Welcome to the Lost Lennon Tapes, as originally broadcast by Westwood One almost 20 years ago. Please note that this podcast is not a rehash of the Lost Lennon Tapes LPs (which excerpted the music only), but consists instead of the original shows (from vinyl and/or tape sources) in their entireties, with narration, interviews, sponsor spots, etc. The sound quality is good, not fantastic, but the content is still as interesting as when it originally aired in the late 80's.

YouTube releases a video editing tool which remixes your 'tube clips using a Flash-based in-browser application.

Drag and drop your clips to a timeline (much like iMovie) and add music, effects, graphics, captions and borders. The remixer is throwing a couple of "still working out the kinks" hiccups here and there this morning, but it's still a fun and easy way to splice, slice and dice your clips together.

email from my wife while I was away

To my darling husband,

Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me.

I was coming home from shopping, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I have attached a picture for you so you can see that it's not too bad.

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

Your loving wife.
XXX

P.S. Your girlfriend called for you.

How to survive a heart attack when alone

clipper's remarks: The linked article also has the procedure for standard CPR.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed in order.) Without help the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel Faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.

The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a phone and, between breaths, call for help.

Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

NAKED WIFE BEAT UP HER HUSBAND

10:30 - 29 January 2007

A Screaming naked woman was found by police beating her husband in the front of a van.Officers were alerted to screams coming from a vehicle in Brynawelon, and discovered Mary Nurse stripped bare hitting her partner.

She then ran starkers into the street when officers tried to arrest her.

The 40-year-old was given a conditional discharge after she admitted causing harassment, alarm and distress when she appeared before Llanelli magistrates.

Prosecuting solicitor Sian Vaughan told the court that on Sunday, January 21, police were attending an unrelated incident when they were distracted by screaming and arguing further up the street.

When they approached the van at 8.10pm, they noticed the Penyfan Road, Penyfan, resident wasn't wearing any clothes.

Mrs Vaughan said the pair were arguing and Mr Nurse had injuries to his face.

She said: "Officers asked her to put her clothes on and she replied: "They are wet and I'm not going anywhere until I get my money."

Mrs Nurse, who has previous convictions for domestic violence, then continued to hurl abuse at her husband and police.

She then grabbed a yellow fluorescent jacket and ran down the street with it over her shoulders. Officers then arrested her.

He said: "My client is very embarrassed by all this and is full of regret. She had got wet in the rain and took her clothes off. Her husband was supposed to go into the house and bring some out for her, but in the meantime an argument followed, which got completely out of hand."

Mr Martin asked magistrates to take into account when sentencing that his client had already spent one night in custody. Presiding magistrate David Watkins imposed a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered the payment of £60 court costs.

Man sues over penis tattoo

Monday, January 22, 2007

A football fan is suing a tattooist who drew a penis on his back instead of his favourite team's badge.

The teenager asked to have the Boca Juniors logo etched on his back.

But the tattoo artist was a supporter of rival team River Plate and decided to have some fun at his young customer's expense.

The victim, who cannot be named, said: 'I could not see what he was tattooing because he didn't have a mirror. I only saw it when I got home and showed it to my parents.'

Top 10 Foods for a Good Night's Sleep

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 22:21:21 GMT

clipped by: k9riley99

Clip Source: food.yahoo.com

What is the secret to getting a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep? Head for the kitchen and enjoy one or two of these 10 foods. They relax tense muscles, quiet buzzing minds, and/or get calming, sleep-inducing hormones - serotonin and melatonin - flowing. Yawning yet?

Bananas. They're practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant.

Chamomile tea. The reason chamomile is such a staple of bedtime tea blends is its mild sedating effect - it's the perfect natural antidote for restless minds/bodies.

Warm milk. It's not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan - an amino acid that has a sedative - like effect - and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus there's the psychological throw-back to infancy, when a warm bottle meant "relax, everything's fine."

Honey. Drizzle a little in your warm milk or herb tea. Lots of sugar is stimulating, but a little glucose tells your brain to turn off orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter that's linked to alertness.

Potatoes. A small baked spud won't overwhelm your GI tract, and it clears away acids that can interfere with yawn-inducing tryptophan. To up the soothing effects, mash it with warm milk.

