Hello, I need help choosing an evergreen shrub to hide the area under my neighbour's porch (see photo). The taller the better. I have tall, deciduous trees there (mostly oak) so it's quite shady in the summer. In winter, it gets some late morning/early afternoon sun. Some options I've found on the web are Viburnum rhytidophyllum, Agarista populifolia (Florida Leucothe), Illicium floridanum (Florida Anise Tree) and Ternstroemia gymnanthera (Japanese cleyera). Any of these sound good? Other suggestions? I'm in Chapel Hill, NC. Thanks! |

I would have mentioned "Agarista populifolia (Florida Leucothe), Illicium floridanum (Florida Anise Tree) ". |

Allie, Plant your self some sweet box shrub there. They will be fine with a little sun in winter, and they love shade in the summer. They will need to be watered tho, mabey with a drip hose in the heat till they get established. The smell of this shrub is very good, smells like sweet vanilla, and it blooms in Feb thru April. You can just prune it down eventually if you want, although they grow pretty rounded when they get big. You can buy them in any big box store, in the spring they usually have them. They don't cost that much either, look online to see how far apart you should plant them. |

I would go with illicium parviflorum. It is very hardy and gets to 10ft. but will need supplemental water. Tiny yellow flowers and fragrant leaves are nice. |
other possibilities could be english laurel, southern wax myrtle if enough sunlight to keep the foliage dense. aucuba japonica is a tough shrub for heavy shade. comes in green and variegated leaf colors. the viburnum you mention is a nice plant, too. on a side note, my sarcococca (sweet box) is not yet 2.5' tall after 8 years. maybe she is not happy in the dry shade location where i planted her. and i still can't detect the fragrance reported for this plant. |

allielee, behind the tree trunks, is there a pitch down to your neighbor's lower level (behind the fence) ? (concern for competition for water by the big trees and any sharp drainage from topo change) Is that your driveway this side of the rubble rocks and are you planning to plant behind the rocks among the oaks or closer to the fence line? Is that fence yours or theirs? Aspects to consider before laying out the $$ for shrub evergreens and trying to do an install amid large tree roots. |
Thanks everyone for the advice. Any more suggestions are always appreciated! Dottie: thanks for bringing up those concerns. The fence is mine. There's no pitch down to my neighbour's house, although there is a slope from my neighbour's front yard going all the way through our yard. There's no driveway there; it's just all garden. I was also concerned about the trees hogging water. I'm going to cut down the little one by the fence, but I'm not planning on doing the others. Do you think I could just water them well the first couple of years? I hope to plant the hedge up against the fence. |

Here is a link to a great north carolina site for native plants, If you click on the Shrubs part you will find all the sun/shade needs and water needs. http://www.ncwildflower.org/natives/recommend.htm I am a big fan of a mixed shrub border, and it looks like you have many stones that you could intermingle in there. Instead of trying to just screen the unpleasant view, create your own very pleasant view with a few kinds of native or low maintenance other shrubs of varying height and foliage. Native shrubs are very easy to maintain, just find the ones with the heights you need. You can put taller in back and a few lower in front, looking very natural and beautiful, and another benefit is you will attract birds and provide shelter and food for them. Lovely all around! |

Hard to suggest not knowing exactly how much sunlight this spot gets under the trees. I will say in reminder that you consider the mature width/bulk of whatever shrubs you choose and plant at least 2-3 feet away from the fence for better air flow for the health of the shrub. Use well rotted compost to amend the soil rather than commercial fertilizer because you don't want to be attracting more feeder roots of the big trees to sudden nutrients. Whatever you plant needs the first couple years to establish its roots among the tree root area so years 3-4 after install you should see more growth. I'd honestly leave off the 'mulch' so it's easier for you to check for water needs and also spot if any voles decide to take up residence in the soils you've loosened for planting. I have curly ligustrum in a very shady spot against the house and shaded from morning sun by a broad vitex tree. |

Put a couple Southern Magnolias there, they'll hide all of that really well and they can handle shade. |

There's still time to reserve seats in KPC's unique summer programs, the Kenai Fishing Academy and the Kachemak Bay Writers' Conference. Both programs have developed strong followings, attracting repeat attendees every year.
A week into public registration for fall, class sections continue to fill up and close. Although the pace of enrollment is lagging slightly behind the same time last year, as the snow melts, enrollments are trending up daily. The fall semester will begin Aug. 27.
Summer semester registration is also open and students can register up until the first day of the class. Some courses are offered in a condensed, five-week block.
Students interested in staying on track to complete their degree or certificate programs have an opportunity to register for fall beginning this week. The University of Alaska is emphasizing to students the importance of taking 15 credits per semester in order to complete their associate degrees within two years and bachelor degrees within four years. Along these same lines, it is vital that students are able to secure seats in required classes as they approach graduation.
There will be a free presentation called "Mammoths of the Kenai Peninsula" from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on March 31 in rooms 108-109 at the Kenai River Campus Ward building.
Public, online registration for the summer semester opened this morning at 12:01 a.m. Current, degree-seeking students have had a week of priority registration to ensure that this group of students can secure seats in classes they need to graduate. As expected, several classes have already filled so anyone wanting to attend KPC this summer should not delay registering. The first day of classes will be May 21.
Dr. David Wartinbee, KRC professor of biology, would like anyone interested in becoming a nurse through UAA/KPC's program to attend an important upcoming meeting -- even if they have attended past meetings on the subject. The UAA School of Nursing has made major changes in the UAA/KPC nursing program that affects all future applicants. The informational session will take place at 10 a.m. on March 2, in room 109 at the KRC's Ward Building.
The 2012 Ripple Effect Film Series, presented by the KRC Sustainability Club, will begin at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23 in room 109 at KRC's Ward Building. The film series features thought-provoking films that explore the human connection to and impact on earth.
The first film to be shown will be "Red Gold," a documentary showing the growing unrest among Alaska Native, commercial and sport fishermen who oppose the proposed Pebble Mine as well as the thoughts of mine officials who wish to argue their case.
Because of increased usage and safety concerns, administrators at KPC, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and Alaska Christian College have come together asking the state legislature to support and fund a capital construction project that would extend and light the paved path along Poppy Lane to the intersection of College Road. The current paved path ends in front of K-Beach Elementary. In addition, the Kenai Peninsula College Council has adopted a resolution in support of the project.
The spring semester is fully underway at KPC's Kenai River Campus but there are a number of courses that are still available for registration. These late starting classes are open up until the first day the class is held.
Over the last year, processes have been in the works that have resulted in a generous in-kind land parcel donation to the UA Foundation that will eventually benefit Kenai Peninsula College.

