<p>Our streets our littered with used chewing gum, but next time your bubble loses its pop, don’t drop it—recycle it! <a href="http://www.annabullusdesign.com/" target="new"></a>Anna Bullus&#8217;s Bubble gum bin is made from Gumnetic, a new biodegradable material she developed made from sterilized used chewing gum and bio resin. The bin keeps chewing gum litter from our sidewalks and shoes and when full, the entire container is recycled to make even more bins. How’s that for cradle-to-cradle?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_730" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://365foods.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img00084.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-730" title="img00084" src="http://365foods.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img00084.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This year&#39;s available selection from BC Liquor Stores</p></div>
<p>Well this is a darn cool day.  I&#8217;ve been a wino for, like, a really, really long time (sounds kinda bad doesn&#8217;t it?) and I never knew about Nouveau Beaujolais Day until now.  I mean, I&#8217;ve always known about Beaujolais.  It&#8217;s a lovely, light, drinkable red from the Beaujolais region of France (duh!) made from the Gamay variety of grape.  In my experience, it&#8217;s a bit lighter and drier than the spicier Gamay Noir varietals produced here in B.C. (one of my favorites of which is from <a href="http://www.mtboucheriewinery.com/" target="_blank">Mt. Boucherie</a>, and the other one is from <a href="http://www.sandhillwines.ca/switch.cfm?public=awardsdetails&#38;winename=Gamay%20Noir&#38;winemakerid=1" target="_blank">Sandhill</a>).  It&#8217;s very pleasant and kind of &#8230; inconsequential in aspect, which makes it thoroughly dangerous.</p>
<p>The Nouveau Beaujolais is an early winter wine that is traditionally released on the 3rd Thursday in November.  That was yesterday.  All over the world, people have been racing to be the first to serve and drink this light-bodied, put-a-spring-in-your-step, bottle of happiness.  The guy at the liquor store said to me, &#8220;oh, you want the grape juice and bubble gum wine?&#8221;.  Hmph.  Well, it&#8217;s no Amarone, but damn!  It is hella-drinkable and thoroughly enjoyable and perfectly pretty.  I have never seen such purple wine.  Okay, so there&#8217;s a slight similarity to grape juice.</p>
<div id="attachment_738" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://365foods.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img00086.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-738" title="img00086" src="http://365foods.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img00086.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">That&#39;s purple, not red.</p></div>
<p>The thing that&#8217;s cool about Nouveau Beaujolais Day is that it&#8217;s<a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&#38;rls=en&#38;q=nouveau+beaujolais+wine+festival&#38;ie=UTF-8&#38;oe=UTF-8" target="_blank"> this crazy worldwide wine fest t</a>hat happens in the dead of winter when people are sort of thinking that wine is done for the year.  Not that it&#8217;s ever <em>done</em>, but let&#8217;s face it &#8211; who goes on a wine tour of the Okanagan in the middle of November?  National Beaujolais Day has been described as one of <a href="http://www.intowine.com/beaujolais2.html" target="_blank">&#8220;the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world&#8221;.</a> Cool!  <a href="http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/41278" target="_blank">According to Wine Spectator</a>, I am one lucky cookie, since I get to blog about this delightful libation this year &#8211; apparently 2009 is set to be one of the Beaujolais&#8217; best vintages ever. Sweet!</p>
<div id="attachment_733" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://365foods.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img00085.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-733" title="Mommessin 2009" src="http://365foods.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img00085.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mommessin 2009</p></div>
<p>Yesterday was a good day to come home and drink a bottle of wine.  Or half a bottle.  There were two varieties released in BC Liquor Stores yesterday: the <a href="http://www.bcliquorstores.com/product/959171" target="_blank">Beaujolais Villages Nouveau &#8211; Mommesin 2009</a>, and the <a href="http://www.bcliquorstores.com/product/950022" target="_blank">Beaujolais Nouveau &#8211; Duboeuf Paper Label 2009</a> and I contemplated opening both bottles and having a drink off, but my tasting partner, P, got thoroughly soused at an early Christmas lunch and was entirely useless to me on the tasting front.  So I settled for drinking half a bottle of the Mommessin with a few slices of <a href="http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/14475/french-batard" target="_blank">French Batard</a> from <a href="http://www.canpages.ca/page/BC/victoria/bond-bonds-bakery/4328439.html" target="_blank">Bond Bond&#8217;s bakery</a>, and a version of Portuguese Sausage and Kale soup that I made in my slow cooker while watching the world&#8217;s cheesiest television show.  It was a fine way to end the day.</p>
<p>B.</p>
<p>Oh, you want to know what the t.v. show was?  <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/v/" target="_blank">It was the recent remake of &#8220;V&#8221;.</a> Terrible.  But oh so good.</p>
<p>What?  You want the soup recipe?  Well that&#8217;s just pushing it.  But here you go:</p>
<p>1. Sauté  1/2 large onion (diced), 3 cloves of garlic (minced) and 3 Portuguese Chorico Sausages (2 hot, 1 sweet, sliced 1/4&#8243;) in a heavy sauce pot.</p>
<p>2. Add some chopped mushrooms, s &#38; p.</p>
<p>3. When starting to brown and caramelize on bottom of pan, deglaze with a little dry sherry or red wine.</p>
<p>4. Toss in the 1/2 large can of diced tomatoes you had left over from the casserole you made at the same time, a couple handfuls of fresh chopped basil and 1 tbsp of dried oregano.</p>
<p>5. Put in slow cooker.  Add 1 litre of ham stock that you made from this year&#8217;s giant Easter Ham Hock and kept in the freezer all summer long.</p>
<p>6. Add 2 &#8211; 3 cups of water because you think there&#8217;s not enough liquid.</p>
<p>7. 3-4 drops of Liquid Smoke, no more.</p>
<p>8. Chop 8-9 red nugget potatoes into little tiny soup-size pieces and mix into the glop in the pot.</p>
<p>9. Top with a few sprigs of parsley &#8217;cause they&#8217;re in the fridge and then fill the pot to the top with coarsely chopped kale (I used one really big bunch).</p>
