Bodybuilding gave disabled Jonti the confidence to live his own life
Last updated at 20:34, Thursday, 10 May 2012
"There's nothing you can do that I can't do," says Jonti Wilson.
"If you asked me how I'd tackle that counter over there I would find my own way, I'd just pull myself up onto it and hop over."
Sheer determination fills the bodybuilder's face as he points in the direction of his gym's reception area as we talk about how he copes with vigorous training regimes and day-to-day tomfoolery.
Jonti, 39, of Station Road, Aspatria, was born without a right leg due to a mild form of spina bifida and for years he hid his disability to avoid prejudice from other people.
As soon as he fell into the sport, which is popular with a host of celebrities including Jodie Marsh, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Dam, his confidence rocketed.
He says: "Bodybuilding is the thing that's really given me confidence. I never used to wear shorts and I used to hide myself away.
"I was shy, withdrawn and if people even glanced at my leg and asked what was wrong with it, that would make me feel uncomfortable.
"Now I just don't care; this is me. It's not like I have half a heart or half a brain I was just born without a limb. I can still do all the things that most people with two legs can, I can probably do more. It just took me a long time to realise and I have bodybuilding to thank for that."
Jonti, has just taken over the town's Presice Fitness gym and reopened it as Jonti's Gym.
He says guest appearances at a host of bodybuilding shows over the years, including Jo Walkers South Lakes Classic in Ulverston, have helped increase his body confidence.
Next month he will take to the stage at the two-day Hercules Olympia in Essex, a huge event in the bodybuilding calendar.
"You have to wear the smallest shorts so almost everything is on show. It's given me great confidence to see people in the audience clapping and cheering for me. I've even heard people say 'he's in better shape than some of the competitors'. To have that sort of praise is fantastic," he says.
"I think my first show at Jo Walkers in 2009 is the one that sticks in my mind the most. It was so emotional because I just didn't know what to expect.
"My son Michael doesn't show his emotions easily but when I finished he stood up and pointed at me and started clapping with his hands high above his head. That image has stuck with me."
Jonti, who won the UKBBF Championship in 2010 in the wheelchair section, said he would not appear in the show again because he was asked to cover his leg and judged only on the top half of his body.
He says: "They made me cover up my leg and that's one of my best features. I've even been nicknamed Calfzilla because my calf is so big. I'm quite happy just to do guest spots at the moment.
"Some people say I'm their inspiration, which is really something, but I don't go out of my way to actively seek that sort of attention. This is just me doing something that I like doing."
Jonti, who was born in Whitehaven, worked for the ambulance service before taking up a job method acting for a company called Trauma FX in 2008.
The company simulates emergencies to help train army and medical personnel and involves Jonti travelling around the country with a team of make-up artists who made it appear as if he had lost his leg in violent circumstances.
He says: "You have to mentally prepare yourself and take yourself down into that sad state. At points I've been proper crying and imagining it all happening to myself to make it as realistic as possible.
"Doing the method acting has been another thing that has helped my confidence, especially with people."
He met his wife Dawn, 39, at Keswick Leisure Pool when they were both 18 and their son Michael is 19.
Jonti says he started training after struggling for breath following a kayaking session with friend Mick Gregson, of Aspatria, on Derwentwater in 2008.
"I was a lot heavier than I am now and an ex-smoker so I had everything going wrong for me," he adds.
"The atmosphere in the gym is amazing and the lads I train with don't make me feel different. I've got a lot of knowledge, experience and patience so I think that's why people are so confident coming to me for advice and I think that's one of the reasons the gym will work.
"I have a motto – never say never to me – and that's something I will always follow and encourage others to as well."

School of art brings a new slant to the rooftop garden
Article Summary
Architectural firm CPG Consultants has fulfilled its "green" brief by incorporating a grassed rooftop into the flowing lines of the 5-storey School of Art, Design & Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The 18,000 sqm building maintains the fluidity of the surrounding valley from the entrance to the main foyer and up into the external turfed roofs. Featured internal glass walls serve to enhance this visual connectivity with the lush surrounding, whilst also allowing light to flood through the classrooms.

There are no appropriate words to describe this shirt, but... I like it.
cuteness overflow error
This shirt has Adonis DNA and tiger's blood. It is that awesome! Congrats, Boots and Edgar! I was waiting to see this one go up somewhere ^_^.
The artwork on todays shirt is very beautiful and vibrant. I think this shirt will sell out fast.
I do not see the couch.
Is this seriously a Edgar/BootsBoots collab? Did I just die and go to heaven?
One pill makes you larger and one makes you small, and if you go chasing rabbits...
It looks like Rainbow Bright ate a bag of Pan-galactic Gargleblasters and it didn't work out... (Looks cool, but like a montage of crazy color) *edit* *apparently le wootbot will edit the brand that lets you taste the rainbow... odd*
what the- this is...interesting
I too have often wanted to eat me a tasty book. Awesome work guys. Oh yeah, moratorium lifted for outrageously awesome shirt.
Woah, how long did this take for you guys to create? There are so many little details to this I'm still finding things and probably will for the next hour or so.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHATWHATWHATWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT AAAAAH YEAAAAAAH Ahem. Yesssssssssssss. Do I hate lemon shirts? Yes, I do. But must I have this and wear this and love this? YEAH, DUH. Yes, I will, indeed. *clicks*
I'm pretty sure this is what is referred to as a "gateway shirt."
"You should hear how the colors taste." Yea for synesthesia.
the whispering pillow creeps me out the most xD
Cream color shirts are the worst. I own one, and I still love the design, but the color is just too awful to wear. Is this color actually popular?
I'm even breaking my "No Rainbows" rule for this one.
HEY!! Why is that flower faceless?!
It's like Reading Rainbow... ...on crack.
"You got your Edgar in my Boots Boots!". "You got your Boots boots in my Edgar!" Two great tastes that taste great together. Perfect collab.

