Well, it looks like Sean has taken hostage of me in his basement for an unknown period of time. I don't ask for much, just the occasional bread stick when you feel like it.
It's been an interesting journey that I've had here on TTG over the past 6 years, watching the site evolve and it's an honour to be part of the Staff team. I want to thank everyone that's posted in the PC sections and shoutbox for keeping me entertained over the years. Also, there's a few people that I want to shoutout because without them, there would be no Adam on TTG.
Congrats on reaching the ranking of Moderator. I know it has triggered you for god knows how long that my ranking has been the + of yours. Now as of today this is not the case.
I figured this day was coming, you have always been a dedicated TTG user and a nice one to speak to.
Congrats on becoming a moderator Adam, I'm so sad Mikey didn't get this but I guess the better man won.
I have an xbox rgh and was using it fine until the whole console crashed so i turned it back on and nothing will load not even xell
If not, hit power button then eject button and it should power on. Go to dashlaunch and remove plugins because that could be the problem (possibly a stealth issue). If it doesn't turn in that way grab a USB and put a blank launch.ini on it and plug it into Xbox and boot normally and add the correct plugins.
I did contact him but I left the Xbox off over night unplugged and it booted fine this morning so not sure what happened
Pakistan is developing missiles that can deploy nuclear warheads to different targetsAFP/Getty Images
China has sold Pakistan a sophisticated missile tracking system that significantly enhances its military capabilities.
Given the tense relations between Pakistan, India and China, the deal threatens to destabilise the region by fuelling an arms race.
The Chinese large-scale tracking equipment allows Pakistan’s military to improve the testing and development of its own missiles. Using powerful telescopes and laser tracking, it can follow multiple moving targets. Pakistan is believed to be developing missiles that can deploy multiple nuclear warheads to different targets and potentially overwhelm an anti-missile defence system.
It is the first time any country has sold such a controversial piece of equipment to Pakistan. The system is understood to already be in use and marks a power shift in the three-way relationship between…

Serena Williams fined for rant at umpire as Naomi Osaka claims maiden Grand Slam | Sport | The Sunday Times
Pointing the finger: Serena Williams rages at umpire Carlos Ramos in her US Open final defeat last nightSARAH STIER
On an evening that was designated for a glorious rewrite of tennis history, the proven combustible combination of Serena Williams contesting a US Open final again produced one of the most controversial matches in the tournament’s history.
And out of the flames of dispute on Arthur Ashe Stadium arose 20 year-old new champion Naomi Osaka, who gloriously kept her cool and composure while everyone around her seemed to be losing theirs.
Williams, who was today fined $17,000 (£13,000) for three code violations, has history of regrettable behaviour in this particular match. In 2009 she was judged guilty of aiming a four-letter verbal attack at a line judge during her loss to Kim Clijsters. Then two years later she was involved in an ugly dispute with…
Tottenham were my first love in football, where it all started for me, and I still have great affection for them. I reckon that I was responsible for putting two tons of sand on the pitch at White Hart Lane — some of it might still be there — when the weather was bad and they were trying to get games on. Another of my glamorous jobs when I was an apprentice was collecting rubbish from the stands.
So I’m fully aware that I will be upsetting some fans with what I’m about to argue, but, being impartial, I believe that Harry Kane should leave for Real Madrid this summer, if he gets the chance. The fee Real will have to pay for Kane will…

What a week it's been. Books were read, new swimsuits were purchased, berries were picked, families were bonded, mosquitos attacked, a wedding was attended, much suntanning occurred, and it all happened far too fast. I'm a lucky girl to have such an idyllic haven in Italy. Saying goodbye is absolutely wretched. In an attempt to tell you about the past week with any semblance of eloquence, I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.
For the next 10 days, I'll be in Italy visiting my mother and my grandfather (that's his tool shed you see up there) and various other members of my Italian family for some much-needed rest and relaxation. I plan on cooking very little, reading quite a bit, and watching as much soccer as I possibly can.
Thank you, dearest darlingest readers, for all your lovely words of encouragement. They've put a spring in my step.
I have absolutely nothing to tell you about cooking-wise, because I spent the entire weekend devouring this book. It is the best thing I've read all year, and, people, I read for a living. Bill Buford, the former fiction editor for The New Yorker, worked as an unpaid grunt in Mario Batali's kitchen at Babbo and then traveled to Tuscany to apprentice under master butcher Dario Cecchini. The account of his time in the kitchen at Babbo and in Italy is beautifully written, hysterically funny, and totally, utterly captivating. It's the kind of book I wish wish wish never had to end.
And if I didn't already have an insatiable desire to eat at Babbo - just once! - I certainly do now.
