I have been searching for an extension or widgit, which could help give me the word count of my posts. I wrote about it in my Freebies blog.
Finally found a Firefox extension called Text Area Word Counter on Anna's blog Bloggers for Dollars. Really found her post on Favourite Firefox Extensions really informative and useful. In fact in the end, I ended up downloading two other extensions, which I thought might be useful, namely Search Status and Smiley Xtra. The blog has loads of useful and informative posts. Will definitely be going back there more often.
BTW, if you haven't, click to download Firefox with Google Toolbar, the best browser in the World.

What is Emo music
You might have guessed correctly that the term "Emo" is short for Emotional. However, you might be surprised to learn that this refers to a subgenre of hardcore punk music. This music phenomenon is nothing new and originates from the music of the mid-1980s Washington, DC scene. It has evolved since then and now used to describe various emotionally-charged punk rock. Of course I do wonder, soft sentimental music can also be full of emotion.
Anyway, the Emo Hairstyles websites takes a lighter look at the emo phenomenon. They call it the "ugly twin sister of Punk Hair Styles."
Their zany description of famous emo bands based on their pictures are pretty hilarious. For example, read their description of The Appleseed Cast:

Isn't that the Edge himself second from the right? What a hairdo! It looks like a mullet. I'm guessing the guy to the right of him is bald. Why else would he be wearing the hat? To the left of the Edge we have fat Che Guevara who is going for the guillera look there. It's not very emo is it?When I last checked, they had 12 emo bands/ singers in their list, which is fast growing.
Organic food blog
My mother-in-law is a true believer in the health benefits of organic food and in fact almost everything in their fridge is organic. I too was influenced and a large percentage of our food purchases consist of this type of food. Would have loved to have 100% of our food intake to be organic but that's simply not possible. One strong factor is the cost. We simply can't afford it here in the UK.
The fact that organic food is much costlier than the normal food is one of the major reasons that turn people away from this healthy food. However, if we put into the calculations savings on hospital, medicine and other bills, we might actually be saving more in the long run as we are healthier. I don't know whether it's just in the head but we do feel healthier.
Anyway, if you are look for more information on organic food I would recommend you to visit "Live Life… Organics & Your Health". it has loads of articles on natural and alternative health topics, especially organic food. The site belongs to my friend Doris, who also writes in her personal blog and shopping blog.

Just another day
Gatwick to Orlando
I blogged about my childhood dream to visit Walt Disney world in Orlando in Florida. Yes!It's sad but I have never been there.
My friend was commenting that he won't go across the Atlantic just to visit some Children's theme park. Some people may disagree with that. Not wanting to get into an argument, I just pointed out that Orlando is not only about Walt Disney world. For those who are not aware, the place has over 90 attractions. This includes the Universal Studios and Seaworld. No wonder that Orlando has over 40 million tourists a year.
So if you guys are planning to visit Orlando for your holidays, you will be thrilled to learn that you can have a cheap flight to Orlando. For example, price of a flight with Northwest Airlines from Gatwick to Orlando starts from £150 (+ £130 tax). This offer is valid from 01 March 2007 until 30 March 2007.

On a quest to ending debt
Almost everybody I know has some kind of debt or another - whether it's paying for a car, house, or education. And I am no exception. "Broke as a Spoke" is the journey of Corrin on her quest to become debt free. She has loads of posts on practical ways to save money. However, she says that "I’m here to learn, not teach."
I don't understand how reading what she spent her money on could be interesting but it is.

Yoga is good for you
During my younger days in University, I was a yoga fanatic and I could do complex poses like the "Mayurasana" or the peacock pose with ease. I don't know why, but with time I got sucked into the corporate world and slowly lost Interest in yoga when it would have benefited me the most.
A few days back, me and my wife were talking about Yoga and I tried to show off some of the simple poses. I was shocked to find how stiff I had become - I couldn't even touch the tips of my hands behind my back, one arm above and other reaching from below.
It's quite funny that the growth of interest in this ancient Indian philosophy in recent years has renewed my Interest. I say philosophy because it is more than just bending your body into strange shapes. It about self control, meditation and much more.
I just came across this site. To illustrate that fact that, Yoga is not all about poses, this is a page about Pranayama, Breathing Exercises explained.
Go over to Yogawiz.com site and learn about the various health benefits and how to use yoga to heal various ailments. Believe me Yoga is good for you.
