Bitter orange is an extract from the immature green fruit of the Citrus aurantium plant, also known as Seville orange. It is sometimes used in small amounts in food as a flavorant and often used in weight-loss supplements. The terms "bitter orange," "bitter orange extract," or "Citrus aurantium" are often used interchangeably with the ingredient name "synephrine," but bitter orange (the extract from Citrus aurantium fruit) is actually a complex mixture of many compounds, including synephrine and octopamine. Although both synephrine and octopamine occur naturally in the Citrus aurantium plant, they also can be made in a laboratory.
Many safety concerns have been raised with regard to synephrine and octopamine, which are both stimulants. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) bans both of them, but the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) bans only octopamine. Bitter orange is frequently used in "ephedra-free" products since 2004, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned ephedra for its association with serious adverse cardiovascular effects. Combinations of stimulants—such as bitter orange and caffeine, commonly found together in weight-loss and bodybuilding products—can cause hypertension and increase heart rate in otherwise healthy adults. A major concern with products that list bitter orange (or synephrine, or octopamine) on the label is that the amount of stimulants in the product is sometimes very difficult—if not impossible—to determine. Service members should exercise extreme caution when considering whether to use supplements containing bitter orange.
No conclusive, peer-reviewed, scientific evidence clearly establishes that bitter orange is any safer than ephedra. For more information on bitter orange and ephedra, read the monographs in HPRC's Dietary Supplement Classification System series.
For more answers to common questions we've received about dietary supplements, please visit our Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) FAQs.
With New Year's resolutions upon us, weight loss is often at the top of the list for many. However, before you consider a dietary supplement to help your weight-loss goals, be aware of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warnings that these products don't live up to their claims. Even worse, some can result in serious harm.
Many dietary supplement products marketed for weight loss have been found to contain hidden prescription drugs or compounds that have not been adequately studied in humans. FDA continues to identify "tainted" products and warns consumers to stay away from these tainted products. You can read more about this in FDA's consumer-health article "Beware of Products Promising Miracle Weight Loss" and watch their video. Also, be sure to check out the Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) FAQs about Weight Loss for additional information on weight loss and dietary supplements.
You're watching what you eat. You're exercising regularly. You're doing everything right. But for some reason, your weight-loss goal is just out of reach. It seems those "last 10 pounds" are often the hardest ones to shake! Fortunately, with continued effort and persistence, you likely can achieve your weight-loss goals.
If you haven't done so already, be sure to speak with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian to make sure the goals you've set for yourself are realistic, healthy, and sustainable. After that, it's time to get to work.
Go back to square one. That is, make sure you're as careful about what you choose to eat now as when you first started on your weight-loss journey. Sometimes we lapse into old habits over time and start "allowing" unhealthy choices to creep back into our diet patterns. Keeping a food diary will help you keep track of what you're really eating. And don't forget to watch your portion sizes.
Be a weekend warrior. Many people find it harder to make healthy choices on the weekend—tailgate parties, family celebrations, and road trips all offer opportunities to "slip." But eating healthy is a full-time job, so it's important to plan ahead: Take a low-fat dish that you've prepared and choose restaurants where you know you'll have healthy options available.
Stand up for yourself. Literally. Standing, rather than sitting, can burn as many as 200 to 300 calories per day and can help prevent many types of disease. Find as many opportunities in your day to stand, walk, and move as much as you can. Check out HPRC's blog about "sitting disease" for more information about the risks of sitting too much.
Shake things up. Varying the type and intensity of your exercise is a great way to challenge yourself and prevent boredom—and can make a big difference toward achieving your goals.
Whatever you do, don't give up. Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is important not only in the short term (for your performance as well as your career) but also in the long term, reducing your risk of many diseases including diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.
Intermittent fasting has become a popular strategy for weight loss. "Fasting" can mean different things—from fasting as much as 16 hours per day to skipping or restricting caloric intake (for example, to less than 500–600 calories) one or two days a week. Fasting programs may make promises to their followers to lose weight and improve health, but are they safe and effective?
The health benefits claimed for intermittent fasting have mostly come from studies with animals. A few small studies with humans have shown intermittent fasting—eating as usual five days a week and eating 25% less two days per week—may be useful for weight loss. Because these studies were short term, however, the long-term safety and effectiveness of intermittent fasting are unknown.
In addition, it is unclear if intermittent fasting is more effective for weight loss than just eating less on a daily basis. Intermittent fasting could lead to overeating on non-fasting days, and even advocates of intermittent fasting point out that the key to weight-loss success is not to overeat on "normal" eating days.
Eating too few calories over time can result in low levels of vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients, and even the loss of muscle mass. And intermittent fasting can be dangerous for people with medical conditions such as pregnancy, diabetes, or eating disorders.
Common side effects of fasting include lack of energy, headaches, feeling cold, and constipation. Fasting can cause low blood sugar if you aren't getting enough fuel to your brain, reducing your ability to concentrate and focus and affecting your sleep cycle and mood. These effects can interfere with your body's ability to perform optimally.
Athletes who fast during Ramadan—a holy month when Muslims are expected to fast daily (no food or water) from pre-dawn prayer to post-sunset—provide some insights into the effects of fasting on performance. The limited intake of carbohydrates, protein, and fluid during fasting days sometimes affects their bodies' ability to recover from exercise. Some found that their cognitive performance suffered as well due to the effects of even mild dehydration and inadequate carbohydrate intake. Exercise that is both physically and mentally challenging and long-lasting could have even greater negative effects.
Intermittent fasting may be unrealistic for long-term use. Reducing your overall caloric intake and a regular exercise program are the best combination for weight loss.

