Boys & Girls are earning Games, X box's, Facebook Credits, Game Time and more online

There is a new growing trend taking place in the younger generation where they are racking up points to buy the tings they want instead of dipping into their parent's pockets.

 

As money for alot of families, single mums and dads is getting tougher to survive to make that dollar stretch further in todays economy and their's X-mas just around the corner kids are looking for ways to make money. One of these ways is boy's and girls are earning points online to buy new X box's, ps3,Wii, console games, Facebook credits, mobile phones, kindles, PC/Laptops & parts, Amazon and Wallmart gift cards and cash! but there is much much more.

But one of the biggest is that game time subscription or buying those game time cards for those online multi player games (MMORPG) like World of Warcraft, TERA where your kids are earning their way to play, learning the cost of money. It's a great way for them to pay their own way to make some extra points or money for what they want to buy. The surprising thing is that it's not just to kids and teenagers doing this single parents are using it too, to earn products they want as well. With X-mas just around the corner it's also giving parents that bit extra to make some cash or buy items online for those presents under the tree.

Obama, tear down this wall of fear!

A few minutes of surfing the Internet quickly reveals a disturbing trend: Americans are becoming increasingly fearful of the one institution that they have held with some degree of contempt since the nation’s founding, and that is their very government.
The cloud now hanging over America’s national mood is more understandable when we consider the escalation of events over the past decade. Somewhere between the clunky bookends of the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001 and Edward Snowden’s NSA revelations of 2013, the United States began to appear less of a democratic superpower and more a repressive kingdom of fear, a neurotic empire of anxiety that trusts nobody, least of all itself.
Despite efforts to blame America’s slow-motion nervous breakdown on the Great Recession of 2008, that diagnosis shoots wide of the mark.  Nevertheless, it can’t be denied that the government’s massive bailout of the bankers and corporations has created a level of political cynicism throughout America - and the world - that lacks historic parallels. At the very least, it rammed home the ugly truth that politicians are more comfortable in bed with corporate lobbyists than in Congress defending the rights of the taxpayers.

Jim DePersia Finds Testicle-Eating Pacu Fish In Cedar Lake, Ill.

Fisherman Jim DePersia thought he found a piranha in the waters of Cedar Lake, Ill., but it was something almost as nutty: A testicle-eating fish called a pacu.

DePersia, 64, hooked the bizarre fish in the lake near his home. One look at its sharp teeth and immediately he thought he'd reeled in the fearsome Amazonian species. It was a big one, weighing nearly seven pounds and measuring about 20 inches in length.
“As I came up and looked at it, I thought I knew my fish and this is a huge monster,” he told CBS Chicago.

The freaky-looking fish was actually a pacu, a cousin of the piranha that has been known to mistake human testicles for tree nuts, a staple of its diet.
In 2011, two men in New Guinea reportedly died from blood loss after a pacu devoured their treasured family jewels, the Metro reported. Pacus are tropical fish so it's likely that DePersia's catch was dumped in the lake by a collector.
DePersia plans to have a ball with his surprise.

Most venomous spider in the world found in supermarket bananas

Consi Taylor was halfway through a banana when she saw a white spot on the skin, which she thought was a patch of mold. That thought is gross enough, but then the "spot" burst open and baby spiders started scurrying across the fruit (and here's where we threw up in our mouths a little). The British woman told the staff at Sainsbury's supermarket about their spider-infested offerings and they gave her a $15 coupon. But when she sent a picture of the spiders to a pest-control company, things got REALLY scary.

Taylor was told that those unwanted little nasties could be Brazilian Wandering Spiders, which have been called the most venomous spiders in the world. According to SKY News, those particular arachnids can be "extremely aggressive" and a bite from them can "trigger loss of muscle control, breathing problems, paralysis and eventual asphyxiation." Sainsbury's not only apologized to the family, but put them up in a hotel and paid for their entire home to be fumigated. So, apples are pretty great this time of year, huh? [Source]

Smog in China now a national security threat! new technology needed...

SMOG is becoming not just a health issue in China - it is also a national security threat.

The South China Morning Post reports that last month visibility in Harbin was so bad that visibility was at just 3 metres.
Experts are concerned that terrorists may choose smoggy days to launch attacks.
Kong Zilong, a senior project engineer with Shenzhen Yichengan Technology, said the security devices that could function in heavy smogs had yet to be invented.
Even infrared imaging is useless because the smog is so thick the particles are blocking light completely.
"According to our experience, as the visibility drops below three metres, even the best camera cannot see beyond a dozen metres," he said.