I have good news.
I'm not entirely sure what exactly is going on here...but I think I like it?
Write up reminded me of the really weird kids' show, Yo Gabba Gabba.
This reminds me of my night out with George Carlin back in the 70's. Woke up the next day with a headache and a tattoo. It says Frank.
It's lemon?
Reminds me of Richard Scarry's stuff. Great for kids!
Argh! I was this close to finishing my kid's show pilot about a wailing whale, mysterious hands, and a creepy talking pillow! Back to the drawing board, I guess.
Great collab!!
Can someone please explain this cause I'm totally confused
remisser wrote:The artwork on todays shirt is very beautiful and vibrant. I think this shirt will sell out fast.
If this sells more than 700, I will be stunned. And happy. I'm in for one fo sho. Spectacular work.
Too busy for me but Im always happy to see Boots published.
Always wondered what happened to things the Katamari runs over but fails to pick up. A monster collaberation, everyway you look at this is weird and fascinating.
This is by far the most horrifyingly beautiful shirts I have seen. I must own this. I was going to wait till I wake up in the morning, but if what remisser says is true, I will be super mad at myself if I let this one slip by me. Please make more crazy shirts you guys that made this crazy shirt!
drunkenalien wrote:Can someone please explain this cause I'm totally confused
I don't think it can be explained in words. At least not in just one voice. It needs multiple voices, shouting hymns across the moors as radiant colors shimmer through the cosmic planes. Then maybe, in a dream, you will hear it whisper. Or maybe it was just an echo.
theres a pillow telling me to be quiet. then i bought it. it was inevitable.
In shirt.woot land, rainbow tastes you!
Hey now, don't go insulting lemon by calling it cream.
I can't see where the boots ends and the edgar begins. And that's a beautiful thing.

Teenage girls don\'t usually wear lingerie. When a girl is 18 or 19, it\'s enough for her to be in the room naked with her perfect little body. But Ella Marie wanted to wear something special for this scene, so we took her out shopping and bought her her first set of cute lingerie. Pink of course. Ella is the kind of girl who gets you a little too excited. When you see her long legs and her C-cup breasts filling up the screen, you just want to grab her and fuck her senseless right away. But we took our time and let her be in control of this scene. Ella loves sucking cock and really looking up at you to make sure she\'s doing a good job. She made sure she sucked until he finished in her mouth...and we couldn\'t have asked for a better blowjob. Enjoy the lingerie Ella!

Wilderness Society applauds House for moving beyond 'gridlock' but says new amendments lead legislation astray

Glyph Composition/Decomposition
Tag: ccmp
Function: To minimize the number of glyph alternates, it is sometimes desired to decompose a character into two glyphs. Additionally, it may be preferable to compose two characters into a single glyph for better glyph processing. This feature permits such composition/decompostion. The feature should be processed as the first feature processed, and should be processed only when it is called. In Syriac, the character 0x0732 is a combining mark that has a dot above AND a dot below the base character. To avoid multiple glyph variants to fit all base glyphs, the character is decomposed into two glyphs...a dot above and a dot below. These two glyphs can then be correctly placed using GPOS. In Arabic it might be preferred to combine the shadda with fatha (0x0651, 0x064E) into a ligature before processing shapes. This allows the font vendor to do special handling of the mark combination when doing further processing without requiring larger contextual rules.
Mark Positioning
Tag: mark
Function: Positions mark glyphs with respect to base glyphs.<I> In the Arabic script, positioning the Hamza above the Yeh.
Mark to Mark Positioning
Tag: mkmk
Function: Positions marks with respect to other marks. Required in various non-Latin scripts like Arabic. In Arabic, the ligaturised mark Ha with Hamza above it; can also be obtained by positioning these marks relative to one another.

So Zero nvidia, Zero Windows, Zero fglrx only Linux in OSS driver?
Good, that is called reality denial syndrome.
You've advanced your level, congratulations.
So Zero nvidia, Zero Windows, Zero fglrx only Linux in OSS driver?
Good, that is called reality denial syndrome.
You've advanced your level, congratulations.
Your next level will be like this:
As soon as you touched the first performance nvidia card, like a 9800GT, GTS 250, GTX 260/275/280/285, GTX 460 etc, you will be in a total shock of why you wasted so many years torturing yourself using ATI, and a total convert to nvidia lover you will become.
What's wrong in only using open-source software? Last time I checked everyone has the right to choose what they want, even if it's something different from what YOU want.
I also used nvidia and ati graphics cards in the past and it's true that nvidia used to have the best binary-only drivers, but nowadays fglrx is way better than what it used to be. Once it gets proper video acceleration, the only advantage nvidia has in linux will be gone. A little competition is good for the end user.
The lag can be caused by not having compiz enabled... Once you enable compiz. it actually gets fixed fairly fast.
You mention an radeon hd4670, And no other hardware information relative to the system. I know that some manufacturers have released agp versions of the hd2000 and up cards, which tend to cause a lot of bugs on linux. I also would like to recommend trying to put a proper bug report on the official unofficial bugzilla for the ati drivers.
You're making it sound like the performance is very close. Another ATI owner is suggesting you might have a higher-grade ATI card and a lower grade Nvidia card yet the Nvidia card will outperform the ATI one in Linux. There's a discrepancy there so someone's claims isn't adding up.
Fglrx is better but there's still complaints of tearing. Someone is exaggerating the state of things since something just isn't adding up.
One customer might be satisfied with things and you have the option of using the open source driver in some cases. But, if you need features that only the binary driver can provide, you might not be a happy camper if your card cost $300.
You have two recent articles right here at phoronix that cover exactly that "higher-grade ATI card and a lower grade Nvidia card" issue, and it's not true.
Take a look at the numbers in this article that shows the HD4850 performance:
And now this article that shows GTS250M performance (but at a lower resolution):
The GTS performs worse than the HD as is expected, not the other way around as some make it seem. You can also see in this other older article some different nvidia cards, and notice the 9800GT pumping out 55fps vs the 79fps of the HD4850 in nexuiz at max resolution:
The difference in performance is also consistent with what was expected.
BTW, I just noticed there isn't a single article comparing the performance of the proprietary nvidia and ati graphics drivers, or did I not search enough?
Trust me, fglrx has evolved A LOT in these last two years. I know what I'm talking about, since I tried to install it in a debian system years ago and it was impossible!!
OTOH, if you're talking about video playback performance, then yes, the nvidia driver is better, although some fglrx users have reported success in some ocasions. I don't watch that many videos on my computer so I don't really know a lot about this.
really? i should test this again..

