text: Divisiveness and redistribution by John Hayward 29 Mar 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to Cults and Factions, American Style: This sort of thing is an integral part of my objection to the redistributionist Leviathan State, and I guess it might even fall under the Alinskyite advice to force the enemy to live up to his own book of rules. (We conservatives are the counter-culture now, after all.) We're always been told that "divisiveness" is one of the worst political sins. Few epithets come more readily to the leftist tongue than "divisive." Some of them throw it into nearly every reference they make to their political opponents, the same way they ritually chant accusations of "extremism" or "greed." But what could possibly be more divisive than an overbearing regime of income redistribution? It's a system that transforms citizens from competitors into enemies. You can only get what you are "entitled" to by taking it from others - who are, by definition, unfairly seeking to "steal" your rightful due. Instead of attracting the attention of competing providers, the dependent citizen seeks the attention of benevolent politicians... and hopes to evade the notice of tax collectors. Free people have daily control over their lives. If they no longer wish to patronize with a business, work for employers, or join forces with certain partners, they are free to change their minds (within contractual limits, of course.) A single individual's needs are of relatively high importance to those who compete for his business. It's not perfect, to be sure - we've all got stories of being treated badly by vendors and employers. But it's vastly better than the level of influence we enjoy as dependents of a massive, distant government. We only get rare opportunities, separated by years, to directly influence the government. And our hopes of doing so are very small, unless we join a political collective - a union, an interest group, etc. Then we can get the attention of the political class, especially if the masters of our collective can assure their political allies that our votes will be packaged and delivered neatly on Election Day. That means solidarity with our collective is paramount. Politicians are not afraid of loose alliances whose members are liable to stay home on Election Day if displeased. They fear well-disciplined political troops far more than irregular electoral militias. In sum, our system is designed to encourage and promote precisely the sort of factionalism you (and George Washington) denounce. In fact, failure to join such a faction is irrational. You are not going to be left alone - the ruling class has only just begun to seize your assets, regulate your life, and control your industry. You must march in lockstep with many others to find a measure of security... and you should learn to view your political opponents as bitter enemies, just like liberals do. You'll notice they're not shy about challenging the very humanity of people they disagree with. Factional warfare is a contest of morale, just like all other warfare is.

Re: JLA Puroresu
Good opening segment, with the CTU trying to get Minoru to come back to the stable. Looks to be the setting up of the big face turn for Minoru, with him turning on his teammates totally tonight
Good win for Tanahashi, who appears to be having a good solid run in the midcard at the moment, and I can see him taking the U-30 title soon, as he appears to have been built up for it
Sasaki vs. Aiykama looks to be on the cards again, and when they meet up it should be a good contest, for what looks to be a good upper midcard feud so far
Good win for Sting and Muta, who look to be having a good run in the tag division. If there is a tag belt, then I would expect them to get their hands on it soon
Will Tanaka turn his back on his friends? All signs point to yes so far
A good win for Storm who appears to be moving through the mid-card quite well, as he picks up another win. The US title for him then?
Shock of the month surely? Didn't see the double cross coming, where Tanaka turns his back on sasuke and rejoins the CTU. A great swerve though, but I still see the turn on them coming soon. I guess something will happen in the next two weeks or so, but this storyline is carrying this BTB at the moment, and is one of the best around
Big win for KENTA, and now he faces Liger at the ppv. Should be a great main event, and I guess next week that match will get a bit of a build up. Surprised this main evented instead of the tag match, but it does work this way around

Second, I tried to make the emulator as user friendly as it can get.

