Baguettes have to be one of my favorite breads out there, especially if they are made well. The classic bread, a staple in some countries, is best served as is, by itself. With this easy homemade baguette recipe, you can enjoy a delicious, warm loaf right out of the oven. There are three qualifications in my book for what make a great baguette: the shape, the crust, and of course, the flavor.
So we head into the Test Kitchen and with only four ingredients and we get started on our baguette recipe. Bread baking is an art, one that we are constantly improving. It is incredible how different your results can vary when only using four ingredients.
Now, we don't exactly have a steam injected fire-brick heated oven. You know what we do have though? A Baking Steel. The steel in this area, provides a great crust building surface, and also gives us the heated surface area to produce our own steam in a home oven. Once you've placed your dough on the Steel, before closing the oven, quickly spray water onto the Steel. This will create a burst of steam.
Check it out....
-Chef Craig.
Demi-Baguettes (makes 3-16" breads)
Adapted from the Bouchon Bakery Cookbook
85 g AP flour
0.2 g instant yeast
85 g water (75 degrees)
125 g bread flour
125 g AP flour
0.7 g instant yeast
155 g water
5 g fine sea salt
1. For the polish, combine yeast and flour, slowly mix water. Sit out at room temp for two days in airtight container.
2. For dough mixing. Combine flour and yeast in mixer. Use half of your water to help get poolish out of container and add it to mixer. Mix on low for 3 minutes, gradually adding the rest of the water.
3. Scrape down the bowl and add in your salt. (Don't add it with dry ingredients. It will mess with the flour-water absorbtion.) Mix on low for 15 minutes.
4. Scrape down bowl and hook and place into oil sprayed bowl and cover.
5. Every hour for three hours, take dough out onto floured work suraface and fold it into itself 4 times.
6. After the last fold, portion your dough into 245g a piece and shape into long thing rolls. Let rest for 10 minutes.
7. Use a lame or razor blade and slice mark the top of your bread.
8. To bake, place in hot oven at 460 degrees. Before closing, quickly spray water onto steel to create a burst of stem. Bake time is about 18 minutes.

"Aside from some engine problems on Monday the trip so far has been really fun! The crew is super cool and the other kids here are all pretty nice (even if Jack and Aiden never stop telling their weird bird joke!) Tomorrow we're sailing to Cuttyhunk which is about 4-5 hours away. I'm not totally sure what we'll be doing there but it'll probably be something fun.
I've seen and heard a ton of things that remind me of my Mom, too. Whether it's been a word or a picture, I've just felt super nostalgic through this whole trip. I talked to my aunt on Tuesday night, and she said my Mom would've been wicked proud of me for going on this trip and getting out of my comfort zone, which made me so happy to hear. It's almost 10pm, so I think I'm going to hit the hay soon. We have to leave around 6:30am tomorrow anyways, so going to bed sounds like a great idea!"

For the fourth year in a row, we successfully put a turkey on the table for our family to enjoy. Hosting Thanksgiving is not a task one would normally volunteer for, but I believe the ability to pull off a day of cooking while entertaining both sides of our family is an important skill to master. I would say this year was the most successful yet! I followed Martha Stewart's recipe for the Perfect Turkey, which was lovely. The outer skin was a little tough, but I think I may have overcooked him slightly...
That's my family's Shiba, Milo, who made it to another holiday season. So thankful he got to spend some time, at his appropriate distance, with our pug Chloe. He secretly likes it.
For the first time, I actually was prepared in advance of the holiday (first time not working retail beforehand!). The prep work went as follows:
- Several Months Out: Communication with family that we will, yes, once again undertake the task of hosting Thanksgiving in our modest-sized townhouse
- 3 Weeks Out: Determine recipes (YAY Pinterest!) to create a good balance that will fulfill everyone's vision of the perfect Thanksgiving meal
- 2 Weeks Out: Reserve turkey and research the likelihood of finding exotic ingredients... research alternatives (always have a back-up plan!)
- 0.5 Weeks Out: Purchase all ingredients, record oven cooking time for all recipes, create timeline (yes, I make I timeline for anything possible)
- Thanksgiving Eve: Bath time for the turkey in the brine
- Thanksgiving: Wake up in enough time to prep the first item to go in the oven before the parade starts!
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a major tradition in our family; we have many. My brother and I both marched in the Seattle parade the day after Thanksgiving. Any excuse for festivities and merriment, we're there.
After dinner we played a card game that my hubby's family would play at family gatherings. It was the perfect way to end the day (almost) all together, while incorporating both family traditions (we lost my brother to tryptophan before dessert).
Our menu this year included:
- The Perfect Roast Turkey
- Gravy
- Mashed potatoes
- Stuffing with cranberries & apples
- Harvest mashed potatoes
- Orange ginger carrots
- Green beans with balsamic shallots
- Berry pie
- Pumpkin pie
- Roasted brie with cranberries & pistachios
- Spinach dip with homemade bread (so good, made by my mother-in-law)
- Deviled eggs
- Pickled asparagus, olives & pickles
I hope all of you had a warm holiday surrounded by loved ones. From my family to yours, happy holiday season. Let the seasonal music commence!

This inspired him to pursue writing and now he writes full-time.

Interiors: Modern, Masculine, and Eclectic
With renovations by Madrid-based architect Ignacio García de Vinuesa and interior designer Elisa Rodríguez, this home is the perfect compilation of old and new. The design team salvaged original architectural details, from the interior doors to ornate plaster work, while using modern furniture throughout. Final touches include a contemporary art collection and chocolate brown pine floors.
Aside from the stellar entry hall, the kitchen may be my favorite room, with its beautiful wood cabinetry (walnut, I believe) and traditional plasterwork. Though a contemporary space, it's warmed up by artwork, organic accessories and a quirky Serge Mouille light fixture.
The master bedroom is akin to a contemporary furniture showroom, featuring pieces by KA International, Philippe Starck, and Ligne Roset. The walls are covered in a braided vinyl and raw silk. It's the perfect masculine retreat!

