Scientists for Better PCR

haha...I just found this, tho' it's not a new thing. Very creative way of advertising their product. And a good way to understand basic PCR.

PCR - polymerase chain reaction is a technique widely used in molecular biology. It's commonly used in medical and biological research labs for variety of applications such as DNA cloning for sequencing, DNA-based phylogeny, or functional analysis of genes, diagnosis of hereditary diseases, identification of genetic fingerprints (forensic sciences and paternity testing), and detection and diagnosis of infectious diseases.

Listen to the song for an overview of PCR...



"Scientists for Better PCR"
a Bio-Rad Music Video for the all new 1000-Series Thermal Cyclers




The PCR Song by Scientists for Better PCR Lyric




There was a time when to amplify DNA,

You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.

(Oooh) Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,

Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.



Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,

Nucleotides and polymerases too.

Denaturing, annealing, and extending,

Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.


[Chorus]

PCR when you need to detect mutation (detect mutation)

PCR when you need to recombine (recombine)

PCR when you need to find out who the daddy is (who’s your daddy?)

PCR when you need to solve a crime (solve a crime)

[x2]


[Advertisement]

(PCR) To all the scientists out there doing PCR, Bio-Rad salutes you with the all-new 1000 series thermal cycling platform.

Tiredness of ...



Are you always in the situation like in the pic above?

I know what it feels like being tired...like damn tired..either because of tons of works, did alot of heavy activities, stay up all night due to work/assignments etc....

but tired physically and mentally because of not doing anything? How to deal with this? How to deal with a person who procrastinate about his procrastination every second, every minute, every hour, 'eh-vuh-ree-day'?
Because you keep procrastinating, you keep postponing your important task and because you postpone it, you become fatigued. Fatigue is emotional and mental while tiredness is mostly physical. You have enough sleep, you have enough rest, you did enjoy and go out for a walk, you eat and sleep... but you keep procrastinate 'bout your stuff and complain 'bout how tired you are....

I had coffee everyday ('super-kaw' 3x at least), sleep 3-4 hours sometimes, still not finishing what I'm suppose to do.. but I never complain 'bout the tiredness and lack of sleep to anyone..and still stay awake/accompany you the whole day while you keep saying that you are very tired when you had more than 6 hours of sleep....gosh! Do you know that, it's all in your head, it's all inside you....??

Causes of tiredness
-can be usefully divided into three overlapping groups


source : bpac

Diet, exercise and your mind is the problem of 'your' tiredness.

You should read about Overcoming procrastination
I like this article as well; How stress, depression and bad habits cause oversleeping and tiredness

I found that by reading and searching articles like these, it will help you to understand yourself better. Give you the answers of what might be the possible factors of your tiredness or procrastination. By realizing it, you tend to change slowly in order to achieve what you want. I don't get it, why people who have such problems didn't try to read all that..At least if you feel like you've a problem and you don't know how to solve it and have no one to talk to; you can try to read more stories/articles in the web to help yourself (rather than keep bugging other people with the same minor problems everyday!!!!).


What age do you act?




You Act Like You Are 20 Years Old



You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel like an adult, and you're optimistic about life.

You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.



You're still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up.

The world is full of possibilities, and you can't wait to explore many of them.

QuiT, QuiT, No!

Don't Quit

When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
When the road
you're trudging
seems all uphill,
When the funds are low,
and the debts are high,
and you want to smile,
but you have to sigh,
When care is
pressing you
down a bit --
Rest if you must,
But don't you quit.

Success is failure
turned inside out,
The silver tint of
the clouds of doubt,
And you can never can tell
how close you are,
It may be near when
it seems a far.

So, stick to
the fight when
you're hardest hit --
It's when things go wrong
that you musn't quit.

