<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Depois de ler a campanha de NOVA pela libertação da mulher com celulite, ou seja, todas as mulheres. Pensei na campanha DOVE, com mulheres formosas e de corpos cheios de curvas e até gordurinhas. O verão está chegando e a busca pelo corpo magro tornam as mulheres mais desesperadas, academias lotadas, consultórios cheios e clinicas especializada em emagrecimento e perda de medidas lucrando cada vez mais.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Sim, não há nada errado em se cuidar, em buscar algo para melhorar o que lhe incomoda, mas ainda assim, o tempo é curto, e muitas não conseguem o corpo desejado para ir a praia ou parques aquáticos nas férias de verão.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Devemos sim ter vaidade, mas o que esta crescendo mais e mais é a vaidade exagerada. Perda de peso desnecessária, cirurgias plásticas desnecessárias, e muito dinheiro jogado fora em produtos que nem sempre funcionam. Tais cremes como os para celulite, eles amenizam, mas não pense que a celulite irá sumir, eles são para amenizar, vai por mim, já usei vários e só serviram para aliviar o efeito casca de laranja.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Eu sei que gostaria de ver novamente a campanha DOVE “verão sem vergonha”, eu adorava, e quando ia a praia, não sentia vergonha em me livrar da saída de banho e brincar com os amigos na areia.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Penso que uma campanha como aquela nunca deveria ter desaparecido, e espero que a campanha de NOVA também não suma, mas se elas sumirem, eu estarei aqui, para motivá-las a acender a luz para um strip para seus companheiros, para que transem no meio do dia com o sol e tudo mais, para que vão a praia e se sintam livres para sentir dar um mergulho maravilhoso, tomar sol (com protetor solar) e brincar com os amigos e o gato na areia sem se sentir uma “baleia fora d’água”.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Vamos lá garotas, mostre sua atitude e ousadia, isso vai além de qualquer beleza. Isso é valido também para os rapazes, pois afinal ninguém está contente como está! Os homens ou se sentem gordos demais ou magros demais. Viu, se você garota acha que tem problemas com balança, saiba que muitos homens, inclusive seu companheiro também sofre certa rivalidade com ela.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">O importante é sentir bem consigo mesma, olhar-se no espelho nua ao menos das vezes por semana e se admirar, olhar cada curva, olhar o melhor que há em você. Isso a fará se sentir muito bem.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Se ame, assim você transparece uma beleza que só há em você, e os outros ao seu redor irão notar e admira-la também.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:45pt;line-height:150%;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:&#34;">Curta a vida, pois tudo passa rápido.</span></span></strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some time ago, PBS aired an episode of Nova entitled <a title="Judgement Day" href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html" target="_blank">'Judgement Day'</a>. It was, in my estimation, an excellent discussion of what went on in the town of Dover when creationists attempted to inject their inanity about how life came to be into a Science class.  I highly recommend watching it, as it was an accurate depiction of what went on in the subsequent lawsuit.  And, yes, I have read both the trial transcripts and the judge's decision, so I am in a position to make such a judgement call. </p>
<p>The program re-enacted a number of highlights from the trial. Michael Behe, the only member of the Discovery Institute of those originally scheduled to appear, was supposed to be the defence's star witness. It turned out he was an unwitting wringer for the prosecution. Behe is an example of one of the most interesting properties of creationists (or intelligent design) proponents: their inability to change their ideas in the face of overwhelming evidence. Behe has been repeatedly told why his concept of 'irreducible complexity' and the examples he gives for it are completely bogus, yet he has never changed his tune. And this was why he was totally demolished on the witness stand. Of course, Behe produced his pet example of irreducible complexity, the bacterial flagellum.</p>
<p>Bad move. According to his definition of IC, if you remove one of the parts of the motor it ceases to function. But it is this definition which clearly demonstrates Behe's utter lack of understanding of evolutionary processes. Like his mousetrap example, he ignores that the various parts may (and do) have other functions. For some reason, Behe presumes that the flagellum motor is what nature <em>strives</em> for. But nature is blind and strives for nothing. The co-option of structures which have their own function prior to forming a new structure having a new function which is advantageous to survival is a theme common in evolution. Perhaps Behe knows this, but this says even worse about him. He's either ignorant or a liar - take your pick. For the flagellum, much of the motor is comprised of the type III secretory system found in other related bacteria. For the mousetrap, the base, spring and clapper makes a perfectly good (if less than fashionable) tie clasp.<!--more--></p>
