it's time to go back to the 60's


I think it only fair now they shut down the real moron site Q&A's...
thats where all the idiots hammer your questions.
Nothing like answering a question with a question.
Maybe if everyone would just not go to the yahoo beta page they would lose some more jobs a
nd the people at yahoo, would have a change of thought as to what they are trying to do.
Which is screw it up. Thanks to the people that have to clone and make pages for hate.
Ah well, when they start taking away our choice of adult content in blogs and censoring us it's time to go back to the 60's

 I thought 360 was good until they decided to close it.
They tried another site that didn't last long and I don't think the new profile well last very long either.
Atleast I had fun with 60 and met a lot of new friends.

scientific death of Jesus


60 seconds with God...
During 60 seconds, leave whatsoever your doing and seize this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS





At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death penalty.

That was then the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worst, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet.


Of course, nails... Big nails! Each was 15 a 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm. Another point was sharp.


The nails were craved into the pulses, and not into the palms, as we are used to hear. In the pulse, there's a tendon which extends till the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was loosing all the air from his lungs.


He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes.



When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body.


He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water.
Human body is composed by near 3.5 litres of blood (for adult).


Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who nailed a spear into his chest.



All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometres, while the crowd spat on his face and throwed stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).


Jesus had to pass all this experience, so that you can have free access to God.


So that your sins could be "washed". All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. HE DIED FOR YOU!. For you, who now read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to the church or for pastors, bishops, etc).




He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried on what they may think about your moral.

Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.





God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think on this! May God bless your life!


60 seconds with God...

During 60 seconds, leave whatsoever your doing and seize this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.





All you have to do is:


1.. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you: Lord, you better know the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all realms and make him/her prospering. Take care of his/her family, his/her health, his/her work and all his/her plans for this year. Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.


2.Then, send this message to 10 people.


3. Once, 10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God for other people.
4. Think a moment and appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.

If you are not ashamed in doing this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:33): "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven".


If you are not ashamed, send this message... Only if you believe in Him.


Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my saviour. He keeps me alive day and night.

Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". Philippians 4:13.

This is the simple proof. If you love God and your are not ashamed for all things He has done for you, send this to all those you love.

The Story of Mother's Day

SpringThe Story of Mother's Day

The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday." Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter), "Mothering Sunday" honored the mothers of England.

During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.

As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the "Mother Church" -- the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration. People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

In the United States Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe (who wrote the words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic) as a day dedicated to peace. Ms. Howe would hold organized Mother's Day meetings in Boston, MA, every year.

In 1907 Anna Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia, to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year, Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.

Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.

Celebrating Mother's Day

One the best way to celebrate Mother's Day is to give your mom the day off. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family does the work.

Many families begin Mother's Day with breakfast in bed. Usually Dad and the Kids will let mom sleep late as they go into the kitchen and prepare her favorite meal. A Mother's Day breakfast can consist of anything your mom likes.

After the food is cooked arrange everything nicely on a tray. Don't forget the vase with a single flower. With spring here, the children can pick a tulip or daffodil from the garden outside.

When everything is ready carefully carry the tray and mom's favorite sections from the newspaper up to her bedroom. Cards and small presents from the children can be placed on the tray before it is presented to mom in bed.

Many families make a special Mother's Day dinner or take mom out to her favorite restaurant for a meal. It is a good day to let your mom relax and let her see what a wonderful family she has!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Em có dịp cùng một số anh chị em CBS đi Pleiku. Đêm lên đường, xe xuyên đêm đen tiến về Tây Nguyên. Trời se lạnh, mưa rơi lất phất... Em chụp không đẹp, đơn giản chỉ là đời thường...giọt nắng giọt mưa đây đó em xin chia sẻ thôi ạ.


2. Qua lối Bình Phước - Đồng Xoài - Lên hướng Đắk Nông qua Đăk Lăk rồi đến Gialai... dọc đường đêm, rất ít xe bộ hành. Thi thoảng có chiếc xe tải hoặc xe khách lầm lũi trong đêm.


3. Nửa đêm, đường nhuộm màu đất đỏ xuất hiện. Dấu hiệu đoàn đã lên đến địa giới Tây nguyên - vùng đất nắng bụi mưa bùn.


4. Từ ngã ba Hàm Rồng, rẽ trái 40km. Chúng tôi vào một ngôi làng - làng Khóp - cách biên giới Kampuchia 10km. Căn nhà tá túc là căn này.


