Fake Money Stolen From Thai Bank - Yahoo! News
Fake Money Stolen From Thai Bank - Yahoo! News:
BANGKOK, Thailand - Three teenage robbers in Thailand have been arrested after a sharp-eyed street vendor noticed they were trying to spend fake money ? that had been stolen from a bank ? police said.
The two 15-year-old boys and a 16-year-old girl broke into the Siam Commercial Bank in the seaside resort of Pattaya early Monday, making off with a bundle of notes and mobile telephones, said police Maj. Sutham Chaosithong.
But the teens' haul also included a stack of fake bank notes, Sutham said.
Branch manager Kitiphol Kramwong said the bank had detected 30 fake notes in the past week, marked them as such, and left them in an easy-to-access drawer ? which robbers had pilfered. It was not clear whether they realized they had stolen fake money.
While police were inspecting the scene of the crime, they were told that vendors at a nearby market had caught the three teenagers trying to buy goods with forged money, Sutham said Tuesday.
The young suspects have since been detained at a social welfare detention center pending a juvenile court ruling on the case, he said.
Pattaya, 110 kilometers (70 miles) southeast of Bangkok, is a beach town popular with Thai and foreign tourists.

Adab dalam meminang
DARIPADA Ibnu Umar, katanya, Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda bermaksud: "Jangan kamu beli barang yang sedang ditawar oleh saudaramu; jangan kamu pinang wanita yang sedang dipinang saudaramu, melainkan apabila telah diizinkannya." (Hadis riwayat Muslim)
- Khitbah dalam bahasa Arab bererti bertunang. Ia mukadimah atau permulaan kepada az-zawaj (bahasa Arab) kepada nikah atau kahwin.
- Allah menjadikan khitbah antara syariat/perundangan dalam Islam. Hikmahnya untuk memberi peluang berkenalan dengan pasangan masing-masing sebelum bernikah atau berkahwin.
- Hukum khitbah adalah harus, tetapi mengikut Imam Syafie (rujuk buku Mughni Almuhtaj) hukumnya adalah "al-istihbab (sunat). Dr Abd. Karim Zaidan (buku Almufassal fi Ahkam Al Mar'ah) mengatakan bahawa hukumnya adalah sunat iaitu lebih aula utama daripada hukum harus tadi.
- Khitbah adalah dilarang bagi seseorang wanita yang telah dipinang orang lain. Begitu juga dilarang membeli barang yang dalam urusan jual beli orang lain. Hal ini untuk menjaga kehormatan dan mengelak daripada berlaku perebutan dan pergaduhan selain daripada menjaga keharmonian dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat.

