Dream-Trials Guide
A Guide to the Quest for Wu's Notebook from Goddess of Mercy in Dream – Trials Adventure Quest from Chauncey
(Map of Dream – Trial. Current Location is in front of Golden Warrior Spawn)
There are plenty of items in the game that I'm sure a lot of players feel need to be updated so that they're stored in the Quest inventory slots and not your regular Inventory slots. This includes the Bonus quest items. I would suggest going to your stash and clearing out your Inventory of anything unnecessary. 6-10 slots will work for the Bonus quests, and the items you need to find don't disappear until leaving the Dream – Trial.
Upon entering the Dream – Trial adventure your first task is to talk to Jino. This is where everyone seems to get confused. He will give you only one Quest at first, asking you to kill Burningeye Archdemon(the mob that drops Wu's Notebook), however, as of right now he has some pretty leet defense for such a low character to fight.
This is the secret. Talk with Jino AGAIN. Accept the newer three Quests.
Quest 1:
Jino will ask you to talk to Zaar, who is an NPC just to the right of Jino a bit. He serves as a Blacksmith within this adventure. Talk with Zaar and scroll down to the Quest Related icon and select the weapons quest. This will add an Odd Weapon, Ethrelic, and Auxiliary Stone to your inventory.
Your next task within this quest is to talk to Zaar again and Imbue the Odd Weapon with the Ethrelic using the Aux. Stone to aid the success rate. Talk to Zaar again to complete the quest. The reward is a buff that decreases the effectiveness of Burningeye Archdemon's Defense, but you will also receive a nice amount of Exp as a reward.
Quest 2:
The second quest Jino wants you to complete has confused quite a few people, it seems. First, you must lure a Silver Warrior in to a trap set in the ground in order to receive a special Net. To lure the Silver Warrior(Just South of Jino 913,808,236) simply attack it once and move away from him slowly, leading him away from his spawn and towards the dark brown circular traps(Even more South of the Silver Warrior spawn 892,736,234) set in the ground, upon which the Silver Warrior will die and drop a special net.
(In Silver Warrior Spawn, just South of Jino and just forward going South you will find the traps.)
(Close to the location of the traps you must use on the Silver Warrior, walk just ahead, they should be right around the road.)
After aquiring this special net you need to attack another Silver Warrior until it's health is below 50% and use the net to capture it inside an egg. This egg you need to hand over to Cloud Colt, who is right next to Zaar the Blacksmith. Again, completing this quest lowers the effectiveness of Burningeye Archdemon's defense and nets you a nice Exp. reward.
Quest 3:
This is the simplest of all of Jino's quests. All you have to do is kill Golden Warriors(Just North of Jino 865,848,262) until one drops a Golden Warrior Card. This card needs to be turned in to Sun Wukong, who is to the right of Jino. You will get to keep the card after this, so take advantage of it and use it. Transform in to the Golden Warrior and talk to Hoggy twice, after you talk to Hoggy you'll receive the final buff to lower Burningeye's defense and an Exp. reward.
(Standing in front of the Golden Warrior Spawn site, just North of Jino)
Now, before you do anything else here you should talk to Jino and teleport to the extra events inside the Dream – Trials adventure. Why? Because there are two daily Bonus quests here that will net you around 12,000 Exp total the first time you do them. They're simple, quick, and well worth it. You can do these two in either order, it doesn't matter.
The first quest asks you to simply run over the red 'traps' in the ground, after they explode various Stardust items will be added to your inventory. There are 5 different kinds of Stardust and after collecting all 5 and turning them into the Quest Ender you will receive just over 6,000 Exp.
(Looking at the Red Traps in the instanced Pokari, follow this path to find the Quest Start/End NPC.)
The second quest is a little more time consuming but just as easy. You will be asked to pick the Celestial Fruit, 6 of them to be exact. They can take quite a bit longer to farm than what you're used to by now, but it's worth it. The Celestial Fruit doesn't have a standard farming time so it could be quick for you. Turning these in to the Quest Ender will, again, net you just over 6,000 Exp.
(Looking at the Celestial Fruit, follow the path to find the Quest Start/End NPC.)
Now wasn't that worth it? Talk to one of the Quest Enders again and teleport back to the Dream – Trials Starting City.
From here, you're free to defeat Burningeye Archdemon and receive your rewards. Wu's Notebook generally drops three times even if you're not in a party. They're only worth 1 Bronze and I doubt people will pay anything for it so I just toss mine, but you never know.
(Looking at Dirtpool Cave, the spawn of Burningeye Archdemon. I have found him close to the Silver Warriors as well, if you're having trouble finding him.)
Go ahead and walk back over to Jino, he'll reward you for killing Burningeye Archdemon and send you on your way back to your hometown so can talk to your Goddess and receive her reward for getting Wu's Notebook. After completing all of this you should be around Level 11 or 12 and it will make the game move a lot quicker. Now you can stop the senseless grinding and start, well, grinding to complete quests.
I would suggest accepting the Dragonkin Quest, and using his Double Exp. item, complete the Tests the Goddess is going to give you. But that's up to you. There are plenty of quests available in Pokari to use this item with, and it lasts for 2 hours, so make your own call.

