Business Honors Track
With a focus on sustainability, ethical business practices, and leadership development, the Business Honors Track allows Honors students to complete courses in their Business major at the same time as they are building Honors credits.
A Seamless Curriculum
The BW School of Business offers students the opportunity to take Honors courses within the school, starting with elective courses and culminating in a senior year two-course sequence (BUS 461H and BUS 462H). Non-Honors Program students are eligible for these courses also if they have a 3.5 GPA or above.
Elective Honors BUS courses will vary in topic and credit hour and can be taken by any Honors Program student, with or without a major or minor in Business.
The senior sequence of BUS 461H and 462H consists of a yearlong consulting project where students work with a business partner and consult on a real topic as desired by the business partner. This is a rigorous, unscripted, hands-on project that will vary from year to year in its exact content. Students are only eligible for the sequence if they have completed the requirements for a major or minor in an area of Business. Successful completion of BUS 461H and BUS 462H will fulfill the Honors Program thesis/senior project requirement.

October CAFE canceled, next one scheduled for December
HUNTINGTON -- CAFE Huntington (Creative Arts Funding Endeavor) has canceled its October's CAFE meal.
It was originally slated for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29, in the community meeting room on the third floor of the main Cabell County Public Library, 455 9th St., Huntington.
Traditionally, CAFE has also not met in November because of Thanksgiving, so the next CAFE dinner is a special holiday CAFE set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4.
CAFE is now accepting artists to present at the December CAFE dinner as well as volunteers to help cook the meal. Also, folks who perhaps do not have the time to cook can donate money to the CAFE dinner at The Wild Ramp at Heritage Station where ingredients are bought for the CAFE meals.
Admission is $10. Tickets can be bought in advance via the website (www.cafehuntington.com) or at the door with cash, check or credit card.
Up to five artists can present their project in hopes of gaining the collective money (anywhere from $280 to $720 so far) as well as gaining needed exposure and networking to get their often fledging ideas off the ground.
At CAFE, attendees share a meal, cooked by volunteers, and at meal's end, people vote on which artists or project will get the money collected at the dinner.
CAFE has just set up a Twitter feed to get out the latest updates and information not just on the dinners but also about past winners and presenters. You can find CAFE on Twitter as @CafeHuntington.

To celebrate Christmas 2012, we decided to imagine our fantasy Christmas tree, decorated with fantastical fashion decorations. The finished design, illustrated by Tom Baxter, is magical. The traditional angel is replaced by the delicate antler horn headband from the Balenciaga S/S13 show. Underneath, there is a distinctive thick red Lanvin ribbon, a piece which has quickly become one of the French house's key motifs. Dolce & Gabbana's Sicilian-inspired earrings provide the inspiration for the bauble hanging proudly below. Paper chains nestle below, their shape reminiscient of the iconic double 'c' for Chanel and, at the bottom, the lower branches play host to brilliant tinsel, making a nod to Maison Martin Margiela's Artisinal tinsel jumpers for autumn/winter 2007, alongside a proud Prada robot.
"The traditional angel is replaced by the delicate antler horn headband from the Balenciaga S/S13 show"
The tradition of putting up decorations dates back to the 15th century, when it was customary for every house and all the parish churches to be "decked with holly, ivy, bays, and whatsoever the season of the year afforded to be green". The Christmas tree is considered by some as a Christianisation of pagan tradition and ritual surrounding the Winter Solstice, which included the use of evergreen boughs, and an adaptation of pagan tree worship. The English language phrase "Christmas tree" is first recorded in 1835 and represents an importation from the German language. The modern Christmas tree tradition is believed to have begun in Germany in the 18th century though many argue that Martin Luther began the tradition in the 16th century.

The title here is a slight paraphrase from one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips by Bill Watterson.
Calvin has to write a report for class. He knows nothing about his topic, yet complains about what a busy guy he is, with all the important stuff he, a six-year old, has on his schedule, rather than doing some research for his report.
Hobbes rolls his eyes and sagely replies, "Right. Why waste time learning when ignorance is instantaneous."
I think my paraphrase is apropos to all those entrepreneurs and business owners, running their companies without plans, without follow-up, without the knowledge and benefits gained from ongoing planning-vs-actual results review.
Right. Why waste time planning when ignorance is instantaneous.

Defra unveils strategy to get rid of bTB within 25 years
Posted: July 05, 2013|
Westcountry farmers could see compensation slashed for having cattle slaughtered because herds are infected by tuberculosis, the Government has warned as it unveiled a strategy to rid England of the disease within 25 years.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson revealed the plan would include the controversial culling of badgers – which is poised to begin in the region – as well as measures to control the movement of infected animals and develop vaccines for both cattle and badgers.
For the first time, England will be divided up into three distinct disease control areas, with the South West and West Midlands – plus an area in East Sussex – to be labelled a "high risk area", meaning more intense measures will be required to tackle the highest levels of bovine TB (bTB).
Against the epidemic costing the taxpayer £500 million in the last ten years, the strategy suggests "adjusting compensation" to "reward risk-reduction and to penalise risky practices".
It goes on to point out compensation rates in England are "relatively high" – questioning whether 100% compensation is a "disincentive" – and that rates are 65% and 75% under "successful" programmes in New Zealand and Spain.
But former farmer Neil Parish, Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton, warned the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) are "behind the times" as compensation was already being squeezed.
He said: "The disease has spread because the Labour Government did not get on top of it in wildlife. Farmers are not guilty for the sin of TB."
Another former farmer, George Eustice, Conservative MP for Camborne and Redruth, said: "Farmers affected by TB find the experience devastating and already go to great lengths to mitigate the risks to their herds. It is particularly sad when prize winning pedigree cattle are lost, often at considerable loss to the individual farmer."
But he said if Defra top- sliced compensation they paid, and then used the money to fund other measures such as a badger cull or a vaccination programme, farmers might ultimately be better off.
Farmers will be urged to take more responsibility for disease controls while also being landed with a greater share of the costs.
The strategy also proposes giving farmers more "risk" information about the TB history of cattle before they are sold at market, including on movement and testing history.
Mr Paterson, who wants England to achieve Officially TB-Free status within 25 years, said: "Today we start a countdown towards an England free from this terrible disease."
Of the 28,000 cattle slaughtered in England last year, 20,000 were in the South West. In Devon, which has the highest number of cattle victims in the country, 6,535 animals were slaughtered. The figure was 2,014 in Cornwall.

