Serves 10 to 12
I always look forward to the fresh crop of citrus and dried fruits and nuts in the autumn. In this rich cake, tangerines may substitute for oranges and dried cranberries work just as well as the dried cherries. The leaves of the red-flowered bee balm Monarda didyma with their tealike flavor may be used in place of orange mint. Other monardas taste like oregano, not the flavor you want in this cake.
• 2 cup dried cherries (3 ounces)
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
• 1/2 cup cake flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk steeped with 1 cup chopped fresh orange mint leaves
• 2/3 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped and tossed with 2 teaspoons flour
• 2 tablespoons orange zest, finely chopped
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease two 9-inch cake pans, line the bottoms with a circle of waxed paper, and dust lightly with flour. Soak the dried cherries in the orange juice. Sift the flours, baking powder, and salt, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric mixer for a minute. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Strain the orange juice from the cherries into the butter mixture, reserving the cherries.
3. Measure 1 cup of the mint milk for the cake batter, reserving the remainder for the buttercream. Add the flour to the butter mixture in thirds alternately with the milk in two parts. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Fold in the cherries, nuts, and zest.
4. Place the batter in the prepared pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away slightly from the sides of the pan. Cool the pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn the layers out of the pans and peel off the waxed paper. Place the layers right side up on a rack to cool completely.
Orange Mint Buttercream
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 pound confectioners' sugar
• Reserved mint milk
• 2 tablespoons orange zest, finely chopped
• Orange mint leaves for garnish
1. In a large bowl, whip the butter with an electric mixer for a minute. Add the confectioners' sugar, a cup at a time, alternately with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mint milk, using only enough milk to make a spreadable icing, 5 to 6 tablespoons. Discard or save the rest for another use. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the orange zest.
2. Assemble the cake, spreading the buttercream on the tops and sides of both layers. Garnish with the orange mint leaves.
Herbal Tip: Successful Cakes at High Altitudes
At high elevations, decreased atmospheric pressure stretches cake cells, causing the cake to rise excessively, or breaks them, allowing it to fall. To adapt cake recipes formulated for sea-level kitchens, like the ones given here, use these tested guidelines.
At altitudes above 3,000 feet, raise the baking temperature by 15° to 25°. Above 5,000 feet, also reduce the baking powder by 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon for each teaspoon called for in the recipe, decrease the sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons for each cup called for, and increase the liquid 2 to 4 tablespoons for each cup called for. Above 7,000 feet, decrease the baking powder by 1/4 teaspoon per teaspoon, decrease the sugar by 1 to 3 tablespoons per cup, and increase the liquid by 3 to 4 tablespoons per cup.
For angel food cakes at elevations above 3,000 feet, beat the egg whites only until the peaks fall over, not until they are stiff; decrease sugar by 1 to 2 tablespoons, add 1 to 2 tablespoons flour, and increase the baking temperature by 15° to 25°.
Herbal Tip: Invisible Herbs
Don't want flakes in your cakes? These cakes get most or all their herbal flavor by infusion, not chopped leaves. For a strong herbal flavor in baked goods, I steep herbs in whatever liquid is called for in the recipe, whether it's water, juice, liquor, or milk. For cakes, I generally use milk because it gives them a tender crumb.
A generous handful of fresh leaves or sprigs will flavor 1 cup of milk. Use the back of a spoon to bruise the leaves against the side of a nonreactive pan while heating them with the milk over medium heat. Do not allow the milk to boil. As soon as the milk begins to bubble around the edges, remove the pan from the heat and allow the milk to cool to room temperature.
Remove the herbs, squeezing out the excess liquid. You can prepare the milk 2 days ahead and refrigerate it, covered, until ready to use.

Sounds like you've got an excellent line-up of musicians working on this film.
Can't wait to see it next week.

I was in attendance (the guy who trying to get the "pi is awesome" chant going) at the Dover shows. If they're any indication of how great this movie will be, I'm very excited. Keep up the great news Darren; Bruce is the best.

WOW! Bruce is my favorite and I love your films, good mix. Venice is being quite irregular according to the press here in Spain. Hope this helps the last minute entry of "The Wrestler" gets some help with it. Wishing to see this film in Spain. Hope it hits the theaters soon. And hoping to hear Bruce's song: now the Magic tour is over it will help with the abstinence syndrome.

I was on set during the last days of filming in March, in Dover. I was fortunate enough to be in the front row! I had an amazing time meeting and talking with alot of the actors and the many people who worked on the set, Mickeys body double, Ernest the Cat, hair & make-up people, sound people, camera people...and I can't forget hangin' out with Mickey Rourke himself inbetween scenes and matches! I learned so much from everyone in regards to how a movie is filmed, what goes on behind the scenes and so much more. Everyone on set was extremly helpful, down to earth and way cool. I loved the theatre and it's yesteryear feel and vibe. I'm way excited to see this movie! Though for a few weeks I couldn't get that Guns N Roses song outta my head..lol. I just wanted to say Thank You to you and the crew for such a fabulous experience. My best to you! Heather (www.uniquelyrourke.com)

Spanish press, who's not always very friendly with your films has surrendered to "The Wrestler" as I see in the morning papers (they say you're one of their favorites to win). Congratulations and good luck with the awards this weekend. I'm everyday a little more eager to see this one.

