Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.

In other words, it's bliss. Thanks for a week of great quotes, I liked them all. |
I haven't done the cloud thing for many, many years, but it used to be a favorite activity in my teenage years. Thanks for your quotes, this week. I've enjoyed them. |

Thanks for the great quotes this week, Dorf. You got me thinking. About the rest thingy, I'm learning how to do that these days. But it takes practice. I wake up to birdies singing/chirping, sun dappling shadows from the trees, cool mornings and I'm ready to go, I'm a morning person. I've learned to enjoy the mornings for a few minutes before I get going. |
Thanks for the good quotes, rest and idleness are good things, they re-charge the batteries, We have been conditioned to be "productive", sometimes sitting quietly, doing absolutely nothing is necessary. |

A dragon is emerging!
Sorry about the awful looking background in the photo - it was either that or taken on my worktable which is a HUGE mess!!
He has his wire armature inside and the wire is attached for his wings. Now he's being stuffed. I made the wire armatures for his arms and legs and it remains to be seen just how they will fit. Stay tuned for the next bit of progress.

"Wonderful! I used the baby carrots in one batch (I was making a lot of them), white onion and a couple cloves of garlic in each jar. They got eaten right away. This batch I'm making and canning.

Karen Folkes describes recent developments
This year we enjoyed a bigger and better Big Bang Fair in March. More sponsors, more media coverage, more visitors than ever before - and I would say also more diverse in terms of the more than 56,000 visitors who flocked to the NEC in Birmingham and notably in the representation of females and people from a minority ethnic background winning the premier Young Scientist and Young Engineer awards.
Joint winners Wasim Miah and Jessica Jones from Cardiff, who took the Young Engineers of the Year Award with their invention of a device that tells expectant mothers that they are about to go into labour, are perhaps a good sign that we too are 'delivering' on the diversity agenda in science and engineering.
Encouraging women
'I can't believe I'm the first girl to win the UK Young Engineer of the Year,' said Jessica. 'It makes the achievement all the more amazing. It would be great to see more girls enter into the field of engineering as there is no reason why we can't compete against men.'
This is a view emphasised by our Department's recently-appointed Chief Scientist Professor John Perkins who, as part of National Science & Engineering Week, gave the keynote speech at Equality for Women in Science - sometime, now, NEVER? conference hosted at the International Space Innovation Centre in Harwell.
Professor Perkins outlined how increasing the diversity of the scientific workforce was important to growth and the economy. He said that progression was the key. Different challenges affected different sectors, and he welcomed ideas on how to tackle them.
These observations also resonate with a fruitful discussion that was had later in March at the Royal Society's STEM Diversity Conference at Chicheley.
PE for good governance
For me, improving diversity in STEM sits alongside improving the opportunities for a diverse public to engage in dialogue on science and engineering. A recent Sciencewise report, Science, Trust and Public Engagement,1 highlights the importance of public dialogue, and challenges those involved to ensure that public engagement is part of an overall approach to good governance and not a stand-alone activity.
Through a review of previous public dialogues, the project suggested three distinct models for how public dialogue can be used to inform policy making process. These are the Upstream Model (allowing the public to contribute to blue skies thinking), the Honest Broker Model (helping mediate between controversial positions) and the Issue Advocate Model (giving the public a greater voice on certain topics).
In addition it identified several cross-cutting challenges (which science engagement veterans might find a touch disappointing). These are the relative lack of public trust in government to act in the public interest; a public sense of feeling excluded from decision-making; an unease in the pace of scientific and technological development compared with the capability for ethical and regulatory oversight; and a question as to whether the culture of science discourages scientists to voice concerns over potential risks and uncertainties or to reflect on wider social and ethical considerations.
The report provides some observations on emerging trends in public engagement. It identifies the value of listening to 'uninvited engagement spaces' (such as the blogosphere); more distributed and open forms of innovation (such as opensourcing, crowdsourcing and co-design); institutional redesign towards openness, transparency and accountability; the development of voluntary codes of conduct as an alternative to purely regulatory or top-down audit; and the continued evolution of ethical codes of conduct and ethics review committees.

