How to create fire from dried bamboo | How to create a fire without a match.

The following are the things and the steps you need to create a fire without using a match or by using just a dried bamboo.
To create a fire these are the things you need:
1.Dried bamboo stick.
2.Knife

Well, the first that you'll need to do create a fire out of these materials is split the bamboo down the middle. One piece will serve as the saw while the other piece will serve as the saw board.
Use the knife to scratch the rounded portion of the bamboo piece that serves as the saw board. Collect the scratched dust and when you have enough place them at the hollow portion of the saw board. Notch a line on the curve portion of the saw board using the knife. This line will serve as your guide.
Get the piece of bamboo that serves as the saw. Saw the other piece using the line as a guide. See to it theat the saw dust is placed right below the line you've just created. In a minute you will feel the bamboo stick heating up. Continue sawing until the saw dust starts to glow. Transfer the glowing dust to a group of scraps to create a camp fire.
You can also use cotton instead of saw dust.

Death of Trina Etong Failon : Suicide or Parricide ?

Is the death of Trina Etong Failon a Suicide or Parricide? Last day the entire nation was shocked by the news about the death of the wife of one of the most popular personality in the Philippine news and broadcasting industry. I first heard the news when in a radio program and an unconfirmed report said that ted Failon killed his wife inside his car during the quarrel between them. I was so shocked that i could'nt believe what I just heard. How could Ted Failon do that? How could a gentle and honorable person do such brutal crime to his own wife?
However after several hours of listening to broadcast from tv and radio of the latest development, it became clear that Trina Etong was not shot inside the car of Ted Failon but was shot inside the comfort room of Ted Failon's residence. This was suppported by the evidence found: a mark of bullet shot inside the c.r. and the blood stains scattered on the wall according the a test conducted by the investigators. However, what makes this case so complicated is the cleaning and removal of the evidence on the crime scene. It is said that this was done unintentionally by the maids in of the household. This does not only make the case hard to solve but also increases the suspicion that Ted Failon or some member of the family is involved in the crime.
Based on the latest development I believe that Trina Etong committed suicide and there was no parricide thing that happpened. Based on the evidence that a gunshot was found on the right and left side "sintido" of the victim. The direction of the bullet is almost perpendicular to the head which means that before the gun was shot it was well positioned on the head. Most of the time it only happens to victims of suicide because this is almost the instinct of the person committing a suicide using a gun. A man who attempts to kill himself using a gun most of the time, as an instinct, points the perpendicular to his head. Another position is to point the gun inside his mouse. However, pointing the gun perpendicular to one's head is almost the natural way. It is very unlikely that Ted Failon pointed the gun on that perfect position and shot his wife. Chances are when somebody shot a person the victim will very less likely to get hit on the side of his head especially the "sintido" but on the front portion of the head or the back.
Another thing that convinced me that suicide happened is the account of Trina's friend. Trina's friend admitted that trina told her about her problem and that she is ready to die right after her daughter's graduation. It is very unlikely that her friend is lying or is being paid to tell a lie. She looks professional decent and educated. The maids are less likely to be a part of the conspiracy. From my expercience, being invloved in a conspiracy that involves this type of crime is far complicated for them. Chances are the maids will tell the truth that being involved in this complex and dangerous case.
That said, suicide was the cause of her death.

Who will win Manny Pacquiao or Ricky Hatton?

The next biggest fight in the history of boxing will happen on May 02, 2009. Manny pacquiao and Ricky Hatton will face in the greatest fight of their lives. And the greatest question is who will be crowned the best pound for pound king of the world. Pacquaio and Hatton both have this reputation. Pacquaio has tremendous power but so is Hatton. Pacquiao is relentless but Hatton has high endurance.
So who has the odds on his side? Who is more likely to win based on the previous performanse of the fighters? in my personal opinion, Hatton is more likely to win. First he is fighting in his most comfortable weight and he has only lost once to mayweigther. Hatton is strong and powerful. His punches strike like a steel ball. Most importantly Hatton won most of his fights convincingly. As for Manny Pacquiao, he has fights that are less convincing and controversial. Pacquiao surely lost his fight with Marquez on their last fight. It was very clear that Marquez was cheated on the score cards. Though Marquez hit the canvas, it was not strong enough to weaken him. He was still able to get up and manage to recover to hit more jabs on Pacquiao's face. If Pacquiao found it hard to beat Marquez, how can he beat Hatton who is bigger and stronger? You might argue that he can do it because he beat Oscar dela Hoya. Yes, he beat del Hoya but during the pacquaio was not hit hard by de Hoya. If dela Hoya had landed just single strong punch on pacquaio's face the fight should been already over. Pacquiao is weak when hit hard. When pacquaio was punished by light jabs from marquez, Pacquiao started losing his rhythm and strategy. Pacquiao is only good when he hits his opponent's face consecutively but when he starts getting punches from his opponent he starts to get confused on how to beat his opponent. He starts to get hesitant to make more offensives when he's beginning to recieve punishment. I would have given no doublt on pacquiao's victory in his coming fight against hatton had he stopped marquez in one of their fights.
