Didn’t attend my class…
Waaaaaaa!!!
I hate people pretending to be professionals or expert on some stuff but actually are not!!!
Well, I have a policy that If I know I’m gonna be late for class, I won’t attend. My time was just enough. I just had to print some stuff then leave and go to class. But the people at the cafe don’t know how to do their job!
It just sucks!
And, yeah, I got late. Whatever they did made me 20mins late for class – that would be equivalent to an absent!
I hate it!
Sick joke: Oprah Winfrey, dead
Check this link…
It’s a joke right?! From one of those people who’s got nothing in their lives – one of those death hoaxes. A lot of ‘em’s been ’round the internet these days. They can just get old sometimes.
So far, I’ve got no confirmation yet. Some people who added comments made screenshots of the new being posted at BBC. I tried their link in the screenshot but the page seemed like a made-up one. I tried to search the BBC website but found none similar. Hollywire.com dismissed it as just some rumor.
Well, anyway, it doesn’t sound so true. Oprah’s just one of those poor victims of death hoaxes. If she’s actually dead, the world would have known, like, immediately. She’s one big person and the world knows her.
Too bad for her.
Here are some pages I found using GoogleSearch:
Sean Kingston – Change
My very first MV. It’s sorta slideshow. Bear with me. It’s amateurish, yeah.
The song ain’t mine it’s Sean Kingston’s. The pictures were found using Google Search.
Maximum Ride Trailer
Not really an actual trailer from the movie ’cause I don’t think they’ve made enough. I’m thinkin’ that the movie’s gonna be big ’cause it’s takin’ them a lot of time.
Well, anyway… Here’s a fan-made…
It’s awesome!
I’d Give My Life
“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”1
In the October 2000 issue of Decision magazine, an anonymous young man wrote in with the story of how he became a follower of Jesus. Years before he was caught in a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol abuse. His older brother, Terry, had once participated in this lifestyle, too, but Terry had recently become a Christian and that brought about an immediate change in his lifestyle. He enthusiastically shared his faith with anyone he came across.
A few months after Terry’s conversion, the supermarket where he worked was robbed. One of the robbers shot Terry in the back. As Terry hung between life and death in the hospital, his younger brother finally turned to God and began to pray. He finally gave his life to Christ. He was able to tell Terry of his decision just a few days before Terry’s death.
A few months later, Terry’s brother got a job at the same supermarket where Terry had been shot. He began telling a colleague about his faith in Christ. This colleague told him that his older brother, Terry, had done the same thing. Then he added, “Your brother said that he would give his life if you could come to know the Lord Jesus.”

Scientists take record look at black hole
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UPI) — U.S. astronomers say they’ve taken the closest look ever at the giant black hole in the center of our galaxy and at some of the highest resolution ever made.
By combining telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona and California, the scientists said they were able to detect structure at a tiny angular scale of 37 micro-arcseconds — the equivalent of a baseball seen on the surface of the moon, 240,000 miles distant.
“This technique gives us an unmatched view of the region near the Milky Way’s central black hole,” said Sheperd Doeleman, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology astronomer and first author of the study.
“No one has seen such a fine-grained view of the galactic center before,” said co-author Jonathan Weintroub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “We’ve observed nearly to the scale of the black hole event horizon — the region inside of which nothing, including light, can ever escape.”
The research is reported in the journal Nature.

Milk may help bacteria survive antibiotics
DUBLIN, Ireland (UPI) — Portuguese scientists say they’ve learned milk may help protect potentially dangerous bacteria from being killed by antibiotics used to treat animals.
The researchers from Portugal’s Technical University of Lisbon said bacteria sometimes form structures called biofilms that protect them against antibiotics and the body’s natural defenses. Now the scientists have discovered one of the most important micro-organisms that causes mastitis in cows and sheep, called staphylococcus, can evade the animal’s defenses by forming such biofilms.
Mastitis is an infection of the udder in cattle and sheep.
The researchers, led by Manuela Oliveira of the university’s veterinary medicine department, found that when the staphylococci produce a biofilm, that structure protects them against host defenses and antibiotic treatment, allowing the bacteria to persist in the udder.
The researchers said they also determined low concentrations of antibiotics such as penicillin, gentamicin and sulphamethoxazole, combined with trimethoprim, were less effective against staphylococcus when compared with the same experiment performed in the absence of milk.
The research was presented Monday at Dublin, Ireland’s Trinity College during the fall meeting of the Society for General Microbiology.

World’s first cloned dog becomes a father
SEOUL (UPI) — South Korean scientists say Snuppy, the world’s first cloned dog, has become a father after the world’s first successful breeding of cloned canines.
Seoul National University officials said the Afghan hound impregnated two cloned dogs of the same breed through artificial insemination. The scientists said the whelping marks the first time that puppies have been born from cloned parents. One of the 10 puppies born May 14-18 died, but nine remain healthy.
“This shows the reproductive ability of a cloned dog,” said Professor Lee Byung-chun, whose team created Snuppy in 2005 and also produced the world’s first cloned wolves. This year he has cloned dogs capable of sniffing out human cancers.
The breeding of cloned dogs “opens the way for cloning sniffer dogs and seeing-eye guide dogs, which usually have to be sterilized for training and lose the ability to reproduce,” Lee said.

A Compulsive Need to Rescue
“For each one shall bear his own *load.”1
A Daily Encounter reader writes, “My friend Jane (name changed) is broken-hearted. Her boyfriend of four years broke up with her and the guy still keeps in touch with her. She still loves him so much. Jane is now so much pained especially that the guy told her he impregnated his current girlfriend. She feels very much responsible for him. Until now she still feels responsible for him and blames herself for letting him go astray and of not being strong enough for him. How can I help her get out of being in that state?”
Here is another example of co-dependency which is when someone takes on the responsibility for someone else. This of course isn’t love. It’s need. That is, one needs to feel needed (rescue others) in order to feel okay about themselves. One would ask, “How in the world could Jane be responsible for a man making another woman pregnant?” Boggles the mind! But that’s not the way the codependent sees it. They don’t see it as a Messiah complex.
The codependent’s problem is just as real as the problem of the one they are seeking to rescue. As long as they are doing this, they don’t have to face their own issues. This is like seeing the holes in the other person’s head but unable to see the matching bumps in their own head!
Among other things, the codependent is always seeking to short circuit the natural consequences of somebody else’s negative behavior. Only as the codependent gets out of the way and allows the problem person to face the consequences of his/her self-destructive behavior, does this person have a chance of facing reality and getting the help they need to get well. There’s no guarantee that they will, but as long as we keep rescuing them, that’s almost a guarantee that they won’t get well.
So for all we rescuers (of whom I was the “chief of sinners”), we need to face and accept our problem and get the help we need to get well. Codependency can look like it is Christian, but it isn’t. It is also stopping people from becoming dependent on God by keeping them dependent on us. It’s a sickness from which we need healing and deliverance.
