			Is the Internet making as complacent as far as quality is concerned? In theory, the fact that we have access to the Internet should help us avoid mistakes that we commit in our activities. Let us presume that we are trying to balance our financial statements and are not in a position to do so. We can make use of the Internet and get in touch with other individuals who can help us identify the mistake. Or, if we are making banners, we can make use of online solutions that will help us identify errors in our work. </p>
<p style="text-align:center">

<p>			<span id="more-4439"></span>
<p>
			Yet, obvious mistakes are seen on banners that are hung in public places. Why? Students do not have any problem purchasing papers and homework sheets from the Internet. However, they do not have the ability to make use of the free resources available online to improve the quality of their work. In such a scenario, one must wonder whether the Internet is really as good solution or option as it is made out to be.</p>
<p> In fact, this point can be analyzed with reference to each and every technological improvement that we have experienced in our lives. Despite the fact that word processors help us identify the spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes in our work, bulk of the content on the Internet is not readable simply because there are many spelling mistakes and grammar errors.</p>

<p>
			The microwave oven, hot plate and other such solutions should help us cook good quality food without any delays. However, the reliance on technological solutions only enables us to commit basic mistakes when cooking the food. With the introduction of technology, one would have expected the quality of automobiles to improve. However, the work done with computers is very good but the work done by human beings is just not acceptable. The end result is that the quality of automobiles continues to remain poor.</p>

			<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt" > I wonder why some people are so much <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">louder</I> than others? Take my next door neighbours for instance, they don&#8217;t do <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">anything</I> quietly. They do not <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">close</I> doors, they <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">slam</I> them. They do not <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">speak</I> to one another, they <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">shout</I>. And then there is the DIY factor to bear in mind&#8230; They seem to be ripping down walls or building extensions just about every other day!!! In fact, I often wonder if they have shares in a <a href="http://www.lucasskiphire.co.uk">skip company Surrey</a> or a local builder&#8217;s merchants. They <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">always</I> have a pile of breezeblocks or a gimungous rubbish receptacle in their front garden! In fact, they will often have <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">both</I>&#8230; </P></p>

But the worst thing of all is (because they have such loud voices), you can hear <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">exactly</I> what it is they are having a disagreement <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">about!  </I>And believe me, they argue over some of the most ridiculous things; who forgot to put the cat out, who drank the last of the Sunny D, who forgot to flush the toilet after having a number two&#8230;. AAARRRGH!!!!  I know that <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">all</I> couples will have words now and then, but these people fall out on a <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">daily</I> basis! </P></p>

<p>
			<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class=MsoNormal>  I&rsquo;ve tried asking them to keep the noise down and they usually do&#8230; for a couple of hours.

