"World War Z" is going to be getting a healthy dose of the Grammy-winning band Muse. Not only will two of the band's songs be featured in the film, but Muse will also perform at the movie's upcoming London premiere.
Paramount Pictures has revealed that two tracks from Muse's album "The 2nd Law," which debuted in 2012, will be featured in the movie. Muse has been featured prominently in a film before, as the band also had a big presence in "Twilight" back in 2008.
As part of their collaboration with "World War Z," Muse will also be performing after the London premiere of the film on June 2. Tickets for the live event will go on sale on May 28 at 9 a.m. BST. The concert will take place at Horse Guards Parade Ground at St. James's Park.
This isn't the first time the folks behind "World War Z" have tried to include fans in the movie's promotion. Star Brad Pitt recently surprised viewers with an early screening of "World War Z" in New Jersey because it was a location featured in the film.
"I said OK but we can't do it without showing it to the people we made the film for," Pitt said. "We got to do a screening for the fans, so we decided there's no better place to do that than Jersey."
Are you glad Muse has partnered with "World War Z"? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter!
Brad Pitt surprised fans in Hoboken, New Jersey two nights ago with a screening of his epic zombie flick, "World War Z." The actor wanted to throw a screening for the people that he made the movie for in the first place, so he decided to bring the film to New Jersey, one of the locations featured in "World War Z."
"I said OK but we can't do it without showing it to the people we made the film for," Pitt said. "We got to do a screening for the fans, so we decided there's no better place to do that than Jersey."
MTV Geek had a man on the ground for the screening, and he was able to see the movie and the fan reaction first hand. Head over there now to see how it all went down!
Jon Favreau directed a partially live-action ad for Bungie's follow-up to the "Halo" series, "Destiny." It's really cool, and we haven't even mentioned the cameo from Giancarlo "Gus Fring" Esposito.
Also, lots and lots of "Return of the Jedi" stuff in today's Dailies!

There are only a handful of ways to experience the world of "Star Wars" for yourself, but most of them are pretty lame. You could buy a replica lightsaber, but it won't actually work. You could go to Disney World, but that Darth Vader is someone's nephew and will probably break into dance before long.
But for the 30th anniversary of the folks over at LEGO gave MTV Geek a chance to get close to an X-Wing that's as big of as the real thing... but you know, made out of LEGOs.
Fun fact: The entire thing took more than 5.3 million individual bricks to build and weighs (internal steel skeleton included) 46,000 pounds.

With the release Elijah Wood's first-person horror film "Maniac" only a month away, a new trailer for the project has premiered. It sets the mood of the story without giving too much of the plot away, and teases the type of scares the movie will deliver.
"Maniac" follows Wood as the "withdrawn owner of a mannequin store" whose urge to kill increases when he meets a young artist named Anna, played by Nora Arnezeder. The remake of the 1980 film of the same name already premiered at Cannes in 2012 and made the rounds in Europe earlier this year. It's earned generally positive reviews, and will be given a limited release in the US on June 21 and will also be released via VOD.
When MTV News caught up with Wood at the Sundance Film Festival, he teased how the first person perspective of the movie will work. "You only ever see me in reflections and occasionally there are out-of-body experiences where you see more of me," he said.
As for the fact it's a remake, Wood explained, "I normally don't love the notion of remakes. I've said that I'm averse to it, especially in horror films. But the approach was so different and so unique that I was really intrigued. It was fun."
Do you plan on checking out "Maniac" when it gets released? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter.
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of "Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi" (May 25th), we are celebrating all things Ewok. For those readers new to the "Star Wars" universe, the Ewoks are tiny tree-dwelling creatures who assist in the film's climactic battle between the good guys (the Rebel Alliance) and bad guys (the Empire) — on the good side, of course.
As a part of our celebration, the folks at Next Movie put together a handy infographic that can function as your quick guide to Ewoks.
Check it out after the jump!
The most prominent Ewok in "Jedi" is Wicket W. Warrick, played by a then-eleven-year-old Warwick Davis. Davis, who has also appeared in the "Harry Potter" films as Griphook and Professor Flitwick, worked with "Star Wars" creator George Lucas again on the 1988 film "Willow" and spoke with MTV News earlier this year, before the Blu-ray release of that film.
"[Lucas] has always been really good to me as far as my career goes," Davis said. "I mean he gave me my big break in 1981 – I wouldn't have a career, I wouldn''t be talking to you, if it hadn't been for him."
This summer, Davis will host Star Wars Celebration Europe in Essen, Germany. "These events are huge," said the actor. "Never underestimate the power of the Force."
Stick with MTV News throughout the weekend for all of our coverage of the "Return of the Jedi" anniversary.