I'm in Venice now, I'm an italian journalist and I loved The Wrestler. I found it simply great, touching and powerful. I'm waiting for the results of the official competition and I hope that tonight you and Mickey will win a prize. Thanks for your wonderful movie.

DUCKS vs. PITTSBURGH
Faceoff: 4:30 p.m., today, Consol Energy Center
TV/Radio: NBCSN, KLAA 830-AM
Update: The game features three of the NHL's top scorers. Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby was second in the league with 25 points going into Sunday's games, including nine goals. Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf of the Ducks were two points behind Crosby. Perry has a team-leading 12 goals and Getzlaf has a team-leading 13 assists despite sitting out three games because of an upper-body injury. Crosby, Getzlaf and Perry figure to be key players for Team Canada in the Sochi Olympics in February. The Ducks lost the first three games on their four-game trip, including a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in a shootout Friday. Illness and injury left the Ducks (15-5-2) shorthanded for each of their last three games. Getzlaf returned to the lineup Friday, but second-line center Mathieu Perreault couldn't play because of flu-like symptoms. The Metro Division-leading Penguins are 12-8-0.

Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto & Alex Bent Of Trivium Discuss Their Album, "The Sin and the Sentence"
In life, two options exist: death or growth. On their eighth full-length offering, "The Sin and The Sentence," Trivium choose the latter once again. In fact, the record represents an apotheosis of every element that at once defined the Florida group since its 1999 formation. Moments of malevolent melodicism give way to taut technical thrash, black metal expanse, punk spirit and heavy heart tightly threaded together by the musical union of the quartet—Matt Heafy [vocals, guitar], Corey Beaulieu [guitar], Paolo Gregoletto [bass] and Alex Bent [drums].

(Reuters) - Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson rejoined his team for practice on Thursday, saying he was "standing strong" a day after attending his two-year-old son's funeral in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Peterson's son died last week in Sioux Falls after suffering head injuries following what local police described as an apparent assault in a severe case of child abuse.
A 27-year-old man, allegedly a friend of the boy's mother, has been charged with aggravated battery and aggravated assault.
"It's an unfortunate situation and I can speak on it," Peterson told reporters on Thursday, having seen his son for the first time at the funeral after only learning the child was his two months ago.
"I was planning on seeing him and I had talked with his mom and had gotten some things together as far as financially helping her. Unfortunately, this situation took place and it's devastating.
"It's tough, but I'm able to deal with that. I got a good supporting cast around me. I'm standing strong, I am."
Peterson, the NFL's reigning most valuable player and a five-time Pro Bowler, was limited in practice on Thursday because of a hamstring injury but hopes to play against the New York Giants on Monday.
"I've just been trying to wrap my head around things and try to stay focused and play ball as well," said the 28-year-old running back, who played in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
"Things have been tough, but I can handle a lot. Like I said, I'm built for anything that comes my way. This right here will pass."

Maxine Hong Kingston Awarded National Book Foundation's
Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace
Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace is a harvest of creative, redemptive storytelling—nonfiction, fiction, and poetry—spanning five wars and written by those most profoundly affected by it.
For more than fifteen years, National Book Award-winning author Maxine Hong Kingston has led writing-and-meditation workshops for veterans and their families. The contributors to this volume—combat veterans, medics, and others who served in war; gang members, drug users, and victims of domestic violence; draft resisters, deserters, and peace activists—are part of this community of writers working together to heal the trauma of war through art. On Friday, May 25, 2007, Bill Moyers Journal, featured Maxine Hong Kingston and Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace.
Reading their words, we witness worlds torn apart then rebuilt. This epic and timely work is the distilled wisdom of warriors and their loved ones, expressing themselves with breathtaking artistry and truth.
Veterans Writing Group
Sebastopol, California
Maxine Hong Kingston's books—The Woman Warrior, China Men, Tripmaster Monkey, The Fifth Book of Peace, and others—have won critical praise and national awards. President Bill Clinton presented her with a National Humanities Medal in 1997.
Praise for Veterans of War Veterans of Peace
"A glowing result of a brave experiment"
"Powerful and finely written"
"No one I know personally has done more to help veterans themselves bear witness to unspeakable experience than Maxine Hong Kingston."

