Who's actually updating to 1.51 since the last special note has been released by paradox? I'm not sure if it's just me being paranoid or not but I still feel unsure about upgrading since I've been on 1.32 for so long.
Who's actually updating to 1.51 since the last special note has been released by paradox? I'm not sure if it's just me being paranoid or not but I still feel unsure about upgrading since I've been on 1.32 for so long.
Haha upgrade to 1.5 and stay at that, and then it's really psp all over again. I am staying at 1.32 until further notice. I don't doubt them, but I don't plan on doing much more with ps3 until the loader is out. What's a few more weeks gonna hurt if the loaders coming out very soon they're saying.
straight from the NFO.
I still have 1.00 on mine, until a non-vaporware version of the loader comes out Its not going any higher.
If you upgrade past 1.32 its your own fault :-D.
Agreed 100% PDX specifically warned me when this was released that although you can update past 1.32 (to 1.50/1.51) it's NOT recommended because with each update you are more and more limited/restricted on what you'll be able to do in the future.
Just as an example, they may have found in 1.51 that it blocks the hole used for their Loader, but found another hole which can be used to downgrade a 1.51 to 1.32. This is just a hypothetical example illustrating how 1.51 users wouldn't be 'screwed' but they would not be as 'safe' as a 1.32 user. By safe, I mean if a 1.32 Loader surfaces they may have to wait until a downgrader that doesn't make $600 bricks comes along to use it.
I updated to 1.51. If I have to wait a little longer for a compatible loader then I will. If I have to wait for a downgrader then I will. Although there may be "More" holes in 1.32, PDX said that 1.51 didnt stop them which means that as of this moment they have a working way to get the loader running. Im fairly certain that if PDX could not get it to work properly they would have told us not to upgrade.
There is always a risk, but then again what isnt when your hacking the PS3?
I guess I might have misinterpreted when I read that we could update to 1.51 "without worry". It seems I have reason to worry now.
Well, the worry is just like BlueWizard said... there is still a way with 1.50/1.51, it just may take longer (the "fewer holes" part). On the other hand, it may not... only PDX knows for sure! It would be cool if someone else got a PS3 TIFF type exploit working as well though, this way there would be an even greater chance of rapid progress.
Thanks for the reply PS3News, the whole point of me starting this thread was so it could've eventually gotten to you lol.

So what's the scinerio that we need to clinch the playoffs today with a giants win
All we have to do is win out and we're in. Thank the schedule makers for a Dallas vs. Washington week 17 game. One of them have to lose that game. And if both win today and they tie next week and we win out we get the division.
While it doesn't look good for us getting the division at this point. All we need to do is win these last 2 games so we can get in the dance.

It's almost show time. When the Super Bowl kicks off on Sunday, 40-plus advertisers will be hoping to win over the more than 110 million viewers tuning in. After paying $4.5 million for a 30-second spot, advertisers are hoping to have the ad everyone will be talking about Monday morning.
Here are some scary thoughts for the rest of the NFL: A win Sunday will stamp the Seahawks as one of the best teams of the Super Bowl era. And, given Seattle's makeup and philosophy, the future for the franchise might be brighter than for any other...
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Sunday said being gay is akin to choosing to drink alcohol or use profanity — lifestyle choices he says are appealing to others but not to him.

