			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1996 alignleft" title="finding time to my busy schedule" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/finding-time-to-my-busy-schedule-250x187.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="187" />Hey guys, it&#8217;s been ages since the last time I posted something here. I got a little busy with so many stuffs. But, my new work takes most of my time. Of course, I&#8217;m thankful to have one. I&#8217;ve been waiting for this to happen for such a long time and here it is, there&#8217;s nothing to complain. The thing is, I don&#8217;t have much time to update my blogs just like before where I can update every day. Now, I have to insert it to my schedule before I can make a post.</p>
<p>Supposedly this is not the time for me to update. I just have a little time to surf the web for <a href="http://www.reidsupply.com/results.aspx?cls=1200060" target="_blank">shoe pads</a>. My feet are hurting from the wrong shoes I bought a few days ago so I really have to sit in from of my computer. Since, I&#8217;m already online I snatched few minutes to do some posts.</p>
<p>Before I find the shoe pads I&#8217;m looking for, I came across reid supply. They do not the shoe pad I&#8217;m searching instead they offer Toggle Shoe, Swivel Pad and Swivel Screw Clamps category with over 250 products for industrial purposes. This can greatly help industrial companies looking for different type of industrial supplies. Oh well, better continue searching for the shoe pad for my daily need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the recent news, Astronomers have spied a star&#8217;s swan song as it is shredded by a black hole. Researchers suspect that the star wandered too close to the black hole and got sucked in by the huge gravitational forces. The star&#8217;s final moments sent a flash of radiation hurtling towards Earth.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2016" title="'Unprecedented' Cosmic Blast in Distant Galaxy Spawns" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Unprecedented-Cosmic-Blast-in-Distant-Galaxy-Spawns.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="338" />The energy burst is still visible by telescope more than two-and-a-half months later, the researchers said. The Swift spacecraft constantly scans the skies for bursts of radiation, notifying astronomers when it locates a potential flare. These bursts usually indicate the implosion of an ageing star, which produces a single, quick blast of energy. But this event first spotted on 28 March 2011 and designated Sw 1644+57, does not have the marks of an imploding sun.</p>
<p>What intrigued the researchers about this gamma ray burst is that it flared up four times over a period of four hours. Astrophysicist Dr Andrew Levan from the University of Warwick, and his colleagues suspected that they were looking at a very different sort of galactic event; one where a passing star got sucked into a black hole.</p>
<p>Black holes are thought to reside at the centers of most major galaxies. Some black holes are surrounded by matter in the form of gas; light is emitted when the gas is dragged into the hole. However, the centers of most galaxies are devoid of gas and so are invisible from Earth.</p>
<p>These black holes only become visible when an object such as a star is pulled in. If this happens, the star becomes elongated, first spreading out to form a &#8220;banana shape&#8221; before its inner edge &#8211; orbiting faster than the outer edge &#8211; pulls the star into a disc-shape that wraps itself around the hole.</p>
<p>As material drops into the black hole it becomes compressed and releases radiation that is usually visible from Earth for a month or so. Events like these, termed mini-quasars, are incredibly rare &#8211; researchers expect one every hundred million years in any one galaxy.</p>
<p>The researchers used some of most powerful ground-based and space-based observatories &#8211; the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Gemini and Keck Telescopes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1999 alignleft" title="Qatar Airways Aims to Double in Size by 2020" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Qatar-Airways-Aims-to-Double-in-Size-by-2020-250x185.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="185" />According to the recent news, Qatar Airways aims to double its size by 2020, according to its chief executive. &#8220;At the speed we are growing, Qatar Airways by 2020 will be twice the size it is today,&#8221; Akbar Al Baker, said yesterday while describing the airline&#8217;s vision for 2020, at the Global Aerospace Summit being held in Abu Dhabi. He added that the Doha-based airline will serve at least two and a half times the number of passengers it serves today. And we will be a global player.</p>
<p>With aircraft orders worth more than $50 billion (Dh183.6 billion) at present for more than 250 aircraft, including Boeing 787s, 777s, Airbus A350s, A380s and A320s, Qatar Airways is on an aggressive expansion spree. The airline currently flies to 113 destinations operating a fleet of 108 aircraft.</p>
