Playstation 3 + Fail0verflow = ???
by Jason on Jan.26, 2011, under Life, Programming, Technology, Video Games
If you haven't seen this presentation yet…well, you call yourself a nerd? Okay, it is rather long (~45 minutes) but to anybody with an interest in consoles, homebrew, hacking, or general poking around inside machines, it's a pretty interesting listen.
Whoever was behind the security system in the PS3 failed miserably, and failed hard, hence the title of that presentation "Console Hacking 2010: PS3 Epic Fail". Heck, I could have solved that maths problem presented at the end, even if it was shown to me four years ago! That right there is GCSE level difficulty. Of course the rest of the lecture requires either the ability to smile and listen, or an in depth understanding of computer hardware, but it's quite funny to see that kind of complexity broken down to something a 15 year old could solve. One can imagine the little monkeys in Sony running around in panic.
I do agree that the reason hackers haven't hacked the PS3 yet is because they've not had reason to. Most hardcore hackers aren't too interested in piracy, just the challenge, and Sony made the mistake of creating a challenge by pulling OtherOS.
Also of interesting reading is this article which details the possible repercussions of this epic fail.
Ironically, seeing this has actually made me want to get a PS3.
Quote of the Day
"So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,
Farewell remorse; all good to me is lost.
Evil, be thou my good."

As the educational budget cuts continue to roll in, and club sport participation rises, is is possible that sports will no longer be offered in school? Are we seeing the beginning if the privatization of youth sports?
The model that exists here in the USA is unique to the USA. In Canada and other countries, high school coaches are rarely paid, and weakly compensated. The difficulty that exists with the current system in the USA is when there are paid coaches who put a higher priority on coaching than they do on teaching and the exorbitant salaries that are paid to theses coaches (in particular football coaches). Sport programs, when conducted properly, have tremendous benefits, however, do the abuses of the educational system by "coaches" countermand the supposed benefits? The privatization of youth sports already exists in the form of AAU and summer travel teams. These programs are often as ineptly conducted as many high school programs and have fewer checks and balances. As long as there is a scoreboard the desire to win will outweigh the desire to teach.

Swimming in Empanadas
-Day 24-
Mora Hostel's pastries were scrumdiddlyumptious. Under the bow of Ian's raised eyebrow, I demolished five in quick succession, fuelling up for a day of relaxation at the Cacheuta natural spring spa. Then realised I'd peaked too early, when they brought out the duche de leche crepes, oops.
Our exuberant and rather toothless bus driver gave what we assumed was an entertaining speech in theatrical Spanish; we chuckled along with the other passengers, wondering if we were missing any vital information about our trip? We'd find out soon enough…
From Mendoza, our bus climbed 2000 meters above sea level, passing through valleys of vineyards cocooned in barren chestnut coloured mountains. We reached a dusty "village" (though I'm not sure that's what this was) it was a dust bowl with a couple of tired wooden shacks selling the usual trinkets, cold drinks, and fly-covered pastries. Then everyone got off the bus. Were we here? This wasn't exactly what we'd imagined when we'd heard about the famous Cacheuta springs?
In it's heyday, Cacheuta was home to one of Argentina's most luxurious spa resorts. The Transandine Railway used to stop in Cacheuta, and a special lift would transport the guests and their furs & gold, directly from the platform to the hotel. Today all that is left of the resort is this very lift shaft, after it was devastated by a glacial flood in 1934. Since the train line stopped coming here, the town sadly never returned to it's former glory. However more recently a new spa has been built on the same site, and adjacent a natural spring water park was also constructed.
Unable to extract a word of direction from Mr Funny Driver, we followed a trail of people and found we were indeed at the springs. And they were fabulous! Waterfalls cascaded into about forty different pool sections, staggered at various levels down the face of the mountain. The water blue and crystal clear, the sun blazing; today was a day for topping up our tans and not much else!
Choosing a pool was like russian roulette, some were scorching hot, others luke warm and some were freezing cold! So after making a circuit of the whirlpool and Ian convincing me to go down the waterside (which was much scarier than it looked) we sprawled out in a cool shallow pool for the afternoon. It was a busy day at the springs, and as midday crept up strings of people arrived and set up camp in the sounding barbeque picnic areas. We were envious of the racks of ribs and scent of barbecued chicken floating by our noses, as we'd come equipt with an unimpressive selection of apples and bananas. But then I discovered the alfajores ice cream sandwich, and all at once, equilibrium was restored.
We got back to the hostel later than expected, but just on time to take part in the empanada making course with two Australian girls. Over a glass of Malbec, the fantastic hostel cook and her translator guided us through the surprisingly simple steps of making her delicious Carne (meat) empanadas. Try it at home, here's the recipe:
Carne Empanada Recipe
Ingredients (in order of appearance):
2 eggs
Olive oil, drizzles
2 onions, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
Green olives (approx 15) roughly chopped
Pack of mince meat, 250g
Chilli powder, 1 teaspoon
Cumin powder, 1 teaspoon
Salt & pepper
Empanada pastry - either make your own, recipe here or ready made puff or filo pastry cut in the right shape should do ok too!
How to make them:
Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees celius.
1. Hard boil 2 eggs (for about 9 minutes). Once cool enough, peel and chop them up roughly into lots of small pieces, put to one side.
2. Drizzle some olive oil into another pan, when hot add the chopped onion and red pepper and cook slowly until browned through, add a few big pinches of salt and pepper.
3. Add the mince meat, cumin and chilli powder to the mixture and cook until browned through and smelling delish.
4. Take off the heat and mix in the chopped eggs and olives
5. Make the empanada pastry or lay out and cut the ready made stuff
6. Grease up or line a flat baking tray
7. Put a large table spoon or two of the meat mixture into one side of the pastry round. Then fold over the send half of the pastry, wet the edges with your fingers and pinch to 'crimp' the two edges together and seal in the mixture in a pretty crescent moon shape.
8. Bake for approximately 20 minutes (or however long it says on the pastry packet)
9. ¡Buen apetito! They should look something like this!?

