A Message by George Carlin:

2011-09-02T00:33:00.000+01:00

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to other people....Who cares?"

Ebay Customer Services

2011-08-13T17:12:00.000+01:00

I am a Ebay shop owner and recently I had some issues with Ebay. Ebay is quite happy to take your money (often over £500 in fees per month) but its complaints resolution service is appalling.

There appear to be no UK based staff to resolve issues and the call center staff have no knowledge of UK consumer law.

A member of the Ebay staff was rude to me and lacked the ability to communicate effectively in UK English.

The complaint was made a week ago, I have phoned daily and every day I get told different things by the ebay staff.

After a week of loosing £200 per day, I am still no more informed than I was at the start of this process and my complaints have fallen upon deaf ears - no one has got back to me at all with an answer and I am no closer to getting a refund of my shop fees.

If this goes on for another week I will have no option but to take them to the small claims court.

I will keep you posted on how it goes.

Getting Healthy - time to get a personal trainer?

2011-08-07T23:40:00.000+01:00

It's not long now till I turn 30. I know it's just a number, but it got me thinking about my lifestyle. So for the month of August I will be avoiding alcohol, tobacco and unhealthy foods. I am now 7 days in and it is going reasonably well.

In addition to that I've saved a fortune. I was shocked to find that I spent over £200 per week on these three vices. Now the question is, what to do with my new found wealth?

I have decided to take the plunge and join a gym. Having done this several times before in the past and never having kept it up - I feel a different approach is required this time. Maybe it's time to get a personal trainer?

My friend Steve has been a personal trainer for several years now and I figured he would be a good person to ask for help.

I have decided to train with Steve near Moorgate as it is relatively easy to get to for each of us and the local facilities are great.

I'll keep you posted on how I progress with the assistance of a personal trainer. If you would like more information on Steve's business and his personal training business you can find out by clicking here.

Bashar al-Assad Quotes

2011-08-05T22:15:00.000+01:00

America is interested in re-arranging the region as it sees fit.

Armies are not only for offensives.

As far as we are concerned, we Syria have not changed.

As soon as the legitimate Lebanese government is convinced that the conditions have ripened and that Lebanon is able to maintain stability on its own... Then, the Syrian forces will return to their homeland.

But the issue has to do with land, which is our land.

Despite the ethnic diversity within each nation, the social fabric of the region by and large is one.

Hizbullah is not a militia.

Is there an equality of power between America and Iraq? Definitely not; however, the Iraqi people are standing fast and are defending their land courageously.

Israel does not care about the international public opinion.

Israel ranks her priorities in the following way: security, land, and water.

Israeli interests are not necessarily in harmony with the American interests.

It is even more so when it comes to Iraq, which is a large Arab country with scientific, material, and human resources and is able to accomplish, at the least, what Lebanon accomplished, and more.

It is natural that we should always expect an Israeli attack, even when it does not threaten.

It should be known that Israel is based on treachery.

It would be a mistake to link anything that Israel does to a certain circumstance. And it is a mistake to feel comfortable in any circumstance just because Israel did not act on it.

Lebanon was under Israeli occupation, up to its capital, but we did not consider that a disaster. Why? Because it was very clear that there are ways to resist.

No doubt that the U.S. is a super-power capable of conquering a relatively small country, but is it able to control it?

The logical thing is to implement the Arab Defense Agreement.

The most significant indicator that there is no disaster in Iraq is the fact that there is no exodus.

The problem is not the occupation, but how people deal with it.

The U.S. and Britain are incapable of controlling all of Iraq.

Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.

We are dealing with treachery and threats, which accompanied the establishment of Israel.

We believe that Lebanon has been the first real experience for all the Arabs.

We, in Syria, our point of view stems from our experience.

When Lebanon started its resistance it was a small and divided country.

When our interests matched, the Americans have been good to us, and when the interests differed, they wanted us to mold ourselves to them, which we refused.

