Sourdough Starter, America’s Rising Pet – The New York Times

I’ve killed starter. I didn’t quite feel like it was a pet… since I sort of forgot to feed it for a few days. At least the cat meows at me and pees on my clothes when I forget to him. The starter? Stayed pretty quiet until it started to reek of cheap booze. Luckily I had some in the fridge I was able to reboot.
Not a baker and in the Buffalo area? I highly highly recommend BreadHive. (full disclosure, I am a shareholder). They will also sell you some of their around the world starter.

 

Adopt it, feed it, even name it. You’ll be paid back in lofty doughs and pungent breads.

DOCTOR WHO Will Exclusively Stream on Amazon Prime | Nerdist

Back in late February, we told you about a video Amazon posted to their Twitter showcasing some of the new and upcoming programs that would be available on their Prime streaming service beginning in March. One of them was Doctor Who, which was big news given that the show had just disappeared from all streaming services at the end of January. That video was quickly taken down, though, and it seems to be because they weren’t ready to officially announce it. Now they are: Beginning March 27, Doctor Who will be exclusively streamed on Amazon Prime. The press release from BBC Worldwide North America states that Amazon Prime will be the only U.S. streaming service to get to show the British sci-fi favorite, meaning folks who used to watch it on Netflix or Hulu and don’t have Prime will have to subscribe. However, they are offering free 30-day trials for new members if you want to test it out. So what will you be getting? Beginning on the 27th, Prime subscribers will get the complete series

Nijemo Kolo

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=emRIxey0btk

 

Nijemo Kolo (a mute kolo) is a silent dance originating from the Dalmatian hinterland in southern Croatia. In 2011 it was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.

The Nijemo Kolo is performed by a group forming a closed circle with the men leading their female partners in quick, fortuitous steps which are often vigorous and daunting. The most noticeable aspect of the dance is that it performed entirely without music.

Today, Nijemo Kolo continues to be performed by local village groups and can be seen in festivals, competitions, fairs, church celebrations, and weddings.
