Weekend Round-Up Eating Your In-Flight Coffee Cup, How To Score A Movie, And The Playstation Hive Mind September means a lot of things. The muggy New York summer is winding down. Watchmakers are coming back from their summer holidays. And it’s new Apple Watch time. This is now the fifth year that I’ve made the annual pilgrimage out to Silicon Valley to be a part of the gaggle of reporters literally tripping over one another to be first to get their hands on Apple’s latest and greatest. For me though, the best part of this is the opportunity to check in and see how Apple is thinking about the Watch. It’s important to remember that while Apple Watch is now five years old, it’s still a relatively young product and one that’s still maturing at a relatively quick clip. Each year doesn’t just mean a faster chip set or more battery life – it means a reimagining of the scope and purpose of the Apple Watch and the way it can fit into customers’ lives. That’s something worth getting excited about.  Because last year’s Apple Watch Series 4 was such a massive leap forward, consensus before last week’s event was that this year’s rel...

Registered in England and Wales. Number 8860726. The Bulb Eater 3 lamp crusher from Aircycle Corp., Lisle, Ill., can safely dispose of straight fluorescent lamps of any length, as well as U-shaped bulbs and CFLs (with optional chute attachment), reducing them to little more than dust. The device mounts to a 55-gallon drum and can hold up to 1,350 crushed 4-ft lamps. A vacuum subsystem pulls in bulbs and keeps dust inside the drum. A motor spins an assembly with three strands of chain that whip around and turn incoming lamps to dust. A series of five filters, including a HEPA filter and a carbon filter that actively neutralizes the mercury, prevent 99.99% of the mercury vapor from being released. Sensors detect when filters need to be changed and alert users with LED readouts. Users can hire the manufacturer to pick up full drums (at a discounted rate) to safely dispose and recycle the waste material. The Bulb Eater provides several benefits. Lamp users need no longer store spent bulbs in boxes. This...

A Texas man and woman are accused of money laundering and trying to smuggle thousands of dollars into Mexico after deputies said they found cash bundled in aluminum foil to look like tamales or tacos, KIII-TV reported. Lori Salazar, 54, and her son, Daniel Salazar, 34, both of Houston, were stopped Late Monday in Riviera, KTRK reported. After Kleberg County deputies observed the pair “acting strange,” authorities searched their minivan and found $211,000 contained in tamale wrappers, the television station reported.

The technical mastery of Annie Lapin’s paintings is like that of a juggler who can simultaneously toss balls, bowling pins, flaming torches, and a chainsaw. LOS ANGELES — Strange Little Beast, Annie Lapin’s first exhibition at Shulamit Nazarian, hints at the artist’s ability — and perhaps desire — to paint like an Old Master, but it also indicates an understanding that she cannot live in the past. Lapin’s canvases reveal her wrestling match with post-digital aesthetics as she combines computerized tools with older rendering styles in an effort to paint for her own era. “The On In Outs (heap 5)” (all works 2019) exemplifies Lapin’s facility in constructing an image in multiple conflicting idioms. The lower half of the painting predominantly features the forelegs and fleece of a goat. Drawing on Renaissance techniques, representational elements are conveyed using loose brushwork to precise effect. Where the goat’s chest should be is instead the (headless) bust of a figure in formal, three-quarter pose, painted with post-impressionist brushwork. A horizontal strip depicting a landscape just above the painting’s midline is also painted in a post-impressionist style, while a stratum ...

Summer was brutally hot and dry across much of the South and parts of the Midwest, especially in September and the first week of October. This is what the upper air pattern typically looked like in late summer, posted by Dr. Alicia Bentley of SUNY Albany. The extremes were more extreme than usual and, in quite a few places, record-breaking heat gripped cities and regions day after day. For example, Atlanta (with its nickname Hot-lanta) broke many records in late summer. Record highs occurred for six consecutive days and the city suffered more than 90 days in which the high temperature exceeded 90 degrees, an all-time record. (Buffalo had one 90-degree day.) On Oct. 3, North Carolina State Climatologist Dr. Kathie Dello, who grew up in Western New York, reported Raleigh-Durham hit 100 degrees. Almost needless to say, it’s unusual for the hottest day of the warm-weather season to occur in October. In the southeast alone, 11 cities reached 100 or higher for the first time in October. Tuscaloosa, Ala., did it for three consecutive days to start the month. Since the mean warming climate is irrefutable and has been for decades, you might think the climate connection here is crystal cl...

It sometimes happens that one of my columns will spark lots of questions from readers, as was the case with a past column on dryer venting. Judging from the questions I’ve received, there’s apparently a lot of confusion and misconceptions about the subject of dryer venting, and a lot of people are struggling with misinformation that they’ve been gathering from friends, the Internet or other sources. Misconception No. 1: It’s OK to vent the dryer directly into the house, so that the air can be used as either a source of humidity or a source of heat. Definitely NOT! As the clothes dry, moisture is being removed and vented out of the dryer, which is why it’s so important that clothes dryers be vented all the way to the outside of the house. If not, you’ll be pumping a tremendous amount of warm, moist air directly into your home, which is a perfect recipe for creating mold growth, as well as potentially doing a lot of structural damage. That air also carries with it a lot of fine lint particles. That’s not something you want to be breathing, and in high-enough concentrations the lint is highly flammable. Misconception No. 2: For dryers that are located in a place where venting to t...

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Usually an inch or two of snow isn’t enough to cause problems; but when it comes to plowing it, timing is everything. “It came in right during the rush hour so we had more traffic out there,” MnDOT spokesperson Anne Meyer says that slowed everything down, including plows, so their routes took longer.  The wind also didn’t help, but crews did have a window of golden opportunity Monday afternoon to lay down salt before it got too cold. “We’re trying to get some of that material onto the roads now when the temperatures are still working our way. At 15 degrees or lower is when we start to see salt and other materials don’t work as well in those cold temperatures,” Meyer said. Plow drivers laid down both salt and salt brine to attack the snow on two fronts, breaking up the snow and ice for the evening commute so the drive home wouldn’t be as bad. That could change overnight, though, with temps dipping down to zero. “Some of what we’re melting off with the salt may start to refreeze again. So, we’re keeping an eye on all those elements,” Meyer said. One to two inches of snow in the me...

In December, it is only to be expected that our favourite stores will be decked out in some pretty atrocious Christmas attire.  But Walmart in Canada may have gone too far (or just far enough), releasing a Christmas sweater which features Santa Claus doing lines of cocaine.  If the image of the ugly sweater doesn’t tell a thousand words, then the product description on Walmart Canada’s website sure does:  “We all know how snow works. It’s white, powdery and the best snow comes straight from South America. That’s bad news for jolly old St Nick, who lives far away in the North Pole. That’s why Santa really likes to savour the moment when he get his hands on some quality, grade A, Colombian snow.” After the sweater caused quite a stir, Walmart apologised and had the product taken down from the company’s website. A spokesman for the retail giant said:  0.4mm Stainless Steel Wire “These sweaters, sold by a third-party seller on Walmart.ca, do not represent Walmart’s values and have no place on our website. We have removed these products from our marketplace. We apologise for any unintended offence this may have caused.” The Walmart site was selling a range of naughty  sweaters includ...

Of all the components that can affect the character of a bike, wheels arguably have the best ability to make or break the way a bike rides. The best road bike wheels can all but transform your ride from sluggish and difficult to lively and exciting. A light and stiff (but not too stiff) wheel will make your bike feel like it’s gliding up a climb, help you effortlessly hold speed along the flats, and also improve steering accuracy.
