Craving for cakes? well, I can suggest you the Gingerbread Cake Recipe. Yes! i know its a ginger, but once you had taste it, you will take all the whole cake. Really! So, try and taste the delish taste of this cake.
Gingerbread Cake Recipe
I'm getting bigger and bigger but I don't get worried for it, at least before going to heaven, I had to taste all the delicious food over here on earth (just kidding), sorry. Anyway, this recipe that I am going to share for you today is Gingerbread Cake, haven't heard of it yet? Hmmm for me, in my first experience when my grandma cooked it, I thought it was a chocolate cake because it really looks like a chocolate cake, but after tasting it, wow what is this cake?! And my grandmas' laughing, and said, "well my dear, that is a ginger bread! "And I don't really like ginger, but then in this recipe my hate turns to love. It's really amazing and it was my first time that I ever love ginger, grandma shared her recipe and sometimes I cooked it for my kids and they so love it, and now, I want you also to experience this Gingerbread Cake. I hope you will like it, and so sure you will never ever regret of having it. Enjoy!
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- 3/4 tsp. of salt
- 3/4 tsp. of baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. of ginger (but you can add more)
- 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of boiling water
- 1/2 cup of shortening (or margarine)
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 piece of egg
- 1/2 cup of molasses
Prepare a greased square pan and set it aside while preparing the other procedures for baking.
And next thing to do is to Beat all this listed ingredients below:
- The 1/2 cup of shortening, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 piece of egg, and the 1/2 cup of molasses.
Be sure to beat them well.
And then you are going to add the:
- 1 1/2 cups of flour, 3/4 tsp. of salt, 3/4 tsp. of baking soda, 1/2 tsp. of ginger, 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon and a 1/2 cup of boiling water
Again beat them well and bake in greased square pan at 350 degrees F for just about 35-40 minutes or until the inserted knife turns out clean, which means the cake is not moisten.
And oppsss you can also serve it with an additional whipped cream or ice cream like with this Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe, I think it would be more enjoyable having those additional recipes. So, enjoy and have fun eating the Gingerbread Cake recipe and until next time for more recipe again guys!

It was 17-year-old Tayja Jones' first prom. The junior at Pottsgrove High School was excited to get all dressed up and have a magical night.
The funny thing is, at first, all of that did happen. Tayja felt beautiful in her dress.
When she stepped out with her date, her friends literally clapped and roared. Then she had a blast at the dance. It wasn't until she posted a photo online that her wonderful experience was undermined by bullies. After posting the proud photo, her friends called her the next morning. The photo had gone viral for a horrifying reason. The cyberbullies made fun of Tayja's weight, saying the dress wasn't made for someone her size.
The cruelty seemed unending. You'd think her dress was something strange or provocative, but Tayja looked pretty incredible, if you ask me.
"There were just like so many rude remarks and negative comments about how I looked. People I didn't know just like, 'That dress is not for her, she looks like a fat something,'" Tayja told Fox 29's Shawnette Wilson. "It was just really hurtful because I was so confident the day before and it just changed my view of myself."
Her spirit was beaten down. After an amazing night, it felt like she had remembered it all wrong: she wasn't beautiful, she didn't have a good time, it was all a lie. That's the power of bullying. However, as the negative comments began to pile up, so did the positive ones in Tayja's defense.
"We are all God's creatures perfect in his image. Shaming someone not only brings them down but brings yourself down with them. Spread love not discrimination," Tayja read one of the positive comments out loud.
While she is still unsure if she wants to attend next year's prom, the positive response is helping her heal. Please SHARE Tayja's story to take a stance against bullying and to let her know she looked beautiful that night!

Two brothers, Darlington Ani and Daniel Ani, were on Friday arraigned for allegedly assaulting a police officer.
Darlington, 28 and Daniel 21, are facing a-six-count charge bordering on assault and breach of peace before an Apapa Magistrates' Court in Lagos.
Prosecuting Inspector Tony Elibeh, said the accused committed the offences between April 21 and April 29, in Olodi-Apapa area of Lagos.
He said the accused assaulted a police officer by obstructing and resisting arrest and, thereby, perverting the course of justice.
"`The accused men, on the said date, did conspire to commit felony, to wit, assault and occasioning harm on one Mr Jude Nweka, thereby inflicting injuries on his head and face.
"The brothers did incite acts of violence, intimidate and cause a breach of the peace to the environment," he said.
He said when the case was reported to the police, the brothers refused to allow the security men carry out their duty but assaulted them instead.
The accused pleaded not guilty.
Chief Magistrate Titus Abolarinwa granted them N100,000 bail with one surety in the like sum.
He directed that one of the sureties must be a blood relation of the accused.
He added that they must present evidence of payment of two years' tax to the Lagos State Government.
He stressed that the sureties, whose addresses must be verified by the prosecution, must also present evidence of evidence of means to the court's registrar.
Abolarinwa, then, adjourned the case to May 18.