If Sedona Red Rock High head football coach Rob Lezcano could pass a law stating his Scorpions need only to play the second half, skipping the first half entirely, he probably would do so.
For the second straight week, Sedona football fans watched their team fall behind early, this time to rival Williams High. The Scorpions couldn't recover as they dropped to 0-2 [0-0, 3A-West] on the season, 27-24.
Sedona kicked off to Williams and the Scorpion defense held the Vikings offense to three-and-out, forcing them to punt.
On Sedona's first play from scrimmage, senior quarterback Pedro Ortega Jr. pitched it to junior wideout Troy Loparco for what looked like a sweep play.
Williams overplayed it as Loparco was ready for it, firing a rocket 30 yards downfield to wide open senior receiver Ben Fazekas.
If Fazekas caught the ball it was 6-0 Sedona, but unfortunately he dropped it, and instead the Scorpions had to settle for second down with 10 yards to go.
"I knew they would overplay that sweep play because we ran it a few times last week with success. I called the right play and Troy [Loparco] made a great throw but Ben [Fazekas] just dropped it. Ben is a great player for us and will catch many touchdowns for us this season, just not this time," Lezcano said after the game.
The play shifted the entire course of the game as Williams went on to take a 20-0 lead at halftime as the Scorpion defense had trouble stopping the Williams offensive attack which totaled 155 yards in the air and 170 yards on the ground.
"It's like we come out hesitant to play football in the first half. We know what to do, we just don't do it," senior tailback Dylan Watkins said.
Watkins certainly brought his "A" game against Williams on Friday, Sept. 4, carrying the ball eight times for 120 yards and two touchdowns.
He caught two balls for 13 yards, had a punt return for 11 yards and had two kickoff returns equaling 50 yards, not to mention he led the team in tackles with 16 on the night.
The mood is certainly different in the second half around the Scorpion bench this season, making it one of the more enjoyable Sedona football teams to watch in recent years.
Watkins gave Sedona its first score with 6:05 remaining in the third quarter to make it 20-6, Williams.
The score rejuvenated a Scorpion team looking for something positive and the boys took it from there.
Watkins' name again would pop up to begin the fourth quarter as the senior back scampered 70 yards for a touchdown on Sedona's first offensive play of the quarter to make it a 27-12 game.
Senior kicker Ryan Cadigan was nowhere to be found on the sidelines, forcing Sedona to go for two for the second time on the night. The two-point conversion was no good, keeping the score at 27-12.
It was not reported where Cadigan was, but he was not in uniform for the entire contest against Williams.
Missing their best kicker hurt the Scorpions in the long run as they did their best to come back against Williams in the fourth quarter, scoring three touchdowns in the period.
The Scorpions would recover a fumble on the ensuing Williams possession as sophomore safety Bradley Cox fell on top of it to give Sedona the ball back with 11:32 remaining in the game.
The halfback pass from Loparco to Fazekas was called again by Lezcano and worked to perfection this time, giving Sedona another score to make it 27-18 with 11:22 to go.
"They were all worried about the fumble they just had and we didn't wait to go for it all," Lezcano said.
With 4:16 to go and Williams driving, trying like crazy to put this game to bed, senior Dylan Shugrue intercepted a Darius Brown pass and returned it 55 yards to give Sedona another chance.
Ortega and his offense took advantage as Ortega hid the ball well on a handoff and walked into the end zone on the left side to give Sedona another score, making it 27-24.
Sedona again failed the two-point conversion, making them 0-4 on the night which ended up being the difference in the game.
The Scorpions would get one more last gasp at a victory as Ortega set Sedona up with a 37-yard broken play run with 46 seconds remaining.
"This group of players we have here have worked so hard to get here and it shows with our determination. It's the best football team I've been on here and I think we're ready to start winning," Ortega said after the game.
Ortega had eight carries for 88 yards on the night including the touchdown and completed two of seven passes for 11 yards.
With 18 seconds to go, sophomore Jack Johnson was called upon to heave the ball into the end zone, but didn't have much time in the pocket, throwing the ball too early.
As it landed near the end zone without a Sedona receiver within 10 yards of it, the air went out of the stands as Williams needed only to down the ball to end the game.
"We were prepared so well for what Williams was going to do. We just didn't make the plays when we needed to. The boys were in position to do it, and they didn't, and that's why we lost," Lezcano said.
Next up for the Scorpions will be another home game, this time against rival Camp Verde High on Friday, Sept. 11.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

