No More Heroes -- Please rate this review
Before you ask, and generally speaking many of you will, the game isnt like GTA. If you saw trailers of the game and were expecting something akin to Saints Row then look elsewhere, because this game really isnt that type of game. On the other hand, if youre expecting a game with crazy characters and story, along with solid but fun combat, then this game is most certainly for you.
But lets not simplify the overview to that, No More Heroes deserves much more attention. For one thing, theres not any game I know of on the Wii which is similar in near-on any regard, but then, same can be said for the 360 and PS3 too. Is it a good thing that a game like this is a somewhat rare experience? Personally, Ill say I dunno.
Because No More Heroes is something of a unique experience, we can get the best from it without having anything else to compare it to. See, the game does have quite a few flaws, and if it were a game of a genre filled with rivals, then wed probably shun it aside.
What Im basically saying here is that, while the game is a great game under the current circumstances, there are plenty of areas where it could have been better. If there were other games similar then wed surely expect to see those improvements implemented in No More Heroes, but at the moment the developers can get away with it. In fact, if the future is anything to go by, the developers can get away with it as long as they want, as games like these unfortunately dont gain as much attention as the likes of FPS. Itll not be surprising if this is the first and last game of this type, which is a shame. But lets be grateful the game has been created at all, otherwise wed be very upset indeed.
Anyway, the game itself is broken down into two main areas: combat and making cash. The former is most certainly the best aspect of the game, offering extremely addictive and enjoyable gameplay. While the game doesnt push the boundaries with the Wii-remote (instead offering the player the opportunity to swing the remote to finish off an enemy or execute a wrestling move) it still allows for a form of fluid combat not seen in other games. You do use the Wii-remote physically for other functions of the game, but in-general its not used to a huge degree which suggests to me that No More Heroes could have also been released on another console to boost sales. I doubt many gamers would hurt too bad using a PS2 controller to play the game instead of a Wii-remote.
Alas, the times the combat is at its best in No More Heroes is when you face off against any of the ten assassins you must destroy. These serve as the main boss battles of the game, and as youd expect each boss has his/her specific strengths and weaknesses. What adds to these battles, though, is the superb cut-scenes before and after the action which serve to elevate the game beyond the pointless story leading to boss battles in other games.
If anything, the general layout of No More Heroes is similar to Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2. While that may sound bizarre (perhaps even more bizarre than the game itself... okay, thats probably not possible), the games share a similar angle in that the players main goal is to hunt down and eliminate a set amount of strong foes. The difference with No More Heroes is that you have to earn cash to progress to the next hunt, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your stance.
Like I said, fighting the bosses is easily the highest point of the game, but taking part in any of the many sub-missions simply isnt as good. So if youre expecting the game to be running at 100% quality all of the time then youll be disappointed, but personally I was okay doing sub-missions. Sure, theyre not as good as fighting bosses, but theyre still enjoyable for the most part, and serve to make you not only better at the game, but also to allow you to explore and enjoy the environment around you.
One missed opportunity that could have made the environment better, is the prospect of assassins ranked below you trying to take you out. Driving down the road from your motel only to be attacked on the street in a showdown against an assassin after your rank would have been pretty cool.
Fortunately there are plenty of things to do, which extend the lifespan of the game greatly. Any game thats not an RPG but can last 20 hours gets an immediate plus point from me. Im sure people are sick of paying their hard earned cash to play a game which can barely last 5 hours offline. So with No More Heroes youre guaranteed a long and enjoyable adventure, but just remember that youll only enjoy it if you can deal with lesser but still good quality side-missions.
The missions themselves vary from things such as merely killing a room full of baddies, to collecting litter from the streets. The downside to these is that if you make a mistake or want to try again, you cant press start and try again, instead you have drive all the way back to the quest-giver, then all the way back to the mission again. This is especially annoying if youre aiming for gold medals, though to be quite honest youre not missing out on much if you decide not to be a perfectionist. The game offers little in the way of incentives for gaining highest scores or collecting all the secret stashes of money and T-Shirts littered about the place. So its just as well that the game doesnt allow for mission restarts.
As I mentioned, youll drive to quest-givers and quest areas. Youll do this by using a bike-like vehicle that can use a speed boost and jump over other vehicles. The area your character lives in Travis Touchdown is quite large, so using the bike is preferable, although it is rather clunky to use at times, and not really a hugely enjoyable experience.
You can, however, use currency and red balls (think Hidden Packages) to help boost Travis abilities, one of which allows him to run faster, so if you really hate the bike then running around on foot is somewhat acceptable. Besides, finding hidden stashes of cash and T-Shirts will be easier on foot anyhow. But being able to boost stats adds a nice layer of depth to the game, and helps give further incentive for taking part in the sub-missions for more cash.
Shame theres no incentive to want to explore the land just for fun, as the game does tend to look pretty bad when youre driving about. Textures load very slowly, and so can be visibly seen changing, while buildings and other objects pop-up in the distance and make the whole experience look ugly. Maybe its to be expected when the game doesnt use loading while exploring, but it still doesnt make you feel better when you see the visuals all over the place. The only thing which looks particularly good in the game is the character models. Theyre akin to the cel-shaded look of characters in Killer7, and have all the animations and sounds to help the player relate to them more.
As for the overall sound, the game sounds pretty good most of the time. The voice-acting is particularly excellent, which again makes the boss battles even more enjoyable. The music gets the job done, and the sound effects emanating from Travis weapon vent fond pictures of Jedis in combat.
The whole tone of the game is weird, bizarre and actually quite funny. Its not one which all people will understand or get (not that I think youre actually supposed to get what the game is), but it can be fully appreciated if you allow yourself to absorb into the experience. Its the overall tone, partnered with the excellent combat, which keeps the game from the slightly above average stature.
On the other hand, had the game made better use of visuals, side-mission functionality and gaming incentives, then wed be looking at a definite 9/10 effort here. What we have though, is a game that probably wont see a sequel or indeed anything similar at all. With that in mind, No More Heroes achievements are displayed at a greater level than one would expect, and allows for me to say, without any hesitation, that its most certainly worth owning.

Re: No More Heroes -- Please rate this review
hey UltimoCroft, thanks for the review.
Quick impressions:
> overall, this review would benefit from being a little more streamlined... being maybe about half the length it is now would give it more pop.
> the first four paragraphs are spent sort of qualifying the things you're about to say... no need to be so cautious. make a bold statement!
> the tone is pretty conversational. maybe kick it up a notch in terms of formality and you'll be in business.
thanks for posting!
Drink Coffeecola. It's good and good for you!

Re: No More Heroes -- Please rate this review
Good start to a review. I agree with Brad in particular about the length. Pick the theme or items about the game that interested you most (or bothered you the most!) and focus on those. Doing so will tighten the writing a lot.
I noticed you use a lot of second person (all those "you's" at the beginning), and that's a habit you'll want to break. I used to do that here and there in my reviews as well; so I know where you're coming from. Same for the "we's."
I like that you mention the way the game does some things, and what you'd like to have seen also or instead. Such as incentive to explore for fun, or being attacked by lower-rung assassins.

