Coleen McLoughlin takes the plunge

Her fiancé Wayne Rooney may be the one with sporting ability, but Coleen McLoughlin proved yesterday she's not without talent.

The WAG scored top points for effort when she took a dive off a pontoon as she enjoyed yet another day of sunshine in Barbados.

Ready, set: Coleen McLoughlin prepares to take the plunge while holidaying in Barbados this week

The toned and tanned WAG escaped to the Caribbean earlier this week for a girls-only getaway with her two closest friends, where she is said to be staying at the exclusive Sandy Lane Hotel.

Coleen jetted off after manager Fabio Capello banned WAGs from England games, which saw her miss fiancé Wayne Rooney play in the friendly against Switzerland at Wembley earlier this week.

She told Closer magazine: "Wayne's busy playing for England, so I thought I'd get away while I've got some free time."

Coleen says she didn't have any reservations about slipping back into her two-piece: "I've been quite good with my diet and exercise recently."

Cooling off: Coleen scores top points for effort

"I try to go to the gym three times a week for about two hours each time but it doesn't always happen. I do cardio work and I like Pilates.

"I suppose every woman has hang-ups. I'm curvy. I have to pick what I eat. I'm only 5ft 3in, so I'd like to be taller with longer legs.

"You always want to lose a few pounds or tone up a bit more but I'm a confident person."

Easy being green: Coleen showed off yet another bikini

She is currently starring in her own ITV2's reality series Real Women, which sets out to get normal girls on the catwalk.

She selects women from across the UK to compete against real models for jobs.

Coleen has said: “There are things I dislike about my body but there is no reason why other women can't have the opportunities that I've had.

"If I can get one of these companies to use a girl that isn't a typical model then I've achieved what I've set out to do.

"You don't have to be the typical supermodel type. I think as long as your happy you're healthy. I couldn't care less whether you are a size zero or size 18."

Gillian Chung: The HK Sex Photo Scandal

We have to delay regular post to bring you the hottest news in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and probably other parts of the chinese speaking community around the world because these people are major stars.

Hong Kong gossip mills are churning over stars Edison Chen, Gillian Chung (鍾欣桐), Bobo Chan (陳文媛) and Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) as a scandal has erupted around the stars. The media frenzy began in late January and has continued at a frenzied pace when revealing personal pictures of Chung, a member of the squeaky clean Cantopop duo Twins, and her former boyfriend, singer-actor Chen.

Gillian Chung's company, Emperor Entertainment Group, initially said the photographs were a digital fake, recent media reports have suggested otherwise. The newspaper also reported that Bobo Chan had her upcoming wedding called off on the orders of her fiancé’s mother.

It was rumoured that the photos were stolen along with others when Edison Chen's computer went in for repair. Gillian Chung , Bobo Chan and Cecilia Cheung have not appeared in public since sexually explicit images purportedly of them involved in sex acts with Edison started surfacing.

Updated 11/02/08: The highly sought after pictures of Maggie Q are being slowly released. But word in the forum has it that it's a fake.

Updated 10/02/08: Gillian Chung finally made her first public appearance today telling everybody that she was naive and foolish. Meanwhile, rumour has is that Hollywood superstar Jackie Chan is mentioned in the video during a 'conversation' between Edison and Gillian.

Updated 09/02/08: New sets of Bobo Chan were released today in various poses.

Updated 08/02/08: Around four brand new sets of Gillian and Cecilia have been released. Also along with this set, 3 pictures of Vincy Yeung in the shower was included. She’s 18 now, but no one knows when the pictures were taken. Her uncle is Edison’s ex-boss and has gang affiliations. Looks like Edison's in some trouble now.

Update 08/02/08: A video of Hollywood star Maggie Q (李美琪) involved in sex acts with Edison had surfaced on the web. It was rumoured that the sex tape showed up on a Hong Kong discussion board but was swiftly removed by moderators.

Update 08/02/08: Rumour is that images of Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) in lingerie had surfaced on the internet. There are four images circulating on the web of a woman, purported to be Jolin, in provocative poses.

Also, less well known celebrities including Rachel Ngan (顏穎思), Mandy Chen (陳育嬬) and Candice Chan (陳思慧) were purported to be the women in other sex photos that flooded the internet and that were also alleged to come from Edison's computer.

Stay Tuned!

Note: For the respect of the victims of the scandal, beautifulnewsmakers.blogspot.com will not post any photos from the scandal. So please DO NOT ASK for them here. Google it or something.

Google Translation + Gmail help people communicate

Posted by T.V. Raman, Research Scientist

From time to time, our own T.V. Raman shares his tips on how to use Google from his perspective as a technologist who cannot see -- tips that sighted people, among others, may also find useful. - Ed.

Language barriers can be a primary source of accessibility problems on the web, and automatic translation, though not perfect, provides a useful solution.

We recently made our machine translation technology accessible from within Gmail and Google Talk, which gives mail and IM users instant access to translation capabilities at the point where they might most need them, e.g., when communicating with friends and colleagues around the world. If you find yourself wanting to translate a few words or short phrase, you can IM an appropriate chat-bot to obtain an immediate translation. As an example, the Google translation bot for going from English to Chinese is available as en2zh@bot.talk.google.com. In general, translation bots are named using two-letter codes for the source and target language.

Surfacing machine translation in this manner is a great example of how Web 2.0 mashups bring together useful services to create solutions that are bigger than the sum of their building blocks. I've blogged here in the past about the potential presented by web mashups for users with special needs. Using our work on AxsJAX to inject accessibility enhancements into Web applications, my officemate Charles Chen and I recently augmented Google Talk to produce appropriate spoken feedback when used with adaptive technologies such as self-voicing browsers.

The combination of machine translation, instant messaging and AxsJAX-enabled spoken output produces an interesting result that is obvious after the fact: when I use Google IM to message a translation bot, I now hear the result in the target language. This makes for a very interesting chat buddy -- one who can act as my personal interpreter!

And let's not forget that little translate this page within Google search results. Next time you find that some of the documents in your search results are non-English, try clicking on that translate link. You'll be able to specify the source and target languages to obtain an automatically generated translation. A nice thing about the translated page is that when you follow any links from that document, the newly retrieved document will be automatically translated. Thus, if you find an article in German that matches your query and you're an English speaker, you can translate from de|en (that's German to English using two letter language codes) and as you read the translated English version, following links from that document will result in their being automatically translated to English.

Just Blurb it Out

I think I am in love! Seriously! This is fantastic - so many of my brides lately want to create a journal book of their planning and their DIY ideas. And yesterday I ran across this website Blurb you can create a hard cover or soft cover book with text and beautiful images!

You can create a book of whatever you want, including your blog! The layouts are endless!!! I am thinking Tux might want to create a book of his Irish Adventures later this month - and if you wanted to, you could create your own coffee table book of your weddding, or for us wedding consultants, the weddings we've planned - it'd be such a professional way to show off your work if you are a florist.

Or a cook book if you love to cook - or maybe a book of your pets, or children, or events or parties, or your favorite hobbies, really the possiblities are endless!

Thank you Blurb for being so affordable, and making the process so super easy!!! How fun!!! You must check this out!