<p>But Behe's problems were about to get worse, and he had only himself to blame. He put his own head on the chopping block and released the guillotine himself. First, he quotes a paper written by an expert on the bacteria flagellum which makes it sound as if the author believed that the flagellum was designed. But as soon as you talk to the author about it (and Nova did), he will (and did) quickly set the record straight: he meant no such thing. This is commonly known as 'quote mining', where a quote with one meaning is taken out of context and when viewed in a vacuum seems to mean something else. This is a favorite tactic of creationists (as many of us well know), and it is totally deceitful. But when Behe did it using the scientific literature as a source, he screwed up. The prosecution witnesses (who, as we shall see) are far more familiar with the relevant literature and knew the intended meaning of what was said and emasculated Behe for it. </p>
<p>It gets worse. Behe made a statement to the effect that there is nothing in the scientific literature which shows how the flagellum could come about through evolutionary processes. Ooopsie. At this point, the prosecution lawyer piles papers and books in front of Behe on that very topic selected by their experts. The defense tried to pass it off as just a cheap lawyer's trick. Indeed, and a great one. This 'cheap lawyer's trick' clearly demonstrated Behe's lack of preparation and the complete laziness in never bothering to find out whether there had been any work on the evolution of the flagellum before making such a statement. Had Behe actually read the material he could have avoided being embarrassed (I'm not sure he was, but he should have been) and scored a point for the defense. Instead, this 'cheap lawyer's trick' elegantly underscored an important point - that Behe is full of crap. Had he tried to publish a paper with such a statement in the discussion, I doubt he would still be teaching at Lehigh. The point is, to say something like that, you have to be up on all of the relevant literature, not just some of it. And Behe hadn't bothered to read any of it. One can only presume that Behe has no interest in the truth and serves as a dishonest broker. His mission in life is to lie to you for Jesus.</p>
<p>Other highlights include the so-called 'Wedge Document' fathered by Phillip Johnson. This outlines the incidious plan (he claims it is not nefarious, but that claim falls on deaf ears here) to inject creationism first into schools, then into Science in general under the guise of so-called 'intelligent design'. But, as Kevin Padian said, intelligent design makes people stupid. As I will talk about in the next blog on this subject, Phillip Johnson is on record for his desire to bring Christ into all scientific theories. So, who is Phillip Johnson? Is he some emminent biochemist like (insert sarcasm here) Behe? A Nobel Laureate in physics? Hardly. He's a LAWYER! I'm all for free speech and all, but c'mon. Everyone has a right to say what they think on a subject, but in the absence of any training in Science, Johnson should have absolutely no expectation that anyone will listen to him, at least not without laughing at him. Yet he curiously does seem to have this expectation. I've got to admire his tenacity, but I have no intention of allowing him or his ilk (like relative newcomer Ben Stein) to accomplish what would be the death of Science. </p>
<p>Behe was also forced to admit on the stand that for ID to be viewed as Science, the very definition of Science would need to be changed in a way that would include astrology and other nonsense. Once the supernatural is included as valid science, why do science at all? Chalk it up to a deity and let's go for a beer! Hey, if it wasn't so contemptably lazy and idiotic, I'd be up for that. In a similar vein, another defence witness had to admit on the stand that <em>no experimental research is being done in ID</em>. In other words, these people don't want to verify their 'theory' (which of course doesn't even exist). What are they afraid of? That they will be wrong? Speaking as a scientist, <em>we have no problem with the overturning of what can be shown by experiment and observation to be falsified hypotheses!</em> What this says to me is that these people <em>know</em> that ID is a bad idea and are just trying to snow their listeners with a lot of technically sounding jargon devoid of any substance.</p>
<p>But the best gaff was contained in the textbook over which this whole bruhaha came from, 'Of Pandas and People'. This book was being written at around the time a similar trial was happening in 1987. When the creationists lost that case, this creationist textbook changed the term 'creationists' to 'design proponents' and simply made a one-for-one substitution in order to circumvent the court's ruling. This lead to the 'transitional fossil' found in one of the drafts, 'c<strong>design proponents</strong>ists'. The judge said it best- the breathtaking inanity.</p>
<p>After the program was aired, PBS opened up a discussion board on their website. You should have seen the wailing and gnashing of teeth! 'Unfair!' 'Unbalanced!' Was it? This program was about the trial and what transpired. Both evolution and intelligent design were explained, even though this wasn't really about either (except insofar as the trial was concerned). Was Behe an idiot on the stand? You bet. The trial transcripts actually made him out to be worse than he was portrayed in the program! That Behe refused to be interviewed for the program was Behe's call. This alone was an interesting topic of discussion. What would you have done if you were Behe? Aside from such a switch drastically dropping your IQ, of course. </p>
