Smash Cops came out for the iPhone well over a year ago, and was a surprise hit thanks to its addictive, exciting action and simple concept – you're a cop, and have to smash up getaway cars. Now, the same developer has come up with a sequel called Smash Bandits. Guess what goes on this time?
Well, it's not quite as straight forward as the title suggests, and although the game is mainly about smashing stuff up, instead of a criminal on the run, you're the star of a Police, Camera, Action-style TV show, who's paid according to the ratings achieved by your antics. Yes, that's right, you boost ratings by hitting anything highlighted by a blue arrow. At this point, it has all the makings of another highly enjoyable arcade game, but sadly, it's not quite up there with Smash Cops, or the excellent Reckless Getaway.
Controlling the car is simple, as it auto accelerates when your finger is pressed against the screen, and you steer by sliding it across the screen from left to right. It's accurate enough, and suits the simplicity of the game. An arrow guides you in the vague direction of a points multiplier, but the game is completely open and you're not obligated to follow a set route. It's worth looking at though, as sometimes it'll guide you into a boat house, where the action moves to water, reminding us of Spy Hunter, until you reach the other side of the Florida-like swamps and return to your car.
At first, your car is a bit weedy, and can only knock over fence posts and small objects such as post boxes, but as you make more money you can upgrade it's toughness, as well as speed and handling, to start taking out larger objects.
Power-ups can also be purchased, such as protection from "Stingers" which puncture your tyres, and being able to transform your car into a tank. One of the most helpful is a ram, where a tap of a tailing police car sees you shove it off the road. It's an essential really, as the police cars are absolutely relentless, and are all over you in moments. Even when you buy the headstart power-up, which sees you begin the game from the first points multiplier, it's only a matter of seconds before you hear the familiar wailing siren.
Smash Bandits starts off well, and the tutorial gives you a wallet full of virtual cash and some special coins to spend on continues. But this money soon dwindles away, and you're presented with various in-app purchases to help boost your account.
The coins are especially hard to come by, and it all becomes a bit of a joke when you reach a wanted level of five and find yourself in prison. To get out, you can bribe the cops with a few coins, or wait 10 minutes to continue playing, a mechanic similar to those used in Real Racing 3. This combined with the focus on avoiding cops instead of smashing the scenery didn't inspire us to continue playing.
Yes, Smash Bandits is free to download, and you get maybe 30 minutes of play before being faced with prison, but if you want to make any meaningful progress in a short amount of time, you'll have to buy some virtual currency. It's not unusual, but that doesn't make it any less annoying.
Seeing as developers continue to push out freemium games like this, it must prove profitable too. However, as Smash Bandits' gameplay doesn't really change – drive, smash, avoid, repeat – the in-app purchases seem particularly poor value here, as improving your car won't alter the fact the game is very basic.
That said Smash Bandits is worth a quick play if you've got an hour to kill, as smashing things up with a car is always a bit of fun, but we'd be surprised if the game had enough content to keep you hooked you for long.

I owned a HD JVC radio which was a good unit. I own a Pioneer 930 BT which is a great head unit with Gps build in. I looking for a unit for my wife's Civic , may go for Pioneer 940BT. Have you checked out the real off brands. BOSS, PYLE and the others?
You have given me food to chew on.
What Brand of Head Unit Should You Choose?
Categories: Mobile / Car Electronics
Maybe you're at Best Buy...
Maybe you're surfing the internet...
Maybe you're browsing through a Crutchfield magazine...
...all in hopes of finding a head unit that fits you.
I find that the major reason one head unit brand is more expensive than another is: build quality. I am going to be focusing around that, and plan to expand on each brand - right now I have a skeleton.
You might think features have something to do with it (they do play a small part, indeed), but they really don't. For example, some of the best head units such as McIntosh and Nakamichi that can cost almost a grand don't play MP3 discs, yet you can find a Pioneer or Alpine that will for less than $300.
Here's a list of my thoughts regarding popular head units, along with a build quality AVERAGE rating of 1-10 (10 being the best):
Alpine - Great head units that have some extremely nice build characteristics. Whether it's a low to high grade unit, it's going to be a great head unit. Build quality=9
Pioneer - My favorite head unit brand built. All of their offerings are extremely competitive with other head units in their class. The build quality is amazing and are guaranteed to be affordable for whatever budget you have. Build quality=9
Kenwood - Not so great. They can easily pull you in with many features, but will leave you stranded for build quality. The paint on the buttons usually wears off quickly, and they can be notorious for CD mech problems. Build quality=7
JVC - I would rate JVC a little lower than Kenwood. JVC is a great budget unit, but mostly for one that doesn't expect a lot from a head unit, or just needs a temporary solution. Build quality=6
Clarion - Their mid to low class units are bare in features, but offer a very good build quality. However, their high end units (mostly the touchscreens at this point in time) are extremely competitive with other head units in the same class. Build quality=9
Blaupunkt - Aesthetically speaking, in my opinion, are quite ugly. They are widely popular outside of the U.S. because they are the best outside countries have to offer. Build quality=6
Jensen/Dual, Lanzar, Legacy, JCWhitney, Xplore, and other no-name head units - To be avoided at all costs. I have experienced failure with new Jensen units within two weeks of operation. I have yet to see one of their CD players last more than a year (though most last for half of that on average). It's better to just keep your stock stereo. Build quality=1
Eclipse - Have an excellent sound and make great competition units. They have high voltage pre-outs, so you might want to consider a different head unit if your amplifier cannot accept high voltage RCAs. The interface is a bit more confusing, but can be worth it. Build quality=9
Sony - Is similar to Kenwood in build quality, and quite honestly, I feel like they should have never gotten into the car audio market. The Sony head units aren't budget-priced and have a very common failure rate. Build quality=5
McIntosh - Some of the very best sound quality head units made. They are bare on features for sake of keeping build quality and circuitry as simple as possible, resulting in audiophile heaven. Build quality=10
- Nakamichi - Excellent head units that again, can be a bit bare in features, but have a nice stock look that won't guarantee them being stolen. Build quality=10
Overall, I would easily say Alpine, Pioneer, Eclipse, Nakamichi, McIntosh and some Clarions are going to be your best head units. If you decide for a lower priced deck, such as Kenwood, Blaupunkt, Sony, purchase with caution. Jensen/Dual etc. is horrid and should be avoided.
As a disclaimer, I don't profess to have tested every head unit made, and I know some have had better experiences than I have. However, I have tested more than 500 head units in my technical career, and have owned more than forty head units within the past three years. If you have a differing opinion, please post and I'll be sure to include it in my article if needs be. I'm trying to get a feel for how this works ;)
I owned a HD JVC radio which was a good unit. I own a Pioneer 930 BT which is a great head unit with Gps build in. I looking for a unit for my wife's Civic , may go for Pioneer 940BT. Have you checked out the real off brands. BOSS, PYLE and the others?

