Christmas has had a long and varied history. It was been celebrated for centuries by different people, at different times, in different places, and in many different ways. This article will teach you how to know Him, God, personally.

What does it take to begin a relationship with God? Devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that God will accept you?

You may be surprised that none of those things will work. But God has made it very clear in the Bible how we can know Him.

There are following principles that will explain how you can personally begin a relationship with God, right now, through Jesus Christ...

Principle 1: God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

God's Love

"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

God's Plan

[Christ speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and meaningful].


Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because...

Principle 2: All of us sin and our sin has separated us from God.

We Are Sinful

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

We were created to have fellowship with God; but, because of our stubborn self-will, we chose to go our own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

He Is the Only Way to God

BANGKOK (AFP) – Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asia's Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday.

A rat thought to have become extinct 11 million years ago and a cyanide-laced, shocking pink millipede were among creatures found in what the group called a "biological treasure trove".

The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan.


"It doesn't get any better than this," Stuart Chapman, director of WWF's Greater Mekong Programme, was quoted as saying in a statement by the group.

"We thought discoveries of this scale were confined to the history books."

The WWF report, "First Contact in the Greater Mekong", said that "between 1997 and 2007, at least 1,068 have been officially described by science as being newly discovered species."

These included the world's largest huntsman spider, with a leg span of 30 centimetres (11.8 inches), and the "startlingly" coloured "dragon millipede", which produces the deadly compound cyanide.

Not all species were found hiding in remote jungles -- the Laotian rock rat, which the study said was thought to be extinct about 11 million years ago, was first encountered by scientists in a local food market in 2005, it said.

After convincing my self to post more about fashion, i guess i came up with this. Another idea loaded from momgrind but i made a big difference. Yes a difference because you won't gonna dare trying these fashions of they so called "uniqueness".


Well, the girl above may look cool or even hot for some especially guys but not this one:



or even this one...



Girls that are wearing jeans with torn, torn it on the RIGHT place on your jeans. I mean not too high that your underthings will peep someone's eye.


Caution: The next image you are about to witness is not fabricated. You won't gonna like to lead your attention to the persons on the image. But please, do not call any exterminator, slasher, ripper, or even hairdresser.


awful...or even awful as this unique fashion shoes?


All of you i think got a bit of memory for the Rock and Roll Legend, Elvis Presley. Elvis provide an icon to music industry especially to fashion. It was so hot that time...as this one:



Cool Elvis' attire, as long as it get fitted. On the other hand, these next two modern or earlier human beings i guess will be the next stars...





Great fashion icons...

Professional stylists influence hair fashion with masterfully crafted works of art presented at local, national, and global hair shows. Each new show reveals a fresh approach to hair styling and coloring. New products, new techniques, and a range of looks from classic to the very fabulous ones!

Well, this is a bit unintentional post for me. I googled if there's such a topic about funny hairstyles, and my luck momgrind and 80srewind provided some pics for me to relate to.

Caution: Some of the hairstyles you are about to see are not Eco-friendly and may harm our ozone layer. The people on the images are just fashionable and have the sense of humor to show up. Parental guidance is advised. :D

Let's start from the 50s...

1950s: Beehive Hair

Correct me if i'm wrong but i guess now i know where these ERASER heads came from.

And oh! there's an urban legend occurring on this hairstyle. see this for more:
The Fatal Hairdo


Early 60s: Big, Stiff, Very “Done” Hair

Photo credit: Dr. Monkey

1970s: Feathered Hair

and the male version...

and it made me think if the U.S. former President George Washington be the first to have this hairstyle.

Photo credit: Cheesy Goodness

1970s - 1980s: Tight Perm, A.K.A Poodle Perm

Some rocker style of the 70s and the 80s. A big tribute for the slow rock legends including Dire Strait in my opinion. No wonder why our paps even did this style before :D Well it's funny nowadays.

1980s: Big Hair, Jheri Curl, New Wave and the Mohawk

According to momgrind, eighties were all about power dressing, big shoulders, lots of jewelry and of course BIG hair. You will likely need a combination of hair mousse, hair gel and hairspray to recreate this lovely look.

Check out this metal band, Poison. Now see the idea of what was BIG hair meant those times.

