...also misleading to imply that companies aren't hiring. They are - about 4 million workers a month. There is always a lot of churn in the American labor market and that doesn't stop during a recession. (We don't particularly feel the hiring right now because companies are letting workers go at a higher rate.) In a best-case scenario - if using tax dollars to subsidize corporate hiring works exactly as it should - we'd wind up paying for 4 million hires a month that we would have otherwise gotten for free...
...newfangled appliance still wasn't easy enough. Enter the Dorsa brothers, Frank, Tony and Sam, who in the mid-1930s created a dry waffle batter that only needed one ingredient: milk. When demand spread beyond their hometown of San Jose, Calif., Frank invented a carousel-like contraption that could churn out thousands of waffles in an hour, which could then be frozen and shipped. Kellogg bought the company in 1970 and introduced the catchy slogan "Leggo My Eggo" in 1972 - the same year a coach at the University of Oregon revolutionized athletic shoes by using a waffle iron to create...
...coast of the Spanish port of Cartagena, hundreds of seagulls swarm the same patch of water six days a week, waiting for a boat to arrive and uncoil a long, plastic tube into the water.

This is a tuna ranch, a method that started in the Mediterranean in 1996 and now dominates the Atlantic bluefin industry. Today there are 70 registered ranches in the Mediterranean alone...
...busies itself engaging in a self-referential elevation of campiness. While a great deal of the humor in the original hinged upon the brothers’ bungled attempts to recreate old action movie scenes, “All Saints Day” makes a conscious attempt to churn out fantastically outlandish fight scenes and hard-boiled, quotable one-liners. Murphy kicks off a killing campaign by cheekily remarking to his brother, “Let’s do some gratuitous violence.” Later, Romeo even threatens to physically harm a hostage if he doesn?...
...rabid fan base of “The Boondock Saints” was certainly instrumental in securing the funds necessary to churn out the second installment of Duffy’s crime narrative, and he has acknowledged that the audience’s rabid anticipation and high expectations exerted considerable influence over the making of “All Saints Day.” “There was fear on set. It was almost palpable,” Duffy said, describing the filmmaking process. “Nobody wanted to be the guy that screwed...
