A Sweet Lesson on Patience We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. Cinemagraph Cinemagraphs are still photographs in which a minor and repeated movement occurs. Cinemagraphs, can give the illusion that the viewer is watching a video.
Timeline, Anyone? Hate it or love it, sooner or later, we will all walk along its path. While you’re at it, why not make it worth your while and get the best of the situation. Your “Handy-dandy” Broom! During these hard times, it’s nice to know a thing or two how to do things on your own. Literally, do “things” on your own. Is This the World’s Most Beautiful Face? How do we judge the most beautiful face? This was determined by the scientist of Britain by coming up with a Marquardt’s mask. Marquardt’s mask? What is a Marquardt’s mask?
Living in Harmony
With Wildlife No matter where you live, there are things you can do to keep the wildlife around you safe. All it takes is increased awareness and a few extra moments a day to make a huge difference in the lives of the wonderful animals with whom we share the Earth. Here are a few quick and easy tips for preventing the suffering of wildlife: •
Cut apart all sections of plastic six-pack rings, including the inner diamonds, before discarding them. It prevents birds’ beaks from getting caught in the rings.
•
Rinse out cans, put the top inside so that it can’t cut an animal’s tongue, and flatten the open end of the can as much as possible.
•
Cut open one side of empty cardboard and plastic containers so that squirrels and other small animals can’t get their faces or heads trapped in them.

What’s Not To Like?
M
aybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but if it does not, be content it grew in yours. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.
Maybe... Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Maybe it is true that we don’t know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

THINGS YOUR CELLPHONE COULD DO
T
here are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. You could be hundreds of miles away, but if you can reach someone who has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Emergency Mobile Number
Hidden Battery power
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don’t have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery.
Does you car have remote keys? If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.
To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone:
*#06# A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/ sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
Exasperated with Computers? Think Again!
T
ake heart, anyone among you who believes you don’t know anything about computers -- you “ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.” This is an excerpt from a “Wall Street Journal” article.
• A computer company is considering changing the command “Press Any Key” to “Press Return Key” because of the flood of calls asking them where the “Any” key is. • A technical support crew had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in. • A technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy disk back in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the ‘tech to hold on and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door (to the room). • Another customer called to say he couldn’t get his computer to print anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to print a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and pressing the “Print Screen” key. • Yet another customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his bath tub with soap and water, and soaked the keyboard for a day. Then he removed all the key buttons and washed them individually.
• A confused caller was having trouble printing documents. He told the technician that the computer had said it “couldn’t find printer.” The user said he tried turning the computer screen to face the printer, but that his computer still said: “couldn’t find printer.” • An exasperated caller to Tech Support couldn’t get her new Dell Computer to turn-on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, “I pushed and pushed on the foot pedal, but nothing happens.” The “foot pedal” turned out to be the computer’s mouse. • A woman called help desk with a problem
After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to print a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and pressing the “Print Screen” key.
with her printer. The ‘tech asked her if she was running it under “Windows.” The woman responded, “No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point -- because the man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine.” Tech Support: (reportedly a true dialog)”Bob, press the Control and Escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now press the letter ‘P’ to bring up the Program Manager. Customer: “I don’t see a “P”. Tech: The keyboard, Bob. Customer: What do you mean, ‘P’ ? Tech: On your keyboard, Bob. Customer: I’m not going to do that!!!
TIMELINE, Anyone? Yeah, right! You hate the Timeline... well, hate it or love it, sooner or later, we will all walk along its path. While you’re at it, why not make it worth your while and get the best of the situation. Here are some of the “more” ingenius and creative way of spicing up your timeline. You have to admit it’s great! By the way, there’s a link to a template to make it easier for you. It’s in PhotoShop PSD template only (sorry!), so you gotta have one to use it. Enjoy!

Zurker – The Social Network That You Can Own! http://www.zurker.ph/i-247687-pvyubluqgq
Zurker is a New Social Network Website becoming viral recently. One of the great things about Zurker is that you can own a stake in it. Being a member makes you a co-owner and earn some money, too - practically doing what you like best -- keeping connected! The project isn’t promising anyone to break the bank or turn into a millionaire overnight. Zurker just gives that opportunity. We may or we may not become ultra-rich, but the potential is there! Unless you’ve been hiding on the dark side of the moon, you know about Facebook’s IPO filing on Wednesday last week. The latest figures from Wall Street put the company’s valuation at $94 billion. That’s some serious money! Mark Zuckerberg, the founder, will come out of the IPO with a net worth of about $24 billion, and he won’t be the only one to gain billions.
buying the proposition that Zurker could become the next Facebook. The energy from the memberowners has translated into growth and it shows in their traffic graph. Right now, Zurker has no mobile app, no web widgets, and no developer API. The interface is unique and smart, but a little clunky and unsophisticated. But Zurker founders – they call themselves custodians – make an intriguing point: back in 2004, MySpace was the dominant social network, and Facebook was an unknown little startup that came out of nowhere. Who knows, who knows, Zurker might be the one to dislodge FB!