<p>'Judgement Day' was indeed an accurate portrayal of the events surrounding the actions of the school board, the truly brave stance taken by the Science class teachers, trial testimony, the terrible treatment of those opposing the introduction of thinly-veiled creationism into a Science class by so-called Christians (including death threats), the perjury by defence witnesses and the subsequent removal of those on the school board which tried to introduce this crap into the classroom. Did all of this happen? Yes, indeed it did. Were the trial re-enactments accurate? Not having been in the courtroom I can't state that the mannerisms of the actors was accurate, but having read the transcript I can tell you that what was said by the actors was indeed accurate. That the defence made themselves look stupid was not the fault of Nova. Did Judge Jones, also interviewed in the program, find that ID is not Science, and that the school board acted illegally? Read the judge's decision. He slammed these people, and rightly so. Nova's job in this was simply to give an accurate depiction of what occurred. Not easy in a two-hour program, but extremely well done. So, this hue and cry I've been talking about really amounts to sour grapes. Intelligent design was deemed to not be Science. To make these people happy would require that the producers of the program lie and say it was. Now THAT would be unfair and unbalanced</p>
<p>Why did Judge Jones, a conservative Christian judge, come to the conclusion that ID is not Science? It's pretty simple, really. Science is involved in explaining the way nature works. Evolution is Science because it explains the fossil record, how features common to different organisms, like why we have hands and why they are so similar to reptile feet, which are similar to amphibian feet, which are similar to lobe-finned fish fins, etc., etc. It explains anomolies, lilke why Antarctic ice fish have no red blood cells yet still have the gene encoding hemoglobin, or why our laryngeal nerve loops around the aorta before coming back up to our throats, why primates have a gene encoding the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) which doesn't work, why the inactivated <em><a title="NANOGP8" href="http://shamelesslyatheist.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/human-evolution-chimpanzee-genetic-evidence/" target="_self">NANOGP8</a></em><a title="NANOGP8" href="http://shamelesslyatheist.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/human-evolution-chimpanzee-genetic-evidence/" target="_self"> pseudogene</a> exists only in chimpanzees and humans with identically placed <em>Alu</em> retroelements in exactly the same spots, and so many other oddities that no sane 'intelligent agent' (okay, c'mon- you mean 'Jehovah' and everybody knows it, so who do you creationists think you're fooling?) would ever include in the designs.</p>
<p>Having answered that, why is intelligent design NOT Science? It has no evidential support. None. Aside from disingenuously knocking a straw man version of evolution, it has nothing in support of itself. Every time I ask for evidence in favor of design, the response usually begins with 'well, evolution can't explain...' At this point, it's 'talk to the hand'. Even if I grant that what follows is a valid problem unexplainable by evolutionary processes (and I have yet to see such), it is not evidence <strong>for</strong> design. Get it straight, folks. The false dichotomy is old, very boring and only demonstrates ignorance. </p>
<p>And what is the mechanism by which organisms were 'designed', anyway? Every time I asked that question on the PBS discussion boards I was met with the chirping of crickets. ID has no explanatory power whatsoever. If you can't explain the 'how' of design, you can't make testable predictions. If you can't make testable predictions, you have no theory. If you have no theory, only hand waving words like 'design', it ain't Science. And I've already given a number of examples of obviously bad design which is well explained by evolution and give 'c<strong>design proponents</strong>ists' headaches, or would if they bothered to look. </p>
<p>Evolution only has to be as good as to allow organisms to reproduce. The frogfish's lure looks more like a piece of used toilet paper, yet is still good enough to catch its next meal. (I love frogfish, by the way. They are as cool as they are ugly.) This makes sense, since evolution can only act on what's available- a kind of stopgap measure, if you will. </p>
<p>Is Science being unfair? Should ID be given equal time? Let's get one thing perfectly clear: <strong>To place ID on an equal footing with Natural Selection would grossly overstate the evidence for the former and ludicrously understate that for the latter.</strong> If we scientists spend all of our time listening to every crackpot idea that comes along that has no evidence in its support, makes no testable predictions, isn't falsifiable, etc., we'd never get anything done. Those ideas that don't make the grade are unceremoniously turfed, made to do the lawn limbo, relegated to pushing up daisies. We gave 'intelligent design' a good deal of consideration long ago and discarded it on its merits (actually, its lack thereof). It's like a Christmas present, all wrapped in shiny paper and ribbon. Open it up, however, and you find the box is empty. ID was an idea that was never alive - It was stillborn.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Secret Invasion: Inhumans (****1/2)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/286/140505_20080908092241_large.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="418" /></p>
