MAKES YOU THINK II

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.

Fiquei pensando, olhando todos os países pelo qual ele passou, que se todas as coisas do mundo fossem resolvidas com esse espírito, pelas pessoas e não pelos governos que dizem as representar, nada poderia dar errado.

I was thinking - while watching all those countries he's been to - that if matters of the world could be resolved with this spirit, by the people and not by their so called representative governments, nothing could go wrong anymore.

MAKES YOU THINK...

at the end of the video, the lettering says: "why is it that some children are our problem and others are not?"

Politically incorrect...

...and very funny!

NO GOOD DEED SHOULD GO UNPUBLISHED II

Parece que junho está sendo um mês abençoado de alguma maneira. Várias coisas pessoais deram certo esse mês mas fora isso coisas bacanas andam acontecendo no mundo: ontem, o caso do carro protegendo o cachorrinho na marginal (leia meu post anterior), hoje recebo um email dizendo que duas garotas desaparecidas foram encontradas graças à divulgação viral da rede de amigos - fantástico!!
Big smile!

NO GOOD DEED SHOULD GO UNPUBLISHED!

Today I saw something that lifted my spirits: at an express highway, full of trucks & all kinds of vehicles, a single car was on the right lane, close to a long wall, at a very low pace. When I passed by I realised the motive for his low speed: he was "scorting" a dog that was trotting happily in front of the car, protecting it from other vehicles!
The expressway was full and the driver was risking being sweared or horned at but he kept the pace at all times!
Applause for this anonymous driver that made me believe a little more in humankind!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Seriously! It must be the best animation ever!!!

Confesso: sou gamada nos meus dogs!

Aí embaixo, uma foto que tirei quando estávamos todos os 7 na praia (3 humanos, 4 cachorros).
Eu tinha acabado de contar uma historinha:

"Uma mulher comenta com o marido:
- Nosso cachorro é tão inteligente! Ele traz o jornal todo dia de manhã!
o marido responde:
- Não tem nada de mais. Muitos cachorros fazem isso!
ao que a mulher replica:
- E quem disse que eu fiz a assinatura?"

Ultraje nacional

...muito bem denunciado, 521.900 views até o momento...

e nenhuma ação tomada.

O que mais me incomoda é a CARA DE PAU desses políticos: a gente reclama, denuncia, fala, saem na mídia, são criticados MAS, como NINGUÉM TOMA UMA ATITUDE DE VERDADE, os canalhas sabem que nada vai acontecer contra eles...

Resultado:...continuam roubando!

Deixa eu te dar uma péssima notícia?

Não espere que eles criem vergonha na cara: quanto mais não fazemos nada contra essa vergonha, MAIS eles vão nos roubar!

Pode escrever aí que eu assino embaixo!

Something to be very furious about

Sushi or Science? Outrage Increases Over Brutal Killing of Nursing Whale Calf and Mother


“How many times must Japan be told - you don’t need to kill whales to study them.”

Darren Kindleysides, IFAW

Outrage over Japan’s “scientific” slaughter of thousands of whales for “research purposes” has intensified worldwide with shocking new footage of a nursing baby minke whale and it’s mothers harpooned with explosives, hooked by their tails and dragged aboard the Yuishin Maru whaling ship to be cut into pieces. People around the world are calling foul and asking what kind of science requires an annual massive slaughtering of marine mammals. In reality, Japan uses a loophole in international whaling laws that allows them to kill thousands of whales for what they call “science” i.e. sushi.

Nursing whale calves are already easy prey for harpooners, but after a high-speed chase the exhausted, disoriented mother and baby stood no chance against the chaser ships and high tech harpoons. The mother and infant calf were shot with pointed harpoons packed with explosives.

The shocking images of the brutal killing were captured by Australian Customs crew aboard the Oceanic Viking only meters away. The Japanese whale hunt is conducted as secretly as possible, since the actual number of killings exceeds even Japan’s already lax and corrupt regulations.

Japan is hoping to kill almost 1000 minkes and endangered fin whales under the pretext of “science”. The Australian Government intends to use such ample evidence of abuse in an international court to stop whaling. According to independent panels, Japan’s whaling industry is more sushi than science, and the only way to stop it is for other nations to stop looking the other way. Since the International Whaling Commission imposed a moratorium on commercial whaling in 1986, nations such as Australia and Britain have condemned Japan for continuing to conduct illegal commercial whaling disguised as what it dubiously calls scientific research.

