My Review of the OkCupid Dating App
Updated on February 5, 2018

Is OkCupid a Good Dating App?
OkCupid, now owned by the corporation Match Group, is an older dating site that was around long before the creation of dating apps. OkCupid was one of the first dating sites I used several years ago, and I have used the app too, but due to the unfortunate changes the site has gone through, I don't use it anymore.
The app was once a good place to meet people, but as of 2018, the app has gone downhill. This doesn't mean that OKC won't work for you, but the new changes seem to have reduced its user base a lot.
Who Viewed Your Profile?
Since the beginning, OkCupid always allowed you to see who viewed your profile for free, but the site removed this feature, making it available only as a paid upgrade. Most people aren't willing to pay to see who viewed their profile when other free dating apps like Plenty of Fish still offer this feature at no cost.
Being able to see who viewed your profile is helpful because it's another way to meet people without having to search through as many profiles. Upon logging in, you used to be able to view the list of people who viewed you and send messages to profiles of interest. Allowing other people to see that you viewed their profile too increased chances of them messaging you. There were several times where someone saw my profile view and messaged me first.
Your Real Name Is Now Required
Gone are the days of creating a unique username on OkCupid for privacy. Now everyone is required to use their first name in their profile. The real name policy caused a lot of people to cancel their account. Since this new policy rolled out, the user base in my area has plummeted.
Many people on dating sites, especially women, prefer using a screen name in their profile instead of their real name. Bumble and Tinder use a first name too, but profiles are verified through a Facebook profile, making them more safe and secure. OKC doesn't require Facebook to signup.
Using your real name in a dating profile hinders privacy, but at least Bumble and Tinder do Facebook verification. With a first name and location though, practically anyone can use social media to find out where someone works or lives.
One of the positives of OkCupid are the questions and answers in a profile that have always made the site unique. Sites like Plenty of Fish have similar profile features, but not questions and answers.
When filling out your profile you'll be prompted to answer questions on various topics ranging from sex to religion. Some of the questions are bizarre and very personal though, and probably should go unanswered. But reading answers to questions people answered in their profile is a great way to learn a lot about someones interests, beliefs, dislikes, and quirks.
Uploading Pictures
The photo uploading tool on OKC functions much better than the one on Plenty of Fish. Pictures usually don't appear blurry, and upload without issues. You're allowed to create more than one photo album so you can upload multiple pictures. You can also connect your profile with Instagram to display even more photos.
In 2017, the app added the ability to leave a comment on a photo, which I think is a positive change. If a user writes a comment on a photo in your profile, you'll receive a message notification. This is one feature not offered by other dating apps.
Is OkCupid Worth It?
Personally, no. I uninstalled the app. Some of the changes OKC made in 2017 were positive, but some have negatively impacted the app, reducing the member base. No longer being able to see who viewed your profile for free sucks.
Signing up and messaging people is completely free, so it might be worth checking your area to see who's available. In my area, not many people use the site anymore after the latest changes with the real name policy.
OKC is trying to become more like Tinder and Bumble with the "like" feature and new messaging style, but they should consider Facebook verification with their new real name change.

I agree. OKC is a waste of time now. It used to be a good dating site.
The "new" OKC is horrible. Don't waste your time. Paid version isn't worth anything either. They ruined the best dating site out there into a worthless waste of time.

Great article. I'll steer clear of that one, since I don't like those new features.

