Dear Lazyweb,
When you go to the DNA Lounge Webcasts page and click on the "Video Webcast" link, it pops up a chromeless window with the Justin.TV Flash embed in it.
I'd like to make it so that when you resize that window, the embed resizes with it.
This is what I tried. It works great in Safari, but in Firefox, the embed is always 100% wide and 1 pixel tall; and in Opera, it's always 100% wide but about 200 pixels tall.
Ideas?

Here is a Kundalini support page...
Everyone knows what Kundalini is though, right?
If you don't think you know *everything* about it, this is a great page.
It offers a great service and there is a beautifully rendered,
musical animated video on the process of the Kundalini Awakening.
This speaks about the mechanisms behind the publicly unrealized goal of evolution within the human condition.
If you want to increase your healing abilities, raise your resonance, etc.. this is also a great place.
If you are interested in becoming a reiki master but can not afford to do so, check it out.
If you think reiki sucks, oh, do please check this out because the activation offered here
is at least 300% more effective than traditional Usui Reiki. Level 1 is "master" level of Usui, plus THE FIRST ATTUNEMENT IS FREE!!! :)
I got my Kundalini Reiki attunements beyond level 3 (Gold reiki 1, 2, & 3 are also offered REMOTELY!)
seriously I felt lighter and more delicious than ever after all these attunements!!!
Not to mention, I am praised frequently for my ability to remove pain from others.

A Black Kite was chasing the Tawny Eagle. It was right over my head but the photograph isn’t good. A while later, I saw the Short-toed Snake Eagle Soaring too but it was too far.

- It's very simple: the movie would not take place.
- Why is that?
- Because Bruce Willis would save them all...
I had a bit of a caffeine withdrawal headache when I woke up. As soon as we got back from my blood letting, I gulped down a Dew, had a bite to eat and took a nap while Mr Moo took Oscar for his morning walk. I'm feeling loads better now so it's time to get started on my miles long list of things to do today. The most important item on the list is a trip to the grocery store for a turkey and other supplies for Thursday. Item #2 is taking the muttley to the dog wash for a bath before he stinks us right out of the house.

When I was young, the average school class consisted on 20 to 30 children...today, to send one's child to a school with that kind of student-teacher ratio, one must cough up a fortune.
Even where the system *tries* to be transparent, sheer numbers dictate cut-throat survival tactics....I was standing in the pre-paid auto queue at Chennai today, and was told by two or three auto drivers who approached me, that the queue would be long, autos would not be available, so would I like to take their autos...? Such blatant lying only means that the need to survive is a matter of great pressure.
The auto I got into went down a narrow lane...filled with stagnant water, and in extremely poor shape...I appreciate the pre-paid auto initiative, but the pathetic condition of the auto area made me feel very bad.
I will no longer travel by second class coaches; they have become crowded and the toilets stink...
My country seems to be sinking in the mire of its own inefficiency and corruption...

Barbershops, it turns out, are a great place to hear conversations between men.
It was crowded in the barbershop. There were five barbers. One was a woman; the rest were men. All the patrons were men--mainly grownups, but one guy with his five- and three-year-old sons.
A craggy guy whose long underwear showed through the worn knees of his jeans (just like my long underwear shows through the knees of my jeans--we are style buddies, he and I, and about the same age, it turns out) came and sat down next to the dad, and they talked, and I pretended to edit, but really I was listening. ( what I learned )

