Batman Begins

O filme? Cool.
Andar às voltas para sair do parque, descobrir que o portão de saída está fechado, ter um segurança a dizer "tem que ir por ali onde está aquele sinal de sentido proibido e subir 3 pisos e depois procurar a saída"...isso não foi tão cool assim. eles podiam avisar antes...

FC Porto na Bélgica

Do site oficial do club brugge :

Porto a mérité de remporter la 30ème édition des Matines Brugeoises suite à la série de tirs au but.


Se eles dizem que merecemos... eu acredito...
Acho (espero...) que estamos no bom caminho... mas ainda há que melhorar muito. A mim o Adriaanse não engana, o truque de meter o Pepe a 5 minutos do fim para fazer com que o jogo fosse para penalties é de mestre... resultou!
Neste momento acho que preferia ter o Ivanildo a titular (no lugar do Lisandro no esquema de hoje), e quanto à posição de numero 10, é óbvio que o Adriaanse anda a entreter enquanto o Diego não está pronto, pelo menos eu acho que sim.

Mr. Rogers: Let's go right away/ Go somewhere today/ Let's be together and stay and stay/ Let's go together today/ Right away/ Let's be together today/ Together's the way I like the best/ I like to be with you/ I like the the things you explain to me/ The things you show me to do/ Let's go right away/ Go somewhere today/ Let's be together/ And stay and stay/ Let's go together today/ Right away/ Let's be together today/ Oh someday it's good to play alone/ But sometimes I get bored/ There's just so much you can do yourself/ With a ball. Or a doll. Or a sword/ But whenever I hear you want some time and want me to be with you/ I wonder how you knew/ 'Cause that's what I wanted too/ Let's go right away/ Go somewhere today/ Let's be together/ And stay and stay/ Let's go together today/ Right away/ Let's be together... Today.

Mr. Rogers
: So friends are friends. We thought alot about friends, haven't we? And we've thought alot about food. Especially food for the body. And that's a very important kind of food, because when a person is very, very hungry, he or she can't think of any other kinds of food. But there are other kinds. Music, for instance, is food for the hearing. And paintings and beauitful scenes are food for the seeing. And books are food for the soul. And loving other people is food for the spirit. Many kinds of foods. You could think of some yourself.

Mr. Rogers: You know, I was just thinking. Every person, whether little or big, is a human being. And because we are human there are many things that are alike about all of us. For instance, we all need to be loved. Everybody does. Every person that you see in this world needs to be loved. And the marvelous thing about being human is that while we're very much alike, each one of us is very different too. Isn't it great that we can care about one another the way we do?

nonsense 114

Chuck Aber: I guess we have to wait, huh?
Ana Platypus: It seems that's what life is all about.
Chuck Aber: What's that, Ana?
Ana Platypus: Waiting. Waiting for Lady Elaine. Waiting for my bicycle. Waiting for everything. That's what life is - waiting.

nonsense 113

Allie Keys: My mom told me once that when you're afraid of something, what you want more than anything else is to make it go away. You want your life back to the way it was before you found out that there was something to be afraid of. You want to build a high wall and live your old life behind it. But nothing ever stays the same. That's not your old life at all. That's your new life with a wall around it. Your choice is not about going back to the way things were. Your choice is about hiding, or about going right to the heart of the thing that scares you.

Allie Keys: Sometimes the best way to move into the unknown is to take familiar steps, small steps. To do ordinary things to deal with something that is in no way ordinary. We're always going someplace new, all the time. Familiar things just let us pretend that we aren't moving into unfamiliar territory. You take those small familiar steps, and you try to be honest, not to live as if nothing had changed but still to go on with your life. But there are times when what you need is a piece of how things used to be.

Allie Keys: People talk a lot as if the most important thing in life is to always see things for what they really are. But everything we do, every plan we make, is kind of a lie. We're closing our eyes and pretending that the day won't ever come when we won't need to make any more plans. Hope is the biggest lie there is, and it is the best. We have to keep going as if it all mattered, or else we wouldn't keep going at all.

