I think swimmers, and no doubt all athletes, are improving for a number of reasons, there is the technology they use, but lets face it, how much help is a swim suit really going to give you?. Then there are improvements in diet and exercise/training methods, improvements in sports psychology and money. People are now able to continue in sports long after people in earlier times had to go out and get a proper job. This allows them to be full time athletes with the advantages to their performance that comes with that.

I'm using dropbox, and its working great for what I wanted, lets me run a couple of programs from either my laptop or desktop, I can keep currently active documents there, so will be available wherever and whichever computer I am using. Just what i wanted, tho I know some want storage I just wanted a more or less temporary place to have access to current stuff.

i tried to use rapid share once when they had the cats, i was never able to get thru the captcha so gave up, with that as an experience of their service, i am very hesitant to try again, and as for giving them money when i am unable to see if the service works, well no, not me

I really like my gym membership  For me its money well spent, they provide a comprehensive service and plans tailored to you individually for your age and general health status, when I first started going I was approaching 50 and was just out of hospital and could hardly walk far enough to do the shopping. So I think gym membership will be one of those that depend very much on your situation and needs. They are also a great way for some to get a bit of social interaction, a friend of my mothers, he is now in his 80's wouldn't miss his days at the gym, loves every moment and is happier and fitter than he has been in years. Skim milk, well, again thats a life style choice, and will depend on what you need. If you can find what you need at Army surplus stores they have some great deals, I like them. I tend to splurge on books, love books, and shoes, as app says, ya need happy feet

I dont know if you can still do it, and i cant find it easily now, but you used to be able to use an include command, include and the file name, we used it to set up chapters in a user manual, each file could be updated individually, and each was quite small, 10 pages max, but the whole document once combined was 500 or 600 pages long. ahhh here it is, it doesnt mention it as working in 2007 but it may http://wordtips.vitalnews...ining_Word_Documents.htmlWord provides a very easy way to combine documents, without the typical cut-and-paste routine. This is great for boilerplate text in your document. All you need to do is use the INCLUDETEXT field within a document. Follow these steps:
1. Insert a pair of field braces by pressing CTRL+F9. 2. Within the field braces type INCLUDETEXT, followed by a space and the name of the document you want to include. For instance, if I wanted to include MyFile.Doc, I my field would look as follows:
{ INCLUDETEXT "MyFile.Doc" }
3. Press F9 to update the field.
At the point, the specified file should appear within your document. If it doesn't (for instance, if you get an error message), then make sure you typed the document name correctly, and that you included a full path name. (You must include the full path name if the document is in a directory different from the one in which the current document is located.)