5. Có một ngôi nhà lợp ngói khang trang hơn, người J'rai dành cho khách quý. Họ mời nhóm CBS lên căn nhà đó.


6. Chiếc cầu thang làm nhiều bạn suýt té là đây. Một súc gỗ lớn được đẽo thành.


7. Xung quanh có một số ngôi nhà sàn nhỏ nhỏ thế này. Số nhà sàn có rất ít. Người J'rai ở đây xuống đất ở cả rồi.


8. Nhà cũng cách điệu làm nhiều mái và có gian ngang gian dọc chứ không chỉ 1 gian dài như xưa.


9. Mái lợp bằng lá rừng - một thứ lá nắng thì khô mát mưa thì dẽo dai.


10. Vách cũng được lợp bằng thứ là rừng đó.



11. Những nhà hội, nhà Rông, nhà Thờ thì họ làm vách bằng gốc cafe và tre.


12. Gốc cafe lấy từ những vườn cafe già cỗi, không sinh hoa trái tốt nữa, đốn đi trồng cây mới.


13. Vừa chắc chắn, vừa trang trí cho vách nhà. Nghe bảo gốc cafe thì không bị mối mọt đục khoét.


14. Vách làm bằng tre nứa. Họ quét dầu rái lên cho có màu và chống mọt.


15. Rèm cửa cũng được trang trí bằng những đoạn trúc...


16. Một bức vách nhà thờ làng Khóp.

[INDENT]17. Vừa cất đồ đạc xong, nhóm anh em theo mọi người J'rai dọc theo con đường mòn vào rừng.


18. Hôm đó là ngày 1/11 - Lễ cầu cho các đẳng linh hồn - Người J'rai kéo nhau vào nghĩa trang cầu lễ. Họ vác theo mỗi gia đình ít nhất là 1 vò rượu cần. Xa xa kia là một vài anh em cbs đang chụp cảnh hừng đông trong rừng sâu và suối nước...


19. Vào đến nghĩa trang thì đã thấy các em J'rai đến từ rất sớm.


20. Các bé J'rai rất ấn tượng... các em ngồi trên khắp các bờ mộ chờ đến giờ lễ.


21. Mắc cỡ... và Buồn cười...


22. Đôi mắt nói được những lời ...


23. Tuy xa mà gần...


24. Cô bé này rất dễ thương đến trễ hơn các bạn, thả gùi sau lưng và ngồi lên thành mộ.


25. Chơi với các em một hồi, quay lại thì dân đã đến rất đông, giờ lễ cũng bắt đầu.

[INDENT]26. Cồng chiêng - Trống Đàn rộn rã vang vọng cả góc rừng. Thánh lễ bắt đầu.


27. Những lời ca tiếng hát: "này con là bụi đất, sẽ trở về cát bụi..." được cất lên... "Xin Chúa trên Trời cao đưa linh hồn những người đã ra đi trước chúng con được hưởng phúc vĩnh cữu..."


28. Hồn nhiên trong tôn kính


29. Khẩn cầu khi bồng con trong vòng tay


30. Bà mẹ này nức nở khi nhắc đến người thân mình đã khuất


31. Hình ảnh địu con như thế này rất nhiều. Người J'rai địu con đi trên mọi nẻo đường từ nương đến nhà.


32. Có Mẹ J'rai địu con cả trước lẫn sau.


33. Nghĩa trang nghi ngút khói hương cùng với lời cầu nguyện râm ran của dân làng Khóp.


34. Đa số là những ngôi mồ thế này.


35. Trên người sống đang khẩn nguyện, dưới cây thánh giá đó là lớp người đã hoàn tất trước một hành trình quan trọng.


36. Em bé J'rai này thắp hương cho cha mình, ra đi trong một chuyến lên nương. Nó nức nở mãi...


37. Câu nói Quách Tĩnh trả lời Thành Cát Tư Hãn trên núi cao bỗng hiện ra: "Rằng Đại Hãn là bá chủ thiên hạ, ngựa voi đi đến đâu, thế gian thuộc về Đại Hãn đến đó, nhưng khi nằm xuống, Đại Hãn mang theo được bao nhiêu đất?"


38. Background của con đường đam mê cái "bấm ngón tay trỏ" - Background của những tay súng oai hùng..hihi!

Em đang lang thang trong vườn caphe tìm xem có con sâu con kiến độc gì để làm quả macro, thì giật cả mình, một bó thịt treo lơ lửng trên cành caphe thế này....


43.
Đứng im một lúc, nghe tiếng động ở dưới dốc... em men theo xuống thì thấy cảnh đang làm đồ nhậu.
Người thì xắt thịt.


44.
Kẻ thì xắt chuối


45.
Ruột của cây chuối... trộn với thịt thành món chuối thịt...hì


46.
Thành phẩm là đây!

[INDENT]47. Cuộc vui vẫn chưa chìm, giờ là lúc người ta chuẩn bị các món. Gạo được ngâm và đổ vào cối. Em xin phép BQT SGPT cho em post 2 tấm gif cho nó sinh động. Tiếng chày xen lẫn tiếng cồng chiêng vang vọng làm lòng em rộn rã không diễn tả hết được bằng cú bấm máy.

