Woot!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.imore.com/images/stories/2011/01/logo-handbrake.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.imore.com/images/stories/2011/01/logo-handbrake.png" /></a></div><br />
Hey everyone, ever downloaded a bunch of movies or videos and realized they were all in MKV format? Then found out there are NO free video convertors that work well or fully convert your files without sticking in a stupid "Converted with ****" somewhere in the video (or so you think)? Well fear not! The kind folks at Handbrake have developed an Opensource video convertor for Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, Fedora, and even command line! It's simple, easy to use, and chock full of helpful features! Best of all it's a FREE VIDEO CONVERTOR!!! No need to pay or subscribe for the software because it's open source :) <br />
<br />
Download link is here: <br />
<a href="http://adf.ly/4sJ4a" target="_blank">Handbrake Video Converter</a><br />
(Hit the Skip Add button at the top right hand corner to get to the download)<br />
<br />
Feel free to do some extra research upon Handbrake if you're feeling suspicious or paranoid :P I guarantee, it's a completely free video convertor :)<br />
<br />
Just download and install.<br />
<br />
<b><u>How to Use:</u></b><br />
First, click "Source" and select the files (or folder) that you wish to convert. The "source" is where Handbrake will look for the video file to convert. <br />
Next, open the "title" drop down box to select the specific video you wish to convert (assuming you selected a folder as the source). If the source is a single file, skip this step.<br />
Then check the Audio tab and choose "add all tracks" to get all the audio options on the file. You can also customize the audio files on the video in that tab as well.<br />
Afterwards, check the subtitles tab if you want to add subtitles, (the file may or may not have subtitles to add). This step is optional. <br />
Lastly, hit "Start" to start the conversion :)<br />
(You can queue up multiple videos to be converted by "add to queue")<br />
<br />
Have fun converting your videos! <br />

<br />
With all this buzz about "2012" and the "End of the World" on 12/21/12 going around, I decided to throw my two cents in. <br />
It's not gonna happen. <br />
It's the end of a calendar, so what? Just because it's the end of an ancient calendar doesn't mean that it's the end of the world nor the apocalypse. The Mayans could have intended to establish a new calendar right after the old one ends. Also, how many times has the world lived through such apocalyptic threats? Remember the Y2K thing? With all technology on Earth being screwed over? Just because it shows the year "2000" on our calendar, does not necessarily mean it's really the year 2000. It's only the year 2000 according to our calendar, which isn't necessarily correct depending on what marks the beginning of the calendar. And the Y2K scare never happened. <br />
Then there's the "Planets Aligning" ooooh~ scary, that happened in March 1982 and was warned by some to cause the apocalypse. Hey we're alive. Cool story bro. <br />
<br />
In any event, I highly doubt that the world will end on 12/21/12 but I'm still sure as hell excited to witness that day pass by. Am I tempting the devil much? Hell yea. <br />

P.S. <br />
About the aliens and extraterrestrials... What makes humanity think that it's so special? The universe is FRICKEN HUGE!!! So why would aliens be so interested in us that they'd travel across the galaxy or from somewhere far far away just to visit? or blow us up? etc. I'm sure there are PLENTY more resources and other valuable minerals or liquids/gasses that can be found throughout the universe with less difficulty. We aren't that special.

</div>As any Persona or Shin Megami Tensei fan knows - Persona 4 was and still is an EPIC game. And now they are developing an anime for it! YAY! With all this sudden and heavy advertising - including a trailer - the show shouldn't be that far away around the corner right? :D According to Moonphase, the anime should be here sometime around Fall this year.<br />

</div><div><br />
</div>Imagine. Pointing a laser pen randomly into the sky at night. The next day you are being charged for pointing a laser at an aircraft operator and find out that you caused the blood vessels in the left eyes of two pilots to rupture. What are the chances? lol.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Apparently," <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Hidlago Moreno, 19, and his 17-year-old friend were playing with a laser pointer at about 2 a.m. on New Year's Day, shining it into the sky. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Two pilots from the Collier County Sheriff's Office spotted the light while patrolling in their tactical helicopter 500 feet in the air.</span></div><div id="continued" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
The pilots were forced to return to their hangar, and each sought treatment at a local hospital for ruptured blood vessels in their left eyes. The police were able to track the lasers back to Hidalgo's home, and both teens were charged with pointing a laser at an aircraft operator, causing injury."</div><div id="continued" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</div><div id="continued" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Wow. Wouldn't it take a while for the laser to damage your eyes? At least several seconds? Why would the pilots even stare at the laser for such a long time - especially when flying... And both pilots?</div><div><br />

Hey everyone, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year, and I really hope that you'll be able to fulfill all of your resolutions. What everyone thinks is that new years is the ONLY time you can change, but this isn't the case! Only you can dictate when you want to change, and you can do it anytime you wish. This is the only way our world is able to move forward: with change. So with that said, please try to always look to the future and don't dwindle in the past. Forget 2010, welcome to 2011!<br />
<div><br />

