“Average” Number of Gulf Shores Arrests During Spring Break Is Too Damn High

0
0

Gulf Shores Police Department

Gulf Shores, Alabama is once again one a Spring Break hotspot this year, but we chose to exclude it from our Trashiest Spring Break destinations because we thought it was clear that the police weren’t going to be too hospitable to party animals. Apparently no one else got that message.

Fox10 reports that the Gulf Shores Police Department has made 156 arrests. “The majority involved underage drinking and public intoxication.” Even crazier is that this number is average. Crazier still is that we’re only ten days into Spring Break.

“Our police officers are going to these large congregations where there are kids partying on the beach and they are very slowly, methodically going through and checking kids for identification and make sure they’re of age,” says Gulf Shores Director of Cultural Affairs Grant Brown. “The ones that are not behaving themselves, they are removing and arresting.”

We can completely understand why Gulf Shores is such a popular Spring Break destination–it’s got beautiful beaches, good weather, and tons of houses available for rent. But for God’s sakes people, spending the night (or the weekend) in jail is not the way to go.

Do you see any bail money or handcuffs in this Gulf Shores Spring Break recap? Nope.

It’s doesn’t take much brain power to realize that the Victoria’s Secret models are some of the hottest women on Earth. Whether they’re prancing around in skimpy lingerie or lounging on the couch in a burlap sack (it happens), they always manage to be absolutely stunning.

Hence why Rachel Hilbert caught our eye.

The 21-year-old model is rather new to the group, but is definitely there for the long haul. As Victoria’s Secret’s PINK spokesmodel, Hilbert has been plastered all over store billboards lately and we don’t hate it. Originally from upstate New York, the blonde beauty has come a long way and we expect her to continue upward. Keep an eye out – she’s going places.

USC Meth

Total Frat Move

A former USC professor was just arrested for running an extensive meth ring with his sister – and he didn’t even have cancer.

John Allen Hancock IV was a former English teacher at the University of South Carolina before his arrest. According to The Daily Gamecock, Hancock served as a part-time member of the teaching staff for USC’s English Program for Internationals, which is not part of the Department of English.

Hancock and his sister turned themselves Tuesday morning after police invaded a methamphetamine manufacturing operation in a Trenholm Road-area neighborhood earlier in the month.

Both have since been charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and improper disposal of methamphetamine waste, which really, is the most annoying thing about this whole situation. Learn how to recycle you douche – you’re contributing to global warming!

Top 5 Best Dorm Room Gadgets For Your College Dorm 2016

Best Dorm Room Gadgets, College Room Gadgets

College students are all about convenience. I mean, no one eats instant ramen because it’s good for you, you eat it because it’s 4 o’clock in the morning and you have a paper due in five hours, so you can’t afford to waste time leaving your room to get actual food. Anyway, technology is all about making our lives easier. With that in mind, here are five different devices and gadgets for college students:


5. Portable Projector

Portable Projector

brookstone.com

Dorm room living is tight. In the typical one-room set-up, that single room is your bedroom, living room, office, and (sometimes) kitchen all rolled into one. That can make entertaining friends difficult, especially when all you want to do is watch a movie or marathon a TV show. It nearly impossible when more than two people trying to crowd around a laptop.

Well, there’s the solution: a portable projector.

Imagine being able to project your favorite movie on the wall of your room or even on the side of your building— old-fashioned drive-in style. This one has a bright 100-lumen LED lamp that lasts up to 20,000 hours and projects images up to 80-inch diagonal. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 2 hours (perfect for a watching a movie) and also comes with an AC adapter. 

You can buy it here.


4. Portable Charger

Portable Charger

Nothing’s worse for a social life than a dead phone. While smart phones today can practically do anything, they can’t hold a charge for longer than a few hours. That isn’t a problem when you have access to a power outlet, but that’s not always the case (ex: any airport terminal in the world). That’s where a portable charger comes in. These things are life-savers when you’re in a pinch.

Portable chargers like this start at only $6, but, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. This particular model is sold for $12.99, but there are ones that go for  up to $50 too.


