Windows XP Speed Guide
DISABLE INDEXING SERVICES

Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:
1. Go to Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs
5. Click the Add/Remove Window Components
6. Uncheck the Indexing services
7. Click Next
DISABLE UNNECESSARY SERVICES
Because Windows XP has to be all things to all people it has many services running that take up system resources that you will never need. Below is a list of services that can be disabled on most machines:
Alerter
Clipbook
Computer Browser
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Fast User Switching
Help and Support - (If you use Windows Help and Support leave this enabled)
Human Interface Access Devices
Indexing Service
IPSEC Services
Messenger
Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)
Portable Media Serial Number
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)
Remote Procedure Call Locator
Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)
Remote Registry Service
Secondary Logon
Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security)
Server
SSDP Discovery Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Upload Manager
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Windows Time
Wireless Zero Configuration (Do not disable if you use a wireless network)
Workstation
To disable these services:
Go to Start and then Run and type “services.msc”
Double click on the service you want to change
Change the startup type to ‘Disable”
IMPROVE BOOT TIMES
A great new feature in Mcft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option in enables but on some builds it is not so below is how to turn it on.
Go to Start Menu and Click Run
Type in “Regedit” then click ok
Find “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\M icrosoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction”
Select “Enable” from the list on the right
Right on it and select “Modify”
Change the value to “Y to enable”
Reboot
IMPROVE SWAPFILE PERFORMANCE
If you have more than 256MB of RAM this tweak will considerably improve your performance. It basically makes sure that your PC uses every last drop of memory (faster than swap file) before it starts using the swap file.
Go to Start then Run
Type “msconfig.exe” then ok
Click on the System.ini tab
Expand the 386enh tab by clicking on the plus sign
Click on new then in the blank box type”ConservativeSwapfileUsage =1″
Click OK
Restart PC

Anwar vs Shabery Cheek Debate 2008

2008-07-17T23:03:00.004+08:00

Part 1

Part 2

In my verdict towards this debate. Anwar have pointed out good and realistic points to push down the petrol prices while Shabery is touching too much on the politic side. Isn't this a debate on petrol? Why involve historical politics and hit Anwar?

Another brick in the wall - korn

2008-07-09T23:04:00.001+08:00

This song is originated by Pink Floyd. A pure classic just love the lyrics. It does make some sense in certain ways.

'We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.'

Nothing but the truth hard facts from Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

2008-07-04T07:40:00.000+08:00

1. The Malaysian Government appears not to be perturbed by what is happening in the world.

2. It appears to be convinced that it can isolate and insulate itself from whatever is happening to the world.

3. It seems to be confident that it will be left untouched.

4. It merely reacts to situations as they arise one by one.

5. The mainstream media hardly ever mention the turmoil that the world is facing. Certainly no in-depth analysis has been made. Only Malaysian Business has asked whether we are prepared for the worldwide catastrophe that must bring chaos and problems to our economy, finance, politics and social life. The rest seemed blithely unconcerned. Certainly the people are not being prepared for the inevitable.

6. We are admittedly more fortunate than many other countries. When costs are rising and manufactured exports are shrinking, our commodities have come to our aid. Our export earnings from petroleum and gas, palm oil, rubber and tin have increased many times over.

7. The rise in the price of petrol and products has begun to affect our lives, our living standards and our complacency.

8. We produce about 650,000 barrels a day, consume 400,000 and export roughly 250,000 barrels. We used to earn 30 US Dollar per barrel; today we earn 140 US Dollar, almost all profit. Work out the revenue from 250,000 barrels per day for one year.

9. Besides, we produce 900,000 barrels equivalent of gas, mostly exported. There is no need to take notice of the petrol we produce in Sudan and elsewhere, all selling at 100 US Dollar plus.

10. But we also earn more, much more from palm oil. It used to cost us RM600 per ton to produce. It must be slightly more now. But one ton of palm oil used to sell for RM800 before. Now it sells for more than RM3,000. The palm oil plantation companies are laughing all the way to the bank.

11. But the prices of rubber and even tin have also increased tremendously.

12. For the Government it must mean a great increase in revenue. The profits from petroleum accrue 100% to the Government. I believe in 2006 when oil price was about 70 US Dollar Petronas made a profit before tax of 60 billion Ringgit.

13. Whereas the tax on corporate incomes of the manufacturing companies is minimal, corporate tax revenue from companies producing and exporting palm oil, rubber and tin is very high. If we care to look at the profits of companies today many make well over a billion a year, some more than three billion.

14. So the Government should be flushed with money. But companies not involved in the production of raw material cannot be doing so well. Their imported raw materials including oil and components have all increased in price. They have to increase their export and domestic prices but profits may be less.

15. The construction companies have few contracts to share among themselves. The big Government projects have not materialised. The sub-contractors and building material suppliers are not doing well either.

16. The big construction companies have gone abroad. Some are doing quite well but they cannot help Malaysian subcontractors as the local subcontractors are entitled to get the contracts.

