Bachelor Food

I like several of the "no preservative" meals by Lean Cuisine. Look for the large portions.

1. Chicken Portabello (12 oz) The flavorful mushrooms and rice make this my #1, and the chocolate cherries are a good touch.
2. Balsamic Glazed Chicken (12 oz) The chicken, rice, veggies and apple crisp are very tasty.
   
3. Lemon Garlic Shrimp (12 oz) Garlic + shrimp == good

Try others if you wish. I also like the Steak Tips Dijon entree.

Make your smile muscles hurt!

Enter the site of Lilly McElroy , choose the area labeled "Performing Videos", then choose the video for "The Square" (hillarious) and "Pushing Cowboys" (funny). My cheeks are aching from laughter. Her other stuff is good too, like "Locations" and photos of her randomly throwing herself at men. (Source: Rocketboom)

The best animated video ever is Pipe Dream. I recommend downloading the largest mpeg (65MB). Visit free-codecs.com if you have trouble with codecs. Do you hear the air leaking in the tubes? Do you see the marks on the wall where balls once missed? I bought the 2 DVDs from Animusic (Source: RocketBoom, IFILM)

Mind Games

Jigsawdoku. Try options Medium 6x6 using the "picture" type tiles. You can use Hints to check a guess, but you should never need to. My fastest is 1:23 1:06 0:51 0:48 0:41 0:38 with no hints.

Kakuro. Scroll down and do the puzzle of the day. To pencil in possible numbers into 1 square, you need to use Space+click. Their lists of permutations are sometimes incomplete, so you might want to download their Kakuro helper.

Websudoku. I prefer Easy if I want to kill a few minutes. Hard can be solved with regular logic. Evil is...evil.

Object Ball Deflection, but not Throw?

Is this for real?
http://www.easypooltutor.com/article239.html
(Note it is 2 pages.) It mentions "object ball deflection", but describes it differently from what we all consider as "contact throw". This guy says 2 polished balls want to squirt away from each other, which is the opposite effect of contact throw. I would normally cut a bit more to account for throw, but this guy says to cut less. Is there any sense to what he says?