Breakfast Topic: Father's Day
Obviously we did our Father's Day festivities on Saturday rather than waiting until Sunday -- it was mainly a matter of when we could get all the siblings and their families together on one day. Still, despite the late dinner (helpful hint: one should always check and make sure the grill is still functional sometime before the steaks are ready to be cooked) and the melting cake, my dad was terribly pleased with all the ninja efforts to pull it together. How about you guys? Are you doing something nice for the dads in your life? What have you got planned? And if you are a father, happy Father's Day -- I guarantee even if the cake is half-melted and the dinner was a little late, we still love you. We just have to work on our timing.

Body Butters for the winter
Snoozing under the duvet, endless cups of chai, and long walks in the nippy outdoors — that's my idea of fun in this weather. What's not is dry and flaky skin. But I've just discovered a couple of great new body butters — pure, natural, handmade — to keep me soft and supple.
Nyassa: This one I've just tried, and I'm already a fan. Set up by management grad Ishveen Anand, who gave up her cushy job in New York to live her dream of creating organic bath and body products, this brand's the culmination. Nyassa has only one dedicated retail outlet as of now, but there will be more soon! The body butter's available in two varieties — Vanilla Pleasure (smells like deevine vanilla chocolate) and Autumn Breeze (with a floral, woody and fresh aroma).
Nyassa, Delta Houses,18th Road, Khar (West) Mumbai, Ph: 26480411; Also available at: Mumbai: Eco Corner, Shop No. 153, Atria Mall, Worli, Mumbai, Ph: 24813450; Bangalore: Reliance Wellness Specialty Store, Modi Hospital Main Road, Basaweshwarnagar; Reliance Wellness Bangalore Specialty Store, 80 Feet Road ST BED Extention, Koramangala. Delhi girls can pick it up online at www.nyassa.in. Rs 400 for 200 gm.
Earth and Soul: Last autumn, when I tried out the superb all-organic, all-natural Earth and Soul products, I was told that their butters would be out soon. They are, and I have speedily acquired both: Mandarin Magic (citrusy, and invigorating) and Lavender Bloom (flowery and almond-y). The texture is dense, and intensely creamy, and they last and last and last! And psst, a third one, based on the restorative powers of tulsi, is in the works!

Once the software is loaded and after a firmware update, you are delivered to this main control tab of the software. Here you can adjust the sensitivity, the lines of scrolling from the wheel, and even the horizontal tilt speed of the Titan Wheel. The right side will allow the change of each of the five levels for the DPI settings, and these are the default offerings. Lastly is the option to adjust the double click speed.
At the bottom of the main page there are also profile slots. When you click on them, you see this window above opens, allowing you to name the profile and tie applications it should be used for. It also states that once the exe is loaded the profile auto switches to the correct profile for that application.
The button assignment tab is pretty self explanatory. On the left side are all the default presets, but even those can be changed. The right side shows the default secondary usages, but I also left the dropdown window active so you get an idea of the options offered in this section.
Advanced controls tab offers the ability to get X and Y adjustments for the sensor, turn the TCU on or off, change the LOD, and even the polling rate on the left side. The right allows for sound feedback for various functions, has a pointer speed slider, and allows you to reset all settings to default if you mess things up.
Color control shows the four individual sections of the mouse that you can play with. As you pick a color for each, they will blend together across the middle of the mouse. You can set them all the same color if you want to, set the lighting effects, and even change the way the lighting is set to move across the Kone XTD.
The R.A.D tab will keep track of how much you use the Kone XTD with a points system. You can win trophies the more you use this device, and you even have the ability to share the trophies on the ROCCAT website for bragging rights. My stats aren't that bad considering I reset this software three times already.
The last tab does exactly what one would assume it does. That is to deliver a one click option to get driver and firmware updates on the left, and the button to the right will drop you to their main page, but there is the direct link and email option lower down that side.

