Throwback Thursday: Drip Dry
Throwback Thursday is a column on Beauty Counter in which we pore over the pages of our favorite glossies from decades past in search of a little modern-day makeup and hair inspiration.
The Model: Christy Turlington Burns
The Moment: Wet Hair
The Motivation: We admit we're huge Christy Turlington Burns fans, but right now it seems the whole fashion world is, too. From Harper's Bazaar's U.S. June/July cover to a new Calvin Klein underwear ad (where she reprises her role from the late eighties), this original super is proving that the nineties really are back. Not only does the above Nick Knight-lensed shot provide one more example of how gorgeous this top model is, but it highlights another trend: wet hair. We spotted damp strands (considered one of hairstylist Guido Palau's trademark looks) on the Fall runways at Prada, Marni, and Giambattista Valli. A dip in the pool (or in the case of today's NYC weather, getting caught in the rain) never looked so chic.—Tara Lamont-Djite

Video Of Akira Corassani Calling Out Conor McGregor To Fight On UFC on FOX Sports 1.
lol dude, you want to be beaten bad? xD
swedish douche
I don't think he should get a shot at McGregor based on this whack a$$ video. Dude is corny. Also, I concur with lal, Akira will get beaten bad.
who the fudge does this guy think he is? this would be a step down in competition after the brimmage fight for mcgregor. mcgregor needs to fight a better opponent
@LAL Beaten Bad you say? At least one of the few who has balls to ask for dangerous opponents. Willing to take a high risk challenge for great reward. If you worried about being beaten in this sport perhaps you are watching the wrong sport from you comfy sofa.He's got my respect and I'm sure more importantly Dana and company. They love that s***.
Please no. The only people I would care to see him face on that card that I think would be available are Poirier (That would be a huge momentum-shift fight.) or Brandao.
Akira is okay for swede but the Irish badass will make him hurt
Conor would smash him so hard his fruity hat won't fit on his head anymore.
The problem with akari is that he has no gas. I think he is a decent fighter but he needs to train more cardio. I think Conor would win but I also think it would be a good fight to watch but not a good fight for Akari.
Why is he signing his death warrant and UFC walking papers?
Conner will smash Akira! I give him an A for effort though, didn't watch vid, maybe I should have to give him an accurate grade for effort?!
I can see why Akira wants this fight but there's not too much in it for Conor. When Conor beats Akira its what everyone expected and should Conor lose it brings him down the rankings. Conor's first ufc fight was very impressive and I'd rather see him fight a higher profile fighter next.

"While some economists are declaring the recession over, and although the stock market continues to rise, those on the bottom of the economic ladder are seeing fewer improvements to their day-to-day lives. The number of Americans who receive assistance from the government in the form of food stamps continues to rise-the total number of food stamp recipients is now up to more than 10 percent of the total population. Here is how many people have been using food stamps for the nine months from September, 2008, to last May."
Yes, there are trailers for books now, too:
Roadkill meets gourmet cuisine in this wicked campaign by Susette.
Dead But Not Wasted does several things: It refers to our growing numbness and disability to empathize or even be shocked by certain conditions. At the same time it addresses our ignorance to what we eat. It shows how we want to be deceived - not to question further than the label or the price tag. And it opens up the possibility of a rare, new food source - who knows maybe it is even tasty and somewhat nutritious.. at least no animals were harmed in the process…
Imagine there was a pill that would feed all of us..
No more grocery shopping distress.
No one would have to work to get nutrition.
Would the introduction of the pill mean the end to economic crisis?
The answer to saving energy?
We would all stay slim and would have more time to exercise.
Would we all look the same, too?
Imagine a world where there was a pill and no more food… what reasons would we have to gather for a romantic picnic? What would we do with all the hours and energy and resources spend in the production, preparing, consumption and celebration of food..
Dustin was unsettled by a documentary he had seen on the scenes behind the scenes of this mega enterprise. In faithful détournement manner he approached CC's wrong side and appropriated its style and visual language to almost innocently tell another truth..
Let's admit it there is also the right time for the wrong food. Francesca thoroughly scouted Berlin for junk pearls and created this map for the after hours.
Just found again a few student projects from the MFA Interdisciplinary Design at Parsons The New School in NYC… {http://transdesign.parsons.edu/}
Food Fights. Infrastructures of Power.
by Aaron Cansler & Benjamin Winter
"Our group was formed with the intention of exploring the roles of various institutional structures in their relationship to food production, distribution, and consumption. [….]"
Exploring Networks of Health

Food Systems Research Synopsis
by Bland Hoke
"Food Systems are complex, interconnected and widespread networks of individuals, organizations, and consumables. In researching the urban food ecosystem in Hunts Point, the Food Systems group sought to understand three segments of the system including: the influences public and private organizations have on food distribution; large aid organizations' influence on the distribution of food to low income populations, and the infrastructures of food. The team used methods that included literary research, fieldwork, interviews, and observations."
via Shryia and Adriana: http://newyork.thecityatlas.org/
There are some nice food projects, too.
"Vegetables will come from rooftop gardens and community plots; fish will feed off plankton in our kitchen tanks; ants, worms and grasshoppers will flavour breads; urban beehives will supply our honey; soil will be an ingredient; and meat will be a rare treat."
At Copenhagen's inaugural Mad FoodCamp, international food professionals define lurking food problems and cook up some solutions..
The challenge is..
"In a world of about 7 billion people, food security is a big challenge - and it's about to get bigger. Already, nearly a billion people suffer from chronic hunger. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation, the population will rise to 9 billion by 2050. In order to feed everyone, food production needs to increase by 70 per cent. Annual cereal production needs to rise by a third to about 3 billion tonnes and annual meat production by more than 200 million tonnes to 470 million tonnes."
Adrian, this might be interesting for you:
"Last year, the US Science journal delved into insect-eating, saying "the quest for food security may require us all to reconsider our eating habits, particularly in view of the energy consumption and environmental costs that sustain those habits"."
Susette, check this out:
"With urban gardens, we can produce 50 tonnes of food per hectare sustainably in cities," Thomas Harttung (farmer + activist) says. "New York City alone has the potential to create over 3 million tonnes of food each year using rooftops, parks, and private yards."
"Our cities also have the potential to become major suppliers of honey, says the executive director of the European Environment Agency, Jacqueline McGlade."
More? Sure!
at the HKW in Berlin.
"Water and food are elementary necessities for humanity. So where should we even begin to understand these things that meander through all areas of our physical and psychological lives? It has always been my artistic principle to adapt myself to these things, and to join the flow of their nature and their primordial conditions."