Pastor's Column: God's grace, laws not the same
Galatians 3:23-25Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed. Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.I've been studying a lot lately through the book of Galatians. I believe that Paul was teaching the Galatians not to mix Law and Grace because they had been doing so. They wanted to receive all of the goodness and the blessings of Jesus, but yet they believed that they had to perform to a certain standard in order to receive those blessings and the goodness of Jesus. Many people call this today, "balancing." But in reality, this isn't a balance. It is a mixture and mixture in this instance is not good. This Scripture teaches us that the law was our guardian or teacher. The law is like a mirror and shows us our need for forgiveness -- our need for the Savior. But because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, we are no longer under the law, but rather grace.Grace is the undeserved, unmerited and unearned favor of God -- and the moment you try to merit the free favors of God, His Grace is nullified. Mark 2:22 says "and no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into new wineskins."What was Jesus referring to when he shared on the new wine and old wineskins? He was referring to the mixture of the two covenants. The new wine represents the new covenant of grace, while the wineskin represents the old covenant of law. Have you seen or heard wineskins before? They are brittle, hard and inflexible. That's the law. It is inflexible. And when you pour the new wine of grace into the old wineskin of the law, you will lose both because the wineskin will be ruined and the wine will be spilled. The virtues of the old and the new covenants will be canceled out and lost.Don't mix Law and Grace. When you put yourself completely under the law, you will find that the law will be your guardian or your tutor to bring you to the end of yourself. When you finally acknowledge that you cannot save yourself, you will turn to the Savior and His grace will fill your heart. You see, when you think that you can, His hands are tied and He cannot. But when you know that you cannot, that's when He can! You have heard the hymn, Amazing Grace? That my friends, is what makes grace so amazing!

Thank you! I tried to choose something that is definitely Canadian (though in my research I learned they also grow in the colder climes of Europe) without being obviously Canadian in a way that requires an explanation.
Re: Canadian Periodic Table
there's so many other elements you could add, i wish you could have made the entire table....but i imagine it'd be pretty hard to come up with that many references(even as a fellow Cananuk I can't think of that many unless you add in all the different kinds of Canadian beer) great idea btw! ;-)

carina83 wrote:wow, very beautiful. I also like to see the changing of the leaves. I am not sure about the black sure, but you got my vote.
It's funny... this started as a brown shirt, not black. The leaves that are now brown were navy in color. I couldn't get it to really look like a unified leaf, though, so I changed the leaves at the bottom to brown and then I changed the shirt to navy. That made the "big leaf" look fine but now the shirt wasn't as warm and also the birds weren't standing out so much... so I tried again with black. That seemed to be the best color combination. I kinda wish Woot had more shirt colors, though, as a warm, dark grey would be perfect (their grey's cool and lighter). Anyway... thanks so much for the vote. Here's hoping it gets made. :-)
2thFairy wrote:Does Mike Honcho approve of this one? heh
Mike Honcho extends tepid support for this shirt. While Mike Honcho likes it, it was done by Mike Honcho after all, Mike Honcho recognizes that there are much better offerings for this derby than Mike Honcho can provide.
Re: The Time Has Come, Eh?
I would say that I might like this if instead of bombs and such, it were planes delivering woot shirts...but that would get rejected for being woot-related.

Re: Maple Leaves
Awsome shirt.
Re: National Flag of Canada
This is the National flag of Canada. The maple leaf has been used since the early days of Canada to symbolize the land and it's people. The maple leaf was first proposed to be the emblem of Canada in 1834. The maple leaf was for many years the symbol of the Canadian Armed Forces and was used by Canada in both world wars. The maple leaf wasn't used on the Canadian flag until 1965. The maple leaf is fun to draw! Red and white were approved as Canada's official colors in 1921. Enjoy!

Canterbury Road,
Herne Bay,
Curtis Wood Park is an informal area of protected open space situated on the outskirts of Herne, Kent. The site provides local residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy a variety of semi-natural habitats in a relaxed and pleasant setting that also provides a valuable sanctuary for wildlife. Recognition of the sites value to widlife is demonstrated by the woodland and part of the meadow area being designated a Local Nature Reserve. The site also won a Green Flag award this year, a scheme which recognises the best green spaces in the country.
The large meadow is left to grow long throughout the spring and summer, allowing butterflies and other insects to thrive and wildflowers to grow. The wood is comprised of mainly oak, ash and hawthorn and in the springtime the woodland floor is carpeted in spectacular displays of bluebells and wood anenomes, which make the most of the sunlight before the leaf canopy closes over. Additionally, both greater butterfly and early purple orchids also grow within the woodland. The presence of small areas of scrub as well as a large pond provide further variety in terms of habitat for a range of other animals.
A short route within the woodland is waymarked and interpretation panels have been installed whilst further improvements to existing access routes are also planned. The site is easily accessible by use of public transport whilst two Public Rights of Way that pass through the site provide an important connection out into the wider countryside including the Blean National Nature Reserve.
Free entry
Follow the A291 Canterbury Road to the woodland which is located between Cutris Wood Road and Curtis Wood Park Road, on the outskitrs of Herne Village.

