Fantasy Basketball I Upset No.3 Seed

As I mentioned before, I managed to squeeze into my Yahoo! fantasy basketball league's playoffs last week. In the 1st round of the playoffs, my team Pujutengineered.com, the no.6 seed, managed to upset the no.3 seed team Murdy by the final score of 6-3. Next up is the no.2 seed, Da Bulls, who had a bye last week. The matchup this week maybe prove to be too tough for my liking as the opposite team boasts a lineup of Iverson, LeBron James and Baron Davis. Besides those superstars, it also has Jose Calderon and Al Harrington as its members. I am surely going to lose out of the FG%, FT% and Points total, and even maybe Assists total if Steve Nash doesn't up his numbers this week.

Police Gear

Law enforcement officers dressed in full gear are always smart and professional looking, at least to me. It gives a sense of authority to them and make them feel respectable. Therefore, for every profession, each has its own uniform which reflects on its professionalism. Police gear such as the tactical boots, vests and shirts can be easily bought over the internet for personal collections and admirations or even for dress-up parties! I particularly like the vests which have a lot of pockets for other gears and gadgets.

Free Software Giveaway Everyday

This is a site called Giveaway of the Day. What does it give? Full version softwares. Of course, don't expect Adobe Photoshop CS or Windows Vista. Tone down a bit. It's for miscellaneous softwares which generally cost less than $100, well let's put it $50. =P This is one channel where you can get to use the full version of a software legally. Now you can stop hitting your head into the walls pondering where to get the money for your software in this kinda time (gas prices, mortgages, etc.)

And most of the softwares given out are those which I have not heard of. Only a few are familiar to me. But no, not all the giveaways are crappy. You'll need to check back everyday to see what is the giveaway of the day because it changes every 24 hours. This actually gives developers a chance to spread its software's popularity and also to users to know more about those programs. So far I've only downloaded a few. I bumped into this website earlier this month.

JanSport Rockridge Backpack Review - Carry It in 3 Ways

I saw this JanSport Rockridge backpack which retails for $100.00, supposedly. It's widely available for about $60 now. The unique feature of this backpack is that it can be carried in 3 ways: backpack style, over the shoulder sling style and briefcase style. So it can actually become a combination of a sling bag, a backpack and a notebook briefcase. The JanSport Rockridge backpack is a outdoor-ready backpack which offers ultimate versatility for its owner(s). It features AirCore™ shoulder straps and AirLift™ sling strap for superb comfort.It also has a padded sleeve that fits a 15" laptop, large front pockets with angled organizer to keep essentials handy, plus a compression water bottle pocket to hold your water bottle and a fully padded back panel for cushioning.

Other extra added features include bungee cord gear stash with cord lock, easy access V-loft pocket, reflective zipper pulls for nighttime visibility and a padded grab handle. This is available for $59.99 right now from Amazon. This is a great alternative for me to add to my Coleman Exponent Cortez which I purchased on December 27 2005 (pictured right). I got this Coleman Exponent Cortez as a last minute solution to my winter trip to Orlando, Miami and Key West in 2005. It has served me well over these years as it has become my #1 travel backpack. I try to stuff everything in this as I dont like to bring around luggages around. I want to travel, not just holiday. The Cortez has a smaller front compartment, a medium front compartment with organiser to put in pens, passports, keys, etc. The main compartment is big enough (1800 cubic inches) and has an internal compartment for a hydration system with a hydration tube exit port. The side mesh pockets with elastic bands accomodate water bottles perfectly fine. The has a waist strap which can give me extra security to the backpack. And I shall not forget to mention that I got it at a bargain price of $19.99 from Amazon back then.

Yes! I Squeezed Into the Playoffs

I made a 2 spot jump to no.6 in the Fantasy Basketball league over the weekend. It happened at the best possible time. It was the last round of head-to-head matchups before playoffs and I was ranked no.8. So I really needed to push hard for the last playoffs spot, yeah the last spot at no.6. Everything worked in my favors, I was matched up with the bottom team, njbball, and the other 2 teams above me, The Team and Buggs 1, suffered losses. Those combinations catapulted me into the last playoffs spot! Hurray for team PujutEngineered.com. Also, just to announce, I am not gonna renew my domain of Pujutengineered.com for this year, yet. I just feel it's not worth it and I can do without it but still survive mightily in this congested world wide web. Now don't go stealing my domain k?

