Plasma TVs more apt for 3D

Original Source: http://www.eetindia.co.in/ART_8800624941_1800010_NT_854bfbb1.HTM?click_from=8800064281,8896822224,2010-11-04,EEIOL,ARTICLE_ALERT



Plasma TVs are a better fit for 3D images display vis-à-vis LCD sets, according to Consumer Reports study of 14 3D TV models. They found that the plasma TVs cause less ghosting, or double images that appear even when wearing 3D glasses.

Overall quality of 3D varied quite a bit among the 14 models, according to test engineers. They used 3D test patterns developed in-house, as well as 3D Blu-ray movies and recorded 3D sports broadcasts. All the 3D TVs were capable of creating impressive three-dimensional depth.

Panasonic plasma sets exhibited the least ghosting of any of the 3D TVs followed by plasma TVs from LG and Samsung.

By contrast, Sony's LCD TVs ghosting was minimal, but only when the viewer's head was kept level; ghosting became severe when the viewer's head was tilted even slightly. On the LG and Samsung LCD TVs, images had satisfying three-dimensional depth, but ghosting, which was significant in a wide variety of content, was distracting when apparent. All the tested 3D TVs, with one exception, performed very well with regular 2D programmes.

Consumer Reports found varying levels of comfort among different 3D glasses and warns users that some people might have trouble seeing 3D images or find that they develop headaches or eyestrain from watching 3D.

Vital C: The New Face of Vitamin C

By Alger Larsam M. Galace (The Freeman) Updated February 16, 2009 12:00 AM

Original Source from philSTAR.com: http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleid=440856

CEBU, Philippines - Vitamin C is one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century and still remains vital to human survival. Dr. Linus Pauling, twice awarded the Noble Prize and is known as the “Father of Vitamin C,” declared that daily intakes of vitamin C aid anti-cancer activity and assist in repairing damaged arteries and removing arterial plaque (atherosclerosis).

Vitamin C deficiency is the most common but unrecognized reason why people develop and have diseases. The works of the great scientists like Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Dr. Linus Pauling, Dr. Matthias Rath, Dr. Irvin Stone, Dr. Frederick Robert Klenner, Dr. Robert F. Cathcart, made the world recognize the real value of vitamin C in the pursuit of health. Higher doses of Vitamin C intake is encouraged in comparison to the present Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) and the historical Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA).

According to Dr. Matthias Rath, an associate of Dr. Pauling, animals don’t get heart attacks because they produce vitamin C in their bodies, which protects their blood vessel walls. Human, however, are among a few species that are unable to produce vitamin C, thus we are dependent on vitamin C present in food and in supplements.
One thing to remember though is that heat destroys vitamin C and any cooked meal has no vitamin C content.

Vital C, the new face of vitamin C, is the first alkaline vitamin C which is contained in real vegetable capsule. It is made from only 100 percent pure Sodium Ascorbate crystalline powder (USP) and encapsulated as a 568.18 mg preparation. It is processed with all the care to preserve the potency of this very effective form of vitamin C. It is non-acidic (alkaline) and is readily absorbed by the body because of its alkalinity. Its PH range is 7.5 to 7.8, You can take as much VITAL-C as you need without the negative effect of highly acidic vitamin C tablets like stomach cramps, bloating and intestinal irritation. VITAL-C is based on the original formula created by Dr. Linus Pauling in association with Dr. Alfred Libby. Vital C is also safe for babies and can be taken in mega doses for better health results.

Making Fractions Simple to Understand for Your Children

Early this morning, it came to my thought of creating a very simple, and yet a very useful blogsite dedicated for young children to help them learn the basic of mathematics in a very easy and convenient way.

Learning this basic things at the earliest stage of their lives would make it easier for them to deal with the higher level of mathematics, like Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and even Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Differential Equation, and other subjects that needs these skills.

Looking back on my own experience, even if I was already in my first year college, I had difficulties in dealing with simple and yet useful basic principles in mathematics. As a result, I couldn't be able to overtake those who had the solid foundation of the basic principles in mathematics.

When I had finally learned it, and that was after I finished my Engineering course for five years, I had realized that, should I had all those needed simple things as solid foundation, then I wouldn't have any difficulty in dealing with the higher level of mathematics.

So, in this planned blogsite for young children, I will reveal the basic principles that young children should learn by their heart and mind in order to make their lives easier when they are already in high school and in college, or even higher education levels.

