Fr. Jessie Somosierra http://papal.hi.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/on-passing-through-the-narrow-gate/ "We Must Commit Ourselves to Being Little"

VATICAN CITY, AUG. 26, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of the address Benedict XVI delivered today before reciting the midday Angelus with several thousand people gathered in the courtyard of the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo.

* * *

Dear Brothers and Sisters!

Even today's liturgy proposes to us an illuminating and troubling phrase of Christ. During his last trip up to Jerusalem someone asks him: "Lord will those who are saved be few?" And Jesus answers: "Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able" (Luke 13:23-24). What is meant by this "narrow gate"? Why is it that many people do not succeed in entering through it? Is it perhaps a passage that is reserved only for a few elect?

When we consider it, in effect, the way of reasoning of Jesus' interlocutors is always with us: the temptation to think of religious practice as a source of privileges and certainties is always waiting in ambush for us. In truth, Christ's message goes in exactly the opposite direction: Everyone can enter into life, but the gate is "narrow" for everyone. There is no privileged group. The way to eternal life is open to all, but it is "narrow" because it is demanding, it requires commitment, self-denial and mortification of one's own egoism.

Once again, as we have seen in past Sundays, the Gospel invites us to consider the future that awaits us and for which we must prepare during our pilgrimage on earth. The salvation that Jesus worked through his death and resurrection is universal. He is the only Redeemer and he invites everyone to the banquet of eternal life. But with one and the same condition: that of making the effort to follow him and imitate him, taking up one's cross, as he did, and dedicating one's life to the service of our brothers. One and universal, therefore, is this condition for entering into the life of heaven.

On the last day -- Jesus observes in the Gospel -- we will not be judged on the basis of presumed privileges, but by our works. The "workers of iniquity" will find themselves excluded, while those who have done good and sought justice, at the cost of sacrifice, will be welcomed. For this reason it will not be enough to declare oneself a "friend" of Christ, bragging about false merits: "We ate and drank in your presence and you taught in our streets" (Luke 13:26).

True friendship with Christ is expressed by one's way of life: it is expressed by goodness of heart, with humility, meekness and mercy, love of justice and truth, sincere and honest commitment to peace and reconciliation. This, we might say, is the "I.D. card" that qualifies us as authentic "friends"; this is the "passport" that permits us to enter into eternal life.

Dear brothers and sisters, if we too want to pass through the narrow gate we must commit ourselves to being little, that is, humble of heart, like Jesus. Like Mary, his and our Mother. She was the first, following the Son, to travel the way of the cross and she was assumed into the glory of heaven, as we recalled some days ago. The Christian people call on her as "launa Caeli," Gate of Heaven. Let us ask her to guide us, in our daily choices, along the road that leads to the "Gate of Heaven."

[Translation by ZENIT]

[After praying the Angelus, the Holy Father greeted pilgrims in six languages. In English, he said:]

I am happy to greet all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors. May your stay at Castel Gandolfo and Rome renew your love of the universal Church. I welcome the new seminarians of the Pontifical North American College, and pray that their formative years in Rome will help them to grow in wisdom and pastoral charity. Among you I welcome the participants in the cycling pilgrimage from Canterbury Cathedral to Rome. You have cycled the traditional Via Francigena, following in the footsteps of so many men and women of faith on their way to the tombs of Peter and Paul. I pray that your visit will be a time of spiritual and ecumenical enrichment. May Christ keep you and your families in his love.

To the Muslim, Orthodox, Lutheran, and Catholic religious leaders from Kazakhstan, present at today's Angelus, I wish to extend warm greetings. Your gathering in Assisi and in Padua, together with your meetings in the Vatican, are a sure sign of the hope that mutual understanding and respect between religious communities can overcome distrust and promote the way of peace which springs from truth. Be assured of my prayers for the success of your visit and may your efforts bear much fruit for the noble land of Kazakhstan and beyond!