[CENTER][/CENTER]

48. Cối gỗ và rất chắc. Hai người dựng chày giã mãi...giã mãi...thình thình. Hôm ấy ngồi nghe tiếng giã gạo mà ngoài kia cồng chiêng cứ âm vang...rặc mùi Tây Nguyên xung quanh tim óc.

[CENTER][/CENTER]

49. Gạo ngâm giã cối là để làm bánh. Gạo ngâm mà làm cơm thì đổ vào trong các ống tre thế này và lùi vào lửa trấu cho đến khi chín gạo bên trong. Gạo chín bằng nước từ thân tre với hơi nóng của trấu ngún. Cơm Lam đấy!

[CENTER][/CENTER]

50. Mấy đứa nhỏ nhỏ thì được phát cho một khúc cơm lam. Chị em này dắt nhau ra một phần mộ ngồi chia nhau. Em chụp được 1 tấm và ngồi mà đồng cảm.

[CENTER][/CENTER]

51. Mấy đứa lớn lớn thì chưa được khúc nào, mà phải đứng từ đàng xa chứ không được vào gần khu vực tiệc. Chú bé tóc hoe này đứng mãi bên kia bờ. Em chụp chú bằng ống 200mm gắn tube x2.

[CENTER][/CENTER]

52. Người J'rai theo chế độ mẫu hệ, nhưng thực tế ngày nay thì người phụ nữ ít quyền trong nhà và làng lắm. Em bé này cứ thập thò bên ngực mẹ nhìn các cánh đàn ông đang ăn nhậu.

[CENTER][/CENTER]

53. Bé này thì được hẳn một khúc cơm lam. Nhìn nó ngấu nghiến mà thương lắm!

[CENTER][/CENTER]

54. Còn bé này thì không quan tâm gì đến thế sự bên ngoài, họ ăn nhậu ra sao, cơm lam với gà nướng lá é coi như không có. Bầu sữa mẹ là nhất trên đời. Nhìn đôi mắt nó mỉm cười hạnh phúc mãn nguyện thật!

[CENTER][/CENTER]

55. Cánh đàn ông ngồi uống trước rượu đế. Họ vạt chéo cái ông tre làm ly. Cứ mỗi người mỗi ly như thế.

[CENTER][/CENTER]

Và khi mọi sự đã sẵn sàng, những dãy rượu thế này được bày ra. Mỗi người cứ uống mỗi vò 1 căn (khoảng 1 xị) lần lượt hết vò này đến vò cuối cùng... rồi sang dãy khác và xoay vòng cho đến tối...và đến khi trăng tàn rượu nhạt.

[CENTER][/CENTER][/INDENT]

NGHỀ TRUYỀN THỐNG:
Trước đây ngừơi Chăm chủ yếu sống bằng nghề dệt vãi , thêu đan . Hầu như nhà nào cũng có những khung cửi để dệt những tấm vải may trang phục cho gia đình và để bán.
Nhưng chất lượng , mẫu mã không đa dạng và chi phí cao quá, nên nghề truyền thống dần dần bị thu hẹp lại.
Những năm gần đây một số làng nghề được phục hồi. Nhưng chủ yếu để phục vụ cho dịch vụ du lịch.
Xin giới thiệu một số hình ảnh về nghề truyền thống của người Chăm An Giang.

Happy Friendship Day


corner…i felt to make this friendship day a little special for all my lovely friends out there…So friends this one’s especially for all of u…

Since the day we became friends ...u have made each day of my life so beautiful…n have been there with me through all the good and the bad times…i guess if not for you then i wouldn’t have understood the meaning of friendship…Don’t take it as flattery, for the reason I’m writing this post is just to make u realize how special u are to me…as friendship is about letting your friends know how much you love them and care for them. As we have heard it innumerable times

“True friends are there with you when the world may not be on your side”

…So i guess its my turn to write in a little about my so sweet friends…

I may not have been with you at all the times when you were low, but i always tried my best to be by your side, to be with you in the best way possible…One thing that always say all my friends is

“Dont walk ahead of me, I may not follow,

Dont walk behind me, I may not lead,

But, Walk by my side…& be my friend…”


Your simple ways to reach out to me and being there for me with your full fledged support is what has made me hold on tight to u…I dunno how you do this, but you make all my problems look so tiny, n yet so manageable…your modesty, your attitude towards life has always inspired me…

I dont have a big list of friends, but the little bunch of friends that i have is more than enough for me to hold on to…They mean the world to me…Our fights, our arguments, our heated up discussions, no matter how often we end our conversation with the same…but we still end up caring more and more about each other & that is the beauty of our friendship…


I treasure our friendship, & will never forget you all my life…for you are the cutest thing in my life…[:)] This inexplicable bonding is what is required between friends to have a healthy and happy life…and i hope it stays like this forever…Life without friendship is like “The Sky without the sun ” & “The flowers without their colours“…thats the reason why i dont want to let go of u…The times that i have spent with you, have been the most memorable of them all & when i think of them i wish that we could go back in those times…

