Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

Super Mario Galaxy 2 appears to give Mario the magical ability to walk on clouds. Judging by this image from the Official Nintendo Magazine, these are the happiest clouds ever. They love being stepped on!
It's clear that Mario's return trip to the stars will have no shortage of new (and returning) gameplay gimmicks. In addition to floating in the sky, it seems Mario can also turn into a boulder, ride dinosaurs, and drill through planets. The only thing he can't seem to do is his job. What happened to that plumbing gig you had, huh? This leaky pipe isn't going to fix itself, you know.
[Thanks, Fernando!]

Preventing Teens From Asking "Am I Ugly?"
An alarming new trend among teens and tweens are a slew of YouTube videos they are posting of themselves titled "Am I Ugly?" This video got over 3 million hits. Notice the bevy of comments ranging from insults from kids to come-ons from pedophiles.
These children's naivete and insecurity are out there for the world to see. In this particular video, it is clear the girl is seeking compliments. She believes she is pretty and wants everyone to agree with her. But, how does a parent prevent their tween or teen from exposing themselves like this? We have seen kids harming themselves due to cyberbullying when they do not put themselves out there. Now, they are asking for the ridicule, not to mention exposing themselves to sickos that want to hurt them. As parents, how do we help them to make better choices and control some of this? Here are some of my tips that can help.
1. Parents need to learn social media
So many parents tell me they are clueless about social media, do not have a Facebook page and don't even know what Twitter is. There is no excuse for this. Parents need to educate themselves on how to use Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and any other social media their child uses.
2. Own the passwords
Parents must have all account passwords and should monitor texts, posts, and uploaded photos and videos. Being "friends" on Facebook is not enough because they can block you. You need to be able to get into their accounts.
3. Privacy settings
If your child posts to YouTube, go to the "Info and Settings" tab, scroll down to "Comments" and check off "Allow all comments with approval only." Your email should be attached to the account so you can personally monitor the comments. For Skype, only allow calls from contacts. For Facebook, be sure your kids do not have personal information on there and only allow friends to view their pages.
4. Remove inappropriate videos from Youtube
If your child has posted an "Am I Ugly" video, remove it immediately. Ask them why they felt the need to do this, what they were looking for, and show them the dangers of it.
5. Scare your kids
Educate your kids about the evil people in the world that want to harm children. Show them these videos and point out the comments that could be from pedophiles. Also, explain to your kids, once its posted on the Internet, it is in the cyber world forever. No comment even on your private Facebook page is private. Even deleted YouTube videos can be found.

Ok, at the first of this video it looked like Aikido and I was going to say I'm sure people "back in the day" and today think Aikido is stupid...then I hit 1:30 into the video and from that point on, I've got nothing. The stupid flips and jumping up and down again after contact is broken...I just don't see how people buy into this. It baffles me, it really does.ReplyDelete
And all this time i thought my ukemi was horrible...ReplyDelete
Obviously we were just watching what happens when you're able to get the offbalance every time. And i mean EVERY TIME. Even when uke is stationary and grounded. I'm sure we could learn a thing or two from these guys... like collecting money at the gate and no refunds.ReplyDelete
Recipient of the "World Tai Chi Internal Power Highest Gold Award" was the first hint that this was crap.ReplyDelete
Worst example of Dojo mind control I've ever seen. Take some pride in your brain washing folks! Make it look plausible. At least!
It kills me that so many people were in the video buying what this guy was selling!ReplyDelete
Boy, I bet they all felt stupid; they all wore the same dress!ReplyDelete
I'm not trying to be insensitive...but I think this has gotta be more than just the power of suggestion at work. If these people are truly buying this, I... don't think they have full mental capacity (I'm saying it as politely as I can).ReplyDelete
It would be a big relief to me if all those people were in on one heck of a practical joke on the sifu, or whatever he calls himself. That'd be great to see - 100 or so people convince some sap that he has some invincible chi power.
I'm really stupid for not starting a qi cult like this guy. It would have been so easy. :(ReplyDelete
Oh well, back to poverty.
Geez but that kinda thing makes my teeth hurt.ReplyDelete
This really appears to me to be an instance of religious hysterial fervor along the lines of this...ReplyDelete
there are probably several things in play here:
1) i dont think it would take but a handful of fakes and plants who are 'in on it' in order to control and manipulate this whole crowd of 60-100 folks.
2) after you pay 500 dollars or so to be part of this seminar, you _want_ to believe it is real or else you are both broke and stupid.
3) as someone (john?) mentioned, this started off looking something like real aikido, so there is probably _some_ physical subtlety going on here.
4) it's not hard for a skilled teacher to condition a handful of followers to jump around like this. All you have to do is show them that it is the acceptable social norm and punish them (via a severe throw or jointlock, etc...) when they don't conform to the norm.
and there's probably more...
The music killed me.ReplyDelete
I know everyone wants to believe in the good of humanity, but if you dive into Tibetan history they are all about putting black magic hexes on each other.
People get sucked in because they seek power over others--they want to get a leg up...(even if it means wearing a skirt).
And some people don't believe in witchcraft!
> it's not hard for a skilled teacher to condition a handful of followers to jump around like this. All you have to do is show them that it is the acceptable social norm and punish them (via a severe throw or jointlock, etc...) when they don't conform to the norm.ReplyDelete
1. That must be a large part of it. I've seen the hopping, but not the crazy spins.
2. Also, these folks do not seem like they are interested in martial arts whatsoever, judging both from the video and the web site, which is much more about Buddhism. The clothing is Tibetan Buddhist clothing, not any stranger than aikido clothes).
3. Part of me does believe there is something subtle going on as you mention in #3.
4. I find the mention of the award strange, though.

