We returned together, chatting
We returned together, chatting and laughing to keep up our courage. On reaching home we suddenly realized that the key to house was not with us. We were perturbed and a little desperate. We clung to each other as we made our way back to the beach in search of the key, which had fallen into the sand. The place was deserted and the street lamps were dim. We had almost no hope of finding the key in the vast sea of sand. My sister and I decided that we would try Reiki, while my mother and other sister kneeled down to pray to God.

Remember when your mother said,
Remember when your mother said, "No snacking between meals?" While our parents grew up with the idea that it was best to eat only three meals a day, scientists now tell us that we need to eat more often than that if we want to lose weight. It sounds like a contradiction, but it makes sense when you consider how our metabolism works. In simplest terms, metabolism is defined as the rate at which our bodies convert the energy in food into a form that can be used by our bodies. Did you know that your metabolism is raised after you eat? After each meal, our metabolism is raised while the body gets busy converting food into energy. For this reason, scientists recommend that those who want to lose weight eat 5-6 mini meals per day to take advantage of this fact.
Personally, I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks per day.

Fireman the latest Lubuk Yu victim
Fireman the latest Lubuk Yu victim
0 Comments | New Straits Times, Jul 28, 2010
KUANTAN: A 50-year-old firefighter from Jerantut involved in a rescue operation at the Lubuk Yu waterfalls in Maran last month has become the latest to die from melioidosis and leptospirosis bacterial infection.
Mohd Nor Abidin Ismail, who was attached to the Jengka fire station for the past 25 years, died at Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital (Hoshas) in Temerloh at 3.10am yesterday.
He, the seventh person to die of the infection, had taken part in the five-day search for a drowning victim at the waterfall recreational area from June 26.
State Health Committee chairman Datuk Hoh Khai Mun said Nor died of coronary heart attack caused by diabetes and septicaemia (severe infection due to the presence of bacteria in the blood), which has been attributed to melioidisis and leptospirosis infection.
Nor was warded at Hoshas on July 8 after he showed symptoms of the bacterial infection.
Hoh said there were 21 suspected cases as at 3pm yesterday and three were being treated at Jengka Hospital and another at Selayang Hospital.
However, all four were in stable condition although they were still receiving antibiotic treatment.
Nor's wife, Nor Zakiah Mohd Jusoh, 40, said her husband was transferred from the intensive care unit to the normal ward at Hoshas on Monday after his condition improved.
"He only had a slight fever and I never expected that he would leave me forever," said the mother of seven children, aged one to 22.
Zakiah said her husband was responsible for taking care of the Fire and Rescue Department's equipment during the rescue operation in Lubuk Yu.
"He was not involved in the diving operations. However, he came down with fever after the rescue operation ended on June 30 and was admitted to Jengka Hospital three days later."
Zakiah said she was sad that her husband could not join them to move to their new home in Bandar Jengka, which was completed only recently.
Nor's body was buried at the Kampung Mat Kilau Muslim cemetery in Jerantut about 11.30am yesterday.
Others may disagree with
Others may disagree with you, but you should be firm with what you really want. Others may offer comments or advice, but the final decision is always yours to make. You should concentrate on what you want, not what others want.
Remember you only get one shot at living your life. There are no replays and you don?t get to do it over. You may not necessarily get everything right the first time and you might need a few go's but at least you are having a go. Too many lives are being lived in quiet desperation waiting until ? until they had saved a nest egg, until the children are out of school, until I retire, and they depart this life before ?until? ever arrives.
Don?t go to sleep tonight without making a decision on WHAT YOU REALLY WANT IN LIFE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
Then spend a few days evaluating how to make it possible and make a living at it. Begin living every day as if it were the last day you had ? never leaving anything to be done next week, next month, or next year.
There will always be bills, things will always break down eventually and need replacing, there may be storms and earthquakes and repairs ? but there will only be one life for you to live.

