With Monday night's bracket unveiling, the women's NCAA tournament is finally upon us, and plenty of questions abound.
The million-dollar question, of course, is whether anyone can derail UConn's quest for an unprecedented fifth straight national title. The Huskies' win streak is up to 107. Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has them as a heavy favorite at -450, with the field at +375.
Will anyone beat UConn? Notre Dame, Baylor and South Carolina join UConn on the 1-seed line, while Duke is a No. 2 seed. The Blue Devils have lost to UConn by an average of 28.6 points in their last eight meetings. Keep an eye on third-seeded Maryland, one of just three teams to lose by only single digits to the Huskies this season, back in December.
Meanwhile, the nation's all-time leading female scorer, Kelsey Plum, will be shouldering a heavy workload for Washington as the third-seeded Huskies look to crash the Final Four party in Dallas.
Could a few upsets be in the works? A number of intriguing first-round matchups are on the plate, including Gonzaga-Oklahoma, Drake-Kansas State and Tennessee-Dayton.
How will the biggest storylines of the tournament play out? Vote now:
The tournament kicks off with first-round matchups Friday and Saturday, concluding with the national title game April 2 at Dallas' American Airlines Center.

Home is where the hearth is. Downtown Nevada City, California.
The boyfriend and I have recently returned from frolicsome fun in my hometown of Nevada City, California. This year my most shiny of celebrations was neither Christmas nor New Years, but my sister Jacquie's 50th birthday (for which I provided the cake, subsequently learning that Christmas day is a lousy time to buy baked goods).
Some highlights of the trip were…
Teaching my mother how to prepare absinthe. Who doesn't love this quintessential Christmas pastime*? Equipped with a curvaceous reservoir glass and ornate, slotted spoon I enthusiastically gave a demonstration on how to prepare absinthe in both the traditional French method and the more dramatic (and efficient) Bohemian method. Both methods were merely informative, not practical, as my Mammy and me prefer our green fairy sans sucre.
My Mom, enjoying her beverage
(artist's depiction)
Armed with our booze and one clove cigarette each, we sat in her English garden and contentedly sinned with some of Satan's most pleasingly perfumed indulgences. Once we felt sweetly weak-in-the-knees it was time to make some pie. (Drinking and driving is a bad idea, but drinking and pie making is a sign of advanced evolution in a species. Word.)
Mom has a recipe for Oregon Chess Pie – an heirloom handed down for generations which I'd never had the pleasure to consume. With the help of one of my best friends, Carrie, and her toddler daughter, Major, we set about to baking six slices of history. Here's the recipe:

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I hope all you ladies out there received a dozen roses, and some chocolates, and I hope all you men got a nice lovable card that expresses how much you are loved and enjoyed. I will start the day by submitting a tutorial on "how to draw Choji, step by step". This plump character from Naruto is one of the main supporting members of the series. He made his first debut in chapter 34 for the manga, and in episode "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki" for the anime. You might be thinking that Choji looks a bit different from his original appearance, and you are right. I wanted to draw an updated revision of him so, the lesson you will be learning from is Choji in his Shippuden form. The reason why I like this character is because he was picked on and ridiculed for being a bit on the chubby side. The inscription on the front of his shirt stands for "Eat", and he doesn't hide the fact that he loves food. Although he feels this way, it does get him annoyed when someone calls him "fat". Instead he would rather be called big boned, plump, or chubby. The good thing is, Choji is not the only one that is round, other members of his clan also have that husky appearance. Like most overweight people, Choji sort of wears his heart on his sleeve being a very kind and caring person. This is considered to be a big part of who he is. As far as abilities, they're pretty cool. He has an incredible amount of physical strength as you can image with his size. Sometimes ones abilities are overseen because of appearance. It may not look it but, Choji is excellent when it comes to hand to hand combat. Some of his awesome abilities are called "multi size technique". This is when his body parts grow to be several times bigger then normal. Another cool technique he does is "Human bullet tank". He turns himself into a giant ball and goes after his opponents by rolling over them like a boulder. When he is in this mode he can add spikes to his form to increase the attack damage. Anyways, I like the way he came out and he is one character from Naruto that almost looks a bit Asian. When you learn "how to draw Choji", keep in mind you are drawing a lovable ninja. That does it for this lesson. I shall return with something sweet in a while. This is going to be a fun day because it is Valentines Day! Peace out people, and happy drawing!

I was trying to burn an audio cd in Brasero in Ubuntu 11.10 64bit first and all it would do is let me burn an image file to the hard drive.
So after I had no luck with it I decided to try K3B. I installed it and ended up with the same result to only burn an image.
I have a new blank cdr in the drive but Ubuntu itself, K3B, and Brasero do not see the blank cdr in the drive. Which I assume is why I can't burn to it.This is a cd/dvd burner and I have had no problems with it seeing and burning dvds.
Is there any way I can figure out what the problem is? I tried the net for an answer and had no luck.
Thanks for any help on this issue.

