Twigs & Pattinson: promise rings & love compatibility
KCS Presse/ Splash
FKA twigs is was in Paris yesterday for a performance. Robert Pattinson was seen leaving the venue with her, just after PEOPLE reported that the two had exchanged "promise rings". I didn't know we still did that. Isn't an engagement ring a "promise" ring? Or is a "promise" ring like a pre-engagement ring? I've been monogamous for a long time. Full Story
Twigs & Pattinson: up close at the BRITs

Check out this shot taken inside the Warner Music party after the BRITs last night. The photographer was allowed to shoot at a good distance. And no one is jumping into a trash bin, even though it's FKA twigs and boyfriend Robert Pattinson. They're together. They know that you know they're together. Full Story

The BRIT Awards are well underway in London. FKA twigs is there for the first time. She posed on her own on the red carpet and was joined inside by boyfriend Robert Pattinson who flew out of LA yesterday to be with her at the show. No official shots of Pattinson yet but this image has been making the rounds on Twitter from inside the show: #RobertPattinson Full Story

Robert Pattinson was at the Berlin Film Festival yesterday promoting Life with Dane DeHaan. Am attaching shots from the premiere too but mostly want to focus on the pictures from the photo call because of Pattinson's pants. He's never worn pants better than he's wearing them here, tucked into his boots, and no sign of mothering hips. Full Story
FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson's London Christmas

On Thursday, FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson were papped outside a comedy club in LA with some friends. As you can see, the two are still deep in mid-20s lust haze. It's annoying to everyone but you. And you know it's annoying but, at that moment, you don't f-cking care. This passes, almost always. Full Story

Robert Pattinson & FKA twigs: a relationship in photos
When I wrote about Robert Pattinson and FKA twigs a couple of weeks ago in NYC, and how often they were getting papped, and how that reminded me of Ryan Reynolds taking on the pap personality of the women who were in his life – click here for a refresher, Pattinson defenders were all like, yeah but her tour dates are public knowledge, as an explanation. Full Story
Robert Pattinson's patch

Robert Pattinson gave us a good look at his haircut last night at the GOGO Gala in Beverly Hills. He shaved too. And from the front, it's not bad. That's the best suit I've seen on him in a long time, no sign of any mothering hip action at all. He even seems young and more English again. Full Story
Robert Pattinson's Friday night plans
XactpiX /Splash News
FKA twigs performed in New York last night. Her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, was with her, hiding his new haircut underneath a ball cap. The sides appear to be shaved with a clump hanging out the back. Someone needs to knock that hat off his head so we can see. Many of you have remarked how often Pattinson is papped now that he's with twigs as opposed to his demeanor with respect to the paps when he was with Kristen Stewart. Full Story
Robert Pattinson loses one but not the girl
Pacific Coast News
A smiling Robert Pattinson was photographed in Toronto yesterday just as news broke that production on Idol's Eye, his new film (with Robert De Niro, scheduled to start shooting this month), had been shut down because they couldn't get the funding together. Pattinson will be fine. But it'll suck for those below the line. Full Story
In that "phase" with Robert Pattinson & FKA twigs
FameFlynet, Bauer
Robert Pattinson and girlfriend FKA twigs were in Paris the other day. He's joined her on tour. And yesterday they went shopping. I've attached photos but the video is better for insight. Two videos are embedded below. Let's play Video Assumption. I don't even think it's Assumption. Full Story

NFC chip for next-generation iPhone 5 revealed?
The next-generation iPhone 5 leaks continue, this time seemingly revealing a built-in NFC module. NFC code has been found in iPhone prototypes, and Apple has even patented its method for including NFC into a future iPhone--and it just so happens that the patents and the location of this new chip match up perfectly (the top-left corner of the front of the device.) At the iOS 6 reveal, Apple showed off its Passbook digital wallet app. Since then, many have commented that NFC might be the perfect companion to Passbook. We'll find out on September 12.

PC Industry Sales Dropped Nearly 14 Percent in Q1 2013

IDC blames smartphones and tablets for sharp PC decline
Research firm IDC has posted the numbers for worldwide PC shipments in Q1 of 2013, and they show the steepest decline ever in a single quarter since the company has been monitoring the industry. Global PC shipments during Q1 of 2013 totaled 76.3 million units. That number represents a decline of 13.9% compared to the same quarter in 2011.
The posted decline in Q1 of 2013 was nearly twice the expected decline of 7.7% according to IDC. IDC also notes that the poor showing in Q1 marks the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year shipment declines for the industry. Computer shipments in the U.S. declined by 12.7% year-over-year and declined 18.3% compared to Q4 2012.
IDC says that despite mild improvement in economic environment around the world and some new PC models with
Windows 8 shipments were down significantly
across all regions compared to the same quarter of 2012.
Declining mini notebook shipments took a big chunk out of the low-end market with tablets and smartphones also contributing to divert significant spending from the computer industry. IDC also reports that
weak reception for Windows 8
has hurt the industry and computer makers continue to struggle to differentiate themselves from others on the market.
"At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market," said Bob O'Donnell, IDC Program Vice President, Clients and Displays. "While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive devices. Microsoft will have to make some very tough decisions moving forward if it wants to help reinvigorate the PC market."
HP is still the top computer vendor but its worldwide shipments fell more than 23% year-over-year. Lenovo remained in second place and came close to closing the gap between it and HP. Lenovo posted double-digit, year-over-year growth in the U.S.
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

K&N Engine Cold Air Intake Performance Kit 63-1017 (NOT LEGAL FOR SALE OR USE IN CALIFORNIA) 92-95 HONDA CIVIC DX/EX/LX/SI 1.5/1.6L AIRCHARGER
Performance Intake Kit
K&N's easy to install air intake systems replace the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing allowing for virtually unrestricted air flow. K&N air intakes come with K&N's famous million mile limited warranty.
The K&N AirCharger 63-1017 air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing in some Honda Civic models. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your Civic's engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The 63-1017 air intake comes with a chrome topped K&N high-flow air filter that installs into the previous air box space. The placement allows air to be directed through a custom molded intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The oversized air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install requiring only pliers, a screwdriver and several wrenches. This air intake cannot be sold in California. It is not legal for use in California or other states adopting California emission standards.

