Dear Friend,

I have chosen to live in a real world and spend my time & energy to know it better. That is why I stopped living in this virtual world. During the weeks I was living here, I spent lots of time to have a strong input to the system and indeed I did so, but I did not get the output that I was expecting. I apologize from my friends especially my brother if they were looking forward to hearing from me more here.
Any body who wants to contact me, please email me since I wont check comments on this weblog any more.

All the best
Ramin

Vahid says: What is controling our thoughts?
I think nothing controls our mind. Our mind becomes determind by enviornment, parents etc and we get some influence from them but still you are free to think in a way you like on the base of new values yyou learn in life.What I meant with the previous post was that we can choose our reponse to different stimulus in life. we are free to choose because of 4 endowments that make us uniquely human. I am talking about self-awareness, imagination, conscience and independent will.

We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. [Aristotle]

Our thoughts lead us to actions, actions to habits, habits to character and character to destiny ! so you can control every thing if you think you can.

It seems that the migration of high-paid jobs to low cost countries is becoming a major issue in business analysis factors. There are hospitals in Philadelphia that outsource their radiology needs to Israel. They use broadband Internet connections to send pictures taken from their patients and get answers by email. There are companies in London, which use services of architects from Thailand for their 3D designs, and cost nearly is nothing. They are paying $6,000 per year! The same job can be done with $100,000 in London.
India is playing a bigger role. General Electric, British Airways, HSBC and Standard Chartered banks and so many others have started already outsourcing their financial needs to India. The other main business is computer programming. Microsoft has already established a big compound in Heydar Abad and so many other development companies do the same. Even in Film making area, India is providing special effect and animation services to American companies. In surgery it is unbelievable, one institute has made more than 4000 heart bypass surgery last year! It seems that 1.5 million English speaking educated manpower is very appealing in globalization process.
The major question that comes to my mind is: what is the role of Iran in this globalization? How many percent of our educated people can speak English properly? Our business methods and financial accounting are old and it seems that we are living in a different world. Even if tomorrow Iran becomes a free country, how we are going to play a role in the global job market? We are not ready at all and this is extremely sad. I hope there will be a solution !

Time is always a paradox. Some times we seem to have no time and some times we feel we have all the time. The problem is not lack of time but it is in how we choose to spend our time. Key is to concentrate on essentials, which are our high priorities.

What you think is critical
Whether you think you can or you cannot do something, you are right. People are responding in two ways to the environment. Some of them strongly believe that they can make a difference in the world around them. Although these people may do not have control on every thing but they have al least some mastery over what happens to them. And some other people think that they do not have any kind of control on what is going on around them and they just react to events.
The more you think you can control, the more you will try to control, and the more you will control. Of course there are situations in life that are not expectable, but I believe that always we can control more than we are doing right now.

Avoid Regrets
All of us have some regrets about what we did or did not in the past. Regrets are part of life and they are not always bad, unless they hinder the future and have bad effect on our effectiveness. Some times we have regrets because our values change as we become older.
Regrets are two types. Some of them are irreversible and some partially reversible. For example if we have regret in not going to the college we can always choose to go later, it is partially reversible. But we cannot go back to 5 years back and select to do some thing else.
Whether reversible or not, we should not let them get in our way in moving towards future. We should learn from past and realize that we are free to change the future.

We can master our time and we can accomplish more and more that can satisfy us. If we accomplish more goals, quality of our life will increase. I strongly believe that Time is Life, and as we master our time, we can create a better life.
Cheers & good luck ! :)

I have the ability to choose my response to whatever happens in my life. I carry my own weather with myself wherever I go. Whether it is cloudy or shiny it does not matter.
I want to see the world with new eyes since I have learned that my dignity is much more important and greater than my moods. If I make my emotional life not on the base of moods or weaknesses of the others but on the base of self-chosen values, my behavior becomes a product of conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions based on feelings. So it id better to spend time and energy on things that I can control them (circle of influence) instead of reacting to or being worried about conditions that I have no or just a little bit of control (circle of concern). This should become a habit to me and in that case, I will be response-able which means:"Who I am" is not controlled by what happens to me but by the response I choose for it. So I will try to understand my values and principles in life and choose my responses to events consciously!

Who is the CEO of your life?

