...paper about methane emissions, published Thursday in Science. Based on a series of expeditions to the margins of the Arctic Ocean by ship and helicopter, University of Alaska researcher Natalia Shakhova and her colleagues report that methane, a greenhouse gas that is 30 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, is bubbling up from the continental shelf and leaking into the atmosphere. The estimated total: 8 teragrams - that's 8 trillion grams - per year. (See pictures of the effects of global warming...
...whole family, but we didn’t have enough money to go out and buy a five-person meal. So we went and bought five frozen TV dinners, and we were on such a tight schedule that we didn’t have enough time to heat them. So, we just put them on the plates. They did eventually start to melt. One of the actors took one for the team and actually ate some of the lukewarm food. But if you watch the scene closely enough, you’ll see that none of the characters really...
Yashinsky’s setting recasts an opera about the heat of personal passion within the narrative mold of the resistance against totalitarianism, so what normally seems like petty caprice or wanton vindictiveness is instead inscribed with the utmost seriousness. Under Fascism, nothing seems like melodrama. This cast, most of whom are unaffiliated with Harvard, commands a presence in the Lowell Dining Hall that emphasizes this gravity...
...sous vide's selling points is that water is a much better conductor of heat than air is. Set a water bath to 145°F (63°C), and food will reach that temperature and stay there. (Contrast that with the need to quickly remove meat from an oven or a grill lest it turn into a hockey puck.) Sealing food in plastic also ensures that no flavor or nutrients will seep out. Depending on what kind of food you're cooking and how tender you want it, you drop your pouch of food into water in the morning...
...making jokes about other movies; Smith does that, and so do too many other directors. Early on, there's a scene - even if you haven't seen the movie, you've seen the clip a dozen times - where Paul interrogates a suspect using tough-guy lines from other movies: Heat, Training Day, Jaws, Schindler's List, The Color Purple and finally Willis's own Die Hard. (Willis says, "I've never seen that one.") If the riff is Smith's contribution, it's both a testing and a flattering of his fans, and maybe a peace of meat...