<p>I must say that Pokaski has a very good feel for these characters. Crystal making a gigantic stone Black Bolt golem to fight the Skrulls? Fantastic. All the Inhumans are written well in a believable fashion, and you still get the different sense of how this royal family acts in comparison to a standard superhero team. Loyalty above all else is the name of the game. So it's not even a question that Gorgon would protect Maximus despite his hatred for the man. I should also mention that the Inhumans' methods for torturing a captive Skrull in attempts to discern the location of Black Bolt was a perfectly ingenius way to go about their business. We're continuing to learn of the overall plans of the Skrulls as relates to Mr. Boltagon, and it's not going to be pretty. This is a great series so far, and Joe Pokaski eally does seem to have a future in print media.</p>
<p><strong>Nova #17 (****1/2)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/288/141432_20080924221623_large.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="418" /></p>
<p>Nova has returned home. Most of the events of this issue take place at the home base of Project PEGASUS, wherein Richard Rider, his brother Robbie and Darkhawk try to beat back the Skrulls from intercepting some seriously dangerous tech. The three characters engage in quite a lot of wisecracking (including a nice shot at the cliche of heroes attacking each other before realizing they're on the same side) and we've got the return (in a way) of the Xandarian Worldmind. But the best moment of the entire issues comes on the last page, where we have a big (from my perspective) return that makes perfect sense, considering that character originally met his end early on in the Nova book (hint, hint...It's Quasar!). Great reveal that was truly well executed and logical, and it sets up a lot of interest for the rest of the arc and potentially beyond, provided that he's going to stick around. I love this book. But you already knew that.</p>
<p><strong>Guardians of the Galaxy #5 (***1/2)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/287/140980_20080917203742_large.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="418" /></p>
<p>Drax gets his Wolverine in the sewers of the Hellfire Club moment here, as he skulks around eviscerating Luminals for a good portion of the book. This issue has a bit of middle chapter syndrome going on; things happen and the story continues to move, but not a lot of it grabbed me. The Drax stuff was fun, but as I mentioned, we've seen it before. A lot. There is a big reveal involving Cosmo that was a nice moment, and I did enjoy the way Adam Warlock discovered the traitorous dog with a nice continuation of the work being done in the Marvel Universe with the Eternals and the Celestials. I am also looking forward to the litany of "I told you sos" and overall smugness of Rocket Raccoon over the next couple issues once he finds out about Cosmo. This was a good issue, but nothing special.</p>
<p><strong>Black Panther #41 (*****)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/288/141409_20080924193005_large.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="418" /></p>
<p>Well, there was certainly an unholy amount of badass in this three issue run. There are so many great moments in this issue, from the reveal of what was actually going on with Black Panther and Storm to the final fate of the Skrulls. But like the rest of the issues, the real star of the book is Commander K'vv, the man that is running the Wakandan portion of the invasion. There is a running theme in the book of K'vvr struggling to figure out how to write a letter to his wife, and the final portion of the book is set to the narrative of the letter itself (this is, of course, going on after his bloody and violent end at the hands of the protagonists) with these stark pages of dead Skrulls and blood alongside the cheering Wakandans. The way Aaron wrote these issues is very sympathetic to the Skrulls, despite the fact that they are the invading force and should really be the villains of the piece. It's that little extra oomph that pushes this book over the top. The characterization of K'vvr is excellent, and the final letter is a very sobering series of panels. These are overall probably the best issues to come out of the Secret Invasion event. I probably liked the Hercules issues more, but they were not as accessible as what we have her. I recommend that everyone out there read these books. You will not be disappointed.</p>
<p><strong>Thunderbolts #124 (*****)</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.comicbookdb.com/graphics/comic_graphics/1/288/141397_20080924113829_large.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="415" /></p>
