2011 --- Year of the Rabbit

The rabbit is one of the most delicate animals among all 12 animals. Rabbits are usually kind and sweet and of course, popular people. Nobody ignores them, for they are good company and know how to make the best of themselves. A rabbit's home is always a beautiful one cause Rabbit people are famous for their artistic sense and good taste. They are also usually well-dressed. Go check out your Rabbit friend's closet, I bet you will find many expensive and beautiful clothing there. But even though they are popular and loved by their friends and family, rabbit people are also pessimistic. They are conservative and insecure, and that explains why most of the them don't like changes. Calm as they are, it is not easy to provoke Rabbit people. They don't like to argue and enjoy quiet, peaceful lives. They are also sentimental and compassionate. Yes, and they cry easily too. They can be moved by personal problems you share with them. Therefore, if you work as a salesman for a living, you will have much better luck with rabbit people - Nine out of Ten Rabbit people will definitely buy your products! Call them cautious or call them timid, rabbit people will undertake nothing before they have weighed the pros and cons from every angle. And that is probably why rabbit people are doing well in their work. And yet, unless they abandon their conservative nature, and become more aggressive, they will probably live a very normal, and average life. They can be great partners in relationships. Romantic and sweet, faithful too, rabbit people never lack of suitors. . Male rabbits are sometimes picky, and perhaps not a family man. And female rabbits should probably spend less time admiring themselves in front of the mirror and spend more time with friends.

The Rabbit is quick, clever and ambitious, but seldom finishes what he starts. He epitomizes gentleness, refinement and elegance, turning his back on conflicts of any kind. Preferring a situation that is perfectly favorable according to his specific desires, the Rabbit bypasses all obstacles and persons he does not find suitable. As a result, he is rarely angry, hostile or aggressive. Companions quickly forget any discord, only remembering his seductive grace.

The Rabbit is the happiest sign of the Zodiac -- gifted, nice to be with, discreet, refined, reserved, ambitious but not too much so, and virtuous in the bargain. Nobody ignores Rabbits, for they are good company and know how to make the best of themselves.

Hangover Cure? Hah. But These Tips May Help

When it comes to hangovers, everyone has a swear-by-it remedy, from bingeing on cheeseburgers and fries (grease supposedly lines the stomach and slows alcohol absorption) to gulping spiked orange juice or a Bloody Mary (hair of the dog). Hundreds of others are free for the taking online, so why not pick one and get moving the day after you've had a few too many?

Because "in terms of anything that's proven to, quote, cure a hangover, there isn't anything," says Michael Fingerhood, an associate professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. In 2005, researchers scoured studies as far back as the 1950s that addressed preventing or treating hangovers. They unearthed just eight that were worth a closer look, none of which could convincingly demonstrate success for their hangover tricks (such as taking a supplement of prickly-pear cactus or a yeast-vitamin pill), according to the report published in the British Medical Journal.

That doesn't mean you have to be miserable all day, though. Experts say some old standbys will at least take the edge off a hangover and end it a little faster:

Drink lots of water. It's hardly groundbreaking advice, but it should be a top priority. Alcohol makes you urinate. That can lead to dehydration, prompting the hallmark dizziness and lightheadedness of a hangover.

Eat, but don't binge. Crackers and toast can boost blood sugar that may have dipped while drinking, contributing to your fatigue and overall weakness, according to the Mayo Clinic. Also consider pretzels and a banana to replace the salt and potassium lost through urinating so much. No cheeseburger feast—most of us lack the stomach for it the day after.

Get your body working faster. When alcohol gets into the system, says Thomas Tallman, a staff physician in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic, "it's got to be metabolized. There's no way around it." The fructose in sports drinks, fruit juice, and honey may help burn the alcohol more quickly. So will exercise, if you can force yourself to get moving, says Tallman.

Retreat under the covers. You may have gotten your usual eight hours, but it was probably interrupted by a few trips to the bathroom and a lot of tossing and turning, decreasing the quality of your snooze. Think ahead and consider taking a nap before a night out, says Fingerhood.

