Pepper, the Robot That Reads Your Emotions, Will Be Sold to Consumers

They're staples on every American dining table and the requisite ingredients in virtually every European cuisine, so inseparable that polite society dictates they always be passed together. Salt and pepper are the undisputed champions of condiments—but how did they get so popular? »
The Habanero pepper has a maximum hotness of 350,000 Scoville Heat Units. That's nothing—like eating an Altoid—compared to the mouth-searing Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. It tops out at over two million SHU and has just been named the world's hottest pepper. »
This is The Switch. It's half pepper shaker, half salt shaker, and entirely something I wish I'd thought of years ago. »
This is a cop training video, showing future pepper spray wielders the pain and reality of getting sprayed. But a more sinister interpretation could be that future criminals are growing tolerant to pepper spray so no one can stop them. »
Amateur cooks forget all too often that every single item of food must be properly seasoned. So if you need novelty shakers to motivate you to hit up your eats with some S&P, that's just fine with us. »
These Salt & Pepper cell shakers are kinda backwards; they're stored in cupboards while actual batteries are stored in your fridge. If you were high, that would have blown your mind. »
The Stunning Ring may look harmless, and cheap, but is actually hiding a powerful pepper spray. It uses the strongest formula of pepper spray available—400 times stronger than a jalepeno pepper. Release the safety catch, press the trigger and you get a 12-inch spray that will cause temporary visual impairment,… »
This design from Joel Hesselgren is the most ingenious use of LEGO for food consumption that we've seen since the LEGO dragon soy sauce and mayonnaise dispenser. The white column holds the salt while the black column holds the pepper, and the amount of each is regulated by how many of the holes are covered at once.… »

"Lara Croft Tomb Raider" elevates goofiness to an art form. Here is a movie so monumentally silly, yet so wondrous to look at, that only a churl could find fault.
And please don't tell me it makes no sense. The last thing I want to see is a sensible movie about how the Illuminati will reunite the halves of the severed triangle in order to control time in the ruins of the ancient city that once rose in the meteor crater--if, and it's a big "if," the clue of the All-Seeing Eye inside the hidden clock can be used at the moment of planetary alignment that comes every 5,000 years, and if the Tomb Raiders are not destroyed by the many-armed Vishnu figure and the stone monkeys. The logic is exhausting enough even when it doesn't make sense.
This is, at last, a real popcorn movie. I have been hearing for weeks from fans of "The Mummy Returns" and "Pearl Harbor," offended that I did not like those movies--no, not even as "popcorn movies." I responded that "The Mummy" was a good popcorn movie but "The Mummy Returns" was a bad popcorn movie. It is my job to know these things. That "Pearl Harbor" is even discussed in those terms is depressing.
The plot of "Lara Croft Tomb Raider" exists as a support system for four special effects sequences. Right away you can see that the movie is relatively advanced; "The Mummy Returns" had no plot, and one special effects sequence, which was 121 minutes long.
The film opens with Lara Croft doing desperate battle with a deadly robot, in what turns out to be a homage to the openings of the Pink Panther movies where Clouseau took on Kato. When the dust settles, we learn that she is Lady Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie), daughter of the tomb raider Sir Richard Croft (Jon Voight), whose memorial stone sadly informs us, "Lost in the Field, 1985." Lady Lara lives in a vast country estate with a faithful butler and a private hacker and weapons system designer. Elaborate research-and-development and manufacturing facilities must be tucked away somewhere, but we don't see them.
Lara Croft is a major babe with a great set of ears. She hears a faint ticking under the stairs, demolishes the ancient paneling (with her bare hands, as I recall) and finds an old clock which conceals the All-Seeing Eye. This is the Key to whatever it is the Illuminati plan to do with the lost city, etc., in their plan to control time, etc. Why they want to do this is never explained. A letter from her father is discovered sewn into the binding of an old edition of William Blake; "I knew you would figure out my clues," it says. And a good thing, too, since fate hangs in the balance while she plays his parlor games.
We now visit "Venice, Italy," where the Illuminati gather, and then there is an expedition to the frozen northern land where the ancient city awaits in a Dead Zone inside the crater created by the meteor that brought the Key to Time here to Earth--I think. Machines do not work in the Dead Zone, so Lara and the others have to use dogsleds. It is cold on the tundra, and everyone wears fur-lined parkas. Everyone but Lara, whose light gray designer cape sweeps behind her so that we can admire the tight matching sweater she is wearing, which clings tightly to those parts of her body that can be found a foot below and a little to the front of her great ears.
The inside of the city is an inspired accomplishment in art direction, set design and special effects. A giant clockwork model of the universe revolves slowly above a pool of water, and is protected by great stone figures that no doubt have official names, although I think of them as the Crumbly Creatures, because whenever you hit them with anything, they crumble. They're like the desert army in "The Mummy Returns" and the insect alien soldiers in "Starship Troopers"--they look fearsome, but they explode on contact, just like (come to think of it) targets in a video game.
Angelina Jolie makes a splendid Lara Croft, although to say she does a good job of playing the heroine of a video game is perhaps not the highest compliment. She looks great, is supple and athletic, doesn't overplay, and takes with great seriousness a plot that would have reduced a lesser woman to giggles. In real life she is a good actress. Lara Croft does not emerge as a person with a personality, and the other actors are also ciphers, but the movie wisely confuses us with a plot so impenetrable that we never think about their personalities at all.
Did I enjoy the movie? Yes. Is it up there with the Indiana Jones pictures? No, although its art direction and set design are (especially in the tomb with all the dead roots hanging down like tendrils). Was I filled with suspense? No. Since I had no idea what was going to happen, should happen, shouldn't happen or what it meant if it did happen, I could hardly be expected to care. But did I grin with delight at the absurdity it all? You betcha.