On my walk home under pristinely starry skies and through a welcoming cluster of snow-covered spruce trees, I started thinking about the passion that fuels our adventure in the first place, the in-the-moment experiences that keep the flame alive, the thoughts and emotions that we take with us at the conclusion of adventure, and the itch to venture forth, yet again, that develops soon thereafter. For me, the constant in this wild and wonderful constellation is an urgent sense of connectedness to and appreciation for the natural world. The knowledge that mountains, rivers, valleys, fjords, glaciers, and even beaches (yes, I like to unwind with some mindless lounging occasionally) await my light and respectful footprints whets my appetite for more every single day.

This is a good thing, right?
I'm looking forward to seeing her under any circumstances whatsoever. Points, no points...even skating without music would be fine with me. Go for it, YuNa!
According to the Korean Media, she'll be executing jumps as same as she did at the Olympics.(no triple axel)
It also said the program won't be watered down like many of skaters in the competition today!
can't wait to see her on the ice
Has she ever done triple axel? And if she is anywhere near as good as she was in Vancouver she should be the favorite for the world title.
Sorry, the source isn't credible because it's not Yu-Na or her agency speaking on her behalf. What you posted is also misleading. Yu-Na won't be doing the exact same jumps as she did at the Olympics because the rules won't allow her to. Yu-Na hasn't said anything about what her jumps will be.
However, Yu-Na already landed triple lutzes, salchows, and toeloops in her summer show (she has never included flips in exhibitions, so not a big deal there), so you can logically conclude that she'll be attempting likely 3 lutzes across the SP and the FS. Her layout, if she goes for the 3/3, will probably be the same as 2011 Worlds, and yes, that's pretty challenging, but again, this isn't confirmed.
If Yu-na waltzes onto the ice after a two-year break and hits a triple Lutz /triple toe I for one will
Ahh i see your point, i was just so excited to hear her coming back and when i saw this article i thought it was credible. I thought the guy/girl who commented were her coaches but when i read it again, it seems more like skating committee who said it. But either way, i hope she delivers what she accomplished in the olympics or the worlds
At this point I'm just happy to see she might be back on the ice competing. Not too concerned about what jumps she's throwing at the moment because she still has training time. It's more important, I think, to get her competitive legs under her again. I wish her luck. She's beautiful to watch on the ice.
As I recall, she abandoned the attempt to perfect a triple axel because it was the jump that most hurt her back. There was certainly no need for her to have one, considering her arsenal of huge jumps and combinations. All of which I hope she still has so that we can enjoy watching them!
Like Olympia said, it hurt her back very much. However, she did try to attempt it since Mao had triple axel.
Here's a video of Kim attempting triple axel, the second jump (around ~11 sec)

"Interesting stuff"
all it is is small wood shavings with the powder additive added to it. Shavings smells good though ~ lol. added to my small litter box to my litter. It seemed to work. Too bad they don't have bigger containers of the "litter additive" . The 12oz is not enough for my multi household of cats. So I thought I would try this.
"Great Product"
I have used this product for almost a year now and it seems to be working as it claims. I haven't noticed a huge difference in bedding usage, but I have noticed a huge difference in the absorption and order reduction. I would recommend this product.
Amazing...my bedding costs are way down this month! I have no odor or big pee spots. I actually have to search for the spot to be sure my girl is urinating. At first I emptied the auto waterer and put a big tub of water so I could be sure she was actually drinking! Amazing!

Breakfast #27: Kesong Puti & Mango Jam Melt
Summer is here! Once again the asphalt sizzles, the heat is just this side of unbearable, and our thoughts turn to keeping cool. In Manila, summer for me means unbearable city heat trapped between buildings and turning my little flat into an oven...while I dream of the blue skies, white sands, and crystal seas that surround our islands, but seem so far away from my immediate urban reality.
As I sit here with my dreams, hoping to squeeze some beach trips between the piles of work that know no such thing as a "summer holiday", one very summery promise wafts through the warm air...the scent of ripening mangoes. Mangoes here are like women in Brazil (or at least everyone's idea of women in Brazil) – every single one gorgeous! Yes, we are home to the Gisele Bündchen of mangoes (in my humble opinion). Different provinces and regions lay claim to growing the best mangoes in the country. Some say Guimaras, some say Cebu, some say Zambales. I say tough competition for the growers, but a lovely position for the eaters! :)
Presently, I have a bunch of mangoes from Zambales ripening on my dining room table. With their tantalizing fragrance perfuming the sultry air, I don't feel so bad being stuck in a concrete jungle while summer is unfolding recklessly about me. I get these mangoes from a nice lady from whom I also procure carabao (our native water buffalo) milk products.
The mangoes are ripening at different speeds, which is perfect for us as we don't have to worry about suddenly having to consume 10 mangoes at once. I have already tried some and I must say that these are some of the best mangoes I've ever tasted in my whole tropical Filipino life! Everything that makes the Philippine mango enchanting is infused in each bite – wickedly sweet, scandalously juicy, golden perfection. Straight from the fridge on a hot summer day, I am hard pressed to find something to top it.
These mangoes (from this particular farm in Zambales) will not last forever though. Their season may be over in a month, maybe less. I am thinking of buying a load and maybe freezing some...or maybe turning some into jam as I've done in the past. The mangoes high sugar content makes them perfect for jam (only if you can't have them straight from the fridge on a hot summer day - which is really the best way to have them).
I didn't make the mango jam used in this sandwich, nor was it made from Zambales mangoes. It was a gift from a friend and was delicious ("was" because I'm all out!). I paired it with carabao's milk kesong puti, our local fresh white cheese, and squashed everything in a whole wheat pan de sal set on a contact grill. A delicious summer breakfast! If you don't have a contact grill, just grill it on a skillet, pressing down on the sandwich until the cheese is nice and melty. If you don't have kesong puti, you can use any fresh white cheese. That being said, mango jam also pairs beautifully with gruyere, melted the same way.
Happy summer to my co-islanders! I must get back to my beach escape plotting...and I do think another mango is calling my name from the dining room...

