Alfalla retakes points lead on last-lap pass at Michigan
Ray Alfalla ( Slip Angle Motorsports ) captured his second victory of the 2016 NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series by passing Brad Davies off Turn 4 on the final lap at Michigan International Speedway on Tuesday evening. The finish marked the second-straight race that has been decided by a last-lap pass for the lead, although unlike one race earlier at Watkins Glen, there was no contact or controversy after the Michigan thriller. Davies played a good strategy to take the lead during the last round of pit stops and held the top spot for 20 laps due to repeated crashes and yellow flags. Alfalla had the better car and was on fresher tires, but never got a long enough run to challenge for the lead. His chance finally came on the final restart with two laps to the flag. When the green flew, Davies got a good jump on Alfalla, but the two-time series champion had closed up to the leader's bumper as the pair took the white flag. Alfalla was not close enough entering Turn One so instead of charging in over his head he was patient, backed up the corner, and got a great run on exit. Alfalla closed quickly down the backstretch and dove to the bottom entering Turn 3 as Davies protected the top. His fresh tires were too much for Davies as Alfalla passed uncontested off Turn 4 and took the checkered flag .05 of a second in the clear. Logan Clampitt ( High Performance Motorsports ) came home third, combining a solid pit strategy with a fast car and steady driving. Justin Bolton ( The TEAM ) was fourth, ahead of Andrew Fayash in his first top-five result. Alfalla started on pole and had the fastest car for much of the race but only led 46 of 125 laps, largely due to pit strategy. Instead of changing two tires and losing position on a subsequent long run, Alfalla opted for four fresh tires each time down pit road. This decision meant he had to fight through traffic on several occasions, but Alfalla used his experience to cleanly and effectively move through the field. During the middle segment of the race the field strung out and allowed some differing strategies to develop. Some sim racers chose a three-stop strategy in hopes fresh tires would make up for the extra trip down pit road, while others opted for a two-stop strategy. Alfalla chose the two-stop strategy and was helped out by a timely yellow flag on Lap 81 just before he was going to make his final pit stop. All but one car on the three-stop strategy also chose to pit, allowing Alfalla to keep nearly all of his track position, which put himself in prime position to win the race. From there, the race turned into a series of short sprints broken up by frequent caution flags. Seven of the nine cautions flew in the last 45 laps, making track position more important than a typical Michigan race. The win vaulted Alfalla back into the championship lead with three races remaining in the season. He now enjoys a 15-point advantage over PJ Stergios ( ineX Racing Team ) after Stergios struggled to a 14th-place finish at MIS. PJ's brother, Jake, is still hanging onto third, but his margin over Chris Overland shrunk to just four points after a Tuesday's disappointing 31st-place result. Dylan Duval is fifth, but is only seven points clear of Kenny Humpe after finishing 35th at Michigan. Only three weeks remain in the 2016 NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze season, and Darlington Raceway looms large as the next race on the schedule. Widely considered to be the toughest oval on the circuit, Darlington requires impeccable car control and patience to succeed. For Alfalla and Stergios, the goal is simple: get out front and stay there, away from potential carnage that can be common farther back in the field. Can Stergios close the gap on Alfalla, or is Alfalla primed to edge closer to his third world championship?

