WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Christian and Jewish religious leaders May 21 formally threw their support behind a reworked U.S. Senate bill that addresses environmental climate change.
During a media briefing on Capitol Hill, Bishop Thomas G. Wenski -- chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on International Justice and Peace -- joined bill co-sponsors Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Joseph I. Lieberman, I-Conn., and John W. Warner, R-Va., and other Christian and Jewish religious leaders to discuss what he called "ground-breaking legislation" that also takes the poor into consideration when combating global warming.
"We welcome and support the leadership of these senators in lifting up and seriously addressing how climate change will disproportionately affect the poor and vulnerable in our country and around the world," said Bishop Wenski, who heads the Diocese of Orlando, Fla. "This represents a significant advance on previous proposals. We are grateful for the hard work and renewed commitment this legislation represents."
The bill -- set to be debated on the Senate floor June 2 -- calls for reductions in U.S. carbon emissions and the development of clean energy technology. It also establishes an International Climate Change Adaptation and National Security Fund expected to generate more than $342 billion over the life of the bill to help developing countries adjust to climate change and avoid its destabilizing effects.
At the request of the religious leaders, Boxer, Lieberman and Warner added tax cuts and energy rebates for low and middle-income taxpayers in the bill to help those citizens pay for costs related to increased fuel prices.
"The real inconvenient truth is that those who contribute least to climate change will be affected the most and have the least capacity to cope or escape," Bishop Wenski said. "The poor and vulnerable are most likely to pay the price of inaction or unwise actions. We know from our everyday experience their lives, homes, children and work are most at risk."
To gain votes from Republican senators, Warner said the bill gives the president authority to re-evaluate climate-change regulations during times of economic crisis or in the case that advancing technology falls behind schedule.
"Together, we've made this a tripartisan effort," Lieberman said, referring to the fact that the trio of senators represent the Democratic, Republican and Independent parties. "Now, we just hope this gets through the Senate."
The lawmakers said they have more than 50 committed votes from other colleagues and are diligently working to get 10 more senators to back the bill.
"God does say to Adam and Eve, make use of this natural bounty, but protect it and guard it for future generations," Lieberman said.
Rabbi David Saperstein, director and counsel of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said global warming has caused severe droughts that plague the earth from sub-Saharan Africa to America, causing forest fires, compromised drinking water and lost crops for farmers.
"We are running out of time and we need to act and act now," Rabbi Saperstein said. "Today the whole garden is our earth and we need to tend to it. We're taking a giant, groundbreaking step to do something remarkable."

My son likes this Obermeyer jacket, and it looks great, he is 10 but tall and big for his age. The only thing he needs to get used to are the pit-zips, he feels somewhat uncomfortable with his arms down, but I'm sure he'll get used to it and love the feature when he needs it. This Obermeyer jacket is really for skiing and at the sale price, it was a bargain.
My son is 11 years old but he is short for his age. He normally wears a size 10/12 in boys clothes, so I ordered him this jacket in a size 12. It has plenty of room to grow into, so we plan to use it next Spring when we go ski. It should fit him for two seasons unless he goes through a growth spurt. This Obermeyer jacket is very well made and looks very warm with thick insulation. At the same time, it's not bulky. My son loved it.
The jacket is really nice and perfect for skiing and snowboarding! Really waterproof and insulated.

|more "on the DL" opinions
Today, over at The Baseball Analysts, you penned a column asserting that, especially given the steroid controversy raging in baseball, "the BBWAA is the proper body to choose the inductees for the most revered of the various professional sports halls of fame," and that "there is no one better qualified to do it."
I respectfully dissent. In fact, there are few who are worse qualified.
Voters in all regards -- be it for the Hall of Fame or the White House -- are charged with surveying the fast amount of information out there and making an informed decision.
A comparison to the Presidential election is instructive. Typically, in what has become an 18-month trek in which candidates make their merits known via countless stump-speeches, debates, press conferences, and the like.
The Hall of Fame election process, by and large, is void of this.
The Presidential election also has a number of journalists who, by virtue of what issues they cover, how they cover them, and in the case of editorials, how these players analyze the issues, help define the election process. Our language has adapted to recognize this fact, dubbing the certain members of the media as "opinion makers."
In the Hall of Fame context, though, this is ever-present. Members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) are the standard-bearers for sports opinion. You and your brethren dictate the tone and substance of the issues that we, the fans, discuss daily over email, at lunch, and at the water cooler. You spend your days writing articles that, you hope, will convince us that you are indeed correct. You are the "opinion makers" in our context.
To restrict the voting for President to this class of pundits is, for good reason, an absurd result. The same applies in Hall of Fame voting.
Mr. Schmuck, you and the other BBWAA writers pen sports editorials for the purpose of convincing us that you are right. If your arguments are strong, well-founded, and convincing, then it should not matter if you vote for Hall members or if a panel of fans does. Your points will carry the day. But if your arguments are weak, then why should they still be the basis for a vote? Why, pray tell, should the obligation be on us voiceless fans to convince you that you are wrong?
I am not suggesting that we should open up these elections to every Joe off the street, lest the Hall turn into as much of a joke as the All-Star Game. You are entirely correct that, by and large, the members of the BBWAA have acted as terrific gatekeepers over the years. That should continue.
The BBWAA should, in its effort to democratize the election process, choose regular fans as delegates. Allow people like myself to apply for the job of Hall of Fame voter. Give us the opportunity to demonstrate to you our resume of fandom, our knowledge of the game, etc. We watch game after game, crunch stat after stat, and root for (and against) players and teams year-round. We know the game backward and forward. We are perfectly capable of making informed decisions. And you are perfectly capable of identifying us.
Just don't ask us who we'd vote for. Let us approach that in our own way. Your job, again, is to frame the debate, and to convince us to vote one way or the other.
You already have the power of the media. You don't need the power of the vote. The fans need a voice. Don't keep all the power to yourselves.