Southern California Beach Trail
Here is one of my favorite skate trails. This is Manhattan Beach, California in southwest Los Angeles County. The city has 2.1 miles of coastline that has both a bike trail and a pedestrian trail. The trails run parallel to each other at the back of the beach for the full length of the city's coastline. The pedestrian trail, which is slightly elevated above the bike trail, is called The Strand. It is 12' to 14' wide. There is much to like about The Strand, including ocean views, a sea breeze, morning shade, no bike or vehicle traffic, and almost no trash to snag your wheels. But the biggest reason to like it is the ultra smooth concrete surface. So smooth your wheels hardly make a sound. Praise and honor are due to the engineers and finishers who put this in. They created a marvelous skating surface. Did I mention that its smooth? There are only a few places maybe four along the 2.1 miles of Strand where it is crossed by a not-as-smooth driveway. In most cases you can skate right across them.

Great video. You guys skated every trail in So Cal, maybe a total of 50 miles or more? Fantastic. Saw a few places I have not skated, like Ojai and Santa Ana River Trail. They are going on my "To Do" list.
Since your video, the Venice Beach bike trail and skate plaza has been re-done and a skateboard park added. Unfortunately, some of those updates are not aging well. In many places the concrete has raised expansion joints, cracks and pitted surfaces. A Venice skate group started a petition asking Los Angeles to re-surface some of the skate plaza, but it didn't get much support. So for now you just have to jump/avoid the bad parts. Still, Venice Beach remains my favorite skate. So much skating history there, you can feel it in the atmosphere. Might be the spirits of skaters past, I donno. I have some recent pictures of Venice in the Album portion of my profile page. Most of them were taken last year.

Hitting The Books

They say no one gets rich working for someone else. Now that the"someone else" is you, will the same theory hold true? While corporate employees have benefit packages designed by their companies, you have the responsibility of crafting your own. Happily, you can tailor it to your needs and make the most of your money. Here are some tips on how to get paid and get organized; budget and save; set up a retirement plan and pay taxes.
Lorayne Fiorillo is a financial advisor at Prudential Securities.
Get Paid Now
Unlike cubicle-bound employees, those of us who work on our own don't have to worry about punching a clock to earn a paycheck. But what about getting that paycheck? Just because you've completed a job doesn't mean you'll be paid right away. If you're waiting for that check so you can pay your mortgage, the bank may not be as understanding with you as you are with your clients. To make sure you get paid on time, follow these tips:
1. When you accept a job, confirm payment terms in writing.
2. Bill every two weeks instead of every 30 days. This may expedite payments.
3. Accounts payable departments often need a vendor number before invoices can be paid, so provide them with one when you're hired. It takes time to get into the system, so get in early.
4. State on your invoice that payment is expected when invoiced and that a late fee is calculated on accounts in arrears over 30 days.
5. If a client is consistently delinquent, you may have to take stronger measures, including not accepting further assignments.
Getting Organized
Kim Cook, president of 2K Productions, doesn't have any trouble getting paid--his big challenge is finding time to invoice clients. "It's not that people don't want to pay you, it's just that they have their own ways of doing it," says Cook, whose Charlotte, North Carolina, company shoots TV commercials, documentaries, videos and TV spots. "Trying to keep up with invoicing is my most difficult [task]. I let things pile up, and when I set aside time to get caught up, I get a call [for work] and that day is shot for billing." What's a homebased businessperson to do?
You could hire a service to do your billing and follow-up, but then you'd have to pay that service. We asked Michael Magdalani, president and CEO of Compustart, a New York City company that provides computer-based solutions, what to do. Magdalani recommends software from Intuit: QuickBooks or QuickBooks Pro. These programs are business-oriented, user-friendly and inexpensive. With them, entrepreneurs can track time for fee-based consulting jobs, do project-costing, monitor accounts payable and receivable, track invoices, calculate overdue fees, do online banking, and make payments and deposits. And that's just for starters.
Paying The Piper
So you're set on building your business . . . so set, you plan to live off your savings for a while and put everything back into your company. That's fine for those with a big nest egg, but most advisors suggest you pay yourself just as you would any creditor.
How much should you pay yourself? Consider taking a minimum of 10 percent of your receivables as salary. If you don't need it to live on, stash it in an interest-bearing account until you need it. Use it to build your business, hire help, go on a well-deserved vacation or add to your retirement fund.
Studies show that homebased business owners cite retirement as a top financial goal, yet few actively save for it. Instead, many entrepreneurs are counting on proceeds from the sale of their business to fund their retirement. Most business owners are familiar with the traditional IRA (with its $2,000 maximum annual contribution, tax-deductible if adjusted gross income thresholds aren't exceeded) and the new Roth IRA (its $2,000 maximum annual contribution is not tax-deductible, but it grows tax-deferred and is withdrawn tax-free at retirement if certain conditions are met). Many, however, have never heard of another type of IRA that allows many small-business owners to save much more for retirement: the Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA.
Unlike traditional IRAs, SEP plans are easy to establish and maintain. SEPs allow business owners to deduct up to 15 percent of their annual compensation up to $24,000, indexed for inflation. Plan contributions are flexible, so if cash flow is a problem, you aren't required to make one. Best of all, if you're a bit late with your taxes, SEPs can be opened and contributions made until your taxes are filed.
What's the minimum you should contribute to a retirement plan? That depends on your age, earnings and financial goals, so get additional information from your tax and financial advisors before taking action.
Taxing Times
Mac Willet, a CPA in Charlotte, North Carolina, says, "If you're a self-employed unincorporated business, you'll probably be required to make quarterly estimated payments, because, unlike the paychecks from your employer, taxes won't be withheld on what you've earned." You can estimate the amount by using what you made in the first quarter of the year as a baseline. Another method is to pay 100 percent of the tax shown on the prior year's return. No one wants to overpay, but underpayment can be costly. According to Willet, the penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes is based on the short-term applicable federal rate plus 3 percent, adjusted quarterly. Between 1995 and 1997, the rate fluctuated between 8 percent and 10 percent.
Self-employment taxes are paid at a rate of 15.3 percent of net earnings from self employment (what you make after specified expenses) up to $68,400 for 1998, and at a rate of 2.9 percent on any amount over that. Fortunately, half your self-employment taxes are deductible against gross income as a business expense.
Keep accurate records of all your expenses. Without written records, you may not be able to take advantage of all possible deductions. For certain expenses, such as automobile, travel, entertainment, meal and home office, special recordkeeping requirements and limitations exist. Talk to your tax advisor for specific information.
One key to success in your homebased business may be the "time vs. money factor." At first glance, paying an accountant to figure your estimated taxes may seem like a waste of money. But if it takes them an hour and it takes you a day, couldn't you have made more money talking with existing or potential clients? The key to financial success in your homebased business is thinking like a big business: Do what you do best, and get others to do the rest.
Pay Day?
By Cynthia E. Griffin
When it comes to money matters, homebased entrepreneurs constantly face tough decisions. Brad Snyder (right), founder of Strategic Advantage Inc., is a prime example. After much thought, he elected not to pay himself a salary. "[The money is] reinvested into the business, and on occasion, I still infuse some of my own money into it," says Snyder, who expects his management and technology consulting firm to break even this year.
While he decided not to take a salary, the 41-year-old did establish a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) retirement mutual fund. This way, the Lee's Summit, Missouri, entrepreneur can withdraw payments from the business account--since Snyder's company is a subchapter S corporation, income is usually taxed at an individual rate. And while he anticipates profitability soon, maintaining that profitability may require further delaying his salary and outsourcing more. If so, it's a sacrifice Snyder is willing to make.
Game Plan
By Cynthia E. Griffin
Rusty Jackson Productions (RJP), with four employees and $300,000 in annual sales, could not be described as a big business. But Rusty Jackson (pictured at right) is determined to create a company that takes care of her employees the way a major corporation would.
The primary method she's using? "I started my 401(k) at the beginning of 1997, because as I get older, retirement is a concern for me. It's important to offer that benefit to those who work for RJP for the same reasons," says Jackson, who started her event management firm in 1996 with money from savings.
Although the cost to start a 401(k) plan initially gave Jackson pause, she was able to find a plan with a mere $300 annual fee. The result, says the Mitchellville, Maryland, entrepreneur, is happy, satisfied employees, which translates to a healthy and growing company.