3. Ostrich Pillow

Ostrich Pillow

studiobananathings.com

If there’s one thing college kids are always short of—besides money—it’s sleep. Especially during midterms and finals, it’s not unusual to see some poor soul passed out in the library in the most uncomfortable looking positions.

Enter the Ostrich Pillow, the pillow its creators describe as a “revolutionary power-napping device.” It’s a combination face mask, pillow, and hand rest. Simply pull the Ostrich Pillow over your head and place your head on your desk (or any other flat surface), slip your hands inside the pockets, and sleep.

There’s even a hole for your mouth. You know, you so can breathe.

“Did you know that a power naps of around 20 minutes increases productivity by more than 30 percent?” asks the product’s Kickstarter page. “Seeing as we all spend more and more time at work/in front of a computer screen or in transit, we thought why not create a device that helps you disconnect and dream for short periods of time. That’s how the Ostrich Pillow came to life.”

4-Piece USB Bed Lift Set

Everyone knows that the cool thing to do in college is loft your bed. Not only does it increase your under-the-bed storage space, but it also lets you live out the dream of having that bunk bed your parents would never buy you.

This bed-riser from Bed, Bath and Bodyworks not only lifts your painfully narrow dorm bed 7 inches off the floor, but it also has an outlet built in. Each set has a twin 110-volt, 15-amp grounded power outlets, as well as twin USB 5-volt DC outlets with charging light for convenient charging of handheld devices.

You can get it here.

And now, the best: the iRoomba 650 Vacuum.

No one likes cleaning, but especially college students. Instead of living in filth, you can get this cordless, bagless, 8-pound vacuum. It works to clean up messes on every surface. One day, when artificial intelligence finally reaches the level of autonomy and the robots take their rightful place as our overlords, we’ll pay for this, but you might as well enjoy it while you can.

Cheating Get Back

Total Frat Move

GUYS! Cheating. It’s so bad. And yet, everyone keeps on doing it despite the known consequences. With that being said, we’re bringing you yet another cheating story gone wrong. One filled with hilarious revenge and genuine shame.

Yesterday, Total Frat Move posted an epic college cheating story after they received the following email from a reader:

My fraternity brother, Jordan, has apparently been playing with fire again. Some crazy girl who thought she was his girlfriend got wind he was messing around with another girl. She did what I assume any other insane person would do and put these fliers (see picture) all around town.

The second photo shows how many fliers one of our fraternity brothers took down on his walk back from class.

That “crazy girl” really went to f*cking town. Here were her posters:

Cheating Fail

No additional details about Jordan, Julia, and (presumably) his ex-nameless girlfriend were given, but we can assume things didn’t end great for anyone involved. Were they in a straight-up monogamous relationship? Did they have The Talk beforehand? Was Jordan confused about what “monogamous” meant?

We may never know, but you should know this – make sure everyone is on the same page before you go off licking some other girl’s a** hole.

So once again, can we all take a lesson from this? CAN WE?! SO THIS CAN BE DONE WITH?!

Actually, scratch that – keep up the stupidity, I need a good laugh at least once a day.

WATCH: New Central Intelligence Trailer Is Out And This Will Be The Summer’s Funniest Movie, By Far

central intelligence trailer

Seriously, are there two harder working dudes in Hollywood than the Rock and Kevin Hart? Just take a list at their IMDB’s over the last couple of years: the two of them are like movie factories. It was only a matter of time before these entertainment giants collided. Buddy comedies have been around forever, and what makes them successful is the chemistry of the two leads, and that’s exactly what these two appear to have. I mean even the visual juxtaposition of The Rock and Kevin Hart is hilarious in it of itself.

Surprisingly, the film’s got a little pedigree to it. The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (“We’re the Millers,” “Dodgeball”) froma a screenplay written by Ike Barinholtz (the dude who plays Seth Rogen’s buddy in Neighbors). But enough technical blabber, peep the trailer:

Central Intelligence tells the story follows a one-time bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count. Central Intelligence also star  Oscar nominee Amy Ryan (“Gone Baby Gone”), and Emmy winner Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”), and will hit theaters June 17, 2016.