Allie Keys: What makes a man who he is? Is it the worst things he's ever done, or the best things he wants to be? When you find yourself in the middle of your life and you're nowhere near of where you were going, how do you find the way from the person you've become to the one you know you could have been?

gmail language error

O idioma que tenho definido nas opções do gmail é... português.

Mas há umas palavras que aparecem... que eu quase que posso jurar que não são português...

Aquilo que aparece por baixo do Imagens externas não exibidas supostamente deveria ser qualquer coisa tipo "bloquear imagens - mostrar imagens"... mas devia estar em português... e não em (sei lá...) holandês?
No resto dos menus aparece tudo em português... mas nisto das imagens lá aparece o raio do holandês (ou seja o que for...).
Será que o facto do Co Adriaanse ser o treinador do F.C. Porto terá alguma coisa a ver com este erro?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Nonsense

Mike Teavee: Why is everything here completely pointless?

Wrestling

My 9 favorite wrestling moves! ah pois!... os peluches são facilmente reconheciveis.. e fazem parte do merchandising da wwe...sim... podem-se comprar. e não... não tenho nenhum! Para quem não saiba... o de cima é o Ric Flair e o de baixo o Batista.



#9 - Camel clutch

The wrestler sits on the back of his opponent, who is face down on the mat, and reaches under his opponent's arms to apply a chinlock. The wrestler then leans back and pulls the opponent's head and arms back (and as a result, pulling the torso back as well). In its early years, this was thought of as a potentially match ending submission but these days it enjoys only limited use and effectiveness.

#8 - German Suplex
A belly-to-back waistlock/gutwrench suplex. The attacker stands behind the victim, grabs him/her around the waist, lifts him/her up, and falls backward to slam the victim back-first. Frequently the attacker finishes in a bridging position with the waistlock still applied to try for a pin. A popular variant is to follow up a German suplex by rolling sideways while still holding the waistlock and perform another German suplex. This maneuver, popularized recently by Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, is called rolling Germans.

#7 - Dropsault

A dropsault is an attack where the wrestler jumps up and kicks the opponent with both feet and then executes a backflip, landing on the mat chest-first. Sometimes this move can see the wrestler land chest-first on another opponent.

#6 - Vertical Suplex
Set up similar to a snap suplex, except that when the victim is in position he is lifted up and held upside-down before the attacker falls backwards. Eddie Guerrero introduced a signature maneuver in which, after falling to the ground with his opponent, he flips himself over while maintaining his hold, pulls the victim back into the original position, and performs another vertical suplex. He ends once he has performed three suplexes. WWE announcers have dubbed the sequence Three Amigos

#5 - Elevated powerbomb
Similar to a normal Powerbomb but instead of slamming the opponent directly on the mat from the shoulders, the attacker lifts the opponent even higher by extending his/her arms up then drives the opponent down to the canvas.
This version of a powerbomb is used by The Undertaker as one of his finishers and refers to it as The Last Ride.

#4 - Double underhook facebuster

Instead of holding the opponent's head like most facebusters, a wrestler bends his/her opponent forward, placing the victim's head between the attacker's legs (a standing head scissors), and hooks each of the opponents arms behind his/her back. He/she then drops to his/her knees, forcing the opponent's face into the mat. Triple H uses it as his finisher, and calls it the Pedigree.

#3 - Flying Clothesline
Similar to a clothesline from the top rope, however this version is done whilst running towards the opponent (usually after bouncing off the ropes) and leaping toward the opponent and connecting with a forearm to the face, chest or throat. This version of the clothesline is used by The Undertaker.

#2 - Superkick

A high side thrust kick to the opponent's head, usually preceded by a sidestep, often referred to as a Shuffle side kick, or just a Side kick. Many wrestlers use this as signature move, most notably Shawn Michaels who uses this as his finisher (which is often preceded by a series of foot stomps), referring to it as the "Sweet Chin Music".

#1 - Tombstone Piledriver
The wrestler flips his/her opponent upside-down so that he/she is facing each other, and drops to a sitting or kneeling position so that the victim falls to the mat headfirst. It was popularized by The Undertaker, who used it as his finisher and first called it the "Tombstone Piledriver". It is also called a belly-to-belly piledriver or reverse piledriver.The easy way to do this is to put on arm around their shoulders, one around the bottom part of the hip, lift them onto your shoulders, then drop them in between your legs.

