    Algorithm Computers located on the north highway about 200 meters north of Cangs, same side of the road. I get most of my computer stuff there and they are very good.

    I agree wholeheartedly regards the Vitamin thing here! IF they eat a balanced diet then there is NO NEED for vitamins unless they have some sickly ailment! I have refused point blank to take anymore Vitamins my Wife keeps trying to stuff into me and I am trying to get her to look at forcing the daughter into eating MORE healthy vegetables and LESS Rice! The wife was terrible embarrassed when the PUBLIC SCHOOL diagnosed our Daughter as malnourished and anemic because she did not measure up to their graph! ARRGGHH!! :rage: I went through this BS back in Oz back in the 90's when our Son was undersize according to School Graphs and we were forced to take him to a Pediatrician to look at giving him growth hormones so he would be 'normal'... I REFUSED and TF I did as it later turned out as it was later linked to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) so I would have in effect given him a death sentence!

    Sorry but my 2 cents;
    Children SHOULD eat a balanced Diet of Vegetables and Meat for Protein, Fruits and drink lots of water AFTER their meal not before and during as it fills them up too quickly! The Daughter here eats Rice, TOO MUCH RICE! The other thing I have done is stopped them eating the fat from Pork! too many bad habits form early in age, I have friends back in Oz who's children did not know what to do with a normal meal of Meat & Vegetables I shared with my children as all they ever ate was take-away and those kids were terribly obese and ADD/ADHD from the sh*t they pushed down their throats!

    STOP ALL JUNK FOODS SOFT DRINKS AND OTHER RUBBISH and get back to basics!

    Oh and my Brother was a Chronic Asthmatic spending the first few years of his life mainly in Hospital, one day a Naturopath told my Mother to take him to the Salt water (River/Sea) and find someone who could teach him to swim as it would strengthen his lungs and the salt is better than Asthma medications, within a couple of years there was no looking back! He went on to become a professional Fisherman and Skipper and never suffers from Asthma anymore, he was probably 8 or 10 when he was last sick from it.

    With my second Wife and the boys being Mama's boys getting/doing what they wanted, meant some very bad behaviour, after a long period with Pediatricians etc we went down the ADD/ADHD route and following what was in the books, we changed their diet from Junk Foods/ Red Foods/ Over-ripe Fruits etc that are high in sugar and the change in their behaviour was nothing short of a miracle! The sh*t you get in packaged Foods today is I believe a BIG PART of the problem!

    Get back to basics like we once lived, FRESH Vegetables FRESH Meat More Water instead of Sodas etc... A lot of this seems to be the New Epidemic, when I went to School there were maybe TWO Fat kids in the whole of Primary and High School, look today and TRY and find the SKINNY KID! :o o:

    I don't see where they broke down the type of death by country. I see an example of a two idiots (or possible drunks) that didn't know how to drive jet-skis. Thailand didn't make them stupid or kill them, not knowing how to safely operate a jet-ski did that. How many of the "accidents" had alcohol and motor vehicles in the mix? I don't consider accidents involving alcohol as "accidents"....but maybe the Thai government does.

    Thailand didn't make Aussies old or kill them by natural causes (blame time for that).

    "Illness" is a pretty broad term. How are they recording these illnesses? Elderly people dying of things that wouldn't kill a younger healthier person?

    Missing persons? How many wanted to go missing? Asia is a great place to get lost if you want. I'm sure there are some that were snatched up but....

    In jail overseas? Stop overstaying your visas, getting in bar fights, doing/transporting drugs and raping little kids. Pretty easy to not get arrested with a bit of common sense.

    I bet if they required an IQ test before letting people travel abroad these numbers would go down drastically.

    Check out Tierra Alta. Pretty good food and beautiful view. 3 years ago I think it was about $500 for the venue, food for 50, and they threw in a free room.

    I don't particularly notice that ... I see the site as full of very nice people who help each other. I have learned so much from it. The cases where I feel a comment is unpleasant is in the very very very small minority.

    If the Philippines doesn't want the stipulations that go along with the handouts then they should stop putting their hand out. Nobody is forcing the Philippines to change any of their laws.

    I wonder if the mayors will call BS on this warning like the did the last one....and then have to eat crow whenever they get the same intel later.

    Travel to that region of the Philippines has been irresponsible and dangerous for decades. Avoid predominately Muslim controlled areas at all times no matter what country you are in, regardless of current threat warning. Their religion is not compatible with today's civilized world and if you go there and get kidnapped you have no one to blame but yourself. No tears will be shed for you by this guy when you get your head cut off.

    Here is another picture of the male Belgian....I'm hoping the wife can get a good shot of the female, she is a striking dog; beautiful and a great temperament. She's promised some more pics of the Husky as well...gorgeous blue eyes and a ball of energy.

    Obviously I'm as excited as the wife about the new additions, so bear with me if I want to show them off a bit.

    Nothing at all to do with Du30.............Philippines has been blacklisted of sorts, as it doesnt have to furnish or show how it spent what money it was given, most of the foreign aid is lying in Banks waiting for its day in the sunshine

    how they can pilfer and plunder from the mouths of desperate people ( there own kip and kin) is beyond me,
    how countries can give it without asking where its actually being spent is just as bad, half of what is said was given is never given in the first place
