I may have just had to throw an elbow in the salad bar on some dude who was all up in personal space. The lettuce isn't going anywhere buddy and the carrots will wait that extra half second for me to put the tongs down and take a step.
Warning I played basketball for many many years i can still hip check and box out - you will not be getting to the bacon bits any time soon.

Did not know that the veggies could be so popular.....
- CarlC
In my defense Carl my salads usually end up 75% cheese, bacon bits, and chicken.

The lettuce and carrots might not be going anywhere but we all know that bacon isn't safe and we must get there as quickly as possible to rescue it.

I've been wanting to watch Heathers for about 2 years now, but none of our local video stores have it. I'm not a member of Netflix or anything, so I haven't been able to watch it. :(

"I am standing on a roof in the mountains of the Kalash valleys. Below me hundreds of men are screaming and shouting as two small wooden balls are hit up the slopes by opposing teams of players. Women in intricately designed, brightly coloured dresses are looking on, talking and laughing. One player draws back his long wooden club and hammers the ball onward. Cries of joy fill the air."

"The Kalash live in three valleys (Bumboret, Birir and Rumbur) by the Afghan border in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

My journey from Islamabad was by road, through Mardan and Dir up to the Lowari tunnel and then down the other side. In the winter, when the Lowari pass is...

But Fox News contributor Liz Trotta’s commentary on the matter took the issue to a whole other level. She’s not really concerned about the “controversy” surrounding the Pentagon’s announcement. For Trotta, the issue is having “women once more, the feminist, going, wanting to be warriors and victims at the same time.” She cited a recent Pentagon report that violent sex crimes in the military have increased over the last 6 years and said women should “expect” it, decrying more levels of bureaucracy to support women who have been “raped too much“

It would be interesting to see if the 'Pet hair' function removes pet hair from pets, though.

Kerberos, the three-headed guard dog of Haides, is depicted draped in a mane of snakes. The bird flying above him probably represents a flittering soul. Herakles enters the scene on the right with only his club and foot showing.

"An outdated residence in Limpopo,South Africa, became a sleek semi-transparent modern residence the owners can be proud of. The Aboo Makhado Residence (or House Aboobaker) was designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects. Their task was to reconstructing an old residence while taking into account the excessive heat and need for natural light. Welcoming the inhabitants and guests with a special water feature on the facade, this South African home benefits from a 1132 square meters plot. The renovation increased the living surface from 343 square meters to 494 sqm."

Tardigrades are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. Some can survive temperatures of close to absolute zero (−273 °C (−459 °F)),[7] temperatures as high as 151 °C (304 °F), 1,000 times more radiation than other animals,[8] and almost a decade without water.[9] Since 2007, tardigrades have also returned alive from studies in which they have been exposed to the vacuum of outer space for a few days in low earth orbit. ~ Tardigrades are one of the few groups of species that are capable of reversibly suspending their metabolism and going into a state of cryptobiosis. Several species regularly survive in a dehydrated state for nearly ten years.

I love this! >> Saving Food From The Fridge: It Will Taste Better, May Even Last Longer And Reduce Your Energy Bills : TreeHugger - http://www.treehugger.com/kitchen...
"Fridges are a recent invention; for thousands of years, people lived without them, but had many low-tech ways of making food last. Today most fridges are filled with stuff that would last just as long and probably would taste a lot better if it was never lost in the back of the fridge. They are expensive air conditioned parking lots for what Shay Salomon called "compost and condiments." Some are looking at alternatives to such an expensive and wasteful model. Kris De Decker of No Tech Magazine "refuses to assume that every problem has a high-tech solution," and shows the work of Korean designer Jihyun Ryou, who says "we hand over the responsibility of taking care of food to the technology, the refrigerator. We don’t observe the food any more and we don’t understand how to treat it.""

I use all of them except the sand one. I never thought of sticking root veggies in sand and it's just a DUH! The others I do on a smaller scale, though Adrian won't let me leave eggs out. I do have to get on him about keeping "salsa veggies" in the fridge in plastic. That's just nasty.

The egg thing... will that work with store bought eggs that have the whatchmacallit removed?

You can make it with stuff found at IKEA. Or even the 99 Cent store.

They are really cute, but you'd need to build them bigger than these to be practical. I really like the idea. I HATE MY FRIDGE! It's so last century. :P
- TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC
Cool ideas. I would quibble with the statement that taking food out of the fridge reuces the energy usage. A nearly empty fridge running at a specfic temp setting will use more electricity than a fairly full fridge of the same size, at the same temp setting. Of course, opening the door frequently offsets that. If, by keeping fewer things in the fridge, you can switch to a smaller fridge, THAT would save energy.

Yeah, I think the smaller fridge was where they were going. Even still, I couldn't find a smaller fridge with a lower ES rating than what I have now. Most were at or wasted more.

"Two and a half miles beneath the surface of Antarctica’s central Eastern ice sheet is a body of water 160 miles by 30 miles across known as Lake Vostok, after the Vostok research station above it, built by the former Soviet Union in 1957 and now operated by Russia."

"Even by Antarctic standards it’s a brutal place, with the dubious honor of holding the record for the lowest measured temperature anywhere on the planet, a mind-if-not-body numbing -129 F or -89 C. Performing any kind of mechanical or scientific work in this environment is an immense challenge."

"Researchers have demonstrated a new and more effective method for regrowing blood vessels in the heart and limbs. The treatment method developed by Aaron Baker, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, could allow doctors to bypass surgery and instead repair damaged blood vessels simply by injecting a lipid-incased substance into a patient. Once inside the body, the substance stimulates cell growth and spurs the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. "

Space: 1999 occupies a special place in many of our memories — so when we heard that a reboot called Space: 2099 was in development, many people had mixed feelings. How would this show handle the original show's mixture of horror and kitschiness, not to mention the somewhat nonsensical premise?

It seems the Venezia festival has got more diverse in recent years. I remember that theme if the masks and customs were more classic Bohemian but now I can even see eastern tastes....It's beautiful.
