Candy Crush Saga Level 70.
24 comments:
How is this helpful when everyone gets different candies on their board at the start of the game?
- 14 February 2013 at 14:30
I agree. I've watched a couple different videos and none look the same as mine. I'm playing on my iPad and am having no luck whatsoever.

i can't pass level 70 is crazy
- 3 March 2013 at 05:55
Why do the candies on the right become chocolate covered early in some games and very late in others? The video above has no chocolate covering as he/she plays!70 is a tough level !
- 4 April 2013 at 12:57
The chocolate will only move if you break the line of licorice along the top of it...
- 5 April 2013 at 03:17
Why does the striped candy go up and down instead of across.....
- 17 April 2013 at 08:28
I love how Admin answers only one question. Keep the chocolate contained at all costs... Then what? Is there any way to make striped candy go across?
- 27 April 2013 at 04:32
(The stripes are formed by the direction of your swipe when you make the match of four.)
- 5 May 2013 at 07:30
Pure luck. I've matched three in a row with striped candy and it almost always goes up and down and not across! Not fair!!!! One time I had three striped and ready to go and the game shuffled them all and said no more possible matches! I was ticked! If I don't pass this level within a day of truly trying without spending money I will stop playing.
- 8 May 2013 at 09:29
I meant to say I had three of the freckled chocolate bombs and the game reshuffled them all and I had none!!! WTH? I have friends that have passed this level with power ups they had to pay for and even then it was a challenge and they said they just got lucky after days and days of trying and spending money.

Candy Crush is nothing but a money spinning machine for the producer of this game. I'm not buying any boosters or whatsoever and have got to level 70. Now I'm losing interest because, without spending money, I will get nowhere. And I'm definitately NOT going to pay for this bloody game. it's not worth it. I rather play chess, that's more thrilling.
- 8 May 2013 at 15:45
I've been on level 70 for days now. Used all my free boosters. My striped candies go whatever way they choose. No rhyme or reason. Candy Crush is pure dumb luck. No skills or expertise required. But sometimes I just want to scream. This is where the developers lose. You shouldn't make people angry when they play your game. It is supposed to be fun and stress free.
- 25 May 2013 at 12:18
The only thing I have figured out is that making the striped candies they go in the direction you swiped to make it. Ex. if you swipe horizontal it makes a candy with horizontal stripes and when you match it that is the way it goes. Same with vertical. But I still cannot beat this level. And I thought 65 was hard! Grrrrr.
- 4 June 2013 at 02:59
Lol, you are so funny.. I agree with you too! Loosing interest now and I will not buy any thing...
- 6 June 2013 at 14:47
Me too!! Grrrr
- 6 June 2013 at 14:51
Will never spend money on CC - wonder if its possible to level up spending no money? If its not, time for a new game!
- 10 June 2013 at 05:44
I agree thought 65 was hard but 70 even worse-so much so decided to pack in 2 days ago-have never bought any boosters-and on my last game on level 70 I had 2 horizontal striped candies one above the other which I used to wipe out the 2 lines of chocolate and guess what it wiped out the two lines except for one piece of chocolate-how can that be when it was in the same row???!!! And its reshuffled when I've had colour bombs??!! Clearly they just want you to buy boosters
- 15 June 2013 at 12:23
I have tried everything, and actually DID get down to one jelly that I couldn't access. But what I find is that unless you purchase boosters or help charms, you are left to the luck of the draw. This level 70 has me at just about to quit this game. It's no longer fun and is nothing but frustration and irritation. Whoever is designing this stuff should realize that if I ever thought about spending a farthing on this game, level 70 would decide for me never to do so.

true...I think it is the luck of the draw.

I've been telling this to everyone that can't beat level 70. Take the chocolate out before you break the X's (licorice). Then it won't spread, from there on, its not very complicated. I got my info from Tips to Beat Candy Crush Level 70 and it helped a million times over!!

