Ji Chang Wook, a famous leading man of drama series "Empress Ki," "Healer" and "The K2" recently revealed his ideal woman.
To recall, the 29-year-old actor was always being rumored to be dating his co-stars but apparently, he revealed he is still single and still waiting for someone to date.
"I want to date someone who I can totally click with. I want somebody who can allow me to be innocent like a child. I know I might sound a little bit picky, but someone like a muse who can inspire me is my ideal type," the actor said.
He also revealed that he is willing to date someone who can converse with him deeply and said that he does not mind about appearances as it were just temporary.
Ji Chang Wook plans to enlist in military service this year. The actor starred in the box-office hit crime-action thriller movie "Fabricated City" which was premiered on February 9.

Capitol Police is just one of the scores of agencies coordinating a massive security strategy for Pope Francis' visit to U.S. soil, but its approximately 1,700 sworn officers and 300 civilian staff will be key to keeping the pontiff and the public safe during the pope's Thursday speech to a joint meeting of Congress.
Members say they are confident in security officials, but the department has been plagued by personnel issues and infighting while planning for the papal visit. On the day federal and local District of Columbia officials convened to address concerns about security and transit during the pontiff's visit, likening it to an inauguration, Capitol Police union officials ramped up their efforts to undermine outgoing Chief Kim C. Dine, who plans to retire in January.

Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer opened today's conference call with analysts with a recap of the points of Apple's Wednesday quarterly results press release: The company reported a US$61 million profit or $0.16 per diluted share for the quarter, compared to $19 million profit or $0.05 per diluted share for the same quarter a year ago. Revenue for the quarter was $2.014 billion, up 30 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
Oppenheimer also confirmed that the new iMac coming this September will be based on a G5 processor. The delay in the new model's release is supply problem involving the G5 processor itself -- it's manufactured by IBM in its East Fishkill, NY. facility.
Oppenheimer said that IBM's supply issues are the industry's supply issues -- the switch to 90 nanometer scale production has not been as smooth as anyone in the business expected. He did say that IBM has made progress in working out those issues, however.
Turning to Apple's retail store results, Oppenheimer indicated that Apple saw $3.2 million in average quarterly revenue per store. That's up from $2.6 million per store year-over-year. The company estimates that 5.8 million people visited stores during the quarter.
Oppenheimer mentioned that iTunes made a small profit in this quarter in response to an analyst's question, but did not offer specific details of the store's specific results.
iPod questions abounded during the session. Apple reported 860,000 iPods shipped during the quarter, and in questions and answers with analysts Oppenheimer and Apple VP Tim Cook made it clear that demand outstripped supply, especially on the popular iPod mini, which is just shipping internationally starting this month.
"Frankly, Japan is our weakest-performing [geographic area]," said Cook. He said the company is continuing to make changes to try to attract customers. To that end, the company's Tokyo store is succeeding.
This story, "Apple reveals G5 iMac plans" was originally published by PCWorld.

Collaborative Group of Public Clean Energy Programs Approves 5.5 Kilowatt Turbine Eligible for Participation in State Incentive Programs
24 July 2013
MONTPELIER, Vt. – Today, the Interstate Turbine Advisory Council (ITAC), a project of the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA), added the Bergey Excel 6, a fully certified small wind turbine, to its Unified List of wind turbines.
The Excel 6, a 5.5 kW turbine, joins the Excel 10 and five other turbines on ITAC's small wind turbine list; these turbines meet the ITAC listing requirements, a unique set of eligibility criteria that address the performance and reliability of turbines with a rotor swept area of less than 200m2 (meters squared). The list is used by ITAC-member clean energy programs across the United States, who have pooled resources to efficiently review and evaluate turbines.
The Bergey Excel 6 is a relatively new turbine to the Excel fleet, and there are 17 installations across the U.S. In 2011, a Bergey Excel 6 was commissioned at the Kennebec Valley Community College in Maine, providing electrical power to the college and serving as a teaching tool for students in the electrical technology program. The turbine has been operating quietly and efficiently since commissioning. In June, the Small Wind Certification Council awarded full certification to the U.S. small wind standard for the Bergey Excel 6. Certification to the standard ensures that the turbine has met performance and safety requirements. In addition to reviewing the certification documents, ITAC considered the technical, safety, warranty, and customer service practices of the company. The ITAC eligibility criteria developed for small wind turbine review will increase consumer confidence in wind technology, provide consistency to public clean energy programs, and ensure that tax- or ratepayer funding supports the installation of reliable and safe wind energy technology. The addition of the Excel 6 turbine to the ITAC Unified List will increase customers' choices and adds an ideal turbine for smaller and efficient homes, farms, and small businesses to the list.
"We look forward to listing an additional turbine to fill the niche for smaller homes and businesses," said Chris Dearth, Small Wind Program Manager at the Energy Trust of Oregon. "We're pleased to see more turbines achieving full certification to the AWEA standard and have greater confidence in the performance and durability of these certified machines."
Six clean energy programs across the United States use the ITAC Unified List: the Energy Trust of Oregon, the New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA), the California Energy Commission, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, and NV Energy. The List provides these programs with peer-reviewed, carefully-vetted turbines that have proven safety and reliability records and third-party acoustic and power performance reports.
Only ITAC-member programs may use the Unified List for incentive eligibility. Programs wishing to use the list should contact CESA to discuss membership.

