Surf Skiing Takes Surfing and Injects it with a Healthy Dose of Dorkiness [
2009-08-26 19:04:00 From Gizmodo: I can't tell if these surf skis are a brilliant invention or one of the dorkiest things I've ever seen. Probably a little bit of both. Invented by Vermonter Jason Starr, surf skiing was invented because of "Starr's belief that surfing and skiing share a bond as ori

2009-01-24 17:08:00 Konon tarian Reog diciptakan Ki Ageng Kutu, abdi Raja Bra Kertabumi dari Majapahit. Ki Ageng Kutu kecewa atas perilaku Kertabumi yang korup dan banyak diatur oleh Kerajaan Cina, ia menggunakan tarian reog untuk menyindir Kertabumi. Kepala singa melambangkan Singa Barong, simbol Kertabumi, sedangkan bulu-bulu merak di puncak kepala singa adalah simbol Kerajaan Cina. Dalam tarian Reog terdapat sekelompok penari Gemblak yang menjadi simbol pasukan Majapahit dan Warok sebagai simbol pasukan Ki Ageng Kutu.

Double dose of DB Crude (DXO)
2009-01-07 06:00:00 As his top idea for 2009, fund expert Doug Fabian (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2735) eyes PowerShares DB Crude (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=dxo) (NYSE: DXO (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=dxo)). In Successful Investing (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2735), he looks at this ETN, a leveraged play which moves double the underlying index."I like oil at its year-end 2008 bargain prices. One way to invest in oil and ride its likely rebound during 2009 is to buy the PowerShares DB Crude ETN."This is a two beta or double long exchanged traded note. This is an aggressive position and should only be used with more speculative capital."In late 2008, Oil was trading 60% below its 200-day average, a very rare occurrence. Indeed, oil has fallen 70% from its 2008 highs."DXO seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, which correspond to twice the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas index.

The Foul-Smelling Race and a Liberal Dose of Chemicals
2008-11-27 20:57:00 It dawned on me the other day that we must be an extremely pongy nation! This realization did not spring on me whilst I searched for oxygen under the runny armpit of some banker on the London Underground or whilst reeling at my own disgusting morning breath but was born from a million and one adverts on television that tell us that we need to get serious.Hundreds of adverts strongly suggest that life cannot go on without serious assistance. Young lads roam the streets in sadness, isolated and shunned until one fine day they discover deodorant! A liberal all-over dunking of some false-smelling spray drastically changes everything, locked doors open, withered flowers spring into bloom and well, girls, just fall head over heels were before they were instantly turned off. Girls only fall in love with boys who are petrified in various liquids and sprays, boys only fall in love with the wild woman who spends a fortune on a hint-of-a-tint rose, begonia, Japanese pine (maybe that was for th...

He doesnâ€t gossip over the fence, just smiles politely and offers you some tomatoes. His lawn is cared-for, his house is neat as a pin and you get the feeling he doesnâ€t always lock his front door. He wears Dockers. You hardly know heâ€s there. And then one day you discover that he has pot in his basement, spends his weekends at peace marches and that guy youâ€ve seen mowing the yard is his spouse."Read More...

A Monday Dose Of Obama-Rama Wankery
2008-08-04 17:26:00 On a scale of pissant pundits, John Harwood of the New York Times isn?t too bad, but he still served up some choice items in this column about the presidential campaign that deserve a response?Establishment candidates typically use risk arguments to fend off dashing insurgents promising change. It didn?t work for President Jimmy Carter against Ronald Reagan in 1980; it did for Walter F. Mondale against Gary Hart in Democratic primaries four years later.This is a minor point, but it really should be noted that Carter was elected against Gerald Ford in 1976 as an ?insurgent promising change,? if you will, in light of Ford?s pardon of Richard Nixon for the Watergate scandal, as well as some of Ford?s presidential gaffes, including his statement that, at the time, Poland ?did not consider itself to be under Soviet domination,? though it most certainly was (compared to Dubya, though, Ford looks like a scholar, even though he helped launch the political careers of two Repug operatives nam...
A dose of photography - 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS.
2008-07-31 20:29:00 Back in 2006 while I was up in Boston, Massachusetts taking in the World of Wheels show, I came this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS. This wasn't the first time I had seen this ride in person before as this Camaro was on display at the 2005 World of Wheels too. I really didn't know too much about it from the photo, however while watching an episode of NOPI Tunervision, they featured this very ride with the owner. From what the owner said, the Camaro features a 502 V8, C5 corvette taillights and was built in 9 months. what an amazing Camaro.

