Juventus 3-0 Chelsea
- From the section Football
Chelsea were left on the brink of an ignominious exit from this season's Champions League after a comprehensive defeat at the Stadio Juventus in Turin.
Juventus deserved their victory. Fabio Quagliarella deflected Andrea Pirlo's shot beyond Petr Cech before half-time before Arturo Vidal struck on the hour.
With time running out, Sebastian Giovinco beat the Chelsea goalkeeper to the ball to prod in from 30 yards.
If Roberto Di Matteo arrived in Turin facing speculation over his own future after four Premier League games without a win, this defeat threw up far more questions than it did answers.
The permutations do not make pleasant viewing for Chelsea, who know that even victory in their final group game FC Nordsjaelland at Stamford Bridge may not be enough. If Juventus take a point against Shakhtar Donetsk, who have already qualified for the knockout stages, Chelsea are out.
The questions facing Di Matteo are likely to multiply in the days ahead. Some will centre on Fernando Torres, whose Chelsea career plumbed fresh depths as he was left on the sidelines until the 70th minute, even with his team-mates chasing the goals that might have breathed hope into their Champions League campaign.
The majority, however, will centre on Di Matteo's position and owner Roman Abramovich's infamous lack of patience - with Premier League leaders Manchester City due at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Chelsea managers have had their fate decided in an Italian cauldron before, of course.
to prolong his tenure. Tonight it was Di Matteo's opportunity to ease the growing scrutiny surrounding his position.
There were 11 internationals in Chelsea's starting line-up, but there was none of the solidity that became their hallmark during last season's European triumph. John Terry, Frank Lampard and the departed Didier Drogba were nowhere to be seen, instead the onus fell on the new generation in the most testing of environments.
Before kick-off, the home support unfurled a banner carrying the words 'after Italy we'll take Europe' and it didn't take long to see why there was such confidence in the stands.
More often than not, the danger stemmed from Andrea Pirlo, who tormented Chelsea's back line all night. The onslaught started in the third minute, when Stephan Lichtsteiner ghosted onto Mirko Vucinic's clever far-post cross, only to be denied by Cech with the help of the post.
Cech was on form and, with Gary Cahill and David Luiz at risk of being overwhelmed, he had to be. The Chelsea goalkeeper fielded a Pirlo free-kick as well as shots from Vucinic and Quagliarella, with the visitors' only respite a mazy run by Oscar that led to a fierce low shot from Eden Hazard, which Gianluigi Buffon deflected wide.
Soon after, Ramires dribbled through impressively, only for Oscar to see his goal-bound shot blocked but things were beginning to look ominous for Chelsea and seven minutes before half-time they fell behind. Pirlo ambled forward and unleashed a low shot, which appeared to pose little danger until it took a wicked deflection off Quagliarella to wrong-foot Cech and roll into the net.
Chelsea came within an inch or two of falling further behind a minute later, as Luiz deflected Kwadwo Asamoah's cross towards his own goal, only for Ashley Cole to clear the ball off the line. But from that moment, Di Matteo's side surged forward and might have had an equaliser, only for Juan Mata to miscontrol Hazard's right-wing cross.
Juventus started the second half with more purpose. Vucinic was denied a penalty after appearing to be held back by Cahill as he prepared to shoot.
The Italian champions were beginning to look like scoring every time they crossed the halfway line. Cech denied Pirlo and then Quagliarella in the space of a minute but a smaller margin of defeat would have flattered Chelsea and, on the hour mark, Juventus struck again.
Moments after Victor Moses replaced Cesar Azpilicueta, Vucinic found Asamoah wide on the left flank and the Ghanaian's clever cutback was fired goalwards by Vidal, only for another cruel deflection to beat Cech once again.
Torres was thrown on but Chelsea never looked like a genuine threat. Juventus broke forward once again and when Cech charged off his line and out of his penalty area in a bid to hack clear a through-ball from deep, substitute Giovinco was able to beat him to the ball, prodding it past him to add salt into an already raw wound.

The fact that Jesus of Nazareth frequently employed parables while he was teaching tells us a lot about what he was trying to accomplish during his earthly ministry.
Teachers don't use parables when they're just adding to their students' store of knowledge. Parables only come into play when someone is striving to change a person's whole frame of mind, when they're attempting to alter the way people process all the knowledge they receive. Parables are a means of retooling one's brain.
Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time |
1 Kings 3:5, 7-12 Psalm 119 Romans 8:28-30 Matthew 13:44-52 |
Remember the old story of the young man who pulls his sports car up to a grizzled New England farmer and asks for directions? The farmer climbs off his tractor, stares at the ground for a few seconds, then looks up and solemnly announces, "You can't get there from here."
That's exactly what parables do. They tell us, "You can't get to where I am unless you first change the way you look at the world around you."
As Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan assert in The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach about Jesus' Birth, "Jesus' parables subverted conventional ways of seeing life and God. They undermined … a taken-for-granted way of seeing 'the way things are.'" But even more insightfully, the two scripture scholars note, "Seeing differently is the foundation of subversion" (HarperOne, San Francisco, 2009). Perhaps more than anything else, Jesus' parables caused his crucifixion. Jewish and Roman authorities simply didn't like the way he looked at reality. Anyone who processes people and situations through a different mindset is always a threat to the status quo.
We know from Matthew's Gospel (4:17) that his Jesus, like Mark's Jesus, has one basic message: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Probably because of his Jewish hesitancy to speak of God directly, Matthew changed Mark's "kingdom of God" to "the kingdom of heaven." But the phrase still conveys Mark's original meaning: God present and working effectively in our everyday lives. The historical Jesus is convinced we don't have to say another rosary, participate in another Eucharist, or even read another scripture passage. We can't do anything to force God's hand. God is already here among us.
There's only one condition for experiencing God's life-changing presence: repentance.
Jesus believed most of us don't even notice God's kingdom among us. Our culture and peers (and sometimes our religion) condition us to look for something else. Only those who repent, who go through a 180-degree change in their value systems, will even begin to experience God's kingdom. More than anything else, Jesus wanted us to focus on people. How subversive can you get?
In today's Gospel pericope, Jesus presumes we'd sell all we have to buy a field with a buried treasure in it, or acquire a pearl for which we'd searched a lifetime. Why then wouldn't we also sell everything we have to possess the kingdom of heaven? It's far more valuable than any treasure or pearl.
Scholars are convinced Jesus speaks from his own experience; he only brought that kingdom to light in his life by giving up his old frame of mind. And he would eventually lose his life because he insisted on sharing his vision-changing insight with others.
This subversive Jesus insists his followers not only create a new frame of mind to experience God working in their lives, he insists they also recognize that God's kingdom doesn't automatically annihilate all other kingdoms. They're always in our field of vision, often playing important roles in our lives, blotting out what Jesus wants us to see.
Jesus was convinced that God's kingdom is one element in a "mixed catch." We can't wait to make our faith moves until everything and everyone around us is perfect. Jesus expects us to play the hand we're dealt, to act on the insights our new mentality provides, no matter the environment and circumstances that accompany those insights. Though we, along with Solomon in today's first reading, long to have "an understanding heart," most of us will spend the rest of our lives employing our understanding heart in a world intermingled with good and bad.
Yet in the midst of surfacing God's kingdom, it's essential to know, as Paul believed, that God is constantly present and working in our lives for our eventual good. "Brothers and sisters," he reminds the Christian community in Rome, "we know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."
His assurance reminds me of a line from the recent movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel": "Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, it's not yet the end."
Perhaps we can hasten that end by being just a little more subversive, and using a lot more parables.

Reflecting stereoscope, made by Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875). Wheatstone demonstrated his stereoscope to the Royal Society in 1838 in order to create an apparently three-dimensional image to demonstrate binocular vision. Although Wheatstone's invention was intended to be an experimental demonstration apparatus, stereoscopes became popular scientific toys. In the early 1840s, after the invention of photography, some of the foremost early photographers such as W H Fox Talbot and Roger Fenton began producing calotypes specifically for use in stereoscopes. The popularity of stereoscopes was such that 250,000 of the devices were sold in Paris and London over a three month period in 1851.

Top 10 Rock Albums of 2012
If you've listened to any music over the past year, you know 2012 produced some of the best albums from the past decade. The Rock and Roll Revival is in full swing and I know I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store for us. But first, here is a look back at some of the best, most badass albums of 2012!
The only reason 'Down IV – Part I' is at the bottom of the list is because it's an EP. However, this 6 track EP is probably the best material from Phil and the boys since 'NOLA'. Part I was great, now we just have to wait for Part 2 and beyond to get released in 2013.
Charm City Devils – SINS
If you're looking for a straight forward, ass kicking bluesy rocker in the vein of AC/DC or Aerosmith, the Charm City Devils album 'SINS' is just the cd for you. They've had a long road to hoe to get their second album out, but 'SINS' was well worth the wait.
Lacuna Coil – Dark Adrenaline
It's been a while since Lacuna Coil put out a really solid album (hey, they all can't be winners), but they returned to classic form with their album 'Dark Adrenaline'. It's dark, it's moody, it's heavy, and it's pretty f**king awesome.
Halestorm – The Strange Case Of…
2012 was a break out year for Halestorm, and that shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone. The road warriors from Philly's second full length album features the sexiest woman in rock and roll Lzzy Hale let her freak flag fly while showing off her softer side…she strikes the perfect balance between the rocker slut we all want and the loving woman we all need.
Soundgarden – King Animal
Is this the album we deserved after a long 16 year wait? No. But, it is still a damn good record. 'King Animal' blends all the flavors from the Soundgarden pallet, and puts them all on one record which makes the album a bit disjointed, jumpy and weird…but that's just part of the Soundgarden charm.
Lamb of God – Resolution
With all of Randy's legal problems and issues…it seems like everyone forgot that Lamb of God put out a damn good record this year. Is it their best? No, no it's not. Is it worth owning? You can bet your sweet ass it is. It's a classic, hard hitting metal album that we've come to expect from LOG with a few killer twists.
