Krystian Shek
Sometime during the year 1992, Krystian discovered his passion for electronic music, after having taken piano lessons for more than 10 years. Inspired by old Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre records he found himself listening to what was at the time referred to as techno music. He quickly decided that he, too, wanted to do "something like that". Not knowing how such music was produced, and having no idea what kind of appliance generated such synthetic beats, several years passed before Krystian coincidentally made a discovery that led him into the right direction. A friend of his owned an Amiga 500 Computer with a multi track recorder, which was capable of loading samples. Since Krystian, too, had such a computer, he borrowed the program and since then left his Amiga 500 hardly at all. Unfortunately, the programs limits were soon reached, and he didn't know how to continue. Later on, approximately at the end of 1994, he did finally find out how to produce music in a really professional way. After a time of trying and experimenting, Krystian made his first recordings, without offering them to anyone, however, not being happy with the outcome for the time being. At the end of 1997 the time had finally come: He put together three tracks of which he was sure, that they were excellently suitable for dancing.
Today Krystian is well-known for his Leftfield/Trip-Hop/Electronica releases on the superb -FAX Label- owned by Pete Namlook and of course he is very proud to be a member of the Cold Busted family.

you know, i honestly don't get it. i made these cookies twice and am never making them again. yes, they were chewy. and chocolaty. but they were also far too sweet and far too crumbly. two thumbs down.
I agree with the polish chick. These cookies were awful. If I ever attempt them again, I'm going with the King Arthur recipe that's similar. 2 1/4 cups of powdered sugar and 1 cup of cocoa seems much more sane than 3 freaking cups of powdered sugar and 1/2 cup of cocoa. These were like chewy black circles of powdered sugar. So nasty.

Dead Girls' Danceby Rachel Caine
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Claire Danvers has her share of challenges—like being a genius in a school that favors beauty over brains, dealing with the homicidal girls in her dorm, and above all, finding out that her college town is overrun with vampires. On the up side, she has a great roommate (who tends to disappear at sunup) and a new boyfriend named Shane, whose vampire-hunting dad has called in backup: cycle punks who like the idea of killing just about anything.
Now a fraternity is throwing its annual Dead Girls' Dance and—surprise!—Claire and her equally outcast best friend, Eve, have been invited. When they find out why, all hell is going to break loose. Because this time both the living and the dead are coming out—and everybody's hungry for blood.
Claire Danvers faces more challenges from both college and the undead in this second entry in the Morganville Vampires series.

A U.S. Senate committee approved a bill that would bypass President Barack Obama and permit the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline, part of a drive by a bipartisan group of lawmakers to force a vote by the full Senate.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission may increase risk of manipulation and volatility in markets for oil, gas and other commodities unless new speculation limits apply similar treatment to physical-settled and cash-settled derivatives, Senator Maria Cantwell said.
U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, who previously voted against a proposed U.S. regulatory overhaul, plans to back the legislation, bringing Democrats closer to the 60 votes needed for it to pass, her spokesman said.
The U.S. Transportation Department issued an emergency order designed to reduce the risks of transporting crude from North Dakota's booming Bakken region by rail, a week after an oil train derailed and burned in Virginia.

The right bra is important ladies
So throughout my weight loss my bra size has changed dramatically. I know a lot of women are afraid their breasts are going to shrink if they lose weight, but it shouldn't be a concern of yours. Although I can't really complain (oh wait, yes I can! But that will come later!) since I went from a 40D to a 30F (UK) and 30DDDD/G (US). The annoyance comes from the fact that I have to buy bras online/specialty shops now.
I recently bought the bra above, a Panache Cleo Penny Plunge Bra in size 30F. My first well-fitting bra in a while! It feels amazing to finally have a bra that fits properly and doesn't require constant adjustment! I love this bra and I'm afraid I'm going to get addicted to buying lingerie. I was already scouring the internet for more Panache bras because I simply loved this one so much. Oh, US manufactures, why must I trot to foreign companies to buy my bras?
It's funny. I couldn't fit into Victoria's Secret bras before I lost weight…and now I can't fit into them at my goal weight (I was a 32DD briefly, so I was able to wear them for about a month or two). Women often think VS is the end-all for bras but it's not the case. Chances are if you go there you will get measured incorrectly so they can fit you into their small range of bras ;) Learn how to measure yourself so you can find the correct size you need.
I can't really stress this enough. If you're losing weight, you're going to need to get new bras frequently. You've probably heard of breasts becoming saggy once weight loss occurs. A well-fitting bra can prevent that.
I'm not going to go into the right way to measure yourself here, but I will point you in the right direction. Just know the following rules: 1) DON'T ADD INCHES TO YOUR BAND SIZE, 2) Don't measure above your breasts to get your band size, measure directly under them, and 3) Don't freak out if you're suddenly a F cup or something. You're not a freak, most companies just want to squish you into their poorly-fitting bras because they're lazy.
Bra Fitting Resources
You can also find sites at the above links to find your size to purchase. Count yourself as lucky if you fall into the 32-44A-D range though!
Good luck ladies!

