Frozen Soundtrack dominates music sales, Little Mix announce headlining tour, Echosmith advances in 2014 MTV News Musical March Madness, Alyson Stoner at Lights. Camera. Cure., Brian Littrell says BSB working on tour with the Spice Girls, A busy week for Thomas Kasp, Tickets now on sale for An Intimate Night with Action Item
Still #1! Sales of the Frozen Soundtrack definitely got a generous bump with the release of the Blu-ray and DVD last week. The end result, 200,000+ copies were sold. That's a 121% increase in sales from the previous week. At this point, it's not to early to suggest the 2013 release could end up being the best selling album of 2014. (Source: HITS Digital Ventures)
Just over a week ago Little Mix finished their run on Demi Lovato's Neon Lights U.S. Tour and the girls have already announced they're coming back. On September 16th they'll kick off their first U.S. headlining tour – The Salute Tour. In all honesty, this tour could be a bad thing for the group as they struggled to draw any traffic at personal appearances and private radio shows over the last month. For more details on The Salute Tour visit Ticketmaster.com.
Echosmith has moved on to the Round 2 of the 2014 MTV News Musical March Madness. Acts knocked out in the first round include: American Authors, Haim, Imagine Dragons, Lorde, OneRepublic, Rixton, Taking Back Sunday, and We The Kings. To show your support, visit MTV.com.
Alyson Stoner pulled out all the stops at her performance at the Lights. Camera. Cure. charity event at the Avalon Theater on Sunday. The triple-threat was joined on stage by eight backup dancers for her performance of Dragon (That's What You Wanted). Check out clips from the show on YouTube.
On Sunday, The Sun reported that Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell said that "We are actually in early talks about maybe doing a world tour together with the Spice Girls." One side note if this does happen, odds are good the reunion will not include Victoria Beckham who's publicly stated in the past she has no interest in being a Spice Girl anymore.
Things are definitely happening with Thomas Kasp. Last night, the actor played with the Hollywood Knights Basketball Team at Glendora High School (pictured above). Tonight, he'll be guest starring on Melissa & Joey (ABC Family) , and tomorrow you can watch for him on the premiere of Surviving Jack (FOX).
This morning, tickets will go on sale for An Intimate Night with Action Item. This special four date tour will include no opening acts, new music, and plenty of hang time with the band after the show.

Linguas OS
Nevertheless, let me take this opportunity to remind visitors that we are NOT hosting the download on this site, nor are we claiming any authorship or ownership of the software (or even the reprinted material provided here).
The distro and packages can be found in a few places, including from torrents and Tony Baldwin's own site (LinguasOS.wikidot.com). However, Mr. Baldwin has quite clearly indicated that he has little interest in the project anymore. He's now spending time building a client base for his robust enterprise seo services. You'll note that seo has taken over much of his time, and as more and more businesses rely on the search for leads, his business has taken up more and more of his time. We're more than willing to re-direct traffic to anyone who happens to pick up the reins (in the event that anyone does so, of course).
If you didn't already know, Linguas OS is a project developed by Tony Baldwin as a demo for a translators conference. The goal was to adapt a Linux operating system distribution (based on PCFluxboxOS) with tools and apps specifically chosen to assist translators.
- The most recent release (1.1) of Linguas OS was in January of 2008, and the author has stated that this project is no longer in development.
- The Linguas OS Yahoo Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/linguasos/) still exists, but the last (relevant) message was posted in October of 2009 by Mr. Baldwin himself, explaining that the project had "fizzled to a halt last year".
- The Linux for Translators Yahoo Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/linuxfortranslators/) is still going strong, however, so LinguasOS users may find support there. In case you didn't already know, Yahoo Groups sometimes requires a (free) membership to view posts, depending on how the specific group is set up.
Linguas OS is fully configurabe! Want to change the boring default desktop (what? don't like my Linguas OS wallpapers?) Go ahead! This shows Linguas OS, after install, including the Gimp for image manipulation (what I used to create all of the Linguas OS artwork, and artwork for my sites) and XMMS (winamp for linux), which aren't included on the CD but will be on the DVD, and, are also easily installable using synaptic, if you install from the CD. Pretty, huh? This is my current desktop (27/12/07)

Girl In Iron Man Tights Shows Off Sick Hula Hoop Skillz
This is a video of hula hoopspert Rachael Lust showing off all her hooping tricks and stunts. Clearly she has been practicing. I actually didn't learn to hula hoop until two summers ago. I just tried it one night when I was drunk and finally understood how to do it. Then the next morning I woke up and tried to do it again but couldn't. Now I get drunk every night and try to chase that dream. "Sounds like a thinly veiled excuse to get drunk every night." I'M CHASING A DREAM.
Keep going for the video, but feel free to skip around because most of the crazier shit is later.
Thanks to me, for being strong enough to admit I totally don't have a problem. I don't even know what you're talking about, doctors are all quacks anyways.

This is a special liberty alert for citizens who are serious about protecting their liberties and freedoms. The anti-gun tyrants, both inside and outside of government, have renewed their calls for massive, nationwide gun control laws. The renewed push is in response to the shootings in California over the weekend.
U.S Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., appeared as a guest Sunday morning on Face the Nation to renew calls for drastic and restrictive gun control laws in response to the shootings. The march toward nationwide firearms restrictions as a consequence of the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut served as the impetus for the push for gun restrictions. While several states in the northeast succeeded in passing such laws, the movement fizzled as the rest of the country made it clear that it is grossly unfair to blame all citizens for the actions of a tiny minority of dangerous criminals or severely mentally ill persons.
It is presumed that Blumenthal's renewed push to infringe on a right that the Constitution clearly states "shall not be infringed" will meet the same fate as the anti-gun push that occurred just after Sandy Hook. But when it comes to the forces of anti-freedom who wish to restrict citizens' rights across the board, from gun rights to freedom of speech, it is a mistake to presume anything. Collectivists never give up in their attempts to attack and roll back human liberty.
