Pot noodles are my guilty pleasure. There, I've said it, and I'm not ashamed of it, though I do on occasion berate myself for reaching for Asian instant noodles instead of spending time on something more wholesome.
Then again, the time commitment required to make noodles from scratch varies, from a quick stir-fry using supermarket ingredients to a fancy ramen that involves several stages and an overnight rest. (Mind you, I have spared you the need to make the noodles yourself, which some ramen fanatics would consider sacrilege.)
The noodle you use depends on what you want from a dish: wide and flat opaque rice noodles are naturally gluten-free, as are those translucent, long, thin glass or cellophane noodles, which are made from vegetable starches such as mung bean or sweet potato. Thin, light, brown buckwheat soba noodles are perfect for cold dishes – cubes of mango mixed with cooked butterbeans or fried squares of aubergine, herbs and toasted nuts work for me – whereas the light yellow and stiffer wheat flour ramen noodles are better served warm in a soup.
White wheat flour udon noodles, ribbon-like kishimen noodles, vermicelli-like hiyamugi wheat noodles… there are variations for all occasions, time requirements and dietary intolerances. And before you get noodling, stock up at an Asian food store, if you can – rice vinegar, palm sugar, mirin, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, black and white sesame seeds, Thai red shallots and kaffir lime leaves are all useful pantry staples – though most large supermarkets also have a good (if more expensive) range.
Japchae with mushrooms
Japchae is a Korean dish of sweet potato noodles mixed with vegetables. Omit the oyster sauce to make it vegetarian – it works just as well without – and use tamari soy sauce if you want it to be gluten-free as well. Serves four, generously.
40g dried black fungus (pak-pui) or dried wood ear mushrooms
100ml soy sauce
2 tbsp muscovado sugar
1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
200g sweet potato starch noodles (Korean vermicelli)
1 tbsp sesame oil
250g large spinach leaves, washed
2 tbsp groundnut oil
1 small onion, peeled and finely sliced
5cm piece ginger, peeled and julienned
2 large red chillies, deseeded and julienned
1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
150g shiitake mushrooms, cut into 1cm slices
2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
Put the dried mushrooms in a bowl, cover with boiling water and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain, discard the woody stem, then cut into 0.5cm-thick strips and set aside. In another bowl, whisk the soy, sugar and oyster sauce, if using, and set aside.
Fill a medium pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the noodles, cook for eight minutes (or according to the packet instructions) and drain. Transfer to a medium bowl, pour on the sesame oil and mix. Refill the pan with water, bring to a boil, cook the spinach for a minute and drain.
Heat the groundnut oil in a wok or sauté pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the onion for five minutes, stirring a few times, until it starts to take on some colour. Add the ginger, chilli, carrot and shiitake, fry for two minutes, then add the rehydrated mushrooms, noodles, spinach and soy-sugar mix. Stir-fry for two to three minutes, remove from the heat, stir in the sesame seeds and serve.
Stir-fried noodles with cabbage, sesame and peanuts
Use a mandoline or food processor to speed along the slicing and shredding, and make this a very quick meal. The mix of black and white sesame seeds looks great on the plate, but use just white if that's all you have. Serves four, generously.
200g dried thick rice noodles
½ small white cabbage, tough inner stalk removed, leaves finely shredded
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
10cm piece ginger, peeled and julienned
2 medium green chillies, deseeded and finely sliced
3 tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
1½ tbsp sesame oil
1½ tbsp rice-wine vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
40g coriander, roughly chopped
1½ tbsp lime juice, plus 1 tsp finely grated lime zest
60g roasted and salted peanuts, lightly crushed
Bring a medium pan of water to a boil, cook the noodles for seven minutes (or according to the packet instructions), drain and set aside. Refill the pan with water, bring to a boil, cook the cabbage for two minutes, drain, refresh in cold water and set aside to dry.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large wok or sauté pan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli, stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the garlic starts to colour, then add the sesame seeds and cook for a minute, until they begin to toast. Add the cabbage, sesame oil, vinegar and soy, cook for two minutes more, then stir through the coriander, lime juice, zest, peanuts and cooked noodles – if they've started to stick together, rinse them with boiling water first. Heat through for a minute and serve.
Shoyu ramen
You need to start this a day ahead, so the flavour of the stock develops, and so you can lift off the fat after a night in the fridge. "Tare" is a general term in Japanese cooking for all sorts of soy sauces used for grilling, dipping or basting. Serves eight.
900g boneless pork shoulder, rolled and tied (if you prefer it less fatty, just remove some fat from the joint)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1kg chicken bones and carcasses
50g smoky bacon rashers, cut widthways into 3cm thick slices
50g ginger, roughly sliced
3 garlic cloves, roughly sliced
14cm x 14cm piece kombu (optional)
4 trimmed spring onions, 2 cut into 4cm pieces, 2 finely sliced
4 eggs
200g Tenderstem broccoli, quartered lengthways and cut on an angle into 5cm pieces
600g fresh (ie wet) Asian wheat noodles, such as ramen or udon (Amoy's Straight To Wok thick or medium udon are good)
4 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp shichimi togarashi (or a good pinch of chilli flakes) per portion
For the marinade
200ml soy sauce
150ml water
100ml sake
50ml mirin
For the tare
75ml soy sauce
1½ tbsp sake
1 tbsp mirin
Rub half a teaspoon of salt all over the pork. Heat the vegetable oil in a very large saucepan on a high heat. Sear the pork for eight minutes, turning regularly, then add the chicken bones, bacon, ginger, garlic, kombu (if using) and the 4cm pieces of spring onion. Pour in three litres of water, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for three to four hours, skimming off any fat or scum every now and then, until the pork is tender; add water, if needed, to keep the bones submerged. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate overnight.
The next day, skim off all the surface fat and return the stock to the heat, so it becomes liquid again. Remove the pork, discard the string and cut into 0.5cm-thick slices. Put the meat in a large bowl and set aside. Strain the stock through a fine sieve, keeping the liquid but discarding everything else – you should have 1.8 litres of stock (add water to make it up any difference) – and set aside.
Fill a medium pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the eggs, cook for six minutes, until soft-boiled, then drain, refresh in cold water and peel. Add to the bowl with the pork.
Mix all the marinade ingredients, pour over the pork and eggs, and set aside for at least an hour.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, cook the broccoli for two minutes, until just cooked, then drain, refresh, drain again and set aside.
Pour the stock into a large pan on a medium-high heat, add the tare and bring to a simmer. Lift the pork out of its marinade and add to the pan with the broccoli and noodles. Simmer for a couple of minutes, until the noodles are cooked, then divide between eight bowls. Lift the eggs out of the marinade (this can now be discarded) and cut each in half lengthways. Top each portion with a half-egg, sprinkle over the finely sliced spring onion and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle the shichimi togarash on top and serve at once.