Movie News
Another Writer Crosses Over Into THE TWILIGHT ZONE!!
The Kidd here...
Warner Bros. is really intent on making a movie based around THE TWILIGHT ZONE so much so that they've hired yet another writer to come aboard and give the script another once-over.
Following the original draft by Jason Rothenberg and the subsequent rewrite by Anthony Peckham, it's Joby Harold, who Warner Bros. already looked to for rewrite duty on Tom Cruise's ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, now tasked with cracking THE TWILIGHT ZONE and moving it closer to production, says Variety.
Matt Reeves is still attached to direct the picture, which would somehow work elements of THE TWILIGHT ZONE into one steady story as opposed to the multiple segment approach taken for the 1983 film, which adapted episodes of the classic series for the big screen.

...with that out of the way. I like Matt Reeves, but the thing I liked most about the Twilight Zone film was that it gave each individual director a sandbox to play in. Each had it's own tone and feel. That's why it worked for me. I kinda hope Warner Brothers changes their mind about one singular story, or even better... put one person through the ringer with different settings... thereby letting several cinematographers in leu of directors play the field. Could work
June 7, 2012, 11 p.m. CST
BAD IDEA. Twilight Zone was still good in it's hour long format but not near the greatness of those 30 minute episodes. You can't possibly hope to prolong TZ for two whole hours.

I'm ok with one story I suppose, but I doubt it'll be better than an anthology
by Jaster Mareel
What do you do, make a possessed town with a bunch of weird shit in it? The beauty of The Twilight Zone was the twists on what the audience expects and to look at things from a completely different viewpoint. Since every story has a specific theme individual unto itself, I don't see how you can combine them into a larger story. You can do like Tales From the Crypt did and just make a really long episode, but then it's like =why even bother putting the brand name on it?=. Was Demon Knight really Tales from the Crypt? It's just Demon Knight with the Crypt Keeper introducing it. Making it long form sort of defeats the purpose.

"One Steady Story" ISN'T what TZ is all about
by Dursman2000
The show was about 25 minute episodes, period and end of story. When they fleshed it out and did the one season of hour-long shows, it failed and very few of them had the impact of the initial format. TZ is an ANTHOLOGY series. Making a 2-hour feature out of one story is what Shyamalan has tried to do with most of his movies. How is this any different?

I agree about Black and White
by Jay Garrick
One of the things about the best episodes of Twilight Zone is the use of shadows and the aura of foreboding and mystery they grant a scene. Sadly, Hollywood types don't "get" that idea and are convinced people (read:kids) won't see a black and white film. I don't buy into that, make a movie that is truly kick ass and that will get people into the theater. Finally, a Twilight Zone film can work as a relatively low budget film. Heavy handed CG and monster sets are not a requirement. Focus on story and less on bang pow and a magnificent TZ film can be made for 50 million without breaking a sweat.

Sin City made money, and it was (mostly) in B&W
by Nasty In The Pasty
Even Schindler's List made money, and that was a three-hour Holocaust movie. I think the idea that modern-day audiences won't watch a B&W movie is bullshit, mainly because B&W movies just aren't MADE anymore, unless it's an art-house flick or something by a "hip" filmmaker with a ton of creative clout. It's like saying no one wants to watch hand-drawn animated movies anymore, which is an easy claim to make when they're not at all common anymore (or well-advertised when they are...even critically-acclaimed Studio Ghibli films can't break the $20 million mark at the U.S. box office).

by Mickster_Island
Before we had cable, my dad would tell me the stories. And then when I was able to actually watch all those episodes he told me about, his versions were always scarier. The last episode, with Scout and her brother going into the pool to escape their fighting parents, ends with the kids deciding to stay in the country pond with the nice old lady that makes them cake and iced tea. Well, in my dad's version, the kids also end up deciding to stay with the nice old lady. Only the last shot is of the fighting parents discovering their two dead kids floating in the pool.