Plum good
It is my favorite time of year. The pungent, earthy odors of fall are uplifting to me. My herb garden is in its prime, the vegetable garden has finally produced abundantly and every morning I pick, pull or dig our supper. Our plum tree has outdone itself âÄî and for fullest flavor we leave them on the tree until the stem ends are slightly shriveled and quite soft to the touch âÄî then they are ripe.
Like the leaves in the fall, plums come in all colors and sizes and shapes. Some are golden, orange, grass-green, red, purple and even boot-black. They range in size as small as a marble and as big as an apple âÄî some are round, others oblong. Their flavor is a pleasing balance of tart and sweet.
HereâÄôs a delicious PLUM COBBLER WITH RASPBERRIES âÄî
Place 3 cups quartered and pitted purple plums in a buttered 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish. Mix together 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract; toss with plums. Gently toss sweetened plums with 2 cups raspberries. Mix together 1¬Ω cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; with a fork, stir in 1/2 cup ground almonds. Add 2/3 cup milk and mix lightly to make a soft dough. Turn dough onto a floured board and knead 10-12 times; roll dough into a rectangle slightly smaller than baking dish and lay it over the mixed fruit. Sprinkle sugar cinnamon on top; poke about 6 holes in the dough. Bake in preheated 400-degree oven about 30 minutes. Serve warm to 8-10.
Some cobbler-makers put the crust on the bottom, others put it on top. Either way, the crust must never be too precise. Rather, it should look a bit tattered and casual and rosy.
âÄî from BEST OF SEASONS COOKBOOK by Judy Schultz
Crust for one 9-inch pie, unbaked
2/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 pounds red plums, pitted and sliced (6 cups)
In mixing bowl add above ingredients and mix well. Let stand 2 minutes then pile into the pie shell.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
In mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg; add oil and lemon juice and work in with your fingertips until the mixture forms small crumbs.
Sprinkle evenly over the plums. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven 55-65 minutes. Let the pie cool 30 minutes before slicing.
âÄî from my files
And for breakfast, a PLUM BREAKFAST CAKE âÄì
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon; cut in butter until it resembles cornmeal. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. Pat dough evenly onto bottom and up sides of a 13-inch by 9-inch baking pan.
1 (16-ounce) container cottage cheese
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1¬Ω pounds plums, pitted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
In food processor, beat cottage cheese until smooth; add sugar, eggs, flour and cinnamon and mix well. Pour onto prepared crust.
Slice plums in quarters and arrange skin-side up in rows. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over top.
With spatula fold pastry down from sides of pan onto fruit.
Bake in preheated 425-degree oven 25-30 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
âÄî from my files
Plum sauces are especially good with poultry, pork and duck âÄî put 2 cups pitted and quartered blue plums, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in small pan and simmer about 10 minutes, until plums are tender. Makes 1¬Ω cups.
Do not peel the plums âÄî the skins add color, flavor and texture.
Freeze some plums for that taste of summer in midwinter âÄî just wash, leave them whole, bag them up and pop into the freezer. To serve, just rinse off, let defrost enough so you can eat them.
Make the most of these wonderfully tasty plums in our markets now âÄî either in a pie like âÄúLittle Jack HornerâÄù who sat in a corner eating his plum pie or just in a bowl, spiced and lightly cooked âÄî whatever method, itâÄôs easy to see why, with their good taste and versatility they have prompted the familiar phrase âÄúplum good!âÄù

An experienced frontman, Kevin has been singing in various duos and bands since the mid-seventies and has sung most of the popular musical genres including musical theatre and light operetta! However, his favourite band to date (and probably his last) is The Heartbeats, where he can be singing a ballad one minute, followed by Latin American and then going straight into a full blown rock'n'roll number!
Tony taught himself to play guitar in the early 1960's with the help of Bert Weedon's 'Play in a Day' book. He has this in common with Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and other guitar greats but stardom has eluded him. Tony is now more than content to be a member of The Heartbeats, performing the music which inspired him all those years ago.

