| 10 Easy Weight Loss Tips for the New Year | | 2008-07-01 06:34:59 | | The New Year is here. One New Year's resolution for many people is to lose weight and to keep it off. Unfortunately, for some, this can be such a daunting task that their resolve lasts for a few months at best. The good news is that weight loss does not have to be difficult. With the right mindset, it is possible to lose weight and keep it off. Here are 10 tips to assist in this process.Tip #1: Focus on making small changes each step of the way. For most people, successful weight loss involves not only a diet change, but a lifestyle change as well. Since this can be overwhelming for some, it is best to take baby steps. For instance, instead of signing-up for a full year's membership at a gym, go for a few months or try walking in the neighborhood three times a week for thirty minutes. Once this is done habitually it becomes part of one's lifestyle.Tip #2: Eat 100% organic, virgin, and unrefined coconut oil. There is research which supports this as an aid in weight loss.Tip #3: Eat appl | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |
| | Holiday Weight Loss - Thanksgiving and Christmas Don’t Have To Ruin Your New Year | | 2008-06-11 18:36:47 | | For many people, trying to diet during the holidays is like trying to find the perfect Christmas gift for Aunt Edna: almost impossible. No diet pill or weight loss program can overcome the irresistible draw of fudge, eggnog and candy canes. So what’s a weight watcher to do? Is there any hope for holiday weight loss, or are we destined to add some more pounds before the inevitable New Years resolution?Conventional wisdom is that most people gain from five to ten pounds of fat during the holidays. Happily, that much at least appears to be false. However, Americans do tend to gain some weight during this time of year: “Previous studies suggested that Americans gain an average of 0.4 to 1.8 pounds each year during their adult lives” (source: nichd.nih.gov). What’s alarming is that although we’re putting on fewer pounds during the holidays than we had previously thought we’re not taking that extra weight back off.“Researchers now say they have some good news for us -- and some | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

| Thoughts on New Year | | 2008-05-13 08:54:39 | | Nowadays, it is not with the nature’s call of “koho.. koho..”, but with noise of various merchants that first reminded the arrival of New Year. Still we have managed to preserve our traditional values with our Avurudu celebrations. The New Year is the time when whole family gets together and celebrates. Luckily we are still not confined to the atomic family and every one look after not only their parents but grand parents and other relatives. New Year is the time for those who spent time in the hustle and bustle of the town to go back to their village and enjoy the serenity of nature.Remember our heroesWhile we all are celebrating the New Year with whole families in the South, there are thousands of our fellow youth engage in fierce battle to protect our mother land. If we did not pay our gratitude for them before lighting the traditional oil lamp to celebrate our new year, then we should be ashamed of being a selfish bunch.

| | Chinese New Year Dinners | | 2008-02-17 12:53:54 | | 17 February 2008Today the Istana was open to all Grassroots leaders for a Chinese New Year Garden Party in conjunction with Chinese New Year (of course). Faizah's Father gave us a ride to the Istana, since we both live in the same block.Traffic police lined the road leading to the Istana. We were fortunate to be allowed to drop off there since it's double-zigzagged yellow lined road. We came early as we had a RC dinner later in the evening. However, we were not allowed entry since our MPs wouldn't be here yet. Anyhow, we went to Plaza Singapura for a cup of Mocha Frappucino at Starbucks.We chatted for a while with most part talking about her life teaching in Bedok North Secondary School. When time came, we queued up at Istana for security clearance and then boarded the shuttle bus.A symphonic Chinese Orchestra was performing for the crowd.

| | A Lucky start to an Auspicious New Year | | 2008-02-11 10:48:25 | | Day 3 of Chinese New YearWent to pray at 托塔院 (tuo ta yuan), a temple situated at Geylang. While waiting for my turn to pray to 太岁爷 for blessings, some droplets of red ink sprinkled upon me. 2 drops, each landed on my elbow, with an additional drop on my offerings. Apparently the priest, while stoking the brush in my direction, caused it to happen. The strange thing is no one got it, and when it was my turn to go to the front to listen to the chanting, no red ink either. Could this be good luck (Red = luck)? The fortune cookie that I ate at the temple revealed a message predicting good fortune in investing in blue-chip stocks this year. Cool!My Family later went to Loyang Tua Bek Gong Temple where upon entering, the staff handed to us free copies of newspapers, featuring but of course the sensationalised scandal of Edison Chen.After the prayers, visited Gordan house.