Re: No More Heroes -- Please rate this review
Cheers for the input guys; I do admit that some of my reviews do tend to be quite long, so I need to shorten them down a bit. I've had to not list some of my other reviews because they're too long to post! I could probably post them section-by-section but I don't want to put anyone off by having so much text.
But yeah, thanks again chaps.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more XC Full Suspension in stock than that.View Similar Products
Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy Carbon - 2012 $0.00
At 5 pounds, the Santa Cruz Tallboy is one of the lightest, if not the lightest full-suspension 29er available -- by a pound or two in most cases. But light is only just that, and it's only worth something if it's paired with handling and toughness -- and the full-carbon Tallboy has plenty of each. Handling is a function of a number of things working in harmony -- geometry, stiffness and suspension design. The 100mm travel Tallboy keeps things tight, and climbs like a rocket thanks to a responsive, compact 17.5" chainstay on each of the medium through XXL sizes. This works to keep the wheelbase in check and allow for a more stable 71 degree head angle. All this and room for a 2.5" tire. Bring on the twisty singletrack!
With their third carbon bike, it's clear that Santa Cruz is supremely confident in their composite fabrication processes. Given our experiences with the Blur XC Carbon and Blur LT Carbon, so are we. Frankly, they're nothing short of amazing. Why? Santa Cruz recognized that the frame couldn't just be light, just be stiff, or just be strong. It had to be all three. That was their target, and they blew it out of the water. They achieved it through three unique carbon processes:
1) One-piece lay-up and curing. By laying up the front triangle at once, as opposed to assembling joints that require bonding or wrapping, Santa Cruz eliminates excess material and weight. As you might imagine, this is a very costly process as each size requires dedicated tooling.
2) Continuing fibers around tube junctions. The resulting structure distributes loads and absorbs impact energy better because the one-piece layup process allows for continuous fibers that wrap between tubes. Just like with the Blur XC Carbon, there is nary a rivet or bond to be found. Yes, we did say it absorbed impact better.
3) Net shape lay-up and fiber compaction. The one-piece lay-up and curing process allows Santa Cruz to control the outside shape, the inside shape, and to compact the fibers during the lay-up. The frame looks as good if not better on the inside as it does on the outside -- there's nothing there except carbon. Sweet, smooth carbon.
The result is an über-stiff carbon chassis, paired with the new generation of VPP. It's the same Virtual Pivot Point Design (VPP) that graced the recent redesigns of the Blur XC and Blur LT -- completely different than the prior iteration. The totally redesigned upper and lower links flatten out the shock rate and provide a more active feel to the early end of the axle path. It allows the rear wheel to move up and back as you ride over a bump. It balances the downward force of your pedaling with the pulling force of the chain through its link configuration and axle path. The resulting movement makes it even easier to roll over a bump, or through a dip.
The VPP design also prevents pedal-induced compression and lock-out, and the suspension doesn't change whether or not you're in the saddle. Whether it is rolling through rock gardens, climbing water bars, descending stairs, or riding on lumpy fire roads, the suspension is active and responsive, even driving the rear wheel into the ground when pedaling furiously, enhancing the bike's traction and climbing characteristics. Pair that with the natural advantages of the bigger wheels on a 29er, and you've got a helluva ride.
They added a carbon fiber upper link to both shave weight and enhance lateral stiffness. Easily-serviceable grease ports were added to the aluminum alloy lower link (grease gun and grease included). The pivots now have beefy 15mm locking axle-pins. They run on intricately-sealed bearings with one-way purging seals that should last the life of the frame, and don't creak or loosen. For the people who want every lightweight feature addressed, Santa Cruz topped it off with titanium bolts in all the places that made good sense. What does this all mean? You can ride the you-know-what out of it, and rest easy.
The Tallboy yields 100mm of plush VPP suspension thanks to a Fox Float RP23, a lightweight, reliable shock that is easy to adjust and doesn't have too many confusing fine-tuning options. The three position Propedal lever provides a platform option to maximize efficiency during extended out-of-the-saddle climbing.
To enhance stiffness and tracking, the frame utilizes the same mixed tapered headset -- 1.5" lower race with a 1-1/8" internal upper race -- as the Blur LTc. It accepts 100 or 120mm travel forks with standard 1-1/8" or tapered steerers. Owing to the cross-country design, the frame has ISO brake mounts that can take up to 185mm rotors.
The Santa Cruz Tallboy is available in Gloss Blue, Matte Carbon/red, Matte Carbon/silver, and Orange/White in medium through XXL sizes. It requires a 30.9 seatpost and a 34.9mm traditional top pull front derailleur. The right dropout has a replaceable derailleur hanger. There are braze-ons for both a down tube water bottle cage and an under the down tube water bottle cage. The frame has a two year warranty against manufacturing defects, while the bearings are guaranteed for life.
US Santa Cruz dealers are prohibited from shipping Santa Cruz bicycles outside of the United States.
- Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) suspension design eliminates pedal bob while maintaining a plush response to trail obstacles
- Tapered head tube adds front end stiffness, and accommodates the use of newer forks with tapered steerer tubes
- Replaceable derailleur hanger keeps a little accident from being atrociously expensive
- Integrated chainstay wrap provides protection against chain slap
- Grease ports and locking collet axle heads provide simple, user-friendly maintenance

Good day to you guys! do you have Medium...
Good day to you guys! do you have Medium available and do you ship this sweet frame to Courtenay BC. Please respond... will be waiting. Many thanks!
It would appear to me that at the time of this posting, the only available size that BC has in stock is an XXL. As for whether or not BC ships this frame to Courtenay, British Columbia, they do not; unfortunately, there are a number of brands that Backcountry stocks which, due to restrictions imposed by the manufacturers whose products BC purveys, they cannot ship outside the United States. I've included a shortened URL of those brands if you want to check it out (http://tinyurl.com/lg4ybt2). Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
what rear shock should i replace mine with...
what rear shock should i replace mine with as i want to completly lock my shock out
Don't know about complete lockout, but I use the latest Fox Float CTD shock. It's pretty stiff in climb mode and a good upgrade over the older RP23 shock.
Upgraded from my Blur XC Carbon to 29" wheels. I LOVE the Tallboy. I'm actually quite surprised how much I prefer it over the Blur. It's light, it's stiff and it's fast. The latest frames have a 142mm rear axle which makes things stiff, but check with customer service so you know what you're getting and you get the right rear wheel. I'm running mine with a 156 Q-factor crank, which seems to be now approved by Santa Cruz in the latest revision,.
just purchased one myself, love it! just have problems with the rear sue as i do many stage race events and can't lock my rear sue out. any good ideas and advice on what i should replace it with

