Parents story to birth to Ernie Sr. grade school:
Ernesto and Valentina Reyes were some of the
first Filipino's to migrate to the USA,
from the Philippine Islands in 1929. They worked
in fish canaries of Monterey and the agricultural
fields of Salinas California, known as the, Lettuce
Bowl of the World.
Ernesto and Valentina were determined to survive
in America and worked slave hours that paid 30
cents and hour. Working two jobs at a time, 16
hour days was the regular routine to feed a family
of 12 children. A pair of twins and an older brother
passed away at a young age, that left 7 sisters
and 1 brother, plus the youngest of the family
Ernie Reyes Sr, born Feb. 12, l947. Ernie Sr.
was the brat of the family always causing trouble
then constantly running away behind his mom from
his sisters and especially from his older brother.
At the age of 10-12 years old Ernie Sr. was
already taught to get up at 5:30 a.m. in the morning
to help his parents run their Labor Camp of 150
Mexican Bracerros from Mexico, who worked in the
labor fields. Ernie Sr.'s parents also made Ernie
Sr. help wash dishes, all (150 plates), or sent
out to do the back breaking manual labor, along
side the Mexican laborers out in the fields.
It was this old school discipline, taught by
his parents that would develop the foundation
of a strong work ethic, that would help him pursue
future success in his life. But in the mean time
Ernie Sr hated every moment of this life lesson
Mr. and Mrs. Reyes found a way financially to
make sure all of their children were sent to private
catholic school including the last of the Mohicans
Ernie Sr. Mama Reyes felt if she didn't full fill
this obligation her family would go to hell for
etertinity. She was on a quest! But for Ernie
Sr. grammar school was living hell.
Ernie Sr. had a major problem of adjusting to
early years of schooling, he ended up flunking
kindergarten, and first grade because he was a
constant (DNS) ,did not show. He didn't
want his mother to leave the classroom. He remembers
sweating profusely in the reading circles because
when his turn came to read, he didn't know how
to, and would try to elbow the kid next to him
to help him out.
Ernie Sr. was in constant trouble up to the
sixth grade, he would consistently get konked
on the head, by his teachers, (called nuns), who
carried this little wood clicker. This resulted
for talking or not paying attention in class.
He would always be going to the principals office
for fighting with the other kids.
Mama Reyes tried her best to keep her son in
check, making him become an alter boy and learning
the entire mass in Latin, not knowing what the
words meant. She even turned one of the bedrooms
of the house into a mini-church statues, candles
and all, and would make him pray with her for
Many times with his eyes closed Ernie Sr. would
just fall asleep instead of praying. Then mama
Reyes would have to finally break out the arnis
stick as the last resort to get her message across.
That would help for a moment but not for long,
because Ernie Sr.'s uncontrollable energy would
be all over the place once again. His mom would
just look at him, then walk away, making the sign
of the cross to herself. Papa Reyes would just
laugh and say, "that's my boy".
One thing that Ernie Sr. did love about school
was recess where they played kick ball or dodge
ball and he excelled at that early on. Then came
all the sports football, basketball, baseball,
and track he couldn't wait to go to school just
for that. Now all that wild energy had some means
of focus. Maybe he didn't listen to the
teachers in class, but he listened very acutely
and attentively to his atheletic coaches.
During junior high school he went to a private
parochial school for boys only. Every day there
would be a paddle session during the last period.
If at anytime of the day you talked, ran down
the corridors, threw down trash on the ground,
chewed gum, or fell asleep in class, you paid
the price, breaking these rules.
Ernie Sr. seemed to always be on the hit list
especially for falling asleep in class since he
would stay up until 12:00 midnight shooting baskets
under a moon lit court. Then wake up early in
the morning to play some kind of sport before
classes. Right after lunch he would be falling
asleep in classes.
So the teachers known as brothers, would bring
out this paddle with holes in it and for each
rule broken you were awarded a hit to the butt.
They called it the board of education. And the
macho thing to do at the time was when you got
hit to not flinch, yell, or scream, even though
internally you wanted to give the wildest yell
of your life because of the excruciating pain.
This would be a way to get back at the teachers,
this really pissed them off.
In high school Ernie Sr. made all stars in football
and basketball, but was still out of control by
getting expelled from catholic high school. Ernie
Sr. transferred to public school Salinas High,
that was cultural shock because of the lack of
discipline he experienced there. Even though he
had his challenges at private school, these students
were at another level.
This was a major turning point in Ernie Sr's
life for some reason during the 11th grade in
high school. Ernie Sr. did a 360 degree turn around,
a transformation for the better and good side,
started to evolve. Commitment to do the right
things all of a sudden started to become his way
of life.
It was during this time that he decided with
a group of his friends to start studying and no
longer be thought of as the jocks of the schools
with no brains. They started to get on the honor
roll but still didn't have the confidence
to think they could graduate from Hartnell Jr.
Martial Art Classes:
In 1967 Ernie Sr's.primary goal in Jr.
college was to get a
scholarship in basketball, so he took martial
art lessons only once a week at a health club
were he worked out weight training. But he vowed
that one day martial arts would be a big part
of his life.
Ernie Sr. was an underdog in making the Jr. College
basketball team since many of the all stars from
all of the local high schools had the bigger reputations.
Eventually with his hard work ethic he beat them
all out and became a starter and all conference
selection, that no one would ever had expected.
His dream was cut short of getting a scholarship
when he severely sprained his ankle and was finished
for the rest of the season. But maybe that was
a blessing in disguise for him to realize his
real calling in life, martial arts.
His first instructor was Moises Arizmendi an
old school Tang Soo Do Korean stylist, in Salinas
California. He drilled the traditional basics
up and down the floor for 3 hour workouts. He
then learned how to sweep and mop the training
floor every night after workouts. This was part
of the studio respect and tradition.
Days / Master Choi, Tony Thompson:
Ernie Sr. amazed himself by finally graduating
from Jr. College. Now it was time to move away
from home and transferred to San Jose State University,
where he met his Korean Grand Master Instructor
Dan Choi by joining the Tae Kwon Do Club at the
college. At the same time he met his training
partner and friend for life Tony Thompson. They
have been together for 34 years sharing their
extraordinary martial art journey filled with
a lot of sweat, blood, tears, and happiness.
According to Ernie Sr. he has yet to meet an
instructor like Grand Master Dan Choi who really
instilled the values of honor, loyalty, family,
and bravery, based upon respect and discipline
through traditional martial arts training. He
not only taught it he lived it. Master Choi transformed
Ernie Sr.'s life to become more compassionate
for others and taught him to give value to other
peoples life.
Many times Ernie Sr. would sit in Grand Master
Dan Choi's office for hours not saying one
word because there was a language barrier and
extreme respect to even try to start a conversation
with his instructor. But those were the spiritual
training days and moments where Ernie Sr. developed
a lot of sensory perception to see, hear clearly
and to develop an acute sense for peoples feelings.
Now Ernie Sr. and Tony Thompson trained 6 days
a week at night doing double sessions, getting
up 5:30 a.m. in the morning for special training.
Ernie Sr. and Tony Thompson both graduated and
earned their degrees at San Jose State University.
Nobody would ever think that these two individuals
would ever make it, coming from the poor side
of town, literally from the other side of the
railroad tracks.
Ernie Sr. and Tony Thompson both lived on food
stamps, welfare, and student loans, to survive
during these college days.. At times Ernie Sr.
had to ride a 10- speed bike as only means of
transportation, to part time jobs across town.
And this was on top of having Ernie Jr. being
born. Ernie Sr. also had to full fill his military
obligation during this time by being in the national
guard for 6 years. This allowed Ernie Sr. time
to finish his college courses instead of Viet
Ernie Sr. taught for Master Choi ever night
for free for five years straight. When Master
Choi offered to pay him he felt guilty taking
the money from his instructor.
Team / Competition:
Being very competitive in organized sports all
his life, Ernie Sr. got into martial arts for
the competition aspects and wanting to win those
6' Trophies. He started competing as a white
belt but really started to win when he was a green
belt. After winning that first trophy in point
fighting there was no stopping the competitive
juices from flowing.
Even though competition was Ernie Sr.'s first
motivation, teaching became his real love for
the martial arts. If at all possible he would
love to just teach for free, which he still does,
just for the passion of spreading the arts.
Ernie Sr. fought competitively in point fighting
, then Tae Kwon Do full contact, where he became
lightweight USA national champion. He won the
bronze medal at the 3rd World Tae Kwon Do Championships.
Ernie Sr. eventually revolutionized creative musical
forms in America and the world with his 7 national
champions he developed in one year. Ernie Jr.
became the youngest child in the history of martial
arts to be rated in the adults professional division.
Ernie Sr.. then developed and spearhead his dynamic
West Coast Demo Team.
They would all pile into the 1977 yellow dodge
van that he still has and go to every rinky dink
tournament to national tournaments in California,
every weekend. Eventually they flew to national
tournaments across the USA, doing car washes to
raise funds to travel. Many times their would
be 6 to 8 team members jammed into one hotel room.
At one tournament when the team was all asleep
a burglar snuck into their hotel room, team members
fast asleep all over the floor. Suddenly Cynthia
Rothrock screams the thief screams and grabs their
boom box and starts running, Ernie Sr. jumps up
and starts running after him with only his underwear
but lost him. That night all of the national champions
John Chung, Helen Chung, Nasty Anderson, Alvin
Prouder, Flash Newman, and many more went hunting
for the boom box to help out the team.
It was never found until the next morning when
Dayton Pang happened to walk by a car and saw
the boom box. He told the thief that it was ours
and he said no way, until Dayton found the demo
team tape in it, titled, "Staying Alive."
He finally surrendered the boom box. What would
the West Coast Demo Team do without generations
of music.
One day Grand Master Choi gave his school 1,400
sq. foot location to Ernie Sr. The rent was $315
a month. Ernie Sr. only had 75 students some he
just let train for free, because they didn't have
money, but they were awesome. Master Choi gave
permission and his blessing to Ernie Sr. and Tony
Thompson to form their own West Coast Association,
because he knew they had a modern day approach
to their teaching martial arts compared to his
old school ways. Up to this day Grand Master Dan
Choi is still their teacher and father like image.
In the 1970's and 80's Ernie Sr. had already
started to teach mixed martial arts to his students
and team incorporating Filipino Arts of Arnis
from Remy Presas and Escrima from Mike Inay. They
worked out in Wu Shu with Anthony Chan and John
Chuck. Ernie Sr. and his training partners went
to the local boxing club to learn boxing techniques.
And Benny Uriquidez did seminars for them, teaching
them how to incorporate kick boxing techniques
to their system.
One day during a demo in Las Vegas a manager
producer from Hollywood approached Ernie Sr. and
said she was interested in managing Ernie Sr.
and his son. But Ernie Sr. didn't want to leave
his students to live in Hollywood, George Chung,
Cynthia Rothrock, Scott Coker, Margie Betke, Belinda
Davis, Dayton Pang, Darren Pang, Gary Nakahama,
Soo Gin Lee additions to the team Chucky Currie,
Donna Bernardi, Diane Murray, Tom Callos and all
the rest of his loyal students. Teaching was now
integrated as Ernie Sr.'s true love for martial
arts. So ,he said no to the Hollywood manager.
But knew it was their destiny.
Six months later he decided that he would call
the producer in Hollywood. But the team Coordinator
Donna Bernardi lost the card. Then one day Donna
happened to be cleaning out an old purse and,
"wa-la", the producers card appeared.
Ernie Sr. phoned the producer Sally Baker and
she said, I don't know your son was young and
that's what they were looking for. Ernie Sr.pushed
for an audition they did a demo in her small office,
Ernie Jr. did a acting monologue she was amazed
and destiny took it's course of action.
But times were hard living in Hollywood at first
wasn't easy. Ernie Sr. and Jr. lived in the garage
of their aunts house in one of the roughest areas
of Los Angeles police helicopter flying over head
every night. Ernie Jr. slept on the floor on a
fold out futon. Trying to make rent back in San
Jose for the school, $315 wasn't easy.
During special events when the producers would
send the Reyes' a limo, they were so embarrassed
when the limo's would come and pick them up, because
of living in the garage. They would pretend they
lived in the front house, by walking out the front
What kept them sane and happy really was working
out daily in the martial arts, weight training,
and having a phenomenal family relationship. Ernie
Sr. Ernie Jr., Lee Reyes, with the help of Margie
Betke all piled into that one bed room garage.
They were not just a family they were best of
friends, enjoying the process and learning many
powerful life skills overcoming barriers, rejection
and limiting beliefs on the way to success. Ernie
Sr. and Jr. did fight scenes in the smallest producers
offices always mesmerizing the big wigs, with
help from Ernie Sr.'s first Black Belts, Kelly
Walker. Ernie Sr. was amazed that at 8 years old
Ernie Jr. was already suggesting and coming up
with phenominal martial arts choreography.
Ernie Sr. and Jr. did a demo for Motown's Berry
Gordy and his executives and wrote Ernie Jr. into
the, "Last Dragon", which they were
wrapping up. Then came Red Sonja, Side Kicks the
television series, Ninja Turtles I & II, Surf
Ninjas, The Process, and Secret of the Horse.
Ernie Sr. remembers when Ernie Jr. got his first
big break in Hollywood, in their little garage
room they both got down on their knees and thanked
their creator with a prayer on being fortunate
to have martial arts as their way of life.
of Schools:
Ernie Reyes' West Coast World Martial Arts Association
has grown to 35 schools that started with Master
Reyes school and Master Tony Thompson the other
founder of the association. The schools these
days focus in on not only developing Black in
Martial Arts but Black Belts in Life. There is
greater emphasis on balancing traditional martial
arts, combative martial arts, and performing arts.
Life skills like the Black Belt Success System
are articulated more clearly.
Ernie Reyes' Demo Team for the New Millennium
is now called Ernie Reyes' World Action Team.
They have now traveled all over the world doing
martial art performances and still receiving standing
ovations after 24 years of demo's. Now with the
new Reyes kids' being born at least 20 more years
of demos into the future. Ernie Sr. is now being
amazed by his 6 years old daughter Destiny, because
she doesn't suggest choreography like Ernie
Jr., did. She just straight out tells her dad,
Ernie Sr., what's more dynamic for her and the
and Heroes?
Spiritually my mom and dad Valentina and Ernesto
Reyes, ingrained that indomitable spirit to never
quit. Martial Arts Grand Master Dan Choi and Moises
Arizmendi taught him the meaning of respect and