<p>Besides the planned 11 new routes to be launched this year, the airline also plans to double its US network by starting flights to Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and Detroit within the next year, as Al Baker reportedly said recently. &#8220;The only thing that stopped us from going earlier is the delayed delivery of the 787s,&#8221; he stated. Once again lashing out at the planemakers, Al Baker said delays in plane deliveries will &#8220;stifle the growth opportunities&#8221; that the airlines in the Middle East have, and that it poses a huge challenge to the region&#8217;s airlines, thereby preventing them from achieving their planned growth. He added that both Airbus and Boeing have &#8220;plans that are slipping&#8221;.</p>
<p>Calling the European Union&#8217;s ETS (emissions trading scheme) as the biggest possible challenge today for the airlines. It is a cover-up for the inefficiencies of the EU&#8217;s management of its finances. <span id="more-1998"></span>This is only an indirect way of collecting more taxes — but I don&#8217;t know what they will do with all this money — and to cover up the mismanagement that they have been having in their finances for the last couple of decades.</p>
<p>With China on way to becoming an aircraft manufacturing hub in the next 10-15 years, Qatar Airways CEO says he would be keen to look eastwards to buy planes. If the east can make planes that are safe, efficient and state-of-the-art, and meet our requirements, there is nothing wrong with looking at the east for planes. If it suits our requirement, why should we not look at the east for airplanes? Chinese will compete with the existing plane manufacturers at a better price.</p>

Choose one based on your taste, desired look and budget.</p>
<p>Traditional styles can easily add elegance with floral fabrics, draperies on the window, or gold and silver accents. Use a traditional design to turn your bathroom or toilet area into a sanctuary. Although the result of traditional bathroom decorating can look expensive, you don&#8217;t need to buy expensive materials to capture the theme you want.</p>
<p>If your existing bathroom already has a traditional theme, you can update the look and feel of the room by going for contemporary designs. Contemporary bathroom decorating involves clean lines, smooth finishes, steel, and bold color. Include wood finishes, stones tiles, and textures to provide a calming accent. The simple fixtures and accessories result in a dramatic overall look for the bathroom.</p>
<p>Choose a country theme if you love natural materials and neutral colors. Decorate your bathroom with the organic colors, forms and fabrics that give warmth to simple flooring or wallpaper. <span id="more-2009"></span>Use rich colors to accent the neutral colors and give a dramatic effect to the room, while still offering a relaxing effect.</p>
<p>Decorating your bathroom is not difficult or expensive. Just start with a plan and a budget and you&#8217;ll be surprised how easy it is to make the &#8220;Smallest Room in the House&#8221; one of the most fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-2003 alignleft" title="Aloe Vera Juice Benefits on Digestive Care" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Aloe-Vera-Juice-Benefits-on-Digestive-Care-250x173.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="173" />Aloe Vera can help the stomach breakdown proteins and reduce the likelihood of undigested food molecules causing a problem in the gut. The range of fatty acids produced by Aloe vera includes linoleic and caprylic. Linoleic is also a possible remedy for irritable bowel and caprylic is sometimes used for candida albicans. These fatty acids may not only lower cholesterol but are also helpful due to their anti inflammatory properties. How does aloe vera help?</p>
<ul>
<li>Food enters the bowel in a more acceptable state as it is broken down further resulting in less gas production which you will need to get rid of. Gas puts pressure on the abdominal wall making it stretch. It is the stretching effect that causes pain.</li>
<li>Prevents overgrowth of the bad bacteria and fungus, such as candida albicans.</li>
<li>Soothes and heals an inflamed bowel. It could be that your irritable bowel is due to a sensitive bowel.</li>
</ul>
<p>Food intolerance and aloe vera</p>
<ul>
<li>reduces the likelihood of large proteins entering the bloodstream.</li>
<li>vitamins and minerals are more readily absorbed.</li>
<li>Reduces inflammation caused by food intolerance.<span id="more-2002"></span></li>
</ul>
