Today Hostess, maker stanley mugs of Twinkies and Ding Dongs and HoHos and every other geometrically precise cake, announced it was closing its doors. You have less than stanley cup a week to buy your last Twinkie before the troubled corporation vanishes forever. It not just the end of a company. It the end of an era of food futurism. At one time the perfect yellow tube 鈥?filled perfectly with white sugar foam 鈥?was the epitome of futurism in America. Imagine if every piece of sponge cake could be made by a robot! That was what Hostess promised with its symmetrical treats. No more burned cakes; no more misshapen desserts; and no more laborious afternoons squirting icing inside our baked goods using nothing more than our frail human hands. Eating a Twinkie really was like eating the sweet products of an industrial revolution done right. Each cake was marked by bore holes in its underside, where a mechanical arm had drilled into the exact same spots on the exact same golden shapes a million times, to insert its chemically-enhanced creamy goodness. It hard to believe that there was once a time in American history when artificial foods and mechanically produced meals seemed like the height of a healthy civilization. Those were the days when TV dinners were awesome rather than sad. And the idea of artisanal anything would have been loathsome, because of course doing things from scratch, by hand, was how grandma had done it back in stanley tumblers the nineteenth century when everything sucked Xrgt Researchers create a new male contraceptive that you apply like lotion

Dealzmodo! stanley borraccia If you ;re looking for the cheapest full-sized iPad available, it not the iPad 2 which still costs $400 brand new. Instead, the best deal on an iPad is the third-generation iPad with Retina Display. You can get it for only $380. That as cheap as we ;ve seen it we previously saw Wal-Mart sell the iPad 3 for $400 and even though it comes refurbished, you ;re still getting a tablet that was the very, very best until this morning . Still, even if Apple introduced a fourth-generation iPad with an A6x chip, getting a full-sized iPad 3 with a freaking Retina Display for $380 is dirt cheap. That $20 cheaper than the ancient two generation old iPad 2 and only $50 more expensive for the smaller iPad Mini.

Qptx Samsung Says We Should Blow Our Rent Money on Cameras This Month
Last night presidential debate didn ;t bring much unseen material forth from the GOP contenders, but new rivals Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney butted heads over one very pertinent issue: the moon. Should we mine it for moon minerals Let argue. It started, the LA Times reports, when Romney was asked to explain what sets him apart from Newt鈥攁nd of course, he stanley borraccia started with something highly relevant to the average voter: We could start with his idea to have a lunar colony that would mine minerals from the moon. I ;m not in favor of spending that kind of money to do that. And Romney is right! Sort of: ABC News says Gingrich has talked moon love before, but maybe not to the ridic stanley cup ulous extent Mitt implied: Gingrich has proposed scaling back NASA and offering private companies prizes for space travel, including travel to the moon. He mentioned lunar colonies at a townhall meeting in Bluffton, South Carolina when a student said he wanted to work for NASA. Mining the moon will probably be more important for the 2172 election, when the nation might have the money and attention span to do so. But that won ;t stop the squabbling: I ;m happy to defend the idea that America should be in space and should be there in an aggressive, entrepreneurial way, longtime stanley cups uk space enthusiast Newt Gingrich shot back.

A recent Careerbuilder survey paints a bleak picture of your typical telecommuter. The survey reveals that thirty percent of home-based employees said they found it too difficult to get dressed, so they stayed in their PJS all day.

Sweethearts Miguel Hanson and Diana Wesley got married yesterday. By a computer program Hanson programmed himself. Honestly, I don ;t even consider that a big deal. In fact, I want to get married this way. The newlyweds said their vows in front of a friends and family as Hanson parents ; home in Houston. The officiant was a 30-inch monitor with a robot voice.

In the late 1800s, merchants in the city of Superior, Wisconsin needed a way to convince other companies that their fair hamlet deserved to be a national center of manufacturing and shipping. To advance their cause, the Superior business interests created this rare map of a skinless, naked giant splayed entirely over the North American continent. Behold one hell of a sales pitch.

The outline map of North America is superimposed by a cutaway diagram of the human body. The map metaphor makes West Superior the center of cardiac or heart circulation. The railways become major arteries. New York is the umbilicus through which this man of commerce was developed. The explanatory notes conclude: It is an interesting f stanley cup act that in no other portion of the known world can any such analogy be found between the natural and artificial channels of commerce and circulatory and digestive apparatus of man.