<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D<br />

I myself don't even know. They could be multicolored aliens, or kids cruelly dressed up for Halloween 24/7, OR <i>really </i>short adults getting paid to dress up in pedophile suits. Well with their innocent outlook and their super cool portable tvs' on their stomachs, it's really hard to say. But the fact that there are four of them means that they greatly outnumber a single fat purple dinosaur. Maybe this will cause them to win against it?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Barney:</b></div><div>Big. Fat. Purple. Dinosaur. 'Nuff said. This BFPD doesn't really have anything special about him besides his extraordinary creeping and pedophile abilities. He doesn't have a tv lodged in his stomach or weird alien antennas on his head, he's just a...BFPD, to be simple. Even though there isn't anything particularly outstanding about BFPD, the fact that he (or it) is fat means he/it might be able to sit on the Teletubbies and crush their internal organs (and probably more). Anyway, lets get on with the main event below...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>*SHOWDOWN*</i></b></div><div>So to start off the fight, both teams will probably find a secluded place somewhere so that they can all try to kill each other without being seen by anyone else, particularly their 3-5 year old fan base. Once that place is determined, I can imagine that this is what is going to happen:</div><div>1) The Teletubbies begin to run to try to tackle Barney down, then try to slaughter him/it with their antennas and tvs.</div><div>2) Barney is too fat, meaning the Teletubbies can't take him down. They then begin to hack at his fat legs to make him fall over and die.</div><div>3) While the Teletubbies try to kill him, BFPD begins to rage...an example is below.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3Tkx956SsQkEIsbH_KZ3GN8JcM0T6qa_5AMxhccH8xAGiIQkztG2NLo1cF_8F0PDaz-R6_09ZZAaUJ6d7rgZhGVH3y6Xbrs9_OjmrRqZlD-sZB-rQe-Y1UMQsX63iyPvD4Tgie0rUbY/s400/scary+barney.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4) Of course this mentally retarded purple dinosaur would decide to pull out a gun, and then he begins to shoot at the Teletubbies.</div><div style="text-align: left;">5) They all scatter, but return in gangster outfits and a gun...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Mu3-ACVxwEps-Xn7_oOjPw7lKHPpgAEEoDYLVxUrg3EV4Ol1SvhhHtomWuyGjWGMnkI9RPgFhv1sNnn7Ai7vJjbDTv1lihGjqnDChvOJRyjPgtlVfDAEUVi9FyO0lfGsRKw1GYAN-Pk/s400/gangster+teletubbies.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">6) The shooting begins, and eventually the yellow teletubbie dies.