Steamboat Springs The Grand Junction lacrosse team piled up five goals in the fourth quarter of its home match Saturday against Steamboat Springs High School. That wasn't nearly enough to erase the Sailors first three quarters of domination, however, and Steamboat held on easily for the 13-6 win.
"In the fourth quarter, we were doing some subbing and lost our intensity, but by then the game was over," Steamboat coach Bob Hiester said. "We played some really good lacrosse."
The win improved Steamboat to 4-0 on the season.
Brian Bertrand led a wide-spread scoring attack with four goals. Grant McCannon scored three, and Jack Spady and Ian Anderson each added two. Garret Erick and Andrew White scored one each.
"We had really good, balanced scoring," Hiester said. "We had a lot of kids that participated, and our defense played really well."
Steamboat hits the road again Wednesday for a 4 p.m. game at Rock Canyon before returning home Saturday to face Summit.
"We feel like we're in a really good place right now, playing as good of lacrosse as we've ever played," Hiester said. "We can't get complacent. The biggest thing we have to do is maintain our level of play and try to push it up a bit more."

After lagging the Intermountain West region for most of the economic recovery, the Las Vegas Valley has bested nearby cities — and most of the nation — in measures including job growth and housing prices, according to a report last week from the public policy nonprofit Brookings Mountain West.
"Indicators in Las Vegas are uniformly headed in the right direction, which is not the case in a lot of the rest of the region," said Kenan Fikri, a research analyst with Brookings' Metropolitan Policy Program and a co-author of the Mountain Monitor report. "You're one of the strongest, if not the strongest, cities in the Intermountain West."
Don't thump your chest too hard: Some of those gains came mostly because Las Vegas stumbled so badly in the recession and lagged so much early in the recovery.
"Just as Las Vegas had an outsized boom, it also had an outsized bust," Fikri said.
That big downturn left more ground to be gained back once the city started growing again.
Still, for a city that languished for most of the recovery in the bottom 20 for economic performance among America's 100 biggest cities, 2013 finally brought some economic luck. Las Vegas ranked No. 19 nationally for job growth, jobless declines, home-price gains and economic output in the second quarter.
Las Vegas added 0.8 percent to its jobs base from the first to the second quarter, compared with 0.3 percent in Phoenix and 0.7 percent in Salt Lake City.
Las Vegas' economic output, or gross metropolitan product, expanded 0.4 percent, outpacing Denver's 0.2 percent and Albuquerque, N.M.'s 0.1 percent.
Plus, Las Vegas led the 10-city Intermountain West region in housing-price gains, with a jump of 6.5 percent in the second quarter. Phoenix, at 4.6 percent, was a distant second. Some markets, such as Albuquerque, saw housing prices drop.
Though some of Las Vegas' improvement came from that hard bounce after the big fall, you can also credit broader economic stability, Fikri said.
"As the national recovery progressed, people had that discretionary income again, so it's not surprising they started taking vacations and traveling again," he said.
Though the local economy has picked up pace, it has a long way to go to return to prerecession levels.
Despite strong job growth, unemployment budged little from quarter to quarter, probably because once-discouraged workers began returning to the labor pool, Fikri said. The local jobs rate is stalled at 9.7 percent, roughly the same level as the worst national reading three years ago. So Las Vegas is mired at what was crisis-level unemployment for the nation. The city has restored just a third of jobs lost in the downturn.
Stubbornly high joblessness has long-term social and economic consequences, because it means a big chunk of the workforce is losing its skills more and more each quarter, Fikri said.
Housing prices are well below boom-era numbers, too. At the depths of the recession, local homes were worth 34.5 percent of their peak. Today, they're worth just 40 percent of their highs, the Brookings analysis showed.
What's more, economic output remains 8.4 percent below its prerecession peak.
It could take half a decade for the economy to bounce back completely, barring another national downturn, Fikri said.
When the economy does come back, it could look a little different. Leisure and hospitality will stay the city's most important jobs sector for the foreseeable future, but Brookings' best growers in the second quarter were education, health care and business services.
That's probably because those fields were undersized before the recession, and are now catching up, Fikri said. He also pointed to a bigger push for economic diversification since the downturn.
Whatever the reason, "your economy is going to look a little different," he said. "It will bring in a different kind of worker. It will help make Las Vegas slightly less reliant on the earnings of the rest of the country, and less reliant on invisible wealth from a housing bubble that wasn't real."

