Prey is touted as having an adaptive difficulty system -- the better you are, the better it gets -- and it really did seem to get harder as the game went on. As a result, there are just two difficulty settings, Normal and Cherokee, and I'd advise that even vets might want to give Normal a try on the first run out, letting the game's artificial intelligence pick up the pace to a comfortable level.
The game that "Doom 3" and "Quake 4" wished they could be. It's ruthlessly violent and action-packed, yet consistently subversive and innovative -- not unlike "Duke Nukem 3D," another 3D Realms-produced game. It's also one of the least frustrating games we've ever played.
Prey is a masterpiece that simply should not be missed. [Aug 2006, p.80]
Prey is an old school shooter with better standards than the shooters we've seen lately. It has its flaws, but they're overshadowed by its quality and innovation.
Prey has the tired old first-person shooter rulebook in a spin. Captivating stuff. [Sept 2006, p.62]
Plot holes aside, the gameplay in Prey is nothing short of amazing. Whether you're wandering up walls, shifting gravity, shrunk down to the size of a mouse, going into spirit form, fighting in the afterlife, or floating around in a service vehicle... Prey has got everything anyone could want from a sci-fi shooter and more.
With some truly imaginative level design, a compelling story with dramatic highlights, good voice acting and dialog, and more interesting weapons, Prey earns a spot on this shooter fan's hard drive.
While not exactly as breathtaking as "Half-Life 2," Prey can rightfully be called one of the best, if not *the* best FPS game of the year so far.
While Prey brings a lot of innovation and fun with it, it's not quite the system-shattering killer app that a decade of delay should promise. It is, however, a solid FPS with many never before seen features and an interesting and original storyline.
It manages to do the expected FPS stuff well while adding some new mechanics that spice things up. Good use of the Doom 3 engine makes the presentation superb, as well.
It's exactly like one of those big-budget Hollywood summer blockbusters: You wish it gave your brain as much of a work-out as your finger, but there's no question that its superb action, terrific pacing, and actual puzzles combine to make Prey the best single-player first-person shooter since "HalfLife 2." [Sept. 2006, p.73]
A fresh and exciting step forward in a market that always threatens to be staid and blinkered, and I hope future games will steal (not borrow) its innovation, its excitement and style.
And even though the single-player is extremely linear and might be a bit short for certain tastes – you can complete it in less than 6 hours – Prey manages to avoid being a game released just for financial reasons. And considering its finale – the one after the Credits mind you – I sincerely hope that Human Head will continue the series with even more wackier ideas.
The graphics are top notch as well, very clean and distinct. Items are easily recognizable and the line of sight is strong.
Ten years of waiting has paid off: Prey is a fine shooter with good playability and graphics. It doesn't bring anything truly innovative to the genre, but what it does, it does pretty well, and stuff like portals and gravity tricks make preying a lot of fun. [Aug 2006, p.40]
I was able to breeze through Prey in around nine hours--probably because of how easy it is to resurrect yourself after death--making it a short but very sweet game. And definitely worth the wait. [Sep 2006, p.43]
It's so pregnant with ideas and beautiful movements that you'd be a sad fool to to deprive yourself of the experience. If the sequel is longer, a bit more difficult, and plays slightly more intelligently, then I can't imagine it being anything other than a Classic. [Aug 2006, p.58]
What starts out as just another "corridor FPS", turned into a game that grows as you play, and sucks you in.
It's a wonderful single-player game, full of fascinating Cherokee flavor, well-made sci-fi trimmings and a suitably cheesy plot.
Prey offers impressive visuals, a decent story, and high-octane action to bring players the equivalent of an outstanding summer action flick.
It features fantastic level design that make a fresh change from the usual FPS fodder. Coupled with a captivating and well told storyline, Prey comes together to be the game of choice if you are looking for an FPS that, if not perfect, actually does something new for the genre.
While the game features some new innovation that we'll be seeing in upcoming games you do have to wonder about the value the game brings as the single player side of the game is a bit on the short side and the multiplayer is a bit on the generic side.
It has a solid story, incredible visuals, and a new approach to an age-old formula. [Sept 2006, p.57]
It will scare you silly and make you dizzy and when you finish the game you will likely not forget some of the things you encountered for some time. Again, we wish it was a longer experience and we feel not enough was done with multiplayer but on the whole it's definitely worth picking up.
Flawed but undoubtedly fun. An endearing spectacular shooter. [Sept 2006, p.92]
Prey brings some unique storytelling and great, interesting features, but it just lacks the polish required to make this game a top-quality shooter.
For all its singleplayer niggles of slightly gutless, meagre gunplay, the astonishing-looking Prey is often great fun, occasionally very creepy and frequently highly impressive. Just don't go taking it seriously. [Aug 2006, p.74]
From a perspective outside the nitpicking, it's a really fun game; it's scary, fast, brutal, and very well executed. Despite its shortcomings, it's still definitely worth playing. It's not perfect, but it's damn close at times.
It could have been much better if only there were more than two modes (deathmatch and team deathmatch) and a couple of maps small enough to play with less than five players, but Prey is still a major blast for shooter fans with strong stomachs.
If only the Native American mysticism had figured in more. If only the spirit "death walk" had developed into something more than a shooting gallery. If only the voice acting and storytelling were a little better. If only there were more than just deathmatch to the multiplayer. All those half steps...but even combined, they don't amount to a stride backward.
A polished and exciting ride, carefully calculated for 80 percent thrills and 20 percent brain teasers.
Despite a flimsy storyline that's riddled with cavernous gaps in logic, Prey's rollercoaster ride of gun-toting action delivers the punch of a blockbuster movie.
Prey is a masterpiece of design, but there are a few niggles that slightly mar the overall experience rather than the immediate game. It's likely that you won't even notice them until you've finished playing and are debating its merits with friends. [Aug 2006, p.106]
Prey is worth playing for its striking technology and story, and what they bring to the gameplay. It's too bad that the impressive moments had to be separated by monotony, but that doesn't make them any less extraordinary when they happen.
While the combat mechanics of the underlying Doom 3 engine are not up to the level of "SiN Episodes Emergence" or "Half-Life 2: Episode One," this is a solid shooter that adult fans of the genre should definitely check out.
While good science fiction creates coherent, convincing futuristic technology and explores its ramifications, Prey is simply built around a bunch of neat ideas like wall walking and invisibility. This makes Prey very bad science fiction, but the game works wonderfully as a surreal nightmare.
As a first-person shooter, Prey makes up in design for what it lacks in depth. The game moves along swiftly, balancing a strong narrative with solid puzzle-solving and some very tasty eye candy.
While most shooters handle the genre's design tradition like fragile cargo, careful to ensure that its arrangement of pieces doesn't fall into disarray, Prey cranks it like a Rubik's cube, cocking its world delightfully askew. [Sept 2006, p.76]
It may not have the richest or most original shooter experience, but it does give plenty of fast-paced FPS action to keep your adrenaline pumping.
Even though Prey is far too short, devoid of any challenge and guaranteed to leave you disappointed, it still manages to be one of the finest old school first person shooters out there.
Prey is a good game, but I think it will underwhelm people's expectations because those expectations were astronomically high.
Prey's campaign won't take too long, and it's rarely difficult, which makes it a solid choice if you're looking for an easy weekend romp. But much of the game's potential for unique thrills feels wasted by its straightforward level design, and the multiplayer doesn't add much to the package.
Sadly, the teleportation and wall-walking feel like incidental obstacles: The path through the game is so linear that you never really explore the new experiences, such as staring at the back of your own head through a portal, or stalking up a giant wall while aliens shoot at you from the ceiling.
Despite all of the new graphical features, Prey innovates little and borrows heavily from tried and true predecessors.
A co-op mode would have been wonderful, a more fleshed out story-line, additional levels that didn't take place in dark corridors that herded you from A to B without fail, more multiplayer options; these are all things that should be expected of games being released on next-generation consoles.
The story isn't much to speak of, and the combat feels somewhat dated, but the gravity tricks and spirit abilities provide plenty of memorable moments, and the addition of the Death Walk keeps the game from succumbing to the frustrations that so many other shooters fall, well, prey to.
A game high on fun, packed with action, but not without a number of infuriating problems.
I can sum this up with one tired phrase. Been there, done that. There's a little bit here that's new, and the game looks great (and just like "Doom 3"), but this is really just covering the same old ground.
The main elements that work against it are the length, the somewhat generic and stale pacing towards the middle-point of the campaign, and the fact that the portal system really wasn't pushed as far as possible.
Monotonous it can be, but it's rarely frustrating or difficult to play. That said, if it was released in 1998 it could have been genre-defining, in 2006 it is merely genre-filling.
It presently seems content merely treading ground already covered in "Half-Life 2," "Doom 3" and "Quake 4." Despite its lofty intentions, this brave's promise of innovation is as empty as the tears of a fake Indian chief.