If Only Oysters Gave Diamonds Instead of Pearls

Girls LOVE diamonds. Ask every woman you know and you'll hear that they would want a sparkling diamond ring as her wedding ring with xx carats. Is it a trend or is it the general perception of women about the rock? And the rock does not come cheap. I have seen men wearing a simple ring with no stone to be seen while their wives parade their shiny diamonds to everyone. Women take pride in receiving diamonds, be it a ring, a necklace or a pair of earrings while men work extra hours to fill in the huge hole in his bank account. If only oysters gave diamonds instead of pearls. I would go dive in and collect them until I find one with a decent size, and I'll be all set. Of course, probably I'll snag one for myself too, don't ask why.

Remember those stalls in theme parks, eg. Universal Studios and Disney World, where they ask you to choose an oyster and they open it up to see how big your pearl is? Imagine they do that for diamonds! Of course, this is all just left for imagination because if you think back carefully, if for eg. oysters produce diamonds instead of pearls, assuming pearls still exist from another source, then the market would be flocked with diamonds and diamonds will be cheap. You think your lady still want it as the wedding ring then? Ha! She'll be asking for a pearl! Bottom line, women would ask for the expensive ones. So get prepared to splash out the money, men. No matter what.

Get real and know to know about the oysters, for eg. Gulf oysters. Learn about oysters risks and also recipes because maybe you'll meet your woman who treasures pearls more than stupid expensive rocks, yes the diamonds.

Chips and Chat Poker Application

I saw a facebook application, a poker game application which held a banner saying something about winning a Nintendo Wii for 15 days (1 per day). So I signed up and played a little bit of poker. Sadly, no Wii wins yet. The appplication is ok. I just want to win a Wii. Also, they have tournaments which offer the top prize of iPod Touch and Starbucks gift cards. Promotion ends March 29th 2008.

Deleting Old Non-performing Blogs, Unclustering I Call It

I am in the process of cleaning up my properties. In my computer. And also what I have stored online. As starters, I am deleting my old non-performing blogs, since I don't update them anymore and nobody reads them anymore and I don't make money from them anymore. Yeah, crap, some had a few PageRank values, but I figure it's better to channel all my thoughts to one blog or two. Furthermore, there are other things taking over my time in the days to come.

Old unused files in the computer are just clusters of data which jam up my hard disk with fragments. I feel happy when I see the amount of free space increasing to 10%, rather than the 1% or 2% which I always see. Yes, lotsa of junk cleared. Goodbye junks! Oh, and if anyone is interested about deleting files to the point that they are no longer recoverable, I use Clean Disk Security. Well identity theft is somewhat a threat. So some "personal" files should be disposed of properly. I can have paper shredders from Staples to dispose my credit card bills and stuff, and I use Clean Disk Security to dispose my digital files.

I Hate Vista User Account Control (UAC)

I have been enabling and disabling the Windows Vista's UAC because both give me trouble. The UAC is built into Vista to protect users from malicious attacks and from virus and intruders. With UAC enabled, little tasks like launching of certain programs would need 2 clicks of approval. Deleting files would also need 2 clicks of approval. It gets rather annoying over time as the system doesn't learn the approved and unapproved actions, unlike a firewall. I have disabled it for good although the Windows security shield would show up everytime I boot up Vista to warn me that I am unprotected, it is much much less annoying than having to through multiple clicks.

Let the Upsets Begin!

Seedings in brackets. On the 2nd day of the NCAA Tournament 2008, more upsets have taken place. Which also means more cinderellas are emerging. UConn (4) has been eliminated by San Diego (13), Siena(13) crushed Vanderbilt (4), and Davidson (10) ousted Gonzaga (7). Then it's followed by WKU's (12) victory over Drake (5). Earlier on the previous day, Kansas Sate (11) defeated USC (6). There should be more upsets coming up as we proceed through the tourney. I am staying tuned and hope that the Badgers won't be one of the casualties. Go Badgers!

Sam and Cruiser Bikes in South Beach

This spring break, many of the young college students definitely opt to go somewhere sandy and tropical. The beach is a common icon of spring break destination. An ex-classmate of mine has decided to make a trip to the South Beach this year, again. However, he countered the "again?" slam with his idea of a more relaxed trip, focused on sightseeing rather than booze and more booze. He said he was gonna rent cruisers bikes and cycle by the beach in the morning, evening and night.