Recent news surrounding the solar power industry hasn't been all that rosy amid the uncertain global economy and market outlook. However, many experts still believe in the long-term growth potential of solar and its prospects of becoming one of the most significant renewable energy sources.
Despite differing views on the industry's outlook, we believe solar energy can always be put to good use – not just generating electricity for residential or commercial utilization, but also for something really meaningful that can positively impact people's lives.
A prime example of this is the use of solar power in education. Of course, solar-powered calculators, notebooks or other educational resources all contribute to improving the learning environment for young students. But what about an entire school or classroom that's powered by solar energy?
Samsung this week unveiled its first Solar Powered Internet School in South Africa to help students in their studies without having to worry about electricity or Internet connectivity. The environmentally-friendly, transportable classroom is a perfect fit for Africa as it addresses one of the region's biggest challenges – providing stable supply of electricity in rural areas.
Meet Samsung's Solar Powered Internet School!
The 12-meter renovated container has solar panels installed on the roof that can generate nine hours of electricity a day, powering the electronic equipments inside the classroom. The classroom is equipped with a 50-inch electronic board, Internet-enabled solar-powered notebooks, Samsung's Galaxy tablet computers as well as Wi-Fi cameras – all of which help enrich the learning experience.
Up to 21 students can use the classroom, and the entire curriculums until grade 12 are stored in a central computer server enabling two-way learning by connecting to the Internet. The school can also be moved easily with a truck so that students in even the remotest of areas can continue their education.
Solar power provides opportunities to learn and connect for students
We believe young students should not be deprived of the learning opportunity just because the lack of electricity limits access to schools and the Internet. The Solar Powered Internet School is just one of Samsung's efforts to contribute to the local community with its innovative technologies and we plan to expand these schools to other regions throughout Africa.
Part of this effort was also possible because of the fact that Samsung produces competitive solar panels that are efficient and have high sunlight conversion rates. Samsung last year identified solar as one of its new growth businesses, aiming to invest 6 trillion won ($5.4 billion) until 2020 to generate 10 trillion won in annual revenue by that year.
Samsung SDI Co., which makes rechargeable batteries for mobile devices, is responsible for our solar business and currently has a capacity to produce 150 megawatts, with plans to increase production to 3 gigawatts by 2015. Samsung has been working on the solar cell technology since 2007 and achieved the industry's top-level solar cell efficiency with cells using crystalline silicon — around 19 percent.
Moreover, Samsung SDI's strength in energy storage systems will help the company offer competitive products in solar power generation and storage.
To learn more about Samsung's five new growth businesses, visit the Economist, which this month published an extensive story on how we are focusing on green technology and healthcare. Regarding our solar businesses, the article said:
In solar energy Samsung plans to make panels for both domestic and industrial use. Producing panels for "utility-scale" projects may allow it to lower prices for the residential market. Changsik Choi, who heads the business, also speaks optimistically of a "brand halo effect": consumers whose living rooms are stuffed with Samsung products may choose the company for their rooftops too. |
Also read an interview from Reuters last month here, which provides an outlook on the solar industry and Samsung SDI's strategy in the business.

Tekken (US - BD RA)
Gabe visits the octagon for another "classic" video game adaptation...
I have played exactly zero hours of Tekken the video game. I found (find) the post Street Fighter II fighting games impossibly difficult, especially when put against friends that had the skill set to destroy me with a two million hit combo right off the bat. Apparently there are 17 or so games in the series at this point, along with an animated film, so the eventual presence of a moderately priced live action feature isn't a surprise (though the nearly 17 years it took to happen seems excessive). As a noob, I have no real expectations except for those laid out by other video game films. I know that Tekken will either be a bad movie with redeeming entertainment value, like Mortal Kombat, or a soul-sucking bore with all the redeeming value of lyme disease, like Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. I do know something about director Dwight H. Little, and I'm surprised the production hired him, considering his years of experience. It seems to me these modest video game and live action anime films are usually put together by a relatively untested guy, usually one that comes from special effects, second unit, or stunt direction. Little can't cost a lot, but he's been in the game since the early '80s. His schlock pedigree is actually rather impressive, including Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off Bloodstone, Halloween 4 (a film that distinguishes itself by being slightly better than Halloween 5), a strange slasher movie take on The Phantom of the Opera starring Robert Englund, one of Steven Seagal's 'best' films ( Marked for Death), a genuinely entertaining Brandon Lee/Powers Boothe vehicle ( Rapid Fire), and two sequels nobody wanted or asked for ( Free Willy 2 and Anacondas 2). If that CV doesn't scream 'I'm ready to direct a movie based on a 17 year old videogame', I don't know what does.
Tekken starts with a prologue that explains the back-story in about a minute flat. Part of me thinks 'Oh good, we don't have to waste time on a derivative plot', but another part of me thinks 'Oh, there goes all the film's narrative aspirations'. I'm sort of happy to turn my brain off, but more disappointed that the film promises not to over step my depressing expectations right off the bat. Even sadder, this creates the mood of a sequel no one asked for to a film that was never made. From here we learn about the characters (this guy is old, he listens to the Beatles, and we learn about the post-apocalyptic universe (nobody has heard of the Beatles). Most of this information is conveyed via the most blatantly expositional dialogue ('This reminds me of that time this specific thing happened to me'), and most of the dialogue gives away the ESL roots of the screenplay thanks to awkward speech patterns. When not being expositional or pooping out bad one-liners, the dialogue is made up of inspirational speeches aimed at the main character, who has an apparently low sense of self worth. The flat, lifeless performances don't help. Of course it doesn't really matter because we don't care about these characters at all, and the filmmakers have little interest in compelling us to change our opinions.
The three people it took to write this hogwash decided to use the Running Man template (which I've established in my Running Man review wasn't Running Man's original premise), and set the plot around a tournament meant to divert a sad population's attention away from their problems. This is apparently not the story behind the videogame (I watched the film with a friend that filled me in on the basic factoids of the game). The 'Reality TV/Game of Death' trope is painfully overused, but does allow the filmmakers to set the story in the familiar world of MMA octagons, which isn't clever, but probably sold a couple of tickets this way, and the move earns them a few context points (the Tekken universe is literally run by corporations as well, which makes the plotline, oooooo, topical). If we get down to the brass tacks, the point of the exercise isn't originality, or even plot, but to create something that fans of the game will recognize. From this standpoint I have to give Tekken some credit for making a movie mostly about a martial arts tournament, and even including levels (the octagon grows set pieces) and character selection screens for good measure. If there was one thing unforgivably wrong-headed about the two Street Fighter movies it was the distinct lack of street fighting, and in the case of the second film, a distinct lack of anything from the games outside of character names.
Little does his job as a B-list director just fine. He sets up a consistent look, points the camera in the right direction, and manages to capture the action. Mostly. Unfortunately, for the most part this consistent look is dull. The overuse of over-cranked slow motion is the most blatant bad decision, but I'm also not too fond of the sub-Ridley Scott Bladerunner rip-offery. Every scene is shot using multiple gelled lights, but only just enough to be able to discern the images in the utter blackness. There's also some smoke thrown in for good measure, just in case we didn't get the whole Bladerunner connection. Little's action direction is capable, save a scene he shoots through strobing lights (which blurs all of fight choreographer Cyril Raffaelli's hard work), but he regrettably keeps things chaste enough for a hard PG-13 rating…which is too bad, because he still got an R. The R is then entirely wasted. Characters engage in dirty sex acts, but we never see it, and they punch each other into bloody pulps, but the gooey stuff almost all occurs just off-screen. In fact, I could almost swear I noticed some shivering cuts meant to delete some of the gory moments. If the film had earned its R rating with some kind of gut punch (I mean this literally), beheading, or eye gouge I might have been willing to forgive its other trespasses, because I'm simple like that. In their defense it's entirely likely that the production simply didn't have the money to resubmit the film for a PG-13.
Director Dwight Little's cinematographic choices sit somewhere between the modern and the '90s, which is generally good for the 1080p transfer. The image is consistently colourful, and features a whole lot of high contrast texture. Everything is lit from, like, half a dozen angles, leading to unattractive mixes of green, blue and red, but these do show off the format's abilities to separate elements. Important details are rarely lost in the mess of deep blacks and neon highlights, and the more vibrant hues rarely bleed or bloom, though the overriding green lighting schemes do wash out some of the blacks on occasion. Detail levels are consistent, though never exceedingly sharp, which isn't really a problem considering the intended look. The one element that may turn some viewers off is the incessant fine grain. I'm guessing this grain, which mostly looks like real deal 35mm artefacts, has been added on purpose since the specs tell me the film was shot using digital HD cameras. If I'm correct (and lord knows I am not always correct) this means all these sharp, consistent little black dots are supposed to be here, and shouldn't be counted against the transfer.
Overall this Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack is just fine, but not very impressive in terms of overall stereo and surround effects. During the fight scenes the majority of the fighting noise is entirely centered. The stereo and surround channels feature vague crowd noise, and the interminable throb of the musical score, but I only distinctly noticed a handful of directional movements during the fisticuffs, usually pertaining to a stylized, slow motion impact. The shooting and exploding scenes are punchier, LFE-heavy, and generally more dynamic, but even these aren't particularly zippy, or directionally endowed. Many things make Tekken feel like it's 10 to 15 years old, and the use of Nu-Meteal/Techno Metal on its soundtrack. Though the score is also spiked with ridiculously mawkish Celtic numbers meant to evoke touching moments. Both brands of music are kind of low on the track considering the total lack of subtlety inherent in the styles, but nothing warbles or distorts at high volume levels, and the LFE presence is plenty punchy.
The only real extra here is 'Stunt Stars: Tekken' (51:00, HD). This is a decent episode of some sort of TV or web series featuring fight choreographer Cyril Raffaelli, a long time favourite of Luc Besson, mostly known for his on-screen appearances in the District 13 movies, and the fact that he and his friend David Belle more or less patented Parkour/free running. Raffaelli's presence clearly had a positive effect on the film, in terms of both the fight scenes, and the brief Parkour sequence. This featurette shows him planning with the actors and stunt men, playing the game for inspiration, and allows him to discuss his technique. Also included here is 2nd unit director Doug Aarniokoski, stuntmen Gary Stearns (whose final battle stunts are actually covered pretty extensively) and Ilya Nikitenko, production designer Nathan Amondson, and stunt coordinator Eric Norris (Chuck's son), who talk up Raffaelli's skills. The trailer, and trailers for other Anchor Bay releases are also included.
Fun fact: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who plays big scary headliner villain Heihachi Mishima, and who somehow walks away from this mess with his dignity in tact, also played the big scary headliner villain Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat. I suppose it's good to have consistent work in this economy. Not so fun fact: Tekken is pretty much a terrible movie all around. I doubt fans of the video game series will like it very much, and I know non-fans will probably hate it. If it had really earned its R-rating with some truly irresponsible sex or violence some of us might have fun, but it's mostly a very hard PG-13. This disc's A/V quality isn't anything special, but there are no immediate issues, and extras are brief, but not a total waste.