I am feeling very stupid, but I just bought a bottle of kikkoman soy sauce in a dispenser (which has a very nice design) and I cannot understand how to open it! Does anyone know how to do it?
Noi siamo usciti fore
del maggior corpo al ciel ch'è pura luce:
luce intellettüal, piena d'amore;
amor di vero ben, pien di letizia;
letizia che trascende ogne dolzore.
From memory:
Unscrew the red pouring 'cover' and then remove the plastic cap (which can be discarded/recycled or saved for when you next need to transport the bottle.)
The internal plastic cap is the bit I'm not sure if I've remembered correctly. I've been refilling my small dispensing bottle for years - I honestly can't recall the last time I bought 'normal' soya sauce/shoyu from anything other than 1 litre bottles.
I made it, thank you! The red plasctic cap was hard to unscrew and I was afraid of breaking something and pouring soy sauce all over the place :-))
I was wondering the same thing about the plastic liner, I figured one could puncture the plastic to restrict the flow, Is this necessary or not needed? I never "transport my bottle I just leave it in my cupboard. BUT do you need the plastic for anything other than transporting?
Aloha Nui Loa from Hawaii
Hi Marc David
The kikkoman dispenser is a design classic for good reason (designed by Kenji Ekuan in 1961 - so 50 years old this year!). It does what it is supposed to beautifully.
I guess you could puncture the plastic but I honestly find there is no need. The pourer gives a clean, easy to manage flow.
I don't think the plastic cover is needed for anything except as a back up stopper.

>>>All-PBC List
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) announced its All-PBC Men's Golf Teams at the year-end awards banquet Thursday, with a trio of Georgia College student-athletes making the list. Senior Bryan Fox (Roswell, Ga.), senior Victor Monte (Chantilly, Va.) and junior Ryan Trocchio (Norcross, Ga.) were selected, Fox making the first team and the latter two making the second.
This is the first time Fox and Monte have been selected to the All-PBC Team, while Trocchio was previously named to the All-PBC Second Team in 2011-12.
Monte has also been honored by the PBC for academics, twice making the PBC All-Academic Team (2011-12, 2012-13) and also being named a PBC Presidential Scholar (12-13).
Trocchio was named the PBC Freshman of the Year and to the National All-Freshman Team, while also getting an All-American Honorable Mention, all in 2011-12.
Not surprising, but all three were also the top-three on this year's Georgia College team in stroke average. Fox led the team with a 72.5 average, while Monte registered a 74.4 and Trocchio a 74.6. Fox ranks fifth in the conference in stroke average.
Fox has also finished in the top-five three times this season and four times in the top-10. The only other Bobcat to have a top-10 finish was Monte, who did it once.
The Bobcats will take to the links tomorrow for the first two rounds of the PBC Tournament at Callaway Gardens, Ga. The tournament will continue through Saturday.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

The cost of discipleship
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.
- Prayer of St Francis
- Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
- where there is hatred, let me sow love;
- where there is injury, pardon:
- where there is doubt, faith ;
- where there is despair, hope
- where there is darkness, light
- where there is sadness, joy
- O divine Master,
- grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
- to be understood, as to understand;
- to be loved, as to love;
- for it is in giving that we receive,
- it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
- and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
- Amen.
First Reading
Who can know God's counsel,
or who can conceive what the LORD intends?
For the deliberations of mortals are timid,
and unsure are our plans.
For the corruptible body burdens the soul
and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns.
And scarce do we guess the things on earth,
and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty;
but when things are in heaven, who can search them out?
Or who ever knew your counsel, except you had given wisdom
and sent your holy spirit from on high?
And thus were the paths of those on earth made straight.
His ways are above our ways as the heavens are above the earth
Responsorial Psalm
In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Second Reading
I, Paul, an old man,
and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,
urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus,
whose father I have become in my imprisonment;
I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you.
I should have liked to retain him for myself,
so that he might serve me on your behalf
in my imprisonment for the gospel,
but I did not want to do anything without your consent,
so that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary.
Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while,
that you might have him back forever,
no longer as a slave
but more than a slave, a brother,
beloved especially to me, but even more so to you,
as a man and in the Lord.
So if you regard me as a partner, welcome him as you would me.
"If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother,
wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
cannot be my disciple.Which of you wishing to construct a tower
does not first sit down and calculate the cost
to see if there is enough for its completion?
Otherwise, after laying the foundation
and finding himself unable to finish the work
the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
'This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.'Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
and decide whether with ten thousand troops
he can successfully oppose another king
advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
But if not, while he is still far away,
he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
In the same way,
anyone of you
who does not renounce
all his possessions
cannot be my disciple."

My favorite part was when the tractor went into the pond. It was funny because tractors do not run by themselves. Tractors don't go into ponds.
I liked the book because it was very funny and I think other kids should read it. It was funny because all the sheep and chickens ran away from the tractor.
My favorite character is Liz, because she yelled "Look Out! Look Out! Tractor About!" She didn't know Sid wasn't on the tractor and then it went through the clothesline.
I think kids should read this book because it is very funny. I think kids three years old to nine years old would like this book.