Scripting Question
How many machines can you image at a time?
01/27/2015 2111 views
Hi all,
We currently deploy a WIM image to our labs (Win 7 Enterprise with a little customization) and follow this with approximately 130 apps afterwards. Once the image has deployed and the 'Copy Post Install Files' task has completed, we start the next batch. We use RSAs running Linux with dual NICs.
Problem - we can only deploy to batches of 6 machines at a time. If we start anymore (a 7th machine) that extra machine stops (fails) and the original 6 slow down. How many should we be expecting to deploy at a time? We use RSAs as we have several offices in regional areas and Security does not allow direct access to the K2 (we have no problem with that) but each RSA can only handle 6 machines at a time. When you have 2000 to image that takes a loooong time (too long for my boss).
Is this deployment number OK or are we a bit slow (pun intended). What do you guys get?
Many thanks
4 Comments [ + ] Show comments
6 at a time is definitely too slow, something is up with that. What is your infrastructure? Are you at least 100Mbps on all connections? Are you using any hubs?
We are gigabit everywhere with numerous VLANs. I figured this was too slow but it was better than what we did with our old system (only just). As we are so compartmentalised here it is difficult to track a switch/router etc that may be slowing us down without another areas assistance. Do you think that may be the issue? The WIM and all software lives on the RSA. Is that not the optimal place? Do I need to store the WIM elsewhere as SMal suggests? How do you do that exactly?
I don't use WIM images so not an option for me but have you looked into using multicasting? Might help you out...


text: It's better late than NEVER! Belated Merry Christmas to my dear readers! and Happy New Year to all! At least, exactly January 1, 2007 I have greeted you! Hehehe... Anyway, this is my first entry for the year 2007. How did I spent my Christmas? Well, we had a simple dinner with my family on the Christmas eve but this time, it was more memorable because my father was with us. On Christmas, we spent all day in our house, waiting for the "inaanaks" and we sang using WOW Magic Sing, we sang all day! Hahahaha... On December 30, we went to SM Megamall right after my workout in Fitness First Ortigas. We had our dinner in Dencio's then directly headed to the Supermarket to complete all necessary items for the celebration of the coming year and it was a headache! There were many people inside the supermarket and we cannot even move freely our push cart, sobrang nakakainis talaga yun! And another thing that I hated that day was the one hour waiting period on the cashier's line.... grrrr.... Regarding New Year, it was more enjoyable because we had more food than the Noche Buena! We have 15 round fruits, I had coins in my wallet and again, we sang before the the Medya Noche time. Well in short, it was a simple celebration of holiday season and what was more important was that I have loving parents and sisters.

I finally sat down with the latest edition of the McSweeney's DVD magazine Wolphin. It's stellar as always, and the film I can't get out of my head is Ramin Bahrani's Plastic Bag, featuring the voice of filmmaker Werner Herzog and starring a very lonely plastic bag blowing across desolate American landscapes. It's kind of funny at first, but soon Herzog's deadpan portrayal of the sad plastic bag will have you in something of a trance--or at least a deep funk.

Christopher Nosnibor
Although he's released two solo albums under the guise of Wiekie, Adam Weikert is perhaps best known as the drummer of Her Name is Calla. This first release under his own name marks something of a departure, and given its inspiration and evolution, it's perhaps not unreasonable to say that Weikert's decision to release an album as 'himself' represents a stripping away of the layers of artistry to reveal a work which is more directly personal.
The blurbage contextualises the release as follows: 'Born years ago as response to cope with a traumatic event of his youth, and revived years later after ill health forced Adam to temporarily stop singing – USIDOH showcases the scattered fragments of poems alongside happenstantial Neoclassically themed works, creating a unique and personal experience.'
Attempts to unravel the meaning of the album's title, which I take to be more of an initialism than an acronym, during the writing of this review bore little fruit of use. The poems – which are contained in an 80-pagebook which accompany the physical release – are considerably more instructive as to the true meaning of the project. That isn't to say they're in alignment with the album's eleven (instrumental) tracks, because the poems – plural – essentially blur into a single, drifting longform work which has its own shape and tempo, as well as illustrations which augment rather than impinge on the experience. That is to say, the two elements of the project are complimentary rather than directly parallel. Nevertheless, the poems are absolutely integral to the overall experience, rendering USIDOH more of a multimedia work than simply a musical piece.
The words are weighty and the presentation is not only highly visual but intrinsic to the execution. Just as the music on USIDOH draws on aspects of the postmodern and the avant-garde within its broadly neoclassical framework – Wiekert conjures a vast array of atmospheres and emotions through the use of abstraction and semi-ambient field recordings and found snippets in conjunction with mewling saw, sweeping strings, brooding piano and nagging banjo – so the poems pull on high modernism, postmodernism and concrete poetry to further accentuate the lines, disparate and abstract yet unified by virtue of emanating from the same mind, over a period spanning the six years from 2005 to 2011.
'Die Puppe' weaves in and out of experimental atmospherics, before 'Vardøhus Festning' forges an imposing, imperious mood. 'Sloth' is a simply beautiful piano composition, which rolls and drifts mellifluously. There's almost a playfulness about 'A Constant Repose', which first aired via YouTube aired a couple of months ago, the nimble piano work affecting a lightness of mood. But beneath it lies a subtle undercurrent of nostalgic melancholy. And if anything, it's this emotional layering and the depth of nuance and detail which makes USIDOH such an appealing and compelling work, musically.
As a complete package, there's a lot to unravel. USIDOH is very much art: Wiekert has poured everything into this, and it shows. There are times when it's not easy to penetrate, but that in itself is reason to set aside some time to explore a work that multifaceted, deep and resonant, and achieves this without slipping into pretentiousness. There's no question that USIDOH is ambitious, but Wiekert succeeds in delivering something which conveys the vision.

Does Affirmative Action Do What It Should?
March 16, 2013 • Dan Slater, New York Times Magazine
web site
In the lead story in the NYT's Sunday Review, Dan Slater undertakes a careful inquiry of the debate over "mismatch" in higher education. His conclusion: "If affirmative action continues — either until Justice O'Connor's 2028 horizon or beyond — then the results from California and the Bar Passage Study suggest it's worth a closer, numbers-based look at the consequences, for everyone.. " Read Article
The New Affirmative Action
"In another time, it wouldn't have been too hard to guess where Frances Harris would have ended up going to college. She has managed to do very well in very difficult circumstances, and she is African-American. Her high school, in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento, was shut down as an irremediable failure the spring before her freshman year, then reopened months later as a charter school. Midway through high school, her father developed heart problems and became an irritable fixture around the home. She also discovered that he was not actually her biological father. That was a man named Leroy who, when her mother took Harris to see him, simply said his name was George and waited for her to leave. In Harris's senior year, her mother lost her job at a nursing home and the family filed for bankruptcy."
A Mismatch Effect? Affirmative Action Policies Need Closer Study
"The best data in the nation for studying any mismatch effect in law schools reside in the archives of the State Bar of
California, the state agency that administers the bar exam and oversees the conduct of lawyers. Starting in the 1980s, the California bar has maintained careful records on the backgrounds of bar exam-takers and their performance on its tests. With this data, it is possible to compare how students with similar college grades and LSAT scores do on the bar when they've attended different law schools and experienced different types of legal education. It is also possible to more deeply compare the bar performance of minority students before and after Proposition 209 and use other careful techniques to test whether the mismatch effect exists."
Affirmative Action Backfires
"Three years ago, UCLA law professor Richard Sander published an explosive, fact-based study of the consequences of affirmative action in American law schools in the Stanford Law Review. Most of his findings were grim, and they caused dismay among many of the champions of affirmative action — and indeed, among those who were not."
Lawyers Debate Why Blacks Lag at Major Firms
"Thanks to vigorous recruiting and pressure from corporate clients, black lawyers are well represented now among new associates at the nation's most prestigious law firms. But they remain far less likely to stay at the firms or to make partner than their white counterparts. A recent study says grades help explain the gap. To ensure diversity among new associates, the study found, elite law firms hire minority lawyers with, on average, much lower grades than white ones. That may, the study says, set them up to fail."
For Blacks in Law School, Can Less Be More?
"One would have thought, given the decades of ardent debate over affirmative action in higher education, that the main axes of the dispute had been established. Defenders of racial preferences say that they compensate for historical wrongs, ensure vibrant and varied campus discourse and help create minority role models and leaders. Opponents say preferences are nothing but a reverse form of discrimination that stereotypes and stigmatizes minority students. But a recent study published in The Stanford Law Review by Richard H. Sander, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, has found a new way to inflame the debate. In fact, the study has ignited what may be the fiercest dispute over affirmative action since 2003, when the Supreme Court found some forms of it to be constitutional."