Essential for my cats' health
By Catwoman
from Shreveport, LA
This supplement has done wonders for all three of my cats. Since they are fed canned food I noticed that they were having stomach issues and would vomit regularly. Since administering this product, I have found that the vomiting has stopped and their energy level has increased. It is easily mixed in their food and I give the recommended dosage to all three of my cats. This product has been really beneficial to their overall health as well as an essential part of their morning and evening meals.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
this stuff really works !
By Laura
from Northridge, CA
My lab was having loose stools, bad breath, allergy type ear infections. I started using Vital Digest, it took about 2 weeks to notice a change. The loose stools and the bad breath were the first I noticed to clear up,the ear infections going away was an added bonus, I now give it to him once a day to keep his system running good :-)

Great Stuff!
By Lois
from New Jersey
I give her a heaping teaspoon with her food and mix it in. She also gets the powdered vitamins mixed with it too. My dog is almost 15 yrs & a mixed lab. She had really bad breath cause she wasn't digesting her food. After a few days of giving her the vital digest I noticed her breath was better. I didn't have to fan her away when she was in my face. I'm very happy with this product and make sure I don't run out.

Working great for my kitties
By Cat Lover
from Texas
I have some kitties who are very particular about stuff that is added to their food but as long as I mix it in well (for the picky ones) they eat it right up with no problems. It seems to have helped my cats get well much faster after we had an upper respiratory issue and a gastrointestinal issue run through the household within weeks of each other. No side effects have been noticed and everyone seems to be feeling much better
This produce works for my cat
By L Shaffer
from Birch Tree, MO
I bought this because I have a cat the was throwing up her meals. Either right after she ate or with in 30 to 4o min. I had taken her to the vet a few months ago and it seemed to stop. Now she is doing it again so I ordered this Vital Digest and started giving it to her. It has taken about a week but she is not throwing up anymore after she eats. There is dry food down for all the cats and they get wet food morning and night. As long as I do not let her eat more than her share she is doing fine. I am pleased that I can give her something natural to help with this problem.

Delighted by results
By VictoriaPB
from Reston, VA
I am confident that this easy additive helped save my pet's life. My 17 year old feline boy with long-term renal disease was diagnosed with hyper thyroid earlier this year. I always believed in healing through nutrition but got laze with the cumbersome raw food diet and switched to premium cans for a few years and thought he was doing OK. Apparently not. His weight continued to plummet even w/the meds, appetite was on and off so his vet decided to double the dose of the thyroid med. My pet essentially shut down and I prepared for the last act of kindness and let him go with dignity. He was no better than an advanced stage alzheimers patient, barely 6 lbs, no interest in anything. Then, at the last minute, I did more research, learned that one of side effects from this med is anorexia/depression and decided to throw caution to the wind - reduced his meds to original lower level but split gel delivery into am/pm dose, switched back to raw (frozen, pre-made), added another brand's renal support powder, a little extra Vit B6 & 12, and this enzyme. BINGO! Each day my pet continued to improve and just a few weeks later is unrecognizable - he returned to his old pre-sickness health and for a senior cat is as sassy as one years younger. Instead of a good-bye I now expect more years not hours with him. He is now 3 1/2 lbs heavier and still getting better. Each little bit of nutrition is so precious that this inexpensive additive allows him to retain the most of what he eats. I will never own a pet (dog/cat/anything) without this on hand. Have already recommended it to anyone who would listen. Bravo!

The team is one of the three soccer teams that made Liberty City their home. Red mist is a term given to a large quantity of blood flow, implying that this soccer team is violent and possibly referencing to violence in soccer.
Red Mist XI are most likely based on the New York Red Bulls, a real life professional soccer team, playing in the MLS. The crest is loosely based on Columbus Crew's, an MLS team from Ohio.

We've assembled this on-line encyclopedia of knitting
and crochet facts, abbreviations and instructions to help you find
exactly the information that you need to make your project a
success! You can probably immediately find the information you need by typing key words or phrases
into the search box below.
Once you have your knit pieces finished, assemble them by sewing them together. The seaming technique used depends on the type of stitch used in the piece and whether you are making a vertical or a horizontal seam.
To join two pieces together, thread a darning needle with the same yarn used to make the garment. Place the edges of the garment side by side with the right sides (the sides that people will see) FACING OUT.
Stitch up the sides as shown, alternating from side to side.
JOINING STOCKINETTE STITCH ('Mattress Stitch')
With the right sides (knit sides) facing you, begin seaming as for the beginning illustration of joining garter stitch. Working from side to side, go under the horizontal bar one stitch in from the edge as shown.
With the right sides facing you, align the shoulders and insert the yarn needle under one complete stitch as shown. Work inside the bind-off edge for a seamless look.

Real plots, fully fleshed out characters, themes, subtext, actual emotion....these are things we've been craving as we endure the last gasp of the summer season. But luckily relief is around the corner and we're putting our hopes on the latest from one of our favorite (and somewhat undersung) filmmakers, Nicole Holofcener.
A divorced and single parent, Eva (Julia Louis Dreyfus) spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading her daughter's impending departure for college. She meets Albert (James Gandolfini) - a sweet, funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest. As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), her new massage client. Marianne is a beautiful poet who seems "almost perfect" except for one prominent quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much. Suddenly, Eva finds herself doubting her own relationship with Albert as she learns the truth about Marianne's Ex. ENOUGH SAID is a sharp, insightful comedy that humorously explores the mess that often comes with getting involved again.
Rounded out by Catherine Keener, Toni Collette, Ben Falcone, Eve Hewson and more, "Enough Said" opens in theaters on September 20th in limited release but premieres first at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Wanna know what Serena Williams does in her off-court time? Well, she loves karaoke. And, she apparently loves to dance. Like, booty dance. And other parts.
UPDATE: Thanks to GOTOTENNIS we'll always have Bootyrena. Always + 4EVR.
UPDATE #2: Serena's lawyers aren't happy with me for posting that screen shot so it's gone. Thanks for the memories Bootyrena. You'll always live on in our heads and some other places (you know who you are).

