July 1st, 2010 No comments

Chinese product often get mixed reactions from the customers all over the world. Some people do not give much significance to the Chinese products such as car DVD, TV Video and so on due to some or the other reasons. but there are others who owe high significance to these ‘Made in China’ products due to their efficiency to survive in testing situations. Most probably this sadistic yet hopeful story of Marcos could help the people get motivated to buy the Chinese products more often.

Marcos Florio in Chile bought a Chinese DVD player based in Hong Kong, named Eonon. He was in a dilemma whether to buy a famous brand or an Eonon DVD player which he has never heard of before. But after some online research, seeing reviews and referring to Ebay, he found it almost the largest brand in china in the car audio industry. Besides, the price was also much cheaper, it nearly saved him about 200 bucks to buy one with the same function. So he placed an order that was delivered to him within 5 days. Fast delivery! To his surprise, the product was nice and of high quality.

It was for the entire one month that Marcos enjoyed the Eonon car DVD player uninterruptedly until that unusual calamity happened. One dark night, the whole Chile was jolted by a severe earthquake. All the electricity supply was affected and their was no light anywhere. The houses it seemed had no control on themselves and felt recklessly as if they are just the mere paper work. Marcos’ house too was turned down to debris and he had no idea where to go with his family.

Until now, their country still doesn’t fully normalized the electricity and internet now. He still have to use it as his last life-saving straw to keep them connected. He express his great appreciation to Eonon Facebook fan page with an installation photo: “Hello, this is my car radio, installed in my SUV Ford Ecosport and was my only contact in both, radio and tv after the earthquake that occurred in my country. I am very grateful for having been able to have news through”.

That miserable situation of Chile remained intact for a long time and during all this period, Marcos and the people around him had only the the Eonon car DVD to know about the world. He posted a note on the Eonon Facebook fan citing his touching story and the role of the car DVD player installed in his car in it. Overwhelmed by his story, the company Sunbobo Digital Company Limited requested the entire staff to collect money for the aid of the affected people in Chile. With such a brave and caring effort they have made the whole world proud without caring for the boundaries and limitations. So the next time you plan to buy an electronic product, don’t forget this moving story that bring much respect and glory to the ‘Made in China’ products.

The Legacy Of Japan’s Pro Wrestling Icon Mitsuharu Misawa

July 1st, 2010 No comments

Mitsuharu Misawa died in Hiroshima, Japan earlier this year less than a week before his 47th birthday. Akitoshi Saito hit a back suplex on Misawa, which appeared to knock him unconscious. Medical staff attempted to revive him in the ring, but when CPR failed he was taken to a hospital by ambulance. Initial reports in the Japanese media suggest that he was pronounced dead at the hospital, but a number of eyewitness accounts have speculated that he may have died in the ring.

There’s at least a small bit of solace in the fact that he died in the ring doing what he loved, and what he did better than just about anyone on the planet. Misawa’s last moments were spent working the kind of brutally stiff, athletically realistic match that got a generation hooked on Japanese wrestling.

A top level amateur wrestler in high school, his skill gained the attention of All Japan Pro Wrestling president Shohei Giant Baba. He made his professional debut in’81, and got his first big break in’84 when he was chosen as the second Tiger Mask replacing Satoru Sayama. In’90, he had his longtime tag team partner (and occasional rival) Toshiaki Kawada unmask him.

Misawa would wrestle as himself from then on, and become an even bigger star in the process. In June,’90 he became one of the top stars in All Japan Pro Wrestling when he defeated Jumbo Tsuruta. That match was his first main event appearance at the venue Cheap Trick made famous in America, the Nippon Budokan. He soon faced Triple Crown Champion Stan Hansen in an unsuccessful challenge for the title, and would become arguably the biggest native star in Japanese pro wrestling for the next decade.

Hed have legendary battles against Kawada, Hansen, Kenta Kobashi, Jun Akiyama and Steve Dr. Death Williams in singles competition. Hed also become a force on the tag team scene along with Kawada facing Williams and Terry Gordy along with Tsuruta and Akira Taue. Misawa would continue as a mainstay in AJPW until the early part of this decade. After the death of Giant Baba, he repeatedly bumped heads with his widow over the companys direction and in 2000 quit to establish Pro Wrestling NOAH. He would serve as the companys president while wrestling a full time schedule until his untimely death.

Japanese pro wrestling served as a gateway drug for many into shoot fight sports and MMA. Before the Internet, fans would trade videotapes to stay up on the latest matches from Japan and along with Jushin Thunder Liger and The Great Muta Keiji Mutoh it safe to say that Misawa is one of the wrestlers most responsible for getting a generation of American fans hooked on the product. For American fans at the time”and with the WWE at its creative low point”the All Japan and New Japan Pro Wrestling product was nothing short of a revelation.