Stand for someting.]]> http://justinlessard.wordpress.com/?p=128 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:35:24 +0000 justinlessard http://justinlessard.hi.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/politics-stand-for-someting/ Politics. So many of us are just sick of it. Neither candidate has been telling the whole truth. Neither of them has a perfect voting record. Both of them love to sling mud. Its part of the job. One has to wonder, though, if being in the position of a presidential candidate requires such, let call it cruelty, and a heartlessness that you can publically attack another in front of millions, what else must that person have done to be in that position? Did they have to lie? Cheat? Break IRS tax codes and commit mass corporate deceptions? I’m sure that they did. You can’t get all the way to the top without stepping on a few toes.

 

He taxes too much. If you vote for him you’ll be homeless. If you vote for the other one, your children will starve. But if you vote for the first guy, they’ll lose all their education and become stupid rejects, begging for day-old scraps behind the ghetto bakery. But the other guy will take your job. And the other one will tax your new raise so you actually come home with $5 less every week. One of them will date your mom. The other will shut down her nursing home. One will have dinner with terrorists at Arby’s while the other just sends him a check at Christmas, even though they don’t celebrate Christmas.

 

Here’s what I’m saying: There are bigger issues than whose face is on the front page. Every day 6000 kids are killed by mid-term or later abortion. They refuse to allow Bibles in schools, so Christian parents teach home school, allowing their children to learn math and moral values at the same time. While the schools are taking a massive dump when it comes to value and ethics and crime and teaching self-worth, the state of California just outlawed Christians from their God-given right to teach their own kids. Now they have to send them to the cesspool of a school that will teach anti-creation science, thereby infringing on the rights of students to practice their own religion freely (but don’t worry, they won’t attack Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, pagans, wiccans, Scientologists, etc. Just the Christians.)

 

Let’s see, what else? Lets talk about gay marriage. I’m all for gays to have the right to choose their lifestyle- its their choice. (Just like my kids schooling used to be.) But I’m not for the whole gay-marriage thing. Sure, they can practice it, but that doesn’t really make it a marriage. I know, I know, they’ve redefined what “marriage” is, but it used to be a union before God between a man and a woman. Since most homosexuals don’t believe in or care for God, they can’t really have a union before Him that He will honor. But, what they hey, they ignored my right to practice my faith (only if it’s from the Christian Bible) by ignoring the 1st amendment, why not ignore the other principals too.

 

So who is going to do what to help me out? Am I personally going to benefit from either party being elected? Maybe, but probably not. There aren’t a whole lot of things that are going to actually make a difference in the way I daily live my life. I could be wrong, but here’s how I look at it:

If one side is accused of overtaxing and the other of allowing abortions, I will sacrifice a couple bucks, even a couple hundred, per year to vote for the sanctity of life.

If one side is accused of sending jobs overseas and the other of limiting free speech, I’m probably going to have to go for free speech. There will always be a need for jobs on the US. They may not be the best, but we have too many people not to need a ton of jobs. We also have a lot of politicians going after free speech, even though the ones attacked are the churches and the right. Hmm.

If one side wants to build a thousand mile fence at the borders and the other wants to let gays marry, I will go for the fence. Those guys are great climbers and if they can get in through, over or under a military fence, then they deserve to stay. For those that can’t, they can still come here, but have to go through the legal process. Meanwhile, I stand up for what I believe regarding gay marriage. I’m not anti-gay, but I’m not pro-gay. I’m just ok-gay; they can do their thing, but I don’t want tax dollars going toward something I find immoral.

Bottom line, I can’t do anything about the politicians. But, then again, I will probably never have to answer to them. I will, however, have to answer to God. I will stand before Him and be able to say that I voted for the things and the principles that are on His side, His Law, and His eternal purpose. I will say that I stood up for hundreds of thousands of innocent children and supported their right to life. I will say that I voted against the activity that led to His destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, the activities that He calls an abomination. I will be able to say that I stood up for His Word, His teaching, for the right to exhibit by faith, to speak freely the gospel. I will say, “Jesus, I stood up for you.”

What do you stand for?

In an effort to help curb this rising epidemic, the legislature and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have developed new Red Flag Regulations that will become effective November 1, 2008. These regulations, which were authorized by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), mainly address non-employment credit check scenarios; however, employers should be aware of their responsibilities under these new regulations.

