One of the first things I do before I go to bed is check out the news on yahoo.com and msn.com. Everyday I find something interesting to read. Today I read a few stories. One of the stories had to do with a software engineer that was outsourcing his job to a person in China for one fifth of his pay.
If you ask me this is a very smart man because while he sat as his desk surfing the Internet and checking his e-mail, while some John Doe was out there in China doing his work for him. I hope he doesn't get fired for being a "smart" man. If you would like to check out the story you can click here.
The second store I read was about a dog that for the past couple of months has been attending mass everyday at the chuch where his owner's funeral was held late last year. This is truly and amazing show of how he is truly man's best friend, or in this case, a woman's best friend. I feel so bad for this dog. He must still be greaving the los of his owner. I you would like to read the complete story you can check it out here.
On a side note I hope to have a preview of the pieces I have worked on for the past months. I seem to have been on a pony and glitte kick lately. I only have about 4 pieces to show. I might even give one away if I'm feeling up to it.

holy moly
I can't believe blogger finally came out with an Android app for blogging. I mean it makes it a heck of a lot easier for me to type or talk to my phone and it types for me. The 1 bad thing I have to say about talking into my phone to type for me is that it doesn't do proper grammar or capitalize anything. Other than that this app is really awesome. There really is a little guy upstairs that really understands me. Mainly what I have been doing lately is watching a lot of Korean dramas trying to learn Korean. today was my first day of school and it was really nerve wrecking just a start that system back up. I also had some fun with my hair today. I got a haircut pretty sure and then I colored my hair blue and purple in a lot of areas. It came out really cool the girl did a great job. If I can figure out how to post a picture through blogger, well through my phone, I guess I will post it up. Well look at that it only took me 3 seconds to figure out how to post a picture on here. This is the back of my head anyways. Okay my peeps tonight I bid you a good night.

If you have any questions, please ask staff in your service or contact the Rents team on 020 3856 6030 or email email@example.com
How do I sign up to a GP (doctor)?
Your first step is to find your local GP or doctors' surgery. GPs work by areas, so you can't be registered at one too far away from where you live.
Use the NHS website to find your local GP.
- Once you have found a GP near you, you need to register. There are a couple of ways you can do this:
Online – many GPs now have online registration. Find your GP's website and if they have online registration, simply fill out their form and wait to hear back from them.
- In person – if you can, you may want to go to your chosen GP and fill in their form in person. Usually the reception staff will be able to help you.
The NHS website also has useful information on what you will need to register and copies of the form you will need to fill out. You can find the information on their website.
How do I get repairs sorted for my home?

Using St Mungo's services

Our skills and employment services are open to anyone who is homeless regardless of whether you are ready for work or not.
If you are interested in this service please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call on 020 7902 7948.
Getting involved with St Mungo's
I have ideas I'd like to give to St Mungo's to improve their services – who do I talk to?
Are there any groups I can get involved with at St Mungo's?
There are many client-based groups. You may want to attend residents meeting in your accommodation project, for example, or one of our diversity networks.
St Mungo's also has two organisational client involvement groups:
- Outside In – this is a group that's open to all St Mungo's clients. Outside In is made up of people who live in our accommodation or use services and who work in partnership with St Mungo's to use their voices, skills, talents and strengths to improve our services.
We currently have Outside In groups in London and Bristol. As we grow in different areas, more may develop across the South and South West.
- Client Advisory Board (CAB) – this is a formal group of clients who meet with St Mungo's Board of Trustee members and directors every six weeks to represent clients, putting forward ideas and concerns and helping to set the agenda for future development. Any client who has used one or more of our services can apply to join the CAB, which is followed by an interview with other members.
To find out more, contact Amy White, Head of Client Involvement, Diversity and Inclusion, at email@example.com
What are the volunteering or apprenticeship opportunities?
Volunteering and apprenticeships are great ways to get involved with the work of St Mungo's and help others who are facing the challenges of rough sleeping or homelessness.
- Volunteering – we regularly open up opportunities for volunteering. You can find out more on our volunteering page.
- Apprenticeship Scheme – our award winning apprenticeship scheme is open to applicants with lived experience of homelessness. You can find out the details on our apprenticeship scheme pages.

