Peope are pleased to see Edison is back on his feet again. His fans would like him coming back with the company Clot Inc.  His new career, new songs, new store, and new movies have brought in new positive energy for himself making him strong and determined looking ahead.  Hope he will bring the positive effect upon younger people.  Fans would like to see Edison improved from his past mistake. I think his sex scandal hurt him as welll as his girl friends.  Life goes on and people learned from their mistakes and become more matured and stronger.

Hi,  Readers and Boomers

sign the petition.jpgI signed an important petition to Pepsi asking them NOT to approve on Jan 3rd 2011, a very blasphemous Super Bowl Commercial Submission called "Feed the Flock.",  This commercial is now on Facebook as "Feed your flock." 


The tone of this proposed commercial is grossly irreverent and mocks the holiest truths of my Catholic Faith: the Holy Eucharist.  Please offer prayers and sacrifices in reparation for this horrific blasphemy.

I hope you will sign the petition too, by just one click of the link below :

Petition to stop this blasphemous mockery of the Holy Eucharist.

Please remember your voice and your friends' will count.

God Bless,






 


I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go,

And help us to be wise, in times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way

Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace

To a place where we'll be safe...

La luce che tu dai

I pray we'll find your light

Nel cuore resterà

And hold it in our hearts

A ricordarci che

When stars go out each night

L'eterna stella sei

Nella mia preghiera

Let this be our prayer

Quanta fede c'è

When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza

Un mondo di giuztizia e di speranza

Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino

Simbolo de pace e di fraternità

La forza che ci dai

We ask that life be kind

E' il desierio che

And watch us from above

Ognuno trovi amor

We hope each soul will find

Intorno e dentro a sé

Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer

Let this be our prayer

Just like every child

Just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe

E la fede che

Hai acceso in noi

Sento che ci salver

My Prayer

My dear son 
God needed another angel 
Upon His call you left
Leaving memories on the earthly home
As you went to meet our heavenly Father 
You are now flying high above watching over us 
As always you are in our hearts
Peace and Love be with you
Forever







Christmas spirit is in the air.  The commercials online as well as offline remind people on earth the birth of Christ.  God's Son became flesh yet born in a manger among the poor.  Poor Christ was rejected by the people God made. Tortured and put to death.  The poor, miserable and suffering Christ is not forgotten like the other kings and emperors. Their name and glory were short.  Memories if any faded slowly and forgotten.   Christ poor at birth, rejected, pursecuted,  nailed and put to death on the CROSS is remembered among people of all nations.  This is a miracle just like HE cured the sick and raised the dead with his Words.  He is remembered for His resurrection from death and His love toward His People.  And His People remember HIM and adore HIM. 

Christmas spirit is about Jesus the Christ, the Holy Family and the Church.   It dwells not just at our home during our life.  It is in the heart of those who recognise and follow HIM.   

I got some very nice stuff  from a brother in Christ.  As good stuff are to be shared  I therefore pass it onto people who may come to my blog.  Meanwhile continue to read on.  Give me your thought.  Your opinions  are always welcome.   Put your comments here or if you like you can email me.

downtown toronto 009.JPGToday early in the morning, we took the 7:55 a.m. GO Train to Downton Toronto.  Julie has been working in the downtown area over 15 years.  I traveled to downtown couple of times. 

The Go train departed on time and arrived the Union Terminal at  .8:45 a.m.  We started our tour by walking Downton Toronto Underground
.   The underground is so massive I simply lost my sense of direction as we walked navigating among  a network buildings, their respective marketplaces and shopping complex.   I am very pleased that I have Julie with me.  She knows all these buildings and the underground paths. The network of marketplaces are underneath the following buildings

  • downtown toronto 010.JPGDundas Square
  • Toronto Eaton Centre
  • Richmond Adelaide  Center
  • Scotia  Plaza
  • Standard Life Center
  • Sun Life Center
  • The City Hall
  • Bay Wellington Center
  • TD Tower
  • Royal Bank Plaza
  • Exchange Tower
  • First Canadian Place
  • Bay Adelaide Center
  • Brookfield Place
  • Commerce Court




There are plenty of choices for breakfast.  For instance, McDonalds, Burger King, Jimmy the Greek, Marche, Richtree, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, Second Cup, Buritos, etc.  The list can go on and on. We had stew beef hot noodle as our morning breakfast at the Noodle King.  Julie knows the owner of the noodle restaurant which is known for its stew beef hot noodle.  By the way, the best deal downtown is Burger King's burger at only C$1.99 for a four ounce burger with shred lettuce and slice tomatoes.    This price is irrestible.  We went in and got one for both of us. Of course,  we were attracted to beautiful costumes and fashions and we dropped by some fashion shops  and electronic appliances shops, e.g. Best Buy, Apple, and Canadian Tire without any purchase.


downtown toronto 004.JPGWe returned home by GO Bus on 1:45 p.m. When we were back to Richmond Hill we took our car from the GO Train Terminal and took the car to the auto mechanic for routine checkup.   The car is okay and we returned home.

Guys come and take a virtual tour of the Downtown Toronto Underground Path.  It is amazing!  Stay tuned in for the next tour.



100.JPGThe spirit of Christmas reminds us that God sent his beloved son to save the world ,  As WORD (the son of God)  made flesh JESUS was born. JESUS came to his people yet his people rejected Him.  His people tortured him and put him to die on cross.  With his death and resurrection,  JESUS THE SON OF GOD redeemed his people.  His apostles and disciples  established His Church.  The church is the body of Christ.  Our faith and reconciliation with God through JESUS deepen our relationship with God the Father.      

Early yesterday morning at 7:10 a.m. Julie and I started off for today's excursion visiting churches at Kingston.Ontario.   We picked up Grace from her home before we hit the road to the house of Joseph and Pauline, the driver and co-ordinator respectively for the excursion.  When we arrived their home it was about 7:45a.m.

SANY0137.JPG 

The temperatiure was about -10 C with a windchill of -20 C.   We wrapped ourselves with downs and layers of warm clothes.  With drinks and some fruits the team started off picking up Karen at McCowen and Alten Tower.   Together we had a quick breakfast at a cafe store. Then we kicked off the excursion hitting the road at around 9:10 a.m.

SANY0136.JPG
The first church we visited is St Issac Jogues Catholic Church.  It is situated at 1148 Finch Avenue, Pickering.  Inside the church I took several photos.  The Blessed Jesus above was the one I love most.    Then we continued our journey to the next stop to St Joseph's Catholic Church.