<p>10. Turn on the slow cooker and set it to cook all day on low.  When you get home, give it a stir and turn it to high while you do your chores and heat the Batard in the oven and &#8230; voila!  Perfect Stormy Night Food that pairs reasonably well with your evening&#8217;s wine assignment (ok, probably an <a href="http://www.wineanorak.com/blog/2009/08/essence-of-touriga-nacional.html" target="_blank">Touriga Nacional</a> would have been better &#8211; it&#8217;s a darn stout soup &#8211; but the Nouveau did nicely in a pinch).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Eu nasci em 1985.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Vinte cinco de abril de 1985. Ou seja? Nasci <em>bemnomei</em> da década mais BIZONHA que já passou a civilização humana em TODA SUA HISTÓRIA.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quem aí é filho da década do TOSCO levanta  a mão!</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 330px"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_r2Fvm5EuKbQ/R5ul-bos1eI/AAAAAAAAACQ/0PgI2Q5CuJQ/s320/Menudo002.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Canta, baila sin parar!  Sube, baja con libertad.  Sueña, ríe como yo. Salta, grita oooohhhhh! ♥</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">RISOS.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas o que me livra da vergonha alheia de ter nascido em tal década é que tipos: eu só NASCI não me DESENVOLVI nela, saca?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O que eu quero dizer é que em 1990 eu apenas era um supereguinho que &#8220;andava&#8221; no braço de Papai Superego e Mamãe Superego, ou seja, não tinha muito espaço para fazer e acontecer. Não ia nas vagas oitentistas. Tudo o que &#8220;fiz&#8221; de tosco nessa época, não foi diretamente minha culpa e sim, dos <em>beus</em> pais.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Há!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ao contrário de <em>bim</em>, as pessoas que estavam no auge de sua puberdade e/ou tinham todo um desenvolvimento cognitivo próprio adquirido em outras décadas, ah, essas pessoas pegaram jacaré nas ondas dos anos 80 e deixaram um exemplo para a humanidade do que tipos, você NÃO  deve fazer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">E aí você vai olhar pra mim e, coçando a cabeça e dando de ombros, me perguntar:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cê falando das ombreiras Seu Superego?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dos mullets e dos topetes a là ninho de pitassilgo?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Das cores CONSTRANGEDORAS: rosa shock e verde limão?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dos permanentes?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Do batom cor de VIOLETA?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Da lambada?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Do metal farofa?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Das calças semi baggy cobrindo os <em>peito</em>?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Már do que cê tá falando afinal?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D05KznWSD48/RloPTGfr2hI/AAAAAAAAAI8/34PCSoZolW8/s400/poison_80sbighair.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="289" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Especifique-se Seu Superego!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Olha, num tô nem falando dessas coisas PONTUAIS, sabe? Tô falando do feeling GERAL que abarcou [pffff] essa década. Porque vamos combiná que, num espaço tão curto de tempo, o ser humano oitentista me consegue concentrar o que de mais freak já pisou na terra é algo assim, pra considerá né não?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tô falando besteira?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tô tagarelando?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Acho que não, hein? Acho que não.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas nem só do bizarro viveu os anos 80, ora bolas! Tem coisa legal por aí também, deixa lembrar aqui de uma coisa&#8230; pera&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://101discos.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/carbonabacktobasics.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-9" title="CarbonaBacktoBasics" src="http://101discos.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/carbonabacktobasics.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Back To Basics&#8221; por Wladimyr Cruz</strong></p>
<p>Conheci os Carbonas, se não em engano, no show do Marky Ramone na Broadway. Fui neste show com o João Veloso Jr. (White Frogs) e lá conheci o Melvin, acho. A partir dai, conheci a banda, e voltando pra Santos/SP, onde morava na época, resolvi promover um show da banda por aqui, em parceria com um amigo &#8211; Matheus Krempel &#8211; curiosamente, o lançamento do &#8220;Back To Basics&#8221;. O show foi um sucesso, pelo que eu me lembre, e abriu as porteiras do Carbona no litoral paulista.<br />
O disco em si virou uma praga, junto com o &#8220;Running Out Of Sense&#8221; do Holly TREE era o &#8216;hors concours&#8217; da garotada da época. &#8220;Macarroni Girl&#8221;, ao lado de &#8220;Hey@ Stop it&#8221; e &#8220;We Build Our Own Way&#8221; (do Street Bulldogs) talvez foram as grandes canções da cena independente em sua virada de século, ao menos em popularidade.<br />
A arte chupada dos Ramones, ao invés de soar pedante, dava norte a quem caçava algo no estilo no Brasil, além é claro, de carimbar a antropofagia pop que permeia todo o álbum, com referências a vida pessoal dos integrantes e ao Rio De Janeiro.<br />
&#8220;Back To Basics&#8221; influenciou uma geração de bandas bubble-gum, e não fica longe de clássicos internacionais do estilo.</p>
<p><strong>Por que &#8220;Back To Basics&#8221;?</strong></p>
<p>Foi o disco que definiu, completamente, o que é fazer punk &#8216;bubble gum&#8217; no Brasil.</p>
<p><strong>O que ouvir?</strong><br />
&#8220;Macarroni Girl&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>&#8220;Back To Basics&#8221; por Melvin Ribeiro (Carbona)</strong></p>
<p>Nesse mês de Novembro o nosso segundo disco, “Back to Basics”, está fazendo 10 anos. Por mais que esse texto seja comemorativo, acho que posso pular toda a parte sobre como não parece ter passado tanto tempo, né?</p>
<p>Nesse instante coloquei o disco pra rolar aqui, pela primeira vez em muito mas muito tempo mesmo. No Carbona normalmente é o Pedro que fica ouvindo os discos pra sempre. Eu e o Henrique ouvimos bem menos depois de gravado. Eu provavelmente faço isso com medo de ouvir de novo e achar que está tudo ruim.</p>
<p>Mas a primeira impressão  é a melhor possível! Gostei muito do jeito como o disco ainda soa! Então, um pouco de História e histórias agora&#8230;</p>
<p>Em 99 o Carbona não tinha completado dois anos ainda, fazia shows quase todo final de semana, já tinha feito a tour nos Estados Unidos e Canadá e lançado o “Go Carbona” por lá, estava naquela fase de topar todo tipo de roubada ainda e toda essa atuação tinha levado a gente a ser bastante conhecido/respeitado já.</p>
<p>Por incrível que pareça a demoramos muito a chegar a São Paulo (por alguma razão parecia que as pessoas não iam gostar&#8230;). Já tínhamos tocado em Curitiba e em outros lugares e, numa viagem para assistir o show do Marky Ramone na Broadway (tínhamos conhecido o Marky na turnê americana), reconhecemos o André Tor do Zumbis do Espaço, figura central para toda a história do “Back to Basics&#8221;. O Pedro tinha comprado o CD do Zumbis num show em Belo Horizonte com o Dead Fish e Zumbis era trilha certa das nossas viagens. Quem conhece o Tor imagina que ele foi no mínimo bastante desconfiado quando fomos abordá-lo, mas ficou com o CD e um tempo depois retomou o contato.</p>
<p>O André já tinha a 13 records e além do Zumbis estava lançando o primeiro Street Bulldogs, um dos discos que mais vendeu na história do selo. Ele se interessou em lançar o “Go Carbona” no Brasil mas o disco já estava na fábrica, pronto pra ser lançado pelo meu selo com o pessoal do ACK, a Traidores Records.</p>