| | New Year and Long Time No Trade | | 2008-02-09 23:36:00 | | It almost been half a year that I have stop trading. After being beaten by the market, I moved all capital from the brokers and sit quietly aside for a very long time. I do not even know what's going on now, though I took some peeks at the chart and news during that time. What I know is the subprime issues hit the market then dollar went down. Need to regather my updates on the market, doing some research and analysis perhaps. I emphasize more on fundamentals rather than technical things as that is my style since last year.Need to regroup and it's time to restart again. Bye. Good trade.

| | Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner at Mom's | | 2008-02-06 21:32:00 | | Everything my mom makes is always amazing. So many people have begged my mom to open a restaurant but she never will. It remains a special treat for loved ones only. This year, she decided on some non-traditional dishes since we'll be having a big banquet style meal tonight as well.First, Fried Butterfish with Pickled RadishesThis cold dish of Surf Clam and Celery is light and refreshing. The hint of sesame oil is a nice accent.We saw this innovative dish last time we went to New Yeah Shanghai and my mom has a knack for taking restaurant creations and improving them. These Pork and Sticky Rice Wrapped in Bamboo Leaves looked better and tasted better.Yum, ox tail stewed in a rich tomato sauce. The picture is a bit smoky since I took the picture right as my mom plated it.These Fried Shrimp Balls were a hit.

| | Chinese New Year Eve 2008 | | 2008-02-06 11:43:19 | | Heralding towards a new year on the lunar calendar...Early morning climbed out of bed and instantly felt the atmosphere refreshing. After reading some course materials, I left for school. The usual crowds and buzz were not in NUS today. Had a very easy time (as well as good spot) to park the vehicle.A lecture must be worth attending to warrant my travelling from the East to the West on a Chinese New Year's Eve. And indeed it is. Prof Hussin Mutalib never failed to entertain the students with his 1)unique poshy accent; 2)self-glorifying professions; 3)lame rhetorics. For someone who had taught the subject for more than 2 decades, he must have some substance. Singapore politics, while it already is intriguing, has become even more exciting and interesting.I was glad to receive an invitation card to the Istana for Chinese New Year Dinner.

| | Celebrate Chinese New Year! | | 2008-02-05 09:06:00 | | Chinese New Year celebrations start tomorrow night and lasts for days. Even if you're not Chinese, you can celebrate as well. Here's a brief outline. Pick and choose the things you'd like to do and modify as you wish. Hey, I celebrate Break Fast but I don't fast.1. New Year's Eve dinner is Wed night this year, on February 6th. Everyone scrambles home to be with their family, usually going to wherever their elders are. So, if you can, go have dinner with your parents and/or grandparents.2. The New Year's Eve meal is supposed to include a wide variety of dishes: a chicken, a duck, a fish, a meat (beef, lamb, or pork), and as many of each as possible. You can order in or make reservations at a restaurant to make things easy.3. Right before midnight on Wed night, eat dumplings. Dumplings are similar in shape to an old form of Chinese money or gold ingots called Yuan Bao and so dumplings are symbolic. You can also fold Yuan Bao shapes with paper.4.

| | My New Year Resolution | | 2008-01-08 14:24:00 | | My New Year Resolution. I want to try do something I have never been able to do in the past years. And that is keeping a promise to myself. Well, basically doing what I plan to do this year so I can reach my goals.1. I want to be able to save money-so I can get things done that I haven't accomplished before.2. Not go shopping as much as I used to...I'll try that even when oftentimes I get the urge to go shopping...LOL. I am addicted.3. Get a computer of my dreams...LOL-I already built one, I just need to pay for it.4. Buy a few things I have been wishing for-a digital cam...I hope so...eheheh.5.

