Darth Vader showing off His Light Saber

Hahaha...here's another post of the Dirty Darth Vader :

Dirty ‘Darth Vader’ stuns women

SEREMBAN: While the widely-hyped movie Star Wars runs in cinemas all over the world, the dark force of Darth Vader struck in Bandar Baru Nilai.

Yesterday, women factory workers in two industrial areas were appalled and screamed when a man in full Darth Vader costume flashed them.

A 33-year-old factory supervisor who identified herself as “Priscilla” said the man got out of his tinted two-door car, strutted about menacingly in his Darth Vader suit before opening it and revealing himself to 15 women workers standing at a bus stop at about 7am.

“At first, I thought he was a die-hard Star Wars fan trying to impress us with his costume. But we were shocked when he showed us his private-parts,” she said.
The women were waiting for buses to take them home after their night shift.
“We were all exhausted after a long day at work and did not see the man’s face as he was wearing a dark mask,” she said.

When some of the women screamed, he jumped into his car and drove off towards the North-South Expressway.

“Next time it will not be “Revenge of the Sith” but revenge on a sick man if we catch him doing his act again,” she added.

The flasher was reported to have displayed himself to another group of workers at a nearby factory.

When contacted, Acting OCPD Supt Mohd Taib Latif said the police need more information such as the flasher's car registration number to track him down.

Dirty Darth Vader

Hahaha....This is actually a real event that happen in Malaysia. I read it on The Star online news site. Chec out the post:

Be alert for ‘dirty Darth Vader,’ factories urged

BY R.S.N. MURALI

SEREMBAN: Factories in the Bandar Baru Nilai industrial estate have been asked to be on the lookout for the “dirty Darth Vader” as he may strike again.

State Human Resource and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Peter Lai Yit Fee said the flasher might expose himself again, when “the situation cools down.”
“He might have gone into hiding now that the police are after him.
“We only hope that the so-called Darth Vader will be caught red-handed for his indecent act,” he said yesterday, adding that the man could also be mentally unsound.

Lai said the state government has advised factories there to beef up security. He also suggested that factory managements send security guards to accompany female workers at bus stops after the night shift.

In the 7am incident on Wednesday, a man dressed as Darth Vader, the evil overlord of the Star Wars movie series, flashed himself to 15 women at a bus stop. Barely two hours later, the man did the same to another group of workers at a nearby factory.

Meanwhile, Acting OCPD Supt Mohd Taib Latif said there were no new reports on the flasher. “He may have into hiding. The police will continue to hunt for the man based on the description given by the victims,” he added.

'World No Tobacco Day' Aims at Ending Deaths by Smoking

Today is 'World No Tobacco Day,' an annual observance started by the World Health Organization to detail the damage done by tobacco smoke worldwide and to discourage people from using tobacco.

According to the WHO, tobacco use kills approximately 3.5 million people worldwide per year. That equals 10,000 people per day.

In addition, the health related costs from tobacco use are $200 billion per year according to a study conducted by the World Bank.

The WHO also estimates that by 2020, tobacco will kill more than 10 million people annually worldwide. That would make it the leading cause of death and disability in the world, taking more lives than HIV, motor vehicle accidents, suicide, homicide and death in child birth combined.

The focus of this year's 'World No Tobacco Day' is getting health care professionals to encourage people to stop smoking. Right now, only a small percentage of health care professionals are trained to get people to stop smoking. The WHO wants to raise awareness of this and increase the training doctors, nurses and other health care professionals get in this area.

Anger over Schapelle Corby is Misplaced

Like many, I feel sorry for Schapelle Corby. I don't think she was smuggling drugs and I can't imagine the trauma she is enduring as she faces her 20-year sentence. I am also extremely angry about this incident, but not at Indonesia.

The reaction since the verdict has been directed overwhelmingly at the Indonesian judicial system. But I get the impression there is an even more insidious, sinister sentiment being directed at the Indonesian people. These are easy places to direct anger and they reflect our self-righteousness. As much as Australians travel and claim to be multicultural and open-minded, it seems many know little about the world.
The case seems quite simple: Corby showed up in another country with illegal drugs. She would have been in serious trouble anywhere in the world, Australia included. And the outcome would probably not be any different.

But the real problem, where Corby has been undeniably let down, is at home in Australia. If, as many believe, she did not put the drugs in her bags then it was the Government, the airline and the airport that allowed this to happen.

