending $100 million (plus marketing) on an original science-fiction thriller with adult movie stars? Isn't that what we say we want when we whine about reboots, sequels, and remakes? It stood to reason that Wally Pfister, the cinematographer who helped make Chris Nolan's last several films look so gorgeous, would make an okay director. And yes the screenplay was from a first-timer, Jack Paglen, but (for example) Brian Helgeland wrote nothing but horror until 1997, when he wrote L.A. Confidential and The Postman in the same year. Transcendence had Johnny Depp in a somewhat against-type performance, surrounded by the likes of Rebecca Hall and Morgan Freeman, directed by the guy who shot Inception, and funded outside of the studio with a foreign distribution deal that covered most of the $100 million production budget before opening weekend.
It looked like the kind of project only a fool would say "no" to. But the finished project didn't deliver, both artistically and in terms of marketable elements. With few real visual "money shots" and a "fear technology" plot that felt perhaps more generic and out-of-date than expected, the marketing department had little with which to hook the audience. Warner Bros. knew they had a critical loser on their hands, holding review embargoes until the morning of the All-Media screening and bracing themselves for the deluge of pans they knew were coming. With no buzz to be found, a lackluster trailer that sold the somewhat formulaic nature of the film while giving away most of the plot in broad strokes, and terrible reviews being held until the last minute, Warner Bros. could do little more than hold their breath and wait for the shellacking.
There is plenty that you can point to and say "That's what went wrong!" The film was an artistic botch, it was a little pricier than it needed to be, and Johnny Depp against-type isn't as much of a draw as him playing to form. And the notion of it being a mini-blockbuster prior to the summer season (think The Time Machine in 2002) was sabotaged by the strength of Walt Disney's Walt Disney's Captain America: The Winter Soldier. But when viewed from the initial "green light" stage, Transcendence is what you hope would get made and/or distributed by a major studio. It's an original science-fiction morality thriller with "big ideas". It stars Johnny Depp as the kind of "regular guy" type character that we all claim he never plays anymore, with ample support from a murderer's row of character actors. It's directed by a guy one degree removed from Chris Nolan and looks good enough to actually deserve the IMAX treatment. It's made by and intended for adult moviegoers, operating as a B-level blockbuster just before the summer rush.
The defining variable, one that arguably affected everything else down the line, and the one thing they couldn't predict from the outset, that all of these people would combine to make a genuinely bad film. But Transcendence doesn't negate the success of original genre films like Gravity and Inception, and we should still offer kudos to Warner Bros. for distributing such material in an era when the major studios are actually getting attacked for not having enough franchises. Audiences stayed home or went elsewhere not because they don't want original material, but because the material being sold to them didn't look enticing and the reviews confirmed their suspicions. Transcendence was a bad film that couldn't transcend its viewer-unfriendly elements with would-be star power. Other than "Johnny Depp without his shtick isn't a movie star", there are few "good" lessons to be learned from Transcendence.
Warner Bros. and Johnny Depp missed on Transcendence, both artistically and commercially. But they were right to try, as it's exactly the kind of film we all claim the studios should be making. I would argue that with the factors in play, it qualifies as a no-fault box office flop.

Best restaurant in Downtown Seattle for Anniversary Dinner?
My husband and I will be celebrating our anniversary in Seattle and staying in the downtown area. I have a reservation at Campagne, but after reading some of the posts here, I'm not sure if this is a good choice. We're looking for something in the downtown or surrounding area, romantic, not too formal, with a good wine list and, most of all, yummy food (especially seafood). Price is really not an issue. Any advice on if Campagne would fit the bill or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
The Dahlia Lounge would be my choice over Campagne.
Edit: alternatively, Chez Shea.
I've never really thought Campagne was worth the money.
campagne is everything you need - romantic, not too formal, excellent wines (sadly, with a healthy markup...) and a respect for what's on the plate. in the same neighborhood, the pink door ups the romance but lowers the food and the newly reopened matt's in the market does the opposite. though some disagree, i think il bistro (on the post alley ramp under the bronze pig) might hit all your requirements and save you a few bucks, too.
A second for the Dahlia--all of your requirements and expectations will be met. And a HUGE second for Chez Shea. The know how to do special without making it stuffy, and the service is some of Seattle's best. Just had the tasting menu at Chez Shea...wow. And you can add on extra courses if you want. As for Campagne, there's just nothing special about that box of a dining room, way out of date. You're better off sitting in the sunlit and tree framed lounge or outside, trust me.