Oatmeal. Oats are a rich source of sleep - inviting melatonin, and a small bowl of warm cereal with a splash of maple syrup is cozy - plus if you've got the munchies, it's filling too.

Almonds. A handful of these heart-healthy nuts can be snooze-inducing, as they contain both tryptophan and a nice dose of muscle-relaxing magnesium.

Flaxseeds. When life goes awry and feeling down is keeping you up, try sprinkling 2 tablespoons of these healthy little seeds on your bedtime oatmeal. They're rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a natural mood lifter.

Whole-wheat bread. A slice of toast with your tea and honey will release insulin, which helps tryptophan get to your brain, where it's converted to serotonin and quietly murmurs "time to sleep."

Turkey.

Goobuntu - Google develops its own distro of Linux

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 18:11:30 GMT

clipped by: ericw

Clip Source: www.theregister.co.uk

Google is preparing its own distribution of Linux for the desktop, in a possible bid to take on Microsoft in its core business - desktop software.

A version of the increasingly popular Ubuntu desktop Linux distribution, based on Debian and the Gnome desktop, it is known internally as 'Goobuntu'.

Google has confirmed it is working on a desktop linux project called Goobuntu, but declined to supply further details, including what the project is for.

It's possible that it's just one of the toys Googleplex engineers play with on Fridays, when they get time off from buffing the search engine code or filtering out entries about Tiananmen Square.

The pack includes many apps which compete directly with the Windows bundle, such as Google Talk, Google Desktop, Mozilla Firefox, the Trillian instant messenger client, RealPlayer, and Picasa photo management.

However, entering the desktop software world would be a huge step. Making Goobuntu as easy to use as XP will require a lot more development. It's unlikely to be ready for showtime any time soon, and it's possible Google itself hasn't finalised where the project should go.

Free online photography lessons

Learn photography with free online course

Freelance photographer Jodie Coston offers a free online course in photography, covering everything from aperture to zoom.

The course is divided into 10 lessons, each presented with loads of sample photos and assignments at the end. Coston employs a friendly, personal style and provides plain-English descriptions of complicated subjects. Even better, host site morgueFile maintains a separate discussion board for each of the lessons, so you can ask questions, share info with your "classmates," etc. This course is actually a couple years old, but it's still an excellent introduction to photography. It's too bad you can't download the lessons as PDFs--they're HTML only--but that's a minor gripe. You won't want to miss this one. — Rick Broida

How to Make Great Photos in Crappy Locations

How to Make Great Photos in Crappy Locations

Somewhere in Arizona, October, 2002

Don't let your creative juices be stymied by lame excuses like "If I only lived in Yosemite," "If I only could take vacation in the sandstone slot canyons of the American Southwest," and "If I was only close to an ocean."

Big deal. If you did all you'd probably do is make more of the same clichéed photos we've already seen.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Open your eyes

We all overlook what we see every day. We take it for granted. These things are dull to us, but often interesting to others. Photograph what's unique about your area. If you live in the Arctic, try seeing patterns in ice lit by moonlight or igloos lit from whale-blubber oil lamps within. If everything's dark and crappy, don't complain: make photos exaggerating just how bad things are.

Look for color - anywhere

Even the grayest of places has its color. Look for neon and other signs at night. They're even better in the rain when you can catch the colors glinting off the streets.

Make time exposures outdoors at night. Even though you may not see colors with your eyes, cameras (digital and film) will pick up and highlight colors in low light. The more varied the lighting, the better. Make photos inside an area with varied lighting, for instance, a shopping mall. The camera will accentuate these differences between tungsten, fluorescent, sodium and metal halide light which are invisible to our eyes.

My work is about color. I keep my eyes peeled and find it all over. Maybe it's a fire extinguisher on the wall of an auto repair station. Maybe it's one bright boxcar in the middle of a railroad yead. Maybe it's little bit of red panty sneaking out from a girl's jeans. It's out there. You just need to look for it.

What sticks out?

Look for anything out of place. Look for what stands out and ask yourself why it stands out. Make photos to highlight whatever it is that makes something catch your eye.
