Some video game developers just seem to have been dealt a bad hand, but few have luck as bad as Whoopee Camp. The company made two late 90s Playstation games: Tomba, and its not-quite-as-good-but-still-solid sequel. Critics loved both games, but audiences ignored them, and the company went bust in 2000 after only three years of existence.
Six days ago, the PlayStation Network went down. Although some users can manage to get Netflix and other services to work, video gaming online continues to be a lost cause.
As soon as PSN flickered out, rumors began circling that the outage had been caused by the most notorious of all internet griefers: Anonymous.

Damn, I tried not to love this drama, but it just won't let me. It's friggin' hilarious, and now it's hooked me, good and proper. The last episode focused much more on our hero and the royal family, but this time we really get to know our heroine, and she's pretty awesome. Plus, we get to the flirty a lot faster than I had anticipated, but hey, no one's complainin' here.
Back on the floor of the women's restroom, Hang-ah is on top of Jae-ha, which really isn't as sexy as it sounds, 'cause she's threatening his life with a smile. She asks if she should do as she was taught and kill him.
I love how very quickly he always shifts from blustering arse to meek kitten: "I'll be good! Just tell me what you want and I'll work hard…" She grins and un-mops him, saying that she's kidding, of course.
She reaches out a hand to help him up, which makes him flinch in fear. Hee. When he doesn't move, she stands him up by the collar and dusts him off, breezing that she wouldn't kill him NOW—it's the era of peace and reconciliation, no?
I seriously love her assassin doublespeak. Who talks about killing people like they're trying to decide what to eat for breakfast? She feigns offense, "I'm not going to eat you!" and assures him that it was all in the name of getting along. Exactly—what's a little death threat between friends?
Frankfurt. An old man lies in his sickbed, tended to by a team of doctors and his son. The son is our villain, KIM BONG-GU (Yoon Jae-moon), pen-stabber of yore.
The pen was actually a birthday gift from his father, who now apologizes for not being around. He then hands over his last will and testament, and tells Bong-gu that the club is now his.
He motions to the wall and Bong-gu turns on the stereo, as the camera pans out to reveal a humongous white room with nothing but a bed just hanging out in the center of it. Ha. This guy is insane. And I love how absurd this show is.
Secretary Kyu-tae reports to the king that the joint team for the WOC is on its way to getting approved. Jae-kang worries about Club M (which I'm assuming is a front for an international crime syndicate, otherwise people are strangely fascinated with a nightclub).
Anyway, he says that they're the ones who have the most to lose with the WOC. Um… why? Because they thrive on international dissension and have their hands in everyone's political cookie jars, in the form of lobbyists. Well thanks for the exposition, king, but I would've rather figured that out on my own.
*Thwack* I think I've hit my first logic hurdle, but this Club-M-WOC thing is just going to be our macguffin, so I'm just gonna go with it for now.
Bong-gu's father asks for water as he hands over the will, so he goes over to the couch (about a mile away in the same room, ha) and calls for water… A woman who's clearly dressed for assassin duty arrives with two associates and a cart to deliver the glass of water. Bong-gu sits with his back turned, clicking his pen.
And then she opens a case and takes out a syringe. She gives the lethal dose and dear ol' dad starts to shake and gasp for air. Bong-gu starts rapid-clicking his pen as we get flashes of his past, and then shots of each of our main characters as adults—are they his point of view? Because then that's extra creepy.
He doesn't turn back once, though he tellingly click-click-click-clicks until Dad's final breath leaves him. The last pen click rings with finality, and then suddenly he hops up from the couch, light on his feet, and suddenly SLIDES down to the main level like he's celebrating.
Ha. Hahahaha. This guy is NUTS and a half.
Once he gets downstairs, he looks down at the ledger for M Society (which at least makes it sound more like a creepy Freemasons/Illuminati-type deal), and falls over in a fit of giggles. You sir, are a sociopath.
Jae-ha calls his hyung in a panic. Over video conference, he tells Jae-kang that they're all out to kill him—the North Korean leader threatened him in the bathroom and Secretary Eun's son held him at gunpoint. Uh… do you not see that Secretary Eun is standing right there, or is this a one-way video call?
The funny thing is, it's all true, but Jae-kang just hangs up immediately and tells Secretary Eun to dismiss everything he said—they're clearly lies. He refuses to take any more calls from Jae-ha, and has a mini hissy fit over his stupid kid brother.
Jae-ha walks down the hall of the dormitory with purpose, and looks at the new names on his door: Lee Jae-ha and Kim… Hang… ah? They're ROOMIES now? I think I love this show.
He sighs and walks in to find Hang-ah packing away her underwear in a suitcase with a combination lock. He tells her he has no interest in looking at her underwear, but she locks it up just to be safe, saying that she heard South Korea's got a lot of pervs.
He starts unpacking his skincare collection, and her jaw drops at the metrosexual explosion. She marvels at how there could even be that many different things to put on a face, and asks if she can use some.
He blocks her like a kid hoarding his toys, but then decides on second thought that he could get some petty revenge. He happily offers her a heaping handful of something. She puts it on and then asks why it feels so funny…
"Oops. I'm so sorry! That was shaving cream!" It's not even that good as far as revenge plots go, but he gets a big kick out of it.
The team goes to their first strategy-training meeting, where the instructor tells them that teamwork is most important. And then out of nowhere, a shot rings out, taking out the lights above them. Hang-ah is first to react, turning towards the window.
A masked gunman crashes through the window, joined by two others. They shoot up the room as the team scrambles for cover, panicked. They shoot the instructor, and he falls to the ground in a pool of blood.
As Jae-ha freaks out and scrambles to try and escape, Hang-ah and her team give each other silent signals and attack. She gets one gunman cornered with his weapon, Shi-kyung does the same, and then Kang-seok finally overpowers the last.
He shoots… but the guy just stands there, unharmed. And then the not-so-dead instructor gets up, scaring the lights out of Jae-ha, who tried to crawl over his corpse to save himself.
It was their first test—to see how they'd react in that situation, which also leads into the second test, asking them to recall exactly how events unfolded during the attack. They're given little toy soldiers to help with the reconstruction.
They start piecing together the events, with team leaders Hang-ah and Shi-kyung being precise and cool-headed. Suddenly Jae-ha gets up and says, "You're forgetting the most important thing…"
He walks up the whiteboard, and in a very serious tone, starts drawing a venn diagram: two circles that don't intersect, one labeled "Enemy" and the other "Us." He then takes a red pen and draws a line dividing them.
"Stop them." Pffft. "Without me." Hahahaha. He leaves them in a round robin of sighs.
Hang-ah runs into Shi-kyung later, and asks what he's going to do about Jae-ha: "He can't even run a full lap." But he gruffly tells her that he'll do it his way, and cuts her off. She sighs as she sees him running extra laps that night, with full gear on.
Kang-seok joins her on the balcony and says that Shi-kyung's the type to do everything the hard way—clearly he thinks that it's his job to pick up the slack, and he thinks this'll be enough.
Jae-ha joins them too, and Kang-seok asks if seeing his teammate picking up his slack doesn't make him feel something. Jae-ha: "It does… I'm suddenly hit with the sense of what kind of person he really is… that guy's crazy. He's totally nuts!"
Kang-seok turns to Hang-ah, like what on earth are going to do with that guy? But she smiles and tells him not to worry—in a week they'll be on their home turf.
Next thing we know, the team is on the bus, being escorted north of the DMZ. Jae-ha is a nervous wreck. Kang-seok takes the opportunity to boast about his country, with Young-bae joining in adorably.
But Jae-ha takes jabs at everything, making fun of the signs they pass on the road, like one that's pro-reunification, using a slogan about the procession marching on despite the dog that barks, a metaphor I don't quite understand, but neither does Jae-ha.
He quips: "What, is your leader a dog?" Fu-uuuuuck. He really has the most appalling foot-in-mouth syndrome. The whole bus goes silent, and Kang-seok throws down his hat.
Shi-kyung is quick to get up and puts a hand on Kang-seok's arm. But he just glares back. Everyone holds their breath as Jae-ha stammers defensively, "What, are you going to hit me?" Yeeeaaah… I think he's gonna.
But Hang-ah defuses the potential explosion and tells Kang-seok to return to his seat. I love that she doesn't even turn around, like a schoolteacher telling her rowdy kids to behave. He whines but she reminds him that they ought to take care of their guests, and Jae-ha lets out a big puff of air in relief.
They arrive at their military base and Jae-ha checks out his room with skepticism, marveling at all the red (it really is just covered in Communist Red). He sighs at the dinky tv and then hears something outside.
He looks out to see the rest of the team around a campfire, as Hang-ah sings for them. Aw, she's so cute, like a little fifth-grader at a talent show, with her hands folded. She sings her song and then they urge the southern soldiers to return with a song of their own.
They hedge, not sure what to sing, but their hosts insist on a song, citing bad manners. I guess some things are the same, no matter which Korea you're in. The third member of the southern team (Yeom Dong-ha) urges Shi-kyung to play the guitar, and they start to sing.
Shi-kyung is timid at first, barely singing, but then he starts joining in, and before they know it, he's belting out the song by himself, and everyone's jaws drop. He really does have a swoony voice, as I'm sure all the What's Up watchers can attest.
Hang-ah totally melts, and who could blame her? But from his window, Jae-ha watches with a pout. Suddenly the song comes to a screeching halt with a loud phone call. Everyone gets jerked back into reality, as Shi-kyung answers his phone.
It's Jae-ha, of course, calling to be a killjoy. He whines that there's nothing to eat, wanting to be fed like an overgrown baby. The rest of the team shares their sympathies that Shi-kyung's got it rougher than they thought, having to deal with Princey. Hang-ah thinks of something and a devilish grin spreads across her face.
Jae-ha walks down the hall griping about the food, and stops in his tracks at the sight of two photos, lying on the ground. It's two half-naked women, and he giggles like a schoolboy.
But then he hears voices coming from Kang-seok's room – it's the northern team, gathered inside and peering out of the peephole, script in hand. HA. Did you bait him with nekkid ladies? Pffft.
Jae-ha presses his ear to the door, as the trio awkwardly reads from the prepared script, which basically amounts to Kang-seok declaring that he will take care of the problem himself, and assassinate Jae-ha in his sleep using poison needles. No one will ever know.
Hang-ah opens the door and pretends to be shocked that Jae-ha overheard them, and tells him to forget what he heard. He tries to play it cool and suggests she get her team in line. I'm sorry… are those ruffles on your army tracksuit? I… can't… even…
She nods in agreement, and then takes a teeny case out of her pocket, containing syringes and a whole mess of needles. She takes one out… "But the work of an assassin is something no one else knows. A person could just in one moment…"
And she makes a pop sound with the needle pointed at her forehead, shuddering afterward for effect. She can barely contain her smirk as she leaves him quaking in his boots.
