I love riding in the snow, so this morning's ride was blissful compared to yesterday's homeward commute. Shortly after hitting the road, though, things were apparently less than peachy keen. Where do I begin?
My first mistake was not bringing the bike in last night. This would have either allowed it to dry or at least kept the moisture from freezing.
My front brake. The pivots are frozen solid. If I squeeze them, they will not release. It's not the cable. It's the pivots. They're full of water from last night's rain. Shifters. All hosed up. Pawls won't engage on the rear shifter. Front derailleur full of ice and doesn't want to downshift. It'll up-shift just fine. So, I had a singlespeed on the way to work. At least it wasn't an entirely craptastic gear ratio.
The front tried to wash out on 95th street, too. I don't know how many of you are in or around KC so some will have to take my word for it when I say 95th and Quivira is not a good place to be making snow angels in the middle of the road, even at six in the morning. Somehow, I managed to stay rubber-side-down. My old VersaTrac knock-off knobbies never did that, though. Not on powder.
Got to the bus stop at about 6:15. About a dozen cars sat idling. With temperatures at 13 degrees according to Wunderground, I don't blame them. I saw Lorin walking up (not riding) as I did a bit of a cool-down lap around the parking lot. The bus was almost half an hour late, so we were just standing out there in the elements. I was flawlessly bundled for the occasion, so it wasn't a big deal, except for my toes which did get a little bit wet. The bus got downtown a good 45 minutes later than usual, too. All in all, I got to work an hour and a half after I left home. I could have likely ridden all the way to work and beat the bus, as it's only about 9MPH average. It would have been a close match, especially with only one gear, but I think I could have done it.
I didn't get my Mocha this morning, and I'm kind of grouchy about that. As unhealthy as it is, my daily mocha is about the closest thing I get to breakfast most mornings. So, here I sit, sipping on a delicious pressed coffee. It lacks anything resembling sustenance though. Caffeine and warmth only take me so far.

We are of completely diametric viewpoints regarding yesterday's evening commute. I loved every revolution for the whole 9+ miles. That's just me, though, we know this. I love the rain, and if it's mixed with a little sleet and snow, so bet it. ;)
This morning was rough, though... I made great time, but nearly bought it several times before I got to 91st, several times on 91st, and a few more times on Lamar. I'm pretty sure I'd be better off with better tires, but I consider it a character building process. These tires are 14 years old and counting. They're original. Vintage. It's an emotional thing at this point. I hate to get ride of them.
Too bad about your bike. I did take mine in last night (to hang on the fancy new hooks), and quickly realized that I should have wiped it down prior to hanging it up. Black, greasy water was dripping all over the carpet. That'll have to be steam cleaned later. Until the, I'll just keep the rags around to wipe 'er off during this sort of weather.
So... fellow commuter, fellow InfoSec duder, AND a fan of pressed coffee. Kinda weird.

Winter riding problems are universal. Reading your exploits is like reliving the many winters I have ridden here in Maine. You won't forget to bring that bike inside in the future. I made the same mistake and learned the same lesson.
Regarding your brake cable touch up in the other post - One trick you might try the next time you pull the housing and see oxidation is to run the cable through some emery cloth or green scrubby before lubing. While you used grease, I always use Phil's Tenacious rubbed in hard and then wiped clean.
- January 17, 2008 5:35 PM
Agreed with the Phil's Tenacious. I was having problems with my rear derailluer 'freezing up' on me. I added a few drops of cycling oil down the cable housing and it seemed to solve the problem. I love riding in the winter. I have the road all to myself. One thing I learned is to maintain good chain/drivetrain maintenance and to bike-wash every so often. To keep the salt and junk off of your frame, etc. ScottNorthSide (Considerbiking.org)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Garth Brooks is ending his run in Las Vegas.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) � Garth Brooks is ending his run in Las Vegas.
The country music superstar will play six more dates this fall at Wynn Las Vegas, concluding the three-year run Nov. 16-17.
Brooks slipped out of retirement to take the gig in 2009. It came with the gift of a jet from Steve Wynn.
The 50-year-old performer says in a news release he "thoroughly enjoyed" the shows and called Wynn "the easiest and best boss I have ever worked for." The news release says he plans to film the one-man show next summer.
Brooks will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Oct. 21 in Nashville, Tenn.

I never saw you as so superstitious PoP.
What an arrogant attitude They are unbeaten in four
Best home record outside of the top 6. Klopp won't be taking them lightly.
He never takes those lucky shorts off.
This match is as tough as was Wolves away. Come on Redmen! Open the gap to 7 points and watch them crumble under pressure again.
Shut the fuck up and put some respek on Lucas name playboy
They were complete garbage at home vs Arsenal just a few weeks ago. I think we'll win by 0-3.
They absolutely were not. They should have won the game.
Wonder if we will see Hoever partner VVD at the back?
Dont think hes ready yet
Liverpool are playing tomorrow!It's going to be a great day, it's going to be glorious.I think our perception is a bit skewed after two defeats. One of those was against a baby blue behemoth of financial doping, coming at the end of a gruelling run of fixtures and we lost it by the smallest of margins imaginable. The other was a pack of players never to play together before or again and they came against a well drilled team on a tough away ground. So yeah, we lost, twice. But it won't be the tired Liverpool from Etihad, nor the mix of children and seniors that will run out against Brighton tomorrow. It'll be a pack of hungry, lean and well rested lions running through brick walls for a victory. Sure, the weight of needing three points is getting heavier with every game now - but I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of Brighton defenders tomorrow. We'll be merciless.
Would be fantastic to pick up the 3 points after the defeat at City.
Wonder if we will see Hoever partner VVD at the back?
Personally believe we will play as we have been playing recently, with calmness, control, authority, discipline, organization, and elan. And that we will win. We're 4 points ahead, and that's because we are better, and have proved ourself better, than our competitors.To put it another way, we only have the possible 10 point gap, or even just the 7 point gap, influencing our perceptions. That's part of the reason we watch the matches. The players Klopp has assembled see themselves as top, because they have worked and fought and thought for it, and that's not something they are going to give up.I think we will win.
Are you sure? Didn't Aubemayang have like 2 or 3 chances (took 1) early along with some other plays that would have buried Brighton in the first 20.Tend to agree with the other bloke.
Arsenal dominated the first 25 minutes then faded and the equaliser came just before HT in a first half of few chances. Then Emery took Ozil off at HT and from then on it was one way traffic on the Arsenal goal. The pertinent bit is Brighton have trouble with the genuine world class creative talents: Ozil, Coutinho, Hazard, Pogba, De Bruyne. Also have trouble with forwards: Firmino, Aguero (needed to finish the creations) and a lesser extent Salah, Sane, Son, Vardy, Kane, Aubemayang.All goes with the way to beat a deep defence is by a piece of individual skill, in the absence of any mistakes.
Yeah, he was clean through on goal and missed before Brighton equalized. If he scores that and makes it 2-0 Arsenal go on to win comfortably. Brighton's goal was also courtesy of a cock up by Liechtsteiner/Leno. I've watched a fair few Brighton games against the top sides. Yes, they make it difficult and are undoubtedly a difficult team to play against (especially at home), but they don't create that many clear cut opportunities. They seem to be able to create sustained periods of pressure without really doing much. Keep Murray in check and most of their attacking impotus is lost. They'll bombard our box at any and every opportunity they get as well.If we can keep our heads and defend as we've been doing all season long, there's no reason we can't win given that I'm sure we'll have opportunities to score. We've faced tougher tests away from home against lesser sides this season, like Wolves and Watford and have so far passed them flawlessly.
A game we really have to win.I think itll be a draw tho.1-1
We have been wiping our arses on man city all day in our house.
And yet in the end, Arsenal had more shots, shots on target, and possession. I'm not sure how you can say it was one way traffic on the Arsenal goal.

