News with Carrie Bickmore (bfr2)

A member of one of Australia's most dangerous biker gangs "sphinx" has been arrested for driving a Bianchi Bernina without a license. He has been charged with one month in prison and one year of traction with the gang when they find out he was driving a Bianchi Bernina. New South Wales M.P From the Liberal Party Barry O'Farrell says the bikie problems could possibly be solved by putting all of them in the same room and letting them destroy each other. The idea is based on how the Liberal Party works. The leader of Principals Australia has said that toddlers in pre-school should be given career counselling. An early childhood programme has said that the most popular career choice was "ice cream" closely followed by "need to go potty". The Obama ministration has stopped using the phrase "war on terror". Other phrases from the Bush era no longer used include "axis of evil", "nation building", and "Mr.President, the television can't hear you". A Qantas and Virgin airplane were struck by lightning on Friday's electrical storm. Jetstar officials have said that they weren't worried about they're planes getting hit, because cardboard isn't a conductor. Scientists are in the process of building the worlds largest laser. They say that it will definitely not be used for evil, said the project leader Professor Destructo. Finally, host of Australian idol James Mathison his quit his role because he craves anonymity. He hopes to find this anonymity by Winning Australian Idol. for the video click here

Cargo Catastrophe

at about 2 PM today, A FedEx cargo plan crashed due to heavy winds at  Tokyo's International Airport, Japan. It almost instantly burst into flames. the two men manning the cockpit were taken to hospital, then a local T.V station confirmed them both dead.  The flight of the MD-11 came from Guangzhou,  China, and footage of it crashing was shown on local television.

Cymru Am Byth!

Guess who won the 2009 IRB Sevens Rugby World Cup?

WALES!!!!!!

It was pretty epic. i mean, to return back from camp and the first thing i find out is Wales won the sevens world cup. They even Beat us, New Zealand! :(:

Heres a table of their games

Day One

Wales vs Zimbabwe

31-5

Day Two

Wales vs Uruguay

27-0

Wales vs Argentina

0-14

Day Three

Quarter Final

Wales vs New Zealand

15-14

Semi Final

Wales vs Samoa

19-12

Final

Wales vs Argentina

19-12

Also Scotland beat Australia 21-17 to win the plate final, and Zimbabwe beat Ireland 17-14 to win the bowl final. Some other big upsets were Argentina Beating South Africa 14-12.  The welsh team didn't have any of their famous union sidestep wizards like Shane Williams or Mark Jones either. England had previous sevens bragging rights but lost 36-21 to Samoa in the knockout stage. Dunno what happened to Fiji.

p.s Cymru Am Byth is Welsh for "Long Live Wales" so yes they can speak their own language.

My Favourite Rugby Player(s)

Conrad Smith Link

Gavin Henson Link

Top: Gavin Henson totally destroying Matthew Tait.

Bottom : Conrad Smith running up the ball.

If Mystery man can have a post about his favourite rugby player, then i can as well. In fact,  have two.

Gavin Henson

Gavin Henson is the starting Second-Five (no.12) For Wales. He is probably most recognised for his epic performance in the 2005 Six Nations against England, in which he anialated Matthew Tait twice, and kicked the winning Penalty goal from the sideline 40 metres out. (Wales won 11-9 securing a grand slam season). He played as the fullback (no. 15) for arguably the best Welsh provincial side, Neath-Swansea. Neath-Swansea Then changed their name to Osprey's, where he plays along side other well recognised Welsh rugby players like Shane Williams and James Hook. He has just come out of Injury to play against France, where Wales, sadly, lost.

Conrad Smith

Conrad Smith is now the first choice Centre for the All Blacks, since Tana Umaga has left us. He has a great eye for space, and is one of the All Blacks key playmakers. He is the reason our wingers have scored the amount of tries they have. He Bareley ever misses a tackle, and all he lacks is a bit of pace. He plays for the Super team "Hurricanes" and plays provincial rugby for wellington. He has accomplished a rare feat, capping 38 games with 55 points for the All Blacks, as well as capping 38 games and 55 points for Wellington.

I Don't buy games, i make them

Well actually i do buy games but as some people in our class might already know, i make them as well. The quality isn't very good but it isn't a piece of cake, or pie. to prove this i have dispalyed the ai (artificial intelligence) script. I was going to include a vid but i need to compress the size, so i will edit this post tomoro and the vid will be there ;)

the language is fairly easy but its complicated to put it all together with working objects in some srtrange way. it sounds a bit geeky but its fun until i get bored, then i lay off for a month, then i resume creating games.