I am the most happiest when you are around…I read it somewhere that

“FRIENDS ARE LIKE THE STREET LIGHTS…along d road…they dont make the distance any shorter but they LIGHT UP THE PATH n MAKE THE WALK WORTHWHILE”

…No one’s perfect, & so am I, but with you by my side i dont think i need to be perfect as we together are perfect…Nobody can take your place in my life…


So, today i confess that i wouldnt have been the person i am without you in my life…You have changed me, & u mean the whole world to me…Always be with me as you have been & i promise to be with you forever…Times change, people change, but friends dont change…so no matter how much be the distance between us, no matter how often we speak on phone, no matter how many times we get to meet in a year…you are very very very special to me & will always be…what actually matters is our bonding, our understanding, and our friendship…I really hope that it lasts forever…

Happy Friendship Day

DR. ALEXANDRE YERSIN


Alexandre Yersin was born in 1863 in Vaud - Morges, Switzerland. In 1882 he received a baccalaureate degree in literature, and in 1888, after having graduated from medical school in Paris, he formally changed his citizenship to French. He joined Dr. Louis Pasteurs team at about the same time. There after, Dr. Yersin became famous through many of the pioneering work done by Pasteurs team. His wanderlust brought him to Vietnam.

On July 1891, his expedition to the highlands of Vietnam brought to the discovery of Da Lat, and later many water sources in this region. He was also credited for the discoveries of many mysteries in the western highlands of Vietnam.

Although Yersin loved Da Lat, his home is located in Nha Trang. In Nha Trang, Yersin built the Pasteur institute, named after his mentor. Dr. Yersin also had a ranch in Nha Trang. He raised horses to do his research in immunology. He also contributed to the Vietnamese rubber industry, as he is responsible for introducing the Brazilian rubber tree to Vietnam. Alexandre Yersin was also responsible for the first quinquina plantations in Vietnam, where quinine are produced.

Dr Yersin led a simple life in Nha Trang. He was beloved by the people in the region for his humility and care he gives to the people. He bought and old abandoned barrack and painted it white. It doubles as both his living quarters and his laboratory. The locals lovingly calls his home Lau Ong Nam (Home of Fifth Uncle) or Thap Nga (Ivory tower).

In 1940, Alexandre Yersin in poor health, returned to France for the last time. In 1941, he returned to his beloved home in Nha Trang where he remained and passed away in January 3, 1943 at the age of 80. In his will, he requested to be buried in Nha Trang, close to his beloved people. Every year, out of respect and gratitude to his contribution to this region, there are still many people coming to visit his grave in Nha Trang.

way of making Twins...


********************************************************************

Dan Horn has found the solution to birthing pains.

An internet courtship,
and subsequent wedding
has spawned a new & fun
way of making Twins...

See picture below here

********************************************************************

Speaking of birthing pains...Try this some time. Sent in by Alan Benoit.

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO paperwork and was burned out.
Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become an auto mechanic.
He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.
When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks and completed the
exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%.Fearing an error,
he called the instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I
wonder if there is an error in the grade."The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart
perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark."You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is
also worth 50% of the mark."After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did it
all through the muffler, which I've never seen done in my entire career."

********************************************************************

I like this one sent in by Tom Heckman.

********************************************************************

I would like to know how Willie Seibert came up with all these stats?

At Any Given Moment:

79,000,000 people are engaged in sex right now.

58,000,000 are kissing.

37,000,000 are relaxing after having sex.

1 lonely bugger is reading e-mails.

You hang in there sunshine!

********************************************************************

Thanks to Grouchy for sending this one in.

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today"

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me."

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water."

"Coming up," says the bartender.As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to buy you one, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water."

"Coming right up," the bartender says. As he gives her the drink, he says,"Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old woman replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue."

No Escape from Valentine's Day


source

http://www.longbeachrealestatehome.com/romance-in-long-beach-valentines-day

Maybe Poland doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day!" I had been thinking to myself. How wrong I was. I should have known that a predominantly Catholic country would embrace any holiday named after a saint. I've never really been a big fan of these holidays invented by the greeting card industry. And today is probably the granddaddy of them all.

The impromptu flea market I pass by every morning outside the subway station has been transformed. Usually, you can find fur coats, porcelain Bhudda statues, switchblade knives, lacey undergarments, and other necessities. This morning, all the vendors brought out teddy bears, chocolates, flowers, and giant heart-shaped suckers as big as your head. So much for avoiding all the manufactured junk that is supposed to signify your true love.

On Valentine's Day, it's nice to be single. Only women get bitter, sitting around watching sappy date movies, and eating Ben and Jerry's while commiserating with each other, right? I'll be in a state of bliss having beers with friends tonight. But I couldn't resist putting up this picture. Thanks for reading.

Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are
married... (If this does not make you laugh out loud, you have lost your sense
of humor.) The other night I was invited out for a night with the
'girls.' Itold my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!'
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easilyand
around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door,
the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed three times.
Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another
nine times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a
quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him.
(Even when totally smashed, three cuckoos plus nine cuckoos totals 12
cuckoos--MIDNIGHT!) The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in,
I told him 'MIDNIGHT.' He didn't seem pissed off in the least. Whew, I
got away with that one! Then he said 'We
need a new cuckoo clock.' When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last
night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, 'oh, sh**.' Cuckooed
four more times, cleared its throat,cuckooed another three times,
giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and
farted.

quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him.
(Even when totally smashed, three cuckoos plus nine cuckoos totals 12
cuckoos--MIDNIGHT!) The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in,
I told him 'MIDNIGHT.' He didn't seem pissed off in the least. Whew, I
got away with that one! Then he said 'We
need a new cuckoo clock.' When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last
night our clock cuckooed three times, then said, 'oh, sh**.' Cuckooed
four more times, cleared its throat,cuckooed another three times,
giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and
farted.

Can You FIND THE CANADIAN?


*********************************************

Dave Snavely sent this one in.

A favorite pastime in Florida - play Find the Canadian!

This week's challenge is especially difficult.

View the candid photograph and use logic to locate the clues that will let you find the Canadian!




Do you have the skill?

Do you have the ability?

Do you know enough about your Northern Cousins?

Can You FIND THE CANADIAN?

Taking notes is permissible, but try to limit your time to no more than 5 minutes!?

Good luck!



*********************************************

George Villanueva submitts this one for your judgement.




In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed his stupid ass against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same elephant.

Send me your scrematic Tony, I have an excellant computer in mind for modification.

I have fixed my computer... and NOW it works exactly the way I want it to!

Here's one from Willie Siebert that requires close inspection.

This is funny - - I don't care WHO you are!!!!

*********************************************

Here's Glen's contribution for the week.

STRESS

I am not sure exactly how it works, but this is amazingly accurate. Read the full description before looking at the picture.




The picture below has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester .

Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical . A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that , in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins.

The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing.

Look at the photograph very carefully and if you find more than one or two differences you may want to take a vacation.



No Need to Reply, I'll be on Vacation .

Prayer for Peace In New Year
As we are about to begin a new year I felt it expedient to suggest that we end this year that has seen violence in many areas of the world and begin the new year, 2008, asking Almighty God to inspire all the leaders of the world’s nations and religions to find ways to bring about a time of peace and brotherhood to all the children of God. I humbly submit the following prayer for your consideration to pray every day.

A mission of the Franciscans of the Annunciation

Almighty and Merciful God, our father, send your Most Holy Spirit down upon us gathered here and all the leaders of all Christian churches, opening our minds and hearts to the truthful teachings of your beloved son, Jesus Christ, our redeemer and savior.
Help us and all to work together in renewing and restoring the One Holly Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by you and your beloved son when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles that first Pentecost.
By the gifts of the Holy Spirit gather all who believe the truth of Jesus teachings together to work in bringing about unity and to practice respect and dignity for all God’s children throughout the entire world.
Inspire all the leaders of the world’s nations to find a means of bringing about an end to the atrocities and horrors of war and the genocide being committed often in your name O God. Through the Holy Spirit, inspire all the peoples of the world to become more mindful of the needs of others especially the poor, aged, sick and downcast of the world.
Open the minds of all people to be more tolerant of the differences and the diversity you created O God. Instill deep within our hearts your wisdom and truth, we ask this in the name of your beloved son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and Holy Spirit.

THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK


'Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams ..
If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'
~ Jack Handy
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
' ~Frank Sinatra
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.'
~ Henny Youngman
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.'
~ Stephen Wright
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!'
~ Br ian O'Rourke
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.'
~ Benjamin Franklin
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like a spaz.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer.
Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.'
~ Dave Barry
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To some, it's a six-pack, to me it's a Support Group.
Salvation in a can! ~Dave Howell
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers.
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.
Here's how it went: 'Well ya see, Norm, it's like this...
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo.
And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and
health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.
Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells.
But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.
********************************************************

I believe there is a good lesson here from Tony Moscicki.

THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:


1. Innovative
2. Preliminary
3. Proliferation
4. Cinnamon
THINGS THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Specificity
2. Anti-constitutionalistically
3. Passive-aggressive disorder
4. Transubstantiate
THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK:
1. Thanks, but I don't want to have sex.
2. Nope, no more booze for me!
3. Sorry, but you're not really my type.
4. Taco Bell? No thanks, I'm not hungry.
5 Good evening, officer. Isn't it lovely out tonight?
6. Oh, I couldn't! No one wants to hear me sing karaoke.
7. I'm not interested in fighting you.
8. Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance, I have no coordination. I'd hate to look like a fool!
9. Where is the nearest bathroom? I refuse to pee in this parking lot or on the side of the road.
10. I must be going home now, as I have to work in the morning