Not Your Granny's Grammys
The once-stodgy awards are finding and honoring new artists faster than ever. What their choices tell us about the turbulent music business.
Forty million people tuned in to the Grammy Awards last year, the most viewers since Michael Jackson triumphed with "Thriller." But that Oscars-size audience was due to the drawing power of a young singer (Adele) and the death of an older one (Whitney Houston) the day before the telecast. This Sunday, without those klieg-light factors, the Grammy Awards are set to be a more accurate mirror of today's music business, a volatile industry where both sales and stardom are spread more thinly than ever.
But as a result,...

There may come a time when your parents or loved ones are no longer capable of making informed decisions about their needs for care or the safety and appropriateness of where they live. It is at this point you will have to step in. Before you take that step, you need to know if they are not able to make appropriate decisions, or if they are not willing to. If it is the latter, that is their right. You will need to learn to let go and take care of yourself. If you do not, you will burn out and end up with your own health problems, depression, or other concerns. Stepping back can be especially difficult for an only child, or when it goes against the values of your culture or community. If you are afraid your parents have dementia, a physician should be consulted. Several conditions that appear similar to dementia have reversible causes. Once these have been ruled out, educate yourself about dementia. Besides impairing memory, dementia also causes impairment in judgment, insight and decision-making ability. The result is that people are often not able to agree to changes. Once help has been initiated, they may be quite accepting of it. Most people struggle with guilt and grief when they realize they must begin telling their parents what has to happen. We hear the term "parenting my parents," but this is not what you are doing. You are caring for someone with a disability, filling in the gaps which a disability has created. To be able to have the conversation you have to change how you think about yourself, your relationship with your parents, and what is "right." Start this conversation at a time good for you all. Be ready to listen. Even with dementia, insight and judgment are not black and white. Often people have some understanding of their situation, and some degree of ability to reason.
You might be able to negotiate. "Let's try it for a while," or "Try it for a month and if you are not happy, you can return home."
Often these conversations and decisions are a little bit of a dance — you push, then pull back, push and pull back. You might have to come back to the conversation several times.Talk to your doctor about possibilities and approaches, or hire a private geriatric care manager. We may be able to help you keep your parents at home, or guide you in making decisions. At some point, though, you just have to tell them, with compassion and caring, that "this is the way it is going to be."Moving someone to seniors' housing without their consent is more difficult. Legally, you may not have the right to do so, but ethically, you may have no choice about leaving them at home. Often a move comes about only after a fall or other event has led to hospitalization. There are resources to help you through your health authority, including geriatric mental health servicesYou may have to find housing on your own, without your parents' involvement. If privately funded housing is not an option, contact your local health authority for an assessment and waitlisting. When the time comes, you may have to tell your parents they are moving. If it is to a nursing home, there have been times when people have had to go as far as telling their parent that they are going for lunch, and they go to the home. This is extreme and is often only done with the involvement of local health authorities and geriatric mental-health teams.
There are two paths to obtaining the legal authority to make personal or health-care decisions for someone. One is for the individual to give you that permission through a representation agreement. Representation agreements are the sole legal documents by which British Columbians are able to give permission for someone else to take over for them if necessary. They are generally made with the help of a lawyer but in some instances can be made with a notary public. If someone is not capable of making a representation agreement and is unable to make decisions for themselves, you will need to obtain what is called committee (with the accent on the last syllable) of person. This can only be obtained through the court and, if it is contested, can up end costing many thousands of dollars.In the absence of these documents, a family member may, in some cases, make decisions if a person is deemed unable to do so by a physician. The Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee is also legally empowered to become a temporary decision-maker under certain conditions. It is important to remember that if you have "power of attorney" for someone, it does not give you the right to make decisions about health or personal care — it only gives you power to make financial decisions.The journey to being the decision-maker for parents can be difficult and guilt-producing. Don't do it alone. Find help from friends, support groups, private counsellors, or groups such as the Alzheimer's Society. Look online for resources from forums.
My book, Nursing Homes and Assisted Living, specifically addresses this difficult transition and is written to help family members with the emotional as well as practical issues involved in moving to seniors' housing.

more about rugs
I love these layered rugs, but they look great together because of the floors. I ended up ditching my old rug for a cowhide very similar to this, I'll share photos later.
Until I have the floors I want, I don't want to make a real investment rug purchase because it will only be compromised by the carpets, you know?

I love this layered look as well! it never occurred to me to do this.ReplyDelete
Please tell me more about your experience with hides! They are beautiful but I've never been sure how clean they are? We have 2 cats and a dog so the thought of their dander and ever present fur getting trapped in there freaks me out. That's why I barely have a rug in my house, too hard to keep clean. Also, do you find hides shed at all? What if you were to spill something on it? Could you steam clean it, like you could a normal rug?ReplyDeleteReplies
Liz, I've found them to be incredibly durable, probably more so than any other kind of rug but I could be wrong. So far, we haven't had any major spills & we have no pets but if something does drop on it, I just wipe it off with a damp rag. That may not be the right way to do it but it's worked well so far.Delete
Hope that helps!

The B-Team Podcast
Episode "The Ball Gaggies 2013"
Does the so-called next-gen of gaming got you down? You're not alone. 2014 doesn't look much better if you're only looking at Triple A titles and gaming consoles. Hey, you know it's true! We're just seeing more of the same old (with slightly prettier graphics and better performance) in this generation of consoles.
Fortunately, there's the PC and the indie gaming scene to save the day. Now, I know some people love to take a proverbial dump on indie games. I recall Derrick Hopkins agreeing with some AllGames.com chatters that indie games needs to stop meaning "cheap, crappy games with retro graphics" and be more about quality games that aren't from a big studio.
I reckon indie games are already there, though we arguably back to the days of the NES; that is, it's so easy to develop and distribute video games nowadays (thank you, Steam, RPG Maker, Blender, Physx, Unity, etc.) that there are tons of crappy releases cluttering the marketplace. It's unavoidable that we'll run into games that should not even exist. There are also those that are more tech demos and experiments than anything else, but there are far more unique titles coming from small, virtually unknown studios than there are from the major studios.
In one of the first episodes of 2014 for The B-Team Podcast, everyone shared their favorite games of 2013 in a special call called the "Ball Gaggies". I joined for a bit before kicking off HorsePLAY! LIVE for the evening and it was great fun. The different categories that were covered were interesting. What was more interesting is how lots of indie games popped up in non-indie categories.
The B-Team's Ball Gaggies were entertaining and very enlightening. I've noticed that we are seeing indie games permeating more mainstream spaces and that's not going to change any time soon. Crowdsourcing seed money and influence via social media – that's what has made this all possible. Thank goodness, too, because the mega-publishers are too scared to take risks and try out fresh new ideas. As such, everything that is being released is utter rubbish.
My picks for 2013 are games that have been released in the past four to six years yet are still fun today. As you may have already learned, a good game in my book is one that has high replay value, social/online features, and/or deep immersion. Amongst my favorite games of 2013 were X-Com: Enemy Unknown, Steam Marines, SolForge, Scrolls, League of Legends, DotA 2, Space Hulk, Risk of Rain, Rogue Legacy, and Skullgirls. Many of these games could be considered indie or at least follow an indie spirit. Quite a few of these were Kickstarter projects or funded through unusual methods.
Of particular note is Rogue Legacy (as depicted in the featured image), a game that will instantly remind you of Metroid, Castlevania, or, to a greater extent, Ghouls N' Goblins. This is a game that I felt was just a hipster favorite due to the retro graphics and nostalgia, but I soon found out it was so much more. Rogue Legacy is amazing in my book because it is a single-player game that I actually want to keep coming back to (I'm more of a multiplayer gamer) <u>AND</u> it manages to make you feel fully-invested in the experience, something most roguelikes inherently have an issue with.
Another game worth mentioning is Steam Marines. I think this one may fall under the radar, which would be a great shame considering that the tactics space is lacking. If you enjoy XCOM, Final Fantasy Tactics, FTL: Faster Than Light, or anything of the sort, this game may have something for you. In simple terms, it is a sci-fi tactics games where you are marines in space killing stuff.. But there is surprising depth in this simple little package. Best of all, every playthrough is completely randomized so there's always a challenge to be had!
I won't get too into these games because, really, they deserve their own review.. but this just speaks to the innovation we see in the indie industry. It was nice to see the Ball Gaggies embrace some of these titles because, really, the mainstream stuff is becoming quite repetitive, amirite?
Be sure to leave The B-Team some love on Stitcher, iTunes, AllGames.com, Twitter, and their web site. They're easy to stalk, just like me – just Google "The B-Team Podcast". Tell 'em Yogi sent ya!

