Display Driver ATIKMDAG Stopped Responding and Has Recovered

Thus far the best solution for this "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered", atikmdag in particular (flash video playing slowly, error message box shows up when flash video runs in full screen for a while) is to disable Hardware Acceleration in settings by right clicking flash window.

Exporting MS Access data into MS Word

Finally, there is an easy way(filling MS Word fields with Access data) in Access using VBA scripting:

Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
'Print customer slip for current customer.
Dim appWord As Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
'Avoid error 429, when Word isn't open.
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
'Set appWord object variable to running instance of Word.
Set appWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'If Word isn't open, create a new instance of Word.
Set appWord = New Word.Application
End If
Set doc = appWord.Documents.Open("C:\WordForms\CustomerSlip.doc", , True)
With doc
.FormFields("fldCustomerID").Result = Me!CustomerID
.FormFields("fldCompanyName").Result = Me!CompanyName
.FormFields("fldContactName").Result = Me!ContactName
.FormFields("fldContactTitle").Result = Me!ContactTitle
.FormFields("fldAddress").Result = Me!Address
.FormFields("fldCity").Result = Me!City
.FormFields("fldRegion").Result = Me!Region
.FormFields("fldPostalCode").Result = Me!PostalCode
.FormFields("fldCountry").Result = Me!Country
.FormFields("fldPhone").Result = Me!Phone
.FormFields("fldFax").Result = Me!Fax
.Visible = True
.Activate
End With
Set doc = Nothing
Set appWord = Nothing
Exit Sub
errHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
End Sub

Olber's Paradox

Where under the assumption of an infinite universe with infinite stars, the sky should always be "infinitely" bright.

The answer to this by my coursera professor S. G. Djorgovski in Galaxies and Cosmology, master of hypnosis, is that the universe is finite. Edgar Allan Poe's answer.

Gun Advocates the Civilized

Watching Alex Jones and Piers Morgan on the CNN Clip, I can only say: "So the barbarian is the gun advocate?".

The Incarnation of Christ (Person)

(This entry shares with my other entry and is the main entry of focus)

Before Christmas, there seems to have much talk of this, between Alex, Dr. Tong, East, West.

It is orthodox belief, that Christ is both fully God and fully Man. As man he is vulnerable, limited, flesh, etc.

However, Western theology rarely speaks of Christ being created. Hence the debates arose. As much as the Nestorians and Apollinarianism were wrong in Christology, the God-Man duality has attracted other debates, like that of Witness Lee's and subsequently Alex and Tong.

I myself have not looked into this, so I would place this entry under "Projects" category.

Free wifi from Downtown Manhattan

Chelsea has already started. Bloomberg is certainly working hard.

The WiFi network runs from 15th to 19th Street and from Eighth to Tenth Avenue, including about a two-block stretch of the High Line. It also extends into several of the neighborhood’s other public spaces.”

That includes the Chelsea Triangle at 14th Street and Ninth Avenue as well as public plazas in the Meatpacking District and 14th Street Park at Tenth Avenue.

There is also plan to extend this to 34th street.

Evolution Course Reflection: Lampsilis Mussels

Fascinating. Though this "symbiotic" relationship between clams and fish is not uncommon, the Lampsilis mussels are the ones that evolutionists use for their mimicry support.

I'm glad the Creationist, Ian Juby quickly responded that such evolutionary claim was already pre-refuted by Jobe Martin in his video series: Incredible Creatures that Defy Evolution.

Some bay think taking this class is a joke, at least I am getting information from professionals.

My Indian Culinary Class

Yesterday (Monday), I went for the groupon offer.
The food didn't taste quite Indian. Chef wasn't Indian either. I suppose they tried to make the food not too "ethnic", as some might find that too much.
Learned some ideas like storing egg content in a ketchup bottle to safe the cracking time, oxidation of food (no good) and oiling baking container.
Here are the recipes they put into my account on their site:
Seafood Tikka Masala

Coursera

This week marks the beginning. I am starting 3 courses. Nadia started Standford's Game Theory with (on separate time) me. My two other courses are Duke's Evolution and Caltech's Galaxies & Cosmology.

Cosmology professor is a master of hypnosis. I fell asleep multiple times on the subway. Yes. These courses are in video format and I have them transferred to my phone. Never waste time while commuting. That's a little more than 1/5th of my urban life. This is why though I can have a driver's license, I would be very very reluctant to drive in this city.

The Younger and the Older - On Reputation

It would appear that the younger ones are more sensitive to their own reputation. They love it.

The mature ones, they have pertained theirs. There's no need to be as sensitive. So they could be as friendly as before, before a variety of associates.

I said mature ones, because there are older ones who aren't mature and lust after their reputation.