17. Malaysian investors are also not investing in the country. They have a good choice for making money investing in such countries as China and Vietnam. They will pay taxes in these countries.

18. In the meantime the world is undergoing a traumatic economic and financial turmoil. It began with the devaluation of the US Dollar. I do not know how much US Dollar bonds are held by Malaysia. I remember telling the Governor of Bank Negara to reduce our dollar holdings before I stepped down. I hope she has done so. Otherwise we would lose 80 Malaysian sen for every US Dollar we hold. When we hold 30 or 40 billion US Dollar the loss can be considerable.

19. We may make some money from the other currencies which have appreciated against our Ringgit.

20. The US Dollar is going to go down further due to unwise playing around with money. Sub-prime lending was considered profitable before but now the market has collapsed. The loan papers had been readily bought by institutions but now the papers are worthless because no one wants to buy them. And the borrowers are not paying simply because they have no money.

21. The US which condemned us so righteously for bailing out companies now approves massive bailouts by Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank. These are not small amounts. They are talking about US200 - US400 billion dollars.

22. Bear Stearns sale is a classic case but other banks are faring no better. They will have to sell at fire-sale prices like the banks of Southeast Asia had to do after currency traders bankrupted these banks. A taste of their own medicine should have a salutary effect on the arrogance of the big money people, and their countries.

23. The financial problems of the United States have spilled over to the European countries. They too had been involved in sub-prime lending, either directly or indirectly.

24. The US dollar is going to shrink further as countries unload their dollar holdings, refuse to buy US Dollar bonds, and use other currencies for trading. Oil producers may demand to be paid in their own currencies. The international financial regime will then collapse.

25. The US Dollar is not backed by anything. It sustains its value because it is used as a trading currency. When countries start using other currencies for trading and quickly dispose off the US Dollar in favour of Euro or Yen; when the US Dollar is no longer used for the reserves of the rich countries, then the US Dollar will not be worth the paper on which it is printed.

26. The United States already suffers from twin deficits. When the dollar becomes useless the United States will go into deep recession. Printing more money by the Federal Reserve Bank (which incidentally is not owned by the Government but by other banks) will only result in its devaluation and inflation in the United States.

27. The United States must surely go into severe recession (I am sure the United States will do something illegal in order to prevent this from happening). But whatever, United States recession will affect the whole world.

28. Unprecedentedly the world is experiencing food shortages, something which it had not seen for decades.

29. I will not say anything about the world as everyone knows and I know I am not an economist or a financial expert. But I will try and guess what would happen to Malaysia.

30. Twenty percent of our export goes to the United States. Obviously this market would not be able to absorb what we have to sell to them. We will not lose all but quite a substantial sum will be lost.

31. The economies of the developed countries will also suffer, maybe less than the United States. But our export to them would shrink also.

32. With the money form our petroleum export and revenue from other raw materials we had been able to subsidise for some time. But the prices of fuel and other goods will all increase far beyond the percentage of the increase in oil prices after the subsidy was withdrawn. This is aggravated by the actual increase in prices of foodstuff and food grains, building materials, and assorted imported goods. Even the items produced within the country will increase in price because of imported contents.

33. But the Government is still talking about 5%-7% inflation. This is quite meaningless to lower and middle-income people who must pay 40% more for petrol and 100% more for rice. Other necessities too have increased in price by well over 5%-7%. Stopping price control in the belief that the market will determine prices is imprudent.

34. One of the reasons why Malaysia's inflation rates had remained low compared to other developing countries and even some developed countries is the control over prices of essential goods. Without control there will always be profiteering. And profiteering will result in a high rate of inflation.

35. Today wage earners in particular are suffering. Wages have not increased to compensate for increased cost of living. While chasing prices with increases in wages can cause a wage/price spiral, but judicious increases to cushion off the rising costs would reduce the impact of inflation on the lower income people.

36. Malaysia must give up the idea of competing on the basis of low cost labour. Against China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia we just cannot win. We must provide other elements attractive to investors.

37. Confidence in the consistency of Government policies and political stability would be among the factors attractive to business. There can be a lot of other things that can be provided to offset the rise in wages. After all we must remember that many developed countries have very high wages. Even if we double the salaries and wages paid in Malaysia we would still be far lower than wages in developed countries.

38. We had planned to go hi-tech in order to increase income. But there is not much moving in the implementation of this policy. Instead we want to be an agricultural country again. Planting food crops on the side tables of roads may increase food production but it will not help fight inflation on the scale needed for overcoming the turmoil in the world.

JPJ to crack down on HID and tinting by July 2008

2008-07-01T12:58:00.000+08:00

The JPJ has announced that it is giving car owners 3 months until the end of July 2008 to remove non-compliant xenon lamps and dark tinting that does not comply with JPJ specifications from their cars.

During the 3 months leading up to the deadline, vehicles caught in violation will be issued a PG1 notice (Notis Larangan Penggunaan), but there will be no compound associated with the notice. To get this notice retracted, the car owner needs to comply with the directive. JPJ director Salim Parlan urges the public to report the number plates of "offending cars" to 03-88866412.