I would like to encourage parents to examine this future blogsite dedicated for their young children to help them on their mathematical developments. Also, I would like to encourage those teachers and other experts to contribute their knowledge and experience to this area to help achieve the goal of this site.

Thank you very much.


Hope to be in touch with again shortly.

God bless!

Novel Concept That Gives Parent Peace of Mind While Their Chilren Are at School

It's a novel idea from the Marikina Catholic School in the Philippines to give parents some peace of mind while their children are at school.

It's a very good and useful technology that will inform parents through text messages the status of their children: time of their arrival at the school, time they left the school and even the status of the school activities whether or not their class sessions are cancelled.

Surely, with this method of monitoring children will attract more parents and consider sending their children to the Marikina Catholic School.

How I wish all schools and universities will implement this same technology to address those common concerns parent have for their children.

Which is Better, iPhone or Blackberry?

Without a proper knowledge of the thing we want to buy, oftentimes, we ended up buying the better, but not the right thing.
If you want to find out which is better, iPhone or Blackberry, then below is the summary of the comments from those people who have a good experience to at least one of it.

One guy said, “iPhone is nothing more than a nonsense since it lacks even the basic features. Blackberry is also over priced useless device which is only meant for emailing nothing more.” He suggested that “if you are a professional go for a Blackberry ignoring its ridiculous price, not as ridiculous as iphone though.”

Another guy had totally disagreed the above comments and gave his own by providing one of the very many uses of iPhone as follows: “Say you want to ring a store - on the iPone you can look up their internet site, if that contains their telephone number you just tap it with your finger. The phone asks you if you want to ring that number and then will do that for you automatically.”

A lady, an initiator of this topic conversations said that she had both and found the iPhone really easy to use for almost everything. However, she also said “It's not great for email management when you have hundreds of emails to sort, but it is great for moderate email use. Battery is terrible though! ...I still love my iPhone though!”

The second guy made a second comment saying that he loves iPhone, too. He further said “My battery is fine at home, but train trips to London and back (2hrs each way) seem to use quite a lot of battery - I guess that it may be because it is searching for networks for quite a lot of that time.”

A third guy, who doesn’t have an iPhone, but have been looking into it as well as the Droid, gave his opinion saying, “the Blackberry is getting passed by very quickly. It is still hands down the best for email, but business these days is much more than email. They don't have many apps, I have to pull out the battery to reboot several times a day, the browser is pretty much non-existent, and you have to have a BES if you want to sync to your Exchange server. It has become too costly and way behind the times.”

A fourth guy said “Blackberry remains the best choice for email and ranks superior for phone reliability. Granted, iPhone dazzles with more applications and some are actually useful for long-term use, rather a once or twice novelty. He said further “my Blackberry offers the same search features for businesses, etc. and automatic dialing. I hit the track ball, however, rather than using a touch screen.

Interestingly, cell phone use for actual voice calls (what a concept) trails data usage 49 percent to 37 percent according to a recent study. Mobile internet use caused a dramatic shift in consumers "need" to have constant connection.

Since email management and reliable phone service rank high with me, I'll stick with my Blackberry until something beats it.”

The fifth and the last guy said “I have had a Blackberry, then an iPhone and now a Droid, Blackberry was far better for business related applications and uses, My IPhone was not as business friendly and drop calls all the time with a very short battery life. I have only had the droid for a little over a week and am still getting used to it but I do have some pros and cons on it already. So it comes down to what you are looking for.”

And my comment is, when it comes to battery life, “More applications mean more power consumption. So, don't wonder why battery life is very short.”

But if you look at the summary of the Smart Phones Comparisons from Anything For Your Convenience, you will also find the good insight for this topic which had undergone an extensive research by the Digital Trend.

With all the information and backgrounds above, hope you can now decide which smart phone you are going to consider buying: iPhones or Blackberry.

Good luck!

Smart Phones Comparisons

Below is the excerpt from the report from Digital Trends on its Aple iPhone 4 vs. Samsung Captivate vs. Evo 4G article.

To see which smartphone delivers the best shot for $200 U.S., Digital Trends pits Apple’s iPhone 4 against iPhone 4 against Samsung’s Captivate and HTC’s Evo 4G.

Here's below the summary of its report:

In terms of display, Apple iPhone 4 is the winner.

