Bake a rich gingerbread cake for the holidays
By ALISON LADMAN
Associated Press
There is no subtle way to say this. This cake screams Christmas.
To start with, it's gingerbread, the aroma alone of which is embedded in the definition of this holiday. That aroma, of course, is paired with an ultra-rich, moist cake that is at once dense, but also light. Then there is the sugar crisp caramelized sides of the cake, which only build to the tender, sweet lemony pear slices that crown the cake.
Pair this cake with a mug of hot cocoa, coffee or (to be totally indulgent) a frothy glass of eggnog.
Start to finish: 1 hour 20 minutes
(40 minutes active)
Servings: 16
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
3 large pears, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 tablespoon dry ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
In a skillet over low heat, combine the lemon juice and zest with the wine and 1/2 cup of the brown sugar. Add the pears and bring to a slow simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the pears are just tender. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the raisins.
Heat the oven to 350 F. Spray a tube pan with baking spray. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar in the bottom of the pan. Arrange the pears, slightly overlapping, over the sugar.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, granulated sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl between additions.
Add half the milk followed by half of the flour, mixing before adding the remaining half the milk and flour. Spoon into the prepared pan over the pears.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then place a large overturned plate or platter over the cake. Invert the cake so it is standing on the plate. If any of the pears stick to the pan, carefully remove them and return them to their place on the cake.

Balanced 2016 Tour route still set to favour climbers
By Julien Pretot
PARIS (Reuters) - The Tour de France looks set to be dominated by the climbers once more in 2016 but cycling's most prestigious stage race should get off to a calmer start than this year after organisers revealed a balanced course on Tuesday.
After rattling through cobbled sections and battling perilous crosswinds in an extremely nervous opening block of racing this year, the overall contenders will be relieved that the first week will be much less treacherous.
"It looks that way but we can never be sure. The Tour de France is a stressful race," warned defending champion Chris Froome of Britain.
"It will, however, be a week for the strong," said competition director Thierry Gouvenou, who designs the course along with Tour director Christian Prudhomme.
The sprinters will have more chances to shine with about seven stage finishes designed for the speed merchants, between the first stage ending at Utah Beach, the site of one of the D-Day landing operations in 1944, to the traditional final dash up the Champs-Elysees.
It means that a sprinter is highly likely to wear the yellow jersey after the first stage.
"That makes me super excited obviously, hopefully this time it's going to work out," said Briton Mark Cavendish, who missed out on that opportunity in 2014.
There will be plenty of mountains too, with 28 climbs, three more than this year, scattered over four chains -- the Massif Central, Pyrenees, Alps and Jura. Four mountain stages will conclude with uphill finishes. Continued...

UPDATE: So, it appears the Fun Police decided to make the video regional. If you want to hear the original audio and imagine people curling, go here (it's a link to Greg's show) and fast forward to the 1:38:13 mark. Meanwhile, we'll try and find a mirror.
UPDATE 2: Now with new video. (h/t io9)

Development of new personal mobile and wireless devices for healthcare has become essential due to our aging population characterized by constant rise in chronic diseases that consequently require a complex treatment and close monitoring. Personal telehealth devices allow patients to adequately receive their appropriate treatment, followup with their doctors, and report any emergency without the need of the presence of any caregivers with them thus increasing their quality of life in a cost-effective fashion. This paper includes a brief overview of personal telehealth systems, a survey of 100 consecutive ED patients aged >65 years, and introduces "Limmex" a new GSM based technology packaged in a wristwatch. Limmex can by a push of a button initiate multiple emergency call and establish mobile communication between the patient and a preselected person, institution, or a search and rescue service. To the best of our knowledge, Limmex is the first of its kind worldwide.

A 22-year-old beauty queen from Canada pleaded guilty to destruction of public property charges on Monday.The charges stem from June 2011 when Vancouverites rioted the city after the Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals. Cars were flipped, windows were busted, and things were burned during the night of mayhem. And it appears as though Sophie Laboissonniere was in on it, too.Laboissonnierre was arrested on June 15, along with several other rioters, just five months after being voted Miss Congeniality at the Miss Coastal Vancouver Pageant. Finally, a girl with the looks and the attitude!To date, there have been 110 guilty pleas by suspected offenders, including Laboissonniere. You know, this could have all been avoided if the NHL would have been locked out just as it's recently been this year. Just a thought.Via Off the Bench.

