|NOLA Pit Spot Reservations
Reserving Your Pit SpotAs always, the toughest part for the SKUSA staff in organizing large events each year is laying out and fitting everyone into the pits!
This year is no different, as our WinterNationals event at NOLA in Avondale, LA will see large numbers for this event's second running! ALL RACERS or TEAM OWNERS can do their part now by reserving the space they will need (as well as encouraging all drivers to get pre-registered for the event - before their classes cap out at 44)!
Emailed pit requests will be replied to with a confirmation upon receipt.
The price of all pit spots are as follows
What to include on your pit request is described below.
We will be in touch to confirm each pit reservation submitted, and will secure payment with you when we have you placed on the pit map.
NOTE: NO passenger vehicles will be allowed in the pits, so please do not include them in your layout.

The EXCLUSIVE rental tent and rental equipment vendor for this event will be Gulf Coast Tent Rentals. Tents are approximately $1.15 per square foot and walls are $3.00 per linear foot. They can also provide tables, chairs, lights and more. NOTE: You will want to confirm your pit size and location with the SKUSA office prior to finalizing your tent rental, although it's a good idea to check tent availability, space requirements and pricing right away in order to submit the most accurate pit layout.
There is Absolutely NO Staking of tents (other than pit spaces 1-15) Gulf Coast Tent Rentals can also rent blocks to tie down your tents. Please keep in mind, these blocks are approximately 3'x3' square. These blocks must set on YOUR pit space and not in the isles or fire lanes. Please plan accordingly.
Trailer StorageIf you have a trailer that will be used for transporting karts and equipment only, and does not need to be parked inside of the pit area, there will be a $25 fee to store it in a secured outer lot of this facility. Please add that note to your pit spot request to give SKUSA advanced notice.

Or just regular depression? In any case, it's something that might benefit greatly by a visit to the doc.
Is it selfish?
Quite a few do actually.
im similar to you, i used to be a lot worse about a year ago. but i can suddenly go into a really deep mood swing for no apparent reason, and i know im being a moody bitch and i know i should be like that, but its so difficult to get out of. its a difficult one, like i said before, i used to be a more depressive person-i used to a be a self harmer, and had that cry yourself to sleep kind of thing..i never went to the doc, but kinda wish i had at the time, as i had no one to talk to...i agree with the others, theres no harm going to the doctors, youve got nothing to lose
I only live in a small village and all the doctors know my family.
I was just looking for some paracetamol and totally lost it because I couldnt find any. I got irritated and hot and depressed. I dont know why I get like that
The family situation at home, seems to be troubling. It also seems that you are trying to impress someone by getting good grades. I say that because you wrote a test but u felt bad afterwards when u didnt answer all the questions.I think it could be the lack of self-acceptance that you are going through.You are being tooo hard on yourself.If you can see a psychiatrist please do.They can help guide you in a good direction.Normaly when people are depressed you dont feel like doing anything and most people avoid you. If you could do the opposite and do everything that makes you feel good. Your body will adjust and you will start thinking happy thoughts.Also your eating habits. Most causes of depression are because of your Blood type.Theres a book called: "Eat right for your type". What it does, is it tells you what excercises and foods are good for your blood type.I am bloodtype O: and i am supposed to be very energetic. if i dont do hectic sports or excercise then i get depressed which is true. This is not true for all blood types though:)If you would like to know more please contact me:)
In reply to:Also your eating habits. Most causes of depression are because of your Blood type.Theres a book called: "Eat right for your type".

This is not true for all blood types though:)I know you're trying to be helpful, but her issues are not going to be addressed by that pseudo-scientific bulls**t nonsense.I'm all for the psychiatrist idea, though. A psychologist would be good, but a psychiatrist has specific knowledge about prescribing antidepressants if they are indicated.
Thankyou, and yeh I suppose I am trying to impress my parents. My brother got really good grades and my mum keeps saying at this rate im going to do better than him, and he just laughs and says "Ill believe it when I see it"
I wish education could be separated from competition - I don't think it helps at all. Education is all about learning things, and how much someone else learns should have nothing to do with it. It's something you should do for yourself.
It doesn't feel like that with the league tables in the UK, showing how well each school is doing and how badly you rank compared to everyone else grrr
Same in Ireland. They fucked ours up though, they put our school near the bottom when we were supposed to be 5th or 6th. Ya think it wouldn't be too bad but as soon as they came out there were some parents trying to take their kids out of the school. Its pretty damn serious and it sucks.
Ok no problem:) so the best thing to understand now is that you can never please or impress them enough, for them to like you.No matter what you do, they will never be satisfied.You have to be satisfied with yourself for accomplishing all your goals:)
If you believe it is not going to work for you then it wont!I have tried it and it works perfectly for me:) The proof is in the pudding. Some people just want to have an oppinion about everything without any facts to back it up.You get different psychiatrists and yes some of them are bad, and prescribe medicine that makes you feel worse but you have to use your own conscioussness here and decide for yourself what is right?I have been to two psychiatrists and the 1st one wanted to put me on "prozac" which would have been the worst mistake of my life! Luckily i refused because i have heard stories of how anti-depressants cause side-effects and the suicidal thoughts you get. Also there was a movie that Christina Ritchie acted in called "Prozac Nation" that caught my attention and didnt give prozac a good reputation.In all due respect my bullshit has more credentials then your half-sided yes and no.
EDIT:I stand corrected
If you believe it is not going to work for you then it wont!That's what every cult/religion/crackpot says. What's your evidence for the blood thing, other than "So and so tried it, and it worked!"?I'm glad you're doing better, but the placebo effect is very, very powerful.

