    The power strip is the source of so many things, but cord clutter is often the main attraction of this show. Most power strips have holes on the back so you can even hang them on the wall with just a few screws or nails. If your entertainment center has legs for days, installing the power strip just below the base bridges the gap between the furniture and the wall.

  • Win the fastest Land Rover ever, the 2021 Range Rover Sport SVR

    The Range Rover SVR can do both, though we don’t recommend attempting them at the same time. Also, a Range Rover Sport SVR can be had for much less than the $125,000 MSRP — just head on over to Omaze, where they’re giving one away. If I have to compare the odd experiences, I'd say that BMW's X6 M is more technically proficient (with pin-sharp engine response) than the SVR, but the Range Rover felt less high-strung and edgy on a circuit.

Or sitting inside with the air conditioning blasting on a gross summer afternoon with a nice, cold pint? While there’s nothing wrong with the store-bought stuff, homemade ice cream tends to be creamier and richer, and it’s a fun project that lets you experiment with flavors you can’t always find at the grocery store.

    Sifan Hassan's bid for a distance treble at the Olympics was nearly derailed Monday when the world champion tripped over another runner and fell at the final bell of her 1,500-meter heat. Hassan tried, but failed, to hurdle over Kenya's Edinah Jebitok, who tumbled just in front of her as runners jostled for position at the start of the final lap. Hassan also went crashing down but rolled, quickly got back to her feet and set about chasing down the pack in an astonishing comeback.

  • Outgoing Iran president says government not always truthful

    Iran's outgoing president on Sunday acknowledged his nation at times “did not tell part of the truth” to its people during his eight-year tenure, as he prepares to leave office with his signature nuclear deal with world powers in tatters and tensions high with the West. President Hassan Rouhani's comments, aired on state television, come as officials in his government have appeared rudderless in recent months amid a series of crises ranging from the coronavirus pandemic to parching droughts fueling public protests. After appearing just days earlier to be lectured by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei about their failures in the nuclear negotiations, Rouhani's remarks appeared aimed at acknowledging the problems his government faced in its waning hours.

  • Weeknight pasta comes with tasty shortcut

    On the Italian island of Sardinia, we were smitten with a richly flavored pasta with ground pork and wild fennel. It came loaded with a host of spices and herbs, including parsley, black pepper, fennel seed, paprika, red pepper flakes, onion and salt. Italian sausage always includes at least some of those seasonings, so we just removed the sausage meat from the casing and sauteed it to create a flavor-packed ragu.
