Build Muscle With Strengthening Exercises
How Quickly Do Resistance Exercises Work?
It takes about 2 weeks for your muscles to get used to resistance exercise. During this time, allow for a day or two off for rest after training.
Your muscles need that rest period to get stronger. If you work out daily, you will end up exhausted and sore, making injury, strains, and sprains more likely.
If you stick with your strengthening program, within a few weeks you'll start to feel stronger, have better posture, and have noticeable muscle definition.
Listen to Your Body
Only you know how much weight or resistance you can handle during exercise.
You need to choose weights and exercises that fit your size and ability.
If the weight or movement feels like it's too much, then it's too much. Stop, and let your body rest. The next time you work out, start with a lower weight (or no weight). You should feel like you're challenging yourself without causing too much stress on your body.

Adele Craves Sex, Loves Alec Baldwinby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Really, this is Adele's world. We just live in it.
The superstar dominated this weekend's Grammy Awards, taking home six trophies and returning from throat surgery to wow the crowd with a rendition of "Rolling in the Deep."
Now, Adele is looking beautiful on the cover of Vogue and reeling off one memorable soundbite after another. We've posted a number of them below...
On performing: "I'm nervous whenever I perform. But seeing that it will be the first time opening my mouth again onstage in front of my peers? I'm shittin' myself. You can see the fear behind my eyes... The more records I sell and the bigger this all gets, the bigger the shows get. It's like a vicious cycle."
On faults as a girlfriend: "I love a bit of drama. That's a bad thing. I can flip really quickly. I am not bipolar, but I go from 'Oh, my God, I love you' to 'Get the fuck out of my house!' really quickly. And I never sit there and talk about it. I give them the silent treatment."
On pluses as a girlfriend: "I am attentive. I will do anything for my man. I am a good cook. I'm funny. Always want to have sex."
On her personality: "People think that I'm f-cking miserable. They are really surprised when they meet me that I'm chatty and bubbly and kind of quite carefree really. I'm the total opposite of my records."
On her celebrity crush: "I love Alec Baldwin. Oh, my God, I've got the biggest crush on him in that film. He's so sexy."
On Beyonce: "She's been a huge and constant part of my life as an artist since I was about 10 or 11. I love how all of her songs are about empowerment. Even when she's married and Jay-Z put a ring on it, she releases 'Single Ladies.' Go get yours. Go get what you deserve. I think she's really inspiring."
hi I love your music.
I think adele is the most beautiful creator in the universe. Why do u all have to hate! What what
i love you....
Lady gaga does have talent she can play piano eosawme she puts on a great show which entertains. Adele Has the angels voice she down to earth. They are both nice and caring stop hating only person to hate is justin bieber
Amazing voice...she belts it out the like Patsy Cline, with the presence of a Wynonna Ryder. Looking forward to lots more from her.
Where did her cheeks go? Adele is gorgeous all on her own. Vogue has disfigured her---how insulting. They made her face half chin. Compare this cover with one that came out in Oct for British Vogue, I believe. This did not have to happen. I guess American Vogue thinks that in the year 2012 there is still only one type of beauty-----EMACIATED!! Shame on them! Adele rules!!!
Can you spell A-I-R-B-R-U-S-H????? She is a lovely woman in her own right, but it looks like somebody in the photo lab got carried away with the Photo Shop!
Sing that is
I had heard her name but never heard her sign until the awards. All I can say is WOW. I have listen to the song over 50 times since she preformed and even received the CD today. What power in her voice and she seems to be so a good person as well. I wish you the best and can't wait until I can hear you in person. You rocked the house and so glad you won them all, well deserved. You go Gal,
Markai & Angry Uzer - Would love to hear you sing. Bet neither of you could hold a candle to this woman's amazing voice.

Marc Stein of ESPN reported via Twitter that the Celtics "covet" Orlando Magic shooting guard J.J. Redick.
Size obviously Celts' priority if they do deal before Feb. 21 trade deadline but word is they hope to work way into Redick mix if they can
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) January 25, 2013
With news that Rajon Rondo is now out for the season, this may be even more so the case. Redick is averaging a career high 4.4 assists per game this year. With Rondo due to miss the remainder f the season, Redick's ability to create shots for his teammates would help Boston save what could be a disastrous postseason sans Rondo.
Moving forward, the 28-year-old Redick would figure into Boston's short and long-term plans. The Celtics rank 28th in the league in three point production, with only 16.5 points per game coming from distance. Redick would immediately ameliorate that shortcoming and help the C's hit more from outside.
The problem for the Celtics may be how much Orlando is likely to ask in return for the Duke product. The Magic reportedly required both Derrick Williams and a first-round pick from Minnesota, so one would assume they would ask for a package of similar intrigue from Danny Ainge.
Jared Sullinger would obviously have mass appeal to a rebuilding team, and it wouldn't be too surprising if the Magic sought to bring back Courtney Lee in the deal, as he thrived in Orlando to start his NBA career.
Lee left as a fan favorite in Orlando, and though his
promise as a player isn't as high as people were billing it his rookie season with the Magic, Lee could find a home in Jacque Vaughn's rotation as a great backup for sharpshooter Aaron Afflalo.
Danny Ainge must realize that to get Redick, he's going to have to part with some talent, and that Rob Hennigan won't back down and accept a weak offer from a team like the C's who have some assets.
Sullinger and Lee is a good salary match and works under the cap for both teams.
The Hollinger analysis on ESPN's Trade Machine predicts that the Celtics would improve by one win in the win-column, while the Magic would get four losses worse with the potential deal.
Maybe that's exactly what they want in Orlando, with contention nowhere on the immediate horizon.