Grand Marshall
An ebullient Mayor Richard Daley, Grand Marshall for the Bud Billiken parade, rides down Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago, greeting parade watchers. The parade, a community favorite, was created by Chicago Defender founder Robert S. Abbott in 1929 as a treat for his newspaper delivery boys. It has turned into one of the largest parades in the country, and certainly the largest African-American event of its kind.

OH That is really pretty. It looks like wooden dowels drilled into the top of that post. I can see some thing through the bottle. I was thinking of using short bits of rebar (18 inches or so) and having my friend weld them to a wheel rim or? Thought it would be pretty to have as the center like your flower. Then do some cement cast leaves around the base. |

I love it also and agree it looks like wood dowels. |
get some of the nails they use to put up rain gutters, I got some at Lowes and they are long enouh for the beer bottles... GeeMee |
The nails is a great idea.... I can hardly wait to try this out. I have over 200 bottles and I have a blue garden these would be perfect in. |
I would drill holes and drive rebar into them--wooden dowels rot too fast for me! Or use the 12 inch nails that were mentioned. |
That is really pretty! A row of green bottles at the bottom would look good too. |

'The Hundred-Foot Journey': satisfying tale of dueling cuisines
Seattle Times movie critic Moira Macdonald's review of "The Hundred-Foot Journey," starring Helen Mirren and directed by Lasse Hallström, about an old-school French restaurant and the Indian restaurant that opens up across the street. It got three stars out of four.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review ★★★
'The Hundred-Foot Journey,' with Helen Mirren, Manish Dayal, Om Puri, Charlotte Le Bon, Amit Shah, Farzana Dua Elahe. Directed by Lasse Hallström, from a screenplay by Steven Knight, based on the novel by Richard C. Morais. 122 minutes. Rated PG for thematic elements, some violence, language and brief sexuality. Several theaters.
Like a tasty comfort-food meal you've eaten countless times before, Lasse Hallström's "The Hundred-Foot Journey" is utterly predictable yet thoroughly pleasant. And it holds an undeniable ace up its chef-coat sleeve: Helen Mirren, sporting a nose held high and an icy Gallic accent, as the no-nonsense proprietress of a classic French restaurant.
I'd walk far more than 100 feet — wouldn't you? — to see Mirren acting huffy (one of her many specialties), and here we also see her gesturing with a limp stalk of asparagus, tossing a nice young chef's food in the garbage and intoning lines like "You cannot be nervous and make a sauce hollandaise. The eggs will feel it, and they will separate." I didn't doubt her for a second.
The story, based on a novel by Richard C. Morais and adapted by Steven Knight, is a simple one of dueling cuisines. Members of the Kadam family, headed by patriarch Papa (Om Puri) and oldest son Hassan (Manish Dayal), leave their home in India in search of a better life; eventually, they arrive in a picturesque village in the south of France and open an Indian restaurant there. Directly across the street, however, is Le Saule Pleureur, run by Madame Mallory (Mirren) — a white-tableclothed, Michelin-starred establishment whose owner isn't pleased to have something "ethnique" opening in such proximity. Territorial squabbling ensues, to the dismay of Hassan, a gifted chef who'd like to win Madame's respect, and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), a charmingly button-eyed sous chef at Le Saule Pleureur who's caught Hassan's eye.
Everything sorts itself out, quite like you'd imagine it would, but movies like this don't exist for the plot. "The Hundred-Foot Journey" is all about the food, photographed with breathless reverence: the fiery-rich reds and oranges of Indian spices, the precise artistry of a beautifully plated French entree, a slow-motion whisking of eggs that feels almost religious, a perfectly choreographed montage of chopping. The movie loses its way a bit in the final third — it takes far too long for the inevitable to occur — but it's always a pleasure to look at, celebrating food in which "every bite takes you home."

Ok this is my last question for tonight, hehe. I need to do some repotting. My cat has apparently decided that one of my palm containers feels like a great litterbox. I've put a layer of pokey-pinecones on top and I think she is foiled sufficiently now but there's an odor... ew. Crazy cat. 8 years old and never peed anywhere but her litterbox til now. And no, nothing has changed around here, cept maybe my cat has lost her mind. Anyway, there's that reason. Anyway, the fig also had a few brown spots on the leaves when I bought it, just 2 or 3, and very small. Those have since turned to huge brown spots on several of the leaves, and 2 leaves had to come off altogether. Something clearly isn't right. I had it in my dining room window, which gets bright morning light, then indirect from about 11 on. I know it should be somewhere sunnier but the only rooms in my house that get great light are 2 of the bedrooms and my sunroom. And the sunroom was too cold a month ago. It's in the sunroom now though, and has been for a week. God, I am long-winded. My apologies. I write like I talk, which is too much too fast. So I've been researching this 5-1-1 mix extensively. I haven't wanted to ask questions bc with the 1,000+ posts on the subject already, surely any questions I have will have been answered already. But it's so hard to find answers when there is so darn much on a topic already. I swear I've probably read for hours on this topic but still don't have the answers I need. Finally! you say. On to the question! I, like many, am finding it impossible to locate these pine bark fines. I have been to 2 farm-supply stores and nobody knows what I'm talking about. Making it myself is not possible from what I've gathered, because I need it now and also bc don't have a chipper. HOWEVER-- and I am so hoping that good luck found it's way to me today-- I happened to be at one of these close-out bargain stores getting a small rug for under my daughter's loft bed when I saw they had a delivery of garden stuff. One of their potting mixes, "Perfect Landscape All-purpose Potting Mix" seems like it might be a viable alternative to the pine bark fines. Might. According to the back of the bag, "This product is regionally formulated from the following: composted forest products, processed pine bark, Canadian sphagnum peat moss, reed sedge peat, sand and/or composted rice hulls, perlite and limestone. That sounds good, right? I know it's not perfect but it sounds like a good second-best? Or am I totally off base here? I bought one bag today but will rush back for more first chance I get if I receive the go ahead. Keep in mind that the alternative for me now is probably going to be my Epsoma mix with sphagnum peat moss and perlite mixed in, a little lime maybe if I can get it soon. Oh and I have 2 bags of shredded pine bark mulch that have sat up against the back of my house since last fall, I've seen somewhere that I might be able to make use of them? I figured they were probably moldy inside and I was planning to toss them. They've both been opened but mostly unused and rolled back up to the best of my ability. I am sure moisture has gotten in. If I can incorporate them into my mix I will be very glad to do so, but it seems kind of gross so I need to hear it from someone else first. Ok so two questions here: |