Despite the incessant rain over New York City, last night's dinner called for something light and colorful and nutritious: a counterbalance to a weekend of baked beans and chocolate, and the perfect dinner-for-one. The recipe comes from the chef at Jer-ne in Marina del Rey and was printed in an LA Times article about the beauties of shaved salads by Leslie Brenner.
I'm adore shaved salads - fennel and celery root and cabbage and carrots: the list of raw vegetables that benefit from being sliced paper-thin and dressed with nothing more than olive oil, lemon juice and salt goes on and on. But the idea of pairing fennel with watermelon and raw tuna was something new to me and just the ticket for a one-plate meal.
I sliced two ounces of raw tuna, then drizzled them with lemon oil and piled shaved fennel on top. Mimicking the coral fish, thinly sliced watermelon was arranged on top of that. More lemon oil was drizzled all around, and I sprinkled flaky Maldon salt over everything to give it some edge. My plate looked gorgeous - restaurant food in my very own kitchen.
But sadly? It tasted totally insipid. The delicate tuna flavor disappeared entirely behind the fennel, and the watermelon was so thin that the fresh crunch and refreshing taste was gone a millisecond after each bite. And why did Weiss use lemon oil instead of lemon juice and oil, which would have provided some much-needed tartness?
The idea of using watermelon in savory dishes is lovely - I remember first trying a salad of watermelon, sliced grape tomatoes and feta, all bathed in a sharp, citrusy vinaigrette a few years ago (at The Red Cat? I think), and being totally blown away by the combination of textures and flavors. But this tuna carpaccio was a total snooze, even if it was the prettiest thing I ever did put together for dinner.
I'm kind of a sissy when it comes to grilling. Growing up in Germany, having a barbecue always seemed so utterly and entirely American. After all, the Americans did it best: juicy burgers with their toasty buns, spicy chicken slathered in barbecue sauce, gooey marshmallows falling off of scavenged twigs. My family in Italy would grill from time to time - a whole fish in a wire basket, perhaps, or a few slices of bread to be rubbed with garlic and drizzled with oil - the original and inimitable bruschetta - but that was about it. And even then, the grill was in the province of men. My imposing Sicilian uncle would take care of the fish, and our Milanese friend Giancarlo would stand over his grill and toss toasted bread back at the dinner table for us to dress.
In America, too, grilling and manhood seem inextricably bound - in fact, it often seems to be the only place where men feel truly comfortable when cooking. Get a group of people together for a summer barbecue and the men will always end up standing around the grill, giving each other terse "suggestions" for how to get the fire going. I let this behavior intimidate me over the years. I convinced myself that I didn't really care much for grilled food anyhow - a saute pan was good enough for me! But somewhere in the back of my brain, I suspected that if I could wrestle my way to the front of the grill and master that sucker, it might well be worth it.
For the past year, I've been lucky enough to live in a ground-floor apartment with a patio and hence a grill. It's a bit of a sad-looking grill, lopsided and with a tipsy-looking ash-collector (erm, that's what I call it. I may be mastering the grill, but that doesn't mean I know the lingo), but who cares about looks when it comes to grilling? I didn't need some fancy-pants grill selling at Williams-Sonoma for 500 dollars (for some reason, a Southern twang just crept into my interior monologue - let's ignore it and move on). What I did need was a grill brush to swipe off a year or two of heat-fused proteins and grit, and a recipe that sounded so mouth-watering it would propel from my safe place of non-grilling existence to the wild life on the other side.
I purchased the grill brush for little more than four dollars at the Chinese-run restaurant equipment store around the corner from my office, along with some fierce-looking skewers. I was in business. Last summer, Julia Moskin wrote about multi-cultural grilling and included several recipes for kebabs that sounded utterly delicious and not too difficult. The recipes included lovely little salads to be served alongside the kebabs, which totally charmed me. For a catch-up dinner with some girlfriends on Wednesday night, I chose to make a Syrian recipe for beef kebabs spiced with onions and cinnamon and allspice, to be stuffed along with a citrusy salad into a grill-warmed pita. Are you hungry already?
The recipe called for ground chuck to be mixed together by hand into a "paste" along with spices, chopped onions (I used shallots), tomato paste, lemon juice, and pine nuts. I was then to form the meat around flat skewers - but this didn't quite work. If I lifted the skewers, even carefully, the molded meat would just fall off. What worked better was forming the meat into sausage shapes with my hands, and then thrusting the skewer through each one. I chilled the raw kebabs for an hour, then went to work getting the grill to light.
