America - The Syphyllis of Humanity

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 06:54:35 +0100

A recent article published in the Washing Post has exposed, once again, that scientists, during the 1940's were experimenting on prisoners, soldiers and specifically mental patients and children, in Guatemala. They needed to test the effect of Penicillin on sexually transmitted diseases, so they injected the subjects, knowing that this was unethical. Read this excerpt :

"The research included infecting prisoners by bringing them prostitutes who were either already carrying Read More...

Samsung Galaxy II - Sales of 5 million in just 85 days

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:19:58 +0100

I was reading an interesting article on the Samsung Galaxy II where Samsung Electronics has announced that the Samsung Galaxy SII has passed the 5 million global sales milestone - and i can see why. My hubby upgraded his phone and took one of these and i have to say that i am a little envious.

It is stunningly thin (8.49mm) and very lightweight considering the size of the phone. The viewing performance is phenomenal, is dual core and runs on Android (worlds fastest growing Read More...

Another Holiday - What is Women's Day

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:11:00 +0100

Well i have to say i love SA. The holidays keep me going. Unfortunately i do not know what many of them are about and i can say the same for the majority of South Africans. Yet nobody will ask. Where does women's day come from?

"This day commemorates 9 August 1956 when women participated in a national march to petition against pass laws (legislation that required African persons to carry a document on them to ‘prove’ that they were allowed to enteRead More...

HELP!!!!! All Gaming Fanatics

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:08:11 +0100

My son is in the process of building his new computer, specifically for gaming purposes. All he has is his case, but says he knows what is required for "good, fast, efficient" gaming. Whilst he may have an idea, he has never built a PC and i need to know what processor, graphics card, etc are needed to make for good gaming. Please - any help will be appreciated.

thanks in advance

Wayne Parnell embraces Islam

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 13:33:22 +0100

So great to see youngsters, taking the time to carve a path and choose a religion that they feel comfortable with. Of course i have a bias towards Islam, but when youngsters choose to follow a religious path, it is always beneficial to their moral and spiritual well-being.

Wayne has become Muslim and goes by the name Whallid - there was a time we thought non-whites would never be part of the team, let alone Muslims. Read the news article for more

Religious Hypocricy

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 12:06:40 +0100

I watched a move this morning called "No Greater Love". I am a huge romantic at heart and have to say i love anything that breathes a hint of romantacism. After watching the movie i realised that it was a Christian missionary type movie which was not a problem at all - i dont really mind who produces a movie, providing it is watchable, has a great romantic story and has a message. What i have a huge problem with is when the message conflicts with the movie itself.

8TA HUAWEI E173 HSPA USB Stick

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 13:29:09 +0100

Due to my telkom lines having been down for almost 3 weeks now i have been forced to use my cell as well as my Victory USB Stick to connect to the internet. The Victory stick is really frustrating - connectivity is inconsistent and it does not allow you a facility to see how much time you have left.

I went out and bought the 8Ta USB stick and have to say connectivity is immediate, the ability to see how much you have left is there and i was running out yesterday and went onRead More...

LAN Gaming Week-ends

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 12:37:45 +0100

My sons have invited their friends around, as they do every week-end, they hook up their gaming PC's via LAN and game - non stop - Friday night to Sunday afternoon. The games that they play are violent, noisy and hectically exciting. Well to the players anyway.

Considering that they animate the background "talk", spurring each other on, mocking bad play and bragging about manouvres that have just outwitted their opponents and laughing aloud when winning ......heRead More...

Ramadan - The Fast is Approaching

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:16:23 +0100

Ramadan is once again approaching. A month of fasting, giving charity and growing spiritually can only be looked upon as something good and for those doing it, immensely rewarding.

Watch this space for an update and may those preparing for the fast, approach it with wisdom, understand the reasoning behind it (not only because it has been prescribed) and grow more expectant of this special month.