GLENDALE, Ariz. --
The losses don't matter, which is good since the Raiders have now lost six straight preseason games dating back to last year.
The injuries are what kill teams, and Oakland almost took a few on the chin Friday night in a 31-27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Receiver Jacoby Ford left the game with a sprained foot late in the first quarter and was later seen on the sideline with crutches. Backup running back Mike Goodson had a miserable debut for the Raiders, fumbling twice before leaving in the second quarter with what coach Dennis Allen called "weakness in his shoulder."
And then No. 2 quarterback Matt Leinart left to get two stitches on his right hand after a blatant late hit by Cardinals third-team nose tackle Ricky Lumpkin. Luckily, Leinart is a lefty. Receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey sprained his shoulder.
The first quarter and a half was a wild affair. And it wasn't the rookies or the free agents who were following up nice plays with bad ones; it was the offensive and defensive starters.
Carson Palmer made a couple of nice passes but made a bad decision for the second week in a row on a deep pass downfield that was intercepted. And he missed an open Darren McFadden on a sideline throw that would have been a touchdown.
"It was a little bit wide," Allen said. "That's the difference in making big plays in this league. The whole offense has to execute better. And we have to limit our turnovers. We have to go back to work."
McFadden gained 51 yards rushing and receiving in the first quarter, but failed three times to convert when the Raiders needed one yard for a first down.
The defense looked great at times, with Tommy Kelly, Matt Shaughnessy and Tyvon Branch sacking Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb twice, once for a safety. But that was sandwiched between two Cardinals touchdowns.
The first came on three straight Ryan Williams carries for 20 yards and a touchdown, and on the 15-yarder middle linebacker Rolando McClain looked a lot like last year's slow, out-of-position version and not the new-and-improved one that coaches have been talking up.
Goodson, who they thought had emerged as the No. 2 running back behind McFadden, fumbled not once but twice. Goodson was playing in his first game as a Raider, as he missed the Monday opener after hurting his neck in a practice collision.
Goodson was acquired in March from the Carolina Panthers for backup tackle Bruce Campbell, and the one negative on him was he had a history of fumbling.
He had seven fumbles in 2010 and two more in the preseason in 2011 before he got hurt.
But McKenzie said just Wednesday that he thought that could be "coached up" and how impressed he and the coaching staff were with the one-cut-and-go Goodson.
Goodson left the game after the second fumble with a chest injury. He had five yards on six carries so he wasn't exactly showing off the jets before he dropped the balls.

The Toronto Rock jumped out to a four goal lead in the first 7:12 of the game, and never looked back, taking a 15-12 win over the Calgary Roughnecks in front of 9,428 at Pengrowth Saddledome Saturday.
Steve Toll had three goals and four assists for the Rock, but it was Ken Millin who sparked the first quarter offense with two goals.
Toronto increased their lead to 9-4, holding the high powered Roughnecks offense in check through most of three quarters.
Calgary, with four of the league's leading scorers in its lineup cut Toronto's lead to 11-10 with unanswered goals by Chris Panos, Kyle Goundrey and Panos again to open the fourth quarter, but a one minute spurt, which included goals by Kim Squire, Toll and Dan Stroup gave the Rock a 14-10 lead.
Colin Doyle had a goal and four assists for the Rock, while Kim Squire registered a goal and four assists, and Blain Manning scored three times and had an assist.
John Kilbride led the Roughnecks with three goals and five assists. Ben Prepchuk (4 goals and 2 assists) and Jason Wulder (6 assists) both had si

Appliance maker Maytag Corp. disclosed in a U.S. federal filing that it paid no bonus to its top executive in 2003.
The maker of Hoover vacuum cleaners and Jenn-Air and Maytag appliances said in its proxy that Chairman and CEO Ralph Hake earned a salary of U.S. $841,667, up from $800,000 in 2002.
Based on Maytag's performance against financial goals approved by the board at the beginning of 2003, Mr. Hake "was not awarded any annual variable incentive compensation," the company said in the filing.
In January, Maytag reported 2003 net income of $120.1 million, or $1.53 a diluted share, down 36 percent from $188.8 million, or $2.40 a share, in 2002.
Maytag also disclosed that it plans to amend its current shareholder rights plan, or "poison pill," so that it expires 3 years early.
A poison pill is an anti-takeover device giving the target company's shareholders a right to buy shares at a deep discount to fair market value. It is designed to thwart a hostile takeover, such that a predator would feel that swallowing the company would be like swallowing a poison pill.
In the filing, Maytag said its board intends to amend its rights plan so that it expires in December 2005 instead of December 2008. The company said it reconsidered its previous position after shareholder proposals seeking the elimination of poison pills passed at prior annual meetings.
Maytag said, however, that its board believes it needs to retain the right to adopt a rights plan in the future.
The company, which will hold its annual meeting in May, also recommended a "No" vote against a shareholder proposal seeking the annual election of all directors, a measure that has gained majority votes at its past annual meetings.
The appliance maker said its current board structure, with three classes of directors elected to staggered 3-year terms, gives the board greater ability to act in event of a takeover attempt. (Reuters)

What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Creation for Kids
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Religion, Science, and Society
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.

If the designer was able to make fruit fly genomes that distinct, why was it not possible to achieve the same distinction between humans and chimpanzees? Humans and chimpanzees are more divergent in behavior and diet than fruit flies are, so if anything their genomes should be more distinct from each other if one were to appeal to a "common design" type argument.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.

Based on the Australian author Kerry Greenwood's books, the production values are incredible. The first book (& episode in Series 1 on TV) features a lavish description of an Erte evening gown which The Hon. Phryne Fisher wears to a Melbourne society evening.

It's all been so successful that the National Trust in Victoria, where the books are based, ran a costume exhibition. The books go into incredible detail & are very well-researched, so it's nice to find a television show where the production values, costumes & sets reproduce the detail so faithfully.