Anticlimactically, the briquets we had lying around the house were the quick-start ones, soaked with lighter fluid. All I did was touch a match to a pile of them and they went up in flames. Thrilling! About 10 minutes later, the grill was ready, so I oiled the rack, laid the skewers down carefully over the hot coals and heard the meat sizzle. Turning the skewers and kebabs 7 minutes later proved a bit difficult since I was wielding a spatula and oven mitts (not to mention my nerves were getting in the way), but all I needed was a bit of practice. When the meat was cooked through but still juicy, I threw a few pitas on the grill and we sat down for dinner.
We split the pitas and filled them with the juicy meat - sweet with spice, flame-smoked - and lemon-and-oil slicked romaine and cucumbers. The sandwiches were delicious - alternately warm yet cooling, crusty and fresh. The lemony salad was the perfect foil for the hearty meat - in fact, I filled my pita mostly with salad, and had just a piece or two of meat stuck in. We ate with our fingers, always satisfying, and felt the night set in around us. I think I could get used to this outdoor-cooking thing.
Man ‘high on cocaine’ when he pleaded guilty in St. John’s prison stabbing | Local | News | The Western Star
Justin Jordan wants to withdraw his guilty plea to the stabbing of a fellow inmate on the grounds that he was “high on cocaine and stuff” at the time he entered it.
That’s what Jordan, who was in custody last October when he pleaded guilty to the stabbing and is still in custody, told a provincial court judge Friday morning.
Jordan had been scheduled to represent himself on an application to withdraw the plea, having fired his lawyer earlier this month at the same time the lawyer, Jennifer Curran, announced Legal Aid was cancelling his representation.
She didn’t get into details at the time, but Jordan said he wanted to self-represent because, “I’m telling my lawyer what I want to do and she won’t do it.”
Jordan said he wanted Legal Aid representation again, and wanted to know the reasons why his certificate had been cancelled.
Judge Mike Madden scheduled Jordan’s next appearance for June 28, asking prosecutor Jason House to clarify information with Legal Aid and to provide Jordan with some legal documents he’d need if he does eventually represent himself.
Jordan is looking to take back the guilty plea he entered in connection with the June 2017 stabbing of accused murderer Trent Butt in Her Majesty’s Penitentiary. Butt, who is awaiting a first-degree murder trial for the death of his five-year-old daughter, Quinn, was not seriously injured.
The court had originally been set to hear Jordan’s application to that effect in April, but Curran expressed concerns with Jordan’s health and asked for a psychiatric assessment. The judge declined, pointing out Jordan had already been assessed twice and had been deemed fit for trial.
Jordan, 25, has caused concern in the past with his behaviour and outbursts in court, at one point giving a judge the middle finger and demanding she stand up.

“Arrested Development” Season 4 is available on Netflix right now. No, no, we mean the new “Arrested Development” Season 4 is available RIGHT. NOW. And that original one is gone.
On Thursday afternoon (also known as the day before Cinco de Quatro), the streaming service announced via the show’s Twitter account that series creator Mitch Hurwitz’ remix of the fourth installment had just gone live.
“It’s anustart. Season 4 Remix: Fateful Consequences is dropping,” the ensemble comedy tweeted, after posting a slew of cryptic GIFs over the last two days.
And sure enough, if you go look now, the original 15-episode fourth season is gone and the new 22-episode recut, “Arrested Development Season 4 Remix: Fateful Consequences,” is available in its place.
In an open letter posted to the sitcom’s Twitter account Tuesday, Hurwitz said that he had “TWO exciting updates about Netflix and the series” to make.
First, he said that Season 5 will be dropping “soon. Like real soon. Like, if you knew when, you would not be wrong to be thinking ‘why are we all just hearing this now?'”

And second he announced the long-rumored Season 4 remix would be arriving Friday, May 4 aka the “premature holiday the Bluth family know as Cinco de Cuatro.”
After the original “experimented with a Rashomon-style of storytelling,” by focusing each of its episodes on an individual character, Hurtwiz said the new version would reimagine the installment as an adventure with interwoven storylines.
Well, looks like the show takes after the Bluths in that it made the “huge mistake” of releasing it a day early. Or, far more likely, it was a well thought-out decision.
“Arrested Development Season 4 Remix: Fateful Consequences” is available for streaming on Netflix. Season 5 is coming “real soon.”

Make sure you know what you can and can’t do on a Motor Trade insurance policy by knowing what the Traders’ policy rules are.
Ensuring you know what the Traders policy rules are, can help you avoid having your Motor Trade insurance policy cancelled or made void.
One of the main Traders policy rules is that it’s a legal requirement to have Motor insurance if you intend to drive on UK roads. As most motor traders will probably need to drive on public highways, this makes having at least a Road Risk insurance policy, essential for anyone working in the motor trade.
