Gmail Finally Gets a Preview Pane
This might be the best Google-related news of 2011, so far: Gmail just added an optional feature in its Labs section that gives you a preview pane that puts the content of messages on the same screen as your inbox, letting you bop efficiently between messages without having to leave the inbox.
It finally gives Gmail a capability that’s pretty much standard in the rest of the e-mail world: Outlook, Apple’s Mail, Hotmail, and Yahoo Mail all have it. And so does the version of Gmail for the iPad and Android tablets.

Dj Tiësto
Tiësto /tiɛsto/ (born Tijs Verwest /tɛɪs vɛɹʋɛst/ on January 17, 1969 in Breda, The Netherlands) is one of the world’s most famous trance DJs. Although he has used many aliases in the past, he is best known for his work as DJ Tiësto. On his latest productions, however, he has dropped the “DJ” label and he is now known simply as “Tiësto”, an alias which is an Italian twist on his childhood nickname. He has also been voted “best DJ in the World” 3 consecutive times by DJ magazine and is currently ranked #1 according to the world DJ rankings, compiled by The DJ List, the worlds largest DJ directory. As of May 2006 Tiësto is the official worldwide ambassador for the Dance4Life foundation, fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS, for which he recorded the track “Dance4life“.
Tiësto’s motto is: “I feel the energy from the crowd and I try to give it back.”[1]

No Sex Please , We Are Hungry!!
ITS bad news for men women really do prefer chocolate to sex.
A survey for a shopping centre has found that while women put chocolate at number four in their list of things that makes them happiest, sex comes in at number five.
Among the other findings are that the top way for women to cheer themselves up is eating . It doesnt say what. Lettuce? Celery sticks? Not likely. More chocolate, surely?
Number three in the happiest moments category is in bed . Having wild sex? Dont be silly, weve already made ourselves quite clear with the chocolate question. At least there is no mention of actually booting him out of bed.
Had they given interviewees a choice of in bed with other-half or in bed alone with crisp sheets (ironed by someone else), bottle of Chardonnay, family pack of Maltesers and Prison Break on the telly , the latter would have won hands down.
This is pretty grim reading for men all round, but then had they asked chaps the same questions, I reckon the fairer sex would be pretty miffed by the results. So, just to even things up a bit, here are the official her lists, joined by my own him lists.
Things that make you happiest
HER
1. Being with family;
2. Being in love;
3. Holidays;
4. Chocolate;
5. Sex.
HIM
1. Her going to her family, so he can stay in and watch rugby on the telly in peace;
2. That bit at the beginning of a relationship, before mortgages and babies, when she is so in love with him she will have sex with him a lot;
3. Holidays she might have sex with him;
4. Beer;
5. Internet porn.
Top 10 best gifts
HER
1. A weekend away;
2. Cash for a shopping spree;

Happiest moments

Beirut Rafic Al Hariri International Airport
Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (formerly Chaldea Airport) (IATA: BEY, ICAO: OLBA) (Arabic: مطار بيروت رفيق الحريري الدولي) located 9 km (5.6 mi) from the city centre in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon and is the only operational commercial airport in the country. It is the hub for Lebanon’s national carrier, Middle East Airlines (more commonly known as MEA). It is also the hub for the currently grounded cargo carrier Trans Mediterranean Airways (more commonly known as TMA Cargo), as well as the new start-up charter airline, MenaJet.
It is the main port of entry into the country along with the Port of Beirut. The airport was selected by the famed “Skytrax Magazine” as the second best airport and aviation hub in the Middle East; it came just behind Dubai International Airport.
The airport is operated and maintained by Middle East Airports Services (MEAS) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the national carrier, MEA. MEAS conducts all airport operations from cleaning the bathrooms to de-rubberizing the runways. Operations are regulated by the Lebanese Civil Aviation Authority (LCAA), the Lebanese government agency which sets aviation guidelines, safety standards, etc. The LCAA is also responsible for operating the air traffic control (ATC) in the airport as well as regulate Lebanon’s airspace.
The rehabilitation and development of Beirut Airport Cost: $450 million, completion date late 1998