Are the quality of the costumes really enough to like the movie though? Yeah, the fights weren't bad, but there was no reason to care, was there? I'd rather re-watch a good martial arts movie that be teased with good costumes and decent, but short fights.

I do think the unseen Producer's Cut of Halloween 6 (only available in bootleg circles sadly) is superior to what was released. That cut of H^ feels like a John Carpenter film (from the late 1980s) in mood and story.

To the critic, did your friend really know anything about the games? Yes, this took a lot of liberties, but is also kept a lot of the key ingrediants. Main one being the SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER disfunctional family scenario with Jin/Kazuya/Heiachi and the hint at the Mishima family "curse" (Devil Gene anyone?). Also, most of the costumes were spot on and the fights were pretty good, if not a bit short at times. I'm a Tekken fan and I loved this movie. I will eventually be getting the Blu.

Halloween II is boring as piss. Nobody would like it if it didn't have Carpenter's name. But I give you credit for not despising III.

If this movie had a panda bear and a boxing kangaroo fight in it, I would buy it.
Tekken Tag Tournament is the best game of the entire series.
I usually don't like fighting games, but my friend just got Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and I'm addicted. My left hand is fine thanks to guitar playing, but after about an hour of play my right hand is worthless.
Tekken 3 is the direct cause of my Missus' arthritic thumbs - the game came with the console, and it help settle disputes when used in a relationship! This is in the same way that playing Goldeneye on the WII stops me from going on a gun-crazy spree when I get grumpy.
For the gamers out there, anyone who can't finish Tekken 3 playing Yoshimitsu probably has to have written instructions to brush their teeth.
Nice review of a load of old b*llocks, Gabe.

Halloween 4 is more than "slightly" better than Halloween 5. At the very least, it's the best of the sequels to Carpenter's film.