He goes straight to Shi-kyung to tell him that he will participate in the special training after all. Shi-kyung looks SO HAPPY he might cry—it would be touching if it weren't hilarious.
Jae-ha says that he'll train with Hang-ah, who's standing right behind them. Shi-kyung insists that he'll do it, but Jae-ha mouths silently at him, with alarm. He doesn't catch what he's mouthing, so Jae-ha leans in close, and this time it's accompanied by helpful chyrons: Atomic! Fuel! Poison! Needle!
Hang-ah peers curiously at them, and Jae-ha lets it go, telling Shi-kyung in no uncertain terms to scram. He does, but returns a few minutes later to give the prince a silent fist in the air in solidarity. His earnestness is killing me.
Jae-ha thus begins his training for the team. One point, Hang-ah.
Back at home, the queen mother confronts Jae-kang about an article in the paper—a speculative piece on whether the royal family's going to marry into reunification, suggesting that Jae-ha will marry a North Korean.
He assures her that it's an unfounded rumor and nothing more. Only he turns right around and discusses the very same matter with Hang-ah's father, clearly planning to do exactly that. Jae-kang asks about the bride prospects, and suggests Hang-ah, but Dad quickly vetoes that idea.
Jae-ha whines and whines about his achy muscles, which I don't doubt, but he's already starting to use it as a way to get her attention. He gets annoyed when she answers a call from an old friend, and notes with curiosity as she squeals and laughs cutely.
Later that night she preens in the mirror, putting on makeup for her date, and he asks if she's meeting a boyfriend or something. She just says it's an old friend, and tells him not to skip training just because she's out.
She heads down into the subway station, checking herself in her little compact. Someone knocks into her and she drops it, and when another person stoops to pick it up, she looks up at a flashback of the moment her friend first gave it to her. Oh, nicely done, Show.
Her best friend had given her the compact and casually mentioned that if they get old and they're still single, they should just marry each other. She had agreed, but warned that there would be a line of guys waiting to marry her. Aw. She watches the memory pass in front of her like a movie, with a big smile on her face.
She arrives to meet the same friend now, and enters the bar. She finds it pitch-black, and suddenly the lights go on and a whole group of people starts to sing to her, with her friend in the center, nervously holding flowers behind his back. Eeee!
He gets down on one knee, and sticks the flowers up in her face. She lights up with anticipation… and he asks to make things official. She reaches out to take the flowers…
And then he recoils them out of reach, and everyone tells him yes, yes, do it exactly like that—if that proposal made the stiff Hang-ah blush, then it'll totally be a homerun with THE GIRL HE ACTUALLY PLANS TO PROPOSE TO.
Nooooo! Oh, that's horrible. Omg, I want to dig her a hole to crawl into. Poor thing.
They usher her into the crowd and hand her a confetti popper, for when it happens for real. I hope she pops it in his eye. She stands there frozen, and then her friend comes back with the flowers to practice AGAIN, which is what makes her start to cry.
She can't hold back the tears any longer, and runs out, leaving him totally confused. She stumbles away, dropping the confetti in the street.
Back at the base, she heads to the gym for a workout, where she finds Jae-ha mid-bite into a giant jelly doughnut. His eyes dart back and forth, "I… was totally about to work out, right after this." Hee. I dunno why, but the running doughnut thing just makes me laugh.
She just heads silently to the treadmill and starts to run. She doesn't get very far before her legs give out and she falls, and he hurries to her side to make sure she's okay. He checks her ankle and says it's fine, but it's the thing that breaks the dam and she starts to cry.
Startled, he wonders if it hurts that much, and she snipes that of course it does. But he can tell right away that it's not the ankle she's crying over. Suddenly he turns into a supportive oppa: "Who was it? Who made our leader cry?"
He listens to the whole story like a real friend, asking if that idiot never went to the army, calling her out of training and then using her like that. She's like, how'd you know? They're like a pair of girlfriends—it's so cute.
He sighs that some things are just the same in the North and the South, and tells her that she's only thirty—she's still young. But she sighs that things are different up here, and to make things harder, she's a soldier… she wonders if she'll just grow old alone.
"Forget marriage—does it make sense that I've never even dated?" He's like no, that's terrible. She starts talking about what kind of man she's looking for, and just when you think Jae-ha is being such a good friend, something clicks in his brain and he gets an idea…
Back in their room, Hang-ah is still chattering away about her taste in men, and by now Jae-ha is only barely listening, or pretending to. He asks why she joined the WOC team then, if being a soldier is such a detriment to her marry-able quotient.
She tells him about the deal with her general that he'd find her a man. By now they're sitting on their beds looking at each other, and she turns to him and asks, "Why are men like that? I'm a woman too. It's just that my job is a solider. If you look hard enough, it's not like I don't have pretty traits. Men always tell me that I'm trustworthy, dependable, that they want a little brother like me."
She adds, "I've even been told that they want a son like me." LOL. That's terrible. It's also what they say about Seung-gi all the time. He asks if she really wants to know the answer, smoothly moving over to the floor by her bed. He motions for her to sit next to him. Trouble with a capital T, this boy.
Jae-ha: "Those men need to have their eyes checked. In my eyes, you're a woman. You're charming. And lovable." He runs his finger along her hand. She fidgets nervously. He takes her hand in his and then starts to lean in…
But she breaks the moment awkwardly, getting up and jabbering about how he should shower and stuff "if we want to sleep together." Whoops. That slip's not even veiled enough to be Freudian.
He laughs and goes to wash up, leaving her mortified.
The M Society meets to announce Bong-gu's ascension to the presidency. He appears before them with pomp and grandeur… and no pants? Is he a pants-optional guy?
It's his first magic trick of the evening to poof his pants back into existence, which I'd argue isn't the best way to build credibility, but I think he's going for arch-villain showmanship more than, say, sane guy.
He does another long trick that goes on forever, involving a floating coffin filled with knives. The upshot is, he makes a man disappear. He reappears in front of Bong-gu's hired killer, who goes to town with the torture.
Hang-ah tosses restlessly in bed, and catches a glimpse of frosted-window Jae-ha in the shower. He comes out and she buries herself under the covers. She peeks out to see his feet shuffle into the room, and then drop his towel.
She jumps up, "What are you doing?!" which cracks me up—are you hiding or are you peeping? But he's fully clothed, and just wiping his feet. She sighs in relief.
He perches next to her on her bed, and she gets nervous again, but he asks if she's scared he's going to try and jump her, a special forces agent. He reminds her that he's too much of a scaredy to do that anyway.
He offers to pat her back until she falls asleep. What girl could fall asleep to that?
She tries to knock his hand away, but he grabs her wrist. He says the reason she doesn't have a boyfriend is because she's too strong. He doesn't mean physically—he explains that sometimes she should learn to accept gestures too. And then he moves from her wrist to her hand…
Gah, there he goes with the hand-caressing again. I'm totally swooning.
She turns back on her side to go to sleep, and he pats her on the back like a little kid. It's really sweet. Once she closes her eyes, he stops and reaches out to tuck her hair behind her ear.
Taken with her, he holds her hand again, and leans in… and kisses her neck. Omgawwwwwwd.
She jumps up with a start, screaming, "No this is too…!" only night turns to day and it was a dream. Aw man, dirty rotten trick, Show! Though I guess technically, we have no idea how far along into the sequence she fell asleep and dreamt it.
Jae-ha comes into the room, another jelly doughnut in his face, asking if she isn't going to eat. She asks hesitantly, "Last night… how far…"
But he says to her relief that she fell asleep right away. She asks to make sure—just the back-patting sleepy time, yes? He says yeah… what else was there? She scrambles away, and he smiles. That is no I-lulled-you-to-sleep-and-that-is-all smile.
At breakfast, every single person she encounters gives her advice about marriage and tells her to buck up, and she tears back into the room. She asks if Jae-ha spread those rumors about her.
He laughs, saying of course he did—they were way too juicy to know on his own. Oh you ASS. But the real secret—that she joined WOC to find a husband—is the real bomb, and if she doesn't want him to tell everyone, then she'd better listen to him.
Ha, so blackmail was your endgame? So much more childish than I assumed—I thought he was seducing her to make life easy for himself.
She grabs her case and rifles though it, and he takes her box of poison needles out of his pocket, "Are you looking for this?" Flashback to last night, when he lulled her to sleep, leaned in close to make sure she was out, and then searched the room for the needles. Ha.
Laughing, he asks what she meant earlier—did they go a little farther in her dreams? She freezes in embarrassment, and he teases, "What, did I kiss you in your dreams?" But he can read it on her face that it's true, and laughs even more, saying that she must really be in dire straits.
She fumes and turns around, but he's having way too much fun with this, and stops her, asking how he did it in her dream—was there tongue? Was it R-rated?
I dunno how she's not punching him right now. He lays it on even thicker, saying that he didn't know she thought of him that way, and tells her he feels nothing for her. Her eyes start to fill with angry tears.
He grabs her hand again, this time mockingly, with no emotion, and tells her a car's steering wheel would give him more sensation, and that it's just a hand. Oof, the look in her eyes…
He deals the final blow: "What does that mean? It means you are not a woman."
He drops her hand as a tear falls from her eye.
Aaaauuuugh, I cannot WAIT till she serves him those words one bitter mouthful at a time. Goddamn, I expected him to do something assy, but to rip her to shreds like that, knowing every little weakness after she poured her heart out? GAH. That was a low blow.
Dramatically, I'm good with it, because I thought the execution was smart—it surprised me because his intention took a sideways turn that I didn't expect, since I assumed he'd just do the lazy playboy thing. But character-wise, I'm pissed, because what kind of a bastard pretends to be her friend and comforts her after that horrible not-a-proposal, only to do worse to her the next morning? Raaaaaaaaaaahhh. Revenge better be sweet, I swear.
On a different note, I like the throughline of prejudice that Jae-ha's character embodies. It's often times horrendously offensive, but also honest, in that most contemporary North and South Koreans grow up with a huge wall of prejudice between them. Though the fictional setup isn't something that could happen in real life, the feelings that are explored are real, and interesting. Though he's the extreme, it means more when Jae-ha notes how some things really are the same, whether North or South. I look forward to his character arc in that realm, among other things.
I really do love Hang-ah's character, because she's got such a nice duality. She's a badass soldier and a smart, capable team leader, but she's also really feminine and earnest. Right now her confidence lies in one and not the other, but I can't wait to see her change and grow, and for her to school Jae-ha on what it REALLY means to be a woman, not one defined by men. That he'll someday be a fool in love with her will just be a bonus.