Photo credit: www.80srewind.net

Look at this guy. Jheri curl was a product that African Americans used to relax their hair. The result was a curly, wet look that, at the time, was hot. So hot in fact that Micheal Jackson himself had a Jheri Curl (or something close to it). Micheal Jackson’s hair actual caught fire during a Coke commercial when a spark from the fire works on set hit this chemicalized hair. Caution: Flammable!

Photo credit: www.80srewind.net

Mike Score, lead singer of an 80s band known as A Flock of Seagulls, is wearing a style that he made famous.

The New Wave 80s hair style consists of short hair in the back and sides with very long hair in the front swooping over one eye. Gay is the way to go with the new wave hair style. It should look pretty and glamourous.

This is one of the most insane hairstyles of the 80s. It looks like a stylized backward mullet. There is simply no excuse for this hair style.

Photo credit: www.80srewind.net

1970s-1990s: Mullet

Well, i call this the horse hair style. :D Short in the front, top, and sides, but long in the back. This hairstyle was popular from the early 1970s to the early 1990s. Just take a look!

Below is the Mohawk, a hairstyle which consists of shaving both sides of the head, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the middle. Mohawks became common in youth punk subcultures in the early 1980s, then gradually spread to mainstream fashion. The hair in the middle is often elaborately shaped:

Timeless: The Combover

A combover is worn by bald or balding men in which the hair on one side of the head is grown long and then combed over the bald area to minimize the display of baldness. Mostly seen on politicians nowadays :)

And spartans...

Be Thankful

"Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times,
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.


Be thankful when you're tired and weary
Because it means you've made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings."

Got this post on humble n` pride blog

Lyrics on the rest of the post,enjoy!


I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming

Now I’m a fat house cat
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
Kissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill, stuck going down

Lyrics on the rest of the post... Enjoy!


I should never think
What's in your heart
What's in our home
So I won't

You'll learn to hate me
But still call me baby
Oh love
So call me by my name
And save your soul
Save your soul
Before your to far gone
Before nothing can be done

I'll try to decide when
She'll lie in the end
I ain't got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
So hold off -wrong- (Tell you to hold off)
She should hold off-wrong- (You choose to hold on)
It's the one thing that I've known

Once I put my coat on
I coming out in this all wrong
She standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I'm in love
I'm in love

Girl save your soul
Go on save your soul
Before it's to far gone
And before nothing can be done

Cause without me
You got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on

Try to say the color of the words, instead of actually reading them. You will find it surprisingly difficult. The right half of your brain is trying to say the colors, the left half is trying to say the word itself.This is used by mountaineers to test if they're concentration is ok. (by J. R. Stroop).

Did you know? Pheromones have been around since the beginning of time. However, it is only recently that the pheromone and it's benefits have truly come to shine. Men and women have been searching for ways to attract each other for years. Wearing revealing clothing, buying fancy cars and spending hours working on personal appearance might in fact prove futile with the innovation of the pheromone cologne.

Let's face it, everyone wants the edge in the mating game, right? Being smarter than your opposition for your chosen mate is all part of evolution in action. And nothing is more natural than the mating game. But how can you get the winning edge over others who want the same mate you do?

Words can be awkward. You just can't walk up to someone and say, "Let's go to bed!" But you can communicate this message in a more subtle, natural way with the help of a pheromone. Smelling nice always helps. But smelling nice and getting laid like a Rock Star is a totally different ball game!

Natural pheromone is found in perspiration. We all know that perspiration is an unpleasant smell, but scientists have been able to take the pheromone and segregate them from the other particles. The end result is a liquid that is unscented and invisible.

Many people think that human pheromones are only used by men to attract women. In fact, that could not be further from the truth. Although men seem to use this sex pheromone more than women, there are many women worldwide who are benefiting from this powerful natural agent and are seeing in some cases better results.


There are many pheromone perfumes out in the market. You may prefer reading these reviews at www.pheromonereviewsite.com and for further explanations about Pheromones, visit wikipedia about pheromones.

PS: I'm not a pheromone user, mine is natural :D

Designer Luigi Colani has created a space-saving house with a six square meter cylinder inside that contains a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The cylinder rotates left or right bringing the room you want into view of the main living room. There's a separate toilet and a small hallway, and everything is controlled with a remote. The house was designed for young professionals who need minimal space while they focus on career...