Amazing project by an amazing artist!
You can watch the documentary about FOOD on ubuweb.
About the Documentary:
"This film documents the legendary SoHo restaurant and artists' cooperative Food, which opened in 1971. Owned and operated by Caroline Goodden, Food was designed and built largely by Matta-Clark, who also organized art events and performances there. As a social space, meeting ground and ongoing art project for the emergent downtown artists' community, Food was a landmark that still resonates in the history and mythology of SoHo in the 1970s. "

Agriculture in the city
"Nomadisch Grün (Nomadic Green) launched Prinzessinnengärten(Princess gardens) as a pilot project in the summer of 2009 at Moritzplatz in Berlin Kreuzberg, a site which had been a wasteland for over half a century. Along with friends, fans, activists and neighbours, the group cleared away rubbish, built transportable organic vegetable plots and reaped the first fruits of their labour."
"The OS (OpenStructures) project explores the possibility of a modular construction model where everyone designs for everyone on the basis of one shared geometrical grid. It initiates a kind of collaborative Meccano to which everybody can contribute parts, components and structures."
It opens up a collaborative and innovative playground for great design solutions..

"a zine to unfold and hang up. Every issue contains a vegetarian recipe to cook and (at least) one song to listen to. And that's how it comes up:
> There is a musician (at least one) who choses an ingredient
> I think about a recipe
> We meet, I cook, musician has to be present but doesn't cook
> We eat
> And after that musician makes a song, or more than one (inspired by the food, its preparation and the whole situation)
> I illustrate and print (silkprint) the recipe without any text, if understandable."

A comprehensive photo essay of the small parts that make up masses of municipal waste.
"Sometimes unconventional concepts and solutions come from thinking the opposite way."
We are all excited about food one way or another. We've been investigating tasty food, social food, healthy food, utopian food, political food and beautiful food. We researched and also designed good food initiatives and interventions trying to make the world a growing, sustainable and nutritious place. That's good enough for now.
Tired of improvement? Exhausted of coming up with healthy and politically correct solutions? Bored of being right? What if we were to come up with solutions to make EVERYTHING go WRONG?
Here's how our team of fed up thinkers will envision the worst in 10 simple steps:
01 Take a break.
02 Zoom out! Go outside, explore, observe and find inspiration.
03 Stumble upon something that catches your interest. Stop and wonder why.
04 Zoom in!
05 Once you have an idea, hold it & work with it.
06 Turn your idea around and develop an evil, destructive, dystopian, moldy, disastrous concept for The Wrong Campaign! It is still all about food, naturally.
07 Write down your proposal in 150 words.
08 Make a Master Plan of how you will accomplish and realize your vicious goal! Include when you will do what. You have five in-class sessions remaining.
09 Get feedback & support throughout your process.
10 Prepare your presentation & show us what you got.
Get ready for deconstruction!
at Food Pieces, center for food-related research and design solutions:
Stay tuned as we are finalizing our picnic-as-tool concepts and preparing design manuals for you to apply to your next picnic and change the way you thought, approached or consumed your life!
On our menu we'll offer a 'Kiez' food bus tour to go deep local, a networking picnic to celebrate your community and taste your neighbors favorite treats, a magic hour picnic that is quite magic, a business picnic that'll make you drop your tie, a highly contagious guerilla gardening family affair, a diplomacy food intervention that'll make you forget about McDonalds, a food prep game to bond with the colleagues that you haven't bonded yet, a picnic tool kit for high school students to explore and taste their local nature and learn how to become friends with an otter, a snack attack to boost you with energy when you don't expect it but need it the most and mucho mucho mas!
It's cooking. Stay hungry!
"Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft, die über Herkunft, Inhalt und Bedeutung ihrer Nahrung so wenig Bescheid weiß wie keine zuvor.

how to maintain your creativity in 29 simple steps.
..no matter what you're working on:
"We get our ideas from what I'm going to call for a moment our unconscious — the part of our mind that goes on working, for example, when we're asleep. So what I'm saying is that if you get into the right mood, then your mode of thinking will become much more creative. But if you're racing around all day, ticking things off a list, looking at your watch, making phone calls and generally just keeping all the balls in the air, you are not going to have any creative ideas." ~ John Cleese

"On May 21st three brave people on bikes took off to find the mysterious Waste Mountain in Kępa Zawadzka 15km south, on the fringes of Warsaw. On the way we explored the landscapes and flora of the wild Vistula bank. We also had a horseradish eating competition, did embroideries, found a secret motorcycle racetrack, listened to genuine country music performed at the local market, admired a sea of sand next to an ocean of dandelions, drank water with stickyweed to become radiative. Finally we reached the ghastly grey mountain hidden in an artificial valley and surrounded by lovely green hills and a natural reserve. The grey powder is waste produced during the burning process at the Siekierki power plant visible in the distance.