Road Transport Department enforcement director Salim Parlan says the ban will only affect cars retrofitted with HID kits, not cars that come with the system from factory. This is a bit hard to enforce as there are some cars that have two variants, one with HID and one without, how do you enforce this? The Civic 1.8 has normal halogen bulbs while the Civic 2.0 has HID bulbs, the same with the Nissan Latio and our very own Waja R3 MME Edition.

I believe that Xenon headlamps should not be banned, but only certain colour temperatures that pose a hazard to car's own driver should be banned. Some of the higher bluish colour temps can cause fatigue, plus they aren't particularly useful in the rain. Plus, proper alignment of the HID bulb to ensure the shine does not get into the way of other road users should be done.

Some HID users opt for the cheaper HID kits which only have the low beam, so they usually align it somewhere in the middle of low beam and high beam to make up for the lack of a high beam. You should get a proper Bi-Xenon system with both low and high beam, and align them appropriately.

Best is to retrofit a HID kit with a projector lense system into your reflector headlamps because projectors have been designed in such a way that the beam is cut off on the sides, making sure it only shines the path in front of you and does not get into the eyes of the drivers coming from the opposite direction.

Tips when filling up gasoline into your car

2008-06-23T15:04:00.001+08:00

Tips on Filling your Vehicles...

This is a Message received from a friend:

I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... but here in Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre.
But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth
for every litre.

Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS
STILL COLD.

Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground,
the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your litre is not exactly a litre.

In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and
other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business.
But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.

If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that arecreated, while you are pumping.
All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour.

Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof.

This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.

DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS! LET'S SHARE INFORMATION AND BENEFIT ALL, FOR THE BETTER OF
MANKIND.

GT babe in Malaysia

New lifestyle in Malaysia

2008-06-22T10:21:00.004+08:00

Ever since the fuel hikes on 5th June 2008. It has dramatically changed every Malaysian lifestyle. I guess it is getting worse cause most Malaysia are cutting down 'lifestyle' expenses that they used to spend more. Prolly lesser booze, cheaper clothings (less branded and I mean no Bata brand, maybe Ah Seng brand from China), taking public transport (isn't buying local cars at RM50 grand is pathetic enough? and now public transport and riding scooters?) Geezuz. I really thought when time progresses the lifestyle of the Malaysian citizen should improve but now is the other way round? Is this happening only in Malaysia or it is actually impacting on the countries?

Article copied from Star on 22/6/08.
(Looking on the bright side: Better traffic in KL)
Cardiologist Dr Ramesh Singh Veriah takes just 10 minutes driving from his home in Bangsar to his workplace at University Malaya Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Previously, the 5km journey took some 30 minutes.

Adam, from Pandan Indah, now arrives for work in Jalan Hang Tuah in the city centre 20 minutes early.

Like Ramesh and Adam, many drivers in the Klang Valley, Penang and other parts of the country are seeing less traffic following the June 5 fuel price hike.

> Kuala Lumpur City Hall recorded a drop of almost 12,000 cars entering the city daily a week after the fuel price hike;

> Queues at LRT stations are getting longer and car parks are bursting at the seams;

> A bus company in Putrajaya has recorded a 10% increase in the number of passengers;

> Daily traffic volume on the Penang Bridge has dropped by 7% from the previous daily volume of 67,000 vehicles;

> Sales of motorcycles have increased by up to 25%. Demand is higher than supply now; and

> More women are buying scooters.

Petrol, power price rise effects begin to kick in

PETALING JAYA: The effects of the increase in fuel price and electricity tariffs have started to kick in.

Just a day after the announcement of the increases, the following developments have taken place:

> Bus and lorry companies announced that they are increasing charges or will be forced to stop services;

> The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers said its members will pass on any increase in costs to consumers;

> Hawkers and other food operators will wait and see before raising prices; and

> The KLCI closed 29.56 points down, to 1223.56 points. Plantation and banking counters as well as PLUS were the most affected.

Not all was gloomy, however. Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat said he is looking at whether more reductions on road tax can be given.

Petrol News

2008-06-05T17:17:00.001+08:00

Kuala Lumpur, Jun 4 (PTI) Malaysia has hiked petrol prices by 40 per cent which will be effective from midnight tonight to reduce the government's massive subsidy.
The price of a litre of petrol will be raised by 78 sen to 2.70 ringgit (USD 0.84) while diesel will go up by one ringgit to 2.58 ringgit (USD 0.80) per litre, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi said adding that a new electricity tariff structure will take effect from July one.

While the increase in prices would still keep them as among the cheapest in Asia, the move is expected to lift the inflation rate to as much as 5 per cent.

It is the first time in two years that electricity and fuel prices have been increased. Fuel prices had not been changed in the country since February 2006.

"We cannot naturally keep subsidising at the current rate," Abdullah told reporters.