Vietnamerica: A Family's Journey by G.B. Tran
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I connected with Vietnamerica on a couple of levels, emotionally.
First, my earliest recall-able memories are from my time spent as a child in the Philippines, at Clark Air Force Base, 1973-75. Take a careful look at those years - yep, I was there when South Vietnam fell to the Vietminh. I clearly remember driving past the flight-line to go with my mother to the commissary for groceries and seeing a pair of Chinooks landing. One sported a big white square with a red cross emblazoned on it. I saw the troops getting off of the helicopter - some of their faces were covered with bandages, others were being carried on stretchers, several used crutches. I asked Mom what was wrong with these men. All I remember of her reply was something like "they're hurt, honey. They're going home." It wasn't long before we watched on TV as overloaded helicopters dropped civilians off onto U.S. ships before ditching in the ocean because there was no room to land on the ships anymore. Of course, it was all very exciting - I was five years old at the time and didn't really have a clue what was going on.
Second, as a graduate student, I had the good fortune of being a teaching assistant for Dr. Al McCoy, Professor of Southeast Asian History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!). I taught about 120 students in breakout sessions that were, students told me, the funnest part of the class. We had a great time with discussions that would probably be illegal post-911, like the exercise where I "armed" the students with 5; 500 lb HE bombs and a Piper Cub and had them plan how they would bring the city of Madison to its knees with only those five bombs. Yeah, I'd probably get arrested for teaching that now.
I'll be honest - my background in Southeast Asian history was extremely limited and my background in U.S. history was close to nil. But I did have a very good grasp on guerrilla warfare, insurgency, and counter-insurgency, especially in Africa (my MA was in African History), and a good grasp on the rise of nascent nationalism in the colonial state, so I got the gig with Al. I remember late nights furiously reading ahead of the students, brushing up on my own country's history, which I probably should have already known. Hey, it worked out okay.
But that lack of knowledge on US history was a bit of a shame to me. It still is, really. I had to work diligently to catch up and pass my students enough to be prepared for their inevitable questions. Thankfully Doctor McCoy was an excellent lecturer, possibly one of the best I've ever heard, and he did an outstanding job of covering those sections. He was always very understanding when I would come to him with dumb questions about U.S. history. In exchange, I supplied him with plenty of banter about our sometimes conflicting theories on insurgency and counter-insurgency, as well as a few shared anecdotes about the FBI, CIA (his realms of expertise) and the OSI (mine - but that's a story I can't tell you). All-in-all, it was wonderful.
That lack of knowledge of one's own history provides the driving force behind Vietnamerica, which is really a sort of confessional on the part of G.B. Tran. His parents - father and stepmother, actually, but that is an entire story within the story - fled Vietnam when Saigon fell, and he was born after they arrived in the U.S. When his grandfather and grandmother pass away, he reluctantly goes back to Vietnam with his parents, who haven't been there for 30 years.
This, I can relate to, in some smaller degree. As a military brat, I only saw my grandparents every couple of years or so. I never really knew my maternal grandfather as I would have liked, and only got to know my maternal grandmother when we lived with her for a year in 1979, when my dad was in cross-training and we couldn't live where he was at the time (though I suspect that Mom and Dad needed some time away from each other and were frankly in more debt than they cared to admit, so Mom and my brother and I stayed with Grandma - then again, I could just be inadvertently spreading false rumors). My paternal grandparents I got to know only when I moved out of my parents' place, while we were in England, and moved to Wyoming to live with them for a few months (an even longer story - you might read about it before I die, or not . . .).
Where I did not connect with Tran was with his resistance to wanting to go to Vietnam to connect with relatives he had never met. I've always been fiercely loyal about family, quirks, problems, dark closets, and all. I am very proud of my family name and my ancestry. People ask where "Aguirre" comes from and I have to respond "It's Basque". Some people have asked "You mean Spanish?". "No, I mean Basque. You never called Grandpa Spanish. He'd blow up your post office and police station if you did!" Then there's the inevitable "Do you speak Spanish?" No. I speak English, some German, and some Swahili. No Spanish. "Well you don't look Spanish." "That's because my dad was adopted." "That's sweet." "No, not really. Dad and my aunt, his twin, were both beaten black and blue and left for dead on the side of a highway in Wyoming by my biological Grandmother and her then boyfriend. Her husband was in prison at the time. My grandparents - MY Grandparents - picked my Dad and aunt up from the side of the road and took them into the police. Two weeks later, the state called them and explained that no one had claimed them and asked if they would like to adopt the twins. Grandma and Grandpa had been trying, unsuccessfully, to have children since their only child had died as an infant. So they adopted my father and my aunt. So, no it didn't start out sweet, but I guess it ended up that way."
These experiences of mine are what was evoked as I read Vietnamerica. It hit me on a deeply personal level. It will likely not have the same effect on you, though it might. If it does, I empathize, and I'm a touch sorry.
From a purely critical viewpoint, the book is a little emotionally distant, mainly because Tran himself is trying to put his parents' and his family's story at the forefront, rather than his own. It's a little difficult to connect with the author, to be honest, though he portrays his family history with honesty and sympathy. I just couldn't get into Tran's own head.
The artwork is merely good, but the cinematic structuring of the narrative is nearly perfect. Tran is a wonderful composer of the comic medium. The man should be writing storyboards for movies, then turning them into animated films. I bet he'd be fantastic at it.
The story of the structure itself is a little choppy and it's difficult to follow, at times. Be sure to refer to the illustrated family tree that Tran provides - it's a lifesaver when you're feeling a bit lost.
And we all need a lifesaver, from time to time. Or several live's savers. So many stories. So many lives. So many saviors. It's really a wonder that any of us are alive to tell our tales at all. It really is.

How do I sync WiFi Analyzer to my Blackberry Bold and Blackberry Playbook?
"Turns your android phone into a Wi-Fi analyzer!!
Shows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router."
Wifi Analyzer is an Android Operating System App. Blackberry have their own proprietary Operating Ssystem. So I am not certain what you are asking for ?
I have many Android applications on my Blackberry Bold as well as the Playbook. WiFi Analyzer is on the Bold and Playbook. In both cases there is an icon that says "Cancel Install" which I have not done. On both the Bold and Playbook when I click on the WiFi icons all I get is Tom's stuff at 4:29 including DD-Link, test-Link, Tom's, and Toopr-lo.
I want to know, how do I get my WiFi information specific to my system! I go to "settings" and it says on the right side: Device: not synced toa device yet" So what am I doing incorrectly?
.. from my understanding the Android Apps run in an emulator ? Maybe because it is a hardware specific App it needs to have direct hardware I/O ?
Probably best to contact the Creator of the App.....................
I have sent an email to the APP creator days ago and have not had a response and WiFi Analyzer still does not work.

Avant Reveals Why Reality TV Isn't in His Future
By// Souleo
In order to move forward R&B singer-songwriter, Avant had to go back to the sounds of Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds where he found inspiration for his latest album, Face the Music. "I sat back and paid attention to how their music made me feel," he says. "It made me feel special. I didn't feel angry or over aggressive like some of today's music. So I want to give that feeling back from the old school and bring it into a 2013 format."
In his efforts to update the classic sound of his musical influences, Avant reunited with his duet partner, Keke Wyatt on the passionate single, "You & I." Although he appeared on an episode of Wyatt's "R&B Divas" reality TV show, don't expect him to further pursue such opportunities. Avant prefers an element of mystery and is only willing to reveal his personal stories through his music. "I try to keep it as private as possible and they keep telling me to open up. But with artists back in the day you didn't always hear from them and it made you want to buy the record more. Now it's so personal and it's all about the image but I still wouldn't do a reality show."