Digital Summer – Breaking Point
What can you say about these kids? They aren't on a record label. They don't have a manager. They all hold full time, 'real jobs'. The album was funded primarily on fan donations. And despite of all that, somehow they managed to put out one of the most solid albums of 2012. If you don't know who Digital Summer are or don't own a copy of 'Breaking Point' yet, well you need to get your ass in gear.
Texas Hippie Coalition – Peacemaker
Big Daddy Rich and the boys from THC put out the best straight forward metal album of the year, hands down. I know I'll probably catch a bunch of sh*t for saying it, but it's the truth. Every song on the album is solid. 'Peacemaker', 'Turn It Up' and 'Hands Up' are classics that you'll want to hear over and over and over again! If you think I'm kidding, grab the album and check it out for yourself.
Stone Sour – House of Gold & Bones Part I
The mad genius Corey Taylor hit another home run with the new Stone Sour album 'House of Gold & Bones Part I'. The record is ambitious and hard hitting. You'll drift from an acoustic jam straight into a hard hitting rocker that sounds like it belongs on a Slipknot album.
Deftones – Koi No Yokan
The kings of soft and fuzzy metal are back with their best album since 'White Pony'. All the songs on this one are top notch with 'Leathers', 'Rosemary' and 'Gauze' standing out. If you've EVER been a fan of the Deftones, you need this album in your collection.

There are several rear disc kits which could work, but if they stop crappy now, that isn't necessarily the fix for it. Drums actually have an advantage over discs in that they work at a lower line pressure, so if your pressure is low now, discs wont help. The advantage discs have over drums is mostly in heat dissipation. If they stop crappy cold, discs wont help... if someone claims they're car stops quicker with discs, even when cold, there is usually another explanation... once the tires can lock, you cant make them 'lock more'.
If your pedal is high and hard, you may have a pressure problem (not enough). If it is power assist, look at the booster, pushrods, and master cyl. If it is manual brakes, could be too large of a master cyl. Should be a 1" for those brakes, or even a 15/16, depending on your pedal ratio. You might even want a 1" with power brakes if you are running a 10" or smaller booster, or the pedal ratio is less than 3.5:1. If your pedal is low and mushy, look at pushrod length/adjustment, look for air in lines, shoe adjustment, or leaks. Corvette calipers have spring loaded pistons, so if the disc is not held straight during work, or if the disc has excessive runout, the pistons will 'cant' and let air in around the seals. Also, the '69 Camaro master cylinder is definitely a 1.125". The disc/drum master was designed for a caliper with a larger displacement than the 'vette's, so might cause a hard pedal. If it is an aftermarket master, it is probably missing the residual valve to the rear drums too, which might allow a mushy pedal. The replacement for the Corvette and the '69 Camaro are often listed as the same part, but the Corvette used a dual diaphragm booster with power brakes, and a 1" master with manual. I beleive the 4wl disc (JL8) Camaro may also have had a dual diaphragm booster, but not sure. Also not sure if it came with manual brakes with the JL8 option... I know the regular 69 disc/drum, single piston, were power only. The 67-68 disc/drum cars had a 1" manual master. Last edited by yesgo; 03-11-2005 at 06:31 PM. |
bad braking...
i dont want to try and hijack a thread here so ill try and make it sweet... i have the same problem as joey here, except i have front disc stock... and drummed rear.. ive replaced everything but the lines... (had them flushed).. i dont have any stopping power.. im really low on cash now as well or i would go with a whole new set up... now i have a seriously hopped up motor... cammed out and all that jazz ... now will that effect my pressure to the booster... by the way im runnin with a 71 gto.. 455ho raIV .. now if its a vaccum problem because of the cam... (kinda what i was thinkin.. but dont know) is there an aftermarket booster kit. or vaccum booster.. that would improve my breaking... thanks anyone that can help... and sorry about 1/2 jackin the thread.... wont happen again... just kinda hit home here....
my guess
My guess would be the proportioning valve. They are factory set for certain combinations. You change the combination the proportioning valve doesn't work properly. You can buy a manually adjusted proportioning valve. Jegs adjustable proportioning valve. As far as changing to 4 plunger caliper. Chances are you master cylinder cannot deliver enough volume of fluid to fill 10 plungers in one pump. Purchase a Corvette MC.
Yes the proportioning valve can effect the amount of pressure that gets thru to the rear brakes, if you have one installed. It could cause a hard pedal if it is defective. The wrong valve could cause under/over effective rear brakes during hard braking, but should not effect normal braking.