22oz bomber poured into a Duvel tulip.
Pours a hazy murky brown with a very small light brown head, no lacing but. Not flat. Nose is oxidized, boozy, almost like bourbon but there's none, odd...
Taste is still quite bitter, earthy and chewy, booze is still strong given the age. Mouthfeel is crisp and quite sweet. Overall pretty acceptable.

Served in a tulip.
Pours a nice copper color with a small white head that diminishes pretty quickly. A bit murky. Average lacing. The nose brings forward a pretty heavy amount of bread, brown sugar, and caramel. A bit nutty as well. A bit doughy. The flavor continues on this path with a really nice amount of brown-sugar sweetness as well as light dark fruits and a bit of sherry character, likely from oxidation. Flavor is fairly lasting and the moderate sweetness carries things through nicely. Bitterness is light at this point, though still there. Medium body. This has really moved toward an english barleywine and it was quite enjoyable.

Another great extra from my buddy Greg, although I'm afraid this might be way past its prime. I popped the cap and was not surprised to only hear a slight hiss. I poured into my DFH snifter straight on and was left with a very thin and spotty tan colored head. When I hold it up to the light it appears muddy and murky like old pond water. Deep copper brown with some yeast chunks lingering around, with no light passing through. Viscosity is fairly thick for its age.
Right off the start loads of caramel, brown sugar, some wet cardboard, papery aroma. Faded muted hops, earthy undertones with some slight garlic and onion notes.
Pretty thin, muddy, onions, brown sugar, some raisins with no real hop presence. Like a weak poorly made barleywine. Honey, slightly sugary quickly tangy finish. As I predicted was past its time but still fun to try and see the aging on this.

Exceptional on all fronts.
Appearance - Beautiful gold/pale with lots of floaties. Wonderful dense and frothy head.
Nose - deliciously hoppy nose! As soon as i popped the cap you could smell the citrusy hops. Mind blowingly intense nose.
Taste - Fascinating! Very bright and fresh malty notes combine with an aggressive tropical hop profile. Some tropical fruit notes - possibly pineapple with some passion fruit? The brightness of this beer is wonderful. Really glides across the palette and sparks the wonder factor hugely. Malty notes are sparkly and refreshing with a bitter finish that is very refined and appreciated.
mouthfeel - exceptional. perfect mouthfeel - bright and hoppy with a fullbodied but not cloying in any way.
drinkability - excellent. potent brew though.
conclusion: one of the most exceptional IPAs i've had the pleasure of drinking. Absolutely spot on for the style and my favorite of all the stone brews. Three thumbs up!

poured into allagash chalice
Beer pours a ruby copper color with an off white/buttermilk colored head, about a fingers worth. About halfway through the head is gone, almost looks like i have poured some bourbon in my chalice.
The hops have definitely lasted much longer than expected, however they are not taking a leading role like they would have earlier in the life of this beer. It is more sweet, resiny like a chocolate covered hop or chocolate covered pineapple upside down cake.
The hop in the taste comes through differently, more medicinal and piney. The malt is a bakers/bittersweet chocolate that is rather intense. The last half of the glass is full of settled dregs. The consistency of a watery chocolate milk.
Overall glad to get a hold of a bottle even if its almost 4 years old. Paired it with homemade tandoori chicken, basmati rice, and naan. Good stuff.

Pours a hazy amber with small light brown head that dissipates rather quickly.
Aroma is sweet, honey, apricots. Very pungeant.
Taste is sweet, piney hops, medicinal, light malts and citrus.
Mouthfeel is medium+, lightly cleansing. Smooth.
Overall, good brew. Drinkable. Nice complexity. Definitely not a typical IPA.

Got this from an internet ordering website just for the heck of it. It has been aged for a while so it will have lost most of what makes it good (probably) but what the hell.
A-the color is a deep redish copper color, extremely hazy, with a thick two full fingers of an off white head that lingers for about a minute and leaves huge lacing on the glass. i couldn't ask for any more.
S-as expected, not much hops. huge notes of sweet malts with caramel and lots of caramilzed brown sugar. there is some resinous taste to this with hint of citrus hops at the very end but they are faint
T-again, the hops have faded, bit sweet malts, this is more like an american barley wine and i think i'll rate accordingly (as it is an aged high abv beer). the sweet malts are the same, lots of brown sugar, some sweet caramel, and hints of citrus towards the finish. there is also some notes of oxidation at the back
M-almost a full body, extremely syrupy, still lots of carbonation but very smooth.
D-its still pretty solid even after all this time. just no hop presense and i'm going to look at past reviews, but i'm assuming (being a stone imperial ipa) that it was a hop bomb!) cheers and this was fun!

From the 3 of the anniversary brews i've tried 8,9,10,this is the best one.Had this one in a bomber at the Peach.This is the most drinkable of the 3.All the Stone stuff smashes ur face but this one is a treat has a citrus bite to it first off but easy on the finish,malts present,great carbination, not enough to kill the fish just right..Two thumbs up..Beckons from the glass a golden amber with a foamy, bready off white head. The aroma is very hoppy, bready, and some floral notes. From the first sip I knew for sure buying a swing top 3L 3 years late was not a bad call by any means. Tons of hops still punch through this baby, lots of floral and citrus accompanied by a distinct biscuit/bready flavor that produces a hint of staleness but not enough to negate the hop deliciousness. A very sweet taste overall, maybe some honey. .

Poured 22oz bomber into a 22oz beer glass. Beer has been aged in the fridge for the past 3 years.
A - A clean pour into my glass with a good finger of tan head that dissipates in the glass leaving a nice cover of lacing. There is a lot of carbonation and foam for a 3+ year old beer. The color of the beer is dark copper and the beer is exceptionally clear for an aged DIPA.
S - The smell is spicy with a strong malt presence. There is a strong toasted malt, caramel and burnt sugar flavor of this beer. As for a high powered hop presence it is not there. There is a hint of pine and citrusy hops but the malt is the clear winner here.
T - Strong hop presence and bitterness on the front end which segues quite nicely into a spicy caramel malt flavor that finishes with a fruity kick to it. The alcohol is well hidden in this beer. The beer tends to grab more flavor as it warms up a bit.
M - This is a medium bodied beer that has moderate carbonation on board. The beer starts with a bite but finishes very smooth and somewhat dry. Slight feel of warming alcohol on the back end but not overwhelming.
D - Very drinkable and well aged after 3+ years. The alcohol is extremely well hidden but does catch up to you after you finish the entire 22oz. This is a nice beer that seems to be off the beaten path compared to your traditional DIPA offerings. I would definitely drink it again.

