Pizza Hut removing Salad Bar in China

Posted by liblib @ HWZ

Lovers of Pizza Hut may be disappointed to learn that the chain's once popular self-serve salad bar is fading away in hundreds of Pizza Hut restaurants across China, with alternatives appearing in its place on the menu.

The China Division of Yum! Brands Inc. said Thursday that it would remove the salad bar option from its menu gradually to fit the changing diet demands of customers. They didn't reveal an exact time frame, self-serve salads are already gone from some Pizza Huts.

According to Yum! China, as salads become more popular, the self-serve option can no longer meet Chinese customers' demands for the variety and quality of salads. Accordingly, the salads offered should be "more professional," the company said.

But to some consumers, neither the removal nor the reason behind it is acceptable.

Some, especially young customers, see Pizza Hut's 32-yuan self-serve deal as more than just a salad. Only one trip to the salad bar is allowed, so how much one can fit into the plate decides how much one can eat; and the more you put, the more you eat. Some diners pile on the fruits and vegetables, aiming to get the most out of their meal, and sharing with friends and finding ways to fit more on the plate are part of the fun.

But all this salad-piling has been less fun for Pizza Hut, considering the salad bar's high cost and low profitability. Each item on the bar must be kept two-thirds full at all times and must be replaced with fresh ingredients every three hours.

Replacing the salad bar on Pizza Hut's menu are the new Smoked Salmon, Seafood Fruit, Grilled Chicken, Twin Potato and Tuna Salads, whose prices range from 16 to 25 yuan






Now not sure if the pics are real anot... but i seriously find it very creative to stack until like this...




but also feel it's too much for them to do this... so i guess it's their own fault for pizza hut to close down the salad bar

This is How a Pissed Off Designer Quits His Job

Supposedly the pop up prompt (which apparently doesn't do anything) was seen by the fellow's coworker who explained the situation:

He believed he was in a temp-to-hire position, and after three months of extra hours and butt-kissing, turns out it's just a temp position. He was a good worker too. I'd have recommended him. Too bad he burned his bridges... Obviously he had contemplated quitting long enough to make this thing, but still refused to speak to anyone about his feelings. Ironically, he complained about the 'divas' at his last job.

lolz this is pretty ingenious of the fella, maybe can give fellow coders/programmers some ideas on wat to do when they quit their job :)

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

When "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" was announced for a summer 2011 release, fans went wild. Then the project hit rough waters following the departure of studio chief Dick Cook, a big supporter of "Pirates" star Johnny Depp. The Jack Sparrow actor subsequently expressed hesitation about continuing with the series.

Still, the project sails forward. Depp's not a lock until he signs off on the script, which he hasn't yet seen, but Captain Barbossa actor Geoffrey Rush told MTV in late September that he's been told to keep his schedule open for cameras to roll next spring.

And before any of that took place, in midsummer, word emerged that Rob Marshall, director of the Academy Award-winning "Chicago," is negotiating to direct "On Stranger Tides." So when MTV's Josh Horowitz spoke to Marshall at the press junket for his upcoming musical "Nine," he had to squeeze in a few questions about the status of his work on "Pirates."

"[The deal is] very close to happening, actually," Marshall said. "I'm very excited ... excited to work with Johnny."

It's an unusual change of gears for the series. Gore Verbinski directed the three previous entries, a good pairing of material with the same guy who directed "The Ring" and the Brad Pitt/Julia Roberts-starring action/thriller "The Mexican." Marshall, on the other hand, represents a sharp change in direction, what with his "Chicago" and (soon enough) "Nine" cred — two musicals.

"I think [Disney is] probably looking for a fresh approach," he explained. "I think it's good when you're doing these series' of films, like 'Harry Potter.' It's nice to bring in a fresh approach." The real question is, how does Marshall define "fresh"?

"I don't know yet. Johnny's playing Captain Jack, so that's there," he revealed. "It'll be its own thing. I'll approach it as a film." This confirmation is at odds with that he'd only do another "Pirates" if he read a script that was "worthy of the audience's attention," but Marshall is pretty sure the actor is in.

"You know what, [he's in] as far as I know. The truth is, we all love Dick [Cook]. He's a very special, special man," Marshall explained. "So [his departure from Disney] was hard for everybody. But Johnny is a great guy and we've been looking to work together for awhile, so it's going to be nice to be able to do that, hopefully."

Marshall doesn't have a timetable, though he is certain that "On Stranger Tides" is next for him. Given the musical background, we have to wonder if Depp will get to break into song, especially after his success with Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd" adaptation. And a Jack Sparrow song-and-dance number could be an amazing thing indeed.

"I'm sure we'll do something," Marshall revealed. There'll be a little something in there ... from us. The great thing is that I love Johnny. He's incredible, as an actor and as a person too. So I know it'll be a great experience."

Some dude married his Love Plus girlfriend

Just when you think enough time has passed for gamers to get over the novelty of Love Plus and move on to a more normal experience, some damn fool announces he’s wed Nene, one of the dating sim’s three virtual girlfriends.

The otaku brought his DS and a copy of the game to a chapel in Guam (I wonder if it’s the same guy we featured two weeks ago?), where he took Nene Anegasaki’s hand in marriage. The newlyweds plan to hold a reception in Japan, and have invited the media to attend and view slides from their wedding and courtship.

Local video streaming site NicoNico Douga plans to broadcast the November 22nd event live, starting around 12:00, so clear your evening schedule for that. There’s no word yet on whether the couple has consummated the marriage, but I suppose we’ll find out when we see the condition of the husband’s Nintendo DS.

Something is wrong -_-

oh btw for those who have no idea wat's love plus..

From Wiki

Love Plus takes place in "Towano City" a developing city surrounded by beautiful mountains and ocean. You, the player, transfer to Towano private high school. Furthermore in this city, there are 3 girls where you can have a predestined like encounter. While going to school and part time jobs, memories and feelings accumulate between you and the girls.
During that time, for the girls you were an important "friend". But, the girls notice a faint feeling...
The girls earnestly feel, "I want him to love me." and adjusts to your tastes while giving their best. And so comes the fated confession day... With strong determination and courage, she conveys her feelings with all that she has.
But it's not the end when you are told her feelings. The confession so to speak is just the prologue.
From here, a never ending story together begins.

yes.. it's a bloody game...