Poll finds indecision, fear on debt limit
WASHINGTON Most Americans think jarring economic problems will erupt if lawmakers fail to increase the government's borrowing limit. Yet they're torn over how or even whether to raise it, leaning toward Republican demands that any boost be accompanied by spending cuts.
In an Associated Press-GfK poll, 53 percent say that if the debt limit is not extended and the U.S. defaults, the country will face a major economic crisis. An additional 27 percent say such a crisis would be somewhat likely, while just 17 percent largely dismiss the prospects of such damage.
Separately, Republican officials said Wednesday that GOP lawmakers may seek a short-term extension of the debt limit, thus avoiding a default as early as next month by the U.S. Treasury while they try to negotiate spending cuts with President Barack Obama over the next few months.
"The worst thing for the economy is for this Congress and this administration to do nothing to get our debt and deficits under control," said Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Thirty-nine percent of poll respondents support Republicans' insistence that deep spending cuts be attached to any measure increasing the debt ceiling. That's more than the 30 percent who back Obama's demand that borrowing authority be raised quickly and not entwined with a fight over trimming the budget. An additional 21 percent oppose boosting the debt ceiling at all.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Training
- - What are your opinions on riding with a helmet
What are your opinions on riding with a helmet So I was just wondering what all of you think about riding with a helmet. If you ride with one then please explain why and if you dont ride with one please also explain why (: I ride with one cause I am like under 18 and still living at my parents and under an unspoken law I have to obey their rules and, that means a helmet when I ride... partly cause my horse is amongst the best bucking bronkos ever :D But even if I had the calmest horse like ever I still would have to wear a helmet... So yeah (: Thanks! |
I always wear a helmet. I grew up always wearing one and I guess it's just a habit now. I also go riding alone a lot and feel much more safe when I am wearing a helmet. |
Just want to point out that there have been a TON of other helmet threads. Sometimes they don't end very well. I grew up not wearing a helmet. I only wear a helmet now because it is the rule of the property I ride on. Really, I don't care either way if I do or do not wear a helmet. Probably if I got my own property, I would not wear one for schooling on the flat, but wear one for jumping. |
I wear one all the time. On rare occasions, when having to get on a student's horse to iron out a problem, I may have to ride without one, but I never like it. I always try to have a helmet handy when teaching. |
I never wear a helmet, and I'm 17. I started trail riding with one, and when I came to my current barn, I never had to use one. I rode a lot better and paid more attention to the horse since I wasn't be claustrophobisized (sp?) by a helmet and putting my attention towards that. I don't wear a helmet on trails, shows, jumping, or walking around the arena bareback in a halter. If a show requires helmets for under 18, I don't go to ride. If I were to try and run a barrel pattern in a helmet, I'd fly off the horse. If I pay attention to what's on my head while I'm riding, I won't catch if my heels start to creep up because I get of balance a little, or if the horses decides to tense up and then spook at something. I would advise anyone just starting out or someone who is doing more than walking around on a relaxed/dead-broke horse inside, but no one is going to get me to wear one. To each his own, I guess my level of self-preservation is lower than some. :p Posted via Mobile Device |
I wear one because I have a young, green horse. He's never done anything unexpected really but he's young and green, so the unexpected is to be expected still. If my trainer needs to hop on him, she borrows mine and the fact she wants to wear one is enough reason for me to keep on wearing mine. |
I wear one because I don't see a downside to it. I posted some studies a while back at the link below, just so there would be some hard data available: http://www.horseforum.com/horse-ridi...es-long-81416/ |
I always wear my hat! don't care what im doing , I always wear my hat. Even though my horse is bombproof I still wouldn't take the chance , I mean its like wearing a seat-built . The only time I rode without a helmet was when i was cooling dealer down on a empty beach. I wouldn't hack or jump without my helmet EVER. But thats just me :) Posted via Mobile Device |
I really think it all boils down to personal preference. There are always ways to be safer and there are always ways to be more dangerous. I think it makes just as much sense to wear a body protector every ride if you want to be TRULY safe and yet that's not common practice at all for day to day riding - do we trash, insult and accuse people of being unsafe because of it? I own a helmet, and I wear it at times. Lately I've been pretty consistent with it, my little spell with Jynx made me a bit nervous and although I HATE wearing them (they make me itch, make me sweat, give me headaches and actually cause me to black out in summer), I'm sucking it up lately because I'm becoming a little more aware of how hard I fall nowadays. I could never imagine trashing and attacking someone because they choose not to wear one. |
I grew up in stables always wearing a helmet. Ask I became an adult I have wore one less but for certain things I wear one. ALWAYS when I jump and do X country. ALWAYS when I do speed events. Last but not least ALWAYS when I am braking a young horse. I should wear one every ride but it gets so hot in GA and most of the time my WP and I never get out of a trot right now working on trail. My child will wear one till he is no longer living in my home. |

Thermal Stitch Preemie Afghan
Designed by Julie A. Bolduc
Date Added: January 29, 1999
The stitch pattern used in this pattern resembles the look of those wonderfully warm thermal blankets you can buy. This stitch could also be used in large afghans and would be very warm. The way the thermal pattern is made makes it really thick.
Thank you for using this download page to download this PDF file. Please link to this page from your web site if you want to link directly to the pattern. Do not link directly to the PDF file or I will have to start changing file names of the PDF files in the future. Thank you.