Love how you describe our mangoes "wickedly sweet, scandalously juicy, golden perfection" I too feel our mangoes are superior than the others. I've tried mangoes from Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand but nothing compares to our very own.
Mango Jam and kesong puti sounds a good duo but having this for breakfast won't allow me to eat just one. I bet I'll end eating a whole basket of pandesal. - 9:45 PM
- P said...
i love this ode to mangga, joey. and it really made me miss summers in manila. on this particularly rainy, windy, chilly Toronto friday. (btw my vote goes to guimaras mangoes)
The hubby and I came back from a holiday in Brazil three weeks ago (we were in Rio for Carnaval), and I have to say, as a fellow ASEAN-er, that their mangoes give the ones we get here a run for their money... they really do! We gorged ourselves silly, eating over the sink, juice running down our faces and arms, bees coming for us... a perfect mango is the perfect summertime treat, and makes a superlative caipirinha!! And yes, we did fresh mango and gobs of requeijão (a gorgeous creamy Brazilian soft cheese) on toast for breakfast. Argh, just thinking about all this is making me heartily homesick for Brazil... :p - 10:18 PM
- Elyse said...
What an enticing picture! I adore mangoes, and your description makes me want them all the more!
- veron said...
Philippine mangoes are the best , IMO. The ones in the U.S. called champagne mangoes come from mexico I think and lack the intoxicating fragrance of the Philippine variety not to mention the flavor.
- chris @ tacosalad said...
Your lucky to have summer. It snowed here yesterday and it chilly and rainy today. This is all very odd weather as it should be warming up by now.
Anyway... Love the photo. Love mangoes. They are soooo very sweet and juicy. - 12:53 AM
- Sarah said...
Compelling description of your mangoes! I just bought a mango yesterday... not as beautiful and the ones that you described... but I'm tempted to try a version your sandwich!
- [eatingclub] vancouver || js said...
Oh how I miss Philippine mangoes! (And I love your description about how they're like women in Brazil LOL)
The imported mangoes here just ARE NOT the same. How I long for Philippine mangoes. . . - 2:23 AM

Mangoes may just be the perfect fruit.

Mangoes really are perfect. I'm sad to say we don't get them as good as yours here. I would probably swoon over if I actually ate one of your fresh ones!

Hi Anne! I love our mangoes and they inspire me to poetry, heehee :) Eating the whole basket...a common problem with pan de sal! Haha!
Hi P! Hay! I will write sonnets upon sonnets for this fruit! My doctor describes them as "worse than cake" hahaha! Which for me is a good thing! No lightweight these ;) Guimaras mangoes were also my favourite until I tried these...but hey, I'll spend my whole comparing if it were up to me! I will send you some heat in exchange for a bucket of snow I can use to cool my neck!
Hi Ling! Lucky lucky!!! Holiday in Brazil! And a mango caipirinha! That sounds divine!
Hi Elyse! They are my favourite fruit :)
Hi Veron! I have to agree that our mangoes are the yummiest :) Although I wouldn't mind setting up a barter for some fresh figs!
Hi Chris! Thanks :) Hmmm...we wouldn't mind a few cool breezes though...it's HOT!
Hi Sarah! Hope you like it! :)
Hi JS! Hope you get to visit and have some soon! :)
Hi Susan! I think so :)
Thanks Sharon, I'll have a look :)
Hi Pam! I'm sure you get all sorts of fruit though that we don't...like fresh berries!
Hey CP...will check it out :) - 5:08 PM
- Suzana said...
Mangoes travel so much to reach Europe that I always feel a bit guilty every time I don't resist and buy one... Perhaps I should be the one traveling South for a change!! ;)
This sounds like a perfect brekkie treat, specially if Summer has arrived. - 5:24 PM
- Helen said...
Oh wow! It is only just warming up here and you are making me long for summer. The best mangoes we get here are the alfonso mangoes which of course are not native to the UK and have to be imported. They are still delicious but I am very envious of you and your abundance of delicious mangoes. It sounds like tropical heaven.
- Rosa's Yummy Yums said...
That looks so gorgeous!
Thanks for your kind words...

And wow on that photo, truly a blissful treat! - 2:13 AM
- Marvin said...
All your talk about hot weather, mangoes, and carabao's milk has made me think of mango ice cream! I'll see about making some soon, but I doubt I'll fine anything close to your wonderful mangoes, joey!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Suzana! Yes! If you travel this way there are a lot of sweet tropical fruits waiting for you! :) I know what you mean though...I feel the same way when I see berries (like blueberries and raspberries) and rhubarb here!
Hi Helen! We each have our own blessings...there are also many wonderful fruits I can only dream of that cannot (yet!) grow in our hotter climate :)
Hi Rosa! Hope you are well...thanks and big hug!
Hi Jmom! Our mangoes are super sweet like we are ;)
Hi KitchenMaus! Thank you :)
Hi Marvin! And I don't have an ice cream maker so go figure! But I do hope you find some mangoes soon so I can see that ice cream get made! :) Can you get carabao's milk there? - 11:02 AM
- Jude said...
Hmm. I wonder what the equivalent of kesong puti would be in the states. The gruyere idea sounds great.
I've had those Zambales mangoes, and they're truly special! We were supposed to order again this year, but since we'll be out of town a lot, we were worried they'd ripen before we could eat them all.
Now you've made me regret not buying the mango jam I saw in Sagada the other day! I love mango jam, but a really good one isn't easy to find. So I chose to get the blueberry jam instead, since that area's better known for their berries than their mangoes. But that photo of yours is really making me crave...I'm going to the kitchen RIGHT NOW and see what I can do with what I have. Hmm...I wonder if the green mango jam I got from Bacolod and/or the Bohol Bee Farm mango spread, plus some cheddar will do the trick... - 2:21 PM
- Jescel said...
"asphalt sizzles".. you're so right about that.. but that sandwich melt sizzles as well. it looks soo good.. miss ko na ang mangga natin! and kesong puti - i love that!
- Zriz said...
What an apt description of the Pinas heatwave but since I live in a small city where the "asphalt still sizzles" I don't find it as hot as it is here in California (where I currently am).
And I agree when you say that each town claims to have the best of this and that, but it's a plus for the foodies!
Mango Jam and melted cheese looks uber yummy! i haven't tried them tho.... - 1:58 AM
- Caroline said...
My Brazilian hubby and I always end up reminiscing about our native mangoes every time we eat 'em. It's so true (like all the previous commenters stated) the mangoes here is US can never match Philippine mangoes. Sigh, you're making me miss them even more. Try to stay cool and hope you get to the beach soon.
- Erin said...
I think I'm in love! Brioche with crumbly ched and Major Grey's has always been a huge favorite of min and this sounds even better!
Great post as usual Joey! - 3:54 AM
- Midge said...
Philippine mangoes rule! I can't think of anything better to eat on any given summer day.
Oh, and I recently discovered this treat called jalea con mangga from a friend of my mom's. It is a richer, fruitier, more unctuous version of mango jam.
(And since you mentioned more lemony treats for the summer, may I suggest my lemon biscotti recipe [http://sybdive.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/dyi-biscotti-part-i-of-ii/] for the season?) - 10:27 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Jude! I don't know if it would have a direct substitute but any fresh white cheese would be good...on the other hands, cheese like gruyere are also heavenly melted in a panini with mango jam :)
Hi Katrina! I just got my second batch today! I split the box with my best friend and we should be able to liquidate the goodies since we will be in town for this holiday :) The blueberry jam sounds wonderful! I must visit Sagada already! The green mango jam also sounds good...how does it taste? So interesting! Nena has a really good source for mango jam :)
Hi Jescel! I love making panini-style sandwiches with kesong puti :) Hay naku...we really have to dress fresco and drink tons of water because it's so hot!
Hi Zriz! I'm thisclose to chucking some ice cubes down my back! Hehe :)
Hi Caroline! Me too! The city is too hot for comfort!
Hi Erin! Thanks! Chutney and cheese is also a favourite :)
Hi Midge! Yeah! That jalea sounds awesome! Is there any place that sells it? Will check out the lemon biscotti! - 12:10 PM
- ces said...
i've never tried this yet Joey!:) sounds and looks oh so perfect for the sizzling summer indeed:) and i miss our mangoes:( it's just not the same:( or is it PI i truly miss:( hey, thanks for stopping by!:)
- bee said...
that looks scrumptious. don't tell an indian about filipino mangoes. indians claim their mangoes - like alphonso - are the best. lol.