It is truly excellent eye-candy, I heartily recommend it for your viewing pleasure, Sir!Annetta Mallonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-19205538990289245352013-11-02T11:41:13.088-04:002013-11-02T11:41:13.088-04:00Does anyone else see the black and white ribbon ba...Does anyone else see the black and white ribbon bag as perfect for keeping your two colors from email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-4699319843228201412013-10-25T19:31:39.655-04:002013-10-25T19:31:39.655-04:00So glad I stopped by to catch up.

The suede would prevent untoward injury from wayward needle-points, and the cords could go through holes in the ebony so that they could slide along to let it open.

I do love the bags, but appear to be the only one worried about how on earth I would set down any of them in order to open them and work on my knitting.

Challenges But Also Window of Opportunity Awaits Us!
Commissioner Tommy Adkisson
May 8, 2008
I often think about the greatest generation…raised in the depression, winning World War II and then coming back from the war to raise all of us baby boomers! As a proud member of the many sons and daughters of the "Greatest Generation", I believe we as a group are incredibly blessed. We are in many cases, well-educated, healthy, reasonably financially secure and because of the advances in medicine and dentistry, diet, exercise and not generally having to perform daily harsh work and will tend to live very old and fall apart very slowly, many of us living to 100 years old and beyond!
That's exactly why challenges involving pain at the pump and the recent rationing of rice seem so contrary to all of our experience as consumers. Prices seem to be driven by a weak dollar and high fuel prices. As I understand it, the trade deficit we carry is borne of more of us wanting more of other countries' goods and services than they want of ours.
The opportunity in all of this is that we can use our incredible American ingenuity to invent our way out of this.
Mark Clayton, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor in the April 16, 2008 edition reported that a person by the name of "Ian Clifford wants to start a global revolution by building a practical, everyday car with no gasoline engine, no batteries, and no emissions. While big Detroit automakers ponder a future plug-in car that goes 40 miles on a battery charge before its gas engine kicks in, Mr. Clifford's tiny ZENN Motor, a Toronto maker of low-speed electric cars, announced in March that it will build a new highway-speed (80 m.p.h.) model that goes 250 miles on a charge – and can recharge in just five minutes. Having no batteries, the new "cityZENN" model will use a breakthrough version of a common electrical storage device called an ultracapacitor to store power from a wall socket, the company says. Fuel costs to operate it would be about one-tenth of today's gas-powered vehicle. If that astounding claim is real (and there are many skeptics), it could revolutionize automotive travel by making all-electric cars competitive with gas-powered vehicles and easing the world's dependence on oil."
Here at the County we are leaving no stone unturned to save energy costs. That's why we are one of two counties in Texas to hire and energy manager to analyze and implement new energy-saving techniques into our new and old buildings. Of equal importance, we are shifting to hybrids where feasible to save gas. Also on the transportation front, we have initiated the Transit Initiative and provided 4,000 ID cards allowing employees to ride VIA and its downtown trolleys free. We then challenged the top 100 employers to do the same!

12 -
Images of a pair of feet hurrying down building stairs are interrupted by a title card reading, Seek the truth not in the mundane details of daily life but in the essence of life itself. A dreamlike jumble of bucolic and apocalyptic memories of rural life in war torn Chechnya, and a chorus of disembodied speakers from past and present coalesce into the single voice of a Russian judge charging a jury.
The memories belong to an orphaned Chechen youth (Apti Magamaev) momentarily nodding off while on trial in Moscow for murdering his adopted father, a Russian military officer. The decision must be unanimous, the judge instructs the jury before the boy is led away to await their verdict. A diminutive bailiff (Alexander Adashian) escorts the 12 men controlling the boys future into a makeshift jury room in a school gym next door to the courthouse. The bailiff confiscates the jurors cell phones but assures them, Youll be done in twenty minutes. As he locks the 12 into the gym, somewhere in the courthouse a guard turns a key on the accused Chechen youth.
Relieved to be out of the courtroom, the jury members snack, complain, and kid one another. A Harvard educated television Producer (Yuri Stoyanov) has a business lunch that afternoon. A touring comic Actor (Mikhail Efremov) has a train to catch. A Surgeon (Sergey Gazarov) with a family drug history is upset by the discovery of a syringe. The case appears to be a simple one and at the behest of a benignly authoritative jury member the group selects to be Foreman (Mikhalkov), the group sits down at a long table in the center of the gym and votes on whether or not to send the Chechen youth to jail for life by show of hands. 11 choose to convict. To their shock, 1 votes to acquit. The sole dissenter, a thoughtful Engineer (Sergey Makovetsky), explains that he believes they acted too fast and without the amount of discussion such a grave decision warrants.
A native Muscovite Cabbie (Sergey Garmash) faces off with the Engineer, demanding to know why he should have pity on a stinking Chechen dog. The Cabbie makes anti-Semitic remarks to an older Jewish man (Valentin Gaft) who votes to acquit in a
second ballot done on paper. The Jewish man observes that the accused man s lawyer appeared disinterested in his own defense. Alone in his cell the Chechen youth flashes back to his childhood in the Caucasus.
In an effort to sway the remaining ten men, the Engineer takes the floor to tell a personal story of alcoholism and redemption. The Cabbie and an addled Transit Worker (Alexey Petrenko) counter with declarations of hatred and distrust for non-Russians that the Cabbie says make him feel like an alien in my own city. In childhood flashback, the accused meets a group of Chechen partisans before being angrily escorted away by his biological father.
The Engineer asks to examine the murder weapon a military issue knife belonging to a partisan seen in the prior flashback. The Jewish man tells a strange but true story of his father successfully wooing a Nazi SS officers wife, and the Transit Worker presents a bizarre saga about his uncle improvising a hostage crisis. The Surgeon, who is from the Caucasus, faces off with the Cabbie and the Actor now votes to acquit, leaving 7 men still upholding a guilty verdict.
After a sparrow flies into the cavernous room seeking shelter from the harsh Moscow winter and a flashback to a grisly Chechen firefight reveals the accused mans own personal loss, the jurors improvise a recreation of the crime using the space and athletic equipment at hand. The experiment leaves the Surgeon and the Producer convinced of the boys innocence. Enraged by the new majority, the Cabbie acts-out a grisly paranoid rape and murder scenario with the neurotic Producer, who breaks down and impulsively changes his vote back to guilty. In his cell the Chechen youth silently recalls his rescue by the Russian officer hes accused of murdering while in the gymnasium, where its now night, the lights fail. The Surgeon and the Cabbie spar over the death blow itself and the tide shifts further in favor of exoneration. The Engineers doubts about the credibility of a star witness and submitted photo evidence provide more mitigation.

