Shilpa in a 'kiss row' again!

Bollywood's leggy lass Shilpa Shetty is once again in the news. No not for launching any new venture, but for getting a kiss on her rosy cheeks.
Shilpa's recent visit to Sakhigopal temple has already garnered enough controversies and now this 'kiss row'. As per reports, temple's priest was so happy with Shilpa's visit that while blessing her, he planted a kiss on her cheeks.
Though Shilpa flashed her dazzling smile for shutterbugs, her visit to the temple and shooting in the premises has raised many eyebrows.
Our verdict: This is much about nothing!

A Brother Just Like You

I just want to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly

The many things you've done
All the times that you were there
Help me know deep down inside
How much you really care

Even though I might not say
I appreciate all you do
Richly blessed is how I feel
Having a brother just like you.
A Sister Like You

Someone who will understand
Who knows the way I feel
In every situation
Her concern is very real

Someone who has walked my ways
Who knows my every need
Times when she would see me cry
Her heart would nearly bleed

Everyone should have a sister
Just the way I do
Richly blessed is what I am
To have a sister like you
A Sister is Forever

Care for your Eyes: Your most precious assets

A glance of the eye is described as one of the most wonderful things in nature. Eye is an integral part of one's beauty but we, at times, completely ignore taking care of it. Eye care is equally important and serious as other ailments because the damage it can cause is intense and immeasurable. Hence, consulting an ophthalmologist becomes important for avoiding any loss relating to your eyes.

The number of people with visual problems is truly deplorable. In a developing country like India, it is estimated that India is home to 23.5% of the world's blind population. To curb this huge crisis, India, in 1976, became the first country in the world to start a national program for controlling blindness. Surveys show cataract to be the most common cause of blindness. Hence, recent focus has been on high-quality surgery and up-gradation of skills among the ophthalmologists. Other vital reasons of blindness are glaucoma, refractive errors, corneal blindness and childhood blindness.

How to have good Eyesight?
Most eye problems are attributed to stress, tension and laziness which lead to gradual failing of eyesight. Many people habitually strain their eyes by keeping them in a fixed position, staring at a whole scene rather than allowing steady movement. It is essential for the eye muscles to move freely in order to make the tiny adaptations necessary to centre on the object of your vision.
Exercises for improving Eyesight

There are some particular exercises which can help relax the eye muscles and optic nerve and use memory and imagination to improve coordination between the brain and eyes.

* Palming – It is a simple technique which can refresh your eyes. You just close your eyes and cover them with your palms by resting them on your cheek bones. Make sure not to put pressure on your eyeballs. Breathe slowly and evenly, relaxing and imagining deep blackness. Begin by doing this exercise for ten minutes, two or three times a day.
* Swinging – Keep the eyes mobile and stay relaxed. Then stand up and focus on a distant point, swaying gently from one side to another. Repeat as many times as you can, preferably hundred times daily, blinking as you sway. Blinking lubricates and cleans the eyes, which is extremely important if you spend several hours in front of the computer.
* Sunning – Try to do this exercise once a day. It requires a sunny day or a desk lamp with a luminescent bulb. Close your eyes and try to look directly at the sun through your closed eyes. When facing the sun, rotate your head slowly from side to side as far as possible. This exercise helps to get sunlight on the peripheral vision and enables more blood circulation to your neck. Do this for three to five minutes every day.
* Colour day – Choose any colour and look out for it throughout the day. When you see the particular colour, be aware of the colour rather than the form. For example, if it's a blue car, experience the shade of blue, not the car.

Common tips when doing eye exercises
You should follow some of the common tips when performing your eye exercises:

* Take off your glasses or contact lenses
* Concentrate intensely on your eyes and feel them working
* Do the exercises regularly for better results

Your eyes are the most important assets which should always be taken good care of. Vision is our primary means of relationship to the beautiful world around us. Hence, proper and regular care of the eyes is extremely essential for every individual.

A new beginning,
but this time no end

How to watch high quality Youtube videos

Login to your Youtube account
Next to the word account there is a small drop down arrow
Press on this for a menu to appear
From this menu choose more..
Then scroll down the page and under the heading account, choose video playback quality
Put a check next to I have a fast internet connection. Always play higher quality video when it is available..
Save settings. That's it.

Now when you are logged into your account and you want to watch a Youtube video it will show you the highest quality resolution for that video. If nothings happens and it is still the low quality FLV version then that just means that Youtube video is not available in a higher quality yet.

There is also another little trick you can do to see if a Youtube video has a higher quality video available. You simply add &fmt=6 to the end of the url in the address bar in your internet browser.

For example a url of one my video's is http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=30qfCgwxzEPw and to see it in higher quality you would change it to http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=30qfCgwzEPw&fmt=6

This only works if there is a higher resolution video available.

Notes:
When there is not a higher quality when you add &fmt=6 then you can also try adding &fmt=18 to the URL to get MP4 instead FLV