Batman V Superman: Top 10 Best Batman & Superman Movies Ever Made Ranked

Batman V Superman, batman movies list

In case you haven’t heard, a little movie called Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice comes out next week. You heard of it?

Batman V. Superman is doing what both longtime movie and comic fans alike have been waiting for: putting the world’s two most iconic superheroes in the same film. And not only are they even in the same movie, but they’re going to spend most of the movie beating the crap out of each other. F*cking sweet. And if you’re one of those people who say, “That’s stupid. Superman would obviously kick the crap out of Batman”, then you’re an idiot. There is a precedent and history of Batman not only doing battle with Superman, but defeating him. Actually, come to think about it, I don’t think Batman ever loses. But I’m not going to ruin the surprise for you.

What I am going to do for you is get you prepared for BvS as best I can, by ranking all of the Batman and Superman movies ever made, in anticipation for their big clash. One asterisk though, I will not be including Superman III (1983) and Superman IV (1987) because they were crap movies. Simple as that.

The differences between The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel, and their respective movies, are endless. From tone, to character, to the color of their costumes, and even the different generations they inspire, the two heroes could not be more different. Batman is who were are, and Superman is who we could be. Batman is night, Superman is day. They’re opposites personified, which is why having them face off is brilliant. But in the mean time, check out this list of the best Batman and Superman movies ever made, so you can decide which ones you want to watch heading into the release of Batman V. Superman.

If you can’t already tell, I’m clearly over-the-top excited for this movie, which I think may actually change my life. Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice comes out next Thursday, March 24. So, without further ado, to help you get as hyped for BvS as I am, here are all the Batman and Superman movies ranked.

Texas Football Coach Threatens To Hang Black Players By Their Toes

Todd Campbell, a Centennial High School assistant football coach, is undergoing public scrutiny after threatening several black players, saying that he would “hang them from their toes” if they didn’t stop misbehaving.

According to The Dallas Morning News, documents detailing the incident were released from the Frisco school district earlier this week.

Students said coach Todd Campbell also stereotyped black students by claiming that they must run fast because they were eating fried chicken or drinking Kool-Aid. He would also say “esé,” a Spanish slang for “homeboy,” around Latino students and use the term “cracker,” according to documents released to The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday under an open records request.

Campbell resigned in early January after several students came forward to school authorities and complained that he was making racist comments to them. An investigation is still working its way to find if the allegations are in fact true.

Campbell has not made public comment, but the recent findings don’t look good. However, the newspaper stated that “during the district’s investigation, [Campbell] denied making any racially charged remarks, calling them “false accusations.” He told authorities that he made only one comment, in reference to “Malcolm X glasses” on a student, and that what he said wasn’t meant as a derogatory statement.” Parents and students say differently – apparently problems started last April.

In one instance, he was trying to quiet a group of students. “You need to be quiet. You see that rope over there, you see that tree back there, I’m going to hang you in that tree. I’m going to hang you by your toes,” Campbell said, according to one student who shared it with district officials

The coach also had four students pose and then pulled up a picture of the R&B group New Edition and compared them.

Complaints were also filed with the head coach, who has yet to speak out about the investigation.


PCB Spring Break 2016: Must-See Photos & Best Videos

For years, Panama City Beach was the mecca of Spring Break–and for all the crazy party photos and videos that came out of PCB, there were millions upon millions of debaucherous memories that were too wild to record. Things got so wild (borderline dangerous), that COED even crowned Panama City Beach as the #1 Trashiest Spring Break destination last year.

But this year things were supposed to be different. Drinking on the beach was made illegal for the month of March. The city ordered bars to shut down two hours earlier. Reports indicated that attendance would drop a full 30%.

Whether or not those figures are correct, we can report that things seem like they’re back to their old ways (minus the drinking on the beach). The Holiday Inn is still blasting Lion King to wake people up, La Vela is still as packed as ever, and college kids are still throwing and rocking not much else but beads.

