Penang Hokkien Mee Recipe (Prawn Mee / Har Meen / Mee Yoke / 福建虾面)
Penang Hokkien Mee Recipe | rasamalaysia.com
Stock ingredients:
1 ziploc bag of shrimp heads and shells (I used Ziplock Easy Zipper Bag)
15 cups of water (reduced to about 12-13 cups of water after hours of boiling and simmering)
2-3 pieces of rock sugar (about the size of a small ping pong ball) or to taste
1.5 lbs of pork ribs (cut into pieces)
Salt to taste
Chili Paste:
30 dried chilies (deseeded and soaked to soften)
10 shallots (peeled)
5 cloves garlic (peeled)
2 tablespoons of water
6 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 pound of yellow noodles (scalded)
1 pack of rice vermicelli (scalded)
Some kangkong or water convolvulus (scalded)
Some bean sprouts (scalded)
1/2 pound of lean pork meat (boiled and sliced thinly)
1/2 pound shrimp (shelled and deveined)
6 hard-boiled eggs (shelled and quartered)
Some fried shallot crisps (store-bought)
- Add 15 cups of water into a pot and bring it to bowl. Add in all the shrimp heads and shell and simmer on low heat for about 2 hours or longer until the stock becomes cloudy and tastes really prawny.
- Strain the stock through sieve and transfer the stock into another pot. Discard the prawn heads and shells. Scoop up and discard the orange "foam" forming at the top of the stock.
- Bring the stock to boil again and add in half of the chili paste. You can add more chili paste if you like it spicier.
- Add in the pork ribs and continue to boil in low heat for another 1-1.5 hour until the pork ribs are thoroughly cooked.
- Add rock sugar and salt/fish sauce to taste.
- To serve, place a portion of yellow noodles, rice vermicelli, water convolvulus and bean sprouts in a bowl. Ladle hot stock over. If desired, add a few pieces of pork ribs. Top with meat slices, sliced shrimp, egg quarters, and sprinkle with shallot crisps.
- Serve immediately with more chili paste to taste.

This divine bowl of Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle) took me months of hard work and patience. I mean months, not days, and certainly not hours.
To concoct a pot of pure shrimpy stock that is signature to this Penang hawker food dish, one has to have heaps of shrimp heads. Yes, I am talking about a ziploc bag (a BIG one!) full of shrimp heads. While I eat shrimp all the time, it's a completely different matter when it comes to saving up their heads.
It's impossible to get good Hokkien Mee here in the US, so for the past few months, I bought only head-on shrimps. Patiently and religiously I saved up their heads so I could make this at home…
This past weekend, the ziploc bag was finally so full that I could no longer zip it up. I quickly rushed out to the nearest Asian supermarket and got myself all the other ingredients–pork ribs, bean sprouts, noodles, etc.–and started cooking this famous hawker delicacy. The end result was a pot full of real prawny stock that was as close as what you get in Penang. It was really satisfying slurping up the soup and had unlimited topping of pork ribs that fell off the bones! Mmmm…
While Hokkien Mee is made famous by Penang hawkers, it originated from the Fujian province in China, and hence the name "Hokkien" (which means Fujian in its dialect) and "Mee" (meaning noodle). When I was in Xiamen in early 2006, I did validate this fact. I found Hokkien Mee (福建虾面) in coffee shops there. While the taste is almost the same, the one I had in Xiamen paled in comparison. The Malaysian version is considerably enhanced with better flavors, ingredients, and toppings.
Penang Hokkien Mee, the only hawker food dish that I seriously can't do without. Do you want to have a bowl? ;)
PS: Elsewhere in Malaysia, Penang Hokkien Mee is called Har Meen (Cantonese dialect for Prawn Mee), Heh Mee (Hokkien dialect) or Mee Yoke. In KL, Hokkien Mee is a stir-fried noodle dish steeped in dark soy sauce with pork and serve with chili lime paste. Click here for Eating Asia's KL Hokkien Mee.

Hi, Folks.
Sign in the paymaster's office at 122 mile camp on the Mount Newman Iron Ore Rail Project, Western Australia, 1968:
"If you haven't heard a good rumour by 10 o'clock, START one."
I know nothing of cars - they don't interest me as I have bigger fish to be interested in.
Northart, Swishy did not find that swamp thingummyjig. The clipping was originally emailed to me by a contact in France who has an abiding interest in jungle crushers and he wanted more information, which I was not able to supply. It was reportedly built for clearing work on the long-abandoned Cross-Florida Canal in the late 1950's. I have been told - unconfirmed - that a Fort Lauderdale outfit named Gregg, Gibson and Gregg may have been involved. A bloke who claimed to have worked there as an apprentice reckoned that the older guys used to ocasionally talk about such a beast but he never saw any visual evidence of it.
A contact in Texas once said that a freind of his claimed to have come across some HUGE track pads in a Florida scrap yard. He reckoned his informant claimed that these track pads were 10 feet across, which would match the information in that clipping. That is all I have ever been able to uncover. I have sent out quite a few feelers to different places, almost all fo which have remained un-answered to this day.
I would very much appreciate any further information on this jigger.
You have a wonderful day.
Best wishes.

Hi, Roddyo.
Us vintage folks sometimes need our nanna naps. 'Sides, I do have a life away from HEF too, surprising as that may seem. LOL.

Who are you guy's to say a D12 Dozer isnt been Developed?
I Dont think they need to produce a bigger machine, D11 Dozers sell by the ship load and it's not gonna end anytime soon.
Talk about the electric drive truck's a few year ago would have been laughed out of the forum!
Hey Northart: Nice picture.
Hi, Haul-Pak.
Even more notably, talk of a Cat diesel-electric dozer would have been greeted with gales of laughter 12 months ago. Not now. Mind you, IMHO the video that they released at the time WAS a bit of a joke.
I personally have NO idea what Cat may have on the drawing board since they have, in their 'limited wisdom', chosen to not take me into their confidence. How-wevver, the only dozer bigger than the D11 currently on the market appears to have shown itself to be a bit of a 'fizzer' with dead ones lying all over the place and D11 sales beating it every which way. Maybe there is a market for a bigger dozer in jobs like mine reclamation which is likely to become an even bigger task in the future.
Maybe I'm a trifle myopic but I can't see a lot of application for a bigger dozer in most contracting/civil engineering situations simply because of the difficulty of moving them, unless somebody can come up with DURABLE form of modular dis-assembly and re-assembly to make the task easier and quicker.
There ARE road-registerable floats currently available that WILL carry up to 250-300 tons but even they would be expensive to use in moving a dozer of say 150-170 tons. What's more, most road authorities, at least DownUnder, tend to frown on using these rigs to transport loads in one piece which could have been broken down into lighter loads. Party poopers. I KNOW the 'gear-jammers' would love to be able to brag that they had shifted a 170-ton dozer somewhere.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day.
Best wishes.