 

SANY0140.JPG

SANY0143.JPGWe had our lunch at an Italian restaurant somewhere at downtown Kingston. We ordered only some grilled chicken panini, seafood pasta, sausage penne pasta with the daily soap carrot in mashed potatoes.  Grace and I were feeling uncomfortable after the morning breakfast.   Probably, something wrong with the milk we drank in the breakfast coffee.    Anyway,  we liked the lunch and the restaurant.   The food is so good.  It energized all members of the team including Grace and myself.We continued on our journey search for more churches,e.g. St.  James, St. Mary,  before we took Highway 401 East coming back to Toronto.   We had our dinner together at a Chinese restaurant then we hit the road again returning home .  


st mary cathedral.jpgFood for thought
  1.  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2     He was in the beginning with God;

3     all things were made through him, and without him was not anything     made that was made.

4     In him was life, and the life was the light of men
.
5     The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6     There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7     He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.

8     He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light.

9     The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.

10     He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.

11     He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.

12     But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;

13     who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

14     And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

15     (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'")

16     And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace.

17     For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18     No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.


Boomers Healthy Eating - Apples

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks


boomer health.jpg
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" has its reason.

I woke up in the middle of every night  and could not fall asleep again.   The next day, simply could not focus and have pain all over the body. I had this disturbing health  condition for a long while.

One day, a friend told me a simple way and that is to eat an apple every day.    It works.    I can fall asleep again without any problem.



Detoxification is popular in recent years.  That is to clean all harmful toxins which hinder the health of our body.

Apples  contain malic acid and tartaric acid. Apples can help the kidneys to rid the body of excess water and toxins; furthermore Apple is also rich in pectin, a soluble fiber,  It removed lead, mercury and other heavy metals and the bad cholesterol from the body.  Thus apples help us to achieve body purification.

Body detoxification has positive effect on our  natural skin maing the skin glow and shine whilst lessening skin black spots.

Apple is good for
people suffering from chronic gastritis.  I recommend you
an apple  for lunch and dinner.   It is best to eat apple before your meal.  Remember  to peel your apple or clean it very clean,  
A little warning here for my readers, Apple skin wax and pesticide residues, should be avoided.  Peel the apples before eating them.This simple way offers you a good and natural heal from gastritis.


It is said that malic acid can inhibit proliferation of cancer cells!

In our city life discipline and exercise are short,  People get prematured aging.   In order to prevent prematured aging, you should eat an apple a day at least.  It is a smart move and a wise choice.

Moreover, Apple has long been in ancient China "wisdom fruit," !


Apples are rich in vitamins B1, B2, C and carotene, niacin (also known as vitamin B5);

In addition it also contains carbohydrates, fat, protein, pectin, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, fiber, malic acid, tannin and so on.

The apple contains cornflower known its antiemetic effect.

A nutrition expert told me, Apple nickname "Memory fruit".  Why? Because apple is rich in zinc, zinc is closely related to memory formation and an indispensable element of nucleic acids and proteins.   Eat an apple is to improve the memory.

Aromatherapy is popular in recent years to alleviate the depression and repression.  Apple aroma has the greatest impact on human psychology, it has the effect of eliminating a sense of psychological depression,  When the patient inhaled a lot of apple aroma, he would became  peaceful and happy.
If you have insomnia or restless sleep at night,  sprinkle apple aroma, guarantees quick sleep




就是吃一個蘋果 

    有一陣子睡得不好,三更半夜就轉醒過來,久久不能再度入睡。翌日,精神變得恍惚,痛苦得很。

    一位外國朋友教我這個方法,就是吃一個蘋果。

    cid:1.3936376524@web73803.mail.tp2.yahoo.com

    於是遇上這種情況,就吃一個蘋果,果然很快又再入睡。

    近年流行排毒,以清潔體內一切妨礙健康的水分和毒素。

    在眾多水果材料中,蘋果亦佔上一席位,原來蘋果含有的蘋果酸和酒石酸,

有助消化身體內高油脂食物的功能,

可以驅動腎臟排除體內多餘水分和毒素;

此外蘋果還含有豐富的果膠,這是一種可溶性的纖維質,


可以跟鉛、汞等重金屬結合一起,並和壞膽固醇一起排出體外以達致淨化的效果。

所以「每日一蘋果,醫生遠離我」是有它的道理的。


體內百毒清除,皮膚自然透光澤,斑印漸退。

如果不幸患上慢性胃炎,蘋果是不容懷疑的良藥。

只要每日中飯及晚飯後吃一個去皮蘋果,好快胃炎就痊癒了。


據說,蘋果酸能夠抑制癌細胞的擴散呢!

都市人應酬,生活毫無秩序又缺乏運動,為了防止未老先衰,

每日至少一個蘋果,看來是明智的選擇。

何況蘋果在古代中國早有「智慧果」之稱呢!



蘋果含有豐富的維他命B1 、B2 、C 及胡蘿蔔素、煙酸(亦稱維他命B5 );

此外還含有糖類、脂肪、蛋白質、果膠、鈣、鉀、鐵、鋅、纖維素、蘋果酸、鞣酸等。

而蘋果皮含有的車菊素有止嘔功效。

可惜現在許多蘋果外皮有石蠟和農藥殘留,不宜吃食。

一位營養專家告訴我,蘋果外號「記憶果」。

為甚麼呢?因為蘋果富含鋅元素,鋅就是構成與記憶有密切關係的核酸和蛋白質不可或缺的元素。

一旦缺鋅,大腦皮層邊沿海馬區即發育不,影響記憶力。

是以多吃蘋果有提高智能的功效。

香薰治療是近年流行的紓解抑鬱和壓抑感的良方之一。

而眾多香薰中,經研究結果,


蘋果香薰對人的心理影響最大,它具有消除心理抑鬱感的作用,

許多病人一旦吸入蘋果香氣, 精神馬上變得愉快平和。

所以,如果你晚上睡不寧或者有失眠情況的話,

不妨灑點蘋果香薰,擔保你好快進入夢鄉!!



          
If you not yet 50 years of age, it does not matter. 
If you are near 50
years, you have to remember this one for  your eyes and vision care -------
            
             Carrot apple juice


Two years ago, for some time, I think there were thirty-two black spots in front, with my eye movement. At first I thought it was some flying mosquitoes.  I tried to catch them with my hands.
It does not go. Later, I went to see an ophthalmologist who  said they the floaters.  He gave me a bottle of eye drops.  It is  ineffective.
   
