When I usually get up in the morning, my usual routine is to get some caffiene inside me and grab the morning paper. This is usually followed by shower and breakfast. By this time I usually discover that I am running mighty late and I rush out of the house like a tornado. As time flows by my eyes keeping wandering to the clock wondering when it will be time to go back home. I am usually at home before six pm unless I have to stop by the market. Since, I do not go early to bed. I spend the time after my dinner either with my computer, books or tv. So, generally I do the most important tasks this time. If I've got enough time to relax still I dont go to bed right after dinner. I spend at least 2-3 hrs by net surfing or listning to music or reading books. Sometimes when I am feeling very lazy, especially after I finish my dinner, I ll lie down on my sofa and promptly take the remote in my hand and surf thru the channels until I find something interesting. After some time, go back, sleep comfortably on the bed.

Needing a little help
I need a little ‘puter help since I am mighty confused and I honestly am overwhelmed by all the choices out there. You see, it’s my computer which is making my life a bit rough for me at the moment and it keeps on bugging and harassing me by giving me these little messages that it is running out of space. I tried doing as much spring cleaning on my drive c: as possible but there is nothing to remove. So, the only two options left for me is either upgrade to a larger hard disk drive or repartition my existing one. Purchasing a new larger hard disk drive is out of the question at the moment since my laptop is only 1 ½ year old and I have an extended warranty on the whole thing except for the laptop battery. The only option left for me it seems is repartitioning my existing hard disk drive. So, the question arises….which software should I use? There are so many choices out there, so I need a little help. The information which I can provide to help you guys out is listed below:
Computer specifications:
RAM: 2 GB
HDD: 20 GB (Drive C :)
80 GB (Drive D :)
TOTAL: 100 GB
O/S: Windows Vista
I have been eyeing the Norton Partition Magic software but am unsure if it can work with the Windows Vista. I was informed that Windows has its own partition utility, but I was not able to increase the size of drive c: for some reason. Yes, using it I was able to decrease the size of drive d:, but I was not able to successfully able to allocate the free space to drive c: for some reason. May be I did not do it correctly. Could someone help me out in this so that I can avoid purchasing repartitioning software? Otherwise, please suggest really good software which is easy on the wallet, safely repartitions the hard disk drive without losing any data and is easy to use. Thanks in advance for any/all help.

Are they being rude?
Try to imagine the following situation: You are with a group of people who speak different languages. They all do speak English to different degrees, but you do not speak or comprehend their languages. If two of them get involved in a conversation amongst themselves then you will be left out in the cold and you would not be able to understand anything at all. Is it rude or impolite for them to converse so in their own language meaning or is it perfectly understandable for them to want to talk quickly and easily in their own first language?
After thinking about it, I guess it would really depend on the situation, since no two situations are really alike all the time. Under some situations I think I would find it slightly rude.
For example, if a group of people want to talk in their first language which is much easier for them to speak and understand, but if they are in the company of someone who does not speak their language... not to mention in a country that does not speak their language, yet they continue talking in their own language and totally ignore you completely. If this happens, then I think they are being rude. I think they should either speak English or go off away from the group to speak by themselves.
Also, I think it's a little rude and it's definitely exclusionary, especially in a social or work situation. They would be telling me that they obviously don't want me talking or associating with them by not speaking a language I can understand. Sometimes, I am surrounded by people speaking a lot of different languages, I have grown used to it now. If they're just some strangers talking, I don't care, but if it's at work or a social function, then I would consider it very rude
Put yourself in another country where you don't speak the language as well as you'd like, and you were with mostly people that spoke your language, and not the language of that country. Wouldn’t they feel the same? I think there are many places all over the world, where people will speak the local language above all others and refuse to speak English (or another language) when they could have easily spoken it.
To sum up, If you are all together as a group and it seems like you are deliberately being left out then yes, I think it would definitely be rude. It is rude to have an extended conversation in a different language while you are standing there completely confused. But again, it would depend on the situation. It would, however, be a good time to ask them to teach you a few words and phrases. You would learn something new and they would be more conscious of their breach of etiquette
Brightstorm experiance
When I was growing up, learning was never a fun thing for me. In some subjects I did good and in others I was just ok. Some subjects depended entirely on the teacher who is teaching and not every teacher does a good job. Therefore, I did good in some subjects and just about ok in others. I really did not have much help back then and I had to really fend for myself in many cases.
Well, now you have grown up and the studies are behind you. But, your children in high school now. You probably do not want them to go through the same troubles and hassles which you had gone through. Well, I just discovered a great site called Brightstorm which offers an excellent online educational network that aims to help high school children to perform better in school and also to prepare them for college studies. They offer video-based courses which are taught by expert teachers from around the country in such a way which is easily understood by the students. The courses cover a variety of subjects such as math, history, writing and AP and SAT test prep. The best part is that the students can choose their own teachers and the teaching style for each subject to suit their own learning style. They can also take the courses at their own pace since each person has a different learning curve and pick up speed. You can Sign up for a free brightstorm acocunt and check up their variety of course which they offer. Each course runs around $50 for a 12 month subscription. You can watch the episodes online anytime you want and learn at your own pace. The “teachers” have really great personalities and can hold your attention during the lesson. So, what are you waiting for? Check out partners.brightstorm.com/sheridan or more information regarding this online tutoring service. And give your children a brighter future. Start now before it’s too late.
It's been a long day
It really has been a long day for me. The unending amount of work today really wore me out. No matter how hard I tried to wrap up my work as quickly as possible, I was not really successful. The most irritating part of the day was that, just when it seems I was finally finishing up the work for the day...something new popped up. I was at wits end. Finally, around 3:00 PM or around that time, I took a late lunch and called it a day. Most of my work was done except for some misc. stuff which can easily be wrapped up in a jiffy the next day. Even though it was a long tiring day, but a good day. I did learn something new. I guess it was....If you have enough patience and dedication, you can plough through the never ending work and learn new things in the process. Each day brings something new and these things never cease to amaze me. We should try to start each day on a positive note since a certain amount of negativity at times tend to creep into our life as the day progresses on and on. Well, tomorrow is another day, and I guess I am ready to face it once more.