After days in the hot city, being on the coast was a breath of fresh air. Literally! The breeze off the ocean felt amazing. The sand was soft and the waves were fun. Mrytle Beach is the perfect place for families of all types. Those who want dinning and shopping, and those who want wind and waves. So read on to get our tips to making sure you have a great time, and find out if it's Fun Adventure Family Approved.
Tip 1- Parking
Just south of the Board walk there is a paid parking area with gravel. The middle row says for parallel parking only. This is where we parked for over 8 hours. We paid for the full day which was $10 per car. It has perfect access to the beach and the boardwalk. It is so close that instead of packing a lunch you can just go back to the RV for lunch.
Tip 2- Ocean water heck for toddlers
Our Giggly Adventure Grace was a bit overwhelmed by the waves, but we figured out a new game plan for her. We dug a pool for her and made sand castle walls all around it so that way she could enjoy the water without the fear factor of the waves. It was also a great opportunity to examine shells. We made it looks like so much fun that even Silly Adventure Sam spent more time in our little kiddie pool than her did in the ocean.
Tip 3- Bring arrowroot or corn starch
Sand is… well… sandy. It sticks to everything and everyone and makes the beach wrap up quite uncomfortable. There weren't any showers at the beach entrance we were at. If you feel like walking just a little way down the boardwalk, there is a shower The showers are at the access points at 55th avenue north, 63rd to 67th avenue north, and 78th to 82nd avenue north.
Tip 4- The board walk is amazing
There are quite a few arcades to pick from. We spotted one that had air conditioning, so if you're visiting on a hot day make sure you hold out for the air conditioned one. We walked into the open air one and it was overwhelmingly hot! I couldn't believe how many kids were running around grinning ear to ear in there. I couldn't deal so I promptly turned around and walked out.
Tip 5- Ride the Sky Wheel
We wanted to do the Sky Wheel, but the line was so incredibly long. Now we know you can print tickets out beforehand and shorten the wait. Just visit www. Skywheel.com to get your tickets in advance. If we had known it was that easy we would have totally done it!
Tip 6- Stop by "The World's 2nd Friendliest Visitor Center"
If you see someone dressed up in a costume on the boardwalk get a super cool picture, but also talk with the folks inside. They are the ones who set you up with a time share presentation. We didn't know if we really wanted to get involved with that, but it turned out great! We got free tickets to Medieval Times! We were at the time share presentation for about 3 hours, but I'm not going to lie, we thoroughly enjoyed it! There was popcorn, coffee, and gourmet teas. The kids played in the children's room and there were TV monitors everywhere so you could keep an eye on them. I know that we had a good rep who was just fun and easy to talk with, so that makes a huge difference! If you're the kind of person who can have fun no matter where you are, definitely do this. After we left the presentation we drove straight to Medieval Times. Although we didn't love Medieval Times as much as the Pirate's Dinner Voyage, it was worth it for free. Of course, the reps will give you options to pick from all kinds of venues at Myrtle Beach!
Myrtle Beach is most definitely Fun Adventure Family Approved! It's the perfect combo of attractions, food, shopping, and nature. We all fell asleep with a smile on our faces that night.

9mm syntech flavors - which favorite?
reverse_edge replied to lfine's topic in CZI like Syntech 124's - Initially, that's all I could find as 150gr was OOS everywhere. My reloads are 125gr and these feel about the same, so that was a nice bonus. The "training match" ammo (its purple) is loaded to the same specs as their defensive ammo. So, steer clear of that unless you want REALLY snappy 180PF minor loads.
Best compact range bags?
reverse_edge replied to sstephns's topic in Gear & AccessoriesShooters connection bags are really nice. They make them in an assortment of sizes. I went with the big bag, as it has a removable inner bag. With this setup, I can put -ALL- of my range stuff in the big bag and keep everything in one place. For matches, I can take the inner out, load it with just the essentials (mags, ammo, towel, water, etc.) and cruise light.
I'm guessing because CZC takes whatever weight off, and people are left to chase the rest. I've heard CZC say they've chosen to do what they do for longevity, etc. There are just so many options out there that it's really easy to get lost in the sauce. Personally, I just threw some LW lok grips (in a custom thickness I wanted anyway) and a TTI basepad on and I was good to go with a DPP. Ain't that hard.
The front sight rollpin holds the barrel bushing in place. Don't want to lose that.
Solvent/oil suggestions
reverse_edge replied to nick779's topic in CZSlip 2000 is great. It's a bit thin, but they make thicker versions as well. I use TW25B grease. Stays where I want it.
Shadow 2 carry optics weight problem
reverse_edge replied to jeremy kemlo's topic in CZEvery little bit helps, and not all scales are accurate. What do those taylor extensions weigh? Are the lok grips the lightweight ones? My gun comes to 44.65 on one of my scales and 44.80 on another. (CZC Cuts, DPP w/ Shroud, LW Loks, TTI extensions)
Lok grip texture
reverse_edge replied to nick779's topic in CZOrder something more aggressive than you think you'd want ,and you can always file down any hot spots. Alternatively, if you find it's not aggressive enough, you can always add silicon carbide. Or do both and have pretty ugly but extremely functional grips.
You'll make weight with it on there, providing you don't have real heavy grips. It's cheap insurance to leave on there. If you're seeing the shroud while you're shooting, you're lookin at the wrong things.
No, and you'll save yourself 0.4oz while you're at it.
Pointing out a gun issue while ROing turns into a DQ situation
reverse_edge replied to CHA-LEE's topic in USPSA/IPSC RulesSimple. Finish the task at hand and then worry about it afterwards. ULSC as usual. Range is safe. Give time to the scorekeeper. All as normal. THEN, tell the shooter about the problem, and ADVISE them to check it out later AT THE SAFE TABLE.
reverse_edge replied to wingnut's topic in CZGlad I'm not alone. They just using softer material or what?
Need Coated 124's recommendation
reverse_edge replied to oteroman's topic in 9mm/38 CaliberWhile some may argue that it's less than ideal, they'll function fine. I promise many hundreds of thousands of .355 blue bullets have been shot from lots of CZ pistols.
CZ Shadow2 - IPSC Production - how to reach flatness
reverse_edge replied to xdf3's topic in CZAlso true, and I've seen plenty of people trying to push that gun down resulting in low hits, as well. I've tried springs lighter than 10lbs, and the slide feels too sluggish. Anything heavier than 11 seems to dip the muzzle too much for my liking. This is all with 124gr ammo about 133PF. Lighter projectiles will feel a little snappier, heavier projectiles feel a little slower. That said, I've recently learned how much the hammer spring plays a role in how the recoil feels. I can't tell a difference between 8.5# and 11.5# hammer springs when it comes to trigger feel, but the 8.5# hammer spring makes the slide feel like it comes back a lot harder. All of these changes (a pound or two here and there) are minuscule at best. That's why at the end of the day it comes down to gripping hard and watching the sights.
At this point, I'm impressed regardless of actual function.
Acoustical tiles behind the press. That's next level. Bravo.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mindis a 2004 American romantic fantasy film about an estranged couple who have each other erased from their memories, scripted by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry . The film uses elements of science fiction , psychological thriller , and nonlinear narration to explore the nature of memory and romantic love .It opened in North America on March 19, 2004, and grossed over US$ 70 million worldwide.
Kaufman and Gondry worked on the story with Pierre Bismuth , a French performance artist . The film stars an ensemble cast starring Jim Carrey , Kate Winslet , Kirsten Dunst , Mark Ruffalo , Tom Wilkinson , Elijah Wood , Jane Adams , and David Cross .
The title is taken from the poemEloisa to Abelardby Alexander Pope , the story of a tragic love affair, where forgetfulness became the heroine's only comfort:
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
The film was a critical and commercial success, developing a strong cult following and receiving a myriad of accolades, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay . The film was lauded by critics as one of the best and most thought-provokingfilms of 2004 .
Emotionally withdrawn Joel Barish ( Jim Carrey ) and unhinged free spirit Clementine Kruczynski ( Kate Winslet ) strike up a relationship on a Long Island Rail Road train from Montauk, New York . They are inexplicably drawn to each other, despite their radically different personalities.
Although they apparently do not realize it at the time, Joel and Clementine are in fact former lovers, now separated after having spent two years together. After a nasty fight, Clementine hired the New York City firm Lacuna, Inc. to erase all her memories of their relationship. (The term "lacuna" means a gap or missing part; for instance, lacunar amnesia is a gap in one's memory about a specific event.) Upon discovering this, Joel is devastated and decides to undergo the procedure himself, a process that takes place while he sleeps.
Much of the film takes place in Joel's mind . As his memories are erased, Joel finds himself revisiting them in reverse . Upon seeing happier times of his relationship with Clementine from earlier in their relationship, he struggles to preserve at least some memory of her and his love for her. Despite his efforts, the memories are slowly erased, with the last memory of Clementine telling him: "Meet me in Montauk".
In separate but related story arcs occurring during Joel's memory erasure, the employees of Lacuna are revealed to be more than peripheral characters. Patrick ( Elijah Wood ), one of the Lacuna technicians performing the erasure, is dating Clementine while viewing Joel's memories, and copying Joel's moves to seduce her. Mary ( Kirsten Dunst ), the Lacuna receptionist, turns out to have had an affair with Dr. Howard Mierzwiak ( Tom Wilkinson ), the married doctor who heads the company—a relationship which she agreed to have erased from her memory when it was discovered by his wife. Once Mary learns this, she quits her job and steals the company's records, then sends them out to all clients of the company.
Joel and Clementine come upon their Lacuna records shortly after re-encountering each other on the train. They react with shock and bewilderment, given that they have no clear memory of having known each other, let alone having had a relationship and having had their memories erased. Joel tries to convince Clementine that they can start over, but Clementine states that it could end the same way. Joel accepts this, and they decide to attempt a relationship anyway, starting their life together anew.

