On 8 December 2011, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published a formal recommendation on the creation of temporary capital buffers, the objective of which is to create an exceptional and temporary capital buffer to address current market concerns over sovereign risk (the "Stress Capital Requirement"), and which may include very strong newly issued buffer convertible capital securities ("BCCS") if consistent with the EBA "Buffer Convertible Capital Securities Common Term Sheet".
One of the key advantages of issuing BCCS to meet the temporary Stress Capital Requirement is that it gives issuers access to the fixed income investor base to raise EBA Core Tier 1 eligible capital, and therefore the possibility of using BCCS to tap supplementary investor sources for Core Tier 1 capital is welcomed.
However, in order for the BCCS to be fit for purpose, as well as achieving the regulatory objectives, the host instrument needs to be sufficiently attractive and marketable.
With marketability being the main influential factor, we conducted a survey on the matter among major market participants. More precisely, we asked a series of questions comparing the market impact of BCCS with a Tier 2 host with otherwise identical BCCS with an Additional Tier 1-style host.

Easter is the biggest challenge to a secularised world. Christ's resurrection from the dead is not an act of magic with no consequences. It offers humanity - and each human person - fullness of life. It offers each person the opportunity to share in Christ's divine mission of salvation. It offers each of us a share in divinity itself by becoming God's adopted children through Baptism. But fullness of life is not automatic. It involves a choice - Glen Argan
Easter is a challenge for secularism

|Loebsack Calls for Extension of Program to Ensure Continued Iowa Job Creation
|News Releases - Business, Economy & Finance
|Written by Joe Hand
|Wednesday, 16 May 2012 08:38
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dave Loebsack recently called on leaders in the House of Representatives to extend a program, which is designed to ensure faster disaster recovery through economic growth and development. Created by Loebsack and Senator Grassley in the aftermath of the 2008 Floods, Midwestern Disaster Area Bonds allowed for $2.6 billion for Iowa in tax-free bonding authority to be used for job creation and economic development.
Unfortunately, this authority expires at the end of the year, despite only $800 million having been used in Iowa. Loebsack called on the Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee to extend this job creation tool until 2015. Governor Branstad also supports an extension of the authority.
"The State of Iowa has worked hard to utilize much of this authority, but has been hit doubly hard with devastating floods on top of the worst recession since the Great Depression," Loebsack wrote to the Committee. "Providing for an extension of Midwestern Disaster Areas Bond authority makes sense on a number of fronts, the foremost being job creation and economic growth. I respectfully urge the Committee to include this common-sense extension which has broad bipartisan support in the Congressional Delegation, the State of Iowa, and the Midwest."
This bonding authority has aided many projects in Iowa, including a recent announcement by Iowa Fertilizer that they are considering building a $1.3 billion fertilizer plant in Southeast Iowa. This bonding authority is being used to help attract the plant to Iowa and is projected to create 165 long-term jobs, as well as 1,500 to 2,000 jobs during its construction.

It's hard to say when making figures using the shadows of our hands started, but it probably originated on the walls of caves lit by the dancing flames of an ancient fire. Through the ages the art progressed to include animals, people and characters of all sorts, culminating in the late 19th century when French entertainer Félicien Trewey popularized the technique by making the silhouettes of famous figures.
Officially called Shadowgraphy, the fun skill is as simple as having one light source, like a candle or single bulb, and a wall to cast shadows upon. The vintage illustrations we bring you here include such easy examples as a bird in flight (most of us have probably made this one), all the way to the challenging silhouettes of a camel and even a young boy.[see_also]

Adopting Premises
The sneaky debate over legalizing adoptions by gay couples.
The AAP plays a similar trick in reverse. "Because most children whose parents are gay or lesbian have experienced the divorce of their biologic parents, their subsequent psychologic development has to be understood in that context," says the AAP. "Children of divorced lesbian mothers grow up in ways that are very similar to children of divorced heterosexual mothers." By comparing lesbians to divorced straight women rather than to married straight women, the AAP eliminates fatherhood as an explanatory variable. In fact, by leaving fathers out of the equation, the AAP gets to portray male role models as an advantage of lesbian parenthood: "Lesbian mothers … have been shown to be more concerned with providing male role models for their children than are divorced heterosexual mothers."
5. Define the alternative. Connor says legalizing gay adoptions would "deprive" children of having a loving mom and dad. To dodge that dilemma, the media and gay adoption advocates focus on the millions of kids whose alternative to being adopted by a well-off gay couple is far worse than being adopted by a well-off straight couple. They profile gay couples who have taken in orphans, sick or abused children, and Asian kids for whom adoptive parents are hard to find. Connor says it would be better to get straight couples to adopt these kids. But until he recruits enough volunteers, he'll have to explain why living in an orphanage or with a drug-addicted mom is better than having two dads.
6. Define the conditions. Conservatives argue that being adopted by a gay couple puts a kid in an awkward situation. The AAP bypasses this objection by limiting the debate to kids who are already in that situation. The AAP doesn't explicitly endorse a gay couple adopting a child from outside their home. Instead, it says, "Children who are born to or adopted by 1 member of a same-sex couple deserve the security of 2 legally recognized parents." On this basis, the AAP says the other member of the couple should be allowed to adopt the child as well, thereby guaranteeing the child not only a feeling of security but financial benefits such as dependent health insurance.
Should the child be in the custody of a gay person in the first place? The authors of the AAP policy assume that question away. They describe the kids at stake as those who "happen to have a homosexual parent," ignoring the question of how that happened. Like abortion-rights advocates, they stipulate that the disputed conduct will take place anyway and that therefore the best policy is to make it safe and legal. "People are already doing this, de facto," says one sociologist. "The question is are you going to give parents the same rights, and therefore the kids the same rights, and the same stability in their connection to their parents that other kids have?"
7. Define the causality. Connor says society prohibits gay marriage and gay adoption because gays are more prone to promiscuity, depression, drug abuse, and suicide, and less likely to sustain stable relationships than straights are. But what if it's the other way around? What if society's verdict that you're unfit to marry or raise kids makes you more prone to promiscuity, depression, drug abuse, and suicide, and less likely to sustain stable relationships? And what if the emotional problems that afflict kids with gay parents are caused not by having gay parents, but by society's taboo against gay parenthood?
That's essentially what the AAP argues. "Prevalent heterosexism and stigmatization might lead to teasing and embarrassment for children about their parent's sexual orientation or their family constellation and restrict their ability to form and maintain friendships," says the AAP. "Children living with divorced lesbian mothers have better outcomes … when their fathers and other important adults accept their mother's lesbian identity." Above all, says the AAP, "[d]enying legal parent status through adoption to coparents or second parents prevents these children from enjoying the psychologic and legal security that comes from having 2 willing, capable, and loving parents." In other words, those who oppose legalization of gay marriage and adoption thereby perpetuate the instability they cite as grounds for denying gays the right to marry and adopt.
Each of these debates within the debate can modify the outcome. If having gay parents is better than being in an orphanage but not as good as having straight parents, maybe gays should be allowed to adopt only kids who are wards of the state, as is done in New Jersey. If having a mom and dad is better than having two moms only when all other considerations are equal, maybe sexual orientation should be a factor, though not a conclusive one, in the adoption screening process. If gay adoptions should be banned because kids of gays have the same problems as kids of divorced people, maybe a divorcee's new husband shouldn't have any more parental rights over her child than a new lesbian partner would.
Alternatively, if the emotional and financial health of a household renders its configuration irrelevant to its parental suitability, maybe threesomes (a surrogate/donor mom and two gay men) or foursomes (biological mom, biological dad, and each parent's gay partner) should be allowed to adopt kids. The AAP virtually suggests as much. Or maybe, if Connor is right that New Jersey's first gay adoption was wrong because "both adoptive parents died from AIDS," we should play it safe and give lesbians priority over straight couples in the adoption process. Be careful what standard you argue for. You just might get it.