The Intel Poulsbo Chipset, also known by its official names "GMA 500" and "Intel System Controller Hub US15W", is typically found on boards for the Atom Z processor series. It embeds a PowerVR SGX 535 graphics core developed by Imagination Technologies and then licensed by Intel. Its major advantages include the hardware decoding capability of up to 720p/1080i video content in various state-of-the-art codecs, e.g. H.264.
As the graphics hardware was not developed by Intel themselves, the standard opensource Intel drivers do not work with this hardware.
On this page you find comprehensive information about how to get the best out of your Poulsbo hardware using Arch Linux.
Kernel's gma500_gfx module
With kernel 2.6.39, a new psb_gfx module appeared in the kernel developed by Alan Cox to support Poulsbo hardware. As of kernel 3.3.rc1 the driver has left staging and been renamed gma500_gfx. ([1])
- Native resolution (1366x768) with early KMS (tested on Asus Eee 1101HA)
- Up to date kernel and Xorg
- 2D acceleration
- Works out of the box
- Some are unable to get native resolution (e.g 1366x768)
- No 3D acceleration possible
- Poor multimedia performance (use mplayer with x11 or sdl so fullscreen video will be quite slow)
To check if the driver is loaded, the output of
lsmod | grep gma should look like this:
gma500_gfx 131893 2 i2c_algo_bit 4615 1 gma500_gfx drm_kms_helper 29203 1 gma500_gfx drm 170883 2 drm_kms_helper,gma500_gfx i2c_core 16653 5 drm,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,gma500_gfx,videodev
Dual Monitor Setup
To setup different resolution for external monitor using xrandr, xf86-video-modesetting-gitAUR from AUR is needed. This will replace the xf86-video-fbdev driver.
After installing, an Xorg file is needed to setup the driver. Use this for device section:
Section "Device" Identifier "gma500_gfx" Driver "modesetting" Option "SWCursor" "ON" EndSection
Fix suspend
If suspend does not work, there are various quirk options you can try. First, make sure that you have pm-utils and pm-quirks installed.
# pacman -S pm-utils pm-quirks
See the manpage for pm-suspend for a list of them all. One that has been reported to help is
quirk-vbemode-restore, which saves and restores the current VESA mode.
To test it, open a terminal and use the following command
# pm-suspend --quirk-vbemode-restore
That should suspend your system. If you are able to resume, you'll want to use this option every time you suspend.
# echo "ADD_PARAMETERS='--quirk-vbemode-restore'" > /etc/pm/config.d/gma500
If you are not able to resume and you get a black screen instead, try the above quirk command with only one dash
# pm-suspend -quirk-vbemode-restore
Set backlight brightness
All that is needed to set the brightness is sending a number (0-100) to
/sys/class/backlight/psblvds/brightness. This obviously requires sysfs to be enabled in the kernel, as it is in the Arch Linux kernel. To set display to minimal brightness, issue this command as root:
# echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/psb-bl/brightness
Or, for full luminosity:
# echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/psb-bl/brightness
A very short script is available to do this with less typing written by mulenmar.
#! /bin/sh sudo sh -c "echo $1 > /sys/class/backlight/psb-bl/brightness"
Simply save it as brightness.sh, and give it executable permissions. Then you can use it like so:
Set brightness to minimum:
./brightness.sh 0
Set brightness to half:
./brightness.sh 50
Sudo may obviously ask for your password, so you have to be in the sudoers file.
/sys/class/backlight/psblvds/brightness does not work, you may need to add
acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor to your kernel parameters. After rebooting, a new folder will appear under
/sys/class/backlight/; making changes to the
brightness file in that folder should work. For example, in some Asus netbooks the backlight can be controlled by writing a value (0-10) to
A variation of this script can be found here.
Memory allocation optimization
You can often improve performance by limiting the amount of RAM used by the system so that there will be more available for the videocard. If you have 1GB RAM use
mem=896mb or if you have 2GB RAM use
mem=1920mb. Add the following parameters to your bootloader's configuration file.
... kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda2 ro mem=896mb ...
... GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="mem=896mb" ...
... APPEND root=/dev/sda2 ro mem=896mb ...

No, there's no weird birth imagery, mostly naked dancing, or random extra heads. But Take That's "Kidz" video, which also came out on Monday, is almost as silly and science-fictional as Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."
Basically, a mysterious spaceship descends from the skies, while everybody in Britain is randomly watching the same science fiction cartoon on telly. As the spaceship descends, the army is called in, and for a moment it feels a bit like Torchwood: Children of Earth. On board the spaceship, the former boy band is singing about how the monkey learns to make machines and stuff, and there's a sort of rebellious Brit-pop aura to the procedings. Until finally the ship lands, and the band comes out. And poses for photos. And dances around a bit. And then takes off again.
Good job, Take That! I thought your giant space donut was here to liberate us all. Why are you lifting off again with the job only half done? [Metro]