Microsoft and 343 Industries have enlisted music producer and composer Neil Davidge to compose the score for Halo 4.
Davidge has been the co-writer and producer for the last three albums from "trip hop" group Massive Attack. I'm not particularly a fan of techno-style music (forgive me if "techno" is an archaic term that doesn't cleave to any specificity. I'm hopelessly lost on nuance here.) But I do like what I've heard so far – orchestral and choir interwoven with some digital feels about right for the Halo universe.
"As a passionate 'Halo' fan, I'm incredibly honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to compose the score for 'Halo 4,'" Davidge said. "Music has always been at the heart of what makes 'Halo' so captivating and iconic. With 'Halo 4,' we want to build upon the franchise's amazing legacy and create a score that captures the awe and wonder of the 'Halo' universe, and reinforces the deeper and more emotionally impactful journey Master Chief will embark on."
Davidge and his team have put together a 16 person male tenor/bass choir along with 10 female Bulgarian vocalists and a full 50 piece orchestra. (No info on why the female vocalists had to be Bulgarian, but good for the Bulgarians anyways.)
"Neil has a deep love and appreciation for the 'Halo' universe, and the music he's composed perfectly captures the heroic spirit and emotional power of Master Chief's story," said Sotaro Tojima, audio director for Halo 4. "Neil is a remarkably talented composer who has a unique vision for the future of 'Halo' music, and I'm confident his work will spark the passion and excitement of a whole new generation of fans."
Here's a behind-the-scenes video of the work-in-progress:
And here's an example of some of the music we can expect in the next Halo:
I like it – dramatic and evocative. Reminds me of earlier Halo titles, though it's certainly a fresh take. The music does a good job at sounding like a film score and a video game score at the same time. I'm not sure how to better describe that. What makes a score sound like a video game and not a movie? I'm not exactly sure, but this is certainly it.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how the score pans out in the end, but I've always thought the Halo team did right by its music. With 343 Industries at the helm this time, it doesn't appear that will change for the worse.

Video:How to Make Icing Flowers and Roseswith Lisa Mansour
Dress up your cakes and cupcakes with these sweet frosting flowers and roses. See what pastry tips you need to form icing flowers, and learn the movements to make them.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make Icing Flowers and RosesHi, I'm Lisa Mansour from New York Cake in New York City, here for About.com. Today I'm going to show you how to make several different kinds of butter cream flowers.
Icing Flower SuppliesWe're going to need some colored frosting, some flower formers, a flower nail, and some parchment paper. And some pastry tips.
Icing RosesThe first thing we need to do – we're going to start with a rose. We have some parchment paper here, that I'm going to cut into squares. We're going to be decorating our flowers on a flower nail covered with parchment paper squares. There are two tips you need for making a rose. The first tip is the number twelve tip. It's the round tip. And the second tip is a petal tip, which is number 104.
We're going to start with tip number 12, put it on our pastry bag. We're going to put a dab of frosting onto our nail. Just so the parchment paper sticks to the nail. The first thing we're going to do is make a base for our rose. And you want to have a nice solid base for your rose. I'm going to hold at a 90 degree angle. Straight upright and I'm going to squeeze and slowly come up and that is your rose base. Now, we're actually going to change tips and put our petal tip. The number 104. Now, with the petal tip it had two sides. It has a wider side and a more narrow side. In order to make nice flowers, you always want your wider side down, and the thinner side up. That will allow you to have thin, delicate petals. Attach the icing, and I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning and coming down. That's your first step for the rose.
Icing Rose PetalsAlways start with a clean tip. Now the next row we're going to start with three petals. Squeeze, one , two, three. Now with flowers you do odd numbers. So, the next row is going to have five petals. So, again, as I turn, I'm going to be squeezing. So, one, two, three, four, and five. Now, you could stop here depending on what size rose you want or you could continue one more to make it seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Icing Rosebud FlowersOkay, to do a rosebud, you're going to use the same 104 tip that we used for our rose. Again, wide side down and I'm just going to touch the base of my perp here and I'm going to turn, do a semi-circle and do kind of like a zigzag effect. And, then I just take my icing with a number four tip and make a little base.
Frosting Sweet Pea FlowersTo make a little sweet pea, the same, tip number 104. We're just going to shoot out the frosting. I'm touching the base and pulling away. Squeeze and pull away. Squeeze and pull away. Again, take your tip number three. So that's your sweet pea.
Frosting Flower LeavesTo make leaves for your flowers I prefer tip number 352, it's a "V" shaped tip and it makes really nice leaves. So, basically, all I'm going to do is squeeze pull up, squeeze and pull up. The trick is for the rose, after you make the rose I would put it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, until it gets a little hard, and then you take scissors, or a little knife, and then it's easier to place and transport on your cake without ruining your rose. But these, you can directly pipe them on the cake.

Though it was many years ago and timepieces have changed a lot since this plain style it works as good as ever. The simplicity but yet elegance that this watch has I have only seen on a Rolex. My father was proud of his watch and wore it with pride. My son is about to graduate next year and my wife and I have decided that he should have a Rolex to commemorate this big occasion. We have found the best selection on a website called essential-watches.com. They have put together some of the most beautiful timepieces. If you are in need of a high quality timepiece they have so many of the nice brands to choose from. It is fun just to look at them but even more fun to order one. It is nice to be able to enjoy this big of a selection because our local jewelry stores have been so limited. After we order we just wait on it to come to us. Now that is easy.

Revenge of the stylus: Samsung Note 10.1 makes digital notebook a reality

Give credit to Samsung for pushing the envelope
Samsung gets a lot of flack over whether it truly innovates or just emulates Apple. It's fair to debate that as far as design and basic smartphone features, but it is very clear that Samsung has staked out a unique piece of territory with its Note product line. By partnering with Wacom to have a high-performance input solution, Samsung has a good chance to chip away at Apple's stranglehold on content creators. Adding the innovation of mutiple windows piles on to its advantage by leveraging the inherent multitasking capabilities of the Note's base Android OS.
S-Pen-enabled applications are trickling out
Perhaps the biggest knock on the Note family has been that there aren't a lot of applications that take full advantage of the S Pen, but that's actually okay. Samsung's own S Note is a pretty good note taking application — although I'd personally love to see Microsoft add ink input to the Android version of One Note. For photographers, the excellent UI of Adobe's Photoshop Touch — bundled with the Note 10.1 — is made even better with an S Pen.
The Note 10.1 isn't a barn-burner when it comes to most of its hardware specs. The 1280×800 screen is slightly dated, especially for a $500 tablet, and the keyboard dock isn't nearly as nice as the ones from Microsoft and Asus. Samsung does sell a fairly nice folding case/cover that uses a magnet to fold it into a stand for taking notes or viewing. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is also a little too plastic for some people. Its quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos pushes the relatively low number of pixels along briskly, even when taking notes in one window while watching a video in the other.
Its MicroSD port and included USB host functionality are also a nice touch. Using an adapter from Samsung or a third party, SD cards full of images appear as soon as they are inserted. Coupled with the bundled version of Adobe Photoshop Touch these features make the hardware a natural for photographers who want a simple, portable solution for their image editing in the field.
Samsung's Note could still use some work
If you're looking for the best replacement for paper on the market, a Samsung Note may be right for you. There are certainly some rough edges, though. The tablet and especially the S Pen are under-documented in the product package, although Samsung does provide an extensive downloadable user guide. The tablet uses a Samsung-proprietary 30-pin connector and is very fickle about charging with non-Samsung adapters. I also found the auto brightness setting too low for my liking, but it isn't the only device with that problem. S Note is also weak on its syncing options, and because it uses a unique file format, there isn't any way to edit S Note memos on your desktop machine.
If you can live with those limitations and the stiff price tag, though, the Note 10.1 is a powerful and unique productivity tool. If you want to see how it stacks up compared the Nexus 10, a more conventional current model tablet, Geek.com has done a comparison.