AbstractCancer patients are usually tolerant to the antigens expressed on tumor cells. Triggering an active immune response by the patients to tumor-associated antigens represents one of the most promising prospects in cancer therapy. In this project, we will perform a preclinical study of the anti-idiotype approach to trigger an active immune response against CEA. Certain anti-idiotypic antibodies directed against the variable regions of antibodies specific for a given antigen can mimic (i. e., bear the internal image of) this antigen. In several experimental systems, immunization with anti-idiotypic antibodies elicited specific immunity in lieu of the original antigen. Immunization with anti-idiotype antibodies as surrogate antigens is a promising approach to trigger immunity to tolerized antigens such as tumor antigens. They have already generated baboon polyclonal and rat monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies that antigenically mimic CEA. In this project, they will assess whether these anti-idiotype antibodies can function as surrogate antigens in hamsters. Hamsters have been chosen since they are the only known non-immunodeficient animal species in which human CEA-producing tumors may grow. Hamsters represent a unique model to test whether active anti-idiotype immunization can protect against tumor growth. This Phase I study will represent the basis for more extensive preclinical and clinical studies in Phase II.

My search for the best tablet pc to write on continues, and this time the subject is the Asus T101MT
The T101MT is an 10 inch SVGA widescreen (1024x600) Intel Atom N450 powered Netbook class PC so it's basic performance parameters are pretty much the same as any of the recent N450 Netbooks such as the Lenovo S10-3T.
Inside it looks pretty plain and simple with not much in the sense of bells and whistles. You get a Chiclet style keyboard.
Which I can't tell you how well it works because I have been running an experiment to keep off the keyboard for as long as possible. As is typical for convertible Tablet PCs, the screen hinge rotates in only one direction.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term Tablet PC, that means the T101MT's screen can be folded 180 degrees and closed down on the keyboard to become a writing pad.
Unlike the Lenovo S10-3T though the Asus T101MT reaches the This feels quite a bit heavy region due partly to the higher capacity battery.
Depending on your usage and how you choose to throttle the CPU using Asus's Super Hybrid Engine app, you should be able to get around 3 ~ 4 hours of battery life.
The Asus T101MT does not have an accelerometer and thus doesn't do auto screen rotation (which I absolutely HATE!) Instead you press and hold on to a button beside the power button to rotate the screen.
As it is a full sized netbook, the Asus T101MT doesn't skimp on ports. You get all 3 USB ports in total, and the whole shebang of standard connectors at the back.
The main exhaust port is on the left side, along with the audio out and SD Card slot.
And now for the people who are interested in modding the T101MT, the bottom panel.
After I went through the shock of not seeing the usual regulatory stickers, Windows key stickers, serial number, etc. etc. (they're all under the battery) I noticed the lone panel on the back. That's the EXTRA memory slot. The Asus T101MT ships with 1GB of RAM... INSIDE the system underneath the keyboard, also known as the serious modders access only location. So you can add one extra GB of RAM while the additional slot, problem is that... because there's already one piece of RAM in the system, any other piece you get would have to work well with the preexisting one, so be sure to boot into Windows and crunch some numbers when buying additional RAM to ensure that the new RAM you bought works fine with the existing one.
Asus is not scared of Steve Jobs whole It's Wrong To Have A Stylus spew, and has a magnetic stylus silo on the right side of the screen.
Not just any cheap piece of plastic, it has a metal body giving it weight and feels like you're holding a real pen.
And it extends to a more reasonable pen like length.
And now let's talk about the touch screen, now we come to the one reason that I was willing to go through the wrath of my wife screaming "You bought ANOTHER ONE?!?!?!" to get the Asus T101MT. My whole purpose in getting Tablet PCs is to find that best machine to bring to meetings, write notes on, and brain storm on. And the Asus T101MT's touchscreen is almost close to being the perfect thing to write on.
First of all, it's a resistive screen instead of a capacitive one. Not as good as a real digitizer but a resistive screen is much better to write on than a capacitive one as I mentioned here.
Then it has 2 point multitouch so once app developers finally start making mutlitouch aware apps for Windows 7 you can use them properly.
But those reasons are not what tipped the scales in favor of risking the wrath of my wife vs living a calm peaceful life. What tipped the scales was that.
The Asus T101MT's touchscreen has PALM REJECTION.
I've seen palm rejection in resistive touchscreens before with my Fujitsu P1610 and U1010. They worked, but still left quite a bit to be desired.
After testing the Asus T101MT's palm rejection in the shop, I knew that I had to have it! While testing it in the shop I found that it could detect the palm and reject input from it 95% of the time! So I was elated when I found that out.
The main difference between the T101MT's palm rejection and the previous ones I used was that you have to specifically turn it on by running a program which Asus docks to the task bar. That's probably why it works so well, because in previous cases the touchscreen was basically trying to guess between what's valid input and what's not. Whereas for the T101MT the user specifically tells it that they ONLY want stylus points to be detected and nothing else.
As I was writing around in OneNote and in Journal I suddenly noticed something, my ink input looked different... it looked as if... the touchscreen was supplying Windows with PRESSURE INFORMATION!
Which means that not only did the touch screen do palm rejection, it was pressure sensitive as well! Which made it a very interesting touch screen indeed, and such an interesting touch screen deserves a video!
But... alas it is still not perfect, while the palm rejection works very well, it seems to falter at times, and fails to detect pen inputs. Not enough to call it a failure, but enough for me to get nit picky about. Still, it is by far the BEST Palm Rejection I've used outside of a digitizer! And that's saying a lot!
After using the T101MT, I sincerely wish that Asus is gonna put this same touchscreen (or an even better one!) on their Windows 7 powered slates in the future (hopefully something that's 10", anything bigger is too bulky to be called a pad).
So what's the verdict? If you're looking for an affordable tablet pc to write on NOW, I don't see why the Asus T101MT won't work for you. If you can wait, there should be better things come in the future, and of course if you have the money. You can go for one of the tablets which offer a hybrid digitizer for the BEST writing experience!
Toys are interesting things, and I like to buy toys which seem to have uses sort of funky technology application or systems design. Because it's always neat that sometimes you see some interesting application of tech and design on something that's designated as a toy. But I guess the things I've been working on for the past few weekends don't exactly count as toys. First of all there's this.
This is a Kamen Rider Double Cyclone Joker 1/8 SCALE MODEL. If you still don't get it.. it's a MODEL, as in cut from plastic frames and build up with your own bare hands type of scale model. But.. from a far it looks just like any other toy statue figure, on close inspection though.
You can see where I cut the parts from the frame, the flaws of the middle black line, the decals, etc. etc. So why did I get this? Quite simply I wanted to see why the heck is Bandai getting into this market, because I had one question in my head. Which was there're many many MANY MANY companies that make figures and other collectibles, and they pride themselves in making detailed figures. So why is Bandai making a line that's basically requires the customer to try and make a figure look as good as the others? Because unpainted and unfinished, a model will never be able to compete with a retail figure.
After completing this model though I guess I can see some of the appeal, first of all the figure is HUGE!!!! It is at 1/8th scale, which makes it stand at about 24CM high. It's actually quite posable given the fact that it's just a model. Secondly, If I had the proper equipment and skills to finish the model properly it's basically cheaper than a model that stands this high.
While there is value here if you are the type that builds models, if you're more of the I'd like to have to cool figure to put on display you should probably avoid this even if you really like the character.
And at the same time I got the Kamen Rider I also got this.
It's a GUNDAM! I never thought I'd get another Gundam in my life considering my previous experiences with them. Also I know I totally lack the skill to make a Gundam look decent. But... this is no ordinary Gundam model. This is a 1/144 REAL GRADE Gundam RX-78-2, it's a SMALL model, but the complexity, detail and posability of the model is very high!
You'll only feel astonished by the degree of posability if you're familiar with Gundam models in general. Detail wise, before painting the model already posses some nice detailing due to the use of different colored plastics.
