Vegan Maggie Q
Star of the drama Nikita, Maggie Q is proud to be veg.
Maggie Q, star of The CW's new drama Nikita, is happy to be in a position to spread a message of vegetarianism and animal rights, she said. Maggie Q is a champion of animal rights, has three dogs at home, and has in the past done ads with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The star, who is recognized for her fit physique, hopes to encourage others to adopt a vegetarian diet as well. "I've never felt better in my life, ever," she said. "In terms of consciousness, what benefits our body and benefits animal welfare also benefits the planet. It's all connected." The actress has also starred in action films such as Mission: Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard.

This the wrap coat I made mixing two patterns : burda 126/01/2011 for the bodice and Vogue 8379 for the skirt.
This is not the best sewn coat but I love it.

I would love to have more details on how you made this coat, I really love it! You did a wonderful job and if their are any imperfections they're surely unnoticeable. Do you have a blog? I would love to see more
Dec 19, 2013, 08.15 AMby _ Threadie
Thank you very much !
I do have a blog, you can find the article here : http://uponathread.blogspot.fr/2013/12/wrap-coat.html.
But I didn't put lots of explanations on it.
I cut the burda pattern at the waist, I made two version of the odice, one in the fshion fabric, the other in the lining fabric.
On the lining, In cut the dart part so that i got two pieces and I made the dart part in the fashion fabric (like here http://lowpricefabric.blogspot.fr/2013/10/mimi-g-pattern-review-diy-steps.html#.UrKpmrR_uuR)
I sewed the dart part with the lining, then i joined the bodice with the lining.
After, I joined the skirt part from vogue 8379. I didn't line the skirt.

It's time to appreciate all the wonderful things you have! Save 50% off a Peace & Harmony Tarot reading now to reach that thankful state of mind!
Hexagram of the Day
62: Attention to Detail
Ambitious undertakings are not in order now, but attention to small matters brings progress. Such is the case of a person whose resources are meager, but who, through modesty and perseverance, rises to accomplish great things.
The key to success when small potential influences the larger scene is to avoid pretentious ambitions and grandiose goals. The power of the small is served by slow and steady advancement, and succeeds through an honest awareness of its own limitations, without reservation.
Modesty stemming from recognizing your limitations is a fine quality, but it can be seen as weakness if it is not accompanied by conscientiousness. It is important to understand the demands of your situation, and not to expect success in big things right now. The wise person recognizes the nature of the time. So, know your own role, carefully attend to details and act with humility, and you can achieve your goal even with few resources.

Actually on the jcp site, the rewards look very good for a store card. I'd post a link, but I'm not sure that's allowed. Is it an easy card to get? I know its GE, but some are easier than others.
It is a very decently easy card to get. What does your credit profile look like? Any recent baddies or negatives? I had a woman come in one day who's credit was destroyed by identity faud that went on for some time (3 or 4 years without her knowing, i believe). for the past two years she was slowly trying to rebuild from a 300k mortgage and large auto loan the frauder opened up and defaulted on. she was so upset over the denials for CCs that she stopped apping completely for the past year. I told her GE was an easier creditor to app with and will build with you. she decided to go for it, and she got approved for a 500 limit! this woman was seriously about to cry and she was so thankful I convinced her to app for the card! I wished her well on the road to credit recovery and told her to ask for a CLI every 4 statements
ahh myFICO success stories...
Fresh bk and a judgment still reporting. Hopefully I will get that judgment off soon. I think I'd better save the GE apps until my November app spree.

I think that's a safe assessment. GE doesn't really like real recent stuff. Let it age and you'll be good to go!