New to wine!
Okyy - so i'm really new to wine. I mean i drink it but know nothing about it. Can you recommend a good site I could visit that would educate me?
Also - do you have any recommendations or suggestions? I like to drink 1/2 - 1 glass with dinner but could never finish a full bottle on my own before it goes bad. What should I do?
Get a simple wine preservation kit/unit (see, for example, www.wineenthusiast.com) . There are various inventions that refill the empty space in your wine bottle with nitrogen, or similarly create a vacuum to prevent spoilage. In this way, you can keep a started bottle at room temperature (for 2 weeks? various opinions on that) so that it is ready to drink when you are. This is more important for red wine, since you can always store an open bottle of white in the fridge. Some might suggest that doing so (with white wine) makes it too cold - if you agree, just use the wine preserver, keep the wine on your countertop, and use one of those foil sleeves (probably available at a store like Sur la Table) to cool down the wine when you're ready to drink it. (Store the sleeve in your freezer.) THey work fairly quickly. Cheers!
re: boredough
Thanks so much!! I'll check it out.
Welcome...I really enjoy the page Robin Garr does
It is not really obnoxious or over-the-top
The most important thing isn't to read about wine, it's to taste wine. Find a good wine store or wine bar that offers a variety of wines, especially from good importers and good U.S. producers, and taste wine there to see what you like.
Keep track of what you like and don't like. The wine store people might be able to describe the styles to help you make more choices.
re: SteveTimko
I agree tastimg wine is the best way to find out what you like and don't like, buying bottles is not.
Ignore wine ratings they mean very little, if you must then visit cellartracker.com
Finding what you don't like is probably the most important.
Tasting can be done at wine stores, wine bars, restaraunts, wineries.
I store leftover wine in splits which are small bottles you can buy at most wine stores (they will be sold with wine in them). No gadgets to mess with or break.
re: pantani
" Finding what you don't like is probably the most important"
I disagree, taste changes as discovery progresses.
re: RicRios
That is a great, and often overlooked point.
As an example, my wife was a big fan of US Chard "fruit-bombs." They have their place, but lately, I have convinced her that FR Chards are wonderful. It took a few years, just handing her some great FR Chards, but now she has changed her choices, and has upped my wine budget! [Grin]
Keep trying as many, as you can. What might not work tonight, with one producer, might work tomorrow from another. Just because a Sauvignon Blanc from ____, produced by ____ does nothing for you, do not turn your back on that varietal, or even that producer. Keep a very open mind.
One can never know, and experience it all. Just keep tasting, and enjoy.
re: SteveTimko
I cannot agree more. Along those lines, find a wine shop near you, and talk to a good clerk. Talk about what you like, and what you do not like. If they listen, and are competent, they should be able to make useful suggestions. Stick with them, and become a regular. You can head to Trader Joe's, or Costco later on, once you have some great ideas. A good wine shop wants you as a regular, and should be willing to spend some time, listening, then recommending.
If you really enjoy one, talk about that, to discover the "whys." Same for the ones that do nothing for you. Maybe it was the vintage, or the producer, or maybe just a varietal that does nothing for you. There are so very many variables, that one should not rule out a country, a region, a producer or a varietal, just based on one sample.
Though I am much less a fan of Pinot Gris/Grigio, I keep at that varietal, and have found some good producers.
My original start was picking up mixed cases of wine, and tasting, tasting, tasting. I kept notes and talked to the clerks often. It did not take THAT long, before I was filling my cellar with cases of particular wines, but I am always open, and will always discuss the wines for my dinner with the sommelier, or cellar-master, as wine/food pairings are a love of mine, and those folk should know the kitchen that night, better than I can. I also love to explore new regions, and new producers, so I am always open for suggestions. I seldom order a wine that I know well, unless I am hosting, and do not have the latitude to explore.
Over 30 years ago, I started learning "one wine at a time". I started with Bordeaux. Read alot about it, used Robert Parkers tasting notes and gave my taste buds a workout! These days, you might try that approach with local wine (like maybe Napa Cabs), check tasting notes via the internet, try to educate your taste.Later, when you find something you like (a bit more expensive), buy a bottle or two and store them properly. Try them again in a year or two. It will help you to understand how wine is alive.
As far as not finishing a bottle. My guess is that as you explore wine more and develop more of a taste for it....that might not be a problem in the future ;) But, at least you shouldn't be buying very expensive bottles to try at first, so cork it and enjoy it the second night, learn to cook with it, invite a friend over on the bottles that cost a bit more, if all else fails....learn to make vinegar!
re: sedimental
Did you go broke starting with bordeaux? ;) That's my boyriend's wine of choice, so it's what I'm "starting with" too. Luckily, he's a good teacher, and we've had some superb wines!
Your advice for using excess wine is great too—one of my favorite uses for a bottle or so that I don't drink is to boil pasta in it. Yum!
As a relative newby I understand the intimidation level of wine info. Here's what I did. a couple of freinds and I had a monthly series of wine tasting parties. No fancy food needed, pizza works well, some nuts some fruit and cheese and a price limit of $15 per bottle to start. Figure 1 bottle for each 4 guests. And balance reds and whites until you find some favs. You won't get French at that price but you can get an idea of what you like. Wine today is so much better on average than 20 or 30 years ago that is hard to get a really bad bottle unless it is corked. Also if you live near them, visit wineries and take some tastings. Wine flights at restaurants can be educational also. Have fun, it is only grape juice!
re: budnball
World class muscadet (from the Loire Valley in France) can be had for $15 a bottle.
Looking at K&L's Web site, I can see several nice bottles of wine from the Loire, the Rhone, Savoie and the Midi that can be had for $15 or less. All would be nice for beginners to try.
I did not see it mentioned, but maybe I just missed it.
For a nice intro and education to wine, I recommend Andrea Immer's (now Robinson) Great Wines Made Simple. She covers some important bases, and along the way, assigns "homework" in tasting to amplify the prose. Though her suggestions are now a tad dated, the ideas will hold, and if you were to copy her lists (usually at 2, or 3 price-points) and head to your wine shop, any good employee can find substitutes from their current lists.
Befriend another couple and launch into that "homework." A 0.75 bottle will yield 4 full pours. For tastings, I get between 8 (liberal) and 12 glasses. Pick up a Vac-u-vin set with a couple of stoppers, for partial bottles, and refrigerate both whites and reds for later. You should get a week of storage with that system. There are other ways to "save" leftover wines, so this is not the only one.
Get a set of good wine glasses. Do not over-chill your whites, and do not serve your reds too warm. Let's just say that the concept of "room temp" for reds was coined in Europe/UK, where "room temp" was not too much above my cellar temp. Cold whites will obfuscate the aromas and the tastes, and is common in the restaurant industry, where many do not want the patrons to actually taste the "house wines."
Most of all, enter with an open mind, and enjoy. It is a never-ending journey, and one filled with great enjoyment.
re: Bill Hunt
I disagree about keeping open bottles of red in the fridge, where it is anywhere from 13-20 degrees too cold (depending on your fridge & which red wine). You can keep a Vac-u-vin bottle at room temperature (whatever that is, but hopefully not too warm), and use something like Rapid Ice (a foil & 'ice' sleeve that you keep in the freezer - Amazon sells them) to cool it down before drinking, should it need it. Rapid Ice works efficiently and more quickly than having to wait for too-cold wine to warm up. IMHO.
re: boredough
And, I disagree with you on the storage of red wines in the 'fridge. Of course, one would allow the wine to attain a warmer temp, but that should go, without saying.
re: Bill Hunt
Then what's the point of a wine preservation system/device if you keep the bottle in the fridge? You could get a week's storage without it. But if you want the wine kept at room temperature, you need the wine preservation system. And might get longer storage out of it to boot.
re: boredough
Well, your first mistake is with "room temp." That was coined in Europe/UK, where "room temp" was about 60F, and not the 78F, in the USA.
If one wishes to retain wines for a longer time, they lower their cellar temp to accommodate that extra time, say 45F vs 55F.
You may use the storage system of your choice.
Good luck, and also good luck at serving your nice Bdx. at USA room temp.
re: Bill Hunt
I understand your point, but my first message did say "room temperature, whatever that is, but hopefully not too warm" - having agreed with your statement about this issue for Europe/UK. Of course, wine should not be kept at 78ºF, but a kitchen counter is not generally near a radiator and one's judgment should be used as to where the bottle would be best kept (not by a window). My concern is that a properly calibrated refrigerator is generally too cold for red wine; a wine preservation system would not seem to add much, if any, time to a refrigerated wine's drinkability so I questioned its purpose. My conclusion was and is to use something like Rapid Ice to quickly cool down that bottle of Bordeaux. It seems to work more efficiently than waiting for my 40º wine to warm up. In the end, what matters to both you and me (& rchist) is whether the end result works & is pleasing to our individual tastes. Cheers!
re: boredough
In my case, I have a 'fridge, calibrated for my everyday, or left-over wine, and it's set to ~ 48F. That is where I place my left-overs, under Vac-u-vin stoppers. While I do not do control tests all that often, when I do, the reds, stored in the 'fridge under Vac-u-vin show very well, against a bottle of the same wine, at my cellar temp, 55F. Try it for yourself and please report your tests.
Good luck,
re: Bill Hunt
Now I understand your position better. According to several sites, "ideal" refrigerator temperature is 35°-38° or 37º-41º (depending on the site) - with 41º being the general cut-off point for prevention of bacteria growth. My fridge hovers around 40º, which is why I prefer to keep my open bottles of red wine (Vac-u-vinned) at "room temperature", which for my kitchen counter is around 72º. (Never more than a few days, but could be for 7-10 days, if necessary.) It takes 10 minutes for my Rapid Ice to cool down this wine to drinkability. It would take much longer to warm it up, were it be be stored in my fridge. BUT, when you say "calibrated for my everyday, or left-over wine", I think you are referring to a wine storage unit, not a regular fridge used for food storage. It is unlikely - but not impossible - that rchist (OP) has already invested in a wine cooler, so advice should be with that in mind. OTOH, if you meant "everyday" to mean "everyday usage" (i.e. food storage), I'd be surprised if your milk hasn't soured. (I just mention that possibility in case I am misunderstanding your reply.) So....I would be happy to take you up on the comparison test, but I do not dispute that refrigerated Vac-u-vinned wine will be as drinkable as cellared wine. Just that it will be colder. ☺
re: boredough
Well, it is a regular 'fridge, but I keep it warmer, than the units in my kitchen. The upper 'fridge area is for wine and ales only. The freezer unit is normal, and is my overflow.
Many wineshops, wine bars, retailers and even sometimes the chain stores offer weekly tastings, usually on a certain night of the week. Contact your local wine stores, or specialty stores and see if this is the case in your area. Its usually a nice and inexpensive way to sample several wines at one time, and meet others who are curious about wine as well.
As well many restaurants offer "wine flights" on their menus usually 3 tastes of different wines. This is also a great way to sample different wines. A friend of mine usually go and each get 2 different flights (usually = to about 1 glass of wine) and share them, by the time we are done between the two of us we tried 12 different wines in one seating, and only consumed 2 glasses of wine each in doing so.
I always use my iphone or a notebook to jot down some notes on each wines, even if I didnt care for them. The more you taste the more you understand your own pallet and what you like and dislike.
As well many wineries offer half bottles of wines. 350ml wich is equal to a little over 2 glasses. Not every store carries them, but a wine shop or speciatly store should be able to order them for you.
re: ReeseChiarlo
Great suggestions.
I would also add doing chef's tasting menus, along with the "sommelier's pairings." Do not hesitate to ask the server what the elements of each wine are, that got them on that list. That alone should be worth the "price of admission."
I almost always go that route, and tell the server/sommelier, that there WILL be a "chalk talk," with each wine. Just did that at Restaurant Daniel last weekend, and really enjoyed the wines with each dish, plus the input from the sommelier. They even did a special list for a few deviations in the menu, and for the "additions." Great fun, and wines that might never have made my "radar screen."
Most of all, ENJOY!
re: Bill Hunt
Everyone's ideas are great - I will add a few. Keep in mind - I am in the "wine challenged" state of Pennsylvania - where the state controls the Wine and Spirits shoppes. So I am MOST envious of all of you folks that have a large selection of shops!
[1] Take classes - I have taken classes at a local university and a cooking school. The best way to learn about wine is to drink alot of it! Classes will help you learn what you like - and the instructors are very willing to guide you! Plus its a great way to meet people! Everyone becomes pretty friendly after a couple of pours!
[2] I second Andrea Immer's book - I have it and it very useful when starting out.
[3] Find friends who share your interest in wine. I am good friends with one couple, who are much more educated when it comes to wine than I. They are always willing to try something new on me. Its great - the wife likes whites and the hubby likes reds so I get the best of both worlds! When I first met them, I was scared to death to bring a bottle to their house - I knew so little! Now - whether I bring an Argentinian Malbec that I found on sale or the Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc that I love - I am in their league.
[4] Above all - PRACTICE-PRACTICE-PRACTICE! Like anything, appreciating wine is a learned skill! But the learning is ALOT of fun!
re: Betharu
Wow, after 40 years in California, i had forgotten the concept of package stores and state control. Heck, we sell wine at gas stations.