At a gathering with friends, I chatted about eye ailments. A lady nearly 80 years said:

"Her eyes are still good, never need to wear glasses ".   It makes me  envious.  I am ony 50 years old and have to to equip with reading glasses. I asked her what things to eat normally for vision health and eye protection. According to her, she did not take any particular care, but every morning, drink a glass of juice comprised of carrot and apple.
 
carrots.jpgCarrots are rich in vitamin A.  They are excellent for your eyes.  I started  drinking this carrot apple juice. After a period of time,  the black specks in my eyes disappeared.  Since then,  I love drinking my self-made carrot apple juice.


如果您還沒有50歲-- 沒關係----  如果您快50歲--- 請記得這一篇-- 保健您眼睛視力-------
             
            紅蘿蔔蘋果汁


    前兩年,有一段時間,我覺得眼前有三兩粒黑點,隨著眼睛移動,起初我以為是小黑蚊,用手趕牠,

    牠不走,拍也拍不到,後來,我去看眼科醫生,據說,是飛蚊症,沒有什麼大礙,開了一瓶眼藥水給我回家點,效果不彰,我祇好隨它去。
    
    過後,有一次和朋友聚會時,大夥互相交談,我聊起眼睛的小毛病,其中有位朋友年近80,她說:

 
apples.jpg

「她 的眼睛還不錯,從來不需要戴眼鏡,遠近一樣看得到。」這使我十分羨慕,因為我到了50歲時,便要配老花眼鏡了,於是我請教她,平時吃了些什麼東西,眼睛保 護得如此健康,據她說,她沒有特別的保養,只是每天早上愛喝一杯紅蘿蔔加蘋果汁而已(就是用一條紅蘿蔔、一個蘋果打汁)。
 
我在想,紅蘿蔔含有豐富的維他命A,常吃對眼睛有益。於是我也學著這樣做來喝,經過一段時間,眼前的小黑點消失了,自此我也愛上這杯紅蘿蔔蘋果汁。






Today is the first day of the boxing week.  Boxing Week is a period of six days or more that starts with Boxing Day and ends with New Year's Eve. It may also include a few days before Christmas and/or after New Year's Day. It is not strictly a week. It is a term that was invented by the retail industry a few years ago (at least in Canada) to enable them to extend (hopefully) the Boxing Day sales frenzy.

This early morning, Julie and I would attend the morning mass.  After the mass, we have a gathering with some buddies who came from South of the border.  We would then start our boxing week shopping.   By the way, some shopping tips for you guys.  

A guide to best buy price for computers, parts, accessories.   The award-winning line of hardwares:

boxing week sale.jpg


Many Canadian and UK retailers, as well as some other Commonwealth countries clear their inventory in Boxing Week specials because in many cases:

  •  Inventory must be counted using expensive labour some time in January.
  • They are introducing new products in the new year.

This results in huge lineups at retailers.



John 1: 1 - 18

1     In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the          Word was God.

2     He was in the beginning with God;

8     He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light.

10     He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.

11     He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.

12     But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;

Does this song 'The Sound of Music' ring a bell to your ears?

It brings back memories of the 60s. Hundreds of people lined up for hours to get the movie tickets to watch this one of a kind music movie. This timeless master classic was produced in the 60s yet it is still a perfect picture for all families. I simply love all the songs as they are so beautiful and lovely.


Today, a buddy sent me the email entitled "The Sound of Music flashmob Cardiff (created by Wales Millennium Centre)". Out of curiosity I watched it. It is a piece of music which matches the festive Christmas Eve bringing with it a breathe of fresh air... the sound of music and the youth of esthetic dancers celebrates the Joyous Birthday of Jesus the Christ.     Guys enjoy and dream in the midst of memories when we were young.

Wish you all have a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year!


Back in 2006 I have done a reveiw  for John Chow Dot Com.

It goes as follows:

john chow.jpgDuring the Christmas holidays,  I spent plenty of time reading the John Chow Dot com reviews. There are six batches of them each batch with 10 reviews.  I read most of them.  I enjoyed reading them.  Among all these reviews most of them (over 90%) are positive and honest. commenting the format, writing style, writing skill and helpful personality of John chow.
 
These readers are now "the great fans" of John Chow and I am one of them reading, digesting and applying  what he blogs in his blogs.  We can find in some of these blogs the shadows of John Chow Dot Com with   respects to the format, ad placement, color scheme, etc.  

I am a relatively new blogger.  I came across John Chow Dot Com some time in September 2006.  I remember  my first impression when I came across this blog.   Um, the name John Chow Dot Com is  good title.  It is simple and easy to remember.  It shows John's great confidence in himself, his own name, knowledge, know-how, presentation and application.  The blog format is simple, neat and concise.  People   visiting the blog can find what they want readily. My second impression is from the red corvette.  I asked myself is this blog related to race cars or may be an auto-maniac on the driving seat of this little blog. But, this impression gone swiftly as my eyes was   caught by the tab "Who Is John Chow".

I checked on the tab and was hooked by the brief and lively description about John.  I began to like this blogger.... a cool man with lot of passion caring for the living beings in his surrounding.  I read more about John in his blog about Techzone and Techmedia.  He is a "big shot" yet so humble and eager to help those who may need help.

I bookmarked this "John Chow Dot Com" and from then I read this blog daily.  Actually I check it out several times every day.  I like his Top Posts    I am an eary batch baby boomer and I am now hooked with blogs .... reading them,  blogging them, improving them along the continued learning journey.  I enjoy reading John's blog.  The reason is the personal touch which are missing in most of today's blogs. In his writing.  John seems very close to me when I read his blog.  It is a feeling of sharing his precious  knowledge and valuable experience which he let people shared unselfishly.
 
What he earned from his blog in 2006 he distributed them to his church and the world non-profit organization   for the kids and people who are less fortunate,   In these days, I don't find this helpful attitude around our neighbour, friends and co-workers. Lastly, I wish the seeds of love and caring for others which John planted on the blogging field will grow
on our global village. 



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you guys!

By the way, keep tuned in for other successful and celebrity bloggers


Gout (also known as podagra when it involves the big toe is a medical condition usually characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis--a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. The metatarsal-phalangeal joint at the base of the big toe is the most commonly affected (~50% of cases). However, it may also present as tophi, kidney stones, or urate nephropathy. It is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood which crystallize and are deposited in joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues.