I just got back from a week-long vacation in New York City, which I really needed in order to recharge, reset, and get remotivated. I got pretty burned out coding Galapag.us and am now going to work on some smaller experimental projects just for fun.
I made sure to spend plenty of time just walking through the city, as I prefer to do, getting a feeling for the rhythm of the city, how it works, and challenging myself to figure out where I am at all times and where I think I can find my next destination just based on sensing where people are heading, what the intuitive design is telling me, and where it'd make most sense to go next.
The city's organic and designed layouts make a lot of sense. Contrast it with DC. DC is very much a bureaucrat's city — it feels less as though conveniences were put in certain places because people found they belonged there, and more like some planner thought it'd be a good idea to overlap his system onto the underlying existing city.
Another aspect I picked up on was how visible different peoples' crafts were in NYC. Certainly DC is like any large city in that it has its own trades, but most of the people who live in DC are incredibly smart (having the highest density of highly-educated people in the nation) but not very creative, with professions geared towards analysis, policy, law, and communications. Their skills are to jiggle with what exists towards whatever constituency they represent at the time.
But NYC seems truly to be a rich ecosystem of trades. Everyone seems like a pro there. Merchants, bakeries, patisseries, bankers, writers, cartoonists, designers, public parks workers, architects, shoeshiners, even the homeless. It's beautiful to watch the city flow, and I imagine that's what Jack Dorsey loved to study when he professes his love for cities:
The boy who would one day invent Twitter was attempting to build a living map of New York. He wanted to capture the urban blur that had fascinated him from a young age, the buzz of vehicles, people and commerce that animates city life. Dorsey digitally reconstructed paper maps street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, then populated the thoroughfares with floating dots.
"I get so energized and inspired by cities, just walking around them and experiencing all the energy and life," said Dorsey, 33. "I wanted to be able to visualize that."
Contrast this with DC, which feels like it's still recovering from being punched in the gut, with a strange and stark stratification of gentrifying neighborhoods, hopeless others, and a political class that notices neither.
I haven't written much lately — I quit my job a couple months ago to work on Galapag.us full-time — but have recently been unhappy that I can't point to any trade or craft of my own. I mess around and play with code and design, but am not too happy doing them for other people. Analysis for most in DC, even in counter-terrorism and general intelligence, is not a very tangible craft. Like most of my peers, I know a little about a lot but not much more than that. Not a chef, not a craftsman, not a really good player at any sport.
Is that as good as it gets? Is that what I have to look forward to? Now I know that some computer workers get satisfaction in their jobs. I just finished Peter Seibel's interviews with some of the most famous software developers of all-time, in his book Coders at Work. These folks, most blessed with time early on in their lives on the first room-sized computers, are all asked whether they see themselves as scientists, programmers, artists, craftsmen, etc. Most will say they are craftsmen above all — although they tend towards more artistry than science, holding science in high esteem as a technical, rigorous, academic discipline. So at the highest level of software development, it can become a craft.
I think I'm going to have to mix things up a bit. I need to work with my hands a little more. There was something pretty fulfilling in the Army about using your hands (and whole body) a lot. Rifle training, room-clearing. Squad movements, building dumb stuff, digging dumb holes, carrying heavy stuff for dumb reasons. At least you felt fulfilled at the end of the day, for some reason.
I found a program at New York University (NYU), the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), which looks VERY cool. It stresses play, experimentation, and blending of art and culture with technology. Classes with Python, Arduino, industrial design, web mash-ups, augmented reality. The sorts of stuff you really wouldn't expect an academic program to use, since we all know universities tend to lag behind when it comes to incorporating stuff off the internet. So the class list has me as excited as I was about the international affairs program I went to, but this is definitely more tangible, more creative. So I think I'm going to apply — it helps that I'm now eligible for the new GI Bill, which will greatly help foot the bill of going to school in Manhattan.
I just refuse to believe that life consists of sitting at a desk every day doing analysis and having promotions consist solely of pay raises and not ambition/usefulness promotions.
I'm 32 now so I'm getting a little old…but I can't help but think I have to keep pushing, not really knowing where it'll all go. I'm more comfortable with the fact that I'll never be good enough to do a lot of jobs or crafts, and I respect more as I get older the people who fall into certain trades. I love that people become refined at their own crafts and are rewarded personally and spiritually and financially by them. But which craft will be mine? How will people know me? What will they identify ME as?

