of former philippines president corazon aquino, people power icon, passes away

Former President Corazon Aquino, people power icon, passes away: Former Philippine President Corazon Aquino, icon of people power in the Philippines and around the world, passed away at 3:18 a.m. Saturday, her son, Senator Benigno Aquino III, said. The official cause of death was cardiorespiratory arrest.
The 76-year-old Aquino was diagnosed with colon cancer in March of last year and was treated with chemotherapy. Last May, she underwent surgery to remove parts of her colon and was brought to the Makati Medical Center in June due to loss of appetite. She never left the hospital, as her declining condition sparked a wave of emotion in the country and prompted the widespread appearance of yellow ribbons - on trees, car antennas, and even the Web.
Mrs. Aquino was named Times Magazine Woman of the Year in 1986.

of mysterious ufo crashes into ottawa river

Mysterious UFO Crashes Into the Ottawa River Monday Night: Dozens of residents of Canada’s capital city, Ottawa Ontario and nearby Gatineau, Que., witnessed an object streak across the night sky at about 10pm local time Monday night and crash into the Ottawa River with a “thunderous boom.”
The object had lights on it and appeared to change course several times, like a small plane struggling to stay airborn, before it hit the water.

It was such a sight that emergency rescue and search crews in the area sprung into action and began searching the area using sophisticated sonars and underwater cameras to try and figure out what the object was. Even helicopters from the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) in nearby Trenton took part. On Tuesday at 1:30pm, they discovered an object about 9 meters (30 feet) below the surface, but because of currents and nearby rapids, sending divers down would be extremely dangerous since they would be instantly swept away by the currents.

The mystery? Authorities and residents have no idea what this object laying at the bottom of the river is. There are no planes missing from the area, no other aircraft like helicopters, etc. are missing. There is no derbis, no oil slick and even space agencies that were contacted said nothing disappeared from orbit.

of the making of madonna's mighty muscles

New arms race - Sinew by sinew, the making of Madge's mighty muscles: Martin MacDonald, a body composition specialist at Loughborough University, explains Madonna's muscles.

Madonna's muscles are not particularly oversized compared with, say, an Olympic athlete, but what is unusual is how toned and well-defined they are. I work a lot with body builders and they actually look very similar to this - like very, very lean athletes.

When people talk about toning muscles, what they mean is reducing the body's fat level - which is what Madonna has done.

If she wanted to perform athletically, there would be a problem, as she has slight malnourishment issues. But body builders just have to have muscles that show, and a body builder is exactly what Madonna is.

of eminem slams mariah carey, nick cannon in new dis rrack, 'the warning' (full lyrics)

Eminem Slams Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon In New Dis Track, 'The Warning': Eminem sings about Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon in his new track "The Warning". The NSFW lyrics below.
The battle pitting Eminem against Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon — which began with Em's "Bagpipes From Baghdad" and continued with Carey's "Obsessed" — took another turn Thursday night (July 30), when Slim Shady dropped a new dis track against Mariah called "The Warning."
The lyrics goes like this
Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me
Now I’m pissed off
Sit back and relax homey, kick back and relax, grab a six pack while I kick facts
Yeah Dre’s sick track, perfect way to get back
Wanna hear something wick wack?
I got the exact same tat that’s on Nick’s back
I’m obsessed now
Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee
Wow Mariah, I didn’t expect her to go balls out
Bitch, shut the f#ck up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house when you was wild n out before Nick
When you was on my di#k and give you somethin to smile about
How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count
Better shut your lying mouth if you don’t want Nick finding out
You probably think cuz it’s been so long if i had something on you I woulda did it by now
On the contrary, Mary Poppins, I’m mixing our studio session down and sending it to mastering to make it loud
Enough dirt on you to murder you
This is what the f#ck I do
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?

Hong Kong reports new H3N2 flu variant: Hong Kong has found a new variant of the H3N2 seasonal influenza virus, a direct descendant of the Brisbane strain.
Hong Kong has found a new variant of the H3N2 seasonal influenza virus, the spokesman for the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) said on Wednesday, urging high-risk groups to get influenza vaccinations. The new variant is direct descendent of the Brisbane strain which has been the prevalent circulating strain of H3N2 in the past year in Hong Kong, CHP Controller Dr Thomas Tsang said.

