Earth Hour
Earth Hour...
Off lights...
ONLY?????
What's the point???
You off the lights but ON the air-con(which consumes much more energy than the lights)and the TV(same thing)...
You off the air-con and TV and off the lights is much more better right?
AND...
Why only earth hour????
We can do it every day, right?
Earth Hour is just only a reminder.
So off unused appliances and recycle TOO...
Save the Earth so that it will be a better place.^_^

CROSSED LEGS may lead to invertebral DISC SPUR
Taipei:
One thing desk workers shouldn't do is to cross their legs.
That's the warning doctors at the Taipei Medical University-Shuang Ho Hospital sounded on Tuesday after they found crossed-legs made a big spur grow between two invertabral discs.
A spur is a bony projection. When it develops between discs of one's spine, one often feels almost intolerable pain.
Dr Wu Xing-sheng, cheif orthopaedist at Shuang Ho, said he found a 6cm-long spur between the ruptured fifth and sixth invertabral discs in the spine of a laid-off bank clerk, who used to sit with her legs crossed for a long time.
The 33-year-old patient, known only as Ms Chen, was fired earlier this year.
Half a month ago, when she got up to leave her desk at home, Chen felt sharp pain at her waist, left buttock and left leg.
"That's the most intolerable pain I've ever experienced, " she told Dr Wu when she went to Shuang Ho to visit him.
The pain, though mitigated after treatment for a week, did not go away. A magnetic resonance imaging found out she had a large spur.
The rest was easy. Dr Wu operated on her to remove the spur. She stayed in hospital for one day and was released.
How did she get the spur? "She worked the computer in the bank, sitting with her legs crossed for years, " Dr Wu said. She didn't change the habit after she was given the sack.
Aside from doing house chores, Chen did next to nothing at home for three months but sitting at her desk to get online to try to find jobs. " Her one sitting often exceeded three hours," Dr Wu said.
The old habits never died. Chen crossed her legs while using the computer.
"We gave the spur, preserved of coarse, to Ms Chen as a reminder that she has to kick her habit of sitting with legs crossed," Dr Wu said.
He gave similar advice to desk workers.
"When you have lumbago, or backpain, you go see a doctor and take some medicine," Dr Wu went on. "If pain doesn't go away, it may be caused by a spur."
One thing that may help one prevent a spur from growing is not to sit for too long at a stretch. "Don't stand too long, either," Dr Wu warned.
"Remember, " he added, "don't cross your legs!" The orthopaedist added: "Don't sprawl yourself all over a chair, either. You'd better sit tight.
"Don't hunch your back. Don't look at the computer screen long, with your head bowed a little too low."
One more suggestion: one should take a break from desk work from time to time, stand up and walk around.
The exercise keeps the waist muscles strong.

Red Velvet Cheesecake
Beetroot Sponge
335g superfine cake flour (also known as high-ratio or low-protein flour)
40g cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 Grade A eggs
200g caster sugar
335ml vegetable oil, warmed
2 teaspoons vanilla flavouring
120ml beetroot juice from 1 large beetroot mixed with 2 teaspoons bright red colouring(optional)
250ml buttermilk (or 230ml milk mixed with 20ml lemon juice, left to stand for 10 minutes)
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
Cream Cheese Filling
450ml whipping cream, chilled
40g icing sugar
500g cream cheese at room temperature, chopped
90g icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla flavouring
45ml water mixed with 7g gelatine powder (or 10g for a firmer filling), dissolved in a double boiler for 10 mins.
2 tablespoons Irish cream or Jamaican dark rum
cocoa powder, for dusting
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease , line with parchment paper, and grease again 3 round 25x2.5cm (10x1") cake pans.
To prepare beetroot sponge:
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together.
Whisk the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and creamy, slowly adding the warm oil, vanilla and beetroot juice. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed, alternating with the buttermilk or milk-and-lemon juice mixture in three batches. Scrape the sides of the bowl during mixing so that mixture is well-combined.
Mix bicarbonate of soda and vinegar in a small bowl, then add to the mixture with the mixer on low speed; mix for 1 min.
Divide the cake mixture evenly among the baking pans and place in the oven. Reduce the temperature to 160 degrees C and bake for 15 mins. until cooked. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 20 mins.; remove and cool cakes completely.
Slice the top crust off to level (if necessary), and trim about 1cm around the edge (so that it will leave a gap round the pan when assembled into the 25x8cm or 10x3"pan).
To prepare cream cheese filling:
Whisk the whipping cream and icing sugar in an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Place in a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
Beat cream cheese on medium speed until light and creamy. Add icing sugar and vanilla and beat until combined. Add gelatine mixture, then fold in the whipped cream and the Irish cream or rum. Divide into three equal portions.
To assemble cake:
Place a cake layer in a 25x8cm or 10x3" loose-bottom pan and spread 1 portion of the cheese mixture over it evenly, and down the sides. Place a second layer of sponge on top and spread another portion of cheese mixture on the top and down the sides. Repeat with the 3rd layer of sponge, spreading the remaining cheese mixture over the cake evenly and down the side using a spatula. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove cake from the refrigerator and set aside for about 10 mins. before loosening the pan; remove pan.
Dust cake with cocoa powder. Cut and serve.
