How Safe Is Your Data? Choosing A Reputable Data Recovery Provider June 17, 2009
Posted by Guest Poster5 in : Uncategorized , add a commentNo matter if you have taken all the required precautions, when a server or a hard drive fails you can guarantee that the search for a company to sort out the problem will be the foremost thing on most peoples minds, but how do you choose the best comapny to do the job for you?
When choosing a data recovery company to recover your valuable data it is very important that you make the right choice.
The company that gets your vote should have dedicated Data recovery staff that are professionally trained for the required task
Data recovery and file restoration should be the main focus of their day to day activities and not a task that they undertake every once in a while when they get a job in.
A true data recovery lab will be able to successfully recover data from Servers, Laptop’s, Desktop’s, CD/DVD’s and all other types of storage media, not simply just from a failed hard drive
They should have both the leading technology and skilled technicians to identify and solve the most challenging recovery situations presented to them.
If they are leaders in data solutions they should also be able to offer a full gamut of data recovery services including full server and raid recovery capabilities. If the company are an industry leader they will also offer a call out service as this is often a key requirement for server and raid data recovery.
Top tier recovery specialist companies will also have there own onsite or country based lab facility for use if drive stripping is required. This should be at the latest recommended certified ISO class 3 environment.
In the event of your drive needing to be stripped down you need to know who is actually handling your data and is it secure? Having to send your drive to another country for assessment should not be a requirement in this day and age.
In summary your data has a huge value both on a personal and business basis so don’t rush in and make sure you ask the right questions to give you the best chance of getting your data back.
Life Coaching and How it Can Help You May 27, 2009
Posted by Guest Poster5 in : Uncategorized , add a commentNumerous people have difficulties setting personal goals and then following them. It can be because of a lack of self-discipline, lack of direction or maybe a mismanaged lifestyle that has them moving around in a circle, never making any headway. Regardless of what the explanation is, personal goals are not being met and that can result in a downturn in the quality of life for that person. If you feel that you are spinning your wheels but not getting anyplace as far as your own personal goals are concerned, maybe the time has come to create the life that you want with life coaching.
Helping other folks to accomplish their personal goals and dreams is what life and personal development coaching is all about. A coach can achieve this by leading by example, giving life tips and employing effective coaching skills that come from a variety of disciplines, such as psychology or sociology. A life coach must help you in examining your current living situation and have you reach a decision as to where you would ultimately like to be in life. As well as offering tips and guiding you along, they will also help you in getting over any obstacles that might crop up along the way.
One thing to be mindful of is that a life coach is not a fix all and cannot solve your difficulties on your behalf. If drugs, alcohol, abuse or psychological matters are present, then the mentor is not qualified to help with those sorts of problems. Even though they are not qualified to do such a job, they can provide a good example and may help you to seek out specialist help for your particular issues. The mentor is not and should not be there to show you the way and push you towards something for which you are not equipped. They merely offer a shoulder should you need their help in handling particular life transitions.
One key aspect that you should be aware of is that there are no professional qualifications or licensing needed to become a life coach or for leadership mentoring. There are organizations which do offer membership but there is no training required in order to be a mentor. With that in mind, when you are looking into finding a life coach, you should be very wary of anyone who claims to be able to change your life or help you to accomplish any unreasonable goals.
Numerous folks get a real feeling of satisfaction when they can help others succeed in achieving their goals, ambitions and aspirations. To these people, life coaching is very much a way of life. If you have a longing to begin coaching folks yourself, just bear in mind that very little good in life comes easy and it can take some hard work to become a life coach, but the end rewards will be well worth the endeavor.
Every now and then, life has a tendency to be overwhelming and it is at these times that folks find themselves being pushed off course as far as their goals are concerned. Life coaching provides much needed motivation and helps put the person back on the road to accomplishing success.

9 Good Kitchen Tips for Women On The Go April 7, 2009

Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete’s sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway!
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
Buy mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
Go to the bakery! Hell, they’ll even decorate it for you!
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant ‘fix-me-up.’
If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that’s too bad. Please recite with me the real woman’s motto: ‘I made it, you will eat it and I don’t care how bad it tastes!’
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Celery? Never heard of it!
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don’t.
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

Don’t throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

An Angel says, ‘Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn’t happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.’
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won’t fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don’t lump the hard things all together.

10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can’t do anything about a situation, forget it.

13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.

28. Laugh some more!

32. Sit on your ego
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 Every night before bed, think of one thing you’re grateful for that you’ve never been grateful for before. GOD HASA WAYOF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

Amazing!
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12 345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn’t it?
And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this…
101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then!
H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K
8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E
11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It’s the Love of God that will put you over the top!