'not so good' screen is major setback
If it was 1080 I would buy it eyes closed
Then how would you see the 1080p screen? ;)
http://www.facebook.com/people/Angelo-Collazo/1149674715 Angelo Collazo
I really don't care if it's not 1080p, I have a hdtv for that. So things are not as sharp or vibrant. still a great tab for getting work done!!
At the $500 price point, high res *and* digitizer not doable. After having the iPad3 and now the Note 10.1 with its 'inferior' screen, I can say, give me the friggin' digitizer every time. The Note is a joy to own. I thought the iPad was fine, but it felt restrictive in so many ways. The Note is a much more liberating device and is rock solid in its performance. I now have a Win8 ultrabook that also has a stylus, but I never once considered getting rid of my Galaxy Note 10.1.
Great article – For the sync issue, I just export to pdf and sync to google drive (or any other cloud share), its great portability and this tablet makes productivity come alive. I am a vicious note taker and love the split screen as well as cascaded windows options.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Mike — Glad you enjoyed the article. PDF sync is certainly a good approach given what's out there, but I'd really like to see a system where I can edit my notes on my desktop, laptop and tablet, including adding/editing ink, and at least view them on my phone. An Android version of OneNote that supported ink would be one possibility, since it already has sync & desktop nailed. Another would be S-Note somehow integrating with a desktop note-taking product (maybe a magical S-Note to OneNote connector/converter)?
If it was 1080p, I really buy it.
I cant believe 720p screen is major setback
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
FWIW, having just dropped $500 on one, it does irk me just a little when text isn't razor sharp on the display. OTOH, if Sammy had put a 1080p display in it then the processor might not have been able to make it as quick, the pressure-sensitive touch screen might have been harder to make, and the product might not have happened yet. So I'm very happy I bought it, and will no doubt be unhappy if Samsung introduces one with 1080p and a faster CPU before I've gotten my money's worth out of this one:-)
With a 'retina' screen you'd probably have to drop the S Pen. What would be the point of that? After all, the S Pen is the WHOLE point of this tablet. The thing is silky smooth and it inks beautifully… what it doesn't have are some really killer apps for graphic arts like Procreate for the iPad. Hopefully that will change.
Just imagine the day when these tablets will contain infinite energy :)

I cant believe its taken extreme tech this long to report on the amazing breakthrough that is the note 10.1 and S-pen. The note 10.1 combined with proper software compatibility could quite easily take over the laptop market, i mean if they made the button on the s-pen act as a right click, it would be as good as (if not better than) a mouse.
The only thing missing from the note 10.1 is a real keyboard, but its a tablet and mobility is a requirement, but if you really need a keyboard at some point, im pretty sure you can connect a standard PC 1 through USB or bluetooth.
I dont think the 720p screen is much of a concern when the screen size is only 10″ people just use the lack of 1080p excuse because they have an ipad (or another tablet for that matter)
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Mr Moo — Better late than never:-) Seriously, for me the original Note(s) weren't really an option because I wanted a fullsize tablet and didn't want a phone that large either. Then when the 10.1 came out I stalled waiting to see if the price would come down. Eventually I decided to bite the bullet and shell out the $$. Glad I did.
As to the 720p screen, I notice it when trying to read websites with either small text or reversed colors. It just isn't quite as sharp as a 1080p display would typically be. However, that's an okay tradeoff for me at this point.

does anyone know if they have policy on after-sales modifications/improvements to their devices?
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
I don't know what Samsung's policy is, but if you are thinking of installing a custom ROM (there are several), most of the ones I looked at had limited or evolving support for the S Pen and Multi Window, so that's an additional consideration.
Debaditya Chatterjee
no, not software. i'm talking about modifying or strengthening the hardware and the chassis. like taking the logic board+display assembly out of the stock shell and putting it into a custom-built ruggedized carbon-fibre or polycarbonate chassis. and maybe even adding some custom support framework inside around the internal components assembly to enable it to withstand shocks and mabye swap out some individual on-board components for water or magnetic-field or emp resistance. perhaps i'd need to mod the screen and stylus too, for emp/water/dust resistance. if i did that i'd have to do some software modification too, lime ainly firmware mods to get the modded/new screen & stylus to work. any idea if its even legally allowed?
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
With all this DMCA nonsense, it's hard to know, but certainly people mod just about everything all the time (I recently wrote an article on modding my Nikon DSLR to shoot full spectrum). Aside from voiding the warranty or any chance of getting the tablet serviced, I think the big issue is just making it all work when you're done!
Debaditya Chatterjee
i've overclocked my first-gen i7 to 5+GHz using liquid cooling (at home) when i had it but i had to take the whole thing out of the tower and put it into my grandma's old travelling trunk, much to her ire, as i sawed holes in it. so i do have experience doing crazy projects at home, and yes, i'm certain i'll be able to make it work when i put it all together. in fact, if you know someone who has a master's in electronics, they'll tell you that one of the first practicals we do is to self-assemble a working logic board from scratch.
even legally allowed' it would be really hard for anyone to enforce a claim of anything especially with no breach of contract, and no damage done to Samsung.
Debaditya Chatterjee
no breach of contract?? i seriously doubt that. they probably have a policy on after-sales modifications that comes with the documentation with the product. best-case scenario, they simply void my warranty, about which i anyways dont give a damn, but worst-case scenario, they drag me to jail. that is, only if i buy a single one myself and mod it at home. obviously not if my government sponsors it.
So, can I sell you a car and put a piece of paper in it that says you can't drive it, or you have to pay me a million dollars? Without telling you, and you consenting to it beforehand? No, lack of full dis-closure, and due diligence make it an in-valid contract.
Furthermore, an action in personam means where there is a breach of contract or claim of damage proceedings must be started by the person themself and not a third-party/agent.
Is samsung a person that can file in court? Furthermore, to drag you to jail there have to be 1 of 2 things:
1. A Breach of the peace involving injury
2. A contract that states jail is a penalty.
A non-living thing cannot be injured, and a valid contract must have 3 parts to it:
1. Sound meeting of the minds
2. Exchange of Value
3. Lawful intent/person
Samsung, has no mind; what exchange of value is there past the point of sale, furthermore since there are 2 sides to a mirror, in order to give value you must be able to lose value.
Liability aka blood. Samsung has none.
3rd is w.e it doesn't get that far, I doubt slipping a piece of paper in with your product, in order to stop people from fully owning their product is a lawful thing you can enforce, as like I said action in personam.
Pick up black's law dictionary look this stuff up, and happy modding.
This is not legal advice, these are legal facts. :)
If you are un-sure just reply with questions, anyone.
Btw, so you didn't answer; still a shadow government? :P