Flaw and Disorder Now, it’s often important to find out who is to blame when things go wrong. But come on, if you are the one who brought it to you... would you? Seriously? Ha! Ha! Brace yourselves...! Here are some of the winners of the Annual “Stella Awards” for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits in the United States. By the way, the Stella Awards is named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck of New Mexico who spilled hot coffee on herself and then successfully sued McDonald’s. Needless to say, that case inspired the Stella awards.
7th Place: Kathleen Robertson of
Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson’s son.
6th Place: 19-year-old Carl Truman of
Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbour ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbour’s hubcaps.
5th Place: Terrence Dickson of Bristol,
Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He sub-
sisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner’s insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.
4th Place: Jerry Williams of Little Rock,
Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbour’s beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner’s fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams, who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.
3rd Place: A Philadelphia restaurant
was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms.Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
2nd Place: Kara Walton of Claymont,
Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighbouring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the
$3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.
1st Place: This year’s runaway winner
was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons around.

Thinking Out
of the Box
Sometimes the answer is so simple, it’s right in front of us.
A toothpaste factory had a problem - they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the toothpaste tubes inside. This was due to the way the production line had originally been built and installed. Rather than completely redoing the production line, they decided to find a way to detect and stop empty boxes from getting through. So, they hired a top-notch consulting firm to do the job. The consulting firm flew in several of their best production line engineers. Physical measurements were taken and video cameras were setup to monitor the line during normal production. Data collected was then taken back to the consulting firms headquarters for analysis. The recommendation of the engineers and designers was to build and install a custom inline scale, using strain gauges, connected to a computer that will weigh each box coming down the production line. If the box is empty, the computer will stop the line, display a warning message on a screen, sound an alarm, and turn on flash-
ing lights to alert workers to the fact that an empty box needs to be removed from the line. One press of a large pushbutton will restart the assembly line. Unfortunately, the consulting firms in-house prototype shop was booked about six weeks out. So, it was then decided to put the custom electronic production line scale out for bid. Plans and specifications were sent out, along with request for proposals (RFP’s), to several engineering specialty firms, to build the custom electronic scale. Bids were received, evaluated, and the primary contractor selected. Six months and $5,000,000 later, the custom

scale is delivered to the toothpaste manufacturer. Now, when the scale detects an empty box, it stops the assembly line, so a worker can remove it. Pushing a button restarts the assembly line. Included with the scale and new computer is a statistics program that shows how well the scale is doing its job. A month later the president of the company comes by and decides to check on the new scale to see if it is stopping empty boxes from being shipped. While looking at the computer screen he is amazed to find out that NO empty boxes were shipped out of the factory after the custom electronic scale was installed. Also, complaints about empty boxes have stopped. He says to himself, “The scale cost a lot, but it looks like it was worth it.” However, looking closer at the statistics, he is shocked to see that the number of empty boxes picked-up by the scale was zero, after three weeks of production. Puzzled, the president goes down to the factory floor, and walks up to the part of the line where the new electronic scale was installed. After looking at the scale, he notices a portable electric fan blowing across the conveyor belt just before the scale, which suddenly blows an empty box off the line – without stopping the line. He turns to one of the nearby workers and asks, “who put that fan there?” “I did, sir. I got tired of having to stop what I was doing, go remove the empty box on the scale, and then restart the line. Stopping and starting the line was hurting our overall production. Now, thanks to that little $20 fan, no more empty boxes. Good idea, huh?” “Yeah, good idea....”

