hof, my closest friend of an officemate in the late 1980s is one of the pioneering neocathecumenates in cebu city.  i realized later that she began regarding me as her "project", that is, she wouldn't be such a good neo (that's how they call themselves in cebu) if she couldn't convince her best friend to join. 

my stand: she should stop irritating me or else...  besides, i'm not much of a joiner of anything really.  i prefer a meditative kind of worship, somewhere where i could be alone to thank god in a quiet way.  so any church group that bandies itself as to how better is their way of worship is anathema to me.  i never got to attend even one session of theirs.  our friendship remained nevertheless.   

this much i've learned from her about their group, which i know is only a scratch on the surface:

it is sanctioned by the vatican.  (so are the focolare and the opus dei and many others.)

in terms of form, they are called neocatechumenates (neo, "new") because they practice what the catechumens at the beginning of christianity practiced.  (they prayed secretly, sometimes even in caves, so why don't you start looking for caves and using oil lamps because there was no electricity then?  i had jokingly told my friend.)  their baptism is a real drenching of water in a basin and they bake unleavened bread for their holy eucharist.

she talked about possible apostasies in current mainstream catholic practices.  (i hated this claim the most.)

she said they can go knocking from house to house and accept being spat on at the door for as long as they can spread the good news.

she and her group doubtless are sincere and truly prayerful, but as in any local church group culture of ours, the secrets revealed by members have a way of filtering out to become gossips.  (cursillo, anyone?)  i needed no other reason for turning down her invitation in no uncertain terms.

all in all, the organization was doing my friend good, so it must be good.  only, it's not for me.           

Roghair in October 1997 sought help from ANIMAL PEOPLE, PETA, AnimalTalk host Dick Weevil, and Ohio animal rights attorney Shawn Thomas--who turned out to be pursuing a parallel investigation of his own, after finding some of the same web sites.  On October 6, 1997, at Thomas' request, ANIMAL PEOPLE postponed publishing an article about crush videos to avoid jeopardizing the investigation.  Cassandra Brown in November 1997 scooped ANIMAL PEOPLE.

Learning thereby of the British investigation, ANIMAL PEOPLE introduced the British and American investigators by e-mail.  Unknown to any other investigators, the Suffolk County SPCA was separately closing in on crush video producer Thomas Capriola, 30, of Islip Terrace, Long Island.

Two days after Capriola was arrested in May 1998, ANIMAL PEOPLE introduced the Suffolk County SPCA investigators to Daly, Thomas, and Roghair.  Capriola in December 2000 pleaded guilty to misdemeanor cruelty to animals and fifth-degree possession of marijuana, and was sentenced to serve 280 hours of community service with three years on probation.

The original investigation brought the August 1999 arrests and eventual plea bargain convictions of "crush video" star Diane Aileen Chaffin, 35, of La Puente, California, and producer Gary Lynn Thomason, 48, of Anaheim.  Each drew a year in jail and three years on probation.  Convicted in Britain were Craig Chapman, 27, Christine Besford, 26, Sarah Goode, 22, and Tharaza Smallwood, 22. Chapman was in May 2002 sentenced to serve two years in jail.  The three women drew four months each.  All four defendants were also fined and banned for life from keeping pets. (From ANIMAL PEOPLE, January/February 2005)

Stevens advertised the videos for sale in the Sporting Dog Journal, whose publisher James Fricchione, 34, was convicted in March 2004 of six felonies and five misdemeanors for allegedly promoting dogfights.  Setting Stevens' sentencing for April 21, Bloch ordered him to surrender to the court any pit bull terriers he owns by January 24, and to refrain from any involvement in training, breeding, selling or otherwise dealing with pit bulls.

Stevens also may not associate with any other persons involved in such activities, and may not sell any equipment that might be used to train dogs to fight.  Brian Haaser, USDA Office of the Inspector General chief special agent-in-charge of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Region, said in a prepared statement that the "landmark investigation and conviction will open the doors" to further prosecutions of alleged dogfighters based on seizures of videotaped evidence.

