Laus Deo (an emailed article)
One detail that is never mentioned is that in Washington, D.C. there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument
.
With all the uproar about removing the Ten Commandments, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time. I was not aware of this amazing historical information.
On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. , are displayed two words: Laus Deo.
No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less.
Once you know Laus Deo's history , you will want to share this with everyone you know. These words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia, capital of the United States of America.
Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world.
So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply, they say 'Praise be to God!'
Though construction of this giant obelisk began in 1848, when James Polk was President of the United States , it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo 'Praise be to God!'
From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure, visitors may take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its division into four major segments. From that vantage point, one can also easily see the original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles l'Enfant ..a perfect cross imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the north. The Jefferson Memorial is to the south, the Capitol to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west
A cross you ask? Why a cross? What about separation of church and state? Yes, a cross; separation of church and state was not, is not, in the Constitution. So, read on. How interesting and, no doubt, intended to carry a profound meaning for those who bother to notice.
Praise be to God! Within the monument itself are 898 steps and 50 landings. As one climbs the steps and pauses at the landings the memorial stones share a message.
- On the 12th Landing is a prayer offered by the City of Baltimore;
- on the 20th is a memorial presented by some Chinese Christians;
- on the 24th a presentation made by Sunday School children from New York and Philadelphia quoting Proverbs 10:7, Luke 18:16 and Proverbs 22:6. Praise be to God!
When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on July 4th, 1848 deposited within it were many items including the Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society. Praise be to God! Such was the discipline, the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the founder and first President of our unique democracy 'One Nation, Under God.'
I am awed by Washington's prayer for America Have you ever read it? Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on!
'Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.'
Laus Deo!
When one stops to observe the inscriptions found in public places all over our nation's capitol, he or she will easily find the signature of God, as it is unmistakably inscribed everywhere you look. You may forget the width and height of 'Laus Deo ', its location, or the architects but no one who reads this will be able to forget its meaning, or these words: 'Unless the Lord builds the house its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.' (Psalm 127: 1)
It is hoped you will send this to every child you know; to every sister, brother, father, mother or friend. They will not find offense, because you have given them a lesson in history that they probably never learned in school. With that, be not ashamed, or afraid, but have pity on those who will never see this because someone failed to send it on.

Three reasons why laughing is good for your health:
1. Your heart - laughing lowers your blood pressure while increasing the amount of oxygen carried in your blood.
2. Your lungs - a deep belly laugh is like an internal aerobic workout, helping you breath more efficiently.
3. Your anxiety level - laughing lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol, reducing tension. So take time to laugh even at the corniest joke!

You’ll ask, ‘why with the GPS?’
I did use my laptop as a driving guidance. I like the big screen with the choice of different GPS softwares.
One thing about this laptop is that it has no integrated optical drive (CD-ROM/DVD), you have to to make use of its external USB ODD or convert you disc to ISO format. And thats about it.

Comcast HD Lineup
Thank you HD!
Here's my HD line up using ATSC tuning:
- 70.2 CNN HD
- 71.1 A&E HD
- 71.2 History HD
- 72.1 HGTV HD
- 72.2 Food HD
- 73.1 National Geographic HD
- 73.2 USA HD
- 88.5 ESPN HD
- 91.4 Universal HD
- 92.3 MHD
- 114.3 ESPN2 HD
Plus the local HD OTA (over the air) broadcast channels. As you can see here, the channels have decimals meaning they are 'direct' broadcast digital channels. You need to auto tune your ATSC tuner to get this channels. Your mileage may vary and this is not permanent programming meaning comcast can change the line up anytime. You may need to rescan the channels to find out more. I am not sure if they are uncompressed or not, but its is on HD.
Enjoy!

Maxtor 300GB HDD Storage, Grab it on sale now!
This is one deal to beat. At 16 cents per gigabyte, this one is a steal.
I am talking about the Maxtor 300GB hardisk drive. This has the older IDE (pata) interface which is compatible with the old systems. It spins at 7,200 rpm with a buffer memory of 16 MB, see the specs on the OD ad link below.
PS: I am not endorsing the seller nor promoting the product, I am only saying that this is a good deal.

A Reason to like iPhone...
If you don't like apple's iPhone, take a look at this.
I am not a fan of iPhone nor the apple products, but coming across this article, gives me a reason to like it. For one, it is going to be integrated to the new Land Rover LRX.
Although it is in early stage, perhaps this trim is only an option or the plan may still change.

Blogging to be made ILLEGAL!
I started the morning as usual. A little warm up around the house, a cup of java and a glimpse of the news.
Then my favorite part, check emails. Then I was stumped in this article.
Its a little extreme that "thinking thoughts against the war on Iraq could be considered a criminal act." - from that article.
So much for the free speech (and thoughts) for "the land of the free..."

