http://www.mylot.com/w/keywords/generators.aspx MyLot Discussions About generators en-gb http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2095026.aspx We have the supply of current stopped or shut down for long hours once in every month from morning 9am to 6pm in the evening, this is done to cut down and fell the branches of trees that reach the overhead electric wires. This sometimes cause a lot of difficulties in completing or daily chores. It is informed well in advance in newspaper and local channels both in the radio and televisions, still sometimes it is very difficulty to finish all the works by 9am in the morning and life becomes to a standstill till 6pm in the evening. The generators and other system cannot supply power for such a long time too. Have you ever experienced such situation? Thu, 06 Aug 2009 07:06:58 GMT yogambal_64 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/905010.aspx Most of my families are from the province of Bicol near Ragay Camarines Sur. But I also have lots of friends and even relatives that live in Naga City and even from Iriga. I also do speak bikol -- I've lived there for 7 months last year. I have to say that province can be super hot, but so much fun to be there, but the only problem is the big issues with brownouts and most people rely on generators. So anyone from Bicol feel from to leave a comment or add me as a friend. Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:44:29 GMT bluemestizo http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1803685.aspx Talking to my Dad the other day, I realized something…he is pretty much self-contained. He has a farm where he grows all his own fruits and veggies, he raises his own cows-pigs-chickens-turkeys for meat and eggs, he has well water and wood heat. The only thing he depends on the city for is electric and it wouldn’t surprise me if he has a couple of generators. BTW, the pics included in the discussion are of his chickens or turkeys and part of his garden. I wish I were like this. As it is we’re not self contained at all. All our food comes from the store, our water and electric are from the city and our whole apartment is electric. I think if it came down to survival skills my Dad could survive quite a while on his own. How self-contained are you? How long do you think you could survive without any outside help? Do you know self-contained ppl?

[em]confused[/em]Mind you, a Mylot friend helped me and so I now have a new avi.[em]shocked[/em] I tried to make it look like me. The hair cut is about right and the glasses too, I am a lot heavier and a lot older. What's that you said. Did you say Duh? I am so proud of myself so don't burst my bubble. Who knows what I will do next? Next I may start to put on photographs of me with my family. so to turn this into an acceptable discussion. What are you proud of right now?

Israel never targets civilians.[/b] The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated pieces of property in the world. The presence of militants within a civilian population does not, under international law, deprive that population of their protected status, and hence any assault upon that population under the guise of targeting militants is, in fact, a war crime. Moreover, the people Israel claims are legitimate targets are members of Hamas, which Israel says is a terrorist organization. Hamas has been responsible for firing rockets into Israel. These rockets are extremely inaccurate and thus, even if Hamas intended to hit military targets within Israel, are indiscriminate by nature. When rockets from Gaza kill Israeli civilians, it is a war crime. Hamas has a military wing. However, it is not entirely a military organization, but a political one. Members of Hamas are the democratically elected representatives of the Palestinian people. Dozens of these elected leaders have been kidnapped and held in Israeli prisons without charge. Others have been targeted for assassination, such as Nizar Rayan, a top Hamas official. To kill Rayan, Israel targeted a residential apartment building. The strike not only killed Rayan but two of his wives and four of his children, along with six others. There is no justification for such an attack under international law. This was a war crime. Other of Israel's bombardment with protected status under international law have included a mosque, a prison, police stations, and a university, in addition to residential buildings. Moreover, Israel has long held Gaza under siege, allowing only the most minimal amounts of humanitarian supplies to enter. Israel is bombing and killing Palestinian civilians. Countless more have been wounded, and cannot receive medical attention. Hospitals running on generators have little or no fuel. Doctors have no proper equipment or medical supplies to treat the injured. These people, too, are the victims of Israeli policies targeted not at Hamas or legitimate military targets, but directly designed to punish the civilian population. [b]Lie #2) Hamas violated the cease-fire. The Israeli bombardment is a response to Palestinian rocket fire and is designed to end such rocket attacks.