Officials with the N.C. Department of Transportation and City of Lexington say roads are improving in the county as temperatures hovered around 32 degrees Saturday.
Officials with the N.C. Department of Transportation and City of Lexington say roads are improving in the county as temperatures hovered around 32 degrees Saturday afternoon.
But those officials remained concerned about the threat of refreezing Saturday night into Sunday morning on some roads.
Scott Sharp, a meteorologist with the National Weather Services, reports areas across the Piedmont received about one-tenth of an inch of ice from Friday's wintry event that caused dozens of accidents in Davidson County. The wintry precipitation, which began around 9 a.m. in Lexington, ended Friday evening, leaving treacherous roads.
A spokesman with the Davidson County 911 Center said about 12:30 p.m. that there had been a report of five minor accidents since 1 a.m. He said he wasn't sure if they were weather-related.
Bobby Leonard, a maintenance supervisor with the N.C. Department of Transportation, said about noon Saturday that the N.C. and U.S. highways and interstates in Davidson County were in good condition. Secondary roads, however, remained icy, and crews with the DOT were out treating them Saturday afternoon
Leonard said he wasn't aware of any major accidents Saturday morning. He explained he was relying on temperatures to get above freezing.
"As the day goes by, it'll get better," Leonard said. "That will be our biggest help to get some sun out."
Leonard said he had a crew coming on at 6 p.m. to work any roads that need attention, and he also has a crew on standby for Sunday morning if they are needed. He said he was concerned about secondary roads for Saturday night into Sunday morning.
"Keep your speeds down, and if you don't need to go somewhere, stay home," he said.
Phil Surratt, streets superintendent for the City of Lexington, said Saturday afternoon that the main thoroughfares in Lexington look good, but neighborhood roads were slushed up.
"We do have crews working," Surratt said Saturday afternoon. "We have six guys plowing some of the roads while the temperatures are cooperating."
Surratt said he is concerned about black ice Saturday night.
"Motorists definitely need to be careful of that," he said.
Sharp said temperatures should be in the mid-to-low 20s Saturday night into Sunday morning.
"Folks who are out this afternoon should be very cautious tonight," he said, adding that temperatures should not get above freezing on Sunday until about 10 a.m.
Sharp said there is a 33 percent chance of light rain or freezing rain early Monday morning. The meteorologist does not expect any significant accumulations from what he called a weak system.
The cold weather won't stick around for long. Sharp said high temperatures may get up to 70 degrees by Wednesday.

