How to make your own prison wine
This was a New Year’s Eve for partyers, starting on a Thursday night and leading into a multi-night, celebratory weekend that put lame, midweek Dec. 31s to shame. And just maybe you woke up Monday and stared into those bloodshot eyes in the mirror, vowing to do it differently in 2010. Go out less, workout more, maybe even take up a hobby. Here’s one worth a try: making some good old, 25-to-life, brewed-in-a-bag prison wine.

We now know that a hole in the ozone has been slowly developing above southern Australia, leaving its residents at extreme risk.

Capoeira (pronounced kap-oo-era) is a form of play fighting from Brazil that combines music, dance, and martial arts. It is a conversation of flowing movement where two players perform attacks and respond with evasions. The goal is not to injure but to trick your opponent into dodging amiss through feints and guile.
