Frankfurt Motor Show
The Frankfurt Motor Show or Frankfurt Auto Show, in German known as the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA - International Automobile Exhibition), is the world's largest motor show. It is held biennially in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany. The show occupies 12 buildings.
The IAA is organized by the Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA – Association of the German Automotive Industry). Since 1991 the show is split in two: Even-numbered years show commercial vehicles in Hanover and odd-numbered years passenger vehicles (including some motorcycles) in Frankfurt. The show is scheduled by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles.
IAA history
The International Motor Show IAA in Germany - Ignition Sparks and Milestones
First IAA held at the Hotel Bristol in Berlin.
The IAA became a fixed event in Germany, with at least one held every year, usually in Berlin; in 1905, 1906 and 1907 there were two. The automobile was now socially accepted, and production was on an industrial level.
The first IAA in Berlin since World War I, and the 14th since counting began. Sixty-seven automobile manufacturers showed 90 motor car and 49 HGV models. This IAA revolved around "comfort".
Despite the still perceptible after-effects of the global recession, the 22nd IAA was held in Berlin. A total of 295,000 visitors were recorded. For the first time exhibition included front-wheel drive vehicles.
The last IAA before the outbreak of World War II was held in Berlin. This, the 29th IAA, saw an all-time record of 825,000 visitors. The new "Volkswagen" was presented for the first time. The "strength through joy motor car" later went down in automobile history as the "Beetle".
Germany's automobile and accessories manufacturers took part in the export trade fair in Hannover. The automobile industry's hall acted like a magnet on the public.
For the first time ever, an automobile exhibition was held on the trade fair site in Frankfurt. This major event, which took place in April, attracted 570,000 visitors. The exhibits included the first HGV to have a turbo diesel engine. Just six months later, in September, a second automobile exhibition in Berlin attracted 290,000 visitors. With this, the 35th IAA, the German automobile industry bade farewell to its traditional exhibition site and relocated completely to Frankfurt on the Main. From now on the IAA took place every other year.
The motor car celebrated its 70th birthday. Vehicle production in the Federal Republic of Germany broke the million-mark for the first time. Some 302,000 people were employed in the automobile industry. Germany's vehicle manufacturers were second only to the USA in world production. Cars "made in Germany" became the export hit. Almost every second vehicle built in Germany was sold abroad.
The 40th IAA on the exhibition site in Frankfurt was visited by 950.000 people – a new IAA record. The breakthrough to mass motoring had been achieved. Occupant safety was the key issue in many motor car presentations. The safety belt was one of the highlights at the exhibition.
A Japanese company presented its motor cars for the first time at an IAA.
The 44th IAA was overshadowed by the topic of "delivery dates". The economic slump was overcome, and Germany's automobile industry began to flourish again.
Germany's automobile manufacturers were on course for a new production record. For the first time, over 4 million vehicles were built. The IAA was a symbol of the increasing confidence of Germany's automobile industry.
Saving energy" was the watchword at the 49th IAA. The economy and low fuel consumption of the new models were emphasised. However, the IAA was also seen as the signal for a "limited economic upturn".
The last IAA to feature both cars and commercial vehicles confirmed that the exhibition site in Frankfurt was now too small for this major event. Almost 2,000 exhibitors squeezed onto an exhibition site measuring 252,000 square metres. More than 1.2 million visitors attended the event. Because of the high demand, it was no longer possible to meet exhibitors' requirements for adequate exhibition stands. In view of this, the VDA decided to hold two IAAs from now on.
The IAA was first subdivided in two in 1991. In odd-numbered years the IAA Passenger Cars is held in Frankfurt; even-numbered years see the IAA Commercial Vehicles in Hannover. The first "pure" IAA Passenger Cars was huge success. A total of 1,271 exhibitors from 43 countries displayed their new products and innovations on an exhibition site of some 200,000 square metres. With more than 935,000 visitors, the IAA Passenger Cars was extremely well attended.
The first IAA Commercial Vehicles saw 1,284 exhibitors from 29 countries. The exhibition site measured 252,000 square metres. Some 287,000 people visited this IAA, 66 per cent of them were trade visitors. This confirmed that the VDA's decision to split the event in two was right.
The motto of the last IAA of the old millennium was "The car: meeting place for the future". Manufacturers and suppliers showed how they had prepared for the challenges of the new millennium. The innovations under the bonnet in particular revealed just how seriously the automobile industry takes environmental protection. Thanks to developments in drive systems and engines, cars are cheaper and cleaner to run than ever before.
Because of the EXPO 2000 in Hannover, the 58th IAA Commercial Vehicles was held in Frankfurt. The number of exhibitors increased for the third time in a row – this time there were 1,318 companies from 42 countries. The proportion of trade visitors continued to increase and totalled 84 percent.
The September 11 terror attack on the World Trade Center in New York cast a shadow over the IAA in Frankfurt. The exhibition went ahead all the same. As a mark of solidarity with the victims and their dependants, all show elements and loud music as well as the official opening ceremony with the Federal Chancellor were cancelled. VDA President Gottschalk explained this decision: "Because we could not permit terrorist forces to take away our freedom of action. And because, as a key international sector, we have a responsibility not to allow things to grind to a halt." In an impressive manner, the general public confirmed that this indeed was the right decision to take: More than 800,000 people visited this "quiet IAA".
