Off late, acts of public in-decency have been on the rise. Ofcourse, am learning something from every one of these situations. every one of these situations remind me of "See No Evil Hear No Evil Speak No Evil" I can easily see no evil by closing my eyes. But closing my ears is not so easy. Only yesterday, someone was SHOUTING on the phone. Since the N73 engineers have designed the headphones allow any noise :-), it is all the more difficult ! I have an idea that am sure is easily implementable in Singapore to-be-continued if you have not seen http://rudesingaporeans.blogspot.com/ , do so ! ![]() 0 comments 9) 1984 by George Orwell: 10) spirited away or Haibane Renmei: thanks to mr. yegge for the animation recommendations. let us see

problems.
26) Homepage des »Bund für Gesundheit e.V.« WWW.BFGEV.DE: Type the description here. 27) How to Think Like a Computer Scientist - Andamooka Reader: 28) Salon.com Life | The failure of zero tolerance: A nationwide crackdown on students has resulted in disproportionate
punishments and racial profiling.
29) soilandhealth.org : Links Welcome Page: Type the description here. 30) Primer - Getting ino the semantic web and RDF using N3: The world of the semantic web, as based on RDF, is really simple at
the base. This article shows you how to get started. It uses a
simplified teaching language -- Notation 3 or N3 -- which is
basically equivalent to RDF in its XML syntax, but easier to scribble
when getting started. 31) Life On The Internet: Could Blogging Assist KM?: But what if the two – blogging and KM – got together? That is, what if we took the technology that allows Bloggers to quickly annotate their journeys through the web with information about the whys and wherefores with a KM system that allowed their organizational colleagues to use the weblogs as a source of expertise? Consider: -- If experts could use blogging software that was part of their normal work environment, probably part of their browser, to note and annotate web sites they wanted to share as part of their area of expertise (note the expert decides what to share, avoiding privacy problems); 32) Travel to Freiburg - Germany: More than Black Forest cake and cuckoo clocks. 33) Karl\'s Zone : EUROPE'S MOST SCENIC RAIL ROUTES: Type the description here. 34) Travel to Munich (München) Germany: Bavaria's cosmopolitan city has a wonderful pedestrian-friendly core

The article mentions the Muttart Conservatory
(http://www.gov.edmonton.ab.ca/comm_services/city_op_attractions/mutta
rt/), which is where Cheryl and I were married! 37) Germany Decries Artist\'s Performance: He has said the performance, advertised with posters around the city, was aimed at getting people to think about how they associate with nature. Those who came to watch seemed to agree. "It raises these kinds of questions about what are the limits of ethics and what are the limits of art. It raises questions about our relationship to animal life," said Chris Boland of Detroit, who is studying in Berlin for the summer. "That's what art is supposed to do." Angela Rosenthal of Berlin, another onlooker, said she had no right to criticize the performance because she eats meat and uses cosmetics that are sometimes tested on animals.
"What is art? I don't know," she said.
38) The German-Hollywood Connection: Type the description here. 39) www.oreilly.com -- In Memory of Frank Willison: Of all of us at O'Reilly, Frank is the one we'd most have imagined
growing old and grandfatherly, dispensing to successive generations
the wisdom, humor and caring that he shared with all of us. He is (I
use the present tense deliberately) one of those people who is an
inspiration to us all, someone who demonstrates convincingly how to
be a wonderful human being.

came across while searching for Einstein's quote... all things
simple... 41) Fluency - Foreign Language Learning - What is fluency?: One of the questions* that I get asked all the time is How long will
it take me to speak French fluently? Unfortunately, the answer to
this question is difficult for several reasons:
There's no universal definition of fluency
Every person has a different language-learning potential
It depends a great deal on where and how one studies
* Wondering what the other questions are? Read my FAQ.
This article is an attempt to provide you with some information about
these issues - the what, when, where, and how of fluency - so that
you can determine your own "fluency potential." :-)

44) THE MERCK MANUAL--Home Edition, Sec. 4, Ch. 38, Occupational Lung Diseases: Occupational lung diseases are caused by harmful particles, mists,
vapors, or gases inhaled while a person works. Where in the airways
or lungs an inhaled substance ends up and what type of lung disease
develops depend on the size and kind of particles inhaled. Larger
particles may get trapped in the nose or large airways, but the
smallest ones reach the lungs. There, some particles dissolve and may
be absorbed into the bloodstream; most solid particles that don't
dissolve are removed by the body's defenses. 45) Shirley\'s Wellness Cafe: Holistic Health for People and Animals: Type the description here. 46) Log on to Premji\'s 10-point success mantra: WIPRO chairman Azim H Premji, one of India's most successful entrepreneurs, on Friday prescribed a 10-point recipe for success, based on the lessons he had learnt during his last 35 years in the organisation.
"What saddens me most is to see young, bright people getting disillusioned by a few initial setbacks and slowly turning cynical and some of them want to migrate to America in the hope this is the solution," he said adding, it required courage to keep dreaming. Stressing on the importance of "dreams", Premji said they were most needed not when everything was going right, but when everything was going wrong.
"Being the best in the country is not enough: one has to be the best in the
world," he said, adding that excellence was a moving target and one had to
constantly raise the bar. 47) Beaches of Germany - for travelers to Germany: Hitting the beach in Germany generally means heading for the North
Sea or Ostsee coasts. On warm summer days, Germany's beaches are a
wonderful place to relax on the sand, play volleyball or swim in the
bracing sea. Whether your desires are a beach for children and family
to play on, a place to be with adults, or a nude beach, Germany has
them all. Here are some popular places to visit: v theagarajan - pollachi - 1.1. saraswathi s - 23-1-1972 ganesh s - 13.2.1976 ccm vivek - 12.4.1976 gowri s - 16.3. senthil kumar c 3.5.1971 vidya s - 17.6.1969 akila b - 24.6.1974 s prakash - 24.7.1982 s dharini - 10.8.1986 m senthil kumar - 10.9.1970 d uga - 21.11.1971 v kannan - 19.11.1969 0 comments 49) Primus Inter Pares: Primus Inter Pares >>> First Among Equals c Semper Tyrannis >>> Thus ever to tyrants. The motto of the State of Virginia. John Wilkes Booth is supposed to have shouted this phrase as he jumped to stage of Ford's Theater after shooting Abraham Lincoln.
Appa : all management gurus throughout the world say the
word 'manager' is misnomer. Current society, at least in developed
countries, is a networked society. They can manage themselves. They
want only a leader. (As Abraham Lincoln said a leader is only a
primus inter pares). Also remember that he who knows and knows that
he knows alone is the leader.
50) The Internet Classics Archive | The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius: From my grandfather Verus I learned good morals and the government of my temper. From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character. From my mother, piety and beneficence, and abstinence, not only from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts; and further, simplicity in my way of living, far removed from the habits of the rich.
From my great-grandfather, not to have frequented public schools, and
to have had good teachers at home, and to know that on such things a
man should spend liberally.