Purple Camel Sheffield - Help us create a Growing Garden to promote recovery journey from drug and alcohol misuse
A bit about us
Phoenix Futures is a leading charity for people with drug and alcohol problems throughout the UK. Offering a diverse range of specialist services across community, prison and residential settings, we help people with substance misuse issues change and rebuild their lives.
Phoenix Futures has been working with people with substance misuse issues for over 50 years, and last year we supported over 19,300 individuals. Our fundamental belief throughout has remained the same – that every person who is dependent on drugs and alcohol has the potential to rebuild their life. It is however only by focusing on an individual's wider recovery that lives can be rebuilt and individuals can stay on track.
Opened in 1984 the Sheffield Adult Residential Service is based in a large Victorian house with beautiful grounds in a leafy area of Sheffield, and provides a Therapeutic Community for up to 36 adults to support their recovery from substance misuse.
In addition to our core recovery services we also offer a number of personal development programmes that help service-users gain skills, confidence, motivation, employment and re-integrate into their communities. The longest running and most successful of these programmes is Recovery through Nature.
Recovery through Nature (RtN) is our pioneering, evidence based conservation therapy programme. RtN engages teams of service users in recovery in a range of practical conservation projects, and uses that experience to aid their rehabilitation and recovery.
What Service Users say about RtN:
Lane End Farm Trust is set on a working farm in the Peak District. They provide farm activities driven by the needs of young people including horse & carriage driving, animal care, conservation, horticulture, bush-craft and basic cooking skills to encourage personal development.
Their objective is to provide an environment where they offer alternative education and therapy through horticulture, rural studies and animal care to disadvantaged and/or disabled young people, including those with learning difficulties, behavioural, physical and/or mental health issues and those who have become disengaged from school, providing opportunities for them to learn new, and develop existing skills.
Their sustainable food cycle project, Down To Earth grows seasonal organic vegetables, keep hens for eggs and rear sheep and pigs to sell to local restaurants, cafes & grocers in the local communities that the young people live in. The opportunities provided gives students the chance to be involved in a real work environment and gain experience, empowerment, qualifications, and personal and social development.
Why we need your support
In these straightened times where there has been a steady reduction in funding available to substance misuse recovery services across the country, we have to come up with innovative ideas to be able to continue supporting service users in their recovery journey.
The benefits of using environmental conservation as therapy is widely evidenced, and we would like to expand on the work currently being done by staff and volunteers to help people in their recovery journey from drug and alcohol misuse.
The guiding ideas are oriented around growing as much of our own produce as possible in our gardens / allotments (to be used in our kitchens), developing a culture of recycling, being aware of, and reducing the way we use and save energy – heating, lighting, water and pollution awareness. In essence looking at the use of renewable resources across the spectrum.
Working in partnership with Lane End Farm Trust at the Sheffield Adult Residential is the logical way to bring our expertise together and develop the desired sustainable concept.
What we will do with the money raised
The money raised from your donations will be used to develop the existing 'Recovery garden' at Phoenix Futures (PF) into a kitchen/garden of raised growing beds. The intention is to create a vegetable and fruit growing garden that can supply seasonal organic produce for the kitchen at Storth Oaks, and provide food for people in the local community, working with the Lane End Farm Trusts' (LEFT) existing customer network.
In addition to the raised beds, we intend to have a poly-tunnel on site to extend the growing season and provide better growing conditions to produce a wider variety of produce for more months of the year.
The money from your support will be spent on the following:
Accessible paths around the garden - £2600
Shed / Benches / Greenhouse/ Poly Tunnel / Fire Pit - £1500
Fruit Trees / Shrubs / Wormery - £500
Tools / Skip - £900
Professional Labour Costs - £500
Impact of your funding
The recovery garden will give more individuals the space and opportunity to progress their recovery from substance misuse, with service users from both PF and LEFT having access to working in the garden across all stages of the growing season.
LEFT trained staff with horticulture and therapeutic horticulture experience will provide guidance and training for service users which will be paid for specifically from Purple Camel project funds. As the project develops we intend to provide qualifications for service users who wish to engage in that part of the program. Other users may simply benefit from the chance to be involved in a real work environment and gain empowerment through the therapeutic benefits of horticulture, contributing to their recovery journey.
The benefits to the wider community, including local residents, volunteers and support workers, is access to high quality ethically produced food at fair prices that is grown and harvested by our service users. This ultimately improves community cohesion through inclusive outreach across the local area.
What next
Be part of the drive to help people recover from substance misuse and bring ethically produced fruit and veg to our local community in Sheffield. Support, pledge and get involved in our project and its funding to enable us achieve our aims and continue to change lives.
If you're not able to contribute but like what we're doing, get the word out! Shout about us on twitter (PhoenixFutures1) and Facebook (Phoenix Futures), WhatsApp it to your friends, email it to your colleagues and talk about it your family. And feel free to get in touch or just encourage us!