The screens on all three phones equate to big, bigger and biggest, with 3.5 inches on the iPhone, 4.0 on the Captivate and 4.3 on the Evo 4G. So how does the smallest one win? Find out the details here: http://shopping.yahoo.com/articles/yshoppingarticles/410/apple-iphone-4-vs-samsung-captivate-vs-evo-4g/

In regards to connectivity, Evo 4G is the winner.

With both the Captivate and iPhone 4 sharing AT&T’s infamously hobbled 3G network, and the Evo wearing its first-4G-phone-in-America pin, this one’s a no-brainer. Besides the sheer speed, it’s also the only one that can double as a Wi-Fi router to share connectivity with other devices.

For the Rear Camera, Apple iPhone 4 is again the winner.

The 8-megapixel camera on the Evo 4G has more resolution than both the 5-megapixel iPhone 4 and 5-megapixel Captivate, and more manual search controls, too. But that’s only one part of the story. The iPhone 4 takes better pictures than either competitor.

For Videoconferencing application, iPhone 4 is the winner.

Front-facing cameras still remain a novelty in the smartphone world, but both the iPhone 4 and HTC Evo 4G offer them, while the Captivate owners are left out in the cold. At a technical level, the Evo 4G yet again offers more resolution: 1.3 megapixels to just 0.3 megapixels (VGA resolution) on the iPhone 4. But as we’ve learned from the previous category, that number isn’t everything.

When Battery Life was compared, there is a draw between Apple iPhone 4 and Samsung Captivate.

HTC’s Evo 4G immediately gets booted from the running here. The same 4G speeds that give it killer connectivity also kill the battery in a hurry, leaving it first to run out of gas when these three phones hit the road.

Playing it by the numbers doesn’t lead to any clear-cut conclusion between the remaining contenders. Samsung rates the Captivate for five hours and 50 minutes of talk time and 340 hours of standby, while Apple rates the iPhone for seven hours of chatting and 300 hours of standby, making the Captivate the standby champ and iPhone 4 the king of talk time. While we’re inclined to favor talk time over standby, battery life seemed to play out roughly equally on these two in our real-life tests, so Digital Trends is calling it a draw.

To make the story short, the winner for Portability is Samsung Captivate it the winner, for Speed, there’s again a draw between Apple iPhone 4 and Samsung Captivate, for the storage, Samsung Captivate is the winner.

And the “Overall Winner” is the Apple iPhone 4!

The Evo 4G made an impressive showing as the very first 4G phone back in June, but as you can see, it doesn’t hold up nearly as well under the microscope in other categories – at least when stacked against the best other smartphones in the world. The real fight here is between the iPhone 4 and Samsung Captivate.

VITAL C: Non-Acidic Vitamin C

For more than 10 months already, with God’s blessings and protection, none of our children was hospitalized because of the common children sicknesses (colds, coughs, allergies, etc.) which are normally part of children’s life as they’re growing up.

Unlike before, since the beginning of their lives, until the middle parts of last year, it’s normal for us to bring anyone of them or sometimes all of them to the hospital because of any of those common children’s sicknesses.

This very good development of their health was helped mainly by God’s blessings and protections. We are also taking a new kind of Vitamin C (non-acidic) – an alkaline Vitamin C, called Vital C.

In our closed observation, this Vital C really helped us a lot. When anyone of us already felt something which we knew that cough or cold is coming, we just double or even triple the dosage and then in the next day, everything is okay.

My own experience was when we were in the middle of our 3 days and four night holiday in Rayong, Thailand, I was already sneezing and coughing. I was so worried because it’s normal for us that if one is sick, then everybody will then be sickened few days later. Luckily that time, in the following day, I was very healthy again. What I did was just take one capsule every two hours. So, within 24 hours, I had consumed 12 capsules at 500 mg each capsule.

I am sharing this experience hoping that it would also help your family.

If you have any questions regarding this Vital C, then just leave your comment below. I will answer you within 24 hours.

Please, see the short video here:

CFC General Assembly at AIT

These are some of the pictures we had taken after our CFC general assembly held at AIT today.

Right after the talk about Financial Stewardships at around 4 P.M., all of us had partaken a very heavy and delicious meal - an early dinner- near the session hall at the AIT center, beside the swimming pool during the fellowship part of the activity.

While waiting for the next special event of the day "the 25th Happy Wedding Anniversary of our CFC brother Vic and his wife, sister Emily", we were resting and taking pictures at the lobby of the AIT center.