Guide Gear 100 gram Thinsulate Insulation-lined Jeans, Stonewash is rated out of 5 by 60.Rated 2 out of 5 by Jim S from Very thin denim After waiting from last winter until this fall the jeans came a few days earlier than promised.The thinsulate is the same as the jeans I bought several ago,the denim is very thin and very dark .I purchased 2 pairs ,1 pair has been worn ,but the second pair will never be used.Date published: 2014-11-24Rated 1 out of 5 by Cheech from Total disappointment. Bought my first pair of these from SG a couple years ago and they were great. Ordered again last March and were back ordered until last week. Obviously SG is using a different vendor. The jeans were thinner, with a darker 'mom' jeans color, bright yellow stitching and a smaller cut than previously. Customer service was excellent though when I called to return.Date published: 2014-11-21Rated 4 out of 5 by kitadog from Love the pants but they run small in the waist about one to two sizes length is good I take a 34w and got a 36w because they do shrink.Date published: 2014-11-19Rated 1 out of 5 by Dave228 from Quality not what it used to be. Just received the second pair of these jeans that I had ordered two months ago.When I got them out of the package I found that the denim is much thinner / lighter than the first pair and that the rise is much too short so this second pair does not fit properly. I am returning them.Date published: 2014-11-16Rated 4 out of 5 by MICHAEL from very niceDate published: 2014-02-25Rated 5 out of 5 by THOMAS from This will be the 3rd pair I have.

I agree with you jamesb........although it's true to form for this govt.
is there a national security issue to witholding the release of the minutes ? i don't see how, so i can only conclude that the minutes would be a hugely embarassing disclosure for those in the cabinet arguing the case for war at that time based on legal technicalities.
And it would no doubt be a massive embarrassment for the current labour party leadership. i think for the 'serious damage' argument below quote from the bbc website read huge embarrassment and zero credibility. not that the current bunch have got anything in the way of credibility. They've already got a mountain to climb to win the next election.....maybe with the release of these minutes they'd worry the sheeple might realise what numbskulls some of the labour cabinet really are and they might be worried of becomign the third party behind the libdems as a result of this 'serious damage'.
Releasing the papers would do "serious damage" to cabinet government, he said, and outweighed public interest needs.

Ubuntu 14.04 Might Drop OpenJDK Java Support
Published on 22 January 2014 11:30 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
25 Comments
Canonical developers are currently deciding whether to drop OpenJDK from the main Ubuntu Linux archive and move it into the universe repository for the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS release.
Ubuntu developers don't enjoy maintaining the open-source OpenJDK Java implementation. According to James Page, "the foundations team have been reviewing whether we should continue to provide OpenJDK as the default Java implementation in Ubuntu; this package is quite a resource drain on both the foundations and security teams from a SRU perspective so demotion of openjdk7 to universe is being considered."
Ubuntu developers would use GCJ -- the GNU Compiler Collection's Java language support -- in place of OpenJDK 7 for building Java packages. The
GCC Java support has been losing ground
but now Ubuntu developers are looking to leverage it to ease their support burden. Most Java applications can compile with GCJ, but a notable exception to that is Tomcat.
Apache Tomcat is the well known Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages server implementation that by default doesn't build cleanly "out of the box" with GCJ. Thus the Tomcat server would also be demoted out of Ubuntu's main archive.
The discussion about whether to demote OpenJDK support within Ubuntu Linux and in turn also boot Tomcat out of main is still ongoing and the discussion can be found on the
the Ubuntu-devel list

Sao Paulo - Brazil's sports minister has
criticised "unacceptable" comments by FIFA Secretary General Jerome
Valcke over the country's preparations for the 2014 Soccer World Cup and said
the government does not want to deal with him anymore.
Rebelo said on Saturday that Valcke's words were inappropriate and he wants
FIFA to assign someone else to work with the government in matters
related to the 2013 Confederations Cup and the World Cup.
said Friday he had serious concerns about Brazil's preparations and that
the country appeared more concerned about winning the tournament than
making it ready for fans.
Valcke said that "things are not
working in Brazil" and that "not a lot is moving" with just two years
left before the tournament. Valcke sent a blunt message to Brazil: "You
have to push yourself, kick your (backside) and just deliver this World
Rebelo said he understands Valcke will keep his duties as
FIFA's secretary general and will continue to work closely with local
organizers, but from now on the Brazilian government will not welcome
him when he comes to the country.
He said Valcke's comments contradict FIFA's own evaluation of the country's preparations after a visit in January.
"The secretary general made an evaluation that does not correspond to the facts or the reality," Rebelo said.