Jedirob's idea is great! "Anthology segments. Nolan, Del Toro, J.J. and Soderbergh"
by whitsbrain
Could it be that difficult to come up with an anthology "wrap-around" story and then allow directors like Nolan, Del Toro, J.J. and Soderbergh to go wild?!? Are there not 4 great short stories, with a twist, that these guys would not love to put on film!?! But on the other hand, how do you keep something like this from smelling like "Masters of Horror" or "Masters of Science Fiction". I guess you'd need to couch them in the Twilight Zone brand.

Nightmare at 30k feet...
by Darth Macchio
The Lithgow/Miller version of course...to me some of the greatest thriller/horror ever put to film and it would utterly fail if it was longer. The creature (gremlin) was magnificently designed and put to film - a flawless effect; and, so far as I know, starting the trend of having ominous non-human characters wag their fingers in a old school-marm "No, no, no!" gesture (saw it in JC's T2 and many more since) Acting, soundtrack, filming, pacing...it's about as perfect as you can get and I'm convinced it would fail as a feature length movie. The rest of TZ is good...even amidst the tragedy of Morrow and the 2 kids being killed in that careless accident...but I always felt that it was criminally unfair that Miller's phenomenal work on "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet" was somewhat scuttled in the mainstream by the terrible events during production. I think vignettes is the absolute best way to go...and they shouldn't be longer than 40-45 minutes. Matt Reeves is a great choice tho - had a blast with Cloverfield and I felt his work on "Let Me In" was superb...in some ways, better than the original import "Let the Right One In".

It could also be something much better. Prepare to enter... Your entering a realm that's unusual. Is it magic, or contain some kind of monster? The second one. Prepare to enter... Imagine if you will, an announcer you can barely understand. He refers to a goompdalgajvghmba, but you're not quite sure what he said. He seems to be eating something, or perhaps he's a little drunk. It's remotely possible that he just said something about... You're taking a vacation from normalcy. The setting, a weird motel where the bed is stained with mystery. There's also some mystery floating in the pool. Your key card may not open the exercise room, because someone smeared mystery on the lock. But it will open... The Scary Door."

where he comes back to life in the middle of his own funeral and may or may not have supernatural powers. Not the greatest TZ episode, but it was cool to run across one I'd never seen.

Hurry up already!
by Rob Jenson
I'm a massive Twilight Zone fan and can't wait for this one. I've always been a sucker for anything that evokes TZ's tone, be it LOST or Stephen King at his best, and to have fresh TZ to look forward to is very cool news indeed. But they better nail it. TONE MATTERS. Don't just throw weird sci-fi or horror stuff at the screen.

The debate about Rupert Sheldrake's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Rupert Sheldrake's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.
Chris Anderson, TED Curator

Craig Weiler 10+Mar 26 2013: This format that TED has created for discussing this issue is a real head scratcher. Did we really need two weeks of debate on this subject?
Shouldn't the science board have been part of these discussions? Maybe float some objections out our way so that they can see how they're received? Maybe put some other minds to work on whether these are reasonable or not?
The way this is set up, we all put in all sorts of comments over an extended period of time and then when it's all done the science board gets the last word. If they cave in and allow the videos back up, then it's all good.
But what if they come up with a new set of objections and we don't like them? Then what? We haven't had a chance to see them beforehand or discuss them, so they'll be coming out of the blue. We're right back where we started. There are a lot of people covering this. I've tried to make a list of them on one of my blog posts, but it's way outdated by now: (I have 24 listed at the bottom of the post.)
As Sheldrake pointed out, he has nothing to argue about because the Science board hasn't weighed in.
It's not like everyone is just going to pack up and go home. No, the fight will continue and a lot of people will still be unhappy with TED.
This is screwy. This is, of course, crossposted to the Hancock thread.