Oct 22nd 2009 8:41PM "The daily dungeons and heroics as we now know them are gone. They're being replaced with daily quests you can only complete via the new LFG tool in patch 3.3. The daily requires you to do any random dungeon/heroic at all via the LFG tool in a PUG."
Okay so I've been gone a few days and need to make sure I'm reading the new LFG details correctly.
I am being "punished" for grouping with my friends/guild to do dungeons. The more random the group is the more gold I will get. Using a random group is the only way to "do" the "daily heroic" and thus if I group with my friends/guild I cannot do the "daily heroic".
Please tell me I'm insane, stupid, and/or need sleep.

You really have to find the RP though, you have to invest much to keep it going, but if enough people do that it works wonders.

11 Of Janelle Monáe's Coolest Black And White Looks
Janelle Monáe's got a thing for black and white. You may think it's easy to find an outfit when your color scheme's so monotone. But it's not as simple as looking in her closet and picking out the same outfit, Superman style. The reason our current cover girl opts for such a basic palette? In honor of her mom (a former janitor) and pops (ex sanitation worker) who donned uniforms to work daily. Click through for a few of Monáe's hottest ensembles.

C++ Documentation Style
This page is part of the Qt Writing Guidelines.
Though there are exceptions, these guidelines should be followed. Keeping that in mind, at least be consistent within the page. Meaning, the class member documentation should have the same style.
To generate the documentation, QDoc goes through the source code and generates documentation for C++ types such as classes. QDoc then associates member functions, properties, and other types to the appropriate class.
Note that the documentation must be in the implementation files such as .cpp files.
Class Documentation
Class documentation is generated using the \class [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] command and the name of the class as the first argument.
- /*!
- \class QCache
- \brief A template class that provides a cache.
- \inmodule QtCore
- \ingroup tools
- \ingroup shared
- \reentrant
- QCache\<Key, T\> defines a cache that stores objects of type T
- associated with keys of type Key. For example, here's the
- definition of a cache that stores objects of type Employee
- associated with an integer key:
- \snippet code/doc_src_qcache.cpp 0
- Here's how to insert an object in the cache:
- \snippet code/doc_src_qcache.cpp 1
- ... detailed description omitted
- \sa QPixmapCache, QHash, QMap
- */
Context commands [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] add information about the class, such as its module or
which version the class was added.
Some required context commands are:
- \brief [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] – the class' brief description. mandatory
- \since [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] – the version to which the class was added . mandatory (see Note section about backdating APIs)
- \inmodule [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] – associates a class to a Qt module. mandatory
- \internal [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] – marks the class as internal. Internal classes do not appear in the public API documentation.
Note: It was decided that we will not backdate APIs, so only add the \since with the version number of an upcoming release. See https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,43797
The Brief and Detailed Description
The brief description is marked with the \brief [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] command and it is for summarizing the purpose or functionality of the class. QDoc adds the brief descriptions to the annotated lists and tables listing the C++ classes. It is a good practice to begin a brief description with a verb.
The Detailed Description section starts after the brief description. It provides more information about the class. The detailed description may contain images, snippet code, or links to other relevant documents. There must be an empty line which separates the brief and detailed description.
Member Functions
Typically, function documentation immediately precedes the implementation of the function in the .cpp file. For function documentation that is not immediately above the implementation, the \fn [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] is needed.
- /*!
- \fn QString &QString::remove(int position, int n)
- Removes \a n characters from the string, starting at the given \a
- position index, and returns a reference to the string.
- If the specified \a position index is within the string, but \a
- position + \a n is beyond the end of the string, the string is
- truncated at the specified \a position.
- \snippet qstring/main.cpp 37
- \sa insert(), replace()
- */
The function documentation starts with a verb, indicating the operation the function performs. This also applies to constructors and destructors.
Some common verbs for function documentation:
- "Constructs…" – for constructors
- "Destroys…" – for destructors
- "Returns…" – for accessor functions
The function documentation must document:
- the return type
- the parameters
- the actions of the functions
The \a [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] command marks the parameter in the documentation.
The return type documentation should link to the type documentation or be marked with the \c [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] command in the case of boolean values.