As minhas bandeiras preferidas

E uma lista das minhas 18 bandeiras preferidas dos países do mundo, com imagens, descrições e comentários! Da 18ª para a 1ª...aqui fica:

18 - Morocco

red with a green pentacle (five-pointed, linear star) known as Sulayman's (Solomon's) seal in the center of the flag; red and green are traditional colors in Arab flags, although the use of red is more commonly associated with the Arab states of the Persian gulf; design dates to 1912



Gosto da estrela lá no meio. É gira.

17 - Lebanon

three horizontal bands consisting of red (top), white (middle, double width), and red (bottom) with a green cedar tree centered in the white band



Aquilo provavelmente não é uma arvore de natal, mas gosto da bandeira na mesma.

16 - Libya

plain green; green is the traditional color of Islam (the state religion)



Na Libia foram muito práticos!

15 - Cambodia

three horizontal bands of blue (top), red (double width), and blue with a white three-towered temple representing Angkor Wat outlined in black in the center of the red band; only national flag to incorporate a building in its design



Seduziu-me o facto de ser "a unica bandeira nacional a incorporar um edificio no seu design".

14 - Georgia

white rectangle, in its central portion a red cross connecting all four sides of the flag; in each of the four corners is a small red bolnur-katskhuri cross; the five-cross flag appears to date back to the 14th century



Não gosto muito da escolha de cores, mas agrada-me que seja toda simétrica e tal.

13 - Belarus

red horizontal band (top) and green horizontal band one-half the width of the red band; a white vertical stripe on the hoist side bears Belarusian national ornamention in red



E se a bandeira portuguesa tivesse um xaile de lado?... Ficaria parecida com esta!

12 - Somalia

light blue with a large white five-pointed star in the center; blue field influenced by the flag of the UN



Azul bebé. Estrela branca. Ah. Eu gosto!

11 - Macedonia

a yellow sun with eight broadening rays extending to the edges of the red field



Gosto dos raios do sol. Amarelo e vermelho combinam bem.

10 - Barbados

three equal vertical bands of blue (hoist side), gold, and blue with the head of a black trident centered on the gold band; the trident head represents independence and a break with the past (the colonial coat of arms contained a complete trident)



Gosto do tridente.

9 - Brunei

yellow with two diagonal bands of white (top, almost double width) and black starting from the upper hoist side; the national emblem in red is superimposed at the center; the emblem includes a swallow-tailed flag on top of a winged column within an upturned crescent above a scroll and flanked by two upraised hands



Curti as mãos. E o facto das riscas estarem meio deslocadas.


8 - Kyrgiztan

red field with a yellow sun in the center having 40 rays representing the 40 Kyrgyz tribes; on the obverse side the rays run counterclockwise, on the reverse, clockwise; in the center of the sun is a red ring crossed by two sets of three lines, a stylized representation of the roof of the traditional Kyrgyz yurt



Deve dar uma trabalheira desenhar os 40 raios à mão!

7 - Bosnia and Herzegovina


a wide medium blue vertical band on the fly side with a yellow isosceles triangle abutting the band and the top of the flag; the remainder of the flag is medium blue with seven full five-pointed white stars and two half stars top and bottom along the hypotenuse of the triangle




Parece que as estrelas continuam infinitamente... é bonito!


6 - Kazakhstan


sky blue background representing the endless sky and a gold sun with 32 rays soaring above a golden steppe eagle in the center; on the hoist side is a "national ornamentation" in gold




Gosto da combinação de cores e do ornamento lateral. E de dizer "endless sky" na descrição.

5 - Zambia


green with a panel of three vertical bands of red (hoist side), black, and orange below a soaring orange eagle, on the outer edge of the flag




Deram pouco espaço à aguia para aterrar!

4 - Nepal

red with a blue border around the unique shape of two overlapping right triangles; the smaller, upper triangle bears a white stylized moon and the larger, lower triangle bears a white 12-pointed sun



No Nepal poupou-se no tecido!