The government would extend an annual cash rebate of 625 ringgit (USD 201) per year to owners of cars with engine capacity of up to 2,000 cc and pick up trucks and jeeps of up to 2500 cc to offset their burden from the price hike, he said.

"Owners of private motorcycles of engine capacity of up to 250 cc will be paid a cash rebate of 150 ringgit per year," he said.

The prime minister said the cash rebate would be given to the owners of the cars and motorcycles when they paid or renewed their road tax.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Shahrir Abdul Samad had said earlier that Malaysia's long term plan was to increase the price of petrol to market price maybe by August. PTI

Will high inflation rates cause global recession now?

2008-04-14T07:41:00.002+08:00

It's pretty hard for Croesus to believe that the rate of inflation is only 3.4%, given the sharp rise in the price of food, gasoline and other sundry daily necessities.

Kimberly Stevens, a 42-year-old resident of Lewisville, Texas, and a Croesus follower, is also refusing to buy into the official Washington line that the nation's inflation rate is only 3.4%. This outraged reader says, "As far as I am concerned, Bernanke, President Bush, Clinton, Obama and the rest of them live in a fairy-tale world. They do not go shopping each week and have no idea what the cost of goods is."

Stevens, a $90,000-a-year e-commerce solutions architect has been peppering Croesus with the real facts of life. A gallon of the Horizon organic milk she buys for her two boys has soared from $1.99 to over $5, an increase of 250%. In the past year, a loaf of bread has surged nearly 50%--to $2.29 from $1.59. Her Kraft cheddar cheese has gone from $1.99 to $2.50 for an eight-ounce package--a 25% rise. A dozen extra large eggs are up from 79 cents to $1.19, or about 50% , while ground beef, Stevens insists, is up more than 60%, from $1.79 a pound to $2.99.

Croesus' source in small-town America doesn't think "people will be able to afford to go to work this summer" when she predicts gasoline will hit $4.50 a gallon. "My Jeep cost $35 a week to fill in 2005 when we bought it. It is now over $60 to fill. In the past month gasoline has gone up over 75 cents (a gallon)."

The cost of food and fuel for a month are $1,300 higher, "a big hit in a family budget," she insists. "American people cannot continue to survive and fund our great economy with more and more of our income going to pay to get us to work and home again."

"You cannot tell me that is 3.4% inflation," Stevens writes. "Who is the government and the Fed kidding? I am not that stupid, and I can bet most wives/moms who are grocery shopping know there is no way that is 3.4% inflation. Do they think we forget what prices were a year ago?" This is a middle-class professional mother and consumer--the heart and soul of America--who is clearly resolutely focused on the daily cost of feeding her family.

Indeed, Croesus has discovered that wheat has been trading between 50% and 80% above 2007 prices. Dairy products have witnessed the largest gains compared with last year, ranging from 80% to 200% higher. This is caused by higher animal feed costs and tight dairy supplies. Monthly milk prices on the Chicago Board of Trade have more than doubled in the past two years. Crude oil prices have risen 15% so far this year after soaring 57% in 2007.

The Dow Jones-AIG commodity index overall is up 14% just since January. Can it be that commodities are trading on their investment quality as tangibles rather than because of supply-demand factors? Does that even matter when it comes to the impact on inflation?

Croesus believes this mad rush into commodities by SmartMoney is caused by its seductive quality as flavor of the month speculation by those across the globe betting against the U.S. dollar.

Former Fed chairman Paul Volcker warned this week that monetary policies to ease the recession might well be leading to higher inflation and a run on the dollar. He predicted OPEC would soon price oil from a basket of currencies rather than the dollar.

Can it be that the way the Fed figures inflation needs a thorough overhaul? The powers that be may think it is better to not know, to be dumb, or, at least, to play dumb. The middle class, after all, according to former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, is taking it in the chops, as its gross income level hasn't appreciated at all despite an economy that has grown in aggregate the past seven years.

You'd think a household with gross income of $180,000 would not be complaining, but Stevens insists, "We are struggling along." Her husband, David, is a computer programmer, who is about to lose his job because his employer is going out of business.

Ms. Stevens' own earning power before Sept. 11 was $125,000 as a project manager, when that industry was cut back substantially. To make do, Ms. Stevens sells Mary Kay cosmetics out of her home, earning about $10,000 and gives horseback lessons to pay the expenses of the four horses her husband is raising, which cost $900 a month to feed and house. David Stevens hopes to raise and train horses for a living someday, a business that is widespread in the state of Texas.

Ms. Stevens believes the Bush economic stimulus package is ridiculous. She's no dummy and stays abreast of the nation's problems. "The government doesn't have the money to fund Social Security, Medicare, the Medicaid Drug Plan. And they want to take money that they are supposed to be using to manage the country's defense and infrastructure and send to citizens to spend at Wal-Mart (nyse: WMT - news - people )? Can you say stupid?"

She's also outraged that a Democratic president might raise taxes on couples making over $63,000 a year. Which seems mad if true, doesn't it? In most parts of the country, $31,500 a person (pre-tax) is all but poverty level.

