Safety First - Always Wear A Bucket (Helmet) on Your Head

I don't know what this guy is doing, but he is wearing a bucket. My he is a safety conscious guy, but this is too much. Maybe he just joking around. He wants to play around. Look, he has a helmet (red colored). Boys, don't do this at home...

Hope this bring a smile to us. Bye. :)

Crazy Jump Video, No Safety Gears Attached

2009-05-15T19:04:00.000-07:00

This video shows people jumping off a two stories building, jumping through glass windows and off a building. What scares me is they did not use any safety equipment. The jumpers also seems to have some injuries after doing the stunts.

They all wear silat shirts, ie the black shirt and pants, bengkong and the head scarf. Shameful for the guru to just watch his students done the crazy stunts. If something bad happens, I think he will just run away.

This video seems to be captured in Indonesia by seeing the people in the video. The time maybe around the 70's or 80's based on the clothes wear by them.

Before you watch the video, I warn you, this is not suitable for all to view.

Don't do this. Bye.

Safe Headphones Usage, Listen to This

2009-04-30T19:28:00.000-07:00

Headphones seem to be getting smaller and smaller. But are the ones that sit inside your ears worse for you than traditional ones that sit over your ears?

They can be, if your music is too loud. Earphones pushed into the ear are going to deliver a greater sound pressure level compared with normal ones and this could increase the risk of damage.

If you hear ringing in your ears of things sound muffled after listening, you have overdone it. Usually the problem diminishes, but listening to loud music regularly, with any type of headset, could lead to permanent hearing loss.

Every set of earphones is different, so it is hard to give recommendations, but recent research suggests limiting use to an hour or less per day at no more than 60% volume for over-the-ear styles and even less for buds. Never sleep with them on and take plenty of breaks.

Yuna Backpacking Around Europe & Dan Sebenarnya in Acoustic

2009-04-17T08:50:00.000-07:00

This is Yuna. Yunalis is her full name. I love her voice, and she is kind of cute too. She sings country style songs, songs like sing by Sarah McLachlan, Sara Bareilles, James Morrison and Marie Digby.

In this clip, she sings her own written song 'Backpacking Around Europe' and 'Dan Sebenarnya'. A guitar and her voice, are the only instruments she uses in this clip, but it still very nice to hear. Not like all the 'star want to be' in reality tv shows. Hard to find talent like this from Malaysia.

Well, just enjoy the clip. Bye. :)

Test Your Investment IQ

2009-04-10T00:16:00.000-07:00

To invest or not? That is the problem when a promoter calls with an offer that sounds like a sure thing. Fraudulent investment promoters lure customers by claiming that the investment cannot be missed. But the promise of big profits usually turns out to be a costly fraud.

Can you tell whether an investment opportunity is solid or risky? Test your investment I.Q. with this quiz. Pick whether it is a solid investment or a risky one. This is from a government pamphlet.

A promoter tells you he’s selling shares in a partnership. You confirm that a large, legitimate firm is making huge profits in a similar business and its stock is doing well. Your promoter says only a few shares in his partnership remain - and they’ll be gone if you don’t send your money by wire transfer. Buying into the next available partnership opportunity will cost three times as much.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
A promoter sends you glossy materials by overnight courier. An enclosed note mentions that the business is headquartered in New York, and that offices are located in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC. A call to directory assistance in those cities confirms that the promoter has addresses in each one.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
A promoter tells you not to worry about any risk in the venture you are considering. The investment is bonded and insured for $50 million and you have received an insurance policy to prove it. You call the insurance company and a representative confirms that they do indeed have a bond for the venture you are considering.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
A promoter gives you names of several satisfied customers around the country. When you call, one claims to be an attorney, another a small businessman, and a third a retired professional. All say they have received returns from investing with the promoter and are making profits.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
In a phone call, a promoter says the investment he is offering is expected to return about 30 to 40 percent a year, beginning in about 12 months. Best of all, based on the track record, he says there is no significant risk.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
A promoter tells you on the phone that the investment he is offering is expected to return about 30 to 40 percent annually within about a year - and your entire investment in 18 months. You check the written materials he sent and find a disclosure: The investment is high-risk and you could lose all your money. You do not find any written claims about the returns.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
Because you are considering investing in a venture in the state of Heartland, you call the Better Business Bureau and Attorney General’s Office in the state capital. They tell you there are no complaints against the company. You do some research and find an article on your venture in a local Heartland business paper. The article states that your venture is a multi-million dollar investment firm and its principals have been in the investment business for a combined 30 years.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
A promoter tells you his company has structured an investment opportunity as a debt-free general partnership. The partnership will raise capital for a sure-fire high-tech telecommunications business in rural areas. Large corporations are just getting into the business, but because of legal restrictions and profit margins, they are getting into large national markets only.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
A promoter says your investment has been approved as safe for IRA funds. He sends you printed forms for a company known as IRA-USA. When you call IRA-USA, a representative tells you that the company manages $100 million in IRA funds. You call IRA-USA’s bank. IRA-USA’s bank tells you IRA-USA has over $100 million in its accounts.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY
You are considering buying a $10,000 share in a $10 million venture that you learned about through a telemarketer. You see the following chart on the promotional materials you got in the mail:

ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS:

Asset Acquisition: 50% $5,000,000
Marketing Costs: 15% $1,500,000
Offering Costs: 10% $1,000,000
Working Capital: 15% $1,500,000
Consulting Fees: 10% $1,000,000

The promoter tells you that sales commissions do not exceed 10 percent and that the remainder of the money raised will finance your venture.
_____ SOLID
_____ RISKY

Answers for Test Your Investment IQ

2009-01-10T00:44:00.000-08:00

These are the answers for the 'Test Your Investment IQ' test and their reasons. Hope you get all the answers right .

