Hello dear readers and faithful XT followers!

While most third world citizens are trying their best to get enough to eat, just to survive, we are doing our best to lose weight because of over-eating.

Over-eating has long been the subject of negative comments, chastisement and ridicule when the result is excessive body fat.

OK there are people who actually like fat and who like being fat and they are welcome to it. However, fat has many undesirable side effects which can ruin your quality of life. We don't need to point them out because you know about them already.

Over-eating with all it's stigmata must be one of the least harmful sins a person can commit. Ignoring long term effects, it doesn't really hurt anyone except the eater. After all, for many people, eating is the only real pleasure they have in life.

Eating is a great substitute for loneliness although I believe it can tend to exacerbate the problem by making oneself even less attractive to others. 
Being ultra skinny is just as bad of course.
Not that appearance alone should be a measure of attraction but nevertheless it does play a major role in how people view others.

There must be a gazillion cures for fatness.  I rule out plates of celery and lettuce.  I rule out exercise too - at least until I reach my ideal weight .. dragging all those extra kilos around makes me less interested in exercise as a remedy.  Besides, I'm addicted to chocolate chip cookies and ice cream..

I urge you to look at the Vitali-trim weight loss program in the next column. Now that's what I call a miracle cure!  I've already ordered the free trial. I'm already looking forward to the new slimmer me!  "Wait 'til they get a load'a me!" (thanks Jack)

Some say eating is a substitute for sex, but as they say in Gerry Springer's show - we don't want to go there right now.. Besides, I've got a very full tummy and I'm not in the mood .. :-)

Magical Egypt is our country of the month.

Wishing you good health and a wonderful month until next time.

In the fifth century BC Herodotus wrote that 'nowhere are there so many marvelous things' as in Egypt, 'nor in the world besides are to be seen so many things of unspeakable greatness' - and not too much has changed. Since long before the birth of Christ, travelers have been drawn to this extraordinary country and its pyramids, Sphinx, ancient Luxor and River Nile. It's not just the Pharaonic monuments either - it's the legacy of the Greeks and Romans, the churches and monasteries of the early Christians, and the overwhelming profusion of art and architecture accumulated from centuries of successive Islamic dynasties.

Modern Egypt is an amalgam of these legacies and more, juxtaposed with the often incongruous influences of the 20th and 21st centuries. Mud brick villages stand beside millennia old ruins surrounded by buildings of steel and glass. Bedouins live in goatskin tents and farmers till the earth with the simple tools of their ancestors. Some townsfolk dress in long flowing robes, others in Levis and Reeboks, and city traffic competes with donkey drawn carts and wandering goats. Nowhere are these contrasts played out so colorfully as in Cairo, a massive city thronged with people and ringing to the sound of car horns, ghetto-blasters and muezzins summoning the faithful to prayer. Egypt isn't all chaos and clatter, however. It's also a diver's dream dip, a trek across the sands on a camel or a long lazy punt down the Nile.

The WristLinx Communicator Model X2X is the first watch to make the vision of Dick Tracy (almost) a reality. Believe it or not, inside this little gadget is a two-way radio.  Don't think you'll be able to make cross country phone calls on this thing. The range is limited to about 1.5 miles. And it won't do you any good unless you're calling someone with the same type of watch. As with a cellphone, you're going to need to recharge the battery often. But for $50 it's pretty snazzy, and using it is a whole lot easier than sending text messages as all the kids are doing today. 
We are still waiting for the genuine Dick Tracy videophone
... but it must be surely only a few months away now (editor).

The Aswan High Dam across the mighty river Nile is perhaps one of the most controversial of the existing big dams in the world. Political, economic and environmental arguments have been raised against it ever since its construction in the early 1960s. But Asit K. Biswas, after a careful evaluation of the dam's impact on Egypt, concludes that it has been overwhelmingly beneficial to the country.

President Hosny Mubarak is much more than the leader of the great Arabic Republic of Egypt. He is a bastion of world peace and a charismatic leader of unquestionable honor and moral standards. 

Mohammed Hosny Mubarak was born in Al-Menoufiyah governorate, located in the heart of Egypt, in the Delta area. Upon his completion of high school, Mr. Mubarak joined the Egyptian Military Academy, where he received his Bachelor Degree in Military Sciences.
In 1950, Mr. Mubarak joined the Air Force Academy and earned his Bachelor in Aviation Sciences. Since then he has held many command positions in the Egyptian Air Force as a Pilot, Instructor, Squadron Leader and Base Commander. In 1964, Mr. Mubarak headed the Egyptian Military delegation to the USSR and was appointed as the Commander of the Western Air Force Base, at Cairo West Airfield. 

 During the period from 1967 to 1972, he was appointed as the Director of the Air Force Academy and Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Air Force, and remained in this post until 1972 when he became Commander of the Air Force and Deputy Minister for Military Affairs. In October 1973, he was promoted to the rank of Air Marshall. In April 1975, Mr. Mubarak was named as Vice president of Egypt and was appointed as the Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Party (NDP), in 1978. 
In 1981, Mr. Mubarak became President of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Chairman of the National Democratic Party. President Mubarak was re-elected by majority votes in 1987,1993, and 1999 for three successive terms. 

President Mubarak is married to Mrs. Suzanne Thabet and they have two sons, Alaa and Gamal as well as a recently born grandson.

I remember playing the demo for Pharaoh and instantly being impressed with the game. If the demo was this good, how much better would the game be? Later I finally purchased the game and have not regretted it. The graphics are perfect for this genre, gameplay is deep and satisfying, the goals are real and straight forward, and replay ability is incredible. If you enjoy city builder, economics strategy games you will enjoy Pharaoh. Think of Pharaoh as Sim City with an Egyptian theme and an actual mission other than just building a city, and you'll get the idea. Not only do you have to plan a layout for your city to make it attractive for citizens and beautiful to behold, but you most also plan your industry, provide entertainment venues, education, and most importantly food and water. 

You can download a demo but be warned it's over 50 MB.  There are free screensavers and theme packs too.  The background theme music by Henry Beckett is magnificent!  The tunes can be downloaded (MP3)