A good woman should be able to keep her promises. Be positive in her approach to life understanding that there are others besides herself. Be a giver, not a taker.

A bad woman should be able to recognize her faults and remain silent until she developes the ability to treat others as she would want to be treated. No nagging. Not demanding.

I guess no different than what qualities a man should have.
It's a tie between honesty and intelligence. Sense of humour is important too. After that the rest is in the 'nice to hav' category
I think inner strength is an important quality a woman could have.
Brains.... but for emotional intelligence aswel and an analytical thinker.......not just someone remembering facts.

Hairy Hippy In Pigtails
Oh wow, Rebekka is in pigtails this time. She's got a nice body and I really like her tits too. And that shot of her with her arms behind her back is quite impressive also.
Rebekka has some tattoos on her and she's got a nice ass. But her hairy pussy looks like it would feel pretty nice too. Overall I think this hippy chick Rebekka is very nice to look at. I wouldn't even mind if all she did was jerk me off.
There doesn't seem to be any bio info on her any more, but she's got ten galleries available. I like seeing her spread her legs. Her pussy looks wet and ready to fuck most of the time.
You can see all of Rebekka's very nice work at ATK Natural & Hairy.

On Being Pleasing
See more » Ambiguously Gendered
Pleasing the other. Being pleased by the other.
Funny how people sometimes try to lock either act in a role. Even in gender.
My biggest conflict with how many transvestites see their selves is they equate femininity with being submissive. That it is only by submitting a feminine person can please. This seems an impoverished - and really very male - image of the feminine.
When does the top - the masculine person in this one instance - feel least adequate? When he cannot please the bottom, the femme partner.
There is strength and power in giving pleasure. Being pleasing isn't a mark of subjugation.
Except sometimes. For fun.