3 - Kiribati

the upper half is red with a yellow frigate bird flying over a yellow rising sun, and the lower half is blue with three horizontal wavy white stripes to represent the ocean



Sol, mar ondulado. Dá logo para perceber que deve ser um bom sitio para ir de férias...


2 - Sri Lanka

yellow with two panels; the smaller hoist-side panel has two equal vertical bands of green (hoist side) and orange; the other panel is a large dark red rectangle with a yellow lion holding a sword, and there is a yellow bo leaf in each corner; the yellow field appears as a border around the entire flag and extends between the two panels



Gosto desta. Muito. Mas não sei como o explicar.

1 - Bhutan

divided diagonally from the lower hoist side corner; the upper triangle is yellow and the lower triangle is orange; centered along the dividing line is a large black and white dragon facing away from the hoist side



Amarelo e laranja?... parece que fui eu que escolhi as cores. Um dragão?.. ah! Bela!

As bandeiras foram escolhidas com base nestas:

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/docs/flagsoftheworld.html

Se as imagens não aparecerem, a culpa é do site da cia. Mas eu confio que apareçam sempre.

Não considerei bandeiras de ilhas e territórios pertencentes a frança, reino unido, china, etc.

Não aprovo, nem condeno os regimes politicos em vigor nos países escolhidos. As bandeiras foram escolhidas com base em critérios estéticos.

Madagáscar



Fui ver o Madagáscar... en la version portuguesa!

Quanto ao filme... é verão e tal (e filmes leves combinam com o tempo quente) ...e descontrai e tem alguns belos momentos (adorei os pinguins...aqueles psicóticos!) ... mas não é nada de especial. Diria que é giro... mas não é muitooo girooooooo.

Spoon - The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine

THE TWO SIDES OF MONSIEUR VALENTINE

every morning I've got a new chance
I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
cause he gets to swordfight the duke
he kidnaps the queen
and you think the score's set but you can't truly see
till you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine

every morning I pull on them pants
but I don't get out so much since I acquired St. Vitus dance
I turn the news on a while
I practice my scene
you think things are straight but they're not what they seem
till you know the two sides on Monsieur Valentine
in his coat and his boots and his blackheart machine
no, no one knows the two sides of Monsieur Valentine

every morning I've got a new chance
I wanna play the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
he makes love to the duke
he swordfights the queen
he steals the whole show in his last dying scene
no one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
no, no one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine

A NASA e a astrologia!

Não sei que diga... apenas que a NASA devia ter cuidado!

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) -- A Russian astrologist who says NASA has altered her horoscope by crashing a spacecraft into a comet is suing the U.S. space agency for damages of $300 million, local media has reported.

Eu estou em pensar em emigrar para a Russia para me casar com a astrologa e ficar com o dinheiro...

Quero ter este animal!


Daqui a uns tempos quero ter um animal de estimação igual a este. Sim..eu disse igual. Não me venham com merdas... os cientistas existem para quê? Toca a fazer isto...que eu quero um.

Maxïmo Park - Apply Some Pressure


Os Teletubbies dançam ao som de Maximo Park.


Artist: Maximo Park
Song: Apply Some Pressure

Lyrics :

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year,
you might be fine,
with the way i think about myself,
before you came,
i rarely thought about myself,

How dya feel,
I found a body underneath,
inside your head,
things i never thought about,

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year

What's my view,
well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?
What's my view,
well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?

You know that I,
would love to see you in that dress,
I hope that I,
will live to see you undress,
the every dare, is part of what consumes me,
the hit i deal, is part of what fuels me,

I testify, to hide my guilty feelings,
I must confess, I'd like to be caught stealing,

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year

What's my view,
well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?
What's my view,
well how am i supposed to know
write to review,
well how objective can i be?

I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,
I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,
What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,

I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,
I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,
What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
you just start again,
you start all over again,
(Apply some pressure)

What happens when you lose some pressure,
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure

What happens when you lose some pressure,
apply some pressure,
you lose some pressure
(on every-thing)
you lose some pressure
you just start again,

You know that I,
would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
still alive Next Year,
You know that I,
would love to see you in that dress,
I hope that I,
will live to see you undress

Acho que esta musica se infiltrou nas minhas sinapses.