Thanks to t0rin0 for providing me with a bottle of this. I hadn't tried it before, and this has basically become a pretty decent barlewyine, from all accounts.
A: The pour is a dark amber color with an off-white head that leaves some great lacing.
S: The smell is pretty much your typical barleywine: toffee, brown sugar, caramel. While the hops that were certainly the focal point of this beer at one time have long since faded, there is still a very nice citrus aroma.
T: The flavors follow the nose fairly closely, however they are a bit muted. The caramel, toffee, and sugar are certainly there, along with a noticeable about of alcohol. Any hop flavors that are left are mostly covered up by the sweetness, except for a mild bitterness on the finish.
M: The body is full and the carbonation is actually surprisingly lively, even if it is a bit on the light side.
D: Like any sweet, 10% ABV beer, there's only so much "drinkability" to it. I am actually somewhat of a fan of this beer in its current state, however I can only imagine how delicious it would have been fresh.

Hey guise,
So, this is something we've been working on for quite a while now. It's something we've always thought about, and today's the day we're finally going live with it. This is many months in the works. Allow us to introduce to you: the Eatyourkimchi Premium Nasty!
Here's what's up: we know that the community here on Eatyourkimchi is the strongest community we have. The conversations that happen in the comments here, the discussions between yourselves and even with us, are really inspiring. The comments are oftentimes much longer than the blog posts we write, and most of the time more insightful. The value you all bring to the community here is in many ways better than what we bring here ourselves. We don't really view this as our site, but as yours, and you just let us post here :D
So, we've been trying to make things better for the site here. We recently moved to a new server. We just added some features to speed the site up. We've been cleaning up the code as much as we could. And now, we want to offer a bunch of new features, starting with the most important feature:
New Commenting System
Disqus is great in many ways, but for a long time now, it hasn't been loading for a lot of people. For all of the features and bells and whistles it has, that doesn't matter if you all can't load the comments. Well, that's an issue no more. We've switched back to WordPress default comments. They now load instantly, with the page. No delay at all. Anyone can comment if they have an account on the site. It's that easy. It's not as feature heavy as Disqus, but we're going to be adding more features bit by bit. It's coming. It took us a long time just to get to a default commenting system that looked not half bad.
The commenting system is for everyone to use. No strings attached. No obligations. The next features, however, are purely up to you if you want to use them or not:
Eatyourkimchi: Ad Free
Let's be honest: running a web site that gets a lot of traffic incurs a lot of costs on servers. Seriously: our server bill every month is stupid high. The only way to make up for these costs, unfortunately, is to display ads on our site. It's just a part of the media world. It's how magazines run, it's how TV runs, and it's how the internet runs. It gets in the way for a lot of people, we know, and we thank all of you who have kept your AdBlock off for us, but we want to offer you a cleaner way out.
So, we've made a version of the site that's ad free. No obtrusive ads. Instantly faster load time. You just get video, content, comments. Boom. A much cleaner experience. We hope you like it.
It's up to you if you want to use the ad-free version of the site. To do so, we've built a premium membership model. Buy a premium membership if you want to go this route. And we're not even asking you for a set price. It's not $100 a year. It's not $1000 a year. It's whatever you want to pay. Whatever value you find in this site, it's up to you. $1, $10, or whatever you feel good about.
But, that's not all! We're offering one more really cool thing as well. We're really excited about this last one:
Mobile Eatyourkimchi Version!
Have an iPad? iPhone? Samsung phone? Whatever device you have, we made a mobile-responsive site that resizes the page according to your device. Commenting is easier, reading is easier. Navigating, all made easier in the mobile version of the site. This took a lot of time and development juice to build. It's yours to have in the Eatyourkimchi Premium version, for however much you think it's worth. Here's what it looks like!
And, we've got one last tiny thing:
Premium Nasty Badge
Just to thank you for being so awesome, Premium members will get a Nasty badge added to their names when they comment. Show the commenters how lovely you are. Shout out your Nastiness to everyone, with this big Nasty badge. It's not as cool a feature as the others, but hopefully you like it.
Yeah! So, that's it. We hope you like these changes, and the many more we plan on adding in the upcoming months. Let us know if there are other features that you'd like to add to the site, different changes you'd like to see. And even if you don't want to partake in the Premium Nasty account, we're just honoured that you're here hanging out with us to begin with. Thank you for your continual awesomeness :D

I was wondering are you going to be coming up with an App??
Baek Hee - 2 months ago
I really like that you have this. As you can see I just subceribed. I like that there is no adds with this and i also like that you let us pick how much to pay. Some places you want to suppost but feel like it's a lot of money.
It's in the works and should come out hopefully by October :)
AMF11235 - 2 months ago
How does the ad/money thing work for EYK? Is an add a flat rate? Based on the number of users who see it or just those who click on it? I always use AdBlock, but if it interferes with your revenue I would definitely turn it off for you guys – I love this site :)
E.Kraven - 2 months ago
Yay for mobile friendly version! I have a question, is there any chance you'll introduce a kind of gift system where we can buy other people membership? I had to log into my friend's account and used my info to get him his membership since he didn't have a credit card. I just think it'll be a bit easier if we can buy it for other people. Also, I only paid a little for a whole year of membership (WOW!) now that I have an income, I can afford to help out more, so donation
We're building a better buddy/commenting system at the moment, and hopefully we'll get a gifting system happening soon, too!

So….Is anyone else having a payment problem that isn't using Paypal? I'm trying to put in my billing address-the same one I've used for the last 16 years-and it's telling me my combination of City, State, and Zip Code are incorrect. Also, how in the world do I get my profile pic not to upload sideways?
jordiebird - 3 months ago
NVm, turns out Paypal doesn't know there's technically supposed to be a dash in my City's name…. But YAY!!! I've got a sexy Nasty badge! It's worth any amount just to be able to access the site from my phone, plus all the other cool stuff, too.

I totally want a membership; it will be totally great for when viewing on my ipad (because sometimes. I just can't be bothered to open up my laptop!)
Somehow I will figure out how to get my Korean money to work online and then I will be able to give you monies for this.
Some how. Some day. … Soon. I hope.