When we analyze this war in a materialistic way and ask when is it going to end and who will be the winner and the loser, it means that we do not see the endgame.

Worry does not mean fear, but readiness for the confrontation.

You in Lebanon, your power is no match to Israel. Israel, militarily, is more powerful than you and maybe it is more powerful than all the Arab countries, or most of them.

None of us and none of the Arabs trust Israel.

Since its very inception, Israel has been a threat.

The Israeli lobby has clout in the U.S., which means that re-arranging the region and controlling its resources one way or another, will serve Israel through its control over the American administration.

Amy Winehouse Quotes

2011-07-24T14:29:00.000+01:00

Amy: We're not planning a honeymoon. Every day is a honeymoon - I've married the best man in the world.

Amy: I'm not a fighter, but if I am backed up against the wall I'll kick the shit out of anyone.

Amy: I don't think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It's to do with how much anger is in you.

Amy: I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you. Rehab is great for some people but not others.

Amy: I'm either a really good drunk or I'm an out-and-out sh*t, horrible, violent, abusive, emotional drunk.

Amy: Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.

Amy: After Frank I didn't write for 18 months but when I met Mark (Ronson) I pretty much wrote the album in six months - he was so inspiring.

Amy: My first kiss was about 11 or 12 and it was with a Greek boy called Chris. .... who's gay now!

Amy: I like pin-up girls. I'm more of a boy than a girl. I'm not a lesbian, though - not before a sambuca anyway.

Amy: I have a really good time some nights, but then I push it over the edge and ruin my boyfriend's night. I'm an ugly dickhead drunk, I really am.

Amy: I can't even listen to Frank any more... In fact, I've never been able to. I like playing the tracks live because that's different but listening to them is another story.

Amy: (about cocktail Rickstasy) By the time you've had two of them you're like, don't even try and go anywhere. Sit down and stay down, until the birds start singing.

Am I the only person who cannot download their photos from Facebook en masse

2011-07-20T19:49:00.000+01:00

Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited to use the brand new Google Plus service. I love it, despite my current lack of Google Plus friends. I integrated it with my mobile phone - and soon had it set up to automatically upload all my phones photos to my account - where I can later choose to share them.

Despite my clear lack of Google friends, I decided to attempt to migrate all my photos and videos from my Facebook account to my Google Plus account using the handy "download my information" button and create a second copy of all my photos and videos on Google Plus.

I have in the past downloaded my photographs and it has not been a problem. The Facebook sites help section claims that this is still possible. However when I get my download the photos are strangely missing.

I cannot find anyone else on the net having this problem - nor any mention of it on the Facebook site.

Is this an attempt by Facebook to limit the exodus of people from Facebook to Google Plus? Do I just have too many photos? Or am I doing it wrong? Help me!

Brookfield Discounts - Viscometers, Flow Cups, Rheometers, Calibrations...

2011-07-12T20:18:00.000+01:00

Happened to stumble across a video today on youtube that points towards a great site ( QC Labs ) that I use for getting my viscometers serviced and calibrated. For small issues I use the useful information they provide in the guide, but normally I will just contact them and they offer a great professional service, which allows me to have complete confidence in the results my equipment will produce.

I also use their site for purchasing most of my lab equipment from their comprehensive catalogue, as they generally offer significant discounts on Brookfield products.

LulzSec Dispand???

2011-06-28T11:59:00.002+01:00

This statement was released by lulzsecurity a hacking group that for the last 50 days has been causing chaos on the internet for the 'lulz':

Friends around the globe,

We are Lulz Security, and this is our final release, as today marks something 
meaningful to us. 50 days ago, we set sail with our humble ship on an uneasy and 
brutal ocean: the Internet. The hate machine, the love machine, the machine powered 
by many machines. We are all part of it, helping it grow, and helping it grow on us.