DOC and MFish staff have been holding meetings around the country to answer questions about the plan and to encourage people write submissions to explain how each option in the plan stands to affect them. The Ministers of Conservation and Fish want to know people's views on the options and how they might be affected. The draft plan, public submissions, analysis and a report about cultural, social and economic impacts of the options will be forwarded to the Ministers for consideration.

High School Gibson Preview 2012
4 X 100M Class one
The Green Island boys intend to make history. Todd, Royce, Whitelock and Vidal are on a mission to put Green Island on the track and field map. But they need to be aware of the Wolmers aggregation led by Youth Olympic champion Odeen Skeen. The surprise package here could be Kingston College who has a very balanced team.
1. Green Island
2. Wolmers
4. Munro
5. Calabar
6. Steths
7. Munro
8. Herbert Morrison
4 X 100M class Two
The Jamaica College team of Walker, Mason, Clarke and Baker will be just too much for the competition. They will become the first class two team to break 41 seconds. Kingston College, Wolmers and Calabar will fight for the minor places.
1. Jc
3. Wolmers
4. Calabar
5. Herbert Morrison
6. St. Jago
7. Steths
8. Holmwood
4 X 100M Class Three
Kingston College holds all the cards here. The Roje Fearon led squad won at Western Relays and should repeat the feat at Gibson relays. Calabar however is a dangerous side, and with top sprinters Porter and Nash looking good all season, could create the upset.
2. Calabar
3. Steths
4. Wolmers
6. Munro
7. St. Jago
8. Camperdown
4 X 100M Class Four
Kingston College and Calabar resume serious rivalry here. Calabar will need their depth of talent and a sizeable lead to hold off the young KC sensation Matherson, because they know that no lead will be safe with him in striking distance.
1. Kingston
2. Calabar
4. St. Jago
5. Herbert Morrison
6. Wolmers
7. Camperdown
8. Steths
4 X 400M Open
This will be a battle for the ages with a number of schools in with a good chance of taking the title. Manchester High with national junior sprinters Williams and McLeod currently holds pole position, but KC, STETHS, Calabar, Wolmers and JC all have squads that could win it all.
1. Manchester
2. Calabar
3. Kingston College
5. Wolmers
7. St. Jago
8. Garvey Maceo
4 X 800M Open
This will be the most competitive 2 Mile event for a number of years. KC, St. Jago, Holmwood, JC will be the main contestants here. Calabar's young team will give a good account of themselves but will not be able to overcome the loss of top man "Bela". Jamaica College is the defending champion and has the same team that gave them victory last year, but a lot will depend on the health of top man Dacosta.
1. Jc
2. Kc
3. Holmwood
4. St. jago
5. Calabar
6. Wolmers
7. Clarendon
8. Vere
As usual, the 4 X 200M will not necessarily have the top teams, so any card can play there.
4 X 100M class One
Herbert Morrison boasts top sprinters Palmer and Stevens and should start favorite here, but with Sherika Jackson running the anchor leg for Vere, no lead is safe. Edwin Allen, St. Jago, Holmwood and Alpha will be gunning for a top three spot.
1. Vere Technical
2. Herbert Morrison
3. Edwin Allen
4. Holmwood
5. Alpha
6. St. jago
7. St. Andrew
8. Queens
4 X 100M Class Two
Edwin Allen welcomes Christania Williams to her first big high school race for the institution. She will not disappoint and will lead her class two team to a sub 45 second run, the first in history a team in any class accomplishes this feat. The Edwin Allen team will also have other top sprinters like champs silver medalists Cameron and Allen. However, danger lurks close by , in the form of Holmwood technical whose team is also filled with quality sprinters like Johnson, Dallas and Thompson who have all run on national youth teams.
1. Edwin Allen
2. Holmwood
3. Vere technical
4. St. Jago
5. Herbert Morrison
6. Camperdown
7. Wolmers
8. Immaculate
4 X 100M Class Three
This race will be closely contested and all of the top teams are in with a great chance. The top five teams have all run below 48 seconds this year, while Excelsior won the class four relays last year. Last year's double sprint champion Shauna Helps gives Wolmers the edge, but Edwin Allen's Stanley and St. Andrews Burton are quite capable of leading their schools to victory.
1. Wolmers
2. Edwin Allen
3. Holmwood
4. Herbert Morrison
5. St. Andrew
6. Excelsior
7. St. Jago
8. Hydel
4 X 100M class four
Edwin Allen is the top team here and should win easily. The Shelece Clarke led team could make history by being the first class four team to run below 47 seconds. Wolmers, St. Jago and Hydel have very good squads and should compete for the minor places.
1. Edwin Allen
2. Wolmers
3. Hydel
4. St. Jago
5. Holmwood
6. Manchester
7. St. Andrew
8. Vere Technical
Vere Technical rules supreme here. They are the defending champions and with three national junior sprinters Jackson, James and Mcneil in their squad, should have things their way. Holmwood is their closest challenger, with top junior nationals Russell and Gordon, but will not have enough ammunition to challenge Vere.
This will be a straight fight between the the top contenders Edwin Allen and Holmwood. Edwin Allen's squad of Montaque, Eubanks, Thompson and Gardener is quite deep, but may find the Holmwood squad led by Gordon, Plummer and new sensation Buchanan to be be too much to handle.
1. Holmwood
2. Edwin Allen
3. Steths
4. St. jago
5. Vere
6. Spauldings
7. Oberlin
8. Manchester
The 4 X 200M will not be contested seriously by the top teams who will reserve their ammunition for the mile relay. So deep teams like Edwin Allen could have the edge here.