However, it has some genetic changes distinguishing it from the old Brisbane strain. Overseas health authorities, including those in Canada, Britain and Australia, have also found the new variant. There is no evidence showing that the H3 variant circulating in Hong Kong is more severe and resistant to oseltamivir (Tamiflu).

of 7-year-old steals car to avoid church

Utah 7-Year-Old Steals Car To Avoid Church: The Weber County Sheriff's Office has released a video of a 7-year-old boy who took the family car and led police on a low-speed chase...just to avoid going to church. The boy told deputies it was just too hot to go to church, so he went for a joyride. See the video below.
Dispatchers received reports of a child driving recklessly on Sunday morning. Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson says one witness said the boy drove through a stop sign.

Anderson says two deputies caught up with the boy and tried unsuccessfully to stop the Dodge Intrepid in an area about 45 miles north of Salt Lake City. The car reached 40 mph before the boy stopped in a driveway and ran inside a home.

Anderson says when the boy's father later confronted him, the boy said he didn't want to go to church. The boy is too young to prosecute and no citations were issued, although police did urge the father to make his car keys more inaccessible to children.

of bikini-wearing carjacker arrested!

Bikini Bandit Caught!: Morgan Haley, 24, has been arrested for carjacking. Haley committed the crime wearing only a bikini.
Police in Mississippi say a woman was carjacked by a bikini-clad suspect, who they say later tried to rob an RV dealership. Southaven Police Chief Tom Long said the 24-year-old suspect approached another woman in her driveway and demanded the car on Thursday. The woman gave up the car without a fight, asking only for time to remove her young children from inside.

Long said the suspect then drove the car to the business, where she told employees she had a gun and demanded money. The employees did not believe the claim and restrained her until officers arrived.

Police said the suspect appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. She was charged with carjacking and assault.

'Al-Qaeda' blog claims bombing as Indonesia hotels reopen: "Al-Qaeda Organisation Indonesia" blog has claimed responsiblity for the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton bomb attack in Jakarta. The message in Indonesian and Arabic is signed by "Abu Muawwidz Nur Din bin Muhammad Top". See snapshot of the blog below.

Two luxury hotels struck by suicide bombers less than two weeks ago re-opened Wednesday in Jakarta, as an Internet blog from "Al-Qaeda Organisation Indonesia" claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Police said they could not tell if the claim was authentic but it was being investigated as part of the massive probe into the July 17 twin suicide blasts, which killed seven people including six foreigners.

The message in Indonesian and Arabic is signed by "Abu Muawwidz Nur Din bin Muhammad Top" and praises two "holy warrior brothers" who blew themselves up at the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in central Jakarta.

The statement said the attacks were a "martyrdom operation for jihad" intended as "retribution for the deeds of America and its agents against our Muslim brothers and holy warriors in all corners of the world".

BMW will end their involvement in Formula One racing at the end of the current season, it was announced on Wednesday. The move is part of what the German car maker described as a ‘landmark’ decision to restructure its motorsport activities.

The news came at a press conference held at the company’s German headquarters in Munich, attended by BMW Sauber team principal Mario Theissen, along with Dr. Norbert Reithofer, the chairman of the BMW board, and Dr. Klaus Draeger, the director for development.

BMW became Formula One entrants in 2006 after taking over the Swiss Sauber team. The company said the decision to withdraw stems from a desire to dedicate more resources to developing new, sustainable road car technologies.

Twitter is kind of like a giant office, in a way.

Of course, like with many of such workplace situations, it’s possible that your crush doesn’t know you exist. So how do you get the attention of a woman on Twitter?

of tour de france 2009 results. alberto contador champion

Lance Armstrong 'not bad for an old fart': Alberto Contador came in first, Andy Schleck cam in second and seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong finished third.
To finish on the Tour podium at nearly 38 years-old is a formidable achievement, especially after such a long time off the bike, yet Armstrong had looked so untouchable during his seven-year reign on the race the result was relatively disappointing.

Armstrong even won over French sports daily L'Equipe, who proclaimed "Chapeau Le Texan", after the Texan finished third overall.