Going for the reprise
Lisa Kudrow has trod the Emmy path before — six nominations including one win (for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy in 1998) for her performance as the loopy, likable Phoebe Buffay on the popular, long-running "Friends."
But this time around it's different.
To begin with, she was nominated for lead actress in a comedy series for a role she created, co-wrote and co-executive produced. Her character on HBO's "The Comeback" was Valerie Cherish, a desperate, irritating has-been actress who made viewers squirm as she tried to claw her way back into the spotlight. And this show didn't live past its first season — HBO canceled it the day after last year's Emmys.
"The Comeback" was all about failure, which seems a fitting subject on a day when the television industry celebrates itself. Most pilots made never air on TV, and most of those that do don't last.
Kudrow, after years of working in the rarefied air on one of the most popular shows in television history, has suddenly found herself in the unfamiliar position that Valerie and many others in Hollywood would recognize: a one-season wonder. That her pet project took a beating but came up with an Emmy nomination is particularly sweet, she said, and helps her combat the odd feeling that the show never existed at all.
Creating new scenes for the just-released DVD of "The Comeback" had helped reconnect her to the show, she said.
Still, a hint of bitterness was audible when she talked about the critical reviews and the cancellation. While HBO supported her efforts to create "The Comeback," Kudrow said, "they never got it fully."
"I guess they needed better ratings or for it to catch on sooner. Plus the press was a little over HBO and their behind-the-scenes-of-the-industry shows. They weren't in the mood for 'We're leaving it on,' " she said.
"The Comeback" mocked the current state of television through Kudrow's character, a needy, obsessive, sometimes pathetic, sometimes strong actress who volunteers to star in a reality show that documents her return to television on "Room and Board," a vehicle for hot twentysomethings. Her comeback, of course, is charged with humiliating moments when Valerie finds herself relegated to the role of the tracksuit-wearing older aunt and comic foil.
With the ever-present reality show camera lingering on her facial expressions, the show highlighted Valerie's raw emotions as she careened from confusion and self-deception to fruitless attempts to dictate situations far beyond her control. "The show was really a dance between the camera and me and the [audience]," she said.
"The Comeback" is also nominated for directing by Michael Patrick King ("Sex and the City"), who co-wrote and executive produced the show along with Kudrow. Unbeknownst to each other, Kudrow said, the pair coincidentally submitted the same episode for Emmy consideration: the finale, in which Valerie finally sees the reality show, falls apart at the unflattering portrayal of her life, but then pulls it together for what turns out to be a triumphant appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" to discuss it.
In the end, Kudrow allowed that "The Comeback" might have been "too jam-packed with uncomfortable experiences for an audience.... I've heard men say 'I had to step out of the room. I had to watch from the doorway.' It was so rough."
Not everyone felt that way, of course: "It's interesting that whatever the theme or the moment was, depending on which person watched it, you got a whole different interpretation from agonizing to hilarious."
Some characterized her performance as "brave," a compliment Kudrow said she doesn't understand.
"If there's a part that appealing or a character that I want to do that I think could be funny or compelling or affective in some way, the actor in me wants to do it," she said. "I'm not thinking, 'How is this going to look?' "
Kudrow, who shows little evidence of her 43 years, said she is drawn to flawed and complex characters such as Valerie who are rarely seen in modern popular culture.
"Women used to be very flawed in movies. You think of Katharine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, Judy Holliday. Sometimes they were nasty and sarcastic and catty. Then it seems that after the women's movement, it was politically incorrect to depict a woman like that — 'Oh, there we go again, making her catty' — as if it were promoting stereotypes that were unflattering. Women in TV got boring. They always had to be reasonable and right.