`Bigfoot' dipercayai wujud di hutan Johor
JOHOR Bahru 23 Dis. - Ia dipanggil dengan pelbagai nama, antaranya ``Bigfoot'', ``Orang Mawas'' atau ``King Kong'' dan kewujudannya sering dianggap sebagai mitos tetapi bagi mereka yang pernah terserempak dengan makhluk tersebut, ia bukan lagi suatu bahan khayalan. Penasihat Persatuan Alam Malaysia (MNS) Johor Vincent Chow berkata, beliau yakin dengan kewujudan ``Bigfoot'' di hutan Johor dan ia dibuktikan dengan beberapa insiden orang ramai terserempak dengan makhluk itu.
``Ia (Bigfoot) memang wujud. Kami menerima banyak maklumat tentang insiden manusia terserempak dengan makhluk itu seperti di kawasan hutan di Tanjung Piai, Mersing, Kahang, Taman Negara Endau Rompin dan Kota Tinggi.
``Ia (insiden terserempak) bukanlah sesuatu perkara yang baru. Malah saya menganggapnya (Bigfoot) sebagai suatu perkara unik dan khazanah fauna hutan Johor. Kita perlu mengambil langkah untuk melindunginya,'' katanya kepada Bernama di sini, hari ini.
Menurut Chow, dalam insiden terbaru bulan lepas di Kampung Mawai, Kota Tinggi, tiga orang pekerja yang sedang membina kolam ikan di kampung tersebut mendakwa terserempak dengan satu keluarga makhluk itu.
Pekerja tersebut katanya mendakwa, keluarga ``Bigfoot'' yang mereka lihat itu terdiri daripada dua dewasa dan satu anak dan membuktikan teori bahawa makhluk ini tidak mempunyai suatu komuniti tetapi bergerak di dalam satu keluarga.
Selepas insiden itu, para pekerja kolam ikan tersebut kembali semula ke tempat kejadian di mana mereka telah menemui kesan tapak kaki makhluk bersaiz kecil dan besar, sepanjang 45cm, menurutnya.
``Kewujudan kesan tapak kaki pelbagai saiz itu membuktikan kemungkinan apa yang mereka (pekerja) lihat itu sememangnya satu keluarga `Bigfoot'. Dakwaan mereka tentang penemuan itu adalah berwibawa,'' kata Chow.
Beliau menganggarkan bahawa makhluk tersebut mempunyai ketinggian di antara lapan hingga 10 kaki berdasarkan kepada ketinggian bahagian ranting pokok yang patah di tempat makhluk itu ditemui dan memiliki bulu berwarna keperangan berdasarkan penemuan bulu dipercayai milik haiwan itu.
``Bulu yang ditemui itu juga memiliki bau seakan-akan bau ketiak manusia,'' katanya.
Penasihat MNS Johor itu juga berkata, beberapa insiden penemuan Orang Asli Empan a/p Melai, 5, yang hilang selama enam hari di Hutan Simpan Lenggor awal bulan ini ketika bersama-sama keluarga mencari rotan di hutan itu.
``Adik saya nampak `King Kong', tinggi dan lengannya besar, sebesar batang pokok dan berbulu hitam. Dia lari apabila nampak (King Kong) itu,'' kata abangnya Awin a/l Sentok, 25, kepada pemberita di Balai Polis Daerah Kluang selepas adik serta dua sepupunya berumur empat tahun itu ditemui oleh pasukan penyelamat.
Chow berkata, pihak MNS Johor bersedia untuk menjalankan kajian saintifik mengenai kewujudan ``Bigfoot'' di hutan negeri itu bagi memperoleh lebih banyak data terperinci tentang haiwan itu.
Data yang lebih terperinci tentang makhluk itu katanya, akan membolehkan usaha-usaha pemuliharaan dan perlindungan ``Bigfoot'' yang turut dikenali sebagai ``Hantu Jarang Gigi'' oleh masyarakat Orang Asli di situ.
Beliau juga berharap, Jabatan Antropologi universiti-universiti tempatan dan kerajaan negeri Johor turut serta dalam kajian saintifik itu.
``Ia (Bigfoot) boleh menjadi tarikan besar pelancong ke negeri Johor,'' kata Chow sambil menambah, isu sama ada makhluk itu benar-benar wujud atau tidak merupakan ``suatu yang amat besar'' di Eropah dan Amerika Syarikat. - Bernama

The Star Online : DVM launches Genico broadband telephony
The Star Online : TechCentral - Malaysia Technology:
DVM Technology Bhd has come up with a new broadband telephony solution known as Genico Broadband Telephony, which they claim is the first complete class of carrier-grade broadband Internet Protocol (IP) telephony solution suite.
Although it has been in service for several months, DVM only officially launched it last week.
They are offering the solution suite to telcos, mobile operators, network service providers and Internet service providers in various countries.
DVM Technology executive director Chen Chee Peng said that the suite is complete because it comes with back-end systems, middleware and front-end clients.
?Being complete is a very important distinction in the telco industry as other solutions are focused only on the back-end or front-end,? he continued, adding that this contributes to efforts in branding Malaysia as a technology exporter.
He claims that the suite, which uses globally accepted communication standards like Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) RFC3261 and Internet Protocol Multimedia Services (IMS), can be used like a ?plug-in? while preserving existing telco infrastructures.
?The suite is interoperable with major types of SIP-compliant voice gateways in the market. This speaks enormous volumes about its ability to fit in any telco's infrastructure,? said DVM chief technology officer Owen Chen.
For consumers, DVM demonstrated their end-user application LiveContact using Jaring as the service provider to show it can be used to enable two-way voice and video communication with most standard communication devices.
?LiveContact enables voice calls to be made or received from PCs, Global System for Mobile (GSM), and fixed-line phones. In addition, it offers voice and video conferencing between PCs, PDAs, GSM and fixed-line phones,? Owen said.
For example, a person using a PC can call someone on mobile phone and vice-versa ? if either device has a camera, then voice conferencing can also be enabled.
LiveContact is only available for Windows-based PCs currently, but DVM plans to release versions for PDAs and 3G phones next year.