| | | | | Happy New Year from Ibiza Personal Trainer!! | | 2008-01-06 04:43:00 | | Ok, better late than never, lets make 2008 a good one.The usual January rush is on in the gyms, which never ceases to both amuse and frustrate me. Its not really funny, but you know like when you know a pattern intricately, having seen it for so long now, that you can redict to the minutest detail what will happen? ... I can't help but smile.The gyms cant help but smile too, with the amount of yearly memberships they sell to people who only ever come to an average of 3.5 sessions before giving up and never being seen again.It is frustrating because the volumes of gym goers in Jan & early Feb every year reflects the true amount of people who "would like to be in better shape" 80% of whom will do 2-4 sessions in the new Year and then lapse back into apathy about their health & fitness. That I find frustrating in the extreme. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than helping a new client through the initial introdution to working out, losing weight, getting fitter, and seeing someone begin to start to actually like it, and then as the results really kick in, you actually see the lifetsyle shift happen, and people can do it for themselves.Conversely nothing frustrates me more than to see someone start out 110% and fade into a drizzle of excuses, cancellations and the self loathing that must invariably follow until this time next year when it's time to pretend to care enough to do something again.For this reason, whereas I am sure a lot of personal trainers are rubbing their hands looking forwards to the January rush for the new business it brings, this year I've decided to take the (possibly contraversial?) decision not to take on any new Clients at all in January.This year, as we only want to work with people who are serious about wanting to improve their health long term, and we just dont have enough time any more for all introductory meetings, chats & sessions and get-to-knows with people despite every effort on out behalf were never really serious and j | | By: Ibiza Personal Trainer | | |
| | Scandals herald in the Moroccan New Year | | 2008-01-05 06:07:00 | | He took a fancy to Ms Abouali when she appeared before him in court on prostitution charges. When he asked her if she had worked as a prostitute, she answered, "No, but I'd like to do it if it's with you." She was acquitted and climbed straight into the judge's car.- Radio NetherlandsAccording to Karima Idrissi and Nicolien den Boer in a report for the Worldwide Service of Radio Netherlands, the beginning of 2008 was less than a celebration for the Moroccan judiciary. This is an unfortunate setback as at the same time the Moroccan King has been cracking down hard on official corruption and calling for a reform of the judiciary. Our Judicial Affairs reporter Driss Andjar compiled this report.In Morocco, 2008 has begun with a fresh stain on the reputation of the judiciary. An apparently respectable judge was caught with four kilos of hashish. Recently the country has been avidly following scandals involving judges, not just because of drugs, but also sex. The most notable of them centres on a young Moroccan woman, Rkia Abouali (pictured left).According to the Moroccan authorities in the city of Fez, the hashish (known locally as chira) was found in the judge's car. No further details have been released. It isn't the first time a judge has got into trouble because of drugs, though this is the first judge from the south to be discredited. Up to now only judges from the north have been involved, principally because of alleged relationships with drugs barons.The Moroccan government is fighting a virtually futile campaign against drugs barons in the north of the country. Judges often turn out to have been bribed by the underworld. The drugs criminal "Rammach", for example, managed to escape the law by slipping large sums of money to judges. Finally the case came to light and a number of judges were sacked. Rammach was sentenced to twenty years behind bars.And then there are the sex scandals involving members of the judiciary. The most famous of them centres on Rkia | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |

| | The 8 Most Popular New Year's Resolutions for Gamers | | 2008-01-03 12:37:18 | | I will not automatically play games on the easiest difficulty setting...Sometimes the temptation to select the easiest difficulty setting (prior to even experiencing how hard the game actually is) is just too overwhelming. This is especially true when you start to doubt your gaming skills and worry about the possibility of getting stuck indefinitely at some later point in the game. We've all been there, but we all also know the consequences of automatically picking the least difficult game setting: the game becomes too easy. You begin letting enemies wail on you because the damage you take is so infinitesimal, you stop caring about preserving ammunition/items, and you ultimately don't have as much fun because you're not faced with any real challenge. I'll buy more "new games" to support game developers...When you buy used video games your money goes directly to the game store.