I have to say that I was surprised that it is better than I thought it would be. Suspenseful, investigative with some fairly good action scenes. There was one which made me go "Hmm?" but overall this is a good film for the genre.
I actually waited 2 days after the movie to review it, and am glad I did as I probably would have given this a little better rating if I didnt take the time to really think about it. I did not read the books, and have noticed many say that Jack Reacher is suppose to be alot taller, well over 6 foot tall, which Tom Cruise definitaly isnt, but being I didnt read the book, and honestly not being a Tom Cruise fan, did think he did a good job playing his part, there was plenty of action throughout. The only real problem I have with this movie, and maybe if you see it you'll pay real close attention to the story, but I didnt get the "Plot" of the movie, or if I do understand the plot in what I think it was, then it seems far fetched that so many people would be killed for just that. I dont want to give the movie away, but do suggest when you learn why the shootings happened, really pay close attention the real "why", what was gained. I'd give this 2 1/2 stars because I'm still lost a bit.
An absolutely very smart film!! Tom Cruise is fantastic as always! I thought Skyfall, Breaking Dawn, and even The Hobbit were going to be the best movies of the year, not so! Jack Reacher has a great script, excellent acting, great balance of acting and action and very well thought out. I love a film where you think you know what's going on but you really don't. By far the best movie of the holiday season and a grown up only must see.
Let me start by saying that I am not crazy about Cruise. That being said, I went with an open mind. I mean, I enjoyed the MI movies......this movie just didn't make it past average for me. They dwelled on the character of Jack Reacher more than they did the plot. They didn't develop the story well. I know we will see more Jack Reacher movies coming out........I just won't be spending my money on them.
Watch Tom Cruise fight bad guys and not really get hurt! Watch Tom Cruise get hit in the back of the head with a lead pipe and barely bleed! Watch Tom Cruise drive 60's muscle cars just like in some of his other movies! Watch Tom Cruise go shirtless in his motel room with his co-star! Watch his new blonde co-star try to act and fail! Watch people shot with a sniper rifle simply fall "gently" to the ground!Watch Tom come into the room at just the right time! Watch Tom Cruise play the same character over and over!Watch Werner Herzog be wasted in a supporting role!Zzzzzzzz............
Read the book and series and really enjoyed it. While they followed the story well, Reacher's power and strength comes from his understanding of his very large size and how to control and use it effectively. Having the shortest guy in the movie try to convince you that he is that tough by looking at him (and why need 5 guys to go after him if he is so short in stature? - not believable). Can't believe one punch from him could knock someone out in the same way as one bad guy twice his size, and have the audience believe it, insults our intelligence.Let's not wreck the book or Jack Reacher's reputation and find a real actor that actually reflects the character. Why Childs ever allowed this change in character or role selection, if he had anything to say about it, is a mystery. There had to be a better choice of actors who would better reflect the real Jack Reacher.
As Lee Child said in a recent interview, Reacher's size is a characteristic, not his character. Cruise gets at most of his character, adn Rosamund Pike does a wonderful job. The action and dialogue is a little too comic book style, but I still really enjoyed the movie, and assume the Reacher series will now have a lot fo sequels
Was not disappointed because I knew nothing about the character from the books and therefore had no preconceived notions on its staying true to the book. However, it was very entertaining and Cruise is always enjoyable. good plot twists and action. Not a 'must see" but if you want an entertaining distraction this could be it.
Critics are retards! They didn't like it because the movie moves a half-step faster than you can figure it out. LOTS OF FUN! And it's very lame to say that it's a cross between the Bourne movies (of which the last one was stupid and forgettable) and the James Bond movie (of which Skyfall stands alone as work of art and a dark, emotional movie ).So yeah, go, and spend a little money to see at a good theater with a GOOD sound system.
Great Story Line! The CASTING WAS PERFECT! I Love this movie! Tom always gives PERFECT performances in his military/ex military roles!!! I lovem seeing your "daddy eyes" when talking to "Sandy"!!. All Actors in this Movie played their roles perfectly!!!!
The timing of the release of this movie due to current events hurts it's appeal. The opening was uncomfortable because of this, but the acting and plot quickly got me past this. I found myself involved and entertained. Action, mystery and humor.........no deep message. Just an entertaining release from the daily worries.
The first 45 minutes of Jack Reacher are really awkward. There's a healthy helping of bad cheese and leaps of faith to put together plot devices. Later, the movie switches from mostly dimwitted and corny to very clever. The action is great and the violence squeezes every inch of its PG-13 rating. Jack Reacher is playful all along. I was impressed by the one liners and wit of the namesake character. The majority of his quips are fresh and don't come off as cliche´. Tom Cruise then nails the delivery. The score is out of place in this movie. The movie is playful, yet the score is very serious. The score seems in direct contrast to the movie in a way that comes off as comical. Jack Reacher is equal parts fun/smart and predictable/cheesy. It's a good watch that I'd give a B-. I don't know if there was enough there to get me to read the books though.I've decided I'd like to connect with more people on Fandago. If you like my reviews, add me as a fan. I'll add you back!
It seemed as though the movie was written for the immature. An audience that had a romantic sense of the hero as this rough, tough guy that likes women, but sees them as weaklings to be protected. The hand-to-hand fight scene near the end was completely silly & unnecessary. Why did they make the effort to establish Reacher's credibility as a top quality sniper if is was not going to be relevant later? Having said that, I admit that the movie was well made & well acted. I just wish that Tom Cruise was not such a nut-job Scientologist, since I like his movies, but I am conflicted when supporting the CofS in any way (like paying to see a Tom Cruise movie).
Smart artists at work on this film. From the first frame until the last it was enjoyable to me. One of my favorite movies is Bullitt with Steve Mcqueen. Now I have two favorite films. Go.
OK, the biggest problem I have with this movie: Tom "too short" Cruse. If you have read any of the Reacher books, which are awesome, you know the character is tall, blonde, and built. He's an ex-army cop. Tom Cruse, by contrast, is short, wimpy, and gay-ish. Whoever cast this movie failed miserably. A no-name actor would have been a far better choice for the intro to a series. I can't fathom why they would have cast him in this role, unless he bought the rights to the film, and had himself cast in it.Bottom line, the rest of the movie doesn't matter, it just doesn't fly with Tom Cruse as the lead.