Employers as well as all users of consumer reports must adhere to the Red Flag Regulations regarding address discrepancies. If an address discrepancy is detected, it doesn’t necessarily mean that identity theft has occurred; it means that the employer should investigate the warning and document an appropriate response.
The most important aspect for employers is to define and implement the Red Flag program itself. The FTC has mandated that a documented program is to be in place by the November 1, 2008 deadline. The employer is to develop and execute logical policies and measures that enable them to form a "reasonable certainty" that the consumer report relates to the applicant for whom the report was requested. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in civil liability.

Further information regarding the Red Flag Alerts can be accessed through the Federal Trade Commissions website at:

YouTube - Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Quite poignant, in my opinion:

PALO ALTO, California -- Steve Jobs told Stanford University graduates Sunday that dropping out of college was one of the best decisions he ever made because it forced him to be innovative -- even when it came to finding enough money for dinner.

In an unusually candid commencement speech, Apple Computer's CEO also told the almost 5,000 graduates that his bout with a rare form of pancreatic cancer reemphasized the need to live each day to the fullest.

"Your time is limited so don't let it be wasted living someone else's life," Jobs said to a packed stadium of graduates, alumni and family.

(Quote from "Live, Jobs Tells Stanford Grads")

There is a picture of Barack Hussein Obama in Muslim dress.

Here in the second video clip, Barack Hussein Obama slips up and, quite comfortably, says, "my Muslim faith." Only when the guy interviewing Barack corrects him, does Mr. H. Obama try to salvage the slip.

In this third video, it starts off with Barack Hussein Obama's admition that his Christian church is ok. Then his pastor says "God damn America" There are a lot of YouTube videos about his pastor's racist & anti-America comments. feel free to search. Then Barack Hussein Obama says he's been to 57 states, (with 1 to go, Alaska & Hawaii). Theres only 50 US states, but there ARE 57 Islamic states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Hmmm..... There are a lot of pictures that would seem to suggest nothhing but the fact that Barack Hussein Obama has a Muslim background. Whether or not he is now a Muslim is not the issue. The issue is lying to the US people. Also, he lied on the state bar exam in Chicago, saying he'd never been know by any other names, but he was registered at his Indonesian School (as a Muslim) by the name of Barry Soetoro. The lady in the video doesn't quite read along with the words well, but thats why there's a pause button.

But let me explain. i am the type of person that checks the mail more often that the phone, so today I looked over my phone. I had a message from a number that start with +97 that say this :"Dear Cristina, i am Dr. Jehad from Dubai, I sent u email, regards"....of course I smiled and went to check my mail. There was no new mail but the old one that I already write it down here. So I decided to answer this weirdo with this mail: "Hello,

I received your job offert. What the salary?

Kind Regards,"

And the answer come 2 minutes later:

"Dear Cristina

I am sorry for that mail,my account was entered by hackers,and many email sent from it,so ignore please that email
Best regards "
Ok, at this point I knew that I deal with not just a weirdo but a not an intelligent one neither...so i answered: "LOL and they hacked your phone number as well. And yes, of course I will forget that, don't worry, but I have to speak my mind.All of you Dubai persons are liars by birth? And what are you thinking about Romania? Really, I am not that stupid to not be able to read between lines. One more offer like this and i will allert the police. Now you cant prove that your mail was hacked as long you sent me a message from your phone. What is the business you are doing? Prostitution? Well, guess what Dr. Whatever, we are not all that desperate and so stupid to get into those proposal that fast. And if that is reality and your email was indeed took by hackers, then I apologise. But I am 28 years old and not naive at all, so stop looking through job agency CV and spam woman all around world....."secret lover" lol....as personal assistant....you make me laugh.P.S.

What language I may write in probably will just depend on my mood of the day and thesubject of course. Anyhow, it's mainly pure nonsense so I'm not expecting anyone to care. 

Well, that's it! Trying once again to keep this blog a bit more updated.

It's easier that way. Mixing the languages a bit but... No-one cares...

]]> <![CDATA[America: Get Up!]]> http://annielives.wordpress.com/?p=19 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 03:06:44 +0000 annielives http://annielives.hi.wordpress.com/2008/10/04/america-get-up/ Time passes slowly to three generations, but within the time line of all history we are but a speck of dust. Our problem, as Americans, is not that we aren't innovative, strong or intelligent. Our problem is that we're short-sighted, hard to involve in activities outside our routine and, basically, creatures of habit whose greatest wish is to live the American Dream without stumbling.