Memories of Ice: Book Three of the Malazan Book of the Fallen
Battle dominates the gripping third installment of Canadian Erikson's projected 10-volume series (Gardens of the Moon , etc.), set in the land of Malazan and featuring a host of gods, grunt soldiers, wizards and undead. Ganoes Paran is now captain of the Bridgeburners, part of Dujek Onearm's army that's trying to fight off the vile forces of the Pannion Domin. The author vividly details the horrors of hand-to-hand combat along with the cannibalistic tendencies of the Tenescowri (or peasant) rabble that fight for the Pannion Domin. The most intriguing new character is Itkovian, a commander of the mercenary Grey Swords who finds, after the battle of Capustan, that his god has deserted him. For a giant fantasy series, this is tightly written, with no repetitious dialogue or exposition. Erikson ranks near the top of the epic fantasy pantheon. Agent, Howard Morhaim. (Nov.)
Release date: 11/01/2005

The way Sears is closing stores and losing money they might even consider selling the whole deal especially since they have a store at Kings Plaza. But, who are we to speculate.
I keep looking for some group who will benefit from SBS.I benefit when I go to Target at the Junction. It's faster than any iteration of the B41 on Flatbush.

Maybe the complex will offer accepting Fresh Direct deliveries as an amentity. That's what The Plex does.That's the dumbest amenity ever! I LOATHE getting all deliveries except for Fresh Direct. Fresh Direct comes during a very small window of time that you get to schedule. Ie: I wanted groceries between 10pm and 11:30pm last Tuesday and that is when they came because I chose the date and time. It is ALL OTHER deliveries that suck since they come whenever during the day and on whatever day they feel like.
Looks like they got that design after seeing someone's kid playing with Legos.Haha -- my own initial thoughts were of Jenga blocks.
This development is still on track:
now 1/2 rentals, and half condos.

Maybe, but there are so many prewar apartments in the areas and even houses being split farther out for about $900 per room that I'm not sure what the appeal is besides a new building with some in-building amenities. I don't think these new apartment prices will have much appeal to transient transplants and recent grads until there are more neighborhood ameneties on par with western Crown HeightsMarco555 said:Brookyln College students who don't feel the area is safe?

Flu continues to spread misery at epidemic levels across the United States, but there are some signs it is starting to wane, federal officials said on Friday. But it's killed at least 45 children, many of them previously healthy kids, and continues to put many elderly into the hospital.

Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

It's still bad in New York City and 24 -- Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas,Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
The CDC tracks flu and flu-like illness on a week-to-week basis, comparing each week to the average for the same week in previous years. "During week four (of January), 9.4 percent of all deaths reported through the 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System were due to pneumonia and influenza," the CDC says in its report. "This percentage was above the epidemic threshold of 7.4 percent for week four."
Over the last week, eight children died from flu, bringing the total for 2012-2013 to 45, compared to 34 last year, 122 in the especially bad 2010-2011 season and 282 during the first year of the the H1N1 swine flu pandemic – which hit children and young adults unusually hard.
Of all hospitalizations, more than 50 percent were among adults 65 years and older.
Most people don't get tested when they think they have flu, but of those who did, 25 percent were positive influenza, meaning three quarters of people with flu-like symptoms had something else.
It's not clear when flu season will peak – usually, January and February are the worst months in the United States, but flu season can sometimes last into May. The CDC says it's really never too late in flu season to get vaccinated.

Yes, you can make a Christmas tree these days from anything! This one I created a number of years ago.
Got myself a long piece of copper pipe, and a pipe cutter. Yes, there is such a thing. First I tried to cut it with a saw, no not gonna work......lol
All the tubes are hung but drilling a hole in the centre of all the pipes and threading a piece of copper wire.
That's it, done.
I planned this project out by doing all my measurements first, and then cutting. You can pretty much make it any shape or size you like. Like they say, measure twice, cut once.....oh I have done it the other way around so many times. You know how it goes, so excited to just cut, and then do it wrong.
You can hang this "tree" just about anywhere if space is an issue. Even if space isn't an issue. I have hung it in many places just to show that it can work anywhere, in my opinion.
I have permanently hung it inside my front door. Gives a nice touch to the door, I think.
What do you guys think? Yay, or nay to the copper pipe tree?
Thanks for taking a look.
Hang it in front of a window.
I hung it in my kitchen against my wall art.

Hey guys,
I'm just hoping to ask where can I buy some mycotoxin free coffee grounds in Australia?
I'm hoping to make some bulletproof coffee in the morning as a breakfast replacement and also to provide the extra kick for work, it's the whole reason I bought a coffee machine haha.
However I'm just wondering, what are some of the coffee brands that are mycotoxin free and available in Australia? I don't wish to buy the official bulletproof products as it's just too expensive, so I'm hoping to find some alternatives.
Also I don't have a bean grinder so coffee ground is preferred. Thank you so much for all your help!
Best Regards,

Marilynn Lovell Matz, an actress on television in the 1950s and 1960s who later became a therapist and AIDS activist, died April 13 in Los Angeles after a 30-year battle with multiple sclerosis. She was 81.
She appeared on "The Liberace Show" and then "The Danny Kaye Show" and later guested on "Route 66," "The Naked City" and "The Munsters." In 1995 Lovell toured with Mary Martin in "Hello, Dolly" and appeared the next year in an NBC documentary following the European and Asian tour.
In the early 1970s she wrote music for or performed on the soundtrack for several horror films, including "The Return of Count Yorga," "Terror House" and "Scream Blacula Scream."
During this period, however, she felt constricted by show business and, seeking to be of service, Lovell went back to school to become a therapist. Beginning in the 1980s she served a growing number of gay patients dealing with AIDS-related issues.
Lovell and composer-arranger Peter Matz, whom she married in 1981, did private fundraising evenings for AIDS Project L.A., raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.
While continuing her practice, she returned to the screen for a small role in Rob Reiner's feature film "The Ghosts of Mississippi" in 1996, sang regularly at the Cinegrill and Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles and did work onstage.
Peter Matz died in 2002. Lovell Matz's survivors include two stepsons and her grandchildren.
A celebration of her life and career is being planned for early June. Donations may be made to AIDS Project Los Angeles or the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.