The Gallegly bill was introduced in response to public outrage over Internet sales of "crush videos," depicting animals being crushed to death by scantily clad women and transvestites.  The traffic came to light when British Customs in mid-1997 intercepted several videos mailed by one "Jeff Vilencia" of "Squish Productions" in California.  British Customs took the videos to Martin Daly of the Royal SPCA.  Daly eventually enlisted investigative help from Cassandra Brown of the London Sunday Telegraph.  Unaware of that case, then-America Online "Animals & Society" host Susan Roghair, now producer of Animal Rights Online, independently discovered several web sites which promoted and sold crush videos.

Video law holds up in first test against animal fighter

PITTSBURGH--Reaching a unanimous verdict in only 45 minutes, a federal jury on January 13, 2005 convicted video distributor
Robert Stevens of three counts of selling depictions of illegal cruelty to animals across state lines.

The case was the first court test of 1999 legislation introduced by Representative Elton Gallegly (R-California).  U.S. Senior District Judge Alan N. Bloch rejected federal public defender Michael Novara's contentions that the law violated Stevens' First Amendment right to freedom of expression, and that it was misapplied because the law was introduced to address "wanton cruelty to animals designed to appeal to a prurient interest in sex."

The law prohibits the interstate distribution of videos or films depicting illegal cruelty to animals, if they are without "serious religious, political, scientific, educational, journalistic, historical, or art value."  Stevens, 64, of Pittsville, Virginia, in 2003 sold two videotapes of dogfights and one video of a "hog/dog rodeo" to investigators for the Pennsylvania State Police and USDA Office of the Inspector General.

In filing the resolution, Bello said the misnomer “South China Sea” has given undue advantage to China’s territorial assertion in the area and prejudices other countries’ claims.

a similar "misnomer" had been solved in the middle east.  for all intent and purposes, the old name "persian gulf" has been renamed "arabian gulf" in new and more enlightened maps.  that crucial gulf where all oil tankers pass belongs to all countries surrounding it.  so western philippine sea instead of south china sea is somewhat thoughtless.  it might not only irritate china but also the other countries surrounding it that happen to be claimants to the spratlys too.

Causes of past E.coli outbreaks

    Processed meats: hamburgers, kebabs and salami
    Cheese, milk, butter, yoghurt, ice cream and other dairy products
    Salad vegetables such as coleslaw, lettuce, spinach, radishes and alfafa sprouts
    Fruits including melons, grapes and apple juice
    Waterborne outbreaks associated with lakes, ponds, paddling and swimming pools


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13600144

What is the health advice?

The exact source of the contamination has not yet been determined.

Until the cause is known, German officials are telling people to avoid eating raw tomatoes, cucumbers and leafy salad including lettuce, especially in the north of the country, until further notice.

The UK's Health Protection Agency recommends travellers follow the same advice.

It says anyone returning from Germany with illness including bloody diarrhea should seek urgent medical attention and mention their travel history.

Treatment will probably include fluids and pain killers. There is evidence that some common antibiotics might not work and some experts believe antibiotics could make the illness worse.  For patients with severe HUS, dialysis might be needed to support failing kidneys.

The Food Standards Agency in the UK has issued general advice on the need to wash fruit and vegetables.

The agency says: "It's a good idea to wash fruit and vegetables before you eat them to ensure that they are clean, and to help remove germs that might be on the outside.

"Peeling or cooking fruit and vegetables can also remove these germs."

However, a Scottish expert said new research suggests washing alone may not be enough, as the bacteria may be inside the food.

Dr Nicola Holden of The James Hutton Institute said: "The bacteria are able to get from animal sources on to crops through different routes, most likely in irrigation water or sometimes from slurry spraying, while some contamination can also occur during processing and packaging."

She said the bacteria can colonize plant roots, moving up to the edible foliage or fruits.

