Arctic Monkeys release album artwork

Arctic Monkeys -Favourite Worst Nightmare /Ext
Arctic Monkeys have unveiled the cover art for their new album Favourite Worst Nightmare.

Alex Turner told NME.com the band wanted to use a real work of art for the cover.

He said: "We wanted to do something physical, like do something real with the artwork. We got all these illustrators, played them some tunes and that and got them to draw bits of stuff, bits of things that we liked and stuff.

"The idea was to get a house or a factory that looks really plain and bland, dark satanic mills or whatever, and then inside there's all this colour.

"And then Juno, who did our last album, basically painted this house, and then they took an actual wall off.

"There's all these kids from the area gathering outside it every night now. They're trying to secure it, but it's probably going to get burnt down now!"

Favourite Worst Nightmare is due to be released on April 23, and will be preceded by the single Brianstorm a week earlier.

The Kitchen Winery

This is what they'll think of next...

A winery for your kitchen
A winery? In your kitchen? If that sounds like a pitch from a late-night infomercial, then imagine the obstacles Greg Snell had to overcome to get his 10-person startup off the ground. Snell is CEO of Provina, the San Jose-based company behind an elegant new product called the WinePod. A digitally networked, 4-foot-tall machine that ferments, presses, and ages wine in one self-contained device, the $3,500 WinePod can produce varietals in batches of up to 60 bottles, controlling temperature via a wireless connection to the owner's personal computer. Wine experts who've tried the first batch from a WinePod--a light pinot noir--give it a thumbs-up, but to get upscale oenophiles to take him seriously, Snell tapped product designer Loren Sterling to create a brushed-stainless-steel and white-oak cask that looks right at home next to a Viking range.

Woman grows nipple on foot

Three mile-islander's 15 minutes...

Woman grows nipple on foot

A 22-year-old woman sought medical care for a lesion in the plantar region of her left foot, a well-formed nipple surrounded by areola and hair. Microscopic examination of the dermis showed hair follicles, eccrine glands, and sebaceous glands. Fat tissue was noted at the base of the lesion. Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of supernumerary breast tissue, also known as pseudomamma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of supernumerary breast tissue on the foot.

Dannielynn's DNA Taken for a Ride

clipped from www.eonline.com
Anna Nicole Smith's paramour is reportedly appealing a Bahamian justice's order to submit Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern for DNA testing, despite the fact that the test has already been performed, according to several media outlets.

MSNBC said that Stern, who is listed as Dannielynn's father on her birth certificate, took the six-month-old to a doctor's office in the Bahamas Wednesday and, although a court-imposed gag order prevents the various factions from discussing the case publicly, the general consensus is that the baby girl was on the scene so that a mouth swab could be taken.

Larry Birkhead also visited the same doctor's office Wednesday morning to submit his own DNA, according to TMZ.com. Stern is exempt from testing for now because, since he's on the birth certificate, he's daddy until proven otherwise.

House Panel Approves Subpoenas for White House Aides

The heat turns up...
clipped from www.bloomberg.com
A congressional panel probing the
firing of eight U.S. attorneys authorized subpoenas to compel
testimony by Karl Rove, President George W. Bush's top political
adviser, and other White House officials.

The House subcommittee took the first step toward a possible
constitutional confrontation with Bush over the power of Congress
to question presidential aides under oath and review confidential
administration documents. It approved the subpoena authority by
voice vote over Republican objections.

The White House countered with a threat to withdraw its
offer to produce Rove and other White House aides for private
interviews if Congress takes the further step of actually issuing
subpoenas.

``If they issue subpoenas, the offer's withdrawn,'' White
House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters. ``Are we going to
change our conditions? No.''
