If you're a fan of spicy foods then you know how awesome a good hot sauce can be. You can make your own at home using Greek-style yogurt—or the whey from the yogurt to be specific—to kick the fermenting process in to high gear.

Newswire: How I Met Your Mother’s DVD set will have an alternate ending to the finale
Apparently, you’ll be able to opt-out of last week’s controversial How I Met Your Mother series finale with a DVD-only alternate ending. According to Variety, as well as showrunner Carter Bays’ Twitter account, Bays and co-creator Craig Thomas considered two potential endings. One was the version aired Monday night, which revealed that The Mother, played by Cristin Milioti, died young after marrying Josh Radnor’s Ted Mosby, freeing up Ted to pursue his lifelong crush, Robin (Cobie Smulders). Though true to the spirit of the show’s pilot episode, it provoked a lot of outcry—and even some fans to make their own ending.
The DVD’s alternate ending reportedly uses the same footage shown in the finale, but it’s edited to make it something else entirely. Bays and Thomas weren’t forthcoming about what exactly that is; Bays said only that it is “very different.” But ...
Great Job, Internet!: Laura Palmer is dead, but Twin Peaks is alive again on Twitter
When Laura Palmer cryptically told Agent Dale Cooper “I’ll see you again in 25 years” in the final episode of Twin Peaks, she wasn’t talking about Twitter. Or was she? As of March 25, “1989,” a group of Twitter users operating under the banner of Enter The Lodge have taken it upon themselves to give Twin Peaks a third season.
“Twin Peaks Season Three” picks up with the events of Twin Peaks’ series finale, and is told through a series of Twitter conversations between the show’s main characters (with cameos from fan favorites like The Log Lady and FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole). Users can follow the story by subscribing to @EnterTheLodge’s Twitter list, and catch up through daily Storify updates that collect each day’s tweets. A series of cryptic documents that provide insights into the story are also available on Enter The Lodge ...

Leena8137Ryan, thought this blog would interest you. Also, Moby was on The Nerdist, talked a lot about LA and was genuinely hilarious.
i have a lot of favorites when it comes to houses in l.a. having said that, this is one of my favorites. which shouldn’t demean the idea of a ‘favorite’. i mean, isn’t it better to be liberal with labeling things ‘favorites’ rather than stingy with approval and appreciation? or maybe i’m just lazy and i need a better word than favorite.
i want to find out more about this house, but here’s what i know:
- it was built in the 20’s.
- it’s almost completely hidden by vines and trees and plants and more vines.
- the rolling stones stayed here when they were finishing ‘exile on main street’.
- marilyn manson lived here for a while.
- lots of other people have lived here.
- it’s built around a very tall central spiral staircase.
- it probably has a storied (no pun intended) past, but i don’t know anything more than what i’ve written here.
i mean, i assume that in the 20’s and 30’s it was home to odd and debauched early movie stars, but that’s only an assumption on my part. an assumption with empirical support, as almost every house in hollywood has been home to odd and debauched movie stars (including my own, thank you very much).
also i’m continually amazed that overgrown estates like this are literally 3 minutes from grimy crumbly hollywood. all of the odd and interesting stuff in l.a is, to a large extent, hidden.
ok, thanks.

Newswire: HBO is totally cool with you sharing your HBO Go password
HBO—your cable friend who just wants to stay up all night with you, trading swear words and showing you boobs—is apparently as cool about you sharing your HBO Go password as it is about everything else. “It’s not that we’re unmindful of it, it just has no impact on the business,” HBO CEO Richard Plepler says in this video interview for Buzzfeed, in which Plepler doesn’t even wear a necktie. Neckties, after all, are for uptight squares who care about things like subscribers sharing passwords with their friends who aren’t, and Plepler is pretty whatever about that. In fact, he sees it as a smart marketing move that just creates more and more HBO viewers. “We’re in the business of creating addicts,” Plepler said, echoing all the cool drug dealers you know.
Of course, as cool as HBO is, everyone still agrees that it would be a lot ...

