Bridgestone says its groundbreaking new prototype airless tire never goes flat. It is made of a recyclable plastic resin weaved into a mesh of spokes to support the tread of the tire. The flexible design plays a key part in assuring the tire does not collapse – performing the function air pressure does in regular tires. According to Bridgestone, the ‘non-pneumatic’ tire is at an early stage of development but should eventually be available in retail vehicles.” w/ photo

I did a good bit of searching online, and even in my personal stash of candy cookbooks, nada. I became obsessed with the idea of a red wine pop, and my mission soon became clear: get in the SB test kitchen and fill this terrible void in the confectionery world!… A while later the correct synapse fired in my brain, and the answer was simple: make a red wine reduction. This gave the lollipops big-time flavor and a beautiful color.” w/ photos

“Last year American voice-over artist Ted Williams became a national sensation when he was discovered in a state of bewildered homelessness… Williams’ very human story of struggle and redemption is still playing out, although in a lower key. Since his brief stint with national fame, Ted Williams has privately suffered a relapse and a recovery and is now working on a new project with NECN as their official ‘Voice’.