Have you hugged a tree today?
Conservation of nature is extremely vital. Just look all around and you will notice how much we are abusing our planet. Once our plant used to be covered with all types of greenery and we had a wide variety of animals, birds, fishes, etc. Due to industrialization and uncontrolled population increase, a large chunk of land cover is covered under the concrete jungle. In order to satiate our greed and endless hunger, we have stripped our planet to create huge mines, large industrial complexes, etc. without thinking of the consequences that these things will have in the long run. Mining, even though essential to our various industries destroy our environment in such a way that our planet takes many centuries to heal it self. Environmental awareness is the need of the hour. The government, local municipal boards, leaders, popular movie/TV stars, should come forward and do their bit in helping people become more environmentally friendly. For example, just by recycling all the paper products/ getting documents in electronic forms can save many large size forests. Switching from petroleum products to more environmentally friendly energy sources is quiet necessary these days and maybe making just the necessary trips to the shopping center. Just imagine how much pollution will be reduced if people supplemented some of their energy requirement by installing solar panel, used electric/hybrid cars, etc. Car pooling should be encouraged especially if many people who work in the same office live close by. Turning off unnecessary electrical appliances saves precious natural resources. If everyone does their bit…either by recycling their house hold waste, reducing energy consumption, etc, then we can actually save our planet. It will take many centuries to undo the damage that we have done in the last 100 years. So, start out with making just a few basic modifications to your lifestyles and not only save a whole bunch of money, but also you’ll be helping our environment heal itself. How about planting a tree every year? Not only will it give you shade in the summer, but will help in controlling the green house effect. So go out and do your bit and make Mother Nature happy.
Mojo rising
Home cooked food or outside food
I remember that I grew up on a diet of home cooked food. The kitchen was always full of sounds and smells of all kinds. If you ever had to step into the kitchen, you would have been assaulted by a wide variety of smells and the clanging sounds of pots, pans and other cooking items. As we grew older, everyone seemed to have less and less time on their hands. These days, everyone is doing their own stuff. Even during times like this we still manage to eat home cooked food. Not only is it healthier, but I find it much tastier and filling than restaurant food. Plus, we are assured that it was cooked under hygienic conditions. On the rare days that we have to eat out, it turns into a family picnic. We try to make the most out of it, and we usually end up having a blast. A wide variety of food is ordered so that we can try a little bit of everything. The end result is that we sometimes end up overeating. But even during such situations, we walk away happy since we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I guess that’s how it should be.

Snapbomb
These days there is a lot of buzz being created about blog advertising and blog marketing. You can see and hear about it all over the net. So I was curious about it and did a bit of investigating and discovered that it is a great which is beneficial to both the advertiser and the blogger. After a bit of hunting, I discovered a great site called Snapbomb, which offers bloggers a lot of opportunities to write about different topics, products, events, companies, and anything else which interests the writer. Isn’t it great to see that Snapbomb advertisers will pay the bloggers for their opinions and the readers will get an honest review to base their judgements on? I found this Snapbomb site http://www.snapbomb.com/bloggers.html?acp=7551 to be a real help since I really did want to get the full benefit from my blog. It is one of the better sites where the true value of your blog is calculated and the blogger is paid the fair price. So drop by and take a look.

Segregating waste
It is compulsory in a lot of areas to segregate wastes as per the local ordinance. People have to separate biodegradable materials from non-biodegradable materials. We try to segregate the trash into separate types of junk so that it becomes easier for the city to identify the material. We have a container for all tin and aluminium cans, a container for all plastics, a container for plastic bottles, and a container for all biodegradable materials except for papers. We collect papers separately. As for breakable bottles, we collect them also and sell them to the junk man. Some plastic bottles can also be sold when a sufficient quantity is accumulated. This is a great idea considering that it reduces the load in the dump site. It is a good practice to recycle, and I think that there are a larger number of people doing it in a town where you have too. I have lived in other cities that provide a recycle bin and it is left up to the people to put it to use and recycle, even though it is picked up by the city, in those towns most people end up using the recycle bin for storage, or some other purpose. We really should recycle and help save our environment. We are not only helping the community but we could also earn some amount for selling those junks.
How I surf
I guess it is an old habit of mine which I might not change. I use both the Google and Yahoo email services and whenever I am online, I turn on the messenger for both sites. I always turn it on when I am using the computer so I will get e-mail notifications especially if I am busy with some work and I am expecting some important mail. Besides, most of the time that I'm in front of my computer, I'm also chatting with my family or friends who are all located all over the world.Sometimes, when I am busy prefer to be in invisible mode.My friends just buzz me and see if I am there or not. If I give response or say "hi" they know I am there.Sometimes it becomes so difficult when you are busy and people keep messaging you,it distracts you and your work and not much gets accomplished.
Feeling lucky
That really got me started thinking that sometimes if you have that little extra time and want to enjoy it, maybe get a little lucky at times, then the online gambling sites are a good option. But it is kind of difficult to know which site is worth visiting and which one is not.
I guess it is okay to play at these sites as long as you know that you should have fun and not go overboard. One should play to have fun and that too within limits. It is a good way to pass time if there is not much else to do and you want to have fun on the net and really enjoy yourself. I am not really interested that much in this particular category of games, but I thought, why not? I sometimes play cards at home, so let’s see how I do on one of the online sites. If a person really wants to play a game, go to a site that is worth visiting. I really liked the way I spend my day and it seems like online gambling is a good way to have fun if you have access to the net. It can be so addicting that we can end up spending several hours on the net without realizing it.

