- If Minecraft loads without crashing then you have installed Forge correctly. If you have done this, close Minecraft and re-navigate to the roaming folder.
- Next, you need to open your roaming folder by searching "%appdata% in the run program/command or on the search section of the start menu.

How to Roast Your Turkey
Cooking a turkey is actually surprisingly easy. To prepare the turkey for roasting in the oven, first remove the giblets (and save for gravy or stuffing). Next, rinse the bird inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.
- If you are stuffing the bird, stuff it loosely, allowing about ½ to ¾ cup stuffing per pound of turkey.
- Brush the skin with melted butter or oil. Tie drumsticks together with string (for stuffed birds only).
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The thermometer should point towards the body, and should not touch the bone.
- Place the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, and into a preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven. To determine how long to cook a turkey, use this chart to estimate the time required for baking.
- Bake until the skin is a light golden color, and then cover loosely with a foil tent. During the last 45 minutes of baking, remove the foil tent to brown the skin. Basting is not necessary, but helps promote even browning.
- The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) at the thigh.

10 Random Facts About William Shakespeare
- Shakespeare lived to 52. It is known that he was born in April 1564 and that he died on 23rd April 1616. We know that he was baptised on 26th April 1564 and scholars now believe that he was born on April 23rd. He therefore died on his fifty-second birthday, coinciding with St George’s Day. How fitting that the great English writer is so closely identified with the patron saint of England!
- Shakespeare had seven siblings. They were: Joan (1558); Margaret (1562); Gilbert (1566); Joan II (1569); Anne (1571); Richard (1574) and Edmund (1580). Read more about Shakespeare’s family.
- Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway when he was 18. She was 26 and she was pregnant when they married. Their first child was born six months after the wedding.
- Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway had three children together – a son, Hamnet, who died in 1596, and two daughters, Susanna and Judith. His only granddaughter Elizabeth – daughter of Susanna – died childless in 1670. Shakespeare therefore has no descendants. Read more about Shakespeare’s family.
- One of Shakespeare’s relatives on his mother’s side, William Arden, was arrested for plotting against Queen Elizabeth I, imprisoned in the Tower of London and executed.
- During his life, Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets! This means an average 1.5 plays a year since he first started writing in 1589. His last play The Two Noble Kinsmen is reckoned to have been written in 1613 when he was 49 years old. While he was writing the plays at such a pace he was also conducting a family life, a social life and a full business life, running an acting company and a theatre.
- Shakespeare’s profession was acting. He is listed in documents of 1592, 1598 and 1603 as an actor. We know that he acted in a Ben Jonson play and also in his own plays but it’s thought that, as a very busy man, writing, managing the theatre and commuting between London and his home in Stratford where is family was, he didn’t undertake big parts. There is evidence that he played the ghost in Hamlet and Adam in As You Like It.
- Candles were very expensive in Shakespeare’s time so they were used only for emergencies, for a short time. Most writers wrote in the daytime and socialised in the evenings. There is no reason to think that Shakespeare was any different to his contemporaries.
- All Uranus’ satellites are named after Shakespearean characters.
- Shakespeare’s original grave marker showed him holding a bag of grain. Citizens of Stratford replaced the bag with a quill in 1747.
Madville - Game Review
- Description from Kongregate:
You know, the world needs to be saved. Somehow it is always in danger. And there is always a hero that you can count on at times like this. A hero that you can look up to. But sometimes, there comes a hero, a bit different and unorthodox in his ways. This is the story of that hero. Relive the memory of a mad guy who saved the world and ended up in an asylum. Unlock different weapons, pick-up random effects, kill swarms of enemies and different bosses, bring your own apocalypse on the aliens.
I just finished this game and personally i think it was great! First of all i must say it was not too long and not too short gameplay, and it kept you busy with buying all those new and cool guns n' upgrades. Guns like pistols, tazors, minigun and shotgun. Those were just a few examples.
There are three different levels with stages and a boss stage. You start off with a mechanical boxing glove. The rounds starts slow and after awhile there are many enemies which are spawning and attacking you. You can get drops like health, weapons, armour, 2x damage and a random box which can give you special effects. The funny part is that there is many different kinds of enemies. SURVIVE THROUGH THE ROUND TO WIN.
The graphics is decent and you have the choice to switch between low, mid and high graphic resolution. I love the graphics myself. It's the typical flash game graphic. The animation is also decent.
Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 8/10
Story: N/A (Not enough info)
Overall: 8/10
Other peoples comments on the game:
- Fun, crazy, a piece of really well done game, temporary effects are great in that they can be both positive or negative and the backstory is a fine example that being batshit crazy is a hell of a ride. Moar please?
- not bad game, but after awhile boxing guns get irritating, it would be nice to have a feature that you can change the main gun ...
- I finished game with 85 unused points. bout all mid and long range weapons, no close. IF there where more options, like speed increase, funny random or boss modes, all of them at once ... That would be freaking awesome. Achivements and you have 4/5. Great Game !
- fun and crazy!
- Ahh the old move in a circle bit, gets old, been done over and over and over.
I really think you should try this game, check it out: http://www.kongregate.com/games/UmutDervis/madville