The 59th International Motor Show (IAA) Commercial Vehicles exceeded all expectations despite the difficult situation on the market. Around 237,000 visitors from 84 countries showed just how attractive this International Motor Show is. The proportion of professional visitors is over 90 per cent. In spite of the tough economic situation, seven out of ten professional visitors said that the reason for their visit to the IAA was preparation for making investment decisions or even for concluding contracts. This signaled an upturn in the mood in the commercial vehicle industry.
The 60th International Motor Show (IAA) Passenger Cars broke all previous records for visitor numbers. Over a million car afficinados on site in Frankfurt turned this IAA into the most visited one since 1991, when the IAA took place subdividedly for the first time - still under the strong influence of the reunification boom. 23 per cent more visitors than 2001 flocked to see products displayed by some 2,000 exhibitors from 42 nations on a total of 215,000 square metres of exhibition space.
The 60th IAA Commercial Vehicles in Hannover confirmed once again its position as the world's leading transport trade fair. Under the title "A Mobile Future", it proved its importance as a driving force for the entire industry with a record number of new vehicles and innovations. Exhibitors presented a total of 194 world premieres – 25 per cent more than in 2002 – as well as 61 European and 54 German premieres. The total of 1,370 exhibitors from almost every continent set a new record. The IAA Commercial Vehicles had developed from a straightforward product exhibition to a fully integrated trade fair, covering the entire value-added chain for mobility, transport and logistics.
In terms of sheer quality, the 61st International Motor Show Passenger Cars was the best IAA ever, focusing strongly on future solutions such as the hybrid, hydrogen, flex-fuel and SCR technologies for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. In terms of the area used, and the number of professional visitors and exhibitors, it deserved to be regarded as 'excellent'. The number of guests reached 940,000, the second highest figure ever, and it would probably have broken the record if there had not been the federal election plus Sunday Trading in Frankfurt's inner city during the trade fair.
2006 The 61st IAA Commercial Vehicles was a Motor Show of superlatives. It has set new records in all important areas. Its 253 world premieres represent more innovation than ever before. Progress in the fields of the environment and safety in particular present a new image for the whole industry. There were 1,556 satisfied exhibitors from 46 countries, who benefited from the IAA: more agreements and more orders than ever before. New country focuses indicate the increasing internationalization of the commercial vehicle business. This new aspect attracted 265,500 visitors to the 61st IAA, which is more than any previous IAA Commercial Vehicles.
The 62nd IAA was definitely one of the most successful IAAs ever. With nearly 1 million visitors from 125 countries, this IAA has even exceeded the very good result from the year 2005. This IAA has been more political and international than any other before. Climate change, fuel efficiency and CO2 reductions have determined the political topics. Of the 1,081 exhibitors, 42 per cent came from abroad.
2008 The 62nd IAA Commercial Vehicles is the most successful commercial vehicle trade fair so far. It has set new standards in all 'disciplines' and more than met the expectations. It has taken up a stronger position than ever before as the world's most important trade fair for mobility, transport and logistics, and improved its lead. With nearly 300,000 visitors (up by 12 per cent) from 110 countries, this IAA has exceeded all figures from previous IAA Commercial Vehicles and set a new record. Companies from 48 countries presented their innovations, including 258 world premieres. Of the 2,084 exhibitors (up by 34 per cent) a total of 1,188 came from abroad, which is 52 per cent more than two years ago. The exhibition space covered an area of 275,000 sq m (up by 10 per cent). This IAA has shown that the commercial vehicle industry leads in environmental technology. Here at the IAA it was recognizable for the first time on a broad front that commercial vehicles are opening up to the alternative powertrains. The focus was on the efforts made in traffic sustainability and thus climate protection also.
In the crisis year of 2009 the IAA Cars proved to be a magnet for visitors. Around 850,000 people visited the IAA, which greatly exceeded the target of 750,000. This IAA, which took place under the headline "A Moving Experience", showed where the mobility of tomorrow is heading. A huge number of options were presented at the IAA, ranging from the mild hybrid and the plug-in hybrid to the all-electric car, fuel cells and hydrogen power.
With 1,751 exhibitors from 43 countries, this was the IAA with the second highest number of exhibitors ever. And with the new record of 272 world premieres, this IAA has enhanced its position as the world's most important trade fair for mobility, logistics and transport. Trucks, vans and buses are clearly moving towards alternative powertrains: hybrid drive, electric power, and fuel cells. In heavy trucks the trend is the further optimization of clean diesel engines that are becoming even cleaner and more economical. The target of more than 200,000 visitors to the IAA has been met. With 240,000 to 250,000 visitors, this IAA has reached the average level for the IAA Commercial Vehicles in this decade.'
Under the headline "Future Comes as Standard", this IAA Cars at Frankfurt has sent out strong signals in the form of more exhibitors (1,012), more exhibition space (235,000 square meters), more world premieres (183) and more visitors (928,100) than the IAA two years ago. Innovations focused on highly fuel-efficient passenger vehicles while also meeting increased customer demands in fields such as safety, comfort, quality, and design. Over 12,000 journalists from 98 countries reported from this IAA. As a highlight, the 63rd IAA Cars featured the all-new "Hall of Electric Mobility", a first-timer to all Motor Shows worldwide. Additional IAA-premieres included the Electric Mobility Conference as well as the CarIT Conference dealing with the issue of connected driving.

