Never ever any of the results of the paper are practical with the real genomes consisting of long repeat regions. The authors of the paper are also not aware of the fundamentals of genomics and are not competent enough to work in this area.

After WW2 the Japanese were so poor and starving they had no choice but to sell off some of their best artwork to the Americans for rockbottom prices. (it was known as onion skin living ie peel off a layer at a time). Now when there is a major show of woodblock prints in Tokyo, they have to borrow most of it from Boston!!.tony smythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771763749137149585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154699950576339769.post-12739840868456424622014-08-25T13:12:29.409+02:002014-08-25T13:12:29.409+02:00Wonderful connection!

Bob Wilson loved that essay.<br /><br />When I first went to Europe in 1985 a friend gave me a card with a Sun Ra quote, "You made a mistake and did something wrong, so make a mistake and do something right."<br /><br />Have you head the recent Lady Gaga song "Venus" which samples Sun Ra's "Rocket #9." I enjoyed Graham Lock's book on Ellington, Sun Ra, and Anthony Braxton.<br /><br />"Space is the place, next stop Mars."<br /><br />PS I loved Olsen's essay "Projective Verse" and read it repeatedly in the 1980's.Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154699950576339769.post-52173565401404045772011-11-23T19:03:33.955+01:002011-11-23T19:03:33.955+01:00Just want to stop by and say I love your style and...Just want to stop by and say I love your style and what you bring to the table.<br /><br />You've greatly influenced me the last few years.PQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491626995530401441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154699950576339769.post-19737327399497054592011-09-10T19:35:02.067+02:002011-09-10T19:35:02.067+02:00Spaceship earth is doing well for us all!

After all, one model not mentioned in the book – yet – that I imagine for the 2012 Solstice is a complete revision of languages, maybe the English language will become useless in the face of the new technology awaiting us, just around the corner, you know, the translinguistic goo or T9000 Glossalalia?... (excuse me, I’m off into a short story scene once more.)<br />The end of the word! Might fit with the idea of the end of history, in that without words the imperial history of empire and all that resembles it, crumbles into dust, and then gas, big farts escaping out into the cosmos. Yeah, and Finnegans Wake has done most of the hard work for us, yeah, you knew FW would come into this didn’t you, eh. Haha. Well, I got this from Bobby really, but I do think that FW and the 2012 phenomena are complimentary to each other in that they both represent the end of the word, but also, interestingly to me, link to the sinking of the Titanic in April 1912.<br /><br />Oh, and one other thing about Terence and the 2012 phenomena, one thing that distinguishes Terence from the rest of the crowd seems to be not only his adoption of positive psychoactive drug related theories connecting ancient cultures and the use of various intoxicating sacraments, such as DMT by various time-space obsessed shamans around the world, to gain insight into the sub-microscopic and macro-cosmological realms, but Mckenna’s modern day - active resistance - and campaigning against prohibition and the criminal war on some people who use some drugs, he was in the brave warrior tradition of Leary, Wilson and a few others. So I ask the question, can we have our world block-party 2012, and time-travel wherever we like, without our drugs? Umm, now, that kind of question raises the question of a chemically mediated 2012 phenomena, a super happy knowledge virus? Edible internet Solstice sales? But seriously, as I just read somewhere in the book – many of the 2012 experts have not had a psychedelic experience, but claim to know all about Mayan culture, their symbolism and calendar and what they mean. I must agree, as a bit of a psychonaut myself that the insight gained from positive tripping on psychedelic compounds of one form or another might be THE most important experience and question for any scientist, in any field, anywhere, as it brings into question the nature of the experiment, the experimenter and hidden variables with a striking clarity and neutrality, at least in my limited experiences. Terence often seemed to me echoing this sentiment, and again, other than Leary and Wilson, and maybe Bill Hicks.Steve Fly Agarichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471582582737353275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154699950576339769.post-56467121526539474492009-02-05T19:25:00.000+01:002009-02-05T19:25:00.000+01:00Kudos for your extensive research.

Cowards.<BR/>I remember the movie 'First contact' when they had deciphered the signal from outer space and one part appeared to be herr Schickelgruber talking to the German masses as it was recorded during the olympics. Kinda would give the creeps if it ever happened, makes one think of Zombie 50 Ft. Nazis from Outer Space.borskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962041287879482042noreply@blogger.com
