During a discussion with some Chinese friends today we began to talk about computers, the internet and its effect on China. During the course of this conversation I learned something new about Chinese colors I had never heard in my two and a half years here. It went something like this:

This is Le Project Triangle, to be completed in Paris in 2014. On one side it looks like a massive pyramid but on the other side it looks like an ultra-thin triangle. What's going on here?

Years ago when we needed a new bedroom clock/radio/alarm clock I got one with a double alarm. My ingenious idea was that my husband and I could both have separate alarms as we had different schedules.

When you want to buy a home you will generally need to look into home loans to see what your financing options are. You may have assumed, before you started looking into it, that there was just one sort of loan that people could get when they wanted to buy a home but when you start looking into it you will find that buying a home with a loan is much more complicated than that. There are a lot of different loan products out there for you to choose from and chances are you will not be able to navigate the world of loans all on your own. Instead, you may need to seek the assistance of a mortgage broker to help you understand what is what and also help you determine what sort of loan may be best for you and your specific situation.Home Loan BasicsThere are many different types of home loans fo

Paula Abdul was very pathetic last night and very very confused she had a lot to say about the two songs Jason Castro sung on "Idol" Tuesday night -- too bad he hadn't sung them both yet! She was going on and on and Simon and Randy were looking at her like what are you talking about! Ryan was looking awat from her so he did not laugh. Then when Randy finally told her that Jason had only song one song. She said what "I was sure I heard two songs". It was too funny, poor Paula she has to lay off the drugs or booze or both :-)

The *** Cancer International Research Group (BCIRG) office in Edmonton, Canada, was broken into, and three laptops were stolen. Two of them were brand new and unused, so the chance of a data breach is not there at all. However, one of the laptops stolen was already in use.
The IT director for BCIRG has assured the public that the chance of an information security breach are remote (no word on whether there was sensitive data in that one laptop) because “a password was connected to a hard drive,” according to a quote from edmontonsun.com.
This statement is a little confusing for a couple of reasons. One: generally, a password doesn’t mean bupkis when it comes to data protection, unless that password is used to access encrypted data; I’d imagine

Google is by far the most popular and efficient search engine that is in operation today. But have you ever thought about the inherent factor that can be termed as the cause for Google’s phenomenal success. The most important factor behind Google’s popularity is its very efficient PAGERANK algorithm, which actually helps you find that elusive page from a collection of over 25 billion web pages. The aspect that differentiates an effective search engine from a decent one is its ability to rank the pages , that contain the matched text, in a proper order of relevance for the end user. Almost all search engines can do the text matching effectively, but its only Google that gives you the most relevant search results upfront.So let’s find out the secret behind the success of
Loan payment insurance is often confusing to the majority of people considering taking it out. Along with this, they often get very little information given at the time of buying. This can be especially so if cover is taken along with the borrowing. The options for taking out cover are not made clear and this leaves many believing that taking it alongside the loan is the only way of buying policy. You do not have to take a policy alongside the borrowing. You can choose to shop around and look for the cheapest quotes. By going with specialist providers for the quotes, you are able to make huge savings and get essential advice. An ethical provider will make the information needed available before buying so the consumer is able to make the right choice. They supply articles and FAQs and these

Sure, there's activity. But what's the achievement? Every study done on these "buybacks" says they don't work to lower crime, nor do they do anything to make homes safer....(read more)

Prices are dropping! Save 60% to 70% on term life insurance! We’ve all read the articles and seen the advertisements. We would all like a piece of that less expensive pie to protect our families. But, is it real? Does the agent you are talking to really know how to find those rates? Does your agent really want to find those rates?
Reading an industry magazine, a colorful advertisement caught my eye with the statement “Seize a new opportunity with Lifefirst - the powerful new term product from Foresters”. It presented a comparison with five other companies showing just how great their pricing is. Using a male age 45, best health class, purchasing $600,000 of 20 year term, it stacked up like this. Foresters was $855 annually. Shanendoah was $978, Old Mutual $1236, Americo $1338 and Chesapeake $1396.
Clearly Foresters is a force to be reckoned with, right? While this ad was designed to attract agents to sell Foresters, and it will, the same information will go out to con

The full moon is bigger in the desert. At least that’s what the denizens of open spaces say, those lucky enough to be spared the daily fluctuations of coastal climes. In the desert the full moon is bigger.
Chamber Pillars: Is this your first sunset?
The moon in Alice Springs ascends from behind the MacDonnell Ranges that line and ring the town. And the moon is indeed big – a luminous orange orb that can entrance an eye for those first few minutes of movement in evening sky. The spattered scatterings of the Milky Way draw back at its grasp of nights’ undraped velvet curtain, like the skirts of the hills pulled up to the heavens.
Just beyond the ranges that hem this odd desert oasis, through the Heavitree Gap that opens for the road to the “south” (as in, everywhere else that isn’t north of Australia’s arid centre) and out by the road to the airport, nestles a dirt road that is oft un-driven by the passing hordes. An ideal hard-yakka sojourn

Arsenal maintained their lead at the top of the Premiership table after a hard-fought 2-2 draw with second place Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The home side were forced to come from behind twice against their major title rivals, with Arsenal captain William Gallas proving to be the hero after an excellent stoppage-time equaliser. Despite the thrilling finish to the contest the first half was a relatively quiet affair until just a minute before the break when Manchester United took the lead through an unfortunate Gallas own goal. But Arsenal took just two minutes of the second half to get back in the game when Cesc Fabregas finished smartly from Bacary Sagna’s pass. United then looked to have won the match when Cristiano Ronaldo tapped into an empty net in the 81st after good work from substitute Louis Saha and Patrice Evra, but Arsenal found a late reply through the most unlikely source when Gallas redeemed himself by firing home from the tightest of angle

Attempts to amend the Foreign Business Act this year have led to foreign investment in the Thai real estate market plunging, says Lars Lang, a partner of Thai Estate Scandinavian Company, a niche developer.