Hi there, a little info about myself. My...
Hi there, a little info about myself. My career gave me opportunity to travel and live around the world on corporate time has created an ongoing adventure. It's funny how life comes around full circle and end up in Ft Lauderdale. My background makes it difficult to boast but friends describe me as well rounded, accomplished, international, eclectic, considerate, private, never take advantage of anyone, give to the poor and charities, and leave a greener foot print whenever possible. I'm not into the bar scene, been there done that. If need be, I can still hang with the best, but prefer good company, an out-of-the-way restaurant and a nice bottle of wine. Born and raised in Toronto Canada, still play hockey, you can say I am all Canadian eh! But with an American Asian twist. I try to be active with at least 1 physical activity per day. I'd rather play than watch. They say I clean up really nice, great believer of elegant simplicity and sometimes less is more, it's quality not quantity. I have concluded that the grass is not greener on the other side, possessions are meaningless without someone special to share with. I am established, grounded, and know the rat race exit is stage left. Time to slow down, enjoy the simpler things in life, sail, travel, and my south Florida home. Everything is on track, would be nice to meet a partner in crime, don't worry just borrowing a cliche. As for relationships, chemistry is important but it takes more and it starts with the basics. They say life is an adventure; it's not the destination, but the journey that makes life interesting. Similar interests is important but wouldn't it be boring if we're all the same. It would be great to start off as friends and see where it goes. Preference is given to though's with good taste, not over processed, limited baggage, interested in boating and sailing. So lets go out and play and get to know each other. Send a wink or an email, a new journey begins with something as simple as a click of the mouse. Have a great day! Thanks for reading my profile:)

Torche Shares New Song
Southeastern quartet Torche today shares new song "Annihilation Affair," which can be heard below thanks to Pitchfork.
The song comes from the band's forthcoming release, "Restarter," due out February 24th via Relapse Records. Bass player and Producer Jonathan Nuñez said of the new album:
"I feel it's strong sonically and harder hitting than the previous record [Harmonicraft]. I'm happy with the last record, but I feel on this record, it's just more solid song to song. You've got to move forward. You can't release the same record over and over."
The previously released "Restarter" track "Minions" can also be heard by heading over to this location. More...