If Danny Ainge doesn't trade the pick, freshman forwards Josh Jackson of Kansas and Jayson Tatum of Duke are strong candidates to be drafted third overall by the Celtics.
This much we know: Markelle Fultz won't be Celtic.
Everything else is subject to change.
Danny Ainge dealt the No. 1 pick in Thursday's NBA Draft to the 76ers for the No. 3 pick and a future first-round pick. That future pick will be a 2018 selection that Philadelphia acquired from the Lakers, as long as it ends up second, third, fourth or fifth overall. If not, then the Celtics will receive a 2019 first-round pick from Philadelphia or the pick the Sixers got from Sacramento Kings, whichever is better as long as it's not No. 1.
The Sixers will select Fultz, the 6-foot-4 guard from the University of Washington, with the No. 1 pick. What the Celtics do with the No. 3 pick remains to be seen. During a conference call on Monday to announce the trade, Ainge didn't rule anything out. The Celtics could include the No. 3 pick in another trade, this time for a veteran, such as Chicago wing Jimmy Butler. They could trade down in the draft for even more picks. Or they could keep the No. 3 pick and most likely select Kansas freshman forward Josh Jackson or Duke freshman forward Jayson Tatum.
Ainge said he and his staff were in unanimous agreement about making the deal.
"We've been evaluating these kids for a couple of years," Ainge said, "and we felt like it was very close, the top handful of players, and we still feel like that. We think there's a really good chance the player that we'll take at 3 was the same player that we would have taken at 1. So this was a great opportunity to acquire an impactful asset."
The Lakers have long been expected to take UCLA freshman guard Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick, but some believe they now could be leaning toward Jackson, whom they've worked out twice. If the Lakers take Jackson, the Celtics will likely take Tatum. If the Lakers take Ball, the Celtics will have their choice of Jackson or Tatum. They're not expected to take Ball. Ainge said he had a couple of guys in mind for the No. 3 pick and expected at least one of them to be available.
The Celtics worked out Tatum on Monday and Ainge said he hopes to have Jackson in for a workout on Tuesday, but he didn't want to say much else about either of them.
"I think they're both terrific players," Ainge said. "I'll say that, but I don't really want to get into any more details based on their workouts. I like both of those kids. I think they're both terrific talents."
Jackson and Tatum are both 6-foot-8 and weigh a little more than 200 pounds. Their stats last winter were similar. Jackson averaged 16.3 points and 7.4 rebounds while Tatum averaged 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds. Nevertheless, they're different kinds of players.
Jackson, 20, is more athletic and explosive. In that regard, he's more like Jaylen Brown, who the Celtics took with the No. 3 pick last year. Jackson is also the better defender. One draft expert called him the best defender in this year's draft class. He plays more physical and has more court vision and passing ability.
The knocks on Jackson are his poor shooting mechanics and his 56.6-percent foul shooting.
Jackson also was charged in March with one count of criminal property damage after allegedly vandalizing the car of a Kansas women's basketball player in December.
Jackson agreed to take an anger management course, perform community service, abstain from alcohol for a year, undergo substance abuse evaluation and write a letter of apology. Upon completion of this diversion program, the case against Jackson will be dismissed.
Tatum, 19, is a year younger than Jackson. He's not as athletic or as adept on defense, but he has better footwork and is the more polished scorer with a top-notch, step-back jumper. Tatum is also a better ball-handler. So far, he's been more of a mid-range shooter than a 3-point shooter (34.2 percent). Like Jackson, his shooting mechanics need work, but he's a far better foul shooter (84.9 percent).
Lastly, Tatum appears to be the more poised player of the two. On Saturday, Jackson took an apparent dig at Fultz, who averaged 23.2 points for 9-22 Washington, by tweeting, "lol, anybody with the smallest bit of talent can look good and lose. It's not that hard." Jackson deleted the tweet later that day.
Ainge may have agreed with Jackson about Fultz.
If the Celtics keep the No. 3 pick, whoever they select had better be as good as or better than Fultz.
"We'll all be judged on days like this," Ainge said, "and I'm not afraid of that."
— Bill Doyle writes for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette of GateHouse Media.

By Tom Ehrich
Donald Trump's call for barring Muslims at the border comes close to shouting "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater. Many people were already afraid and looking for scapegoats. Naming Muslims as the dangerous "other" feeds that fire of fear.
This is the work of a demagogue who hopes to weave outlandish words into a wall of hatred, bigotry and anti-American dread.
It is also a profound trespass on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though white male evangelicals are said to be rallying to Trump's side, there is nothing remotely "Christian" or "evangelical" about him or his message.
Jesus was descended from a nation of refugees. They were the hated "other" in their day, as they still are today in large segments of the world. Jesus parents were oppressed subjects of a Roman dictator. God broke through the safety, comforts, convenience and privilege of both religion and empire to save humanity.
If Trump's evil nonsense had been applied then, Jesus and his parents would have been stopped at the Egyptian border and sent back to Galilee, as Anne Frank was once sent back to certain death.
The religious establishment of that day became sworn enemies of the Gospel. The mob of that day shouted for Jesus' death. His own followers stood back in fear for their own safety.
A frightened people are easily manipulated by bullies and blowhards. But a people following the Gospel know that Jesus gave only one new commandment. It wasn't to start a church, or to allocate power, or to fashion doctrines, or to launch a nation governed by religious law.
"Be not afraid."
That was his one new commandment. "Don't be afraid." "Fear not."
I don't expect any of our bigoted Presidential candidates to echo that commandment,. They are small people desperate for power. It will be up to Christians to speak the Gospel. Preachers, leaders, people in pews, Christians who have fallen away -- we all need to stand for the Good News of God in Christ.
Yes, there are some scary people out to do scary things to our nation. But collapsing in fear isn't the answer. Naming a hated "other" isn't the answer. The only helpful answer we have ever known in the United States is truly to be the "home of the brave."