In addition, it should be noted that the latest shootings in California occurred in a state that has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation. The collectivists who have managed to take over state government, from the governor's office to the legislature, and to it's two U.S. senators, have made sure that wacko environmentalist extremists have crippled the state's economy and to make sure that ordinary citizens are deprived of their use of guns. Yet it is here where the latest massacre occurred. The same thing was true about Connecticut.
The anti-freedom opportunists further fail to mention that three of those killed in California were stabbed, not shot. Yet so far, no one, not Sen. Blumenthal, not the leftwing family of the shooter, and nobody in the mainstream media has called for knife control or knife bans. In fact, most news reports failed to emphasize the fact that three of the victims were stabbed to death. College students in California are unarmed, disallowed to carry handguns, making them sitting ducks for madmen who go on murderous rampages.
Taking these matters a step further, information has been passed along that the vast liberty underground movement is taking the latest gun control push very seriously and with some degree of alarm. Gun rights activists lost a major case in D.C. recently when a judge ruled that its infringements on the Second Amendment do not violate the Constitution, in spite of a Supreme Court ruling just a few years ago that struck down most of D.C.'s oppressive firearms laws. Many believe that another showdown is headed for the Supreme Court over gun rights and that this time Second Amendment supporters may be handed a bitter and disappointing loss.
The other issue is that Democrats are running scared now that polls across the country are showing that they will lose control of the Senate and fail to win the majority in the House. This will mean that Barack Obama's extremist agenda will get nowhere, and there will be no Harry Reid in the Senate to block progress on much needed legislation on a myriad of issues. A major shift in power in the Senate could also enable Republicans to override Obama vetoes. Thus, many believe that collectivist extremists see the next few months as their very last chance at getting something major done about rolling back the gun rights of citizens. If they don't do it by November, it is probably a dead issue for at least several years to come.
One more cause for alarm is that the more government collectivists and extremist citizens who support taking away legal protections of the rights delineated in the Constitution, the more civil disobedience will be practiced. Americans have a long history of ignoring laws they believe are asinine and unnecessary. And multimillions have already said they will never allow any more gun and ammo restrictions to change their behavior.
This is key. The reason? As the nation witnessed at the Bundy ranch in Nevada, the armed cabal of the government tyrants are more than willing to point high powered, long-range assault rifles at citizens who are protesting peacefully. Had someone among the government tyrants fired a shot, that one shot would have plunged the nation into civil war. That is how close we came to war right here on our own soil.
If the anti-gun tyrants are serious about continuing to infringe on a right that our Constitution forbids being infringed, then one can rest assured that this course of action will lead straight to civil war.
In 1999 Mike Vanderboegh wrote a treatise titled, "Six Lessons I Have Learned from the 20th Century." It is vital reading. Here are a couple of key excerpts:
LESSON NO. 1: If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and take you someplace you do not want to go because of who you are or what you think -- kill him. If you can, kill the politician who sent him. You will likely die anyway, and you will be saving someone else the same fate. For it is a universal truth that the intended victims always far outnumber the tyrant's executioners. Any nation which practices this lesson will quickly run out of executioners and tyrants, or they will run out of it.
LESSON NO. 2: If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and confiscate your firearms -- kill him. The disarmament of law-abiding citizens is the required precursor to genocide.
LESSON NO. 3: If a bureaucrat tells you that he must know if you have a firearm so he can put your name on a list for the common good, or wants to issue you an identity card so that you be more easily identified -- tell him to go to hell. Registration of people and firearms is the required precursor to the tyranny which permits genocide. Bureaucrats cannot send soldiers to doors that are not on their list.
There is much more and it is therefore essential reading. Mike has been so dedicated to attempt to stop a civil war from happening that he has incessantly warned those in power what will happen if they continue down the present course toward a centralized all-powerful government entity that restricts the natural rights of citizens. The hope is that these warnings will give those in power pause, pause to consider the real consequences for themselves and for the nation as a whole unless they begin to leave the citizens alone.

Wayne Sermon (far right) and his bandmates from Imagine Dragons. Interscope Geffen A&M/Publicity.
Today, May 20, Imagine Dragons returns to Utah to perform for a sold-out crowd at the UCCU center in Orem. For founding member/guitarist and Utah native Wayne Sermon this is more than just a welcome to the new age, it's a welcome home.
We chatted with Sermon to chat about his homecoming.
What's your favorite thing about Utah?
"It's my home. I was born and raised there; it's what I know. I was born just minutes from American Fork Canyon where I spent a lot of time going up into the mountains and that, for me, is one of the biggest selling points for Utah—just the amazing mountains. I think that rivals any other state for sure. Our main destination for plaining family vacations was always Bryce Canyon or Zion Canyon, [also] I did a lot of skiing growing up so Utah was a great place for me to be raised."
What's it like to come back home to Utah topping the Billboard charts?
"Honestly, I just feel humbled by the whole thing. I feel very grateful. I know that's probably boring, but thats kind of how I feel. I mean, there's so many bands in the world and there's so many people that want to be doing what I'm doing and want to be doing what Imagine Dragons [are] doing. Obviously we try to work extremely hard to generate as much luck as we can in the industry, and I think that whatever we lack in talent we try to make up for and be hard working, but at the same time, there is luck involved in any business."
What were some of your favorite places to perform while starting out in Utah?
"Velour in Provo was a huge help to us. Corey Fox, who owns Velour, definitely gave us a chance early on when we were nobodies. He likes to kind of harbor that—he likes to [provide] a place where bands can go who don't have any fans yet, so if he believes in the music and believes in the band he'll give them a chance. That was like a second home to us."
Your music is rather unique. It almost feels like the next evolution in rock music. Your lucrative rise to fame has been called the "age of dragons." What are your thoughts on that?
"We're an alternative rock band at our core but we also like to mix different elements in our music. We've never felt confined to one genre, [but] we are riding on the shoulders of other amazing bands—we love bands like Arcade Fire, they have a sound that has always been interesting to us, they're the real deal. There are countless others—Foster the People, Passion Pit, who all helped kind change the game of alternative music. They're these kind of bands that can crossover into pop music again that are more alternative acts. That's a huge deal and we're sort of riding that wave as well; it's definitely a big group effort to try and get alternative music into peoples hands."