I believe martial arts is one of the greatest
treasures of life. When taught will dignity and
reverence, their aren't many organization, systems,
or other forces that have the power to bring all
kinds of races, colors, creeds, religions, together
into an environment that creates peace and harmony.
Just take a moment and think about it, I've witnessed
it here in San Jose California at each Black Belt
test. We have multi cultural nationalities with
all levels of income brackets, education, and
professions all getting along because of the commonality
of the way of martial arts.
Goals / Message:
Many people go through life searching for happiness.
I am absolutely certain that martial arts is a
key to that success. All we have to do is turn
the key and unlock the door. In other words, unlock
your mind, unlock your heart and discover martial
arts vast treasures of unlimited potential to
create positive change.
Martial Arts is my way of life! Martial Arts is
a way of life for my entire family we live, breathe,
eat and sleep martial arts. I will continue to
impact and empower as many peoples lives as I
can during my lifetime. Hopefully to enlighten
the mainstream, general public and society to
have martial arts as their way of life. As martial
artist, I know we can make a difference during
these challenging times in our society and world.
Ernie Reyes' World Action Team has been fortunate
to have traveled to different parts of the world.
And the greatest satisfaction comes when we have
brought joy, happiness, and a smile to different
faces of people around the world. We know we have
touched their hearts because of the power to blend
traditional and modern day martial arts. This
brings out the true power of martial arts creating,
"Peace and Harmony", for all mankind.
The power of martial arts is only as good as it's
Isn't it amazing to know that we can learn the
philosophy of true martial artist from an insect
and a creature:
First the insect, like Spider Man's mentor said,
: "With Power Comes Responsibility."
So we must all first and foremost get in shape
and stay in shape ourselves, it is our responsibility
as martial artist, to carry its power.
If great role models like Jack Lalane or Jhoon
Rhee, can do it why not you. Way into the golden
years of being a healthy and happy 70, 80, &
100 year older.
Self first before we can teach others. You are
the living message.
And like, Yoda, the
creature said, "May the Force Be With You