Ozzy Osbourne Questions Son Jack's MS Diagnosis
Earlier this week Jack Osbourne revealed he's been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but father Ozzy Osbourne isn't so sure that's the source of his recent health woes. The rocker says he's urging his 26-year-old son to get a second opinion.
"I was misdiagnosed with MS a few years ago," Osbourne tells Hello Magazine, the same publication Jack broke the news to. "It took them six months to work out I have a rare hereditary tremor called Parkin Syndrome." MS does run in the family, as Sharon Osbourne's uncle suffered from the incurable disease.
Jack Osbourne was diagnosed in April, just months after becoming a first time father. When the news broke this week, Sharon Osbourne crumbled on the set of 'The View.' However the next day she was more composed, promising her son would beat MS.
"It's actually been a month and we kept it to ourselves for a month," she told Conan O'Brien last night . "He is actually doing amazing, he is so strong and positive … my son will conquer!"
A loss of vision sent Jack to the doctors initially, but his sight has since improved. "It's just one of those things you take as it comes," he tells People. "It's all about your outlook."

8 Ways to Style a Center Hair Part
8 Flattering Center Hair Part Styles to Try Now
The advent of outrageous hairstyles that aim to step out of the norm have somewhat relegated classic hairstyles into the back burner, so to speak. However, this does not mean that the classic ways of styling a woman's hair has completely been forgotten. It has only adapted a new perspective wherein the classic hairstyles give a fresh twist. The same goes with the center hair part. Even though side swept 'dos and deep side parts were becoming highly popular in 2013 and still continues to be popular, there are still fun and creative ways you can wear a center part this year. In fact, this trend has never really disappeared – it has simply taken on a new form.
If you are either too afraid to explore with a new part or simply cannot let go of that center hair part, no need to worry. We will give you eight chic ways to wear your center part and keep your hairstyle dated.
If you feel like rocking a sophisticated, maybe a bit glam, hair style, styling your center hair part with a chignon is the surest bet. This is also a very easy hairstyle to do, while also providing a wide range of styling possibilities. It starts with parting your hair in the middle and then pulling back the lower ends of the hair. You can opt to style it sleek and neat, or loose and a bit messy.
But before you do, make sure you blow dry your hair after you have gathered the lower ends. Use an elastic tie to secure the hair into a low ponytail. Then, twist the ends to form a bun (loose or sleek, it is up to you). Use bobby pins to secure the hair at the ends and keep it from falling off. You have the option to finish off the hair with a serum to keep them well behaved or you can also pull out the smaller hairs along the hairline to fall off freely.
Down with Loose Waves
This is a great hairstyle for women with naturally wavy hair. All you have to do to style this center part is to apply an anti-frizz serum while hair is still wet. Then, take out your diffuser and blow dry. If you have the luxury of time, you can simply let hair air dry.
Even though you have naturally straight hair, you can still try this center part hairstyle to give more shape and volume into your looks. You have to shower before going to bed and use a styling mousse while hair is still damp. Make sure you apply from roots to ends to ensure maximum absorption of the mousse.
Then, part your hair in the center and start braiding each side (where the part is separating them). Release the braids from your hair when you wake up the next morning. Simply run your fingers through the hair to release the braids from any knotting. This will also create that loose wave effect. Refrain from using a brush. To keep hair from becoming oily, apply dry shampoo. This will also help hold the style throughout the day.
Sleek and Straight
Gwyneth Paltrow is one celebrity that has popularized this look when she wore it to the Oscars 2001 red carpet. However, more than a decade has passed and this center hair part look continues to be a hit, whether you're a celebrity or not. The sleekness of the look gives it a sophisticated touch that is almost reminiscent of the runway looks.
But if you want to make this hairstyle look dated, you need to match it first with your hair's length. The ideal length for this center part hairstyle should be around the shoulder. This also works with shorter hairstyles, such as a long bob. Start by applying product to eliminate frizz and spritzing heat protection spray on damp hair. You can now blow dry hair to keep it looking smooth and to have that glossy sheen. A flat iron will help to keep those locks well behaved. Finish off with a styling crème to give it body without looking limp.

Season Spotlight: "Life of Pi"
Posted by Zachary Mandinach on 12.10.2012
As awards season kicks into high gear, The Season begins daily spotlights on the films that are receiving (or, in our opinion, should be receiving) end-of-year buzz. These posts are aimed at highlighting some of the best cinema of the year and making the case for why they deserve your eyeballs, whether it's for the first, second, or fifth time.
It's fitting that we open our series of awards Season Spotlights with Ang Lee's Life of Pi, which had its World Premiere as the Opening Night film of the 50th New York Film Festival. On that special evening, after a whopping eight screenings throughout the Lincoln Center campus, festival attendees left feeling bedazzled by a film of supreme beauty and spirituality.
Based on Yann Martel's Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name, Life of Pi tells the story of a young man's struggle for survival after a shipwreck leaves him stranded aboard a lifeboat with a hungry tiger as his only shipmate. Released over a decade ago, the novel arrived on the big screen last month after a journey filled with setbacks and multiple incarnations until Ang Lee was brought on in 2009. Under the stewardship of Fox 2000's Elizabeth Gabler—who was here at the Film Society along with Martel, Lee, and others for a post-screening press conference—the project previously was attached to directors such as M. Night Shyamalan and Jean-Pierre Jeunet. In the end, Fox went with Ang Lee because, as Gabler noted in the press conference, the studio felt that "under Ang's directorship we would have something that was extraordinary and new to the world in so many different ways."

And extraordinary is what they got with Lee's awe-inspiring vision beautifully presented in 3D, an unthinkable idea when the project was first optioned by Fox in 2003. Even James Cameron, the modern pioneer of 3D cinema, praised the film in a special featurette, stating his belief that "the technology we created has contributed to a masterpiece."
Such technical inventiveness in Life of Pi isn't specific to its use of 3D. A film that largely focuses on a young man and tiger on a small lifeboat presents problems. As the film's special effects supervisor, Bill Westenhofer, put it quite simply in a recent piece in The New York Times, "we didn't want our actor to get eaten." To avoid such an issue, Lee decided to create the tiger via CGI (computer-generated imagery). But what you see isn't completely a digitally created tiger, according to the piece. "We used [live tigers] for single shots, where it was just the tiger in the frame," says Westenhofer. "By doing that, it set our bar high for CGI. We couldn't cheat at all. It pushed the artists to go and deliver something that's never been done before, something as photo-real as anyone has ever done with an animal."

Rarely does a film come along that so seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with such profound, heartfelt emotion. With Life of Pi, Lee uses the grandiose, fantastical tools of modern cinema to create a truly transcendental film.

PHILADELPHIA (KYW/CNN) - A 3-year-old girl is recovering after Philadelphia police say her mother attacked her Sunday night with a machete.
Lauren Rodriguez, 34, faces multiple charges including attempted criminal homicide and aggravated assault.
Officers say Rodriguez sliced her young daughter with a machete six times, including on her knee, shoulder and head.
"I seen the daughter with her head split open from her mother with a machete," said neighbor Pauline Williams.
Williams described seeing a bloody mess after another neighbor rushed to rescue the injured child.
"I just started crying. I felt so bad about it. It was just too sad for anybody. From the youngest to the oldest that was out here - took it real hard. The whole block was crying," she said.
Philadelphia police have not yet said what led Rodriguez to allegedly attack her 3-year-old daughter, but police said a similar incident happened on the same block a week ago.
Investigators say Reinaldo Bermudez, 41, cut someone with a different machete. Neighbors say he's the father of that girl who was hurt Sunday night.
The girl suffered skull fractures and multiple lacerations on her head, shoulder and knee. At last check, she was in stable condition at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.