You've hit your best drive of the day, long and straight! and You're in a Divot!
What do you do? Cry? Have a whinge? Why me? Call for a Rules Change?
The truth is it happens to all of us. How we respond to the challenge is what's really important. Let's accept what is and gear ourselves up for that challenge.
Glen shows you how to play this Trouble Shot. With a small adjustment to your setup, you can escape from this lie and still achieve a good result.
Remember to sand that divot!
Are You the Best Golfer You Can Be?
hHow do you play from the Collar of Rough?
Picture this ( We know you've been here!)
You are just off the green, thinking you can save par. Then you arrive at your ball, only to find your ball in a terrible lie!
The ball is sitting down and there's thick rough right behind your ball!
Now you're thinking: 'I'm either going to duff this or skinny it right over the green!'
Should you play it back in your stance and try to hit the ball first? Is it safer to putt it?
Check out two other options, which are much more likely to get you back in play and maybe save that par!
Today, the Aussie Golf Pros ask that question:
Imagine a short short from just off the green, with the ball sitting down in the grass. It seems like such a simple shot but we often see club golfers mess it up completely, try to wedge it close.
We could putt it but if the lie is bad, we risk double-hitting the shot.
Steve shows you his great 'Short Game Hack'. Utilising a putting setup, grip and stroke, you can play a delicate little chip, which can get you close to the hole, or in!
The key is in the setup. If we raise the heel of the club, we stand closer to the ball, much like playing a putt. This has the added benefit of using the toe of the club to 'glide' through the grass. It's often the heel of the club, which gets snagged up in the grass, causing the flubbed shot.
The heading 'Escape from Deep Bunkers' says it all. This shot strikes fear into many club golfers, even 'A' Graders! The issue is, we are faced with a short shot, which requires plenty of height and spin and therefore, some power.
A common mistake many club golfers make, is they attempt to 'help' the ball out of the bunker. However, we can adjust our setup to get the club working for us, generating a higher launch and backspin.
With a bit of practice, the player can lay the clubface wide open. We need to align the body and the swing path slightly open as well, to control the direction.
Golfers are amazed at how open we lay the clubface and still get the ball going forward! Commitment is key - we need a long swing with plenty of clubhead speed and a full finish.
We recently received a request from a one of our online subscribers. Brandon was concerned about his casting. These drills show 'How to create 'Lag' in the Golf Swing?'
This is a common question on Golf forum boards around the world today. Being able to create 'lag' in the downswing, seems to have become the 'holy grail of the golf swing'.
Brandon is a good golfer playing to an 11 handicap but tends to mishit many of his iron shots fat or thin.
Brandon's initial start to the downswing is with his upper body. He would love to be able to 'lag' the club and compress the ball more.
Watch the Video Below!
We start off by demonstrating a simple drill to get the feeling of actually swinging the golf club, rather than forcing the shot. The golf downswing is ideally initiated from the ground up, with the hips and torso accelerating before the arms and club. This creates a more efficient kinetic chain ....... and more 'lag'.
The first of the drills is done with a simple golf towel. Because the towel is soft and 'noodle' like, the harder you swing, the more the sequence breaks down. The kinetic chain collapses and there is no compression.
Learning to swing the towel with some rhythm and release is a great way of staying patient on the down swing and achieving the "snap" at impact.
We then move on from the towel to the golf club and introduce the impact bag.
Steve demonstrates the same feeling he had with the towel, now with the weight of a golf club and this time he is releasing the club later into the impact bag.
As you'll discover, watching Steve tackle this lie in the bunker, not every shot from the sand is the same.
The sand in this bunker on the Par 3 17th hole at Stonecutters Ridge, is especially soft and deep! and we made it even deeper! Like our other bunker shots our goal is to splash a shoe-sized portion of sand. However, when the sand is deep, it's very easy for the sand wedge to 'dig' into the sand and absorb most of the club's momentum. With that in mind, many players try to enter the sand closer to the ball. This can work but with small margins of error, it can easily end in disaster.
By utilising the built-in bounce of the sand wedge, we can keep the divot to a manageable size and splash that ball out and onto the green. If the leading edge strikes the sand first, the club digs in and continues on deep into the soft sand.
As we showed you in our last Video, "Is the plugged lie the easiest shot in Golf?" There are a few things you need to change when hitting different bunker shots but some of the swing fundamentals stay the same.
FAQs - (Click on the Question to reveal the Answer)
YES! with every bunker shot we want to turn our chest towards the Target.
We want to split the difference, with the sand being extra soft and deep we have to be careful we don't dig our stance in so deep that the ball sits way up there above our feet. However we do want to secure a solid stance for this difficult shot.
YEP! We had raked the sand so thick and fluffy that I knew I couldn't bury the club at all... So I went to far the other way getting shallow and ball first resulting in some of the best thins out the bunker you will ever see! ( I hope you enjoyed my embarrassing moment)
" Thank you so much for the tips on escaping from the sand. I have always been scared of bunker shots. On Wednesday, I was in two sand traps and I'm proud to let you know I got out of both first time! One of the bunkers had a massive lip too ... Thanks! "
Matt Quinn
18 Handicapper
Aim it at the Bunker, they said! The wind will bring it back, they said! Check out Aussie Golf Pros Video " Don't Do this out of the Soft Sand!"
The Shank! is one of the top answers when asking the Club Golfer what shot they would NEVER like to hit again. You'll likely have hit a 'Shank' at some point in your life. You may have even 'caught' them.
The shank has always been this mystical golfing disease. We're not even allowed to say the word! Quite often, it takes just one S____ to completely unravel a golfer's round, with one socket followed by another.... and another. Suddenly, its 'I've got the shanks!', like they've just contracted the measles.
Maybe they jumped online, asked a mate, or even booked a lesson with a Pro, in search of a cure. I'm sure you've heard all the theories like open club face, closed club face, leg slide and 'over the top'. We took to the web to see what advice was available.... the number of different ideas and drills is staggering and confusing.
Whether these answers are right or wrong, in our opinion is irrelevant... Why? Because they won't cure you!
Watch the Video Below.
The shank is often mistaken for a slice or a topped shot, because of its violent and erratic ball flight. So, what is a shank and what causes it?.... A shank happens when a player hits an iron shot, striking the ball from the neck or 'hosel' of the golf club. Due to the rounded shape of the hosel, the ball can literally go in any direction, often slicing to the 'off' side (right for a right-hander).
There's nothing mystical about the cause of the shot. The golfer has simply swung the iron in a slightly different spot to that which is intended. The clubhead at impact is 2 to 3 cms further away from the player than required and presto! Instant grief!
The simple drill we utilise in the video will Cure you of this dreaded affliction....
How does it work? By providing the golfer with quality Feedback and a dose of incentive thrown in. This drill leads to greater Awareness for the player, which ultimately helps improve Control and Focus.
Self Assessment Quiz
1) Do you now understand why you hit a shank?
2) If you answered No, are you going to get in touch with us immediately to gain understanding! 🙂
1) a
2) Yes!
Please leave a comment or send it to a friend. Sharing our content will help other golfers such as yourself, improve through Feedback and Awareness. After all, that is our goal at Aussie Golf Pros.
Enjoy your golf and continue to ask yourself, Are You The Best Golfer You Can Be?

I have always traveled light during my years as a foreign correspondent. To get in and out of war zones with speed, I carried one small bag stuffed with clothes, an old portable typewriter, replaced in later years by an even smaller laptop - and a book. Only the book changed. My worst choice probably was Hugh Thomas's "Spanish Civil War", which I had with me during my stay in Cuba's Secret Police headquarters during the 1963 missile crisis. I could hear the firing squad at dawn from my cell. With light from a tiny vent in the ceiling, I could just make out the stone walls last letters written in blood to wives and children. It was not a good place to read Thomas' horrific accounts of the massacres and senseless killings in Spain's civil war.
I have been reading another Thomas - Merritt Island resident Al Thomas - during my recent travels through Southeast Asia. His book, "If It Doesn't Go Up, Don't Buy It!", is much more fun. To give a sense of what's in store for the reader, it carries a warning label on the front cover -"Following instructions herein will cause reader to become rich. If you have an allergy to large sums of money, Do Not Read!"
Thomas was a member and floor trader on the Chicago Open Board of Trade until 1981 when he sold his membership so he and his wife, Carolyn, could sail the seas for 2 years aboard their 41' ketch, the Aumakua (which means guardian angel in Hawaiian). Afterwards he founded World Trading Group which grew to be the seventh largest introducing commodity brokerage firm in the U.S., with 35 branch offices from coast to coast. He is now president of Williamsburg Investment Company, trading stocks, options and mutual funds. His book sets out to distill the best of what he has learned from trading in the financial markets for more than 30 years and offers advice on how to make money in mutual funds, stocks, futures and options.
It has been written, he says, for the little guys with a few thousand dollars or more to invest who want to make a good return on their money with maximum safety; a slow, steady 30% to 50% annually over any five-year period.
Along the way, Thomas trashes brokers, mutual fund managers, money managers, and just about every analyst who ever drew a breath. And to all those who have watched their portfolios shrink in the recent market downturn, he warns: Watch out for those brokers who push the "you-are-in-for-the-long-haul" and "the-market-always-comes-back." Retired folk in particular, he says, don't have the luxury of waiting out a decade for bear markets to end.
"If It Doesn't Go Up, Don't Buy It!" was written before this year's spectacular crash in the tech stocks. He believes more than anything else his book will help investors not to do most of the dumb things experts want you to do. He constantly reminds readers that while their brokers may be really nice, honest folk, investors must always remember that their first loyalty is not to any broker, fund manager or family of funds, it's to their own money. That reminder alone is worth the purchase price of the book. I will be carrying it with me when I set off on my next assignment.