Meet the New Van Lier Fellowship Directors!
June 11, 2014 by elc-admin Leave a comment
Every two years, Repertorio hand in hand with The New York Community Trust has chosen three accomplished, young, Hispanic directors the opportunity to hone their craft on Repertorio's iconic stage. Now charged with two productions over two summers – one contemporary play in 2014 and a Siglo de oro (17th century Spanish) play in 2015 – Repertorio proudly welcomes Victoria Collado, Diego Chiri and Estefania Fadul and looks forward to the great energy these talented individuals will bring!
Their plays, El cruce sobre el Niágara, Fin de semana and Así van los fantasmas de México (primera parte) will be playing all summer. So check out the newest members of the familia Repertorio and don't forget to buy your tickets to these three great plays!
For tickets, visit www.repertorio.org/fellowship or call (212) 225 9999
VICTORIA COLLADO
HOMETOWN: Miami, Florida
BACKGROUND: Cuban
2014 PRODUCTION: El cruce sobre el Niágara by Alonso Alegría
Victoria Collado is a native of Miami, Florida of Cuban background and is a graduate of Florida International University where she received her BFA in Theatre Performance.
Both an actress and director, she is influenced by the works of Brecht, Pina Bausch and Agusto Boal and is very interested in mixing movement with naturalist plays to create an exciting energy in the theatre. Back in Miami, she directed for MicroTeatro Miami, What If Works and other theatres in the area.
She has chosen El cruce sobre el Niagara (Crossing the Niágara) as her New York Premiere, though her previous work on Los últimos días de una casa was nominated for an ACE award as well as an ATI Award win for Best Director of a Monologue.
El cruce sobre el Niágara by Alonso Alegría will be premiering at Repertorio on July 3rd. Following the story of an acrobat who is questioned by a skeptical young man, he is impelled to do what he has never done before – cross the Niagara with a man on his back.
DIEGO CHIRI
HOMETOWN: Lima, Perú
BACKGROUND: Peruvian
2014 PRODUCTION: Fin de semana by Julio Ramón Ribeyro
Diego M. Chiri is a native of Lima, Peru – a graduate of the Champagnat High School and going on to graduate from the Community College of Philadelphia and Bucknell University with Cum Laude honors and degrees in Film and Theatre.
Diego has an impressive directing history in both film and theatre, having directed Ashes (2010), The Zoo Story (2011) and the documentary Devising the American Family (2012) which was screened at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Throughout his education, he garnered various scholarships and academic accolades, including the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholarship, the CCP Foundation Scholarship, and membership in the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.
A fan of the work of Julio Ramón Ribeyro – particularly the writer's lesser known scripts – Diego will be directing the powerful Fin de semana (Weekend) by said author, premiering July 24th. Following the death of an indigenous child on the property of a private club in 1960s Lima, the architect of the building must decide between reporting the negligence or protecting his own social class – a decision made more difficult by the clubs owner, an oligarch capable of anything when his interests are threatened.
ESTEFANÍA FADUL
HOMETOWN: Hannover, New Hampshire
BACKGROUND: Colombian
2014 PRODUCTION: Así van los fantasmas de México, primera parte by Matthew Paul Olmos
Estefania Fadul is a Colombian born, New Hampshire raised director with her own company – Pleiades Productions – of which she is Artistic Director. Aside from that impressive feat, she has also directed and co-produced various readings, workshops and productions including Well by Lisa Kron and Persephone by Mathew Minnicino (FringeNYC). She has assisted various directors like Ed Sylvanus Iskandar (The Flea), Jo Bonney (MCC), Sheryl Kaller (Powerhouse Theatre/NYSAF), Tracy Young (Oregon Shakespeare Festival) and Michael Barakiva (Upstart Creatures).
A graduate of Vassar College, she has also studied at the Prague Film School and the Lincoln Center Theatre Directors Lab.
For her first Van Lier production at Repertorio, Estefania has chosen Así van los fantasmas de México, Primera Parte (So Go the Ghosts of México, Part One) by Matthew Paul Olmos, a fascinating play exploring the effect of the current U.S/Mexican drug wars. Inspired by true events, a young woman becomes the police chief of her village when nobody else dares to. Armed with a pacifist message, she must reevaluate the worth of her fight after she sets off a chain of events.

Can the new Google Maps solve Bengaluru traffic?
Bengaluru is the first city Google will be collaborating with to create models that better manage signal timings and other traffic woes. Plus, there's new Street View imagery for 11 cities

From today, Street View will be available on Google Maps in India. (Photo by Antonio Grosz, Unsplash)
To offer more beneficial and accurate features that are tailored to the various and distinct needs of Indian citizens, Google Maps today announced several new partnerships with local authorities and organisations in India. Google would be partnering with Genesys International and Tech Mahindra to execute these plans.
Street View will be accessible on Google Maps as of today with new imagery obtained from local partners that span eleven Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Nashik, Vadodara, Ahmednagar, and Amritsar, and more than 150,000 km. This move will soon be widened to cover 50 cities by the end of this year. This is also the first time that Street View is being launched completely by local organisations.