It is very common to see the world, circumstances and events through our own glasses. We try to understand things in a way that has been framed in our mind from our previous experiences in life, we use our thoughts, feelings, interpretation and motives to analyze things.
I have seen some parents when trying to solve their children's problems,start explaining how hard was life during their childhood and they should try hard in the same way and they never listen to their children properly to see what the real problem is . We have tried so many times to find a fast solution for people's problems, we have come up with a very great solution from our point of view but he/she was not keen to listen. Then we blame them, we say: I don't understand him, why he doesn't listen to me? But actually if we want to understand, we have to listen to them first.
Since we listen with our own autobiography, we respond in four ineffective ways:
1- we evaluate: we agree or disagree quickly .
2- we probe: we ask question from our own frame of mind and references.
3- we advise: we advice that person with our own experiences.
4- we interpret: we try to understand people's behavior on the base of our own behavior.

They say when we are in contact with others; just 10 percent of our communication is by words. 30 percent of it is by sounds and 60 percent is with our body language. So when we are listening we should not just follow their words and sentences; we should listen with our eyes, we should listen with our heart. We should listen empathically, which means putting us in the other person's shoes and try to see the world from his/her glasses. That is the way we can understand, then we can expect to be heard and understood.

The way we behave is on the base of some patterns that we call them habits. We can make a new habit or break a current one and that means we are not just our habits. Habits are changeable so our character can be changed too.
Habits are driven from overlapping three components which are: Knowledge, Desire and Skills. With desire we want to do, with knowledge we know what to do and why to do and with skills we know how to do. Because we learn these three components and not inherit them so our habits are not inherited and they are not our first nature, they are just our second nature.

I do like nature. It is really a source of positive energy. Here are some of the pictures I have taken from sunset in Dubai. They are just lovely.
If you are interesyed in them,click on the small pictures to enlarge them.

Some times I ask myself what is the meaning of life and I am sure all of you ask the same questions now and then. I believe we cannot find the answer in the world outside of ourselves and that is why I like to revise the question to this: Life as an existing fact is asking me what the meaning of your presence within me is and what value you can add to my system. So finding the meaning comes back to you and who you are and what you do. That's why I say Life is Time since the way we spend all our time defines who we are.
To manage our personal life means asking ourselves what kind of life I want to lead and what kind of person I want to be. So to lead a better life we need to change the way we spend our time and to do so we need proper-clear- goals.

Goals are the key for success. The reason some people are not successful in their lives is that they don't have specific goals. They just shift- or jump some times- from one activity to another one without pursuing a goal and pretending that this is life. They assume that things will take care of themselves or some body will do it.

Goals are coming from our principles and values in life. To the extend I know our values are in eight different areas: family, career, spirituality, social life, financial stability, health, personal development and leisure(including sex) :). Our goals should meet these values and to do so we need to distribute our time-cost for reaching goals- across all these values.

Goals should be clear and SMART and I will talk more about them in the next posting.

When we start a relationship with some body, we create an account which is called Emotional Bank Account. Like a real financial bank account there are deposits and withdrawals to/from this account. Whenever withdrawals exceed deposits the account is overdrawn. The only big difference between these two accounts is that we need to have continual deposits to the emotional account to maintain the balance. We can not leave it as it is for a long time and expect to have the same balance. There are many deposits and withdrawals to this account, some major ones are like:
Deposit: kindness, respect, keeping the promise, being loyal to whoever is absent, apologizing and being a real empathic listener to the others, having clear expectations.
Withdrawals: having unclear expectations, being disloyal, breaking promises, being proud and pretending to listen.
By having continuous deposits after some time we have a balance which will be used as a trust to start a real relationship. A real friendship needs a fat bank account which drives necessary trust. A very simple example can be found in this blogging community.

P.S: Is reading some body's weblog and leaving comments, a kind of deposit? :)

Is life playing with destiny?
Is life solving pre-described problems?
Is life trying to improve yourself?
Is life making more money to secure yourself?
Is life trying to control events?
Is life a challenge?
Is life worth it?
Is life real?

I am afraid to say....No.
I am not sure to say...Yes.

Do you know the answer?