Book Description:
My Dream LifeDeep down inside I knew that by virtue of the life I had been leading, jail was inevitable and a debt long overdue. But the most disheartening part of this ordeal occurred as the police led me into Central Booking. I had a clear view of the nearby skate park called the Brooklyn Banks, a famous skate spot that I had been shredding since I was eight years old. I could almost see a young version of myself, laughing with my friends, learning new tricks, skating under the warm evening sun. "As a skateboarder, I was fixated on testing my boundaries, but this was my way of fooling myself into feeling in control. Soon it grew to consume me."At only twenty-two, Brandon Novak had accomplished more than most people dream of in a lifetime. By the age of fourteen, he had been discovered by legendary skateboarders Tony Hawk and Bucky Lasek, and signed on to skate professionally. By eighteen, he had traveled the world, signed autographs for thousands of fans, won big-time sponsorships, and had his photo plastered all over the skate magazines. "I was a dreamseller. I sold those who loved me their dream that I was a recovering addict. I gained their trust, and betrayed them in order to get my precious next fix." Yet as swiftly as his career peaked, it crashed, brought down by heroine, a force far more powerful than his greatest ambitions. One day he had it all, the next he was living in an abandoned garage, begging for spare change on the street and bathing in gas station restrooms. Brandon now lived for one thing only his next fix. "Where once I had the world in my hand, I now had nothing but a distorted, twisted version of what I had once been."Brandon probably would have died a junkie's death if not for his closest friend, MTV and Jackass star, and music video director Bam Margera, who refused to give up on the dreamseller. Bam invited Brandon into his home and gave him cameos in the CKY videos, his independent films Haggard and Minghags, his hit MTV shows Viva La Bam and Bam's Unholy Union, and the hit films Jackass Number Two and Jackass 2.5. Eventually, Bam convinced Brandon to write the powerful and shocking story of how his addiction destroyed his skateboarding career a story soon to be a major motion picture starring Bam Margera as Brandon Novak, the Dreamseller. Vivid, harrowing and heartfelt, Brandon s story is a riveting and unforgettable journey from a dream life to a nightmare existence, and ultimately to waking up before it's too late.