You've tipped your hand, my friend. Don't try that on me, I won't have it!
I can remember the conversations on Usenet ten years ago: "If that stuff was real, someone would have captured it on video by now."ReplyDelete
Now it is on video, free for anyone to watch--but it is obviously not real anyway. Cause, I dunno, we voted on it.
This is why people hate Aikido, they don't see a differenceReplyDelete
There is no difference between stupid aikido and stupid taichi - they are both stupid.
But it really doesn't take much effort to find a lot of difference between real aikido and real stupid (like in this video).
I agree, though, hippy aikido has given real aikido a black eye that it is hard to get past

If you have been wanting to look at Linux performance numbers for the
Intel Core i7
AMD Phenom II
processors, be sure to stop by
Phoronix Global
. While the PR departments at Intel and AMD seem to have no interest at all in their latest desktop processors on Linux, many users of this new hardware have provided their own benchmarks courtesy of the
Phoronix Test Suite
All of the Phenom II and Core i7 results can be found by searching for them from
this page
. There is everything from
Super PI results
disk tests
with the Core i7 and the new Intel X58 Express Chipset. A nice comparison can also be found
For those interested in the AMD Phenom II X4 940, there are
Linux benchmark results
comparing it to Intel Core i7 920 at various compilation, compression, and encryption tasks.
Directly for the AMD Phenom II X4 Linux numbers, there are some for
Unigine Tropics
, etc. There are also a number of entries using
overclocked Phenom IIs
If you are interested in comparing your system to an Intel Core i7 920 CPU with the Phoronix Test Suite, try running
phoronix-test-suite benchmark
. There is
also a comparison
of the Intel Core i7 to the AMD Athlon 64 X2 and Intel Core 2 Duo. Last but not least, there are results from a
Core i7 running at 3.6GHz
These links are just a few of the Intel Core i7 and AMD Phenom II numbers available on
Phoronix Global
for giving you a Linux look at the newest desktop processors. We will (finally) be delivering Intel Core i7 Linux and OpenSolaris benchmarks next week, after giving up on Intel's PR department having any interest in Linux and being forced to buy a Nehalem processor. On the AMD side, you can at least see our
AMD Shanghai Opteron
benchmarks with a
Linux vs. OpenSolaris comparison
If you wish to run your own Linux, OpenSolaris, BSD, or Mac OS X benchmarks, be sure to check out the
Phoronix Test Suite
and to share your results on Phoronix Global.