Torche Announces Australian Shows
Torche today reveals the supporting acts for the band's first ever Australian tour coming this October.
Support in Brisbane comes from the mighty Lizzard Wizzard, Queensland's resident purveyors of all things doom. With songs like "Games of Cones" and "Bong Dive," you know what you're in for: gigantic riffs in a smoke-filled haze. Joining them will be Brisbane quartet Indica, which delivers riffs in the spirit of Electric Wizard and Sleep: slow, gargantuan, and tectonic.
In Melbourne, Torche will be joined by the intoxicating stoner trio Child. Dead has also been added to the billing, sporting the recently released single "Dog TV," which packs a lethal dose of anthemic sonic bludgeoning. Finally in Sydney, feast your ears on the controlled frenzy of Lo! and Sumeru.
Thursday October 16 – Crowbar, Brisbane with Lizzard Wizzard and Indica
Saturday October 18 – Corner Hotel, Melbourne with Child and Dead
Sunday October 19 - Oxford Art Factory, Sydney with Lo! and Sumeru More...
Torche Signs To Relapse Records
Torche, the Florida-meets-Georgia quartet whose album "Harmonicraft" was proclaimed "one of the strongest guitar-rock records 2012 will yield" by Alternative Press, has now signed with Relapse Records.
"We're looking forward to working with a label that has stood the test of time while continuing to expand their diverse roster," explained Jonathan Nuñez, adding, "Releasing this record on Relapse lined up pretty well since it contains some of the heaviest songs we've written to date."
The band is currently recording at Pinecrust Studio in Miami with Nunez serving as producer and Converge's Kurt Ballou mixing the album. The as-of-yet untitled album is expected to come this summer.
Torche has also announced a celebratory, post-recording show on February 26th at St. Vitus Bar in New York. More...

Hydra Head Records Closing Its Doors
Aaron Turner of Hydra Head Records has issued the following announcement about deciding to call it a day:
"Hydra Head Records has never been a smooth-running operation. We've spent the majority of our existence excitedly scrambling from one thing to the next, taking on more than we could ever possibly hope to achieve, and never quite finding solid footing in the midst of our self-induced whirlwind of chaos. Though not every second of doing this label has been enjoyable, it has been a very rewarding and meaningful project for me, and I hope for many of the other lives to which it has been directly connected. The fact that it has lasted close to two decades at this point is astonishing, and much has changed during that time - the lives of those directly involved with running the label, the bands and artists we've worked with, and the nature of the music industry itself. Though many of these changes have been positive, or at least illuminating, the impact of our history and current industry circumstances are culminating into a slow and somewhat painful death for the label. It certainly isn't an entirely unforeseen event, but we didn't think it would come quite so abruptly, or (perhaps naively) ever.
"The decision to pull the plug has not been an easy one, and in some ways is a not a choice at all. The simple fact of the matter is we've been running on empty for a while now and cannot afford to keep our doors open for much longer. Years of imbalance between creative ideals and financial realities, personal problems amongst the label operators, an unwillingness to compromise our aesthetic standards, a tendency towards releasing challenging (i.e. unmarketable) artists, and the steady decline of the music industry in general, are amongst the chief reasons for our inability to continue. It is a harsh but undeniable reality, and one which we are attempting to confront with as much integrity and grace as is afforded by the circumstances. More...
Kverlertak Announces U.S. Tour
Norwegian act Kvelertak will return to the U.S. this fall to tour alongside Converge and Torche. Nails, Coalesce and Whips/Chains will perform on select shows as well. The band says:
"Converge brought us out for our first-ever European tour two years ago, so it's a great honor for us that they now are taking us out on our first proper U.S. tour! Not to mention the other bands, that line-up is ridiculous. Needless to say, we're beyond excited!"
The band also announced via Twitter that recording has begun for a new album, stating "First day at Godcity with Kurt Ballou. All I can say is, this album is going to fuck the first album in the ass. Hard."

Black Cobra Announces New Tour Dates

The rampage will begin June 1st and surge clockwise through North America with 18 dates confirmed through June 23rd as of now.

Before that mayhem goes down, Black Cobra is already confirmed for some massive action at SXSW next week. Wednesday will see the 'Cobra coiled on stage at the ToneDeaf Touring showcase, sharing the stage with Saviours, Rwake, A Storm of Light, Zoroaster, and headliners Corrosion Of Conformity. Then on Friday they take the stage at the massive "Death Match" event -- hosted by Thrasher Magazine and Converse, curated by The Power of the Riff, Southern Lord and Brooklyn Vegan -- the monolithic day show featuring OFF!, Trash Talk, Ceremony, Heartless, Code Orange Kids, Deafheaven, Full Of Hell, Balaclava, Dead In The Dirt and headliners High On Fire, of course in addition to Black Cobra's devastating mid-lineup appearance.