Born and raised in Humboldt, this week's cook, Sarah Wright, enjoys cooking so much, she made it her career. Sarah, the daughter of Sherry and Steve Kunert is a Humboldt High School graduate. After high school, Sarah earned a BA in Ceramics from the University of Iowa and just recently received her Culinary Arts Certificate from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts School in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. She is currently employed as a cook at The Farmhouse restaurant in Kansas City, MO.
Besides cooking, Sarah enjoys crocheting, sewing, painting, drawing, reading, and writing in her blog (http://knivesandnimblefingers.wordpress.com [1]). She recommends the cookbook "In the Small Kitchen" by Cara Eisenpress and Phoebe Lapine and the recipe website: www.foodgawker.com [2] as great resources for the kitchen. Her favorite kind of menu has classical comfort food with a special twist, like macaroni and cheese with mushrooms and brie cheese instead of the normal cheddar.
Basic Salsa
This is a very basic salsa recipe; feel free to alter it to what you like!
8 Roma tomatoes, fine diced
1 yellow onion, fine diced
1 Jalapeno, seeds removed, fine
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, sliced on a bias
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, minced
Zest of 1 lime, grated
Salt and Pepper to taste
Prepare all ingredients and place in a large bowl, mix well. Chill the salsa in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Like it smoother? Once your ingredients are mixed, pulse in the food processor until the desired texture is achieved.
Like it spicier? Keep the seeds in the jalapeno.
Like it cooked? Roast the tomatoes and onion in the oven at 375◦ F for 30 minutes, then let cool before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Homemade Rice-A-Roni
It is so easy to make your own rice pilaf and it will taste even better than the box stuff! Plus, you can control the amount of salt, which makes it a healthier option for you and your family.
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup spaghetti noodles,
broken into small pieces
1 cup plain rice, uncooked,
brown or white
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Place a medium size sauce-pot on medium-high heat on your stovetop, cook the onion and garlic cloves in a little vegetable oil until the onion begins to be translucent. Season with a little salt and pepper. Add the uncooked rice and spaghetti noodles. Cook until the spaghetti noodles are a nut-brown color. Add parsley, paprika and chicken broth. Cover, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat so the rice simmers for 15-20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed by the rice.
Remember: Make sure your heat is just low enough for the rice to simmer. If the heat is too high you will have burnt rice on the bottom! It is also important not to peek and lift the lid off the pot. You need to keep the moisture inside for proper cooking.
Cornbread Casserole
This side dish is like a hug in a bowl! The perfect comfort food and compliment to any dinner.
15-1/4 ounce can whole kernel
corn, drained
14-3/4 ounce can cream-style
8 ounce package Jiffy corn
bread mix
1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 to 1-1/2 cups shredded
cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350◦ F and grease a 2 quart casserole dish (9x9 baking pan). Mix the corn, corn bread mix, Greek yogurt and butter together in a large bowl. Add in the shredded cheese.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 55 minutes to an hour. The casserole will be done once the center does not jiggle when you move the pan. Let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Asian Turkey Dumplings with Ginger Dipping Sauce
This Asian dumpling can be used as a side dish or as a main meal. It is fun finger food and great to make with friends and family.
10 ounces ground turkey
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon yellow onion, fine
1 teaspoon grated ginger, fresh
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Wonton wrappers, square or
Combine the turkey, cilantro, onion, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and sesame oil together and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Have a large pot of boiling, salted water ready on the stove to cook your dumpling. Get a small bowl of water; this will be used to seal your dumpling. It is best to work with one wonton wrapper at a time. Place one teaspoon of the dumpling mixture in the center of the wonton wrapper. Using your finger, wet the entire outer edge of the wrapper, then fold it over sealing the edges together, enclosing the filling. When sealing the dumpling, try to push out any air pockets. (This is the very basic dumpling fold. www.youtube.com [4] has great video tutorials if you are interested in learning other kinds of folds.)
Boil the wontons in boiling water for 6-7 minutes. Boil your dumplings in two or three batches, keeping the finished dumplings warm in the oven in a greased, covered casserole dish.
This is only one method of cooking the dumplings. They can also be pan fried or steamed. Enjoy these dumplings with the Ginger Dipping Sauce. Yield: 40-50 dumplings.
Ginger Dipping Sauce:
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons grated ginger,
2 tablespoons yellow onion, fine
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Mix all ingredients together and keep in the refrigerator.
Chicken in Creamy Mustard Sauce
This French dish is originally called Lapin a la Moutarde Sause, and made with rabbit. Chicken thighs are a perfect substitute- and inexpensive. This rich dish is great for a date night or special occasion.
4 chicken thighs, skinless,
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 celery stalk, sliced thinly
1 small yellow onion, sliced
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine (use
whatever you have on hand)
1/4 cup cream
Salt and pepper
Preheat a large non-stick skillet on high heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in the skillet until they are a golden brown color. Take out and set aside. Add onions, celery and garlic into the pan, adding more oil if necessary. Cook the vegetables until the onion begins to look translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Add white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the brown bits from the bottom, this is called "deglazing." Add bay leaf, mustards, chicken stock and cream. Mix until sauce has combined.
Add chicken thighs back in, making sure that the thighs are mostly covered with the liquid. If you need to, add a small amount of water or chicken stock. Simmer the chicken for 45 minutes or until it reaches the internal temperature of 165◦ F. Remove the chicken thighs and keep warm under foil. If desired, you may thicken the sauce with a slurry. A slurry is equal parts water and cornstarch. In this case, 1 tablespoon each of water and cornstarch will work. Make sure the sauce is boiling before adding the slurry, and once it is added, stir quickly until the desired thickness is achieved. If the sauce is not boiling, then the slurry will not thicken it. Serve with the sauce covering the chicken and a side of mashed or roasted potatoes.
Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
Tilapia is the perfect fish for these fresh tacos. The spice rub and the cool slaw complement each other perfectly. Great for a quick summer dinner!
4 tablespoons chili powder
Zest of 1 lime, grated
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds tilapia fillets
Tortilla Shells
Mix ingredients together and rub on the tilapia fillets. Marinate for 30 minutes. Drizzle with oil and bake at 350◦ F for 15-20 minutes.
Cabbage Slaw:
1 bag cabbage slaw
1 Roma tomato, diced
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 bunch cilantro, finely
Toss ingredients with a little bit of olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Serve on top of fish.
(Recipe adapted from www.caciqueinc.com [5]).
60 Second Puppy Chow
This single serving dessert curbs the puppy chow craving without all of the work. Be careful- it is addicting!
1 cup Rice Krispies
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well until the chocolate chips have completely melted. Add Rice Krispies and stir until the cereal is well coated. Feel free to add in powdered sugar or use other cereals.

This is the map of Lelin Island, one of 4 sub continent islands belonging to the SilverFer Continent, homeland of the Woodmen Nation, in my homebrew fantasy world Ive created called "World of Celun" . Lelin Island's notable features are of course Lekk Village (population: 80) , Lelin Woods, the somewhat small Mornaw Mountains, and the great Agei Meadows. Smaller important features would be Llyrcend Beach (the main landing for travelers to Lekk), Dirtlorm Beach, the Fields of Em'eld, Mornaw Lake, Cape Sholt, Cape Sall, and the forest Altar to Oldorit (God of Trees) in the far northern tip of the Lelin Wood. Other notable places would be the Doctor's Path from Lekk to the Altar of Oldorit (doctor's are the same thing as shamans or priests), and the Hunter's Path that traces its way around the island, used primarily by the "Hunter's", a group of nomadic ranger's that supply Lekk with game/food, as well as acting as a sort of defense against would be invaders. The travelers road from Llyrcend is used by traders and merchants for getting to Lekk, coming from Lekk headed elsewhere.
South from Llyrcend beach is what is known as the "ferry path", which sea goers use to head further SW to Gandri Island, another sub continental island of SilverFer (from Gandri Island one can head south to the Ogre Nation's homeland of Choculan, or north to the mainland of SilverFer).
Separating Lelin Island from the mainland is what is known as Enthup Channel.
Lelin Island is the furthest easterly known land of Celun, and anything further east is what they call "the unknown lands" .
Any feedback would be appreciated. The image is 200dpi, and I hope it is legible as well as easy to understand.
Btw, this is definitely not my best work, and I have at other times had much better drawn maps, but Ive since lost them to the sands of time.

