The earliest recording of a human voice dates from about 1860 and the first American President to be recorded was Benjamin Harrison in 1889 - which means that sadly we'll never know what Washington's or Lincoln's voices sounded like. But Michigan State University does have an archive of recordings of every president from Harrison up through Obama.
To modern ears their voices sound high-pitched and have an rather affected style. I suspect that the high-pitch is partially due to limitations of the microphones and recording methods of the period. And the speaking style likely reflects the fashion of the times as well as the fact that most of them had come from a background of speaking to large crowds without any amplification.
But to me William Taft's speaking sounds the most modern in style and pitch of all of them.
As explained by Craig Ferguson. Clearly we must build a time machine and send someone back to fix history before it all went wrong.

Five Life Lessons from Solitaire
2. Play all the cards you can.
Once you've moved the aces up, it's time to start clicking on cards to make the familiar red-black chain, right? Do you ever hold back from clicking on a 2 or 3, hoping you will get the ace right away and be able to move them directly up? I've discovered that it never helps to hold back in this way - play whatever cards you can now, even if they don't seem to be very strategic at this moment. Each play reveals a new card and builds on the chains you have. You can't reveal any new cards (opportunities) unless you play the ones you can.

So if you have blue eyes and can drink milk without getting sick, then congrats - you're running a fairly recent version of H. Sapiens firmware.
Me - I'm old school and am sticking with the 0.98 (Cro-Magnon) release with its 50,000 years of proven reliability through ice ages and global warmening.
A 2006 study suggests this tolerance for lactose was still developing as early as 3,000 years ago in East Africa. That genetic mutation for digesting milk is now carried by more than 95 percent of Northern European descendants.
...Originally, we all had brown eyes. But about 10,000 years ago, someone who lived near the Black Sea developed a genetic mutation that turned brown eyes blue. While the reason blue eyes have persisted remains a bit of a mystery, one theory is that they act as a sort of paternity test.

Good News Men: AoSHQ Lifestyle Does Not Affect Your Fertility
So there's gonna be little morons after all.
It's the advice every man trying to become a father wants to hear - have a drink and relax.Researchers said yesterday that they have evidence that it probably won't harm their chances of starting a family. Nor will smoking, taking drugs or being overweight.
They found men with unhealthy lifestyles were likely to be just as fertile as those living more sensibly.

15 Originally, we all had brown eyes. But about 10,000 years ago, someone who lived near the Black Sea developed a genetic mutation that turned brown eyes blue.
And how could anyone possibly know this to be so?
Posted by: mama winger at June 13, 2012 09:37 PM (P6QsQ)
The idea is that 10,000 years ago the last ice age sheet was retreating in Europe, the Indo-Europeans are generally thought to have occupied the area north of the Black Sea as the ice retreated, and blue eyes are a European marker as no one else seems to have them.

Um actually they pretty much can - everyone with blue eyes today has a specific mutation in the OCA2 gene and this is only found in European populations and no where else.
And by comparing certain marker genes with unique mutations they can estimate how long groups have been separated genetically. It may not have been 10,000 years ago exactly but they can bracket it to say within 25K to 5,000 years ago.

The Presidents thing is history science tech and culture all at once. Bang!
The coolest sounding one i agree is Taft.
Coolidge sounds like Ross Perot.
Harding sounds like hes drunk, two miles away, or re-enacting the DA's Drug Conference scene in Fear & Loathing.
Wilson sounds like a total weeenie, which in too many critical ways he pretty much was but oh well.
History leads us to believe that Teddy R had a raspy voice from wrestling killing and eating so many lions and wildebeasts, but he too sounds a bit of a milquetoast & not the warrior poet ubermensch we thank for stuff like Yosemite and who we see reflected on Mt Rushmore.

In the past, before the triumph of transnational progressivism there was always another scientist willing to prove you wrong...so you couldn't just hide the data and make things up.
Now you've got a small cadre of "climate scientists", 13 I think it was, that control the field, and there is no one outside of their sphere that can act as a check.
The cold war had many drawbacks, let alone the multi-lateral world proceeding it, but if American scientists pulled this on a regular basis then they'd get their "capitalist scientist" asses handed to them.