At Dreams Don't Die, we celebrate the life and times of Ernie Wallengren. His struggles, optimism, and commitment are what drive us to reach out to ALS patients all across the United States. We share his dreams and his vision -- a cure for ALS -- and carry on his campaign.
The Legacy of Ernie Wallengren
"Life's hardships can either make us bitter or better."
Ernie Wallengren was a multiple award-winning American tv producer and writer who penned some of television's top series, such as The Waltons, Falcon Crest, Touched by an Angel, Promised Land, Doc, and others. When diagnosed with ALS, Ernie was left paralyzed and robbed of speech, but with the help of technology and a fearless attitude he worked up until the time of his death.
As the disease progressed he struggled, persisted, and inspired others with his optimism. Until he succumbed to his illness he was a spokesman for all ALS sufferers, contributing time and effort toward ALS research and the development of a cure.
Carrying the Legacy Forward
At Dreams Don't Die, we invite you to share Ernie's legacy with us while playing your part in eliminating ALS once and for all. If you or any loved one is suffering from this disease, know you are not alone. Join us, search our pages, take heart, and never let your dreams die….
As a nonprofit organization affiliated with the ALS Association, we help cater to the needs of over thirty thousand people suffering from ALS all across the nation. We:
Raise awareness of the disease
Make information available regarding research trials
Engage in community and corporate outreach programs
Sponsor a series of sporting events to raise funds for ALS research
Help Lou Gehrig's patients live their lives with dignity, acceptance, honor, and humor
Join us today and learn more about combating ALS. Help us realize Ernie's dream, play your part in keeping his legacy alive, become our friend, and reach out to those around you – patients, family and friends -- who are affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Buzzfeed Quizzes have taken over the Internet in plenty of ways. There's something for everyone there. Aside from the obvious 'fun' element, these quizzes can teach you a lot about the Internet populace. If you're in the marketing field you can gain a lot of insight on your demographics from Buzzfeed Quizzes but did you know that you can learn a lot about yourself and your own aptitude for marketing too? We've put together a list of six quizzes that every marketer should take. Give them a whirl to figure out just how in touch you really are.
1) Are You Cool?
Well, are you? Of course you know you're cool but does Social Media think you're cool? If nothing else this lighthearted quiz may just give you an idea or two to help you connect with your audience.
2) What Font Are You?
Typography is one of the more important elements in any creatives you put up. You can come up with the best design in the world and ruin it due to a bad font choice. Any marketer worth their salt knows that what you do with words can make or break your campaign. Wouldn't you like to know whether you're a winning font or not?
3) Who Said It, Kanye West or a Teenage Girl on Twitter?
In this day and age it's all about Social Media. Twitter is one of the most widely used Social Media Platforms in the world and has become an integral part of most marketing campaigns. Of course, nothings better for the brand you're promoting than a celebrity endorsement. This should be an easy one given that you should know your celebrities and your Twitter audiences well enough to discern the differences in their speech. Go on, give it a shot. We won't judge you.
4) Test Your Internet Knowledge
I'm sure you know your who's who and what's what on the Internet but are you ready to put that to the test? On another note, this 'interactive video quiz' is a stroke of pure genius. Hopefully we'll be seeing many more like these.
5) Which Declining Social Media Network Are You?
MySpace? Friendster? Hi5? Where has the time gone? Social Media Networks have come and gone over the years with only a few really showing longevity. As Digital Marketers we've seen the best of them and we've seen the worst of them. The only question left to ask is, which declining Social Media Network are YOU?
6) Guess The Logo
Bread and butter for any marketer. Go on, do you know all the brands in this quiz?
While these quizzes probably don't paint the complete picture they may just point you in the right direction when it comes to improving your reach. If nothing else, they'll at least give you something to laugh about with your colleagues.

Post Production is the process of changing the footage after filming has finished. Post production can consist of the following:
- Editing
- Consumption/ exchange
- Marketing
- Sound
- CGI effects
- Video commentary
- Menu for DVD
- Credits
- Transitions/ effects
- Subtitles
Main Body - Thriller
During the editing processes of this project we used only basic transitions including continuity and parallel editing and some credits showing the audience who was responsible for different areas of the product (sound, camera, lighting etc)
We also added a basic soundtrack using the program GarageBand
Throughout the filming of the product we were always thinking about how we would sell/ market the product
Music Video
During the Post Production process we used more advanced techniques including a simple CGI effect which was similar to that used in the film 'sin city.'
We also had to create a Digipak meaning that we had to research into music video consumption, exchange and marketing techniques.

Legendary interior designer Jamie Drake dabbled in healthcare design when he worked with Oncologist Scot Ackerman and his wife, Alexandra, to design the interiors of their brand new facility in Jacksonville, Florida. At the time of the commission it was called First Coast Oncology, but now seems to be called the Ackerman Cancer Center. Information about the project is scarce, and it is left off of Jamie Drake Design Associates online portfolio but I found the below images and am really excited to share! According to Interior Design magazine, Drake enjoyed the challenge of working in healthcare, saying "I dislike stagnation. I love challenges—branching out into health care stretches me and exposes my work to a new demographic."

Making and Using a wet Palette
5 comments:
Thanks for the detailed explanation and photos. I've read a little bit about it on TMP, but wasn't exactly sure what it was. Now I believe I understand it thanks to your post. Best, DeanReplyDelete
I've used a wet palette for the past year or so and really like it. My is made of a glad plastic container, some wet paper towel covered by parchment paper. It really extends the life of paint and makes blending much easier.ReplyDelete
Interesting. I used a wet palette some time ago - when I was first getting in to acrylics but found it too messy and fiddly. I have read your article and decided that I might try it again.ReplyDelete
Also loved the short article about you and Mrs Paint Pig and how she scratches your belly!
Excellent post. I also tried this many years ago but gave up on it. Might give it another go now. Thanks for this.ReplyDelete
Interesting, I always wondered what a wet palette was, thanks for the info!!!ReplyDelete

Trevilians Elementary School teacher Jessica Gentry transformed her classroom into "The Jungle" on Thursday, September 13th to help students develop their writing skills!
Currently, her students are learning how to add sensory details when writing. Students were asked to describe the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches you would experience at a Louisa Lions football game.
Students were divided into teams, and earned "touchdowns" as they came up with unique terms that correctly described a Louisa Lions football game. To help students be more engaged, Gentry decked out her entire room (and doorway) with football-related gear!
"It was just one of those ideas that popped into my head and seemed like a good idea to go with," Gentry said."All of our students have been to a football game or watched a football game so it's a great way to pull in some background knowledge to make it easier to add those details."
The exercise also helped students learn how to collaborate with others and work together to achieve goals!
"We wrote a draft together. We storyboarded and drafted," Gentry said. "And then the kids came up with the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches that they would sense while they were at the game at different parts of that story. Then, we use those details to make our writing a little more interesting and help our readers better visualize what we're writing."
In total, Gentry said it took her about an hour-and-a-half to decorate her room for the lesson!