We’ve pulled the best Panama City Spring Break photos and videos from 2016 and put them into this one post.

Kids these days, man. They won’t ever learn, will they? There are a couple ways to go about getting in a fight, and this video demonstrates the exact opposite. There are literally only a couple of vert BASIC GUIDELINES. They shouldn’t be hard to follow. Butttttt, this mouthy little white girl f*cked up in more ways than one.

-First: she used the “N-Word” rather aggressively. Never a smart move.

-Second: she picks a fight with a girl literally twice her size. I’m about 6 feet tall, 170 pounds. That’s like me going after a 7 foot dude weighing in over 300 pounds.

-Third: She actively entices a fight, and keeps her hands at her hips. B*tch, pick your hands up. Fighting 101.

All in all, this video is everything a viral video should be. Quick, simple, funny, and comes with a fat serving of Karma.

Brutal, right? Well check out the after photo. Chick got absolutely eithered.

 

Batman V Superman: Top Facts You Didn’t Know About Dawn of Justice

Batman V Superman facts

After what seems like years of anticipation, next week will finally bring the theatrical release of the long awaited film Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

Following the events of 2013’s Man Of Steel, fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be the first live-action film to feature both Batman and Superman, as well as the first theatrical film to feature live-action portrayals of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg.

The film was announced at 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International, after the release of Man of Steel.  Zack Snyder, director, and David Goyer, the writer, were both brought back in June 2013. Snyder stated that the film would take inspiration from the Batman limited series The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, but that it would follow an original premise. It was also clarified that the incarnation of Batman in the film would not be related to the one in the previous Batman film trilogy, as many fans had hoped. The film’s official title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was revealed in May 2014, with Snyder stated that having the “v” in the title instead of “vs.” was a way “to keep it from being a straight ‘versus’ movie, even in the most subtle way”. Henry Cavill later stated, “I wouldn’t call this a Superman sequel […] This is Batman versus Superman. It’s a separate entity altogether. It’s introducing the Batman character and expanding upon the universe, which was kicked off by Man of Steel.” Although the film originated as a sequel to Man of Steel, it was “revamped into a backdoor pilot for Justice League and/or an eventual stand-alone Batman movie.”

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane,  Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Holly Hunter as Finch, a United States Senator, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, and Ezra Miller as The Flash.

Can’t wait for Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice? Check out this video to learn other cool facts about the making of the epic Batman V. Superman.

University of Arizona Marginalized Students Group Demands $500,000 Diversity Budget

Though campus protests have become less ubiquitous in the media, they have yet to stop completely. Students at the University of Arizona are the latest to stand their ground, creating a group of “Marginalized Students” and a list of extensive demands that could bankrupt the university.

According to Reason.com, the group includes representatives from the Adalberto & Ana Guerrero Center, African American Student Affairs, Asian Pacific Student, Affairs, the LGBTQ Resource Center, Native American Student Affairs, the Women’s Resource Center, and other campus organizations.

And they all want a lot of things done.

Demands common to all oppressed participants include mandatory trigger warnings, which should be present in all classrooms in order to preempt “potentially problematic material.” Alternative assignments must be made available to any and all students who are made unsafe by the regularly scheduled curriculum.

The marginalized also want mandatory cultural sensitivity training for nearly everyone on campus: residence hall staff, members of Greek Life, and even the staff of the student newspaper, The Arizona Daily Wild Cat.

The Provost for Diversity and Inclusion would receive a budget of $500,000 to sponsor new diversity initiatives.

Then there’s the specific demands from each marginalized group of students.

The Latino/Latina student group wants to prohibit Border Patrol recruitment on campus; the Black Lives Matter group wants separate and additional sensitivity training; and the Asian-American students want everyone on campus to recognize that “we’re not all the same.” The LGBT student-group had a lengthy list of demands including more staff for their center, mandatory preferred pronoun usage in classes, and a redefinition of violence to include “emotional violence.”