Mortgages and other types of home loans impose specific duties on borrowers, who are obligated not only to make payments, but also to comply with other requirements. Failure to do so constitutes a "default" on the loan, which can lead to foreclosure, among other adverse consequences.
The requirements of a loan are spelled out in the deed of trust or other loan documents and can vary from one loan to the next, depending on the type of loan, state laws and lender policies, among other factors.
Here are some situations that might trigger a default:
Late payment. Most lenders allow a 15-day "grace period," during which the borrower can make a payment after the due date without discernible consequences. The grace period doesn't alter the due date, however, so a late payment during that period technically could be considered a default on the loan.
Typically, a late-payment penalty would be assessed at the end of the grace period, and a late payment would be reported to the credit bureaus after 30 calendar days or the last business day of the month. Some lenders start up their collection machinery of letters and telephone calls much sooner, however, especially if the borrower has a subprime mortgage or a history of late payments.
Change of ownership. Borrowers typically are required to notify the lender if the ownership of the property changes. The most obvious instance would be the sale of the property, but the owner's death, a divorce settlement, or a gift of the property to a parent, sibling or child are also among the situations that could trigger this requirement.
Unpaid property taxes. Payment of property taxes and other assessments, either directly or from a set-aside escrow account managed by the lender, is another typical requirement. Lenders insist on payment of taxes because if the property were sold, the government typically could collect the unpaid taxes from the proceeds of the sale before the lender received the loan payoff. Lenders don't like to get in line behind government agencies.
Unpaid insurance premiums. Borrowers typically are required to purchase homeowner's insurance to protect against loss in the event of a fire, theft or other specified risks to the property. If the property is located in a flood-prone area, flood insurance may be required as well.
If the borrower doesn't pay the premiums, again either directly or through an escrow account, the lender can "force place" insurance on the property at the borrower's expense. Force-placed insurance is typically much more expensive than insurance homeowners can purchase themselves.
Late payments, unpaid property taxes and lack of proper insurance can all constitute a default. The best protection against an inadvertent default is to read the loan documents and call the lender or loan servicing company if any unusual situations occur.
If you have missed mortgage payments due to a financial hardship and are worried about foreclosure, learn about some alternatives to foreclosure in the following article: http://www.lendingtree.com/smartborrower/Mortgages/Alternatives-to-foreclosure.aspx.