He said he'd cycle through the morning breeze and inhale the cool oxygen in the mornings, cycle under the afternoon heat as he makes his way to beach volleyball sessions with his friends and tanned girls in bikinis, and cycle his way to the clubs at night, just to grab some extra attention from the ladies. New idea there buddy. I am actually buying this novelty of his. One, it will be something different from his previous spring breaks in South Beach. Two, he'll get to see more of the beach and people instead of more booze during his spring break. Three, he could use some exercise to work off his tummy he built over winter break. So yeah, I agree with your cruisers bikes plan buddy. If only you can get the rest of the gang to ride with you....

Dupre Lawyer Claims Dupre Was 17 in Girls Gone Wild Video, Internet Release Delayed

Updates: Dupre's lawyer has claimed that Dupre was only 17 in the Girls Gone Wild video, and after talking to the attorney, Girls Gone Wild has indefinitely delayed the internet release of the Dupre Girls Gone Wild video. A YouTube video of what is supposed to be a preview is embedded below. Don't worry, it is a censored version.

Ashley Dupre Loses $1 Million Offer from Girls Gone Wild, Appeared in 2003

Girls Gone Wild offered Ashley Alexander Dupre $1 million to appear nude in a video and photo magazine. However, the offer was withdrawn after Girls Gone Wild checked their archives and found out that there she was, in their archives. It was a $1 million saving move by the company. Dupre appeared in Girls Gone Wild in 2003. Reportedly, the crew shot seven tapes of Dupre footage, which now everyone knows it's gonna hit the shelves in special editions pretty soon.

Girls Gone Wild claimed that they already had steamy footage of the hot-to-trot call-girl in action when she was 18. "She spent a week on the bus, where she engaged in girl-girl action and got nude," Francis told The Post, adding, "I actually think she had a sexual relationship with a cameraman."

It all took place during spring break in Miami Beach in 2003 after she had been tossed out of her hotel room following a fight with a friend. Quote: "I personally remember Ashley. She was really at her peak back then. I'm glad I got to her before Spitzer - she looked a lot better at 18." They had to send her home to North Carolina after they caught her drinking as she was only 18 then. Francis said he bought her a Greyhound ticket back home to North Carolina.

It turned out that Ashley Dupre, a.k.a. Kristen, has always been a pretty wild girl afterall. Upon further searches on the web, I found these screenshots of the Dupre Girls Gone Wild video back in 2003 when she was only 18 dancing around, partying. Download link Dupre Girls Gone Wild Shots.
Then, there are these photos of her dancing and partying in the club, looking all wild and outgoing. Download link Dupre Party Shots. Disclaimer: These files are not adult content. I don't post adult content on my site.
What do you think of her now? You be the judge. Dupre is a 22-year-old would-be singer from New Jersey who left home at 17 and had gone through life difficult life stages like being broke and homeless, plus drug abuse.

LifeLock Identity Theft Protection

In this advanced internet-dominated world, identity theft has been a serious issue which has garnered more and more attention. Do you know that kids and students are especially vulnerable to identity thieves? This is mainly due to the reason that they don't really manage and monitor their online activities safely with personal and financial activities and information exposed to the threat. It is recommended that extra precautionary steps like using the life lock identity theft protection to prevent the dangers. "LifeLock experts are available right now to help you fight the war." LifeLock promised to do whatever it takes to recover your good name in case of identity theft. They provide on of the best services to protect its customers.

NCAA March Madness Begins! Go Badgers!

The NCAA March Madness has finally begun! USC has fallen in the first round and Wisconsin is seeded no.3 in the Midwest region. After emerging as the Big Ten and Big Ten Tournament champions, things are looking good for the Badgers although I would think they deserve a no.2 seed based on their national rankings which is inside the top 8. I filled up my bracket and have Wisconsin emerging as the National Champions 2008. Biased of course, but I think Wisconsin might face some troubles in beating all teams, as matching up with other teams from other conferences with different playing styles would really need an overall team performance with regular star plays by the starting five and also solid contributions off the bench.