At 6:00 P.M., Art and Laarni, our previous household leaders, together with their son Vince, brought us to Pinehurst Golf Club Restaurant where the said special occasion was held.

Somaliland (Somalia) Business Trip

This was my first trip in the African continent in 2008. This is in the Hargiesa, Somaliland - the breakaway region of Somalia.

I went there, together with our two engineers who installed the broadcast equipments, to meet our first African broadcast client in the country.

My other purpose was to close another deal for another broadcast client I had communicated with about two months before the trip.

Seeing the lack of manpower we had, I helped out our engineers in the installation as you can see in the second picture.

It was my first real experience in the technical things about the actual installation of broadcast parabolic antenna. Though I had lectured it many times during my more than 12 years in the academe, the excitement about this was still there.

I was supposed to comeback there in 2009 for our government broadcast client, but because of some urgent matters, I cancelled my scheduled trip.

The last picture shows my team and the staffs of our client. It was after 10 days when the installation was done and the trainings for the staffs were completed.

We then had our very big lunch with all the staffs of our client at the hotel where we stayed before going back to Bangkok, Thailand. It was our way of saying thank you to all of them for receiving us warmly, and for becoming our first customer in that region.

With God's blessings and protections, we're able to come back safe and sound.

Danger of Standalone ATM Machines

Today, the bad guys have used so many types of attacks on ATM machines, especially those that are standalone ATM machines, ranging from sophisticated to foolhardy: installing fake card readers to steal card numbers, hiding tiny surveillance cameras to capture PIN codes, covering the dispensing slot to intercept money and even hauling the ATMs away with trucks in hopes of cracking them open later.

The attacks were demonstrated Wednesday by a computer hacker, Barnaby Jack who spent two years tinkering in his Silicon Valley apartment with ATMs he bought online.

Though the demonstrations were targeting standalone ATMs, but according to him, the methods could potentially be used against the ATMs operated by mainstream banks.

Jack said the problem is that outsiders are permitted to bypass the need for a password.

Charice Botox Consultation

The revelation that Charice Penpengco had undergone a few cosmetic procedures (Botox injections and a Thermage - skin tightening procedure) in preparation for her role on Glee had generated critism not only in the Philippines, but all around the world.

Whatever her real motives are for doing all this, for me, it doesn't matter. My only concern is she might no longer be able to reach her greatest potential due to this unnecessary thing. She is unique - everything in her is unique: her voice, her aura, her face, etc. Modifying any of these God's given gifts, might affect her singing abilities. That's the thing I am worrying more about for her.

The Macau of the Philippines

Many tourists came to the Philippines looking for the Macau-like experience located somewhere in the heart of the city of Cebu, similar to the ones illustrated in the pictures.

Some of these tourists thought that Cebu is another country. Anyway, these pictures were taken at the rooftop of the Cebu city's Crown Regency Hotel. This edge coaster could be tilted at any angle you want at your finger tips. It's one way of testing your fear. If it's your inclination to have this kind of experience, then it's worth trying. You have to sign a weaver before allowing you to set in on one of these edge coasters.

A tourist guide will take your photos all the way from the starting point till the end. You are not allowed to take some by yourself, and I had agreed with this, for the one in-charged is very well aware of the best background sceneries.

There are beautiful sceneries in the ocean views of the city and there are also lots at the mountain views. However, I just selected one of the mountain views for this posts. According to my setmate,
there's another unique beauty all around the city during the night. But I missed this opportunity because of the time constraint. I was just three hours away of my scheduled flight back to Thailand.

The best thing about the building where this edge coaster is in placed is it's strategic location. It's 45 minutes to 1 hour drive from
the airport. It's another excellent business of the owner of the Vital C business that I had joined in late last year.

The set up is similar to Bayoke tower here in Thailand. People has to pay a reasonable amount of money in order to be allowed to go up to the top to enjoy the ride. You will get one glass of juice for a drink after the ride.
This last picture shows the mountain where the van will be passing through everythime I went to my home town in Asturias.

It would take only 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the weather condition, to reach my place. About 12 years ago, I used to travel this far for about three hours, or more depending not only on the distance, but also on the traffic when already closed to the city.

Selling Structured Settlements

There lots of good reasons why some people need a large amount of money immediately, instead of the smaller amounts at a certain period of time in their lives. Some of them want to go to college, or buy a house, or buy a new car, or putting some kind of business that needs a very huge capital, or have another good reason for needing some, or all, of their settlement money up front.