If you operate as a motor trader on a part-time basis then you must disclose that fact when enquiring about a Motor Trade insurance product. This is because we are unable to offer a Part-Time Motor Trade insurance policy for some occupations.
Those who take out a Motor Trade insurance policy intended for a full-time trader, but actually work part-time, could risk their policy being cancelled or made void. Therefore, we encourage you to be honest about your motor trade business, as that’s the best way we can get you a Traders insurance policy that works for you.
It’s not a hard and fast rule in Motor Trade insurance that you need to be over 25 to be eligible for Motor Trade cover, however those under the age of 25 looking for a Traders Policy will find it difficult. Those who successfully take out a Motor Trade Insurance Under 25 policy will find it has its own set of unique rules, and it’s important to understand them if you are under 25 or wish to add an employee or spouse that is, to your policy. For some insurers the rules might be a little bit different, but these are the general requirements and rules for Motor Trade Insurance Under 25:
For traders under 25, in addition to the above, there are stricter rules regarding the location of the business, where the vehicles are kept, and insurers may ask for an additional excess to be added to the policy.
Also, due to the high cost of insurance for young drivers, some people may be tempted to try and take out a Motor Trade insurance policy and add a young driver under the guise of being an employee, to enable them to get a cheap policy. DON’T BE TEMPTED TO DO THIS! This is called fronting, and is illegal!
When taking out a Motor Trade insurance policy you will be asked for details about the type of vehicles you work with, as high performance and high value cars will often cost more to insure, due to the potential payout in the event of a claim. It’s important to be honest about the value of the vehicles you work with, because if you end up making a claim and you weren’t honest about the value, your claim could be rejected. Furthermore, you may even find that the policy gets cancelled or voided, leaving you out of pocket and having to cover the costs yourself.
Whilst there are general rules when taking out a Motor Trade insurance policy through Think Insurance, there will be rules that are specific to your insurance provider, and these will be detailed in your policy documents. Always make sure you read your policy documents so you know exactly what is and isn’t covered by your insurance, and you know what rules apply on your policy.
Knowing the Traders policy rules and the rules specific to your policy isn’t the only important thing about a Motor Trade policy. It’s also important to check that everything you need covering is covered by your insurer, and that’s where we can help. We’ll do our best to match your motor trade business to an insurer from our handpicked panel of Motor Trade insurers, so that you get a policy that protects your business and works for you.
To find out how much cover might cost, click ‘Get a Quote’ below or you can call us on 0800 221 8077, where we can clarify the Traders policy rules for our insurers.

Additional 10 governorship aspirants have so far obtained nomination forms to vie for the ticket of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the 2019 general elections.
Some of the governorship aspirants who came to collect their nomination forms in the last two days include, former Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Sam Amadi; Okey Eze; Daniel Kanu; Bright Nwanne and Uche Onyeaguche.
Kanu, who picked his nomination form yesterday, said elections have already been won and lost in Imo state.
“The election has already conducted itself because I believe that our people are very democratically-driven. “The current governor was elected in 2011 and he defeated a sitting governor then under the PDP and it was done through APGA and we the people made it happen,” he said.
Also addressing journalists after obtaining his nomination form from the headquarters of APGA, a governorship aspirant in Imo State, and former NERC chairman, Sam Amadi, said a process to end the legacy of deceit, corruption and audacious immorality in Imo State has begun.
Amadi who boasted that he is the most qualified to fly the flag of APGA, said since the end of Sam Mbakwe’s era in the state, “418 operatives have hijacked political power. They have carried out unbridled stealing of public wealth and criminality.
“Those who invaded political leadership in Imo state and built this infrastructure of poverty and misery have consolidated their political power in the state through continuous impoverishment of the citizens.”
Meanwhile, a leading governorship aspirant in Abia State, Mr. Alex Oti, yesterday, decried the high level of insecurity in the state. According to him, the state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has failed to secure lives and property of the people, since he assumed office in 2015.
Oti made the assertion at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), when he picked his governorship nomination form.
He told journalists that he was robbed of his mandate in 2015, but vowed to resist a repeat of that in 2019. The former banker said the failure of the state government to uplift the lives of the people will make his victory easy.
He said: “We are ready to take over the leadership of Abia state. The good news is that, the present government in Abia state has failed. .
“The people have realised it and they are ready to take back their state. We are reclaiming our state.”
Another governorship aspirant who piked form thursday, Chike Udensi said that time has come for APGA to ensure that whoever it would give its ticket would be one that can win and protect the votes.
He pledged to use his vast experiences and contacts as a international security consultants to ensure that there conducive environment for economic growth in Abia state.