ZF-11207: Zend Framework Lucene index only within a certain tag
HI all,
Got a little blocker. new to the zend framework and so far i like it!
What i have done: - got a tool running that crawls the website and puts it in into a sitemap for google to pick up. - I use $doc = Zend_Search_Lucene_Document_Html::loadHTMLFile($item->loc, true); $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text('link', $item->loc)); $index->addDocument($doc);
To build an index and with the true option in loadHTMLFile i can print the output with $body.
Unfortunatly the body IS what i need but not everyting. I would like to get the context within for exemple
and nothing outside that.
I've been search the internet for a solution for over 5 days, but nobody has the same issue because they all get it directly from a database. Is this even possible? and if so... is it documented?
Hope you guys/girls can get me into the right direction!
thank you!
This is not an issue with Zend Framework. Please send your question to the appropriate ZF mailing list and someone will help you out.

"They think our love is just a growin' pain….Why don't they understand? It's just a cryin' shame…..Their lips are lyin', only real Champagne is Champagne…...stop the fight right now, we all know how it makes us feel - Mumm is the word!"
"Mumm de Cramant is a precious cuvée made in the purest Champagne tradition since 1882. A single cru cuvée of incomparable purity, blended in the time-honored tradition with a strict selection of 100% Chardonnay Cramant wines. Truly a great Champagne to grace any occasion."Most of the time, these statements are just blah, blah, blah 'our wine is world class juice', but in this case I'd have to say I'm in 100% agreement with the statement above. This is my kind of lie detector, hook me up again and again.
|Sample provided by Cathy Corison
According to an article by Keith Wallace in 2009 "How Wine Became Fast Food" [citing thearticle]"Since most people like to stick with familiar brands andcheap prices, it's [Plonk] a necessity.

Sept. 11 remembrance is Wednesday
A Sept. 11 remembrance event, sponsored by Holyoke Chamber of Commerce and Phillips County Extension, will be held next Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 7:30 a.m. at First Christian Church.
The community is invited to gather on the front lawn of the church by a flag placed by the Lions Club for a prayer by Pastor Merle Powell. Everyone is encouraged to take a few minutes before the start of the day to remember and honor the men, women and children who lost their lives Sept. 11, 2001, and to pray for those injured and those who died saving the lives of others.
Refreshments will be offered inside the church immediately following the service.
3 file for school board; election to be canceled
Three candidates filed for three open positions on the Holyoke School District Re-1J Board of Education by the Aug. 30 deadline. As a result, the election will be canceled.
The three earning four-year terms on the board beginning after the Nov. 5 election date are incumbents Kris Camblin and Kim Killin and newcomer Patricia Wiebers.
HVFD tends to 2 gas leaks
Two gas meter leaks were the reason for the sirens this past week. The first siren was blown Saturday, Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m. for a gas meter leak on the 100 block of North Worley Avenue. The meter showed no signs of being hit.
The second siren sounded Monday, Sept. 2 at 12:35 p.m. for a gas meter leak in the alley east of Family Dollar.
In both instances, the gas was shut off and SourceGas was notified.

Jamie Dornan To Replace Charlie Hunnam In 50 Shades Of Grey!
by Daily Dish
posted Oct 24 2013 8:25AM
Surprised? Can't say that! Kim Kardashian supposedly picked out her spectacular 15 carat diamond engagement ring herself because she knew her baby daddy Kanye West was going to propose! Kim Kardashian apparently told Kanye West to get the ring from Lorraine Schwartz because she loves the jeweler's diamonds. She knew the proposal was happening, she just didn't know when it would happen. Kanye West even got a HUGE deal on the ring because of all the publicity it will get. The ring could be worth at least $3 million but Kanye West paid less than $500,000 and made sure the ring was bigger than the one Kris Humphries gave her! The ring wasn't a surprise, but the good news is apparently the proposal on her 33rd birthday was! At least SOMETHING stayed a surprise!
Bad news for Pink! She was put on vocal rest by doctors but even that isn't enough! Doctors have told Pink to postpone three more shows on her tour so she can rest her vocal cords through the end of the month. Live Nation said in a statement, "It became clear after further consultation with her doctors today that more rest is required for her to fully recover from inflamed vocal cords and laryngitis." Pink postponed concert dates yesterday and today. They are rescheduled to take place in January. Pink had already postponed concert dates in Salt Lake City on Oct. 17th and Denver on Oct. 18
. Hopefully Pink will feel better and not have to postpone "The Truth About Love Tour" when she gets to Little Rock on the 17
Finally it's come to an end!
News first broke of Clint and Dina Eastwood separating in
late August. Dina Eastwood even filed for legal separation on Sept. 9th, only to withdraw the documents just two days later. But on the same day Dina Eastwood dismissed her separation filing, Clint Eastwood was photographed in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Erica Fisher. So now it's official, the divorce is in motion! Dina Eastwood couldn't handle how Clint Eastwood decided to live with his new girlfriend and her son. It tortured her. She was deciding what to do and figure out the best course of action given this news after that so she withdrew the separation. She's apparently devastated and filed divorce documents on Monday. She wants full physical custody of the couple's 16-year-old daughter Morgan and her soon-to-be ex-husband to pay for all legal fees and spousal support. Why does everything have to get so ugly?!
Huge news! Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan has been tapped to replace Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey in the Universal and Focus adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey!" Jamie Dornan plays Sheriff Graham Humbert in the ABC series "Once Upon a Time" and has even modeled for Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Armani. YUM YUM! Universal and Focus Features are declining to comment.. When Charlie Hunnam quit, Universal and Focus executives decided to go for more of a discovery and brought in Jamie Dornan to test last Friday. Now Universal will just have to work quickly to land the remaining supporting roles.
This is creepy! Katy Perry has made an odd confession: That she once kept locks of hair from Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift in her purse! She said, "One of the first times I went to the Grammys, I got to share a dressing room with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift and I asked for a lock of their hair from each one of them, which is totally creepy, but awesome." Katy Perry even went as far as to share that she put little bows on the hair! CREEPY!
What do Marilyn Manson, Miley Cyrus and Mama June from Honey Boo Boo have in common? On a daily basis, normally nothing! But now they were all named as some of 2013's Creepiest Celebrities in a nationwide survey that features actors, musicians and reality stars. Paul Reubens, Dennis Rodman, Howard Stern and Andy Dick were your top 5. Charlie Sheen got the number 6 spot and
Honey Boo Boo
's mom took spot number 7. Steve Buscemi, Woody Allen and Criss Angel round out the top 10. Just missing that top 10, Miley Cyrus in at number 11! Who would YOU add to the list?
I don't care what she says, Channing Tatum is still BEYOND sexy! His wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum said that Channing Tatum definitely hogs the bed and that she's constantly between him and her two dogs, falling off the bed at night. She also said that Channing Tatum wakes up in the morning with bad breath like the rest of us, but it's pure love if you can wake up in the morning and kiss each other and not need to brush your teeth first! Awe! I'm sure we'd take Channing Tatum bad breath and bed hogging and all! Only he can make THAT sexy!

