Great song!
Fast and upbeat, just the way I like it! Loops really well too! Great for a ringtone, in my opinion.
I agree with you about cody5405's comment, but what I think what he's saying is that TechnoooLogic's headphones are bad quality and that he needs new ones.

Chinese Water Honey Peaches
Does anyone know if these are available in US yet? Would love to have one! Mrs. G
Mrs. G, I believe these are called honey peaches in the US; it is a type of peach and not a variety per se. There were some varieties imported many years ago but not since then. I have two of them, Pallas and Eagle Beak. Eagle Beak really must be seen, it has a huge "beak" on the end. The peach is very small and has a seed half the size of a regular peach. Very unusual. Pallas looks more like a regular peach. They are green-skinned so do not look particularly appetizing, and are far too soft for commercial growing. The flavor is definitely honeyed; I find Eagle Beak tastes better in my orchard but the folks in California seem to prefer Pallas. I believe Arboreum may have been selling trees of Pallas at some point. I have been having problems growing Eagle Beak, they split like crazy. This year they all split and I didn't get any fruits. Well, the squirrels were also helping themselves and they may have taken all the non-split ones.
In terms of flavor, they are good and different but I have yet to get a really "wow" taste out of them. I went through a lot of work to get the varieties and grow them and was a bit disappointed overall. It could well be that these varieties are not the very best representatives of the class. I have also had problems growing them due to bad luck; I found out this spring that my Eagle Beak has been suffering from borers for some time. So, I would not be surprised if the trees were not producing the best fruits possible. Honey peaches are supposed to be one of the oldest types of domesticated peaches, genetically they are quite different from standard peaches.
MrsG. It sounded like a Chinese native who translated locals name directly into English.
This Chinese "Water Honey" peach can be any number of varietyies... Depends on whether you are in northern part of country or southern part of country, or in between. Back 30-40 years ago or even earlier, only few vatieties of peaches grow in China so everyone called sweet and juicy peach " Water Honey" peaches which actually means honey water. The peach flavor back then is sweet for there weren't many sweeter peaches to choose from. But in nowadays' standard, the flavor is so so. There are many better varieties here to select and grow.
I had some of them are white flesh, some are yellow. These peach are cling stone peach, as most Chinese peaches are. When it full ripe, it turns very soft and juicy.
It was famouse in China because of Chinese traditional tale said the monkey king was managing the peach orchard in heaven where the " water honey " peach grow, along with the donuts' shaped peach. As we all know that moneys like fruits... so you know what happened when he was tasted to watch the peach orchard.
It is supposed to be a good enough peaches to be grown in heaven. If you are sure that the peach is growing in China is the same variety from heaven and can be grow down the earth, it might worth of the trying.
Last time I was in China, about a year ago, in Xi'an region where peaches and pomagranet grow well. Road vendors all sales "Water Honey" peaches. They bag the peaches so it looks perfect large with shade of pink/red. But the taste is bland, not much more flavor than some peaches I had here in U.S, and they are crunchy and Somehow became semi-cling stone too. Same name, differnt peaches.So be careful what you buy.
U.S agriculture is far advanced in the world. We developed so many varieties of superior quality fruits. Many friuts China is growing now are orginally imported from U.S.
Thank you so much Scott and Olympia Gardener. The Chinese peach I am looking for is large and white with a blush of reddish pink.
In 'Journey to the West', the Monkey King not only ate most of the Peaches in Heaven (they give you immortality if eaten), he got drunk! The pictures of these peaches on the internet look huge. Would love to give those a try. Thank you so much. Will try Arboreum this winter and see if they will have stock. Thanks again, Mrs. G
Mrs. G, I had some of these modern Chinese peaches last month in China which sound similar to what Olympia Gardener mentions. They were far too hard at first but softened and tasted good several days later. As I mentioned in another thread, they are also similar to the Zin Dai Jiu Bao variety I grow - large, white with pink blush, crunchy until they soften. I don't consider these the same as the original honey peaches which are very soft and more greenish. So if you want to get a peach like the modern Chinese ones you ate I would suggest this Zin Dai Jiu Bao.