Debaditya Chatterjee
in reply to your first line, no, they cant put a piece of paper in my car restricting me from driving it without paying a fine, but yes, i think they can put a piece of paper in there that says i cant unlock the ECU or mod the internal wiring or mechatronics without their explicit permission without paying a hefty fine. so there.
secondly, i've let slip a few things here which i shouldnt have……… :P
Kk. no more discussion of that.
What would be the lawful purpose of this? Besides saying if you do this you don't get warranty, which is an agreement; there is no common sense point to restricting usage of property or attempting to.
It is an infringement, fraud, and waste of time; if a company tries to do that to you, get them to agree by non-rebuttal that there is no point and you have given to consent, then bill for every letter they send to you. When the amount they owe is big they'll shut up, and YOU can take them to court, or file a lien against them for that amount.
In real life, using the real law there is a lot of power, but also a lot of responsibility. In the jungle raaj, we have to watch out; court victories may have you sent to judgement. :P
But what we can do to them, someone can do to us but as long as we are faithful and honest we are cool.
They have no authority to stop you from doing anything, the way they may 'attempt' to, is through title.
There are 2 parts to a full title to property called perfect title.
Legal Title and Usufruct or right to enjoy/use.
A landlord has legal title, the tenants usufruct.
A corporation cannot enforce a claim, ever as it cannot take the stand to be cross-examined. If they are claiming you only have the right to usage, while they hold legal title ask for the paper-work.
There is a fraud like that going on, where 'registering' something means passing legal title; you can see this as registers root word is regal meaning king.
Even then, if someone robs you and you say hey that's mine give it back if you can't enforce it, it's of no use.
Same with anything from the any corporation, samsung or INDIA. They cannot enforce their claims in court, as they cannot rebut any evidence you present under their own liability.
The crown, or gov. lawye can't bring a case against you themelf as they have no business with you; neither does the gov. and it does because it has a monopoly on the territory it claims.
Even so, like I said it can't do anything.

http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Seriously, I would love to write that one up as an article for the site!
Debaditya Chatterjee
extremely sorry to disappoint y'all, but if i DO do this, its all gonna be hush-hush and be used by military/government agencies of my country. and we'll probably send out a tender to samsung directly if my superiors are convinced. its not like i'm gonna do it like a home science-project. but yes, if i do find some time and get hands on the requisite materials, i've a good mind to actually do this. and if i do that personally, i'll be sure to send et a detailed report. but if its published on et, then i really do have to consider the legal ramifications beforehand. but no, i was just asking because the article says its the first tablet thats decent for note-taking with a stylus so i thought why not send the R&D at my office a link?
http://www.facebook.com/damon.bailey.14 Damon Bailey
this is still a very nice tablet. the next gen i would love to see, and what would probably get my hard earned cash and cause me to ditch my laptop:
12″ (ish) full HD+ screen;
same wacom based stylus
slightly thicker to make use of a larger capacity battery than it probably needs. (stop makeing shit so rediculously thin that you cant fit a battery worth while in it.)
full size USB host port.
full size SDXC slot (externally accesible)
still include micro SDXC slot.
2013 era CPU/GPU. those new big.LITTLE setups would smoke in this with a beefy battery to handle it when the A15 cores are running.
High power charger with fallback/travel charging from micro USB.
modern wireless BT 4.0+ with multi host capabilities/and 802.11g/n/ac with 2×2 MiMo
Magnesium shell or something else similarly rigid feeling and durable.
i realize this would have a painfull premium price, but i would be willing to pony up for the above device.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Damon — Aside from the Wacom part, I think you're more or less describing the way Microsoft wants people to think of the Surface Pro (well, that and the Android vs. W8 thing:-)). I haven't played with the Pro version of Surface, so I can speak from direct experience, but it seems like they've set it up to support a lot of connectivity, peripherals, and be pretty beefy.
http://www.facebook.com/damon.bailey.14 Damon Bailey
I'm talking about a Samsung Android tablet. Win 8 is useless to me and Windows RT is a joke. the surface pro has crappy battery life, and that is with it in minimal power mode, crank it up and the 'battery' is just a bonus UPS they threw in so you could run to the next outlet. also, I'm quite interested in the upcoming Ubuntu for phones (and I'm assuming it would work equally well on tablets) that i think would possibly work great on something like i listed above.
I think everything i listed above is well within reach of a premium andriod tablet this year with current technology. the 12″ screen is just a preference, for me 10″ is just a hair to small to be a comfortable replacement for a 15″ laptop, but it does seem to be the sweet spot in the market right now. I also thin they above specs would come in WELL under the surface pro price tag. the reason i suggested a full sized host port is for memory card readers, thumb drives, or some days, even a plain old USB keyboard. the full size SD slot would allow easy ways to grab pictures off of a majority of digital cameras or to slap a 128GB SD card in there for a ton of media for long trips, while keeping the MicoSD for the usual android tasks such as photos, apps, and upcoming independent and private native multi user storage.
Most of the world is now pushing for unified charging abilities that are typically centered around Micro USB and one can find a decent high current USB charger almost anywhere these days, so the ability to (probably more slowly) charge a tablet from a common source would be nice. perhaps even to snag a few % while plugged into another computer. I do hate the current trend with phones of making them so thin they cant get a decent battery in one with out resorting to super aggressive power management, so I hope they start making all batteries across their lines (including tablets) a bit more powerful.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Damon — That all makes sense. FWIW, while I don't like that the Note 10.1 uses a proprietary 30-pin connector, one nice thing about it is that there are some nice small "dongles" which include both a USB host port and an SD card reader. Not as nice as having them built-in, but not too bad as long as you remember to carry the thing. I've only used mine with SD cards, but they worked perfectly. My camera images popped right up as a folder when I stuck the adapter & SD card in.
I bought a 2-pack a SD & USB connector from Amazon for my Note 10.1 and it didn't cost much moola. It has a file system, so it's limitations are minor. I used it as my sole computing gadget for almost a year after my laptop old died and did fine.
Damon, the next gen CPUs, etiher Haswell or quad-core Atom will probably give you exactly what you are asking for, but I just don't get the hatred for Win8… personally, I avoided Windows for *years* using Linux and then Android, but my new Win8 Sony Duo 11 is a joy to use with Win8. I love it. Surface 2 and hopefully other tablets will have good battery life and will be able to run Photoshop with pressure (assuming MS fixes the whole Wintab kerfuffle once and for all). What more would one want?
http://www.facebook.com/damon.bailey.14 Damon Bailey
i realize adapters are cheap and you can get almost anything that will plug into almost anything. I don't like carrying adapters. what would be wrong with a host port and SD slot in a new device? Did you buy a Samsung adapter? or a no name cheap one that works? did the cheap one benefit Samsung financially? So what does Samsung have to lose by adding in these things?
Im not asking for a bump in technology, or things that don't exist in retail production yet, so whatever CPU ends up in it would be fine im sure. Im asking that a few features from this device, and a few features from that device, all end up in the same place for one very good device.
I'm not asking for the repeated sales pitch for Microsoft. I own a computer store/service center which is a Microsoft gold partner, and I personally have been a MS TechNet and MSDN subscriber for *years*, and have beta (and in a few cases, alpha) tested the last handful of MS OS's. I'm not even bashing windows 8 as a whole. the UI is retarded for anything but a small segment of touch enabled devices, not as the full on next-gen OS. the underlying Kernel on the other hand, and changes they have made behind the scenes are good, but its like watching an 80's era B-reel movie in a state of the art I-Max Theater, its just pointless.
AS far as hardware goes, the surface is not all that impressive for what it is. I am hoping that MS, dumping tens of millions into Dell, can manage a bit better hardware for Surface 2.
The mobile computing Industry as a whole is at an interesting point. The hardware is capable of doing most of what we need comfortably now days. It has plenty of "horsepower" you could say and plenty of memory and storage ( yes there are power users out there like me that could use more easily, but in general). So, what the consumers look for now is features. features that differentiate one device from the next. this one has a Digitizer and stylus, that one has awesome battery life, that one can connect to anything, and so forth. Is it too much to ask at this point that one Manufacturer take ALL the top features and put them in one place?
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Damon — I certainly don't disagree with wanting USB & SD integrated. I liked the USB on my gTablet, for example. I've also thought about the option of using a microSD in my camera so that it would fit in the existing slot on the Note 10.1, but they tend to be harder to work with and slower than full SD cards, so that's not a great solution.
Don't know what adding those features might "cost" in terms of dollars or size, but it wouldn't seem like too much.
http://www.facebook.com/damon.bailey.14 Damon Bailey
Yea, in mass quantity, im sure it isnt terrible, but im inclined to side with Jorj, you cant tell me big brands dont check up on forums and such and see what people want and dont want.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Damon & Jorj — It is a lot harder on the "inside" to produce what people want than it might appear. I spent 10 years with Sun Micro in the 80s and believe me, we always tried our best to build products that fit customer needs as best we knew how (we were slaying dragons much bigger than us, so it was in our interest to meet needs whenever we could and as much as we could). After factoring in all the issues in bringing a product to market and all the different user opinions, it was definitely not simple. Many of our competitors failed. We at least did well enough to live on.
Yeah I did get Samsung adapters. Call me a cynic, but I say it wouldn't be all that difficult or prohibitively expensive to put together a 'do-it-all' device… there are plenty of people around smart enough to figure out what would be considered comprehensive and satisfying to both expert users and simple enough for mom to use. I think what they say behind closed doors is 'if we sell something truly great and useful, our buyers will just keep it for 5+ years and sales will plummet'. They are exceedingly happy to slowly meter out incremental and semi-useless 'innovation' every year while actively suppressing true long-term value. That's exactly what the Detroit auto makers did for decades until the Opec & Japanese spoiled their little scam. Apple was willing to buck that trend, but guys like Steve Jobs are rare. As far as current hardware goes, I think something like the Lenovo Helix is the closest to this ideal using current components. There is a good possibility that later this year someone will put it all together with the Haswell CPUs…. I'll be watching closely. Heck, maybe Wacom's mobile tablet will be 'The One', eh?
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Jorj–I can be as cynical as the next guy, but given the turf war over tablets I'm pretty sure that if one of the major players thought they could produce the perfect device and dominate the market, they would…
If that is the case, then that implies that they are so clueless that they can't figure out what that animal would look like. I suppose that's possible, if a bit depressing.
http://www.facebook.com/damon.bailey.14 Damon Bailey
Wacom tablet???? holy crap, how did i miss that one?!? I will certainly keep an eye and digital ear out for details on that one.

