UPDATED on May 1st, 2007 - I’ve bought a Chinese D-Link DI-624+A and even if the user interface in not so complex, I think that it’s easier to have the English version
But that’s not so easy to upgrade the firmware from a Chinese version to an English one…

As I didn’t find anything on the web, I’ve finally found it by myself and I will explain the procedure hereafter. Maybe it would be useful for some of you!

When I’ve watched this video, it immediately reminds me our rollerskating sessions in Paris…
Free rides on the small streets, jumping everywhere, going down on the Champs-Elysées…
Moreover, this guy as the same Salomon Crossmax as me

We should do such kind of videos in Shanghai!!!

As my bikers friends pushed me to participate to the Huangshan Mountain Bike Competition, I’ve just registered to it!
I encourage you to do the same if you wanna do some sport and discover (or rediscover!) this beautiful area in Anhui province.

The venue is on Saturday, April 7th.
The track is around Hongcun town. 2 circuits are available according to your skills: one 23km long, another one 69km long.
It consists of a true marathon race and a shorter X-country race through ancient settlements, bamboo forests and tea terraces.

四天以前，在星期天下午，我首先打算去轮滑在SMP滑板公园，但是下雨了所以，代替花时间在家，我给打电话我的以前的同事，叫Jean-Philippe，一个热情的摄影师。我提议他去走路在地铁3号线的终点站旁边。

确实，一些月以前，3号线延长了从江湾镇，附近复旦大学，向江杨北路。加10革新的站，离去20公里从人民广场。终点站位于很近长江：这是那个红的点在下一张人造卫星的图片：

多亏了我的妈妈，我上个月发现了这张图片。1943 年它被拍照了, 在巴黎, 在艾菲尔铁塔之下, 由著名法国摄影师 Robert Doisneau 。题花是"Le remorqueur du Champ de Mars" 。

According to a swiss consortium, the interpretation of results from studies on GSM health effects are distorted by their sponsorship funding.

Everybody is aware about the concern regarding the possible health effects of cellular telephone use. These independent (?!) scientists have examined whether the source of funding of studies of the effects of low-level radiofrequency radiation is associated with the results of studies. They’ve conducted a systematic review of studies of controlled exposure to radiofrequency radiation with health-related outcomes (electroencephalogram, cognitive or cardiovascular function, hormone levels, symptoms, and subjective well-being).

Of 59 studies, 12 (20%) were funded exclusively by the telecommunications industry, 11 (19%) were funded by public agencies or charities, 14 (24%) had mixed funding (including industry) , and in 22 (37%) the source of funding was not reported. Studies funded exclusively by industry reported the largest number of outcomes, but were least likely to report a statistically significant result: The odds ratio was 0.11 (95% confidence interval, 0.02–0.78) , compared with studies funded by public agencies or charities.
