Woman you may want to avoid... or men you may want to avoid
As this was taken from a guys dating guide women may want to change the "she", "her", "women" and so on to "he", "his", "men" and so on...
cheers
1) She falls in love too fast.
When a woman advances WAY faster than most women do, watch out. It may not mean you're "lucky",it may just mean you're dealing with a psycho. Watch out for her either dominating your life completely or falling out of love with you just as fast as the saying goes "Easy come easy go"
2) She treats her family badly...
If she doesnt mind screaming at her mama and call her an old bag then you can expect more screaming and name-calling at you.
3) She likes to blame the world.
Enough dealing with a wet blanket. If a woman blames the world for everything
that happens to her instead of taking responsibility for her actions, you can be sure there'll be lots of drama in your life if you start dating her. Cut the connection before you even start and avoid the "pessimism" flu
4) She's on drugs.
Drugs are bad and will mess up a woman's mind and body, period. Don't get mixed up with the intention of being a lover to help out a junkie. It may cost your wonderful life. Let rehab do their job and you stay away from smackhead.
5) She's an alcoholic.
It's okay to date an ex-alcoholic who's been clean for a few years, but it is NOT okay to date a woman (or man) who is still an alcoholic.
6) She hangs out with the wrong crowd.
You can judge a person's character by looking at theirchoice of friends. So if your new girlfriend hangs around with the wrong crowd, watch out.
7) She plays mind games from the start.
If you can "sense" a woman is playing mind games with you, chances are, she is.
Stay away...or there'll be a lot of drama and hurt feelings...potentially on BOTH
sides!
8) Her income and living space do not justify the lifestyle she has.
A little surprised that she can afford all the nice clothes and makeup when she lives
in a hole or works at a coffee shop? It's a sign that she's a gold digger and has at least one
other man out there who is supporting her.
Always be cautious about women who lifestyles do not match with their income or
home. Even if she is NOT a gold digger, you don't want a woman who maxes out your credit
on handbags and fancy gowns when youget married. (Yes - there are many people
out there who live on credit. NOT good!)
9) Her stories don't match up.
Do her stories seem to not match up? Watch out? She could be a chronic liar.
10) Your friends tell you there are things wrong with the woman.
Friends are usually less-biased than you are since they are not in love with your
girl. If everybody starts telling you how they think your new girlfriend is a slut or a
manipulative bitch, it's time to take a step back and see why they feel that way.
culture preservation vs animal wefare
A gory scene like this could only be seen in Faroe Island. 950 or so long finned Pilot whales will be killed annually here, mainly during summer as part of their grindadráp festival (Pilot whale slaughter).
In this small island, maybe they have had enough of kinky bubble party so they seek for adrenaline-pumping fun activities like this.
Most Faroese consider the hunt an important part of their culture and history but animal rights group as usual hit back by claiming that the hunt is unnecessary and cruel.
Well, I don't bother as long there is ongoing project by the authorities to ensure that the population of the species will not be threatened in near future. For Faroese I dont think they will care as long they could happily whaling while sing along to the chorus line *"Raske drenge, grind at dræbe det er vor lyst"
*Strong young lads, to kill the grind that's our joy
   
Great uses for a teabag around your house
Keep your fridge smell-free - just by popping a few tea bags
inside! Use tea instead of fabric dye. People have been dying fabric with
tea for centuries and it was first used to hide stains on linens. Use
black tea for soft browns and cream colours. Try hibiscus herbal
tea for a soft red. Ward off fleas from your cat's bed. Dry used tea leaves and
sprinkle around his basket or blanket.
The best ever mirror polish for less than 1p! Instead of using
expensive, chemical-laden polish for your mirrors, use a cooled
batch of strong tea instead. Buff dry afterwards with a clean cloth. Use tea to clean your varnished woodwork. Cold brewed tea makes
an excellent cleanser for any kind of wood. Bring the colours back in your carpet - and leave them smelling
fresh as well. Mix tea with salt and bicarbonate of soda and
sprinkle all over your carpet. Leave for half an hour then hoover it
all up.
Kitchen savvy
There are a whole host of kitchen no, no’s that could
literally be endangering your health and as far as I can
see no one seems to know about them. So if you think you
are a culinary wizard and know your ABC of gastronomic
hygiene backwards think again and read on. These simple
tips could save your life!
* Splashing the bird
What’s so bad about washing chicken then? Everyone know
you have to rinse meat to get rid of any germs of
bacteria that maybe clinging to the raw flesh. Well no
and here’s why: By washing chicken under a tap you are
effectively splashing bacteria all over your kitchen
which could result in nasty bugs or contamination of
other food. Experts now say that you should simply remove
the chicken from its packaging and cook to normal
guidelines. Any bugs or bacteria will simply be zapped
away during the cooking process.
* Any old Iron
Iron skillets are all the rage but be careful because by
using one you could be on your way to giving yourself
cirrhosis and arthritis! When you cook food in an iron
skillet the iron rubs off and is added to the food
meaning that you could be getting extra dietary iron you
weren’t expecting. This can lead to ‘aemochromatosis’ a
disease that is associated with arthritis and cirrhosis.
But don’t worry it’s only certain foods that pick up the
iron so don’t bin the pan just yet. Acidic food is 6
times more likely to absorb iron – so only cooking things
like tomatoes or lemon based dishes are a no, no.