</div><div><br />
</div>Well. I figured, instead of retelling everyone my "war stories" every time someone wants to hear them... I might as well just jot them down here and link it the next time someone asks or if I feel like it :)<br />
<div><br />
</div><div><br />
<div>Story #1</div><div>Ok, well I'm in a hallway, with two friendlies covering my back.</div><div>FRIENDLY [WALL]</div><div> [WALL]</div><div> FRIENDLY</div><div> [WALL]</div><div> [WALL]</div><div> [WALL]</div><div>ME</div><div>[OBSTACLE]</div><div><br />
</div><div>I've been pinned in a spot behind a obstacle/building for around 2 minutes already. Some idiot at the other spawn keeps popping out every once in a while, spraying down the hallway so we can't move. Ugh. What a pain. </div><div>I turn around, and tell my teammate the famous last words, "Hey, Watch. This."</div><div>and I run out of the hallway spraying on full auto with a gun that shoots <i>30 bbs per second</i>, while screaming like a mofo "RAWGHGHGHHGHGHGHHHHHHHH!!!!" </div><div>I was totally RAMBOING the place and killed 5 guys before dieing and going to the "deadzone". The enemies were so scared from the screaming they <i>didn't even</i> fire back, they were like "WTF?!!!" lol.</div><div>As I turn away to walk to the deadzone, a referee tosses a sound grenade at me and it explodes. Screaming. Shooting. And an explosion to walk away from. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Epic</span>.</div><div><br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Story #2</div><div>So here I am with my <b>last</b> Glock magazine, I rush through the middle of the urban battlefield (meaning wooden buildings, walls, etc) weaving in and out between rooms and walls while shooting down a few enemies with the last of my bullets. A large amount of gunfire begins focusing in my direction and I hide behind a wall.</div><div><br />
</div><div> [WALL] ME <---</div><div><br />
</div><div>with a teammate behind another wall behind my wall.</div><div><br />
</div><div>TEAMMATE [WALL] [WALL] ME</div><div><br />
</div><div>I check my magazine. Empty. Damnit.</div><div>I'm in the front of the battlefield, within enemy territory, carrying a Glock 23f with 3 empty magazines and an empty Hi Capa pistol in the holsters.... great. And there are lots of enemies. Sheeet.</div><div>Then all of a sudden I see an enemy soldier with a <i>knife</i> in one hand and a pistol in the other rushing up towards my teammate. </div><div><br />
</div><div>TEAMMATE [WALL] [WALL] ME</div><div> [WALL]</div><div> <---- ENEMY</div><div><br />
</div><div>So what the hell. I jump after him with my empty pistols, rush up right before he knifes my teammate and I shoot him in the face. Well, technically I yelled "surrender!" since it's against the rules to shoot within 10 feet... but use your imagination. He was pissed. lolz. Especially when he found out I had no ammo, but too late. </div></div><div><br />
</div><div>Story #3 </div><div>So, one day, a stupid team of <b>baseball kids</b> think their really tough and go airsofting. So, as soon as the game starts on the field, they <b>ALL</b> group up on the left side of their spawn point. And amazingly, my team is s<i>tupid enough</i> to stay on left side and have a firefight. Leaving me, a friend, and two enemies on the right side of the field.</div><div><br />
</div><div>BASEBALL TEAM. TWO ENEMIES.</div><div><br />
</div><div>FIELD. FIELD. FIELD. FIELD. FIELD. FIELD. </div><div><br />
</div><div>MY TEAM. ME + FRIEND.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So, right off the bat I start rushing up the right side of the field, hoping to take advantage of the vulnerable side of the enemy team. While going down the hallway my friend gets picked off and "dies" leaving me alone. <i>What the hell</i>. </div><div>I run up in a crouch to the wall where the two enemies are camping and. "RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"</div><div>I spray the hell out of them, leaving a <b>WIDE EMPTY SPACE</b> where I can see all the baseball team kids shooting at my teammates. I let loose a storm of bullets and scare the $%!@ out of them. 100 & 80 degrees of spray and pray. Well there wasn't any praying coming from me, it was all them.</div><div><br />
</div><div>BASEBALL TEAM <pewpewpew---- ME</div><div><br />
</div><div>FIELD.FIELD.FIELD.FIELD.FIELD.FIELD.FIELD</div><div><br />
</div><div>MY TEAM. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Round 2. </div><div>We switch sides. Half field this time.</div><div><br />
</div><div> MY TEAM + ME.</div><div>HALLWAY.FIELD. FIELD. FIELD.</div><div>HALLWAY.FIELD.FIELD.FIELD</div><div>HALLWAY.FIELD. FIELD. FIELD.</div><div>HALLWAY.FIELD. FIELD. FIELD.</div><div> BASEBALL TEAM</div><div><br />
</div><div>These guys must be either really scared (because the hallway is a really dangerous place, but vital to watch over) or really stupid to not defend the hallway. So they just camp on the right side of their spawn point. Once again, trading fire with my team.</div><div>Meanwhile, I stroll down the hallway, flank the enemies and wow. They have <b>ALL </b>their backs turned to me. I open fire. LOL>OLOLOLOLOL</div><div>The kids are in so much pain some of them slump over, and others just hide behind their "dead" friends, with their hands to the wall. Seriously I saw TWO kids like this. With their guns on the ground.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.rubberball.com/RBImages/v006/wm/b05809.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.rubberball.com/RBImages/v006/wm/b05809.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Round 3 and 4 went pretty much the same way... They ended up learning to fear the guy in black with a Tar 21. Lol. They took cover whenever they saw me. I mean. A guy constantly popping out of nowhere with a insanely painful and fast shooting gun screaming and shooting at you isn't that <b>scary</b> is it?</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div>Story #4</div><div>I was up in the middle of the battlefield, camping with my Glock behind a wall. My team was pinned at spawn cause they didn't want to rush up with me and the enemy team had complete dominance over 60% of the field.</div><div><br />
</div><div>ENEMY. ENEMY. ENEMY.ENEMY</div><div>HALL[WALL] [WALL][WALL]</div><div> ME</div><div><br />
</div><div>[WALL][WALL] </div><div> [WALL] [WALL][WALL]</div><div>TEAMMATES [WALL]</div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyway, enemies kept rushing up, trying their luck in making it to my team's spawn point, getting through between the two walls and flanking my team... <i>BUT</i> they didn't know I was there. lol so I just kept shooting them down. I pissed them off. After like 5 minutes of this, they realized something was wrong and was causing them to fail in their attempts to take the "base". </div><div>So I'm camping with my pistol, and all of a sudden I see a <b>black apple sized objec</b>t fly <i>right past my face</i>, through the window of the wall and into the place where <i>ALL</i> my teammates are camping. LOL.</div><div>It was a sound grenade, or "Flashbang" without the blinding flash.</div><div><b>BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b>!</div><div>The explosion caused panic in my teammates, and sent them into chaos and disarray. Meanwhile, the enemy took advantage of their confusion and rushed up nearly all at once in a huge blitz. But since I wasn't that close to the grenade, it didn't effect me and I just shot all the rushing soldiers. Lol. Failure. But then I ran out of ammo, and there were like two guys left, they were within 10 feet, so I yelled "SURRENDER!"</div><div>but no. the idiots weren't following the rules, and they were like "F@#$ you" and started shooting at me. I went out, but came back later. with vengeance. I spent the rest of the night screaming, rushing into their base/spawn, and spraying my Glock at full auto. lol. They were scared. </div><div>By the way. my Glock is <i>loud.</i></div><div><br />
</div><div></div><div> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I'll post up the rest of my stories some other time, especially the zombie ones during the Halloween event. Man those games were a riot. Drop a comment and let me know what you think about the stories haha. Yes, I know they're all about me. I'm awesome like that.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