ASUS: The EN7600 GS Silent, and EN7800 GT TOP Silentby Josh Venning on May 12, 2006 11:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
IntroductionEvery so often we come across graphics solutions that are somewhat specialized and are designed differently than the average card. These are often times made to fit a certain niche within the hardware community, such as space-saving designs or alternative cooling methods. We like looking at these because these cards often yield very different or interesting results from your average graphics card.
Though the average gamer might not care about how cool their GPU runs or how much power the card draws from his system, there are those out there who are interested in such topics, and they want to find a graphics card to fit a certain need. One good example of this would be people looking for cooler-running GPUs to use in hot or desert climates. In these areas, the outside temperatures can cause computer hardware to run excessively hot, and cards with greater-than-usual cooling methods are needed.
One of the most popular and useful design types we've looked at in graphics cards before are those modified for silent or near-silent operation. Quiet systems would be important to many users, for example those who use their computer for audio recording in a home or commercial studio. In the past, we've looked at cards like the NVIDIA 6600 GT Silent, which while modest in performance, had a brilliant and completely silent heat sink design. Today we will be looking at two NVIDIA cards with silent heat sink designs, the ASUS EN7800 GT TOP Silent, and the ASUS 7600 GS Silent.
In one of our more recent video articles, we looked at a water-cooled solution from Sapphire (Blizzard X1900 XTX) which was very intricate and somewhat bulky, but performed on par with the other X1900 XTXs with slightly lower noise. With these two completely silent NVIDIA cards from ASUS, however, the designs are much more simple and effective at reducing noise while still saving space in your computer case. Of course, these two cards aren't looking to offer the same performance as the Blizzard X1900 XTX.
We've not looked much at overclocking silent cards before, but we will be for this article, as well as our usual performance breakdowns for these cards. With some of the recent monster GPUs from ATI and NVIDIA making so much racket, it's refreshing to see cards that make no noise at all, especially with the kind of performance you get with a 7800 GT. Now without further ado, let's take a look at the cards.
The Cards
ASUS EN7800 GT TOP Silent
The EN7800 GT TOP Silent follows the same design of the earlier released 6600 GT Silent for the most part. The card and heat sink are scaled up to accommodate the more powerful architecture, but the heat sink is basically the same with an odd-looking metal arm protruding from the top that swivels out 90 degrees. The 90 degree angle on the protruding sink positions it squarely over the CPU fan on our system, ingeniously using the air from the fan to aid in the card's cooling.
While one of the strangest looking designs we've ever seen, the heat sink appears to be very effective at keeping the GPU cool, and we haven't experienced any problems at all with performance out-of-the-box. Something else worth mentioning about the ASUS EN7800 GT TOP Silent package is the game bundle included is fairly large, and includes King Kong, as well as several other older games like Savage and Second Sight. There are an impressive seven games included in all, as well as ASUS DVD, CyberLink MediaShow, CyberLink PowerDirector, and a small black CD pouch to carry them in. These additions make an already nice package even better, and it was nice for ASUS to include them in the bundle.
Another nice thing about this silent version of the 7800 GT is that it comes with an GPU core factory overclock of 420 MHz instead of the standard 400 MHz. The memory is also factory overclocked to 1.24GHz versus the normal 1.0GHz memory clock. This factory overclock is interesting considering the heat issues that silent cards like this tend to have, but as we said we have experienced no problems during testing.
ASUS EN7600 GS Silent
The more recent silent card of these two from ASUS is closer to budget/mid-range in terms of performance, and also has a much more modest heat sink design. The 7600 GS is a less powerful variation of the recently introduced 7600 GT. Since this card won't run nearly as hot as the 7800 GT version, ASUS, and ultimately the consumer, saves money due to the cost-saving design. This is good news for those on a budget looking for a silent graphics solution.
The card is small, and so is the heat sink which covers a portion of the front of the card, then curls over and onto the back, wrapping around and keeping the card very compact. Unlike the silent 7800 GT, which uses the 6-pin PCI-E power connection, the EN7600 GS Silent doesn't require the extra power. There is a game bundle included with this card which is similar to the EN7800 GT TOP Silent bundle, but not as sizable with a game pack of some older games.
Overclocking, Heat & PowerWe approached overclocking these cards with some caution because of what we mentioned before about heat issues. Since faster clock speeds equal higher temperatures on the GPU, more heat dissipation is needed, which can be a problem for cards with fan-less heat sinks. We found that the 7600 GS Silent did actually have trouble with overclocking, but interestingly, the Silent 7800 GT managed to achieve quite a high core and memory clock. Here are the clock speeds we achieved.
|Overclocking Results
|Core Clock
|Memory Clock
|ASUS EN7800 GT TOP Silent
|% Increase
|ASUS EN7600 GS Silent
|% Increase
We tested these clock speeds by running the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory benchmark stress tests to verify stability. One thing to note is that these cards tended to get incredibly hot to the touch after several minutes of testing. Here are the performance results in Splinter Cell of the overclocked cards.
There's not much difference at all between the factory and user overclocked silent 7600 GS. This card was the worst of the two at overclocking and had a lot of trouble running stable (i.e. without graphical artifacts) during our stress tests. However, once we established the overclock of 442MHz/874MHz, the artifacts left and our tests ran cleanly. With the silent 7800 GT, the difference our overclocking makes is fairly significant. It did manage to boost performance by several fps, which may be a noticeable improvement during gameplay.
Power Consumption
We also tested the power consumption of these cards to see how much power they drew and if there was anything out of the ordinary. We acquired our power numbers by measuring the wattage of the total system at the wall outlet while idle and under load (stress tests). These are the results we recorded.
As expected, the EN7600 GS Silent drew much less power than the EN7800 GT TOP Silent. Neither of these cards are really power-hungry, but the fact that the EN7800 GT TOP Silent requires a 6 pin power connection reflects that its consumption is on par more with other cards of this type. The EN7600 GS Silent requires no external power connection, and its consumption is fairly low, which is good for those concerned with power draw.
We tested the temperatures of these cards as well to get a good idea of their heat levels generated during operation. We acquired the results here similarly to the power test, by taking the temperature of the GPU (in Celsius) while the system was idle and under stress testing. Here are the results.
As we mentioned above, both cards do get very hot to the touch after running any 3D application for a bit. Something interesting here is that the EN7800 GT TOP Silent runs cooler at idle than the smaller EN7600 GS Silent. At load however, the 7800 GT gets about 5 degrees C hotter than the 7600 GS. The EN7800GT cooler is obviously larger and better at dissipating heat, yet the card still gets hotter because it is a much more powerful part.
Test Setup/PerformanceNow that we've talked about the cards and their overclocking abilities, let's look at their performance. We've included a few other cards for comparison to get an idea of how these cards rank in a general way. Included on the graphs we have the NVIDIA 7800 GTX, 6600 GT, and the ATI X1800 GTO and X1600 XT (along with our two silent ASUS cards). The games we are testing are Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Battlefield 2 and Quake 4, at 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 resolutions. Here is the test system we used:
NVIDIA nForce 4 motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 2.6 GHz Processor
Seagate 7200.7 120 GB Hard Drive
OCZ 600 W PowerStream Power Supply
*Note that sound was disabled for these tests.
Battlefield 2 Performance
Halflife 2: Lost Coast Performance
Quake 4 Performance
Of course these two silent cards are in a different league from each other in terms of performance. We mentioned that the EN7600 GS is more of a budget/mid range card and the EN7800 GT TOP Silent more on the high-end. The numbers here reflect this, and we can see that the 7600 GS has a little trouble running games very smoothly with high resolutions, particularly with Anti-aliasing enabled. It still does very well and (arguably) gets playable framerates in almost all of the games and settings.
Final WordsWhile it might be nearly impossible to make a PC run completely silent, there are lots of ways for those concerned about noise to deal with the problem. And for those who want a quiet system for recording or whatever else, but also to play games every once in a while, a silent graphics card will help keep the noise down while still allowing you to game. Still, silent graphics solutions are specialized, so the average gamer won't mind that their card adds a few db to their computer noise. These cards are made to fit a specific need, and both the EN7600 GS Silent and the EN7800 GT TOP Silent meet this need very well.
Both of these cards are identical when it comes to noise level, but obviously there's a large difference in terms of gaming performance. It's difficult making fast cards run quiet because higher power requires more cooling and eventually you will need fans or other moving parts to cool down the processor, which in turn will generate noise. The 7800 GT is fairly high on the performance ladder, and the fact that ASUS managed to make a silent version of this card is nice. What is even nicer is the fact that the EN7800 GT TOP Silent was able to achieve a fairly high user-overclock over the already decent factory overclock. (Note that overclocking ability varies between cards of the same type.) It's fairly safe to say that those looking for both the most powerful and quiet graphics card available need look no further than the ASUS EN7800 GT TOP Silent. However, the price for this card is a bit higher than a normal 7800 GT, so the silent operation will cost you extra.
As far as pricing goes, it makes sense that a slower card like the 7600 GS would likely be easier for a manufacturer to modify to silent operation over a fast card like the 7800 GT, thus saving on costs. Currently, the ASUS EN7600 GS Silent can be bought for about $147 on Newegg, which is relatively inexpensive for what you get. It is still a budget/midrange card though, so it won't be able to give you the kind of performance you would need to run the latest games at high settings. The ASUS EN7800 GT TOP Silent lists for a much higher price of $399, and at the time of this writing we weren't able to find any of these cards for sale. Normal 7800 GTs can be found now for as low as $280, so having one of these cards that runs noiseless will be more of a luxury item for most gamers.
Overall these cards adequately fulfill their job of providing a level of graphics acceleration while making no sound at all, so for those interested in this aspect of the cards, you won't be disappointed. Which one is better for you depends mostly on your budget, and most likely the ASUS EN7600 GS Silent will be a more reasonable purchase for the consumer in the market for a card of this type. There are other low-noise solutions available, but none quite as fast as the EN7800 GT TOP Silent which makes it unique, and the likely choice for those interested in maximum performance with lowest noise levels. With NVIDIA's "slimming-down" of their most recent line of cards, we can imagine more powerful silent-operation will be easier and cheaper to achieve in the future, and we'll be interested to see what advancements are in store for us in this area.

Vulcan Materials Announces Major New Source Of Reserves In Southern California
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:VMC) today announced the commencement of mine development at the Company's Azusa Rock Quarry, east of Los Angeles, California. This strategically located source of reserves in the San Gabriel Valley contains over 100 million tons of quality granite aggregate, allowing Vulcan to supply critical California infrastructure projects and commercial development for decades to come. The project also will support Vulcan's redevelopment of former mining sites. In particular, this project will generate millions of yards of overburden material that will be used to complete reclamation of a 90-acre former sand and gravel mine in nearby Irwindale for commercial development. This reclamation is expected to be completed by 2018.According to Donald M. James, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vulcan Materials, "This project is consistent with our long-term strategy of securing aggregates reserves in the fastest-growing regions of the United States while also building upon our significant and valuable land holdings in ways that benefit our shareholders, our employees, and our valuable host communities. It is the culmination of years of cooperative work with the City of Azusa, regulatory officials and local stakeholders to ensure that it meets the expectations of the community, state and local government officials, and Vulcan Materials Company. The cities of Azusa and Irwindale will see hillside restoration and the development of a key property at a major intersection serving both cities." ABOUT VULCAN MATERIALS COMPANY Vulcan Materials Company, a member of the S&P 500 index, is the nation's largest producer of construction aggregates, a major producer of asphalt mix and concrete and a leading producer of cement in Florida.