<p>Começamos a tocar com o Zumbis direto e o André soube que já tínhamos algumas gravações de depois do primeiro disco. Mais do que isso, o Henrique tinha acabado de compor algumas das nossas melhores músicas. O André achou que já era hora de lançar nosso segundo disco e fez a proposta: juntar as duas sessões (uma para uma coletânea da Barulho, outra de um split com o Wacky Kids que acabou nunca saindo) e registrar mais uma com as tais músicas novas. Além de todos esses méritos, o cara teve um ainda maior: conseguiu a muito custo convencer que a capa deveria ser retirada de uma camiseta nossa que homenageava o logotipo dos Ramones. A gente achava que a associação direta com os Grandes Mestres ia parecer muito pretensiosa e tentou propor outras idéias, mas acabamos convencidos. De qualquer jeito, era apenas uma coletânea de gravações, né?</p>
<p>A resposta é não. Não era só mais uma coletânea. O “Back to Basics” acabou sendo o disco nosso que mais vendeu, ajudado pela quantidade gigante de shows que fizemos aquela época, a distribuição da 13 e a popularidade do formato CD. Produzido pelo mesmo Stanley Zvaig que fez o “Go Carbona” e o “Mighty Panorama&#8230;”, o Back trouxe algumas músicas que viraram favoritas do nosso público e obrigatórias no nosso set list nos anos seguintes: “Macarroni Girl” (nossa música mais conhecida da fase em inglês), “Lolly Pop, Lemon Drops”, “All My Friends are Falling in Love” e “Alarm Clock&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>#FATOS SOBRE O DISCO#</strong></p>
<p>* O lançamento do disco em São Paulo foi no Hangar, num grande show em conjunto com as maiores bandas da época (Zumbis do Espaço, Blind Pigs e Holly Tree) na primeira vez que o Hangar atingiu sua lotação máxima. MUITO QUENTE!</p>
<p>* As fotos desse show foram parar no encarte do nosso disco seguinte, &#8220;Straight out of the Bailey Show”.</p>
<p>* Foi o último disco da gente gravado ainda em ADAT, que era o equipamento mais comum nos estúdios da época. O ADAT era uma fita de supervídeo, um formato mais evoluído de videocassete. Só que resolvemos começar a gravação do disco numa Sexta-Feira à noite, e descobrimos que o estúdio estava sem fitas. Fomos até um posto de gasolina e compramos fitas de videocassete mesmo. A qualidade foi a mesma! O único perigo era demorar demais e a fita perder de qualidade, por isso o disco foi mixado logo depois do término das gravações.</p>
<p>* As fotos do encarte do Back to Basics foram tiradas em um show tributo ao Nirvana no finado Ballroom, palco de algumas apresentações memoráveis nossas aqui no Rio.</p>
<p>* “Metal Princess” foi uma versão de “Little Princess&#8221;, da minha outra banda na época, o HillValleys. “Are You Like I Used to Be?” foi um presente do Nervoso, que na época era do Beach Lizards e Acabou La Tequila e hoje está em carreira solo. “Hell of a Trick”, gravada com a participação da Vivi Staple, vocalista das Staples, foi um presente do Henrique para o Staples que acabamos gravando também.</p>
<p>* “All My Friends are Falling in Love” foi escrita pelo Fabio Seidl (Ack) em minha homenagem, e a primeira vez que ele mostrou foi no dia do nosso primeiro show “oficial&#8221;, no Empório (Rio). Passei no estúdio para buscar o amplificador, era ensaio do ACK, Fabio parou e mostrou a música. Durante muito tempo encerrou nossos shows.</p>
<p>* “Eve of Destruction” foi gravada ao vivo num ensaio que gerou as faixas extras do “Go Carbona” gringo. É um original country (Barry McGuire) mas a gente conheceu primeiro na versão do Dickies mesmo.</p>
<p>* O mesmo Fabio que escreveu “All My Friends&#8230;” é o Seidl de “Seidl Doesn&#8217;t Have All Ramones Albuns&#8221;. Segundo o Henrique, não valia ter o “All the Stuff” (disco que juntava em um cd o primeiro e o segundo do Ramones e em outra edição o terceiro e quarto). Na versão mais memorável dessa música, durante o lançamento do “Back to Basics” no Ballroom, Henrique cantava a música enquanto Fabio gritava “Oh, yes I Have” no microfone dos backings e ia tirando de uma mochila um a um todos os discos do Ramones.</p>
<p>* O disco faz menção a três lugares do Rio “clássicos” para o Carbona: o Empório (citada em “Rock n&#8217;Roll Freakshow&#8221;, palco de metade dos nossos shows no início), o Baixo Gávea (B.G. em “Are You Like I Used to Be?”) e a pelada na Lagoa (“All My Friends are Falling in Love&#8221;).</p>
<p>* Para uma reprensagem do disco chegamos a fazer uma capa nova, com uma guitarra Mosrite. Essa capa aparece no encarte do “&#8230;Bailey Show” mas acabou nunca sendo prensada.</p>
<p>* “Ocidental Accidental” é anterior ao Carbona, da época que o Henrique fez uma banda em Curitiba.</p>
<p>* &#8220;Tivoli Park” foi um parque de diversões da nossa infância no Rio (ficava na Lagoa). O nome foi tirado de um parque com o mesmo nome na Dinamarca.</p>
<p>* O livro mencionado na letra de “Are You Like I Used to Be?” é o obrigatório “Mate-me Por Favor&#8221;. Leia!!!</p>
<p>* A “Macarroni Girl” existe e é nossa amiga até hoje!</p>
<p><strong>O que eles dizem?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Comprei o cd &#8220;Back to Basics&#8221; pelo correio atraves do henrique (vocal). Na época fiquei conhecendo a banda pelos flyers de divulgação que usavamos dentro das cartas (flyers de divulgação = spam de hoje em dia uhauhaa). Tinha ouvido falar que a banda era tipo Ramones, Screeching weasel, peguei o cd e não me arrependi PUTA BANDA!&#8221;<br />
<em>(Tyello &#8211; Dance Of Days/Total Terror DK)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;O &#8216;Back To Basics&#8217; foi o primeiro CD do Carbona que eu tive, antes mesmo de comprar o &#8220;GO&#8221;. Na época, eu tocava no Seven Elevenz e antes mesmo da gente gravar a primeira demo, já tocávamos &#8220;Are You Like I Used To Be?&#8221; em ensaios, Escuto o CD até hoje e na real, para mim, é o melhor que a banda já lançou. É por causa deste CD que a gente conhece os caras e mantemos contato até hoje, ou seja, o CD é bem especial.&#8221;<br />
<em>(Tércio &#8211; Shileper High)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Cara, esse foi o primeiro disco independente nacional que eu chamei de meu. ouvi até quebrar. Literalmente. esse CD é BRILHANTE!&#8221;<br />
<em>(Pedro Cupertino &#8211; Fotógrafo/Fresno/eterno ZP)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Em 99 já tinha visto shows do Carbona mas o primeiro cd que comprei deles foi esse, e só com o cd em mãos e o vicio que viria com ele que eu percebi que não era só uma banda de bubblegum, o Carbona se firmou praticamente o dono desse rotulo aqui no Brasil, o cd só classicos como &#8220;macarroni girl&#8221;, &#8220;lollypop lemon drops&#8221;, &#8220;tivoli park&#8221;, &#8220;all my friends are falling in love&#8221; eram cantadas por todos freneticamente nos shows&#8230;o ano de 2000 foi marcado por muitos shows memoraveis pra mim no hangar110 com Carbona, Zumbis, Holly Tree&#8230;&#8221;<br />
<em>(Shamil &#8211; Inkognitta + um monte de projetos)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Falar o que do CD que tem a bela &#8220;Tivoli Park&#8221; &#8211; a única música que homenageia um dos meus lugares favoritos da minha infância&#8221;.<br />
