one of the benefits andy gets for working at a toyota company is to be able to lease a brand new car at a great price :) so he ordered a brand new scion xA four months ago. it's finally arrived today. customly built to his needs LOL. i can't wait to see it. will have to post more details later on.
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. The next week the man realized that he would need his wife to wake him at 5am for an early flight to Sydney.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he finally wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5am." The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it was 9am, and that he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woken him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.. it said, "It is 5am, wake up!"
just reminded me while listening to this song that there used to be an extremely funny flash made for it. it's funnier if you know chinese but you will understand even if you don't know chinese :)
it's strange. there are many happy things recently. i mean i got a promotion; andy got his new car; we are having a reception soon. but i'm not happy? (Read More)
some weirdo from the university i graduated just called me AT WORK to ask if i just paid her? WTH? the conversation went like:
me: this is Ying
her: Hi, I'm __ __ from the University of Iowa. Did you just call and make a payment?
me: No, that's not me.
her: is your last name "Zhang"
me: yes
her: is your first name spelt "FANG"
me: no. my first name is spelt "YING"
her: ok. you sure you didn't just call and make a payment?
me: yes. i'm sure!!!!!!
her: ok. i'm sorry.
o.O
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? i have several profound questions. most important of all is how did she find my work number?? o.O?? it's not like i told the school where i worked........... and if i DID call her a second ago, wouldn't she recognize the voice? ok let's assume i did have the EXACT SAME voice as the person who called her. telling her that NO I DID NOT JUST CALL YOU isn't enough? like i wouldn't know if i made a call a second ago or not?
just browsing ratemyprofessors for fun. it's scary i can barely remember many. there are those who stand out. a lot of them i can remember their faces but not names. and then there are those you just don't remember..... weird.
we've been taking reliv for a month now. i have to say it's a very great product. the guy who sold us the product wants us to join the business too by selling our own. i don't think it's a bad idea. it's a great product. for us the benefit is not as crystal clear as others since we never have serious health problems. but for those who have this and that pain, it seems great nurtrition helps a lot. the thing that sets it apart from regular vitamins is the absorption. regular vitamins get absorbed by your body 20-30% and this product is absorbed 80-90%. the forumla is not to guarantee the minimum, it's made for optimal daily intake.
the product comes in powder form. you mix it with your favorite drink and takes it twice a day. i want to lose some weight before the wedding. so for the past month, i take "the shake" as we call it in the morning as breakfast. then eat some yogurt for lunch. i exercise for 30 minutes at night on an elliptical and bowflex. i have a vegetarian dinner mostly and then take the shake one more time before i go to sleep.
i didn't really lose that much weight (2-3lb) but it makes me feel great. i haven't had any sleeping problem lately. i've struggled with falling sleep for so long. i tried so many different herb, sleeping pills etc. it seems a well organized daily rountine and good nurtrition is all it takes.
so if you are interested in the product, drop me a note. i will get you more information :) if you are interested in hearing some successful health stories with this product, call 913-385-6399. all products feature a money-back guarantee.
Like you, I love Firefox for many reasons, including popup blocking. So over the last few weeks I’ve been surprised to see occasional popups.
It turns out that some clever people figured out that you could launch popups from Flash, getting around the Firefox default settings.
Fortunately, you can get around it:
1. Type about:config into the Firefox location bar.
2. Right-click on the page and select New and then Integer.
3. Name it privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
4. Set the value to 2.
The possible values are:
* 0: Allow all popups from plugins.
* 1: Allow popups, but limit them to dom.popup_maximum.
* 2: Block popups from plugins.
* 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites. credit
Timeleft is a small program with tons of flexibility and great options to keep you on schedule. Here's what the Timleft countdown timer has to offer: Reminder, Countdown, Stopwatch, Clock, Time Synchronization, Message Window and it Can open websites and folders as a reminder option.
On top of all these options you can completely change the way the title acts and looks with a staggering amount of configurable settings, for a free timer program. Nestedoft's site has a FAQ's section, and there is an accommodating Help file, and even a tutorial in the program. As a matter of fact I just set it to open up an audio file when my lunch is over, and open up the Worldstart homepage—worked perfectly.
If you need a little something to keep you on track, you should find the Timeleft a real lifesaver.
First, a good majority of you might know about the "msconfig/Startup tab" or "services.msc" methods to view programs that autorun. The interface is a little tough to understand and can make the unchecking a program set to auto-run a stressful affair.
But what makes Autorun really stand out over more traditional ways of managing your autostart processes is that it breaks down the processes into easy to understand and manageable information. Not only does Autoruns show you your startup programs, but also in what order they are processed, and what processes and registry entries are part of the same program. You can also toggle between all and non-Windows applications and services, which is a really nice feature (I always wondered why msconfig didn't have this).
One day, a kid attended his kindergarden class with a frown on his face. Disturbed by his sad countenance, the teacher walked up to the boy and asked him, "What's wrong?"
The boy replied, "I saw a dead cat today."
Curious yet eager to cheer the child up, the teacher inquired, "How did you know the cat was dead? Maybe it was sleeping and enjoying its dream."
"I knew it was dead because I pissed in its ear and it didn't move"
"YOU DID WHAT?!?!?!!?" the teacher yelled, shocked and awed by his actions.
The boy said, "You know, i went 'psssst in its ear and it didnt wake up!!"
compare it to the last time, you can easily see the cub is growing
"The cub now weighs 2.6 pounds (1.178 kg), and his heart and lungs sound healthy. His total body length (from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail) is 14 1/4 inches, and he is ten inches around the chest. His tail is two inches long."

"What am I talking about? OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. Basically this software turns scanned documents into regular text you can use in your favorite word processor! Really! And this title is the best I've ever used!
Here's how it works. Let's say you have a document you need to type into your computer. No fun is it? Typing it word for word is time consuming and tedious, to say the least.
Well, with this software, you just scan the document. Instead of your computer turning it into an image, this software turns it into text you can use with your word processor and edit as you see fit! It can even retain the formatting in most cases! Cool huh? You'll never re-type an existing document again!
We've been using it here at WorldStart ever since we found it. We scan in product descriptions right off the software box. Then we copy and paste the text into a web page formatted to our specs. I can't tell you how much time this saving us! We're at least twice as fast as we used to be!
Think of the uses for this. You can scan in ANY typed document of any kind (as long as it fits on your scanner :-). " buy $14.97 Free shipping in US

A timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference for an organization…
Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets.
When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, “Why the spoon?”
“Well,” he explained, “the restaurants’ owners hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.”
As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare.
“I’ll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now.”
I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter’s fly. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, “Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?”
“Oh, certainly!” Then he lowered his voice. “Not everyone is so observant.”
That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we can save time in the rest-room. By tying this string to the tip of ‘you know what’, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the rest-room by 76.39 percent.”
“After you get it out, how do you put it back?”
“Well,” he whispered, “I don’t know about the others, but I use the spoon.”