Thanks to recent arrests, we now know that drug smugglers are almost certainly operating in domestic airports. So if we presume Corby is innocent and that she was being used as an unwitting drug "mule", then why are we mad at Indonesia? How could an airport and an airline, especially after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, be so incompetent as to let this happen?

I hear talk of boycotting Bali, patronising criticism of the Indonesian justice system and even the corrupt morals of the Indonesian people. Do Australians think they have a monopoly on judicial integrity and moral correctness?

There is even the ridiculous argument that Corby deserves extra leverage, even a pardon from the Indonesian President, because Australia was so generous with its tsunami aid. Let's understand something: Australian disaster relief and Australians on trial in Indonesia are two separate issues. Certainly, aid can come with conditions, but I don't think leniency in the Corby case is one of them. Australia can't take the money back and Australia can't create a new tsunami to wipe out the rest of the country. I have actually heard these as suggestions!

I'm sure people will be angry, no matter what, but we should stop being so narrow-minded. If Corby is innocent then be mad, but direct it at the right places. Instead of the Indonesian legal system, be mad at the airports, the baggage handlers and the drug networks in our airports. And if you want to boycott something, boycott Qantas.

Take a good hard look at Australia before accusing Indonesia for Corby's fate: if we had got our act together, this might never have happened. Corby gets 20 years' imprisonment and we get plastic wrap for eight bucks. Please. People need to get off their high horses and focus their anger here.

Maroons snatch golden victory

For all of u who watch football, here's some actions from DownUnder:


An intercept try to utility Matt Bowen gave Queensland a thrilling 24-20 golden point win over New South Wales in the opening State of Origin match at Lang Park in Brisbane.

I said Give Me Back My BEER!!

Bowen's intercept in the fourth minute of extra time saw the home side break a 20-20 regular time deadlock, and give Queensland a 1-0 series lead over the Blues who had produced an amazing second half comeback.

Did I forgot to tell u that this is my new shirt??
The Queenslanders had looked on track for victory after leading 13-0 at half-time and 19-0 after 50 minutes. But the Blues bolted home, piling on four unanswered tries to lead 20-19 with just eight minutes left on the clock.

Hey u faggot!! Why u grab my butt??

Queensland skipper Darren Lockyer missed a 77th-minute penalty goal attempt to win the match in normal time.

OOpppss!! Wrong bar(Gay Bar)!! Get me Out of here!!

However, a field goal to Maroons half-back Johnathan Thurston in the dying stages saw the scores level 20-20 at the end of regular time, meaning golden point was needed to decide the match.

Give me that ball or u'll be losing your's.

The Maroons employed the smarter tactics during extra time, and a risky pass from half-back Brett Kimmorley was pounced on by Bowen, who ran unopposed to score the winning try in front of a record 52,484 crowd.

Wanna see me 'Fart n Fly'?

Champion: The Man They Called The Latin Snake

Watch The Contender Live on NBC Channel yesterday. What a great match!! These guys in the ring are not just any ordinary boxer. They are fighter, Real Fighter. They fight for their survival, career, dreams n a better life in the ring. These guys will knocks down wall to be where they want to be. A man will do what a man had to do. Here�s the recap of the show:

THE CONTENDER CHAMPION
From across the world, they came to prove themselves. Sixteen of the most promising fighters converged on a downtown Los Angeles facility to compete in a boxing tournament that would change one of their lives forever. Together, they trained, sparred, schemed, struggled, and bonded, boxing each other in the ring for the opportunity to fight for a million dollars.

After fourteen breathtaking battles, only two gladiators were left standing: Peter Manfredo Jr. and Sergio Mora. The two determined compatriots would face each other in the ring at the Mecca of boxing, Ceasar's Palace. But only one could emerge victorious. Only one man could win one million dollars. And only one man would be crowned the Contender Champion.

FROM THE GYMNASIUM TO GLORY
The atmosphere in Las Vegas was electric. A sold out crowd of thousands had packed the boxing arena inside Ceasar's Palace to see the fight of a lifetime. They roared their approval as the center ring lit up, and the host for the evening, Al Trautwig, introduced two gentlemen very familiar to the world of boxing: Sylvester Stallone and Sugar Ray Leonard. The two boxing legends had been integral parts of the process from day one, guiding the young boxers from the Loft of the Contender Gymnasium to the glory of Vegas.