Engaging Mars a Great Trek for Parents, Children
- Monday, August 13, 2007
As a result, Roving Mars is an engaging, well-made film that will interest even young children, provided parents are willing to narrate what is happening on-screen (and maybe fast-forward past the 'boring' parts, for very young viewers). My five-year-old was positively riveted, and immediately declared that she wanted to be a scientist. (Of course, a few weeks ago, she wanted to be a princess, so I haven't started downloading M.I.T. applications just yet.)
Roving Mars would also make an excellent educational tool for home-school groups, especially if the kids were first prepared with lessons about the planets and/or space exploration. Don't forget the additional DVD features, which include short educational films. And be sure to remind them as well that one day, one of their peers will probably be the first man to walk on Mars. It might even be them.

Home / Sabic extends research ties with Swiss institute
Sabic extends research ties with Swiss instituteby Jyotsna Ravishankar on Jan 27, 2013
Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) has expanded its multi-year agreement with ETH Zurich under an umbrella agreement signed in Zurich, Switzerland for multiple future projects in a wide range of areas in technology and innovation.
SABIC had entered into a research collaboration agreement with the Swiss university last year in the field of functional materials and nanotechnology. The new agreement will strengthen this research alliance and allow the two sides to enter into strategic partnerships.
The agreement will allow Sabic to develop advanced technologies into innovative solutions to meet global market needs and demands in many societal areas, said a company statement.
Ernesto Occhiello, Executive Vice President, Sabic Technology and Innovation, said that collaborative projects with well-established scientific organizations and research centers are an essential part of SABIC's research programme.
"These initiatives enable us to draw on knowledge and expertise from across the globe and for SABIC researchers to work with world class teams of scientists in the respective joint research areas," he said.
ETH Zurich regularly appears on the top of international university rankings. Twenty one Nobel Laureates have studied, taught or conducted research at the university, underlining the outstanding reputation of the institute.

Goldstar Member's Event Journal
The Australian Bee Gees Show
Tuesday May 17, 2011 / 7:00pmThe Australian Bee Gees Show
1 ticket
VIP Seating
3850 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Las Vegas, NV 89109
How was your experience?
The Australian Bee Gees Show was not memorable by any stretch of the imagination. The group members look like the brothers Gibb, but their voices are just not up to par. They do get an A for effort, as they were determined to get the audience into their performance. If you don't have anything better to do while on the Strip in LV, & you're a Bee Gees fan, give it a look.

These are calligraphy felt markers with the chisel-shaped point. I have been using them for years and have been very satisfied. Yes, I have my old Osmiroid fountain pens and some others for formal work, but for something to carry around in your pocket that you can count on not leaking yet still give you good quality on the spot, I keep coming back to these markers by Speedball. Unlike hard metal nibs, you can rotate the point to get an extremely fine line at all angles, so they work for a good everyday pen too. They've gotten hard to find lately so I was happy to see that Overstock.com still had them available.
Great product and great service. I would purchase more products from Overstocked.

Don't pork chop me, bro! »
One thing I've learned from writing for Vegansaurus is that there are a lot of different ideas about what's offensive and what's not. I've had to alter my language a bit—I don't write "lame" on here anymore! Not that you cared to notice. BUT my brother and I were talking about all the word-sensitivities and he said we should come up with our own vocab for these things! Problem solved! I like it. Among his suggestions were "Stop pork-chopping me" and "I'm not vealing that," both very useful. You guys got any ideas? How about something like "cheddar-pusher?" Ooh, or "cow-nippler!" Bring the brisket, yo—I want to hear more!
This is not super related but this whole thing reminds me of the Mr. Show sketch:

Peta wants to rename the Tenderloin, I say go for it »
SFist published this letter that Peta sent to the mayor of the fair San Francisco:
March 29, 2011
The Honorable Edwin M. Lee
Mayor of San Francisco
Via e-mail
Dear Mayor Lee,
I am writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 2 million members and supporters, including thousands in the Bay Area, with an idea that could help revitalize the struggling Tenderloin district: rename it the "Tempeh District." By discarding an outdated moniker that evokes the horrors of the meat trade, you'll be sending a strong message to progressive businesses and health-conscious residents that this neighborhood is ready for a fresh start.
Tempeh, a protein-packed food made from soybeans, is a healthy, cruelty-free meat substitute. In contrast, tenderloin comes from real suffering. In today's intensive meat production industry, piglets have their tails and testicles cut off without being given any painkillers and breeding sows are confined for life to metal crates so small they can't even turn around or take two steps. Cattle are burned with hot irons, their horns are cut or burned off, and males are castrated—all without painkillers.
It's true that the Tenderloin echoes vice and corruption and that slaughterhouses are constantly found to be in violation of the law and more. But now's the perfect time to put the city's past in the deep freeze. San Francisco is now renowned for some of the best vegan cuisine in the world, and the city deserves a neighborhood named after a delicious cruelty-free food instead of the flesh of an abused animal. If Tempeh doesn't excite you, how about Granola Flats or Seitan's Lair? You could even run a contest to choose a veggie moniker.
Sincerely yours,
Tracy Reiman
Executive Vice President
Thoughts? I think it's HILARIOUS! But I'm the resident Peta antics fan. And I also have a passion for renaming things. Some people in the SFist's comments have some good neighborhood renaming ideas (though I wouldn't read all the comments, they are likely to offend) like we could call Hunters Point "Gatherers Point."
In reality, I wouldn't rename the Tenderloin the "Tempeh District" but a name change might be just the thing to revitalize the area! People are acting like it's crazy but neighborhood names come and go and any time you want to gentrify an area, you GOT to change the name, or at least find an old name like Northern Liberties and bring it back. What was the name of the Tenderloin neighborhood like 150 years ago? Though I'm fine with the standard "Gayborhood" as far as gentrifying usually goes.

Redefining vegetarianism: Oh NO he didn't! »
Chef Yotam Ottolenghi, who I've never heard of, is redefining vegetarianism. BECAUSE HE CAN. JUST KIDDING who the fuck is he? I know you're on TV, Mr. Ottolenghi, but your name isn't Webster, bitch, you're not the damn dictionary. Get it straight: you can always make up NEW words but not just anyone can redefine old words. Like if I want to make up the word "sandwish" (1. the sandwich you wish you had; 2. fictitious sandwich you dream of), that's cool (actually, that's awesome and you're welcome), but you can't run around saying a slice of pizza can now be called a sandwich! THAT'S CRAZY TALK and NARCISSISM.
Here he goes, "'You can be vegetarian and eat fish,' he says. 'It's your choice, just say: "I am what I am." There are no hard core divisions any more.'" As a Popeye fan, I'm all for I am what I am, but if you eat fish, what you am ain't a vegetarian. What you are is someone who doesn't eat any meat besides fish. How hard is that to say? It's no more difficult than saying "I'm vegetarian but I eat fish" and it has the bonus of not being TOTAL BULLSHIT.