Artel Launches New PCS® Software to Increase Lab Efficiency and Enhance User Experience
Product News Dec 12, 2017
Designed following extensive feedback from customers, Artel's latest version of its popular pipette quality and management software features superior ease-of-use, and promises a streamlined laboratory workflow and improved overall user experience.
The state-of-the-art software is fully compatible with Artel's first generation PCS (Pipette Calibration System) instruments and is integrated with the current generation PCS. "We worked closely with PCS users to develop the best solution in liquid handling quality assurance software," says Melinda Gold, Product Manager, Artel. "With PCS version 1.2, we added specific features designed to help labs who are facing enormous workloads or increasingly strict compliance requirements perform at the highest level." PCS Software now includes several advanced features created to improve various lab processes, such as pipette identification, scheduling and reporting. In addition, the new software allows for barcode scanning of pipettes to initiate the calibration process, look up past reports, and initiate additional pipette-related workflow – all directly from the home screen.
With this latest software version, operators now have easier and more flexible ways to schedule pipettes for calibrations and interim verifications. In addition, the new software makes it easier to configure individual pipette reports with editable fields including company name, address, logo, accreditation logo and certificate number, and the title of the calibration or training report – all of which will make managing the workflow associated with pipetting easier, more efficient and, when compliance is an issue, more robust.

Tiffany's standards of quality and craftsmanship are matched by the company's tradition of introducing designs that capture the mood of contemporary fashion and define American luxury. Atlas® is one such innovation. Introduced in 1995, the collection is named for the mythic Greek god who holds aloft an enormous globe—an apt symbol for a collection that makes an impact around the world.
Created by John Loring, Tiffany design director emeritus, the Atlas® collection explores the raised Roman numerals of its archetype, the Atlas® watch. Introduced in 1983, the timepiece is an icon of style, featuring an hour track of brightly polished Roman-numeral markers in high relief. For its originality, the Atlas® watch was granted a rare U.S. patent. Of his many Tiffany designs, Loring says this is his favorite because "it's had such staying power and translated so brilliantly into jewelry that is a true statement of fashion."
The design's signature Roman numerals are the ageless artifacts of a great civilization and its elevated concept of time. Tiffany streamlines these classic symbols of empire in elegant jewelry that is emblematic of American design, recognizably sleek and modern. Combined with grooved borders and alternating matte and polished surfaces, Atlas® jewelry generates a sensuous play of light. From necklaces, pendants and earrings to bangles and rings in 18 karat yellow, rose or white gold and sterling silver with diamonds—all are moving reminders to maximize the moment and explore all possibilities of self-expression.
Every variation on the theme shines with a chic sophistication that is the essence of Tiffany. Definitively American in its bold simplicity, Atlas® embodies the strength of the brand, and of the stylish women who wear it all over the world.

What to Expect
What You Can Expect with TAVR
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is used to replace aortic valves that are not functioning due to aortic stenosis in patients who are at high risk for open heart surgery. The new valves improve blood flow regulation and quality of life, prolong life and reduce stroke.
If you have been diagnosed with an aortic heart valve condition that requires TAVR, specialized surgeons at Loyola will implant the prosthetic aortic valve, which is designed to be inserted in a small, specialized delivery tube.
During the TAVR procedure, the delivery catheter containing the valve is inserted into an introducing sheath, which is in turn placed into your groin vessels or directly into your ascending aorta through a small one-inch incision. A small balloon is positioned across the diseased aortic valve and inflated to make room for the new valve.
An interventional cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon then place the mechanical heart valve directly over the diseased aortic valve. When the core valve is in the proper place, a control knob in the delivery catheter is activated, releasing it. The core valve expands within the aorta, firmly attaching itself to the aortic wall. Once the new valve is secured, doctors remove the delivery catheter and the new valve takes over the function of the old aortic valve.
The prosthetic valve helps ensure that the oxygen-rich blood flows freely from your heart to your aorta and throughout the rest of your body.
Why Loyola
Minimally Invasive Procedure for Malfunctioning Aortic Valves
Valve surgery is one of the many cardiac treatments provided by the expert doctors at Loyola Medicine. Skilled in both heart valve repair and replacement, cardiac surgeons at Loyola are proficient at evaluating your heart valve function and determining if surgery is right for your specific condition.
If you have been diagnosed with an aortic heart valve problem such as aortic stenosis or aortic constriction, your best course of treatment may be a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), also called transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a new valve into your heart through a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) threaded through an artery in your leg. Sometimes called a percutaneous valve replacement, TAVR is an alternative to traditional open heart surgery for patients who have severe heart valve disease and need one or more new aortic valves. Loyola was the first hospital in Illinois to implant the new aortic heart valve device.
Why Choose Loyola for TAVR?
Loyola's cardiology and heart surgery program is nationally recognized for our diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular conditions. We work with you to help you understand your condition and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
Loyola was the only Illinois hospital to participate in the pivotal clinical trial leading to FDA approval of the Medtronic CoreValve®.
What Are the Risks of TAVR?
Doctors at Loyola work to mitigate the risks associated with surgical replacement of your aortic valves. TAVR does not require a sternotomy (thorax incision), which is often required for standard valve replacement, and therefore presents fewer complications. However, as with any surgical procedure there are potential risks, which may include:
- Blood clots
- Heart arrhythmia
- Heart or blood vessel injury
- High or low blood pressure
- Infection
- Kidney dysfunction
- Reaction to anesthesia