The full list is insanely long, but you can read it in more detail here.

When questioned by The College Fix for clarification of the letter, the following reply from student Emma Muriel summed up the group’s thoughts pretty nicely: “You’ll never understand a marginalized students experience unless you are one, have experienced these things, or surround yourself with other individuals who have.”

This is true, but where is the line? If the University of Arizona isn’t diverse, school administrators should be doing something to attract a diverse student body. This is something of vital importance. But would someone really not attend a school because sensitive subject matter is addressed in a class? Trigger warnings seem pretty extreme… unless the professor is a full-blown racist (to which they shouldn’t have been hired in the first place), I don’t see what this is going to do for anyone but stop them from learning.

On the other hand, schools should be encouraging diversity, and money put into those programs is a positive thing. But if the programs aren’t established – or even the ideas – why would anyone commit?

Unfortunately the 19-page letter leaves no room for questions; an underlying threat of consequence is made abundantly clear to administrators who don’t take the list seriously.

“It is important to note that these are demands, not simply requests or suggestions. These represent thoughtful, meaningful reforms that are necessary in order to affirm the expectation of safety and real life equity… should these demands not be met or properly negotiated to our standards, we will mobilize our students.”

And so it continues. What do you think? Tell us in the comments below.

Ramarni Ball: Top 5 Hottest & Sexiest Videos Of Floyd Mayweather’s Girlfriend

Ramarni Ball videos

Ramarni Ball is reportedly Floyd Mayweather’s new girlfriend, which probably wouldn’t be anything you care about, until you realize she is 19-years-old and he 38. But it’s Floyd Mayweather we’re talking about here, so does it really surprise you?

Ball, who works in a shop for $9 per hour, is an aspiring singer who apparently caught Mayweather’s eye at a fan meet-and-greet in Cannock, Staffordshire. Photos appeared hours later that seem to show Ball sitting behind Mayweather in the back of a Rolls Royce when he left the venue. Less than one week later, Mayweather whisked the teen off to travel to the U.S. on his private jet. She’s been documenting her travels with Floyd on her Instagram page. According to Mirror, the two met during a fan event at Bar Sport in Cannock on February 12. Apparently she spent more than $600 to get in and meet him. Just days later the two jetted off to Amsterdam. During their travels, a friend told Daily Mail that “She’s with Floyd in America. They are having fun.”

Honestly, it’s all a little weird, and I can personally care less, but the internet cares (obviously), so here we are. And since we’re here, we might as well check out there 5 sexiest videos on  her Instagram.

Nike Hyperadapt 1.0 Are Real Power-Lacing Shoes Coming Next Year

0
0
Nike Innovation Summit 2016

Nike Innovation Summit 2016

Nike just announced the HyperAdapt 1.0–the first mass production sneakers to boast real life self-tying laces–at their Nike Innovation Summit today.

The new line of footwear is noticeably different than the Nike Mags made famous by Back To The Future, but perhaps the biggest is the fact that you’re actually going to be able to buy a pair of these. Because unlike the Nike Mags, they’re not going to cost you somewhere between $5K-$10K.

They’re also not going to be called “power laces.” The official term is “adaptive lacing.”

The final price of the HyperAdapts haven’t been released by Nike yet, but the company did announce that they will only be available to users of Nike+. In turn, Nike+ is being rebranded as their all-in-one product and events app.

Check out the introduction video from Nike below.


How They Work

The way that they work isn’t like the laces you’re used to. Instead, the HyperAdapt shoes use a series of battery-powered cinches that tighten the throat of the shoe. After the wearer puts them on, sensors in the HyperAdapt register their weight and position of the foot inside. “It reads if you’re heavy on your heel or heavy on your forefoot,” Nike’s vice president of design John Hoke says.

Once the shoe has tightened initially, the wearer can then press + or – buttons on the left side of the sneaker to tighten and loosen the shoe. To take the technology another step further, Hoke says that once the shoe has been worn a couple of times, it will automatically adjust to the user’s preferences.

