THE BATTERY CABLES WERE UPSIDE DOWN.Apparently the connectors are tapered in one direction, and when the boys at Jiffy Lube put my new battery in a few months ago, they put them on upside down.   It wasn t enough of a problem that the car wouldn t start, but it caused the strange electrical issues, and it was making the alternator work harder than it should need to, which caused the engine whining noise.And so I had to pay $75 for someone to flip my battery cables around.

Not even going to be in Vista as wellThe info above points out that the minimum hardware is extreme well wow I m impressed.   Thanks MS can you also give me a $500 rebate on the hardware ill have to buy or are you (clearly you are) making Vista as a way to Ship OEM boxes.Since when did a 12K Rpm hard drive even become available to the general consumer let alone AFFORDABLE Microsoft is setting incredibly unrealistic requirements for this and is leveraging their monopolistic position to force the problems onto hardware manufacturers to fix for them instead of working harder to make the product usable with existing hardware and with foreseeable technology instead of demanding users use experimental hardware to get the best performance or even just the best experience from their product without any kind of proof such things are truly necessary for this to be achieved.

1008 BLOG06-20051214-025-0023540468 Human rights advocacy groups from around the globe have reached agreement on what the key elements of an effective Council need to be .    This includes the election of states committed to human rights so that the likes of Lybia cannot serve ( let alone chair the Council as Lybia did the current Human Rights Commission ) , having the Council be a standing body with the right to investigate specific human rights abuses and to meet more often than the current short spring session in Geneva . One key to keeping human rights abusers off the Council is to require a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly to elect a state to the Council ,   another is to require each regional bloc to nominate more states than it is allotted ,   and a third is to use specific criteria , such as ratification of key UN human rights treaties .

It s when we refuse, under any circumstances, to resort to torture that we can most loudly condemn torturers.   If Gitmo is undermining out ability to shout down the worst abusers, then Gitmo s a liability in the long term.The Commission s flaws must be addressed, since those flaws certainly undermine the cause of defining and respecting human rights on a global scale.

Yet in 2006, the Los Angeles Philharmonic tops the list of America s premier orchestras and serves as a lesson in how to update an august cultural institution without cheapening its work.It has everything.   Its new home, the $275 million Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank Gehry, became a national cultural landmark the instant it opened in 2003 and is as satisfying acoustically as it is visually.

This means you can publish the occassional photo to the web along with your comments about the image for your whole family/world to enjoy.In the past I have used services such as Photobucket and Yahoo s Flickr to hold the images and I just placed references to link to these images in the blog articles.   If you wanted to store a whole bunch of images in a photogallery then Flickr would probably be the way to go still, but you have to pay for the service if you use it to any great extent.Alternatively, if you have a reasonable ADSL connection then you could get a small computer (old laptop or low power desktop like an e-vectra) and install MySQL, PHP, Apache and Coppermine.

1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 As a piece of user interface design, Picasa is gleefully original, useful, attractive and function rich. iPhoto does the job, but with less flair.

1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 Both applications fall back on another “trick” when this happens : they display a low resolution version of the image , then update with the full-resolution version as soon thereafter as possible .  However , again Picasa does this in a manner which is less intrusive to the user . While iPhoto displays a small version of the image , with “Loading photo…” and a rotating icon beneath , Picasa fills the viewing area with a blocky version of the image , and composites the message “Refining…” onto the image while it loads in the missing pixels .
1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 Both applications feature the option to buy prints from affiliated companies.
1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 Both applications leave the original photograph untouched, and save the edits elsewhere.
1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 Both feature a magic button to automatically correct colour balance and contrast, both of which seem to work well.
1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 But I can already agree with your assessment .  I am used to editing images with Photoshop , but discovered Picasa a few months ago and found it more than suitable for most of my needs — really a killer app as far as freeware goes . iPhoto’s editing functions are still just too primitive , more of a promise from a unreliable friend than something I can assume will be useful .

1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 The intent of this tool is that the user clicks on an area in the picture which they believe to be a neutral colour (i.e. some shade of grey), and the application adjusts the colour balance to suit.

1010 BLOG06-20051212-047-0016591513 Where Picasa was free to implement that innovative yet highly appropriate scrollbar, Apple really had to stick to its own standards.

