Bloemencorso is a spectacular annual parade of brilliantly imaginative, gravity-defying floats made from flowers (especially dahlias) at the small town of Zundert in the Netherlands.
The video shows the entire 2012 parade. It’s worth skipping through for a sense of the scale of the event.
Never?
Never.
“In a small number of cases, however, the treatment given may unintentionally result in the death of the unborn child. But in such cases the life is never directly and intentionally taken and everything is done to save the child. The key moral issue, therefore, for Catholics is that the life of the unborn can never be taken intentionally.”
John Fleming, Bishop of Killala

Mobile Cinema i20 ($150) is a 1080p pico-projector for iPad, iPad2, iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S. Maker Aiptek sez:
The compact and cableless projector is easy to plug onto your iPhone and projects all kind of media onto a screen size of up to 125 cm. Simply connect, play and enjoy your private movie show. Or browse the internet in the evening by projecting the content onto the ceiling. The internal battery can also be used to charge your iPhone on the go.
By His Eminem-inence , who sez:
Such was my anger that I put pen to paper to ask ‘Why is it that we have seen no resignations in the wake of these horrifying revelations?’. It’s been fascinating to watch the BBC/Jimmy Savile case break in the UK as we’ve been editing this video over the last few days. Say what you like, but there has been accountability within that organisation. And they don’t claim to be our moral guardians…
