Gene Barry was originally
offered the role of accused murderer
Dr. Richard Kimble in the 1960s TV
drama "The Fugitive," but turned it
down for fear of being negatively
influenced by the character every
week: "He was played very furtively. I
thought I had to be more outward."
Barry later chose to do "Burke's Law,"
which ran from 1963-1966 and was
revived in 1993. David Janssen was
selected to play Dr. Kimble, and "The
Fugitive" ran (literally) for four strong
seasons.

The world is shrinking... you may have
heard the adage. It implies that today's
ever-more-connected society is
reducing the practical distance
between us to almost nothing. The
truth is, though, we're running out of
space! Either we're living in
increasingly urban environments,
where space is naturally at a premium,
or we're hoarding more stuff. For some
of us, it's both.

In a world where usable space is a

cookware takes up too much space...

Ash and Lightning Above an Icelandic Volcano
wait. Perhaps you're going to far there?
Explanation: Why did the picturesque 2010 volcanic eruption in Iceland create so much
ash? Although the large ash plume was not unparalleled in its abundance, its location was
particularly noticeable because it drifted acrosssuch well-populated areas.
The Eyjafjallajökull volcano in southern Iceland began erupting on 2010 March 20, with a
second eruption starting under the center of a small glacier on 2010 April 14. Neither
eruption was unusually powerful. The second eruption, however, melted a large amount
of glacial ice which then cooled and fragmented lava into gritty glass particles that were
carried up with the rising volcanic plume. Pictured above during the second
eruption, lightning bolts illuminate ash pouring out of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.

Breakfast, if it is to be believed, is the
most important meal of the day. Skip it
at your own peril! If, however, you have
to choose between breakfast and still
being able to walk through your kitchen
without disturbing the precariously
balanced stacks of pizza boxes, might
we offer a humble suggestion?
This tiny appliance is barely bigger than
a regular toaster, and yet crams three
separate appliances in one! One one side,
you have a coffee maker capable of making
a couple cups of coffee. Next to it is a tiny
personal toaster-oven, browning bread like
a champ! Finally, and cleverly I
might add, is a wee skillet that
utilizes the waste heat from the
toaster oven. Crack a couple of
eggs or strips of bacon onto it,
and you've got yourself a
complete breakfast in a space no
bigger than a pekinese. …