I'm officially a "true" nasty as well :D! BOOYAH :D!!! To all nasties who don't have the means to support EYK at the moment: Lemme hug you and squeeze the worry and sadness right outta ya :).
Sachi - 3 months ago
It's a little offensive to say you're a "true" Nasty. Some of us don't have even $1 we can spare to be a premium member. As much as I love EYK, I simply can't spare anything. My last dollar goes towards food, and only food I can survive with for a time ( noodles, refried beans, sometimes ramen, etc ). As smart as really awesome as I think a premium membership is, it's a little disheartening for the rest of us in a situation like mine. Saying you're a "true" Nasty really doesn't make it any better.
some are just priviliged enough to be able to give money, but that doesn't mean you're any less of a fan than someone who is able to afford a premium membership. my heart goes out to you, and I hope it'll get better soon. I know it's really hard to be so short on necessities. I don't know how many times I was afraid of ending up on the streets because we couldn't be the bills anymore. But it got better, and it will get better for you! :)
Yay, now I'm officially, for the whole world to see NASTY :)
Btw, I have a female cat version of Spudgy :) Don't think I'll be coloring her blue though

I will become definitely a nasty, after my first salary is paid. :D My new employer will send me to Korea in July and I have to save all my money for spending it in Korea. >..< And after many new years you can make a second edition or an application "EYK Trip Advisor" for smartphones.
cutepanda - 3 months ago
Sorry the most of my message was deleted in the middle.And I already an nasty know. :) But I can not delete the old comment. :/ So here is the whole one:
My new employer will send me to Korea in July and I have to save all my money for spending it in Korea. >.< Why don't you make a book about your experiences in form of a trip advisor for foreigners. I will come to Korea to work there only for 3 weeks. T.T But I want to see all the things you showed us, like the studio, the hairdresser JUNO, the princess cafe, the nasty icecream and so on (Seriously you need a map for this!!) If there would be a trip advisor with your style, I would definitely buy it. And after many new years you can make a second edition or an application "EYK Trip Advisor" for smartphones. (Hope this time works. ;))
bethradd - 3 months ago
This is kind of a brilliant idea! Simon and Martina, I think you should actually consider this. Because you guise tend to go do stuff that isn't considered "touristy," a trip advisor book would be really cool for not only the Nasties but in general. The EYK Trip Advisor for smartphones can be updated with new locations as you go them. SUCH a great idea CUTEPANDA!!
Rardnas - 3 months ago
I agree with BETHRADD – Its a great idea CUTEPANDA! :D
Planning to travel to Seoul next year – and woah would I need a EYK Trip Advisor for that!! We want to visit every place youve visited. :D Simon and Martina – go for it!!!
cutepanda - 3 months ago
I am glad you like it and I hope they read about the idea. :) Because it will not be my last time going to korea. There will be many vacation days and I don't want to experience Korea as "common tourist". I want to do crazy an extraordinary stuff. ;) Thats why: YES go for it!!!!

Yay! I am super-duper happy to support!!
I would like to apologize in advance for the sappy paragraph to come, and deeply apologize if I seem like I am overtly flattering you.
EYK has truly taught me so much about Korean culture and Korean music. I began watching all of the videos after a classmate introduced me to Korean culture. Then, I kept watching and re-watching videos as a way to cure my homesickness and loneliness. Back then the channel was still called SimonandMartina, so when I was watching SimonandMartina, my sister would say that I am 'on a date with SimonandMartina again.' Overall, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the wonderful videos. I am super proud to be a Nasty! Thank you <3

Stay Nasty!!<3
the new commenting system looks awesome, i love it! but I feel unsure about the premium membership though. i really don't know what benefits you more, me seeing the ads or paying a one time fee (I'm broke as hell as well btw) and I don't want you guys to starve :( I wish there was like an EYK bank account that I could give money to everytime I can afford it, you guys deserve so much more
oldkim - 3 months ago
New member :-) New Fan and now a New Premium Nasty! Found Martina and Simon just over 2 months ago looking for some research on South Korea as we are in the process of adoption (South Korean child). Just waiting on South Korea to approve the adoption and we are flying over as fast as we can… he's 20 months old so we're looking at getting him when he's about 3 years old :-(
Thanks you Martina and Simon for being… just you! It's heartwarming to see the Great side of Humanity. You guise are AWESOME! I'm glad you went ahead with the Premium Nasties!
And when we come over to pick up our son… we'll have a few days to find you and thank you in person.
Ah! I remember you! We emailed you before, yes? Thank you for your support! And best of luck with your adoption :D
oldkim - 3 months ago
Yes! A few times :-)
A few questions and stuff… You guise are so helpful – thanks for answering my silly questions on travel, etc to South Korea.
Thanks (adoption)! We're just waiting for our little one. Just got a few pictures of him!!! With him holding our picture!!!
Love to take you out to a nice dinner when we're in town… but it really feels like I have been to dinner with you guise so much watching all your videos… lol (except I'm not eating all the goodies).

I always hated Disqus because I was never able to make an account and comment but now I can! This is a great idea and I love how flexible the payment is. I'm sure anyone can afford a $1 and I'm also sure there's many who are willing to just pay more because of your lovely informative videos. Keep up the nasty work guise!

And woo woo for being able to use it on my phone as well!
Ladyfluffy - 3 months ago
Hey Simon and Martina!! I'm really glad that I get to support you this way (I missed out on the kickstarter for the EYK Nasty Studio). But I am really happy that I get help out now :D I'm not a big commenter but I love watching your videos whenever I get the chance. Thanks for being so awesome!
P.S. I live about 10 minutes away from Bedford, Nova Scotia, Martina!! You should come and visit soon :D

thatssumgoodcurry - 3 months ago
OH AHM GEE! You guise!!! This is awesome! I'm so happy with the new changes, and I'm so excited to become a premium member! (But because I'm a poor college student I may actually opt for the dollar a month option ^^') I have to admit, I don't mind the ads, but really, supporting you guys would make me really happy. Really, I only know Kpop because of you. My friends showed me your videos back in 2010, and I've been watching ever since. I had no idea what Kpop was before watching your "How to Dance Kpop 2009″ video, and it's opened up a whole new world for me. I've discovered awesome music, an entire culture that I didn't know a thing about before, and made some awesome friends because of Kpop, and that's because of you. One of those friends I made through Kpop is actually my girlfriend now, and that honestly could have never happened had I not first discovered eatyourkimchi. So thanks you guys, for doing what you do. Your dedication to making videos and exposing Kpop and Korean culture for people worldwide is really an amazing thing, and I, and all other Nasties I'm sure, really appreciate what you do. You're awesome!

Hey guys! I've been a loyal follower on Youtube for over a year now, but this is probably my first comment on the EYK website!

We love and support you~ The commenting system looks great, the premium option is top notch, and I can't wait to see what more your travels and videos have in store!!

Pssst, it'd be cool if you could add in a deletion or editing system for the comments because I accidentally just made a bloop by replying to someone when I meant to comment on the page. (>v<;)
bigbangfosho - 3 months ago
oooo love the new features, too bad I don't have a means of paying for premium :( Anyway, I thought of a few things you guys might like to add to the new commenting system. You guys have probably already thought of many of these though:
-upvoting (maybe not downvoting)
-collapsing long comments with a lot of replies
-adding URLs
-uploading pictures
-mentioning other people
-hashtags(? not to fond of this myself actually, just an idea)
-video responses (since youtube got rid of them)
Just a few things I thought of :) dunno how plausible any of these are and I have no clue how hard it is to code for any of these. Love the new commenting system as is right now too!
Lala9167 - 3 months ago

Sorry for the password delay! A lot of people registered for the site, and so a lot of emails had to be sent out. Didn't know that our email server had limits, sooooo we just upgraded that.
As for the app, we're working on it ;)

I definitely don't mind the ads on this site- as a broke college student, it's the only way I can help out a website I visit so much. I'm totally excited for the mobile version, though! I'm always on my phone, so now I can look at EYK so much easier on the go!