1010 BLOG06-20060124-011-0003906304 Wednesday, January 11, 2006 Picasa is really fun...I finally found a way to fix the color on this old photo.
1010 BLOG06-20060127-000-0013987591 But the Picasa stuff is nice for a quick fix, and they do have some fun little filters.
1010 BLOG06-20060127-000-0013987591 I ve been using Picasa for awhile now and find it handy.   Haven t tried it for photo-editing though.
1010 BLOG06-20060201-013-0000747714 Picasa Picasa is awesome software that allows you to organize your photos/movies with out having to change directories.
1010 BLOG06-20060204-028-0008232602 Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you know.   You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups.   Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized.Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips.
1010 BLOG06-20060208-000-0003171431 Good picture (I.M.H.O.), but this Hello software from PICASA is worse than useless.
1010 BLOG06-20060212-002-0023225242 IF YOU ARE AT ALL INTO EDITING PHOTOS ON YOUR COMPUTER BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO SPEND SERIOUS BUCKS AND TIME WITH PHOTOSHOP I SUGGEST PICASA BY THE PEOPLE AT GOOGLE
1010 BLOG06-20060215-021-0011709016 Picasa works in Linux fine, but I d love to have it feel a little more native.
1010 BLOG06-20060221-005-0000338882 Chris put me on to Picasa, a photo editor.I used this a long time ago but got frustrated with it.   They seem to have improved it a lot, and for a free bit of software it s excellent for both managing and playing with photos - some of the effects are quite cool.Cheers Chris - and welcome back to blogging!  posted by Rob at 2/14/2006 09:51:00 PM
1010 BLOG06-20060221-023-0021862061 If I remember correctly, some Picasa edits are actually destructive and do not first make a backup such as rotating images.
1010 BLOG06-20060221-023-0021862061 I wish there was an option to have it make changes to the original picture files .  Foo Says : February 20th , 2006 at 3:34 pm If I remember correctly , some Picasa edits are actually destructive and do not first make a backup… such as rotating images . Jon Says : February 20th , 2006 at 8:26 pm Kelly Penguin Girl uses Picasa madly these days and has discovered that it is indeed ‘non destructive’ and , as Blog Jones points out , annoying as all get out .
1010 BLOG06-20060221-023-0021862061 On the flip side, I really hate Picasa as an image editing application.   There are some fairly sophisticated image manipulation tools within Picasa, but exactly how they work is a complete mystery to Kelly (and I).

1010 BLOG06-20060221-023-0021862061 This is why edits and changes made to pictures in Picasa do not change the original picture files .

Speaking of piggybacking, Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel has just introduced federal bill that would also seek to max out the hybrid tax credit.

1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 All of that would need to be developed, not just putting in cheap, unreliable power...
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 All this means is that they pay extra for their power company to swap excess wind power when the wind is blowing for conventional (mostly coal) power the rest of the time.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 And the utility has to build full, stand by generating assets to be there when the wind power isn't.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 As long as people aren't expecting wind to provide 100% of their energy 100% of the time, I don't see why reliability is a problem.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462	 They did not actually buy one watt of power.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 Bottom line   wind power cannot ever be economically or engineering justified.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 But more power to Whole Foods, they're filling a market demand, and that's a good thing in my mind.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 Depends how many extra miles would be driven and how much emissions from other sources would be reduced by replacing them with wind energy.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 However, that doesn't mean that I want to pay taxes or higher electric rates to subsidize expensive, unreliable, supplementary power.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 I bet most people out there are aware that all alternative energies cost more than regular energy, and also that the extra drive probably negates the fossil fuel energy savings from going to whole foods.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 If you want to rely on intermittent power sources, you better figure out energy storage, and conversion is subject to the laws of thermodynamics no matter how much one might wish otherwise.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 I gets even more problematic when you get into reactive power (which has to come from the fossil plant, wind generators don't do reactive).
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 Most people pushing wind power the hardest simply do not understand the way that the power supply actually works.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 The environmentalists successfully taxed every one of you (and me) with a worthless, show technology that just makes them feel warm and fuzzy all over.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 The move to harness the elements sounds as much marketing ploy to me, as a decision driven by environmental righteousness.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 Therefore, if the price of the intermittent output of current technology wind turbines ultimately equals the price of utility electricity, the price per reliable kilowatt hour will be only 20 times the price of utility power of comparable reliability, less the price of the unreliable additional power available from the wind turbines.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 They did not actually buy one watt of power.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 This should help you understand the scale difference between wind power and conventional power plants.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 To take a sympathetic view, however, I suppose that if this is truly what many or most people want then, in the long run, it will cause a lot of other businesses to adopt wind power as their energy standard.
1015 BLOG06-20060115-029-0004940462 Wind power is a nice idea but frequently impractical for the levels of power consumption present in the US (about 5 terrawatts per year IIRC) and the corresponding consumption profile.

