Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Lyric:
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family.
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanitys and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
I like one big family (2nd time: I like happy family)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love
I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours

Kylie Minogue - In My Arms
Lyric:
How do you describe a feeling? I’ve only ever dreamt of this.
Oh!
DJ’s spinning up my favorite song, hurry up and get a grove on.
Light fantastic and it wont be long, don’t let the moment slip away.
Cause you and I could find a pleasure, no one else has ever known.
Feels like it is now or never, don’t want to be alone
Chorus
How does it feel in my arms? (x2)
Do you want it? Do you need it? Can you feel it? Tell me.
How does it feel in my arms?
Got a feeling this is something strong. All I wanna do is move on.
No more wondering where I belong. So never go away.
Cause you and I are guilty pleasure, no one else has ever known.
Feels like it is now or never. Don’t want to be alone.
Chorus
Do-do-do-do-do (x3)
Oh yeah yeah
Do-do-do-do-do (x3)
Oh yeah yeah
I’m listening.
How does it feel in my arms? (x3)
Yeah, Yeah.
Do you want it? Do you need it? Can you feel it? Tell me.
How does it feel in my arms.

Wake up on LAN in Linux system
The raw materials are raising higher, a PC running 24 hours that can be used to remote control wastes too much electricity. With WOLfeature, we can inform the computer up only when we want to use it.
1. OS dependent
My server is built up by Shuttle XPC sk22g, as I know, most WOL feature can be configured via BIOS. Indeed, I found a wake up feature for the PCI card, but I used the onboard LAN chip. After asking the consultant, they said no setting in the BIOS, the WOL feature should be set by the software in the OS.
I had multi-systems in the server, Debian and Windows XP, in XP I can enable the WOL easily by the LAN driver. Sending the magic packet to it can really trigger to system up. But whenever I switch to the Linux system and power off the system, magic packet won't take effect.
I know that there is also a similar way to configure the NIC. Indeed, there is a ethernet tool called ethtool that can do this. Enable the WOL by "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" Now, your system has the ability the process the magic packet.
2. How to send magic packet
There are many applications either on windows or UNIX.
Wakeonlan is a very easy-to-use program in Linux, compile it, then run this "wakeonlan -i your.domain.name 00:13:49:XX:YY:ZZ", "00:13:49:XX:YY:ZZ" is the MAC address of your PC you want to wake up.
3. The PC is behind a router
Your router must support the port forward feature, try to forward UDP packet in port 9 to the PC you want to wake up.
4. After shutdown, it still not works
Try to check the halt script if it try to disable the network interface.
Below is my halt script in /etc/init.d/halt
PCI0 5 enabled
USB0 1 disabled
USB1 1 disabled
USB2 1 disabled
USB3 1 disabled
USB4 1 disabled
USB5 1 disabled
USB6 1 disabled
USB7 1 disabled
LAN0 5 enabled
AC97 5 disabled
PEXG 5 disabled
PEX0 5 disabled
UAR1 5 disabled
PCI0 should be enabled if you use a ethernet card on PCI slot, LAN0 should be enabled if you use a on board LAN chip.
Add some lines in the /etc/rc.local to enable them
echo -n "PCI0" >> /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo -n "LAN0" >> /proc/acpi/wakeup

Virgin Travel Insurance's top ten must-see sights oversea
One of them is Taroko Gorge in Taiwan, a very beautiful place.
1. The Treasury at Petra, JordanSOURCE: easier travel
2. The Grand Canal, Venice, Italy
3. The Masai Mara, Kenya
4. Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia
5. Taroko Gorge, Taiwan (Taroko National Park)
Mornings start early at Taroko Gorge if you are to walk any of the trails before it becomes too hot and humid. The 2km-long Paiyang trail includes clambering through tunnels and a cave, which goes under and behind a waterfall, where it ‘rains’ inside. Bats squeal and reel above as you teeter along the narrow ledge trying not to fall into the deep water.

Bamboo bike
1. Bamboo is light, stiff, strong and an ideal material for bike construction.
2. The composite nature of bamboo gives it an enviable advantage over carbon for absorbing road shocks and vibrations.
3. Steel, aluminium and titanium frames all require high levels of energy to produce, from extraction to extrusion, before being suitable for bicycle manufacture. Carbon fibre also requires a lot of energy to produce in its controlled oxidation, carbonisation and graphitisation. The graphitisation process in particular is highly energy intensive, requiring temperatures of ~2600°C for high strength fibres or ~3000°C for high modulus (elastic) fibres.

The frame costs you 2595-2995 Euros on official website.

Entire world - Prison Population Rates per 100,000 of the national population
America has a high prison rate, it's a dangerous place to live? I don't know why the rate is so high compared to Japan, they both are highly developed countries. Maybe many immigrants in many races cause the conflicts but the US also gets many benefits from the talents from all over the world. It's a trade-off.

Motorized Tool Shed
In 1997 farmer George Shields from Derbyshire in England built a garden shed on wheels. He regularly took it for drives out of the back garden and down the road to the amazement of the locals. Shields originally built it to take a friend to church to get married.
A motorized shed with a top speed of 55 mph. He describes his shed as an agricultural vehicle... and hopes to raise money for charity with it.

How Much Sleep Do You Really Need?
Yes, we usually heard that 8 hours sleep is good for us. According to this article, people who sleep between 6.5 and 8 hours live longer. It also gives me a surprising result, sleep longer than 8 hours is worse than 5 hours.
Quote from TIME
Quote from TIME
Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hr. or more, or less than 6.5 hr., they don't live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hr. Sleeping 8.5 hr. might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hr..

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model: Premiere
An imaginary concept, usually the car is composed of the metal. I have no idea that any stuff that can stretch, recover and be hard enough to protect people inside the car?

At first glance it may look like any other car but covering the shell is a highly durable, expansion-resistant fabric stretched across the frame. The fabric is secured on a mesh of metal wires that can move, controlled by electro-hydraulics.