Nvidia Shares Jump as Earnings Exceed Estimates
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Investors pushed up shares of Nvidia (NVDA) more than 5% in extended trading on Thursday following the chip maker's strong second-quarter results.
Nvidia reported revenue of $1.04 billion, up from $1.02 billion in the same period last year and above analysts' estimate of $1.01 billion. Excluding items, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company reported earnings of 27 cents a share, down from 32 cents. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for 14 cents.
The results were driven by mobile computing, particularly the booming tablet market, according to Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. "Our investments in mobile computing and visual computing are both paying off," he said in a statement released before the market open. "Tegra has achieved record sales as tablets come into their own."
The Intel (INTC) and Qualcomm (QCOM) rival offered healthy guidance, predicting third-quarter revenue between $1.15 billion and $1.25 billion. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for sales of $1.09 billion.Nvidia expects its GAAP and non-GAAP margins to be flat compared to the second quarter, at 51.8% and 52%, respectively. Shares of Nvidia rose 5.2% to $15.47 after the market close. --Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wow. Life has been crazy lately. I've become accustomed to a general sense of crazy, but every now and again when I travel twice within a four week period and there are family celebrations and milestones and looming projects, the crazy exceeds my current limit and things start to "fall off."
First thing to go? The blog.
but hey, at least I'm not letting the kids "fall off."
It's good to be back.
I'm returning with this very pretty bowl of strawberries. Do me a favor and photograph something you eat today. In the northern hemisphere, we're finally heading into spring and I'm so looking forward to eating beautiful food. Speaking of food …
Today … I ate breakfast (sitting at the table) before I woke up the kids. Note to self: Do this again sometime soon.
Today … I have a meeting with our BPS Featured Teachers, Elizabeth, Georgana and Lisa. I am really enjoying connecting to them once a month, as we work together on bringing the BPS community our first round of inspiring project classes.
Today … I enjoyed this conversation with Taft as he was headed to the bus stop.
Mom: Who loves you the most?
Taft: My mom. She loves me first. Who loves me second? My Grandma. Who loves me third? My Dad. Who loves me fourth? My Grandpa.
Mom: I think you are a very loved little boy.
Taft: That's for sure.
I'm hoping to find time to let this exchange become a scrapbook
page. I've committed myself to two pages a week for the final weeks of
Library of Memories and I'm just barely scraping by.
Today … I noticed how much Chase has changed in one year. He recently traded in his glasses for contacts and taught himself how to put them in (this required some serious effort and patience.) He comes downstairs smelling really good and brushes his teeth without being asked. He refuses to admit that he has a crush. I'm naive, but I'm not stupid.
Today … I'm planting flowers in my pots on my porch, no matter what!
What are you doing, no matter what?