THE indispensable ingredient in great whiskey is time: years of aging and mellowing in casks. But in the world of craft whiskey, a growing number of distillers are unwilling to wait that long.
With a range of new technologies and techniques — smaller barrels, ultrasound machines, pressure chambers — they can put on the shelf in a matter of months, if not weeks, whiskeys that they say compare to ones matured for three to five years.
"Everyone's trying to cheat time, in a sense to cheat mother nature," said John Hansell, the editor of The Whisky Advocate.
While most small distillers continue to churn out unaged products (like vodka or gin) that can move from still to store in days, dozens of intrepid entrepreneurs see aged liquors, particularly whiskey, as their best shot at differentiating themselves in an increasingly crowded market.
Yet aging can take, well, ages: four years is a widely accepted minimum for bourbon, eons to a cash-hungry start-up that has spent a small fortune on equipment, barrels and warehousing.
In response, many new distillers are turning to smaller barrels, as little as 5 gallons, instead of the standard 53-gallon model. The smaller size allows more of the whiskey to come into contact with the wood surface. As a result, it picks up the oaky flavors and dark colors of the wood faster, and within a year a distiller will usually have something with the vanilla and caramel notes associated with whiskey.
The problem is that those notes are about all they will get. Missing will be the complex floral and fruit notes that come from esterification, the years of interaction of acids in the wood with alcohols, oxygen and other chemicals in the barrel. Such one-dimensionality characterizes several new regional whiskeys, including Kings County bourbon of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is aged in five-gallon casks for about a year, or Hudson Baby Bourbon, produced by Tuthilltown Spirits in Gardiner, N.Y.
"You get something that's interesting, and some people like it, and there might even be a market for it, but it's not something that people who are looking for a complicated spirit are going to particularly enjoy," said Kris Berglund, a chemical engineer and the head of the artisan distilling program at Michigan State.
It's not that very young whiskeys are bad; they are just different. Koval, a new distillery in Chicago that makes whiskey with nontraditional grains like millet and spelt, gives its products just a few months in the barrel, enough to smooth a few edges but not so much that the grains' unusual flavors disappear.
One thing that minimal aging does is let the flavor of the original grains come through, which can be great for cocktails. Mr. Hansell said it was useful to think of young whiskeys as the equivalent of a blanco, or unaged, tequila optimal for margaritas, while anejo tequila, aged for at least a year, is better for sipping.
Still, some distillers are unwilling to wait the 9 to 12 months required by small barrels. An array of new techniques eschew aging almost entirely in favor of methods like ultrasound, agitation and rapid controlled pressure swings — all meant to speed the extraction of color and flavor, as well as the chemical reactions inside the whiskey itself.
Later this year Tom Lix, the founder of Cleveland Whiskey, will introduce a whiskey made in a device akin to an oversize pressure cooker. Inside it he places unaged whiskey and oak staves, then alternates high and low pressure over several days. "In a matter of weeks, if not less, we have product coming out that rivals 10- to 12-year-olds," he said.
Another venture producing whiskey for private-label clients is Terressentia, based outside Charleston, S.C. It uses a mix of ultrasonic waves and oxidation to remove impurities from young whiskey rapidly — a process that mimics the effects of long-term aging, said Earl D. Hewlette, the company's chief executive.
"Twelve to 18 hours will completely clean 250 gallons of whiskey in a way that is far better than barrel aging," he said.
To prove it, he offered samples of six-month-old and two-year-old whiskeys, before and after Terressentia's process.
There was definitely a difference in taste: the processed whiskey was a bit smoother, and at least in the younger whiskey, more of the grain notes came through. But both lacked depth, while betraying a vague but noticeably sterile note. Impurities may have been removed; nothing seems to have replaced them.
So does this mean that start-up distillers are out of luck?
Not necessarily. While nothing will completely replace lengthy aging in full-size barrels, a few tricks can add depth quickly. One, borrowed from Scotch makers, is to "finish" a whiskey in used wine barrels for a few weeks, which allows some of the wine esters to seep into the liquid.
Finger Lakes Distilling, in Burdett, N.Y., ages its delicious McKenzie Bourbon in 10-gallon barrels for 18 months, but then sets it aside for a few months more in used chardonnay barrels. As a result, the whiskey ages quickly, but also has some of the darker color and fruity, floral depth associated with older whiskeys.
As the craft sector does its own maturing, said Dave Pickerell, an industry consultant and former master distiller at Maker's Mark, more start-ups will adopt this sort of hybrid approach, at least for now. Eventually, he said, he suspected most would convert to traditional large barrels.
"Many of the people that are employing the small-barrel techniques now have big barrels in the warehouse, and they're just doing small barrels now to get them through until the big barrels are ready," he said.
All the same, he doesn't expect them to abandon small-barrel aging or other techniques. "They're not out to make something that tastes like Maker's Mark," he said. "They're out to make something that's unique and interesting in their own right."

Adding on to a 1915 Gambrel
This 1930's Gambrel was well-built and in a great location, but too small for a growing family. Other than renovating the kitchen and existing bathroom, the work done in the original section of the house was primarily cosmetic. The addition was designed with contemporary flair, yet the new space flows seamlessly with the old. New spaces integrate with outdoor living areas, which were designed as part of the renovation and addition.
The addition included:
- An expansion (and renovation) of the kitchen to include an eat in area;
- A back door entry with small mudroom and half bath;
- An oversized family room with built-in cabinets and fireplace;
- A back staircase and open hallway connecting the old section of the house to the new;.
- A second floor master bedroom and bath;
- A second floor laundry area.