At 9:02 p.m. on September 21, 2005, he called 911 about a stray dog on Skyline Drive
At 7:22 p.m. on St. Patrick's Day, 2005, he called 911 about a "pothole that is blocking [the] road."
Then there was the pile of trash in the road near the local Kohl's, which he reported on Nov. 8, 2010. "[Complainant] states it appears recently dumped and appears to contain glass," the dispatcher dutifully reported.
A male driving with no headlights
a yellow speedbike popping wheelies on I-4
an aggressive white-and-brown pitbull
an Orange County municipal pickup cutting people off on the road
loud parties
open garage doors
the antics of an ex-roommate, Josh, that he'd thrown out of their apartment
On September 9, 2009, he called to report another pothole, this one on Greenwood road, advising the dispatcher that "it is deep and can cause damage to vehicles."
On June 16, 2009, shortly after school had let out for the summer, he called to complain about six to eight youths playing basketball near his development's clubhouse, "jumping over the fence going into pool area and trashing the bathroom"
This past January, he called to report five or six children, ages 4 to 11, playing in the neighborhood. The kids, he told a dispatcher, "play in the street and like to run out [in front of] cars."
At 2:38 a.m. on Nov. 4, 2006, he called about a late-model Red Toyota pickup "driving real slow looking at all the [vehicles] in the complex and blasting music from his [vehicle]."
In August 2011, he called to report a black male in a tank top and shorts acting suspicious near the development's back entrance. "[Complainant] believes [subject] is involved in recent S-21s"—break-ins—"in the neighborhood," the call log states. The suspect, Zimmerman told the dispatcher, fit a recent description given out by law enforcement officers.
Three days later, he called to report two black teens in the same area, for the same reason. "[Juveniles] are the subjs who have been [burglarizing] in this area," he told the dispatcher.
And last month, on Feb. 2, Zimmerman called to report a suspicious black man in a leather jacket near one of the development's units. The resident of that townhouse, Zimmerman told dispatch, was a white male. Police stopped by to investigate, but no one was there, and the residence was secure.
After that, there's one final call logged in the report. At 7:11 on February 26, Zimmerman called police to report a black male in a dark gray hoodie.

Poinsettias are considered mildly toxic to cats. However, their potential for harm is much less than that of other common ornamental plants associated with Christmas. Poinsettias, if ingested, can cause irritation of the mouth and digestive system, but there are no recorded reports of fatalities to cats from consuming them.
Poinsettias gained their poisonous reputation from an erroneous news story in 1919 about a little boy who died after eating a single leaf. While poinsettias do contain a milky sap that causes irritation on contact, it is very rare for ingestion to cause much more than mild diarrhea in either humans or cats. Other popular plants used to decorate for Christmas are actually much more dangerous to cats. For example, breathing in lily pollen can cause liver toxicity in cats and ingesting small amounts can be swiftly fatal. Holly and mistletoe are also very toxic to cats.

Friese 75
Friesenstrasse 75
This spring 2012 why not check out my other favourite second-hand shop in the city? It may be small in size, but the depth and breadth of its stock more than makes up for it!
As you may have noticed, I just love to while the hours away in second-hand stores (not that I have oodles of time!). I like knowing that what I buy has a soul and a story to tell, and Im sure its the same for you. Friese 75 has a retro feel to it that I simply love. The owner is just like the shop itself, with an inimitable old-school look. In German, I think he deserves the title klein aber fein.
The Friese 75 website displays the 10 items of the week: examples include bright green authentic lizard-skin boots, a high-fashion mens shirt, a pearl necklace, a blouse with a (tasteful) leopard-skin design, and top brand sunglasses. Better yet: if you have a good-quality watch to sell, you can rent a spot in the window and make some cash for yourself!

Not 'you' in general, youse...I mean, you as an individual reading this blog post, and remember, you may actually be the individual reading this blog post.
I think I'm reasonably hard on myself when it comes to deciding on success.
As a kid, I wanted to be a palaeontologist. Of course I didn't call it that, I called it "dinosaur person".
I'm not.
Then, as a teenager, I decided I wanted to work in an area that helped study, research, and be generally a conservationy type person for birds.
I'm not.
Then I decided in late high school that I was fascinated by crime and forensics and wanted to get into forensic medicine in order to help catch bad people.
I didn't.
I applied for a course at uni and missed out, but got my 4th choice.
I completed it, failed some stuff but persisted, got my Masters, did a PhD...mostly, and then got a job in the field...and worked in it for four years.
I don't now.
Much like how the tv series MASH ran three times as long as the actual Korean War, I spent over 9 years learning to be an expert in Remote Sensing and Satellite Imagery, and in my post-University working career, spent probably a grand total of zero days working with satellite images.
My PhD was 3D mapping the seafloor using sub-metre resolution satellite imagery from a brand spankin' new satellite called IKONIS. It was to be a ground-breaking research into seabed mapping that would unmix the water column via the side-looking/tilting capabilities of the IKONOS sensors. The result of which would have been the understanding of what you were looking at in a satellite image of shallow water. It was ace, it was exciting, it was...
|Oh IKONIS, you so sexy!
Which I don't use.
But all this is very personal, it looks at success with respect to just my own personal achievements not including anyone else, JUST ME, and harsh or not, I am not overly pleased with my achievements.
My best outcomes came when I planned and plotted. Like a good story, doing your planning is crucial, and I don't think I have done that more than a handful of times.
When I have an objective, I succeed. Even if I struggle or fail to reach it, I've tried and get at least some sense of achievement. Of course failure just spurs me on, it was why I went on to do my postgraduate studies in the first place, to prove to myself and others that I was capable of it all.
|Shut up Yoda!
How to succeed?
It's time to set some goals, short term, medium term and long term.
Yoda can get stuffed, cos I'm going to try to reach them, I'm going to set stupid goals too, ones that have multiple steps and stages, require sacrifices and skills, research and study, regular practice and revisiting.
I will try be the success I once thought I could be.


text: I noticed that when using the navigation I was sent in a route that I would have rather avoided. If I were to create a route using Google maps prior to my trip, save it to my maps in my Google account, can I then select one of these saved routes to have my Droid navigate rather then simply entering an endpoint and having my Droid select it's own route? Second question, is there a easy and quick way to dim the navigation screen when using at night?

Dump da browser
by luc • 15 June, 2004 • Tech • 1 Comment
The time has come to dump Internet Explorer. No, this is not your humble but dedicated Macintosh fanatic who says so, this is an established MCSE, who happens to like quite a few of Microsoft's products.
His argument is simple: the benefits of using IE are too few – and the faults too great — to put off the adoption of an alternative any longer. The arguments center around three themes:
– security: Internet Explorer has more holes in it than a Swiss cheese;
– standards: the absolute worst browser when it comes to supporting the standards is Internet Explorer;
– options: there is no reason NOT to switch to an alternative browser: they are actually as good or better than IE.
His favorite alternative browser is Firefox. I agree with him, for whatever that is worth to you. Go download it.