The 'Our Family Vacation' series shows how several American families travel on a budget.
Family members:
Bryant Strot: Sales operation manager for Comcast
Jeannette Strot: Math teacher, coffee shop manager
Faith Strot, 11
Bryant Strot II, 8
Hometown: Troutdale, Oregon
Annual household income: $90,000
Destination(s): A 4,600-mile road trip, spanning 10 western states and including the Grand Canyon, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone and the Hoover Dam.
Vacation dates: June 22 – July 4, 2017
Cost: $3,000
Earlier this summer, the Strot family — along with Jeannette's parents, the Silvas — took an epic road trip across the western United States. The six packed in loads of experiences — including national parks, low-cost attractions and visits to relatives — during the 12-day trip, all from the Silvas' RV. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Vacationing in the Strot household
Bryant: "Traveling like this is definitely only a once-in-a-while thing for us. Until recently, we couldn't really afford to take a trip like this. I am also gone an awful lot working. This is definitely the longest trip we've ever taken as a family, really the longest trip we've taken since my wife and I got married."
Jeannette: "We typically do smaller trips, like a lot of camping in the summers. Living near Portland, we're close to the mountains and the beach, so it makes it easier to see sights on a budget.
"My husband has also officiated at several family members' weddings, so we've been to California; Hawaii; Durango, Colorado; and now Lake Tahoe for those events. This trip initially kicked off because my cousin wanted Bryant to do a vow renewal ceremony at Lake Tahoe for him and his wife."
Fitting travel into the budget
Make it an extended family affair.
Bryant: "To make travel more affordable, we usually try to have family involved."
Jeannette: "For this trip, we stayed four out of 12 of the nights with family; we used my parents' RV and shared the trip costs with them. In the past, my in-laws lived in northwest Washington state, so we would take trips up there and stay for free at their house, then use their home as a sort of launching pad to visit nearby attractions."
Bring groceries when possible.
Jeannette: "I think our biggest savings come from buying groceries ahead of time and preparing food ourselves."
Bryant: "We're pretty frugal with food, and obviously with a refrigerator in the RV, we don't need to eat out a lot or stop at gas stations to get snacks. We were able to stop at Costco once before we left and once in the middle of the trip."
Skip costly souvenirs.
Jeannette: "Instead of getting souvenirs at all of our stops, I let my kids pick a postcard from each place, and we plan on putting those in a memory book. Those averaged around 50 cents each."

Parting travel tip: Plan, plan, plan
Jeannette: "One thing I'd do differently is nail down the exact days we'd be at each location. My mother and I are both planners, but we kind of kept our itinerary loose. We knew where we would stop ahead of time, but didn't nail down which nights. So we'd spend part of each day calling ahead to reserve spots at local KOAs or parks when we knew where we'd be that night.
"But at the Grand Canyon, we had a hard time finding somewhere near the park — everything was booked up. My mother found one spot, but the guy on the other end of the phone acted shady. He said they had space, but his manager was mean and wouldn't allow him to rent the remaining spots. If we were able to meet him at a local grocery store and give him a tip, he'd give us a space. We didn't have many options, so we did it!
"We tipped him about $40, because that's how much the campsite would have cost anyway. The whole thing was sketchy, but funny. We joked that this was his side gig. He even gave his personal address in case we needed anything."
A Nerdy perspective
Splitting vacation costs with relatives is a great way to travel on a budget, but unless you have an RV in the family, a 12-night road tripping adventure might be difficult to accomplish on $3,000. Loading up your car or SUV with a tent and camping gear is one alternative, or you could do shorter weekend trips closer to home and rent an RV. RV rentals can be costly — roughly $1,000 per week for a small RV, not including mileage — so think ahead and don't let additional charges catch you unprepared.

"If any of you is caught in any act that violates your matriculation oath, you will face the students disciplinary and examination misconduct committee and the university will not hesitate to show you the way out".

The Art of Feng Shui Living
Learning the Energy Language of Your Home
by Tammy Frederick
Certified Feng Shui Practitioner and Law of Attraction Teacher
Feng Shui can be described in many ways, but at the heart of it, it is a way for us to interpret the energy in our lives as we see it manifested in our physical home. This ancient and beautiful art form is a language of energy and it gives each of us tremendous power to tangibly affect our own life creation on a daily basis. It is an empowering, enlightening, and harmonising practice. Learning the language of the energy in your home and how it relates to your internal world opens up endless and real possibilities to change, heal, and positively create your today.
Everything is Energy
From your body to your thoughts to your things. Your Home is an outer manifestation of your Inner World. As you bring harmony to your home, you bring harmony to your inner world. By bringing attention and intention to your physical home, you will begin to let go of that which no longer serves you and allow in the energy that you desire. Everything in your home is offering a vibration and is tied to you energetically. By clearing your space and letting energy flow easily through your home, you are in fact clearing, and allowing the free flowing of energy in your life.
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui literally translates to wind and water. "Feng" or wind represents chi or energy, while "Shui" or water refers to fortune. In essence, Feng Shui means being in alignment with the energy of Fortune. Feng Shui was developed over 3000 years ago in China and is known as an ancient art. Feng Shui is a system of harmonizing everyone to their surrounding environment and energies. It teaches us how we can balance the energies in spaces. Feng Shui is based on the idea of our homes being a mirror to our energy and what is happening inside of us. If your surroundings are put right, this can positively help good energy to flow into all aspects of your life experience. Ultimately, Feng Shui is about looking deeper at the connections between your space and yourself.
Getting Started
Feng Shui is a lifestyle and a practice and once you get started you will feel the immediate shifts in your own energy and your space. Here is a list of action steps to get you started on your Feng Shui journey.
1. Sit quietly, close your eyes, and take in 10 deep breaths. Quiet your mind and answer this question:
"What is my vision for my life and my home?"
Write it down in a journal or on a piece of paper and put it somewhere where you can review it regularly. This will anchor your energy into this process and begin to connect your mind, body, and home.
2. State the following affirmation:
"Harmony Surrounds Me, All is Well in My World."
You can write this down and place it where you will see it. This simple and powerful affirmation will set the intention for your shifting and will take care of fifty percent of the energetic work as it carries you through your process.
3. Begin to bring attention onto your physical space – your home. Sit and visualize your space or walk around your home and take it all in. How does each room feel to you, which rooms do you like and which rooms do you avoid. Keep breathing, you are simply assessing your space as it currently is. I might also recommend at this point to take pictures of your home as it is right now, include exterior pictures, interior pictures, basements, closets, etc… This is only to give you a better perspective and to give you a starting point.
Setting Your Feng Shui Foundation
Once you have gone through the above steps. You can now start moving into specific actions to take in your home to get your energy flowing and shifting in positive ways.
1. Open up the windows, pull back the curtains, let in fresh air and day light, and put on some happy and uplifting music.
The key to getting everything moving is to invite healing energies into your home. Fresh air, sunlight, and music are powerful energies that will clear and shift your homes energy instantly.
2. Now, the first areas of your home to attend to is the Front Entrance and the Back door. Take the time to clear these areas of clutter and excess stuff. Remove or fix anything that is broken and make it inviting. Be sure to go outside and look at both entrances and clear away overgrown vegetation, repair anything that is broken, and clear the paths. Be sure your outdoor lights are in good order and that your street number is clearly visible.
The front entrance is your Mouth of Chi, the place where energy enters and you want to welcome fresh new energy in all the time; as well as let it leave through the back door so that no energy stagnates in your home either.
3. Next, attend to the hallways and doorways in your home. Clear them of excess clutter, try to remove things from hanging on the back of doors – relocate to a closet instead, ensure nothing is blocking the flow of energy in the halls and that doors can fully open.
Look at the hallways and doorways as the arteries of your home. You want fresh oxygenated energy flowing in and out of each room and area of your home so it can breathe easily.
4. Finally, add in fresh plants to bring in the energy of aliveness and growth into your home and be sure to let go of any plants that are no longer living. Plants also help purify your air and that improves the energy and Chi of your home. Some good, easy to care for plants include:
Low light: Bamboo, Peace Lilies, Ivy plants, Rubber plants, Snake plants.
Bright light: Jade plants, Money trees, Spider plants Palms, Ferns.
Doing the above steps will set you steadily on your Feng Shui path and you will begin to see and feel shifts in your personal life as well. From here we will move onto looking at your home layout and how each area of your home corresponds to various life areas including, Wealth, Health, Relationships, Career, Wisdom and Learning, and so on.
Take your time, be easy about all of it, and most of all have fun!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! Our weekend was jam packed with birthday parties, supper club and shopping. You still have time to enter the $25 Target gift card giveaway from my Saturday Spotlight feature at My So-Called Chaos.
Sorry for the not so great food photos below. It's getting darker earlier and I'm losing my natural light to take pictures. I've been resorting to using my camera phone with not great results, as seen in the last few pictures below! Here is a look at this past week's menu:
Saturday: We had homemade pizza.
Sunday: The Weekend Chef made spaghetti and meatballs at the request of our daughter.
Monday: I made these Maple Bacon Beer Burgers from Iowa Girl Eats and served them with fries. I didn't actually put the beer in the burgers – only because the recipe called for just 1/4 of a cup. I'm not a big beer drinker and the beer would most likely be flat by the time the Weekend Chef got home. I also substituted ground turkey for the ground beef. The maple syrup added a nice sweetness to the burger and who doesn't love bacon?!!
Tuesday: We had Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Sauce from Simply Gloria. I served these with mashed potatoes. I don't make pork chops very often and making this dish reconfirmed that I'm just not a big fan of pork chops. The sauce was flavorful though with the mushrooms, spinach and onions. (Sorry for the blurry picture above. It didn't appear blurry when I was reviewing on the camera!)
Wednesday: I made Broccoli Cheese Soup from Gimme Some Oven and Zucchini Cheddar Corn Muffins from Two Peas & Their Pod. With the arrival of fall and the recent cooler weather, I've been on soup and muffin cooking kick recently. This meal was our meatless meal of the week. The soup was tasty and easy to put together. I had made the muffins earlier in the afternoon but they weren't too difficult to prepare. I think that they accompanied the soup nicely.
Thursday: I made Breakfast Pull-Apart Bread from Very Culinary. I was able to use up the rest of the package of bacon in this recipe(say what?! Bacon twice this week? Oh yes!). We ended up eating late because I first cooked the bacon in the oven and then the bread needs to bake for 25 minutes. My son first started eating and commented that "this is interesting!" The kids love breakfast for dinner. Plus, they get to eat with their hands? Double win! I served this with yogurt and fruit.
Friday: The Weekend Chef got home from work early and made Garlicky Pasta with Tuscan Chicken from Pink Parsley dinner. The Weekend Chef noted that this was easy to make. This was extra tasty, probably because I didn't have to make it! The arugula and lemon gave the pasta nice flavor and the chicken was moist and flavorful.
What was one of your favorite meals this past week?