And here's a Zoom.It version for people to see how detailed it is, and how crummy my decal job was.
It even comes with a CORE FIGHTER! (Again... only Gundam fans would appreciate this).
And it's a WORKING CORE FIGHTER! (Wheels have to removed though)
But.... the instructions to make the Core Fighter comes AFTER finishing the main model, and I couldn't for the heck of me remove the placeholder piece to insert the Core Fighter in, so I guess I'll just leave it outside.
Why did I get this? Was it for the detailing? No... I'm not a Gunpla enthusiast so I don't care about that. I was more interested in the fact that the joints, eg. knees, elbows, waist. are in COMPLETED form on the parts frame. You don't have to put the together, you just snap it off, trim off some places where they secured the movable bits and.. it's done! It's amazing to me since I'm still wondering how they manage to mold movable pieces of plastic together in the tree without increasing costs too much.
Even though it's small... or maybe because it's small, this was one HECK of a complicated model to make! Due to the misread of the instructions I accidentally broke an armour plating on the leg, and cut off something I should have pulled out! I haven't even stuck the stickers on yet! I'm no Gunpla enthusiast, but I guess if you want to get the gist of how complicated these things can get without having to shell out loads of money on a 1/60 PERFECT GRADE this would give you an idea of how much trouble the real enthusiast go through making their masterpieces. In total I think I spent half a day trying to put this thing together!
And.. quick size comparison picture
The Beam Saber is TALLER than the Gundam itself... does it have something to prove?
ps. I know... the lighting in these pics are HORRIBLE, I'm not used to either taking things that are this big and errr.. tall. And also things which are small and tiny. Come on.. look at my shooting setup? I guess I'd consider a lightbox if I actually make money off this site.
I've recently acquired what I must say is close to being the best affordable Windows 7 Tablet PC. And now I shall run an experiment, for the next 7 days, starting from yesterday I shall ONLY interface with the system using TOUCH ONLY, I will not type on the physical keyboard or track pad, by doing this I'll be able to then properly experience what's it like using a slate Windows 7 PC and how is the user experience.
This experience will definitely help add some weight to the statement which I've always been saying, that while the Windows 7 OS is quite Touch friendly and capable, the APPS aren't. So stop blaming the OS for not being touch friendly.
First thing I did yesterday after installing Windows 7 Ultimate on the thing (Cause I'm testing driver compatibility as well, so I'm booting from VHD) was to perform my touch optimization settings.
So let's see how long I can last without touching the physical keyboard!
I decided to go for a little test run to try and see how to best get 3D effect pictures with the Sony NEX, 3D effect here being that when you view the photos with a compatible viewer and glasses such as Stereo Photo Maker
For each pic below I'll also include the link to the MPO so you can view the thing in actual 3D.
Now instead of calling it 3D, I'm gonna be using the word POP, cause that's the effect I get when I see it. The images aren't really 3D, it's just an effect, and the effect is how the images POP out of the screen towards you.
First... remember that from the shooting tips on the camera :-
MPO : http://cid-9d81d8eb3fbbb0ea.photos.live.co...ts/DSC00331.MPO
The BEST way to get pictures that POP, is when you have things that overlap each other in different depth areas, when you view the picture above in 3D, notice that the slide on the left pops a little, where as if you look at the archway, and then the gate behind it, you can feel that one is in front of the other.
MPO : http://cid-9d81d8eb3fbbb0ea.photos.live.co...ts/DSC00332.MPO
This picture demonstrates 2 things, first being that because the dustbin has nothing close to it to make it pop, there's not much 3D effect there. But there's some if you look closely.
2nd is that, remember you can take 3D shots in 3 sizes, 16:9, Standard, Wide. In terms of angle and arc, Standard is about 180 degrees, Wide is about 270 degrees, 16:9 is errr... 45 degrees? Basically while you'd use standard and wide for scenary, if you needed to take a 3D photo of a SINGLE OBJECT, switch size to 16:9 focus lock on the subject, tilt the camera to the left abit then fully depress and start sweeping right. After practicing a few times you should be able to get your subject in the middle sweet spot for 3D pop.
MPO : http://cid-9d81d8eb3fbbb0ea.photos.live.co...ts/DSC00347.MPO
This is a good example of how when you take panorama pictures try to make sure your scene works well with a single exposure setting. half of the scene was in shade, half was not, since I started from the shade part, the unshaded parts are over exposed... But.. this is not a post about shooting tips, its about making POPing 3D pictures!
MPO : http://cid-9d81d8eb3fbbb0ea.photos.live.co...ts/DSC00349.MPO
When viewing in 3D you can see the proper depth difference between the front and rear chairs, so you get POP!
MPO : http://cid-9d81d8eb3fbbb0ea.photos.live.co...ts/DSC00357.MPO
Ok, last one, just a simple scene, but the stone markers and tree around the area give each other the POP feeling. Hope my little experimental afternoon helps everyone understand how to make pictures with 3D POP effect, oh in case you're wondering I'm looking at them with RED/BLUE glasses since I dont have any 3D hardware.
Ok, better get this post up before IE9 Beta hits and I miss my chance for doing it. The recent IE9 Platform Previews have demonstrated that MS is able to put new features and enhancements into IE just as fast as Chrome and Firefox can. Contray to how people has always viewed IE as being the slowest to evolve and react to changes in the web landscape.
But how was this possible? It was because the IE9 preview was deployed as a separate app, instead of upgrading the internal browser component that is in Windows. AFAIK it's a Microsoft policy that if you fix or update something that was delivered in the core Windows OS, you'll have to run a full test suite AGAINST Windows OS again. This would severely hampers speedy updates and feature enhancements such as needed for a web browser.
With Windows 7, a bulk of non system essential apps were already decoupled in the form of Windows Live Essentials. While leaving the core Windows 7 with some basic tools, this allows the programs that make up Live Essentials to be updated faster and without the bulk of testing that's required if it was considered part of the OS.
So.... what if IE9 was delivered as a separate program as well? Moving forward, what if IE8 becomes the standard included browser that comes with Windows, and then on install, you get to choose IE9 as well as the other browsers from the browser candidate screen (*sarcarsm* Thank you EU *sarcarsm*) to use the latest and greatest web technologies vs the standard no frills browser of IE8.
IF this does happen then most likely for us developers who use the IE browser component in our applications, we'll be given a COM shim that's about to use either IE9 if it's installed, or previous versions of IE if it's not.
It's an interesting scenario and proposition when I think about it... cause if IE9 does sit outside the "Included in Windows" category, the ability to quickly add features and functionalities to it would make it a browser to be reckoned with.
This is just my guess of what might happen. We'll know on September 15th 2010 when the IE9 Beta is launched to see if my prediction is correct.
Of course.... it's possible someone already mentioned this before, but I thought about this idea the moment the first Platform Preview was launched, just took awhile for me to write this.
Look here!
Not often that I get to take pics with WZ.
The recent launch of the Apple iPad has fueled a hunger for keyboardless tablet browsing appliances, and who better to feed such a hunger than your favorite ODM manufacturers in China. Armed with the availability of the relatively free Google Android OS, those guys have been churning out many an Android tablet with various functions and looks. (Check some out here!)
I've recently acquire one such Android Tablet, it's called the eFren and is an Android 1.5 powered tablet made rebranded by local company Mi-Store.
Yes, it looks like a extra large iPod.
Here is their brochure for the eFren. (Presented to you by Zoom.It!)
So... what can you expect to find from a company that couldn't even put the correct URL of their website on the brochure? (The Mi-Store website URL is www.mi-store.com.my, the brochure says www.mi-store.com )
Pretty much a standard job of just ordering a couple of thousand units from China and slapping your company logo on it. As a web browsing tablet the eFren is pretty decent.
Also because this thing only has Android 1.5, it can't run Flash on web pages so you can't use it as a portable Farmville device.
It has the following ports running on the side where the On/Off button is... oh yeah... that center button? That's the on/off button. Yup... that's what you get for trying to copy the iPad in design and functionality.