On the previous day, hundreds of fans showed their appreciation by packing the casino at Ceasar's Palace to witness the official weigh in of the Final Four: Jesse Brinkley, Alfonso Gomez, Peter, and Sergio. The dumbstruck boxers reveled in the attention from their adoring admirers. "I'm humbled," Sergio said to the mob, "but I'm here to kick someone's ass!" The throng of fight fans roared their approval, and Sly declared, "No more excuses! Time to get it on!"



IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS
There was only one fight left, the biggest one of them all. Sly and Sugar Ray recalled Sergio Mora's incredible streak as the only undefeated boxer of the tournament. They also marveled at Peter Manfredo Jr.'s miraculous journey from the first fighter to be eliminated, to one half of the final two.

It all came down to this. Two boxers battling their hearts out for seven rounds. "Let's get it on!" Sly bellowed as the crowd roared. Sergio and Peter entered the arena to hails of applause. They stepped into the ring as gladiators. Only one would leave as a champion.



DREAMS DO COME TRUE
After seven rounds of stunning boxing action, Peter and Sergio were bruised, battered, and exhausted. Yet they both stood tall. They were proud of their sacrifices and success in equal measure, no matter the outcome. But in the sport of boxing, one man must lose, and one man must win. By a unanimous decision, the judges declared Sergio Mora the victor, and the Contender Champion.

Sergio raised his arms in triumph and rushed to hug his family. Sylvester and Sugar Ray joined the celebration in the ring to present Sergio with the Contender Champion belt, and to congratulate him on winning one million dollars. Exhausted and elated, Sergio smiled wide and proclaimed, "Dreams do come true!"

Wallace Sword VS Lightsaber

I was at the Grand Central Terminal(the busiest train terminal in New York) few weeks ago for a Scottish Tour Fair where i saw this magnificient sword. It's been made for a warroir some 3000 years ago and is so heavy that I don't think any of us can lift it up. How are they going to fight with this thing. I reckon the warriors from those time must be super huge n Hulk like.

I wonder whether our tiny Master Yoga will be able to lift it up. Think he'll be better off stick with his homemade light saber..haha

Baby Hogan??

Now!! Who needs some WORKOUT!!

SHow Your Mercy

Here's an email that i received from our Pastor Benny. This email makes me wonder how merciful am i when someone did some mistake intentionly or unintentionly on my expenses.

Shld I just be merciful and forgive them or tell them 'It's PAYBACK Time'!!!

"God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy" Matthew 5:7

This is really a hard one. Sometimes when things go wrong, and we knowthat there is someone who can be blamed for it, I am really tempted to loose it. In a way I sometimes fear that I might even enjoy it.

But then I am reminded of this scripture, and then I cringe a littlebit, uhh.. hate it, and at times when I have been able to follow God'sway I really feel a great peace in my life. I become a person greaterthan the problem, and neither the problem nor the person controls meanymore. Following God's way is just like setting yourself free, freeto live worry free, and maximize the opportunities given to us.

As I grew older I realized of the time I wasted in harboring issuesagainst people, and all it did was it stopped my growth, delayed mysuccess and prolonged my suffering.Being merciful is not our ticket to bargain a mercy for ourselves fromGod when we commit mistakes, but this is just a lifestyle of thegreatest kingdom in the world, i.e. God's kingdom.

I hope and pray that this kingdom will rule our heart and these attitudes will be first nature to us and will define each one of us.

Be Blessed

Benny

What about me?I choose to obey n be merciful...it's not easy, but i'll try to. Whats your decision??

Hail Storm In Bribane Australia!!

Just receive this email from a fren of mine(Shane) in Brisbane, Australia. Heres something from DownUnder:

Shane: We had a freaky storm last night. May is late autumn for us, so we don't normally get many storms, but last night (on my way home from work) a huge one hit. There was so much hail, it looked like it was snowing in Brisbane man. Even today (2pm), some places you can still see the ice on the footpaths, gutters, etc.. it looks exactly like snow looks. It was completely surreal man.

Star Wars Dilemmas

Ok, let�s admit it. How can any blog site survive without some sort of star wars talk or jokes. Just surf around the net and its there everywhere. As far as I know, this war is not over it. So either you are with the force or you are far far away in the galaxy. In order to keep up wit the �Star Wars� trend, here is some of my posting:

Trump's Plan for Ground Zero: Rebuild the Twin Towers

Real estate mogul and "Apprentice" star Donald Trump shared a plan of his own Wednesday for rebuilding The World Trade Center. The Donald doesn�t like the design for the new Freedom Tower which New York City plans to build on the World Trade Center site. The Donald's plan is simple, proposes to rebuild the Twin Towers as they were before they were leveled by terrorists on 9/11.

