1st Try on Danica...

I found a very unique knitting scarf pattern the other day called "Danica scarf"
It uses a technique called "Entrelac", that it looks like two knitted bands are woven together but it's not!
The instruction says it's not that complicated, so I am making my 1st Danica scarf... and so far, I love how it looks

Hotmailバナー広告の削除方法

最近Hotmailの右側にバナー広告が出るようになり、
とっても迷惑
メールを読むスペースが狭い！
動画広告がうざったい！

今まで使っていたGreasemonkeyのスクリプト、
「Windows Live Ad Remover」
も、このサイドバナー広告には効かないよう

いろいろ探したところ、
やっぱり同じように悩んでいる人がいました。
今後Greasemonkeyのスクリプトが更新されるかもしれませんが、
とりあえず今のところは別の方法で対処↓

FireFoxのAdd-ons、「Stylish」をインストール。
「Ad Blocking FiltersetP」のスタイルをインストール。
インストールしたスタイルの編集画面を開き、
以下のスクリプトをラストに追加。


@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("mail.live.com") {

#MainContent {
margin-right: 0 !important;
right: 0 !important;
}

}


編集したスクリプトを保存。
これで広告がなくなり、元のように
メールが画面いっぱいに見れるように

こんなことが出来るのも、FireFoxならでは

ちなみにウェブの広告を削除するもう１つのアドオン、
「Adblock Plus」というのもありますが、
こちらは広告をダウンロードしないだけで、
広告の部分が空欄として残ってしまい、役に立たず。。。

KY

今週はずっとKY（ケンタッキー）出張。
それもミシガンから車で移動
うちの会社も今年は節約に努めています。
車業界はどこも厳しい

車で結局、8時間かかりました。。。
いくら飛行機代をうかせたいからって、
行き返りで2日間つぶれ、車で移動している間の
残業代とかを考えたら、あんまり節約にはなっていないのでは？？

Ice Sculpture Festival in Plymouth

It was one of the coldest night when we went to see the ice sculpture... but it was worth it

HAPPINESS IS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED

I saw the DVD "Into the Wild" and I got speechless after watching it. This is based on a true story, a story of a young man who abandoned his material-rich life and decided to live penniless in wild nature alone. He believed that's the only way he could get happiness. In a way, he got it. No fuss about a career, no worry about a house or security of life. Worked as needed and just LIVE in a moment. He was doing good until he came to Alaska. In the end, he got nothing to eat, hunting was unsuccessful, and he got poisoned by wild plants. As he was dying alone, he scribbled the following:

HAPPINESS IS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED

This was a moment of his realization. and mine too. I always believed happiness comes from within, or that's what I was taught from meditation teaching. They say the way to happiness is how we can connect with God (the source, the Universe etc). Meditation is a great tool to calm a self and certainly one of tools to attain "happiness". But when I saw his scribble, I knew he was telling the truth as well. This was a big wake-up call for me...