We drink a lot of seltzer at Serious Eats—a lot. Helps hydrate between the short rib sandwiches, the cupcakes, and the wine tastings. But as appreciators of flavor, we're always trying to jazz it up a bit; recently, I've been on a cranberry-bitters-in-the-seltzer kick; others have long been fans of the "little bit of juice, whole lot of bubbly water" route. Basically, we're always looking for soda alternatives. And while some of us like diet soda more than others, none of us particularly like the fact that we're guzzling aspartame/sucralose all day.
Which is why I think we all took to DRY Soda so quickly. This Seattle-based company makes not-too-sweet soda that's sweetened with cane sugar, in sophisticated flavors like rhubarb, cucumber, and juniper berry, at around 45-70 calories per bottle. The sweetener difference isn't made up with stevia or sucralose. It's all sugar, there's just a lot less of it.
So they've got a little more heft and body than a seltzer, but not too much more. And all of them are remarkably true to flavor. Whether that's good or bad? Depends.
Rhubarb absolutely has that sour-vegetal flavor going, but a little too strongly; this one actually could've used a little more sugar to balance it out. (We've never said a soda needed more sugar before. This shows you how restrained they are.) Cucumber, on the other hand, is fresh and juicy, that cucumber water you'd get at fancy health clubs smoothed and rounded out by just a little sweetness.
Some were polarizing. John didn't love the vanilla bean, but Carey loved it—finding it just what cream sodas always want to be, but aren't. It's the sweetest and the vanilla flavor's vivid, but doesn't come off as cloying. ("I was afraid this would taste like vanilla vodka," said guest taster Lauren, "but it didn't!") Lavender is a tricky flavor; if it's too strong and a bit sweet, it just ends up tasting like soap; too strong and not sweet, and it's powerfully bitter. This one was perfume-y in a way that John didn't mind, but others did. If you're a fan of British lavender chocolates, you'll dig these.
Blood orange and wild lime don't necessarily carry the "blood" and "wild" elements of those flavors, but they're more than enjoyable orange and lime, sweetness well-balanced by acidity. And juniper berry may have been the most interesting of all: like a gin and tonic in mild soda form. (The flavor doesn't come across as weak, just mellow.)
What we liked best is that these felt genuinely refreshing, in a way that soda often doesn't. On a hot day, a cold Sprite might taste great, but if you guzzle a whole one you're left with that "ugh, sugar" feeling. Guzzle one of these and you're good. This was put to the test recently after a moderately raucous night of Bachelor-watching, DVR-cursing (when it stopped recording 5 minutes before the rose ceremony), and state-of-the-world musing—all fueled by wine, of course; at some point we switched to DRY soda and it felt soothing, not worse-hangover-inducing. It's not every soda we'd drink to hydrate, but this feels like one.

Moscow, March 19 (IANS/RIA Novosti) The Bolshoi Theatre has said that it is undecided on how it will react to incendiary claims that it provides ballerinas as escorts to wealthy Russian businessmen.
Former Bolshoi star Anastasia Volochkova, who was fired from the theatre in 2003, reportedly for being overweight, made the allegation in a talk show appearance on Russia's NTV channel Sunday.
Volochkova's remarks will pile further misery on the Bolshoi, which is still reeling from an acid attack on its artistic director Sergei Filin in January that investigators have pinned on one of the theater's soloists.
Volochkova said while appearing on "Iron Ladies" that ballerinas told her that a senior theatre official pressured them to attend parties organized for rich financial sponsors.
The official "explained to them that they would go to a certain party or banquet, and that it would continue in bed", Volochkova said.
Volochkova said anybody that resisted the overtures was threatened with possible reprisals from the theatre.
Bolshoi spokesperson Katerina Novikova declined to comment on Volochkova's claims.
"I don't know yet if the [theatre's] management has decided on how to react to everything that was said in the show," Novikova said.
Volochkova was reinstated after a bitter and high-profile legal case, but has not secured any acting roles with the theatre since 2004.
Earlier Sunday, Volochkova urged Russian authorities to "intervene in events at the Bolshoi".
"I have a question for the country's leaders," she told the Ekho Moskvy radio station.
"What needs to happen at the Bolshoi Theatre - bloodshed or war - to make them pay attention?"
Continuing the war of words raging between the various clans inside the famed theater, another principal dancer, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, cast doubt on the seriousness of Filin's injuries during the same NTV show featuring Volochkova.
A hooded assailant threw acid into Filin's face Jan 17 in Moscow and fled the scene, leaving the artistic director with third-degree burns to his face and eyes.
Three men have been arrested in connection with the attack, including the theater's solo dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko, who the police suspect of masterminding the attack.
The Bolshoi slipped into chronic decay amid the economic turmoil of the 1990s that succeeded the collapse of the Soviet Union. In recent years, the government has invested heavily in restoring the theatre's lustre and its annual budget has now reached around $120 million.
The rush of cash has ensured the return of lush production, but has also turned the Bolshoi into a venue of vicious infighting.
In January, Tsiskaridze, who lost out to Filin for the job as the Bolshoi's artistic director in 2011, accused the theatre's management of a pursuing a "persecution" campaign against him and other "unwanted" figures.
While denying any involvement in Filin's attack, Tsiskaridze insisted he would never leave the theatre and that he was willing to take the helm should he be offered the opportunity.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
Eurydice is the incidental music composed for Sarah Ruhl's play of the same name, produced in 2008 for the Wilma Theatre in Phildelphia, PA and directed by Blanka Zizka. The play recounts the classic story of Orpheus and Eurdyice, though this time from Eurydice's point of view. Toby Twining is the 2008 recipient of the Barrymore Award for Original Music. He has been featured on NPR's "All Things Considered" and "A Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor.
Album Notes
Recording information: Fifth Stone Studios, Philadelphia, PA.
Toby Twining is a genuine American original. Like many composers of his generation who emerged in the late 20th century, he was classically trained in contemporary techniques and incorporated them in music also influenced by jazz and rock, but he works almost exclusively with voices and is one of the few composers (along with Meredith Monk) who has developed a uniquely individual approach to vocal minimalism and post-minimalism. He studied with Ben Johnston, who had worked with Harry Partch, and much of Twining's work incorporates Partch's principles of microtonal tunings. He also employs an inventive and colorful variety of non-traditional vocal sounds, some taken from other cultures. He puts all this together with melodies and harmonies of exceptional sweetness (and sometimes exceptional strangeness) to create a sound that is not like any other. Using a vocal quintet, here augmented with a cello, Twining creates incidental music for Eurydice, a modern re-telling of the Orpheus legend by playwright Sarah Ruhl. It's a little hard to imagine how music of this distinctiveness wouldn't draw all attention away from what was going on on-stage, but it's a fabulous, mysterious aural experience. Twining and his virtuosic performers sing and play with remarkable precision, sometimes projecting enormous power and sometimes diaphanous fragility. The sound is very clean, nicely atmospheric, and realistically present. The music has such immediate appeal and is so emotionally expressive that the album can be appreciated by traditional listeners willing to dip their toes into music from off the beaten path, as well as die-hard fans of the avant-garde. Highly recommended. ~ Stephen Eddins