Ashley Dupre Offered $1 Million by Hustler for Nude Magazine Spread Pose

Sure, Dupre's fame has skyrocketed in a matter of days ever since the New York Governor sex scandal was revealed and spread through the media world wide. Hustler magazine has offered Dupre $1 million for her to do a nude spread pose in the magazine. I am saying she should grab the offer on the table, which Hustler has said to be a final offer, with no more than $1 million offered. Unless, of course, she sees a potential future in the music industry where a music company would sign her and maybe forecast herself in the fame which she has always wanted or dreamt of. Lately, reports have mentioned that her popularity has started to dwindle. her MySpace page hits has slowed down significantly and her music downloads have hit a stagnant rate.

Recently, the New York Post had her pictures splashed in full pages on March 14th. Those photos were Dupre is a topless position, more of like a sexy photoshoot to me.

HTC Wizard (8125) Flash Light Problem

My HTC Wizard is having some problems again. Now, the flash light, the one for taking photos with the camera. It lights up for no reason, sometimes blinking. Even when I turn off my phone, it continues to go beserk. The only way to stop it is to cut off the power supply. That's right, pull the battery out! I searched on Google to find if there are any postings about this trouble, but search results are mixed up with the terms "flash light". So, I seriously doubt that reflashing the phone would do any good, but nevertheless I am going to give it a try when I am done with all my official works.

Yahoo! Quits UK, Moving HQ from London to Geneva

Yahoo! is setting to quit on UK. They are planning to complete the move of their EU headquaters from London to a site on the shores of Lake Geneva within the next 18 months. Yahoo! is currently facing a takeover bid worth more that $40 billion by powerhouse Microsoft, which seeks to acquire Yahoo! to compete with Google.

Swiss media have reported that Yahoo will benefit from a special tax break in Switzerland, which would be a great boost from a financial standpoint, but Yahoo! declined to comment on the reports. The group said about 5% of its 700 UK staff will move and a number of managers are understood to have been told they have 30 days to decide to move.

Convenient Online Banking

I am a big fan of online banking. It has made my life so much easier, with the ease of monitoring my money transfers and online transactions all on my desktop. Linking up with Paypal is a feature which online banking easily provides, to move my funds on way or another. I have chosen the e-billing option whenever possible as well to reduce the usage of paper and also as a step to digitalise all my banking, billing and finance statements. As I step into a career, life after college, managing the finance is going to be an important part of earning and spending, and saving. I am starting to think about when I can start to apply for a business credit card. I am not giving up my habits of collecting reward points and travel miles and I will still continue to be a smart spender.

Houston Rockets Wins 21 Straight, Shares Top Spot in Western Conference

The Houston Rockets just won their 21st straight game against the Bobcats. That's the 2nd longest winning streak in NBA history. They are playing high-level of basketball right now and their current hot run has propelled them to the top spot in the NBA's Western Conference together with the likes of the Hornets and Lakers. Even without Yao Ming for the remaining of the season, the Rockets still displayed their composed and energetic performances to keep the momentum going.

Does this bear as the perfect opportunity for Tracy McGrady to end his Playoffs jinx? McGrady hasn't managed to advance past the 1st round of the playoffs in his career. He has lost 6 1st round playoff series in his career. I has a post about them after they exited last year's 1st round in the playoffs after losing a 7-game series to the Utah Jazz. A very disturbing point based on a career profile of a superstar like McGrady. The last time the Rockets set the franchise record for a winning streak, they won the NBA championship. So I am putting my money on the Rockets going to at least the Western Conference finals this year.

To Touch Or Not.....

I have recently pondered about owning a used version of iPod Touch, a 8GB model, which is available from a fellow blogger for $145 shipped. I am thinking of getting one to mess around with it and to get familiar with in preparation for eventually owning an Apple iPhone. With the release of the iPhone SDK recently, I see that the market for extra apps in the future as Apple released the first download numbers for their new iPhone SDK with more than 100,000 developers having already started to toy with the SDK. So definitely lotsa room for expansion even though it's facing the future release of Google's Android OS for mobile phones. This Touch idea of mine was sparked by the fellow's blogger's listing of her used jailbroken 8GB iPod Touch and also an iPod Touch commercial by Apple to promote the new 32GB model.