Armstrong acknowledged winner Alberto Contador was the best rider in this Tour, even though life in the Astana team may not have been easy for two exceptional athletes with strong characters and conflicting ambitions.
Armstrong told reporters after the penultimate stage on the Mont Ventoux,
I am happy and overall damned pleased how it turned out. Alberto was far superior than any riders and Andy (Schleck) rode a very consistent and smart race. For an old fart coming in here and getting on the podium with these young guys, was not so bad.

of twelve bombs found aboard philippine ferry

Twelve bombs found aboard Philippine ferry
Twelve bombs were found hidden inside a bathroom in a ferry in the central Philippines, raising fears of another bombing campaign by suspected Islamic militants, the coast guard said Sunday.

The improvised explosive devices, made of bottles with gunpowder, blasting caps, shrapnel and wiring, were found hidden in a sack in the bathroom of the MV Blue Water Princess on Saturday just as it was about to depart the city of Lucena for the central island of Masbate.

Explosive experts and bomb-sniffing dogs were immediately dispatched to check the vessel for other bombs, said coast guard spokesman Commander Armand Balilo.

It was not clear if the bombs were intended to go off inside the ferry or were to be used elsewhere, said Balilo who also declined to identify any suspects.

Torres on target as Liverpool beat Singapore: Liverpool crushed Singapore 5-0. Goals came from Fernando Torres, Andriy Voronin, Albert Riera, Krisztian Nemeth and Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool crushed Singapore 5-0 on Sunday for their first win in four pre-season games with Fernando Torres and Andriy Voronin among the scorers.

Albert Riera and promising young Hungarian striker Krisztian Nemeth also found the back of the net in the morale-boosting win.

The Reds needed a victory to ramp up their preparations for the new season where they will start as one of the favourites to clinch their first title in 20 years after a credible second behind Manchester United in the last campaign.

To the disappointment of fans here, Steven Gerrard missed the match after remaining in England following his acquittal over an alleged assault but Torres played 30 minutes in a return from his summer break.

And in a potentially significant move, Real Madrid target Xabi Alonso came on with 13 minutes remaining.
At the end of the match, Fernando Torres exchanged jerseys with Daniel Bennett and Xabi Alonso with Mustafic Fahrudin. And caught by the camera, a gal in the crowd who held up a "Torres Nanny For Hire" sign.

of brad pitt doesn't believe in god and ... has no time for sex?

Brad Pitt doesn't believe in God and ... has no time for sex?: Brad Pitt gave a revealing interview to Bild, a German magazine, in which he revealed that he didn't believe in God. Link to the interview below.


Brad Pitt surrounded by his children (l. to r.): Maddox (7, with fur hat), Pax (5, with scarf), Shiloh (3, blocked) and Zahara (4, with hood). In his arms is one of the twins Knox (1). Angelina is behind Brad with the other twin Vivien (1).
The reporter first asked if he believed in God.

"No, no, no!" Pitt said.

Next he asked if the actor's soul was spiritual, and Pitt replied, "No, no, no! I'm probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it."

The Bild reporter also asked Pitt when he found time to make love.

Brad looked puzzled and joked, "What?"

What's more upsetting? That Brad Pitt doesn't believe in God or that he has no time to make love?

Don't worry. In another query, Pitt was asked if he and Angelina Jolie "fly off somewhere" to have private time.

"That's a trade secret," he replied.

Former World Champion Boxer Murdered in Atlanta: Former boxing champion and U.S. Olympian Vernon Forrest was shot and killed in an attempted carjacking in Northwest Atlanta. He was 38 years old.
Lt. Keith Meadows with the Atlanta police department told WSB Radio, Forrest was putting air in the tires of his Jaguar around 11 p.m. Saturday at a gas station on White Hall St. at McDaniel Blvd. Investigators said at least two men jumped out of a red Chevrolet Monte Carlo and tried to steal Forrest's car. The boxer had a gun and started running after the suspects.

"The victim and suspect became involved in a brief foot chase," Lt. Meadows said. "At some point, gunfire was exchanged between the two of them. The victim was shot at least once in the head."

Lt. Meadows said Forrest was shot 7 or 8 times by two semi-automatic weapons. Investigators said they are talking to several witness.

"At this point we have a general description of at least two black males driving a red Monte Carlo." Lt. Meadows said.

Police don't think the suspects knew Forrest was a professional boxer. His girlfriend's young son was in the car at the time of the shooting. Family members are flying in from Texas to pick up the child, Lt. Meadows said.

