I wanted, too, to thank Allen for these great sets! I've had these on both my desktop and on the iPod for car listening and after many months, they still bring smiles and utter delight. Thanks again for taking the time to do these. I think they should've been recognized in some official awards capacity - maybe they still can be? Rod

I'll second Steve's site! Excellent! Here's a list of his best if you're in a hurry: http://www.steves-digicams.com/best_cameras.html You may want to try dpreview and especially this page for narrowing your choice: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp I want to expand beyond my faithful Sony this summer, so I'll be checking these sites as well next week.

http://music.media.mit.edu Why a Music Perception Test? From the perspective of cognitive science, music ranks among the most bizarre and fascinating features of human culture. Music is apparently a signature feature of human culture, being found in every known society, past and present. It is incorporated into a vast array of cultural events, including weddings and funerals, religious services, dances and sporting events, as well as solitary listening sessions. It can make people feel happy or sad, so much so that music is central to modern advertising campaigns. And people throughout the world spend billions of dollars annually on the music and clubbing industries. Despite this central role in human culture, the origins and adaptive function of music remain virtually a complete mystery. Music stands in sharp contrast to most other enjoyable human behaviors (eating, sleeping, talking, sex) in that it yields no obvious benefits to those who partake of it. Music perception has thus puzzled scientists and philosophers alike for thousands of years. Many questions about music perception center around universality. To what extent are various aspects of music perception shared across cultures, and age groups, and therefore innate? Web-based psychology tests provide a powerful tool with which to efficiently collect data from thousands of people from all areas of the world and all walks of life. Here on our web site internet users can listen to brief clips of music and music-related stimuli, and then answer questions about them. The questions involve musical preferences, the perception of emotion in music, and the perception of tension and resolution. This methodology provides a way to both collect huge amounts of data, and to collect data from people living in distant parts of the world with relative ease. It is our hope that the data we collect will help to reveal which aspects of music perception are universal, and which vary with culture and musical exposure. The test can be taken by anyone, and takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary and responses are kept completely confidential. About the Music Universals Study This web-based experiment is part of an investigation of the universality of various aspects of music perception. Why do we like some sorts of music but not others? Are there innate constraints on how we hear music? How do people perceive the structure of music? Collecting data from around the world can help to illuminate these issues by revealing how different aspects of music perception vary with culture, age, musical training, and other factors. By taking part in our study you can provide us with some of this data! Anyone who wishes to do so may participate in our study. The questions should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participation in this study is completely voluntary. Although your data will be most useful if you complete the entire test, you are free to stop at any time and have no obligation to answer all the questions if you do not wish to. You will also have the option of withdrawing your data if you do not wish it to be used. Your responses will be kept completely confidential. If you have trouble starting the study, please e-mail mus@media.mit.edu and describe the problem. Because the success of our study depends on getting high levels of participation, we would greatly appreciate any links to our website from external sites.

Wow! Can't say that I've ever seen that! Now, I've seen Vedantists hawking their wares in airports, but never anyone that represented Veganism as a religion. Rod

Yes, let's hasten it's arrival! Maybe we should all drive even faster than we do now! ...and increase our smoking...and drink ourselves under the counter each night...and... Wow, I'm so relieved to know that the WaCkY "God" guy(?) enjoys his meaty stuffs! Does she(?) stick it on the ol' barbie? Surely it's not too well-done (with all that HELL business, you know...) Does that mean we can do all of those other groovy things that...oh, I guess not - it's one of those "do as I say, not as I do" kinda things...oh...OK. BTW, not eating red meat has everything to do with reduction in heart disease risk.

Send him to my house. I'll fatten him up with vegetarian food from all over the world. Rod --- Now playing: Ravi Shankar - Raga: Malaya-Marutam

That's just inept parenting. Dogs can be vegetarian. Cats cannot (due to absolute need for taurine - tho there's been some debate on the source of most taurine).

Great! Thanks for that! It seems pretty easy, so I'll be giving it a try.

