The Five Best Sites for Modern Catholics
2008-09-17 10:44:00 Sometimes it's difficult to find places on the web that have up-to-date information on Catholicism and its teachings on theological, moral, and social issues. The majority of Catholic based sites are either outdated, or focus solely on Catholic news, rather than issues that affect the Church or individual belief. Below are 5 sites that are exceptional in presenting the Catholic worldview effectively on a wide range of pertinent topics. Catholic Answers - When it comes to apologetics, the guys at Catholic answers are by far the leaders in the field. I personally do not care too much for their written resources on the site, but their radio show is absolutely invaluable. The guests on their show are always relevant, and often they have shows dedicated to a particular topic of interest. They also have Q and A shows that are focused primarily on audience questions. I highly recommend subscribing to their radio podcast. Biblical Evidence for Catholicism - This website (operated by ...

Uncivilized action in modern age
2008-09-10 12:28:00 Article from Malaysia-Today:KUALA LUMPUR: Umno has suspended Bukit Bendera division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail for three years over his alleged racist remarks about the Chinese. The decision was reached at a special meeting of the Umno supreme council held at the PWTC Wednesday afternoon. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi chaired the meeting. Does this really help? NO!For me, even a proper apology from Ahmad won't be sufficient to settle the race tension arise due to his racist remark.What action would have the police/PM taken if one tore the picture of Ahmad Badawi in front of public eyes?ISA? Beaten in Lock-up? Cursed to dead?Be fair & treat Malaysian as the same kind of human being.

Vintage Knitwear for Modern Knitters: five free patterns to download
2008-08-31 04:56:00 Vintage Knitwear for Modern Knitters: five free patterns to download Combine the current vogue for vintage with the craze for knitting and what do you get? A public hungry for old-fashioned patterns they can make at home. Eithne Farry reviews a new book that translates old designs for modern knitters, and, you can download five of the book's elegant patterns Download five free patterns from Vintage Knitwear here (pdf) If you flicked through magazines from the 1930s to the 1950s, the key look of those elegant decades would be a sophisticated, decidedly feminine look, where the glamorous knitwear took centre stage; the gamine silhouette of the 1920s - all straight lines and boyishly cropped hair - was abandoned for something altogether more seductive. The 1930s showcased neat little cardigans and jumpers in jewel-bright colours, decorated with quirky geometric buttons, which flattered slender waists and a trim torso. The 1940s saw knitwear adapt a bit of military chic with tapered j...

Modern Guilt
2008-07-09 07:03:00 Beck's new album Modern Guilt, produced with Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, will be released July 8, 2008.The new album contains 10 new songs, and with the exception of last year's Grammy-nominated, digital-only single "Timebomb", Modern Guilt is the first new material Beck has written since the prolific stretch that produced 2005's platinum Guero and 2006's universally acclaimed The Information.Modern Guilt is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off the cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor. Musically, the album's ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse's shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism and orchestration.Beck is about to embark on a tour of the UK and Europe, followed by a number of US headline and festival appearances, culminating in Beck's biggest hometown headline show to date, Septe...

Criticism of Modern Fansubbing
2008-06-08 18:07:00 I just watched this documentory titled THE RISE AND FALL OF ANIME FANSUBS. Here go you: PART 1 More parts and my opinions after the cut. PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 PART 5 The narrator makes some very good points; I especially agree with the points about keeping honorifics, not translating words, and putting excessive liner notes on screen. I less agree about translating signs, but I do think putting the translation seamlessly into the animation is over-doing it. I do agree with the over-use of colors, karaoke, and other special effects, especially for opening and ending pieces. Well, at least the fansubbers are doing this for free and I do get to see alot of anime that I'd normally wouldn't get to see otherwise, but I do prefer buying R1 DVDs for the reason that I think the translations for the subtitles tend to be much better.

An All-Automatic CVT Based Bicycle
2008-06-04 06:38:00 Personally, I'm not much interested in wanting to have an all-auto bike. Maybe its nice to have one in my collection, if such a contraption ever exists, just for the kicks. But the very notion of riderless shifting is sort of repelling to me. But all people aren't like me, so its okay. Its nice to be sensitive to everyone when you're out to design something.A month or two back, I had written a post called "New Ideas for Cycling Products". It was mostly science fiction, which I admitted. It was fun though.Well it seems like I missed out on the All-Automatic Bicycle, a bike that thinks and shifts on its own without the rider's mechanical involvement at the handlebars.This daydreaming of mine is based on a post on Ari's blog, pointed out to readers by James' Bicycle Design. Ari calls it "The NuFixie challenge : Can you build a 'fixed effort' bicycle?"I want to take a small dab at this. Nothing is too technical or specific. I'm beating around the bush but I hope you see where i... |