Day Three of the Olympics produced results both shocking and expected, notably for Team USA.
The men's basketball team shook off a slow start to blow by France, 98-71, on the strength of 22 points from Kevin Durant. On the mat, meanwhile, the so-called "Fab Five" will be sending two gymnasts to the all-around finals — just not the two that were widely expected to clash next Thursday. Gabby Douglas cruised on through qualifying, but 2011 all-around world champ Jordyn Wieber finished well behind Douglas and Needham, Mass. native Aly Raisman. As each team is limited to only two representatives in the all-around final, Wieber did not qualify.
China and the United States both have an Olympics-best 12 medals but because China has six gold, they are atop the list and the U.S. is second. Italy is in third place with eight medals.
What surprises will Day Four have in store? Here are some of the highlights for Monday's competition, with all times listed in Eastern Standard Time.
6:30 a.m., NBColympics.com (Live stream) — Men's Individual Archery, Round of 64
For all you early risers, make sure to check out South Korea's Im Dong Hyun. Legally blind yet ranked second in the world, Im broke his own world record in the opening round last Friday and looks to add another chapter to his incredible story by advancing through the competition.
11:30 a.m., NBColympics.com (Live stream — will be shown on NBC in primetime) — Men's Gymnastics Team Final
While not as marquee of an event as the women's team final, this is still worth a watch as the American men — who qualified in first place on Saturday, well clear of second- and third-place Russia and Great Britain — try to bring home their first gold in the event since 1984.
1:40 p.m., MSNBC — Women's Water Polo, USA vs. Hungary
Water polo may be the toughest sport you've neither attempted or watched. Check out the insane degree of difficulty when the Americans take on the Hungarians, also streaming online at NBColympics.com.
2:40 p.m., NBColympics.com (Live stream — will be shown on NBC in primetime) — Swimming Finals, including the Men's 200-Meter Freestyle and Women's 100-Meter Backstroke
Ryan Lochte can't rest on the laurels of his victory in Saturday's 400-Meter Individual Medley too much, as he'll swim his third event in as many days. Meanwhile, emerging 17-year-old superstar Missy Franklin will swim in her second final after Saturday's 4×100-Meter Freestyle, which is part of her daunting seven-event schedule.
5:15 p.m., NBC Sports Network — Women's Basketball, USA vs. Angola
Olympic veterans Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird lead a team looking for its fifth consecutive gold medal and seventh overall. The U.S. beat Croatia, 81-56, in the opener on Saturday.

ANNE HATHWAY: So, what's the deal here?
VALENTINO: For the last time, I JUST LIKE TO BE TAN, ALL RIGHT? I WANT TO BE TAN. I WANT TO BE THE COLOR OF A BURNISHED COFFEE TABLE. I WANT TO BE THE COLOR OF A DELICIOUS MAPLE DANISH. I WANT –
ANNE: No. What's the deal with this EVENT? I know about your tanning thing.
VALENTINO: Ah. Apologies. People are usually just so….
ANNE: I know.
VALENTINO: But yeah. I don't know.
ANNE: What do you mean?
VALENTINO: What do YOU mean?
ANNE: Why am I dressed like this? I can't tell what the hell the dress code was at this party.
VALENTINO: It's called the The White Fairy Tale Love Ball.
ANNE: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Is it a ball celebrating fairytale love at which we are all supposed to wear white? Is it something called a "Tale Love Ball" for someone called the White Fairy, and if so, is she going to kill us all?
VALENTINO: I think that's the White Witch.
ANNE: Well. That's a relief. But if it's a White….Love…Ball thing, why are some people wearing red?
VALENTINO: We are raising money for parks for underprivileged Russian children!

ANNE: Okay. So you really have no idea what's going on?
VALENTINO: Not really.
ANNE: And it MIGHT be weird that I'm wearing this thing on my head, and it might not be weird?
VALENTINO: Honestly, it probably is at least a little weird.
ANNE: …I just hope there's an open bar.