Stevens concluded her message to Croesus by backing a general anxiety across the nation not supported by establishment economists. "I think the consumer--your neighbors and mine all around this country--are in for a bigger hit than economists see," she says. "I think [that] this recession is going to be deep and long (I am guessing 18 months) and that at the other end I'm not sure what we will find."

Croesus would like to hear what other families across America think about the rate of inflation and the cost of living. Post your comments below. Let the facts speak for themselves. Let a national dialogue begin

What is Law Of Attraction?

2008-04-13T22:07:00.001+08:00

The phrase Law of Attraction, although used widely by esoteric writers, does not have an agreed-upon definition. However, the general concensus among New Age thinkers is that the Law of Attraction takes the principal "Like Attracts Like" and applies it to conscious desire. That is, a person's thoughts (conscious and unconscious), emotions, and beliefs cause a change in the physical world that attracts positive or negative experiences that correspond to the aforementioned thoughts, with or without the person taking action to attain such experiences. This process has been described as "harmonious vibrations of the law of attraction"[1], or "you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your experience."[2]

The phrase is closely associated with New Thought beliefs and practices, from which its most common definition arises, but it also has a long standing (and more complex development) in other esoteric fields such as Hermeticism and Theosophy. Recently, the New Thought version was popularized by the 2006 film The Secret.

The more materialistic interpretations of The Law of Attraction have been criticized in the media, the scientific community—which cites what they believe to be the deliberate misuse of the scientific term law and the lack of any scientific evidence for the claims made by advocates for the Law of Attraction—and by some proponents of the New Age Movement and spirituality in general.[1]

[edit] History
The quality of this article or section may be compromised by "peacock terms".
You can help Wikipedia by removing peacock terms.

The idea behind the Law of Attraction is not new. The concept can be found in Hinduism [3] and, due to the influence of Hinduism on Theosophy, it is mentioned in early Theosophical texts as well. [4]

An influential modern book on the subject in the English language is As a Man Thinketh by James Allen (1864 - 1912), which was published in 1902. The title derives from the ancient Jewish Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: "As [a man] thinketh in his heart, so he is." Allen took this ambiguous idea of a correspondence between "a man's heart" and his existence to a logical extreme, stating that, "The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors, that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires -- and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own." [5]

Although As a Man Thinketh does not contain the term "Law of Attraction" in so many words, it explains the principle clearly and its popularity demonstrably gave rise to a century of writings on the subject. It has remained in print in book form for more than 100 years. Variant editions of As a Man Thinketh in print during the 21st century include those published by Dover Books [6], Barnes and Noble [7], Filiquarian [8], and Tarcher [9]; there are also audiobook and ebook editions; and at least three gender-switching spin-offs, each titled As a Woman Thinketh, which are by Gwendolyn Haynes (Million Words Publishing, 1997) [10], Dorothy J. Hulst, (Lushena Books, 2000)[11], and Cindy Cashman (Action Publishing, 2007) [12], respectively.

In America, Allen's assertion that "the soul attracts" both that which it desires and that which it fears struck a resonant chord in the New Thought Movement. Working from Allen's premise that one's thoughts attract "circumstances" that affect one's mental and physical situation in life, William Walker Atkinson (1862 - 1932) used the term 'Law of Attraction' to describe the phenomenon in his 1906 book Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World [13]. Atkinson was the editor of New Thought magazine, a student of Hinduism, and the author of more than 100 books on an assortment on religious, spiritual, and occult topics.

In the wake of Atkinson's success, other "New Thought" authors very quickly wrote their own books promulgating the principle. For example, in 1907, just one year after Atkinson's breakthrough was published, Elizabeth Towne, the editor of The Nautilus Magazine, a Journal of New Thought, published Bruce MacLelland's book Prosperity Through Thought Force, in which he declared that "dwelling on any quality of mind adds that quality to you, whether it be helpful or injurious," and also clearly set forth what was to become a classic New Thought epigram: "You are what you think, not what you think you are." [14] Around this time, the term "Law of Attraction" also appeared in the writings of the Theosophical authors William Quan Judge, in 1915, [15] and Annie Besant, in 1919. [16]

By the mid 20th century, writings on the subject had become common and dozens of authors had addressed the topic under various names, such as positive thinking, "mental science", "pragmatic Christianity," "New Thought", "practical metaphysics", Science of Mind", and "Religious Science".[1][17] Among the mid 20th century authors who used the term were Sri K. Parvathi Kumar (1942)[18] and Alice Bailey (1942). [19][20] [21]