Whilst shopping I bought some strawberries and blueberries and an extra bag of granulated sugar for some food photography fun.
My wife has this collection of coloured plastic measuring spoons which I've been wanting to use for ages in my pictures so borrowed one for my fruity coloured shot.
For the background I used my roll of coloured poster paper which was on a backdrop stand and rolled down to the table.
I fixed the measuring spoon to a homemade wooden stand and held in place with a clamp.
For the lighting I used three flashguns.
1 x Nikon SB600 placed to my camera left with my 24" EZ-Fold Softbox - 1/2 power
1 x Jessops 360 AFD placed to camera right with a lee white gel to soften the light - 1/4 power
1 x Jessops 360 AFD placed underneath the spoon pointing directly at the backdrop with a homemade snoot 1/4 power.
All flashguns were fired off camera using my Yongnuo RF-602 trigger + receivers
I placed my silver reflector to the right of the spoon to bounce some light back at the spoon.
This was a massive spoon which was filled with blueberries and 3 strawberries and these were big strawberries(to give an idea how big this spoon was).
I took a handful of granulated sugar and just sprinkled it over the fruit whilst taking the shots.
Some shots had too much sugar and some too little but this seemed just about right.

UofU Patient October 14, 2014Great experience as per my expectations...
UofU Patient August 09, 2014I feel that he should have given ne the "scrips", rather than refering them to Kaeir Stevens (my liver Dr.). I think I woyld have had them by now rather than waiting for them. Other than that all went very well.

He kept checking in on me as well. Thank you.
UofU Patient November 04, 2013Dr Nirula is amazing in every way. I have had many surgical procedures but my experiences with the U of U and especially Dr Nirula and his team have been remarkable. Dr Niruka is brilliant, patient, kind and very sympathetic to all concerns and issues.
UofU Patient October 16, 2013I have never experienced a doctor like Dr. Nirula. He is an expert in his field(s), explains most thoroughly every aspect of your procedure or exam.

A Counterpoint of Tolerance
A Counterpoint of Tolerance: AH!
A Counterpoint of Tolerance: AH!
"Arouse the mind without resting it on anything." Diamond Sutra
A co-production of the The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts and the CalArts Center for New Performance, in cooperation with Idyllwild Arts
REDCAT transforms its flexible performance space into an immersive visual and sonic environment for the world premiere of this inventive international collaboration. Composed and performed by creators from around the globe, this pioneering collective work draws inspiration from the classic Buddhist text, the Diamond Sutra. With composer-performer David Rosenboom and award-winning poet Martine Bellen, the creative team has developed AH! as a celebratory passage across musical cultures and times: a polyglot clarion call for understanding and unity in today's globalized, ever-more interconnected world. Spinning off a mandala of 13 extraordinary and ordinary modern-life stories, this spellbinding opera brings together an array of robotic and interactive musical technologies, ingenious stagecraft, and flights of phenomenal musicianship. In the theatrically heightened environment of AH!, everyday life is placed flush against esoteric and transcendent realities. Performing live, Rosenboom and 10 composer-performers from across the Americas, Europe and East Asia are joined by an additional cast of musicians, theatermakers and interactive artists under the direction of Travis Preston, who stages this exceptional music event with production designer Christopher Barreca, choreographer Mira Kingsley and video designer Jeremiah Thies. The audience is invited to engage with and contribute to AH! before, during and after performances, via the website www.ah-opera.org, mobile media, and a magical multitouch screen at the theater. Arrive early and participate!
Interact with and contribute to AH! via the web at
A Counterpoint of Tolerance is a project commissioned by the Transatlantic Arts Consortium (TAC). This production of AH! is made possible with generous support from TAC, The Evelyn Sharp Foundation, and Judith O. and Robert E. Rubin.