Use: Inspecting oil equipment
Drone: Aeryon scout quad-rotor minidrone
Pilot: Greg Walker
In the oil-rich fields of Alaska's North Slope, gas flares burn constantly, occasionally bursting into fireballs two storeys high. It's a safety feature of BP's operation: burning off excess gas from drilling. Unless the facility is shut down – which costs BP millions – carrying out a detailed examination of those nozzles is impossible, which is why the operation is inspected once a year at most. At least, that was true until November 2011. As an experiment, BP brought in Greg Walker to fly a one-kilogram Aeryon Scout quadrotor drone to examine the flares between inspections. With the Scout, Walker – manager of the Poker Flat Research Range for the University of Alaska Fairbanks – was able to spot a crack in one of the nozzles while it was still burning. Doing the repair required a shutdown, but BP was able to speed up the process and save money by ordering the parts ahead of time.

I tried finding relevant items in the bug tracker but failed.
*User A has shared several calendars with User B, some read only some manager level. Everything is fine from webclient.
*User A sets up caldav to their account and uses iCal to add tasks on the calendar. User A has no particular interest in User B seeing those tasks, but wants the events connected to the various calendars.

*During a subsequent automatic refresh, User B gets errors that they do not have permission to see the tasks in the shared calendars and is given choice of going offline or 'reverting to server'. User B has to select go offline to not get further messages.
I don't expect our site to upgrade the server to 6.X until next May although maybe this winter break. Does anyone have any suggestions? Best work around so far is subscribe to the individual calendars as read only using the ics links, iCal gives the option of ignoring the todos.

Drunk Dad Avoids DUI by Giving Keys to 9 Year Old
In order to avoid being arrested for a DUI, many would-be drivers opt to hand the keys to someone who is sober. This strategy, however, only works when the driver is legally licensed, and is not a child.
According to a report in USA Today, a Michigan man began his campaign for "Worst Dad of the Year" by asking his 9-year-old daughter to drive the family's van after he became too intoxicated to drive.
Sources indicate that Shawn Weimer, 39, recently let his daughter drive his van home around 3:00 a.m., as Weimer rested comfortably in the van's passenger seat.
Footage from a surveillance video filmed at a gas station near Woodhaven, Michigan shows Weimer telling a station clerk that his daughter was his designated driver.
Allegedly, the video catches Weimer telling the clerk, "Nine years old. Nine. Dad drinking. Listen, we're leaving, and she's driving."
Predictably, the news of Weimer and his daughter's adventure struck the girl's mother as very frightening. Heather Hammon, the mother of the young driver, told reporters that she was "mortified" when she learned the news.
While he did manage to escape drunk driving charges, Weimer found himself in court this week facing charges of child abuse and other charges related to his allegedly habitual drinking problems.
And, while Hammon obviously disapproved of his behavior, she did tell reporters that Weimer was otherwise an attentive, dutiful father who always paid his child support on time. In a classy understatement, Hammon said that he "just made a bad choice."
The two parents separated before their daughter was born, but she visits her father every other weekend. This arrangement may change, though, as the presiding judge forbade Weimer from having contact with his daughter during the court proceedings.
Weimer's prior criminal record is not perfectly clean, which could hurt his case in court. Sources indicate that he was arrested for driving while impaired by alcohol in 2007 after being involved in a crash.
Despite his apparent affection for his daughter, and his history as a decent father, Weimer may suffer severe consequences for his momentary loss of judgment.
Other drivers, however, should know that planning before drinking and designating a sober driver is usually a foolproof way of avoiding a drunk driving arrest. The key, of course, is to designate someone who can legally drive.
If you find yourself in a situation where a minor is the only possible sober driver, other reliable methods of getting home include taking public transportation, hailing a cab, or calling a friend, regardless of the time of day.
By making sound decisions after you find yourself too drunk to drive, you may avoid serious legal troubles, possible injuries or accidents, or, in the most egregious scenarios, unwanted national press attention.

Ford F-1 Bodywork - Mind The Gap - TechWritten by on December 1, 2010 Surface Rust Treatments, Metal Prep, And Bodywork 101
Anyone who's ever done their share of bodywork in their home garage or shop can attest; it ain't the most fun thing to do. It's dirty, laborious, back-breaking, and for most of us inexperienced body guys, slow going. On the other hand, if the basic skills can be picked up, it's a great way for us po' boys to save a few bucks by doing the work ourselves. And the truth is, there's no medieval magic involved; no secret techniques passed down from generations of Illuminati members. No, it's a handful of simple techniques that any basic bodyworking book can teach you couple with copious amounts of practice. And it doesn't hurt to have a good teacher to at least walk you through the initial steps, but I digress.
Recently, my F-1 project that has been slightly relegated to back burner status lately reared its head as it does from time to time and prompted me to get started on the bodywork. It's about 80% assembled and has been waiting on a few sheetmetal mods before being blown apart for paint and body; I've just been putting it off. Excuse after excuse was made and the car gods must have really wanted to stick it to me for not a day after telling my significant other about how I should really wait until winter's over as it's really starting to get cold again and the weather won't permit me to lay body filler and primer, Southern California was hit with the hottest temperatures ever recorded. Yes, while we are putting together what should be the winter issue, complete with all its snowball references, Christmas and the like, it's 113-degrees in Los Angeles. So much for that excuse!
So I did what any motivated person would do and I rolled up the shop door and I got to work.
Admittedly, most of my hesitation in starting the bodywork stems from my lack of knowledge on the subject. Luckily, I've had the opportunity to spend countless hours in cold paint and body shops over the years as I chronicled Street Rodder magazine's many Road Tour cars. I kept my mouth shut, for the most part, and tried to soak in as much as possible when it came to how the various shops achieved the level of fit and finish that they did. I learned a number of useful techniques and I have included a few in this story that I thought I'd share with y'all.
Back when I started the F-1 build, I decided to strip each body panel separately, instead of simply taking the entire truck down to the sandblaster, as I repaired the various damaged areas (lower fender corners, running boards ends, etc). As I made my way around the truck, it slowly went from a multi-colored, acid trip to a baremetal masterpiece. At least that's what I like to think. Anyways, over time as it sat in my shop and worked on various other items on the build, the untreated bare metal panels slowly developed a layer of surface rust. Not a big deal, but it's just enough of a pain in that it's one more step added to the final bodywork labor.
That being said, it's necessary to remove the surface rust before moving forward with any of the bodywork. To achieve this end, I called up the tech guys over at Eastwood to see what they offered to remove the light scale and rust that had been growing on my truck. What they recommended was Fast Etch, an acid-based rust remover that could be brushed, sprayed, or even wiped onto the truck's surface with a rag. It uses a one-step process to effectively dissolve rust without harming the surrounding metal and leaves a zinc-phosphate coating on the surface.
I made a game plan up a few months back in terms of how I was going to tackle the bodywork, with the first step being gapping the front sheetmetal. I decided that once the front fenders and the upper and lower valence lined up nicely, I could disassemble the sheetmetal, send the cab and doors out to get sandblasted, and move my attention back to the bed and rear fenders. Once the cab returned, I'd knock out the door gaps and body work on that and everything would be ready for paint.
Therefore, the first thing I'm going to be doing is gapping the front sheetmetal, starting with the passenger fender to upper valence gap. I've worked the front sheetmetal carefully over the last year or so to get the gaps as close as possible in bare metal so that as little filler as possible will be needed to get everything nice and straight. It's going to be a steep learning curve, but if I can do it, anyone can!