Oh Heck Yes: You Can Buy A Dinosaur Skeleton If You’ve Got $640,000 Or So To Spare
Leena8137Brandon?
Please hang on a second while I squeal like a little kid and squirm with joy in my seat: You guys — you can buy a dinosaur skeleton. Like, for real. The only thing is, you probably need some serious dough if you want to bring a Diplodocus home with you in the near future.
The first complete skeleton of a large dinosaur ever to up for sale at auction in Europe is about 56 feet long and calls the wide open land of Wyoming its home, reports CNN. Its name is Misty and she’s (in my head, my dinosaur is definitely a lady but by all means, imagine a male Misty if you like) a Diplodocus Longus from the the Late Jurassic period, dating from around 150 million years ago.
She’s expected to fetch a price of anywhere from $640,000 to $960,000 and you’ll probably need a pal (or an entire crew) to move her from her current spot at the Summers Place Auctions in Billingshurst, England.
“It’s been specially designed so that it can be dissembled and assembled again,” said the exhibition and sale’s curator. “There’s no piece so heavy that two people couldn’t lift it.”
He adds that her bones have been conserved and consolidated so she should last just fine, as long as the skeleton is “reasonably carefully handled and reasonably carefully housed.”
Now all I need is a spot big enough to hang a 56-foot dinosaur and I’ll have the best party conversation starter ever. And also I’ll own a dinosaur.

I Must Have Him: Adventure Time's BMO Made Out Of LEGO With Functional Linux Computer Inside
Leena8137WANT
The loveable BMO (Beemo) living video game console character from Adventure Time made out of lego. This is a fully functional portable Raspberry Pi Linux computer. This means it can do pretty much anything you can think of. Plays video, plays games, surfs the web, and more! Of course it cannot make toast, or skateboard like the real BMO...Sometimes I wish I had a friend like BMO. And by sometimes I mean all the time. I tried to get my PS3 to hang out once but then it ditched me to watch Netflix with my roommate. SO I KILLED THEM. No I didn't, but I did sit in my room sharpening a knife for a long time. "Jesus." Chill out, I don't even have a roommate. ANYMORE. Mwahahahahahaha, don't tell anybody. Keep going for a couple more shots and a video of BMO doing his thing.

Dad Creates Super Mario Themed Bedroom For Daughter
"She wanted to kind of redo her room and [first] she asked if I could make a bat cave," he said. "And then she asked about a Mario room and I said, 'yeah, we can do a Mario room,' and [in the beginning] it certainly wasn't as detailed as it ended up being." While Mario, Bowser and the Gumba on the walls are vinyl decals, Carpenter said he hand-painted everything else, including Boo, the Piranha Plant, the clouds, the pipe and the bricks. And what helps make the room come alive are the various push buttons that play different sounds from the game, such as the "1 Up" sound and the "dum-dum-dum" when Mario goes down a green tube. The light switch - which is designed to look like the vintage Nintendo controller - plays the classic Super Mario Bros. theme song.It's crazy to think that when Super Mario Bros. actually came out, AJ was negative 15 years old. Now I feel like an old geezer. And not just because I'm crotchety and complain about leg and back pain all the time, but that certainly doesn't help. Anybody for bingo tonight? "Please tell me you're joking." Of course I'm joking, now *chugs beer, breaks bottle over head* let's get pickled! "Pickled?" I'm 80, aren't I? Thanks to Lana, Dave S and PYY, who all have under the sea themed bedrooms and sometimes wake up thinking they're drowning.
TV: Great Job, Internet!: There’s something that looks a whole lot like the TARDIS in that newly discovered Van Gogh painting
In case you missed the big news in the art world, a painting in a Norwegian industrialist’s attic was recently verified as a work of Vincent Van Gogh, the first discovery of a new full-sized painting by the Dutch master since 1928. Not everyone is excited about the verified new painting—The Guardian condescendingly expressed horror that Van Gogh painted “Sunflowers” during the same summer. But detail-oriented Doctor Who fans may notice a vaguely familiar figure in the upper-left corner of the painting. Though the piece is titled “Sunset At Montmajour” and the structure in the background is likely Mountmajour Abbey, it still bears a striking resemblance to the TARDIS—a ridiculous coincidence, since the Doctor visited Van Gogh back in a 2010 episode to defeat an alien creature only the painter could see. Much like Christopher Moore’s fantastical novel Sacre Bleu, this opens the door for some ...