I've seen a lot of strange music videos, but the Imagine Dragons' video for "Radioactive" is up there as one of the strangest—could you talk a bit about what that video represents?
"That one was a fun one for us to shoot. We grew up watching Labyrinth with David Bowie and all [of] those creepy puppets that were [in] there. At the end of the day, we didn't want to give our fans what was expected of the video. It's an intense video in that it's about this uprising and self-empowerment that happens, but it just happens to happen to a pink teddy bear. People either like it or are very confused by it."
What is the Tyler Robinson Foundation and what connection do you have with it?
"We met Tyler at Velour actually. He was at a show and we heard about his story and we met him and talked to him and we just sort of became inspired by his battle with cancer. We became friends with him and up until the end, we were in contact with him; he passed away pretty abruptly to the cancer. We were definitely moved by him as a person and we wanted to in some way help the cause, so we started a foundation in his name. It's really just to help families pay for the treatment costs that are included in cancer treatment."

Religion isn't my thing. I grew up Catholic, not because I wanted to, but because my parents set it up that way. I attended church, but was bored by it. I drifted off mentally when at mass, thought about the next Little League game, scanned for the cute girls in attendance. I found the customs involved in the whole deal strange--men in sci-fi garb, and such-- and that much stranger as I got older, and read stories in the newspapers of cases involving priests' misdeeds.
I found it hard to conceive that any human being could successfully pledge their full-allegiance to an unseen deity, and rebuff internal urges to procreate, or fornicate. Year after year, I sipped the Kool Aid dutifully, trying to develop a taste for the Godstuff...and periodically, I will still try a thimble full here or there, whisper a prayer while lying in bed. But all in all, it ain't for me.
I try to keep an open mind for those who are believers; after all, knowing what we know about the world, anything that works as a salve, as long as it isn't a self-destructive substance, people should have access to it. And bless 'em if they find something that works.
But in many cases--maybe it's the journalist in me, the part of me that searches for the contradictions, the elements that can be fixed, for the betterment of the masses, not the uppermost classes--I tend towards the mildly jaded and cynical when it comes to those who worship overtly. Quiet reverence is one thing; a grandma who goes about her business, but pops into church every AM for some contemplation and devotion time, as she sends hopeful messages to a higher power, so that her grandkids lead a full and healthy life, and her sciatica disappears and her friend Bertha's cancer is removed, who the hell am I to say anything about? But those that worship, and proselytize, who feel a need to spread the good word, incessantly, in any context, well, the cynic in me often silently judges. Why the need to testify and try to sway wayward souls into the flock? I'm an each to his own guy, again, as long as your behavior doesn't affect others. You want to build an altar in your living room, and sip grape juice and pretend it's the blood of someone or another, really, that's your business. But if you're out and about, as a public figure, and you spend a bunch of your time extolling the virtues of your movement, and work like the dickens to sell us on that movement, a movement which I believe, all due respect, condones sexism and bigotry, against women and homosexuals...then I got a bit of a problem with that. Even if you are a person who seemingly believes fully and deeply that what you are spouting is the truth. Even if I sense that you aren't one of these folks who uses the "word of God" as a weapon, who uses your religious beliefs as a salve but also as a weapon, as a rationale to justify your views on same-sex marriage, or birth-control, or abortion, or other matters which are in my mind purely no one's business but your own, and certainly not the business of an elected government official to impact, or a church leader to influence.
Over the years, when coming across stories that hinted, or outright stated that Manny Pacquiao was a man of severe contradictions, that his humble, affable public persona hid another side, one that gave in temptation, and behaviors which impacted his loved ones negatively, I found myself looking past them. I found myself justifying them, glossing over them. When I heard about drinking, gambling, cockfighting, and so many "where there's smoke there's got to be fire" rumors about marital infidelity, I found myself looking past them. When Floyd and company alleged that many got help via PEDs, I frankly dismissed that grenade out of hand. Rightly, I think, because we've seen no proof of that, but wrongly, perhaps, because I took a shine to his personality. Manny doesn't come off as someone who would cheat, I thought to myself. I think regular readers know that I've been trying to come to grips with that of late, that I've tried to hash out in my brain if we, the press, have treated Pacquiao, because of that humility and affability, more favorably than, say, a less humble person, like Floyd Mayweather.
With Pacquiao's recent full-on immersion into his religion, his almost Born Again status, I have found myself looking at him with a new set of eyes. Or, perhaps, a new bias. Because of my personal belief that religion is too often a misused opiate of the masses, too often used as a tool of destruction, rather than what it could and should be, a means to achieve a measure of serenity and contentment that is difficult to attain, and a blueprint to aid man in overcoming his inherent selfishness, and move towards selflessness, I have looked and listened as Manny preached with a sense of detachment and even slight skepticism. When the Pacquiao-Ampong same-sex marriage flap erupted, I admit, my view of the Congressman took a slight dive. I see marriage as an issue of love, not gender, and dismiss the viewpoint that sees it as anything but as a biased one. I believe--and please get back to me in 20 years on this--that history will bear out my stance in coming decades, just as it did on the subject of the right of women and blacks to vote, for instance. Yet, I didn't scorn Manny because of his biases the same way I do some of the US politicians who portray themselves as good Christians..and then vote to reduce food stamps to needy children, or deny the right of two people who love each other to get married. Why? I guess because I sensed his faith, his recent immersion, was genuine. But...I don't know if it is. Nobody really does except for Manny. After all, before recent fights over the years, we heard about how he was in the best shape of his life, that he was training as hard as could be. Now, we learn that he was sometimes up all night partying, and showing up to the gym as fresh as Charlie Sheen mid-bender. Yes, yes, I know that the boxing business is one where promotion is instrumental in success. But sue me; I tend to believe, oftentimes, people at face value. When a boxer says he is coming to the ring looking to do damage, and then like David Haye fights like a scared Golden Glover, I feel cheated. That's naivete, you could argue. I don't fight it, because it shows I haven't tipped towards full-on veteran reporter cynical.
