Perhaps this might help Beets...?

A touch clunky for me, but thanks for trying!


We have anything like a sandal, with thin straps? Just asking for it. Heheheh

WOW! is right! I want one!

Very interesting site altogether. Good catch Wynd!

My my, haven't I been lazy! I didn't make a single post here after the first one yesterday and neither did anyone else.

Over at Rocky's yesterday, Captain Avatar praised me for being an expert on men wearing high heels. He got that completely wrong, but Hey! I'll try anything once...

I'd like my first pair of high heels to be something special though. If you've got a suggestion for what my first high heel shoes should look like, post a pic of your choice right here.

And now, time for some breakfast. Here's Steak and Eggs, which kinda fits in with race day today at the Indy 500. Zoom! Zoom!

Now that's a meal you could have for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I'll see what I have in my shoe closet.

Good Morning everyone!


It's Saturday morning, so how about some nice French Toast with Bacon and genuine Maple Syrup? The Daily Funnies will be up soon.


Enjoy!

Wynd, I hear you like Caipirinhas. Here's a cocktail in the Rio style, with turbinado sugar.


Welcome to Beethoven's!


Enjoy!

That's the only kind of sugar we use other than honey.

This is my hubby's.

That's some nice handmade work there..good detailing. Is that plasterwork or woodwork? I can't quite tell from this.

I see you have a lion rampant on the left and what looks to me like a griffyn rampant on the right. Anyway, very nice.

Somebody pass me the popcorn.

WOOT! hehe

It's nice here today too, and I have my car "Baby", back in good shape. But I'm beat after looking after my father today (yes, he's back) and dealing with the visiting nurse.

I've been on the forums here on-and-off since early morning and now I'm going to take a little nap.

See you later, Fuzzy. :-)

Ok, see you later. :-)

Oh! and before I forget...Domi's back! Isn't that nice?


She just posted in Paddy's Irish Cafe, you'll recognize her avatar.


See you later, Fuzzy. :-)

But, great that you have a holiday today!


Happy White Sunday, Fuzzy!

Thanks, I just got home. I have been at work the whole day, I was asked yesterday if I could stay the whole day today if I get the day off Monday June the 4'th, the day before our national holiday Constitution Day the 5'th. So I'll have 4 days off then including the weekend. And I'm doing some interesting work these days, so I didn't mind staying.

So I'm home again after some shopping. Nice weather here, warm and sunny.

Coffee anyone?



And it's Whitsun holiday here. Yay!

Well, somebody took somebody's three walking lions, is all I'm saying. I don't know who, how, or when.


But, great that you have a holiday today!


Happy White Sunday, Fuzzy!

Say "Hello" to CAVEman, the first complete 4d computer model of the human body, complete with genetic data.


**********************************

Virtual human better than textbook, scientist says
Known as CAVEman, he is anatomically
perfect and ready to be manipulated
BY MICHEL COMTEAgence France- Presse



OTTAWA — Alberta scientists have created the world’s first virtual computer model of a human body, translating a litany of complex medical and genomic data into 4D images to test drugs and surgeons’ skills.

The virtual man with his skin and skeleton removed to display every vein, artery and organ, floating in a small, dark room with more than 3,000 body parts projected from walls and the floor, was unveiled at the University of Calgary.

Known as CAVEman, he is anatomically perfect and ready to be manipulated at the click of a button on a computer, holding the key to understanding complex diseases and human development, say its creators.

"The image almost comes a live," Andrei Turinsky, a researcher at the University of Calgary’s department of biochemistry and molecular biology, told AFP.

"It allows us for the first time to model the entire human body including anatomy, chemistry and tissue types."

Using Java 3- D technology, a commonly used Web- based computer programming language, images that can be detected with the use of special glasses allow doctors to pinpoint DNA defects and manipulate genes in a bid to find cures for diseases.

This complete human atlas in four dimensions — length, width, height and time — also allows researchers to observe the evolution of illnesses and to view the body’s reaction to digital chemicals.

"A doctor or patient could be shown what is going on inside a body. For people not versed in medical terminology or medical data analysis, it helps them to see it visually," Turinsky said. "It’s better than a biology textbook."


"Initially, we would feed a person’s medical data into the computer to show them what is happening in their body. Eventually, we hope to use it to predict what would happen if a patient didn’t pursue a treatment or if certain genes act up," he said.

The computer program could tell scientists if a drug has potential before heading into the lab to conduct tests on living cells, avoiding experiments on animals, people or cadavers before starting clinical trials.

It could also be used to help doctors plan a surgery or develop new surgical techniques.

Initially, the project aimed to create computer models that could be used to train massage therapists. But researchers quickly realized its broader potential.

The 4D human atlas is built upon data from basic anatomy textbooks.


Fundamental body systems and organs were rendered into animated drawings by a graphic artist, and converted into Java 3D images to bring them to life in the university’s "Holodeck."


A team of computer scientists, biologists and mathematicians worked on the project for six years. Turinsky said he hopes to see it widely used within the next two years.

Art doesn't have to be complicated to fetch a good price. This painting "Pine Trees and Red House, Winter" by Lawren Harris of the Canadian "Group of Seven" was just sold at auction for $2,850,000.

I kinda like it myself. ;)
