A beautiful Rose (Siggins)

Madami akong nawala sa blog roll ko dahil nadelete ko siya ng di ko sinasadya pero kong di mo nakita ang blogroll mo pakisabi naman sa akin kahit ayaw mo itong ilagay kasi mahalaga ka sa akin.

Isa na diyan si Rosemarie ng Rainbow box.Sa kakahanap ko ng link niya para maibalik sa blog roll ko pati si google kinunsulta ko para tulungan ako.Trying hard lang ba pero ito ang lumabas.

Ang kwento ni Rose Siggins. Nakakainspired siya. Ano pa ang erereklamo natin sa ating buhay kong merong mga ganitong tao sa paligid natin na mabubuhay ng masaya.

Share ko lang.

Born with a rare genetic disorder known as Sacral Agenesis, Rose had severely deformed legs with feet pointing in opposite directions. There was no feeling in the legs and, as a child, she was in danger of harming herself. When she was two years old her mother, after consulting with the doctors at the hospital, decided that the best course of action was to have the legs amputated. This insightful decision by her mother allowed Rose to lead a fairly normal childhood.

Rose grew up, with her mentally handicapped brother, in Pueblo, Colorado. Rose believes her parents made the right choice as she cannot imagine being confined to a wheelchair. She describes her physical condition in her own way "If you take a Barbie doll and remove it's legs, the region you are left with is what I have. I have all the female working organs, the only reason I sit shorter or more compact, as people say, is because I'm missing four sections of my spinal olumn".

Father and Son -1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic

Isang anak na determinadong manalo sapagkat gusto niyang ihandog sa kanyang ama ang parangal na ito.

" Dad para sa iyo ang labang ito."

Ang di matawarang pagmamahal at suporta ng isang ama sa kanyang anak.

"Dito lang ako Anak kahit anong mangayari"

It happened in 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic. It was a very beautiful moment of love - father and son courage and determination to succeed.

Sila lang ba ang may karapatang magkaroon ng ganitong bonding moments.

Ano ang meron sila at ano ang wala ka at di mo ito magawa.

Ikaw ba ay isang ama or malapit ng maging tatay?.Makinig ka sa puso mo ngayon- Ano ang pinipintig nito sa para sayo?Gumawa kayo ng mga alaala(mga moments na ganito)na di niya makakalimutan hangat siya'y nabubuhay tunkol sayo.

Parang fathers day lang.

Wala lang, gusto ko lang matapos na ang pasaway kong post na dinaanan kahapon at ma inspired sa araw na ito.

Scam stole millions , pennies at a time

<
Have you been charged of a subscription or purchases via Internet you already canceled? It happened to me, and I called my credit card provider which then told me plainly that it’s not their problem and can’t do anything about it. I canceled my credit card and insist to provide me a new one and that stops that website from charging me. I can’t believe that could happen to anyone.