For those Americans who ventured forth to Europe during the post-war '50s, it was in many ways reminiscent of the 1930s. There was still a great mystery and sense of adventure that has all but disappeared in this age of cheap airfares and instant messaging. A friend once remarked that she would never get to France. I quipped that it was just a matter of buying a ticket.
Steve Earle, the maestro of the Monterey Historic Automobile Races, was fortunate enough to be one of the motorsport vagabonds in 1959, when he ditched his studies and headed off to Old Europe to see firsthand what he and thousands just like him had read about. The famous public roads of Reims amid the plains of Champagne were host to the French Grand Prix and Grand Prix of Europe in those days, and Earle arrived just in time for a round of practice and then the race.
"I had never seen a crowd that big for anything, people some 20 deep lined up for miles around the French countryside," remembered Earle. "I was right there at the restaurant at the end of a straight. Phil Hill got off to a great start in his Ferrari Dino and, as I recall, spun it three times in front of me. There was a group of well-dressed ladies who seemed oblivious to the race until Phil Hill would come into view, when they chanted "Pheeel Heeel!" It was a Ferrari 1-2, Tony Brooks taking the checkered and Phil right behind. Their prancing horses that day were Ferrari Dino 246s, the last of the truly great front-engine grand prix racers.
I remember doodling in elementary school what appeared to be the Dino 246. Sure, all grand prix-and for that matter-Indy cars tended to look the same to a 6-year-old. But I knew it was a Ferrari. Somehow I knew it was different, and that was all I cared about. My first slot car set had a BRM and a red Ferrari Dino. In a time of uniquely styled and handcrafted automobiles, I always considered the red Dino the most beautiful and balanced of any single seater of that era. Nothing since has caused me to change that opinion.
For those unfamiliar with how the Dino name came to be attached to so many Ferraris, a bit of background. Signora Laura gave birth to Alfredo Ferrari on January 19, 1932. "Dino," as he was usually known, became the most important thing in Enzo Ferrari's life. It became clear to those around the inner circle that young Dino would someday take over the business. However, Dino suffered much sickness in his youth and passed away on June 30, 1956, from muscular dystrophy. Dino had been a gifted engineering student, and Enzo Ferrari had always said that his son contributed a great deal to the development of what was to become the V6 before his death, and the 246 F1 is just one of the many that proudly carry on the Dino name in the Ferrari family.
The decision to build the V6 came in reaction to new FIA rules governing Formula 2. In late 1956, the first of the new 1.5-liter powerplants was running on a Maranello test bench. The question of how to deal with balance problems prompted engineer Vittorio Jano to envision and come up with a six cylinder along the lines of three V-twins. This led to a neat crankshaft design, and the whole assembly was built around a one-piece crankcase.
Weighing in at less than 280 lb, the new V6 showed great promise in cranking out an initial 180 bhp. There were a great many design departures from the traditional 12-cylinder motors, and the little six-cylinder liners were scrapped in lieu of a seating flange and copper gasket.
The appearance of the new V6 mandated that a new chassis be constructed for use in Formula 2. It was well known that Ferrari placed a far greater importance on the output of his motors over any decision favoring chassis or aerodynamics. This outdated thinking in Maranello lasted throughout the '50s, and only then did Ferrari pay attention to the other areas making up a race car. There were those within the company who knew of the importance of a good chassis, and this was the case as development began on the new F2 car. In many ways, the F2 Dino resembles a scaled-down but more attractive Lancia D-50 (which later became the Lancia Ferrari 801). Starting with the traditional ladder frame, additional tubing was used to give it, in effect, the look of a spaceframe. The forward-angled placement of the motor was an absolute necessity for the driveline.
The front suspension consisted of beautifully forged wishbones, backed up in the rear with the usual de Dion setup. This stable yet oddly elegant design was to be constantly updated throughout the life of the Dino (fully independent rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, superior shocks). A thin-wall aluminum body was then wrapped around this new, potent challenger from Ferrari.
Setbacks aside, the later promise shown in the Dino F2 during the 1957 season gave way to serious construction of a bigger motor to propel the Dino into the ranks of Formula One. Formula One's new 2.5-liter classification brought forth the 246 powerplant (2.4L, six cylinders), which used the previous F2 cars as test beds. As with the 1.5 unit, the new motor featured two overhead cams per cylinder bank. A Marelli magneto fired the twin plugs in each cylinder, fuel supplied through three double-barrel Weber carburetors. At a close to 9.0:1 compression ratio, the new V6 could be counted on to produce about 290 bhp at 8300 rpm.
A one-off Dino 256 made an appearance with Mike Hawthorn at the Italian Grand Prix in 1958 with an output of 310 bhp. The future World Champion settled for second that day behind the race-winning Vanwall of Tony Brooks. Of interest was an American by the name of Phil Hill, who finished third in a Ferrari Dino 246.