Adrian Gonzalez has averaged a homer every 25.1 at-bats in his year and a quarter with the Dodgers. In Wednesday's Game 5 victory, he hit his second and third in 35 postseason at-bats.
Carl Crawford hit a total of six homers in 435 at-bats in his first year with the Dodgers. On Wednesday, he hit his fourth in 39 postseason at-bats.
It was supposed to be Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig supplying the Dodgers with most of their power this month, but while Ramirez came up big in the NLDS, it's been Gonzalez, Crawford and Juan Uribe combining for nine of their 11 homers overall. Ramirez hit his lone bomb in Game 2 against the Braves. A.J. Ellis hit the remaining homer in today's Game 5.
Crawford is the bigger surprise. Of his six homers on the season, four game in April. He hit one in his final 328 regular-season at-bats. But Crawford had shown power in the postseason before, hitting two homers for the Rays in the World Series loss to the Phillies in 2008. Overall, he has seven homers in 122 postseason at-bats, or one every 17.4 at-bats. In the regular season, he's hit a total of 124 homers in 6,050 at-bats, or one every 48.8 at-bats.
Both Gonzalez and Crawford were, of course, picked up from the Red Sox in last summer's megadeal, with the Dodgers also getting Josh Beckett and Nick Punto in return for salary relief and prospects. It will be the go-to narrative if the Dodgers and Red Sox happen to advance to the World Series from here. The Red Sox have no one they acquired in the trade on their postseason roster, but they used all that freed up cash to sign free agents like Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino, Stephen Drew and Jonny Gomes . The Dodgers didn't get outstanding seasons from either Gonzalez or Crawford, but both were solid enough and they're making a bigger impact now. Neither team has any regrets at this point.
- Jeff M. - Oct 16, 2013 at 8:42 PM
Hooray Dodgers! Force a game 7!
Uh, and then WIN that game 7.
- jimeejohnson - Oct 16, 2013 at 8:47 PM
It's a bit surrealistic: Crawford and Gonzales might be back in Boston on the biggest stage in the world.
- proudlycanadian - Oct 16, 2013 at 8:57 PM
I would find it funny if the Dodgers make it and the Red Sox do not.

A-gon may not have had an MVP season but did perform at a solid rate. Plus top defense at 1st. Adrian isn't going to give them a 35 homer season anymore like he did with the padres but he's still quite usefull and has worked out pretty well including Crawford.
- dannymac17 - Oct 17, 2013 at 1:45 PM
Agreed. Punto hasnt been bad either. That trade really worked out for both teams considering where they both are right at this time and point. I was skeptical about Crawford and obviously Josh Beckett. but seriously, a trade that seemed doomed and gloomed worked out wonderfully.

This year, I decided not to make resolutions, exactly, but to set goals for myself for the coming year. So. My knitting goals for 2005:
1. Finish a sweater already, darn it! Yes, this is the third or fourth year I've said that. I've started plenty. This year I will finish one. I promise.
2. Get rid of the UFOs. I'm afraid to count. But there are a lot. Just trust me on that. By this time next year, I want to have everything except for current projects DONE.
3. Knit fifty items for charity. That's one a week, with two weeks off for holidays or exams or something. I should come up with some sort of progress marker for this to put on the side of the blog. Hmm. Anyway, the two main beneficiaries I'm planning will be Project Angel Kisses for preemies (as I was one myself) and the kids who are my mother's patients at an inner city clinic. I'm open to other suggestions, though, so feel free.
4. Keep track of what I finish. Again, I've resolved this before but failed to keep it up. This year I'll do it. Really.
Well, this should be an adventure, eh? What are your knitting goals this year?
I don't knit (well, I CAN knit, but it's not pretty) but I crochet, and I, like you, have decided to clean up my unfinished projects. I sorted through The Box yesterday, and not counting a bunch of cotton yarn that was given to me, I have nine projects that I can do without buying anything other than two skeins of baby yarn. Most of those weren't projects I'd started; they're just using up yarn I bought and never used. I do have one blanket that I abandoned years ago and one that I've been working on off and on for my daughter (which is the first thing I'm going to finish).
Time to get off the computer and crochet. I really REALLY like your blog and am adding you to my favorites. Thanks for the link. :)

What do you think of Dean?
I started watching Supernatural recently, and Jensen Ackles has made me consider the name Dean in a whole new light. I realize Dean won't be everyone's cup of tea, but in general what do you think of the name? How do you think it would wear on a guy who doesn't slay monsters? I'm sort of just wanting to get a feel for how Dean is perceived, because it's a name I never see brought up on Nameberry. I'm in the US, if that sways opinions.
Also wanted to add: Dean is currently #284 in the US, with 1230 births in 2011. Anyone else surprised that it ranks that high?Last edited by southern.maple; January 7th, 2013 at 11:58 PM.

I'm not surprised at all. Dean seems very current and sturdy, always under the radar but very cool. I always loved it because of Gilmore Girls, but then I met a Dean who sort of made it not-so-appealing, but I still find it very sturdy and timeless and down-to-earth. I would love meeting a cute little Dean.

I agree with you; I am surprised it ranks that high! If I heard the name, I would assume an older man initially, but I LOVE Dean on a baby! It is very charming, timeless, and recognizable. I think others may be beginning to think that it's time for a comeback for Dean, too (possibly why it is #284, I mean)

We derive eight basic identities of symmetry in three variables related to generalized Euler polynomials and alternating generalized power sums. All of these are new, since there have been results only about identities of symmetry in two variables. The derivations of identities are based on the 𝑝 -adic fermionic integral expression of the generating function for the generalized Euler polynomials and the quotient of integrals that can be expressed as the exponential generating function for the alternating generalized power sums.

Sophie Blackall, a well known children's book illustrator, published an illustrated adult book, Missed Connections: Love Lost & Found -- based on classified ads that appear on Craiglists in New York from people who thought they might have made a connection with a stranger and were now seeking a second chance at meeting that person. Initially, Blackwell kept a blog (and still is) with illustrations derived from the "Missed Connections" classifieds, many of them reading like enigmatic flash fiction and eventually compiled the art and text into the book. The entries are funny, a bit melancholy or hopeful, and really compelling. Blackwell also used some of her favorite characters from the Missed Connection portraits in the subway murals she created that now adorn the subway trains as part of a larger art project for the New York subways. Her murals invite passengers to imagine their own stories of the people pictured.
Here's a video of her discussing her work -- both on Missed Connections and the New York Subway art projects.
And do stop by Design Matters to listen to Debbie Millman interview Sophie Blackall discussing her work -- including her illustrations for Aldous Huxley's only children's book, The Crows of Pearblossom. The book presented something of a challenge as the artist -- a self respecting feminist -- sought subtle ways to undermine the misogynist undertones of Huxley's writing. (via Brain Pickings)

