As food safety industry leaders, you can count on the reliability of Comark kitchen thermometers. Food safety is a big topic for restaurants right now, and ensuring your product stays out of the danger zone is crucial to keeping customers safe. Rely on the accuracy of a Comark digital thermometer when it comes to your foodservice operation. At Tundra Restaurant Supply, we feature a variety of Comark thermometers, from refrigeration and oven thermometers to data loggers and thermocouples.
Thermometers are used for everything from cooking, to data logging and even inventory control. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of any product you sign for it—always confirm that your product traveled safely during transport and didn't spoil along the way! Chefs also regularly keep thermometers in their pocket to check temperatures of proteins during cooking to ensure consistency from plate to plate. When it comes to temperature logging, you also need consistent numbers that you can rely on. Incorrect temperature reports could result in serving product held in the danger zone, which will hurt you at your next inspection, but it could make your customers ill.
The danger zone is a hot topic when it comes to food safety. The "danger zone" references the temperature range of 40° F and 140° F; this is the range of temperature where you neither want hot nor cold foods to be kept in. In order to prevent the growth of bacteria and to keep customers safe, cold food should be kept colder than 40° and hot food should be held at a temperature above 140°; bacteria is most susceptible to rapidly growing on foods within this temperature zone (20 seconds!).
When thawing food, be aware of the temperature in your room. Food should not be left out for more than 1 hour in a room that is 90° F or higher. Conversely, if the temperature of the room is below 90° F then food should not be left out for more than 2 hours to thaw. Most food is susceptible to falling within the danger zone during cooling. For cooling soups and broths, utilize cold paddles to rapidly decrease the temperature prior to storing; putting hot soup in your walk in not only decreases the temperature of your stock quickly enough, but it can increase the temperature of your walk in and put the rest of your product at risk.
The best way to combat any food safety issues in your restaurant is to stock up on good food service thermometers. These commercial thermometers from Comark will help you achieve your food safety goals!

NOTE: This isn't a true genealogy article. However, many genealogists also collect old and new family photographs and those photos often need "improvements" performed by photo editing software. If you have an interest in photo restoration, I suggest you read on.
For many years, the most famous photo editing software has been Photoshop, produced by Adobe. In fact, it is a very powerful product, available for both Macintosh and Windows, and is used by professional photographers everywhere. There is one huge drawback to Photoshop, however: it is very expensive. The later versions of Photoshop are available only as monthly subscriptions. For a single user, the price is $20.99 US per month. That's $251.88 US per year, and most subscribers will want to use it for several years. In short, you can expect to pay $1,000 US or more over the next few years for the use of Photoshop.
One popular substitute has been Photoshop Elements, a lower priced product with fewer capabilities. But even Photoshop Elements is too expensive for many people at $99.99. Luckily, Photoshop Elements isn't subscription based and won't require payment year after year.
However, there are several FREE competitors that perform most of the same functions as Photoshop. For years, GIMP (an abbreviation for the "GNU Image Manipulation Program") has been available as a very powerful image editor FREE of charge. The biggest drawback of GIMP is its unusual user interface. Learning to use all the power in GIMP takes many hours of study.
If you don't like GIMP and you don't want to pay an exorbitant price for Photoshop, you might want to look at Photopea.
First of all, Photopea is available FREE of charge. Next, the user interface is so close to that of Photoshop that the user might think he or she is using the high-cost product. Even the menus and keyboard shortcuts are almost identical.
Finally, Photopea is web-based software, so there is no software installation required. All you need to do is open a web browser and go to the Photopea web site to use it. It works with most web browsers. The program works well on Macintosh, Windows, Linux, and even Chromebook computers. It will even work on Android devices, iPads, and iPhones although you might find the small screen sizes of those devices to be awkward to use for photo editing.
Photopea runs completely in your device, just like Sketch or Photoshop do. It does not upload any of your files to the Internet. You can load Photopea.com, disconnect from the internet and keep using it completely offline. None of your files ever leave your computer unless you specifically upload them manually yourself or you store the photos in a folder on your computer that automatically copies the files to a cloud-based file storage service (Dropbox, Google Drive, or any of the dozen or more similar services).
Photopea is an advanced image editor. Unlike most free or low-cost editors, it can work with both raster and vector graphics. You can use it for simple tasks, such as resizing images, as well as complex tasks, such as designing webpages, creating illustrations, processing photographs and more. The Photopea website will even teach you how to use the program with step-by-step tutorials.
Photopea was created by programmer Ivan Kutskir from the Czech Republic. He says that it was merely a hobby project during college and he still works on it by himself. It took 7,000 hours of work (around 5 hours a day during 3.5 years) for Ivan to start making some money out of Photopea. Still, the software doesn't generate income from subscriptions, but from advertisements.
Like many free programs, Photopea will occasionally display advertisements. However, you can optionally purchase a license that grants you an ad-free experience for $20 for 90 days or $9 for 30 days. Once the license expires, advertisements will once again appear. Of course, you can always choose to renew the license.
Photopea internally uses the PSD file format as the main format for storing image files with additional information. Again, that is exactly how Photoshop works as well. All files that you open in Photopea (such as JPG, PNG, JPG, Sketch) are converted to PSD (when they are not PSDs already). When you finish editing, the result can be saved in PSD format or copied to other formats.
You can also change the resolution of the output image. One of the many options is to resize images (File – Open, File – Export – Format, enter the new size …).
Photopea also has all of the following capabilities:
- Layers – to split images into several parts
- Layer masks – just generally useful
- Blend modes – specifying, how layers "combine" with each other
- Brush
- Selections – choosing, which pixels of layer you want to edit
- Procedural adjustments – changing brightness, hue, saturation, convolutions (blur, sharpening …) etc.
Question: Is Photopea Fully Equal to Photoshop?
The quick answer is: "No." Photopea performs MOST of the operations as Photoshop, but there are always a few advanced features missing. I would say it is closer to Photoshop Elements but adds a few features not even found in Elements. However, when I compare the prices, I think I can live without the few missing features.
What's not to love? Photopea is free, powerful, user-friendly, works on almost all computer operating systems that have web browsers, and requires no installation.
I suggest you try Photopea for yourself and see what you think. If you decide you don't wish to keep using the program, you can always stop. Since there was no software ever installed in your computer, there is nothing left behind to uninstall.
You can find Photopea at https://www.photopea.com.
Once you connect, you will see a web page that contains choices for File, Edit, Image, Select, Filter, View, and other selections. In short, it looks almost the same as any other photo editing software's main page.
There is also a choice for Account, but you only need to create an account if you wish to purchase a license for ad-free operation. I will suggest you skip that option the first few times you use Photopea. Don't sign up for an account immediately, but just use the program for a bit to become familiar with it. You can always purchase a license for ad-free operation at a later date, should you wish to do so. The ads don't bother me, so I probably will never purchase a license.
You also might want to look at the user's manual and the step-by-step tutorials by beginning at https://blog.photopea.com/introduction.html.

