![]() ![]() Instead, it was a lot easier to take your time and advance through each level slowly, as waves of soldiers spawned from all direction to charge you and kill you dead. Rush 'n Attack is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up/shooter that didn't reward new players for attempting its titular strategy. You've got to remember the historical time period that the NES was released – it was an age when the Cold War was still a very prominent problem in many American's minds, and game companies certainly didn't shy away from the free advertising that the fear-inspiring nightly news and morning papers were instilling in the purchasing public. It doesn't take a master of Mad Gab to discern the phonetically equivalent true title Konami was going for with this one, especially after you realize that the setting is a Soviet stronghold and all of the enemies are Communists. Do you need anything else? It's no Blades of Steel (hell EA's NHL09 isn't Blades of Steel), but growing up in Minnesota and playing on a hockey team ensured that this one was in the NES as much as Super Mario 3. I think I've got the same fond memory for this one as everyone else does: skinny dude, medium dude, and fat dude. The only game that ended up rivaling this excellent design was Konami's Blades of Steel, but the two were different enough to own and enjoy both (which is why you'll find Blades on this countdown). Every Ice Hockey player discovered their own perfect combination of men, and then it was on to the ice. You could choose from three different player body types, and outfit your team with any combination of them fast but weak Skinny Guys, brawny but slow Fat Guys, or well-balanced, middle-ground Normal Guys. This game of skating and slap shots was perfectly balanced, simple fun with just the right touch of planning and strategy to keep things interesting match after match. None of those games ended up having the lasting appeal and addictiveness of one of its other contemporaries, though – the first-party Nintendo sports sim known simply as Ice Hockey. Nintendo had a fairly diverse lineup of sports titles introduced for the NES early on in the system's life cycle, including 8-bit interpretations of soccer, tennis, volleyball and even downhill slalom skiing. ![]() Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game Skate or Die 2: The Search for Double Troubleīattletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate TeamĪ Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I prefer it to be thinner but frozen variety wise, any thinner most people would probably rip it on steam. The skin was OK! Not too thick, not too thin. Don’t expect big fat whole shrimps inside the dumpling. There are solid shrimp piece in there, but it’s cut up- with a mix of flour. You can taste/smell the shrimp aroma, but I think the aroma from ground down shrimp paste mixed into the shrimp flour used to fluffy up the Har Gao. Maybe cause I expect this to be close to proper good Har Gao comparable to Tim Ho Wan or Imperial Treasure Restaurants.Īll the dumplings had more flour mix in it than I prefer. Unfortunately I don’t have too much of a good news regarding taste. It’s also fluffier, with thinner and moist dumpling skin. The Kimbo Frozen Mixed Dim Sum is definitely 20% bigger than its microwavable frozen Har Gao counter parts. Excuse the sloppiness of my unruly Sambal. I have a side of Soy Sauce and Indonesian Sambal ABC. Need to savor that Dim Sum skin goodness. Looks great so far! More paper towels so nothing sticks. The first batch, steaming Kimbo Mixed Dim Sum. Always with the damp-somewhat wet paper towel or cloth so none of those beautiful dumpling skin stick on the steamer. Just watching it steam madr me so hungry. All shrimp dumplings- the love of my life.Īs usual, I’ve done some research on the company that imports these in the US, and I’ll post some info and prices later down the post. I REALLY Needed some Dimsum and all Microwavable Har Gaos were SOLD OUT.Īs you can see in the pic above, the Kimbo Mixed Dumplings come in 5 Shrimp Har Gaos, 5 Rose (didn’t know this was a thing) Shrimp Har Gaos, 5 Prawn Siew Mais and 5 Crystal Shrimp Har Gaos. I chose Kimbo Mixed Dimsum from the frozen shelves of 99 Ranch Market. I have yet to see Amoy brand items in the US (Walong Marketing would you grant my wish? Lol) even in Asian Grocery stores. That was my only experience with frozen dumplings. 90s or 2000 my parents would buy microwavable frozen Amoy dim sum Har Gaos and Siew Mais. This is my first attempt trying Frozen Dim Sum that needs to be steamed.Īs a kid, back in… I don’t know anymore. And nothing scares me more than crappy, soggy, rubbery dim sum. But with Covid-19… Dim Sum needs to migrate to home kitchen. When I need energy and morale boost, Dim Sum is there for me. In order to simplify further, perhaps I'm just a dim sum snob.Dim Sum is my ultimate soul food. In this one instance, I was wrong in that the result was commensurate with the original results, but we're not talking industrial frozen food. Tasted just like the ones in the parlor, and with comparable MSG to boot. ![]() When frying, one has to sizzle the base and then lid on for steaming effect. The instructions were simple, do not defrost, just steam or fry. They were sourced from a renowned dumpling parlor in Melbourne's Chinatown, called funnily enough, The Shanghai Noodle House. These were not strictly dim sum dumplings, but rather pork and vegetable dumplings of the Shanghainese variety. If its innate, not all people have it, but that's no great sweat is it? Sure, if there are good frozen products, then good, I buy frozen peas and carrots.Īnyhow, in the interest of empirical science, I purchased a batch of frozen dumplings. It's about dedication and the innate need to have something good. The point I was trying to convey is very simple: Anyway, the dim sum is better in Adelaide anyway! It's like, a 3 day drive from Adelaide to Sydney. I didn't do that for Ben on his visit because he gets fresh all the time? The key is to keep them well sealed, but not for too long. Today, I still make ahead when I know I need a large supply.like for my foodblog. I froze them individually, then steamed up upon request. The left over dim sum was what got me to serve luncheon platters. ![]() They patiently sat in a back room, spent a week showing me how to make those pesky pleats in har gow and sui mai, and made more than enough for our next event. Wong's little shop burned down acouple weeks before Xmas, and that was when I called in my Mom and her little old lady friends. The only complaint I had was the filling for char sui baos.too much dough and not enough filling. The fillings were flavourful and they steamed up nicely. I didn't have the know-how at that time to make thousands of these little treats for the hords in Brandon. The first time I did a Lunar New Year dim sum buffet ( yup.buffet!) at my old restaurant, we ordered from a little shop in Winnipeg (2.5-hour drive) that made and froze dim sum for sale to grocery stores. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was written in Kildall's own PL/M ( Programming Language for Microcomputers). Gary Kildall originally developed CP/M during 1974, as an operating system to run on an Intel Intellec-8 development system, equipped with a Shugart Associates 8-inch floppy-disk drive interfaced via a custom floppy-disk controller. History CP/M advertisement in the 29 November 1982 issue of InfoWorld magazine Early history CP/M was eventually displaced by DOS following the 1981 introduction of the IBM PC. An important driver of software innovation was the advent of (comparatively) low-cost microcomputers running CP/M, as independent programmers and hackers bought them and shared their creations in user groups. CP/M increased the market size for both hardware and software by greatly reducing the amount of programming required to install an application on a new manufacturer's computer. This computer platform was widely used in business through the late 1970s and into the mid-1980s. The combination of CP/M and S-100 bus computers became an early standard in the microcomputer industry. Initially confined to single-tasking on 8-bit processors and no more than 64 kilobytes of memory, later versions of CP/M added multi-user variations and were migrated to 16-bit processors.