Humyo cloud disappears from afternoon sky
Europe's largest online storage provider, Humyo, has been offline all afternoon due to a multi-terabyte database rebuild. Humyo is an online, "store-your-data-in-the-cloud" service that was started up by Dan Conlon in January 2007. It has more than 300,000 customers using its facilities. Conlon funded it himself using money he …
a screw-up like that should kill the company
Not just because someone made a mistake and messed up the database, but because their architecture (god, I hate that word .... I should've said "design") didn't allow for a single point of failure.
If you're making a business of holding customers' data, it's *got* to be available ALL THE TIME. While outages due to external events - such as internet failures are a pain, anything internal to the business just reeks of amateurism. This shower should step out of the way and let the professionals do the job.
Cloud outage
I'm going to make millions by building a device that guards against inevitable outages by downloading all the data from your cloud repository to a local disk. iCloudstore2.0 - $399 & $29.99 per month.
...doesn't sound nearly as impressive as it used to, given that my crappy home theater computer has 1.5tb online, not including network storage...
Show me a multi-PETABYTE database rebuild and we'll talk.
<anti-cloud flame>
(the usual rant about not trusting other people with all your data)
Oh for heavens sake
I use Humyo. It is quite good, although the upload by adsl is tedious. It sounds like they had a bad experience and are doing everything they can to put it right. And, even you acknowledge, no data will be lost.
That's actually bloody clever of someone. Can you imagine any of the government systems managing to do that? in 60 to 120 minutes?
Look, it's not an iron lung. No-one died. It's not a missile shield or a near-earth-orbit asteroid database. It is where a lot of people hide slightly less than perfectly legal mp3 files, and their holiday snaps.
Why is it so absolutely, positively, definitely so essential that every bit of data in the world has to be available every existing microsecond? Libraries close at night and at weekends. The British museum is closed in the dark. Even the prime minister goes on holiday.
OK, so they fell down on some sales claim. Big deal. I never used it for anything where that mattered. In fact, I have always used it on the assumption they will go bust tomorrow and vanish in a puff of green smoke. And anyone who doesn't is a moron. Lets all get hysterical because the BBC made a claim that Johnathon Ross was funny, or because Golden Delicious apples are Greenish and Inedible. A few vorsprung durch technik motor cars go wrong. Are the rest of them useless as a consequence?
Its time to grow up. It's made by humans. It will be fallible. We do fallible oh so well
Paris, because she is fallible. And because you get less than it says on the box.
Just goes to show...
that cloud computing just feels like a major race to the bottom. If amazon's ec2 goes offline, a lot of businesses would topple and fail. And there is no guarantee that any cloud will stay online, of that if they have to go offline that they would do it nicely. Imagine what would happen if an overzealous Law Enforcement Agency seizes all of the servers in a cloud.
single point of failure.
I design expensive highly available systems (well, I used to before our entire division got laid off a few years ago, now I design really inexpensive highly available systems). The one thing I see in all this is that by using something in the cloud, most SMB are putting EVERYTHING into one basket: their (usually single sourced) internet connection. Then there's the inability to actually audit the practices of the company you're using to store your data - and the therefore inevitable downtime as someone, somewhere, fucks up royally.
Using the cloud as sort of a "hot backup" makes sense to me. Depending on "the cloud" to always be there, and using it to store time sensitive, mission critical data is setting yourself up for failure.
Online storage...
Anyone who uses a service provided (a) over the Internet; and (b) by a third party as their primary storage *deserves* to lose their data.
Humyo service details
Sent to me by Dan Conlon:-
Thanks for your call, we read your article.
Just to let you know - Part of our service is a desktop/laptop client. The software syncs users data between their local disk and the cloud storage.
This means that users using this software, still had access to all their data. Changes they have made to it will sync up to the cloud when they are next online.
The cloud will never be there 100% of the time, whether that be because of the user's Internet connection being down or our data centre being down. Equally, a user's local hard disk will not be there 100% of the time either - hard disks fail, computers get stolen.
So we think that our sync based solution brings the best of both worlds. Your local hard disk is there when the cloud is not and Humyo will be there for you when your local hard disk is not.
Robert is right
Robert E A Harvey is quite correct (and lots of examples too).
If your data is *important* to you and you really need to be able to have access to it at a time of your choosing, then store it on an external drive and carry it with you. An 8GB micro-SD card and a USB adapter can be yours for less than £20 on e-bay and these things are really small. (Yes I did buy one and it does work).
I also have 500GB of network hard drive connected to my home router and the instruction manual says I can set it up for FTP services (though I haven't bothered trying that). If you NEED access to your data, you HAVE to be in control of where it resides and how it is accessed. Equipment and services always fall over at some time, so plan for that.
Did little Bobby Tables log in ?
No Biggie
Every variety of storage fails at some point. The manufacturers of your failed HDD are unlikely to be making your data available again, and even if they can it's with charges and without guarantees.
Users were unable to access their data for a few hours in this case, which I understand is "less-than-optimal". However, the data was still there and now available again.
As the adage says, "Data that isn't backed up, is data you don't need", and anyone who uses online storage as their backup repository probably needs a better backup plan.
RE: Oh for heavens sake
Some of us are not human, we don't make mistakes. Please don't dirty all of us with your rotten views that inadequacy is OK. Its not!
There is a nice little saying that those who aspire for perfection use:
"A wise man learns by his mistakes, but a wiser man learns by others mistakes."
If you use this for everything you do in your life, you make surprisingly few mistakes.
If this bunch of monkeys did the same, understand, the Amazon Cloud and its chums makes mistakes rather regularly. Some of us know shit happens when it designed wrong, it doesn't happen if you invest properly in your plan and don't race it, unlike these and Amazon types.
Lets be fair, Cloud computing is simply wrong and a bad idea.
It is also billed as the primary source of your computing or data. The "stick it all here" type phrases are simply bad, misleading, stupido and asking for it.
Keep a local working copy, and "Sync it to this fluffy cloud" is a much better approach in this instance. But that wont sell will it!
Questions to Reg's Chris Mellor - or indeed any other informed source:
Does this vendor provide SLA agrements for their customers for the services(s) provided?
If so did this outage breach the required service level?
Secondly, does the vendor provide adequate support resources (staff, communications mechanisms) to handle the volume of interest and communication from their customers during a major outage?
What was the experience of users.. did they respond to emails and phone calls with timely, informative and reassuring messages during and after the outage?
I am constantly amazed at our (customers, potential customers) acceptance of very poor levels of service for "cloud services".
What happened to SLAs and decent support?
Why do service providers - from the "free" (ad-supported) through the low-cost and up to the expensive end - appear not to give a hoot about providing a decent level of customer service.
My experience has been that many of these orgs/companies just don't take customer support seriously.. and that many punters appear to accept the poor level of service as though it were "normal".
What do others think on this topic?
Ever tried emailing yahoo or google etc. and getting a human being to answer the question in a timely and useful way?
Human nature
It is mostly a perception problem. just as people accept much higher risks by getting in their own car than they would on a train because *they* are in control, so it is with cloud vs local storage.
It seems their uptime is pretty good compared to to what you'd get with a local PC, plus you don't have to do all that security stuff yourself.
I'd have to agree though, if its just storage you're after, a USB flash drive sounds like quite a good alternative to the cloud.