Cain: No need to panic about struggling Hendrick
Who's panicking? Not the Hendrick Motorsports team, as some have suggested. Working overtime, brainstorming, gritting their teeth and rolling up their sleeves? Perhaps. But this organization -- which hasn't celebrated a victory since March -- knows a little something about challenging for NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series championships, and it would be naïve and foolhardy to believe the team's summer doldrums are a definitive sign of playoff potential. At least that's what history has shown us. And what Jimmie Johnson tells us. And what team owner Rick Hendrick has assured. "A lot of hard work went on during the break that we had," Johnson said last weekend at Bristol, Tennessee. "Just judging by the excitement from (crew chief) Chad (Knaus) and all the way through to Mr. Hendrick, we're definitely turning over some stones and are hopeful to bring a little better product to the race track week in and week out. "We've been struggling at times, trying to produce speed and lap times of late and making mistakes in the process. We're still rallying with some decent finishes from time to time, but then again, still having some bad luck. I think Watkins Glen kind of speaks to that as well; and also self-inflicted mistakes. "I think come Chase time, in the middle of the Chase, the way things are looking back at the shop, and the excitement I see in all the departments, we're expecting a good late-season surge for Hendrick Motorsports ." Labor Day -- which traditionally marks the end of summer -- can't come soon enough for this team. Johnson is the only member of this Fab Four lineup to hoist a trophy this season, and the six-time champ did it twice right off the bat -- winning the second race of the year at Atlanta, then three weeks later in California. Chase Elliott opened his rookie campaign with 11 top-10 finishes in the first 15 races, including pole positions for the Daytona 500 and at Talladega Superspeedway . And he capped off that season-starting run with a career-best runner-up at Michigan International Speedway -- where the series returns this weekend. Kasey Kahne is also seeking his first trophy of the year, but already has six top 10s -- more than halfway to his entire total (10) from last year. And he has won at both Michigan (2006 from the pole position) and at Richmond, Virginia (2005), where the Chase field will be formally set on Sept. 10. As the Chase Grid stands now, Kahne is tied with Kyle Larson , three positions shy of qualifying. They trail 16th-place Ryan Newman by 39 points. With Dale Earnhardt Jr .'s return still unknown as he recovers from concussion-like symptoms, the feared Hendrick foursome realizes it is a threesome come title time. But it remains a championship threat. "Our guys have been working really hard these past few weeks," said Elliott, who is Chase-eligible by being ranked 12th in the standings. "Everybody is fired up at Hendrick Motorsports . Mr. Hendrick himself is fired up -- he has been around the shop a lot. We are all just trying to give it the best effort we can to try and make the most of these next 14 weeks. "We are all working hard, we are all in. Hopefully, Michigan will be a step in the right direction." In the past -- such as during Johnson's jaw-dropping six title runs in eight years – this team has made it look almost too easy. So Toyota has stepped it up, winning its first Cup championship last year with Kyle Busch and collecting 11 trophies already this year. Ford's been every bit a player, as well, with Team Penske drivers -- Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano -- earning enough trophies (five) between the two of them to keep the others honest this season. And Hendrick's Chevy "alliance" partner, the Stewart-Haas Racing team, has certainly come to the party with at least three Chase entrants including 2014 Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick , who won his second race Sunday at Bristol and leads the championship standings; team owner Tony Stewart , who won at Sonoma , California; and Kurt Busch , who is ranked third in points. And while Johnson's two wins and Elliott's poles seem like it's business as usual, there is a new sense of urgency to right the Hendrick ship heading into the Chase. Johnson has the two wins, but he has only three top 10s in the last 14 races, a stretch that also includes four finishes of 30th or worse. Similarly, Elliott hasn't had a top-10 since his runner-up at Michigan. And Kahne has only one top 10 in that time. "We have been struggling this year, have not been as good as we want or should be," Hendrick said over the weekend while admitting he's even gotten up at 4:30 am to go to the wind tunnel with his team. "We know we have the ingredients and we're not satisfied, and we're going to do whatever it takes. That's been our motto all these years. We're at, what, 242 wins in Cup series? And we're not done. "Nobody's satisfied. We've wrecked more cars. … Haven't led races like we usually do. Not making any excuses, we've got to get to work. That's the deal. We're all committed and we're all excited. Nobody stays on top forever but we're not happy where we are and we want to get back." "I'm accountable," Hendrick continued. "They're accountable. "When you're not doing well, you can walk away and point fingers or you can jump in it and say, 'Let's get with it. We know how to do it. Let's get better working together.' "I'm proud of our company and we're going to be better. I like the challenge."
