7. Take my advice, or I’ll spank you without pants.
10. You always use violence. I should’ve ordered glutinous rice
chicken.
20. Yah-hah, evil spider woman! I have captured you by the short
rabbits and can now deliver you violently to your gynecologist for a thorough
examination.
This guy’s guide is really, really good. Screenshots and all!
My goal with this guide is to make it as easy as possible for everyone to install a 3D desktop on Ubuntu Linux (Edgy Eft) with Beryl and Xgl, there will be no use of the terminal in this guide so everyone should be able to follow this guide and install a 3D Desktop on there very own and brand new installation of Ubuntu Edgy Eft.[ From lhansen.blogspot.com ]
The BS Super Mario USA series is basically SMB2 from Super Mario All-Stars, but you can only play as Mario. This downside is offset by a few new features that this game offers. In my opinion, the coolest addition is the gold Mario statue. There are three in each level, and four in each x-3 level (you get one from beating the boss). Most of the time they are sitting out in the open, but sometimes they are hidden in Sub-Space (tricky!). Picking up a statue will give you a 1-Up and fills empty hearts in your life meter. If you pick up all ten statues in a World, you probably get some sort of bonus. To aid in your statue collecting, you can go back to play any stage that you have already beaten. 
Another new feature is the “Today’s Results” screen, accessed by pressing Select at the “stage select” screen. The results screen temporarily keeps track of all the Mushrooms, Coins, Cherries, and gold Mario statues that you’ve found in each level. Beat a stage, and the game will X-out the Birdo or boss you defeated. The red-colored stats show which level you were in last.
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — When Salim Al-Nabit and his friends went to see beach volleyball for the first time, they left their wives home.
Al-Nabit said he would watch the bikini-clad women, but he certainly wouldn’t want his wife to do so. He was there, he added, because it was a matter of national honor.
“We don’t see this a lot in Qatar,” Al-Nabit said. “I think most people think it is outrageous. But we accept it because it is important for our country. We want others to see us as a generous and hospitable people, willing to accept their ways, even if we don’t agree.”
Beach volleyball’s penchant for bikinis has touched off a bit of a cultural clash in this 
conservative Muslim city, which by hosting the Asian Games, a regional sports extravaganza, is trying to bolster its bid to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to the Middle East.
The city has transformed itself in an effort to woo the Olympics. It has spent billions on infrastructure and sparkling new sports facilities, including the 50,000-seat “Aspire” stadium.
Doha organizers brought in 80 truckloads of sand from dunes in the desert outside the city to create the proper beach setting for the volleyball competition. They then even had the sand tested by a Canadian contractor to make sure it was just right.
But some things are just too much to ask.