After much thought and consideration, we (me and the medical professional previously willing to look further into the date) decided that tackling the recent Gates Media article was something bigger than a trite blog analysis could offer.
This doesn't mean that Welcome Mama refuses to support families who experience loss, even if/when it involves the midwifery model of care.
This doesn't mean that resources for bereavement families aren't included on the site. (They have been since it's inception in May of 2017, compiled by a local doula who shared them with me, in hopes of making the information easily accessible to local families). This doesn't mean that I don't support bereavement doulas. (There's an update coming with a list of those doulas).
This just means that I'm no longer helping the conversation by being part of it. And I have been part of it for going on 2 years.
I appreciate your encouragement and support in how this was handled last week. I also appreciate the dissent, allowing me to evaluate my own actions. At the end of the day, I can tell you that I did the best I could. This wasn't good enough for everyone and I'm okay with that.
I still welcome any woman who experienced loss to share their story here, as I always have. That will not change. But I cannot participate in anything that would make me liable. Remember, this is a free site, one I currently do because I want to.
I encourage anyone who would like to continue the conversation locally to head over to out ImprovingBirth.org - Buffalo, NY page, where we have 4 different women, from different backgrounds and perspectives administrating the page.
Our family continues to pray for our local families, hoping that they may find peace some day.
December 03rd, 2018
Our conversation from last week should have included this NY Times article. Like I said to a friend this weekend, our national or local conversation on this topic has many moving parts. But the one that matters most to me personally is supporting informed choice.
(P.S. We have a local medical and birth professional looking at the article that caused a stir last week. I'm hoping that she will be able to analyze the data and bring us a more objective look at the safety of out of hospital birth)
Please just remember that this site and page are for entertainment purposes. I'm not a doctor, midwife, or even a birth professional. I'm just a mom running a free website for families who want and need holistic information that is otherwise difficult to find.
You should always make informed medical decisions with your doctor or midwife. And if you don't like their opinions, feel the drive and urgency to find another provider. Please.

"Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better."

The next most likely place to meet your match is the place where you regularly hang out. However, if your idea of socializing is hanging out at the local pub or bar with a couple of buddies, choices are pretty much limited and you'd be competing with all the guys for the limited number of girls.
The bar is not exactly the best place to get to know a girl. Here's some reason why ... It doesn't take a genius to deduce that half of the bar patrons are usually roaring drunk. And it is also a known fact that the highest quality people don't frequent bars regularly. Even if you are not roaring drunk, you can hardly hear yourself let alone see clearly in a bar with the loud music and barely there lights.
What is illustrated above is a very common scenario for the thirty something who is still single and available. This group forms the biggest group in the single and available population. They are financially stable, with a career that is definitely going places. In fact, about the only thing lacking in their life is having that special someone to share their success with. Are you also part of this group? If so, where does that leave you?
Time and NOT money is the biggest constraint for this group? How do you solve this problem? Money may be able to buy you many things but certainly not time. Does this mean that all is lost for the thirty something singles? Destined to live their final days in solitary?
Fortunately not! Thanks to some savvy business minded people, what was once a problem is now a commercially viable business. As a matter of fact, it is a booming business for some. It all started with a simple idea of pooling together all the singles people and match make them based on the information garnered from them or post their information and let other members who have interest look them up. Another way of looking at it is as an avenue for singles to advertise their availability and an avenue for them to response to the advertisements posted.
If you dwell on the nature of this business, it actually creates a win-win situation; the singles get a date for a fee and the business makes a profit from their fee. The best part of this solution is, you are not constraint by time. The service is there 24/7, 365 a year. All you have to do is signed up with an online dating agency, post some background information about yourself and also some basic qualities that you look for in a partner and bingo? you'll be served with a list of singles that match your wish list.
Piece of cake, huh ? Think about it, you don't have the time? Here is a solution that has no time constraints. You do this at your own time and pace; whenever you are free and wherever you are as long as you have connection to the Internet and a notebook. Take a look at Try Online Dating to learn more about my own experience.