Brad Keselowski captures first Daytona victory
RELATED: Full race results " Standings SHOP: Winner gear DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Brad Keselowski had an excellent solution for the massive wrecks that scrambled the finishing order of Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway . He stayed ahead of all of them. Leading 115 of 161 laps in the No. 2 Team Penske Ford, Keselowski sped away from his pursuers after a restart in overtime and posted his third victory of the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season in thoroughly convincing fashion. The victory was Keselowski's first at Daytona and the 20th of his career, and it reinforced his mastery of restrictor-plate racing -- Keselowski already had four wins at sister track Talladega. When the race restarted in overtime, after a caution for a four-car wreck on Lap 155, eventual runner-up Kyle Busch simply couldn't keep up with Keselowski, once he lost his push from third-place finisher Trevor Bayne . Keselowski's teammate, fourth-place finisher Joey Logano , shoved the No. 2 car to the front on the Lap 160 restart, and then it was over. " Joey Logano was a huge part of this today," Keselowski said. "We had two great cars here with Team Penske and worked together really well. Joey has won here and he's really a pro, especially on that restart. "He gave me that push I needed to get to the front, and here we are at Daytona in Victory Lane. I don't care if it's not the 500. It's Daytona. This is huge. I love this place, and here we are in Victory Lane with the Detroit Ford." That there were 27 lead changes between 13 drivers belied Keselowski's dominance. While in the lead, the 2012 series champion was able to block both the inside and outside lanes, moving back and forth at will to impede the progress of whichever line developed momentum. With a daring move to the inside of race runner-up Kyle Busch on Lap 145, Keselowski took the lead for good and held it through two subsequent cautions for multi-car wrecks. The first wiped out Sonoma winner Tony Stewart , who was running in the top 10 at the time. The second was the coup de grace for Carl Edwards , who had qualified second but finished 25th. Busch, who tried in vain to regain the top spot, could only admire the handling of Keselowski's Ford. "He definitely just had way more maneuverability it seemed like than anybody, but especially than I did," Busch said. "I don't know how he got the kind of run that he got (to make the decisive pass), but when he got that run down the front stretch getting into Turn 1 and was able to turn to the bottom, my car would be kind of loose doing that. "It would just over rotate on me a little bit, and I just never really had that opportunity from behind me besides Trevor, and I never was in the right position when I had that big of a run in order to get the lead back. "Really, it took a lot of guys ganging up and getting together in order to make a move on him. He was pretty smart about where he positioned his car on the race track, and I could see that, and I tried to do some of those same things, but, man, it just never really worked for me as good as he could handle it." The race ran without major incident for the first 89 laps, with a competition caution on Lap 21 and a black flag to Danica Patrick for driving through too many pit boxes on a Lap 67 green-flag pit stop first providing the bulk of the excitement. But that was the calm before a violent storm. As the field roared into Turn 1 on Lap 90, Jamie McMurray 's Chevrolet got loose, made side-to-side contact with Ganassi Racing teammate Kyle Larson , got out of shape and veered sharply into the outside wall after contact from Jimmie Johnson 's Chevrolet. That was the spark that ignited a wreck that collected 22 of the 40 cars in the field and eliminated McMurray, Johnson, Paul Menard and series leader Kevin Harvick , while heavily damaging the cars of Sunoco Rookie of the Year leader Chase Elliott , Martin Truex Jr ., Matt Kenseth and Patrick, among others. Harvick said he was expecting the powder keg that is restrictor-plate racing to explode at any minute -- and on Lap 90 it did. "You really think it's going to happen from Lap 1," said Harvick, who now leads the Cup series by 14 points over Keselowski. "It's hard to make ground, so you have to be pretty aggressive when you start making ground. "Just kind of riding there, just maintaining until that next pit stop so we could get my car off the ground and then really start being aggressive. I really couldn't be aggressive, and unfortunately, I was in the back of that front pack and ended up getting in the wreck." But Keselowski was ahead of the wreck, as he was throughout the night, and in staying at the front he earned owner Roger Penske his 100th victory in the series.