Merry Christmas folks!
I like to remind people that this is not a specifically Christian festival, nor need it be an orgy of materialism. This is an ancient and universal festival that celebrates the return of light, warmth and prosperity: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Solstice#Christmas.2C_Natalis_Domini_.284th_century_Rome.2C_11th_century_England.2C_Christian.29

"Một Hài Nhi Đã Sinh Ra Cho Chúng Ta"


"Một Hài Nhi Đã Sinh Ra Cho Chúng Ta"
§ Lm Giuse Nguyễn Hữu An

Bản in Đọc nhiều nhất

Lễ Giáng Sinh và Năm Mới 2008 đã gần đến. Nhân dịp này xin gởi đến bạn lời nguyện chúc chân thành: Nguyện xin Chúa Giêsu là Vua Hoà Bình ban xuống trên bạn và gia đình niềm vui và sự bình an, vi Ngài Emmanuel, Thiên Chúa ở cùng chúng ta. Khi có Chúa ở cùng, chắc chắn mọi ngày trong đời sống đều là thời gian của ân sủng và tình thương.

"Một Hài Nhi Đã Sinh Ra Cho Chúng Ta" (Is 9,1-6)

Trong các trình thuật ngôn sứ của Cựu Ước, Is 9,1-6 là lời sấm thích hợp rõ ràng đã khơi lên mầu nhiệm Giàng Sinh.


Vào năm 734-732, các đạo quân Assyrie đánh chiếm vùng rộng lớn của vương quốc Miền Bắc, đất nước rơi vào ách nô lệ lầm than (x. 2V 15,29). Vương quốc Giuđa Miền Nam bé nhỏ chỉ giữ được một phần độc lập nhờ chấp nhận quyền bảo hộ của vương quốc Assyrie. Dân chúng phải nếm nhục nhằn của cảnh tôi đòi (Is 8,23). Sự tang tóc và cảnh tôi mọi làm cho những miền này trở thành “miền tăm tối”. Gợi lại hình ảnh “một dân đi trong tối tăm” (Is 9,1), ngôn sứ nghĩ đến một đoàn người bị phát lưu đang tiến về miền đất lưu đày. Nhưng Thiên Chúa sẽ ra tay cứu thoát Dân Người, sẽ ban tặng “một quyền bính rộng lớn” và “một nền hoà bình vô tận trên ngai Đavit và vương quốc của Người” (Is 9,6). Niềm hy vọng của dân tộc về một vương quốc lý tưởng được thực hiện bởi một Hài Nhi “vì một trẻ thơ chào đời để cứu ta, một người con đã ban tặng cho ta. Người gánh vác quyền bính trên vai, danh hiệu của Người là Cố Vấn kỳ diệu, Thần Linh dũng mãnh, người cha muôn thửơ. Thủ Lãnh hoà bình.” (Is 9,5).

Lời sấm trên đây là một ám chỉ về việc sinh ra của một vị thừa kế ngai báu và sự thực hiện “dấu Emmanuel” đã được nói đến trong (Is 7,14). Đối với ngôn sứ, việc Đấng sinh ra này đã là một biểu lộ quan phòng về sự vững bền của lời hứa cho triều đại Đavit (x. 2Sm 16). Giữa những thảm cảnh và nổi khắc khoải của quốc gia, Isaia đã tuyên xưng niềm tin của mình vào việc xuất hiện của vị vua lý tưởng. Niềm tín thác của ngôn sứ vào lòng trung tín của Yahvê thật lớn lao. Trái với những kẻ chán chường, những kẻ hoài nghi hay những người chỉ muốn tìm sự trợ lực nơi những liên minh trần thế, vị ngôn sứ nhắc lại tính hiện thực trường tồn của sự lựa chọn: bất chấp những nổi thăng trầm hiện tại, niềm tin của Isaia vào Thiên Chúa Giao Ước đã làm cho ông dự đoán thấy sự viên mãn đáng mong ước của quốc gia.

Bài thơ Is 9,1-6 được linh hứng nên đã được đem vào dòng liên tục của truyền thống Kinh Thánh; nó chuẩn bị cho những mạc khải sau này và soi sáng cho niềm hy vọng của Dân Chúa về Đấng Thiên Sai. Bài thơ loan báo sự xuất hiện của Chúa Giêsu và vương quốc thiêng liêng của Người. (theo Joseph Ponthot “Un enfant nous est né”).

Phụng vụ ngày lễ Giáng sinh đã ưu tiên chọn lựa bài thơ Isaia nhằm hướng cộng đoàn về Tin mừng trọng đại: Hôm nay Đấng Cứu độ đã sinh ra cho anh em trong thành Vua Đavit, Người là Đấng Kitô Đức Chúa (Lc 2,11). Dấu chỉ để nhận ra Người là: Một trẻ sơ sinh bọc tả, nằm trong máng cỏ (Lc 2,12).