The Independent's British correspondent on the Middle East Robert Fisk says the Lebanese Army's clashes with militants in Arsal were "almost inevitable." (The Daily Star)
BEIRUT: The Independent's Middle East correspondent described Arsal's clashes as the start of a mini-civil war, the result of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria's expansion toward Lebanese territory.
"The savage fighters of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's Sunni Muslim "caliphate" have at last arrived in Lebanon," said Robert Fisk, in an analysis published Monday.
He described the violent clashes in Arsal, that have so far claimed the lives of 16 soldiers, 12 civilians and at least 50 extremist militants, as the spark of a mini-civil war in the town.
Fisk said that while media and public opinion switched their attention to "the slaughter in Gaza ... the Islamists' arrival in Lebanon and the prospect of a mini-civil war around Arsal – and perhaps as far as Tripoli – could have repercussions far graver than the Gaza war."
He highlighted the similarity between the Nusra Front's practices in Arsal and ISIS' strategies in Iraq and Syria, especially in terms of "seizing large buildings in the center of the town (in this case, the technical college, a hospital and a mosque) and clinging to them in the hope that their opponents would disintegrate."
In this vein, he remarked that Arsal's clashes had very similar results to those of the "Islamic victories in Iraq and Syria: reports of civilian executions, government soldiers taken hostage, at least 12 civilians confirmed dead, including five children and the prospect of long and bloody fighting ahead."
Fisk backed his comparison by mentioning that Nusra Front members are pledging allegiance to ISIS' "caliph" Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and that the takeover of Arsal, as confirmed by the Lebanese Army chief and prime minister, was meticulously planned and "is part of a far greater rebel strategy."
The article argued that the resurgence of extremist militants coming from Syria to Arsal demonstrated that "the Syrians have nothing like the control they have been claiming in the frontier lands," especially as the Nusra Front combatants "had no difficulty in seizing 15 soldiers and almost as many Internal Security Forces personnel."
Fisk said the Army-militants confrontation was "almost inevitable," especially after the state forces had recently killed the Sunni jihadist Monzer al-Hasan - who had reportedly equipped suicide bombers to attack Shiite neighborhoods and the Iranian embassy in Beirut's suburbs.
The killing of Al-Hasan, he explained, also followed the detention of Hussam al-Sabbagh, a Salafist militant who led Sunni militia forces in recent battles against Alawites in Tripoli.
According to Fisk, Sabbagh had fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya and Iraq against US forces and was "one of the few Tripoli leaders who refused to participate in a government security plan for the city."
However, the Beirut-based British journalist said "the Lebanese forces' units are among the best integrated of Middle East armies." The fact that the majority of its members are Sunni Muslims, he added, never prevented the Army from suppressing Sunni extremism. He mentioned the clashes of Sir al-Dinnieh in 2000 and Nahr al-Bared in 2007 as examples.

Conflict resolution 101
"Disputes with your bank are bound to trigger strong emotions," said Daniel Bortz at US News. But before you blow up, think about the smartest approach. You'll "have a greater chance of success" by minding your manners with customer-service representatives. If you don't have the patience to wait on hold, call during off-peak hours — Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. While a phone call is fast, direct, and better for complex issues, give tweeting a try too; "it's public, which means the bank will likely work quickly to remedy the situation." And be organized — keep copies of receipts and statements, and take notes on whom you speak with and when. "Keeping track of the communication is something we should be doing with any type of dispute," said Greg McBride, a financial analyst at Bankrate.com.
Taxes for the self-employed
Paying Uncle Sam when you're self-employed "can be hard to get used to," said Farnoosh Torabi at Yahoo. A good rule of thumb is to set aside 40 percent from each paycheck. "This is a gross overestimate for many freelancers," but it will help make sure you don't fall short when it's time to pay the piper. A quarterly schedule to pay taxes can be wise because "it forces you to stay on top of your financial records throughout the year." Remember to keep receipts that are relevant to your income, and keep an up-to-date calendar when working, looking for work, or doing anything that's relevant to your career.
Bequeathing loyalty points
Don't let those airline miles go to waste, said Chelsea Emery at Reuters. American travelers rack up as many as 3 trillion frequent-flier miles each year, but as loyalty programs proliferate, "so do the challenges — and rewards — for heirs who inherit these so-called digital assets." Most programs allow customers to bequeath their points, but the process can be cumbersome. Members who want to will their points should list their awards programs in a separate document, including account numbers and email addresses. Loyalty programs will often require paperwork — including, sometimes, a death certificate or a letter from an executor naming a beneficiary. Others limit beneficiaries to the deceased's spouse or domestic partner. But "if first you hear 'no,' try and try again." Sometimes, said estate planning lawyer Dennis Delaney, "you have to push and go to the higher-ups."

Red Bull F1 team replaces Prodromou as head of Aero
Dan Fallows has been appointed head of aerodynamics at Formula One Champions Red Bull with McLaren-bound Peter Prodromou now on 'gardening leave', the team said on Wednesday. Red Bull said Fallows, who left the team last year after working as aerodynamics team leader, had returned and was starting his new job with immediate effect. McLaren announced last October they had signed Prodromou but Red Bull, contructors' champions for the past four years, were determined to hold the much sought-after Briton to his contract. They did not say when his leave would formally end. Prodromou was McLaren's head of aerodynamics until 2006, having joined that team in 1991, when he followed Adrian Newey to...