Heart disease is the number one killer
of both men and women in the United States. If you are worried about heart
disease, one of the most important things you can do is to start eating a
heart-healthy diet. Changing your diet can help stop or even reverse heart
At first, it may seem like there is a lot to learn. But
you don't have to make these changes all at once. Start with small steps. Over
time, making a number of small changes can add up to a big difference in your
heart health.
To have a heart-healthy diet:
heart-healthy diet focuses on adding more healthy foods to your diet and
cutting back on foods that are not so good for you.
This advice matches the heart-healthy diet recommended by the American Heart Association.
Eat foods that are high in vitamins, minerals,
fiber, and other nutrients, such as:
Limit foods that are
high in:
Eating foods that contain unhealthy fats can raise the LDL
("bad") cholesterol in your blood. Having a high level of LDL cholesterol
increases your chance of having clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to
coronary artery disease and
heart attack.
Trans fat is especially
unhealthy. It both raises the level of "bad" cholesterol and lowers the "good"
cholesterol in the blood. Try to avoid trans fat as much as possible.
If I see "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" on a
food label, I should avoid that food because it contains trans fat.
Shortening, partially hydrogenated vegetable
oils, hydrogenated vegetable oils, and some margarines contain unhealthy trans
fats. Read food labels and try to avoid foods with trans fats and shortening,
partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, or hydrogenated vegetable oils in the
ingredient list. It's a good idea to choose only foods that have 0 grams of
trans fat.
Continue to Why?
Making good food choices can have a big impact on your health. Eating a
heart-healthy diet can help you to:
A heart-healthy diet is not just for people with existing
health problems. It is good for all healthy adults and children older than age 2. Learning heart-healthy eating habits now can
help prevent heart disease in years to come.
I need to follow a heart-healthy diet, but my spouse
and kids don't.
A heart-healthy diet is good for anyone. If
your spouse and children don't have heart disease, learning heart-healthy
eating habits now can help prevent heart disease in years to come. Changing the
way your family eats could be one of the best things you ever do for
Continue to How?
To have a
heart-healthy diet:
You can get even more benefit from making diet changes if
you also get plenty of exercise and don't smoke.
But you don't
have to be perfect, and you don't have to do it all at once. Make one or two
changes at a time. As soon as you are used to those, make another one or two
changes. Over time, making a number of small changes can add up and make a big
difference in your health.
Here are some ideas about how to get
It may take some time to get used to new tastes and habits,
but don't give up. Keep in mind the good things you are doing for your heart
and your overall health.
All fats are bad for me.
Not all fats are bad for you. Fat is an
important source of energy for the body. The problem comes when you eat too much fat or the wrong
kind of fats. Saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol are unhealthy types
of fat. Unsaturated fats like canola and olive oils are good for you if you use
them in moderation.

(Sep. 18, 2011) The crystal structure of the dynamin protein -- one of the molecular machines that makes cells work -- has been revealed, bringing insights into a class of molecules with a wide influence on health and disease.
"It's a really cool structure," said Jodi Nunnari, professor and chair of molecular and cellular biology at UC Davis and senior author of the paper, is published Sept. 18 in the journal Nature. "This is a really important class of molecules for regulating membrane dynamics."
The detailed structure reveals exactly how the dynamin protein can form large assemblies that pinch off bubbles, or vesicles, from cell membranes. These vesicles allow a cell to "eat" proteins, liquids or other items from the outside, compartmentalize them and move them around within itself.
Marijn Ford, a postdoctoral scholar in Nunnari's laboratory, mapped the crystal structure of dynamin-1 in collaboration with Simon Jenni, a research fellow at Harvard University.
Dynamin belongs to a large family of proteins that, in the right conditions, can self-assemble into larger structures and generate force. Those properties of self-assembly and movement can be harnessed in the cell for different functions.
Dynamin-1 itself is involved in making vesicles in nerve cells at the points where nerves form connections, or synapses, with each other. Nerve cells communicate through chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that are released from and taken up by vesicles. Altering the balance of these messengers can affect mental function. For example, an important class of antidepressant drugs works by affecting the uptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
The new crystal structure shows exactly how the individual dynamin proteins can line up to form a helix, and then move by ratcheting alongside each other.
It also shows that part of the protein can interact with lipids in cell membranes. That could allow different types of dynamin protein to interact with subtly different types of membrane, specializing their function.
Understanding these miniature motors also might make it possible one day to engineer cells that can do new and different tasks, Nunnari said.
The work was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Peruvian Environment Ministry Official Resigns, Protests Continue
November 29, 2011
Salomón Lerner, President of the Council of Ministers, announced today that the government had accepted the resignation of Viceminister of Environment José de Echave, who left his position over differences on the handling of protests around the Conga mine project. Echave—an expert in environmental conflict management and the leader of environmental group CooperAccion—offered his resignation yesterday in noting that President Humala's government "lacks an adequate strategy for dealing with social conflict."
The viceminister leaves his post on the sixth day of strikes in the city of Cajamarca, which has seen blocked roads, food shortages, and cancelled flights.
Echave's decision—which follows the removal of special presidential advisor Carlos Tapia, a left-wing activist who supported the protests against the mining project—comes in response to the government's strategy toward the protests. The viceminister said publicly he disagrees with President Humala's plans to create a special authority within the Council of Ministers in charge of studies on environmental impact and environmental audits. "I believe that won't help build a strong environmental authority, even more in a country where environmental concerns are the main source of social conflict," Echave added.
Local communities in Cajamarca raised attention to the environmental impacts of the Conga mine project a month ago. The Conga project—a $4.8 billion gold and copper mine in northern Peru that is part of the larger Yanacocha mine—is largely controlled by U.S.-based Newmont Mininc Corp. The protestors are concerned about plans to dry up four lakes in order to extract the gold under the water in a zone where economy depends on agriculture and livestock.
The project shows the challenges that Humala faces in trying to promote economic growth while maintaining social inclusion, with inclusion being the foundation of his campaign and a key component of his government.

