A crank powered LED flashlight and cellphone charger from CDR-King.

ernie — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:27:25 +0000

CDRKing sells at a high 285 pesos a three LED bulb flashlight with a dynamo-crank charger! Look for item number XLN-281B. Imagine no more need to buy batteries for the rest of your life or for the life of the flashlight if it does not breakdown during the warranty period (a laughable free replacement for 1 week). The LED bulbs are rated for > 10,000 hours with a power output less than 0.15Watts. It weighs 102 g so your arms will not feel leaden if you do carry it for a long long time at night.

What is more amazing, the flashlight comes with various plugs for Nokia, Motorola phones. I have not tried charging my cell phone with it yet, not because I will look cranky silly turning on the crank, but simply the opportunity, a blackout, has not happened yet.

The only negative is its relatively high price of 285 pesos. It will take more than a year for sure to recover the initial cost! but then you don have to any buy extra batteries.

As usual, the fine print at the back is virtually unreadable.but you are supposed to get 6 months free service warranty and which is useless if lost or threw away the purchase receipt.

And here is a front-view of the three LED bulbs.

A small plastic sealer: Sibilant heate

I just cannot laugh at the Sibilant -heater heater from China, a portable plastic sealer requiring two batteries. The gadget set me back for 81.00 pesos, from National Book Store.

Your plastic food covers are friendly sealed by sibilantly slide only.
It has a magnetic bottom so it can be set at fridge.

Sibilant-heater
Simply sealed.

How to use: Please hold the front of the body, clip tightly and slide it slowly for three seconds.

It may be has a little flair at first. After clip it more lightly and please slide it slowly once again when it was not sealed.

Here are precautions for use:

Batteryare must be used alkaline battery, oxy-ride battery.

Please make sure the plor of plus or negative then put into when put batery into it.

It may be can not sealed accoring with bag type.

Please use new batttery.

the bag may be damaged for heating.

it souble be a cause of leak, heatring, damage if the batery pole are mis-set.

Please do not break down, repair or freform. It would be cause of failure , trouble or injury

Pleas do not touch to copper wire. It could be a cause of burning.

Please close safe cover when no used.

Please change battery early when would be take much time on sealing.

Please do not set the where filre, high temperatrure.

Please use at where children cannot touch it.

Please do not use thinner etc when in cleaning.

Alas there are no polarity markings inside the the battery case so I assume the batteries must be in series.

New Zealand, safest place in the world?

ernie — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:20:38 +0000

A magnitude 7.1Richter scale earthquake struck New Zealand recently and no lives were lost! Around 500 buildings (mostly old and brick and mortar)were destroyed and damage was estimated to be 930Million Brit. pounds approx 1.43 billion US dollars.

The zero fatality rate is in stark contrast with the horrible number of victims in the Haiti earthquake tragedy. New Zealand has tough building codes and the time the earthquake was also fortuitious, occuring before dawn on a Saturday. It was almost a non-news. But any natural calamity is still a tragedy.

Topblogs.com.ph/education rankings still not being updated.

ernie — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:18:52 +0000

We will start soon at 12:00 the start of another week of following the topblogs rankings on educational blogging sites. We believe that a studious reader can follow up on the progress of a blogging site, its change in rank on the previous date, and the number of visitors it lags behind the site which is in front of it in the rankings.

We noticed that after saturday’s report, the frequent updates to topblogs rankings have stopped. Does this portend a major problem in topblogs? We don’t know, an explanatory message would be much welcome. Topblogs still has no significant competition for independent rankings of bloggings sites. We wish them success in resolving this latest issue so we we can also continue to report on the dynamics of the topblogs rankings.

Topblogs is accessed by visiting
http://www.topblogs.com.ph/education”. Our own secondary reporting may be accessed at http://dr-adorio-adventures.blogspot.com/. An index to our weekly reportings is in
Index page to topblogs.

We will continue to follow up the topblogs rankings as most of the Filipino educational sites are listed.

Is Floyd Mayweather sick? See latest racist video

ernie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:34:44 +0000

Here is part of Floyd Mayweather rants:

“As soon as we come off vacation, we’re going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain’t worried about that. So they ain’t gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don’t want you all to jump on my d—. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. … Once I stomp the midget, I’ll make that mother f—– make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice.”

More rantS:

” ‘Poochiao’ got three losses and two draws and been knocked out twice,” Mayweather said. “So, like I said before, once I beat him it’s going to be a cakewalk and it’s on to the next. … We know Pacquiao made $6 million in his last fight and Floyd Mayweather made $65 million in his last fight. Three losses, two draws. Ohhh, hell no, this is America baby. We built on winning. Step your game up, f—-t. … That mother f—– Pacquiao, he can’t speak no English. He never seen a contract he didn’t like. Mother f—– signed with two companies [Top Rank and Golden Boy]. Look it up. And then this mother f—— with Nike only got 70 Gs. How stupid can a mother f—– be? Reebok gave me a million dollars for three weeks. I wore Reebok s— for a week for a million dollars. … This mother f——’s name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets.”

God did not create the Universe -Steven Hawking

ernie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:41:23 +0000

Refer to http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100902/lf_nm_life/us_britain_hawking. We summarize the following reasoning of Hawking:

“because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.”

Ah well, we have to do some research further, but a physicist of Hawking’s stature is well respected in science, but we remind the reader that Psalm 14:1-2

None but the fool says in his heart, God does not exist.

We are sure there are Nobel prize winners in Physics who still believe there is a God who created the universe and we hope some of them will offer their comments shortly.

On the other hand, religious leaders hit back at Hawking

Of course, if you end up in real hell, you cannot blame Hawking as your source of atheism.

A miracle cure for dengue fever??

ernie — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:31:41 +0000

From an email going the rounds:

I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate’s son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after 15 liters of blood transfusion.

His father was so worried that he seeks another friend’s recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135.
Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.

Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf.. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will lose its strength.
Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like “Won Low Kat”. But it works.

*Papaya Juice – Cure for Dengue*

You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it’s good to share this with all.

A friend of mine had dengue last year.. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing.
She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there’s no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.

Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside.
We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!!

Amazing but it’s true. It’s believed one’s body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat in one’s body, thus the fever will go away.
I found that it’s also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat.

Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It’s great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients.

Furthermore it’s so easily available.
Blend them and squeeze the juice! It’s simple and miraculously effective!!

Thanks & Regards

This is an urban legend and so falls under snake-oil saleman’s pitch.

In fact this email is too old(!) circulating even before 2005.

We post this so you will be warned to consult a professional doctor when infected by life threatening health situations.