You can take all your gore or torture porn movies, and exploitation flicks and fake snuff movies and none of them match this. Amazing film and it genuinely has a feeling of pure evil running through it right from the opening scenes. You don't see much gore or violence, it's all mostly implied apart from one scene, but that's what makes it so fucking great. I defy anyone to sit through it and not feel uncomfortable or disturbed. The scene with the dancing in slow motion really freaked me the fuck out. That's how good the film is, when a man dancing with a woman at a party becomes something genuinely disturbing or uncomfortable, that's a sign that the director (and actors) are doing an amazing job. The fact it's a true story adds to that aura. The one torture scene is the hardest it's ever been for me to watch something, ever.
Only ones that come close for me are Irreversible and Martyrs, but Martyrs is mostly just fucked up.
The torture scene left me cold, partly because of the stop / start nature of it all and also the tragedy of the guy having to relay that information for his recorded message. When he started begging for his own death I just fell a chill rush through me that I have never felt when watching the hundreds of horror movies that I've seen. Wolf Creek was based on true events too and is a very scary film but its violent scenes still felt cinematic and detached whereas that scene in Snowtown felt incredibly realistic. Must have been really weird experience having to act it out.
Like you say the film was a class above torture porn and the sort because it was invested in character and in showing how people continue to make the same mistakes, the mother falling for another psychopath, the son becoming another passive victim to someone more powerful etc. I also like how the narrative teased you at first by making you sort of half agree with the ethos of the villain to eliminate scum only for it to escalate with the guy emerging as a bigger scum than the rest of his victims combined.
Yeah it left a sour taste, but I was still able to appreciate the artistry in between feeling nauseous.

Apple to triple iTunes song sample length
Apple's CD-crushing, music industry–transforming iTunes music store will triple the length of many of its song samples from 30 to 90 seconds. This move, which has been rumored for weeks, was first reported by the Symphonic Distribution blog on Tuesday, then confirmed by Cnet that evening. The change was announced in a "Dear …
Good job i don't use itunes
Im guessing you won't get to hear 90 seconds of Mad House - Rihanna since it's a patheticly short song at just 50 seconds.
I'm ashamed to have got that on an album at full price, the only thing worse would be paying for it on itunes to see that you only get an extra 20 seconds after paying.
Re: Good job i don't use itunes
But R'n'B albums are usually at least 15 tracks long. Nothing wrong with a bit of something short in the midst of it.
I mean c'mon. I'd rather listen to (and indeed pay for) a 50-second song by Rihanna than an eight-minute one by Meat Loaf. If we measured song quality by duration then Meat Loaf would be more lauded than Johnny Cash.
There's no accounting for taste.
Who is this Rihanna of whom you speak any way?
RE: Sarah Bee
Rated R had 13, including many that are dreadful and 1 which is decent but only 50 seconds long (Mad House).
Listening to Depeche Mode last night and you would need longer than 30 seconds on each to tell if it was a good song, most weren't.
I just think music cds should have a certain quality to them for the price, Rihanna's wasn't worthy of full price and with reference to Meatloaf, the only song of his i have heard and enjoyed is from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.(Hot Patootie i think)
Wait for it....
Freetard response in 3..2..1...
"Still not long enough to make a decision on ( insert name of horrendous 35 minute Prog-Rock fretboard-wankfest ), I want to hear the whole thing in 7:1 surround sound FLAC format, before I buy it! So I will still rip it off from XYZ torrent site!"
Tubular Bells? A Passion Play? Thick as a Brick?
I like my 35 minute Prog-Rock fretboard-wankfests...
Who the hell is Rihanna ?
And what's with this Meatloaf dissing ?
no need to buy anymore then :)
Since twitter, facebook, short blogs and no more reading books, my attention span is reduced to 14.8 seconds, this will do nicely !!
(contemporary) classical music
90sec preview of tracks > 2'30 is an excellent idea as I'm sure many people will not have been able to grasp the full depth of John Cage's 4'33 from the initial 30secs thus I'd assume that this move will greatly boost its download potential (though, on the other hand, it may be that sales are hindered by the way the compression algorithms will affect the overall sound)
Who previews stuff on iTunes anyway?
If I want to preview a track, I look on YouTube. If I decide I like it, I'll buy it off iTunes.
Full length track preview vs 30(90) seconds seems pretty clear to me.
I still use ad supported Spotify to find out if I like a track. No idea why iTunes doesn't allow the same listening model.