By Julian Guyer
London: Jul 16, 2014
England captain Alastair Cook said Wednesday he believed India's complaint against James Anderson was a tactic designed to have his spearhead bowler miss some part of the ongoing series.
Anderson was charged by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday for allegedly "abusing and pushing" Ravindra Jadeja during last week's drawn first Test at Trent Bridge.
If the charge is upheld by an ICC judicial commissioner, Anderson could be banned for as many as four Tests and England have responded by levelling a charge of their own against Jadeja.
Cook speaking to reporters at Lord's, where the second Test of a five-match series starts on Thursday, accused India of making a "mountain out of a molehill" in an effort to try to get Anderson banned.
"I think so, I think that's pretty much where it's come from," Cook said Wednesday. "It's probably a little bit of a tactic by India."
As for the incident itself, which has been graded as 'level three', the second-most serious on the ICC's list of potential offences, Cook adopted the role of Arsenal football manager Arsene Wenger, famous in England for never witnessing any controversial moment involving one of his players.
"I'm going to sound a little bit like Arsene Wenger and I genuinely didn't see it," said Cook.
"There's been toing and throwing between Jimmy, (England coach) Peter Moores and the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and there has been a charge levelled back at Jadeja."
"We are surprised it's come to where it's come to but we can't let it be a distraction to the side.
"For Jimmy, all the lads will rally round him. He's a stalwart of our side."
Cook added he believed completely the version of events that Anderson had told him but that, under ICC regulations, he could not say any more about the incident itself.
However, he did add: "It's a big mountain out of a molehill, if I'm being totally honest.
"If it motivates him (Anderson) that would be great. The side don't need any more," said Cook of an England team without a win in their last nine Tests.

