obama approval rating falling
steadily since day 1.......down to 56% now....exactly where bush was 5 months into his term......
no wonder he is griping about FOX news |
Re: obama approval rating falling
He's going to turn into a disaster but the Liberals love looking at him.
With every left wing liberal news agency in the country kissing his a$s and slobbering over everything he says and does he shouldn't be worried about what FOX says. President Jug Ears killed a fly yesterday on camera, Mush Mouth Matthews had an erection, Olderman passed out and Cute Perky Katie had sixteen straight Orgasms, Walter Cronkite is going to write a book about it, one of the loony dip ***** lefty reporters saved the fly, he's going to have it mounted. |
Re: obama approval rating falling
It's still to early for people to admit they *****ed up. I'm surprised the number is still so high but I expect it to drop as people get further from their vote and admit to what they've done.
Re: obama approval rating falling
Obama is going down. His change is going to be very short.
Re: obama approval rating falling
Buyers' remorse is setting in. People are realizing that all the campaign rhetoric was just that: rhetoric. I'm glad black folks finally got a guy they can identify with sit on the big seat and stand tall at the big podium, but now they see that it takes more than audacity to solve the problems. Reality doesn't change just because the person in the Oval Office changes, and this is starting to sink in.
Good. Now we can start getting real and address the issues from a constructive, positive approach. Hopefully. Peace, Shalom, Salaam aleikum. // |
Re: obama approval rating falling
It's too bad that Obama's supporters can't get their money back because his hopeful changes are not working.
Re: obama approval rating falling
Bound to happen when he seems to be be not moving fast enough on impatient supporters on key issues. Make no mistake about it, those who posted above are not in the 56%...so your quips are kinda pointless.
Me? I still support him, but he has TONS of work to do. I would like to see him approach Healthcare with more of an open ear to single payer. The memo he signed yesterday still kinda pisses off gay supporters who were disillusioned by his stance on the sanctity of marriage. Rose colored glasses people. He doesn't support it. His secrecy of visitors at the WH pisses me off, when he claims transparency. The economy is STILL tanking, just at a slower rate. Gitmo remains open and a recruiting tool for terrorists, no comprehensive plan on what to do with the prisoners. These financial regulatory agencies will only work if people are regulating them, we will have to wait and see. He is keeping in place, the Bush regime's wiretapping program. We are still in Iraq. There are many other things that he is doing that pisses me off, but lets be honest people...comparing his first 150 to Bush's isn't even close. Bush was already clearing brush and playing golf. He inherited NO wars, and a surplus..... What SHOULD scare the fukc out of your haters...is that Obama still has a ton of work to do, and a ton of time. Despite the fact that there are a number of issues I am displeased about, he IS moving the country in the direction I'd like to see. Oh...... and 56% is still good. Its still a 'mandate' according to your boy W. |

