I have a cousin who used to suffer from Gout. Gout, also called metabolic arthritis, is a disease due to an inborn uric acid metabolism. In this condition monosodium urate crystals are deposited on the articular cartilage of joints and in the particular tissue like tendons. This provokes an inflammatory reaction of these tissues and can be painful to the sufferer.
My cousin discovered Goutinol and it completely made him a much happier person. Goutinol works fast, even within 2 to 3 days and has no side effects. All his pains vanished making him more active and smiling again. Goutinol, a pharmaceutical-grade product, was formulated using the latest nanotechnology to ensure effectiveness. It is the best all-natural Gout remedy on the market today and used over 3 to 6 months, Gout can be completely reversed. That's how potent Goutinol is.

New Office Guideline
As a norm, the F-word is not used in where I work but occasionally it does get some air-time. Enjoy the following. Unfortunately, source is unknown.
It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their colleagues.
Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.
We do, however, realise the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with colleagues.
Therefore, a list of 13 New and Innovative "TRY SAYING" phrases have been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner.
1.
Try Saying:
I think you could do with more training
Instead Of:
You don't have a f*cking clue, do you?
2.
Try Saying:
She's an aggressive go-getter.
Instead Of:
She's a f*cking power-crazy b*tch
3.
Try Saying:
Perhaps I can work late
Instead Of:
And when the f*ck do you expect me to do this?
4.
Try Saying:
I'm certain that isn't feasible
Instead Of:
F*ck off a*se-wipe
5.
Try Saying:
Really?
Instead Of:
Well f*ck me backwards with a telegraph pole
6.
Try Saying:
Perhaps you should check with...
Instead Of:
Tell someone who gives a f*ck.
7.
Try Saying:
I wasn't involved in the project.
Instead Of:
Not my f*cking problem, mate.
8.
Try Saying:
That's interesting.
Instead Of:
What the f*ck?
9.
Try Saying:
I'm not sure this can be implemented within the given timescale.
Instead Of:
No f*cking chance mate.
10.
Try Saying:
It will be tight, but I'll try to schedule it in
Instead Of:
Why the f*ck didn't you tell me that yesterday?
11.
Try Saying:
He's not familiar with the issues
Instead Of:
He's got his head up his f*cking a*se.
12.
Try Saying:
Excuse me, sir?
Instead Of:
Oi, f*ck face.
13.
Try Saying:
Of course, I was only going to be at home anyway
Instead Of:
Yeah, who needs f*cking holidays anyway.
Thank You,

Wedding Favors
Here in Malaysia, at Malay weddings, guests are normally given wedding favors. They used to be in the form of a hard-boiled egg encased in a small receptacle which could be a nice little box or other pretty containers either hand-made or ordered from wedding favor outlets. These days, chocolates have replaced the eggs. Other items have also come into the picture.
In the Chinese community however, presenting wedding favors was not practised but of late it has become popular.
If you're looking to buy cheap wedding favors, Giftsandotherwise.com is the place you should check out. You'll love their enormous selection of inexpensive favors - Wedding Bubbles, Placecard Holders, Coasters, Candles and even Candy. They have tons of wedding favors under $3!! You won't find a better bargain or cheaper prices anywhere.

HotelReservations.com
Everyone has a holiday story to tell. Whether one returns home happy or otherwise is in part attributable to the planning before the trip. Accommodation tops my priority list to ensure an enjoyable vacation.
HotelReservations.com would be the site I would use as it has a wide range of accommodations - hotels, motels, resorts, vacation rentals and others. Their rates are really competitive for the quality accommodations they offer. They even offer discounts as much as 70% on worldwide destinations.
For that great holiday, why not visit HotelReservations.com