Acute Effect of Ambient Air Pollution on Stroke Mortality in the China Air Pollution and Health Effects Study
STROKEAHA: February 7, 2013
Background and Purpose—There have been no multicity studies on the acute effects of air pollution on stroke mortality in China. This study was undertaken to examine the associations between daily stroke mortality and outdoor air pollution (particulate matter <10 μm in aerodynamic diameter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide) in 8 Chinese cities.
Methods—We used Poisson regression models with natural spline-smoothing functions to adjust for long-term and seasonal trends, as well as other time-varying covariates. We applied 2-stage Bayesian hierarchical statistical models to estimate city-specific and national average associations of air pollution with daily stroke mortality. Read more

In this post I'll walk through setting up a Cisco 3560 to act as a central QinQ switch and how to set up a few example topologies. This can also be done on older / lower spec switches using the same concepts - 802.1Q tunnelling is supported in most of the gear you'll find on eBay.
Service providers like to aggregate as many customers onto a single link as possible - otherwise they can't be price competitive. Customers want circuits that allow them to not only trunk VLANs but to use and and all of the 4095 possible VLAN IDs without having to check with their service provider first.
One (adequate) way to do this is to extend the notion of VLANs. We all know VLANs separate a LAN into multiple logical partitions using a VLAN identifier tag - QinQ takes that to the next level by stacking 2 VLAN tags on top of each other. If the service provider assigns a VLAN to each customer then they can be used to segregate customers from one another as follows:
Note here that both customers use VLAN 10, however they each get their own VLAN 10 independent of any other customer's. Customers can use any VLAN numbers they like, irrespective of what other customers or the provider has chosen to use.
In service provider parlance, the first (or outer) VLAN tag is the Service Provider VLAN (or S-VLAN). A customer's VLAN which get tunnelled through is called Customer VLAN (or C-VLAN). There is a hierarchy in that one S-VLAN may have multiple C-VLANs, while a C-VLAN can only have one parent S-VLAN. VLAN IDs can be re-used across customers, however customer A's VLAN 10 is different to customer B's VLAN 10.
For our lab setup we will do exactly the same thing, but locally on a single switch. 802.1Q tunnelling not only allows us to connect trunks to each other over a VLAN but also, optionally, control protocols such as LACP, spanning tree, CDP and so on can also be tunnelled through, giving the impression that the end devices are actually attached to each other rather than through a switch.
Physical Topology
Here's a simple lab setup - 2 PCs, 2 routers, 2 firewalls and 2 switches (plus our QinQ switch):
Basically, we just need to plug all the devices into the QinQ switch. Use as many ports as you have available in the QinQ switch and be sure to label them up with descriptions! Sensibly, though, you will really want a minimum of 4 ports for a switch and at least 3 for a firewall. You can get most of the functionality you want with using sub-interfaces on a router so in a pinch you can usually get away with having single links if need be. It's all about giving yourself the maximum flexibility.
Initial Setup
Before we even begin with the configuration proper, we have to work around a dopey default behaviour in Cisco switches. Straight out of the box most Catalyst switches have a layer 2 switching MTU of 1500 for both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports. This needs to be overridden to allow full size frames to be passed through with a VLAN tag still attached.
Adjust the maximum MTU for Fast Ethernet ports as follows:
Lab-QinQ(config)#system mtu 1998
Changes to the system MTU will not take effect until the next reload is done
Note - different switches have different maximum values. Use the "?" key to see what your device will go to and pick the maximum
Adjust the maximum MTU for Gigabit Ethernet ports as follows:
Lab-QinQ(config)#system mtu jumbo 9000
Changes to the system jumbo MTU will not take effect until the next reload is done
Again, different devices may have different maximum values so use the "?" key to find how far you can set this.
Now, as it says, reboot the switch to make the changes stick.
Once the switch is back up and running, the next job is to create your "provider" VLANs. Note - these VLANs will not be visible to your "customer" topology so it's good to pick a range of consecutive VLAN IDs. I like to start at 100 and work up. Note that each of these VLANs needs to have its MTU increased from the default to allow transport of full size frames with the additional VLAN tag:
Lab-QinQ(config)#vlan 100
Lab-QinQ(config-vlan)# name xconnect100
Lab-QinQ(config-vlan)# mtu 1900
You will need one VLAN for each virtual connection between devices - I usually throw 20 in and add more later if required.
Finally, for every port where you will attach a device, set the switchport into 802.1Q tunnel mode, and enable all the protocol tunnelling options:
Lab-QinQ(config)#interface range Fa0/1 - Fa0/24
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)# switchport mode dot1q-tunnel
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)# l2protocol-tunnel cdp
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)# l2protocol-tunnel stp
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)# l2protocol-tunnel vtp
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point pagp
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point lacpLab-QinQ(config-if-range)# l2protocol-tunnel point-to-point udld
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)# spanning-tree portfast trunk
Setting Up a Basic Topology
OK so we have the switch set up, let's set up a really simple topology:
The basic process here is to look at your diagram and anywhere you see a line, assign it one of your provider VLAN numbers:
Now, for each port on the topology, go and set the relevant switch port as a member of that VLAN:
Lab-QinQ(config)#int Fa0/1
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#description PC1
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#switchport access vlan 101
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#interface Fa0/6
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#description SW1 Gi1/4
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#switchport access vlan 101
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#interface Fa0/3
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#description SW1 Gi1/1
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#switchport access vlan 102
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#interface Fa0/11
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#description R1 Fa0/1
Lab-QinQ(config-if)#switchport access vlan 102
As you can see, VLAN 101 is used to "connect" PC1 to SW1 port Gi1/4, while VLAN 102 is used to "connect" SW1 port Gi1/1 to R1 port Fa0/1. Thanks to the protocol tunnelling config, SW1 and R1 believe they are directly connected:
R1#show cdp neighbors
Capability Codes: R - Router, T - Trans Bridge, B - Source Route Bridge
S - Switch, H - Host, I - IGMP, r - Repeater, P - Phone,
D - Remote, C - CVTA, M - Two-port Mac Relay
Device ID Local Intrfce Holdtme Capability Platform Port ID
SW1 Fas 0/1 168 R S I WS-C6503- Gig 1/1
MAC entries are learned as if the devices were directly attached and the router and PC can ping each other:
R1#ping PC1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.168.0.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms
This is a fairly simple example but as we're about to get into, way more complex topologies can be achieved using the same methods.
Slightly More Complex Setup
Let's mix things up a bit by building a topology with an HA pair of Juniper SRX firewalls, trunking VLANs down to a pair of switches, connected by an LACP link bundle (portchannel):
As with the other example, we simply assign a provider VLAN to each link:
I won't include the config here for each of these as it's a pure repetition of the earlier work - just make sure that your ports go into the right VLANs and everything should be fine.
Now we can see that the firewalls have come up in HA:
root@SRX-top> show chassis cluster status
Monitor Failure codes:
CS Cold Sync monitoring FL Fabric Connection monitoring
GR GRES monitoring HW Hardware monitoring
IF Interface monitoring IP IP monitoring
LB Loopback monitoring MB Mbuf monitoring
NH Nexthop monitoring NP NPC monitoring
SP SPU monitoring SM Schedule monitoring
Cluster ID: 1
Node Priority Status Preempt Manual Monitor-failures
Redundancy group: 0 , Failover count: 1
node0 100 primary no no None
node1 50 secondary no no None
Redundancy group: 1 , Failover count: 1
node0 100 primary no no None
node1 50 secondary no no None
The switches have bundled their ports and can see each other's device IDs:
SW-2#show lacp internal
Flags: S - Device is requesting Slow LACPDUs
F - Device is requesting Fast LACPDUs
A - Device is in Active mode P - Device is in Passive mode
Channel group 1
LACP port Admin Oper Port Port
Port Flags State Priority Key Key Number State
Gi0/1 SA bndl 32768 0x1 0x1 0x112 0x3D
Gi0/2 SA bndl 32768 0x1 0x1 0x113 0x3D
SW-2#show lacp neighbor
Flags: S - Device is requesting Slow LACPDUs
F - Device is requesting Fast LACPDUs
A - Device is in Active mode P - Device is in Passive mode
Channel group 1 neighbors
Partner's information:
LACP port Admin Oper Port Port