"It's more realistic to depict women who have all those different sides. But it's not always appealing."
Flaws? Bigger the betterThe flaws she likes in comic characters are the more serious ones, such as Murphy Brown's alcoholism, rather than more acceptable traits such as clumsiness or materialism. It was something that drew her to Phoebe, who was a pressure cooker of anger on "Friends": "It rang true to me," she said of the character who put a smile on even the most tragic of circumstances: 'Oh, yeah, everything's all right. My mom killed herself.' "
Since then, she said, her comic roles have acquired more heft, in films such as "The Opposite of Sex" and "Happy Endings." Kudrow also has a development deal with NBC and two new films: "The Deal," a romantic comedy with William H. Macy, starts shooting this fall, and another one — a comedy called "Kabluey" — will be released next year.
Still, it's been hard to put "The Comeback" on the shelf permanently because there has been some talk of bringing it back in some way, she said. She and King also created two new scenes just for the DVD.
If the show had continued, she said Valerie would have become "more diva-ish." After her turn on "Leno," "She would have felt like a success. We could play with how much power she would have."
Kudrow also would have wanted to explore the character of Paulie G., the embittered show runner on "Room and Board" who clashes constantly with Valerie. "One way to go is she [uses her newfound clout and] gets him fired, but he would probably get fired anyway. He drinks too much and is too argumentative with the network. Or maybe he gets replaced by Gigi [a sympathetic writer on 'Room and Board'], who turns out to be worse than he was."
There aren't any more writing jobs on Kudrow's career horizon, she said. She's convinced that no one believes she was an equal writing partner with King. She pointed to a one-sided telephone conversation she heard King having with a studio executive praising his work on "The Comeback":
" 'Well, we wrote it together,' " Kudrow recalled King saying. " 'No. No. Lisa and I wrote it together.... No, we sat side by side. Yes, but I'm telling you, Lisa and I wrote this together.' "
No matter, Kudrow said. "It won't keep me from writing."Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Alyse Lahti Johnston: Kind of a Badass!by Free Britney at . Comments
Alyse Lahti Johnston, Tiger Woods' new girlfriend, has reportedly been dating (sorry, "having a good time" with) the golfer for several weeks now.
The pair was spotted cruising on Woods' yacht in North Palm Beach, where Alyse is said to be getting her MBA and trying to make the LPGA tour.
She's the stepdaughter of Alastair Johnston, the former vice chairman of sports management giant IMG, which has represented Tiger since 1996.
Like Tiger, Alyse Lahti Johnston has overindulged her cravings.
Alastair introduced Alyse Lahti Johnston, 22, to Woods, 35. It's not quite clear when that took place, but what is clear is that she's a jock - and badass.
Alyse was busted on suspicion of DUI in October, although she was only charged with reckless driving when the case ended up in court in December.
She pleaded no contest. A judgement was withheld pending completion of a victim awareness program and an educational course in DUI prevention.
Ordered to obtain a substance-abuse evaluation and given probation, Alyse and Tiger luckily have more in common than inopportune traffic incidents.
She's a sports fanatic, excelling in college volleyball and golf.
Johnston was a key player on the University of New Hampshire's women's volleyball team. She later transferred to and graduated from Ohio State.
Now, she is reportedly training for the LPGA Tour while earning her MBA at Florida's Northwood University. She's certainly got genetics going for her.
Alyse Johnston's biological father is former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jeff Lahti, who remarried after splitting up with hers mother, Jennifer.
So are she and Tiges serious? One of Alyse's pals said:
"She sent a BBM to a mutual friend of ours saying she didn't consider herself Tiger Woods' girlfriend. They were just having a good time hooking up."
Hey, whatever works. Hopefully Elin Nordegren doesn't get wind of this. Then again, compared to recent news about her former spouse ...
She best watch out for Melissa Reid, 23, pro golfer. Wants to be the "female Tiger Woods" and ain't bad looking.
What is with the smear tactics on a private citizen who happens to know Tiger - what garbage this is. According to her stepfather THEY ARE NOT DATING - get your story straight.