PHILADELPHIA -- The story of the evening was a haggard Donovan McNabb, beaten and battered, standing over center in the fourth quarter, wishing this was all over.
He slouched as he stood behind Hank Fraley, a look of total despair and defeat written all over his face. The exhausted Eagle quarterback took the snap, took three steps back and fired a pass into the right flat.
The pass hit Tedy Bruschi right between the 5 and the 4. Bruschi literally walked in from 18 yards for the score that put the exclamation point on this one. It was 31-10 Patriots, which would be the score when the clock read 0:00. This wasn't just a beating of the Eagles (the first win by the Patriots over the Eagles in 25 years), this was a brutalization. McNabb wasn't beaten, he was pulverized.
And when McNabb later ran his final play of the game, you had to feel sorry for him. On a play which wouldn't surprise anyone if it got either Andy Reid or offensive coordinator Brad Childress fired, McNabb was trying to "rally" his team down three touchdowns by rolling right on first and ten at the Patriot 35. All his speed gone and spirit sapped, the immortal Matt Chatham came rushing in from his backside and caught up with McNabb with ease. He clobbered McNabb, knocked out the ball and Anthony Pleasant picked up the fumble. It was the sixth and final turnover of the game for the Eagles, and it was disgusting to watch, even for a Patriot fan.
Talk about a rebound game, the Patriots certainly got it. On a day where Tom Brady regained his silken passing touch and Christian Fauria seems hell-bent on becoming the next Mark Bavaro, the Patriot defense rose up and played one of the more inspired games in recent years. There was clear mission, energy and passion in their game, as the Patriots attacked McNabb all night long and pounded the Eagle quarterback literally into submission.
As the Eagles continued to sputter in their brand new stadium (they were shut out by Tampa Bay Monday night, 17-0), and as their ornery fans continued to boo louder than they yell "Dooooooce!!!", the Patriots completely righted their Milloy-less ship and played with an intensity Lawyer would have been proud of. Except for some brainless tackling technique by Tyrone Poole which helped the Eagles score their only touchdown of the day, the Patriots put a total clamp job on the Eagles' offense. Despite the great passing numbers by Brady, the defense is what led the Patriots to victory on Sunday.
Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel devised a stunning game plan based largely on blitzes and tight coverage on Todd Pinkston and James Thrash. Thrash did manage six catches for 80 yards, but none of the grabs did much damage at all. 37 of those 80 yards came in the fourth quarter with his team down 24-7.
The defense sacked McNabb seven times, two of them by Willie McGinest, who was subbing for the injured Rosevelt Colvin (who was hurt after recovering a second quarter McNabb fumble). In addition to the two interceptions, the Patriot defense also forced five Eagle fumbles, three by McNabb. Despite being flagged twice for 15-yard facemask tackles, Poole led the team with six tackles, with Bruschi trailing right behind with five.
There wasn't anything real fancy about what the Patriots did. CBS's Phil Simms commented that former Redskin coach Joe Gibbs used a constant blitzing strategy to help contain running quarterbacks. This is pretty much what Belichick and Crennel did all game long. Whereas this strategy backfired against Kurt Warner in the 2001 regular season loss to the Rams, it worked brilliantly against McNabb. McGinest, Mike Vrabel, Bruschi and Rodney Harrison came in all night long and from all directions. It was too much for an otherwise talented Eagle defensive line to account for.
Because of this, McNabb averaged nearly nine yards rushing to counteract his lousy pass stats. He finished 18 of 46 passing for 186 yards and two picks. He also rushed six times for 53 yards. Much of this yardage, as is usually the case with McNabb, was forced on him due to having to scramble out of the pocket most all night long.
The design was nice, to be sure. But what helped the execution was the energy level of the Patriots. Obviously eager to put last week behind them, the Patriots showed that they can move forward without Milloy, and still play at the high levels of intensity he helped to bring out here in New England. The Patriots may still have won, but total domination of McNabb and his mates was largely due to the energy of the defense. The Patriots literally played like the Bills did last week.
The defense overshadowed a stunning performance by Brady. Coming off the worst performance of his career last week, Brady used multiple wideout sets and attacked an injured Eagle defense. Brady finished 30 of 44 passing for 255 yards and three touchdowns. He was sacked twice, but neither sack proved costly. Brady's passer rating was 105.8, compared with McNabb's 33.4.
Brady looked a little shaky in the early going, mostly in the first quarter. But Brady twice found Fauria for touchdowns (all he does is catch them, folks), one in the right corner of the end zone for eight yards, and one over the middle for five yards. Brady also rifled a pretty 26-yard scoring toss to Deion Branch in the third quarter, a terrific deep slant pattern which hit the speedy Branch right in stride. Branch led the Patriots with 89 pass receiving yards on a day where Brady connected with ten different receivers.
This column mentioned Saturday that this might be one of those games where the Patriots don't need to run the ball to win. This was certainly the case, as Patriot running backs averaged only 2.1 yards per carry on 30 carries for 62 yards. With Brady riddling a banged up Eagle secondary, who needed Kevin Faulk or Antowain Smith? Things were so pass happy that Brady had one fewer carry than Faulk and ran three keepers.
Patriot Nation can rejoice in seeing the fiery spirit back in the team. With the retooled defense and its new strengths, showing that last week was an aberration was huge. Beating a top tier NFC team on the road the way they did is really something to squawk about. Familiarity was there (a preseason game four weeks ago) as was the injury bug, but the Patriots did what they had to do and then some.
And an effort like this could not have come at a better time. When all things seemed lost, when the season looked like it was down the drain after last week's stinker at Buffalo, the Patriots instead came out of this game looking better than ever, and ready to mount a serious run at returning to the playoffs this year.
And you can bet your boot that McNabb feels a hundred times worse this week than Brady felt last week, and in every way imaginable.