Australian Parachutist Felix Baumgartner has crossed English Channel yesterday without any aircraft and just with his special suit with a wing attached to it. He has jumped from an airplane over the English port of Dover and after passinag the channel has landed in coast of France. [full story]
This is really great. This is really amazing, no doubt. He says I was like a bird. When you are flying over sea, you see sunrise, you see ships and people, and you see earth in a different way. You see your life-your way of life- within a different angle.
It reminded me the first time I get on board. It was in Ramsar in the north of Iran. We were in a summer student camp gathered from all around the country. They took us to the Ramsar airport and we get in a small 2-person aircraft-shaped kite, which was without any motor. It was amazing.
I like this scene when I am on board. You feel that system-of nature- is so huge and you are just a very tiny part of this system. You feel your problems are really ridiculous comparing to what is going on in the whole system. When I fly I feel there is a meaning in this life. Don’t know why, but this is always coming to my mind when I am on board. I want to buy one of those suits which Felix was wearing ! any idea how much is it? :)

God Father[Pedar Khande in persian] is really a masterpiece especially the first episode.
Every part of this movie has been developed in a prefect way. One of astonishing parts is its theme. Even right now that I am buzzing here I am whistling its theme - I have done this through last month nearly every day. I was searching for its theme on web and I found something strange. There are 10s or 100s! different versions of this theme and amazingly even Guns n' Roses has one. You can download three version of this theme hereunder and enjoy. but then you shoud whistle. Don't forget it.

[ "Someday, when I have the time, I am goint to ..."
Have you ever said that? Whatever you put at the end of that phrase represents a desire, a wish, a value in your life. Take a moment to think about it. In fact, go ahead and finish that statement: "Someday, when I have the time, I'm going to..."
Guess what? You'll never achieve that desire, and you'll always have regrets - unless you do something about it today. ]

The paragraph you read, is the first part of a great article by Hyrum W. Smith which is called: "Nothing Can Stop a Determined Soul". I strongly recommend you to have a look at it if you belive in yourself and want to do some thing to reach your goals. It's one of the best articles I have ever read.

Here I offer you some more pictures from Dubai.
I have taken them during last 8 months and they are from different places in Dubai.
I hope they encourage you to see Dubai better.

Circle of Concern/Circle of Influence
There are many things in our life which we concern about them like: health, security, children, personal care, professional improvement, war in Iraq, immigration etc. Also there are so many other things that we don't have mental or emotional ties with them and we don't care about them. We can put all those things that we care about them in a circle which is called circle of concern.
Inside our circle of concern, there are things that we have direct influence on them and we can change them. I am not talking about how to change, easy or difficult. Just we can change them. Those things are inside an internal circle which is called circle of Influence.
So circle of influence in inside the circle of concern.

Proactive people act inside their circle of influence since they can change things and they can make them better but Reactive people act inside their circle of concern and better to say they re-act inside their circle of concern. They get driven by other people's action and also circumstances.
If you act inside your circle of influence, you get positive energy since you are creative, you have control on whatever you do and you feel satisfied by fulfilling your tasks and making decisions, but if you act inside your circle of concern, you get negative energy since you can't control people's actions and you just react to whatever happens and it makes you feel depressed and you lose your motivation.

If you are proactive and take initiative to do things inside your circle of influence, gradually that circle extends to the size of circle of concern and it reduces the number of things which you don't have control over them. But if you just react to other actions inside your circle of concern, you shrink your circle of influence and you will lose control of your life which ends to depression, being nervous and leaves you without any goal to reach and any meaning in life.

So the first step is to find what is inside your circle of influence and then focus on them and schedule for them. Prioritizing them is not a big deal, isn't it? The only important thing is: Don't act in your circle of concern.

God.
Give me the courage to change things that I can and should be changed, the serenity to accept things that I can't change, and the wisdom to know the difference !

Urgent and vital
To have control on our life we shouldn't confuse urgent and vital things. As I said in part I, we should not leave high priority things in the mercy of low priority ones, but this happens since we have lots of urgent things in our life, and this is the main reason which we feel we don't have any control on our life.
Our life is full of tasks and things which scream for our attention. There are so many things we should do and there are some that we repeat every day without thinking about result. We do it just because we have to do it. But after some time you feel you are controlled by circumstances and other people. Your life becomes like a pinball! That's making us upset since we don't see any meaning in things we do.
The only solution is to make priorities -not just in daily tasks- and control our time.
Let me talk about it tomorrow. I have to go back to the work .
Enjoy your day ....