Gi0/1 SA 32768 3037.a6ca.aa80 10s 0x0 0x1 0x112 0x3D
Gi0/2 SA 32768 3037.a6ca.aa80 9s 0x0 0x1 0x113 0x3D
And, as before, CDP works fine:
SW-2#show cdp neighbor
Capability Codes: R - Router, T - Trans Bridge, B - Source Route Bridge
S - Switch, H - Host, I - IGMP, r - Repeater, P - Phone,
D - Remote, C - CVTA, M - Two-port Mac Relay
Device ID Local Intrfce Holdtme Capability Platform Port ID
SW-1 Gig 0/1 152 S I WS-C3560G Gig 0/1
SW-1 Gig 0/2 164 S I WS-C3560G Gig 0/2
Even UDLD is active and "sees" the device on the other end as if it were locally connected:
SW-1#show udld Gi0/1
Interface Gi0/1
Port enable administrative configuration setting: Enabled / in aggressive mode
Port enable operational state: Enabled / in aggressive mode
Current bidirectional state: Bidirectional
Current operational state: Advertisement - Single neighbor detected
Message interval: 7
Time out interval: 5
Entry 1
Expiration time: 44
Device ID: 1
Current neighbor state: Bidirectional
Device name: FOCABCD0123
Port ID: Gi0/1
Neighbor echo 1 device: FOCWXYZ9876
Neighbor echo 1 port: Gi0/1
Message interval: 15
Time out interval: 5
CDP Device name: SW-2
As a side note, a lot of Cisco kit only supports long LACP timers (90 second failure detection, as opposed to 3 seconds for short) so if you are in this boat then consider using UDLD when configuring bundles over indirect links. This should reduce detection time to 45 seconds, which is still a bit rubbish but better than 90. By default, error-disable recovery is not active for UDLD so once UDLD takes a link down, it stays down - so you probably want to switch recovery on:
SW-1(config)#errdisable recovery cause udld
Simulating Failures
One of the more common uses for a lab environment is to test failovers. One of the more common failure types to want to simulate is a link failure, however this is not quite as straightforward with a QinQ switch in the middle as taking one port down does not make the other go down, e.g.:
If you want to simulate pulling a link, I find the best way is to use an interface range command. Let's say we want to remove the link between FW1 and SW1, simply specify an interface range on the QinQ switch containing the switch ports facing each of those two devices and shut them down at the same time:
Lab-QinQ(config)#interface range fa0/14, fa0/21
.May 30 12:55:30 UTC: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/14, changed state to administratively down
.May 30 12:55:30 UTC: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/21, changed state to administratively down
.May 30 12:55:31 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/14, changed state to down
.May 30 12:55:31 UTC: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/21, changed state to down
The same technique can be used to simulate the failure of an entire cabinet or site, just select all the ports you need in a range and shut them down.
Another common test that you may want to perform is to simulate a "silent failure", i.e. where both ends see the link up but traffic is lost in the middle. This is good for checking how quickly and how well protocol heartbeats detect link problems (think LACP, UDLD, routing protocols, etc) and is definitely worth checking before you put services over carrier circuits or inter-DC links. To achieve this, simply set the provider VLAN on one of your ports to something unused:
Lab-QinQ(config)#interface fa0/14
Lab-QinQ(config-if-range)#switchport access vlan 2
The two ends of the link will remain up but no traffic will pass through.

In fall 2016, Hykes and an English teacher colleague, Judy Ellsesser, began teaching the material to students at South Webster Junior-Senior High, a school of 650 students in Scioto County. "During English class, Ellsesser worked through the text with the students, thinking critically about the information. Then with Hykes in history, the students learned more about the political side of the crisis and the policies affecting the epidemic; they also learned about how they could get involved. The math teacher, Matthew Whitt, was also involved. He helped students analyze and understand the statistical information in the book documenting opioid use and deaths," Black reports.
The teachers also brought in guest speakers such as a judge who spoke about the spike in foster care and babies born addicted, as well as current efforts to focus on rehabilitation instead of punishment for drug offenders. U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio talked to the kids about how politics and government affect the area's opioid epidemic, and encouraged students to speak up on issues to their representatives.
The students became heavily engaged in the project, creating public service announcements and volunteering at the local hospital to hold babies born with an addiction. The teachers report that the project was a success with high community support, and that they intend to teach it again. "It is real-life stuff that shows students how these things shape their life and how they can have a role in it," Hykes told Black.

Since 1989, Jordan has had a substantially higher percentage of people living in poverty than Minneapolis. The situation was different in 1979, when the neighborhood had 12 percent of its population living under the poverty level, compared to Minneapolis' 14 percent. By 1999, Jordan's percentage jumped to 29 percent, while Minneapolis' percentage increased to 17 percent. The percentage of people 65 years of age and over living below the poverty level in Jordan was slightly higher in 1999 than in 1979, and peaked in 1989. In Minneapolis the poverty rate for the elderly has decreased from 13 percent in 1979 to 11 percent in 1989 and 1999.
Jordan has a substantially higher poverty level than Minneapolis for both families and families with children. Between 1979 and 1999, the citywide poverty rate for families increased from 9 percent to 12 percent and the poverty rate for families with children increased from 16 percent to 19 percent. In this same time period, Jordan's poverty rate for families increased from 11 percent to 25 percent and the poverty rate for families with children increased from 17 percent to 30 percent.

Major Aussie Retailer Set To Refund $10 MILLION To Customers
Payday lender Cash Converters will refund customers millions of dollars in fees and an infringement notice after an official investigation by the ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission)
Reports say the ASIC was concerned that Cash Converters failed to make reasonable inquiries into consumers' income and expenses for about 118,000 small amount credit contracts or loans processed through its website. They loans they issued were "unsuitable"
(Image: Perth Now)
According to The ABC, Cash Converters has paid a total of $1.35 million for 30 infringement notices from ASIC and has also agreed to refund eligible consumers $10.8 million in fees through a remediation program overseen by an independent expert.
Consumers who had two or more small amount loans in the 90 days before taking out another small amount loan through Cash Converters' website during the period 1 July 2013 to 1 June 2016 will be contacted with information about their refund.
People are advised to lodge a complaint with the Credit and Investment Ombudsman if they believe they entered a loan contract with Cash Converters either in-store on online that was unsuitable.