Golden Globes 2010 Articles
Golden Globes 2010 hilights, gossip, photos, and video.
Best Globes Spastic: Brendan Fraser
I was all over it during our live blog on Sunday night and then totally forgot in the rush of getting out the photos yesterday. Then my friend L emailed and it all came back. This moment, like WHO's NATALIE????????????????????, totally made my Globes. It's the small gifts in life. Remember when Brendan Fraser was spastic? No? You missed it? Thanks God Full Story
Worst: Taylor Lautner
This is the last. And it's the worst. The WORST. The shine. The horrifying ass of the shine. What is happening to him? You know, Tom Ford was there last night. He could have helped. This kid needs help. Because here it is: Taylor Lautner is so painfully uncool. He's goodlooking. He's 18. Full Story
Best: Maggie G
Are we fighting? We are fighting, aren't we? Because you hate it. You think it's weird. You don't think it's pretty. Well it's Maggie Gyllenhaal. She doesn't do pretty. But it's architecture. And it's design. And it's imaginative. And there are few women who could have owned this like Maggie owned it. Full Story
Worst Dressed: Sandra Bullock
Again. Read this: I love Sandra Bullock. I watched The Proposal on a plane and enjoyed it for what it was. I was totally on board with The Blind Side. Remember when I said I'm all over football movies? TBS wasn't the greatest. It wasn't anything. Like, no lows, no highs, not much. But that doesn't mean Sandy B wasn't appealing, adorable, endearing, the usual. Full Story
Best Granny bird tits: Kate Hudson
Manslinger wore white last night and came to flirt. She flirted with Billy Bush, she flirted throughout the off camera mingle sessions, she flirted at the Weinstein afterparty. In the end she went home empty legged, but it won't be long. Kate Hudson will hook up soon. In the meantime, this white dress, the material – what remarkable material: it doesn't fold, it doesn't wrinkle, it's like some NASA sh-t cut into a dress. Full Story
Best Dressed: Leonardo DiCaprio
Mostly it's the status. To sit next to Martin Scorsese, the legendary director's current muse, and to stand with Robert DeNiro to present his award, the two flanking a Hollywood visionary as he's honoured by the industry, on a night when the other director who turned him into a household teenybop superstar took home the big prize. Full Story
Best Last Year: Kate Winslet
My love. Our love. Our Kate. Duana noted on our live blog last night: Tomorrow can you write an article about how Kate knows how to dress down when it's not her turn? With pleasure.

Worst Couple: Pity & Spittle
She has spent the last 5 years trying to be known as something other than the TV Girl and the ex Mrs Pitt. Bless Ricky Gervais for introducing her as Rachel from Friends. BLESS HIM SO HARD.

Best Globes Couple: Josh & Diane
Jackson & Kruger. I mean, it's love in the rain. Am bursting from the Cute. SO CUTE. I want a man to hold an umbrella for me like that. Jacek would NEVER be this happy holding an umbrella for me. Jacek would be like – come on, my hair's getting wet. Or come on – the game's starting soon. Full Story
Worst Globe Douche: Bill Paxton?
We discussed this last night during the live blog having watched it back on PVR a few times. Whether or not, after Michael C Hall was announced as Best Actor Drama, Bill Paxton said to his tablemates that: I lost to cancer. Have received many emails about it this morning. Some of you totally see him saying it. Full Story
Best Black: Penelope Cruz
She didn't wear the same dress over and over. No, Lea Michele did that for her. So Pene went with all black, lace and contrasting stipes. It's not for everyone – oh no – but Penelope's is an old school glamour mixed modern. She can where others cannot. And she did last night. Full Story

Amazing Grace/Pachelbel's Canonarr. Jean Anne Shafferman - Jubilate Music Group, LLC
Click to review
Here is a marvelous pairing of Amazing Grace with the beloved baroque classic, Pachelbel's Canon! The baroque canon accompanies as the voices sing Amazing Grace in 4/4. Opening with unison voices, it flows easily to rich part writing, closing in inventive counterpoint with the canon bass line, the Amazing Grace melody, and a soaring soprano descant Alleluia. Inventive and very creative!