Hello Deas Plant,
Hhmmnn, well if I made a mistake on the photo credit ,it's my fault, I stand corrected.
I have another of the same with Swishy's logo.
This is all I have.
Another colorful local passed away a few yrs ago, claimed to have invented a dozer, with the engine inside the track. Maybe he had something to do with this. He was nearing the end, and was not coherent many times, I suspect to medications. I tried my best to get a clear story, but all was a fog.
Hi, Northart.
I suspect that our photo-phiddling phriend may have pirated those photos from the Florida state archives pages as I have seen them there in connection with the Cross-Florida Canal. The one shown in Swishy's phiddled photos is a smaller version and appears in several places in those archives. I would guess its weight to be around 50 - 60 tons, maybe.
The one in the clipping, I have not been able to find anywhere, especially not in those archives. The caption with the clipping gives its weight as 300 tons.
It's always sad when an old-timer who may have interesting information 'loses the plot' and can no longer communicate properly. We all have to go sometime but I think I'd like to keep most of my marbles until the end. Then again, that might depend on who is around pestering me too. Do you know any of the close friends and associates of the dead man who may have a clue or two about the gadget of which he spoke?
You have a wonderful day.
Best wishes.
Deas Plant.
Hello Deas Plant,
No , he was a WW2 veteran, and his associates of the younger days are most elsewhere or gone.
I did glean that he had something to do with the Stretch D8-14A's . He spoke in great detail about the military using them, in Greenland.
There are some here in Alaska somewhere. I seen them years ago , myself. Never even thought about taking a picture back them days.
Still looking. The computer age and internet sure has provoked lotsa interest in people like myself, in learning about the history of such.
Hi, Northart.
I too know a LOT more now than I would have without computers and the internet. What's more, I have been able to share that knowledge and my experience with people up to half a world away whom I may NEVER meet face to face. There are some minuses about the internet, like the spread of child pornography and such like, but I think the plusses FAR outweigh those minuses.
There's no way I could have collected or shared my library of vinatge machinery photos without the 'net either.
You have a wonderful day.
Best wishes.
Deas Plant.
Hi Deas Plant,
Just Delete that "NEVER" and change it to "HOPE" .
Like my Dentist said , peoples finances drive their decisions.
Meantime sure is a pleasure to communicate with this modern technology.
My Grandparents thought to recieve a letter with a 3 week old PostMark was just terrific.
Anyway back to modern visions of a BIGGER Caterpillar Dozer . The Moment will come , via technology. Caterpillar has the idea, Modular components .
Like the crane people, strip down into the least moveable parts for legal shipments.
Whats the limits ?? Imagination and the market place.
So, back to the subject. Will the D12 have conventional oval track design or be a high drive? Will it have the electric drive like the new D7E?
I would imagine if Cat has a D12 in the werkz, it will more then likely be a high sprocket due to the beating the sprocket and drive connection take when a simple oval track, and then also to that extent, it aids those who maintains the operation of the machine, easily accessable to work on with the high track. So, I don't see the D12 if made, being a oval track type dozer.
Last edited by Cat-385BL; 12-01-2008 at 01:07 AM.
The new D7E is oval. The high tracks have never impressed me much. The ovals worked well for years. Rumor mill says back to oval to.
Yes and no on the oval drive. On smaller machines, oval makes more sense...less expensive to manufacture, not as much of an advantage performance wise, etc. On larger tractors, elevated sprocket works out better. Cat has gone back to oval track for the smaller machines, but said they are sticking with the elevated sprocket on the larger,,,I think D8 and bigger, but I don't remember for sure.
Throwin' dirt at truckers all day long.
Im pretty sure that D7E is a high drive.... they have that new D6K with the oval track that is supposed to be a JD 700 fighter. On a machine such as a high production finish dozer like these two, it makes sence to use an oval track.... most of the reasons being lower center of gravity and lighter overall weight of the machine.
But get into some heavy cuts or rough ground.... the high track will shine. My last company had a D5M PAT N/G with a brand new Cat undercarriage on it, and it ate up rock and shale. Just as long as nothing was too big......