The Devil's CherubMature
A child is taken from her home and taught how to kill and make it look like an accident. She is taught to thirst for blood so she can be the world's greatest fear. The perfect secret weapon is hidden behind the face of a supposedly innocent child.
The Colour Brown
Colours are pools of magic to the young eyes of an innocent child. They were as mysterious as they were beautiful and I remember reaching my hands out attempting to touch them. Even though I had been alive for a month, I still had trouble grasping the concept that although I could see colours, they felt different every time I touched them. Blue could make my hands wet or it could feel soft and dry to my touch. Pink could be tied in a bow or it could be cool and smooth. At that age, I was still learning what I take for granted now. Colours are not magical and they aren't always good. I've learned over the past few years that the change in colour can be a warning.
I remember sitting in the stroller with a brown bear on my lap. I was chewing on its ear, trying to discover what brown tasted like. My parents let me chew my bear, but when I saw brown on the ground, they never let me go near it. I was pondering the concept of brown when a man came and stood right in front of my stroller and blocked the sunlight. I remember trying to communicate with the man to get him to move out of the way, but in the case with my grandparents, I could tell that he didn't understand me. When I spoke to him, he knelt down so he could look at me. His brown eyes stared into my blue eyes for a long time. If I hadn't been studying the brown of his eyes, I may have seen a warning in this, but as things were, I was curious about the differences between his brown eyes, my brown bear, and the brown dirt.
I let the man pick me up. He never took his eyes off of me and I couldn't stop staring at him. I dropped my bear and heard a light thump as it hit the cement of the sidewalk and inserted my thumb into my mouth. I didn't know who this man was, but I felt comfortable in his arms. I could tell that he had experience holding babies before, so I felt safe even when my parents were out of sight. It was only when he strapped me into a car seat that I didn't recognize when I was worried. I cried out for my parents and asked the man for answers and he seemed to understand me this time. He told me that my parents had asked him to take me for a while and he promised to look after me. He put a tape into the cassette player and I heard familiar music start to play. I fell asleep listening to the music and feeling the lull of the car driving steadily through traffic.
When I awoke, I found myself in an unfamiliar crib with strange toys all around me. It took me a few moments to remember that the strange man with the brown eyes said that he was going to look after me for a while. However, I was feeling hungry so I cried for help. I wasn't used to being away from my parents. One of them would always come running when I called.
A woman with brown eyes came into the room and picked me up. As with the brown-eyed man, I could tell that the woman was accustomed to holding children as well. She bounced me in her arms and sang to me in a voice far more soothing than my own mother's. I decided that I liked her and so I kissed her cheek. Even though the song was beautiful, it wasn't a replacement for nourishment. I cried again and eventually, the woman got the message that I was hungry and fed me breakfast.
While we were in the kitchen, the brown-eyed man was leaning on the red cabinet sipping something in a white mug. He smiled at me when he saw the woman feeding me and at this point, I didn't know what to make of him. I wondered why he was smiling at me. What could be so fascinating about me eating breakfast? Still, his eyes held a mystery and so did the woman's. I had a feeling that if I stayed with them, I would uncover the secrets of brown. Then I could move on to the next colour and so on and so forth.
Over the next few days, the woman started saying the same thing to me every time she put me down to sleep and every time she left the house: "Give Mommy a kiss!" She never put me down or left until I kissed her cheek. At first, I found it strange because for the month I'd been alive, Mommy had been the woman I'd lived with, the woman who never left me alone. This woman was a stranger. She wasn't my mother, but she called herself Mommy so maybe she was. I was confused about my parents. Even the brown-eyed man had started calling himself Daddy. What was I supposed to think?
The longer I stayed with these people, the more confused I got. Was it possible that someone could change parents? The people I thought were my parents hadn't come to get me yet so maybe they didn't love me anymore. Then another possibility came to mind. Maybe the other people were just a dream. Maybe they'd never existed and the brown-eyed people were my real parents. That would explain my fascination with the colour brown. As things turned out, it was easier to think of these people as my real parents than something completely different. That was how it was for the next few years. I lived with my parents, the brown-eyed people and completely forgot the existence of the other people. I was safe and happy.