We've all taken the strength of America for granted and we have assumed, yes assumed, its longevity. It's been here long enough that it does feel fresh, precarious, teetering on the brink of extinction on decline. Most forget, our country is one of the youngest countries on the globe.

It is very plausible that a paradigm shift could occur, and within this or the next generation! We could become the new India or the new China, while India and China take over the spotlight as power players in the global economy.

The fact we think we became the alpha male of the globe within this short stretch of global history is not fact, but our opinion. This opinion has been overvalued by us and not recognized by many who live on foreign shores.

In analogy, we were the lion cub grew up, split off from our pride and along the way, won a few good fights, establishing a proud and fearsome new pride. We called it the United States of America. At different times in the past two hundred and thirty plus years, our country joined with other prides, forming coalitions to patrol and stand down power hungry nomads who were bent on the control or eradication of others.

Over time, our country prospered in many ways: Economically, technologically, scientifically and more. Other countries valued our trade agreements and innovations, as it strengthened their own countries. This barter system of sharing and growing worked well, when not interlinking it with any other repercussions. Exporting grain to starving countries was a noble cause. Exporting arms to an area of turmoil and counteracting that empowerment by arming surrounding countries has been failed policy and lack of foresight.

Not only has America had trouble with image and policy abroad, we have had setbacks in every area of strength we possessed. We left Great Britain while under the rule of King George III, unhappy with two major issues: freedom of religion and taxation without representation.

Yet, in America, we have fought against ourselves at the meaning of the very definitions put forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

We have fought to ensure that all races and both genders were documented as people with voices, not property. In the quest for freedom from slavery, we fought internally for years, and we have grown for more than one hundred years, divided and bitter, not wholly but enough to unnerve the comfort zone. Fifty-five years after the 13th Amendment abolition of slavery, women were granted the right to vote.

Taxation. The first collected income tax levied, in 1861, helped to fund the Civil War. It was called the "Revenue Act of 1861" and was rescinded in 1872. Then, in 1994, the Wilson-Gorman Tariff tried to impose the first ever peacetime income tax. It was taken all the way to the Supreme Court and found to be unconstitutional. Income tax would not show up again until Congress passed the 16th Amendment in 1913, which has met with controversy since its inception with an argument that the amendment was never fully ratified and is also in direct violation of our 9th Amendment right to unenumerated rights? Complicated enough?

There is a proposed Fair Tax Act, encouraged by Libertarians, that would abolish income tax completely in lieu of a national sales tax. What would that really do? Well, the current cost of the Department of the Internal Revenue Service would certainly be a reduction in spending, as they would not have to review all citizens' honesty and audit questionable tax returns. Taxes would be based upon purchases, and thereby those with less would buy less and be taxed less. Ironically, this bill has been contested feverishly and adamantly. One reason is that we already pay a sales tax. Oh, and we already pay income tax. Why mess with a system that taxes us when we earn it and when we spend it?

Technology. In our quest for growth and independence, we have polluted our water, our land, our air, and further up and out: our protective ozone layer. We may have nailed innovation, production and technology in the short term, but without regard to consequence, in the short term or long term. We treated those who spoke of consequence as witch doctors selling sugar water. In short, we treated environmentalists with disdain, disrespect and even satire. We now face a plethora of ills in combating and reversing even a portion of the damage we've done.

Religion, or more specifically, freedom of religion. We established this country, not in a small part, based on a feeling of persecution in Great Britiain. Yet, our lawmakers still let religion interfere between the people and the law. Same sex marriage is one example. Let us look at a few religious beliefs: Jews do not eat meat with cheese and the utensils that touch one may not touch another. Muslims do not eat pork and consider it a dirty meat. Hindus do not eat beefs, as they believe cows are sacred. Hare Krishnas are lacto vegetarians, abstaining from all meat, fish and eggs. Rastafarians choose food with no preservatives or chemicals. Now, if we were to respect ALL religions and abide by them, no American would be legally able to eat beef, pork, fish, other meat, egg or dairy. We would all be eating a nearly Vegan diet. However, Americans do not have dietary laws that force us to limit our diet in such a way, due to varying religious beliefs.