Fly Fishing plays alot of roles in my life. At times it's my nemesis, other times my friend, sometimes my hobby, and even an addiction. There is never a dull moment. Just when you think that you have gotten skunked for the last time and you are going to put that gear away never to touch it again. A day like this past Saturday comes around!
I was having trouble falling asleep Friday night. My faith and will amongst many other things have recently been tried and tested to extreme measures. So here it was 4:00 am and I was wide awake after only getting about 4 hours of sleep. So, I started to gather my Fly Fishing Gear and made up my mind that the San Gabriel River would be my destination. After about an hour of cleaning out my fly boxes and a short Trout Unlimited video, I could not take sitting around anymore and off I went.
I arrived at the San Gabriel at about 5:45 am after a quick stop for a Mc Donalds ice coffee. The sun was coming up over the ridge and the birds were in beautiful harmony. I drove down to East Fork when all of the sudden 3 Coyote pups were running in front of car scared beyond measure and not knowing which way to turn.
After this got my adrenaline pumping and about 4 more coyotes running across the road. I was ready to step into the brisk air and let my fly hit the water. I tied on a Stimulator with a copper John Dropper and away I went. I hit the first pool and with the first cast, first Rainbow caught. I fished that hole for about 15 minutes and was pleasantly surprised to pull out about 15 more fish. Moving on I fished a few more pools with a few more caught and it was time to drive over to the North Fork.
I arrived at the North Fork with not another sole in sight (which if you have been there this time of year is amazing). The fish seemed to be a little bigger and hit with more reckless abandon than normal. All in all, quite a few more fish caught and this was turning out to be quite an amazing day. As the day started to heat up the hatches and the terrestrials started coming out, and so did all of the people wanting to walk there dogs right into my fishing hole. That was my que to head over to the West Fork and hike back away from the crazies.
The West Fork was beautiful as always, and I was astonished to see fish rising so close to the entrance of the trail. Since the DFG has stopped stocking the stream, the wild fish seem to have come out in full force and what a blessing that is. I made it back a mile of so and began to wade into the cold stream with my Teva Sandals enjoying the water as it helped to take some of the heat off. I could not believe how many fish I hooked, and how many I missed for that matter. I literally lost count after catching my 50th fish of the day. Days like that just don't come around that often especially in Southern California, and so what did I do? I decided to go for it all and tied on a giant size 10 Stimulator just to see what was really in that water, and if I could get it to rise.
Oh my, and rise it did! With a giant plash a huge Wild Bow came ripping out of the water and the fight was on. I was using my little Eagle Claw 3 Weight which feels more like a 0 weight and this fish was testing it hard. Just when I though I had it landed the fish, back into the current it went. When it was all over the fish was about 14-15 inches and the girth on it made it the biggest Wild Rainbow Trout I had ever caught on the San Gabriel River!
So don't ever quit this beautiful sport, because "You never know when that skunk will turn into one amazing fish"!

Nice fish!!!! Too bad the day had to end!! Glad to know that the West Fork is open again!!! Will have to head up real soon!!
Tight Lines!! -
What and amazing day you had. Sometimes things work out that way.
You mentioned an Eagle Claw outfit, what reel did you end up using? I like the rod, but I can't find something cheap to add to it.
Sorry about the double post, when I went to the comments from home it didn't show my comments
I'm a big fan of the blog and have been following for a while, hope you don't take offense! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your great SG river posts! This one encouraged me to explore the river a little more. After a few days of bushwhacking, slipping all over the place, and repeatedly popping my bike's tires on thorns, I've found some stretches that produced multiple solid 10″-12″ wild bows! Not quite as big as your monster above though… I'm still searching for that!

