Lost Generation – A winning palindrome
Posted by 7 on Jun 3, 2010 in Philosophy, thoughts
(Thanks to my father-in-law for forwarding this on to me)
A palindrome reads the same backward as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backward as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite..
This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward.
This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled “u @ 50″ by AARP. This video won second place.. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant.
Ping Chat 2! – The new iPhone App!
Posted by 7 on May 31, 2010 in Technology, iPhone, iPhone App
A couple of months I downloaded an application on to my iPhone which allows me to communicate with other iPhone users.
It was called Ping. Unfortunately, the only thing this application could do was to send messages back and forth with another user.
Now, I know there are other applications out there but, for now, I’ve vowed to only download and use FREE applications. I know it saves me money and I hope it saves others money as well.
I used to have a blackberry before the iPhone and there was an application on there called BlackBerry Messenger (comes as standard). This application did what the new application “Ping Chat 2″ can do now!
You can send pictures, videos, voice notes and contacts to others who have the application.
I’ve been using it for a couple of days now and I’d highly recommend it.
You can download it from here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pingchat-2/id371769677?mt=8
Oh… The best thing about this is… Wait for it… It’s soon coming out on Blackberry and Android phones!!!
(As always, this application was still free to download at the time of this post and any changes in price are down to the sellers and promoters of the application.)
Do you think we are alone on this Earth?

I just got sent this video of a test that some scientists did with the Hubble telescope. They pointed it for 10 days, and then 11 days, at seemingly empty space…
Have a look at the video to see what they found.
A story about the jars – which one are you?
Posted by 7 on May 25, 2010 in Philosophy
THE JARS
The preacher placed two identical jars on the table, ‘The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”
These jars came from the same factory, were made of the same materials, and can hold the same amount. But they are different, he explained.
Then he upset one and it oozed out honey. He turned over the other, and vinegar spilled out. “When a jar is upset, whatever is in it comes out.
Until the jars were upset, they looked alike. The difference was within, and could not be seen. When they were upset, their contents were revealed.
Until we are upset we put on a good front. But when we are upset, we reveal our innermost thoughts and attitudes, for “out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks”.
What if someone tipped you over today? What would flow out? Would you reveal the “honey” of grace and patience, or the “vinegar” of anger and sarcasm ???
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins”
Have a terrific day knowing that the one who upsets you may be just looking for some honey.

Full Face Transplant “A success”…
Posted by 7 on Apr 23, 2010 in New news, Science, health
Taken from BBC News today…
A team of 30 Spanish doctors say they have successfully performed the world’s first full face transplant.
A man injured in a shooting accident received the entire facial skin and muscles – including cheekbones, nose, lips and teeth – of a donor.
The man is recovering well after the 22-hour operation, said a spokesperson from Vall d’Hebron University Hospital.
Another 10 face transplants have been carried out around the world, but this is believed to be the most complex.
Hospital spokesperson Bianca Bont told the BBC: “This is the first total face transplant.
“There have been 10 operations of this kind in the world – this is the first to transplant all of the face and some bones of the face.”
Face transplants
Face from dead donor is removed in four hour operation
Veins, arteries, skin, muscles, and bones are taken
The patient is anaesthetised partway through surgery on the donor and any previous skin grafts are removed
The donor face and accompanying blood vessels are stitched to the patient using complex microvascular surgery
The man was operated on in March, but details of the operation have only just been revealed.
He had been left unable to breathe, swallow, or talk properly after an accident five years ago.
He was considered for a full face transplant after nine previous operations failed.
A team of 30 experts carried out the operation on 20 March at the hospital in Barcelona.
The man has since seen himself in the mirror and was calm and satisfied, the leader of the medical team, Joan Pere Barret, told a news conference.
‘Achievement’
The first partial face transplant was carried out by doctors in Amiens, France, in 2005.
Isabelle Dinoire, a 38-year-old woman who had been mauled by her dog, received a new nose, chin and lips.
Since then partial face transplants have been carried out in China and the US.
British experts say the Spanish operation may be the most complex yet.
It appears to include more bone and much more of the lower part of the face.
A spokesperson for the UK’s Facial Transplantation Research Team, which has ethical permission to carry out a full face transplant, said it was “a tremendous achievement”.
“This appears to be the most complex facial transplant operation carried out so far worldwide,” he said.
“It once again shows how facial transplantation can help a small number of people who are the most severely facially injured and for whom reconstructive surgery cannot and has not worked.”
