It’s shocking to know that cyber bullying leads to suicide today. Last July, Jesi Slaughter (not her real name) was just one of the teenage that experienced cyber-bullying because of her video posted on Youtube. According to reports, Jesi’s contact information were published online that …

Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei have been charged
with two counts each of invasion of privacy.

Yesterday, I read from Washington Post about the high school student who jumped off the bridge to take his own life because of humiliation. According to report, Tyler Clementi committed suicide because of his s*x video broadcasted by a roommate over the Internet. His roommate Ravi started spreading gossips about Tyler and his activities via his Twitter.

Ravi tweeted on September 19 on his Twitter account :

 "Roommate asked for the room till midnight. I went into molly's room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay."

Three days later, Tyler updated his Facebook status with a message “Jumping off the gw bridge sorry” and his family confirmed the suicide.

According to the survey of Massachusetts Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2005,

“teens who identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, or who report having any same-sex sexual contact, are four times more likely to have attempted suicide in the past year than their straight classmates. teens who identify themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual, or who report having any same-sex sexual contact, are four times more likely to have attempted suicide in the past year than their straight classmates.” ABC News Report.

The following teens who also committed suicide because of getting bullied.

• Seth Walsh, a 13-year-old from Tehachapi, Calif., hanged himself from a tree in his backyard. Authorities say other teens had taunted the boy for being gay. He died Tuesday afternoon after nine days on life support.
• Asher Brown, 13, an eighth-grader in Houston, fatally shot himself in the head last week after enduring what his mother and stepfather said was constant harassment from four other students at his school for being gay.
• Billy (William) Lucas, 15, a student at Greensburg Community High School in Greensburg, Ind., was found dead after he reportedly hanged himself in a barn at his grandmother's home last Thursday evening. Friends said the torment that Lucas endured included taunts that questioned his sexual orientation.

After Google celebrated its 12th Birthday with a doodle. Today, Google tribute its doodle to the 50th Anniversary of The Flintstones.

The Flintstones is just one of the Hanna-Barbera Productions cartoons I used to watch during my grade school. Though Tom and Jerry is my favorite one.

Btw, here's more about The Flintstones from Wikipedia.


The Flintstones is an animated American television sitcom that ran from September 30, 1960 to April 1, 1966 on ABC. Produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, The Flintstones is about a working class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next door neighbor and best friend. It has since been re-released on both DVD and VHS.
Critics and fans alike agree that the show was an animated imitation of The Honeymooners with rock puns thrown in


Happy 50th Anniversary The Flintstones! Thank you Hanna-Barbera Productions for creating for such wonderful cartoons such as this. My childhood wouldn't be complete without such entertaining tv shows back then.

I first received my very first Google Adsense income last month and it tasted so well. Today is Google's 12th year of existence and from its inception and start of gaining popularity, it didn't fail us to cater new product or services.



For this year only, the following innovations are so far I remember that I've enjoyed.

1. Priority Inbox - one of the smartest way to sort out your email is to use this feature
2. Google Voice - Chat within a browser is not new anymore but, a voice call to mobile and land line phones within a browser is really new this year. Although competing with Skype's VOIP is something like rocket science exploration for Google.
3. Drag and drop with Gmail - I'm really enjoying this Gmail's feature as it lessen my time looking for the file i wanted to browse. Also, if you're using Chrome, you can also save it by dragging the link onto your desktop to download it.
4. Google's Instant Search - One thumbs up! The other one is for missing the accuracy of what we wanted look for.

What else? And oh by the way, the Adsense and Google Webmasters updated its features too. Actually, there are too many stuff added to other Google products. What I have here are just a few of them.

P.S. Google Wave waves goodbye but it was opened-source to developers for further contribution from open source community.

Perhaps the 500 million users overloaded the hardware facilities which resulted to Facebook DNS Error today. Facebook has never experience the similar error in the past four years of its existence as posted from their Notes wall.


This is the worst outage we’ve had in over four years, and we wanted to first of all apologize for it.

