I DID IT!! I DID IT!! I FULLY RECOVERED MY DELETED BLOG!!

Okay, I'm actually missing 2 posts out of 63 that I made during last year.

For some reason I'm missing the post from Febuary 2007's "It's That Spiritual Time Again" and another one from December 2007's post, but I don't know which one it was.

I don't care! My next post I will show you how to recover an accidentally deleted blog and how to backup EVERYTHING just in case it ever happens again via photos.

Until then look at my other short post on How to Undeleted Blog here.

Study suggests that healthy habits can mean 14 extra years of life

Nice, looks like I'm already doing what's needed to add 14yrs to my life...
As long as I keep going that is...
Check out this article to find out the secrets of living a longer satisfying life.

LONDON - To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in moderation.
That's the finding of a study that tracked about 20,000 people in the United Kingdom.
Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and colleagues calculated that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didn't.
"We've known for a long time that these behaviours are good things to do, but we've never seen these additive benefits before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council, which helped pay for the study.
"Just doing one of these behaviours helps, but every step you make to improve your health seems to have an added benefit," said Jebb, who was not involved in the study.
The benefits were also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from. The findings were published online Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine journal.
The study included healthy adults aged 45 to 79. Participants filled in a health questionnaire between 1993 and 1997 and nurses conducted a medical exam at a clinic. Participants scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.
Until 2006, the researchers tracked deaths from all causes, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and respiratory diseases. People who scored four points were four times less likely to die than those who scored zero, the research showed.
Khaw said that the study should convince people that improving their health does not always require extreme changes to their lifestyles.
"We didn't ask these people to do anything exceptional," Khaw said. "We measured normal behaviours that were entirely feasible within people's normal, everyday lives."
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to help people adopt these changes.
"This research is an important piece of work which emphasizes how modifying just a few risk factors can add years to your life," said Dr. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization.
But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, experts said that it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviours would automatically gain 14 years.
"We can't say that any one person could gain 14 years by doing these things," said Armstrong. "The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically possible."
But experts worry that the new findings may still not be enough to persuade people to change their unhealthy ways.
"Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking is not good for you," Jebb said. "We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change."

HOW TO UNDELETE BLOG

Well, this is one way to do it:

1. Go to the Blog Undelete Utility
2. Type in your homepage *exclude the "www"*
3. Select "Google (text only)"
___b. THIS ONE WORKS BETTER TO RETRIEVE EARLY POSTS!!!
4. Press the "Retrieve cache" button
5. I "copy + pasted" each post into a Word document. You could also go to your browser's File/Save As.../ and save each retreived cache into a HTML file.
6. You will have to do this (Steps 1 to 5) for each and every post you ever posted. When you're finished with your homepage just "right click" each post and select "Copy Shortcut" and paste it in the "Enter your blog address" texbox on the Blog Undelete Utility page.
___b. You can try to select the months first and see if it works, if not, then select each post.
REMEMBER:
7. DO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, because eventually all the links that were associated with your blog will disappear into cyberspace!!!!

Basically what you're trying to do is collect your old data and then recreate
the same blog but from scratch.

I'm currently working on this right now and hopefully I'll have all
my old posts up and running soon.

I suggest you start with your favorite or main blog page. Because after awhile I received this error message after I finished the first blog page. I started to retrieve the cache from my 2nd blog page when I saw this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
403 Forbidden
Google Error

We're sorry...
... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think when I kept on copying and pasting each link, Google interpreted it
as a virus stealing information or something.

Anyway, I hope this helps!

Dreams of Fantasy

It's good to be back...

It's a new year and I'm starting with a new blog.

I know, it still looks the same except for one thing.

I have a shorter address to remember!

http://kim2thekiko.com

Not hard to remember eh?!!

I had to purchase it though. $10 for one year, not bad I think.

Let's pray to God that I don't accidentally delete this blog!