A 1971 GTO with power disc brakes should have a combination valve, so make sure you are getting fluid thru to all 4 wheels. It has a metering device which delays flow to the fronts, as well as a proportioning valve to reduce line pressure to the rears. If either is stuck closed, it could cause a hard pedal. On the Corvette master, most parts suppliers will give you the exact same part for a 67-76 Corvette master cylinder as a 1969 Camaro master cylinder. Either one stock had enough volume in the front circuit for the Corvette calipers or the Camaro calipers... or the GTo calipers...., but the current design is for a disc/disc Corvette, which sends more volume to the rear brakes and has no residual valve, so I would avoid it on a disc/drum system. I have no further comment for Joey as i dont know if he had a hard or soft pedal, and hopefully has found the problem by now anyway. For 71_gto, the vacuum assist would also be my guess since you said you are running a big cam and have a hard pedal. You should still make sure fluid is getting thru, but you can test your engine vacuum. You should have at least 14" to run that booster. More would be better. If you have less than 14" of vacuum, you can buy a reserve canister, or a pump. I believe summit or jegs has either or both. Test your vacuum and test the vacuum check valve to the booster. Also test the booster with a hand pump. |

Provider: Wellness Council of Northeast Ohio, (440) 354-8057
Seventy percent of all health care costs are related to lifestyle. The yearly double digit increase in healthcare has no easy solution, but a more productive, healthier employee as a result of implementing low cost health improvement programs is good for business, good for the community and good for the employee.
Wellness Benefits approved by NOACC
Chamber Weight loss and exercise
Challenge Quitline Nicotine Replacement Therapy Smoking Cessation Program
Walk Across America Pedometer Contest
Chamber Weight loss and exercise Challenge Three times a year the Wellness Council offers a ten-week exercise and eat right contest to NOACC Chamber members. Following the nationally recognized "Dump Your Plump" rules, local chamber contests use a name they choose, such as Beachwood Bulge Busters, Rocky River Round Off or the Brecksville Wellness Challenge. Obesity is endemic in today's society. Offering a safe, effective and proven means to increase exercise while losing weight is truly a community-minded activity. The contest is free to the Chambers and their member companies.
Quitline Nicotine Replacement Therapy Smoking Cessation Program
Smoking is the number one leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. Smokers on average cost employers $3000 more in direct medical and indirect lost productivity cost each year. NOACC Chambers can take advantage of a partnership with the Ohio Department of Health to promote the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line, 800-QUIT-NOW, and receive nicotine replacement therapy patches.
Through the efforts of the Wellness Council of Northeast Ohio, NOACC is the first Chamber Association in the Country to offer the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line. Click here for more information.
Or Dowload the NOACC Quit Line Offer Flyer
Walk Across America Pedometer Contest Pedometers contest are a proven low cost way to increase exercise. This community contest offered at the worksite can be used as a fist step towards increasing daily exercise of inactive employees. Eighty percent of Americans do not meet the recommended daily activity level of 10,000 steps a day. During the contest, most teams will log more than the 10,000 steps average or each member of their team.

This method compares the performance of granular or pelletized activated carbons used in odor control applications, such as sewage treatment plants, pump stations, etc. The method determines the relative breakthrough performance of activated carbon for removing hydrogen sulfide from a humidified gas stream. This test method is intended to evaluate the performance of virgin, newly impregnated or in-service, granular or pelletized activated carbon for the removal of hydrogen sulfide from an air stream, under laboratory test conditions. A humidified air stream containing 1 % (by volume) hydrogen sulfide is passed through a carbon bed until 50 ppm breakthrough of H2S is observed. The H2S adsorption capacity of the carbon per unit volume at 99.5 % removal efficiency (g H2S/cm3 carbon) is then calculated.

The L65 350 opinion
I have a 75 Camaro with the original L65 350. I've heard that the L65 is crap but I wanted your opinion. My ultimate goal is a daily driver with around 350hp. (I don't want some Toyoda that sounds like a weed-eater on steroids flying by me)
Sponsored Links | |||
Vortec heads, edelbrock performer vortec intake, mild cam in the 210 intake duration range, 87 octane, 350 hp all day.
Ebay Vortec heads rebuilt can be had for $300-400 a pair already modified for .550" lift. Buy an intake used for $100. Gasket set is $30. Used headers for $65. I believe the L65 is a 2bbl, right? Rebuilt Qjet for $150. Ignition recurve kit $15 Worst case scenario is that you can do it for $700. You could save a little and use more cam and less heads, like camel humps, but you'll probably end up spending more on carb, valvetrain, and premium gas than you would with the Vortecs. |
Thanks for the reply. I'm a total newbie at this. I've worked as an industrial mechanic but never on engines.
It actually has headers on it now (no pipes) but I don't know anything about them. The cam was changed a couple of years ago for what I was told was an RV pulling cam (unknown duration). It also has a Holly Dominator intake. The carb was missing when I bought it but I got a cheap Holly 3310 (750 vacuum secondary) just to get it running. If it's not too big for the engine I'll rebuild it. I've heard that you can run a bigger (or too big) carb if it has the vacuum secondaries. The Vortecs sound like the way to go. |
I'm with Curtis all the way on this one. I'm building almost the exact engine he described for my '89 Sportside Chevy except with a milder Marine roller cam. I have talked to others with similar combos and they made an honest 350 FWHP and were pulling 20 MPG plus in half ton PU's!