Nice Stickman Video from Kettering University

Kettering University has some really unique recruitment videos on their website and on youtube to promote itself. They don't use real life people and real scenes or buildings. They use our very own favorite Stickman! The series of Stickman promotion videos for Kettering University are really fun to watch I must say. It's something new to me and it's quite entertaining to watch. So I guess it does its job, to attract attention which stays in the head on the next day! Just have a look at the following Stickman video (a cool one):

In the recent US News and World Report annual "America's Best Colleges Guide for 2008", Kettering University was ranked as "the #1 University in the nation for Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering". Amazingly, it is the eighth year in a row that Kettering has been designated as best in the country in its category. So its Engineering school has to be one of the best in the nation and heavily equipped. And according to the US News Best Colleges, it ranks 3rd in nation in mechanical engineering. I've always relied heavily on the US News and World Report to look up information on college rankings in America every year. Undeniably, it's one of the most sought piece for reference to univeristy rankings each year.

Free Small Defraggler to Defrag My Vista

My C drive is all clogged up with all those stupid 'fragments' from copying and moving files around. Windows Vista Defragmenter program runs in the background but does not show me which files are heavily fragmented and such. I would like to see the color map on the level of fragmentation of my drive as it provides me with data and also a percentage number to show the signs of the clogging up. So I read about this freeware program called Defraggler in a PC magazine and decided to download it to give it a try. I ran some defragmentation routines yesterday and it does what I wanted it to, except that some files remain undefragmented. Maybe it's because of the amount of free space available on the drive. The best feature provided by Defraggler is that you can select individual files to defrag. And it shows each file's number of fragments. Furthermore, the Defraggler application is small in size, as the whole Defraggler folder is less that 1MB after installation. Definitely saved me on memory space and resources. That's why I think it's a great tool to have!

Switching from BitComet to µTorrent

I am making a switch from the popular torrent client BitComet to the lightweight µTorrent. µTorrent, currently on version 1.7.7, sells itself as a very tiny bittorrent client which doesn't require any installation and the executable file is only 214KB! It is a very small stand-alone compressed executable file which run with as little as 14 MB of RAM. BitComet sometimes gives me frozen windows while it tries to load up the existing tasks.

GPS Pal - Cup Holder Mount for Your GPS Unit

Many drivers who own a Global Positioning System (GPS) would prefer to have it mounted or placed on the car's dashboard for easy viewing as it would be just right in front of the driver at a suitable height. Unfortunately, in doing that, it blocks the view of the windshield area, thus creating different opinions on whether GPS units should be allowed on the dashboard of a car in some states (such as California and Minnesota). Well, GPS Pal provides itself as a viable solution for drivers as it easily fits into the generic cup holder in any car or automobile which uses a cup holder slot.

With GPS Pal, it is now safer and gives drivers a better vision with nothing blocking the view of the windshield area. Excess wires of the GPS unit can be stored in the bottom of the GPS Pal to reduce the messiness created by those wires or any extension wires. "GPS-Pal is very versatile and can be moved form one vehicle to another by just unplugging from your power source and switching to another vehicle plug in and switching to another vehicle plug in and go." Installation is easy and this product is truly innovative enough to appeal to the GPS owners market.

Ashley Alexandra Dupré MySpace Page Link Address - "Kristen" in Spitzer Scandal

My friends asked where's the link to the Ashley Alexandra Dupré MySpace page. Ok, in the height of her unwanted popularity, hopefully she'll get through this and carry on to have her successes in life. Well, this heightened scrutiny by the nation might just kickstart her music career which she longed. She has one of her songs on the MySpace page called What We Want, if you think she's a good musician, do support her.

Here is Kristen - Ashley Alexandra Dupré's MySpace page link.

Ho No! NY Governor In Prostitute Sex Scandal, Resigns

Ho No! That was the headline on the front page of a newspaper. Very catchy and ironic, from "oh no!" into "ho no!". It was directly referring to the prostitute (call girl) which New York Governor Eliot Spitzer patronised on the eve of Valentine's Day 2008 in a hotel in Washington DC. Now, Spitzer has a new shame name, Client 9. The girl, as on the right, is Kristen, full name Ashley Alexandra Dupre, whose MySpace page has been experiencing a massive hike in hits. Kristen is a 22-year-old would-be singer from New Jersey who left home at 17 and had gone through life difficult life stages like being broke and homeless, plus drug abuse.

All this were results of the wiretapping implemented to watch out for fraud and money laundering activities among politicians, which led to the beginning of the end for Client 9. Earlier on, the Emperors Club VIP was busted for allegedly running a prostitution ring.