Austin Dillon wins in overtime finish at Bristol
RELATED: Full race results " Series standings " Chase Grid BRISTOL, Tenn. -- A remarkable chain of circumstances gave Austin Dillon the chance to win Friday night's Food City 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway . Dillon took full advantage, completing two harrowing overtime laps to edge surprise runner-up Justin Allgaier in a race that went eight laps beyond the scheduled distance at the ultra-fast .533-mile concrete short track. Dillon didn't take the top spot until Lap 305 of 308, when Brad Keselowski 's No. 22 Ford ran out of fuel while leading under the eighth and final caution of the evening. Driving a No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet that slipped noticeably in Turn 3 on the white-flag lap -- just after crossing the overtime line at the entrance to the corner -- Dillon nevertheless held off Allgaier, third-place finisher Kyle Larson and fourth-place Elliott Sadler , who swapped positions behind the winner on the two overtime laps. Dillon crossed the finish line .227 seconds ahead of Allgaier, who won a drag race against Larson off the final corner. And in Victory Lane, Dillon stayed busy counting his blessings, not the least of which was a shout-out to fiancée Whitney Ward, who recently accepted Dillon's marriage proposal. "It was just a war of attrition," said Dillon, whose new crew chief, Justin Alexander, got his first victory. "We had a pretty good car -- maybe not the fastest car -- but the car that won. I made a mistake in (Turn) 3 coming to the white, but, luckily, everybody else got loose… "It was just a war of attrition, and we did what we had to do to win." Keselowski's empty fuel tank was simply the last domino in a sequence of events that put Dillon in position to win for the first time at Bristol -- or on any short track for that matter -- the second time this season and the eighth time in his career. On Lap 243, pole winner Erik Jones spun Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Daniel Suarez in Turn 3, triggering a six-car wreck that sent both Jones and Suarez to the garage. "I just made a mistake," Jones said ruefully. "I basically turned the 19 (Suarez). It's unfortunate. I feel bad for Daniel and I feel bad for this team and my guys. The (car) was really good, and it deserved a good finish and was probably good enough to win. "I just threw it away on that restart and tried to make too much happen too quick. Just trying to get back in line behind them before the others got there, and I wasn't clear. Just mad at myself." The pivotal wreck that followed was even more dramatic. Keselowski and Kyle Busch were fighting for the lead on Lap 296 when Busch tried a pass in the lower lane and slid his No. 18 Toyota up the track in front of Keselowski's Mustang. Unwilling to surrender the position, Keselowski maintained his momentum off the corner, clipped the right rear of Busch's Camry and sent both cars into the outside wall. Keselowski was able to continue, but Busch blew a tire and shot up into the outside wall in Turns 3 and 4, collecting Ty Dillon , younger brother of the race winner, who was running behind -- and who had led briefly after a restart on Lap 287. "Kyle is, of course, real good at this track, and he was quite a bit faster," Keselowski said. "I was just trying to hold him off anyway I could. He got a good run on the bottom, and the bottom groove was just a little bit faster in (Turns) 1 and 2 than it was in 3 and 4. He knew that and made a really smart move and got up next to me, but I had a big run on exit and he wasn't quite clear. "I knew he needed to come up because 3 and 4, like I said, the bottom groove wasn't as good. He knew he needed to come up and there just wasn't enough room. I was already there and it clipped him in the right rear. I don't really know what happened from there, but it was tough. We were battling really hard and definitely didn't want to see it end that way." When the race went past its posted distance and Keselowski had issues picking up fuel under the yellow, that left Dillon to hold off Larson, who had led 200 laps at that point. With advice from his grandfather and team owner, Richard Childress, Dillon picked the outside lane for the final restart and pulled out a victory that would have seemed an unlikely outcome just 50 laps earlier. </p>
Multicar melee snaps Kurt Busch streak, thins Bristol field
RELATED: Full race results A late-race battle for the lead transformed into an 11-car melee in Sunday's rain-plagued NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway , ending Kurt Busch 's historic streak of lead-lap finishes at 22. Busch was battling for the lead just after a Lap 372 restart when his Stewart-Haas Racing No. 41 Chevrolet pitched loose out of Turn 2 on the .533-mile track. His car collected Brad Keselowski 's Team Penske No. 2 Ford, sending the front-runners scrambling behind them. Austin Dillon , Matt Kenseth , Ryan Blaney , Joey Logano , Chase Elliott , Paul Menard , Kyle Larson , Brian Scott and Jimmie Johnson were the other drivers listed as involved in the ninth caution period of the rain-delayed Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race. Of those, Dillon, Logano and Johnson drove away with only minor damage to salvage top-10 finishes. Busch wound up completing 372 of the 500 laps Sunday, sidelined by a DNF for the first time this season. He said that he misjudged the sticky rosin applied to the low side of the turns, triggering the pile-up. "I think I just missed the bottom groove by a few inches, got loose and the wreck was on," said Busch, who ended up in 38th place. "The way that our car was restarting it felt comfortable, it felt good. That inside with the rosin and the VHT (traction compound) if you don't hit it exactly right, you lose a lot of time. I tried to make up for it and got loose. I feel really bad for the Monster Energy guys. We had a win in our sights and I just drove the car at 101 percent instead of that 99." Keselowski, who finished 33rd, said he had little room to escape. "He got loose and by the time I saw it, I was already making contact with him," Keselowski said. "It was kind of one of those Bristol things. I hate it because we were making improvements on the car and we had gotten up to third there and the race was kind of coming to us." Kenseth, a four-time winner at Bristol, now has three consecutive finishes at the .533-mile track of 35th or worse. His Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota was nudged into a spin by Elliott then sideswiped by fellow rookie Blaney. "I didn't really see what happened except for there were cars wrecking up there and I slowed down as much as the guy in front of me," Kenseth said. "I couldn't slow down any less than that or I would hit him. Chase busted out of nowhere, ran me over and the 21 (Blaney) came through there wide open -- I still don't know if he's lifted yet or not -- and finished us off. As the wreck happened, you've got to slow down. Just not much I could do."
Bristol adds rosin to track before Sprint Cup night race
RELATED: Key story lines for Bristol night race BRISTOL, Tenn. -- NASCAR officials applied 18 more inches of rosin to each of the four corners on the bottom groove after Friday night's XFINITY Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway . A sticky substance that allows drivers to stick and run both the top and bottom grooves, rosin was applied to the track in the same manner on Thursday night prior to Friday's XFINITY Series race.