The 750 Holley will "work" but low speed driveability and mileage will suffer compared to the Q-Jet or even a 600 Holley due to it's considerably larger primaries. Holley applied the "Dominator" name in one form or another to several different intakes over the years, some really good ones and some not so good. It should have a 300-XX part number on it somewhere that is the best way to tell you what you have. With any luck it is the 300-36 which is a copy of the old Z/28 and LT-1 intake. This particular manifold has been called the "Street Dominator", "Contender" and "Street Dominator II" over the years. There was also a PN 300-19 single plane "Street Dominator" and I think the 300-38 Dual Plane got called Street Dominator at one time. No rhyme or reason to it that's why the part number is the way to go. At least Edelbrock and Weiand had some consistency to the product names. Although it won't work with Vortec heads it is still good trading material along with the Holley carb. |
Thanks for the info Hippie! The intake is a dual plane "Street Dominator" but I'm not home to check the #s. I guess it doesn't matter if it won't work on the Vortec heads. I recently got a powder coating system. I think I'll powder the intake and carb (-w- rebuild) and E-bay them. I've been wanting an excuse to try the chrome/clear anyway.

Kes Guan Eng: Kejap nampak, kejap tak
July 3, 2012 at 7:43 pm 36 comments
Drama queen betul lah si Kim Guan Eng ini.
Pada 28 Feb 2012, Guan Eng mengeluarkan kenyataan akhbar, 'Following violent threats by their members, Umno and Perkasa personally responsible if anything happens to me'.
Tak ada apa-apa pun yang menimpa Guan Eng dalam tempoh 4 bulan yang lepas ini kecuali khabar angin dia diserang ashtray, dan itupun bukan Umno atau Perkasa yang baling.
Baru-baru ini pada Julai 1, Guan Eng telah mengeluarkan kenyataan akhbar berjudul, 'Police should review their hands-off approach towards Perkasa to avoid public perception that they condone the violent tactics by Perkasa to intimidate PR leaders'.
Ia berkaitan dengan lawatan ketua menteri itu ke sebuah pasar pagi di Teluk Bahang pada Sabtu lepas (ruj. laporan Harakahdaily, 'Tiba-tiba ahli Perkasa serang saya – Guan Eng).
Dalam versi bahasa Inggeris kenyataan akhbarnya (screenshot di kaki halaman), Guan Eng berkata:
"The failure of the police to offer adequate protection was followed by the failure of the police to immediately arrest the Perkasa member involved. Just imagine how harsh police reaction would have been if this had involved the Prime Minister and not the Chinese PR Chief Minister."
Dalam versi bahasa Melayu, Guan Eng berkata:
"Kegagalan polis untuk memberi perlindungan yang sewajarnya telah diikuti pula dengan kegagalan polis untuk segera menahan ahli Perkasa yang terbabit. Sekiranya serangan itu telah berlaku ke atas Perdana Menteri dan bukan seorang Ketua Menteri PR, bayangkan sahaja bagaimana reaksi polis."
Dalam versi bahasa Cina, Guan Eng berkata:
Guan Eng menuduh polis gagal melindunginya atas alasan dia seorang pemimpin Cina. Dia berkata demikian dalam kenyataan akhbar versi bahasa Inggeris dan bahasa Cina.
Namun dalam versi bahasa Melayu, perkataan 'Cina' digugurkan.
Ramai sudah yang merungut bahawa Guan Eng cakap berputar belit. Di depan orang Melayu dia cakap lain, di depan masyarakat Tionghua dia cakap lain pula.
Sebelum ini dalam kontroversi Ahli Parlimen Sri Gading yang berkata di dewan:
"Kita masih ingat apabila al-Maunnah menderhaka kepada Yang di-Pertuan Agong, kita hukum gantung dia. Ingat cerita itu beberapa tahun yang lalu? Apakah Ambiga tidak boleh kita anggap penderhaka kepada Duli Yang Maha Mulia Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan hukum gantung pada dia?"
Menarik balik kenyataannya di atas, Mohamad Aziz menyuarakan rasa tidak puas hati dengan Guan Eng yang didakwanya telah memutar-belitkan gertakan terhadap Ambiga menjadi isu ras.
"In this case about Ambiga, DAP clearly turned it into a racial issue because they are racists. I never intended to be racist. I never mentioned Indian or Hindu but DAP did… for the purpose of political gain. They are experts at spinning things …" kata Mohamad Aziz.
Guan Eng telah berkata:
"Clearly these remarks are inflammatory, designed to stir disaffection, is extremist and racist. This is seditious, threatening the life of Ambiga. Why is this racist? Because his remarks were only targeted at Ambiga as she is a woman, a Hindu and an Indian."
Guan Eng mengungkit semula kes Perkasa:
"Slogan 1Malaysia Najib dimusnahkan oleh golongan ektremis dan rasis dalam Umno yang menjalankan kempen untuk meniup rasa benci dan takut terhadap Pengerusi Bersama Bersih Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, isu Singapura dan diri saya sendiri," katanya dalam blog rasminya hari ini." (sumber: 'FMT')
Laporan insiden Perkasa tersebut itu lagi sensasi di portal pro-pembangkang Malaysia Chronicle yang menggunakan tajuk 'When all else fails, will Umno turn to ASSASSINATION: Perkasa physically attacks Guan Eng'.