"We remain committed to collaborating with local organizations and the government as we work toward delivering even more useful features and information on Maps. We look forward to extending our technology and expertise to the local ecosystem," said Miriam Karthika Daniel, VP - Google Maps Experiences.
Google Maps will now display speed limits based on information supplied by the traffic authorities, supporting their efforts to promote safe driving. Bengaluru is the first city Google will be collaborating with to create models that better manage traffic signal timings. "As per the data provided by Google, the revised plan by Google resulted in an average 20% wait time reduction per driver going through the pilot intersection during the day. We are excited by the positive impact this can have on reducing traffic congestion, road rage, fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions," said Dr. Ravikanthe Gowda, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Bengaluru.
In addition to this, Google is also helping Indian cities achieve sustainable travel goals. The Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE), a free tool developed by Google to assist cities and local governments analyse emissions and find reduction methods using data on public transportation usage, recently underwent a pilot in India. In a statement released today, Google said that four Indian cities—Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, and Aurangabad—are using EIE data on transportation emissions to create climate action plans.
To launch Street View: simply open Google Maps, zoom into a road in any of these target cities, and press the area you choose to view. This feature will help create an immersive experience for the users to help them understand what a place would actually look like.

@evencleveland On my way home last night: a mini dachshund in an argyle sweater and rhinestone collar who answered to the name "Diamond."
@kidchamp @evencleveland would bowie be pleased? i like to think so.
@evencleveland Now I have a happy thought for the day: David and Iman, reading, suavely relaxed, surrounded by dachshunds in diamond collars.


I am so thrilled by how this program works!
In just 20 days I lost over five total inches and 10 pounds.
I worked out daily according to the 21 Day Fix plan for 30 minutes and followed the food program. At first the program was somewhat difficult because I have never really been into measuring my food, however, it's super simple. I can eat most everything that I want and I have now changed (somewhat, still working on this) my way of thinking about food – eating to fuel my body rather than dreaming about the amazing dinner I am going to eat while eating lunch, LOLZ.
That alone has helped me lose weight.
Vegan chocolate shakeo with frozen cherries, cinnamon, chia seeds, spinach, cold pressed coffee, and a little coconut milk is my new favorite!
I try to stay away from things that won't satisfy me like the avocado, even though I LOVE avocados, I can only ave 1/4 in a day, so why bother?
Fresh veggies, loads of fresh herbs, eggs, and roasted meats and vegetables are the way to go!
Here are more good recipes to try!
I will spend 21 days with this food anytime!

A place for us to share the things that inspire us.
Who's afraid of online giving?
One step towards a better future.
Most of us shuffle along, one foot in front of the other, not realizing that every step we take and every decision we make shapes the way our lives unfold. We keep going, but how do we really want to be moving forward?
Through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.


Timber was a beloved pet & amazing companion. She was goofy from the moment our family met her. Always getting into trouble, but continuously making us laugh. We have so many stories of our sweet girl, we don't have quite enough fingers to count! What a joy. We will miss her terribly, but she will remain in our hearts forever.
A donation was made in Timber's memory and the memorial was created on March 15, 2019.

Американо-аргентинские отношения — двусторонние дипломатические отношения  между США и Аргентиной.

История
Соединённые Штаты установили дипломатические отношения с Аргентиной в 1823 году, после обретения последней независимости от Испании. Двусторонние отношения между странами основаны на общих интересах, включая поддержание мира и стабильности в регионе, защита прав человека и развития коммерческих связей. Правительство Аргентины поддерживает США в области национальной и международной безопасности путём участия в международных операциях по поддержанию мира и пропаганде нераспространения оружия массового уничтожения. С 1998 года Аргентина имеет статус основного союзника США вне НАТО.

Американо-аргентинское сотрудничество также включает в себя: научные и технические инновации в космической отрасли, мирное использование ядерной энергии, сельскохозяйственные исследования и биотехнологии, медицина и охрана окружающей среды. Первое двустороннее заседание рабочей группы по освоению космоса состоялось в 2010 году, а в 2011 году Соединенные Штаты и Аргентина подписали соглашение о мирном использовании космического пространства.

Торговля
Соединенные Штаты являются одним из крупнейших торговых партнеров Аргентины. В 2011 году товарооборот достиг исторического максимума в 22 млн долларов США. Экспорт из США в Аргентину: оборудование, масла, органические химикаты и пластик. США импортируют из Аргентины: минеральное топливо и нефть, алюминий, вино, железо и сталь, а также консервированные продукты. Страны подписали двусторонний договор об инвестициях, более 500 американских компаний стали одними из главных инвесторов в экономику страны с вкладов в почти 15 миллиардов долларов США. Прямые американские инвестиции в Аргентину в основном идут в горную промышленность, небанковские холдинговые компании и производство. В 2007 году страны подписали двусторонний гражданско-правовой договор с целью обеспечить более частые авиарейсы между двумя странами, что позволило увеличить объёмы туристических и деловых поездок.