http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
The one Wacom has announced looks like another very nice addition to the Cintiq line. However, nothing I've read says it is a tablet that runs apps (like Android or iOS), just that it is a very slick (1080p) if expensive ($1K) graphics tablet for use with desktops. It would be cool if they did a real Android tablet, but I'm not sure this is it.
http://www.facebook.com/damon.bailey.14 Damon Bailey
ah… sadness.
on another note, Its been nice to see a sudo-debate/conversation on here with almost no fanboi BS, flaming and/or trolling.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Damon — I was thinking of making a comment to that effect, but didn't want to risk jinxing things:-)
I was gratified to see a reviewer mention how totally cool it would be to have MS OneNote on a S Pen tablet with full OCR and cloud sync. I've thought about that many times. Samsung and MS don't seem to be partnering too well, so I doubt that we'll see a 'Win8 Note' tablet, but I'd be ALL OVER IT.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Yes, it's very frustrating how close we are when the "big boys" refuse to complete the picture. Mobilenoter SE might be another option, but they are completely ignoring OneNote 2013, and even syncing with OneNote 2010 doesn't seem to work right, so I'm not sure how they expect to stay in the game.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
FWIW, I've heard from Mobilenoter that they hope to have OneNote 2013 support in Q2. Hard to imagine what is taking them so long (2013 preview was last Summer, after all), but at least they're working on it and it wouldn't be the first time MS had made a hard to adjust to change.
It also looks like the issue it has with 2010 sync is that once either Skydrive Web or 2013 touches the notebook it won't sync any more.
You can have the same feature in the iPad – just buy a stylus – duh! The surface Pro does this already too. Get over your self with this anti Microsoft rage.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
The iPad does not have a digitizer, so any passive stylus is very imprecise. There are some expensive ($99 or so) Bluetooth-enabled styli that promise better performance, but the $5-$20 ones are just finger substitutes.
You're right to mention the Surface Pro, although it is twice the price (and weighs 50% more with shorter battery life) so how many will get used as replacements for paper notebooks is an open question.
most ipad styluses suck
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=675191174 Timothy Lee Rayner
256 levels of pressure sensitivity and full integration beats the iPad. Not so sure about the Surface Pro.
I completely abandoned pen and paper with my IPAD and NOTABILITY application. You can use your fingers and/or a stylus an write, sketch, type, paste photos, etc. It's an amazing application!
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Notability looks pretty cool. Does it do anything special to augment the native accuracy of finger/stylus? The issue I had trying to take notes with various of the apps on the iPad (and on conventional Android tablets) was getting precise registration of handwriting without a digitizer.
i am not having any issues like that
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=675191174 Timothy Lee Rayner
I'm guessing you're not an artist neven. Last I checked, you don't get 256 levels of pressure sensitivity with a finger…. at least not on the iPad.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
I've been curious about the new Note 8.0. From reading it appears that S Note has been replaced on it by Awesome Note HD. I downloaded a copy of "aNote HD" from xda to try on my Note 10.1. For note-taking, I think it is a step backwards. It doesn't seem to have multi-page notes, and relegates "scribbled" notes to second class citizens as drawing attachments.
Does someone have a Note 8.0 to verify any of this? Seems a shame if true. aNote has a lot of eye-candy and tries to tie everything together with todo & schedule, but there are already plenty of apps that do that (I like Pocket Informant for example). I wish instead Sammy would put some money into the company that does S Pen so they can upgrade it to do interchange with something on the desktop and support resizeable pages, etc.

dropped in for late dinner and I love this restaurant. The food is really good and not so $$ like some other steak houses in the city. wide variety of fooods to choose from ( deli sandwiches, steaks, sushi...) and the BEST part is that you can bring your own wine (kosher) to the restaurant!! you just walk in with a bottle and they'll open it for you and you can have it with your meal...thats the first time ive seen that in a NY kosher steakhouse
Posted by Fortune on 07/08/2010
I didn't know what to expect. I was absolutely amazed and pleased. The sushi was fabulous. The meats were fresh, prepared and served exactly as reqeusted. The salads were fresh and plentiful. The side dishes were yummy. Servers were pleasant and smiling. What a nice dining experience. We'll be back!

