Would You Enjoy Life With A 42 Plasma TV?

Would You Enjoy Life With A 42 Plasma TV?: "Before my 42 plasma tv, I had a standard 17 tv.
It was okay, I mean I could make out what was on the screen, and actually thought I was getting a pretty good picture, but boy I didn’t know what I was missing out on.
The best thing about my 42 plasma tv is the surround sound system.
It means that the action is all around me in 360, so that its more than just watching tv. My 16 year old son calls it “more real than real,” and I can’t help but agree. What with the massive, highe resolution 42 plasma tv picture, and the beautiful stereophonic sound, I don’t even really need to leave the house to have fun any more. I can sit around all day watching my 42 plasma tv, and never get bored. It must be a guy thing.

Here’s The Info » Are you choosing between a Ford Focus vs. Honda Civic Sedan?

Are you choosing between a Ford Focus vs. Honda Civic Sedan?:
"The 2006 Honda Civics have all gotten a boost to their performance as well.
The 2006 Honda Civic sedan now has a 140 horsepower 1.8 liter i-VTEC engine with a Drive-by-Wire Throttle System, giving it more zip than ever. It is also even more fuel efficient than any of the previous Honda Civics, getting an incredible 40 MPG on highways, and 30 MPG in cities. The fuel efficiency alone is a good reason to look into buying a 2006 Honda Civic, but they are also low emission vehicles. The

They’ve proven to be extremely reliable, efficient, and fun little cars, and are actually extremely affordable as well. Of course, my wife wants to get an SUV. Do you think she would go for a Hummer H2?
To be fair, you should at least take a look at the Ford Focus vs. Honda Civic Sedan."

Laser Color Printer

Laser Color Printer: "A laser color printer can have many advantages to a small business.
A few years ago, a laser color printer was affordable only to large corporations, specialty shops and printers, and overly funded government institutions.
Laser color printers and copiers used to start at about $10,000 and costs went up from there, with most laser color printers and copiers costing over $20,000. When we had a laser color copier at our business I was shocked to discover nearly every school in the area had one. Teachers still came to our business because no one knew how to use them and they were often not working.
Today, you can buy a small laser color printer for less than $300.
They are better quality, faster, and easier to use then the laser color printers that used to cost $10,000. They are much easier to perform maintenance on the older laser color printers also. Most parts just slide out to be replaced by just sliding in the replacement part. Color laser toner cartridges are available at local office supply stores for many of the popular laser color printers. You can save money ordering parts and a laser toner cartridge online."

It is amazing how versatile a laser color printer can be.

Cell Telephone

Cell Telephone: "My suggestion is not to give out the cell telephone number to clients.
Use your regular business phone number. When you are not in the office, have the office calls transferred to your cell telephone. This way, you help avoid business calls when you have the phone with you after business hours."
Nothing more annoying than a friend talking business when you are out for fun.

This is happening all over the world, not just in Australia.
Alarming Statistics About Child Obesity In Australia: "A lot must be done to reverse child obesity in Australia and child obesity worldwide.

If nothing is done, the possible 2020 statistic of 80% obese or overweight Australian adults may become true from today�s child obesity in Australia."

What are some things that still need improvement in digital photograpy?

Are UN Officials Getting paid By Terrorists

Remember the diplomats and UN officials from European countries that did not want to do anything about Saddam Hussain?
It turned out they were receiveing millions of dollars in kickbacks from Saddam while he used the money that was for humanitaian releaf for his citzens for weapons?
It seems these same people complain about Isreals attack against terrorists while they say nothing about the terrorists attacks againt civilains.
I just wonder if they get paid to be that stupid or it comes naturally when you are in the UN.

Symptoms Of Child Obesity

Nearly all parents want the best for their children. Sometimes it can be hard to say no when your child wants a little too much of sweet foods.

Symptoms Of Child Obesity: "Children can be prone to obesity simply from the choice of lifestyle we live in today.
With TV, video games, electronic toys and more, too many children sit inside the house all day instead of going outside and playing games to get enough exercise. How can you tell if your child is obese? Look for these symptoms of child obesity."