<p>You will not be surprised to learn that often medical problems go together. -many people find that when they cleansed their bowel, changed their diet to a healthier one, their irritable bowel problems slowly begin to ease. You are is what you eat, never was a truer statement said. If you can [slowly] change your diet for the better then your body will reward you. You will look healthier and feel better. You will look younger for your age and maybe you&#8217;ll even be able to do activities such as sports well into your later life. Good diets need to have their place in modern living, otherwise we will not be able to keep up with the modern world as well as we would like. Furthermore, foods low in saturated fat does not trigger an irritable bowel to the same degree as saturated fats. Natural products like aloe vera also have their part to play.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1989" title="Knowing the Right Gym for you" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Knowing-the-Right-Gym-for-you-250x165.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="165" />Lots of variables that contribute to this failure, one of which is highly overlooked&#8230; and that reason of possible failure lies within the type of gym you choose. It can be the difference between success and failure. And many people never even take this into consideration. How do you choose a gym that&#8217;s right for you to help in your fitness success?  Here are some tips to help you in your choosing the right gym</p>
<ul>
<li>Location: Convenience plays a major role in your success. If it&#8217;s not easy to get to the gym, it can be used as an excuse day after day to go straight home after work rather than to the gym. Find a gym that is convenient and easy for you to get to. This will increase your success rate 10 fold. If you&#8217;re not going to the gym, you&#8217;re not working toward your goals.</li>
<li>Hours of Operation: Different people enjoy going to the gyms at different times. Are you a night owl? Or do you like to wake up super early and hit the gym before work? Either way, some gyms don&#8217;t stay open super late nor do they open early in the morning. Depending on when you exercise, make sure the gym is open when you think that you&#8217;ll more than likely prefer to work out.</li>
<li>Members: The best way to get a taste of the type of members in the club (or the type of members that you&#8217;ll be surrounded by when you&#8217;re in the gym), make sure you take a tour during the actual hours you will typically exercise to get a good feel of the members (younger, older, athletes, etc.) and how busy it is at that time. Many gyms have a variety of different personalities using their club at different hours. For example, the morning crowd may be completely different than the evening crowd. There are also different cycles during the day that are busier than others. This is need to know information. If you take a tour in the morning hours, but actually go to the gym in the afternoons, you may end up not liking the crowd or the amount of foot traffic.</li>
<li>Gym Staff: Again, you&#8217;ll want to go in at the time that you plan on using the gym to get a feel of the staff including managers, front desk workers, and personal trainers. The last thing you want is to tie yourself into a contract with people who aren&#8217;t friendly. If you do, chances are you&#8217;ll rarely show up. If you decide to work with a personal trainer, make sure they are educated and certified.</li>
<li>Cleanliness of the Gym: Make sure you check the machines, bathrooms, towels, <a href="http://lockers.apluswhs.com/gym-lockers/" target="_blank">gym lockers</a> etc. for cleanliness &#8211; health clubs are a sanctuary for bacteria. Join an unclean gym and expect your annual doctor bills to increase a good bit. Seriously!</li>
<li>Gym Equipment: Check to make sure all machines are clean and operating. Dust build-up, rust, frayed cables are all signs of neglect. It&#8217;ll be hard to reach your fitness goals if half the machines in the gym are broken half the year. Also check to make sure the type of equipment matches your training style. Do you prefer to workout with mainly free weights, plate loaded equipment, etc. Also, if you&#8217;re a heavy lifter, you may want to check the dumbbell and plate racks to make sure they have enough weight for you to train with. During busy times you may find yourself sharing much of the equipment. Results don&#8217;t come from standing around waiting for someone to get off your training station. <span id="more-1988"></span></li>
<li>Classes: Get a class schedule and ask if you can try out a class that you might enjoy. Make sure the classes fit into your schedule. Just because they have your favorite class, it won&#8217;t do any good if you can&#8217;t fit it into your schedule. And be realistic as to whether or not you can make it to class during the scheduled times.</li>
<li>Fees: Fitting exercise into your budget is important. Shop around to find a gym you can afford. Most gyms are competitive in their cost, so in shopping around, you&#8217;ll be able to find the gym that also fits your other requirements. Also, don&#8217;t forget that medicare and some insurance plans cover gym membership fees. Ask your insurance company about their policies.</li>
</ul>

I’m really excited over this new venture we are taking on. It’s really risky, adventurous and somewhat wild. It’s the only choice we have for the moment. It sure gives both wifey some sleepless nights. If successful I might be able to wear my nurses uniforms again. Well, that’s part of the plan as well.</p>