This weekend sees the sixth (sixth!) installment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise hit theaters (and it's not the last — a seventh is set for next summer). The action series received a blast of adrenaline in the form of Dwayne Johnson with 2011's "Fast Five," and "Fast & Furious 6" promises to be just as, well, fast and furious thanks to the big guy's return (and that's saying something, since there are quite a few "big guys" — sorry Vin Diesel!). Here are seven things you may or may not have known about Johnson and his 18-inch biceps below:
1) He has a degree in criminology: And a criminal record. In fact, Johnson elected to get a degree in the field partly due to his shady past. "I struggled to stay on the right path," he told the Examiner. "I had multiple arrests by the time that I was 17. The last time I was arrested, my parents came down to the police station to get me. My parents were struggling at that time, even to put food on the table. That was a lot of stress at that time and I was adding to it. "
2) He made his acting debut on "That '70s Show": Though "The Mummy Returns" was Johnson's entrance onto the big screen, he previously played Rocky Johnson (that is, his own father) on a 1999 episode of "That '70s Show" and also appeared on an episode of "Star Trek: Voyager" as "The Champion."
3) He became a pro wrestler only after he was rejected by the Canadian Football League: Johnson was actually a stellar football player in high school, earning a scholarship to the University of Miami, only to be sidelined by a shoulder injury. After playing a short while in the CFL, he was cut from the team and decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a wrestler.
4) He still holds the rights to his nickname, "The Rock," but prefers to be called by his real name now that he's an actor: "I no longer am a wrestler," he told Entertainment Magazine in 2006. "I am now pursuing a future as an actor and someday as a director. I am not The Rock. I am Dwayne Johnson."
5) He holds a Guinness World Record: Thanks to "The Scorpion King." Johnson was paid $5.5 million to appear in the film, the most any actor has ever received in their first starring role.
6) His grandfather was a Bond villain: And Johnson hopes to play one someday as well. Peter Fanene Maivia appeared as a ne'er-do-well car driver in "You Only Live Twice." Here's hoping Johnson gets a more high-profile role. YOLO!
Will you check out Fast & Furious 6 this weekend?
Sometimes it takes an enormous drug deal to bring a family together.That's the premise of "We're The Millers," a new comedy starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston as the patriarch and matriarch of a fake family assembled to smuggle a large amount of marijuana back into the United States.
The first NSFW red band trailer for the "We're the Millers" just dropped, and it already looks like one of the more promising comedies scheduled to hit theaters this summer. Sudeikis and Aniston are likely looking to repeat their suggest from "Horrible Bosses," and the raunchy trailer looks like it should please audiences craving some R-rated fun.
Take a look at the full NSFW red band trailer after the jump!
"We're The Millers" opens in theaters on August 9.