And that is why I am currently looking for somewhere else to live.  I just hope that my new neighbours are a little bit quieter or I&rsquo;m probably going to end up emigrating to the North Pole! </P></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt">As I drive to Surrey on the way to my best friend&rsquo;s house, I am amazed by the bright lights and Christmas decorations I see on buildings trees, fences, and people&rsquo;s homes. It is wonderful to see adults and kids getting excited about the season. Many are expecting gifts on Christmas day and I am sure some will be disappointed about what they receive. None the less what began concerning me was whether Christmas has become just another commercialised national celebration. </p>
</p>
<p style="text-align:center">
			<img src="http://sharedlog_ai.s3.amazonaws.com/1324567320-merry-christmas-graphic-animation1.gif"  style="" style="text-align:center" align="center"></p>
<p>			<span id="more-4268"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt">I arrived at my friend&rsquo;s home only to find him doing a <a href="http://www.aspirebathrooms.com/bathroom-installation-surrey.htm">bathroom installation surrey</a>. When he was done I asked him what he thought about Christmas and its seeming commercialisation. We had a very lively discussion so here is some of what came out of it. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt">Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Whether we believe it or not, Britain is a Christian nation. As such tradition dictates that we go to church on the day and rejoice in Christ&rsquo;s birth as the saviour.  </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt">Every year while it was growing up Christmas was about Jesus Christ, church, family, and helping others. Normally there is a message from the queen, old re-runs on the tele, and some special Christmas movie or concert featuring some choirs. In the more recent times this has changed somewhat as there seems to be a proliferation of marketing on the tele, in the news papers, and on billboards. It seems that there are more ads about a new product for the season.  </p>
</p>
<p style="text-align:center">
			<img src="http://sharedlog_ai.s3.amazonaws.com/1324567217-christmas-gifts.png"  style="" style="text-align:center" align="center"></p>
<p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt">Parents rarely go to church on the day and the children have no idea of what Christmas is about at all. Many believe that it is all about give receiving. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:18.0pt">Too many people are concern with putting up Christmas lights and the tree and what we wish for is a return to the true meaning of Christmas. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">As a child, I spent much of my time drawing. I love drawing. I&rsquo;d sit there &ndash; we&rsquo;d all sit there &ndash; happily drawing away to our hearts&apos;contents. We drew everything we saw and all kinds of things that we could only imagine. Back then our minds were fertile with inspiration and all kinds of fantastical inventions: anything was possible. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Then, sometime during our later childhood, the puberty bomb landed, exploding and infecting every single boy and girl with different desires. Suddenly, drawing went out of the window and instead we all played kiss chase of sat in the corner and moped (after grazing our knee playing kiss chase on that ultra-hard gravel that you only found in playgrounds in schools the world over). </p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:center">
			<span style="float:left;font-size:1.1em; font-style: italic; margin:4% 13%;border: 1px solid #C6C6C6; border-left:0px ;border-right: 0px; padding: 15px;width:70%; text-align:justify; font-family: sans-serif; text-align:center;" >He was quick to dismiss them, saying that they weren&rsquo;t any good, but my uncle always was too modest&#8230;</span></p>
<p>			<span id="more-4193"></span>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">So my question is: when did we lose the ability to draw? I mean&#8230;most of us spent days on end doing just that as children between the ages of 2 and 12. We were comfortable with colour, and when we picked up a pencil and got an idea in our head it wasn&rsquo;t something to be embarrassed about &ndash; it was something to embrace.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">I was forced to think about this the other day when I stopped by my uncle&rsquo;s house. And when I say house, I actually mean the house he built. I won&rsquo;t go into detail any more than that, but let&rsquo;s just say that building a house isn&rsquo;t as easy as you might think&#8230;</p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:center">
			<object width="455" height="283"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PbKh2FVsaO0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PbKh2FVsaO0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="455" height="283" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Anyway, the point was that &ndash; and this surprised me &ndash; as we were talking a van rolled into the drive. On the side it said <a href="http://www.stanbrookandnicholson.co.uk/timber-windows-surrey">timber windows surrey</a> and out stepped two burly looking men who walked up with these large timber windows which were to go into the side of the house. At this point my uncle asked them to hang on, and then he fetched his sketch-pad from inside the house. Then he opened it and showed them exactly how he wanted to have the windows fitted, and the men pointed at the illustrations, nodding to each other.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">When the men walked off, taking the window frames round the side, that was when I saw the other drawings my uncle had done. He was quick to dismiss them, saying that they weren&rsquo;t any good, but my uncle always was too modest. In fact, the drawings showed real potential. And I knew he was chuffed with them as he started to smile and explain how he&rsquo;d really been getting into drawing recently, thanks to the house.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">So the point is this: drawing is something you can do at any age, and all you need is some inspiration. Seriously, take a pencil to paper and find out for yourself. You may even enjoy yourself and find a new love for an old and simple thing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
			Ask almost anyone what they think and feel about movie re-makes and you&rsquo;re bound to find they have an opinion &ndash; regardless of whether they actually watch a lot of movies or not. Why is this? Well, maybe it&rsquo;s because nobody likes the idea of something being tarnished. And I can understand that. Us human-beings are very protective of things which we think are good. The last thing we want is for them to be ruined.
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Now, taking this into account, I am going to put forward what I believe is a strong argument for the case of re-makes.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Re-makes are essential for one main reason (and lots more besides; if we can I will cover those soon after): new generations of movie lovers have every right to key into the same fascinating plots as we are right now. Personally I love the idea of Indiana Jones still being around in a thousand years. I love the notion that something can keep its essence but constantly change and update itself.</p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:center">