Purchasing a new laptop?
It seems that a laptop is a necessity these days considering that companies and individuals are focusing on disseminating information thru the net nowadays as it offers a cheaper and quicker way to communicate with others. So, having your own laptop has become extremely necessarily these days in order to keep in touch with others. But, buying an electronic item is very difficult these days, especially with so many items offered today with mind boggling features. Not everyone has in depth knowledge of computers, so it might become difficult to comprehend the specifications. This is even more difficult in electronic gadgets like Laptop., especially since so many companies are offering them in different configurations, etc. I had a difficult time in choosing one for myself since I got confused by the entire advertising lingo which they putting on their site until I discovered a site called Savebuckets.co.uk which is a price comparison website and helps the user to find the best prices for laptops. It has reviews and price comparisons for leading brands including Acer, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba laptop computers. I found that this is an excellent site which has helped me to narrow down my choice. Everyone needs help in making an informed decision about the product and services which they are about to acquire and this does supply it in large amounts. The information is given in a simple to understand manner, yet is very informative.
So, if you have access to the net, spare some of your time and visit the site and make a wise decision. This site is a must visit site for all of you out there which are giving a serious thought to purchasing a Laptop. I noticed that it is an excellent time saving site which can be used to which can help the purchaser making an informed decision.

Beauty of Life
I am out of reading material. There is also not much on television it seems. I wanted something different today it seems. What I was looking for today was topics which are related to relationship, parenting, healthy living, home, and personal experiences. I think the Beauty of Life is in the fact that one should be able to understand and comprehend what the other person is trying to get across. It can sometimes really change your life. When I visited Beauty of Life I discovered this site really is well written site in which the author is able to put across her thoughts very well. She writes about such a wide variety of topics and I was amazed at the sheer volume of good quality posts which I read. I have really liked most of the posts. They seem to be so well written, are very readable and I am sure you will like a few posts at this site also. The author offers insight into many different topics and it is fun to read about the stuff from a person who lives in another country. Even though the posts are of a general nature at times and she is describing what has happened in her normal course of day, I still manage to find them very interesting. The page setup is good and has a lot of pictures to illustrate some point is a good way to keep the reader interested. So, if you ever need something different to read, drop by this site and hopefully you will enjoy reading the stuff as much as I did.

Felling all bloated?
I just love eating. Just last week I was at a massive party and I just pigged out. There was so many different varieties of dishes that I just could not control myself. But guess what happened. I woke up feeling all bloated and I was looking just awful. I had inadvertently managed to gain a lot of unwanted excess pounds. I was really feeling depressed and did not know what to do. I tried just about everything, but nothing seemed to work. So I went hunting for some site which will give me an unbiased, honest reviews and opinions about weight loss drugs. So I finally found a weight loss drug called phentermine. But before I actually Buy Phentermine, I thought it is best to find out as much as possible about this drug as possible. I discovered that this drug does have some side possible side effects are tachycardia (increased heart rate) and elevated blood pressure, but the incidence and magnitude of these appear to be less than with the amphetamines. But, the FDA approved this substance as an appetite suppressant drug and since then has been widely used to help obese patients to suppress hunger and lose weight. So, it can be can be considered safe if taken under doctors supervision. So, I am giving this a serious thought and hopefully it will help me out of the mess I am in. Sometimes, one needs medication to control excess weight problem and one should not shy away from taking these pills which can help you to correct your problems. So take a look and if you think it is appropriate for yourself, then give it a try. It might help you to regain your old slim look once more.

