Confident lang ni si Nonito Donaire because he migrated to the U.S. when he was barely 10 years old. His early life in the U.S. is a big influence in everything he does today. In fact it can be seen in  his English which sounds a lot better than the other Filipino boxers.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits. Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and do many mighty works in Your Name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you evildoers.'" (Matthew 7:15-23 RSV)

Sound better than a priest in catholic dogma? How presumptuous of you, my dear sage. Never did I think like that, but sharing some truths as explained in biblical passages. An exchange of ideas does not necessarily mean one is presumptuous. Not everything is negative, dear worldly sage.


So you don't know that you sound arrogant? Perhaps this little introduction into some basic writing principles will lead you into a more careful "sharing", and hopefully into a more realistic view of yourself:



Understanding Voice and Tone in Writing
http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/understanding-voice-and-tone-in-writing.aspx


What Is a Writing Voice?

Voice is the distinct personality, style, or point of view of a piece of writing or any other creative work. Voice is what Simon Cowell is talking about when he tells "American Idol" contestants to make a song their own and not just do a note-for-note karaoke version. Many musicians have played "The Star-Spangled Banner," for instance, but there's a world of difference between the Boston Pops' performance and Jimi Hendrix's, even though the basic melody is the same.

In writing, the New York Times and the New York Post may cover the same story, but their headlines are likely to be quite different. For example, when Ike Turner died, the New York Times had a straightforward headline: "Ike Turner, Musician and Songwriter in Duo With Tina Turner, Dies at 76"; whereas the New York Post went for a bad pun: "Ike 'Beats' Tina to Death."

Why Voice Matters

Voice is important because your writing should have as much personality as you do. You've read things that seem to have been written by committee, and it's not a fun experience. A strong voice helps you make every word count, establishes consistency across your website or body of work, and most importantly helps you grab your readers' attention and establish a relationship with them. You probably have a short list of writers you'll read no matter what their subject, because you like their style so much, and other writers you can't stand because they sound snarky or condescending or otherwise unappealing to you.

Finding Your Voice

So how do you discover and develop your voice? Start by thinking about these three things:

What you want to communicate about yourself or, if you're writing for a business, about the company's brand. If you asked your readers to describe your copy with a few adjectives, which words would you want them to choose?

The purpose of what you're writing. Should your voice be different for an obituary than for a movie review? Do you want to inform, entertain, or motivate readers to take action?

Your target audience. Are you writing for kids, professional investors, soccer fans from around the world?

As you think about each of those factors, scribble down adjectives that might apply to your voice. If you get stuck, consider some qualities that you don't want to convey, like "long-winded" or "snooze worthy" or "arrogant." Consider your peers and competitors, too: How will your voice be distinct from theirs?
When you have a substantial list, start to prune. Delete any descriptors that seem secondary in importance, and see if you can make any words more specific. Many writers might describe their voices as conversational, for example, but there's a big difference between conversational on a celebrity gossip site and conversational on a bank site. Boil your list down to four or five essential descriptors.

How Do You Translate Voice into Words?

The next step is to translate those voice characteristics into writing mechanics. Voice may affect your word choice, sentence and story structure, even your punctuation. For example, if you're writing about fashion for tween girls, and you want your voice to be fun, trendy, upbeat, and accessible, then you might want to keep your vocabulary at an eighth-grade level but allow slang and even some made-up words for freshness; you might want to set an attention-span-appropriate word count; and punctuation marks that some people consider too casual, such as exclamation points and ellipses, are probably OK in moderation. Create some writing do's and don'ts specific to your voice.

There are a few elements to be careful with: jargon, culture-specific references, and humor. If you're speaking to a highly specific readership, like tech fans or grammar geeks, then it may be not only necessary but expected that you'll use insider terminology like "cloud computing" or "nonrestrictive clause." But generally speaking, the more diverse your audience, the more you should strive for clarity and simplicity and avoid slang, humor that might be misconstrued, and culture-specific references. For instance, baseball-derived slang like "bush league" and "batting average" may be Greek to anyone not from the U.S.

What's the Difference Between Tone and Voice?

One more thing: Some of you may be wondering what the difference is between voice and tone. You could consider tone a subset of voice. If voice is the personality of a story, then tone is the mood. Although lots of writers could describe their voice as funny, the mood of their individual pieces might be dark or biting or silly or sarcastic.

Summary

A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them and keep them coming back for more. Take 20 minutes to define your voice, and you'll never sound like bad karaoke or committee writing.

Facts and Trivia / Top 10 Myths and Facts About Cats
February 20, 2011, 07:11:41 PM



Cats have been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years, and are currently the most popular pet in the world. Due to their close association with humans, cats are now found almost everywhere on Earth.

These are common misunderstandings that veterinarians frequently hear from cats owners.  Following is a list of Top 10 myths that veterinarians frequently hear from cats owners.

10. Myth: Animals heal themselves by licking their wounds.
Fact: Such licking actually can slow the healing process and further damage the wound.

9. Myth: A cat’s sense of balance is in its whiskers.
Fact: Cats use their whiskers as “feelers” but not to maintain their balance.

8. Myth: Pregnant women should not own cats.
Fact: Some cats can be infected with a disease called toxoplasmosis, which occasionally can be spread to humans through cat litter boxes and cause serious problems in unborn babies. However, these problems can be controlled, if the expectant mother avoids contact with the litter box and assigns daily cleaning to a friend or other family member.