China abroad [1] | China at home [2]
People have gotten excited [3] over Fan Songqing, a deputy secretary with the CPPCC Guangzhou municipal committee because a few days ago he said he wants to be the first to go public with his (and his family's) total personal assets ahead of upcoming local transparency mechanisms to ensure they prove effective.
Provincial officials announced last year [4] one district in Guangzhou has been chosen for what's being touted as the country's first formal pilot assets declaration scheme, although it remains uncertain whether or not information disclosed will be accessible to the public.
It's that lack of accountability, Fan said in one interview, which prompted his decision, and led previous similar attempts at transparency in Xinjiang and other provinces to failure.
Incidentally, Party discipline officials revealed last week that consensus within the Communist Party ahead of the NPC/CPPCC sessions [5] in March slightly favours [6] trying to rein in corruption through officials' disclosure of assets over political reform of the corrupt system.
Fan also argues the scheme should be extended to include the heads of state-owned enterprises and civil servants from the county level on up through their tenure and for the five years following their retirement from public service.
And, of course, all those assets officials have stored safely overseas, says Fan, who has been the top local news story since the weekend.
Amid a flurry of coverage, Guangzhou media chasing the story have been allowed to interview (and quote) several of the city's most senior leaders.
"If the Party committee and government order it," said Guangzhou CPPCC Chair Su Zhijia Sunday [7], "then so it shall be done."
Ding Hongdu, Party secretary of Guangzhou's Nansha district, slated for the transparency project, has gone on record saying he enthusiastically supports Fan's proposal and is even willing to join him.
In an interview Saturday with Southern Metropoplis Daily, Guangzhou deputy mayor Wang Dong also revealed [3] that following the Nansha pilot scheme the next step will be public declaration of assets by national-level leaders, followed by officials at the provincial and then municipal leaders throughout the country.
Fan, for his part, has sort of begun to follow through, revealing in interviews he lives in a walk-up building with a flat just over 70 square metres in size, but leaving his supporters in suspense pending disclosure of any serious details.
Southern Metropolis Daily, which has given Fan's good intentions extensive coverage, was even able to get a quote [8] from Guangzhou mayor Chen Jianhua urging Fan to go for it:
"That's great, he should go public if he's willing, that is his freedom."
The Nansha experiment is set to be extended to the rest of Guangdong province next year.
Guangzhou's New Express newspaper today ran a summary [9] of a Guangzhou CPPCC committee meeting held yesterday, during which committee members lobbed tough questions Fan's way and it emerged he at one point owned a second property, one which Fan claims he paid off using proceeds from a book he'd just written, that the flat was sold off in 2003 and was much smaller than his current flat.
Late last night, our friends at Xinhua caught on and published a report [10] from Guangzhou which makes zero mention of the small movement Fan has started and in vague language 'clarifies' some facts for concerned Guangzhou cadres (emphasis mine):
Only a fraction of officials will be required to declare their assets; assets to be declared under the pilot scheme will include items such as property holdings, investment commitments and one's spouse's employment situation, but not one's salary; officials will only be declaring said assets, not making them public.
In April last year, Guangzhou authorities sent one man to prison for calling publicly on Hu Jintao to declare his own personal wealth, Radio Free Asia reported [11] last month.

-- Did anyone know that China's national orchestra is on a US tour? [14] The US media get all hot on free flights when US orchestras go to China, but take no notice at all when the China National Symphony Orchestra comes to the US. It's the biggest tour the CNSO has ever undertaken – 30 concerts in a month – but most venues are small towns, starting with Anniston, Alabama.
-- What kind of 'hawk' is Japan's Shinzo Abe? Probably not the way you think [15] Indeed, for all the fear about a potential Japanese remilitarization, Abe has not been a particularly extreme voice in Japan. Though it may not repair perceptions of his orientation among others in the region, Abe is not the biggest "hawk" in the Japanese political sphere.

Coffee Breath
The good news? Unlike onion and garlic odors, which enter your lungs and bloodstream, coffee breath can usually be curtailed by simply brushing your teeth and tongue, which are where odor-causing bacteria grow. A breath mint will mask the smell but only briefly. Can't do either of the above? Fill your mug with water and give your mouth a swish.
Stomach Growls
If you suspect you should eat, you're correct. "Your stomach is constantly churning, and it churns more when you're hungry, producing a rumbling sound," explains Joel Levine, M.D., former chair of the American College of Physicians Board of Regents. "But don't chew gum. Swallowing air only exacerbates the sound."
Water in Your Ear
Swimmer Natalie Coughlin, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, mixes equal parts rubbing alcohol (to dry) and white vinegar (to disinfect) in an eyedropper. Then she puts a few drops in the ear canal, waits 30 seconds, and drains it.