- Irene said...
I am so jealous! Mangoes are some of my favorite fruit and you sound like you live right in the perfect area for ultimate mango consumption! :D

looks yummy
- Manang said...
you just made me miss our mangoes more...the mangoes available here do not compare to what we have in the Philippines. Even my husband who initially refused mangoes changed his mind once he had a bite of the Philippine mangoes. Too bad we don't have access to those now.
I have not tried kesong puti...I should when I come to visit Philippiens. - 10:24 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Ces! The mangoes would definitely be one of the first things I'd miss if I were away! Hope you are doing well!
Hi Bee! Thanks for the tip...I won't! I think there will always be more than enough space in the world for fabulous mangoes, right? :) The more the merrier! And more for us to discover and enjoy! :)
Hi Irene! They are my favourite fruit too! The mangoes over here are truly fantastic in my humble opinion :)
Thanks Althea...will check it out :)
Thanks goodfor2 :)
Hi Manang! Omg! That ("manang") is what my younger brother calls me :) You should definitely try the kesong puti if you are here :) Gotta love our mangoes right? :) - 10:27 AM
- I love Fish! said...
The best mangoes in the Philippines are those from Guimaras! You should try them to see what I mean.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi I Love Fish...have tried Guimaras mangoes and they are definitely fantastic!
- RankPay said...
Philippine mangoes are the best! And to have it with kesong puti..is perfect.
- edelweiza said...
I've never tried this yummy mango combo for breakfast yet. It sounds very delicious! :)
- Food Jaunts said...
I'll be making the tartlet version of your recipe for a cookout tomorrow.
Unfortunately in the states we don't have kesong puti and I don't have time to make it :( so I'll be subbing in either queso blanco or buffalo milk mozzarella.
I'll post back to let you know how it turns out! - 10:00 PM