- /*!
- Returns \c true if a QScroller object was already created for \a target; \c false otherwise.
- \sa scroller()
- */
The property documentation resides immediately above the read function's implementation. The topic-commands [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] for properties is \property [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org].
- /*!
- \property QVariantAnimation::duration
- \brief the duration of the animation
- This property describes the duration in milliseconds of the
- animation. The default duration is 250 milliseconds.
- \sa QAbstractAnimation::duration()
- */
Property documentation usually starts with "This property…", but these are alternate expressions:
- "This property holds…"
- "This property describes…"
- "This property represents…"
- "Returns \c true when… and \c false when…" – for properties that are read.
- "Sets the…" – for properties that configure a type.
Property documentation must include:
- description and behavior of the property
- accepted values for the property
- the default value of the property
Similar to functions, the default type may be linked or marked with the \c command.
An example of a value range style is:
- The values range from \c 0.0 (no blur) to maximumRadius (maximum blur). By default, the property is set to \c 0.0 (no blur).
Signals, Notifiers, and Slots
The topic command [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] for signals, notifiers, and slots
is \fn [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org]. Signal documentation state when they are triggered or emitted.
- /*!
- \fn QAbstractTransition::triggered()
- This signal is emitted when the transition has been triggered (after
- onTransition() has been called).
- */
Signal documentation typically begin with "This signal is triggered when…". Here are alternate styles:
- "This signal is triggered when…"
- "Triggered when…"
- "Emitted when…"
For slots or notifiers, the condition when they are executed or triggered by a signal should be documented.
- "Executed when…"
- "This slot is executed when…"
For properties that have overloaded signals, QDoc groups the overloaded notifiers together. To refer to a specifc version of a notifier or signal, simply refer to the property and mention that there are different versions of the notifier.
- /*!
- \property QSpinBox::value
- \brief the value of the spin box
- setValue() will emit valueChanged() if the new value is different
- from the old one. The \l{QSpinBox::}{value} property has a second notifier
- signal which includes the spin box's prefix and suffix.
- */
Enums, Namespaces, and other Types
Enums, namespaces, and macros have a topic-command [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] for their documentation:
- \enum [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org]
- \typedef [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org]
- \macro [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org]
The language style for these types mention that they are an enum or a macro and
continues with the type description.
For enumerations, the \value [doc-snapshot.qt-project.org] command is used to list the values. QDoc creates a table containing the enum values.
- /*!
- \enum QSql::TableType
- This enum type describes types of SQL tables.
- \value Tables All the tables visible to the user.
- \value SystemTables Internal tables used by the database.
- \value Views All the views visible to the user.
- \value AllTables All of the above.
- */

BUNGY Jumping around New Zealand
I have just returned from an awesome trip around New Zealand on the Kiwi Experience Bus. While on my trip, I decided I wanted to do as many Bungy Jumps as I could….. Working at Base Backpackers Deffinitely has its advantages ;)
My first Jump was in Taupo at 47m.
To make it interesting, I jumped in reverse! I stood with my back to the jumping platform and went feet first down …. OMG the feeling of falling feet first was amazing. As the Bungy cord tightened it flicked me head first and I went straight into the Waikato River - The highest water touch Bungy in NZ.
After my Taupo Bungy I knew I wanted to do all of them. The next stop for was the adventure capital of the world - Queenstown. I had 3 options in Queenstown, Kawarau Bridge, Nevis Bungy and the Ledge Bungy …. arrh lets do them all.
The kiwi bus pulled into the AJ Hackett office located at the Kawarau Bridge Bungy jump - 43m high.
They asked me if I wanted to go into the water - I told them to surprise me. This time I just dived straight of the platform … down I went head first, not only did I touch the water, I went half way in to the Kawarau River - AWESOME!!
It was now time to do my 3rd Bungy Jump at the Nevis Bungy 134M!. This one scared me the, the 3rd biggest in the world, I'm not going to lie I was crapping my pants.
I was the second to jump and as I sat down to get strapped into the gear, my heart was pounding.
I slowly walk over to the edge of the platform. WOW it looks so much bigger when you're standing on the edge.
1 2 3 BUNGY and off I went. 8 seconds of freefall head first to the bottom, IT WAS AWESOME !! The view was breathtaking.
Now for something NEW
The Ledge Bungy is a new style Bungy in Queenstown. You're not tired by the feet, it's around the chest, you're free to run and jump off it any way you can imagine
I had always wanted to be superman when I was a kid, so I ran off the platform and dived into the air like superman, shame I wasn't wearing a cape.
Happy Jumping, come see me to book your next Jump!!