How Early Can I Set Up a Buttercream Wedding Cake?
Q: What is the earliest time I can set up a wedding cake at a reception hall that is climate controlled? I am using buttercream and no fillings.
The reception starts at 5pm — is 10am setup too early?
Sent by JK
Editor: Readers, how long do you think buttercream can sit out and still be safe to eat? Any pro cake bakers among our readers ready to weigh in?

Okay, so here's a little example of the kind of chemical biology that I am not convinced has a point for biology, it seems much more self-serving for famous chemists to indulge their 'we made this complicated thing in an extremely complicated way' obsession.
On the one hand, I read this essay by Tom Muir, which is totally SPOT ON about the future of chemical biologists as functional members of the research society. He's been one of the pioneers of this new cross-branching, so it makes sense he would know what is going on.
Then there was this. Three papers came out in the recent issue of JACS, all from the same research group (very famous) and all in a row. They all seem to contain the same authors but in different orders, all full articles. They all focus on making various parts of a fully synthetic, homogenously glycosylated EPO. They use phrases like 'Our venture commenced with the preparation of' and 'Several strategies were entertained' and this doozy: 'difficultly predictable conformation' (emphasis mine to highlight the typical chemist way with words). They also spend valuable page space (and reader time) expounding on how they tried this or that method that didn't work but fortunately such and such other method did, and detailing every little aspect of every single specific reaction including rapidity of consumption of starting material, and how happy they were about that. It ends up sounding seriously medieval.
They try to lay it all out old-fashioned-style like this is some kind of hypothesis driven research into a general glycoprotein synthesis strategy that will somehow revolutionize the field of 'biologics,' rather than the ponderous, author-heavy, complex target-based total synthesis it actually is. Yes, maybe a homogenously glycosylated EPO would be useful for figuring out which glycoforms have particular biological effects. But these (not one, not two but three, count 'em) THREE papers don't clearly highlight any generality or modularity that could be used for any glycoprotein. Their side chains are covered with protecting groups. They don't demonstrate how you could easily clip on any homogenous carbohydrate modification to relevant sites. Nor do they describe some new jump in efficiency of synthesis, or a new exquisitely-selective and exciting reaction (they just use minor modifications of existing strategies). These are the kinds of things that would be necessary to address their proposed justification that these methods could revolutionize drug discovery for biologics.
They don't appear to have a biological collaborator who might be able to make sure they are pointed in a useful direction, and regardless of their repeated assertions that the biological impact of their project is so lofty, as a chemical bilologist, nascent cell physiologist and protein chemist, I'm just not seein' it. This looks more like a classic case of misguided synthetic hubris combined with author-laundering to maximize publication number. I understand that students and postdocs want to get their first-author paper on the thing they made, but it really dilutes the report of the research unnecessarily to split up a common project in this way. This could have been one paper simply and clearly showing the synthesis of the three segments and that's it. That's all that is here. Or better yet, wait until you actually MADE the full EPO and publish ONE paper on it. We don't need to hear the stream of consciousness/chronological story of your trevails. We just want to know if you did something important.
They say at the end of the final paper that they expect to be able to use their fragment condensation strategy with the understanding that "with all complex target oriented total synthesis, intervention of the unexpected is predictable. That being said, we are hopeful that the convergent nature of our synthesis and its flexibility will enable its adaptation to reach our goals." Good, I'm glad they are hopeful!! It's much better than being depressed about how your long, long, tenuously important project is not changing anything significant about protein chemistry!
This is the kind of thing that bothers me about the divide between old-school and new-school chemistry. Young chemists are being misled into thinking this kind of thing has impact. They are not looking at these problems with biologists asking them critical questions all along the way (nor asking those critical questions of themselves). Ultimately, they are wasting a lot of their time on directions that could be much better informed by understanding how and why things like this might be useful, and the real requirements for making them so. I just don't understand why people still keep doing stuff like this.

What's explosive about it:
Robust PvP system
Up to ten PvP modes
Dynamic Classes, Extensive Skills
Waren Story is a free to play 3D fantasy MMORPG featuring an epic adventure and intense PvP warfare, the game's imaginative scenery will sweep players away to an exotic medieval world. Players must choose the path of Warrior, Gunner, Archer, or Brawler and then explore the unique array of devastating skills each class has to offer.
Players prepare for battle through character customization options with a unique array of weapons and armor at their disposal. As these heroes traverse an endless series of monster-infested plains, they will face a menagerie of dangerous and fascinating creatures. However, the combat here is only the tip of a very long sword; the game's robust PvP system takes full advantage of its riveting animation, offering a variety of thrilling combat modes. In Waren Story, there's no such thing as the daily grind, each minute in each battle is an entirely new experience, as players battle equally skilled, and equally deadly, fellow players.
A variety of battlefields set the stage on which skilled gamers can vie for supremacy. An ultimate battlefield also awaits for the bravest and most daring, pitting teams of up to 100 players against each other in a titanic clash. But players must take heed, as dying there means forfeiting experience points to the killing player and possibly losing valuable items! The game also offers several methods of guild vs. guild conflict for large scale rivalries. Guilds may simply declare war upon each other and attack opposing players anywhere in the world, or enter the exciting Siege War mode for a more organized approach to wholesale slaughter. An invading guild must lay waste to a castle with weapons including catapults, cannons, ballistae, and of course, traditional PvP combat, while the defending guild must hold them off and protect their guild stone.
Waren Story system requirements:
RAM: ? GB | HDD: ? GB free space

agree , very agree
at start you must be level 1
at waren story you are level 30 from the start , have two guards , got a potions ( 1 mil HP )
each guard got a hp ( 100K )
monsters hits like 3k each this is the lowest monster level 30, 1Mil HP potion will gone by one hour playing , the game very very hard , right now they remove it , don't know the reason.
hahahaha this game going shutdown on 30 july hahahha
yes im self tested and this game rl crap
GMs Game (TurtleDragon and Monger) created a Guild (Kicked) and are playing cowardly against players, not letting anyone get anything.
This is absurd, we are being treated like idiots.
Do not waste time playing, this is a game that only Private GMs can be strong. Do not spend money on a game you will be stronger than ever.
I speak for many players that outraged by the situation.
Ps. Post this on all forums of games that I know of is on facebook.
i registed but i cant find the game why ??