Music Search
Some of our specialized searches can deliver a subset of results at the top of the page which highlight the most relevant information for that kind of query. For example, a stock quote search will yield a chart at the top of the results. Or look for a current film and see theatre showtimes up front.

Polite Bank Robber Waits to Be Arrested - Yahoo! News
Polite Bank Robber Waits to Be Arrested - Yahoo! News:
BUFFALO, N.Y. - A polite bank robber was ordered evaluated at a Buffalo hospital after taking $50 and waiting for police to arrest him.
"Please give me $50 so I can go to jail," the 32-year-old man's note to a teller said. "No one will get hurt and I will wait for the police outside. Sorry for the inconvenience."
The teller complied and the man calmly waited in the lobby of the HSBC Bank branch to be arrested Wednesday, police said.
The man's name was not immediately released by police. The results of the evaluation were not available early Thursday.
Ini kisah orang sakit mental yang minat MAWI
Satu hari seorang pengawal membuat rondaan disetiap bilik orang sakit mental, dalam rondaannya dia terdengar nyanyian yang merdu walupun tak bunyi macam suara Mawi tapi suaranya memang hebat dengan suaranya yang tersendiri mengalunkan lagu Intifada.
Kata pengawal itu dalam hatinya,"tak sangka ada juga orang yang sakit mental ni boleh menyanyi dengan hebat. Ingatkan radio atau kaset yang dipasang oleh pengawal yang lain." Sambil melihat dari luar pesakit tu menyanyi sambil telentang di atas katilnya.
Pengawal terus melalui bilik itu dan berjalan terus untuk meronda kebilik2 pesakit yang lain. Setelah selesai pengawal berpatah balik. Apabila sampai ke bilik pesakit mental yang menyanyi tadi ia masih menyanyi tetapi kali ini lagu aduh saliha pulak.
Dia menyanyikan! nya memang hebat, bagus sekali tone suaranya, cuma dia sakit mental aje kalau tak boleh buat album....tapi kali ini dia menyanyikan lagu aduh saliha tu dalam keadaan meniarap, lagu intifada yang mula2 tadi terlentang? pengawal tu hairan dan bertanya pada pesakit mental tu...
"kenapa kamu menyanyi meniarap? tadi terlentang?" Jawab pesakit mental tu.....
"Tadi SIDE A...ini SIDE B lah pulak...."
Pengawal tupun beredar dari situ dan berkata dalam hatinya.."betul jugak"
Hehehehe ...

Banjir punya cerita
mydia: banjir terkini:
perjalanan ku...: banjir oh banjir 1:
perancang: DUNIA DAH NAK KIAMAT:
Just Shut Up and Play Football: today vs yesterday:
http://mypolaris.blogdrive.com:
hari-hari mak cikgu dok depan radio, dengar liputan banjir.
dia risau kalau-kalau air bah akan sampai ke kola.
makcik kpb berjaya sudah ambil langkah berjaga-jaga:
semua barang elektrik disimpan di tingkat atas rumah.
setakat pagi ni, jalan hutan kampung, jalan bukit pinang,
kawasan titi gajah, titi besi, ltsah, taman golf, penjara, anak bukit masih ada air bah.
depa kata 'air mati'. air tak boleh surut sebab tak dak air pasang.
ada kata stadium pun bah, bolasepak malam ni mungkin dibatalkan,
tapi, rupanya stadium kangar. lega peminat hijau kuning.
ramai yang sms tanya rumah cikgu ok ka?
alhamdulillah..... sungai kedah tak melimpah.
thank you for the concern. :)
perjalanan ku...: banjir oh banjir 1:
pagi ni aku meluangkan sedikit waktu meninjau sekitar bandaraya alor star,anak bukit dan pantai johor.hajat hati nak tengok sendiri keadaan banjir yang menenggelami sebahagian besar negeri jelapang padi.ungkapan ini aku pinjam dari laporan akhbar utusan malaysia hari ini.
dari tinjauan aku air semakin naik.sekitar jalan tambang badak,lebuhraya darulaman dekat muzium dan restoran mamak Ahmediah(tempat makan kegemaran aku dan batman)dah mula digenangi air.tapi masih belum ditutup kepada lalu lintas terutama untuk kenderaan kecil seperti kancil.
aku terus perjalanan menuju ke pantai johor dan niat terunggul aku untuk menziarahi guruku di anak bukit.disebelah kiri jalan rumah rumah digenangi air separas lutut.termasuklah rumah kawan ku Datuk Paduka Abdul Rahman Ibrahim,sekarang setiausaha parlimen kementerian hal ehwal dalam negeri,yang kedudukannya dibelakang KMC.kediaman resmi menteri besar kedah juga dilimpahi air dibelakang dan hadapan kira kira satu kaki.
perancang: DUNIA DAH NAK KIAMAT:
Selepas hujan selama 3 hari berturut2 minggu lepas, rupanya datang 1 lagi musibah di Kedah dan Perlis ; banjir melanda. Di Jitra, dan area Suka Menanti (Pumpong) serta Padang Terap sudah dinaiki air. Ramai kawan2 aku yg tinggal area tu cuti bencana. Kesian pun ada, sebab tahu2 je lah bila banjir ni, bukan sedikit barang yang rosak. Setakat perabot tu boleh tahan lagi. Barang elektrik yg jadi kegunaan harian ni, rosak, susah juga. Kemusnahan berlaku di mana2. Tempat tinggal aku buat masa ni masih selamat.