Do What You Are
Another career assessment offered by Career Center is Do What You Are® (DWYA). This tool is a personality assessment designed to provide feedback about an individual's patterns of behavior and their preferences. Do What You Are® can be helpful for undecided students in several ways. It can show how an individual likes to make decisions, organize his or her life, and acquire information. Do What You Are® can also demonstrate where an individual focuses his or her attention (on the outer world of people and things or inner world of ideas) and what types of career environments may be best suited to their personality.
The DWYA identifies four separate dichotomies. An individual is assumed to have a preference for one of each pair of opposites over the other. For example, each person's four letter code will include only one letter from each row (e.g. INTJ). It is important to note that a preference for one alternative of each dichotomy does not mean that the opposite, less-preferred side is never used. With the information provided, individuals can investigate what careers and work environments may best match their preferences. By utilizing the DWYA and the Strong Interest Inventory together, students are able to construct a more accurate perception of their individual career interests and personal strengths.
Do What You Are Types
|Extraversion (E)
|Introversion (I)
|People who prefer Extraversion tend to focus on the outer world of people and things

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
29 Feb 2012 09:12 GMT | Israel, Jordan, United Kingdom
Larbi Sadiki is a specialist in Arab democratisation, revolution and transitions, and has been an academic at Australian National University, Exeter University, Westminster University and Qatar University.
Exeter, United Kingdom - What defines a King's dilemma in Jordan? King Abdullah II offering substantive reform that could create a democratic multiplier effect and win over the public, through inclusiveness and accommodation? Or let the people's desire for genuine reform build to an explosive point of no-return?
Top-down solely state-led political management is no longer available in any Arab state - not even in states which buy off political loyalty. Bottom-up society-driven pressure, struggle and resistance is a narrative still in the making, with varying degrees of utility and usefulness.
Undoing this dilemma in Jordan would be proving politics to be the art of the possible. There are challenges, however.
All the King's men
The common pathology of crisis-stricken Arab polities is the absence of the full benefit of
Exeter, United Kingdom - What defines a King's dilemma in Jordan? King Abdullah II could offer substantive reform that may create a democratic multiplier effect and win over the public, through inclusiveness and accommodation. Or he could let the people's desire for genuine reform build to an explosive point of no-return.
Top-down, solely state-led political management is no longer available in any Arab state - not even in states which buy off political loyalty. Meanwhile, bottom-up society-driven pressure, struggle and resistance is a narrative still in the making, with varying degrees of utility and usefulness.
The common element in the pathology of crisis-stricken Arab polities is an absence of the full benefit of impartial feedback to presidents and kings. The deferential style of statecraft is not congenial to effective political management. Often the rot exists within the inner circle: it functions to reproduce itself by placing the ruler in a state of political "quarantine"; no contact with the "venom" of the plebeian masses and their problems. Thus the problems in need of urgent solution through wider deliberation and action remain shelved or hidden.
To an extent, this advisory cast is fixed and inflexible as it seeks a monopoly over access to the plum jobs. Literally, this is a "class" made up of modern-day "courtiers" without funny clothing/robes or other regal paraphernalia. A study of this cast would also likely reveal hereditary access and practices.
It is challenging to deal with this cast when it is entrenched as part of the equation of rule and misrule. Perhaps less so in Jordan today, but the Rifa'is and the Majalis have historically ensured a share in power, no matter how diminutive. One of the earliest victims of the Arab Spring's arrival in Jordan was the dismissal of Samir Al-Rifa'i, son of one of the longest-serving diwani figures in Jordan's political history: Zaid al-Rifa'i.
As if there were a troika in Jordan: King, the courtier class and the intelligence services, each of which has its own input into the political transcript of the state of play and affairs in the Kingdom.
Two remarks are in order:
Jordan's Arab spring: Myth or reality?
There is sustained unrest and the potential for more of it - even if a ranting princely retiree is in denial. Its momentum is higher, thanks to the Arab Spring's domino effect. Mocking or denying the Arab Spring (as in Prince Hassan's recent tirade against opposition and Jordan's protesters) will not ease the unrest.
One of the biggest challenges is honesty. Period. There are things that cannot be swept under the rug. Rampant corruption is one of them.
"There are things that cannot be swept under the rug. Rampant corruption is one of them."
Some of it points to alleged malpractice by Queen Rania - something yet to either be proven or disproven. Tribes stand on either side of the allegations, and denial alone has neither eased unrest nor repaired the queen's image. At least, one step in the right direction is that her extravagant birthday parties are a thing of the past (after public outrage about the queen's Wadi Rum razzle-dazzle 2010 August birthday). The king has for a long time, and correctly, banned members of the royal family from engaging in business activities.
The saga of millionaire Khaled Shaheen involving unproven complicity of high-placed people in his release from jail and escape overseas on false grounds of ill-health was eventually contained through his re-detention. It is understandable why fallout from corruption is huge in an impoverished country where graduates find no work for years and struggle to make ends meet.
Slogans in a Jordan protest openly display contempt against corruption. There was even a specific reference to a lack of transparency in business transactions, involving the licencing of a GSM mobile provider. Concerns over land sales and concentration of ownership, including by the king, are on the rise.
An official anti-corruption authority or commission has been busy addressing these issues. A senior former intelligence chief was taken to task for money laundering, and is awaiting trial.
However, in the pursuit of a solution to one problem, some approaches aggravate others. Law 23 is a case in point. It was proposed by the anti-corruption authority and voted by the lower house of parliament in late 2011. It renders the reporting of unfounded corruption risky business. If defamation can be sustained in a court of law, a journalist reporting corruption can find herself/himself set back a hefty sum of between 30,000 and 60,000 Jordanian dinars ($40-80,000).
Society strikes back
The virtual world opens up endless possibilities and struggles shift to un-policeable techniques. When face-to-face does not yield results, Facebook becomes a logical choice and site of struggle: Facebook tajjammu' [Facebook Rally] being a good example. It is deployed for the purpose of targeting and liquidating the corrupt - in the virtual world of course.
Hence a fitting name used to wage an anti-corruption campaign: Al-hamlah al-shakhsiyyah li-ightiyal' shakhsiyyat al-fasideen raddan 'ala al-maddah 23 ["The personal campaign for the assassination of corrupt individuals as a response to article 23"].
The campaign views parliament's approval of article 23 to be an attempt to gag journalists and protect those suspected of corrupt activities. Through recourse to Facebook, the campaign names and shames corrupt personalities. Queen Rania's brother, Majdi Al-Yaseen, was mentioned throughout the campaign.
Basically, the intention is to hold public trials in the virtual world since earthly justice is not near (and divine justice appears somewhat delayed). These public trials include - in theory at least - confrontational protests such as sit-ins in front of the workplaces of those targeted.
Decentralisation of Jordan's Arab Spring
One feature of Jordan's protest movement is struggle from the margins - not the capital city - which still draw the largest crowds most Fridays. This has meant three things:
So, questions calling for desperate answers are being used by those on the outskirts to mobilise for a convergence upon the centre - in order to create a fixed "critical mass". This is yet to happen in Jordan. Partly, the "orderly" protest is owed to a strategic choice by key protest groups not to escalate. They have been happy putting out feelers and sending messages - something typical of Jordan's political culture (I spent time there during my doctoral fieldwork with the Islamists in the early and mid-1990s). Plus, Jordan's Islamists, amongst others, favour non-confrontation with the state. This will not change.
"There is a durable and polycentric protest movement in Jordan. To belittle the Arab Spring ... misreads an important pan-Arab political map."
However, the point is that there is a durable and polycentric protest movement in Jordan. To belittle the Arab Spring - as Prince Hassan did lately - misreads an important pan-Arab political map, which will not downsize an important development in Jordan, whereby society is parley-ing with the state.
The al-hirak al-sha'bi fi al-shamal, a coalition of protesters from the province of Irbid, still hold their Friday weekly meetings and marches. Al-Salt is another place with its own active protest movement.
So does the rally of Tafilah, tajammu' ahrar al-tafilah. One significance here is the banner raised to reveal anti-corruption slogans pointing the finger at the royal family. This was a first. The demands are real and echo cries along the lines of radical constitutional change, reforming the kingdom's security forces so that they are removed of public life, popular sovereignty, a free judiciary; and a trimming of the king's powers.
This is the territory where objects were hurled at the king's posse. Ahrar al-Tafilah ["Tafilha's Free"] wrote to King Abdullah II to voice all kinds of concerns about the state of political play. It is here also where powerful clan chiefs seem to be unhappy with corruption, the absence of development and reform.
The group calling itself 24 adhar ["24 March"] 2011, which includes a measurable segment of youth (high school and university students), have used the slogan al-sha'b yurid islah alnizam (the people want to reform the system). Note they do not use the word "overthrow" the system. This movement kick-started its protest campaign in March 2011, through gatherings in Nasser Square, also known as the square of al-dakhiliyyah (interior ministry).
The initial reaction by the security forces was ill-thought through, and led to one fatality. Also, thugs (the ever ubiquitous baltagiyyah) are deployed ruthlessly, often with police doing nothing to protect the public. This eventually changed; police began to give soft drinks to protesters, in some instances. The symbolic protest opposite the ministry was aimed at conveying a powerful message about opposition to iron fist tactics used by the mukhabarat (intelligence services). The king was not mentioned in these protests.
Generally this group campaigns on the basis of seven key demands: a representative parliament, an elected government, genuine constitutional reforms, combating of corruption, tax reform, banning police and security forces' violence and promoting national unity.
Another group takes the name of a month, 15 nisan - April 15 - still proactive. It is worth mentioning the tajammu' al-taghyeer min ajli al-islah, or rally for reform. It became an association for change - jamyiyyah al-watniyya taghyeer. Its first manifesto called for severance of ties with Israel. The reasoning seems to place blame of absence of reform on the kingdom's peace treaty with Israel. That is, the treaty is thought of as a kind of bribe in return for tolerance of a non-democratic system.
Corruption is present in their demands - especially return of allegedly stolen public lands - and they stress the importance of Jordanian-Palestinian relations and solidarity.
The role of Islamists
What is certain is that Jordan is part of the Arab Spring's geography of peaceful and sustained protest. The role of Islamists is important and deserves a special account.
There are two ideas to conclude with.
Prince Hassan's outburst gives one a strong sense of deja-vu: The late Gaddafi defying his people: "Who are you?" The rest is history. There lies a big lesson for the highly learned and cultured Prince Hassan (whose outburst is no more than storm in a cup of tea, and comparison with Gaddafi is unfair): Questioning Jordanians about their "forebears" - literally, grandfathers - is out of line.
Here comes the role of King Abdullah II: To ask his ministers, public servants and aides a different question - "What are your achievements?"
This is a good place to begin fixing the king's dilemma, and the mammoth task of mending the fortunes of a king, a kingdom and a great people.