			<span style="float:left;font-size:1.1em; font-style: italic; margin:4% 11%;border: 1px solid #C6C6C6; border-left:0px ;border-right: 0px; padding: 15px;width:70%; text-align:justify; font-family: sans-serif; text-align:center" >if you don&rsquo;t want to have the original version messed up in your memory, DON&rsquo;T GO AND SEE THE RE-MAKE</span></p>
<p><p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">What&rsquo;s wrong with that?</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">I suppose what&rsquo;s wrong with that is this: while the re-makes are intended for a new audience, and a new audience does indeed see them, the old audience also gets to see them too&#8230;and this puts a taint on it. My advice is this: if you don&rsquo;t want to have the original version messed up in your memory, DON&rsquo;T GO AND SEE THE RE-MAKE.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">But that&rsquo;s easier said than done, of course; most of us are highly protective about certain films, and we see it as our right to go and defend that film and judge it against its original.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Another way to think of re-makes is as illustrated in the following example: let&rsquo;s say Gary is an appalling painter. He loves are and is undergoing <a href="http://www.saa.co.uk/tuition/tuitionlisting.php">art tuition</a> at his local college, but he needs MORE somehow. So he arranges for a private art teacher to come round and knock some sense into his tired old pathetically un-creative mind.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">When she turns up, although the tuition is great, Gary can&rsquo;t help but feel that he hankers over the old class. This makes no sense, really, as Gary never produced anything of any worth there &ndash; quite the opposite, in fact &ndash; but it is the way it is. And this is how re-makes are. Even when you have a great experience, you can&rsquo;t help but think of the original &ndash; whether the original was any good or a total heap of junk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I live in a village. It contains a playing field, some 1980s play equipment rarely used by children, and people of various ages living side by side in happy village unison. The village is near a town but it’s still very much a village, so all the usual village-ey rules apply. One such rule is that technology is bad. Another is PLEASE PICK UP YOUR DOG’S MESS IF IT DOES A DOO-DOO ON THE STREET! (This was written on a badly designed sign which screamed of old-age bitter frustration.) Another rule, as I recently overheard when walking behind Mr and Mrs Telings of Beu Street is this one: mobile phone devices should be banned on train.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Frankly, Mr and Mrs Telings might be well-respected in the village for their cosmopolitan views, but that’s not to say that this opinion isn’t total gibberish! (And yes, for my own safety and to make sure that my house doesn’t get petrol-bombed, I have changed their name here. So would you if you saw how Mrs Telings can throw daggers with her eyes!)</p>
<p style="text-align:center"><span style="float: left; font-size: 1.1em; font-style: italic; margin: 4% 11%; padding: 15px; width: 70%; text-align: center; font-family: sans-serif;">this is more about the issues people have with technology than anything to do with anti-social behaviour</span></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">What they fail to understand, you see – and this goes for everyone who thinks mobiles should be banned from trains and other places where crowds of people gather – is that talking on a mobile is completely normal and really shouldn’t be frustrating. Another question I will one day bring up with the Telings couple – in the nicest most politest possible way, as is only safe and sensible – is this: how is talking on a mobile any different than talking to someone in real life who is sitting right next to you? It isn’t really, is it? No, see? When you think about it it’s completely and utterly ridiculous. As ludicrous as <a href="http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/hybrids" target="_blank">hybrid cars uk</a> becoming the norm when it’s much more fun to drive a petrol-guzzling beauty.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Don’t get me wrong, I can see their problem: the invasion of privacy and the fact that this alien voice is intruding on the train’s peaceful, serene nature. But really, if you ask me this is more about the issues people have with technology than anything to do with anti-social behaviour. The sooner we all accept that, the better.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Not that I shall be telling either Mr and Mrs Telings my opinion on this subject any time soon. No&#8230;both of them have formidable arguing skills and you’d be foolish to go down that route&#8230;</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Talking in the cinema however&#8230;now THAT’S something to get angry about&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Mobile phones, cell phones, handheld devices&#8230;whatever you want to call them they&rsquo;ve become so interconnected with humanity that it is hard to imagine a time without them. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify">I was browsing through a mobile store the other day as my old Nokia had finally died and gone to the great mobile heaven in the sky. I&rsquo;ve been resistant to continually upgrading my phone as it seems that whenever I do my privacy becomes more and more distant. Information I <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance">read</a> on <span id="more-3903"></span>Wikipedia has made me even more paranoid. I&rsquo;m as bad as the next person though &ndash; I can&rsquo;t imagine going out without my phone in my bag. Worse, whenever I have gone out without my phone I&rsquo;ve almost had a panic attack and had to run back to the house to get it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Whilst in the store the main point that kept coming back to me though was money. I needed a new phone, but I wanted the best deal I could get. As I like travelling a lot, that deal needed to include cheap services abroad as well. A typical salesman &ndash; long slicked back hair looked like he&rsquo;d taken a load of caffeine and drugs &ndash; assaulted me with a speech that confused me for a bit. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry madam we can give you the <a href="http://www.abroadband.com/en/GB/home">best roaming prices for your journey</a> at an even cheaper price then you&rsquo;re last deal&#8230;this new android set includes 1000 free minutes, 500 texts and unlimited broadband&#8230;&rdquo; He went on and on.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">In the end I opted for a small upgrade that had the best price for me. The salesman was a little disappointed, but as long as I saved money I didn&rsquo;t care.</p>