That's all the information she had.
I wonder why Disney made this on their own instead of having it part of the Olszewski collection!

World's first petaflop supercomputer is obsolete after just five years, will be shut down April 1, 2013 at 7:31 am
IBM Roadrunner, which was the world's fastest supercomputer as recently as June 2009, and the first supercomputer to hit 1 petaflop, is now obsolete and has been shut down. At a cost of $120 million and with a lifetime of just five years, you might accuse the Department of Energy of wastefulness — but shutting down Roadrunner is actually a thrifty, cost-saving measure.

WARRENSBURG - The primary elections in Warren County yielded some surprises Tuesday, as some challengers surpassed incumbents in the vote tallies.
In several contests in the region, several popular politicians - lacking backup party endorsements- were knocked of the November ballot.
In Warrensburg, Former Town Supervisor and funeral home owner Maynard D. Baker (R,I) won a hefty 300-271 margin over incumbent Town Supervisor Kevin Geraghty (R,C), long-time officer of the local fire company, for a four-year term. Baker campaigned on cutting spending and taxes. Both are back in November, as Geraghty has the Concervative Party endorsement.
For Warrensburg Town Board, funeral home owner John Alexander (R) led three candidates with 310 votes, with former town Planning Board member and chair Bryan Rounds (R) a close second at 307, followed by insurance executive Joseph Barlow, R,C,I) with 254 votes. All will be back in November.
Competition was heated in Lake George, where five Republicans were vying to be their party's representative for two Town Board seats.
Incumbent Vinnie Crocitto (R,Ic), councilman since 2002, topped the roster with 263 votes, followed by a surprisingly strong showing by former Planning and Zoning coordinator Fran Heinrich (R,Ic) with 209, former Town Board member George McGowan (R,C) with 187, followed by local businessman John Carr (R) at 163, and former Town and Janie Green (R,D) with 68. Since he had no supplementary endorsement, Carr's name won't be on the ballot in November, but the rest will be back. In the general election, they'll be joined in the race by Republican Marisa Muratori, a former Lake George Village trustee who is a Republican, but running under a Democratic label.
Lake George's supervisor race was uncontested in the Primary. But in November, Councilman Frank McCoy (R) will face former Town Supervisor Dennis L. Dickinson (D).
In Thurman, four G.O.P candidates were seeking two open board seats.

James Bond-style malware targets firm that secures industrial systems
To get a sense of just how advanced some malware-based espionage campaigns have become, consider one recently perpetrated against
Digital Bond
, a security consultancy that specializes in safeguarding computer systems used to control dams, gasoline refineries, and other critical infrastructure against attack.
A recently sent e-mail addressed a Digital Bond employee by name and used an account that was registered to appear as if it belonged to Dale Peterson, the company's founder and CEO. According to a
blog post
published late last week, it made reference to a paper Peterson co-authored in 2009 and asked the employee to click on a Web link that led to a compressed file stored on a compromised server. Malicious code in the file installs a remote backdoor on end-user machines. It was
detected by only seven of 42 antivirus products
. That suggests the trojan hadn't circulated widely before it was unleashed on Digital Bond, presumably to tap its employees' expertise in the security of ICS, or industrial control systems.
"It's a bit concerning that a company whose sole focus is securing industrial control systems should be spear phished," wrote Reid Wightman, another Digital Bond researcher. "The attacker clearly went to enough trouble to try to understand ICS security lingo to get the employee to open the link, and had to compromise a DNS server."

GREENSBORO, N.C. — With snow in the forecast, Guilford County Department of Transportation teams are loading their trucks with salt brine and pretreating highways and interstates.
If the forecast for snow is right, Antonie White with the Guilford County DOT feels this will be a very long week.
"Monday will be our last normal work day. Tuesday we will get ready for plowing and we won't leave until all the snow is off the roads."
Meanwhile, Greensboro Field Operations teams will pretreat major roads like Wendover Avenue, downtown streets and bridges with 50,000 gallons of salt brine.
Mike Mabe with the City of Greensboro says it's easier for crews to pretreat Greensboro roads at night.
"[There is] a lot of stop-and-go traffic which takes a lot longer and we found that our brine operations run more smoothly overnight."

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
Student athletes Mallory Hebert and Nate Mullins have been awarded the Harwood Union principals' outstanding student athlete awards.
Presented on November 12, the award is presented to a senior boy and girl who best represent Highlander pride and achievement. Hebert and Mullins, according to Principal Duane Pierson, share almost nothing in terms of types of sports that they play, but share a deep passion for their sports, their teammates, and the world beyond their athletic fields.
Hebert is a two-sport athlete and a world traveler. An outstanding student, she has been involved in an array of community service and leadership programs. She was a Rwandan ambassador, has traveled with European artists, is a current member of Harwood's student government and, as a People to People ambassador, has been invited to attend the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama. This fall she played an important role on Harwood Union's first undefeated and untied field hockey team, helping lead them to a Division 2 state championship. Her coach sees in her a great athlete with outstanding sportsmanship and a great work ethic: a player who is always positive, supportive, striving to be her best, and bringing that out in others.
Mullins has been a three-sport athlete and tremendous student. He is a member of the National Honor Society and ranks in the top 10 of his graduating class. An accomplished musician, he is a member of Harwood's regular Band, the Wind Ensemble, and both the A and B Jazz bands. He is a member of student government and the Interact Club and is about to become an Eagle Scout.
His coach describes him as a "varsity athlete who truly represents all that is great about sport: dedication, teamwork, exceptional work ethic, consistency of effort, and picking yourself up after you fall down." He was a member of the 2007 Division 2 State Soccer Champions and the 2008 State Division 2 Finalist.
Also honored were the following students who were recognized when Harwood held its annual fall sports awards evening.
Named as outstanding student athletes: Varsity Girls' Soccer, McColl Harvey; JV Girls' Soccer, Ashlyn Raymond; JVB Boys' Soccer, Cameron Hancock; JV Field Hockey, Meg Montgomery; JVA Boys' Soccer, Zack Harvey; Varsity Boys' Soccer, Eli Holden; Varsity Boys' Cross Country, Eamon Welter; Varsity Girls' Cross Country, Jill Mendes; Varsity Field Hockey, Abby Zarotny.