Lions Hold Off St. Andrews in Final Minute
BROOKLYNVILLE, MD - The Molloy College Lions (1-1) picked up their first win of the season this afternoon, 13-12 over St. Andrews Presbyterian College (4-3). Molloy's Kevin Meekins (Levittown, NY) scored the eventual game-winner at the five-minute mark. The Lions defense and goalie Joe Labella (Massapequa, NY) held St. Andrews scoreless in the final two minutes to win the game.James Sampson (Massapequa, NY) opened the scoring for Molloy at the 11:33 mark of the first quarter. St. Andrews struck back with three straight goals to give them a 3-1 lead with 7:54 to play. The Lions then tied the game on consecutive goals by Dom Toscano (Plainedge, NY) and Mike Zabielski (Baldwin, NY). St. Andrews took another two-goal lead, but Toscano cut the deficit to one on a goal scored with 1:40 to play to make the score 5-4 at the end of the first quarter. The Lions controlled the second quarter, outscoring St. Andrews 3-1 to take a 7-6 lead into the break. Pat Aiello (Massapequa, NY), Toscano and Brian Himberger (New Hyde Park, NY) each scored in the second frame. Molloy went 5-7 on man-up situations and Labella made 10 first half saves.The third quarter was back and forth as St. Andrews immediately tied the game. Molloy took a two-goal lead after goals by Toscano and Sampson, but St. Andrews came right back and tied the game at 9-9 with 6:44 to play. The Lions then regained their two-goal cushion on goals by Steve Maier (Farmingdale, NY) and Rob Meier (Seaford, NY), taking an 11-9 lead into the final quarter. It took St. Andrews less than four minutes to tie the game at 11-11 in the fourth. The game remained tied until the 6:20 mark, when Tim Harrington (North Babylon, NY) scored to give Molloy the lead. Meekins then scored at the five-minute mark to make the score 13-11 Lions. St. Andrews drew within one at 2:18, but Molloy played incredible defense down the stretch and held St. Andrews to just two shots on their final possession.Toscano finished the game with four goals and an assist for five points. Maier had a goal and four assists, while Zabielski had a goal and three assists. Labella ended the game with 18 saves. Zabielski also led Molloy with eight ground balls.