An Open Letter To Bud Selig Re: Reinstatement of Pete Rose
The BBWAA Hall of Fame ballots have officially been released. One name that is not among the candidates to be enshrined is Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader.
Some names that will appear on the ballots are names connected with steroid use. There is no forgiveness in baseball, unless your method of cheating was by steroid use. Why? Why is betting on baseball a worse crime? Pete Rose never bet against the Reds so it wasn't like he "fixed" the games to ensure he would win a bet. He lied about his gambling at first, but finally broke down and admitted his wrong-doing. He regrets his mistake. Players like Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro denied any wrong doing despite the evidence that proves otherwise. Roger Clemens will deny his actions till the day he dies and even then, will never admit it. Alex Rodriguez denied reports of his usage, but finally revealed the truth after the evidence was leaked to the press. His reward? He gets to keep playing as if he did nothing wrong. Why? Why does a player that tests positive for steroid use gets to get caught 3 times before he faces a lifetime ban? Why are steroid users allowed to be on the Hall of Fame ballot? Are they not cheaters?
Dear Mr. Selig, I don't understand why Major League baseball has crucified Pete Rose. Sure, he made a mistake. He bet on baseball and that is strictly against the rules. He made a mistake and is truly remorseful. As the Commissioner of MLB, are you afraid to overturn a previous Commissioner's ruling? Why? Is there no forgiveness in baseball?
In light of the steroid era, haven't we learned anything? The steroid users have been glorified. In 1998, fans of MLB enjoyed the greatest homerun race ever. Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire slugged it out and the fans went wild. At the time, we thought we were witnessing history, only to discover that it was all smoke and mirors. In hindsight, it was a major disappointment. Then there's Barry Bonds, who belted 70 homeruns to become the homerun king. Again, it was all an illusion, wasn't it?
Considering the fact that steroids not only tarnished the game, it destroyed the integrity of America's past time. So why do players like Palmeiro get rewarded by appearing on the Hall of Fame ballot? I don't get it. MLB has always taken the stance that baseball is a pure sport, a sport with integrity. Let's face it, baseball has been stained by steroids. Players looked for an extra edge and found it. They cheated, pure and simple. The problem that I have is that if a player fails a drug test, he gets suspended for 90 days or whatever it is. then, if he tests positive again, it's a 180 game suspension. The third offense results in a lifetime ban. So why is it, that Pete Rose received baseball's death penalty for one mistake made after his playing days were over? Pete Rose played the game the way it should be played. He set the example for everyone. He never used steroids or cheated in any way, shape, or form as a player. As a manager, he bet on his team to win. Big deal. Why is his case a greater crime than steroid use? I think there is something wrong with that picture.
Here is my proposal, Mr. Selig. I have an idea that might actually prove to be the right thing to do. I hope that you read this post and seriously consider what I am about to suggest. Why? It is the right thing to do and I am confident that you are a man of integrity. Here's my idea.
Since Pete Rose bet on baseball while managing the Reds, then he should be banned as a manager. However, since Pete has alot to offer, he should be allowed to coach, mentoring young players and teaching them how to play the game the way it was meant to be played and teaching them about the dangers of cheating. Pete Rose should be allowed to participate in the game of baseball in some capacity. He was the greatest hitter ever. Have some respect and give him his due. Pete Rose has paid the price for his mistake and is sorry. He should be forgiven. Perhaps a little forgiveness would bring back some of the integrity that has been lost in Major League baseball.
In addition, Pete Rose deserves to be in the hall of Fame, period! His numbers speak for themselves. His success came the old-fashion way, he earned it. He worked hard to get where he had gotten. He deserves to be on the ballot to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. It doesn't mean that the writers will vote him in, although I think he deserves it. He should at least have the opportunity to be on the ballot. It's time to be a leader, Mr. Selig, and give Pete Rose a reprieve. It has been long enough. Don't you believe in giving people second chances? Steroid users get second and third chances. Pete Rose needs only one second chance and you are the only one that has the power to forgive. There is no forgiveness in baseball, but maybe there should be.
Pete Rose was my favorite player when I was a youngster. He inspired me to play baseball. He inspired me to hustle. He inspired me to dive head first into whatever base I was trying to reach. He inspired me to aspire to becoming a big leaguer some day. Pete Rose was awesome. My very first MLB game was at Riverfront Stadium and Pete Rose was playing third base. He was the reason I wanted to see the Cubs and the Reds play. Rose captivated my imagination and made me realize that a player had to work hard and give 100% all the time. He inspired a strong work ethic in me. Watching Pete Rose chase Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak was unbelievable. Every game was exciting. That was what made baseball so great. He chased the 3,000 hit milestone. Then, the incredible 4,000 hit milestone. He finally broke Ty Cobb's record for most hits all-time. It was amazing. Pete Rose kept me interested in baseball, no, more like obsessed. Pete Rose deserves some credit. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Have a heart and reinstate his eligibility status. It's the right thing to do. If it wasn't for Pete Rose, I would not be the diehard baseball fan that I am today. I hope that somehow you read this, Mr. Selig. I have the utmost respect for you and your integrity and I trust that you will consider doing the right thing. Thank you, Scot Blust.
A Tribute To Sparky Anderson
A legend has passed away today. Sparky Anderson will be remembered for his World Series Championships in Cincinnatti and Detroit, but I will never forget my very first MLB game in 1977 between the Cubs and the Reds. Sparky was managing The Big Red Machine and I got to see the legend with my own eyes. I was only 9 at the time, but even then, I knew that I was witnessing a part of history, a legend.
As a nine year old, I was all about baseball. I lived and breathed it. I collected baseball cards and made trades like a GM would, using my keen insight and intuition to determine what players would hold their value and who I could afford to part with. Back then, I could rattle off every stat for every player at any given time. There wasn't much about baseball that I didn't know at that age. I only wish I could have played the game as well as I would have liked, becoming a professional baseball player was my dream, but that's another story. Anyway, I was really into the Reds at the time. The Big Red Machine was the ultimate team, in my opinion. Sparky Anderson was the Manager, arguably the best in his time. There was something special about him, you could just tell. He was like the grandfather everyone wished they had. I remember having his baseball card and refusing to part with it. It didn't matter that I had duplicates, because I knew that I had something special. I had Sparky Anderson. Well, my child's intuition was correct in that assumption. Sparky turned out to be a Hall Of Famer and deservedly so. When I saw Sparky in person while attending the game between the Cubs and the Reds at Riverfront Stadium, I was in awe.
At the time, I don't think I fully appreciated his managing prowess as I do now, but intuitively, I knew. It was an honor to be in his presence.
Sparky Anderson exemplified what a Manager should be. He was a kind-hearted man and a fierce competitor. He was wise, intelligent, and a keen strategist. He understood the game of baseball and knew what it takes to win. He was a leader and a motivator. Sparky Anderson was beloved by all, especially me, because Sparky was the kind of coach that I would want. Even though I am a Diehard Cubs Fan, have been since 1978, there will always be a special place in my heart for Sparky. God bless his soul. He will be missed.
The Braves In The Land Of Giants, Pandas, Poseys, And Freaks!
It's October and there's a full moon as Atlanta will brave the journey to the land of Giants on this night. The Braves had better beware because there are dangers lurking just around the corner.
In his final season, future Hall of Fame Manager, Bobby Cox, and the Atlanta Braves squeaked into the post-season winning the Wildcard, but are the Braves prepared to face the most dominant pitching staff of the National League?
San Francisco won the NL West with tremendous pitching. In the month of September, the Giants' pitching staff touted a dwarfed ERA of 1.78. During the final month of the season, opposing batters' hit only .182. The Giants will open the series tonight with "The Freak", Tim Lincecum.
The 26 year old, Cy Young Pitcher, went 16-10 with a 3.43 ERA. He will be making his post-season debut. Lincecum led the National League this year with 231 K's. Despite struggling in August, He made some adjustments and finished strong in September where he went 5-1 with a 1.94 ERA. Make no mistake, Tim Lincecum is ready for the Braves.
Atlanta will have Derek Lowe on the mound. Lowe has won 5 consecutive starts and has gone 5-1 with a 1.98 ERA in 8 career games at AT&T Park. It should be a good pitching match up. While the Braves' lineup try to figure out "The Freak", Derek Lowe will try not to freak out when he faces the Giants' hitters, like "Kung Fu Panda", Pablo Sandoval, and Aubrey Huff. The Giants have staked the claim for Rookie Of The Year honors with the emergence of Buster Posey. The Giants' catcher ranked 1st amongst National League rookies with a .305 batting average, 2nd in slugging per centage (.505), 3rd in on-base per centage (.357), 4th in RBI'S with 67, 5th in multi-hit games (38). Posey finished the year with 18 HR's in 108 games played. He is the leading candidate for NL Rookie Of the Year as he helped the Giants overcome a 7 1/2 game deficit in mid-season.
The Giants are 63-19 when scoring first this season and 69-12 when they score 4 or more runs in a game. In addition, San Fran is 61-4 when leading after the 5th inning, attributable to a fantastic bullpen. As a team, the Giants have 37 come from behind wins.
Atlanta lost Chipper Jones earlier in the year, but added players like first baseman, Derek Lee and Rick Ankiel. The Braves have had a road record of 35-46 in 2010 and have struggled as of late. However, in Bobby Cox's final season, the Braves will be trying to send their skipper out on top. It should be a good series. The Braves will need to find an answer to the Giants' pitching staff if they are going to have a chance. We'll see how it goes. Rock on!