[[caption-width-right:350:Where's your car dude?]]
'''''Dude, Where's My Car?''''' is a 2000 comedy film directed by Danny Leiner. It is about the journey of two young men named Jesse and Chester ([[That70sShow Ashton Kutcher]] and [[AmericanPie Seann William Scott]]) to find their stolen car and figure out what happened the night before after waking up with a house full of pudding. It is a stoner film, although technically only one of the film's characters, a dog, is seen smoking marijuana. But they are referred to as stoners, and their alter egos are allegedly Johnny Potsmoker and Smokey [=McPot=], respectively. The shenanigans they get into were also directly related to them being blazed out of their minds.
The film received poor reviews from critics, but was a modest box-office success, and has developed a large cult following, especially after its DVD and home video release.
The title of the film, originally a reference to ''TheBigLebowski'', has become a benchmark of popular culture of the time of its release. It is referenced widely in many different situations, an example being ''Dude, Where's My Country?'', the title of a political book by Creator/MichaelMoore criticizing the way [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush Bush]] was leading America in the aftermath of [[TheWarOnTerror 9/11]]).
Not even this very wiki is immune. For the trope for situations where characters misplace their motor vehicles, see DudeWheresOurCar.
!! This movie contains examples of:
* AerithAndBob: "My name is Zarnoff. This is Zabu, Zellner, Zelbor, Zelmina and Jeff." Caption: "Jeff".
* ArcWords: The Continuum Transfunctioner is a very mysterious and powerful device.
** And its mystery is only exceeded by its power.
* AsianRudeness: At a drive-through.
** Apparently it's because Chester [[BerserkButton called the Dalai Lama a 'fag']]. If she wasn't rude before, then because of these guys she is now.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever / MakeMyMonsterGrow: Super Hot Giant Alien!
* BigDamnKiss: A very big one between Jesse and Chester.
* BilingualBonus: The written name of the Chinese restaurant translates into the phrase "and then".
* BossSubtitles: Again, Super Hot Giant Alien.
* BreastExpansion: The end after the two leads give the alien necklaces to their girlfriends. This uses the FetishFuel ending, where the girls are happy about their increase and no moral is provided. Notably, the necklaces appear to be reusable.
* TheCameo: Fabio.
** And Kristy Swanson.
* ChekhovsGun: Numerous examples. One example is the lifetime supply of pudding the duo find in their cupboard. This helps them decide which group of mysterious strangers are on their side by asking [[spoiler:what they got the night before during a game of mini-golf where they won it]].
* ChekhovsSkill: An extensive knowledge of Animal Planet trivia saves them from a lunatic ostrich rancher and give Chester the idea to press a hard to reach button with a crazy straw.
** Chester is shown working on a Rubiks cube throughout the movie. When he finally completes it, it turns out to be the Continuum Transfunctioner.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: "We will now use the power of the Continuum Transfunctioner to banish you to [[PlaceWorseThanDeath Hoboken, New Jersey]]."
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: "I refuse to let us go down in history as the dudes who destroyed the universe!"
* DudeWheresOurCar: TropeNamer.
* EatenAlive: The Super Hot Giant Alien makes a quick meal of Tommy. [[spoiler:He survives.]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Super Hot Giant Alien is just what you'd expect.
* {{Expy}}: The black chick is like Juanita from ''BillyMadison''. Only difference is that Juanita enjoys teasing Billy for fun while this chick enjoys messing with people for sadistic pleasure.
* FrenchJerk: Pierre, the ostrich guy.
** Until Chester answers his question correctly. Then he's all smiles, at least with Jesse and Chester. (He's still a jerk with Mark, though).
* FusionDance: The "evil space sluts" into the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Super Hot Giant Alien]].
* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: After realizing that their drunken antics have had much greater consequences than is typical, Jesse suggests that they should perhaps cut back. Chester slaps him and he quickly changes his mind.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Super Hot Giant Alien's pink bunny panties.
* GroinAttack:
** The hippie's dog bites Tommy's balls for touching his pipe.
** Pierre has a "No Trespassing" sign that threatens violators with castration.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Jesse and Chester. [[HoYay Or are they?]]
* HumbleGoal: All Jesse and Chester want is to find their car and get the birthday presents for their girlfriends inside.
* HypocriticalHumor: Pierre bought the guys' car at auction, only for it to go missing in the interim. Jesse has the nerve to ask "How do you just lose a car?"
* ImAHumanitarian: The first thing Super Hot Giant Alien does after [[StealthPun merging and expanding]] is pick Tommy up and [[EatenAlive eat him whole.]]
* InsistentTerminology: "We are not guys, we are hot chicks." Technically, they're neither.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Parodied. Jesse and Chester are interrogated by the cops for a crime they didn't commit, but they don't remember anything from the night before. Thinking they're holding out on them, the cops then bring in a dummy, which they "torture" with beatings, pouring hot coffee in its face, and cigarette burns.
-->'''Chester:''' Leave him alone! He doesn't know anything!
* JerkJock: Tommy.
* TheJoyOfX: The title is often parodied.
* LackOfEmpathy: Kristy couldn't have shown less care about Tommy being [[EatenAlive devoured]] by the Alien giantess if she had eaten him herself. The man was a jerk but he was still her boyfriend.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: Zoltan is introduced by a {{Leitmotif}} played by [[OddNameOut Jeff]] on an electric piano. Jeff carries on a bit longer than intended.
* MacGuffin: The Continuum Transfunctioner. And the car, of course. And the briefcase full of money.
* MythologyGag: Ashton Kutcher's character threatening a Chinese restaurant worker that he will [[That70sShow put his foot in her ass]].
* OvercomplicatedMenuOrder: Inverted when the boys place a fairly straightforward drive-through order and the worker complicates it by repeatedly asking "And then?"
* OverlyLongGag: "And theeeeennn...?"
* PantyShot: We see plenty of Super Hot Giant Alien's "big-ass panties".
* RentAZilla: How many stoner flicks do you know that have a Super Hot Giant Alien?
* RuleOfFunny
* SassyBlackWoman: The impound lot attendant.
* ShaggyDogStory: Jesse and Chester spend the movie needing to find their car. [[spoiler: at the end, everybody's memories from that day are erased so when they wake up they think it's the previous day, with the aliens leaving their car across the street from their house. We never know where the car was all this time.]]
* ShirtlessScene: Where the two main characters find their tattoos.
* StonerFlick: Few other ways to describe a movie with "Dude" in its name.
* StrangeSalute: Zoltan!
* SwallowedWhole: [[spoiler:Tommy]].
* TaughtByTelevision: Chester's endless hours of watching ''AnimalPlanet'' pay off at least twice.
* TitleDrop: About 20 times!
-->'''Jesse''': Dude, where's my car?
-->'''Chester''': Where's your car, dude?
-->'''Jesse''': DUDE! Where's my car?!
-->'''Chester''': Where's your car, dude?!
* TooDumbToLive: Tommy when he decides to keep standing next to the alien giantess instead of running which results in [[spoiler: her eating him alive]]
* TrashOfTheTitans: Boy howdy, the beginning of the movie....
* WhatDidIDoLastNight: The movie starts out here and spirals out of control. "Damn you were wasted last night."
* [[WhosOnFirst Who's On First?]]: [[DontExplainTheJoke They each got tattoos that say "Dude" and "Sweet" on them, respectively]]. Here's how they find out:
--> "Dude, you got a tattoo!"
--> "So do you, dude!"
--> "Dude, what does my tattoo say?"
--> "Sweet! What about mine?"
--> "Dude! What does mine say?"
--> "Sweet! What about mine?"
--> "Dude! What does mine say?"
--> "Sweet! What about mine?"
--> "Dude! What does mine say?"
--> "Sweet. What about mine?"
--> "Dude, what does mine say?"
--> "Sweet. What about mine?"
--> "Dude. What does mine say?"
--> "Sweeeeee-t. What about MINE?"
--> "Duuuuu-de. WHAT DOES MINE SAY?"