Diagnosis is confirmed clinically by the visualization of the characteristic crystals in joint fluid. Treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, or colchicine improves symptoms. Once the acute attack has subsided, levels of uric acid are usually lowered via lifestyle changes, and in those with frequent attacks allopurinol or probenicid provide long-term prevention.

Gout has increased in frequency in recent decades affecting approximately 1-2% of the Western population at some point in their lives. The increase is believed to be due to increasing risk factors in the population, such as metabolic syndrome, longer life expectancy and changes in diet. Gout was historically known as "the disease of kings" or "rich man's disease"

It is interesting. Would this interest sustain? It is a gimmick that works only for a short period. For any service business epecially restaurant, we like to be served by waiters and waitresses. Their smiles and friendliness are important and they are not replaced by the robot.

Horrible experience: GPS & Cellphone technology used by bad guys.  People be Alert and Careful.

(scroll down for Google English translation)

電子科技的弊端被坏人利用,真是太可怕了,你一定要看!


電子科技真是太可怕了,你一定要看
電子科技的弊端太可怕了!請小心提防

一。 有關全球定位系統 (GPS)
幾週以前, 一個朋友告訴我, 他所認識的另一個朋友的故事,
正當他們在現場觀賞棒球賽時,他們停在球迷停車場內的車子車窗被打破,被偷了家中車庫的遙控器, ㄧ些錢, 還有崁在儀表板上的全球定位系統。
當受害 者回到家後, 發現他們家中所有有價值的東西全部被洗劫一空。 小偷使用全球定位系統的引航, 找到了他們家,
然後使用車庫的遙控器,開啟車庫大門,並堂而皇之的進入他家。
小偷知道屋主正在觀看球賽, 也掌握了比賽預計結束的時間。 所以很清楚他們有多少時間可以搬空這間屋子。 顯得地,他們是用卡車來把這個家偷個精光。
值得深思的是, 如果你有全球定位系統, 請不要將你家的地址輸入在內。可以輸入一個就近的地址(像是商店或加油站) , 如此一來,當你有需要時!
,定位系統還是可以引導你回家, 即使全球定位系統被偷, 其他人就無法藉此知道你家的地址了。
我以前從未想過... .

二。 手機
有位女士,自從她的手提包被偷以後,
現在已經改變了她編寫手機電話簿的習慣了。
她被偷的手提包內有手機, 信用卡, 錢包等。
當她被偷的20分鐘後, 她從公共電話亭打了通電話告知丈夫此事, 丈夫說才在幾分鐘前收到她傳的手機簡訊詢問提款卡密碼,而他已經回覆了。
當他們匆忙趕到銀行時, 銀行行員告訴他們所有的存款都已被提領一空..
小偷使用手機上顯示為"老公"的資料, 然後發簡訊問密碼。 在短短的20多分鐘內,存款就都成泡影了。
應學到的教訓:
請不要在手機的電話簿上顯示出你跟其他人的關係。避免使用像家, 親愛的,老公,甜心, 爹地, 媽咪...等。 另外很重要的是,
當從簡訊來詢問敏感的資料時, 千萬要再用電話打去確認。
還有當你收到朋友或家人的簡訊, 約妳在某處碰面, 請務必再打電話確認簡訊是否真的來自親朋好友。
如果你無法馬上接通此人, 請非常小心約你見面的親朋好友所選的碰面地點。
以前我從沒有想過以上的事情, 但現在我再也不會在手機的電話簿裡輸入"家"這樣的字眼了

Electronic technology is so horrible, you have to look
Disadvantages of electronic technology is terrible! Beware!

One. The Global Positioning System (GPS)
A few weeks ago, a friend told me that he knew the story of another friend,
As they watch the baseball game at the scene, they stopped the car in the parking lot the fans were broken windows, stolen home garage remote control, some money and there are prominently mounted on the dashboard of a global positioning system.
When the victim returned home and found them all valuable things at home have all been looted. The thieves had used the pilot Global Positioning System to find their home
And then use the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to his house.
The thieves knew the owners were at the game, is expected to have mastered the game ended. So it is clear how much time they can clean out the house. It would appear that they brought a truck to the house of its cleaners.
It is worth pondering, if you have a global positioning system, please do not put your home address in it. You can enter a nearby address (like a store or gas station), so that when you need!
Positioning system or can guide you home, even if the global positioning system was stolen, others would know your home address.
I never thought ....

II. Mobile
There is a lady, since her purse was stolen after the

When she was stolen 20 minutes later, she was from a pay phone telling him what had happened, said her husband only in a few minutes passed before she received your text asking about our Pin number and he has responded to.
When they rushed down the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn a blank ..
The thieves had used cell phone to "husband" of the information, then send text messages to ask the password. In just 20 minutes, the deposits to have gone.

Julian Assange found WikiLeaks in 2006. That year, Assange wrote two essays setting out the philosophy behind WikiLeaks: "To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not. In his blog he wrote, "the more secretive or unjust an organisation is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie.... Since unjust systems, by their nature induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them with more open forms of governance."

Julian_Assange_(Norway,_March_2010).jpg

Assange sits on Wikileaks's nine-member advisory board, and is a prominent media spokesman on its behalf. While newspapers have described him as a "director" or "founder" of Wikileaks, Assange has said, "I don't call myself a founder"; he does describe himself as the edior in chief of WikiLeaks, and has stated that he has the final decision in the process of vetting documents submitted to the site. Assange says that Wikileaks has released more classified documents than the rest of the world press combined: "That's not something I say as a way of saying how successful we are - rather, that shows you the parlous state of the rest of the media. How is it that a team of five people has managed to release to the public more suppressed information, at that level, than the rest of the world press combined? It's disgraceful."Assange advocates a "transparent" and "scientific" approach to journalism, saying that "you can't publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism. In 2006, CounterPunch called him "Australia's most infamous former computer hacker. The Age has called him "one of the most intriguing people in the world" and "internet's freedom fighter." Assange has called himself "extremely cynical" The Personal Democracy Forum said that as a teenager he was "Australia's most famous ethical computer hacker.He has been described as being largely self-taught and widely read on science and mathematics, and as thriving on intellectual battle.

