Things That I Don't Understand and Will Not Understand posted on 14 May 2012 in Uncategorised My friends at work are teasing me with this other supervisor whom I had lunch with the other day. My ex-friend was there listening to it all and was saying nothing. And then he started to post in our chat room about certain girls at work and about him officially dating someone but the team wasn't really saying anything about it. One of my friend said how about going out on a blind date with this other friend of mine and he said give me the number and I will call her. I was just there reading his comments and wanted to hurt myself for still feeling jealous. I just don't understand it. Why is he doing these things in front of me? And what I don't understand most is my mind said I am over it but each time he would say things like that I still feel bad. Good thing that I can now manage my emotions now and not show it to any one else I would have died of shame. Good thing I have a good support system just like ebay support especially in the first 2 weeks or I would have broken down. I understand that things doesn't usually end the way how we wanted it to end however, does it really have to hurt this much and this long?

Not a Pretty Girl by Ani DiFranco: a Great Listen posted on 14 May 2012 in Arts and Entertainment I'm a musician and have had some of my own work produced via online mastering, and have a real passion for music. I want to briefly talk about my favourite listens. Not a Pretty Girl by Ani DiFranco has been my favorite album for many years. I first heard the album when I was a sophomore in college. I had recently left a small, suburban town for a larger college town where I knew no one. I was in search of myself and what kind of person I was going to be. I even thought I might be a lesbian. I attended the local gay/lesbian organization on campus in order to meet people and experience belonging. All of the women in the organization were raving about an upcoming concert on campus with Ani DiFranco. I had never heard of Ani, but eager to fit in, I bought my ticket. The concert was in a large cafeteria in the student center that seated about 200. The acoustics in the room were terrible, but when Ani began playing, I knew I was her newest, hugest fan. The words of the album, Not a Pretty Girl, spoke to my experiences and all of the changes I was encountering. The title track was especially profound. I even got the lyrics to the song tattooed on my back in Japanese katakana characters. The other songs on the album awakened a political consciousness in me that I have carried all of these years (17 years) later.

Hello, I Am Returning Your Call, Sorry It Is 3 A.m. posted on 13 May 2012 in Technology I love the fact the government has created a web site to block telemarketers from calling. I have put my mother on it as well. The only problem with the site is that you must renew your number every year. I would also love to see a block on polling. I received 10 calls on voting day to remind me to vote. It was from the Democratic Party in New Hampshire. I got these calls in the morning while I was getting ready to go. I finally got so mad that I told them if I got one more call I was going to vote republican. I went down to the polls and immediately found Betsy Devries and told her to call her office and tell them not to ever call me again. She did get on the phone and called her office. She said she was sorry. I told her if she couldn't control how her campaign used phone list then I don't have much faith in her for senate. The following week my daughter dumped her boyfriend for being too clingy. He has called all times of the day and night for her. I needed to find out how do I block a phone number. Enough was enough. I went on to the Comcast web site and found it was easier than I thought. I just had to type in his phone number and his calls would not ring. I will continue to block him with a stroke of a few keys until he gets the message. I could be really mean and call his parents and 3 in the morning and tell them I am returning their son's call.

Escaping The Rat Race In My Beautiful Home posted on 12 May 2012 in Home and Garden To every person, their house is an escape from the travesties of the world. A place of peace, rest and contentment. A sanctuary. My house, for me, is all this and more. Rather commonplace looks-wise, it is more functional than stylish. It may not look like the concept houses you see on those UK self build programs on the TV, but it suits me down to the ground. The best thing I like about my house is the feeling of spaciousness it gives, with its high ceiling and exposed trusses. The rooms are big. Be it the drawing room, kitchen, bedrooms or other rooms the walls are placed far apart and ceiling above is also placed quite high. End result, no matter which room you are in, there is plenty of openness, light and air moving about the room. The other thing I like about my house is its location. It is near enough to all conveniences like school, market, hospital etc to make life easy, but far enough to maintain privacy. The house is also placed little bit away from the road, so the amount of dust coming from road traffic is really low. Unique features of my house include solar panel on the roof to heat water, a rain water ditch in the side garden to harvest rain water and a bird enclosure which is actually a redesigned old satellite T V Dish. Thanks to the inventiveness of my father in law. The house also has a small pond in front, which has gold fish and turtle living in harmony in it. It blooms with pink lilies and has creepers gracing its sides in a circle. Since the emphasis when building the house was on quality than style, extra materials of everything, cements to iron work was used. The house though twenty years old is able to hold its own against newer ones around the area. The house has straight lines and is hued in light pink with the linear arches having a deep pink color. Inner walls are white in colour and floor is marbled. Windows and doors are of original teak and retain the same colour. Overall my house is simple, elegant, spacious and functional. The design is minimalist and attention is on a lovely green exterior for it.