Homeowner Resources
Why Organic?Managing your yard as an ecosystem produces a healthy, balanced and attractive outdoor space with less effort, cost and maintenance. An organic yard uses biodiversity, ecological cycles and soil life to support healthy plants, animals and people.Organic Landscaping:
- Eliminates your children, your pets and your own exposure to harmful pesticides, many of which are carcinogens and/or are thought to affect childhood development
- Cuts the costs on repeated chemical applications, gasoline and sprinkler systems by using the free services offered by soil organims, pollinators, compost, plants and beneficial insects
- Makes your yard a force of nature. Promoting biodiversity and choosing native plants supports a self-sustaining yard that is resistent to pests.
- Uses natural fertilizers such as leaves and compost to add soil nutrients to the soil instead of synthetic fertilizers which disrupt soil biology and often run off into rivers polluting freshwater and marine habitats.
- Conserves water by using plants adapted to local rainfall patterns and by incorporating compost and mulch to retain moisture in the soil.
- Encourages beneficial insects to naturally control pests as a form of organic integrated pest management.
Do It Yourself
- By reviewing the Introduction to Organic Lawns and Yards, individuals can learn how to start making a difference in their own yards, lawns and gardens. A pdf version is available online and the booklet is also avilable in our store.
- Keep an eye out for any upcoming Homeowner Workshops in your area.
- Before you do any work on your yard, you'll need to take a Soil Test
- To determine if a horticultural product can be used under the NOFA Standards for Organic Land Care you should check if the product and/or its ingredients are approved on one the product lists maintained by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI)
science behind organic land care, and how to apply these principles at homes, municipal grounds, parks, and fields. You might be looking for a garden or landscape consultant to get you started, or to work all the way through the process of establishing a beautiful, environmentally friendly landscape.

Chocolate and flowers are all the rage this time of year as traditional, romantic Valentine's Day gifts. But once you come off the sugar high and the roses are wilting, what's left?
Instead of flowers that fade or consumable candies, ask your special someone for a gift that lasts. If you ask me, the sweetest treat this February would be a pair of red-hot pumps like the Steve Madden Deedrah (lower right) or darling dotted sneaks like the Vans Old Skool (upper left).
It's time to indulge your loved one (or yourself!) with a different kind of delivery–shoes from Solestruck. And maybe you should throw in a foot massage, too

Gloucestershire Wildfowlers Association
The GWA was formed in 1956 by a small group of local wildfowlers whose vision and foresight laid the foundations of what has since grown into on of the largest wildfowling clubs in the UK. There have been many changes during the clubs history; most notable is the increase in the area of shooting ground available to our members. This now extends to over 30 miles of the Upper Severn Estuary, including both banks. All of these areas are managed for conservation in cooperation with landowners, farmers, conservation partners and government agencies..
A key ongoing objective for the GWA is to introduce the next generation of sportsmen and women to wildfowling. Both in association with BASC and independently we run young shots days every summer which are open to members and non-members alike. These days are carefully designed to intorduce youngsters to country sports in general. These days are always well attended and are an important feature of our underlying principles of promoting Conservation, Education and Recreation on the Severn Estuary.
The association is actively pursuing a land purchase policy, alongside the leasing of new marshes, to preserve responsible and sustainable wildfowling for future generations. The GWA has earned a reputation as being a forward thinking high profile club and is regarded as one of the top ten BASC affiliated Wildfowling associations. New members are always welcome and we have a well established structure for introducing newcomers to the sport.

Financial services company Prudential UK has updated its document generation process to cut the time it takes to generate customer correspondence and help them meet industry regulations.
The company is implementing software from Thunderhead to enable it to manage customer communications across various channels such as voice, mail and the web.
Prudential has already reduced the number of document templates it uses and has speeded up and cut the cost of changing them through migrating them to Thunderhead.
"Thunderhead has allowed us to take control of customer communications across all channels," said Janet Hambly, document manager at Prudential. "New requirements, new regulations and business as usual changes can now be performed in days rather than months without us being dependent upon IT."
The IT department had to update templates in line with changing Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulations such as Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) regulation, which requires organisations to provide consumers with clear information before, during and after the point of sale.