A new run of chassis for 1958 was well underway before the new season started. In Doug Nye's excellent book on the history of the Dinos, he makes the case for the usual chassis number chicanery. The new 246 cars were known as either big tube or small tube, as in frame. Renumbered chassis, that sort of thing. A perfect example is the 246 as driven by Mike Hawthorn: Was it renumbered after the conversion to disc brakes? (I love this sort of thing.) The small-tube-chassis 246s were apparently not too successful due to a lack of rigidity and were later redone. The new generation of lightweight, rear-engine British cars were starting to make their presence felt, and the lights burned late at Maranello in keeping the Dino ahead of the pack.
Mike Hawthorn drove perhaps his Dino's finest race at Reims in 1958 in a totally dominant performance. Tony Brooks was to repeat this at Reims a year later aboard his Dino. And then there is Phil Hill giving the Dino 246 F1 the last great victory at the Italian Grand Prix in 1960.
Finally, a question about the clear plexi cover over the carburetors. For years I asked anybody who might know how that came to be. I have heard that the drivers needed it to be clear so they could see over the hood, but my favorite has to be, "It's because it's Italian."
Driving The DinoA Day At Sears Point This is how the phone conversation went: "What kind of Grand Prix car? Ferrari? Wow. A 246 Dino from 1959/60? Wow, again! What day do you want me there? Anything I can do to help out?"
The prettiest front-engine Grand Prix car ever made has just pulled up at the Sears Point paddock, sitting on an open slant-bed transporter. The opportunity to drive Ferrari's last front-engine Grand Prix contender is here. As I sit in the car and go over the gauges and controls, my respect and admiration is raised even higher for the drivers that competed in that era.
No custom-fitted seat, definitely no shift paddles on the steering wheel, just left-hand shift with a reverse "H" pattern. First gear is over to the far left and down, right next to fifth gear; no reverse. The actual seating position is comfortable, slightly laid back, but my legs are spread to reach the pedals; the driveshaft runs right between them. The gauges are what one would expect: tachometer, oil temp and pressure, water temperature and fuel pressure. Very straightforward.
The starting procedure when the car is cold is truly a procedure. The Dino must be towed around the paddock slowly to get the fuel pressure and oil pressure up. Once this is accomplished, I have to quickly switch on the magnetos, engage the clutch, slip into second gear and "bump" start. When the Dino fires up, I can't exceed 2500 rpm until the oil temperature is up. There were no mounted starters in GP cars back then, so it's a push start in pit lane-and don't let the engine die on circuit.
In over 20 years of driving a vast array of current and vintage race cars, I don't think I have felt so many sensations on just the "out lap." I have run at circuits such as Goodwood in a Maserati A6GCS and Le Mans in an RSR, but the Dino represents something else entirely-the aroma of Castrol R; every vibration and track undulation coming up through the seat bottom; the strange shift pattern; figuring out the only way to see the track and gauges at the same time is to look through the steering wheel and just over the instrument panel; sliding all over the seat; getting the tires and brakes up to temperature. Most important, though, was getting used to the V6's powerband, being careful not to go over the 8000-rpm redline.
What fabulous noise! The Dino has one of the loudest, most beautiful ear-piercing screams I've ever experienced in motorsport, and that includes Cosworth and Ferrari and Matra V12s. Ear plugs should be permanently glued in.
After a couple of laps, everything starts to come together. The L-section Dunlops and brakes are up to temperature, making the car very stable and predicable under braking for a car with 5x16-in. wire wheels. The Dino was Ferrari's first use of disc brakes on a GP car; thank you, Peter Collins! The Dino is geared a little too tall for Sears Point, so I'm only using second, third and fourth gears, which is fine with the exception of turn 11, where on corner entry the engine falls off the powerband. However, when the V6 comes back on, the Dino steps out a little on the exit. All very nice and predictable.
Setting myself at a conservative pace, there is a bit of mid-corner understeer, but as I pick up the pace, the front tires start working and the Dino shows neutral handling with some slight oversteer at the corner exits. This seems to be typical of Dunlop-shod cars of this era. The car is very tight, and as my confidence builds, it really starts getting fun. I'm sliding around a lot in the seat and hanging on to the steering wheel. I'd always heard and read about this-no belts and a lot of sliding around-but for me it was a new experience.
The Dino has a much more purposeful feel than any of the sports cars from the '50s I've driven, and I guess even today a Grand Prix car is a tool as much as a car. The strange gear pattern starts to become familiar, which is good, because if I do miss a shift (I did once), everyone is Sonoma County will hear. On the final lap I can't take the smile off my face. I had so much fun, but the overriding impression the Dino left with me is more of an appreciation for Hill, Brooks, Gurney, Hawthorne, Collins, etc., the men who drove these Dinos with courage and precision in the world's best racing.