DURHAM - Middle school students in Durham Public Schools now have several options for focused learning in non-magnet programs.
DPS administrators Monday announced new instructional focus areas for Brogden, Carrington, Githens and Lucas middle schools.
The changes are the result of several "kitchen table conversations" conducted last year by the district.
"We had lots of discussion in our community in regard to program offerings in our middle schools, wanting to make sure our middle schools had programming that would serve all students, regardless if they attended a magnet middle school or a traditional home-based middle school," said Eric Becoats, DPS superintendent, during Monday's briefing.
The new effort, dubbed "Moving in the Middle," encompasses this revamped focus for four non-magnet schools as well as new magnet options: The School for Creative Studies (a design academy for grades 6-12 where Chewning Middle currently resides) and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs at Neal and Lowe's Grove.
DPS worked with school improvement teams, consisting of teachers, faculty and parents, to devise focus areas for the non-magnet schools.
Brogden Middle chose leadership development, inspired by Stephen Covey's "Leader in Me" curriculum. Students are expected to learn problem-solving skills, public speaking, debate, interdisciplinary studies and community service.
Renee Trapp, Brogden principal, said "teachers and parents really embraced this concept."
Carrington Middle picked global connections, with an eye toward global consciousness and collaboration.
"Globally conscientious students can excel in an interconnected world," said Holly Emanuel, principal at Carrington.
Githens Middle will offer leadership through service, promoting community service, character development, compassion and civic responsibility.
Principal Tonya Williams said Githens teachers will let students take the lead in proposing ideas for service projects, such as homelessness and hunger, and then teachers will connect those interests to the curriculum.
"The options are endless," she said.
Lucas Middle, which opened this fall with a project-based-learning focus, will expand on that in 2013-2014. Principal Thomas Seckler said Lucas projects last 10 to 14 days and feature one topic.
"Moving forward, we're going to have more ambitious projects," Seckler said. The projects will last longer and cover multiple disciplines.