Unknown Prophets - New Day
Artist: Unknown Prophets
Producer: Unknown Prophets
Album: WP2
Avg Rating: 4.8 ( 14 votes )
There's two types of "feel good" music: the kind that instigates that willful hedonism in us all and the kind that offers light, even a little hope. MaD SoN and Big Jess travels the latter with Unknown Prophets latest track New Day. Giving you automatic playback of classic hip-hop sounds through a DJ Premier-esque beat, the team takes turns describing the events that brought them to the point of dropping WP2, just over a decade from the release of their first album, World Premiere. Staying true to the style and sound that made them a recognizable group in the underground hip-hop world, this self-produced single layers multiple bass patterns over a variety of music styles, ranging from orchestra to soul samples to hip-rock, making for a production that speaks to their musical acquisition over the past fifteen years. The song shows faith, a little something that everybody could use these days. Unknown Prophets will celebrate the release of WP2 on 11/11/11 at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis.

Japan Breaking News: Japan to Let Carriers Remove 787 Emergency Beacons
Fri, Jul 19, 2013 12:28 PM EDT 0:51 Wochit
Aviation regulators will allow Boeing 787 Dreamliners to operate in Japan without locator beacons which have been identified by British investigators as a likely source of a fire on board one of the aircraft in London. Steam is rising from a destroyed building that houses a reactor at Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the operator of the plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co, said. Sprint?s new unlimited wireless plan, announced last week after its $21.6 billion acquisition by Japan?s SoftBank, did not deliver the aggressive price cuts that some analysts had expected. But cheaper plans could be coming.

The story of pahoehoe
This is really a fascinating photo. Did you ever think that a chain link fence would hold up against lava? Of course, given enough time, the fence isn't going to hold up, but this photo illustrates some of the most interesting behaviors of pahoehoe lava flows like those that are migrating through Pahoa on the big island of Hawaii right now. Most people are familiar with pahoehoe lava based on the wrinkled surface textures, like those in the foreground of … Continue reading
Supervolcano blast would blanket U.S. in ash
A new simulation illustrates the explosiveness of the volcano that lurks beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Around 640,000 years ago, the volcano blew its top and coated North America with roughly 1,000 cubic kilometers of ash, enough to fill Lake Erie twice over. A simulation of the eruption described August 27 in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems reveals that a similar outburst today would bury Billings, Mont., in more than a meter (about 40 inches) of volcanic glass shards and pulverized … Continue reading
Where does desert sand come from?
Sand is a great traveller. Go to the seaside for the day and it'll ride home on your shoes or sneak into your picnic sandwiches. You may wonder, as you shake sand from your bag on the beach: 'where did all this sand come from and how long's it been here?' Dr Pieter Vermeesch and colleagues had the same question about the sand in the Namib Sand Sea – one of the world's oldest and largest sand deserts. We know little … Continue reading

Mystery solved: 'Sailing stones' of Death Valley seen in action for the first time
Racetrack Playa is home to an enduring Death Valley mystery. Littered across the surface of this dry lake, also called a "playa," are hundreds of rocks — some weighing as much as 320 kilograms (700 pounds) — that seem to have been dragged across the ground, leaving synchronized trails that can stretch for hundreds of meters. What powerful force could be moving them? Researchers have investigated this question since the 1940s, but no one has seen the process in action … Continue reading

Devils Tower
Devils Tower is anigneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,114 feet (1,559 m) above sea level. Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (545 ha). In recent years, about 1% of the Monument's 400,000 annual visitors climbed Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques. The Arapaho, Crow, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Lakota, and Shoshone tribes had cultural … Continue reading

Volcanic rocks are born as lavas or layers of ash, and stack up eruption after eruption, sometimes thick enough to form islands such as Japan and Iceland (in the featured image) on the mid Atlantic ridge. Much of the rock in the latter is basaltic, but gets transformed after its birth into a variety of chewed up and brightly coloured rock remnants. As ground or sea water percolates into the lava, it interacts with the magma or pressure heated rocks … Continue reading
Viruses Make Zombies of Deep Sea Vent Bacteria
Viruses hijack bacteria that feed on sulfur-spewing vents on the ocean's floor and then reprogram the bacteria's DNA, a new study finds, essentially brainwashing the bacteria to devour more of the chemicals erupting from the vents. The bacteria then burn up their stored sulfur reserves faster. These overeating zombie bacteria create excess energy that the viruses use to reproduce, until the bacteria burst and release a fresh wave of virus particles. Microbiologists knew that surface-dwelling viruses could take over bacteria that … Continue reading

Unique Mineral Discovered In Australia
A previously unknown mineral has been discovered in a remote location in Western Australia. The mineral, named putnisite, appears purple and translucent, and contains strontium, calcium, chromium, sulphur, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, a very unusual combination. While dozens of new minerals are discovered each year, it is rare to find one that is unrelated to already-known substances. "Most minerals belong to a family or small group of related minerals, or if they aren't related to other minerals they often are to a … Continue reading