Formatting Issues
Perhaps this is a case of "you can take the pilot out of technical writing, but you can't take the technical writer out of the pilot," but ... Wouldn't it be nice if the FAA consistently used change bars to indicate new material? In some places they used change bars, in others they didn't. And the summary of changes at the beginning of each PTS is classic FAA:
Added criterion number 9 to Section 1, Area of Operation IV, Task A Objective. Reason: Inadvertently omitted during last revision.
You'll have to flip a bunch of pages to discover that area of operation IV is "Takeoffs and Landings," task A is "Normal and Crosswind Takeoff and Climb," and the criterion number 9 that was added is "Rotates and lifts off at the recommended speed and accelerates to Vy." This sort of indirection is especially maddening if you are using an electronic device like an iPad to read the PTS, where flipping pages is tedious.
Interestingly, the FAA preserved a few blank pages to indicate material that was removed. Some of the pagination choices are poorly chosen, not ensuring the title of a section is kept with the bulk of the material that follows. Did I already mention this is annoying when viewing the document on a computer or iPad? I think I did ...
Introductory Material
The introduction to all of the PTS really need to be rethought (or at least edited) because they are a mishmash of mostly boring, repetitive boilerplate, occasionally peppered with useful and relevant information. For example, mentioning the importance of scanning for traffic and collision avoidance in a multitude of places is not an effective way to emphasize the importance of not running into other aircraft and may very well have the opposite effect.
The requirement that the oral portion of the test be competed before the flight portion, that the examiner develop a written plan of action, that a scenario will be used as part of the examination, that either the examiner or the candidate can terminate the test at any time, and that the test can only continue if the candidate agrees could all be stated much more clearly and with fewer words. Heck, it might even make candidates more likely to actually read the darn thing.
The judgement assessment matrix has been removed from both the private and commercial PTS. Next, the FAA is continuing an unfortunate choice they started with the Instrument Rating PTS: Including conceptual items on things like Risk Management, Aeronautical Decision-Making, and CFIT as part of the introductory narrative instead of listing them as Tasks within Areas of Operation. The intent seems to be that these items will be evaluated throughout the flight test as part of a scenario or "mission" created by the examiner, but why bury it in the introduction?
Significant Private PTS Changes
Private pilots candidates will now need to demonstrate an emergency descent, which could be interesting since some manufacturers of trainer aircraft do not provide specific guidance on how to accomplish this task.
The PTS now specifically says that an approved manufacturer's checklist or equivalent must be used. I have a big problem with this because many of the manufacturer's checklists are ... well ... crap. Ever look at the Cessna 172 AFTER LANDING checklist? It consists of one item - "Flaps UP."
Private pilot candidates will now need to be able to demonstrate specific knowledge of risk management, task management, and automation management. This should be a wake-up call for instructors who refuse to teach their students how to use the GPS or the autopilot installed in the plane because it is "cheating."
I expose my student pilots to a rejected takeoff early in their training so that they are spring-loaded to abort a takeoff rather than to takeoff regardless of what may be happening. This task is still missing from the private single-engine PTS, which I think is an unfortunate oversight.
Here are some other changes:
- Some new items added to the bibliography of references
- A list of abbreviations has been added
- The examiner must develop a scenario incorporating as many tasks as possible
- Some new special emphasis areas, including wire strike avoidance
- For multi-engine airplane, engine failure will not be simulated below 500' AGL
- For multi-engine airplane, the feathering of one propeller must be demonstrated unless the manufacturer prohibits it
- Specific details on issuing a Letter of Discontinuance
- Change Crew Resource Management (CRM) to Single-pilot Resource Management (SRM)
- Added requirements for Aeronautical Decision Making, Risk Management, Task Management, Situational Awareness, CFIT, and Automation Management
- Requirement to use approved manufacturer's checklist or equivalent
- Requirement that stall demonstrations recoveries be accomplished at or above 1500' AGL for single-engine or 3000' AGL for multi-engine unless the manufacturer recommends a higher altitude
- Inclusion of runway incursion avoidance criterion in several tasks
- Added "If a crosswind condition does not exist, the applicant's knowledge of crosswind elements shall be evaluated."
- Addition of Emergency Descent task
- Addition of a new Runway Incursion Avoidance task in the Preflight Procedures area of operation
Significant Commercial PTS Changes
Stalls for commercial applicants have an important change:
In accordance with FAA policy, all stalls for the Commercial Certificate/Rating will be taken to the "onset"(buffeting) stall condition.One assumes that some recent transport and commuter category aircraft accidents were the genesis for this change.
Several years ago, the FAA replaced the Emergency Descent in the commercial single-engine PTS with the Steep Spiral. Most examiners I've talked to think the Steep Spiral task is silly. Now the PTS has restored the Emergency Descent, which has real-world application. And the steep spiral? It's still in there and it's still silly.
Both single- and multi-engine commercial candidates must be prepared to demonstrate accelerated stalls, something that was previously a maneuver just for CFI candidates. Kudos to the FAA for a well-written description of how the accelerated stall is to be demonstrated.
For multi-engine applicants, the feathering of one propeller is now explicitly required:
The feathering of one propeller shall be demonstrated inflight, unless the manufacturer prohibits the intentional feathering of the propellers during flight. The maneuver shall be performed at altitudes above 3,000 feet AGL or the manufacturer's recommended altitude, whichever is higher, and positions [sic] where safe landings on established airports can be readily accomplished.
Some new items added to the bibliography of references
- Addition of new abbreviations
- The examiner must develop a scenario incorporating as many tasks as possible
- Some new special emphasis areas, including wire strike avoidance
- For multi-engine airplane, engine failure will not be simulated below 500' AGL
- Specific details on issuing a Letter of Discontinuance
- Requirement to use approved manufacturer's checklist or equivalent
- Addition of the Emergency Descent task
- Addition of the Accelerated Stall taskPreparation is KeyThis is just a basic summary of the changes. If you are a commercial or private pilot applicant, now is the time to get the new PTS, break out your highlighter, and make sure all you've covered all the bases.

Ask Janice Kapp Perry who her favorite LDS Church president is, and she might say David O. McKay. "He was the one I grew up with. He presided with such dignity. He was just what I thought a prophet should be."
Or, maybe she will say Gordon B. Hinckley. "He has so many qualities that I admire so much."
Or, maybe it would be George Albert Smith. "He was such a peacemaker and friend to all."
More likely, however, Perry will say it is impossible to choose a favorite because each one has so many things to love. She has recently been involved in a song-writing project that includes a Primary song for each of the presidents.
In researching the lives of the prophets, "it was amazing for me to realize anew how each prophet seemed to be just the right man for the challenges of his day," she says. "I got caught up in the project and just loved the time I spent writing on it. I couldn't wait to finish one and move on to the next."
Those songs, plus one that names each of the men all in one, have been compiled into a CD and piano/vocal songbook called "Let's Sing About Latter-Day Prophets."
The impetus for the project actually came from a friend who lives in North Carolina, says Perry. "She wanted their Primary children to be able to sing about all the modern-day prophets once a month in sacrament meeting. She asked if I would consider writing a children's song about each of the 15 prophets."
That call came at a time Perry had not been writing much music due to health concerns she had a stroke in July 2006.
"This really interested me and was a way for me to maybe get back into the writing mode," she says.
The singing project in North Carolina eventually fell through, "but by then I was hooked," Perry says. "I thought, 'I'm not quitting, this is too much fun.' I took them all one by one, and it was a wonderful experience."
It also became a true family project. Perry's son Steve and daughter, Lynne Christofferson, arranged and recorded the songs in Steve's home studio.
As Perry wrote the songs, she knew she needed to aim for variety, so they would not all sound alike. David O. McKay's song, for example, has a Scottish flavor because of his Scottish roots. Brigham Young's song is more western.
"Their arrangements are enchanting," says Perry with a mother's pride and a musician's ear. "The songs have all been produced in a unique way that seems to capture the interest of the children who have heard it so far."
And that is what she hopes for. So many of today's children have grown up just knowing Gordon B. Hinckley, she notes.
"They don't know as much about the earlier prophets because they've only lived with this one," she says. "I tried to include some of the main accomplishments and things they were all known for in each song."
Although it comes first in line, the Joseph Smith song was actually the last one she did. "I thought, 'how can I do justice to him?' His song talks about the restoration and is one of the more serious songs."
On the other hand, Brigham Young's song "was a lot of fun," Perry says.
Each of the men had amazing lives and offered a lot to write about. John Taylor was such a man of faith and service, Perry says. Wilford Woodruff kept copious journals that helped preserve the history of the early church.
Some of the songs include quirky little things. "Did you know that Lorenzo Snow was the shortest of all the prophets?" Perry says. "But he always seemed so tall. He was called 'a mighty man on earth."'
Perry says she didn't know much about Joseph F. Smith before starting the project.