Why are people so paranoid of everything?
I recently noticed a lot of concerns about exposure to cell phones and I was wondering, what is wrong with people these days? I remember way back when microwaves were invented, there were huge studies done about how if you were exposed to the microwave, your kids will end up with all kinds of birth defects and you will get sick from using it. They made such a big deal about it. Well, I have been using the microwave with NO side effects at all, and am a very satisfied happy user. I also don't believe that I am getting any damage from my TV, my monitor, and other electronics or products. All these items transmit such minute amount of rays that no damage is done at all. People should not be so afraid and scared and concerned about these things. If you want honest opinion, most of the diseases and conditions that happen to people will happen to them irrespectative of whether they modern devices or not. They are going to happen anyway or they will noy. I don't think it has anything to do with refusal to own a microwave or the fact that you watch 12 hours of tv a day or spend 8 hours on your cell phone.
On an ending note, I would like to say as in everything else in life, take precautions in whatever you do. Buy excellent quality branded products. Get the product repaired immediately if damaged so it will not leak dangerous materials.
Disney Bingo
When I was little, the Disney shows used to be one of my favourites. I found them so entertaining and fun. I was able to spend hours after hours in front of the TV set mesmerised by the story woven by these characters. I guess we all have our favourite’s ones. Over a period of time some of them became my favourites. Some of my favourite’s characters were: Pluto, Donald Duck, and Tarzan. In the Disney movie section I really liked: Lillo and Stitch, Mary Poppins, if My Bed Could Fly, Chit Chit Bang Bang, Shrek 1&2 and Toy Story is probably my favourite of all of Disney’s efforts. Finally some of the songs which I remember are: "Rumbly In My Tumby" (The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh), "The Three Caballeros" (The Three Caballeros) and "Strange Things" (Toy Story). These really fascinated me a lot.
So, while I was surfing randomly and trying to find something which might catch my eye I discovered Disney Bingo. I found this to be highly entertaining and addictive and it focuses on the 'Top 15' Disney characters. You will really enjoy this great game which you will want to play over and over again. It is worth getting your own copy. I highly encourage you to go to Amazon or Drugstore.com to purchase your own Disney Bingo game! You will love it and will not regret owning such a great game. So drop by the sites and take a look. I am sure you will be tempted to get your own copy today. So what are you waiting for?

Welcome to the world of Multiply
It was a Sunday, and I was really bored. I surfed the television channels, browsed through newspapers/magazines, called up friends but nothing seemed to satisfy. So, I fired up the computer and logged in to the net and started surfing. I was surfing randomly and trying to find something which might catch my eye. I needed something different. That is when I stumbled upon OZZYHELL.
I discovered it a must visit site which makes me want to come back to it over and over again. It is not only a music site but also has many general articles. There is something for everybody. It has some great looking graphics and the material is distributed through out the site in a well thought out manner. The Ozzyhell writes good reviews and other personal articles in a well thought out manner. I would say that this is a gem of a site. It got me so interested that I am thinking of visiting it a few more times to get my fill. Some of the articles are of excellent quality.
On a final note, I would like to wrap up this article by saying that this site is a very well laid out one with pleasing and soothing colors. It contains such a wide variety of topics that I was simply stunned. But the plus point of this site is that it is written in a easy to understand way and gives out the necessary information in just the right way.

Alluricious Blog
I was having a real dull boring day until I ran across Alluricious Blog. It is a fun to read blog which will liven up anyone’s life. Then sheer variety of material is mind boggling. The author of this blog seems to know she is writing about.
The author of this blog has set it up as her daily journal where she writes about the topics which she likes to write about. Such a wide variety of posts and they are really well written. I really like her writing style and she is able to get her point across quiet well. Even though the posts are of a general nature at times and she is describing what has happened in her normal course of day, I still manage to find them very interesting. The page setup is good and has a lot of pictures to illustrate some point is a good way to keep the reader interested.
So the next time you are cruising down the net highway, drop by the above mentioned site. After you start reading the posts, you will just lose track of time and will not want to leave the site. It is one of the must visit site which you will enjoy visiting over and over again.
Reclaim your slim figure once more
If you love eating foods and just cannot resist those delicious mouth watering items, then you must have noticed that you have gained a few unwanted pounds. This can end up just about anywhere and can make you look unsightly. Besides exercise, there are not many options available. If you want to shed those unwanted inches and you do not have the time for exercise due to time constraints or lack of space to do the exercise, then consider using slimquick. Did you know that more than half of the mgs (milligrams) per capsule are caffeine and the recommended dose is equivalent to 2 cups of coffee (250 mgs)? Since I am the type of guy who is scared away from all the pills out there that really are nothing more than stimulants, I found this diet loss pill to be just the right thing for me, since the caffeine just suppresses the hunger pangs and make the metabolic rate go up, and you will burn more calories. Makes it easier for a person to lose weight. I think it is an excellent option to make use of. Even though you might be thinking of hitting the gym for a high intensity work out, give this diet pills a serious thought. You will end up shedding that excess fat mighty quick and get back your old looks and slim trim body once again. Visit the site now and see for your self.
Burn away that unwanted fat
I just love eating. Put it in front of me and chomp it right down. It can be a burger, pizza, pasta, etc. I just cannot resist these delicious items. But look what has happened. I have gotten so big that now I look like a hot air balloon. I needed help and that to fast. I was confused and did not know what to do. I needed that little bit of extra help to shed these unwanted pounds. So, while on the net I discovered a site called sybervision which offered an Unbiased Source for Diet Pill, Wrinkle Cream, and Acne Treatment Reviews. This really drew my attention and I immediately started exploring the site. While looking at the product line-up I noticed a product called hydroxycut. If you think a little hard, you might remember hearing about a product called Hydroxycut. Long time back, when Ephedra was legal, Hydroxycut was the king of the hill when it came to fat burners. Then the Ephedra ban came along. Luckily Hydroxycut had made Muscletech tons of cash, and this cash is now being used to place Hydroxycut ads that you see all over the place. If you ever have the chance to open up a fitness magazine, you will see these 4 to 8 page ads all about Hydroxycut. If you were to take a closer look at Hydroxycut's ingredients, you will notice that it is just really an ordinary fat burner.
While there is no clinical evidence on the effectiveness of the ingredients used in this fat burner pill, but from what information is available, the ingredients used in these pills are actually better at blocking carbs than burning fat. Not a bad thing. So you can hit the gym and also take these pills. So, if you are ever stuck in this type of situation and want to lose those unwanted inches, try considering using hydroxycut. Who knows, maybe you will finally be able to fit into those jeans that you discard long time back. So, what are you waiting for? Visit the site now.