New Freedom Tower Design

Donald Trump Proposed Design

The only visible difference is that in his design, they would be one story taller than the original 110-story buildings and the two new towers would be 300 feet away from where the original towers stood, with a memorial on the scarred footprints. This guy so not creative and lack of ideas. How can he rebuild the same building to remind all of us about the sad tragedy that we are trying so hard cope with.

Trump�s proposal is completely different from the original plan Governor George Pataki has approved, which is now being revised. A new design is expected to be delivered in early summer. Even though no one has asked for his opinion, Donald Trump yesterday formally unveiled his proposed design for the World Trade Center.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg reportedly scoffed at the idea.

Donald Trump, Shame on your Ideas and SHUT your stupid comments UP. Guess What Donald, YOU ARE FIRED!!!

The Sith Apprentice

Even the Jedi Can't escape the Board of Galaxy..

Which candidate do you think should be the next Apprentice?

Today is the last season of The Apprentice. Who do u think will win the race? i personally think that Tana is going to win. Here's some summary that i came out with:

Kendra the Book Smart

Project Manager Record: 3-0

SUCCESS: Pontiac Promotion (episode 12)Determined to win, Kendra pulled an all-nighter and completed the car brochure on her own, while her teammates (one of whom was Tana) went to bed.

FAILURE: Pontiac Promotion (episode 12), Office Product Invention (episode 13), T-shirt design (episode 14)Kendra was unable to effectively manage and motivate a difficult Craig, exposing her inexperience and poor management skills.

SUCCESS: Video Game Championship (episode 15/16)The Floridian realtor successfully managed a difficult team of Danny, Erin, and Michael during the final task. With an executive ready to pull their sponsorship, Kendra was able to turn things around and deliver a successful event.

FAILURE: Accused of flying under the radar, Kendra refused to take initiative early on and was the last to be project manager. Donald Trump doesn't hire those who fly under the radar. Any one remember Jenn M.?

Tana the Street Smart

Project Manager Record: 2-1

SUCCESS: Rock 'n' Roll Auction (episode 8)Tana got "diggity" with it and effectively negotiated deals with major artists by altering her sales-pitch style for each artist.

FAILURE: T-Shirt Design (episode 14)Facing Kendra for the first time, Tana failed to manage her time effectively. She opted for a long taxi ride out to Staten Island in lieu of composing a marketing plan, which cost her team a devastating loss. Can anyone say "bedazzler"?!

SUCCESS: Business On Wheels (episode 5)The Mary Kay sales consultant effectively managed Net Worth to victory by embracing a risky mobile television and movie casting business. Tana displayed excellent delegating skills by allowing her teammates to handle the deal-making.

FAILURE: NYC2012 Athlete Challenge (episode 15/16)Under pressure, the lovable mother from Iowa lost her team's respect as a project manager. She was unable to effectively delegate responsibility and belittled her staff in front of her clients.

Google Feature Caters to Business Users

Google's new product for finding files and e-mails on business computers is the latest effort by the company to get its software installed on personal computers inside companies and guide more users to its Web search engine.

The free Google Desktop Search for Enterprise, released Wednesday, is designed for companies that bar employees from using Google's existing file-search tool because of concerns over security.

Google certainly has good technology, but I think the sales and marketing is going to be a challenge. It is very difficult for a consumer-oriented Web company to sell into the enterprise.

Google released a desktop search tool designed for consumers in October, allowing users to search e-mails and files stored on their personal computers from Google's home page. The new tool is similar, allowing business users to search files created with applications like Microsoft's Word and Excel, as well as Adobe Systems' PDF format. It also can search the e-mail inboxes of users of International Business Machines' Lotus Notes e-mail software, the result of the two companies' first collaboration.

Morgan Stanley Gets Hammered For $1.4 Billion

Morgan Stanley was ordered today by a Florida court to pay an additional $850 million to billionaire investor Ron Perelman. This brings the total to $1.4 billion in damages.

The other day, Morgan Stanley said it would reassess the amount of funds it had set aside for Perelman's lawsuit after being ordered to pay $604 million. Now that this additional $850 million has been tacked on, I would imagine that they will have to reassess that amount again. Last month the company raised the money it had reserved for the lawsuit from $100 million to $360 million. This cut its first-quarter results down by 4%.

"This court has done a great injustice to the employees and shareholders of Morgan Stanley," said Morgan Stanley CEO Phil Purcell. "We will fight to have this decision overturned, and we fully expect to prevail. Morgan Stanley is financially strong and this latest development, while disappointing, will not impede our ability to serve our clients and grow our business."