There's an old adage you may have heard: "Eat after eight, put on weight." And maybe you've experienced it first-hand: You noticed that eating those late night pizzas and ice cream really packed on the pounds. But was your weight gain due to timing or just the high calorie counts? According to research in the field of circadian rhythms (CRs)—the 24-hour cycle of your body's biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns—it seems that when you eat could be just as important to weight gain as what you eat.
Deep within your brain sits a small cluster of nerve cells—a "master clock" of sorts—that's responsible for orchestrating your CRs. Each biological system in your body works on a different CR schedule, and the master clock keeps all the schedules in sync. For example, CRs influence your body's production of the hormones that regulate hunger, as well as how your body uses and stores fats and sugar, ultimately influencing your body weight, performance, and overall health. Other hormones, such as the ones that tell you when you're full, are switched on or off according to a variety of inputs.
The two greatest influences on how well your master clock is able to keep things in sync are light and food. Light tells your brain how much sleep you get (think: eyes closed, less light). Food (smell, taste, and consumption) tells your body to produce a myriad of chemicals. As a result, staying up late at night, working shifts, and eating at all hours of the day and night—whether voluntarily or due to the demands of overseas deployments, training demands, shift-work schedules, and even parenthood—can play havoc with your circadian rhythms.
In an interesting twist, not only do CRs influence hunger and body weight, but excess body fat and/or a high-fat diet may disrupt CRs. This can lead to further weight gain, culminating in a collection of health problems known as "metabolic syndrome." In the U.S., regular loss of sleep closely parallels the occurrence of metabolic syndrome. In addition, researchers have found that people who sleep less or have poor-quality sleep are more likely to become obese.
What to do? Make a conscious effort to "normalize" your daily routines as much as possible to maintain regular mealtimes. Whether you choose to eat three regular-sized meals or four to six smaller meals a day, space them out through the daylight hours to take advantage of your body's natural rhythms. Here are some suggestions to avoid eating late at night:
- Try to eat a balanced dinner at least two hours before you go to bed, and take a walk afterwards when possible.
- Sip on soothing herbal tea or flavored water (without sugar).
- Be aware that watching TV (especially food-related ads) can trigger your desire to eat.
- Sometimes it can help to create new nighttime rituals that don't involve eating, such as light stretching or yoga, taking a warm bath, listening to soothing music, or reading (or listening to) a book.
But if you find yourself up late at night—whether it's due to a hard day at work, regular shiftwork, or temporary shifts due to jet lag or an infant's night feedings—resist the urge to snack out of boredom or to "keep your energy up." Shift workers should pack or purchase a healthy meal to eat during their work hours—one that includes lean protein and complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Eat early in the shift if possible, so you'll have the energy you need to think and move efficiently. Travelers and parents should look for healthy snacks that follow a similar pattern. And try to limit coffee, tea, and other sources of caffeine to just two to four servings a day.
Of course, eating is just one half of the CR equation. Getting enough sleep is important too, so read HPRC's overview for great tips on how Warfighters can improve their sleep.

Sousa Archives and Center for American Music
Before the era of commercial radio and sound recordings had transformed how Americans listened to popular music, John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) and his civilian band captivated star-struck audiences across America. People crowded the streets and train stations in eager anticipation of a possible glimpse of the renowned band and such superstar musicians as Herbert L. Clarke, Arthur Pryor and Herman Bellstedt. However, most musicians of the Sousa Band were not as famous, and even though their contributions may not be easily remembered today, their performance in the Sousa Band was instrumental to Sousa's success as a band leader. This exhibit's historical photographs briefly explore the lives of Clarence Russell, John Van Fossen, Winifred Bambrick, John Jacob Mountz, and other members of Sousa's illustrious band.