Moeraki Boulders
The Moeraki Boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders lying along a stretch of Koekohe Beach on the wave-cut Otago coast of New Zealand between Moeraki and Hampden. They occur scattered either as isolated or clusters of boulders within a stretch of beach where they have been protected in a scientific reserve. The erosion by wave action of mudstone, comprising local bedrock and landslides, frequently exposes embedded isolated boulders. These boulders are grey-colored septarian concretions, which have been exhumed from … Continue reading
Scientists reconstruct ancient impact that dwarfs dinosaur extinction blast
Piture this: A massive asteroid almost as wide as Rhode Island and about three to five times larger than the rock thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs slams into Earth. The collision punches a crater into the planet's crust that's nearly 500 kilometers (about 300 miles) across: greater than the distance from Washington, D.C. to New York City, and up to two and a half times larger in diameter than the hole formed by the dinosaur-killing asteroid.

The study highlights the importance of rift orientation relative to extension direction as key factor deciding whether an ocean … Continue reading

The oldest rock ever found on Earth
Ancient zircon crystals discovered in Western Australia have been positively dated to 4.374 billion years, confirming their place as the oldest rock ever found on Earth, according to a new study. The research reported in the journal Nature Geoscience, means Earth began forming a crust far sooner than previously thought, following the giant impact event which created the Earth-Moon system 4.5 billion years ago. "That age is 300 million years older than the oldest previously dated age [of other rocks], and … Continue reading
Japan's new island grows and grows

3.5 Billion Year Old Life Found
Gloppy mats of microscopic life left the same signature on coastal and river bank sediments 3.48 billion years ago that they do today. Earth scientists recently discovered that signature, known as a "microbially induced sedimentary structure" (MISS), on rocks from 300 million years earlier than any previously known MISS fossils. To this day, MISS still forms in pools of stagnant water along rivers and lakes or in the muck of coastal mud flats. Complex communities of microorganisms form layers of … Continue reading

Sweet Potato Tarte Tatin Recipe
Nov 6, 2013 3:00 pm
A sweet autumn twist on a classic French dessert
Photo: Mark Shaw
Swap in sweet potatoes instead of apples to give a classic French dessert a Thanksgiving twist. The caramelized sweet potatoes will be sweet and slightly chewy with a soft center. Your guests will never know just how easy it was to throw together. Serve it with fresh whipped cream, ice cream or a spiked caramel drizzle for a dessert that looks as good as it tastes.
This recipe is from the Sunday Supper repertoire.
Servings: 6
1 1/2 pounds sweet potato, peeled, ends removed, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pinch sea salt
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place 3/4 cup of sugar in a cast-iron skillet and cover with 1/4 cup of water. Stir to make sure all of the sugar is wet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Keep the mixture covered until the syrup is clear and producing bubbles for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Uncover and cook until the sugar is a light butterscotch color and its temperature reaches 320 degrees, stirring constantly, then turn off the heat.
- When the temperature reaches 350 degrees, whisk in the butter, one piece at a time. Make sure each piece is incorporated before adding the next, then add the salt.
- Cover the caramel with the sliced potatoes, starting in the center and overlapping in a spiraling outward circle as you go. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the sweet potatoes are cooking evenly and not sticking, but be sure to return the pieces to the original configuration.
- Cover the pan with the puff pastry. Tuck in the edges around the potatoes and prick several times with a fork.
- Bake until the edges are light brown and the pastry is puffed and golden, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before inverting the pan onto a large plate, then cool for another 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Originally from China, kaki (Diospyros kaki) are common throughout southern and western Japan, and at this time of the year with the leaves fallen off the trees the orange fruit are very conspicuous.
Ama-gaki (甘がき) are the spherically-shaped fruits and can be enjoyed straight from the tree, but shibu-gaki (渋柿), the more oval-shaped fruit are too astringent to be eaten until they have been peeled, and hung in the sun to dry, when they become sweet like dried figs.
In this form they are known as hoshi-gaki (干し柿) and are a popular gift. Monkeys are particularly fond of kaki, and the two trees in my yard are constantly raided in the late summer and early fall.