VIDEO: User Crams 16 TB into SFF Case
Eight HDDs were stuffed into a SFF case.
Looking for server-class storage but just don't want to cough up the room for a towering rack mount? One modder has figured out a way to cram over 16 TB worth of storage into a small form factor (SFF) case. The entire step-by-step process, listed here, has actually landed sponsorship by the likes of NewEgg, Crucial, and others.
Designed by Will Urbina, the project is called Black Dwarf, and consists of a Quanmax KEEX-2030 ECX motherboard powered by an Intel Atom N270. The board also features a PCI-e x4 slot which was filled by a HighPoint Rocket RAID 2680 8-port SATA/SAS raid controller card purchased from Newegg.
As for the storage, Urbina used eight 3.5-inch HDDs, with an additional two 2.5-inch HDDs to be installed later. "In addition to being tasked with storing huge amounts of files on the system's 8 3.5-inch drives, this computer would also be running 24/7 running sharing files on Bit Torrent," he admitted.
To see how he created the Black Dwarf, check out the video--the first part of two--located below. The website also shows a pictorial step-by-step process as well as professional-looking shots of the finished product.

16TB of entirely legitimate stuff to share, for sure
1Spanky Deluxe , April 30, 2010 6:24 PMI hope he's using a decent raid setup because those disks may fail a little early what with all the metal dust and sparks he blew at them while cutting metal etc for the case! I'm also not convinced that the cooling of the hard drives is ideal.
Edit: Just realised after getting towards the end of the second video that the original hard drives there were old scrap ones for sizing reasons so the sparks and dust doesn't matter. Great build!

He probably doesn't have to worry about longevity; with 16TB worth of torrents running he will have all his gear confiscated by the BSA, RIAA, MPAA, or similar agency within the week. Problem solved!

1ksenter , April 30, 2010 6:42 PMWow, he put so much time and effort into this, I don't understand why he didn't leave more space for airflow between the hard drives, and it seems like mounting them at the odd angle would be bad for the motors...

Seriously, what does anyone need with 16TB? And for what he must have spent on those drives, wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy those movies and games?
Still, it was a nice experiment in the "what if" category.
1Anonymous , April 30, 2010 7:18 PMIt also looks like the HD's he had during the build process were old ones, since he brought in the new shipment of individual 2TB drives at the end.