kse - kernel support for user threads
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/kse.h> int kse_create(struct kse_mailbox *mbx, int sys-scope); int kse_exit(void); int kse_release(struct timespec *timeout); int kse_switchin(struct kse_thr_mailbox *tmbx, int flags); int kse_thr_interrupt(struct kse_thr_mailbox *tmbx, int cmd, long data); int kse_wakeup(struct kse_mailbox *mbx);
These system calls implement kernel support for multi-threaded processes. Overview Traditionally, user threading has been implemented in one of two ways: either all threads are managed in user space and the kernel is unaware of any threading (also known as "N to 1"), or else separate processes sharing a common memory space are created for each thread (also known as "N to N"). These approaches have advantages and disadvantages: User threading Kernel threading + Lightweight - Heavyweight + User controls scheduling - Kernel controls scheduling - Syscalls must be wrapped + No syscall wrapping required - Cannot utilize multiple CPUs + Can utilize multiple CPUs The KSE system is a hybrid approach that achieves the advantages of both the user and kernel threading approaches. The underlying philosophy of the KSE system is to give kernel support for user threading without taking away any of the user threading library's ability to make scheduling decisions. A kernel-to-user upcall mechanism is used to pass control to the user threading library whenever a scheduling decision needs to be made. An arbitrarily number of user threads are multiplexed onto a fixed number of virtual CPUs supplied by the kernel. This can be thought of as an "N to M" threading scheme. Some general implications of this approach include: · The user process can run multiple threads simultaneously on multi- processor machines. The kernel grants the process virtual CPUs to schedule as it wishes; these may run concurrently on real CPUs. · All operations that block in the kernel become asynchronous, allowing the user process to schedule another thread when any thread blocks. Definitions KSE allows a user process to have multiple threads of execution in existence at the same time, some of which may be blocked in the kernel while others may be executing or blocked in user space. A kernel scheduling entity (KSE) is a "virtual CPU" granted to the process for the purpose of executing threads. A thread that is currently executing is always associated with exactly one KSE, whether executing in user space or in the kernel. The KSE is said to be assigned to the thread. KSEs (a user abstraction) are implemented on top of kernel threads using an 'upcall' entity. The KSE becomes unassigned, and the associated thread is suspended, when the KSE has an associated mailbox, (see below) the thread has an associated thread mailbox, (also see below) and any of the following occurs: · The thread invokes a system call that blocks. · The thread makes any other demand of the kernel that cannot be immediately satisfied, e.g., touches a page of memory that needs to be fetched from disk, causing a page fault. · Another thread that was previously blocked in the kernel completes its work in the kernel (or is interrupted) and becomes ready to return to user space, and the current thread is returning to user space. · A signal is delivered to the process, and this KSE is chosen to deliver it. In other words, as soon as there is a scheduling decision to be made, the KSE becomes unassigned, because the kernel does not presume to know how the process' other runnable threads should be scheduled. Unassigned KSEs always return to user space as soon as possible via the upcall mechanism (described below), allowing the user process to decide how that KSE should be utilized next. KSEs always complete as much work as possible in the kernel before becoming unassigned. Individual KSEs within a process are effectively indistinguishable, and any KSE in a process may be assigned by the kernel to any runnable (in the kernel) thread associated with that process. In practice, the kernel attempts to preserve the affinity between threads and actual CPUs to optimize cache behavior, but this is invisible to the user process. (Affinity is not yet fully implemented.) Each KSE has a unique KSE mailbox supplied by the user process. A mailbox consists of a control structure containing a pointer to an upcall function and a user stack. The KSE invokes this function whenever it becomes unassigned. The kernel updates this structure with information about threads that have become runnable and signals that have been delivered before each upcall. Upcalls may be temporarily blocked by the user thread scheduling code during critical sections. Each user thread has a unique thread mailbox as well. Threads are referred to using pointers to these mailboxes when communicating between the kernel and the user thread scheduler. Each KSE's mailbox contains a pointer to the mailbox of the user thread that the KSE is currently executing. This pointer is saved when the thread blocks in the kernel. Whenever a thread blocked in the kernel is ready to return to user space, it is added to the process's list of completed threads. This list is presented to the user code at the next upcall as a linked list of thread mailboxes. There is a kernel-imposed limit on the number of threads in a process that may be simultaneously blocked in the kernel (this number is not currently visible to the user). When this limit is reached, upcalls are blocked and no work is performed for the process until one of the threads completes (or a signal is received). Managing KSEs To become multi-threaded, a process must first invoke kse_create(). The kse_create() system call creates a new KSE (except for the very first invocation; see below). The KSE will be associated with the mailbox pointed to by mbx. If sys_scope is non-zero, then the new thread will be counted as a system scope thread. Other things must be done as well to make a system scope thread so this is not sufficient (yet). System scope variables are not covered in detail in this manual page yet, but briefly, they never perform upcalls and do not return to the user thread scheduler. Once launched they run autonomously. The pthreads library knows how to make system scope threads and users are encouraged to use the library interface. Each process initially has a single KSE executing a single user thread. Since the KSE does not have an associated mailbox, it must remain assigned to the thread and does not perform any upcalls. (It is by definition a system scope thread). The result is the traditional, unthreaded mode of operation. Therefore, as a special case, the first call to kse_create() by this initial thread with sys_scope equal to zero does not create a new KSE; instead, it simply associates the current KSE with the supplied KSE mailbox, and no immediate upcall results. However, an upcall will be triggered the next time the thread blocks and the required conditions are met. The kernel does not allow more KSEs to exist in a process than the number of physical CPUs in the system (this number is available as the sysctl(3) variable hw.ncpu). Having more KSEs than CPUs would not add any value to the user process, as the additional KSEs would just compete with each other for access to the real CPUs. Since the extra KSEs would always be side-lined, the result to the application would be exactly the same as having fewer KSEs. There may however be arbitrarily many user threads, and it is up to the user thread scheduler to handle mapping the application's user threads onto the available KSEs. The kse_exit() system call causes the KSE assigned to the currently running thread to be destroyed. If this KSE is the last one in the process, there must be no remaining threads associated with that process blocked in the kernel. This system call does not return unless there is an error. Calling kse_exit() from the last thread is the same as calling exit(). The kse_release() system call is used to "park" the KSE assigned to the currently running thread when it is not needed, e.g., when there are more available KSEs than runnable user threads. The thread converts to an upcall but does not get scheduled until there is a new reason to do so, e.g., a previously blocked thread becomes runnable, or the timeout expires. If successful, kse_release() does not return to the caller. The kse_switchin() system call can be used by the UTS, when it has selected a new thread, to switch to the context of that thread. The use of kse_switchin() is machine dependent. Some platforms