The one downside to the new tech is that the laces are battery-powered, which means that you’ll need to charge them every two weeks.


Why Adaptive Laces, Now?

TechCrunch did try to explain the idea behind adaptive lacing.

In the launch announcement, Nike touted the self-tying shoes as a way to reduce a typical athlete concern, distraction.

So, to save wearers time, the shoes will automatically tighten as soon as you step into the shoe.

As much as we’d like to say that we can see real application in the sports world, we can’t see it yet. The HyperAdapt’s are mostly for the gimmick, but there’s nothing wrong with that. We’re also not completely sold on the style of the HyperAdapt 1.0. The upside is that it’s a lacing technology, so there’s a good chance we could see it in some of other other favorite kicks.

St. Patrick’s Day 2016 Memes: Funny Photos, Best Jokes & Images

St. Patrick’s Day: the time of the year when “drunk and disorderly” is not an offense, but a way of life. Even if you don’t personally take part, you’re sure to notice a spike in people decked out in the color green and public urination. St. Patty’s Day, which commemorates Irish heritage, is the fourth most popular drinking holiday in the U.S.—right behind New Year’s Eve, Christmas, and the Fourth of July.

It’s American popularity makes sense because, according to census data, there are 33.3 million people in the country who claim Irish ancestry. To put that in perspective, that’s seven times the current population of Ireland.

But, who is Patrick and what are we really celebrating?

What is St. Patrick’s Day?

Saint Patrick’s Day—also known as the Feast of Saint Patrick—is, technically, a religious celebration held in honor of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It’s on March 17, since that’s accepted as the “death date” of good ol’ Patrick. Ironically, Patrick wasn’t Irish. In the 5th century, he was a British kid who was kidnapped by Irish pirates and taken as a slave to Gaelic Ireland. Eventually, he’d find his way back to England, but not before finding God. Then, he became a priest and took it upon himself to Ireland and convert all the pagans there to Christianity.

So, Saint Patrick’s Day was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century and, since then, we’ve honored his memory by getting black-out drunk and making regrettable life choices that will probably end up being posted to Facebook so your grandma can see them.

Happy St, Patty's Day

Model Christine Burke is apparently now dating Scott Disick aka “Lord Disick.” Some media outlets are saying that Christine looks like Kendall Jenner, but we’re not seeing that resemblance at all. True, they’re both attractive–but that comparison is due more probably to the fact that Scott is the ex-husband of Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall’s sister, than anything.

According to her Instagram account, Christine is signed to Next Models. She lives in Los Angeles and tabloids are reporting that the two have been dating for weeks.

Donald Trump Sign Video

Facebook

This election cycle needs to end before we ALL have severe mental breakdowns. Julien Schuessler – a 20-year-old Bernie Sanders supporter according to his Facebook – went viral yesterday after he filmed himself running over a Donald Trump lawn sign with his jeep. The video took place in Wilmington, North Carolina on Tuesday, when the state’s primaries were held. Here’s how it went down:

Straight for the gold, then back to his journey.

Considering the video went viral almost immediately, it was only a matter of time before the police got ahold of it and ruined everyone’s fun. Apparently driving onto someone’s lawn and ruining their campaign sign is a HUGE no-no.

Well, f*ck. That sucks. His friends, on the other hand, are in full support.

This is the price you pay for really, really hating someone. At least he didn’t run a person over? We guess? Good luck Trump supporters – from the looks of it, you’re going to need it.

Why isn’t the news like this America? Every time I see a story about an excessively beautiful newscaster, she’s either Mexican or from somewhere in South America. Ladies, ladies, haven’t you heard America is the land of opportunity? Bring those talents of yours stateside.

25 year old newscaster Roxana Vancea was reading the forecast on Romanian television when she, luckily for us, had the brillant idea of jumping around in her low-cut V neck. Predictably, her rather largest chesticles had enough, and decided they were breaking free once and for all.

This brings back memories of the absolutely en fuego Mexican weather girl, Yanet Garcia. You remember her, right? If not, do yourself a favor and re-familiarize yourself.