The Cult's Top Stories & Interviews of 2010
Come the end of a year (and the start of a new one) it seems almost impossible to avoid 'Top 10' fever. This is a fever that spreads to movie and gossip sites and can include everything from 'The Top 10 Worst Movies of 2010' to 'The Best YouTube Parodies'. Don't lie. We all love these lists. It's why websites keep doing them. And it's why I finally broke down this year and decided it was high time we do one of these for The Cult.
Our list will be a Top 5. And I'm going to break it up into two categories.
The Top 5 Stories of 2010
5. 'Fight Club' Easter Egg In David Fincher's 'The Social Network'
Not a surprise on this one. One of the biggest movies of the year featuring an easter egg from one of Palahniuk's most beloved projects. This story was just a recipe for success.
4. 'Fight Club' / 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' Trailer Spoof: "FERRIS CLUB"
This one's another no-brainer. These mash-ups were huge in 2010. Besides this 'Fight Club' one, we had ones for 'Toy Story', 'The Breakfast Club' and even Jane Austen! But this one was definitely my favorite.
3. The Future Of Writing: An iPad Review
I'm excited to see this one so high up on the list. This article was a first for us. But when Xander Davis first contacted me about doing an in-depth review of what writing was like on the iPad, it just made total sense. Glad to see our fans agreed, as testament to the 16,000+ views this review received.
2. Rest In Peace, J.D. Salinger
The death of J.D. Salinger was a sad day for lovers of literature. One of our staffers (cough, Mirka, cough) even cried when she heard the news. It sort of felt like the end of an era. But it was great to see all the love that fans had for Salinger, expressed in the comments of this news story.
1. The Cult's 'Top 10' Books of 2009
Ironically enough, the top News stories of 2010 was Mirka's 'Top 10 Books' list of 2009. Sort of ironic and meta, don't you think? I told ya people love their lists. This list was unveiled on Valentine's Day 2010, because, after all, it was written as almost a love letter to what Mirka (the most prolific reader I know) thought were the best books of the previous year.
The Top 5 Interviews of 2010
Next, we're going to look at the five interviews that got the most love in 2010. In some cases, it's obvious why so many people wanted to read these pieces. But the year as a whole was made up of a strong collection of some fascinating figures. I'm so proud of our journalist staff on The Cult. Everyone really stepped up their game this year and I'm shocked by some of the people they managed land interviews with. With that, here were the top 5 most popular:
5. Bret Easton Ellis
Not even a year after my own interview with Bret Easton Ellis, Joshua Chaplinsky decided it was high time to sit down with the man again. And I can't argue. Bret had just released his latest novel, Imperial Bedrooms, and Josh had some very pointed questions for him... primarily about the notion that he was thinking about retiring from writing.
4. Anne Rice
We'd been trying to get an interview with Anne Rice for ages on this site. Many years ago, Anne defended herself to haters in the Amazon.com reviews of her controversial novel about the messiah, Christ The Lord. This led to fans on our forums discussing whether or not this was a good move on her part. Then, it gets crazy, because the next thing that happened was, Anne herself posted on our site, defending herself against her attackers. Now, years later with a new memoir out and a new novel to boot, Joshua Chaplinsky sat down with her to get to the bottom of the brouhaha, as well as to discuss her abandoning of the Christian faith (again).
3. Jesse Ventura
The fireball. Mr. Controversy. Jesse Ventura wasn't interviewed by Christopher Stipp for ChuckPalahniuk.net because he was a former wrestling superstar. He wasn't interviewed because he was a former governor of Minnesota. He was interviewed because, without all of those facts, the man is still fascinating. Just look at his new show "Conspiracy Theory" on TruTV, where he attempts to uncover political intrigue, and tell me the man isn't at least tenacious. If you don't read this interview and think Ventura has something interesting to say... then perhaps you're working for the government. ;)
2. Mark Danielewski
Another interview we'd been after for a while. And we have Kasey Carpenter to thank for being the man to finally nail it. Kasey met with Mark at a cafe in Los Angeles and got him to talk about some very personal things. Everything from his relationship to his father to the inception of what became House of Leaves, is discussed. What's more is, you can barely count the amount of interviews Mark has given on two hands. So this one was a major score.
1. Maynard James Keenan
You guys sure like your Tool. Well shit, who doesn't like Tool!? What makes this interviews place as the most popular interview of 2010 so cool though, is that it's not even an interview with Maynard about his music. Rather, it's about a documentary he co-directed on...wine making! But as with all fascinating personalities, it doesn't matter if Maynard is talking about how much he loves the game penuckle, it's going to be interesting read regardless.
Well, that wraps up our best of 2010! Stay tuned for 2011, a year we hope will be even better than 2010. (but after looking at this list, that seems like a tall order)