In 2006, a film titled The Secret presented the "Law of Attraction" to a new generation and was soon after developed into a book by the same name. The movie and book sold at a tremendous pace and gained widespread attention across the media from Saturday Night Live to The Oprah Winfrey Show in the United States.[1] In September of the same year, Hay House published a book by Esther Hicks titled the The Law Of Attraction, which reached the New York Times best-seller list. [22] 21st century Christian bestsellers such as The 4:8 Principle, Bruce Wilkinson's The Prayer of Jabez, and Joel Osteen's recent work present a similar message, although given an explicitly Christian terminology with tacit biblical support (such as Philippians 4:8 and the Prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10). As a direct result of the release of The Secret in 2006 full-time Law of Attraction practitioners and lecturers Beth and Lee McCain, who taught the concepts of the Law of Attraction at the university level at UCLA and Oxford, crossed over from academia to the more commercial world of talk radio and publishing when their book, A Grateful Life: Living the Law of Attraction[23] became a bestseller and speaking engagements followed. Appearing on the August 18, 2007 broadcast of the Oprah and Friends XM radio show, Beth and Lee McCain credited their positive career path change to the Law of Attraction. On the same program professional skeptic James Randi rejected the McCains' belief and instead said their recent career good fortune was nothing more than "being in the right place at the right time."

[edit] Principles

Many people who accept the Law of Attraction as a guide for right living do so on the basis of their faith in the Universe and The Universe's 'Laws'; thus, to them, the nature of the 'Law' is not one to be settled scientifically, and the word 'Law' carries the same belief-based weight as non-scientific 'Laws' from other religions, such as the 'Law of Karma' and the Ten Commandments. This is especially true among those who are adherents of various New Thought. One common way that New Thought adherents utilize the Law of Attraction is through the practice of positive affirmations.

Some proponents of a more modern version of the Law of Attraction claim that it has roots in Quantum Physics. According to them, thoughts have an energy that attracts like energy.[1] In order to control this energy, proponents state that people must practice four things: [24]

* Know what one desires and ask the universe for it. (The "universe" is mentioned broadly, stating that it can be anything the individual envisions it to be, from God to an unknown source of energy.)
* Focus one's thought upon the thing desired with great feeling such as enthusiasm or gratitude.
* Feel and behave as if the object of one's desire is already acquired.
* Be open to receiving it.

Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in the perpetuation of not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids "negative" thoughts, the Universe will manifest a person's desires. [24]

This list of four steps (of uncertain origin), couched in quasi-scientific terms, is quite similar to, and was influenced by, the panentheistic "Seven Steps in Demonstration" first outlined in the book Become What You Believe by Mildred Mann (1904 - 1971):

* Desire. Get a strong enthusiasm for that which you want in your life, a real longing for something which is not there now.
* Decision. Know definitely what it is that you want, what it is that you want to do or have.
* Ask. [When sure and enthusiastic] ask for it in simple, concise language. . .
* Believe. Believe in the accomplishment with strong faith, consciously and subconsciously.
* Work. Work at it. . . a few minutes daily, seeing yourself in the finished picture. Never outline details, but rather see yourself enjoying the particular thing . . . Eventually, you will see a time where it will just appear, as a gift or such, or you may see an opportunity to get what you were asking for.
* Feel gratitude. Always remember to say, "Thank you, God [or the universe]," and begin to feel the gratitude in your heart. The most powerful prayer we can ever make is those three words, provided we really feel it. Feel as though you already have what you wanted.
* Feel expectancy. Train yourself to live in a state of happy expectancy... Find a way it will appear in your life, and keep believing in that. May it be that someone gives it to you, or you find an initiation to get it.

[edit] Criticism

The Law of Attraction, especially in its less religious contexts, has been criticized for

* Implying the law has a scientific foundation when no such basis exists,[1]
* Not defining its methodology correctly according to denominational New Thought practitioners,[25]

Criticism of the Law of Attraction comes from other directions as well.

In the mainstream media, talk show hosts such as Larry King have pointed at the sufferings in the world and asked, "If the Universe manifests abundance at a mere thought why is there so much poverty, starvation and death?" This theological problem is known as Theodicy.

It has also been pointed out that most of the people discussed in recent books on the subject live in a culture that has paths to allow people to overcome adversity and that the same is not true for much of the world.[1] The same cannot be said of earlier proponents of the Law of Attraction, however, especially those who, like Wallace Wattles (1860–1911), claimed in his book The Science of Getting Rich (1910) to have used the principle to rise from a life of grinding poverty to one of merely comfortable industry.

Scientists are critical of the lack of falsifiability and testability of the claims. All of the evidence is both anecdotal and, because of the self-selecting nature of positive reports as well as the subjective nature of any results, highly susceptible to misinterpretations like confirmation bias and selection bias.

The few claims by proponents that seem to reference modern scientific theory remain under question. While brainwaves do have an electrical signal, it is unclear what principles of quantum physics behave the way proponents of the Law of Attraction claim.[1] Opponents claim that the use of the term "Law" and the vague references to quantum physics to bridge any unexplained or seemingly implausible effects are hallmark traits of modern pseudoscience ideas.

