Today 30th Of September 2009, around 18.18pm i was watching television program after a whole day work. I stay at condominium where very near to the Malacca strait, while i was watching t.v. i feel myself shaking and spinning but impossible than i notice my lamps which hanging on the wall was shaking very quick though in my mind is earthquake which come from Indonesia.
So i run out from the house and see so many people running out toward outside guard house to find the what is happening. Just few minute we got a news where there is a earthquake magnitude 7.9 strikes at Indonesia West Sumatra 23 minutes ago. The quake was recorded about 33 miles from Padang, the capital city of West Sumatra, which is home to more than 800,000 people.
Several buildings were damaged, Metro TV reported. People were seen running out of their homes and toward the hills.
Well, disaster again happen and at the same time i also know that at Samoa happen tsunami and the The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a tsunami watch for Indonesia, India, Thailand and Malaysia.
For Samoa there is no early warning for Samoa tsunami and Some Samoan residents said they had little or no warning of Tuesday's deadly tsunami, despite the development of an early alert system in the wake of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean disaster.
More than 50 people were killed after a massive 8.0-magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami over the remote Pacific islands of Samoa and American Samoa, wiping out entire villages and sweeping cars into the sea.
Paintball is a sport, in which players compete, in teams or individually, to eliminate opponents by hitting them with pellets containing paint (referred to as a paintball) from a special gun called a paintball marker. Depending on the venue, games are played on either indoor or outdoor fields of varying size. A game field is scattered with natural or artificial terrain, which players use for strategic play.
Rules for playing paintball vary, but can include capture the flag, elimination, defending or attacking a particular point or area, or capturing objects of interest hidden in the playing area. Games can last from seconds to hours.
I never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to cover a fire in a pan! This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire...Oil in a frying pan. Read the following introduction, and then watch the show... It's a real eye-opener!!
At the FireFightingTraining school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz. cup at the end of a 10 foot pole, toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students.
The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes heated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.
Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
This is a powerful message----watch the video and don't forget what you see. Tell your whole family about this video or better yet, send this to them.
1.Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he didn't know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money from the ATM machine. I answered 'NO! If you need help, ask the security to help you.' Then he said 'never mind...' and continued to find other people to help him...
REMEMBER: ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.
2.Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that your neighbours still have their lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured.
REMEMBER: Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open your door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.
3.This is another incident. You may have heard about it before; it is about a lady who saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER: Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Girls, please be careful. DON'T BE TOO KIND!
4.One day, there was an old lady outside my house holding two packets of sweets. At first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I realise that she was foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed she must be asking for money. I sensed there was something wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone else down the road.
5.I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind me, there was an old lady. She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with the machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The small girl was tugging and squeezing in front of me. I thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl placed her hand inside the tray of the ATM machine where the money was being dispensed out; ready to take away my money. I sensed something wrong and immediately pushed her away. Later I realised that the small girl and the old lady worked hand in hand together. She was trying to steal my money while the old lady was trying to distract my attention by asking me questions!
REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you!
6.My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more fuel and the petrol station was too far away, for him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will pay RM2 for the bottle. So my mum gave one coke bottle to him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note. He told my mum he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was smart. She just told him to take it for free.
REMEMBER: obviously that note is fake! Who would want to pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle! It's very OBVIOUS that that stranger was a trickster.
7.This happened in Bali . A newly married couple was having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both were in the changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around finding her. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. Three weeks passed and there was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and was very disappointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to watch a 'FREAK SHOW' in an old house.
He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face was full of scars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to find out that she was his missing wife caged there and used for begging.
8.This happened in Shanghai . A few years ago, a lady reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after five years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side on one of the streets in Bangkok , Thailand . The worst thing was that her cousin sister had no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp post with a shackle (metal chain).
Let's just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert to this form of trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a crying baby to attract your attention. This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house.
9.I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is known as the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people there. It's also near to the Shenzhen train station and Hong Kong 's Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shopping centre while A and B waited outside. After waiting for a long, time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C's phone. There was no reply. So they reported to the police.
The police asked them whether they had seen anybody suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there was none and it's impossible to bring a person out of the toilet without them noticing! Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out of the toilet. The police told them that were not the first time such a thing happened there. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the the toilets of shopping complexes. They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.
REMEMBER: please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE! Please at least have a partner with you.
Pneumonia is an infection in your lungs. It can be very serious, especially
if you'reolder or in poor health. So, for some groups of people, doctors recommend vaccines that help prevent it.
What vaccines work?