I would need to see the texture of the potting mix but it sounds quite reasonable. And yes, using the bark is fine. It doesn't make any difference if it is wet or not. Or "moldy" or not - the mold is just an indication of an ongoing decomposition or composting process. |
Thank you gardengal! I forgot to take a pic of the mix itself but it seemed like very fine pine bark-- like my usual shredded pine bark mulch only much finer and more moist and dark-- as if my usual stuff were shredded a few more times and maybe had something mixed in. I saw your reply early this morning and planned to go back and get more on my way home from work tonight, after hitting up a favorite nursery for a Mother's Day hosta, and I asked THEM about pine bark fines. Again, hadn't heard of it but... he gave me the name of a big mulch place in Baltimore and I went to their website since it was after-hours and under "products", there it is. "Pine bark fines"! I am very excited but will call on Monday to make sure they have it in stock. If they do I will post it here for others who are looking. Seems there are a lot of us who've looked and looked to no avail. Thanks also for the advice on the moldy mulch. I'm always excited to get to use something I thought I was going to have to toss-- these little positive tidbits help with some of my frustration for the mistakes I've made. |

yes, file managers and FTP should work fine.
and I'm all for competition, no worries. I do this for fun, not for race or whatever. Also, 3.73 cfw is not possible
i dont know yet about emulators... All in good time. There s no rush
yes, that's the point, to run homebrew.. showtime should work fine. not tested yet.
Nope, completely software based.. I won't say anything more than that for now to avoid them blocking it before release.
The "kind of" meant I need to fix NPDRM algo for it to run. And no, this will not allow backup managers. And no, it's not a CFW
1 - I won't share it until it's ready to use (still a bit complicated + some missing components), 2 - don't update if you're on 3.55.
Updated my ps3 to 3.73... oh and THEN I jailbroke it! (kind of)
Here is to hoping this is indeed the working solution PS3 scene users have been waiting for, as previously
jumped the gun confirming the
PS3 Downgrade Success from 3.55 to 3.41 Firmware
and then Tweeted "sad news.. downgrade worked, but not reliable, only works with one of Xtse's ps3s, but can't reproduce it.. I'm going to look for another way. nope, it only works on one machine, even if same model, it doesn't work on it. No idea what's different about it..."
Since then,
has released a
PS3 Expedite Benchmark Tool and Engine Ports
, an
Eskiss PS3 Homebrew Game
and a
PlayStation Move Support
update for the Eskiss PS3 homebrew game though.
Finally, from IRC on the PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.73 hacking developments:
[KaKaRoTo] heri, docpaul showtime would work fine
[sandungas] kakaroTo, this means new tcl patches for mfw and some changes to manage 3.73 ?
[KaKaRoTo] ddoo, and no I didn't fix the npdrm algo, that's what I'm missing (hence the "kind of") but I'm not
working on that, that's someone else's job
[middleman] gonna debut it at ccc kakaroto or before?
[KaKaRoTo] ddoo, and even if npdrm signing worked.. how do you install your pkg on an OFW 3.73 ?
[heri] so KaKaRoTo, once the NPDRM algo is fixed, a release will come?
[KaKaRoTo] heri, another missing bit, but once that's fixed, yes
[KaKaRoTo] but I'll probably be off country for the next 2 weeks
[KaKaRoTo] so all work will have to be paused
[heri] oh, fair enough. we can all wait 2 weeks hey
we have waited months anyways
[KaKaRoTo] ddoo, that might work.. you could also just install your pkg on 3.55 then upgrade
[KaKaRoTo] ddoo, upgrading doesn't delete any of your packages
[KaKaRoTo] ddoo, issue is, you're lost if you didn't do it before upgrading
[ddoo] but they fail because the npdrm algo is spoted by the checks in 3.56+
[KaKaRoTo] heri, also note, I "announced" it because I was excited to see it work as expected
[KaKaRoTo] doesn't mean it's ready for release
[KaKaRoTo] ddoo, exactly
[heri] yeh thats what we were saying just before you came
[KaKaRoTo] so you need : 1 - npdrm algo fixed, 2 - a way to install stuff
[heri] you only announce when you are confident it works
[KaKaRoTo] 1 has been done by someone else (don't know if he'll share it), and 2.. well, I just did it
[KaKaRoTo] heri, well, I was testing on 3.60 and it worked, but yes, I did upgrade to 3.73 to test that it still
works just to make sure I don't tweet any false hopes
[middleman] but you cant run what you installed until 1 is fixed correct?
[KaKaRoTo] middleman, exactly
[middleman] interesting
[docpaul] nice, thx KaKaRoTo
* KaKaRoTo needs to hide now if he wants to get any work done
[KaKaRoTo] ttyl
In summary,
upcoming PS3 3.73 Firmware JailBreak will be able to install homebrew .PKG files but unfortunately PlayStation 3 backup managers will not work as they require lv1/lv2 patches that won't be included.
From ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=KaKaRoTo_Kind_of_%C2%B4Jailbreak%C2%B4#Q.26A:
KaKaRoTo PS3 JailBreak Q&A
Q: Will I need special hardware (e.g. flasher, dongle, modchip etc.)?
A: No.
Q: Will homebrew work?
A: With NPDRM fixed, yes. Showtime would certainly be possible.
Q: Will recent games play correct?
A: Yes, its 3.7x, sure it plays all 1.00 - 3.7x games.
Q: Will PSN work?
A: Yes, its 3.7x, sure goes online without problems.
Q: Does it have Peek & Poke?
A: No. Peek & Poke require modifying lv1 and lv2.
Q: Do Backup manangers (e.g. MultiMAN, Rogero etc.) work?
A: No, see previously answer about Peek & Poke.
Q: Will my old homebrew still work?
A: No. All homebrew need the fixed NPDRM. Homebrew that relies on specific other patched functions/syscalls (e.g. Peek&Poke, BDemu etc.) will not work either, see previously answer about Peek & Poke.
Q: Does it gets us keys?
A: No.
Q: Does it gets us "CFW"/MFW?
A: No.
Q: Does OtherOS++ (Linux/FreeBSD) work?