<em>(Daniel Ferro &#8211; Emoponto)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Era 1998 se eu n me engano e o Carbona virou o Ramones Brazuca. &#8220;Macarroni Girl&#8221;, &#8220;Alarm Clock&#8221;&#8230; &#8216;Back to Basics&#8221; é classico do POP PUNK Br.&#8221;<br />
<em>(Matheus Krempel &#8211; eterno The Bombers)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Back to Basics é o disco de amadurecimento da fase “em inglês” do Carbona. A inquietude do “Go, Carbona, Go” continua lá, mas agora mais pensada e trabalhada. É a consolidação de algo que virou uma marca registrada: um toque mais pessoal em todas as letras, com as experiências dos caras, vide “Macarroni Girl”, “Metal Princess” e tópicos tipicamente cariocas como “Tivoli Park”. Tive o prazer de compor uma música para o disco que, sem saber, seguia essa linha: “All My Friends Are Falling in Love”. É sobre todos os caras deixando de ir a tradicional pelada que jogávamos nas noites e madrugadas de terça, por causa das namoradas. E tive a surpresa de ter uma música (mentirosa) batizada com o meu nome: “Seidl Doesn’t Have All Ramones Álbuns” inspirada numa discussão embriagada no Baixo Gávea com o Henrique sobre se ter os All the Stuff and More 1 e 2, os primeiros discos do Ramones a saírem em CD, contariam para uma coleção completa. Para mim, e acho que para o momento do rock independente também, um clássico.&#8221;<br />
<em>(Fábio Seidl &#8211; eterno ACK)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Há dez anos atrás não era qualquer banda que gravava um cd, e o mp3 não era essa febre que é hoje, então quando uma banda independente lançava um cd, você parava e escutava com calma, reparando no encarte e decorando as letras. O &#8220;Back to Basics&#8221; é desta fase, para mim a melhor que já tivemos. Esse cd foi durante muito tempo minha principal trilha sonora dos rolés de skate, e com certeza marcou uma fase incrível da minha vida. O Carbona pra mim é a prova viva de banda que toca por que ama, e qualquer retorno que surgiu foi por puro mérito e qualidade da banda, que outros métodos fiquem omitidos por aqui. Acho que o Brasil tá precisando de um &#8220;Back to Basics&#8221;, menos tempo no espelho e mais no estúdio. Música sincera, simples e direta.&#8221;<br />
<em>(Mateus &#8211; Phone Trio)</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Apesar de na epoca o cd ser algo vendavel, o &#8220;back to basics&#8221; era muito acima da media de outros titulos e eram disputados na 13 records. O disco é muito bom e é um dos meus favoritos do Carbona&#8221;<br />
<em>(Fabio Mozine &#8211; Mukeka Di Rato/Merda/Os Pedrero)</em></p>
<p><strong>Enquanto isso, no twitter:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;Back to basics&#8217;&#8230; eu curtia, era legal o sotaque do cara. até hoje eu me pego cantando músicas daquele album as vezes. Principalmente metal princesse e macarroni girl. in love with a groupie também era legal&#8221;.<br />
@Folxhm</p>
<p>&#8220;capa ramones, músicas que grudam na cabeça. Lembro até hoje do lançamento do CD no Armazém 7, Santos. Marcou uma época boa da cena&#8221;<br />
@renatomelo09</p>
<p>&#8220;o go carbona go! é melhor, mas não tira o brilho desse disco! coffee with you! lunatic é melhor que lunático! hahaha&#8221;<br />
@luizbejota</p>
<p>&#8220;Disco bom! clássicos da banda como Lolypop Lemon Drops, macarroni girl e All my friends are falling in love! rock 3 acordes!&#8221;<br />
@mairont</p>
<p>&#8220;Back to Basics&#8221; &#8211; Uma aula de como fazer música boa com melodias e letras simples, numa época em que não tinha chororô na cena.&#8221;<br />
@romani83</p>
<p>&#8220;Bom disco de rock. Carbona em inglês nos primórdios. Embora prefiro outros álbuns, os conheci através de &#8220;BACK TO BASICS&#8221;"<br />
@toticore</p>
<p>&#8220;um dos melhores discos do punk rock bubblegum nacional&#8230; melodias simples e grudentas&#8221;<br />
@betoramone</p>
<p>&#8220;porra, back to basics é clááásico. henrique botando pra foder nesse cd, demais. clássico mesmo!&#8221;<br />

<p>I created this piece as my final project of my Undergrad at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. Influenced by Janine Antoni and her notion that she must have an experience with the sculpture in order for the viewer to have an experience with it. The experience that I had with the materials in &#8220;Chew&#8221; relate to the theories of Anti-Form, working with the physical properties of the objects/materials and how I can manipulate them with body/intimacy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>My mom watches Dr. Oz to get healthier.  She has irritable bowel syndrome, and on one of the shows he says what foods can cause problems. Which is basically carbonated drinks and fried foods. That&#8217;s pretty much all my mom eats/drinks. Now she refuses to stop eating/drinking those things.  Basically, my mom wants to get healthier but doesn&#8217;t want to take the proper steps to get there.  -jeenyus1</p>
<p><strong>Apparently, because of him there has been a serious influx of women mistaking indegestion for a heart attack because he claimed that 200 women died last year from misdiagnosing themselves.   Unfortunately, now my ER doctor buddy has like 2 women a day coming in thinking they are having a heart attack after a pizza lunch or something.  What an asshole.  The only thing he&#8217;s offering is fear.</strong></p>
<p>How would YOU describe the taste of Bubble Gum to someone who has never tasted it before? -CalvinClimb</p>
<p><strong>Sweet, like a combination of fruits you&#8217;ve never tasted.</strong></p>
<p>When you think about it, there&#8217;s not a huge difference between a PS3 and a 360 controller. -floridan18</p>
<p><strong>The XBox controller just feels like a toaster oven in my hands.  It&#8217;s bulky, heavy and requires batteries.   There&#8217;s a huge difference for my needs, personally.  Doesn&#8217;t make it better, just makes it my preference.</strong></p>
<p>Are there any commercials on TV you can&#8217;t stand?  I hate that Trident Layers commercial.  No one accepts gum as form of compensation.  No one.   -ceilingcatyay</p>
<p><strong>Thanks to my DVR, I don&#8217;t have the problem of watching commercials very much.  But some might sneak in during live sporting events.  The new Snuggie one with the synthesizer theme song and they&#8217;re raising the roof throughout the commercial is pretty ridiculous.  &#8220;Raising the roof&#8221; hasn&#8217;t been appropriate since 1998. And they&#8217;ve got it all over this commercial like it&#8217;s the new dance craze.</strong></p>
<p>Know what pisses me off? Telemarketers that call you and put you on HOLD.  Seriously? You&#8217;re going to call me with some annoying sales pitch, <em>and you want me to hold the line while you find someone to give it to me? </em>-andyiceberg</p>
<p><strong>Are you kidding? This is where you hang up. Never has there been a greater invitation to disconnect the line, return the phone to its dock and go about your day. Either that, or get a cell phone.</strong></p>
<p>So it&#8217;s been nearly a decade and I still have not seen a valid explanation for World Trade Center 7 collapsing days after the attacks. -Argentiny</p>
<p><strong>And you will continue to not get a valid explanation because you have already invalidated the truth.</strong></p>