"The threat to human health occurs because these bacteria are not simply sitting on the surface of the plant and are particularly difficult to remove post-harvest," she added.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13600144

Symptoms such as diarrhea with blood in it, severe cramps, and fevers, can take up to eight days to develop.

It is hoped that the number of cases will begin to fall following public health advice issued in Germany last week.

But the outbreak is causing severe infections and in a number of cases, affecting the blood and kidneys.

Haemolytic uraemic syndrome, an unusual complication of some types of E. coli as well as other infections, has been seen in hundreds of current cases.

This can be mild, however, in some cases it can lead to epileptic fits, permanent kidney failure and even death.

Large numbers of people between the age of 16 and 60 have developed haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS).


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13600144

The bacteria produce a toxin that can be fatal


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-13600144

What is E. coli?

E. coli is short for Escherichia coli. It is a type of bacterium present in the gut of humans and other animals.

Most strains are harmless but some are able to produce toxins that can cause symptoms in humans.

The severity of the illness people can get varies considerably, but some types of E. coli lead to severe cramps and diarrhoea.

Previous outbreaks have been linked to the 0157 strain, however, this seems to be something different.

Today’s complete rosary is now made up of twenty decades of the Hail Mary, separated by an Our Father and a Glory Be and sometimes the Fatima prayer; evidence again that the rosary is a living prayer that grows with the church.  

We usually break the rosary into four sets.  The four sets are The Joyful Mysteries, The Sorrowful Mysteries, The Glorious Mysteries, and the Luminous Mysteries.  One set is prayed on a rosary that has five decades.  Each set is prayed on designated days of the week.  There are variations however, and in some countries the rosary may even have different mysteries.

Despite all the additions and changes, the important core of the rosary has always remained the same.  It is a way for God’s people to make holy the day, and to remember the life of Jesus and his mother.  May these humble origins always be with us each time we pray the rosary.




http://www.personalizedrosaries.com/history.html

Various people have added other things to the rosary over the centuries.  In the fifteenth century, a Carthusian monk divided the rosary into fifteen brackets (or decades) and a Dominican assigned mysteries to each of the decades.  These mysteries were events in the life of  Jesus as written in the gospels.  By meditating on these events even the illiterate could  know the stories in the Bible. These decades were the same as ours except for the last two Glorious mysteries.  In those two, the Coronation and the Assumption together made up the fourteenth decade and the fifteenth decade was the Last Judgment.

On October 16, 2002, Pope John Paul II, declared that the following year would be the “Year of the Rosary”.  For the first time in centuries a change was made in the rosary.  The Pope added and defined 5 new mysteries that concerned events in the public life of Jesus.  These new mysteries were called the “Luminous Mysteries” or “Mysteries of Light”.




http://www.personalizedrosaries.com/history.html

This first rosary was prayed as we do today, a person would pass their fingers over each bead and say a prayer, usually the “Our Father”.  The “Hail Mary” as we know it wasn’t even around at that time.

The Hail Mary owes its origin to the rosary.  When people said the rosary in the twelfth century, Gabriel’s greeting “Hail Mary, full or grace, the Lord is with thee” was often said along with the Our Father.  Later, Elizabeth’s greeting ”blessed are you among women” was added.  It was not until the sixteenth century that the words “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death” were added.




http://www.personalizedrosaries.com/history.html

History of the Rosary

The traditional story of the rosary was that Mary herself appeared to Saint Dominic in the twelfth century.  At that time, tradition says she gave him the rosary and promised Dominic that if he spread devotion to the rosary, his religious order would flourish.  It is quite true that Dominic was quite devoted to the Blessed Mother, but no one knows for sure if Our Lady herself gave Dominic the rosary.  If she did, it is quite certain that she did not give him a rosary that looks like the one we have today.