Travel Prints
Once more I am bitten by the travel bug. Long time since I had gone anywhere for vacation purpose and this time is just the right time to go some place really nice. I was really not sure of where to go. I did not want to go to the same run of the mill vacation spots. I wanted information on a wide variety of places without the hassles of searching all over the net. The sites which I had visited were good, but I was not fully satisfied. Each and every site had almost the same material it seemed. I wanted something different. Just by chance, I discovered a site called Travel and Events which talks about sites, festivals, events, costs and places to travel. This is a neat site which I found really useful and entertaining. I liked it so much that I have visited the site many times and discovered some information which I was not aware of before. The site is set up in such a manner that it easily navigable with pleasing colors. It contains a wide variety of information and some really decent pictures which are appropriately used to highlight some particular point.
Since there are so many posts on this site, I am sure you will find something interesting. The author of this blog seems like a knowledgeable writer and has managed to put together a site, when it becomes really popular, will attract a lot of viewers. So, when you are planning a visit next time, take some time out and pay a visit to this site and maybe you will find something useful for yourself.

Everything Kimchi
Living in a strange country can be fun and unnerving at the same time. This is especially true if the person is a student. As I found out at the site, this blog is about an exchange student life in South Korea where he lived a worry-free Year 2007. The author also posts pre-Korea entries, which are all hot and spicy like Kimchi. You see, Elliot, a senior student at the University of the Philippines. He had been an exchange was a one year student in Daejeon University, South Korea under the auspices of ASEAN University Network. It seems like he had enjoyed his stay there and learned a lot of stuff as a student. This blog turned out to be fun, entertaining and informative. I have never ran across this type of blog before, but I am glad that I did. The articles which Elliot has written are very enjoyable to read and he seems to write very well. So, if you want to get a glimpse of what a person who had spent some time in South Korea as a student, then you can give this site a try. It contains a lot of topics and I hope you find them as interesting and fun as I did. Give this site a try.
Podworks - A cool site
Sometimes one runs into sites which were indented for a different purpose, but ended up being used in a much better manner. This website is a blog about everything and I am quiet sure that you will find it very entertaining and informative. It is a very well laid out site with pleasing and soothing colors. It contains such a wide variety of topics that I was simply stunned.

Jay's Corner
Boy!!!!!! I was really lost on the net the other day. I was looking for a site which could give me some information on my favourite movies and I really could not find the right site. Nothing seemed to satisfy. I kept searching and searching but I kept getting a dead end. Then by chance I found Jay's corner which contains stuffs right from details about movies to some really interesting career opportunities and some details about cartoons and also gadgets. This is the type of sight I was looking for all along. It is just an awesome site. So much information and seems like Jay has put in a lot of hard work into building this fantastic site. I simply love it. This guy can write so well and express his thoughts in a concise manner. I love this site so much that I will visit it over and over again. It is a must visit site if you are the type who like a wide variety of topics to choose from. You will never get bored. So go ahead and visit the site. If you like it as much as I did, then you will probably be listing it as one of your favourite sites very quickly.
Brand new find
It seems like I am always on the net surfing for a new topic or blog to read. After searching for what seemed like ages, I ran across this really interesting well written blog which really caught my attention. What really made me damn curious and drew my attention was when someone mentioned gothic otaku girl learning japanese. It seems that she is an artist and geek, working in the information technology field for 20 years now, and also trying to stay politically active. The posts which she has written might seem small, but are very well written and cover a wide variety of subjects. This might be due to the fact the author of this blog is an otaku, designer, photographer, idealist, antagonist, poet, programmer, hobbyist, and much more. It is a must visit site, so full of information and posts of different kinds. It is kinda difficult nowadays to find good quality blogs to visit. I do not really know how I did not notice this fantastic blog before.

Coasters or no use
No matter which table I choose to drink my cup of coffee, I always make sure that I have a coaster handy. It does not matter how careful a person is, those ugly rings always manage to appear and ruin the look of the table. Before, I was not really caring about it and ended up with a table which had a lot of coffee stains on it. then one day, I went to a handicraft show which was being held in a near by and I saw this set of really beautiful set of coasters which I thought I must have. These are small wooden square shaped, black in color with gold trimmings, and a really nice decorative tree in the middle. I got a set of 6 coasters for the dining table. But, I am using it just about every where. Sometimes, they get misplaced and I have to hunt around searching for them. They are also good decoration items and the guests really seem to love them and sometimes they are good conversation items where there is nothing else to talk about.