So instead i went to Ilsan where I had my 'Saturday breakfast' i.e. a bagel and mocha at Starbucks while reading the newspaper. I know, Starbucks. But to get the English paper I have to go to Ilsan, and to get food with my coffee and butter with my bagel there's only one place. The guy who sells his artwork on the sidewalk was still selling it, except in addition to the odd robot drawings he had a couple of celebrity portraits, like the pencil ones you can see in certain places in the States. I've no idea who any of them are, but there were details of style. One was a very young bleached-blonde guy done almost in line-drawing style, with a shirt in black and red. Seemed vaguely Nagel, and I had to remind myself I had nowhere to put it and it would be Hell to transport come moving time. Another one was a handsome guy in profile, the light making him seem sweetly mysterious, and a third was of a girl/woman with her eyes either shadowed or closed, hard to tell except they just weren't there and it was kind of pretty for that.
Went looking for the Skechers section of the mall to get some warm school slippers but they were gone. Little wonder--their new "Shape-ups" shoes suck.
"Twilight" is on TV right now--so much for the rental movie.
Went and talked flourescent highlights at the tattoo shop. More expensive and more extensive than I originally believed,. but I made it clear I was coming for quality so they dare not disappoint me. As before I gave San Lee a sketch and a concept and she ran with it--we'll see how it goes next Friday.
On the train back I looked out the window, not for the first time, and saw the traffic along the river. It was slow in all directions but moving and I got to think how nice it was I was on the train! I thought, it's not quite as bad as L.A....do I remember that well enough? and how to make sure I don't forget?...except that it's in all directions, not just one way on each highway, and not quite a parking lot. And then I remembered that it was a Saturday night, and what the Hollywood Freeway is like on a Saturday night, and that it's all not so different in that.
Meanwhile, sometimes the local (Seoul) paper reprints LA Times things, and this one made me LOL today: Golfing the DMZ...

Just on the way to the Manchinabele Dam ( view on map ), we stop looking for birds. Most of us are actually looking at the Barn Swallows which are sitting on the wires. Everybody is looking out for birds and suddenly there is lot of crow activity, the bird which birders hate the most. These crows are always found to be mobbing out other birds. Now this time it was the Spotted Owlet. The Spotted Owlets comes out of the tree horrified trying to escape from these characters. The crow doesn’t stop, it chases this owl again. At one point, the crow was so close to getting hold of the Owlet and we could see that horrified look on it.
Later, at the backwater we saw a Brahminy Kite chasing a Pied Kingfisher which was holding a fish in its beak. Now this Brahminy Kite was being chased by 2 other Wagtails. This was the ultimate chase. Later we saw the Brahminy kite feeding on the fish. This was very far off and in the pic below you can only see the blurred the Pied Kingfisher being chased by the Kite.

You have been asking me…
Perhaps more than 10 times…
You need an article by me...
To published in the school’s 50th souvenir…..
But I gaze into the emptiness…
I get merged into hopelessness…
Thinking what to write…
And pondering what to write…
My mind has stopped functioning…
Under the sky, I find myself..
In a world of insane…
Where everyone just work…
And there’s no talk…
And there’s no emotion…
And there’re no machines…
There humans are machines only…
And I love those human beings…
They have sparkling eyes…
They seem stoic and in fact they’re…
They don’t understand any word…
They don’t recognize any emotion…
They do not have any expectation…
They do not have any realization…
They only work, work and work….
I lose myself there…
I love that sphere…
There’s no award…
There’s no punishment…
There’s only one thing you need to do…
That is your work…
There’s no master…
There’s no slave…
Tringgg!!!
My cell phone beeps…
I regain my sense…
There is one msg…
I ignore it…
And I wish to ask Dad, “Why can’t you read my silence?”
To write is to speak…
And I don’t want to write…
Love,
Me.
I have a persimmon. Envy me! Envy my soon-to-be-furry yet delighted tongue!
When have you been overwhelmed with compassion or overcome with pity? How were you transformed by the experience?
Twenty thousand years ago, there was an ice age.
PALEO INDIANS: I’ve got a brilliant idea! Let’s walk across a giant snowy land bridge to reach a continent that we don’t even know exists!
Eight thousand years and a heck of a lot of frozen Paleo-Indians later…
PALEO INDIANS: Oh no! Global warming is killing off the wooly mammoths. After all, their being dead must have nothing to do with the fact that we’ve been slaughtering and eating them for eight thousand years. We’d better start an agricultural revolution and grow vegetables.
VEGETABLES: Crap.
Native America started making tons of impressive cities, presumably to attract European tourists. Ironically, the Anasazis “mysteriously” disappeared just before the Europeans arrived. Yep. The Europeans just missed them. Totally a coincidence. No potential mass murder here…
According to the textbook, the Aztecs “an aggressive, warlike people” conquered a bunch of cities and “ruled by force”. The book goes on to say that “before the arrival of white settlers, Indian wars were seldom very lethal,” leading us all to wonder how violent a group has to be for the textbook writers to consider them lethal.
A few years later, Columbus attempted to sail off the edge of the world, but being the incompetent sailor that he was, missed and ended up in the Bahamas. He called the people Indians, paving the way for political correctness complications everywhere.