Juventus 2-0 Celtic (agg 5-0)
- From the section Football
Juventus ended Celtic's Champions League campaign at the last 16 stage by completing a comfortable aggregate win.
Early Celtic promise from Joe Ledley's rising shot was tempered when Alessandro Matri followed up on Fabio Quagliarella's shot to score.
Gary Hooper almost turned in an away goal from Georgios Samaras' centre.
And Efe Ambrose wasted a header for the visitors before Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal combined to set up Quagliarella for a simple finish.
Trailing by three goals from the first leg in Glasgow and without skipper Scott Brown, any faint hopes of a remarkable Celtic comeback ended on 24 minutes when Matri finished off from close-range.
Manager Neil Lennon will be frustrated that his side could not fashion a goal and by defensive lapses on a rain-lashed evening in Turin.
However, on reflection, Celtic can only assess their European campaign positively.
Seeded fourth in their group after two qualification wins against Scandinavian opposition, the runaway Scottish Premier League leaders finished second to Barcelona, whom they famously beat at Celtic Park, at the expense of Benfica and Spartak Moscow.
Without a win in nine previous trips to Italy, the visitors began brightly as both sets of supporters had the impressive relatively new stadium rocking with noise.
A Beram Kayal shot was blocked before Ledley's venomous strike from 22 yards narrowly missed the junction of Juve keeper's Gianluigi Buffon's post and crossbar.
Celtic's hopes were still flickering, but they were soon extinguished.
Hooper was dispossessed on the touchline just inside his own half by Andrea Barzagli, who accelerated forward to play in Quagliarella.
The striker's low, angled shot through the legs of Kelvin Wilson was saved by Fraser Forster but fell into the path of Matri, who applied the finishing touch.
Far from feeling sorry for themselves, Celtic responded well.
Commons' drive was diverted on its way to goal by Hooper, but Buffon managed to change direction and make a sprawling save.
Samaras then flashed an effort across goal which Hooper was inches away from converting before Kayal headed weakly at Buffon.
A 20-yard drive from Juve's Chilean international Vidal worked Forster before the half-time whistle, and Quagliarella forced another smart save from the Celtic keeper early in the second half.
Ambrose, disciplined for his late arrival at training on the morning of the match, replaced the injured Victor Wanyama at the interval and the Nigerian produced a near carbon copy of his first-leg downward header miss from Charlie Mulgrew's corner.
And then the impressive Juventus machine clicked into gear on 65 minutes to settle the match.
Pirlo's perfect chipped ball eluded Emilio Izaguirre and found Vidal, whose chest control and square ball across goal allowed Quagliarella to finish from close in.
In the closing stages, Samaras shot over from the edge of the penalty area and substitute James Forrest saw his effort from distance scooped up by Buffon as Celtic pushed fruitlessly for a goal to reward their considerable efforts over two legs.
Having revelled in the big match atmosphere of this campaign, Celtic will be back for another crack at the tournament next season and, although they will have to negotiate three qualifiers, Lennon's players will take great heart from this adventure.
But Celtic's form will not have gone unnoticed and richer clubs may be circling in the summer, with an eye on some of their star performers.

Salman Khan New Movie News 2013: 'Jai Ho' Movie Poster Revealed, When is the Film's Release Date?
As Salman Khan continues to shoot for his new movie "Jai Ho," new secrets about the film slowly being to leak. Not only did the producers reveal that there will be a new heroine in the movie, but they recently released the film's new movie poster with the leading actor's face on the front.
IBN Live reported that the film's first official poster hints at a story based on people's movement, which is why it says "People's Man" at the top of the picture. Khan plays a social crusader in the film which also features Tabu and Om Puri in leading roles.
"Grand Masti's" Bruna Abdullah has been added to the cast after a role was especially created for her opposite cast member Ashmit Patel.
"Ashmit and Yash Tonk play Salman's buddies," said a source. "Everyone felt there was room for a romantic angle for Ashmit's character and Bruna was brought in. She plays the girl Ashmit loves but he's unable to express himself. Nadira Babbar (who plays Salman's mother in the film), Tabu (who plays Salman's sister) and Salman tease Ashmit about his tongue-tied predicament."
The source also added that a song has been added which "comes on right the beginning of the film when there's a rave party going on. Salman Khan is introduced in the film after the opening song."
"Mohnish Behl plays the chief minister," added the source. "At the climax, Salman has to save the CM's life to save the state from catastrophe. It's a very patriotic film."
"Salman, Tabu and Nadira Babbar actually become like one family," revealed the source. "They would look after the entire unit. To be honest, everyone was intimidated by Nadiraji. She is stern and not prone to 'Mauj-masti' (having fun) while working. Salman is just the opposite, and there were adjustment problems in the beginning. But these were soon sorted out. Salman went that extra-mile to adjust to Nadiraji."
Khan had originally suggested "Mental" for the title of the film, however, his father said that he "felt the title needed to be more pertinent" and wanted something patriotic, snce the movie will be releasing on Republic Day.
"Jai Ho" is reportedly the remake of "Stalin," directed by A.R. Murugados, which is set to hit theaters on January 24, 2014.