I think many of these large modern Chinese peaches are in fact Japanese and Korean varieties which were developed fairly recently and imported into China. They are not like the current US varieties but they are clearly part of a modern breeding program, something that China did not have until very recently. I have seen very similar large white/pink blush peaches in both Japan and Korea. One of my other Chinese peaches from ARS is called Xiong Yue and its labeled "Okubo OP" meaning an open-pollinated seed of the (Japanese) variety Okubo. Okubo is in fact supposed to be a Japanese version of Honey peach. The squirrels have been stealing my Xiong Yue for the last few years but I may get some fruit this year.
It sounds like the naming has gotten confusing in China today since water honey peach is applied to many peaches. The Pallas and Eagle Beak varieties were imported from China around a hundred years ago and I expect they are more like the traditional Honey Peach of the Monkey King.
MrsG , you are right on the monkey King ate all the peaches and got drunk. As a side note, these peaches are blossom and fruit every 8 thousands years! So we have to be patient and long live in order to taste it and achive the immortality.
Frank, peento peaches are not common in China, only grow as regional novalty.
Frank I found quite a few of them in the markets of Beijing, but they were always only a couple as opposed to big piles of regular peaches. I am wishing now I pulled out my cellphone camera and took pictures. They looked a lot like Saturn, and I think there were also some more greenish ones. I bought a few but they needed to ripen more, no flavor.
I was there last year in the beginning of August in Xian, China. It was still early for pomegranate but road vendor was already selling some. The variety of pomegranate is different from here in USA which has pinkish white color meat and is so sweet. You can see beautiful pomegranate orchard everywhere in the countryside.
As to the peach, I found the so called 'sweet honey' peach which has a pronounced "beak" at the end. It has a pinkish red and seemingly looks transparent white peach. It's full of flavor, sweet and juicy. The best peach I have ever tasted. My children love them. Three peaches are a little over a pound. It's pity they can not store long and easily bruised.
Jianhuayegreentree, many thanks for your comments. I have been researching the varieties on the internet and the honey peaches that look like the peaches I had in China were definitely white peaches, very soft and flavorful. They had some red and pink in their coloring and really looked like 'peach' shaped steamed buns! There are a few nurseries here in the US that have white peaches with a 'beak'. These peaches also seem a bit elongated and not round. I will look into buying one of those, as I am sure I cannot get a tree from China. Many thanks for your thoughts. Aren't those peaches good! Mrs. G
I found that Giordano Farms in San Jose, CA grows the special Chinese Peach. Anyone in that area care to take a drive and check them out? I have emailed the farm, asking for a whip or maiden. Doubt it will happen, but I really want one of these trees. Thanks, Mrs. G
I hope this link still works. It is from the Wall Street Journal

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Monday said in Perth that the search operation for the crashed Malaysian airliner will be running for quite some time with "no time limit" as the hunt for the plane enters its 23rd day.
Mr. Abbott arrived at Perth's Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) base Pearce on Monday morning, even as the search continues to find the lost Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Speaking in Perth Mr. Abbott said, "We can keep searching for quite some time to come and we will keep searching for quite some time to come. I'm certainly not putting a time limit on it".
Appreciating the contribution of those who were involved in the search operation, Mr. Abbott said the "best brains in the world" are on the task but until any wreckage was found, authorities will have to keep relying on "guesstimates".
"All of the technological mastery that we have is being applied. So if this mystery is solvable, we will solve it," he said, adding "But I don't want to underestimate just how difficult it is".
Mr. Abbott said that it was "tremendous" to see such international cooperation.
"We have regular military cooperation with the United States, with New Zealand and with Malaysia, but to see also the cooperation with us from China, from Japan and from Korea is really heartening," he said.
"It demonstrates that in a humanitarian cause, the nations of this region can come together to work for the betterment of humanity, can work to try to resolve this extraordinary mystery, can work to try to bring peace and closure to the families of the 239 people on board that ill-fated aircraft.
