How to Drive in Heavy Rain: SunGlasses?

It appears that this solution has been going around for a while, and it has something to do with polarization, despite my doubt. I supposed a polarized sunglasses must be used. And life is more important, so first time experiment requires extra carefulness.

The Power of Truth vs Secret and Gossip

When someone offers us a secret to keep and we promised, it does not mean that when we discover this truth by other means without the bound of such promise, before or after the promise, that our decision to reveal the truth are bound by the same promise. For if that is so, that offer has unwittingly transformed into a command, and one either obeys the command or not, instead of promising to keep it or not. A command requires authority, an offer does not.

For example if someone says: Tim, I have a secret to tell you, you must promise not to tell anyone.
Tim: I WILL MOST DEFINITELY PROMISE that I will not reveal that it is you who has told me as I would treat it like gossip. But as for the truth, no man, not you nor I have enough authority nor power to hide it or speed it, in time, the truth shall always reveal itself, in its own good time.

We must never build our foundation of truth upon gossips.

Lack of Interpreters in America, No Shocking Matter

According to USA Today, it is rather unfortunate to see the once prominent country that boasted its immigrant welcoming zeal, now considered to be a prejudice country while many church leaders turning a blind eyes and hypocrisy against such acts.

The supposedly diverse country secretly reveals its racism after Obama's post-election. With KKK handing out literature, people betting on the date of assassination, racial graffiti, etc.

This is not to say that Christianity is bad or has turn people bad. But merely proves that no nation can steal God's glory.

Therefore, there are two choices for the ones on the wheel: 1. Balaam's choice, encouraging such jealousy, etc. 2. Pray for this nation with long suffering heart.

Vista Logon Screen: Don't display username icon

First, make "Ctrl-Alt-Del" a necessary requirement to access the login screen by:

typing "netplwiz" in the Start Search. Then go to Advanced tab, check "require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Del".

Then, since Vista Home has no gpcedit.msc or secpol.msc feature, type "regedit" in the Start Search instead. After that, go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Change the value of the dontdisplaylastusername keyword to 1.