It's more like an outlook on life. The song explains how life is wasted in so many ways, such as being forced to pursue a dream that isn't actually yours, living life with cancer, etc. etc. There are plenty of ways to interpret this, but I think the overall message is talking about life. If you actually read the lyrics, the song is a bit sad; the outlook on life isn't exactly the happiest, if you get what I mean xD</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />

So for all those gundam fans out there, here's a quick overview of this anime and of course, some commentary to go with it :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNKZqmeMDllYn7AghmFHZOlh2JwrD6Tw5mIUAzG0r55h7TK-xPvLcsruoRIWtedIowGNAC1_Z__oph6OxMwQJqJU4QuwC7TVDd5l6Wyrj86JD6W0_Ez94C4BLcI6bmymnGnGMHPEUzfIU/s400/mobile+fighter+g+gundam.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 328px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551830679249059762" /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Plot Overview:</span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >The time frame the anime takes place in is the future, where there are floating space colonies that represent each country, and Earth is left in ruins. The few people that do inhabit Earth find it increasingly hard to live, mainly because of the event called the Gundam Fights, which occurs every four years. The fights were designed so that each colony didn't have to fight large wars with each other, and what happens is each country chooses their top fighter and sends them to participate in the fight. Whoever defeats all of the other countries' gundams and is the last one standing earns their nation the ability to rule all of space for the next four years. The main character is a young martial artist named Domon Kasshu, who is the fighter of Neo-Japan. He wants to win the Gundam Fights for a variety of reasons; to free his father from his cryogenic state (he was frozen because he was wrongly accused for committing treason) and to track down <span class="Apple-style-span">his brother who has escaped with the Dark Gundam and plans to use it to take over all of space. (There's a really interesting twist at the end, but you've got to watch it to find out ;D)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Gundam Fight Articles:</span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >(<span class="Apple-style-span">Basically the rules for the Gundam Fights)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><dl style="margin-top: 0.2em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; line-height: 19px; "><dt style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.1em; "><b>-Article 1</b></dt><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-left: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; ">A unit whose head section has been destroyed is disqualified.

On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the highest), I would rate this anime a 4 because I liked most of the storyline, but a lot of the parts were repetitive.

That's right, I once crash landed on an abandoned island in the middle of the Pacific. And let me tell you: It was no epic adventure with broad appeal to multiple demographics. No, it was terrifying, tedious and, due to coarse language, nudity and coconut related sexual content, would have been unsuitable for sensitive viewers.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">First and foremost, a lot of people died. And not extras. Real people with hopes and dreams and spines. Quite frankly it was a miracle I survived myself, and I think that if I hadn't made an absolute nuisance of myself requesting pillows on that flight, I doubt I'd be here to tell the tale. "More pillows!" I bellowed. "I can still feel the plane vibrating!" After the crash, seeing the crumpled form of all the neighbors who I'd taken pillows from, I couldn't help but feel much, much smarter than them.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-18584" height="234" src="http://www.cracked.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/dodgeball.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="CB022226" width="250" />The first few hours after the crash were a blur. You know how at the beginning of dodgeball, everyone runs to the middle of the room and grabs the dodgeballs? That's what this was like, except instead of grabbing dodgeballs, everyone was crying about their dead friends and the plane was sinking. It was pretty fraught times, and conscious thought took a back seat. I don't even remember how I ended up sitting on the beach with all my pillows and four wallets that weren't mine, quietly watching the plane sink beneath the waves. A handful of other survivors lay scattered on the beach around me.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Shortly after that, a guy began introducing himself to everyone. I immediately forgot what his name was, and began referring to him as the Professor, probably because he was wearing a shirt with buttons on it. The Professor said that we would need to find a source of fresh water, because we would die if we did not drink water. I happily agreed with his reasoning, as the flight had left me pretty dehydrated. (Though not from drinking, I can happily report. I was actually sweating quite a bit under all those pillows.) Fortunately for us, there was a shallow stream a half mile or so from where we'd washed ashore. We were grateful to see it, me for multiple reasons.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"For the love of God, don't poop there you idiot!" the Professor yelled, beginning a pattern of him suddenly making arbitrary rules to stop me from doing something.

After a day or so, one of the survivors began eating some of the nearby plants to see if they were edible. In the sense that they were easily eaten, the plants appeared to be edible, but when the guy's heart and lungs stopped working, opinions on the definition of "edible" split. I'd like to say that Wheels' sacrifice was worth it (I have of course forgotten his name), but when we found the grove of coconut trees just around the corner from the stream, well it actually made him look kind of dumb. Later on, gathered around the fire we'd talk and exchange stories about Wheels, pantomiming his final moments while others laughed and clapped.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Until those coconuts showed up, I was at least a little worried we might end up resorting to cannibalism, even to the point of loudly discussing the horrible diseases I surely had from all the urine I was splashing on myself while peeing. This was probably unnecessary, but seeing as I didn't get eaten, I'm going to say it worked. In truth, for most of us cannibalism was never really an option, because you have to be really hungry to even consider it. The one exception of course was Hungry Ted.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">"I suppose you know why I've come to talk to you," Hungry Ted whispered in my ear one evening while we were eating coconuts.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I did know.