The monthly "living allowance" of about SGD$1600 is not bad. You can probably find a decent 2-room or 3-room flat for that rate -- but it's at the lowest end. Most flats in modern buildings are much higher. However, you can also probably rent just a room in a flat. Be sure that you are close to an MRT train station for commuting. Singapore is an expensive city, but you shouldn't have a problem even if your monthly salary is near the lower end of that range -- provided that you have the SGD$1600 guaranteed for housing.

Even at the very bottom of the payscale, you'd be making close to $$6000 Singapore a month, and that does not factor the travel, insurance and moving allowances, let alone end-of-contract gratuity. Sure, there is some BS you have to withstand here, but less BS than I had to put up with in a dozen other countries. Hong Kong is a pretty OK place to live, and you don;t get treated like a alien. Back to top Kylehawkins2000Joined: 10 Mar 2003Posts: 7Location: Ottawa Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:50 am Post subject: Singapore You can find a quite nice 2 bedroom condo for 1600 if you take your time to look around. My place is on the east coast and it's in that price range. It includes a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by lush gardens, a tennis court, 2 squash courts, and saunas. If you're willing to live somewhere without these 'extras' then it would be quite easy to find something cheaper. A friend of mine has a very large 3 bedroom place and pays 1300 but there is no security personal, no gardens, swimming pools, etc. It's just the apartment. It is in an Excellent location though and there is a gym and swimming pool right across the street where they get a very good discount with the apartment anyway. If you don't have debts to pay at home and your just paying for your day to day living expenses, $3000 Singapore is very doable. I'd give $200-300 per month in bills, take a taxi to work each day would be about $400-$500 a month (assuming you live within a few KM). Your food costs will vary widely but it is possible to eat very well, very cheaply. There are these 'hawker centers' all over the place where $3 will give you a very tasty and filling meal. If you do breakfast at home, hawker meals for lunch and dinner, and eat at a mid-priced restaurant 2-3 times per week you can get by on $300 or less per month for food. So, that is all of your basic expenses covered for less than $1200 per month without living particularly frugally. The other $1800 will cover you for clothing, entertainment, travel, etc. If you enjoy the nighlife you'll find a considerable amount of money spent on nights out. A pint of beer generally costs from $10 - 16 and cover charge at a club could be as high as $30. To spend $200 on a night out is very easily done. On the other hand, you can have a night out without spending too much money if you limit the number of drinks you have at bars/ clubs. Teachers at International Schools generally get a starting pay of $6000-7000 plus a housing allowance similar to what you are being offered. The lower end schools offer a smaller housing allowance and $4000-5000 in salary. These are the less reputable schools where turnover is higher and less emphasis is placed on teacher retainment. If your position is in ESL and your salary package is $3000 + $1600 housing, I think you're doing quite well. Getting a package in the upper range of the salary you mentioned would make life much easier and would allow for a short weekend trip to nearby countries each month.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization
Aria Health Center for Gynecology & Women's Health
|Special note on UFE, fibroids, and fertility
Fibroids themselves can cause fertility problems, but even among women with uterine fibroid symptoms, this is more often the exception than the case. Thus, the overwhelming majority of women who have these benign growths will be able to conceive and carry a normal, healthy pregnancy to term.
For a smaller percentage of women, successfully treating uterine fibroids can be a necessary step to improving fertility. However, fibroid treatment alters the uterine muscle wall in ways that may affect ability to conceive and carry through a healthy pregnancy and birth.
For women who need invasive treatment for fibroids but want to keep their ability to become pregnant, UFE offers an important new option, by providing an alternative that does not require resecting all or part of uterus. Doctors are not certain of the full effects of UFE on a woman's ability to have children. But many women who have had a UFE have subsequently become pregnant and had children without problems. There is some evidence that women who have undergone a UFE are also more likely to have complications during pregnancy or birth. Whether UFE is a contributing factor in these complications is still under study.
Thus, the nature and extent of a UFE procedure's effects on fertility are still under evaluation. UFE may not always be the procedure of choice for patients who are otherwise appropriate candidates for the procedure but who are interested in future pregnancy. Aria's specialists will discuss these questions with you, if you are under evaluation for uterine fibroids and interested in future childbearing.
Aria is one of only a handful for centers in the Delaware Valley offering the most
up-to-date procedure for correcting uterine fibroids. Awareness of uterine fibroids - of how common they are and what symptoms they can cause - has expanded among women,as this condition has received more attention in recent years, and as diagnosis and treatments for it have significantly improved. Fibroid growths in the uterus are very common, especially among women in their 30s, 40s, or older. In fact, uterine fibroids are the most common "tumors" in the female reproductive tract, and most women have them. But these masses are not cancerous, and only a fraction of women have symptoms from them. The Center for Gynecology & Women's Health at Aria Health can offer patients thorough, experienced evaluation for uterine fibroids.
The objective of care for this uncomfortable and difficult condition is symptom relief, which includes control of excessive menstrual bleeding (a symptom of fibroids that, in rare cases, can even be dangerous), cramping, and pelvic pain. Drug therapy, including hormonal medications, for fibroids is not uniformly effective. In addition, it may require a lifelong regimen of potent and expensive medications that may have side effects. Thus, treatment often focuses on directly removing or reducing the fibroids themselves, if possible.
Interventional radiologists have developed the latest approach to this goal. Called uterine fibroid embolization (UFE, or also UAE, for uterine artery embolization) this capability represents the most advanced option currently available for addressing uterine fibroid symptoms. UFE minimizes the invasiveness of directly treating fibroids. Our interventional radiologists offer this procedure and are ready to meet with you, to determine if you are a candidate for UFE.
What Are the Advantages of UFE?
Interventional radiologists perform UFE by introducing catheters through arteries in the legs and advancing them to the arteries that supply blood to the uterus. The interventionalist then injects a substance (usually tiny particles of plastic or gelatin sponge-like material) that safely forms a clot (embolizes) at these locations, thereby cutting off circulation to the uterine tissue in which the fibroid is located. After this procedure, fibroids partly or completely shrink or die off, which typically alleviates or significantly decreases symptoms.
The procedure usually requires local anesthesia and sedation only. Before and after embolizing specific uterine-artery locations, the specialists inject a contrast agent into the patient's arteries that permits them to see an exact layout of the arteries (angiography) and to maneuver the catheters into the correct position. Patients usually return home the same day or next day. They need to rest from physical or other stressful activities or exertions for a week or two after undergoing UFE. After that, they should be able to return to regular activities. Recovery from conventional surgery normally takes several times longer.
Patients have found UFE to be a desirable alternative, as the other standard option for fibroid removal is surgery to perform a myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids) or hysterectomy. While a myomectomy keeps the uterus intact, it can be technically challenging and is not performed by all gynecologic surgical specialists. Either of these operations has much more postoperative pain, longer recover time, greater side effects, and higher risk of complications than the minimally invasive UFE intervention. And, even when performed laparoscopically (through smaller incisions, using scoping instruments), these two types of surgery require longer healing time than UFE, which is performed through a small incision at the inside of the thigh near the groin. Patients typically return to work and normal activities within
a few days of the UFE procedure.
Being able to relieve the bleeding, pain, pressure, and urinary symptoms of uterine masses, without having to use surgery and without the extended recovery required after an open or even laparoscopic operation has been a boon for women suffering from fibroids. UFE is a first-line choice for women with significant symptoms from fibrous growths in the uterus. It provides an option for millions of women who would otherwise have to live with the symptoms of uterine fibroids or consider surgery. (The likelihood of fibroids growing back after UFE appears to be modest or low, but remains under study.)
UFE at Aria
Our staff works hard to make the patient experience with uterine fibroid embolization as smooth and comprehensive as possible. Our office will establish a convenient set of dates for appointments and for the procedure, will take care of precertification for UFE with your insurer, and will coordinate your follow-up care. Our department, of course, can offer any additional imaging tests, such as various types of ultrasound studies or MR imaging, which may be needed to confirm the diagnosis, guide the procedure, and assess its results. And, we work closely, as needed, with Aria's Center for Gynecology & Women's Health to manage patients - and with fertility specialists on a consulting basis.
Most patients return home the same day of the UFE procedure or after one overnight in the hospital. Our dedicated nurse coordinator will work with you throughout the course of your care, so that you have a cohesive, personalized experience.
Patients may experience some cramping, nausea, or other discomfort after the procedure. Our staff is experienced in offering you the optimal post-procedure pain control and other relief for these side effects.
Patients generally return for a post-procedure follow up and check-ups, at one week and one month. They also return at six months and one year after the procedure for visits that include an MR imaging study.
UFE is highly successful at stopping or reducing excessive menstrual bleeding from uterine fibroids. It also decreases pain symptoms in most patients. Patient satisfaction with the UFE procedure in general, and in our UFE services at Aria in particular, is high. Patients appreciate a marked improvement in quality of life as a result of this treatment. Because awareness of UFE is still expanding among patients and health professionals, any more women could probably be benefiting from this procedure and avoiding surgery for fibroids than currently are.