virus - "poison" First identified – TMV as filterable disease agent. First virus detected was found affecting a plant (tobacco plants). The only way they could deal with it was to actually take the entire crop and burn it. Tobacco Mosaic Disease
Bacteria are too large to go through a filter. Most bacterial infections are caused by fungi thus both of them are unfilterable (bacteria & fungi) |
Viruses are host specific
the tail fibers have to match up perfectly with the receptors of specific bacteria to successfully attach itself. Virus-host specificity
Filterable disease agent
Unknown organism able to be filtered out of a solution
Viruses are incredible tiny. This is why they are filterable
An obligatory intracellular parasite consisting of a piece of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat
Most are smaller than bacteria. The largest are the size of rickettsias and chlamydias
All viruses lack independent metabolism. They do not have organelles or ribosomes. They multiply only inside living cells, using the host cell's machinery. (compare to rickettsias and chlamydias)
Are they living or non-living entities? Good question! Generally described as non-living entities.
Living things cannot be crystalized, but viruses can be crystalized. Plus viruses are able to replicate themselves (they reproduce such as other living things) "Active" and "inactive" are often used in place of "live" or "dead." |
viral genome core
contains either DNA or RNA, never both, 3 genes (smallest virus) or several hundred.
protein shell surrounding the genome. May be a very simple structure or complex.
some viruses have a lipid and carbohydrate coating in addition to the capsid, usually derived from the host cell (not present in all viruses)- Toga viraday
naked viruses
no envelope
protein projections associated with the envelope, may mutate frequently
the extracellular state, also called viral particle. Used interchangeably with "virus."
: There are virus families, but there are general groupings based on the following
Host type
animal viruses, plant viruses, or bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria).
o T2,T4,T6- even phages (the common bacteriophages discovered) |
Nucleic acid content
DNA or RNA viruses. RNA viruses may be positive or negative. Negative RNA viruses carry a special enzyme - RNA polymerase.
o DNA Viruses o RNA Viruses o DNA Single Strand Double Strand o RNA Single Strand Double Strand |
Culturing viruses
• in bacteria (obviously for bacteriophages only)
• in living animals such as mice, rats, etc….. • in embryonated poultry eggs • in cell cultures |
primary cell cultures
normal cells, tend to die after a few generations. (die no matter what you) Only grow in a monolayer
continuous cell cultures
abnormal cells (usually taken from a tumor source-cancer), immortal, pile up on each other (past monolayer), replicate indefinitely, live indefinitely. (HeLa cells – Wikipedia- first discovered continuous cells) HeLa cells were used to cure the first polio case.
Viral Replication
(Most of what we know is based on research with E. coli and T even phages) Only 2 ways
Lytic Cycle- Viral Replication
1. Adsorption - random collision and adherence to complementary host receptor sites, highly host cell specific. The point where virus-host specificity occurs
2. Penetration - nucleic acid core enters host cells, protein coating remains outside. Virus inserts viral DNA 3. Replication/Biosynthesis - vDNA takes over the host cell, directs production of viral components. Eclipse period - no visible sign of viruses present. 4. Assembly/Maturation - viral components assemble into whole viruses, few hundred to several thousand. 5. Release/Burst – lysis (breakdown or explsion) of host cell, releasing mature virions, each capable of infecting another cell. |
burst size (Lytic Cycle)
number of new viruses released, 50-200
burst time (Lytic Cycle)
time interval between attachment and burst, as little as 20 minutes (in vitro).
Lysogeny- Viral Replication
Viruses insert vDNA in host DNA. vDNA splices into host DNA and remains dormant until induced (UV light, radiation, chemicals, ?) to undergo the lytic cycle.
Virus may be referred to as a prophage or provirus when it inserts into the host DNA. This latency period "hides" the virus from the body's immune system. 1. Adsorption 2. Penetration 3. Insertion into host DNA 4. "Something" will trigger the lytic cycle (exposure to ultraviolet light triggers lysogenic viruses to undergo lytic cycle) |
Transduction - Viral Replication
Viruses may carry new genes from host to host. A host cell may exhibit new characteristics, used as a tool by researchers to splice genes – genetic recombination.
Also implicated in causing some forms of cancer. |
Eukaryotic Cell Viral Replication - how we know it differs from bacteriophages
• Require specific receptor sites on eukaryote membranes.
• Non-enveloped viruses bind to potential host cell membrane and induce endocytosis. • Enveloped viruses fuse with host cell membrane and only core and proteins (enzymes) enter the host cell. • Replication and assembly much more complex. May occur in the cytoplasm or nucleus or both. Core must "deal" with nuclear membrane. Not well understood. Virus may use host cell's machinery or create its own. • Release is by cell burst (8-40 hours) or budding (enveloped viruses). Viruses may be released slowly for long time, not killing the host cell. • Eukaryotic host cells may become transformed, possibly become immortal (linked to cancer) or induce immune reactions. • RNA viruses may use vRNA immediately or need to synthesize another strand of RNA to be used to create viral components. Retroviruses carry an enzyme, reverse transcriptase, to synthesize a strand of DNA. |
- estimated that 20% of all cancers are activated by viruses. Virus inserts at the site of an oncogene (parts of the host genome).
• Host cells are transformed into abnormal or immortal cancer cells. May produce abnormal products or abnormal amounts of normal cell products. • Exhibit a loss of contact inhibition - cells don't know when to stop dividing. • Cancer cells also undergo dedifferentiation - revert back to an embryonic-like form • May metastasize - spread to other body parts. • Overall, cancer cells interfere with normal organ processes and rob vital nutrients. |
Viral Detection
• In some cell cultures, see cytopathic (abnormal appearance) effect
• hemagglutination - clumping of red blood cells • Some cells show characteristic changes - rabies causes Negri bodies in brain cells • Some viral infections create specific signs in the human body |
Koch's Postulates
cannot be applied to viral diseases because the virus cannot be cultivated in pure culture or there may not be a suitable animal model.
Viral Treatment
- antibiotics don't work. Antibiotics used for bacteria often target unique biochemical systems in the bacteria. Because viruses depend heavily on host functions for their multiplication, it has been difficult to find and target unique biochemical systems in viruses.
Antiviral agents - Viral Treatment
work by blocking polymerase functions in viruses or base analogs that create non-functional viral DNA, thus prevent viral replication.
Interferon - Viral Treatment
different types produced by different host cells. A non-specific action. Viral infection causes host cell to produce interferon. Interferon exposure to surrounding non-infected cells induces them to produce anti-viral protein. Anti-viral protein acts as a barrier thus providing protection for the uninfected cells. Bad side effects often result from interferon administration. Used as last ditch effort to treat some forms of cancer.
Viral inactivation
Usually by chemicals such as chlorine, iodine, phenol, detergents, heavy metals and toxic gases. Also heat, UV light. Totally dependent on the individual virus
Virus-Like Agents- Viriods
- tiny fragments of RNA, plant pathogens, must be able to penetrate cellulose cell walls, may multiply inside insects, may be passed to pollen or seeds, not much known. Suspected to be associated with human diseases – no direct evidence yet
Virus-Like Agents- Prions
proteinaceous infectious particle, current theory is that these are normal proteins that become infectious when folded into abnormal shapes. Invisible to the immune system. Tough enough to survive harsh solvents and extreme temperatures. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or Mad Cow Disease), Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in deer and elk, Scrapie in sheep. Resistant to high heat, ionizing radiation, UV light, and common disinfectants. Biggest human risk is related to consumption of infected beef products. Incubation 2-20 yrs. The European Union totally banned (MBM) meat and bone meal cattle feed in 2001.