Welcome to the Dailies, where the MTV Movies team runs down all the film and television news, odds and ends that are fit to print! From awesome fan art to obscure casting news, this is your place to feast on all the movie leftovers you didn't know you were hungry for.
A new book, "The Making of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" by J.W. Rinzler, is hitting shelves just in time for the 30th anniversary of "Episode VI," and in the lead-up to the book's release, the Huffington Post has posted a fascinating excerpt.
The passage comes from a transcript taken from a 1981 story meeting held by George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, director Richard Marquand and producer Howard Kazanjian. During the conversation, Lucas fills in the backstory of Darth Vader in order to help the rest of the team craft an appropriate ending for the fallen Jedi.
What's so interesting about the conversation is how closely it matches the story from the prequel films, decades before they reached theaters, and how Lucas' explanation differs in other respect. For example, Lucas breaks down the relationship between the Emperor and Vader, essentially beat-for-beat from the prequels, but he explains how Yoda is more of a guru and a teacher and less of a full fledged Jedi knight, who is not ever supposed to fight.
This little factoid about non-fighting Yoda catches Kasdan completely off-guard, and you might be just as surprised to see that back in 1981, George Lucas hadn't besmirched the sanctity of the Force by basing its potency within a person on a midi-chlorian count. The "Star Wars" creator compares the Force to yoga, saying that anyone can tap into its power if they take the time to practice, like the Jedi. And to think, we were that close to never hearing about midi-chlorians.
Head over to the Huffington Post to check out the transcript from the "Return of the Jedi" story meeting.
The last time Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn went to Cannes together, they brought "Drive," the movie that won the director's prize at the festival and found a avid fan base in the states—and one person who was expecting a "Fast and Furious" rip-off.
They returned this year with the similarly stylish and violent "Only God Forgives." The trailers and clips have had "Drive" fans eager to see what would come next from the star and director duo, but the early reviews out of Cannes aren't as kind as they were for their last effort. While, "Only God Forgives" certainly has its fans, this may not be the movie that "Drive" fans were hoping for.
Read what the critics are saying after the jump!
"While many will surely argue that this is all at the expense of story, there is enough of one here to keep things moving, even if barely, and Kristin Scott Thomas is everything she's advertised to be. Get ready, the most badass art film ever is coming your way." —Ryland Aldrich, Twitch
"The wallpaper emotes more than Ryan Gosling does in 'Only God Forgives,' an exercise in supreme style and minimal substance from "Drive" director Nicolas Winding Refn.... As hyper-aggressive revenge fantasies go, it's curious to see one so devoid of feeling, a veniality even 'Drive' fans likely won't be inclined to forgive." —Peter Debruge, Variety
"A mesmerisingly moody and stylishly violent crime drama, Nicolas Winding Refn's film fairly drips with tangible menace and a pervading sense of dread, and while perhaps too bloody to attract substantial mainstream audiences (or young fans of star Ryan Gosling) its sheer sense of cinematic control, gripping sound design and its artistic look will find willing viewers who buy into its sheer elegance and razor-edge drama." —Mark Adams, Screen Daily
"The skeletal narrative mixes martial arts action with sexually loaded mother-son conflict that makes superficial nods to Shakespeare and Greek tragedy. Even more than the Danish director's previous film, this one has way more style than subtext, not that it's likely to diminish its cultish allure for avid genre fans." —David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
em>"If one wants to root around for depth it is there, I suppose. Gosling, the Son, is a redeemer through his shred of dignity. But Chang, ruthless and all powerful, is perhaps on the side of right. But just as only God may forgive, only stoners who are blown away by gruesome violence and Cliff Martinez scores will have any interest in parsing this tale. The rest won't be quite so forgiving." —Jordan Hoffman, Film.com
"Only God Forgives" hits theaters and VOD on July 19.
The unfortunate souls that didn't make it into Hall H for the big unveiling of Guillermo del Toro's monsters-versus-robots battle royale, "Pacific Rim," missed out on an explanation of a key detail that is sure to give the movie a lot of its emotional heft.
Trailers for "Pacific Rim" show two suited pilots at the controls of the skyscraper-tall jaegers that battle the invading kaiju, which caused some people to ask why there needed to be more than one and even some accusations of cheap plot devices. In reality, the two-person team exists because of the enormity of the machine they're controlling.
As a new featurette (via IGN) explains, the neural bridge made to pilot the jaeger reveals the entire content of one person's brain to the other, in order to completely synchronize the two. We see in some footage that early experiments with one pilot ended badly, thus the two-pilot system was born.
"Pacific Rim" opens in theaters on July 12.
The first US trailer for Edgar Wright's "The World's End" fills us in a little more on what to expect from the final installment in the Three Flavour Cornetto Trilogy, which also included "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz." And that is robots, apparently.
The new preview (via Yahoo! Movies) plays out like the several we've seen from the UK. A group of friends reunite after years apart to complete the 12-bar pub crawl that they couldn't finish in their younger years. The group is led by a greasy-looking Simon Pegg, and includes Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, and Eddy Marsan.
The biggest revelation from this new trailer is that it's robots that have taken over the gang's hometown. Earlier trailers have shown the invaders with light pouring from their eyes and mouths, but what at first looked like aliens are identified as robots in the US trailer.