Yahoo news exposed a new Internet Scam that everyone should be aware.
Most of these charges are almost too little to notice but it is still the consumer’s duty to check them out. While complaining about such little charges seems trivial to most, as we can see from the article that these scams go into the millions of dollars. And If the card companies get enough complaints about the same places, maybe they can be prodded into checking them out. By watching out for ourselves, in the long run we are watching out for others also. And the reverse is also true, that other people’s complaining can help to save you money]
Read this story from Yahoo new. It’s a little longer but worth it to be informed.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has disrupted a long-running online scam that allowed offshore fraudsters to steal millions of dollars from U.S. consumers -- often by taking just pennies at a time.
The scam, which had been run for about four years, according to the FTC, provides a case lesson in how many of the online services used to lubricate business in the 21st century can equally be misused for fraud.
"It was a very patient scam," said Steve Wernikoff, a staff attorney with the FTC who is prosecuting the case. "The people who are behind this are very meticulous."
The FTC has not identified those responsible for the fraud, but in March, it quietly filed a civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Illinois. This has frozen the gang's U.S. assets and also allowed the FTC to shut down merchant accounts and 14 "money mules" -- U.S. residents recruited by the criminals to move money offshore to countries such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Estonia.
"We're going to aggressively seek to identify the ultimate masterminds behind this scheme," Wernikoff said. According to him, the scammers found loopholes in the credit card processing system that allowed them to set up fake U.S. companies that then ran more than a million phony credit card transactions through legitimate credit card processing companies.
Wernikoff doesn't know where the scammers obtained the credit card numbers they charged, but they could have been purchased from online carder forums, black market Web sites where criminal buy and sell stolen information.
Small Thefts Overlooked
The scammers stayed under the radar by charging very small amounts -- typically between $0.25 and $9 per card -- and by setting up more than 100 bogus companies to process the transactions.
U.S. consumers footed most of the bill for the scam because, amazingly, about 94 percent of all charges went uncontested by the victims. According to the FTC, the fraudsters charged 1.35 million credit cards a total of $9.5 million, but only 78,724 of these fake charges were ever noticed. Typically they floated just one charge per card number, billing on behalf of made-up business names such as Adele Services or Bartelca LLC.
As credit cards are increasingly being used for inexpensive purchases -- they're now accepted by soda machines and parking meters -- criminals have cashed in on the trend by running this type of unauthorized charging scam.
"They know that most of the fraud detection systems won't detect anything under $10 and they know that consumers won't complain about a 20 cent fee," said Avivah Litan, an analyst with the Gartner research firm who follows bank fraud. "What's different here is the scale, and that they got away with it for so many years," she said.
Similar Cases Show Trend
In March Alexsandr Bernik of Roseville, California, was sentenced to 70 months in prison for running a similar scam. He put tens of thousands of charges on Amex accounts, each ranging from $9 to $15. Neither federal authorities nor American Express would explain how Bernik obtained his card numbers.
Bernik made his charges on behalf of a fictional corporation called Lexbay Ltd., but in the FTC case, the scammers would mimic legitimate companies -- taking real federal tax I.D. numbers and then setting up fake businesses with nearly identical names that appeared to be located nearby. In a move that apparently tricked credit card processors into granting it a merchant account, Adele Services, for example, was set up to mimic a legitimate Bronx, New York group called Adele Organization.
When the scammers tried to register merchant accounts with credit card processors, the processors would do some investigating, but using tricks like these, the scammers were always one step ahead.
In fact, the FTC's description of their operation reads like a textbook on how to set up a fake virtual corporation in the Internet age.
The criminals used a range of legitimate business services to make it appear to credit card processors as though they were legitimate U.S. companies, even though the scammers may have never set foot in the U.S.
For example, using a company called Regus, they were able to give their fictional companies addresses that were very close to the companies whose tax IDs they were stealing. Regus lets companies operate "virtual offices" out of a number of prestigious addresses throughout the U.S. -- the Chrysler Building in New York for example -- forwarding mail for as little as US$59 per month.
Mail sent to Regus locations was then forwarded to another company, called Earth Class Mail, which scans correspondence and uses the Internet to deliver it to customers in pdf format.
They used another legitimate virtual business service -- United World Telecom's CallMe800 -- to have phone calls forwarded overseas. To further make it seem as though their companies were legitimate, the scammers would set up fake retail Web sites. And when credit card processors asked them to provide information about company executives, they handed over legitimate names and social security numbers, stolen from ID theft victims.
When they had to log into payment processor Web sites, they would do this from IP addresses that were located near their virtual offices, again evading payment processor fraud detection services.
One of the largest payment processors in the U.S., First Data, was a favorite of the scammers. Of the 116 fake merchant accounts the FTC uncovered, 110 were with First Data. The scammers also set up bogus accounts with Elavon and BBVA Compass.
First Data would not comment on the measures it had taken to improve its merchant vetting process, but the company did confirm that it cooperated with the FTC investigation.
Aided by 'Mules'
To get the money out of the U.S., the scammers had to recruit money mules. These were U.S. residents who were recruited online, often with spam e-mail messages. Under the impression that they were helping offshore businesses, the money mules set up bank accounts and helped the fraudsters move money offshore.
In a letter to the judge presiding over the case, one of the mules, James P. Smith of Brownwood, Texas, says he worked for one of the scammers for four years without realizing that anything illegal was going on. Smith now says he is "ashamed" to be named in the FTC action, and offers to help catch his former boss, who used the name Alex Moore.
The FTC's Wernikoff believes that whoever is responsible for this crime lives outside of the U.S., but with the money-cashing operation now busted up, the scammers will have to start again from scratch, if they want to keep bilking consumers. And criminal investigators now have a trail to follow.
"Does it prevent the people from ultimately responsible from building up again from scratch?" he asked. "No. But we do hope that this seriously disrupts them.".