The medical office building at our facility is located right next to
the ER. The entrance to their clinic is maybe thirty yards from the
ER's main entrance. A lot of the docs use the ER waiting room as the
route into the hospital proper; it's shorter and drier and the state of
the waiting room gives them a sense of how many calls they are likely
to get on any given day. So it was with no surprise that I saw one of
our general surgeons standing in the waiting room as I slipped out to
run to the cafeteria for lunch.
She quickly buttonholed me, "Shadow, I need your help with something."
This surgeon is one of our best -- smart, witty, always willing to come in and do the right thing. But she takes no BS either. We have a very good relationship, and so I stopped to see what it was she needed.
"I was in clinic this afternoon," she explained, "and I started feeling a little off. Sweaty and tired. I mostly ignored it, because I've got some cases this afternoon and I wanted to get through clinic on time, but then I started to feel worse. I threw up once, and was feeling a lot of indigestion. So I went into the back room and did this ECG on myself."
She handed me a piece of paper, and I glanced at it.
"What do you think? Is this real?"
"Yeah," I said, scanning the cardiogram. "This is real. Are you still having pain?"
"Well, I don't feel good, but I don't have any pain. I took an aspirin and found some nitro, which really helped with the indigestion. But now that you mention it, I'm feeling a little lightheaded."
"That's probably the nitro talking," I said, taking in her rather pale complexion. "Let's get you in back."
"But my cases..." she trailed off.
"Will have to be canceled." I said firmly, as I grabbed a wheelchair and flagged down the triage nurse.
"Whatever you say. I'm out of my depth here. You know, this really isn't my specialty." And with that resigned grumble, she slumped down in the wheelchair and gave herself over to our tender mercies.
She was actually profoundly hypotensive (nitro and inferior MI's are often an unhappy combination). But that perked up with a bit of fluids. Although she was young, early fifties, she had some bad genetics working against her, with a strong family history and wicked high triglycerides. She didn't like the cardiologist on call (with reason, I must admit) and so we called one of her partners in her multispecialty group who came right down. She was whisked off to the cath lab where her RCA was stented (door to balloon 45 minutes, thankyouverymuch) and as far as I know has made an uneventful recovery.
No great teaching point here, other than perhaps that women have different symptoms of heart disease than the classic ones. I just thought it was striking that this was the first and probably only time in my career I have seen someone self-diagnose their MI with an ECG prior to coming in!