Take a pain reliever, but sparingly. They'll likely alleviate a headache, but aspirin can upset an already irritated tummy, and acetaminophen could lead to liver damage, according to the Mayo Clinic. Don't go over the recommended dose. In fact, try half a dose and see if it works.

But how about a little foresight to avoid a hangover in the first place? Think of it as doing "damage control while you're drinking so you feel less horrific the next day," says Leslie Bonci, a registered dietician and director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Pace yourself. Start by pre-setting a limit before you head out, says Peter Nathan, a community and behavioral health professor emeritus at the University of Iowa in Iowa City who has studied alcohol consumption for 40 years. He advises telling yourself: "I'm going to have no more than two or at most three drinks during the three hours of this party. And if I do more than that, that's an error in judgment and I can't make it." Don't let peer pressure think you need to keep up with a binge drinker, says Nathan, who has most recently researched binge drinking among college students. "It's important that they not keep up," he says. The body can typically metabolize an alcoholic drink—a glass of beer, a one-shot mixed drink—each hour. Women are generally in hangover danger after three to five drinks in a night; for men, it's five or six. If you're prone to get to these thresholds, try "mocktails"—tonic and lime, water, juice—between drinks. And keep eating. Food slows down alcohol absorption and provides a little distraction.

Customize your request. Ask the bartender for a little more orange juice and a little less vodka, suggests Bonci. "Nobody's going to think you're a wuss if you do that," she says.

Choose wisely. Darker-colored alcoholic beverages—bourbon, scotch, tequila, brandy, ales—have a greater amount of chemicals called congeners, which are more likely to cause a hangover, according to the Mayo Clinic. But light or dark, excess alcohol can lead to a perfectly awful day after.

True Friends ( Borrow from Guess who?????)

Many will be there when you are on top of the world..

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. ~Oprah Winfrey

I enjoy making new friends and meeting new people but true friends are hard to find, it takes effort to build a true friendship.

You can speak openly to a true friend on any subject without weighing your thoughts or measuring your words, you just spill them right out. Because a friend will always accept you as you are.

It is true that people change when their surrounding environment changes. But I don't need my friends to change when I change or nods when I nod. I just need them to remember the song in my heart and sing it to me when my memory fails.

When you go off track, true friends never fail to correct you, slap you awake and bring you back to the right path where you belong.

When you are at your lowest, they will always be there to support you.

Even if you were to call them in the middle of the night;

Willingly they will lend you a helping hand if you are in need

or just a listening ear when you are down

or even a crying shoulder.

They would gather the broken pieces and return them back to you in all the right order.

Old friends are always the best. They know all about you but still likes you for who you are. Never will they judge you or take pleasure in criticizing you.

It takes a long time to grow an old friend. It cannot be developed overnight.

So it is important that you make acquaintances as you progress in life. Put in your heart and be true to someone whom you think is worth it. Do not take things for granted. Appreciate every little thing that you have now to avoid the rush when it is too late.
Love all, trust afew,dowrong to none. -William Shakespeare


Just for Laugh

In an alcohol factory the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire. A drunkard with ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position. The director of the factory wondered how to send him away. They tested him. They gave him a glass with a drink. He tried it and said, "It’s red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers." "That’s correct", said the boss. Another glass. "It’s red wine , cabernet, eight years old, a southwestern slope, oak barrels." "Correct." The director was astonished. He winked at his secretary to suggest something. She brought in a glass of urine. The alcoholic tried it. "It’s a blonde, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month. And if you don’t give me the job, I’ll tell who the father is!" COMPLETE & FINISHED.... People say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED.... But there is. When you marry the right one, you are COMPLETE.... And when you marry the wrong one, you are FINISHED..... And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are...COMPLETELY FINISHED What are the similarities of BAR & BRA 1. Both words have the same letters 2.. Both are drinking zones 3. Both have restricted timing for opening & closing 4. More importantly, both makes men crazy when open.