At some point, the murmurs in the Iowa crowd were quite obviously imploring the Hawkeyes coaches to do anything to try and win the game against Nebraska. The coaches didn't listen.
How conservative was Iowa? The Hawkeyes once punted from Nebraska's 30-yard line. Yes, it was fourth and 13 and there was a strong wind, but that decision was one of the many flabbergasting ones by a team that came in with a 4-7 record. Iowa punted into the end zone, giving it a whopping 10-yard net gain. Have we mentioned Kirk Ferentz has one of the most coach-friendly contracts in sports?
Nebraska deserves credit for winning a tough, hard-fought victory. Rex Burkhead played after missing four straight games due to an injury, and ground out 88 yards as the Cornhuskers got a 13-7 win that clinched a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game next week against Wisconsin.
[Dr. Saturday's bowl projections: How much more chaos is on the way?]
The game was played in heavy winds that kept both quarterbacks at less than 100 yards passing for the day. Although the game was ugly, Nebraska finished it with a dominating fourth quarter on defense. Iowa helped by being safer than someone in Vegas who stays on 8 while playing blackjack.
Iowa had the wind at its back in the fourth quarter, but called the game like it was going into the wind. Iowa gained just one first down in the fourth quarter. Its last two series were horrific. On the first, it ran three times and then punted on fourth and 3 from its own 48, and neither the playcalling or the decision to punt seemed to sit well with fans. The Iowa crowd sounded really annoyed when Iowa got the ball back with less than four minutes left and acted like it was sitting on a lead. A run and short pass gained 12 yards and took about 1:20 as fans continued to scream to hurry up. Then the Hawkeyes threw an interception on a short pass that sealed the loss. Keep in mind, Iowa had four wins. But hey, at least Ferentz kept the losing margin under 10.
Iowa starts its long offseason with that frustrating loss. Nebraska has more important things to look forward to, starting next week against the Badgers.

I guess the problem is, what objective metric do you use for "sound quality"? OK, my CDs were mastered a certain way, for "optimal sound quality" then. But in my case, I perceive it as bad sound quality, which compells me to use the EQ. Is anyone between me, the artist, the mixing engineer and the mastering engineer actually objective about it?
I guess they are when they try to make sure it will sound "right" no matter what gear the material is played back on. But my perception of it (and I'm guessing, anyone else's) remains subjective.
This is starting to get into my trade secrets area but I promise you...it's measurable.
Engineers know this! The reason you get crappy remasters is because they give into client/producer demands most of the time or, in some cases, use the wrong source.