The Planned Giving Society members have made a deferred gift in the amount of $10,000 or more in their estate plan to the Foundation. They believe that the Hospital must remain one of the premier providers of hospital care in California and one of the best in the nation.
In order to become a member of the Planned Giving Society complete the Planned Giving Reply Form.
Tell me more about: Bequests: The most common and easily executable type of planned gift, bequests are simply gifts of cash, securities, property, or other assets made through your will. Since they are exempt from estate taxes, charitable bequests may allow you to pass on to your heirs a larger portion of your estate. If you have a will already, it is a simple matter to make a change and add a charitable bequest through a codicil.
Charitable Trusts: The benefits of a charitable remainder trust include an irrevocable life income arrangement that is useful if you want to increase current income and decrease taxes. You may establish a trust for the benefit of one or more charitable organization and transfer assets to the trust. The trust agreement stipulates that you are to receive a lifetime income from the trust, which may continue to be paid to one or more beneficiaries. Upon the death of the last beneficiary, remaining trust assets become the property of the charitable organization(s). A charitable lead trust is the reverse of the charitable remainder trust. A lead trust is an irrevocable arrangement that allows you to support a charitable organization during your lifetime while leaving substantial assets to heirs. This trust provides an immediate flow of income to the charitable organization and may actually increase your inheritance through lowered gift and estate taxes.

Compared to the new edition of "Vertigo," Hitchcock's "Mamie," "Tom Curtain" and "The Birds" appear to be in dire need of restoration, too. If these films are in the same sad condition "Vertigo" was, we may never see them as they were intend-i ed. But there's hope.

"Star Wars" alone grossed more than $100 million on its rerelease - you can do the math. The business of modern film restoration really has its roots in the early 1980s. Two Acy films were restored as a labor of love and found great success when released theatrical- iy- The first was "Napoleon," Abel Gance's silent film of 1927. British film historian Kevin Brownlow spent years reassembling the forgotten film from sources scattered around the globe. Around the same time, Ronald Haver was working on length. When it was shown to the aging David Lean, he stunned the restorers by demanding that they cut it. Lean explained that he had not had enough time to finish the film as he had wanted. So, 30 years later, he got to finish his classic. Taking the restoration process to its extreme was Stanley Kubrick, who restored his landmark film, "Dr. Strangelove," by rephotographing each and every frame of the film with a Nikon still camera. That's dedication. The following films, all available on home video, are classics saved from decay. Today, they look more colorful, sharper and brighter than ever before. They're a treat to past.

Corby: First chapter back, welcome imaginary characters!
Corby Torson back in action! Too many people who weren't me got medals, I need to work up some medal power! Oh, by the way, my thoughts on all this. I'm still sooo bloody confused! I don't know why we divided, I don't know why I'm on this side... this side has my buddy James and his girlfriend but still. And most of all, I NEVER GOT MY EXPLANATION FOR WHY I'M HERE! Ah well, I'm here, so I wanna be popular!
One more thing, you can't see what I'm doing, but if you could, you'd wonder what it was. Well, just listen.
"All right, state your name and how you died."
"Jeremy, shot in the head."
"I see, well do your damage on that practice dummy." He pointed his hands at it. Immediately, bullets came shooting out of his fingers like a machine gun. After just 8 seconds, the dummy looked like it was just run over... and blown up. "Very nice Jeremy, you'd be a good ally. Just make sure you never use this in, you know, public." He nodded.
"Can I go next sir?"
"Sure, name and cause of death."
"Gilbert, fell out a window 40 stories high."
"Yikes, well next time keep it closed."
"It was closed.."
"Oh, my my this'll be pretty." I got into position. I was just about to let it rip when I saw James and Winter run by my window. "Hey James, come see this!" He didn't answer. I got a bit worried, so I decided to go after him, but not before this. "Gilbert let it rip for a couple seconds." And just like that, a storm of glass came charging towards the dummy, tearing it to pieces. I was amazed.
"All right, Gilbert, Jeremy, both of you come with me. The rest of you, wait here. I just need to check on something." I climbed up the stairs with my boys close behind. I finally go to the top and saw Winter and James just standing there looking down. I walk up to see what happened, and I did not like what I saw.

Then is the only never
Poem by: Neekas
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
I was driving under clouds of fire that day,
tapping my feet down hard about today.