The first step in gapping the fenders is to knock down the rust and paint surrounding the two edges. This was achieved by using a 3M rust and scale removal disc and a die grinder.Next, I hit the surface of the fender with a Scotch Brite pad to remove any loose scale and debris that may have been present.Then it was time to apply the Fast Etch product, which I did so by applying it to a rag and simply wiping the panel down. Eastwood recommends keeping the entire area to be treated moist for at least 15-20 minutes, which means wiping it down a few times.Here's the surface after the first initial treatment. Note that there is still some rust that needs to be treated. I could have applied more Fast Etch or applied the first coat longer and more aggressive, but I didn't want to get in over my head the first time 'round.Instead, I simply grabbed a DA sander, slapped on an 80-grit sanding pad and went to town. I liked this idea as it also gave me peace of mind when it came to removing any lurking Fast Etch from the surface of the fender. Eastwood recommends using their PRE product to neutralize the Fast Etch if the area is not to be sanded down further.Satisfied with the results, I then continued on and treated the rest of the fender. Here you can see the section that I hit with the DA and the area surrounding it that has only been treated using the Fast Etch.Compare the passenger side fender in the last photo to the driver's side untreated fender in this photo and you get an idea of how well the Fast Etch works in removing light surface rust. I eventually did away with the wiping technique and started applying Fast Etch using a spray bottle and brush to apply it on a larger surface area. This technique worked great.
Here you can see the gap area between the front passenger fender and the upper valence. Note the difference between the area that was treated and the area that was masked off. Masking off the gap worked great to prevent any Fast Etch from running down between the two panels, but we'll need to hit the area with the DA to get it all nice and even.One spot that can be troublesome when it comes to bodywork is where a weld has been made and ground down but may not be perfectly smooth; i.e. cratered. Here, a hole has been welded up but not very well. While I could go back over it with the TIG welder and fill in the cratered areas, I really don't want to risk shrinking the surrounding sheetmetal any further than it may already have been.In this case, a simple skim coat of plastic filler will be fine. However, it's a good idea to hit the cratered area with a wire wheel to ensure that it's nice and clean beforehand. Any dust, debris, or moisture trapped under body filler will wreak havoc later on down the road and we don't want that!And here's what we'll be using to get the sheetmetal nice and straight; 3M Bondo Professional Gold premium body filler.Before applying any filler, you're going to want to liberally wipe down the area using a product like 3M's General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner which will remove any FOBs (foreign objects) as well as oil, grease, sweat, etc. Remember that there are all kinds of oils in and on the human body and any time you touch the panel, you're leaving something behind. Take a nice bare piece of sheetmetal and put a nice sweaty hand print on it and come back in a week or two and you'll see what I mean!With the surface nice and clean, I mixed up a batch of filler and spread a small coat across the length of the fender gap. Immediately following, I used a small screwdriver to split the filler and create a nice, even gap. Depending on the width gap that's desired, anything from a small blade screwdriver to the plastic spreader itself can be used to "drag the gap."This is what the area looks like right after the gap has been made. It's not beautiful but remember that most of the filler is going to get knocked off anyhow. One thing to keep in mind is that you don't want to build up the edge of either side using plastic filler as it can and will chip or break away, leaving a big, ugly gash. If more than 1/16-inch or so worth of filler is required, you're best to bust out the hammer and dollies and work the sheetmetal a bit closer.
While the gap area was drying, I went ahead and worked the center section of the upper valence panel to give a reference of how high and low spots surface after the area has been block sanded down. In this example, the high spots are the bare metal sections while the unsanded, filler areas constitutes the low spots. This is how the first pass will look and each application of filler and consequential block sanding will get the panel closer and closer to perfection.On a few occasions, the high spots are so much higher than the surrounding area that they need to be knocked down using a hammer and perhaps a dolly. This is important to remember as you don't want to build up an entire panel full of filler just to even out on high section. In this case, less is more when it comes to plastic filler.With the filler given a good thirty minutes or so to "kick", it was time to block sand the area. I'm using 80-grit paper on a foam block that will conform slightly to the shape of the top of the fender and making sanding strokes that go all the way across the entire surface. Make alternating diagonal strokes as well so you don't make any low spots just running it back and forth on the panel.To get the gap nice and straight once the panel was sanded, I used an old piece of 80-grit paper folded in half and simply sanded through the length of the gap to get a nice, crisp edge.If you're like me and lack a bit of bodyworking experience, chances are you're ability to lay down a nice, smooth coat of filler is lacking. Therefore, you may need to go back and fill a couple small pinholes and the like. That is what 3M Glazing and Spot Putty is for. It goes on easy and work great for touching up small areas.For illustration purposes and to keep the surface from surrendering back over to Mother Nature, I shot a light coat of red oxide primer over the worked area. You can see that the gap area looks pretty good while the center section of the upper valence still needs some attention. When I come back to work the rest of the front sheetmetal and do my final block sanding, all this primer will be removed.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Teenage pop star Justin Bieber sent out a series of mixed messages over his Twitter feed on Tuesday night, one of which said he was retiring, on the eve of the Christmas Day release of the latest film chronicling the life of the Canadian singer.
The messages came a few days after he first mentioned the word "retirement."
The tweet to the 19-year-old's nearly 48 million followers – "My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring" – was quickly followed by another message: "I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle."
My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
And then: "I'M HERE FOREVER."
Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
Representatives for Bieber did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.
The Canadian singer has been involved in a series of headline-grabbing incidents over the past year.
In March, the singer scuffled with a photographer outside a London hotel during a European tour. Later that month, police were called to his Los Angeles area home after a neighbor claimed he had been threatened and struck by Bieber.
In June, Bieber struck a photographer with his Ferrari sports car while driving away from a comedy club in Los Angeles, though police said the accident was not considered a hit-and-run.
The movie, "Justin Bieber's Believe," which takes the name of Bieber's third studio album, could help repair his image after the difficult year.
"I think people forget that it's a 19-year-old kid, trying to figure it out," Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, told ABC News, adding the film shows Bieber as "a human."
At one point in the film, director Jon Chu suggests Bieber's life could become a "train wreck."
The "retirement" message went out on the night of Christmas Eve and by the following morning had nearly a quarter million retweets and over 185,000 favorites.
Twitter user @theycallmejerry tweeted: "A life without Justin Bieber. A life without my idol, hero, inspiration, my everything. Not the best thing to think about on Christmas Eve."
On the other end of the spectrum, Twitter user CozImAGuy said, "Justin Bieber retiring is the greatest Christmas gift EVER."