Saturday, April 12 marked 150 years since the Battle of Fort Pillow in Henning, Tennessee. Hundreds of soldiers died in The Battle of Fort Pillow and it marked a turning point in the Civil War. Tennessee State Parks honored the lives of the soldiers killed with a moving commencement ceremony. This 150th Commemoration Ceremony included tributes to the fallen solider by surviving family members, living history demonstrations and a look back at the battle with notable Tennessee historians. Fort Pillow State Park is located on the western edge of Tennessee, approximately 40 miles north of Memphis. The park is rich in historic and archaeological significance. Steep bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River made this area a strategic location during the Civil War. The fort was originally built by Confederate troops in 1861 and named after General Gideon J. Pillow of Maury County. It was abandoned in 1862 due to the Union Navy's advance down the Mississippi River and then occupied by federal troops. The area became a state park in 1971.

The soup was just ok, and none of us was crazy about it. Despite the wide number of ingredients, and the use of chicken stock instead of water, the soup was still missing something.
Cuban Black Bean Soup
Becky Luigart-Stayner-Jan Gautro
Inspired by his Cuban mother's black bean soup, Chef Douglas Rodriguez of DeLaCosta restaurant in Chicago developed the robust flavor in this recipe for people who didn't have money to spend on meat for stock. Here we use both fresh and dried oregano because each imparts a different flavor to the final dish.

Decanting wine not only presents well, but it literally breathes life into the vino by adding oxygen, releasing the vino's true flavors. But not everyone has the patience to decant a wine, which means they're shorting themselves of its true flavor and ultimately over spending since they're not harnessing the wine's real value.
Enter aerators. These small apparatuses offer a decanting experience in a matter of minutes, if not seconds as their funnel and cyclone like design expedites the aerating process. However, most aerators deliver air at the same rate regardless of the type of wine, which isn't optimal. The TWIST improves on the traditional aerators design by offering an hour dial. Turn a dial and you can vary the emulated air hours from 1 to 6. Sure, you'll really need to know your wines to determine what vino calls for what hours, but there will surely be some fun in experimenting how one wine is influenced with a variety of hours, albeit on different bottles.
The TWIST is available now for $40.

Suspects Arrested In Greer Church Burglaries - July 22, 2013
Police in Greer say they've arrested two suspects in connection to multiple church burglaries in the city.
Warrants were signed for Elex Tyrell Gregory and Dezmund Trevon Cohen.
Keep checking back for more updates as we gather additional information.
Greer Churches Burglarized, Police Search For Person Of Interest - July 19, 2013
It's a crime spree that targets local churches. Now police need your help to find the man, who may have information on at least 5 church break-ins.
The burglaries happened between July 17th and 19th. Police say the crook used several different ways to get into the building, including kicking in front or side doors, forcing open weak or unlocked door and busting through windows.
Police say the crook stole cash and donations, then ran off.
Minister Carlos Hugues noticed the back door ripped in half at the Geer Church of Christ Friday morning.
He reviewed security tape and noticed two people go into his office and then through the rest of the church. He wishes the burglars asked for help instead of trying to take advantage.
"We can help them but they don't need to cause that kind of damage to the house of Christ," Hugeus said.
Church workers began repairs Friday.
The other churches affected include Victor United Methodist Church, Lord of Glory Church, Calvary Baptist Church and Hillcrest church.
Some places lost as much as $120 in donations, other as little as $15 in cash with some coins as well.
The damages to doors and windows will cost the churches much more than what was taken.
"Churches try to do much for the community, these are community churches and to have them broke into and vandalized is sad," Lt. Jim Holcombe, with the Greer Police, said.
If you know anything about these crimes, or can help police find their person of interest, please call the Greer Police Department at 864.877.7906.

Mo. police seek $45 mil to fight crime
By Lynn Horsley and Christine Vendel
Kansas City Star
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Too few cops on the streets. Too many high-mileage patrol cars. Vietnam-era helicopters. And an alarming spike in homicides.
Those are just some of the factors propelling the Kansas City Police Department to seek a $45 million increase in next year's budget to help pay for 54 new officers, more jailers and 911 call-takers, crime lab upgrades and more.