A: No. Sony removed OtherOS feature after 3.15 and OtherOS++ relies on modifying the firmware. See previous "CFW"/MFW question.
Q: Will it allow downgrade?
A: No.
Q: Does it work on all PS3 models?
A: Yes. all current models.
Q: Are there brick risks?
A: No (standard disclaimer: It will be tested rigorously before release as you can expect from anything that KaKaRoTo has put his name on).
Q: Will this only work on 3.7x?
A: No. It was pretested on 3.60 and again confirmed on 3.73 before any public Tweet about it.
Q: What if Sony releases 3.74/3.80 before release
A: In that case it will be pretested on that version.
Q: So why are all the newssites hyping this that it does give CFW?
A: Because they don't read wiki's/blog's xD Besides, every minor news gets 'prolly CFW soon!' tagged by the bad ones.
Q: Is there a release date?
A: No, besides KaKaRoTo not able to work on it for 2 weeks, it also relies on (other people) fixing NPDRM.
The Road beyond... (or what can you and others do to expand the useability of it)
What is missing Prerelease (current state)?
Fixing NPDRM
Make PKG's install and run the SELFs.
What is missing after release?
Peek & Poke
lv1/lv2 dumping/patching
Backup Managers
Downgrade (already possible with Hardware flashing.
3.56+ keys / lv0 decrypted dump
Modifying firmware files
Finally, from
to view links]
he states the following in attempt to clear things up:
Hi all, I've been flooded with questions on twitter and I've read many posts on news sites and I've seen some stuff being said on IRC and I thought I needed to clarify a few things
First of all, I didn't expect to see my tweet front paged on all ps3 hacking news sites.. although I should have expected it.. but anyways, the "jailbreak" is not ready to be used, at all. I only tweeted that because I was excited having it working and I wanted to share my excitement with everyone. But this is a bit equivalent to the day I released that
script that created the very first CFW/MFW but it still took a couple of months before a real, easy, multiplatform and fully fledged solution was released : PS3MFW.
We are currently at the same state, I have the proof of concept, it works, but a solution that anyone can use where they just click a button and their PS3 gets jailbroken is still far from ready.
I've seen people say (and even write it in their front page news) that I'll release it in two weeks after I come back from vacation. That is not true and I never said that. What I said was that for the next 2 weeks, the project is on hold until I get back.. but when I get back, then I will continue working on it, and it will then take some more time before it's ready and released.
Some asked if it's based on what gitbrew was doing/suggesting or if I used someone else's exploit or work. No, this solution is my own idea and 100% my own implementation. However, the actual solution for the full jailbreak involves some components on which I will not work, and I expect/hope that someone else will provide the solution for that.
Some speculated it might be what I spoke about back in
which I later said I wasn't pursuing by lack of motivation.. and yes, you are right. The same hack I had in March is still valid today, I told a few people about it (rms, Mathieulh, an0nym0us, and a couple more), but no one was interested in pursuing it further and actually exploiting that flaw (mainly because it requires a huge amount of work to get a proof of concept working). 10 days ago (I started on the 11th), I got bored and decided to start poking at it again, and yesterday (a lot faster than I thought it would take), I got my first pkg installed on 3.73 firmware.
On twitter, I said "do not update if you are on 3.55″, I said that in response to someone who said he would update. Because of that, people speculated that you need to be on 3.55 first, and then install something before doing the upgrade. No, that's not it, that would be useless. The purpose of my solution is to jailbreak a ps3 that is already on 3.73 firmware and which had never been jailbroken before. I told people not to update because, first of all, it's not yet ready, and second of all, the 3.55 firmware gives you a lot more possibilities than what can be achieved on 3.73.
So what is this jailbreak? I won't say because I don't want Sony to block it in a firmware update (and yes, they potentially could) before it's even released (and yes, I will release it when it's ready). But I will explain this to you : in order to run your homebrew apps, you need two things. First, to be able to install them on the ps3, and second to be able to run it once installed. I did only one of these two things.
Some may say it's not a real jailbreak, but the way I see it, there are three 'jails' on the ps3, I broke the first one which prevents you from installing anything, so now you can install your .pkg, great, but it won't run, that's the second jail. The third jail is being able to modify the firmware (peek&poke).
The second jail (running apps) is something that can be done, but it's not my area of expertise (npdrm algo), so I will not be working on that. I am waiting for someone else to achieve it (some have succeeded but do not wish to release it, at least not for now) then I will release.
The third jail (modifying the firmware) is not possible with my method, this means that you will not have a "CFW", you will run your homebrew applications and games on an official firmware. This also means that without peek&poke support, none of the backup managers will work. So, again, my solution is piracy-free, and as always, I do not plan on working on a way to enable piracy (or even legal backups).
Overall, the purpose will be to allow people who are on 3.73 firmware to enjoy the homebrew games that were released, to play a bit with Eskiss, and to use Showtime for playing their movies. This should be more than enough for everyone.

It's more for the dev who want to be more interested by bypassing the ECDSA -> using timing attack
also TLS - > transport layer security, you can see that on PS3swu include TLS for the update of firmware.