<p>I love what Christos Gage is doing with these characters. I should have started reading this book earlier. How long has it been this good? Every single person in this book and on this team is certifiably insane. And all of it is tempered by the strange sense of twisted honor that many of these characters feel. Many of them are legitimately trying to do good works, but have to deal with what simply boils down to mental illness, and at the same time, you've got characters like Bullseye and Venom right next to them that only care about killing and survival. The interactions between Norman Osborne and Moonstone are awesome. Songbird, Radioactive Man, the Swordsman duo, Penance, it's all great. I don't know if I have more fun reading any Marvel book other than Thunderbolts right now. Awesome stuff.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Те не бяха огромни скандали как може онзи да е влезнал, ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Те не бяха огромни скандали как може онзи да е влезнал, онзи да е излезнал, онова станало в къщата, ама те не били в къща, защо в двор... Просто го приемете като някакво забавление, което да гледате в 20:00 часа всяка вечер! Трябва ли всичко да се усложнява и обсъща като най-глобалния проблем на планетата?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Аз лично не гледам Big Brother особено много, но си имам на представа за какво става дума. ШОКИРАХ СЕ, просто бях напълно обезумяло развеселен от следната статия:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Биг Брадър контролира нацията с психооръжие. Дългото гледане на предаването ви прави зависими.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Засилени атаки с психотронно оръжие срещу българския народ са засечени в навечерието на предстоящите парламентарни избори. Всеки втори българин е жертва на експерименти за “контрол на съзнанието”. Из страната ни се разхождат зомбирани хора, които не знаят какво вършат и поведението им е управлявано от неизвестни за мнозинството сили. Това показва изследване на единствения в Югоизточна Европа център по психотроника и парапсихология - Училище МАГ.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Предаването “Биг Брадър” е средство за психотронен контрол не само над участниците в шоуто, а и върху тези, които го гледат редовно. Оказва се, че дългото гледане на предаването ви прави зависими от него и по-нататък вие ще бъдете манипулирани от заинтересованите. Психотронното оръжие е наречено “несмъртоносно”. Неговото въздействие е “тихо”, но както се вижда цялата нация успя да се побърка по едно предаване, което като се замисли човек, никак не е интересно. Но защо тогава се получава така? Нека започнем от самото начало.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://chudesa.net/?p=statia&#38;statiaid=1435" target="_blank">Целият текст</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Незнам кой болен мозък се занимава да пише подобни щуротии, но Биг Брадър е като всеки сериал, по който човек си пада - следи го, защото му е интересен. Същото е и с музката и всичко останало, което забавлява нас, хората. Ако някой го приема като промиване на мозъци или психоатаки - окей, но това звучи абсурдно.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://readrant.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/whodoyoutrust.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2906" title="whodoyoutrust" src="http://readrant.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/whodoyoutrust.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="412" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The New Avengers # 45 (****):</strong> The art plus explanations (can’t really say answers as I do not believe anyone was even asking these questions) makes this a solid read. Yes, “wasting” a page on the <strong><a href="http://readrant.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/the-queen-purges.jpg">Queen vomiting</a> </strong>in the toilet may have turned off some people, but I loved it. Vulnerability is always cool. I mean, <a href="http://readrant.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/blargh.jpg"><strong>this panel </strong></a>did wonders for Tony Stark.</p>
<p><strong>The Mighty Avengers #18 (***): </strong>More Secret Warriors!!! I feel like I’ve read this story already, yeah? And the whole V for Vendetta/Alias/Every spy fiction fake torture sequence EV-VAR! thing was more than a lot a bit unnecessary in my not so humble opinion. Unlike the clone Reed Richards torture scene, I don’t think the scene in this book fooled anybody. Truth.</p>
<p><strong>Avengers: The Initiative #17 (**):</strong> WOO! Wait, what am I so excited about? This was awful. The Queen doing her best “twirling moustache” routine at the end had me gagging on my own tongue, and then there’s that tossed in Star Wars reference… to one of the BAD ones? BLAH.</p>
<p><strong>Black Panther #41 (*****): </strong>EPIC. And final. I’m glad we ended our relationship on a high note, T’challa. I would’ve been truly sad if your last arc had been balls. Although, I do wish the payoff for this arc had been that Storm was a Skrull the whole time. That may have saved the book for me.</p>
<p><strong>Deadpool #2 (****1/2):</strong> Even better than the first issue, even with the predictable ending. BOOYA! Good Deadpool writing is back, baby!</p>
<p><strong>Guardians of the Galaxy #5 (****1/2): </strong>GARSH! When did this comic get so good? Out of all the anti-Skrull plans, I think I like Drax’s the best: ‘Kill ‘em all.’ Perfection. OH, NOES! <strong><a href="http://readrant.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/cosmo-the-traitor.jpg">Cosmo… a Skrull agent?</a> </strong>Say it ain’t so, dawg!</p>