The latest S&P / Case-Shiller numbers, reported last week, show that prices in 20 major markets declined 3.5% over the year through February. They're now back to 2002 levels. If we subtract for inflation, they're back to 1998 levels.
But consider: After subtracting for inflation, prices are also back to 1986 levels. And 1955 levels. And 1895 levels (see chart).
That's because the natural rate of price appreciation for houses is zero after inflation. Prices will eventually stop falling. They'll resume rising. But over the long term, they're unlikely to resume rising faster than inflation.
That's why prospective buyers should stop focusing on the vague hope that house prices will jump from here and focus instead on the functional value houses provide for the money. In most markets, they provide enough of that to make buying a good deal.
To see why house prices and inflation are linked, consider that inflation is a general rise in the price of consumable goods and services. We measure it as a nation just as you might think: pollsters collect prices on thousands of items and statisticians turn those prices into an index, called the Consumer Price Index.
The inflation rate over the year through March was 2.6%. Behind that number is a lot of variation; dairy products got 6.3% more expensive, while utility gas service got 9.1% cheaper.
That's because inflation isn't the only thing that drives individual prices. Short-term supply and demand factors drive them, too. For example, the U.S. has a severe glut of natural gas at the moment. But prices have a way of self-correcting over time. Power companies have already sharply increased their electricity production from natural gas while pulling back on coal.
Few things escape the gravitational pull of the inflation rate forever. Even healthcare and college tuition are showing signs of slowing price growth. U.S. housing had spectacular booms and busts in the 1920s and mid-2000s, but smoothing out the swings and adjusting for inflation, prices have gone nowhere for more than a century.
Houses are ordinary consumable goods: wood, stone and metal bound together through labor. There's no reason to believe they should enjoy a special rate of return distinct from those for, say, apples and shoes. My best guess for the rate of price increase of all three is 2.2% a year over the next 10 years--equal to the rate of inflation.
To get that number, I looked at yields on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. Those are a special kind of bond that adjusts in value each year for the rate of inflation. The difference between the yields on 10-year TIPS and those on regular 10-year Treasurys shows what investors expect inflation to look like over the next decade.
Of course, house buyers can also base projections on factors like house inventories, shadow inventories, the foreclosure rate, the construction rate and so on. But market prices already adjust for factors the public knows about, so buyers who try to form special predictions on prices had better have special knowledge the public isn't privy to.
The good news is that houses--like apples and shoes--have functional value, and right now buyers are getting plenty of it for what they spend. The easiest way to see this is by dividing yearly rents by purchase prices for similar properties, to come up with a "rent yield". Landlords literally collect rent yields; owner-occupants collect implied ones because they don't have to pay rent.
In more than half of U.S. housing markets, the rent yield is over 10%. That's a gross yield; buyers should subtract for things like taxes and maintenance. But even so, buyers in most markets will end up with yields of over 5%. That's a pretty good deal at a time when 10-year corporate bonds of decent credit quality pay only 3%. And with the average 30-year mortgage rate sitting below 4%, financing terms are attractive relative to rent yields (for buyers who can get loans).
Similar math led me to believe five years ago that buying a house had become a bad deal in most of the country (see "Renting Makes More Financial Sense Than Homeownership") and to decide last year that it had once again become a good deal in many markets (see "Time to Buy That House"). Prices declined 33% nationwide between those two columns, or by more than $80,000 for a typical house. I didn't time the top or the bottom of the market to the month, of course, but buyers who base their math on the functional value of houses don't have to worry about next month's price change. They just have to pay a price that allows them to extract good value from their house.
To see whether houses are a good deal in your market, start by checking a list of price-to-rent ratios like the latest one published by Trulia.com. To turn a price-to-rent ratio into a rent yield, simply divide "1" by the ratio. So the New York City area's price-to-rent ratio of 14.5 is equal to a rent yield of 6.9%. (That's not such a high number, especially after subtracting for taxes and maintenance costs, making New York one of a handful of markets where renters shouldn't be in any hurry to buy.)
Four last points to keep in mind: First, those price-to-rent ratios are based on average price data. Individual buyers can do better or worse than the averages, depending on how carefully they shop.
Second, your market is probably not special. It can be tempting to think that, because prices in your area have risen faster than the national average over the past five years, they will continue to do so. That temptation is called recency bias--the belief that things will always be the way they've been lately. They probably won't.
Third, renters who base their house buying decision on rent yields will come to a radically different conclusion than those who buy because they're optimistic about future price growth. For single-family houses, the way to maximize value is to buy only as much house as you need, rather than locking in as much house as you can afford.
Fourth, there are some useful buying-versus-renting calculators on the web. Some show buyers exactly how many years it will take for them to be better off owning versus renting. But most allow users to put in independent values for the inflation rate and the rate at which house prices increase. If you set inflation to 2% and house price growth to 6%, just about anything looks like a good deal. The prudent thing is to use the same rate for both. Again, use the difference between the 10-year TIPS yield and the 10-year regular Treasury yield, which works out to 2.2% at the moment.

| 11.9°C Belfast
Irish President Michael D Higgins inspected the tribute to brave Irish soldiers which has been given pride of place in Windsor Castle.
On the second day of his historic state visit, he and his wife Sabina viewed the colours of the regiments of the British army that were disbanded when Ireland gained independence.
They were given pride of place in a stairway entrance to Windsor Palace, so that everyone could see them, on the insistence of King George V in 1922.
The colours, which honour the service of Irish soldiers in the First World War and other times of battle, have never been moved from their permanent setting - except when the 1992 Windsor fire threatened to destroy them.
"Needs must, we took them out," the Duke of York, who is the colonel-in-chief, the Royal Irish Regiment, told the couple .
They have been held at Windsor since the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, when the six regiments of the British army from that part of Ireland which had become the Free State were disbanded.
In a message to all six regiments at the time, King George V said: "The Colours are to be preserved and held in reverence at Windsor Castle as a perpetual record of your noble exploits in the field."
The presidential couple looked over the colours of the Royal Irish Regiment, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, the Connaught Rangers, the Prince of Wales' Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians), and the Royal Munster Fusiliers. The South Irish Horse did not have a colour.
There were 58,000 Irish soldiers in the British army at the start of the First World War, 140,000 volunteered for units that were stationed in Ireland during the war and tens of thousands of Irish people died during that conflict .
This is the first state visit to the United Kingdom by an Irish president and its significance has been her deepened by the invitation for the first couple to stay at the Queen's home, Windsor Castle.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh paid a state visit to Ireland in May 2011.

I don't see the point of making island and Animated3D.. anyway
Most of my objects are Animated3D . So, they use double memory. Could this be possible: use the Animated3D, but consume almost the same memory of Object3D.And why there is a copy? Could you implement Animated3D without such a copy(in order to save memory) and without any loss of features、performances and so on.