Reaksi di Facebook kepada kejadian Perkasa mengganggu Guan Eng di Teluk Bahang pula mencapai tahap histeria.
Laporan FMT 'CM fears for safety after Perkasa 'brush" telah membuat 2,668 orang pembacanya berasa 'marah'.
Cuba baca fitnah dashyat seorang Facebooker bernama Rk Sandhu (screenshot bawah) yang dididik di sekolah Cannosian Convent. Apa gerangan mereka-mereka yang diasuh di sekolah mubaligh?

Piss off Helen. You're incredibly annoying and totally pointless. Clueless …..
Dear Sshsn,
You're a visitor to my space and you are asking me to "piss off"? As the cyber 'home' owner, I actually have more right to say the same to you yet I've all along treated you as a guest.
I've never scolded you or used demeaning words on you. I doubt that the "Mr Alphabet Soup", by which I do sometimes call you, can be termed as rude.
Now please tell me what issues you have and we can discuss on facts. Otherwise your being here is just pure masochism as it's "totally pointless", "clueless" and furthermore your pressure is rising from the annoyance.
I'm afraid you'll soon burst a blood vessel and splatter all over in my blog.
Biasalah tu Helen, typical DAPSTER!!!
Look at the bright side, at least hantu2 ni baca jugak your blog. Dia orang sendiri yang "Pissed" naik angin tak tentu pasal. Memang DAPSTER semua sakit IN Denial Syndrome. Tak boleh terima kenyataan aka FACTS!!! Kalau tak spin tak sah!!! Nak pusing macam Kim Guan Eng jugak baru betul agaknya.
Susah betul rakyat Republic North Singapore, terlebih kiasu dari yang kiasu.
Sshsn thinks this is his grandfather's internet.
Kalau kau tak suka, kenapa kau asyik datang blog dia?
Heran jugak aku.
Let's pee on Sshsn. Guang Eng Kaki Kencing.
The only one clueless are the Dapsters.. play with dead people for political mileage like TBH and altantuya…now trying to make their opponents look like murderer and such…..
i enjoy reading helen articles….
Damn Racist…!!! if the Press Release done by Najib, they will go to end claiming PM is racist. what else these PR people waiting for. this is clearly racist…
Once Guan Eng slandered Muhyiddin by accusing him of abusing Guan Eng's son name in order to get at Guan Eng. The truth is that Muhyiddin never said anything that remotely accused his son. He only advised Guan Eng to make a police report.
It was Guan Eng who happily abusing his son in order to get at Muhyiddin. He pleaded Muhyiddin to spare his son. It was Guan Eng who happily using the issue to whack his political opponent.
The same goes to Guan Eng purposely putting racial slant on one UMNO MP who asked whether Ambiga should be tried for treason.
From my viewpoint, Ambiga if in other countries would have been tried for treason.
Guan Eng uttered racist remark as he is racist. Nobody is saying Ambiga should be tried because she is a Hindu and an Indian. The MP was saying Ambiga should be tried for treason because that was exactly she was doing.
Malays in Penang should know by now about his character. Because of the character, some stalls were demolished simply because the owners are Malays.
Strange enough, no stalls belonging to Chinese were demolished.
I am not propagating stalls being demolished for no reason. What I cant stand is that Guan Eng behaves as if nothing happens.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________His hit squad and the DAPsters have the same lidah bercabang. — Helen
these dapsters are genuine only in one thing: being sly and cunning foxes, twisting words and issues to put them as the winner although it is not so.
They are good in distraction and crying wolf tactics(at the expense of nation's long term harmony):
a) they will find every opportunity to paint other people as bad guys
b) at the same time fishing for sympathy votes.
clever very clever
just like football players dropping like pins and crying out in agony (for free kick/red card) although nothing happened at all
voters must vote with their heart and eyes this time, not ears and hearsay.
that is why I hope Chinese community will not gamble their interests by voting DAP. This is due to DAP relentless antics in slandering UMNO, Malays.
What DAP is doing is actually will bring Malay and Chinese into collision course
The problem with Dear Leader is he accuses all his enemies as racists but he himself is the racist of worst sort. Look at how he turns Ambiga into a race issue pitting a Muslim UMNO MP vs an Indian Hindu. This is a clear case of using race and religion to create problem and fish for votes.
Thanks to Helen, we know that he speaks with forked tongue with one statement to Malay press while playing with race again in the Chinese and English version.
I heard that in the case of Perkasa, some Pakatan members actually delibrately provoked Perkasa members to trap them and create another issue. The dumb Perkasa guys fell into the trap.
MCA minister walked into a hornet's nest with thousands of screaming DAPsters some of who were trying to attack him physically. He did not cry like a baby or issue a press statement saying as though his life was in danger.