RISKY. Even before they have sold the first share of stock, scam artists tell investors that only a few shares are left. But high-pressure sales tactics always mean high-risk investments, and investing thousands of dollars overnight is high risk. Do not let any promoters fool you by equating their ventures with those of large corporations. The only track record that matters has to do with the specific venture you are considering.
RISKY. Anyone can rent luxury office space - even fraudulent promoters. But it is more likely that they have a "mail drop" at a luxurious address - a rented box for receiving mail that is forwarded to another location. In fact, each of the “offices” may be a mail drop, an apartment, or even a boiler room (pheww). As for glossy promotional materials, they are essential tools of the trade. Scam artists know that these materials may be your main source of information; they are willing to spend money to lend credibility and sophistication.
RISKY. Before you rely on an insurance or bonding company, use independent resources to verify that: the insurance or bonding company exists; the policy exists; the insurance or bonding company has the assets to pay the investors; and the investors are the beneficiaries of the policy, not the promoters. Verifying a successful history of under-writing investments is the only way to make this information useful.
RISKY. The people you talked with may be "singers" paid by the company to give a good recommendation. Even if references are investors and exactly who they say they are, a promoter may be paying them special "dividends" - to induce them into giving positive references.
RISKY. High returns carry a high degree of risk. A salesman who does not disclose this is being dishonest. Even investing in the stock market is risky: The market can turn down.
RISKY. Get profit projections in writing. Ask for evidence of the promoter's profit projections and try to confirm them with independent sources. If written materials say you could lose all your money, believe it. Investing is risky. If the talk is rosy but the written materials paint an ominous picture of the risk, trying to recover any money you’ve invested could be difficult.
RISKY. Just because no complaints have been lodged against a company does not mean it is a bona fide operation. Even information in local business papers could come from the promoter’s press release. Find an independent source or an expert you trust for information on the company's track record. Otherwise, consider the company an unknown and high-risk investment.
RISKY. General partnerships often impose risks on the partners as individuals. Scam artists often structure investments as general partnerships as a way to avoid securities regulation. But some partnerships may be securities and subject to regulation despite a promoter's claim. In addition, a partnership may be debt-free because it has no business history or assets. The reason a large corporation enters only a "top" market may be that it is the only place entrepreneurs are likely to make a profit.
RISKY. No government agency reviews investments for self-directed IRAs. To see if you face tax consequences for using your IRA money on a venture, have an independent tax consultant check any potential investments. Don’t be impressed by IRA trustees with large holdings and accounts. The Securities and Exchange Commission sued one IRA promoter in 1996 who allegedly transferred more than $270 million from more than 14,500 consumers’ IRA accounts to fraudulent telemarketers and unregistered securities promoters. Do your homework!
RISKY. Once you invest, you should receive an accounting of your funds from independent sources as a matter of routine. Otherwise, you have no guarantees that your money is being used as you were told. Fraudulent promoters often hide costs in their charts. "Marketing costs" may mean the telemarketing costs of selling investments to people like you. The principals behind the venture may call themselves "consultants" and take a share of your investment as their salary. These deceptions and the promoter's commission alone could cost you a significant portion of your investment. Even your partnership's "asset" may not really cost $5 million. That may be the price the scam artist is charging your partnership to "acquire" an asset that's really worthless.

So what is your score? Don't fall to any fraud or scam anymore.

However before buying furniture for them, we as adult should think smarter than a kid. In fact there is much furniture that can stimulate the imagination and kids favor, for example car shaped bed and so on.

However your kids grow up fast. Believe it within short period of time the furniture such as that is not suitable anymore for him or her.

Paint your kids' locker based on the colors they like and then decorate it by adding stickers or anything that they want.

It doubtlessly becomes an enjoyable project and at the same time helps to generate creativity. When their taste changed you can change the color or compose it with available accessories according to your kids' desire and new needs.

Use a lot of wall shelf to put personal items such as your kids' toys and books. By this they will have wider floor space to play and do other activities.

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get ten times of that". The woman said, "That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to".

The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me." So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you.

The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."

So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack!!"

What is Internet Dumping or Modem Jacking

2008-10-18T02:12:00.000-07:00

If your telephone bill was unusually high last month and noticed several unknown international numbers printed on your bill, while nobody in your house would call those numbers, this could mean that you have been modem-jacked.

How it happens?

Know What Number You Are Dialing To
Before connecting to the internet, reset your dialer to your local ISP of you suspect any past usage resulted in your dialer automatically defaulting to an international ISP connection.

Beware of Pop-up Windows
Some internet adult entertainment websites are designed to attach cookies to other websites you frequently use. Instead of clicking 'X' or 'close' button on the window, press the 'Alt' and 'F4' buttons simultaneously to close the pop-up window.

Hope this could help you to prevent yourself from modem jacking. Bye. :)