Unlike certain Tom Hanks movies I could mention, if you ever get trapped on a deserted island, don't count on having fun with your friend the volleyball. I'll tell you what the hard truth about living on a desert island is: Your friends are people you washed ashore with who don't like you because of all the pee on you. <em>You're not in Kansas any more Dorothy. Unless Kansas is a place where dudes pee on themselves to ward off violent crime. It very well might be.

In fact, all of our sporting events were played with coconuts. We had a lot of different sports. Partly a way of improving our spirits and fitness levels, they also provided a forum for low stakes wagering, which occurred readily with the only currency available: sexual favors.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">_________</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">You know how Gilligan wore that same red shirt every day for 23years? Bullshit. Modern clothes are incredibly cheaply made, and will not stand up to the sort of wear and tear that a life of coconut farming and rigorous coconut sporting will inflict upon them. Expect to be completely naked within three or four days. After that, depending on the moral norms that develop, investigate replacement clothing as necessary. In our case, garments fashioned from woven palm leaves and coconut shells quickly became popular, and modified as fashion dictated.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">_________</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">It's funny, coconuts will have a lot to do with your day to day island existence, but not in the ways you'd think. You will be eating them of course, and wearing them, and playing with them and getting in heated screaming matches with them. But you won't be inventing anything with them. After some early experiments, we concluded that as a tool, the average coconut is primarily useful for hitting things. They can also be sat on. Standing on them is tricky, but possible with practice, and again provides another avenue for low stakes wagering. Other things worth knowing about coconuts:</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><em>- Throwing coconuts at things is fun.</em></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><em>- Throwing things at coconuts is also fun.</em></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><em>- Talking into a coconut and pretending it is a phone is great fun.</em></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><em>- A coconut will never love you back.</em></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">_________</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">In the first few days--with the poo still fresh on your hands and guys eating plants and dieing--you'll be too preoccupied with your own survival for your libido to rear its ugly head. But once you've established yourself a bit and everyone's wearing coconut thongs and bowler hats, you'll notice those old familiar urges creeping up on you. Which made things awkward for me, having been on a prison relocation flight at the time of the crash, transporting exclusively male violent offenders from West Virgina to Colorado, apparently by way of the South Pacific. (I should have known something was up when the pilot kept coming in to the cabin and peering through the windows, sweating.) Anyways, there was, to be frank, an awful lot of violent homosexual sex going on. I don't think this is typical of most deserted island situations, but can only report what I saw with my own eyes, and continue to see even now when I close my eyes.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">_________</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-18583" height="208" src="http://www.cracked.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Drunken-Leprechaun.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Drunken Leprechaun" width="300" />We eventually set out to explore the interior of our island, to find out whether we were on an island after all, or illegally squatting in a city park, nakedly playing coconut soccer with a recovering cannibal. We'd have done so earlier, but had hesitated for fear of the wildlife. The Professor reminded us that some of the most terrifying monsters from science and mythology have been island dwellers, such as the Komodo dragon, the Cyclops and the Irish. Eventually the Professor and three others set out into the wilderness, taking Hungry Ted with them for protection. I don't know exactly what happened to them, hearing only the screams in the distance a few hours later. One of them did manage to make it back to the beach, and told us a confused story of Hungry Ted breaking his restraints and attacking the group. All the mocking and spitting and horrible debasing of Hungry Ted by us now seemed less funny, knowing that he was going to murder us all for it. We all agreed that this was a valuable lesson on perspective.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">_________</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">We were finally rescued when a passing ship spotted the smoke rising from one of the many fires we'd set to keep Hungry Ted at bay.