In latest loss, Medlen's spot on shaky ground
Big hit eludes Braves as sixth inning looms large for right-hander
NEW YORK -- After moving from the bullpen to the rotation, Kris Medlen spent the final two months of the 2012 season proving to be baseball's most effective starter. One year later, it appears he could spend the season's final two months back in a relief role.
With Alex Wood and Brandon Beachy both expected to join Atlanta's rotation in the next week, Medlen entered Tuesday night's start at Citi Field knowing his days as a starter were possibly numbered. By the time he exited in the sixth inning of a 4-1 loss to the Mets, there was little reason to believe the Braves could choose to go a different route.
"I know it's been brought up," Medlen said. "I said I don't want to go to the 'pen, but I didn't say I wouldn't go to the 'pen. I think there's a difference. If they think that is where I'll be most effective to help the team win, then obviously I'm going to do that."
If Wood proves effective against the Mets on Thursday and Beachy gets through his rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday without any problems, Medlen could be making his final start for the foreseeable future on Sunday against the Cardinals.
This certainly was not envisioned when Medlen posted a 0.97 ERA during the 12 starts he made last year. But while compiling a 5.53 ERA in his past seven starts, the competitive right-hander has fallen victim to inconsistent fastball command, which began plaguing him during Spring Training.
Medlen has still posted an impressive 2.62 ERA in 32 starts dating back to July 31. But his recent struggles combined with his previous experience as a reliever has made him the most likely option to move to the bullpen if Wood and Beachy do indeed prove they are ready to serve as dependable assets in the rotation.
"I think I've had a pretty good year from last year until now," Medlen said. "I'm just in a pretty bad stretch. Hopefully the team sticks with me with that. I'm just trying to do what I can do to control the situation. I'm just trying to stay aggressive and make the adjustments."
After allowing 10 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings over his previous two outings, Medlen got off to a good start Tuesday, limiting the Mets to three hits and one run through the first five innings. But he allowed hits to four of the five batters he faced during the Mets' decisive three-run sixth inning.
After third baseman Chris Johnson prevented a run with his diving stop on Marlon Byrd's sharp grounder, Medlen hung a curveball that Ike Davis drilled for a go-ahead double. After surrendering John Buck's RBI single, Medlen exited.
Davis has hit .333 (7-for-21) with four RBIs against the Braves. The Mets first baseman, who was sent to the Minors earlier this season, has batted .162 with 16 RBIs against every other team he has opposed this year.
"It was almost two different pitchers for the first five innings, and then he went out there for the sixth," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of Medlen. "I don't know if it was command or just leaving the ball out over the plate. But the swings got better in the sixth than they were in the first five innings. So that's something we need to look at."
Medlen was perfect through the first two innings, and the only run he had surrendered entering the sixth came courtesy of the one-out RBI single Mets starting pitcher Carlos Torres sent through a drawn-in infield with one out in the third. Torres had recorded just two previous at-bats this year and a total of 15 in his career.
But it was just that kind of night for Torres, who surrendered one run and seven hits over six innings in what was just his second start of the season. The 30-year-old right-hander made an impression in the Mets' bullpen earlier this year, and now has a 0.94 ERA in 28 2/3 innings.
"I wasn't really that sharp at all today," Torres said. "I got a ton of help from the defense and a couple lucky breaks."
It looked like the Braves might have their way with Torres as they notched four hits and recorded a number of loud outs through the first two innings. But the only run they tallied came courtesy of Andrelton Simmons hitting the game's second pitch over the left-field wall for his 10th homer of the season.
After Simmons drilled his third career leadoff home run, Brian McCann drew a two-out walk to put runners at first and second. Evan Gattis followed with a sharp single that Juan Lagares fielded in shallow center before making a strong throw that denied Jason Heyward's aggressive attempt to score from second.
Chris Johnson's ground-rule double gave the Braves runners at second and third with none out in the second inning. But Torres escaped that threat unscathed when Heyward's opposite-field line drive was caught just in front of the left-field fence.
"He made some good pitches," Simmons said. "When he found himself in trouble, he made the pitches he needed. So you've got to tip your cap to him."

Mar 31, 2014Best editing in a film adaptation you will see this side of the decade. The film runs at an arduous pace, yet that is welcomed by the audience due to its gripping story. Rooney Mara is strong, rugged, yet very human as Salander.