Approaching Data with a Beginner's Mind
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few.
- Shunryu Suzuki
Recently, I was asked for my opinion on a project in which a UX team was trying to represent complex relationships using a specific type of data visualization. I asked whether that type of visualization was the best way to represent the relationships, and why that particular approach had been chosen. The answer: a designer "liked it." Perhaps not enough foundational thinking had gone into what they were trying to accomplish. I believe UX practitioners, and the growing variety of users working with these kinds of visualizations, need to consider and ask fundamental questions about the full process that determines what data gets collected, stored, processed, and ultimately displayed. Otherwise, they become part of the problem of misinterpreting data rather helping to make it clearer and more meaningful. Sometimes the simplest questions are the most important to ask, especially when designing visualizations for complex data sets.
The Japanese term shoshin, or "beginner's mind," describes the mindset of a novice—full of openness, enthusiasm, and fresh perspectives in learning something new. This approach and attitude can help someone who might have a lot of knowledge about a subject, but might be stuck in a cognitive rut. Both expert and novice alike can make important contributions to problem solving and innovation. Beginner's minds can help make breakthroughs with the help of collaborative data sharing and visualizations. If there is rigidity and unwarranted certainty as we work with data, we may miss key patterns hiding in plain sight. On the other hand, rigor and expertise are necessary to help guide and validate our understanding of what we are looking at. Ideally, we can find optimal combinations of these perspectives. The visualization tools will need to be able to enhance this balance rather than feeding into and reinforcing preconceptions and biases.
Some Beginner's Questions
Is something important because you measure it, or is it measured because it's important?
- Seth Godin
Here are a few types of questions of various kinds of people who work with data, and those who design visualization displays, might consider for each stage of the basic data lifecycle:
- Collection: Why might you want to collect data about something and are you sure you know what you really need? How wide a net should you, and can you, cast? For this net, how fine or coarse should you make the filtering mesh?
- Storage: How are the data stored? Boxes of papers? Computer files? What are the file formats? Are they cleaned or preprocessed before storage? How are they organized, indexed, and arranged?
- Analysis: How much processing do the data undergo? How are they summarized (statistically) and modified? There can be extensive processing with many different outputs or just a superficial perspective with a few simple pie charts or bar graphs showing seasonal sales changes.
- Visualization: How are the charts displayed, formatted, and presented in the context of the full interface? Are the content and format a good match?
Thinking about these kinds of questions, even at the most basic levels, is essential for designing the right tools for the job and making good judgments about the quality of the supporting data.
Data at the Seams
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
- Yogi Berra
As a broader range of people acquire tools that allow them to directly and effectively engage with data, or at least get a better sense of what's out there, opportunities for important insights and innovations increase. This opening up enables new intersections to form between areas of knowledge that have long been walled-off and ostensibly unrelated.
Flip Kromer, co-founder of the data marketplace Infochimps, describes this as "data at the seams—a new dataset that arises from the tectonic collision of different disciplines." Just as geologic plates bump against each other to generate new landmasses (along with earthquakes and tsunamis), so too the overlaps and collisions of data sets will inevitably produce new insights as well as shake seemingly immovable views of the world. "We see a spectrum where people are looking to leverage data outside their own fields such as sociology, biology, and public health." However, there's much work to be done on the human interaction and social commodity side of this process. Kromer believes, "It's appalling how few peer-reviewed research papers provide the data behind their results in any discoverable and usable form. We're looking to work with journals, and directly with researchers, to improve this."
The shifts in perspectives derived from data mashups could apply to everything from the Big Bang to baseball. For example, Kromer says, "Every pitch takes place in a stadium, every stadium (via some openly-available KML files) has a geolocation, and that means you can smash it against the global hourly weather data." Now we can ask, "What is the change in performance for pitchers over 40 years old when the temperature exceeds 80F and it is overcast?"
Here's an example of sources for answering that kind of question:
The MLB Game Day data (the pitch-by-pitch trajectory)
Excerpt of Retrosheet instructions
A chart of New York City weather in 2003
Major league baseball produces a dataset giving the trajectory of every pitch, with full game state, for every major-league game of the past several years.
The Visible Citizen
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
- Thomas Jefferson
The idea of "beginners mind" could be applied to communities as well. As expanding open source communities and simple visualization tools allow more people to engage with the "social commodity" of data, the interactions between various levels of society will change. While this may seem like a boon to some and deeply disquieting to others, one thing is certain: it will inevitably invite some rethinking of civic involvement. For example, a city manager might think that a citizenry with the ability to flag problems such as potholes and inoperative fire hydrants would make the number of service calls explode, straining resources and busting already tight budgets. That's an understandable concern, but it does not take into account a dynamic of human nature that might work for the city manager's benefit. Jennifer Pahlka of Code for America, a non-profit that works with city managers to help them identify projects that can benefit from new technologies and civic engagement, says, "A core part of the program is trying to really understand and help address the pain points of the city managers and the data that can help take the burden off of them…transparency has often been viewed as a 'gotcha,' but it can be turned into a problem solving tool."
Sometimes, just having a sense that your voice is heard and that your concerns are somehow made visible and will eventually be addressed, can go a long way to helping the situation. Haven't we all experienced that feeling at some time? By using emerging tools such as Code for America's Open311 Dashboard that allows citizens to submit data that can be visualized about local, non-emergency issues, the conversation between citizens and local officials can actually improve for all parties and not be a zero-sum game of frustration and avoidance. As data-capture devices, open APIs, and visualizations become more standardized, the exchange of data and its role as a "social commodity" will inevitably grow. In addition to improving transparency and efficiency, Michael Evans, a CfA fellow and project lead for the Open311 Dashboard, wants to visualize and analyze 311 data to set expectations between city managers and citizens.
The more we can approach data with open minds and fresh eyes, the better. That said, it can be very difficult and often pointless to make sense of data without any supporting framework for analysis. The challenges presented by big, complex data are often going to require collaboration, and in these assemblies of people's skills and talents we're also going to have a spectrum of beginners. Someone might be a top-flight molecular biologist, but may not have very deep data science skills. Or perhaps they have those, but their communications skills need polishing. The key is to engage and ask even occasionally "obvious" questions. When it comes to working with data, we are all "experts" and "beginners" at something and can all bring something useful to the table. Effective visualizations based upon solid UXD practices can help make this possible.

