What is the best cordless electric knife?

I'm looking to buy my forefather a cordless electric knife and want to get him a good one. The only one I hark to much about is that Sonic Blade one. But I don't normally buy thrust from infomercials. Does that one work? Is there a wiser one?

Will a good electric Knife sharpener ruin good knifes?

I got a chef's acceptance electric sharpner for X-mas & I have a really expensive set of knives. Can I use the electric sharpner or do I scarcity to sharpen the knives by hand somehow.


I truly like the sharpener I have had for the last five or so years. It has four rods of two unheard-of hard stones arranged in two Vs.
You can get them at sporting goods stores and some mat stores. It only takes a few passes over the stones to hone most knives. I think it probably price me less than twenty dollars. Don't forget to burnish or strop the blades as you grind them.

World's First Electric Fish Choir

Conducting a choir is no small feat. Conducting a choir of fish is a first of its kind. Biological engineers, visual artists and composers at Northwestern University have come together to create the world’s first fish chorus. Normally silent fish from the amazon can now be heard in a project called 'scale'.

"One of the things that we really enjoy about this installation is that it is interactive, the person has a very unique experience,” Marlena Novak, MFA, a visual artist at Northwestern University told Ivanhoe.

The Black Ghost Knife Fish emits an electric field to sense its surroundings. Cables placed inside the tank pick up the field and the sound is amplified through speakers. The result? A chorus of electricity!

"What you end up with is a 12 speaker surround sound system with 12 different choir members each of which you're able to mix dynamically to create your own sound field,” Malcolm MacIver, Ph.D., a bioengineer at Northwestern University told Ivanhoe.

A slice of convenience

When it comes to home baking, the idea of convenience has been kidnapped by well-meaning manufacturers who have created a culture of pre-rolled pie crust, shrink-wrapped cookie mix and frozen cudgels of bread dough.

Granted, the pie crusts do save time, and the bread dough may serve as training wheels for those tentative about dealing with yeast. (Come on, you can do it!)

But the convenience of refrigerated cookie dough is hardly modern. Our great-grandmothers knew this with their recipes for icebox cookies, as they once were called. These mostly humble treats got a boost in the 1930s when electric refrigerators became more affordable. Manufacturers trying to drum up business created recipes that required refrigeration, and icebox cookies were rechristened as refrigerator cookies.

When cookies became even more convenient - already baked and packaged! - the appearance of dough in our grocer's dairy case seemed positively homespun. All well and good, but making your own gives you greater control over ingredients, and can be way more fun, depending on what additional ingredients you want to stir in. How about chopped dried cherries, figs or apricots? Roll the tube of dough in chopped nuts, candy sprinkles or sparkling sugar. Blend in flavors such as cocoa, coconut, flavored chips, even potato chips - whatever strikes your fancy.

Electric knife and watermelon - Boing Boing

Complicated Criticism GEEK: A rhubarb.

I was enceinte the criticize detail to chop the melon in half and was severrely unsatisfied when it never did. It kept on looking like it was about to.

That frustration is an sensation. It produced an passion in me in a shifty way, while also making me come up with about yeah, the sex hint, too.

This gives it artistic significance, what it did to me. It might not have artistic advantage for everyone, but if it works for someone, well, enough people, possibly, then it's art (risky sharpness, but IMHO it's art.)