Japan’s 20 years of “scientific whaling” has delivered thousands of dead whales and next to no useful knowledge of the whales they “study”. The meat is packaged and sold in the fish markets in Japan. This has more to do with sushi than science,” IFAW spokesman, Darren Kindleysides, said.

Not only is Japan acting reprehensibly, but illegally as well. Three separate panels of independent, international legal experts have confirmed that Japan’s whaling program breaches the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Antarctic Treaty System and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and the International Convention on the Regulation of Whaling.

At the 2007 International Whaling Commission meeting real scientists (not the sushi chefs Japan is calling “researchers”) strongly criticized Japan’s ‘scientific whaling’ for having killed nearly 7000 minke whales all why universally failing to deliver any conclusions of scientific value.

“In contrast, research in countries such as Australia, Argentina and Brazil has delivered information on their life history, including population trends, to a precision that lethal researchers could not even dream of. How many times must Japan be told - you don’t need to kill whales to study them,” said Kindleysides.

However, Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research director-general Minoru Morimoto vowed to continue with his country's sushi/science program. "We are confident of achieving the programs stated objectives for this season," he declared in spite of mounting public outrage.

BRAZIL = CREATIVITY

Still on the subject, find below a very low cost project for water heating at home:

http://www.meioambiente.pr.gov.br/arquivos/File/meioambiente/solar.pdf

CREATIVITY = BRAZIL

Say what you want but I firmly believe brazilians are among the most creative people of the world. In all areas.

From a ridiculously cheap plan to install a solar energy capturing system to a new applicative for Nintendo's Wii, they create it all.

Watch this:

Bhudist dance

Watch this!!

I was fascinated! Sometimes it downs on me: look at the times we are living in! This is pure history being written in such few years!

Caramelized Graham Cracker!!!!!!!!
I've been dying to try these out for the longest time.. They are pretty expensive for a bag.. $7.00? with about 6 in each bag @ Blue Fog Market.. I got it as a gift from someone (thanks DORK!) and I was extremely happy! I would buy it even if it was $10.00 now. I let my co-workers try it and it looked like they just went to heaven!

Right when you open the bag, you can smell the caramel and chocolate. Once you take one bite, you won't want to eat any other chocolate graham cracker.

Oh my God.

As an impulse buy at Rainbow Grocery last night I looked at these rectangles covered in dark chocolate. The flavour that made me buy? "Espresso Chocolate Cardamom".

Last night was chilly and I wanted to relax with tea and cookies (and watching Aliens in America online).

I made my tea and opened the package. The scent was amazing. I then took a nibble and lost consciousness...

The espresso-dark chocolate combination are one thing, but then to have the cardamom hit afterward is another thing altogether.

THESE are amazing. Decadent, but amazing. I am rationing the remaining 4 cookies for emergency purposes only!

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION:
7/9 ingredients are organic!

Who makes Kika's Treats? The dark chocolate shortbread and the dark chocolate caramel honey graham are just so dark and addictive that it's almost criminal. I got the 5 remaining packets of graham crackers at Rainbow Grocery and everybody there from the aisles' staff to the cashier seemed to agree with me. Kika's Treats are wickedly delicious. At last some decent tea cookies with chocolate topping that doesn't melt right away and keeps its freshness

Bill Gates is my hero!

Sempre admirei o cara, eu confesso. Amo o windows, os programas do office (os Macqueiros que me trucidem, mas amo mesmo!) e acima de tudo, amo poder ter acesso ao mundo virtual.
Claro que amo de paixão tudo o que o Steve Jobs faz: ele pra mim é the man, o cara que vê o futuro mas agora que o Bill tá se aposentando, bate uma pontinha de nostalgia, como se eu tivesse vivido com ele cada conquista (e cada bug, cada travada do computador...).
Chega de reminiscências: abaixo, o brilhante vídeo de despedida que o Bill fez (Steve, acho que nessa o Bill te passou!) ;)

Adorei!

Adorei a idéia de colocarem cenas de "trash films" indianos pra gente colocar legenda...
Estou me divertindo mega!