Fab article. I can't find "Code for America's Open311 Dashboard" on their site. Far to go still on making the creation and updating of community DB sets accessible. Any additional resources on that front are appreciated!
Hi Hunter,
We just did an interview with Noah Iliinsky on how a UX mentality improves design choices for data visualization. It's actually so intuitive that you wonder why anyone wouldn't make context of use the first priority when creating a data-viz.
Your article is interesting but also shows you take a beginners approach. You seem to ignore that "information visualization" is a defined discipline in itself. There are many places for a non-practioner to learn about visualizing data from Tufte to Few and more. Yet you seem to ignore all that research and instead quote marketers instead. Are you sure you're giving the best advice? I agree with much of what you said, but can't help but feel you reached the right conclusions for all the wrong reasons.
Hey Hunter,
Great article about the curse of knowledge. Thank you.
I always tell my clients to leverage my ignorance. Kidding aside, it is a distinct, learn-able
skill to be able to come into a new domain and ask the right kinds of open ended questions.
IMHO, that is why the best interaction designers are brilliant at inbound marketing.

Defining and handling big data
Tuesday - 11/13/2012, 11:17pm EST
Jon Bakke & Rick Miller, MarkLogic
November 13, 2012 -- The term "big data" is bandied about in many federal IT circles.
Many companies dust off their existing offerings and simply re-brand them tools for handling large data sets.
MarkLogic is one of the few companies who have over a decade of experience in handling sets of data that are so large standard tools can't handle them.
Today's interview is with two professionals from MarkLogic: Jon Bakke, vice president Worldwide Consulting and Rick Miller, director of Federal, State, and Local Sales.
They give a balanced presentation of how MarkLogic defines big data and how their company can provide assistance to federal IT professionals who are challenged in integrating widely diverging sets of data.
During the interview you will learn of several agencies, like the Federal Aviation Administration, who have taken advantage of MarkLogic's server in handling data sets that consist of petabytes of information.
