Not a mad cow

Horsing Around

The pictures are a bit light so you would have to tilt your screen a bit.

In perhaps one of the oddest moments of the week, 50 Cent’s crew got tangled up with longtime basketball announcer Marv Albert backstage at “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday (November 18). 50 and Marv both appeared on the show that night, and according to the Los Angeles Times, Albert received a chilly reception from 50’s entourage when he arrived at the studio. Apparently, they didn’t recognize the venerable voice of the NBA, and they were under the impression he was trying to impose on 50’s interview. So when the broadcaster entered the building, what went down? Punches were thrown, obscenities were spat out and things got quite hostile.

Although the details remain unclear, the 68-year-old Albert was in the middle of it all. Even when a Kimmel staffer identified Albert, 50’s entourage remained unswayed. Somehow, Albert got out of there unscathed, remarking, “Did you see that? I thought they were kidding, then I realized they weren’t.”

Both Albert and 50 were interviewed later and neither made any reference to the incident. In their defense, most people know Albert’s voice more than his face. In fact, Albert could have probably avoided the whole incident had he simply shouted “LeBron James for three! Yes!”

Sometimes you find the most random films on Youtube…
Like this for example, just sit back and let your jaw dangle in aw…then ROFL!

Thanks for today!
I saw my previous post was very popular this evening, despite the topic about the disgusting little witch bitch.
Instead, as a treat I will let you set your eyes on this random beauty
Gnight and good luck!

Urgh, I just figured that maybe I should extend my categories a bit, like add “Hot Girls” and “FilmClips”…

Any opportunity to feature Rhianna here on the pages of this blog, we will take it.

If there is no reason, then we will create it.In this case on  Monday November 16, 2009, Rihanna performed at the Brixton Academy with star-studded guests including guest rappers Jay-Z and the Young Jeezy along for the ride.

Rhianna’s rider included a very comfy multi-coloured arm-chair. At 11pm, on the way out the driver hadn’t closed the trunk of the van and Rhianna’s luggage spilled out all over the road.

 After the luggage was locked away, Rihanna and her entourage headed for some sushi at Nozomi.

 They then headed to the Royal fave Mahiki nightclub to party until 3am, where she was joined by Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

The Swiss company Heads came up last year with a brilliant identity system for Namics, based on the inputs from the company’s employees.

They just won a reddot design award to be awarded the next December the 9th. Congratulations.

“Thriller” with glitter and the distinctive Karen O edge.

Does anybody else find this utterly fucking terrifying? It’s like they looked at the cancelled BBC Freeview advert and thought “I know where they went wrong, they did it with human heads and not bunnies…”

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!

Artist: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Album: It’s Blitz!
Release Date: April 13th, 2009

Track Listing:

Musique Review Rating:

___________________________________________________

Lets take a look at the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and their third studio album entitled “It’s Blitz!” It’s Blitz has a different sound to previous albums of the YYYs. It features more of an electronic pop-settled mood on most of the albums tracks like “Runaway,” “Skeletons,” “Soft Shock,” and most notable the song “Hysteric” that is reminiscent of the famous single “Maps” which placed the YYYs literally on the map. With our favourite songs being “Dull Life,” “Zero,” and Hysteric,” Musique Reviews gives this album a MR Rating of 8.5 out 10.

We still prefer listening to Karen O’s raw vocal screeching from that of “Fever to Tell” and “Show Your Bones,” However it still remains as an amazing album to played at any dance party, and a definite buy for any fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

If you enjoy puzzles, playing with legos, or any games or tasks that require connecting pieces together, you will love adding lines to your irrigation system. There are little parts called connectors and sprinkler heads. Put those together with tubing and you have a water supply for your new, garden plants.

I think the drip irrigation system is way cool. Programmed correctly, it will deliver the right amount of water on the days you specify, which is important in the desert because water is precious.

A small tip that might be helpful if the tubing you are working with is very stiff and difficult to attach. Take a small dish of water and heat it to the boiling point in the microwave. Dip the tubing end into the hot water for a few seconds. It should slide easily onto the connectors or sprinker heads.

The video below shows in detail how to add that line!

When your kids got to many heads, you should throw it back. @RayBurgesa

Inside the cell, things like proteins and DNA are formed by sequencing parts together in just the right way so that the sequence will have biological function. If the sequence is wrong, because some component of the sequence is the wrong piece or is in the wrong place, the sequence has no function. It’s just like writing English or computer instructions.

To calculate the probabilities, you have to use a rule called “The Product Rule”, because the order of the parts in the sequence (“permutation”) is important. For example, the odds of getting the sequence “ABC” just by choosing three random letters is 1/26 x 1/26 x 1/26 = 1/17576. Things get very unlikely quite quickly, don’t they?

So, take a look at Neil Simpson’s latest post, where he uses cards instead of letters or amino acids, but the principle is exactly the same. His calculation is a little different because the odds actually go down a little each time you choose a card. So, for the first card, it’s 1/52, but the second card is only 1/51, and so on…

Excerpt:

This is by no means a definitive argument against evolution, but I offer it to put the “time, chance and random mutation” theory in perspective.

Everyone knows that micro-evolution occurs, such as dog breeding and bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics.  But macro-evolutionists believe that with enough time an amazingly complex single cell of unknown origin could make lots and lots of small changes, develop reproductive capacities and eventually become humans, elephants, caterpillar/butterflies, chameleons and so much more.

Let’s consider something very simple.  Imagine that you shuffle a deck of cards.  If you shuffled it one time per second, how often would all the cards go back into their original order? (Ace of spades, King of spades, etc.)  The math is simply 1/52 (the odds of the Ace of spades being on top) times 1/51 times 1/50, etc. I left out the Jokers to make it easier.

Guess how many years it takes?

Click through to see his calculations, or do them yourself! It’s easy and fun! Neil has a pretty fun discussion going on with the angry atheists who frequent his site, too.

This is everyone should learn probabilities in school, because then we can really talk about these things with our neighbor. Shalini can even do biochemistry, so she can actually explain it even better than I can!

Remember, we are looking for a specific sequence of cards – the sequence that the cards originally came in. In this example, it’s that sequence and that sequence alone that has biological function. The other sequences are just junk – they have no biological function. And most importantly, you don’t get to save any of the cards that are in the right spots because the sequence as a whole has no present function that would allow it to be “saved” for later. You have to re-select all 52 cards each time at random!

A typical protein isn’t made of 52 parts, it’s made of around 200, and there are 80 possible amino acids, not just 26! And in the case of proteins,the vast majority of the possible sequences that you can make won’t have any biological function at all! (And there are many more problems besides, such as chirality, cross reactions, and bonding type). Even if you filled the whole universe with reactants and reacted it all at Planck time, for the entire history of the universe, you still wouldn’t be likely to get even one protein!