do not need a system call to switch to a new context, while others require its use in particular cases. The kse_wakeup() system call is the opposite of kse_release(). It causes the (parked) KSE associated with the mailbox pointed to by mbx to be woken up, causing it to upcall. If the KSE has already woken up for another reason, this system call has no effect. The mbx argument may be NULL to specify "any KSE in the current process". The kse_thr_interrupt() system call is used to interrupt a currently blocked thread. The thread must either be blocked in the kernel or assigned to a KSE (i.e., executing). The thread is then marked as interrupted. As soon as the thread invokes an interruptible system call (or immediately for threads already blocked in one), the thread will be made runnable again, even though the kernel operation may not have completed. The effect on the interrupted system call is the same as if it had been interrupted by a signal; typically this means an error is returned with errno set to EINTR. Signals The current implementation creates a special signal thread. Kernel threads (KSEs) in a process mask all signals, and only the signal thread waits for signals to be delivered to the process, the signal thread is responsible for dispatching signals to user threads. A downside of this is that if a multiplexed thread calls the execve() syscall, its signal mask and pending signals may not be available in the kernel. They are stored in userland and the kernel does not know where to get them, however POSIX requires them to be restored and passed them to new process. Just setting the mask for the thread before calling execve() is only a close approximation to the problem as it does not re- deliver back to the kernel any pending signals that the old process may have blocked, and it allows a window in which new signals may be delivered to the process between the setting of the mask and the execve(). For now this problem has been solved by adding a special combined kse_thr_interrupt()/execve() mode to the kse_thr_interrupt() syscall. The kse_thr_interrupt() syscall has a sub command KSE_INTR_EXECVE, that allows it to accept a kse_execv_args structure, and allowing it to adjust the signals and then atomically convert into an execve() call. Additional pending signals and the correct signal mask can be passed to the kernel in this way. The thread library overrides the execve() syscall and translates it into kse_intr_interrupt() call, allowing a multiplexed thread to restore pending signals and the correct signal mask before doing the exec(). This solution to the problem may change. KSE Mailboxes Each KSE has a unique mailbox for user-kernel communication defined in Some of the fields there are: km_version describes the version of this structure and must be equal to KSE_VER_0. km_udata is an opaque pointer ignored by the kernel. km_func points to the KSE's upcall function; it will be invoked using km_stack, which must remain valid for the lifetime of the KSE. km_curthread always points to the thread that is currently assigned to this KSE if any, or NULL otherwise. This field is modified by both the kernel and the user process as follows. When km_curthread is not NULL, it is assumed to be pointing at the mailbox for the currently executing thread, and the KSE may be unassigned, e.g., if the thread blocks in the kernel. The kernel will then save the contents of km_curthread with the blocked thread, set km_curthread to NULL, and upcall to invoke km_func(). When km_curthread is NULL, the kernel will never perform any upcalls with this KSE; in other words, the KSE remains assigned to the thread even if it blocks. km_curthread must be NULL while the KSE is executing critical user thread scheduler code that would be disrupted by an intervening upcall; in particular, while km_func() itself is executing. Before invoking km_func() in any upcall, the kernel always sets km_curthread to NULL. Once the user thread scheduler has chosen a new thread to run, it should point km_curthread at the thread's mailbox, re- enabling upcalls, and then resume the thread. Note: modification of km_curthread by the user thread scheduler must be atomic with the loading of the context of the new thread, to avoid the situation where the thread context area may be modified by a blocking async operation, while there is still valid information to be read out of it. km_completed points to a linked list of user threads that have completed their work in the kernel since the last upcall. The user thread scheduler should put these threads back into its own runnable queue. Each thread in a process that completes a kernel operation (synchronous or asynchronous) that results in an upcall is guaranteed to be linked into exactly one KSE's km_completed list; which KSE in the group, however, is indeterminate. Furthermore, the completion will be reported in only one upcall. km_sigscaught contains the list of signals caught by this process since the previous upcall to any KSE in the process. As long as there exists one or more KSEs with an associated mailbox in the user process, signals are delivered this way rather than the traditional way. (This has not been implemented and may change.) km_timeofday is set by the kernel to the current system time before performing each upcall. km_flags may contain any of the following bits OR'ed together: KMF_NOUPCALL Block upcalls from happening. The thread is in some critical section. KMF_NOCOMPLETED, KMF_DONE, KMF_BOUND This thread should be considered to be permanently bound to its KSE, and treated much like a non-threaded process would be. It is a "long term" version of KMF_NOUPCALL in some ways. KMF_WAITSIGEVENT Implement characteristics needed for the signal delivery thread. Thread Mailboxes Each user thread must have associated with it a unique struct kse_thr_mailbox as defined in It includes the following fields. tm_udata is an opaque pointer ignored by the kernel. tm_context stores the context for the thread when the thread is blocked in user space. This field is also updated by the kernel before a completed thread is returned to the user thread scheduler via km_completed. tm_next links the km_completed threads together when returned by the kernel with an upcall. The end of the list is marked with a NULL pointer. tm_uticks and tm_sticks are time counters for user mode and kernel mode execution, respectively. These counters count ticks of the statistics clock (see clocks(7)). While any thread is actively executing in the kernel, the corresponding tm_sticks counter is incremented. While any KSE is executing in user space and that KSE's km_curthread pointer is not equal to NULL, the corresponding tm_uticks counter is incremented. tm_flags may contain any of the following bits OR'ed together: TMF_NOUPCALL Similar to KMF_NOUPCALL. This flag inhibits upcalling for critical sections. Some architectures require this to be in one place and some in the other.
The kse_create(), kse_wakeup(), and kse_thr_interrupt() system calls return zero if successful. The kse_exit() and kse_release() system calls do not return if successful. All of these system calls return a non-zero error code in case of an error.
The kse_create() system call will fail if: [ENXIO] There are already as many KSEs in the process as hardware processors. [EAGAIN] The user is not the super user, and the soft resource limit corresponding to the resource argument RLIMIT_NPROC would be exceeded (see getrlimit(2)). [EFAULT] The mbx argument points to an address which is not a valid part of the process address space. The kse_exit() system call will fail if: [EDEADLK] The current KSE is the last in its process and there are still one or more threads associated with the process blocked in the kernel. [ESRCH] The current KSE has no associated mailbox, i.e., the process is operating in traditional, unthreaded mode (in this case use _exit(2) to exit the process). The kse_release() system call will fail if: [ESRCH] The current KSE has no associated mailbox, i.e., the process is operating is traditional, unthreaded mode. The kse_wakeup() system call will fail if: [ESRCH] The mbx argument is not NULL and the mailbox pointed to by mbx is not associated with any KSE in the process. [ESRCH] The mbx argument is NULL and the current KSE has no associated mailbox, i.e., the process is operating in traditional, unthreaded mode. The kse_thr_interrupt() system call will fail if: [ESRCH] The thread corresponding to tmbx is neither currently assigned to any KSE in the process nor blocked in the kernel.

