No, Virginia is the companion to the Dresden Dolls' 2006 album Yes, Virginia. It has some B-sides from the sessions for that record, including "The Gardner," a song called "Lonesome Organist Rapes Page Turner" that we hope isn't about the actual Lonesome Organist, "The Kill," and "Boston." It also has a good-natured cover

Considerada uma "Obra-prima" da panificação, as origens do Dresden Stollen perdem-se não muito longe de 1400 AD. Originalmente, este bolo era cozido sem manteiga ou leite, até que Lord Ernst da Saxony e o seu irmão Albrecht apelaram ao Papa para anular a chamada "Butter-Verbot" ("Proibição da Manteiga"), em vigor na época. O Santo Padre declarou (no que veio a ser conhecido como o "Bufferbrief")

I've never actually listened to the Dresden Dolls, but I do like how they get all dressed up as part of their act. I remember a year or two ago, they played at the Paradise Rock Club near BU and there was a huge crowd of fans dressed up as well. It's always cool when you really love a band and can really get into their performances.I wiki'ed them since I don't know much about them and learned two things. First, they're from Boston - which gives them +12 to their coolness factor. And then there's this little tidbit:They describe their style as "Brechtian punk cabaret", a phrase invented by Palmer because she was "terrified" that the press would invent a name that "would involve the word gothic," and are part of an underground dark cabaret movement that started gaining momentum in the early 1990s.So tickets go on sale tomorrow, 11/10 at noon EST at Ticketmaster. They're concert is going to be at the Orpheum Theatre on Dec 29, 2007 (7:30 PM).As usual, log on at 11:55am tom

After the exciting IAESTE meeting in Prague I couldn’t say no to the next IAESTE meeting, this time in Dresden, city of kings and capital of the old kingdom of Saxony. I didn’t expect Dresden to be such a great city, in fact right now it has become my favorite city in Germany, it´s even more impressive and beautiful than Berlin.
On Saturday we had an interesting guided tour through the city, here are some of the best pictures:

Unfortunately the city was totally destroyed after suffering one of the worst war massacres in history, the bombing of Dresden, where the casualties suffered were similar to those in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A lot of historical building were rebuilt after the war but a lot of them were demolished by the DDR so that new concrete buildings “for the people” could be built.

Not that I had any hopes left for a Second Season of THE DRESDEN FILES, but it’s still sad to finally hear the official announcement that such a great show has been cancelled.
When The Dresden Files first aired I wasn’t sure I would like it, but after the first episode I was hooked. I am a fan of anything that has to do with magic and supernatural (isn’t it funny that I don’t actually watch Supernatural?!). Paul Blackthorne as Harry Dresden was wonderful and if I ever needed a wizard, I would definitely put my faith in Harry Dresden.
At least we can take comfort in the fact that we can watch season one all over again on
And if that’s not enough to satisfy you, you can buy the DVD of the first season coming out on August 7th. You can click on the link below to purchase Season One of The Dresden Files on Amazon.

The Dresden Files leaves, not with a magic induced bang, but with a cowardly SciFi Wire whimper.
What can the people at the SciFi Channel be thinking? Why would they scrap one of the few good shows they have? The Dresden Files was a great show. Painkiller Jane is crap, why is that still around? That’s [...]

Another great one for this week. Justine Suissa's vocals are absolutely gorgeous, and ever since "Burned with Desire", I've looked forward to any new vocals from Justine. Her voice just melts me.

The newly founded NaMLab is a research joint venture between Qimonda Dresden and Technical University of Dresden. It focuses on novel materials and structures as building blocks for future generations of devices in Si-technology. The work of the proposed dissertation will be embedded in the research activities on novel dielectrics (high-k materials) and on nanowires structures, including nanowire growth and processing. It will take part in existing international collaborations within several publicly funded projects and will have close ties with industrial activities.Topics :Processing of semiconductor nanowires, including positioning, contacting, covering with dielectrics etc. with the goal to realise novel devices such as memory cells, Device characterisation, Investigation of transport mechanisms, localisation phenomena etc. in collaboration with another PhD student.Conditions:The position is open starting in Feb. 2007. Initially, the experimental work will be carried out in Munich.

Chessdom.com has placed a list of the teams headed to Dresden and members of those teams. The best part about this project is that they started with an admittedly incomplete list and let it grow through reader input. It's a good marketing strategy and the list itself is useful to all media outlets. Yet again Chessdom has proven its worth as a media outlet rivaling even the mighty chessbase.

The US is ranked 8th in men and 5th in women teams at the Dresden Olympiad. What mistakes did they make? I think there has been a lot of pressure this year to repeat past excellent performances. For example take the appointment of Kaidanov as the coach for the women's team. I know Kaidanov to emphasize calculation and he's likely to have given the women's team a study regimen prior to playing in t