You read this as a living homo sapiens animal clothed in manufactured fabrics, staring at a HTML document delivered to you through an electronic communications system called the Internet. The Internet touched large populations of animals for the first time approximately 2000 revolutions of the Earth about her Sun following the birth of a being named Jesus. You are a speck of dust of biology on a speck of dust of geology circling your Sun, within a revolving arm of the Milky Way. As far back in time as you have been able to peer through your Hubble Space Telescope, you have learned that the Milky Way is one of about 150 billion vast astrophysical cyclones you call galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of suns and planets.
A strange introduction to yourself, isn't it? Yet that is actually a more complete description of you in this moment from the eyes of the Cosmos and distant future history books of Earth.

Whenever we think about such abstract ideas, we all seek to answer the basic questions of life: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is my place? These are difficult questions to answer. Let us start by looking at what we're made of.
You are made of Milky Way galaxy. You are made of the Cosmos. The Cosmos includes everything you smell, taste, touch, hear, see, know, or do. It is everything that is.
So now, Do you want to know The Truth about yourself?

I have taken some pictures of Dubai from my office.

Books Dont Ring

How many of us would like to do more reading?
It's clear that all of us will confirm that reading is very important. But how many of us have bothered to open a book and read 10 pages in last weeks?
We place a lot of value in reading and getting more knowledge, but we don't do it. Why?
Why the things which matter the most are in the mercy of things that matter the least? Why minor and not vital things outshine the major things?
Ok. Let's go back to the books issue. I think the reason is Books don't ring! If you get a call, it doesn't matter what are doing at the moment, you feel compelled to answer. Most of the time urgent issues outshine vital ones, and that's what happening to us in real world. We don't distinguish the difference between vital and urgent and it causes ambiguity in our life. We need to control our life and this is the first step. We sould reduce urgent tasks and increase vital ones !

If you want to come to Dubai as a tourist and you want to have a real good time, make sure that:

• You stay in a hotel which is not in Deira side. You can book 5 star hotels which are next to the beach and they have a great promotion on this season of the year.


• You come just with Iran Air or Emirates Airlines which lands in Airport No. 1 and you can enjoy its duty free facilities.


• You do NOT visit Day to Day or Gifts Village or other junk chain-stores like that unless you want to buy some cheap chinese stuff. Don't listen to Iranian satellite TVs; they are just talking non sense.


• You visit Cuban bar in Dubai Marine Hotel.


• If you want to go to the beach [you are not staying in beach hotels], go to the Jumeirah beach park which is clean. Never use open beaches.


• You visit Up Town in 24th floor of Jumeirah Beach Hotel


• You visit Emirates Towers, especially Scarlet and VU bars.


• You do NOT visit Iranian discos. They are really terrible.


• You go to Hard Rock Café; for dinner after 9:30 pm for one night at least. [it's25 km far from city]


• You visit Irish Village and Cellar next to it.


• If you want to drive Jet Ski you can find it under the Garhoud Bridge.


• You visit Wild Wadi aqua park


• You visit Royal Mirage hotel specially new section which is called Arabian court.


• You have plenty of pennies in your pocket. :)

How to manage my time? This is a question which I have seen so many of my friends – including myself- trying to answer. We try to plan our day but there are things which stop us.
Also, Procrastination has become a habit for most of us and that’s why it seems natural! There are so many tasks that we don’t want to start since we don’t like them, or they are complex; some times we want to do a job perfectly and that’s why we want to start in a proper time and/or we are afraid of failure.
There are so many other aspects of time management like how to delegate a job, how to say No to tasks/people and how to get the best out of a meeting.
If you are interested in reading some tips in time management, click here to download a word file that I have prepared a few months ago. Prepared not written! :) hopefully useful - a kind of.

Henry Kissinger is still one of the key statesmen who mastermind policies of United States in Middle East. His interview with Politique Internationale has so many important issues to take in consideration but the most important part is when he talks about Iran. This is that part of his interview:

P.I.: You have indicated that you think Iran is a more complex problem than Syria for the United States. Why do you think the problems are so intense in Iran?

H.K.: In Iran there is the greatest opposition to government of any of the Islamic nations of the region, and there are many people who think that the ayatollahs are in the same position as the Eastern European governments were in the late 1980s. So there are internal changes operating in Iran independent of what we do, and there will be the problem of negotiating and talking to Iran at some point in the near future.