I could relate with what i heard.
I held a flower on my way back which I gave to you,
the only one I'd pull a life for.
You probably won't remember this.
You probably won't remember the way you looked at me,
this moment I saved like a picture in my head.
I live it everyday, baby. Everyday.
And I am back here, looking to find the picture of then desperately.
And there's no fire, just the sun bright, the land dry, the mountains died...
but the worst is, that you are no longer mine.
Scars stay on my face permanately now,
as I rot cold and dead inside.
You're not there to make me smile.
Angry between my eyebrows.
Pain has turned to hate into my once curious eye.
Have nobody to kill for anymore but plenty reasons to die.
I don't stop tapping my feet down because I need to feel like I'm still alive.
They still remember everything.
They aren't over it after all this time,
they never will.
Here's one forever I will know.

Aww, this is amazing. keep writing, your a talent!(:
You already know that I'm going to say I love it and I know you're probably gonna say that you hate it. But guess what? I don't really care. =P You can say that humans don't have cells but it won't rewrite the fact that we do. You can say that this poem stinks but the fact is that it it's great. =)
And by the way, I am waiting on your next move. I've got plenty ideas for our so called Pickle. =)
Oh i know. I have finished it and i have not got connection. I get so sad. Because i was waiting to get to you and let you have all weekend for writting free. I cant upload it. :-( as for the other things you said. I saw this comment second and you were so right. Hee! Have to learn how to take take some compliments huh... So, good days to you for now. I will keep trying for connection.
Yes, you do have talent. A really good one. That I hope everyone on Booksie will learn to love and that everyone will soon realise.
Good job :)
You express your anger and disappointment well. And your from Greece too, which gives you an extra point :)
"Have nobody to kill for but plenty of reasons to die" I don't know why, but that line really stuck out to me. There is no one to protect any more but lots of things to be protected from, but now that that person isn't here, who is going to do that?
You express the emotions really well and it flowed well throughout. I really like it, good job :)

As a historical room, this is pretty magnificent - ceiling covered with heraldic thingummybobs; big square vaulted columns all over the place. Its the sort of room youd only expect to see at one of the larger stately homes after parting with much wonga to get in. As a pub, its less good - just a huge barn with loads of pillars to get in your way, meaning that it totally lacks atmosphere. Somehow it feels more like a canteen than a pub. And this lack of atmosphere seemed to have infiltrated everything else too - the beer selection was a little dull (and dominated by the "Coming Soon" brewery), the service was slightly slower & less friendly than your average Spoons (but still OK), the prices slightly higher than you expect from a Spoons (but still cheaper than any other pub around), and it felt a little grubby - uncleared tables and such like. If youre at Baker Street, definitely go and see the decor, but only really worth staying if you need a quick, cheaper meal & a pint. Overall verdict: "Must try harder" - one of the less good Spoons Ive visited.
jackl (718) Minneapolis, Minnesota | June 22, 2016
Cavernous, dimly lit spoonies. Not the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay and have a session. At least the location right next to Baker St Station is convenient. Theres 10 cask options available plus about the same amount on keg. Ive visited several times over the last couple of weeks and generally been impressed by the condition of the cask stuff. Prices are fine and the staff is well trained. Overall, this place is better than a kick in the teeth.
WingmanWillis (1465) , England | June 9, 2015
Huge single roomed Spoons, nice conversion and a bit of an oasis of beer in the Baker St area. Beer range is variable but plenty usually on and can generally pick up something interesting. Been here a few times, service isnt good, the food has been poor and the place is a bit scruffy. Other than necessity I wouldnt bother at all. Its just handy for Baker St.