Online Appointment Scheduling – Achieve More For Less
Lisa West January 30th, 2011
The capacities of the online appointment scheduling software available today are possibly far greater than most might imagine. Indeed, an online scheduler can achieve many things: Including:
- Improved Organization – Less phone calls to the front-desk gives staff more time to deal with patients and other critical tasks.
- Reduce No-Shows: Increase Revenue – Automated reminder calls to patients can be made on schedule in double time – At least!
Gain control
Online medical appointment scheduling centralises the whole process and can be accessed by doctors, staff and patients 24/7 anywhere. This gives greater control to everyone – Particularly useful for doctors practicing in several clinics as well as those health practitioners consistently on the move: Visiting patients at home for example. Online scheduling services do not require expensive hardware to set up or any on-site maintenance – making them extremely easy to utilise. They are also customisable which means the doctor can control how their patients schedule an appointment.
A Low Cost Option
An online medical appointment scheduler is suitable for anyone working within the Health Sector. Patients can schedule, reschedule and cancel appointments with ease. This means that the onus can be reduced upon front-desk staff to deal with appointment scheduling improving efficiency: Hiring more staff to deal with appointments is high cost in comparison to many of the web based solutions available: And in an increasingly competitive world this can be an important issue – Enabling medical practitioners to improve the services available to patients cost-effectively.
Reminder Calls
Not only can an online appointment scheduler deal with making appointments it can also make scheduled reminder calls – A task which can be omitted if the front-desk becomes too busy. No-shows cost and reminder calls have proven to reduce averages. This means an online scheduler can actually help to create more revenue. Advanced systems can call patients to remind them of an up and coming appointment: They can also send an SMS or email reminder. Patients can reschedule their appointment, cancel or confirm without the need to call your front-desk – Or visa versa: Definitely convenient!
Advanced online scheduling software can be customised to suit the needs of the medical practitioner or practice. Highly flexible they are convenient and cost-effective. Everything you need to keep your scheduling efficient and cost-effective.