With the premiere of "Part III" in theaters tomorrow, the epic saga of "The Hangover" will come to a close. The comedy franchise launched the careers of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis and countless in-jokes about Wolfpacks and questions about why they're called ruffies.
The "Hangover" movies have also inspired their fair share of spoof videos, including this latest one from the folks over at Next Movie. What would happen if a group of toddlers had one wild night and did whatever they wanted? The answer is pretty adorable.
Check out the video above!
"The Hangover Part III" opens in theaters tomorrow, May 23.
The new trailer for Disney's "The Lone Ranger" packs in even more CGI action than the previous previews. How is everyone feeling about this one? Is it a new "Pirates" or are we looking at "John Carter 2"?

The entire gaming community was anticipating today's big announcement from Microsoft, which unveiled its new Xbox One gaming console, but the project that has everyone talking was one that no one saw coming.
As a part of their big presentation, Microsoft announced a "Halo" television series that will be produced by Steven Spielberg. The sci-fi action franchise has seemed poised for live-action adaptation since it first hit shelves in 2001, but this is the first time fans will get to see the Spartans outside of a few well-produced ads.
Learn more after the jump!
There's no word on how this series will be brought to your screen. One of the biggest aspects of the Xbox One that Microsoft touted during its hour-long press conference today was the easy of switching between gaming and live television with the use of your voice and Kinnect.
It's possible that Xbox One will offer original video content similar to Netflix, meaning that you would have to be an Xbox Live subscriber in order to watch the "Halo" television series.
The series is being described a "premium" programming, which essentially means that they're going to spend some money making. This isn't exactly surprising to anyone familiar with the games, since the action takes place on other worlds and includes battle against alien species.
This is the second highest profile "Halo" project to date. The first, Peter Jackson's feature film that would have been directed by future "District 9" helmer Neill Blomkamp, failed to get off the ground due to studio turmoil.

Lars von Trier had his actors get down and dirty in his new sexually charged movie "Nymphomaniac." Fans can expect to see the film's stars like Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman and Stellan Skarsgard take part in graphic sex scenes with one another when the film finally hits theaters.
Except they won't actually be having sex, as it turns out. The Hollywood Reporter learned from the film's producer, Louise Vesth, that von Trier actually shot two separate versions of the sex scenes: one featuring the actors, and the other featuring body doubles actually having sex. The director now plans to "use digital technology to combine the actors' non-explicit displays with the pornographic performance of the doubles," THR reports.
"We shot the actors pretending to have sex and then had the body doubles, who really did have sex, and in post we will digital-impose the two," Vesth said. "So above the waist it will be the star and the below the waist it will be the doubles."
This is the reason why "Nymphomaniac" wasn't ready to be presented at the Cannes Film Festival or any other festival on the circuit. It's an interesting move to have the sex scenes be composites, but at least we can be sure that there will be some crazy ridiculous lovemaking in this upcoming movie.
Are you intrigued by von Trier's plan to make the sex scenes seem real? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter!
"The Last Stand," Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to his role as a leading man action star, hits Blu-ray and DVD today, so we're bringing you this exclusive look at a featurette from the disc. If you've ever seen how Schwarzenegger talks about his movies, especially the "Total Recall" audio commentary, you know how fun it can be.
Also, to celebrate the release, we spoke with Schwarzenegger's co-star Jaimie Alexander, who explained what it was like to watch herself in an action movie alongside the legend.
Check out our interview with Jaimie Alexander after the jump!

