daylight savings time 2008
Daylight savings was thought up in an era when the only energy consumption in the typical home was lights or a radio. Today we have lights, computers, TVs, stereo systems, cooking, heating, cooling. Daylight savings, great if your an evening person, start work late (after 8.30am) or don't work. Me I do all my activity before work (running, cycling). Daylight Savingsis the first love result of an end-to-end DIY music production. From the artist: Here are 11 songs from the deepest reaches of my heart.

Keating Five
McCain, who had been a less aggressive advocate for Mr. Keating than the others, was reprimanded only for “poor judgment” and was re-elected the next year. McCain wanted the auditors to let Lincoln continue making real estate loans without carrying out credit checks, a clear violation of the law. This is also the practice that has led to the current U.S. McCain was severely reprimanded by the Senate for a serious lapse in judgment. Of the Keating 5, McCain was by far the closest to Keating, received the most in campaign contributions, which he never returned, and was given numerous elaborate gifts.
McCain admits he hasn’t. That means he is not a Baptist, and only said it, thinking that's what "Baptist" people wanted to hear. McCain has nothing to fear from the so-called Keating Five scandal. McCain was right in the middle of the whole stinking mess. Unfortunately it seems to me that the majority of the electorate has trouble looking back so far!

John Hamm - Mad Men
John Hamm is a cocky socail analysist who wins over the heart of liberal Rebecca Hall. Then there is psychologist Bill Paxton, who's character is the most boring of the batch. John Hamm and Russell MacLellan have been spearheading the effort, aided by current politicians and others. John Hamm, the actor playing Don Draper, hits the role with pitch-perfect precision. He reminds me of Gregory Peck, with Peck's silence and soulfulness, (he even looks like Peck) but with a better developed shadow.

Ephelides
Ephelides and solar lentigines are benign pigmented spots, which are currently associated with an increased risk of skin cancer. These two pigmented spots are known to be discriminated by their clinical, histological, and electron microscopic characteristics, even though occasional misclassification can occur because of their similarity.
Ephelides are not permanent, and will fade or disappear completely if there is no exposure to the sun. Some people of mixed races who can tan darkly will freckle with minimal sun expsore. Ephelides comes from the Greek word for freckle: ephelis. The principal characteristic of this form of freckle is its color (red or light brown). Ephelides were seen in 16%, lentigines solaris in 62.4%, and lentigines seniles in 33.2%. All signs of skin aging increased significantly with age and so did lentigines solaris, seniles, and actinic keratoses.
Ephelides were not infrequently observed in our children (prevalence r . Ephelides, are flat red or light-brown spots that typically appear during the sunny months and fade in the winter. Lentigines, are small tan, brown, or black spots which tend to be darker than an ephelis-type freckle and which do not fade in the winter. Ephelides are common in lighter type skin in individuals who sunburn easily. Lentigines usually appear later in life and can occur in all skin types.
Ephelides appear as macular brown pigmentation in sun-exposed areas, usually on the face. They are more common in light-skinned individuals, and the tendency to have freckles is a heritable condition. Ephelides are more common in those with light complexions (although are found on people with a varriety of skin tones) and with the regular use of sunblock, can be suppressed. Ephelides appear as flat brown pigmentation in sun-exposed areas, usually on the face. They are much more common in fair-skinned individuals, and a propensity to have freckles is an inheritable condition.

First day of fall 2008
September 22nd. is also known as the autumnal equinox. On this day, the night and day are nearly of the same length and the Sun crosses the celestial equator.
After today the nights grow longer. Daylight at the equinox is slightly longer than the night, partly because the Earth's atmosphere bends sunlight hidden just under the horizon.
At the poles the equinox marks the transition from 24 hours of night to 24 hours of daylight. And at the equator, the equinox marks the moment when the Sun is directly overhead.
Autumnal equinox/Mabon -- Pagan/Wiccan celebration of the time when day and night are of equal duration; a harvest celebration. Fans may see rare summer weather at homecoming game autumnal equinox 2008 last day of summer 2008
Let's celebrate the arrival of the autumn. In Chinese saying, autumn is the most romantic season, autumn in chinese is 秋, (qiu - sound like chiu).

Deng Linlin - the talented young gymnast
Deng LinLin's ability to bring home respectable numbers on VT, BB and FX must have been considered to valuable to ignore, especially since these are strong areas for the USA. Deng Linlin is NOT 16 she looks even younger than He Kexin which is quite funny actually. The Chinese are sporting their usual ugly red crushed velvet type leos with the gold swirl things.
Deng Linlin nailing her bars first up was critical to us today. Deng Linlin’s bars and Li Shanshan’s bars both won’t be usable for team finals, but for preliminaries, because Deng as the lead-off gymnast hit her routine successfully, we could do without Li Shanshan going up on bars [as the fifth gymnast].
Deng Linlin (Chinese: 邓琳琳) is a Chinese artistic gymnast. In 2008, she won World Cup titles at the event in Moscow on the balance beam and the floor exercise.
She has been named to the Chinese 2008 Olympic Team.

Falun Gong
Falun Gong is not a religion and it has nothing to do Lord Buddha. There is therefore no neccessity for Falun Gong disciples to understand the teaching of Buddism. Falun Gong offered to fill both a physical need, through its exercises, and a spiritual need, through its moral teachings. Falun Gong (which, incidentally in Russia consists mostly of ethnically Russian adepts) have been pursuing its own personal vendetta against Chinese government, and has successfully recruited most of human rights.
Falun Gong simply denies science, appeals to venerated Chinese traditions, and uses the fictional face created by founder Li Hongzhi, as well as his also-failed predictions, as a romantic base for acceptance. Falun Gong has now become a major issue affecting China-US relations. The US side should fully realize the harm caused by Falun Gong cult to the general public, including the harm to the people and the society of the US, and respect the position of the Chinese Government in handling the issue. Falun Gong essentially involves a religious life style that includes an elaborate moral and cosmological system, as well as meditational practices based on Qigong. Practitioners stress its positive effects on their health.
Falun Gong publications call the practice "the most remarkable system for the improvement of body, mind and spirit" and claim that the practice is neither religious nor political. Falun Gong is a spiritual or quasi-religious group. China's Communist Party -- which still runs the Chinese government -- banned the group in 1999, and has gone to genocidal lengths to persecute, eradicate, and eliminate the group. Falun Gong’s American presence has not been without controversy. Some local chapters have claimed they were denied admission to Chinese New Year’s parades because of Beijing’s influence over Chinese-American businesses.

Cindy McCain Has An Affair?
Cindy met John McCain in April 1979 at a military reception in Hawaii and they were married on May 17, 1980 in Phoenix.
After several miscarriages, Cindy gave birth to her first three children: Meghan (born 1984), John Sidney IV (known as "Jack") (born 1986), and James (known as "Jimmy") (born 1988). By early 1984, she had moved back to Arizona; her parents lived across the street and helped her raise the children while her husband was frequently in Washington.
Now the rumours is Cindy McCain has been having an extramarital affair! Its rumored that an unnamed maryland divorce lawyer has stated that Cindy Mccain had some unnamed affair.
Maryland divorce lawyer? May be a rumour is just a rumour. But what would have happened if there was? I think people like to start these stories of husbands and wives not getting along, cheating on each other and everything else.
Anyway, Cindy is not running for the presidential post, only her husband is. So why care so much of her sex life uh?