Koogmo #9
Zine, Anthony Abelaye, Issue 9, PO Box, 861294, Plano, TX 75086, USA, $1
Funny, quirky, or strange – those are the attributes that tie the stories in this collection together, at least judging by the submission guidelines on the last page. I wish I had read that page first, because not knowing made this collection of random factoids, crackpot philosophy, prison letters, and other snapshots of life not just hard to make sense of, but downright depressing!
A heartfelt intro confirms that Abelaye indeed worried this assemblage was "too random." Said intro was written on a typewriter he found on the ground in 1993, and judging by the ink flow it is either poorly calibrated or recently had its ribbon changed. Why is this important? Well, it gives this zine that 1990s feel — it's like a relic from a time when zines generally fell into three or four categories: fanzines (interviews and reviews), perzines (creative nonfiction), tribute zines (zines about specific bands), and everything else — those rare zines that just seemed to be about ANYTHING. Koogmo takes me back to that last, most random, occasionally troubling kind of zine; a zine that is like stumbling over a letter you're not supposed to see or intercepting a recording that is disturbing out of context. Thrill-seekers should order and weirdos should contribute. (Chris Landry)

Napa and Sonoma Are Alive With Tourism
The post-fire spirit is robust for parks, attractions, and new businesses.
Robert Ferguson Observatory
Photo by Diane Askew
As the Wine Country recovers from the fires that ravaged mountainous areas and leveled neighborhoods last fall, local tourism promoters face a dilemma. Is it better to prepare visitors for shocking views of charred land and freestanding chimneys, or is it smarter to spread the word that the area is still beautiful and open for business?
Both perspectives are accurate. In most Napa and Sonoma Valley towns, you won't glimpse any evidence of the fires, and it will be hard to imagine that a tragedy recently occurred.
Meadows have turned bright green. Plants are regenerating like crazy. And perhaps more wildflowers than ever are blooming. Because the fires cleared away considerable undergrowth, sunlight has reached the soil and stimulated new life.
But if you drive 15 minutes from Santa Rosa up to the Mayacamas Mountains to see exotic animals at Safari West, you'll pass empty lots where houses used to be. One Safari West guide lived on the property's border, and his home burned to its foundation. Ten other employees also lost homes.
By now, the burned-out cars and piles of rubble have largely been removed. Nevertheless, "The drive up can be upsetting," said staff member Jared Paddock. "That was a big concern of ours when we were getting ready to reopen." Safari West opted for transparency, warning visitors about what to expect near the property.
It seems miraculous that although fire surrounded the 400-acre wildlife preserve, Safari West was largely unaffected. The first night, owner Peter Lang controlled spot fires with a garden hose. Not one animal died or even panicked. The camping facilities suffered smoke damage, some fence posts and two field trip vehicles burned, and a laboratory was destroyed, but that was about it.
With fences repaired, the camping facilities restored, and the vehicles replaced, Safari West is back to business as usual, with visitors being driven around the property to spot giraffes, cheetahs, rhinos, flamingoes, and more.
Having repaired its water system, fences, and trails, Calistoga's Petrified Forest has just reopened, enabling guests to see fossilized redwood trees, which turned to stone after a volcanic explosion buried them in ashes 3.4 million years ago.
Last fall's firestorm couldn't damage those stones but did kill some surrounding trees and plants. This made the place less scenic but had unexpected benefits; by burning the vegetation, the fire exposed more petrified wood, now conveniently visible from existing trails, and the ruins of two Civil War-era houses.
About 90 percent of the fires occurred in the mountains, particularly wreaking havoc on Sonoma County parks. Fire swept through Windsor's Shiloh Ranch Regional Park, Santa Rosa's Trione-Annadel State Park and Hood Mountain Regional Park, and Glen Ellen's Sonoma Valley Regional Park and Jack London State Historic Park. Ninety-five percent of Kenwood's Sugarloaf Ridge State Park burned. Several employees were living there in century-old houses that are now gone.
But many trails at these parks have reopened. And there was one thrilling outcome at Sugarloaf. For a few agonizing weeks, it was widely believed that the fire had destroyed Sugarloaf's Robert Ferguson Observatory, but it turned out to be fully intact. Smoke and ash penetrated the interior, which has since been cleaned. The telescopes that were evacuated have been reinstalled, recalibrated, and tested.

Out of the ashes, much has risen. New Wine Country restaurants include Santa Rosa's farm-to-table Perch and Plow; Napa's gourmet Compline; Healdsburg's casual, global-street-food-inspired Duke's Common; and Kenwood's scenic Salt & Stone.
Set for May 19, Santa Rosa's 124-year-old Luther Burbank Rose Parade and Festival had a new theme that expressed the region's post-fire spirit: Together We Rose.

Nominating Ballot Details
(Redirected from Nominating-ballot-details)Jump to navigation Jump to search
The discussion, below, follows from the Hugo rules.
Once the nominating ballots have been collected, the Hugo administrator (helped by the Hugo subcommittee, if there is one) counts the nominations to determine a preliminary final ballot. There will typically be a very large number of entities nominated in each category, and some of them will be ineligible altogether, and some will be nominated in the wrong category.
- Count the ballots assuming that every nomination is valid. For each category, make a list of the top fifteen or so nominees with their counts.
- For each entity in the top fifteen, look at other categories and see if that entity received any nominations in that category. If so, add all nominations received in any category to the category in which they got the most nominations.
- Do a scan for entities which were not in the top fifteen in any category, but which got enough nominations scattered over multiple categories to make the top fifteen. (This normally happens only in the written fiction categories where there is real confusion over wordcount.)
- In the Dramatic Presentation categories, look to see if any series received votes as a series while also having individual episodes nominated. The Hugo administrator must decide on one or the other, since it can't appear on the final ballot as both. See series versus episode for details. Move the votes to whichever category is decided on.
- Taking each category in turn, validate the presumed nominees starting with the top vote-getter:
# Confirm that it is the right kind of entity to appear in the category. (Make sure it meets the category criteria in the Hugo Rules.) # Confirm that if it is a work, it was published or appeared in the proper year. # Confirm that if it is a person, they did qualifying work in the proper year. # If any votes for the presumed nominee were transferred from another, incorrect, category, confirm that the transfer of those votes was permitted. (A transfer should not result in a voter nominating something twice.)
- Repeat this process until there are five nominees in the category. Note:
# Ties can add additional nominees beyond the standard five. # There is a test specified in the Hugo rules in section 3.8.5 which may result in fewer than five nominees in a category. Perform it.
- Continue on and validate any potential nominees which just miss last place. Look carefully in other categories for misplaced votes for them, and if found, re-evaluate the list of nominees.
- Once there is a presumptive list, contact each nominee in turn and ask if they wish to accept or reject the nomination. The presumption is that the nomination is accepted -- a rejection must be explicit, and if the nominee can't be reached by "reasonable efforts" (which does not mean heroic efforts!), then the nomination stays.
- Preserve the data from this process and prepare the required data for inclusion in the Hugo voting report which is released after the Hugo Awards have been presented. This report and everything except the identity of any nominees who refused nomination is secret and known only to the Hugo subcommittee until after the Hugos are awarded at the Worldcon.
- Create the final ballot and the voting website and release the results!

