companies are stepping up the war for new customers on the airwaves and the cable companies are answering with their own advertising campaigns. It seems like we are bombarded every day with advertisements from the television providers asking for our money and trust in their product. So who has the best deals? Let’s look at the individual players in this “war”. Satellite Dish providers sell you a dish that attaches to the roof of your house (or some other convenient location) that can “track” the provider’s satellite and bring the signal into your home. Most of the dish companies are offering the dish as a free incentive to subscribing to their service so this cost is absorbed by them, which is very nice. The usually ask you to sign a contract for 18 months and they offer a relative low monthly payment for basic channels. (I am old enough to remember the only thing available was black and white reception and only 3 channels.

TV The evolution of televisi
on has seen dramatic acceleration recently. Satellite TV has truly revolutionized the global viewing experience. You no longer have to rely on awkward rabbit ear antennae to bring viewing pleasure. Satellite dishes have become as ubiquitous as the roof antenna was in the early years. The world can now be accessed through numerous, and diverse channels, and programming. The number of options available with satellite television is overwhelming. Since the broadcast signals used in satellite television are digital, as compared with old analog, the results are crystal clear audio and visual transmissions. Broadcasts can be done in HDTV, or high definition television, which is the latest television technology. Digital transmissions allow a greater degree of flexibility for broadcasters. In addition to picture and sound excellence, there is a virtual library of movies, sporting events, and news programs to choose from. More than the basic ch

Weight Loss Survey: Why Dieters Fail To Lose Weigh... 2007-02-11 21:28:00 Weight Loss Survey: Why Dieters
Fail To Lose Weight Current levels of overweight and obesity, together with weight-related disease, have made weight control a major health priority throughout America. Yet statistics indicate that average weight reduction on conventional diets adds up to a mere 5-8 pounds per year. So why do we find dieting so difficult? According to a new survey(1), the answer seems to be: because we make 3 crucial mistakes. We don't have a good enough incentive; we allow ourselves to go hungry; and we can't cope with "bad days". The weight loss survey conducted by annecollins.com asked dieters to select the three biggest problems they faced when dieting. The most common problems reported were: "Inadequate incentive to lose weight" (76%); "Hunger" (72%); and "Bad days" (70%). Although these results will come as no surprise to most dieters, they highlight the importance of motivation in the dieting process. We examine how these problems occur, and what steps can be t Read more:Weight

Humor 2007-02-10 23:27:00 Brighten Your Day and Enlighten Your Life George Bernard Shaw once said that if you find something funny search it for hidden truth. Here are few pearls of wisdom packaged in humour. Enjoy. 1. You wouldn't worry what people thought about you if you only knew how seldom they did. 2. To expect life to treat you fairly because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge you because you're a vegetarian. 3 .Worry is like a rocking chair; it will give you something to do, but won't get you anywhere. 4. Pain and suffering are a lot like gas....they too shall pass. 5. Always borrow money from a pessimist. They don't expect to be paid back. 6. Anyone who says that swimming is good for the figure has never taken a real good look at a whale. 7. A bore is always "ME" deep in conversation. 8. Some people think their lives are full, when really they're just cluttered. 9. If at first you don't succeed, try not to be amazed. 10. A leader without a sense of humour is li Read more:Humor
You Are What You Eat: Triglycerides and Diet I mus... 2007-02-10 23:21:00 You Are What You Eat: Triglycerides
and Diet I must confess that I am a Steve Martin fan. Like me he studied philosophy in his earlier days. He plays a banjo like I wish I could. And he is funny. In 1987 he was in a movie entitled “Roxanne”. He played a small town fire chief with an enormous nose who fell in love with a beautiful astronomer played by Daryl Hannah. The only problem was she had an eye for a younger fireman with a relatively normal nose. C.D. Bales (Steve Martin), having a poetic command of the English language, agreed to coach the younger and much more awkward man in his pursuit of the educated astronomer. It is a hilarious twist on an old story. In one of the more sober scenes C.D.’s friend Trixie encourages him to pursue the young maiden for himself since he was obviously in love with her. She makes her point by saying the truth “is as plain as the nose on your face.” Well said. Many people today are concerned about their triglyceride levels. And rightly so.
Fitness Tips For Looking Your Best On Your Wedding... 2007-02-10 22:38:00 Fitness Tips For Looking Your Best On Your Wedding Day Every bride wants to look perfect on her wedding day. Selecting a dress that will make you look and feel great is an important first step. But what happens when you look in the mirror and don't think you look quite as good as you could? When this happens it’s not uncommon for brides to try quick-fix diets to help them get in shape. Unfortunately, many dieting brides make fitness mistakes that not only prevent them from reaching their goals but also cause unnecessary stress and sometimes even illness. Those are two things no bride needs! Here are five of the most common diet mistakes as well as some tips to help you avoid them. 1. Too much, too late. One of the most important things to remember if you are trying to lose weight is to start early. For example, don’t try to lose 20 pounds two months before the big day. The key is to plan ahead so that you can lose the weight (or just tone up) gradually. So if you’re dream-weddin Read more:Fitness Tips
Do They Make Things Like They Used To? 2007-02-05 11:45:00 I'm thinking mainly cars and bikes here but I guess you could apply this train of thought to anything.I mean plastic catches on washing machines,and you have to slam the door to shut it.They're going to last,aren't they? Yeah right. And motor scooters,don't even go there.In my day you could drop your bike to your heart's content,ie,fall off at speed,and nothing got damaged.Well,nothing mechanical that is. Nowadays,drop a bike once or twice, and not necessarily at speed and you've written off the front forks;still they only cost about two hundred quid so that's alright then.I'm sure it is from the manufacturer's point of view.Help yourself,son,fall off every day if you like.Er,pass.And since we're having a rant,hey it's monday,who's bright idea was it to put computers in cars.Yes,yes they're fine when they work properly (who's got a pc that works perfectly everytime? Exactly).Mix in a bit of oil,vibration heat and general dirt,all things computers love,and you've got a re
Oh for more T.V. channels.... 2007-02-02 21:58:00 I really hate watching television, but once it's on it's very hard to resist watching,even if there isn't anything worthwhile on. I mean,it isn't as if there's a great choice of channels
to go at.Here in the U.K. we,ahem,the wife, watch through Freeview and what an uplifting experience that is! Yes,I know there's satellite and cable,but I'll be darned if I'll pay more than the already exorbitant licence fee to watch television.We definitely need more channels,preferably showing watchable and entertaining programming.Why do companies think they can recycle programmes about three times a day and get away with it? For example,during that prolonged period of purgatory laughingly called the summer holidays, when you're trapped on a rainy day with a couple of bored junior school kids,I had the pleasure of watching the exact same children's programmes three times in one day.By the end of the day I felt (a) that I'd been brainwashed and (b) that I knew the scripts off by heart.Neith
Greetings and Salutations 2007-02-01 11:09:00 Hi and welcome to my blog.It's likely to be a bumpy ride because I don't have a clue what I'm doing,but, hey,why change the habits of a lifetime? That's about it for now cos the cat's just brought me a live mouse (it tries to pay its way,darling feline that it is) and it,the mouse,has scarpered under the couch.So catch you later,hopefully mouse free,with some disconnected meanderings.