WikiLeaks has been involved in the publication of material documenting extrajudicial killings in Kenya, a report of toxic waste dumping on the African coast, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, the 12 July 2007 Baghdad airstrike video, and material involving large banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer among other documents.

When asked about the ideology and intended purpose of Wikileaks at the 2010 Oslo Freedom Forum, Assange stated:

Our goal is to have a just civilization. That is sort of a personal motivating goal. And the message is transparency. It is important not to confuse the message with the goal. Nonetheless we believe that it is an excellent message. Gaining justice with transparency. It is a good way of doing that, it is also a good way of not making too many mistakes. We have a trans-political ideology, it is not right it is not left it is about understanding. Before you can give any advice, any program about how to deal with the world, how to put the civil into civilization. How to gain influence on people. Before you can have that program, first you have to understand what is actually going on.... And therefore any program or recommendation, any political ideology that comes out of that misunderstanding will itself be a misunderstanding. So, we say, to some degree all political ideologies are currently bankrupt. Because they do not have the raw ingredient they need to address the world. The raw ingredient to understand what is actually happening.

If you like writing or you have writing skill, you should read on the following article which I wrote in November 2006.

ReviewMe.com pays bloggers to write about an advertiser's product or service. It is quite different from PayPerPost. The biggest difference is ReviewMe requires bloggers to disclose that the post is a 'Paid Post'; or "Sponsored Post" or "The Following Is a Paid Review" or "Advertisement" etc.

机长永远保密的十件事:机舱后面最危险

 来源:环球网
 
 
1. "请乘客坐好,系好自己的安全带"这句话如果出自空姐之口十分正常,但如果你听到飞行员提醒空姐也这样做时,就一定表示有要紧事发生了。
 
2. 在跑道比较短的飞机场降落时,无论你多么身强体健,是一定会受到一番颠簸并产生强烈的呕吐感的。
 
3. 乘客让孩子坐在自己大腿上是极其危险的,因为一旦遇到飞机颠簸或减速,孩子很有可能从你手中甩出去。因此最好给他们也买一张票。但是政府担心如果这样要求的话,人们会改选驾车出行,而它的事故率会比坐飞机高得多。
 
4. 有机长说,他们只会告诉乘客需要知道的事,而不是让他们胆颤心惊的事。因此乘客是永远不可能听到机长说:"女士们先生们,我们的引擎刚刚出了点问题"之类的话的。
 
5. 人们常常会问飞行员遇到的最惊险的事情是什么,但实际上他们会告诉你绝非哪次飞行,而是一次地面乘车之旅。
 
6. 在机舱中没有哪个座位是绝对安全的,但是一位退休机长介绍,发生事故时,坐在机舱后部的乘客的死亡率最高,其次是最前面的座位。
 
7. 对于有恐机症的乘客来说,最好预定早晨的航班。因为随着地面温度的升高,气流会变得越来越不稳;而在下午时分又更容易出现电闪雷鸣等坏天气。
 
8. 禁止乘客在飞机上使用笔记本电脑,一方面是担心它会造成电子干扰,另一方面则因为电脑一旦脱手,很有可能以每小时200英里的速度砸中其他乘客的后脑勺。
 
9. 当你登上早晨7点钟的航班时,你希望飞行员个个神清气爽。但实际上他们也有可能做不到。因为他们居住的酒店条件并非都尽如人意。有的酒店周边环境十分嘈杂,有的酒店客房内还有褥虫,有的甚至停车场中还会发生杀人案件。因此,飞行员有时候是也有可能整晚翻来覆去难以入眠的。
 
10. 飞行员们在驾驶舱其实是不戴帽子的,他们并非人们在电视或喜剧片里看到的那样耳机戴在帽子上,衣冠那么整齐。看到那种衣冠严谨,正襟危坐的场面,他们自己也会笑出声来。

Each and everyone one of us are going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.

My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless, and I picked you. Please pass this to at least (4) people you want to be blessed and a copy back to me... 
This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. 
There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for one another.
 


 

The prayer: 
Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. In Jesus' precious name. Amen. 

   
(If the Lord lays upon your heart to send this to more than four people, you are truly blessed).

I got to check my gmails as I have not open them for a while.  And I found couple of emails very interesting and informative.  I want to share with my boomer friends.  there are millions of them out there online.   Guy enjoy.  They are good stuff:
 

I  have used an onion which has been left in the fridge, and sometimes I don't use a whole one at one time, so save the other half for later..

Now with this info, I have changed my mind....will buy smaller onions in the future. 

I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise.  Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family.  My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist. 

The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula. He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.

Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe. 

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick. 

Ed says that when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator. 
 
It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!) 

Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.

So, how's that for news? Take it for what you will.. I (the author) am going to be very careful about my onions from now on. For some reason, I see a lot of credibility coming from a chemist and a company that produces millions of pounds of mayonnaise every year.'

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions .Please remember it is dangerous to cut onions and try to use it to cook the next day ,it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates Toxic bacteria which may cause Adverse Stomach infections because of excess Bile secretions and even Food poisoning.


劉曉波的最後陳述全文

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

諾貝爾和平獎得主劉曉波缺席頒獎典禮,大會將宣讀他被囚前在庭上的自辯文章。

我沒有敵人----我的最後陳述

在我已過半百的人生道路上,19896月是我生命的重大轉折時刻。那之前,我是文革後恢復高考的第一屆大學生(七七級),從學士到碩士再到博士,我的讀書生涯是一帆風順,畢業後留在北京師範大學任教。在講台上,我是一名頗受學生歡迎的教師。同時,我又是一名公共知識分子,在上世紀80年代發表過引起轟動的文章與著作,經常受邀去各地演講,還應歐美國家之邀出國做訪問學者。我給自己提出的要求是:無論做人還是為文,都要活得誠實、負責、有尊嚴。那之後,因從美國回來參加八九運動,我被以「反革命宣傳煽動罪」投入監獄,也失去了我酷愛的講台,再也不能在國發表文章和演講。僅僅因為發表不同政見和參加和平民主運動,一名教師就失去了講台,一個作家就失去了發表的權利,一位公共知識人就失去公開演講的機會,這,無論之於我個人還是之於改革開放已經30 年的中國,都是一種悲哀。

失去自由表達權

對中國都是悲哀

想起來,六四後我最富有戲劇性的經歷,居然都與法庭相關;我兩次面對公眾講話的機會都是北京市中級法院的開庭提供的,一次是19911月,一次是現在。雖然兩次被指控的罪名不同,但其實質基本相同,皆是因言獲罪。