I wrote Culture vs Rationalism on July 15. Anahita who was living in that dormitory has left a comment for me. I would like you to have a look at it . She says:

[I read that about digital traffic system a few days ago, and I felt happy that the dorm-people don't need to check on girls, also I was irritated, that it's still an issue there.
I lived in sharif's girls dorm for more than four years, and it was always so painful when they called to check on us! we had a list of trusted people with their phone number and addresses, that our parents had to sign, that we could stay over night, and they had to call to confirm that we are really there!
Ofcourse every one was so nice to pretend that it didn't mean they are really checking on us, and it's more to make sure that we are safe and bluh bluh, but believe me it was so humiliating!
and yeah..definitely it's our culture. I knew people who really appreciated such rules, and felt their daughter is safer with such restriction. I guess even they could have complaint if later they found out that she hasn't come back to dorm for a night, whitch wouldn't happen often, but enough to make dorm people paranoid about every one.
By the way, did you know that we had a curfew of 8:00pm to be at dorm. I remember a few times that I was with relatives, and couldn't convince them to drop me back at drom by 8:00! so when we came back, all the doors were closed, and I was treated as if I've done some thing really wrong!
The dorm was in Azadi, and we couldn't even make it back for 8:00, if we wanted to have dinner at some area other than Azadi!
Another thing, was that we were not supposed to wear scarf leaving the dorm. (we had to have "maghnaeh".).so I remember that my friends and I actually changed at a taxi, or in the street, when it was really important a few times. It was all painful.
I can go on and on...anyways, living in Tarasht dorm, was both fun, and awful at times! ]

No need to say who Gibran Khalil Gibran is. I am sure most of you guys know him very well.
Some of his books have been translated in Iran and some of them like “The Prophet” have been translated more than once.
Once upon a time I was looking for English version of The Prophet but it was not available here in Dubai Market.
So I tried looking for it on the web. I found some websites but all of them have separate pages for separate chapters. I have picked up all those pages and I have made a simple word file which is easy to print and distribute. If you are interested in reading it in English, you can download it by clicking here.

Results of a laboratory heart-rate variability analysis show how different emotions affect heart rhythms.
So-called negative emotions such as frustration cause more chaotic heart rhythms, part of a physically harmful chain reaction. However, focusing on a positive emotion such as appreciation creates smooth and beneficial patterns.
Negative emotions create cortical inhibition or "chaos", whereas positive emotions generate cortical facilitation or "coherence". When physiological coherence occurs, the brain associates it with feelings of security and well-being. That's why simply taking several slow, deep breaths can quickly diminish the feeling of stress- breathing modulates heart rhythms, Although shifting perception and behavior, however, requires more than regulated breathing, as I will explain later.

"Am I living they way I want to live?" This is the question which all of us ask ourselves now and then. Most of the time we are so busy with our work that we can not recognize our chances end even our choices specially if you are living in Iran which every thing is upside down. This awakening signal comes in different ways. some times we will we are trapped in our frustrating work. some times this signal comes when we face an ethical challenge. There are strategies which help you to find out where you are and where you are headed and where you want to be. The first article of a fantastic book explains it very well. "Managing Your Career" is a series of articles from Harvard Business Review which has been published as a book by HBS Press. I strongly recommend you to read this book if you want to step up success ladder in your business/personal life. Index of articles of this book: - Reawakening your passion for work - Goodbye Career, Hello success - The right way to be fired - Managing Oneself - A Second Career: The Possible Dream - Five Strategies of Successful Part-Time Work - Managing Your Boss - A Survival Guide for Leaders All the best !

Changes are part of our life and work and we have to deal with them. I am talking about major changes like changing work, country, citizenship etc. It seems most of the time we are afraid of changes since naturally we like to be in our comfort-zone and enjoy that stability. This stability some times costs a lot. We lose our creativity and don’t take risks, and still expect to have improvement in personal and professional life. But there are so many cases that we should accept the change and look for better in another context. I have just read a book about change which called ‘who moved my cheese?’ and it’s amazing. I strongly suggest you to read this book. I have received PDF format of the book which you can download by clicking here. If you are interested in having a look inside the book, just click on the image in the right side. I hope you enjoy it !