Apparently you don't want to understand ? if some people keep stuff and just share without put that every on the web, we probably don't see that coming but also keep in mind that the world try to do better and better, today have DMCA, tomorrow have other things, DMCA it's just a moment to take... in the past we didn't have internet, today we have, tomorrow we can have better possibility to share, etc...
Sony didn't fail, it's the scene fail in here, also whatever they send a DMCA to Gary Wayne Bowser (aka GaryOpa) hosting some OFW/CFW so ? i think is more related to the dongle, don't think ?...
Sony never obliged anyone to buy their product and not even Apple, you know that Apple is more strict and more spying you than Sony ?... the iPhone is certainly the baddest phone i ever seen, i prefer a good nokia than i bad Apple
i use personally a iMac because of the resolution and to save some place, for some product it's good for other is bad, look what happen if the people complaining, Apple made bootcamp to support Windows (it's probably because of the help of Microsoft in the past)
I don't think Sony is that bad but it's probably doing what they think is better for the company, how much money they lost ?...
Nothin will happen to me in this way, i don't make real problem for Sony... i was already complaining about the stuff they made, like SDK Open suite that don't support Linux/Mac OS and they don't give any good support to help to the indie dev, etc...
For the PS Vita, it's different we are not obliged to use CMA...
I don't remember anything about the guy who was going to release a PSN Method but it's also doesn't make any sense, you choose like on the XBOX live, you want to keep the PS3/XBOX like that keep but don't ask too much
nobody have a life gone lol.. .and where you saw that the dev was really sued ? all is more theory/fail comment, don't take too seriously all you read on internet, stuff can be true, like they can be lie.
#366 -

I agree about the past. But today Sony is what i wrote.
They are on DMCA mode , for everything. They sent a DMCA to Gary Wayne Bowser (aka Garyopa) too, just because his website was hosting some OFW and CFW, go figure what kind of trash is now this company people daily support buying their products. Look the last EULA. THEIR product now is untouchable. For the reasons you wrote, agree. Their image was damaged. They lost and every day are at risk of losing contracts, and games could disappear. Looking the last big fails of this company, with PSPGO and now PSVITA, if they lose their face a spit more, Sony can fail.
You know what? They will not shrink. Devs will, a lawyer and it's done. Do you remember that guy who was going to release a new PSN method for go online? Guess what happened to him..
Noone saw his release, we just saw his life gone. I admire your work. Just be sure nothing will happen to both of you. Losing both of you, this scene will not be struck. Will just disappear. And what will remain will be just a commercial dongle..
#365 -

I have to clarify a missunderstood of me. Nabnab didn't take to kaka he just have read his post that shows on twitter and that kakarotoks have a debug console which was a retail one befrore.
Not that some one spread this on the web and produce a new drama with it. We dono need more drama's. We all in scene need to calm done a bit and try to make this scene good again
#364 -

Actually Sony never complaining about any hack/piracy if you check it correctly, it's just a different think happen on the PS3, it's because with some monster ego dev and weird PS3 users, the people claim, it was easy to hack the PS3 (when is not, all come from internal Sony stuff) so badly, download games and insult the Sony company.
On a way, i can understand Sony, because they didn't really attack any users or dev on the PSone/PS2/PSP, when i see some people claim Geohot do so good stuff, i was claiming he does completely the inverse of what i real dev will do... when you a dev/hacker like that, you never claim something from that way and all what Geohot did, it was a completely a mistake.
He didn't find anything => the stuff was from the past and it was a surprise for him that the PS3 have a PPC and that you need to code in C (he had a PS3 and don't know it), just to clarify something, ok it's intelligent but he never find any exploit on Apple product or any Sony product, it was not him, it was other dev that find exploit and use work from other to be in the top of everything, he release stuff that not supposed to be release => need to ask the owner before it.
Just do a small research of PS3 scene, Geohot etc... he make the piracy/hack a f.... commercial and every he claim he can push out Sony before they do this action.
Have a misunderstood about the Sony Action, i don't defend Sony for other stuff they made but it's clearly a misunderstood, Why Sony do this ? it's because of all the pub/insult they have received from the PS3 Scene, touching too much the company, etc... also they didn't give warning to the PS3 users but to the guy who claimed so much stuff that he did not.
Remember that Sony = Company, they need to make money but have also human person who work, they can be fired just for that... take the place of the worker who work in here, if you want to hack, do piracy, it's your problem, you can do it but i never seen in my life a person who claimed like Geohot or some people that they did something like that to make only piss off Sony.
I check the past and i see no action from Sony, just try to make the product better
I check the past and i see no action from Microsoft (only ban, so ?) also if you check how much Windows was pirated, Microsoft don't really care, this make good pub for the company
I check the past and i see no action from Nintendo (only try to stop the card) but they have reason, did you see the peace of crap R4, etc ?...
I mean come on, don't be paranoia, they didn't have really action from any company to a person, the only think about it was for people who make money with stuff that is free and also some mistake
I don't support the company that close the product like that but it's also a challenge for the dev/hacker that make sense
but apparently we lost all that and it's more about make money with free stuff and be famour to be on every web tv channel etc...
Who talked about it when you have actually a PS3 completely open with a CFW (do you imagine that we can do everything we want) and also who talk about ECDSA ? Kakarotoks said the way he find to make a HEN was not possible because of that but he didn't say all
and also said he don't want to waste the time... but anyway why you talk about him in here ?
and why waste that much time on that than work on something else, if you try to stop some of the work, you waste your time.
i already showed that we can do something on 4.0 and i don't need any keys for that, have already the tool, source and everything.
#363 -
- 156w ago
Kakaro said it would take an eternity to brute force it, even with a huge team (he said something like 4000 peoples everyday ?).
Forget it, you can't brute ECDS ....
Hopefully it will be hacked one day, but not soon ..

BS man... wtf are you talking about anyway ??

Juveniles arrested for vehicle burglary attempt in Mill Creek
Date: February 5, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
Two juveniles were arrested for attempting to burglarize two vehicles in the Mill Creek neighborhood this morning.
A deputy saw the two juveniles — a 16-year-old and 17-year-old — attempting to hide in front of a white truck on 2nd Avenue E in Bradenton.
As the deputy approached the juveniles, they tried walking away at a quick pace.
The deputy determined the juveniles were trying to burglarize two vehicles.
The deputy arrested both of them.
See more arrest reports from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office here.

Openbook: Share Everything With Everyone, Even if You Don'T Want to
Amidst the controversy surrounding Facebook and privacy issues, Openbook was launched. It's a search engine that can trawl everything that's published on Facebook that isn't private.
If you didn't know about this, then you should most definitely go and change your privacy settings. Anyone, from potential employers, coworkers, to your girlfriend's dad can find out what you've been saying if you're not careful enough.
Today also marked the day that Facebook introduced new and easy to use privacy settings. At least that's what the press release said. But honestly, people should be more careful with what they post if they really are worried about people finding out their personal info.