Good list. I thought that "would you kindly" would be on here, but I absolutely knew the Revan twist would be on there. What made it so good was that it fit so perfectly into the narrative and that I never saw it coming. I don't think there could ever a twist like that again, mainly because I can't stop myself from reading spoilers. Thank a lot, internet.

I still think the part in metal gear solid 4 where u find out the boss is not dead should have been on there...

Revan's still my fave, but "would you kindly"? Not bad.

The Linux Foundation recently released the 2013 Linux Jobs Report and in a competitive marketplace where companies are struggling to find new talent and salaries are skyrocketing, the other side of the coin is "love the one you're with." We're talking about retention of course, and if you think it's not something that you have to be worried about, consider that 75% of those surveyed said they have received a call from a recruiter in the last six months and 35% plan to switch employers in 2013. Instead of monitoring your employee's phone records, below we provide some ways IT managers can retain their Linux talent.
As part of the jobs survey, Linux IT professionals were asked the top three incentives to staying with their current employer. 74% said more money, 61% chose better work/life balance and 47% selected a flexible work schedule or telecommuting. Also highly cited was opportunities for professional development, especially if they resulted in advancement.
Here are four ways to keep your employees sitting tight in their current chair.

Brad Pitt Is Ready to Mend His Relationship With Angelina Jolie for the Sake of Their Kids
- 10:58 AM, Mar 27
"The hit, the very palpable hit" of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, "Hamlet 2" is an irreverent comedy centering on one teacher's overzealous quest to mount a high school musical. The film is directed by Andrew Fleming ("Dick," "Threesome") from an original screenplay he wrote with Pam Brady ("South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut," "Team America: World Police"); the stars are Steve Coogan ("Night at the Museum"), Catherine Keener ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin"), David Arquette (the "Scream" movies), Amy Poehler ("Saturday Night Live"), and Academy Award nominee Elisabeth Shue as herself.
Coogan portrays Dana Marschz; the last name is pronounced... oh, any attempt is close enough, really. Dana is a failed actor-turned-high school drama teacher. Shortchanged in the talent department, Dana still harbors ambitions and passions. At work, that is; his personal life, with his dissatisfied wife Brie (Keener) and their boarder Gary (Arquette), leaves much to be desired.
At Tucson, AZ's West Mesa High School, Dana sees himself as an inspirational teacher. But his adaptations of popular films, as performed by his top students Rand and Epiphany (Skylar Astin and Phoebe Strole, both stars of Broadway's "Spring Awakening"), are not resonating. When his latest - re-creating "Erin Brockovich" - is dismissed by the 9th grade drama critic and his department is targeted for closure, Dana must reach deep into himself for creativity.
After much perspiration, he conceives a sequel to Shakespeare's "Hamlet" - a musical-theater extravaganza that will disdain both political correctness and dramatic credibility. Rallying and rousing his class, Dana casts a wider net by recruiting transfer students like Ivonne (Melonie Diaz of "Be Kind Rewind") for key roles. With rehearsals underway, objections from school officials and the community are soon raised, but Dana will not be denied his freedom of artistic expression. After all, "to thine own self be true." Dana gets unexpected support from ACLU attorney Cricket Feldstein (Poehler) and his favorite actress, Elisabeth Shue. Above all else, he fervently believes that his opus must be staged, and nothing can break his optimistic spirit.

WARWICK – The Community College of Rhode Island announced plans to offer a revised Health Care Interpreter certificate program beginning this fall, college officials announced on July 25.
The new program seeks to meet the need as defined by the Joint Commission, the organization that accredits health care organizations, to have a certified medical interpreter on staff at all times, in order to lessen any potential language barrier between doctors and patients.
"There is going to be an increasing need for health care interpreters within our state," said CCRI Nursing Department Chair Hilary Jansson, citing both the stricter requirements for hospitals to provide interpreting services and Rhode Island's increasing Spanish-speaking population.
Students in CCRI's program will take three courses over two semesters, with 45 hours of on-site training throughout the year. This fall, students will shadow a trained interpreter for 15 hours and will spend 30 hours as an interpreter under supervision next spring.
Professors in the college's Nursing and Foreign Language departments will provide classroom instruction in both Spanish and English, covering subjects such as medical terminology and health care and interpreting practices.
An informational meeting about the program, designed to teach students who are bilingual in English and Spanish necessary medical/health care information and terminology, will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 7, in Room 0028 at the Knight Campus, 400 East Ave., Warwick.

Dr. Garth Vaughan
Born In: Windsor, Canada
Born: February 9th, 1928
Passed on: November 7th, 2012
Dr. E. Garth Vaughan, MD, CM, FRCS, age 84, died Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Cape Breton, with his beloved wife of 36 years, Lauren, at his side.
Garth lived a remarkable life filled with art, writing, music and service to others.
He was a surgeon and general practitioner in Windsor, N.S., until 1990. Garth loved historical research and wrote books and articles and gave talks. He produced a large body of visual art. He illustrated books, did cartooning, sign-painting, photography and woodcarving. His paintings won local and national awards and are in many private collections. He donated paintings for fundraising for numerous worthy causes. He derived great enjoyment from playing accordion, fiddle, piano, harmonica and bugle, and performed with The Newfie Bullet band. He was renowned for his community and volunteer work.
Born in Windsor, N.S., Feb. 9, 1928, the fifth of seven children of James Alexander and Olive Pearl (Kilcup) Vaughan, Garth attended Windsor Academy, and left school at 17 to join the Merchant Navy. He served aboard Canada's first hospital ship, the Lady Nelson.
He studied for a career in medicine at Acadia and Dalhousie universities, and Victoria General, Children's and Grace Maternity hospitals in Halifax.
In 1954, he married Port Hawkesbury's Muriel Hammett and they began their family.
He organized a surgical team from VG Hospital for the Springhill mine disaster of 1958. Garth did post-graduate studies in surgery in London, England, then settled in Windsor. He lectured for the Canadian Cancer Society, served as a Payzant Memorial Hospital board member, organized the formation of the physiotherapy department, and served on the building committee for the new Hants Community Hospital, and was a member of session at the Windsor United Church.
Muriel died of cancer in 1974. In 1976, Garth married fellow artist Lauren Dougall. They established a business selling their art and pottery and later became proprietors of Vaughan's Stationery and the Imperial Theatre in Windsor.
In 1990, Garth retired from medicine. In his first year of retirement he compiled a history of Windsor Academy for the reunion, researched local history and was published in the Hants Journal. Next, he organized the Windsor Hockey Heritage Society, and in 1995, published his national best seller "The Puck Starts Here." He established the Windsor Hockey Heritage Centre. In 2004, Garth wrote "Tommy's New Block Skates," a children's book. While researching another book, "Historic Windsor," he discovered the true location of Haliburton's Long Pond, where ice hockey is thought to have begun.
In 2006, Garth and Lauren and their canine companions moved to the family farm in Cape Breton to pursue their art. Garth joined the church at Little Narrows, telling the children's story many Sundays. He volunteered at the Blues Mills L'Arche workshop. He was working on another history of Windsor, in 2010, the year he suffered a stroke. After heart surgery in 2012, his health further declined.
He continued to enjoy art, music and storytelling and visits from family members and friends until the end. He was very happy on his last weekend with all five of his children around him, singing to, and with, him.
Garth was predeceased by parents, Jim and Olive, sisters, Irma Rogers and Shirley Bowness, brothers, Harold and Ivan, and first wife, Muriel.
He is survived by wife, Lauren; sister, Pauline (David) Murdock; brother, Dr. Avery (Helena); children, Alex (Brenda), Kate (Guy Smith) Hammett-Vaughan, Lisa (Jim McLellan) Hammett Vaughan, Nicola Vaughan and Holly (Brian Hills) Hammett Vaughan and grandsons, Dylan and Asher Boates, Michael and Parker Vaughan; and nieces and nephews.
In all he did, he gave of himself. He was loved, and will be missed, by many people.
Special thanks to the medical team at Victoria County Memorial Hospital and to many wonderful at-home care providers who helped so much in Garth's last years.
Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation. Funeral service will be Saturday, Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. from Little Narrows Presbyterian Church with Rev. Andrew MacDonald officiating. A reception to follow. Private burial to take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Victoria County Memorial Hospital or a charity of your choice.
Funeral arrangements are under the care of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury.
Condolences may be forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com.