moleha4 (78) , England | January 28, 2015
Large JDW above Baker St Tube Station. Not a destination bar, but since it is very close to Madame Tussauds, The Planetarium, and the Sherlock Holmes Museum it is worth knowing about for anyone thirsty after visiting any of the above. It is usually busy. Even on a cold Tuesday evening at about 7.30 pm there were no free tables. Service usually reasonably quick in spite of queues at the bar. For those interested in the guest, as opposed to the JDW standard cask beers, head for the middle bank of 6 handpumps. Last nights range included 3 from Twickenham brewery. Visited 27.1.15
Fin (1126) Merton, Oxfordshire, England, England | October 31, 2014
I visited this JDW on Thursday 30th October 2014. Itd been a couple of years or so since Id laat ventured in here and I may be wrong bit it appears to have had a spruce up. It is a large sprawling place which if I could be bothered to explain I would, but sadly you catch me in a cant be arsed to describe at length sort of mood. However there is one large bar that appears to run the length of the main bar area, it did appear very big, I for one could not be arsed to walk its entire length checking and double checking what was available, people have done shorter charity walks than that, if Id have had a motobility scooter like much of the population of Skegness* (*unverified fact it that I believe Skeggy is the Motability scooter capital of the UK) then I may have trundled up and down the bar but I didnt and so just plumped for a beer close by which sounded good and was good. A mixed bag of a clientel, after work crowd, commuters, all day drinkers and one or two lager swilling vocabularly challenged meatheads (I love people watching). My beer was great and hats off to JDW it was in excellent nick.
imdownthepub (1009) Banbury, England | October 24, 2014
Large and grand Wetherspoons in the old Railway offices, showing how much fat was incorporated into the original Railway Companies. There are obviously a great number of tourists milling round due to its location and history, these are mixed in with the usual eclectic range of Wetherspoons customers. Service is tardy, one person trying to manage the whole rather lengthy bar, and dont talk to me about the length of time it takes to serve coffee!. Sticky carpets and tables. You know what you are going to get.
BeerViking (110) Brentford, England | April 14, 2014
Picturesque barn of a JDW. Three racks of handpumps with usually several guest ales on. Ale quality varies from OK to excellent, prices are high by JDW standards (currrently £3.10 a pint) but cheap for the area. Often busy due to the many tourist attractions around, and can feel crowded too as they pack the table in a bit tight.
ManVsBeer (1929) Hebden Bridge, England | November 6, 2013
With its gaudy neon sign outside you might be tempted to keep walking past this pub if you are looking for something traditional, however once inside the large grand room that this Wetherspoon is housed in is a fine opulently decorated room that would otherwise be closed to the public. The bar itself is set inside the building so is removed from the hustle and bustle that is Bakers Street station with a number of underground lines running through it (including the Metropolitan Line of course!). Its location probably accounts for the fact that this is one of the most expensive pubs in this chain i have been to, although you are guaranteed the usual selection of rotating ales here.
Boudicca (1231) London, England | August 21, 2013
The Metropolitan is a Wetherspoon pub at Baker Street station, which is served by the Metropolitan line amongst others. Its a magnificently elegant room with painted columns and coats of arms. We thought it may once have been the Chiltern Court restaurant, made famous by John Betjeman at the start of his "Metroland" film but we were told that it was a training room for Metropolitan railway staff. Perhaps at various times it has been both ..... The beer range is rather typical of Wetherspoons, with the standards alongside some more interesting offerings. (Visited 8 August 2013).
Brugmansia (623) Jylland, Denmark | August 9, 2013
Visited a few times, latest august 2013. Typical JDW pub, very clean and quiet, vist place. Friendly, serviceminded staff. Beers served in good condition. Easy to get to since it is placed just next to a tube station..

|Setting the scene from Celtics-Heat Game 7, where Ray Allen has it over everyone
|06.09.12 at 6:47 pm ET
MIAMI — Welcome to Game 7.
It's the seventh such Game 7 in the "Big Three plus Rondo" era. They are 4-2 in the previous six but of those six, only one came on the road. The 2010 Game 7 in the NBA finals in which, like this series, the Celtics were leading 3-2 but couldn't close out in Game 6 when Kendrick Perkins went down.
In losing Game 6 to LeBron James and the Heat, the Celtics have put themselves in the position of fighting history.
There have been 110 Game 7s, and the home team is 88-22. The Celtics are 3-3, last winning on the road in 1974.
What's even more improbable is a team winning both Game 5 and Game 7 on the road. The Celtics took a 3-2 series lead by winning in Miami last Tuesday. In the 110 seven-game series, only five times has the road team won both Games 5 and 7 – the 1968 and 1974 Celtics, the 1981 and 1995 Rockets and the 2005 Pacers all did the highly improbable.
On the Heat side, LeBron James is playing in his third Game 7 and everyone recalls the last one. He scored 45 points in a 98-91 loss to the Celtics at the Garden on May 18, 2008 in the Eastern semifinals. Before that, on May 21, 2006, James' Cavaliers also lost to the Pistons in the Eastern semis.