To repeat what everyone else has said… LOVE the new commenting system! I felt so out-of-touch after Disqus stopped loading for me, and I couldn't read anyone's comments or make a comment anymore. Thank you also for giving me a way to contribute to the site. As much as I love the designs of your T-shirts and hats, I can't justify purchasing them because 1) I don't normally wear either, and 2) I move every couple of years, so I try to minimize my "stuff". Really happy to be able to witness your successes. :)
Sarah Lacy - 3 months ago
YAY I CAN COMMENT. It took forever and a day for the email to come with my password (well not exactly forever and a day but it was quite a few hours before I could log in) And now I get here and everyone is a super Nasty and I can't get a premium. I totally would though, I can afford at least a dollar

They are also streaming all the episodes of the original Sailor Moon series on http://www.viz.com/sailormoon AND releasing all the series on DVD and Bluray with a new dub! Squee I'm so excited <3
Also I'd be great if maybe you could bundle this with the merch options? Like buy a Shirt and get premium free?
BeckyandEsah - 3 months ago
Can I get the membership and keep the ads, I kind of like looking at tofebuary and Gmarket?
Ha! That's a great question. We never thought anyone would be interested. I'll ask the developer to leave an checkbox option in your profile to leave ads on :D
Agent Midnight - 3 months ago
Love the idea, but there's one thing I'm worried about. Can you guys lose money like this? Like if everyone just gave you a dollar? I want to contribute to you guys as much as possible, and if that means having ads, then I'll take it.
BabyBMommy - 3 months ago
I wondered the exact same thing. Of course the ads will still be on the regular version of the site, but with so many switching over to the premium that will cut down on TONS of ad views, so I worry that the sponsors may cut down on their compensations. I mean I'm sure they thought of all this before they went ahead with it – maybe even with decreased sponsorship they will break even if all their registered users were to give $1? I don't know but I'm sure they did some serious math before making the decision. I never really minded the ads myself. I may never have found ToFebruary if it weren't for the ads on EYK.

While i was at it, i figured that i might aswell purchase myself a cat bowler hat, and A believe in your dreams T-shirt, because why not? I've wanted a cat hat and another T-shirt for a while now!
Anyhow, i really enjoy the site and the content you upload, and i wish i could've afforded to pay more for this membership, since Eat Your Kimchi is really my main source for Korea related things.
Any hoodledoodlepoodle! I'm now a premium nasty. Hooray! Hope to see that things are still going well in the future, too~
PS: Love the new comment system. Disqus just didn't load for me on anything but my cellphone. So for a long period of time i couldn't comment. I prefer commenting on this site, than on youtube, due to the whole Google+ business, and it sort of feels a bit more intimate, y'know?
Anywas, enough of my ramble!
I know exactly what you mean. The comments here are always more thought out, while YouTube comments are very impulsive and stream-of-consciousness. The commenting community here's great and really engaging, so I prefer commenting here as well :D

The site looks better already and I think this is going to be an even more awesome place to be. Ooooooooh~ you so nasty~!

The amount I was able to spend isn't the amount I would give you for what Eat you Kimchi is worth to me. If I could I would have given you 1000$ :D *Shut up and take my money*

Youse guise are so awesome for adding this feature! The one thing that really made me say OH YEAH? The mobile site! Now I can watch your videos at work on my lunch break! Schweet! Also, pay what you want? Omg yes. I barely have available money at the moment, as it's being saved for an anime con on Friday but I love the pay what you want idea. :) And for a whole year?!

Just called my husband and told him I needed a dollar on his card and he was like "WHY?," I told him NO QUESTIONS I NEED IT! He finally relented :D
Beth - 3 months ago
Im a little confused. Is the payment a regular thing, like you pay a certain amount like once a month or is it a one off payment? T
Nope, its for one year :)
Neat idea guys!!! *thumbsup*
It's a once a year thing. Once a month would be crazy, I think :)
moonofsilver - 3 months ago
funny when you guys don't have the nasty sticker ON YOUR OWN website. since you are the creators of nasty! (okay that just sounds wrong…creators of nasty…but uh you know what I mean….)

How do you even get a premium nasty?
You can pay as much as you want for a year

Did anyone else have a HUGEANTIC problem with the old Discus comment system where it NEVER loaded?
Yes! Always! Especially in Firefox, it would always say 'Disquis is taking longer than usual to load. Reload?' -_- UGH! It only worked for me in Chrome. :P
GiftedMinnie - 3 months ago
I have chrome and it never worked for me. Also I'm really digging this new mobile site.
cloiebuggeater - 3 months ago
Premium nastiness wahoo! Now to convince my husband lol
katibear - 3 months ago
So if we don't have the Premium we can't get the mobile?? I personally don't mind the ads and it would be easier just to keep off adblocker. I guess I'm confused because this makes it feel like some Nasties are better than other Nasties?
You can easily get it for a dollar. Its pretty great and i dont think s& m want to this to be some nasties are greater than other nasties.
katibear - 3 months ago
I guess I'm confused… if everyone does it for a dollar will that take money away from simon and martina?
IvanaM - 3 months ago
first of all… NO ADS! yeeeeey!
second this commenting system is so much mre user friendly. I didn't comment so much when it was the old one it was too complicated. Now you are gonna see much more of my name here.
Lovely! Looking forward to seeing you around :D
bobinlisa - 3 months ago
Well I was already dubbed an epic nasty by other nasties after k con cause of the bloopers with my spudgy dog that was part of my costume to dress up like and opposite martina, ended up being almost the whole bloopers. Why am I so broke. next time guies. also seriously what happened to that fur-real spudgy I gave you?did he end up left in a hotel garbage?

You guide are awesome you really treasure your fans. :)
abokado - 3 months ago
Oh, wow! I was starting to get worried by this, but then I watched the video and it's totally awesome! The pay-what-you-want model is really great and awesome and is the best option as not to exclude any members. Before I buy the membership (I actually don't mind the ads at all, so it would be purely to support you which I definitely love to do without having to buy shirts!), I wanted to ask, is it possible to change the amount later on? I'm a bit broke right now, but I would definitely drop a few more bucks next month or so, but I would wait if it's a done deal if you buy it.
Cobweb - 3 months ago
I'm in the same boat as you on this (y'argh nasty pirates!) and although I can't afford much at the moment I would like to be able to donate more when I can. I guess we could always just buy a t-shirt or something when we have more of the shiny and papery goodness? That still contributes after all. I think. It does, right? Right?!
BakerStBabe - 3 months ago
This is why you guise are totally awesome! I have never followed youtubers before, but you guise keep it real and really create an EYK family, which makes me totally stoked to support the site.
Thank you for that! We've never thought of you guise as just viewers or fans. We've always thought of you all as friends and family. We're just trying to make the family as comfortable in our house as possible :D

I'm lovin' this new system! :D Super cool way to support you guise whenever an whereever we are located. I was also having lots of troubles with that Disqus(ting) thing MANY times, so I'm truly greatful for the effort you have put into this :) I'm gonna keep on supporting you guise this way, so even if i can't afford a T-shirt (or 3) then I can still support what you do by updating this membership. That equals to so much NASTINESS that words aren't enough <3
Duncan113 - 3 months ago
Note the Nasty next to my name. I am now officially cool. Or Nasty, one of the two.
I think you're both :D
Haha me too! Loving the nasty badge!
And oh, I just tried this on mobile and it looks awesome! EYK… you guise are amazing! Good job!