I have several questions about culinary school....
- w
- Want2bPastryChef Feb 8, 2010 03:16 AM
Hi everyone!
1. I'am 24 years old and Im dying to be a pastry chef and I now that for some years I will have crappy pay (and thats a little scary to me), but I dont care. Im 24 and I want to go to culinary school for baking/pastry arts. I was thinking I would go for a four year degree(I do have general education credits and would not like for them to go to waste), but Im not sure if that is necessary or not. I would like to be an executive pastry chef eventually though. I was talking to this chef that I work with he isnt a pastry chef, but he said that I should also do an apprenticeship. So I thought it would be a good idea that while in school I could do an informal apprenticeship so that way I can get a solid foundation in culinary education and have experience as well for when I go out into the workforce. Is it possible to do both school and an apprenticeship at the same time?
2. Also I dont want to go to a fancy culinary school or one of those for profit schools (Le Cordon Bleu/ Art institutes) and pay thousands upon thousands of dollars. Are there any public colleges/universities that offer four year degree baking pastry arts degrees besides CIA and Johnson and Wales? I have been looking, but I cant find anything.
3. Also is it important that I go to a school accredited by the American Culinary Federation?
4. Can someone give me the 100% truth about how much a pastry chef really makes if they are not an executive pastry chef? I
5. Is being a pastry chef as stressful as being a regular chef?
6. Will I have a life outside the kitchen? Thanks for reading all my questions! Sorry I have so many.
I would suggest looking in to the archive at http://eggbeater.typepad.com/
There are some good posts about pros and cons of culinary school, and some hard cold truths about the industry. Shuna will likely respond with well thought out answers if you pose questions to her. She believes in the art, but is well aware of the pitfalls.
I live in Asheville, NC and the local community college, A-B Tech (Asheville-Buncombe) has a culinary arts program with a two-year associates degree that has a good reputation. They have a baking and pastry arts program. Link below.