If you want to keep up to date with the club, please subscribe to our weekly newsletter here.
If you live within a 100km radius of Sydney, the next step is to visit the clubhouse one Saturday and introduce yourself to anyone loitering around, and ask to speak to a committee member. The committee member will show you around and you will be welcomed to go out on the committee boat for racing, assuming you have the appropriate clothes (i.e. stuff that can get wet).
After visiting us, if you are serious about joining, and can sail a dinghy, you can hire a Laser to try racing with us. This is a "try before you buy" scheme to encourage people to join our club and class (it is not a commercial charter as we lose money on the scheme.)
After racing with DBSC as a visitor three (3) times, in toto and not per season, we would expect you to become a member if you want to continue to join our fleet on Saturday afternoons, or use any DBSC facilities. For more details on visiting, click here.
If you decide that you want to join us, then the next step is to apply for for membership (please fill out this form).
Membership and storage/rack allocation (initially and throughout the year) is at the absolution discretion of the Management Committee, and can be refused without reason. Sailing at DBSC is a lot of fun, so please come along and enjoy our culture.
Boat Racks are allocated on a "use it or lose it" basis. Newcomers are racked in the penthouses initially, but if you sail regularly and are an active member you can expect to be moved down to the more accessible racks. If you don't sail often, you'll move up. When the club's racks are fully occupied, members who don't sail will be asked to vacate their rack for the benefit of a sailor.

Keep in mind to hold a pair of disposable gloves with you in case you feel the urge to dumpster dive unexpectedly in the bins and skips!
To see pictures of a lot of the following vegetation and to be taught more about gardening and landscaping with native plants, go to the Folsom Native Plant Society Website, Seasonal Blooming Information or use a few of the links under to search out out if any of these crops are native in your space.
The most serious gardening I do would appear very unusual to an onlooker, for it includes hours of strolling round in circles, apparently doing nothing. Gardening organically is eco-pleasant; its good for the wildlife, its good for the atmosphere, and its good for you and your family if the greens picked contemporary from the garden (and full of vitamin) are ready and served healthily. Talking of time to plant, you should know when the first arduous frost will normally hit your space in order to know exactly when one of the best time to plant for fall gardening is. I like to recommend looking this up in a Farmer's Almanac.
Another approach to save cash is to frequent garage gross sales and estate gross sales for his or her used instruments. Since we now have a yard service in Florida that takes care of the landscaping, I've turned to container planting on my lanai to fulfill my gardening needs.
Each part is fastidiously written to help you start or continue gardening with a incapacity, and offers prime suggestions for every process, recommendation on the right way to take care and useful info on essentially the most appropriate tools and tools.

Tilt the camera sideways. The photo on the right is less flat and shows more of the sky, but still allows all three layers (hedge, trees, sky) to be seen. Also, try photographing side on from an angle, instead of front on, to create depth in your photos.
Move the camera around to best capture the subject and get more background in so it looks as though the background extends further than what it does. Left photo - get down low to create height. Middle photo - take from up high to show different angles. Right photo - 'off set' the subject to create interest, don't always place it in the middle. Off setting can actually make the subject stand out more than if it were in the middle, if it is done right.
Crop with the intention to change the mood or to convey a message. In this instance, the photo on the left gives the sense of long rolls of fabric and shows more of the continued pattern, hence giving more detailed information about the product type. However, the photo on the right gives a sense of having a tall, thick, abundant stash of fabric. This is a fairly simple example, but it can be used more effectively in different situations.
Crop to draw attention to certain parts of the photo. In the photo on the left, your eyes are drawn more to what the girl may be looking towards, whilst in the photo on the right, your eyes are drawn more towards the placement of her hands and what is in her lap.
Crop out some of the subject and place it so that it is not centred. Often your eyes find it easier to look at something off to the side rather than something in the middle. With the photo on the left, you look at the subject then scan the background. This is the last thing that your eye sees and seeing as there is a fair bit of background to look at, this is the last impression you take away from this photo. In the photo on the right, you see the background and subject at the same time, as their ratio is more balanced. You don''t need to scan the background.
I hope that you can use some of these tips and keep on playing and experimenting with your photo taking!

The baby boy found Saturday in a garbage bag behind a Kensington Avenue apartment building is in stable condition and breathing on its own, a spokesman for the Jersey City Medical Center said this morning.
The baby is in the Marie Guarini Mangin Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit at the hospital inside a chamber called a giraffe isolette, said JCMC spokesman Mark Rabson.
The isolette controls the temperature of the baby, lighting, monitors the baby's vital signs,and controls feeding, The baby is being fed intravenously, said Rabson.
The baby weighs 2.86 pounds and is appears to be between 11 and 12 weeks premature, Rabson said.
"The baby did not lose that much blood," Rabson said. "We don't think the baby was out there that long."
The baby was discovered Saturday around 3 p.m. by some boys who were playing in the yard. The boys called the super of the building, Arturo Rivas, who in turn summoned his wife, Rebecca Womers to the scene.
With no training in CPR, Womers, who has two daughters, said her "maternal instincts" kicked in.
Inside the garbage bag, Womers saw the baby covered in blood with its umbilical cord still attached and with its nose and mouth stuffed with tissue paper.
"I'm a mother and I said I have to get that stuff off the baby," Womers told The Jersey Journal. She immediately removed the tissues and started blowing oxygen into the baby's mouth.
"At that point the baby's left hand popped out," she said. "I put my hand out and the baby squeezed my finger."
Womers cleaned and cared for the child as she waited for EMS to arrive.
Rivas said this morning the family went to visit the baby yesterday afternoon but were denied access due to the ongoing investigation.
"They said the baby is stable. He looks like he is going to make it," said Rivas. "I thank God for that. We we were disappointed. I just wanted to lay my eyes on it and see that it was doing good."
Rivas described the baby as extremely tiny, light skin, and with a full mop of black hair. The race of the baby has not been determined.
Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Gene Rubino said this morning that the investigation into who abandoned the baby is ongoing. He declined to speak about charges, saying his office would wait for more information about the circumstances of the abandonment.
Rabson stressed that New Jersey has a "Safe Haven" law, which allows anyone to drop off a baby within 30 days its birth to a hospital, a police station, or a staffed firehouse without any questions being asked and no fear of being prosecuted.
"We were lucky this time," Rabson said about the baby boy found on Kensington Avenue. "The purpose of this law is so people don't abandon infants ... Maybe we can make something good out of a bad situation by publicizing this law."
The Kensington Avenue baby is currently considered a ward of the state, Rabson said.
Journal staff writer Rafal Rogoza contributed to this story.