Before Louis Armstrong left Chicago to join Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra in 1924, Johnny Dunn was considered the king of New York's Jazz trumpet players. Dunn was discovered in Memphis by W.C. Handy in 1916 and worked for him until he left in 1920 to take over Blues singer Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds. When Dunn left Mamie's band he was replaced by Bubber Miley. Dunn then formed his own band called the Original Jazz Hounds that featured singer Edith Wilson (who later became famous as Aunt Jemima in Quaker Oats commercials), whom he had met while playing in the Plantation Revue on Broadway. The show was a great success and even played in London. Upon returning to America she left the revue and joined Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra. Dunn was always heavily involved in the show biz side music and played in other musical reviews built around singer Florence Mills. The revues that he worked in seemed to always end up in London and he recorded some sides there in 1927 with The Plantation Orchestra. Dunn liked it in Europe and spent most of his later life there. He played in the Southern Syncopated Orchestra along with Sidney Bechet and with Dave Peyton, and Noble Sissle Orchestra's while overseas. He also found work playing trumpet in several other shows that revolved around Edith Wilson, Florence Mills or Josephine Baker. In 1928 he was back in New York where he led some memorable sessions with giants of 1920s Jazz piano, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Fats Waller and Jelly Roll Morton, but returned to Europe with the Noble Sissle Orchestra and then moved to the Netherlands and then Denmark for several years. Dunn died of tuberculosis in Paris in 1937.

Lindsay Lohan Medium, Wavy, Brunette Hairstyle
Is that Lindsay Lohan or Liz Taylor? This classy 'do is a hit at cocktail parties. To get the look: 1. Start with a medium-length, layered cut.2. Work mousse through damp hair and part hair to one side. 3. Blow dry roots, building volume by pulling hair in the opposite direction you want it to end up. Using a medium-sized round brush, flip bangs out toward one side. Alternate flipping in and out with the rest of your hair.4. Set waves with strong-hold hairspray, and don't be afraid to run your hands through your hair once in a while.
Kirsten Dunst Tousled Updo
Kristen Dunst's side-set chignon works well with fine hair that's layered. If some pieces slip out, that just makes it look better. To get the look: 1. Apply thickening spray and blow dry with a vent brush. (This will add volume, but not puffed-out volume.)2. Blow dry bangs to the side. 3. Brush hair back and create a side ponytail behind your earlobe. Wind the tail into a bun and anchor it with bobby pins. 4. Mist allover with flexible-hold hairspray.
Kate Winslet Wavy Half Updo
Kate Winslet's wedding- and prom-friendly half updo is super flattering for almost anyone, without looking too young or old. Steal her style: 1. If your hair is too short, get some extensions to help you fake this 'do (your hair should be at least six inches long, though).2. Work styling lotion through slightly damp hair, comb through and set your entire head with pin curls. Do this by wrapping sections of hair around your finger and then pin them to your scalp. (You can also use hot rollers on dry hair.)3. Release and finger-comb waves.4. Touch any curls up with a curling iron if needed. Pull the top section of hair back and pin into place, leave a face-framing piece on each side of your head.
Kate Winslet Blonde, Prom Updo
Kate Winslet's 'do is an Oscar favorite -- but you can wear it anywhere. What to do: 1. Apply mousse to damp hair and blow dry with a round, mixed- or boar-bristle brush.2. Work styling gel through hair (from ear-length down).3. Part hair in the center and brush back into a low ponytail, leaving out some strands out near your temples. Secure the pony at the nape of your neck with an elastic.4. Braid or twist the ponytail to wrap it around the base. Secure with bobby pins.5. Twist the hair you left out back and over the top of the bun. Pin into place.6. Tame flyaways with finishing cream and apply hairspray for extra hold.
Kate Winslet Chic, Blonde Updo
Kate Winslet's chignon is sleek and perfect on the surface but unruly from behind -- just how we like it. Get the look: 1. If you're hair isn't naturally straight, apply straightening balm and blow dry it straight with a jumbo-sized round brush.2. Work a palm full of styling gel through hair, slick hair (and bangs) back with a comb.3. Gather hair into a ponytail and secure with a clear elastic just above ear level.4. Twist the ponytail into a bun and pin into place, leaving the ends untucked. If a few pieces pop out, that's OK -- you want a little messiness back there.
Julia Stiles Party Updo
Julia Stiles' uber-casual updo would be great for a casual get-together. Steal her style:1. Blow dry damp hair straight using a paddle brush.2. Tease the hair at the crown for a little extra volume.3. Pull back hair into a French twist by twisting all your hair to the right while pulling the ends of your hair up toward the ceiling and pinning in place. The messier the better in this step.4. Loop ends over and tuck into French twist, pinning in place and use a bit of spray shine to glam it up a bit.