If you are one of them, or know somebody who has this kind of needs, then this is a good time for you to consult the companies who purchase structured settlements.

How does it work?

Companies that purchase structured settlements will buy structured settlements out of your future payments in exchange for advancing you money at any time now, minus their fee. These companies can provide the needed amount in a lump sum, far more than your monthly allotment, if that is what you need to do, instead of staying on the monthly or yearly plan that your structured settlement sets forth.

If you need some more details about this subject, then please, explore this very good article from this link: http://ezinearticles.com/?Purchase-Structured-Settlements&id=2750607

Thank you very much.

Good luck!

Charice Dream Come True Concert - Siam Discovery, Bangkok, Thailand

Charice Pempengco's Dream Come True Concert today, July 23, 2010 at Siam Discovery, Bangkok, Thailand had drawn a very huge and spectacular crowds.

I really appreciate how Charice marketing team's effort to promote the concert. I couldn't believe how they were able to gather such a very huge crowd in this non-English speaking country.

However, it could not be denied that Charice really has something people would like to witness face-to-face. I was very surprised how Thais reacted to her amazing singing performances. Seeing it from any Filipino reactions is just natural for one thing, we already knew her very well because of her background and how she was discovered.

However, seeing Thais crying while she was performing was really very touching . It's unbelievable in this Buddhist country. I couldn't read their minds and answer the question why? In my opinion, it's no longer something physical, but it's rather something inside which doesn't separate anyone from anybody else wherever she is or he is from. It's definitely something spiritual.

Surely, this concert will have a very huge and positive impact not only to the Filipinos here in Thailand but also to the Thais and all the young people around the world, especially to those who are aspiring to excel into this kind of talent.

After performing few songs, I could see how happy and joyful the crowds were. When I asked one guy in my front how popular Charice is in Thailand, he answered " Very... very... very... popular!" Hearing this, once again, I became so proud being a Filipino.

With this initial response of the Thais for Charice, I am very sure that her coming concert here in Bangkok, Thailand this October, 2010 would really draws much bigger crowds than this. Hopefully, by that time, there would be no other big events like what happened just few months back.
My whole family here in Thailand is a loyal fans of Charice. We always watched her performances in other countries, like in the USA via Youtube videos.

I am not familiar with one of the songs she had sang today, but amazing, Thais were so familiar with it. It just proved what the other guy had just told me how popular Charice is in this country.

One song I have noticed that Thais like very much is the one called "Pyramid." They joined Charice in singing the song and they even enjoyed waving there hands while doing it. Though I could not get all the lyrics, I liked the song, too.
It reminds me of my trip to Egypt last year. In honor to that song, I have included two of my many photos below showing how beautiful the pyramids really are.

It's the second Wonders of the World I had visited so far.

If it's one of Charice's composition, then I would assume that she had visited Egypt as well.

It's really very inspiring, especially if you had a good background about the World History, telling us about the pyramid. Anyway, no matter what, whatever inspired the composer about the Pyramid song, it's really great and inspiring.
Surely, it tells us something, encouraging and inspiring. I have to find myself the lyrics and see what's in it. I am just curious of how the Thais and Filipinos are responding to it naturally.

I said naturally, because even myself who hadn't heard it yet, I have a natural response to it and had good feeling with it. It makes everyone dance or more their bodies as Charice sang it beautifully. The sad thing is, people found the concert very short. Hope next time, during her next concert here in Bangkok, Thailand about two months from now, would be at least a little longer.
We are looking forward to it, and we'll pray that Charice would be healthy that time, and Thailand would be peaceful.

Let's pray to God for her, her family, her team and all the organizers to realize this event once again in this amazingly beautiful Kingdom of Thailand.

SUPER SAVERS FAMILIES

There’s a great article written by Donna Rosato last Monday, July 19, 2010 which I had just read today at the Yahoo News giving us excellent ideas why some families have saved money earlier, how they did it and what are the outcomes.

For some, the main motivation for saving earlier is to retire early at the age of 50, 55 or 60 and do whatever they want without any problem about money.

Considered super-saver family is saving 50% of after-tax income from their combined yearly earnings. The husband who is now 50 years old who had retired 10 years ago and his wife, now 52 years old and will retire in six years had projected to have $2.5 million retirement nest egg by that time.

The key to their success is avoidance of debts. Their aggressive savings had started when they were still dating and now the couple has one 15-year old daughter.