20年過去了,六四冤魂還未瞑目,被六四情結引向持不同政見者之路的我,在1991年走出秦城監獄之後,就失去了在自己的祖國公開發言的權利,而只能通過境外媒體發言,並因此而被長年監控,被監視居住(19955-19961月),被勞動教養(199610-199910月),現在又再次被政權的敵人意識推上了被告席,但我仍然要對這個剝奪我自由的政權,我堅守20年前我在《六.二食宣言》中所表達的信念----我沒有敵人,也沒有仇恨。所有監控過我、捉捕過我、審訊過我的警察,起訴過我的檢察官,判決過我的法官,都不是我的敵人。雖然我無法接受你們的監控、逮捕、起訴和判決,但我尊重你的職業與人格,包括現在代表控方起訴我的張榮革和潘雪晴兩位檢察官。在123日兩位對我的詢問中,我能感到你們的尊重和誠意。

警察法官非敵人

盼能以愛化解恨

因為,仇恨會腐蝕一個人的智慧和良知,敵人意識將毒化一個民族的精神,煽動起你死我活的殘酷鬥爭,掉一個社會的寬容和人性,阻礙一個國家走向自由民主的進程。所以,我希望自己能超越個人的遭遇來看待國家發展和社會的變化,以最大的善意對待政權的敵意,以愛化解恨。

眾 所周知,是改革開放帶來了國家的發展和社會的變化。在我看來,改革開放始於放棄毛時代的「以階級鬥爭為綱」的執政方針。轉而致力於經濟發展和社會和諧。放 棄「鬥爭哲學」的過程也是逐步淡化敵人意識、消除仇恨心理的過程,是一個擠掉浸入人性之中的「狼奶」的過程。正是這一進程,為改革開放提供了一個寬鬆的國外環境,為恢復人與人之間的互愛,為不同利益不同價的和平共處提供了柔軟的人性土壤,從而為國人的創造力之迸發和愛心之恢復提供了符合人性的激勵。可以,對外放棄「反帝反修」,對放棄「階級鬥爭」,是中國的改革開放得以持續至今的基本前提。經濟走向市場,文化趨於多元,秩序逐漸法治,皆受益於「敵人意識」的淡化。即使在進步最為緩慢的政治領域,敵人意識的淡化也讓 政權對社會的多元化有了日益擴大的包容性,對不同政見者的迫害之力度也大幅度下降,對八九運動的定性也由「動暴亂」改為「政治風波」。敵人意識的淡化讓政權逐步接受了人權的普世性,1998年,中國政府世界做出簽署聯合國的兩大國際人權公約的承諾,標誌中國對普世人權標準的承認;2004年,全國人大修憲首次把「國家尊重和保障人權」寫進了憲法,標誌人權已經成為中國法治的根本原則之一。與此同時,現政權又提出「以人為本」、「創建和諧社會」,標誌中共執政理念的進步。

這些宏觀方面的進步,也能從我被捕以來的親身經歷中感受到。

隔十年再被關押

親睹管理人性化

儘管我堅持認為自己無罪,對我的指控是違憲的,但在我失去自由的一年多時間裏,先後經歷了兩個關押地點、四位預審警官、三位檢察官、二位法官,他們的辦案,沒有不尊重,沒有超時,沒有逼供。他們的態度平和、理性,且時時流露出善意。623日,我被從監視居住處轉到北京市公安局第一看守所,簡稱「北看」。在北看的半年時間裏,我看到了監管上的進步。

1996年, 我曾在老北看(半步橋)呆過,與十幾年前半步橋時的北看相比,現在的北看,在硬件設施和軟件管理上都有了極大的改善。特別是北看首創的人性化管理,在尊重 在押人員的權利和人格的基礎上,將柔性化的管理落實到管教們的一言一行中,體現在「溫馨廣播」、「悔悟」雜誌、飯前音樂、起睡覺的音樂中,這種管理,讓在押人員感到了尊嚴與溫暖,激發了他們維持監室秩序和反對牢頭獄霸的自覺性,不但為在押人員提供了人性化的生活環境,也極大地改善了在押人員的訴訟環境和心態,我與主管我所在監室的劉崢管教有近距離的接觸,他對在押人員的尊重和關心,體現在管理的每個細節中,滲透到他的一言一行中,讓人感到溫暖。結識這位真誠、正直、負責、善心的劉管教,也可以算作我在北看的幸運吧

正是基於這樣的信念和親歷,我堅信中國的政治進步不會停止,我對未來自由中國的降臨充滿樂觀的期待,因為任何力量也無法阻攔心向自由的人性欲求,中國終將變成人權至上的法治國。我也期待這樣的進步能體現在此案的審理中,期待合議庭的公正裁決----經得起歷史檢驗的裁決。

獲妻子無私的愛

廿年最幸運經歷

如果讓我出這二十年來最幸運的經歷,那就是得到了我的妻子劉霞的無私的愛。今天,我妻子無法到庭旁聽,但我還是要對你,親愛的,我堅信你對我的愛將一如既往。這麼多年來,在我的無自由的生活中,我們的愛飽含外在環境所強加的苦澀,但回味起來依然無窮。我在有形的監獄中服刑,你在無形的心獄中等待,你的愛,就是超越高牆、穿透鐵窗的陽光,撫摸我的每寸皮膚,溫暖我的每個細胞,讓我始終保有心的平和、坦蕩與明亮,讓獄中的每分鐘都充滿意義。而我對你的愛,充滿了負疚和歉意,有時沉重得讓我步蹣跚。我是荒野中的頑石,任由狂風暴雨的抽打,冷得讓人不敢觸碰。但我的愛是堅硬的、鋒利的,可以穿透任何阻礙。即使我被碾成粉末,我也會用灰燼擁抱你。

親愛的,有你的愛,我就會坦然面對即將到來的審判,無悔於自己的選擇,樂觀地期待明天。我期待我的國家是一片可以自由表達的土地,在這裏,每一位國民的發言都會得到同等的善待;在這裏,不同的價、思想、信仰、政見......既 相互競爭又和平共處;在這裏,多數的意見和少數的意見都會得到平等的保障,特別是那些不同於當權者的政見將得到充分的尊重和保護;在這裏,所有的政見都將 攤在陽光下接受民眾的選擇,每個國民都能毫無恐懼地發表政見,決不會因發表不同政見而遭受政治迫害;我期待,我將是中國綿綿不的文字獄的最後一個受害者,從此之後不再有人因言獲罪。

表達自由,人權之基,人性之本,真理之母。封殺言論自由,踐踏人權,窒息人性,壓抑真理。

為踐行憲法賦予的言論自由之權利,當盡到一個中國公民的社會責任,我的所作所為無罪,即便為此被指控,也無怨言。

謝謝各位!

