Devil’s Rejects 11 Sep 2008 Sidney Lumet’s Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead starts with a sex scene that’s important for being so out-of-place. In movie shorthand, it suggests a prostitute and a john: The man is paunchy, she is lithe, and he’s taking her from behind. Surely, one of them will awaken in the morning and find the other dead.

Shiso, as you might know, comes with your sashimi dish at any Japanese restaurant. It is usually green, and looks as if they are recycled since no one eats them. I like them wrapped in a piece of sashimi since it absorbs fishy-ness from fish. People call it "Japanese basil" or perilla. There is also red shiso available sometimes.

photo: Image Editor It’s been rather, well, amusing to see the news coverage of the test firing of the Large Hadron Collider over the large few days. As somebody who has worked in physics and may occasionally classify themselves as a “physicist”, it’s really nice to see physics making the headlines! But I thought the news coverage was absolutely sensationalist and ridiculous. The downmarket British tabloid The Sun was ridiculously sensationalist with it’s headline “End of the world due in EepyBird’s Sticky Note experiment where they used 280,951...

But, just occasionally, a finding revolutionises the field and cracks open a whole range of diseases. The discovery in the 19th century that many illnesses are caused by bacteria was one such. The unravelling of Mendelian genetics was another. It now seems likely tExperiment: Can I Cheat The ‘Active Life’ Mat Like The Power Pad?
If you had an NES Power Pad back in the day, then you’ve played “World Class Track Meet.” And if you were like me, you eventually cheated and played with your hands instead of your feet. I suddenly became a world-class, record-breaking athlete by pounding my hands onto the pad to do the 100m dash, 110m hurdles and the long and triple jump events. Twenty-two years later, the Power Pad lives on with the release of “Active Life: Outdoor Challenge” and its “Active Life” mat for the Wii. BuQuadruple-clicked Catenanes