Handout / Reuters
A frame grab from KNBC4 TV aerial footage shows smoke and fire from a cabin where fugitive former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner is believed to be barricaded in Big Bear, California February 12, 2013. Dorner exchanged gunfire on Tuesday with San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies in the mountains northeast of Los Angeles after he broke into a home, tied up a couple and stole their pickup truck, authorities said.
Investigators discovered charred human remains late Tuesday within a torched California mountain cabin where police sources say ex-cop Christopher Dorner barricaded himself after a deadly shootout with sheriff's deputies.
In a statement, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said that identification would be attempted "through forensic means."
Earlier, San Bernardino Sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said authorities believed the suspect was still inside the cabin when the inferno began.
Gunfire erupted during the hunt for former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner, who was charged with murder on Monday. The unfolding drama brought officers to a cabin in the mountains where the suspect was barricaded inside. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
The hulking former lawman declared war on the LAPD in an online manifesto because he was fired four years ago. Accused of killing three people between Feb. 3 and Feb. 7, he was the target of the biggest manhunt in Los Angeles history.
A day of dramatic and tragic developments began after police received a report around 12:22 p.m. Tuesday that someone fitting Dorner's description had stolen a car from a home near the ski resort area of Big Bear, police said.
The car owner told NBCLosAngeles.com that a man who looked like Dorner came up to him with a rifle and demanded his pickup, and let him take his dogs out of the back before he fled.
A ground and air search ensued, and authorities located the pickup on Highway 38.
A spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Game said one of its wardens was the "very first person to spot Mr. Dorner … They both got out of the vehicles and exchanged gunfire."
Check out more coverage on NBCLosAngeles.com
The warden's truck was riddled with bullets but he was not hurt, agency spokesman Andrew Hughan told NBCLosAngeles.com.
Dorner, who was already wanted for three slayings linked to a revenge-fueled rampage, "fled into the forest and barricaded himself inside a cabin," the San Bernardino Sheriff's office said in a statement. "A short time later there was an exchange of gunfire between law enforcement and the suspect."
Two deputies were shot and taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where Sheriff John McMahon later confirmed one had died and one was in surgery. Their names were not released.
No more shots were fired from inside the cabin in Angelus Oaks before police demanded Dorner surrender and began preparing to storm the structure, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.
A source close to the probe told NBCLosAngeles.com that deputies broke the cabin windows, fired tear gas inside and began breaking down walls with an armored personnel carrier.
The deputies then heard a single gunshot, and soon after flames and smoke could be seen, the source said.
Shortly before 7 p.m. local time, Villaraigosa told Telemundo "it's over," but declined to elaborate.
Hundreds of investigators had spent a week searching for Dorner, who is accused of killing a retired captain's daughter and her fiancé on Feb. 3 and a police officer on Feb. 7.
His burned-out truck, a Nissan Titan, was found in Big Bear last week and scores of officers have been combing the mountain, going door-to-door to see if they could find signs of forced entry.
At an afternoon press conference, LAPD commander Smith had a message for Dorner: "Enough is enough. It's time to turn yourself in."
"Everyone is very hopeful that this thing ends without any further bloodshed," Smith said. "The best thing for him now would be to surrender … and he can face the criminal justice system."
Dorner, an ex-cop and Navy reservist detailed his plans and hit list in an online manifesto — a 11,000-word declaration of war against the LAPD in which he makes it clear he would not be taken alive.
"Self Preservation is no longer important to me," he wrote. "I do not fear death as I died long ago on 1/2/09."
That's the date that Dorner got his walking papers from the LAPD after being fired for making a false statement about an officer he accused of brutalizing a suspect.
Police say Dorner exacted revenge on the lawyer who represented him at the internal review, retired captain Randy Quan, by gunning down his daughter, Monica Quan, 28, and her boyfriend, Keith Lawrence, 27, in their car as they returned home to Irvine, Calif., after the Super Bowl.
Four days later, authorities said, Dorner ambushed police officers who were guarding other potential targets in Riverside and Corona, Calif., killing one of them.
LAPD officials said earlier Tuesday they were sifting through 1,000 clues and, including a video that may show the suspect stocking up on scuba gear before the killing spree.
Police confirmed they were even looking into the possibility Dorner had fled to Mexico — the destination he mentioned when he tried to steal a boat in San Diego last Wednesday.
Among the newest leads, a video that was posted on TMZ that appears to show Dorner purchasing scuba equipment at Sport Chalet in Torrance, Calif., on Feb. 1. Neiman said police had not nailed down if it was Dorner and could not say why he would be buying underwater gear.
A criminal complaint filed in federal court last week also revealed that investigators have been tracking an associate of Dorner — someone with the initials J.Y. — whose family has property not far from where Dorner's vehicle was abandoned and torched.
"We will leave no stone unturned to find out if someone was assisting this man in his terrible crimes and eluding capture," Smith said.

Link #2 you provided also https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topi...

That should have been taken out after you listed it. I'm sure that was an oversight as that portion was not readily seen.
Now we will wait for IMDb to respond.
I am curious too.

Ask for the removal of the data regarding the e-mail screenshot and I'm pretty certain they will remove it.
Candid question: what is the ICO?
If so, while you are still a EU citizen (!), why don't you invoke the GDPR?
Not sure whether the ICO will have right on a Washington state based company (even though it's founder lives apparently in Britain), but IMDb must comply with the GDPR...

I want to import data from one database to another. On the destination database, I don't have permission to restore a backup file to it, so I have only one option which is to import data.
I used the wizard and I set the option of allow identity insert, but after it ran I faced a problem with foreign keys insertion. Is there anything I missed or shall I drop the foreign keys and recreate it after import?
I really wonder why Microsoft made it complicated.

Product Page: Diskology Disk Jockey
If you have ever worked in the IT department of a corporation or university, you have undoubtedly run into situations where you need to manipulate the hard drives of your employees' machines. Common scenarios might be diagnosing a failing drive, needing to re-image a machine, grabbing some data off the hard drive of a failed machine, or perhaps just wiping some old hard drives before tossing them in the dumpster. Unfortunately, all of these tasks can be rather time consuming and require the use of a spare computer that is not in use. This is where Diskology's Disk Jockey comes in...

Guest poem submitted by Vikram Doctor:
(Poem #528) A Renewal
Having used every subterfuge To shake you, lies, fatigue, or even that of passion, Now I see no way but a clean break. I add that I am willing to bear the guilt. You nod assent. Autumn turns windy, huge, A clear vase of dry leaves vibrating on and on. We sit, watching. When I next speak Love buries itself in me, up to the hilt.
A short, sad and lovely poem that perfectly illustrates the inexplicable complications of emotional bonds. Anyone who has ever been in a relationship must have felt like this at sometime. And 'up to the hilt' perfectly captures both the depths and the pain. Merrill is best known for his longer poems, particularly the sequence collectively known as 'The Changing Light At Sandover', but he could also produce small gems like these. Vikram.

MADISON, Wis., May 15 (UPI) -- A giant experiment buried beneath the South Pole's ice has recorded the first neutrinos ever detected originating outside our solar system, researchers say.
Neutrinos are produced in our atmosphere but the IceCube experiment -- a cubic kilometer of sensitive detectors sunk into the Antarctic ice -- has seen the first "cosmic neutrinos," they said.
IceCube consists of 86 strings, each with 60 sensitive light detectors strung along it like "fairy lights," sunk deep into the ice.
Rare collisions of neutrinos with the nuclei of atoms in the ice produce a brief flash that the detectors can catch.
With more than 5,000 detectors catching the flashes the direction of the neutrinos' arrival on Earth can be determined, the researchers said.
Neutrinos can be produced in the Earth's atmosphere -- IceCube picks up about 100,000 of that variety a year -- but previous attempts to isolate neutrinos created in far-flung cosmic processes had all failed.
However, in April the IceCube research team reported detecting two neutrinos -- nicknamed Bert and Ernie -- with energy levels high enough to suggest a cosmic rather than atmospheric origin.
The team has now reported 26 more events of similar energy that they expect will also be confirmed as cosmic in origin.
Detection is just a first step and "of course, there's much more to do," IceCube principle investigator Francis Halzen told BBC News.
"It's after you find them that the work starts; these events are very difficult to analyze."
The study results were presented Wednesday at the IceCube Particle Astrophysics Symposium in Madison, Wis.

