The first option is to take a Dremel tool and carve a grove in a flat head bit so the prongs of the bit can grip the screw head. The second is to take a cheap pen you don’t use anymore and heat the end with a lighter and press it into the hole once the tip is thick but not liquid. While blowing air with your mouth might work on occasion, the moisture from your breath will eventually ruin the cartridge....
There is some evidence that shows apple cider vinegar slows the rate at which food leaves your stomach—AKA, you’re literally fuller for longer.

Identification has become one of the great public annoyances of New York. To non-Americans, showing identification may not sound like a big deal. But we Americans pride ourselves on free movement. Alas, thanks to guys with the “Allied Security” patches, the fake badges and the low hourly wages, the expression, “Lemme see some ID” has replaced “Go to hell!” as the most commonly heard words in Manhattan. I, for one, am fighting back against the incursions of what I call the Security Guard State....
The bell for round two is due to go off this week with another set of congressional hearings. They will feature Ron Fitzsimmons, until recently a relatively obscure figure in the abortion controversy. As executive director of the National Association of Abortion Providers, Fitzsimmons, who opposes the ban, represents more than 200 clinics. Last month a reporter for American Medical News, a weekly newspaper published by the American Medical Association, interviewed him about the proposed congressional ban....
Any Given Sunday Warner Bros. (4 stars) The matchup of Oliver Stone and pro football makes a not-so-surprisingly good fit: after all, Vince Lombardi often compared football to war, and war is Stone’s favorite cinematic turf. Stone hurls the audience onto the field, surrounding us with the most bone-crunching, earth-shaking game of football ever put on film. The Miami Sharks–coached by veteran Tony D’Amato (Al Pacino)–lose two quarterbacks to injury, opening the way for third stringer Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx) to take his shot at glory....
While Wu’s place in the race is new, the Ketchup account isn’t. @KetchupforWu has been on Twitter since July, but now it has a new mission: to let the world know that Ketchup bottles everywhere want to see Wu leading Boston. If Wu won the election for mayor, it would be historic. In Boston’s history, they’ve yet to elect a woman, or a person of color, for the position. Twitter users reminded fellow Americans that Boston is known for electing white men into leadership positions, and many welcomed Wu to the race with hope for a diverse future....
Most gardeners, when they get to the typewriter, are either practical-minded (how-to books) or deliriously lyrical. Pollan, who has read his share of this stuff, points out that even the best (Eleanor Perenyi, Henry Mitchell, Vita Sackville-West) get so wrapped up in their subject that they can’t stop long enough to tell you what their gardens look like. Perhaps because he’s only been at it seriously for about seven years, Pollan can still remember that there are readers of intelligence and curiosity whose gardening habits amount to no more than a stroll through the yard every month or so to see what’s died....
Greg Kinnear plays the gratingly optimistic dad of the Hoover clan, a motivational speaker with a 9-step program for success that nobody seems to want. Toni Collette is the mom, desperate to keep her fractured clan together. This is not easy when your son (Paul Dano), an en-raged, alienated Nietzsche-reading teenager, has taken a vow of total silence, and your brother (Steve Carell), a suicidal Proust scholar, has just been let out of the hospital after his boyfriend jilted him....
Especially since Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Maus” in 1986, cartoons have been headed for this. This month, the sobersided Yale University Press is releasing “An Anthology of Graphic Fiction,” edited by cartoonist Ivan Brunetti, drawing on a century of comics, from usual suspects Spiegelman and Robert Crumb to such rarities as a 1919 novel in woodcuts. Also this month, Norton will publish “Will Eisner’s New York,” a compilation of the influential artist’s graphic (no, not in that sense) love letters to the city....
Aimee Hernandez, the owner of Chick-fil-A Robinson in the Pittsburgh suburb of North Fayette, spoke with Newsweek about her decision to treat her employees to a holiday drawing on December 5 that featured big-ticket items. “Each Christmas party, I used to do a white elephant exchange for everybody where I would buy all the presents and wrap them all, and they would get numbers and then fight over the gifts,” Hernandez, who has owned the chicken-based fast food store for six years, said....
The understated elegance of such projects is attracting a serious clientele, the kind of patrons who wouldn’t be caught dead with a logo on their shirts—so why would they call undue attention to their houses, offices or art galleries? They’re drawn to architecture that’s less about the object—the thingness of a building—and more about the experience of space. Avant-garde critics might call such designers and their patrons timid, but they tend to be the opposite: assured and confident in their desire for something subtle....
But the truth about the colors is more complicated than its defenders let on. Since Appomattox, the battle flag was incorporated into state flags or flown at times of white resistance to black advances: the standard was often raised not in memory of the war dead but in aid of Jim Crow. It started in Mississippi. In the 1890s, the state both legalized segregation and incorporated the battle emblem into the state flag....
In images circulated on social media, students of the Bhagat Pre-University College in Haveri were sitting at their desks during a chemistry midterm with what appeared to be cardboard cartons on their heads. As India’s News 18 noted, the images surfaced after college staff member Sateesh Herur posted them on his Facebook account the day of the test. Herur reportedly captioned the pictures: “It’s our college midterm exam today. That is Bhagat PU College, Haveri....
Now, in Jones v. Florida, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the constitutionality of their decision. Amendment 4 provides for the automatic restoration of voting rights to felons “upon completion of all terms of sentence, including parole or probation” (emphasis added). In order to implement the amendment, the Florida legislature passed Senate Bill 7066, which defined the completion of one’s sentence as “any portion of a sentence contained in the sentencing document, including imprisonment, probation, restitution, fines, fees and costs....
Wishlisted said it wanted a “jolly” person to apply for the role that would have them search for the best cup of cocoa. The company dedicates itself to finding the best products, services and tips in the aim of helping improve its readers’ lifestyles. Its team said in an advert looking for the cocoa tester: “The pièce de résistance on a cozy winter night in…a steaming cup of hot cocoa....
The worst problem is the music, a generic and wholly forgettable score by the venerable Jule Styne, 87, who admits recycling some old material here. (Too bad he cribbed from “Look to the Lilies” instead of, say “Gypsy.”) Next worst is the story, which follows too closely the 1948 film. Forced to choose between ballet, in the person of Lermontov, and love, in the form of Julian, Vicky commits suicide....
The really worrisome part isn’t the shooting war. It’s the long, hard strategic struggle for Iraq’s hearts and minds. The whole idea of a peaceful transfer of power depends on winning the public’s support and cooperation. To see how that job is going, just look at the breathtaking disintegration of Iraq’s reconstituted security forces. Before the uprising, America had spent roughly $1 billion to recruit, equip and train some 100,000 Iraqi police, soldiers and civil-defense personnel....

A lot of people inside and outside Haiti would firmly disagree. The younger Duvalier left the country amid allegations of abject corruption and human-rights violations committed during his 15-year rule. No self-respecting politician in Haiti today professes any allegiance to him, and the Bush administration doesn’t want him to come back any time soon. “We would view the return of Jean-Claude Duvalier as a negative development for Haiti and the region,” said a U....