Attractive without being ostentatious. $78 and change from an Amazon seller - NOT $26 as this site shows (when I left the review).

In the past two weeks I found two dead moles laying on my lawn. I'm not upset about losing them, I'm just curious about what the cause of their death is. They don't look chewed up or anything, so I think and animal got to them. anyone have any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wonder if there is poison of some sort in your area that they got into. If you contact NYS department of environmental conservation , they may be able to give you more info. Let us know if you find the culprit. |

Several years ago I also found several dead moles. They were found very close to their holes. Because it had been a very wet summer, and we had just had a gully washer, I decided that they must have aspirated too much water in their burrows. Have you had a lot of rain prior to finding them?

Well, the upstairs neigbor's cat has a knack for killing small animals without leaving a mark on them, as if that would make me feel better when I find them waiting for me outside my door. I've also found several moles over the past year that I assume fell victim to this tidy murderer. Maybe you have one like that in your neighborhood. Wayne |
My scottie has killed moles without leaving a mark on them, so it could be the work of a stray dog, as well. |

POSTED: Friday, December 10, 2010 - 9:23pm
UPDATED: Friday, July 22, 2011 - 9:29am
It all began with an invitation to auto writers to drive the most talked about new car in the world right now.
And the drive would be through the Texas Hill Country.
So how could I turn down a chance to test the innovative new Chevrolet Volt.
Here's where the tough life of an auto writer at a product introduction begins. In this case the lovely Crossings Lodge north of Austin.
Here we spent two days learning about and driving the new Chevy Volt.
Bags weren't even unpacked as the first walkaround began.
The Volt differs from either pure electric cars or hybrids in a couple of ways.
It can go roughly 40 miles on pure electrical charge, stored in a row of batteries down the spine of the car.
Then a small, 1.5-liter gas engine starts, virtually silently, and doesn't drive the car but simply recharges the battery.
So, you ultimately get a range of between 350 and 400 miles.
Houston Chronicle Automotive Editor Tim Spell is sold.
"The best thing I have to say about it is that there is very little to say about it," he told us. "It's all completely seamless. It drives like a regular car."
On the road in traffic and in the Hill Country, the car drives like any other mid-sized 4-door sedan, albeit one with incredible mileage.
The big issue will be the $41,000 price, but that is helped by a $7500 tax credit offered to all new alternative energy cars.
Overall, it is a breakthrough that has been 5 years in the making. The Chevy Volt may not be the ultimate answer to scarce oil in the future, but it is the beginning of one.
And like new and innovative vehicles from both Ford and Chrysler, it's built in the USA.
That's nice to say for a change.

Corona, Aquino avoid face-off in Iglesia Bible expo
-A A +ATuesday, February 28, 2012
MANILA -- Warring leaders President Benigno Aquino III and Chief Justice Renato Corona avoided seeing each other in Tuesday's grand evangelical mission of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) in Manila.
The President said he was told that everyone, including him, was invited to the activity as part of the INC's evangelization work, but at the same time, he received information that his presence "might give a political tinge to the whole event, which detracts from the religious intention of this activity."
Some 600,000 people trooped to the event as traffic was snarled at roads leading to the Quirino Grandstand in Manila due to the influx of INC members and supporters, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said.
Similar activity was held simultaneously in 19 other venues in the country.