Mr. Abbott said, "It's only reasonable that we should bear this cost. It's an act of international citizenship on Australia's part. At some point there might need to be a reckoning.
"There might have to be some kind of tallying, but nevertheless we are happy to be as helpful as we can to all of the countries with a stake in this, and let's not forget it's not just Malaysia, there's China obviously which had the largest number of citizens on the aircraft," he said.
Mr. Abbott, according to media reports here, said retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, country's former defence force chief, will lead a new joint agency co-ordination centre (JACC) in Perth to find the debris of the stricken jetliner.
"There is no one better placed than Angus to co-ordinate and liaise given the quite significant number of countries that all have a stake in this search," he said.

5/1/2014 (10 months ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Black people are murdering themselves, Dr. Alveda King, niece of civil rights icon Martin Luther King says. King is taking a controversial stance when it comes to abortion, but she's spreading her message as far and wide to all people who have ears to hear.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Marriage & Family
Keywords: Dr. Alveda King, genocide, abortions, black babies
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The high rate of abortion among African Americans was one of the keynote messages of a speech King gave earlier this week at the University of Missouri.
King shared these stark figures: More than 16,000,000 African-American children have been aborted since Roe v. Wade. Even worse, these abortions have occurred within a minority group that makes up just 13 percent of the American population.
Find out how you can help --
Recent news headlines hammer home King's speech: "In Georgia, 53.6 Percent of Babies Aborted Are Black," "In Mississippi, 72 Percent of the Babies Aborted Are Black," and "More Black Babies Die in Abortions in New York City than Given Birth."
Nearly 200 people converged at Columbia's Jesse Auditorium this week to hear from the pro-life and civil rights activist, who linked the right-to-life cause to modern-day civil rights.
King opened with a discussion of her family background and the ways it shaped her, most notably her faith and her commitment to protecting life at all stages.
"There is only one race on the planet," Dr. King stated, "the human race." She went on to cite 1 Corinthians 13: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."
King spoke about her own experiences concerning abortion. Her mother was encouraged to abort her while pregnant. King herself underwent two abortions before the words of her grandfather touched her.
"The woman has a right to choose what happens to her body," Dr. King recalls her grandfather saying, "but that baby is not her body."
A respected civil rights activist in her own right, King has received the Life Prize Award and the Civil Rights Award from the Congress of Racial Equality. She also currently serves as a Pastoral Associate with Priests for Life.
In the past, her speeches have touched on the effects of abortion on the black community as well.
"My grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr., once said, 'No one is going to kill a child of mine.' Tragically, two of his grandchildren had already been aborted when he saved the life of his next great-grandson with this statement. His son, King once said, 'The Negro cannot win as long as he is willing to sacrifice the lives of his children for comfort and safety.' How can the 'Dream' survive if we murder the children? Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother. The mother decides his or her fate."

i would find this more credible if it was about Tom Crean
ESPN - College football coaches make a lot of money
Article talks about Harbaugh, Meyer, Saban, and others.
In just about all coaches' contracts nowadays, it's standard for them to receive use of dealer automobiles, country club memberships and tickets (usually including a suite) to all home football games. Some even get the use of a private plane for so many hours per year for personal use.
Spring Game Info
Got an email in my inbox this morning asking for an RSVP to the spring game, along with a quick survey (basically how many people are you bringing).
Here is the info from MGoBlue.com
- Gates open at 10AM
- Game will be on BTN, BTN2Go, and radio on 97.1 (I would assume 1050 as well) in SE Michigan. Which, you have no excuse not to be in Ann Arbor. If you'd rather listen from aways away one of their websites or mgoblue.com will have it.
- There will be prize giveaways per the email I got, I would assume suggested donations would have some free swag associated with it as well, as in the past.
Less than a week away and I can't wait to see what the team looks like!
Edit: assume everyone knows this but admission is free.
