quot;Watergate was like the 'big bang' of my moral universe, I was 15 or 16 when it spilled out on the American consciousness and conscience. So the idea of questioning authority, trusting no one, is part of the fiber of my being. Deep Throat, of course, came from the infamous Watergate figure who may or may not have existed--the guy who told Woodward and Bernstein to follow the money.

When Deep Purple went on their first tour, to Denmark in 1968, they were still named Roundabout. This was the name suggested by Chris Curtis, former drummer for The Searchers, who actually started the whole process of putting the band together. His concept was of a "roundabout" where people get on and off easily, allowing different line-ups. He was rather quickly put aside, and the actual band (Mk I) wasn't too pleased with the name.

RePete: I wondered what it would be like to talk through a YAMAHA SPX-90 with my voice detuned. I then came up with "Clarence Washington" and "Stu Jaimison". Then about 6 months later I thought it might sound funny to talk in a raspy voice. At first "Willie" was a slow, low-key character. Then I finally decided that Willie needed to be more energetic and outspoken. Willie slowly evolved into the wacko that he is.

The name comes from the founders of the company, widows and widowers, who found one another in chat rooms on America Online. See also our History page.

The music was either supplied by RPG Maker's Runtime Package, downloaded from one of many resource sites, or composed by the game's official composer. The theme songs for each character, except for Animé and Tsunami, are the character's actual themes. The composer of all these is Link Valiant, a budding video game composer with a website coming out soon.

For Beta, we are going to pre-select many of the attributes based on the Profession Path chosen. Perhaps by the time the live game arrives, we will open up the selection to encompass a wider array of choices.

Steve Perry did not have throat cancer. During the writing and recording of "Raised On Radio," Steve's mother was diagnosed with cancer and occasionally he took time away from the band to be with her and to take her to the clinic. In the middle of his For The Love of Strange Medicine tour, Steve Perry contracted bronchitis and was forced to cancel several shows to recover from the illness. After the tour restarted, he contracted severe asthmatic bronchitis.

A7. When I first started to create my character on Furcadia, I knew I wanted to name myself a female name that one of my favourite bands sang. Originally, I was to be called "Bijou" which is a song by Queen, but that name was already taken. My second choice was "HollyAnn" which is a song by Boston, and since it was available, that's the name I became. As for the colours...I'm personally not a fan of the colour orange.

A strep throat is a bacterial infection caused by the streptococcus bacteria. A strep throat mainly affects the area that surrounds the tonsils and often accompanies tonsillitis. Streptococcus bacteria can also cause scarlet fever, pneumonia, sinusitis, and ear infections. Laboratory studies have shown that Manuka Honey can fight streptococcus bacteria. Manuka Honey is soothing and helps relieve the sore throat with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Generally an actor (like William Shatner or Barbara Eden - both of whom recorded at Gold Star) who recorded a vocal album to satisfy their fans. The late Don Ralke was our expert at bringing out the best in these people as they were often unskilled or inexperienced singers.

There could be one of two reasons. The first is the most obvious: I've not had time to update the cast page. The second reason may be they haven't shown up enough times. A character is only added to the cast page if they've shown up at least three times and I think there's a possibility to re-use them in the future.

The National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) was founded by L.A. Parent magazine in 1990. The Children's Products division of NAPPA was designed to help parents make the best, most age-appropriate choices in children's books, toys, music, DVDs, software and spoken-word recordings for their children, from newborn to adolescents. In 1998, the Parenting Resources division was added to provide parents with a "short list" of the best products to help raise and educate their children.

Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the source of HIV infection in humans. The virus most likely jumped to humans when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood. Over several years, the virus slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world.

Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician known as the "father of medicine," named the condition on the basis of the Greek word for CROOKED.

The disease is believed to have first emerged in Guangdong province in China in November and then spread to Hong Kong and elsewhere.

According to information presented in Encyclopedia Britannica, sugar was known in India as early as 3000 BC. Gaura, an old Indian word for sugar, was apparently derived from the name Gur, an ancient monarchy in Bengal.

Kettlebells first appeared in Russia over 100 years ago. Originally kettlebells were used in fairs and markets to balance scales when weighing heavy objects. The Russian military began using them within their training regime because they demand an overhaul of all of the body’s energy systems simultaneously.

A brief history: Both beekeepers had difficulty in shaking and brushing bees at harvest. The son kept designing new and innovative escape boards, bought a very expensive, powerful, and noisy Stihl backpack-type blower, and after getting frustrated with each approach, bought a bottle of Butyric Anhydride.

The Solar System Simulator originated as JPL's SPACE software package, which consisted of a set of computer graphics programs designed to simulate spacecraft trajectories and produce various photographic and video products. The SPACE package was specifically designed for animating space missions and was uniquely suited to JPL mission design.

Adam has said... "JP Plunier introduced me to Jack. I was in a Latin Group with Merlo. I suggested him and it went from there"

The breed originated in the late 1800's in Germany as a smaller version of the Standard Schnauzer that could live more easily as a house pet but still hunt vermin on the German farms.

I could tell you what I've read about evolution, the big-bang, super-universes, quantum foam, and all that stuff. Eventually you'd ask a question I can't answer, then I'd have to go look it up. Even If I had the time for that shit, in the end you'd ask a question science hasn't answered yet. So let's save time and skip ahead to "I don't know."

Yes, the product is named after some guy who has been dead for 276 years: Sir Isaac Newton, considered by many to be the greatest scientific mind in human history. From the very beginning we wanted to develop a system that would offset the head loads that occured during rapid deceleration. In a perfect world this would be an "equal and opposite reaction," Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Randall cattle originated on the farm of Samuel J. Randall and his son Everett in Sunderland, Vermont. Genetic isolation, subsistence farm management and selection on that farm resulted in the Randall breed we have today. Blood typing, anecdotal evidence and careful observation yield a general overview of the breed's unique ancestry.

By September 1994, a very large number of Dragons had given up on Prodigy and written the Prodigy Dragons off as a lost cause. That month, it was discovered that some Dragons had Internet email addresses, and knew someone that knew someone else's address, and so on... the upshot being that, in the space of roughly a week, about two dozen Dragons had been reunited from across the United States.

A) The programme content was originally designed to address the problem of travel sickness. It has long been established that one of the primary emetic detectors in the process of Emesis (the physical act of being sick) is the vestibular system. The DAVAL programme addresses the vestibular system in the most logical fashion - incidentally a mode which has never been done before.

In 1944, Congress authorized construction of an interstate expressway system connecting major cities and industrial centers. No money was involved in the bill. The project never took off until the awarding of the first contract for I-70 in Missouri, in 1956. North Dakota was the first state to complete its Interstates.