Updated: A 59-year-old man who had recently been evicted from his home after it was condemned for code violations reportedly opened fire at a Pennsylvania municipal meeting on Monday night, killing three and injuring at least three others.
The alleged killing spree by Rockne Warren Newell at the Ross Township meeting ended when a local government official and another citizen overpowered him as he was returning to the building with a second weapon he had just taken from his car, according to the Morning Call and the Pocono Record.
The shooter, who was reportedly shot with his own gun as he was taken down, survived and is jailed in Monroe County. Those killed were David Fleetwood, 62, a member of the Chestnuthill Township board of supervisors who also served as Ross Township's zoning officer, and Gerard Kozic, 53, and James V. LaGuardia, 64, both Saylorsburg residents. The latter two men died at the scene of the 7:20 p.m. shooting and Fleetwood died at a hospital about an hour later, authorities told the Morning Call.
Police say more than 20 rounds were fired from a Ruger Mini-14 rifle and a .44 Magnum revolver, the Pocono Record reports. The handgun was purchased legally but authorities have not yet traced ownership of the rifle.
Another 90 rounds were found in Newell's car, Reuters reports.
State police said Newell was not wearing body armor and told them he did not expect to survive his attack, according to the Pocono Record. He said, "I wish I killed more of them!" as he was taken to an ambulance, the Morning Call reported. Newell told state police he had intended to shoot a municipal attorney, who reportedly was present at Monday's meeting but does not appear to have been injured in the attack.
"He further related that he specifically targeted the meeting because it was the only time he could get all of the township supervisors and the solicitor in a single location," says a filed court affidavit, which is based on a state police interview of Newell after the attack. "He further related that he intended to shoot the solicitor and supervisors, and thought that he would then be killed during the incident."
Newell was arraigned Tuesday on three counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault, according to the Pocono Record.Articles by the Pocono Record and the Associated Press do not say what, if any, plea was entered for him or include a comment from his counsel, if any.
Newell, who said he had a gunshot wound in his leg, was asked by the judge if he had any real estate, among other questions apparently intended to determine whether he should be provided with a public defender.
"They stole it from me. That's what started all this," he responded.
Authorities said the Monday night attack ended when West End Open Space Commission Executive Director Bernie Kozen tackled Newell and took him down, with the help of another man, Mark Kresh. He and Kozen managed to wrestle the suspect's gun from him, according to state police.
"It was certainly courageous what they did," said state police Capt. Edward Hoke, at a news conference. "They absolutely would have saved lives. He was entering the building again with a handgun, and his intent had been shown to do harm to people, and certainly if they would not have done that he would have injured other people."
In a first-person account by a Pocono Record reporter who was present at the time of the shooting, attending his first-ever meeting of Ross Township's governing board, Chris Reber said he hit the deck and crawled out of the building as at least 10 shots were fired. Outside, as he hid behind a sports utility vehicle, he saw the shooter taking another weapon from his silver Impala.
Newell and the township had been in dispute for more than 10 years because of neighbor complaints about the condition of his property, which was littered with junk, including old vehicles, according to the newspaper articles. He was evicted from his home last week over a failure to install a septic system he said he couldn't afford. Court records show an $8,000 municipal judgment against him in district court, although the exact subject isn't clear.
"If I lose this property, I have nowhere else to go," Newell told the Pocono Record in June. "What they're doing to me, what they've been doing to me for so long, it's wrong."
He said at his arraignment that he has been disabled since being hit by an ambulance years ago and gets $600 to $700 a month in government income.
Updated at 5:10 p.m. to include additional information from the Morning Call, the Pocono Record and Reuters.

Zsa Zsa McKinney strikes back
Now she's claiming "inappropriate touching" by Capitol police:
WASHINGTON - Rep. Cynthia McKinney accused a Capitol Police officer of "inappropriate touching" on Friday as rumors flew around Capitol Hill that the Georgia Democrat would be arrested for her role in a bizarre physical altercation.
"This whole incident was instigated by the inappropriate touching and stopping of me, a female black congresswoman. I deeply regret that this incident occurred and I am certain that after a full review of the facts, I will be exonerated," McKinney said at a press conference at Howard University.
While McKinney asserted her innocence, her lawyer said she was "just a victim of being in Congress while black...."
Race card, anyone? We got the whole deck here.
McKinney was flanked by leaders from civil rights organization and a couple dozen schoolchildren from her district who were coincidentally in the nation's capitol on a field trip, according to a spokesman. Several of the children, most of whom were black, held up signs reading "God Bless Cynthia."
It gets better.
Howard Pressley, president of NAACP Georgia, called the incident a tragedy and use of excessive force.
"The mistreatment of Cynthia McKinney at the hands of Capitol Hill Police is a tragedy of major proportion and points to the vigor of outright disrespect for women and people of color," Pressley said.
Use of excessive force? Wait a minute. Who hit whom here?!
In addition to the school kids and the NAACP, rocket scientists Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte came out to support their fellow moonbat.
"In America and Washington, D.C., issues of race have always been at play and have often been central to justice miscarried. ... We're here to be sure that this process is handled fairly and it is not rooted in a familiar racist behavior, that the outcome of this is going to be done on a very fair and a very square basis," [Belafonte] said.
This may get yet more interesting, though, as assault charges may be filed against McKinney.
Is this the party we want in charge of our country's security? They can't even navigate past their own guards at work!

Morihei Ueshiba — 1935 Asahi News Film, Hi-res video
Of all of the surviving documents of the prewar era, perhaps the most important is the 1935 film of Morihei shot at the Asahi News company in Osaka. This film was shot in sound in 16mm format and runs slightly over 14 minutes. Morihei demonstrates many suwariwaza, hanza handachi (hanmi handachi), tachiwaza, multiple attacks, and sword and juken techniques.
"Quite Probably the Most Spectacular Aikido Video of All Time!"
Of all of the surviving documents of the prewar era, perhaps the most important is the 1935 film of Morihei shot at the Asahi News company in Osaka. This film was shot in sound in 16mm format and runs slightly over 14 minutes. Morihei demonstrates many suwariwaza, hanza handachi (hanmi handachi), tachiwaza, multiple attacks, and sword and juken techniques. His partners are Shigemi Yonekawa and Tsutomu Yukawa. There are brief appearances by Takuma Hisa and Rinjiro Shirata.
Most of the techniques preserved in this film are advanced and are performed in a flowing style building up to a spectacular multiple attack finale! One is struck by the modernity of many of the techniques and the "ki no nagare" like style of execution. The visual and sound impact of this film is tremendous and it provides a window in time to the wonderful techniques of Morihei from that era. The influence of Daito-ryu techniques in this film is much less obvious compared to the techniques contained in Budo Renshu and the Noma Dojo photos, the latter series being taken very close in time to the Asahi film.
Stanley Pranin provides background on his discovery of this rare film:
I had known about the existence of the 1935 film of Morihei for a number of years. A few of the old-timers had actually seen the old Asahi News documentary, and spoke about it in terms that fired the imagination. Why was this precious document being withheld? Since the film was no longer shown and had been locked away, my only hope was to find an outside source; it was like looking for the veritable needle in the haystack. Nonetheless, I undertook the challenge of finding it. One day, a Japanese friend came up with a lead to something that sounded promising. There was a certain prewar film among thousands languishing in a Tokyo archive that appeared to contain some old jujutsu footage. It was titled simply "Budo." Not much to go on, but perhaps an interesting find nonetheless.
A private showing was arranged for me back in 1979. I sat down in the viewing room while the operator threaded the film into the 16mm projector. Then the lights were dimmed and the projector started rolling making a loud clattering sound. The titles flickered across the screen accompanied by rather grandiose music, and I settled into my seat holding my breath. Then a short, muscular man with a balding head walked briskly onto the mat and bowed to his students. I felt the tears well up in my eyes because at that moment I realized I was watching Morihei at 51 years of age! I felt like I had entered a time machine, and watched the Founder's amazing technique in a trance state. Within a few week's time, the precious film had been snatched from the jaws of oblivion and made available to aikido practitioners all over the world. It was a deeply satisfying moment for me on a personal level.
The 1935 film offers a rare opportunity to study in depth and up close the movements of Morihei, a true martial arts genius. Notice the fluidity and grace of his techniques, his relaxed manner, and his perfect balance and timing when executing techniques. Pause the action, zoom in, zoom out… watch the film many times, and you will glean new knowledge that you can take back into the dojo and incorporate into your personal training.