You Do Not Send Soldiers To Die For Their Country

It does not matter what country you are from.
If your country has a military, the answer is the same. Often, you here about giving your life for your country when soldiers are sent to war. On patriotic holidays, no matter what country you are from, we here about those who gave their lives for their country, freedom, communism, or whatever.
This is all wrong.
It is wrong to expect someone who has volunteered to be in the service of your country, to now expect to die. It is even more wrong to tell someone who had no choice about joining the military (drafted) that they are there to die for their country.
Yes, I know there the potential that they will die. They are being sent into harm's way.
You do not send soldiers into the field to die.
This is a common mistake all too many polititians make. This is how to lose a war or cause.
You send soldiers to make the enemy die for thier country or cause.
Not for your soldiers to die for yours. Not just to be in the way in case trouble breaks out between other factions. Not as a police force. They are there to kill the enemy, not be killed.
If killing the enemy is not wanted, then it is wrong to send troops into any situation. They are not there to die. General Patton was very right on this point, too often his remarks are not really taken for the real wisdom they were.

South Milwaukee, WI Is Turning Into A Ghosttown

I drove down the main street of South Milwaukee, WI last night.
In one block there were nearly 8 vacant storefronts. it looks like a ghetto.
I think this is due to dumb officials who think they know what is best for everyone.
City hall seems more concerned about which direction the signs are facing (can't have them so people can read them without causing a traffic accident) than if there is anyone there in the first place.
I interned at one business where I saw city officials come in to inspect the building about 10 times.
I only interned one day a week for 3 hours for a 6 month period. They actually demolished part of that building while that business was still there. The business moved and withing a couple weeks the building was torn down. It is now a vacant lot with a cheap plywood sign saying something like "Vacant lot brought to you by the South Milwaukee Planning Authority." It has been that way for a year now.
Poor planning if you ask me.
What idiots.

I Philips Sent Me A New Norelco Razor

My Norelco cool Skin Razor stopped working a few days ago.
The Cool Skin Razor has been the best razor I have ever shaved with, so I was planning to buy another. I then noticed the warranty was for two years, not one year like I thought.
I called Philips, and they told me to send it to them. The cool think is, they paid for the shipping. Can't beat that, or so I thought. They even called a couple weeks later to see if my call had been satisfactory.
Tuesday I recieved a new Norelco Cool Skin 7775X razor from Philips. It is even a newer model. I am very impressed with Philips / Norelco and would encourage anyone looking for a razor to look at the Cool Skin models.
I have had two day of very comfortable shaves now with it. It had been awful using a blade.

Children and type 2 diabetes

It can be hard as a parent or grandparent to say no to children asking for sweets.

You often feel like you are punishing them if you do not allow the sweets. Still, you will be far from punishing them if you can help prevent diabetes. After seeing what those who have diabetes may go though, I always thought it would be true torture to be a child with diabetes.

Symptoms of diabetes baby boomers need to be aware of

Some scarry statistics on diabetes.
Symptoms of diabetes baby boomers need to be aware of: "Every year, over a million new people are diagnosed with diabetes. About 200,000 deaths are indirectly or directly relate to diabetes each year. It is estimated that over 17 million people in America have diabetes. The sad part is, maybe a third of those people are unaware they have diabetes. A ticking time bomb. If they knew they had it, much could be done to stop its effects"

How to Take Great Fireworks Photos-The Not So great Way

Read this if you plan to take your camera to watch fireworks on the 4th of July

Many do have a �city night� mode that may let you get some good firework shots."

I used to see so many pictures of firework that did not turn out when I printed photos.

I hate hospitals

I just spent 4 hours in the emegency room of a hospital. Actually, I spent 21/2 hours in the waiting room and 11/2 waiting in the emergency room.
I can't help but think how much faster things would go if they did not have to do all the extra tests. Doctors seem to spend more time just trying to keep from getting sued. So many of the tests are rudundant but are needed just to say "we checked as much as possible, yes, you have ******." Which is what the nurse thought when you came in.
I am not anti doctor. I just think that we should let them be doctors and not lawyers.

Nehews and Nieces

Nephews and nieces are so much fun!
Yesterday one my neice was at my work for a few minutes. She is only a year and a half old. It is so cute how she is learning to talk. She is also still a little bit uncoordinated in walking and it is fun to watch her as she has to be careful when she walks.
I have a nephew that was her age last time I saw him. He was just as cute. It has been a year since I have seen him because they live in another country. I hate to think how much I have missed.
I am not a parent. I wonder if parents truly appreciate their own children and how much fun they are to us uncles and aunts. Maybe that's the advantage of being an uncle.

I hate mornings

Actually, I just hate trying to wake up in the morning.
I personally believe the best way to see the sun rise is stay up and wait for it. Followed by a 12 hour nap.
I tend to like working at night.
It seems that I am just getting started on my personal projects around midnight. This is why I have such a hard time with mornings.
I just hope the lack of sleep does not catch up with me someday