Harry Patch, Britain's last survivor of the trenches of World War I, was a reluctant soldier who became a powerful eyewitness to the horror of war, and a symbol of a lost generation.

Patch, who died Saturday at 111, was wounded in 1917 in the Battle of Passchendaele, which he remembered as "mud, mud and more mud mixed together with blood."

Patch was one of the last living links to "the war to end all wars," which killed about 20 million people in years of fighting between the Allied Powers _ including Britain, France and the United States _ and Germany and its allies. The Ministry of Defense said he was the last soldier of any nationality to have fought in the brutal trench warfare that has become the enduring image of the conflict.

There are no French or German veterans of the war left alive. The last known U.S. veteran is Frank Buckles of Charles Town, West Virginia, 108, who drove ambulances in France for the U.S. Army.

Born in southwest England in 1898, Patch was a teenage apprentice plumber when he was called up for military service in 1916.

of the hovering balloon

Hovering Balloon
Early morning in cottage in northern Wisconsin. I couldn't believe how eerie this was ...walking across the room at about 6 a.m. I noticed this thing out of the corner of my eye. It was Iris's balloon--a balloon my niece had left behind after returning to NH the day before with my sister and her family. It was perfectly still. The balloon was floating, independently. A beautiful, amazing sight.

2009/07/03 SQ117 at KLIA Gate 3: See the video of the rude SIA PPS passenger shouting at the ground crew at KLIA after SQ117 flight was delayed due to engine problems.

Part of what the crazy lady was shouting,
You don't look after your PPS passengers. Are you crazy!...You realise this might cost you your job. Now get your PPS passengers on the 9.45 flight!
SQ117 Flights delayed due to engine trouble. Eventually, the plane was canceled, the storm's profane outburst.
Sorry for the staff of airlines,But there were many outbursts and jokes, so it was superb entertainment.

of russian teen has britney's face tattooed on her breasts before concert

Russian teen has Britney's face tattooed on her breasts before concert: Irina Savina had a huge portrait of Britney Spears tattooed on her breasts before The Circus show in Moscow.


Irina Savina and her Britney Spears tattoo
A teenage Russian girl was so excited about finally seeing Britney Spears live at a concert in Moscow, that she had a huge portrait of the pop princess tattooed on her breasts.

Britney brought her The Circus show to Russia this summer with two concerts in the two major cities of St. Petersburg and Moscow. The singer did her St. Petersburg show on Sunday in front of 15,000 spectators, and her Moscow concert is scheduled for Monday.

Irina Savina, 18, came all the way from the Urals city of Yekaterinburg to see Britney perform in Moscow.

When she first learned Spears was coming to Russia, she was so happy she wanted to preserve the memory of that joy forever.
Irina told Life.ru,
I've been listening to Britney Spears since primary school. She's the soundtrack of my life. When I told my parents I wanted to have Britney tattooed on my breasts, they rejected my idea flat. But after two days of my begging them, Dad gave me the money for the tattoo.
During the concert in the Olympisky Stadium of Moscow Irina hopes to get as near the stage as possible and show Britney the fresh tattoo that features the star's portrait, signed “Britney.”

of my comp got infected by trojan horse small.bog virus

The scheduled scan on my laptop by AVG threw up 194 infections. Mostly iTunes files by Trojan horse small.BOG. (see snapshot below)


iTunes Trojan horse small.bog virus

I was relieved when I read this at Mashable.
AVG, one of the most popular anti-virus programs, is causing confusion today by wrongly identifying iTunes files as trojans. After updating its virus definitions, the anti-virus software finds up to 181 “viruses” in iTunes: attempting to quarantine the files prevents iTunes from working. The supposed virus name is “trojan horse small.bog”.

sorry couldn't find a name for this animal ..but looks cute .[PIC]



[via reddit]

Update: Ivan, a nature and wildlife lover, has identified this as an African Civet. Thanks Ivan.
The African Civet is a common viverrid native to tropical Africa. Unlike many other members of the family, which resemble cats, the African Civet resembles a short dog-like animal. Its coarse coat varies but is usually an ornate pattern of black and white contrasting bands and blotches, with a white face mask and black eye patches (like that of a raccoon) and a pale muzzle. Like all civets it has perianal glands that produce a fluid known as civetone (used in the perfume industry), which it spreads on markers in its territory to claim its range. (In fact, "civet" was originally the name for the scent obtained from this species: Middle French civette, from Old Italian zibetto, from Arabic zabAd, civet perfume.)

of family learned over internet that son was killed (jamal bana)

Family learned over Internet that son was killed: Jamal Bana had been missing for months; family learns of his death via Internet
Abayte Ahmed and her husband learned of their son's death in the most heinous fashion. A family acquaintance called and told them to click on an Internet site. There on the screen were photographs of their 20-year-old son -- the boy with the movie-star looks -- shot through the head thousands of miles away in Somalia.