Hi, I am ready to make the plum sauce recipe posted in the "greatest hit recipes for Leesa" thread, and I am not sure how long to process half pints. The recipe shows 20 mins in BWB for pints. Are half pints the same?
Thanks! Heather |

Heather, yes, the same as pints.... |
Thanks! Got it cooking on the stove now! Smells great in here! |

My best friends are the reason I am able to get through finals week, the holidays, and any heartbreak.
Carrie Bradshaw
1. You talk to yourself.
On occasion, you have trouble making word count on your articles, because you are so used to minimizing everything you need to say into 140 characters.
The one where Carrie is fashion roadkill aka "The Real Me" You're obsessed with fashion.
Rather, as I've grown up, my opinions about each character and her lifestyle have changed.
If you're able to work 40 hours a week (more than 50 in Miranda's case) and still make it out to the bar every night or lunch to chat it up with your 3 closest girlfriends, let me know.
1. Cropping your significant other out.
Sex and the City is who we want to be, but Girls is who we are.
"It's like those guys you have the great second date with, and then never hear from them again. I pretend they died."
She was shallow, superficial, clothes-obsessed, emotionally needy, financially illiterate, and more concerned with the man she was or wasn't dating than literally anything else in her life.

Interesting project and nice pictures, Komi. Hope you keep posting. I find streps very hard to grow down here, especially with the price of air-conditioning, but I still love 'em and love to see pictures. Maybe if I can figure out the various processes, I'll post some pictures of my hardy gessies as they come back up. Something is showing today--silly little thing doesn't know we could actually get some cold-for-here weather still. I'm really excited about growing more hardy ones. Think I lost at least one, Sinningia piresiana. |

There is a very shallow area that jets out on the way into the dinghy dock and we had one of the nearest moorings to it. My dive boat that had picked me up earlier that day warned me about it stating that it was so shallow that even a dinghy would get hung up. Sure enough, that afternoon/evening as everyone was quick to come to shore for the dinner and Full Moon party festivities people unkowingly would "shortcut" through this area to the dinghy dock only to hear their dink's outboard "wack" against the bottom, pop up on it's pivot and stall - all passengers looking fearful for life. The first few times we tried to yell and wave off those headed for their beached fate to no avail (they just couldn't hear us/see us and weren't paying attention). To that end we simply would sip cocktails and await someone to say - "here comes another one"... Free entertainment.
We saw the same thing but in the morning after a full moon party. My wife and I had just completed our onboard portion of the Bareboat cruising course and were heading ashore to have breakfast and write our exam when a boat tied up to a ball on the west side of Trellis near the airport let go and motored at full throttle straight towards the east entrance. When it hit the reef I bet the stern came up 3-4 feet from the impact. Our instructor and I hopped in the dinghy and led them out of the anchorage once they had backed out. I dove on the bow to have a look and luckily they had hit a sandy portion and other than a few scrapes it looked OK. But it was entertaining. If you are planning to head for Anegada (sp) make sure you clear it with the charter company. They do have restrictions. If you miss it (and its real low in the water) its along way to africa.