<p>Research indicates that 4.3 billion video clips are viewed per month on Youtube.com. This is a market many online marketers find too alluring to neglect. In addition the price as well as time necessary to produce a video clip is now well attainable for virtually every business.</p>
<p>Exactly what does a YouTube visitor like to watch? Subjects that function best on YouTube often associated with 1 of 3 categories:</p>
<p>News. Both visitors as well as the search engines lean in <span id="more-3810"></span>the direction of what&rsquo;s fresh. Should you have real news, a product or service announcement such as <a href="http://www.courthouseclinics.com">laser hair removal</a>, a future event, fresh offers, and so on contemplate announcing it on Youtube.com. You will get double usage by also attaching the video clip to a press release in addition to putting it on PRWeb. It would not necessarily need to be a glamourous or even expensive video clip- simply interesting as well as informative. Just as with any media announcement, be sure to tell a story and you will produce much more interest.</p>
<p>Tutorials. Considering that the true advantage of video clips over alternative forms of communication is its capability to show and tell, it seems sensible that &#8220;how to&#8221; video tutorials can perform well on YouTube. Once again, the obvious does apply - tell a tale, ensure it is interesting, ensure it is engaging - additionally, the presentation quality needs to be professional. A popular favorite is the &#8220;Will It Blend?&#8221; series of video clips from Blendtec. They blend a how-to message together with shock value and humor while they demonstrate a variety of objects as well as ingredients that can be blended inside their blender. </p>
<p>Entertainment. Folks are always attracted to humor in addition to human-interest stories, as well as engaging video clips. These can have fantastic viral worth. However, the real problem when you make an effort to produce an interesting video clip would be to link it successfully to your advertising message. Never simply spend the bussiness&rsquo;s marketing and advertising funds for making people have a good laugh; make sure they are remember you in addition to visiting your site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Last night I found myself in a massive panic when I left my bedroom for the bathroom. No sooner had I opened the door when my eyes caught sight of a tremendous shadowy claw moving along the wall. I didn&rsquo;t freeze, because this fear was worse than a fear that has that effect: I did a small, very un-manly jump, and I bolted like a terrified horse into the safety of the kitchen.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&#8220;It&rsquo;s a spider, what&rsquo;s wrong with you?&#8221; <span id="more-3676"></span>I heard, from around the corner, in the domain of the clawed black evil monster thing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">&#8220;What you said. The fact that there&rsquo;s a spider there. What do you think?&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I then spent the next half an hour explaining and defending myself while my flat-mates laughed at my weakling status.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And it bothered me. Made me feel really pathetic. Why was I scared of spiders still? After all these years?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But then I thought <i>The thing is, why not? Why are we scared of anything? </i>And that got the philosophical side of my mind working over time. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Because, let&rsquo;s face it, a crocodile on TV, jumping out of the water, is never going to actually harm you, even in 3D, is it? Yet we&rsquo;re still scared just thinking about it. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And so it was I came to the conclusion &#8211; while my flat-mate went on about <a href="http://www.go-electrical.co.uk/polti-vaporetto-comfort-steam-cleaner.html">Polti Vaporetto Comfort</a> , whatever that was and is &#8211; that I have a right to be scared, and I should stand tall.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Don&rsquo;t be put down, is what I am saying, and don&rsquo;t be ashamed. We&rsquo;re all scared of something, so why does size and logic have to come into it? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">People who love horror movies are a strange phenomenon: you often hear people saying they know someone who really loves horror, a friend of a friend, but rarely do you come across a hardcore horror film addict who is willing to stand his or her ground at a party and admit to liking a film which everyone else there thinks is nothing but sick. <span id="more-3582"></span>There might be two reasons or more for this: 1) all the horror film geeks are sealed into their lairs watching the Saw franchise on loop, or people are just a bit timid about admitting they are part of the viewing figures which make up these enormous statistics. Horror, by all accounts, is growing. In the last few years the genre has enjoyed a complete paradigm shift: no longer is horror something to shy away from&#8230;directors are embracing new digital technology to make horror films even more gory, realistic and close-to-the-bone than before.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Who knows if this will remain the case in three or four years, but right now it would seem that nothing could slow the machine down. With more people than ever heading to the cinemas to check out the latest gory pic – or re-visit an old one from the 80s where limbs are pushed into <a href="http://www.go-electrical.co.uk/small-appliances/blenders.html">Blenders</a> and werewolves rip the entrails from bank managers – it would appear that there are more horror fans out there than we first thought; either that, or there are an awful lot of people who are very curious about seeing it on the big screen. A sign of change, surely?</p>