PORTLAND, Maine, Friday—No one need ever tell me that the New England people are not hospitable. I have been asked to stop and eat lobsters with half a dozen people on the way home and, further more, they include the whole family in their invitation. One or two kind people even suggest that I stay awhile and get a rest, and promise to tell no one of my impending visit. But Campobello is a good place to rest and, much as I appreciate all these kind offers, unfortunately, when I leave here I must really head for home and my neglected duties.
I left Campobello and went to Bangor yesterday morning, picked up Mr. Linaka, to help me drive home, spent the night in Portland and am off for Hyde Park.
I only had important personal letters forwarded to me here so I dread to think what both my desk and Miss Thompson's will look like when we get home. I am none the less appreciative and happy to know that we have so many friends in this state.
It was gratifying to see in the paper of the tribute paid to Congressman Mary Norton in the House of Representatives the other day. She is one of our Representatives who has earned the respect and affection of her colleagues. Men and women alike have admired her courage and her wisdom gained in her long years of public service.
I have been reading the galley proofs on the last volumes of my husband's letters which will appear late this autumn. I find a number of notes to Mrs. Norton which attest to his appreciation of her services, and I know that unless he had been genuinely fond of her he would not have written as he did. It is not often that an ardent Democrat like Mary Norton is praised by men representing both political philosophies. I have long had the privilege of calling Mrs. Norton my friend, and though I am sorry to see her leave public life, I hope I shall see her more often, and be able to consult her frequently on the many problems which concern us all as citizens.
The other day I read very thoroughly one of four most learned columnists and I was interested to see that he shares my feelings about a recent speech delivered by Mr. Stassen. It seems to me that too many important people advise that actions be taken without thinking through carefully enough the full implications that might follow the acceptance of their suggested course of action. Just now any action that might lead to a total war, which would inevitably embroil the greater part of the world, seems to me to require very mature reflection.
No one wants war, therefore anyone who plays into the hands of a government that might be willing to go to war is playing the game as that government wants it played. Sometimes I think the Soviets win their greatest victories by making us adopt their tactics, and by forcing us to say things which appear to indicate that we really are considering preparing for aggression. Nothing is further from the thoughts of our people, and, fortunately for us, our government cannot go to war until the people are convinced that it is the only thing our country can do to preserve our freedom and our honor.

Alright, I couldn't resist the color block trend any longer. Time for a new DIY!
Here's the story: I've had this yellow wallet for years, and since I bought a new one recently, old yellow is not really getting any use. So I grabbed some of my trusty textile paint and got to work. Now I am using it as a colorful clutch for lunch dates with friends. Wanna make your own? Here's the breakdown (two ways)…
- old wallet (marks and scuffs are okay)
- textile paint (I prefer Jacquard Textile Paint)
- paint brush
- an old rag or paper towels
How to Make it (part I): Distressed Paint Technique
1. Clean your wallet as best you can with a little soap and water (or leather cleaner). If you used yours as much as I used mine, you need to clean it girl!
2. You can do this two ways. I'm going to show you the color blocking one last because it's pretty straight forward. So for those that are looking for something more unique and distressed instead of bold (and beautiful).
Grab your paint brush and start with one small(ish) section at a time.
3. As the paint is drying, take your rag or paper towel and start lightly wiping the paint away. You can experiment with this technique and just have fun with. At times, I even added a little water to my rag to remove large areas of paint and then went back into it once it was dry.
4. Continue to layer your paint and then wipe off in certain areas to get that distressed look.
Here's the finished piece…
How to Make it (part II): Color Blocking
1. Again, clean your wallet as best you can with a little soap and water (or leather cleaner).
2. Now I am going to show the color blocked version. It's pretty simple. First, choose your color combo. I picked red-orange and fuchsia textile paint and decided at the last minute to keep a pop of the original yellow as well.
3. Next, it's time to grab your paint brush and paint away. Pay close attention to even strokes and don't be afraid to layer up! I ended up painting at least three coats of the red since it's a bright color and I wanted it to really pop. Here's an in-process shot of the layers as I was building them up…
4. Choose an area for your accent color (optional). I don't have a picture of this part, but it is pretty self explanatory. My wallet had a natural place to add my accent color, find yours if you want it to look like you bought it that way. If you want to share your artistic side, choose a less expected area for your accent color – maybe a fun shape or stripes.
Here's the finished piece…
I like the color blocked version better than the distressed look from part I. What do you think? Which is your favorite?

Touch and Discover
Today Jack had a playdate with his wee pal Jake. He wore the Cos Raglan sleeve baseball tee. I love Cos for me, so it's no wonder Jack's wardrobe includes quite a few pieces from the kids range.
Have you ever gone out of your way to find a certain toy from your childhood for your own little one? I have. One Christmas Santa brought me a Texas Instruments Touch and Discover. I loved it so much! My siblings and I had years of fun out of the thing. The 'touch screen' was simply ahead of its time. I had been on the lookout for a T&D on eBay, they're pretty rare now, but eventually someone listed one - in great condition with the original box and instructions no less! I won it for a mere 99p! Below Jack is enjoying learning about transportation (his favourite subject!). Who needs an iPad when you have one of these babies? Hopefully my little beauty will get as many years of joy from this as we did.

Men's final
Paul-Henry Mathieu vs Sjeng Schalken
PAul- Henry had a not very good start, he got broken in the first game, probably because he was nervous and couldn't break back the whole set, Sjeng won it 6-4. He was playing to Paul-Henry's backhand a lot from which he made quite a few errors.
Paul-Henry started the second set as Sjeng started the first- he broke his opponents serve, he then ran to his chair with a Come On
That was not the only break of serve in that set, MAthieu won it 6-2. By that time he was really pumped and very lucky, Sjeng didn't know what to do with him, he was running down almost everything. The backhand that didn't work switched on and he hit some unbelievable winners down the line. Sjeng tried going to the net but the passing shots were too good. The third set was like the ending of the second- absolutely no chance for Schalken- Paul- Henry's game was too powerful and everything (even most of the crowd)was on his side. He took it 6-0 quickly. He then ran to his coach who congratulated him
At the ceremony Sjeng congratulated Mathieu on a great win and said that he was just too good in the second and third sets. He added that next year hopefully he will go further.
Paul-Henry was speaking French. He said that he was really happy that his first tournament win happened in Moscow, he really liked it here and next year he will come back nad will try to defend his title. He also thanked his coach

Lowe's Home Improvement's come up with a novel way to get an early jump on the post-Thanksgiving Black Friday shopping craze. The chain's launching a Facebook promotion with some seriously steep discounts. Lowe's officials are calling it their "Black Friday Sneak Peek Party," and it starts on Nov. 5. That's when they'll list some of their Black Friday deals on their Facebook fan page. The deals will be valid online beginning on Thanksgiving and in stories on Black Friday.
But as an extra attraction for fans who come to check things out early, Lowe's is putting up videos that will include coupon codes for 90 percent off "a few select items," according to spokeswoman Colleen Carbott. One of the videos was done by NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson. Those who find the codes can redeem them online immediately. Tried to get my man Jeff Elder, former Observerite turned Lowe's social media guru, to tell me what some of the hot items are, but he's been sworn to corporate secrecy.
I sure could use a new barbecue grill...

Wow. That's a way to use social media to its fullest. I wonder how Lowe's is getting the word out about their promotion, aside from your blog post??!!! I could use some new flooring!

The offer is close to the century best business. No one can ever compete that, or come with a better idea when it's about branding and selling this up..