Originally the rosary had 150 beads, the same number of psalms in the Bible.  In the twelfth century, religious orders recited together the 150 Psalms as a way to mark the hours of the day and the days of the week.  Those people who didn’t know how to read wanted to share in this practice, so praying on a string of 150 beads or knots began as a parallel to praying the psalms.  It was a way that the illiterate could remember the Lord and his mother throughout the day.  The “Divine Office”; the official prayer of the church; is the recitation of the psalms over a four week period, and is still prayed today.

Paying tribute to dogs of war
New York Post
By Heather Haddon
May 30, 2011

They are America's humblest -- and hairiest -- military heroes.

Military war dogs may not get their own Memorial Day parade, but they are on the front lines, protecting American soldiers, sniffing out bad guys and detecting illicit drugs overseas.

"We handlers have the most sophisticated pieces of military machinery ever made," said Petty Officer 1st Class Kathleen Ellison, 48, of Grahamsville, NY, a military-dog handler stationed at the US Naval Station in Rota, Spain.

"These dogs, no matter what their specialty, are saving US troops," added Ellison, a lifelong dog lover.

Ellison was deployed three times to Iraq and Afghanistan with war dogs between 2004 and 2009.

Her favorite perky companion, a German shepherd named Riki, detected mountains of illegal drugs, including marijuana, hashish and opium, while on the job.

One night on patrol in northeast Afghanistan, Riki's keen senses picked up on the movement of Taliban fighters 75 yards away. Thanks to the dog's heads-up, US soldiers -- whose night-vision goggles hadn't even picked up the insurgents -- were able to safely clear out of the area.

"[Military dogs] are on the absolute frontlines with our troops," said Ellison, who re-enlisted with the Navy after her godson's father, Lt. Vincent Halloran, was killed in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

There are approximately 3,000 military dogs safeguarding US bases and embassies, as well as patrolling in the Middle East, according to Ron Aiello, president of the US War Dogs Association and a handler during the Vietnam War.  About 60 have been killed or injured in the line of duty in the last eight years, he said.

All of the dogs are trained to conduct dangerous missions, such as the one just handled by Cairo, the Navy SEALs pooch who policed Osama bin Laden's compound during the raid that killed the al Qaeda leader.

SI man busted for beating dog to death

By Lorena Mongelli
The New York Post
June 3, 2011

A depraved Staten Island brute was busted yesterday for viciously beating his family’s helpless Jack Russell Terrier to death in front of his horrified wife authorities said.

Nashbert Smith, 28, a registered sex offender, allegedly flew into a rage after the dog defecated inside his apartment on Vanderbilt Avenue near Prince Street on Wednesday.

Before killing Lady, Smith allegedly called his wife Diamond Smith, and ordered her to come home. Upon her return at 4 p.m., a crazed Smith began torturing the pooch, grabbing Lady by her leash and repeatedly slamming the dog against the walls of the hallway and the kitchen, causing blood to splatter all over the floor, law enforcement sources said.

“F---k the dog,” he snarled, while savagely choking the beloved pet, law enforcement sources said.

Meanwhile, his wife desperately dialed 911 but when responding officers arrived it was too late.

Lady was rushed to a local veterinarian hospital and pronounced dead, officials said.

A necropsy found the dog died of internal bleeding, brain trauma and bruised lungs and Smith was arrested and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, according to a spokesperson for Staten Island DA Daniel Donovan.

Smith has been arrested several times before, including for assault and drug possession.

she also delivered the cash for p.r. purposes to dep/ed people.  she herself had a share of a minuscule chunk, she said, in 4 to 6 figures.  as hers was minuscule, one can imagine the amount of kickbacks those educators at the dep/ed had.  note the past tense, give or take a few years or so that straddled between two previous presidents of ours.  i don't know if the same thing is still happening now.

Thai cock-cutting catastrophe

Dozens of Bangkok penises are annually "fed to the ducks" by vengeful wives

- - - - - - - - - - - -

By Hank Hyena

Another philandering Thai husband has been horribly stripped of his adulterous manhood.

