RIP: James Kim, CNET Editor

noreply@blogger.com (zhexiang) — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 17:32:00 +0000

James Kim, CNET Senior Editor
1971 - 2006

The body of CNET editor James Kim was found after an extensive search, authorities said Wednesday.

Kim had been lost in remote Oregon wilderness for 11 days after he, his wife Kati, and daughters Penelope and Sabine were lost driving across the state.

According to reports, Kim left the family's Saab car mired in snow and began hiking cross-country, looking for help. The family had left the car's engine running to heat the interior, and the family later burned the car's tires for heat. Kim left pieces of clothing and scraps as a map as a trail for rescuers, who organized a private and public search effort that included state and federal agencies. An effort was also mounted by Kim's family, who hired a helicopter and dropped care packages in the hopes of finding Kim alive.

Kim's wife and daughters were rescued on Monday afternoon.
CNET has dedicated a tribute page to the deceased editor, who also was known as a San Francisco businessman, owning two retail stores in San Francisco with his wife.

A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

Buy "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Now!

Recently I watched this cartoon in VHS and I found out that I really love it. No matter how childish the cartoon, it's quite entertaning, even though I'm already 23-year-old.

A Charlie Brown Christmas tells a story of Charlie Brown who felt depressed on Chirstmas Day, because nobody likes him and the feastive season is too commercialising.

To cheer him up, Lucy suggest that he be their Director for a Christmas play. Charlie Brown accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle.

When an attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir Christmas tree fails, Linus recite his line from the play, on the birth of Jesus, reminding everyone what the real meaning of Christmas is.

The storyline is very compelling and it awes you the most.

Buy Now!

I saw this new album from the Beatles, called "Love". There are many people who rush to buy the album.

The album is produced by Sir George Martin, the original producer and his son, Giles Martin. They have been working on this project for three years. Using archives and master tapes at the Abbey Road studios in London originally used by The Beatles, they put together songs by a complex mixture of overlaying, dubbing and synchronizing to produce sometimes startlingly new compositions.

There are several tracks that mix two or more songs together. For example: "Penny Lane" with "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Blackbird" with "Yesterday", "Get Back" with "Glass Onion", etc.
You can buy "Love" album the original edition ($12.97) or Special Edition that has both CD and Audio DVD ($19.88).

Consider Safety when Decorating for the Holidays

noreply@blogger.com (zhexiang) — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 11:22:00 +0000

'Tis the Season to Be Safe

(NewsUSA) - Holiday decorations give your home just the right festive touch, but they also pose a fire hazard.

"Unless you deck your tree, halls and walls safely, the season could be memorable for the wrong reasons," said John Drengenberg, manager of consumer affairs at Underwriters Laboratories Inc., a not-for-profit product safety testing and certification organization.

Each year, hospital emergency rooms treat about 12,500 people for injuries related to holiday lights, decorations and Christmas trees. Christmas trees are involved in about 360 fires annually, resulting in 15 deaths, 44 injuries and an average of more than $16.4 million in property damage.

"The leading factor in fires involving Christmas trees, both live and artificial, is placement too close to a heat source," said Judy Comoletti, assistant vice president for public education at the National Fire Protection Association.

UL and the NFPA offer the following safety tips when decorating for the holidays:

* Check your tree for fresh, green needles. Trees that have dried out over several weeks pose a greater fire hazard.

* Keep your tree watered at all times. The tree stand should hold at least 1 gallon of water.

* If you purchase an artificial tree, choose one that is flame-retardant.

* Keep your tree at least 3 feet from fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, heating vents and other sources of heat; don't place the tree where it blocks an exit.

* Use lights and decorations that bear the UL Mark, which means samples of the product have been tested for safety. Light strings with UL's green holographic label are for indoor use only; lights with UL's red holographic label are for either indoor or outdoor use.

* Inspect every electrical decoration before plugging it in. Cracked sockets; frayed, loose or bare wires; and loose connections may cause electric shock or start a fire.

* Check your light strings and packaging to determine the maximum number of strings that may be strung together.

* Don't hang lights with staples or nails that can damage the cord's wire insulation. Use plastic hooks designed for hanging light strings.

* Turn off all electrical light strings and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.

* Keep your Christmas tree no longer than four weeks and take down holiday lights after 90 days of use.

Die-hard gamers and entrepreneurs shelled out $500 or more for Sony's PlayStation 3 as the console made its U.S. debut early Friday.

With Sony promising only 400,000 systems for the nationwide launch, the chance of disappointment was high. Many had camped out for days without knowing if they'd be going home empty-handed. While retailers tried to keep expectations low, lines snaked around the block at many stores — even those that weren't going to begin sales until later Friday.

In Palmdale, Calif., authorities shut down a Super Wal-Mart after some shoppers got rowdy late Wednesday. In West Bend, Wis., a 19-year-old man ran into a pole and struck his head racing with 50 others for one of 10 spots outside a Wal-Mart.

Otherwise, many other stores reported calm.

At a Best Buy in Boston with 140 machines for sale, employees simply gave out tickets for the first 140 in line.

At San Francisco's Sony Metreon mall, a "sacred scroll" notebook kept track of the first 505 people in line so they could go to the bathroom or pick up food without losing their spots. Some got wristbands guaranteeing a unit.

There was even a vibrant economy in Mount Laurel, N.J. Restaurants not only delivered pizza and wings, but also dispatched workers to hand out menus. The Dick's Sporting Goods store nearby sold camp chairs and more than a few tents.

Even as retailers drummed up publicity by throwing parties and inviting celebrities, Best Buy Co. Inc., Circuit City Stores Inc. and others warned customers all week that supplies would be tight.

Wal-Mart and Christmas Sales

noreply@blogger.com (zhexiang) — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 00:26:00 +0000

Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, announced its fourth price-slashing move since mid-October and said that it would have its most aggressive discounting ever this holiday season. Its rival, Target, vowed price cuts, too.

Wal-Mart’s assertive discounting is expected to pressure other retailers to match the cuts, a move that would erode profit margins, though it would save customers money.

And I say, good for the holiday shoppers, probably bad for the other small business retailers. I hope no one get serious hurt in their sales.

Tsunami Expected to Hit Northeastern Japan

noreply@blogger.com (zhexiang) — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 15:00:00 +0000

I just read this news, and it's very sad...

Tsunami is expected to hit Northern Japan after 8.1 magnitude earthquake. Japan's meteorological agency says an incoming tsunami will be at least 6 1/2 feet high and Pacific coast residents are advised to flee to higher ground.

It's very shocking and I pray that they'll all be safe. Christmas is about one month away, I hope it will be a joyful one this year and it won't be like Tsunami 2004.

Christmas is the day of the year where most Christians around the world celebrate the birth of their saviour Lord Jesus.
It is a day fill with laughter, joy, fun, carols, etc in the air. People exchange gifts, children build snowmen and play with sleidge, adults dine and wine.

Watching poeple celebrate Christmas from different regions of the world, you will come to understand that Christmas is also a day rich in customs and traditions.

For example, in Malaysia, faithful Catholic goes to church to pray, non Christians shop around and witness the tallest christmas tree in Times Square, Kuala Lumpur. Portugese settlement in Malacca celebrate the day with their tradition.

That's why Malaysia is multiracial that have multi-celebrations all year long. Merry Christmas!
