free yahoo calendar schedule appointments reminders via cell phone text instant message notification easy to use

I’ve been using yahoo email for a great while, I guess ever since yahoo went public. In additional I’ve also been using Yahoo Calendar as well, over years yahoo improves its services such as Yahoo email plus and also enhanced its calendar. What I use yahoo calendar are, schedule certain task to occur at certain time and date and send me a text message or IM chat message or email notification, on cell phone text sms mms instant message. It’s pretty cool, kind of remind me what to do and so on. Now a day many people have many things to do running errands and stuff, with technology mayb people saids it’s making us lazier I have to disagree with that, most people like, have many things to do, many things to remember, so this tool help me greatly to schedule meeting, pay bills, reminders of certain tasks, and so on. I don’t believe it’s currently encrypted, but none of mine stuff are confidential anyways. If you want secure, you can try google gmail it also has calendar and probably better one faster, but I got use to yahoo already and haven’t been able to find a reason to move to gmail google calendar yet 🙂 Remember to use comment sense when accessing your account, always type in the browser gmail.com or mail.yahoo.com to access your account, don’t click on bookmark or links notify via email or something … be safe!

spring time march 2012 insects chirping lovely sound annoying later get rid of it

Not everywhere get four seasons weather like where I live. As I completed the dinner routine, as the kids went taking shower and ready for bead, everything quiet, I can hear the insect outside the front yard and back yard start chirping. The chirping reminds me springs is around the corner and summer following. The awesome wonderful spring weather, where the trees start to grows leafs again and so does the grass. Hopefully this year 2012 summer won’t be hot, we didn’t get much snow, so might be in for a drought because wells water not not gonna be enough so municipal water from outside county need to bring in, thus causing the price to go higher. I’m not sure if I want to build a rain water collectors yet, will be worth and will I have the time to put it together? I have quite a few things to do. Need prioritize. Anyhow, back to the topic, most insect are harmless and very helpful, some can be a pest and annoying. Here where I live, there are all kinds of insects so I have to be real careful not letting any of them inside the house. Occasionally I saw some stink bugs in the house especially on the windows frame, I don’t know how it managed to crawl in.

How to Train your Dragon 2 Brain vs. Muscle who will win?

brain is better than muscular muscle good looking person
brain is better than muscular muscle good looking person

There’s a movie that my daughters watch all the time, it’s another of their favorite movies or they just have kids movies that they want to watch all the time, the title of the movie is “How to train your dragon” or is it “how to train a dragon”, by the way version 2 is coming out “How to train your dragon 2”. As I watch it over and over again with my kids, it’s not that I want to, but I have no choice to watch it with them, missing some parts here and there, but I kind of pick up one thing from this movie. The little boy for sure as a character very skinny and small, compare to his father and the rest the  Viking villagers. It turns out that the boy uses his clever brain to work with one of the most dangerous dragon and be a team instead of killing it. The village has dragon problems and the people are trying to kill all the dragons as it invaded the village. What I notice is the muscular people there doesn’t use their brain much, they just use their physical strength to defeat the dragon. The little thin skinny boy was able to spent enough time with one of the dangerous dragon and learned quite a few things that he uses during the dragon killing training, he doesn’t kill the dragon, he defeated the dragon by various methods that he had learned. So as a result, if a person want to succeed in life, you don’t have to be muscular strong and good looking, you just need a brain and the will to learn anything, I wouldn’t say learn anything, but just say certain things that can help, that can applied for whatever situation currently happening or will happen.

Reinstall Windows XP on any old or current compatible laptop or computers drivers

all hardware firmware bios windows drivers auto search download and install instantly
all hardware firmware bios windows drivers auto search download and install instantly

Lost recovery software CD DVD? don’t know the drivers to use? wasting too much time looking for correct drivers for your laptop desktop PC? Windows? Well. You’re not a lone 🙂 hehehe. Here are my personal tips on getting any old or even new laptop or desktop pc computers reinstalled with windows XP fast and all drivers updated. First simply install OEM Windows XP, and most drivers will not be installed. After installing your windows xp os, check to see if your network card is installed? if not install network card and ensure you can get on into the insternet using network cable rj45 wire (not WIFI). Second, download Driver Genius or driver detective or similar, what these software does is look for the missing drivers for your computer, – download it – and install it for you. To secure a computer from hackers, viruses, malwares, adwares, ddos attack ect … – Install Malwarebytes, and another anti virus software such as Norton Symantec or mcafee whatever you can afford or find.I work on a lot of computers and laptop. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of ebay buy used or broken laptop and do a quick turn around few bucks profit, the profit isn’t much, but it’s fun for me, keeping my mind sharp. It’s not really all about the profit, the way I look at it is old laptop computers still working but company people throwing them away, why not fix it up and use it for internet, now a day many applications are web-base, so as long as you have a computer that can connect to the internet and a secure browser that work smoothly, that is all most people need, such as paying bills, check credit card bank account balance, email, news, research … and so on.