For a year, the O-Forum was the only thing that crashed Safari on me - constantly...consistently...about every 5 to 10 minutes. So, I changed over to Firefox and all's been great. I love the Firefox add-on called Yoono, so I don't see myself going back to Safari (unless I want to save a YouTube movie, then Safari is ace!) R~~ --- Now playing: Terry Riley with Don Cherry - Untitled I

I'm looking at using flying points for this!

Exactly! - that's the only thing that I found. So, we never actually had a Don Ho RIP topic? Like yer picture of the lamented dear Jacqui...

Don Ho's Daughter Found Dead Less Than a Week After His Funeral I was gonna put this in the Don Ho RIP topic, but due to the sucky search feature (yes, I tried doing a Google with combos of organissimo, don ho, tiny bubbles, hawaii, etc...), I just gave up and decided to put it here. If someone can or wants to move it... Saturday , May 12, 2007 AP HONOLULU — The late Do Ho's daughter, Dayna Ho-Henry, was found dead Friday, her brother said. The 51-year-old's death comes less than a week after the Waikiki Beach funeral for her father, who died April 14 of heart failure at age 76. Ho-Henry was one of the legendary singer's 10 children. The entertainer is best known for his catchy signature tune "Tiny Bubbles." No foul play is suspected, police spokeswoman Michelle Yu said. "The family is grieving the loss of my sister and we're just trying to make sense of it," said Ho-Henry's brother, Dwight Ho. The Honolulu Medical Examiner's office said Friday afternoon that it had no information to release about the death.

Clem: Yes, first RT and the Pussy Galore Exile On Main Street stuff: AOK. Fine noise-wall, but the later "blues" shit can go.... JH, in a Wire interview she was a bit roundabout about it: Q: George Bush in particular, these days. Do you inject politics into your music? A: No. Absolutely not. It would not be popular. Q: Unpopular with your father, Neil, or the people who buy your records? A: Probably with the people who would buy our records. [Long pause] I don't know. Neil's different. Dude - I'm totally pro-Bush, I'm not pro-Bush like 'Bush is great', but the Democrats haven't fucking come up with any fucking alternative, Kerry is a fucking chump. I'm all for that war. I don't want to get into it. I don't really talk about this much. I know it's unpopular. I've written articles that haven't been published because of shit like that. And then I've realised it's probably best to keep politics out of this shit because I could just go on and on it would take too much energy... ...but I've seen other interviews with her since that have been "Bush Is Great", etc... I'll see if I can come up with a couple, if you're still awake. Peaches was in a "sex" magazine that I picked up a coupla years ago and they tried pairing her "stories" with my Plaster Caster friend. Cheap and tawdry crap. An attempt at making skank look sexy - can't figure it out. Rod

I don't get the Peaches or the Jennifer Herrema (BIG Bush supporter BTW ) adorations out there. Betty Davis has more sexiness in one ounce of her soul than those two with any of their love children combined. I'll trade my nude Herrema in black boots T-shirt for a fully clothed Betty one anytime. Thank you and Goodnight Seattle!

I've yet to see this show available to the general public. This show and Chris Albertson's "The Jazz Set" were two shows that I absolutely lived for back in the early 70's. Sadly, neither one has been seen since those glorious days of adventurous TV (and radio!). R~~ --- Now playing: Art Pepper with Duke Jordan - All The Things You Are

Yes! I remember that Miles performance. Don Kirschner's Rock Concert? Wasn't the lengthy percussion jam mostly between slit drums and tabla? Slit drum:

Yes, I seem to remember reading about Herod, the Mediocre and Herod, the Bloody Awful as well when I was in school.

Does this mean that it's really 2013 now? I suddenly feel much older.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Four years ago today, we lost our sweetheart Deja. She actually lived in four different decades: the 70's, 80's 90's and the 00's! A bit of her story is in the middle of this page: http://www.petsynergy.com/health2.html Rod

Anyone know what's happening with the great trumpet player Daniel Scanlon? Rod