Neither good enough to impress as a meta mashup of horror and comedy, nor bad enough to hoot and throw popcorn at, it slides into a gray area of unfocused ideas and unrealized potential.
Tries way, way, way too hard. A directorial drum solo that quickly wears out its welcome.
There will be young moviegoers who proclaim this genius, and more stodgy audience members who find it torturous. If you're not tweeting and texting a combined 50 times or more per day, you're probably in the latter camp.
Here's another sardonic look at the hell of the American high school, where countless American filmmakers believe our souls are locked no matter how long it's been since we graduated.
Exhausting before its first few minutes of whip-pans, smash cuts, coarsely self-referential jokes and on-screen text visuals is over...
In this universe people seem composed of 1 percent water and 99 percent '90s references and genre expectations.
Detention is unlike any teen slasher you've ever seen, or quite possibly will see. It's proof that fresh ideas and off the wall filmmaking are still a possibility in today's cinematic world.
It's hard not to admire the absolute commitment to a script that is very ambitious and totally bonkers in the plot department. And maybe its lack of focus is meant to reflect the scattered attention spans of its audience.
The Breakfast Club meets Scream in self-consciously quirky teen horror comedy mash-up Detention - with elements of Freaky Friday, Donnie Darko and a string of other movies thrown into the pot too.
Detention is a hypnotic hipster acid trip - a brazenly irreverent jolt to the system that screams cult gem.
...too weird and too off-the-wall to become anything more than a mildly amusing curiosity.
I often fell in to the category of despising it but also kept dabbling in the area of admiration for being so unpredictable and original.
Its willingness to not only acknowledge but outright revel in its own shallowness is refreshing.
The story makes little sense, but the rapid-fire jokes are amusing at times. Sometimes they hit, sometimes they miss. Just keep plugging away and the audience may laugh a time or two.
An over-the-top film of boundless energy and if not empty voice then at least wholly scattershot imagination; full of robust but scrupulously manufactured eccentricities.
If you're a film lover who watches movies all the time, it's nice to have a film or two out there that elevates the craft of watching a movie. I know I need to go to the next level sometimes.
Kahn's fast-paced, Aaron Sorkin-like "Detention" deserves cult-hit status. Just as "The Social Network" embodies our Facebook culture, this SXSW film-festival favorite rewrites today's high school movie bible.
Once you get past the movie's rough beginnings and adjust to its goofy spirit and episodic randomness, Detention becomes a good deal of fun.
Sort of like The Breakfast Club meets Donnie Darko, except without a hint of subtlety.
It's as if someone vomited pastel-hued nostalgia. I must apologize for that statement: Pastel vomit would take some effort to produce.
Audience Reviews for Detention
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
From its first moments, Detention lets the audience know that it�(TM)s not going to be a typical teen-horror comedy. We are introduced to Taylor, a Generation Y nightmare made from equal parts My Super Sweet Sixteen protagonist and Hipster Runoff article. She cheerfully berates her hapless family and potential hook ups while extolling her toxically narcissistic and hyper connected world view before being brutally murdered by a generic masked serial killer called Cinderhella. Khan demonstrates that he is aware of the simmering hatred that exists for particularly self-involved teenage girls and the dark satisfaction that comes from seeing them brutally, artfully murdered. From there we are introduced to a group of modernized high school stereotypes; Riley (Shanley Caswell), the kind of girl who goes to a costume party dressed as Angela Chase, Clapton (Josh Hutcherson), a boy with the personality of a young Matthew McConaughey and the taste of Pitchfork blogger, Ione (Spencer Locke) a fractal of a blonde cheerleader, and a lascivious nerd with omnicidal tendencies called Sander (Aaron David Johnson).
Kahn uses and abuses his cast in all the ways we've seen before in '80 teen comedies, Kevin Williamson's '90s output and post 9/11 indie cinema for the first third of the film before adding plot lines of a half dozen other genre movies in the margins of the film to increasingly dazzling effect. Clapton is menaced by an impossibly stupid jock (Parker Bagley) who is going through a Cornenbergian body horror arc. Riley's Heathers' influenced quips fall away when she�(TM)s targeted by Cinderhella. Ione becomes the most popular girl in school pulling a Freaky Friday with her mother's teenage self who looks and acts exactly like her. Sander goes through an inversion of Donnie Darko's journey without the benefit of being as attractive as Jake Gyllenhaal. There are other genre types present such Dane Cook's youth hating principle and a few ethnic supporting players that have as minimal characterization, as is tradition but they're mostly window dressing to further underline the moral of most '80s teen comedies: destroy everything unique and unpleasant about yourself and you'll be happy. This thematic spine keeps the piece from falling into incoherence despite the disparate genre elements.
Outside of the carefully dissection of generic types, to which Khan makes the unoriginal judgment that they are not full of depth, he does score some points for his vaguely insightful view of teenage life. Khan gives his kids broad cultural tastes that range from worshiping Patrick Swayze movies to a communal interest in watching the latest torture porn movie. They all speak in Williamson-ian hyper articulation and meta awareness with a presentational style that recalls in her prime Winona Ryder. These elements give the impression that Khan drew inspiration from his own youth rather than the throngs of Katy Perry loving youngsters that Khan makes videos for. But some things are timeless, like parties where the host demands that no one uses the toilet or the way inseparable friendships implode when mutual desire is introduced into the equation. These moments of adolescent pain and insecurity shine through all the layers of reference and sarcasm and hint that Khan has more going on than �look at how well I've studied the things I loved as a child�?.
You can see Khan's enthusiasm and visual flair in sequences where a teenager lives through twenty years of changing musical and fashion trends in one beautiful 360 degree shot or how Khan subtly changes up how he films the movie depending on what genre he's playing with; lens flares and speed ramping for the horror scenes and color saturated medium and close shots for the romatic stuff. He also throws in a few bits of the fiery end-of-the-world terror, Glee style musical, and most enigmatically alien abduction conspiracy. This genre m� (C)lange works best when Khan focuses on the fantastic, as shown in his music video work where he does spectacle well but he stumbles with it comes to crafting relatable characters. Because Khan fails to maintain a balance between pop fun and smaller moments of human interaction, he fails to successful crossover formats the way Spike Jonze, Jonathan Glazer and Mark Romanek. Detenetion is solid first effort but a first effort nonetheless.
At this point Khan has reached the level of Paul Hunter, Bryan Barber and Hype Williams, being an effective visual stylist who got to make one inventively directed, wildly uneven feature. Hunter, Barber and Williams all retreated back into the world of music videos with periodic threats to return to big screen film making with no success. Khan, with his anarchic tone, inarguable skills and ambition to prove that multiple genres can overlap without drowning each other out could find himself on par with Neveldine/Taylor or he could be the next Marcos Seiga, a man who directed one interesting film followed by a Ryan Reynolds drama and absolute nadir of any filmmaker's career, a Nick Cannon comedy. If he learns the right lessons from his first directorial effort and is selective about the material he works on next he'll make something amazing. If not, he'll be the third choice to direct Green Lantern 2.