I read about the blue eyes a few years ago. Supposedly people with blue eyes are also related.
-------
Ironically, neither the first person to have the mutation, nor his or her children, would have had blue eyes themselves.
Blue eyes are a recessive trait, and the gene must be inherited from both parents. (Green eyes involve a related but different gene, one that is recessive to brown but dominant to blue.)
It wasn't until the original mutant's grandchildren or great-grandchildren hooked up — cousin marriage is the norm through most of human history — that the first blue-eyed person appeared. He or she must have looked pretty odd for the Neolithic era.
Eiberg stresses that the genetic variation, as the press release puts it, is "neither a positive nor a negative mutation."
That's a bit disingenuous, as the mutation also produces greater instance of blond hair (sexually selected for even today) and fair skin, which confers a survival advantage by stimulating greater production of vitamin D in sun-starved northern European countries — exactly where blue eyes are still most prevalent.

Google a couple sentences for the article.

Still - somewhere north of the Indo-Europeans...
The Finns would have been huddled around the Urals, imo. I consider the Ural valleys a better environment for the sort of inbreeding required for blue eyes to stick around than the Black Sea coast would be.

The question I have is whether the blue eyes came from Indo-European speakers, or from people even further north - like the Finns.
10,000+ years ago, the Indo-Europeans were likely on the edge of the ice sheet ... no Finns yet.
They got Indo-European speakers in India, too, and blue eyes there are pretty thin on the ground.
Figuring the Aryans who went into India ca 2000BC numbered 500 in total, and the population of India (specifically the Indus Valley) at the time was perhaps 50,000 ... the religion and languages survived, the people melted into the general population ...

Did you know that the statistic for how many people are killed every year by being hit on the head by a coconut is totally made up. Someone extrapolated it years ago and sincethen it has been added to by population increase factors, but when you try to find statistics of people actually killed by coconuts, they don't support the "data". But still resorts pay huge money to keep coconuts cut off trees. Probably not a bad idea if you've ever seen someone throwing them down after harvesting them, but a purely made up statistic.

So it is "health" time for my son's class. He's in a 4/5 split but the 5th graders are separated and are told that they are not allowed, because it is against WA state law, to discuss anything they learn in their class with other kids. They are learning the HIV stuff and apparently about "killing babies" but we're surmising that's birth control, who knows.
Anyway, the boys saw the girl's video today (they saw the boy one yesterday) and my poor son told me "You know what I learned today mom? Every girl after puberty does that thing. Every. One. Even ladies that act all stuck up, even they do that thing once a month."

See, I've expected for that too, but here's the problem: Who pays attention to her once she's a Democrat?
Yeah, i don't think she'll actually switch parties either, but eventually she will announce she's "reluctantly" (yeah, right) voting for Odumbass giving the usual excuse that the R's aren't for gay marriage, not racially diverse enough, blah blah blah, but she'll keep pretending to be an R. I've asked her on twitter who's she's going to vote for and she never answered.

Well since Wrath of Khan is now 30. I think the villain in the next Star Trek movie is going to be Khan. They have been so tight lipped about who the actor is portraying but he definitely looks human, and I thought I saw one mention that some of the photo stills from filming indicated he would have strength like Spock.
All that says KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! to me.