Objective: To evaluate the perioperative and long-term results of total pancreatectomy (TP), and to assess whether it provides morbidity, mortality, and quality of life (QoL) comparable to those of the pylorus-preserving (pp)-Whipple procedure in patients with benign and malignant pancreatic disease.
Summary Background Data: TP was abandoned for decades because of high peri- and postoperative morbidity and mortality. Because selected pancreatic diseases are best treated by TP, and pancreatic surgery and postoperative management of exocrine and endocrine insufficiency have significantly improved, the hesitance to perform a TP is disappearing.
Patients and Methods: In a prospective study conducted from October 2001 to November 2006, all patients undergoing a TP (n = 147; 100 primary elective TP [group A], 24 elective TP after previous pancreatic resection [group B], and 23 completion pancreatectomies for complications) were included, and perioperative and late follow-up data, including the QoL (EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire), were evaluated. A matched-pairs analysis with patients receiving a pp-Whipple operation was performed.
Results: Indications for an elective TP (group A + B) were pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma (n = 71), other neoplastic pancreatic tumors (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, neuroendocrine tumors, cystic tumors; n = 34), metastatic lesions (n = 8), and chronic pancreatitis (n = 11). There were 73 men and 51 women with a mean age of 60.9 ± 11.3 years. Median intraoperative blood loss was 1000 mL and median operation time was 380 minutes. Postoperative surgical morbidity was 24%, medical morbidity was 15%, and mortality was 4.8%. The relaparotomy rate was 12%. Median postoperative hospital stay was 11 days. After a median follow-up of 23 months, global health status of TP patients was comparable to that of pp-Whipple patients, although a few single QoL items were reduced. All patients required insulin and exocrine pancreatic enzyme replacements. The mean HbA1c value was 7.3% ± 0.9%.
Conclusion: In this cohort study, mortality and morbidity rates after elective TP are not significantly different from the pp-Whipple. Because of improvements in postoperative management, QoL is acceptable, and is almost comparable to that of pp-Whipple patients. Therefore, TP should no longer be generally avoided, because it is a viable option in selected patients.

Stuff you missed: Takin' it to the Streets 2013
This past weekend, while in Chicago, I had the pleasure of hanging out at the Takin' It to the Streets Urban International Festival. The Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) has been holding this festival for 15 years now. This well-oiled festival is a celebration of the Muslim community and culture through art, music, food and prayer, just to name a few.
The most beautiful thing about the festival was the ambience. It was so peaceful and serene. There were several races and religions represented throughout. You could hear the laughter of the children in the play area while watching others pray quietly in the prayer area. There was also a skate park and a grafitti area. Finally, there was the main stage that featured speakers and several musicians all day -- the likes of the Hypnotic Brass Band, Brother Ali and headliner Talib Kweli. Originally Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) was supposed to perform with Talib together as Black Star. Unfortunately Yasiin didn't make the show. Regardless, The show went on without a hitch.

Duff McKagan: 'I Just Didn't Want To Look Like A Buffoon'
Former Guns N' Roses star Duff McKagan was determined to retain control over what was broadcast in his recent reality show - because he "didn't want to look like a buffoon" on TV.
The rocker and his partner Susan allowed cameras into their home to document their lives in Married To Rock, which also featured Jane's Addiction star Perry Farrell and his wife Etty, as well as other rock couples.
McKagan admits he wanted to keep their involvement "controlled" so he spent hours pouring over contracts to make sure he had a say in what was aired.
He tells Thesunsetstrip.com, "As far as cameras in my personal life, I think I probably put more stress on myself. Just making sure the contracts were structured correctly You know limiting what they could and couldn't use, and you know, I just didn't want to look like a buffoon. I didn't want to be that guy walking down the street and be known as 'that reality show guy'. "
"I'm a musician first and foremost, and forever, and I don't want to be known later on in my career as a reality show TV guy. So I think I just put stress on myself... We kept it controlled; we didn't show our kids."
However, the bassist is glad he signed up, as the show introduced him to a new generation of rock fans. He adds, "It was innocent, if anything a younger audience who may not have recognized me does now."

Love me some Percy Harvin
Not sure if everyone has drafted already, but a last minute thought I've had since the end of this past week. I've been concerned with Harvin's issues for weeks, probably months. But Harvin says he's ready to play, and if he plays let me tell you: he's going to do really well. With Sidney Rice down probably for half the season, Harvin's going to become Brett Favre's go-to guy. It's so obvious and staring us all in the face. If Harvin's headaches don't bother him, he's going to be considered a fantasy steal. I'm saying the guy has top-15 potential this year- – if the health is fine.
So basically, if you haven"d drafted already, I say get him. It's a risky move, but this is a risk that appears worth taking.
Le's see if I'm right on this one, but I like it!

How much did he contribute to the beginning of the hostilities in 1914?
Sir, Professor Röhl (letter, Aug 1) hopes we will ignore revisionist works suggesting the Kaiser was not solely responsible for the Great War, but who to blame for our own entry is far from clear.
The British cabinet remained calm in the aftermath of continental mobilisation with most opposed to involvement in the Balkans or the provision of aid to France and Russia.
The great exception was the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, who off his own bat mobilised the British Navy and placed the First Fleet on war alert in the North Sea.

Vive le Censeur!
France, long known as the birthplace of civil rights, passed legislation late last month that could limit freedom of expression online and turn Internet service providers into megacensors for the government.
The inaptly titled Liberty of Communication Act requires anyone who publishes on the Web to register with the government. Individuals must include either their name and address or the name of their service provider on all postings to discussion groups, mailing lists, newsgroups, and home pages. In addition, service providers must verify the names and addresses of clients and follow court orders to delete content or kill sites. And if a third party complains about postings that could be libelous or threatening, providers bear the burden for "appropriate diligences"a vaguely termed obligation widely interpreted to mean investigating and removing the offending material.
Barry Steinhardt, associate director for the American Civil Liberties Union, says French Internet providers may shy away from hosting sites outside the mainstream, for fear of being forced to police controversial content. The legislation "really threatens freedom of speech on the Internet in ways that would be totally unacceptable for Americans," says Steinhardt. "It should give the French pause as well."
In the rush toward globalization, legal precedents established in one country often carry weight in another. France's new law sets the table for restrictive legislation elsewhere, and could result in the country censoring content that originates outside its borders. "There is a very real danger here to Americans," says Steinhardt.

