Under load, these should all be reduced, but the lithium more so.
Also, the bottom of the graph not being zero grossly distorts the differences between the batteries.

But this knife lacks a santoku's indentations on the blade which prevent things from sticking. It has the santoku shape, but it's not a santoku without those indentations.

Replacing the small amount of plastic with cardboard and making it disposable is NOT GREEN!

Great post, and if I may suggest another-- if food is being served buffet style and some dishes contain gluten, do try to (1) keep them separate and make sure the serving utensils don't migrate, but also (2) ask you gluten-free guests if they would like to go first to avoid any unintended cross-contamination by other guests serving themselves.

Also, vinegars have been proven to be safe:

QueenOfTheFall, you end up using much less toilet paper since the water stream takes care of most of the business. Compared to the gallons used in the flush, the stream doesn't use very much water at all, and it likely avoids dreaded multi-flush situations where the sitter may use a lot of paper (and never really get *clean*).

I have a Brondell Swash (800) and it's just fantastic. I got it after a trip to Thailand where every toilet has a simple sprayer on a hose, the type that North Americans are used to seeing in the kitchen.

It's an obvious but strangely rare modern hygenic solution: what else do you "clean" with dry paper?!

Bidet seats or sprayers like this may be useful for re-nesters with fragile old plumbing: they reduce the amount of toilet paper needed.

Curious if you have any recs for wireless headphones? I've tried Motorola S805 and S305 and both underwhelm. Sony DRBT21 look interesting. Why so few options given how many iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads can stream wirelessly?!

While undoubtedly one of the most exciting looking fruits out there, it may be the most boring in terms of flavor. Great to look at, but not so great to eat, unfortunately.

The Le Creuset casseroles are classic, but I didn't know until I rented a furnished house that they also make enameled cast iron casseroles-- amazing for roasting:

BTW everybody I've known who has used Colombian clay cookware loved it... until it cracked..:(

Gotta have a selection! Crystal, Trappey's, Louisiana, Frank's, Tapatio, Cholula, Melinda's, Sriracha, and Tabasco are kicking around my kitchen now. Can't find the sambal at the moment but it's here somewhere.

Heat and spice fiends should keep a can of Tony Chachere's around too, also peppers in vinegar, which is especially good in soups or on beans.