<p>Mad Men is just a soap opera for elitist douchebags.  -mnstip</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s really about romanticizing the era.   Theres a lot of nostalgia to be had on that show for us older folks. Not only all the accounts that the agency collects (whom all but a handful are companies bankrupted long ago, like Martinsons coffee, the Dumont network, and stuff like that) but in the way people treated each other, how men treated women. Also, how you could slap some strangers kid in public and it was okay because the kid was being a douchebag, or how you went on a picnic and left your trash piled up and drove away.  It&#8217;s a window to a different time in the world that some people view as a better time.</strong></p>
<p>Do fat bitches make you rage? -tombstonedave</p>
<p><strong>Only when they are upset at people for finding them unattractive and they get all high and mighty about how everyone is beautiful on the inside or some garbage.  Hey fat people, you are not entitled to other peoples infatuation because Oprah or any equally powerful fat/ugly person says you are pretty when they&#8217;ve never met you.  Additionally, some people think Melissa Joan Hart is unattractive, and she&#8217;s not fat, so it might just be the way you look, not just your fatness.  Thanks.</strong></p>
<p>Do you hold your penis while urinating? -Crow754</p>
<p><strong>At a urinal or outside, no.  Otherwise, yeah.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Rishab is 19 months old. His world is still limited to cartoons, toys &#38; few people he meets(ofcourse only few important onces are remembered). Usually after getting up from the bed, he keeps staring at us or keep quite for 10-15 minutes before he gets in to his normal mood. Yesterday afternoon immediately after he woke up, He was in a pleasant mood as if he was doing something and started talking to us. He said ta-tta (that means pluto a character in disney cartoon)<br />
<img src="http://rishab.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pluto.jpg" alt="Pluto" title="Pluto" width="291" height="295" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-103" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Babba&#8221; (that means bubble gum, again in one of the cartoon pluto eats bubble gum). He has never tasted/tried a bubblegum yet, &#8220;Aash..&#8221; (that means ice..ice cube to be specific). He used all these words in succession.</p>
<p>Looks like Rishab had a dream and he saw Pluto, bubble gum, and ice cream in his dream&#8230;</p>
<p>What a beautiful &#38; contented world&#8230; He just desires for such simple things in his dreams. Thats why he has so much of happiness.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>WHY BOTHER?</p>
<p>This is a rant. This is a rant about X-Factor, so make your exit now if you can’t be bothered to read on.</p>
<p>I am SO sick and tired of everyone giving Danyl a hard time! And precisely why?</p>
<p>A)   He’s a”bully”</p>
<p>B)   He’s gay/bisexual</p>
<p>C)   He’s more hated than Hitler…</p>
<p>D)   He’s “cocky”</p>
<p>FUCK OFF.  Just fuck RIGHT off. The problem is Danyl is f-AMAZING. He can sing circles round everyone. He came out and blew the judges away. I’m sure they were all wetting themselves hoping they would get him. But seeing as it’s Simon’s show, he of course got him. And the rest…well I mean Louis got the groups&#8230;again. But see a certain little green eyed monster going by the name of Cheryl Cole decided that she didn’t like him. And since she shits gold, clearly everyone must follow like cattle to the slaughterhouse. Everyone started bitching about him about how he was bully (calling the kettle black ay Cheryl, Danni)…</p>
<p>Then of course Dannii who is only got the job because she shares the same last name as her sister decides to out him to the public! How INAPPROPRIATE. How would she like it if someone just blurted out that she had a massive yeast infection cottage cheeseing all over the place. But then afterwards been like, “well we were talking/joking about it earlier, so everything’s completely fine!” Of course nobody cares if she has a yeast infection or not, but it’s still personal information that shouldn’t be shared with like 10 million people.</p>
<div id="attachment_13" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13" title="cottage cheese" src="http://queeniesbigmouth.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cottage-cheese3.jpg?w=300" alt="cottage cheese" width="300" height="219" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dannii&#39;s Junk</p></div>
<p>What really gets me is how Miss Cole was always goin’ on about how he was “cocky”. I’m sorry what? I mean she classes herself as some kind of singer (cough Fight for this love, I’d fight to NOT hear that song again) then she should flippin’ know that who you are on stage is different to who you are normally. Beyonce (lookin’ fab in her red lingerie number by the way) has an alter ego named “Sasha (Fierce)” but nobody accuses her of being cocky. She is CONFIDENT. There is a DIFFERENCE.</p>
<p>I find that Brits are all about their humble pie and not being too proud. Hubris is a bad thing, yes. But taking pride in who you are/what you do/what you’ve achieved is natural and GOOD for you, like vitamins.  Nevertheless  Britain is choc full of these “making the star” shows but they don’t really want a star. They want builder Joe you can do his bit then get on with it. NEWSFLASH BRITAIN: THAT’S NOT WHAT A STAR IS! A star has QUALITY, the X-Factor even. They’re supposed to be flashy, charismatic, and most of all GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO! If you don’t want that, then WHY BOTHER? ?!?!?!?!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Alguém sugeriu que fechassem o álbum com <em>Twist and Shout</em>, [...] &#8220;uma verdadeira destruidora de laringes&#8221;, como diria George Martin [...] e era John quem cantava. Se ele tinha condições? Ninguém, nem mesmo ele, sabia. Ele exigira demais a voz o dia inteiro, levando-a ao limite.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">John abriu uma caixa de leite e bebeu ruidosamente. Sem falar nada, tirou a camisa, ajeitou-as nas costas de uma cadeira, foi até o microfone e fez um breve sinal com a cabeça: estavam prontos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O vocal de <em>Twist and Shout</em> foi cantado por entre os dentes, com o rosto contorcido [...] E doía ao ouvir, também.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>C&#8217;mon and twist a little closer</em> foi transformado em um som estridente, agonizado e demoníaco, no último refrão, a guturalidade torturante mascarou todas as palavras e Paul, admirado, gritou <em>Hey!</em>, comemorando o milagre de terem cruzado a linha de chegada.</p>