Android market share numbers for the end of December have just gone up on the Android Developers site, and the story is much the same as it was last month: Android 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 continue to gain ground over older versions of the software. Version 2.3, codenamed Gingerbread, still powers more of the Android devices that accessed Google Play in the last two weeks of December than any other version, but its share has finally fallen below 50 percent (it now sits at 47.4 percent, down from 50.7 percent last month).
Now, 39.3 percent of all Android users are running Ice Cream Sandwich or newer, with 10.2 percent of those users running one of the two Jelly Bean versions. Some of this sizable uptick—up from 34.2 percent just last month—doubtlessly reflects the number of Android phones and tablets given as gifts over the holidays. Though Android 4.2 is still confined largely to Google's Nexus devices, it's rare to find a new device that isn't at least running Ice Cream Sandwich.
Some of the increase, especially Android 4.1's 3.1 percent jump, can also be attributed to Samsung's Galaxy S III, which began receiving its Android 4.1 updates in earnest in the middle of December. Samsung's flagship is one of the most popular Android handsets with consumers. The Verizon version of the handset likely accounts for a good deal of the upgraded phones given Verizon's status as the United States' largest wireless carrier.
It's still disappointing a mere 1.2 percent of all Android devices accessing Google Play are running the most recent version of Android, but at least the ecosystem is continuing its move to more current versions at a steady clip. The faster this balance shifts, the sooner users (and developers) can benefit from all of the work Google and others have done on Android in the last year or so.

My laptop's hero ^^
I called my hubby right after that. But he told me he was just meeting his friend for eating. He just reached the place and ordered his food and didn't think that he can make it unless if it's a bit late at night. Since he said that, I told him not to bother and continued what he was doing, disappointedly. He called me few times assuring me that he would meet David. At first, I asked him not to bother, but since he insisted, then I gave him David's hp no and asked him to contact him directly. So my hubby rushingly went back home to take my laptop and went to meet David at his hotel.
I had farewell dinner that night, that's why I couldn't rushing home myself to bring my laptop to him. I thought it would be pretty late if I'd done so. Anyway, once I finished the dinner, I rushingly went to David's hotel too and met them there. When I reached there, they said they have re-installed my computer and put back my back up file. Everything was fine. The internet can be connected. But after restart the computer twice, the problem came again. It couldn't connect through the internet. They tried and tried.. still couldn't connect until the time shows 11 plus. So David told us to leave our laptop there while he tried to reinstall the laptop again and found where the problem is and asking us to come back there the next morning.
Well.. no choice.. so I left my laptop there. And told them I'd be there the next morning at 11am, and would bring breakfast for both of them. Agreed!!! Then Raymond and I went back home.
We woke up at 9 plus on Saturday and had ourselves prepared. I bought chasao rice w/ shao rou for David while I bought 1 egg prata and 2 kosong for Tedjo. 2R and I went to their hotel. Raymond met them first, while Reever and I went to buy Old chang kee to both of them - for them to eat at the airport. Once done, we went up to their room.
Wah, they really enjoyed the breakfast that I brought hahahaa..... and David told me that he has managed to repair my laptop and the problem lies w/ the antivirus software. Luckily he was around!!! And became my laptop's hero! =) Otherwise, if I have to bring it down to HP centre, probably I had to pay them quite sum of money to repair - while I don't have guarantee in Singapore *it was bought in US last year. Anyway.. my datas were all there too.. thanks to him to back up everything and put my other softwares back into my laptop. He even installed me MOS Office 2007, which I don't know how to use it. Hahahaha...
After finishing their food, they prepared to check out. And before left their room, I managed to take their picture using my handphone *see pic - David & Tedjo.
Thanks for both of you. You have spent ur last night repairing my laptop instead of enjoying ur time somewhere else. Hope to see you again soon!!! Take care!!
Farewell Dinner @EMC
So, it left w/ 7 of us. My boss, AFC, and 4 other colleagues. Actually the most avoided place for farewell for me at first was this place. 'Cos I just get bored w/ the food inside. Hehehe... But since they're having Penang promotion, it rather sounds interesting! What comes on ur mind when u heard of Penang food??? Penang laksa? Chao Kway teow w/ ham? Char Moy? Hokkien Mee? Actually I haven't been to Penang before. So, the decision to have my farewell there was right 'cos it opened my mind on what is Penang food tastes or looks like. And they really brought the cooks from Penang to cook all the food. And the taste was very good!!! Beside their promotion, they also serve durian buffet.
That night, I tried almost all the Penang food served. I saw when the char moy was cooked w/ a big flames! It was very interesting. The taste of it was very nice too. My colleague even took two bowls hahahaha....
And I saved some space for durian. I ate about 8 pcs of durian. I ate until I don't want to eat it again this season. Hahahaha.. partly because I've been eating durian for another 3 days this week after work ;P My colleague has managed to take some durian for few of us to enjoy. I ate until my pimples coming up.. hahaha... too heaty... but the durian taste was really nice. He told me, actually the durian grade normally is just a normal one. But since they have been out of stock 'cos the order for the buffet was a lot.. the supplier had to look for the replacement and they supplied us w/ D24 instead. Weee.... ^^ Once he and I opened one durian. There were 5 pieces inside one durian, where 1 side consists of 1 piece. Can u imagine? 1 piece each inside. Big and sweet one.. nyummy.... hmmmmm.... sedap... hehehehe...
Anyway.. overall everything was fine. My boss also ate quite a lot. But she left us early 'cos she kept thinking of her new TV that she had to take from the store before it closed. I also took picture w/ Moses Lim, the spoke person for the Penang food promotion. Thank you everyone for the great farewell for me :)
Wow, how time flies! It's been 2 weeks since they came. Still remember when my hubby rushed down from the concert whereby the clock in my room didn't work properly and I still thought it was too early to go to the airport. I had to carry my sleeping son to the car and we arrived at the airport still quite early before they came out.
We just managed to go to Wild Wild Wet, had steamboat at Bugis, and had almost whole day in the zoo. The rest, we just met each other for some time at their home. Their time was short while they also went back to Jakarta for about 8 days and even in Singapore they have limited time to meet so many people they know and care.
Now it's quiet time for me. My sis, my bro, they all have left Singapore. Leave me alone here. Hiks.. hiks... seriously, I feel lonely. I know, my hubby is beside me and so does my son. My hubby is going to start his job soon and from the words he said, he is kinda excited w/ his new job as a personal driver. He's already had plan in his mind to earn as much money as possible by doing overtime. He will have less time for family and will lose his freedom as well. =(
But I can't be selfish all the time. I must let him fly high.. No matter what, he is the backbone of this family. I will be jobless soon.
These few days I've been training the person who will replace me. Sometimes it reminds me of the time when I first time went for work. How I learn from zero, how I gotta know about things I know now, how I made friends w/ all my colleagues, and so on. I brought Edith, the new girl, to my last Staff Comm. There are lots of great news in future, in which I can't witness and participate. 10th anniversary promotions, renovation work to the hotel rooms, D&D, PD's re-certification, etc. I just know.. it wasn't meant to be mine. If it's mine, it will be mine. And if it isn't, then let it go. Yes, let go.. and don't stick to whatever it is.. then you will feel happier =)
At the mean time, keep hoping for the better.
I'm just scared of feeling alone. I'm scared I will think stupid2 things. Now I know how Yi chen feels now. Being there w/ hubby to a new country w/ little friends and just one relative. Yi chen, jia you!!! You can do it! And me too, Zhong Mei Qi!! Jia you!!!!