Rock-Away Rest
Yes, we know what day it is, but we're not quite through with Christmas yet. Let's let Leland Parrott describe the scene at the rest home from a couple of days ago.
'Twas the night before Christmas at Rock-Away Rest,
And all of us seniors were looking our best.
Our glasses, how sparkly; our wrinkles, how merry;
Our punchbowl held prune juice, plus three drops of sherry.
A bed sock was taped to each walker, in hope
That Santa would bring us soft candy and soap.
We surely were lucky to be there with friends,
Secure in this residence and in our Depends.
Our grandkids had sent us some Christmasy crafts,
Like angels in snowsuits and penguins on rafts.
The dental assistant had borrowed our teeth,
And from them she'd crafted a holiday wreath.
The bed pans, so shiny, all stood in a row,
Reflecting our candle's magnificent glow.
Our supper so festive — the joy wouldn't stop — was creamy warm oatmeal with sprinkles on top.
Our salad was Jell-O, so jiggly and great,
Then puree of fruitcake was spooned on each plate.
The social director then had us play games,
Like "Where Are You Living?" and "What Are Your Names?"
Old Grandfather Looper was feeling his oats,
Proclaiming that reindeer were nothing but goats.
Our resident wand'rer was tied to her chair,
In hopes that at bedtime she still would be there.
Security lights on the new fallen snow
Made outdoors seem noon to the old folks below.
Then out on the porch there arose quite a clatter
(But we are so deaf that it just didn't matter).
A strange little fellow flew in through the door,
Then tripped on the sill and fell flat on the floor.
'Twas just our director, all togged out in red.
He jiggled and chuckled and patted each head.
We knew from the way that he strutted and jived
Our Social Security checks had arrived.
We sang — how we sang — in our monotone croak,
Till the clock tinkled out its soft 8 p.m. stroke.
And soon we were snuggling deep in our beds
While nurses distributed nocturnal meds.
And so ends our Christmas at Rock-Away Rest.
'Fore long you'll be with us, We wish you the best!
Toe truck
OK, one more.
Did you hear that Santa's sleigh broke down on Christmas Eve? He flagged down a passing motorist and asked, "Can you help me fix my toboggan, please?"
"Sorry," the driver replied. "I'm not a mechanic. I'm a podiatrist."
"In that case," said Santa," could you give me a tow?"
Humorous nods to the new year
The Huffington Post counts the following among its favorite New Year's quotes from comedians and humorists.
-- "Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual." — Mark Twain
-- "The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to." — P.J. O'Rourke
-- "Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to." — Billy Vaughn
-- "An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves." — Billy Vaughn
-- "New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot. Unless, of course, those tests come back positive." — Jay Leno
-- From Twitter: "My new years resolution for 2010? I will be less laz" — Jim Gaffigan
Party hearty
Party-planning advice from Dave Barry:
-- "If you throw a New Year's party, the worst thing that you could do would be to throw the kind of party where your guests wake up [the next day] and call you to say they had a nice time. Now you'll be expected to throw another party next year.
"What you should do is throw the kind of party where your guests wake up several days [later] and call their lawyers to find out if they've been indicted for anything. You want your guests to be so anxious to avoid a recurrence of your party that they immediately start planning parties of their own, a year in advance, just to prevent another one."
Party shoes
What's the best dance to learn for your New Year's Eve parties?
The elevator dance.
There's no steps to it.
But don't be tempted to make out on one.
Sex in an elevator is wrong on so many levels.
-- "I always like New Year's because it's so bizarre to me that we're drunk, we're counting backwards … Like, when did this tradition start? Did they have it back in ancient times? Like in ancient Rome did they have to go 'X! I-X! V-I-I-I! V-I-I … I'm out …'" — Ted Alexandro
In response, readers posted comments online. Among them:
-- "This year I resolve not to make any resolutions. Crap! I just succeeded and failed at the same time."
-- "Yet again I have given up tiger fighting, freefall parachuting and walking on thin ice. These resolutions have served me well for years."
Maxine's maxims
Wit and wisdom from Hallmark's Maxine:
* "You know it's the holidays when you've got Jack Frost nippin' at your nose and Jack Squat in your bank account."
* "Happy New Year. May all your worries last as long as your resolutions."
* "The end of the year is a good time to get rid of stuff. I started weeks ago by cleaning out my checking account."
* "I find it helps to organize chores into categories: Things I won't do now. Things I won't do later. Things I'll never do …"
Sad state
One to end the year on from www.wittyprofiles.com.
A man is thirsty, so he gets in line to buy some water. But the line is too long, so he says, "Never mind. I'll go buy a soda."
So he gets in line to buy a soda. But that line is also very long. The man says, "Forget it. This line is too long as well."
So the man goes to get some punch. There is no punch line.

