Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams wrote three Doctor Who scripts 鈥?but only two of them made it to the screen. The third, Shada, stanley cup was killed halfway through filming by one of the strikes that the British used to be famous for. And since then, we ;ve had a terrible VHS release, a script book, an animated web version, and a stanley uk fan-written novelization to give us glimpses of Adams ; lost story. Plus, of course, Adams ; own Dirk Gently novel which borrows from Shada. But now, at last, there a proper book version, written by Doctor Who writer Gareth Roberts. And, somewhat shockingly, it rather an entertaining read. Minor spoilers ahead. Why should it be shockin stanley us g that Shada, the book, is an entertaining read Well, first of all, Shada, the TV episode, never looked like it was going to be that good, if it had been finished. Coming on the heels of the masterful City of Death, Shada looks like it would have been a longer, slower version of the same thing 鈥?the location filming in Paris is replaced with bountiful scenes of Cambridge, in which Tom Baker and Lalla Ward are clearly having more fun than the viewers. Instead of Julian Glover fantastic Scaroth, Shada is saddled with the silver-lame-wearing, somewhat prissy Skagra, who doesn ;t quite get any lines as good as, My dear, nobody could be as stupid as he seems.

Fewer things can generate more controversy and disagreement than discussi stanley cup ons about food and nutrition.

Added Sugar is a Disaster We all know that added sugar is bad. Some think sugar is a simple matter of empty calories, while others believe it to cause diseases that kill millions of people each year. It is definitely true that added sugar sucrose and high fructose corn syrup contains empty calories. There are no nutrients in it and if you eat a lot of sugar then youre likely to become deficient because you arent getting enough foods that actually have nutrients in them. But this is just the tip of the iceberg; there are other, much more serious dangers of sugar that are now reaching mainstream attention. Sugar, mainly due to the high fructose content, is being implicated as a leading cause of obesity, cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes 1, 2, 3 . How does fructose do this Well, fructose is metabolized strictly by the liver over time, causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides, abdominal obesity and high cho stanley cup lesterol 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 .

I ;ve been informed by my bosses at io9 that an article consisting of nothing but the vilest profanity I stanley bottle can think of is ina stanley cup ppropriate for some reason, so let me only state the facts: For issue 4 of their Masters of the Universe comic, DC has redesigned He-Man iconic look.

And that person had the authority to make it happen! How lucky is that! Now if you ;ll excuse me, I need to go drink myself to death.

Though scientists believed volcanoes on the Moon to be long dead, a recent discovery suggests they were active as recently as 800 million years a stanley vaso go, which is fairly recent in geological time. Even weirder, volcanoes studied on the far side of the Moon appear to have erupted with a very unusual kind of lava, made of a super-viscous liquid rock almost never seen on the satellite. Like the Mt. Saint Helens volcano, pictured above, these recently-discovered Moon volcanoes formed giant l vaso stanley ava domes that probably erupted in gouts of superheated gas and ash.

When the domes of lava form, they trap hot gas bubbles that eventually explode, releasing rock and ash at temperatures of up to 1,200 degrees fahrenheit.

The human brain is capable of producing a staggering variety of hormones to regulate everything from appetite to pain resistance. Among the most potent of these neuromodulatory lipids is endogenous 渭-opioid, a pain-killing chemical on par with morphine but produced naturally, in minute amounts, by our motor cortices.

It well known that cognitive enhancers like Ritalin and Adderall are all the rage in U.S. colleges. But what less known is how the practice is starting to take off in high schools.