Two vaccines may help protect you against pneumonia. One is called the pneumococcal vaccine. The other is the flu vaccine. It may sound strange to have a flu vaccine to prevent pneumonia. But having flu weakens your body. This makes you more likely to get other illnesses, including pneumonia.
Pneumococcal vaccine
There's research to show that the pneumococcal vaccine helps to protect against invasive pneumonia. That's a serious complication where the infection spreads out of your lungs and around your body.
The pneumococcal vaccine is designed to protect against the most common type of pneumonia. The bacteria in the vaccine are dead and can't harm you. The pneumococcal vaccine can't give you pneumonia or any other illness. Your arm may be sore where you have the injection. As a side effect, a few people get a temperature and joint or muscle pains.
Most people need the pneumococcal vaccine only once. You don't need a new one every year. But some people with a weak immune system or problems with their spleen need another vaccination after five years. Ask your doctor if you think this might apply to you.
The flu vaccine
If you get flu, you have a bigger chance of getting pneumonia. So, if you have the flu vaccine, it may also lower your risk of getting pneumonia. There's research to show that older people who live in nursing homes are less likely to get pneumonia if they have a flu jab.
You need to get a new injection every year, usually in October or November.
The flu vaccine can't give you flu. Your arm may be sore where you have the injection.
As a side effect, a few people get a temperature and joint or muscle pains.
You shouldn't have the flu vaccine if you're allergic to eggs. That's because it's made using eggs. Talk to your GP if you aren't sure whether the vaccine is safe for you.
Do I need a flu vaccine or pneumococcal vaccine?
The pneumococcal vaccine is recommended if:
• You are 65 or older
• You have a long-term illness, such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease,
Liver disease, sickle cell disease or a problem with your spleen
• You have a lung condition, such as emphysema or severe asthma
• You have a weak immune system (for example, if you're getting chemotherapy
Orsteroid treatment, or you have HIV or AIDS).
There is a different type of pneumococcal vaccine that's made for children.
It's recommended for all children under 2 years old. It's given in two or three doses that are a month or two apart. The first dose is normally given at 2 months.
The vaccine is also recommended for children under 5 who may be at risk of illnesses caused by pneumococcal bacteria. Blood poisoning or meningitis can happen because of these bacteria, as well as pneumonia.
A flu vaccine is recommended each year if:
• You are 65 or older
• You live in a nursing home
• You have a long-term illness, such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, liver
disease, sickle cell disease or a problem with your spleen
• You have a lung condition, such as emphysema or severe asthma
• You have a weak immune system (for example, if you're getting chemotherapy or
steroid treatment, or you have HIV or AIDS)
• You live with or care for someone who could get very ill if they had flu (for example,
Here are few information that i would like to share. For who like to try this new techniques instead of traditional liposuction.
This article was from a magazine and was done by this doctor name : DR. C. Alan Bittner he is a liposculpture Surgeon from Beverly Hills Liposculture. Website:www.dralanbittner.com
Q:What exactly is liposculpture?
Liposculpture is a minimally invasive procedure that literally removes and sculpts fat deposits while you are awake. Unlike traditional liposuction, new liposculpture techniques do not use general anesthesia or IV sedation. The procedure takes less than 2 hours and there is usually minimal bruising and no unsightly scars.
Q:What areas of the body can be treated?
The most common areas that men and women get liposculpture are on the stomach and love handles; however liposculpture can remove excess fat from almost any area of the body-arms, thighs,chest and chin.
Q:How much fat can liposculpture remove?
Liposculpture can remove over a gallon of fat (10 pounds!) in a single 2 hour procedure. Liposculpture can remove between 50 to 80% of the fat that you can pinch, which will leave you with a much leaner stomach, skinnier waist, or smaller thighs. Although your body will continue to age, result are permanent.
Q:Am I a good candidate for liposculpture?
Liposculpture works for men and women of all ages and sizes. I treat skinny models with just a few extra ounces as well as people with few gallons of fat on their abdomen. I've had liposculpture on my abdomen and love handles and every person in my office had nad the procedure. Visit my website and watch our video to if liposculpture is right for you.
Q:How much does liposculpture cost?
I post my complete fees on my website and my fees are all inclusive-there are no additional hidden fees or taxes. My prices are the same for every patient, regardless of size. The full abdomen is $3800. The abdomen and love handles is $4800. Inner or outer thighs are an additional $1800 and the chin is an additional $1400. You can see the full prices for every area of the body on the website or call my office and learn how much a procedure will cost.