You get a mic, Micro SDHC slot, a USB client port, HARD power switch, another USB client port, headphone jack, and the charge port. The first problem that the eFren has is that it CANNOT CHARGE FROM THE USB PORTS. I tried with my 5V2A charges and various cables and none of them delivered juice to the eFren contray to what their support people are saying on the Facebook Page.
One good thing about the eFren is that it comes with a PROPER USB OTG cable (What does PROPER USB OTG cable mean? Check here) So you can connect thumb drives to the eFren and consume files from it. It DOES NOT have enough current to power a hard disk, so only low power devices. It's supposed to be able to recognize a few USB 3G Modems and use them for internet connections, but I don't have one ready on me to try out that feature. Seems to be hit or miss based on the feedback from the Facebook page though.
If you look back to the eFren brochure on top you'll see them touting their WIDE RANGE of media support. Well.. I can tell you that it plays RMVB files PRETTY WELL, that's probably due to the fact that if you want your device to be able to survive in the Asian market you NEED to have RMVB support nailed down. The eFren is not able to play 720P content smoothly, and here the deception of an OEM Chinese device shows, the eFren contains a DEMO clip with the filename of "Coral Reef Adventure 720P.avi" allowing the salesman to show potential customers that the eFren plays 720P video properly. But... in reality the file's video resolution is just 848x480 and has some pretty weird video/audio bitrates. Check it out in the video below.
The brochure as well as the YouTube video below mentions that H.264 is supported.
The video is PARTLY TRUE, the E-Fren's video player CAN open MKV files. But when I gave it an MKV file with a H.264 stream, I heard audio but I see no video. (For those of you unfamiliar with how video files work, MKV is just a container, inside the container you can have video and audio streams of different types of encoding, H.264 just happens to be what they usually use with MKV files) Given that they've proven they WILL lie with the Coral Reef video, I'm pretty sure the MKV file played here probably doesn't have a H.264 video stream.... hmmm.. maybe it's an RMVB file in an MKV container? UPDATE : I threw a 480P H.264 video into the thing, and it can be played, so it means that H.264 support is there.. but fickle, so be warned.
Now, misinformation like this is pretty much PAR for these kind of products. So there's no use crying foul over something like this. Given that it has a pretty decent web browser, and a pretty decent RMVB player if those are the 2 main functionalities you were looking for. I would have told you the eFren is a pretty good choice, since you're buying a low quality rebadged product which might break down at any moment, buying it locally instead of online means you can replace it... hopefully.
It's small, it's portable, it surfs the web. Normally I would have said "If you find the price satisfactory, and it meets your requirements go ahead and buy it!" But this time I'm just gonna flat out say DON'T BUY THIS!
Not because it doesn't run Froyo, not because of the lies of video support. But because the eFren shipped with a TERRIBLE design flaw.
You can't set the screen brightness to MAXIMUM.
At close to maximum (95% on the brightness bar) the screen is pretty decent, but you'll need 100% brightness if you want to even TRY to use it in direct sunlight. At 100% brightness the screen actually looks quite good.
At 100% brightness the screen flickers like hell on battery power!
Now that's just ridiculous! You'd think that when they accepted the good they went through a proper phase of testing to make sure something as simple as setting brightness to 100% would work properly. What pissed me off more was that when I was shown the device at the store I saw the sales person fiddling with the screen brightness, at first I thought it was because the device had a low battery charge and he just dropped the brightness so it could be used for a while. But after I found this flickering problem I guess it's highly possible that HE KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM and choose to conceal it.
And because of this simple little problem I must say that "No, the Mi-Store eFren IS NOT WORTH the RM599 price tag!"
Just wait a bit more if you're looking for a web surfing MID, Froyo devices should be hitting the market soon and maybe they'll work better than the eFren.
PC Fair used to be a place where you can get some nice deals, and see some nice gear on sale. But... in recent years it has just devolved into nothing might just a great big waste of time since things aren't any cheaper at PC Fair, in fact there're instances where things are more expensive then what you can get at Low Yat. While it is true that you get more freebies at PC Fair, you have to ask yourself if it's worth the time and effort of getting over to KLCC and making your way through the crowd.
So.. I made this short video detailing the PC Fair experience. It's short and boring... kinda like going to PC Fair yourself.
When Silverlight 2.0 was released, it came with the ability to view image pyramids built in. The feature is called Deep Zoom and it's a very interesting function, you can find GREAT examples of Deep Zoom usage over at www.deepzoomstudio.com.
Deep Zoom at it's most basic form is to allow you to see BIG pictures without downloading the whole thing at once and killing your bandwidth. For example, this knife picture below is a demonstration of Deep Zoom.
This is the RAW untouched file of the image I used in my Leatherman Style CS review, straight from the camera its 4592 x 3056 in size. And it's of course unheard of to upload the raw image onto the web for viewing purposes. But thanks to Deep Zoom and the spanking new http://www.zoom.it it's no longer a problem.
All you have to do is first upload the big original image into a PUBLICALLY ACCESSIBLE location like Flickr or Live Photos, then go to Zoom.It and drop the URL of the picture into it and it'll spit back up a link or script which you can use to show people your extra large image file all nice and viewable in a zooming viewer.
Deep Zoom has a few issues in practical applications, The Semi Pro feels that it encourages WAAAY too much pixel peeping if you apply it onto a normal picture. For example... here's a panoramic shot straight from the NEX-3 in WEB safe resolution.
Generally looks fine, and people won't care too much about the stitching imperfections etc. etc. But... if I allowed the viewers to see the ACTUAL image, what would happen then?
What happens when they can see all the imperfections? Pixel peepers would just use it as an opportunity to find problems in your equipment and editing among other issues.
The other problem... is the FEMALE issue. If you told your model that you're going to allow people to be able to inspect every SINGLE, MINUTE DETAIL of the picture you're taking of her, that any minute flaw that your lense is able to pick up, viewers will be able to see? Most likely they'll tell you to never call them again! This is because all the beauty is gone when you look at them up close! Can you find the mole on her left arm and leg?
This is not the best example... just be thankful there's no one around to take a picture of my face with the 50mm Macro.
Zoom.it also work on webpages as well, so do check it out even if you know that if you used it on pictures of anyone, they'd probably kill you. And to cap it off, here's a self stiched panorama that's 9154x2395 in size. These are things which you really want to use Zoom.It on!
I always criticize that Bing Maps (http://maps.bing.com) is so bloody useless for Malaysian maps because they have ZERO street data on Malaysia. Google Maps (http://maps.google.com) become more useful a few years back when they finally added Malaysian maps data to their DB. So imagine my surprise when I loaded up Bing Maps today and saw....
And that was a BIG surprise for me, their map data looked more like street only data, let's compare it with Google Maps of the same area.
View Larger Map
Google has more of the localized building names, if you go to the full map you'll see that Digital Mall is marked on it already.
Routing is already supported on the maps so they obviously have real road data, though Bing Maps location DB is very very limited, you can search for street names well enough, (My bad, while the street names do show up when you get driving instructions, you can't SEARCH for them yet) but buildings? Not so much, doesn't even know where One Utama is.
But it's a good start, at least it means someone actually cares enough to provide us with map data now. Also, I do like one simple little feature in Bing Maps which I just don't understand why Google Maps can't do properly.
For me to put a pin in a Bing Maps embed, all I had to do was right click in the map window and select "Place Pushpin Here!"
Where as for Google Maps I had to right click and select What's Here BEFORE I even create the embed link, not to mention it brings in some additional search results as well. I understand that Google Maps's embed feature is very powerful, allowing you to include search results and other information on the embedded map, but they should realize that sometimes users just want to be able to tell people "X marks the spot!"
Other than the lack of location information, Bing Maps seems to have multiple map source images. After I discovered that the WEB was working I immediately tried using the Bing Mobile application on my phone, but alas, they were still getting the OLD useless maps like this.
Hopefully they'll synchronize and update the map DB before the launch of Windows Phone 7 here so we can actually have SOME sort of map application!