QH Gelding for Partial Lease
Ace is a 13 year old QH gelding. He's about 14.3 hh, but he has a stocky build. He does best in the arena, but I also take him on trails. He needs an intermediate-advanced rider because he is naturally a more nervous/spooky horse. He is really fun to ride though and will always try his hardest. On site lease only.

First of all, what is a bit (short for binary digit)? You can think of it as an atom which can be used to build information. In fact, a bit has only two unique states: zero or one. Sometimes you can find another definition like "yes/no", "on/off" or "true/false". But, all this stuff boils down to the same thing.
To represent more meaningful information other than zero or one we need a
bunch of bits that can be grouped together. For example, eight bits are able to produce 256 (2^8) unique numbers:
11110100 = 244 or 10000100 = 132
Conversion to base 10 and vice versa
To convert a binary number to base 10 you can use a very simple method which multiplies bits in respective positions with 2 to the power of their position. For example, binary number 10000110 can be converted as follows:
10000110 = 1 * 2^7 + 0 * 2^6 + 0 * 2^5 + 0 * 2^4 + 0 * 2^3 + 1 * 2^2 + 1 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0 = 134
A repeated division and reminder can be used to convert decimal to binary number. The method contains four steps:
- Divide the decimal by two.
- Append the reminder as the most significant bit.
- Go to step 1 if decimal number is greater than zero, otherwise go to 4.
- End.
134 / 2 = 67 reminder 0 67 / 2 = 33 reminder 1 33 / 2 = 16 reminder 1 16 / 2 = 8 reminder 0 8 / 2 = 4 reminder 0 4 / 2 = 2 reminder 0 2 / 2 = 1 reminder 0 1 / 2 = 1/2 reminder 1
Up to now we have been talking about only integer numbers. So, what can we do to convert the fractional part of the number to binary representation? The fractional part of the binary number works on the same principle as the fractional part in base 10. In base 10 all numbers followed the decimal point are multiplied by 10 to the negative power of the number's position. For instance:
123.456 = 1 * 10^2 + 2 * 10^1 + 3 * 10^0 + 4 * 10^-1 + 5 * 10^-2 + 6 * 10^-3
So we can use the same principle to convert 2.75 to the binary number:
10.11 = 1 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0 + 1 * 2^-1 + 1 * 2^-2
Bitwise Operations
Basically, it's not good idea to use bitwise operations in routine applications because it makes code less readable and clear. But, in case if memory consumption and speed matters you can consider this as an optimization.
Another application of bitwise operations are graphics, encryption and compression.
Btw, here goes my utility class for bit manipulations: https://github.com/alexvolov/algorithms-and-data-structures/blob/master/src/main/java/com/alexvolov/ads/common/BitManipulation.java
The unary bitwise complement operator "~" inverts a bit pattern, making every "0" a "1" and every "1" a "0". For instance:
~10101011 = 01010100
The AND operator works just like multiplication and it also known as logical conjunction. It outputs 1 only if all inputs are 1.
The OR operator outputs 1 if at least one input is 1. This is why it's also known as logical disjunction operator.
The XOR operator or exclusive disjunction outputs 1 only if both inputs don't match. Actually it's the same as adding modulo 2.
Some properties of XOR operation:
The bitwise left shift operator moves all bits in the given number to the left and inserts 0 to vacated bit positions.
For instance, we can perform a left shift by 2 bits:
10010101 << 2 = 01010100
Shifting a number to the left by n bits has the effect of multiplying it by 2^n.
Likewise, the bitwise right shift operator moves all bits of the given number to the right.
10010101 >>> 2 = 00100101
Moving bits to the right is equivalent of dividing the number by 2^n.
In other words, bitwise shifting is an efficient way of performing multiplication or division by powers of two.
Two's complement
Two's complement is just a good and convenient way to represent negative numbers in base 2. If you are a Java developer you probably know that Integer values in java has 32 bits length. The leftmost bit is used for sign (in some sources it's called the sign bit). In case the number is negative the sign bit will be equal to 1, otherwise to 0. Unfortunately we can't simply toggle the sign bit to make a number positive or negative because in this case we will have two zero's. One negative zero and one positive zero which is not possible in math.
To solve this problem with zero's we can use two's complement. For instance, let's say we have 8 bits word and we want to represent a negative five.
The positive five in binary will look like this:
Please note that the left most bit is sign bit. To convert it to negative we need to do two things:
That's all. Now try to convert zero using the above algorithm and result will always be zero. Fascinating, wright?
Moreover, in case if you need to convert the negative five to positive five you can use the same algorithm.
Intro to IEEE 754
IEEE standard for floating point computations was established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1985.
A real number N can be represented as follows:
N = a * q^n
Where a is significand, q is a base and n is an exponent. As a result, the same number can be represented in many ways. For example, number 120:
120 = 120 * 10^0 120 = 12 * 10^1 120 = 1.2 * 10^2 ...
All these representations are absolutely correct. But, to reduce the number of the representations to one a normalised notation is used. In this notation significand is always greater or equal to 1 and less than the base. In the above example the only normalised notation for 120 will be 1.2 * 10^2 because 1 <= 1.2 < 10.
Now let's try to represent a binary number in normalised form. For instance, number 01111011 will look like 1.111011 * 2^6 and it might be represented in IEEE format in following way:
As you can see there are 32 bits in total. The most significant bit is reserved for sign. The sign bit is set to zero if number is positive, otherwise to 1.
Eight bits are allocated for exponent. But, it's not that simple. Instead of using two's complement it was decided to add 127 to the exponent and store it as unsigned number. If the stored value is greater than the bias, that means the value of the exponent is positive, if it's lower than the bias, it's negative, if it's equal, it's zero. In my example the exponent is equal to 10000101 = 01111111 + 110.
The rest of the bits are reserved for fractional part of mantissa. In other words, the integral part of the mantissa almost always (except zero) equals to 1 and we don't need to store it.
Please note that in my post I described 32 bit IEEE 754 which is equivalent to float in Java. But, there is 64 bit IEEE 754 that is known as double in Java.