Flo Rida And MGK Face-Off At WrestleMania
Before international wrestling superstars John Cena and The Rock took to the squared circle for WrestleMania XXVIII's main event last night (April 1), rappers Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Flo Rida hit the stage to put a choke hold on the sound system.
Each MC took a side, representing for one of the championship wrestlers: MGK was for Cena; Native Florida rapper Flo Rida provided the theme music for The Rock. To hype up his Bad Boy, signee, Sean Diddy Combs came out and introduced MGK who, along with Skylar Grey, performed "Invincible."
At the end of his performance, MGK shouted out Cena and announced his prediction for the night.
"Tonight is much more than a wrestling match," he told the crowd of nearly 80,000 at Miami's Sun Life Stadium. "Tonight millions of people around the world are tuning in to see one of the biggest egos get beat by one of the biggest underdogs…The underdog is Machine Gun Kelly. The underdog is John Cena.The underdog rises above hate."
While MGK's Cena endorsement was met with a round of boos, Flo Rida came out for The Rock with upbeat performances of his hits "Good Feeling" and "Wild Ones."
The Rock was the eventual victor of the evening's pay-per-view event, but fans of MGK and Flo Rida might have been the night's biggest winners. Check out CBSLocal/Miami for more details. –E. Parker, CBS Local

orphans home in Kilburn

Does anybody know of a girls orphan home on Cambridge Road, Willesden, Kilburn? My great-grandmother was there in 1871, age 15 as an orphan. I can't find any record of this place anywhere. Rosemary |
PolperroPrincess | Report | 30 Mar 2006 01:11 |
Jane de Brissac Frederica, the youngest of the family, never married, but she was all the mother they ever knew to hundreds of girls. As a young woman in her early twenties, she had left the comfort and luxury of her palatial home in Madeira, and had come to England and founded an Orphanage with her own private fortune. The children she had collected from the slums of London, which she visited alone and unattended, an unheard of thing for a young lady in the 1860's. She would go down to the most appalling slums and alleys, where no policeman would venture alone, and in and out of tenements and yards of such poverty and squalor as are unknown in these days. She would find children starving and almost naked, and all those that were homeless or unwanted she would take into her care, In those days no provision was made by local authorities for children who had one parent living, or who simply were in bad homes, and it was on these that she concentrated. From small beginnings the Orphanage grew rapidly, till for many years she had over a hundred children, and a big establishment in Kilburn. At about the turn of the century, as public responsibility began to awaken, the numbers gradually lessened and she moved from Kilburn to a large house near Peckham Rye, where she lived till her death, housing on an average about forty children. |

Alexandra Home For Girls, Kilburn 176 Alexandra Road, Kilburn, London (1906 - 1908) Alexandra Home became part of the Waifs and Strays' Society in 1906, though we believe it was running independently for sometime beforehand. The rented building was at 176 Alexandra Road and was capable of housing twenty girls (aged 8-14). Unfortunately we know very little about life in the Home as it remained open for just two years. The Society's magazine Our Waifs and Strays tells us that the Home hosted several bazaars to help raise funds. The magazine also mentions a Royal visit to Kilburn by the Duke of Argyll and Princess Louise on December 11th 1906. Along with many other local people, the girls of the Home gathered on the streets to catch a glimpse of their Royal guests. The location of the Home was not ideal for a long-term residence. The building was too small to meet the demand for places, and the Society disagreed with the 'sooty little garden over-looking the railway'. Alexandra Home for Girls was moved in 1908 to more suitable premises in Loughton and became St Ethelburga's. The children now had a house with a good garden, and plenty of space to play. |

