Ram Revilla murder suspects apprehended

| Ram Revilla killed in his home last Friday. |
They are Michael Cruz Altia and Roy Francis Tolisora who are alleged hired killers. The two, including 3 other suspects who are still at large, are accused of shooting and stabbing Revilla to death inside his house in Parañaque City, last Friday, as well as shooting Revilla's girlfriend Janelle Manahan who survived the attack.
Revilla's brother who happens to be Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr. had offered P500,000 bounty for information that would lead to the apprehension of those involved in the crime.
According to a TV Patrol report, the "love-triangle" angle as motive in the killing of the 22-year old actor had been dumped by investigators since there is not enough evidence to support it.
Meanwhile, an ABS-CBN report says that investigators are now looking into the possibility of a relative to have masterminded the murder.

The symbolic 7 billionth baby was welcomed with a chocolate cake marked "7B Philippines" and various gifts including a college scholarship.
Since thousands of baby are being born each hour, it is impossible to determine who and where the 7 billionth will be born. The United Nations decided to hold a series of "7 billionth baby" festivities worldwide which started in the Philippines and will be held in other parts of the world, today, October 31, 2011.
Dr. Eric Tayag of the Department of Health told the media that 7 billion is something to think about "deeply."
"We should really focus on the question of whether there will be food, clean water, shelter, education and a decent life for every child," he said. "If the answer is 'no,' it would be better for people to look at easing this population explosion."
The world's population had reached its first billion in 1804. A century after, another 1 billion people were born, cascading in the 20th century: 3 billion in 1959; 4 billion in 1974; 5 billion in 1987; 6 billion in 1998.

SUV of the Year Awards 2012 - Best New SUVs named
Posted by has in other stuff, SUV of the Year, world on Tuesday, October 25, 2011
 |
| SUV of the Year is Range Rover Evoque by Land Rover. |
The magazine's annual SUV of the Year is given to the Sports/Utility Vehicle that "best represents exceptional value, superiority in its class, and most significant developments on the SUV scene."
According to Motor Trend, Range Rover Evoque "captures our calipers by soundly satisfying each and every one of our six criteria."
"It's irresistibly stylish and loaded with standard features including Land Rover's best infotainment system yet. It gets significantly better fuel economy than any other Land Rover product without sacrificing performance; retains an off-road prowess that would embarrass most crossovers; and offers it all in a compact, fun-to-drive, and easy-to-park package. For Land Rover to survive in a future punctuated by tighter CAFE standards, higher fuel prices, increased concern for the environment, and waning consumer interest in traditional SUVs, the Evoque is exactly the product it needs." Motor Trend added.
The other contenders for this year's awards were the following: BMW X3, Dodge Durango, Dodge Journey, Ford Explorer, Jeep Wrangler, Mercedes-Benz M-Class, Mini Cooper Countryman, Saab 9-4x, and Volkswagen Touareg.
Evoque, a compact SUV from Land Rover which went into production in July 2011, is available in three-door and five-door body styles, and with front-wheel only or four-wheel drive. A stylish, leather-upholstered interior is standard, as is a full-length panoramic sunroof.
Three engine options are available for the Evoque: a 2.2-litre turbodiesel producing either either 148 bhp (110 kW; 150 PS) or 187 bhp (139 kW; 190 PS) and a 2-litre 237 bhp (177 kW; 240 PS) turbocharged petrol engine. Its body, meanwhile, uses aluminium for the bonnet and the roof, and composite plastics for the one-piece tailgate has helped to produce a vehicle weighing 220 lb (100 kg) less than the Freelander. A full-length glass sunroof is available as an option.

As winner of Fashionissimo 2011, 21-year-old Nelson Banzuela received more than half a million pesos worth of prizes.
Check out below the info written on Nelson's profile on the Fashionissimo website:
"Nelson is not unfamiliar to working hard. Born into a family with lesser means, Nelson has already experienced working odd jobs, including busting tables and lifting goods at a restaurant warehouse. All these he did so that he could support her younger sister’s schooling while finishing his highschool. But instead of bringing him down, his experiences has imbibed in him humility balanced with a sense of pride in his work. He wants to win the competition so that he’d be able to help his family further and so that he’d be part of the medical missions of the foundation."
Meanwhile, JB Espiritu and Hamid Hassan went home 1st runner-up and 2nd runner-up, respectively.
Now on its second year, Fashionissimo is a male model search organized by Circle of Friends Foundation and CHU Production.

Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls not sold in some stores

| Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls not cool enough for some. |
According to the reports, the said stores refrained from saying the reason why they are not carrying out the limited-edition Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls and whether they were influenced by the American Family Association group One Million Moms who earlier called for boycott of the product because of its "vulgar" name.
Despite this decision from these store owners, Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls is said to be selling like pancakes in other areas.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Ben & Jerry’s spokesman Sean Greenwood said that Schweddy Balls "has quickly become the most popular limited-edition flavor the company has produced."
A vanilla flavored ice cream mixed with a hint of rum and fudge covered with rum and malt balls, Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls took its name from a "Saturday Night Live" skit which featured baker Pete Schweddy (played by Alec Baldwin) whose popular line is "No one can resist my Schweddy balls."

| Yeng Constantino covers "How To Love" |
Check out Yeng Constantino's cover of Lil Wayne's "How To Love" below:
If you want to sing along, here's the song's lyrics:
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
You had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Never had a love
When you was just a young’un you’re looks but so precious
But now your grown up
So fly its like a blessing but you can’t have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It’s seems like you came back 10 times over
Now you’re sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
For a second you were here
Why you over there?
Its hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love
Had a love
You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn’t your fault
Wasn’t in your intentions
You the one here talking to me
You don’t wanna listen
But I admire your poppin bottles and dippin’
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don’t be mad
Nobody else trippin
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook
See You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love
Oooh,
See I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
Yeah
And I want you to know, you’re far from the usual
Far from the usual
You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love
How to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love
How to love

Prince Sultan is survived by 32 children from multiple wives.

Rapture, Doomsday to occur on October 21, 2011?
Posted by has in october 21 2011 judgment day, october 21 rapture, other stuff, rapture on Friday, October 21, 2011
Rapture is defined by Wikipedia as a "reference to the being caught up of 1 Thessalonians 4:17 when in the end times Christians will be gathered together in the air to meet Christ." In short, it's Doomsday!
The Rapture | Photo: hariotsoffirewhirlwindsfromheaven.wordpress.comIf Mayans believe that the end of the world will be in 2012, a Christian radio network is convinced that it will be today, October, 21, 2011.
According to the group's president Harold Camping who had apologized for setting the wrong Doomsday date on May 21 earlier this year, the end of the world will be today and will include an occurrence of a "great earthquake" and the rapture:
These events could not be more opposite in nature, the one more wonderful than can be imagined; the other more horrific than can be imagined.The 89 year-old retired engineer spent millions on more than 5,000 billboards and print ads worldwide to spread his May 21 Rapture prediction. A good portion of it said to have come from donations from his followers.
A great earthquake will occur the Bible describes it as "such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." This earthquake will be so powerful it will throw open all graves.The remains of the all the believers who have ever lived will be instantly transformed into glorified spiritual bodies to be forever with God.
On the other hand the bodies of all unsaved people will be thrown out upon the ground to be shamed. The inhabitants who survive this terrible earthquake will exist in a world of horror and chaos beyond description.
Through a book published in 1992, Camping previously predicted the Judgment Day to be happening in 1994. Justifying his first wrong prediction, he reportedly said "important subsequent biblical information was not yet known and there may be something he overlooked."

Siri On iPhone 4S Videos Invade Youtube
Posted by has in other stuff, siri, siri on iphone 4s funny, technology
Siri is a voice activated "assistant" integrated into Apple's new iPhone 4S. It uses natural language processing to response to questions, make searches and recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to other iPhone applications (calendar, email, text messaging, etc).
"Siri on iPhone 4S lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you’ll keep finding more and more ways to use it." Apple said.
This innovative software is said to be the selling point for the smartphone which has set a sales record of more than 4 million units in three days.
Since the release of iPhone 4S a few days ago, videos relating to Siri have been widely shared on Youtube and some of them are currently going viral through social media sharing.
Check out some of these Siri videos below:

A number of Given Grace's friends, schoolmates and relatives attended the lavender-and-white themed funeral march leading to the Santo Rosario Memorial Park in Binangonan, Rizal earlier this afternoon.
In an interview with dzBB radio, Given Grace's mom called for justice and asked authorities to secure schools so that the incident will not happen to anyone again.
"Alam ko ang hustisya ay makakamit sa lalong mas mabilis na paraan at panahon... Sana itong nangyari sa aking anak ay hindi mauulit, kung kailangan magdagdag ng tanod, sana mangyari yan para ang naramdaman ko hindi maramdaman ng iba," Mrs. Cebanico said.
Suspects Apprehended

Her lifeless body was then found at a canal near the Institute of Plant Breeding road early Tuesday morning. She was reportedly handcuffed and gagged. She also sustained a gunshot wound to the head and several bruises to the body.
According to the police, there were indications that Given Grace was also raped.
At least two suspects in the brutal killing of Given Grace are now under police custody - bank security guard Lester Ivan Rivera and tricycle driver Percival de Guzman.