Record 65 student-athletes earn winter Academic All-Big Ten accolades
Record 65 student-athletes earn winter Academic All-Big Ten accolades
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – A school record 65 Penn State student-athletes from eight winter teams have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. The previous mark for the winter sports season was 64 honorees, set in 2013.
The 65 winter honorees brings Penn State's 2013-14 total to 149 (from 15 sports).
Head coach Tim Murphy's women's swimming and diving team led Penn State's winter sports with 16 Academic All-Big Ten recipients while the men's swimming and diving team had 13. Coach Guy Gadowsky's men's ice hockey team garnered 15 academic all-conference selections, the most in the conference. Coach Jeff Thompson's women's gymnastics team had six Academic All-Big Ten honorees, the second-highest total in the conference, and Coach Patrick Chambers' men's basketball team was tied for third with three Academic all-conference honorees.
Of the 65 Winter Academic All-Big Ten honorees, many achieved All-American status in the competitive arena as well. Four of head coach Cael Sanderson's Academic All-Big Ten wrestlers also earned All-America honors: Matt Brown (West Valley City, Utah), James English (York), Nico Megaludis (Murrysville) and David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio). Taylor won his second NCAA title and second Hodge Trophy Award as the nation's top wrestler this past season.
Women's gymnast Kassidy Stauder (Palmerton) was an All-American in the balance beam and men's gymnast Craig Hernandez (Libertyville, Ill.) earned All-America honors in the pommel horse. Women's swimmer Alyson Ackman (Montreal) was a first team All-American. Lady Lion basketball standout Ariel Edwards (Elmont, N.Y.) earned first-team All-Big Ten accolades and Nittany Lion basketball standout Tim Frazier (Houston) also was an all-conference honoree in 2013-14.
In its 21st year of full membership in the Big Ten, Penn State has had a total of 4,626 Academic All-Big Ten honorees through this winter.
The academic honors come at the conclusion of an outstanding winter season that helped boost Penn State to No. 2 in the most recent Learfield Sports Directors' Cup standings. The Nittany Lion men's and women's fencing teams claimed their 13th combined National Championship and the wrestling team win its fourth consecutive NCAA title. The wrestlers also won their fourth-straight Big Ten Championship and the women's basketball team won the Big Ten regular season crown for the third consecutive year. In addition, the Penn State men's and women's gymnastics teams advanced to their respective NCAA Championships.
The women's indoor track and field team also won the Big Ten Championship. The Academic All-Big Ten honorees for the men's and women's track and field teams will be included in the spring and at-large sports, as will fencing and women's hockey.

Tunneling NFS4 over SSH
Today we had the need to mount a filesystem from a system that was almost completely isolated and instead of having to transfer a huge amount of data over a tunneled SSH connection, I thought, why not pursue mounting NFS over an SSH tunnel.
Since NFS4 by default does TCP if both client and server can do that, this would be the perfect opportunity to test the new capability. In fact, it should not be hard at all.
Consider the folowing situation:
some-server (EL4) <-> mgmt-server (Solaris) <-> nfs-server (EL4)
So we connect to our server using SSH from the mgmt-server using:
ssh -R 3049:nfs-server:2049 some-server
If "AllowTcpForwarding yes" is set in your sshd_config, this will create a tunnel back from our server to our nfs-server over the mgmt-server SSH connection. So that connecting to port 3049 on some-server will take us to port 2049 on nfs-server.
If you have a dedicated management server, you may want to hardcode this in your ~/.ssh/config as:
Host *
RemoteForward 3049 nfs-server:2049
On the nfs-server side, things become a bit more complicated. Configuring NFS4 is a bit different than what I was used to do. Look at the next example config:
/srv/nfs *(ro,sync,insecure,hide,no_root_squash,fsid=0,no_subtree_check)
/srv/nfs/share *(ro,sync,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,fsid=1)
The difference is that the export with "fsid=0" is considered the root of the exported directories. No longer does NFS expect directories to be exported with the same location on the NFS server.
The downside is that you may have to bind-mount your real path to the tree that you export. In my case I would have to do:
mount -o bind /path/share /srv/nfs/share
And as a result, /srv/nfs/share will be exported as /share.
All nice and dandy.
Yes, now let's do the mount:
mkdir /path
mount -t nfs4 -o port=3049,hard,intr localhost:/share /path
And this should work. At least if the permissions are set correctly. If you do have problems, the kernel messages and mountd message in /var/log/messages usually give a good indication of what the cause is. If you are unlucky, nothing is logged and it becomes guesswork.
Update: My original article indicated that doing this was not completely possible. But the problem was related to the new NFS4 configuration.
solaris 10?
Solaris 10 has ( I believe ) IPFilter installed by default. Check for the existence of /usr/sbin/ipnat ( and /usr/sbin/ipf )
coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ is the home page. I have used it on solaris but not for some time - solaris 2.6/7 timeframe - well, at least on solaris :->
The insecure option
Try adding "insecure" to your exports; from exports(5):
"[The secure] option requires that requests originate on an Internet port less than IPPORT_RESERVED (1024). This option is on by default. To turn it off, specify insecure."
I am ashamed to say that I overlooked it !
I expected it to be part of the nfsd configuration and not something that is set on a per export basis.
Thanks a lot and if we ever meet, I will buy you a Belgian beer :-)
I was answering too soon. My analysis of the problem was incorrect (unprivileged port) and in fact when I arrived at work I noticed I already had "insecure" in the NFS options.
Also when I tested it with "secure" and using an unprivileged port, the kernel messages would return
kernel: nfsd: request from insecure port (188.8.131.52:60512)!
So the problem lied somewhere else. Good news though, I eventually made it work ! And will update the article for future reference.
PS I still owe you the beer though :)
Right tool for the job?
Why not use openvpn or some other Virtual Private Network?
That is a possibility, but I don't see how that would make the situation more simple.
NFSv4 via SSH
NFSv4 works quite well with Kerberos. This gives you the benefit of SSO as well as encryption if so desired over a single tcp port making it ideal for mounting thru firewalls and over insecure networks. Not sure why you would want to tunnel NFSv4 via SSH, unless you dont have kerberos/ldap or AD . I've never tried it in Linux, but it works well with Solaris 10 and AD though. I've also got it to work with Solaris 10 and Kerberos/Openldap.
I'm always amazed by the number of protocols that people will tunnel via SSH and the hoops that they jump thru to get it to work. I usually use ssh for terminal or X forwarding but general purpose VPN is better handled by IPSEC or SSL types of VPN like OpenVPN.
Think isolated servers in a bank datacenter
For isolated servers where only SSH is allowed to the system for management purposes and no data connections (except business related) can go into the management or corporate network, you have few options.
What I usually do is provide by default a remote forward for HTTP to a distribution server, so that whenever you access these servers you can download updates and additional software. But in certain cases filesystem access is more useful so being able to tunnel NFS over SSH is very useful as well.
The benefit of doing it like this is that there is only a short period of time (during a maintenance window) that this can be used, but by default there is no possibility to exploit it.
Compared to a permanent firewall rule this is more secure and less prone to attacks.
The bank data center is the point. NFSv4 was designed to overcome the limitations of previous versions. Using NFSv4 with a mature authentication/encryption system, like kerberos/ldap/certificates, allows one to design better bank data centers. Think NetAPP filers with terabytes of data as the backend in the corporate network and the centos/redhat systems in the DMZ as the front ends. There is no reason why the systems in the front end cant use the backend filers thru firewall, especially a mount point that only has patches, packages, etc. - you can even export it read only. I'll bet money that NFSv4/kerberos natively will out perform tunneled thru ssh any day.
In the case of Centos/Redhat, coupled with SELinux enabled on the front end dmz servers and virtualized via XEN/KVM/OpenVZ to only perform the tasks assigned to them, the risk is very minimal. You get the benefits of performance, simplicity, separation and security.
SSH has been used as "glueware" for far too long. This is due to the fact that most network file systems historically have had a bad reputation for insecurity. Modern network protocols, like NFSv4, do not require SSH when implemented properly.
The problem is one of transition from older versions of NFSv2/3 to the newer one and implementing a solid directory/kerberos AAA system. The bigger problem though for most enterprises is to go with what they know so they continue to use old school methods. Lack of investment in training the sysadmins kills the spirit of innovation. Not sure what your workplace is like.
SSH use, IMHO, should be limited to network terminal access, sftp and maybe X. I think I'll write a doc on implementing NFSv4 and Kerberos/LDAP and toss it on the Centos wiki as a project.
Not even sure how I got onto this blog. Oh yeah, I was trying to get a release date for Centos 5.2.
I think you're looking too
I think you're looking too much into it. This is not offered as a permanent solution nor is it used as it.
Fact is that for isolated systems the company does not allow any network connectivity going out of that tier. The network team will not allow that communication on the firewalls because that is permanent.
Doing this with SSH only exposes the traffic tunneled for the time you're using it. The tunnel is gone when you log out and so will the NFS mount.
SSH is not being used for security, although it doesn't hurt either. Everything else you say unrelated to what I described.
use rsync over SSH ?
if you don't have to modify files on both sides at the same time.
rsync [-n] -e ssh -avDH --delete server1:/file/repo /local/copy/file/repo/.
But that means to initially transfert all datas the first time (to have a copy).
On the other hand, it's also provides a nice backup (at least a copy somewhere else).
Normally I would push using SFTP or rsync, but if your dataset is a few GB when not the complete dataset is going to be used and there are a few systems where you have to perform the action on, tunneling NFS over SSH is a much more viable alternative than expecting there is enough room available on each server and having to transfer the whole dataset while only part is effectively used.
Eventually I did it using sftp, but in the future for these cases NFS is more useful.
The simplest option in such cases is to use sshfs. Any situation that permits SFTP will also permit sshfs, and sshfs is dead easy compared to NFS anything.
sshfs would work
Except that it needs fuse and it does not come shipped with RHEL. So in this case NFS over SSH is simply easier.
Besides, to be able to do sshfs from that isolated server, you need to tunnel again through your existing SSH connection. So that would be sshfs over SSH, which has somewhat more overhead than NFS over SSH.
But in general sshfs is a viable alternative for remote mounting and for that reason I have it packaged in RPMforge as fuse-sshfs.