Many of the specifications that are now in use by the Federal agencies and states are based upon the laws of probability, not absolute limits. They are called Statistical Specifications, and use the law of probability to assess specification compliance. They are quite mathematical and not very well understood even by many of those who are using them. It must be discussed because it is no longer the wave of the future but in use throughout the country. Small details can cause specification noncompliance even when the product furnished is of excellent quality. The lack of understanding of the laws of probability by those who are writing specifications has caused many of the problems which result in penalties.
What does statistical mean?
At first, one may say "well, he must be talking about gathering lots and lots of data." That is not what is meant by statistical, although data is needed to develop a sound statistically based specification. The word "statistical" and the word "probability" are closely related. The introduction of statistics is the introduction of the theory of probability and concerns chance. Some of the top statisticians in the country are undoubtably working in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and in many Indian casinos to make sure that the games offered will assure that those who play them will, on the average, lose. The same laws that govern gambling govern statistical specification including, with some specifications, assurance that the contractor will not, on the average, get full pay.
The specifications generally are based upon the assurance that for a single pay item with a 100% pay factor, on the average, the contractor who is actually within specification 100% of the time would get paid 95%. Thus any specification that has a maximum pay factor of 100% has a penalty build within it which is, by the way, calculable. To overcome this problems many specifications will have as a possible "bonus" an extra 5%. However this is really not a bonus but a way to make the specification fair.
Precision and Accuracy
Before I go any further, I need to clear up a misunderstanding. The words Precision and Accuracy are often used interchangeably, however their meanings are quite different. Accuracy refers to how close the average of the test values represents the actual or true value. Precision, on the other hand, refers to how close repeated tests on the same sample are to each other. It is therefore possible to have accurate but imprecise test data or to have very precise but inaccurate data. As an example, the data may be scattered and, when plotted out, would resemble a shotgun pattern, but the mean of the data would be close to the true value. The data is therefore accurate, but imprecise (however such imprecise data requires many tests to obtain accuracy). We also can have a narrow shotgun pattern, which would give us a group of data that was very close to the true value, which would be accurate and precise.
On the other hand, a piece of equipment might very accurately reproduce itself but does not give an accurate answer. It's like shooting a very narrow pattern at a target, but with the pattern way up into one of the corners, such as would happen if the sight of the rifle is off. While the rifle is shooting with precision, it is not accurate. An example of how this can happen in a laboratory would be the case when a thermometer has a split mercury. The thermometer might be reading, say, 10° high. If that thermometer was used to control the viscosity bath, all of the viscosities would be reported very high. If we ran those viscosities over and over, we would get very close to the same answer as the precision of the viscosity test is quite good, but the answer would be wrong in all cases. The method would be very precise but not accurate.
What can the specifying engineer do if he wishes to be assured that the actual values lie within a narrower range that can be justified by the confidence limits for a single test? That is quite easy. Run duplicate or higher replicate test and use the average of the replicates. The standard deviation of duplicates on % asphalt is 0.20 rather than 0.28 while the standard deviation for quadruplicates is 0.14. One way replication has been achieved without increasing the testing load is to use running averages of, say, the last five tests. The other way is to use lot sizes of 3-7 samples and use the lot average and range of data.
In the early days specifications were generated that would have a number of different criteria with the pay factor that of the lowest value. This gets expensive. If there are two criteria each with a 5% chance of being out of specification compliance when they were actually in, there is a 10% chance that one or the other will be out of specification compliance thus even though they were actually in specification on both criteria. The pay would be 90%. If there were 5 criteria, the pay would be only 77%. I was on one project in which I calculated that there was only one chance out of 10^15 that the contractor could get full pay on all lots. That case was settled in favor of the contractor just prior to the trial.
When limits are not really limits
Before the introduction of statistical specifications if the specification for, say, % asphalt was 4.5-5.5, an average of 4.4 would be fine. Now 4.5 and 5.5 would be the lower and upper limits for calculating pay factors. An average of 4.4 from a lot size of 4 would have a pay factor of 92% (assuming a standard deviation of 0.28).
These are just brief comments of a complicated but important area of mathematics.

Located adjacent to our 4 star Meath hotel, each of these holiday homes boast three en suite bedrooms, as well as an individual garden terrace area with its own miniature putting green, the perfect place to relax on a warm summers evening.
When you book one of our courtyard holiday homes, you can rest assured that everything will be ready and waiting upon your arrival. Linen is provided, as is a cooker, microwave, vacuum cleaner and central heating.

