Olympic Trials - Swimming

Olympic Trials - Swimming June 29th, 2008 8:35 pm by Muddle of Pudd (Mainly dealing with Michael Phelps) It’s that time of year again where I expound on my ever increasing love of Michael Phelps. I know that this is actually breaking my rule of “not crushing on athletes anymore sole for Sidney Crosby” but Mike has been my guy since I was 13. I made the law without factoring this in so now I decided to add an amendment. (This is why monarchies failed). So now it’s Sid and Mike. Phelps was sp read

EVOLUTION: Building the Tree of Life Genome by Genome

Via: Science Phylogenetic studies have gone 'omic. Whereas researchers used to be satisfied comparing one gene, or a few, to sort out the branching of the tree of life, the push now among those building phylogenies is to consider whole genomes--at the very least, dozens of genes and thousands of DNA bases--in establishing kinships among flora and fauna. In this way, evolutionary biology is joining the bandwagon of data-intensive studies pioneered by genomics. Thanks to one such phylogenomic an read

So where did birds come from - and where are they going?

There’s an interesting article doing the rounds at the moment that looks at the early history of bird evolution and speciation by studying avian genetics. Simply put (which is the only way most of us CAN put it, I suspect) geneticists have analysed the make-up of specific slices of DNA from 169 species and then compared the slices with each other. They have then recorded how closely the components that make up the slices match each other (or differ from each other) and have drawn some (or, ‘dra read

The future is now: Encouraging younger genealogists

Some of today's most well-known genealogists got hooked on family history research as young students in elementary or junior high school. They have translated this passion and acquired skill into contemporary research that in many cases has benefited international researchers.Very young when they caught the genealogy bug, people like Steve Morse (One Step fame), Bennett Greenspan (Family Tree DNA read

Genea-Jamboree: Day 1

BURBANK, Calif.--The 39th Annual Southern California Genealogical Jamboree got underway this morning at the Burbank Airport Marriott Hotel. The Jamboree began with a class on "Beginning Genealogy," which for reasons I noted last night I did not attend. More about what I did instead later. I went downstairs about 12:15 PM and spotted Randy Seaver at the check-in desk. We chatted for a few minutes, and then went off in different directions. We would meet up again later. The hotel is under recon read

Revising HIV's History

Via: Science The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) responsible for most of the AIDS cases in the world infected people approximately 100 years ago, more than 20 years earlier than previously believed, according to findings presented here this week at the Evolution 2008 meeting. Its lesser known cousin, HIV-2, jumped into humans decades later, from a monkey species that carried the virus for just a couple of hundred years, not the millions of years researchers had assumed, according to othe read

La presentazione di The Cleveland Show, lo spin-off de I Griffin

“I Griffin erano solo l’inizio: preparatevi al Cleveland Show!”. Questo “avvertimento” compare nella pagina provvisoria della Fox sul suo nuovo cartoon, spin-off di “Family Guy” , in onda dalla primavera del 2009 (nell’attesa, Peter e famiglia torneranno a settembre con la settima stagione delle loro avventure politically scorrect, mentre Italia1 trasmette i vecchi episodi il sabato alle 13) e di cui, dopo il salto, potete vedere una presentazione fatta dallo stesso Peter e Cleveland. Nato an read

L'ultima campanella

A tutti voi, dolci creature che con me avete imparato ad apprezzare le meraviglie dell'arte contemporanea, che mi avete seguita ed ascoltata in questi nove mesi di lavoro sottopagato, che mi avete allietato con le vostre gioiose grida di entusiasmo, che avete reso più e più pantaloni del mio armadio degni di essere indossati da un figlio dei fiori di Berkeley. A tutti voi un saluto, che è anche una preghiera e una speranza. A Micheal, Kevin, Maverick, Chantal, Emily, Savana, Brian, Samantha, J read

Fire In The Hole!

Fire In The Hole! June 6, 2008 – 11:19 pm Piccolo Spoleto’s Spotlight Concert Series ended with quite a bang tonight! The Balkan String Quartet, a group of Serbian and, well, Balkan musicians currently based in Atlanta, graced the stage at New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist Church with their uncompromising fire and deliciously reckless approach. There were a few fairly troubling issues of intonation which seemed to mount as the first half of the program progressed, but after a short break the beast read

Dennis Hopper in Crash

Come volevasi dimostrare le uniche notizie che girano sono quelle sui nuovi casting, per lo meno oggi ce n'è una abbastanza importante che non fa che confermare la potenzialità di un prodotto che sarà sicuramente di qualità: Crash. L'ultima volta sul piccolo schermo io me lo ricordo nel Day 1 di 24 quando impersonava il supercattivo della prima stagione, Victor Drazen, ma nel frattempo è stato uno dei protagonisti di E-Ring, lo ritroveremo l'anno prossimo nelle parti di un produttore musicale i read

Saturday Night At The Movies In memory of George Carlin: 7 movies you can’t see on TV By Dennis Hartley Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck-George Carlin As I am sure you are aware by now, one of the last living legends of American comedy went up to the roof last Sunday…and got stuck. I’m still reeling (and he’s still stuck). I can’t really add much to what was already said here on this site earlier this week in read

TV Junkie: Weekend Edition

Kind of a slow weekend ahead folks, even on the movie channels, Sunday's programming is particularly deplorable. Rejoice though, in the news that Sony, within the next three years, will be offering a video-downloading service through all its key products, including its televisions, computers, music players and videogame devices. It plans to give most of its products network and wireless capability in that same window of time. Yup, download Hollywood movies through your PS3, etc. Tonight 8:00p read

Random Photos Part One

Denzel Washington and his wife Paulette get the top spot. 25 years of marriage in Hollywood is like 4,000 years in the world of "everyday people." Congratulations. Judging by the number of fans in this photo, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the singer Alizee is fairly popular in Mexico City. It has been a long time since I have seen Candace Cameron Bure out. She looks fabulous. She actually looks better than she did a few years ago. It was like a Full House reunion. The only t read

Songs That Move Me, 70-61

70. The Love You Save - Jackson 5 It's true; I could sing every part of this song except Michael's, and often did sing along, especially Jermaine's part. Feeling: Joyous. (starts at 3:05, after some other J5 music) 69. The Supremes - Remove This Doubt. Back in the bad old days of romance, there would be songs that I would play that reflected my state of mind. This was one. Great strings. Later covered by Elvis Costello. Feeling: melancholy. 68. Levon-Elton John I love it, pretty much for rea read

First SNL With Carlin (1975)

[A special thanks to Ted Zee for inviting me as a guest blogger for BSLS. Hope I can do his site proud.] I would fight and fight hard to stay up. I had my Saturday night ritual. Start watching Saturday Night Live at 11:30 then wrestling at midnight, switch back and forth between commercials and if my plans worked out, watch a late night horror film like the original, silent Phantom of the Opera on PBS or channel 57. So much for plans. My seven year old body ached for sleep so I rarely made it. read
