Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

A quote by Benjamin Franklin.

Nothing is so truth than this simple quote.

Since death is certain and there is no way to avoid it as of now, think of the consequences and those who lived on without you. If you are the main earner, the living will have a difficult time to carry on living.

There are a few ways to help them but one of the easier way and perhaps more affordable is to get some form of insurance for yourself. Doing some casual browsing and hit on this site. Not applicable for Singaporeans but if you live in the US, it might be right for you.

Seems to be a great site if you are considering various insurance companies and want to get quotes as it provides Insurance Quoting Services. It also talks abt various form of insurances which is actually good if you want to find out more even if you cannot get the services. Examples are Term Policies, Whole Life Insurances, Cash back Insurances and general insurances.

As insurances can get pretty expensive at times, I am sure you want to get the best rates and save money on insurance premium. Do get quotes and ask around~!

Beside the general insurances for the individual, there are also insurances for companies, such as Corporate Insurance Plans for Employers and Employee Benefit Package, and key personnel of the companies. Hee. Hope I can reach the position of a key personnel of a company and the company will buy such insurance for me~!

R4 technically legal and Nintendo is giving up the fight

Well, finally R4 and other such 'piracy enabling devices' are recognised as legal devices, though it can be used for illegal purposes such as piracy. See the news here.

A lot of devices are also 'piracy enabling devices', such as your photocopy machine, the CD/DVD writer on your PC right now. They are legal tools but once used inappropriately, they turn illegal.

The recent SLS raid in which a few shops have their R4 or other carts seized along with pirated games. After the R4 has been used as evidence, they should be returned as they are not the offending materials.

Waiting for an official announcement from Nintendo to settle the issue.

So is Arsenal an english team or not?

The current premier league features a dominance of a "Top 4" teams. Even though the league is played in England and belongs to the English but how English are the teams are.

Out of the 4 clubs, less than half of their first XI are Englishman.

Manchester United and Liverpool are owned by US owners while Chelsea is owned by a Russian. Only Arsenal is still in the hands of Englishmen and their fans.

When Arsenal won beautifully in Europe, the British media proudly claims an English team made it good. When England loses, the media will claim that its failure is due to international team like Arsenal causing it to fail.

So who is actually an English team when the owners are not even an Englishman and half the squad is not an Englishman also?

R4 Spring broke

Finally, the R4 spring broke. Initially thought it was not broken but maybe the catch or something is not catching it. After reading up on broken springs for R4, yap, that is the end result of a broken spring.

I din exactly take the spring out but only lift the tab up and try to find the black plastic piece as mentioned. Din managed to do it but hey, the spring is fixed or at least it is not ejecting my micro sd card out.

Hope the youtube vid can help