The perfect fall harvest salad. Full of cranberries, clementines, pecans and bacon! It is a sweet, hearty salad.
I created this fall harvest salad way back in 2016. It seemed perfect to share this fall salad now. I love the mix of cranberries, clementines, pecans and bacon!
This salad is the perfect fall salad. It is a sweet salad that is hearty. When I want to cut down on the sugar in the salad dressing I mix olive oil with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle it with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
Fall Harvest Salad Recipe
Yield: 12 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Fall Harvest Salad Ingredients
6 cups mixed salad greens
4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
2 clementines, segmented
½ cup unsweetened dried cranberries
½ cup pecan pieces
¼ cup shredded carrot
Up to ¾ cup Maple Balsamic Salad Dressing (See below)
How to Make Fall Harvest Salad
- Place salad ingredients in a large bowl, and ½ cup of the salad dressing and toss. If you feel you need more dressing, add up to ¼ cup more, adding it in 1-tablespoon increments.
- Serve immediately or keep salad covered in the refrigerator and add dressing when ready to serve.
Note: To segment clementines, use a paring knife to slice off the top and bottom of each clementine. Cut off all the skin including the exposed membrane of the segments. Use the knife to remove each individual segment, leaving the membrane behind.
Maple Balsamic Dressing
Yield: about ½ cup
Prep Time: 2 minutes
This is a sweet salad dressing that allows maple syrup to be the star. Since it's on the sweet side I only serve it at special occasions.
⅓ cup extra light olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Place all the ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together until combined.
- Store in the fridge until ready to use.
- On the day you plan on using the dressing, check to see if the olive oil has solidified in the fridge. If it has, remove the dressing and allow it to come to room temperature for 20 minutes. Whisk again before serving.
- Keeps up to 3 weeks in the fridge.

Where would the web be without memes? Whether they inspire a chuckle or a groan, memes have become an integral part of the web landscape.
The term was first used by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene in relation to how cultural information spreads, but the concept has since been hijacked by web culture.
According to the Weekly Standard, we are now the meme generation. And by adding them to your content mix, you can easily increase your marketing mojo. Keep reading to learn how.
Image: Frerk Meyer
What's A Meme, Anyway?
Essentially, a meme is a piece of media or text that spreads quickly via blogs, email, social media and forums, often involving humor. This potential virality is what makes memes a great marketing tool.
Memes offer the possibility of staying relevant to your audience's interests while providing something they can share with their networks.
Many of the best memes are image-based, and that's another reason they should form part of your social media strategy.
An Ipsos survey shows that 43% of social media users share pictures online., and memes are part of that mix. Forbes contributor Jayson DeMers predicts huge success for image-based social networks this year and says that businesses need to pay more attention to the "shareability" factor for web images.
And if you're talking shareability, then you're talking memes.
Image: Jonathan Champ
Finding and Following Memes
If you're planning on using memes for marketing, then a good first step is to figure out what memes are already out there. You can do this by:
- checking your social networks (if the same basic image or video is repeated frequently with textual variations, then it's probably a current meme)
- searching for trending topics on the main social media sites, social search engines or Google Trends
- looking at frequently repeated hashtags
Keeping up with current events is another good strategy. Memes often relate to a topical news story (examples from 2013 include #royalbaby, #RIPMandela and, of course, #Government-shutdown). Just as important, know when a meme is no longer relevant and avoid it.
You can check sites that keep a running tally of the latest memes such as Know Your Meme and Memebase.
Know Your Meme is particularly good because it tracks the history of memes, giving you more information when you're ready to create your own. Check out the Conspiracy Keanu and Skeptical Baby pages as examples.
Image: morgantosh
How to Roll Your Own Meme
What if you want to generate your own meme? While you can never guarantee that putting out an image with some humorous text is going to catch on with your core audience you can make the process easier by doing what Hubspot calls memejacking (or hijacking a meme).
As they point out, the advantage of this is that you already know that the content is engaging audiences, that people are linking to it and that it has viral potential.
Check out the meme tracking resources listed above, paying particular attention to trending images and viewing/sharing figures on individual meme pages.
Once you've decided on your meme, then it's time to brainstorm your own take on it. The basis of all image-based memes is the same: a great image and a great slogan.
But beware: There's nothing worse than getting it wrong.
It's important to understand what the meme is all about if you're going to do a riff on it. And it's also important to know how it relates to your brand and what your audience expects. Spend some time on this before you create or share anything.
Image: Know Your Meme
When you're ready, grab the basic image, but beware of copyright issues. (See our guide to finding images online for help with this.) Assuming you have the right to use it, superimpose your text on it using an image editing tool like Gimp or Photoshop.
There are also several web apps to help you quickly create a meme, including Meme Crunch and Quick Meme. Try a Google search for meme generators to grab the latest tools. Again, beware of copyright issues when finding photos online.
If you're really creative and sure of yourself, you can even create your own meme. Maybe someone's said something funny that's constantly quoted around the office or there's a common issue that everyone complains about—that could be the starting point for a completely original meme.
What Happens Next?
Once you have your meme, it's time to share it via social media channels, email marketing newsletters and other marketing channels.
If you're putting the meme on your blog, don't forget to add social sharing buttons (especially a Pinterest button) to make it easier for readers to share it there.
And who knows, if you hit the marketing jackpot, maybe someone else will jack YOUR meme and spread it even more widely.
Finally, here's some meme inspiration to help you with meme marketing:
- Reddit's list of current memes
- Hubspot's Meme-tastic marketing Pinterest board