Wow! Wasn't it yesterday that I saw all those parents boohooing in the cafeteria after dropping their little blesseds off with their kindergarten teachers on the first day of school? Well today they were all in the cafeteria boohooing again as they watched their not so little anymore blesseds sing about their kindergarten days being behind them. Then Mrs. Tschirhart, the principal, introduced all of the kinder teachers accompanied by the thunderous roars of shouts and applause. Finally, the parents and their kinder children were treated to a slide show chronicling the entire year which Mrs. Brown put together. It all went so fast. But then it does every year. Oh well!

Brunner hit primary day as a shaky frontrunner for the GOP nomination. Polls showed Akin reducing a once double digit deficit to single digits and Steelman within striking distance. McCaskill and the Democrats prefer to face Akin: Her campaign committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee have run television ads calling him the race's "most conservative" candidate, a criticism, the real aim of which may have been to boost Akin with GOP primary voters. Akin's fundraising lags far behind Brunner and polling shows he holds the smallest lead of the three versus McCaskill. His Washington job also makes it harder for him to run as an outsider than political-newcomer Brunner. And both men lack Steelman's ability to reduce McCaskill's advantage with women. In addition, Akin's support for earmarking gives the zealously anti-earmark McCaskill an easy contrast. Missouri is a Republican-leaning state that President Obama is not contesting -- a step that McCaskill acknowledged reduces her ability to turn out Democrats. Any disclosures similar to last year's news that she billed taxpayers for flights on a charter plane she co-owned with her husband (she later reimbursed the Treasury Department) could also badly damage her brand as a good-government advocate. All that leaves her in an uphill fight against any Republican. But McCaskill clearly hopes a two-way race offers her a chance to partly denationalize the contest and better employ personal advantages: Her communication abilities, electoral instincts and tenacity comprise a political skill set that even many Republicans strategists privately admit are superior to any possible opponents'. And with $3.4 million banked in her last Federal Election Commission report, she can outspend her opponents, although outside money may swamp that advantage. McCaskill claimed her internal polling shows that she has maintained Democratic support. "Now it's just a matter of independent voters getting informed about the positions of my opponent," she said. "That will be something that we will easily be able to do because they have doubled down on privatizing social security, privatizing Medicare, and getting rid of federal student loans. "At the end of the day, do they want someone who's proud to be a moderate from the Missouri or do they want someone who wants to come out and join the tea party?" she asked.

Seabed discovery from the oldest wreck on record
Posted: May 31, 2012|
WINE jugs thought to have been on their way to a priory of monks on the Isles of Scilly have been discovered on the seabed, marking the site of what could be the oldest wreck in the islands.
An island maritime historian and diver has identified a number of broken pottery shards, which have been linked to a 700-year-old unidentified wreck.
The wreck, which occurred in 1305, is recorded in the Calendar of State Papers dated to the 14th century reign of King Edward I.
Maritime expert Richard Larn, a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedd, said: "To find an unknown shipwreck site today to add to Scilly's list is a rare event and to find one that is nearly 707 years old is remarkable."
Mr Larn's stepson, dive boat skipper David McBride, of St Mary's, found the first large pottery shard five years ago at the north end of Tresco Channel close to Cromwell's castle.
Working with Mr Larn, who accurately dated that first find, Mr McBride had been quietly searching for proof that it was a possible medieval wreck and not just a typical anchorage scatter of broken pottery.
"Underwater archaeologists surveyed the site last year supported by Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Maritime Archaeological Society (CISMAS) under Kevin Camidge and ProMare, a US charity that backs scientific and archaeological projects," said Mr Larn.
"After plotting surface recoveries of an additional 180 shards they concluded there was a single core location area which has yielded almost 300 shards to date, including wine jar fragments with handles up to nine inches long."
The majority has been identified as green glaze Saintonge ware, from a small region on France's Atlantic coast within Poitou-Charentes.
Additional shards can be linked to Normandy, Southampton and Cornwall, but the majority are broken French wine jugs, presumably brought in for the monks of St Nicholas Priory on Tresco.
"They would have been the only islanders of the period 1250 to 1350 AD who would have been able to afford such luxury," added Mr Larn.
Of the channel site, the definitive Lloyd's Shipwreck Index, compiled by Mr Larn and his wife Bridget, records: "Coroner for the Isles of Scilly William le Peor, on going to Tresco to take charge of the salvaged cargo, was seized by the mob and imprisoned until he was able to purchase his freedom."
Also found lying on the seabed surface last week was what diver Mr McBride called one of the most exciting underwater finds in the islands – a red deer antler fashioned into a hand tool. It is currently being radio carbon-dated by Glasgow University and it is believed it could be even older than the other shards.
Mr Larn is credited with the finding in 1988 of the oldest wreck in Scilly – an unidentified ship on Bartholomew Ledge from which was recovered a Spanish-Netherlands coin dated 1555.
The last wreck on Scilly was the Cita 15 years ago, but despite a prevailing impression that the islands have more than anywhere else in then Britain, Mr Larn says nothing could be further from the truth.
"Give or take, Scilly has had only a paltry nine wrecks per mile of coastline compared with Cornwall's 22 to 25," he added.

Today on Quilty, learn how to do an incredible – and incredibly easy – braid technique. Using a special hexagon ruler, Mary shows you how to get a fabric 'braid' started for a different kind of strippy quilt. The result? Well, the sky's the limit, but the technique is perfect for a little doll quilt. Mary worked with this project on an episode of Love of Quilting and knew she had to bring it to Quilty, too. Join us, won't you?
To watch more free episodes of Quilty, visit Qnntv.com
Quilty: Finally, a home for rookie quilters. Not everyone knows how to thread a sewing machine. It's okay! Quilty is here to help. Quilty is a weekly quilting show offered online that seeks to inform and inspire the next generation of quilters. Hosted by Mary Fons, a J.V. quilter and co-host of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting on PBS, Quilty delivers great quilting instruction with humor, zest, and respect for the art of quilting. Many of today's newer quilters visit quilt shops or randomly surf online with little to no knowledge of quilting basics. They feel bummed out and lost and often bail on the idea of making a quilt altogether. This is a tragedy of epic proportions! But it's no wonder: The home ec classes our mothers and grandmothers took were replaced by computer classes when we were in school. So it's Quilty's mission to teach rudimentary quilting skills in a friendly, welcoming way. There will be more advanced techniques, too, but the goal is always to inspire every viewer to make a quilt of her own after seeing just one episode. There's a new Quilty episode once a week. With style, class, and a sense of humor, Quilty aims to ignite new passion for the American quilt. Let's do this. For more Quilty and other related Quilting shows, visit QNNtv.com!