7. Myth: Putting garlic on a pet’s food will get rid of worms.
Fact: Garlic may make the animal’s food taste better but has no effect on worms. The most effective way to treat worms is by medication prescribed by a veterinarian.

6. Myth: Tapeworms come from bad food.
Fact: Pets become infected with tape worms from swallowing fleas, which carry the parasite. Also, cats can get tapeworms from eating infected mice or other exposed animals.

5. Myth: Indoor cats cannot get diseases.
Fact: Cats still are exposed to organisms that are carried through the air or brought in on a cat owner’s shoes or clothing. Even the most housebound cat ventures outdoors at some time and can be exposed to diseases and worms through contact with other animals feces.

4. Myth: Cats cannot get rabies.
Fact: Actually, most warm-blooded mammals, including cats, bats, skunks and ferrets, can carry rabies. Like dogs, cats should be vaccinated regularly according to local laws.

3. Myth: Cats that are spayed or neutered automatically gain weight.
Fact: Like people, cats gain weight from eating too much, not exercising enough or both. In many cases, spaying or neutering is done at an age when the animal’s metabolism already has slowed, and its need for food has decreased. If the cat continues to eat the same amount, it may gain weight. Cat owners can help their cats stay fit by providing exercise and not over-feeding.

2. Myth: Cats should drink milk everyday.
Fact: Most cats like milk, but do not need it if properly nourished. Also, many will get diarrhea if they drink too much milk. If it is given at all, the amount should be small and infrequent.

1. Myth: Cats always land on their feet.
Fact: While cats instinctively fall feet first and may survive falls from high places, they also may receive broken bones in the process. Some kind of screening on balconies and windows can help protect pets from disastrous falls.

God makes use of the wicked to execute righteous vengeance on each other; and he will be glorified by their destruction at last.

What pitfalls should we avoid when participating in a small-group Bible study?

Sam O'Neal | posted 2/23/2010
http://www.christianitytoday.com/biblestudies/questions/spirituallife/pitfallsavoidinsg.html


I firmly believe that small groups can be a positive force for discipleship, spiritual growth, and advancing the kingdom of God through acts of service and love. But, like any human endeavor, that potential for good is balanced by the potential to cause damage.

To help you avoid that damage, here are several pitfalls to be aware of as you participate in small-group Bible studies:

    * Focusing on education rather than transformation. Too many small-group members believe that "doing Bible study" is primarily an intellectual experience. That's not the caseâ€"or it shouldn't be the case. Acquiring new information is good, especially when that information has to do with God and his Word, but the experience of learning something new in a small group should be the first step on a long journey toward transformation. And the second step on that journey should be application. Remember James 1:22: "Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says."

    * Confusing opinion with fact. We all have opinions about what the Bible says and what it means to live as a Christian. Most of us have strong opinions, at that. And it's natural for us to bring those opinions into a small groupâ€"that's a good thing. But trouble can arise when we start treating our opinions as established, "no one should disagree with this" fact.

      So if you feel yourself beginning to clash with what another person believes or how another person behaves, take a step back before escalating that clash. Ask yourself, "Am I reacting to an incontrovertible Truth from the Bible (of which there are surprisingly few), or am I reacting to a personal opinion?" It's vital that small-group members allow one another the freedom to learn and grow as individuals, rather than attempting to squeeze everyone into the same mold.

    * Giving in to fear. Most people have an instinctual aversion to sharing the deeper parts of their storiesâ€"especially the parts that convey weakness, struggle, or shame. So it's no surprise that interaction and discussion between group members during the first several months of a group's journey usually remain on the surface. But if the goal of participating in a small group is spiritual growth and transformation, then people will eventually need to go deeper.

      It's a scary thing to talk openly about parts of yourself that you don't like. It's also scary to admit when you don't know or understand something, and to ask questions that reveal what you don't know. For many, the most frightening thing of all is the act of confessing sin. But all of these actions are important and necessary steps to growth.

    * Avoiding commitment. People are busy. That's a fact of modern life and something that can't be ignored when it comes to establishing a community of believers. But that doesn't mean small-group members can treat the group as an optional experience from week to weekâ€"not if their goal in joining the group is spiritual growth and transformation.

      Small groups work when group members establish a higher level of authenticity, trust, and accountability than they experience in other spheres of life (work, neighbors, and so on). And the first step in establishing that authenticity, trust, and accountability is regular, dependable attendance. If group members skip out on group meetings regularly (more than once or twice in a semester), they dramatically limit the amount of good that can be accomplished in that group. More than that, group members who do not participate fully during the group meetings, or who keep things at the surface (see above), risk turning the group into a collection of acquaintances rather than a living, breathing community.

Sa tinuod lang kining 1 million dollar gamay ra kaayo ni dili sa pagpanghambog pero 100 acres ramay mapalit aning kantidara ug ipalit ug farm ground. Pasayloa nga gigamayan ko ani kay in reality gamay ra gyud ni ,siguro kay I was part of the operation nga maingon ingon ani ang abot nga kantidad. Sa atua dako gyud nuon ni ug kapadulngan. Imagine naa kay 1 million dollar diri unya masakit ka then dili i cover sa insurance believe me kining 1 million tilaan ra unya ni sa bills.
Ang kwarta ug wala pa nato daghan tag plano pero once manaa na nimo di baya pud ta kabasta basta ug panghatag lang or dili pud ka maka pack up lang dayon aron mag open ug business somewhere. Daghan future hunahunaon.

And his busy tail a-joggling
And his eager head agogâ€"