Patong is the most popular and well-developed beach on Phuket Island. Recognized as one of the world's Top 10 diving sites, Phuket is now Thailand's most important tourist destination, offering a variety of beaches, attractions and exciting nightlife. Patong Beach is a beach on Phuket's west coast. It is the main tourist resort in Phuket and contains the centre of Phuket's nightlife and cheap shopping on the island. The beach became popular with western tourists, especially Europeans, in the late 1980s. Numerous large hotels and chain hotels are located in Patong.
Patong Beach is maybe more famous for its nightlife than the 2-kilometer beach that runs the entire length of Patong. Nightlife is centred on two main areas which are Bangla Road and Paradise Complex. Bangla Road is predominantly straight and Paradise Complex is mostly gay. However, much mixing of the two scenes occurs due to Phuket Island's tolerant nature. Read more: Indochina tours
Especially, Patong's pulsating nightlife never fails to attract curious visitors every evening. Like a magnet, it is hard to resist a wander down Soi Bangla, which is the heart of bar scene where girls, neon lights and loud music will completely get your attention. There are over a hundred bars ranging from beer bars, Go-Go bars, night clubs, pubs. One of the most popular discos in Patong Beach is Banana Disco. It is opened in 1993 and located right on Patong's beachfront, it has an outdoor bar area directly in front of the air-conditioned disco and this area usually has a live band until midnight, which makes it become an ideal venue to sip a cocktail before getting up close and personal inside. In spite of the crowds, Banana Disco rarely has any trouble. Mainly thanks to the efficient bar staffs and strict ID policy that keeps the young out. Furthermore, there is even a metal detector at the entrance. Read more: tours in Thailand
If you have the opportunity to come Patong Beach, you will be impressed by a place which is lit up like Las Vegas. Patong is hopping every night of the week. In here, shops and restaurants stay open late, and there is the never-ending choice of bars, clubs, karaoke lounges, cabaret, massage parlours, go-go bars, discos and various kinds of shows, etc. We make sure that it will be a wonderful experience in your life.

When people get sick, they often start looking online for information about their symptoms and illness.
Sara Del Valle, a scientist and applied mathematician at Los Alamos National Laboratory, says that by training a computer model to analyze the specific health-related pages that users access on Wikipedia, public health experts may be able to identify—and even forecast—outbreaks of diseases such as influenza and Dengue fever.

Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Paul Johnson discusses his Frontiers in Science lecture on Santa Fe Radio Cafe. While large earthquakes have occurred throughout the Earth's history, their number has dramatically increased in the last ten to fifteen years. What is it that makes the earth move under our feet? How is it that earthquakes can cause other earthquakes? Can human activities, such as ʽfracking', also trigger earthquakes? (Full Story)
Frigid matter powers first quantum circuits
Optical tweezers, from Gizmodo.
Move over, electrons – circuits could one day be powered by frigid quantum matter. . . Changhyun Ryu and Malcolm Boshier of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico have found a way to do it. Their circuits are built from two laser beams, one that creates a horizontal sheet of light to act as a circuit board, and another vertical laser that traces out the path of the circuit.
The condensate, which is made from around 4000 cooled rubidium atoms, is trapped inside the beams by the same forces used to create optical tweezers, which can manipulate particles on a small scale. (Full Story)

Efficient method developed to measure residual stress in 3-D printed parts
Amanda Wu using digital image correlation. LLNL photo.
In order to validate their results from DIC, the team collaborated with Los Alamos National Laboratory to perform residual stress tests using a method known as neutron diffraction. This technique, performed by LANL researcher Donald Brown, measures residual stresses deep within a material by detecting the diffraction of an incident neutron beam. The diffracted beam of neutrons enables the detection of changes in atomic lattice spacing due to stress.
Although it's highly accurate, ND is rarely used to measure residual stress because there are only three federal research labs in the U.S.—LANL being one of them—that have the high-energy neutron source required for this analysis. (Full Story)

The Los Alamos computers deployed along the way include the MANIAC II, which started its nearly 20-year service life with over 5,000 vacuum tubes, all of which were replaced over time with circuit boards. Other deployed systems include Stretch, a technological stretch built in collaboration between Los Alamos and IBM, Serial Number 1 of the iconic Cray-1, and a Thinking Machines CM-5, with its lightning bolt footprint and fat-tree interconnect. By 2008 there came Roadrunner, the world's first petaflop supercomputer. (Full Story)