U2 are the top-earning musicians in the world, according to financial website Forbes.com.
The Dublin-based band netted $130 million from their world tour and other deals, and beat out other big earners, such as Australian heavy metal group AC/DC, who earned $114 million, and Beyonce Knowles, who came third with $87 million. Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band and Britney Spears also made the top five.
Forbes.com said, "Nearly half of the artists that make up this year's list of the top-earning music acts have been around long enough that they could have appeared on the soundtrack to 'Back to the Future.'

Desi wisdom
December 30, 2006
The charismatic Lalu rocked yet again, this time as 'management guru'. Students of elite B-schools like Harvard and IIMs were enlightened by his words of wisdom. Lalu proved that management lessons can be learnt better in a pragmatic atmosphere. Critics may call him a buffoon, but you have to salute the man for scripting the phenomenal turnaround of the Indian Railways. It was not the western managerial skills rather a dash of 'desi wisdom' which fashioned the transition of the railways.

A new science building is in the works at UW-Stevens Point, all for students who love long days in the lab. It's four floors and just under 170,000 square feet of energy efficient design.
The State Building Commission approved the $75 million request on Thursday, and that means breaking ground on the new building is even closer. If it passes with the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee review, it will be considered as part of the 2013-15 budget.
The new building will feature labs, lecture halls, and research facilities with cutting-edge equipment.
The current building is 50 years old, and administrators say it's simply outdated. The new building provides a better learning environment for students who want a hands-on approach.
"We're moving away from the big lecture hall where students just passively receive knowledge," says Greg Summers, Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. "We're moving towards the type of laboratory teaching spaces where they can do hands-on work right with the professor in the classroom."
The current science building will continue to be used until the new one is finished. Construction on the project could start as soon as the spring of 2015, with a completion date of spring 2017.
Excluding UW-Madison, the Stevens Point campus had more graduates complete doctorate degrees in science technology, engineering and mathematics majors than any other UW school from 1997 to 2006.

Norwegian Air CEO to meet Boeing over Dreamliner problems
OSLO Jan 5 (Reuters) - The Chief Executive of budget airline Norwegian Air Shuttle, Bjoern Kjos, plans to meet Boeing management in the United States next week to discuss problems with its Dreamliner planes, Norwegian media reported on Sunday.
Norwegian Air, Europe's third-biggest budget airline after Ryanair and EasyJet, launched long-haul operations last year and hoped to capitalise on the Dreamliner's lower operating costs.
But during the autumn its first two Dreamliners broke down more than half a dozen times, forcing it to lease back-up planes at short notice or cancel flights.
Its newest, the third, plane was grounded in the United States before Christmas, and the company said spare parts had to be ordered for the replacement.
"As far as I know the plane is not back in service yet, we have a wetleased (Boeing) 777 today between Oslo and New York," Anne-Sissel Skaanvik, a spokeswoman for the Norwegian, said in an email to Reuters.
Wetleasing means hiring a plane with a crew.
Norwegian Air might see whether it needs to replace its maintenance service provider, daily VG quoted Kjos as saying in an interview.
Skaanvik could not confirm the quote, but said Kjos, who was already in the United States, was planning a number of meetings there next week.
The Dreamliner was intended as a game changer for the aviation industry as its lightweight body and sophisticated engines cut fuel consumption by 20 percent.
But it has been beset by problems, including battery fires that grounded the model for months last year and forced Boeing to come up with a new battery design.
The first two Dreamliners bought by the Norwegian Air have previously suffered hydraulic and electrical faults.
Boeing promised to fix problems quicker after its executives met with Norwegian Air in Oslo in September.
After that, Norwegian ordered two more Dreamliners for delivery in 2016.