I have an order for cookies for a wedding this weekend coming. They called last night and asked if I could do the cookie that is shaped like fruit. Ecspecially the peach. What are these cookies called and does anyone have a good recipe for them???
Thanks so much
They have fruit cookie cutters available both online and at most cake stores. I don't know that there is any special name for them though. Any rolled cookie dough will do for this purpose. Hope that helps some!
You could check these out if you don't wish to do "flat" cookies. However, No Fail Sugar cookies here on CC are good to hold their shape if you use the cutter.
Check out this website. I'll bet you could do this? Let us know! These are so cool! If you click on the picture, it will bring up the 2nd pix like the cookies here on CC. The poster also tells how she made them.
Those are really pretty! I remember seeing something like this on Sugar Rush.
GI, those are it! Thanks everyone. Someone told me they made 2 seperate cookies and stuck a cherry in the center and iced them together. I did read the 1 review and at the end she said she would not make these again! lol
I made these many years ago...they were a pain, but I was so glad I made them. I remember sticking two cookies together with a buttercream frosting (flavored peach), and rolling the cookie in peach jello. They were very similar to the ones in the picture. Good luck...start early!
Don't forget to post a pix and let us know if YOU would do them again, lol!!

The Nissan Rogue's gas mileage goes up significantly this year, nudging it from the ranks of the mediocre to the top tier of compact to mid-size crossover SUVs.
Last year, the front-wheel-drive Rogue was rated at 23/28 mpg; with all-wheel drive, its numbers fell to 22/26 mpg. That vehicle's still available as the Rogue Select, FYI, in case you're interested in a very low lease payment above fuel economy and crash-test scores.
This year, an optimized CVT and more efficient tires give the Rogue excellent ratings, on either the city or the highway cycles. The EPA certifies the front-drive Rogue at 26 miles per gallon city, 33 miles per gallon highway, or 28 mpg combined. With all-wheel drive, the combined number stays the same.
There's no plan for diesel power for the Rogue, as far as we know, and Nissan's hybrid four-cylinder in the new Pathfinder doesn't seem likely, given the Rogue's already impressive fuel economy.

