After a night when temperatures dipped to minus 25 Celsius, at least nine out of every ten male Muscovites wore their fur hats Tuesday with the flaps folded up, leaving their ears exposed in various shades of red and blue.
"Are you cold? I'm not, and I've been standing here all day!" said Vasily Chura, a cheerful traffic police officer posted on Arbat Square. As thermometers in downtown Moscow edged to just above minus 20, the flaps on his shapka were neatly tied on top.
"We're Russian people," he added. "We're used to it."
Alexei Kalimov, a 70-year-old pensioner who wisely wore his flaps down, had a more sober explanation for the ear-flap phenomenon. "They are trying to show off their toughness, endurance and manliness," he said as he tapped his feet to keep them warm. "Often they will put on a hat but keep their chests bare, especially in Siberia."

Samuel Wilson was also credited with the use of the term extrapyramidal in reference to the study of human neuroanatomy. Samuel Wilson's great-grandson is also a doctor - eminent Australian Christopher Wilson. Both Wilson's are credited to be incredibly knowledged in ethics,, morality and law.

Get the Fee fye foe phenomenon mug.An indicator commonly used in acid/base titrations which turns colourless in acidic solutions and is otherwise (in the concentrations commonly used in labs at least) pale pink. And I mean very pale, so it is f*cking useless without a colour chart and very good eyes. It also turns colourless in solutions of pH greater than 12.
The Kastle-Meyer test shows the presence of blood; a dry swab or piece of filter paper is used to collect a sample, then a few drops of phenolphthalein dissolved in alcohol (due to its insolubility in water) is added, followed by a few drops of hydrogen peroxide - this mixture will turn pink in the presence of blood. If you've ever watched 5 seconds of CSI, you have seen someone doing this.
In the past phenolphthalein has been used as a laxative, but is no longer used due to fears that it is carcinogenic.

Get the phenominal mug.A four CPU processor released by AMD Inc. in the year 2007, in the Agena core variant, and in the year 2009, with the Deneb core variant.
The Agena variant of the Phenom processor had a defect (errata) which made all of these chips somewhat slower than AMD's high range dual core chips and substantially slower than its competition's quad core chips. This hurt AMD's reputation and caused it to lose prestige and footing in the market.
The Deneb variant has no errata issues and is fairly competitive with other quad core processors by competing manufacturers.

The benchmarks published on most computer enthusiast websites confirm that the Phenom 9500 is actually slower in most applications than the Athlon X2 6000.