Jamal Bana died in Somalia. Several missing Somali-Americans are believed to have fought there.

The FBI said Bana's death is part of a sweeping federal investigation into a recruiting effort in the United States by a Somali terrorist group called Al-Shabaab, which has ties to al Qaeda.

of thin is in for singapore youth (fauzi rassull)

Thin is in for Singapore youth: Fauzi Rassull is a slim 20-year-old blogger, popular among Singapore's fashionable youngsters, who flaunts his 1.73-metre (5-foot 8-inch), 60-kilogram (132-pound) frame in glamour shots splashed on his sites.
Followers share tips on eating and Fauzi himself swears by his regimen of two meals a day consisting of bread, instant noodles and salad.

Thanks in part to anti-fat advocates like Fauzi, thin is in among Singapore teens and young adults, but experts warn that the fad is behind a worrying spike in the number of people developing eating disorders.

"I don't see myself as thin, I don't think I'm thin now," he insisted, saying he was aiming to cut his weight down to 53 kilograms.

Fauzi's dream weight would put him below the healthy range of the Body Mass Index (BMI) system used in many countries to measure fat.

At that weight, Fauzi, who does not hold a regular job and sells ads on his blog, would be risking "nutritional deficiency diseases and osteoporosis" based on the BMI scale of the Singapore Health Promotion Board, a government agency.

Fauzi, whose blog "The Male Bitch" was voted Singapore's most popular blog for four consecutive weeks in 2009, denies he is encouraging anorexia, which afflicts many Asian youngsters.

of false alarm on former philippine president aquino’s death

False alarm on former Philippine President Aquino’s death: A text message that former President Corazon Aquino of “People Power” fame had died was circulating in the Philippines Friday, but people close to her quickly denied the rumour.
Toward the end of a mass for Aquino at the Manila city hall, former Supreme Court justice Adolf Azcuna was prompted by fellow Cabinet members of the former president to make the announcement after they all received a text message saying “Cory is dead.”

The announcement by the former presidential legal adviser caused churchgoers to break out in tears.

One of Aquino’s daughters, a family friend and a staff member of her son Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III confirmed that the former president was still alive.

“Please let us not make these untoward statements against Cory. She is still alive,” said Margie Juico, Aquino’s private secretary during her term as president.

“Let us await word from the family. Let us respect that and let us all pray for her,” said Juico.

The British embassy here, apparently receiving the same text message, issued a message of condolence to the Aquino family. It has since recalled its message.

The bed-ridden Aquino, 76, has been battling Stage 4 colon cancer for some months now.

She was the 11th and first-ever female president of the Philippines, serving from 1986 to 1992, calling herself a “plain housewife.”

of bike lock fight

New York City - Street fight on corner: Cyclist and another guy caught on camera fighting. Cyclist hit the guy with the bike lock. See video below.
I made a pit stop in a starbucks somewhere on the lower east side and i saw this guy who appeared to be a bike messenger (maybe not) and an older asian guy (for sure he was an older asian guy) getting into a fight because they ran into each other at the intersection. the older guy could have walked away but WOULDN'T LEAVE THE BIKE DUDE ALONE, the bike guy even said 'stop following me man', then the bike dude totally let him have it, POW! KRYPTONITE LOCK TO THE FACE LIKE 3 OR 4 TIMES! Dude's face was actually bleeding hard core for like the next 10 minutes, but i had to bounce soon after. People from inside the starbucks did come to his aid, but it all happened pretty fast. Crazy, and oddly enough, the very next day i saw another fight in the street between two women and titties were flyin in that one, high heels bangin on car windows... unfortunately i did not have the camera, bummer. Enjoy.