Harbaugh at MHSFCA Hall of Fame
One of my friends was at the MHSFCA Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday night. I was surprised to hear that Jim Harbaugh spoke at the event. Unfortunately, my friend did not leave with a positive impression.
Apparently Jim showed up an hour late. He then rambled on about Bo and other Michigan football stuff and played a slideshow with black and white photos from spring practice.
Personally, I would have loved to witness that in person, but I can understand why non-Michigan people may have had negative reactions. Anyway, just thought I would share because HARBAUGH.
EDIT: Found video.
EDIT 2: That video was from a different event.
Jim Harbaugh is working players hard, and they love it.
The players are buying into Coach Harbaugh's training methods. Article includes some info and perspectives from current and former players.
Harbaugh's unique methods force players to be on alert at all times. Because, one, you know Harbaugh's watching. And, two, any slips could cost you your spot in the snap of a finger.

OT: Tom Brady Cliff Jump
I looked at the first few pages and didn't see it. I don't know how to embed a facebook post but here's Tom Brady jumping off a cliff causing Patriots fans everywhere to pass out. The comments on the video are priceless.


text:
Jonathon, from Lexington, Posted on our Facebook page "NPR has spent so many hours discussing who won the recent political fight, yet we have not offered up our own solutions or presented solutions offered by think tanks. Lets start compiling a list of cuttable items in the budget that make sense to normal people."
Sharee, from Corbin, writes, "I travel through Knox, Clay and Jackson counties at least once a week. I always end up playing "Spin the dial---Find the WEKU station." Transmission goes in and out and I am unable to keep it on a consistent station. Are there plans in the works to up the transmission signal?"
Our just-ended Fall Fund Drive is the subject of this Thursday email from listener Joan. "You are hurting your supporters. How can you justify to interrupt the middle of a show like On Point where it is important to hear the whole topic. I just have to turn it off and turn it on after your interference."
Joan continues, "On news shows you should only break in at the start and end of the program. I have contributed but do not want to be punished by having you continually interrupt a show."
A listener, preferring to remain anonymous, offered this comment with a donation, "I'm switching my support from WUKY to WEKU on account of their recent programming changes."
In our continuing dialogue over an hour of BBC news that we added a few weeks ago, Charlotte from Danville weighs in, "I love the BBC at 4:00 am in the morning. I'll always learn something quite interesting. I also love the classical music during the night."
Last week we shared some comments from listeners unhappy with the recent addition of an hour of the BBC World Service weekday mornings at 4:00. This week, Frank wrote to us, "My wife and I are BBC loyalists and are grateful to WEKU for the programs you play, from 4 AM onwards. I suppose we could listen to the BBC on the web, but we are old-fashioned radio addicts."
Ella from Barbourville, wrote, "What's up with the BBC Newshour (or whatever that was) at 4 AM Monday? I thought your mission was to promote arts and culture, as well as news and talk."
Jean e-mailed us from Houston, Texas with the following question, "What is wrong with your listener app? It keeps cutting out. Trying to stay with the times the more cumbersome streaming sign-on works better on my iPhone."
Several of you notified us of a problem with our signal on our sister station Classic 102.1. Luckily we were able to fix the problem by the afternoon – we appreciate the heads-up via Facebook and our listener comment line.
John, from Pikeville, wrote about an On Point show he heard this week. "I listened with disgust to the interview yesterday of Rand Paul by John Harwood. The interviewer seemed to have a preconceived opinion of Mr. Paul.
On the Listener Comment Line, a gentleman called who didn't leave a name or callback information. As a result, we can't use his voice on the air but we can say that he is in general a fan and supporter of WEKU but not of our Friday or Saturday night programming or of Radio Lab. In fact, he says he tuned in to the show once and thought he had gotten another station. He described Radiolab as "so far out, he thought he was on another planet."
Last week, we passed along a comment from Richard in Lexington who advised us to not waste our money on future Capitol Steps specials. We've had just one reply to a request for others to weigh in. Samantha wrote, "I have to say that I agree. I thought I was a little late tuning in to The World but was unpleasantly surprised when I heard a song about the upcoming royal baby instead."