The Liberty of Communication Act started out innocuously enough as an attempt to codify the rights and duties of French audiovisual companies. But after a nude photo of model Estelle Halliday was posted without her permission last year, the government began seeking a mechanism for hunting down Internet wrongdoers. In February, Parliament tacked on a surprise amendment that contained not only new regulations for people writing online but stiff penalties for breaking the law. Violators risked fines of up to 25,000 francs (about $3600) and up to three months in jail. The French government justified the proposed policy by saying that in an effort to control cybercrimes, citizens had to be prepared to relinquish anonymity.
European Internet groups were having none of that logic. One of France's leading advocates for free cyberspeech, Imaginons un Réseau Internet Solidaire, launched a petition drive against the amendment. Signed by the ACLU, the French Green and Communist parties, and a cluster of international organizations, the petition raised enough of a ruckus that Parliament agreed to strike the fines and jail sentences from the lawrendering the legislation essentially symbolic.
Symbolic or not, the Liberty of Communication Act is still raising hackles among free-speech advocates worldwide. Jota Castro, a European artist who exhibits work on the Web, describes the French attitude toward the Internet as "antiquated." Castro argues that France's approach to the Internet is at odds with those of other countries in the European Union, many of which favor the relatively laissez-faire attitude adopted by the United States. The French government, says Castro, "doesn't have an open mind about a medium that allows people to speak their thoughts, and especially a medium that is beyond the government's control."
Though France's Web law is largely toothless for now, Steinhardt cautions Americans to stay alert to developments in the battle over free speech in Europe. On July 1, France began its six-month presidency of the EU, a leadership position rotated among the member nations. French leaders could use the bully pulpit to advocate for changes in international Net regulations. Earlier this year, they called for Western states to support a global ban on Internet hate speech.
Though the U.S. Congress has proved willing to pass laws that restrict some online expression, Steinhardt credits the Clinton administration with standing firm against pressure from its allies to limit free speech. "I'm not always a fan of the American government," he says, "but we've been a bulwark against creating an international system of censorship against political speech. Even things that are offensive are still protected under American lawsbut France wants to make whatever speech it doesn't like illegal."

|Things about other things equals STUFF.
This week's question is very simple: how much will Professions be wrapped around/into the Garrisons 'experience'? Before we start, let me get this crystal ball out...
It's not like we're not experts at speculation, but this week... well, this is a wee bit different. Blizzard have started making encouraging noises about professions changes, that they are discussing an alteration to the way things work, and that makes for some interesting possibilities, that we might see some key alterations to a system that's pretty much remained static since Vanilla. Then we're faced with trying to work out what that might mean: remembering you won't see this feature until you're 90 is probably quite a crucial factor in proceedings. Could it be finally possible that the game will concede that, assuming you've reached that level, that two 'primary' professions are not enough?
Will this mean that we'll get changes from Level One, or will this all be wrapped up in the Garrisons 'package'?
|This is not my alt, I mean LOOK AT THAT FISHING SKILL :O
What seems to happen, and what will certainly be the case with your Tillers Farm, is that certain 'features' tend to end up being strictly Expansion-based: once you're done with that adventure, everyone and everything simply moves on and all your hard work is effectively forgotten. If Garrisons are going to have a distinctive professions bias, it is possible this feature may have the permanence of Pet Battles or something like Archaeology (more on that tomorrow) whereby the system is simply amended and updated as time goes on. Certainly making your Garrison phased will allow it to be stuck anywhere, so the potential for expansion over time is there. So, what could we expect? We know we have a Mine as one of four 'starter' buildings, but that has been established to provide raw materials for constructing the Garrison itself. There is no indicator any 'gathering' professions will (as yet) benefit from items available inside your phased area, and part of me doubts that will be the case. I think you'll still need to work outside the confines of your home, its what happens when those materials return with you that matters.
However, linking those materials that you gather in the World to the Garrison is quite simple: we just have to look to the Timeless Isle for evidence of this. Gathering on that Island gives items quite apart from herbs, skins or ore: Timeless Coins drop as well. If we go back to TBC gathering was capable of providing many other items too: motes and special herbs were all part of the deal. I can see a return to additional materials from your basic gathering skills which can be used in your Garrison, which will allow you to 'learn' additional skills on top of the basic ones you are aware of as, say, a Miner. These would only be available at L90 and be part of the Garrison 'experience': they'd form a second 'tier' of skills that you'd be able to live without if you didn't want or need them, and would depend on the secondary materials gathered from Warlords content only. If this was successful I wonder if it would be possible to amend all gathering nodes to allow them to provide secondary materials so that you could expand the Garrison to provide 'Classic' second tier patterns, perhaps allowing back classic recipes from the past using new materials from, well, the present.
|Top album. Cover's great too.
Giving you new things to make and do should not ideally detract too much from the actual business of playing the game: already we have a ton of things that you'll be doing inside your Garrison that will stop you actually levelling your character, so pinning too much more on top of that actually has the potential to be detrimental. What I'd make happen is that, once you have maxxed everything out in your Garrison, you'd get the chance to learn a third 'primary' profession as a reward: and when I say learn, I mean have to pay quite a bit of money and do a ton of work in the real world to actually achieve it. I severely doubt any skill will simply just be handed to you (and I maintain this is why your 'free' L90 won't get anything except Fishing and First Aid at max level) because the economic consequences of simply handing a bunch of professions out like that could be catastrophic. Giving us all a third would effectively allow people to reduce alt numbers if they wished, would allow people to maximise the skills they used with something like Herbalism, and would probably stimulate a more controlled form of Economic growth, as this would only take place once Garrisons were maxxed, and not immediately at Expansion start.
In essence, I feel that the Professions part of Garrisons isn't going to significantly change the way Professions currently work... but I've been wrong before. This will all get wrapped around what Blizzard decide to change about the system, and as that's still in discussion... well, who knows. The only way we get to find out for sure is in Beta, and we won't see that now I suspect until next year. If everything changes, then who knows, the Garrison could replace the Professions window as the place where you know what you've done and you work out what needs to be maxxed next. It all depends on what Blizzard are going to change... which could be everything, or nothing at all...