"Great media expierence, outstanding hackability."
4.0 starson by bhartman35Pros: - Nice, bright, colorful screen
- The price
- Access to Amazon's digital kingdom
- Enough hackability for a very good Android tabletCons: - Carousel is oversensitive
- Wifi onlySummary: The Kindle Fire is great for a specific set of users: Those who don't want all the bells and whistles of an iPad, and, more importantly, don't want to pay for them. It should be no surprise to anyone that $500 buys you more tablet than $200 does. So here's what you're not getting with the Kindle Fire:
I haven't updated the review since the 6.2.1 upgrade came out, so just let me say, the carousel works much better than before.
1) Camera
2) Microphone
3) Full Android Market (but you can root the device to get that)
If there's anything on that list you can't do without, this tablet isn't for you. For the rest of us, the Kindle Fire represents a leap forward in low-cost tablets. This isn't some Chinese knockoff with 3 hours of battery life and no multitouch, accessing some anemic app store they tacked on as an afterthought. The Amazon Appstore, while not as extensive as the Android Market, will likely be enough to tide many people over, and there are more apps being added every day. (Expect the Amazon Appstore to explode, now that the Kindle Fire is out and it appears to be a hit.) Plus, you get a free app every day. Today, I picked up the full version of Documents To Go. Not bad. Not bad at all. :)
The two biggest downsides I can name are these:
1) The device is Wifi only. And it doesn't seem to like ad hoc networks, so you might be unsuccessful tethering it. (I certainly have been, so far.) So you're going to have to do your downloading while you're in Wifi range, and save the videos to play later, if you want to play video outside of Wifi.
The carousel (Amazon's cover flow-like menu) takes some getting used to. If you flick through too fast, it's hard to get the interface to slow down at the app you want to open. But after a day or two, I had a light enough touch that I could move through the menu quickly and accurately.
Much has been made of the comparatively sparse 8GB of memory. But keep two things in mind:
1) If you're comparing this to a Nook, the Nook actually limits you to 1GB of space for non-B&N items. The Kindle Fire is file agnostic. Amazon's Cloud Player doesn't care where you got the music from.
2) All your files are backed up on the cloud, so there's no problem deleting something, if your space gets tight. You can always download it again later, in a matter of seconds. If you've owned a Kindle before, you're very familiar with this cloud dance. It's really not that big a deal.
In short, I can heartily recommend the Kindle Fire for 90% of people who would normally get an iPad2 for music, movies, and Web browsing. The interface isn't as polished as an iPad 2, but unless you have very specific needs, you're probably not going to miss the extra features more than you'd miss the extra $300 you'd spend on the iPad.
Updated on Mar 12, 2012
On the other side of the ledger, the lack of USB host mode does bother me a little. I think the Kindle Fire would easily be a 5-star device if it had USB host mode or Bluetooth (enabled) so you could hook a keyboard to it.

In a 3-0 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Houston held that the age restriction, which dates to 1968, was "consistent with a long standing tradition of targeting select groups' ability to access and to use arms for the sake of public safety."People 18 to 20 years old may possess and use handguns, receive them as gifts and buy them from private owners. But licensed firearm dealers are prohibited from selling handguns to people under 21.