Won't open on my 920 either, I'll check it on the PC tomorrow.
Now what I would I like to know is how to turn off that loud sound when taking the screenshot. I have the phone set to vibrate, but no luck.. (and no, that ODF never loaded for me either. Reported it to Nokia, who said the following. Not too helpful.

Okay, I'm claiming insanity here. I can't FIND the screenshots after I take them. They are NOT in Photos>Screenshots as that option doesn't even exist on my 920. I've searched high and low...okay, I fumbled around and then came here...but alas, I am screenshot illiterate. Thoughts (other than I'm an imbecile)?
Works on my HTC 8x too. Thanks for the info.

A screenshot captures whatever is on the screen of your phone. People use this to be able to share what they are on seeing on their phone. This is often used for instruction or troubleshooting.
Thanked by: - 08-09-2013, 07:31 AM #18
I've been a member of this site for months and I've often wondered "how are these people able to screenshot their phones?"
I even went and searched the Marketplace for an app.
Serves me right for not reading the manual.
Its never been a big thing for me and I've never really been that bothered about it, just I'm sitting here bored at work so I thought I'd have a quick look online..
Oh well, live and learn. -

Carbohydrates (carbs), lipids (fats) and proteins are the three basic nutrients provided by our diet.
While carbohydrates and lipids primarily ensures energy contribution to body protein have, above all, a more important structural function. They are therefore essential for growth, maintenance and renewal of tissues and muscle fibers.
Proteins are molecules composed of a set of elementary units, called amino acids. During digestion, the amino acids are separated, to be subsequently recombined by the body in the form of another type of protein, structural or functional. These proteins can not be stored by the body, so it must be renewed by the power to strike a balance between degraded proteins (catabolism) and proteins synthesized by the body (anabolism), thereby ensuring the maintenance and muscle development. A regular protein intake and quality is therefore necessary to relieve the induced muscle catabolism sports. Different types of proteins essential for growth and muscle recovery, proteins have a special place in the diet of athletes. There are many different forms, which can be a source of confusion for the uninitiated. Want to continue reading this news comes on the blog for more information>>>.

Cream of Beat
DJ Paul Oakenfold reinvented Ibiza. Can he reinvent Santa Clara?
By Gina Arnold
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO on a gray day in Falkirk, Scotland, my friends and I wanted to see Honest, the movie starring the British girl group All Saints. Unfortunately, it was so bad that the Falkirk cinema had pulled it off the screen before the end of the first week. We had the choice of going home to tea (my first choice) or seeing Kevin and Perry Go Large, a teen comedy about rave music based on two characters from a British TV comedy show. We opted for the latter. It was currently the number one film in Britain, and upon viewing it, I could understand why.
Kevin and Perry are two sullen teenage boys and best friends. They are, like suburban teenage boys everywhere, incredibly horny, incredibly pimply, and incredibly speechless; plus, they really hate their parents. The only thing that distinguishes them from similarly sociologically placed American teenage boys is that, instead of wishing to be the lead guitarist in a heavy metal rock band like their American spiritual twins Wayne and Garth, they wish they were club DJs. They convince his parents to take them to Ibiza for a holiday, in order to party 'til they drop at that Mediterranean island's famous rave clubs and lose their virginity. Various hijinks ensue, mostly to do with their interactions with the villainous Eyeball Paul, the island's hottest and most obnoxious DJ, and in the end all comes out right.
Kevin and Perry is hilarious, but more importantly, it's instructive. What I learned from it is that in every country but America, house and techno music has gone from being the soundtrack at cool, underground haunts to the music beloved of the suburbs. I also learned that Ibiza, far from being the hippy-trippy glamorous club resort it seems from afar, is vulgar, crass and lowbrow--the Branford Missouri of electronica. Judging by the movie, Ibiza doesn't cater to the Liam Gallaghers of the world, but to people like Kevin and Perry.
Ibiza is also the stomping ground of Paul Oakenfold, who practically invented the island as Rave Central back in 1987. Legend has it that Oakenfold went to Ibiza (the smallest of the three Spanish Balearic Islands) with three pals that summer to hear a Spanish DJ named Alfredo. Oakenfold dropped some E and was instantly transformed into the helm of British music subculture, a DJ supreme whose ability to turn crowds on and off and up and over the top was second to none. Indeed, according to one dedicated site on the Internet, after Oakenfold returned from Ibiza and began spinning one night a week at the London club Heaven, "British popular culture underwent its greatest upheaval since the kids tore out their cinema seats watching Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock."
From this distance, that claim seems like something of an exaggeration, but it is true that, back in the day (1988), club and house music and clubs like Amnesia and Cream on Ibiza, Heaven in London and Tunnel in New York were massively influential to popular music in general. The sound did not remain the same. Before Ibiza, the four-piece guy band was de rigueur; afterwards, bands and acts like Massive Attack, Portishead, Garbage, Tricky and Dido contributed cool, trippy, sonic blends of samples and songs and instruments for a sound that is very much new millennium.
It is true, also, that older bands like U2 and Radiohead have been swayed by the sound of house music. Even without Oakenfold's help, their post-'80s work no longer sounds like that of a mere guitar-bass-drum, but is more orchestral, more beat-happy, more textured and more now.
So Paul Oakenfold has definitely made his mark, and is still making it, it seems: 13 years after swallowing that first tab of E, he has a new label Perfecto and a new LP Bust a Groove due out Feb. 26. Meanwhile, he tours the world as special guest to various raves, and to each darkened club he enters he leaves a faint afterglow of Ibiza in 1987, a glistening track-of-cool like that of a dayglo snail. It's a long way from the corner of Homestead Road and Lawrence Expressway to the sunny sands of San Antonio (the main port in Ibiza). That trail must be becoming fainter and fainter but it's not quite gone yet.