I am still trying to hash out how I feel about the new Pacquiao. Part of me feels duped, like I was sold some BS about the old Manny. But that is my issue, and, frankly, more germane to me personally, and my attempts to figure out my existence and the ways of the world, than it is to TSS. What is germane to TSS, though, is how Manny's conversion will affect him in the ring on Saturday night, against Timothy Bradley. Colleague Ron Borges wrote about how Bradley is something of a skeptic on "new Manny."
"I knew sooner or later all the distractions would catch up with him,'' Bradley said of Pacquiao's chaotic public and private lives to Borges. "He's here. He's there. He's fornicating. Now he's got his religion in place? I want to finish the job.''
Good for Bradley, for articulating what too many of us are afraid, or unwilling, for whatever reasons, to voice. He is questioning the veracity of Manny's newfound faith. He's thinking that it only came about, to this degree of devotion, because it was forced upon him. Bradley, or so it has appeared as we've watched him these last two months, seems to possess a genuine faith in a higher power, and seems to actually walk the walk in his personal life as well. Unless it emerges later that we've been conned, it seems to me that he is reverent towards his wife Monica and kids, and doesn't need to fill any vacuums with drinking or screwing around or massive gambling. So, I'm left to wonder, will that true-blue devotion and seeming serenity manifest itself in the ring, and propel Bradley to an upset win on Saturday over Pacquiao?
I asked Pacquiao about the faith issue before the Ampong thing popped up. I wanted to know if the newly bolstered faith would impact him as a boxer. Why, I asked, did you indulge in untoward activities?
"I read the Bible, it's my manual for life," Pacquiao told me. "Before (my conversion) I pray, I always pray. I believed in God's dream to follow," he said, but that he wasn't sure how exactly to follow the directions to be "good." That, he said, is why he indulged in "gambling and girls" and the like. "I read the bible now to follow the commandments of God."
I asked Manny what Bible verses in particular spoke to him. Matthew 5:48, he said, is favorite: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Another is John 8:47, Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." I admit, that second especially throws me, as it seems to be a diss on those who don't follow God as Manny and members of his particular flock see him. If a person is good, and does good acts, I frankly don't give a hoot if he belong to the Church of the Potted Plant. He's doing good, being a benefit to society, and that's all that matters, to me. But I digress...
So, will the heavy duty faith keep you from trying to knock Bradley's head off?
"In the ring I get to entertain people," Pacquiao told me. "I want the people to be happy."
Trainer Freddie Roach also told me that the new faith level won't diminish his skills as a boxer. "Manny gave up all distractions, now it's just one distraction," he said. "It's not too hard reading the Bible. Now, he's not going away, not going to cockfights or casino. He hasn't drank in over a year. He's given up all that's bad for him. He realized his mistakes, him and his wife are getting along great. His life is less confusing for him and all of us."
Me, I'm of the Freddie school on religion, I think. (I bet he grew up a Massachusetts Catholic, as I did, lol.) But I wondered, has Manny yanked him into the flock?
"Manny hasn't invited me yet to Bible study. I'm waiting for that to happen. I'm not a religious person, but it won't kill me."
So, will Manny still go for the kill, or feel pity for the fool, if he gets Bradley buzzed?
"I worried at first," Roach told me. "I wanted to see his work ethic. He still beats the s--t out of me. He says "sorry," and hits me again. I was a little worried about that, not wanting to hurt people, but it's the oldest sport in the world. Maybe God was into boxing too. I'm not worried at all about him being soft, he's the same fighter, just no more distractions and vices... except for Bible, and that's a pretty good vice in my book."
You might recall George Foreman went through a conversion himself. He lost to Jimmy Young in Puerto Rico on March 17, 1977 (UD12). He went to his dressing room and was reborn. "I died in the dressing room and had my vision of Jesus Christ being crucified," he said after. "God wanted me to lose that fight so that I could lose my life. That's not an excuse; that's the truth...I walked out of that dressing room with peace of mind for the first time in my life." Foreman left the sport, became a preacher, and then re-entered the ring a decade later. His faith held steady, to this day. I reached out to Big George, to help get a better sense of the Pacquiao conversion, and ask if the infusion of faith will help or hurt the Filipino in the ring.
Has he been following the Pacquiao-is-reborn storyline?
"I've been kind of watching it," Foreman told me. "It seems to be sincere. That's what you want."
Foreman said he met Pacquiao at the birthday bash for Muhammad Ali in January. "We sat and talked religion," the ex heavyweight champion said. "He is sincere." Foreman said being the man is hard, that there is nobody surrounding you when you are out and about to tell you no, that isn't a good idea. "I was right and rich," he said of his pre-conversion days, "and who's going to tell me I can't say or do that?"
I did for the benefit of disclosure admit to Foreman my own stance on religion, by the way, so he could know where I was coming from. And, interestingly, without me mentioning Pacquiao's same-sex marriage flap, he touched on the issue of religious figures judging others and using Bible passages to justify it. "Just because you find religion," Foreman said, "you shouldn't shut the door on thinking. The Bible is the truest love letter." Foreman said we should give Pacquiao time, let him grow into the faith, and we will see if his actions match his words. "Like Mother Theresa, she went out and demonstrated her beliefs. You can't get tangled up in deeds. Show me how religious you are by the deeds you do. Those people that do the Meals on Wheels, I'd rather see that than preaching on the street or praying for five hours. If Manny has extra money, he can donate it to the Meal on Wheels program. That's full-time Holy Ghost religion."
Foreman agrees with Roach, that the new religiosity won't affect Pacman's ability to finish a foe. But he might be stung, Foreman said, if the cheers turn to boos. "If you're religious, and you get hit, and they go crazy, it's the most lonely feeling in the world," he said. "Pacquiao will have to deal with that."
All in all, Foreman stresses that we should be patient with Pacquiao. "We never wait and see. It will take time. It took me thirty years to figure out that I was not called to preach against anyone and anything, but to tell people how great God is. Because once you say it out of church, it's no longer religious, it's politics."
Radam is going to have a field day with this thread.