I relied on cigarettes to regulate my sleep schedule and eating habits so much that I don't know when my body's internal clock will ever reset itself. Fell asleep for half of the day again. Now it's the middle of the night and I'm wired.
I think that being more diligent with myself about getting to bed on time and eating at regular intervals might alleviate the situation. Have to admit that setting a fixed schedule has seemed like too much of a pain to bother with before now.
Also, I had my first smoking dream the other night. It was so vivid! I was just puffing away on this dream cigarette when I suddenly realized, "Wait a minute… I can't do this! I quit smoking! Nooooo!" Then I woke up freaking out that I had smoked a cigarette… until it registered that I had only been dreaming. Oddly enough, I never smoked a cigarette in a dream (that I can remember anyway) while I was a smoker in real life.

A Los Angeles day school student landed a prom date with supermodel Kate Upton.
Jake Davidson released a YouTube video last week asking Upton to the prom at Milken Community High School in Bel Air, Calif. The video has garnered more than 1 million hits.
Upton, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover model for the past two years, surprised Davidson while he was being interviewed Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show, calling in to tell him she would "love to go."
She had tweeted a day earlier, "you can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I'll check my schedule ."
Davidson promised he would get his 11 p.m. curfew waived for the date, according to E!

Baal was a Canaanite god. The word means "lord" or "husband." He was a god of weather, associated with thunder, which appointed the times of the rains, and was considered to be the son of the pagan god Dagon. The ancient Jews were often tempted to follow Baal because so much of their lives depended upon the rain that fed the crops.

Jay Bakker, son of televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker was recently on CNN speaking with Don Lemon about homosexuality. It does not surprise us that he is doing the same thing that Randy Roberts Potts, Oral Roberts grandson is doing, trying to get sympathy from people who do not agree with homosexuality. It also does not surprise us that after coming out of the closet as a gay man, the interviewer Don Lemon is interviewing those who have something in common with him without even considering how God feels about it.

EU NewsBrief: EU Leaders Strike Budget Deal
WASHINGTON, Feb, 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- European leaders today reached an important agreement on a balanced and growth-oriented common budget for the European Union.
Noting that this compromise shows a sense of collective responsibility from Europe's leaders, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy highlighted that the 2014-2020 budget is future-oriented, realistic, and driven by pressing concerns. "I'm satisfied that all along this negotiation we kept the bigger picture in mind. Even in such difficult economic conditions, we have managed to keep essential factors of continuity and of growth."
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso welcomed leaders' endorsement of an ambitious trade agenda, noting that "the Commission will push ahead to realize the full potential of an integrated transatlantic free trade agreement." He said that widening the trade agenda with the United States and Japan would be transformative not only for the European economy, but for the international economy.

