this is his site, but it gives no indication of what he was in for: http://michaelsantos.com/about/ But 25 years must have meant something serious. He looks like he's been busy since he got out anyway. eta: nvm, it was non violent drug charges: A close friend of mine, whom I will call Alex, was involved in the distribution of small amounts of cocaine. Because of my position in my family's firm, I had access to large sums of money. I chose to use some of that money--without my parent's knowledge-to join my friend Alex's scheme by financing a large cocaine purchase. We purchased three kilograms of cocaine for the purposes of reselling them to realize a profit. The transaction lasted about twelve hours, and after replacing the money I had inappropriately taken from my family's firm, Alex and I split a profit of $4O,OOO.
i love your cat
hah it was just a joke!
I just got to the rabbit. How does a ball even move like that? Tell me that.
I know it's important to know and it's major news, but it just really bums me out and really gets to me. My mother was telling me that we used to have a vegetable truck that would deliver vegetables to our estate. The owner one day said he had no mushrooms, only old ones, and told him that they were fine and were perfect for mushroom soup or sauce. He had just been throwing the old ones away the whole time. I think if people had better knowledge of how to use what they have and the point where something isn't edible anymore (rather than the really safe supermarket suggested dates), we could save so much.
I actually can't read more than the summary of this, it makes me really furious.
booo jess (peter)
Burgers, pizza, anything trashy and simple and satiating like that.
I had shrimp and gnocchi for dinner today. Delicious. I love gnocchi, but every attempt to make it myself has been shit.
please scopies, i was here first ps: boooo
no, I was just really bummed by it when I read the summary earlier on the Guardian.
there;s something about it. it's not a good drawing but it is good at the same time. a bit like david shrigley or something
That DMCA tweet is surely just for attention
I think they were conned, they're probably not the most critical thinking people in the world, but they didn't deserve it, and I feel really bad for their kids (and all the children affected by this) too.
- Martha Ramos, wife and mother who traveled with her husband and children from North Carolina, said, “We put everything we had into Camping’s organization. We sold our house, quit our jobs and gave away our beloved family pets because we truly believed what Harold Camping was saying. We believed everything he said and spent every single penny to help with the expense of billboards and radio programs. Now we have nothing. We have no home, no job – nothing! And all for a false prophet. This has happened to thousands of families and individuals all over America. We’re heartbroken and really don’t know what to do now.”

Brian Cox on the BBC does something similar and has energised the public spread of science. There's a rare breed where scientific prowess, the ability to teach others, and being able to connect to the public combine, and they're way more valuable than we imagine.
What equipment do you have for specialised astrophotography?
I should really click through to these pages though. Is this yours? It's beautiful. You're really lucky to have seen the aurora like that, I've been trying to catch it recently with the latest solar flares, but every time it's occurring the weather has been too bad or it hasn't come far enough south.
I'm skeptical of it because it looks like an African landscape but you can see the aurora borealis (unless it's Australian). Also, I've never seen a shooting star :(
The Windows phone I used is quite nice, but I didn't like the scrolling down through items too much on the home screen. That said my phone cost £10 and is terrible to use so I'd swap it for any other phone if I could.

(yes I back up, thank you Time Machine for making it simple), but I can't work on a hard drive). A bit of a boring answer, but I'd be fooked without it. I like your couch by the way.