Ray Allen will have more Game 7 experience than anyone on the floor Saturday night, playing in his ninth such contest. In addition to the six with the Celtics, he played in two with the Bucks in 2001, beating New Orleans in the Eastern semis before bowing out to Allen Iverson and the Sixers in the Eastern finals in Philadelphia.
|Kevin Garnett: Celtics and Heat 'two teams just throwing punches'
|06.04.12 at 4:42 pm ET
There was yet another defining moment of the series in the second half when LeBron James drove to the basket and was hit hard by Kevin Garnett. The two locked each other up momentarily as James pushed off of Garnett.
No foul was called in rare moment in the series where two players were allowed to go at each other in the heat of battle.
"[We were] two teams just throwing punches, really, to be honest," Garnett said after Boston's 93-91 Game 4 win in overtime. "I thought when we were up, we were aggressive. Obviously they were going to make a run. They got a lot of free-throws in that run, a lot of lay-ups in that run and they were able to get some transition."
The Heat made their big run in the third quarter to make it a game as the Celtics fell into big foul trouble. With 3:35 left in the third, Rajon Rondo picked up his fourth foul. Just 13 seconds later, Paul Pierce joined him on the bench with four personals. It was up to Garnett to lead the group on the floor and right the ship as the Heat closed the quarter with a 7-1 run that cut the Boston lead down to 73-68 entering the fourth.
"Once we got that under control, I felt like we got back aggressive," Garnett said. "The play-calling was all over the place as far as the refs and I thought both teams played through it. Then, when we had to, we got stops.'
The biggest challenge for stars like Garnett, Rondo, Pierce and James is to know what kind of contact is going to be whistled and what isn't during a game, something that could decide the season for both teams.
'It is but you have to put the refs in a position to make some calls," Garnett added. "[Doc Rivers] stressed us to stay aggressive. At times it is difficult but it can't decipher on your aggression and how aggressive you are especially during a run. Defensively, you want to be in sync but you can't let them decipher how you are. I thought we kept our composure pretty well and finished the game off.'
Garnett essentially admitted that the Celtics were lucky to survive Sunday night when Pierce fouled out just 38 seconds into OT. The Celtics scored just four points. They held Miami to two in the five-minute period.
'It changes when Paul goes out," Garnett said. "The scorers, Rajon, myself, [Ray Allen] and everybody has to pick up the load a little bit as far as being more offensive-minded. Like I've always said, we are a defensive team that can score the basketball. When Paul goes out, Rajon knows to be a lot more aggressive. Ray knows to be a lot more aggressive. We encourage [Mickael Pietrus to score]. I think Quis [Marquis Daniels] was in there in the latter part of the game. (We) just stay aggressive. As long as we are making stops, we can turn it over into some easy offense and we're a hard team to beat at times.'
|Kevin Garnett: 'At this point, it's desperation, desperation basketball'
|06.02.12 at 1:39 am ET
An inspired and fired up Kevin Garnett let everyone know exactly how proud he was of the Celtics fan base that supported the team Friday night in their 101-91 win over the Heat Friday night at TD Garden in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Celtics avoided falling behind 3-0 in the series and could tie the series on Sunday with another home-court win.
'It's whatever, it's desperation," Garnett said. "You know, at this point it's desperation, desperation basketball. Next game, Game 4, it's going to be even more. You have to anticipate them making adjustments, were going to make some adjustments. But the tenacity, the desperation has to be there. We're playing at home, we have to give it our all out and it will be out. The jungle was rockin' tonight. I want to thank all the fans who came out. The [expletive] jungle was rockin' tonight! I loved it. [Expletive] loved it.'
Garnett led the Celtics on the court as well as emotionally, scoring 24 points and grabbing 11 rebounds and helping the Celtics dominate the Heat in the paint, 58-46.
"KG is a difficult match'up for a lot of guys, period," said LeBron James. "He started off really well. I think he had 12 points in the first quarter and got them off to a good start. That's part of the reason why they had 58 points in the paint. He opened up a lot for not only himself but for his teammates as well. And he's definitely a threat down there, and he made some huge shots."
