Im going to this island in a couple of weeks and i was wondering if anyone has been there and if so di they enjoy it. what things shouldnt be missed what to look out for i heard the jellyfish can be pretty bad any tips or information would be appreciatedIt's beautiful, one of the best of Japan's thousands of islands that I've visited :-D I didn't go swimming (I found either one beach was off limits as a type of Club Med style resort, one beach was too thick with seaweed and also deserted, so I didn't feel comfortable swimming with no potential help around in case of trouble). Usually you will arrive at the south western port of the island, Ishigaki-shi, which is nice, although I somehow completely lost my directional skills in thi...... - 2009-07-03
» Just a small suggestion - JPG compression for posted images
I know a lot of people are already familiar with using JPG, but I thought I would add this suggestion that if you are going to be saving a photograph for posting, that you use a quality level of at least 80%. The higher the compression, the more artifacts get introduced, and they often detract from the image. I'm so used to seeing them that they jump right out at me and can ruin an otherwise great shot. In the days of 2400 baud modems and limited disk space, small image file sizes were really important. Now, with dial-ups modems being more than 20x as fast, cable often being 1000x faster, and huge hard drives, I don't see much need for highly compressed JPGs, especially at the dimensions used for posting to the forum.agreed. I think esp...... - 2009-07-03
» UK: Avian flu found at smallholding
Avian flu found at smallholding Thursday, 7 June 2007 A low risk strain of bird flu has been discovered at a smallholding in St Helens in Merseyside. A restriction zone has been placed around the area following the positive tests for the disease. The animals involved had been bought from the market held in Chelford associated with the recent outbreak in north Wales. All the birds at the farm will be destroyed. This strain of the disease is not thought to be a risk to humans. Low pathogenic avian influenza typically causes little or no clinical symptoms in infected birds. It is classed as a low risk disease and is not thought to be a threat to human health. A restricted zone has been put in place extending 1k...... - 2009-07-03

» What % of the sun's light is actually reflected off of the moon (lets say a full moon)?
Around 7% is the 'traditional' answer. What a great question, btw. Many people just assume that any moon or planet reflects all of the light that falls on it. 'Albedo' is the technical word you're looking for. Google 'lunar albedo' and see what pops out.I'd go with 8% too. However, all the light is eventually emitted. It's just that most of it is absorbed, then emitted in infrared, where we can't see it. If the light was absorbed and never emitted, the Moon would eventually heat up, melt, and do other things that it clearly doesn't do. The Earth reflects much, much more. White fluffy clouds reflect more than asphalt. The average lunar albedo is 7.2%, but this varies, as th...... - 2009-07-03

Last season Little was a revalation, this season it sounds like he's fighting his own personal relegation (Stoke interested in a loan). I can only guess that Coppell hasn't been impressed with what Little has been showing during practice and reserve matches.

Docherty died on Thanksgiving at his home in central Pennsylvania, according to his wife, Sue Docherty. Docherty, then pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, just blocks from the White House, gave a sermon in 1952 saying the pledge should acknowledge God.

Hi, I've been reading around about filters. But I'm a little confusticated. (I use film, not digital) I sometimes notice a yellow cast to indoor photo's taken where incandescent light is present. I've found this about it. Standard light bulbs are much warmer than daylight, only about 2900 K for a 100-watt light bulb. In the film days, you would get a very pronounced yellow cast without a blue filter over the lens (Kodak says 80A + 82B). But why would I need two filters instead of one? Isn't there one filter that is good enough, or is this a "use filter x OR filter y" scenario that I'm just misreading? Also, while looking around for filters I found this...

I've just finished an appropriation of 'Christina's World' by Adrew Wyeth where the figure is slumped on the footpath of a street leading up to the distant house.

The idea is that in the original the figure is determined and doesn't want any help - her solitude is self-inflicted, but in mine, she is desperate and seeks inclusion - she has been outcast.