It seems that a storm cloud is just following Mr. Purcell. He already has a group of the company's shareholders at his throat and fighting to get him out of the company. When it rains it pours.

Have Anyone seen this Guy??

I came across this ad when I was in Manhattan. I reckon that he must be someone missing from the S.W.A.T. team.

Up Close with Jerry Seinfield

I was with Jerry Seinfield on the same elevator coming down to ground floor. His office is jus above mind. It�s so bizarre.

He dressed casually,wearing a black polo tee, light brown khakis pants, grey nylon jacket n a bicycle helmet when I saw him. I was thinking to myself, this guy looks like Jerry Seinfield, but I gave up the thought coz he dressed like a typical messenger guy n how could a millionaire be riding a bicycle to work.

I went on the Carnegie Hall next to our office building coz they are having this CBS All Star event. The whole SURVIVOR crew is there n the place is all packed up. I tried to get in only to realize that u need a ticket to do so. The worse thing is I din bring my digital cam wit me. Argggrrrrr�.or else I could have sneak to the back door n get a few snaps to satisfy my blog.

Ok, I din get in. Nevermind, get back to work. The doubts keep hunting me that the �messenger� I saw is jus not �the everyday pple�. So I came back to the office and ask if anyone like the comedy show �The Seinfield�. Then my colleague Tracy said �Oh, he�s in this building. He�s just 1 floor above us, 55th floor. He came in with his bike sometimes�.

Tell u what, I was completely stunt. Come on, this is a guy that I have been watching on TV for all these years. I will definitely get his pic next time, now that I know he�s under the same building.

It�s good to work in Carnegie Tower, one of New York most prestigious Corporate Building( equivalent to KLCC, Malaysia). We can oversee the whole central park from our meeting room. How cool is that.

Ok, let me describe him as the �real� him. He looks better than he�s on TV. No doubt. He taller n well built compare to the TV him. He�s actually quite good looking. I reckon him through his nose, mouth n jaw(lower part of his face). That�s his trademark.

Is good to know that u with someone that�s so famous. He�s the next best comedians besides RAY Romano. I�ll definitely see him again.

Ok. Might hang around the Carnegie Hall after work. Hope to catch a glimpse of the survivor crew. Wish me luck!!

Get Well Soon KYLIE

It�s weird sad feeling I got this morning after reading that Kylie Minogue is diagnosed wit breast cancer. I�m personally not a huge fan of her, but somewhat hearing that she�s in pain just sink my heart.

A young woman, Kylie Minogue, any young woman of that age to be diagnosed with that condition � it does send a shudder through you.

I came to knew this singer when I was studying in Australia 3 years back. Her song �Can�t Get U Out of My Mind� was a hit on all the radio station all over Australia. It really stuck like a tumor in my brain. Everywhere u went, like it or not, u r going to hear the song playing. Was really sick of that song.

But I got nothing to hold against her. She definitely earn her way to all the fans out there n mind u its not easy to be a chart topper for 6 weeks in a row. She�s an Australian Icon.

Let�s pray n hope that she�ll stay strong and get well soon.

Something From Prime Minister John:

"I think all Australians feel for her and wish her well and hope that it has been detected in the very early stages and she will make a full recovery."

CellPhones - The Silent Killer

Cell Phones in Rural Areas More Likely to Cause Cancer

This is scary!! I don�t wan to use cell phone no more. Don�t wan to get cancer. Luckily I got a Motorola V300 that comes wit a speakerphone and a hands free set. For the rest of u, u might want to invest on a hands free set b4 your brain start growing mushroom.

The risk of brain tumors among cell phone users in rural areas is much higher than in cities, according to a Swedish study released this week.

Headed by Professor Lennart Hardell of the University Hospital in Orebro, the study found that residents of rural areas who used mobile digital phones for more than three years were over three times as likely to be diagnosed with a brain tumor as those living in urban areas.

"The stronger the signal, the higher the risk," he said.The chance of getting a brain tumor, which can lead to cancer, is quadrupled if cell phones were used for more than five years.

Pills to Keep U Sober..