Facebook went to outage for about two and half hours on Thursday. According to Robert Johnson of Facebook, The key flaw that caused this outage to be so severe was an unfortunate handling of an error condition. An automated system for verifying configuration values ended up causing much more damage than it fixed.

To address the problem, the site temporarily turned off by Facebook to stop all transactions to the database in which "Facebook DNS Error" showed to the Facebook.

The way to stop the feedback cycle was quite painful - we had to stop all traffic to this database cluster, which meant turning off the site. Once the databases had recovered and the root cause had been fixed, we slowly allowed more people back onto the site.

---

What is DNS? DNS or Domain name system is a naming system designed to simplify and designate a human-friendly name of the address designated to a certain web address. For instance, Facebook.com here in my area is accessible at http://69.63.189.16/, instead of accessing it through that address or remembering that block of numbers each time I visit the site, I would simply type Facebook.com to my browser.

When does DNS Error happens? DNS error happens when for example Facebook which is supposedly accessible to a given address was made or accidentally made inaccessible. A simpler example is, I turned off my computer or it's busted which is supposedly accessible to a certain ip address mapped onto it.

Is it hot or cold to see Katy Perry's cleavage in a children TV show, particularly to the long time running Sesame Street?.

According to TMZ reports, parents quickly fired off angry letters, demanding it not to be broadcast and complained,  "They're gonna have to rename it cleavage avenue,"

Sesame Street representatives sided with the angry parents saying :

"'Sesame Street' has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. 'Sesame Street' has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of 'Sesame Street,' which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube." 

--As a fan of Sesame Street and also Katy Perry, I don't really find it offending after all.

Dear Bishop, May I ask you a favor? I’m going through a tough time, and experiencing health issues at the moment, could you please send good "vibrations" my way (don‘t know if it‘s the right word), or send your prayers/protection my way? You can use my picture to do so if you want. I’m asking this favor, because I really trust in you and I would really feel much more protected knowing you’ve been praying for me. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Jordan.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in praelio. Contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur. Tuque princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo divina virtute in infernum detrude. Amen.

(Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.)

Almighty God, heavenly Father, breathe Your Holy Spirit into the heart of this Your servant Jordan and inspire her with love for goodness and truth. May she, fearing only You, have no other fear; knowing Your compassion, be ever mindful of Your love; and serving You faithfully unto death, live eternally with You; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O divinum Cor Iesu, praesta, quaesumus, animabus purgantibus requiem aeternam, morituris gratiam finalem, peccatoribus veram paenitentiam, paganis fidei lucem, nobis nostrisque omnibus tuam benedictionem. Tibi ergo, Cor Iesu piissimum, omnes has animas commendimus et pro ipsis tibi offerimus omnia merita sacri Cordis tui. Amen.

(O Lord Jesus Christ, who have said: Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you; mercifully attend to our supplications, and grant us the gift of Your divine charity, that we may ever love You with our whole heart and with all our words and deeds, and may never cease from praising You. Amen.)

An Abbot product milk Similac Formula recall by company for allegedly containing beetles.

Popular brand milk Similac formula with  lot numbers 87932T20, 88117T26, 78208T2,88136T20,91433t20 and 90372T20 were the lot numbers of 5 million cans to be recalled as announced by Abbott Laboratories.

According to Abbott spokeswoman Melissa Brotz after small insects were discovered in the cans of milk that are produced at a manufacturing facility in Sturgis, Michigan it was decided to recall several products.

Here's the announcement of Abbot


Abbott is initiating a proactive, voluntary recall of certain Similac-brand, powder infant formulas in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some countries in the Caribbean.


Abbott is recalling these products following an internal quality review, which detected the remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in the product produced in one production area in a single manufacturing facility. The United States Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae, could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat as a result of small insect parts irritating the GI tract. If these symptoms persist for more than a few days, a physician should be consulted.


