新的一年
明天終於要回去上班了, 整整兩個星期沒有去公司上班. 雖說是放假, 該做的工作還是要 remote 做完. 對這個假期已經計畫了一個多月, 但是結果也沒有去任何地方. 希望今年會有些有趣的工作… Side Note: Dangers of basement living often overlooked Homicides on rise in Seattle [img=images/images_seattlepi_20070102.gif popup=false] 照片出處: Seattle PI Medical Side Note: War trauma tied to heart attacks Drugs may make stents deadly, study says
EMP 和 SFM
Experience Music Project (EMP) 和 The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (SFM) 將加入偶爾免費的行列. 自 2007 年起, 每個月的第一個星期四, 下午五點至八點. 這兩個地方都會提供免費的入館參觀. 這可以省下一個人約 $27 的門票. 對這兩個地方”垂涎”很久的人, 千萬別錯過了.

Region Free DVD 播放器
幾年前, 為了買個 Multi-Region DVD 播放器, 必須花上百元, 如今這兩三年間, 這些 Region Free DVD 播放器可以很容易的在像 Wal-Mart, K-Mart 或 Best Buy 等地方買到. 而且這些 DVD 播放器絕大多數是沒有名聲的廠商. 這些默默無聞廠商們的 DVD 播放器也都非常的便宜. 一般約 $40 以下就可以買到. 比起以前動不動就要上百元實在是便宜太多了. 購買 Region Free DVD 播放器, 就可以觀看從世界各地的 DVD. 找 Region Free DVD 播放器, 只需要注意, 1. 盒子上沒有註明是給 Region 1 [img=images/dvd_region1.gif popup=false] 播放的標誌 2. 註明可以播放 NTSC 和 PAL 的 DVD 3. 影像輸出可以支援 NTSC 和 PAL 的電視系統 4. 當然這 DVD 播放器也必須可以播放 DVD, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, VCD 等等格式才行 Side Note: Report finds kids abusing medicine Holiday foods will take time to burn Major cities see a rise in murder rates Medical Side Note: Study says heartburn drugs can raise risk of hip fracture
還真的是慘…
Bellevue Community College 的 Continue Education 因暴風已經關了一星期了. 應該是明年才有重新開課了. 真不知道該如何補課. Eastside 真的是很嚴重. 看 MITBBS, 川霸王那一區到現在都還沒有電呢!
IF A TREE FALLS IN YOUR YARD
Cost of tree cleanup falls on homeowners
# Homeowners insurance typically covers damage to your home from wind and falling trees, removal of trees that have fallen on buildings and ruined personal property inside a damaged building. But it typically won't cover removal of trees that have fallen in your yard without damaging a building.
# Hire a tree service company that is licensed, bonded, insured and employs ISA-certified arborists. Find an arborist at the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture at pnwisa.org or through Plant Amnesty at 206-783-9813 or plantamnesty.org
# Beware of people who knock at your door offering to help you.
# Don't top trees. Topping trees can result in poor tree health.
# In King County, stumps, tree limbs and brush can be recycled at one of a number of commercial recycling processors. See metrokc.gov/dnrp/swd. Recycling may be less expensive than disposal.
# For advice on dealing with post-storm tree issues go to seattle.gov/transportation/afterthestorm.htm or king.wsu.edu/forestry/windstorm.html