But Garnett, who had seven points in the opening quarter for the Celtics, repeated the mantra of desperation, something the Celtics came out with from the opening tip.
'Desperation game, to be honest," Garnett reiterated. "And we played like it too. You don't want to be down 3-0 to a team like this. Very very good team, very talented team, well coached team. I feel like we played desperation basketball.
"I feel like these games at home, have to be nothing less than that. These are desperation games and we have to play them like that.'
|Kevin Garnett may have 'no life at all' but he sure has plenty of game
|05.13.12 at 1:06 am ET
Kevin Garnett isn't doing much partying these days.
When you're 35 (36 on May 19) and supposedly on your final legs and teammates like Paul Pierce say their going to ride you till "the wheels fall off," there's nothing much to do but get your body rested and ready to wreak havoc on the opposition in the playoffs.
'I have no life at this point," Garnett said after Saturday's 92-91 win over Philadelphia in Game 1 Saturday night. "I go home, get treatment, come back in here, study tape, film. No life at all. This is what it is.'
That treatment is the typical stuff plus keeping that achy hip flexor loose so it doesn't tighten up in close games like Game 1 against Philadelphia.
KG did it again in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, going for 29 points and 11 rebounds in 38 minutes, including all 12 in the fourth quarter as the Celtics came back from the dead three times in the win Saturday night at TD Garden.
'You guys gotta understand that were playing a very good team, very young," Garnett said of the Sixers, whom he beat up just like he did the Hawks in Round 1. "I thought for the most part those guys hit us in the mouth in the first quarter, I'm not gunna lie. But as the game went on it went good, second half was more of a defensive mind. At the same time, still punching back if you will. We put some stops together and closed the game."
Did Garnett feel fortunate that the Celtics were down just five in the first half, when he scored 14 of Boston's 42 points?
'To be honest I didn't even know what we were down I don't even look at the score," Garnett said. "No disrespect for the game or anything like that, I go off the crowd, I go off the adrenaline, the emotion. For the most part I like the feel of the game. I really feel like we have better basketball in us. I'm sure as the series goes on we will have no other choice but to get better. Whatever is asked of me is what I am going to do. I don't really pay attention to the minutes.'
Garnett was the monster and feeding him was Rajon Rondo, especially late when Garnett hit a key three-point play to help the Celtics to an 86-84 lead with 2:52 left, a lead they would not relinquish.
'Swag was aggressive, man," Garnett said. "I thought second half he did a lot better job looking for his shot. He has a lot of confidence. Hes been really really working on his game. He did a good job of balancing out trying to get Paul one, trying to get myself one."
Sixers coach Doug Collins said his team did what they could against Garnett.
"I don't know what else we could have done," Collins said. "He made a lot of tough shots. He hits those long jump shots. We are not going to run out at him or get a hand in his face but ya know all of a sudden you start running around and doing al that you free up Paul Pierce and all these other guys. I mean you have to pick your poison.
"Kevin is playing great. I mean he is playing great. He's hitting all these shots. He's fading shots off the glass. I mean he's playing as well as I've ever seen him play. My hat's off to him. But I don't think there was anything we did poorly with him. I just think that some times you get trumped."
Just 35 seconds after his three-point play, his jumper put the Celtics up, 88-84. Garnett showed he still has plenty of game even if he has no life.
'When we win I'm having a lot of fun," Garnett said. "When we lose it's a tough day.'
|C's injury bug so bad even Kevin Garnett can't get home cooking
|12.01.10 at 11:44 pm ET
For now, the injury list is not having an impact on the Celtics record. Doc Rivers knows his luck can only last so long while he moves banged up players in and out of a make-shift rotation. The C's have the best record in the East at 14-4 following their win over the Trail Blazers Wednesday night at TD Garden.
But that great record is coming with a price – nagging injuries.
And making matters worse Wednesday, the Celtics lost Kevin Garnett for over five minutes in the third quarter when team doctors had trouble closing up a wound under his chin that required five stitches, leading Rivers to wonder openly what in the wide, wide world of sports is going on. For a moment, he thought he was on the road, not on the parquet.
Garnett took an elbow early in the third quarter from Andre Miller and had to leave at the 7:47 mark. He didn't return until 2:24 remained in the quarter. The Celtics, who trailed 68-62 just moments earlier, were kick-started by KG and finished the quarter on a 13-4 run that gave them the lead for good.