More reason to reform or get rid of prop 13.
This happens because local governments no longer have control of revenues. Instead of local property taxes paying for services, cities and counties rely on the state sales tax for revenues. Those revenues are controlled by the state. This is a serious issue and will continue to be an issue, even with a Constitutional Amendment to protect the amount the state must dedicate to those purposes. Such is the case with the education proposition that forces the state to spend a set amount of the general fund for education.

bleedingcool.com – Tony Isabella posted; Yes, I have heard the news about Black Lightning. You don't have to e-mail me, private message me, phone me, or post links on my Facebook page. My only public comments to date have been "Words fail me" and, to my friend Dan Mishkin, "Forget it, Dan. It's DC Town." But, really, if you've ever read anything I've written about Black Lightning and DC's continued refusal to honor its agreements with me, and if you have half a brain, you already know how I feel about the news. The news is that DC Comics are bringing Black Lightning to the New DCU, not by its creator Tony Isabella, but by Marc Andreyko and and artist Robson Rocha for a five issue arc of DC Comics Presents alongside Blue Devil.

Small businesses shafted once again on federal contracts
Send this to a friend
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
This is definitely not Small Business Week -- the SBA waited for the slow Fourth of July week to release its annual piece of bad news: once again, the federal government has failed to meet its goal of awarding 23 percent of its contracts to small businesses.
Federal agencies got a little closer -- 22.25 percent of all federal contracting dollars went to small businesses in fiscal 2012, according to the Small Business Administration. That's up from 21.65 percent in 2011, so the SBA touted this as "real progress."
It's been seven years since the federal government hit its 23 percent small business contracting goal, and no one believed that number was accurate back then. That's because the government's data showed that many contracts that were counted as small business contracts actually went to large businesses. Plus, some types of contracts, such as work performed overseas, are excluded from this report under the theory that it's unrealistic to expect that small businesses could perform such work.
The SBA and the Office of Management and Budget have worked with federal agencies in recent years to clean up their procurement data, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt and consider 22.25 percent as an accurate number. That's still not small businesses' real share of federal contracting, however, because of the various exclusions from the data.
Plus, it's still a miss. The 23 percent goal is not supposed to just be an abstract goal; it was established by Congress. The government is required by law to hit it.
Its failure, year after year, to do so is "simply unacceptable," said Rep. Sam Graves, the Missouri Republican who chairs the House Small Business Committee.

IRWINDALE, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California hot sauce plant that came under fire for its spicy odors is throwing open its doors to the public, offering a whiff of excitement and perhaps a breath of fresh air in its relations with its neighbors.
As many as 3,000 people are expected to visit the factory that makes Sriracha hot sauce over the weekend in this eastern Los Angeles suburb. The factory is holding its first open houses to kick off the chili harvest season.
During a 20-minute walk through the 650,000-square-foot facility, visitors can watch chili grinding; sample Sriracha-flavored ice cream, popcorn and chocolate caramels; visit the new gift shop; and take photos with a cardboard cutout of David Tran, CEO of plant owner Huy Fong Foods.
Tran gave an explanation for opening the factory doors when he previously had been secretive about its trade secrets and customized machinery.
"To prove we make hot sauce, we don't make tear gas," Tran told the Pasadena Star-News (http://bit.ly/1mzJmjV ).
Irwindale, the Los Angeles suburb of about 1,500 people, had sued the company and declared the plant a public nuisance after some nearby residents complained of an eye-watering, throat-closing odor during grinding season.
Tran began offering small tours to visitors from all over the U.S. and Canada, and several politicians said they wouldn't mind if he moved his $60 million company to their areas.
But in May, an agreement was forged between the city and Tran with the help of representatives from Gov. Jerry Brown's Business and Economic Development Office. The city dropped its nuisance declaration and lawsuit.

A Crime of Fashion: When Law Students Dress Like Hookers
One of our tipsters alerted us to an episode of TLC's What Not to Wear — the world's greatest guilty pleasure television show — that we seem to have missed when it aired last year. The show featured a 2L from a southern law school, but this girl dressed more like a prostitute facing arraignment (sorry, Reema) than the lawyer representing her. So who is she, was she hot, what law school did she attend, and were Stacy and Clinton able to change this girl from a hooker to a looker?