Jan 11, 2014Impressive movie has to be on of the most challenging for daniel craig, things like this happen all the time its not a safe world and if you do get free from something like this you always remember it. Unique movie thought...
Jan 1, 2014It has moments of grimness and Rooney Mara scenes that desperate teenagers will love but The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has unbearable pacing and a scattered plot that doesn't really make sense.
Nov 1, 2013
Sep 2, 2013The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is full of twisted characters that need to be locked away from the rest of us!It`s a mystery movie that mostly takes place on an Island that feels like a cold prison for the privileged.The Main character is odd but interesting. I didn`t know much about this movie but was surprised to like it so much since it`s really not the kind of movie I normally watch.

Feb 24, 2013After a sloppy hour, where you feel like you just made a mistake by starting this movie, the plot starts to catch up and the characters start to unfold. I haven't read the book, but the plot totally hooked me, and I loved every bit of it when the movie started to progress. Rooney Mara did a superb job on portraying Lisbeth.
Feb 22, 2013
Feb 5, 2013I liked this movie. The whole investigation is so captivating and casts were great. Rooney Mara is just amazing being Lisbeth, so real and raw. I totally believed that person that she is. Plot and script were also good. Although some parts can be quite boring, but you just can't take your eyes away from Lisbeth, the girl with the dragon tattoo.
Jan 6, 2013Well, it's complicated thriller far enough! The naked cruelty limits the sensitive audience while the tightly prescribed story keeps you deep breathing.
Dec 6, 2012I loved it! I personally liked it a lot more than the Swedish version (both are brilliant films). A little long. Rooney Mara is brilliant, we'll be hearing about her in the future. The opening credits are super stylish and epic.
Nov 28, 2012Featuring an uncommonly sensational performance from Rooney Mara, David Fincher's take on "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" proves to be a cerebral, vicious and worthy addition to his repertoire overall.

Sep 24, 2012The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a really great thriller with good central performances. It has just the right amount of creepiness to give it that nerve-wrangling edge. It isn't quite perfect, however. It's overlong and has a far too many subplots (probably set ups for the sequel). That said, the meat of the movie is fantastic... It just needed a little bit more of the fat cut off.
Aug 18, 2012I've seen both the original & this remake and I have to say that although Fincher's version obviously looks better, has better production design and values and cool soundscapes by NIN they both have a very similar feel and it's probably a matter of personal taste which one you prefer. But if you have seen one you don't real need to see the other.
Aug 11, 2012
Aug 10, 2012Compelling and, at times, brutally graphic mystery that entertains and signals the arrival of Rooney Mara as a star, but runs about a half hour too long, dragging at the finish.
Aug 1, 2012
Jul 30, 2012A remake done really well that complies with the plot and understand when it is terrible violence suffered by women and when they are horrible people who violate them. Excellent photography and the dark atmosphere and dramatic film, fantastic actors especially that of Rooney Mara, who has managed to give us a wonderful interpretation of Lisbeth.
Jul 21, 2012I thought this was excellent. Being a big fan of the book and Swedish film, I was prepared to be disappointed, especially after Noomi Rapace was soo good in the original. Rooney Mara's take on Salander is different but just as good, and I was really impressed by the film. Less depth but more polished.

May 16, 2012One of david fincher's best films. Sure, at first it starts out kinda slow, but it speeds up. And once it does, it's like a punch right in the gut. Its brutal, intruiging, and captivating all at the same time. The best crime thriller i have ever seen.
Apr 24, 2012Great movie! I have not yet read the books, but I definitely did not expect the plot to be what it was. Mara Rooney was fantastic as well! I think that her role was very inspirational for women, and definitely got my adrenaline going, that's what makes a good movie-when the audience can connect with the actors through emotions and actions. Can't wait to read the books!
Apr 21, 2012
Apr 15, 2012Fincher is once again brilliant and his films still remain an event. Rooney mara's performance also is on the line of perfection. I am excited for his next film.
Apr 12, 2012I loved that some of the cast went for scandinavian lilts to their accents, and some of them didn't. She's great, but the whole thing is such obvious trash, that the director's good taste and desire for realism makes the whole thing a bummer instead of a juicy guilty pleasure. Definitely a miss, despite the craft on display.
Apr 11, 2012Engaging, intelligent, fantastic performances all round, masterfully shot and directed, David Fincher didn't put a foot wrong with this beautifully crafted thriller.