A Single Mother Perfects The Art Of Balancing posted on 9 May 2012 in Uncategorised Beth along with her daughter Maria, had recently shifted into a new city. She was not happy with her old job and financial situation. So when she received a good job offer in another city, she decided to make the move with her 5 year old daughter. There was a vast difference in the climatic conditions of the two places. Just when they were beginning to settle in, Maria fell ill. She complained of fever and viral symptoms. Beth made her some soup and put her on some home remedies. Nothing seemed to have worked for poor Maria. Finally Beth thought to herself that she should take leave from work and take Maria to the hospital for a checkup. Since she was a new employee, she was unaware of her leave status. She wondered if she was entitled to take parental sick leave. As Maria's condition was getting from bad to worse, Beth called up her manager and updated him about the situation. She was allowed to take the day off. Without missing a single minute she took Maria to the hospital and got her treatment done.

The New And Old Nicholas Cage On Sorcerer's Apprentice posted on 9 May 2012 in Cars and Transport Among Nicholas Cage's film, I love watching him as an immortal guy who's good on magic. He is old in the film but he looks stunningly appealing with his new hairdo and not to mention the pointed leather shoe. The movie has no dull scenes, you can barely close your eyes, not a single moment because you just can't afford to loose a scene. After the film, I and my friend went to pay his driving licence fee. And while doing it we still can't resist talking about the film and how Nicholas' versatility changes from action movie to a complete different scene which is more of a drama and science fiction. I have last seen him do the Ghost Rider but Sorcerer's Apprentice, in my opinion is way better than that. Packed with drama, comedy and magic, all the casts had perform their role accordingly and I wanted the movie not to last when the fight was over. I'm still wanting to see more of Nicholas Cage movies in the future and looking forward to see different roles. He may be immortal and old but never looked grumpy in any way, just the kind of guy a lead artist should be.

A Wonderful Beginning to the Start of Our Lives Together posted on 8 May 2012 in Uncategorised My husband and I have been married for 9 years, but I still remember our wedding day as it was yesterday. We chose to view this as a big "party" to celebrate the beginning of our lives together. The ceremony was at Sutton Bonington Hall - a beautiful country house that made the ideal wedding venue in Derbyshire. We knew that if we viewed it as such, we wouldn't get upset if something didn't go "just right". My husband bought a lovely wedding ring with huge diamonds - and that for me symbolised the everlasting love we were to promise each other (and have kept that promise since then!). We each have 2 sets of parents, as both of our parents are divorced and remarried. Both sets of our parents had not been in the same room in several years therfore it was going to be an "interesting" night. Both mothers are very hard to please and very opinionated. Instead of getting into "disagreements" over what needs to be at the wedding, we chose a place that did everything for us (provided a location for both the ceremony and the reception, the minister, the food, the DJ, and the cake). They referred us to a photographer and we provided the beer and wine, but the place provided the bartender. We gave both mothers each a project to do that ended up as a table decorations and this kept everyone happy. The mothers both felt they contributed and neither one felt left out or that their voices weren't heard. We had an absolutely wonderful time at our big "party," with no feelings hurt and got to have a great start to our lives together.

Always Check All The Accessories While Buying A Phone posted on 6 May 2012 in Technology How does it feel when you buy a new and expensive electronic gadget and you find a problem in that. Sometimes you buy a camera and find out that its flash is not working properly or an Ipod which cannot be connected to your computer. One same incident happened to my friend Titu. He bought a brand new Blackberry mobile phone and was very excited about it. It was actually a very good looking and graceful phone. Titu checked all the accessories like battery, earphone, memory card, blue-tooth set but didn't check the charger. The phone was actually sufficiently charged so that it may be used for one complete day easily. Next day he called me and asked me why is his blackberry phone not charging? I was shocked to hear that. I went to his home after sometime and found that it was really not charging. If it was a common Nokia or Sony phone we would have checked whether the fault is in the charger or the phone. But with blackberry we cannot do that as only Titu was having that phone. In the evening we both went to the shop where we purchased it from. He checked it and found that the charger was faulted. He replaced the charger immediately.

My Little Inner City Courtyard Paradise posted on 4 May 2012 in Holiday and Travel When we moved to our French villa, the courtyard garden was filled with weeds and rubble. It looked sad and neglected, and, I must admit uninviting. At least it did have a shelter which we kept up for birds and wildlift to get some respite from the torrential rain that seemed to come down on a regular basis. However, 6 months later, a transformation. My little courtyard garden is my pride a joy. The weeds pulled up and the rubble piled into skips and carted off to the local refuse site. Two planters, filed with colourful flowers line one wall where once several bins stood and a clematis is slowly climbing up the trellis behind, its bright purple flowers reaching up towards the sun. Opposite hanging wall baskets filled with tomatoes and strawberries spill down towards the ground where cucumbers, pumpkins, peas and peppers wait. There's even a blueberry bush, which I bought with trepidation, but its doing fine and its blue fruit is swelling everyday. As well as all this luscious, self sufficiency pots and tubs containing sweet peas, poppies, fuchsias and bright pink hydrangeas sit, happily soaking up the sun. Add a new shiny bbq and a table and several mismatched chairs and i'm happy.

