Clutter and Confusion
I am always throwing and giving things away. Clutter has always annoyed me. However, as much as I detest clutter, I am surrounded by it and even contribute to it. I can now clearly see I'm kind of a clutter snob. I have looked down on people that are pack rats and just can't seem to get it together.
Their desks look like a toxic waste dump site and it takes them forever to find one thing buried in the mess. On closer inspection, however, I create and live in clutter as well. My desk is not threatening to break under the weight of un-dealt with paper, but I have almost 100 E-mails that I need to process. I have a tiny digital recorder so I can record ideas and information at the time I think of them. My plan is to listen to them daily and do whatever needs to be done with the information.
Instead, I've used up almost all of the recording time and haven't done much with what I've recorded. Oh my God, I'm suffering from digital clutter! I've updated an age old problem and brought it into the 21st century. You, too?OK, enough complaining -- time for some action. If we feel overwhelmed and depressed a little too often, getting rid of physical clutter may not cut it for us. It may be time for some judicious life pruning.
When I get in this mode, anything that doesn't move me toward my most important goals or recharge my physical, emotional or spiritual batteries is outta here! If you're feeling the physical and/or emotional weight of clutter of any kind, here's a few ideas to create a clearing in your life. Some of these may seem insignificant, but every little simplification adds up just as every unwanted aspect of clutter does.= If you keep getting E-mail newsletters that you always delete anyway, use the unsubscribe link and get off their list. If that doesn't work for some reason, use the filtering tools in your E-mail program to automatically send these messages into the E-trash.= Go through your magazines and catalogs and pull out the pages that you want to save for later, then throw the rest of them away. Put the articles you want to read, the images that speak to your heart, and the things you want to buy in separate folders.= If there's something you deal with every day, such as your hair dryer, an unsharpened knife or a crappy pen that just aggravates you unmercifully, throw it away! Or fix it or replace it. These "little" stressors are a major cause of physic clutter.= For a general life malaise, I prescribe looking at what you're spending your time on and shaking things up.
It amazes me how such intelligent creatures as we can be lulled into mindless, joyless, useless repetition. Some things that have worked for me when I get into a funk are to change my morning routine, change the time I get up or go to bed, change what type of exercise I do, call people I haven't talked to in years, do something I haven't done in years (water gun fight, anyone?) In other words, drop something and pick up something new..

Personal Protection When Traveling - It's a Must!
One Christmas when I was in high school, I received what I thought at the time was an odd gift ? a personal safety alarm.
I thanked my parents, but wondered why they thought I needed personal protection.
As it turns out I never used the alarm but I sure FELT safer when I was walking home in the dark.To protect your person when traveling, there are a variety personal safety options.
Actual weapons of course, which I don't recommend - studies have proven you're more likely to get hurt carrying your own weapon.
Pepper spray or mace, which you would spray in an attacker's face, or a personal alarm which usually includes a pull string or a button to push and makes a very loud and distinct noise.If you are going to purchase a personal safety product for your travels, here are a few things to think about.
Check if personal defense products like pepper spray and mace are illegal where you're visiting.
Make sure that you have extra batteries...

Mp3 Players: How To Choose The Right One.
The range of mp3 players on the market today is perplexing to say the least but their main benefit is convenience. With the right mp3 player music can be downloaded from CDs or from subscription sites on the internet.
1) So how does the mp3 player work? Basically, mp3 is a method of audio compression that maintains the original quality of the music. Due to the small size of this file, there is a large capacity for storing music.
2) What kind of mp3 players can you choose from? There are two basic types of mp3 player. The first is a flash player, which has no moving parts and is therefore good for people using their player while jogging or in the gym. However, the disadvantage of this is that the memory capacity is quite low. However, this isn't an issue if you only plan to use the mp3 player for short periods of time. The flash model is able to hold about 200 songs and the popular SanDisk...

Fuji Novel Batteries ?Reverse Current Prevention? Protects Devices From Harm / The Only Alkaline Batteries to Offer this Superior Equipment Protection Feature
To prevent the possibility of two negative terminals from touching each other if they are improperly inserted, Fuji Novel LR20 (D-size) and LR14 (C-size) alkaline batteries have specially-designed resin protrusions on their negative face to ensure that negative-to-negative contact is incomplete, and therefore no current conduction can occur.
This feature prevents both the inadvertent and the deliberate installation of batteries where both negative terminals can touch, which, at worst, can send a potentially harmful surge into the device."We are very pleased to once again lead the industry by providing this reverse current protection in our C and D-Size Alkaline batteries ? the batteries most likely to be connected in series, and therefore, in greatest need of protection," noted Russ Bongiorno, Vice President of Marketing at Fuji Novel Batteries.
"Fuji Novel has been an innovator and a pioneer in the battery marketplace for decades.