Within spiritual circles, the Law of Attraction has been criticized for conflating ego with the higher self, and promoting narcissism.[citation needed] The concept is also criticized by members of various predestinarian and fundamentalist Christian denominations, due to its deviance from their teachings.[citation needed]

Money Magnet Tips

2008-04-12T11:18:00.001+08:00

I got this article somewhere in the internet and would like to share it with you guys out there. Anyway there are pretty a lot scams around trying to sell their stuffs so just ignore it and learn the tips that they have shared. It should be good enough.
There is a simple technique you can use to start activating that Money Magnet inside you. I will start by briefly repeating a technique that was explained in a different article. It will be for the benefit of those who never read it. Then, I will present an alternative technique in case you have a subconscious barrier using the first method.
THE UNIVERSAL LAW OF ATTRACTION
In one of her books titled "The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity", Catherine Ponder stated something worth remembering, "The ungrateful never prospers''. According to the author, your ungrateful attitude is pushing abundance and prosperity away from you.
Do you take a few minutes every day to be grateful and thankful for all the good things you have in your life right now? Most likely, NO. You are probably too busy focusing on what is wrong in your life and bitterly complaining about it. You do not even begin to understand that, by NOT being grateful and thankful, you are becoming a REPELLENT to money, wealth and riches.
"How can that be?", you may ask. "What is really happening here? Why are gratitude and thankfulness mentioned by so many teachers, authors and lecturers?", you may be wondering.
The Law of Life is the Law of Belief, also known as the universal Law of Attraction. It simply states that "what you deeply believe will sooner or later materialize as your physical reality". In other words, you are creating your own reality through the beliefs you deeply hold in your Subconscious mind.
And as you keep resenting and FOCUSING on the things that you BELIEVE are wrong in your life, the universal Law of Attraction guarantees that you shall keep attracting more of the same. There is also another very little known law, the Subconscious Law of Multiplication and Expansion, which simply brings back to you multiplied whatever you FOCUS on and makes it expand into other areas of your life.
Now, it should be perfectly clear why 'The ungrateful never prospers". As these ungrateful individuals FOCUS mainly on what is wrong in their lives, they put into operation the universal Law of attraction, which keeps bringing them what they FOCUS on: the 'bad' stuff in their lives. And the Subconscious Law of Multiplication and Expansion makes those troubles, not only worse, but it makes those troubles expand into all the areas of their lives as well.
The persons who are thankful and grateful are FOCUSING their minds on what is good in their lives, on what is working alright. The universal Law of Attraction keeps bringing them more of what they FOCUS on: the 'good' stuff in their lives. And the Subconscious Law of Multiplication and Expansions takes care of multiplying and expanding those good results in all areas of their lives. BEING THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL makes this person a MONEY MAGNET as well as a magnet to many wonderful things and events being attracted to his life.
TECHNIQUE NUMBER ONE
Now, a simple technique to activate that MONEY MAGNET inside you is the following. It was explained by the late Jack Ensign Addington in one of his books. It was given to a man who was desperate with an ever increasing pile of unpaid bills and angry creditors hunting him all over the place.
As you are in bed, ready to fall asleep, implant into your Subconscious mind the idea of abundance by simply repeating to yourself, over and over again, with feelings but without forcing, the sentence "I give thanks for the abundance that is mine". You may modify it to "I give thanks for the abundance, wealth and riches that are mine". Or even "I am a money magnet. I give thanks for the abundance of money flowing irresistibly to me". Use the one that feels most natural, the one you can accept the most easily. Fall asleep gently letting this truth sip deeper and deeper into the depths of your own Subconscious mind.
As you wake up in the morning, spend the first 5-10 minutes staying in bed with your eyes closed and again repeating over and over the same sentence.
Then, as you go through your day, STOP focusing on things that you consider to be detrimental and no good in your life. Instead, keep mentally repeating one or several of the statements above. The Laws of Attraction and the Law of Multiplication and Expansion will take care of everything else.
Now, who or what do you give thanks to? That is your choice. Give it to God, the Universe, Life, The Universal Mind, Infinite Intelligence within you, The Quantum Field, The Creative Force, the Creator or whoever/whatever you believe to be the SOURCE of that abundance you are attracting to you using the power of your Subconscious mind.
TECHNIQUE NUMBER TWO
Even though the first Method is simplicity itself, some may find subconscious barriers to its use.
These barriers may manifest themselves as objections arising from the mind when repeating the statements in Technique Number One.
These objections could be "Come on, what abundance, what wealth?". "Nonsense. You are drowning with unpaid bills", "You repel money", "You never have enough money". and many others.
Those objections will make the use of Technique Number One very ineffective.
Therefore, you will be using a different TACTIC to go around the resistance of your Subconscious.
Instead of giving thanks for the abundance, the wealth, the money that are coming your way and that you are a Money Magnet, you will start being thankful and grateful for anything you GENUINELY can be thankful for.
Examples: Thank you for my great health and vitality.
Thank you for my great intelligence
Thank you for having a car
Thank you for having a roof over my head
Thank you for my parents, brothers, sisters, friends
Thank you because I have a job
Thank you because I have enough money to eat
Thank you for the wonderful lunch I had today
Thanks for my wonderful eyes (teeth, skin, etc.)
Make certain those are things you are GENUINELY thankful and grateful for. Keep following Technique Number Two for several days. You may even need a week. And then, SLOWLY and GRADUALLY, start ADDING the statements in technique Number One. Slowly, gradually I said.
What you did was to train your Subconscious to accept things that were going well in your life. And then, you started to SNEAK in a few of the statements in Technique Number One. And then, a bit more. And a bit more. Until a time where your Subconscious will start accepting those statements, they will be incorporated as part of your BELIEF system and the Law of Attraction will make you a Money Magnet and attract abundance, wealth, money into your life.
Practice these techniques for the next THIRTY (30) days and you will notice improvements in your life. These improvements will be gradual. They will get bigger and bigger, greater and greater as each day goes by. And you will be very happy you learned these very simple techniques.