"It usually does," Rivers said of Garnett's high-energy impact. "He was pissed because someone hit him in the mouth so you knew he was come either with energy or attacking everybody else on the floor.
"The third quarter was huge because we didn't want to sub [Shaq] him out. We wanted to wait until Kevin [returned]. Whoever did our stitches, we're going to have a talk. That was the longest [wait]. I thought we were on the road. That's what the opposing doctors do. They can't find the sutures, they take their time."
And try as he might, Rivers couldn't get an explanation from chief trainer Ed Lacerte about why it was taking so long to get the cut under Garnett's chin fixed.
"It did take a long time," Rivers said. "I kept checking with Eddie, like 'What's going on back there?' That was big for Shaq. He kept saying he could stay in and that was huge for us."
Not only did O'Neal played the five-minute stretch, he played the first 9 minutes, 36 seconds of the third quarter, until getting a blow when Garnett finally returned to the game.
Rivers said after the game Wednesday that Rajon Rondo's strained left hamstring, which Rivers thought was no longer an issue early in the week, started to get sore in the fourth quarter. Then Rivers said that back-up point Nate Robinson has an aching left foot which was bothering him.
"I left Rondo in because Nate's foot was hurting," Rivers said. "Rondo's hamstring was starting to get sore and he was worried that if he came out he couldn't return. So, the injury thing is really starting to creep up on us a little bit, and it is what it is."
Robinson confirmed after the game that he's been dealing with a sore right heel since Nov. 22, when the Celtics beat the Hawks in Atlanta.
|Ray Allen on Twitter & NBA: 'It's a very fragile world'

Not that this is news but Ray Allen is no Kevin Garnett. He admitted as much before Wednesday's game against Milwaukee when asked his take on "Twitter War" between KG and Charlie Villanueva.
"I don't want a mic on those guys in the NFL and I don't want a mic on these guys in the NBA," Allen said. "You have the opportunity to hear some things that maybe you don't want to hear or some kids don't need to hear but that's the heat of the battle, that's in competition. I've never been a trash-talker. I believe in close competition you can find something you can beat your guy at. Most guys know when they're beat and I'm not a pound-on-my-chest player and never have been.
"If I just made a three or a dunk, whatever it may be, I think everybody saw it. I don't need to draw more attention to it."
Allen said the first he heard of the 'Twitter war' between Villanueva and Garnett was while he was on his way to Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Allen said athletes have to be careful what they say on and off the court and now on-line.
"It's a very fragile world that we live in now," Allen said. "You almost have to have people around you to protect everything that you say and do and somebody has to watch you. As athletes, I think we have to be more responsible."
Villanueva, via his Twitter page after Tuesday's game in Detroit, accused Garnett of calling him a 'cancer patient' while Garnett said in a statement Wednesday that it was a misunderstanding and and that he called Villanueva a 'cancer' to his team. Allen said he believes athletes are under a spotlight that's getting hotter and hotter.
|Celtics practice 'good and bad'
|01.04.10 at 3:36 pm ET
WALTHAM — The Celtics have already proven they can beat a lesser team on the parquet of TD Garden without Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo. But on Wednesday, they might have to do the same against the Miami Heat on the road.
Rondo [left hamstring], Pierce and Garnett [both right knees] were all observers again on Monday as Tony Allen, J.R. Giddens and Rasheed Wallace filled in during practice.
"Practice was good and bad," said Tom Thibodeau, who was filling in for Doc Rivers. "Normally, coming off a day off, it's a little sloppy but the intensity was good and the intentions were good."
Read between those lines and the man who ran practice for Rivers on Monday was trying to be kind to the healthy players who are trying to get ready for Miami without Garnett and possibly Rondo and Pierce missing again.
The coaching staff will gather with the players and trainer Ed Lacerte on Tuesday before their flight to Miami and make a determination if it's even worth traveling the players.
"I didn't talk to Eddie today," Thibodeau said. "[Rondo] came out and coaching and involved and he's chomping at the bit. I assume he's feeling better but I don't know that he's ready yet.
"Paul was moving around and did some shooting and things like that. He's feeling pretty good. He's improving day by day."
Meanwhile, Garnett was spotted lifting weights and conditioning while he recovers from a sore right knee that has him like out another week.