Hydra's Engineering & Manufacturing in the Sheffield City Region event.
In early October, we held our first Engineering and Manufacturing Benchmarking report event, at the Advanced Manufacturing Park Technology Centre. It was lovely to have the opportunity to meet so many sector leaders, and present our digital benchmarking report findings in person. Directors and decision makers from across the Sheffield City Region attended the event to learn more about how digital services can offer practical solutions to the types of business development problems engineering and manufacturing companies are facing.
Through working with our clients, our research and from chatting with businesses at the event, we found that many companies in the region are keen to enhance their web and digital presence, but don't know where to start. Our presentation invited further discussion about how businesses can improve user experience and engagement with their websites through opportunities from video to social media integration. Our digital marketing expert, Amy, elaborated on our benchmarking report findings to explain how much impact a poor digital performance has on engineering and manufacturing businesses, from brand awareness to lead generation, and how to improve.
Most of us appreciate how important web and digital marketing is to make yourself known amongst your target audience. One of the biggest concerns was not how to start online, rather, businesses were wanting to know how they can take their company's online presence to the next level of digital professionalism. Our experts explored the digital advancements that can be made to each business's individual website to maximise impact on their target audience.
Following feedback, our next article will provide a more in-depth insight into how video can positively impact your business. There are a range of ways that this innovative technique can be approached to ensure a cost effective outcome that encourages lead generation.

Review: Flutter – Volume 1 is an important coming of age comic aimed at an underrepresented audience
Comics are for everyone – or at least, comics should be for everyone. Traditionally, though, mainstream comics mostly cater to the white, straight male demographic. And while industry heavyweights DC and Marvel have started to introduce diversity into their superhero universes, the indie comics scene remains the best place for fans outside this demographic to find stories that speak to them. Such a story can be found in Flutter – Volume 1 by Jennie Wood and Jeff McComsey: an entertaining if somewhat flawed coming of age comic which – thanks to its its transgender subtext – is one of the most important books on the stands today.
What is Flutter – Volume 1 about?
Flutter – Volume 1 introduces us to Lily, a girl who isn't like other girls, as she can't get sick and recovers rapidly from virtually any injury.
Pursued by a shadowy covert organisation, Lily and her enigmatic "father" move to a new town, where Lily tries to fit in at her new school. Along the way, she develops a crush on a girl named Saffron, who soon starts dating a boy named Jesse. The kicker? Lily is Jesse – her superhuman powers also allow her to shift genders.
As you'd expect, the unconventional love triangle between Lily, Saffron and Jesse quickly grows more complicated, just as the sinister forces hunting Lily begin to make their presence known…
A convincing (if not always convincingly executed) coming of age tale
The first thing I noticed when reading Flutter – Volume 1 is how well writer/creator Jennie Wood nails what it feels like to be a teenager. Every young adult character in this book feels like either someone you used to know or even once were (or possibly still are). Jeff McComsey's rough, sketchy art further reinforces Flutter's raw, angsty vibe, and while his work here verges on crude at times, it also boasts some great colour work.
That said, while Flutter – Volume 1 gets full marks for its "school yard" vibe, the underling narrative isn't quite so successful. Sure, the plot is gripping for the most part, however, it also gets a bit murky at times, and it's occasionally hard to follow what's going on, which is frustrating even for a story with conspiracy elements. McComsey's art doesn't help in this regard, either; several characters look very similar to each other, which makes it hard to work out who is doing what and why.
Challenging outdated labels
Yet these are minor gripes, and pale in comparison to how Wood effectively wood tackles sexual identity and fluid sexuality. Indeed, I suspect that these aspects of Flutter – Volume 1 will really speak to anyone struggling with both these concepts, regardless of their age.
What's more, by having Lily morph into Jesse, and by presenting her attraction to Saffron (and later, Penelope) – both as Lily and as Jesse – as normal and essentially unremarkable, Wood challenges blanket labels like "straight" or "gay". In doing so, she gives transgender readers arguably the first comic book romance that they can directly relate to, in a way that's far less coded than has traditionally been the norm.
So, while Flutter – Volume 1 isn't the greatest comic ever made (or even released this year), it nevertheless deserves props for telling an engaging story targeted at an audience sorely underrepresented on the comic book scene.