Beyoncé has said that she cuts and styles her own hair.
The new mother revealed that she loves to play around with new looks, confessing that she has a particular fondness for experimenting with color.
"I like to experiment [with my hair]," Beyoncé told People. "I love playing around with highlights or bleaching the tips. I can cut and style my own hair."
However, she went on to say that she hopes to teach daughter Blue Ivy Carter to appreciate her inner beauty.
"My biggest thing is to teach [Blue] not to focus on the aesthetic," Beyoncé said. "It's really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful."
The singer recently admitted that she had her nails done before giving birth to Blue Ivy.
She is reportedly training five days a week to get back in shape.

Nakikiuso lang sa mga tao sa Twitter. LOL. (Inferverona, this became a trending topic on its first hour alone. Whuuut. SIYA NA.)
Anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
I was supposed to save this blog entry for next year kasi tinatamad ako kanina (joke lang). Pero naisip ko mawawalan pala ng sense yun kasi kailangan ko i-pokpok yung album niyo. Haha. But yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YAEL! (Kulit!) Because it's your birthday and because it's Thanksgiving in the US (chos!), and because this is MY space, I'd like to say ze following things about you:
(Prepare to be embarrassed. KIDDING.)
THIS GUY'S AMAZING! (Yehesss!)
Aside from being the vocalist of Sponge Cola and churning out epic and/or heartbreaking songs like there's no tomorrow, Yael is also a genuinely nice? interesting? fun? guy. Haha. We've been friends for 7? 8?
ang daming question marks? years and I only see him once a year (twice, max!) but I consider him one of my closest friends. Why?
1) Because we share the same sense of humor. Well, no, not really. Bordering on philosophical na minsan mga jokes niya eh, hahaha! We both like puns, though, and we're both sarcastic, I can tell you that. XD
2) Because he's the person I call whenever I need outside advice, especially about "boys" (kailangan yung quotation marks, promise). :))
3) Because he was there when I was sick. He was the second person I told about my diagnosis, but he was the first who stayed positive about it — telling me success stories of his family members and friends who went through the same thing, assuring me that I would come out successful as well. He was one of my cheerleaders, counting down the days to when I finally went into remission. "How are you? 3 more to go! EZ as PI!" He was there when I needed stupidity laughs, just because the sadness (and the drugs) were (possibly literally) killing me. He was there when I felt alone.
Okay, emo time over. WHEW.
4) Because he's one of my musical inspirations. #chenes!
5) Because he is a smart-ass and he doesn't tolerate stupidity. "Lawyered!"
6) Because he be my dorkiness buddy! He's the person I fangirl to about traveling or Disney stuff! He also fanboys over the dorkiest things — Lost (he went through a Boone hair phase), Miley Cyrus (wag mag-deny, don't tell a lie! HAHAHA!), and most recently, The Hunger Games.
SPEAKING OF THE HUNGER GAMES, do you already have a copy of their EP, District?
Kasi ako wala pa, hahaha! Well, you should! It contains 7 outstanding tracks. Watch out for the song Twelve, kasi, wala lang. It's awesome. If you like it, you should share it para it will CATCH. FIRE. LOL.
Click here to purchase the whole album online!
To those who don't believe in the album's epicness, here is proof:
Oh, yeah: 7) He watches New Girl and did a Schmidt in their new video! PARKOUR!
He and his band deserve all the recognition they're getting right now. Tibay nila, grabe. Buhay pa sila sa OPM apocalypse (OPM IS UNDEAD!). Hihi.
So there. Laking segue nun, I don't know how to end this now. LOL. I guess all there's left to say is THANKS FOR BEING AN AWESOME FRIEND, YAEL! Although I still kind of hate you for saying that Harry Potter isn't real literature, I will look past that because I know that deep inside you have taste, and that if you read the whole septology, you will fanboy about it too. (PINILIT TALAGA?! HAHA!)
I hope you're having an awesome day so far! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 😀

"If you haven't got all of your paper work right then you're going to be in last place. You have to be professionally organized to consider yourself what I call certified."
Check out the interview with Kflow exclusively on Skilly Magazine Online.
Skilly: How were you able to start your journey in the entertainment business? Where did this all start?
Kflow: It all started with 1 mic. I've always had a talent for music. My father loved music and the sound of instruments. I used to ride around with my mother listening to music all day. When I was with my big brother he did the same. I discovered I could rap when I was about 8 or 9 years old. When I got into my early teens it was on. I was doing shows at the age of 16, 17, and 18.
What are some of the creative ways you use to promote your music?
Since people don't buy CDs out of music stores anymore, I'm an online promoter.
What is the greatest challenge you face in today's entertainment business? How do you overcome them?
The game is changing a little. To me a lot of artists are not artists. Music is an art to me so I just don't think you should just be able to put anything out and call it music. To get heard you basically have to stay persistent. I use YouTube a lot because my fans get to get a visual.
How is the music scene like in your hometown? What do you like about it and what don't you like?
There's a lot of talent in my hometown, unfortunately we are still overlooked. My city is cool, but as far as support goes there are only a handful. I don't like how there is not much support, but quick to support outsiders. I look at Atlanta and notice how they back there artists and help them blow up. Now that's real.
Where do you think the future of music is going to be? How do you feel artists can be more a part of it?
I feel the future of music is going to be all over the internet. If you haven't got all of your paper work right then you're going to be in last place. You have to be professionally organized to consider yourself what I call certified. To be certified one must be able to look you up and pull up your work. That means your name as an artist must be legit.
What advice can you give to other upcoming artists and musicians trying to achieve success?
Don't let nobody steal your shine. Don't let nobody tell you that you don't have what it takes. Practice makes perfect, give it all you got and then some more. I have passed up a lot of artists that used to hate on me. I kept silent and kept working. Now I don't have to say a word. My music and skills speaks for itself. Put God first and stay prayed up.
What inspires you to write your next song?
My music mostly comes from emotions or from a peace of mind like life experience or a real life situation. I love to master a dope beat.
What are the steps you take to make a song?
To me every beat is naked. It's not complete until you dress it up. I always say lets put some clothes on her, lets dress her up real nice. So I sit, I vibe, then I zone out; after that the rest is just left for the making.
What do you think makes a great song?
True stories, deep passion, pain, hurt. That's what's going to always make a song to me.
Where can we connect with you? Can you give us your social media links and where we can contact you?