I've said it before, but this probably the most fun I've ever had on a set. We all would eat lunch together every day. We just had such a great crew and cast. I wish there could be a sequel.
Is it different watching yourself in an action movie?
With me in action films, I feel like the focus isn't directly on me as an actress. It's more about what's going on around me. When I watch it, I'm not as critical of myself. I'm more like, "Whoa, that was crazy." When I see something that I've done, like a drama or a comedy, it's like crickets. I get nervous because I'm front and center. I only watch myself when I have to go to the premiere. I don't own any of my own movie or anything. I don't know if that's weird or very Johnny Depp of me to say, but that's the truth.
How about watching yourself next to Arnold Schwarzenegger?
It was pretty cool. I have four brothers, and seeing it through them and seeing how excited they were. We all grew up watching Arnold's movies. He's very much a hero to us and an idol. I couldn't believe when I signed onto this. I just thought, "Holy crap. I'm doing an action film with Arnold Schwarzenegger." I have all of his movies from when I was a kid. It was one of those moments when I first met him. I was thinking, "Don't say anything dumb. Don't do anything weird." I was kind of nervous, and he's just a really nice guy. He's got a crazy sense of humor, and he's genuinely himself. I just appreciated that so much.
Was there anything in the movie that made you think "I can't believe I did that"?
There's a scene that was kind of cut together where you couldn't quite see what happened or how I got into the Suburban, but he spins the Suburban in a 360, and I have to literally jump into the Suburban, hanging onto Zach Gilford's leg. I thought, "Schwarzenegger's driving this, and I'm jumping in, and this is really epic." I did all of my own stunts on that movie. I think it was more of an ego thing because I wanted to show Schwarzenegger that I could do it. The man jumped off a building and when through three awnings. That was him. He's 65. If he can do that, I'm jumping in this Suburban.
"The Last Stand" hits Blu-ray and DVD today!
It's pretty safe to say that the people portrayed in the true-life drama, "The Bling Ring," don't exactly have their priorities in line. The movie, which is tearing it up in Cannes right now, tells the story of a group of L.A.-based teens who want to live the life of a celebrity, so they do the next best thing by breaking into their homes.
A new clip from "The Bling Ring" gives us a unique look inside the psyches of these criminally dubious teens via their dream board.
Check out the clip and find out what the girls like about Angelina Jolie after the jump!
"The Bling Ring" opens in theaters on June 14.
What did you think of the new clip from "The Bling Ring"? Are you excited to see Emma Watson go bad? Let us know in the comments below and on Twitter!
In the seven years that "Arrested Development" has been off the air, a lot must have happened to the hilarious and perpetually destructive Bluth family. Or not. The show is called "Arrested Development" after all.
But since seven years is a long time regardless of how arrested the development of the Bluth is, MTV News sat down with the cast of the cult TV show to see what everyone has been up to since the last time that we visited with the family.
"Arrested Development" returns on Netflix this coming Sunday, May 26.

In an email Oct 5, 2012 to the Karnes County clerk, County Judge Barbara Shaw has cancelled all Criminal County Courts until Jan 2013 in her continuing fight with the County Attorney Bob Busselman. As of this date she has yet to notify the county attorney or his office. County Judge Shaw is demanding that he fire Assistant County Attorney Betty Yarter which he has flatly refused to do. Judge Shaw wants to hire Ross Fisher to be the County Prosecutor at a cost to Karnes County of $1250 per day plus expenses. Bob Busselman has told Judge Shaw that he will not agree to that, period. What this does is add more backlog to county cases, keeps prisoners in jail till Jan 2013 at huge costs to the county and denies those prisoners and others with a case before the court of due process of law, and also makes Karnes County liable for legal action. In my opinion, this is also a very serious breach of judicial ethics, and a lack of honesty, integrity and professionalism on the part of Judge Shaw. This isn't junior high school, and as Judge Korzekwa, told Judge Shaw and the Commissioners Court, "You all need to take the pacifiers out of your mouth and start acting like adults."

Memory Foam Matresses
We stock a range of memory foam mattresses, in most common bed sizes. To see the mattresses currently in stock at Cushy, simply navigate using the categories bar on the site. If you cannot see the mattress you want, please contact our friendly and helpful customer services team, who may be able to order one in for you.
Memory foam mattresses work by springing back into their original shape after the sleeper has left them. Because of this, every night's sleep is like sleeping on a brand new mattress, with all the support that implies.
It is important to know that the memory foam mattresses you choose are right for you. Not everyone likes the same thickness or hardness of mattress – and in some cases, specific back or neck conditions may require qualified medical advice. Please feel free to come to our premises in Deansgate to try out your mattress before you buy.