Kudzu pills restrict urge to binge drink in experiment



Previously I posted an article about vaccine that helps smokers to kick their habit, now I�ll tell u what this magic pills that those Homer Simpson look alike should be taking.(Who cares!! We love our beers). Here�s the article:

A group of twenty something drinkers seemed to lose the urge to binge drink when they took pills made from kudzu, that ubiquitous vine that blankets the South, researchers reported.
The finding might one day lead to a way to attack the binge-drinking problem.(beers solve all problems..hehe)

Researcher Scott Lukas, with Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital, had no trouble finding volunteers for the study, which required them to hang out in an "apartment," complete with TV, recliner and fridge stocked with beer. This apartment-style laboratory was set up in the hospital, and the volunteers were told to spend a 90-minute session drinking beer and watching TV.( I�ll be most happy to be a volunteer. What can be better than hanging out and having lotsa free flows of beers)

Those who took kudzu pills drank an average of 1.8 beers per session, compared with the 3.5 beers consumed by those who took a placebo.(Don need the pills, just give me another 6 packs will be fine)

Lukas was not certain why but speculated that kudzu increases blood-alcohol levels and speeds up its effects. In other words, the drinkers needed fewer beers to feel drunk. (fewer beers to get drunk?? How can we survive the hours long Yankees game)

"That rapid infusion of alcohol is satisfying them and taking away their desire for more drinks," Lukas said. "That's only a theory. It's the best we've got so far."(Protest!! Protest!! Give us more beer!! We have the freedom to drink!! To all the classic drinkers out there. CHEERS!!)

Nazi Strikes Back!!

Worm spreads neo-Nazi spam in two languages

Beware all you surfers out there a new twist on a computer worm is spewing neo-Nazi-tinged spam in English and German into inboxes.

The content: Most of the messages contain links to news stories with content that �smells of right-wing political rhetoric,� said Vincent Gullotto, vice president of McAfee Inc.�s anti-virus emergency response team. A small percentage contain links to a Web site that tries to infect visiting machines with the worm.

The message: One carried a German subject line �60 Years of Freedom: Who�s Celebrating?� referencing the end of World War II. Another read: �Honorable Action� and contained a link to the Web site of the NPD, Germany�s right-wing nationalist political party.

Where it came from: The e-mails were sent from computers infected with the Sober worm, which first showed up in 2003. The main purpose of this version seems to be to spread information rather than harm, Gullotto said.

It's Microsoft Against The WWW

MSN's latest Search Toolbar for Internet Explorer (IE) has been finalized and renamed as MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search, a moniker designed to show customers that the software giant is ready to play hardball in what is seen as a crucial new market.

By offering the most integrated desktop search capabilities for Windows, now people can search their PC as fast as they can search the Web. The new MSN Search Toolbar makes it easy for customers to find precisely what they're looking for, no matter where it resides.

Even during the beta, the MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search was nicely done, but the release version adds a few niceties that put it over the top. First, Setup now offers a variety of great options, letting you pick which toolbars you want installed. Available toolbars, which act as entry points to the search functionality, include the Deskbar, which sits in the Windows Taskbar; the Search Toolbar for Outlook; the Search Toolbar for Windows Explorer; and the Search Toolbar for IE.

You can configure which folders get indexed, which document types are indexed, and even where the search results index is stored if you'd like. Most astonishingly, you can specify a non-MSN search engine for Web searches. So if you want to use this tool but prefer Google for Web searches, you're good to go.

Performance has also been improved somewhat dramatically. Windows Desktop Search now performs an initial index of your hard drive much more quickly and then consumes fewer resources while running.MSN Search Toolbar with Windows Desktop Search will run on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and is free.

Wall ST Top News: Morgan Stanley on FIRE

Morgan Stanley was suit for $604 million in damages to investor Perelman. Wow, that really drain them down man. The 604 million highly upped the initial amount of $360 million it set aside to cover all law suit. Morgan Stanley will have to review their reserve in order to pay for the damages. Morgan Stanley continue to down 70 cents today on May 17 2005 11.45am.



Here�s an article taken from The Street:

Morgan Stanley (MWD:NYSE - commentary - research) will reassess its legal reserves after losing a huge jury verdict to billionaire Ron Perelman in a fraud suit.

A Florida state jury on Monday ordered Morgan Stanley to pay $604 million in damages to Perelman in a dispute stemming from the collapse of Sunbeam, the small appliance manufacturer.

The investment bank recently upped the amount of money it set aside to cover the trial to $360 million. In a regulatory filing Tuesday, Morgan Stanley said it would reassess the provision in light of the verdict, which it intends to appeal.