New urbanism?
Check out the other attempts in re-shaping the city: http://www.babelgum.com/3021540#
Young urbanites of our generation, you are seriously confused! All these options, everywhere, all the time. An over abundance of positivity and possibilities. We know, it can get overwhelming sometimes..
Therefore our team of critical designers and forward thinkers have developed a range of picnic formats that will come to the rescue and cause instant relief. They have designed the perfect picnic for you. These orchestrated encounters will employ the social aspects of a picnic to cause a rupture in your daily routine and a pause in the constant chase of information and unreflected consumption. In addition to that the picnic format will be coupled with a matching activity that will help process your thoughts, enhance clarity, instigate a fresh exchange and new awareness. This highly motivational Picnic as a Tool will help you push things forward and into immediate action. Hence, the perfect solution for a lunch break. You can see it as a hacked picnic or an advanced workshop. Either way you can book us ANYTIME in any weather. The remedy is just a picnic away! Yours sincerely, Young urban picnic developers.
Write a concept for a picnic format that will work as a social pause and a workshop to enhance awareness, motivation and sideway thinking. Define your target group. Set a location for a picnic. It can be indoors, outdoors, on the go, etc. Keep in mind the particular needs of the young urbanites. Design a food concept and an activity that will support each other and enhance the outcome of your anticipated cure. The food and the activity will have to match up. Develop a look and define aesthetics to communicate your kind of picnic experience. Visualize your ideas using existing materials and your own sketches to create an atmosphere that describes the feeling of how this picnic will be experienced. Think sustainable and ad hoc. Think all weather. Think urban. Think sideways. Prepare your picnic pitch so it can be presented during an outdoor picnic. You can use your research and that of your fellow researchers as a point of departure BUT move beyond!
Part 1
Due Monday, May 16 // Concept draft and visual ideas Pitch your idea during the next session within a picnic format & receive group feedback.
Part 2
Due Monday, May 23 // Revise your draft according to the feedback received during the first pitch. Develop and plan a prototype event. Design an invitation of your ideal picnic solution and post it on your tumblr.
Part 3
Due Monday, May 30 // Stage "your" Picnic and document it. Present your documentation in class
Part 4
Due Monday, June 6 // All your components will be published in a handbook/catalogue including all students contributions - each picnic format will be represented by concept writing, documentation of prototype and invitation to the picnic. Prepare your contribution in the right format and layout so we can "produce" the handbook in class.
"Fruit City is a growing map and network of all the fruit trees in public spaces in London. Logged and mapped by the Fruit City team and you.
Yes we live in a sometimes harsh urban sprawl, but nature is all around us. Much of the fruit we buy in the city is from far flung places like Spain, Brazil and Chile, but literally tons of fruit grows in our own fair city. Don't believe us? Check the Map. Where do you live? Blackberries, Mulberries, Apples, Pears, Plums, Figs, Strawberries and even some secret Kiwis.
We're not saying that every Londoner can get all the fruit they need from the city streets right now and through the year, but a load of the fruit from the trees that do bear goes to waste unpicked.
What if we could get the most out of our London? […]"
Just the other week we talked about dumpster diving and now the local street magazine Motz put it on their front cover. It finally arrived in Berlin..
At the same time Die Zeit focussed in their latest issue on -what else could it be - food! Essen als Heimat / Food as Home.
We're in good company and are riding on the Zeitgeist wave. Naturally our research team is now challenged to go beyond the newly established comfort zone and remain critical AND excited about this tasty topic!
We took a trip 'up' to Prenzlauer Berg to check out the latest developments and concept stores around edible delights.
We found tapioca balls that burst in your mouth. An ice cream parlor that offers fish lunches. And a store hybrid between a cafe and a flower shop gone zoo.. We also visited the Kochhaus which Nora claimed to be the "perfect emergency store for male singles who want to impress their date for once."

Essential Tools to Keep Your Camera Clean
We've all been there: you're sitting at your computer reviewing photos from your recent trip and you notice every single one has a dark spot in the same space. While a Lady Macbeth diatribe may make you feel better for a moment, learning how to care for your camera may prove more fruitful...
Of course, the best cleaning for your precious DSLR would be in the hands of a professional. But for those who are confident in their cleaning skills, there are some fairly simple DIY maintenance solutions.
1. Removing dust via air. Do not use canned compressed air. Use an "air blaster" like this one from Amazon which is pictured in the top image. The air blaster is inexpensive, $12.50, and is useful for more than just cleaning your camera (we also use ours to clean our laptop screens).
2. Cleaning the camera sensor: If the air blaster doesn't do the trick, you probably need to clean your sensor. This friends, is where things can get very dicey. The sensor is a very, very delicate piece of equipment that is easily damaged. The nasty part is if damaged, the cost of fixing the sensor is almost the price of a new camera! We've cleaned sensors ourselves and also have had cameras cleaned by professionals. We will admit that having a pro clean the camera gave us much better peace of mind, so consider if this if you're not confident about damaging your photography gear. Here are a couple of videos discussing the process:
If you decide to clean the sensor yourself, it's vital that you use the correct tool. This tool is the sensor cleaning kit (like the one shown above which costs $32.79), which are specific to the model of your camera. Remember how much we emphasized how easily the sensor can be damaged? Buy the right sensor cleaning kit and follow the directions. Sensor cleaning is not the time to experiment with that nifty homebrew cleaning solution or to whip out a cotton swab and have at it. Get the right tool for the job and exercise caution, your camera (and wallet) will thank you.