Warehouses for Rent in Charleston (and How to Find Them)
RealMassive | Guest Authors
If you don't know where to begin, finding a warehouse for rent in Charleston can be a daunting task. Negotiating deals, determining terms, and signing a lease can be overwhelming if you don't have a commercial real estate agent to help you nail down a space.
Learning how to find a warehouse for rent in Charleston and hiring the right commercial real estate agent for the job can help get your business up and running in a quicker amount of time.
1. Choose a type of property: Do you know what kind of warehouse space you need? Do you need a standard warehouse, flex space, etc? Are you going to be manufacturing goods or distributing them? All of these questions will help determine which space works best for you.
2. Hire a Commercial Real Estate Agent:I can't stress enough how important it is to have a professional help you find a warehouse for rent in Charleston. The market is huge, overwhelming, stressful, and fast-paced. It's best to have a agent on hand who knows how to handle any questions you may have or issues that could arise.
3. Research Properties: Use online tools and websites as well as the professional opinion of your commercial real estate agent to find warehouses for rent that you're interested in and then GO SEE THEM IN PERSON. You're never going to get a true feel for the gems a property holds until you set foot inside the place and see it for yourself.
4. Evaluate & Negotiate Lease Terms: Evaluating, negotiating, and renegotiating lease terms is part of a process that can be incredibly stressful and is better left to a professional. A commercial real estate agent will know how to discover hidden expenses, explain what maintenance and utility costs you're responsible for, may possibly have knowledge or a relationship with the potential landlord, and will know how to negotiate clauses and concessions to your benefit.
5. Sign the lease: Once you and your commercial real estate agent have found the perfect warehouse for rent and negotiated terms, it's time to sign the lease and hit the ground running!
Do you have further questions about warehouses for rent or sale in Charleston? Feel free to contact me and let's chat!

PR Newswire
SAN PEDRO, Calif., June 2, 2014
SAN PEDRO, Calif., June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Worthington & Caron (http://mesothel.com/) Law Firm is pleased to announce that a jury in Fresno, California, has returned a substantial verdict in favor of our clients, the family of James 'Jimmy' Phillips, deceased, a 59-year-old plumber and race car enthusiast.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140530/92888)(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140530/92887)
Defendant Honeywell, whose predecessor, Bendix, made asbestos-containing brake pads and linings, was the only defendant at trial. The jury awarded $7.4 million in compensatory damages and assigned 30% of fault to Bendix. The jury also found that Bendix acted with reckless indifference and awarded an additional $3.5 million in punitive damages. This was the first mesothelioma verdict ever awarded in Fresno.
The lawsuit was originally filed in May 2012 in Alameda County, California. The defendants fought to transfer venue to Fresno, where they anticipated a more "defense-friendly" jury pool. The Fresno jury deliberated six days before rendering its verdict in favor of the Phillips family. The trial team of Stuart Purdy and Rob Green (attorneys with co-counsel Simon, Greenstone, Panatier, Bartlett) did an outstanding job putting on a strong case against a very tough defendant in a new jurisdiction.
According to Rob Green, "Jim was always the guy the family and community called on to help them out when something went wrong. It was an honor to help out Jim and his family. Our trial was straightforward. We explained what science, medicine and common sense told us, and what every reputable expert in the field agreed with, about this defendant's asbestos products. The jury understood it and held them accountable."
Jimmy was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma in March of 2012. After nearly a year of treatment, Jimmy passed away from his asbestos-caused cancer.
Purdy and Green presented evidence that Jimmy was exposed to asbestos dust from automotive products while working on cars, race cars, trucks and heavy equipment beginning in the 1960s.
John Caron of Worthington & Caron notes, "How many men like Jim spent time as a teenager working part-time at a service station or doing shade tree work on their cars? This was a virtual rite of passage in our car-crazed nation in the 1950s through 70s. Unfortunately, this little slice of Americana had deadly consequences for Jim and many others because of the asbestos that manufacturers like Bendix included in their products. We applaud the jury for holding Bendix accountable for its role in causing the nightmare the Phillips family has been living since Jim's diagnosis."
Jimmy leaves behind Charity, his wife of 41 years, five children and fourteen grandchildren. The family has chosen to work through their loss by banding together to help others in their battle against cancer. On May 24, Kourtni, one of Jimmy's daughters, organized the 1st Annual "Jimmy's Golf Tournament" in Mariposa, California. The tournament was an incredible success. A small army of friends and family helped raise over $12,000, half of which was donated to support mesothelioma research at the Pacific Meso Center (http://www.phlbi.org/) in Los Angeles. The other half will be distributed to local families battling cancer and towards a college scholarship at the local high school.
Worthington & Caron are proud to be Gold Sponsors of the 1st Annual Jimmy's Golf Tournament, and look forward to many more years of supporting this worthy fundraiser that honors an outstanding man.
Charity is extremely grateful and thankful to all of her attorneys. "I am so proud of Stu and Rob. They never backed down. The entire legal team was so supportive, both with any legal issues as well as personal issues. Those boys fought long and hard for Jimmy. I consider them a part of my family now."

The village that never became a market town
The village of Nordby on the island of Samsø is considered by many as one of the country's most noteworthy. And rightly so. The well preserved village centre around the pond is home to low, semi-attached, half-timbered houses and crooked, narrow streets. Samsø…
Charmed by Nordby
Author Achton Friis and painter Johannes Larsen published their three-volume work The Islands of the Danes" in the 1920s. They were seduced by Samsø's fertile earth. In May 1922, Nordby was one giant blossoming orchard. And even though its population had fallen slightly as farmers moved away, it was still possible in some places "to walk from one farm house roof to the next," as Friis put it. Larsen painted the town's blossoming orchards and houses by the pond, and he took his time to note the variety of unique weathervanes that topped the roofs. He also designed the town's large stone wells, and the uncommonly festive, Medieval-inspired bell tower, built in 1857 as a way to alert the people of the town. "

Pinguy 11.04 Review
cPinguy is a Linux distribution that is geared towards netbooks that is based on Ubuntu 11.04. It uses a modified version of GNOME and is packed with many applications geared towards netbooks gta 5 free. It is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit flavours.
Like most Linux distributions, Pinguy does offer you the option of just testing it prezi app herunterladen. In testing mode, you are able to boot into Pinguy without it erasing any of your information on your hard drive and allows you to test drive it without any commitment whatsapp herunterladen gratis. If you feel that you enjoyed your time with Pinguy, you can opt to install it onto your netbook.
If you decide to install it on your netbook, the process of installation is very simple and straight forward days gone kostenlosen. There are only a few steps to complete and you are well on your way. For those who have used Ubuntu before, it gives you a similar experience for installation java oracle downloaden. Pinguy recommends that you have 8 GB of free hard drive space in order to install, so please be aware if you do not have free space or make any, it will erase your current operating system away.
There are plenty of applications that come with Pinguy and will go into them briefly herunterladen. VLC is a popular multimedia player than can play a variety of music and video formats without a breeze. On the Internet side of things, you have Firefox 5 and Thunderbird for both your Internet browser and your email client outlook for free. You have Skype for those who want to chat or video conference with others. Empathy Instant Messaging client that allows you to connect to a variety of chat systems like Facebook Chat, MSN, Jabber, AIM, etc texmaker download kostenlos.
What would be a computer without an Office Suite? Not much, to most people, but what comes included in that side of things is LibreOffice 3 which comes with a document creator, spreadsheet creator and more Download youtube videos on your phone. For those of you who have trouble keeping your finance in order, Pinguy included wxBanker Finance Manager to help you keep track of your expenses.
WINE comes included with Pinguy by default which is a nice surprise actually. WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a program that allows you to run Windows applications in Linux. This project has been around for a long time and keeps on getting better. To check out what applications are supported check out Winehq.org's website.
I've got to say that Pinguy is a pretty good distribution. It has a nice dock and menuing system which pops up if you scroll to the left of your screen in order to not have a cluttered desktop and does not implement the much talked about Ubiquity menu that currently is in use in Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Edition.
I was somewhat surprised to see LibreOffice 3 used as the default Office Suite. From experience, AbiWord and gNumeric is usually what is included for your document and spreadsheet programs as it is lighter than what LibreOffice offers.
What I would like to see in the future is a reduced sized version of this distribution. Currently it stands at 1.4 GB and it is a bit on the heavy side and would like to see, if possible, that sized in half.