Go Halvsies With Me?: NASA Selling Off Its Launchpads
Leena8137Anyone want to build a Perfects' Mansion on an old launch pad?
Originally built in 1967, each 3700 ton pad was officially used at the Kennedy Space Center to not only carry the Apollo moon program's rockets from an assembly area to the launch site, but to also send those rockets into space. The launch pads were later redesigned to accommodate space shuttles and were used regularly until 2010. Note that it's just the pads themselves that are for sale, not the crawler transporters.Whoa whoa whoa -- the auctions don't include the crawler transporters?! But we were going to use those to shuttle people back and forth from the parking lot! "We were?" No, I was going to use one to crush my entire neighborhood like a slow-motion monster truck rally. Thanks to Side Effect, which may include nausea, drunkenness, wishing you hadn't spent $700 on lap dances, and getting swindled by a naked lady painted green named Xaraxe.

TV: Great Job, Internet!: Someone already put together a chronological version of the new Arrested Development episodes
Leena8137Definitely gonna watch it this way after we're through watching on Netflix, maybe it will make a difference?
The new season of Arrested Development has only been live on Netflix for a week, an amount of time perfect for fans to binge watch, collectively shrug at Mitchell Hurwitz's inability to innovate an entirely new narrative style without such archaic requirements as a "watching order," and then re-watch the whole thing again. But it has been an entire week, meaning it’s already time for some intrepid viewer to complete the gargantuan task of picking all 15 episodes apart and re-editing them to fit their liking. Two different Reddit users have set about splicing the new episodes from character-centric stories into a chronological narrative of the Bluth family more akin to the first three seasons. The first user completed a recut 12-episode season that varies wildly in length, from a network-ready 21 minutes for the premiere to a 53-minute "Cinco de Cuatro" finale. It should be noted that ...

MoreApply Now For A Free Trip To Mars If You Don’t Mind Never Coming Back To Earth
Leena8137Someone I know has to do this. Any takers?
We’ve often wished we could ship reality TV stars out to space and never have to deal with their self-important squabbling and petty attempts at fame, but a new, somewhat odd proposition by a nonprofit organization could make that somewhat of a reality. The group of scientists and entrepreneurs at Mars One said it’s opened up the application process for a commercially sponsored one-way mission to Mars as part of a venture that will (sigh) also include a reality TV program.
Mars One (via NPR) says anyone over 18 is eligible to become a Mars astronaut, as long as you don’t mind being part of a reality TV show in the process and paying a $38 application fee. Oh and then you’ll have to live the rest of your life in an inflatable habitat on another planet.
“If somebody’s an outdoors person who says, ‘I need my mountains, I need to smell the flowers,’ then it’s not the mission for him,” says Norbert Kraft, the group’s chief medical officer.
Selling the trip as a TV show is a novel idea, but one that the co-founder thinks will work to finance the mission’s $6 billion price tag.
Here’s how it’ll work: Applicants will be part of the contest online, with people who get the most likes on the site going on to the next round of selection. It’s worth noting there are already quite few pages worth of potential colonists listed on the Mars One site.
Eventually, the process will be on TV, with participants duking it out in multiple countries and only one winning the prize of the one-way ticket in their respective nation. The final round will then be broadcast around the world, with six teams of four competing to go to space by 2023.
The whole thing will last years, something the co-founder sees as working in the plan’s favor as viewers grow to like different applicants.
“That’s why it will stay interesting for a very, very long time,” he says.
Just like the extent of your stay on Mars, should you win. It’ll last a very, very long time.