Blazers Sign All Star Guard Roy To 5 Year Contract Extension

July 1st, 2010 No comments

After a summer of negotiational back and forth during which both sides indicated at various points that they were far apart and then making progress, the Portland Trailblazers have inked All Star shooting guard Brandon Roy to a five year contract extension. Roy will be in the final year of his rookie contract in the forthcoming NBA season, and securing the services of a player that did no less than turn around the franchise was the teams top summer priority.

The on court success and off court class of Brandon Roy may have saved the Portland NBA franchise. The Blazers slumped from their glory years of the 1970′s and 1980′s as the 1990′s progressed, eventually pulling together a roster consisting of character challenged reprobates that earned the moniker JailBlazers for their frequent legal transgressions.

In the late 1990′s, Portland owner Paul Allen finally had enough and cleaned house. The new management was given the charge to put together a roster that would not only win games, but win back the Rose City fans. The acquisition of Roy will likely be looked at as the turning point for this effort. The Blazers acquired Roy on draft day 2006 for Randy Foye, and would go on to win the NBAs rookie of the year award.

Since that point, Roy has become the face of the franchise. Roy has become the centerpiece of a talented young team had has not only become a force in the NBAs Western Conference but has gone a long way to winning back the Portland fan base. The current crop of Blazers is more likely to be found in the aisles at Home Depot or at Starbucks than in the police blotter, and the team seldom puts forth a substandard effort on the court.

Roys agent Bob Myers strongly suggested that Roy wanted to remain with the Blazers for his entire career, noting that he “is one of the unique players to have a chance to have that sort of relationship with one team.”

The team will now turn its attention to signing a long term deal with forward LaMarcus Aldridge. Like Roy, Aldridge is in the final year of his rookie contract and a key component to the teams recent success. At last report, talks between the two sides are progressing.

Business Opportunities – Here Are Some Ideas

July 1st, 2010 No comments

Back in the day, if you were considering new business opportunities, you could not do so without experiencing high anxiety due to the risk factors involved. There is a certain degree of stress which comes along with not only having to worry about a mortgage payment for your home, but also a rent and a small business loan payment. As a result, very few individuals were willing to take the plunge, even though they could have been extremely successful. Fast forward to the present day. The internet has presented us with a new set of business opportunities which do not require that we rent commercial property or take out a small business loan. Rather, these opportunities can be operated as a home based business, thus eliminating a great degree of financial risk. The purpose of this article is to illustrate to you some of the opportunities which are currently available to you.

1. Contract Website Design

Okay, a word of warning. You cannot simply become a website designer over night. Rather, it takes some training, and some skill. However, if this is a field in which you have some interest, then you are on the right track. The thing that you should realize at the outset is that you cannot just show up and start charging people $85 per hour. Rather, it is important that you build your portfolio. Chances are that you will need to keep your fees low in the beginning in order to prove that you are worthy of more. Once you have a respectable portfolio, you can expect to earn $65-$85 per hour.

2. Become an Online Consultant

If you have the skills to be a consultant in the nine to five world, there is no reason why you cannot apply those same skills to online business opportunities in consulting. There is no shortage of companies who are in need of those who can provide them with answers to make their business more profitable. With an online consulting company, you can limit your fixed costs, and undercut your competition.

3. Online Stores

If you have the ingenuity to create your own product, you now have the means to sell these products. Prior to the internet, many astute entrepreneurs were forced to shelve their innovations due to the fact that they did not have a platform from which to promote them. Whether the obstacles were the expense or the risk, both are virtually eliminated with the internet giving you the capacity to operate out of your home. The truth is that the start up costs of an online business is less that $200. This means that you have the opportunity to be in the profit very quickly.

4. Home Based Daycare Services

Perhaps you have driven by a house an have seen a sign in front which indicates that daycare is offered. Such a situation is what we are referring to with home daycare. Often times parents have determined that it would be more expensive to place their children in daycare and go to work, than it would be to stay at home and take care of the kids. In such a situation, the parent who stays at home can obtain the proper licensing to offer daycare services to the public. Just because one parent is relegated to the home, does not mean that they cannot generate a second income. The advantage to offering daycare out of one’s home is that you can offer better rates than other forms of childcare.

As you can see, we are surrounded by business opportunities which have presented themselves to us because of the internet. What is best for you is something that you will have to determine.

The truth is that if you are looking for Business Opportunities, they will come into being. There are plenty of opportunities which can be turned into a Home Based Business. Just be creative. Drop in and see what we do at SOSComplete.com