It seems you have misunderstood the usefulness of template engines such as smarty. What smarty, and similar template engines, provide lets you decouple your core application logic from the presentation layer.
Making a weak statement like 'do not use any template system unless you have e.g. a big magazine which needs to change design very often.' is a ridiculous and absurd. How often do big magazines change their design? I think you'll find it's very little. In fact, if you're producing a site which changes design this often, you should be looking more at CSS, not just using template engines as this will give you more flexibility than a template engine will ever provide.
However, if your application logic is being re-used in a lot of applications, which is the case with a huge variety of websites and web applications, you can easily re-use your core code, just getting designers to change templates on a per-site basis, thus reducing costs associated with building new sites. Unless, of course, you like to rewrite all of your code for each new site you do and charge your clients accordingly. Maybe you want to keep yourself in a job by having to always write new PHP code mixed with HTML which nobody can maintain, rather than reusing previously written code and just getting the designers to work on the HTML side of things.
You comments about introducing an additional level of indirection seem also incorrect to me. Smarty decouples the presentation of data from the logic which outputs the data. This is surely a good thing. It provides a separate layer for designers and programmers to concentrate on the presentation side of website, without having to get too involved with the core logic which produced that data.
I know the arguments about template engines being just as complicated as the PHP code we'd otherwise use with HTML stuck in the middle of it, but as far as I'm concerned, template engines used correctly provide a useful additional layer which ultimately makes more code re-usable. Used incorrectly, they add a level of indirection which makes the overall application slower and harder to maintain.
One problem with this article is that the author has shown few of the benefits of using template engines such as Smarty, but in order to do so, he'd have had to write a much larger article.
Another one of your comments is also wrong as far as I'm concerned, i.e. 'The chain from the caller to the output becomes unnecessarily long.' This is utter nonsense. Used correctly, the chain between the caller and output is actually greatly shortened, and the amount of information passed from the caller script to the template is greatly lessened, especially if you make good use of custom plug-ins for outputting content which is of no concern to the calling script.

Taking Back America!
So, Olympia has written an op ed in the Washington Post to let us a... It seems as though damn it, we are just plainly too adamant in our views that our elected leaders cease and desist their destructive behavior when it comes to spending like idiots, trampling on the Constitution, and inflicting us with an ever increasing and growing federal behemoth. Well, as it turns out, I have a retort for Senator Snowe. Olympia, I am glad to see you go, and I hope to never read your name again. Will you please consider calling your friends Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins and help them to reach the same conclusions about retiring. The Republican Party and The United States of America are much better off without your sickening version of leadership, and we all would have been much better off without you. You, for your entire career have been nothing short of an embarrassment and a bitter disappointment for the Party you claimed to represent, and found ways to stab the entire nation in the back on almost every issue of substance. You represent what is wrong with our political system in almost every sense of the word, and may God himself have mercy upon your very soul.
Olympia it seems, did not like the fact that the rest of us Republicans did not just let her have her own way. As it turns out however, the very best rebuttal for her rant which complained about the rest of us mean spirited Republicans who would just not give in already appeared in her own op ed. Olympia makes this very true statement in her article, but then falls short of realizing the true nature of the point. She also leaves out a very important historical fact while simultaneously displaying a staggering misunderstanding of our Constitutional Republic.
During the Federal Convention of 1787, James Madison wrote in his Notes of Debates that "the use of the Senate is to consist in its proceedings with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom, than the popular branch." Indeed, the Founding Fathers intended the Senate to serve as an institutional check that ensures all voices are heard and considered, because while our constitutional democracy is premised on majority rule, it is also grounded in a commitment to minority rights.
Here is what James Madison was referring to in that all important Federalist Paper of his. The House, which was the people's representation in federal affairs would be much more likely to be subject to the swaying opinions of the day. We have all witnessed in our lifetimes, public opinion shifting quickly based upon the ever changing national mood. This is why the House has always moved more quickly on almost every issue. The Senate, which originally was the representation of the individual States in federal affairs, was intended to be above that emotional constant sway. In other words, while the founding fathers felt it was important to allow us the opportunity to change the structure of our republic, should we notice that they did not get everything perfect with their second attempt at a viable government, they also realized that it would be best for all concerned to have some gridlock built into the system so that we would not fall prey to a politician with slick sounding empty platitudes being able to convince people that Hopety Change would be our best direction, if only on a very temporary basis. The gridlock that Olympia Snowe has complained about with such moronic passion may have been the very thing that staved off the destruction of our nation that has been so expertly sought by Barack Obama and his minions. What Snowe has missed of course is the Seventeenth Amendment, which gave the individual States representation away, and basically gave the whims of the people a second voice in the Legislative Branch. This one Amendment, perhaps more than any other action of our republic, has served to increase the scope and size of our Federal Behemoth. The Seventeenth Amendment, Ratified on April 8, 1913 changed our nation from being the Individual States which made up the United States to being the United States which happened to be comprised of individual states.
Back to Olympia, and why we should all be happy that she is gone, and should further hope that she stays gone. For years we have been calling her a rino. I wonder if this actually fits. I am wondering if I might be the actual rino. We conservatives have voted almost exclusively for the Republicans for some time. While we make up a good portion of the Party's base, we do not control it at all. The Party Leadership wants our votes, but never our voice. They are constantly apologizing for our antiquated views on limited government, fiscal sanity, beliefs in Constitutional Principles based on a literal rather than a fluid document. That 30% of American Voters with no Party Affiliation are more important to them than we are. Olympia Snowe stood as the very embodiment of that belief. Nobody cared much about what her actual views were, nor how she voted, so long as she kept the R after he name. As a result, Olympia cast the deciding vote which in reality saddled us with a Socialized Health Care scheme. While she was a no vote during the vote which made it a part of budget reconciliation, she did vote for cloture to end debate in the first place. So, in the most important vote of the last 100 years, Olympia Snowe voted with the Marxists. This stands as a direct contradiction to everything the Republican Party stands against. What difference, did it ever make that Olympia Snowe had an R after her name. She did that to us time and time again. During close votes, over and over, Olympia stabbed us all in the back.
The midterms of 2010, dearest Olympia, were a cease and desist order, filed on behalf of the American Voters, and served to the House and Senate, which demanded that you stop the march towards Communism. Gridlock, or more to the point, forcing our elected leaders to slow down and at least read the bills before them was the entire purpose of the system that James Madison, the guy who actually wrote the Constitution, touted as a good thing. So, dearest Olympia, take your toys and go home, we didn't really like playing with you anyhow. Start your new career as a contributor to MSNBC already. I am sure you will find a willing audience for your baloney there.

