NBC sports commentators sometimes struggle(permalink)
At 09:26 AM
Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'
2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'
4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'
5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.'
6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'
8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.'
9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?'

NOKIA mobile phone secret key codes(permalink)
At 12:42 PM USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
On the main screen type
*#06# for checking the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity).
*#7780# reset to factory settings.
*#67705646# This will clear the LCD display
*#0000# To view software version.
*#2820# Bluetooth device address.
*#746025625# Sim clock allowed status.
*#62209526# - Display the MAC address of the WLAN adapter. This is available only in the newer devices that supports WLAN like N80
#pw+1234567890+1# Shows if sim have restrictions.
*#92702689# - takes you to a secret menu where you may find some of the information below:
1. Displays Serial Number.
2. Displays the Month and Year of Manufacture
3. Displays (if there) the date where the phone was purchased (MMYY)
4. Displays the date of the last repair - if found (0000)
5. Shows life timer of phone (time passes since last start)
*#3370# - Enhanced Full Rate Codec (EFR) activation. Increase signal strength, better signal reception. It also help if u want to use GPRS and the service is not responding or too slow. Phone battery will drain faster though.
*#3370* - (EFR) deactivation. Phone will automatically restart. Increase battery life by 30% because phone receives less signal from network.
*#4720# - Half Rate Codec activation.
*#4720* - Half Rate Codec deactivation. The phone will automatically restart
If you forgot wallet code for Nokia S60 phone, use this code reset: *#7370925538#
Note, your data in the wallet will be erased. Phone will ask you the lock code. Default lock code is: 12345
Press *#3925538# to delete the contents and code of wallet.
*#7328748263373738# resets security code.
Default security code is 12345
Unlock service provider: Insert sim, turn phone on and press vol up(arrow keys) for 3 seconds, should say pin code. Press C,then press * message should flash, press * again and 04*pin*pin*pin#
Change closed caller group (settings >security settings>user groups) to 00000 and ure phone will sound the message tone when you are near a radar speed trap. Setting it to 500 will cause your phone 2 set off security alarms at shop exits, gr8 for practical jokes! (works with some of the Nokia phones.)

Oh Yeah
I'm About to drop some particle physics in da club
The LHC is super dupper fly
You know what I'm saying
Check it...
Twenty-seven kilometers of tunnel underground,
designed with mind to send protons around
a circle that crosses through Swtizerland and France.
Sixty nations contribute to scientific advance.
Two beams of protons swing 'round through the ring they ride
'til in the hearts of the detectors they're made to collide!
And all that energy packed in such a tiny bit of room
becomes mass particles created from the vacuum
And then....
LHCb sees where the antimatter's gone
ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions
CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind:
They're looking for whatever new particles they can find
The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead,
and the things that it discovers will rock you in the head.
We see asteroids and planets stars galore
We know a black hole resides at each galaxy's core.
But even all that matter cannot explain what holds
all these stars together something else remains.
This dark matter interacts only through gravity
And how do you catch a particle there's no way to see?
take it back to consevation of energy,
and the particles appear clear as can be
You see particles flyin' in jets they spray,
but you notice there ain't nothin' goin' the other way.
You say, "My law has just been violated!
That don't make sense!
There's gotta be another particle to make this balance!"
And it might be dark matter and for the first time,
we catch a glimpse of what must fill
most of the known 'Verse
Because...
LHCb sees where the antimatter's gone
ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions.
CMS and ATLAS are two of a kind
They're looking for whatever new particles they can find.
Antimatter is sort of like matter's evil twin.
Because except for charge and handedness of spin,
they're the same for a particle and its anti-self,
but you can't store an anti-particle of any shelf.
Cuz when it meets its normal twin, they both annihilate.
Matter turns to energy, and then, it dissipates.
When matter is created from energy,
which is exactly what they'll do in the LHC,
you get matter and antimatter in equalparts,
and they try to take this back to when the universe starts:
the Big Bang.
Back when all the matter exploded,
But the amount of antimatter was somehow eroded!
Because when we look around we see that matter abounds,
but the antimatter's nowhere to be found.
That's why....

The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead,
and the things that it discovers will rock you in the head.
The Higgs boson, that's the one that everybody talks about,
and it's the one sure thing that this machine will sort out.
If the Higgs exists they ought to see it right away,
And if it doesn't, the scientists will finally say,
"There is no Higgs! We need new physics
to account for why things have mass."
"Something in our Standard Model went awry!"
But the Higgs — I still haven't said just what it does.
They suppose that particles have mass because
There is this Higgs field that extends through all space,
and some particles slow down while other particles race
straight through, like the photon
it has no mass but something heavy
like the top quark, it's draggin' its ---(!)
And the Higgs is a boson that carries a force,
and makes particles take orders
from the field that is its source.
They'll detect it...

Now some of you may think that gravity is strong,
cuz when you fall off your bicycle, it don't take long
Until you hit the earth, and you say,"Dang that hurt!"
But if you think the force is powerful, you're wrong.
You see, gravity, it's weaker than weak!
And the reason why is something many scientists seek.
They think about dimensions.
We live in just three, but maybe there are others
that are too small to see.
It's into these dimensions that gravity extends,
which makes it seem weaker here on our end.
And these dimensions are rolled up, curled so tight
that they don't affect you in your day-to-day life.
but if you were as tiny as a graviton,
you could enter these dimensions and go wandering on.
And they'd find you...

Oh yeah! Our understanding of the universe is about to change
thanks to the large Hadron collider
This is C to the E to the R to the N comming straight out of Geneva.

Follow-up blood test(permalink)
At 10:47 PM
My doctor wanted to check my Glucose Tolerance so I went for another blood test where (after fasting) they took some blood, I drank a 75g Glucose rich drink, waited around for two hours and they took more blood. By comparing the two they could measure how quickly my body processed the Glucose. Good news is I dont have diabeties, bad news is I could develop it if I dont loose weight.