<div id="attachment_1512" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 350px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1512" title="oi?" src="http://seusuperego.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pope1.jpg" alt="pope" width="340" height="469" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ui, que agora ninguém segura nois bee!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Seja lá o for que a imprensa esperava deles, ela estava completamente despreparada para o que estava prestes a acontecer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Vocês vão cantar alguma coisa pra gente?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Não!&#8221; &#8211; gritaram todos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Precisamos de dinheiro antes&#8221;, respondeu John.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;E quanto a você Ringo? Que acha de Beethoven?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Adoro, principalmente os poemas.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;E você é casado?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Não, eu sou o George!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Alguns dizem que vocês são carecas e que esses penteados são, na verdade, perucas. Isso é verdade?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Claro!&#8221;, disse John, &#8220;Sou surdo mudo também&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;George, por que você não ri?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Porque machuca meus lábios.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_1513" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 323px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1513" title="♥" src="http://seusuperego.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/postar1.jpg" alt="♥" width="313" height="438" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Além disso, não sou obrigado! u.u</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mulheres mais velhas se aproximavam da gente o tempo todo e diziam: &#8220;Quero me encontar com os Beatles&#8221;, conta um jornalista que fazia parte da comitiva. &#8220;Eu respondia: Não posso fazer nada. E elas insistiam: Você não está entendendo. Eu quero fazê-los felizes.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Após a maioria do espetáculo, era impossível irmos até a suíte deles sem termos de abrir caminho por uma aglomeração de garotas&#8221;, lembrou Wendy Hanson. Neil [o faz tudo dos Beatles] punha a cabeça pra fora e dizia: Próxima!, até que todas fossem atendidas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sempre que Neil questionava um promotor sobre as providências a tomar com relação às apresentações, era interrompido no meio da frase: &#8220;Já está tudo resolvido&#8221;, o que significava que haveria prostitutas nos quartos dos rapazes. &#8220;Eles detestavam aquilo e se livravam daquelas garotas assim que podiam&#8221;, diz Tony Barrow.</p>
<div id="attachment_1516" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 406px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1516" title="¬¬" src="http://seusuperego.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tumblr_kodn1vinrs1qzhi9wo1_500.jpg" alt="¬¬" width="396" height="342" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Se eu pegá um deles tô feita, rasha!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">John e George conversavam alguma coisa, quando um dos motores do avião entrou em chamas. &#8220;John entrou em pânico. Ele foi até a porta de emergência e tentou abri-la. Nós estávamos a quase 2,5 mil metros de altura, e foi preciso vários de nós para tirá-lo de lá. E aí foi George que entrou em pânico&#8221;, conta Kane.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ringo &#8220;empalidecido&#8221;, perguntou a um repórter o que fazer caso caíssem, mas qualquer resposta pareceria ridícula demais para ser postas em palavras.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Felizmente, o avião, soltando fumaça, escorregou de barriga no mar de espuma, e parou com segurança a quase 1 quilômetro do terminal. Quando as hélices pararam, fez-se um longo e ansioso silêncio. Ele só foi quebrado por um gemido vindo dos fundos, enquanto John se levantava. Com as mãos em volta da boca, ele anunciou: &#8220;Beatles, mulheres e crianças primeiro!&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_1518" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 340px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1518" title="ok." src="http://seusuperego.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tumblr_krzjowki9k1qzyql8o1_500.png" alt="ok." width="330" height="428" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Porque sou desses!</p></div>

<p>The user is stimulated both physically and mentally. XTC has the ability to suppress exhaustion which doesn&#8217;t mean that the fatigue is gone but that it is only masked. After the rush, the feeling of fatigue returns more heavily. At the same time, perception intensifies. Under the influence of XTC, people tend to get more intimate with others. Effects generally appear within 20-60 minutes. The first hour after that the effects are felt the most. After 4-6 hours the effects are gone but some people still feel the effects the following day. That can be a nice feeling, but also an empty and depressed feeling. A depressive or miserable mood can last for days. Side effects are tension in the jaws, palpitations (rapid or irregular heart beat), a dry mouth and throat, nausea and shortness of breath. Sometimes, movements are difficult to co-ordinate. These negative effects can lead to panic attacks, and are quality and dose dependent and will vary depending on sensibility, mood, expectations and the health of the individual user. Last but not least, the environment can also influence the effects.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gumheader.jpg" style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gumheader.jpg?w=300" /></a></div>
<p><span style="color:#999999;">My jaw is soar as I cram a third piece of Bubble Yum in my already over crammed mouth. &#160;The sugar is slow fading away along with the taste oh&#8230; in the 10 seconds after I first start chewing. &#160;The gum is now a pink gob of magnificent possibilities. &#160;I stick out my tongue and begin to slowly build a little pink bubble and then I exhale at a calm pace. &#160;The pink gum balloon begins to grow and my eyes get bigger. &#160;I get in a defense stance ready to fend off possible attacks by others eager to pop my trophy. &#160;Now the bubble is the size of my head, and then just then&#8230;the entire thing is all over my face deflated like my moment of temporary glory. &#160;I continue picking every sticky bit off my face. &#160;Ahh the days of blowing bubbles with bubble gum. &#160;Wait what am I saying, I just did this last week.&#160;</span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bubblegum-jpg.jpeg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bubblegum-jpg.jpeg?w=300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"></div>
<div><span style="color:#999999;">Not me but close.</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#999999;"><br /></span></div>
<p><a href="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hugebubble.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hugebubble.jpg?w=275" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#999999;">Now for a bit of instruction. &#160;Chewing gum and bubble gum are two different things. &#160;All pros use Bubble Gum to blow bubbles. &#160;The reason, quantity and elasticity. &#160;The key to blowing an amazing bubble is two or three pieces of gum. &#160;The hidden secret is to wash your gum. &#160;Yes I said wash your gum. &#160;I had a teacher in 5th grade, and her husband worked for Bazooka Gum. &#160;She explained you had to chew out all the sugar or wash it in water with your hands. &#160;Sugars are in tiny crystal form within bubble gum, and they burst your bubble, literally. &#160;The other key is to make sure you use your tongue properly as shown&#160;below.</span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a href="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/08844bg.gif" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;"><img border="0" src="http://chapmancatalyst.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/08844bg.gif?w=288" /></a></div>
