Danger of Microwaving Water!

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he wanted to bring the water to a boil.. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the! Water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup 'blew up' into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his face due to the buildup of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face which may leave scarring.
He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc..., (nothing metal).
General Electric's Response:
Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds! Before moving it or adding anything into it.
Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter: 'Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water (less than half a cup).
What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling point.
What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid.. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated beverage spews when opened after having been shaken.'
If you pass this on you could very well save someone from a lot of pain and suffering

LIFE IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED ....
LIFE IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED ....
The couple were 85 years old and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they watched their pennies.
Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade..
One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.
They reached the pearly gates, and St.. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging their favourite clothes in the closet.
They gasped in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.'
The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven..'
The old man looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth.
'What are the greens fees?,' grumbled the old man.
'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, every day.'
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, free flowing beverages.
'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to the man.. This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.'
The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife.
'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods and the decaffeinated tea?' he asked.
'That's the best part,' St. Peter replied, 'You can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!'
The old man pushed, 'No gym to work out at?'
'Not unless you want to,' was the answer.
'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or....'
'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.'
The old man glared at his wife and said, 'You and your darn Oat Bran Flakes. We could have been here ten years ago!'

FIRE HAZARD GLADE PLUGINS SCENTED GEL - Glade® PlugIns® FRAGRANCE

Received from a friend who is in the insurance property business. It is well worth reading.
This is one of those e-mails that if you don't send it, rest assured someone on your list will suffer for not reading it. The original message was written by a lady whose brother and wife learned a hard lesson this past week.
Their house burnt down.. nothing left but ashes. They have good insurance so the house will be replaced and most of the contents. That is the good news.
However, they were sick when they found out the cause of the fire. The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours. He had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He asked her sister-in-law what she had plugged in the bathroom. She listed the normal things....curling iron, blow dryer.
He kept saying to her, 'No, this would be something that would disintegrate at high temperatures'. Then her sister-in-law remembered she had a Glade Plug-In , in the bathroom.
The investigator had one of those 'Aha' moments. He said that was the cause of the fire. He said he has seen more house fires started with the plug-in type room fresheners than anything else. He said the plastic they are made from is THIN. He also said that in every case there was nothing left to prove that it even existed. When the investigator looked in the wall plug, the two prongs left from the plug-in were still in there.
Her sister-in-law had one of the plug-ins that had a small night light built in it. She said she had noticed that the light would dim and then finally go out. She would walk in to the bathroom a few hours later, and the light would be back on again. The investigator said that the unit was getting too hot, and would dim and go out rather than just blow the light bulb . Once it cooled down it would come back on. That is a warning sign!
The investigator said he personally wouldn't have any type of plug in fragrance device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many places that have been burned down due to them.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE
PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.

Malaysia PLUS Highway Toll Gate Operator SCAM
Here's something to be aware of for all PLUS Toll user in Malaysia..I had to go to some place in Desa Pandan yesterday afternoon.
Of course the road that I used was Kesas highway.
The story I'm about to tell started upon reaching the Toll Gate near Awan Besar.
It happened after I handed to theToll Operator my payment for using that expensive highway - RM 2.20.
Me : "Resit, pliz..."
Toll Operator : "Err, bang, resit takde la..."
Me : "Mcm mana boleh takde pulak...?"
Toll Operator : "Erm, saya TERTEKAN kelas 4.... harga dia lain..."
Me : "Kelas 4???".... (sambil tercari-cari where I could find any clue about Kelas 4...)
Ah, there it is, just right in front of me...

All of the sudden,
Toll Operator : "Bang, nah amik la... saya bagi 'change'" (handing me RM1.10)
Me : (automatically accept the notes with blank expression, shut my window close and bye-bye)
At first, I said to myself, "Hey, at least I pay half, itu sudah Untung..."
Until I realize the actual plot done by the Toll Operator... Damn it, I forgot his name from the name tag!!!
Like what old folk said - Selagi tak kena batang hidung sendiri, selagi itu kita tak sedar.
Now I know that there is some basis of a few allegation towards the Toll Operator.
Even one of my friend refuse to work as Toll Operator due to this sinister plot.
Apparently, most of them vowed not to disclose this wrongdoing to other
people and unanimously doing it without any guilt.
So how much do the Toll Operator actually earn from this broad day light robbery in
their own employer's premises. Let say that every time the Class 1, 2 and 3 pass
through the gate and the Operator press the Class 4 for Taxis...
One Car - Class 1 - Loss - $1.10
One Lorry - Class 2 - Loss -$ 2.20
One Lorry - Class 3 - Loss - $3.30
If the Operator manage to get 100 vehicle for every class in a period of 8 working hours a day.
Class 1 $1.10 x 100 = $110
Class 2 $2.20 x 100 = $220
Class 3 $3.30 x 100 = $330
Total = $660.00 per day!
Assuming he/she work for 5 days a week or 22 days a month.
Total = RM 14,520.00 per month
Not including his/her own monthly salary....
Wow!! that's more than 3 times fold of normal engineer's salary.
And that's only for one operator... how about other operators that did the same thing?!
The above calculation may vary for different lanes. I bet that the one who works in
Lorry Lane may be doing this and have joyous time for sucking hundreds everyday from
this system. Those who stay in normal car lane, might be getting less as he/she can
only deduct from Class1 to Class 4 only.
All the above is just my say. My pre-assumption. Not base on actual, except from
yesterday short experience. We heard a lot that some make money being toll operator
and lived luxuriously, but some suffer due to low wages.