SAN DIEGO — Single strong.
The defensive play of the game, as ordered by Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, was called "single strong." It meant that Broncos' strongside linebacker Von Miller could blitz in from the outer right edge.
"D.A. put us in a great situation," Miller said. "He called the right play."
The San Diego Chargers were going to win the game. A nice run by Ryan Mathews, who finished with 137 yards rushing, gave the Chargers a first-and-10 situation at the Broncos' 35 with the score 13-13 in overtime.
Two more runs moved the Chargers to the 31, but on third down, they wanted a few more to give kicker Nick Novak a comfortable field goal try. Instead, Miller sped through two blockers and dropped Michael Tolbert for a 4-yard loss.

"It was huge," Broncos coach John Fox said.
"The middle of the line did a great job getting a push and forcing him outside," Miller said. "I was able to crease the gap and make a play."
Novak was wide right with a 53-yard field-goal attempt. Maybe he makes it from 49. He missed from 53. The miss gave quarterback Tim Tebow and the Broncos' offense superb field position. When they finished their turn, Matt Prater kicked a 37-yard field goal for the victory.
As a pass rusher, Miller has been a disruptive force since he put on his No. 58 Broncos jersey. He had another sack in this game, giving him 10 1/2 for the season, the second-most by a Broncos' rookie. Miller has five games to get two more and break Rulon Jones' rookie record of 11 1/2 sacks set in 1980.
Run defense, though, was supposed to be Miller's weakness.
"That's what they say," Miller said, smiling. "Just like what they say about Tebow and his throwing motion and how he can't play."

USCCB President Archbishop Dolan Praises Controversial Bill Donohue
Taking to his blog yesterday, newly elected President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, wrote a piece entitled "Why we need the Catholic League, praising the right-wing Catholic group's figurehead Bill Donohue for his most recent efforts to stir conservative outrage over a manufactured controversy.
Dolan frames Donohue as a noble defender of the Church from anti-Catholic attacks, but ignores Donohue's controversial history–only acknowledging that "some may take occasional issue with his style." But the criticism of Bill Donohue isn't just about style, it's about substance too. Specifically, his track record of offensive, untrue and stridently partisan statements raise many questions as to whether the top American bishop should be endorsing him.
Donohue's problematic past includes promoting discredited links between pedophilia and homosexuality to scapegoat gays for the Church sex abuse crisis, blaming sex abuse victims for their abuse, calling Catholics he disagrees with "termites" and accusing them of disloyalty, and stoking anti-Muslim bigotry.
Donohue also has a troubling history of anti-Semitic comments. During an appearance on Scarborough Country in 2004 he claimed:
"Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It's not a secret, OK? And I'm not afraid to say it."
And given the chance to explain or retract his remarks, he chose to defend them instead.
Donohue's pattern of bombastic bullying and fear-mongering to stoke the culture wars represents the type of behavior that undermines the Church's credibility in the eyes of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Is this really the type of Catholicism Archbishop Dolan wants to endorse?
H/T Our Daily Thread
UPDATE: Catholics United has started a petition asking Archbishop Dolan to disassociate from Donohue.

Killing of Satan, The (1983)
Tying a snake into a knot is totally gangster.

Heh, being in the midwest, its not quite midnight here, we got motherfuckin' monday on motherfuckin' sunday, that's motherfucking early! Totally motherfuckin' awesome!

@DonSkiver Ha! I'm in MN and I've noticed that too, so I keep looking for updates at like 11 PM.Take that… MOTHERFUCKERS!
@[email protected] Yep watched it early from Missouri lol
who cares if you are first..that's like saying here you're first..okay..open your mouth and let me diarrhea ass on your face first!
great video!
I feel sorry for that kid buried under the rocks. And what the fuck is wrong with the parents in these movies? They didn't even call the rock-cops or whatever. They're worse than the parents from Spirited Away. But not by much.
I hope that wasn't areal snake he tied up, that's cruel.
@SkiddDog it was
Would be nice to see an updated video showing Mike's movie collection, since it apparently doubled when it first aired (and likely has many more movies as of today).
This weekly series could easily go on indefinitely in that case.
@MotherFucker [email protected] Those are a shitload of DVDs. You sir are a madman.
Wow, that movie looks like a steaming pile of non-awesome. Thanks for watching this so that I don't have to.
mf monday is awsome thanks mike
sorry mike..this movie and your commentary sucked ass…not trollin, but i very much disliked this one..sorry guys!..ima 4 year viewer of james so im not dislikin for shits n giggles…i just enjoyed myself a lot better than this shit video.
@MrBrrumpkins I guess every opinion is very respectable even if we all dont agree with each other and I might say that it took ball to say something like this. All I have to say is that "Philipino Charles Bronston" LMFAO was the sugar coat on this donut hahahaha
@[email protected] It took balls for him to troll a website?
I still can't watch the latest movies from this site. I have tried 4 different computers and all of them with the latest Adobe flash crashes. This is now starting to piss me off.
@andymate2012 Man That royally sucks :9 Have you tried different Browsers, resetting your router rebooting your computer, I wish you the best and hope you can figure out whats up with it.
It's not Monday yet….it's 10:53pm out here on the west coast. Thanks Mother Fucker for giving us something new to watch every Monday. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait for the Nerd Movie.
@ZombieKillerXXX He lives in Pennsylvania, which is on the east coast, which is where I also live, and over here, it's 2:24 in the morning. so it is Monday for Mike.
@Marvipe I know, and yes I do realize that. I was more or less saying it as a joke cause I know there from the east coast…..
This was great! xD
Oh, one more thing. I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Satan was rocking that Dracula cape at the end of the movie….what were they thinking? How can you confuse Dracula with Satan, and sense when does Satan were a god dam Dracula cape?
please swat kats
i wana watch this now
MrBigTrash on youtube has the movie. I found it.
The Killing of Satan star Ramon Revilla is a movie legend in our country. His son Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. is now a Senator, Producer, and Actor who also makes good movies.
Watch It, for nerds and straight guys out there…..this is more entertaining than any Twilight movies.

