This was bothering Fluffy

nobody@vox.com(xmangerm) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:06:16 +0200

The other day while grooming my best friend I came across a trouble spot in his fur. After a closer look I discovered that yes, it was a tick. I believe that Fluffy is much happier now that I have removed the little vermin that was feeding off of him.

I cannot resist

I cannot resist this puppy or kitten, therefore I will donate a small monetary gift to the Tasso Foundation for animal protection. Can not you also resist?

How to Remember

nobody@vox.com(xmangerm) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 09:47:18 +0200

While surfing the web I stumbled across some important information I want to share. And it concerns over the next few months, Blogger Bert Webb over at Open loops has decided to start “How to Remember Amazing Amounts of Information - Pt. 1: The Basics”

As a sampling he writes:

The human brain thinks in pictures.
The human brain learns — and remembers — new information by associating it to something it already knows.
The human brain remembers wild and outrageous things easier than the mundane….

Practice, Practice, Practice

nobody@vox.com(xmangerm) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:45:06 +0200

Over at the open loops blog I found some very useful information about practicing that will benefit all.

Part of the blog goes like this: One performer advised those seeking advice on how to reach his level of expertise to practice until the song, skill, performance or becomes extremely boring. He said that when the practice becomes boring, that’s when the magic starts for those in the audience. It’s actually at that point where the audience wonders aloud, “How did he do that??”

The fear of death is a big motivator!

nobody@vox.com(xmangerm) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:23:35 +0200

I anyone in Voxland didn't know my belief in Deism is the number one all encompassing driving factor in my life, therefore, I couldn't resist but sharing this very short passage (taken from The World Union of Deists) that outlines the relationship between Deism and Death.

“The fear of death is a big motivator for many people to support a particular religion. We all know, without the possibility of doubt, that a day will come for absolutely all of us when we will die. This realization brings fear to many people. It also brings money to religious charlatans who aren't ashamed to prey on this fear. In fact, it can be truthfully said that the revealed religions of the world all use the fear of death to put cash in their own pockets.

Contrary to this self-serving attitude of the revealed religions, Deism teaches that no one knows for certain what happens after death, if anything at all. It teaches that, based on the creation we are all a part of, we shouldn't worry about it. That instead, we should be concerned for the present and future of planet Earth and humanity. That we should work hard to improve life and also enjoy it here and now. Why should we worry about death when we have so much to do in life? And do we think so little of Nature's God that we don't trust Him with our future?”

Any questions or comment?

Litter control and Anger of the day.

nobody@vox.com(xmangerm) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:55:11 +0200

The picture on the right is of a trash can at a local park that contained a "Diet Coke" can and the picture on the right shows a crushed and discarded "Classic Coke" can very close where I live. The problem I have with this is in Germany each aluminum can has a deposit of 25 Euro cent added to the purchase price therefore the cans are returned to the store for the money back. However, these cans pictured are not subject to German law. Therefore, in other words the perpetrator that left the evidence is just ignorance of the law or just dosen't give a damn about littering and/or recycling even when exceptions to the law are made. The bottom line is that recyling is the key to a large reduction in landfillls.