Is blood thicker than water in politics?
Its election time in many areas, so this question really got me all worked up. What if your uncle was running for the post of president or some other post? You have known him all your life and you seriously do doubt his ability to run the country. Even if the whole family is supporting him, would you vote for him? Well for me it does not matter if one of my relative has thrown his hat in the ring. He won’t get my automatic vote just because he is related to me, even if he is on good terms with me. A president’s job is just too important. After taking a long hard look at all the choices, I would vote for the most qualified candidate even if he was an independent. He should be able to think on his feet and offer good, sound judgements which everyone is willing to obey. If I have my doubts about a relative’s capabilities, then I will not for him. What I am implying is that one should not go by who is related to whom when making decisions which affects a lot of people. These decisions should be based on cold hard facts. The best man/woman should get the position.
The handy connector
Well, look no further and no more need to worry. A company called L-com has just launch the new DB25 connector. It has a screw terminal back for easy wiring. This new DB25 connector is convenient and provides an easy way to perform field termination of any DB25 cable. It has separate connection points for all 25 positions of the connector plus the ground. Its terminal block is clearly marked which allows for simple and quick wiring changes. The gold plated contact of the DB25 provides reliable connections with repeated mating cycles and is panel mountable for thickness up to 0.062”. The fact that no special tools are required is what makes it most convenient for field applications. For further information, you can refer to the press release to find out more on this really handy connector.
What we should learn from others
When people pool their strengths for each other's benefit with no ulterior motives great things are learned. I guess I learned a lot from my elders. Both of my parents were working parents and struggled for us to survive and to make ends meet. I learned that people should give each other strength and help each other to solve whatever problem that may arise. Their will always be trials and hardships that people will have to face. Therefore, a person should be very strong to face the hardest trial that life throws their way. Therefore, I guess I can say that my parents were influential in instilling courage, perseverance, self-discipline, being goal oriented, and kindness towards others, responsible behaviour and for being risk taker. We should go thru trials in life and with the positive attitude. We should always find time to bond and share laughter with each other at the end of the hard day! I think what I am trying to say is that we should learn and pick up the positive attributes from others. Plus a healthy dose of good moral and ethics and the points that were mentioned above will help a person face any challenge that comes his/her way. A person does not need to reinvent the wheel all the time but he/she can apply the wisdom of those whom have come before you. Never hesitate to take guidance from others.
Relief in sight
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be defined as a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain, paresthesias and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand. In other words, the sufferers are not able to work for long hours because of the pain and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand. Sad to say, most cases are without known cause. Prolonged repetitive use of the area by activities like computer usage for blogging, data entry, games, etc. may to lead to such disorder.
The person who is suffering from this disease cannot even lift light items or participate in any activity.
There are many treatments to cure Carpal Tunnel Syndrome like physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage and more. The much better option to alleviate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is to get the smart glove from IMAK. The Smart Glove is one of the products developed by IMAK for carpal tunnel relief. It helps to relieve wrist pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tendinitis, tennis elbow or even pain in the back, neck by encouraging proper hand and wrist position. Some of the features of SmartGlove include washable, breathable cotton, flexible support flint and a massaging ergoBeads pad. Thus we can see that there is a lot of potential for SmartGlove which can be used day long at work or even while blogging to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. So go out and share this valuable information with others.

Internet - The great entertainer
To be honest about it, Internet is true entertainment place for me. It does not let us know that we have been online for a long time and it can help us to pass our time without boring us. It’s a great place for me to get entertained. I really love to spend most of my time online and it is an excellent way for me to socialize at times, connect with friends and relatives and much more.
When you sit in front of the computer with Internet line, using the computer to surf the net, you will discover many entertainment sites are created day by day and 24 hour is definitely not enough to get the full entertainment dose from the Internet. Sometime if you find the entertainment site you like while you are surfing the net, you might get addicted to that certain entertainment site, and it will want you to get update on that site on a periodical basis. For music to movie and game, so many entertainment choices you can get in the Internet. It is the nice place to find new friends, not only in our own area or country but friends from around the world...too.
Internet is surely very interesting. It keeps one busy for hours and affords one many opportunities within the confines of one's home or office. One can do many things online. Whatever your interest, it's online.
The Internet also has its down side also. Many fraudsters use it for their illegal activities. Most of us are aware of scam mails that we receive in our inbox. How many do you receive on daily basis? What we usually fear is that the hackers who might break into our computer without physically getting near it! The net is becoming a fearful place. One must keep up the guard while dealing with others.
Despite the negative side of the Internet, the positive side is much more enormous. The Internet has come to stay and no rational man can imagine what life would be like without the Internet. Its benefits far out weigh the negatives, but only if we follow safe net practices like using a really good anti-virus package and anti-spam package.

Going international
Computers and the net is sometimes a real money saving tools. This I recently discovered when I realized that it can save me a bundle if I want to make a long distance phone call. Not much is need at all. All you need is a computer with a microphone, speakers and of course a net connection with decent speeds. A web cam is optional. Calling over the net is damn cheap. I think this is the future and we all should adapt to this technology as soon as possible. A lot of net service providers like Yahoo already offer these services. I found that if you are spending a lot of time on the phone to make long distance calls, then you'll get a huge bill at the end of the billing cycle. Calling over the net is an excellent option but it cannot always be used. A cell phone has its plus points like....I can take it anywhere. So these days, when I am at home, I will most likely turn on the computer and call over the net and in other situations where the puter is not so readily available, then the cellphone will be used.
Wargames returns
One movie which really I clearly remember was the Aliens series. These series had my imagination going and made me believe that there could possibly be such kind of life out there. But the one movie which really had me hooked was The Terminator. After I saw that movie, I couldn't stop watching it again and again. There was non-stop action through out the movie. It was so utterly believable that robots can acquire such kind of malicious intelligence that they will want total control.
With the movie WarGames hitting the theatres shortly brought back a lot of memories of a bygone era.
It is so hard for me to imagine that it has been 25 years since that movie first came out. It is now a classic movie in its own right.
The WarGames 25th Anniversary event will be playing in select theatres nationwide on Thursday, July 24th. The showing is one night only and will include never-before-seen interviews with film’s creators and the cast (including Broderick and Ally Sheedy) and crew on how the movie was ahead of its time and its relevance today. This sci-fi thriller movie star a young Matthew Broderick who plays a hacker and gets the chance to play a game with the US Military's war computer. Additionally, only at this one night event, get a sneak peek at the making of the sequel – WarGames: The Dead Code. It’s a great movie. Go out and watch it as soon as it hits a theatre near you. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch this great movie.