The argument against same sex marriage has been that it violates the sanctity of historically traditional marriage and is solely to be formed between a man and a women. There is an irony in the fact that the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 pushed through to legally define, for the first time, that marriage is between a man and a woman. When asked why a person who defines marriage this way, the often heard comment is that this feeling comes from their faith. Faith. But, we are allowed freedom of faith, are we not? And, while one faith eats pork, another eats beef and another abstains from meat, it is not illegal for any. We founded America on the basis that no one's else faith could infringe on our own, inalienable rights. Just as there are religions that consider homosexuality an abomination, there are those that do not.

It is true that atheists (of the opposite sex) can marry in a civil union, or in a church if they so desire, and reap the benefits of a married couple. It is true that Satanists (of the opposite sex) can marry in a civil union, or in a church if they so desire, and also reap the benefits of a married couple. Yet, two atheists or Satanists, or those of any other religion in the world cannot marry in America due to... what? When specific religions that forbid homosexuality are removed from the equation, what legal grounds remain?

When blacks were freed from the chains of slavery, there were those who considered them white man's property found it distasteful. When women were allowed the right to vote, there were those who considered them a husband's property and found it distasteful. Growth always brings with it discord, but I ask you... by what non-religious grounds, in a country founded on religious freedom, can we not allow two non-related adults to consensually enter a binding agreement of intimate partnership?

America, the lion cub, who grew into a great, alpha lion and led the pride in the world against oppression and against terror. Are we that same America today? We oppress our own, legislate the eradication of our rights, our privacy, our pursuit of happiness to all men created equal. And, we got lazy and cocky. The cub stopped paying attention to old alphas in other places that seemed small and powerless. The cub talked cocky, rattled a few sabers, angered friends and made new enemies while it allowed the members of its pride to falter, to lose hope, to lose their way.

The defining advantage of America: education and hard work, became a melting pot placed on the back burner, traded for convenience and leisure. Americans dismissed education, mocked math, science and our elders who spoke of the Great Depression. And, sadly, Americans found the buffet, the all you can eat buffet.

Over thirty years, we studied less, polluted more, discriminated more, and ate even more than that. While becoming a nation of video gamers, slackers, complainers and tv watchers, other countries studied more and underbid our wages. The tables have turned sharply and, subsequently, we may not be in a good position to deal with it. I am not insulting this generation of which I speak. I am of this generation, and I see, think, feel and live it all too clearly.

It is time for us to stand and deliver, time to study again, time to value education. We need math geeks and science nerds and environmentalists to be our heroes. We need linguists and economists and teachers to stand proud. We need bullies to feel the scorn of a nation bullied too much by its own. No slacker need bully a genius to feel better, when it is that very slacker who will weaken the country the genius can save. We need video gamers to use their skills for military defense, programmers who have a desire and a purpose that is greater than hacking a computer or spreading the newest worm virus.

Americans have long since relegated nations to common denominators. Germans for their automobiles, Japanese for their radios and televisions, Colombia for its coffee, and the list goes on. But as we stereotyped others, what nation have we become? What are we known for globally? And, what yet can we become?

It is up to us. We are one generation away from becoming a leader again or becoming a third world country, dependent on foreign lands' generosity to keep us alive. Get up. Stand up.

Are you using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to find the the client’s IP address in PHP? Well dude, you might be amazed to know that it may not return the true IP address of the client at all time. If your client is connected to the Internet through Proxy Server then $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] in PHP just returns the the IP address of the proxy server not of the client’s machine. So here is a simple function in PHP to find the real IP address of the client’s machine. There are extra Server variable which might be available to determine the exact IP address of the client’s machine in PHP, they are HTTP_CLIENT_IP and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.

Function to find real IP address in PHP

function getRealIpAddr()

{
  if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
  //check ip from share internet
  {
    $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
  }
  elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
  //to check ip is pass from proxy
  {
    $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
  }
  else
  {
    $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
  }
  return $ip;
}

In this PHP function, first attempt is to get the direct IP address of client’s machine, if not available then try for forwarded for IP address using HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. And if this is also not available, then finally get the IP address using REMOTE_ADDR.