Install a Retail Software
Many small business owners are still running their business using manual methods. With technology available in this time and age, it would be to their advantage to use technology to make their job easier as well as keep up with progress. I have family friends in various small businesses so perhaps I need to introduce them to the MerchantOS retail software.
MerchantOS, a point of sale software, is for businesses with one or more retail locations. The software is able to track and organize sales, manage inventory, maintain customer records among others. Businesses that use MerchantOS have increased efficiency and experience less computer system downtime. All that's needed is a computer and an Internet connection.
Pass The Class
This story is truly inspirational, a life's lesson here perhaps.
I Made A 41
===========
Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The class was taught by one of the two teachers that impacted me most, Mr. Bales. The other teacher was Mrs. Drew from the seventh grade. It's amazing how I can remember from over 30 years ago my two most impacting teachers.
The eighth grade. It was a time when I, like most, didn't know what I was to be in life. The drama of that time of youth was simply get through school and make the long walk home.
There are some things that will still be like the eighth grade when you get to be eighty.
The test was the final for the class. I remember anxiously waiting as Mr. Bales passed out test after test. It was a rather difficult test. I didn't know how well I had done but I knew there were things on it that I didn't know.
The air whooshed around the pages as it made a gentle sound plopping down. It was a rhythm as each student received their test - plop, plop, plop.
I heard groan after groan that accompanied the plops. I could tell by the groans that the grades weren't looking good.
Mr. Bales dropped the stapled pages on my desk.
There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade.
41
Groan!!!
I moved my paper where it wasn't in plain view, a 41 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.
After the final plop, Mr. Bales stood behind the worn desk that had stood guard over countless students before me. He addressed the none too jubilant class.
"The grades were not very good, none of you passed, so I will have to consider grading on a scale," Mr. Bales announced.
"The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you flunked," were the final words that I remember.
A 41. That's me.
Suddenly my dismal looking final didn't look quite so bad. There were at least 30 students in the class. I had the highest grade. I felt a whole lot better.
I walked home that day with the low but high grade safely tucked away in my book satchel. My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home, "how did you do on your test."
"I made a 41," I said.
My mother's expression changed. A frown now stood where a smile was a few seconds earlier. I knew that I had to explain and explain fast. "But mother, I had the highest grade in the class," I proudly stated.
I knew that statement would change things. I had the highest grade in the class, that made a difference.
My mother said, "You flunked."
"But I had the highest grade in the class!" I replied.
"I don't care what everyone else had, you flunked. It doesn't matter if everyone else flunked too, what matters is what you do," my mother firmly answered.
For years, I thought that was a harsh judgment. My mother was always that way. It didn't matter what the other kids did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.
We often don't understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parenting shoes. My mother's philosophy has carried me throughout life. Don't worry about what the crowd does.
The crowd often goes the wrong way.
If you follow the crowd, you will go to the same destination as the crowd. The path of the crowd is wide and it is crowded. The path to pass the tests of life is narrow and there are very few people on it.
The path up the mountain is narrow; it is not crowded.
The path to health is narrow; it is not crowded.
The path to harmony, peace and happiness with your spouse is narrow; it is not crowded.
The path to peace with yourself and the world is narrow; it is not crowded.
I made a 41 and was proud of it, but it would not have gotten me through the real tests.
The majority of spouses are not faithful, it's the crowd, and even though you may be the smoothest deceiver of the group, you are on the road to failure; it's not a passing grade.
The crowd eats fattening unhealthy fast food. That food sends you to an early appointment with the doctor and the funeral director. It's the food of the crowd.
The crowd spends no special time in prayer and meditation each day. That leads to an unhealthy spirit. It's the way of the crowd.
Thirty years after my mother said that she didn't care if I was the best failure in the class, I understand why.
"Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
That's a quote that my mother lives by.
We often take comfort in the crowd; the only problem is that the crowd is not comfortable.
PASS the class!

Astronomy and Telescopes
If you've been reading my blog far back enough you would have read that I saw a UFO sometime back one morning. It would have been awesome if I had a telescope on hand to see it better.
Perhaps I should get one for another of such an occasion. You never know and with eclipses happening rather often, a telescope would come in handy.
I'm not an expert on astronomy so I guess a used telescope would suit my need. I found this site AstroAds and they've got a good range of telescopes and such on their telescope classifieds.