Next in rank super-savers couple, also have only one 11-year old child saving 35% of their yearly net income.

They trimmed the grocery budget for five months to find the cash they need to buy something. It’s surely involves a lot of sacrifices.

Though both are good in waiting, the key is the wife is known as the master of the long wait. According to the author, it's the couples’ ability to curb impulse buys that has fueled the family's savings.

The third super saver who prefers to be called smart saver is earning an extra $25,000 a year income apart from her regular six-figure income. She is saving 20% to 25% each year. Her motivation is to retire at the age of 55.

Another inspiring family who has two children with more than $250,000 combined income a year is saving 60%. Their motto is to “leave below your means.”

Finally, the last inspiring super-saver couple has three children, with the wife just stays home to take care of the kids and yet, the family is saving 40% of the family’s income.

Their advice is “Cut down everyday expenses.”

Egyptian Sphinx

These are just some of the many pictures I had taken during my trip to one of the Wonders of the World located in one of the Biblical and historical parts of the world called Egypt.

It's so amazing seeing and walking on the land which before was just on the deepest parts of my imaginations while listening attentively to our World History teacher telling us the role of Egypt during the ancient times.
When I had finally decided to read my Bible as an indication of my commitment to my covenant to God as witnessed by the Couples For Christ (CFC), God had blessed me by giving me an opportunity to walk on the land His chosen people had walked, during the time of Moses, especially during their exodus out of Egypt crossing safely on the dryland of the Red Sea when it was divided through God's intervention and destroying those huge number of Egyptians running after them to destroy them all.
Since God was so faithful to the covenant He had establisehd with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, so He saved Israelites during this very difficult and dangerous moment of their lives.

In a similar way, on these third and fourth pictures, I was also in a great danger through the old guy who was at first, so kind to me and offering to take me some pictures while holding his camel. At first, I was hesitating, but later on, out of my pitty, I had agreed and then he asked me to set on his camel to have some picture with it. Again, initially I strongly said "no thanks" for I had sensed something, and he insisted and this time I was so scared so I had given up to his request.
When I got down from his camel he asked me for money. I had some Egyptian money on my pocket and I handed it to him and he declined it because he wanted an American money.

I became so angry and at the same time was so scared because many of his friends came forward and insisted that I should give his request, but I said again, "no I have only this. If you take it, it's fine, if not then it's up to you for I have to leave now." Finally, the old guy accepted it and was very frustrated.

In my mind while dealing with the situation, I was praying so hard that God would save me, and at last, thanks to my God, He really did.

I could imagine how Moses and the Israelites had felt during that time when the Egyptians were almost catching them. The same God Who saved them had saved me too.

I praise and thank you Lord, my God.

Best Luxury Car

This first picture is the $197,850 Aston Martin Rapide which received the multiple nominations from the world’s best luxury-car experts that includes Manhattan Automobile Company's Gary Flom; Tamara Warren, a longtime automotive journalist and creator of the car and design blog Go Tryke; Mike Caudill, the automotive analyst for Driven Media; and Noah Lehmann-Haupt, CEO of Gotham Dream Cars.

Its "swan-wing" doors (they open up and out at a 12-degree angle, for ease of egress), low roofline and 20" rims expertly give a sporty edge to an otherwise elegant four-door sedan.

Another four-door winner (second picture), but with a more staid bearing, is Bentley's new flagship, the $285,000 Mulsanne, a model that was inspired by the company founder W.O. Bentley's "crowning achievement," according to Bentley: an 8-liter coach first shown at the 1930 London Motor Show.

The $113,000 XJL Supersport (third picture)is just one of 10 cars in list (http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1475/the-worlds-most-beautiful-cars/) of this year's most beautiful cars.

Others, like the $240,000 Ferrari 458 Italia (fourth picture) and $183,000 Mercedes SLS AMG (fifth picture), are much more sporty than Jag's large sedan--but they all have its own unique appeal that's very tempting.

To see the rest of the pictures of the 10 most beautiful cars in 2010, just explore this link: http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1475/the-worlds-most-beautiful-cars/

Luxury Villa

This is one of the other beautiful luxury villas in Thailand I had seen through the Internet.

Our children loved this so much and wished to have this kind of luxury villa of their own someday when they have already grown ups.

I told them that nothing is impossible if you pray hard and work for it, and believe you can. I reminded them of the well-known saying "Whatever the mind of a man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