During trial ... Bill D'Arcy and his wife Lois in October 2000.
Photo: Angela Wylie
CHILD sex offender, rapist and former state MP Bill D'Arcy is spending his first weekend at his luxury Brisbane bayside home on his release after seven years in jail.
His wife Lois, who has remained steadfastly loyal throughout his imprisonment, is believed to have picked him up from prison at about 5.30pm on Friday.
Mrs D'Arcy continued to declare her husband's innocence and discuss the problems that arise when people make sexual abuse accusations years after the alleged offences occurred.
But yesterday the family refused to comment on D'Arcy's return to the Raby Bay mansion on Brisbane's southside.
D'Arcy quit Parliament in January 2000. Later that year he was convicted on the first of 22 counts of child sex abuse of primary schoolchildren, committed when he was a sole teacher at small country schools in Queensland during the 1960s and 1970s.
He was successful in his second attempt to gain parole. His first attempt in July 2006 failed because he was considered too much of a risk.
D'Arcy always professed his innocence throughout his years in jail. His release comes despite his refusal to complete a required rehabilitation program for sex offenders.
He said he did not need to do the course because he was not guilty.
A spokesman for Corrective Services Minister Judy Spence said D'Arcy had been released on a number of conditions.
They include no unsupervised access to children under 16 years of age, no access to schools and child-care centres, and a provision that neither he nor his family profit from selling a story.
The Parole Board took a range of factors into account in granting D'Arcy parole, among them that the offences took place more than 35 years ago, and the suitability of his accommodation, with no children living in the family home.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh said D'Arcy had not received any favours during his incarceration and would continue to be treated like any other parolee.
"The Parole Board has made a decision in relation to Mr D'Arcy that he is suitable for release," she said.
"That release, as I understand it, is subject to a very large range of supervision conditions.
"I expect Mr D'Arcy to be treated like any other prisoner out on parole and to be closely supervised during his parole period."
But Hetty Johnston, founder of the child protection group Bravehearts, said D'Arcy should not be released from jail if he had not done a rehabilitation course.
"The most dangerous ones are those who won't admit their guilt," Ms Johnston said. "He should be in indefinite detention and I hope what is a fabulous Christmas present for him is not an absolute tragedy for an innocent child."
In March five ALP identities, including a sitting member of State Parliament, supported D'Arcy's bid for parole.
The Labor figures' submissions were among scores of letters of support disclosed in documents lodged in the Supreme Court as D'Arcy challenged a Parole Board ruling that he was still too much of a risk to be freed.Source: The Sun-Herald

Contemporary design and new technology took over new fireplace introductions at HPBExpo 2009—the industry's equivalent of fashion week, when manufacturers unveil the latest designs.
Modern designs from such mainstays as RAIS and Palazzetti shared floor space with new open-faced, woodburning technologies from Hearth & Home Technologies and Earthcore Industries. Manufacturers point to this dynamism as proof that there's still innovation and a focus on design in a slumping economy.
Held this year in Reno, Nev., HPBExpo saw its fair share of introductions in a rapidly growing sector: contemporary designs.
"There has been a trend in contemporary architecture overall," said Peter Dircks, vice president of product management and new product development for Lakeville, Minn.-based Hearth & Home Technologies, from the show floor last week. "Generation Y and Generation X have been bringing new perspectives in design."
Younger buyers may be driving the market, but Dircks says older buyers are also embracing a more relaxed design sensibility. "There definitely is a polarity in the dynamics," he continues. "Younger and modern and older and modern."
Catering to this crowd, Hearth & Home unveiled Solaris—perhaps the most exciting new introduction at the show. This see-through fireplace can be configured with a thin glass burner or with engineered glass so the flame appears to go on and on into the horizon even though the actual flame is only 6 inches thick.
Even manufacturers doing more contemporary products concede that this sector only represents a small part of the market and that most American consumers still want traditional or transitional designs. One working theory is that for a long time, consumers who wanted contemporary design had to look to imported products from Europe. But now American companies, sensing a greater demand for such designs, are offering products to cater to those consumers. "It's just the evolution of design," Dircks says.
Kurt Rumens, president of Travis Industries in Mukilteo, Wash., echoes the sentiment, adding that he's not yet sure what it means for the industry at large. "We show [our contemporary] products to builders and we get tremendous response, but most of what we sell is traditional," he says. "There are a lot of oohs and aahs, but not a lot of sell-through right now. What we notice is that people are saying, 'I want a great fireplace and a quality fireplace.' The high-end stuff is moving."
Another category that emerged at the show is open-faced woodburning fireplaces. Frowned upon by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and many jurisdictions across the country, woodburning fireplaces aren't as efficient as wood inserts and stoves; they also release more particulates. But manufacturers have begun developing products that meet or exceed EPA standards, and industry observers say more of these types of products will hit the market in the next five years.

Google Analytics and Google Plus will be integrated soon, reported by Marketing Land, following an official Google presentation that leaked to two Dutch websites: Dutch Cowboys and WebSonic.
According to the slides with the watermark "Google Confidential", Google Plus users will be able to add an analytic code to their profile page and follow the traffic sources, number of visitors, average time on page, etc. The social network statistic data will be measured separately unconnected from other websites attached to the profile owner.
Currently, Google Plus users cannot track the activity of their Google Plus business pages or profiles, except for following the number of shares and counting the "pluses" added to each status.
Recently Google Analytics have announced adding social media reports that will provide statistical data about a website social activity on and off-site. Google are most likely not to receive Facebook and Twitter cooperation.

Country Life magazine, which studied 25 schools, found that families no longer "sit back, relax and enjoy the day".
Parents' races had been banned at 17 institutions because the competitors were "over-zealous", it said.
Some parents were accused of "spoiling" events by putting too much pressure on children to succeed at events.
'Neurotic attitude'
Pleasant egg-and-spoon and sack races were a thing of the past, the magazine found.
Editor Clive Aslet said: "The only point of parents' races, in those days, was to embarrass the parents.
"Nowadays, some parents have a highly competitive attitude to life and are neurotic about their children succeeding at everything they attempt. It is spoiling the whole thing."
Families were not reported to be relaxed at any of the schools.
At one, the parents' race was stopped four years ago because it had become too competitive and there was a risk of injury.
Cheating had also gone on during some events.
Comments were sought from junior and senior schools in both the private and state sectors.

50 years ago, Beatles appeared on 'Sullivan'
It was 50 years ago today that the Beatles appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show."
Their first appearance in America was a pivotal cultural moment.
Nielsen says 45 percent of all TV sets in use at the time were tuned into the broadcast, or more than 70 million viewers. Some who watched were already fans, while others were just curious about the new phenomenon of "Beatlemania."
The Beatles performed live before an audience full of screaming teenage girls in the CBS studio in Manhattan that now houses the "Late Show With David Letterman."