CAIRO, Egypt, June 04, 2004 (AP) — The Nile will satisfy Egypt's need for water until 2017, the country's minister of irrigation and water resources said in remarks published Friday.
Mahmoud Abu-Zeid didn't say what Egypt will do after that, but he told the country's leading pro-government newspaper Al-Ahram that Egypt was not in conflict with the other nine states of the Nile basin.
"We have no problems with any of the basin countries," Abu-Zeid said, "our relations with them are excellent."
However, tensions are known to exist. Tanzania, which forms the southern shore of Lake Victoria -where the White Nile begins, has never recognized the 1929 Nile Basin Treaty since it gained independence in 1961. And legislators in Kenya, which forms part of the eastern shore of Lake Victoria, have called for the treaty's renegotiation.
Egypt has repeatedly said it is opposed to any reduction of its share of Nile water, regarding the world's longest river as its lifeline. The average annual rainfall in Egypt is only 7.6 centimeters.
Egyptian officials are taking part in negotiations for a new agreement to share the water. The talks, which began in December, are designed to produce "a new legal framework," according to Meraji Msuya, the head of the Nile Basin Initiative, which is based in the Ugandan town of Entebbe.
In the interview, Abu-Zeid did not speak about what might emerge from the talks.
"Egypt will not face any crises or water shortages before 2017," he said.
Experts have warned that Africa could face water wars in the future if the continent's rivers aren't properly shared.
The Nile Basin supplies water to about 300 million people, 70 million of whom are Egyptians.
The other nine riparian states are Burundi, Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan , Tanzania and Uganda.
The White Nile joins the Blue Nile in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. The Blue Nile begins at a spring in western Ethiopia. From Khartoum, the Nile flows through northern Sudan and Egypt until it empties into the Mediterranean Sea.

Over a million people in the U.S. suffer with Interstitial Cystitis and about 90% of them are females. It is marked by extreme stabbing pains in the pelvis area and frequent urination. In fact, sufferers have reported going to the bathroom 60 times in one day.
Those who are suffering with Interstitial Cystitis usually have a fairly good idea of what foods to avoid but if you've just been diagnosed, then you may need some help. Be sure to speak to your doctor as well. Most experienced urologists will help you put together an eating plan or they may have a list of common foods they can share to help you avoid an IC flare.
Certain medications can also trigger a flare-up, even vitamin and mineral supplements. Each person is different and some people are just naturally more sensitive. Stress can also be a factor, along with hormone fluctuations.
What is an IC Flare?
An IC flare is generally a period of extreme pain with increased urinary frequency/urgency. It can last for several days or weeks. Some flare-ups cause a dramatic increase in symptoms that only lasts for a few hours. Though each case and individual is completely different, most patients agree that certain foods almost always trigger a flare-up. These include:
- Cured meats
- Many types of nuts
- Alcohol
- Coffee-It has acid and caffeine.
- Acidic fruit juices
- Foods that promote yeast, such as sugar, malt, yeast, and vinegar
Coping with IC
Tobacco is also a common known trigger and should be avoided. Most who have suffered with IC for a while, have learned to plan ahead and be realistic about their limitations. Though they can and do still have flare-ups, these are minimized by being proactive and learning some effective coping strategies.
If you have found medications which help, then take those at the onset of an attack to decrease the length of it. Be sure to stop, rest, and take care of yourself and don't feel guilty about doing so. Drink additional water to dilute the concentration of urine. Place a cold pack or heating pad on the most painful area. Take a warm sitz bath, with or without Epsom salts.

The owners of this space have an artful sensibility, making pottery and collecting driftwood and beach glass. Seaside colors are echoed in the the mosaic tile and paint choices. The clients requested bamboo cabinets for its sustainability, and chose a soapstone countertop. Cork flooring was a natural choice to coordinate with the honey tones of the cabinets and adjacent oak floors.
Also see the before and after video.
Above, to better frame sight lines, we built this arched opening to the kitchen (which echoes existing arched doorways). The impulse to open up spaces is natural, but can lead to inelegant ends on cabinet runs (see the before-and-after video at the link above for a demonstration). Like a garden, rooms can actually feel larger when visually separated, to create a sense of "something beyond." It's counterintuitive, but imagine the difference between a long narrow yard that you see all at once, versus a view that is framed by a trellis or hedge.
Above, a steel light rail was fabricated to match the steel visor hood.
Above, the kitchen had always been wired for speakers, now set behind a mesh door over the fridge.
Above, more lift-up doors over the microwave serve as the liquor cabinet.
Below, a doorway in the end wall of the dining room was closed off so we could install a long cabinet and floating shelves to show off the owner's pottery. The dark blue color matches an accent wall in the adjacent living room and the tiled window wall of the kitchen at the opposite end of the space. We used one of my favorite sconces in each corner of this room: $8 black jelly jar lights!

Good Shepherd, Hireling or Wolf - Whom Shall We Follow?
Résumé du sermon de Fr Voigt pour demain, dimanche du Bon Pasteur
Apostasy is the atmosphere prevalent now in the pseudo-Catholic Church which the leaders call "the Church of the New Advent" or "the Conciliar Church". The fact is we must realize that the doctrine of the faith has been changed and that this change is leading the sheep off a precipice that has no bottom. How do we recognize the true Catholic Church amidst all the modernized versions? Consider the leadership style. Birds of a feather do flock together. So the sheep had better study the words and actions of those in high places.
Our Lady warned us that corruption was oozing out of the highest positions of authority. Hence the test of the Good Shepherd: will they lay down their lives for the truth? Truth alone has rights; errors have no substance at all and must be rejected. In writing this I mean to say that only the truth of the Catholic Faith matters in these times. Grasp it and hold onto it for dear life.
Now let's consider the Good Shepherd vs. the Hireling vs. the Wolf:
1. Good Shepherd will die for the truth;
2. Hireling compromises and flees to the safety position when challenged and
3. The Wolf slaughters the flock with error that lead to their death.
Truth: Our Lord Jesus Christ established and wedded Himself to one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church and through that church alone can salvation be found. This means that every other faith vision is heretical and cannot offer its members salvation. If one finds the path to life through the Catholic Church then they can unite with Christ eternally but not otherwise. The Hireling compromises to attain popularity with the powers that be. Let us simply tolerate error and get along. Let us work for peace on earth and forget about doctrine.
Who cares if you are Baptist, Buddhist, Moslem, Lutheran or Catholic - it is all the same?
The Wolf attacks the Catholic Faith with the notion that it follows an ancient thought pattern and truth is relative anyway. It would be better to destroy the Catholic faith and peace will reign on earth.
Our Lady told us that peace is offered to us if we will obey the directive of the Father Who has determined that when Russia is consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Pope and all those bishops and cardinals united with him on a said day in the cathedrals around the world, then Russian would be converted and peace would reign. Mary would be lifted up and exalted as she rightly should be and order would be restored to the world. Holiness would be the gift in a new Marian age.
Will the Pope and our current episcopal leadership be Good Shepherds, hirelings or wolves? They need not listen to the political pouting heard in society; instead, they should listen to the Mother of God and our Mother. Do this and we all shall live? Fail to do this and the scandal of a modernist Church continues to lead souls to hell. What a price we will have to pay because of our silence. We must jealously love and protect the fullness of our faith in all its doctrines.
Now we can apply this leadership to our very little chapels and churches in which adults ought to lay down their lives for their children's faith. Faith is our guide to eternal happiness through the doctrines taught by our Lord. Now when confession is raised the adults, the parents will seek to bring their children while they themselves avoid the grace of this sacrament like a plague. To speak to them about the necessity of example from the elders brings their wrath upon the shepherd. The Good Shepherd will not be silent for the doctrine of the forgiveness of sin is at the heart of our faith. Without the forgiveness of sin we simply become another Protestant sect.
Why is it that Confession has fallen on such hard times everywhere? We do not want to recognize the reality of the effects of original sin. We prefer to think we are sick or there is a missing gene in my DNA structure. No, confession and the examination of conscience lead us to the reality of our nothingness and God's omnipotence and love. This is an age of the denial of God and the affirmation of the man. This age will die and another will replace it in which the confession of sins will be the greatest joy to the Catholic faithful.
May this age come soon to replace the scandal of the seniors upon the children.
In the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
Fr. Richard Voigt

