admin got a reaction from Geoffrey Santos in This Hi-Tech earpiece will translate your conversations in real-time
Can You Hear Me in French?
Working much like the Babel Fish from ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,’ the Pilot can translate live speech. So, if you have it in your ear and you’re talking to someone who speaks French – you will hear what they say in English and they will hear you in French.
Both participants in the conversation will need to be wearing a Pilot but the manufacturers will be selling them in pairs so you don’t need to seek out owners of the device in the street.

1 I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
2 There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
3 Life is sexually transmitted.
4 Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
5 The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
6 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
7 Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
8 Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
9 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
10 In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it Normal .
11 How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
12 Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things and drink whatever Comes out'?
13 If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?
14 Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?
15 If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
16 If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
17 Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

20 Do you ever wonder why you gave me your email address?

admin got a reaction from Carmen Erwin in Job Interview
A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job.
The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks "What do two plus two equal?"
The mathematician replies "Four."
The interviewer asks "Four, exactly?"
The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says
"Yes, four, exactly."
Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question
"What do two plus two equal?"
The accountant says "On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four."
Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question
"What do two plus two equal?"
The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next
to the interviewer and says "What do you want it to equal?"

admin reacted to Jesus.defender in As Pennsylvania Confronts Clergy Sex Abuse, Victims and Lawmakers Act
In 2001, while he was a cardinal, the pope issued a secret Vatican edict to Catholic bishops all over the world, instructing them to put the Church's interests ahead of child safety. The document recommended that rather than reporting sexual abuse to the relevant legal authorities, bishops should encourage the victim, witnesses and perpetrator not to talk about it. And, to keep victims quiet, it threatened that if they repeat the allegations they would be excommunicated.
The main problem here is that the roman catholic "church" is one of the only organizations that has offered peverts of every stripe and pedophiles in particular a career, protection and access to children. Over time this has led to more and more perverts being attracted to the Church.
"The real problem the Catholic Church faces," explains Father Donald B. Cozzens, author of "The Changing Face of the Priesthood," is the "disproportionate number of gay men that populate our seminaries." "I think we have to ask the question: Why are 90 to 95 – and some estimates say as high as 98 – percent of the victims of clergy acting out against teen-agers, boys? Why isn't there ... a higher percentage of teen-age girls?" Cozzens declared on NBC's Meet the Press recently.
January 31, 2000 | CNN KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- Roman Catholic priests in the United States are dying from AIDS-related illnesses at a rate four times higher than the general population and the cause is often concealed on their death certificates, The Kansas City Star reported in a series of stories that started Sunday.
WE ARE NOT TALKING NUMBERS, BUT ORDERS FROM THE CATHOLIC ORGANISATION TO COVER UP AND HIDE THEM!

admin got a reaction from Jack Ryan in Warren Buffett’s 7 best pieces of investing advice
When Warren Buffett offers investing advice, everyone listens. The world’s greatest investor has never been shy about the strategies that have helped him amass a $72 billion net worth and grow his company, Berkshire Hathaway, into a juggernaut valued at over $212 billion.
But one thing he doesn’t do is encourage the average individual investor to try to mimic his success. The best advice he can give those investors, Buffett has said, is to do exactly the opposite. We’ve parsed through some of Buffett’s more popular insights on investing to come up with a few that apply to the average worker looking simply to invest for long-term, steady growth.
1. The worst investment you can make over time: cash.
We always keep enough cash around so I feel very comfortable and don't worry about sleeping at night. But it's not because I like cash as an investment. Cash is a bad investment over time. But you always want to have enough so that nobody else can determine your future essentially.
2. Invest in a broad-based index fund that tracks the S&P 500.
If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration. For everyone else, if it’s not your game, participate in total diversification. The economy will do fine over time. Make sure you don’t buy at the wrong price or the wrong time. That’s what most people should do, buy a cheap index fund, and slowly dollar cost average into it. If you try to be just a little bit smart, spending an hour a week investing, you’re liable to be really dumb.
Recommended reading: “Common Sense on Mutual Funds: New Imperatives for the Intelligent Investor” by Vanguard founder Jack Bogle. Any investor in funds should read [Bogle’s books]. They have all you need to know.
3. Invest in yourself.
“The best investment you can make is in your own abilities. Anything you can do to develop your own abilities or business is likely to be more productive.”
4. If you’re determined to pick stocks, don’t buy into a business you don’t understand.
[Individual investors] ought to think about what he or she understands. Let's just say they were going to put their whole family's net worth in a single business. Would that be a business they would consider? Or would they say, "Gee, I don't know enough about that business to go into it?" If so, they should go on to something else.... There are all kinds of businesses that [longtime partner and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Charlie Munger] and I don't understand, but that doesn't cause us to stay up at night. It just means we go on to the next one, and that's what the individual investor should do.
5. Focus on the competition as well.
[Buying stock in a company is] buying a piece of a business. If they were going to buy into a local service station or convenience store, what would they think about? They would think about the competition, the competitive position both of the industry and the specific location, the person they have running it and all that.
6. Invest for the long haul.
“If you aren’t willing to own a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes”
7. The hardest part about investing: trusting yourself.
You need to divorce your mind from the crowd. The herd mentality causes all these IQ's to become paralyzed. I don't think investors are now acting more intelligently, despite the intelligence. Smart doesn't always equal rational. To be a successful investor you must divorce yourself from the fears and greed of the people around you, although it is almost impossible.