Youtube - Article
Youtube
Youtube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steven Chen and Jawed Karim, former employees of Paypal in 2005. The reason why they invented this site was becuase while they was on a birthday party they took some pictures. They then started to talk about how hard it was to find public videos on the internet of for example the big tzunami in sout asia in 2004. That was when they came up with the idea of making a website where people could share videos with other people from every country without having to pay anyone. That is why they'r motto is "Broadcast Yourself". Youtube was officially launched in December 2005
Google bought youtube in 2006 for a total of $1.65 Billion. $66 million went to Karim, 310 for Chen and 334 for Hurley. The firs month after the creation of youtube the page already had 3 million visitors. The amount of visitors tripled by the third month which was february and then tripled again by July. Youtube had now 30 million visitors.
Statistics
Now in 2013, youtube is the second most used searching engine after google. It is bigger than bing yahoo and ask combined together. Acording to statistics, youtube's viewers are based on 56% Male and 44% Female and most of them are ranged by the age 12-17. In 2007 it was estimated that youtube had as much bandwith as the whole entire internet had in 2000. Over 450.000 years of video are watched on youtube each month as of 2013.
Attractive girls
The very first sharing website was ShareYourWorld.com founded in 1997, but since the technology wasn't good enough to make good videos at that time they soon went out of bussines. In the early stages of yotube they offered young, attractive girls 100$ for publishing at least 10 videos. This was ment as advertisement for the site but the offers they sent were never answered. The first video ever to be published on youtube was "Me at the zoo".

BNKR Review
Game Title: BNKR
Game Genre: Point And Click, Puzzle - Flash Game
Console(s): PC
Publisher: Kongregate
Developer: Pitergames
Date Released: Aug. 22, 2013
Retail Price: Free To Play
Graphics
BNKR, which is a point and clicking game contains amazing graphics, and is totally worth the playthrough. I recommend you to play with sounds on though because the sad, epic music and the grayish background of the game has so much in common.
Ratings: 8/10
Playthrough
Humanity is long gone and only robots are remaining. Surviving gets more and more difficult for each year.. The robots can barely find anymore fuel. BNKR tells the story of a young robot that is doing his ordinary, daily routine. He is trying to survive, like everybody else. Follow his adventure through this point and clicking game! The game is kinda short though, maybe like 10 minutes of gameplay. But that is because it is still in its alpha.

Pixel Kingdom Review
Game Title: Pixel Kingdom
Game Genre: Strategy, Defense, Upgrades - Flash Game
Console(s): PC, IOS, Anroids
Publisher: Kongregate
Developer: Smash Games
Date Released: May. 22, 2013
Retail Price: Free To Play
If your looking for a high quality game this is not the game for you. The name is Pixel Kingdom for a reason. The graphics isn't that bad though, in fact i had no problems with the graphics during my time of playing this. There are a lot of different units, some are more detailed then others, some less and some are just completely ugly. But i don't mind that because that's how the graphics were supposed to be in this game. I would also like to inform that pixel kingdom indeed was the first game Smash Games ever made.
Graphics Ratings: 6/10
The achievements aren't that hard. But it's alot of them.. So if you want to complete all of them i just say "good luck!". Ive played this game for atleast 14 days now and i still haven't got all the achievements. Some of them cost insane with money, like the one where your supposed to buy 1000 items. The minimum worth item costs 250, which is the one that increase your mana for one round. If you wanna buy 1000 of these it will cost you 250.000 money. Which means whatever you do it will cost you 250.000.. Atleast. Another hard achievement is getting to round 500 in the classic mode. This achievement is not expensive, hard or anything if you have the right tactic.. But it will take effing long time. So yeah, prepare for fun, boringness and rage!
Achievements: 8/10
There is no real campaign on this game.. Atleast not the way you would think. The only thing that happens through the game as far as i know is that a old man talks to you in the beginning. Other than that you just choose wheter you wanna play on Underground or classic mode.. Or Arena, but i suggest you to play some before you choose Arena mode where its about to defeat as many waves as possible. The campaign isn't really hard at all but it can be really annoying when you spend 5 minutes playing and then you fail and have to start over again. During the campaign you will get some units, some you need to buy and some you will find in the chests, which will only spawn sometimes on the map. Getting money on this game is insane.. It takes effing long time! I'm on round 300 and something and i only get 2k each round. Sometimes you will level up which will gain you 2 gems. These gems you can use to upgrade units
Campaign Ratings: 7.2/10
Units
Some units are expensive as hell and some are cheap... The most expensive one costs around 99 000 which is the pirate. The pirate throws bombs on the enemies and takes a lot of damage..