4) between $12 an hour and $45 k. If you're a big star in NY, Chicago, LA, etc or run the pastry department for a group of several restaurants you'll make more, but for a single outlet in a city of a few million, you'd be lucky to get much more. A lot of people in the kitchen will make more than you, I think I usually make about 75% of what the sous chefs make.
5) Yes.
6) Maybe. A lot of pastry chefs work mornings, but early hours can be as much of a drag as late ones. Expect to work 50 to 60 hours a week, and cancel all future plans for Christmas, NYE, and Valentines day.
i'd rec working/apprenticeship rather than going to culinary school. lots of folks who go to culinary school end up not being able to work in restaurants because of the combo of their burden of culinary school debt and the reality of low wages in restaurant jobs--ironic, huh?
depending on what you specifically want to do/execute, the repetition of formulas and techniques you'll get in a job, rather than from the small-scale stuff you do in a culinary class, will probably serve you better in the long run. you will have to push yourself toward more refined and challenging positions at other jobs as you grow your expertise. try to work with pastry chefs you respect in your own area-- you can learn lots of little tricks and recipes from them. you could also check out the offerings of your local community or technical colleges for classes. since we don't know where you live it's kind of impossible to make specific recommendations.
the thing about doing pastry is that if you are good, you are a little less tied down than a chef who has to put in 60+ at one restaurant. a pastry chef can do the desserts for more than one establishment and have something independent on the side, like wedding cakes or cupcakes or packaged bacon brownies or something. some jobs will pay you by the hour, and you can expect to be doing scones and muffins and such as well as desserts, and some others will pay you by the piece/item-- so if you can only make 5 pies an hour or something you simply won't be able to pay the rent at that rate, but it might be a nice hobby.
If you live in a big city on the east or west coast, I would knock on doors and present yourself as ready and willing to learn the biz. You are going to work 10 years before you see any real money. Culinary shools are great but don't really prepare you for the real world. As I said, start someplace at the bottom and closely observe and see if this is what you really want. I'm not trying to be discouraging but the food business is rough.
re: mrbigshotno.1
Well I live in Columbia, SC. I think it will be hard to find a pastry chef here though a lot of restaurants and even hotels use store bought desserts. Then whats the point of culinary schools if they dont prepare you for the real world? Yeah Im going to try and find an internship this summer so I can see what it is like.
re: Want2bPastryChef
"Then whats the point of culinary schools if they dont prepare you for the real world?" I believe that you answered your own question in your initial post " Also I dont want to go to a fancy culinary school or one of those for profit schools (Le Cordon Bleu/ Art institutes)"
**For Profit** are the key words; these schools are in the business of making money. I taught at a private culinary school before it was sold to LCB and wouldn't teach there now. The cost/benefit ratio for students is embarrassing and I could not participate in the charade.
Do as soupkitten recommends, find someone to take you on as an apprentice. Talk your way into a kitchen and learn everything you can.
I lived in a city where there was a Johnson and Wales campus. I had many friends who graduated from their pastry program. Most of my friends have struggled to find employment. Most work at local hotels for slightly above minimum wage. Other make doughnuts at Dunkin'.
There's definitely great pastry positions out there, but you're most likely not going to find one in a small city. Providence (the city mentioned above) is the second biggest city in New England and friends still struggle finding pastry empoyment.
re: invinotheresverde
Thanks your comment was helpful.
1. You can take a Baking/Pastry Arts Program at many schools. They will often require you do an externship, their word for apprenticeship. You will gain a finesse and expertise studying under the chefs at at an accredited pastry program.
2. The Baking/Pastry Arts Program are often shorter -- part of a year, or 18 months. It might be expensive, but at least you won't pay tuition and the expenses of going to school for long.
3. Yes.
4. I know two Pastry Chefs. One makes 50K at a country club, the other 65K managing the baking and dessert programs for several restaurants in the same restaurant group. They both went to culinary school, and have fantastic skills. They worked in baking/pastry before school, then externed at the Four Seasons and the Ritz.
5. No, not as stressful. Regular hours. At the restaurant early in the morning before anyone else, leave at 3 pm.
Not around for the stress of dinner service -- someone else will plate your desserts.
6. Yes, because of the hours. This is one of the great things about baking/pastry. But you must also establish boundaries so you're not working 70-80 hours a week. Bear in mind restaurant jobs are very hard on relationships.
Takes a while to get a high-paying job, so apprentice with the most talented and famous pastry chef you can find so that you can learn their techniques. I think this is critical to success. An executive pastry chef won't even talk to you -- usually -- unless you're already highly skilled and have some mastery of technique (or special creativity). You will need to live in a city or near a resort/country club, unless your goal is a bakery business. And be forewarned, most restaurants will start you out at a low wage, not offer you health insurance, and you'll have to work weekends and holidays.
I'd ask yourself if this is what you really want to do. I've also known several passionate pastry students who burned out, and changed careers when their passion didn't earn them enough money. Good luck to you.
Not a professional but this is something I'd considered doing in passing. You should look into the community colleges in your state. I took classes at one in Oakland, CA, quite a few people were there to get credits and take a few years off culinary school (and reduce cost). The classes were very reasonable and credits do transfer to many schools. I have a friend who learned the basics of pastries/baking by working at a restaurant. She started out low but worked her way up. She learned the basic skills, what pastry chefs do, etc. w/out committing to a high priced education and decided against it. So, while being an apprentice would be wonderful, you can learn the ins and outs of a kitchen by working in one. At that point, you've also got the experience and, hopefully, the attention of the pastry chef.
I have two friends who did culinary school but quickly realized the working conditions weren't for them. On the other hand, I have a friend who is a succesful and happy executive chef. He started out as a dishwasher in a resort town, skiing was his motivation. It Took about 10 years to work his way up. He did do some community college courses in food safety etc along the way, during the off-season when jobs were scarce. So he basically learned on the job and figured out the lifestyle suited him (he's moved on from the resort town to a big city, has a partner and a kid).
I think it would be a good idea to get lots of information from actual working pastry chefs. Just this morning, I read the list of the James Beard semi-finalists for pastry. What about writing each of them -- via email, fax or letter --
and hearing what they have to say on "making it" in the business, school, training and apprenticeships? Just search out the contact info from the web or elsewhere, then send a fax, or ask that your email be forwarded to the pastry chef. Good luck.

re: maria lorraine
Thanks so much Maria!! You have given me excellent pieces of advice. I will definitely contact those chefs. The more info the better...You seem to know a lot about this are you a chef or something??
re: Want2bPastryChef
I think getting the direct contact info, and developing a good letter/note will net you great info from the pastry chefs above. As to your question, I went to culinary school a long time ago, and it changed the arc of my life. Not just the education but the doors it opened, and the calibre of professionals to which I was introduced. I've known a handful of people who have taken the professional pastry program at the CIA. Sincere best wishes.
I graduated from Johnson & Wales with a Bachelors in Culinary Nutrition. In my opinion Culinary School is a decent option for several reasons. I was a transfer student and got to use many of the credits from my previous education. If you have a degree, the school offers a Garnish your Degree program which is an interesting 'fast track' that focuses on the pastry or culinary aspects of their curriculum. The school is also very good about offering classes that are available at different times that help with doing an internship or working while going to school. The courses are from the ground up. You start with the essentials and build on them. Networking is also great. I met a lot of talented chefs and celebrity chefs doing volunteer work. I was also a teaching assistant and worked at the school while attending. The scholarship as well as the pay allowed me to come out of an ordinarily expensive school with managable loans.
re: beerzombie
Thanks for your input beerzombie! If you dont mind me asking what is your occupation now? Would you say going to Johnson and Wales helped you land a job? How did you become a teaching assistant while you were there?
re: beerzombie
Hey beerzombie! I'm about to go to Johnson and Wales for the Culinary Nutrition degree. I'd love to ask you a few questions if you don't mind.
-Which campus did you do it at? Would you recommend Providence of Denver?
-Did many students go on to become private chefs?
-Would you recommend trying to take some of the basic classes like anatomy, biology, etc. at a community college to reduce the cost of tuition?
Thanks for your help!