Of course MC and some morons in MK / MI comments section will claim BN trying to kill of Dear Leader. If Najib wants to kill LGE, I am sure he wouldn't try to use some Perksa clowns in a broad daylight in a crowded pasar.
The Cheap Minister need to reflect on why there is so much hate on him by the Malays. It is not UMNO or Perkasa but the general feelings among the Penang Malay is of hate and disgust.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Sunday article in 'The Choice' portal titled 'Guan Eng's Sympathy Ploy Wears Thin'. One observation by the writer caught my attention, i,e, "The Chief Minister seems to have therefore alienated everyone who isn't Chinese". — Helen
In fact some of the Chinese here are also have since become disenchanted by the Dear Leader. He better brace himself, Gerakan going to hound him non stop until the GE. Expect more skeletons coming out of the closet.
The skeletons already came out. His own assemblyman for Tanjung Bungah exposed the destruction going on at his constituency and what did he get ? He got the F bomb by the Dear Leader's henchmen.
if nt mistaken SABI is also "good" in using this rotten fish for vote/sympathy tactic, hiding in embassy for fear of dontknowwhat, arsenic poisoning claim; tampered brake claim, thrown by tear gas "shell" in Bershit.
He doesn't know how unpopular his administration is because you see, he lives in a place called Wonderland a.k.a Komtar. surrounded by similar deluded, drug induced sociopaths. His collusion with property developers being one of the symptoms of someone lacking empathy with those affected by the environmental destruction of Penang.
Don't worry folks. The GE is coming. Come GE day, our votes will send The Dear Leader and his ilk back to where they came from. Be patience folks. The man is just trying to hog the limelight while he still can. He knows his time is almost up.
Yep, GE's coming, and the day of reckoning comes nearer and nearer. Just like the day of reckoning when we die and have to face our Maker.
I love reading Helen Ang articles. They sow hatred, they have only one theme. Don't think it works for thinking folks.
It does work for thinking folks, but you're not one of the thinking folks. Since you said that you love reading Helen's articles because they sow hatred, that tells a a lot about you and people like you. You mind is full of hatred, just like the typical holier than thou DAP goon.
Don't work for thinking folks ? I guess your definition of thinking folks refer to those who support Pakatan ?
Helen's articles certainly not very flattering to Dear Leader, Hannah the Holy or the rest of the Pakatan leadership. But she does not manufacture news or claim to be an unbiased observer. She says what she feels and you either take it or leave it.
However look at Mkini, MInsider, MC, etc. They claim to be impartial news portals but all they print are anti BN propaganda and most of it accusations without a shred of evidence. They dont even conform to the most basic of journalistic ethics. Yet the legion of Pakatanistas lap up these news as though these are Bibilical truths.
sow hatred.. I dun think so.. Helen Blog is neutral.. It provide balance view to both side. It so happen that the Pakatan debaters here got no class debating with the pro BN debaters.
Seriously, Helen, I know this is your blog, but can you diversify sikit, and talk about rising crime, poor prosecution records, corruption….Puleeeeeze….
As for meeting your Maker, no need to search far, come the GE, the people will send you back to where you came from. For the rest of this country, life goes on, but of course, if things don't go according to your liking, you can shout, scream conspiracy, evil plots and so on. That's okay. You are free to say those things, but say them when you're at your church.
The rest of this country, the great majority, we don't have to put up with your venom. So next time, when you spit venom at people who are not on the same page as you, confine them to the space of your church.
Diversify………..If that's what you want, maybe sister Helen can write something about Faekah's shenanigans. But of course when Helen does write something about Faekah, you can come in here and shout "yet another piece of hate filled article by Helen Ang".
No problem about talking about Faekah. Any wrongdoing we must expose, be it Pakatan or BN. Just like RPK nowadays – both sides pun kena hentam.
But you obviously don't agree with me that there are more pressing issues affecting this country than Kim Guan Eng ? You seriously think that LGE appearing 26 times in 52 pages of a magazine or that LGE got hit by an ashtray thrown by his wife is more newsworthy or important to the rakyat than the rising crime statistics, or the poor prosecution records on commercial crime or that AirAsia may not want to use KLIA2 ?
some of us, not necessarily against DAP, do consider highlighting LGE's riding roughshods and playing fast and loose with the state of Penang a pressing issue.
actually there are many blogs talking about those "pressing" issues you mentioned. funnily enough, most of them appear to be pro-government blogs. in fact the first to break the AirAsia story, if i'm not mistaken, was 'a brick in the wall', a pro-government blog.
if those are the issues that interest you, why don't you go to those blogs?
as you said, this is helen's blog. where do you get off telling her what she should be writing on? and who is holding a knife to your throat to come to a blogsite that discusses issues that are not newsworthy enough for you?
they happen to be newsworthy enough to others who visit regularly. otherwise they won't be coming back. i notice most of them use their own discretion to pick which ones to engage in. so far, with the exception of that schizoid mr alphabet, even the nasty belligerent ones haven't been ill-bred enough to come preaching as to what the blog-owner should be writing on.
so who are you to come and act all patronizing? tak berkenan, tak usah datang. tak payah tunjuk bagus, impresses no one, really.