Mahathir having breathing difficulties?

2007-09-14T23:11:00.000+08:00

Recently I have read some articles in the Internet saying that Mahathir was first hospitalized on the island of Langkawi, where he spends much of his time to rest and relax. After the ailing former strongman was transferred to the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur, his daughter, Marina Mahathir, told Asia Sentinel he was “much better” and an aide described his mood as “cheerful. Hospital officials said he could be discharged in a few days. I hope Mathathir's condition is improving right now cause he is the best leader that Malaysian has and had so far. I sincerely wish Tun Dr. Mahathir to recover and have healthy life ahead! I would like to personally thank you for all your contributions that you have done for Malaysia. Without you Malaysia will never mark to the next level!

Politics in Malaysia are really interesting!

2007-09-13T20:15:00.000+08:00

I am really amazed and impressed with politics that is getting around in Malaysia this days. New and impressive policies which I like it though! That's the way how our country should move on. We invest more money in many fantastic projects and also use a lump sum of money to do some inspections over defect projects! Hey we need to make sure that our project succeed in our country don't we? So we need to reinvest in inspections to ensure the projects are all a ok! Isn't our country such a beatiful country? Syabas!

Maybank New Policy! Nice we like it!

2007-09-13T20:09:00.000+08:00

Following the scrapping of Maybank’s racial ruling by the government, several Malay economists, lawyers and UMNO politicians had urged the government to reconsider implementing the ruling. Their reasoning?

“We cannot build Malaysia’s future based on whoever’s quicker and more capable, will succeed”

Pengerusi Gabem, Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik

I really envy the way how our big corporate run their business seriously. I seriously puzzled what this Tan Sri is trying to tell us? Don't work hard and don't be too smart you will succeed by just sitting down and wait for opportunities to drop from the sky? Hmmm... just a thought seriously... New policies in Malaysia is seriously getting really weird this days. Wonder if you guys are having the same feeling?

Namewee getting local popularity

2007-09-11T20:41:00.000+08:00

It seems like the recent Chinese student from Muar is constantly getting popularity among the youtube community. I guess as much many people pretty like the song partly because it is revealing solid facts and having the groovy hip hop tune. In my opinion it is just a song but people shouldn't take it too seriously and if they do, they should accept certain comments as way to improve the society instead of just ignoring the fact. Well in the recent phenomenon it seems like the government sector are not too happy about this behaviour and actions going to be taken against him for tarnishing the country reputation. This might not look good on Namewee side but what the heck. He is getting popularity in Taiwan and recently he has even released him own album. I guess as much in no time he is going to be another millionaire kid in Taiwan street.

Law of Attraction

2007-09-10T21:25:00.001+08:00

Have you guys ever heard of Law of Attraction? It is a teaching that improves our positive thinking to infuse out the positive vibration or waves to the universe on whatever we wish for. Basically if we think of the good things that we want in our lives the Law of Attraction will react towards what we wish for! Well you can't say its entirely bullshit because I think that's how religion was been created or introduced to the world. Every religion has the common teaching which is to teach people to wish what they want and when they are actually doing prayers they are actually in deep thought and thats where Law of Attraction works at this point.

It really sounds too good to be true but hell yeah sometimes when we really wish for something and miracle does happen though. Does this teaching really works on you? Care to share your experiences? It seems it works for love, money and health! I am impulsing a huge wave for an Alfa Romeo Brera now. I wonder when is it coming to my door step? Hehehehe....

My very first blog!

2007-09-09T23:18:00.000+08:00

Hmm.. Blogging seems to be a very hot topic this days. I am still wondering what does blogging actually do and why it is like a buzz word everywhere? I personally feel blogging is just another microsoft word with the capability to publish it to the world. Does anyone actually read it? For all I know many politician in my country are definitely using blogging technology as a way to reach to the masses. Pretty effective way to reach individuals though! Even namewee is using blogging to reach to the masses and it definitely has a very receptive response. Is there any restrictions for us to post up any blogs into the internet? Is there any authorities censoring what we are blogging today? Does freedom of speech really exist in blogs? I would really like to hear from you guys out there!
