Okay; do a jive basic to what I typed....the "yah-tee-taketa" being the triple step. |
Hey...I was instructed to "sing" it when I dance. The song is by Allan Tornsberg.... (he had cha cha as "1, 2, 3 ding ding" - lol) |

Never would have gotten that one... |
Was this one of your coachings? How are they going? How were NY lessons...sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up while you were here. Boston...I promise! |

That sort of thing doesn't work for me; only number counts of the beat works with jive, or east coast swing. |

Getting cash for crashed gadgets |
Why pay to recycle? Web-based services will pay you for mailing in old electronics. |
The new BuyMyTronics, (via EcoGeek) from the same people behind BuyMyBrokeniPod, will accept game consoles from a GameBoy to an Xbox, as well as iPods and iPhones. According to the site's online estimate, a dead Wii in the original box would fetch $62.25, sent via PayPal or check. If you like the deal, just sign up and... |
SecondRotation also pays for gaming consoles, PDAs, phones, camcorders, GPS devices, and digital cameras. But its estimate rated the value of the same broken Wii as a gaping zero. |
Too bad I can't find a site that wants my TI 99/4-A, circa 1981. I guess that's better fit for a vintage computer sale, Craigslist, FreeCycle, or eBay. |
At least someone will give me a kickback for mailing in an old Motorola RAZR V3. CellforCash would pay $13, SimplySellular would fork over $23, and SellYourCell would offer $20. SecondRotation beat them all with its $30 trade-in estimate. BuyMyTronics is working to add trade-in options for cell phones, laptops, digital... |
Of course, you can also recycle a wireless phone without getting paid, or pay a small fee to GreenCitizen if you find walking into their San Francisco or Silicon Valley trade-in shop convenient. Trade-in services, including curbside pickup, from HP and Dell have good reputations. |
Services such as these either refurbish and resell used gear, donate the old tech to schools or needy nonprofit groups, or send the stuff straight into something like a meat grinder for hardware, later reclaiming valuable metals to sell. SecondRotation resells the items on eBay, as does BuyMyTronics, which also donates... |
However, many other recycling services make it a practice to ship used electronics overseas, where it's likely to poison the health of people and ecosystems. The Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition lists recyclers services that recycle responsibly. |

Published: 18 May 2009 |
The protozoan pathogens Leishmania major, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi (the Tritryps) are parasites that produce devastating human diseases. These organisms show very unusual mechanisms of gene expression, such as polycistronic transcription. We are interested in the study of tRNA genes, which are transcrib... |
Our analysis indicated the presence of 83, 66 and 120 genes in L. major, T. brucei and T. cruzi, respectively. These numbers include several previously unannotated selenocysteine (Sec) tRNA genes. Most tRNA genes are organized into clusters of 2 to 10 genes that may contain other Pol III-transcribed genes. The distribu... |
A low number of tRNA genes is present in Tritryps. The overall weak synteny that they show indicates a reduced importance of genome location of Pol III genes compared to protein-coding genes. The fact that some of the differences between isodecoder genes occur in the internal promoter elements suggests that differentia... |

How many people visit the Oktoberfest annually? |
The common question is how many people visit the Oktoberfest annually? This is different from year to year because of dates. An example is last year which had an extra day due to a public holiday on the Monday. |
This years official figure was 6.4 million visitors and they drank 6.9 million litres of beer. There is more information on the Munich Oktoberfest in the menu bar. |
The well known Maß Krug usually made of glass holds a litre if filled correctly. All breweries print their company brand image on the glass, and because of this, many attempts are made to steal a Krug souvenir. This year about 110 thousand disappeared, a lot less than other years. Anybody seen carrying a Krug is stoppe... |
Many visitors are not used to the extra strong Munich beer, and with all the wonderful atmosphere at the Oktoberfest many people drink too much, this year, nearly 8,500 were helped by the Bavarian Red Cross. |
With Journalists from all over the world, nearly 3,300 visited, there was plenty of information distributed around to local TV channels, newspapers and radio. |

1. Goodbye, good riddance. |
2. Why in the world would the government tear down a cool old building surrounded by vacant lots? To expand seagull habitat? Utter folly. |

5. Tear it down! The city screwed up when they denied Gatehouse the TIFF and the Kimpton Palomar project was cancelled. Maybe they could Gatehouse and Kimpton to come back. |
6. Knock this piece of crap down for God's sake. |
7. If Sidney Hih had been the birthplace of the Tea Party, instead of having '60's counter culture connections, the right-wingers here would favor making it a national shrine. Everything is political these days. |

8. Many well known local bands, some national, have spent time there. It was one of the only places bands could practice in town and made for a pretty great place even though it was run down. About 7 years ago the city began chasing musicians out by ticketing them for noise violations. Who are they bothering? |

• The Hih was crammed again with artists and musicians in 2002-03 and the cops would invent emergencies -- lie -- to get upstairs and write noise complaint tickets while the patio at McGillicuddy's across the river was blaring away ... Summer of 2003 was the last hurrah and the gendarmes harassed the musicians for ... |
It was over sometime in 2004, everybody out and moving on. It was never meant to be preserved -- and I'm fairly sure these arts people in the mall or the historical preservationists have no clue what they're trying to preserve. It was never to be defined ... One last laugh. |
9. There's a reality hear that needs to be addressed. First, a decade ago Mayor Johnny O. (a liberal democrat) decided to tear down a freeway spur to create the vast empty wasteland on which these building sit. If I'm a developer I'm not going to want a parcel of land on which I have to build around a group of dilapi... |
The second reality is this, without proper maintenance they will start falling down on their own. That time is not far away. It doesn't really matter that it was an incubator for artists or has a history. It's going to happen. So, unless someone with deep pockets decides to buy them and renovate them soon (not seei... |
10. I'll bet the dems have a boatload of secret, unaccounted-for union money left over from yesterday's election. What better use than to save an old pile of masonry? |

My idea of a perfect Sunday morning is... |
Taking a long brisk walk and then heading home to make chocolate chip pancakes with the kids. |
Which living person do you most admire and why? |
I most admire my husband for his ability to be an amazing father and supportive partner. |
The best advice I've ever gotten from a kid is.. |
"It's no big deal"... kid's help put life into perspective. |
The funniest thing my kids did this week was... |
All three got along! |
A latte with an extra shot of espresso then hit the to-do list. |
What always puts a smile on your face? |
Hanging at the beach on a warm summer day with my girlfriends and the kids. |