It's worth noting that many new digital cameras will self clean their sensor
Am I the only person that thought "Enema of Mass Destruction" while looking at the air blaster?
I think cleaning your own sensor is just a bad idea. Sure you can save some money, but what happens if you get it wrong? I send mine to http://www.perfectimagerepair.com Wes will do a clean and check for $59.95 and ship it out the same day he receives it. It's worth it before a trip. If you use my referral code you will get a discount too :) CLEANPICSJW
As for the self cleaning cameras. That's just a marketing ploy. They will still need to have an occasional swab as the vibration only loosens some of the crud.
No love for the lens pen? Or are we just talking camera bodies at this point?
I think cleaning the sensor yourself is fine. Wiebner's comment sounded too much like an ad to begin with, and then they put that referral code in . . .
Thank you for the Lady MacBeth reference. Nicely subtle, but brain-sparking nonetheless. Well done.
@Adventrising Sometimes the truth can sound like an ad, and please don't tell me that you never use coupons ;) Perfect Image is a brick and mortar store in my town. It's just a guy who does quality repair work for me and all of the other grateful photographers in the area. I wanted to share his name and hopefully bring him a little business and give you a great experience. I am a pro photographer. If you Google my last name you will easily find me and my wife, as I am the only Wiebner photographer that ever comes up. I apologize if it came across as spammy to you, but it's not like I posted irrelevant info.
BTW, please don't ever use a lens pen on your sensor. The brush end is too abrasive and the pad end has a fine polymer that will just make your dust issue infinitely worse.
I'm a photographer and I constantly change lenses on my camera bodies 7 days a week. I can't stress enough how BAD of an idea cleaning your own sensor is. There's just too must risk involved, in my opinion. With enough patience and know-how, it can be done. But just like buying cheap UV filters for expensive lenses, there's no sense cutting corners when you invest in quality equipment. The occasional sensor cleaning is money well-spent and a quality air blaster is a must with any gear bag. That being said, I give my sensor a good blast of air every few days and rarely need to have the sensors cleaned. They really do work wonders.
I may be stating the obvious, but when using an air blaster, remember to hold the camera with the lens mount facing DOWN blasting air UP into the camera; that way any dust falls down and out, rather than swirling particles around and having it land on the sensor.

About Macy's
Macy's coupons take the stress out of shopping by giving you discounts on goods from this historical department store. Since it's founding by Rowland Hussey Macy in 1858, Macy's has grown into a New York landmark in addition to spreading 850 locations across 45 states and U.S. territories. Whether you shop in these stores or online, you can get clothing, shoes, furniture, and beauty products without worrying about spending too much. All you have to do is select a Macy's coupon from the list below to save money on the stuff you want by the brands you love most.
Over the years, Macy's has become synonymous with American holidays—and holiday shopping. It garnered public attention early on by having an in-store Santa Claus every year during the weeks leading up to Christmas. In 1924, however, Macy's began perhaps its best-known holiday tradition: the Thanksgiving Day Parade that takes over New York City's streets from Central Park to Macy's Herald Square. Not stuffing season? No worries, you can still save with Macy's coupons from Groupon Freebies, which grant discounts that make your life both fashionable and comfortable.
While Macy's headquarters are in Cincinnati, the retail giant is probably best known for its flagship store in Herald Square. In addition to its title as the largest Macy's in the world, this location also places shoppers nearby other New York landmarks such as Madison Square Garden and the Empire State Building. In terms of retail sales, Macy's was also dubbed the largest U.S. retailer in 2012. That makes it an ideal place to shop for everything from new clothes and jewelry to kitchen essentials by KitchenAid, Calphalon, and the Martha Stewart Collection. And because Macy's website is one of the most visited retail sites, any Macy's promo code makes ordering these products even easier.
Are you ready to shop at Macy's? Don't forget to select a Macy's promo code from the list below to get discounts on shipping and products that you can pick up in store or purchase over the Internet—one of nature's greatest mysteries.

I installed a multiple zone system in my house with speakers in 6 rooms, including the back patio. I have options for up to 3 inputs, creating 3 "zones", which I've defined by (1) Lower level, (2) First Floor, (1) outdoors. The zones can be the same or different, and I have controls in each "zone" that allow that selection. What I'm looking for now is a remote operation solution that I can do without re-wiring the whole thing. I want to get a digital media server - basically a big MP3 player - and I'm hoping to find a way to control it over my homes wireless network, eliminating the need for keypads, IR remote repeaters, or similar. I'm thinking a PDA with WiFi can connect to the network, and if the Media Server I buy has either wired or wireless network access, then all that's missing is the software. Any ideas on how to make this happen? I can't find any product like this, and my dealer says he's never heard of anything like it.
I have setup similar to what you describe. I use a Windows MCE PC as a PVR and music server that sits in my AV rack. I use a small tablet PC running VNC to remote into the MCE via the 802.11b/g network. From there I can control all functions of the PC (change channels, tracks, adjust volume) My HP Digital Entertainment Center came with IR Blasters that are normally used to control an external cable box but might be able to be used to control other AV hardware such as a receiver. If Logitech can put software on a Harmony remote control that can do it, someone can write the code for a PC to do it! Question is whether that has been done yet or not…
Hope this gets you on the right track.
Are there any companies that specialise in setting up these sorts of ultra-high-end systems?
There is a list of installers in the US and Canada right on this site - you can access it by clicking on the "Installers" link at the top right of any page from the site…
Ah, thanks. Are there particular ones you would cite as being best-known across the US, most established, award-winning, etc?
Alison—In general, integration firms focus on a specific segment of the country, so local companies are usually the best place to start. Beyond that, you can check with the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA)—http://www.cedia.net—for licensure and accreditation information.
Hope that helps!—mac

Consider the NevoSL remote. it allows any computer to become a server of audio and works over wifi.
So what I ended up doing was buying a software package for about $20 off of the net (shareware) that is a pseudo remote-control package for Windows CE to Windows XP. I set up a basic Windows XP PC with 512MB RAM, 2 300GB hard drives, and a CD-ROM drive. It's connected to my TV for those times when I need a "monitor". I run Windows Media Player with a few dozen playlists and all of my CD's ripped into it. I can control it all through my wireless network in the house using either my PDA or my cell phone, which happens to be a Windows CE phone. I can select a song, a playlist, skip, rewind, stop, start, shuffle, and all of the important functions from anywhere in range of my wireless router - including the patio. I have volume controls in each room already, so it works great.
The only downside - The PC sometimes gets cranky when I wake it up via the remote control software, and I have to go and manually reboot it. Oh, well… not perfect, but it only cost me $20 plus the recycled PC parts.