Since a few days I'm a happy customer of Lichtblick, the biggest electric utility (Stromanbieter) in Germany which provides 100% green energy (or Ökostrom as it's called in Germany).
I was getting tired of all those hypocrites and liars (a.k.a. politicians) who keep on talking about global warming and renewable energy, but fail to produce any real results since many, many years now.
So I decided to do my (small) part to help reduce CO2 emissions, the greenhouse effect, and global warming. After measuring the energy consumption of all my power-sucking devices and replacing or turning off some of them, and after replacing all lightbulbs with highly efficient energy saving lightbulbs, changing the electric utility was the next logical step.
First try (failed)
As probably almost everyone in Munich, I was a customer of the Stadtwerke München (SWM). According to the last electricity bill I got from them, their sources of energy are: 17% renewable energy, 83% fossil energy sources, 0% nuclear power. Well, at least they don't use nuclear power, that's a big plus IMO, but 83% polluting, fossil crap? Thanks, but no thanks.
So I opted to use their Ökostrom M-Natur tariff, which (they claim) provides 100% renewable energy. They use the so-called Aufpreismodell (sorry, German only), i.e. you pay a few cents extra per kWh, and this extra money is invested in renewable energy sources (mostly small hydropower plants around Munich).
As I found out a few hours later (d'oh!) this "Aufpreismodell" is not really ideal (you still pay a conventional electric utility instead of one with 100% renewable energy, for instance). In addition, I stubled over a petition for the city of Munich to stop investing in a new fossil fuel power plant (bituminous coal, to be more precise). Which I promptly signed (and which went to several local parties including the greens, the mayer of Munich, and others).
Now, this is what I call hypocritical behaviour — on the one side they claim/pretend to be environmentally friendly by promoting their "M-Natur" tariff, and at the same time they invest even more money in fossil fuels? WTF? Anyway, it seems the petition did have at least some impact, the aren't allowed to invest more money into that fossil fuel powerplant than they already did.
For me that was more than enough reason to immediately revoke my M-Natur tariff, and what's more, I switched to a completely different company now, Lichtblick (see also the respective Wikipedia page). I'm not willing to support such energy policies/politics with my money anymore.
Lichtblick is an Ökostromanbieter in Germany, supposedly the biggest one.
Their "energy mix" is 100% renewable energy (which is correct, unlike with SWM, as they do not own any additional fossil fuel plants). 76% of that is hydropower, FWIW.
Their prices may be a bit higher than those of conventional electric utilities, but not all that much; you might even pay less, depending on where you live and which tariff you have now. You can use their price calculator to find out.
Btw, some other good choices in Germany are Greenpeace energy, Elektrizitätswerke Schönau, and Naturstrom AG.
How the switch went
Easy. Grab the respective PDF, print it, fill in the required info, and send it to them. Alternatively, they also offer online registration. It'll take a few weeks until the switch is performed; they have to contact your current electric utility etc. In my case it took ca. 4 weeks.
There are no additional costs for switching. There is no "downtime" whatsoever (not even a few seconds), German law requires that you always reliably get your electricity 24/7 (and it indeed worked just fine for me).
So, that's that. From now on I'm happily using green energy all day (and night) long. I'm doing my part in Saving The Planet (tm) and I sleep a bit better at night...
P.S. No, I'm not getting paid by Lichtblick (or anybody else) to write this.
I recently bought a Fujitsu-Siemens LIFEBOOK S-4572 (sub)notebook on eBay for less than 150 Euros, a really great little machine.
It's a Pentium III, 750 MHz, 256 MB RAM (the chipset cannot handle more than that unfortunately), 12.1" screen, ethernet, 2x USB 1.1, CD-ROM/DVD reader + CD-ROM writer, PCMCIA, IrDA, modem, and a 15 GB hard drive. No floppy, no serial ports, no parallel port. There's no wireless builtin, but I use a cheapo PCMCIA adapter.
The greatest feature compared to all other laptops I previously owned is that the battery life is really great, it lasts almost 3 hours (compare that to 45 minutes on my current "main" laptop).
I'm running Debian unstable on the box (of course). Here's the Linux support status as far as I have tested things:
Works out of the box using the
e100 driver.
Works out of the box using the
snd_intel8x0 driver.
Works out of the box, using either the
vesa or the
ati driver (at a max. resolution of 1024x768).
Works out of the box. Using the
Option "SHMConfig" "on" line in
InputDevice section (using the
synaptics driver) also works fine and allows you to scroll using the touchpad, e.g. in a browser. More info in the SynapticsTouchpad page on the Debian wiki.
Reading CD-ROMs and DVDs as well as burning CD-ROMs works fine. I don't think the drive is capable of writing DVDs.
External VGA
Displaying the screen contents on an external VGA monitor (or beamer) works just fine, switching is done using
Works fine, tested using the Sitecom WL-112 wireless card. The driver installation for that is straight-forward, too:
$ apt-get install rt2500-source $ m-a a-i rt2500-source $ dpkg -i /usr/src/rt2500*deb
Special keys
All the Fn-keys work fine (brightness, volume, etc.). There are five other special keys (for starting a browser or something) which I haven't tested, but I don't really care...
Works fine, but it's only USB 1.1, so some higher-speed devices will not work (DVB-T USB devices for example; PCMCIA DVB-T adapters might work).
IrDA, Modem
Untested, I don't care.
Powersaving, Suspend to RAM
It seems this CPU (Pentium III, Coppermine) doesn't support frequency scaling, so
cpufreq-set doesn't work. I'm using laptop-mode-tools to improve battery life a bit more, though. Also, Suspend-to-RAM works fine out of the box:
$ apt-get install hibernate $ hibernate-ram
Suspend-to-Disk works fine, too, even though I'm using a dm-crypt'ed disk (+ LVM), as with all my boxes:
$ hibernate-disk