Paul Giamatti stars as a struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach who takes in his client's troubled grandson
Two brothers discover a hole in the basement of their new home in an apparently dull neighbourhood. Could it really be a portal to hell itself?
Fans of director Joe Dante's 1980's heyday, hang on to your hats: family-friendly comedy-horror adventure The Hole is a very respectable addition to a body of work that includes The Howling (comedy-horror), Gremlins (family-friendly comedy-horror), Explorers (family-friendly adventure) and The 'Burbs (comedy-horror).
The basic plot is incredibly simple: siblings Dane and Lucas (Chris Massoglia and Nathan Gamble) discover a creepy padlocked trapdoor in their new basement. We'd have absolutely no respect for them if they just left it alone, and they duly pry the thing open, teaming up with their cute neighbour Julie (Haley Bennett) in the process, who sums up the film's basic selling point in one trailer-friendly line of dialogue: "Youve got a gateway to hell under your house, and that is really cool."
Mixing believable characters with inventive, imaginative thrills and spills, The Hole is a classic, 80s style family adventure with some surprisingly dark moments. Its main nod to more modern cinema is the use of 3D, but it is employed in an enjoyably old-school fashion throughout, heavily recalling early 3D films obsession with objects flying out of the screen. This is not a film embarrassed to use the more theme-park aspects of this much-debated technology - and is all the better for it.
Not to be confused with the 2001 Keira Knightley movie of the same name, this is scary, thrilling stuff, especially considering there's very little actual violence or gore.

Pocono community grieves after death of high school student
Updated On: Nov 11 2013 07:27:25 PM CST
There are heavy hearts in one community in the Poconos as news begins to spread of the death of a popular high school student and football player.
Steven Dienno died Friday night after crashing his car six weeks ago.
A cool and fun guy to be around is how some describe Steven Dienno.
Community members say they are still in shock after hearing news of Dienno's death.
More than six weeks after a horrific accident injured three Pocono Mountain East High School students, there is still evidence at the scene on Bush Road in Swiftwater, Monroe County.
Spray paint from the police investigation and car parts from the vehicle can be seen.
"When it first happened everyone was freaking out," said Nicole Delano, whose sister attends Pocono Mountain East.
Now fresh flowers have been placed at the scene by people learning about the passing of Steven Dienno.
"One day he was perfectly fine and the next day he is barely living," added Delano.
Investigators say Steven Dienno lost control of his car causing the vehicle to go airborne and hit two trees before splitting in half.
After hearing about the September 24th accident, everyone 69 News spoke with said they were hoping that Dienno and Justin Bullock, who was also critically injured in the crash, would make a full recovery.
On November 8th, Dienno's stepfather wrote a message that the high school quarterback had died from his injuries.
"Really depressing. Everyone is really devastated by it."
Many students have been leaving messages on Twitter and using the hashtag #StayStrongEast.
All giving condolences and offering prayers to the family of #3.
"He seemed cool. It's just sad that all this stuff happens," said Delano
The Pocono Mountain School District confirms there are extra counselors at Pocono Mountain East High School.
Funeral services for Steven Dienno will be held Thursday.

Kwe Parker throws down 360 cradle dunk … again (VIDEO)
Jul 27, 2014, 12:00 PM EST
Kwe Parker is a 2016 recruit from the Trinity Christian School (North Carolina). The 6-foot-2 shooting guard holds offers from Charlotte, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, according to Rivals.
While he's established himself as a rising prospect, he's also elevated his status with a pair of ridiculous dunks he's thrown down this summer. In June, he used layup lines to wow the crowd and his teammates with a 360 cradle dunk. The dunk had people exit the gym. Literally. Parker replayed that slam again this weekend, on a bigger stage, at the Jordan XX9 Release dunk contest (beginning at the 0:34 mark).
Parker also had some notable highlights from the Pitt JamFest in April, as well.

Jobs to be 'active' Chairman at Apple, remain on Disney board
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs plans to play an active role in Apple's future from his position as Chairman of the Board, according to a new report. Citing a person close to the former CEO, Bloomberg reports that Jobs was at Apple's headquarters for a full work day yesterday, and attended a regularly scheduled board meeting, at which he told the board of his intention to be an active chairman. According to the same report, Jobs then held an emotional meeting with his executive team; his resignation is said not to be indicative of a sudden downturn in his health. In a separate report, Bloomberg cites a person with knowledge of the matter in claiming that Jobs will remain on the board of directors at Walt Disney Co., a position he has held since the company's acquisition of Pixar Animation Studio in 2006.
