Canon Powershot SD1100 IS

2008-10-10T15:24:00.012-05:00

I just got a new camera (Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS) last week and it is my first camera ever. It costs me around 200 bucks and blue in color. It is nice looking and weighted approximately around 4.41 oz./125g which is superlight for a compact camera. Few people think this camera will be a little less than other canon PowerShot series in term of features which is totally wrong since it features all of the last year most popular compact camera Canon PowerShot SD1100 plus IS(image stabilizer). It produces great quality image; minimal shutter lag; speedy performance; optical image stabilization; face detection; optical viewfinder and just about 125 g. This is a good camera for quick snap and easy to carry. So, overall I think this camera is an excellent camera with all its features and I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting his/her first camera and for those who want an easy operated light camera.

New Aphid species on eBay??

2008-09-22T15:45:00.007-05:00

This is an amazing and interesting story since it happened recently (last month). Buying fossil on eBay has getting more interesting nowadays since it replaces the "real" work that a collector has to do to get a specimen and at the same time discovering a new species??. Unexpectedly, this man:Dr Richard Harrington, Vice President of the Royal Entomological Society and Deputy Science Director at the Centre for Bioenergy and Climate Change, Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, acquired the insect, an aphid, for £20 from eBay which then turns out to be a new species. His colleague Dr Colin Denholm initially spotted the item and made the purchase from an eBay member in Lithuania.

The fossilised insect is encased in Baltic amber approximately the size of a Smartie and this aphid (also known as plant lice, are small plant-eating insects, and members of the superfamily Aphidoidea. Aphids are among the most destructive insect pests on Earth).
This "eBay" Aphid is thought to be dated back to around 35 to 50 million years ago and thought to be originated from tropical climate.
The aphid is now housed in the Natural History Museum and a full description of the insect has been published in the Royal Entomological Society’s journal, Antenna.
Dr Harrington said: “I wanted the aphid to be named Mindarus ebayi but flippant species names are frowned upon these days! I’m delighted to have a work of nature named after me – even if it is an extinct fossil!”

There you go, if you are interested with what aphid is and how this little creature is so destructive, you can always just google it with the keywords aphid and for futher reading about this eBay species go to this site Rothamsted Research

weight loss plan

2008-09-16T21:00:00.004-05:00

A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.

The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her.

A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.

On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.

The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.

She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me."

Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.

This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.

So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads,"If I catch you, you are mine!!!"

He lost 63 pounds that week.

hahahahahahahaha

Capital Punishment

2008-09-03T15:07:00.005-05:00

So, I've been busy this few days, and just wanna make sure that this blog has new thing this time, I just throw in my research paper from my last year summer class. Hope this reading will give some thought for you guys and feel free to give opinion on the subject matter

Capital Punishment

For the past six decades we have been disputing about one of the most controversial issues concerning morality and what type of punishment should be delivered from a courtroom to the defendant. Morality is an issue itself, because it is based on opinion on what is right or wrong, but I do know one thing, and that is punishment should be delivered in equivalence to one’s crime. Capital Punishment should be a consideration, or even exercised regularly throughout the country in courtrooms.
Punishment to one’s crime, as I stated before, should be equivalent to the criminal’s crime. For example, if a little boy steals from your store a piece of gum, your not going to send him to jail but you could just make him pay back the gum and ban him from the place. Now with that little scenario that I illustrated in mind, it leads me to my first point, and that point is proportional retribution. Proportional retribution is commonly confused with revenge, because proportional retribution does seek out proportional punishment to ones crime, but you shouldn’t confuse it with revenge because proportional retribution is a form of equality; a way to balance the crime and punishment out. Yes, proportional retribution is a good way to let society let out their frustrations towards the defendant, without taking the matter at their own hands, but it does not mean it is solely revenge but a point leading me into deterrence.
Deterrence is a form of delivering fear in a psychological way into society. If Proportional retribution is executed throughout the country then deterrence will take place. Future murderers will fear capital punishment leading into less death. Some people may say life imprisonment is a more of a deterrent but how can you prove that? Several cases have been noted where convicts serving life end up in parole such as Clarence Ray Allen from Texas, Richard Marquette of Oregon, Robert Lee Massie from California, and many more. When parole was gained they where let out just to kill and keep their vicious habits. On other cases some may not get parole but end up committing the crime of murder in their own prison like Norman Mailer and many more from New York. So if people try to evade capital punishment because it’s not humane, then how is it humane to put murderers next to murderers in a contained box? If life imprisonment does not execute enough fear; what fear will have a greater deterrent effect on them than the death penalty? Well let’s say they are correct though for a moment and life imprisonment is more of a deterrent. Now the criminal will be caged up into a little cell for life but the thing is the criminal is still taking something with them, a sort of value. This value of which the criminal possesses is life. The person is still living with accommodations consisting of food, bed and activities that must be paid in some kind of way; the average payment of $805,000 per inmate comes from none other than our tax payers. If life imprisonment is commonly used, then our tax will rise because of the increase of inmates obtaining this sentence.
There many ways people could die out in the world because of other people, like automotive makers. They could make their cars 100% safe but that would cost them an extra $100,000 which will reduce the buyers of cars; or like default appliances could be dangerous but why not ban it? Why not just stay home 24-hours in the house secure? Did you know doing all that would at least disable us from giving out wrong convictions on killers because of moral value. Most people say moral values should come in place into this decision of whether making the death penalty a common use as punishment in the country. Moral values, like I said before, are very opinionated. Moral values come from the culture (their customs in a specific place) from where the person was developed in, so moral values shouldn’t come into consideration but focus on the logical conclusions. Think about how many lives will be spared because 1) the murderers will be killed, so the threat will be abolished and 2) future murderers will know their outcome and fear punishment.
For decades this issue has been in controversy, but now we can settle it once and for all. Death penalty should be legalized throughout the country and be an option for criminals committing murders. From proportional retribution for equality of punishments in crimes, to the death punishment being a deterrent leading to the elimination of killers, legalizing death penalty is a great solution for minimizing the possibilities of people being killed in the future.

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So your heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