Christopher E. Goscha, Christian Ostermann. Connecting Histories: Decolonization and the Cold War in Southeast Asia, 1945-1962. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2009. XI, 450 S.
Reviewed by Balazs Szalontai
Published on H-Soz-u-Kult (March, 2011)
C. E. Goscha u.a. (Hrsg.): Connecting Histories
This volume undoubtedly breaks new ground in several respects. First of all, its scope is breathtakingly panoramic. The essays written by the book's fifteen contributors cover not only Vietnam, Indonesia, Burma, Thailand, Malaya, and other Southeast Asian countries but also the policies the U.S., Britain, France, the Netherlands, Australia, the USSR, China and India pursued toward this region.
Secondly, the book is aimed at exploring connections between such fields of historical research which previous authors often studied more or less in isolation from each other. Particular emphasis is being laid on investigating how the outbreak of the Cold War influenced the process of decolonization in Southeast Asia. The history of Vietnam and Indonesia is linked to over half a dozen states; Burma, Thailand and Malaya appear less frequently in the limelight, but still each is covered by at least one essay.
Furthermore, a number of authors investigate how the domestic policies of the various Southeast Asian countries influenced diplomatic decision-making and how international events affected the domestic sphere. This interdisciplinary approach yields various remarkable discoveries. Among others, Daniel Fineman points out that "the most prominent critics of Bao Dai in Thailand were staunch anticommunists." (p. 284). Michael W. Charney and Rémy Madinier describe how Burmese Premier U Nu and the Indonesian Masjumi party explained their opposition to Communism by stressing their commitment to both religious and democratic values, whereas Richard Mason and Christopher E. Goscha highlight that Indonesian parliamentary debates considerably influenced the forms and extent of U.S.-Indonesian cooperation. Goscha, Mark Atwood Lawrence and Martin Thomas demonstrate that while the Communist nature of Ho Chi Minh's government discouraged India and Indonesia from recognizing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV), the unrepresentativeness of the French-controlled Bao Dai regime alienated not only Asian nationalists but initially even American and British diplomats.
It might be beneficial to apply this approach to some additional cases. For instance, Anne L. Foster convincingly explains that post-1945 Dutch intransigence was deeply rooted in the trauma of Nazi and Japanese occupation, but it may be added that even in the interwar era, Dutch colonial officials had been less willing to regard Indonesian nationalists as negotiating partners than their British and U.S. counterparts in India, Burma, and the Philippines, respectively.
Due to its focus on guerrilla warfare, the Domino Theory was also based on the conception of interlocking internal and external factors. Critically re-examining this theory, whose limits he readily admits, Ang Cheng Guan provides a nuanced overview about Communist strategies and tactics in Southeast Asia. Still, his observations on the diplomatic and military developments, from which he draws the conclusion that the Domino Theory was valid for the region after all, could have been combined with a more detailed analysis of the socio-political conditions in the various Southeast Asian countries.
The attitudes the Southeast Asian non-Communist governments adopted toward the Communist powers were shaped by various factors. For instance, threat perceptions could inspire not only hostile reactions but also policies of accommodation. Fineman and Charney describe that while Chinese Communist criticism of Thai Premier Phibun Songkhram induced him to draw even closer to the U.S., U Nu concluded that forging an alliance with Washington against Beijing would increase, rather than reduce, the risk of Chinese aggression. Since the Trade Union Conference of Asian and Australasian Countries, held in Beijing in November 1949, condemned the Thai "military clique" and the "fascist" Burmese government in equally harsh words, the contrast between Phibun's and U Nu's attitude appears quite striking, all the more so because Thailand, unlike Burma, faced no Communist insurgency at that time.
As Goscha and Mason point out, the recent trauma of colonial rule – a problem absent in Thailand – greatly motivated Indonesian and Burmese reluctance to side with the West against the Communist powers. This common element of nationalism may explain why these two countries took a similar stance, since otherwise U Nu's non-alignment was rooted in Burma's geographical proximity to China, whereas the Indonesian leaders felt that their country should stay neutral precisely because it "did not share a common boundary with any of the Cold War belligerents" (p. 40).
In contrast, one's commitment to a pro-Western foreign policy could produce a restraining effect on nationalism. While Madinier notes that Masjumi opposed the Indonesian government's forceful attempts to annex Irian Jaya on the grounds that this would lead to a break with the West, Mason and Fineman describe how U.S.-Indonesian and U.S.-Thai relations were shaped by a prolonged bargaining over the amount of aid to be provided and the nature of the diplomatic concessions to be made in exchange.
Ilya V. Gaiduk, Chen Jian and Tuong Vu analyze the strategies and tactics of three Communist powers: the Soviet Union, China and Vietnam. Gaiduk correctly observes that in Stalin's global strategy, incomparably less importance was attributed to Southeast Asia than to European affairs. He aptly illustrates the dictator's tactical flexibility by describing how in 1951 Stalin discouraged the Indonesian and Indian Communist leaders from launching a guerrilla war against the local "bourgeois" governments. Stalin's arguments, such as the unfeasibility of creating "liberated areas" in countries which had no common borders with Communist states, certainly made sense, but one may probe somewhat further in explaining his motives. After all, in the same period the Kremlin encouraged the Japanese Communist Party to pursue armed struggle, though such logistical obstacles were even more insuperable in Japan than in India and Indonesia.
Both Gaiduk and Chen highlight Stalin's readiness to allow China to "play a major role in promoting revolutions in the East" (p. 145). This decentralized conception of international Communist strategy may illuminate the aforesaid differences between Soviet attitudes toward the Indian, Indonesian and Japanese CPs. That is, the Soviet leaders probably wanted to concentrate their efforts on certain countries and avoid a simultaneous involvement in other regional crises.
While Chen emphasizes the role of Sino-centrism in Mao's strategy, Vu claims that the Vietnamese Communist leaders adopted a consistently pro-Soviet, rather than nationalist, standpoint, both during and after WW II. He convincingly demonstrates that the "the development of the Cold War […] was in fact welcome by many top Vietnamese leaders" (p. 173). As long as they had no other potential ally to rely on (Indonesia, as Samuel E. Crowl points out, could expect support from India, the Middle East and Australia), they had to pin all their hopes on Moscow. Still, one may consider independent priority-setting a more significant component of Vietnamese Communist policies than Vu does. After all, Chen notes that as early as during the Geneva conference, the Viet Minh's designs for Laos led to disagreements in Sino-Vietnamese relations.
Similarly to Vu, Edward Miller seeks to refute common stereotypes by stressing that the foreign policy of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was more independent and less America-centric than it has been generally thought. For instance, he reveals that despite Pakistan's staunch anti-Communist stance, Diem made greater efforts to cultivate ties with neutralist India. Nonetheless, India's relations with the two Vietnams underwent several successive changes, which are not given emphasis in Miller's essay.
All in all, this volume is a truly indispensable work for those studying modern Southeast Asian history or Cold War history. Its contributors have done extensive research in various – American, British, French, Russian, and Chinese – archives, and its bibliography is composed of a wide range of secondary sources published in ten languages. To the credit of its editors and contributors, this book brings new perspectives into scholarship in a remarkably non-polemical way.