Read his story over at Atomic Surgery
The Hall of African Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History exists thanks to the efforts of Carl Akeley (May 19, 1864 - Nov 17, 1926) who was the kind of adventurer that Indy Jones could only dream of being.
He died on an African expedition in 1926, ten years before this hall was completed and was buried in a place depicted in the Hall's famous Gorilla Diorama. Of course we approach collecting and conservation differently today, but Akeley is to be commended for his love of nature and his desire to present its hidden corners to the world.
From Today In Science History:
Carl Ethan Akeley was an American naturalist and explorer who developed the taxidermic method for mounting museum displays to show animals in their natural surroundings. His method of applying skin on a finely molded replica of the body of the animal gave results of unprecedented realism and elevated taxidermy from a craft to an art. He mounted the skeleton of the famous African elephant Jumbo. He invented the Akeley cement gun to use while mounting animals, and the Akeley camera which was used to capture the first movies of gorillas.

Britney Spears Teases 'I Wanna Go' Video
The full clip won't make its debut until Wednesday at 6 a.m. EST, but Britney Spears fans can catch an early glimpse of her new video for 'I Wanna Go' right now, thanks to a just-posted teaser.
A number of Britney's songs and videos have tweaked her image or referenced her public struggles with the limelight, and 'I Wanna Go' adds to that tradition by imagining her as a cab-straddling pop warrior who wields her mic against hordes of paparazzi, using it as a whip to knock them down.
But the nods to Britney's turbulent past don't end there: the video also includes a quick reference to her brief career as a film star, with a marquee advertising a fake sequel to 2002′s 'Crossroads' popping up in the background.
'I Wanna Go' will be the third single from Spears' platinum-certified 'Femme Fatale' album, following the number one 'Hold It Against Me' and top 10 'Till the World Ends.'

When former Giants defensive end, future Hall of Famer, and "media darling" Michael Strahan called out former Bucs and Raiders defensive tackle, new Hall of Famer, and media "menace" Warren Sapp on Twitter for Sapp's recent radio comments, we hoped Sapp would respond.
We also hoped the response would be a little more biting.
Initially, Sapp said "we stop competing 5+years ago #AllTheBest."
Said Strahan: "I only competed against myself. Don't let people make you get at me to justify your HOF selection. Enjoy it because u earned it."
At some point, Sapp apparently said to Strahan, "You got my #!"
To which Strahan replied, "You have my # too. I'm a grown man and handle myself like one. Respect me and I respect you!"
It only got good when a guy who doesn't handle himself like a grown man, will never be in the Hall of Fame without a ticket, but who at least has a self-made Hall of Fame blazer chimed in.
"Both of u mothaf–kas are the sh-t no matter what, Hall of Fame or not what you've done is set in stone," said former NFL receiver Chad Johnson f/k/a Ochocinco f/k/a Johnson.
So, to summarize, Sapp used to compete against Strahan, Strahan competed against no one, Strahan has Sapp's phone number, Sapp has Strahan's phone number, and Johnson thinks both of those "mothaf–kas are the sh-t."

These are the tools we use.
For this assignment, we were using the Python programming language through TextWrangler to make basic shapes using Python turtle commands. The turtle takes basic commands like "forward (100)" which tells the turtle to draw a line 100 pixels long in the direction it is currently facing, and "left (90)", which tells it to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. This assignment introduced us to basic Python code, such as "from turtle import *", which allows us have access to all of the commands the turtle can be given.
In class, I made a square and a hexagon. For the remainder of the project, I created a cross, an "L", and a repeated shape. To start off all of the shapes I made, I first had to call the turtle using the Python command "from turtle import *", which allowed me to access all of the turtle commands, with the asterisk representing "all." The last line of code was always "raw_input ("Press Return when ready"), or something similar, which prompts the user to press the return key to close the turtle canvas; otherwise, the drawing would disappear very quickly, making it hard to see.
To design the cross (shapeA), I followed the same general pattern of the square-making code, except that instead of turning left all the time, the turning pattern would be left-left-right, which makes the turtle constantly draw three sides of a square, but never fully close it, instead linking it together with others of its kind. Designing the "L" shape(shapeB) was similar, except that I closed off the shape instead of continuing with the left-left-right pattern and I had different "forward" values, which means the sides had different lengths. For task 5, I combined shapeA (cross) and shapeB (L) into one shape called "ShapeC". I first defined the shapes using the "def" function, e.g. "def shapeA():" and then started typing in the instructions for the turtle below, but indented them one level. By doing this, and using the "def" function, I prevented shapeA from being drawn unless it was told to. I did the same for shapes B and C(which was a call to draw shapeA, move forward 100 pixels, then draw shapeB), then at the end, I called shape C by simply typing in "shapeC". For the last task, I added in a "shapeD" to the previous file, and used a "shapeE" function to call it. Shape D had a variable called "distance" in the parentheses, so I left the "forward" functions defined not by a number, but by "distance". Shape E was used afterward to plug in four different values for the "distance" variable: 100, 80, 60, and 40.
For this project, I did extensions 1 and 3. For extension 1, I defined shapes A, B, and C, and made a function called "callall" at the end that called A, B, and C and drew them all together, then called that function. For extension 3, I made a set of instructions that calls a square, then made it repeat twice by starting with "for i in range (2):", which makes a square twice (the number in the parenthesis is the number of times the instructions are followed.
In this project, I learned how to use the python turtle commands, like "forward", "left", and "up". I also learned how to use indentation in Python to change what I want the code to do, and also how to repeat a set of instructions multiple times.