What if you had the chance to build an enterprise business management solution from scratch, using the best technology and all the available knowledge of today?
Download this white paper and find out in three steps an approach to take to create the next generation of enterprise business solutions "from the ground up."
workday. Innovation From the Ground Up: The Next Generation of Enterprise Business Solutions STAN SWETE Chief Technology Officer Innovation From the Ground Up The Next Generation of Enterprise Business Solutions Introduction What if you had the chance to build an enterprise business management solution from scratch, using the best technology and all the available knowledge of today? At Workday we have that opportunity. This paper describes-in three steps-the approach we are taking to create the next generation of enterprise business solutions "from the ground up." SaaS at a Glance: The increasing interest and adoption of software-as-a-service (SaaS) is due to the ong list of benefits it brings (both for customers and vendors) as a solution model. • Pay as you go subscription model vs. "shelfware-including" license mode • No server hardware costs or hardware maintenance fees • No server software licenses or software maintenance fees • No application maintenance fees • No upgrade fees • No hardware installation • No software installation • Implementation starts as soon as the contract is signed • Reduced "vendor lock-in." Because startup costs are minimised, the customer's ability to switch solutions is enhanced over on-premise implementations • Most efficient model for application maintenance and upgrade delivery • Most efficient model for collaborative development with customers 2 Step 1: Start With SaaS For many reasons software-as-a-service (SaaS) is the model of choice for contemporary business applications. The main benefit of SaaS for both the vendor and the customer can be summarised in one word-control. In traditional on-premise approaches, software vendors faced huge variability in the technology stack Customers wanted support for specific hardware, operating systems and databases. The time and cost of upgrades led many organisations to delay them, leaving many customers far behind current versions. The requirements for multiple versions and corresponding support resulted in significant cost to the vendor, which was passed on to the customer in the form of license and maintenance fees. On-demand applications give the vendor the ability to control variability in the technology stack. It eliminates the issue of one segment of customers being on version N of vendor Y's database while another segment is on N+l and another segment uses vendor Z's database. Having all customers on the same environment allows the vendor to optimise the delivery of support and maintenance: • The support organisation no longer has to verify and re-create the customer's environment since that environment is known and the same for all customers. • Performance issues, which used to require 20 questions (at least!) about the customer's environment, can now be monitored, managed and solved by the vendor-in many cases without any customer involvement. An even bigger control advantage comes from the fact that SaaS vendors apply all updates and perform all upgrades. Instead of spending time and resources on packaging updates, training customers on upgrades, or dealing with the inevitable support requirements, vendor staff can focus on performing these processes one way for all customers. Finally, hosting the customers' applications gives the vendor control over enhancing those applications over time. Solutions that operate on-premise in the customer's data center may include unique integrations or code-level customisation. Even if the on-premise solutions include a services layer for integration, customers have the ability to go around it to directly access the logic and data of the application in other ways. A simple rule to remember is that if they have the ability, be assured they will exercise the ability. With on-premise deployments, customers can integrate to solutions anywhere in the stack. While this may create some short-term benefit, it typically creates major problems over the long term for both the customer and the software vendor. A common scenario involves a customer creating a custom integration directly to the solution database. The problem in this situation is that any subsequent changes or upgrades to the database by the vendor will be very difficult (if not impossible) for the customer to take because they will break the database-level integration. With the SaaS approach, vendors can ensure that integration and access are through standard, public APIs. This significantly improves the solution provider's ability to enhance the internals of the application on a regular basis, delivering continuous innovation without breaking customer integrations. • Quality assurance can focus on a single version and stack, rather than verifying each and every possible customer combination. 3 The cost of ownership advantages of SaaS are much talked about. The additional control that vendors get from SaaS is at least as valuable, since that contro dramatically enhances the quality of service, support and new functionality delivered to customers. SaaS is not just about cost reduction. Step 2: Use a Modern Application Development Framework Application development frameworks help productivity by automating or hiding certain low-level tasks in application development. Frameworks developed in the client-server era helped to automate the creation of relational database tables and graphical user interface forms from metadata created in the framework. More modern frameworks (everything from Java Enterprise Edition to Ruby on Rails) seek the same productivity While client-server frameworks often support multiple database platforms, newer frameworks add support for multiple Web server platforms and feature support for open source solutions at both the database and Web server level. Client-server frameworks helped developers by generating the SQL conversation between the application and the database. Modern frameworks go several steps further in encapsulating access to data by hiding SQL altogether. Developers expose relational tables as classes. Updates to data and requests for data are exposed as methods. Client-server frameworks facilitated the creation of the application's user interface (Ul) but the Uls created by these frameworks are closely tied to the application logic. Newer frameworks feature more separation between presentation logic and application logic. This looser coupling allows the "viewer" technology for an application to change without forcing change in the application logic. Services Architecture USERS XML NTERNET BROWSER SYSTEMS WEB SERVICES XML XML XML OBJECT MANAGEMENT SERVER (OMS) PERSISTENT STORE Figure 1: Workday Technical Architecture 4 Workday's business services are built on a modern application framework. The three main components of the framework are the Object Management Server (OMS), the User Interface (Ul) Server and Integration Network. Each of these components leverages open source technology. • The OMS works on the concept of presenting the application as an object model (made up of classes and methods). The OMS extends this concept by removing the need for any relationa mapping (or wrapping of relational tables). The persistence layer in the OMS is an unchanging relational structure, which is able to reliably persist transactions to the application data and metadata. Application developers do not need to understand the structure of this database and they do not need to manage changes to the structure of the database when they change the structure of their object model. This dramatically increases developer productivity as they go through the iterative process of developing, testing, enhancing, testing and so on. • The Ul Server is completely separate from the OMS. It receives XML from the OMS describing the data to be presented. From this XML it is able to generate the presentation and presentation logic of the Workday Ul. While there are many generic (built for creating any type of solution) development frameworks available in both traditional and open source forms, these frameworks lack considerable functional capability that is required for building enterprise applications. In contrast, the Workday development framework is purpose-built from the ground up for creating enterprise business solutions, going far beyond what generic frameworks offer, providing built-in support for: • Creation of multi-tenant applications; • Definitional development of applications to support efficient upgrades; • Configurable workflow process definition, execution and measurement; • Dynamic role assignment; • Automatic generation of Web services from application data elements; and • Audit of application level changes. Workday embraces the approach modern frameworks are taking to leverage open source technology, support object-oriented modeling of logic (over relationa modeling) and separate presentation logic from application logic. Workday's framework extends this approach to meet additional needs of the enterprise business services developer. • The Integration Network includes a complete Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to provide trans- formation, orchestration (via BPEL) and reliable delivery of Web services generated out of the OMS. This technology supports the packaged integrations which are part of Workday's ntegration Network and facilitates integration of Workday to the wide variety of third-party systems most enterprise customers have. 5 Step 3: Model the Business Not the Data Current ERP applications were originally designed to deliver regulatory HCM reports and required financia statements. Developers of these applications focused on designing data models that could produce the required output and then focused on building the transactions to feed the data models. Some flexibility was built in (such as extensible chart fields in Financials), but the end result was still transaction systems that were good at one kind of reporting but essentially useless for other reporting requirements (such as management reporting). Workday is taking a different approach. Our developers start by modeling the business (its people, organisations, ocations, cost centers, ad hoc networks, etc.). Then we capture all the information surrounding meaningfu events that happen in the business (hires, purchases, payments, reorganisations, etc.). When it is time to produce reports, Workday is able to use the event information to derive the required HCM, Payroll and Financial reports as effectively as current ERP systems. Summary Application development architectures are changing rapidly to leverage the Internet, new technologies and innovative approaches in software engineering. These changes are increasing developer productivity, speeding application deployment and enabling greater application interoperability. Established ERP vendors are blocked from fully realising the benefits of the new approach because it calls for replacing the on-premise delivery model, the code-based, heavy relationa frameworks and static data model-based solutions they've been selling for the past 20 years. Innovation in ERP will be revolutionary not evolutionary. Workday sees an opportunity to deliver revolutionary improvements at all levels of application development. Workday is capturing this opportunity by embracing innovation from the ground up. And because Workday doesn't strip away potentially useful information, we are able to produce other meaningful reports about the business for managers and workers across the organisation-not just the HR or accounting and finance teams. And Workday does this without requiring customisation to build management reports in Excel or third-party business intelligence solutions. Workday generates these reports for you. 6 About Workday Workday is the leader in enterprise-class, software- as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for managing globa businesses, combining the lower cost of SaaS with a modern approach to applications.

