It has to be 5'clock somewhere and I decided to grill a gigantic steak and to open a bottle of Pisco that I got when I went to Perú.
This bottle is so cute! It resembles a "huaco" from the Moche culture that flourished in the North of Perú between 50-800 a.D.

There was a horrible earthquake in Peru last night. It reached 7.9 in the Richter scale and the city near its epicenter, Pisco, has been nearly destroyed. The communications haven't been restablished yet, over 300 ppl are dead and homeless, and the highways have collapsed.

As you all may know, the earthquake that hit 2 days ago the city of Pisco, in Peru, has left about 500 persons dead, over 1,500 injured and thousands without a home. Pisco is a small fishermen town about 3 1/2 hours from Lima, the capital city. These hard working people have been left homeless and shocked with grief, having to identify their children among the bodies piling up at the Main Plaza.

YOU may regard the electric blender as a helpful household appliance. For your bartender, it is a tool straight from the devil.
“You’d be hard pressed to find a barman who takes his work seriously who works in a joint with a blender,” said Duggan McDonnell, an owner of the bar Cantina in San Francisco.

Tis the season of giving and giving back, so I was pleased to find omilawd's website-of-the-day nomination: Aidgle. The site is a custom version of the Google search engine, but when you use Aidgle the creators donate one cent to non-profit organizations doing relief work in current disaster locations for every visit they receive.
The search results that you get when using Aidgle are the same results that you get with the usual Google search.