"The verdict, while disappointing, is not surprising, given the unprecedented and highly prejudicial rulings imposed by the trial judge," the company said in a statement Monday. "Morgan Stanley was not permitted to defend itself on the merits. As a result, the jury heard allegations, instead of true facts, and Morgan Stanley was denied a fair trial."

The jury will now mull possible punitive damages in the case, but legal experts still believe the suit will be resolved in a negotiated settlement. In fact, settlement talks had been ongoing, even as the jury was deliberating. The verdict strengthens Perelman's hand.

Shares of Morgan Stanley were recently down 40 cents, or 0.8%, to $48.40 in premarket trading Tuesay.

Lawyers for Perelman issued a statement saying they "believe that the decision sends a very clear message that those who aid a fraud will be held accountable."
The verdict is another blow to Morgan Stanley, which has seen its image sullied by a highly publicized dispute with a group of former investment bankers over the investment firm's stewardship.

The jury, sitting in a courtroom in West Palm Beach, Fla., found that Morgan Stanley misled Perelman about Sunbeam's financial health when it advised him to sell his majority stake in Coleman to Sunbeam. When Sunbeam's stock collapsed in a late-1990s accounting scandal, Perelman's 14 million shares of the company's stock became worthless.

Perelman, who is married to the actress Ellen Barkin, is best-known for being chairman of the cosmetics company Revlon (REV:NYSE - commentary - research). Sunbeam is now part of Jarden (JAH:NYSE - commentary - research), a consumer products company.

It appeared unlikely Morgan Stanley would prevail in the case after the trial judge issued a critical ruling against the firm. The judge, in an unusual ruling, instructed the jury to assume that Morgan Stanley had defrauded Perelman, after it was discovered the firm had violated a court order to turn over documents that might have been relevant to the case.

Stop Killing Yourself

Its about time to put an end to smoking and the time, energy, productivity, etc that are lost; every life�s it leaves behind along with the pure waste it creates.Not long ago smoking was deeply engrained into culture as being cool as history recounts. My only hope is to see cigarettes in the history books and off the market.



Anti-nicotine vaccine could help smokers: researchers

Florida, May 15 (AFX) - An experimental anti-nicotine vaccine has shown encouraging results in helping smokers kick the habit, according to a study presented to a major conference of cancer specialists here.

Almost 60 percent of the 341 smokers who took the vaccine stopped smoking for at least six months, said Jacques Cornuz, a Swiss researcher who led the vaccine study. Cornuz, of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois in Lausanne, Switzerland, said about a third of those who developed lower levels of antibodies stopped smoking, about the same fraction as those who received a placebo vaccine.

The vaccine, developed by Cytos Biotechnology of Zurich, is based on a bacteriophage virus which attacks bacteria. The bacteriophage in the vaccine neutralises the nicotine before it can stimulate the brain, according to Cornuz. Cytos Biotechnology now hopes to carry out more widespread medical studies to show the vaccine is safe and hopes to bring it on the market around 2010.

A Socer Game that turns SOUR

2 weeks ago, our church was doing a kid�s carnival to promote it�s summer camp that is going to be held in June. I was volunteering for the kid�s game.

After some thought I came out with a soccer game. I got myself a soccer ball (borrowed from Anson), a milk crate and 4 orange color cons and had Kel draw me a huge goalkeeper pasted behind the goal. He�s an artist, he drew the whole thing in 5 mins!

To win the game, the kids will have to score a goal which is relatively easy. Wat to do, they r kids mar n we r suppose to make them happy. Haha�

The carnival finish at about 5PM. After we wrap up everything n clean up the place. Teng! Teng! Teng! It�s our time to have fun. Its adults carnival now! We had soccer game. Everyone is really into it, as if we are playing for Champion league.

30 min later, the score 1-2. Then suddenly, the ball shoot high into the air into �somebody� backyard n the worse thing is that there�s nobody around that house. Who�s that Mr.Beckham? He�s our pastor Benny wit his lousy banana kick.

He confessed that he haven�t been playing soccer for the past 3 years thus he was too excited that he kick the ball as if he was kicking an American football up high over the goal post.

I was told to go n get the ball coz he�s to fat to climb over the fence. He got me a ladder n wit my monkey skill. We manage to secure the ball.