Q: Can I set Gradle and Maven to install their local repos in other dir than %userprofile% in Windows? The question is about these build tools themeselves. How can I set the directory (local-repo) where they can chache dependencies? The default is to the user home, under the .gradle/ or .m2e/ subdirectories.

*

*%userprofile% Windows

*$HOME Linux

How can I change these defaults?

A: MAVEN -
Correctly pointed by @Asettouf, you can customize the settings.xml for maven to include the following -
<settings>
  ...
  <localRepository>/custom/path</localRepository>
  ...
</settings>

GRADLE -
You can use either of the followings -
Set the GRADLE_USER_HOME environment variable,
export GRADLE_USER_HOME=/custom/path

Or set gradle.user.home system property as -
export GRADLE_OPTS=-Dgradle.user.home=/custom/path

Or --gradle-user-home command line parameter.
gradle --gradle-user-home=/custom/path -d

A: Regarding Maven in your settings.xml file you can define a different directory with:
<settings>
  ...
  <localRepository>/path/to/local/repo/</localRepository>
  ...
</settings>

See https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-maven.html for more configuration options

Which Quarterback Does Washington Turn To Now?
The talk had already started, of course, and when talk starts it often continues in spite of the facts, in spite of itself, and the talk before this week's games was that Robert Griffin III was the wrong quarterback for Washington.
And that Colt McCoy, yeah Colt McCoy, was the right one.
The talk, of course, is unlikely to stop now, now that McCoy threw for 392 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Colts. Now that McCoy has thrown 4 TDs and just 1 INT in three games and has a passer rating over 100.
Forget, for the moment, that he put up today's dizzying stats in a 20+ point loss to the Colts (I won't even mention his 4 fumbles. He did, after all, get sacked 6 times and hit more times than that).
Forget that his current stats fly in the face of his career numbers going back to 2010.
Colt McCoy, greatest quarterback ever
If the RacialSlurs and their fans and their coach want to believe Colt McCoy is in fact another Rich Gannon, a treasure of a quarterback thrown on the garbage heap by some other team too dumb to realize what they had, then let them if that makes them happy. I suspect McCoy is the latest in a long line of names that include Rob Johnson, Kevin Kolb, Matt Flynn and yes, I'm saying it, Kirk Cousins, who just a couple months ago was the best quarterback for Washington instead of Griffin. A few months ago that was.
Kirk Cousins, formerly the greatest quarterback ever
And what of Robert Griffin? Surely the best news he could get would be that the RacialSlurs were trading him away. Hopefully to a place well suited to him like Kansas City where he could sit for a year behind Alex Smith and learn under the quarterback whisperer Andy Reid. Or like Buffalo, where the team has moved on from E.J. Manuel, and where RG III could pair with budding superstar WR Sammy Watkins, and where the defense has been good enough to help the team build a 7-5 record despite the absence of any particularly good quarterback play. Or like St. Louis, where Jeff Fisher has a history with mobile quarterbacks like Vince Young and Steve McNair, and where he's managed to go 5-7 with a team that hasn't had a quarterback in 2 years.
Surely anywhere but Washington, with their racist team name and their sycophantic fans and their moronic billionaire egomaniac owner who has put together the most atrocious string of losing in Washington football history, broken only, coincidentally, by a certain Rookie of the Year quarterback with cool initials and a bright future.
Robert Griffin III. He was so good he could play sitting down and still win
I still think Mike Shanahan ruined that quarterback. Ruined him by playing him when he was hurt and getting him even more hurt. Ruined him by drafting Kirk Cousins in the first place instead of bolstering the o-line or getting a decent wide receiver. Ruined him by constantly trying to change the essential way he played, a process continued, criminally, by Jay Gruden.
But probably none of these things will happen. Colt McCoy will be the starter for a while. For just long enough for everyone to realize that it doesn't matter who starts at quarterback for this dreadful dysfunctional mess of a team. If the RacialSlurs were smart, they'd trade RGIII now, while he still has some value, while he still has his youth, while he's still reasonably healthy, and while there's still time for some other coach to think about all the different ways he could attack a defense with a player like Griffin. If they were smart they'd trade him.
But I think we all know that if there's one thing that these guys aren't, it's smart.