It’s quite simple actually. I bought a package of Char Siu (xa xiu, sa xiu, xa siu) from a Vietnamese or Chinese Asian store they all have it, then add 1/2 cup of warm water, let it sit aside, then cut the pork meat in 1-2 inches slice, and marinade for an hour, then preheat your oven or char coal or gas grill to 150 degree then grill it for an hour, use a pan of water put it inside the grill to get the moisture into the meat or keep it moist other wise it will be dried :), well that’s my way of cooking. The direction is also on the the Char Xiu ingredient package. It’s kind of sweet, if you don’t like too sweet, add a little bit of fish sauce during marinading. There are many ways to eat Char Siu with, see below pictures various ways preparation. For me I love Sa Siu with Quang Thanh or so call Won-Ton noodle soup, um yummy. I’m making this today 🙂

My kids loves musical movies such as Happy Feet 1 and 2 and other Disney movies

all disney characters collage musical movies happy feet 2 download watch
all disney characters collage musical movies happy feet 2 download watch

I think it’s typical that most kids loves to watch musical movies, and I’m talking about the cartoon version musical movies where the cartoon characters sings, especially the one from Disney and Pixar, such as Happy Feet 1 and 2, Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella 1, 2, and 3. I personal think it’s great as well, but at my age I’m into action thriller adventures. My daughters has a few movies that they want to watch over and over again for like a hundreds of time and sometime they remember the wording word by word, it’s funny, they either they repeat it or even say it before the characters even began to speak, in addition if I sit next to them they will tell me what will happen next lol. Now a day, I use a HDMI laptop which I win from ebay auction for about $100 used, and plug it into the TV via HDMI and let them watch many movies stored in the hard drive.

Vietnamese Pho noodle soup is everywhere and it’s good all year round

vietnamese pho beef noodle soup the best
vietnamese pho beef noodle soup the best

Now a day when we go to any Vietnamese restaurant, chances are, they have Pho noodle soup. Pho is one of the best soup there are for the Vietnamese community. Some restaurant does cook it much better than others, some cook with natural ingredient, some with pre-made ingredient, kind of difficult to tell the different, some even say adding a little bit of MSG will make it taste better, hmm maybe that’s the secret ingredient , but too much MSG not good for one’s health, so stay away from too much MSG, a little bit MSG is fine. For me cooking home Pho especially at home, never taste the same as the restaurant, 1st I live in the East Coast and don’t have all the herb vegetable including the bean sprout readily available, so even if I cook the soup good and has the meat ball and beef but missing those herb vegie doesn’t make it taste as good. The best I at are Pho Ha and Pho Hoa in Philadelphia PA, those are good and closest to me, 45-60mins drive, worth the drive but hec the parking is crazy, like new york, you could be going around in a circle for 30mins without finding a parking space on a weekend.

time change + 1 hour ahead forward sunday march 11th 2012
time change + 1 hour ahead forward sunday march 11th 2012

We’re loosing one hour, tonight when the clock hit 12AM, it’s actually 1AM. This time change by one hour can have initial impact, oh can’t wake up, your body doesn’t feel like it, but eventually you will get used to it. I think we get like two time change per year, one hour forward, one hour back. Many people doesn’t know this time change at all or change it wrong, it is one hour forward, 1AM to 2AM. If your latest electronics devices such as a cell phone laptop computer TV and so on, most will change automatically depend on your time zone settings and if it has day light saving time change enable to change automatically, which it should for all new technology, and you set it up correctly. To verify, you can call the 767 # I think, or you visit http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ to just watch TV or news channel it will tell you the time or your scheduled program on the right time.

a person that never sleep for years Vietnamese
a person that never sleep for years Vietnamese

It’s insomniac. Most people have this and will stay away for days. Typical human being required sleep 6hours a night at least and sometime rest or nap during the day. However this man, haven’t been sleeping for over 40 years? How do we know if it’s true? well I did some research and found different sources such as wikipedia and the local news in Vietnam interviewed him and published many related articles, it was due to insomnia that cause a person to cannot sleep, but some article indicate a person will died after 9 days if he/she cannot sleep, but this man over 40 years, that’s a lot. Well the last article I read about this person, it indicated that “In October 2006, however, Ngoc reported that he was beginning to feel “like a plantwithout water” due to the lack of sleep.”