"Jane has lived an ordinary life, raised by her aunt Magnolia—an adjunct professor and deep sea photographer. Jane counted on Magnolia to make the world feel expansive and to turn life into an adventure. But Aunt Magnolia was lost a few months ago in Antarctica on one of her expeditions.
Add To Goodreads
Now, with no direction, a year out of high school, and obsessed with making umbrellas that look like her own dreams (but mostly just mourning her aunt), she is easily swept away by Kiran Thrash—a glamorous, capricious acquaintance who shows up and asks Jane to accompany her to a gala at her family's island mansion called Tu Reviens.
Jane remembers her aunt telling her: "If anyone ever invites to you to Tu Reviens, promise me that you'll go." With nothing but a trunkful of umbrella parts to her name, Jane ventures out to the Thrash estate. Then her story takes a turn, or rather, five turns. What Jane doesn't know is that Tu Reviens will offer her choices that can ultimately determine the course of her untethered life. But at Tu Reviens, every choice comes with a reward, or a price."
New Kristin Cashore... need I say more?

Author: Lauren Barnholdt
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Pages: 288
Release date: June 26th 2007
Genre: Contemporary YA; romance
Source: Bought at The Book Depository
This is Jordan and Courtney, totally in love. Sure, they were an unlikely high school couple. But they clicked; it worked. They're even going to the same college, and driving cross-country together for orientation.
Then Jordan dumps Courtney -- for a girl he met on the Internet. It's too late to change plans, so the road trip is on. Courtney's heartbroken, but figures she can tough it out for a few days. La la la -- this is Courtney pretending not to care.
But in a strange twist, Jordan cares. A lot. Turns out, he's got a secret or two that he's not telling Courtney. And it has everything to do with why they broke up, why they can't get back together, and how, in spite of it all, this couple is destined for each other.
I have no idea how I'm going to justify my 4-star-rating.This book is definitely flawed, and it's not as good as the other books I've given 4 stars to, but I honestly don't care - Two-Way Street is just so much fun!
The humor is what I liked best about this book. The character's voices and especially Courtney's narration is hilarious, just like the way Courtney and Jordan treat each other. The witty comments had me laughing out loud several times.
Courtney is a great character. No, she's not the best-written or most complex character I've ever read about, but she's so, so easy to relate to. Her thoughts and feelings are ones I've experienced myself, and I think other teenaged girls have, too. I don't mean I know exactly what happens (I've never been on a roadtrip with my ex or anything like that), just the way she thinks and handles the situations. Courtney's narration is great and I really liked her.
Jordan, however, never really grew on me. Basically, all he talks about is sex, and that got pretty annoying. At some parts of the novel, he seemed sweet, like the way he cared for Courtney. For the most part, though, he just annoyed me. Especially in the flashbacks, it seemed to me like the only thing he wanted from Courtney (or girls in general) was sex, so I never really liked Jordan. The swearing in Jordan's narration is a little too extreme, in my opinion. I don't generally have a problem with curse-words, but he uses them so often they don't really mean anything anymore.
I'm split on what to make of Courtney and Jordan's relationship since I liked Courtney but didn't really like Jordan. At some parts, their romance is cute, but sometimes I just couldn't enjoy it because of my dislike for Jordan. Courtney's feelings for Jordan and the way she doesn't want to show them are adorable, though.
I love the supporting characters. Again, they're not the best-written ones, but B.E. and Jocelyon are hilarious. I loved their relationship with each other, and also B.E.'s friendship with Jordan and Jocelyn's friendship with Courtney. B.E.'s and Jocelyn's lines are what had me laughing out loud most of the time.
The plot is, well, predictable to say the least. The description makes it seem like there's some big secret. Jordan is keeping a big secret from Courtney, but not from the reader - we find out what the problem with their relationship is after the first few chapters. That made it very easy to know how their relationship would develop over the course of the novel.
I know, I know - what I said in my review is mainly negative, and I did not do a good job of justifying my 4-star-rating. No, if you're looking for something with a deep, meaningful message and great, lyrical writing, Two-Way Street is not the book for you. But Two-Way Street is definitely fun! It's hilarious, and Courtney is easy to relate to, which is always important for me. So if you're looking for a cute, quick read with great humor and romance, Two-Way Street is perfect for you! And really - who doesn't need something quick and fun every once in a while?

When a value is multiplied by itself to give the original number then that number is a square root. Represented by a radical symbol $\sqrt{}$ "Square Root" is often used to refer to the principal square root.
For example, 4 and -4 are the square roots of 16 because 42 is 16.
\[\LARGE \sqrt[n]{x}=x^{\frac{1}{n}}\]
In order to calculate the square root, we first need to find the factors of a given number, then group the common factor together. Group the pairs separately if the factors have any perfect square. The square root of the square of a number is the number itself.
For example, the number 36 The factors of 36 is given as 6 x 6. Since it is perfect square, its square root is 6.
Question 1: What is the square root of 144?
The factors of 144 are given as,
144 = 12××12
$\sqrt{144}=12\times 12$
Question 2: What is the square root of 80?
The factors of 80 are given as,
$80 = \sqrt{4\times 4\times 5}$

When asked after the race if the team had made progress with their chatter issue Stoner pointed to improvements with the rear end, but admitted that a front end solution continues to evade his Repsol Honda squad.
Stoner and team-mate Dani Pedrosa had tried a new chassis during practice at Assen.
"We're still using the same [parts] we've been using all season," said Stoner. "In the last race [at Silverstone] we reduced the rear chatter but we still haven't fixed it. We still haven't fixed the front either.
"We made a small step before the race that improved the front chatter slightly but for me the front tyre still has no stability. When you go in and brake hard it wants to fold or chatter.
"I'm still not impressed at all with the front tyre and I don't think I will be throughout the whole season. But everyone is now on the same tyre so we have to try and find some way to make it work."
"But no, we haven't fixed any problems."
A smiling Stoner also responded "the new Bridgestone front tyre" when asked what had caused the number of accidents seen in Saturday's grand prix.
After laughter in the press room had died down, Pedrosa added: "It's funny, but it's kind of true. At the start of the race a lot of times the front was just closing - in slow corners, fast corners, right or left.
"Any corners, the front just gave up. It seems like not a racing tyre, but we are trying to do our best. I don't know how the crashes were in the race, but I believe from the front"
Stoner's victory saw him level the championship standings with Jorge Lorenzo, with Pedrosa now just 19 points from the top in third.

