Eating Tip of the Day

Do not try to pass a piece of meat in between a knife and fork, instead stab the meat with your fork to hand to the person across the table, otherwise gravity may pull it down and it will fall into your neighbors wine.

I totally want to see these pictures. You could post it on Facebook, or Flickr and then provide a link to it.

That was our dinner in the castle. It was really nice. It's strange though because they often serve french fries with steak instead of baked potatoes.

Here's a link to the website of the castle...in English.
It is quite fancy...they even bring your meal out on a platter, complete with the silver top! They want to treat you like royalty, so they say ;)
And, about the fries...German fries are SOOO tasty! Not so much a fan of the American ones, but these, well, love them!

Post-Run Tip of the Day

This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

But, often times our browsers will cache items on the page (especially images and Flash™ documents.) This enables faster page loads, and less data transfer, which is actually nice. However, if you're a web developer, or someone who checks the tips site a lot for comments, you want to know that the information you're viewing is perfectly accurate. And, you don't want to empty your cache every time you look at a site. So, here's what you do. To get a page to refresh, and not draw from a cache, simply put a good old-fashioned question mark (?) at the end of your URL, and hit "Enter."