And how about this for a wild notion: how about these highly-paid movie people come up with A NEW FUCKING IDEA FOR ONCE? Instead of remaking a movie from thirty years ago, which was based on a TV episode from almost fifty years ago, how about making a NEW GOD-DAMNED MOVIE?
Here are half a dozen ideas for a NEW Star Trek movie.
1. The Enterprise is sent to establish peaceful contact with the enigmatic Tholians, but enemies are trying to provoke a conflict.
2. The Enterprise discovers a school of huge space-dwelling creatures heading for a nearby star to spawn. Unfortunately there is now an inhabited planet in the system and the spawning will cause deadly solar flares.
3. Captain Kirk is trying to broker peace between two warring planets, but agents of one side send a woman to seduce him who has been molded into his ideal lover.
4. Raiders have sacked a colony world and carried off hostages including family of a crewmember. They are operating from a base hidden in Romulan territory. Will Kirk risk war to catch the pirates?
5. Klingons have launched a massive attack on the Federation, and the Enterprise is sent on a desperate mission to find the one exiled warlord who can stop them.
6. The Enterprise explores a gigantic and mysterious alien derelict -- but a team of treasure-hunters have gotten there first and been transformed by the machines on board into incredibly powerful beings.
There. I came up with those just sitting here without pants. Why can't people who do this sort of thing for a living do as well?

Me too. My program was on computing partial pressures of gases, in FORTRAN.
The punch card thingys were made of thick metal. I saw them still being used in India 20 years later, at IDM, the company that essentially took over IBM when it left the country after the socialists there tried to pry proprietary info out of them as a condition for doing business.
Coca Cola left then, as well. A substitute called Campa Cola took over. It was actually very good, and their formulation made clear that classic Coke had cardamom in it. When I drink Coke today I can now ID it.

There should be a sales spike in the US this week as they've effectively cut the price $50 with gift card offers for that amount at all the big retailers. The gift card approach lets them avoid an actual price cut, in case enough good software arrives to make the $250 price viable. It won't but I understand the strategy.
Same thing has been happening with the 3DS. If you pay over $150 after gift card, you weren't paying attention. I suspect Nintendo is planning to do a bundle for the holidays that includes Luigi's Mansion 2 on the bundled SD card. They've been saying it's the first big title to be available as a download purchase as well as a cartridge on launch day. Using it to sweeten the deal would be very inexpensive if they don't have to give consumers an actual ROM. I would hope they'd bump up the SD card used to 4 GB to compensate, though. (2 GB is the current upper limit for 3DS games and most are far smaller, of course.)

Then again, the "and so forth" part is where we get ourselves in trouble. Next up, Syria, where the only thing worse than doing nothing will be doing 'something.'
Posted by: Grumpy the Younger at June 14, 2012 12:54 AM (jts1f)
We can't do a dam thing in Syria... Russia does not want us to, and Russia controls the ONLY supply route to our troops in Afganistan, now that the Pakistanis have cut off those routes.
We move in Syria, they cut the supplys to our troops in the field... Obama and Mz. Clinton are idiots to have been manuvered into this position.

80% of my garden is invasive species.....normally they fight to a standstill. The ones I most regret are umbrella sedge, morninglory, and cattails.

I've got a water lily in a 110-gallon agricultural vat that really needs
something more like a swimming pool.....anybody need one? Very nice
white flowers -- it'll even bloom while climbing over the edge. You'd
have to help rassle it out.

I'd love that -- want pictures? Want to know anything about water lilies? The deal is, they've got big rhizomes -- specialized roots. Every foot or so, they pop-out leaves and regular roots, then keep rhizoming along. This bad boy wants to be in a pond at least 20' square, but is in a vat about 3' x 5'. If you have the right setup, you can take every chunk of rhizome with leaves and roots and sell it as a complete plant for $30+ after slicing/dicing/stabilizing in a pot.

So, we asked -- what happens if you find some lantana in your horse pasture? And the locals told us: "the authorities come in and burn it down."
"What, the lantana?" "No, the whole pasture."

If you don't want it mowed, install barriers.
And what's the fun of thornless brambles anyway? We've got some on the corner of the property where people might think of hopping over. Not even the raccoons go there.

2. The Enterprise discovers a school of huge space-dwelling creatures heading for a nearby star to spawn. Unfortunately there is now an inhabited planet in the system and the spawning will cause deadly solar flares.
and
6. The Enterprise explores a gigantic and mysterious alien derelict -- but a team of treasure-hunters have gotten there first and been transformed by the machines on board into incredibly powerful beings.

I like the way you think. These two could work, and work well.
