You're exhausted from several rounds of brainstorming and finally pick a name that seems to convey what you want to say. Your legal eagles clear it, and you start incorporating the name everywhere - on the web, on T-shirts, on stationery and business cards and in correspondence with potential investors or customers. But oops! You didn't notice that your name carries one or more of these five slowly sabotaging disadvantages... Hidden Pitfall #1: The name can't be said aloud fast and clearly. Ever called a law firm only to be totally unsure what the receptionist said when picking up the line? Certain combinations of sounds are tongue twisters to say quickly and do not come across clearly to the ear...
Small Area Viewing Gardens - Japanese Gardens
A pleasant Sunday was spent wandering the streets and lanes of Gion in Kyoto, Japan and viewing temples such as Kiyomizu Temple and the quaint Entouin Temple and of course viewing gardens seen along the way. The Japanese and their families enjoying and I think they love Sunday, the Temples, lunch and the street life. I was feeling jealous of their pleasure and they do like to connect to nature. In my wanderings I found the small area gardens and others in Kyoto truly expressed the art of the ideal Japanese garden. I noticed the small area gardens followed similar design principles e.g. stone, pebble, stepping stones, lantern, water presence or image, some plants but not cluttered, the garden...

Personal Trainer Reveals How to Eat For Weight...
While extensive research has been directed towards food types, hormones, exercise, metabolism, genetics etc. people still struggle to lose weight. Why? Because knowledge can help you understand why you are overweight but it won't change your behaviour. Our behaviour and our relationship with food is what ultimately decides what we put in our mouth.

To explore this idea lets look at some of the reasons fad diets fail and the general habits of thin people. Reasons fad diets fail: - Complete food group exclusion (eg...
The peculiarly Spanish tradition of the Siesta is known worldwide without having been adopted extensively elsewhere, apart from Spanish outposts. In the latter part of the afternoon, many shops and businesses close between 2 and 5 p.m. Rather than going home to sleep, many choose to pass the time at a cafe, restaurant or bar. Therefore, these stay open during these hours and have a later siesta closing time, from 4 p.m. to 8/9 p.m. in the evening.

A Drag Through Chicago's Hot Dog Garden
The Vienna Beef hotdog was first served at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Vienna Beef has since become the foundation of a Chicago institution, the Chicago-style hotdog. A true, unadulterated Chicago-style dog is steamed or boiled (sometimes grilled) on a poppy seed bun. It is then 'dragged through the garden,' as the saying goes, topped with mustard, diced onion, sweet pickle relish (dyed green of course), a dill pickle spear, tomato slices (or wedges), pickled sport peppers, and celery salt. These ingredients are somewhat open to modification and extrapolation. Sometimes you might find a Chicago dog with sliced cucumbers, other times without the sport peppers but it is a widely, almost...

Firstly, I have to thank Ritu for taking me out for lunch - thank you buddy! You have compelled me to write about the restaurant we went to. And so here is my first review on a food place! Its called the Big Chills in a lovely little market called Kailash Colony Market. Very different from the GK market. Climb up a flight of (steep!?) steps to reach an amazingly quaint little place that looks right out of a postcard. We were directed to the best spot in the restaurant (which, I suspect is because my friend is a regular who knew more about the menu than the steward himself!). Our table was near a window and a nice view of the market. First, the ambiance: The place, like already mentioned, is quaint...

Sometimes writers who are kind enough to address us in English even though it is not their first language don't quite hit their mark. An ad promoting a part of Tuscany as "The Delicious Italy," for instance, read, "Fine restaurants of Gubbio use all the fruits of the forest to make the very best of the pasta around. Mushrooms as well as rabbit and other wild game make sure fine red wines and kidney stones are guaranteed." And this "guarantee" of kidney stones, known in the medical literature as renal calculi, must have made the research of four Italian scientists named Cirillo, Laurenzi, Panarreli, and Stamler easier. These scientists at the University of Naples studied the diet of residents of...