I've been trying to identify this plant which has been spreading quickly into my property in a shady area. It certainly looks like some member of the nightshade family but I haven't been able to figure out which one. The plants are about 4 to 12" high with purplish stems, no visible hairs, unpleasant odor. The flowers look like American Nightshade with white petals and a protruding yellow centre but the American nightshade (that I've seen online) always has five petals and this has four (somewhat irregularly shaped). Any guesses? |

Fish Mint? Yum! Yeah that definitely looks like it. Smells like it too. Thanks for that. From what I'm reading it will probably take over that part of my yard which tends to be very wet and a bit shady. Since it's not toxic (even edible) I can live with it. From the sounds of it, I won't have much choice. :) |

There is no living with this plant. Get rid of it now, because it will take over. Before you know it, it is everywhere. I don't normally use Round-up, but I will use it on this plant. A real nuisance. |

Cowboys saddle up for ... church? Amen.
Evangelical Christians round up the faithful in barns and riding arenas.
Leroy, Ohio
Snow has forced Ohio's Christian cowboys inside on an early spring day. Bull riders aren't the sort of people who complain about the elements, but there are certain drawbacks to setting up a church for cowboys in northeastern Ohio.
Pastor Royce Gregory, who tackled "1,800 pounds of mean" on the rodeo circuit for 17 years before turning his life to God, isn't worried about attendance. His pulpit, an engraved tan saddle perched on spindly metal legs, stands before a wooden cross ringed with a crown of thorns. It's a symbol, he says, of the simple message of faith that is turning cowboy churches like his into a national movement.
"A lot of pastors don't like me and don't like the idea of [the cowboy church]," Mr. Gregory says, referring to mainstream religious leaders in a part of the country not exactly lacking in places of worship. "But if you read the Bible, it is simple. It's only man that made church hard."
Such is the ethos of cowboy church, which is bringing come-as-you-are evangelical Christianity to the boots-and-Stetson set.
Faith and the Western way of life have long been linked. But in recent years cowboy churches have adopted a distinct identity – favoring riding arenas and barns instead of church buildings, carrying out baptisms in horse troughs, welcoming wranglers whose blue jeans are ripe with the smell of a working ranch – that has allowed them to grow faster than their founders thought possible.
In Texas, the epicenter of cowboy churchdom, the Baptist General Convention established its first cowboy church in 2000. By 2004, there were 21, and now there are 145, with 20,000 attendees each week, says Charles Higgs, the Texas Baptist group's director of Western heritage ministry.

How does water move through a leaf?
- Juice glass
- Tap water
- Red food coloring
- Scissors
- Large tree leaf, such as an oak leaf
- Crayons or colored markers
- 3 sheets of typing paper
- Fill the glass about one-fourth full with water.
- Add enough food coloring to make the water a deep red color.
- Cut across the end of the leaf's stem.
- Stand the leaf in the glass of colored water.
- Observe the leaf and make a colored drawing of it. Label the drawing Day 1.
- Repeat step 5 at about the same time each day for the next 2 days. Label the drawings Day 2 and Day 3.
The red color moves slowly through the leaf, first following the pattern made by the leaf's veins (conducting structures in leaves) and then throughout the rest of the leaf.
The leaf is part of a vascular plant. Like all vascular plants, the leaf has two main vascular tubes, xylem tubes and phloem tubes. Xylem tubes transport sap containing water and minerals upward from the roots through the plant. The xylem tubes also provide support for the plant because their walls are thick.
Phloem tubes transport sap containing water and food manufactured in the plant's leaves throughout the plant. In this activity, you saw the results of colored water moving through xylem tubes.
Scientists believe that transpiration (a process by which water vapor is lost through leaves) is responsible for the upward movement of water through xylem tubes against the pull of gravity (the force that pulls things toward the center of the earth). Xylem tubes from the roots to the leaves are believed to be filled with sap, which is mostly water. Some of the water in xylem tubes evaporates (changes from a liquid to a gas due to an addition of heat energy) during transpiration. As water is lost from the xylem tubes, the column of sap in the tube is pulled upward. This is because water molecules (the smallest particles of a substance that retain the properties of the substance) hold tightly to each other. As the water molecules in the xylem tubes move upward, water from the soil is pulled into the roots.
Let's Explore
- Will water move the same way through a vascular plant that has a longer stem? Repeat the experiment, using a pale stalk of celery with pale leaves. (These can be found in the center of a celery bunch.)
- How do changes in the rate at which water evaporates from leaves affect the speed at which water moves through xylem tubes? Repeat the previous experiment, preparing 3 stalks of celery in 3 glasses. Ask an adult to cut the bottom from a 2-liter soda bottle. Cover one of the glasses with the bottle, as shown, and set the second glass next to the bottle. Set the third glass at a distance from the other glasses and in front of a blowing fan. NOTE: A dry, windy environment increases evaporation. Observe the celery stalks and leaves in each glass every 15 minutes for 1 hour and then as often as possible for 8 to 10 hours. Science Fair Hint: Display drawings of the results.
Show Time!
- Demonstrate transpiration by placing a clear plastic bag over a group of leaves at the end of a stem of a tree or bush. (Do not cut or break the stem off the plant.) Secure the bag to the stem by wrapping tape around the open end of the bag. Observe the contents of the bag as often as possible for 2 to 3 days.
- As water moves into a cell, pressure builds up inside the cell. This internal pressure is called turgor pressure. The turgidity of a cell is its firmness due to turgor pressure. A decrease in turgidity causes plant stems to wilt (become limp). Demonstrate wilting by placing a fresh stalk of celery with high turgidity in an empty glass. Evaluate the turgidity of the celery by trying to bend the stalk. Test the turgidity again after 24 hours.

With September 20 and the iPhone 5S and 5C release date almost upon us, just one odd question remains: Why can't you pre-order the iPhone 5S? And why can you pre-order the 5C? The most obvious reason for the lack of iPhone 5S pre-orders is constrained supply, most likely due to manufacturing issues affecting Apple's stringent QA, but there are some other possibilities as well, such as artificially inflating demand and column inches by forcing fans to queue up outside retail stores.

This morning, Reuters announced that pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S3 now total 9 million. This is huge. First-weekend sales of the iPhone 4S totaled "just" 4 million. 9 million would make the Galaxy S3 the fastest selling gadget ever — a title currently held by Microsoft's Kinect, which sold 8 million units in 60 days.

"Needing it" and finding it useful, can be two different things.H25, you;re right, my bad.
That's another good idea too, i might just activate the h20 and then drop the h25 for $20. All the TV's are in the same room so its not like i need the SWM's cool all home network thing.
I have 2 DVRs + H25 all next to each other, and have MRV just so I can use the H25 to control/view everything from one place.
All recording show in one list, and I can setup a recording or series link from the H25 on either DVR.
Before I got it I too said for the $3/month I'd simply use my TV input to change between DVRs, but $3/month is cheap for what I get out of it.