* Oil it up
Everyone knows that using too much oil in cooking can
seriously damage your health but nothing is tastier than
a home cooked burger. So how can you cook it without
cooking your heart at the same time? Well it’s simple –
add some finely chopped veg to your burger mix (olives or
peppers are perfect) and cook them with a smidge of oil
in a pan with a lid. This way the veg add some much
needed water and the burgers remain tasty and moist.
* Soaking veg
If you thought you were being clever soaking your
vegetables before chopping them think again! Some
vegetables such as mushrooms are very porous and absorb
too much water if soaked and this will spoil your
cooking. To clean delicate veg like mushrooms brush them
gently with a damp paper towel.

Can savers and spenders stay married?
This is one of the life's toughest question. Just like water and oil, spenders and savers seems in nature do not meant for each other.
But love is also blind. So the question is if both spender and saver meet and fall in love to each other and willing to take the path down the aisle will their marriage last forever?
So the answer- according to Reader's Digest is YES (hooray!!)
According to experts though disagreements over money are leading cause of divorce it does not mean that it will be the end of their marriage. However expect lots of work because you are married to someone who has opposite philosophy towards money than you.
Always talk in terms of "ours" instead of "mine" or "yours" and work to your strength.
The saver should draft the budget and the spender gets to be in charge of holidays and celebrations.
Anyway, just wondering in this testing time of economic turmoil will there be any spenders left?
Who is the most obscenely and grossly overpaid Gorilla in the world?
An American Jew by the name of Richard S Fuld, Jr nicknamed "The Gorilla" for its penchant in weightlifting was the last CEO of the infamous Lehman Brothers and directly responsible for its collapse in September 2008.
CNN named him as #9 in the most wanted culprit for the recent financial collapse (My guess for #1 is Alan Greenspan the previous Fed Chairman for letting the banking sector expand without regulation).
Do you want to know how much this Gorilla worth?
Over USD 500 million even by causing a 158 years old legacy to fall and cost USD 700 billion to the taxpayers.
Solo trip to Egypt (May 08)
I missed sphinx and the pyramids as my trip encompassed for 4 days but I will go there for sure ( I hope the drop in fuel price will further catalyze for cheaper flight ticket :D )
Cairo is an extremely busy city (2nd most populous in the African region and the biggest city in the Arab world) with the population of about 20 million people.   Cairo from the Citadel  a religious festival  The Citadel  Nile River   Part of Cairo
I would like to express my gratitude towards Farizan and Fadhil for being informative and really great tour guides. I was so lucky to stumble upon them when i was browsing around the Citadel.
Special thanks to Mama Steffi and Anne Deike for nice accommodation and food and great hospitality. I would love to visit Cairo again. Maybe next year ;)
The Bear market already on his way
What is more depressing than the realm of possibility that there will be no more innovation after ps3, Nintendo wii and xbox?
Or the nightmare of there will be no more flashy concerts in town?
This seems far-fetched but amid the current stormy weather of global economic such extreme cases might possibly happen.
The deflation, as the economist coined it is the opposite of inflation. Sounds like a good thing isn't it but bear in mind that deflation has its downside just like inflation as well. Deflation cause reduction in money supply and with little amount of money chasing a lot of products will lower the consumer prices thus reduce demand. This in long term will cause productivity to decline and factories have to lay off workers to avoid loss. At worst case factories may have to shut down. This will be the end of the invention of new products and services, if the situation gets worse but lets remain hopeful.
The intricate knowledge within the banking sector may become the things for city slickers only but the general public love to gossip about what has come from beneath the surface especially during times like these. Aside from a lively coffee house debate others already affected may seek for comfort and direction. It is likely that more people will turn up to God in times of harsh condition. The future as predicted from yesterday global stock price plummet seems bleak but this is a painful lesson again to human that the immortal world offers no system invulnerable from defects and mistakes.
Never attempt to speak English in Egypt
You have been warned. Unless you have a reliable tour guide with you who can speak excellent arabic you are exposing yourself to the peril of being "robbed" in the broad daylight.
Well, I don't mean it directly but according to my experience a lot of street hawkers and taxi drivers tend to put obscenely high price for english-speaking tourist. Some people also charged you for photo-snapping ,keeping your shoes when entering mosque and even the tiniest bit of work-finding a place to park your transport.
 Typical scene in Nasr City, Cairo
There are still a lot of good samaritan offering an honest service but what I meant here is for you to be aware of the condition there. If the person looks terribly in the need of financial support dont hesitate to offer tips. Be considerate.
Don't blame the people on the streets because they have minimal power to change the situation. I would blame the corrupted government.
So before you head to the land of the Pharaohs learn arabic or hire a reliable tour guide ;)
How to get a free train ride across Niederrhein
**DISCLAIMER** The writer intends to share his experience travelling in Germany with the readers, though the post title may incite temptation to commit similar action, the writer hopes that the readers will have good judgment to pay the ticket either at the station or on the train. However if any of the readers decide to commit similar action on their trip on the Bahn the writer is not responsible for any misfortune experience by the readers upon getting caught by the officials. 
This is the sample of the student rail pass within the Niederrhein region, Germany. It is so easy to be replicated that it needs only a simple photo-editing software, a plain white paper and a common student printer to make one like this. I got the chance to test the validity of what my friend told me earlier "You don't need even a cent to pay for train ride to Düsseldorf".