Other resources
I'm really considering making this my "main" box even though it's a bit older/slower, as my current laptop with 45 minutes battery life is a major pain when travelling...
I got bored recently, so I rebuilt the whole Debian archive on one of my machines. To make this not a completely useless excercise, I used the Open64 compiler instead of gcc and created build logs for your perusal.
So what is Open64?
From the Wikipedia page:
Open64 is an open source, state-of-art, optimizing compiler for the Intel IA-64 (Itanium), AMD Opteron and Intel IA-32e architecture. It derives from the SGI compilers for the MIPS R10000 processor. It was released under the GPL in 2000, and now mostly serves as a research platform for compiler and computer architecture research groups. Open64 is licensed under the GPL. Open64 supports Fortran 77/95 and C/C++, as well as the shared memory programming model OpenMP. It can conduct high-quality interprocedural analysis, data flow analysis, data dependence analysis and array region analysis.
Open64 installation
The installation is pretty easy fortunately:
$ wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/open64/open64-4.0-src.tar.bz2 $ tar xfvj open64-4.0-src.tar.bz2 $ cd open64-4.0 $ export TOOLROOT=/opt/open64 $ make $ make install (as root)
I think you need gcc-3.4 (gcc 4.x is not yet supported), and for some odd reason you also need csh as one of the install scripts seems to use it.
It would be nice if someone could package Open64 for Debian, I definately don't have the time to maintain such a huge package (a whole maintainer team would probably be good here).
Rebuilding the Debian archive
There are several possible ways (and tools) to rebuild the Debian archive; I've used pbuilder/cowbuilder with the rebuild scripts from Bastian Venthur, which are now included in pbuilder.
First we need to install the required packages, setup a cowbuilder base chroot, and get the list of packages:
$ apt-get install cowdancer grep-dctrl wget devscripts sudo $ cowbuilder --create --distribution lenny --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/testing-base.cow $ cp -r /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/rebuild . $ cd rebuild $ ./getlist lenny
Now we add Open64 into the cowbuilder chroot and fix up the chroot by pointing the gcc/g++ symlinks to Open64:
$ cp -a /opt/open64 /var/cache/pbuilder/testing-base.cow/opt $ chroot /var/cache/pbuilder/testing-base.cow $ cd /usr/bin $ mv gcc gcc.orig $ ln -s /opt/open64/bin/opencc gcc $ mv g++ g++.orig $ ln -s /opt/open64/bin/openCC g++ $ exit
In addition, we set the
CC and
CXX environment variables to Open64, which will make 90% of all (autoconf-using) packages automatically use Open64. We need a small script for that:
$ cat c.cfg: export CC="/opt/open64/bin/opencc -m32" export CXX="/opt/open64/bin/openCC -m32"
Now edit the
buildall script. Change the Debian mirror used there (optional) and make it use our
c.cfg script by adding the
--configfile /path/to/rebuild/c.cfg option in the "pdebuild" line.
We can now finally start building the archive:
./buildall list.lenny.i386 lenny
You can also run multiple
buildall instances at once to speed up the archive rebuild on SMP/multicore machines, and you can even abort the command and simply restart it later. The script will continue where it left off.
The whole rebuild (with 2 instances of
buildall running at the same time) took ca. 9 days on an AMD64 Athlon64 X2 (dual core, 1.8 GHz each) machine with 1 GB of RAM.
I really should have used something like apt-proxy to speed up the rebuild and save some bandwidth, but I read about apt-proxy too late...
All log files from my rebuild are available for detailed analysis if anybody is interested (you can browse the logfiles online or download all of them as tarball). I didn't perform any detailed analysis, just some rough numbers here:
If anybody does some more elaborate analysis, please let me know.
OK, so I've setup a RAID5 at home because I'm getting tired of failed disk drives and data losses.
Some notes:
Some stats from bonnie++ if anybody cares:

(Now, if I only knew what all those figures mean ;-)
No, neither the software RAID5, nor the dm-crypt layer nor LVM cause any measurable performance degradation whatsoever (from my subjective feeling). I don't care enough to measure anything. The CPU is idling all the time.
Power consumption is rather high (partly due to the mainboard and CPU, but also because of the disks + fans) and the system is pretty loud, which both sucks on the long run. I plan an ultra-silent, ultra-low-power RAID5 with 2.5" disks attached via USB to a (silent, low-power) NSLU2 for later.
Note: This article is part of my Testing stuff with QEMU series.
From the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD port page:
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is a port that consists of GNU userland using the GNU C library on top of FreeBSD's kernel, coupled with the regular Debian package set.
Q: Why would anybody want to do that?
A: Why not? [1]
So, after we have talked about that, let's start:
apt-get install qemu
wget http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/install-cd/kfreebsd-i386/20070313/debian-20070313-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso
qemu-img create -f qcow2 qemu_kfreebsd_i386.img 5G
qemu -boot d -cdrom debian-20070313-kfreebsd-i386-install.iso -hda qemu_kfreebsd_i386.img
ALT-F3. Do it.
At the end you must select "No" as you're told to do, then reboot via "Exit Install". You can then shutdown QEMU.
qemu -hda qemu_kfreebsd_i386.img
nano /etc/network/interfaces
/etc/init.d/networking restart
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install vim xorg icewm xterm
apt-get install kbdcontrol
adduser uwe
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" [...] Section "Device" Driver "vesa"
Wasn't all that hard, eh? Now, if you've got some spare time, head over to the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD wiki page and help improving this port ;-) You should probably start with reading the PORTING guide.
Both kfrebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64 seem to be reasonably stable already (and more than 70% of the whole Debian archive builds fine on these architectures, see kfreebsd-i386_stats and kfreebsd-amd64_stats). I'll quite likely install kfreebsd-amd64 on one of my boxes soonish and start using it, maybe I'll even find some time to fix/patch/port some packages...