Terre Haute, Ind. (WHAS11)- Tensions ran high inside an Indiana courthouse Tuesday, after a hearing for a murder case.
The brawl at the Vigo County Courthouse followed a deadly shooting outside a bar in Terre Haute Friday.
The suspected shooter appeared via teleconference for this first hearing, and afterward his supporters began fighting with supporters for the victim.
The brawl started in the courthouse halls and spilled onto the front lawn before police broke it up.
The people involved could face charges.
"Let us do our job. Let the system work, and don't try to take justice into your own hands, or otherwise we're going to have to charge you and you're going to be arrested and you're going to be in jail, so...that's the worst thing.. It makes it worse for everybody involved," says Prosecutor Terry Modessit.
A 17-year-old girl was arrested on a warrant, after officers received reports that she hid a knife under a bush.
No one was hurt.

I make this about every 2-3 months. I follow the recipe to the "T", and it comes out very moist & tasty. Everyone in my family loves this recipe, and I love making it!
forestfairy123 Posted: 08/08/12
I used nutmeg and allspice, also substituted stevia for the sugar. I should have inverted the pan while it was cooling, because it compressed in on itself, but was still very tastey. I will make this again.
BlueeyedSara7 Posted: 02/10/13
Really good cake that I've made several times. Sometimes I followed the recipe exactly and other times I've tossed in some chcocolate chips or I've replaced the banana liqueur with hazelnut liqueur.

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The $33-billion merger between Glencore and Xstrata is now expected to be finalised only by April 16.
The parties had previously extended the deadline for the deal to March 15. The merger had initially been expected to be completed by the end of last year.
The completion of the merger remained conditional upon the receipt of the outstanding regulatory approval in China.

TEAMS: Miami Heat, New York Knicks
MIAMI -- LeBron James and four teammates chatted for several minutes under a basket after the Miami Heat finished practice on Friday afternoon, each player sporting a serious look for the entirety of the conversation. For the first time this season, the reigning NBA champions are dealing with some real trouble. Back-to-back losses -- at Washington on Tuesday, then by 20 points at home against a New York Knicks team that didn't even have Carmelo Anthony on Thursday -- have soured the Heat mood. Add that to some poor defensive numbers and Miami already needing six late rallies before closing out wins so far this season, and it's easy to see why no one seemed to be laughing at work on Friday. "When you win everything's great. When you lose everything's bad," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "That's how it works." As Wade spoke, James was chatting about 50 feet away with Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem and James Jones, a few of them sometimes ges...

The Tampa Bay Rays look to rebound against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, but they will have to do it without All-Star David Price on the mound. The 2012 American League Cy Young winner, who leads the majors in strikeouts, was scratched from his scheduled start due to illness and Jake Odorizzi takes his place. The Rays hope Price can return Sunday against the injury-ravaged Blue Jays in the finale of the three-game series, which began with Toronto's 8-5 victory Friday.Tampa Bay surrendered 22 runs while losing three of its last four at home after a 9-2 road trip, but Ben Zobrist continues to shine with 16 hits in his last nine games. Jose Reyes is 9-for-15 in his last three contests and joins Melky Cabrera with a seven-game hitting streak for the Blue Jays. With Edwin Encarnacion, Adam Lind and Brett Lawrie already on the disabled list for Toronto, Munenori Kawasaki (hamstring) and Nolan Reimold (calf) left Friday's game with injuries.TV: 4:10 p.m. ET; SNET (Toronto), Sun Sports (Tampa Bay)PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Drew Hutchison (6-7, 3.86 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Odorizzi (4-8, 4.10)Hutchison lost three of his previous four starts and surrendered three or more runs in four of his last six outings. The 23-year-old Florida native is 2-0 against the Rays this season, including 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his season debut on April 1 at Tampa Bay. Desmond Jennings is 3-for-4 with a homer against Hutchison, who has struck out 93 and yielded 99 hits in 105 innings.Odorizzi moves up to pitch on normal rest after allowing a pair of runs over six innings in a loss to Kansas City on Monday, giving up two or fewer for the fifth time in six starts. The Illinois native boasts 109 strikeouts - 28 in the last four games -- over 94 1/3 innings. Cabrera is 2-for-3 against Odorizzi, who gave up three runs in five innings of a no-decision last season in his only outing against Toronto.WALK-OFFS1. Tampa Bay is unbeaten in 21 consecutive series (19-0-2) at home against the Blue Jays.2. Toronto 1B-OF Jose Bautista had two RBIs in the series opener and owns 21 homers in 91 career games against Tampa Bay. 3.

Olin & the Moon continue their Cabah residency on Tuesday night.
For the past couple weeks, I've been touting Olin & the Moon and Maxim Ludwig & the Santa Fe Seven -- and with good reason: Both bands totally rock. But this week, they're joined by Michael McGraw, who is celebrating his birthday, which makes tonight's show a little bit extra special. The residency has been going quite well, but there are only two shows left, and you don't want to be the person who missed these bands when you had the chance to see them, so get on over to the Casbah tonight and you'll see what I mean.