The recall of these powder infant formulas includes:
Certain Similac powder product lines offered in plastic containers.
Certain Similac powder product lines offered in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans.
To immediately find out if the product in your possession is included in this recall, parents and caregivers should visit www.similac.com/recall/lookup, and type in their lot number to determine if their product is affected, or call (800) 986-8850.

Youtube's role in making artists and discovering talents has been astounding ever since it went out to public. We wouldn't have Justin Bieber, Charice and other star who started from the said website.

Lucas Cruikshank was able to tapped Youtube's potential that gave him an opportunity to be one of Nickelodeon's latest project which feature his character creation named Fred Figglehorn. Fred Figglehorn, a fictional 6-year-old boy which he created has a dysfunctional home life and "anger management issues", which has been out on Nickelodeon.

The video below featured The Weezer, the band popularized the song Pink Triangle as guest from video which he promotes his album Party with Fred.

For Jackie Evancho's fans and who people like me who expected her to win may have felt disappointed. If you are looking for information regarding the America's Got Talent Winner, it's clearly been said from my title that the young opera singer Jackie didn't make it to million despite the media coverage and and becoming one of the Youtube sensation for the past few weeks.

Is this a repeat of what Susan Boyle have experienced in Britain's Got Talent? Obviously it is. Does America's Got Talent franchise what Britain did? Susan who didn't won somehow sold a million copies of her album despite of losing the competition. This is really disappointing. They are supposed to discover great talent but turns out that it's a failure. Lesson learned. Well, being young is not worth awarding a million because they will just buy chocolates, kidding.

Two things is really sure here, Jackie Evancho didn't win but eventually will be more popular than Michael Grimm. Jackie will still be love and watch over video sharing sites compare to Grimm.

Eddie Blackmon said. "It was wonderful to see two of the greatest MCs in the history [of hip-hop], Jay-Z and Eminem, come together and put this on at Yankee Stadium,"

For me, it wasn't just wonderful. It's The BEST! What's make best is its rarity. It's rare to see two different rapper coming from different rap group or clan working together. It's like Big Daddy working with Tupac or let say 50 Cent and Ja Rule or any rap rivals ever existed. Though Jay Z had a feud with Nas [check here] which they have already put into closure after his concert "I Declare War".For the love of music I don't have idea if the two ever have war against each other. As to Eminem, artists like Britney, Cristina Aguillera, N Sync, BackStreetBoys and other Pop artists hated him for being so mean and attacking them through his lyrics.

Music aside, Eminem and Jay Z are musically have different beats, sounds and of course lyrical contents. Eminem usually have angst with his music or sometimes funny while Jay Z, most of his works I've known him are collaborations. I like Jay Z's collaboration with Linkin Park Numb/Encore and other collaborations with R&B artists like Rihanna, Mariah and of course Beyonce.

Now about the concert, well, Jay-Z And Eminem just brought  tears to the fans before it totally ended, that is according to MTV News. I haven't watched or heard of their live performances but I will surely enjoy it though. I'll wait for it on Youtbe. The two high profile hip-hop don't need to wear Lady Gaga's meat dress for me to enjoy watching their performances.

Aside from Eminem and Jay Z's performance, artists Kanye West, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Dr. Dre, Drake and 50 Cent and G-Unit also performed.

Here are some of the fans' commentaries:

"Nicki Minaj! I love her! Beyoncé!" gushed attendee Mika Bennett, who was joined by friend Donte S. "I had tears in my eyes. It was crazy, crazy." 

"I definitely think this was a historical night. Eminem, Jay-Z came out. The Bronx came out. The Bronx needed this. They both did an amazing job and I want to give it up for both Jay-Z and Eminem." 

"I thought it was the most incredible show I've ever seen in my life out of anything," Alex Deiderian told MTV News. "It's like the rarest thing I've ever seen. I've never seen so many celebrities in one place."

This year's MTV Video Music Awards may not have a 'Kanye West' like controversy but full of surprises.

Lady Gaga won at least eight awards but what is really worth awarding for is her Meat Dress. Well, of all strange dresses Lady Gaga have ever worn this is the most eccentric of them all.