Researchers claimed that parents could save themselves around £26,000 by shunning independent schools in favour of state primaries ranked among the top 10 per cent in the country.
The disclosure – in a study by the London School of Economics – comes amid a growing scramble to get into the best schools.
Figures suggest that more than 22,000 children across England will be forced to start at primary schools that parents refused to name on application forms this term because of a shortage of places.
The squeeze is being created by rising birth-rates combined with the effects of migration in some areas, it was claimed.
It has placed an ever greater premium on places at the very best state primary schools.
But today's study by the LSE's Centre for Economic Performance suggested that buying property in the catchment area of schools in the top 10 per cent of performers nationally was still cheaper than an independent education.
The study, by Dr Steve Gibbons, found that parents would be required to pay around £26,000 more than the local average to live close to a leading primary school.
The report said this was "about £3,000 a year if you decided to pay that amount off over the seven years of primary schooling on a five per cent mortgage interest rate", based on 2006 prices.
"By comparison, seven years of private schooling at the time would have cost an average of £3,800 per term or nearly £80,000," said the study, published in the CEP magazine, CentrePiece. "So state primary schools still look like a good deal for parents."
LSE researchers were among the first in the world to establish the link between school catchment areas and house prices.
A separate study earlier this year by the property website PrimeLocation.com found that prices surrounding the most sought-after primaries in England can be inflated by 42 per cent compared with others in the local area.
Houses in the catchment area of one Lancashire school sell for an average of £572,500 – around two-and-a-half times the cost of homes in the rest of the region

Eleven years ago an incident on the soccer pitch in Benghazi foreshadowed the Libyan revolution.
Spiegel's Juliane von Mittelstaedt describes what happened when Saadi Qaddafi's Al-Ahly Tripoli SC received too many favors from the ref in a match against Al-Ahly Benghazi SC:
"It was the typical story," [former player Chalifa Binsrati] says. "The opposing team was being awarded one penalty kick after another." In their everyday lives, the people of Benghazi were used to putting up with injustices. But now they had had enough.
"The entire stadium was against Saadi," Binsraiti says. "Everyone had a relative or a friend in prison, and everyone knew someone who had been killed or stripped of their property."
"Benghazi hated the Gadhafis," Binsraiti adds. "But, on that day, it hated Saadi in particular."
The men in the stadium began to boo, and the booing grew into a roar. A crowd of hundreds stormed the field and spilled out into the streets. They burned posters of Gadhafi and set the local office of the Libyan Football Federation on fire. At one point, someone dressed a donkey in a jersey with Saadi Gadhafi's number on it.
This soccer riot resulted in the imprisonment and torture of dozens of Benghazi players and fans. Their stadium was torn down and for years the club was disbanded.
In 2011 Benghazi was the city that Qaddafi theatened to destroy, prompting NATO intervention.
Some rebels reportedly wore Benghazi jerseys to the front line.

I just looked at the old folder on my flash disk, titled 'Shooting' and it apparently contains photos when I shot with my colleague fellas for our task, around October 2012. And out of all my iPod is playing MIKA- Stardust. And I suddenly feel so sad...
You know some of us might claim other people as our best friend, besties, or whatever people call it. But have you ever found someone, several people who is really has this 'bond'? They entertain us, tease us, understand us, picking a fight with us, laugh at bad and rough jokes, become a brothers, sisters, take care of each other like a real siblings...
I miss them. Back when I had my internship in Jakarta. I had to live with Sasya, one girl who's more childish than me (hehe sorry Sya :p) and we survived on living together in a small room in our dorm house. Remind each other to do prayer, woke each other up for Sahur, bought some meals for break fasting, must ride busway to go to the malls, toke a walk to the office, and etc. I really appreciate that you want to share with me, back then Say :)
Then my other half-soul, Tiko and Memel also had their internship in Jakarta. They're on a same office in Cilandak. We met several times for break fasting. I even slept once at Tiko and Azal's, then once at Memel's house. But then Tiko had to leave Jakarta first because she only had the program for a month. I seldom met memel but we used to keep contact with each other through message and twitter and call. Tiko and Memel was on my #1 list people i talked to if I wanted to share some stories or had some problems.
My other boys, Jaja, Dian, Brian and Vandi was in Jakarta too. They often came visit me, then had break fasting together near my office, took a walk to see my office, took care of me when I was sick or miss my home so badly.
Then came BIGthink with the additional Momo, Mba Ayu, Ririn, Amal, Nur, Miwa, and Ium, plus Ichi Hanna. We did two projects for 6 months. The first project was done in Nur's home and the other was in mine. Everyday woke up seeing the same faces on such an ugly position, here and there on the second floor of my home. When the documentary has finished and my home became quite again, I got this sad feelings back.
Now that our time together at campus has ended, I hope that we still remember each other on good or bad times. We still remember each other even when we've succeeded in our own way. We still remember each other even when we live apart. We still remember each other even if we meet other people whom we called 'best friend'...
I love you guys, forever and always. Always be my stardust?
Funny How the time goes rushing by
And all the little things we leave behind
But even any other thing i do,
is a little bit of me, a little bit of you
When will I see you again?
MIKA- Stardust