According to my source, he claims that it does but I thought I'd ask since I assume a dying hard drive and a computer's motherboard are separate issue.

Sorry to bump this thread but I thought I'd ask since it goes back to source of where this thread started... Does power-cycling (persumably, turning a computer on and off) have any effect on a computer's motherboard? Does it wear it down? Or am I just repeating the same question in this thread already?
According to my source, he claims that it does but I thought I'd ask since I assume a dying hard drive and a computer's motherboard are separate issue.
Most chips don't really heat up much and the ones that do, CPU, North Bridge, GPU, etc., they had been designed to withstand wide temperature ranges. For example, here are the temperature ranges for my system:
The ambient temperature was around 20-22 degree Celsius. Note that the temperature for the internal hard drive is pretty close to the ambient temperature, while the external drive is running much warmer.
The CPU and the GPU on the other hand are 4-8 degree Celsius above ambient temperature, which isn't that bad. Playing some games and/or heavy use of the computer can easily push the temperature for the CPU and GPU to the 50's range, which is about 50% more than the idle temperatures.
If it's true that turning on/off the computer would damage the motherboard, using it beyond idling would downright destroy it in a very short timeframe. I for one who has some doubts that it's true...
You are correct that the HDD and motherboard is a separate issue. One the other hand, the power supply could cause damage to the HDD, even if there's no storm in your area...
|My System Specs

Heat ICs to ambient temperatures above 100 degrees F (40 C) and not one IC is damaged. Many see the resulting crash. Then assume that is hardware damage. Heat only causes timing changes resulting in failed instruction processing. Cool the IC and nothing changes.
Intel processors have even operated in temperatures as high as 350 degrees F without hardware damage. Semiconductor damage meeans temperatures even higher.
How to find defective semiconductors? Operate the computer in a 100 degree F room. The timing changes causing crashes at 100 degrees F is how to identify and avert failures maybe a year later at 70 degrees F.
That is also how a defective drive might have been found before its warranty expired.
Another failure can be traceable to a defective power supply. Normal is for a defective supply to still boot and run a computer even for months. Heat and a multimeter can also identify that defect long before defective voltages eventually make a disk driver appear to be defective.
Determine what is and is not defective by executing a disk drive manufacturer's (provided for free) diagnostics. Especially informative when executed at higher ambient temperatures. And also at lower (ie 40 degree F) temperature. Temperature is a powerful tool to find defects. Unfortunately, many see the defect. Then blame temperature for what is really a marginal and slowly getting worse hardware.