[/b] Israel never observed the cease-fire to begin with. From the beginning, it announced a "special security zone" within the Gaza Strip and announced that Palestinians who enter this zone will be fired upon. In other words, Israel announced its intention that Israeli soldiers would shoot at farmers and other individuals attempting to reach their own land in direct violation of not only the cease-fire but international law. Despite shooting incidents, including ones resulting in Palestinians getting injured, Hamas still held to the cease-fire from the time it went into effect on June 19 until Israel effectively ended the truce on November 4 by launching an airstrike into Gaza that killed five and injured several others. Israel's violation of the cease-fire predictably resulted in retaliation from militants in Gaza who fired rockets into Israel in response. The increased barrage of rocket fire at the end of December is being used as justification for the continued Israeli bombardment, but is a direct response to the Israeli attacks. Israel's actions, including its violation of the cease-fire, predictably resulted in an escalation of rocket attacks against its own population. [b]Lie #3) Hamas is using human shields, a war crime.[/b] There has been no evidence that Hamas has used human shields. The fact is, as previously noted, Gaza is a small piece of property that is densely populated. Israel engages in indiscriminate warfare such as the assassination of Nizar Rayan, in which members of his family were also murdered. It is victims like his dead children that Israel defines as "human shields" in its propaganda. There is no legitimacy for this interpretation under international law. In circumstances such as these, Hamas is not using human shields, Israel is committing war crimes in violation of the Geneva Conventions and other applicable international law. [b]Lie #4) Arab nations have not condemned Israel's actions because they understand Israel's justification for its assault.[/b] The populations of those Arab countries are outraged at Israel's actions and at their own governments for not condemning Israel's assault and acting to end the violence. Simply stated, the Arab governments do not represent their respective Arab populations. The populations of the Arab nations have staged mass protests in opposition to not only Israel's actions but also the inaction of their own governments and what they view as either complacency or complicity in Israel's crimes. Moreover, the refusal of Arab nations to take action to come to the aid of the Palestinians is not because they agree with Israel's actions, but because they are submissive to the will of the US, which fully supports Israel. Egypt, for instance, which refused to open the border to allow Palestinians wounded in the attacks to get medical treatment in Egyptian hospitals, is heavily dependent upon US aid, and is being widely criticized within the population of the Arab countries for what is viewed as an absolute betrayal of the Gaza Palestinians. Even Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been regarded as a traitor to his own people for blaming Hamas for the suffering of the people of Gaza. Palestinians are also well aware of Abbas' past perceived betrayals in conniving with Israel and the US to sideline the democratically elected Hamas government, culminating in a counter-coup by Hamas in which it expelled Fatah (the military wing of Abbas' Palestine Authority) from the Gaza Strip. While his apparent goal was to weaken Hamas and strengthen his own position, the Palestinians and other Arabs in the Middle East are so outraged at Abbas that it is unlikely he will be able to govern effectively. [b]Lie #5) Israel is not responsible for civilian deaths because it warned the Palestinians of Gaza to flee areas that might be targeted.[/b] Israel claims it sent radio and telephone text messages to residents of Gaza warning them to flee from the coming bombardment. But the people of Gaza have nowhere to flee to. They are trapped within the Gaza Strip. It is by Israeli design that they cannot escape across the border. It is by Israeli design that they have no food, water, or fuel by which to survive. It is by Israeli design that hospitals in Gaza have no electricity and few medical supplies with which to treat the injured and save lives. And Israel has bombed vast areas of Gaza, targeting civilian infrastructure and other sites with protected status under international law. No place is safe within the Gaza Strip. For it to be a discussion, what is your take on this? I was forwarded this email from a friend abroad and thought its good to share. Wed, 07 Jan 2009 03:06:53 GMT kwenge http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1887520.aspx One of the largest outages' The storm has been blamed for at least 20 deaths and a glaze of ice and snow caused widespread power failures from the Southern Plains to the East Coast. Authorities said it could be a week before some communities have electricity again. A week! That has happened to us, but in the summer. I cannot imagine in the winter http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090128/ap_on_re_us/winter_storm How long have you ever been w/o power? Wed, 28 Jan 2009 10:29:11 GMT ersmommy1 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1872968.aspx