Drivers such as Friday night's XFINITY winner Austin Dillon supported the addition of more rosin. "It's interesting to have another lane down there on the bottom," said Dillon, who will also be running Saturday night's Sprint Cup race. "Hopefully they can add a little more (rosin) to the bottom and get that bottom lane just to stay a little bit longer."

Welcome to Thirsty Thursday, where we feature a recently enjoyed cocktail and make suggestions on what romances would pair well with it. This week I'm featuring a Grapefruit Fresca.

This cocktail is made up of Zu Bison grass vodka, Giffard grapefruit, lemon juice, and simple syrup. It's tart, and delicious. It's the … [Read more...]
Beauty Review: Elta MD Skincare Facial Sunscreen
Why I Love This Mineral Sunscreen Elta MD UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41 Sunscreen goes on smooth and blends well. It has mineral sunscreens: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for UVA and UVA protection. This means it protects against the rays that burn and cause premature aging. It's a light formula, fragrance-free and it's great for very sensitive skin. I prefer mineral sunscreen for my face as opposed to chemical sunscreen. I'm constantly on the lookout for a mineral sunscreen that can be … [Read more...]

French Kicks' Josh Wise Working on New Project, Needs Your Money to Finish It
Everyone knows how difficult it is to raise the funds for a musical project you want to start. Josh Wise, a member of Brooklyn's French Kicks, is working on a multi-faceted solo project.
It's ambitious. It involves limited-edition LPs, a video project, paintings, and live shows. The problem is, even though he's in a trendy New York band, he doesn't have the dough to finish the project.
Given that this is a problem nearly all musicians face at some point, you probably either have sympathy for this guy or loathe the way he's begging for cash to press limited-edition vinyl. Maybe a little of both.
Personally, I have a soft spot for Wise, and think it'd be really cool to see this project play out in its entirety. I often say that he's like a "musical lozenge" because I find his voice and his work to be quite soothing. So I'm in his corner.

A friend of mine turned me on to a site called Kickstarter, which allows artists to put up a description of a project, and allows fans to contribute to the cause, so I now know how I can help. If you contribute to Wise's project, the contribution acts as a pre-order of the record or DVD, and your funds also help finance the artwork. Check out the site and you may find your lozenges need funding too.