Cooking Inspiration: Do You Watch Cooking Shows on YouTube?
Like Dana and her obsession with Jamie Oliver's back episodes and Nigella Lawson clips, we often turn to YouTube for a little dose of inspiration and extra time with our favorite food gurus. What about you?
Until all the networks get on board with posting entire shows to their websites, we'll settle for the short clips that somehow make their way onto YouTube and similar sites. We spend the majority of the time just wandering from clip to clip with no real aim beyond finding ones we haven't seen before.
However, sometimes we have a vague recollection of a particular technique or recipe from a particular show that we'd like to see again. It can take a bit of searching with clever key words, but most of the time, we can find the clip we're looking for. This is particularly helpful if the recipe doesn't fully explain the technique being called for.
Do you find YouTube and other internet video sites useful for watching cooking shows?

YES! Tons and tons of good eats, Gordon Ramsay's f work series, jamie oliver's videos, and top chefs!
oh yes. the good eats episodes are particularly well organized... thank god for likethehat!
I look for particular techniques, which also leaves me thankful for likethehat. I rarely watch a whole cooking show, because usually most of it is not interesting to me.
But I'm totally making Nigella's chocolate cherry trifle this weekend.
And I use youtube for Martha Stewart-style demos (eg, how to tie a kind of bow, when written instructions just don't cut it).
I love looking up Good Eats episodes when I want to get the real scoop on an ingredient or technique. I wish it was available on Hulu or iTunes!
The only one I have ever bothered to watch on youtube is Good Eats. But really I watch it more because I find it hilarious than for cooking tips (Alton Brown's recipes seem to be pretty detailed on the Food Network site)
Some friends of mine run a diy cooking show on youtube. You can view it here:
There are only a few posts (they're relatively short too which is nice) and they're pretty good.
I would feel a little guilty about watching shows on youtube since the cooks I love aren't getting any money for it! Instead I just check stores for half off sales on DVD sets. Alton's show is totally worth buying, because you never know when you'll want a second look at how to butterfly a chicken...
My internet inspiration is mainly places like this or tastespotting.

|This paper deals with the identification of the flux for a system of conservation laws in the specific example of analytic chromatography. The fundamental equations of chromatographic process are highly non linear. The state-of-the-art Evolution Strategy, CMA-ES (the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy), is used to identify the parameters of the so-called isotherm function. The approach was validated on different configurations of simulated data using either one, two or three components mixtures. CMA-ES is then applied to real data cases and its results are compared to those of a gradient-based strategy.

I need examples of metaphors, similes, personification and imagery in part 2 of "Farenheit 451".
Please give a page reference.
1 Answer | Add Yours
There are so many versions of the book that a page number won't be helpful, but I as able to find plenty within the first few pages of the section, so look there for these descriptions. Bradbury uses figurative language techniques all throughout his novel, and in part two, there are many examples. As he and Mildred sit and read books, he uses a simile and metaphor (both are when you compare two things; similes use "like" or "as", whereas metaphors don't) to describe the parlor:
"He started at the parlor that was dead and gray as the waters of an ocean that might teem with life if they switched on the electric sun."
Here he compares the t.v. screens to a dead ocean, and the power switch to an electric sun. Right after this, he uses another simile to describe the jet bombers going overhead. He states that they are "whistling like an immense, invisible fan, circling in emptiness." He compares them to a fan that is just churning up emptiness, a symbol for the emptiness of their society. Later, when Montag goes back to the station briefly, Beatty describes the pages of books burning with a simile and metaphor:
"like the petals of a flower...each becomes a black butterfly...swarms of black moths that had died in a single storm."
The pages of the book are describes as flowers, moths, and butterflies, all of them dying; this is a great way to describe how books-beautiful, delicate, and powerful things-are destroyed by fire and their society.
I'll stop there, since the format of the website allows for one question per day. I hope that helped for similes and metaphors. For examples of imagery, look for any instance where Bradbury uses the 5 senses to describe things (sight, scent, sound, taste, touch), and for personifcation, try to find a description where he gives inanimate objects human-like traits.

We are very pleased with this school. The campus is beautiful and makes for a great learning environment. We have found the curriculum to be above and beyond the public schools and are happy with our child s level of knowledge for the grade. The staff, students and parents are all amazing. We are blessed to be a part of the OCS family!
This school is a truly amazing place for students to learn and grow stronger in their faith! The staff is dedicated to each and every student's academic success. As a parent, I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Odessa Christian School to any parent looking not just for a better alternative, but for the BEST opportunity for their son or daughter!!!
I'm very pleased with the staff @ OCS - very professional and friendly. This is the best school my son has been so far. This is the 4th school he enrolls since Pre-K. He is doing better academically. The teachers and the staff are very helpful. They care about the children as their own. Most teachers have their children go to school there. The school provides a family environment. Parents involment is huge. My second child will enroll in Kindergarten here next year.
As an administrator and a parent, I am so pleased here at OCS. Our staff exhibit a passion for Christ, a passion for teaching, and love and concern for one another. Our families become one big family. The education our students receive from a biblical worldview here at OCS on this amazingly beautiful campus is a blessing to my own children and to those who enter here. It is a place where young people learn to love to learn. In this day and age, our children need to learn how to evaluate and think, not just regurgitate what they have been shown. They need to learn to stand for what is right and not be ashamed. They need to learn respect and humility, and the joy of serving one another. These things, along with so many others, are what makes me glad at Odessa Christian School.
This is our first year at OCS and I can't say anough about this absolutely amazing and beautiful school! We are so blessed by the Lord to be able to give our son and eventually our daughter a strong academic/biblically-based education. The staff and teachers here at OCS are wonderful, loving & Godly people. We are one big happy family here at OCS & I am so greatful to be a part of that!