NFC questions (cont.) |
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS -- Are the Saints facing a showdown with Reggie Bush over his scheduled $8 million salary in 2010? Once upon a time during the season that just ended, it looked nigh impossible that the Saints would be willing to pay their situational running back the money he has coming this year in the fifth season of his six-year rookie contract. But now, in the post-Super Bowl love-fest, who can say definitively? The Saints certainly know Bush loves playing in New Orleans and is motivated to stay put, so they could approach him with a restructured deal that is in essence a pay cut. As long as they're tactful about it and Bush doesn't feel insulted, the two sides could work something out and continue the marriage. But I don't think a trade or release are really options at this point. Saints head coach Sean Payton made Bush his first draft pick in New Orleans, and still believes in him. Bush will get his best deal from the Saints, because nobody loves him as much as they do. *And another thing: All-Pro safety Darren Sharper is the team's priority unrestricted free agent, but New Orleans will do what it takes to retain him. Other than coordinator Gregg Williams, nobody did more to change the face of the Saints defense than Sharper. ATLANTA FALCONS -- What's the biggest lock in the first round of this year's NFL Draft? I suppose defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy going 1-2 in some order looks rock solid to most folks about now, but I'd put my money on the Falcons taking a cornerback in the first round as having an even higher probability. Atlanta's injury-plagued secondary was its glaring weakness last season, and that the Falcons managed to go 9-7 with the cornerbacks they had speaks to how much offensive talent is currently on hand in Atlanta. I gave the No. 19 Falcons fast-rising Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson in my first mock draft last month, but Alabama's Kareem Jackson is another possibility that has surfaced as we get fully into draft season. In an NFC South currently ruled by the receiver-laden Super Bowl champion Saints, the Falcons are desperate for a big-time cover corner. *And another thing: After using three kickers last season, can the Falcons find someone to bring stability to that key position? Matt Bryant and Steven Hauschka are still around, but three CFL kickers reportedly tried out just last week. CAROLINA PANTHERS -- Does Julius Peppers have any chance of being a Panther again in 2010? Slim and none -- with slim decreasing all the time -- sounds about right. Carolina wound up paying their star defensive end a total of $18.2 million for the 2009 season, and nobody thinks Panthers owner Jerry Richardson is willing to go that route again, re-slapping the franchise tag on him at a cool $20.1 million this time around. Carolina could franchise him and then shop him in trade, but a new contract would obviously be a major component of any deal. The always quiet Peppers is getting the silent treatment from the Panthers these days, and he now says he doesn't want a long-term deal in Carolina. One way or another, his eight-year run in Charlotte looks over. The Panthers have until Feb. 25 to franchise him, and teams like New England (a 3-4 defense), Philadelphia and New Orleans (both 4-3s) seem the most likely potential suitors. *And another thing: Will veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme stick around as Matt Moore's backup next season, or will the Panthers cut ties with the player they unwisely rewarded with a fat, long-term contract extension in 2009? TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS -- Can the Bucs use their all-important 10 draft picks this year as the foundation of their rebuilding program? With the exception of starting quarterback, where the Bucs are Josh Freeman's team for the foreseeable future, Tampa Bay has needs everywhere you look on the roster. Defensive end, defensive tackle, safety, cornerback, receiver, running back, guard, offensive tackle, you name it. There's no way the Bucs are going to be major players in what figures to be a quieter than usual free agency period, so that makes this year's draft absolutely critical if Tampa Bay is to return to relevance. Much like Detroit did in last year's draft, the Bucs need to come away with four or five starters from the 2010 lottery, hopefully seeding each line of their defense with at least one potential standout. *And another thing: Getting a sense of stability established after last year's upheaval -- new head coach, new GM, new coordinators, fired coordinators, three different starting QBs -- would register as progress in and of itself in 2010. NFC WESTARIZONA CARDINALS -- Will the Cardinals finally end the team's Anquan Boldin era? Most likely, yes. Boldin says he's not requesting a trade this offseason, but ironically, this time he doesn't have to. With young receivers Steve Breaston and Early Doucet both contributing alongside Larry Fitzgerald last season, the Cardinals can see that life without Boldin is far from scary. In fact, in games Boldin has missed the past two years, Arizona is 6-2, averaging more than 30 points per game. With him, they're 17-13, with 24.5 ppg. As long as the Cardinals don't over-price Boldin, he should draw interest from receiver-needy teams like Miami and Baltimore, and maybe even Denver if it moves Brandon Marshall. *And another thing: Will the Cardinals bring in some legitimate competition for newly elevated starter, Matt Leinart? Maybe they draft a quarterback in the mid-to-late rounds, but otherwise I think it's Leinart's time and Leinart's team. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS -- Did Alex Smith and Mike Singletary do enough in 2009 to establish themselves as the 49ers' tandem for the long term? San Francisco's quarterback and head coach did just enough in their first full season together to warrant another chance to continue their growth in 2010. But that's about as far as the commitment level should go these days in 49ers-land. Smith had a pretty decent season after taking over for Shaun Hill six games into the year. He wasn't lights out, but you could see the beginning of some solid chemistry between Smith and tight end Vernon Davis and receiver Michael Crabtree. That deserves time to strengthen. As for Singletary, his leadership skills outweigh his coaching skills at this point, but he too took a step in the right direction with last year's 8-8. With no Kurt Warner in Arizona any more, the 49ers have no excuse for not contending in the NFC West. That means the pressure amps up for both Singletary and Smith next season. *And another thing: Picking 13th and 16th in the first round, can the 49ers land themselves a quality cover corner to aid the pass defense (Florida's Joe Haden?) and a solid right offensive tackle (Idaho's Mike Iupati?) to upgrade the line and bookend with Joe Staley on the left side? SEATTLE SEAHAWKS -- Is Seattle wise to believe Matt Hasselbeck is still the answer at quarterback? Hasselbeck will be 35 in late September, he's coming off his worst season in years, and his recent health issues have been well-chronicled. But new head coach Pete Carroll and new offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates seem 100 percent sold on him still being the guy in Seattle, and Bates went so far as saying Hasselbeck could be "special'' in the team's West Coast offense. In a year in which Brett Favre and Kurt Warner played superbly at 40 and 38, respectively, it does seem premature to consider Hasselbeck washed up. Talking with Dick Vermeil last month, he scoffed at those who think Seattle needs a new quarterback, insisting Hasselbeck just needs a better supporting cast. I agree, but will Seattle give it to him? *And another thing: New offensive line coach Alex Gibbs' never needed a first-round running back in Denver to make the ground game work. So will Seattle pass on using one of its two first-rounders (No. 6 and 14) on a big-name back like Clemson's C.J. Spiller? ST. LOUIS RAMS -- Will the Rams wind up making the play for Eagles quarterback Michael Vick that everyone expects them to? No team in the NFL is more desperate for new options at quarterback than St. Louis, and that includes the very needy Bills, Browns and Raiders. The Rams still make the most sense for Vick because he'd walk in the door as the likely starter, getting the opportunity he craves, and he'd add a dose of much-needed excitement to a moribund franchise that has won three games over the past two years. Also, head coach Steve Spagnuolo and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur were on Andy Reid's staff in Philly for years, meaning the Rams would likely get the best possible trade terms (a fourth-round pick?) from the Eagles, not to mention straight talk on where Vick's game is at these days. *And another thing: Sitting in the draft's No. 1 slot, the Rams get to decide whether Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh or Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy is the most disruptive, pro-ready defensive tackle available. Watching that big-money decision play out should add a touch of drama to the draft season. CLICK HERE FOR JIM TROTTER'S LOOK AT THE AFC

a bit of an odd one this week... thai electone sounds! the yamaha corporation's electone organ was a pretty big hit in a lot of asian countries, thailand being no exception. while primarily thought of in the united states as a remnant of the "home electronic organ" trend of mid-century, the electone has become something of a studio staple in asia, and defines a great deal of thai pop especially. there are even big competitions held, presumedly to see who can get the most sound out of the thing! (see thailand's 2007 competitor, 14-year-old ปุณยาพร ลิ้มภักดีสถาพร (punyaphon limpakdeesathaphon) here!) this tape, which i can find hardly any information about, comprises mostly instrumental interpretations of foreign dance hits; american, japanese, korean, chinese, etc. strange and fun synth noises abound, and there's the occasional acoustic percussion (drum kit, bongos or what-have-you) supplementing the rhythm track; something like thai "library music"! there is no artist listed, just english song titles with the dance style indicated beside it in thai. if anyone happens to know who's playing, please do tell! otherwise, just enjoy!!!