The game went on as usual. 5 min left, the score: 4-4. The balls beautifully roll near to me. Thinking to myself, this was my last chance, come on! Score that goal, u need it. I rush over a kick it hard. The ball flew up high n landed in �somebody� rooftop. Haha�

This time a ladder wont be able to do the job. We need a �spiderman�. Our drummer came to our help. After some planning n looking around. He starts to climb up the roof wit the help from Pastor Benny. Me? I was down there taking pics lor�haha

At last we got the ball back n we decided to call it a day. We had a DRAW game. We r planning for more soccer games to come but the next time will not be held at the church car park. It�s not good to be caught in �somebody� backyard or rooftop n be charge as an intruder or trespassing.

Lesson of the day: don�t start a soccer game in the church car park. If u really had to, choose a bigger car park at somebody else church..hehe..

Here are some pic of Kel the �Spiderman� rescuing the ball:


1)Pastor Ben helping Kel up to the roof.


2)Kel posing around b4 he execute his mission on Mars (soli, i mean roof)



3) The man got his ball saved!!


4) Final Post. The roof is on fire.

XBOX Vs PLAYSTATION

Xbox 360 Projected To Outpace Playstation

Though game console junkies will be hovering around the Electronic Entertainment Expo in L.A. this week to get a glimpse of Sony's Playstation 3, Jupiter research projects that Microsoft's new gaming baby, Xbox 360 will be in the lead by 2010.

Playstation 2, Sony's previous offering, is currently the top gaming console, controlling 43% of the worldwide market. Xbox commands half of that audience with 19%. But that may change over the next five years, according to Jupiter research.

Xbox 360, marketed as an entertainment hub and recently previewed on an MTV special, is expected to up its market share to 38% while Sony is expected to slip to 32%. The new Xbox features three 3.2-gigahertz IBM microprocessors that can play DVDs, streaming pictures, music and video from digital cameras, portable music players and computers running Microsoft Windows XP.

It also allows real-time chat, removable 20-gigabyte hard drive, a custom graphics chip and built-in wireless multiplayer access capabilities. The new console can display in wide-screen high-definition format and in standard format.

Tom Westman Wins 'Survivor: Palau'

Watched the survivor season finale:Pulau 2 hour special las nite. Not a bad reality show so far. it sgd to see the hardcore firefigther of brooklyn rise up as the sole survivor. this man won with dignity n being the real 'him'. Heres the posting from CBS Channel:

At 41, New York City firefighter Tom Westman scorched his competition on "Survivor: Palau" to become the oldest winner of the competitive reality show.

"I played with intensity," the gray-haired Westman told The Associated Press in an interview following his win Sunday at the Ed Sullivan Theater. "I didn't hold back and fly under the radar. I thought I might be able to do that, but they got the real Tom Westman out there."

In a season of "Survivor" firsts, Westman stuck to his day-one alliance with dolphin trainer Ian Rosenberger and advertising executive Katie Gallagher and led the Koror tribe to win every immunity challenge, a feat that's never happened in the past nine seasons of "Survivor."

"Somebody told me recently they stopped coloring their hair after I did so well on the challenges," Westman joked.

Westman, a father of three who lives in Sayville, N.Y., made no secret of his prowess, winning seven individual immunity challenges and staying out of hot water when it came time for players to vote each other off the island. He never received a vote against him.

"When I saw how young the cast was, I thought, `This is gonna be perfect,'" Westman told the AP. "They're not going to know I'm a physical threat until it's too late for them. I didn't get to play that game. I played it hard. I played it as myself. While some people think that may not be too bright strategically, it did work out for me."
Westman is now $1 million richer and the owner of a new car. He said he plans to use the money toward college for his children and fixing up his house.

"I'm going to take care of my family," he said. "We've now got that cushion that most middle-class families don't have. Everything is going to be a little easier, a little sweeter".

The 10th edition of CBS' "Survivor," set in the Pacific island nation of Palau, includes these 20 castaways, shown in this undated photo from CBS, who will try to outwit, outplay and outlast each other to win the $1 million prize.

Bottom row, from left; Wanda Shirk, Williard Smith, Katie Gallagher, Caryn Groedel, Jeff Wilson and Jennifer Lyon.(AP Photo,CBS, Monty Brinton)

The finale wasn't sweet for the three losers. Nanny Jenn Lyon lost during a tiebreaker challenge after Westman learned Rosenberger planned to double-cross him. Then, Rosenberger gave up during the final endurance immunity challenge, insisting Westman take Gallagher to the final two in a show of respect. During the final tribal council, runner-up Gallagher was called "mean" and "lazy."

Following Westman's win, host Jeff Probst announced the next location and title for the eleventh edition of the reality show: "Survivor: Guatemala The Maya Empire." Probst said the latest batch of survivors will live among Mayan ruins.