Modern irritants
For me cell phones are a new form of irritants. They are so annoying at times. Five to six times a day I am getting a phone call which is advertising some service or some new product. I have reached a point where I usually don't pick up the phone unless I recognize the number or I am expecting a phone call from someplace. People should be given an option where they can voluntarily subscribe to these things, instead of being harassed.

I really like to....
Sometimes I like to read a good novel before going off to sleep since it helps me to relax and puts me in the proper frame of mind. This necessarily does not mean that I have to do it right before going to sleep, but I do prefer to be as comfortable as possible when I read anything. I am usually comfortable and really relaxed when I am in bed. It is only when I am relaxed; I can concentrate more on the things that I am reading. It usually pushes out the days junk which has accumulated to such extent that it interferes with sleeping. Reading is a good stimulant for me and sleep usually overtakes me after I read about 10 pages or so and then I just close the book and fall asleep. But sometimes sleep eludes me even after reading for a great length of time. very night though. In these extreme situations I usually switch on the TV and try to find sometime to relax me enough so that I can fall asleep. I guess it is just a matter of habit.

Newspaper vs TV news
OK, this might sound really silly, but I got thinking about it some days ago after I got into a discussion about it with someone. Most of the time I love reading the newspaper rather than watching television even reading from the newspaper needs my full time attention. I think it is the best way for me to gather material since it is able to give detailed information of the things that have happened just recently and you can skip the items which are of no interest to you. But many people prefer watching the news on TV, there is more excitement when you see the videos of the news on TV and also related details of it. This way the person could still do some other tasks like arranging stuff or eating food. I guess it is a personal choice. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Public transport
It's been ages since I have used public transport. You see I have my own vehicle so I never really needed to use it. But with rising gas prices, I think it might be a better option than taking my own car everywhere to save money. The main reason I prefered not to use public transportation was because I have less control over the time and route that I could take. But things have changed somewhatthese days. More routes have been added and the best part is that now I can catch one almost anywhere. The only time I'll use my own car will probably be when I'll be buying the groceries or going someplace where there is no public transportation. It's kinda fun travelling in a bus, since I do not have to worry about driving and parking hassles. The best part I guess is that it's cheaper going someplace when i compare it to my car.
Do you have the looks?
When you walk up to a person, the first thing you notice is how he/she looks. For me, giving out really good first impressions is really important. Remember, people really do judge a book by its cover. To make excellent first impressions you should be well dressed, good grooming, be on time, good manners, and finally do not forget about Victory Hair which can definitely something that can impress anyone.
A lot of people flirt with others using non-verbal communication, such as a lingering smile, changing their body language till they catch the other persons attention, arching the eyebrows after making eye contact, and many other way.
There can be nothing more fun than a subtle game of flirting. I really do not think that a bit of flirting has ever harmed anyone. It can really lift your spirits on any given day and put that bounce in your step. Since I am not very good at it, maybe I should adopt an Ultimate Flirting Championship.
When you use this live widget you can test and improve your own flirting abilities. It is a real fun live game which has a total of 3 players and each of players can create his/her own character to play with. In each game, 1 player is assigned to be the judge and others to be the contestants. The judge gets to ask 5 questions to each contestant and choose the person with the best answer. You can be the judge or the contestant. Sounds fun and exciting right? Well, what are you waiting for? Try it out now and you will soon realise that you have become a pro.

Stuck on the road
Sometime back I had this experience which made me realize the importance of modern conveniences in life. We all had gone out shopping at the local mall since it was a bright sunny weekend. By the time we returned to our cars, the weather had taken a turn for the worse. It seemed that all the rain clouds were ready to let loose at any moment. We hurriedly pushed the shopping cart to our old trusty car, dumped the shopping stuff into the trunk and piled into the car as quickly as we could. Just as we had gone a short distance, it started raining heavily. Driving slowly, we managed to cover quiet a distance before our car sputtered and died on us. No one wanted to venture out in the torrential rain as none of us had any raincoats with us. A couple of guys who were drenched due to the downpour were walking past, when we asked them if they could lend us a hand and push the car to the side till help arrived. We just could not sit here in the dead car and hope that it will start miraculously. We really needed to do something without getting muddy, and wet. It then dawned on us that we had something called a phone with us. It’s like – why didn’t we think of this earlier? We hunted down the number of the mechanic and told him our location. He came over mighty quick and diagnosed the problem as a weak battery and some moisture accumulation in some electrical circuits. Luckily he always carried a spare battery for these emergency calls. It took him approximately 15 minutes to get the car started with the spare battery. If it wasn’t for our cell phone, I think we would have had a much more difficult time reaching home.
Pimp Your Gnome
If you ever feel stressed out and want to take a break from the daily grind, then there is nothing like playing a good game. You must check out this new online game on the block called Dungeon Runners.

