Bimethyls

My friend Adrian rings me on the telephone to inform me that he’s discovered some on-line gambling sites that I just have to look into. I have never really been serious into gambling, but I figured o.k., I have to give it a try. And So I tried out some poker and blackjack, only truthfully, they simply aren’t my cup of tea. Then I see these on-line elottery web sites and I figure that through the internet I can play lots of different lotteries around the Earth. Instantly to me this looks a heap more delight, hence I considered I may give it a go. In the beginning I tried my luck at euro millions, you know a European lottery. I chose my lotto numbers and awaited and dreamt that I may win the jackpot. I didn’t on that attempt but when the euro millions results came in; I was extremely surprised to see that I had actually come very near to the winning numbers. I tested out a couple of other lotteries, but I felt that I did come so near the first time on the euro lotto, that I just had to give it another shot. To date, I have not scooped a bucket load of dollars, but, I have scooped some money, so I carry on playing the euro millions and picking elottery numbers, hoping to get my big break. I am one of those individuals who like to believe in the likelihood of winning it big, because it is tough to imagine getting that sort of money some other way.

As for my friend, he still goes on with his love of internet gambling and finds himself at the on-line casino for at least an hour a day. He too has won some money, but it has high’s and low’s and the difference is, when you lose at gambling you normally lose a lot but then, when you lose at the lottery, it doesn’t cost you very much. I think that the lotto is the only way for me to go and the thought of hitting the jackpot and on top of that, it’s only costing me simply a couple of pounds “makes all the difference”.

Is Satellite Really Better Than Cable?

As the war in video entertainment continues, one thing is for sure: satellite television is here to stay.

When the satellite distributors first began marketing to consumers, the cable industry didn’t give their new opponent much thought. Dishes were expensive, they were bulky and their program offerings weren’t all that impressive. Cable on the other hand had been around for more than a decade and offered a familiar and reliable solution to home entertainment.

But oh how things have changed.

The satellite industry quickly replaced those bulky dishes with sleeker, smaller systems that could be mounted just about anywhere. Prices dropped, programming grew and pretty soon, switching from cable to satellite wasn’t such a far-fetched idea after all.

Today, the satellite industry enjoys a steady and continued growth in subscribers and services, gradually closing the gap in video entertainment market share. Where the cable industry has reported an annual growth between 10 to 15 percent, top satellite companies boast a market share increase of just under 30% according to a study from The Media Audit.

So is satellite really better than cable?

Satellite customers seem to think so. Studies show that satellite customers pay an average of $10 less per month than their cable counterparts. Satellite programming is also all-digital, meaning the reception and picture quality is much better than that of traditional analog cable. Cable subscribers do have the option of upgrading to digital but this incurs an additional monthly cost and doesn’t guarantee all the channels will be included in the upgrade. And, with the healthy dose of competition in the satellite industry, consumers can be assured of continued competitive pricing. Your cable provider doesn’t have any competition. Do you suppose that affects your rate increases?

Satellite subscribers also tout a higher satisfaction rating with customer service issues, one of the primary reasons cited for making the move from cable.

The two most precious things in the world are love and freedom.
Without freedom life would be meaningless, and without love the world would become careless and apathetic.

Yet, the nature of these two are apparently at loggerheads with each other. Love wants to control. Freedom releases. Love wants to protect. Freedom is about taking risks. Love is almost totalitarian. Freedom gives us independence.

Still we long for both love and freedom. The desire to be loved is as deep rooted in us as the desire to be free from all shackles.

It seems that the love that we receive during our childhood lasts as long as we are young. As adults we continue to desire the love we received earlier. This could be the cause of our wanting to engage in similar relations with the opposite sex. There is of course physical attraction as well.

Both men and women want to be loved, in differenet proportions, in their own ways. Or at least to be considered as desirable by others.

Given a choice between the two, it would be difficult to make a decision. Both have their roots in our nature. An independent minded adult might prefer to be free than to be in love’s bondage.

If only love and freedom can be combined in compatible proportions, we can live much happier lives.
