Airbus A340 hits a wall

Etihad was to receive their next A340 this week, but it seems that delivery may be delayed. While running an engine test at the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France, the A340-600 jumped the chocks and headed for the blast wall. The good news is the blast wall held up remarkably well. The bad news is the Airbus did not.

Kaballah Camilla

Camilla has religiously worn the woven adornment on her right hand throughout her tour of Uganda. She may have the Royal Family's priceless collection of jewellery at her disposal, but the Duchess of Cornwall appears wedded to a simple red and woven bracelet on the wrist.

A Clarence House spokeswoman said that the Duchess had been given the bracelet when she attended the Diwali celebrations at the Shri Swaminarayan Mondir Temple in London on November 9 - and had worn it ever since.
Camilla and her husband had attended the Hindu place of worship to celebrate the traditional "Festival of Light".
"She just really likes it," they said.

Use a Keyboard to Move the Mouse

Microsoft includes a feature in Windows that many people would love to use … if they knew about it. It’s the ability to completely control your mouse using only the keyboard, but since it is buried in the Accessibility Options a lot of people never know it’s there.
The feature is called MouseKeys, and once enabled you’ll be able to fully control your mouse using the number pad on your keyboard. One of the reasons that I use this from time to time is to move the mouse more precisely, which is extremely handy when doing graphics work.
So how do you enable the feature? Here are the steps needed for both Vista and XP…

Vista:
Open up the Control Panel and type MouseKeys into the search box. Click on the option that says Move the pointer with the keypad using MouseKeys.
Check the corresponding box to turn on MouseKeys. For more advanced options (pictured to the right) you can click the Set up MouseKeys located underneath the checkbox.
XP:
Open the Control Panel, and click Accessibility Options.
Select the Mouse tab, and check the Use MouseKeys box to turn the feature on. For more advanced options you can click Settings

layers of art paint

This is an extreme closeup scan (2400 dpi) of a paint chip retrieved from the ruins of Belmont Art Park by Amy McKenzie earlier this year. The fragment is about 1cm thick, and appears to consist of about 150-200 layers of paint. (For a sense of scale, note the ridges of my fingerprint in the lower right.) This should give you an idea of the staggering number of pieces painted in this spot.The park used to be surrounded by one long wall covered with artwork, but that wall was illegally demolished by real estate developers earlier this year. over the decades.
