Read your "Fruit label"

From My InBox: Don't buy GM fruit identified by No. 8 on its label Very useful to know - it may allow us to beat our Govt toeing the American FDA line on hiding GMO foods ?? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_look-up_code Read your fruit in the number posted. "Fruit label" will tell consumers the fruit, and whether the fruit are safe or unsafe for eating. Label for :- Traditional fruit : four digits beginning with 4 Organic fruit : five digits beginning with 9 Transgenic fruit : five digits beginning with 8 Example : You happen to see an apple in the store: If its label is 4922, it is a traditional apple, having used herbicides and chemical fertilizers during planting. If its label is 99222, it is an organic apple. A bit more expensive but free from herbicides and chemical fertilizers. If its label is 89222, it is genetically modified (GMO). You may not want to eat it. The next time you go shopping you'll understand these figures to know what to buy.

Easy Car Theft_Remote control

Please note that the information shared about a device that can remotely prevent you from locking your car is true. ========================================================= From My InBox: Hi It happens to me as well in Jaya Jusco IOI mall twice. I also thought my remote batt is flat. I went round n round my car trying to press remote, luckily after few minutes it locks. When i went 2nd time, i park same place, also cant lock..thn i change another parking place..remote seems ok again. You are right, i think someone has a device on remotes. The parking place is outside near Jusco entrance (nr secret recipe), next to ioi members parking. Please dont park there! Scary... > Hi, > > I think I almost became a victim of this last night. Had dinner with my > friends at one of the restaurant near Kayu in SS2 (formerly Cheow Yang). > After dinner, I unlocked the car to put some stuffs in the back. Then I > don't seem to be able to lock the car again. It was like the remote > batteries were totally flat. No signals at all. My remote doesn't have a > light so I couldn't tell if the batteries are weak or flat. It just didn't > work. All of a sudden for no reason, the remote just doesn't work. > Then my friends decided we will just pop over to Kayu for a drink. Since it > was almost the other end of the block, I decided to drive over and park > nearer to Kayu. Thank goodness I did that. When I got down at Kayu the > remote worked fine again. No problem. So, now with this email which I just > received, I think it was highly possible that such a device is being used on > my car last night. > If you all ever encounter such situation with your car remote, just drive > off and re-park somewhere else and see if the remote can work again or not. > Best Regards, > Car Theft > PLEASED BE INFORMED > > Friends and colleagues, Last week, my wife's car got stolen in a very busy > place near Jaya Jusco in Mahkota Cheras. This episode is something worth > sharing so that we can reduce the chance of having our cars stolen.

Who are you feeding?

If you do not want stray dogs in your neighbourhood, what must you do? My answer is, “DON’T FEED THEM!” I read with concern (StarMetro: "Home on the Streets" dated 19 July 2012)that food provided under free food programme are dropped at designated area to be picked up by “someone” for the homeless. How are such NGOs to know if the food do reached those who deserve to eat them? It is in the news too that low-cost units are not owner-occupied. These units are often rented out to foreign workers who are on the move, based on the projects they are working on. Would they care about the environment they live in? Take a look at the low cost buildings in your area and you will get a clear picture that they are generally not well maintained. So how do NGOs know that they are not feeding illegal immigrants who may also be occupying homes meant for fellow Malaysians who need them? But can we blame low-cost unit owners from renting out their units for extra source of income? No! Blame the Ministry of Housing and Local Government who do not build low-cost units with the future in mind. While we have read that some low cost units have been taken up by those who are already owners of other houses, there are those who deserved them and have started out with low income. Over time they have progressed in life, their children have grown and they could now afford better homes. Look at the lifestyle of the majority race. If the culture is for all family members to live under one roof and to enjoy family gatherings in a large kitchen, how is it possible for them to continue living in the low cost units they could then afford? Maybe we should learn from the neighbouring countries. In Singapore, when size is a factor that caused units in unpopular district to be unsold, the Housing Development Board broke up the walls dividing two units and to create jumbo units which were quickly taken up. Why must low cost buildings be branded as such forever? If there is an option for owners of low cost units to acquire their next door units to extend the size of their homes, we could resolve the issues of unoccupied units or rental of such units to foreign workers. As neighbours of low cost buildings, I am sure you would like to see them well maintained and occupied by fellow Malaysians who have progressed in life, right?

Should I Really Join Facebook? (Priceless)

From the Laughter Club: Read it all the way through! It's a good laugh! AND really quite true!! A good laugh for people in the over 50 group !!! =================================================== When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I ran with1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space. That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world. My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag. The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud. I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship. When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me. To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings. The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me. Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot.." P.S. I know some of you are not over 50. I sent it to you to allow you to forward it to those who are. We senior citizens don't need anymore gadgets. The tv remote and the garage door remote are about all we can handle.