When asked by Ellen about her well, yummy outfit, she just said :

"Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth," 

What can we say, this is Lady Gaga. Very peculiar music artist I've ever known. With Lady Gaga's Meat Dress, who will ever tried to challenge her and what will be his/her outfit? Gaga's appearance last year also caught our attention. She performed like she was sucking blood. You may check Lady Gaga VMA Pictures

Remember the Hayley Williams? The Paramore lead singer who accidentally tweet her topless pic resulted to vast searches of Paramore photo leak.. The group is now at trending with their latest single The Only Exception.

The Exception is under the latest album of Paramore's Brand New Eyes.



You Are The Only Exception Lyrics

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I’d never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we’ve got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face

And I’ve always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I’m
Content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I’ve got a tight grip on reality
But I can’t
Let go of what’s in front of me here
I know you’re leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream

Ohh—

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I’m on my way to believing
Oh, And I’m on my way to believing

I'm actually so so busy but I really can't miss posting anything here since I have promised myself to keep my blog updated.

I first noticed rap battle video of FlipTop - Dello vs Target on Facebook and since then rap battles started coming out from different places on Youtube and as a fan of rap battles which I learned to appreciate from 8 Mile movie of Eminem, I can't resist having a post of these emerging rap battles.

The video below is the very first battle I've watched and it was entertaining but a type of entertainment that I wouldn't enjoy in the long run.

FlipTop - Dello vs Target Part 1



No Harm in Trying

Perhaps, with the help of Youtbe, my ka-barangay here in Cotabato City will be able to capture the attention of other rap battle initiators and communities. Wait, can they change their camera into more quality and capture clearer ?

September 11 incident is yet the most tragic event happened to United States and annually commemorated. Last Year, The Whitehouse led 911 Moment of Silence honoring the thousands of people died. This year, most people search collections September 11 quotes from former US President George Bush and other known people who have expressed their words towards the event.

Here are some of those September 11 Quotes. You may also check the E-book embedded below for more September 11 quotes.

"Terrorism against our nation will not stand.”
- George W. Bush – Remarks at Emma Booker Elementary School. Sarasota, Florida – delivered 11 September 2001, 9:30 A.M. EDT

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children. “
- President George W. Bush, November 11, 2001
September 11 Quotes

Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat.
- George W. Bush, President of the United States

“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “
- President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001
9 11 Quotes

“Today, we gather to be reassured that God hears the lamenting and bitter weeping of Mother America because so many of her children are no more. Let us now seek that assurance in prayer for the healing of our grief stricken hearts, for the souls and sacred memory of those who have been lost. Let us also pray for divine wisdom as our leaders consider the necessary actions for national security, wisdom of the grace of God that as we act, we not become the evil we deplore.”
- Rev. Nathan Baxter, Dean of Washington National Cathedral from http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/terrorism/july-dec01/remember_9-14.html


I don’t think contributors to the various September 11th funds thought that their donations would be caught up in so much red tape and become a source of frustration to families.
- Elizabeth McLaughlin, September 11 widow

Am I the only one who has noticed the same people who complained that we didn’t ‘connect the dots’ prior to 9-11, are now complaining that we connected the dots in Iraq?
- Rush Limbaugh

Perhaps the Google logo September 7 mystery has been answered when Google finally launched its latest product Google Instant, an instant search. It has been observed that Google's logo from its homepage changes when there are special events be it per country or birthday of inventors, anniversaries and etc. But the Google logo on September 7 gave curiousness to whole blogosphere and waited for further announcement from giant search. Turns out that Google has planned to launch a new feature dubbed as Google Instant.

What's new about Google Instant or what's all about this? Here's what Marissa Mayer, VP Search Products & User Experience says:

It’s a simple and straightforward idea—people can get results as they type their queries. Imagining the future of search, the idea of being able to search for partial queries or provide some interactive feedback while searching has come up more than a few times. Along the way, we’ve even built quite a few demos (notably, Amit Patel in 1999 and Nikhil Bhatla in 2003). Our search-as-you-type demos were thought-provoking—fun, fast and interactive—but fundamentally flawed. Why? Because you don’t really want search-as-you-type (no one wants search results for [bike h] in the process of searching for [bike helmets]). You really want search-before-you-type—that is, you want results for the most likely search given what you have already typed.

