Study shows "Strep Throat" may have caused death of Mozart

A few minutes ago I read from Yahoo! article about "Strep throat may have killed Mozart: study" and surprised by the alleged cause of death of Wolfgang Mozart.

Right after, I checked my Encarta dictionary and found out that strep is linked to streptococcus or defined as:

round bacterium: a spherical bacterium that often causes diseases such as scarlet fever or pneumonia. The bacteria link together in pairs or chains. 

Genus: Streptococcus 

Source: Microsoft Encarta

Mozart is one of the finest artists in 18th century. As person not really particular with classic music such as Mozart, I even thought Canon D which was re-popularize in Youtube around 2006 (if I'm not mistaken) was composed by him. Watch video below.

I also love listening to Carmina Burana if I'm on mood in listening to his music.

To wrap up, may Mozart's caused of death would really be solved at once and may his music continue to live until next generations.

Word of the day : Nugatory

Origin of the word : Early 17th century. < Latin nugatorius < nugae "trifling matters"]

Pinoy Big Brother : Double Up

brI've from TV last night that Pinoy Big Brother's house will be open again and it will be full-packed with features and that's the reason the theme is Double Up. A lot of Pinoy auditioned for the said reality show and it's reasonable for the reality show to make it more challenging for the housemates and exciting for the viewers.

I think by the time of it's opening, I will choose earlier my bet and post here at my blog his/her ups and downs. Will he/she have a Double Up or Down..I think the next opening of Pinoy Big Brother will be exciting. I just hope it won't bore me!

District 9 :: Interesting Sci-Fi Movie

Disctrict 9 movie produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp. Movie about aliens force to live on earth particularly in District 9.

Quoted from IMDB

As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers.

Joke: An Insulting Parrot

I visited my iGoogle Account today and laugh at this joke..

A lady was walking past a pet store when a parrot said, "Hey, lady! You're really ugly!" The lady was angry, but she continued on her way.

On the way home, she passed by the pet store again, and again, the parrot said, "Hey, lady! You're really ugly!" Furious, the lady stormed into the store and threatened to sue the store.

The store manager apologized profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn't say it again.

The next day, she deliberately passed by the store to test the parrot. "Hey, lady!" it said.

"Yes?"

"You know...."

Enjoy your day!

Upgrade your Internet Browser :: Stop using IE6

Last month, Youtube campaigned to its visitor to upgrade their browser particularly those using Internet Explorer 6.

As one of the web enthusiasts, I noticed a lot of websites I visited not rendering well in Internet Explorer 6 because of its bugs and problems.

Web designers also having headache designing because of the bugs mentioned. Some web designers still have to hack their codes just to make their design render well in IE6.


There's also a case that sites were optimized with IE6 and now not working well in latest browsers. One of those is SSS.gov.ph wherein I mentioned from my post that it's buggy. You can also visit mindanao.org in which sidebar menus are also not working well.

According to this post and this, Youtube may stop working in IE6 because they will spend more time optimizing to latest browsers and not wasting time working with old browsers. One of the popular social bookmarking site Digg may, too.

I like to quote this:

A month ago, YouTube started asking IE6 users to please, for the love of God, upgrade to "more modern browsers." The skeptic in me wondered then whether Google, which owns YouTube, also was hoping people would switch to its Chrome browser. Google also is phasing out IE6 support on its social networking site, Orkut.

Soon, most of sites will stop supporting IE6 too so start using latest browsers now. You may also experience bug-less and faster Internet surfing.

You may also visit this campaign.

Where to download latest browsers?

Firefox 3.5

Chrome

Safari 4

Opera

Internet Explorer 8

Friendster wants to set a world record

On August 15 this Saturday, Friendster will be having a Grand Eye Ball (get together) for the world record. This might be ambitious event but let's see what will happen next week after the event. I think this will be successful.

This might be a grand event this year for a social network site here in the Philippines. As we all know, Friendster is still one of the popular sites in the Philippines although Facebook is becoming popular too.

The event will feature Pinoy Rock bands such as Rico Blanco, Callalily, 6 Cycle mind, Imago, Pedicab and Paraluman. It will also have games and attractions such as My Music Video, CamAddict Portrait and among others. I admit, I'm not really a Friendster fan anymore but my wife, family, friends, relatives, former classmates are still using the site as our mean of communication.