In this era of social media, Facebook has emerged as the leading social media site. With over 1 billion users to date, Facebook has managed to create a social community spanning the globe, enabling communication and sharing of information in just click of a button. One such concept that has been born due to this amazing capability to share information is the Facebook meme. Broadly defined as any idea or concept that can be passed from one person to another through Facebook, these memes are spreading like wildfire.
Facebook memes serve to inspire, to make audience's laugh, and spread information with the use of photos, words, images, and even videos that are specifically created for this purpose. While some memes enjoy widespread popularity and can become viral overnight, some are also mediocre and forgettable enough that they quickly vanish into oblivion.
Of the tons of memes that have been created, liked, and shared, here are the most notable and unforgettable ones:
- The "25 things" or "50 things" – who would forget these memes that went viral overnight because it was fun, interesting, and of course, it had the user's personal participation? Everybody down to their grandmothers were filling in the "25 things" meme that ranged from facts like most annoying thing you did, the last song you listened to, to what you think about your neighbor, and other fun stuff that can be thought of.
- Caption This – this type of meme achieved notorious popularity, and even talk shows like The Ellen DeGeneres Show post this regularly on their Facebook page and have audiences participate in captioning the picture for the day. The photos range from hilarious wedding snapshots, family vacations, pets on the loose, and anything that sparks interested. Needless to say, these memes not only get a very positive response from their audiences, but it also rakes in thousands of likes and even shares.
- I like to do it on the ______ meme – ladies should remember this pretty well because this meme worked liked a chain mail with women all over the world receiving a mail that says you should post this statement on your status, without any prior explanation of what you'd like to do on the particular location you've indicated. For those who haven't received this private mail, they were quite appalled at what they read, but for those who did, they totally knew what the meme was all about.
These are just some of the Facebook memes that made waves at the time they were shared on the social media site. It did become viral because of the fact that it was interesting and it asked for the audience's participation too.

North Carolina-Iowa State Game Ends On Failed Timeout: Twitter Explodes
Somewhere, someplace, Chris Webber is smiling. With enough time left on the clock to call a timeout and draw up a play for North Carolina, the Tar Heels did the exact opposite, letting the clock run out before they could stop it. The failed timeout gave Iowa State the win and a trip to the Sweet 16 after a long debate from the refs.
Twitter instantly exploded with fantastic reactions. Here's a roundup of some of the best tweets:

Once again I don't like calling time out in that situation. This is also why I don't think coaches should be able to call TO. Too confusing.

In fact, Karr's ordeal was the inspiration for this film, which was produced and written by her husband, Abby Mann (who also partially adapted the script from an unrelated novel by Dr. Howard A.

Considering the price you get a lot of bike for your money. This 'junior cruiser' doesn't feel like a lesser bike; it's not underpowered, doesn't feel budget, is cool and still has big bike appeal. So good and such value for money I'd question why you'd want anything bigger unless you're a dedicated big custom fan.

Moto Guzzi's Norge tourer gets a makeover for 2011. Now called the Norge GT 8V, it has a new chassis, body panels and the latest evolution of the Italian firm's eight valve engine, replacing the old two-valve motor. It also comes with an impressive array of goodies, all included in the price too. It's as comfortable as ever with a ...

As big-wheel scooters go the Peugeot LXR125 is hard to fault – the competitive price, stable handling and a good dose of practicality add up to well-rounded package. It looks relatively stylish to boot.
124cc, 13bhp, 78mph, Insurance group 4
Sadly, the two-stroke 125 is all but dead. The recent advent of credible, easy to ride and cheap to run four-strokes is killing sales of fickle, expensive smokers. Derbi's learner sportsbike gets an all-new design with a four-stroke engine for the first time, going head-to-head with Yamaha's YZF-R125.
124cc, 12bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 3
The Derbi Cross City is an off-road influenced learner bike that manages the three-card trick of being stylish, novice-friendly AND affordable – but it's not perfect. What pricks the Derbi's bubble most of all is the tall seat. For lads of 5'9" or more it's not really an issue and to them I'd say buy and enjoy without a qualm. ...

One of the laziest new bike developments for 2010, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F is simply a standard Diversion with a full fairing and ABS. It's a similarly easy to ride all-rounder that's practical as a day-to-day bike, but it's a bit more stylish than the half-faired bike.
125cc, 15bhp, 73mph, Insurance group 5
Rieju's new Marathon 125 supermoto is powered by the same engine you'll find in Yamaha's YZF-R125 and WR125 range, albeit fitted with a 30mm Keihin carb instead of fuel injection. Costing £3199 this Spanish-made machine is actually £400 cheaper than Yamaha's own WR125X supermoto.

The new Moto Guzzi Café Classic is a café racer version of the V7 Classic retro roadster warmly received last year. Powered by Guzzi's small block 750 Nevada V-twin powertrain in an old school twin shock chassis, it's a dinky, cute runaround and almost embarassingly toy-like for anyone over 5'10". But what makes it great is how beautifully and classily ...

You'd never guess this was an entry level custom cruiser, at only £6500 it's a hell of a lot of bike for the money. It questions whether you need a larger bike, as it does everything a larger customs does and is considerably cheaper. It feels large, like a proper custom bike, comfortable, strong engine, more than enough for two ...