Pit needs a home

Was headed out to dinner when this guy changed my plans. He was wandering around in front of my place. Called and he came right to me. Super sweet.
The thing is his breed is banned in my town and it is a death sentence. The dog catcher showed up right after we loaded him in our car. Took him to the animal hospital where my wife works. He is safe for now.
No micro chip, no tags, and intact. Otherwise healthy and happy. His owners have basically lost him. They would have to go to court. Another dog catcher from my town was at the animal hospital and said he was dead if they got him.
So if anyone is interested? I would be willing to split the neutering cost if you could give this guy a good home.
PM me.

My amaryllis decided to bloom in July. I noticed them growing & brought them out. One of them developed a nice fat seed pod. I left it on the plant waiting for it to turn brown & burst open.
Mother nature decided to give us some fantastic wind that blew the pot over & the seed stalk still green about a half inch seperated from the plant.
Can i save these seeds still? This was the first time they set seed & I was eagerly waiting for them to ripen so I could grow them.
amaryllis seed HELP please!
My amaryllis decided to bloom in July. I noticed them growing & brought them out. One of them developed a nice fat seed pod. I left it on the plant waiting for it to turn brown & burst open.
Depends on how far along the seed pod was. Sounds like you may be okay.
Thanks I'll wait for it to brown & break it open. I'll just plant them & see what happens.
Any idea about how long they take to sprout?
I�ve had some success with treating the separated seed stalk (scape) as you would cut flowers.
Trim the bottom broken end of scape at a 45� angle. Put it in a vase with room temperature water covering all of the cut end plus a wee bit more.
Put the vase in the brightest place possible like a sunny windowsill.
Change the water at least every other day � every day if it gets cloudy.
Re-trim the bottom of the scape as it deteriorates.
Good Luck!
Have you grown amaryllis from seed before?
If you break open the seedpod, be sure to check for the �kernel�. It should be about the size and shape of the little kernel between the 2 halves of a peanut. No kernel � no seedlings.
Personally I�d wait. Mature seeds do better than immature seeds.
Germination time depends on the variety. The shortest time in my garden was 9 days. 3 or 4 weeks is more typical. 2 months is a bit much but I�ve seen that too. It seems the fancier the parents, the longer the germination.

European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
Update since 6 July (11:00): The EU Member States have updated the case definition for reporting at the EU level the number of cases of STEC and HUS. At this stage of the epidemic, where sporadic cases are still reported as well as new limited clusters, only probable and confirmed epidemic cases are reported. As a consequence, suspected cases, not meeting the case definition have been removed from this table. These are 152 HUS including 7 deaths in Germany, 1 HUS and 8 non-HUS STEC cases in France.
As of today, using the new case-definition, the cumulative number of non-HUS STEC cases in the EU is 3 016, including 16 deaths and 752 HUS cases, including 28 deaths.
In Germany, since 6 July, 42 non-HUS STEC cases, 8 HUS cases including 2 deaths have been newly reported. Five HUS cases and nine non-HUS STEC cases fell ill within the last 10 days (27 June – 6 July). The last known date of illness onset in a patient with confirmed STEC O104 was 27 June 2011. The last reported date of illness onset among all cases was 4 July 2011.
There is no update regarding the outbreak in France (Bordeaux Region).
The table below shows the distribution of reported cases per country, now excluding suspected cases.
On 5 July, the European Commission decided to withdraw from the market, and temporarily ban the import of, certain types of seeds from Egypt, after the publication of the EFSA technical report implicating Egyptian fenugreek seeds in the outbreak (see links below).

Find Out Why She Probably Isn't Initiating Sex & What You Can Do To Help Her Feel More Comfortable Doing So
There are many reasons women don't initiate sex, some of which you may have figured out by now, and others which may come as a surprise. Below are the main reasons and tips on what you can do to undo this foul reasoning of hers, without her even being aware of it. Soon you'll be able to get her to initiate sex — at least half the time.
They don't have toLet's face it: The main reason women don't initiate sex is because they don't have to. They know that you'll let them know when you want it, at which point they can decide whether or not they want to comply. After all, if you're always the one asking for it, why would she even bother?
What to do: This is going to require some self-control on your part, but if you can pull it off, it's well worth it. If you usually have sex a couple of times a week, chances are that she expects that amount of intercourse. So, for a period of one week, tease her subtly by giving her long, passionate kisses, sensual massages or caressing her softly while you're watching a movie, and when you feel that she's getting turned on, slowly pull away and continue whatever you were doing in a non-sexual manner. A week of this will drive her up the wall, and she will be all over you by Saturday night.
She thinks it's tabooYou can thank society and her mother for this one. Some women have been raised to believe that a woman who initiates sex is invariably a slut. For a lady, such behavior is strictly taboo. She has been conditioned to believe that if she initiates sex, her boyfriend will think that she's a whore, so she never does. Unfortunately, you're dating a prude.
What to do: You have to eradicate this way of thinking from her mind altogether. How? Simple: One day, when you're out having a drink or lounging around the apartment, ask her what turns her on. After she gives you her response, tell her that what would really turn you on is if she initiated sex every so often. If she says that she couldn't, tell her that since you're a couple, it's really OK to do so.
Give her a little time to think about her next move, and keep your eyes open for it, as it could be so subtle at first that you may not even pick up on it. Be sure to give her lots of positive reinforcement for every move she makes. Pretty soon, she'll realize that her mother was wrong.
Find out what to do if she's afraid of rejection or isn't in the mood...