Thankyou so much, I'm working on it! :3 Love how you're helping to keep the kandi thing alive by the way, it rocks. :D
figured this needed posting
for anyone who loves both ponies and old rave breaks
look at the label and read the description. I died happy <3
Thanks so much for featuring us and keeping the classics alive :)
More EqH classics to come soon!
Hi! Gosh, I'd almost forgotten about this blog. That sounds wonderful! Submit at firstname.lastname@example.com, or send a youtube PM to EquestrianHype, cheers. :)
Peace and love to everypony, and to the good times these old tunes gave us.
Hey, if you've landed here first, check the A-side for a full rundown on this track! If you've done things in the right order, proceed :D
I made this remix to go on the b-side, hoping that this more stripped down, darker sound would be more palatable to the more-hardcore-than-thou crowd, because there sure was a rather large air of hardcore snobbery in the lunar rave scene at the time. For alot of DJs if it was too catchy, if it was too tuneful, it was cheesy bollocks for the pop charts they wouldn't be caught dead spinning. This attitude was and is a load of nonsense, but music is business!
And to be fair, I'm one for the darker, harder tunes myself. There's just no need to get all wanky and self important about it.
Hello again fillies and gentlecolts! This week we have another classic rip on the cards, this time a classic rave tune from back in the heydays of late '92.
And boy, was there a lot of buzz back in Tuft Lane Studios back in those days, with Cloudsdale House still remaining popular and the lunar rave movement in Canterlot quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon, we simply couldn't release tunes fast enough.
It was a good time. We'd often have ponies all over the various recording rooms and whatever desk space they could grab, setting up their Amigas, Atari STs, hoofboards, samplers and whatever else have you, all carving out a little space where they could work on their tunes with everypony else. On any given day, the main studio would have half a dozen ponies coming and going, huddled in their corners with their setup, and the floor would rapidly become a death trap of tangled patch cables and empty soda bottles.
Sure, they could have just stayed home and worked in their bedrooms like so many ponies did, but sharing the space, working together and generally keeping each other company was all part of our culture at EqH. Everypony could come in an have a go, and we'd all share our equipment. All very much in the Equestrian custom of sharing and caring! As such, there was plenty of natter and gossip. Catching the ear of intrepid newcomer and multi-genre producer Nostalgia Sound was EqH regular Dj Pon-3's story of how she met and fell in love with her wife, Octavia, and he decided he just had to do a tune about it.
And we're glad he did! Wanting to try his hoof at the new fangled lunar rave sound, but being of a rather more gentler disposition than you're typical hoofcore producer or lunar raver, the resulting track came out more tuneful and euphoric than what the canterlot massiv' were usually bouncing their horns to, something a bit more like the house tunes we'd normally do in Cloudsdale. And as such, some ponies pinpoint this as one of the first "Celestial Rave" tracks, which took the sound and the culture along with it in a more mellow and friendly direction. Some ponies were just sick of all the rawcus and wanted to prove that having a good time and enjoying good dance tunes didn't mean you had to be so irresponsible and "more hardcore than thou". I always did approve of this change, myself. It felt a lot more Equestiran, and their motto of "Love and Tolerance" really sums up what I feel our nation should be about.
Whatever it fits into, this is a capital tune that sold copies on both the celestial and lunar side of things, thanks to the darker, less tuneful dub version of the b-side keeping things harder for the die hard lunars.
Enjoy the tunes, everypony~!
EQU 202 - DJ PON-3 Befriends Psychedelic Brony - Love Poison 3000
Hay again everypony! Back again with another blast from the past, this time hopefully something y'all a bit more likely to remember.
We figured since we recently put out that "Love Poison" track, we'd remind you of another track we once put out with… roughly the same name! Hailing from the mid 90s, this smashing remix was done by a pony that you'll certainly know the name of PON-3, perhaps better known as Vinyl Scratch. Back in the early to mid 90s, she was known around the dance underground for her awesome and varied remixes on our label, working in seemingly a different genre every week!
Then of course she went off to DJ under the name Vinyl Scratch, started releasing epic trance tunes, got too big for us and now is the only DJ most ponies can name! C'est la vie. Still doing awesome work, though, and we're proud someone we signed got to be such a big name.
Anyway, I'm rambling! The big beat flavoured remix of the psychadelic classic "Perfect Stallion" is a toe thumping journey through heavy beats, tin whistles and awesomely fun vocals!
It's original music video, known for its blend of live action and trippy humanist imagery is available at pon-3's very own channel below!

EQU-50 - Chaosthasia/CNTRLT MASSIVE
Back in Feb '92 we were looking for a b-side for Chaosthasia, SSH99 offered his friends new track CNTRLT MASSIVE (canterlock required), and let me tell you, this was quite unlike anything I'd ever heard before. Complex distorted breakbeat rhythms, searing hoovers and booty samples, this track was really rather ahead of its time, and an early example of what would later be called Jungle, but at the time, any hard and dark dance music fell under the banner of "lunar rave", or "that darned blasted noise those foals keep waking me up with!". The freeparty soundsystem, Everfree Colective, used to love this one just for how chaotic it is and how much it confused the dancefloor.
So here's to a classic jungle tune, back in the good old days when you were expected to have more than one drum pattern in your tracks, the fidelity didn't matter and everypony was high on poison joke or stoned on horse tranquiliziers anyway!

EQU-50 - Chaosthasia/CNTRLT MASSIVE
Aw yea, time for a real lunar rave classic - none other than the canterlot anthem, Chaostasia. Originally recorded and released on white label dubplate in 1991, this track always had everypony on the dancefloor asking "what's that tune with the synth that sounds like all the choirs of equestria are screaming at you?" Well, that's what I was asking anyway when I was shaking my drunken plot around some smoke filled basement in the dodgy bit of Canterlot. I just had to have it. And when I found out it didn't even have a proper pressing, I was both appaled and ecstatic! Knew this one was going to finally break Equestrian Hype into the Canterlot scene.
And just that it did. Quickly signing SSH on and pairing it up with DJ FISTBUCK's CNTRLOT MASSIVE, a supprisingly progressive track for '92, with dark, precocious amen rhythms and middle-eastern influences. Well, I'd certainly heard nothing of the sort anyway, and this hard new sound was really quite exciting, let me tell you. It sure as heck confused the dancefloor, but in the best possible way. A tune ahead of its time.
As I predicted, we couldn't press this record quick enough, and Chaostasia quickly became an anthem for the new "Lunar Raver" subculture that was developing in Canterlot at the time, in which rebelious foals such as my younger self were bandning together to hold rediculous open air parties at which they'd blast these harsh new sounds, preach the doctrine of the "New Lunar Republic", get Discord tats dyed into their flanks and wear their manes in the most rediculous fashion. Bolshie teenage rebelion, sure, and the folly of youth, definately, but the movement undeniably resulted in some of the most hard hitting,hoof stomping records to ever come out of Equestria, and is a moment in time we'll probably never capture again.
Fillys and foals, feed your senses with the true spirit of hardcore, and let's get some shout outs from anypony who remembers this big tune.