Rate on the scary scale from 1-10 (10 being the most freaked out): 10!!!
Yes, I'm standing in this bathroom. Those stalls are WAY TOO SMALL! |
Yes, I'm standing in this bathroom. Those stalls are WAY TOO SMALL! |
Can I just save this pic as my desktop screen saver, so I can show all the guys in the office, and they will all ask "dude, who's the short chick in the bullet-riddled toilet...
Oh, I know I *don't* work in an office, but I'm just saying...this has to be the funniest pic of at least April 2012... and possibly May, too :)
I'm not afraid, but I do avoid! I just hate public bathrooms and will not go into one unless I absolutely must, must, must and the bladder is full, full, full! When camping, my metabolism shuts down for 3-4 days at a time, and I only go pee - in the bushes! (Thank goodness for private campsites!)
ReplyDeleteOh my God, I've had this moment! Not with bullets though. But I donated blood a few years ago and got cocky and didn't take all the proper steps to make sure I didn't, y'know, pass out. So I was sitting on the toilet, and I started feeling really dizzy, and my only thought was, "Oh, I cannot pass out with my pants down." Of course, standing up probably made me pass out faster. But I got my pants up and buttoned! So I totally understand this fear.
ReplyDeleteohhh.... I peed myself reading this... first real laugh of the day. I am a germ-a-phobe, I cannot even begin to tell you, my biggest fear.
Great start... to the challenge "B" is for Brilliant!
Jeremy [Retro-Zombie]
A to Z Co-Host
IZOMBIE: Visit the Madness
Kyra: Morning coffee? Where do you live when it's 1:00 my time?
Marta: Right? Being pregnant was awful cuz I peed all the time! I couldn't even squat in the bushes cuz I'd never be able to get back up. Someone would have to help me get the pants up and wipe and stuff... ya, no thanks. :)
Amber: Pop a squat... hehe! I've mastered that too from all my girl's camping trips.
Suzi: Side of the road as long as no one can see me with my pants down. But if I'm with another girl, then in the stall and she'll stand guard with a can of pepperspray.
When I was a kid, there used to be TV commercials that showed how super clean the soap was by showing the well muscled man's hand reaching out of the washer. My child's mind, of course, did its own thing with the image and shifted it to the toiled. I was always afraid that giant hand would pull me down into the world of turds.
ReplyDeleteLol, I felt bad laughing, but you wrote about this with such amazing humor. And I totally hear ya, dying on the toilet and having to be found that way is totally something I've thought of and feared.
Sometimes, instead of dying, I think that it's while I'm on the toilet or in the shower that someone is going to bust into my apartment to steal stuff. So random, ^_^
You are a too freaking cute!
I was laughing the whole time I read this. But I do understand why this would be a fear. LOL!
Happy Monday!
Jaycee's A-Z
Ilima: Really a big huge 10!
Lara: Ya, public bathrooms are just all around horrible.
Leigh: If we ever get together, and I gotta go, you are guarding the door. :)
KS: Don't feel bad laughing, lol. I get laughed at because of this all the time!
I always think an earthquake will go as soon as I hop in the shower or something. :)
Tracy: Oh gosh! What if it they weren't clean and around your ankles? AGH!
Suzi: But it'll give me time to pull up my pants!
Jasmine: Will do!
Rachel: Nice to meet cha!
Leigh: Ah the loo... I always spelled it lou, lol. And I'm about to admit a whole bunch of crazy things this month. We'll see if I keep up the bravery, lol.
True story... the first house my husband and I lived in, there was a big window level with the edge of the tub. I stepped into the tub, slipped on a bar of soap and my ONLY thought was...I cannot go out the window and land in the alley naked.
So, I completely understand that weird sorta fear.
Tyson: Lol, thanks :)
Tara: Ya, that pic was more about the stall being so short, but I pulled a face anyway, lol.
Jackie: Thanks :)
Hope: I'm not tall at all! 5'7 or just a little under that. I'm not in heels or anything in this pic. Those potties were tiny!
Emily: That scene traumatized me!
So, I'm a wee (pun totally intended) bit late to this potty party. I can relate cassie! Thought there was no need to follow the rules the one night I was laid up in the hospital after our oldest was born. Passed out on the john... Woke to my husband holding me to his chest like a rag doll! Well, more like a Betsy Wetsy doll that is. All that ran through my mind? Please. Shoot. Me. Now.

Paris has hosted an annual photo month long exhibit, the Paris Photo, for some time and this year the show features over 120 galleries from across the globe but this year planners are going against the grain and doing it without a theme. Aimed at allowing visitors to discovery every facet of photography the event is the largest of its kind.
Paris Photo, the annual fair bringing together more than 120 galleries from around the world, has eschewed a theme this year, instead asking director David Lynch to pick his favorite images on display. The 99 photographs he selected are identified in the fair, which runs from today to Sunday at the Grand Palais, and gathered in a book published by Steidl, on sale for 20 euros, or $25 at current exchange.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Though often described with foreboding buzzwords such as "The Great Firewall" and the "censorship regime," Internet regulation in China is rarely either obvious or straightforward. This was the inspiration for China specialist Jason Q. Ng to write an innovative computer script that would make it possible to deduce just which terms are suppressed on Chinas most important social media site, Sina Weibo. The remarkable and groundbreaking result is Blocked on Weibo, which began as a highly praised blog and has been expanded here to list over 150 forbidden keywords, as well as offer possible explanations why the Chinese government would find these terms sensitive. As Ng explains, Weibo (roughly the equivalent of Twitter), with over 500 million registered accounts, censors hundreds of words and phrases, ranging from fairly obvious terms, including "tank" (a reference to the "Tank Man" who stared down the Chinese army in Tiananmen Square) and the names of top government officials (if they cant be found online, they can't be criticized), to deeply obscure references, including "hairy bacon" (a coded insult referring to Maos embalmed body). With dozens of phrases that could get a Chinese Internet user invited to the local police station "for a cup of tea" (a euphemism for being detained by the authorities), Blocked on Weibo offers an invaluable guide to sensitive topics in modern-day China as well as a fascinating tour of recent Chinese history. Synopsis:What did Chinese authorities do in July 2009 when tensions between the predominantly Muslim population of Chinas Xinjiang province and authorities escalated into violent riots? They turned off the Internet in Xinjiang. This inspired China scholar Jason Q. Ng to devise a computer script to test all 700,000 terms in Chinese Wikipedia to see which ones are routinely censored on Sina Weibo, Chinas version of Twitter, which currently has over 300 million users. The result was the groundbreaking and highly praised Blocked on Weibo blog, expanded here into a book. Ranging from fairly obvious words, such as "tank" (a reference to the "Tank Man" who stared down the Chinese army in Tiananmen Square) and the names of top government officials (if they cant be found online, they cant be criticized), to deeply obscure terms, such as "The Four Gentlemen" (though it means a set of four traditional flowers, it can also refer to various quartets of dissidents) and "hairy bacon" (a coded insult for Maos embalmed body), Blocked on Weibo collects many of the phrases that could get a Chinese Internet user invited to the local police station "for a cup of tea"—a euphemism for being illegally detained by the authorities. An invaluable guide to sensitive topics in modern-day China, Blocked on Weibo exposes the fissures between the idealized society that Chinese authorities dream of having and the actual one that Chinese netizens are creating each day.