It makes me nervous when major changes are made to Volkswagen's TDI engines, but according to a NYTimes Wheels blog article there are new efficient diesel power plants planned for Golf, Beetle, Passat and Jetta models next year. A few years the Pumpe Düse unit injector PD engine displace VW's ALH motor which was one of the more reliable engines and then not too long after another common rail and emission change was made. What were suppose to be improvements each time had many customers complaining and facing some very expensive repairs (not to mention the hassles of having their relatively new cars serviced). I'm not sure where the status of those issues are today, but I always worry about design flaws and the normal black-eye producing bugs that show up when drastic changes are made to engines.
Volkswagen announced Tuesday that its EA288 TDI Clean Diesel engine would be available in the 2015 Golf, Beetle, Passat and Jetta models, which were scheduled to go on sale in the United States during the second half of 2014.

Well, I'm not a neat person, but I found this type very suit to me. The white on white make this watch looked "humble". I don't like the brand showed dominantly. I enjoy value. The oversized round case, make this watch looked so surreal. It is like the watch screams "Look at the time!". So I'm not late anymore nor waste the time. lol.

I just love fate. Or kismet or synchronicity. My kids bought me a Kindle for Christmas. Yep, got it early. Not that they didn't try. My daughter ordered it online from Amazon, pretty much the only place you can get one in Canada. She arranged to have it sent to a friend's address. Sounds like a plan, hmmm?
Well, the Universe had other plans. Said friend was not there when UPS made the delivery. But she knew it was coming and she lives in an apartment and made sure to look for a notice every day. Suddenly one day there was a card on her door which read: FINAL NOTICE. The note said the parcel was going to be sent back unless it was picked up ~ at a bit of a distance ~ by the next day. It also said there was no one living at that apartment by my daughter's name. Well, this gal was working the next day, bless her, so she emailed my daughter in a panic. Daughter phoned them and arranged to have it delivered here. And as fate would have it, mother was there the day it arrived. It being pretty obvious what was afoot, the kids decided to let me have it early.
The first thing I did after charging it up (once I stopped doing a happy dance) was sync my own book onto the device. That was a wonderful feeling and cause for yet another happy dance. Though I had seen The Storyteller on friends' iPads I did not know anyone who owned a Kindle (guess that tells one something about my friends, though not sure what, grin). I had downloaded it to the free Kindle for PC as I subsequently did many others. Because I do my work on a laptop, reading a book there did not seem appealing and these became my 'wish' list for when I got my device, so the second thing I did was sync a book I was dying to read. The experience did not disappoint. I am loving the book as well and will no doubt write about that one day. I am like a kid with a new toy, but then that is often how I am. I was so excited when I happened to discover an item on the menu marked, Experimental. I am nothing if not a sucker for something like that. It was pre-loaded with Wikipedia and a couple of other sites, which for someone who loves research was heaven. Best of all Experimental allowed me to open my website on the device, after which I... did another happy dance!
Now, I am not one who has ever wanted to open presents early, I like the anticipation. But this daughter is one who would seek out her gifts (guess we weren't very good hiders ^ - ^ ) and open them up then carefully close them back again to be 'surprised' on the day.
If that's not kismet, I don't know what is!

People often ask me the difference between the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. "All political parties are alike," they will often say, but is that true? Not really. I want to point three distinct differences between the two major political parties:
First, the Republican Party is a party of limited government, Democrats believe in an expanded government. Republicans believe in empowering individuals and businesses. They believe that government should have just enough revenue to provide basic core services, aka roads, infrastructure, law enforcement. Republicans believe in providing those in real need with a hand up, but not a long term hand-out. The Democrat Party believes government has a moral obligation to provide for citizens. In addition to core services, they believe the government should provide food, shelter and health care for every citizen. The money to provide those programs are collected from the general public in the form of taxes and then redistributed to those in need.
Second, the Republican Party believes that life begins at conception; Democrats believe it begins at birth. According to Prolifephysicians.org, there is a universal consensus in the scientific community as to when life begins. They state, "According to most elementary definition of life, life begins at fertilization, when a sperm unites with an oocyte. From that moment, the being is highly organized, has the ability to acquire materials and energy, has the ability to respond to his or her environment, has the ability to adapt, and has the ability to reproduce (the cells divide, then divide again, etc., and barring pathology and pending reproductive maturity has the potential to reproduce other members of the species). Non-living things do not do these things. Even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant, a distinct, unique life has begun his or her existence inside her." U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Florida), chair of the Democratic National Committee, says defining that human life begins at conception is "an extreme and radical step." The Democrat Party national platform statement on abortion says; The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay.
Third, the Republican Party believes in the right to keep and bear arms, Democrats believe in restricting personal gun ownership. Democrats favor more gun control laws e.g. oppose the right to carry concealed weapons in public places. Republicans oppose gun control laws and are strong supporters of the Second Amendment as well as the right to carry concealed weapons for self defense.
In general Democrats tend to favor an active role for government in society and believe that such involvement – be it environmental regulations against polluting or anti-discrimination laws – can improve the quality of people's lives and help achieve the larger goal of opportunity and equality. On the other hand, Republicans tend to favor a limited role for government in society and believe that such reliance on the private sector (businesses and individuals) – be it avoiding unnecessary environmental regulations or anti-discrimination laws – can improve economic productivity and help achieve the larger goals of freedom and self-reliance