3rd February, 1926
Dear Mr. Bruce,
Since my last letter there have been several interesting happenings. Parliament reopened yesterday. The King's Speech contained only two references of any interest from an Imperial view point: firstly, an announcement of the intention to introduce a Merchandise Marks Bill 'to provide in suitable cases for marking imported agricultural produce and manufactured goods, so that they may be distinguished from the products of this country, and Empire goods distinguished from those of foreign origin'; secondly, a Bill to give effect to the proposal for a 10,000,000 loan for the development of British East Africa.
The omission of all reference to the schemes of educational publicity recommended by the Imperial Economic Committee may be serious.
Voluntary preference is at best a very dubious alternative to
either tariffs or import licences for assisting Empire products in the United Kingdom markets. If voluntary effort is to have a sporting chance of being effective, it is essential that the Government responsible for putting it into effect should adopt the plan with enthusiasm. If the Government continue to delay a decision I fear a 'still birth' for the proposals.
On Monday last I had an hour with Mr. Amery at the Colonial Office. He was in very good form. He asked me frankly to express my views about the Imperial Economic Committee and about Empire trade. I told him that of the four possible methods of helping Empire trade in United Kingdom markets (Tariffs, Import Licences, Subsidies and Voluntary Preference) the first three had all been rendered impossible for the time being by the action of the Government itself. He expressed great surprise about the effect of the Anglo-German Treaty. [2]
I told him that the Board of Trade quite definitely advised the Imperial Economic Committee that the Treaty blocked any possibility of using any form of prohibition on goods. He promised to look further into the matter. I told him that I felt that, under the circumstances, H. M. Government ought to embark with vigour upon the voluntary preference scheme. He agreed but indicated that there were diverse difficulties.
He asked me what sort of a report the Imperial Economic Committee was going to produce on Fruit. I told him that I hoped it would be a good one. He said he very much hoped so, for although he regarded the First Report as really good, the Meat Report had left no impression upon his mind. He then asked me what views the Dominion Representatives on the Imperial Economic Committee held about the proposed Executive Committee. I told him that, as I had said to him before, we all regarded it as essential. He expressed agreement and suggested that it should be connected with the Dominion and Colonial Office rather than the Board of Trade. I told him that the British representation on the Imperial Economic Committee was deplorably weak; a view to which he did not dissent.
I told him that if he did not disapprove, I proposed to do everything I could, in a quiet way, to make the back benchers of the Conservative Party challenge the Government to produce real and effective plans for Empire development and trade. He agreed that this was most desirable even if it meant that he would have to answer a host of questions which he would rather have left unanswered.
Finally I said that, in my opinion, the Government had not given the Imperial Economic Committee a fair spin and that, as the Committee's scheme was the only available one, I hoped that he could arrange that, at an early date, the Prime Minister [3] could give the Government's strong blessing to Educational publicity.
I spoke extremely frankly throughout this interview and Mr. Amery appeared to welcome this.
Through the good offices of Casey, I met Philip Kerr, who was Lloyd George's [7] Secretary engaged with the Irish troubles and who has succeeded Grigg [8] as Secretary of the Rhodes Trust. He is one of the principal contributors to the Round Table. I had dinner with him and John Dove, the Editor, was also there. Kerr told me that the Round Table had decided that too long had they allowed Lionel Curtis [9] to keep the group away from Empire economics. They had, he said, come to realise that the real solutions of Empire politics were to be found in Empire economics.
He was proposing to write an article on the subject in the forthcoming number of the Round Table.
We had a long and interesting talk and finally Kerr asked me to criticise his article. This I have done, of course, without attempting to replace Kerr's views with my own. The Round Table people have, in the past, been frigid to Preference and I think that his article will be a very useful start in a better direction. I told Kerr that, in view of the urgency of some action before the proposed Imperial Conference, one article in the Round Table would do little good and that vigorous propaganda was required. He agreed and promised to get Geoffrey Dawson [10] of the 'Times' to meet me in the near future and also to arrange a meeting with some of his left wing Conservative friends.
I enclose copy of an article in the 'Daily Telegraph' of 1st February. [11] I asked Archibald Hurd [12] to get Burnham [13] to let him write on this subject.
I enclose copy of the article to which I referred in my last letter.
You may be interested to have your attention drawn to the following paragraph in the King's Speech: 'Invitations are being issued to the Governments of Belgium, France, Germany and Italy to attend a Conference in London to consider the possibility of securing an effective international agreement for regulating hours of labour'. In a speech on the Address in Reply made yesterday, Mr. Baldwin stated that British ratification of the Washington Convention on Hours of Labour was conditional upon the successful termination of this proposed Conference.
In this connection I think you may care to refer to my letter of November 19th [14] in which I describe an interview with Mr.
Baldwin on the subject of the Labour Party Committee's Report on the Importation of Sweated Goods and perhaps to the Report itself.
It is possible that the mention of this matter in the King's Speech is connected with the Report.
Through the High Commissioner's Office I received a memorandum from the Department of Trade and Customs on Australian wine and the Portuguese and Spanish treaties. This memorandum contained a request that the Australian Representatives on the Imperial Economic Committee should raise the question when an opportunity occurred.
As there is no chance of such opportunity in the near future, I propose to discuss the matter directly with Sir Sydney Chapman, the Permanent Secretary of the Board of Trade.
Yours sincerely, F. L. MCDOUGALL