<p><strong>Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. #33 (***):</strong> ‘War Machine: Weapon of S.H.I.E.L.D.’? ALL IN, DUDERS! I even like the <a href="http://readrant.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/war-machine-is-more-than-meets-the-eye.jpg"><strong>Transformers ending</strong>.</a> DING. This first story was mediocre, but I'm looking forward to this new direction.</p>
<p><strong>Ms. Marvel #31 (****1/2): </strong>Technically no longer tying in with Secret Invasion, instead dealing with the post-SI aftermath, the “Dark Reign”, whatever that is. Man, where has Reed been hiding this story? It was so good! Character building moments! Good times! No fight scenes! So, questions: Why does Carol want to kill Norman Osborn? Could he be responsible for this “Dark Reign”? Is it related to what’s happening over in Thunderbolts right now?</p>
<p><strong>Nova # 17 (*): </strong>UGH, this was the opposite of awesome. DnA are really letting me down on this title. To be frank, it sucks. It’s boring. I’m bored. Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. is boring. Quasar is boring. Dick Ryder’s family life is boring. Darkhawk is boring. BORED FOREVER!!! The most interesting stuff in this issue deals with the Super Skrull fake betrayal, but that’s over by the first couple of pages and then the book quickly reverts back to its natural state: boringtowne.</p>
<p><strong>She-Hulk #33 (****): </strong>What a difference the art makes. Same writer. Same shitty story. But somehow the fabulous art makes everything more interesting.</p>
<p><strong>Secret Invasion: Inhumans #2 (****1/2): </strong>finally got my hands on this and I was not disappointed. Tom Raney rules.</p>
<p><strong>Secret Invasion: The Amazing Spider-Man #2 (***):</strong> Better than the first issue? I don’t know. It was still UGH-inducing.</p>
<p><strong>Secret Invasion: Thor #2 (**): </strong>UGH. This book is FAIL. Why even make this a mini? There were absolutely ZERO interesting plot turns before Thor shows up at the end. Just skip the two filler issues and make this a one-shot where Thor beats the shit out of a legion of Skrulls. DING.</p>
<p><strong>Skrulls vs. Power Pack #3 (-):</strong> This books makes me cry.</p>
<p><strong>Thunderbolts #124 (*****):</strong> …and THIS book makes me giggle like your little sister on weed. WHEEE!!!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://musicovery.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://musashinm.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/musicovery.png" border="0" alt="Hot Stuff" width="96" height="128" align="left" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quem nunca ouviu falar de <a href="http://blip.fm/" target="_blank"><strong>Blip.fm</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.imeem.com/" target="_blank"><strong>imeem</strong></a> ou <a href="http://www.last.fm/" target="_blank"><strong>Last.fm</strong></a>? Creio que todos, né? Além do mais, estas são as maiores <em>plantaformas sociais</em> de música do mundo. Porém, obviamente, todas elas têm seus prós e contras. E quais seriam estes prós e contras? Não vou (e nem quero) listar todos detalhadamente, porque, senão, eu ficaria aqui escrevendo até amanhã (rs). Mas vamos a algumas opiniões pessoais, que tenho de cada plantaforma citada.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O Blip.fm possui ótimas ferramentas sociais, como a lista (geral) das <em>últimas músicas ouvidas</em>. Que permite você conhecer outros <em>DJs</em>. Além, é claro, de seguir o mesmo estilo do <a href="http://twitter.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Twitter</strong></a>, que facilitou, em muito, a aceitação da plantaforma entre os <em>twitteiros</em>. Porém ele peca em alguns pontos <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">importantes</span>. Como, por exemplo, a ferramenta, deveras limitada, de <em>playlist</em>. Não entenderam nada? No Blip.fm você só possui uma <em>playlist</em>...Preciso dizer mais alguma coisa?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quanto ao imeem e ao Last.fm...Ambos possuem ótimas ferramentas de execução (de mídia), como: as <em>playlists</em>, as rádios (patrocionadas), etc.. E elas ainda possuem uma opção de vídeo. Que permite, aos usuários, assistir os vídeos-clips (dos seus artistas preferidos). A meu ver, o problema delas está, justamente, nas ferramentas sociais. Nestas plantaformas, as opções de interação (com outros usuários) são muito limitadas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sendo que, com excessão do Blip.fm, todas estas plantaformas são péssimas, quando se quer conhecer novos artistas (ou novas músicas/vídeo-clips). Elas geram listas (de músicas/vídeo-clips) baseadas nas mídias que você acessa...E só! No Blip.fm você só irá conhecer novas músicas, se alguém ouvir antes! Pois, neste caso, há probabilidade desta música estar na lista geral de músicas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Não há nenhuma ferramenta que supre esta necessidade? Agora sim chegamos ao ponto que eu, realmente, queria (rs). Ontem eu recebi, de um amigo, o site: <a href="http://musicovery.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Musicovery</strong></a>. Que permite você gerar uma playlist, totalmente aleatória, escolhendo ano do lançamento, gênero e intensidade (energético, positivo, calmo e <em>dark</em>).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://musicovery.com/" target="_blank" title="Musicovery"><img alt="Musicovery" src="http://musashinm.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/musicovery.jpg" width="425" height="400" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E qual a minha opinião sobre esta plantaforma? O intuíto dele é apresentar novos artistas (e novas músicas) às pessoas. E isso ele faz muito bem! Porém, na minha opinião, existem muitas coisas que podem ser melhoradas nele. Como, por exemplo, uma ferramenta social que permita, aos usuários, enviar este artista (ou música) para os amigos.</p>