Thursday evening, Greater Louisville Inc. officially cut the ribbon on GILT's new, temporary pop-up boutique at Shelbyville Road Plaza on 4600 Shelbyville Road. The GILT Designer Outlet is a first for the New York-based online retailer known for selling designer goods for up to 60 percent off retail daily, having only held two-day events at their GILT City Warehouse Sales in the past. The outlet will be open beginning Friday, June 28 from 10 a.m. through Sunday, July 28 when the doors close at 6 p.m. The space being utilized is the former Borders site, located across from the former Circuit City store currently being renovated for the city's first-ever Nordstrom Rack, the latter to open sometime this fall.
"We came in, and it was a totally empty space. We built it out to look like a real retail store, so we brought in all of our merchandise. And we created sections like you would find at any other store. We have accessories, furniture, clothing, shoes, dressing rooms… we made into what is now a real store," said GILT City Events Manager Erica Schaffer during a brief moment between greeting guests at the front door.
Guests could partake of light appetizers and free alcoholic beverages while they shopped, selecting designer items from the likes of Zac Posen, Prada, Alejandro Ingelmo, Shine by S.H.O. and more, all for up to 90 percent off retail from the online retailer's distribution center in Shepherdsville, Ky. and elsewhere.
"We've been here [in Louisville] for about three years now. We came out here back in 2010, and it's our biggest distribution center for all of our merchandise. It just seemed [that] if we're gonna do something like this, why not put it in a town that's very close to where the product is, and where you already have several hundred employees and tons of family, and where we're already corporate citizens, so it seemed like a good match," explains GILT Chief Supply Chain Officer Chris Halkyard when asked why the online retailer chose the city for their first-ever pop-up boutique. He went on to tell Louisville.com about how the store came together with the help of the GILT City team, responsible for the two-day GILT City Warehouse Sales held every month in various major cities around the United States, comparing the effort in Louisville to a marathon in opposition to the sprints normally conducted by the online retailer.
The GILT Designer Outlet will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. beginning this morning, with Sunday hours from noon to 6 p.m. The doors will close one month later July 28 at 6 p.m. Items sold at the boutique can be found for up to 90 percent off, ranging from clothing to furniture and accessories.

The reds were already cut for me. All I had to do was cut some white fabric and I was ready to start sewing. 6 blocks done and 10 left to go. Not bad for a late evening's work.
Until I lost my senses and did this!
Instead of this.
This little square is not like the others…
I trimmed it before realizing my mistake so it can't be saved. And it was the only piece of fabric I had like that. Sheesh!
That's when you know it's time to stop and go get ready for bed.

Unfortunately, the sad saga that is Aaron Hernandez has seen its sordid fingers reach into the game of college football yet again.
The former Florida and New England Patriots tight end, charged with first-degree murder late last month, has an older brother, D.J., who is an assistant on Kirk Ferentz's Iowa coaching staff. According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen, D.J. Hernandez was mistaken for his younger brother in the early morning hours at a Connecticut diner Saturday.
A fight ensued, and three individuals were arrested following the altercation. The Hawkeyes tight ends coach was not one of those arrested.
It's unclear, though, how many if any of the three men were with Hernandez.
"It was just customers who thought it was Aaron Hernandez. That's how the fight actually started," a diner employee told the Press-Citizen. "They thought it was Aaron Hernandez himself.
"And then someone said, 'No it's his brother,' and then a fight broke out. But whoever the person was, if it was D.J. Hernandez … (he was) not involved in the actual fight."
As D.J. Hernandez was neither involved in the skirmish nor arrested and charged, Iowa will have no comment on the situation.
Over the weekend, the Gainesville Police Department confirmed that Aaron Hernandez was one of a handful of then-Gator players who were "questioned very briefly" in regards to a 2007 shooting in Gainesville. Nobody has been charged in connection to that case and it remains an open investigation.

Foster + Partners just broke ground on Hanoi's VietinBank Business Centre, which is the firm's first project in Vietnam. Located strategically between central Hanoi and the airport, the project consists of two angular towers that will serve as a gateway to the city. The landmark towers includes energy-efficient design and an innovative and low-energy humidity reducing system, which is the first of its kind to be used on such a large-scale in the region.
Foster + Partner's project is a 300,000 square-meter mixed-use development composed of two towers and a seven-story tall podium, which holds conference facilities, luxury shops, cafes and restaurants and is topped by rooftop gardens. The taller of the two towers will house the headquarters for VietinBank, one of Vietnam's largest banking groups, while the second tower will house a five-star hotel, spa and serviced apartments.
Energy-efficient design plays a huge role in the towers which feature facades composed of fins at 4.5-metre intervals that shade the interior spaces. The towers also feature an innovative system designed to mitigate the area's high levels of humidity using a low-energy desiccant wheel. High humidity air is drawn into the system, which pulls out the water and expels hot, dry air. This air is then cooled by ground water in a heat exchanger and then released back into the buildings. VietinBank's headquarters will be the first large-scale building in the region to use this technology.