Your “Handy-dandy” Broom!
During these hard times, it’s nice to know a thing or two on how to do things on your own. Literally, do “things” on your own. Instead of buying, why not “Do-It-Yourself” or DIY as more popularly known. Aside from saving some money, making something on your own, is a great ego booster -- you’ll be feeling good all over. So here’s one now, your own handy-dandy broom. It’s so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you did not think of it first. Enjoy! Here’s the link to the video on how to make your “handy-dandy” broom, just in case!
Is This the World’s Most
Beautiful Face? H ow do we judge the most beautiful face? This was determined by the scientist of Britain by coming up with a Marquardt’s mask. Marquardt’s mask? What is a Marquardt’s mask? If you have not heard of it before then here’s the interesting bit of information about it.
Marquardt’s mask is a set of proportions that most faces have. Accordingly, it says it works for both male and female as well as for all races, eras and cultures. The reason the mask work is because of the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence. The golden ratio has other names you may have heard of such as golden section, golden mean or divine proportion. This ratio is often found in simple geometric shapes like the pentagon, pentagram, decagon and dodecahedron. Now, using this mask and it’s golden ratios, ITV’s lifestyle program Lorraine held a competition to determine who “mathematically” has the best face. One of the rules of the contest is that the contests is all natural - this means no make up, plastic surgery or Botox. To win, the 8,000 entrants have to rely only on their God-given good looks. And, finally (drumrolls!), amidst 6000 public voters and of course the expert judge Joanna Hutton, Superdrug skincare buyer, 18-year-old Florence Colgate was crowned “Britain’s most beautiful face.”

Measurement
The ratio of the distance between her ears to the distance between her pupils is nearly 2:1 — the scientific ideal. Furthermore, the distance between her eyes to her mouth is just under a third of the distance from her hairline to her chin — another measure of perfect pulchritude. “Florence has all the classic signs of beauty,” said Carmen Lefèvre of the Perception Lab at the University of St Andrews’ School of Psychology. “She has large eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and a fair complexion. Symmetry appears to be a very important cue to attractiveness.” Is Florence Colgate the world’s most beautiful woman? Of course, this is subject to many interpretations. But, as science suggests, she just might be. LIKEiT or not...

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90’s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940’s
There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware. ‘Would you carry my bag out to the car?’ she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.
She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness. ‘It’s nothing’, I told her.. ‘I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.’ ‘Oh, you’re such a good boy, she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, ‘Could you drive through downtown?’ ‘It’s not the shortest way,’ I answered quickly. ‘Oh, I don’t mind,’ she said. ‘I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice. I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. ‘I don’t have any family left,’ she continued in a soft voice..’The doctor says I don’t have very long.’ I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her. I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair. ‘How much do I owe you?’ She asked, reaching into her purse. ‘Nothing,’ I said
We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
‘What route would you like me to take?’ I asked.
‘You have to make a living,’ she answered.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.
‘There are other passengers,’ I responded. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
‘You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,’ she said. ‘Thank you.’
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
I didn’t pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?
As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, ‘I’m tired. Let’s go now’. We drove in silence to the address
I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light.. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.
On a quick review, I don’t think that I have done anything more important in my life.

Other parts of the Unwritten Code of the Urinals NO Talking, unless it’s a good friend... but even then, keep it terse and unemotional. This ain’t no clubhouse. I don’t think I need to tell you, absolutely NO touching of anyone other than yourself. A touch of another’s elbow is of the highest offense. NO Singing. Period. Glances are for purposes of acknowledgment only...”Yeah, I see you there. I will not look again”.
Importance of Having
Breakfast
Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death.
Y
ou’ve heard many times that “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast. Why?
Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00a.m.and noon, with the highest incidence being between 8: 00a.m.and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?
platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns, New foundland found that eating a light, very lowfat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fatfree milk.
For those who always skip breakfast, you should start kicking that habit now!!
We may have an answer Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency. However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning
So if you skip breakfast, it’s important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes ,along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice , and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential heart attack or stroke. So never ever skip breakfast.
FACE-OFF: Cure for headaches Ladies - Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. Real Woman - Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink. You might still have the headache, but who cares? Ice Cream Ladies - Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips. Real Woman - Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete’s sake. You are probably lying on the couch, with your feet up, eating it anyway. Potatoes Ladies - To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. Real Woman - Buy boxed mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.
Ladies vs Real Women Cake Ladies - When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake. Real Woman - Go to the bakery - they’ll even decorate it for you. Opening Jars Ladies - If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non slip grip that makes opening jars easy. Real Woman - Go ask the very cute neighbor guy to do it. And finally the most important tip . . . Wine Ladies - Don’t throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze it into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. Real Woman - Leftover wine??

HEART ATTACK PREVENTION TIPS The reported cause of an actor’s death is nightmare or bangungot. Medical investigators in China, Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from “acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis” found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper.
This was a startling finding. In most cases, it wasn’t the noodles that caused nightmares, but dehydration. Imbibing even a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water. It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest. 1. When taking a bath,wet below your ‘pusod’ first not your head 2. When you are really exhausted or stressedd, don’t wet your head 3. Avoid cold foods & drinks 4. Rub hot liniment nightly on your chest