Bangkok police captain Samphan Panitphan went on a drinking binge with his buddies last weekend, reports Saturday's Daily Record. Returning home to his suspicious wife Sudjai, 28, he collapsed in a stupor.

His unconscious body presented an irresistible target to Sudjai, who carved out some vengeance for his recent affairs. She cut off his penis!

Removing the devious dicks of wandering husbands is becoming almost as common in Thailand as carving up coconuts. The slashing wives' habit is euphemistically referred to as "tat lieng pet" (feeding the duck) due to an incident in which the offending organ was tossed into a yard where a passing duck ate it.

Bangkok surgeons are challenged with about 60 penile attachment operations per year, notes the Mirror.  Victims and their removed rods must be stitched together quickly because isolated cock-cells expire in approximately one hour.

Shagnasty Says: Something's just aren't funny are they guys. What with Mrs Bobbit and these Thai ladies there is a concerning trend here. What's wrong with the time honored "throw him out of the house and in to court" I ask?

When Samphan woke up screaming and bloody, he urgently telephoned his cop colleagues for help. Arriving abruptly, they interrogated Sudjai about the missing staff's whereabouts, but she refused to immediately divulge the location of its grave. When she finally guided everyone to a sewage drainpipe, the extramarital member was deceased.

Sudjai was arrested and charged with physical assault, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.

If convicted, will her punishment halt the plague of hose-hatcheting?  Probably not: as long as Thai men maintain their loose tradition of taking "second" wives, the first spouses will sharpen daggers for duck-food.

reported messages of Our Lady of Medugorje that mention the rosary:

January 25, 1991 

“Dear children!  Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer. Let your prayer be a prayer for peace.  Satan is strong and desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live.  Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God's blessing of peace.  God has sent me among you so that I may help you.  If you so wish, grasp for the rosary.  Even the rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives.  I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God's will.  Thank you for not betraying my presence here and I thank you because your response is serving the good and the peace. ”

August 25, 1997 

“Dear children!  God gives me this time as a gift to you, so that I may instruct and lead you on the path of salvation.  Dear children, now you do not comprehend this grace, but soon a time will come when you will lament for these messages.  That is why, little children, live all of the words which I have given you through this time of grace and renew prayer, until prayer becomes a joy for you. Especially, I call all those who have consecrated themselves to my Immaculate Heart to become an example to others.  I call all priests and religious brothers and sisters to pray the rosary and to teach others to pray.  The rosary, little children, is especially dear to me. Through the rosary open your heart to me and I am able to help you.  Thank you for having responded to my call. ”

The Blessed Mother's Apparitions and the Holy Rosary

OUR LADY OF MEDUGORJE (QUEEN OF PEACE)
1981-present



Our Lady of MeÄ'ugorje (also named Queen of Peace) is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary by those who believe that she appeared to six Herzegovinian Croat children in MeÄ'ugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina (at the time in SFR Yugoslavia).  The visionaries often refer to the apparition as the "Gospa", which is Croatian for "Lady".

On June 24, 1981, young Mirjana Dragicevic and Ivanka Ivanković reported seeing an apparition of the Virgin Mary in a village in what is now Bosnia-Herzegovina.  The following day another vision was reported, this time also by four other young people: Marija Pavlović, Jakov Colo, Vicka Ivanković, and Ivan Dragicevic.  For several years the six visionaries reported seeing daily apparitions from the Virgin Mary and MeÄ'ugorje became crowded with pilgrims.  It has been reported that Our Lady of MeÄ'ugorje has been appearing daily to three of these visionaries ever since.

The Blessed Mother's Apparitions and the Holy Rosary

OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL AT GARABANDAL
Garabandal, Cantabria, Spain
1961-1965



Our Lady appeared to four girls, Conchita Gonzalez (12), Mari Cruz Gonzalez (11) Jacinta Gonzalez (12), and Mari Loli Mazon (12).

On the eighteenth of August, the Virgin taught the children how to say the whole rosary.

On November 4, 1961, the Blessed Virgin instructed the girls to recite the rosary every day, but as they complied, the Virgin was not always there to take part in the prayer.