Tbh i don't mind the Ads as i get super-fast broadband here ;D (oh you so jelly jelly, oh you so jelly jelly) my site pop up quick as a flash so can hold of for a little longer to become a premium nasty :D
Kyle Cargill - 3 months ago
Really loving, the new site and of course the comment system :D Would love to contribute, but as of now. . . . I be a poor student who studies Korean . . . but hopefully will be able to contribute in future, maybe when i visit your guys new coffee shop :D cannot wait for that. Well done Simon and Martina i look forward to all your amazing adventures in the future. Love you both. And of course love to the Meems, Spudgy, Soozee and Leigh <3
fuuko4869 - 3 months ago
Wait, can you see how much we pay? Cos I tried to think up a nerdy amount. Or does it automatically convert into Won? Oh no!! My special numbers!!
The 'pay what you want' is super cool. Best idea ever. You guys totally outdid yourselves with that, I really didn't see it coming. Yah.
Nic My Korean Husband - 3 months ago
Hugh and I were wondering this! Like if we paid the smallest amount possible and then saw Simon and Martina and they were like "Soooooooo you cheapskates paid the lowest amount possible!" So then we made sure we paid more than that haha.
It's in US dollars (and judging by the badge, you figured that out quickly). Haha I couldn't bring myself to pay as little as possible so I put in a few more dollars.
Chantel - 3 months ago
Yeah! Premium Nasty! Now it's easier on my iPhone! While I couldn't pay much because I am a poor college student. I did pay more than $1.00, just because I love you guys. <3

floxyfoxfixes - 3 months ago
I wasn't going to get the premium because I don't mind adds or need the special things that come with it, but you guys literally made the nicest request for it I could possibly think of and I can tell you guys are trying really hard to make eyk a great place for anyone interested in Korea. Even though I'm not huge on kpop, your videos have certainly helped me settle in for my summer abroad here and helped me get to know more about Korea and especially K-indie, so I guess my payment is just a thank you from me <3

And congratulations on how far you've come! I really hope that I'll be able to visit Korea one day and see you guys while I'm there :D
Tiger - 3 months ago
This is awesome! At first I was sure I wasn't going to get the premium membership, but that changed when you said we can choose the amount ourselves. For some reason, even though I may or may not have payed more than a standard membership would have cost, I feel like I'm showing my appreciation for your site and hard work by paying a little bit, rather than "having to pay for certain features". Um well anyway, I appreciate it! You're awesome :3
Angelspatience - 3 months ago
Been watching you guys for so long, just so glad we Nasty's get another oportunity to return some of the love you guys are always sharing with us! And I'm going to be honest as much as the ads are important to you guys for your revenue, and I click and watch them as often as I could bear and ad free site is so nice!!!!!!!
NaToTheWak - 3 months ago
Thank you so much for the ad-free version ! I've always wanted to support you guise, so I let the ads but I hate that… Finally I have an easy way to support you directly, without feeding an over-consumption system !
Hooray! We hope you like the cleaner version. Woot!

Well, thank you for commenting now! We really appreciate the support. We'll keep trying to make more awesomer stuffz!
Solistari - 3 months ago
I was super nervous when I saw this post. I'm a Masters student with no job at the minute and life's a bit crap. I come to your site to cheer me up and my heart just sank when I saw this. But it really shows how flexible and appreciative you are of your fans by taking on a 'pay-as-you-can' model. I can safely say that, while I'll be starting off my premium nasty life pretty cheaply, I'll definitely be upping my payment once I've got myself a job. Thank you for being so considerate. It means a lot to me!
It means a lot more to us that you want to support what we do. Thank you :D
I know that feeling. I'm just about ready to cement myself into more years at university with my 2nd postgrad degree and like you, am happy this is the membership model they chose.

Yay!! It sucked not being able to comment for ages, and having AdBlock on for a bit because the site was buggy also made me a bit sad but now with the paid option… Imma so happy ^^ Thanks for all the work you guise have done, and keep doing behind the scenes for us Nasties!
Thank you for your support and for contributing! I like your new Nasty badge :D

jubri - 3 months ago
When I saw the title of this post I got a feeling of dread because premium usually means pay for previously free content but I'm so happy and proud that you went with the pay-what-you-feel-it's-worth system! I disabled my adblock for you and I totally understand that running this webiste costs money for you. So fair enough! EYK means a lot to me. Kpop idols are called idols but you two are my real idols. I talk about you and mentioned you to the people around you as if you were friends of mine. I've learned a lot from the experiences you've shared with us and a lot of what you say makes me think about how I live my life and what the world should be like. No, seriously. I said this in the letter I sent with my package from Costa Rica last year: every country and every culture should have its Simon&Martina and the world is a better place with people like you in it. Thank you for being you.
Thank you for the lovely comment. You can't believe how nervous we were in working on this. I'm glad you're not upset by it. We tried to make it as fair as possible. Thank you!