» What do you do?????????????
Before I started dating my husband I had been sexual active with several different guys. Ok so heres the question... When I see these guys and even when my husband is with me they make comments (of course my husband can't hear them bc he's walked off or something) like they want to do stuff with me. Even right before I got married an ex wanted to go out to dinner (hes married and has kids) should I tell my husband about this? Or should I just ignore the guys and drop it?What happened between you and your previous relationships before marriage is in the past. You don't need to tell your husband about it if you can tell these other men that you are now married and that they shouldn't be speaking in such a way to you any...... - 2009-07-03

Original owner of 2003 Hyundai Elantra w/ 81,000 miles on it, w/ 100,000 mile Power Train Warrantee still in effect. Was pulling away from a stop sign when it suddenly cut off & smoked- opening the hood revealed that the radiator overflow cap had flown off & radiator fluid had sprayed everywhere, & it wouldn't restart. So I had it towed. No lights had come on. It had been acting fine. Didn't think to look at the gage. But everyone said it sounded like it overheated. But still couldn't start it even the next day.

» Just a small suggestion - JPG compression for posted images
I know a lot of people are already familiar with using JPG, but I thought I would add this suggestion that if you are going to be saving a photograph for posting, that you use a quality level of at least 80%. The higher the compression, the more artifacts get introduced, and they often detract from the image. I'm so used to seeing them that they jump right out at me and can ruin an otherwise great shot.

» UK: Avian flu found at smallholding
Avian flu found at smallholding Thursday, 7 June 2007 A low risk strain of bird flu has been discovered at a smallholding in St Helens in Merseyside. A restriction zone has been placed around the area following the positive tests for the disease. The animals involved had been bought from the market held in Chelford associated with the recent outbreak in north Wales. All the birds at the farm will be destroyed. This strain of the disease is not thought to be a risk to humans. Low pathogenic avian influenza typically causes little or no clinical symptoms in infected birds. It is classed as a low risk disease and is not thought to be a threat to human health. A restricted zone has been put in place extending 1k...... - 2009-07-03

» What % of the sun's light is actually reflected off of the moon (lets say a full moon)?
Around 7% is the 'traditional' answer. What a great question, btw. Many people just assume that any moon or planet reflects all of the light that falls on it. 'Albedo' is the technical word you're looking for. Google 'lunar albedo' and see what pops out.I'd go with 8% too. However, all the light is eventually emitted. It's just that most of it is absorbed, then emitted in infrared, where we can't see it. If the light was absorbed and never emitted, the Moon would eventually heat up, melt, and do other things that it clearly doesn't do. The Earth reflects much, much more. White fluffy clouds reflect more than asphalt. The average lunar albedo is 7.2%, but this varies, as th...... - 2009-07-03

Last season Little was a revalation, this season it sounds like he's fighting his own personal relegation (Stoke interested in a loan). I can only guess that Coppell hasn't been impressed with what Little has been showing during practice and reserve matches.

Docherty died on Thanksgiving at his home in central Pennsylvania, according to his wife, Sue Docherty. Docherty, then pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, just blocks from the White House, gave a sermon in 1952 saying the pledge should acknowledge God.

Hi, I've been reading around about filters. But I'm a little confusticated. (I use film, not digital) I sometimes notice a yellow cast to indoor photo's taken where incandescent light is present. I've found this about it. Standard light bulbs are much warmer than daylight, only about 2900 K for a 100-watt light bulb. In the film days, you would get a very pronounced yellow cast without a blue filter over the lens (Kodak says 80A + 82B). But why would I need two filters instead of one?

Original owner of 2003 Hyundai Elantra w/ 81,000 miles on it, w/ 100,000 mile Power Train Warrantee still in effect. Was pulling away from a stop sign when it suddenly cut off & smoked- opening the hood revealed that the radiator overflow cap had flown off & radiator fluid had sprayed everywhere, & it wouldn't restart. So I had it towed. No lights had come on. It had been acting fine. Didn't think to look at the gage. But everyone said it sounded like it overheated. But still couldn't start it even the next day. The dealership's diagnosis was that the thermostat had stuck, so they replaced the thermostat, & the radiator overflow cap that had flown off, refilled the fluid of course, did a precautionary oil change to make ...... - 2009-07-03

So, do you take it or don't you? If you decide to take the aspirin will it be a fatal mistake or will you simply continue to suffer from the headache? This is a dilemma many people face in some way or another. A column published in Pyschopharmacology Today offers some advice.