You mean that catchy pop music that all that popular radio stations play 24/7? Well, apparently the majority of Americans in our society love this type of junk music playing on the radio ALL THE TIME. Here, I'm going to give you my opinion on the music, and let you know why it's so horrible. Down below is a perfect example which shows exactly where I stand on this subject:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEcmXxYJ2Trzr_AWgL9X1Oz90XtAiSwazZXn8tKQhiP2_D8SM91jSo4KFYNsDEzMCHiEDPxXxAcw3ekxo2ccd02DGpJPrjHbsRjalS4c0bdMW4xwVsweB08gZuIuidmPj4TICoCZONuo/s1600/hate+mainstream.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550383748745727042" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNEcmXxYJ2Trzr_AWgL9X1Oz90XtAiSwazZXn8tKQhiP2_D8SM91jSo4KFYNsDEzMCHiEDPxXxAcw3ekxo2ccd02DGpJPrjHbsRjalS4c0bdMW4xwVsweB08gZuIuidmPj4TICoCZONuo/s400/hate+mainstream.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 237px;" /></a><br /><div>Anyway, here are a few reasons why mainstream music is horrible and why the radio now sucks...</div><div><br /></div><div>1. <b>The same genre. The same songs.</b></div><div>Most "popular" radio stations suffer from this very thing. The lack of VARIETY and/or ORIGINALITY. Let me paint you a scenario that has happened to me countless times:</div><div>*In the car*</div><div>Me: -Justin Beiber song playing- HURRY CHANGE THE SONG BEFORE I LOSE MY MASCULINITY!</div><div>Brother: -switches stations-</div><div>Me:.........THE SAME THING IS PLAYING ON THIS STATION TOO! FML. x.x</div><div><br /></div><div>As you can see, our society gets caught up in all the famous pop stars and their music that pretty much the majority of the radio now plays only pop music. Another example of songs replying themselves over and over again is when, for instance, I get into a car to go somewhere and hear a song on the radio. I then leave to go do whatever I needed to do, and when I get back into the car the same exact song is playing again. More recently, this has been happening again and again, and it bothers me so much that I pretty much want to kill my radio (which is pretty insane, because I'm a music obsessive).</div><div><br /></div><div>Radio stations only focus on playing pop and rap music, and little to none of any other type of music. Basically, their only playing the mushy mainstream crap that everyone seems to love to listen to. Don't get me wrong, I don't exactly hate the music that they're playing, it's just that the same genre with no classic rock (or any rock music at all, for that matter) seems a bit boring and repetitive.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. <b>Excessive overplaying? Just a little.</b></div><div>Like I said before, the same music is overplayed WAY too much. Rap and pop music seem to be the only type of music that is played, with no other type of genre besides the occasional rock song. The thing about the songs that they play is that they're actually decent! (The majority of them, at least.) But once you hear a song for the 50th, 100th, or even 200th time...you get disgusted with the song. Songs that I used to love before they became popular on the radio I now hate, mostly because I hear the song every single day on the radio. I haven't been the only one experiencing this though, many of my classmates also complain about discovering a song long before it was popular, and then hating it once it did become popular.</div><div><br /></div><div>Typically I would write much more, but right now my brain isn't exactly functioning correctly, so I'll just end my rant here :) If you agree or disagree, drop a comment below!<br /><br />~Chichi</div>Chichihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13778521323796670221noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896444901173661821.post-13322474384454436302010-12-13T16:33:00.000-08:002010-12-13T16:34:29.347-08:00How to download files off of Megaupload for free!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://micropark.com.br/Logo/megaupload.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="86" src="http://micropark.com.br/Logo/megaupload.gif" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Everyone knows Megaupload, it usually has the best and most HD/HQ videos and probably the largest amount of files on download - around. You can find pretty much every file on Megaupload... only problem is you have to wait for the annoying 54 minute video timers or 1 minute wait for a file download (and then a longer timer if you are planning on downloading more than the set limit of files per day)<br />
<br />
So how can you bypass this? Well the answer is simple : Jdownloader<br />
<a href="http://jdownloader.org/">http://jdownloader.org/</a><br />
<br />
This easy to use program allows for you to basically "rip" or "grab" files off of various download websites such as Megaupload or Hotfile. <br />
<br />
All you need to do is :<br />
Download and install Jdownloader, then run the program.<br />
Copy the webaddress of the Megaupload or Hotfile file (the page of the download AFTER you enter the "captcha" code verification thing.) Copy via Ctrl + C after highlighting the web address.<br />
Then go to Jdownloader > Linkgrabber tab, and the link should already be up there. Just right click the empty space in area and choose "continue with all".<br />
If the download link isn't showing, then select the button "Add URL" and add the web address manually before "continuing with all".<br />
<br />
After that, you just wait for the download to complete on the "download" tab. Then right click the downloaded file on Jdownloader and "open directory" to open the folder the file is inside. Just run the file from the folder and that's it.<br />

What is so frightening about this is that many people that immigrate there to escape communism or other governments are captured and regarded as political prisoners. These people are then caned almost <b>everyday</b>. This is a rough overview of what happens: specially trained officers that are particularly good at caning take out a meter long cane, and swing at the prisoners' bare back with both hands. The cane rips into their skin and leaves behind nasty scars. Usually, the pain is so severe that the prisoner is knocked unconscious. When this happens, the officers wake the prisoner up, just to knock them unconscious again. Obviously this is a horrible and cruel, and this happens to people that haven't done anything at all (the families that immigrate there) or people that perform sm<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549894339546139522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiZoKO9VXKeJK65Ib45kz2OgkrI1R7ghlphK0nbNXDRwiBWqdksx7QT3QbMIIoSFuQeREY-m5fWfGNtbpvltJg0pGvAF9bBQWzqBrSRqm5dgGmgeVZa05bhL0l0-S3GUP3tJdUR6h4iek/s320/canes.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 233px; margin: 0 0 10px 10px; width: 320px;" />all petty crimes (such as stealing). This is considered systematic torture and is a complete violation to human rights, as it leaves behind emotional and physical scars. I believe that this form of punishment should be removed immediately, because having such violent punishments still going on in the world is pretty ridiculous. We have to stop things like this as soon as we can.