6 March (Part 1) - The fortnightly Crossrail update
fortnight gone, another Crossrail milestone passed at Abbey Wood.
The past two weeks have seen the first train at the new Platform 1, the old London bound track removed and its platform half demolished.
More concrete has been pumped into the new station and its first support columns are now in place.
All of those things appear in the new set of pictures taken in all sorts of weather conditions and through grills and filthy windows.
The railway contractors' staff have as usual been wonderfully cooperative both with information and putting up with prying lenses. One told me yesterday that the weekend closures will continue through to the summer and probably beyond. I hope he is wrong, there is as yet no confirmation of that on the station. Unfortunately the northern entrance will close on 2nd April. Northerners will have to allow an extra ten minutes to catch their train until the new station opens at the end of next year.

How to use one blog post over multiple channels to create maximum traffic and results - step by step guide
10 Step by Step ways to maximise your blog's results on social media
All too often we at CR4L get asked about blogs: when to post, how to post and most importantly - how to get maximum effect from your efforts.
If you go to the trouble of writing a blog post (and one a week is the by the way) you want it to have an effect. So here we have written out an easy to follow 10 step system to maximise one blog post over social media and multiple channels.
Step 1. Write a great blog post
Find something interesting to talk about and share it. Preferably make it useful too – like this post. People may like it enough to share it with others they think may find it of use. That is one of the key things – offer help and don't just talk about your latest offer or how great your business is*
Step 2. Share your blog post on social media
Leverage the power of social media and spread the word to one and all. Ideally you need followers. But you can't get followers until you have supplied good content. So the content comes first and you will have to build the followers over time.
There are few quick ways to succeed here. If you are looking to get followers you first need to have something to follow – useful posts and content. No chicken and egg here – you have to put the work in to get quality results. For help with this ask CR4L.
Step 3. Quote the post and re-share over at least a week (only around 8% of your followers will see any one post)
Timelines and feeds move so quickly that only an average of 6% of your Twitter followers will see any one post. Therefore you need to repeat important posts each day of the week at different times. Don't make one post your only post; keep variety but you can be repetitive without putting people off.
Here is where you can get good results even if you don't have a lot of followers yet; here are a few top tips...
On Facebook you may not have many likes as yet but you will know pages that are complementary to your business; "like" these pages and then you can post on them (most of them). Tell them about your blog post and quote bits from it. Be helpful and play up the use of reading your post.
On LinkedIn you doubtless will be a member of many groups. Be sure and join groups where your prospects will be. Then post about your blog here quoting it and using the link. Again try to show readers the value of reading your post. Ask for comments and feedback to get the most engagement.
Step 4. Pin images from your blog post to Pinterest
If you don't have a Pinterest account don't worry too much – its bigger in the US that in Europe. However if you are trying to maximise your reach then Pinterest could be useful.
We have found Pinterest very effective for FMCG and to promote products that have a great visual element so keep it in mind. If you can – pin all the images from your post to one of your boards – or create a new board for the post.
Step 5. Create a PowerPoint Presentation from your images and share it on Flicker/Slide Share
Again, not for everyone and you may not use these channels. However if you do this is a great way to bookmark your blog post.
you will also need your PPP for the next steps - so you might as well do this anyway!
Step 6. Use the PPP version of your blog post to create a video
YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world – and its owned by Google. So if you want to do well in searches this is where you need to be.
A lot of our clients struggle to produce videos so this is a great way to get more videos for your YouTube channel. All you need to do is turn your slide show from PPP in to a video and put a voice over on it. You can even read out the blog post as the slides change. It's that simple.
Some titles and maybe some background music would be nice but they are not essential. Just think if you did this for every post every week you would soon have lots of great content on a fantastic and relevant platform.
Step 7. Put your new YouTube Video on your website
Websites with video on them are more than twice as likely to be on page one of Google searches. So once you have created your video be sure and put it on your website. The best place will be your blog and then you can follow steps 2 and 3 again and promote the video across multiple social media platforms.
Step 8. Use the audio from your video to create a podcast
Podcasts seem to have fallen out of favour lately but they can still get a lot of exposure and some people do little else. The author Jay Conrad Levinson (Guerrilla Marketing) uses them and recommends others to do likewise.
Take the audio from your new video and create a podcast that you put on iTunes. You can ten put this on your website and follow steps 2 and 3 again.
Step 9. Use your blog post images to create an infographic
Infographics have become very popular ways to provide information in an easily digestible form. They are also easily shared and get attention.
You can use Photoshop, Publisher or a variety of online tools to create smart and informative graphics. These images are then easy to share and spread around the web. Be sure to include your business name and website in the image itself so that if it is shared your message goes with it.
Once you have created your infographic you can post it on your website. Use it as a blog post and then follow steps 2 and 3 again.
Step 10. monitor comments and engage with your audience
One of the most important things with social media is to engage in conversation. If you can get people to engage and comment on your posts they will do much better and spread further.
Be sure and respond to comments and get back to people who ask questions as quickly as possible. See how the conversation develops and that will also help you to write your next blog post.
*If your business is great then people will see this through the helpful articles and content you create. As here you can see we know what we are talking about so if you didn't want to have to go through all of these steps yourself every week you could rely on us to do it for you with great effect – CR4l Results Marketing

Daily Savings - Wed.August 8th, 2007 at 12:17 am
Today I went to the library to check out some vintage toy value price guides. There is a few that I think I am going to evidently buy on Amazon "used" but for right now the library is working just great.
With the knowledge from the price guides I have been able to identify some vintage toys on Ebay that the seller did know the maker or the worth of the toy.
I think I am going to turn buying and selling vintage tin toys into a small business. It seems that many sellers on Ebay do not want to take the time to research the worth of a vintage tin toy. The information is not easy to find on-line it is mostly in books.
Oh no the horror of actually having to shut down your computer and open a book!