Bitter over lack of endorsement bonanza, Olympic Curling champion switches to bowling.
Montreal, Canada - Stephan Broshears, Canadian Olympic Gold Medalist, has received accolades from around the world but has not yet received a penny in endorsement royalties. Thirty-six year old Broshears, who spoke to DerfMagazine from the basement of his parents' house where he still lives, said "Don't kid yourself. Curling is not as popular in Canada as they've been saying. Canadians would way rather go bowling." In the meantime, Broshears plans to continue managing his website, BowlingIsLessLameThanCurling.com

This is a well written story, but this would NEVER happen in the world of Danny Phantom. Could you base it around something else? Please, next time be true to the characters. I felt like I didn't even know them. Sam is always the voice of reason, so she would never hurt herself. Danny would NOT have those kinds of thoughts about her since they were just friends for a long time, and Danny often liked other girls. Also, Danny has a knack of keeping things locked up, so all these mood swings would be out of character. If you want to write about something dark, write about Danny's dark side, or about a villain attacking Danny. There is plenty to work with without changing the character's personalities.

Spontaneous praise aside, I have one little quirky thing that I have to add. Why is it, that you DP fanauthors always love to make it so Danny is easily aroused? I don't have a problem with that, I think "seme" guys are funny but... my point is, it's a quirk, and I have to point out quirks. _

Sam doesn't seem like the type to angst over anything- she's too aware that things in other places are way worse.

Great prices and great specials on their menu. The meat wasn't as smoky as we'd hoped. I love good BBQ, and this was good, but not great.
We'd go back because of the great prices.
This place is awesome. Fantastic service, Brandon was over-the-top friendly and attentive, brought us a sample of an item we asked about after ordering. There's nothing I didn't like about Blazin' BBQ. The food was prepared perfectly. If you like smoked you'll LOVE this. We've never been here before, but we'll be back. I now wants to move here just...
A great place for big BBQ options. Many smoked options. Mac and cheese a bit heavy. Meat was tasty and original homemade BBQ sauce was delicious.
Service is excellent. Food is amazing. The staff is always happy and very tentative. If you never want to be disappointed then you have to EAT HERE :)
Not a fancy restaurant, which is good because the atmosphere is more relaxed. The staff are friendly and service excellent. We had the rib and chicken dinner which was great. The price was a little higher then we were expecting but the meal made up for it. Would actually gladly return for another meal when down this way.
We 3 arrived in July 2016 for dinner and seated ourselves.. the waitress was attentive & knowledgeable of menu items..

We went as a small group on a Thursday night and sat ourselves. A waitress promptly came over to give us menus and tell us about the specials. If you like Bourbon they had Makers Mark and Bulleit and I tried the latter which was pretty good.

Have not had their brisket in a couple years and was reminded how great it is. Love their BBQ it's great to have it here in Chatham.
The ribs and chicken or pulled pork for that matter are award winning from many BBQ cook offs around the province. My favorite is there sides with offers such as corn bread homemade mac and cheese and baked beans all the things you are looking for in good BBQ.
Went for the first time today for lunch. It was delicious and very filling. Prices are very reasonable as well. Portions are a good size, we were both full! Wasn't too busy when we first sat down however we went a little earlier for lunch and by time we were done it was getting busy. Great food and great atmosphere...very...