As a historian, I am curious about your thoughts on any vampire or supernatural involvement in major wars, from ancient to modern times, and if there is any involvement, specific examples. Are vampires and other supernatural beings conscious enough to involve themselves with world events, or do they mostly keep to themselves? - Abby Murray, Bath.

Demons have the ability to turn mankind from God and lead us toward destruction. Indeed, that is their ambition. Demons live in another realm, a nether region, and they require a portal to enter our realm. Many believe a portal can be opened using witchcraft and the occult.

Satan's kingdom is a lie. He wants to be like God, but in the first of the Ten Commandments, God told Moses: "I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods that are proposed to us in the kingdom of darkness." St Paul tells us to be on our guard: "The Spirit says clearly that some men will abandon their faith in later times. They will obey lying spirits and follow the teaching of demons" (1 Timothy 4: 1).  When the Israelites were about to come into the promised land, God gave them many commandments that had to do with the true worship that He desired, and the false worship that He hated. These same commandments hold true for us today.

In Satan's kingdom, the Devil wants everything that is in the Kingdom of God, but his kingdom is counterfeit. In the kingdom of darkness there is false worship, adoration and evil prayer. He offers us phoney happiness and peace. He holds out to us dark wisdom and knowledge. This is how he tempted Adam and Eve (Genesis 3: 5). Satan said: "No, God knows well that the moment you eat it [the forbidden fruit] your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad."

In his kingdom, Satan also offers us a health that is unto death, and a protection that is false. Just as we picture the angels of heaven singing and worshipping God, there is also a depraved sound which is the musical din of the kingdom of darkness.

The Lord says that we must be true to Him. We cannot serve two masters. Jesus said: "He who is not with Me is against Me" (Matthew 21: 30). We have to be firm in our resolve to follow only Jesus Christ.

Forbidden power is a form of magical power that produces effects apart from God and in a way that is beyond ordinary human means. It is to be avoided at all costs. These powers influence war just as demons frequently influence the leaders who take us to wars that lead to death and destruction. The rise of atheistic communism in the world is an obvious example, but there could be many such examples reaching back throughout history.

I have recently started reading into The Highgate Vampire and other supernatural and occult accounts from around Britain. Me and a friend intend to travel around the country to investigate the phenomenon. However, we are starting from scratch. Any advice you could give us for our trip would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Robin Galton.

The best advice I can give is to avoid involvement in the occult, and do not seek the malign supernatural. Leave well alone. The Devil can tempt us, but he cannot touch us directly unless we open the door and let him in. We should not fear Satan and his demonic horde, but neither should we look for him in the day to day happenings of our life. There are positive aspects of the supernatural such as healing, miracles and visions. Phenomena that once existed with regard to places on your proposed tour list probably no longer afflict those places today, and all you will be doing is visiting areas where something is believed to have once occurred in the past, and very well might have done so back then. But there is nothing to see today. 

This is certainly true of Highgate Cemetery where a demonic contamination was in evidence forty years ago, but no longer is there evidence of that manifestation at any of the places associated with the case which was finally closed in 1982. The neo-Gothic mansion was demolished back in the 1970s, and Highgate Cemetery has been regularly maintained and patrolled by the Friends of Highgate Cemetery (FoHC) since the graveyard was relinquished by the private owners, the London Cemetery Company, during the time of the terrifying supernatural occurrences. These reached back a great many years; certainly into  the nineteenth century. The eleven acre woodland graveyard, which belonged to the Great Northern London Cemetery, where a secondary contagion occurred that was linked to Highgate, was built on by property developers soon after the unearthly incidents took place. Little remains to visit.