"When the Emperors Club VIP said it was sending Kristen, a call girl described as a "petite, very pretty brunette," Client 9 was pleased. "Great, OK, wonderful," he said, according to an affidavit. Client 9, later revealed to be New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, was caught arranging the liaison on a federal wiretap. It was the beginning of the end for him"

Federal agents have determined New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer used a high-priced call-girl ring at least eight times in recent months. The affidavit states "Client 9" paid $4,300 for 2½ hours with a call girl he arranged to meet at Washington's Mayflower Hotel, with some of that a deposit on a future session. Court papers state he also paid for train tickets, cab fare, mini-bar and room service charges for Kristen -- a 5-foot-5, 105-pound brunette he arranged to meet the night of February 13.

Trak Slim Printer Behind Laptop Screen

When you're a laptop owner like me, you'd want to keep as many things mobile so that you can carry it around with you if you travel a lot in your daily routine or day job. However, the printer is one which you can never have to be integrated into the laptop computer. This is like a dream of mine, a built in printer with my laptop computer, loading the paper on the front and receive the printed matter at the back. Not very realistic.

The best option now is the Trak, designed by Hung Chih Wang. This USB-powered mobile printer fits comfortably on the back of the screen of a laptop. The printer head is detachable, and zips along a track on the printer itself to get the job done. With a detachable printhead, this shouldn't be a difficult task.

This innovative product is still in development, and may serve as an indispensable companion for road warriors who need to get work done while on the road. Business travellers would love this, really.

Fantasy Baseball Software to Help Win Your Fantasy Baseball League

My friend Ryan O. is a huge baseball fan and I remember since the days when I was at Princeton House, Ryan is the fantasy baseball league commissioner. Every season before spring practice, he would send out a mass email to get participants for his annual fantasy baseball league. I am a big sports fan myself and I participate in fantasy sports, monitoring my teams collecting fantasy points and move up the rankings as reflected by the real sports scores and stats. Winning a fantasy baseball league is not as easy as you think. I have to go through drafting, which is one of the best part because I will need to make decisions and arrange my draft rankings to prioritize the players who I want.

And if I have a software tool such as the Fantasy Sports Prophet's Fantasy Baseball software, it would be a great boost to my chances of winning the league. The software has the draft assistance tool which makes player comparison easier than ever and is accessible from anywhere because it is web-based. Injury news and player updates, which I need to keep track of throughout the season, is also available within the software, very convenient indeed. Some working class fantasy lovers create office pools or office leagues with entry fees and the outright winner takes the pot. However, by emerging as a fantasy league champion, you establish yourself as the best manager by combining smart decisions, good risk-taking skills, rich sports knowledge, and persistence.

You'll deserve the respect from other league members. Right now, sign up for the software and get $10 off using promo code BMC200, just for you fantasy fans. Let it begin!

HTC AT&T Tilt An Alternative to Apple iPhone, A Possible Replacement for My Wizard 8125

Everyone wants the iPhone, admit it. Other than the AT&T Tilt might be the coolest handset on the market—and certainly one of the most powerful. Made by HTC (acronym for High Tech Computer), the Tilt has an 2.8-inch screen that slides up to reveal a surprisingly roomy QWERTY keyboard capable of tilting up to 40 degrees, making it more like a mini laptop than a cell phone. This is a reasonable upgrade taret for those who snapped the Cingular 8125 back in 2006 when it was arguably one of the better and successful PDA phones/PocketPC. It runs on the Windows Mobile 6 operating system, which allows you to work on Office files and swap information with Outlook via Microsoft ActiveSync. The biggest upgrade I would say is its built-in GPS, a feature which my HTC Wizard 8125 does not have.

The Tilt comes equipped with a 3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and support for high-speed 3G networks. The Windows Mobile OS offers users with more custom apps and add-ons than the Apple iPhone (for now, as Apple has the App Store now for the iPhone). The Windows Mobile platform enables you to bring your Microsoft Office documents along and store or read them off your phone. You can bring the Tilt and leave the laptop at home. Honestly speaking, I am gonna ditch my Wizard 8125 soon if something like this comes at an affordable price.

@mosphere Revolving Restaurant in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

I read about this restaurant in a in-flight magazine and its selling point is that it is a revolving restaurant on the 18th floor of Menara Tun Mustapha and it is currently the one and only revolving restaurant in Sabah. It's called the @mosphere Restaurant, which reminds me of the fact that the Stratosphere in Las Vegas also has a revolving restaurant some 1000 feet above the city of Las Vegas which offers a unique dining experience and a view of the shining Las Vegas at night. Top of the World Restaurant has a separate level with a cocktail lounge and live music for the Las Vegas party crowd.