Computing and Statistical Data Analysis
2013/2014 University of London Postgraduate
Time & Place: The lectures take place at UCL, Mondays 3:00 to 6:00, starting on 30 September, UCL Physics/Union Building D103. this is on the first floor of Union (see the map here, ref. D1).
Minor change to course structure: For the first four weeks, we will use the time from 3 to 4:30 for statistics and from 4:30 to 6 for computing. This should allow us to finish the C++ part of the course within 4 weeks.
The computing part of the course is optional for the PhD students (check with your supervisor) but mandatory for the MSci/MSc students.
From week five the lectures on statistical data analysis will continue now from 3 to 5. The hour from 5 to 6 will be reserved for discussion and if needed, overflow material from the lectures.
Aims: This series of lectures is intended for PhD students in Particle Physics and it also forms the University of London MSci course PH4515. The purpose of the lectures on probability and statistics is to present the basic mathematical tools needed for the analysis of experimental data. The methods will be practiced by writing and running short computer programs.
Although the examples used in the course often relate to particle physics this is done in a relatively simple way and MSci students from other physics areas should not find this too great a difficulty.
Syllabus: A general outline of the course topics.
Problem sheets:
The coursework will be due on the days of our lectures so you can hand it in to me then (on paper). Please write clearly on the top of the page your name, college, and degree programme (MSci, MSc or PhD). Emailed coursework submissions are only allowed if for some reason you are unable to attend the lecture, in which case the entire assignment must be contained in a single pdf file with all of the relevant information.
Notes, books, etc.: Copies of lectures are available below -- you can print them out and bring them to the lectures. For computing there are many other web based references, e.g.,
This book has its own web site, which contains various data analysis resources. Also useful are:
Books on multivariate methods:
You can also download the sections on probability, statistics, and Monte Carlo (pdf files) from the Review of Particle Physics by the Particle Data Group (K. Nakamura et al., J. Phys. G 37 (2010) 075021).
Here is an introductory paper on Bayesian statistics: G. Cowan, Data analysis: Frequently Bayesian. Physics Today, Vol. 60, No. 4. (2007), pp. 82-3.
Archives: The archived course page for the 2003 lectures. Materials from the 2003 data analysis tutorial can be found here.
Lecture Notes (2012):
Computing: Some info on how to log into the RHUL particle physics linux machine linappserv0 from the teaching lab or your own computer is available here. To set up a unix environment on a windows computer you can download and install cygwin from here. To make sure you select the required packages and install everything correctly please look at the information here, which is based on the recent email that updates the info that was here.
Once you have your account on linappserv0 you connect from any other networked linux machine with
ssh -X firstname.lastname@example.com
where for "username" you substitute your login name, and then enter your password. You will have been given information on computer security and on how to change your password. It is your responsibility to read and follow these rules.
Your default shell is bash. Your account should have in the home directory a file called .bash_profile (check this with ls -la). If it isn't there, you can copy this .bash_profile to your home directory. This defines certain aliases and environment variables automatically when you log in. In particular, it defines the environment variable ROOTSYS, which you need for the ROOT programs we will use.
You can also copy to your home directory the file .emacs, which will set some defaults for the emacs editor.
Using ROOT: A simple standalone C++ program for creating histograms with ROOT classes can be found here. (For installation of ROOT libraries, set-up, etc. see your local particle physics & computing guru.) More information on root, especially on the interactive program, can be found on the root home page; also the ROOT class index is very useful. Some material from a tutorial given by Tania McMahon can be found here (see the file ROOTtutorial.pdf). And here are the slides from Adrian Bevan's lectures on Unix and ROOT.
And here are some more resources I've found useful:

To Imprison Us All…
(NaturalNews) "To imprison us all" is a poem by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, written to counter the loss of liberty currently being witnessed across all levels of society:
To imprison our memories, they gave us revisionist history.
To imprison our present-day minds, they made us drink fluoride.
To imprison our biology, they gave us prescription medications.
To imprison our ideas, they created intellectual property laws.
To imprison our legal identities, they created social security numbers.
To imprison our children, they gave us vaccines.
To imprison our mental health, they gave us psychiatry.
To imprison our agriculture, they created genetically modified seeds.
To imprison our soils, they created chemical pesticides.
To imprison our sense of self worth, they created fashion and cosmetics.
To imprison our speech, they created SOPA.
To imprison our persons and effects, they created the TSA.
To imprison our protests, they created the NDAA.
To imprison our productivity, they created the IRS.
To imprison our money supply, they created the Federal Reserve.
To imprison our financial future, they created endless debt.
To imprison our consumption habits, they created television advertising.
To imprison our perspective, they created television news.
To imprison our medical professionals, they created medical schools.
To imprison scientific truth, they created science journals.
To imprison our teenage boys, they created violent video games.
To imprison our teenage girls, they created Gardasil.
To imprison our online interactions, they created search engine profiling and tracking technology.
To imprison our sex, they created sexual dysfunction diseases.
To imprison our foods and farms, they created the Health Department.
And then,
To secure the prisons against resistance, they passed gun restriction laws.
To quell dissent, they taught the masses to be dehumanized and dumbed-down.
To solidy their arrogance over the masses, they erected a scientific dictatorship.
To ensure blind obedience, they positioned government as savior.
While the prisons were numerous and carefully constructed,
No matter how hard they tried,
They could not imprison our souls.
And once we recognized the prisons,
And identified those responsible for building them,
We rose up against them,
Setting free our minds,
Our bodies
Our children
Our productivity
Our liberties
And our futures.
We are Americans. To imprison us all…
Is inconceivable.

TSA deploys 'VIPR' teams throughout Tennessee to set up illegal security checkpoints on interstates
by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) When the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced last year that it would soon begin setting up security checkpoints in places other than just airports, it definitely was not joking. News Channel 5 in Nashville, Tenn., has announced that Tennessee is the official inaugural state for the launch of TSA's new Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program, which will be setting up security checkpoints along interstates to conduct random (illegal) searches of vehicles.
TSA set up one of its first VIPR checkpoints in Tampa, Fla., last December after announcing to the world its plans to expand illegal searches to all aspects of American life. Presumably a test to see how the public would respond. VIPR teams groped and patted down passengers at a local Greyhound bus station, and they even brought in sniff dogs to add an extra layer of intimidation (http://www.naturalnews.com/030596_T…).
Later on during the summer of 2011, TSA announced again its plans to search innocent Americans at train stations, bus stops, and truck stops. At that time, TSA requested 12 more units to add to its fleet of VIPR teams, most of which had still not necessarily been deployed (http://www.naturalnews.com/032778_T…).
Just a few months after that, the National Football League (NFL) announced that it would be implementing TSA VIPR checkpoints at all 32 NFL stadiums across the country. The procedures at these checkpoints subjected football fans to full-body pat downs similar to what air travelers face at US airports (http://www.naturalnews.com/033598_N…).
And now an entire state has succumbed to the encroachment of the illegitimate US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its unlawful violations of the Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments to the US Constitution. VIPR teams have already been deployed to five truck weigh stations and two bus stations across Tennessee, with more soon to come.
Random security checkpoints, perpetual paranoia about terrorists around every corner, a rogue government that is pressing citizens to spy on each other and report their activities to authorities — these are all protocols that took effect in Nazi Germany during the rise of Hitler, and they are all protocols that are now in effect in the US today. Think about it.