Handover soon...
I had lunch w/ my lunch partner today @LJS. Just the two of us. We chatted and ate. She has problems w/ people at her working place and really stressed about it. Although she has reported it out to her superior, no action has been taken until she doesn't know how to vent her anger and frustrations. Just few days ago my hubby watched the TV about anger, which is hided inside or vent it outside. Both caused harm to human bodies. So the best thing is to diminish the anger from our lives. Again, the reason people may leave the job.. not because of the job.. but because of human's behaviour and inter-relationship between them, which I found is very 'ke xi' - too bad.. So, I really 'pei fu' or 'katok' those who can stay w/in the company for years. They must have a 'tahan banting' qualities w/in themselves =D Well.. now I'm preparing the handover duties for the new staff. Gotta stop here now. Ciao!
Monday, July 23, 2007
After that we continued our journey to Marina Square. I managed to buy 2 pants, 1 shirt, and lotion, preparing for my Japan trip ;P
Wow, I just glanced through my calendar. My last day of work would be on Swiss national day, 1st August. I still can enjoy Swiss food @Swiss cafe on my last day before departing the company for good hehehe... and it's just in 7 more working days from now!! And another 3 more weeks would be my Japan trip.. weeeee....... I know.. I gotta spend lots of money on it but maybe it would be my last 'expensive' trip for my age now before I work hard to earn my money back again... =)
PY also bought a t-shirt and running pant "Nike" brand.. so expensive.. hehehe.. but she loves it very much. We walked there 'til 10pm before we rushed to Carrefour at Suntec. I went there to buy the bandle package --> 1GB M2 Card & Bluetooth headset DH-970 for only $148 =D And I use it already. Wow.. so convenient using the bluetooth. And I've put it all my songs into the mini memory card. We went back home by bus and I reached home at 11.45pm.
As for yesterday, spending half of my day doing the PD slides and in evening time, my hubby, Reever, and I went to Compass Point at Sengkang to have our dinner at Banquet and walked around to see if there was any good bargain, which apperently, didn't have! But we managed to buy one Doraemon display and he bought the towel & its container, in which the container is for me to put my bluetooth.. hehehehe... Thank you, hubby...
My friend from Jakarta was calling me last night telling me that he is in Singapore right now 'til the end of the week for the training. And tonight we're going to meet for dinner - also w/ his friend. Well.. like usual.. Chinatown would be my meeting place. Hahahaa.. at least for now...
And yesterday I called back home. My aunt received my call saying that my parents and everyone else were going out to Garut via Bandung and would only be back tonight. I will call my mum again tonight!
Ok.. write 'til here first.. Have a nice day!!
Saturday, July 21, 2007
I chose the blue colour instead the gold one although I found that I like the gold one when I saw it at the first time, but there was few material's difference and I chose to buy the blue one. So far I found it alright, except for the battery that is fast to finish.. (I found all 3G phone has the same problem). Very different w/ my previous handphone, where it can last for 3 days and didn't finish that fast.
I still wanna buy the 1GB memory card and I saw at Today yesterday the bundle promotion (1GB memory card w/ Bluetooth DH-790 for only $149). It is only sold in certain shops, so I plan to go and buy it today. But my friend is still sleeping now, still receive no news from her.. and time has already shown 3pm now. Dunno if she still wants to go or not. Not just for buying this, but also to look and see around 'cos today is the last two days of the GSS (Great Singapore Sale) and we seldom go out together now since she changed job to other company.
My hubby has already gone out w/ his buddy. Wah, just heard that his friend won the Audio House promotion. He bought 42 inch plasma tv for $2k plus and he guessed the right 1D number and won half of the price back, which is $1k plus.. what a lucky guy!!! and what a cheap TV it became.. hahahaha... I told my hubby, can I get the PSP from $1k share? haiehaiehiaheia.. *u wish...
Oklah.. still got thing to do now... Have a nice weekend... Byeee

Family time
Is the date reminding you of something scary??? Thought that something bad will happen??? Well.. just because the series always relates to it, doesn't mean that it will surely happen on that particular date. But some people were really believe that something bad will happen on that day so they tried to avoid it by not going to work but instead staying at home to protect themselves ^^
Despite knowing about the date, my eldest sis and her hubby still chose that date to fly and come to Singapore. My hubby, Reever and I fetched them at the airport. They came out quite late *at about 10.20pm, although the plane has landed at 9.30pm. Maybe it was because many planes landed at the same time, that's why so many people were queuing at the immigration.We didn't straightly go to my bro's home, but we went out for supper at Changi Village. My bro-in-law was quite hungry, so we brought them to eat the famous nasi lemak there. And it took us quite some time to reach Bishan and they arrived at about 12am. Once reached home, I was very tired already and suddenly my sis called me and told me that my bro's room's door was locked and all of us had no clue where the key was. After calling here and there, she found out that the key was w/ the aunty who stays two floor above them and she had to wake her up in the middle of the night to get the key. I slept at about 1.30am
Saturday 14th July 2007We woke up early and prepared ourselves to meet my sis & her hubby at Chinatown. We were having dim sum for our breakfast. After makan, I brought them walking around the area, such as Fo Ya Temple, Hindu Temple, etc. Then we went to Vivo city to take some pictures and we took the monorail to Sentosa.
We stopped at Imbiah Station and we went up to the Carlsberg Tower to see the view of Singapore (nothing to see actually and kinda waste of money 'cos there were renovations work done everywhere in the area for the incoming Intergrated Resort and it finished very fast - less than 10 mins). We paid $12 for that.. *Don't think I'll take that again next time. Not worthed at all!!! *see pic - Raymond and my bro-in-law inside the Carlsberg Tower
We then played the luge and took the skyride as the second entertainment. It was fun and the luge went quite fast as the road is sliding down. And my hubby was scared to death when taking the skyride. He didn't dare to see below and it was worst when the skyride was stopping for few minutes. My son enjoyed the skyride and didn't scare at all.. hahaha.. *see pic - me & Reever ready for our luge ^^
2R & I fetched my brother & family at midnight in the airport. The nanny who took care my brother's daughter was fetching them too together w/ her two daughters. Finally they reached Singapore safely and we brought them back to their home sweet home. After 7 months, they're finally home for holiday. We went back home not long after that 'cos we were so tired already. My hubby just finished watching "Jacky Cheung's Concert" before that so he was very tired liao. He watched the concert w/ his buddy and he said it was quite enjoyable 'cos Jacky Cheung is their favourite singer since they were very young.
Sunday 15th July 2007
Woke up quite late in Sunday morning. 2R & I had our brunch nearby our home then we prepared ourselves for our journey to Wild Wild Wet!!! We reached there at 3pm and at 4pm my sis and the others came and we enjoyed our time together 'til the swimming park closed at 7pm. *see pic - WWW =)
We took bus & MRT to Bugis then we walked to eat steamboat at opposite of Shaw Tower. Eventually we went to other shop, which doesn't have a very nice soup and ingredients, but slightly cheaper. I remembered wrongly about the price. We normally eat at other restaurant *next to it, which costs $15/pax incl. drink, while the place we went costs $12.80/pax excl drink. But oklah, we sat at upper floor and they have air-con inside. We ate and chatted until 10 pm plus and went back home. Since we were very tired, my hubby and I decided to take taxi and that's where I lost my mobile.. inside the taxi. It fell off from my pant's pocket and I only realised about my mobile after reaching home and finish taking a bath. By the time I called, it connects, but it was off by the other party. Twice. And third one, bye bye for good. The person turned my phone off and that's it!
I felt lost but I had to tell to myself.. what has gone, has been gone.. Sad over it, also no use.. So what I can do now.. is to collect the new info from my friends. Haiz.. so many info inside my old handphone. Pictures as well, but I had downloaded the pics into my computer, at least not so bad.. But the address etc.. nope..
Monday 16th July 2007
No mood to work, so I took urgent leave. I joined my hubby and the rest to the zoo. We walked a lot and it's very tiring... but children did enjoy it. We went there 'til 5.30pm and we took bus to J8 Bishan and we had our dinner at Sakae Sushi together w/ my bro & sis-in-law who just joined us from their activities. We ate there and sat at their home for a while before going back home. *see pic - Astro (my bro's son), my eldest sis, me, Aryn (my bro's daughter), and Reever
Tuesday 17th July 2007
Went work like usual. Once finished, I met 2R at Taka before we went together to Newton Circus to have our dinner there w/ everyone. Food was so so and expensive. But oklah.. My bro wanted to see how it looks like after being renovated last year. We ate and chatted again before heading home.
On Wed, my eldest sis and her hubby went back to Jakarta while on Thur, my bro n his families went back to Jakarta. And today, 21 July 2007, my 2nd sis went to Jakarta from Hong Kong. They will continue the reunion there. My mum asked me to go back to w/ Reever, but I can't make it now. Maybe after 1st Aug. See first la... =)