<p>But Rossini and Miller, who were assigned to the CIA-run <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterterrorist_Center">Counterterrorist Center</a> during the run-up to the 9/11 attacks, are prepared to describe on camera how the CIA blocked them from sharing crucial intelligence with FBI headquarters - and then later pressured them not to tell the truth to investigators.  <a href="http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/spytalk/2008/10/fbi-prevents-agents-from-telli.html">&#62;&#62;&#62;&#62;&#62;</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So according to one department, my DSL is connected and functioning.</p>
<p>Yet I can't connect to the internet.</p>
<p>After some digging by the tech people, it's discovered that no, actually, there's <strong>no </strong>DSL order attached to my line. I need to call sales to 'add' the order. <em>Which I'd done back at the beginning of September, duh</em>.</p>
<p>After some MORE digging by my "handler" (the customer complaint care team), it's discovered that DSL actually <strong>isn't</strong> offered in my area. Which is a surprise to me, since the gentleman I'd set my service switch up with back at the beginning of September <em>assured me</em> that DSL <strong>is </strong>available in my area. If it's not, why am I just finding out about it now?</p>
<p>I would've considered FIOS and not renewed my DirecTV contract if I'd known this. If I break my satellite contract, we'd owe a large chunk of money back to them for all the new equipment and installation.</p>
<p>What a clusterfrag.</p>
<p>I'm beyond amazement at the incompetence levels being displayed here, much less the breakdown of communications <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>from a communications company</em></span>. (And I'm told by an 'insider' that Verizon's customer service is rated #1 above all other telecoms...which just boggles the imagination.)</p>
<p>I am supposed to find out what Verizon's "bail out" plan from this gigantic FUBAR is today.</p>
<p>I'm not holding my breath.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">A Microsoft liberou, na última quarta-feira (27/09/08), a segunda versão de testes do seu próximo navegador, o Internet Explorer 8.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A empresa também afirma que nesta versão, itens como Segurança e Privacidade estão muito mais eficazes, além de possuir uma interface amigável, facilitando sua utilização.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">Gente, todo mundo sabe que aperfeiçoar a carreira profissional fazendo cursos e workshops é algo imprescindível! Agora... vou sugerir outro tipo de workshop ensinado pela Revista Nova (Revista mais obscena que a Sexy, mas eu adoro!<span style="text-decoration:line-through;"> tem umas dicas toscas mas abafa!)</span></p>
<p>E já que estamos aprendendo em psicologia que tudo gira em torno de um falo... vamos lá!</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Workshop sobre o pênis!</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://osdesbocados.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/longest_hotdog1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-431 aligncenter" src="http://osdesbocados.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/longest_hotdog1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="444" /></a></p>
<h4 class="texto" style="text-align:center;">Cada modelo, uma sentença!</h4>
<p class="texto" style="text-align:center;">Para cada formato de rosto existe um corte de cabelo que o valoriza mais, certo? Com o pênis acontece a mesma coisa: seu desempenho pode ser mais surpreendente se a posição ajudar o dito-cujo a dar o melhor de si. Identifique o design do seu bonitão e aprenda a tirar melhor proveito dele!</p>
<h4 class="texto" style="text-align:center;">5. Salsichão</h4>
<p class="texto" style="text-align:center;">Para curtir o comprido e grosso:</p>
<p class="texto" style="text-align:center;">Fique por cima, na tradicional posição amazona. Assim, é você quem controlará a profundidade, o ângulo e o ritmo da penetração - mal posicionado, o grandão pode machucar.</p>
<div class="texto" style="text-align:center;"><br class="limpa_both" /></div>
<h4 class="texto" style="text-align:center;">6. Hot-dog</h4>
<div class="texto" style="text-align:center;">Comprido e fino, ele proporciona mais prazer nas manobras nas quais você fica com as pernas fechadas, como papai-e-mamãe, colher ou cachorrinho com as pernas para dentro das dele. Assim, o atrito com a parede da vagina.</div>
<div class="texto" style="text-align:center;"><strong>7. Mini Salsichão</strong></div>
<div class="texto" style="text-align:center;">
<p>O curto e grosso pode ser valorizado com posições em que as suas pernas fiquem elevadas ou bem dobradas, como o popular frango assado. Assim, a penetração fica mais profunda, e o amigo não escapa.</p>
