MARTY FRIEDMAN сообщил о том, что долгожданная документальная лента о нём — "Spacefox" (первоначально называвшаяся "Hebi Metal San"), режиссёром которой является Jeremy Frindel, выйдет в следующем году:

«Я закончил документалку, она в работе, нужно всё смонтировать и добавить кое-какие съёмки. Мы думали о том, чтобы добавить фрагменты с моего выступления на Tokyo Marathon, но этого не случилось по понятным причинам.

Документальные фильмы могут порой занимать огромное количество времени. Но я видел основу, и всё довольно весело. И надеюсь, что она будет выпущена в следующем году. Но как знать — пока никакой конкретной даты нет. Но материал я видел, и видел черновой монтаж. И надеюсь, что после того, как будет добавлено кое-что новое, мы сделаем и яркий финал. Но это же не закончившаяся история, так что чем заканчивать? Но думаю, что всё будет выпущено в следующем году». #Marty_Friedman #MartyFriedman #HardRock #Hard_Rock #SymphonicRock #Symphonic_Rock #InstrumentalMetal #Instrumental_Metal #HeavyMetal #Heavy_Metal #IndustrialMetal #Industrial_Metal

If you've only ever had refried beans from a can, this should be the next recipe you cook. Homemade refried beans are a game-changer. Use just the right amount of olive oil to cook well-minced onions along with the beans and plenty of their broth. Smoked paprika adds a hint of smoky depth you can't quite put a finger on, my secret ingredient is a finishing splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice. I think it's the element that helps keep the beans from seeming too heavy, and the acidity counters the starchiness of the beans.

Started out as Friday but became a Monday and thus the weekend became confusing. I baked a flourless cake and wept over a Sunday dinner  that felt more like Tuesday’s leftovers, like the whole leftover menu from the whole week. Why do we bother naming the days anyway — it reminds us we once had […]

This is a paper produced as part of the PROP2 (Practitioner Research: Outcomes and Partnership) programme, a partnership between the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (CRFR) at the University of Edinburgh and IRISS that was about health and social care in Scotland. This paper was written by Raymond Brennan from ENABLE Scotland who participated in the PROP2 programme. This research is an attempt to understand the difficulties people with learning disabilities face around friendships and relationships. Recent evidence produced in the ‘Keys to Life’ highlights the impact social isolation has on people with learning disabilities. This research is concerned with the experiences parents and children have when choosing their options of schooling, and if the ‘Circle of Friends’ approach would make the option of mainstream school less daunting.

Just two dudes completely roasting the hell out of each other in a distinctively non-PC way. The back and forth here is what makes it. Sorta like this facebook thread that answered funny questions black people had about white people, it's good to see online conversations like this that don't spiral out of control.