Apr 1, 2012I liked it. Solid performances by the cast. It was an interesting mystery that was nice to see unfold. I think the huge flaw of the movie is that it was a bit too long for my taste. Other than that, It was good.
Mar 29, 2012The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo es la mejor pelicula que he visto desde hace mas de un año. La actuacion de Rooney Mara es perfecta y magistral. Daniel Craig nos da otra solida demostracion de su talento y es aun mejor que la version sueca. Me encanto y aunque dura casi 3 horas me parecio intrigante y inteligente.
Mar 29, 2012Good. Love the actors and the the tone of the movie. Its has some plot issues. It can be watched but don't really let under 17 people watched as they will either be board or just freak out as is a complex story.
Mar 25, 2012
Mar 25, 2012Too much un-needed explicit sex, and rape scenes if it weren't for the gratuitous sex scenes it would have been an enjoyable movie. The plot was good, acting was good. Had to fast forward many scenes, especially the rape scene and the oral sex scene. I don't know why they choose to put the trash in this movie.

Mar 7, 2012This movie is a modern masterpiece. Incredibly well done, with amazing performances and a golden direction from David Ficher. Far superior than the swedish version in all the possible ways, and true to the book, this is what Dragon Tattoo fans were waiting for.
Mar 5, 2012
Mar 3, 2012Hopefully is the best movie of 2011, quite interesting script, two characters as different as they seems, a perfect combination as a team. Just one well done movie.

Feb 13, 2012What a bloody brilliant film.....I've not read the books or seen the Swedish versions but I was utterly transfixed from go to woe......
This is by far my film of the year thus far. -
Feb 11, 2012David Fincher did his lurid best. See this English adaptation with fresh look. Rooney Mara's Lisbeth Salander is different with Noomi Rapace's. And also the movie, although a drawback but it's different air. Not Fincher's best work but it also great in every level.
Feb 9, 2012I will tell you that I didn't read the book so I cannot make any comparison with the movie. The movie though is totally disappointing: bad acting, slow pace, annoying and totally unjustified sex scenes... Also I'm wondering why did they need to remake an already boring swedish movie with british and american actors playing swedish characters?
Feb 8, 2012This film is utterly unsatisfying.
Not even slightly entertaining, some of the performances were utterly laughable, and the script was horrifyingly bad. -

This was hands down my second favorite movie last year. Rooney, Rooney! See was flat out great. I hope she wins the Oscar for all the stuff she had to learn and for powerhouse performance that made me scared of her. Can't wait for the next two.
Jan 23, 2012
Jan 22, 2012
Jan 21, 2012I'll reiterate what others have said: this is a totally unnecessary remake of a much better Swedish film. Daniel Craig is a bore, the girl is merely adequate and this version is nowhere near as creepy as the Swedish version, which is available via streaming on Netflix. Director Fincher did much better in this genre with Se7en and Zodiac. Skip it!
Jan 21, 2012I'm one of those snobs who feels like the original Swedish version was a little better. The first half of this version felt rushed while the latter half seemed extended--drawn out for every minute it was worth. I did think the casting was superb and was glad they didn't water down the sensitive parts for the American audience. All in all a solid effort.
Jan 20, 2012
Jan 18, 2012David Fincher never fails me, even including the underwhelming THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON (2008) (which I think I seriously need a re-watch), the American remake of THWTDT is as excellent as its Swedish archetype if not excels in every aspect. Karen Oâ
Jan 15, 2012Well, I can't help comparing it to the sweedish version which I loved. I loved the first half of this one betterr but. Was just not as satisfied at the end I was confused with the last half hour, I need to see it again. Over all great movie and definetly worth seeing. Extremlygraphic and disturbing at times...be prepared.
Jan 14, 2012The question is, would you rather watch an excellent David Fincher film or have the world's most passionate feminist scream in your face and then punch you in the stomach? You can have both here without the physical pain of course, but you better have something soft and warm to hug by the time the credits appear.
Jan 14, 2012I was really disappointed by Fincher's remake. It pales in comparison to the Swedish version. I guess it would be acceptable if you haven't already been spoiled by the superiority of the original.
Jan 14, 2012Woefully miscast, Daniel Craig is way too cool and confident for the character part and is one of the main negatives. The other is that the movie attempts to differentiate itself from the original mainly with a faster pace .. which is the general reason US movies suck when compared to European counterparts.
Jan 13, 2012Although a negligible amount of minutes longer than the Swedish version, it has so many extra parts that are totally not necessary and detract from the main aspects of the film. I found the final act particularly dragging. The film was also too glossy for such a gritty story. That said, it is still a decent film due to the source material and overall good acting

Jan 11, 2012I don't think this is as good as the original Swedish version but it is not a bad remake. The problem for me was that once you've seen Noomi Rapace in the role of Lisbeth Salander you realize that her performance just cannot be improved upon.
Incidentally I thought Apple products were a little bit too prominent in that movie and I say this as an Apple user myself. -
Jan 11, 2012Not nearly as dark as Id hoped, but a really great movie regardless. I can't wait to read the novel, which as always I hear is better. Someone said this is a remake of a foreign film; I saw this one on a lark with a friend the other day - had no idea!
Has much to recommend it - high-end craftsmanship, a singular heroine, a labyrinthine mystery, an intriguing milieu - yet lacks a vital spark.
David Fincher's American remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo adds nothing to the previous adaptation, but it's certainly the more evocative piece of filmmaking.
From him (Fincher), we get – what? – a faithful adaptation that brings the dazzle but shortchanges on the daring.