Wahai manusia.
Kamu mahu bercakap tentang perkara penting? Baik, maka tolong jelaskan perkara-perkara yang merunsingkan aku ini.
Ketua kamu kononnya jujur. Tolong terangkan kepada aku kenapa pula dia tidak mengamalkan kebebasan media yang kononnya dia dukung selama ini?
Ketua kamu kononnya adil. Tetapi kenapa pembangunan di Pulau Pinang lebih memihak kepada golongan berpendapatan tinggi? Adakah rakyat yang berpendapatan rendah tiada hak untuk terus tinggal di penempatan turun temurun mereka, hanya kerana mereka kurang membawa kekayaan kepada kerajaan negeri?
Cukup sahaja kamu jawab dua soalan dulu. Pada aku, isu-isu ini sangat penting kerana aku sedang cuba membuka luas fikiran aku tentang siapa yang patut aku undi.
Mohon jawab dengan jujur.
pressing issues, i.e rising crime, commercial crime, of course they are pressing issues to you because they deflect people's attention from what LGE is doing in Penang.
Are you going to tell me and the other readers of this blog that LGE has not abuse his power and the administrative tools under his command, to do his bidding ?
To you pressing issues mean as long as those issues that paint a bad picture of, and can be linked to UMNO and BN, they are newsworthy. But when you read someone write about Pakatan's shenanigans, you cry conspiracy, calling Helen's articles hate materials.
But of course you're a smart person, clever at making a u-turn. When I pointed out that Helen should write something on Faekah, you wrote "no problem about talking about Faekah. Any wrongdoing we must expose". Now, had I not mentioned Faekah, you would have continued with your holier than thou attitude of your earlier comment of "I love reading Helen Ang's articles. They sow hatred. They have only one theme. Don't think they work for thinking folks".
So I am right. You anti-DAP people only have one theme. Unfortunately it is going to boomerang back at you because the rakyat is a lot more discerning than you think. Keep it up !
Well last time I check anti BN is the same too..
"Unfortunately it is going to boomerang back at you because the rakyat is a lot more discerning than you think. Keep it up !
This one you are right, am no longer voting for DAP this coming election. Hah!! -
William, where have you been. Been waiting for you. like this Mah [YouTube].
Yes, you are so right, as the rest of us are fools. Please show us a direction that GOD is only what you preach not humanity between us irrespective of our origin in Malaysia.
Williem aaarrrr,
Have u ever wonder why the likes of me and the others are here considering Helen position on 153, satu sekolah and NEP ?
Wake up laaaa……THINK !! If not just shut up and observe don't say anything then no one will know LU BODOH!…..
[…] day posts by Helen Ang and by Ai the Big Cat intersect and answer each other in fundamental ways than they are apparent […]

Serbia: The Special Court, which is located in the old Military Court building of the ex-Yugoslavian army in Belgrade, was founded in March 2003 after the murder of Serbian Prime Minister Djindjic as the main institution in the fight against crime and criminal organizations.
The AV systems for the Special Court, which comprise two small court rooms, one medium sized and one very large court room as well as an in-house jail unit, are designed and installed by leading Serbian AV system integrator Lola Audio A.D. of Belgrade.
The four court rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for security and monitoring of court proceedings, including two huge 100" dnp Alpha Screens, which are used to present evidence for the accused to the audience and journalists in the largest 300-seat court room.
The electronic presentation of evidence can be remotely controlled from the central control room – or directly controlled by the judges via touch screen panels in each court room.

Scientists at Leuven university have discovered that aluminium foil helmets offer wearers protection from aliens. In a test carried out in Belgium over 2 years, not a single participant in the study was abducted by aliens. In the control group however, one individual was abducted.
"The scientific reasoning behind the foil helmet is that it acts as a Faraday cage, a conducting material that shields its interior from electromagnetic radiation. This makes the wearer invisible to alien radar," says Professor Vanderschrick of Leuven department of engineering. The participants in the study were required to wear the helmet for at least 6 hours a day, including at night when sleeping next to an open window. After two years there were no reports of alien abduction.
"After a while I got quite reckless," said Bart Schoen, a participant in the study. "Some weekends I'd go and stand on a hill with the foil helmet on, and chant do-si-la for a few hours at the sky. Even then nothing happened."
The next experiment will involve a more sophisticated model designed to prevent aliens from reading and controlling the thoughts of humans. "I'm a Star Trek fan," said Professor Vanderschrick. "It would be fulfilling a childhood dream to be able to exercise free will while everyone else is assimilated. I look forward eagerly to the day the aliens finally make it to earth."
Leuven University is currently looking at the commercial possibilities of a prototype. The Belgian tax authorities are currently helping police to trace the man who was abducted.

If you mean KH Leuven, I'm fairly certain that the one abductee was our student guide last year, and there aren't too many hills to stand on around there either.