Full text of the final statement of Liu Xiaobo



Yesterday rains were falling. the whole day.  Today snow starts early.
I have to shuffle so that I can dirve my car through the driveway.
 I am dreaming a white christmas ... a very beautiflu white christmas.

Do you remember this forever young Christmas song:

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

一開口就驚艷四座。歌詞:「不要、不要後悔,你不該讓自己後悔。

Salad man David 's advice:

When consuming vegetables you should always go for those that are rich in colors. They are high in phytonutrients which are the source of antioxidants. Highly antioxidant foods are  broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and peppers. They offer the rainbow of colors and  benefits for your body. 


 Phytonutrients are nutrients found in the colorful skins of  fruits and vegetables. They give the food colors and very nice smells.   Phytonutrients are the best antioxidant foods.




Although fruits and vegetables are the best sources for antioxidants, the problem with them is that they are produced by the use of chemical herbicides, pesticides, and different types of fertilizers.  We therefore need to wash veggies and fruits thoroughly.


In the busy world of today, it can be very tough to eat like we should, nor can we eat organic fruits and vegetables all the time.  If you can't or don't have access to organic fruits or other sources of antioxidant foods, you should look into nutritional supplements that offer you the phytonutrients you need in your diet.


Definition of phytonutrients (source: about.com)
Chemicals in plants (apart from vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients) that have a beneficial effect the body. There are hundreds, if not thousands of them, and they have effects such as antioxidants, boosting the immune system, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and cellular repair. Highly colored vegetables and fruits tend to be highest in these chemicals, but tea, chocolate, nuts, and flax seeds are all excellent sources as well. Various families of plants tend towards certain families of phytonutrients, for example, orange foods tend to have the caretenoid group.

chicken wings.jpgAvoid eating chicken wings.  It is Dangerous.

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...!
 
A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the.... The cyst removed was filled with dark colored blood. She thought that she would recover after the surgery but! She was terribly wrong.

chicken wings1.jpg
A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed, she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.
During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her.
He asked if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how he knew of her eating habits.
You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met.
This need is none other than the need for food.

chicken wings2.jpg
Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings.
Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists.
These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth..
It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb.
Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!
People, who receive this email, please forward it to your friends and loved ones. I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!

高血壓是殺人不見血的疾病;尤其是中年以上的人,幾乎人人都有被他侵害的危險。

在我青年及壯年時期,我的血壓是低於一般人的。醫師為我檢查身體時,認為那是好的象徵,幾乎一致向我「道賀」,可是我始終知道高血壓的危險性;因為我的父親和祖父,都是在老年時因患中風而死亡的。後來,我又看見幾個中風的友人,有的半身不遂,腦筋失靈;有的纏綿床第,飲食維艱。他們那種痛苦不堪的情形,提高了我對血壓和膽固醇的警覺。

 大約六七年前,一位為我檢查身體的醫師,忽然查出我的血壓增加,幾已瀕臨危險的邊緣。我便遵照醫師指示,立刻戒酒、戒煙,並服用降低血壓的丸藥。想不到,我的體質竟不能接受那一類的丸藥。每一服用,它就引起我的頭暈及吐嘔。而且,那種丸藥並無根治的效能;一但停止服用,血壓立即上升恢復原狀。我於是改用中國人的土方,把山楂熬成飲料,每天喝一、二小杯;又聽故友薛光前兄的介紹,服用中藥杜仲。過了一年,兩者都未發生任何效果。我便對我的健康問題發生了一點憂慮。

 今年五月,我偶然在一美國銷行甚廣的醫藥衛生雜誌Prevention看見一篇「你願意每天花幾分鐘去被減低你的血壓嗎?」我因為這個題目很動人,當時把全文讀了兩篇,還照著它所指示的把那個所謂「Isometric Exercise」的肌肉運動,試行了幾次,隨著天天如此練習。

 我當時雖仍半信半疑,但五星期後量血壓,居然發現它有下降的趨勢。我初讀那篇文章時,我的血壓是190-90;那自然是太高;醫師認為只要低的舒張壓數字不超過九十,還是不會發生危險的。我的實行那肌肉運動的第五星期,即查出低的舒張壓數字已由九十降到八十七,我便知道這種治療是有效力的。我的信心增強以後,我便不斷的每日作此運動三次,也不斷的查出我的血壓高的數字和低的數字同時逐步下降。

 從今年五月到十一月,我的血壓可以說是直線下降。高的收縮壓數字190-180-170-160低的舒張壓數字是90-87-85-83。我於十月返台省親,又連續量了幾次血壓;最後的紀錄是142-80這對一個中年人或老年人都是很正常的。

我平日對寫作的態度一向很謹嚴;尤其是涉及歷史或學術的。以我一個不懂醫藥的人,茍非自身有此六個多月實際經歷,決不敢隨意作此有推介的報導。現在我就要談到這個肌肉運動治療的本身。它是極輕便而又極簡單;人人可以一學即會,而且隨時隨地都可以練習。任何人只要有恆心,有毅力,天天行之,一個月後便可見功效!

 我現在再進一步的作簡略說明,凡練習此項肌肉運動者,

 1首須全身鬆弛而直立。

2兩手下垂,十指伸張而不可握拳。

3然後用力使全身緊張,包括頭、頸、胸、背、四肢、雙腿及面部。

4同時口叫一、二、三、四、五、六後,即將全身鬆弛。

5如此一緊一鬆,反覆三回,即可結束。

 每日每餐之前照此方式練習三次,只不過一分半鐘而已!