Ingredients by
Classic Sponge Cake
This is where it all begins: what I am aiming to do here is get you started on cake making. One you have mastered the art of the classic sponge cake you can then move on to all the variations and never look back. The best bit is that from now on you are going to know just how easy it is.
Ingredients |
115g self-raising flour |
1 level teaspoon baking powder |
115g spreadable butter |
115g golden caster sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
To finish: |
Preserves, etc (see end of method) |
icing sugar for dusting |
Pre-heat the oven to 170C, gas mark 3 |
Oven temperatures and Conversions |
Click here for information |
Equipment |
Equipment: Two Delia Online 18cm by 4cm sponge tins, lightly buttered and bases lined, plus two wire cooling trays |
This recipe is from Delia's Cakes
All you do is sift the flour and baking powder into a roomy mixing bowl, lifting the sieve quite high to give the flour a good airing as it goes down, then simply add all the other ingredients.
Now, using an electric hand whisk, combine them for about 1 minute until you have a smooth creamy consistency.
Next divide the mixture between the two prepared tins, level off using the back of a tablespoon, and bake near the centre of the oven for about 25 minutes. The cakes are cooked when you press lightly with your little finger and the centre springs back.
Remove them from the oven and after about 30 seconds loosen the edges by sliding a palette knife all round them out onto a wire cooling tray.
Now carefully peel back the lining by gently pulling it back. Lightly place the other cooling tray on top and just flip them bother over so that the tops are facing upwards (this is to prevent them sticking to the tray).
When cooled, sandwich them together with any sort of preserve or lemon curd, with or without fresh whipped cream (in the summer, fresh berries and cream make a superb filling).
For a final flourish, dust the whole cake generously with icing sugar.
Store in a tin, or if you are using cream, in a polythene box in the fridge.

And the most uninteresting and irrelevant graphic chip.
It doesn't matter if they're using OpenGL or directx. Only performance matters in this case. However, to see really fair benchmarks we probably have to wait for TF2 benchmarks running on nvidia hardware. Btw. I wonder how much $$ Phoronix gets from sponsored titles by craple and m$?
The increase in frame rate for Nexuiz looks like MSAA was turned off rather than a performance improvement - I don't know for sure. The change in performance does match earlier benchmarks for when MSAA was not implemented in mesa to when it was in an earlier article: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...sa91_ivb&num=2.
It would be good to have some sort of flag <in> the benchmarks showing whether MSAA is enabled/used so that we're not confusing performance regressions with MSAA being enabled and performance improvements with it being disabled. Or having it always disabled all together.
It's quite possible Linux/Open Source Intel drivers will never reach the performance level of Windows drivers, because the latter are close source, thus Intel can secretly cheat in Windows but they cannot cheat in Linux, 'cause their secrets/hacks/subterfuges will be instantly unearthed by their competitors and journalists.
I've thought this myself.
I do think another test to replace either Xonotic or Nexuiz would've been nice, since in the end we're basically looking at only 2 benchmarks. But, I'm sure Michael will post more tests.
I would say that Ubuntu with Unity used to be the best baseline for measuring linux performance since it was the most popular and therefore the standard (whether we like it or not), but it isn't the most popular distro anymore so I'd say Mint should be the main distro to comparisons with. I guess the only problem with Mint is I'm not aware of it supporting anything other than Cinnamon and XFCE, though I haven't taken a look at it in maybe 3 years so it's hard to tell.
As for people whining about tests not used with your personal preferred game - keep in mind Michael is doing tests that his benchmark suite comes with. I highly doubt he's licensed to add whatever the hell he wants to it.
People start thinking for a moment..
1) Valve DO NOT ALLOW for benchmarks of Steam nor games on Steam for Linux... RTFE(ULA). Its beta. So no nice TF2 benchmarks in near future...
2) Valve support UBUNTU, in STOCK configuration. Benchmarking stock Ubu vs stock Win8 make sense.
3) Installing another DE/tweaking Unity/Compiz is easy, so people wanting to get most perf will do it. But general benchmarks should be useful for general audience :P
4) You can rerun those tests on your configurations, and upload to openbenchmarking.org Show the results, instead of molesting poor keyboards ;)