Ouch. That kind of list is going to be brutal against anything not designed to kill hordes - especially elite troops like Marines, Eldar or - of course - Harlequins.
Hmm... I don't know. I think the ability to Infiltrate, Scout or Outflank is pretty powerful already. I don't know that adding in a Shadowseer with his Veil of Tears or the Stealth rule is really needed. We just have to be careful with them.
If I did add it, it might be an option for the Shadowseer to be upgraded, like the Death Jester gains his Veteran Status. It would maybe upgrade his stats in a similar fashion, and give him the Master Infiltrator rule...? I don't know - I'll think about it.
Yeah, they aren't great at anti-horde. But then, everyone has to have a weakness of some sort, don't they? Against Orks, I'd suggest the bigger guns on the DJ's (Brightlance, Dark Lance, etc) to pop their vehicles. Of course, if you are facing a horde like this, that doesn't help. In that case, if you know in advance, I'd say go for things like Shrieker Cannon or Splinter Cannon and run them with the Harlequin Troupes. Their Assault Weapon status would keep them firing on the move, and the Troupe would provide more protection for them. Powerblades are a nice addition here.
I'm not sure what you mean here. His Shuriken Catapult is Assault 2 and his Nightweaver is an Assault 1 Template (i.e. Flamer type). The only "1 shot" weapon is the Fusion pistol option - which isn't optimal against Horde Orks but should usually equal one dead Ork before charging (assuming you hit). The Nightweaver should have torn them to shreds (seeing as it is a S6 Template), and even the Shuriken Catapult is nothing to ignore.
Did you read the rules for the Sonic Cannon? It causes D6 hits, and has a Strength between 4 and 6 depending on how many Hits you roll. If you still think that is underwhelming, I have been considering adding +1 to the number of hits caused per Hit rolled as well, or maybe making it D3 hits per Hit (if that makes sense). This weapon is still a WIP, but I don't want to go the way of a Blast Weapon as that doesn't fit in with the existing rules for the Vibro cannon (upon which this is based).
I'm very interested to hear more about how they faired. What did you arm them with, what did they do that caused you to declare that theh "did well"? Since this is a controversial unit (at least on another site I've posted this at), I want solid evidence that they help out the Harlequins as a whole, and more than just my own playtests would be helpful.
lol - nice. I think you could hardly be expected to have faired better against so many Orks. I'd love to see how this same list played against a more balanced Ork list with some vehicles and other bits and bobs cutting their numbers down a bit.
Well, at least he didn't get them all!

Grilling spatulas can be up to twice the size of your typical household spatula. They are great for flipping extra large burgers, steaks or even scooping up small pizzas. Better grill spatulas are between 16 and 18 inches long and have a large beveled leading edge blade.
Because of the larger size the weight can become an issue with these spatulas. Imagine cooking at a family barbecue where you are grilling for hours on end. That extra pound or so that the very large spatula carries will eventually begin to wear on your arm. That's why most restaurant cooks use a smaller lightweight spatula for cooking all day. Longer doesn't necessarily mean heavier the thicker blades are usually the culprits.
Another thing to consider is that spatulas with wooden handle are not dishwasher safe.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Nuggets snap Thunder's win streak with OT victory
Kenneth Faried scored the go-ahead layup in overtime, and the Denver Nuggets overcame 30-plus point games from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook to beat Oklahoma City 121-118, snapping the Thunder's six-game winning streak.
DENVER — After forcing overtime with a 13-2 run in the final three minutes of regulation, the Thunder eventually was done in by a "three" in the final three minutes of overtime against the Denver Nuggets.

Not a 3-point shot, nor a 3-point play, but three offensive fouls were called against OKC in the final three minutes of the five-minute extra period.
Each call was key as the Nuggets snapped the Thunder's six-game winning streak with a 121-118 victory Sunday before a sellout crowd of 19,155 at the Pepsi Center.
Kendrick Perkins fouled out on an illegal screen with 2:56 remaining in overtime and the Thunder trailing by two points.
Thabo Sefolosha was whistled for a hip check with 58.3 seconds left, which resulted in the Nuggets taking a one-point lead at the 46.5 mark.
The final blow came when Nick Collison was called for a moving screen with 6.1 seconds remaining as Kevin Durant was attempting to break free from Andre Iguodala for a potential game-winning shot with the Thunder trailing 117-116.
"One of the things we don't do, we don't complain," OKC coach Scott Brooks said afterward. "They call it as they see it. They do their job. I do my job and the players do their job. That's neither here, or neither there. They outplayed us tonight."
It brought a gut-wrenching end to an emotional weekend for Brooks, who chose to be at the game even though his mother, Lee, died on Saturday.
Brooks flew to California on Saturday and returned on Sunday in time to coach his team.
It was the second straight overtime game for OKC, which has had astounding success in games that go extra minutes.
Before its loss against Denver, the Thunder was 4-0 this season and 15-3 in overtime games since 2010-11.
OKC appeared to be done, trailing 107-96 with 3:04 remaining in regulation. The Thunder started out slowly and was particularly sluggish much of the fourth quarter before coming to life with a 13-2 run to close out regulation.

I'm most looking forward to this show, even though critics seemed split on it. Some really like the black comedy and the outstanding cast of Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell. Others find it soulless. I really want to like it since I would love to find something worthy of Kristen Bell's talent after Veronica Mars.