Q. What if I relocate to a different institution? Can the Award funding be transferred?
A. No, the Award recipient must complete the project at the institution from which the application was submitted.
Q. What do I do if there is money left over at the end of my project?
A. Any unexpended balance at the end of the Award's funding period is due back to the ASE Foundation. This remainder balance payment must take place within three months of the end of the funding period.
Q. What if I don't complete the project during its funding period? Can I apply for an extension?
A. It is the expectation of the ASE Foundation that the project will be completed during the time funding is allocated. However, it is recognized that there can be circumstances beyond the investigator's control that hinder his/her ability to meet the timeline required by the grant. In these situations, it is possible to apply for a no-cost extension. Such a request would require a comprehensive progress report outlining what has been accomplished thus far, what needs to be/will be accomplished during an extension in order to finalize the project (including a timeline for completion), and a budgetary report delineating what remaining funds from the award are still available. A no-cost extension request must be received prior to the end of the award's funding period. Requests received after the funding period has ended will not be considered.

Q. How do I report the results of my research to the ASE Foundation?
A. In accepting funding from the ASE Foundation, all parties involved (including the principal investigator, his/her research team, and the institution) agree to submit an annual, written report outlining the project's progress, funding utilization, and research accomplishments. A template for this report will be provided. The principal investigator also agrees to participate in future ASE educational meetings to present the results of his/her work if so invited.
Q. How do I acknowledge ASE Foundation grant support?
A. Each publication, press release or other document and/or presentation that cites results from ASE Foundation-supported research must include an acknowledgement of grant support and a disclaimer, such as, "The project described was supported by Award Number ____ from the ASE Education and Research Foundation. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the American Society of Echocardiography or the ASE Education and Research Foundation."
ASE Foundation Research Awards
Together, ASE and the ASE Education and Research Foundation have expended over $5 million to support echocardiographic research activities since 1996. Fostering and promoting research on advances in cardiovascular ultrasound continues to remain one of the Society's fundamental goals moving forward.
Through the annual research award program, the ASE Foundation provides support for innovative and meritorious cardiovascular research activities that demonstrate echocardiography's relevance in the changing healthcare environment, and that promote new and innovative applications of the technology.
The ASE Foundation's annual research awards program is supported solely by donor giving and is not sponsored by any corporate interest.
The ASE Foundation's Award Selection Committee is comprised of 30 recognized experts in the field of cardiovascular ultrasound. When reviewing proposals for Awards, steps are taken to ensure that potential conflicts of interest, such as a reviewer working at the same institution as the proposal's investigators, are avoided. Committee members with a potential conflict of interest in relation to a particular proposal are excluded from the review and/or all discussions regarding that proposal, and are not allowed to comment on that proposal's merits or eligibility for funding.

