BRILLIANT little film found by a former co-worker in Korea.
This really does the job of summing up the incredible instablity of life and work over there.
And yet they don't even go into the nightmare of classroom teaching!
If that doesn't warn you off enough or you are just feeling blessed (or lucky), at least remember to ALWAYS check blacklisted sites before accepting any job in Korea.
Cheers! (^_-)-☆

Collards with Lentils, Tomatoes
Yummy , Quick, and very mild for an Indian dish.
veggie oil, as needed 2-3 TB
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1+1/2 teaspoon garlic (chopped, not powder)
2 teaspoons garam masala
1/2 teaspoon salt
Put all ingredients above into a deep cooking pot and cook until onions transparent, but not limp or soft.
Then add, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes for flavors to absorb.
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 cup red lentils
Add 2 cups water and as much of the collard greens as you can fit.
half of 1 bunch collard greens (thick stem tips removed. leaves sliced into 1-inch-thick ribbons.)
Cook 15 minutes covered at which point the greens will have cooked down.
Cook 15 minutes more and keep adding more greens until all are added. Stir in well.
Serve with jasmine (best) rice or basmati.
Cheers! (^_-)-☆

you want how much???
In preparing for another trip, I am once again desperately hoping to unload some stuff.
I was using Ebay back in 1999 when people were still afraid of using their credit cards online. (Admittedly, those said people still feel that way today.)
NOW is different though.
Everyone wants to know the exact price it it to ship to their city, the price under several shipping options, how long under each option...
Or my favorite, is I buy several, can I pay only one shipping? How much?
well, it depends on which items, the total weight, etc...
In the end you spend more time entering and researching information than the 5 dollar profit you might get for it.
Looking for other alternatives, I remembered something I saw in Columbus, Ohio several years ago - a brick-and-mortar Ebay outlet. o.o
With the caveat that selling on ebay is NOT easy (Not like it was 10 years ago. Again, it's a profitless pain in the a$ now.), an excellent article about ebay consignment shops:
Still feel up to it?
Then you will want to find an eBay Drop Off Store or eBay consignment seller through eBay Trading Assistant Directory
For general stuff, there's this site to search through: Consignment Pal
Their blurb being use the Consignment Pal Resale Shops Directory to find consignment and resale shops, collectors, eBay consignment stores, liquidators, antiques, estate sales, art, etc.
Cheers! (^_-)-☆

more windows crap
Windows is a piece of sh1t.
Yes, it is.
As someone who has worked with computers both professionally and personally since the late 1980s, I can say with confidence - Windoze u r a piece of overpriced sh1t.
My latest beef with windoze is the fact that it on occasion, randomly and without warning, forgets the keyboard. As in can not recognize the keyboard that it even came with.
Fert, I miss my linux machine.
Some fixes I found later to be edited copied here to make sure I have them for my own reference.
* Method One, Summary:
Not only must you add the Japanese layout to IME, but you must also install a Japanese keyboard driver. Here's the set of instructions, updated to Windows XP SP2. Of course, use at your own risk.
1. Navigate to Start->Control Panel->Keyboard
2. On the Hardware tab, click Properties (note that the current driver is probably "Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard")
3. On the Driver tab, click Update Driver...
4. The Hardware Update Wizard launches. When it asks if Windows can connect to Windows Update to search for software, select "No, not this time" and click Next
5. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click Next
6. Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and click Next
7. Uncheck "Show compatible hardware"
8. Select "Japanese PS/2 Keyboard (106/109 Key)" from the manufacturer "(Standard keyboards)" and click Next
9. Click Yes to continue with the installation when the warning about installing incompatible device drivers appears
10. Click Yes to continue with the installation when the warning about replacing PS/2 mouse port drivers appears
11. Click Finish and reboot
I really recommend reading the FULL ARTICLE.
However, what worked for me this time is contained in the following site. This site offers several suggestions for fixing the windoze botch, but what worked for me was the dreaded registry edit. o.o
* Method Two, option#5, registry edit:
ドライバでキチンと日本語キーボードになっているのに英語配列になっちゃう場合は、
この方法をとる。こちらも自己責任で。
regeditを起動して、以下のキーに移動する。
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\KeyboardLayouts\00000411
（この操作もXP/Vista/7、32Bit/64Bit共通です）
まずはバックアップ
▲まずは該当キーの上で右クリックしてエキスポートしておく。
PCが更に不調になった場合は、このエキスポートファイルを「結合」する事で元の状態に戻せるようになります。
次にデータの変更。
「Layout File」をダブルクリックして「KBDJPN.DLL」 と入力
「Layout text」をダブルクリックして「Japanese」または「日本語」 と入力
変更が終わったらregeditを閉じてPC再起動
注意：
似たキーがありますがコッチじゃありません。
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
▲末尾にsが無い
Again, I really can' stress how much I recommend reading the
FULL ARTICLE. And if you can't (since it is in Japanese), let me know which method you are interested in. There is over five methods offered. I will post the translation in the comments.
Cheers! (^_-)-☆