She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Bananas and papayas fruit within a year and all year around, watermelon twice a year! :)
Hey there, what's good in the hood - besides food ;)?
Nice to meet you Tina!
That's awesome that you'll grow your own food in Denmark, post some pictures down the road!
Thanks for the add, I hope you can make it to Spain, we will make it a great place for fruit lovers to meet.
Hi Rawzilla. Glad you are getting back. Best wishes for 2012. There is another fruit festival scheduled for september... check it out it´s gonna be too much fun:
Good to hear. It's the first day of the rest of your life!
Keep us in the loop of your strategies if your like. Could well help someone else on their journey :)
Howdy, Rawz!
Haven't seen you much in these parts recently. Hope all's well in Denmark :)
The reason the earth is spinning, is not because there's a motor somewhere turning it. It is spinning for the same reason a top spins. If you look at a top just after it starts spinning, it looks like it's spinning at a steady speed, but of course it is constantly slowing down. The earth is the same... it was put into a spin by who knows what, but it is momentum that is keeping it spinning, just like a top. The earth is always slowing down, but because it is so huge, it is slowing down veeeery slowly. And any changes to its axis will also change veeeery slowly... over centuries, not suddenly (unless a gigantic asteroid smacks into the earth).
Same goes for the earth's magnetic fields. What dictates where the needle on a compass points is the magma flow inside the earth. Yes, one day the needle will point to a different location than it points to today, but this will change sloooowly.
For reasons I don't understand, humans like to set dates for things. I can't wait to hear the explanations when nothing happens in 2012; I'm sure they will make perfect sense, even though the whole thing makes no sense at all.
Just wanted to mention that you left me a comment that began with...
Hi Don
I've read several times here in 30BAD, that when you're a raw vegan you don't need quite as much iron, calcium and possibly other nutrients as well. Do you know what the numbers are? I'd like...
...but I couldn't access it (what you see above is what is included in the email I get). Did you delete the comment after posting it? Anyway, please do send it again.
LFRVFVNS is Low Fat Raw Vegan Fruit Vegetables Nuts & Seeds. Another popular one is FLRVHFPLG which is Low Fat Raw Vegan High Fruit Plus Leafy Greens. Me? I don't use any labels; if I'm asked what kind of diet I eat, I simply say "the diet humans are designed to eat." If the questioner wants more info, I'm happy to give some details.

Meanwhile, the decision to tax bank deposits may hit Russia particularly hard since half of all the bank deposits in Cyprus are believed to be held by Russians. According to Moody's, Russian corporate deposits are worth about $19 billion and any default could affect the servicing of bank debt in Russia.
The euro plunged 1% versus the U.S. dollar to $1.29. Gold prices jumped $12 to 1,604.60 an ounce. Oil prices edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.96% from 2% late Friday.
Wall Street's so-called fear gauge, the CBOE market volatility index, or VIX rose nearly 20%. It remains at historically low levels though. And CNNMoney's own Fear & Greed Index is still in Greed mode.
European bank stocks were under pressure. National Bank of Greece, Banco Santander and Barclays all fell. In the U.S., shares of Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase also were lower.
JC Penney shares rallied after analysts at ISI Group suggested the troubled retailer could raise $10.8 billion by leasing space in 300 of its stores as part of a real estate investment trust.
Shares of Carnival Corp. slid 3%, after the cruise line issued a weak sales forecast for the year on Friday. The company has had a string of mechanical issues over the last several weeks.

Recommended Shopping by Groupon Customers
Biking strengthens, tones, burns off calories, and relieves stress. It also reduces your carbon footprint by conserving precious fuels that are better spent building new bicycle factories (whose products will lead to even more fuel conservation, and so on). And biking costs you precisely $0 per gallon, saving you buckets of cash. Although today's Groupon for the Marin Kentfield FS is not $0, it's close enough—and pretty much a steal, given the quality of Marin bikes. The Kentfield FS is especially perfect for commuters, but will also serve you well on a rigorous workout sesh or a leisurely Sunday ride. A lightweight aluminum model, it only weighs 27.5 pounds, so even those who are flabby of bicep can lift it with minimal effort or strain. While its 700 x 35 tires translate into smoother rides, its powerful brakes will help you stop safely. Finally, its Shimano shifters and derailleurs will provide the control and flexibility you seek as you shift between its 21 gears.
The Denim Lounge's jean-centered staff aids customers in selecting an ideal cut, color, and style of premium denim pant to complement their body type. Fellas sport fashionably casual leg wear, such as the Big Star slim-fit jean ($50), and ladies partner their favorite cashmere blouse or chainmail under-armor with Hudson Signature boot-cut denim ($106). The clean double-stitching of DL1961 midrise ankle skinny jeans bestows legs with chic allure ($158), and Red Engine Jewel FireBrand jeans brandish dark colors that complement nightlife outfits ($167). For a complete ensemble, customers can take 20% off a second item, handy for matching a new pair of pants with a trendy top, snug sweater, or leopard-print blouse to intimidate purse-snatching zebras.
Get caffeinated for a cause with today's side deal: $10 gets you a two-pound bag of Ugandan Bugisu whole-bean, family-farmed coffee from Crop to Cup and one free drip or espresso coffee every day for the month of October at @Spot Café. The bag of coffee is a $24 value alone, and with your daily complimentary cup of iced coffee, flavored coffee, or espresso, the value of today's deal can be tens of dollars more.
Love means having someone who will split your cable bill and co-sign on loans. Express your strictly utilitarian approval of that special someone with today's Groupon to Grow Flower Shop. For $40, you'll get $80 toward an artful flower arrangement and delivery. Grow delivers throughout the Chicagoland area, and local delivery begins at $12. If you want to hand-deliver your profession of flora, you can pick up your arrangement at Grow's shop in NBC Tower. To get your flowers for Valentine's Day, place your order by February 5.
Star Struck is the official provider of authentic Blackhawks and Bulls apparel, and carries tons of tees, caps, and more for all Chicago sports teams. Stay warm with a Blackhawks tassel knit hat ($15), or put your Groupon toward a Bulls playbook pullover hoodie by Adidas ($45). Pass yourself off as number one with a Jay Cutler women's jersey ($65), go vintage with a faded Blackhawks zip hoodie ($65), or layer for the Chicago cold with either a Blackhawks or Bulls three-in-one T-shirt combo pack ($30). Sports apparel also makes a great gift for all your expecting friends, whose soon-to-be babies would be naked if not for the Cubs onesies ($16) you so graciously provided.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with a bevy of showroom items to peruse. There are plenty of options that fall within the cost of your Groupon, such as a chrome Galaxy table lamp ($125), Tikal mirrors in cherry or black ($75–$125), a white Lima vase ($45), or Lawrence leather bookshelves ($125). There are also cozy couches, chairs, and more waiting to be adopted. The merchandise is always changing, but you can check out a few sample items here. If there's nothing on the floor that floats your boat, thumb through a large collection of manufacturer books to find that perfect piece. Someone will be there to guide you along the way while giving professional input, such as the storeowner, Kim Tepper.