True tale of the tumultuous love affair between two French literary icons of the 19th Century, novelist George Sand (Juliette Binoche) and poet Alfred de Musset (Benoit Magimel). But their affair falls apart during an excursion to Venice, Italy where Musset is distracted by drugs and Sand by a handsome doctor.
Renowned for studies of contemporary women, Diane Kurys seems intimidated by both her subject matter and the period trappings of this debut venture into the heritage business. As a result, her handsome biopic starts out stiffly reverential and inexorably descends into an eloquent slanging match.
Little of the agitation of the 1830s is conveyed in this reconstruction of the passion between poet Alfred De Musset (Magimel) and the high-born mother of two (Binoche) who abandoned her husband and adopted the masculine persona of George Sand to both shock and seduce polite society.
Sand seeks solace in a Venetian doctor (Dionisi), while pursuing her own literary ambitions. Yet Kurys never gets inside her head or her heart, thus making all her sacrifices seem capricious rather than romantic.
A disappointing attempt to bring French novelist George Sand's life to the screen is flawed by the director's inability to bring her characters to life in a stilted period piece.

350cc over muscle implants sliding to sides when I lay on my back. Pockets too large 14 months post surgery? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 4
350cc over muscle implants sliding to sides when I lay on my back. Pockets too large 14 months post surgery?
Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated. It does appear that your implants are sliding a bit too much off the side of your chest and correction would require narrowing the implant pocket to keep the implants sitting on your chest. As for correction costs you will need to address this directly with your surgeon as each has different revision policies. Hope this helps.
Learn more: http://www.nelson-center.com/breast-augmentation.html
The implant pocket can be tightened with sutures laterally to avoid lateral displacement of the implant. Your surgeon may be able to waive the surgeon's fee but there may be an OR/Anesthesia fee to this revision. Best wishes, Dr. T.

Breast implant pocket adjustment
Over time your pocket has stretched and enlarged. This is a common problem for breast reconstruction patients but can happen with breast augmentation patients too.
The breast pocket will need a lateral capsuloraphy or tightening the pocket using sutures on the inside of the capsule. Sometimes it is necessary to reduce the size of the implant so that it does not put as much tension and stress on the tissue.

Implants sliding to sides when I lay on my back. Pockets too large 14 months post surgery?
I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. You demonstrate your concerns nicely. Although some "falling to these sides" of breast implants is quite normal when you lie down, if this occurs "excessively", it may be a concern to patients. This phenomenon is called lateral displacement of the breast implant; it may be of concern from the visual and the discomfort standpoints. Surgical correction is an option.
Generally, the lateral breast implant displacement can be corrected using an internal suture technique, decreasing the size of the pockets and moving the implants toward the midline. In my practice, I use a 2 layered suture technique (capsulorraphy) to close off the space laterally (towards the axilla). The use of acellular dermal matrix is an option ( although not usually necessary) especially if significant implant rippling/palpability is present.
I hope this (and the attached link) helps.