You choose to let things bother you, but you can choose not to let.

Today I have visited two websites. The first one was about dormitories in Sweden and second one about dormitories in Iran.
Just have a look at them. If you don't lose your temper, you have really strong control on your nerves.

Sweden:
[Most dormitories have 10-15 single rooms in each corridor. A single room must not be occupied by more than one person - a rule which is strictly enforced. A kitchen is shared by 4-15 students. Female and male students live in the same corridor. Often there is also a communal television room.] click here to read more

Iran:
[Girl's dormitories in Sharif University [The best technolgy university in Iran] will be controlled by digital traffic system.
Installing this system will help watchmen to control presence or absence of any body in the dormitory. It seems that girl students were getting annoyed with watchmen knocking on doors to make sure they are in their cells! through night!] click here to read more [in persian]

Sooo what !!!!!! Doesn't it mean that this people deserve this government !!! wow such a culture !!!

Every body talks and writes about politics these days.
Khatami should resign. Students are in hunger strike. Canadian-Iranian photographer has been killed by hardliners in Iran and so many other bad news we receive from Iran. It is really sad but keeping track of events and being involved daily, just takes your positive energy away, if ups and downs of life leave any behind!
I don’t mean I don’t care what is going on in Iran, but I mean we need to make balance. Let’s talk, write, inform and not be passive but at the same time let’s be active in other aspects of life. Let's be rational. I belive our problems are not just limited to politics. We are really lacking in some basics.
There are so many people who are discussing politics on web, so I have decided to leave it to them, since I believe I am neither a politician nor an analyst. That’s why I want to write a little bit differently.

If you want to satisfy every body, you will fail definitely.
The segment that I am targeting is individuals who are trying to improve their personal and professional lives. Whoever is interested in leadership and management, business administration, personal management and time management. Junior executives which are in first level management positions and also young graduates who have started their professional lives recently are welcome too.
To put in a nut shell, I want to share my ideas and thoughts with people who are educated and want improvement in their lives in all aspects. I’ll try to talk about issues which are in my circle of influence and I hope I’ll have chance to make good friends. I’ll let you know later about circle of influence.

The war between Italian Premier Berlusconi and Germans is not over yet. But it seems Italians all like this game.
Some how Iranians are so similar. They both are good in Arts, both have great artists, both have corrupted system, both are pleasure-centered, both are good in movie industry, both like womanizing and both are selfish.
Have a look at this funny flash clip[2 MB]. It's exaggerated but to some extent it's true.
Doesn’t it remind you Iran in all cases?

Khatmi offers to resign since popular feeling against him has been increased.
But I believe among different options for Iran, this is least appealing. who can guarantee whoever comes after him is not more in line with hardliners?
Most of the young generation is frustrated since they believe Khatami was not successful in accomplishing whatever he has promised in his election campaign.

Although Iran always has suffered from closed-system and chronic paradoxes, but this time pain is increasing dramatically.

Is Iran going to be in chaos if he resigns? Is this the proper treatment? I don't know.

What I really believe is: Religion should be seperate from State.

Apart from lacking a democratic system and free press in Middle Eastern countries, which makes people to use weblog to communicate, writing has been the main way for man to represent himself. But this representation has different reasons.
What I believe is, it is fully dependent on the writer’s character, personality and needs.

Let’s have a look at the Maslow's hierarchy of needs. He believes that the following needs come after each other and different people reach different levels of this hierarchy.

Man’s needs:
Physiological: food drink
Safety: security
Social: acceptance
Self-esteem: approval, recognition
Self-actualization: development of own potential, finding self-fulfillment

So why do you log on web? Certainly not for the first needs! Isn’t it ?

Mate,
Not to be critical, I just had a look at your weblog, and must say that I was not impressed. During our conversation searching for a name, you had mentioned that you want your site to be 'different'. Frankly, I was not impressed at all, and I think, if you want to spend your time writing something, should be respectable and representative of yourself/ idea etc..
I didn't feel words like "dude" and such tell me much about you apart from some one who watches lots of Hollywood films...
Sorry for being a pain.. But will invite you for a coffee to ease the pain..!!

This is my first sentence on blogger.
Special Thanks for Solange to encourage me in making this up !

I'll try to split some of my time to share it with you guys, whoever is interested.
Cheers
