For More Than a Ringlet
Most of us mastered using a curling iron around the same time we learned how to drive, but the latest batch of irons isn't as straightforward. They come with double, or even triple, wands, strange ridges, and bent middles. But what do they actually do? We asked Sebastian Professional's lead hairstylist Thomas Dunkin to share a few tips and tricks. As with all hot tools, start with dry hair and never hold the iron on your strands for more than a few seconds until you are familiar with the heat levels.
The most popular shape above isn't new, but it is having a renaissance. Dunkin attributes it to the embrace of texture. "Hair is being worn with a soft wave rather than a curl," he says. Try Revlon's Perfect Heat 3-Barrel Deep Waver Styling Iron ($20) for beachy or retro waves. For a '40s feel, clamp the iron close to your roots and hold, moving down the length of your hair without leaving any space between the waves. Set with a heavy dose of hairspray (don't brush!). For a soft, beachy look clamp the iron an inch or two off your roots, quickly release the iron, and rake your hands through the waves once they cool. Finish with a spritz of beach spray, like Oribe's Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray ($37) or Not Your Mothers' Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray ($6) for texture. You can leave your new waves down and loose, or twist into a bun like Willa Holland.
CHI's Digital Ceramic Deep Waver ($130) offers an even deeper wave. It may look like a huge crimping iron, but the results are anything but '80s. Try using on just the roots for volume. To start, apply Sebastian's Form Volupt Spray Gel ($15) on the roots of wet hair before blow-drying. Section off the hair on your crown before breaking out the iron—you don't want the top layers to be touched. "Only clamp the iron on the first couple of inches nearest to the scalp, but not along your part," he says. "Then as the rest of the hair is styled you don't see the wave at the roots, but you get a great amount of volume in your hair."
Classic barrel curls aren't going anywhere, but don't you want to try something new? Try TIGI's Bed Head Hourglass Iron with Glove ($25) to create natural-looking tight curls that are smaller in the center and looser at the roots and ends. To start, hold the iron parallel to the length of your hair, wrapping 1-inch sections around the barrel while holding the ends an inch away from the base of the tool. Set the curls with hairspray to channel Jessica Stam's Met Gala 'do or brush through and backcomb the curls with a boar bristle brush for a full look a la Marc Jacobs' F/W 13 runway.
Sultra's The Bombshell Oval Rod Curling Iron ($130) is kind of challenging, but it creates a cool zig-zag kink in the hair. "Make sure you take very specific sections around the head to achieve a symmetrical effect," says Dunkin. Working with 2-inch sections, use the iron like you would the Bed Head rod above. The trick is to be very careful of placement—you want to mirror the two sides of your head. Wrapping the hair in the same direction on each side will also help to keep the look uniform. Or go the opposite direction and use the iron to create messy kinks in the vein of Erin Wasson's enviable bedhead. Wrap the barrel around random sections only once for perfect texture. Practice makes perfect, and in this case, a perfectly new style.

Dinner In a Flash
Pasta is one of my family's favorites. This flavorful sauce is ready in a flash. Perfect for a quick dinner, it also makes a great addition to a pasta-themed gift.
Easy Vodka Sauce
1 quart homemade or good-quality store-bought marinara sauce
1 cup vodka
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Simmer the tomato sauce and vodka in a heavy large skillet over low heat until the mixture reduces by 1/4, stirring often, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the cream into the tomato and vodka sauce. Simmer over low heat until the sauce is heated through. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well blended.
Serve over fresh pasta. Add sautéd shrimp or chicken, if desired.
Did You Know: Vodka is the most popular spirit of Eastern Europe. It is produced by the distillation of fermented substances such as grain, potatoes, molasses, beets, and a variety of other plants. Most of the best Russian Vodkas are made from wheat. In Poland they are mostly made from a rye mash. Swedish and Baltic distillers are partial to wheat mashes. End Result? …a broad range of flavor and character.