<br />
Ok. I'm sure everyone has seen some website advertising "get paid to do surveys" or the similar. Popular sites are PrizeRebel and Rewards1 (as far as I am aware, they were one of the very originals) . Since then, a lot of companies have tried to rip off their idea of paying for taking surveys and doing "offers". Anyway... I'm here to tell you that<br />
1. They are not a scam.<br />
2. They really do pay you.<br />
3. But it's very difficult to earn $ (you'll see why)<br />
<br />
So, concerning fact #1, there probably are several scam sites, but that's why I would only suggest using Rewards1 or PrizeRebel. I personally have used*/use Rewards1 and earned about $60 before going inactive (bought a few games and stuff off ebay). I also had friends that used PrizeRebel before so I know that pays as well. If you choose to sign up for paid surveys/offers, only sign up for one. (Signing up for more than one site may get your account banned - they will explain on the site) You can click the link up at the top to sign up for Rewards1.<br />
<br />
<b>What are these "offers"/"surveys"?</b><br />
Well, companies basically send their ads to Rewards1 and the other survey sites, then pay them for each person that "visits" or "completes" their advertising forms. Except, we don't really "complete" the surveys, but rather just make it seem like we completed it (that way you don't get charged, sent spam, etc. etc. etc.)<br />
<br />
For Ex.<br />
Blockbuster sends an ad to Rewards1, they pay $2-5 (dunno real amount) for each person that Rewards1 gets to "sign up".<br />
Rewards1 links those "offers" to you.<br />
You go to the "offer" (advertisement) page, and then usually put in a fake email (or one you made specifically for ads) and then fill out some fake information, or just give an email, and leave the page (there will be different instructions for various offers) some "offers" may require you to go through around 4-5 pages of advertising surveys with "yes" or "no" questions before finishing (those usually pay higher).<br />
Then, after your gone, Blockbuster checks if you visited their ad, etc. via the cookie they gave you when you visited the site (the term cookie is computer language, look it up if you want)<br />
If they believe you completed the offer, they pay Rewards1, and Rewards1 pays you a fraction of the profit. <br />
(10-50 cents for easy offers, $1.00-$1.50 for longer surveys, and around $5 and more for the "credit card" or "cell phone" requiring ones - becareful on these)<br />
<br />
The only real problem with Rewards1 and these types of sites (back when I was using it, not sure how it is now) is that since you don't <i>Really </i>buy the advertised product or sign up, more than half the time you don't get credited/paid. (maybe I wasn't following the correct methods to do it). However, the more real information you put in, the higher the chances are that you <i>will </i>get credited. (I was using completely fake information). <br />
<br />
There are MANY, MANY, MANY guides on the forums and on the internet upon how to do these guides, so it would be a great idea to look them up if you decide on starting. (it'll be nearly impossible without them) I won't be describing them here mainly because it takes so long to write out the process, and it may have changed from the last time I used it, and the ones already written are probably more accurate and detailed than something I can come up with.<br />
<br />
In the end, completing offers usually takes a while, and you won't be earning much (come on, it's free), but if done correctly you can still earn a nice amount of $ and use Rewards1 to buy things off the internet for you from websites such as Amazon or Ebay. If you have the time, it's well worth checking out.<br />