Nantucket Scallops
- b
- Bellachefa Nov 9, 2010 04:36 PM
Any reports?
re: emannths
Local Cape Bay Scallops are in all the fish markets down here. Be prepared to pay $30 per pound though. Had some last night.....yummy sweet goodness.
re: CapeCodGuy
Paid $28/lb at J Hook in Downtown a few weeks ago. Delicious! I'd call first to be sure they have them or have them hold some for you.
re: 9lives
9lives the nantucket bay scallop season doesn't open until 11/1 were you scammed?
re: Bellachefa
I wasn't scammed.
I didn't say I bought Nantucket bay scallops; but Local Cape Bay scallops; guessing Wellfleet which opened Oct 1. My post was in response to Cape Cod Guy's directly above miine.
On Oct 24 when I initially posted, someone else posted about having them at Craigie and ICOB.
I also know by the taste and would have returned them if I were "scammed." In fact, I went back and bought more.
re: 9lives
I'm confused. Here you say you can tell the difference by taste and then below you agree that I and most people can't tell the difference. That's like suggesting that I can't taste the difference between local oysters.
I certainly didn't mean to offend you, but the other scallops have in the past been misrepresented as Nantucket. Perhaps that misbranding is in the past.
CCG - how much is your weeks pay anyway?
re: Bellachefa
Maybe this will clear up any confusion on your part.
I can tell by the taste and appearance between the commonly available sea scallops that come from Georges Bank and the smaller Cape Cod Bay/Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket scallop.
As I've said from my original post, I bought Local Cape Cod Bay Scallops. If I was scammed, so was Tony Maws at Craigie and the owners of Island Creek Oyster Bar because they were serving the same scallops as I bought on Oct 24. I don't know how they labeled them. I've bought Nantucket and MV scallops in the past and I know their taste and appearance also..basically interchangeable.
Are some Wellfleet scallops being sold as Nantucket scallops? Maybe, possibly. I don't know but Hook's properly represented the scallops I bought.
I think I'll have a bowl tonight, raw with a little soy and a squeeze of lemon.
As an aside, for anyone that actually wants to buy and eat these tasty little things instead of just argue about them, be sure not to overcook..and they don't need a lot of time on the heat..my preference is raw.
Island Creek Oysters
296 Parks St, Duxbury, MA 02332
re: Bellachefa
Bella...approximately 1/52 of my annual salary.
And if by that you mean to claim you can discern the difference between a Cape Bay scallop and a Nantucket Bay scallop, I say "Pishaw"!
Ceviche or flash seared is my choice of prep.
re: emannths
New Deal currently has em.
Fresh Catch mansfield has them and confirmed they are the real Nantucket Scallop - about $30 a lb but they think in a couple of weeks they will likely drop prices to $20 lb
I don't like when fishmongers are not honest with whether they are nantucket or cape scallops, I think 9lives likely got cape
Fresh Catch
473 E Washington St North, Attleboro, MA
re: Bellachefa
I'd wager a weeks pay that you, or anyone else, couldn't tell the difference between Cape's and Nantucket's in a blind taste test.
re: CapeCodGuy
I'm in agreement with you...and don't forget MV scallops
BTW, we have this argument every year about this time..:)
re: 9lives
lol...it's the snobbish appeal I guess. Either way, they are BOTH terrific. I prefer Cape's as the season's longer.
Well I am certainly not arguing, but I am pleased that proper branding of local products are taking hold. In the past other scallops have been sold as nantucket, and certainly anyone who has any seafood knowledge would not mistake a sea scallop with a bay scallop or a china bay scallop with a local bay scallop.
I want to know where my seafood has been sourced. I'm glad that cape and mv are recognizing their own brand.
I'm also envious to those who were enjoying the catch tonight from whatever waters. Just trying to say purveyors should be honest, but can only be as honest as the fisherman. Oh to be on a boat and eat them straight from the shell!!!!
re: Bellachefa
We are in full agreement then. I'm a strong believer of buying local and just as I would not want my "local corn" to be from New Jersey, I think that Nantucket Bays should be from Nantucket and likewise for Cape's. I just don't happen to taste any difference between the two as I do with oysters and clams for instance.
Most of all, I'm hoping to see the price drop from $30/lb to close to the $18 they routinely sold for last season.
re: Bellachefa
Fortunately, I have a little seafood knowledge, so thanks for the compliment...though it seems a bit backhanded.
I generally know where my seafood is sourced..and know the proper questions to ask at a fish market. Here's a photoset from last summer of some locally sourced seafood you might enjoy.
Sorry , no scallops..out of season.
re: 9lives
Now that's what I call Toro!
re: Gabatta
that's not tuna belly, it's tuna butter! :)
Whew, lots of debating on this thread. Anyone who claims to be able to taste the diff between bay scallops harvested on MV vs. Nantucket vs. Wellfleet I will wager $500 they can't do so blind. Though knowing that the Nantuckets are hand-harvested by Wallstreet investment bankers sure is sweet ;-).
On a related note. As I posted elsewhere restaurant depot in Needham had great scallops for small money yesterday; they just started carrying fish.
I am SURE they were not Nantucket, and likely not even New England, but they were not the Chinese junk.
Dry they had large Sea Scallops for $8.99 a pound and for &6.99 had bay scallops. Again these are wholesale prices and you have to have a tax id # to even shop there.
I bot a pound of the bay and seared them under the broiler (with just a smidge of marjoram and black pepper) and a liberal dose of Cabot 83 butter for about 3 minutes.
They also had some beautiful fresh flour tortillas.
We ate the scallops with a drizzle of lime juice on the tortillas.
They were stunning.
re: StriperGuy
O-day ou-yat ave-h an id umber-nay I could se-uay to hop-say here-tay?
re: Bellachefa
So they make it a bit tricky. You have to have a business tax ID number, then register, then they give you a bar-coded card that they swipe every time you shop.
Unfortunately I gave away all the cards they gave me. That said is is SUPER easy to get a tax ID number, see below. You can also get into the flower mart if you are into that sort of thing.
re: nlg
Not only is it impossible to imagine anyone can tell the difference between Capes, Nantucket and MV, in a blind taste test, but there are some wonderful little gems from the salt ponds in South County RI. I usually get them from there or from Chatham. When we were kids, we could scoop them in nets from the beach in front of our house on the Cape. So sad they are so much scarcer now. Anyway, tis the season, and they have been fabulous so far.
re: Bivalve
Still enjoying these wonderful Cape Bay Scallops but sadly, the prices locally haven't budged from the early season harvest price of $30 per pound. Anyone find them cheaper?

Overall User Rating: Royal Brand Basmati Rice - 20 lbs. ( 4.8 stars from 10 reviews )
This is a good quality rice with a very nice flavor. We switched to basmati rice a few years ago because of both the taste and nutrition. This is much cheaper than the local market sell it for.
John S. Posted on 10/18/2014
One of many great basmati rice brands. Burlap bag can sometimes give off musky scent, I usually transfer rice to glass containers for storage, such as Anchor Hocking Heremes jars.
Danielle D. Posted on 09/08/2014
Purchased this for my friends who hosts a meal every Sunday after church at her house for whomever wants to come. She loves this rice. Better texture than plain white rice. Goes great when she does her special Indian meal as well! Nice value!
Julie P. from Julie Posted on 09/08/2014
This basmati rice is wonderful to cook to accompany my Indian dishes. I also found out recently that basmati rice is more nutritious to eat than most other long-grain white rice, so I cook it often now.
My L. Posted on 02/06/2014
I like this particular rice because the flavor and texture are good and that you can use the bag for extra hobbyist activities. The price is also good, I can't get away from the market without paying way more per pound.
Jaime P. Posted on 01/25/2014
The rice is not bad- good taste and quality. It is a good product for a good price. I only wish that you guys carried a medium grain rice - my husband likes works with this grain better for our rice cooker.
Angie G. Posted on 03/04/2013
The Royal Brand Basmati rice is a great product. I use it as a simple side dish or under main ingredients. It tastes great plain or with a little bit extra.
Geoffrey L. from Sweet Treat Kitchen Posted on 02/01/2013
this rice is great. when you buy such a large amount like this it last forever, and it is a great price. i love the taste and love the quality
Dan W. Posted on 11/13/2012