Good work, Ed. Gutsy and to the point. As a shrink, it never came as a surprise that their are layer and personas - a whole subcommittee of Manny could be a fight-for-his-life-, fight-for-the-sheer-pleasure-of-it....and then, there's the absent authority, the absent limits that coalesce into the image of a deity "out there" who wrote a book on how to live, removing all doubt, removing the sense of being alone and conflicted. Of course it is all a figment - a figment that has sculpted civilization, for better and worse, more worse than better in the big picture. But it does remain to be seen whether, reassurances from Manny and Freddie aside, that demand to be perfect like Jesus, that idea of god paying personal attention to your behavior, dulls the spontaneity and hence the snap, the reflexes, the desire to KTFO.....
I can empathize the authors point of view,.. it's the way most athiests and non-belivers think...
People generally think of God as some austere invisible Giant,... an Angry Daddy hovering over us from the depths of the Cosmos as he stares down upon us,.. scowling at our imperfection. Nothing could be further from the truth.
This primitive misconception is due to a lack of knowledge.
However Christianity is not the promoter of passivity. (at least not in the sense of taking crap for no reason)
David (who later became King of Israel) was tasked to clear out the local hostile municipalities surrounding the "promised land".
He was given instruction from God to wipe out every sign of life in the neighboring villages.
David and his army killed the soldiers, the women, the children and also their enemies pets. (dog, cats and parakeets)
Today the state of Israel (Gods' original people) boasts one of the most powerful Air Force and advanced armies on the planet.
(wonder where that comes from?)
The Bible says to be mild as doves yet wise as serpents.
I know there's tons of contradictions in the bible and that's part of it's beauty. The stories and passages of the bible are interwoven,.. they contradict,... They expand and contract, The Bible is organic literature that gives life and in the end,..even confirms itself.
According to the Bible,.... God is flexible enough to use prostitues, murderers, cowards, outcasts and the least likeliest people on earth to facillitate his word.
The passage about "be ye perfect for I am perfect..." means to live a holy life so you can receive the full benefit of your faith.
the other one about being able "hear" the word or not.... is not nearly as spooky and convoluted as it sounds. It simply refers to being able to referrence the spiritual codecies for each of lifes various circumstances as we are confronted by them according to Gods blueprint for a fulfilled life. .
Previous Boxers who were/are champions of the faith as well as the ring like Holyfield and Ward never had any conflict of ideals as they practice their choosen craft(boxing).
I seriously doubt that Pacman will suscribe to some primitive version of Christianity that would conflict with his ability to perform at his hard-punching best.
There's much more that I can say, but I'll leave it at that.
Loved the article and responses.
Wow! I'm gonna let that thread slide.
But God Was The First Boxer. Did He Not Whup da double fudge hebejeebeez outta the angel Lucifer and threw his arse outta Heaven into Hades. That is why everything in the world is jived up nowadays. Lucifer has been saying, "Danggit, God, it hot down here, so I gonna fudge with those new creatures -- humans -- you just made until judgement day." And that is when Rev. [Big] George said, "Fudge yo,' Satan! Yo' arms are too short to box with God." And that is how the fight game got started. And ____ ____ ___ ____!
Cain knocked da syet outta his little brother Abel with a bone of a jacka$$. David used his little slingshot with a peddle in it, and knocked da pi$$ed outta Goliath and then cut his big, ole head off. Jacob got his arse beatdown by the angel ___ __. The angel __ ___ whup dat arse so bad that Jacob became Israel. ___ ___ ___ ___. Now thousand of generations go by, and Da Manny is born, act up for a bit, then returns to serving God, as Israel's Jewish descendant Da BobFather says, "As long as no holy sh*t mess with da moola. And of Course, Da Manny, after remembering how those nuns use to slap the syet outta him for using his left is gonna have a flashback and because Godly. Dat jive HURT!
YUP! That's RIGHT! Da Manny knows how God let violence smack da double fudge holy __ ___ ___ outta you. "And the Bible tells [him] so!" So he is on a Godly Mission to whup da Cali Cranium Crusher for head smacking everybodee and dey momma.
Now it is all coming back to me. The Catholic nuns didn't only slap your left hand -- for being born left-handed -- they would butt the syet outta you for being hardheaded like a Radam G. I remember when I got butted by Nun Sister Kim. She looked just like Tim. And I bet that she was bald under that head cover. Hehehehe! Da Manny is gonna Whoopa Whop dat sucka Bradley. Bradley is gonna be in a lot of pain without any glory. End of Story.
Excuse me. This lady is eyeballing me. She is one of the Sin City's "Hos for Jesus."
Danggit! Now even the hos are following the lead of Da Manny. I'm pretty sure that their new belief in God won't halt 'em from doing dat wild thang [sic]! And it won't halt Da Manny from BANG! BANG! BANG! Whoopa Whop dat ARSE! Holla!
Good words - however, it is not a matter of what Pac consciously subscribes to. It is all about what re-working is going on in his head that makes him STOP his impulses (sex, drink....just a few steps away from aggression), and, hence, make him less comfortable with his own destructiveness in the ring. Maybe it was leg cramps against Marquez and Mosley that made him nowhere near the seek-and-destroy, lightning-strike killer. Or maybe it was a man no longer all that comfortable in his deepest self with causing injury to another, even though money and adoring fans still drove him to. Obviously faith does not operate the same way in everybody - millennia of killing, maiming, and conquest in the name of god is proof of that. But when someone makes a dramatic change, one that makes him put the brakes on large areas of his life, it suggests that something big is going on. It is not about the nature of god or the bible. It is the nature of man, and how he handles his own conflicts.
interesting stuff Mort,... my original comments were mostly in direct response to the contents of the article,... it was your stimulating post that got me to read and respond.
I have been the caregiver for 2 schizophrenic patients off and on for the last few decades,..psychology is a hobby for me for personal reasons, I find that patients who go to church are more stable than those who don't ....... but I am clearly NOT a psychologist. I would be out of my depth to try to debate raw psychology with you.