One little point–Pinguy OS as a whole is in no way geared toward netbooks. The main dev did make a separate distro called Ping-Eee, based on Pinguy, but that's not the focus of the OS.
Not to be harsh, but that you weren't aware of that kind of makes your review suspect.

Nigeria's journalist on the run
Two weeks ago, Isioma Daniel would have had no idea that writing an article about the Miss World beauty contest would lead to religious riots, more than 200 deaths and calls for her to be killed.
In last week's article, the new journalism graduate, a Christian in her mid-20s, said of the beauty contest that the Prophet Mohammed would not have complained about the pageant and indeed, may have chosen to marry one of the beauty queens.
"The Muslims thought it was immoral to bring 92 women to Nigeria to ask them to revel in vanity," she wrote.
"What would Mohammed think? In all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from one of them."
'Utterly provocative'
In the fury which erupted, more than 200 people were killed in clashes between Muslims and Christians, the newspaper's Kaduna offices were burned down, and thousands were left homeless and destitute.
A "fatwa" urging Nigerian Muslims to kill her for writing the article has been issued by authorities in the northern Zamfara state.
One Muslim cleric said that the only way she could save her life would be to convert to Islam.
Other Islamic scholars, however, say that her apology and resignation mean the fatwa is inappropriate.
The paper apologised on Ms Daniel's behalf, saying that an editor had attempted to edit out the passage but was thwarted by technology.
ThisDay printed an "apology to all Muslims" in which it said Ms Daniel's comment was "utterly provocative".
The chairman of ThisDay's editorial board, Tunji Bello, a Muslim, told the Canadian Globe and Mail newspaper that he found the passage offensive but did not hold it against her.
"She was one of the best writers we ever had," he said.
"She was a very promising reporter."
Mr Bello added that following the violence he had attempted to persuade Ms Daniel not to resign from her position, however he said he thought her parents had urged her to leave the country.
'Young girl'
She is thought to have fled the country for the comparative safety of the United States.
Back in England, where the Miss World ceremony was hurriedly rescheduled, pageant organiser Julia Morley took pity on Ms Daniel.
"This is a young girl, one can't help feeling sorry that she wrote what she did," she told news channel Sky News.
"But we cannot be responsible for somebody's opinion."
Several critics have said that the writer should have known of the bitter religious conflicts which have beleaguered the country.
And, perhaps tellingly, the website for ThisDay newspaper seems to have removed profiles of all its journalists - including Ms Daniel - from the pages.
Miss World row
What next for Nigeria?

by Dr. Joseph Mercola, Mercola.com
One of the fastest ways to destroy your health is to eat a diet high in net carbs and protein and low in healthy fats. Considering the fact that 80 percent of Americans are insulin resistant and eat in this way, it's no surprise that obesity rates are on a steady climb.
While no one diet is perfect for everyone, as a general rule, most people could benefit by restricting net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) to less than 50 grams per day. If you exercise a lot or are very active, you might be able to increase it to 100 grams.
For example, grains, rice, pasta, potatoes and vegetables are all carbohydrates. However, because vegetables are so high in fiber, they're very low in net carbs. This is why you can eat virtually unlimited amounts of veggies on a low-carb diet. It's really the fiber content that differentiates "good" carbs from the "bad."
To determine your net carbs, simply subtract the fiber from the total carbs, and that's your total non-fiber or "net" carbs.
Vegetables aren't the only high-fiber food though. A food you may never have heard of is shirataki noodles, which may be the epitome of a low net carb food, containing about 97 percent water and 3 percent fiber, zero calories, and no digestible carbs.