Hybrids at 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show[edit]
European automakers demonstrated a new interest in hybrid and electric vehicles at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. For example, Mercedes-Benz arrived at the show with seven hybrids, including a luxury sedan concept vehicle called the F 700, a 17-foot (5.2 m)-long car that achieves a fuel economy of 44.4 miles per gallon (mpg). The research vehicle features a homogenous charge compression ignition engine, a technology that produces the high fuel economy of a diesel engine from a clean-burning gasoline engine. Mercedes has also mated its clean-diesel engine to an electric motor, creating the Bluetec hybrid. The company plans to introduce a gasoline-fueled hybrid SUV and sedan in 2009, followed by two Bluetec hybrids in 2010, one of which will achieve 51 miles per gallon of diesel fuel. In addition, the Mercedes Car Group exhibited its smart car in three new incarnations: an electric-only vehicle and both diesel and gasoline versions with "micro hybrid drive", a belt-driven starter and alternator that allows the engine to shut off at stops. See the DaimlerChrysler press releases about the auto show and the F700.
Opel, a subsidiary of General Motors, unveiled the Flextreme, a plug-in hybrid that can travel 34 miles (55 km) on its lithium-ion battery before a small diesel engine starts charging the battery.[11] Opel also unveiled the Corsa Hybrid, a coupe that combines a belt-driven starter and alternator with a lithium-ion battery.[12]
Volvo Cars, a division of Ford Motor Company, exhibited a plug-in hybrid with motors in each of the wheels. The Volvo ReCharge can travel about 60 miles (97 km) on battery power alone, using a lithium-polymer battery pack that can be recharged in a standard outlet.[13][14]
The Citroën C-Cactus regular diesel-electric hybrid vehicle debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The theme of the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show can best be summed up in one word: "electrification" Virtually every manufacturer has unveiled a vehicle using the latest battery technology,[15]