I really liked seeing a gnome in a crazy, biker outfit, complete with bling bling and tattoo. As you level up in the game you can obtain a magical Bling Gnome. As you progress through the game, you can feed these Bling Gnomes all your unwanted items that you have accumulated along the way and it turns it into gold (by taking a golden squat of course).

Selected pictures will make it into BlingGnome.com. So, head on over to BlingGnome.com to learn about it all, download and play the free game, or purchase a subscription for yourself. So what are you waiting for? Join the fun now and have the time of your life.

I really like reading
What I really love doing on my spare time is reading. I like reading just about anything that catches my fancy at the moment. Currently I am hooked on books written by Stephen King. He is an exceptionally good writer, since he has an ability to bring words alive. You tend to get submerged in the story and it seems like you are actually part of the story itself. Once I start reading, it becomes simply difficult to put the books down. Some of the novels which I still like till this day are: Skeleton Crew, Different Seasons, Pet Cemetery, Salem’s Lot, Everything’s Eventual. The Dark Tower series are simply riveting. He has managed to keep the story thread line intact and alive thru so many volumes. It’s simply incredible. Just recently I picked up a novel by him called “Duma Key”. This novel is simply riveting. It’s a must read novel. He started thinking in this direction after his 1999 roadside accident that permanently altered his way of thinking about life. The most disturbing source of fear in his books comes from the gradual fading of health and sanity.
Even after all these years, he can still have the ability to scare the wits out of you. If you haven’t read it yet, I won’t reveal the story line to you. If you have then you’ll probably agree with me.
Here's Looking at You, Kid....
I think one of my most favourite Hollywood memorable lines is "Excuse me- can I have your number since I lost mine?” I really like to apply it whenever I get the chance. What is your flirting style? How do you flirt? Did you know V05 has a new game that let’s you test out these lines to see if they work. So, let us head off to Ultimate Flirting Championship website where you can play this really excellent video game. I will really like it if you could visit and play, I am sure you will have a lot of fun and really enjoy yourself, because Extreme Style by VO5 was especially made for this purpose, so that we can really have a blast and get a chance to win Victory Hair So head on over to their site right now and wait for another two players to join. If two girls enter and a guy then the guy is the judge and vice verse. I got to be a judge when I played and it sure was really enjoyable. I had a blast. I was able to choose from a list of questions to ask the players then I got to choose the best lines from those players till we had a winner. I can’t wait to go back and try it as a contestant next time. You should really play and test out some of your own favourite classic lines and see if they work. I had a lot of fun playing, and you should too!
Will you go paid?
Some sites like Classmates or similar sites which promise to help you out in connecting with old school companions. These really irritate me a lot. I am a member of Classmates and Facebook also. I get similar notices stating that someone has signed my guest book only to be told that I have to be a Gold member to view the details. It really drives me nuts. But I will not become a paid member. Then they roll out various options from which I can choose one. I guess that there are many ways to look up a long lost friend and if they are so overcome with grief for having lost me in the first place they will be able to figure something out sooner or later. But Facebook, Linkedin, and a very few other similar sites offers similar services. But totally free as far as I know and at least these two sites are considered one of the safer sites. They also offer total privacy and total security of your personal data. So why go paid? When people become more aware that similar/better services are being offered by other service provider, then they will gradually switch to the free mode.
Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see
Sometimes it is difficult to start a conversation with a total stranger. But you would really like to know the person. Have you ever used pick up lines to get their attention? Ok you might have used one, but what is the worst pick up line you have heard? The worst one that I have heard long time ago was: “Hello friend. You look like you are built like a tank.”. Even though these lines seem funny and can make one smile, they are not a great way to start a new relationship. But if the right lines are said and everything just clicks together, then you have achieved your Victory Hair right on the spot. The Ultimate Flirting Championship is sponsored by Extreme Style by VO5 where you can test your skills with the flirting widget embedded in this post! I would definitely encourage you to visit their website and learn more the techniques of flirting. You will not just learn but you will definitely enjoy the game.
Our field trip
We had gone out on a trip many years ago; our much used and loved old car broke down in the middle of the road leaving us completely stranded. It was a national highway and in this particular afternoon, there wasn't much traffic. There wasn't much help coming even though I looked around everywhere. Just a few trucks and buses plying on this highway and we saw this is one small eatery located nearby where we rested for a bit. The food looked tempting and the owner was willing to make something really fresh for us on the spot. He had even taken the vegetable and the kneaded dough out, but by then we had managed to get the car going. We hopped in and headed back towards town and hunted down a mechanic to fix our car up. Sometime later, we were starving and bought some fruits and ate them as a quick snack. Next time we will be better prepared. Nevertheless it was a fun enjoyable trip.

Internet - Changing how we access information
How has the Internet changed the way you are entertained these days? Does the Internet have more of a role in your household than the Radio or TVs? Has it changed your reading or studying habits drastically?
I really do not know about you, but for me the Internet really has changed the way I look for information. Whenever I am in need of information, I always use the search engines to hunt down the information, where as I used to go to the library before. The Internet has not really replaced my use of books,newspapers, magazines, etc. but it has certainly increased my scope of information opportunities. The Internet has really changed my entertainment habits. At one time, I used to watch TV and listen to Radio for many hours a week, but I hardly ever watch TV programs or listen to Radio anymore.
With the passage of time, technology also changes. Internet has a lot of plus points which has helped me immensely. It has given me the opportunity to access information that I need in the convenience of my home.