Samsung warns of a challenging 2016 amid competition
[SEOUL] Samsung Electronics Co expects global economic growth to remain weak this year and urged employees to brainstorm ways to handle intensifying competition in an industry where software and platforms are eclipsing hardware.
Kwon Oh Hyun, vice chairman and co-chief executive officer, said products including smartphones, televisions and memory chips will face escalated competition this year. Innovative business models are weakening traditional hardware values and workers must adapt to maintain leadership in an industry changing at its fastest pace ever, he said.
"The territories of industries are collapsing," Mr Kwon said. "We have to compete in a new way that we've never experienced in the past." Executives have preached the need to focus on software for years. Yet Korea's largest listed company and the world's biggest smartphone maker has lagged Apple Inc. in developing mobile-friendly software and a unique platform that can lock in users.
"The competition landscape is changing to software and platforms, so we need to build a new system and competence," Mr Kwon said in a speech distributed to the media.
In a signal of its newfound priorities, Samsung replaced the head of its phone operations in December with an executive - - Koh Dong Jin - who helped create its mobile payment and security platforms.
Mr Koh will work to turn around a division that still leads the world in smartphone sales yet has lost favour with investors.
Samsung lost more than US$8 billion in market value in 2015 as sales of high-end S6 and Note 5 devices sputtered against new models from Apple and Chinese makers. Its shares posted a third straight annual decline last year, dropping 5.1 per cent.
The company is expected to release its preliminary fourth- quarter earnings on Friday. Net income in 2015 is projected to be the lowest profit in four years, according to analyst estimates.

Accidents happen. How long can your business cope without critical information? Business Continuity means fast data recovery and minimizes disruption and losses to your business. Regardless of what has happened, you'll be able to restore your data in no time and continue with business as usual!
Downtime is real, and it's costly. Across all businesses, it's a staggering $163,674 per hour, according to research by the Aberdeen Group. Of course, the exact costs depend on company size: small companies lose approximately $8,581 per hour; medium companies $215,638 per hour; and large enterprises a whopping $686,250 for every hour of downtime. The numbers speak for themselves: failure is not an option!
A Business Continuity Solution from Dorset Connects could easily and affordably solve this problem by providing:

Luckily there are genius bakers in the world who have found nutritious substitutions for us! If you aren't choosing a recipe that's healthy to begin with, try these simple tricks for a healthier version of your favorites. Simply subbing a few of these ingredients can cut calories, fat and cholesterol while upping protein, fiber and nutrients! Wahoo!
- Whole wheat flour instead of white. This will increase fiber and nutrient content
- Smart balance, earth balance or canola oil instead of butter for healthier fat choices
- Another sub for butter can be applesauce, mashed banana or shredded zucchini (as seen in these delish cupcakes!)
- Egg whites or egg substitutes instead of regular eggs for lower fat and cholesterol levels
- Another egg sub is a "flax egg". Combine 1 Tbsp of flax and 3 Tbsp to make each "egg"
- 3/4 cup skim or almond milk with 2 Tbsp of lemon juice for buttermilk
- Skim milk instead of whole milk
- Sugar substitutes or more natural sweeteners such as honey and agave instead of regular sugar
- Light or fat-free cream cheese, yogurt, sour cream and ice cream instead of whole fat
- Plain, fat-free, Greek yogurt over sour cream. Tastes exactly the same! (If not better)
And most importantly..
- Use real, fresh and simple ingredients
Other ways to lighten up desserts? Make them fruity! Choose fruit-based recipes that include your favorites like apples, bananas, berries and more.
If swapping ingredients seems daunting, make recipes that have already been taste-tested and dessert-lover approved. Some of my favorite healthier treats can be found here, here & here. There are also many cookbooks, websites and blogs that focus solely on health(ier) alternatives to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Here are some of my favorite health-conscious websites, linked conveniently to the recipe pages, just for you:
Phew, that should be everything. Personally, I think I've gotten baking out of my system for a while (or for a few days at least). With my first semester of grad school done I hope to use winter break for unique and delish home cooked meals, so stay tuned!
Try ingredient substitutes for your favorite baked goods. They'll provide great taste (I promise!) and healthier alternatives. Just make sure to watch your portion sizes…I see you sneaking back for seconds… 😉

This week's Cosplay Sundae dishes up a cosplayer who takes her play pretty seriously – going so far as to even reproduce her in-game mode of transport! After all, walking is for sissies isn't it!? ;)
The character just by the way is KOS-MOS, one of the integral players in the ever popular Xenosaga video game series. KOS-MOS is an armoured android developed by the interstellar conglomerate Vector Industries. Equipped with a "Simulated Personality OS" and a tendency to put logic and probability first above all else makes her apparently pretty difficult to manage at times.
That said, most woman DON'T put logic and probability first and they STILL remain difficult to manage at the best of times! :P