Why not get a quad (or few duals) with globs of RAM? That would satisfy both the single-cpu users and multi-cpu users. Last time I checked, anything more than 4-way was too expensive.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Johnson named nine new faces in his party for the quadrangular tournament in South Africa as he looks to kick on from finishing third in this year's RBS 6 Nations.
Lawrie, now 29, is one of those now in line for a senior debut having returned to Edinburgh in 2011 following two years in the English Championship with Doncaster.
And having represented Scotland at U18, U19, U21 and A team level the hooker insists his decision to seek first-team rugby rather than warm the bench was the right call.
"As a front row forward you need to be playing and scrummaging week in week out at the highest level you can," he told the Scotsman.
"So I went down to the Championship with a view to doing that and definitely benefited. You look at guys like Tom Youngs [Leicester and England selected for the British and Irish Lions], who spent time at Nottingham learning his craft, and that's what I had to do, so it was a good opportunity.
"I feel hugely excited at the opportunity I've been given, but I'm a huge believer that it's not the opportunity that counts but what you do with it.
"I'm 29 years old now and I am not going to South Africa just to learn about what's going on. I want to play. That [taking the jersey from Ross Ford] is what it's all about for me."

John Jenkins Could Be Perfect for Bulls
It's not easy finding game-changing talent with the 29th pick in the draft, and if the Chicago Bulls are being realistic, they realize that superstars aren't typically passed over 28 times just so they can get a hold of them.
So when it comes to deciding which player to take with their late first-round pick on June 28th, the Bulls are going to have to find a good balance between selecting the best player available and filling some of their impending offensive needs. You could argue that Vanderbilt shooting guard John Jenkins is both of those things.
"They said they need a shooter, a guy that can really open things up for D-Rose and just really open up the offense," Jenkins said about his recent visit with the Bulls.
It was apparently an interview that went well, and Jenkins possesses a skill set that could prove to be valuable for Chicago.
Put as simply as possible, Jenkins scores a whole bunch of points. In each of his three seasons at Vanderbilt, he shot over 45 percent from the field and over 40 percent from three, and if Chicago takes advantage of the fact that Kyle Korver's contract this next year isn't fully guaranteed, Jenkins could be a perfect, inexpensive replacement for him.
"I think every shooting guard in the draft thinks they're the best shooter, but I definitely work at it, to be the best," Jenkins said, and there are plenty of scouts who would call him the best shooter in the draft.
He's best spotting up off the ball, which is perfect for when Rose makes it back from his rehab sometime next spring. The knock, however, is shooting is sort of all Jenkins can do. He's using his workouts to try and prove to teams that he's capable of much more.
"I can handle the ball a little bit, and I'm definitely a willing defender and a good leader," Jenkins said. "I think teams are starting to notice that in these workouts."
If he can prove to be even mediocre at those two things, he could find himself ready to contribute for the Bulls early next season. He compares his game to some pretty accomplished scorers, not all of whom had to handle the ball or play great defense to enjoy long, successful NBA careers.
"I would say Ray Allen, and I like O.J. Mayo a lot, too," Jenkins said in reference to player comparisons. "Reggie Miller and Allan Houston, those are two guys from back in the day that I look up to."
Allen and Houston, for example, never did a whole lot more than score, either, and they did pretty well for themselves. The Bulls are reportedly seriously considering not picking up options on C.J. Watson and Ronnie Brewer for next season, and if neither is brought back and Korver is let go, too, Chicago will need to find some backcourt depth. Jenkins is one strong possibility to be precisely that, and his maturity and work ethic could make him a good fit for the Bulls and Tom Thibodeau's system. Plus, he really wants to be there.
"You see Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, all the great coaches there, the championship banners, so it's definitely motivation for me," Jenkins said. "I would love to play for them."
He's probably not going to be a superstar, but he could fill a serious need for the Bulls, and he seems like the kind of guy Chicago tends to fall in love with. If he's not the pick at #29, he'll at least be seriously considered, and that could very well be the best thing for both Chicago and Jenkins.