There are so many RINO's in congress that it makes getting real change impossible. We would need years like 2010 every election for some time to make anything positive happen. Think about how in 2008 the Dems had 60 in the Senate. When has our side ever had that? What is wrong with the voters in this country?
Jon, I would agree that there are way too many liberals who have infected the GOP. Unfortunately, they were recruited on purpose as an alternative to the, "sure loser," conservative voice in areas where our side mistakenly thought that we had no chance to defeat the Democrats. This thinking was and is nonsense. I do not however share your pessimism when it comes to our future. We elected Ronald Reagan twice within my lifetime, and as a nation, we have that capacity to do so again.
Yes, it is possible the country could elect someone great again like we did Reagan but the country is far different then when Reagan was elected. We have 50% of the people paying no income taxes and that makes a strong base for the liberals. Like Breitbart says, until we learn that we are at war with the liberals and start fighting back we won't change anything. Romney will be more of the same (like Bush) and it looks like he will win the nomination.
Jason, while it is true that we are nearing that all too important symbolic tipping point, I still have faith in my fellow American citizen, more so anyhow than in the politicians who get elected to office. There are two reasons for this. One, all people feel a desire to be necessary. Nobody is truly happy being a ward of the state. The Soviet Union had an atrocious suicide rate. Depression, and consequently alcoholism were rampant in that worker's Utopia. Secondly, Our crooked political leaders have done a masterful job of inflicting taxation upon us under a different name, that even a fellow as smart as yourself believes that half of our citizens pay nothing. Taxes are implied in every single transaction in the form of special fees, compliance standards, excise charges etc. Just because we have all been lied to for so long about the nature of the crap we pay, does not mean that it is not having a real economic impact.

Bonefish, Maybe
I'm going to Islamorada and was wanting to try to catch some fish while I was there. My mom won't pay for a guide and my brother gets sea sick. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how, when, and where I should try to catch some bonefish.
Islamorada is a beautiful place. You will love it. If I were you I would just find some flats near shore and go fishing. Try some clousers and start casting. There is no telling what you will catch, baracudda, ladyfish and maybe a bonefish. But to try to target just one species such as bonefish might be a tough thing to do. I think you can still rent a small Boston Whaler at Robbie's dock down at the end of the key toward Key West. Take some wire tippet just in case you encounter baracuda. They are a blast to catch on a fly but they will cut your mono most of the time. If you go to Robbie's check out his pet tarpon around the dock. But don't cast to them, he'll get after you for that. Ask George Bush SR. Go to Sandy Moret's Fly Shop or Worldwide Sportsman, tell them you can't afford a guide and ask for advice. If you get the right person, they will help you. Take some long needle nose pliers, maybe two pair. Some of those fish have teeth so don't stick your fingers in their mouth.
Bonefish, maybe
Also, get info on the tides in the areas you plan to fish. No sense trying to fish for 'bones on a high tide! A good place to wade is the big flat on the oceanside of the island just before the Long Key bridge. Wading in that area is generally sandy bottom. If you're fortunate you'll see the bonefish "tailing" as they're feeding. It's like stalking deer! Enjoy.
"Days spent fishing are not deducted from one's time on earth."
Try long Key State Park at the Crack of dawn and a low tide. I camp there almost yearly for two weeks at a time. I've seen bones on the flat before the bridge but The 3 nasty girls- Katrinia, Rita and Wilma have tore up the grasses there. Don't know what to expect. I would walk in or ride a bike to the "picnic-beach area" at the campground entrance, then walk slowly to the EAST. I caught and lost lots of bones off the beach area but it's grass beds are destroyed. A lot of bones cruise off the nature trail board walk area but the area is extremely muddy. Fish a small crab pattern flourcarbon tippet and have it on the bottom before the fish gets there. Keys bones are big and got that way by being extremely wary. Anne's beach at dawn also is worth a try.
If you don't have expereince- DON"T expect bonefishing like you see on TV. These fish are fished hard- can probably tell you who tied the fly.
Also get some heavier tackle and fish a chartreuese tube lure around Long Key Bridge get the cuda mad, the drop bait in fron of them. Lots of 4-5 foot cuda around the bridge. lots of fun during the day.

Spencer Reece: The Poet's Tale

We needed such a story. The romance, the sense of "close call," i.e., what if he had never won any prize or come to anyone's attention, but continued to labor in the dark – 40, 50, 60 years old — a melancholy retail clerk, making $30,000 a year, estranged from family, with two master's degrees, living in suburban Florida. It could have happened. It does happen, all the time. Continue reading

Best place in the world. Everyone is very nice and prompt. Nice not having to call a shuttle when the plane arrives. They are already at the airport! Better than leaving the car at LAX in Los Angeles.
I have only used the lot 3 times now, but everyone is so polite, nice, caring and personal. I love not having to walk the length of the airport anymore
Never have to wait for a shuttle at the park or at the airport. Service is exceptional. Up to date vans are an improvement from the vans once used under a previous owner.
attendant could not find my prepaid reservation in her "computer" , had to produce my copy of email confirmation to exit parking. several customers behind me that I am sure were getting upset I was taking so long to exit. have not had this problem in the past.
Best experience at a parking lot ever! You have got this down right.
Best bargain around...makes ease of traveling alone great.
Service was good and rates were competitive. will use again if needed.
A great place to park when flying out of LR
Driver was not too helpful getting the bags
The driver was so friendly both times. was very impressed with them both. thanks
Having the shuttle service was awesome. I arrived at the lot and parked my vehicle and a shuttle arrived at my vehicle to take me to the airport. When I returned 9 days later, a shuttle was waiting for me -- my flight was delayed at the departing airport, but it was a relief I didn't have to call to get the shuttle. I will definitely use this service again.
Convenience of having someone handle my luggage and drop me off and pick me up at the front door was great. I felt the rates for an outdoor lot were very high. I usually pay $4.99 a day in Memphis and Houston. I will consider Expressway again, but as a senior I watch my budget closely and will research a lower parking rate.
used this service before and was very pleased with the promptness and friendly attitude of the attendents. That is the reason I used the service again and will continue to in the future
your service made the travel a pleasure
Your price for this area is twice what it should be.
The drivers were extremely nice and courteous. The man at the cashier window was somewhat rude.
I found this shuttle service to be of excellent service! Thank you for making my trip even easier.
i though i was looking for a space that would have my number, were i just hed to park anywere. they should just say that
Excellent service and safe parking facility. Will definitely use your parking facility again in my next travel.
Bus was traveling the lot when we arrived. The driver was very helpful with our luggage. Suggestion: A separate area for large pickup trucks and large SUVs with wider spaces, Have personnel politely enforce. Will definitely use your service again.