Electricians can benefit from being on PayPal posted on 24 April 2012 in Business and Finance There are many ways in which we need electricians in our homes to be in a safe place. One of the most risky places of our homes is when it comes to anything that has electrical power flowing on it. The stories that have been in the media about accidents that come as a result of faulty electrical lines. The electricians that were once affordable do not come easily nowadays. Which means that you do not have a choice but to look for them for a long time and be ready to part with a higher amount of money than before. One will, as an electrician benefit from being a member on PayPal since they can receive money for the services they offer you online. When you open an account with paypal as a technician, all the paypal payment that you need will be easily sent to you. Making homes safe is something we should all aim at doing. PayPal is helping this happen by providing a medium where electricians can assist clients so much.

On My Unique And Warm Wooden House Surrounded By Nature posted on 17 April 2012 in Construction and Industrial The house I live in is a fairly big wooden house located in a small town in north Norway called Sunndal. I work for a GRP roofing company and I had hand in the building of this place. The house is located on a small hill that overlooks the rest of the town and the beautiful nature around that area. Green forests combined with the sea and the mountains rising in the horizon guarantee a spectacular view. The house itself is a quite beautiful house as well. I love wooden houses because they always seem so unique and so warm. Especially in winter when everything around is covered in snow. My favorite part of the house is the big porch that offers a beautiful view of the nature around. I also enjoy the big, wide living room that`s perfect for receiving guests, and of course the kitchen, since cooking is one of my favorite hobbies. Living in this house is a real treat for all the people who enjoy the nature, fresh air and calm family life.

How to Do Pinpoint Targeted Marketing Online posted on 14 April 2012 in Internet Related One of my favourite expressions is "website traffic is an expense without monetisation". It means that it's no good just trying to get traffic to your site. An SEO campaign that targets the wrong keywords will give you untargeted traffic. You need TARGETED traffic. Targeted traffic are more likely to spend on your site, or at least pay attention to your advertiser's messages. Many people get obsessed with traffic numbers alone, yet if you get a spike of 2000 visitors from a post made on reddit.com or whatever, it's just 2000 people who won't actually spend money on your site (and likely most have AdBlock too!). A method of getting targeted traffic is email broadcasting. You can get your message out there to a very targeted audience e.g psychologists mailing list if that is your market. It's a much more measured way to advertise than to simply measure "traffic" that may be coming from all kinds of non-specific sources. You can also measure the response accurately of email broadcasting too.

How to build your catering client base posted on 14 April 2012 in Food and Drink Referrals are some of the most effective ways through which catering services are advertised. Some couples who are planning to we simply attend weddings where outside catering is done simply to get referrals that they can use. People judge the quality of an outside caterer by the food that he serves in an occasion like a wedding and then the word on this food expert is moved by word of mouth over a large section of people. Traditional forms of marketing also prove effective where marketing of catering services is concerned. Things like fliers are effective as they offer contacts and location details of a caterer. It is not uncommon to find people jotting down numbers from the fliers as it cannot be known when a caterer's service will be needed. Other forms of media like television and radio can also work and recently the internet has been vital in advertising the services of caterers. With this kind of business there is never enough of advertising so that people can keep on knowing about food and catering services that are on offer somewhere.

Thankful for the Generosity of a Loved One posted on 9 April 2012 in Technology At long last, Liza has finally bought herself something for Christmas. It has been a while since she last rewarded herself with something expensive. For many years, Liza has been spending for a lot of things at home - bills for electricity, water, cable, tuition fees of her younger siblings, allowances for each one also and so on and so forth. Although she had to seek help with ipod touch wifi, Liza is very happy with the purchase she has made. She said that she was surprised because she did not feel guilty at all. She must have felt she deserved it. Her family has no reason to complain also. After all, they know that Liza won't forget to give them special presents, too. But aside from that, they also wanted to see Liza spend her money the way she wants to. They are thankful that all these years, Liza has never made them feel that they are a burden. And because of this, they love Liza all the more. Her sisters promise to return her kindness and generosity when the time comes.