8 Questions from the Community
Can I set up multiple speakers and play music through the speakers at the same time?

What distance can you have the unit away from its music source?
I have been told its just a few feet away from the source, which is silly to be wireless then is it not?
- Asked by Gary B
- 20/11/2011
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerThat's impossible to answer definitively as it depends on your network setup. The key is how far the Philips would be from your nearest wireless router access point. And the maximum you could have will depend on a whole load of local parameters like the thickness and material of your walls, how many there are between the access point and the Philips and how many other WiFi access points there are nearby and on what channels. The best rough guide - and it's only rough - is that if your iPhone / iPod Touch WiFi works from where you intend to put the Philips, then the Philips will probably work too.But there are no guarantees!

The PWR Full Community page has updated info on the following highlights:
Full Community Team:
Youth Representatives from all 4 districts are charged with ensuring an inclusive, engaging experience for youth who attend.
Everyone (or every group) is responsible for coordinating travel to the event. Post on the Facebook Event page if you want to coordinate with other groups.
Each participant (or group) is in charge of their own reservations at the Double Tree. Rooms sleep 4. Youth and adults may ONLY share rooms if they are family.
The ratio of youth:sponsor is 1:4. We've chosen to increase the ratio to accomodate the fact that you can fit 4 youth to a room. I highly suggest finding a sponsor from your congregation.
Permission Form Deadline:
After registering online each youth must mail in the Code of Ethics and Medical/Photo release form to the PNWD Main Office by APRIL 10TH.
After registering online, each sponsor must mail in the Code of Ethics to the PNWD Main Office by APRIL 10TH.

Saturday Afternoon:
There will be alternative programming for anyone not interested in attending the business meetings

Winter Con's theme is Equality. 70 to 100 youth and sponsors from more than 15 congregations around the district will gather to engage in an intentional learning community: building relationships, deepening their spirituality and living in the mystery of Oneness. The experience is truly transformational. I encourage you to ask youth who've been to a con before to give you some highlights.

Reviews by vince4953529:More User Reviews:polloenfuegoOntario (Canada) 3.95/5 rDev -2.7% look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 From a 330 ml bottle. This beer pours a clear golden honey color with a fluffy white three finger head that breaks quickly leaving a small amount of lacing. The nose is yeast and hops with some floral notes as well. The taste follows the nose from the yeast and hops perspective, but there is also a nice spice taste that comes to the fore along with some hpps bitterness. The mouth feel is nice, medium carbonation and smooth which hides the high abv well. Overall not a bad beer. I think it is something I would enjoy more in the spring or summer, but that is just my preference. I have to say that the high abv was well hidden, and it was perhaps a little too easy to drink.

I don't get the other hop essentials, so im confused. rich flavor, creamy feel, vanilla before the bitter taste comes in. rich grain bill, oats maybe here, like a tripel, but not sweet at all, minus the candy sugar. interesting, but the alcohol is strong. its almost too strong. the taste finishes with a burn, and its moderately unflattering, but still unique to this brew alone with all that strange bitter. well carbonated and smooth, aside from the booze burn. less drinkable than many, but a complex and well refined glass of ale. ill be back.

