Update: RI breaks heat record at 102, hottest since 1991 5:35 PM Tue, Jul 06, 2010 Tatiana Pina PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The temperature in Providence hit 102 degrees Tuesday afternoon, breaking the previous record for the date of 97 degrees reached on July 6 of 1999, according to the National Weather Service. The last time the temperature reached 100 was August of 2006, according to meteorologist Charlie Foley of the National Weather Service. But that's not all. Today's high is the hottest temperature recorded at T.F. Green Airport since July 21, 1991, when the mercury also reached 102 degrees. (The all-time record is 104, on Aug. 2, 1975.) Neal Strauss, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said the new daily record was reached at 2:20 p.m. A few minutes before, the temperature had reached 101. http://newsblog.projo.com/2010/07/providence-hits-100ready.html |

Yeah, the sun sucks doesn't it?
A few days ago we had 113 degrees. Hottest since the 1823 if I remember the news correctly.

As has been noted before, the Wok, is the most amazing cooking instrument known to human kind. First off, you can do stir fries in it. Second, you can do normal frying / deep frying in it. Third you can do steaming / braising in it. Fourth, you can boil pasta in it. No one said that it has to be a pot. If anything I'd argue that it is superior to a pot because you don't have to break your spaghetti as much. And fifth, you can boost your wi-fi. with it. |

Why do you need to break the spaghetti at all? |

Depends on the size of the pot. If it won't fit, you have to make it.

Just immerse what you can in water, that will quickly soften up, then wrap it around the pot. Simples. |

Argentina is the first country in South America to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide.
It was voted on today in the senate.

...that gay marriage is now legal in California. The Supreme Court overruled the proposition as a breach of constitutional rights. |