VIDEO: The NBA remembers the Minnesota Timberwolves' Flip Saunders
Saunders remembered as leader, cherished member of NBA family | Anthony, Knicks gain inspired by Mets | Parker ready for new, reduced role with Spurs | Ibaka the most unique big man in basketball?
No. 1: Saunders remembered as a leader and cherished member of NBA family — Flip Saunders lost his battle with cancer Sunday at 60, succumbing to Hodgkins lymphoma on the eve of a NBA season he was going to start away from the Minnesota Timberwolves as he continued his four-month fight. Instead, he's being remembered around a league where he touched many throughout his career. Our very own Steve Aschburner, a longtime former Timberwolves beat writer, shared some of his own reflections on Saunders:
Saunders had other pet phrases, things he'd coined or gleaned from the many coaches' books he devoured during his trek through basketball's trenches — seven years in the CBA in Rapid City, S.D., in La Crosse, Wis., in Sioux Falls, S.D., after college work at Golden Valley Lutheran College, Minnesota and Tulsa. "You are the position you can guard," he'd say. And: "You give a player only as much responsibility as he can handle." And: "Your greatest strength is your greatest weakness." Sometimes he'd footnote, sometimes he wouldn't.
Flip also could prompt one back, typically when he'd claim that the only reason Marquette (my alma mater and first beat) won the NCAA men's championship in 1977 (his senior year) was that Minnesota, despite its 24-3 record, was on probation and ineligible for the tournament. "But like Woody Allen said," I'd remind him, "80 percent of success is showing up." He'd wave his hand and we'd banter another day.
The fact is, Saunders disliked confrontations. It was the single biggest criticism of him as a coach and, when his teams in Minnesota and Detroit went through some tough times, it was cited as key to his undoing. When your best player, Kevin Garnett, is a blast furnace of motivation and improvement, there's little about which a coach needs to confront him or the teammates intimidated into following. When some salty veterans such as Latrell Sprewell, Sam Cassell or Rasheed Wallace plant their heels, though, being player-friendly can get you pink-slipped.
Saunders was easily the most successful coach in Timberwolves history, particularly during his first stint. The Wolves went 411-326 and made the franchise's only eight postseason appearances, reaching the Western Conference finals in 2004. All other seasons (including 2014-15 with Saunders navigating downward for lottery chances), they've gone 407-940 with zero playoff berths.
The good times were the product of Saunders' coaching, Kevin McHale's acumen and Hall of Fame experience as VP of basketball operations, and the two college teammates' and friends' commitment to Garnett and, for as long as it lasted, to Stephon Marbury. That blew up in less than three seasons and, despite the subsequent playoff runs, Minnesota never got quite good enough.
A comment Flip made a while back in hindsight about that fizzled vision turned particularly poignant Sunday. "I hope years from now," he said, "KG, Steph and I aren't sitting around a table at All-Star Weekend saying, 'We really screwed up.' "
He couldn't push the Pistons over the top in three years, either, and the situation in Washington went sideways thanks mostly to Gilbert Arenas and his guns. And yet, while Saunders got fired three times at the NBA level — the Wolves dismissal, coming from McHale, stung all the way to the end — he got hired four times.
No. 2: Melo, Knicks gain inspiration from Mets — Give Carmelo Anthony credit for thinking big — and we're talking championship big — as the New York Knicks head into this season. He's drawing inspiration from the New York Mets, who'll battle the Kansas City Royals in the World Series. And in the Mets, Anthony says he sees similarities in how they have gone from rebuilding to competing for a championship. Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News details Anthony's vision and how the fortunes of these two Big Apple franchises relate:
It wasn't long ago that another New York sports team was selling hope over substance, building around a combination of youth and veterans while resisting the quick fix.
So can the Knicks draw inspiration from the World Series baseball team across the East River?
Carmelo Anthony thinks so.
"That's very inspiring to me, what the Mets have done this season," he said. "But that didn't start this season. That was a process. That was a build that was happening the last couple of years. To see them now kind of at the pinnacle of the sport, it's a good feeling. Even if you're not a Mets fan and you're here, it's a good feeling."
The similarities between the Knicks and Mets also extend to championship droughts (43 and 29 years, respectively), although only the Jets can claim in New York that they've tortured their fanbase longer than the Knicks.
"I don't want to say it's similar but you can see some similarities in that," Anthony said. "The way that they kind of broke everything down and kind of rebuilt piece-by-piece and all of it came together at the right time. I don't want to say we're in a similar situation, but we are. Right now we put pieces together and we have to go out there and build that."
The big difference is the Knicks won 17 games last season and finished with one of the worst records in the NBA. So they're not close to anything resembling a long playoff run, which took the Mets five years to accomplish since Sandy Alderson took over.