Ok ok.. since dun have anything much... I won't write much as well.. hehiehiehe.. Later going back and having dinner at home. My hubby is experimenting the Thai green curry and Indonesian soto ayam for a whole day.. Must appreciate it.. haeihaiehhiae...
Well.. ciao ciao.. oh ya.. just learn new word "Qui ennuie!!!" which means "bloody boring" in UK or "damned boring" in US. Hahahahahhaa.... =D
Wednesday, July 04, 2007
Today manage to do some work and try to compile everything latest by tomorrow. Hopefully I can manage to do that 'cos by Friday, the reports must be ready to fly.. hehehe... far far away...
Later I will have dinner w/ my sis, her hubby, my hubby & son, her housemates, and others who can make it ^^
Tomorrow she will fly early in the morning, I guess. Hm.. finally it's time to go. How fast time flies... Remember when we still talked about it.. seemed like still far away.. and now.. it'll happen tomorrow!!! I can only pray for your happiness, Sis! Hope your hubby and you can make it! And hopefully everything goes on smoothly...
Well.. be ready w/ loneliness.. hiks hiks hiks... eh.. not yet.. 'cos lots of people are coming soon! ;P My eldest sis and her hubby will come here from 13-18th, while my bro and families will arrive here on 14th and fly to Jakarta on 19th. *sigh... I'm sure time will fly very fast again.. ;(
Off from work soon.. 25 mins.. not too soon.. hehehe.. I'm tired liao.. but I still have to go for the dinner.. only after that then I'll have chance to take a rest.. Have a great evening!!!
Tuesday, July 03, 2007
I tendered my resignation yesterday evening before going back home. Actually my plan would be next Monday, but then after I thought about it.. what for??? If people good to me, I will be good to them. If they don't... hehehe... u know la... I won't harm them, curse them or whatsoever.. nothing like that in my mind.. BUT I don't think I will give them so much 'cos at the end, they only take me for granted. I guess everyone will hate to be taken for granted. Do you?
I feel free now. So does she. I can see her smiling again.. imagining that she 'll get someone new that can brighten up her days even more hehehe.. *is that her or my imagination???? ;P
That's me. I always do something in rush. But one thing.. I will never regret no matter if later I found that how wrong my decision was. Once I decided on something.. I believe everything happens for a reason.
Actually lately, maybe in previous 2-3 months, I feel that.. there was many things that urge me to go out from my comfortable nest. I don't deny. This working place, my job, everything is good. But again.. perhaps I need to see more from outer world *if I were given a chance.. and I believe.. I need fate to be here.. and it's because of my fate too that I've to leave this place.
Well.. one month to go!!! At the mean time.. I will look around for a new job. Wish me luck!!!

Report: BMW to announce electric 3-Series in September
2019 BMW 3-Series spy shots – Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien
Enlarge Photo
After stumbling with the oddball i3, BMW has changed its approach to electric cars by developing battery-powered versions of its core models rather than launching standalone EVs.
The automaker has already committed to an electric X3 in 2020, plus an electric Mini to be launched one year prior. Now a report out of Germany claims an electric version of the 3-Series, BMW's most important nameplate, is to be announced soon.
Citing anonymous sources at the automaker, Handelsblatt (subscription required) reports that an announcement on the electric 3-Series will be made as early as September. The car's range is said to be at least 250 miles, though the figure is likely based on the more lenient European test cycle.
An electric 3-Series would be a direct rival to Tesla's Model 3 which is due for a reveal in July and promised to be priced comparably to gasoline-powered 3-Series models. The Model 3 has already racked up 400,000 pre-orders, no doubt many of them from potential 3-Series buyers, and this success has seen Tesla's market value soar to mania-like levels. Tesla's market cap topped $ 61.6 billion in June, which is just $ 1.2 billion shy of BMW's value.
A redesigned 3-Series is just around the corner and will utilize the same CLAR modular platform in the latest X3, 5-Series and 7-Series models. Therefore, with BMW already committed to launching an electric X3, transferring the powertrain into the 3-Series (and other CLAR-based models) shouldn't be too costly. We've also heard that a new 4-Series Gran Turismo to replace the current 3-Series GT will also be coming with an electric option.
But what about BMW's i sub-brand established for vehicles with alternative powertrains? With vehicle electrification increasingly becoming the norm, BMW has changed the focus of the i sub-brand to self-driving and connectivity technologies. The i3 and i8 will continue with updates while a new i car, code-named the iNext, will bow in 2021 and offer self-driving capability and an advanced interface.
Let's block ads! (Why?)

Here is another one : Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures.
The choices are still a summer rally regardless if its June, July or August. You can even include September up to about the 22nd. Its hot and that seems to be an issue here ! If you can't stand the heat run for BoD.