elizabeth H. Posted on 10/07/2012
I love using rice as a base for heavily sauced main dishes or even as a simple side dish with a little added seasonings as well.

We have seven offices with a physical DC, a corresponding subnet and a site in AD for each. I tried looking in their IP site links and the former admin had a site link named Northwest (is it a default name?) and all other sites linked to it. I noticed that this was creating some problems with the KCC and is not able to form a spanning tree profile.
All of the sites are properly connected by a business ADSL (5/50mbps) or a cable and VPN links. For an optimum performance, should I make a site linked to each other sites to form a network? Or would a hub or spoke work better with the admin, which will perform FSMO roles will be located in the middle?

Hi Experts,
I have a domain which is configured using Windows Server 2003 and clients are Windows XP Pro. It's possible to login with the domain user id. But of the users don't login into the domain; they are login into the local machine with usernames which are NOT in the domain.
They get access to files which are stored on the server, by using the server's IP address in shortcuts and scripts. It appears to me that security on the server is not properly set or I must have been partly disabled, to allow this unauthorized access.
Can you help me in force the users to login into the domain credentials?
Thank you very much.

I am working on a small setting that has few basic security zones, with a Fortigate 60c sitting at the middle acting traffic monitoring agent.
Now I have noticed that even very light load to the Fortigate will cause lots of latency, and when it gets heavily loaded it will be crapping out well below the rated speed. I am assuming that this is because we are running a Dinky box near the bottom of the range in NAT mode with a few IDS features enabled.

Guestbook comments from the owner
I can't thank you enough for making our stay at Maiglück so easy, warm, inviting and truly a wonderful experience. After a very grueling week working in Cannes, me and my co-workers needed to relax and Engelberg was the perfect place to do that. Your house is so comfortable and a truly relaxing experience. The cool mornings, surrounded by the mountains, the sound of the cow bells mixing with the ringing of the church bells in the fresh crisp air,the smell of clover and cut grass all work to create one of the most beautiful atmospheres I have ever seen.
I cooked up some wonderful meals, we went to the truly wonderful spa at the hotel Waldegg and spent hours looking at the majestic mountains and green, lush meadows.
The 3 of us have traveled all over the world, but we all agree that Switzerland and our stay in Engelberg was one of the best experiences ever.
I look forward to coming back as this has been a trip that touched our heart and soul. Thank you! Your friends from New York

FOX Sports Exclusive
Danica must adjust to change again
Leading into the weekend, I knew there was some discontent in the JR Motorsports NASCAR Nationwide Series organization. With the recent release of competition director Tony Eury Sr., followed by the release of crew chief Tony Eury Jr. this week, it really seems to me they have determined that the leadership wasn't working for them, unfortunately.
As far as Danica Patrick is concerned, this could be a challenge for her and the whole organization. I really believe she and Tony Jr. had a good relationship, and I thought he'd done an admirable job of making her comfortable, trying to explain what needed to be done.
DANICA'S BESTThere's no one like Danica, both on and off the track. Check out some of our favorite photos of Danica in action.
It's going to be a big challenge here late in the season with everything that's in front of her, not only with the Nationwide Series but with the upcoming Sprint Cup season in 2013, I think she's going to get a pretty good appreciation of how important communication is, how important it is to be able to deal with what could be a non-productive or not as productive year end as she would expect.
Welcome to NASCAR racing.
It's very volatile, it's very unpredictable, and sometimes when you complain about something, a lot of owners make changes very quickly to try to either appease the driver or appease the sponsor.
For a driver and crew chief, learning each other's language is a challenge at best.
That's one of the things that I'm concerned with. Having listened to Danica on the radio with Tony Jr., I thought, again, they communicated well, and I didn't detect a lot of frustration from her.
THAT'S THE WAY!Keselowski's back in charge after JJ's setback. NASCAR Power Rankings
Whoever gets this job permanently, this position at JR Motorsports, will have their hands full. Whether it's Ryan Pemberton, who has been named the interim crew chief, or whether they reach out and bring someone else in who they feel has enough experience or enough tolerance to work with her — it's not an easy undertaking when you're trying to teach and, at the same time, produce quality results.
Having worked with a couple of rookie drivers in my career, you don't know a whole lot about what to expect. People are going to say, "Hammond, she's already run a season or half a season in Nationwide, she's got a lot more than you give her credit for." It's an ever-ongoing challenge.
I don't care who it is. You bring in any kind of driver. I'll reach back to another open-wheel driver who was racing in our series. Dario Franchitti, as talented as he is, he struggled communicating with his crew; his success rate was not as high as expected; and eventually he returned to open wheel to do what? Win three championships.
So it's not an easy undertaking no matter who you are. It's all about how you've been brought up and what you feel behind the wheel of a race car.
For Danica, it's the learning curve and getting someone in there who when they listen to you talk, not only can they help you, they can tell to what degree you need help. A lot of times, a driver's inflection, the way he uses his hands, has a big influence on a crew chief to make the right adjustment and how much to make an adjustment.