The 2015 Nissan 370Z continues to offer excellent sports car value and personality.
The Nissan 370Z is the best Z car to date. A new Z may be in the wings—and it may be radically different—but the current model builds on its heritage with excellent driving dynamics, great ride quality, and modern sports car handling.
For 2015, the high-performance NISMO model comes with sleeker styling and an optional automatic transmission–all in the name of becoming a better-rounded dual-purpose car, too.
The 370Z looks as good in roadster form as it does as a coupe, which hasn't always been the case with past generations. An aggressively styled nose sweeps up and back into a laid-back windshield and short, taut cabin before ending in a bluff, snub rear end. The proportions are half modern wide-track sports coupe and half cabin-rearward classic Z-car. Inside, the 370Z gets a focused and sporty-feeling cabin, with the familiar three-dot Z theme found throughout. The 370Z NISMO enhances the car's styling with wings and flares, though some may find it carries the look to caricature.
Supportive, comfortable adjustable seats provide the foundation for the cabin's sporty experience, with available leather upholstery, power accessories, keyless entry/start, and cruise control. Optional extras for even more convenience include navigation, satellite radio with real-time traffic, HID headlights, and more.
Many new features were recently added to the Z's equipment list, so the lack of updates for 2015 is a minor note. Standard items include Bluetooth connectivity, LED daytime running lights, keyless entry with push-button ignition, AM/FM/CD audio with auxiliary input, and more. Step up to the Touring specification (available on both Coupe and Roadster models) and you'll add leather-appointed heated and cooled power-adjustable seats, Bose audio, and more. A Sport package is available for both base and Touring Coupe models, and Touring-level Roadsters; it adds 19-inch Rays forged aluminum alloy wheels, stickier Bridgestone Potenza high-performance tires, upgraded brakes, and a viscous limited-slip rear differential.
NISMO models get their own unique set of features and all-new styling, including most of the convenience items from the standard 370Z. An upgraded NISMO-tuned suspension, reinforced suspension tower bracing and body dampers, unique aerodynamics, 19-inch Rays wheels, and unique NISMO interior trim and badges.
Front-mid engined, rear-wheel driven, with 332 horsepower on tap from its 3.7-liter V-6, the 370Z moves into the 2015 model year with no changes except for the NISMO variant. Drivers get their choice of a six-speed manual transmission with SynchroRev automatic rev-matching or a seven-speed automatic with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
That NISMO variant, as before, gets an upgraded version of the same 3.7-liter V-6 engine, rated at 350 horsepower. The extra power comes from an exclusive H-pattern exhaust and optimized engine tuning parameters. The 370Z NISMO is now available with either a six-speed manual transmission with rev-matching downshifts, or the seven-speed automatic, which also throttle-blips as you drop the gears.
Even in base form, the 2015 370Z is an impressive performer, particularly when matched with the rev-matching manual transmission. Brisk acceleration, plenty of grip, and a fairly well-balanced chassis yield engaging interaction for the driver on spirited drives. The NISMO's sharpened edge kicks the entire experience up a notch, though it does add some harshness along the way, particularly in ride quality.
The 2015 Nissan 370Z hasn't been crash-tested by either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), but it does come standard with the modern safety basics, including front, side, and (on Coupe and NISMO models) side curtain airbags; stability and traction control; and anti-lock brakes. Visibility in the 2015 370Z is generally good, but thick roof supports can obstruct rearward visibility in Coupe models; the same is true of the Roadster with the top up.
Gas mileage is about par for the mid-sized sports car class, at 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway for 21 mpg combined with the manual transmission in Coupe models; opt for the automatic's extra gear and you'll add 1 mpg city and combined. The NISMO model rates the same as the base 2015 370Z Coupe with manual transmission. Roadster variants lose 1 mpg on every measure, scoring 17/25/20 mpg city/highway/combined with the manual and 18/25/21 mpg city/highway/combined with the automatic.

|Sat, 03 Apr 2004 10:49:55 GMT
Hello, i've got a small howto question. I use PB API of OJB RC6 inside of JBoss 3.2.3 with DB2. There are applications which directly access the same data without usng OJB or ejb. My problem now is that I would like to lock some (not all) objects imediately. Normaly I use read uncommited but at EJB's the data are written at commit of the whole transaction what means other apps can modify the data until the ejb transaction is commited. I would like to lock the objects (again, not all) for other reads like repeatable read. Is it possible to do this only for some objects? Where to set the jdbc transaction isolation in general when usin ojb with ejb's? best regards, Guido --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Not very long ago, Tamil cinema was producing lots of devotional movies. Movies that were powerful enough to make the audience literally pray in front of the big screen. Such were the performances by the actors and their magnitude screen presence as Gods.
Then there was this period where computer graphics took over the natural charm a devotional movie would otherwise have. Sure, graphics is a part of such movies but overdoing it gradually reduced the attractiveness and soon people lost interest in devotional films.
Though these kind of movies are still being made in Kollywood, it is not long before filmmakers might actually stop dishing out such movies considering the fact that the way movie lovers look at a film has changed over the years.
That's why it becomes an important responsibility for us to preserve and cherish those movies and what else could be a better day other than Maha Shivaratri to do exactly that? Having said that it is also equally important to cast one's mind back to the actors and actresses who have portrayed the roles of different Gods and Goddesses with ease and elegance.
On this auspicious day of Maha Shivaratri, we bring to you famous actors and actresses of Tamil cinema who have donned the roles of various Gods and Goddesses.
Check out the slides below to celebrate the festival in a filmy way:
Sivaji Ganesan
The first actor that would strike anyone while recollecting about stars who have portrayed the role of Gods would be the legendary Sivaji Ganesan. His movie Thiruvilaiyadal is watched even today with utmost interest by many movie lovers.
Sivakumar has done many devotional movies, but the first such movie that will fill up anyone's mind while talking about this versatile actor is Kandan Karunai. Starring Sivaji Ganesan, KR Vijaya and Jayalalitha, Sivakumar will be seen as Lord Murugan in this film.
Many actresses too have played Goddesses in the past in Tamil cinema and the most prominent among them is Savitri. Savitri too have done many such roles but the most famous of them all is once again from the film Thiruvilaiyadal which saw her play Goddess Parvati.
Sri Raghavendrar was Superstar Rajinikanth's 100th film and he dedicated this movie to the Almighty close to his heart, Sri Raghavendra Swami, which makes this film even more special. He also played Mahavatar Babaji(not shown in the movie) in Baba.
K. R. Vijaya
KR Vijaya is another actress who has been portrayed as Goddess in many movies. Her ability to pull off such roles is praised even today.
Ramya Krishnan
Ramya Krishnan, not so long ago, ruled Kollywood when it comes to devotional movies. Like KR Vijaya, she has been shown as a Goddess in many movies. Her movie Amman is one of her best work till date.
Prakash Raj
In the film Arai En 305-il Kadavul, Prakash Raj plays God. A particular scene in the film emphasizes that God is and has always been a single entity with various forms. The film has Santhanam and is directed by Chimbu Deven.
Though Meena has embraced the role of a Goddess in a couple of movies, her role in Palayathu Amman gave her many accolades. The movie was a blockbuster hit and reminded filmmakers about devotional movies and their importance.
Roja proved to everyone that even she could pull off such roles and has acted as Goddess in many movies including Tamil and Telugu.