<p><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="color:black;"><br /></span><span style="color:black;"></span><span style="color:black;"></span><span style="color:black;"></span>Now as for some of my favorites, I would have to say I miss Hubba Bubba. &#160;Then there is my all time favorite Bubblicious Cherry Cola. &#160;I really wish it would come back. &#160;Bubble Yum came out with grape which became a close second to bubble gum original flavor and Cherry Cola. &#160;Litte known fact about the why the pink one is called original flavor? Walter Diemer invented gum on accident and when he started to sell the gum he only had a pink color die and one flavor to work with. &#160;The real &#8220;original&#8221; as we call it today was tootie-fruitie.</span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><br /></span>

<p><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="color:black;"><br /></span><span style="color:black;"></span><span style="color:black;"></span><span style="color:black;"></span>Anyone out there remember getting bubble gum cigars? &#160;I sure do, and I loved them purely because of how much gum was in one wrapper. &#160;It seemed as I grew up gum kept evolving into new ways for me to ingest sugar and blow out my jaw. &#160;For blowing bubbles my personal choice is Bubble Tape, you know, its six feet of bubble gum for you not them. &#160;The best part is you can control the exact mount, which I have down to a science, for the perfect bubble.</span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/DY-LVfz7tjI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/DY-LVfz7tjI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#999999;">The next best thing to gum by itself was Bubble Gum ice cream at Baskin Robins. &#160;I use to get a dixie cup and spit each piece out so that I could chew it later. &#160;I think over time you came to realize you had ice cold hard bits of gum that amounted to only 1/10 a stick of gum, but its the journey not the destination right? &#160;I also loved Bubble Play, I would say that was one of my favorite ice cream bars to get from the Ice Cream man.</span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><br /></span>

<description><![CDATA[La Bubble è di moda!!! Simbolo dell&#8217;infanzia, rimane una delle immagini da considerare &#8220;]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubble1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-478" title="bubble-" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubble1.jpg" alt="bubble-" width="420" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>La <span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>Bubble è di moda</strong></span>!!! Simbolo dell&#8217;infanzia, rimane una delle immagini da considerare &#8220;evergreen&#8221; di quando, da piccoli, le forme tondeggianti e morbide ricoprivano posto d&#8217;eccellenza nella nostra mente! Quante cose ricordano le &#8220;<strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">BOLLE</span></strong>&#8220;?! e Quante accezioni si possono dare alla parola &#8220;<span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>BOLLA</strong></span>&#8220;?! Qui di seguito ve ne voglio proporre alcune tra le più strane, eccentriche e di tendenza! E se volete essere &#8220;in&#8221; vi toccherà rimboccarvi le maniche, mettere le mani al portafoglio e andare a comprare qualcosa dalla forma sferica da sfoggiare quest&#8217;inverno! </p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#3366ff;">BOLLE DA COMPRARE:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong> </p>
<p><a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubble.jpg"><img title="bubble" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubble.jpg" alt="bubble" width="420" height="341" /></a>Bandai ha inventato un giocattolo chiamato <strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Puti Puti</span></strong> che emula la sensazione (e il suono) che si ottiene quando si schiacciano le carte da imballaggio &#8220;pallinate&#8221;. L&#8217;idea è nata dalla collaborazione di Bandai con il produttore leader sul mercato di pluriball. Oltre ad essere estremamente reale, Puti Puti conserva in sè una &#8220;chicca&#8221; che con il centesimo scoppietto rende pubblica all&#8217;utente: ogni pacchetto ha un suono sorpresa differente che va dalla voce sexy, all&#8217;abbaio di un cane. Puti Puti è disponibile in 5 colori ed è collegato ad una catenina così da poterlo portare sempre e ovunque con sè! </p>
<p><a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/2439_1_468c.jpg"><img title="keyboard" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/2439_1_468c.jpg" alt="keyboard" width="420" height="341" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>Très Chic</strong></span> e di tendenza, la tastiera effetto &#8220;chewing gum&#8221; che non potete non possedere! Morbida sotto le dita e piacevole alla vista,la <span style="color:#ff00ff;"><strong>pink Bendiboard from Aria</strong> </span>è acquistabile su Gadget Candy.com per sole 22 sterline!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p><a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/6771_1_468c.jpg"><img title="bikini bubble" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/6771_1_468c.jpg" alt="bikini bubble" width="420" height="341" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se non resisti alla tentazione del &#8220;Bubble wrap&#8221; quest&#8217;idea fa per te! Il <span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>Bikini Bubblewrap </strong></span>unisce l&#8217;utile al dilettevole, costume da bagno e indumento sexy per &#8220;scoppiettanti&#8221; incontri! Distribuito da <a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/link/the-bubble-wrap-bikini-two-fun-pastimes-in-one">gadgetizer</a> per soli 20 dollari, è possibile acquistarlo on-line!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/vHC7WTFYHJM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/vHC7WTFYHJM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Oh guarda! Una palla con dentro un bambino!</span></strong> Niente di più geniale per tutte le mamme stanche di correre dietro ai propri bambini per preservarli da sbucciature e ferite di qualsiasi natura! E l&#8217;idea è più allettante se queste bolle galleggiano! Mentre in Cina viene considerato un vero e proprio modo di fare &#8220;baby-sitteraggio&#8221;, il popolo del &#8220;tubo&#8221; lo considera un vero e proprio modo di conservazione &#8220;del bambino&#8221; in un mondo in rapida crescita! che siate mamme premurose o semplicemente stanche di capricci e urla, mettete il vostro bambino dentro una palla e godetevi un po&#8217; di tempo per voi!