Thanks to Darwin Barton

I lived down the street from the Augusta National Golf Course (where they host the Master's Tournament). The Master's is one of golf's most revered titles. Every professional golfer dreams of winning the green jacket. Golfers that aren't of professional caliber dream of getting to play the course. It is a private club and is very exclusive. Several years ago they couldn't decide if they were going to let Bill Gates be a member—imagine that! I have heard crazy stories about security at the National. The security is not just adt in their club house. It is twenty-four hour staffed security. I heard a story one time that some kid hopped the fence. Within two minutes there were spotlights on him. Within ten minutes, there was a helicopter with spotlights on him. The Augusta National Golf Club doesn't take security lightly. It is not surprising as the tickets for the Master's Tournament are one of the hardest, if not the hardest to get in the world of professional sports. I feel lucky to have been able to go to the tournament twice! Some people will try all their lives and never get a chance to get on the course.

How to add Google as a search provider in ie9

Posted: 28 Sep 2011 11:42 PM PDT

Interesting… I was recently setting up a new PC, and then installed IE9.

So far, its all quite simple.

Then I get the usual annoying setup wizard, that asks all the questions designed to confuse a novice computer user (do you want to activate web slice, etc).

At the end, I expect to be taken to a web page, where I can select google as my default search engine… but google isn’t there!

So whats microsoft up to?

I quickly find many posts saying:

hey, its easy, just go to: tools -> manage add-ons -> search providers -> find more search providers

But the problem is that I’m taken to a microsoft page that gives me the following choices:

Bing
Ebay Australia
Gays Online

So where is google?

It turns out that microsoft believes that if you don’t live in the USA, then you don’t want to use google as a search provider…

But the solution is easy when you know how…

Just navigate to:

Google search provider in IE9

Then pick google on the left.

I wonder how long this page will remain available, before Microsoft decide to make it “disappear”?

7 Ways to Maintain a Quality Relationship

Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:01 PM PDT

If you look around at friends and the people you know, the chances are that there will be a few recognisable types in there. Most women have a pretty friend who can barely walk down the street without attracting admirers, and who is never short of a date. And many men know someone, usually not the best looking in the crowd, who has just the perfect combination of cheek and charm, and always has the most gorgeous women captivated on a night out.

Very obviously those friends and acquaintances have natural gifts. But a true accomplishment is acquiring the skills and knowledge to maintain a quality relationship. Here are 7 ways to do it:

# 1 know yourself

The emphasis of this article is on 'quality relationship'. Just about anyone can spin out a relationship which disappoints them, or in which they don't feel valued, but maintaining a quality relationship requires you to know yourself and what you can offer a partner.

Getting to know yourself has been described as the most difficult and inconvenient thing to do. But the rewards are great. If you know yourself you will be happy in yourself, whether you are in a relationship or not.

# 2 understand compatibility

Not everyone you meet will be perfect in a relationship with you. If you have know yourself or have taken steps towards understanding your own personality, for example by taking an eHarmony personality quiz, then you will have a good idea about how to choose a compatible partner with whom you can maintain a quality relationship.

# 3 be kind

Kindness is a personal quality and an attitude of mind that is probably the single most important thing in maintaining quality relationships. If your relationship is working then treat your partner with kindness, so they feel cherished. And what goes around comes around.

#4 give & take

Knowing yourself and understanding others will give you the confidence to give and take in a relationship. The balance between the two is important. There has to be both give and take for a relationship to be real quality.

#5 listen

It's harder than you think to just stop talking or thinking about yourself, and to genuinely listen to what your partner has to say. But if you can do it you will learn a lot more about them, and appreciate their genuine qualities so much better.

# 6 act

Sometimes, whether you are male or female, your partner will appreciate you taking the initiative in a relationship. It demonstrates that you share a quality relationship – one that you don't take for granted.

# 7 enjoy

Enjoyment is an essential part of a quality relationship. If you are not enjoying the hard work of maintaining your quality relationship then it may just be time to get yourself to eHarmony to find a new, and truly compatible, partner.