Hands-on with Motorola ROKR E8



Get my hands-touch-and feel-on with motorola ROKR E8. Am still not a fan of motorola tho'. But I do like to see the slim design and the phone 'Rokr E8' itself. So far, I like the keypad and the great sound outcome. Indeed a nice music phone. Instead of traditional keypad and navigation array, I like the smooth 'glass-like' surface. Seems like a 'touch-sensitive' screen and keypad although you still actually need to press it. The keypad has a vibrating feedback and the navigation wheel make it easy to smoothly go from one option to another. Although loading songs is very fast and easy with a simple connection (drag-and-drop) between the USB and PC, but the phone sort out the songs differently. Instead of following the folder I make my own, so that I can drop each folder to make a playlist; it detect the song individually. And making a playlist to put all the songs according to the folders name is troublesome (or maybe I haven't explore properly plus not reading the manual =p ). The small screen is a turn-off for me but the sleek-light design is enough to attract me. Not to mention, the 2GB storage capacity of internal memory. This phone won CNET's Best of CES in the cell phones and smartphones.

PSP-mania



Download PSP Games, Movies, Music and More!

Being a noobie when I first met Mr. PSP, I know nothing but just to play the same game (one UMD disc only mah!). Getting bored of the same game, I searched for other alternatives on 'how-not-to-buy-another-umd-disc-game'. Then I found my beloved PSP Blender (singing...Thank God I found you~~~). Paid for it and didn't expect much out of it. Turn out that the site was so damn good. From there, of course I get plenty of games and other downloadable stuff. Learn how to convert and install the games to my psp...or just download readily converted movies/videos/tv shows... Get to know PSP terms which I've no idea before that... Tons of games with games review, so you can check before download 'em...Game cheats, wallpaper, software....shorten it, it's the place where you can get ALL for your psp. No regret paying for such terrific site..It's lifetime unlimited access.

Some games I enjoyed - Need for speed, Grand Theft Auto, Tekken, Locoroco, ScoobyDoo etc...


Basic stuff you need to know (or maybe not..)

PSP games are all the rage nowadays. The reason for this are quite simple: the PSP is a very versatile piece of equipment. It allows portability for playing games in the form of small UMD disc that you can easily carry around. However apart from UMD disc, there are other ways of storing your PSP games i.e. in your memory sticks. This is a simple guide on how to download PSP games from your computer to your PSP.

Homebrew PSP games are custom design games developed by programmers. Some of the feature of these homebrew PSP games is that it emulates other gaming console so that you will be able to play wide variety of games from platforms such as Nintendo, Supernintendo, Megadrive, NeoGeo and much more. This makes the PSP a very powerful gaming console not to mention that these homebrew PSP games are available all over the internet.

What you will need is sufficient PSP memory stick. I would always recommend memory stick of at least 1GB, but if you do not have the sufficient resources (i.e. money) a 256MB Memory stick should be alright. Note: for a brand new memory stick you will need to format it. The other thing that you will require when installing a game to your memory card is your PSP Firmware version 1.5 or less. Later firmware version will not work. If you do have a later version of PSP, please consider downgrading you PSP.

In simple terms its this; you will download your games from the internet into you PC and then transfer your game files to your PSP via a USB cable. When your computer is connected to your PSP, your PC will recognize your PSP as a detachable memory (similar to a USB drive). It will assign a drive (usually f: ) and you will be able to drag and drop you PSP games file to your memory stick. These are some of the step to download PSP games.

Step 1
You must copy your PSP games file to the correct path or the games simply would not work. The correct path is PSP>GAME (all the folder names are in caps)

Step 2
After the PSP games are fully transferred to your memory stick, disconnect the PSP from your PC. In your PSP main menu, scroll to GAME and then select Memory Stick option. Press X, and list of available games in your memory stick will be displayed. If you find any error on your PSP, you might want to check your firmware version.

This is a simple guide on how to download PSP games from your computer and it is a proven techniques and been done countless of times. Most important of all it allows you to enjoy wide variety of games from other gaming console.

My ranking of PSP download sites
1. PSP Blender
2. Allpspgames
3. Mypspdownloads
4. GameMediaDownload
5. PSPnerd

Movie Downloads

Search and download over 80 millions videos!!??!

Awesome man!!

I love to download movies/tv shows eversince (well, eversince the existence of so many downloadable stuff...duh!) forever... I need to rely on downloads as I can't catch all my favourite show in tv and cinema due to time factor. What more if there's a site that offer no download limits and full quality movies. The only two important criteria for a download site. With unlimited 24hour downloading (yeah)..we sleep, computer on...extensive online database (search till u drop!). A great site you should try if you don't know where to get movies,tv shows,latest videos,mp3s and don't want to waste time searching and searching end up with nothing. Try MovieDownloads.