To address pressing health issues, emphasis on global health agenda have been shifted from disease-specific approaches to strengthening health systems to provide quality patient care. The success of running health management systems is highly dependent on the knowledge, skills, motivation and deployment of people responsible for organizing and delivering health services. Therefore, effectiveness and efficiency in the management of today's health systems depend on the well-being of its human resources. The existing crisis of human resource capabilities and non-alignment of existing policies to strengthen health systems is a tragedy in waiting. The study was carried out to determine how socio-demographic factors of health workers affected data quality. Cross-sectional study design was used. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire from a target population of 82 respondents. A one-way ANOVA was conducted to compare effect by the age of respondents on the quality of data with F-value of (224.51) at a p-value of 0.000 which is within the acceptable threshold value of 0.05. Finally, existing human resource policies need to be institutionalized to enhance strategic decision and policy development in improving health systems process design and implementation.
Key words: Socio-demographic, data quality, routine, health management information system.

How a Book Cover Gets Made
Sorry in advance if the next week is going to be book-heavy in content. It's just that I've been working on the book steadily over the past two months and seeing it finally come to fruition is kind of exciting. I promise the blog will be back to normal after next week. Well, Vicki-normal.
Self-publishing means that the author plays the role of every step: writer, editor, publisher, marketer, accountant, and IT web magic girl. Generally, this was really exciting because it taught me more about business in 2 months of concentrated activity than my MBA program has all semester. The downside is that you are alone. Mr. B helped tremendously with editing and web IT magic, but other than that, it was just me and Google.
One of the most important parts of producing an ebook is the cover. It has to catch the eye in two seconds in an Amazon thumbnail. It also has to summarize the book, look professional, and look interesting. All in a couple pixels. Oh, and you have to pick a title that captures the spirit of the entire book as well.
Today, I thought it would be fun to share the iterations I made in creating the book cover because oooo pretty pictures.
My first draft was really serious and rigid. And my title was So Serious. So here's the first cover I made, using one of my own photographs of Loch Ness: Very Franzen, no? I knew I wanted to use blue since it's both a Scottish and Israeli color. It's also my favorite color. I also knew I wanted the Scottish flag in there somewhere, but not to be too blatantly obvious.
Then, right after I decided I loved it, I knew it had to change. Because it's way too much text and no one can see anything. So I picked another image that I'd taken that I really liked, of a statue juxtaposed with Edinburgh Castle. By that time, I'd been struggling with a title for three weeks, and I started brainstorming for something better. You can kind of still see the flag from the previous cover. I was ambivalent about leaving it in. But at least I was loosening up in my writing.
They were all good, but not great. The cover was still too serious for a light-hearted book. So I flipped the horse dude to be contrarian and brightened up the colors. The cover also didn't reflect the fact that I was coming at Scotland from a different angle than other travel books, so I came up with what I thought would be the final cover.
But according to my focus group (Mr. B and Mr. B's mom), it wasn't the best. So I threw everything away and started from scratch. Think, I said. What is this book really about? Once you have a good title, you'll come up with a good cover. I wrote down over 200 words that my book had to do with. I combined them. I looked for pop cultural references. I did this over four days. Then, as I was bitching to Mr. B in the car about how I didn't have a title, he said, "How about 'There's Something about Scotland?'" as a joke. Mr. B came up with my title for me in 5 minutes. It was exactly perfect: playful, short, and evocative of the entire book. I could now design a cover around the title. I saw blue in my head, and for some reason, I knew this one had to be done with all typography instead of pictures.
But I also knew that it had to be a quirky font. The cover was also too light. Too hipster. I tried brush strokes first. Too Amy Tan.
Not quite, but I was getting much closer. I played around with the brushes. Of course! A cloud! Evocative of my entire trip.
Finally, after a couple more passes through, I was done. A cover that caught attention, was playful, and still conveyed the entire spirit of the book, and all in four weeks and over 30 iterations. That was easy. I won't even describe the actual book editing process.

On the train from Copenhagen airport, we got a chance to buy something to eat. This is what we bought: a bun with cheese, a bag of Bilar candy and a cup of coffee with milk.
Let me tell you, a cheese sandwich has probably never tasted so good! And the warm coffee (it was a bit chilly on the train). Anders was so happy to have this type of candy again, last time was in Thailand in December last year.
After lunch, Anders couldn't wait to get out and by some snus, tobaco, that he ran out of about a month ago and have tried different ways to compensate for. Snus is mostly used in Sweden, and is very rare to find abroad. We did see it in Khao Lak in Thailand, but it was extremely expensive, and Anders have had his own stack up till about a month ago. A friend brought some extra after Christmas when we met in Singapore.
Among other things, Anders has tried the local uplifting "chew" in Sri Lanka – a combination of green leaves, beetle nut, cardamom seeds and tobaco leaves that both men and women walk around chewing as a stimulant.
He ended up only using the tobaco leaves, folded together and put it under his upper lip.
Even though it is tasty and so good to have some of the foods and treats we have missed, my stomach has been aching a lot over the past days, so this morning I went for a breakfast I am more used to – rice. I start off with only some rice and coconut oil, and later today I make a curry to go with it. Feels comforting and very pleasurable in the cold.

iPad CSS font magic for social media
- 10 is the classic – amazingly flexible, it ends in zero, and is the smallest round number;
- "Dozen" is 10 for non-geeks. If you skip 6 and 7 you still only need 10 actual items;
- 2 is the minimum you can have and still have a list:
- 2 text editors
- Vim
- 100 doesn't seem like as many as it is. Tests at Yale* show most people act like a list of 100 items is shorter than a list of 37. Plus, you only need to fill the first and last ten, because nobody really reads these unless they're lists of books. If it's a list of fonts, just make stuff up. Nobody knows if Hoosier Phat is a font or not. If it's a book list, fill up the middle with stuff by Dostefeski and Mark Twine. Just make up the titles, nobody's going to read number 37. If someone does notice ("5 lame book lists…" Hey, that's me at number 2!), you'll get more links, and you can make up another list out of it: "3 lame things not to do with a book list: 1) Make stuff up.
- Speaking of 3, it's often a good choice. I usually avoid list posts, but will read a 3 once in a while.
- 5 is the best all round number to use for lists if you can't get to ten. It's prime, but at the same time half of ten, so it's half-round. It's neither too big nor too small. As with 10/dozen, deploy the "half-dozen" only for non-geek content. "A half-dozen platonic solids" will confuse and antagonize your readers.
- 4 is lame. Four? Seriously?
- 0 is the empty list. It's rarely suitable, but included here for completeness.