One of my favorite stories in the Bible is when the decendants of Abraham attack one of the local monarchs for an crime he committed against Abrahams family, they capture and cut off the kings big toes and forced him to eat scraps from the dinner table off the floor,....just like the kings he defeated before Abraham caught up with him.
In contrast,... there has been many misdirected deeds committed in the name of the Bible,.. the Crusades,.. Jim Jones,.. even the practioners of slavery used the bible as a means of control. But trillions of dollars, medical, social, and educational aide has been contributed by various Christian Charities over the last 2000 years.
Most civil and criminal and business law that we have today originated directly or indirectly from the Book of Leviticus, and other Old Testimant sources. Ancient Judaic law is the still ingrained in many aspects of the litigation process.
It's my opinion that Christianities benefits far outweight it's liabilities.
Just respectfully disagreening with a small portion of your comments.
What interested me most is the implication that Manny's leg cramps could be the physical manifestation of some subconcious response to his Life choices.
Subconscious psychological effects can be valid for a wide variety of physical and emotional behaviors....as I we been told by mental health experts and PBS Channel.
In Pac's case however I think that when a streetwise kid who grew up in poverty and ascended to pinnacle of professional boxing, having become wise and worldly through his travels and transactions with many promoters and the seedy underworld of the fight game,... when that Man makes a decision to drop the things he feels is not conducive to facillitate his walk with Christ,..I think he's going to be a fuller man,.. a richer man.
I personally didn't think he'd be anymore handicapped than Holyfield (when he was at his prime) or Andre Ward.
The Calm that Pac showed before and after the fight shows he has found a peace that surpasses all understanding and that he's found a treasure more valuable than all the millions he's accrued from his fight days. The way he lauched his entire body at Bradley did not suggest Pac had any reservations with ripping Bradleys head off,... and Pac paced him self so he could repeat the process again and again
.... Just a shame he wasn't rewarded for his work.
Thanks again for your though provoking comments.
But tonight I will look again this fight in good quality (and in good physical condition Laughing).
I'd be really surprised that my opinion is changing ...
The story goes... Out one evening for a lovely Chinese meal. Comes the bill so do my fortune cookies. Unwrap....smash that sucka' open... And my fortune reads as followed: You disgust God! Lmao. Great meal, great laughs. I'm not a believer in this man they call god. Too arrogant and too self centered for my liking but I am in the belief that he who invented God was a very wise man. Like Brown Suga', I too think the good likely out weighs the bad. Maybe. History does show a lot harm done by it but point is... When used right... Its a good thing for a lot folks. God and religion is what you make it. Matthew mentions perfection but I doubt his God is even perfect. There's a football God by name of Vince Lombardi. He isn't my god or anyone who I look up to but he has good quote on perfection. Will chase it but we won't catch it but what will do in the process of that pursuit is obtain excellence. Not an exact quote, forgive me....but close. I cosign.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Jan. 23 reports say Colin Jost is set to take over the "Saturday Night Live" Weekend Update spot previously hosted by Seth Meyers. Meyers, a veteran of the SNL troupe, has moved on to "Late Night" to replace Jimmy Fallon who has moved on to replace Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show," bringing the legendary program back to New York City where the show started with Johnny Carson as host.
That said, according to Wrap via Yahoo! on Thursday, Colin Jost seems to be the right guy for his very important news parody gig. After all, the stand-up comic has been on staff at "SNL" for years as a writer for the long-running, late night series that airs on NBC so he knows the territory.
By way of background, Colin Jost is a native New Yorker who is sure to have the right edge for his new job at the desk that was formerly helmed by Seth Meyers as well as other "SNL" greats like Jane Curtin, Chevy Chase, Norm Macdonald, Kevin Nealon, and Brad Hall.
And so, as Colin Jost replaces Seth Meyers who replaces Jimmy Fallon who replaces Jay Leno, the late night wars are on and full of absolutely amazing talent. Not only that, but each of these comic genius types happen to support each other. It's a beautiful thing!

Hit 'em with a prayer not a chair
Deborah Smith, staff writer for Monitor on Psychology (a publication for the American Psychological Association), in her post Angry thoughts, at-risk hearts, writes "Research findings indicate a clear pattern — being an angry or hostile person is bad for your heart." She goes on to cite several studies that prove the point.
It's my experience as a Christian healer that hateful thoughts can be harmful not only to the heart but to every part of the body. Therefore, if hate is a poison, what is the antidote?…

My images of Israel have been with me for many years. They have captured my experience there. The photographs are much more a look into my life in a chaotic and beautiful land, than a look into the lives of the people who live there. I created this book to look deeper into my time in Israel. To bring the photos out from the depths of negative sleeves and computer files.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is a 70 percent probability that one or more damaging earthquakes of magnitude 6.7 or larger will strike the San FranciscoBay area during the next 30 years. (A magnitude 6.7 earthquake is equivalent to the 1994 Northridge, Calif., earthquake that killed 57 people and caused $20 billion worth of damage.)
Homeowner, condo and rental insurance policies do not cover damage caused by an earthquake, but coverage can be purchased as an endorsement or a separate policy.
How Much Earthquake Insurance Coverage Should I Buy?
If you decide to purchase earthquake insurance, remember you should buy enough to cover the costs of rebuilding your house and replacing broken possessions. The amount of insurance you buy should be based on replacement and reconstruction costs, not the market value of your property and possessions.
You should also find out your rights for filing claims before you sign any earthquake insurance policy. It's important to know how much time you have to file a claim following a quake. In some cases, damage from earthquakes is not immediately apparent.
What Else Should I Consider When Buying Earthquake insurance?
One factor to keep in mind is the deductible on an earthquake insurance policy. A typical deductible is 10%. Coverage of the structure and coverage of the contents is separate. Thus a $200,000 home with $100,000 contents would only exceed the deductibles if structural damage exceeds $20,000 and contents damage exceeds $10,000. For a well-built wood-frame house, this deductible generally exceeds the structural loss for most moderate earthquakes. Due to good design, in recent earthquakes the damage to structures is a smaller part of the total loss than the damage to contents. It should be clear that earthquakes can have different sizes and occur at different distances from your home. In general, as either the magnitude goes up or the distance decreases, the severity of shaking increases. Those residences that are relatively close to an active fault are more likely to suffer damage, although there can be exceptions due to numerous causes. Thus, even though the probability of a magnitude 6 earthquake someplace in the Reno-CarsonCity region is as high as 8% per year, the probability of it being close enough to damage your house is smaller.
