how to manage the stress in your life

Because we all act and react differently to stress, the mechanism to de-stress remains personal. However, you can take a step in the right direction straight away by following these simple tips.

You can apply these guidelines to your daily routine to manage the stress in your life:

1. Know yourself. You worth your own time. The more you know what stresses you, the easier it will be for you to do something about it.

2. Start your day with a positive thought. Often, the mood for the day is dictated by the first thought that we have when we wake up. Make it a positive one. Verbalise this positive thought by sharing it with someone or simply talking to yourself in the mirror. Apply that positive emotion. Smile at somebody in traffic, be friendly at the workplace and say something nice.

3. Believe in youself. Break past your perceived barriers and have confidence in your own abilities.

4. Stretch three times a day. Make time for yourself to relax for a few minutes every hour. You will find that it inables to focus better on the job.

5. Start exercising and slowly attempt to build this into a routine. Exercise triggers the release of chemicals that counter the effects of stress.

6. Stimulate yourself intellectually. Read, learn or start an interesting hobby.
Crosswords and puzzles are also a good way to stimulate the mind.

7. Manage your perceptions. When things seem to be out of cntrol, step back from the situation. Review the situation, look at your options, your reactions and evaluate if this is the best way forward.

8. Accept what you cannot control. You have control over what you say, do and feel. You don't have control over what other people say, do or feel, though you may be able to exert influence.

9. Control what you can control. You don't have to accept the negative effects of stress on your mind and body. You don't have to agree to do everything you are asked to. You don't have to be overcommited or overworked. Nobody else is in charge of your life but you.

10. Stop worrying! Perhaps, but excellent advice. If you find yourself worrying, mentally tell yourself to stop. Do something small that makes you happy instead.

amazing tshirt slogan - Love vs. Hate

love makes the world go round

If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.

If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him/her, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return, do not take advantage, do not cause pain.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time .

Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you. Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit.

Give it to the world around you in anyway you can.

There is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need. They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who seeks love.

They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into saying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.

Love always has been and always will be a mystery. Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

Finally?LOVE makes the world go round?.

worlds oldest football at world cup 2006 germany


The world's oldest football is being sent to Germany for the World Cup.

The ball is made from a pig's bladder



The 450-year-old ball will form the centrepiece of an exhibition on the history of the sport.

Staff at its current home in Stirling's Smith Museum are preparing the delicate artefact for its trip to the Museum fur Volkerkunde in Hamburg.

The ball was once the property of Mary Queen of Scots and museum bosses in Germany were keen to display it after deeming it the oldest in existence.

"The Germans have decided, from all the evidence, that our ball is the oldest football in the world and it will be the centrepiece of this huge exhibition," said the Smith Museum's collection manager Michael McGinnes.

Royal connection

The 16th century ball is made from a pig's bladder and the cover constructed from pieces of thick leather, possibly deer, and tightly laced together.

Mr McGinnes added: "We can't prove that Mary Queen of Scots played with the ball but it is of that date."

Mr McGinnes will take the ball on a flight from Prestwick to Lubeck Airport, near Hamburg, in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Once in Germany, the ball will receive a traditional Scots welcome by being piped into the exhibition.

It will remain overseas for the duration of this summer's World Cup and it is expected to be returned home in mid-September.

bird flue facts

How to Prepare for Avian "Bird" Flu!
Could there be a pandemic? Find out how you can be prepared! Will there be a bird flu pandemic? The answer is that nobody knows. But here are a few relevant facts:

- So far, very few avian flu viruses have "crossed the species barrier" and infected humans.

- BUT .. of those that have, the H5N1 strain has caused the largest number of severe cases detected.

- In the current outbreaks in Asia and Europe, around half of those infected have died ...

- ... and most reported cases have been children and young adults.

- So far, the H5N1 virus has hardly spead from person to person ...

- ... BUT all flu viruses can "mutate".

- AND ... scientists are worried that one day it might be able to pass quite easily from one person to another.

- This could lead to a pandemic ...

- And nobody can tell when that might happen!

"Specific mutations and evolution in influenza viruses cannot be predicted, making it difficult if not impossible to know if or when a virus such as H5N1 might acquire the properties needed to spread easily and sustainably among humans."World Health Organization 20 February 2006

intresting facts about 911

Please read and do the last part and think how the terrorists communicate each other.........

1) New York City has 11 letters.
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to Destroy the Twin Towers in 1993 has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?!

Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi- jacked planes was 254 which is 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

Now this is where things get totally eerie :

The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from theQuran, the Islamic holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.

"That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

Still unconvinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards:

Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGSIt reads...

Taurus: They are so scared to face others when theymake a mistake that by the time they resurface totender an apology, the damage is done. So Taurans endup making foes out of friends because of their laxityinapologizing.

Gemini : Geminis think they are infallible andtherefore will never really apologise for anything.But once they realize, they prefer to act as ifnothing happened, and behave normally with people whohave a problem rather than remind others of theincident by tendering an apology.

Cancer : Cancerians will make you feel sorry fordemanding one when they make a mistake. They are thelegendary characters that burn hands and slash theirfingers! in order to display the quantum of theirrepentance. Their repentance is dangerous.

banana useful healthy facts

Bananas Facts: Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, "eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

So Dear Friends from tomorrow onwards buy one dozen of bananas and have it in intervals !!!!!!!!

honda accord car $6 million dollar advertisement



This Advertisement for the new Honda Accord was shot in real time with no CGI involved in the sequence. It required 606 takes and cost $6 million to shoot and took 3 months to complete.