Từ nay,Thiên Chúa không còn đến với con người qua trung gian, giai đoạn ông chủ vườn nho không còn sai đầy tớ hay người giúp việc đi kêu mời, nhưng là sai người con duy nhất (Lc 19,10-15), giai đoạn Con Một Thiên Chúa được tặng ban cho nhân loại. Tình yêu Thiên Chúa không chỉ là lời hứa mà bằng chính nghĩa cử cao đẹp “Giêsu-Đấng Cứu Thế” nhập thể theo thánh ý Chúa Cha và vì yêu thương nhân loại.

Từ nay, lời hứa cứu độ đã được thực hiện nơi Một Hài Nhi đã sinh ra. Lời hứa ngọt ngào từ thưở địa đàng khi Nguyên Tổ sa ngã đánh rơi khỏi tầm tay trái táo hạnh phúc (St 3,15). Rồi trải qua hàng ngàn năm bằng sự loan báo của các Ngôn sứ, Thiên Chúa vẫn mãi lời hứa tình yêu cứu độ. Một Hài Nhi đã sinh ra là điểm nhấn vĩ đại đành dấu lịch sử Tình Yêu Thiên Chúa.

Đứng trước hang đá máng cỏ, nơi có Hài Nhi, Đức Mẹ, Thánh Giuse, các mục đồng, các bò lừa, chắc hẳn mỗi người luôn tự hỏi:

Tại sao Thiên Chúa lại chọn sinh ra bởi Maria, một thôn nữ vô danh tiểu tốt mà không chọn sinh ra bởi một công chúa thuộc hoàng tộc giàu sang phú quý? Tại sao lại chọn Giuse làm cha nuôi, một bác thợ mộc quá đỗi tầm thường ? Tại sao Chúa lại không chọn sinh ra nơi cung điện nhà vua lầu son gác tía mà lại chọn sinh ra nơi hang bò lừa ? Tại sao Chúa lại không chọn sinh ra ở thủ đô Giêrusalem huy hoàng tráng lệ mà lại chọn sinh ra ở làng Bêlem bé nhỏ ? Tại sao Thiên Chúa làm người và làm một trẻ thơ ?Và còn nhiều câu hỏi tại sao trước Một Hài Nhi đã sinh ra. Tìm cách giải đáp là tìm cách tiếp cận mầu nhiệm Nhập Thể, mầu nhiệm Giáng Sinh.

Thiên Chúa toàn năng, toàn trí, Thiên Chúa siêu việt muốn tự bộc lộ mình là một Thiên Chúa yếu ớt, bé nhỏ, mong manh, không quyền lực, không sức mạnh trong tay, cần được che chở, bảo vệ cũng như cần được chăm sóc dưỡng nuôi. Thiên Chúa làm người và làm một trẻ thơ chính là để yêu thương và hoà đồng, trở nên dễ gần gũi, ai cũng có thể gặp Ngài, ai cũng có thể tìm thấy niềm vui và bình an nơi Ngài.

Theo Thánh Kinh, biến cố lớn nhất đánh dấu lịch sử nhân loại là Thiên Chùa làm người vì tình yêu. Bởi đó: “Nếu bạn đi tìm những bài học luân lý, tìm cách đối nhân xử thế, tìm thầy dạy luân thường đạo nghĩa, tìm định giá cho đời sống nhân bản, bạn hãy đến học cùng Đức Khổng Tử. Nếu bạn tìm một hệ thống triết học vững chắc nhằm cải đổi thế giới hay một chuỗi suy tư có thứ tự lớp lang, mời bạn tìm học nơi triết gia Platon. Nếu bạn tìm con đường tu vĩ đại để thành chánh quả, xin giới thiệu bạn tìm đến Đức Phật.

Còn nơi thầy Giêsu Chí Ái, bạn sẽ tìm thấy một tình yêu chân chính, tình yêu của một Thiên Chúa hoá thân làm người, sống như con người để chia sẽ và thông cảm với con người, “tình yêu của người hy sinh tính mạng vì người mình yêu”. Tình yêu ấy là cuộc “cách mạng tình thương” đã canh tân thế giới Hy-La, đã biến đổi tận gốc rễ và lột xác những con người cũ, đã đem đến cho con người một thang giá trị mới, một xã hội mới. Tình yêu ấy làm triển nở, sung mãn và làm cho sống vĩnh hằng” (x. Nội san liên tu sĩ, số 24, trang 32).

Một Hài Nhi đã sinh ra vào một đêm đông giá rét trong hang bò lừa ngoài đồng hoang nghèo hèn, dưới mắt người đương thời không những bình thường mà còn tầm thường hơn những hài nhi khác. Nhưng sự chào đời của Hài Nhi này lại là một niềm vui cao cả, một sự kiện đặc biệt của lịch sử nhân loại, là sự “hoàn tất” Lời Hứa của Thiên Chúa, là trung tâm của nhiệm cuộc cứu độ của Thiên Chúa, là đỉnh cao và là chủ đích của Thánh Kinh.