No. 3: Parker ready for new, reduced role for Spurs — The addition of All-Star help like LaMarcus Aldridge and the increased role of budding All-Stars like Kawhi Leonard could mean a new and reduced role for Tony Parker. And it's a role Parker is prepared to embrace at this stage of his career. Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News details the changes on the horizon for one of the Spurs' staples:
Days before the Spurs start their quest for championship No. 6, the 33-year-old Parker acknowledged his role is finally changing. No longer will he be relied to do so much on offense, instead passing that torch to Leonard and Aldridge.
"I understand my role is going to change," said Parker. "I don't need to score as much and I have to get LaMarcus and Kawhi (going). I know my role is changing, but I love it. The way that (Tim Duncan) changed towards Manu (Ginobili), and Manu changed towards me, it's the same thing with me now."
Parker echoed the words of Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, who mentioned to the Express-News how the Spurs "equal opportunity offense" will now shift towards Aldridge and Leonard. Popovich was quick to point out that Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker won't be forgotten, but things will change.
Let Parker tell it, he's fine with taking a backseat.
"The last four or five years it was my job to be aggressive and score, but this year is totally different," said Parker. "I have to be the engine in another way."
Parker has led the Spurs in scoring four of the last five seasons, before Leonard took over last season averaging 16.5 points (Parker averaged 14.4).
Asked his feelings when the offense was transitioning to Ginobili and Parker, Duncan admitted the competitor in him resisted, and still does a bit, but added his unselfishness took over.
"As an individual you got to try not to fight it," said Duncan, who is entering his 19th season. "We're all competitors and we all want to do what we've always done. You have to understand what's best for the team and I think we're all here for that. It's just about accepting that and finding your niche in your new role."
No. 4: Ibaka the most unique big man in basketball? — On a team headlined by superstars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, might Serge Ibaka be the most unique talent for the Oklahoma City Thunder this season? It's a great debate. One that Erik Horne of the Oklahoman argues in Ibaka's favor with a new and crucial season for Ibaka and the Thunder on the horizon:
Catch Ibaka at the end of Thunder practice, and you'll see the same guy who's the active leader in blocked shots per game (2.58) outshoot fellow power forward Nick Collison from beyond the arc. At 34, Collison refers to the 3-pointer as something he's tried to work on "to stay on the court" in the changing NBA.
Factor in the arrival of Billy Donovan, he of the pace and space offense and experience with the skilled big man, and the green light is even greener from 3 for the versatile Ibaka, who at 26, isn't using the 3 to stay on the court, but expand his stranglehold on it.
"I feel very comfortable with him shooting threes, even corner threes, because of the time and effort he's put into it," Donovan said. "but also he's a proven shooter – he's a really good catch-and-shoot guy and that's a unique combination for a frontcourt player in the league to have."
Donovan couldn't come up with a current or past comparison for Ibaka either, forced to look toward the future, a player who's yet to play an NBA regular season game. Donovan said Indiana Pacers rookie Myles Turner has the skill set to mimic what Ibaka does on the floor.
Good luck, young fella.
"I coached him with the USA team. He's somebody I think has a chance to maybe develop into that role," Donovan came up with after a few moments of thought. "That would be the only guy I've been around and coached in the summer who I'd say is like that."
What makes Ibaka even more of an outlier: He's been capable of this longer than his uptick in 3-point attempts has indicated. He's one of 11 players in NBA history taller than 6-foot-10 to shoot better than 35 percent from 3, 45 percent from the field and block 150 shots in a season. No big deal, except Ibaka's the only one to do it three times.
The numbers summarize what left Jackson speechless when faced with the daunting question: Is anyone like Ibaka? Jackson knows what a great shotblocker looks like. He played with 7-footer Patrick Ewing, eighth all-time in blocks but someone who kept his game inside the arc offensively in an era where bigs weren't encouraged to shoot from deep.
Last season, Ibaka attempted nearly twice the amount of threes Ewing hoisted in his entire career.
SOME RANDOM HEADLINES: Who needs training camp and the preseason anyway? Tristan Thompson is ready for the Cavaliers' season opener … Folks keep writing P.J. Tucker off in Phoenix and he keeps on grinding his way back into the mix … No one is sure what to make of the Sacramento Kings this year, which is exactly why they (DeMarcus Cousins, George Karl and Rajon Rondo in particular), are one of the truly intriguing must-see teams in the NBA this season … Serge Ibaka, the most unique big man in NBA history? … The Philadelphia 76ers don't officially start this season until Wednesday and they are already limping …