After fiery debate attacks on Bloomberg, Democrats scatter on campaign trail

The Democratic presidential contenders begin a frantic dash for votes on Thursday after a fiery debate featuring a volley of attacks on big-spending billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who was making his debut on the national debate stage.
With two days to go before the presidential caucuses in Nevada and contests looming in 14 states on Super Tuesday on March 3, including California, Utah and Colorado, the candidates will scatter across those four states for rallies and get-out-the vote events.
The intensity of the unsettled Democratic race was evident in Wednesday's debate, which featured repeated attacks on Bloomberg for his record on race, history of sexist comments and use of his fortune to push his way up the polls.
The former New York City mayor, who has been rising fast in polls since he joined the race in November, seemed uncomfortable and hesitant at times in his first debate. He defended his record and argued he had the best chance of beating Republican President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election.
Rivals Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg all leaped at the chance to go after the media mogul, who has surged in polls by spending hundreds of millions of dollars out of his own pocket on an advertising blitz.
They criticized Bloomberg, who has been accused over the years of sexist comments, for his treatment of women as well as his support while mayor of "stop-and-frisk" police policies that ensnared disproportionate numbers of blacks and Latinos.
The candidates also accused Bloomberg of trying to buy his way into the White House and said his record as mayor and businessman was not good enough to beat Trump.
"Democrats take a huge risk if we just substitute one arrogant billionaire for another," said Warren, a senator from Massachusetts who had her most aggressive debate.
Nevada's caucuses are the third contest in the state-by-state race to find a challenger to Trump. South Carolina holds its primary on Feb. 29.
Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has a town hall meeting and a fundraiser scheduled in Los Angeles, and Bloomberg has a morning event in Utah.
Warren and Biden will have a town hall that airs on CNN on Thursday night from Las Vegas. Klobuchar, a senator from Minnesota, has a campaign event in Colorado.
Bloomberg entered the race in November and is skipping the early voting states in February.
Trump delivered his judgment on Bloomberg's performance with a tweet late on Wednesday: "He was stumbling, bumbling and grossly incompetent. If this doesn't knock him out of the race, nothing will."

I still watch TV using regular old rabbit ears. We have two TVs in the house, one in the living room, and one in the basement. They work fine, and are each over 15 years old. So a couple months ago when the U.S. Department of Commerce allowed people to apply for up to two $40 coupons for a digital to analog converter for older TV sets, I applied. The coupons are only good for three months, and there is a limited supply of them. I received the coupons today, but they expire on June 6, 2008. It took the government nearly two weeks to get them shipped out. Bizarre. Or government efficiency, you decide.
The "coupons" look like gift cards (or credit cards). They are bright red and are labeled "TV Converter Box Coupon Program." There is a hologram on the front that says "Security" in a circle, with an eagle's head in the center, and the letter "s" repeated in the background. The back of the coupon says "It is illegal to sell, duplicate or tamper with this coupon. This coupon will not be replaced if lost or stolen. Retailer Support Center: www.ntiadtv.gov.
If you'd like to apply for your coupons, or learn more about this program, go to www.DTV2009.gov.
I've checked prices around the web. RadioShack, Circuit City, Best Buy all have the boxes for ~$59.99. Wal-Mart has one for $49.97. I'll keep looking.
Yeah, I still have an old timey arial on my roof. I really dont watch much tv so there is no point in getting much more. I applied for my coupons a month ago and still no word. How long should I wait before I reapply?

Burger King Presents: Seth MacFarlane!
Comedy, Fast Food, Marketing
In June, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane announced he was debuting a new internet "show" called Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy.
The plan was for the show to make money by featuring an ad attached to each 2-minute video. In late August, MacFarlane found a more regular sponsor, Burger King. Each video clip he produces features an animated version of The King bursting through a movie screen, with a note that the show is sponsored by Burger King.
MacFarlane debuted his first clip/episode/video last Wednesday, putting it up on a new Burger King YouTube channel set up solely to feature the show. Check out one of the first videos, Why Bob Marley Should Not Have Acted As His Own Attorney:
MacFarlane has three additional videos that have been released, Super Mario, A Dog on the $25,000 Pyramid and Adopted. Click below the fold to view them all.
Strangely, one of the first videos, called "Super Mario" is no longer available on YouTube, but can be seen on Seth's website. Check it out, along with the other two videos:

News of Anthony Bourdain's death shook the world Friday morning.
How Will Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Be Remembered?
A new biography of the magazine's founder has been praised by our critic and slammed by its subject. A discussion about "Sticky Fingers," on Popcast.
Caleb Logan of the popular YouTube family the Bratayleys has died. He was 13.
The news was first confirmed on the family's Instagram page Friday afternoon.