A Small Dose of Acceptance
2008-05-10 04:00:00 For the last seven months I?ve been a hermit, holed up on my own and keeping to myself.[You know, doing the whole grief thing.]Sometime in the recent past I noticed streams of stubborn, persistent sunlight sneaking through the slats of my down-turned window blinds. Curious, I opened the front door with squinted and adjusting eyes to see that my entire yard was full of people.At first I hurried back inside and shut the door. Oh, my GOD! Who ARE all those people and what are they doing in my yard?!!Gradually I went out among them.They invited us to their houses for dinners and play dates and we invited them back...They made us laugh.They have us out and about, walking around our neighborhood."Let's go on an adventure!" The Rooster says. I like thinking of our walks that way.The other day we were strolling up a quiet, neighborhood street hand in hand letting the perfect evening breeze billow all around us.I beamed, feeling happy.I thought about the new people in our lives and the acc...

Adding dose of Excitement to Help
2008-05-01 09:54:00 It is very important for every person to add some dose of excitement in his life because even a small dose of excitement has the potential of making our life many times full of energy. Mostly, people claim that there life has become very dull and lack essential energy and main reason behind this lack of energy is none availability of any strong sense of doing a work. By adding small dose of excitement in life people can transform their simple work in to very attractive and enjoyable work. Once a work is converted in to exciting and enjoyable work then chances of extraordinary success in this work increases many times. We all can easily find many examples around us in which people have achieved extraordinary results with ordinary works. Therefore, it is not important that which work we are presently doing but it is more important how much we are enjoying our work. Excitement also helps any person in providing missing dosage of energy for doing the particular job with perfection. Most...

A dose of photography - Could a Nomad be in Chevrolet’s future too, but w
2008-04-14 07:42:00 For the past four years, I have been seeing this Chevrolet Nomad Concept Car on the auto show circuit at both the Boston show and the Providence show and while the vehicle has gotten my father’s attention, meaning he likes it, personally it’s not a real Nomad to me. A Chevrolet Nomad would be a good added edition to the Chevrolet lineup as a modern version of the famous car from 1955-1957, a two-door station wagon which would include a large bench backseat with lots of room behind the backseat for whatever you buy or haul around.This version pictured below reminds me of a Pontiac Solstice Coupe or its sister version the Saturn Sky. Personally if Chevrolet really wanted to make the Chevy Nomad as a throwback to the classic 1955 version, then they could use the new Pontiac G8 rear wheel drive platform to produce this car and while that might sell, I’m not much for a rear wheel drive car as I live in New England where five months out of the year it’s winter. Maybe it’s possib...

A dose of the Great War: the story of an unsung guerilla (2)
2008-04-06 17:12:00 ?When Gen. MacArthur and his troops landed in Palo bay, several of us local guerillas paved the way for the Americans to attack Ormoc and recapture the valley. In my company, we were 50 and after three days of gunfire, our number was reduced to 29. But the reward was a swift victory. A few days later after the victory in Ormoc, a Japanese fleet was seen in the bay of Villaba and Palompon in the northwestern part of Leyte transporting soldiers from Luzon, but their reinforcement was too late. An allied fighter plane dropped several bombs on the fleet; the Japanese was caught by surprise attack, and so they had no other choice but to jump into the sea to survive.??I knew then that the war would not last for another ten years?we couldn?t afford to wait even for a year of pain and suffering. The war must be stopped. My best friend was killed when we were attacked in our barracks; he died on my arms. That was terrible, and sad. When he was dying, I did not say anything. I was silent unti...

