Whining - health/cost

Sometimes I have doubts about certain explanation for health care, assuming anatomy is differently determined by their unique biological creation:) But, my uncertainties often turn out to be just axiousness. I have examples of health problems, and many of them clrealy show my distrust:)
Backpain
I had backpains. Concerning about it, I went to several doctors. First I complained of it to a doctor in Budapest, she said it is a normal to have a pain and just pursue an active lifestyle. It continued over a year. Another doctor in London, told me everything is OK.
Eye sight
I got an eye-sight check at University Vision Optician in July 2008 while I was at UoM. Feeling unconfortable, I did not wear glasses for about half a year after that. Then I got checked in Happy, an optical shop in Ulaanbaatar which was January 2009. Despite my doubts, the results came out the same - in UB, an optician used only a coputer machine.
Then my eyes got dry and itching in February 2010, I thought my eyes got worse. So I went to a doctor - he reviewed comprehensively- tested sights, checked with computer, test-ckecks (walks etc) and microscoped through. Everything was O.K.
Knee pain
Something went worg with my knee after a day long hiking in forest mountain. Sergey and I set goal to reach a top of Bogd Uul from its back, where the hiking path dissapears only in the downhills. Luckily we reached our dream. There was a point I wanted to stop becaus emy legs were hurting too bad, but I kept going - no-one for help and I didn't want to cause trouble for my friend. Once we reached back UB, I could not get up and my right knee was all pain for streching and touching - note no swallaw. I went to a clinic of injury in UB, a doctor told me it is nothing - perhaps be my throuht ? - no idea. Due to busy queu, she refused to look at through X-ray. Steve, my friend who was visiting me from Korea, was shocked. A day after I went to an another clinic, a young doctor told, without X-ray, me it was injury of ligament in my knee. Then she wrote a cream to apply and adviced to have physical treatment for two weeks - which I was unable to do. The pain went two days since I applied the cream over.
That symptom occured to me again when I was running for a maraphon in Nishinomiya October 2009. So I went to orthopedic, he questioned and screened through X-ray, he said my bones are good, perhaps the pain was from ligament ingjury. He shot a dose in my knee and wrote a prespription of cream to apply. I applied the cream, which smelled strong mint. The pain went away within 3 days. He was right.
For above examples, my firs thought was to see a doctor. Trusting what he/she says really varies. I have more confidence in a doctor who explains with a tool such a X-ray. Some cases, a doctor was right without a tool. I shared my views with my mother. Her response was that she never went to a doctor to complain besides delivering her children (including me).
Oh on top of that, speaking of cost seeing a doctor in Japan? I paid a hell amount to the clinics for simple diagnosis. I am happy for paying extra because I trust the results are right. which is opposite in Mongolia. After all, I also think my uncertainty indeed result in extra costs which I might have not worried of!

MS Excel 2007: making bar-line chart combination

A few days ago, I updated such a chart that shows typical bar graphs and line would also go up the bars representing some other trend related, well inserting data was easy for me. I thought I could also create the same graph myself. Unsuccessful effort! Luckily my colleague showed me how. A million thanks to Kristine, I will share her advice here. So, just follow steps below in order to create a bar-line combination graph on MS Excel 2007.
1. Select data
2. Create a 'bar' chart
3. go to: chart tools/layout/chart area - here scroll down to choose a series [that you want to make a line/ or show a trend line:)] Once you choose, you will see highlighted dots on the bar which they represent the series. There, just click right on data set: then select format/data series ~choose 'secondary axis' plot
4. Now go to 'insert' menu tab and choose a line chart!

That is it. You will see nice a graph like this one.

How does it open?

Please let me know how these machines drop a pack(can or bar)?

Hanshin Tigers

Baseball is the most popular sport among Japanese. Hanshin Tigers seem the biggest baseball team in Japan. It sounds like Detroit Tigers, but Hanshin Tigers are more like ‘Red Sox’ of Japan.
I lived just right close to the Hanshin Tigers Stadium in Koshien, Nishinomiya just in between Osaka and Kobe cities in the Hanshin Railway. One sunny day of January 2010 I took my time around to explore what might be the ‘most’ favoured Japanese stadium:-) Here some images for ya!

spirit of the team, Tiger!