When is Eid ul Fitr 2010, question we are also been swirling here in Philippines particularly Cotabato City. I prayed Tarawih (the night prayer during Ramadhan) earlier tonight and the Ustadz told us that since we from Cotabato City started our fasting night of August 11, we will start looking for the first appearance of the moon of Sawwal tomorrow night. If the moon will not be seen then we will pray for Eid ul Fitr on September 10.

Compare to other Arab countries like Saudi, Qatar, Libya and even USA, they all started their fasting day ahead of us. According to some relatives and friends in Saudi they are also waiting for announcement after sunset prayer (Maghrib) and they'll be looking for the appearance of the moon representing the month of Sawwal.

How bout in your place, when is Eid ul Fitr of 2010?

You may watch the video embedded below which shows what happen to Google logo when you mouse over it. Some called it anti-mouse Google logo or Google logo balls. September 7 Google logo was so different from other Google doodles.

Google is known for doing doodles for its logo or you may visit their archives of other logos. Perhaps one of my favorites was last years' series of Sesame Street Google doodle. The series starts with Cookie Monster as Google logo and ended up with the Sesame Street Ensemble . It was done by Google in recognition of the 40th anniversary of the children TV show.

Here's a news about Google logo September 7 from Associated Press.

Google's official statement says merely that "today's doodle is fast, fun and interactive, just the way we think search should be."

Adding to the intrigue, the company also tweeted on Twitter, "Boisterous doodle today. Maybe it's excited about the week ahead..." Continue reading here

There must be something we should expect in the next coming days. Google, Surprise us!

Thumbs up to Kanye West! How bout that Taylor? Are you going to sing the song Kanye have written for you in the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards 2010. [Check out here to know about the presenters, performers and other]

Here's what Kanye West says about the song he wrote for Taylor Swift:

I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her. ... She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She's just a lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone. ... We're both artist (sic) and the media and managers are trying to get between us. Everyone wants to capitalize off this (in) some way. I'm ready to get out of my own way. The ego is overdone... it's like hoodies.

Well, to Kanye let's wait what Taylor would say. Maybe she'll be writing back a song for you. I think the entertainment industry should really give a chance and stop hating him, after all he already asked for forgiveness via his Twitter which you can still access here. Kanye West, should Taylor Swift's fans forgive him?

I think Kanye West really grown up this time. How bout you? What do you think about his gesture towards Taylor Swift?

I just visited Kanye West's Twitter account today and noticed most of his tweets contains "forgive", "grown" and the most latest (as of this writing) I'm sorry Taylor. I was really surprised that it was all about Taylor Swift and people who still hate him after a year of what he did to her during the MTV Video Music Awards 2009.


Well, I decided to copy Kanye's entire page's tweets cause this is entirely historic. I feel like, the entire page should be saved for music industry's history.  I retained the links so that it could still be visited and read. 


I guess Kanye really grow up this time around. Not really a big fan of both artist but I think Taylor's fans should forgive the guy.

Hello Bishop. I would like to ask you if you consider Mormonism (LDS) or those that are Mormon to be Christian? I think that most Catholics consider Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy to be part of Christendom. But I don't think a lot of Christians consider Mormonism to be part of Christendom. - Ruben H.

Mormons are not Christians and Mormonism does not belong to the Body of Christ. Brother Terry Chateau states that "Mormonism and Freemasonry are so intimately interwoven and interrelated that the two can never be dissociated." Masonry is universally recognised throughout Christendom to be incompatible with Christianity. Mormonism, not least its Book of Moroni, is incompatible with Christian faith and doctrine.