If you can wade through the snark here, you'll find that Maureen Dowd has an insightful description of Obama — passive, scared, not in control, and ultimately weak. She writes:
He gives the impression of someone who would like to kid around with reporters for a minute, but knows he's going to be peppered with on-the-record minutiae designed to feed the insatiable maw of blogs and Internet news . . . He's an American who has climbed to the most rarefied stratosphere of American life, only to find that he has to make a major speech arguing that he loves his country. (A new CNN poll shows that a quarter of registered voters say Obama lacks patriotism.) He's a man happily married to a strong professional woman who has to defend his wife, as he says, for being "feisty." He must simultaneously defend himself for being too exotic and, because of recent moves, too conventional. (So conventional that he even refused to do a fist bump with a boy at a tutoring session for kids in Zanesville, Ohio.) . . .In this presidential race should be about how to fix the scary cascading crises in the country and the world. But as Obama offers himself as an avatar of modernity, the horizon fills with Swift boats against the current, and he is, Gatsby-like, "borne back ceaselessly into the past." The 46-year-old is supposed to be the tonic for the culture wars of the 60s. In his patriotism speech, he said that "the anger and turmoil" of that generation had "never entirely drained away," leaving our politics "trapped in these old, threadbare arguments." But it's Obama who seems trapped, sucked back into yesteryear.
But is Jay Gatsby really the model we want for a president? However idealized a vision of a candidate's inner nobility (either misplaced or earned) supporters might have, presidents need to act, lead, set an example, and defend the country that they seek to govern. With Obama his supporters must feel like they have entered a never-ending episode of the Perils of Pauline: Look, he's tied to the railroad tracks again! It hardly inspires confidence. Pity, perhaps. But even for those sympathetic to his cause that's not a profile to which one can rally. And the fact that we're at war makes it that much more difficult to get undecided voters to put their faith in him.

The first Star Trek: Deep Space Nine comic will debut this December.
More details are emerging about the new Deep Space Nine comic courtesy of Scott and David Tipton, such as in which time frame the stories will be set and which characters who will be appearing in the new series .
The new Deep Space Nine stories will be set in familiar territory. "Our mandate from the 'Powers That Be' was to tell a classic Deep Space Nine story to reintroduce the series to comics readers," explained Scott Tipton. "Setting it after the series ended didn't make a lot of sense, since half the cast would by definition be taken off the table immediately. Our story is set between seasons three and four, before Worf's arrival to the station and before things start to heat up with the Dominion War. It's kind of the last point where there's breathing space before the series got really serialized in its final four seasons."

Below is the poem entitled Your Rose which was written by poet
Smith. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Charles Smith
Love drawn from hate,
Hate drawn from love.
It's all a viscious cycle,
Swirling you above.
The sight of that "rose",
So lovely and pure,
Was more like a cactus,
Look closer to be sure.
More pricks then you can realize,
Former skin than you can know.
Even the water underneath,
Is to little to even show.
The flower set on top,
The glory of it's petals,
Hide the spines beneath,
That wait for those who medal.
Pick it if you wish,
Look for water in it's stem,
But all you'll find is pain,
Over and over again.
Soon you'll see and find,
When you look down at your hands,
The sores and pricks that rest there,
Arn't worth all his demands.
When that day comes,
And you see what he has done,
It will all come to a choice,
You can love or you can run.
You can love the water,
Which you've never seen,
Or you can hate the skin,
For all the scars that it will leave.
