Auspicious dates for wedding/marriage in 2009
Here is the list of auspicious dates for wedding/marriage in year 2009, which is produced based on the Chinese almanac Tong Shu.
The dates highlighted in red are considered even more auspicious. Note that for year 2009, there is a lunar 5th month in the Chinese calendar.
You might aware that the mid-autumn festival (3 October 2009) is again in the list for year 2009. Another interesting date is 9 September 2009, which can be written as 09-09-09, and "nine" pronounces the same as "eternity" in Chinese.
Bear in mind that although the Tong Shu is a compilation of Chinese astrology and calendaring studies gathering wisdom of thousands of years, we should use it wisely and rationally, but not be too superstitious on it.

Using Thunderbird as preferred email client in Ubuntu
If you didn't change the preferred email client in Ubuntu after installation, it will default to Evolution.
Evolution is a great email application, but some people like to use Mozilla Thunderbird instead.
If you prefer to use Mozilla Thunderbird as your email client, just go to System > Preferences > Preferred Applications and select Thunderbird as your Mail Reader.
After that, you can also switch off the Evolution Alarm Notifier in System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs.
If Thunderbird is not yet installed in your Ubuntu, you need to install it with Synaptic Package Manager first.
