The Benefits Of Uncertainty (Yes, You Read It Correct!)
2008-06-16 11:59:00 The world we live and work in is marked by unprecedented uncertainty. The certainty path is just one path (on most occasions). There?s undoubtedly a lot of exciting stuff on that plan. Then again, there are an infinite number of uncertainty paths, which might also be exciting! I am not a big fan of uncertainty myself. I like the plain old ?non-risky? certainty path. But despite its unpopularity, there are some benefits of uncertainty, even though we don?t realize it.1. Uncertainty is fun whenever you are in a receptive mood.Can you recall a situation where uncertainty brought you pleasure? For example, may be you wouldn?t have met your loved one, if it hadn?t been for [insert your reason here]. Or Say that on a recent trip to Seville you forgot your guidebook, headed for the old town and got a bit lost. But did you find some places you?d have never come across otherwise. And you got much more opportunity to use your Spanish. It was fun.2. Uncertainty will allow you to develop accept...

US think tank: Pakistan helped Taliban insurgents
2008-06-10 01:13:00 Pakistani intelligence agents and paramilitary forces have helped train Taliban insurgents and have given them information about American troop movements in Afghanistan, said a report published Monday by a U.S. think tank. The study by the RAND Corp. also warned that the U.S. will face "crippling, long-term consequences" in Afghanistan if Taliban sanctuaries in Pakistan are not eliminated. It echoes recent statements by American generals, who have increased their warnings that militant safe havens in Pakistan are threatening efforts in Afghanistan. The study was funded by the U.S. Defense Department. "Every successful insurgency in Afghanistan since 1979 enjoyed safe haven in neighboring countries, and the current insurgency is no different," said the report's author, Seth Jones. "Right now, the Taliban and other groups are getting help from individuals within Pakistan's government, and until that ends, the region's long-term security is in jeopardy." Pakistan's top military...

Everyone Says It, Only A Few Talk About It
2008-04-21 04:32:00 A few years ago, my father was very ill and had to undergo brain surgery. It was emotionally a very difficult period for my family and me. Through out the ordeal, my colleagues at work and my friends were very supportive.At the time though, there were two common questions I had to deal with frequently."How is your father doing?""How are you coping?"I know that most people who asked those questions meant well. The painful truth was that my father wasn?t doing well. He had a progressive disease and every day it seem to get a little worse. Seeing my father suffer was oh so agonizing to watch. I felt empty. I felt angry. I felt alone. I had so many "Why Lord" questions. To my family, I put a steady front. They too were finding it difficult. I knew that I had to ?pull it together? for their sake. Even though I have many friends, I could only tell how I actually felt to two of my closest friends. To everyone else, I tried to force a smile and mutter something far away from the how I actua...

China think-tank attacks India, calls it ‘arrogant’
2008-04-14 05:46:00 The Chinese military establishment has gone on an overdrive with its anti-Indian rhetoric, calling it “arrogant” and warning it to stay away from a “path of confrontation”. According to a Chinese defence think-tank, recent military exercises and re-positioning of troops in north Bengal was a kick-start reaction by “an arrogant” India. Tibet on the Tube | Tibet crisis: Pics | ‘Lethal force used’: video Recent postings on the website of the China Institute of International Strategic Studies had an article titled ‘A Warning to the Indian Government: Don’t Be Evil!’ According to the article on www.chinaiiss.org, the present situation was just like in 1962, when India “misjudged the situation” and initiated a war “with the support of two superpowers”. India is on the “same old path of confrontation with China” at present, the article posted at the end of last month said. Read More…

When I was 8 years old, I wanted to become a veterinarian. I wanted to save the animal kindom from all it's sorrows! Needless to say that at the time, I loved pets!

Think Tank Calls for an End to Green Taxes
2007-09-06 07:45:00 The UK's Taxpayer Alliance (TA) has released a report calling for a stop to future green taxes, while accusing the government of exploiting climate change fears to justify tax hikes.Citing their own analysis of what they consider to be green taxes the think tank alleges that the average UK household pays 400 extra each year because green taxes were set too high - despite the fact that the country is one of the few in the world on target to meet its targets for greenhouse gas emissions while it's economy has enjoyed consistent long term growth.So where does the real problem lie?Bear in mind that taxpayer organizations have a peculiar but easily salable mission, namely to campaign for lower taxes. All of their recommendations go towards this one goal, with the assumption that it will translate into a better society and happier, healthier citizens. Anyone with a first year education in economics can tell you this assumption doesn't hold. More relevant here is that their report d...
Best place to Buy a Think Tank Bag?
2007-08-17 12:33:00 As previously mentioned, I just got a Think Tank Photo Airport Antidote backpack in the mail. I've got it loaded up but haven't taken it out just yet... I'm probably shooting this weekend, so we'll see.What I had forgotten to mention in the earlier post was where I bought my bag! I'm always looking for a hot deal on stuff & this was a tough one: the Think Tank products are somewhat high-end & they don't have a omnipresent distribution chain behind them. You simply won't find one on a discount (bummer!).The best deal I could find was at Dury's. Their price was still the same $199 as everyone else's, but they offered Free Shipping. Considering that shipping was around $10-15 at other shops this was a good enough reason to buy from them. As an added bonus, I got the backpack in about 2 days, right in line with their UPS delivery map. Do you back up your docs & photos? I use and recommend Mozy for automatic online backups.2GB free or $4.95/month for unlimited, enc...