This song has a great melody with a catchy phrase.
Nos quedamos solos
como cada noche
hoy te siento tristre
y sé muy bien porque.
Tu querrás decirme
"He cambiado mucho,
el amor se acaba
y quiero terminar".
Yo que ni un momento puedo estar lejos de ti,
¿cómo soportar la vida entera ya sin ti?
te quiero, te quiero
te juro que yo no puedo vivir sin tu amor.
Ven aqui abrazame
yo te amo tanto
y te pido porfavor
que creas más en mi.
Yo que ni un momento puedo estar lejos de ti
¿cómo soportar la vida entera ya sin ti?
te quiero, te quiero
Yo que ni un momento puedo estar lejos de ti
¿cómo soportar la vida entera ya sin ti?
te quiero, te quiero, te quiero, te quiero.

I love the comparison of the metaphors juxtaposed with the varied melody which goes from slow crescendo to a full out passionate climax back into a slow almost nostalgic melancholy.
Well done composer and singer!!
One of my favorite songs of all time.
"Amante Del Amor"
Mi prisión, mi libertad
mi obscuridad y mi lucero
mezcla de brisa y tempestad
así te quiero
mi pasión, mi corazón
lluvia de mayo, sol de invierno
que me estás dando, que tendrás
tal vez encanto, veneno
amante del amor
quisiera ser la enredadera
que sube por tu piel de seda
beberme tu pasión
amarte entera
amante del amor
mi placer, mi dolor
mi sensatez y mi locura
lo has sido todo para mí
amor violento, ternura
amante del amor
quisiera ser la enredadera
que sube por tu piel de seda
beberme tu pasión
amarte entera
amante del amor
a fuego lento yo te
quisiera amar
amante del amor
quiero quererte
dulcemente
y beso a beso hasta vencerte
muy poco a poco
profundamente
amante del amor

The above was a masterful spanish interpretation of this English song which originally was composed in Italiano.
"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (originally a 1965 Italian song by Pino Donaggio and lyricist Vito Pallavicini: '"Io che non vivo (senza te)") is a 1966 hit recorded by English singer Dusty Springfield that proved to be her most successful hit single, reaching No.1 UK[2] and No.4 US: the song subsequently charted in the UK via remakes by Elvis Presley (No.9/1971), Guys 'n' Dolls (No.5/1976) and Denise Welch (No.23/1995), with Presley's version also reaching No.11 US in 1970.[3][4] "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" was also a Top Ten hit in Ireland for Red Hurley (No.5/1978), in Italy for Wall Street Crash (No.6/1983), and - as "En koskaan" - in Finland for Kristina Hautala (No.6/1966).
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away
Don't you see
That now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home?
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe me
I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me

Ven, te quiero amar, sin hablar
Sin decir te quiero
Ven vamos a hablar, por que no
Sera como un juego.
Hablemos con los ojos, con los besos
Hablemos el lenguaje del silencio.
Sin hablar, nuestros labios buscaran
Sin hablar, nuestras manos hallaran
Sin hablar, nuestras sombras
Perdindose en la noche se amaram
Sin hablar, nuestras miradas lo diran
Sin hablar nuestras caricias se oiran
Sin hablar, como niños jugando a lo prohibido
Sin hablar.
Ven, te quiero amar, otra vez
Sin decir te quiero
Ven, una vez ms
Que en tu piel olvide un deseo
Hablemos con la mente, con el alma
Hablemos el lenguaje del silencio
Sin hablar...(se repite)
