Priorities. Operation Bart.
After BART shut down cell service in response to a protest last week over the death of a man whom BART cops shot, hacktivists Anonymous responded with a protest of their own. The hackers and hundreds of others got together and marched in protest from station to station as police in riot gear ran to responded to the peaceful demonstration.
The UN goes mental when Egypt, Iran, Syria, or any other oppressive regime shuts down cell service. The UN is the first group to rightly oppose this type of action… unless of course the US wants to do it to its own citizens.
As mentioned in the following speech, the first thing BART cops did after shooting man in back? Confiscate video of the shooting.. even before alerting medics.

Patent for a combination sparrow-catcher / cat-feeder
From Futility Closet: Patent #4150505 for a Bird trap and cat feeder, issued on April 24, 1979
Why spend money on cat food when there’s a more immediate solution? Leo Voelker’s 1979 invention simultaneously curbs the local sparrow population and keeps the local cats occupied.The birds enter the housing at the top but can escape only through the mesh cage at the bottom, which serves as a kind of self-serve food dispenser for neighborhood cats.
“The cat feeder by its design is self-cleaning since the cat quickly learns to remove the sparrow from the cage.”

Amazon.com has a great price on 50-packs of whippets right now.
Today I learned that if you really, really, really like whipped cream (and I am not implying that this product can be used for any other purpose), you can buy 50-packs of Whippets for $99,999 on Amazon (Regular price: $28.99). Put me down for three, thanks.
Whip-It! Brand: The original; Reflecting over 60 years of manufacturing expertise. Food grade N2O is used as a propellant for whipping cream, which dissolves in the liquid cream. As the cream is released from the whipper, the gas expands and in doing so whips the cream into foam.

Punchfork Discovers Recipes via Social Network Trending
You can waste all day trying to find the best ratatouille recipe from hundreds of food sites, reading each recipe and hoping for a photo or review to give guidance. Instead, give Punchfork a try; it uses tweets and Facebook likes to rate recipes by popularity from top culinary sites such as 101 Cookbooks, Serious Eats, and The Kitchn.
You can search Punchfork by recipe name or ingredient. Search results include a photo, popularity rating, source web site, and social activity mentioning the recipe. Clicking on the recipe will give you the full ingredients as well as options to share the recipe on your own social networks, but you must follow a link to the originating source for the full recipe.
I like Punchfork. It currently has a few thousand recipes from 35 major and minor culinary sites. My search for ratatouille resulted in 32 recipes, all with glorious photographs, fromratatouille phyllo wraps to Pixar film Ratatouille’s version of ratatouille.

People of Walmart Video Edition
Whoa. You were “horrified”?
Maybe you should spend less time thinking about yourself and more time thinking about showing courtesy to others. Or maybe you should spend a lot more time thinking about yourself and realize you look ridiculous walking around like that in public. The differences between self-confidence and dignity can be subtle, but they exist.
However the story ends on a happy note: She says she’ll “never shop at Walmart again.” That’s one terrible Walmart customer down, millions to go.
By the way, Molly Blancett, you can wear that black bikini top in my Walmart any day. Rawr.

Mexican man captures live fairy
An unemployed 22-year-old bricklayer who claims he found a fairy has caused a commotion in this western Mexican metropolis. Jose Maldonado, who charges a monetary “donation” in exchange for displaying what appears to be a simple plastic figure kept in a container of formaldehyde, says he has already received 3,000 visits from people eager to see the so-called fairy at his home in Lomas Verdes, one of Guadalajara’s poorest and most dangerous neighbourhoods.
“I was picking guavas and I saw a twinkling. I thought it was a firefly. I picked it up and felt that it was moving; when I looked at it I knew that it was a fairy godmother,” Maldonado said. The tale of the fairy that Maldonado claims to have discovered last weekend has run like wildfire through the area and his home is now besieged by the curious, some of whom wait for up to an hour to enter, according to what Efe was able to verify on Thursday.
What Maldonado shows the paying public is a small container filled with formaldehyde containing a humanlike figure about 2 centimetres (0.8 inch) tall, with a gelatinous consistency and a certain resemblance to Peter Pan’s Tinkerbell. Maldonado says that what seems to be just a little plastic figure is a fairy and that it was alive when he found it. And there are those who believe him. “I’ve seen everything and, yes, I believe the fairy is real. Therefore, I wanted to come to confirm that those myths are true,” Cesar Ramirez, one of the visitors, said.
To be allowed to examine the “fairy” for a few seconds and take a photograph of it, the curious must make a donation to financially help out Maldonado, who recently lost his job. His neighbours have also taken advantage of the situation to sell photographs and keyrings with the image of the fairy for about 20 pesos ($1.60), as well as refreshments including drinks and food to those people while they wait in line outside Maldonado’s house.