A dose of the Great War: the story of an unsung guerilla
2008-04-04 14:51:00 The World War II was the bloodiest war in human history. Heroes were rewarded with their names written in history books. The villains were remembered as war criminals. But both of them were human slayers?in a sense they?re all criminals.But according to the definition of the heroes who wrote history from the perspective of the victor?they?re the saviours of humanity, and the villains the dark cloud that murdered innocent people both military and civilians.With this, one can only surmise on how to justify the hundreds of thousands of civilians who died during the bombing of Hiroshima (6 August 1945) and Nagasaki (9 August 1945) to force the surrender of the Japanese Imperial Army.The United States forces under the command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and the Allied Forces were, according to most history textbooks, the heroes. And the villains were the infamous Nazi Adolf Hitler who murdered millions of Jews and Emperor Hirohito of Japan; the dark horse was Josef Stalin of USSR whose for...

Daily Dose of Discernment: 4/2/08
2008-04-02 15:04:00 Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction -- where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth: this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert -- himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt -- the Divine Reason. Huxley preached a humility content to learn from Nature. But the new sceptic is so humble that he doubts if he can even learn. Thus we should be wrong if we had said hastily that there is no humility typical of our time. The truth is that there is a real humility typical of our time; but it so happens that it is practically a more poisonous humility than the wildest prostrations of the ascetic. The old humility was a spur that prevented a man from stopping: not a nail in his boot that prevented him from going on. For the old humility made a man doubtful about his...
Daily Dose of Discernment: 4/1/08
2008-04-02 02:03:00 We shall never make anything of democracy until we make fools of ourselves. For if a man really cannot make a fool of himself, we may be quite certain that the effort is superfluous.-- G. K. Chesterton, The Defendant- - - - - - - - - -Jesus took care of his mother, spoke to her, gave her for a son the disciple he loved, and said to that disciple, Behold your mother. As Saint John here represented all peoples, our Savior commanded us all in his person to honor and serve the Blessed Virgin as our Mother. It was, nevertheless, a great consolation to that afflicted Mother to hear the voice of her only Son. She knew that by adopting a second son she ceased not to be the mother of the first, whom she regarded as her Creator and her God. The holy virgin accepted Saint John as her son in the same way as she accepted, at the same time, all the human race as her children. Mary accepted this trust because she clearly saw that it was the will of Christ, and that people, after having treated him...

2008-03-31 07:07:00 As Mr. Blatchford says, "The world does not want piety, but soap -- and Socialism." Piety is one of the popular virtues, whereas soap and Socialism are two hobbies of the upper middle class.-- G. K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World- - - - - - - - - -When Christ is lifted up on the cross do not let your inward gaze dwell only upon the appearance he had in the eyes of the wicked, to whom the word was addressed through Moses: Your life will hang before your eyes; night and day you shall be in dread, and have no assurance of your life.Oh the marvelous power of the cross, the glory in the passion! No tongue can fully describe it. Here we see the judgment seat of the Lord, here sentence is passed upon the world, and there the sovereignty of the Crucified is revealed. You drew all things to yourself, Lord, when you stretched out your hands all the day long to a people that denied and opposed you, until at last the whole world was brought to proclaim your majesty.