While fans' patience was tested during the ups and downs of development on The Hobbit, production is now finally underway in New Zealand with our loyal Middle Earth captain Peter Jackson at the helm. While Jackson has been posting production diaries from the set (and will continue to do so throughout the year-long shoot), one of the biggest questions is what Jackson's version of the dragon Smaug will be like. For those unfamiliar, Smaug is the main antagonist in the story of Bilbo's adventure. Actor Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock) signed on to portray the dragon, and Steve recently got the chance to speak with Cumberbatch as part of the press day for the thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Cumberbatch talked about his approach to Smaug, who he's not only voicing but will also be physicalizing through the use of motion-capture. While he doesn't head down to New Zealand until January, Cumberbatch talked about how he's preparing for the character and how excited he is to join the production. Hit the jump to check out the interview.
Here's the transcript of the portion of the interview where Cumberbatch talked about The Hobbit. We'll have the full conversation available soon.
Collider: So what's it like to voice Smaug in The Hobbit?
Cumberbatch: I'm playing Smaug, I mean I'm physicalizing him as a dragon I'm not just doing the voiceover, so it'll be a physical role which I'm no stranger to. I did Frankenstein at the beginning of the year with Danny Boyle at the National Theater and playing the creature in that was a very full on and sort of corporeal experience. I can't wait, but the conversations have yet to start really in earnest because they've been doing the first film and I've been doing the second series of Sherlock and another series which I'm working on now called Parade's End for HBO and BBC with Tom Stoppard, and Rebecca Hall co-starring, so it's a world away but come a month's time we'll start conversations probably like you and I are having down the line. I've already started working out and doing various movement exercises to get myself limber for that all-important jump suit with balls on it, otherwise known as motion-capture. But I can't wait, I'm really excited. I go to film it in January.


text: Abstract: We develop a constructive method to derive exactly solvable quantum mechanical models of rational (Calogero) and trigonometric (Sutherland) type. This method starts from a linear algebra problem: finding eigenvectors of triangular finite matrices. These eigenvectors are transcribed into eigenfunctions of a selfadjoint Schrödinger operator. We prove the feasibility of our method by constructing an " AG_3 model" of trigonometric type (the rational case was known before from Wolfes 1975). Applying a Coxeter group analysis we prove its equivalence with the B_3 model. In order to better understand features of our construction we exhibit the F_4 rational model with our method.

Somewhere in France
105 U.S. Inf Co A.
Dear sister Madaline:
The weather at present has been very good. I witnessed an air battle the kind you have read about which took place at and near the place in which we were billeted. Of course the battle was at night and the only time the planes could be seen was when they came within the rays of the moon. They surely did make quite some noise that is between anti air craft guns and machine guns. The boys did not get excited and held themselves cool. We moved again and we are in billets the kind Empey describes in "Over the Top". His descriptions of the billets is exactly what we boys are undergoing. The place is fatuated with rats and cooties but the American is quite different than troops that have been billeted here before that is sanitary conditions. We do not use straw for bedding nor do we allow cob webs hanging around on the walls or ceilings. Everything is policed and kept so clean that we appreciate our little temporary home.
While on short hikes I happened to see some German prisoners and their greeting by us boys surely is great. Their are many different kinds of uniforms in this section. Their is one kind of troops which talk the same language as we do but with a different accent for some reason of other is not liked by an American soldier. Their ways and actions I suppose is the main course of our dislike of them.
Must close now with love and kisses to you all, I am.
Your Brother
Am feeling fine and am in the best of condition.

DETROIT (AP) – Miguel Cabrera ruptured his left biceps tendon Tuesday night, an injury that will sideline the Detroit slugger for the rest of the season, and the Tigers lost 6-4 to the Minnesota Twins.
The two-time AL MVP will have surgery this week, the Tigers said. Cabrera, playing his 12th game since missing 26 with a hamstring strain, exited in the third inning and underwent an MRI during the game.
Cabrera missed three games earlier this season with spasms in his left biceps.
Ehire Adrianza hit his first career grand slam to help Minnesota rally.
The Twins trailed 2-1 going into the seventh inning, but Tigers starter Blaine Hardy left after allowing a leadoff single to Eduardo Escobar.
Louis Coleman (3-1) only threw nine strikes in a 23-pitch outing, walking two batters to load the bases with two outs. Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire brought in Warwick Saupold, who went to a 3-1 count on Adrianza before throwing a fastball that ended up in the right-field stands.
The Tigers made it 5-4 with two runs in the seventh. With runners on second and third with two outs, JaCoby Jones beat out an infield single and Escobar's throw sailed past first baseman Logan Morrison for Minnesota's second throwing error of the inning.
Miguel Sano gave the Twins a 6-4 lead with an RBI single in the eighth.
Ryan Pressly (1-1) got the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 14th save.
Hardy pitched six-plus innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk. Hardy, who replaced Jordan Zimmermann in the rotation, is expected to make at least one more start before Zimmermann and Francisco Liriano return from the disabled list.
Jake Odorizzi started for Minnesota, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out four while throwing 102 pitches.
The Twins took a 1-0 lead by manufacturing a run in the third. With one out, Adrianza reached on an infield single, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Ryan LaMarre's sacrifice fly.
Jose Iglesias tied the game with a one-out RBI triple in the fourth and scored on Leonys Martin's sacrifice fly.
While on third base after his fourth-inning triple, Iglesias had to dive to the ground to avoid being hit by teammate Dixon Machado's line drive. He broke his fall with his hands and snapped off three quick push-ups before jumping back to his feet.
Twins: Minnesota signed RHP Matt Belisle to a major league contract and he joined the team in Detroit. To make room for him, the Twins designated INF Gregorio Petit for assignment.
Tigers: C James McCann (flu) missed his second straight game, but was available to pinch hit. The Tigers recalled C Grayson Greiner from Triple-A Toledo to back up John Hicks until McCann recovers.
The teams play the second of a three-game series Wednesday night. Minnesota RHP Jose Berrios (7-4, 3.66 ERA) faces Matthew Boyd (4-4, 3.20).
Adrianza, Twins Slam Tigers 6-4

Here's the pitch: it's a psychological thriller that's a cross between "Fight Club" and "The Fly," set in the world of professional ballet. It can't miss!
Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis are a pair of ballerinas competing for the professional and personal attentions of their ballet director, played by Vincent Cassel in director Darren Aronofsky's new film, "Black Swan."
Throughout the trailer we watch as Portman slowly loses her grip, falling deeper and deeper into despair. Rumors that Kunis' character is actually an facet of Portman's tortured psyche appear to be true, which would make the much ballyhooed sex scene between the two actresses all the more fraught.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The camera work, the tension, the music, the drama are all vintage Aronofsky, a man whose has plumbed the depths of many a dark side as director of "The Wrestler," "Requiem for a Dream" and "Pi."
Portman and Cassel are both known quantities, but it's great to see Kunis apparently making the most of her chance to take her career to another level. Her film career since "That '70s Show" has been spotty, but she was great in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and did nice job in "Book of Eli."
And man does Barbara Hershey come off as all sorts of creepy as Portman's doting stage mother.
"Black Swan" arrives Dec. 1.