MARINO MARINI, Caffettiera Twist, 1961Posted: May 29, 2009 Filed under: 60s, Italy, Twist Records | Tags: Bella Italia, Caffettiera, Dino Risi, Il Sorpasso, O kyrios Pterarhos, Randy Randolph, Thanos Souyioul, The Twist, Vittorio Gassman 4 Comments
My girlfriend gave me this record for my birthday 10 years ago when I was obsessed with collecting the Twist. She had actually made a trip to a specialist record shop and asked for a Twist record.
Caffeteria Twist is a cover-version of Randy Randolph´s 1958 saxophone-instrumental hit record Percolator. The b-side Mille Luci is my favourite song of all of these songs. I know I´ll be pretty alone with that feeling because it is also the least rockin´one but that song makes me dream of scooters, ice-cream parlors and everything 60´s in Bella Italia…
MARINO MARINI, Caffettiera Twist, 1961
MARINO MARINI, Mille Luci, 1961
In his comment below Ilias just sent these links to some beautiful clips from European films that feature the Twist. The first one is from the Italian film Il Sorpasso directed by Dino Risi starring Vittorio Gassman:
This one is from the Greek film O kyrios Pterarhos (Mr Wing-commander) from 1963. The guy dressed in the Greek Air Force uniform who is dancing with the charming lady is Thanos Souyioul (son of the very famous Greek songwriter Mihalis Souyioul) who died very untimely few years later in a car accident.
Great choices! Thanks a lot Ilias!

You have donated us an indescribably beautiful 3-week party with the '60s dance crazes, dear Andreas! (I wonder if some day could be organized a great international party with these dances in Berlin or elsewhere, by the fans of this blog… It would be terrific!)
Moreover, I'd like to encourage you so as not to feel alone about fancying "Mille Luci", because I also enjoyed it very, very much; and in order to make your nostalgic feelings about Italy in the '60s, a little more "tangible", I'm offering you this extract: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXGCFubjjww from my beloved film "Il sorpasso" with the excellent Vittorio Gassman!
In addition, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xde2ZHIGkD4&feature=channel is a sample of how the Greeks did the Twist…
I have so enjoyed your today's posts, especially the twists featured with orchestras, like Adam Ross' "20th Century Rockin' Room Twist", which is implying a melody by Paderewski (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hK3XoVdO-8&feature=related)!
I feel sorry that this marvelous dance party is over, but I'm hopping that we'll have the opportunity to "savour" some "mouthfuls" of these dances here and there, in the future…!
Best regards!
PS: Viel Spaß und viel Erfolg bei eurem Auktion-Destruktion!!!
The original "Percolator Twist" was in 1962 by Billy Joe & The Checkmates on Dore (US). There were also US cover versions on other labels (including Mercury-Philips). It was based on an instrumental TV commercial jingle for Maxwell House Coffee.
The Italian vocal version is really good.
The video clips are priceless, although the dancers are much calmer than those in the US.
Now, if you could find some of those crazy US films with wild dancers kneeling, jumping up, and doing back flips…
Did anyone ever work out what the music is on the Greek "Let's Go Twist" clip? This is driving me crazy! I have the same jukebox and I would love to find this record.

5. Casino Royale: James Bond vs Various Goons
James Bond has always had some impressive fights scenes, but Casino Royale was the gritty "reboot" after the silliness of the Pierce Brosnan years, and the fight scenes are fittingly visceral. The staircase fight isn't the most elaborate fight in 007 history – it's not on top of a moving train or underwater or anything fun like that. But it's brutal, it's fast-moving and features some great acting by Daniel Craig as he mercilessly strangles "Generic Goon #2". One of many moments in the film where it was clear just how un-touchy-feely this Bond was.
It's another fight where the hero is outnumbered but still manages to triumph, and there's a woman who only stands around looking helpless half the time rather than the whole time. She even joins in towards the end.
4. Shaun of the Dead: Survivors vs John
And now for something completely different…. This fight warrants a mention not because of its elegance or brutality, but because of its comedy brilliance. To the opening strains of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" ("toniiight I'm gonna have myself a real good time…."), our heroes stand poised with pool cues as zombie pub landlord John stumbles towards them. As the music kicks in, they start battering the old man with the cues in time to the music.
There is something just genius about an old zombie man being beaten up to the accompaniment of Freddie Mercury's enthusiastic vocals. Top moment comes when heroine Liz batters him with a fire extinguisher on the line "Woah woah woah woah woah explode!" before unleashing a barrage of CO2 in his face. Definitely the best comedy British zombie fight scene ever.
3. Kill Bill Vol 1: The Bride vs The Crazy 88
If other fights seem difficult to win, try being Uma Thurman as she takes on 88 masked psychopaths. Still only recently revived from a coma, she somehow manages to take them all on and win. There is swordfighting, ninja skills, removing appendages with one swift grab, and a few handily-placed axes. And one comedy moment, where a not-so-crazy 88er looks scared and backs away, only to receive a merciful fling into a nearby pool instead of death.
Unusually for Tarantino, it's not all soundtracked – the first few minutes you can hear nothing but the swishing of sounds and cries of pain. Not unusually for Tarantino, it's absolutely soaked in blood and gore – not one for watching in front of your 4-year-old (and I speak from experience). There are two versions of this scene floating about – one in full color and the other fading from black and white to color. Both are pretty cool.
2. Enter the Dragon:Lee vs Han
Another seminal fighting-based movie, with marital arts taking center stage in Bruce Lee's final film (released posthumously). The ending is particularly classic, with Bruce taking on the villain in a hall of mirrors, being swiped at from every angle by a bladed hand. Lee's character (also called Lee) is disorientated at first and then smashes the mirrors and impales Han on his own spear. It's just an example of a master at work, with every move precise and targeted. Unlike some of the modern action sequences, it's not about effects and showy moves, it's just lightning-quick skill. All the more poignant for being so soon before his death.
1. Fight Club: "Jack" vs himself
But for the ultimate fighting movie, where there is fight scene upon fight scene you can't get better than 1999's Fight Club. Superficially about men beating each other up, it carried a much deeper meaning and a clever plot twist at the end that skewed the rest of the film. It's tough to choose one fight scene from such a violence-ridden film but for sheer originality, the prize has to go to Edward Norton for beating himself up in front of his boss, when his boss is trying to fire him. Not only is it surreal and unusual, it's also incredibly brutal – Edward Norton's unnamed character (often referred to as "Jack") shows himself no mercy as he smashes himself through glass shelves and tables, all the time begging for mercy from his bewildered looking manager. A modern classic.