Mexican Restaurant Causes Commotion over "Racist T-shirt"
If you haven't been to West Columbia, South Carolina odds are you may not have heard of the Mexican restaurant Taco Cid.
On its website the restaurant states, "We're not national, we're not fancy."
But after Corey Hutchins, a reporter for the Columbia Free Times posted a picture of an employee wearing a controversial shirt; the restaurant has joined the national discussion regarding immigration, undocumented workers and good taste.
The controversial shirt, which employees apparently must wear, states "How to catch an illegal immigrant," and under those words a cartoon trap is depicted that consists of a box, a string, and tacos.
On Taco Cid's website they address the shirt controversy as "a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group."
But immigrant advocacy groups are not laughing about the shirt.
"There's nothing funny about a child crying as its mother is being taken away by police," said B. Loewe a spokesman for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "There's nothing to joke about when it comes to our immigration policies. This t-shirt is not funny."
"Of course it's offensive, it's meant to be. This is simply a failing business trolling for attention," said Lisa Navarrete, Advisor to the President, NCLR (National Coucil of La Raza). "We would recommend people not patronize this place. Sure, because of this insult but really due to the fact that a restaurant this clueless about the Latino community can't possibly make a decent taco."
Some on the other side of the immigration debate think others are missing the point.
"Everybody in the country knows the government has left our border open," said Ron Bass of the United Patriots of America in Elizabeth, N.J. "The people that are saying this is racist are a little bit uptight."
The restaurant elaborates on their website that they are not racist but are taking a stand on "illegal immigration."
"We do believe ILLEGAL immigrants are taxing the system we support and live under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay more taxes in support of their illegal activities which our government has simply chosen to look the other way."
According to the Palmetto Public Record, Taco Cid originally had 4 locations but has shuttered all but their West Columbia location.

For years, the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District Board of Education set aside money in its annual budget to maintain its facilities. Residents then had to authorize the spending in the budget vote in May.
That is, the board took a pay-as-you-go approach to repairing its schools and administrative offices. The last time the district bonded to pay for a project was the mid-1960s, when it built Kennedy High School. That bond was paid off in 1993.
This fiscally responsible approach has been good for local taxpayers, who have not had to incur the interest charges associated with a capital bond. The trouble is, the district has been slow to make needed repairs, and a number of facilities have suffered from years, decades even, of benign neglect.
Bellmore-Merrick schools are clean and safe, but they are old and aging fast. The Central District Board of Education and the new superintendent, John DeTommaso, have proposed a $49.89 million bond to cover the cost of all of the desperately needed repairs to restore the Central District's facilities to their former glory and bring them into the 21st century. We support the proposal, on which residents will vote on Dec. 2.
DeTommaso recently offered the Herald Life a tour of the district's five schools –– Calhoun, Kennedy and Mepham high schools and Grand Avenue and Merrick Avenue middle schools –– and we were shocked at the condition of some of the facilities, namely Mepham's basement art room and football locker room, as well as science laboratories and bathrooms throughout the district. (See "Bellmore-Merrick Central District superintendent offers facilities tour," at liherald.com/Bellmore or Merrick.)
The sink in the Mepham locker room is covered in plywood, and the urinals are cemented over because they are broken beyond repair.
Lab sinks at all five schools are coated by chemical stains. At Calhoun, gas lines in some labs have been disconnected because their release valves have long been inoperable.
Ceilings in schools across the district are stained brown because of roof and pipe leaks. The portico at Grand Avenue is in a perpetual state of decay, with paint and plaster continually peeling off because the roof above it leaks.

Manchester United remain the highest earning Premier League club, but their revenues continue to lag behind Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, as revealed by Deloitte's 2013 Football Money League.
According to Deloitte's report, published today, seven of the world's 12 richest clubs by revenue are based in England as champions Manchester City enter the top 10 for the first time.
United are third on the list despite their revenues declining three per cent to £320.3m in 2011-12 from £331.4m the previous year, largely down to their early exit in the Champions League and failure to win the Premier League title.
However, English clubs are still some way behind Spain's big two in the Money League, the top six of which remained unchanged for the fifth successive year.
Real Madrid top the money list for the eighth consecutive year with a record turnover of £414.7m while Barcelona complete a La Liga one-two after the Catalan club reported revenues of £390.8m.
The Premier League has consolidated its position as the dominant financial force in world football in the Money League, with seven teams in the top 20 and a further four English clubs were just outside the top 20 for revenues in the 2010-11 season (Everton, Aston Villa, Fulham and Sunderland).
Arsenal (sixth) keep their place in the Money League, while Liverpool's commercial power keeps them in the top 10 in ninth place, even though the Anfield club has not participated in the Champions League since the 2009-10 season.
|1. Real Madrid
|2. Barcelona
|3. Manchester United
|4. Bayern Munich
|5. Chelsea
"Manchester City's rise up the table comes down to a combination of their on pitch success and improved commercial deals," said Mark Roberts, senior consultant within the sports business group at Deloitte.
"Arsenal are well in their sight but the decisive factor next year will be City's commercial deals as they will be hit by not qualifying for the next stage of the Champions League this season.
"I would expect to see City overtake Arsenal in the next couple of years providing they continue with their success on the pitch."
In 2012, the Premier League announced new domestic live broadcast rights deals worth just over £3 billion for the three year period from 2013-14, a 70 per cent increase on the previous value with top clubs set to make £20-30m more per year.
Next year, England will expect to break its record representation of eight clubs in the Money League and could even make up half of the top 20.
|Who are the movers and shakers among the world's richest football clubs? We show you!
All revenue figures in the Money League report are based on the 2011-12 season or the most recent available calendar year. It focuses on the revenue generated by each club, not expenditure such as wages and debt management.
The 'big five' European leagues are all represented in the Money League, with Italian giants Juventus climbing to 10th after winning Serie A last term. German side Borussia Dortmund are the joint-highest climbers after rising five places to 11th.
Commenting on the impact of UEFA's financial fair play break-event requirement, Paul Rawnsley, a Director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte said: "Whilst the Money League covers clubs' revenue performance, there is an increasing focus within European football on clubs achieving more sustainable levels of expenditure relative to revenues, particularly given UEFA's financial fair play break-even requirement.
"Disciplined and responsible governance structures and financial management within European football, whilst providing the platform for investment in facilities and youth development, should only be encouraged."