An impressive ranking that could be better
That Duncan was named one of the best 15 communities in Oklahoma by Movoto, a national Real Estate company, is news worth celebrating.
Of 43 places with population of 10,000 or more, as determined by the U.S. Census data, Duncan finished 15th. Norman was first, Edmond second, Yukon and Moore tied for third and Bethany was fifth. -
Kids shouldn't have to pay for having punster parents
Friends and neighbors, I've been cloistered in my Thought Chamber for the past few days, contemplating many high-brow philosophies and haughty hypothesis that we who think on a different level use to exercise our finely-tuned minds and remain intellectually superior to the Great Unwashed.
As you see, the time alone has been intellectually beneficial. I just composed an opening sentence (what we in the journalism dodge call a "lead") that's 46 words long. -
The blissful serenity of No-TV Land
Life without TV is possible. Maybe you should try it. I did. It's a do-able thing, I tell you. I'm still here, no worse the wear, no oozing wounds, no serious loss of brainwave activity except for the slow, inexorable downhill decline that already started when TV viewing was a daily occurrence.
Granted, two months without the tube is quite likely not a scientifically acceptable sample from which is to hold forth. But it's the best I can do, so deal with it.
Cooper's message is to remain active
Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the Dallas physician who coined the phrase "aerobics" more than four decades ago, who has become a world leader in physical fitness and who has saved, literally, thousands of lives by promoting the value of an active lifestyle, shared his philosophy of life here last week.
Time to take the "B" out of the "Three R's"
Our young folks are hitting the stretch drive toward the end of another school year, during which they've been taught "Three R's", which are not really "r's" at all.
In case you missed it, reading is the only one of the "Three R's" that actually begins with the letter "r." Writing starts with a "w" and arithmetic begins with the letter "a." There are two reasons we drop the "w" from "writing" and the "a" from "arithmetic": 1. For poetic flow in the age-old saying; and, 2. many people have a secret yen to talk like the Beverly Hillbillies. -
Thank you for lettin' me be myself again
Friends and neighbors, hope I don't sound like the biggest egomaniac since Donald Trump, but you know, I am the most interesting person I've ever known.
Forgive me if — on first blush — that sounds like the most totally self-aggrandizing statement you've ever heard. And if you've headed to the restroom to express an editorial opinion about the statement above, I'll stop for a couple minutes. -
Buzz misfired in Vanity Fair body slam of Duncan
As the new kid in town, I'm reluctant to leap atop the ramparts to defend the honor of Duncan, Okla., my new adopted hometown.
But to heck with that. When an out-of-towner comes into your house and soils your rug, it's on.
I speak, of course, about the article in Vanity Fair magazine about Duncan and the killing last year of Chris Lane, the Australian who was gunned down in August. -
Boys can still be boys
You know, the past was seldom as blissful as viewing it through the eyewear of nostalgia makes us believe.
That said, though, I do believe being a young boy in the 1950s and '60s — and probably further back than that — was more fun than it is today. -
Local film festival deserves applause
A highlight of the January calendar will take center stage Jan. 24 and Jan. 25 when the Trail Dance Film Festival showcases up-and-coming filmmakers and their work.
Nearly 100 features will be shown on screens at the L.B. and Ola Simmons Community Activities Center and the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center. -
Fair & Expo work a sound decision
The alarm seems positive. Duncan's Stephens County Fair & Expo Center, host to a full schedule of activities year round as one of the state's most active and successful agri-tourism facilities, appears to be a victim of its own success.