This time the trip was at the request of my eldest son, Michael, who wanted to repeat one we had made about eight years ago. He also wanted to make it a ride on American-made motorcycles - you know the ones I mean - and also it had to be a camping trip.
In addition, he wanted to plant a foot in Oregon, and that is a long way to go.
Now when it comes to events, we are both adherents to the five "P" system - Proper Planning Promotes Premium Performance - and his request had been put in a year ago. This gave us
adequate time to check that our wives would still be in residence after a longish parting, and that we could put together the right gear to sustain us.Now camping can always be a risky business for the unprepared. In the normal way, involving vehicles with four wheels or more, you just load up all the things you need, and there's always a little more space in the vehicle for one last necessity, like the remote for the small flat-screen.
But with motorcycle camping, there is no room for those little extras, and everything has to either be in the saddle bags or bungeed down to the frame. Over-use of this simple device can make the entire rig look like a two-wheeled version of the "Beverly Hillbillies" jalopy, minus granny on top in her rocker, of course.
Some years ago, I heard someone say that in camping, one spends 50 percent of one's time trying to be as comfortable as one is at home. But with a motorcycle there is no room for the Barcolounger on the pillion seat or across the gas tank.
On the last trip, I was admonished for playing the age card as I had insisted on an inflatable bed, but I noted on this trip Michael also wanted one. Good fathers do not mention the last time's teasing, of
course, and so I let it pass.This time, I also wanted a fold-out chair, as one's nether regions can become quite sore with many hours in the saddle and with only a hard picnic bench available in the evenings.
Next week, I shall give you a short account of the trip itself that we took, but suffice it to say we returned safe and sound from eight days on the road and six nights under canvas. (We opted for a hotel stay once.)
The first night was as usual the premium testing zone, and we did not add to the tension by cooking, which is a usual enjoyment on one of our trips.
We had made it up to just beyond San Luis Obispo and found a camp site not too close to the main road - traffic can be a nuisance when trying to sleep in unaccustomed surroundings, and being well-rested before another day of wrestling the handlebars is paramount. I recommend earplugs to keep out the unaccustomed sounds of too much dawn chirping and tweeting.
Nonetheless we ordered in and got our campfire going. Now I don't mind letting you into a little secret. Although a bit of a purist, I believe the invention of the paraffin log to be one of the camper's finest boons. They're quick, efficient, easy to light, and they last just the right amount of time - about three hours.
As night closed around us, we enjoyed our evening and were now embarked on the usual campfire activity; that of telling lies and embellishing old stories. It was one of those tales
that caused me to lean back a trifle too heavily on my fold-out chair. It broke! Ha ha!I had heavily invested about $10 in this piece of defective engineering, so I was not too put out, but used the moment to wander over to my tent to inflate the pillow I had brought along. It insultingly blew back on my face as I blew into it. The valve had perished. No matter, a bundle of clothes would suffice.
Laughing to Michael that bad things mostly come in threes, I then checked my beloved inflatable mattress. After a full pumping, silently, and with a certain malevolence, it had gently let the air out again and I was destined to spend a night on the hard ground. Ha ha again!
A day's long ride had tired me out sufficiently to let me sleep however, and next week I will share some of the momentous sights that we enjoyed on the way to Oregon and back.

Motorists on pace to spend a record sum at the pump
The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S. this year never reached the highs seen in 2008, when the all-time record of $4.114 was reached. The 2012 average never even climbed as high as it was last year, when it hit $3.965, according to the Energy Department.
But fuel prices have been so consistently high in 2012 that American motorists are on pace to spend more on gasoline this year – $483 billion, or $1.32 billion a day – than they ever have before, according to the Oil Price Information Service in New Jersey.
That would break the old record for the amount of money spent by Americans on gasoline, set last year, by about $12 billion. That's in spite of the fact that the U.S. average topped out this year at $3.941 a gallon back in April.

Vegan Spicy Mixed Nuts
Posted in Appetizers, Baking, Party Food, Recipes, Skinny Bitch | No Comments »
Always a crowd pleaser, this recipe is one of my faves for parties, holidays, trivia nights, etc. It comes from Skinny Bitch in the Kitch, the absolute most hilarious cookbook you'll ever read, which also happens to be packed with a wide variety of tasty vegan stuff!
The heat of these nuts is perfectly complemented by the sweetness. If you're not big on spice though, keep your distance. They do have a kick!
In the book, the bitches leave specific instructions not to eat the entire batch in one sitting. They ain't kiddin'. I'll take it one step further and challenge you to eat just one. I am confident you will not succeed.
Vegan Spicy Mixed Nuts
Recipe Courtesy of Skinny Bitch in the Kitch
1 1/2 tsp Ener-G egg replacer
2 tbs warm water
1 lb roasted, salted mixed nuts
1/3 cup evaporated cane sugar
2 tsp kosher or other coarse salt
1 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
- Preheat oven to 250° F
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg replacer and water until foamy. Add the nuts and toss to coat. Transfer the nuts to a strainer and let drain for at least 2 minutes
- Meanwhile, wipe out the bowl and combine the sugar, salt and cayenne. Add the nuts, tossing to coat. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes
- Stir with a spatula and spread the nuts out again. Reduce the oven to 200°F and bake another 30 minutes, or until dry
- The nuts will crisp as they cool to room temperature
- Thoroughly cooled, they can be stored for up to one week in an airtight container
Note:I use a premium mixed nuts mix from Whole Foods when I make this. It's almonds, cashews, pecans, brazil nuts and hazelnuts. It makes for a really pretty mix…but we always find ourselves picking out the cashews and pecans. The next time I make this, I may just buy 1/2 lb of each of those and go all in. Use whatever you like best!

