Unless it was a foiled terrorism attack...which might make someone (either the pilots or some very brave passengers) heroes. Someone knows something and isn't talking.

    Oscar Pistorius. At first I was undecided. Murder suspects can be very genuine about their innocence. But this guy...wow. Living in a country with a high crime rate I understand his defence that he was afraid. My grandfather almost shot his own son and daughter in law one night because he thought they were burglars! My aunt almost shot the dog one night as well when she thought there was a ***man at the door. The dog was scratching himself while leaning on the door so it was rattling. We live with metal burglar bars on all our windows and doors, security guards or security systems (panic buttons and/or wired systems) on our homes, high walls around our properties. I very rarely go out at night. Security companies in Jamaica are totally unaffected by the worldwide recession because we cannot do without them for our offices and homes. South Africa's crime rate is legendary and living in that kind of fear does strange things to the mind. When you think there is a burglar at your door or in your house and you know that either they or you will end up dead or seriously injured or r a p e d, you just have no idea how you will react. Reason flies through the door.



    Burger King has ackee and saltfish (our national dish) on its breakfast menu.They also have Fried Bammies (a cassava "wafer"). Everything else is pretty much the same. McDonald's had Fried chicken I think. The only thing I ever had was the Fries so I'm not sure if there was anything else. The problem with McDonalds was that when they came here there was already a Jamaican company named McDonalds. The Jamaican company had been operating for many many years in Kingston and had an established reputation. They served Jamaican food only. The American McDonald's sued them for trying to "pass off" their brand. The Jamaican company won the case as there was found to be no similarity between the two except the name. I suspect people didn't quite like that and so from the outset the support for the company just was not there. The other fast food chains - Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, Dominoes franchises are all doing quite well. I believe there may be a few Subways in Kingston as well. People support them all. Especially KFC. I believe we may have the biggest and busiest KFC in the world right in Montego Bay. Jamaicans love their fried something-resembling-chicken-but-which-may-not-really-be-chicken.
    Hadn't heard of those foods. Looks like I need to go to Jamaica to try them. I've always wanted to go to the Caribbean.

    I'm not sure what's going on with the plane either. They think they picked up the pings of the black box recorder again. Hopefully they can find it and we might know what happened.

    On Oscar Pistorius, I haven't been following that.

Can't wait to go out and throw water on random strangers for three days :-P
    Did I not till you guy back in January that you would soon be complaining about how hot it is where you are? Lol I guess it's true when they say "be careful what you wish for"

    So in school today I went on a field trip and extracted my DNA. So for those of you who are interested in seeing what your DNA looks like then I have written an instruction guide to how to extract your DNA here it is:


    How to extract DNA
    You will need:
    Salt water
    Dixie cup
    Soap
    Ethanol
    Test tube or transparent container with a lid

    1) put the salt water (10mL) in your mouth and swish agressivly for 30 seconds
    2) spit into the Dixie cup
    3) pinch the edge of the Dixie cup to make a spout
    4) pour the contents in the test tube and add 0.5 mL of soap. DO NOT SHAKE
    5) turn the cup upside down and right side up 10 times. Do this very slowly
    6) set test tube aside for 5-10 minutes
    7) pour in 1 mL of ethanol very slowly along the side of the test tube (you should see a very distinct layer between the two)
    8) set aside for 5 more minutes
    9) enjoy your DNA!

    The DNA should be the white jellyfish tentacle like substance!

    At step 4 you have salt water spit in your Dixie cup. What do you pour into the cup? Or do you mean to pour the contents of your Dixie cup in the test tube?

    What kind of soap do you use? Dish washing soap, liquid hand soap, or what?

    For step 5, do you mean to turn the test tube upside down and right side up? If you still mean the Dixie cup, how do you get the spit to not come out?

    Me? Wish for heat? Never! It's always hot where I am.

    @nmishii you should come to the Caribbean. We have slippy slides and pools and the Caribbean Sea!

    Step four: pour the contents into the Dixie cup

    You use 10% soap or "super soap" as it was call. It just has to be something that can break up oils

    You turn the test tube upside down and right side up to mix the soap

    Um, okay.

    I wanted to know since I was thinking about doing this with my nephew. I found a site that does this and also explains what's going on.

    One day, I will. I was thinking of a cruise. When's the best time with the least chance of a hurricane or tornado?