You may want to consider the quality of construction of your residence. Single-story wood frame houses generally perform well in earthquakes so long as they are properly attached to their foundation. Some of the factors that increase the risk of loss are: presence of a cripple wall between the foundation and the floor of the first level; multiple stories, especially with living space above the garage; or construction from less resilient materials, such as unreinforced masonry.
Another factor is your personal attitude about risk and your personal financial situation. Some people are more willing to take risks than other people. Some people are more able to afford earthquake insurance than other people. Some people have sufficient financial resources that loss from a severe earthquake is tolerable for them.
Finally, remember that not all insurance companies are the same. It may be worthwhile to shop around for the best rates or lowest deductible before purchasing your earthquake insurance.

Last year, Fort Myers artist Marcus Jansen's gallery representatives featured his surreal dystopian landscapes and Anonymous portraits in a number of domestic and international art fairs, including Art Southampton and Art Basel Miami. This year promises to be no different. On February 28, Jansen's new London agent, Steve Lazarides, will take a number of Jansen's paintings to Art14 London.
Art14 London is the second edition of London's global art fair sponsored by Citi Private Bank. The inaugural edition of the fair in 2013 attracted 25,000 visitors, including 4,500 VIPs. Critics, galleries, collectors and art fans raved, with Wallpaper praising the fair's "impressive scope" and the Financial Times reporting on Art13 London's "refreshingly different" approach.
Olympia Grand Hall will once again host Art14 London, which runs from Friday, February 28 to Sunday, March 2, 2014, with the Private View and First Night taking place on Thursday, February 27. During the 4-day art extravaganza, 180 galleries from 40 countries will present modern and contemporary art from regions such as Asia, the Middle East and Africa, next to galleries from Europe and the U.S. In collaboration with the Mayor of London's Office, the fair will also bring together major global players from a variety of different industries to discuss how art is reshaping cities and establishing new cultural centers all over the world.
Art insiders know Steve Lazarides as the gallerist who "discovered" Banksy. While the two have gone their separate ways, Lazarides is still pounding the pavement in search of new talent. "We're not bound by any definitions – as long as we like the art then it gets an exhibition," says Lazarides. "What started out as a halfway house for the urban art movement has grown into an internationally recognized gallery. Admittedly this has surprised us as much as it has anyone else. Our aim is to make each show an interesting experience, and remind everyone that art is there to be enjoyed."
While Lazarides' gallery is still considered the international market leader in urban art, many of the artists on display at Lazarides Rathbone defy categorization. Contemporary figurative painting features heavily on the exhibition schedule, but works have also included interactive installations, sculptures, and even historical propaganda. In the grand tradition of artistic movements, the gallery maintains strong connections with wider culture, especially the spheres of music, fashion and film.
Given this backdrop, it's not surprising that Lazarides would be attracted to Jansen's work. Most recently, Jansen's work was included by Dawud Knuckles and The Art Album Art on Dekz, a Russell Simmons project that also features art by Chuck Close, Marlene Dumas, Shepard Fairey, and Kehinde Wiley, Germany's leading names like Jonathan Meese and Daniel Richter, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, as well as musicians like Jay-Z and Ludacris. In fact, Jansen's Spotlight on Education was selected for the cover and highlights the connection between Hip Hop culture and contemporary art.
Knuckles, Simmons and Lazarides are not the first to recognize Jansen's emerging genius. In July of 2011, Absolut invited 20 artists from around the world to help them introduce ABSOLUT BLANK, a global creativity campaign that included paintings, film, print and outdoor advertising, consumer experiential events and even a digital art piece that lives and evolves on mobile phones. To market its products, the Swedish distiller has collaborated over the years with such iconic artists as AndyWarhol, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Douglas Gordon, Louise Bourgeois and, more recently, Ellen von Unwerth and Spike Jonze. Thus, Jansen's inclusion in a new generation of Absolut artists is viewed as recognition on a global stage of his skill, originality and import in contemporary art circles.
Jansen's invitation to show at the "Art 14" Fair will be an introduction for his second London solo show in October, 2014 at Lazarides Gallery.
Public openings of Jansen's newest works continue at UNIT A Contemporary Art Space in Fort Myers Florida every first Friday of the month or during the week by appointments only. For more information about dates and times, please visit www.unitaspace.com/calendar or contact Terry Tincher at email@example.com.

text: From October 2012 to November 2013, the Catholic Church observes the Year of Faith, a special celebration meant to renew our relationship with Jesus Christ. One of the worldwide events of this year will be a gathering with the Pope in Rome to celebrate the pro-life dimensions for the faith. Priests for Life will be leading a pilgrimage to the event, which occurs on June 16. Jesus, in whom we place our faith, called himself "Life" many times. To say yes to Christ is to say yes to life. And to say yes to life is to say no to whatever destroys it. People of faith work to end abortion. As we celebrate the Year of Faith, let's renew our pro-life commitment and increase our pro-life activities. Visit priestsforlife.org for more details.

When it comes to evaluating a person's health, doctors use a wide variety of tests and measurements called biomarkers. These can range from simple readings such as blood pressure to sophisticated genetic analyses. In between are dozens of tests performed on blood, urine, and other samples that can diagnose disease, measure damage, and
collect information about the function of every organ in the body, from lungs and liver to bones and bowels. Biomarkers can provide a snapshot of a person's health, but their real power is seen when they track the course of change over time. By enabling individuals to follow the components of their health, biomarkers can chart the direction of wellness and provide benchmarks for personal health goals.