Setting up an auto-responder in Outlook Express
Here are some instructions and tips that should help you set it up.
There are three parts to this process.
1. Create the response message.
2. Create an Outlook Express rule.
3. Link the message to the rule.
Let's create the message first.
The easiest way to do this is to use Notepad in your Accessories folder (START- Programs- Accessories- Notepad).
Open the program, click "File" menu and then click "New".
The type in the response that you want to be emailed while you are away.
Write something like: "Hi and thanks for your e-mail. I am out of the office between (type in the dates you will be away). I won't be checking e-mail during that time. Rest assured that I have received your e-mail and it is safely in my inbox. I'll get back to you as soon as possible after my return."
Next you'll want to save the auto-response file to your hard drive. Let's call it "outofoffice" and place it in a folder called "email-files" on your main hard drive.
At the top of the window where you created the response e-mail, click the "File" menu and choose "Save As". A dialog box will pop open.
Create a folder called "email-files" to keep the auto-responder e-mail file in. Click on the pulldown box at the top of the dialog box and choose the "C:" drive. Then click on the "create new folder" icon (which looks like a file folder with a star exploding on its edge) at the top of the dialog box. A highlighted folder named "New Folder" will appear. Rename it to "email-files" and hit your "Enter" key. Then double click on the newly created folder to go into it. Make sure it says "outofoffice" in the "File name" field. Click the Save button. Your auto-responder file is now ready to go.
Save your response message in this new folder. It will be created as a TXT file. So you'll end up with a file called outofoffice.txt in the "c:\email-files" folder.
A note to advanced users, you could also create the message in HyperText MarkUp Language as you would a Web page. Part two of the process involves creating an e-mail rule.
In Outlook Express, click the "Tools" menu, click "Message Rules" and choose "Mail". A four-part dialog box will pop up.
Under "1. Select Conditions for your rule" scroll to the bottom of the list and add a check mark to "For all messages".
Under "2. Select Actions for your rule", check off "Reply with message".
Under "3. Rule description" the follow items will now be listed:
Apply this rule after the message arrives:
For all messages
Reply with message
You'll notice that the word "message" in the last line is underscored. Click on it and a dialog box will open. In the "files of type box", choose "Text (*.txt)".
If all goes well your "outofoffice.txt" file will be there. If not click the pulldown menu and choose the "C:" drive, then go into the "email-files" folder. Select the "outofoffice.txt" file and click the "Open" button.
You'll go back to the "New Mail Rule" dialog box that you created the rules in. Under the item "4. Name of the rule" enter a description of what the rule does. You can simply call it "Out of the Office".
The rule is now set up. So click OK. You'll see the rule with a check mark next to it now listed in the "Message Rules" dialog box. When you're in the office uncheck that box. When you're heading out of the office put a check mark next to it to activate it.
To find the rule again and change it, from the "Tools" menu, choose "Message Rules" then "Mail". Select the rule by clicking on it and click the "Modify" button.
Just like you'd update an answering machine message, you also need to keep you auto-responder up to date.