Maximum prison term for dangerous driving set to more than double
CTC welcomes Justice Minister's announcement, but says focus should be on driving itself
Dangerous drivers could face a maximum penalty of five years in prison instead of the current two under tougher measures against reckless driving announced by Justice Secretary Jack Straw today a move which has been welcomed by the cyclists' organisation the CTC.
The chief motive for introducing the stricter punishment was a perceived need to address the "devastating impact" that dangerous driving can have on victims' friends and family, according to Mr Straw.
That followed a high-profile campaign backed by the Mirror newspaper to introduce a so-called "Cerys' law" to press for stiffer sentences against dangerous driver. The campaign took its name from the 11-month-old daughter of Tracy and Gareth Edwards who was left brain-damaged by a teenage driver who collided with their car while doing 70mph in a 30mph zone in November 2006. The driver, Antonio Boparan, received a 21-month sentence but only served six months.
The Justice Minister's proposals were welcomed by the CTC, although it also called for measures to be introduced that focus on the poor driving itself, and not just the effect of the motorist's actions on the victim.
CTC's Campaigns and Policy Director Roger Geffen said: "Cyclists and pedestrians are disproportionately the victims of bad driving on our roads. As the UK's largest representative body for cycling, it is obvious to us that there is a desperate need to review the sentences for dangerous driving, and an increase in the maximum sentence is clearly welcome.
"However, to deter bad driving we also need sanctions which better reflect the standards of the driving itself, rather than the level of injury sustained by the victim," he continued.
"Where there is no obvious recklessness involved, CTC would like to see a greater use of driving bans and driver retraining and retesting. Conversely if a driver causes an obvious danger they should not be let off by being prosecuted merely for 'careless' driving," he added.
Mr Geffen concluded by saying "a serious attitude-shift towards safe driving is needed if we are to encourage everyone, including children, to walk and cycle more."
Announcing the proposals, Mr Straw said: "'Dangerous driving can destroy lives and have a devastating impact on the families and friends of its victims.
"We have listened with great care to the innocent victims of dangerous drivers, their families and road safety groups and their experiences have directly informed these changes. As this is such an important and personal issue to those campaigning for this change to the law, I thought it appropriate to let them know as soon as possible that we are determined to make this important change," he continued.
"However, introducing new laws takes time and so this cannot be put on the statute book immediately. This is inevitable when amendments to primary legislation are necessary, as in this case. It will therefore take some time before it can be brought into effect," Mr Straw added.
He went on to say, "dangerous driving contributes to the seven deaths that occur on British roads every day and so it is vital that the government remains committed to continuing to tackle the menace of dangerous driving."
Road Safety Minister, Paul Clark, said: "Britain has the joint safest roads in the world but we are determined to further reduce the number of terrible tragedies which occur every year.
"This tough new measure will help us to achieve this goal and sends a clear message to the irresponsible few that we will not tolerate those who show a disregard for the safety of others by flouting the rules of the road," he added.
The proposed stricter punishment reflects an increased focus by the government on improving road safety, highlighted by last week's announcement that it would be made easier and cheaper for local authorities to introduce 20mph zones.
It also follows earlier legislation that has brought in new offences of careless driving and causing death where the driver is disqualified or uninsured, designed to ensure that drivers who kill people are given custodial sentences, with maximum terms of five and two years respectively.
However, with space needing to be found on the parliamentary calendar to pass legislation needed to amend the existing laws, it is not known when the new rules will come into effect.
The Conservative Party has said in the past that it intends to be stricter on dangerous drivers if elected at the next general election, but it is unclear whether it would back Mr Straw's proposals.
What is stopping someone who is going to commit murder to do it by car rather than knife / gun - as they'll get a lesser sentence?

In theory nothing apart from an ability to plan it right and make it look like an 'accident'. If you knew the victim though the police would surely be suspicious or if you had anything to gain from their accidental death

Get to know the everyday people who share their personal vacation planning advice and their Disney Parks experiences.
About Me: I first learned about the Walt Disney World Moms Panel three years ago. Since then it has been an indispensable vacation planning resource for my family. Kay B, my predecessor as the Adventures by Disney specialist on the Moms Panel, was instrumental in our decision to take our first Adventures by Disney tour. Without any fluency in German or experience traveling through Europe with a child, we found Kay's answers very reassuring. Going on our ABD trip was one of the best decisions we ever made. I'd love to share my perspective with other families considering a trip with Adventures by Disney.
About My Family: My husband and I started our marriage off right with a honeymoon at the Grand Floridian. He purchased me a Disney Vacation Club Membership at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge as a surprise for my 40th birthday. Since then we visit our "home away from home" almost annually. Last summer we celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary on a magical Adventures by Disney trip to Germany. As with all of our Disney trips, we were ecstatic to take our now 11-year-old son along on our adventure. An avid baseball player and cartoonist, he looks forward to his Walt Disney World vacations as much as his Disney-obsessed mother.
About My Disney Experience: I have been smitten with the Walt Disney Resort since my parents first took my sister and me there when I was six-years-old. I have been helping friends and family members plan their grand Disney adventures since I was in college. I have a special interest in researching Disney resorts and spend much of my time reading or listening to podcasts about new developments at the most magical place on earth. I consider it a great privilege to help shape families' sure-to-be-treasured vacation memories. I am so excited to help you with your questions about Adventures by Disney or Walt Disney World vacations!
What is a better choice for breakfast? Ohanas? Superfragilistic? Lookng for the better choice based on food selection. We have not been to either restaurant yet. It will be a choice off of our meal plan. So need to be full until early dinner. boys 11,7,6,
Hi everyones, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I would like to know if you have an idea if the TTFDP will be open on February 2013 because there's nothing available yet? 47 days before vacation! THANX
It has been 2 months since Limited Time Magic special experiences was announced and only 2 weeks until 2013. Is there any more info on each week's experiences?
I noticed that some restaurants are not listed in the Dining brochure for 2013. Are they still adding them?
My husband and I just decided (this evening!) to take our 4 kids to DW (ages 4, 6, 8 & 10). This will be my first trip, too! On such short notice (we'll be there 12/23-12-25) and a somewhat ltd budget...what are the definite must-do's? Cannot wait at 3