Lutefisk purchased in the U.S. has been rehydrated and must therefore be cooked carefully so that it does not become mushy. Properly prepared lutefisk should remain firm and look like what you see in the photo.
The History Of Lutefisk
Some Lutefisk History to Enjoy While Your Minnesota Lutefisk Recipes are Cooking.
There are sveral opinions about proper accompaniments to the lutefisk. Butter has already been mentioned by Olaus Magnus. Samuel Ödmann (born in 1750) writes about Christmas Eve in his grandfather's home, when "the meal was started by strongly PEPPERED lutfisk." Mustard and mustard sauce was used with fish by the Romans. In this country, mustard seems to be just as medieval as the lutefisk itself.

Reminds me of a song by the Bloodhound Gang...
Funny...or not, guess it depends how easily offended you are. If you are easily offended don't follow the link :)
BigBadGooz said...
"I kinda assumed all the other truck drivers spent their time doing meth and beating hookers. It is pretty cool to hear that nerds have taken to the roads as well."
i know this may be a joke but it is very offensive. I am a truck driver and here are a few things you should know.
1. we are drug tested constantly at least once a year. all truckers are in a basic lottory. what happens is a computer has every truck driver in the united states and it randomly picks drivers. you can be chosen once a month and if you are unlucky you can be chosen every month for a year. suffice to say most truck drivers are clean more like 99.9% excluding perscriptons.
2.in the 6 years i have been driving truck i have only had 2 hookers ever aproach my door mainly because i have a no lot lizzard sticker on my windows (basicaly i do not partake). also truckers are usualy perty friendly people untill you cut us off or hang out in our blind spots that 15 cars can hide in at any time. yes our blind spots can be that big so dont get too made if we move into ya.
some people think truck drivers are awfull drivers and some days i would agree with you but i would concider this. on your daily commute lisnting to traffic count how many car accidents there are in a day compaired to trucks. can almost gurantee you can almost go days without hearing about a truck accident. If you do the math trucks by a % of trucks get into less accidents than cars. Truck Drivers have that magical Class A CDL for a reason anyone with a class C could drive a truck with a little thinking but we are trained much better than any class c driver. by my companys statistic(we train drivers) 40% of everyone who attempts to get a Class A CDL fails to obtain one. if everyone who had to go through what we go through to maintain a licence our roads would be vacant.
now dunno what truck stops this writer has been at but the TA and Flying J truck stops provide decent enough wifi for me. Guess he dosent park near the antena.
BigBadGooz said...
and if you read my reply i said
" i know this may be a joke but its very offensive"
even so people have the preconception about truck drivers as you described.
also Viva La trucker revolution
even so people have the preconception about truck drivers as you described.
OMG, people have preconceptions? and some are right and some are wrong? and somebody died and left you in charge of tilting at windmills? and I suppose you have a little plaque that reads: Political Correctness Police Force.
Political Corectness actually kills people ... thinking truckers beat hooker doesn't ... which is worse?
6 years driving lol your still a greenhorn and yes there are quite a few drivers that still do drugs on a daily basis its not as bad as it was in the 80's but it does still happen. drug tests are done on a company basis not a nationwide basis, so if your company is shady (like alot of them out there that just want the frieght moved as fast and as cheap as they can) then they just keep sending a few back to get tested that they know will pass. this is based on 15 years of expereance as a driver.
Getting drug tested "at least once a year" as proof that "most truckers are drug free" is a joke. Man-made drugs, aka most of them, are out of your system after three days. The only ones that hang around longer are natural drugs like weed and shrooms.
I'm not implying that you are in some way wrong about most truckers being clean, but the only proof being a once-a-year drug test is very flimsy.
BigBadGooz said...
it is at least once a year not limited to once a year. yeah there are drugs that can be passed out in days. also to the person who said 6 years still means im a green horn. sorry sir i know plenty of drivers with 10-15 years of expierence that make rookie mistakes on a daily basis. Its now how long you have worked a truck its how well you work the truck.
Drug testing is not company policy/i can be shady if they want to. your results must be filed with dot how they handel it is not my area. Im not saying truckers dont use drugs im saying the vast majority know that that class A is thier meal tickit and livlyhood. One thing i know for sure is if a truck driver is in a accident heres how it chronicaly goes
long as you are not dead or dieing
1.Log book confiscated
2.Piss test
3.welcome to the hell that is finding a way that it is the drivers fault because you are the professional
BigBadGooz said...
and by accident i mean truck on it side or full on oh shit that looks like it hurts. even some minor crashes can get the above treatment.
local laws and how your state trooper feels like making your life hell. Btw i love you state trooper/highway police always good to see ya patroling making sure nobody jacks my truck.
Stannislaus said...
Typical douchenozzle responses here. What I'm disheartened to see is that despite this guy's dedication and hard work in order to play WoW on the road all you can think about is how funny of a joke you can make about it. Can't you just say "fuckin awesome work man!" and not try and belittle his job? I don't care about how politically correct he should or should not be, that's not the point of this article, nor the point of his job. No shit there are preconceived notions about any job. If, say, you worked in an insurance company, would it be awesome to hear that as soon as you just helped some poor family get a bunch of money on a settlement, some asshole said "Every insurance company worker is a thief and jerkoff because all they do is screw the common people out of their money"?
Grow the fuck up. I'm sure there are stereotypes about your job you don't want thrown in your face as soon as you do something cool and try and break the norm.
And OT: Fuckin awesome job man, I'm working in China atm with possibly the world's worst internet. I've been trying to talk to the IT department here about configuring the net for WoW, but none of them speak English and it seems pretty weak to make them go to all that trouble just so I can play a game. I'll play again when I get a chance :) In the meantime sites like wow.com and mmo champ help me stay up to date.

