Mr. Smith goes to the doctor's office to get his
wife's test results.
The lab technician says to him, "I'm very sorry, sir,
but we've had
a bit of a problem. At the same time we sent your
wife's samples to the lab,
the lab also received samples from another Mrs.
Smith, and now we're not sure
which results are your wife's. But, frankly, it's
either bad news or
terrible news!" "What do you mean?" said Mr. Smith.
"Well, one Mrs. Smith tested positive for
Alzheimer's, and the other Mrs. Smith has
tested positive for AIDS. And we can't tell which is
your wife's test."
"This is terrible!" cries Mr. Smith. "Can't we do the
test over?"
"Normally, yes," says the technician, "but you have
Blue Cross Health
Care, and they won't pay for these expensive tests
more than once."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?" said Mr. Smith.
"Blue Cross recommends that you drop your wife off in
the middle of town.
If she finds her way home, don't sleep with her."

FYI
This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA &
Mastercard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better
prepared to protect yourself.
These con artists get more creative every day.
My husband was called on Wednesday from "VISA", and I was called on
Thursday from "MasterCard." The scam works like this:
Person calling says, "this is , and I'm calling from the Security
and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460. Your card
has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to
verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by bank.
Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a
marketing company based in Arizona?"
When you say "No", the caller continues with,Then we will be issuing
a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching
and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500
purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement,
the credit will be sent to(gives you your address), is that
correct?"
You say "yes." The caller continues... "I will be starting a Fraud
investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1-800
number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for
Security. You will need to refer to this Control #"
The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. "Do you need me to read
it again?"
Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works.
The caller then says, "He needs to verify you are in possession
of your card."
He'll ask you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers.
There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are your card number, the next 3
are the 'Security Numbers' that verify you are in possession of the
card. These are the numbers you use to make Internet purchases to
prove you have the card. Read me the 3 numbers."
After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say ,"That is
correct. I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost
or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other
questions?"
After you say No, the caller then Thanks you and states, "Don't
hesitate to call back if you do," and hangs up.
You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the
card number. But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back
within 20 minutes to ask a question. Are we glad we did! The REAL
VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the last
15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charge on our card.
Long story made short, we made a real fraud report and closed
the VISA card, and they are reissuing us a new number. What the
scammers wants is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card.
Don't give it to them. Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or Master
card direct. The real VISA told us that they will never ask for
anything on the card as they already know the information since
they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN
Number, you think you're receiving a credit. However, by the time
you get your statement, you'll see charges for purchases you didn't
make, and by then it's almost to late and/or harder to actually file
a fraud report.
What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday,
I got a call from a "Jason Richardson of MasterCard" with
a word-for-word repeat of the VISA scam. This time I didn't let him
finish. I hung up! We filed a police report, as instructed by VISA.
The police said they are taking several of these reports daily! They
also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening.
Please pass this on to all your friends. By informing each other, we
protect each other. Thank-You.

New diseases
SARS is not our only worry. The Ministry of Health is now asking the public to be on the lookout for symptoms of the following new contagious diseases -
Assma - Severe rashes around the mouth caused by kissing too much a$$, the No. 1 disease in Malaysia. Civil servants are unusually at risk.
Dialarrhoea - Uncontrollable urge to continually dial friends on mobile phone to share with them such important information as "I'm now on the LRT" or "I'm walking towards the car." Victims can be recognised by large, twitching thumb.
Meesles - Blotchy skin condition caused by eating too many packets of instant noodles.
Multiple Spousosis - Affliction whereby victims make frequent trips to Thailand, Indonesia, and China to take on additional brides. Middle-aged men are at significant risk.
Yellow Fever - Compulsion to date Asian females. Very common affliction amongst foreign talent/expatriates working in Malaysia. Also known as Pinkerton's Disease.
Totonus - Flushed complexion, high blood pressure and sometimes depression at finding out one has not touched lottery.
Heavytitis - Excessively large breasts. This disease comes in several variant strains: Heavytitis A, Heavytitis B, Heavytitis C and sometimes Heavytitis DD.
Cybertension - Feelings of stress and panic caused by lack of internet access.
Dyebetes - A compulsive need to colour one's hair. Reddish brown tints are the most common symptom, but health authorities have reported a new strain of blond highlights.
Chicken Tox - Victims exhibit a great need to talk c*ck. Incurable and highly contagious. Spread by ordinary conversation, and may be exacerbated by good food and alcohol. Politicians and lawyers are especially susceptible. Incurable.

Is it the one that I pass to you for adoption? If so, most likely still under impression that it's in my small tank and can't get use to your huge tank now.
nope. bro rotala is rite. They shed their skin pretty often. Then after shedding they opened up nicely.
For feeding I used henry mix & let the current push the particles to them & other corals. Once a while target feed with phyto powder.

For Daeil, try the planted tank shop beside the Boon Keng MRT. It's @ a corner of the ground floor of the HDB behind the MRT stn. They seems to be a distro of the chiller.

I have heard of Cured Live Rocks, what does that mean?
1. It has Red and Purple color?
usually
2. It is free from Crabs and Worms?
Not really
3. It is free from Alage?
red & purple are considered algae as well
If I have used a high Salnity (I mean very high, above the reflectometer can measured) to chase the crabs and worms out, does it killed my live rocks? Will my LR revive?
liverocks does not died from dis treatment.