Never mind the comedy! Kirsten Dunst steams up Anchorman 2 set as she strips down to her underwear
She may only be playing a cameo role in the new Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues film.
But Kirsten Dunst caused quite a steamy scene during filming in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday.
The blonde beauty was seen stripping down to nude lingerie and stockings after hopping into a harness for her scenes.
Steaming up the set: Kirsten Dunst stripped down to her nude-coloured underwear as she filmed a cameo scene for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues film in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday
Showing off her ample cleavage in the barely there undergarments, she had been strapped into the device after balancing on a barrel.
Earlier, she was seen standing on a balcony in a cream and gold gown teamed with extravagant headpiece.
Seemingly harking back to the Roman era, she was playing a long gold trumpet.
Cream and gold: Earlier, she was seen standing on a balcony in a cream and gold gown teamed with extravagant headpiece
Helping hand: Kirsten was seen being wrapped up in a pink dressing gown as she got prepared
With her hair in an almost crimped-like state, she blew on the instrument in the settings of what appeared to be a plush park.
It is unknown what role Kristen plays in the new comedy sequel but it has so far been described as a 'cameo' part.
Meanwhile, Anchorman is back and meaner than ever.
Shooting also took place on Tuesday, featuring a vicious fight between Sacha Baron Cohen and Golden Globes hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Strapped in: The actress was also strapped into a harness for her scenes
Blowing her own horn: Kirsten played a long gold trumpet in the scene for the comedy
Great heights: Kirsten was balancing on a barrel atop of a balcony for her scene
The female comic duo ganged up on The Dictator star, wrestling him to the muddy ground and beating him with a crowbar.
Before being beaten down by the ex-SNL actresses, thickly-moustached Cohen was seen strolling around the set between battlefield takes, texting on his phone and cracking jokes with stars Will Ferrell and David Koechner.
Cohen, Fey and Poehler were just a number of new faces present on set Tuesday, amongst the throngs of weapon-wielding late-70s costumed extras.
In good spirits: The actress was in good spirits as she chatted to a member of the team
Plush setting: With her hair in an almost crimped-like state, she blew on the instrument in the settings of what appeared to be a plush park
The entire day was spent shooting a Braveheart-esque battle scene, reminiscent of the cartoonishly violent news team skirmish in the first film where Steve Carrell's character stabbed a guy with a trident.
Meanwhile Carrell, reprising his role as Brick the dim-witted weatherman, was seen holding a wide variety of different weaponry, from his aforementioned trident to a flame thrower.
The big name actors making appearances in the much-anticipated sequel read like an invite list to a Tinseltown awards show.
On set: On Tuesday a casually dressed Kirsten was seen making her way around the set
Harrison Ford, Nicole Kidman, John C. Reilly, Greg Kinnear, Luke Wilson Kristin Wiig and Jim Carrey will all be at least be making cameos in the comedy, though the size of their roles will probably be relatively minor, with their mere presence in the film adding to the overall richness of it's unique humor.
The hilariously original Anchorman was a period comedy set in a male-dominated late-70s era news station in San Diego, with a fraternity of male anchors whose worlds are turned upside down by a woman being named co-anchor.
The sequel is directed by Adam McKay, whose directorial career was launched by the original film and has led to him helming other hit Will Ferrell-starring comedies like Talladega Nights, Step Brothers and The Other Guys.
Anchorman 2 is scheduled to be released theatrically on December 20th.
Another big name: Jim Carrey is also said to be making a cameo in the film and was seen on set on Tuesday
Behind the lens: The funnyman appeared to be doing takes with Will Ferrell and Steve Carell

Managing Podcasts
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q:How do I view my entire library of collected podcasts? And how do I delete some without deleting every one from that particular source?
- Scooter
A: In iTunes 7, all Podcasts are grouped under a "Podcasts" item in the iTunes source list.
If the "Podcasts" entry does not appear in the source list, it may be hidden. You can enable the display of this and other source list categories by going into iTunes' General Preferences, and simply selecting that categories that you want to see.
Selecting the "Podcasts" item from the source list will display a listing of all of your podcast subscriptions in iTunes. Each podcast subscription appears in this list, and you can click on the small triangle that appears to the left of each podcast subscription to expand that list and see the individual episodes of that podcast that are currently available on your computer, and any recent episodes that have not yet been downloaded.
To remove a specific podcast episode, just highlight the individual episode under the podcast subscription, and delete it as you would any other iTunes track. That particular episode will be removed, and iTunes will prompt you as to whether you want to delete the underlying file or keep it, as it would do for any other library entry.
Further, if you have iTunes set to only keep a certain number of podcast episodes, but there's a specific episode that you want to keep, you can exempt it from iTunes' auto-deletion feature by right-clicking on that particular podcast episode, and choosing "Do Not Auto Delete." This will leave that particular podcast episode in your iTunes library until you either delete it manually, you go back to the track and change the setting back to "Allow Auto Delete."
You can also apply the "Do Not Auto Delete" setting to an entire podcast subscription in the same manner—just right-click on the podcast subscription heading instead of on an individual episode, and choose "Do Not Auto-Delete" and iTunes will keep all of the episodes in that podcast, both current and future, until you delete them manually.