Jack and Meggie: The Cabin
by Jennie May
© Jennie May and ABCD Webmasters, 2005
Meggie glanced sideways at Jack before placing her slender index finger on the metal button beside her. She listened to the whirring sound as the car window slid down. Getting no response from her husband, Meggie shot her arm out into the highway breeze. She cupped her hand and let it ride the waves of wind as the car sped through the bright afternoon.
She didn't look at him. "Mm?"
"I'm allowing you to ride up front because you said you wanted to be a big girl until we got to the cabin. Is that still true?"
Meggie bit her lower lip. It was certainly true she had said that, but the reality was that these weekends away with Jack had the instant effect of bringing out the child inside. She didn't have the words to explain this to Jack, so she curled a finger around one strand of auburn hair and said, "I dunno."
"Uh huh." Jack knew. "Put your hand back inside the car and behave yourself."
Ever so slowly, Meggie drew back her arm. When every part of her was safely inside, Meggie watched the window rise and heard the click of the child safety locks.
"But I wanted fresh air," she complained.
"The AC's on," Jack told her. "Listen to your IPod."
Meggie rejected Jack's suggestion with a huff. Instead she stared out the window at the passing trees. Each mile that went by included fewer and fewer cars. Jack and Meggie had been spending occasional weekends in this remote, rural area for the past year. They loved the privacy of the little cabin, overlooking a lake far from any other visitors. They also loved the small town nearby where they could stop to buy groceries and supplies. Most of all, they loved that the people here thought that Meggie was Jack's daughter.
Meggie was significantly younger than Jack. She was also barely five feet tall and small boned. In the right clothes, she could pass for ten. The residents of Bear Lake thought that she was thirteen. In truth, there was a part of her heart even younger than that.
"I'm bored," Meggie announced. She kicked off her white sneakers and placed her feet on the dashboard, toes wiggling inside crisp socks.
Jack sighed. "You're starting this already?"
"Starting what?" Meggie turned to him with innocent green eyes.
"Feet on the floor," Jack commanded.
Meggie whined. "But I'm comfortable. Besides, my feet aren't smelly. They're clean and fresh." Meggie waggled one sock-covered foot in Jack's face.
Jack immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road, and Meggie's heart began to flutter. "Sorry Jack," she stammered, dropping her feet with a thud. "I was just showing you…"
With the engine turned off, Jack fixed his eyes on his wife's. "Let's talk about the rules."
Meggie made a face.
"There will be no backtalk or disobedience on this trip. Do I make myself clear?"
Dutifully, Meggie nodded.
Jack leaned closer, and Meggie recognized that unique blend of playful but serious sternness in his chocolate brown eyes. She let herself shiver. Jack's voice was soft and low. "Do you need to be reminded? I think you do."
Meggie's eyes grew wide, and she shook her head slowly. "Nooo…"
But Jack was already getting out of the car. He opened the door on the passenger side, and she placed her feet on the rocky gravel. She looked up at Jack and felt her teeth begin to chew her lower lip.
"Turn around," Jack said sternly. "Hands on the seat."
Meggie turned toward the front seat, framed by the open door. She put her hands down as directed, and her bottom stuck out towards Jack.
Jack smiled and then stepped back a moment to admire the view. She looked cute in this position, young and vulnerable. She wore red cotton pants and a pink t-shirt featuring a large daisy right in the middle. It was the pants that caught his attention. The fabric pulled tight as she bent over, outlining her little bottom. He reached out and gave it a pat. Then in one swift motion, he pulled the pants down to her knees.
Meggie squealed in protest, but she remained in position. Her panties were pink with little white flowers. Jack gave them a firm smack, and Meggie lurched forward. He followed with three more sharp cracks.
"Stop," Meggie whined. "I'm sorry, Daddy."
Jack's answer was a series of quick spanks right across the middle of Meggie's bottom. She writhed back and forth, her bottom swinging into the air.
The spanks didn't hurt really, but they left behind a sting. Meggie knew that the real discipline was being bared out in the middle of a country road where anyone could drive by and see her being spanked like a child.
When Jack pulled her panties down, Meggie wailed.
"Hush," Jack demanded, swatting her a little harder. "This is a reminder, and you tend to remember better when your bottom is bare."
He continued the spanking until both cheeks were a rosy pink and Meggie was sniffing from the indignity of it all.
"Stay there," Jack told her.
Meggie listened to his feet on the road as he walked back to the driver's side of the car. "Where are you going?"
Jack didn't answer her. When he returned, he gave her bottom another pat. Then he said, "We're going to make sure this reminder lasts."
Meggie craned her neck to see what Jack was holding. When she saw her own small purple butt plug she began to whine. "Daddy, please. Please, no. I'll be good."
"It's another hour into town," Jack told her, "and a plug for your bottom will be the perfect incentive for good behavior." He regarded her hunched form. "Stick it out."
Meggie sighed loudly. And then she obeyed. She knew it would only get worse if she didn't. She burned with embarrassment when Jack separated her cheeks, inviting the cool air into her most intimate places. Jack had coated the plug with lube, and it was slippery against her bottom hole.
"Relax, Meggie," Jack ordered. "This is only going to hurt if you make it hurt."
Meggie took a deep breath and then let it out again, willing herself to relax. Tears began to well in her eyes as she regarded her situation.
Jack secured the small plug with no trouble, and Meggie could feel its flat top against her bottom. "And now you'll get some spanks to drive the point home, so to speak."
Meggie groaned loudly, and Jack finished with five hard swats that left Meggie sniffling. "Pull up your pants now and get back in the car."
The rest of the ride was somewhat uncomfortable. Meggie knew from experience that she could forget the plug when she was holding still, but she felt it push against her bottom each time the car bounced. Jack grinned at Meggie's occasional intake of breath. He knew that the reminder was doing its job.
After what seemed like a very long time to Meggie, the car entered a small town. Meggie looked out the window with glee. She loved this place with its quaint storefronts and friendly, old-fashioned occupants. Jack pulled up in front of the small grocery store, and they got out of the car.
A bell jingled as Jack opened the door for Meggie. The store smelled like a mixture of tobacco and peppermint.
"Well hello there," said the man behind the counter. "Back in town already?"
Jack shook the man's hand. "Hello, Frank."
Frank peered at Meggie through his glasses and smiled. "You're growing up just fine, Miss Meggie. Your Daddy's going to have to chase all the boys away before too long."
Meggie smiled prettily at the compliment. Jack said, "That's a long way off."
Frank grinned. "She's growing up. You'll have to face it."
Jack just shook his head. "Meggie's a great kid, but she's not quite ready for boys. In fact, I just had to pull over and spank her little bottom as we were driving up."
"Daddy!" Meggie shrieked. She felt her face grow red.
Frank just chuckled. "One day you'll thank your Daddy for raising you right, Meggie."
Meggie was too embarrassed to look at the grocer. Jack came to her rescue. "How about a treat, Meggie? Why don't you go pick out some candy?"
Relieved, Meggie shuffled away to find her favorite. She liked the tiny pieces of licorice with pink and white candy shells. Indignant, she decided she deserved two boxes.
Jack didn't say anything about the extra candy. He simply paid for the groceries and said goodbye to Frank. "Tell Mr. Chase goodbye, Meggie."
"Goodbye Mr. Chase," Meggie mumbled, not making eye contact. As she followed Jack out of the store, she whispered angrily, "I can't believe you told him that."
Jack raised his eyebrows and then smacked her on the bottom. "I could have told him about your plug, you know."
Meggie looked around to see if anyone was watching, but there was no one around. She relaxed a little, knowing that Jack was right. This was going to be a good weekend.