Bravo, bravo, this dish was fabulous.Spicy & smoky, my husband was still raving the next day. I had a small dinner party Saturday night & we doubled the broth recipe & made 5 doz clams, as there were 3 men with pretty big appetites.. My husband actually made the broth & clams on a charcol grill, while I grilled the corn, poblanos & onions on a separate gas grill, it worked perfect. I started with a platter of Spanish tapas, then to keep the grill theme, we grilled hearts of romaine brushed with a mix of olive oil & cayene pepper and dressed it with a guacamole dressing made with nonfat plain yogurt & 1/2 an avocado(see recipie at myrecipes.com). We will make this again !!
Grill-Braised Clams and Chorizo in Tomato-Saffron Broth

lisap515 Posted: 06/30/11
This is one of the best recipes we have made in a long time! We were actually impressed with oursleves after tasting it!! The smoke was nice and not too much, teh lemon helped to cut right through it. I thought it was a little on the spicy end - it may have been an extra spicy poblano, chorizo or I added to much red pepper (I tend to eye vs measure it). We will definitely make again and this will surely make the list of impressive dishes for guests!
carolfitz Posted: 09/17/11
Intensely flavorful, intensely fragrant, summer in a bowl. Made to recipe except pre-grilled and prepped the poblano, corn, green onions & chorizo earlier in the day. Kept things a little simpler at dinner time. Served with icy-cold Pacifico Clara.
KMax411 Posted: 08/23/12
Oustanding. Full of great flavors, I served over some fresh pasta. Kids liked it as much as my husband and I. I upped the garlic to 10 cloves and omitted the corn, mostly because I don't care for it all that much. Otherwise, mainly kept to the recipe. Will be making this again very soon.

This was really really good, but it felt like a lot of work. Definitely an impressive dish for guests.

Day 2 (Part 10) !
October 21st, 2006
Actually, TurboCrawler made the next attempt and they, too, succeeded in getting all the way to the top. Their time was 3 minutes and 27 seconds.
So, now we have four teams that have made it all the way to the top; University of Michigan's MClimber (who was first - 6 minutes and 40 seconds), USST (who have been the fastest so far (58 seconds), LiteWon (2 minutes and 20 seconds on their second attempt) and now TurboCrawler (3 minutes and 27 seconds).
UBC-Snowstar is next up…

Has anyone discussed using spider silk as the space elevator ribbon? its probably easier to make than the over-hyped nanotubes. Go Deutschland! Win Win Win