Fernando Torres netted the decisive strike in a 2-1 win after substitute Andre Schurrle had cancelled out Craig Bellamy's first-half opener.
Serial winner Mourinho was left to bemoan the controversial losses at Aston Villa and to Sunderland after the Blues finished four points behind champions Manchester City at the end of a rare trophyless campaign for the self-proclaimed Special One.
Asked if Manuel Pellegrini's men, beaten twice by Chelsea, were worthy winners, Mourinho said: "I believe so
They are champions
They have four more points than Chelsea, two more points than Liverpool.
"They are not guilty of Aston Villa-Chelsea and Chelsea-Sunderland, it's nothing to do with them
They deserve (it).
"I never did (finish third)
It's the first time
Third position is not a drama
It's a position we have to accept in this transitional period.
"You can't click your fingers and success arrives
This season it almost happened, but, for the last time, Aston Villa-Chelsea and Chelsea-Sunderland make it more difficult."
Mourinho, who will present his end-of-term report to the Chelsea hierarchy on Monday, mentioned the two losses on six occasions while promising a title challenge next term.
He added: "Next season, if we do our work in a successful way during the summer market - I know the club is trying to do everything to make that period a successful period for us - I want to start day one saying that we are going to fight for the title.
"We need to improve and we don't run away from that responsibility.
"The club will not run away from responsibility of bringing a couple of important players to us.
"(And) I will not run away from my work to keep developing the team."
Mourinho insists the Chelsea squad does not require major surgery and wants to keep out of contract trio John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, who is considering his options away from Stamford Bridge after eight years.
Cole, who was second-choice left-back this term, captained Chelsea in the absence of Terry (knock) and Lampard (illness), both of whom are reportedly pondering contract extensions on reduced terms.
Asked if that was Cole's final appearance, Mourinho said: "I don't know, but I don't think so.
"He was not the captain to say goodbye in a nice way, he was the captain because he was the player on the pitch with more years of Chelsea."
Nevertheless Cole and other senior personnel will have to accept a more peripheral role if they are to stay on.
Mourinho expects Torres will stay, despite suggestions Chelsea will cut their losses on the ?50million striker.
The Blues boss said: "I think he will be at Chelsea
I don't know, I cannot say.
"The summer is a long summer
I can't believe that my next Premier League match I have to wait for three months.
"During these three months a lot of things can happen
Samuel Eto'o will finish his contract with the club so the normal situation is that he is leaving.
"We want to bring in a striker
Fernando and Demba (Ba) have contracts and have different situations
I am happy with them.
"(It is) no problem for me that they stay at the club if they are happy and committed."
Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists there is quality in his squad which was evident on the final day.
"Everyone can see signs," he said
"Of course, the difference in quality started to show in the end."
Bellamy will take time to consider his future at his hometown club.
Solskjaer added: "We've had chats
He's going to think about what he wants to do.
"For everyone in the club it's been a long, trying and testing period
You need some time to reflect and think about where you want to go and what you want to do."
Solskjaer knows the characters he wants at the club.
"It's got to be lads who love playing football, love that side of it, not the other side of football - the cars and all that flash bits," he said.
"The players here have got the experience of the Championship and that experience is something we've got to draw on."
Solskjaer also has the support of controversial owner Vincent Tan.
"We did have a good chat last night," the Norwegian added.
"I know where I want to go and what we have to do as a club
It's important for me that he trusts me to keep managing the club and taking it forward."
