Anti-Gay vilolence on the Rise in S. Florida
The second attack in less than a week has southern Florida residence worried. The first, a murder of a 17 year old trans gendered individual, Simmie Williams Junior, on a city street. Most recently, a man was attacked outside a 24 hour diner following a meal with his partner and a friend. The assailant noticed the victim eating on the patio and said, "Were you looking at me, if you were, I'm going to come back there and break your neck." The three were obviously spooked, so they paid their bill and headed to their car. Their car was close to the attackers. He grabbed Melbourne Brunner and started beating him. He managed to escape into his car. They tried to get the attacker's license plate number, but the attacker put his t-shirt over it and said, "I'll kill you before you get my tag number!"
All this as gays are facing an attack on a legal basis. The Florida GOP is funding and anti-gay amendment to the state constitution. Local activists argue that the hate speech coming from the GOP legitimizes anti-gay violence in homophobic minds. The second attack in less than a week has southern Florida residence worried.

Food 2.0: Chefs as Chemists
"In September, talking to an audience of chefs from around the world, Wylie Dufresne of WD-50 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan waxed enthusiastic about a type of ingredient he has been adding to his restaurants dishes.
Not organic Waygu beef or newfound exotic spices or eye of newt and toe of frog, but hydrocolloid gums obscure starches and proteins usually relegated to the lower reaches of ingredient labels on products like Twinkies. These substances are helping Mr. Dufresne make eye-opening (and critically acclaimed) creations like fried mayonnaise and a foie gras that can be tied into a knot."
OK, first of all, Waygu beef is delicious. Second, after reading about all these crazy, artificial things in crappy food (like fast food and the like), is this really what I want out of some fancy, swanky restaurant?