South Dakota's Joe Glenn on Northern Iowa Win, Illinois State Game
The last three weeks have been historic ones for the University of South Dakota football team.
First it was Missouri Valley Conference win number one, when the Coyotes beat Missouri State, October 5th.
October 12th it was the first ever back-to-back Missouri Valley wins, with a victory over Indiana State.
This past weekend, it was USD's biggest win since joining the Missouri Valley, a 38-31 double overtime triumph at Northern Iowa. Not only a third straight win, but a win against a Top 25 FCS team, and the Coyotes first road victory of any kind, since the program's marquee win at Minnesota in 2010.
Head coach Joe Glenn told me this win ranked right up there with the Gopher game in its significance for USD football:
All three Coyote wins during this streak have been in come-from-behind fashion. None bigger than the game at the UNI Dome Saturday, where USD trailed 28-7 with under six minutes to play in the third quarter. Coach Glenn used the word 'courage' after the game Saturday to describe his team:
An old problem continued to plague the Coyotes in Cedar Falls, bad snaps on special teams. A pair of errant snaps in punt formation on consecutive possessions in the third quarter led to a pair of UNI touchdowns, and forced the USD coaching staff to abandon the playbook the next time the Coyotes were forced to punt, opting instead to snap the ball to running back Trevor Bouma, who proceeded to launch a 67-yard kick with no return. The play was the brainchild of special teams coach Tim Triplett:
The kicking woes weren't just limited to the put team. Field goal kicker Miles Bergner missed two kicks from inside 32 yards during regulation, leaving his coach with more than a little trepidation when he called on Bergner to try to tie the game in the first overtime with a 23 yarder:
The USD defense did their best to keep their team in it until the offense could get things going. The 31 points allowed was a bit misleading, considering the short fields the Panthers had following the turnovers on the kicking game. Still, there were plenty of performances on the defense to make Coach Glenn proud:
Last week, Coach Glenn told me quarterback Kevin Earl 'could be better'. Saturday the sophomore was as good as he's ever been; passing for a career-high 370 yards and accounted for five touchdowns (3 pass, 2 rush), while picking up Missouri Valley Conference offensive player of the week honors. Early on though, Coach Glenn says it didn't seem like it was going to be Earl's day:
Also honored for his play this week was freshman wide receiver Riley Donovan, who is the conference newcomer of the week after catching 9 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns.
Also solid on offense Saturday was Trevor Bouma, who ran the ball for 149 yards with a a little extra motivation in his home state:
Next up, a trip to Illinois State Saturday. The Redbirds are 3-4 overall, 2-2 in conference play. All three of their wins have come at home, where they are outscoring opponents on average, 40-17:
Defensively, the Redbirds are especially tough against the pass, 4th best in the conference, allowing 173 yards through the air. Last week against Indiana State, they notched 7 quarterback sacks:
Heading into another tough Missouri Valley Conference road test Saturday, the two biggest things South Dakota has going for it right now can't be found on a stat sheet: confidence and momentum:
Kickoff is 1:00pm Saturday afternoon in Normal.