Mediastar HDT-920 PVR
- Dual tuners, Record up to four programs at once, PiP
- SD tuner only, Proprietary file formats
Bottom Line
A commendable PVR from MediaStar with a large hard drive is let down by only supporting SDTV
Price$ 699.00 (AUD)
The HDT-920 from MediaStar is equipped with a 120GB hard drive and dual TV tuners, allowing you to watch and record digital TV. Even though the HDT-920 includes only an SD tuner, it does offer additional features, such as being able to record up to four programs at once and Picture in Picture (PiP).
The HDT-920 is designed to sit horizontally like a VCR, rather than vertically like MediaStar's previous offering, the HDT-1100. The unit is coloured dark grey, with an attractive silver reflective frontage that will definitely complement any home theatre setup.
It took us just minutes to get this model up and running - five minutes after taking it out of the box, we had auto-scanned for channels and were watching digital TV. The HDT-920 provides a variety of ports, including composite, component, S-Video, and also USB and RS-232C outputs for connections to your PC. To test this unit, we hooked it up using a component connection to our massive Toshiba 62 inch DLP. Apart from a few minor artifacts, the HD quality was comparable to what we have seen on other units.
The list of channels on this model can be accessed a variety of ways, either through the EPG or presented as a scrolling channel list. The scrolling list can be sorted to your preference, but what it is missing here is a small preview box displaying what is on that channel, similar to the HDT-720. On the whole, channel management was relatively simple to master and the unit allows users to create groups of favorite channels. The channel plate information was descriptive yet unobtrusive, situated at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, the detailed EPG information about each program is placed exactly in the centre of the screen, thus obscuring the picture.
Like the HDT-720 the HDT-920 allows you to view channels in multiple windows on the one screen. We aren't really fans of this function though, as it takes rather a long time to load and only one screen is active at any one time. All the other windows are digital stills and the only way to see what's on a channel is by scrolling over to it.
Of more use to us was the PiP functionality and here is where the benefit of dual tuners comes to the fore. Did you know Sri Lanka has a rugby union team? We didn't either, until we saw them getting thrashed by the Australians - as we watched Halle Berry on Oprah at the same time. The implementation of the PiP function is a little fiddly on this unit and you will need to consult the manual to figure it out, but we got used to it in the end. The in-screen picture can be displayed in large or small sizes and situated in different places on the screen.
The PVR functions on this unit are pretty basic but implemented well. Time shifting is not enabled automatically, and you have to manually set this up by navigating through several menus, which we didn't like. Normal recording though, was accessed just by pressing the Record button and we very much appreciated being able to record up to four channels at once. On some other units we have seen, playing back these recorded files involved some nifty usage of the remote control and system menus, but on the HDT-920, one touch of the PVR button displayed our recorded programs by title and date - perfect!
Basic playlist and video editing functions are also supported. You can for example, set up a section of a recording to repeat, and also cut segments from a recording - which is useful if you want to eliminate ads.
One area we think the unit fell down was in file formats. We connected our player to a laptop using a USB cable (one wasn't included in the package) and it was recognized as a hard drive. So far so good. But, when we tried to play back the files on the laptop, we found they were in a proprietary format (.AVR) and not recognized by any media players we tried. According to MediaStar there are copyright reasons behind this and all recordings have to first be converted using software - which is too much of a hassle if you ask us. In better news, we were able to use the unit to play MP3s we had transferred over from our laptop.
We aren't really fans of the software interface on the HDT-920 as we found ourselves sometimes getting lost in the tabbed menus. The colour scheme was also a little garish for our liking, but that really is more a matter of personal taste. For parents, different controls and locks are provided to block channels and content, although we couldn't find a way to block recordings we had made.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

November 12, 2009
For the longest time, the New York Knicks have been clearing salary space to make room for the summer of 2010 in the hopes of bringing in LeBron James(notes) and Dwyane Wade(notes) to save the franchise. The problem is that there isn't much to the team right now and Wade and James have perfectly good support systems where they are right now. Plus, you don't have to live in New York City anymore to be a media powerhouse.
So the Knicks are apparently adjusting their expectations for next summer. There is no doubt the team will make an initial run at James and Wade but the word is that the Knicks are feeling like it is much more likely they'll end up with Toronto Raptors forward Chris Bosh(notes) and Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson(notes), who are also both free agents next summer, according to the New York Daily News.
This is still a good combo and a far sight better than what the Knicks have been putting on the floor recently.
Johnson at least has a long-time relationship with Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, who he played for years ago. "More than anything he gave me a chance, he gave me a chance to play and just play free - and kind of blossom from there. He's a great coach," Johnson said.