Vocalpoint wrote:Probably easier (and less time consuming) to just get a bigger hard drive than waiting for this obscure format to be given consideration.
FLAC is an excellent archive format for projects and it's great for music playback - but for real work - I would rather just stay uncompressed (wav).
Drives are way too cheap

Special Olympics France is preparing to launch a Young Athletes Pilot Project to take place on January 14th at La Roseraie, Paris. The launch will include a demonstration by 16-18 young Special Olympics athletes between the ages of four and seven and is expected to be well attended by those involved in the disability field in France as well as Russian philanthropist and model Natalia Vodianova.
The children and staff have been training since October in preparation for the demonstration. The event will be used to showcase the Young Athletes programme and to make plans for it's implementation in the other regions of France.
"The children have been training for the last two months and have been responding very well to the range of activities. The launch of the programme at La Roseraie will be a wonderful occasion to bring the families and community together." Christophe Boissard, Programme Coordinator, SO France.

The Young Athletes programme is to begin in the new region of Sandwell in Great Britain. The new group which will also serve the West Midlands, will provide a structured play programme for children aged 2-7 with intellectual disabilities. The children involved in the programme are part of the Ups and Downs group which provides support and education to families and individuals with Down syndrome. This week the group including parents, volunteers and children got together at Portway Leisure Centre to learn more about the programme. The details of the programme were presented by Mo Clarke, Young Athletes coordinator from Special Olympics Europe Eurasia, followed by a practical session led by Dr. Niamh Reilly from the University of Derby. Group leader Norma Freeman is very excited to begin: " It will be wonderful to bring this amazing programme to the Sandwell & West Midlands area and we are very eager to get started. The programme will provide a consistent training programme for the children in a fun-filled environment". The project which will begin in the New Year has been kindly supported by Mattel Children's Foundation.
YA Family Summer Camp which took place on 13 - 15 September in Palanga, Lithuania.
Special Olympics Lithuania began the Young Athletes (YA) programme in December 2012 thanks to funding from the Samuel Family Foundation. It began initially in kindergarten schools in the cities of Kaunus and Vilnius. This pilot project took place over 12 months and in that time they registered 150 new young athletes, exceeding their original target of 50. The project also involved 50 new family members.
In March and April 2013 Young Athletes coordinator Ausra Kriskovieciene and Sports Director Dovile Sertvytiene organised a conference in the new regions of Utena and Panevezys where they presented the YA programme to kindergartens, physiotherapists, educators and physical education teachers who work with people with intellectual disabilities.
To sustain the programme, Ausra began approaching potential sponsors and partners to seek support for the programme going forward. By April 2013 they had successfully secured two partnerships. The first partnership was with sports equipment suppliers UAB Gudragalvis who will provide discounted YA equipment. The Lithuanian Regional Department of Education formed the second partnership with Special Olympics Lithuania and resulted in presentations of the YA programme to regional education centres throughout the country.
As the new school year began in September this year, the YA programme was implemented in 20 new schools and institutions across Lithuania. This progress in such a small space of time is a remarkable achievement for Special Olympics Lithuania and is a true reflection of their hard work and commitment to the Young Athletes programme.
Young Athletes demonstration in Bucharest
Congratulations to Special Olympics Romania on the completion of their Young Athletes (YA) programme research study. Funding from the Samuel Family Foundation supported the project which was carried out in collaboration with the National University Of Physical Education and Sports in Bucharest.
Young Athletes & Family coordinator Roxana Ossian along with professor Aura Bota from the University attended a seminar in Washington DC in October 2012 which focussed on research and evaluation of the Young Athletes programme.
Initial evaluation took place at the university in early February involving 32 children aged 2-7. The level of YA abilities were recorded, to be compared with results at the end of the project. Teachers, students, physical educations teachers, psychologists and parents were all involved in the study. The specific YA training took place over three and a half months in four different regions in Romania. A special focus was made on the importance of regular attendance at the training sessions.
Presentations about the Young Athletes and Family Support Network programmes were given to parents of the Young Athletes. They received detailed information on how to organise YA trainings and how to use the equipment at home. They were also shown how to adapt the exercises from the lesson plans according to the level of the children's abilities.
Final evaluation was carried out at the university in early June. The children involved in the study had shown a significant increase in motor and cognitive development compared to the initial testing in February. Test results were gathered and submitted to the University Of Boston, Massachusetts where they will be combined with results from our other regions. Detailed results and evaluation will be published next year.