Life After An EMP Attack: No Power, No Food, No Transportation, No Banking And No Internet
Most Americans do not know this, but a single EMP attack could potentially wipe out most of the electronics in the United States and instantly send this nation back to the 1800s. If a nuclear bomb was exploded high enough in the atmosphere over the middle part of the country, the electromagnetic pulse would fry electronic devices from coast to coast. The damage would be millions of times worse than 9/11. Just imagine a world where nobody has power, most cars will not start, the Internet has been fried, the financial system is offline indefinitely, nobody can make any phone calls and virtually all commerce across the entire country is brought to a complete stop. A nation that does not know how to live without technology would be almost entirely stripped of it at that point. Yes, this could really happen. An EMP attack is America's "Achilles heel", and everyone around the world knows it. It is only a matter of time before someone uses an EMP weapon against us, and at this point we are pretty much completely unprepared.
The sad thing is that we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars hunting down "terrorists" in caves on the other side of the globe and we have been told that because of "national security" it is necessary for our private areas to be touched before we are allowed to get on an airplane, but our government is doing essentially nothing to address what is perhaps our biggest security vulnerability.
What would you and your neighbors do if the power went out and it did not ever come back on?
What would you do if an EMP attack happened in the middle of the winter and you suddenly were not able to heat your home any longer?
What would you do if all the electronics in your car got fried and you simply could not drive anywhere?
What would you do if all the supermarkets in your area shut down because food could not be transported across the country anymore?
What would you do if you were suddenly unable to call your family and friends for help?
What would you do if you were suddenly unable to get the medicine that you needed?
What would you do if your debit cards and credit cards simply did not work any longer and you could not get any of your money out of the bank?
What would you do if all of these things happened all at once?
A single EMP attack would be the worst disaster that the United States has ever seen by far.
An electromagnetic pulse could potentially fry the vast majority of all the microchips in the United States. In an instant, nearly all of our electronic devices would be rendered useless.
Yes, the federal government knows all about this. The following excerpt is from an April 2008 report by the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack….
"The consequences of lack of food, heat (or air conditioning), water, waste disposal, medical, police, fire fighting support, and effective civil authority would threaten society itself."
Most of us have become completely and totally dependent on electricity and technology. Without it, most of us would be in huge trouble.
The following is how an article in the Wall Street Journal described the potential consequences of an EMP attack….
No American would necessarily die in the initial attack, but what comes next is potentially catastrophic. The pulse would wipe out most electronics and telecommunications, including the power grid. Millions could die for want of modern medical care or even of starvation since farmers wouldn't be able to harvest crops and distributors wouldn't be able to get food to supermarkets. Commissioner Lowell Wood calls EMP attack a "giant continental time machine" that would move us back more than a century in technology to the late 1800s.
It wouldn't be so bad if we had the knowledge and the infrastructure to live the way that they did back in the 1800s, but today that is simply not the case.
Dr. William Graham was Ronald Reagan's science adviser and the chairman of the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack. Dr. Graham believes that in the event of a large scale EMP attack, the vast majority of Americans would either freeze, starve or die from disease.
According to Graham, in the aftermath of an EMP attack life in America "would probably be something that you might imagine life to be like around the late 1800s but with several times the population we had in those days, and without the ability of the country to support and sustain all those people."
Would you be able to survive?
All of those big bank accounts may never be able to be recovered after an EMP attack. Your money might be instantly fried out of existence.
The following is what Graham believes would happen to the financial system in the event of an EMP attack….
"Most financial records are stored electronically. ATMs, which depend upon both power and telecommunications, would not be available; banks, which try to back up records but in general aren't strongly aware of the EMP problem, would face the problem of unprotected storage and computer systems"
This is the danger of having a financial system that is so dependent on technology. We may wake up one day and find that all the money is gone.
But if an EMP attack actually happened, the biggest concern for most of us would be trying to figure out how to survive.
The president of the Center for Security Policy, Frank Gaffney, is convinced that a single EMP attack could result in the deaths of the vast majority of the population of the United States….
"Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can't support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity"
Are you starting to get a feel for the scope of the problem?
The sad thing is that so much could be done to protect this country from an EMP attack.
Right now, most vital U.S. military infrastructure has at least some protection from an EMP attack.
But the general population has been left completely and totally vulnerable.
It has been estimated that the entire power grid could potentially be protected for about 20 billion dollars. Considering the fact that we have spent over 400 billion dollars in Afghanistan, I think that we could afford it.
We have spent our national security dollars very, very badly and someday it is going to come back to bite us in the rear end.
Right now, other nations around the world are working feverishly to develop EMP weapons. The following is from a statement by Dr. Peter Vincent Pry to the United States Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security on March 8th, 2005….
Russian and Chinese military scientists in open source writings describe the basic principles of nuclear weapons designed specifically to generate an enhanced-EMP effect, that they term "Super-EMP" weapons. "Super-EMP" weapons, according to these foreign open source writings, can destroy even the best protected U.S. military and civilian electronic systems.
But it is not just Russia and China that have been developing "Super-EMP" weapons. According to Newsmax, it is believed that North Korea may have tested a "Super-EMP" weapon back in 2009….
North Korea's last round of tests, conducted in May 2009, appear to have included a "super-EMP" weapon, capable of emitting enough gamma rays to disable the electric power grid across most of the lower 48 states
Remember, all it would take is one strategically placed EMP attack to wipe out this nation.
But an EMP weapon is not the only danger that can produce this type of effect. The truth is that a really bad geomagnetic storm could also potentially produce almost as much damage.
This is something that everyone knows is one of our biggest vulnerabilities and it is something that we can make preparations for.
Yet the Bush administration and the Obama administration have just stood there and have done nothing.
Our idiocy is astounding.
General Eugene Habiger, the former head of U. S. Strategic Command, has said the following about the possibility of an EMP attack in the future….
"It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when."
Remember, this is something that could cause millions times more damage than 9/11 did.
Instead of molesting old ladies at airports and chasing goat herders around the mountains of Afghanistan, perhaps we should be addressing our largest security vulnerabilities.
But that would require using some common sense. Sadly, common sense seems to be in very short supply in Washington D.C. these days.
So if the government is not going to do anything about it, that means that it is up to you to prepare yourself and your family. This world is becoming very unstable and disasters can strike at any time.
We all saw what happened after Hurricane Katrina. The government response was a nightmare. An EMP attack would be millions of times worse and the federal government probably would not even be able to get you and your family any assistance.
You would truly be on your own.
So are you ready?
This is yet another reason why the number of preppers in the United States is exploding. A lot of people can see how the world is changing and they understand that the federal government is not going to come through for them when the chips are down.
An EMP attack could end life as we know it at any time.
It is a glaring security vulnerability and the entire world knows that it is there.
I hope that you are getting ready, because the government certainly is not.

Jennifer Hudson is still in London promoting her new album, "I Remember Me."
She performed for a packed house of fans and celebrity guests at The Club at The Ivy last night to celebrate the release of her new album.
JHud looked outstanding wearing a fitted Issa dress.
The striped dress was paired with Nicholas Kirkwood black patent ankle boots and M.C.L. by Matthew Campbell Laurenza jewelry.
I think this look is BDOTW worthy. She's radiant.
For those of you who have said you're tired of her wearing fitted bandage dresses, is this type of dress a refreshing change for you?