Talented Czech rider Karel Hanika continued his winning ways in Round 13 of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup at Aragon, Spain on Saturday. Already declared the title winner in the last round, Hanika took another decisive victory in the penultimate round of the competition. Dutch rider Scott Deroue was second and Stefano Manzi of Italy took the minor podium place.
It was Karel Hanika's seventh win in the 2013 series but although an impressive ride it was only in the final stages of the race did he pull away from Deroue and Manzi. Hanika said it had been a hard race and admitted he had experienced some difficulties changing down through the gears, a problem he speculated may have been caused through a crash in Friday's practice.
He was also helped when Spanish rider Marcos Ramirez slide off the track in the final stages. Although he scrambled back into the race, his untimely exit gave Hanika enough time to distance himself from his other two challengers. The fall of the Spanish rider had also intervened on Deroue's ambitions to challenge Hanika in the final stages.
Manzi, the 14-year-old Italian had a great race. He had qualified back at tenth position but rode strongly to advance up to the front group. But while Hanika rode over the line with a comfortable lead, Joan Mir of Spain and South African Darryn Binder were also both podium contenders going into the final lap.
Riders contest the final race in the 2013 series on Sunday at the Aragon circuit, due to start at 15:30 CET. It can be viewed on www.redbull.tv.

When kids anticipate "going to the doctor," many become worried and apprehensive about the visit. Whether they're going to see their primary care doctor or a specialist — and whether for a routine exam, illness, or special problem — kids are likely to have fears, and some may even feel guilty.
Some fears and guilty feelings surface easily, so that kids can talk about them. Others are harbored secretly and remain unspoken. You can help your child express these fears and overcome them.
Things that often top kids' lists of concerns about going to the doctor include:
In addition, kids often harbor feelings of guilt: They may believe that their illness or condition is punishment for something they've done or neglected to do. Kids who feel guilty may also believe that examinations and medical procedures are part of their punishment.
You can help by encouraging your kids to express their fears and by addressing them in words that they understand and aren't likely to misinterpret. Here are some practical ways to do this:
If the upcoming appointment is for a regular health checkup, explain that it's "a well-child visit. The doctor will check on how you're growing and developing, and also ask questions and examine you to make sure that your body is healthy. And you'll get a chance to ask any questions you want to about your body and your health." Also, stress that all healthy kids go to the doctor for such visits.
If the visit is to diagnose and treat an illness or other condition, explain — in very nonthreatening language — that the doctor "needs to examine you to find out how to fix this and help you get better."
It's a good idea to prepare kids by giving them advance notice of the visit and thus not a complete surprise. When explaining the purpose of the visit, talking about the doctor in a positive way also helps to promote the relationship between your child and the doctor.
A child who is going to the doctor because of an illness or other condition might have unspoken feelings of guilt about it. Discuss the illness or condition in neutral language and reassure your child: "This isn't caused by anything you did or forgot to do. Illnesses like this happen to many kids. Aren't we lucky to have doctors who can find the causes and who know how to help us get well?"
If you, your spouse, other relatives, or friends had (or have) the same condition, share this information. Knowing that you and many others have been through the same thing may help relieve your child's guilt and fear.
If your child needs a doctor's attention because of a condition that resulted in ridicule or rejection by other kids (or even by adults), you'll need to double your efforts to relieve shame and blame. Head lice, embarrassing scratching caused by pinworm, and involuntary daytime wetting or bedwetting are examples of conditions that are often misunderstood by others.
Even if you've been very supportive, you should reassure your child again, before the visit to the doctor, that the condition is not his or her fault and that many kids have had it.
Of course, if your child has suffered an injury after disregarding safety rules, it's wise to point out (as matter-of-factly as possible) the cause-and-effect relationship between the action and the injury. However, you should still try to relieve guilt. You could say, "You probably didn't understand the danger involved in doing that, but I'm sure you understand now, and I know you won't do it that way again."
If your child repeatedly disobeys rules and becomes injured, speak to your doctor. This sort of worrisome behavior pattern needs a closer look.
In any of these cases, though, be sure to explain, especially to young kids, that going to the doctor for an examination is not a punishment. Be sure your kids understand that adults go to doctors just like kids do and that the doctor's job is to help people stay healthy and fix any problems.
Children learn best during play, and this may be a time when they feel most comfortable asking any questions regarding fears they may have. You can use a doll or teddy bear to show a young child how the nurse will measure height and weight or demonstrate parts of the routine exam.
Many children's books are available to help illustrate the doctor visit. You can offer opportunities for experiential play in simulated hospitals or doctor's offices at home, in the classroom at school, or at some children's museums.
It also helps to use role-playing to show how the doctor might:
It's important for parents to let their kids know that what they've taught them about the privacy of their bodies is still true, but that doctors, nurses, and parents must sometimes examine all parts of the body. Emphasize, though, that these people are the only exceptions. And reassure your child that you will be in the exam room with him or her.
If your child is going to the doctor because of an illness or medical condition or is going to visit a specialist, you may not even know what to expect during the examination.
When you're calling to make the appointment, you can ask to speak to the doctor or a nurse to find out, in a general way, what will take place during the office visit and exam. Then you can explain some of the procedures and their purpose in gentle language, appropriate to your child's age level. Your child will feel more secure understanding what's going to take place and why it's necessary.
Be honest, but not brutally honest. Let your child know if a procedure is going to be somewhat embarrassing, uncomfortable, or even painful, but don't go into alarming detail.
Reassure your child that you'll be there and that the procedure is truly necessary to fix — or find out how to fix — the problem. (Adolescents may prefer to be examined without a parent or with only a same-sex parent or same-sex chaperone present. That preference should be honored.)
Kids can cope with discomfort or pain more easily if they're forewarned, and they'll learn to trust you if you're honest with them.
If you don't know much about the illness or condition, admit that but reassure your child that you'll both be able to ask the doctor questions about it. Write down your child's questions.
If a blood sample will be taken during or after the examination, be careful how you explain this. Some young kids worry that "taking blood" means that all their blood will be taken. Let your child know that the body contains a great deal of blood and that only a very little bit of it (usually no more than 1 or 2 teaspoons [about 10 milliliters]) will be taken for testing.
Again, make certain that your child understands that the visit, with its embarrassing or uncomfortable procedures, is not a punishment for any misbehavior or disobedience.
Because your doctor is your best ally in helping your kids cope with health examinations, it's important to carefully select a doctor. Of course, you want one who's knowledgeable and competent. However, you also want a doctor who understands kids' needs and fears and who communicates easily with them, in a friendly manner and without talking down to them.
In the course of a physical exam, the doctor inspects, taps, and probes various parts of the body — procedures that may be embarrassing (or even physically uncomfortable) for kids. A good rapport between doctor and patient can minimize these feelings.
If your child's doctor seems critical, uncommunicative, disinterested, or unsympathetic, do not be afraid to change doctors. Ask for recommendations from other parents in your area or from other doctors whose opinions you trust.
If your child's illness or condition requires a specialist, ask your doctor to recommend someone who's knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly.
After all, adults want these characteristics in their own physicians, so as a parent you should serve as your child's advocate in seeking medical care.

I'll give you a better example.
My mom doesn't have a computer.
She wants me to look up an article or recipe or something and print out a hard copy for her.
The site has 2/3rds ads, like Phoronix does, and I don't want to triple my ink usage to print out a chicken recipe or something.
I turn adblock on and reload the page so I use about a third of the ink, which is more expensive per ounce than Russian caviar.
Have I "stolen" from or "harmed" the site? If so, is it to an unreasonable degree considering ink is more expensive than Russian caviar?
I suppose you could print to PDF, open it in LibreOffice, meticulously fix the formatting problems and sanitize it of ads, and then send it to your printer.
You could also make coffee by building a greenhouse, planting seeds, waiting for the plant to mature, removing the seed pods one at a time, roasting them, grinding them yourself, and then preparing the beverage from there.
Why would anyone who cares about money print things with ink? If you print so much that ink costs matter, get a laser.
Back on topic, one of the Reddit posters mentioned something I didn't even notice.
Wladimir Palant unblocked Sedo in his "ignore the user and sneak ads in through the back door" list.
Sedo runs parking pages and typosquatting sites. Can't have them going under can we?
I wonder how much he made off of those parasites in exchange for whitelisting them.