All hands on deck for Simshar
Young director Rebecca Cremona is on a mission to put Malta on the international movie map with her upcoming film Simshar. But she is at pains not to have it called a documentary, she tells Bertrand Borg.
Rebecca Cremona had barely finished uploading a teaser trailer for her upcoming film Simshar when variations of the same comment started coming in: looks great, but is it truly what happened?
Her answer was succinct. "No. But it's not meant to be." The 2008 Simshar tragedy, in which four people died in a fishing boat explosion, was only part of Ms Cremona's cinematic vision.
Anyone expecting to see a documentary about the Simshar incident is barking up the wrong tree, she said.
"The film is inspired by true events, but we've invented some characters and removed others – not because we don't care about them, but because we had to make it work dramatically."
The story, Ms Cremona explained, runs on three parallel tracks. The traditional Simshar story as most people know it is the first. Life on land, with Simon Bugeja's wife Sharin raising a family as immigration concerns and tension among fishermen start to bubble, is the second. Third, a Maltese doctor finds himself on board a migrant vessel, caring for a pregnant woman.
All throughout, the sounds of Maltese will blend with English dialogue. And the decision to go bilingual was intentional.
"I think it's extremely important to have a Maltese stamp. That doesn't mean it has to be inaccess-ible," Ms Cremona argued. "Take Monsoon Wedding, which is half in Hindi and half in English: it mirrors the way a middle-class Indian family speaks, but it's about a topic everyone can relate to."
Filming of the Simshar scenes was completed last month at Mediterranean Film Studios, and saw Ms Cremona and her crew struggle to film the sea-bound protagonists as they floated on a raft.
"It was sheer hell to light and film at first. The raft would just drift and spin around. Then we worked out a way of securing the raft without it showing underwater, and things got a little easier."
Many have labelled Simshar the first Maltese film to be released internationally. But Ms Cremona is keen to set the record straight.
"Cecil Satariano's Katarin was screened in some UK theatres in the 1970s. So, although Simshar might be the first to be intentionally released internationally, it won't be the first, full stop."
Ms Cremona, who has already won a Directors Guild of America Jury Prize for her period short Magdalene, is not coy about voicing her ambition.
"We want Simshar to do the festival run across the world. It's an independent film with mainstream appeal, and hopefully it will do well."
But first it will have to be completed, and film coffers need recharging before more filming.
"Some people think this is a multi-million-euro production in which money isn't any problem. But the truth is that a lot of it is down to friends, family and sponsors – from the Godwin's Garage cherry pickers to Movie People cameras, to my mother feeding the crew three times a day."
Funding opportunities were harder to come by in the current economic climate, she said. "We had private investment fall through in 2009. The Malta Film Fund grants have helped, but we're still behind on our funding targets. We're now trying to crowd-source €50,000 from individuals through Indiegogo – there's a link to that on the Simshar Facebook page."
Simshar's first teaser trailer – put together to attract investors – was released a couple of years ago. People might be wondering why it is taking so long.
"Many people don't understand why it takes so long to create a film. But that's perhaps part of the reason why nobody has done anything on this scale locally before.
"I first met Simon Bugeja six months after the Simshar tragedy, at Christmas 2008. And on average, it takes between four and seven years for a director to create their first feature film. So the film's actually on time."
Even so, the film's completion date will have little impact on its eventual release date, Ms Cremona said. "A film's virginity is very important – you've got to release it in sync with the festival run to have any chance of making an impact."
The headstrong director is adamant that Simshar's eventual international release be coupled with a Maltese premiere. "The themes are universal, but the film, its makers and its context are Malta through and through. And I think that's something to be celebrated."

Richie Incognito couldn't hide from a Rams pink slip on Tuesday.
Two days after exchanging words with head coach Steve Spagnuolo on the sideline, Incognito was cut by the 1-12 Rams.
"As with all other personnel moves, this is what we felt was in the best interest of the team at this time," Spagnuolo said in a statement. "We appreciate Richie's efforts and we wish him the very best."
Incognito drew two personal fouls for head-butting in the Rams' 47-7 loss to the Titans on Sunday. And then he drew a dressing-down and benching from Spagnuolo after his latest transgression of NFL decorum.
Incognito, who has started 24 games for the Rams in the past two years, drew negative attention last November when he mocked fans in St. Louis after a 27-3 home loss to the Bears.
Incognito then smugly defended his taunting of the fans after the game and complained that the St. Louis locals were not supporting the team, which then was 2-9. -- Sean Leahy

Help! 325ix Won't start.
Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help that you can give me.
I just bought my first BMW about 3 months ago, and it stopped starting. When I turn the key it hums and clicks three times, but nothing happens. My feeling is that it's something with a sensor or the computer, but here is a rundown of what I've checked or done.
The battery is good.
The car will push start, but won't start back up.
When I turn the key, there isn't any power drain typical of a starter problem. The starter wasn't dragging or anything previous to not starting, it just seems like it isn't getting any power sent to it.
When I push start it, the anti-lock brake light is on. ?
All the fuses are good.
The mass air flow sensor is making a buzzing noise. Normal?
Thanks again, I love my car, and I love it even more when it works. Maybe I should buy a new bike?
Alright, it looks like it was the starter after all. It was just strange that it went out so quickly, and stopped the car when it was driving. It must have shorted out or something. Oh well, good luck guys.

This is a good question, can anybody from sparkfun confirm it one way or the other?

Hi Thela! A very happy Pet of the Day to you, cutie pie!
Oh, this piggie loving heart of mine skipped a beat the moment I laid eyes on you! What a precious piggie you are, Thela, and the spitting image of my beloved Rainbow Bridge girl, Ruby! How lucky your human and piggie pals are, having a sweet and loving, kiss dispensing furkid and furry friend in you! As your person says, you've only been with your family a short time but already you've stolen their hearts! And it's great to hear you're settling in so nicely, bonding not only with your human but all of your furry friends as well. Nothing like the addition of a life loving pig to the pack to get everyone moving!
Thanks for ending my day with a BIG smile, sweet baby girl! Enjoy a very happy day, celebrating your well earned Pet of the Day props with your proud person and piggie pals!
Lots of love, cuddles and little kisses to you, precious piggie Thela! Please have your person give you an extra bit of yummy red pepper and carrot!