Lionel Messi is back to upstaging Cristiano Ronaldo again.
Messi broke Ronaldo's record for hat tricks in the Spanish league with his 24th treble — and 32nd in all competitions — in Barcelona's 6-1 thrashing of Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. That also meant Barcelona overtook Ronaldo's Real Madrid at the top of the league by one point, and put him level with his rival on 30 goals for the season in the competition — having trailed 25-13 in the scoring race through 15 rounds.
In MLS, Kaka scored in extra time of his MLS debut to give Orlando City a 1-1 with New York City F.C. in a game that featured both of the league's newest expansion teams.
In England, Liverpool was held scoreless in a draw with second-tier Blackburn in the FA Cup quarterfinals as the Premier League's in-form team lost its attacking sparkle. In Italy, Roma's hopes of catching league leader Juventus took a blow when it drew 0-0 at Chievo Veroina.
Lionel Messi second-half hat trick in the win over Rayo Vallecano made sure Barcelona capitalized on Madrid's latest slip — a 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao on Saturday — to move one point ahead at the top of the table. The fierce rivals are set to meet in the Catalan capital in two weeks.
Luis Suarez scored twice and Gerard Pique got the other goal.
"Suarez plays well with Messi and is giving us more and more," Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. "It's clear they have a special connection."
Messi's treble in a 13-minute span took his season tally overall to 41 goals in 38 games in all competitions, as he reached the 40-goal mark for a sixth consecutive season.
While Barcelona rose past Madrid, Atletico Madrid's title defense was dented after it conceded a late goal in a testy 1-1 draw at home with Valencia.
Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi headed in a cross that goalkeeper Miguel Moya misjudged in the 78th. Jorge "Koke" Resurreccion scored for Atletico in the 33rd.
Orlando City's Kaka scored in extra time to give the Lions a 1-1 tie with New York City FC in the expansion teams' first Major League Soccer game Sunday in front of an announced crowd of 62,510.
New York appeared to be to be on its way to the victory in the 76th minute when Mix Diskerud took a pass from David Villa just outside 18-yard box, pushed it with one touch inside the box and rifled a curling shot that sneaked inside the far post.
But in the 91st minute, Orlando was awarded a free kick after Kevin Molino was fouled 10 yards outside the box. On the ensuing play, Kaka got it past Josh Saunders on a deflection off New York's wall.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber called Sunday's turnout "unbelievable" and said that the league should announce its next round of expansion within 45 days. It was previously announced that new franchises from Atlanta and Los Angeles would join the league in 2017.
Blackburn forced a replay against Liverpool after a 0-0 draw in the FA Cup quarterfinals as the Premier League team struggled to break the visitors down.
Blackburn dominated parts of the first half after an eight-minute delay early in the game following an injury to Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel in an aerial challenge. Skrtel was wearing a neck brace as he was carried off on a stretcher but Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said the Slovakia center back was "fine."
Liverpool pressed in the closing stages, with Jordan Henderson going close, but didn't play the free-flowing football that has helped the team remain unbeaten in the league since mid-December.
Roma was held 0-0 at Chievo Verona in a Serie A match which was marred by a gruesome injury to youngster Federico Mattiello.
Roma's eighth draw in nine league matches left it eight points behind Juventus, which hosts Sassuolo on Monday.
The 19-year-old Mattiello, who is on loan at Chievo from Juventus, was stretchered off in tears after breaking his leg in a clash with Radja Nainggolan early on.
Video images from the game showed the bottom half of the midfielder's right leg bending and initial reports said he broke both his tibia and fibula.
Napoli, meanwhile, remained four points behind after squandering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at home to Inter Milan.
Marek Hamsik headed in Henrique's cross six minutes after the interval before Gonzalo Higuain doubled Napoli's advantage from 25 yards shortly after the hour mark.
But Rodrigo Palacio pulled one back and Inter leveled three minutes from with a penalty from Mauro Icardi.
Elsewhere, crisis-hit Parma played again after postponing two matches. The financially-stricken club, which drew 0-0 at home to Atalanta, has been sold twice this season and wages have gone unpaid for months.
Alexandre Lacazette struck twice and rising star Nabil Fekir added two expert finishes as Lyon won 5-1 at Montpellier to reclaim top spot from Paris Saint-Germain in the closely-contested French title race.
After Lucas Barrios gave Montpellier the lead, Lyon scored twice in a 10-minute spell through Lacazette's penalty and a fine goal from Fekir, whose second goal was even better.
Former France midfielder Yoann Gourcuff was involved in the first three goals, but Fekir stole the limelight.
Midfielder Corentin Tolisso made it 4-1 before Lacazette volleyed in his 23rd goal of the season, with both goals in injury time. All of Lyon's scorers came through the club's youth academy.
Fifth-place Saint-Etienne continued its push for a European spot after beating struggling Lorient 2-0 at home, while Lille's 1-0 win at Guingamp moved it up to eighth spot.
Cologne took advantage of poor defending by Eintracht Frankfurt to win their Bundesliga match 4-2.
Cologne finished with 10 men but had earlier made sure of its second home win of the season.
Eintracht central defender Carlos Zambrano appeared to be fouled on Cologne's first goal, as the ball fell kindly to Deyverson, who scored his first league goal by lobbing goalkeeper Kevin Trapp in the first half.
Alexander Meier equalized for Eintracht, but Marcel Riss, Yuya Osako and Athony Ujah added further goals for Cologne.

The title of my blog is things that matter to me. And it's all been quite serious of late. This post, in contrast, is really just a short story about one of the great loves of my life – Berlin. It's quite long and a bit niche but here goes.