May the event will be successful and hit their world record target. If this will be successful, Filipino will marked another world record.

Btw, this is not a paid post.

How did i fixed my CakePHP application at Freehostia

Last night i was having problem running my CakePHP application at Freehostia particularly the 500 Internal Server error.

If someone have experienced the same error like what I had. Here's how I corrected it.

Add "/" to your .htaccess file located at /www/cakephp/

From:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]


to:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /app/webroot/$1 [L]


Now to your .htaccess located at www/cakephp/app

From:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) webroot/$1 [L]


to:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /webroot/$1 [L]


Lastly, your .htaccess file at www/cakephp/app/webroot

from:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]


to:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]


By adding "/" to your .htaccess files your CakePHP application will work now automagically. Hope that helps.

Ashley Greene scandal

My previous post 2009 Teen Awards I mentioned Kristen Stewarts who was one of the actress of the movie Twilight as my bet to the said awards.

By reading the Twilight - New Moon at IMDB, I noticed Ashley Greene (also cast from the movie Twilight) which I find cute and attractive too. Since I quite liked her, I Googled her pics for me to have a wallpaper size of it but I noticed some of her pics scandalous. I'm not really sure if those pics are hers.

For the sake of comparison I posted here her pics from IMDB and the one I found from the Google image search.

Also, I covered what she is covering too..

2009 Teen Choice Awards

Not a teen anymore?

In the middle of my time surfing the net, I stumbled upon the Yahoo Buzz 2009 Teen Choice Award. Am a little bit amazed that Britney Spears is on the first page of the OMG slideshow. I don't really like her photo there and in general Britney herself.

I like Kristen Stewart's photo at the OMG slide show, she looks lovely there and I hope she'll win some awards too (I know she will).

Miley Cyrus will be singing Party in the U.S.A at the Teen Choice Award. I wish the success of the event and may Kristen Stewart win a lot of awards..wooo!!

Woodforest National Bank

What you should to know about Woodforest National Bank?

Woodforest National Bank is a The Woodlands, Texas-based bank, founded in 1980, that operates branches in Texas, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama, New York, West Virginia, Maryland, Mississippi , Louisiana, and Virginia. Most branches are located within Wal-Mart stores. Woodforest National Bank is also located within many other retail stores such as Tom Thumb Food & Pharmacy, Kroger, Fruitlandia, and Sams Club. Many Woodforest branches are open 364 days a year, with some open 24 hours a day, and offer immediate availability on its customers' deposits with deposit deadlines at 8 pm.^[1]

It began as a small bank in East Houston within a suburb known as Woodforest in 1980, has grown into a network of 600+ branches as of late 2008. Plans are to double the branch network within the next few years. Woodforest began its Retail partnership with Wal-Mart in 1996. Woodforest opened over 200 new branches in 2008 throughout 15 states.^{[citation needed]} In 2008, Woodforest expanded into the states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana, bringing the total number of states to 15. In 2009, the company plans to open over 100 new branches.

Woodforest is owned by Woodforest Financial Group, which also owns Woodforest Bank, a Federal Savings Bank, and Woodforest Financial Services, Inc., an investment advisor.

Woodforest National Bank was also recognized in 2007 by J. D. Power and Associates for Highest Retail Banking Satisfaction in the south-west region of the United States

Do you wonder if banks here in the Philippines can do the same as Woodforest National Bank? Could they open their banks 364 days in a year and some 24hours a day? It's a sort of impossible but do you know that they do now? Logically they do because they have their ATM's and some are now online thru Internet. I mentioned to my post On-line banking some of the banks that have their on-line banking.

Nobody, nobody, nobody by Wonder Girls

I've watched the music video of Nobody by Wonder Girls last week and I really enjoyed watching it. Today I watched its parody and I find the lyrics amusing. A sort of reminder to us to stay clean to keep away from A(H1N1), swine flu, SARS and other infectious diseases.


Enjoy watching this.



Here's the original music video of Nobody by Wonder Girls.



Let's stay clean.
