...read the results of these particular psych tests. But I still feel like a jerk as I dip a teaspoon into the applesauce jar yet another time and fill up a tiny saucer, trying to serve myself exactly as much applesauce as I did when I used a big spoon and a big plate. As predicted by previous results, the bigger spoon caused me to serve myself almost 15% more, the big plate 25% more. I also overestimate--by 50%--when I try to pour a shot into a wide glass instead of a tall one, a problem even professional...
...compete on mountains buffeted by winds from Antarctica. In fact, Pinot vines don't mind a blanket of snow as long as summer temperatures are warm enough for the slow ripening needed for intense flavors and complexities to develop. "Pinot Noir is not one of those grunty, stand-a-spoon-up-in-it wines. It's fickle and voluptuous and complex," says Neill. "People say there's a lot of wine in the world, but there's not a lot of Pinot Noir, and admirers are looking for regional differences...
Imelda Staunton is exceptional as devil-in-a-pink-sweater Dolores Umbridge, Hogwarts’ latest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Spoon's sixth album, unfortunately titled Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (out July 10), has no sitars or harps, no qawwali singing or convoluted metanarratives. It's just 36 minutes of taut, minimalist rock played mostly on guitar and piano and sung by Britt Daniel, a reedy Texan with a dry, been-around...
...Rhthm and Soul leave behind is memorable phrases ("It can't all be wedding cake/ It can't all be boiled away") and choruses that keep your hips moving. Anything that gets in the way of velocity has been jettisoned. The closer, Black like Me, is as near as Spoon gets to a ballad, but even it steps on the gas halfway through. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga doesn't have any tricks up its sleeve, and it won't make you a better person. But give it a chance, and it'll work wonders nonetheless...
