How To Whistle Loudly

by @ 8:17 am. Edit This Filed under Uncategorized

Whistling is a funny skill: folks who can whistle, wonder how anyone could have a problem with it. Folks who can’t, wonder how anyone could ever produce such a sound. For those of you who can’t, consider learning–a quick, loud, penetrating whistle has many useful applications and can be mastered with relative ease.

You’ll be shown two techniques for whistling: one that uses your fingers, and another that doesn’t. Say it’s raining, your arms are full of shopping bags, and you need to flag a taxi. This no-hands whistle will allow you to emerge victorious in this situation and others. But the fingerless whistle is a little trickier to master, so you should practice the fingered whistle first. Just practice a little bit every day; soon pets and taxis alike will be at your beck and call.

Familiarize yourself with the different parts of your mouth, and get a feel for how they work together. It’s mostly a matter of practicing whenever you get the chance: for example, walking a dog, applauding a live performance, or…flagging down a taxi.

If you can’t produce any sort of whistle at present, maybe just loud wheezing sounds, you may want to try the fingered whistle first. Some say it’s easier than the “no-hands” technique; others say they are equally easy (with practice.)

All about Knee Surgery

by @ 9:00 pm. Edit This Filed under Education

My boss won’t be having knee surgery soon enough to correct his bad knee. His knee was so enlarged the other day, I didn’t think he’d be able to wait till his scheduled surgery.

This is a terrific Interactive Flash Animation allowing you to take on the role of the Surgeon throughout a total knee replacement surgery.

Thank you to Lonnie and Tracy of Wheresoursquirrel.com

by @ 9:37 pm. Edit This Filed under Personal News

Due to illness, scheduling conflicts and business travel, Christmas 2004 was postponed until we had oppurtunity to finally celebrate this past Sunday afternoon!

The kids had a great time and enjoyed having yet another gift opening free for all.

I was very surprised and happy to open my gift from Lonnie, Tracy, Chris, Tommy and Baby Boo. It was something that I really wanted since my laptop was stolen out of my car last November. I had listed the item in my “Amazon Wish List” as a reminder to myself to purchase it, but for some reason or another I never got around to it. I’m quite sure all of you have experienced the joy of receiving the dreaded “Soap on a rope” gift at one time or another, which is why I think Wish List’s should become the norm with a selection of things for the gift buyer to choose from which actually makes it much easier for someone to give something that may actually be enjoyed and not become a regift.

Thanks to Lonnie and Tracy for making me so happy with my new Laptop Backback made by Targus.

I never realized how much I used to struggle with my briefcase and laptop case everyday leaving home, all day out on the road and back inside again at the end of the day. The funny thing is I have found myself actually limiting visits to certain accounts of mine recently, dreading the thought of dragging my laptop with me so as to not contribute to Brooklyn, NY’s lesser known economy.

Here is a picture of the Laptop Back pack.

Thanks Guys.

The 25 most difficult questions you’ll be asked on a job interview

by @ 8:24 pm. Edit This Filed under Reference

The job interview is considered to be the most critical aspect of every expedition that brings you face-to- face with the future boss. One must prepare for it with the same tenacity and quickness as one does for a fencing tournament or a chess match.

Alternatives to Windows

by @ 6:05 pm. Edit This Filed under Reference

Microsoft Windows isn’t the only operating system for personal computers, or even the best… it’s just the best-marketed. Its inconsistent behavior and the interface that changes with every version are the main reasons people find computers difficult to use. Microsoft adds new bells and whistles in each release, and claims that this time they’ve solved the countless problems in the previous versions… but the hype is never really fulfilled. Consider switching to something better. There’s an exciting array of interesting operating systems out there, and the overall quality of them is stronger than ever.