Hi everyone. I really need help here. Just bought a new workstation with a nVidia Quadro 4000 and 2 30" U3011 Dell monitors. I need both monitors to run at full 2650 x 1600. Is that possible with the Quadro 4000 ? Please if someone can answer me ASAP because i have to change the graphic card option before it arrives to me. Thanks a lot. Erik S
Right, but my worries is more if it can handle 2 monitors at 2650x1600 each ? Someone said it could be a problem. 2 30" monitors both at 2650x1600 on one Quadro 4000 card.
Yes, It can can output to two 2560x1600 displays simultaneously. But that's the limit. It will only support two displays, not three as W1zzard said. I can't speak for performance though.
Yes. It's Fermi based. Plus, I looked at the spec sheet and accompanying PDF to confirm. Only two active displays are allowed.
Hi guys. Your great... Thats what i needed to hear. I just need 2x 30" connected to the Quadro 4000 at 2650x1600 and the third will be connected to a second GFX 590. Perfect.. thx a lot friends.

In just five because a man who packed up his family.
Move to Canada to study them expecting to basically right -- eulogy discover the.
Polar bears are there are more polar bears alive now than there were forty years ago and and that's because there was a global hunting -- in the early seventies and polar bear populations.
Exploded after that and that's not to say that global warming isn't retailer that polar bears aren't gonna have some trouble -- that going forward.
But what's -- -- -- is that this is essentially a heartening cheerful piece of information that somehow haven't managed to pierce the public consciousness.
Bob -- from the national resource defense cal so little without the admonish Joseph joins us now from watches a -- The stronger is not and an anti polar bear guy he's not a is an industry representative he's a guy was basically on your site is worried about the Colbert moved his family up there and found that they the population is increasing not decreasing what do you say.
Well I had read the book David but I love the subtitled my -- search for adventure and many marshmallows that's great but the reality is here that president George W.
Bush listed polar bears as threatened that he did it for good reason this is about ice it's about Arctic sea ice.
Polar bears need -- the way fish need water.
It's their home it's where they get their food it's where they raise their families it is literally their world.
That world is melting away.
Climate change is a threat these polar bears we need to stand up for these magnificent creatures we need to stand up to the threat of climate change cause we can see they're standing up for themselves litter.
-- in in that -- all but but that the evidence doesn't support your case that -- population is diminishing in fact.
Not only mr.
-- but there's a biologist named Mitch Taylor up and in northern Canada.
He said he was talking about the Intuit who or the Indians who live there he said the -- -- it were right.
There are just a few more bears there are a hell of a lot more bears so how do you dispute the evidence of people were actually on site seeing a growth in the population.
-- David those rolled numbers that amid stronger using their seven years old in fact that was he was just a violation.
I -- I was there but that's the exact same population that we had when President Bush decided these polar bears were threatened and here's the problem.
Mama bears are starving.
I hungry bear has a hard time getting pregnant in the danger we're looking at right now is that in twenty years according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
These mama bears will not be able to bear cubs and that's when we could lose two thirds of our pending polar bear.
I just I just want -- I've forgive me for focusing on the facts but facts have a reason and and -- and sometimes the reasoning behind facts are more important.
Then supposition.
Three years ago the official count in the northern part of Canada -- this study was being done.
Place a number polar bears in that region of 14100.
That number has jumped to 2100.
From the latest surveys this is not something seven years ago this is current.
No you're right David -- you have different situations in about five different regions were actually seen declines in polar -- popular all right -- -- a lot of second let me just copyright -- Bob -- doesn't that mean at least that that -- that you put out is misleading you should have you should have mentioned that in some places the population is growing.
Will we get our our information from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and these are their conclusions based on now I won three guidance from your other regions where the population of Poehler vs growing as you just admitted.
Right they're nineteen regions where we have polar bears and in about five of them populations are declining.
In other areas we don't have enough information are there are some married information is contradicting.
No it's not contradicting -- David a different situation in different places because of the honey band where we're seeing some.
Restoration of these numbers but you're talking about the future when you look at the future and you see that we've lost a third of our Arctic sea ice in the last thirty years that's not our number that's coming from the Pentagon which -- -- satellite over that -- fourteen times a day.
And it's been doing different there -- five year well.
It's it's a complex it is I agree -- -- it's a complex subject you know lord knows -- is a very complex subject but.
You I think you deserved.
You you owe it to the viewers to give a more complete analysis when you talk about the polymers because all the numbers are not in agree.
Well the numbers that aren't in -- aware that ice is going in the future and every scientist whose looks at -- that ice is collapse the number of all -- -- targets out the numbers are not in mayor and that's and that -- some people see the polar bear population.
You can dispute that but the numbers -- -- from people who wore on said Bob always a pleasure to see from the national human -- -- appreciate -- coming and what we have news developing on.