1015 BLOG06-20060119-068-0006805940 As widely reported (USA Today, Grist) Whole Foods Market will become the nation s largest consumer of wind energy by purchasing credits equivalent to 100% of its estimated 2006 energy usage.   That s incredible news.   A company with pockets as deep as Whole Foods may find this easier to do than other companies, and will enjoy an enormous PR benefit, but the net effect will most certainly benefit everyone else: Further encouragement for the development of the wind energy industry and cleaner air for everyone, not to mention cheaper wind power down the line - that s a great investement any way you slice it.Whole Foods is the first Fortune 500 company to make an investment like this and will undoubtedly soon have followers.

1021 BLOG06-20060209-012-0000201024 Last May, at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, I took a great dyeing class with Maryland dyer, Carol Bodin.    Actually, it was a "hand painting" class, and I have shown the results of that workshop here on several occasions.    Frankly, I had better luck painting the yarns (Knit Picks, Color Your Own) than rovings, but both came out surprisingly attractive.

I spun some of this roving over the summer and fall onto two bobbins and then plyed it into a single skein, which I knit into my silly looking, but very warm and comfy head warmer.

Enter an address (Here s a house I sold last year) and Zillow returns an image of the neighborhood where the home is located, along with an estimated current value (my current home was appraised last year and Zillow s estimate is a bit low, but on the old house, it is both very high and does not reflect that we sold it last year for $95,000 less than the Zillow estimate), the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.

There is a free speech right, however, because of the atrocities committed towards Jews during WWII there are many hate laws restricting free speech with regards to Jews.   For example in Germany it is illegal to deny the Holocaust happened.I think this is a wrong tact, but it is Germany s way of dealing with a very its past and I hope it will change in the future.

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz told Reuters on Friday the bank was taking the step because Chad had breached a 1999 agreement by altering an oil revenue law meant to safeguard funds to fight poverty in the long term.

" There did not seem to be any movement in their decision to amend the law that was the basis of the 1999 agreement , and until we can come to a better understanding , we have to suspend disbursements on World Bank loans to Chad , " Wolfowitz said .

(He became a major celebrity in those circles.)

By the time the trial was over, Irving s case, and the remnants of his reputation, had been thoroughly demolished.Recently, David Irving traveled to Austria and was arrested under terms of a law that makes Holocaust denial illegal in that country.   If convicted, Irving could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.Deborah Lipstadt has responded to these events not by gloating, but by calling for Irving s release, correctly in my view:"Generally, I don t think Holocaust denial should be a crime," she says.

1049 BLOG06-20060206-024-0037799323 The assurance of the uploader is all thats asked for, at least until a copyright holder with a potential copyright issue approaches the company.   (YouTube has a staff of only 20, and the only censorship they have exercised thus far is of inappropriate material, meaning pornography.)  If the copyright holder of a video that has been bootlegged complains about an illegal upload on YouTube, said Chad Hurley, the companys chief executive, it will immediately shut down the link, thereby canceling anyones ability to see it then and thereafter  because nobody has downloaded it.

(Ms.   Supan of YouTube said the same thing.)

Because YouTube only deals in streaming media , as long as it ' s willing to take down illegal uploads upon complaint ( which is diligently has been , there ' s no problem on their end ) .

1050 BLOG06-20060210-032-0006568388 It s time for a real leader to step in and embrace California s optimism--and if it s not George Clooney himself, then let it be someone with his refreshing knack for telling it like he sees it--someone who, if he dares to make a promise, keeps it--someone who can communicate a vision of his leadership, so that the people of California actually want to follow.   As a general rule, actors are better at communicating a message than most politicians, and the name ID of a big-screen actor doesn t hurt either, which is why California has elected more than one movie-star to its highest office.   George Clooney also happens to have some political conviction and charisma, and he isn t afraid to speak his mind--characteristics our current Governor has altogether abandoned.