I recently returned from a kind of impromptu Disney trip. It was a quick weekend trip and we packed it full of Disney magic.
One of the best things about the trip: Pandora was open. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Pandora: the World of Avatar absolutely lives up to all the hype. Disney has been marketing this new attraction for months now and it is worth checking out. Even with the massive response and long wait times the newest addition to Animal Kingdom was truly the highlight of the trip.
My mom and I were staying at Kidani Village. Which was awesome, not just because it is an amazing resort but because it would be the shortest commute to Animal Kingdom. The morning of our Animal Kingdom day we got up early. The park was having extra magic hours that morning and resort guests would be able to enter at 8am. We were planning, like many other people, on opening the park and making a B-line for Pandora. We wanted to get on Flight of Passage before the line got to long. If you have read any articles about the opening week at Pandora this is the ride that had a seven hour wait the first day it opened. As much as I wanted to ride it, spending seven hours of precious park time in line was not something I was prepared to do.
Kidani Village recently started offering quick service breakfast at Sana, which was amazing for this weekend trip. The morning before my mom and I had sat down and had breakfast while we watched the various animals go about their day. It was a great way to start off a day. The morning we did Animal Kingdom we got there just after it opened, at 7am, and helped our selves to the oatmeal. It was great. They had lids for the containers and even had little containers with brown sugar and golden raisins for the oatmeal. We took our little containers of oatmeal to go and headed for the bus stop. We were lucky, and bust pulled up within minutes of us getting to the stop. We were the only ones on the bus and we headed strait for the park. I inhaled my breakfast, I wasn't sure if I would be able to bring it in to the park. But, my mom took her time.
Security had no problems with us bringing our breakfast in, which was awesome. In all of my trips to Disney this was only the second time I have been asked to show that I was staying at a resort on property in order to take advantage of the extra magic hours. It was great. I could even see that people were being turned away from the Pandora entrance because it was only open to Disney resort guests. We made our way to the end of the line for Flight of Passage. I feel that it is important to note that the extra magic hours had the park opening at 8am. We got in line at 7:45. The wait was already 90 minutes and the line was moving. They had already fired up the ride before the park was opened. My mom enjoyed her breakfast while I took pictures.
Overall the wait really wasn't that bad. We got to see all of Pandora with very few people walking around, well very few people since they were all in line with us. We talked with the people in line with us. And the different waiting rooms for the line were very well done with so much detail that it did take time to take it all in.
The ride itself was like nothing I have ever experienced before. It was intense and I really feel that it will changed the way theme park rides are designed in the future. Without giving away too much of the ride, it really does feel like you are riding on the back of a banshee. My legs needed a couple of minutes to adjust to walking when I got off the ride. It was worth the wait with out a doubt.
We decided that we had enough time to try out the other ride, Na'vi River Journey before getting lunch. While we were in line the wait time jumped from 40 minutes to 60 minutes. The que line didn't have as much to take in, so it felt like a longer wait. But, the water station halfway through the line was really nice. It held up the line a little since nearly everyone stopped to fill up their water bottles, but the wait didn't impact the time I got on the ride and I really appreciated being able to refill my water since it was so hot out. Overall, the ride was alright. Not really worth an hour wait, but I would ride it again if I didn't have to wait very long or had a fastpass.
The food was fantastic. I was very pleased to see that nearly everything on the menu was healthy. They have steamed buns with different fillings. They also had rice or salad bowls that you could top with different proteins and sauces. The flavor of the chicken and the onion aioli were just amazing. We got the children's size and it was enough to fill us up.
After lunch we explored the rest of the park. Which, was unusually empty since the vast majority of the park guests were at Pandora. We had almost no lines with anything we did. We even discovered dole whip in Africa! We were able to enjoy the park with little crowds and had a fantastic day.
Overall, the entire experience of Pandora was amazing. We weren't able to get back to the park to see it at night, but it will be a high priority on our next trip in October. I was blown away by the attention to detail Disney put in to all that is Pandora. It really looks and feels like you are there. The floating mountains are just spectacular and don't look like that are manmade structures at all. It all feels real. I look forward to what they will add to Pandora next.

we all knew it has been declared by the MK developers team that there will a PC version like
SFIV, but would like to discuss any updates on this how soon we will see a PC version of the game?
feedback appreciated.

feedback appreciated.
Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, but there will not be a PC version.
how you are so sure?
When was it declared that there would be a PC version?
Considering that there hasn't been a PC version of an MK game in some 13 years, I think it's a safe bet that they won't bother with one now either.
yeah but for the sake of discussion, I wonder what the PC specifications would be for a new MK game. Could my graphics card, computer speed, etc, be adequate?
Just curious.
I'm actually baffled to your claim that the MK team said there will be one when they've yet to even mention that fact. The only mention I've heard is that it's just a "possibility". In other words, WB probably doesn't see much profit in a PC version.
Last edited by DCR; 12-16-2010 at 05:14 PM.
Boon said that a PC version is a POSSIBILITY only because of the huge market of PC games in certain areas of Europe. I highly doubt this is going to come to fruition though.
yeah It will be great to see a PC version after the original release like success of SFIV franchise, Ed boons statement clearly shows that they are going for it otherwise they never said so.
I typically use a laptop opposed to a pc and don't own one because I am frequently on the go, not to mention I can always check the posts on here from anywhere. but I would actually support that. it would be cool to see what kinds of mods people will make for it. can you say nude patch? hehe....seriously though it would be cool
Pc Go To Hell =)
Since when did the Mortal Kombat team develop Street Fighter?
What the eff?
"Gears of War doesn't fit" my ass.
What said that? I was just referring dude
I remember someone asking Boony this on his twitter, and he posted a link to a picture with Pigs with Wings, so yeah, when pigs fly.
The problem is that I dont know what I want.
Its like pornography or the perfect turd;
I can't quite describe it, but Ill know it when I see it.

I want a PC version with better graphics, frame rate, xbox360 controller and better online mode! like street fighter IV

Case Study Three
Case Study Three: Orica – Nifty-Lift NL110DT Underground Charge Trucks
Orica approached Nifty-Lift as part of a program to 're-invent' the traditional underground mining explosives 'charge truck'. These machines are traditionally an imported, dedicated underground mining chassis, fitted with an aftermarket truck crane modified to act as an elevating work platform, to drill and pump explosives into the mine face. These machines were often one-off designs, high cost, and unsupported by a professional manufacturer.
Orica recognized the need for a better solution, with a machine design capable of meeting the stringent requirements of AS1418.10, and manufactured by an Australian company with a proven history of innovative designs and quality aftermarket support.
The Nifty-Lift NL110DT was designed by Nifty-Lift to suit the rugged mining application, and was selected by Orica for inclusion into the new 'charge truck' design. The Orica project has seen the use of a 4x4 truck chassis, rather than an imported mining chassis.
The expertise in both design and project management of the team at Nifty-Lift was quickly recognized by Orica, and the project scope increased to see Nifty-Lift not only supply the elevating work platform, but to project manage the entire build, from bare truck chassis to completion, including fitting the Orica UG2000 emulsion unit, and Sandvik fire suppression system to mining specifications.