Artistic Touch: Camarillo artist makes living painting
Artist afforded chance to let his personality show
Wayne Fagan has been able to accomplish what a lot of artists strive for: to make a living with his art.
"I am very fortunate," said Fagan, now in his 28th year of working full time as an artist. "The majority of artists paint because they want to paint. I wanted to paint because I needed to make a living and wanted to do something that I liked to do."
One of Fagan's paintings, "Peppertree Canyon," is in "Then and Now: A Look Back at the Santa Paula Art Show," through July 8 at the Santa Paula Art Museum.
But most of his work is commissioned and rarely on exhibit.
"This is my second career," the Camarillo artist said. "At least 80 percent of what I have done has been custom."
Fagan grew up in small town Texas in the mid-20th century.
"At home at night in the days before we had TV, I would sit on the floor and draw," he said.
He spent several summers in high school working on his uncle's horse farm in Oklahoma.
"In the process I fell in love with horses," he said.
He graduated from high school at 16, but his parents told him there was no money for college.
"So I left home and went to work in the oil fields in west Texas for two years," he said.
He met a woman at church who taught art at the high school and she invited him to join the class.
"After about my sixth painting and a lot of drawings, I came up with this Indian painting," he said. She suggested entering it into an art show.
"Lo and behold, I won first place," he said. The prize, sponsored by the Diamond M Foundation, was full tuition at an art school.
"I hadn't thought about going to college at that point, certainly not art school," he said. "I decided, practically, to study commercial art rather than fine art."
Still only 18, he applied and was accepted at Art Center School of Design in Pasadena.
"I bought a little car, loaded everything up and that was how I got to California," he said.
To make ends meet, Fagan took a job at Bullock's Department Store. He enrolled in their executive training program during the summer and got on the fast track, going from assistant manager to manager, buyer and then divisional sales manager.
"I got away from art — that was a bad decision," he said. He started working for a company that did private clothing lines for men, but he hated the travel and time away from his wife and young son.
"I would get a phone call from my wife and she would say, 'Oh, you missed his first step. ... You missed his first word,' so I started praying to get out of the business," he said. "I had totally forgotten about my art skills that had brought me to California in the first place."
They moved back to Texas. Later, he quit his job as corporate sales manager for a men's clothing manufacturer in Dallas.
"While I was unemployed I started painting," he said.
In 1982, an interior designer friend saw one of Fagan's paintings and asked if he wanted to do a painting project.
"So that was how I got my first paying job for my art," he said. "I was so thrilled that anyone would pay me for my art."
That led to more jobs. At the time, he was painting in oils.
"I would take it into the bathroom and turn on the heater at night so it would dry faster," he said.
"I was working two other jobs," he said, "as a night manager at a fabric store and I had an afternoon job throwing newspapers on a 40-mile rural Texas route."
He painted late at night and early in the morning.
"I was getting orders nonstop from interior designers," he said.
He started painting Southwestern-style paintings and participated in some art shows in California.
"The most valuable thing that came out of that was that I met an art publisher," he said. "I kept emphasizing that all my work was custom and they were interested in me creating images that they thought would sell well."
A painting of two girls on the beach sold 4,000 prints because he didn't limit the amount the company could reproduce."I learned my lesson from my first publishing contract," he said.
They moved back to California where he had commissions. He did some pastels and switched from oil to acrylic.
Until about two years ago, most of his work was for interior designers, both commercial and residential.
"But then the housing market crashed and there were no more housing developments, no more model homes," he said. "So I started painting what I wanted to paint: horses, landscapes, Indians."
He recalled how, before he left for art school in California, he was able to spend time with artist Peter Hurd, who later became famous for painting Lyndon Johnson's portrait.
"He told me I should paint what I want to paint but that if I don't try to be like other people my own style will evolve, my personality will come out," Fagan said.
"I am really excited because I am doing my best painting right now," he said. "I am learning new things. I am making my realistic subject matter more contemporary in style and color."
He paints everything from still life to landscapes, figurative subjects and some abstracts.
He plans to continue to take on every project he can.
"I like to do projects — they are very stimulating for me," he said.
Fagan's work can be seen at: http://www.waynefagan.com.

The XCEL Hawaii Women's Offset 4/3 Wetsuit is a must-have if you intend on surfing in the fall, winter, and spring. Designed specifically for women, this durable, stretchy, and insulating suit works best in water temperatures between 54 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Contoured to fit a woman's body for performance and comfort
- Offset (OS) zip system (short zipper offset from the back center neck) reduces pressure along your spine and neck, which is especially prevalent when you paddle
- OS zip system also has a water barrier internal dam (located between the zipper and your back) that adds warmth and reduces water flow into the suit
- ThermoCarbon (heat-retaining lining made of carbon infused and recycled fibers) on core and lower body keeps you warm and the chill away
- Texture Skin external chest rubber provides resistance against the wind and helps keep you comfortable when you sit up on your board
- UltraStretch collar, sleeves, underarms, and lower legs ensure unrestricted mobility when you paddle, duck dive, and surf
- Pressure-bonded, glued, blindstitched, and taped seams in the core, lower body, and legs, plus Fusion seamed internal sleeves, lock out water, provide durability, and stretch with you as you surf
- Durable, four-way stretch DuraFlex knee panels are contoured to fit your knees' natural flex

Weird stitch
I am a little disappointed with this wetsuit because it really was a great price for a 4-3. This was also given to me as a gift to me so I really wanted it to be a keeper. This is the first time Ive ever had a suit with the internal dam, which I figured would keep me alot more warm. I think it does warm up once water enters the suit, but there is no added warmth than my old 3-2 suit. Im not sure if its the off-set zipper or what, but ALOT of water rushes into the suit. The zipper feels like it does not zip all the way up, so you get a chilling cold feeling everytime a wave hits you. The velcro neck and zipper seems to curve down lower (than the front of the suit) for increased exposure, not so much protection. Also the internal dam, gets tangled up easy and makes it harder to self-zip. I have to reach back to straighten out the dam first, then I can properly zip it up. There is also a stitch/seam in the back panel under the arm that rubs a bunch under your back. I thought maybe this would adjust with some wear and tear, but it is getting worse. I think this is a sewing defect in my suit, but not sure. Also, I have only used this suit about 6-8 times and already the inside fabric is stretching and separating. There is a lot of reinforcement, however, in all of the WRONG places! The fabric at the knee/calf is reinforced and warm. Everywhere else, around the chest, abdomen, the fabric is more thin and friable.

August 4, 2015
A federal grand jury has indicted three more former South Texas law enforcement officers on drug conspiracy charges, bringing to seven the number of members of a now-disbanded drug task force to be charged.
Federal prosecutors say Wednesday's superseding indictment included three former Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies who were members of the so-called Panama Unit. The new indictment charges Salvador Joel Arguello, Claudio Alberto Mata and Eric Michael Alcantar with conspiring to possess with intent to distribute cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine.
Among those previously charged were two former Mission police officers who were the sons of the sheriff and Hidalgo police chief.
Three other non-officers were also named in the new indictment, including a man who court documents say installed compartments in truck trailers to hide drugs.