As we examine this participation of Our Lady in the recitation of the rosary, we mistakenly wonder how she could “pray” to herself without becoming involved in a self-adulation which Marian theology and common Catholic belief thoroughly reject.  

At Garabandal, when she and the youngsters said the rosary, the girls were praying through her to God, although their little hearts were praying to her as well.  The words of the prayer seem to have us address her; but the first half of the Hail Mary is not our salutation but the reiterated Angelic Salutation and the loving salutation of Elizabeth, her cousin, found in the New Testament (Lk 1:28, 42).  In these verses some of the most delicate and caring evidences of God’s love and mercy are contained, not only for Mary, the incomparable, but for us too, since they relate directly for our salvation.

The prayers consist of repeated sequences of the Lord's Prayer followed by ten Hail Marys and one "Glory Be to the Father", and is sometimes accompanied by the Fatima Prayer.  Each of these sequences is known as a decade.

The Decade Prayer for the rosary, commonly known as the Fatima Prayer, was revealed by Our Lady of Fatima on July 13, 1917.  She asked the three shepherd children, Francisco, Jacinta, and Lucia, to recite it at the end of each decade of the rosary.  It was approved for public use in 1930.


   O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Your mercy.

The Blessed Mother's Apparitions and the Holy Rosary

OUR LADY OF FATIMA
Fatima, Portugal, 1917



To three shepherd children, Lucia and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco, the Blessed Mother appeared every 13th of the month from May to October, 1917. 

During the apparitions, Our Blessed Mother repeatedly instructed them to pray more and offer sacrifices to God for the salvation of sinners.  She asked the children to pray the rosary every day and expressed that God wishes to establish in the world the devotion to her Immaculate Heart.  She also urged that people not to offend the Lord, Our God, anymore.

What is the Rosary?

The Rosary is a traditional Catholic devotion.  The word comes from the Latin rosarium, meaning "rose garden" or "garland of roses".
 
The term denotes the prayer beads used to count the series of prayers that make up the rosary. The prayers consist of repeated sequences of the Lord's Prayer followed by ten Hail Marys and one "Glory Be to the Father", and is sometimes accompanied by the Fatima Prayer.  Each of these sequences is known as a decade.

The praying of each decade is accompanied by meditation on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, which recall the life of Jesus Christ.
The traditional 15 Mysteries of the Rosary were standardized, based on the long-standing custom as instituted by Pope St. Pius V in the 16th century.  The mysteries are grouped into three sets: the joyful mysteries, the sorrowful mysteries, and the glorious mysteries.

In 2002, Pope John Paul II announced five new optional mysteries, the luminous mysteries, bringing the total number of mysteries to 20.

The term Rosary has come to be used to refer to similar beads in other religions.


excerpted from wiki

1.  The Rosary is our “participation in the life of Mary, whose focus was Christ.” (Romano Guardini, theologian)

2.  Mariology is inherent in Christology; the path to Christ is through Mary in the view of Roman Catholicism.

3.  Pope Leo XIII viewed the Rosary as a vital means to participate in the life of Mary and to find the way to Christ.


Mariology - specifically, Roman Catholic Mariology, is theology concerned with the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ and developed by the Catholic Church.  "The Blessed Virgin, because she is the Mother of God, is believed to hold a certain infinite dignity from the infinite good which is God."  Theologically, Roman Catholic Mariology deals with not only her life but also with veneration of her in daily life, prayer, hymns, art, music, and architecture, in modern and ancient Christianity throughout the ages.

Christology -  the field of study within Christian theology which is primarily concerned with the nature and person of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Canonical Gospels and the letters of the New Testament.  Primary considerations include the relationship of Jesus' nature and person with the nature and person of God the Father.  As such, Christology is concerned with the details of Jesus' life (what He did) and His teachings (what He said) in order to arrive at a clearer understanding of who He is in His person, and His role in salvation.