Allah Made me Funny - Muslim Humour

Sun, 03 Jul 2011 14:21:56 +0100

I was watching 3 overseas muslim comedians today on TV and i have to say it is a breath of fresh air listening to them. I love comedy but refrain from watching normal comedy shows by well known comedians as the kids watch with me and it becomes frustrating and embarassing based on the material they share. So we just dont watch.

These guys had some fantastic skits on what the perceptions are of muslims today by the west, humourous antics and best of all - no rudeRead More...

Blackberry battery

Sun, 03 Jul 2011 14:06:11 +0100

I have had my Blackberry for about 6 months now and lately the battery has run down to almost nothing after charging it the night before. On spending hours on the net i realised that it is a common problem, unless i am missing something. I do understand that there are a few applications continually running in the background, but other than that it is advised to charge daily. Wish i had known that before getting mine - or at least been advised of the pros and cons - as i am oRead More...

LAN Week-ends

Sat, 04 Jun 2011 21:03:32 +0100

Well i have an 18 year old and every week-end we open our house to a few of his friends - and so the week-end begins..

They drive in, park their yuppy cars in our huge garden, start offloading equipment like CPU's that could house our dogs, cats and the gardener, monitors that are larger than my lounge sliding doors and enough cabling , that if laid, could provide half of Johannesburg with electricity. And the equipment keeps on coming. While the off-loading is takingRead More...

Cancer - still a deadly killer

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 16:28:25 +0100

After having lost my dad some 17 years ago to cancer, and my mom in January to brain cancer, i got news that my godmother now has brain cancer too and has about 3 months to live. All i could do this morning was to sit and cry and ask whether we actually have any control of this deadly killer.

I am sure there are many who have overcome it, but if you look at the stats and, it is evident, that cancer still kills, and puts its victims through so much pain that it drains the life froRead More...

Kindle is King - Master of EBook Readers

Wed, 01 Jun 2011 07:27:37 +0100

I bought my husband a kindle about 8 months ago. Not knowing too much about it, i contacted my sister who had already bought herself one as well as a friend of hers. She also put me onto about 5 other friends that had also purchased a Kindle. Well the feedback was "wow". Of course, not being a avid reader, I needed to make sure that what i was buying would work for him. Since purchasing this, I have become a Kindle widow. Sad but true. He loves it andRead More...

I'M BACK!!!!

Tue, 31 May 2011 13:34:43 +0100

Well bloggers, after a long break, I am finally back. some will remember me (i never keep quiet or hold back on commenting or making statements), while some of the newer bloggers wont. And there are quite a few newer guys.

Well i spent time introspecting after having lost my mom and step son. Two huge blows in my life and very soon after each other, my mom from brain cancer (5 months and then she was gone) and my step son was a hit and run accident (died about 2Read More...

Ground Zero Mosque Myth

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:21:57 +0100

I read this amazingly written, witty piece by Charlie Brooker of Guardian UK. Just shows what people know, how they think and how ignorant one can be when listening to what the media wants you to believe.

Strike - Good or Bad

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:20:02 +0100

We are now moving into our third week of striking individuals and one has to ask - do you blame them.

I look at the wages they earn and then realise why they are asking for a little more. I look at the way they behave and then wonder whether they deserve it. You look at the politicians who are lining their pockets and living lavishly and wonder why we dont put a stop to it, and then i look at the strikers again and wonder if they can enforce that change.

maybe we neeRead More...

International Al Quds Day??

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:15:37 +0100

International Al Quds Day is an annual event, held on the last Friday of Ramadan, expressing solidarity with Palestine and the Palestinian people. It opposes Zionism as well as Israels control of Jerusalem.

It was introduced by Ayatollah Khomeini, who was the highest ranking Iranian political anRead More...

It's 9/11 month on TV

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:16:56 +0100

Now let me make myself very clear. 9/11 was a horrendous act upon innocent people and may the family and friends of those who died find strength to deal with it.

Now having said that, why should the world be reminded of this one act (and on DSTV we will have a month of 9/11 re-enactments) and yet nothing is mentioned of the almost 2 million people that have been killed by war in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Nobody remembers them. Not even a mention on TV. I Read More...