Nice to have - Nokia N95
This item is one on my nice to have list, but keeping on mind that 'buy what you need and not what you want' fact and no budget for that mentality, I can still live with my Motorola RAZR that can still serve its purpose.
I am just putting this item on my gadget line up. It is currently twice the price of Apple iPhone for reasons that I am not so much aware of. Although there are already reviews and direct comparison, I am a fan of Symbian OS and familiar with its 'user friendly' menus. That is why my preference is still with Nokia. Another reason is the 5 Megapixel photos and the built in GPS. Yes, the Apple iPhone has a very good screen size and resolution but I am not fond of listening to portable movies and music.
Besides the main function of these gadget is to make and recieve calls, in that aspect Nokia has the edge since it is a quad band enabled meaning you can roam to other countries without a problem. Youll never get lost too, since you have a GPS, just need to use a little common sense, a sense that is not common to all!
So that's it, Im sticking to N95! (at least for now...)
Chao!

Get your Yahoo emails from outlook and outlook express
Yes you can retrieve your emails using outlook and outlook express. And not only that, it can support even other email client programs listed here. Outlook express is the email client program that comes with microsoft windows.
Heres how:
1. Download the ypops program. This is the program that communicate with your yahoo account from the internet. Think of it as your email carrier. It fetches your new emails from your mailbox and delivers your outgoing emails.
2. Install ypops. Set it and forget it. It even looks for a newer version. Read more on the instructions on how to install ypops.
3. Set your email account in outlook/outlook express.
I am more comfortable in using the email client than accessing the webmail, but thats me. Your preference maybe different, anyway thatnks for reading my blog.
Thats it! I hope this contribute something to make your life easier.

Free Pay Pay Per View
Do you have a HDTV set?
Do you live in Katy,TX area?
Do you have Comcast cable service?
Well if you answer yes to all that items, you can try to 'surf' ATSC (digital) channels from 71.1 to 84.10.
Actually what I thought of this is that some of my neighbor has rented a pay-per-view programs and I was able to see it. So the completion of the program is at the hands of the renter. Meaning if they pause, stop, FF, REW what is being shown, you can see the same action too. Also, you do not have the exact time of when the show starts. If you happen to caught the beginning of the show and the renter finishes it. You are in luck, if not, it is otherwise. If you dont like it, just go watch sesame street at PBS. Or you can buy your own PPV.
I do not know how it is done, I just watch. There are different shows that are being watched so all you have to do is catch them.
A little note beside, if you have little kids, be careful in channel surfing because you know what are the'shows' that are being shown in PPV. It may be a little early for them to watch. ;P
Thats it!
Gigabit Switch for US$3.00 AR
Well how about that!?!
I am talking about this, Airlink AGIGA8SW-B. Just got one and all I can say is it is good for the price, After rebate that is. Actually the whole cost is about 50 bucks including S&H. But after the rebate the cost drops down to about 10 bucks. The shipping and handling is not free though that why it is not 'exactly' 3 bucks.
I am not promoting in any way this product or seller, I am just sharing this info for other people to save some green.
This switch performs as it should and no driver to be installed. All you got to have is an extra ethernet cable since it is not included in the deal.
Pros:
- Supports jumbo frame
- quiet operation
- cheap (You have to get the rebate though)
- good LED indications
Cons:
- gets a little warm
- bulky power adaptor
- not that elegant looking (who's going to stare anyway, mine is inside the closet)
Other info you can find here.

All in one email client
How many email accounts do you have?
Two, three, four maybe more and from different popular free internet email providers.
How do you access each of them?
Surf the different websites then login, one account after another...
I have an easier way of doing it. It just takes a little bit of reading the FAQ and help files on setting and configuring it up.
In the scale of difficulty in doing it, I say three with five as the hardest.
So here it goes =====
Have you read about "Thunderbird"?
This is an email client software and the good news is it is FREE. Thanks to the guys in Mozilla for their hardwork in developing this. All you got to do is download the software and install it. Then register your POP accounts and voila! You can read your email in one client.
Now, I said that this is all in one. What I meant by that is that you can read email and news, not to mention RSS as well. Now, to get email from non POP email providers like Yahoo and Hotmail and other web based emails, you need to load this Webmail add-on. Also download the specific provider add-on.
With the case of Gmail and AOL related service, you dont need the add-on. Thunderbird can fetch your emails right from its configuration settings. Same as true with Netscape email.
You need to load the extension for Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to fetch your email.
Heres the steps I did:
1. Download and install Mozilla Thunderbird.
2. Download the Webmail add-on.
3. Download your specific email provider add-on.
4. open thunderbird and load the Webmail add-on by selecting tools > add-ons
5. Click install, select the saved webmail file.
6. Restart thunderbird
7. Load your email provider extension by selecting tools > add-ons > install
8. Restart thunderbird, repeat procedure for each different email provider listed.
9 Configure you email account, refer to your email account and server settings.
10 Make sure the webmail service add-on is running and you account is properly defined.
Some limitations are there like if your email service provider is not (yet)supported, for corporate emails as an example. I do not have corporate email account so I cant comment on that aspect.
I compared Thunderbird with Outlook in terms of memory usage. Thunderbird uses smaller memory resource, 65 MB as compared to the latters > 100MB. Thats a few chunks spare for use of other programs/services.
Thats it! You can read all (if not, most) of your emails from the free popular internet email providers around.
PS I may have missed some more specific item, all you need to do is read the help file or the FAQs.
Have fun and safe computing!
