this week's [tip of the week] is brought to you by:

"Three Orange Whips"

An Orange Whip is a sweet cocktail, made with rum and vodka containing the base alcohols mixed with cream and orange juice. It is typically blended to a froth like a milkshake, and poured over ice in a Collins glass.

Ingredients :

- 4 oz orange juice

- 1 oz rum

- 1 oz vodka

- 1 package cream

The drink had a resurgence in the early1980's after the release of The Blues Brothers, Where John Candy asks the uniformed police he's with if they want "orange whips". Whether you consume alcholic drinks or not, it's always a hit when you use the quote,

"Who wants an orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips!"

If by some chance you haven't seen this movie, or have forgotten the clip, here it is.

this weeks tip is:

the [previous] command.

alright, this command is a little tricky, and i still haven't mastered it yet, but i think it may come in handy every once in a while.

basically, after you have completed any command, i.e. move, copy, mirror, rotate, and have gone back to an inactive screen. you can re-select all the objects you just had selected by using the [previous] command.

simply activate the command you'd like to use, and the hit [p], and then enter. this should select the objects that had been previously selected.

so far this command has helped out when moving buildings on to site plans to make sure things are lined up, and then moving them off again.