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/1703_1_468c.jpg"><img title="fireplace" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/1703_1_468c.jpg" alt="fireplace" width="420" height="341" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La <strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">&#8220;Bolla di Calore&#8221;</span> </strong>così potremmo chiamare il caminetto ideato e distribuito da Antrax. Purtroppo Babbo Natale avrà difficoltà nel raggiungervi ma la vostra casa avrà  sicuramente un aspetto elegante! Oltre ad avere un design moderno e di tendenza, il Bubble Fireplace pende dal soffitto e può essere ruotato in qualsiasi direzione si desideri.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/cal.jpg"><img title="cal" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/cal.jpg" alt="cal" width="420" height="341" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Un pop al giorno! Questo è quello che si può avere con 50 dollari! Un calendario su cui segnare i giorni &#8220;scoppiando&#8221; la bolla contenente il giorno in questione!  Una scusa in più per divertirsi senza sentirsi in imbarazzo solo perchè non si hanno più 10 anni per &#8220;schiacciare i pallini di plastica&#8221;!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>BOLLE DA VEDERE:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubfo.jpg"><img title="bubble pic" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubfo.jpg" alt="bubble pic" width="420" height="341" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Richard Heeks</span> </strong>ha una concezione del tempo ben precisa, al punto di rendere le immagini che cattura all&#8217;interno delle bolle di sapone, vere e proprie opere d&#8217;arte! Fresche e colorate rappresentano la brevità temporale della bellezza, il tutto dal mood &#8220;POP&#8221;!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubblegum.jpg"><img title="bubblegum" src="http://loradelte.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bubblegum.jpg" alt="bubblegum" width="420" height="341" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Da piccola devo aver impiegato ore ed ore con le amiche nel cercare di fare la bolla più grande con una gomma da masticare. Una, due, tre gomme per volta, ma la durata e la grandezza non mi hanno mai permesso di fare una foto degna del nome<strong><span style="color:#ff9900;"> &#8220;the biggest bubble gum&#8221;!</span> </strong>A quanto pare l&#8217;idea non è dispiaciuta alla DRAFTFCB per la campagna pubblicitaria della Big Babol distribuita in Indonesia che mostra 4 scenari diversi con bolle da masticare al centro della scena!!! E chi altro se non la Big Babol è capace di fare ciò?!</p>

<h3><strong><span style="color:#ccffff;">Mensahe sa Masahe (Message through Massage) </span></strong></h3>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#ccffff;">- The Cruz Brothers</span></strong></h3>
<p>The Cruz Brothers will use touch to contextualize the dynamic relation of power and pleasure. </p>
<p>For the past few years, Francis Cruz and Patrick Cruz have collaborated and performed pieces that revolve around ideas of cultural displacement and its bearings of marginalization and sibling hierarchy and its production of violence.</p>
<p><a href="http://zarahackerman.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/723401534_l.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-179" title="Manolo Lugo" src="http://zarahackerman.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/723401534_l.jpg" alt="Manolo Lugo" width="510" height="567" /></a></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color:#ccffff;">Word Immediatisms &#8211; Manolo Lugo</span></strong></h3>
<p>With the use of the public and a dictionary, Manolo Lugo will play a random game of word association in order to engage in a satisfying and overwhelming dialogue.</p>
<p>Manolo Lugo is a Mexican-born artist residing in Vancouver. He obtained a Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in International Relations from the Monterrey Institute of Technology in 1999 and in 2007 a BFA from Emily Carr University. His work borrows from sculptural as well as from photographic discourses, structuring a sensibility around geographical displacement and its impact in the domestic and public spheres. In the work presented for LIVE, his interest in linguistics emerges from the necessity to re-assemble a fragmented and twice-removed self (geographically and linguistically) through the estranged terrains of a foreign language.</p>
<h3><a href="http://zarahackerman.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/dscf90451.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181" title="Zarah Ackerman" src="http://zarahackerman.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/dscf90451.jpg" alt="Zarah Ackerman" width="510" height="382" /></a><strong><span style="color:#ccffff;">A Potential Conversion &#8211; Zarah Ackerman</span></strong></h3>
<p>Zarah Ackerman will be having a potential conversation with artists Douglas Coupland, Michael Turner, and Stan Douglas in hopes of bridging the generational gap that stands between them. Topics will include: the power of potential, internal vs. external voice, psychokinesis, the hand vs. the tongue, projections of the self, storytelling, the body as contained/container, energy transference, and favorite flavours of bubble gum. </p>

<p>It feels so good to really let your hair down!!  Dance in the kitchen with heels on, belt out your favorite song in the shower, virtual shop for prime real estate&#8230;like an island in the Bahamas, keep rehearsing your big debut with Oprah, and maybe even try to win a bubble gum blowing contest with your kids, because you used to be good at it!!  Let out the stress and invite in the sillyness&#8230;it feels so good from the inside out!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[I realize that I&#8217;m really late on this bubble gum Smarties thing; I think it&#8217;s been out ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone" title="bubble gum smarties" src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d84/hellykwee/Misc/smarties2.jpg" alt="" width="415" height="335" /></p>
<p>I realize that I&#8217;m really late on this bubble gum Smarties thing; I think it&#8217;s been out since at least 2007.  But come on, give me a break, I haven&#8217;t been in the candy market for a while, now.  So I picked it out of a candy bowl in an advisor&#8217;s office because it looked interesting. And after trying one, it struck me as a confusing piece of candy. The name Smarties implies a hard, chalky candy that you swallow. This one starts out like a regular Smarties, and immediately becomes a soft chewy gum. So do you spit or swallow? Is it a Smarties that&#8217;s been made gumlike (so that you can still swallow it), or is it gum in the form of Smarties (so that you spit it out)? Are you supposed to eat the gum pieces one after another and just blend them all together? Or do you now eat them one by one and spit it out each time? I would like to hear what the candymakers were thinking when they made this, and how they wanted people to eat this.</p>
<p>So, after eating them, I believe that the candy is more like gum that is in the form of Smarties, and they were meant to be eaten together such that the gum just becomes a blend of all the colors.  But it still seems strange to me, because it is very tempting to just swallow each individual piece, as  a habit from eating the classic Smarties so often before. Also, I&#8217;d prefer to keep my gum colors separate.</p>