Lakim Faust dressed himself in black one Friday in June, grabbed a pistol-grip shotgun and 100 rounds of ammunition and walked out the door of his apartment in Greenville, N.C. with one intention - to shoot and kill a large number of people.
The 23-year-old gunman shot his first victim, an insurance adjuster sitting in a parked car, before calmly walking across the street and shooting three others in a Wal-Mart parking lot, according to local police reports. Eventually the police shot and subdued the gunman.
Because no one died in the rampage, this incident was not classified as a mass killing and likely would have escaped deeper scrutiny. But after last year's attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., killed 20 students and six staff members, the FBI began studying events like these to develop new ways to respond and save lives.
Active shooters are defined by the FBI as gunmen who arrive on the scene with the specific intent to commit mass murder. Unlike other mass killings or mass shootings, this sub-set does not include incidents such as bank robberies or drug deals that may turn lethal.
According to the FBI, there is a disturbing rise in the number of "active shooter" incidents across America, like the Greenville attack. The FBI is basing its conclusion on data collected by a Texas State University researcher that was exclusively obtained by Scripps News. The data shows the number of active shooter events in the U.S. has tripled in recent years. "There is a higher number of people being shot and a higher number of people being killed," said special agent Katherine Schweit, head of the FBI's active shooter team which formed after last year's rampage in Newtown.
The data reveals that active shooters target places large and small, with most incidents going largely unnoticed outside of the immediate community. In Tulsa, Okla., in 2012, two gunmen drove around town opening fire at random African-Americans, killing three people. At Inskip Elementary School in Knoxville, Tenn. a school employee opened fire on administrators in 2010. In Lake Butler, Fla., this past August, a former trucking company employee drove around the city on a Saturday morning and shot two former co-workers and his one-time boss, killing two before arriving home, where he shot himself.
This year, recent high profile active shooting incidents include an attack at the Los Angeles International Airport where a gunman killed a Transportation Security Administration officer and wounded two other agents. In September, a gunman killed 12 people inside a heavily secured building at the Washington, D.C., Navy Yard.
The Scripps review of the active shooter data found a total of 14 attacks this year, with gunmen shooting 73 people and killing 39. Four of those incidents resulted in shootings but no fatalities. "The characteristics that bind them together unfortunately is (the) shooter's desire to kill" said Special Agent Schweit, and to kill "as many people and kill them as fast and freely as he may be able to " she said in an exclusive interview with Scripps.
The FBI's new team does not yet keep its own statistics on active shootings but has turned to information collected by outside researchers, most notably those at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. Dr. Peter Blair is an associate professor of criminal justice at Texas State and has been evaluating active shooter data which show an average of 5 incidents per year from 2000 to 2008. But from 2009 to the present the number rose to an average of 15 per year. Blair attributes much of the rise to events that might escape attention from other researchers.
"Most of these are the much smaller events that end, fortunately, before a lot of people are killed," said Blair. "Workplaces are the most commonly attacked places," he said.
Prior to Newtown, Blair and Texas State had already created a training academy for police officers responding to an active shooting event. The training, which focuses on rapid response techniques, include life-like scenarios where officers enter scenes with mass casualties and have to neutralize the shooter as fast as possible.
Blair said in past events, such as the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School, police would remain outside a building until a trained SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team arrived on the scene. Today, he teaches police not to wait. Blair says even the lone officer on the scene needs to intervene in an attack, emphasizing that body counts can rise in an active shooting event with every passing second.
"The shooter knows that he's on the clock," said Blair "He knows people are coming for me, they're going to stop me, and I have to do as much damage as I can as quickly as I can."
Another resource the FBI has looked to, is research on mass casualties from Dr. John Nicoletti, an expert in workplace and school violence based in Lakewood, Colo. Nicoletti found 74 percent of those events last year took place with the assailant walking in the main entrance.
Nicoletti also found that the majority of attackers were insiders, or people that were known by their victims. According to Nicoletti's research, the majority of attackers openly talk about their strikes before they happen and he believes that makes many attacks preventable.
"You shouldn't have an attack from an insider in this day and age," he said. "What they do is they broadcast before they attack. They tell you what they are about to do either on their websites or some way." It's what Nicoletti calls 'the thrill of the thought.' "I mean what fun would it be to be an avenger if folks didn't know you were coming to get them?" he said.
Nicoletti warns there is a big difference in risk between an unhappy worker who threatens a lawsuit against his or her employer, and someone who talks openly about some type of violence.
"As long as they're suing you they won't be shooting you," he said. "If they lose, the risk factor goes up. The risk for attack behavior goes down if they are going to the media or court."
Both Nicoletti and Blair have also studied past incidents to look for what civilians can do to maximize chances of survival during an active shooter incident. Escaping the building as fast as possible is the best option. But if escape is not possible, both advise getting behind a locked door, or creating a barricade that would be difficult for a shooter to penetrate.
"If you look at all the shootings, in all the years, in all the locations, they've never taken time to kick down or shoot through a locked door," Nicoletti said. Blair urges reforms in the manner in which schools are constructed.
"We designed schools for fire. We designed exits and ways to get out. And we haven't had any school children killed in fire incidents in the last 50 years in schools," he said. "We've had a lot of kids killed in active shooter events. We ought to be looking at how do we design schools to facilitate survival."
Some respected criminologists caution that the apparent rise in active shooter events, may not in fact be real.
"I'd be hesitant to declare trends based off a modest number of years and a modest amount of data," said Dr. James Alan Fox of Northeastern University, an expert in mass shootings who served on President Clinton's advisory panel on school shootings. Fox warns that researchers may have a difficult time finding older cases. "The question is in 2003, are you sure that all those cases that would today be called active shooters would have been locatable," said Fox. According to Fox's own research, the number of "mass killings" has stayed relatively flat over the last 35 years.
The FBI's active shooter team concedes it has plenty of room to grow in understanding the events themselves. But they are not waiting for all of the answers before taking action. This year, the team has trained more than 1,300 law enforcement officers who represent more than 500 police departments across the nation. In addition, this year the FBI has met with nearly 10,000 commanders and leaders of law enforcement agencies to share best practices and lessons learned.
FBI agent Schweit says this free training is critically important because many active shooter events happen in smaller communities with police departments that often have 20 or fewer officers on staff.
Next year, the FBI plans to expand its training focus to include helping get paramedics into a "warm" or even "hot zone," where a shooter might still be active. Schweit says "That's new, because we know it saves lives."

Bank of England moves to boost British economyJune 14, 2012: 5:15 PM ET
The Bank of England and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are working on new policies to support the British economy, BoE governor Mervyn King said Thursday.
"With signs of a deterioration in the outlook, especially in world markets, the case for a further monetary easing is growing," King said in a speech to business leaders in London.
King said he is working with Chancellor George Osborne on a "funding for lending" scheme to help spur bank lending and stimulate economic activity.
"In present circumstances, when private sector spending is depressed by extreme uncertainty, there may be a case for a scheme to underwrite risks which the market itself is unwilling to take," said King.
The scheme would provide funding to banks for "several years" at rates below current market rates, he said. The funding would be linked to the banks' performance in lending to the real economy "during the present period of heightened uncertainty."
The program could support an estimated 80 billion pounds in new lending, sources told the Financial Times. In addition, the BoE will activate a six-month liquidity program Friday for banks to borrow no less than 5 billion pounds a month, the newspaper said.
The goal is to "tackle the high level of funding costs directly," said King. He hopes the plan will be in place within a few weeks.
Speaking at the same event, Osborne said the program will "inject new confidence into our financial system and support the flow of credit to where it is needed in the real economy."
"We are not powerless in the face of the eurozone debt storm," Osborne added.
Osborne said euro area nations need to move towards greater political and economic integration to make the currency union sustainable. "But it may take Greek exit to make it happen," he added.
Greek voters will return to the polls Sunday in a repeat of last month's inconclusive Parliamentary election. The election is being framed as a potential catalyst for Greece to exit the euro area.
"That is a decision for the Greek people," said Osborne. "A time for decision has come."
Osborne said he had doubts about the euro project from the start, recalling that his party opposed membership in the currency union.
"But we should all be clear that it is strongly in Britain's interests for our biggest trading partners to succeed," the Chancellor said. "The risks for our economy of a disorderly collapse of the euro are huge."
The comments from King and Osborne come as investors nervously await the results of Greek elections on Sunday. Rumors of possible coordinated actions by central banks around the globe to boost liquidity if needed lifted stocks Thursday.
