Finding an Affordable Crystal Dildonew
"I only found a couple sites that seemed to carry such a thing and they were in the rather prohibitive range of $600-$1,700. I don't want glass, pretty as those can be; ideally, I'd like one in rose quartz, to maximize the loving vibrations. Maybe there's a Stevie Nicks-endorsed line out there I missed?"

'Speed Racer' is a Migraine in Movie Formnew
The Wachowskis have used their skills as visual craftsmen to replicate the tics and wild stylization of the original. The results are at times amusing, at least in a "I can't believe there's actually a chimpanzee flying through the air against a streaky neon background" sense, and at most other times, nauseating.

10 Years of Nothing
It's been a decade since the last new episode of Seinfeld. Yet we're still watching.
Taking the Train from D.C. to New York Without Ever Boarding Amtraknew
It's no wonder that Amtrak rules the well-traveled path up and down the Northeast Corridor. It's fast, the stations are conveniently located, and it's comfortable -- but that comfort comes at a price -- $97 for the regular train and $188 for the high-speed Acela. So I found another option.

With Prices Up and Employment Down, Food Pantries Get More Visitsnew
There has been a 5 percent increase in the number of food-stamp recipients in Tennessee this year, and more than twice as many Memphians are visiting the Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association to pick up food vouchers that entitle them to get a five-day supply of groceries four times a year from one of the group's food pantries.

Santogold's Debut Sticks to Pop Basicsnew
The first two released songs portrayed Santogold as a hip-grinding purveyor of ambitious mutant-pop, somebody who could adeptly splice hip-hop with club rhythms and dub echoes. In other words, an M.I.A. who could sing. So it's a little shocking that Santogold is so sugary.

Will Columbus' First Bike to Work Week Have a Lasting Impact?new
All it really takes to turn Columbus into a cycling town, some bike advocates say, is more cyclists. And -- oh, yes -- drivers who know how to share the road with those cyclists. Others say it's unrealistic to think a city as spread out as Columbus will ever become as much of a cycling town as, say, Portland.