While Big Sean and Chris Brown's "My Last" is one our our top choices for Song of the Summer here at Popdust, not everyone is as thrilled with the track. A Molloy College softball player lost her scholarship because of two postings to her Facebook page, one of which included the lyrics from the Sean-Brown anthem "andd imm put this drink uppp like its my lastt," MTV RapFix reports. 19-year-old Caitlin Ortiz is suing the school for discrimination, claiming she lost her scholarship after her former coach and the school's athletic director Susan Cassidy-Lyke described the posting as filled with "thug like comments." We can think of more shocking and inappropriate lyrical choices for the school to be concerned with, although our guess is that the underage Ortiz wasn't toasting with a cup of apple juice. While the second post was allegedly a threat directed towards a housemate—and thus probably contains more grounds for punishment—it seems like Cassidy-Lyke took issue with Ortiz's grammatical miscues the most, specifically the "typo-filled" lyric post. Molloy is an educational institution after all.
Related: Big Sean is the antithesis of "thug like" in the latest installment of Def Jam's Uprising interview series. The Podust favorite is nothing short of precious in the clip below, discussing how big of an honor it was to perform at Hot 97′s Summer Jam earlier this month, his "aunties" back in Detroit and his grandma's frequent and failed attempts to send him an email explaining how proud she is of him. Go ahead and add "adorable family" to the list of reasons we continue to be pumped about the release of Big Sean's debut, Finally Famous.
You might want to help her out Sean, if only so she can tweet about your new music to all of her thousands of Twitter followers. (She never said anything about not knowing how to DM.)

The benefits of a Scottish Trust Deed is impressive, say those who are now debt free thanks to websites such as stepchange.org that offer proven debt solutions. In fact, this trust deed in Scotland debt arrangement scheme is now available to all consumers by contacting local government officials or simply surfing the Internet in the UK for websites offering financial counseling and solutions that creditors will agree to and follow. A financial counselor in Perth commented online about various financial agreements being offered to Scottish citizens who are ready to sort out their debt by allowing this positive step for "their financial future."
Payoff scheme history
The history of this payoff plan in Scotland is linked to more than 20 years of legally helping people get out of debt using this "proven method" to find a way and means to pay off creditors. The scheme also helps debtors retain home ownership even when owning significant sums of money. The financial help plans are now viewed as a practical and even convenient method in the wake of thousands of debtors throughout Scotland finding real financial relief from the money they owe creditors. The option of this scheme to get out of financial trouble is legal throughout the UK; while also being praised by the courts as being "the best alternative" for those facing true financial hardship.
Why consider debt help?
A trained financial counselor can explain the "why" of this scheme as the best way and means to protect oneself from legal action taken by creditors. In turn, the people who face financial woes due to redundancy or other reasons say this arrangement works wonders when facing legal action by creditors who want their money now. The result can be powerful, say debtors who found real peace of mind with a negotiated payment plan that avoids messy bankruptcy and other court actions to collect money owned.
Moreover, there are numerous benefits provided by the deeds that include:
- An arrangement to pay creditors that is fully backed and approved by the Scottish and UK government.
- An easy and convenient way to make affordable repayments over a set period of time.
- A way to stop a creditor from asking the court for a debtor's sequestration.
- Effective and efficient access to legal and debt counseling with the scheme's debt counseling services.
- Numerous advantages of being under the scheme's legal protection umbrella that reduces stress and worry.
In general, there are many advantages of entering into this plan that helps debtors to legally cooperate with their creditors in a business focused way that eases financial pressures.
Debt charity change
Thanks to this scheme to assist people in debt throughout Scotland, government officials say that over two million people have found real help in sorting out their debt. At the same time, the UK's leading debt charity organizations say the central purpose of new regulations to address "any abuses with the current system" is a step in the right direction. In brief, the Ministry of Justice says the recent change is aimed at protecting "financially vulnerable people" as they face the difficult situation of paying off their debt. The government is also assuring debtors that this scheme will allow local charities to work more effectively with those in debt.
The goal is to avoid any "aggressive enforcement" when creditors petition the court to collect debts.
Overall, the central purpose of trust deeds is to work proactively to assist debtors who wish to pay their creditors in a way that best works for them financially.

UN appeals for release of more than 100 abducted Syrian schoolchildren
On May 29, militants from the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) abducted more than 150 schoolchildren, including some ten girls, as they were on their way back from taking year-end school exams in the northern city of Aleppo in Syria.
The children were heading to the town of Ain al-Arab on buses when they were stopped and kidnapped by ISIL militants in the town of Manbij.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) called for the "immediate and safe return" of the detained children.
"These children have nothing to do with the war raging in Syria. They just wanted to finish their exams and go back to their families," said Maria Calivis, regional director for the Middle East and Northern Africa. "Those who commit such crimes must be held accountable," she added.
Most of the Kurdish regions of northern Syria have been the scene of clashes with the militants for the past months.
Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since March 2011. According to some sources, over 160,000 people have been killed and millions displaced due to the violence fueled by foreign-backed militants.

ZAKHO, IRAQI KURDISTAN—Said Murat knew something was wrong when the ISIS militants who had taken control of his Kurdistan village ordered people into male and female groups. But he really got scared when the pickup trucks that were supposed to take them to nearby Mount Sinjar were instead driven to an irrigation pool at the edge of the village.
"They had gathered us once and they told us to convert to Islam," he tells me two weeks later in a hospital in the northern Iraqi town of Zakho. "But when we refused, they said there was no problem and we wouldn't be harmed."
But the militants were lying. After Kurdish forces, running out of ammunition, withdrew from the Sinjar area in the beginning of August, fighters with the extremist Islamic State, commonly called ISIS, moved in to take control of the minority Yazidi villages. They came with a plan of extermination.
"On Aug. 15 they informed us that we would be transported to Mount Sinjar by cars," says the 22-year-old from the village of Kocho. "We said fine. They gathered us in the school building and ordered us to separate into two groups: women and men over the age of 12. The men were driven away in two trucks, group by group."
Said Murat was in a group of about 30 men. "They took us to the northwestern edge of the village where there were some irrigation pools that were used by the nearby farms," he recalls. "These pools had no water in them at the time. They ordered us to get into them and lie down, and then between 10 to 12 fighters opened fire at us."