I miss James.
@JashinSlayer I miss him too but Mike's as great as James.
I miss James.
I bet this movie would be awesome in its original Tagalog. I just love cheesy 1980s Filipino movies.
@puroland I'm trying to learn Tagalog to impress my GF…Maybe those movies would help.
@Harri [email protected] Upang magsalita ito dapatmong absord ito!
@[email protected] [email protected] Had to use google translate for that.
But sounds like good advice. Maybe I'll try finding some interesting Philippino movies with english subs online…
@Harri [email protected] It really is an awesome language too!
These MF Mondays are awesome, thanks Mike!
What a silly piece of schlock film from the Philippines. The people there are awesome, but man they make some crazy films. Can't wait for next week's Motherfuckin' Monday. : )
Hm. I think I'll pass on that one. xD
mf monday! i love it! <3www.youtube.com/user/denderfurger
Very funny, thanks)
Thank God its Motherfucking Monday (:
WHAT was all that about?
you forgot to mention that classic line: "You're yellow, Satan!"
What the fuck did I just watch? Great review but wow I can't believe that piece of shit was even made! What happen to the guy who got his face ripped off? Did he die? Oh well I'm left with more questions than answers..I guess its best noit to ask the how or why…
@comicbookjerk You didn't watch anything. You saw a few snippets of footage, and a very brief plot synopsis. What happened to the guy who got his face ripped off? While you didn't see in the review, it probably explains in the movie. Unless you've seen the movie, you can't write it off, either. Just because Mike didn't care much for the film, doesn't mean you won't like it. Before you judge any film, you have to see it yourself first. Not trying to be rude, just saying.
@[email protected] I agree with you your totally right, I sit through alot of shitty comic book shows and movies and do video blogs and I couldn't agree with ya more you can never truly know how you feel about a movie unless you see it yourself, but Im glad Mike suffered through it so I don't have to because it doesn't sound like something I could watch I just happen to think the guy getting his face off and the girls chest blowing up was one of the coolest parts about this review I wish Half face guy had his own spin off lol
@[email protected] "Your totally right" Its You're. Now i'll go clean the blood in my eye.
Only a real man bitchlaps a snake.
so this is a old Filipino fantasy movie
is it me or 6:40 vagina costume?
Satan can't really be killed because his body was already destroyed during the Great Flood or possibly when the dinosaurs were killed by the asteroid(s). He should no longer have a body so you can't kill him. His soul is trapped on the Earth like the other fallen angels We seem them as ghosts because they still have shape-shifting powers. This movie was pointless. He should have fought against Dracula or someone like that.
Hot Damn! Everybody is getting likes for their comments! Let me try…………..um, BOOBIES ARE AWESOME!!!
@Nuketehbomb YES THEY ARE HERES A LIKE!!!!
motha fuckin' monday a good title.
"The child is a mute"–> *ding*!
That part especially made me laugh. Great review.
The best MM video so far.
Mike, where do you find all these shitty movies?
I now want to see this movie solely because of this review. It looks so bad, that I would probably like it and find it hilarious.
bimmy and jimmy kill satan
What the hell is this? I can't understand how people can make such movies…Great video Mike!
hey that a Filipino Movie i wonder whats the real title … the star is Ramon Bong Revilla Sr. he known for his folk lore movies.. like Landong Putik or Lando's Mud he has a magical amulet that makes him immune to bullets etc.. his son's and grand children in real life kinda follow his foot steps making folklore movies. we have alot of this movie try to look for "Panday" means Blacksmith staring Fernado Poe Jr.

The microphone-sound in this one is overmodulated quite often which makes it strenous to watch the video.
@MotherFucker Mike I watched all your videos so far and enjoy them, they didn't have the microphone problems like this video.
@MotherFucker Mike Though, I must add that I'm quite sensitive in this regard
@gomgomboy Common, don't be like that.
Great video Mike, I laughed hard when god just gave the guy a stick. And the video editing makes it even more funny
LOL! Mike you have out done yourself.
Cool Review Mike. Motherfuckin' Awesome!
this is so hilarious, I damn near pissed my pants from the title alone.
best movie eva
I have loved your videos so far, you do an awesome job finding some really shitty cinema history. You should look up a movie called 'Blood Lake' (1987)
epic review :d
Watched this earlier, i liked it alot.
This is an avgn page, not a mfm page xd
Made my Monday
You made my Monday
Super Mecha Death Christ is not amused
Ive seen the review it was a wackey movie
Fuck first
That is very very funny movie LOL.
Nice one Mike, you motherfucker! Who needs that James guy anyway?!
hooray for Motherfuckin' Mondays!
Is it just me or does this movie look totally awesome!?
It was awesome, crazy movie + cinemassacre = epic shit
Mike sure has gone a long way from "The backstage guy who draws title screens" to the epic Motherfucker Mike he is now!
Epic review's epic!
I have witnessed this movie myself and it was glorious.
Gotta find this, have to see it. Just have to.
I really love your reviews mike! Though i was kinda dissapointed you really didnt share your opinion except at the last part where you said it could go straight to hell.Love the reviews though! Keep it up!
An excellent movie choice Mike, this will be another great one to trick my friends into watching. Although, you did not tell as many jokes this vid, why not?
God is a Filipino? Good to know that.
God is a Filipino? Good to know that.
When he gives his opinions, everyone complains.
When he holds back for you, everyone complains.
Just enjoy the video for cryin' out loud. Great one, Mike. Pretty please do the '30th Anniversary' edition of Night of the Living Dead.
Thanks god.. OMG hahahaha histerical. Love this web
Am I the only one that thinks Mike is funnier than James?
@Lady Lolita They both have their funny moments but damn i find mike so much funnier.
lo is different, and is good too
Kickass job, Mike. I really hope this is going to be a permanent series on Cinemassacre.
Mike, you like what that guy does to the snake? That's terrible abuse. =/
All these movies are so freaking awesome. They are perfect for the MST3K treatment.
great job mike
YES! I finally found it! Fuck yeah! Thanks you Motherfucking lovable bastard, this made my next couple of days.
Leaving it slightly ambiguous whether you like or dislike the movie… you are indeed a motherfucker.
@gamers_love_sprite He said the movie could go straight to hell. What's ambiguous about that?
What a toilet full of krap this movie is.
Amazing job, Mike!!! This movie sounds like shit and I might wanna watch it for that reason, for a good laugh I mean!
I remember when James reviews Deathstalker, I decided to watch it together with a friend and to this day we still laugh about how horrible that was!
So that is why I had never heard of this movie..
It went straight to Hell

We invite you to join us at the ACIS Mid-Atlantic regional conference at Manhattan College in Riverdale, NY. In what ways do Irish urban spaces and urban concerns shape national policy or culture in Ireland? How does Irish urban geography, or the representation of it (in film, fiction, poetry and popular culture), inform our positions as scholars of Irish history, literature, and identity?
The 2011 ACIS mid-atlantic conference invites submissions that focus on how the urban site has historically engaged the complexity of Irish culture in relation to either economics, literature, secularization and globalization. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
The Queen's recent visit to Ireland and Northern Ireland
Both individual papers and panel submissions (3-4 participants) are welcomed, as are proposals for presentations in non traditional formats (posters, performances, exhibits.

Bloated Zebra Danio
I've noticed that one of my Zebras has slowly been gaining weight. I would guess that it is eating most of the food I feed them since only one of the school of 6 is getting fatter.
Is there anything I can do in this situation other than separating the fish?
If you think its constipated, you can give them a unthawed frozen pea, blanch first and take it out of the shell. If it is just greedy, you can put food in one side of the tank for him and feed the others on the other side, maybe tricking him a little so the others can get some. Good Luck............
