The art of home brewing can be a challenging process, as it involves a bit more chemistry than most of us are willing to endure to catch a good old fashion beer buzz after work. Until now, that is.
Even scientists have soul! Take a listen to 'Jewel in the Night,' by Colonel Chris Hadfield.
Hey, did you hear the good news? We managed to avoid soaring headlong off the fiscal cliff yesterday. Granted, the House pulled the plug on a bill providing emergency aid to people whose lives were destroyed by Superstorm Sandy to do it. But they did it. Hooray!(?)
It's a major award! Looks like the Library of Congress is in a very Christmas-y mood, as Bob Clark's classic 'A Christmas Story' is one of 25 new films selected for preservation into the National Film Registry. Oh fudge, indeed!
Jump after the break to find out the other 24 titles!
If somebody wants to tender their resignation at a committee meeting, just let them do it. They can find a much larger audience on the internet if you don't.
Well, we really hope the Mayans were wrong. We aren't quite ready for the world to end -- we need to know how 'Breaking Bad' ends. Here are some memes to cheer you up and bolster your confidence that we just might see the sun come up on Saturday after all. Enjoy!
December 21, 2012 It was a little cold this morning, but thank you to everyone who met us in Niagara Square -- Mayor Byron Brown even stopped by!
The banners are all packed up and ready to head off to Newtown, Conn
Paul Simon joined mourners for the funeral of slain Sandy Hook Elementary first grade teacher Victoria Soto on Wednesday (Dec. 19). According to the New York Daily News, the singer picked up his guitar with no introduction and performed 'The Sound of Silence' midway through the memorial service for the 27-year-old, to her gathered family and friends. It was Soto's favorite song. Afterward, he returned to his seat without applause, "just a hushed and reverent silence."
Just days after the terrible tragedy of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, the country, and even the world at large, faces an undeniable need to re-examine the role of gun control on the world stage. As with numerous tragedies in the past, much of the focus shifts to violence in media as depicted across film and television, which today faces one of its first casualties. Discovery has opted to pull the plug on its pro-firearm reality series 'American Guns.' But what will the reaction to the news bring?

No one really seems all that concerned about the world potentially ending tomorrow (December 21), which I guess isn't very surprising considering that doomsday has cried wolf before. And when you think about it, we seem to be putting A-L-O-T-T-T of trust in a group of people that didn't even own iPhones. For all we know, when it came time for the Mayans to make the calendar for the New Year, maybe they were just like, “Screw it, man. We literally have had no meetings scheduled for like, 50 years, who cares what day it is!”
December 19, 2012 Five banners. Let's repeat that again: FIVE BANNERS!!!
In addition to a number of television episodes from the likes of 'Haven' and 'Family Guy,' we weren't surprised to see that Discovery opted not to renew its firearm family series 'American Guns,' given the aftermath and national discourse raging from the terrible Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. Now, it seems another of Discovery's 2nd amendment series - Ted Nugent's 'Gun Country' - has been pulled from the network, but is it a reaction to last week's tragedy?
