12-20 Dish: I won an iPod?!?

Published 21 December 06 08:28 AM | Zach

Last night was the ever exciting game called Ten Hunt. Sandra and TreasureHunter are covering that at the games blog. What made me not post last night you ask? Well, I won!! That’s no excuse you say. I say, OK, here is your post.

 

Paris Hilton Tops 2006 Google Search…

Socialite Paris Hilton was the most searched person on Google's news section in 2006.

'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Orlando Bloom came in second in the internet search engine's annual rankings.

Social networking website Bebo ranked #1 in the most popular general searches. MySpace.com was second, while World Cup soccer came in third.

 

Lara Flynn Boyle Gets Married…

Lara Flynn Boyle and Ray Thomas married in Texas on Monday. Why we are just finding out now I don’t know.

That’s about it…

 

Sharon Stone and Christian Slater Hook-Up for the Holidays…

The two, Sharon Stone and Christian Slater, have confirmed the rumors. Yes, the two are now dating and are planning on spending Christmas together.

The couple, who co-star in the new movie 'Bobby,' sparked romance rumors when they attended a number of events together, but refused to confirm their relationship.

 

Ruben Studdard Encouraging Alabamians to Lose Weight…

American Idol winner Ruben Studdard is encouraging people in his home state of Alabama to follow in his footsteps and lose weight.

The 28-year-old has lost 100 pounds and is asking the state's overweight residents to shed 10 pounds in eight weeks.

The singer is helping to promote the "Scale Back Alabama" initiative which will see Alabamians lose a total of 10 million pounds if successful.

He explains, "I'm not where I want to be, but I'm on the right track, and I'm excited about encouraging other Alabamians to begin their own weight-loss journeys."

Studdard's own weight-loss success was based on a regimen of eating a healthy diet and regular exercise, which were sparked by his effort to avoid a family history of diabetes and high blood pressure.

 

Celebrity Birthdays…

For some reason, the new website that does the birthdays says JanuaryFebruary instead of December. So until that gets fixed, I will not be posting birthdays. Sorry about that.

First - woohoo Zach!!! How cool is that!!!

Second, the song:

Ave Maria - one of my most favorite recordings is by Bing Crosby, but there are many out there.  It translates to "at the hour of our death", the last phrase of the prayer.  A truly beautiful, moving song!  Good choice, SnoFlake!

Ave Maria, gratia plena Dominus tecum; Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Actual lyrics - as opposed to just the prayer:

Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.
Ave Maria


Ave Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Ora pro nobis
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Ave Maria

Set to music by Franz Schubert