New words of the day

Glossary of words that have recently been used in English and do not yet appear in traditional dictionaries.

Extracted some from thestar

citjo n. A blend of the words “citizen” and “journalist”, and indicating a non-journalist who contributes amateur video or other reportage to the established news media.

quizzam n. A test that is more difficult than a quiz but easier than an exam. The word is made from a blend of “quiz” and “exam.”

singlism n. Bias against people who are not married or part of a couple.

wannarexia: The desire to have an eating disorder so as to be thin and popular is called wannarexia, according to Dr Richard Kreipe of the Western New York Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders in Rochester.

I'm A 'Caramel Macchiato'

If you were a coffee drink, what would you be?

Take the coffee personality quiz to find out what coffee drink are you...

There will be 15 questions for you to answer. After that just calculate your marks


I am a....

No drink suits you better than the Caramel Macchiato. This drink has the backbone of the foamed milk and espresso but is more expressive and creative with its inclusion of vanilla and caramel sauces. Smooth and laid back, this drink is a combination of a variety of tastes (as you prefer). The balance of creativity and strength make for a well-rounded drink. As an individual you need balance to be at your best; time for self-expression, but time for conversation with others. Perhaps slightly artsy or musical nothing unsettles you too much. If unsettled, you are most likely to be moody and need time to contemplate. You, like your signature drink, provide an interesting perspective and twist on what may otherwise be a simple situation. Nothing too vigorous or drastic appeals to you. Although sweet, you are not too sweet and are mysterious in your unpredictability. Your flavor changes with each sip and you might not even understand how you can be sweet at times and smooth, deep, and serious at others. The cappuccino is known to envelope others with its complex and intriguing paradox of pensiveness and confidence.

Does your PC system runs slow?

Have you ever encounter these problems?

  • A slow system (dang...)
  • Harassed by DLL errors (always)
  • Plagued by constant Blue Screens (occasionally)
  • Receiving error messages and don't know why (all the time..)
What do you do when this happen?

Sometimes I format everything or send to technicians to repair. Well, for a dumbo like me, I didn't know that these issues are easily repairable... until I found RegistryFix which (I admit) really fix my computer errors and my internet surfing run faster. My friends always complained 'bout their PC slow system, errors messages , slow surfing (irritating!) and seek for computer technicians. How many times do you have to bring your PC to the shop and repair it, when this kind of problems occur? I told 'em that they can easily fix it like I did... They're lazy people and don't read 'dummies for PC', just need a quick solution. Funny that they thanked me (a dumbo) when I told 'em bout RegistryFix.


I know there are alot of registry cleaner software but so far this one is good enough for me. RegisterFix allows you to scan for invalid registry entries that might causing your PC issues with their free scanner. The software will inform you of where the errors exist, and what potential errors they might cause. It will scan for errors related to ActiveX controls, DLL issues, Windows explorer errors, Iexplore and System32 errors, Runtime errors, EXE errors, Svchost errors, and a wide variety of other system issues.



I found 572 problems in my system when I scan it... Gosh!!


You can scan your registry for free !!

Wanna know What's Hot? What's Not?

out of boredom


What is Google Trends?

Google Trends is a tool from Google Labs that shows the most popularly searched terms from the beginning of 2004 to now.

Google Trends charts how often a particular search term is entered relative the total search volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages. The horizontal axis of the main graph represents time (starting from some time in 2004), and the vertical is how often a term is searched for relative to the total number of searches, globally. Below the main graph, popularity is broken down by region, city and language. It is possible to refine the main graph by region and time period.

Google Trends also allows the user to compare the volume of searches between two or more terms. An additional feature of Google Trends is in its ability to show news related to the search term overlaid on the chart showing how new events affect search popularity.

Originally, Google neglected updating Google Trends on a regular basis. In March 2007, internet bloggers noticed that Google had not added new data since November 2006, and Trends was updated within a week. Google did not update Trends from March until July 30, and only after it was blogged about, again. Google now claims to be "updating the information provided by Google Trends daily; Hot Trends is updated hourly."

Kept thinking tomorrow is Friday...
