Food: Pickled Eggs
Pickled Eggs.Ew.
...Pickled eggs have been around for years, even before fridges were introduced. During those times, people found a way of preserving the eggs, so that they remained fresher for longer...
- Help With Cooking
...A poor man's caviar, pickled eggs have long been popular with the masses who enjoy eating these tasty eggs and downing a cold beer or two to enhance the occasion. Essentially, pickled eggs are made by combining boiled, shelled eggs with a mixture of ingredients and then letting the combination pickle in a refrigerator for a period of two days to three weeks...

Strong Interest, FIRO-B, Benchmark, Skillscope and MBTI
I am now certified to run all these instruments. I did MBTI last year.
About MBTI®
The MBTI tool is the most widely used personality instrument in the world, with over two million taking it annually. It is a self-report personality questionnaire used to measure and describe people’s preferences for how they like to get information, make decisions and orient their lives. It is based on Carl Jung’s theory of perception and judgment and classifies people into 16 broad personality Types.
About FIRO-B®
The FIRO (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation™) instrument is a powerful personality tool that assesses how a person typically behaves towards others and how that person would like others to behave towards him or her. It assesses interpersonal style and its appropriateness in relationships on three levels: Inclusion, Control and Affection. It is ideally suited to team building and development, individual and leadership development and relationship counselling.
About Strong Interest Inventory®
Strong is the world’s leading and best researched measure of occupational interests. It is used to help people understand their work interests and to illustrate the kinds of work from which they might gain satisfaction. It is a vital tool for counselors working with students exploring career options and subject choices, clients considering or exploring job changes, those interested in career development and people interested in understanding job satisfaction and dissatisfaction.
About Benchmarks® & SKILLSCOPE®
They are comprehensive multi-rater feedback instruments from the Center for Creative Leadership®. As 360° assessment tools they provide individuals with in-depth feedback into their development and help identify and enhance development plans. They can only be administered by certified professionals and this program provides that certification.

Blackberry: etp@etp ..... messages
Out of the blue, I couldn't send out messages with my Blackberry 8820.
Everytime I tried sending out an email, I got an email from etp@etp etc etc..
According to Blackberry from O2:
During the installation of the Desktop Manager CD you have selected the BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Desktop Redirector option instead of the BlackBerry Internet Service option. You should un-install the BlackBerry software and re-install making sure you choose the option for the BlackBerry Internet Service.
I am going to try that now.
Waitaminit.
I don't have the installation CD with me.
Another post at Blackberry Forum had this to say:
I recently had this problem because I switched to a used BB that must have used BES. I'm a BIS subscriber, too. These messages have something to do with being set up somewhere as BES, erroneously. Here are some things to check.
First, did you set up Desktop Manager using the Desktop Redirector option? You shouldn't. If you did, uninstall it and install it again as BIS.
Second, did you get this device from someone else, as I did? There might be extra service books on it that you don't need. Go to Options/Advanced/Service Book and delete any books for Desktop. I think I had two of them; maybe one was CMIME. In any event, delete them and you won't get that message anymore, I think.
The last part, '...I think.', scares me.
Ohhhkay!
Options > Advanced > Service Book on my device does show 2 service books for Desktop:
Desktop(CICAL)
Desktop(CMIME)
According to Blackberry FAQ,
Solution:
Step 1: You have installed Desktop Manager using the 'Desktop Redirector' option.
If you're not using Redirector, you should uninstall Desktop Manager and then reinstall it using the BlackBerry Internet Service option.
Step 2: On your device, go to: Options > Advanced > Service Book, and delete all service books for [Desktop]
The problem is, I have been able to send emails out normally before.
Why the sudden problem? I did not change or reinstall anything.
Duh... Now I seem to be ABLE to send emails without that message coming in.
My Blackberry HEALED itself!!

Lunch: IKEA at Alexandra
Ah hah!
Beat the lunch crowd by having a super early lunch.
Meatballs + a slice of Princess Cake + an orange juice.
Stole some salt satchets to bring along on my next trip.
I am such a klepto.

2.5 Smiling Suns
1 for Will Smith
1.5 for Jason Bateman. I just like that guy, okay?
1 for Charlize.
-1 for the "we are gods" cheesy, lazy, we-give-up story line.
Will Smith as a super being... Is being too close with Tom Cruise making him slightly delusional, too?
With modern technology, wouldn't the problem of the two superbeings not being able to be together, be solved?
So many questions, so little story.
This would be a fantastic pilot to a TV series though.
Will Will Smith return to TV?
I await with bated breath!
*bates breath*