Thx. Any chance you can make this dependent on a *release* of HBase ? (i.e 0.20.x). The 0.89 are developer preview only.
Andy, the reason why I took 0.89 because it's part of Clouderas CDH3 Beta, but if you prefer I can either change it 0.90RC4 or use one of the late 0.20.x versions which already has the new API. (I think it should also work with 0.20.6 but I'd have to try it to be 100% certain)
Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I'm concerned none of 0.20.x versions is available via maven so you'd have to resolve the dependency locally Just tried with 0.20.6, while it still didn't compile, it was close enough to apply, so I'll use against that. Only when they release 0.90 will I upgrade to that ... these "RC" and Beta" tags are for a reason.
Peter, SVN trunk has your plugin - not tested yet. Hopefully I'll write some tests tomorrow and add that config that you mentioned.
SVN trunk now supports properties usage too. Allows control over name of increment table. Allows control over initial value of values, and the allocation size
Andy, thanks I'll check it out after the weekend

Cute, indeed! How about adorable? Precious? Your sweeties are all those things and more. And, oh, that strudel! I shouldn't read your blog before breakfast. Heard on the news last night that the price of flower is shooting through the roof. Maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway, it looks marvelous to me!

Ist das ein gezogener Strudelteig? Soll ich mal nachschauen, welches Mehl das Sacherkochbuch oder Wiener Küche vorschlagen? Ich bin ja meistens zu faul dafür und nehme fertigen Blätterteig. Schmeckt gut, ist aber halt nicht das Original.

Hmmmm, Apfelstrudel! Am liebsten lauwarm und mit Eis und warmer Vanillesauce..... Ich bestelle mir den immer, backen kann ich ihn nicht.
Deine Wolle schaut toll aus.

I also really like your mittens and I'm glad to hear you stuck with them and didn't rip them.
Fred and Wilma are adorable. - March 15, 2008 8:51 AM

Lovely yarn! I mean Handsome (if it's to be for your son!) I'm with you, I like the 3-ply better too, the grey seems to make the other colors seem a little stronger.

I didn't really understand the desire to own an M4. The magazine was limited and it was just overpriced.
Then we got in the new civilian M4 H2O. It's even more expensive. But this time there is a difference.
Now, its worth every penny.
You get the full capacity. The anti corrosion coating. And the collapsable stock… It's the full enchilada. It is the most badass automatic tactical shotgun in the world.
2 thoughts on "Benelli M4."
Yup. I'd take one over a tricked out Saiga.
And not for nothin' it's the best shotgun in Left For Dead 2 as well. 😉
Ouch! "price comes in under $2400"?? That much better than the Mossberg why?

Fine Jackie Robinson professional model baseball bat c.1953 (PSA GU 8.5).Newly discovered exemplar ranks as one of the finest Robinson game bats we have handled and just the second specimen with the lauded vintage "42" uniform number on the knob end. Louisville Slugger 125 model baseball bat with Robinson facsimile signature burned into the barrel end measures 35" long and weighs 34.6oz. Model number "S100" is factory stamped in the knob which also bears a period original "42" player number notation (partially faded/chipped away) which is done in black paint and is characteristic of other known and highly regarded Dodgers game bats from this era. Usage wear evident throughout with ball and stitch marks visible on the hitting surface, grain swelling due to repeated contact, and green rack streaks (another Dodger hallmark). A small handle crack has been expertly repaired and as well as an area of grain swelling to the back barrel. The S100 was a favored Robinson model and is noted on his factory records as being shipped each year from 1949-55 with the exception of 1950. Subtle variations within the centerbrand of this example have allowed PSA to narrow the year of manufacture to 1953 specifically. Includes (2) page letter of authenticity from PSA - John Taube assigning a grade of "GU 8.5" and LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX

Like yoga, volunteerism can reduce stress

By: Sarah Moreland
Good news: studies have shown (pdf) that volunteering can reduce stress, improve your physical and mental health, and help you develop strong teamwork, problem solving and networking skills. If you've ever volunteered at one-time or short-term service events, you've experienced some of those benefits yourself.
Even better news: longer term volunteer projects on a weekly or monthly basis intensify the rewards of serving.