Allison Clement and Ryan Reed Charged Again With Murder of 2-Year-Old Savannah Cross
A year and a half after a 2-year-old girl was killed at an unlicensed Phoenix babysitting business, two people have been charged in the girl's death.
Allison Clement and Ryan Reed, the couple who ran the babysitting service, had previously been charged in Savannah Cross' death, but those charges were dropped in September.

Cross died in December 2012, and according to court documents had "extensive trauma to include deep tissue bruising, pattern bruising, swelling and abrasions from head to toe, front to back."

Medical staff described her bruises as "too many to count."
One of the girl's eyes also had significant injuries, which police said likely caused a permanent loss of vision.
Reed, then 27, admitted to police that he would "discipline" the girl, usually by smacking her, or flicking her with his finger, according to court documents. Police said Clement admitted to knowing of this.
Reed described the fatal blows to police, saying the girl was on the floor when he accidentally tripped on her while trying to walk over her, as he "inadvertently kicked" her with his first foot, and "stomped" her in the abdomen with his second, according to court documents.
"The victim immediately curled up with her arms around her abdomen and spent the rest of the evening in this posture," according to the probable-cause statement. "Reed said that he ultimately picked her up and placed her in her playpen that evening and heard her making groaning sounds throughout the night."
Instead of seeking medical attention for Savannah, they found her unresponsive at their home -- near 45th Street and Roeser Road -- the next morning.
Police had told us the girl was in the care of these babysitters for about a month leading up to her death because her mother "needed the help."
Months later, charges were dropped against Reed and Clement. According to court filings, the medical examiner's office was very slow to get some tests done, and a deputy Maricopa County attorney assigned to the case repeatedly told the judge that these tests would be in any day -- which turned out to not be true.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery issued the following statement yesterday, in announcing that Reed and Clement were indicted on the new charges by a grand jury:
"Despite the initial obstacles to prosecuting this case, our commitment to seek justice for this little girl never wavered. We now have the necessary investigative findings to be able to move forward with criminal charges and hold people accountable for her tragic, senseless death."
Despite the initial charges being dropped at the end of September, it wasn't long before Reed was back in jail. Phoenix police were able to gather evidence showing Savannah had been sexually abused.
Court documents cited specific DNA evidence and injuries to Savannah to support the charges. The medical examiner's testing also revealed "critically elevated levels of methamphetamine" in Savannah's system.
Reed was arrested on those charges in December, and was ordered to be held without bond.
Now, both Clement and Reed have been charged with second-degree murder and child abuse. Reed still faces additional charges of sexual conduct with a minor.

If you've heard that companies don't hire during the holiday season, don't believe it, says career expert and LinkedIn spokeswomen Lindsey Pollak.
On Friday, the Labor Department will release its nonfarm payroll numbers and the nation's unemployment rate, which analysts hope will encourage lawmakers to make a deal and avoid the looming fiscal cliff.
But despite the economic numbers--and the time of year--Pollak says that December presents unique opportunities to hone your networking skills and zero-in on your dream job.
"I ignored that advice [that companies don't hire in December] back in 1999 when I interviewed for and was offered my dream job at a career-focused Internet start-up just a few weeks before Christmas," Pollak says. "The same can happen for you."
Here's a look at four ways you can use LinkedIn to rekindle relationships, make new contacts and take advantage of this holiday season.
1. Reconnect With Former Colleagues, Friends
"The holidays are the perfect time to reach out and get back in touch with people you haven't spoken to in a while, such as former colleagues, classmates, long-lost friends and members of professional associations you used to belong to," Pollak says. "The key with this type of outreach is to make every communication personal."
Instead of sending an email blast to all your connections wishing them a happy holiday, be more selective and customize your message to each person you want to reconnect with. This shows that your desire to connect is genuine, Pollak says. Your message should look like the following:
Hi Steve,
Happy Holidays! I know its been a long time and I hope youve been doing well. I saw on your LinkedIn profile that youve moved on to a higher level position--congratulations! Id love to reconnect in the New Year since we are still working in the same field. Can I give you a call or take you out for a coffee? Thanks so much and enjoy the season.
All the best,
Pollak recommends saving the news of your job search for a phone call or an in-person conversation.
2. Network at Holiday Events
Before you head to a friend's or family member's holiday party, Pollak recommends checking out people's LinkedIn profiles to see what projects they're working on, contacts you may have in common and where you might be able to offer them career support.
"At holiday events it's OK to talk about your job search and be specific about what kind of position you're looking for," Pollak says. "If you do have some great career conversations over eggnog and cookies, remember to send each person a connection request or a LinkedIn message early in the New Year to follow up on any leads and continue the conversation."
3. Follow Up
Use the myth that no one gets hired in December to your advantage, Pollak says. If job seekers aren't as active, you have a better chance of standing out to employers if you do submit an application.
"Any recruiter with active job openings is highly likely to check his or her inbox over the holidays, so make sure your application is there," she says.
Pollak also recommends following up your application with an additional message to the recruiter that says something like, "I wanted to follow up my application to position #12345 with a brief note to express my interest," she says. Then, mention something specific that you've read about the employer, such as a positive news story or an industry development.
"The process may not move forward until the New Year, but you'll show the employer that you're ready to hit the ground running," Pollak says.
4. Spruce Up Your LinkedIn Profile
Reflect on the last year and take time to update your profile with any accomplishments or details you think will be relevant to your job search, Pollak says.
"Did you take on a large volunteer project that demonstrates your organization skills? Did you start a professional blog you can link to your profile? Did you complete some freelance projects that you can share in the Projects section of your profile? You never know what might catch the eye of someone in your network who knows of a job opening," Pollak says.
Remember that as long as you have your activity broadcasts turned on in your LinkedIn profile settings, these updates will be pushed out to your network's activity streams--another opportunity to get on the radar of others, she says.
This story, "4 LinkedIn tips to help you get hired this month" was originally published by CIO.