Bran Van 3000 – Drinking in L.A. : Super Slaker Song
by Niki N. Phaser on Jun.26, 2009, under Ignored-Gold
Do you get depressed when you're drunk ? If you are one of those persons, then you really shouldn't listen to this feel-good/feel-drunk/feel-high hit. The Canadian collective Bran Van 3000, composed of a lot of hands and voices, have certainly did their job in the history of music by giving us this magical "put your hands in the air and a joint between your fingers" chillout piece. Constructed on a what could be a hip-hop beat, Drinking in L.A. could very well be the anthem of the slaker culture of the 90′s, the musical version of a Richard Linklater underground cult movie. It's a weird mix of guitars and background wailing choral voices and spoken lyrics that generates a special kind of brand of Hollywood bohemianism. It's quite a reflective ballad. The chorus ("What the hell I am doing drinking in L.A. at 26 ?") is the question that every confused ex-teenager might ask himself, of course changing L.A. to whatever his location is. It's about seeing your life melting away, but still not finding the ambition to start doing something, despite plenty of false beginnings ("But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day"). It will get you a bit melancholic, but it will also make wanna light a new one and enjoy the weather. At least, for today. If it means anything to you, it's one of Moby's favourite tracks.

Adenoids and tonsils are often talked about together. You can see your tonsils in the back of your throat, but where are your adenoids? For that matter, what are your adenoids? Let's find out.
The adenoids (say: ADD-eh-noids) are a patch of tissue that protects kids from getting sick. They sit in the back of the nasal cavity.
Although you can easily see your tonsils by standing in front of a mirror and opening your mouth wide, you can't see your adenoids this way. Like tonsils, adenoids help keep your body healthy by trapping harmful bacteria and viruses that you breathe in or swallow.
Adenoids do important work as infection fighters for babies and little kids. But they become less important once a kid gets older and the body develops other ways to fight germs.
Adenoids usually shrink after about age 5, and by the teenage years they often practically disappear.
Because adenoids trap germs that enter the body, adenoid tissue sometimes temporarily swells (gets puffier) as it tries to fight off an infection. The swelling sometimes gets better, but sometimes adenoids can get infected themselves.
Swollen or enlarged adenoids are common. When this happens, the tonsils may also get swollen, too. Swollen or infected adenoids can make it tough to breathe and cause these problems:
Tell a grownup if you have any of these problems, so he or she can take you to the doctor.
At the doctor's office, the doctor will ask you how things feel in your ears, nose, and throat, and then take a look at these parts. Your doctor will also feel your neck near your jaw.
Your doctor might you for an X-ray to take a look at the size of the adenoids. If it looks your adenoids are infected, the doctor may give you an antibiotic (a germ-fighting medicine) to take.
Sometimes doctors recommend removing the adenoids if medicine doesn't help or if they're making a kid sick a lot. This means going into the hospital and having surgery.
Sometimes, tonsils and adenoids are removed at the same time when a kid has a tonsillectomy (say: tahn-suh-LEK-tuh-me) and an adenoidectomy (say: add-eh-noid-EK-tuh-me). Both are common surgeries for kids to have.
During these surgeries, kids get special medicine (anesthesia) that makes them fall asleep and ensures that they don't feel any pain while the operation is being done. Usually, neither operation requires stitches. The cut areas will heal on their own. It takes a little time, though. After surgery, a kid will have a sore throat and will need to eat soft foods for a while.
Most kids are feeling back to normal in less than a week. And do they miss their adenoids? Not one bit!