Back to the @mosphere Restaurant, it is located 10 minutes away from town and offers us a sweeping 360 degree views of the city of Kota Kinabalu. The restaurant revolves one full round in 60 minutes. I am thinking of stopping by whenever I have a chance to catch the beautiful sunset as I reward myself with their cuisine. Free valet and Wi-Fi is provided for its customers. One reviewer mentioned that he was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. The @mosphere Restaurant has comfy sofas and designer chairs and is equipped modern lamps. Sounds like a perfect spot for a laid back romantic dinner with my loved one.

They claim that the sunset lasts longer on higher ground and from the 18th floor, I should really check it out. Can it live up to its described attributes as on the website? I guess I'd need to try it for myself for this breathtaking experience! The website is very well maintained and reflects its restaurant profile with a modern and classy look which easily attracts every visitor's heart.

Reliving Black Friday 2007

I was reliving my Black Friday experience after seeing the related Black Friday website in my bookmarks folder. This website really helped to make things easier and made it easier to save money when shopping for Christmas gifts. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. All the deals are compiled into an organized list on the website and it really helps to reduce the mess that one had to go through in order to get their favorite bargains at rock bottom prices. All the details of the deals, such as number of units per store, rebates involved and also coupons needed are all compiled for my convenience. They also have the cyber monday deals (the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend) for some more deals!

Just in case you are one of the ones who would line up outside a store before it opens, you can quickly and easily check your list and organize your time for more deal hunting later. And there's a Black Friday Excel List last year which had so many deals entered into it that it became such a hot item, even here in my blog where it became the most popular post in November 2007! With the help of the website, Black Friday items can be purchased online without the hassle of having to stand in line at the store at 5am in the freezing cold, especially in Wisconsin!

Sky Train to Tibet - The Highest Train in the World

The Sky Train which is the highest train in the world departs from Beijing West Railway Station heading to Tibet. About 710 miles of track across western China and the Tibetan plateau, it is the highest elevated railway ever built in this world as of today. The Sky Train climbs to 16,640 feet at the highest point. A trip from Beijing to 48-hour trip from Beijing to Lhasa takes 48 hours.

"Like a railway to heaven, the highest train in the world cuts a stunning path from Beijing to Tibet."

The Sky Train leaves Beijing daily at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are sold at the Beijing West Railway Station (011-86/10-95-105-105). One-way prices range from $173 for a soft-sleeper ticket to $53 in the seating-only cabins. Booking months in advance is recommended.

Malaysian Election Scraps Indelible Ink, RM2.4 Million Down the Drain

The Election Commission (EC) for the upcoming Malaysian General election has scrapped the usage of indelible ink on polling day (March 8th 2008). It was actually meant to safeguard against multiple or phantom voting. The plan was scrapped because police received reports of a plan to “sabotage” the election process in Perlis, Kedah and Kelantan. According to theStar's report, "police investigations revealed that people had smuggled the ink in and had planned to go to rural and remote areas to trick village folk into believing that their fingernails had to be marked before they can go to vote."

“In the beginning, we thought it was just an ordinary process that we could just introduce but then we realised, after getting all the necessary advice from the legal experts, that we would have to take a look at the (Federal) Constitution.”

So now what? You just wasted RM2 million on those darn inks from India. Taxpayer's money. So Now what? Just because you "thought it was just an ordinary process" so we should ok the RM2 million down the drain? Well, according to this report, it's actually RM2.4 million on 48000 bottles on indelible ink. A very bad decision in the 1st place, a decision made without being really sure of the possible "confusions" it may cause. So what do we do about phantom voters now? Can someone tell me? No, don't keep telling me it's too corrupted. Everyone knows it.

More complaints from the blogosphere:
Let’s help to think what to do with RM2.4 million worth of indelible ink, will ya?
Indelible ink no more, foul-play plenty more!
What to do with all the indelible ink?
Another dirty trick by the EC - use of indelible ink cancelled...
WTF? Election Commission has cancelled use of indelible ink at ...

There's a lot more. Just head over to http://blogsearch.google.com/ and search the term "indelible ink". Just like what a rakyat said on 8TV news, we can wash the drains ourselves, we just want to express ourselves.