For the past 50 days we've been disrupting and exposing corporations, governments, 
often the general population itself, and quite possibly everything in between, just 
because we could. All to selflessly entertain others - vanity, fame, recognition, 
all of these things are shadowed by our desire for that which we all love. The raw, 
uninterrupted, chaotic thrill of entertainment and anarchy. It's what we all crave, 
even the seemingly lifeless politicians and emotionless, middle-aged self-titled 
failures. You are not failures. You have not blown away. You can get what you want 
and you are worth having it, believe in yourself.

While we are responsible for everything that The Lulz Boat is, we are not tied to 
this identity permanently. Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are 
people. People with a preference for music, a preference for food; we have varying 
taste in clothes and television, we are just like you. Even Hitler and Osama Bin 
Laden had these unique variations and style, and isn't that interesting to know? The 
mediocre painter turned supervillain liked cats more than we did.

Again, behind the mask, behind the insanity and mayhem, we truly believe in the 
AntiSec movement. We believe in it so strongly that we brought it back, much to the 
dismay of those looking for more anarchic lulz. We hope, wish, even beg, that the 
movement manifests itself into a revolution that can continue on without us. The 
support we've gathered for it in such a short space of time is truly overwhelming, 
and not to mention humbling. Please don't stop. Together, united, we can stomp down 
our common oppressors and imbue ourselves with the power and freedom we deserve.

So with those last thoughts, it's time to say bon voyage. Our planned 50 day cruise 
has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind - we hope - 
inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, 
thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love. If anything, we hope we had a microscopic 
impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.

Thank you for sailing with us. The breeze is fresh and the sun is setting, so now we 
head for the horizon.

Let it flow...

Lulz Security - our crew of six wishes you a happy 2011, and a shout-out to all of 
our battlefleet members and supporters across the globe

Simon Cowell Quotes

2011-05-11T15:33:00.000+01:00

I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here.

I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe Britain Has Talent.

I met someone the other night who's 28 years old, and he hasn't worked a day since he left college because he's pursuing a dream he'll never, ever realize: He thinks he's a great singer. Actually, he's crap.

I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there.

I think you have to judge everything based on your personal taste. And if that means being critical, so be it. I hate political correctness. I absolutely loathe it.

If I said to most of the people who auditioned, 'Good job, awesome, well done,' it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It's quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.

If we had to choose one American Idol to go out to dinner with, it would be Fantasia. There are no airs and graces about her... I like her.

If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention.

If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.

My attitude is, if someone's going to criticize me, tell me to my face.

My proudest achievement has been the success of the shows and artists I have been involved with, because they were made in Britain.

Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.

Shave off your beard and wear a dress. You would be a great female impersonator.

The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes.

The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner. The process makes you mean because you get frustrated.

We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.

When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum's house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.

Whether they run a record company or a grocery store, every boss will tell you you're in big trouble if you're borrowing more than you can ever afford to pay back. Delaying the pain for future generations is suicidal. We've got to start getting the deficit down right now, not next year.

You are a saucy little thing aren't you?

Rupert Murdoch Quotes

2011-05-10T23:27:00.003+01:00

I am amazed that CNN can't get its act together.

I think a newspaper should be provocative, stir 'em up, but you can't do that on television. It's just not on.

I try to keep in touch with the details... I also look at the product daily. That doesn't mean you interfere, but it's important occasionally to show the ability to be involved. It shows you understand what's happening.

I'm a catalyst for change. You can't be an outsider and be successful over 30 years without leaving a certain amount of scar tissue around the place.

In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.

Much of what passes for quality on British television is no more than a reflection of the narrow elite which controls it and has always thought that its tastes were synonymous with quality.

No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.

Our reputation is more important than the last hundred million dollars.

The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.

The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.

There is so much media now with the Internet and people, and so easy and so cheap to start a newspaper or start a magazine, there's just millions of voices and people want to be heard.

You can't build a strong corporation with a lot of committees and a board that has to be consulted every turn. You have to be able to make decisions on your own.