Individual Scandinavians are still buying but are shying away from anything costing more than seven to eight million baht.
It's all over the news that Idaho Senator Larry Craig was arrested in a Minneapolis public restroom for signaling his desire to engage in anonymous sexual behavior with an undercover police officer. The country is now getting an unexpectedly graphic education about bathroom "cruising" signals such as foot tapping, hand motions and other subtle forms of nonverbal solicitation. I bet many men
Note: I must say here that I am forced to write something good about Scottish weather. Stuart and GG are deeply concerned that I have sent the incorrect message across the nation that the sun forget to shine in Scotland and the weather is entirely, continuously dreadful. But to me, the virgin of weather-changing-climate, the amateur of four-season-in-one-day temperature, Scottish weather is still confusing. It's not just because it is awfully cold during summer, but because it could change just in seconds. Last Wednesday I put a grey cashmere dress which reaches my knees on, have a pair of black thighs and ankle boots, because when I looked outside the window, I strongly believe that it was cold and windy. It took 10 minutes walking for me to to reach the town, and of course, the joke was on me! Suddenly the sun decided to finish hiding and to show itself in all glory, and the town was filled with people walking down in Union Street only wearing tank tops and mini skirts. I felt lik
Busch Series drivers were on their best behavior for almost 70 laps Saturday, minding their manners in a fine display of classic road-course racing in cultured Montreal. “After you, Monsieur!” “Oh no, be my guest!”
Tips: read this while listening to Ciara's 1,2 Step song. Let me see ya1, 2 stepI love it when ya1, 2 stepEverybody1, 2 stepWe about to get it on People have had warned me that UK weather is terrible, but I've only come here during autumn and it was usually cold and cloudy, so I thought, what can be more awful than that? I've had a bonus when the first time we landed in London three years ago and it was so bright, warm and clear I was only wearing a tanktop next to my pregnant friend. And my experience of autumn in these past 3 years wasn't so bad, ultimately I've survived by wearing 3 layers, my winter coat (bought in Australia, so it's not thick), and knee-length boots. So when I arrived in Aberdeen in early July, I thought, it's summer, it's supposed to be warm (hopefully hot), and I can wear my Bali attire (you know, backless, low neckline, very short pants, and jeweled sandals). Well so far I've been here for a month, and never in my life I've worn the wrong
Just came across some interesting numbers on American poverty, through this report: “Understanding Poverty in America“. In the write-up below, I am presenting some interesting highlights from the 2004 report (which is based on the Census data from 2002).
To better appreciate the facts, it is important to view them in light of the poverty thresholds (income levels below which a person or a family is considered “poor”) for 2002. Towards that, here are some of the 2002 poverty thresholds from Census.gov.
Single person: $9,183
Two person household: $11,756
Three person household: $14,348
Four person household: $18,392
In 2002, according to the US Census Bureau, there were about 35 million “poor” Americans - people who were below those thresholds.
Now, let’s move on to the *typical* characteristics of these poor people, as mentioned in the report [by the way, always keep in mind that “typical” does not mean “all” - it is
Caller: Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan (anyone)? Operator: Yes, you can speak to me.Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan! Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this?Caller: I’m Sam Wan (someone) and I need to talk to Annie Wan! It is urgent.Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone, but what is this urgent matter about? Caller: @#$… just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noel Wan (no one ) was involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan (everyone) is on his way to the hospital. Operator: Look, if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn’t an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don’t have time for this! Caller: You are so rude! What is your name?Operator: I am Saw Lee (sorry)!Caller: Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!!
I am glad the Tall One is not going to work for a while. She has more time to take care of Miss Prissy and me, and the Cool One comes over more often. Yesterday, he visited us, and he held me in his hand. I fell asleep right away. Being around the Cool One is very relaxing. It feels as if I had never left the egg. Imagine my surprise when I woke up and saw the Cool One a few feet away from me. I was still in comfortable human hands, but it was the Tall One! He must have handed me off to her while I was snoozing. Talk about a rude awakening! I don't want her to start thinking that she can hold me like that! So I bit her right away and started moving toward the Cool One. Luckily, the Tall One realized that she could not hold me, so she handed me back to my friend's hand. I hope she doesn't try to hold me again! I bit her today when she tried to pick me up, just to make sure she doesn't get any ideas. I'm cool and tough, not cuddly!!!
Just a quick post to clarify, if you got an email telling you the site will open within 24 hours, and how to sign up for your free account, the site will not be open until 5-6pm GMT today. I sent out 20 last night, and the replies are flooding in from confused people, so humble apologies for not being clear in the email.
Early testers didn’t have this problem as we let them in with a password, but since we’re removing the password today, we thought it was a good idea to give out the remaining free accounts at the same time.
So there we have it.. the site will open at 6pm GMT Today. The activation code in the email is for the signup form, not the password prompt that pops up.
Any problems as always, don’t hesitate… support@gizfolio.com