This surviving hiker was discovered with a severe case of hypothermia and cranial trauma. The May 2013 newspaper article detailed disappearance of three hikers and the recovery of a fourth member of the hiking party. The story was compared to previous articles involving urban legends around a "monster cave" and assigned a high probability of anomalous activity. ![]() SCP-1444 was discovered after I/O-BEHOLDER flagged a May 2013 Oulu newspaper article about an injured hiker as suspicious.

Together, they successfully hosted the college’s first virtual case competition. Kalu Osiri, director of the International Business Program, believes the adaptability displayed by participants illustrates how the Nebraska Business community comes together to overcome difficulty. The flexibility of technology being able to present things when you want and how you want was a great benefit,” said the freshman actuarial science major from Bourbonnais, Illinois.ĭr. “I could see everything happening and everyone’s reactions, and that isn’t typically available when presenting in person. Presenting through Zoom provided Connor Bourdreau with more confidence during the presentation. The third member of the winning team utilized the advantages of the virtual platform. “When you’re working remotely, time constraints aren’t as much of an issue because we can just hop on Zoom and not have to worry about finding a meeting room,” said Ryan Nyffeler, freshman economics and finance major from Omaha and member of the first place team. However, students discovered some hidden benefits to working via virtual settings. Remote collaboration proved to be a challenge at times. Students presented their business plans for Coloplast, a Danish multinational company, to a panel of judges with international business experience through Zoom. There was no loss of enthusiasm, nor was there the perception that the experience was less compelling or lost due to the digital platform,” said Blum. It was exciting to see their engagement and energy.

Over the course of 10 days, students tackled the competition’s interdisciplinary case, which represented the realities of a highly competitive business environment.

It was great to be able to contribute firsthand to the success and continuation of the competition,” explained Meghan Schuette, freshman international business major from Omaha, Nebraska, and part of the competition’s winning team. “Right before we were sent home, the international business staff held a meeting where we could share our own opinions and ideas for how we envisioned the competition happening virtually. Much like current real-world global business teams, students worked together virtually and presented their business plans through Zoom. When the world went remote, students studying international business at the University of Nebraska –Lincoln chose to stay connected by competing in virtual teams in the inaugural Global Case Competition to solve a global business challenge. ![]() ![]() The in-home or virtual consultation is free, and a designer helps you customize your window coverings.

Historically, Drymarchon corais was considered a monotypic species with 8 to 12 subspecies including D.

Meanwhile, in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Anakin Skywalker's suspicions about Obi-Wan are in the meantime confirmed by none other than Master Yoda himself, who apologizes for the deception but also makes it clear that due to Anakin's temper it would become too dangerous for Obi-Wan to involve himself in the mission.