Chapter 1
Six months after finishing college, Ginger Blair was completely stuck. It was harder to find work than she imagined and she didn't have the money or interest in going to graduate school. Ginger had never really dreamed of putting her degree to use anyways. She wanted to do something bigger and better than being chained to academia. She had dreamed of being a model most recently, not necessarily a runway model, but at least good enough for a boutique or modestly-sized clothing line to use her for their catalogs. It wasn't like she was unfit for modeling anyways.
Ginger was five feet eleven inches. She had rich henna colored skin and an amazing body without a hint of extra fat on her belly. She had medium sized breasts and a round booty. Ginger knew she had the body of a video vixen, except a little less thick. But where she lived, there were no opportunities for a girl who looked like her. Despite the fact that she felt her modeling dreams were hopeless, Ginger still took impeccable care of her appearance. Her "signature look" was always her hair. She wore it differently nearly every week. She went from faux locs to natural hair to waist length weave at a moment's notice. Wherever she went, all eyes were on her hair; with people desperate to either copy her or praise her bold new look.
Looking good had no bearing on Ginger's current burgeoning problem: she was unemployed and her student loan bills were soon to be approaching fast and furious. Ginger knew if she worked as a waitress, she was unlikely to make enough to pay the bills. So she was trying desperately to get a job that paid better. It was more difficult than she could have imagined. At least she didn't have to worry about rent…
Ginger's mom was a professional escort. As a single mother it was the only thing that had allowed her to provide for Ginger's every need. Because of her lifestyle, she was always traveling around to meet various clients. Unfortunately even if she made a lot of money, Ms. Blair was unable to support Ginger completely. Back in 2006, her mother had a major disease that they were still paying hospital bills for. These bills made Ginger's student loan look miniscule. But it wasn't miniscule to Ginger.
The only light at the end of the tunnel was her long distance boyfriend Tobias Berkowicz. They had never met but he had promised Ginger that someday, he would come east to be with her. Ginger was far more attractive than Tobias, but he seemed to be the only guy who had ever really cared for her as a person and not just for her looks. Tobias was thirty, a full eight years older than Ginger.
He tried never to make their age difference a problem but Ginger could tell that he was desperate for marriage, children and to have a life she wasn't ready to lead. Tobias was also "culturally Jewish" and his mother strongly disapproved of his long distance relationship with a "gentile" - as she ever-so-kindly referred to Ginger. It was an okay relationship, and most of all, it felt totally safe. Ginger wasn't sure she was in love with Tobias, but she did really care for him, and at this point in her life she felt like that was enough. Plus, she was unemployed and Tobias had a job working for his father. He had a lot of potential to take care of her.
Of course, Ginger's best friend Latika absolutely hated Tobias's guts. She thought he was a "balding little chubster with a small dick". Ginger thought Latika was too obsessed with sex. Her connection to Tobias had nothing to do with his baldness, his chub or his penis (which Ginger had never even seen). Latika Sethi was Ginger's Indian American bestie. They'd been the only women of color together in their school's theater group and they'd taken to each other like two strips of velcro.
Latika was short with a voluptuous body and waist length black hair. Her family was somewhat traditional, but they'd eventually come to accept Latika for the out and proud lesbian that she was. Latika had an extremely feminine style and attitude, so the misinformed tended to believe she was straight at first glance. In fact, Ginger was the first person who Latika had come out to and since Ginger had encouraged her to embrace who she was, she took that advice to heart. Since high school, Latika had slept with over forty women and she had a string of ladies she cycled through who she called her 'harem'.
When Ginger's doorbell rang, she knew it was Latika right away. That girl was so damned impatient! The doorbell rang at least three times before Ginger could even get up to answer it. She opened the door and Latika burst into her house screaming greetings and blessings. Latika hugged her tightly as if they hadn't just seen each other the day before. "Ginger my beautiful princess! Ah!! How are you sweetheart?" Latika squealed. Ginger hugged her back, rolling her eyes at Latika's over the top behavior.
"I'm alright girl. Let's head up to the living room to talk. My mom isn't here this weekend," said Ginger.
The two sat in the comfortable chairs of the house's living room and immediately poured glasses of wine. Being able to drink freely still felt like a novelty to Ginger, only twenty-two. Latika was slightly older, but she was always ready to drink.
Once they sat down, Ginger began to tell her friend about her day.
"... I have no idea how the hell I'm going to pay this student loan Latika. I would do y'know, some kind of sex work but it feels wrong. My mother hustled, she's still hustling so I wouldn't have to live like her," Ginger finished.
"There's no shame in it K," Latika said, whipping out her phone and taking a few selfies. #DrinkingWithBae
"I know… but I feel like I should be able to do more for myself," Ginger sighed, taking a sip of her moscato.
"Girl, I know what you mean. Aaand I don't. Money's out there just waiting to be made! I needed some extra cash so I hit up Mike. I've been selling for him to college kids around here. Bam. Money," Latika said, downing her entire glass and pouring herself another one.
"Latika, you don't mean…" Ginger hesitated.
"No hard stuff. Only ADD meds, Xanax. Nothing that they wouldn't find from someone else if I weren't around. It's good money," Latika shrugged.
"It's illegal," Ginger said, hating how she always seemed to be lecturing Latika about one thing or another. It was like the girl knew nothing about how risky the world was.
"Come on K. You know how hard it is," Latika pleaded. She felt bad that Ginger always worried so much about her.
"I know. Just be careful. You don't know what that life could lead to," Ginger replied.
"You need to get laid girl," Latika said, drinking a bit more. Maybe that was why her friend was so uptight.
"Latika?! I have a boyfriend remember?" Ginger said.
"Baldie ain't shit," Latika scoffed.
"I think I love him," Ginger said weakly.
"You don't sound too confident. Girl, you should download this app Sparks and get yourself a little something something to pass the time while you wait for the old guy to finally decide you're worth moving cross country for," Latika said.
Ouch. That hit Ginger where it hurt. The entire time she thought she was lukewarm about Tobias, maybe he was the one who was lukewarm about her. Latika always knew what to say to spur her into action. The two drank, and Latika began singing a lullaby to Ginger in Hindi, something from a Bollywood film. They laughed together, sang and downed drinks until well into the night. Latika needed to go home to put her younger siblings to bed and to help her parents close up shop so she left Ginger's house before her tipsiness had worn off.
Ginger was alone and a little drunk. She started to consider the advice that Latika had given her. Should she really be out there exploring her options? What was she really missing out on? Most men her age didn't have any ambition. Their lives weren't together at all. Ginger realized the irony behind her reasoning. She was arguably far behind. Just like these men she denigrated mentally. Ginger figured, what could it hurt. She could go out on a couple dates, maybe play the field. If things looked much better out there, she and Tobias could respectfully part ways. No harm done.
Sparks was a popular dating app that everyone around her seemed to be using. It was "the straight version of Grindr" according to Latika. The app uploaded your social media profile and you could swipe left on guys you hated and swipe right on guys you liked. If you matched up, then they might message you or you could message them. The concept seemed a little shallow to Ginger, but in the game of appearances, she never seemed to lose.
She uploaded her best profile pictures, where she truly looked like a model and not just a wannabe and she figured what the hell. It was a Friday night so the app seemed abuzz with activity. She matched with a few guys who weren't that attractive, but it was an ego boost just the same.
A notification flashed on Ginger's phone. It was an email letting her know what her student loan bill would be that month. When Ginger saw the number, her mood spiraled downward into an immediate depression. It was well over five hundred dollars.
How the fuck am I supposed to come up with this money? She wondered what Latika would do under the same circumstances. Latika would certainly not allow herself to panic. She deserved to enjoy the night alone for a change.
Ginger tried to push the number out of her head and return to her dating app. She felt so wrong but she couldn't help look at the veritable buffet of men before her eyes. And chances were, if she liked them they would like her too.
While scrolling through the profiles, Ginger felt as if she were slipping into a state of hypnosis. Nope. Nope. Nope. None of them seemed to have any appeal to her. All of a sudden Ginger came across one profile that stuck out to her. She felt magnetically drawn to this man for some reason and he was online right now. She'd clearly never met him before, but he seemed somehow familiar. His name was Zachary Grunewald. He had light brown hair and lightning-blue eyes; he looked like a young Leonardo DiCaprio. Maybe that was why he looked so familiar. Ginger swiped right to indicate her interest.
Her heart beating faster as she waited to see if they were a match. Why did she care so much? She was beginning to get distracted as she continued swiping through other profiles when she saw a notification pop up. You and Zachary have matched! Modern romance was funny. Ginger wasn't sure if she should message him first or not.
But she didn't have to wait.
"Hey, After checking out your profile I would like to get to know you better. I would love to call you and see if we are compatible," the message read.
Confident, short and sweet. Ginger was instantly hooked. She couldn't wait to receive a call from Zachary. He seemed antithetical to her boyfriend already. The fact that she was thinking that way should have told Ginger that it was already over between her and Tobias. She gave Zachary her number and waited eagerly for him to call her.
Within a few moments her phone rang.
"Hello, Is this Ginger Blair?" he asked.
"Yes. I assume this is Zachary?" Ginger responded.
That was all it took. They spent the rest of the evening on the phone flirting, chatting and getting to know each other better. It was the best and most unconventional first date that Ginger ever had.