Paul Rudd receives the 2,554th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ahead of "Ant-Man" release. Rough cut – no reporter narration.
Judy Garland would have turned 93 earlier this month on June 10th, and we are quickly approaching the 46th anniversary of her untimely passing on June 22nd. Proof that a legend never dies, two new works have emerged celebrating her 47 years on this earth, and the rich legacy she has left behind.
Many claim to have known the "real" Judy Garland, and/or claim to have tried to have save and help her. How refreshing it is to happen along someone who actually did know Miss Garland, sans such gross exaggerations. Someone who had the great privilege of being in her company on several occasions. Including her famed London recording sessions, the filming of her final movie and working under the same roof at CBS at the same time. That someone is Joan Beck Coulson, who has authored Always for Judy, Witness to the Joy and Genius of Judy Garland. Just like Glinda, the Good; Joan Beck Coulson floats in, in her (figurative) pink bubble and delivers a refreshing book celebrating Garland's life.
Along with her personal reminiscences, Coulson's book, uses the psychological approach of "7 Up" to explain Garland's life. "7 Up" is a Jesuit early childhood psycho-social analysis, that has the core tenet: Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man. Ms. Coulson skillfully uses this concept to anchor the narrative, without hitting the reader over the head with an over indulgence of psychological folderol. Throughout she makes intelligent assessments (Coulson's degrees and experience are in Sociology and Anthropology). Including the fact that Judy was forced to sing in her childhood, which logically accounts for the fact that she sometimes resented being forced to sing as an adult. Especially when due inept management who squandered her earnings, there was no monetary reward for her efforts, and in fact debt that she often had no knowledge of. I certainly think that is worth a pout. "7 up" indeed!
Ms. Coulson's recollections are crucial; especially those of being on the set of I Could Go On Singing. She was present in the audience while Garland filmed the iconic "Hello Blue Bird" number, and the title song from the film. Her memories of Judy's behavior are very different than that of director Ronald Neame. Coulson recalls a very cooperative, consummate performer doing her job and showing concern for the extras.
Always for Judy is an extremely well written and perspicacious book which sparkles with love, warmth, intelligence, sincerity and humor. All of the ingredients that made Judy Garland, JUDY GARLAND!
Judy shines brightest during the March 25th, 1969 concert at the Falkoner Centret in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her last live performance ever. The Garland wit is clearly heard as a Dutch fan, tries to convey in his native tongue his deep regard for the star.
Bravo, John H. Hayley for not only re-mastering these precious moments but for helping to dispel that myth of "a washed up Judy without a Rainbow." Through such conservators like Joan Coulson and John H. Hayley preserving Garland's legacy for future generations; the joy and genius of Judy Garland will continue to shine as bright as the stars in heaven.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has approved possible military sales worth $2.6 billion to South Korea, including six P-8A Poseidon maritime reconnaissance aircraft and 64 Patriot anti-ballistic missile weapons, the Pentagon said on Thursday.
The Boeing-made Poseidon aircraft, which are used for hunting submarines and conducting maritime reconnaissance, are worth up to $2.1 billion, the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said.
The South Korean procurement agency Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said in June it had decided to buy the P-8 Poseidon aircraft.
At the time, the contract was worth around $1.71 billion. Thursday's DSCA authorization included training, logistics, support equipment and services that could affect the price.
U.S. ally South Korea is engaged in talks with North Korea on improving relations and the United States is involved in its own diplomatic efforts with North Korea on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Washington has put pressure on North Korea via sanctions to give up its nuclear weapons program.
The Patriot anti-missile systems, made by Lockheed Martin Co, are to defend against ballistic missiles and will cost $501 million, the Pentagon said.
The Republic of Korea requested 64 Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) Missiles.
DSCA said the proposed sales, which were notified to Congress on Thursday, will help South Korea improve its missile defense capability and support U.S. national security objectives by enhancing Seoul's naval capabilities.