Great Beef Jerky by Gary
Moderate |
Time: 24 hours |
Servings: 10-20
What you'll need:
- 10 lbs Beef eye of round or rump roast
- 1 bottle Allegro hot and spicy marinade
- 1 bottle Allegro hickory smoke marinade
How to make it:
Enjoy this user submitted recipe. *Excalibur has not tested this recipe and is not responsible for the outcome of any recipe you try from our website. You may not achieve the results desired due to variations in ingredients, dehydration times, typos, errors, omissions, etc. Please always use your best judgment.
- 1. Trim fat from beef and slice into strips.
- 2. Put beef in a stainless steel or glass container.
- 3. Pour marinades over beef and mix thoroughly.
- 4. Cover container with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator at least overnight, stirring occasionally. (The longer the meat soaks in the marinade, the spicer it will get.)
- 5. Remove meat from refrigerator and place strips on dehydrator trays in single layer and not overlapping.
- 6. Discard marinade and dehydrate meat to a point where it will crack but not break. (I like mine just a little dryer than this.)
- 7. Allow to cool completely and vacuum pack in bags. Will last for a couple of months as long as the bags maintain their vacuum. Otherwise, store in refrigerator.

Pax Domini Sit Semper Vobiscum is a Latin phrase that translates "May the peace of the Lord be with you always". A breakdown:
PAX - "Peace" - in the Nominative Case DOMINI - "of the Lord" - in the Genitive Case SIT - "may it be" - (or "let it be") is a Hortatory Subjunctive. SEMPER - "always" - is a pretty boring Adverb. VOBISCUM - "with you" - a combination of "vobis" (Ablative of "vos" (meaning "you")), and "cum" (meaning "with")

Learn some health tips from men who battle gravity for a living.
Like most guys, when I think of yoga, I think of funny poses, Spandex pants, and regurgitating weird noises to strange music. It doesn't help that the most used image in promoting yoga is a woman standing in a field pretending to be a tree.
Still, it's recently become regular practice for me, especially since my yoga-teaching girlfriend thought it would be a good way to bond. So there I am at 7 a.m., in a yoga studio as the guy who awkwardly makes his way through the poses with the funny names.
As much as I'd like to be the nice guy who says he does yoga for his girlfriend, I mostly do it as cross-training for my other activities: freestyle rollerblading. (And, yes, I've heard the joke about the hardest part of rollerblading, so you can save it.)
Now that I'm 30, I feel the aches and pains of slamming against concrete much longer than I do when I was 15. Especially in my back and hips. That, and yoga gives me the flexibility and improved reaction time needed to keep me alive when I'm holding onto cars going 35 mph in city traffic.
Going to yoga class on a regular basis is the kind of routine I need otherwise I'd let myself become too busy to do it on my own. I feel good knowing I am not alone.
A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that people who did yoga over 26 weeks fought off back pain better than people who were given a book about stretching.
Shocking, I know. But the plot thickens: the study found that "conventional stretching" classes were better than yoga.
So, yoga is better than a self-care book, but it's not better than traditional stretching. Still, the effects of yoga are better than doing nothing, especially for those looking for a more spiritual aspect to a workout.
But it's not just yoga pants, gongs, and farting in public.
It can be a powerful tool to taking care of yourself, especially if you're like the guys that crave more out of life than softball and flag football on the weekends.
You know, men. Like, real men.
Rick Moliterno and Jon Julio are both pioneers in their respective sports. More importantly, they're still doing what they've been doing mainly because they do yoga and other hippie things.
Yoga is one of many things Moliterno—a professional BMX biker for 30 years—does to stay healthy.
"For long-term general health, I feel like nothing beats a good diet and regular, diverse exercise. As a BMX rider I try to be on my bike regularly, even if it's just a short ride. This is good exercise in itself," he said. "I also mix in at various times—to keep it interesting—yoga, light weights, and various other fitness moves. There is a lot out there, so people should create their own program out of what they enjoy."
Staying in shape is important to Moliterno, considering he's now in his 40s and his life revolves around flying through the air with nothing but a whole lot of concrete and his bike underneath him.
Yoga helps give him the flexibility needed to perform complex maneuvers, and help him recover when something goes wrong. Time off his bike not only takes him away from his passion, but it also means he can't test ride Standard Bykes, which is pretty important considering he owns the company.
Julio—a professional aggressive rollerblader for 15 years—is the benchmark in rollerblading because he's still cranking out jaw-dropping video sections. Considering 34 is old in rollerblading, Julio has to take care of himself, too. For him, that involves lots of vegetables and no meat. He also stays away from fast food, although he does have moments of indiscretions.
"It does get tough when you are on the road. Sometimes you are forced to eat fast food," he said. "But these days it's pretty easy to find organic/vegetarian foods/restaurants all over the world."
Julio says another
secret to his success is being active—daily. That involves a lot more than just
rolling around the streets or skate parks. Owner of Valo Skate Brand and TheM Goods Distribution,
Julio can get caught behind a desk more often than he wants. That takes him off
his skates, but it doesn't make him lazy.
"If I'm not skating everyday, I'm heading to the gym. I don't do weights, but I
run for about 30 minutes, ride the bike for another 30, and do the standard sit
ups and push ups," he said. "Strong knees are important. I've been riding work
out bikes for as long as I can remember. Strengthening your thighs is key in
the blade game."
Still, at the level Julio skates and Moliterno bikes, accidents and injuries will happen. That's when they say it's important to be patient and let time do its job.
"Take even small injuries seriously so they don't turn into long term ones," Moliterno said. "Rushing back in can lead to re-injury and more recovery time. I have had great success with this simple way of handling things."
Outside two broken bones from getting hit by a car last summer, Moliterno has found that proactively handling much of his health has helped him immensely.
"A little research along with being willing to try new things goes a long way," he said.