A writer identifying as "Lydia" posted the following, using the Disqus feature on our website. Beginning by referring to the retirements of WEKU employees Carol Siler and Michael Carter, "Thank you for all that you brought to the station and all the enjoyment your listeners got from your work. May your metaphorical fund drives be short, your programming schedule full, and your listener feedback above average. (So to speak.)"
In a budget-cutting effort, Eastern Kentucky University has eliminated over 180 staff positions. Among those were two well-known WEKU employees who opted for early retirement, Development Coordinator Carol Siler and Music Director/Classic 102.1 host Michael Carter.
As you can imagine, most of this week's interaction has been on the topic of fund-raising.
A listener, choosing to remain anonymous, sent us a note following last week's coverage of The Best of Bluegrass activities, "I really enjoyed the Gangstagrass and Appalatin music tonight. Thank you for incorporating those two shows. I have enjoyed all the bluegrass coverage this week."
Brad, from Wilmore, e-mailed us, "I have not, do not, and probably will not listen to the new game show programs airing on WEKU. Except for 'Wait, Wait . . .' I find these programs, silly, corny, frivolous, and vacuous (without substance)."
Let's see, Ed from Lexington called station manager Roger Duvall. Karen emailed from London, Kentucky. Another Karen posted on Facebook, as did Terry. Meanwhile Chad tweeted about it. And this all happened Saturday evening.
We begin this week with a brief follow-up to the technical difficulties that virtually destroyed the 6 – 7 am hour of Morning Edition last Monday. The outage was a result of an equipment failure at NPR's pristine new studios in our nation's capital city.
We have a few backlogged comments that have never been on the air due to reaction to coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings.
All our comments this week relate to coverage of last week's tragic events in Boston.
An Easter weekend broadcast on both WEKU and Classic 102.1 brought a couple of responses on our Listener Comment Line.
By e-mail, we received this note from listener Joan, "My entire radio experience was changed when I first heard your new format. (My hours listening increased as did my twice annual contributions of many years.) The only time I am very unhappy with your programing is, of course, during fund raising weeks."
As you likely know, we just finished our Spring Fund Drive and got a lot of comments from listeners along with donations. Mostly positive, as could be expected.
We had a call from a very nice gentleman who describes himself as "a night listener." He's unhappy with the lack of overnight classical music on weekends and not a fan of the two food shows back-to-back on Sunday, namely America's Test Kitchen and the Splendid Table.
I mentioned last week that we heard some great comments at the six community meetings we held around the WEKU listening area last month. From our session in Hazard, Adam asked us to consider covering the arts in his community the way we do for Lexington, "I know you cover a wide area, not just Lexington and Hazard but all around but I'd like to see a lot more of these local events profiled."
We heard some great comments at the six community meetings we held around the WEKU listening area. We visited Hazard, Lexington, Corbin and Frankfort, held a meeting in Richmond and another one in Danville.
First up, a comment we didn't have time for last week: Helen, from the Lexington area, emailed us saying she's no fan of two midday programs on our sister station, Classic 102.1, those being The Score and On a Lighter Note.
First up today, a reaction to last week's comments. One of those was a concern about the nature of the humor in Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. The other, feeling our programming promotes what he described as the "homosexual agenda."
This week, we have some programming recommendations as well as technical concerns.

Quoting Quiverfull: Not Having Babies is Equal to Arguing With God?
by Nancy Campbell from Above Rubies - Dare We Argue With God? God's creation of our bodies is perfect, yet it seems that man often thinks he knows better than God. Our great Creator blessed us with a womb to conceive and bring forth children. And yet many women hardly want to acknowledge they have a womb. If they do, they take action to make sure that it cannot function as God intended. Men also stop the function of their fertility to their own detriment.Many think that by having a tubal ligation or vasectomy they are saving their lives. The opposite is the case. When we try to save our lives we lose them. When we lose our lives for Christ's sake, we find them (Mark 8:35). Our own way … [Read more...]