"The Joseph Smith family was known and acknowledged to have been a close knitted one, where strong individual affection and loyalty existed between each of the members. It was a Masonic family which lived by and practiced the estimable and admirable tenets of Freemasonry. The father, Joseph Smith, Senior, was a documented member in upstate New York. He was raised to the degree of Master Mason on May 7, 1818 in Ontario Lodge No. 23 of Canandaigua, New York. An older son, Hyrum Smith, was a member of Mount Moriah Lodge No. 112, Palmyra New York. Numerous attempts have been made to prove that Joseph Smith and his family where depraved, degenerate and disreputable persons. These documented facts, namely, the Masonic membership of Joseph Smith, Sr., in the Lodge in Canandaigua, and Hyrum's membership in Palmyra Lodge, are of the most significant importance. Being the elite institution it was recognized by the public to be at that time, and their active membership in two of the Masonic lodges of the area is convincing evidence of the stature and high esteem the members of the family enjoyed in the eyes and opinions of those who knew them best. ... When the first Mormon pioneer company entered the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, under Brigham Young's leadership, a significant body of Masons entered with him. As of that date, the full Mormon Hierarchy was comprised of Masons. A review of the 143 men entering the valley at this time shows how wide-spread Masonry had become among the Mormons. Three of the group were black slaves, 16 were young men not yet of age, which leaves 124 who might possibly have been of the Craft. Of these there were 10 whose age was not known, who with 38 others are not known to have been Masons. This means that 76 of the possible 124 left, or 61%, were documented members of the Craft. Brigham Young, knowing both Mormonism and Freemasonry in depth, fully realized that nothing constructive or positive could result from a series of continuing exchanges over the years, judiciously instituted the inflexible policy that the Mormon Church had nothing to say publicly regarding Freemasonry. This position has been steadfastly and discretely adhered to for almost a century and a half, with very few exceptions. There is ample evidence that Brigham Young took his Masonry seriously and gave studious attention to its meaning and significance. This is evidenced in the many photos and paintings showing Brigham Young wearing his Masonic pins. It should be acknowledged that the vast majority of the Mormon Masons took their Masonic obligations most seriously and deeply to heart. Great numbers were devoted and dedicated Masons who truly loved the Order. Freemasonry among Mormons was not merely a fraternity nor a shallow and trivial fraternal experience. It was what it really is - a genuine brotherhood. Their lodge meetings were serious convocations entirely devoid of jovial lightheartedness and the strenuous, physical horseplay which characterized most frontier lodges. Their time and attention were fully occupied with the heavy demands of degree work."

Mormonism and Freemasonry

"Baptist leaders have referred to Freemasonry as “an ungodly brotherhood of satanic darkness”; “there is an inherent incompatibility between Masonry and the Christian faith”; “there is a great danger that the Christian Mason may find himself compromising his allegiance to Jesus.” (The Baptist Union of Scotland, 1965).

Lutherans say “Masonry amounts to idolatry.” (Missouri Synod, 1959).

Presbyterians: “Masonry is a religious institution and as such is definitely anti-Christian.” (General Assembly, Rochester, 1942).

Methodists: “There is a great danger that the Christian who becomes a Freemason will find himself compromising his Christian beliefs. Methodists should not become Masons.” (General Assembly, London, 1985).

The Church of England: “A number of very fundamental reasons to question the compatibility of Freemasonry with Christianity.” (General Synod, London, 1987 ~ where several members of the committee were Masons!)

Russian Orthodox Church: “Any Orthodox who joins Masonry loses all the right and privileges of his membership in the Church.” (Strange Altars, Acker, page 60).

Roman Catholic Archbishop Emanuel Milingo: “We are now in the last days of Satan’s reign and he is working overtime through his agents to complete the takeover of the world. His agents are nothing less than the Freemasons who have permeated to the very heart of Christ’s Church. It is the task of Freemasons to lull Christians, especially priests, into believing that the Devil and his demons do not exist. Satan plays with priests like toys when they do not believe in him. After the last war bring young Freemasons were placed in seminaries around the world. These agents of Satan were waiting for their time to come. … The Freemason antichrists became priests for this purpose. They aim to take religious power throughout the world, just as they have taken economic and political power.” (Powers of Darkness, Powers of Light, Cornwell, 1991).

Naruto Shippuden, one of the popular anime series of today's generation is set to release its latest movie. According to Wikipedia, Naruto Shippuden Movie 4 entitled The Lost Tower was already released July 31,2010 but not I guess it's not really actual.