Science Behind Sweat
Making complex simpler. Rx Analytics came to us with a pretty challenging problem– take how users would normally log their complex CrossFit workouts on a piece of paper or whiteboard and create an interface and experience that allows them to do it digitally so the stats can be analyzed. If you've ever done CrossFit, you'll know it can get pretty complex.
We mapped out an extremely complex app that packed every feature an avid fitness enthusiast would need to track their workouts and see their progress. With that in place, we were able to build out a truly easy-to-use interface that exceeded all expectations, that at the core simplified the of complexity workout tracking and analysis.
Rx Analytics walked away with a product that was remarkable. Remarkable in the sense it was worth remark. Science Behind Sweat changed workout tracking and analysis, one user at a time.

text: "I was born and raised in Rockville, Maryland. My parents are from El Salvador so I have always considered myself Salvadoran-American. I like to say that I was always meant to go to Georgetown. I did not know Georgetown existed until the summer before my senior year in high school until I participated in a college preparation program. I knew that Georgetown's Jesuit values were consistent with mine and the proximity to home would be helpful for me and my parents. From then on, I made sure to know everything that was going on campus; I remember watching an event on Afghan Women's Future where John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Bush spoke and it reinforced that I had to be at Georgetown. When I received my acceptance letter, I was with my dad. It was one of the happiest moments in my life because I realized that it did not matter where I started, but it is about overcoming barriers and being persistent in what you believe. I hope that me being at Georgetown can inspire others to believe that they can achieve whatever they are determined to achieve, regardless of the amount of challenges one is presented with."

It all began on a sunny spring day in Paris (as most good stories do). My beloved husband and I had been married for 2 1/2 years, and were on the obligatory "Europe before you have kids" trip. Prior to this trip, we had intentionally and carefully avoided getting pregnant. Both of us adore kids, but we are both Type A to the max, so needless to say-- we had a plan.Read More
Hi, I'm Single Joy.
I've never been on a date. Well, not like a date date. You know what I mean. Boy meets girl. Boy is taken with girl. Boy asks girl on date.
Girl says yes.Read More
Oh no! I'm having a feeling!!
If you're an 80's kid like I am, then when I belt out the lyrics "Joy and pain, like sunshine and rain," you'll channel your inner Rob Base and start singing along. What a jam that is!! The other day I went and saw the new Pixar movie Inside Out with my kids. I LOVED IT!! As a life coach I was soaking up all the emotional metaphors they were throwin' down. After watching a movie that shows why all emotions are important and how sadness and joy go hand in hand, I couldn't help but sing those words out as I left the theater "Joy and pain, like sunshine and rain....pump it up, pump it up!"Read More