Notice: EOL consolidating GitHub accounts
Dear EOL developers:
The EOL Development Team will be making a change in the coming days which will consolidate our separate github accounts into a single account.
Previously our main EOL organization existed at http://github.com/EncyclopediaOfLife, however we are renaming this to replace the old http://github.com/eol.
You may find that after the change you will need to update your cloned repositories, which you can do by running:
git remote set-url origin new_url.
For the main EOL repository, this will be:
git remote set-url origin email@example.com:eol/eol.git
This change was put into place (Thursday) AM, which will give us time to update our deployment scripts before the next production deploy. After the change, our github organization will exist at http://github.com/eol
If you have any questions, please leave us a message. Thanks.

1999 was a spectacular vintage and a spectacular way to end the Millennium. A long, stable growing season, with intermittent cool spells, developed fruit with capacity for retaining natural acidity and healthy balance. Napa Valley's weather remained warm and dry throughout the growing season. Cool nights extended the growing season well into October, further concentrating flavor.
The Diamond Mountain Reserve exhibits a deep brick red color. The nose has earth tones of mushroom, cassis and black cherry. The flavors are a fruit forward plum with hints of mushroom and earth. On the finish, there are firm tannins with flavors of jammy plum and cedar. The wine leaves the palate with soft oak tannins rounding out the flavors. This explosive wine can be enjoyed now but will certainly improve in the cellar for ten years or more.

The mid-1970s saw a boom of determined winemaking families staking new ground in the Napa Valley and making wines of great distinction. From that era, Stonegate became synonymous with universally heralded Napa Valley Cabernet and Chardonnay.
A partnership of wine pros with a rich history of viticulture, a deep knowledge of microclimates, optimal winemaking, and an effective sales team strengthen the Stonegate legacy as a brand indistinguishable from the fine reputation of Napa Valley wines.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

Summary: Stephanotis, long time favorite, fragrant, bridal flower, has grown in popularity as a spring-time patio plant grown on a trellis and hanging basket, but little care information has been available – read more.
The Stephanotis has grown in popularity over the past few years along with some of the other spring flowering vines like Mandevillea.
We've received many requests for care information on the Stephanotis vine, but sadly, have not found much cultural information available.
Stephanotis – The Description
Stephanotis floribunda, the Madagascar jasmine, is better known as the "bride's flower," or "Bridal Veil vine." A wiry twiner with opposite, oblong, thick, glossy deep green leathery leaves.
The clusters of tubular flowers, most abundant in June, are waxy white and deliciously fragrant, and commonly used in bridal bouquets, hence the name "Bridal Veil Vine".
Bridal Veil Quick Culture Tips
Light, sunny to semi-sunny. Temperature, average house. Humidtiy, 30% or more. Soil, equal parts loam, sand, peat moss, and leaf mold; keep evenly moist at all times.
Feed biweekly using a soluble food like miracle gro plant food in spring, summer, and fall; withhold food, reduce amount of watering slightly, and lower temperature in winter. Propagate by cuttings of half-matured stems in spring; keep warm and in high humidity until roots form.
Growing The Trellised Stephanotis
We often find the Stephanotis vine grown as a potted trellised plant, although I have seen the plant grown as a basket. Stephanotis can have a tendency to grow all over the place. To produce a compact plant it is recommended that you prune and train around the supporting trellis or basket.
Stephanotis Loves Light
The Bridal Veil enjoys a lot of light especially in the winter months when light levels are low. In the summer months provide as much light as you can, however, it may be necessary to give some light shade from the direct hot sun.
When the wonderfully deliciously fragrant scented flowers appear do not turn or rotate your plant as the flowers have a tendency to drop off.
Well Drained Soil Required
As with many tropicals use a well-drained soil. If you are going to repot, remember these plants can be very sensitive to over watering.
When the plants are in full growth (summer time) water moderately and sparingly during the winter. You are more likely to harm your plant from over-watering it than under-watering.
The real beauty of this plant is the scented white flowers against the deep green leaves. Stephanotis is very responsive to warm temperatures, good, fertile, well-drained soil, and requires a minimum of 55 degrees.
Fertilizing Stephanotis
My thoughts have been expressed on fertilizing plants indoors; outdoors it is altogether different. Flowering forces the plant to use up a lot of food, so a good well balanced fertilizer will help in keeping the plant(s) healthy and flowering longer.
The Stephanotis has not been in the marketplace very long, and one question we get as winter approaches has to do with winterizing the Stephanotis. We would like to hear from anyone who has successfully over wintered his or her Stephanotis.
This isn't just staying alive but bringing it back into flower the next year. I suspect that the Stephanotis vine will over-winter better than a mandevilla.
Propagating The Bridal Veil Vine
Stephanotis is produced from cuttings and seed. The seedpod reaches the size of a medium to large pear and remains on the vine for over 6 months before the seeds are ready for harvest. You will not see an abundance of seedpods on a vine. In fact, in over 30 years I have only seen 5 pods produced on a rather large vine. This page has some good photos on the seed pod.
Seeds germinate readily in warmth and humidity. I have rooted cuttings a few times, but here is the advice of experts. Cut stem tips with three or four joints, from half-ripe wood, in spring. Root in peat and coarse sand, with humidity and warmth (70 degrees).
Popular Greenhouse Addition
This twining tropical vine and thick, glossy, waxy oval leaves and of course summer clusters of small waxy fragrant flowers makes for a perfect greenhouse subject in the North, and in the south when grown over a trellis and other supports.
The vine needs warmth (65 degrees minimum) and moisture during the bud-setting season. Provide full sun except in midsummer heat. And keep it slightly cooler and drier during the winter rest period. Soil should be extra rich in humus. Prune after flowering, in early fall.
Family: Asclepiadaceae
Common Name: Madagascar Jasmine
