What Is the Cyrillic Alphabet?

The Cyrillic alphabet is a family of alphabets used for a variety of Slavic languages and some non-Slavic languages, including nearly all languages of the former Soviet Union.

Pedocouture: In Vogue magazine, 6-year-olds are sex vixens

Lemme spell that for you: s-i-x! I'm a big Tom Ford fan. Or, well, was. Artistic freedom and everything, and no, this shouldn't be made illegal—but I believe this is Totally Not Cool. More at NY Mag, Stylelist, and Gawker has scans of the whole photo spread. (thanks, Tara McGinley)...

Bamboo Toast Tongs

My wife brought home a pair of bamboo toast tongs from a "Pampered Chef" housewares party, and I've been surprised at how useful they are. We have a standard toaster, and also make homemade bread in small pans. I hadn't realized how many times I'd been burning myself on the toaster or what a hassle removing smaller slices had been until I started using these.

You're the Boss: You're Really in the Restaurant Business Now

He is right. I am deep into the business now. And up to my eyeballs in people. That’s people with a capital P. That’s what I keep coming around to, bumping into, knocking up against — people. Like an explorer with short-term memory loss, I keep rediscovering, again and again, that the future of the restaurant rests upon the shoulders and psyches of the people who work here. Not on the fish. Not on sweet potatoes. Not design, not prices, wine, music, menu, advertising, economy or weather. Those have all been mapped out, more or less. People, however, are anything but fixed. Or fixable. People get sick. People fall in love. People get new jobs, new lusts, new addictions. People get hurt feelings. People get big eyes, or big heads, or big ideas. People get religion. People lose their religion. People move on. God bless.

Donuts, genocide, and the American dream

Most visitors to Los Angeles and the west coast are struck by the number of donut shops, but few know that the vast majority of local donut shops are owned by Cambodian refugees who fled the killing fields of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge. This is also the case in many other parts of the west. Through an interesting set of circumstances, Cambodian families got a foothold in the market, then helped other families through traditional loan systems and sharing of knowledge so they could earn their own piece of the American dream. These are people who have experienced unspeakable atrocities in their immediate families, and bust their asses (often 364+ days a year) to make a better life for their children in North America. So go enjoy a decadent donut sometime soon, and be extra friendly to the remarkable people who make these deceptively quotidian treats. The best documentary on the subject is Cambodian Doughnut Dreams , although the hygiene-averse dude in The Darkside of Donuts teaser trailer best articulates my own relationship with that quintessential American delight.

What Are Shepherd Moons?

Shepherd moons are moons which literally shepherd the contents of a planetary ring, giving it a crisper edge and more definition. The presence of such satellites was suggested by researchers in the 1970s who were struggling to understand planetary rings and the variations in size, gaps, and structure which could be seen in high resolution photographs. Saturn, a planet famous for its ring, has several shepherd moons, and upon...

So yeah, i know alot about Halo and am a Tactician, meaning i rely more on tricking my enemies rather than beating the hell out of them, though i will beat them senseless if forced to, or if i really want to! XD

The nightmare queue to enter CES:Unveiled

The first big event at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas is CES: Unveiled, a press event designed to show off some of the year's best new items. In practice, it's often a bit of a letdown (Gizmodo's Brian Lam found this year's thin pickings engendered a sense of "crippling cynicism") because the best stuff is announced the next day at individual press conferences. But that doesn't stop the attending hordes forming a queue hours before the doors are set to open!

The cutest Mame cabinet you ever did see

Ever built your own Mame cabinet? Owning and anachrofitting an old Jamma box is great fun -- as is the satisfaction of being able to answer the question "What arcade game is that?" by saying "Every one of them!" But it gets old: the huge, 300 pound cabinet; the heavy TV screen or monitor crudely mounted within; and the noisy old PC lurking inside, gobbling energy like a broken fridge.

Make mine Kolache

My experience of kolaches, the crazy delicious doughnut-like pastries brought to the central US by Slavic immigrants, is limited to a couple of places in Fredericksburg, TX. But there doesn't appear to be a single thing wrong with Kolache Kitchen in Oklahoma City, which Erin Meister of Serious Eats recently visited. Meister accurately points out that the genius of the kolache is its bready base, which approximates that of a dinner roll. What gets slathered on top or baked into the middle can be either sweet or savory -- Meister likes Kolache Kitchen's apricot/sweet cheese, cinnamon/apple and poppy seed versions, because what person in their right mind wouldn't. The result, especially when consumed fresh from the oven after a long day's drive, can be life-changing. Kolache Kitchen also serves lunch, apparently, but you have to wonder why. (Photo by Erin Meister for Serious Eats.)

Weather.com Text Alerts

I used to be a weather idiot. When it was going to rain, I usually found out by getting wet or by seeing everyone else holding an umbrella or rain coat on public transportation. I wanted something that informed me when it was going to rain (but not something that I had to look for). I wondered if there was a text message alert system for when it rained.

The design misery of stickers

The IdeaPad U260 is, in the words of Lenovo's Stephen Miller, "modeled on a leather journal." It's a gorgeous machine, cast in a bronze-like metal and complete with a leathery texture where the palms rest. It weighs 3 pounds and has a 12.5" display, making it lighter than recent ultraportables like the 13" MBA, even though it runs a relatively powerful i5 CPU. Nice.

Lenovo's ThinkPad x120e succeeds the x100e, its entry in the 11" super-netbook category that took off last year. I just played with it a little and am quite impressed, especially given its $399 price tag. But what I really want is to get my paws on a better-specced model.

SPECIAL FEATURE: The Price of Everything

According to Eduardo Porter of The New York Times editorial board, prices are more interesting than most of us realize. And the prices that never appear on a price tag are the most fascinating of all. In his new book THE PRICE OF EVERYTHING: SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF WHY WE PAY WHAT WE DO, Porter explores the surprising ways prices affect every aspect of our lives, including where we live, who we marry, how many kids we have, and even how religious we are.