Một Hài Nhi đã sinh ra mang một ý nghĩa hiện sinh sâu sắc: Thiên Chúa trở nên một trẻ thơ. Ngắm nhìn trẻ thơ Giêsu trong máng cỏ nghèo hèn, chúng ta nghĩ tới bao trẻ thơ sinh ra hôm nay đang chịu cảnh đói nghèo thiếu thốn. Thiếu thốn vật chất, thiếu thốn tình thương. Thiếu thốn nhà cửa, thiếu thốn một mái gia đình. Giá lạnh của rét mướt và giá lạnh bởi thiếu vòng tay ôm ấp vỗ về. Hài Nhi Giêsu ấm áp trong tình thương của cha mẹ, bàn tay nâng niu của Đức Mẹ, ánh mắt âu yếm của Thánh Giuse. Đó là bầu khí gia đình đầm ấm.

Gia đình là chiếc nôi êm ái vỗ về giấc ngũ trẻ thơ. Gia đình là lương thực bồi bổ, là thành trì bảo vệ tuổi thơ. Không có cảnh nghèo nào khốn cùng hơn cảnh trẻ thơ thiếu tình thương. Không có mái nhà nào rách nát hơn cảnh gia đình tan vỡ. Không có mùa đông nào lạnh giá hơn mùa đông của trái tim. Đức Thánh Cha Gioan Phaolô II đã gặp gỡ các gia đình – Năm Thánh với các Gia Đình diễn ra tại Roma ngày 14-15/10 năm 2000, trong khung cảnh Năm Toàn Xá. Chủ đề được Hội Đồng Giáo Hoàng Đặc Trách Gia Đình đưa ra trao đổi suy tư là “Con cái là mùa xuân của gia đình và xã hội”.

Vào buổi bình minh của ơn cứu độ, sự ra đời của một Hài Nhi – Đấng Cứu Độ được công bố như một tin mừng trọng đại (Lc 2,10-11). Niềm vui gắn liền với sự ra đời của Đấng Thiên Sai như vậy đã trở nên như nền tảng và sự viên mãn của niềm vui đi kèm theo sự ra đời của bất cứ trẻ em nào (x. Ga 16,21). Nếu đúng thực một em bé là niềm vui không những cho cha mẹ mà cũng là niềm vui cho Hội Thánh và cho toàn thể xã hội nữa, thì cũng đúng thực, vào thời đại chúng ta, tiếc thay, có nhiều trẻ em ở những miền khác nhau trên thế giới, đang phải chịu đau khổ và bị đày đoạ: các em chịu đói và khổ cực, phải chết vì bệnh tật và thiếu dinh dưỡng, các em ngã xuống vì là nạn nhân của cuộc chiến tranh, các em bị cha mẹ bỏ rơi và bị kết án sống màn trời chiếu đất, bị tước mất sự ấm cúng của gia đình, các em phải chịu nhiều hình thức bạo hành và áp bức do người lớn gây nên.

Vì thế, Đức Thánh Cha mời gọi các gia đình hãy hướng về Thánh Gia: gia đình Nazareth cũng chiếu toả một ánh sáng hy vọng trên thực tế của gia đình ngày nay. Tại Nazareth đã sinh ra mùa xuân đời sống nhân loại của Con Thiên Chúa, ngay lúc Người đã chịu thai bởi công trình của Chúa Thánh Thần trong cung lòng trinh khiết của Đức Maria. Giữa những bức tường của ngôi nhà Nazareth luôn mở rộng tiếp đón mọi người, tuổi thơ của Đức Giêsu đã diễn ra trong niềm vui như thế, mầu nhiệm này dạy cho mỗi gia đình hãy sinh sản và giáo dục con cái mình bằng cách cộng tác cách kỳ diệu vào công trình của Đấng Tạo Hoá và đem lại cho thế giới, nơi mỗi người con một nụ cười mới (x. phần dẫn nhập).

Một Hài Nhi đã sinh ra là Đấng Cứu Thế, là Tin mừng trọng đại cho nhân loại. Nguyện xin Hài Nhi Giêsu giúp chúng con được ơn đón nhận Tin mừng sự sống như một hồng ân luôn mới mẻ, niềm vui cử hành hồng ân ấy với lòng biết ơn trong suốt cả cuộc đời; xin cho chúng con lòng can đảm làm chứng cho Tin mừng sự sống cách bền bỉ và tích cực, để cùng với tất cả mọi người thiện chí xây dựng nền văn minh chân lý và tình thương, hầu chúc tụng và tôn vinh Thiên Chúa, Đấng Tạo Hoá hằng yêu thương sự sống. Amen (Lời cầu nguyện trong Thông điệp Tin mừng sự sống).