<p><br class="limpa_both" /><strong>8. Aperitivo</strong></div>
<div class="texto" style="text-align:center;">
<p>O modelo curto e fino mergulhará mais fundo e aumentará o atrito se as suas pernas ficarem elevadas e fechadas. Faça uma variação da posição missionário: deitada, leve os joelhos ao peito. Seu lindo se mantém ajoelhado na sua frente e encaixa.</p>
<p><br class="limpa_both" /><strong>9. Qual o nome dele?</strong></div>
<div class="texto" style="text-align:center;">
<p>Veja alguns apelidos usados pelas nossas usuárias para se referir ao pênis. • Júnior<br />
• Lalau<br />
• Moranguinho<br />
• Alexandre, o grande<br />
• Bebê<br />
• Varinha de condão<br />
• Elvis Presley<br />
• Joystick<br />
• Avestruzinho<br />
• Britadeira<br />
• Pimpão<br />
• Bichano<br />
• Equipamento<br />
• Picolé<br />
• Menino<br />
• Champingnon<br />
• Anaconda<br />
• Picasso<br />
• Canhão</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shallom,</p>
<p>I would love to invite all of you to lend out a hand for Titi Kristiani, who is in search of her sister. Below is Titi's email to us.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Perkenalkan nama saya Titi Kristiani.<br />
Saya berada di Indonesia saat ini.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Pada saat ini saya sedang mencari tahu keberadaan kakak saya yang bernama FRIDA NOVA NABABAN.<br />
Kakak saya pergi ke Canada dari tahun 2002 sampai sekarang. Tetapi setahun belakangan ini dia sudah jarang memberi kabar.<br />
Bahkan dari Feb-Mar 2008 sampai sekarang tidak pernah menelepon.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Terakhir tahun 2002 sebelum dia pergi ke Canada, saya tahu bahwa dia beribadah ke gereja Bethany di Jakarta.<br />
Dan saat saya browsing di google, saya menemukan link http://bethanytoronto.wordpress.com<br />
Sejujurnya saya sampai saat ini tidak mengetahui dengan jelas dimana kakak saya beribadah selama di Canada.<br />
<span style="font-family:times;">Saya hanya bisa berusaha dengan browse sebanyak-banyaknya dengan harapan ada yang mengetahui kabar kakak saya.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Terakhir saya mengetahui bahwa dia tinggal di ONTARIO.<br />
Dan sekarang dia bekerja di Sears Canada Inc. sebagai Customer Development Analyst<br />
Hal itu saya ketahui dari email yang dikirim pada bulan Juli 2008.<br />
Selebihnya tidak ada lagi informasi lainnya.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Saya telah berusaha menghubungi Konsulat Jendral Indonesia di Toronto tetapi tidak banyak membantu dikarenakan adanya Privacy Act yang berlaku di Canada.<br />
Kedua orangtua saya juga sudah berusaha menghubungi sanak saudara yang berada di sana tetapi belum ada hasil.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Kami keluarga di Jakarta sangat mengkhawatirkan keadaannya. Setidaknya dia menghubungi kami disini dan mengabarkan keadaannya.<br />
Sebab sejak tahun 2002 sampai sekarang dia belum pernah balik ke Indonesia lagi. Besar harapan kami kalau dia bisa pulang kembali ke Indonesia karena orangtua saya juga cemas sekali mengingat dia seorang perempuan, sendirian di Canada, dan sudah pergi cukup lama namun tidak ada kabar.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Saya mohon agar kiranya dibantu. Berikut saya sertakan informasi diri saya apabila diperlukan untuk klarifikasi.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="font-family:times;color:#333333;">Nama : Titi Kristiani Nababan<br />
Alamat : Jl. Pulo Mas Barat X No. 3, Jakarta Timur, 13210<br />
No tlp rumah : +62 21 4750006<br />
No tlp HP : +62818659865<br />
Email : <a href="mailto:titi.k@live.com">titi.k@live.com</a></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rita Verdonk is toch lid geweest van de voormalige PSP. Dit heeft de actualiteitsprogramma NOVA vandaag -maandag bekend gemaakt, waaruit blijkt dat Verdonk zich in april 1978 aanmeldde als lid van de partij.</p>
<p>Vorige week sprak Mevrouw Verdonk alle berichtgevingen in de media tegen en gaf dit een politieke zet is van haar tegenstanders om Verdonk en haar beweging Trots op Nederland zwart te maken.</p>
<p><strong>Nijmegen</strong></p>
<p>Verdonk heeft er nooit een geheim van gemaakt dat ze tijdens haar studententijd in Nijmegen sympathiseerde met de PSP en dat ze een keer op de partij heeft gestemd.</p>
<p>Ze ontkende echter altijd lid te zijn geweest van de partij die eind jaren tachtig opging in GroenLinks. Tot maandag, toen ze moest toegeven dat ze zich had 'vergist' Een vergissing... Wat zou je anders willen zeggen?: "Beste mensen, ik heb gelogen. Ik wil graag gestraft worden", of "Mensen kunnen fouten maken, zo heb ik me ook vergist"?</p>
<p>Aan jou de oordeel om je eigen oordeel te velgen..</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">This epic quote has been thrown around from the Brain Trust for quite sometime now. Planet of the Apes is by far one of our favorite movies of all times, and the quotes in the film are that of legend. The way man is heading our future may end up like the one displayed in “Planet of the Apes” man is evil as the quote from the sacred ape scrolls suggest. To think the whole time what Taylor was looking for was right under his feet. Man is the highest form of evil ever to exist.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">“Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.”</span></span></p>