| | New Year's Eve | | 2008-01-03 03:17:47 | | Luxembourg is definitely not a city that never sleeps. Au contraire. Therefore, it's always nice to find out that someone is still alive. And kicking (another cliché, or another French expression, and I’ll close this thing down). Mr. Paul Hammelmann, president of Luxembourguish Sécurité routiére, gave an interview to L’Essentiel defending the need for free public transportation in Luxembourg during New Year's Eve (click to read): It all looks like a small domestic war between the government, the city administration, and probably CFL. In vdl.lu we learn that: "Comme tous les ans à l'occasion des fêtes de fin d'année, le service des autobus municipaux interrompra ses courses comme suit:Le mardi 1er janvier 2008 (Nouvel An) le service des lignes régulières ne commencera que vers 08h00."But:"Le service nocturne des autobus «City Night Bus» de la Ville de Luxembourg circule suivant son horaire habituel les vendredi et samedis soirs. Le City Night Bus circule sur les trois lignes suivantes:CN1 P+R Bouillon - Gare Centrale - Centre E. Hamilius - Clausen - Cents et retour, toutes les 15 minutes entre 22.15 et 03.15 heures;CN2 Centre E. Hamilius - Limpertsberg - Belair - Merl, toutes les 30 minutes entre 00.00 et 03:30 heures;CN3 Centre E. Hamilius - Bonnevoie - Gasperich - Cessange, toutes les 30 minutes entre 00.00 et 03.30 heures.Lors du réveillon du Nouvel An (St Sylvestre), dans la nuit du lundi 31/12/2007 au mardi 01/01/2008, le service est assuré jusqu'à 06h30 du matin (dernier départ Centre E. Hamilius)."Good news. Now back to the interview: Where the hell do they find these journalists? How can you use the word "paternalize" when talking to someone responsible for trying to save people's life? "Should we care for those who drink to much, or just let them kill themselves?" What?Blogging in Luxembourg. In engrish. | | By: :u:b:i:k:u:o: | | |
| | Holiday Reading & New Year's Resolutions | | 2008-01-02 23:38:00 | | I made myself a promise today that I'm going to start writing again daily. Take it for what it is. Now that I've moved half way across the world from the east coast things might be a little different than they were before, but it's better than nothing right? Of course it is.I thought I'd start off easy and tell you what I've been reading lately and the books I'd suggest picking up.An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems by Glenn Beck - This book contains chapters of many of the common problems that conservatives care deeply about countered with Glenn's "thinker" solutions. The book is not only common sense thought provoking, but a very funny read as well.Invasion of the Party Snatchers by Victor Gold - If you are a Goldwater / Reagan conservative then you will surely enjoy Gold's scathing indictment of the GOP and how bowing to the neo-con and theocrat base got us where we are today. For the younger generation like myself, this is nothing short of an education.Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart by Patrick Buchanan - Buchanan once again pens an eye opening piece on the decline and likely end of Pax Americana. Pat gives his thoughts on what happened, where we are, and what we must do to protect our sovereign nation and its integrity.Finding Jefferson: A Lost Letter, a Remarkable Discovery, and the First Amendment in an Age of Terrorism by Alan Dershowitz - Dershowitz's discovery of an original hand written letter gives us great insight to Thomas Jefferson and his thoughts upon what the term Free Speech really means.The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin - Toobin's research into this "behind-the-scenes" novel about the Supreme Court and its members is simply riveting reading. Toobin also points out that Conservatives are one nomination away from dramatically changing the history of the Court's rulings.Let me know when you've finished those, I'v | | By: The Dissident Awakens | | |
| | Heat Loses First Game of New Year | | 2008-01-02 20:33:00 | | The spiral towards the bottom of the standings continues. Unfortunately, as the losses pile up, so do the injuries. Dwyane Wade was just getting into his game before colliding with a Buck defender and bruising his already sore right shoulder. This came after scoring 10 straight points for the Heat in the 3rd.Without Wade for much of the 4th, the Heat didn't stand a chance and Milwaukee pulled away for a 103-98 win. Though he wasn't seriously injured in the collision, Dwyane nicked his hand a bit at the end.Mark Blount started tonight in place of the injured Shaquille O'Neal, and had a decent first half. Ricky Davis had a very nice game with 23 points, though unless he plays like this every game, expect him to be on his way out at some point in the not too distant future.Luke Jackson is god-awful.

No offense to him, but he launched up several bricks and airballs when he would have been better off passing to a teammate to help create an act | | By: State of Miami | | |

| | New Year, Clean Slate, Fresh Look | | 2008-01-02 16:52:00 | | New Year, Clean Slate, Fresh Look Sorry I did not write over break, my computer broke and I had no internet access. It’s nice to get in touch with the world again. Happy New Year! What an amazing feeling to know that you have a whole new year to start over. As Natasha Beddingfield says, “Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten.” I am sure you have all made New Year’s Resolutions by now and I hope you are staying positive and motivated. Just a tip, make realistic goals and not too many of them. I looked back on my 2007 Resolutions and saw that one was to “get over my stomach anxiety” and to gain weight. This made me reflect on everything I have been through this past year and helped me to realize just how much I have accomplished. I have learned so much about anxiety, phobias, etc. and hopefully my journey has helped others to find hope and motivation as well. I may never “get over” my anxiety, but I have learned tools to help me manage it which has helped me to heal, grow stronger in my self esteem, and have a happier life. Sure there are setbacks and bad days where I am not panic free, but I will take today over last January 2 any day. The holiday break was extremely helpful for my fried emotions. I did nothing. I sat around all day long in my pjs make-up free and watched TV, sewed, and more TV. Today I may be back at work, but I am more relaxed, more patient, and it feels good. I often need to take a day off from work for this purpose only What are my 2008 resolutions? Besides the obvious baby/parenting ones, all of my goals revolve around finding and bringing more peace into my life by forming good habits. I want to get back into yoga and keep it up consistently. It helps me to stay relaxed and calm more often when I do it regularly, but it’s hard to make time for it when I get home from work and am tired and just want to sleep. So I want to work on that. I want to find a way to stay at peace at work. Whethe | | By: The Reality of Anxiety | | |