此項運動既極簡單,讀者如將此文多讀一遍,亦必可於一刻鐘內照行,不至有何困難。惟正在服用降低血壓丸藥者,暫時不可立即停止丸腰,只可逐漸減少,以求兩種治療法之協調。如有懷疑之處,不妨與醫師商談。

 此種肌肉運動之新治療法,仍美國三位專家包括一位名醫偶然發現。那位名醫因見若干向他就診的老年人,步履維艱,又不能作任何健身運動,藥石既已失靈,只好讓他們一試肌肉的一鬆一緊。不意他們練習了五星期後,個個恢復兩腳行動的機能,他再叫那些病者繼續做下去,不出兩個月,不但個個足疾消失,行路正常,而且個個的血壓都跟著降低。

 他於是和其他二位專家研究其中奧妙,一致承認這是治療高血壓的新發現。於是他們一面發表那篇論文,一面把那方法推行於其他患高血壓者。推行雖還不廣,但至今沒有發生相反的效果,或有甚麼不良的副作用。至於上面所講的口叫「一、二、三、四、五、六」,正是要全身緊張時調劑呼吸,也有一點「練氣功」的作用。

據這三位專家的看法:凡作此肌肉運動而將血壓降低者,降低以後,仍應繼續行之,以求血壓正常化的永恆。即目前無血壓問題之人,如願行此肌肉運動,亦可防止血管硬化,而使血脈流通。

身體肥胖之人,如能於戒煙酒、慎飲食之外,行此肌肉運動,必可如一般人一樣的減肥通血,延年益壽。深盼讀者切勿忽視血壓問題而致血管硬化心臟衰退。一個國家的富強康樂,須賴有心身健康的國民。我們對自己、對國家,都負有增益個人健康的責任!

cup of   wine.jpg




To my friends  who enjoy a glass of wine...
 
And those  who don't and are always

seen with a  bottle of water in their hand.

As Ben Franklin said:
 
In wine  there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is  bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials,
 
Scientists  have demonstrated that if we drink

one litre of  water each day,

At the end  of the year we would have absorbed

More than 1  kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria
found in  faeces.

In other  words, we are consuming 1 kilo of  poo..

However
,  
We do NOT  run that risk when drinking wine & beer

(or  tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)
,
because  alcohol has to go through a purification process

of boiling,  filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poo,
Wine =  Health.

Therefore,  it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
than to drink water and be  full of shit
.

There  is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
 
I'm doing  it as a public  service!

FOUR THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO!!! 
 



There are a few things that can be done in times of grave 
emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. 
Check out the things that you can do with it: 


FIRST 
Emergency 

The 
Emergency Number worldwide for all Mobile Phones
is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your 
mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 
and your mobile will search any existing network in your area to establish the emergency 
number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even 
if the keypad is locked. This works on all phones worldwide and is free. It is the equivalent of 000.


SECOND 
Have you  locked your keys in the car? 

Does  your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: 

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call 
someone at  home on their mobile phone from your cell phone. 


Hold  your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your  home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. 
Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be thousands of miles away, 
and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). 

Editor's  Note: I didn't believe this when I heard about it! I rang my daughter in Sydney from Perth when we went on holiday.  She had the spare car key.  We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!' 

THIRD 
Hidden Battery Power 

To activate, press the keys *3370# (remember the asterisk).  Do this when the phone is almost dead. 
Your mobile will restart in a special way with this new reserve and the instrument will show a 50% 
increase in battery life. This reserve will get re charged when you charge your mobile next time. 

This secret is in the fine print in most phone manuals.  Most people however skip this information without realizing. 

FOURTH 
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? 

To  check your Mobile phone's serial 
number, key in the following digits on your  phone: * # 0 6 # 

Ensure you put an asterisk BEFORE the #06# sequence. 

A  15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to 
your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your 
phone ever get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them 
this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if 
the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. 
You probably won't get your phone back, but at  least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody done this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones. 

This secret is also in the fine print of most mobile phone manuals.  It was created for the very purpose of trying to prevent phones from being stolen. 

Also -ATM  PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know!! 

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you  can notify the police by entering your PIN # in 
reverse. For example, if your  pin number is 1234, then you would put 
in 4321. The ATM system recognizes  that your PIN number is backwards 
from the ATM card you placed in the  machine. The machine will still 
give you the money you requested, but unknown  to the robber, the 
police will be immediately dispatched to the location. 

All ATM's carry this emergency sequencer by law. 

This information was recently broadcast on by Crime Stoppers 
however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it. 

 
Please pass this along to everyone. 

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it 
on to your family and friends


  


God's Love Letter

The climate change consultation will finish in less than 10 days - on 10 December. We are asking you to help us drive Hong Kong to be a low carbon city! This is your last chance - please sign WWF's petition! We wholeheartedly thank those who have signed already. But to make our voice more powerful, please ask your friends and family to sign the petition too - every vote counts!

The government is proposing to reduce Hong Kong's carbon emissions by importing additional nuclear. However, such "quickfix" cannot lead Hong Kong to become a truely sustainable, low carbon city. WWF-Hong Kong has launched the "One Person One Letter, Say No To Additional Nuclear" petition, to call on the government to combat climate change and reduce the emissions, by first implementing demand side management (DSM) measures and reducing energy consumption in Hong Kong.

WWF also joined other green groups in submitting a petition to the government, demanding better energy efficiency measures first, instead of recklessly importing additional nuclear power. In Legco's special meeting on "Public Consultation on Hong Kong's Climate Change Strategy and Action Agenda" on 26 November, Dr. William Yu, WWF-Hong Kong's Head Of Climate Programme, directly expressed your concerns on additional nuclear supply to the law makers, and shared WWF's alternative proposal based on demand side management.

WWF is also encouraging the public and different stakeholders to discuss the feasibility of implementing demand side management measures in Hong Kong, and the pros and cons of the nuclear proposal. We therefore invited international experts, Secretary for the Environment Mr. Edward Yau, and the Managing Director of CLP Power Hong Kong Ltd Mr. Richard Lancaster to participate in WWF's "Climate Change series - Energy Policy Forum" in November.







Verse 1:
Upon the hill on Calvary
He came from Heaven's throne
Our fallenness and mercy meet
Where blood and water flow
 
Verse 2:
What grace divine what selflessness
That Christ would bear the weight
Our proof is scarred on hands that bled
That we were worth every nail

Chorus:
And all the praise and glory to God
We sing Hallelujah sing Hallelujah
For the King has carried the cross
He is risen from the grave

Verse 3:
Beyond the tomb to holy skies He rose in victory
And bridged for us the great divide
His life is our liberty

Chorus x2 Bridge:
Your love
It's Your love
It's Your love
That has saved me
Your blood
It's Your blood
It's Your blood
That has claimed me
