Type O or Type Zero blood type?
Hi all. Came across this video on YouTube the other day discussing what the blood type terminology is. Is it type O or is it type zero? Have a look for yourself.
As you saw in the video, the correct term is type zero. Well done HotForWords.

Plane crashes on landing at Adelaide Airport, South Australia
Adelaide, South Australia – Saturday 27th September 2008
In front of about a thousand spectators, the King Air B200 Twin Engine Corporate Charter VH-URU on a charter flight from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island crash landed on Runway 30 (South East to North West runway). No-one was injured with passengers praising the work of the pilot.
The large crowd was at the airport to see the new Qantas A380 Airbus arrive for the first time at Adelaide and where treated to a perfectly executed crash landing of the twin engine King Air.
It circled the airport for some 30 minutes to burn of fuel before doing a low level pass along the runway to steady in the gusty winds before landing on its belly skidding to a very quick stop.
The video shows the approach and crash followed by the passengers escaping and emergency services quickly approaching. Sorry for the slightly bumpy footage. It was really an opportunistic shoot with no time to set up with tripod etc as I’m sure you can imagine.

Andrea Corr’s embarrasing moment with her thumb
Every now and then you come across a video of someone famous doing something that makes you realise that they are just people like you and me. Here is one of Andrea Corr sitting next to her brother Jim who’s doing all the talking on an interview. Andrea looks like normal Andrea, just looking around and up comes the hand and she starts sucking her thumb. Then realises what she’s doing, pulls it away and gives the camera an embarrassed smile.
I’m not sure when this interview was or where but it looks a few years old.But by all reports, it’s not something she worries about to much as she’s quoted to say “Also, sucking my thumb comforts me. It helps me fall asleep. If I get tired, the first thing I do is put my thumb in my mouth. But I don’t think it’s because I’m insecure. It’s just very comforting and I love it. I can’t give it up.”

Aerobatics with a remote control jet
Some of the things possible with these jet powered remote contol planes is incredible. This one, specially built for aerobatics has a variable nozel on the engine allowing it to be pointed in different directions and the small wings at the front of the plane are used to control where the front points and to make the plane do it’s unique wheel stands down the runway at low speed.
Have a look at the video at the 2007 Jet Action at the Adelaide Model Aerosport field in Monarto about 45 minutes east of Adelaide, South Australia. -
Jet Action 2007, AMA Field, Monarto, South Australia
Jet Action 2007
26 May 2007 at the Adelaide Model Aerosport Field, Monarto, South Australia
My first visit to Jet Action was no disappointment. With great weather, clear skies, slight wind from the north and a top temp of about 21 Celsius the day was of to a great start. A few friends also turned out along with my brother and my son.
The action started very soon after we got there at 10AM with the first and only crash of the day. F-18 Hornet suffered a problem with the radio gear resulting in the engine shutting down just over the field leaving the pilot struggling to wipe of speed and get the plane down as quickly as possible. Anyway, you can see the video here:
It wasn’t to long after that we had Peter Agnew’s Navy Panther jet on the runway and doing some circuits of the field. These things are expensive. At some $20,000 plus 300 hours of labour, it’s not something that you crash. Anyway, for your enjoyment you can see it in action.
This pilot/plane was probably the highlight of the day. A jet doing things that I have never imagined a jet can do, like stand on end still in mid air and hold it there. I’ve seen this done with other aircraft but as soon as they stall at the top of the climb, they fall over and head back to earth. You just need to take a look. I think you will be amazed.
This next video is a very well built aircraft. It’s an F16 that looks so much like the real thing you won’t notice it’s not until something puts it’s size into perspective. Have a look.
Don’t forget to check out the pics in the Gallery.
It’s also worth having a look at the Adelaide Model Aerosport site and their Jet Action 2007 section in their picture gallery

The new way of TV
As bandwidth is increasing on the internet, it’s changing the way normal people all over the world watch “TV”. No longer are you controlled what you can watch or when you can watch it. Now you pick your content and when you watch it. Not only is this change significant for viewers, it also opens up doors for the avergage joe to start creating content.
This video here is one that I found through Kaitlin Hill (TheHill88) where Tom Green has set up a home studio in his lounge room and boadcasts a regular show over the internet. He has guests that traditionally would only be seen on “normal” television. This episode has Weired al Yankovic and pro skater, Mike Vallely. Their also on line with Don Sibly via the Internet from Sydney where Don’s grabbed his laptop and a crew and gone onto the streets of Sydney to do some comedy and some interviews.
