Am planning to get a pet, so i just wanna know, which of them is a better companion

Dogs are better than cats. Dogs make better companions than cats. Dogs when you get home show they are happy and want you there. Cats are lone wolves. They don't care weather you are home or not they do their own thing. Dogs also seemed to know when you are depressed while cats just stay away from you all the time.
Dogs and cats make good companions for different types of people. Dogs are very social animals. Also, since they must be frequently walked and played with, they make great companions for active people. Cats are not social animals nor do they require a lot of care, which makes them ideal companions for those who are not as active or for those who prefer a low profile pet.

I have sometimes felt referring to another as "baby" had a slight derogatory hue to it.
I would like the ladies to say when they like to be called "baby" and when they would take objection and why.
I'm only curious.

studies suggest. Being called "Baby" has a positive effect on the female brain, causing instant emotional stress relief.

If you are‎ a blackberry user you must be familiar with your phone constantly freezing with the traditional black square in the middle of your screen and a rotating arm. But I have devised a simple way to stop this. First of all wipe all your application and re install to get rid of unwanted data. And then reinstall(not compulsary). From your home screen. Hold down the 'alt' key,while doing that press the keys, one by oneL G L G 

Then a long list should come up named (event log)then click the blackberry button to the left of your trackpad and then go to clear log and restart your phone. This should reduce if not stop the hanging.   



This dosent delete anything from your phone and has been done by a lot of people with 0% complaining.   And it can be done as many times as possible. Click the following link for more info.

“But what’s wrong with being perfect?” asked my client.
“Nothing,” I
replied with a wink. “As long as it doesn’t kill you.” This
particular client, like many entrepreneurs, is an A-type,
make-it-happen kind of person. She demands a lot
because she gives a lot. It is this quality that makes her
successful in her chosen line of business, though lately
she has been suffering the consequences. She has been
working long hours but has not been feeling “the love”
as she calls it. Her staff seem to be making mistakes
all the time and her temper is short. She is increasingly
irritated by her family and feels that she handles the
majority of responsibility in parenting. When we explored
the subject a little deeper, my client admitted that she
often checks things two or three times because she
does not trust her staff to get it right. One of her staff
members even said to her, “We know you check our
work so sometimes we don’t try as hard because we
know you’ll fix it.” She realised that
she took on the majority of the home responsibilities
because she did not trust her husband to do the job as
well as she knew she would. She also realised that she
felt very guilty when taking time out and used criticism
as a tool to motivate herself. No doubt, many of us can
re- late. An entrepreneur is a particular type of person:
adventurous, driven and energetic, with a view of
possibility. The down side is that entrepreneurs are also
prone to overworking, taking on too much and
perfectionism – the sometimes lethal art of trying to get
everything right. Striving to be better is healthy but
perfectionism can be deadly in organisations. Most
perfectionists tend to: Be highly critical, often looking for
what is wrong; Have high, often unrealistic standards;
Get depressed by unmet goals; Fear failure;
Procrastinate; Value independence over collaboration;
and get defensive easily. You might be surprised to see
procrastination on the list but the truth is that often, the
fear of failing paralyses perfectionists. They do not
delegate because they value independence over
collaboration, but end up feeling over- whelmed with
how much there is to do and yet are unable to make a
start for fear of failure. If you recognise yourself in the
above, what should you do next? Being a perfectionist is
not a bad thing but it can get out of hand. Like most
things, awareness is the first step, although sometimes
it helps to have a few guidelines.
Letting go of in- grained habits can feel a little daunting
at first but it is the key to unlocking the magic you felt
when you first started your business. The tips below are
intended to keep perfectionist tendencies in check and
help you perform optimally. The idea is that you are left
with enough drive and ambition to forge ahead but also
time and energy to enjoy the journey.
Don’t sweat the small stuff: We all know the saying but
it re- ally is true. If your assistant spills coffee over
some documents, take a deep breath and do not let it
get to you. Sitting in traffic, late appointments, delayed
deals – the truth is that these things are part of life.
Keep your focus on what you can control, not what you
cannot.
Make mistakes: Mistakes provide the greatest
opportunities for growth. We learn by making mistakes.
When things do go wrong, in- stead of focusing on
what, look instead for the reasons why and use ... Click to read more -

A muslim friend of mine sent me a mobile application of
Quran; while reading Surah Yusuf i came accross an
interesting comparison and as a christian i think it is
worth sharing. Here I culled an excerpt of the story of
Joseph and Potiphar's Wife.
According to the Quran (Yusuf 12:20-34)
20. And they sold him for a low price, - for a few
Dirhams (i.e. for a few silver coins). And they were of
those who regarded him insignificant.
21. And he (the man) from Egypt who bought him, said
to his wife: "Make his stay comfortable, may be he will
profit us or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We
establish Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, that We might
teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah has full
power and control over His Affairs, but most of men
know not.
22. And when he [Yusuf (Joseph)] attained his full
manhood, We gave him wisdom and knowledge (the
Prophethood), thus We reward the Muhsinun.
23. Now the woman in whose house he was putting up
sought to seduce him against his will and she bolted
the doors well and said,' Now come, I am ready to
recieve you.' He said,'(How can it be possible,) I seek
refuge with Allah, He alone is my Lord. He has made my
stay (with you) honourable. Verily, the wrong doer never
flourish.
24. And indeed she did desire him and he would have
inclined to her desire, had he not seen the evidence of
his Lord. Thus it was, that We might turn away from
him evil and illegal sexual intercourse. Surely, he was
one of Our chosen, guided slaves.
25. And both of them ran for the door, one trying to
outdo the other. And (in the struggle) ... Click to read more -

A creative and active group of friends (called
Z999) decided to draw people's attention to the
very poor condition of Lithuanian roads by
creating a photo shoot around potholes in
Kaunas.
The aim of this was to laugh at the absurdity of
this situation and to draw our government's
attention to it so that they might take action
and repair our roads. Two professional
photographers, Arturas Artiusenka and Eurika
Balciute, attended this fun photo shoot. Not
only this was a great experience for us, many
Lithuanian magazines became interested in the
project and these pictures as well.
None of the photos were made to offend our
government; ... Click to see more -

My friend who is a highly gifted surgeon once shared a
most interesting tale with me. One of his lab technicians
was retiring after many years of government service,
and invited him to a party at her home in one of the
peri-urban areas near the city. He was most amazed
when he got there to find that this very ordinary-looking
lady lived in a beautiful three bedroomed house whose
construction she had supervised. He was even more
impressed when he toured her small adjoining farm with
greenhouses and several healthy exotic cows. The icing
on the cake was meeting her three children, who were
all students in prestigious local universities. As my
friend considered his considerable education loans and
high monthly expenditure, he realised that this lady,
who had never earned anything close to his current
salary, was far wealthier than he could imagine himself
being! It's a paradox that the people working in the
most prestigious and well-paid careers tend to be the
ones with the highest expenditure and the most debt.
This reality is often hidden because they dress better,
live in posher neighbourhoods, have more expensive
gadgets and drive nicer cars. But the reality is that true
financial freedom is not a factor of how big your salary
is, but how long you would survive if you lost that
salary today. And on that count, highly educated people
tend to fare badly!
The more educated you are, the more likely you are to
suffer from 'paralysis of analysis'. You analyse different
opportunities to death, finding all sorts of reasons why
they won't work. Meanwhile, your less educated
contemporaries who know less about why things should
fail often just jump in and make a try of it, and end up
successful as a result!
Highly educated people also tend to suffer from what
has been referred to as 'the curse of the gifted'. They
can achieve proficiency at many things, so they end up
drowning in ... Click to read more