It gets me so excited to watch the movie, based from the Naruto Shippuden movie 4, The Lost Tower Trailer, it's really intriguing to learn as to why Naruto don't have any idea why he didn't know that Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage was his father.Well, let's just wait and see. To all Naruto fans, what can you say?

Here's the Plot [Source: Wikipedia]

Assigned on a mission to capture Mukade, a missing-nin, Naruto Uzumaki sets out for the once glorious historic ruins of Rouran (楼蘭), where he pursues and corners the rogue ninja. Mukade's goal is revealed to be a dormant leyline within the ruins; he unleashes the power of the leyline, causing a light to envelop Naruto, sending him twenty years into the past. When Naruto awakens, he comes into contact with his father (the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze). One trailer has shown that during this period, Minato was on a team with Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi, seeking to intervene in the conflicts enveloping Roland, with its princess Sarah in the middle of the crisis. A young Kakashi Hatake is tagging along with them. In the trailer, Naruto is seen wielding a chakra infused kunai-like blade and fighting unknown mechanical figures. Minato is also seen interfering in the fight, aiding Naruto. He asks Naruto if he is a Konoha shinobi.

There are hundred of ways to make money online and yet about 3 years ago only pay per click (PPC) advertisement and Google Adsense are familiar to me. Last year I actually on and off updating this blog researching and quitting again just a typical guy who wants to make money online in an instant without digging much deeper as recommended by people who are now earning regularly.


Fortunately this year, I was given by my colleague Ark a keyword to search engine optimized and explore more about it. From searching the volume of search pertaining to the keyword and its results, linking here and there, it gave me a full-blown information about SEO which I wish I learned sooner. The SEO technique taught to me by Ark are also techniques he learned from two popular two bloggers who created the E-book Guerilla Blogging namely Zigfred Diaz and Marhgil Macuha. It was like a spoon feed. Really appreciate it Ark! Diaz and Macuha are just two of the brilliant bloggers from Philippines who shared their ideas without hesitation. Guess they are acknowledged everyday with the e-book they shared to blogger like me who are dying to learn how to increase their earnings from Adsense. 


I was actually frustrated or not really looking forward to earn money online but as soon as my site traffic rises from 20 unique visitors to 400 plus or at most 1000 plus, my typical Adsense income per day of less than a dollar also rises up from $1 up to $5 dollar at most (If i get lucky or depending on page CTR and eCPM rate). All done by SEO. See traffic stats below.

I must admit, I am not really good in writing and most of my posts are grammatically wrong but I also strive to correct them as soon as I've noticed it. But why I'm still going on? Well, as long as I remember Gumer Liston or one of the blogs I visited told about a story of quality against quantity contents. You may also check Melardenio's entry What a non-blogger missed out.It might inspire you to blog without expecting money.

The story's setup is in a classroom, the teacher divide the class into two wherein the half will make a quality made basket while the other group will make as many baskets as they can. Noticeably, the group that was assigned to make a quality basket was really making baskets in a slow production while the other group already made a lot of basket. The group with quantity noticed that they need to improvise what they are doing just for exploration and add some life into it. And they did. Note: I used basket because I really can't remember the real item they were supposed to do.

At the end of the day, when your blog is still not earning well (like mine), just go on with blogging. I may not be earning like John Chow and any other blogger who were able to receive monthly but at least with blogging I'll be able to learn new stuff everyday and keeping me aware with global trends.

And by the way, here's the screenshot of Google Adsense's payment details.

The first payment I received was just accumulated way back April 2007 but my earnings started to grew March of this year. See image below.

Guess, I have wrote too much and yet not constructively written. Anyway, hope I have given an inspiration to those who wants to earn money online. Again, I'm really thankful to the blogging community who have inspired and helped me directly or indirectly to continue and go on with blogging. Most of them are all in my Blogroll.

P.S. I noticed that the Ark's My First Taste of Google Juice, How Sweet It Is was also August. I think August will be my favorite month now since it's also my son's birth month.