Well, here are the answers to yesterday's (retarded) movie quiz:
#1. "The one where the bunny throws up and the hippo shoots everyone."
Answer: Meet the Feebles.
I remember it was sometime when I was around 10 or 11 that I walked in on the ending sequence of Meet the Feebles.
You see, my brother and his friends had been going through their Quentin Tarantino/cult cinema phase of life for the past few years, so it was only natural that I'd walk in on them watching something fucked up at some point in time.
Anyway, the phrase I used to sum up the movie really is just about all I know of it, and will probably never forget for years to come.
#2. "The one where the alien jumps out of the guy's chest."
Answer: Alien (duh).
Come on now, we all know this one, right?
To be honest, I actually saw Aliens before the original Alien, and to this day I still like it better.
The iconic scene in Alien, where John Hurt has a xenomorph bust through his ribcage, is something that is bigger, and better known than the movie as a whole.
Thanks to things like Animaniacs, and Spaceballs, which parodied this sequence, I knew of this key scene long before I ever saw the movie.
Man, what it would've been like to have seen Alien without knowing what was coming…
#3. "The one where the alien's chest opens up and he pulls out a ray gun and kills everyone."
Answer: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
To be fair, this one is pretty much impossible to get unless you read my post about E.T. awhile back.
In case you missed it, check it out HERE.
Anyway, this was how I knew E.T. until I was in my teens, 'cause up until then I never made it past the opening sequence to disprove my brother's bullshit (yet oddly superior) description of the opening sequence.
#4. "The one where Godzilla bleeds (for the first time)."
Answer: Godzilla vs. Gigan.
Well now, this is one that is common knowledge to me, but might be a little bit obscure to others.
The early 70's was a bloody time for Godzilla movies, as it seemed like the Big G was squirting body fluids like a pedo in a pre-school playground.
*Ahem!* Anyway, in case you didn't know, (YOU SHOULD) Godzilla got his head cracked open as a result of multiple blows to the head from one of Gigan's bladed hook arms.
It was a traumatic experience for me a child, almost as bad as when Angilas got his jaw torn open by Mechagodzilla in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.
Let's hope those American film producers don't fuck Godzilla up again in 2011, like they did back in 1998…
#5. "The one where the guy gets his head stepped on."
Answer: Bloodsport.
Let me guess, you probably thought this one was American History X, am I right?
Well, fuck you, YOU'RE WRONG.
Bloodsport and Kickboxer were the elusive holy grail of R-rated movies for me when I was a little kid.
My brother and his friends talked them up all the time like they were the coolest, and most violent movies ever made.
Well, having seen both Van Damme movies about a billion times, I can honestly say that, while hardly violent by modern standards, both are in fact just as awesome as my brother thought they were way back when.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Anyway, there is a scene in Bloodsport, where the big dude that played Ogre in Revenge of the Nerds get's his head stomped on by the villain, Chong Li.
I remember overhearing my brother talk about this scene once or twice, and for some reason, that's what I chose to know Bloodsport by for the first 11 or 12 years of my life.
Then I actually saw the movie, and now I simply know it as "The Greatest Thing in All of Existence."
#6. "The one where Batman says, "Eat floor.""
Answer: Batman Returns.
Aw, come on!
Seriously, am I only motherfucker on the planet that remembers this!?
Just like every Batman movie, Batman Returns was hyped to shit, even going so far as to spawn the creation of the oh-so-wonderful Batman: The Animated Series.
Oh yeah, and Happy Meal toys, lots and lots of Happy Meal toys…
Anyway, don't ask me how, but I remember someone telling me that Batman was fighting Catwoman in the movie at one point, and he told her to "Eat floor."
To this day, I still think that's fucking awesome.
Only Keaton Batman could get away with saying something so juvenile and bland, and yet still be Batman in my eyes.
Definitely check this one out, 'cause he really says it, and it's a fucking awesome movie regardless.
#7. "The one with the black rock."
Answer: 2oo1: A Space Odyssey.
Yeah, I know, this one is just a little bit too vague to be considered a fair quiz question.
You remember the big black monolith that was one of the key elements of 2001?
Well, that's the "black rock" that I was referring to.
All I knew of 2001 as a kid, was that there was a big, black rectangular "rock" somewhere in there, and that the movie was really fucking long.
To this day, I really don't care much for 2001.
I guess you have to one of the cool kids to appreciate Kubrick.
#8. "The one with the train that goes too fast."
Answer: Speed.
Obviously, I labeled this one as a "trick" question because I knew no one would get it.
When I saw the commercials for Speed in the theater and on TV, for whatever fucking reason, all of the snippets taken from the train sequence at the end stuck out to me.
Take a look at this commericial:
The train sequence is like the last 15 minutes of the movie, but it's featured in quite a bit of the trailer.
Regardless, I know that I was a retarded kid with a limited attention span, so I better not get any nasty comments over this…
Even though I remember Dennis Hopper talking about a bomb on a bus or some shit, my young mind latched onto those images of the train, and filed them away as the key components of the film in Azn Badger land.
I remember the day I actually got to sit down and watch the VHS of Speed, my dad asked me if I wanted to see it, and I said to him:
"Oh, the one on the train right?"
I remember him giving me one of those, "maybe I shouldn't have fed him paint chips as a baby" looks, and then promptly corrected me.
Sadly, the amazingly awesome version of Speed that I crafted in my imagination, the one that took place on a train, was smashed that evening, only to be replaced by the amazingly awesome version that is the real Speed.
Anyway, hope you had fun with this, I sure as hell.
So many retarded childhood memories…

Ashes: That was quick!
Skipper Alastair Cook admits feeling strange as England gear up to face arch-rivals Australia in Ashes Down Under within a span of six months
Alastair Cook has admitted it feels "slightly strange" ahead of this winter's tour of Australia as he prepares his England side for next month's return Ashes series Down Under.
England secured a 3-0 victory over their great rivals in the summer on home soil and are now focused on claiming a back-to-back series win, with the first Test due to start at the Gabba on November 21.
England defeated Australia 3-1 in 2010-11 to mark their first triumph in Australia for 24 years and Cook is hoping to repeat that feat, especially as his side has a very good knowledge of their opponents.
"It's slightly strange to happen so quickly. It doesn't seem like any time in history we've played 10 Tests against the same opposition within six months so it is a little bit strange and it doesn't seem that long ago since we were here sitting doing exactly the same thing in Perth in 2010," Cook said at a press conference in Perth.
"That's one of the very interesting things for people watching: Sides start to work out guys very well and how people react to knowing what the plans are going to be — and how they react themselves.
"There are quite clear plans to a lot of players which are quite well known to the players and the public. Just seeing how certain people overcome that will be interesting."
Ahead of the first Test, Cook has challenged England's quick bowlers to prove they deserve to start alongside James Anderson and Stuart Broad in Brisbane.
Pace battery
England have no shortage of fast bowling options available to them, with uncapped Boyd Rankin joining Steven Finn and Chris Tremlett in battling for the final pace berth and the injured Tim Bresnan waiting in the wings.
Captain Cook confirmed there was even a chance the Yorkshireman could be back to full fitness come the start of the first Test, although they will not know until they see how his back reacts when he begins bowling again.
In the meantime, Cook hopes to see his squad making the most of their opportunities in the warm-up games.

So a lot of users are complaining about the tournament system, challenge system or the site wont work at all.
first of all, i am not an admin or a moderator of SWT, but i just want to contribute a bit of the knowledge i know of.
It would be cool if everyone could place the tournament bugs here in one big topic. This way, they can work a bit faster and answering all of your questions. ( like, 40% of the questions are related to tournaments in the past 4 weeks? 😛 )
For some of the problems, i have the solution for it.
1. Demo not porting. ( Make sure you uploaded a clean new version of WP on your server )
2. FATAL crash when installed the tournaments plugin. ( known bugs, not solvable yet. But, make sure you have the recent php version and its settings. Also, the fatal could also because of the plugin itself. disable all plugins and activate one or 2 at the time. Who knows that might solve it. ( this method can also be done with all plugins if a plugin would be a B%tch to you. )
3. The menu people would like to edit, can be found in the buddypress map files in your arcane theme.
4. People having problems with there logo's and headers. Always make sure you leave a max of 10 a 15 PX of each side if using PNG files.
5. Megamenu doenst work when adding this with shortcode or as a "widget" its ugly, and bugs your site.
6. visual composer doenst load. screen keeps white. = > make sure you have the recent PHP that the site needs to work properly.
7. Owl slider doenst work/show => Make sure you have the recent php that the site needs to work properly.
How can i add..?
1. icons in the menu = > with megamenu active ( not included in this template, make sure you have a license for this ) you can add these icons when going to appearance => menu and pressing the megamenu settings icon on the menu. A second bar pops up from under your screen, the second option of those settings will be the icons.
Please note: Megamenu has a lot of tuts how to work with megamenu to create your unique one. http://sevenspark.com/docs/ubermenu-3/video-tutorials
2. Adding games to the clan wars section => dont worry about that, i'm working on a export file that includes around 25 populair games you can port such as the call of duty series, battlefield series ( BF3, BF4, HL and BF1 ) for example. i place the download link later under this post.
3. colors to a categorie post = > go to categorie options at the posts section. You see an extra option has been added. Choose the color you like.
4. Adding mycred shortcodes. = Dont want the ugly white background? make sure the shortcode you added aint preformatted.
Tips & tricks
1. Using static html. This makes the website faster ( https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/ )
2. need of a good youtube player with user/users/groups options? use yottie! ( paid plugin > https://codecanyon.net/item/youtube-plugin-wordpress-gallery-for-youtube/14115701 )
3. check if Gzip is enabled on your server, you gonna see the love working.
4. if you are using your own VPS server, make sure you use plesk. This programm for your server is fully optimized for WordPress installations.
If you have tips or tricks or anything else you would like to share, let the love shine bright like a diamond and support your fellow template users. Together we are strong 😀