Family's Pounds 1,800 bill for trip home
Family's Pounds 1,800 bill for trip home
0 Comments | Evening Post; Bristol (UK), Apr 22, 2010
A FAMILY of four spent Pounds 1,800 and three days coming home from an Italian holiday, after they were left stranded by the volcanic ash cloud.
The McAndrews from Henleaze went to Naples for a short break last Wednesday, and were due to fly back to Gatwick last Saturday.
But a relaxing holiday turned into a nightmare as soon as they turned up at the airport.
Mum Sally McAndrew said: "The first we knew about what was going on was when we got to the airport.
"We had been sent a few texts asking if we were 'caught up in the ash' but we thought it was a joke about Pompeii.
"The queue at the airport was like nothing I've seen.
"We decided to hire a car in Naples but they would only let us go anywhere in Italy, so we paid 150 euros to go to Turin.
"We got there at 11.30pm on Saturday after a seven-hour drive and slept on the floor."
Mrs McAndrew, 46, was joined on the epic trip by her husband Eamonn, 50, son Ben, 17 and daughter Imogen, 13.
When the family woke up at Turin airport on Sunday, they took a shuttle to the train station and then a five-hour train to Nice in France at around 25 Euros each.
The mum of two, who works as an HR consultant, said: "Nice was a nightmare, there were no cars, no trains.
"There was one car that was supposed to cost 150 euros a day but the manager told us there were only three cars left in the whole of Nice airport so they charged us 750 euros.
"We spent 15 hours in a Fiat 500 going from Calais to Nice, and spent 100 euros on tolls.
"We arrived at 3.15am after stopping for an hour at a service station. " When the family arrived at Calais on Monday morning, there was a freight ferry at 5.30am. They caught that to Dover and arrived at around 7am, before a taxi to Gatwick at around Pounds 200 to pick up their car.
The McAndrews finally arrived home at around lunchtime on Monday. Mrs McAndrew said: "The holiday had cost Pounds 900, which was for a family of four and included hotels and flights."
Most of these
Most of these get rich quick plots, and work from home companies are just con artists looking to scam you out of your money. Most of the time you notice too late what has happened, and that these ads have left out some very important facts. They may have left out the fact that you will have to work many many hours to get the job done, and with out pay sometimes too. Some even charge fees which they do not disclose beforehand in their ads. Lying by omission is how most scams get into the business to begin with.
An unperceived number of work at home companies require their applicants to spend their own money to place newspaper ads, make photocopies, or buy envelopes, paper, stamps, and other supplies or equipment which they will need in order to perform their jobs. Sometimes, these work at home companies may even demand that you pay an additional amount for the instructions or "tutorial" software for training so you will be able to do your job properly.

Dayton dad in custody battle
Dayton dad in custody battle

Stacey Doss' Facebook page contains the most poignant plea imaginable: "Don't let them take my child."
She writes, "I have been put on this earth for one reason: To love my daughter Vanessa."
Since Vanessa came into her life two years ago, one day after her birth, "I've watched her bloom into a happy, healthy, intelligent child. I am her mother. She is my child. The bond is unmistakable. Irreversible. Unbreakable."
Now the 45-year-old single mother from Orange County, Calif., may be separated from her daughter as Montgomery County Juvenile Court weighs a custody case between Doss and Benjamin Mills Jr. of Dayton, Vanessa's biological father.
Mills, 39, has served time in prison for a 2005 domestic violence conviction involving Vanessa's birth mother

Barbaro's death gives pause to how we treat our animals
Barbaro's death gives pause to how we treat our animals
0 Comments | Dayton Daily News, Feb 3, 2007 | by CHRISTY REYNOLDS
Eight months after suffering a devastating injury in the early strides of the Preakness Stakes, Barbaro was euthanized this week.
The colt once favored to win the Triple Crown (a feat last accomplished in 1978) garnered the sympathy of the public as he fought to survive the horrific leg fracture sustained before a stunned crowd that had assembled hoping to witness a high point in thoroughbred racing history. Handmade get-well cards and gift baskets of apples and carrots poured into the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, where a team of veterinarians labored to save the horse's life. Eventually, though, it was just too much. Barbaro's owners made the difficult decision every pet lover dreads: choosing to bear the pain of letting go so that an animal can end his fight.
An outpouring of emotion followed Barbaro's death. He's been eulogized by every major media outlet for his promise as a racehorse, his compliance as a patient and his warmth as a companion.
I listened to one such remembrance as I began my evening commute. The day's radio broadcast was dedicated to honoring Barbaro and mourning his loss.
While I fought tears at the touching tribute, I flinched at a mainstay of my sojourn down Interstate 70: a tractor-trailer hauling livestock to the last leg of their unfortunate lives

We’ll also want tactics
We'll also want tactics that stand a good
chance of moving opinion in that target audience, on the topic
at issue, in the direction of the industry's position..
Fortunately, there are dozens of communications tactics to
choose from: newsworthy announcements, letters-to-the-editor,
news releases, radio and newspaper interviews, brochures,
speeches and on and on.
At this point, we're back to the monitoring mode as we interact
once again with members of the key target audience. With our
communications tactics hammering away, we keep one
eye peeled for signs of target audience opinion shifts in the
industry's direction. The other eye, (and ears) stay alert for
any references by print and broadcast media, or other local
thoughtleaders, to our carefully prepared messages.
Our bottom line is, are perceptions and behaviors within the
target audience being modified? If not, adjustments to both
message and communications tactics - often a big increase in,
and wider selection of tactics -- must be made.
Gradually, you'll begin to notice changes in opinion starting to
appear along with a growing receptiveness to those messages of
yours.

It eats money, burdens the business
It eats money, burdens the business with debt, and makes the business slower to respond to changing market conditions and customer tastes.
Better to be lean and mean, and to make sales. With sales, nearly anything becomes possible. You can even hire an assistant to help you to clean up your messy desk, and to address those pesky items that are suddenly too insignificant for you to personally do, yet which still beg for completion.
You may not know what your top priority is right now, but if you?re lucky, you?ll stumble onto it, and suddenly, everything else will fall neatly into perspective!
Best-selling author of 12 books and more than 900 articles, Dr. Gary S. Goodman is considered "The Gold Standard"--the foremost expert in sales development, customer service, and telephone effectiveness.