Daily Dose of Discernment: 3/30/08
2008-03-30 16:00:00 Every man is dangerous who only cares for one thing.-- G. K. Chesterton, The Napoleon of Notting Hill- - - - - - - - - -He is the One who brought us out of slavery into freedom, out of darkness into light, out of death into life, out of tyranny into an eternal kingdom; who made us a new priesthood, a people chosen to be his own for ever. He is the Passover that is our salvation.It is he who endured every kind of suffering in all those who foreshadowed him. In Abel he was slain, in Isaac bound, in Jacob exiled, in Joseph sold, in Moses exposed to die. He was sacrificed in the passover lamb, persecuted in David, dishonored in the prophets.It is he who was made man of the Virgin, he who was hung on the tree; it is he who was buried in the earth, raised from the dead, and taken up to the heights of heaven. He is the mute lamb, the slain lamb, the lamb born of Mary, the fair ewe. He was seized from the flock, dragged off to be slaughtered, sacrificed in the evening, and buried at night. ...
Daily Dose of Discernment: 3/29/08
2008-03-29 15:00:00 The modern humanitarian can love all opinions, but he cannot love all men; he seems sometimes, in the ecstasy of his humanitarianism, even to hate them all. He can love all opinions, including the opinion that men are unlovable.-- G. K. Chesterton, Introduction to "Hard Times"- - - - - - - - - -Gentle First Truth is teaching you and leaving you as a commandment: to love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself. He gave you the example, hanging on the wood of the most holy cross. While the Jews cried, "Crucify him!" he cried out humbly, meekly: "Father, forgive those who are crucifying me, because they don't know what they are doing!" Look at his boundless charity! He not only forgives them, but excuses them before the Father. What an example! What a teaching! The just one, who never had the poison of sin in himself, suffers at the hands of the unjust to atone for our sin! Oh how ashamed we should be to follow the teaching of the devil and sensuality, more concerned about ...
Daily Dose of Discernment: 3/28/08
2008-03-28 19:22:00 Cruelty to animals is cruelty and a vile thing; but cruelty to a man is not cruelty; it is treason. Tyranny over a man is not tyranny: it is rebellion, for man is royal. Now, the practical weakness of the vast mass of modern pity for the poor and the oppressed is precisely that it is merely pity; the pity is pitiful, but not respectful. Men feel that the cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is injustice to equals; nay, it is treachery to comrades. This dark, scientific pity, this brutal pity, has an elemental sincerity of its own, but it is entirely useless for all ends of social reform. Democracy swept Europe with the sabre when it was founded upon the Rights of Man. It has done literally nothing at all since it has been founded only upon the wrongs of man. Or, more strictly speaking, its recent failure has been due to its not admitting the existence of any rights or wrongs, or indeed of any humanity. Evolution (the sinister enemy of revoluti...
Daily Dose of Discernment: 3/27/08
2008-03-27 19:17:00 For human beings, being children, have the childish wilfulness and the childish secrecy. And they never have from the beginning of the world done what the wise men have seen to be inevitable.-- G. K. Chesterton, The Napoleon of Notting Hill- - - - - - - - - -Not only need we feel no shame for the death of the Lord our God: we should put all our trust in it and take pride in it, since having taken up himself the death he found in us, he has promised that we shall find our life in him, a life we could never have of ourselves. If he who was sinless so loved us as to be willing to suffer what we had deserved for our sins, then surely he who has justified us will gladly give us the recompense of the just. Will he not reward his saints according to his faithful promise, when he took upon himself, guiltless though he was, the punishment due to the guilty?And so, let us confidently acknowledge and openly declare that Christ was crucified for our sake, proclaiming it with joy and pride, not ...
Daily Dose of Discernment: 3/26/08
2008-03-26 18:05:00 It is one of the mean and morbid modern lies that physical courage is connected with cruelty. The Tolstoian and Kiplingite are nowhere more at one than in maintaining this. They have, I believe, some small sectarian quarrel with each other: the one saying that courage must be abandoned because it is connected with cruelty, and the other maintaining that cruelty is charming because it is a part of courage. But it is all, thank God, a lie. An energy and boldness of body may make a man stupid or reckless or dull or drunk or hungry, but it does not make him spiteful.-- G. K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World- - - - - - - - - -Determined to give his disciples an example they could imitate, our Lord himself became one with them by assuming a human soul like theirs. This enabled him to enter into their sentiments and thus to sow the seeds of comfort in their hearts. He acquainted himself with their fear in order that the knowledge of his resemblance to themselves might restrain them... |