Inner And Outer Rear Sheetmetal - BackgammonWritten by on December 1, 2011 Inner And Outer Rear Sheetmetal For The Purple Pig
We left the Purple Pig last month with the new EMS lower quarter-panels tack-welded in place, and continue now by installing the rear panel and rear trunk floor section.
I fabricated a lower rear panel some 10 years ago, and will admit to not making a great job of repairing the floor section, as I was rushing to get the car on the road and out of a borrowed workshop. While the outer panel didn't really need replacing, it sure made installing the floor section easier, plus it meant I could get rid of the old outer panel with its full width seam weld and filled original light holes.
I also took the opportunity to finally install a cable-operated trunk lid latch, as up to now I'd used a bungee cord to keep it shut! While these are available in the aftermarket, over the years I've used several early VW Rabbit hood latches for both hoods and trunks. They're compact, look reasonably nice, work great, and are, or were, readily available in junkyards. My local yard happened to have an early Jetta in stock, which has the same front sheetmetal as a Rabbit, and which gave up its latch mechanism to my project, for the grand sum of $8. Junkyard hot rodding is still possible, if you have an eye for adapting late-model parts. My rear lights are a similar example.
The late-model Fiat lights come as a huge assembly with three lenses. Trimming two of the lenses off, and mounting them vertically instead of horizontally, they match the curvature of the Chevy quarters and provide late-model reflectors and bright lights, unlike the small stockers. I've had these on the car ever since I first built it in England, and am always receiving queries about their origins. So now you know!
The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that I have only tack-welded the latch bracket in place and haven't welded the center of the new floor section. This is because I have further plans for this area that involve the bumper—not because I forgot. Stay tuned …

1 Here's where we left off last month, with the new lower quarter clamped in place. While there was nothing wrong with the rear panel, the lower 3 inches of which I fabricated around a decade ago, I wanted to replace the rear section of the trunk floor. After covering the fuel tank and RideTech components with a fire blanket from Harbor Freight, and protecting the coated exhaust pipes from scratches, I cut the old rear panel away using a Sawzall. You can see the weld running the full width of the old panel, where I'd previously fabricated the lower section.2 The EMS panels; whether you have rust repair to contend with, or want a smooth look without the stock taillight holes, the rear panel is ideal. The rear section of the trunk floor above it will save an awful lot of fabrication time!3 I elected to trim the old panel away in a dogleg fashion, in order to retain the factory trunk lid adjusters/bumpers. I wanted to join the new panel to the old as high as possible in order to make the joint above where I'd welded up the stock light holes. I retained these end sections as patterns to use later to determine the size and shape of the new light apertures. Note the measurements marked on the primer.4 After covering the fuel tank and RideTech components with a fire blanket from Harbor Freight, and protecting the coated exhaust pipes from scratches, I cut the old rear panel away using a Sawzall. You can see the weld running the full width of the old panel, where I'd previously fabricated the lower section.5 The new rear panel was temporarily clamped in place to determine where I would cut it, and where the new lower quarter-panel would need trimming to fit.6 As I have a sunken section of floor housing my fuel tank and RideTech compressor and tank, I didn't need the full depth of the floor repair panel, cutting the excess away using a nibbler.7 I trimmed the new floor panel to clear the rear body mount bolts. If you use the panel untrimmed, you'll need to drill it to accept these bolts.8 Here's the new floor panel in place. You can see how it steps down to meet the lower lip of the rear panel.
11 As this panel had to fit in more than one plane, and the sides of the car sprung out a little when the old panel was removed, I trimmed it oversize, used self tappers to locate it in the rain channel, and snuck up on the final cut marks. Better to trim too little than too much!12 Before final trimming, the trunk lid was closed and the gaps checked, as well as the flow of the trunk lid into the rear panel, ensuring the curvature was consistent. Note the panel now fits behind the quarter-panel at the rear.13 Looking from inside the trunk, here's a better view of the trunk lid adjusters/bumpers, as well as depicting how the panel was marked for final trimming.14 The new panel is supplied with a stepped lip, which fits under the old quarter-panel at its highest point. This was tack-welded, as was the dogleg section inboard of it, before a cut-off wheel was used to remove the overlapping section where the self-tapper was locating the panel. A hammer and dolly was used to assist alignment of the panels in the rain channel.15 With the panels tack-welded, the gaps were checked again. The importance of repeatedly checking this cannot be stressed enough.16 The ends of the new panel are now welded to the quarters, but not yet attached to the floor. Using the splash apron/gravel pan as a guide …17 … its mounting holes were drilled though the lip in the rear panel, and through the new floor section.
19 It was now time to turn to the light apertures. Using the sections saved from earlier, as well as the width measurement, I marked where the metal required trimming away.20 Note when I welded the overlapping section I stopped short of the actual edge of the panels. This enabled me to trim the overlapping sections away 3/8 inch from the aperture and butt-weld the joints, so the light unit would be able to fit flush against the bodywork.21 Some careful grinding and filing later, and the light unit fit. They're modified late-model Fiat units, by the way, mounted sideways.22 All that remained was to replace the latch bracket, which also served to brace the rear panel to the floor in the center. I've never had a latch that fits here, so I decided to scrap this bracket and make a new one, along with a new latch, as I wanted it to be cable operated.23 A quick trip to the local junkyard provided what I was looking for: a hood latch from an early VW Jetta. BMWs have similar latches.24 What's wrong with this picture? Sure the latch hits the lip, but that's no biggie. The problem is it's at the wrong angle to enable it to open and close without binding.25 I had to close the hole where the old latch was mounted anyway, so I made the new section at an angle.26 With the position of the upper latch determined, a new bracket was formed to accept the striker plate in the correct position. Once satisfied that the clutch works correctly and is aligned, I'll trim away the area marked with a Sharpie and round off the upper edge, while allowing enough room for the cable to operate.