Some 7,000 INC members gathered in Fuente Osmeña Rotonda in Cebu City, while at least 400,000 people showed up in Tarlac City, PNP spokesman Agrimero Cruz Jr. said in a text message to Sun.Star.
Thousands also gathered at the Tionko football fields along Quimpo Boulevard in Davao City. INC followers arrived in buses, vans and jeepneys from neighboring provinces, clogging up traffic in the routes leading to the football fields.
Since he chose not to attend the activity, Aquino said he would just want to say "thank you" to the INC for supporting him in the 2007 senatorial and 2010 presidential elections.
"I was supported by the Church in 2010 and also in '07, so 'thank you.' I am sure that they have been partners like when I was still a congressman in Tarlac," he told reporters after a speaking engagement at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila.
Like Aquino, Corona declined the INC's invitation following the advice of fellow magistrates and close associates.
"The Chief Justice will not attend the prayer and evangelical mission to avoid accusations that he is using the prayer rally for political purposes," SC spokesperson Midas Marquez said, adding that all justices were invited to attend the event at the Quirino Grandstand.
Marquez said Corona has just extended his congratulations to the INC, whose members have rallied behind him in his impeachment although the religious group did not officially declared support for the Chief Justice.
The INC leadership earlier said the activity is not a political rally in support of Corona.
"This religious activity is one of the means by which the Church propagates the teachings of God in the Bible that members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo believe to be essential for man's salvation," INC spokesman Bienvenido Santiago said.
He noted that the gathering and the impeachment trial were only coincidental; stressing the 2012 has been marked as the evangelical mission year.
If there were politicians and government officials that were invited to the event, Santiago said they will not be allowed to speak as they all know, especially those who were earlier invited in the same gathering, that their only role there is to listen.
Aquino, apparently downplaying reports that the INC was supportive of Corona, said there were also a number of members of the religious group who are supportive of his administration's efforts, including the move to impeach Corona.
He failed to elaborate, but said the event was geared toward the group's centennial celebration in 2014.
"So they want a very significant centennial celebration in two years' time and they have deemed this is necessary to lead to that," Aquino said.
As of 6:48 p.m. Tuesday, the Manila Police District estimated the crowd at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila at 600,000. More and more people started arriving at the venue, spilling over to the areas of Katigbak and South Drives, at the Rizal monument, and Roxas Boulevard from Delpan to Vito Cruz at the Philippine International Convention Center, said the police.
With this, traffic was snarled at roads leading to the grandstand.
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Francis Tolentino admitted they experienced difficulty untangling the traffic jams when public and private vehicles ferrying INC members started arriving as early as Monday night to early morning Tuesday to attend the event.
"Because of the influx of motorists, difficulties were experienced. There were buses that transported INC members from as far as Central Luzon, Bicol and Quezon," Tolentino said.
He said to ease the problem, the MMDA had arranged parking areas at the north wing of the Quirino Grandstand, while another was located at the South Drive from Roxas Boulevard to Independence Road for those with car passes.
However, the official said hundreds of vehicles have parked in the area and occupied the lanes of Roxas Boulevard and secondary streets near the Quirino Granstand, resulting in traffic problem.
One lane parking each at the Roxas Boulevard from P. Burgos to P. Ocampo Street, and Bonifacio Drive from 25th Street to Anda Cirle, on the other hand, was made available for buses.
"Based on our monitoring, parked vehicles have reached parts of Roxas Boulevard up to the Cuneta Astrodome," the MMDA chief said.
The same problem was monitored at the Nichols Interchange, particularly on the north-bound side, though traffic was light at the opposite side.
Earlier, some 100 INC members were stranded in Barangay Mayapa, Calamba, Laguna, as they had run out of vehicles that would bring them to Manila for the event.
Traffic at the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) eased around noon, the Metro Base said after hours of moderate to heavy traffic caused by a traffic accident early morning.
To alleviate the problem, MMDA Assistant General Manager for Planning Emerson Carlos said the agency deployed "Libreng Sakay" buses at affected areas, as well as 700 traffic enforcers to augment those deployed by the Manila City Government.
Some 500 policemen from the MPD and the National Capital Region Police Office were also on hand to secure the gathering.
Ambulances and the agency's emergency services team were also sent to provide assistance if needed.
Among those who attended the religious gathering Tuesday were Pangasinan Representative Gina de Venecia, former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo's lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, Marquez, former National Bureau of Investigation director Magtanggol Gatdula, Navotas City Representative Tobias Tiangco, former senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, Laguna Governor Emilio Ramon Ejercito, Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, former senator Ernesto Maceda, and Rizal Governor Jun Ynares.
Similar grand evangelical missions have been conducted at the Quezon Memorial Circle in 1995 and at the Amoranto Stadium in 1996.
INC spokesperson Santiago said similar gatherings have been conducted in the past, majority of which were held on a smaller scale.
INC is an independent Christian group founded by Brother Felix Manalo in July 1914 in Sta. Ana, Manila.
Since then, it has grown to three million members as 747 of its 5,121 congregations are based in 93 countries. (Virgil Lopez/SDR/AMN/ECV/AH/JOP of Sun.Star Davao/Sunnex)