PILOT MOUNTAIN — The East Surry girls took first place in every event and second in all but one Tuesday in a tri-meet conference swim meet against North Surry and South Stokes at home.
The girls' score ended East Surry scoring 152, North Surry 51 and South Stokes 43. North Surry won the boys' competition scoring 107 to South Stokes' 73 and East Surry's 40.
East Surry Head Coach Leah Tunstall said, "Overall the girls swam very well. We are getting over that time handle on determining the best lineup."
Tunstall said Tuesday night was a great accomplishment and is always happy with backing up first place with second, third and fourth wins.
"The times for the girls were great tonight and that goal was met," said Tunstall.
The only event in which the team did not get first or second place was in the 200 Freestyle. "Teamwork was happening with the Lady Cards swim team in this meet," the coach added.
This is the last swim meet for the Cardinals before the holidays, and the team enters the holiday break with the girls 3-1 and the boys 0-4.
There are only four boys swimmers on the roster for the Cardinals. Tunstall said, individually the boys are swimming good and their times are great for where they are in the season.
"At the end of the day, it is individual in the men's." Christopher Holshouser won first Tuesday for the Cardinal boys in the 200 Free, 100 Free, and 200 Medley.
Tunstall said last season, the Cardinals lost a big group and looks for more to sign up in the future.
"It would be great to have more depth, we are used to having that but we got four and that is what we will go with" and she said she is happy with the improvements in the boys' times.
The only team the East Surry girls have lost to so far is Mount Airy, Tunstall said.
"We are shaping up well for the Jan. 3 meet which will be sharper as the season progresses and the conference records are defined," she said.
North Surry Head Coach Ashley Taylor said about her boys' team success and girls' as well, "I am very proud of my swimmers. Their strokes are improving and their dedication and hard work showed tonight."

SIMPACK Kinematics and Dynamics
SIMPACK Kinematics and Dynamics is the basic foundation of SIMPACK. Here is the heart of the Software - SIMPACK's outstanding solver. All other modules and interfaces can be added on to SIMPACK's Kinematics and Dynamics.
General Features
- Basic module of SIMPACK
- Visual 3D model set-up
- SIMPACK time domain solver
- Eigen value solver
- Animation and plot tools
- Extensive libraries for joints, springs, dampers, friction, etc.
- Integrated Database handling
The 3 SIMPACK core modules
1. Preprocessor
The model set-up is an easy starting point for those new to SIMPACK and, at the same time, offers complete control to advanced users.
Extensive modeling libraries support the user to rapidly create a model. Any type of joint, marker or force element (standard or user-defined), can be easily incorporated within the model. Use of a mouse enables the user to work interactively with the 3D representation. This not only saves time in setting up and modifying models but also reduces modeling errors.
The 3D graphical representation of a model can, as well as being completely set up within SIMPACK, created within CAD packages and then imported into SIMPACK.
3D animations of the results can also be easily created. Any multi-body model, once created within SIMPACK, can be exported as FORTRAN or C code. This allows SIMPACK models to be used in other simulation environments, making SIMPACK models ideal for hardware-in-the-loop and real-time applications.
2. Solver
Once the multi-body model has been set-up, the solver automatically creates the equations of motion.
The equations of motion set up by the SIMPACK solver are based upon unique algorithms. When the number of the degrees of freedom of a multi-body model increases, calculation effort increases only linearly rather then following a quadratic or even a cubic function.
This and the high performance integration methods enable SIMPACK to minimise calculation times, which has been demonstrated in countless benchmark tests. Carefully chosen default parameters guarantee secure and efficient integration of almost any model.
Additionally SIMPACK gives access to a large number of parameters allowing experienced users to tune the solver for complex systems.
Another key quality of the SIMPACK solver is the reliability and stability. Even challenging contact problems showing strong non-linearity, e.g. wheels losing and regaining contact can be easily solved.
Apart from the time integration, the SIMPACK solver also comprises of calculation methods for static equilibria, used to automatically determine pre-load forces for a given model state. The standard solver can also be used to perform an eigen value analysis, as well as for additional frequency domain calculation methods found in the SIMPACK NVH.
3. Postprocessor
The 3D model may be easily animated within SIMPACK by using the results of a frequency analysis or integration run. Specific aspects of the animation may be readily investigated using fixed and moved cameras. Furthermore SIMPACK can generate films of the animations, which are often necessary for presentations.
A significant amount of time in detecting modelling errors may be saved with the help of SIMPACK's animations.
In addition to using animations, for investigating dynamic or kinematic behaviour, a user may also plot or export (e.g. ascii to excel) all corresponding numerical data.
Whether working within the time domain or frequency domain, SIMPACK's plot templates, along with curve import and overlay capability, enables fast and comprehensive data comparisons. (Re-running integrations are not necessary in SIMPACK when adding additional sensors to a model).
Plot data may be further analysed by using SIMPACK's extensive library of filters and curve superimposition features.