Subscribe To Rachel Weisz Finds Breaking Up Hard To Do In Steamy 360 Clips Updates
I've already subscribed
Today, as Channing Tatum's salacious stripper flick Magic Mike struts into theaters, the web is flooded with related headlines and plenty of pictures of the pec-tacular male cast. Seeing the fervor that Magic Mike is causing among female audiences, the savvy marketing folks over at Magnolia are taking advantage, choosing today to unveil a steamy scene from Fernando Meirelles's ensemble drama 360 that flaunts some man flesh of its own to promote the pic's iTunes release.
Two-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) wrote the complicated interwoven stories of several individuals with different backgrounds but unexpected personal connections. The follow-up to Meirelles's underwhelming drama Blindness, 360 boasts an incredible cast that also includes Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law, and Ben Foster. We shared the first trailer earlier this month, and now Vulture's got a clip from Rachel Weisz's arc that it so too hot to be SFW—thanks to the gorgeous and fiercely flirtatious Juliano Cazarré. See it here.
Another clip from this mysterious feature focuses on the plotline of Hopkin's character, who becomes enchanted with a young Brazilian woman, played by Gabriela Marcinkova.
And this last clip shows Foster playing a convict recently released, who also crosses paths with Marcinkova's lovely traveler.
Despite it's trio of clips and kinetic trailer, it's difficult to see how these pieces fit together, making the mystery of 360 all the more enticing.
360 is now available on iTunes an VOD; a limited theatrical release will follow on August 3rd. To learn more about the film, check out our Blend Film Database.

That No One Has Murdered This Cat Yet Means We Are Basically Saints
Oskar is the worst cat I have ever owned, and Aidan (aka "Palinode") and I agree that anyone else would have given him back to the humane society ages ago. We love the little pest, though, and we've kept loving him for nearly ten years now. Or it might be Stockholm Syndrome.
Oskar had a rough start in life — we think he was seriously abused by a woman before he ended up at the humane society, judging by his involuntary, poop-related reaction to the sound of high heels on hard floors — so he suffered extreme anxiety when we first got him. He would perch on top of the bookshelves, howling and panting with drawn lips, or he'd throw himself around in the tub and emit a blood-curdling yodel. He has calmed down a bit since then, but he still gets meds on his bad days so he can relax into a good cuddle and a nap.
Despite our patience, love, good drugs, and time, though, he hasn't given up his signature caterwaul. Nothing fixes it. I know I have already gone over his generally poor behaviour here and here and here and here and here, but he still persists, and we still don't murder him. Instead, we patiently attempt to guide his behaviour in new directions, despite the last ten years being clear proof of its futility, and then we give him neck massages, because the poor dear has such a stressful life.
If you lived with this cat, you would be wailing to the heavens why, why, why have you made this terrible creature and looking into the possibility of feline laryngectomy. Aidan and I, on the other hand, just shout SWEET JEEBUS WILL YOU SHUT UP occasionally and then give him some cream to make him sleepy.
I think the point of all this is that Aidan and I are obviously saints. We should have our images laminated onto patron saint candles.
Prayer to Saints Palinode and Schmutzie For Oskar
Good Saints Palinode and Schmutzie, you love Oskar.
To you he is your "boo bear".
Help us to follow your example
of treating every living thing with kindness,
even those who caterwaul.
Palinode and Schmutzie, Patron Saints of Oskar, watch over him,
and keep him safe and healthy and give him the good drugs.
I will indeed continue to call Oskar my boo bear and sneak him extra treats and give him the good drugs, and he will continue to return the favour by coming to me with all his whiny needs on an hourly basis.
Basically, it works like this: I get to be a martyr for love, and Oskar gets extra things like pork fat. It's win-win.
PS. I just remembered that Oskar is only the second-worst cat I have ever owned. The absolute worst cat I ever owned was a little, grey kitten named Max who insisted on inhaling cigarette smoke, attacked guest's genitals, and dropped onto people's heads from open doors so he could gouge out their eyes. He was inherently broken.

Caravan Brunch & the Olympics/
There is something about a Sunday in London, especially if its a sunny Sunday.
This one started with pouring rain, but we got lucky to catch one of the brand new London buses from hour doorstep to the breakfast place.
We absolutely loved the design and feel of them, though I know they are not every ones cup of tea.
After getting soaked on the way we couldn't wait for the food at the highly recommended and cozy coffee roastery and restaurant Caravan. Our flatmate Calvin and also Adrian and Alex were joining us, it's always so much fun to hang out with these guys.
We had to wait 45 min for a table, but the team at Caravan was kind enough to offer us a seat at the bar, so that we could start warming up with one of the best coffees we have ever had in London.
The food was well worth the wait! Good start of the day.
By the time we finished brunch the sun came out and we all went for a long walk over to Brick Lane, buying myself a new pair of recently lost sunglasses.
We spent the afternoon hanging out in Haggerston Park, where they are showing the Olympic events on a big screen. We weren't organized enough to actually get tickets a year in advance to see anything live but then, hey, we are not that much into sports anyway. But we had fun cheering with all the excited people and watching the opening ceremony the other night.
We finished the day with cheap and cheerful Pizza at the Stingray Globe Cafe.
I wish I had every Sunday off! Thanks everyone for joining in and making it such a fun day.
I just realized how much I love everything about blogging, taking photographs, editing them, I love the writing and text editing just as much as sharing everything with others & reading YOUR blogs!
We are so happy to have you here. What do you like most about blogging?

We're growing up.
After serving more than 100 school districts, non-profits and small businesses since we opened our doors in 2014, we have found many of our clients need more than just video. Our current name, Capture Video, doesn't fully explain what we can do.
Today, we officially launch our new name, Captivate Media + Consulting. With the new name, we are also announcing a more comprehensive list of services:
- Communications Strategy
- Photography
- Graphic Design
- Video Production
- Motion Graphic Design
Your same friendly team of Jake, Jenna, Will and Morgan isn't going anywhere…you'll just be able to see a few more of their skills in action.
We're pretty excited for this launch, as we have been working behind-the-scenes for more than six months to prepare. Our website and email addresses will stay the same for now. We will be transitioning these items soon.
Check out the video below to learn more about our decision and some of the thoughts behind our logo design.