Texts: Isaiah 49:1-7 • Psalm 40:1-11 • 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 • John 1:29-42
Because we live over 750 miles apart, I had not seen my mother for several months. We were fortunate to attend a conference where I was working and she was a participant. We arranged to get together for dinner and decided the easiest thing to do would be to meet in the hotel lobby and go from there to a restaurant.
As I exited the elevator of the hotel and turned toward the lobby, I walked right past mom. Although she was looking for me, and I for her, we failed to recognize one another in the teeming crowd of conference-goers. Flesh of flesh and blood of blood, having spent the first 18 years of my life living under the same roof with this woman, and we walked right by each other! It wasn't until I bumped into someone else that I knew in the lobby who said they had just seen mom standing close to the elevators, that we finally saw each other. Even though we were looking, we had trouble seeing.
This week's texts are about recognition, seeing Jesus for who he is. In fact, this whole season following Christmas, known in church lingo as "epiphany," a word that means "manifestation" or "appearance," is a time when we grapple with the reality of God on earth in human form.
The search for the recognizable Savior is central to the text from John's gospel. Variations of the words "see" and "know" appear throughout these 14 verses. John is searching for the promised one, and finds him as the Lamb of God, Jesus. It is the Spirit of God in the form of a dove that draws John's attention to Jesus and causes him to see Jesus for who he is. Like my friend in the lobby directing me to my mom, the dove points John to Jesus.
The first part of recognition then is seeing, becoming aware of the person and presence that is in front of us. The second part is the action, responding to what we see and who we know. For John, that response included telling others what he had seen, and sharing with them the significance of this event. Testimony is the word that is often used to describe the act of telling what we have seen and experienced.
Scripture at its core is a book of testimony. Through its variety of literary genres and authors, it tells how God cares for and interacts with the world and humanity. It is a story to be repeated, a testimony to share. In the Psalms, David declares, "I have not hidden your saving help within my heart, I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation." (Psalm 40:10)
In the Corinthian text, the apostle Paul is affirming the ways in which the testimonies of those who follow Jesus strengthen the Corinthian community. "I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 1:4-7)
There is great continuity among these testimonies of David, Paul, the Corinthians, and John. The connector is the object of their activity: God extended through Jesus is the central figure of the stories they tell. As they tell the stories of Jesus, they direct others, such as the disciples, their community members, and unbelieving neighbors, to focus on the long-awaited Lord and Messiah. They point to Jesus so that others may see him.
When we give our testimony, what do others see? Who has been sharing stories in your life that point you toward Jesus? What do you have to say today that will help others recognize that Jesus is right there with them?

- Open the eyes of my heart Paul Baloche, ©1997
- I love to tell the story Hankey & Fischer, 1869
There is a classic scene in the film Patch Adams in which Patch is challenged by a fellow patient to look beyond what was obviously in front of him and tell how many fingers were being held up. Patch showed that he had a clarity of sight that saw what others often overlooked. The clip can be viewed here: http://www.wingclips.com/movie-clips/patch-adams/what-do-you-see
May God,
who comes to us
in the things of this world,
bless your eyes
and be in your seeing.
May Christ,
who looks upon you
with deepest love,
bless your eyes
and widen your gaze.
May the Spirit,
who perceives what is
and what may yet be,
bless your eyes
and sharpen your vision.
May the Sacred Three
bless your eyes
and cause you to see.

Guthrie Govan has been playing guitar for as long as he can remember: he played his first gig at the age of five, appeared on UK national TV four years later and subsequently went on to win the 1993 "Guitarist of the Year" contest sponsored by the leading UK magazine Guitarist. (More recently, the July 2011 issue of Guitar Player magazine ran a cover story on Guthrie's playing.)
He has recorded and toured extensively with acts ranging all the way from melodic rock (Asia) to jazz fusion (The Fellowship) and electronica (The Young Punx.)
Guthrie has worked as a transcriber for Guitar Techniques magazine since 1994, covering the playing of pretty much everyone from Hank Marvin to Shawn Lane. He has also taught at various noted guitar schools in the UK, such as ACM and BIMM, and his clinic tours for Suhr guitars and Rotosound strings have taken him to all manner of unusual locations. (He's particularly proud of the Kazakhstan work permit in his passport...)
Guthrie's debut solo album Erotic Cakes was released in 2006. This eclectic collection of guitar instrumentals was widely acclaimed - inspiring Joe Satriani to deliver the verdict "freakin' awesome!"
He regularly works with the sample recreation company Replay Heaven, as a result of which his guitar and bass work has graced hit singles by the likes of Sonny J, the Sugababes, Cee Lo Green and Dizzee Rascal. He has also toured extensively with Dizzee, performing in arenas and festivals throughout the UK.
Guthrie was recently invited to appear on Lee Ritenour's Six String Theory project: his re-working of the track Fives (featuring Vinnie Colaiuta, Tal Wilkenfeld and Larry Goldings) is featured alongside contributions from the likes of Steve Lukather, George Benson and B.B. King.
He is currently touring and recording with The Aristocrats, new a rock-fusion power trio featuring bassist Bryan Beller (Mike Keneally, Steve Vai, Dethklok) and drummer Marco Minnemann (UKZ, Paul Gilbert, Adrian Belew, Necrophagist.)
Another solo album is rumoured to be in the works, though no one seems quite sure when it might actually be released. Watch this space!
