Who Gives a .... Anyway

I recently purchase an album on my iPhone, and then when I wanted to mke sure it was in my iTunes library it was not there, but in the Store I found it and it said purchased. If I clieck on Check for Available Downloads, it said nothing. After some search i found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5551143 Which had this fact: " Music can't be redownloaded in all countries, so depending upon where you are you might not be able to redownload music. If music does show as a category, but not that album, then is it hidden :   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 " I then connected my iPhone and saw that to copy a purhcase your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

There are many posts telling people what to do to restore from the iPod, but just though I would post what worked for me. here is on of the beter posts: http://ipod.about.com/od/ipodcopybackuptransfer/tp/Top-Programs-Transfer-Ipod-To-Computer.htm The one I used was CopyTrans. You do need to enable direct access in iTunes to the hard drive on the iPod. It restores the data to your ITunes library.

I found this here: http://iphoneza.co.za/showthread.php?1129-Voicemail-on-MTN  Essentially to set the timeout before it goes to voicemail Dial: *61*XXX1483XXXXXXX*11*20#   e.g. if your number is 083-1111111 then dial *61*08314831111111*11*30# Very usefull 30 seems to be the max.

I have a question for Joe Soap out there, do you need price to dictate quality? How do we determine if something is quality? Well it should.be by assessing the product and comparing it to other products and developing a subjective perspective on the products, then determinng which product is a beter quality.  Well that sounds logical but does it work like that. I saw a test on mind games where they took the same wine and presented it differently, using price and packaging as a guide. And guess what the more expensive the consumer was told the wine was the beter they thought it was even though it was the same product.  This is a quite sad. Is. Is it based in the fact that we are unable to determine quality as a measure without a pricing and packing as a guide? Do we need others to tell use what is good and what is not? We all say we have our own choices but do we? Recently this came to light when I discovered that people were sure that a product that cost more was beter when in...

Luckily I was on holiday when my wife bought me the book by Mark Boucher: Bouch through my eyes. I was half way through another book, so finished that and started with the book. I love cricket. I have tried to wean myself off the sport, like I have others, but when it comes to cricket and especially test cricket I cannot continually check the score, or try watch on TV. I love playing sport more than watching, but with cricket I am definitely better at watching then playing. I did play club cricket for about a decade, but only after I turned 30. And action cricket does not really count. There is something special about the game. I was once told that cricket and fish are similar, a whole lot of people in the same vicinity involved in a similar quest. That is not it, there is something special about spending a day and half with people then laughing about a plucked catch or the bowler that took a fiver with all wickets caught in cow corner. It is hard to explain. About the book, Read...

preceptions as I know them today 10 Dec   There is a lot to take in every moment, but it is strange that only one of them relies on ligusitic skills. Using ken Wilber 's terminology: Eye of Flesh Eye of Mind Eye of Contemplation The Eye of Flesh Is how we perceive through our sensors. Typically we are learnt we have five, but it now a much longer list.This is one: humans-have-a-lot-more-than-five-senses , I first heard a list on the QI program. This is the main way we perceive the world, before we could talk the eye of flesh was working and it works until we die. We can put its working in to words, but lingistically we cannot fully describe it and we cannot know that others perceive it the same. There are common words like hot and cold but theses are merely pinters or signposts. The eye of flesh is our most basic and most accepted form of perception. The Eye of Mind The eye of mind is thought, how we organize it how we think etc. This is normally done in our hom...

From the Ken Wilber material the quadarnts seem to be an intrinsic part of his integral theory. Over almost 2 dacades these quandrants had matured. I googled them and though I woul place them here so that I can reference them (an hopefull others can too) From The Marriage of Sense and Soul: Integrating Science and Religion , We have this diagram: Then from Integral Life Practice this is a great one: And I found this oen that combines these: To understand these models you need to read or listen to the books, but essentiallty everything we as mankind has achieved so far, fits into these quadrants. Understanding that each area of developement and theory has some merit is the essential lesson that these are based on. In a previous post I posted states and stages these can be applied to these quadrants.
