I’m off to my sister’s farm in the Ottawa Valley for some home cookin’ and Thanksgiving trimmings for a few days. I’m sure she has a 75lb turkey all ready to go.

She suggests if you’re in the mood for something new to cook it “butterflied”. It not only produces a juicier bird, but it means less time in the kitchen. Flattening, or spatchcocking, your turkey by cutting out its backbone allows…

The House on the Castle Mountainside project by Fran Silvestre Architects proposes to integrate into the environment by respecting their strategies of adaptation. The indoor space is divided by the void that cuts a parallel disposition of the mountain without touching it. The house has two floors with four rooms. The rooms at the intermediate level are open to the private street, the others on the upper level overlook above the houses opposite. The study is opened in turn to the central double height and on the mountain are the areas facing the garden day. The garage and cellar are…
Glass sculptor, Luke Jerram, was born in 1974 and graduated from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff in 1997 with a first class honours degree in Fine Art. Luke is getting a great deal of attention lately by merging his masterful skills of glassblowing with his love of microbiology. Here’s what Luke had to say about the exhibit: Its great to be exploring the edges of scientific understanding and visualisation of a virus. Scientists aren’t able to answer many of the questions I ask them, such as how the RNA is exactly fitted within the Capsid? At the moment, the…
An amazing concept for integrating more green space into cities via Bus Roots. The first of its kind was installed recently on top of the BioBus which zips around the streets of New York City.

In his new film “The Dilemma”, Vince Vaughn’s character uses the term “That’s so gay” and now both him and Universal Pictures are rightfully paying a price for that mistake. In 2010 this sort of defamatory language is beyond irresponsible. I used to like Vince Vaughn, but those days are over now. It’s this sort of shit that influences countless kids out there that it’s OK to talk like this. Here’s Anderson Cooper’s take on the whole matter (NOTE: Skip to the 5:30 mark): You can also read the full story at The Huffington Post. Source: The Huffington Post
