Just a quick note on what are Auto Transponder keys. Transponder keys are also be called “chip keys”. Many people who have transponder keys are not aware of the fact because the circuit is hidden inside the plastic head of the key. Transponder keys are automotive ignition keys with signal-emitting circuits built inside. When the key is turned in the ignition cylinder, the car's computer transmits a radio signal to the transponder circuit. The circuit has no battery; it is energized by the radio signal itself. The circuit typically has a computer chip which is programmed to respond by sending a coded signal back to the car's computer. If the circuit does not respond or if the code is incorrect, the engine will not start. Many cars immobilize if the wrong key is used by intruders. Chip Keys successfully protect cars from theft in two ways: forcing the ignition cylinder won't start the car, and the keys are difficult to duplicate. This is why chip keys are popular in modern cars and help decrease car theft.
Also talking about the code, It is an encrypted signal sent over micro wave band width. So you need proper programming of the key before you can use it.

Looking for a pair of eyeglasses that suites you the best, yet wants it be cheap and fashionable. There aren't many choices in the market. But you can rely on some expert advice. In the following review Eric Hammer does a wonderful review about the options available to you.
As he says, Zenni optical provide the lowest price for the quality eyeglasses they present. According to what they have mentioned in their website, it is been possible to provide such quality with low cost due to their business approach which involves no middle man. They provide their customers right from their manufacturing plants.
When you think about other cheap options, they are over loaded with counterfeit models that will harm your health as well as your image. In the case of expensive brands, their cost has gone sky high due to advertising costs, middle man chargers and retail overhead. So why do we have to pay someones advertising bills when we have the option to use something for it's real value.
The review i mentioned earlier also describes some of the drawbacks of traditional prescription glasses as well as many more ways by which products like Zenni optical can be really handy for your budget.

Another important thing is your shoes. They can easily damage your skin and predispose you to infections.
Don't wear shoes without socks.
Don't wear sandals or other open-toed shoes.
Avoid high-heeled shoes and shoes with pointed toes.
Wear well-padded socks or stockings that are 1/2 inch longer than your longest toe. Don't wear stretch socks, nylon socks, socks with an elastic band or garter at the top, or socks with inside seams.
Don't wear uncomfortable or tight shoes that rub or cut into your feet. If you've had problems before because of shoes that didn't fit, you may want to be fitted for a custom-molded shoe.
Talk to your doctor before you buy special shoes or inserts.
Shop for new shoes at the end of the day when your feet are a little swollen. If shoes are comfortable when your feet are swollen, they'll probably be comfortable all day.
Break in new shoes slowly by wearing them for no more than an hour a day for several days.
Change socks and shoes every day. Have at least 2 pairs of shoes so you can switch pairs every other day.
Look inside your shoes every day for things like gravel or torn linings. These things could rub against your feet and cause blisters or sores.
Diabetes is a chronic debilitating condition which predisposed you to become immune compromised. Its' macroangiopathic and microangiopathic effects render some areas of the body ischemic.

High levels of glucose in blood will reduce the efficiency of the immune system components, by making advanced glycation end products (due to glycation of the components of the immune system). Also in diabetes ketoacidosis neutrophillic functions are reduced. All in all immune system of a diabetes patient will have a lesser efficacy than a normal healthy person.

Dry your feet well, especially between the toes. Use a soft towel and pat gently; don't rub.
Keep the skin of your feet smooth by applying a cream or lanolin lotion, especially on the heels. If the skin is cracked, talk to your doctor about how to treat it.
Keep your feet dry by dusting them with nonmedicated powder before putting on shoes, socks or stockings.
Check your feet every day. You may need a mirror to look at the bottoms of your feet. Call your doctor if you have redness, swelling, pain that doesn't go away, numbness or tingling in any part of your foot.

Today paypal sent me a message saying they have reversed one of the transactions sent to my account. But the amount sent back was greater than the amount that was there in my account. So i got a negative balance. Cool isnt't it. hehe
Basically what we have to do is to have .htaccess file in the location where images reside and forward the request to a PHP script that will combine the requested image with the pre defined water mark using phpGD library and out put the new image. (here we use phpGD library there are other libraries that you can use.)
First of all you need add a .htaccess file into the location where your images are stored. here i have images in /images folder. This will get all the http requests going to the folder, where htaccess resides and direct them into /watermark/image_full.php file.
RewriteEngine on # watermark big pictures with own watermark image RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_(.*).jpg /watermark/image_full.php?%{REQUEST_FILENAME} RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_(.*).gif /watermark/image_full.php?%{REQUEST_FILENAME} RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_(.*).png /watermark/image_full.php?%{REQUEST_FILENAME}
Then we create a folder called, /watermark. Then put your water mark image in a png format in to that folder. Then we have to build the php file that will out put the image requested, with the water mark added to it.
We will be using phpGD library to merge two images and create a new image. Check the following PHP code. php file is in the same directory as the water mark file (/watermark)
// out put the result as a image header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); //File name of the water mark file $wmark='watermark_copyright.png'; // get the image name into a variable $mimage=$QUERY_STRING; // load water mark image into a new image object $watermark = imagecreatefrompng($wmark); // get water mark width and height $watermark_width = imagesx($watermark); $watermark_height = imagesy($watermark); // load requested image into a image object if it is a gif image if(eregi('.gif',$mimage)) { $image = imagecreatefromgif($mimage); } // load requested image into a image object if it is a jpg image elseif(eregi('.jpeg',$mimage)||eregi('.jpg',$mimage)) { $image = imagecreatefromjpeg($mimage); } // load requested image into a image object if it is a png image elseif(eregi('.png',$mimage)) { $image = imagecreatefrompng($mimage); }
// get the width and height of requested image $size = getimagesize($mimage);
// here we calculate new width and height for our watermark.
// create image holder object for new water mark $nw_watermark = imageCreate($WM_N_W, $WM_N_H); // resize the water mark ImageCopyResized($nw_watermark, $watermark, 0, 0, 0, 0, $WM_N_W, $WM_N_H, $watermark_width, $watermark_height); // set x and y co-ordinates for placement of the watermark $dest_x = $size[0] - $WM_N_W - 10; $dest_y = $size[1] - $WM_N_H - 20;
//make the watermark transparent imagecolortransparent($watermark,imagecolorat($watermark,0,0)); // merge two images imagecopyresampled($image, $nw_watermark, $dest_x, $dest_y, 0, 0, $watermark_width, $watermark_height, $watermark_width, $watermark_height);
// out put image imagejpeg($image); // destroy image objects and free the memory imagedestroy($watermark); imagedestroy($image); Check the comments for explanations. If you are copying and pasting this, make sure, comments are escaped with // or /* and */
Today i came across some work of one of my friends. To remove vocals from a sound track. Actually for it to be used as a karaoke. There is no easy ways to do this. This requires removal of frequency range of the voice of the singer. But always, it will overlap with the music frequencies. So you can not really get what you really want. But you can try and try and get close to what you want.
Here are some of the software i came across.
blazaudio - less controls of what we can do with the clip. But reduce the voice level of the vocals.
analogueX winamp plugin - They they, it reduces the vocals sound level, but i couldn't get working.
Adobe Audition 3 - An advance piece of software for professionals. Complex controls. But get's closer. With some experience with this software, you should be able to get what you need done.