One man,two wheels 2007-03-27 00:15:00 They shot me in a drive by.It was an accident.One minute I’m walking along the Liverpool street thinking my own thoughts .Next minute I’m on the ground in a pool of blood wondering what had happened. I wasn’t to know a drug dealer was walking beside me and that he was supposed to have been ‘taken out’ by the local militia. Instead, they damned near helped me shake off life’s mortal coil. Bitter? Yeah, I suppose I was for the first five years but, well it’s been a few years now and now I think it was probably a good thing to happen to me. Most times. The wheels get in the way sometimes, especially when you’re socializing. The ladies only see them and don’t think you can perform, if you get my drift. Well, if they don’t see any further than my wheels they’ll never know what they’re missing. Fortunately, not all women are born equal and even more fortunately I was lucky to meet one of the rare perceptive ones. She was…. Ah, but that’s maybe for her to tell
She could get some stick if I say too much. Anyway... 2007-07-27 13:35:00 She could get some stick if I say too much. Anyway
, most times the wheels don’t get in the way so much. Besides, they’ve become my trademark you might say, because these aren’t your regular wheelchair type sort of wheels; no sir .These babies are motorized and probably you’d say so what? Lots of wheelchairs are powered these days. Not like mine though. Powered wheelchairs need recharging. Except one. Mine. Hey, I’m not going out shopping wondering if I’m going to get back without someone pushing me home. Have you any idea how humiliating that is? Hey, we got our pride. Hell, we’re encouraged to live independent lives in the community. Well, let me tell you; a part of the community took away my legs, you think I’m going to trust ‘the community’ with the mobility I’ve got now? I don’t think so. Besides, they’d find pushing this buggy a tad demanding, unless the volunteer was built like a Russian weightlifter. Superman had his Fortress of Solitude and Batman his

I have to wonder though about the sanity of a man who wears a tweed jacket and plus fours and the inevitable spotted bow tie in this day and age. Obviously making some kind of statement; though I dread to think what it is. Maybe it’s what they teach them in shrink school. You got to wear weird clothes or no one will believe you’re a wacko fixer. Hey, here’s a question. Who fixes the wacko fixers? Dunno but he/ she must be one strange dude. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there.So I spent nearly three months in intensive while the doctors and neuro-surgeons waited to see if I was going to die after they’d pulled a few ounces of lead out of my spine. When I didn’t croak, the next bet going the rounds was whether I’d walk again. I understand at the time most of the nurses were betting on me pulling through sufficiently to abseil down the wall of the west wing and escape the clutches of the body bag boys but that was a sentimental po Read more:Maybe
When everyone realized I wasn’t ready for my woode... 2007-07-25 13:01:00 When everyone
realized I wasn’t ready
for my wooden overcoat I got shunted into physio and, as already mentioned, psycho. Physio drove me nuts but in the end I almost enjoyed psychotherapy; gave me a chance to try out different personalities and quirks, just to see what ‘Sigmund’ made of it. Mind you, there are enough people out there who firmly believe I never needed to fake any quirks. They could be right.Well, I finally got away from the torture chamber masquerading as physiotherapy and was taken for my ‘fitting’, a nice term for my introduction to a manual wheelchair. In the early days it was fine. At least I got around, even though I got pulled over for speeding in the hospital corridors. And once I got a fixed penalty fine for double parking opposite a gurney.No sense of fun these quacks.Now nurses,ah,they were fabulous.I think their sense of fun,despite the long hours and frankly horrible tasks they got stuck with,went a long way towards keeping me relatively sane or a