OK, so I'm going to admit it. American guests can be a little more demanding than the average Rigaud client and the NY crowd don't always understand the limitations of our rural French community. So when we took a booking from a Brooklyn bride with roots in the fashion and photography industries it was not without stress that we get things absolutely right.
The bride and groom both come from high profile, creative backgrounds and have a very clear idea of how things should look. The flower brief referenced our all time favourite flower blog, the Brooklyn based Saipua. This inspirational blog comes from hottest flower shop in the hippest city on the planet, so being asked to deliver what they do was no walk in Central Park. From the images here you can see that Hayley came through the scared "Help!" phase and did us proud!
There were some crazy moments over the weekend. The temperatures were into the 30's, causing the suited groom to wilt a little so we popped him into the walk in fridge for ten minutes to relax and "chill". When the bride made her stunning appearance, thirty five minutes behind schedule, the heavens opened and the wedding party were forced to take shelter in the chateau, but this gave her the ten minutes of calm that she needed before floating down the aisle to the notes of the Kora, an African Harp, which was a first for the Rigaud lawns.
Chefs Steve Carss and new to the team, Rupert Craddock, produced an incredible meal which included the sweetest baby Charantais carrots and beetroots from the Chateau vegetable gardens. They topped the home grown strawberries on the white chocolate mousse with vibrant blue borage flowers and the effect was pure "dessert by Anthropologie". I was so proud!
The weather was kind for the rest of the day until it was time for the fireworks at which point the chateau was engulfed in one of those dramatic electric storms when the rain falls in sheets and the ground rumbles with the vibration of the thunder. Thankfully our pyro technician had the forethought to wrap all the gunpowder in polythene ahead of the night to while the guests stood under the new bar cover so the grounds were spectacularly illuminated by lightening and "feu d'artifice" at the same time.
The bride and groom were delighted by the drama of it all. They loved, loved, loved that the rain forced guests to stay within the safety of the barn walls and dance the night away.
It was an intimidating booking and not without it's moments of stress but when the very lovely bride left on Monday morning her comment to me was "Anna, thank you, for everything, it's all been absolutely perfect" and that was high praise indeed!

If you feel hungry on longer efforts add a little protein snack somewhere. A handful of trail mix, Clif Shot Roks, anything. It won't serve much athletic purpose but will keep the stomach settled longer. As for post-race fajitas, you are absolutely right. Livestrong had a taco bar and that hit the spot big time.

Love this post!!! You look great. You mentioned something a while back about not losing weight even though you're training more now than ever. Do you want to lose more weight? You seriously look great, and it doesn't look like you have anything to lose! Congrats on the 30 pounds! Noticeable or not, that is awesome!
Snacks are my problem area, too! Cookies and Twizzlers are the worst! Ramsey and I had veggie burgers and tons of veggies for lunch. It was great. Just don't ask me how many cookies I ate while I was making lunch. :)
I can never eat much after a race. I spend a few hours feeling slightly nauseated, and then I get a mini appetite.
Well, I'd love to see more food posts if you run out of other subjects (or not)! - October 26, 2010 at 10:46 AM