Please Find Me a Really Decent Business Network Online posted on 8 April 2012 in Business and Finance For any of you who have worked in management you are certainly aware that even poor employees are willing to use you as a reference. As such I still have phone calls from recruiters asking about a long gone employee who has used me as a reference. What should I say? Especially if I had fired them. With LinkedIn you are constantly connected to every worker that you have supervised which creates a lot of stress when you refuse to vouch for them. Sure, I do use the network to find service providers for my company - a quick search for graphic design in nottingham the other day put me in touch with an excellent design agency. However, when it comes to these reference checks, sometimes things belong in the past. My question to some recruiters is why are they concerned with a reference from someone that hasn’t talked to the person in years? In other words, how are we supposed to remember? Should we care? The job market is bad and management positions are hard to come by. I do not see any benefit to me using the LinkedIn service and I have recently unsubscribed from the program.

Outdoor Life: the Cheapest Way of Pure Entertainment posted on 31 March 2012 in Construction and Industrial We as human beings often wonder why people are cycling to work when they can just get the train instead. Well here's how I see it. Instead of sitting still and watching time going by, you get to interact with the environment and build up on your self esteem and physical condition. Furthermore, it's all free, which makes it all even more appealing. Even my the water I drink from the big bottle I velcro strap to my bike is free! The environment outdoors lets you clean your head, makes you feel healthier, and if you're lucky you might even be able to develop some skills you never would sitting on a bus or train. In addition, why would you want to go to the movies when you can "make" your own movie by going to the Park? All I'm saying is, even though I realize I can't live without technology, we all should discover the pleasure of doing outdoors activities, and at the same time, save some money during the process.

Lee and His Obsession with Kirsten Kreuk posted on 27 March 2012 in Business and Finance From the kitchen counter I can hear Lee in the living room saying how he adores Lana Lang played by Kirsten Kreuk. I rolled my eyes, men and their hormones but I have to admit Kirsten is one beautiful actress. I was working on the final report on telemarketing services when Jessie came in and asked me to join them in the living room as the movie is about to start. It's a Sunday afternoon and despite the good weather everyone decided to stay at home and have a movie marathon instead. I asked Jessie what movie we're watching first and she said Lee rented a DVD of the movie Eurotrip. It is not popular but since it stars Kirsten Kreuk he rented it without second thought. I smirked and Jessie laughed reminding me to join them in 5 minutes. I nodded and then saved the excel spreadsheet I was working on, shut down my laptop and headed to the living room. I was surprised to find Janice and Mandy in there since they were not the home buddy type.

Getting to Know a Great Girl that is Desiree posted on 24 March 2012 in Arts and Entertainment Desiree is the smartest girl in senior year as far as the University of San Carlos is concerned. You can ask her anything about math or science and she is sure to give an impressive answer. Many of her schoolmates actually think that she is a genius. But the great thing about Desiree is not her superior IQ. It is her humility that makes her stand out even more. You see, Desiree is not the type to brag about the things she is capable of. On the contrary, she uses her skills to help those who are not as intelligent as she is. Carmen is one of the many students helped by Desiree. Aside from introducing her to the so called book finder, Desiree also allocates at least thirty minutes everyday to tutor her in math. Desiree knows that Carmen is among the slowest in class when it comes to math and it was so nice of her to extend a helping hand. Carmen is sure lucky because she has Desiree to push her to achieve more academically.

When It Comes to Google, Bigger Means Better posted on 20 March 2012 in Internet Related I have been using Google for as long as I have used the internet. I've heard it said that Google is too dominant, and they have too much influence on seo practices. I believe the simple reason for that is it's the best. I've used other search engines like Bing, Ask Jeeves and ChaCha but they've never been as easy to use and they usually take longer to find the result I want. It's true that Google is the biggest player in the market, but they got that way by being the best. It usually finds what I am looking for, and I don't have to spend tons of time scanning through to find things. I like Google so much I've even switched to using Google Chrome over Internet Explorer. I also use Picasa, their free photo software, as it makes it so easy to arrange and edit my photos. I love it! I don't think anything could compel me to stop using Google; it's one example where the biggest really is the best.

Framed Album Covers Become Wall Art posted on 16 March 2012 in Home and Garden When it comes to home improvements, I love browsing sites like http://www.homestore1.com/ to get some inspiration. My boyfriend and I collect old vinyl albums of musicians like Johnny Cash, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac. Eventually, we'd like to have a complete wall of our home covered in them. They make such great decor because: 1) They're personal. They tell people about the music you enjoy. Just as people like to display they're favorite books on a bookshelf, hanging these records is another way to show folks a little bit about you just from your decor. And 2) They really do make a splash on a wall. You can't beat the colorful art found on old album covers. Plus, it will be a super easy DIY project for us and as our place is sort of on the small side, this hanging wall art doubles as storage for all our records. All we have to do is slip those record jackets into some classy black frames and, voila! We've got ourselves a fabulous conversation piece.