A Laurinburg man was arrested this week after an eight-mile pursuit by Laurinburg police, authorities say.
At 10:46 a.m. on Wednesday, officers responded to the home of Joseph D. Chavis at 425 Avery St. after a report of domestic disturbance, according to Lt. Cliff Sessoms of the Laurinburg Police Department.
Chavis had left the premises by the time officers arrived, but he was located driving a Mercedes on Carver Street, police said.
When officers tried to stop Chavis' vehicle, he refused to pull over, even as police followed him with sirens blaring, officials said.
Police pursued him for about eight miles to the intersection of Gillis and McFarland roads, north of Laurel Hill, with Chavis exceeding the posted speed limit in an attempt to lose them, police said.
"The pursuit did reach speeds in excess of 100 mph, at which point he lost control of his vehicle," said Sessoms.
After hitting a pine tree at the intersection, Chavis attempted to flee on foot, but was located walking on Gillis Road by Det. Jon Edwards of the Scotland County Sheriff's Department.
Chavis was taken by EMS to Scotland Memorial Hospital and released shortly after, at which point he was arrested and charged with fleeing to elude arrest, driving while license revoked, and injury to real property. He was placed in the Scotland County Detention Center under a $10,000 bond.
Chavis was convicted of similar charges in 2003, and since then has done time for larceny, driving while intoxicated, and possession with intent to sell Schedule II controlled substances. He is currently on probation after being found guilty of assault on a female in Mecklenburg County last year.

Motorcyclist killed in Deltona crash
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 5:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 12:35 a.m.
A 20-year-old motorcyclist who lost control and hit a stop sign Tuesday in Deltona later died at an area hospital, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Ricardo Rodriguez Jr., of DeBary, was eastbound on DeBary Avenue about 12:30 p.m., lost control near the Providence Boulevard intersection, struck a curb and then hit a stop sign, according to sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught.
Rodriguez was taken by EVAC ambulance to Florida Hospital Fish Memorial in Orange City, where he was pronounced dead about 1:50 p.m., Haught said.
It appears speed was a factor in the crash, Haught said.

Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Holy crap, the music in the final Emperor Ing battle is amazing.
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Super - Red Brinstar
Prime - Phendrana Echoes - Dark Torvus Bog Corruption - Elysia Other M - Approaching Sector Zero I also like all the general music too, but those go without saying. Even the strongest of people can have their faith broken. Mine has.
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Pretty much everything from Prime 1... Easily my favorite videogame soundtrack of all time.
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!? Tallon Overworld! (1st version) - Prime
Hands down, the music is very atmospheric!! Currently playing: Metroid Prime Trilogy
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Hmm my favorites would be:
metroid 2-the tunnel (the first song in M2) super metroid-sunken cavern area of maridia Prime-downed frigate and Flaahgra's theme echoes-Torvus bog, torvus catacombs(lower brinstar remix) and sanctuary fortress corruption-Skytown and Rundas battle fusion-sector 1 zero mission-Kraid's lair, vs Ridley, and vs mother brain "No matter the man, we all wear masks... Either on our faces or over our hearts" -Godot
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?After downloading the soundtrack to Other M, I found that there's some pretty good tunes on it. It turns out once you take away the Other M, you get a whole lot of Metroid. If you get what I'm saying.
I personally liked the Lower Norfair remix in Magmoor Caverns. Really easy to hum to. I also love Kraid's hideout theme. And the Super boss theme. The Tunnel's pretty awesome too. I guess I love them all equally. |
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?My favorite has always been Brinstar: Overgrown with Vegetation from Super, although the Metroid II main cave theme and Metroid Prime menu them are also very good.
Man is the lowest-cost, 150-pound, nonlinear, all-purpose computer system which can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.
-NASA in 1965 |
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?
I can't find any good ones among all of them, but that's because there's so many tracks. Mind suggesting a few gems? Suckers.
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Any of the battle music or the piano medley. Those are the best, and most intense (not in the piano medley's case obviously). The boss themes, and one of my favorites is Anthony's Cover Fire (the theme after Anthony blasts El Polo Loco), and Chasing the Survivor (theme of the over-the-shoulder sequence with Melissa.). The real issue is, most of them are repititive, but if you listen carefully, there are some subtle differences in the background music. Not to mention, a lot of the music is composed of enviromental sound effects, so it's hard to pick out some medleys. Also, I've noticed that the Sector 1 theme in M:OM is the same as the one in Fusion. I dunno if anyone else has noticed this, because I haven't seen it posted.
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Any of Metroid Prime's music could count, but Meta Ridley's theme wins just by how awesome it is. Ridley's theme in SM comes a close second. |
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?
The problem seems to be that the good tracks from the game weren't ones playing during boss battles or levels, so there wasn't enough time to listen. Still, PYR... Er, I mean, Sector 3, had some nice ambience. Very creepy. Suckers.
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Oh yeah, a lot of them are like that (well, non-battle themes).
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Anything from MP2 (I love that game. )but I have to pick by song then...
SkyTown West is my favorite song though because it is so peaceful and atmospheric. At a close second is the quadraxis theme, then Gandrayda's theme, and finally I like Kraid's lair. Sent from my iPod
Re: Metroid Music - What's your favorite!?Magmoor caverns from Prime
Super- theme of samus aran, space warrior? I don't know what it is called |

A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Yes…I got into a perfectly good plane and jumped out of it. And it was awesome. Since the jump I have probably said the word "awesome" at least 1000 times but that is the best way to describe it.
I was supposed to jump at 2pm. The day was gorgeous – sun was shining, barely any clouds in the sky, very hot…but very windy. I ended up having to wait until almost 6:30 for it to be safe enough to jump. The hubs and I just hung around and chilled. I kept waiting to be nervous and it just never happened. Not waiting around, not getting suited up, not in the plane…nothing. The only part that freaked me a bit was in the initial free fall. It was really hard to breathe and I just wasn't expecting that so it scared me a bit. Once the chute is deployed, it is completely peaceful and just amazing. I paid the extra to get both pictures and video and I am glad I did - the quality of both the pics and video is amazing. The pics I posted here don't do them justice as all. The guys @ Skydive Swoop in Dundas did an amazing job and overall gave you a fantastic experience. They also encouraged my potty mouth so there are a few "F" bombs on the video which is just so me.
Getting ready to go up in the plane the size of my car:
Just about ready to jump:
See ya later bitches!
Ass over tea kettle @ 11,000 ft:
Free Fallin':
Coming in for a landing:
My awesome tandem master Chris..thanks for not letting me die. I found out after that "I" was his 1500th jump. Again..awesome-ness.
I am so happy that the hubs gave me the nudge to do something way out of my comfort zone and for me doing something I truly wanted to do.
Have you done something that scares you?

Yay, I love it! Good for you! I used to do skydiving when I was at varsity in the 1980's. We started with static jumps and round (pumpkin) parachutes. I stopped jumping mainly because it became very expensive. I still need to bunjee but I'm just to scared. So I rather scare myself with very challenging races...:)

Boys Basketball: Without Yacob, Carroll falls short against Roman
Daily Times Staff Reports
Playing without All-Delco Yosef Yacob, Archbishop Carroll just couldn't find the final basket to close the gap, falling 62-52 to Roman Catholic in Philadelphia Catholic League play Sunday.
In the absence of Yacob due to illness, Nick Jones picked up the scoring load with 23 points, including three 3-pointers, to go with six rebounds and four assists. Joe Mostardi added three treys as part of his 14 points, and Derrick Jones chipped in six points, all from the free-throw line, to go with 10 rebounds and four blocks.
Carroll and Roman traded runs in the first half, with Roman leading by seven points after a quarter. The Patriots tied it in the second quarter with a 7-0 spurt, but Roman pulled away to stake itself to a 10-point halftime lead. Carroll (9-3, 2-2 PCL) cut the deficit as low as five in the fourth quarter, but the Patriots came up empty on several possessions with the game at a one-score margin.
Roman, led by 22 points from Shep Garner and 21 from Rashaan London, made its free throws down the stretch to ensure it wouldn't be caught.
In another Catholic League game:
Bishop McDevitt 66, Cardinal O'Hara 47
Mike Louden poured in 20 points and Sean Havink added 18, but the rest of the Lions combined for just two made field goals and nine total points in the loss.
Any comeback hopes for the Lions (5-7) were dashed in the fourth quarter as McDevitt blew the game open with a 21-10 advantage in the stanza.