Du Toit is a different kind of golden – Susan Casey – SI.com
Story Highlights
- Natalie du Toit was the first female amputee to compete in the Olympics
- She participated in the 10K marathon swim, finishing in 16th place
- Du Toit says she just wants to "compete against able-bodied athletes"
BEIJING — She was standing in the road. The sun glared overhead and the pavement simmered and the air was thick with humidity and Natalie du Toit stood there, next to the golf cart that would take her to the start of the 10k marathon swim. She had a towel over her shoulders and a yellow bathing cap on her head with her race number, 23, scrawled on the side in black magic marker. The sun beat down on her as she talked to a group of people who'd gathered. She looked strong — as you'd expect in a woman who was about to swim up and down the Olympic rowing basin for two hours — but as I walked past her on my way to the stands I wondered why there was no one around to take charge of all this; no coach or manager to shoo away the gawkers so that Natalie could sit down in the shade and rest, for God's sake, drink a little Gatorade and gather her focus for the start, less than 30 minutes away.
Five minutes went by and then 10 and still she continued to stand there. She took the towel from her shoulders and draped it over her head against the sun. She shifted her weight from her left leg, from the carbon prosthesis that ended in the perfectly shaped, flesh-colored outline of a foot, to her right. Du Toit has a high performance set of legs; it's just that the two of them didn't quite match. And anyone who thought that might've stopped her from becoming an Olympian doesn't know her very well. "I want to compete against able-bodied athletes," she'd said. "I don't want anything free."
Looking at her, I couldn't help but flash back to the previous week's swimming competition, over at the Water Cube. The 10k was just another race in the same program, but it was being held in a parallel universe. Here there was no architectural icon to compete in, no glowing cube with psychedelic lighting, turbulence-free gutters, and ozone filtration. Instead there was a flat, murky expanse of rowing water dug out of a field. There was no theme music here either, no cavorting mascots, no cute Chinese girls in spangly costumes playing the bongos. Unlike Michael Phelps, Natalie du Toit wasn't accompanied by a bodyguard, a few agents, a coach, and two biomechanics experts. And if Rowdy Gaines was at the Shunyi Rowing-Canoeing Park, reporting live for NBC, I didn't see him.
At the start, du Toit stood again. She stood on a red floating platform next to her 24 competitors, all of whom were able-bodied and most of whom she'd beaten before. I watched her take off her prosthetic leg to dive in. Du Toit didn't win a gold medal that day, let alone eight of them. But gold is a standard as well as a distinction, and as Natalie du Toit hit the water, it was obvious at that moment that she and Michael Phelps had everything in common.