I feel that a union might be met with the other kage to team on Hashirama, seeing as how he's surely more powerful than any of them individually.

Not really.
Muu could defeat Hashirama
3rd Kazekage could defeat Hashirama.
2nd Mizukage could defeat Hashirama
I see no reason for them teaming up on Hashi.
Well this forum has a large spectrum of opinions so I could see this going from different perspectives depending on the person :shrug:
From hype, ET Madara said his fight with the 5 kage was nothing in comparison to his fight with Hashirama. Dan further hypes the strength of both EMS Madara and Hashirama further. I think Kishi made it clear who the top dogs are in the manga so far.
As for feats goes, he's a master at Mokuton. This can arguably be extended to a more broad term, as far as mastery over nature itself. He uses flowers that brings his enemies to sleep. That's not really something you can do off plain old wood. He fought against the Kyuubi and Madara, so we know that he has over-all amazing strength against overwhelming power.
Hashirama could heal without forming hand seals. ET Madara said that his medical jutsu outclassed even Tsunade's without her forehead seal. These two are the same people who stood out in the ninja world, and were thought of as legends. He should in term gain ALL of Yamato's feats and multiply them further. Yamato made a waterfall out of flat land. I highly doubt it is above Hashirama to make fissures, lakes or much much more. He can fuse into his life itself, much like Orochimaru's LAC, while sending out Wood Clones that are near impossible to pick out.
These type of vs threads are messy.
No idea who wins
Hashirama obviously.
I say Hashirama only because he could use that huge plant and the tailed beasts. Plus his wood dragon eats chakra

Hey, how do you know in a random question with 2 coordinates which is the x1 and y1 and which is the x2 and y2? I keep doing the x1/x2 and y1/y2 the wrong way round!
E.G. The line MN is the diameter of a circle, where M and N are (6,-4) and (0,-2) respectively. Find the radius of the circle
I know the forumla being the square root of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2...
But how on earth do you know from the question which is y2 and y1? I keep getting it wrong!
Well I just tried it with the following:
I end up with the diameter being the square root of 40. Therefore, the radius is the square root of 20? It says the answer is the square root of 10!
Thanks for your help, but I am still stuck..
the radius is half of this, thus it is
so that was your mistake. 1/2 of sqrt(40) is NOT sqrt(20)
we also know that
so, if we have , that is the same as
or equivalently,
so now on to your example. always look to factor out a number for which you know the square root of.
so, and we know the square root of four, that's just 2. so we end up with

If the government is trying to convict you of a felony in state or federal court, The Law Firm of Frank Stanley, PC, will make certain your rights are protected. The firm has more than 30 years of experience dedicated specifically to providing criminal defense representation to clients in Michigan and nationwide. The firm has a record of success that speaks for itself.
State and Federal Criminal Defense
The Law Firm of Frank Stanley, PC, defends against state and federal charges. The differences between state and federal criminal cases are not obvious. For example, many narcotics cases can be charged either by state or federal authorities. If the narcotics are bought and sold in the same state, the case is typically charged by the state. However, if narcotics are bought in one state and sold in another, this is considered a conspiracy and charged as a federal case.
In most cases, individuals who are arrested will know where their case will be prosecuted. If they are arrested by federal authorities and taken to a federal detention center, the likelihood is that the case will be in federal court. If they are arrested by a local police department and taken to a city or county jail, they will most likely be prosecuted by the state. In either case, it is important for the accused to exercise the right to remain silent.
Defense Against the Most Serious Charges
Attorney Frank Stanley and his experienced legal team defend against:
Violent offenses of all types, including:
Sex offenses of all types, including:
Child and Internet pornography charges of all types, including:
Other criminal charges such as:
State and federal sentencing guidelines will play a role in the majority of the serious cases that the firm handles.

In these times of economic chaos and bad corporate news all around, we need a pick-up -- something to remind us of the awesome, mindless fun of video games. I've got just the thing for you: On February 10th, two Onechanbara games are coming to a console near you. Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad is for the Xbox 360 and Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers is coming to the Wii.
For the uninitiated, Onechanbara is the best game franchise ever about women in bikinis swinging samurai swords at hordes of the undead. Past Onechanbara games have featured crude graphics, repetitive game play, buckets of gore and cheesed-out plots. That's the negative. On the positive side, these games are about hot chicks in bikinis and cowboy hats slicing up zombies. I can't stress that enough. Plus, past Onechanbara games have featured whacked out boss battles similar to the one in Japan-only Onechanbara Vortex, where your be-thonged avatar battles a freakin' undead whale. Here's a screenshot to prove I didn't make that up:
So, are you going to take my advice and pick up one of these games? Or am I going to have to come over there and make you?

It's been a disappointing year thus far for Kentucky basketball and head coach John Calipari.
They have four losses heading into the new year, or roughly double the number of losses they had last year in their championship run. Kentucky dropped a 55-game home winning streak when Baylor defeated the Wildcats at Rupp Arena.
Most recently Kentucky fell to archrival Louisville for the first time in five games.
However, who has been the most disappointing Wildcat player so far this year? Well that is up for debate, and if you ask someone in Big Blue Nation, you'll most likely get seven different answers—one for each player in the rotation.
I do believe the jury is out on a lot of Kentucky players, but this is my list for the most disappointing Wildcat, starting with the least.
I'm sure many of you will have an opinion on my list, so make your voice heard in the comments section.

Charlie Adam, Jordan Henderson, and Stewart Downing have all been given their chances over the two games and have produced mixed results.