Since I am familiar with both HTML and Java (have two java compilers on my computer) I usually will create a new page on one of the websites or blogs that I have. I optomize it for SEO and or enter it into multiple surf sites and other traffic generators until I raise the ranking to where my story and my warning about the company pops up in reference to the company whenever someone searches for the name of the company, or their product names. Then I usually will email their customer service department a link to the page right after I attach it as a popup to their search listings so that they are aware of the popup or pop under. I also email them any copies of reports that I have made to consumer whatchdog groups, blogs, forums, etcetera. Because as long as I can prove the veracity of my claim and as long as what I am saying is true I am not defaming them nor slandering their name. And my proof is always included in every thing that I post about them. It normally takes less than a week for them to contact we to try to "work out the misunderstanding." If they satisfy whatever my beef is I take all the stuff that I can down from wherever I posted it, or I edit it to indicate that the debt or outstanding request has been satisfied and then I wrap up my "reign of terror" If you try it you will find that this is a very effective way of getting what you paid for or what you're owed from an online company without having to hire a lawyer or take your losses in stride(which I never wanna do.) In fact if you want to capitalize on the situation you simply affiliate with their competitors or alternative companies. Post a list of them, and your links, to a blog or website, and include a link to this post or page that you have created. Condemning them and their actions and then redirecting people to another safer, proven to pay alternatives is a very good way to get referrals and customers for affiliate programs and Incentivized sites especially. So what do you do when you have a problem with an internet company paying you or sending you the product that you purchased?? Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:14:43 GMT sharone74 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1871807.aspx The National Transmission Corporation, a government owned company that serves as a highway for electricity from generators to the distribution utilities is now privatized. It is considered to be the "crown-jewel" of the country as it the nation-wide high voltage transmission backbone. It will now be called, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines which composed of State Grid Corporation of China, Monte Oro Grid Resources and Calaca High-Power Corporation. They officially took over yesterday, January 15, 2009. This is a national issue, are you aware about this?

As you can see I'm very new to myLot and just in general I am pretty new to online marketing PTC, PTR, etc. etc...Does anyone have any tips/tricks on how to promote these online cash generators? And also, I'd like to hear some opinions on programs out there!Thanks a bunch!p.s. if you feel like shooting my your referral link I'll be happy to sign up if I haven't already:) I too have a few that I would really like to get more referrals for! Wed, 24 Dec 2008 03:21:18 GMT triharder http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1836214.aspx Last week we had a major Ice storm. There was a lot of people that were out of power. Trees got knocked down. Ice covered the power lines. To my knowledge not a lot of people had generators. I heard on the news that in this time of need people really came together to help other people. There were places that opened up for people who did not have generators. Those people could go to these places to warm up, or they could spend the night. I think this is a really good way for people to show that they care. At my house we had a gernerator, so we had power. We also had a wood stove to keep warm. But our neighbor didn't have a generator. He had a wood stove so he could keep warm, but he did not have any water. So we offered for him to come to our house to fill up water jugs. We also let him come over so he could cook his meals. Our neighbor was so greatful. You would have thought that we had given him a million dollars. He could not stop thanking us. I think this is how it should be all the time, not just when people are in a time of need. What I have seen most of the time, people are so caught up with their own lives they don't stop to think of other people. I think that is sad. Here in the United states, we have the American red cross and the Salvation army to help people that need a place to live or food to eat. That is a really good cause. In other countries what do you have for people that are less fortunate. Do you volenteer at any time of the year or just during the holidays. I try to volenteer any time that I can. I am not saying that I am a saint or anything. But every little bit helps. I think that if everyone helps what little that they can, this world would be a better place. What is your opinion??? Let me know, I am curious. I like to help people any way that I can. Happy holidays and happy mylotting :) Tue, 16 Dec 2008 11:47:35 GMT anna_searles