Jozef Kwiotek will be deeply missed by all at Special Olympics.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Jozef Kwiotek, Family Programme leader for Special Olympics Poland. Jozef passed away earlier this month on Monday 11th of February following a short battle with cancer. Jozef had amazing optimism, inner strength and life wisdom; he will be missed very much.
Jozef was involved with Special Olympics Poland for over 20 years and was a wonderful ambassador for the movement. He was the true "heart" of the family programme, always happy and ready to help others in any way he could.
This will be a huge loss for Special Olympics and for all who knew him. He is survived by his wife Grazyna and sons Slawek and Mariusz.
Rest in Peace Jozef.

CAIRO — Tens of thousands of supporters of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood massed in main squares in several cities on Friday, waving pictures of Mohammed Morsi and chanting that the head of the military is a "traitor," stepping up denunciations of the army over its removal of the country's first freely elected president.
Islamists are trying to escalate their campaign of street rallies aimed at forcing the reinstitution of Morsi. At the same time, the new military-backed administration has intensified its crackdown on the leadership of Morsi's Brotherhood, starting criminal investigations against Morsi and issuing arrest warrants on a host of others.
At the main Islamist rally in Cairo, the crowd poured into a large boulevard in front of a main mosque where Morsi supporters have been camped out for two weeks. During the day, the crowd appeared smaller than in previous days, though it was expected to pick up after sunset and the end of the daily fast of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
"We are ready to stay for a month, two months, a year or even two years," an ultraconservative Salafi cleric, Safwat Hegazi, told protesters from a state set up in front of the Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque. "Some women proposed to bring ovens to bake sweets for the Eid," he said, referring to the festive holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, just under four weeks from now.
During Ramadan, which began Wednesday, Muslims abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset, which usually cuts down on activity during the day – particularly outdoors in warm summer temperatures.
Some in the square stayed in tents during the day Friday, sleeping or reading the Quran. Islamists also held rallies in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria and several other cities.
Despite the vows to continue until Morsi is back in the palace, the Brotherhood and other Islamists face the question of how to step up their campaign at a time when the new administration is pushing ahead quickly with its transition plans, in part to create a reality and force isolate the Brotherhood by showing the country is moving toward democracy. At the same time, authorities are pulling out multiple allegations aimed at showing Morsi's supporters are linked to violence and militancy.
On Friday, some protesters marched from Rabaa al-Adawiya toward the Republican Guard headquarters, where on Monday troops killed more than 50 Morsi supporters in clashes at an Islamist sit-in. The military says the Islamists sparked the clashes by shooting at troops, though the protesters say the troops attacked them without provocation.
A number of Brotherhood leaders with arrest warrants against them are permanently staying at a medical center connected to the Rabaa al-Adawiya, Brotherhood spokesman Ahmed Aref told The Associated Press, though he underlined that they are not hiding from arrest. Among them are Mohammed el-Beltagy, a leadership figure, and the deputy head of the Brotherhood's political party Essam el-Erian -- though Aref said the Brotherhood's spiritual leader, Mohammed Badie, is not at the site. Aref said he did not know where Badie was.
Morsi has been held in an undisclosed military facility since the coup against him on July 3, sparked after four days of massive protests by millions nationwide demanding his removal. Five other Brotherhood leaders are also in detention on various charges, and 10 others -- including Badie --have arrest warrants against them on accusations of triggering clashes on Monday. More than 50 of Morsi's supporters were killed in those clashes, outside a headquarters of the Republican Guards.
Gehad Haddad, the group's spokesman, said in a message posted on his Twitter account that those in detention are "denied visitation, or delivery of clothes, food. All held in solitary confinement."
On Friday, Germany Foreign Ministry called for Morsi's release and end to "all restrictive measures considering Morsi" and giving access to an organization such as the International Red Cross to visit the deposed leader.
A day earlier, prosecutors said they will investigate allegations that Morsi and 30 others Brotherhood leaders escaped from prison during the 2011 revolution with help from the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Anger at the military was rife at Friday's rallies. Protesters carried posters depicting army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi with blood coming out of his mouth and emblazoned with "traitor." Some banners appeared to be addressing foreign media, with English slogans like, "legitimacy is a red line" -- underlining that Morsi is the country's legitimate president.
"This is a coup," said a 20-year-old Ahmed Ismail. "We are going back 100 years to a police state and if we shut up now we won't have any voice in the future," he added.
Mostafa Youssef, 27-year-old-cleric described the military-backed interim President Adly Mansour and his administration as "puppets while the real power is in the hand of the Supreme Council of Armed Forces. Civilians are just a facade."
Protesters in helmets and home-made body shields and sticks, formed human chains guarding the square, with some self-searching visitors.