The equipment was so precisely set up that the crew literally had to tip toe around the set for fear of disturbing things, which led to some unexpected problems. "As the day went on, the studio would get hotter," says Steiner. "It meant that the wood would expand and the cog or exhaust that spins around would move slightly faster." These tiny changes made big differences to the precision set-up of the equipment

The sequence where the tires roll up a slope looks particularly impressive but is very simple. Steiner says that there is a weight in each tire and when the tire is knocked, the weight is displaced and in an attempt to rebalance itself, the tire rolls up the slope

malaysian man hit with $218 trillion phone bill

A Malaysian man said he nearly fainted when he received a $218 trillion phone bill and was ordered to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution, a newspaper reported.

Yahaya Wahab said he disconnected his late father's phone line in January after he died and settled the 84 ringgit ($23) bill, the New Straits Times reported.

But Telekom Malaysia later sent him a 806,400,000,000,000.01 ringgit ($218 trillion) bill for recent telephone calls along with orders to settle within 10 days or face legal proceedings, the newspaper reported.

It wasn't clear whether the bill was a mistake, or if Yahaya's father's phone line was used illegally after his death.

"If the company wants to seek legal action as mentioned in the letter, I'm ready to face it," the paper quoted Yahaya as saying. "In fact, I can't wait to face it," he said.

Yahaya, from northern Kedah state, received a notice from the company's debt-collection agency in early April, the paper said. Yahaya said he nearly fainted when he saw the new bill.

Government-linked Telekom Malaysia is the country's largest telecommunications company.

A company official, who declined to be identified as she was not authorized to speak to the media, said Telekom Malaysia was aware of Yahaya's case and would address it. She did not provide further details.

worlds best restaurant announced


Spain's El Bulli toppled Britain's Fat Duck as the world's best restaurant in a poll published Tuesday.

The eclectic menu at El Bulli in Gerona, including delicacies such as foie gras with ice cream, curried favor with the 560 international food critics who compile Restaurant magazine's list of the world's top 50 restaurants.

The Fat Duck, where self-taught chef Heston Blumenthal serves snail porridge and grain mustard ice cream, was the only British restaurant in the top 10.

French eateries dominated the top 50 list, with 10 entries, while the number of British top 50 entries fell to six from 14 last year.

"Taking the list as a whole, it's the French who have conquered the globe," Restaurant magazine said in a statement.

The French Laundry, in California's Napa valley, came top in the Americas, while Tetsuya's, in Sydney, was voted best restaurant in Australasia.

Located on a stretch of coastline north of Barcelona, El Bulli is open just six months of the year and is fully booked for 2006.

Like Blumenthal, Barcelona-born chef Ferran Adria's food is considered part of the "molecular gastronomy" school, an experimental approach to cooking.

El Bulli's food is served up as a tasting menu made up of some 20 small courses.

Last year the menu included omelette surprise, melon caviar with passion fruit and mint and parmesan marshmallow.

To allay concerns that the London-based magazine's list was too UK-centric, Restaurant this year appointed panels in 20 regions from different parts of the world, each chaired by a judge.

The top 10 world restaurants, according to the survey, are:
1 - El Bulli, Spain
2 - The Fat Duck, UK
3 - Pierre Gagnaire, France
4 - French Laundry, United States
5 - Tetsuya's, Australia
6 - Bras, France
7 - Restaurant Le Louis XV, Monaco
8 - Per Se, United States
9 - Restaurante Arzak, Spain
10- Mugaritz, Spain

adidas shoes racist cartoon


Sportswear giant Adidas is facing complaints over a new trainer that some say features a racist cartoon image.

The offending footwear includes a yellow picture of an Asian youth with bowl-cut hair, pig nose and buck teeth.
Asian-American groups have complained that the picture on the shoe's tongue portrays an anti-Asian stereotype.

Adidas said it had intended no offence. The image was designed by US graffiti artist Barry McGee who has previously used it in an anti-racist commentary.

The overall trainer was designed for German-based Adidas by US clothing firm Huf.

An Adidas spokeswoman told the San Jose Mercury News that the company "appreciates all self-expression" and "had no intention of offending any individual or group".

'Garbage accusation'

Produced in a limited run of 1,000 pairs, the Adidas "Yellow Series Y1 Huf" shoe retails at $250 (£143).

"It's very sad and disturbing that in this day and age, this stereotype is coming from a large and global company like Adidas," said Vincent Pan, executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action in San Francisco.

The trainer has also been criticised in internet discussion rooms.

Huf owner Keith Hufnagel dismissed the accusations of racism as "internet garbage".

"They should do their studying before they say anything," he added, referring to the image's previous anti-racist use.

Yet Aimee Baldillo of the Asian American Justice Centre argued that "slapping a Chinese face on a sneaker removes it from that context".

She added that the centre had received a number of complaints.

before marriage after marriage

Before Marriage - After Marriage

I get up at 6 a.m.,no matter what time it is.

Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and agoodcook. But the law allows only one wife.

Marriages are made in heaven.But so again, are thunder and lightning.

One woman's hobby is another woman's hubby.

The easiest way to make your old car run better,is to check the prices of a new car.

It's what people don't know about each otherthat makes them such good friends.

If you can't get a lawyer who knows the law,get one who knows the judge.

A man owes his success to his first wife;and his second wife to his success.

I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry.That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste.

A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished.

I'm an excellent housekeeper.Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house.

When a man steals your wife,there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.

Marriage is like a cage;those outside are desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out.

By all means marry.If you get a good wife, you'll be happy.If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher... and that is a good thing for any man.

Marriage is when a man and woman become as one;the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves.After marriage,the 'Y'becomes silent.

Do not marry a person that you know that you can live with;only marry someone that you cannot live without.

I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me.