From older men to real couples making amateur XXX films in their homes, you never know what you'll find on Spankwire.com. Latino men are stripping naked in front of their webcams and masturbating alone, waiting for a mature stud to cum inside their mouths and treat them like sex toys.

Maritime Security:
Partnering Could Reduce Federal Costs and Facilitate Implementation of Automatic Vessel Identification System
GAO-04-868: Published: Jul 23, 2004. Publicly Released: Aug 5, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(415) 904-2200
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As part of international efforts to ensure maritime safety and security--and to carry out its mandates under the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002--the U.S. Coast Guard is developing an automatic identification system (AIS) that should enable it to monitor ships traveling to and through U.S. waters. For AIS to operate nationwide, ships need equipment to transmit and receive AIS signals, and the Coast Guard needs shore stations and designated radio frequencies to keep track of the ships' identities and movements. Yet unresolved frequency issues between the Coast Guard and a private company, MariTEL, have come before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). GAO reviewed federal agencies' progress in developing AIS nationwide and identified certain challenges and opportunities in completing the work.
Because the Coast Guard is in the early stages of progress toward nationwide AIS development, the total cost and completion time are uncertain. The Coast Guard has taken advantage of opportunities to bring AIS into service quickly in 10 areas where vessel-monitoring technology already exists, and it is simultaneously defining and planning for full nationwide coverage. The Coast Guard has only preliminary cost estimates for a nationwide system, because geographic and other factors will affect installation at different locations. The Coast Guard estimates that planning and testing will be completed, and a request for proposals from potential contractors issued, between December 2004 and February 2005. The Coast Guard faces both challenges and potential opportunities in its development of a nationwide AIS. Nationwide development depends in part on how FCC resolves a continuing dispute between federal agencies and MariTEL over issues including who should have access to the internationally designated AIS frequencies and for what uses. To help protect its licensed rights to certain frequencies, MariTEL generally seeks either sole control over the international standard AIS frequencies or shared control with ships and the federal government. The federal government seeks a resolution that will reserve the internationally designated frequencies for AIS use by government and nongovernment entities. FCC expects to respond in summer 2004. This response--and whether it leads to any additional actions on the part of the interested parties--could affect the overall cost and pace of nationwide AIS development. Depending on FCC's response, one factor that offers an opportunity to reduce federal costs is that some local port entities are willing to assume the expense and responsibility for AIS construction if they can use AIS data, along with the Coast Guard, for their own purposes.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, the Coast Guard has partnered with organizations willing to develop their own Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver sites. The Cooperative Vessel Traffic Services in Los Angeles/Long Beach, California; and Tampa, Florida; are examples of these partnerships. In these locations, the Coast Guard and the local Marine Exchange or Port Authority jointly operate AIS base stations. In addition, in the Pacific Northwest, the Columbia River Pilots worked with the VOLPE Center to develop their own receiver network and are sharing the AIS information with the Coast Guard in Portland, Oregon. In Corpus Christi, Texas, the Coast Guard has established a relationship with the Port Authority of Corpus Christi and is receiving AIS data from their network. The Coast Guard has also partnered with the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation to receive AIS data from its network along the Saint Lawrence Seaway. In Alaska, the Coast Guard has contracted with Port Graham Development Corporation to operate and maintain eleven receiver sites. The Coast Guard has also contracted with the Marine Exchange of Alaska to receive access to their AIS data. These partnerships and contracts are providing capability in advance of that which will be provided by the Nationwide Automatic Identification System currently being developed by the Coast Guard.
Recommendation: To help reduce federal costs and speed development of AIS nationwide, depending on the outcome of the expected FCC response, the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Commandant of the Coast Guard to seek and take advantage of opportunities to partner with organizations willing to develop AIS systems at their own expense.

Marriage Preparation – Catholic Moments
About Marriage Preparation
Louis Martin (1823 – 1894) grew up a devout Catholic in France. He believed that he had a vocation to be a monk, but was rejected by the local Augustinian Monastery because he did not know Latin. Louis decided to be a watchmaker and jeweler. In 1858, Louis met and fell in love with Marie-Azelie (Zelie) Guerin (1831 – 1877) and they were married after three months. Deeply in love, but also deeply pious, Louis and Zelie had decided to live as brother and sister in perpetual continence. But a wise confessor discouraged them in this. They changed their lifestyle, and eventually had nine children. Of these nine, in the unfortunate but all too common experience for couples at that time, they lost three infants, and a five year old daughter, Helene. All five of their surviving daughters became nuns. Read more.