How exactly does this wonder drug affect your body? (Yes, it counts as a drug because the definition of a drug is anything that alters your mind or body's functions blah blah blah I'm a nerd.) Could drinking this be potentially bad for you? Does drinking caffeine actually make your short? All these will be answered below :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ3pxSu9x2vkvyrSqyNbRFAOCHBwra8-Nc19NXhGzA2_7OrSH0Lw5nudJiFYbtoLQSd6jfU5g96oeb3MSBV3x58TmEhqYXapoTNZPx_GPBx-7rvWXfOyEk2rA-4zHUP018vhmWExTMtwY/s320/caffeine+junkie.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 269px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549282812331972034" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>-<i>What is caffeine?</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Basically, caffeine is a stimulant that is found in many common drinks such as tea, coffee, and soda. Caffeine is typically found in tea and coffee, because it is a natural part of coco beans, coffee beans, and various tea leaves.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>-<i>What exactly is a stimulant?</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Caffeine is a psychoactive stimulant drug, and these types of drugs altar either your mind, body or both. Effects include alertness, wakefulness, endurance, motivation, and a minimal need for sleep and food. Because of its ability to do pretty much all of the things just previously listed, many people use caffeine to "jump start" their day by drinking coffee right when they wake up.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>-<i>If caffeine is so great, how could it possibly be bad for you?</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Like all things that are good in life, caffeine has tons of setbacks. (Don't forget, everything good in life is either illegal, immoral, or bad for your health) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">1. <b>Caffeine is a DRUG</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b></b>You wont believe it! Everything that your health teachers have been preaching to you ever since middle school is pretty much true-drugs are bad for you, no matter how little you take. Of course caffeine wont effect you as much as something like weed, but having too much caffeine can seriously increase your health risks. Stimulants increase your heart rate and blood pressure, making you susceptible to heart attacks, strokes, clogged arteries...(wow I just repeated the same thing twice o.o) but yeah you get the point. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">2. <b>The so-called "crash" that everyone eventually gets.</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">The "crash" is the feeling after the drug wears off and let me tell you, having a crash after a sugar high or a caffeine high is NOT fun. After the effects of the drugs wear off, you feel extreme fatigue, drowsiness, headaches, and the list goes on and on. It takes a bit of time to recover after you crash, so be aware that you shouldn't drink caffeine in the morning, it would be wiser to drink it at night in order to stay awake. (But this is just personal preference)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">3. <b>Caffeine lowers your FERRITIN levels!</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yes, many of you are probably wondering "what the heck is FERRITIN?!". Well, without giving a boring biology lesson, ferritin is basically your body's ability to transfer oxygen to your muscles. (It stores iron in your body) So if you have low ferritin levels, exercising or doing sports will become really difficult because it takes much more effort to breath. Ways you can increase your ferritin levels is to make sure you have NO CARBONATED DRINKS at all, just cut it from your diet completely. That means no soda, no apple cider, and NO BEER. The carbonation totally wreaks your body's normal functions of carrying oxygen to your muscles so it's best to just stay away from it. Another way is to take a vitamin C tablet, mix it with orange juice and a tablespoon of liquid iron, and drink that daily. (Don't drink any dairy products 12 hours prior to doing this, it inhibits the iron and other stuff)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhilGLVhXhoRR3YoWqj7l_TlObafdROU1okt-cUjMTKCa2nVb-SHK_SxlJF7ZKz2M1BHTiaQUsXDuSpNId0f5Hyeh1DSbD0cRNLwpOLC1NmsxlkOz77fv3dJBXG3rMSUcXxqw9lJImyx5g/s320/short+dude.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549282541319169058" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. <b>Tolerance to caffeine</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Like all drugs,the more of it you take, the quicker you develop a tolerance for it. The more tolerance your body builds as you grow accustomed to it, the more you need to take to get the same "feel" as you did before when you drank caffeine. Tolerance is what many adults suffer from, because now that they are accustomed to drinking coffee everyday, it has become natural to them. Their bodies now NEED caffeine everyday just to feel <b>normal</b>. (Many drug addicts suffer from this when they are desperately trying to quit; their bodies just need the drug in order to function properly. In essence, the drug as become a natural part of their bodies and daily functions now.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>-<i>Caffeine: Does it actually make you short??</i></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">To put it very simply, nope. While I was growing up, my parents nailed into my head that drinking caffeine was forbidden because it would stunt my growth and I would stay a shorty the rest of my life, sort of like that guy on the side. Well anyway, I found that the reason most people thought that caffeine would stunt your growth is because people drinking caffeine were drinking it in lieu of calcium-rich drinks such as milk. (NO, the milk you put in coffee doesn't count) In short, (HA.) caffeine actually doesn't make you short or stunt your growth. Time to go out and get some Starbucks, huh? :D</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And that's pretty much it for things you might want to know about caffeine, if you've got any questions about anything I wrote about, feel free to drop a comment below :) thanks!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">~Chichi</div>Chichihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13778521323796670221noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896444901173661821.post-86172202199144642412010-12-09T23:31:00.000-08:002010-12-09T23:32:42.426-08:00Most win verification image ever.What's the chance of getting a verification image that has the same letters as this?

"<i>Artemis Fowl has lost his mind...</i><br />
<i>Just when the world needs him most.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Artemis has committed his entire fortune to a project he believes will save the planet and its inhabitants, both human and fairy. Can it be true? Has goodness taken hold of the world's greatest teenage criminal mastermind?<br />
Captain Holly Short is unconvinced, and discovers Artemis is suffering from the Atlantis Complex, a psychosis common in guilt-ridden fairies, not humans, and most likely triggered in Artemis by his dabbling in fairy magic. Symptoms include obsessive-compulsive behavior, paranoia, multiple personality disorder and, in extreme cases, embarrassing professions of love to a certain feisty LEP-recon fairy.<br />
Unfortunately, Atlantis Complex has struck at the worst possible time. A deadly foe from Holly's past is intent on destroying the actual city of Atlantis. Can Artemis escape the confines of his mind - and the grips of a giant squid - in time to save the underwater metropolis and its fairy inhabitants?"<br />

What's the catch?</div><div>The items take a certain amount of "check-ins" (log-ins) everyday by rewards members to unlock the deal. The other thing is that there are only limited amounts of every item for sale (for ex. gift cards tend to have anywhere from 100-1000 in stock) As soon as the item opens up for sale by unlocking, you usually have around 10-20 seconds to purchase one before it sells out - so have your credit card ready for the occasion!</div><div><br />
