The Squeezer Attack by Aleksandra & Daniel Mizielinsky

Squeezer Attack Sketch

Starck had been in an italian restaurant eating seafood, when he looked at the octopus on his plate, then at the lemon in his hand.
He wiped his mouth with a napkin and - prestol - on the greasy nanpkin he drew the squeezer.
He immediately rushed out and showed the napking to the owner of the Alessi company.

IS THE SQUEEZER AN OCTUPUS, OR A SPACESHIP ON SPINDLY LEGS?

Before the industrialization, probably in places where was harder to get this kind of kitchen elements, most of them were easier to be made at home, as wood work or ceramic work, hand made. the next videos will show how few of them were made in a "easy" way...

Lust - Lujuria - Lussuria - Capital Sin

The meaning of Lust (carnal "luxuria") based on wikipedia encyplopedia is an emotion or feeling of intense desire in the body. The lust can take any form such as the lust for knowledge, the lust for sex or the lust for power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food as distinct from the need for food. Lust is a powerful psychological force producing intense wanting for an object, or circumstance fulfilling the emotion.[1] Many religions separate the definition of passion and lust by further categorizing lust as type of passion for something that does not belong to oneself.

THE LEMON SONG - LED ZEPPELIN
Lyrics
I should have quit you, long time ago. 
I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor. 
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind 

Everytime I go away and leave you, darling, you send me the blues way down the line. Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied. 

Let me tell you baby, you ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive. 
Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can, 

Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man. 

I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago. 

I wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on this killing floor. Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg. 

The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed. 
I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.





The first and the last

The first


 It is not a secret than the first tool to squeeze a lemon was our own hands, up to the human being found the way to improve this activity through the history

End of the 19th century a large number of patents filed on a novel lemon squeezers. to date (june 2007) listed in the United States patent and trademark office, over 200 patents for lemon squeezers, the majority of these patents pending between 1860 and 1910

 L.S. Chichester 1860
The oldest U.S. patent was on the 3rd of Lewis S. Chichester Signed in July 1860. It was a pincer-shaped model made ​​of cast iron. After the specification of the model Chichester over conventional presser was to operate with less effort.


G. R. Wilson, Jr. 1886

W.O. Dunlap 1890
the lemon squeezer from W.O Dunlap, from what i can appreciate was made in two different materials, wood (the base) and iron, not too much different from the other ones, this juicer press, has a long arm,  that press the lemon against the penknife, with a leaky surface, just is not clear if that part is removable, or how i fill the glass with the juice i squeezed.

Curiosity
Dublin, Republic of Ireland, Trinity College, 1857
During Class Day in 1857, a senior named William Niles presented a wooden lemon squeezer to the Class of 1859 as recognition of the sophomores’ “aggregate excellence in scholarship” and “moral character.” From that day forward, every Class Day included a ceremonial passing down of the lemon squeezer to the rising class that proved the most popular. It didn’t take long for a “spirited rivalry” to build between first-years, sophomores, and juniors.
In 1895, tipped off (and ticked off) that the squeezer was going to the Class of ’97, representatives of the Class of ’96 staged a brazen theft of the squeezer from the speaker’s podium, triggering a free-for-all, cross-campus chase that ended with a ’96 man galloping away with the squeezer on horseback. Over the next century, more substitute squeezers were stolen and replaced and re-stolen than we can count. The latest version of the lemon squeezer makes its only appearance during Convocation, when the College president squeezes a fresh lemon to make a toast to the incoming class, followed by lemonade for all.

Summery of the history


The oldest lemon squeezer was invented in turkey in Kutahya city and found from the first quarter of the 18th century, these ceramic presses in the typical style of Turkish pottery having a superficial resemblance to today's conventional appliances with cone, but are constructed differently. The cone is hollow and perforated at the base.Inside it contains a column, which terminates in a hole at the bottom of the press, thanks to this contruction the juice flow to the container base when the juice level has reached a certain level and can flow over the edge of the cone located inside the cylinder.

In the 18th century were pushed for use of lemons in Europe. presumably this worked on the smasher potatoes model, being used as a lemon squeezer, an element with small holes where the juice could come out.

The writer Jean Paul mentioned in 1798 "such lemon presser" I say if you do not at the minute every hour grape berry auskeltertet least with some lemon pushers - because at the end what would be?

The lemon squeezer creation put a quote from The daiary in the Vehfreude of Jeremias Gotthelf close to 1850 on the doubful customer traveling: This has been made poor devils often in such the lemon markets in example: there are in fact compressed into three different times to punch: the first time with the thumb, the second time with his fis, for the third time with a potato oppressors ". This quote clearly desccribes that the mechanical pressing is the ultimate expression of superior hand. 

In England, the lemon squeezer was known in the second half of 19th century, a wide circulation in France was probably even later, that was the fact that they weren't mentioned in any dictionary.