He's so cute I just want to eat him up!
Here's some background, from whatever I understand of US Congressional procedures: Two months ago the House Finance Committee had a hearing on Ron Paul's HR 1207 ('Audit the Fed') bill. Before it came to vote, some senior members suggested amendments to the bill which would water it down considerably. This was supported by prominent economists (pdf link) and ex-Fed biggies like Greenspan and Paul Volcker (link).
However, the "populist" movement probably won this round, the bill was passed in its original form. Here is co-sponsor Alan Grayson (D) speaking just before the vote yesterday. Mel Watt, the other person in the video, had introduced the opposing amendment.
I think that the equity markets have topped out and have cashed out all my equity and equity mutual fund holdings, and am thus sitting on a pile of cash, which I’m looking to invest in debt. Happened to check out the websites of a few banks where I hold accounts and what caught my eye was the discontinuity in the yield curves.
Here is HDFC Bank:
| 1 year 1 day - 1 year 15 days | Below Rs.15 Lacs | 6.00% | 6.50% | May 18, 2009 |
| 1 year 16 days | Below Rs.15 Lacs | 6.50% | 7.00% | August 03, 2009 |
| 1 year 17 days - 2 years | Below Rs.15 Lacs | 6.00% | 6.50% | May 18, 2009 |
| 2 years 1 day - 2 years 15 days | Below Rs.15 Lacs | 6.00% | 6.50% | May 18, 2009 |
| 2 years 16 days | Below Rs.15 Lacs | 7.00% | 7.50% | August 03, 2009 |
| 2 years 17 days - 3 years | Below Rs.15 Lacs | 6.00% | 6.50% | May 18, 2009 |
| 3 years 1 day - 5 years | Below Rs.15 Lacs | 6.00% | 6.50% | May 18, 2009 |
Notice the discontinuity? About how for a couple of randomly chosen dates the interest rates suddenly shoot up?
Similarly with ICICI Bank:
| 391 days to 589 days | 6.25 | 6.25 | ||||
| 590 days | 6.25 | 6.25 | ||||
| 591 days to less than 2 years | 6.25 | 6.25 | ||||
| 2 years to 789 days | 7.00 | 7.00 | ||||
| 790 days | 7.00 | 7.00 | ||||
| 791days to 989 days | 7.00 | 7.00 | ||||
| 990 days | 7.25 | 7.25 | ||||
| 991 days to less than 3 years | 7.00 | 7.00 | ||||
Again same story. On certain “magical” days, interest rates shoot up. The degree of increase in rates here is much less dramatic, though. Nevertheless this is extremely interesting, and I wonder why. I remember last year going to Karnataka Bank and asking for a 1 year deposit, and they asked me to make one for 400 days saying that I’ll get 0.5% per annum better for that.
This morning I went to State Bank of India and found that they don’t offer these special rates. I had a friend check at another nationalized bank and found that they too don’t offer special rates. Wonder why the private banks are offering it, though. Why it makes that big a difference to them that the deposit is for 990 days as against 991 or 889. Or is it some way to prevent early closure?
In other news, SBI is offering teaser rates for home and auto loans. Their ads have been there all over the airwaves for the last few weeks. They offer 8% for first year, 8.5% for second and third years and then what they call as “normal rates” after that. If SBI is getting into teaser rates, god only save Indian finance.
• Got a letter from the bank informing me that the check from my Beauty and the Beast client bounced. ARGH! Not a headache I needed right now.
• As per the behaviorist's suggestion, we've covered Oscar's crate with a blanket to make it more of a den for him. Since I doubt anyone wants to look at a blanket covered crate all day, I've turned off the Random MooCam and will be moving it to a new location soon.
• One of the local radio stations started their 24/7 Christmas music broadcast for the season. Squeee!
• Our betta fish, Dr Jones, is ill again. He's very lethargic, has lost a lot of weight and does not look good at all. I'm going to start him on a new round of meds for internal parasites tonight. Send some good thoughts his way, please.
• My sister and BIL left on vacation today. They're flying to Spain, where they will board a cruise ship for seven days. They will be stopping in several ports in France and Italy before returning to Spain then flying home. Bon Voyage, you two!
• I can't believe Thanksgiving is only six days away!!!