<p>For now, I’m already looking at different <a href="http://www.marcusuniforms.com" target="_blank">medical uniforms</a> in the web where I found Marcus uniform. Lucky for me, they ship internationally so I won’t have to worry about it. It’s really a challenge finding men’s scrubs that are comfortable and masculine. I’ve been through that experience three years ago. That’s why as early as now I’m starting my search so I won’t face difficulty when it’s time to make a purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1979" title="misses her garden and wanted to go home" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/misses-her-garden-and-wanted-to-go-home-250x179.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="179" />Even before, wifey always wanted to have a nice garden in the yard. So, back in our home country, she created a small space and started one. She planted seeds of different flowering plants as well as fruit bearing plants. For three years, she maintained that garden diligently. She was able to reap some fruits of that garden like her tomato.</p>
<p>Early this year, she bought one of those <a href="http://www.cleanairgardening.com/accessories.html" target="_blank">composters</a> and started to make her own fertilizer. She said she wanted to use organic fertilizer for her garden, which I think is great. Using chemical fertilizer will somewhat has adverse effect on the health. But, her effort was wasted when we decided to leave the country. She turned over her garden to the owner of the house because there is no way we can transport everything.</p>
<p>For now, it is not possible to start a new garden because we are living on the 18th floor building. She keeps on telling me she misses her garden and wanted to go home. But, that is not possible for now because she has a contract to finish.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-1976" title="Android and iOS activations Rise" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Android-and-iOS-activations-Rise.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="284" />Google has revealed that more than 3.7m Android devices were activated over the Christmas weekend. The detail was tweeted by the company&#8217;s senior vice president of mobile, Andy Rubin. Independent estimates suggested 6.8 million Android or Apple iOS devices were activated on Christmas Day &#8211; more than double last year&#8217;s number. While, industry experts believe the rise is partly because entry-level smartphones have become cheaper.</p>
<p>The statistics, from Flurry Analytics, suggested 242 million apps were also downloaded on the same day. The peak time for downloading new apps on Christmas Day was between 7pm and 10pm, the company said. It gathered its data via its analytics tool which monitored downloads and usage of 140,000 apps in both Google&#8217;s Android Market and Apple&#8217;s App Store. Flurry Analytics did not break down numbers for the individual operating systems. It said the figures showed an increase in activations of 353% when compared to the daily average between 1 and 20 December. App downloads were up 125% over the same period.</p>
<p>For the meantime, figures from IBM Coremetrics suggested that online shopping on Christmas Day was up 16% on last year. It said traffic from mobile devices rose significantly with the iPad leading the way, accounting for 7% of all purchases. James Atkinson, former editor of Mobile magazine, said the activation numbers were particularly impressive for Apple given that many had expected the iPhone 5 to launch ahead of the Christmas break, rather than the revamped iPhone 4S.<span id="more-1975"></span></p>
<p>Mr Atkinson believed much of the rise is due to smartphones becoming more affordable in the past 12 months. Mr Rubins tweeted earlier in December that, on average, 700,000 Androids were being activated every day &#8211; up from 500,000 in June. The Android operating system can be found on a wide range of models produced by many different manufacturers, whereas Apple&#8217;s iOS is only found on iPhone, iPad and certain models of its iPod music player. Demand for the iPhone has reached such a level that China-based manufacturer Foxconn is looking to double production to 400,000 units per day, China Daily reported.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wifey had this idea of gift giving this Christmas. Actually it&#8217;s not a bad idea after all this is the time of the year where we can practice sharing. The only problem I have is the items to give especially to families. We can&#8217;t afford to give each family individual gift for each member. That is way beyond our capacity and budget.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1972" title="plans for gift giving this Christmas" src="http://www.meta-opinions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/plans-for-gift-giving-this-Christmas.jpg" alt="" width="602" height="150" />Good thing we found these <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?catalog=Online&amp;category=GIFTS" target="_blank">gifts for Christmas</a> promo, where we have options on affordable set of gadgets under $20, $50 and $100. We just have to carefully select the best items that fit each family. We can get bigger savings from this instead of buying gifts individually.</p>