Nevertheless, Kesas was known years ago for having bribery scandal involving the
Petrol Station operator. Those days, for example, there are only BP and Caltex near
Awan Besar dan Awan Kecil. Now there are Petronas and Shell some more. Yes, the
culprit were charged with Bribery, only that he was caught red-handed with concrete
proof. How about others??? for instance the toll operator
Government had to pay the toll company for the toll hike although the toll
company keep on making profit.
21. Samy announced in September 2006 that the government paid compensation
amounting to RM38.5 billion to 20 highway companies. A RM380 million windfall for
9 toll concessionaires earned solely from the toll hikes in 2008 alone;
Taken from anonymous from forwarded email...
I wonder, if the Toll Company are really "TELUS" in their operation and maintenance cost,
while the operator are honest in doing their duty, how much million can be saved and
enjoyed by toll company in term of PROFIT.
If the projection is high, there is no need for Government to spend more on subsidy or
compensation towards the Toll Company.
If the profit is enough to cover the company's interest, then also, there is no need to
increase the toll price anymore....
If just the Toll company can setup a system to prevent their toll operator to manipulate
the "classing" system for their own personal benefit.. then the toll company can benefit
better from toll collection.
I myself are so disgusted with certain TOLL OPERATOR.
As for the readers, please do your part in preventing this to happen. By hook or by crook,
we had to use highways. At least the money we spent for the services, goes to the
maintenance and operation of the highways... not to the selfish operators!
What say you????

Dealing with Rude People

Some tips on dealing with Rude People, try and adapt it if possible.
- Diversion – While nothing can be done for a rude family member, or a childhood friend, you can always think of more pleasant thoughts to divert your mind from the annoyance. It is not foolproof, but it will help your blood pressure to ease up a bit.
- Count to ten – This trick helps much when you are getting angry, but as I have discovered, it can also help get you out of trouble. Saving your breath from issuing a scathing remark can save relationships and reputations in the process. If you are anything like me, rude people can easily be your source of anger. Ergo, 1… 2… 3…10.
- Non-rude counters – When people come up to you and say “Oh, my! You are as big as a cow/pig/HOUSE”, rather than take the person’s stinging words to heart, you can always counter or reply in a way that would stop the person from further commenting. For example, for the statement above, I have this readied reply which goes like, “Really?! It’s a sign of progress.” Then maybe top it off with a wink.
- Imagination overload – This tip is one of my favorites. It allows you to do as you please with the rude person – only you have to do it in your mind. Go as extreme as you want and imagine. Say for example, somebody says you are just a failure, then you can imagine a thousand 10-ton granite boulders to fall on that person’s head – or whatever your heart desires.

How Should Christian Families Approach Halloween?
How Should Christian Families Approach Halloween? by Jim Liebelt HomeWord
You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the evil powers of the world. So why do you keep on following rules of the world, such as, “Don’t handle, don’t eat, don’t touch.” Such rules are mere human teaching about things that are gone as soon as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, humility and severe bodily discipline. But they have no effect when it comes to conquering a person’s evil thoughts and desires. — Colossians 2:20-23 NLT
At HomeWord, we receive questions from time to time about Halloween. Should parents allow their kids to “celebrate” or not? To avoid “giving the devil his due,” so to speak, some Christians change the name of their festivities from a “Halloween” party to a “Harvest Party.” (While pretty much everything looks exactly the same!) Churches throughout our country use Halloween as a means for outreach to the community.
So what’s up with Halloween? There is no doubt that Halloween's origins can be traced to pagan beliefs and rituals. Satanic groups have also attached meaning to Halloween, celebrating it as a special holiday. These origins and meanings can be researched pretty easily on the Internet. Christians of good conscience differ on their views of whether or not believers should have any participation in Halloween celebrations.
Certainly, Christians should not participate in the "dark side" of Halloween–to in any way approve of the satanic or the focus on paganism, evil, death, etc. Yet, the reality of Halloween participation for many, believers and unbelievers alike, is that of exercising a bit of fantasy, dressing up in costumes and having fun "trick or treating" around the neighborhood. To many, this is what Halloween is about, without any connection to occult or pagan practices. I have a hard time saying that there is anything wrong with this.
Let me give an illustration: We know the source and heritage of Christmas. We also know that for many people, Christmas is a very non-religious holiday. People give Christmas their own meaning, regardless of its origins. We would never say that everyone who celebrates Christmas is a follower of Christ or honors God.
Halloween, I believe, is similar. People give Halloween their own meaning, regardless of its origins. Consequently, because people participate in Halloween, does not necessarily mean they are promoting or encouraging occult or pagan practices and beliefs.
Whatever conviction you hold about participating in Halloween, live it out for God’s glory! In all these things, a person should follow his or her own convictions, while understanding that Christians may differ in their beliefs about this issue. So, if you run into those fellow believers who differ from your stance on Halloween, give them freedom to live out their own convictions. The Apostle Paul said it this way, “Who are you to condemn God’s servants? They are responsible to the Lord, so let him tell them whether they are right or wrong. The Lord’s power will help them do as they should.” (Romans 14:4 NLT)
Going Deeper:
1. Responding to today’s culture can lead to two extremes: either isolating oneself entirely from the culture or immersing oneself totally in the culture without using any discernment. How can either of these extremes be destructive to God’s work your life?
2. What do you believe about participating in Halloween and why?