With the TinyTap Social Market users get to experience a full production cycle on their devices. This means that from creating an educational game to playing and eventually sharing or selling it everything takes place on the iPad. This is also open to brands who are now able to offer and sell their content on TinyTap's Social Market.
The TinyTap Social Market makes learning social. Everyone will now have a profile which can be customized with bio and profile picture and used to promote educational TinyTap created content. But what makes this feature particularly powerful is that each game created and shared becomes part of this incredible resource of educational kids games.
Now that the TinyTap Social Market is no longer in beta phase users can expect to find an extensive selection of educational content. "Let's say you're a teacher or simply a parent looking to teach something, anything really, be it numbers or shapes or even colours. Just open the TinyTap Social Market and search our quality user-generated content and if you don't find it you can create it yourself," explained Yogev Shelly, TinyTap CEO, "Our Social Market gives you access to an ever growing resource collaboratively created by teachers and parents all over the word."
From Playing to Creating with Themed Sticker Packs:
Another exciting new feature which has been added to the TinyTap Social Market is themed sticker packs. Each TinyTap game in the TinyTap Social Market now comes with it's own sticker pack. After your child has played a TinyTap game they can use the sticker packs to reinforce what was learnt; recreate aspects of the game or they could even use them to create their own game.
How you choose the sticker packs is up to you and can be tailored to suit the age of the child. You could, for example, just let your little ones play with them as they would with puppets. However you choose to use them, you can rest assured that your child will be actively involved in the learning process.
iPhone - Creation on the go:
TinyTap's latest release also includes the TinyTap iPhone creation platform, compatible with all iPhone models. This works with the in-phone camera and makes it so easy to effectively capture everyday moments. With intuitive three-step game creation the platform is perfect for kids. Everything from functionality to graphics are designed to be 100% child-friendly.
The TinyTap iPhone creation platform allows for on the go game creation and learning. You could be in the park with your kids, on family trip or maybe in the classroom. Wherever you are, TinyTap's iPhone creation tool is perfect to capture moments while still actively involving your kids in the learning process.
TinyTap 1.2 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Walt tried to hit on the principal – which actually makes it even more ludicrous.
i love ths show
His name is WALT not hank and Carmen is the principal, not the guidance counselor
I think you need to correct your use of names — you are referring to Walt as Hank a few times.
Also, why do you need to tell us the convenience store girl is "zaftig" and "chubby"? Why not call Hank "chubby" as well?
the show is wild, Jesse is really cute, Walt's character is strangely interesting, but the wife is such a complete bitch, I'm sick of her cleavage too. Walt's allowing Jane to die like that make me forever hate him, huge unforgivable act. I'm definitely addicted. I hope the show doesn't end up flopping
Chris, boring piece sorry – we know what happened, we saw the show, we are looking for insights when we read blogs and seriously, you lost your credibility getting names and roles wrong.

When the staff at Charlie's Safari claims to have the largest indoor play structure in the area, many will find it hard to argue with them as they look around the 22,000-square-foot jungle-themed facility. Here, kids scamper in, on, and around five levels of brightly-colored mazes and slides, air-filled bouncers, and a two-story laser tag arena. As kids unleash their imaginations, parents escape to their own lodge, secure in the knowledge that their children are being protected by the facility's Code ADAM safety system. Families can refuel at the on-site restaurant, which boasts housemade pizza sauce and corn dog batter. Charlie's Safari also hosts parties to celebrate children turning one year older and one year closer to being able to do their parents' taxes.
The crescendo and decrescendo of buzzing 200cc Subaru Robin engines swing through the interior of Grand Prix Raceway like a pendulum. The noise loudens as the Italian go-karts dart past the checkered starting line, then softens as they speed away at up to 35 miles per hour. Audible during races, parties, and leagues, the karts weave through a winding quarter-mile European-style racetrack that has a banked corner, an AMB computerized scoring and timing system, and enough width to drift through corners without bumping into cops.
Shrieking giggles and scurrying feet fill Odyssey 1?s colorful confines, where tykes enjoy high-energy adventures in an indoor jungle gym, a space-age laser-tag arena, and a buzzing arcade center. Sock-clad kids aged 10 and younger can bound and climb through the jungle gym, which offers swings, slides, ball pits, and a cushy area designed for toddlers. Players dodge a barrage of futuristic beams in the laser-tag arena, open to guests aged 7 and older. Popular games including Guitar Hero and Connect Four await at the game center, where players can harvest tickets redeemable for fun prizes.
The buzz of motors rises and falls as bright-red blurs zip around the track at PGP Motorsports Park. Here, in the shadow of Mount Rainier, racers ages 15 and older loop around an 8/10-mile track at speeds of up to 48 miles per hour, leaning back in the ergonomic seats of Italian-built Birel N35 karts. The 30-foot-wide asphalt track can be altered to take on 12 different configurations and is centered in a velodrome, which puts spectators at an elevated angle so they get a good line of sight no matter where they sit.
For safety reasons, drivers should wear long sleeves and pants and closed-toe shoes. Drivers are equipped with helmets and driving suits, and since races take place rain or shine, they will also be provided with rain gear that includes waterproof gloves and booties.
From three locations, Family Fun Centers & Bullwinkle's Restaurant foster lifelong memories for kids and their caretakers as they bond over bouts of miniature golf, laser-tag shootouts, and bumper-car derbies. Visitors taller than 58 inches challenge each other to go-kart races, while smaller thrill seekers practice Napoleonic siege techniques at the indoor fun fortress. Outside, human slingshots hurl visitors safely through the air in harnessed flights, and indoor rollercoaster simulators re-create the twists and turns of amusement-park rides or malfunctioning monorails. After perfecting swings at 18 holes of mini golf or 25-pitch batting cages, visitors chow down at the Bullwinkle-themed restaurant, feasting on crowd-pleasing park fare such as pizza, burgers, salads, wraps, and corn dogs. Attractions vary by location. Valid only at the Tukwila and Edmonds locations.
An annual membership grants floral devotees unlimited visits with up to three guests, discounts for seasonal concerts held on the grounds, invitations to exclusive lectures and events, and rock-cultivation lessons in the Japanese Garden.
